[TV] And that's why you'll never be more gross than...

Gross Class Zero!

-[turns TV off] -That show's the best?

That's why you'll never be more gross than...

Gross Class Zero!

How's your day been so far? Mine's been pretty good.

A whole hour of Gross Class Zero

without Mum nagging me to do this or that or something else.

You've got to admit that's pretty good.

That's funny. I thought I closed my bedroom door.

[Mum humming]

Oh, no, don't tell me.

-Oh, there you are, Henry. -What have you done?

Oh, don't be horrid, Henry. I've just tidied your room.

Now where do you want Mr Kill? On your bed?

-But I don't want my room tidied. -Oh, don't be horrid Henry.

Your room needed tidying up and that's that.

Now where shall we put Mr Kill?

He could go on your desk maybe?

-My desk! -Yes, Henry, that's your desk.

-You've tidied my desk. -Look, Mr Kill can sit here.

But I don't want Mr Kill to sit there and I don't want my desk tidied

or my room tidied or anything tidied.

Well, it's done now. I can't believe how much rubbish you had in here.

Wait. You didn't...

You tidied my drawers as well.

-Yes, Henry. I'm good at tidying. -But... But...

No buts, Henry.

You took my lucky thing!

Your lucky thing?

Yes. My lucky thing. It was in this drawer.

I don't remember seeing anything that looked like a lucky thing.

Well, it doesn't really look like a lucky thing anymore.

It's green. Well, it used to be and furry. Well, it used to be, and--

I'll have a look for it when I empty out the rubbish, but I can't promise anything.

Nooooooooo!

Ha! Gotcha, Henry!

Yeah. Go you, Ralph.

-Oh, what's the matter? -Lost my lucky thing.

-Whoa, that's bad. What happened? -Mum threw it away.

Whoa, that's bad. How come?

-What's up, everyone? -Henry lost his lucky thing.

I didn't lose it. Mum threw it away.

-Henry's lost his lucky thing. -[sobbing]

Henry's lost his lucky thing.

Oh, dear. I lost a lucky thing once.

Henry's lost his lucky thing.

My dad says it's all just superstition. There's no such thing as luck.

There you go, Henry.

If Brian's dad says there's no such thing then you're gonna be fine.

But I'm not. Fine, that is.

Yesterday morning, everything was fine.

I got a lie in, Mum made pancakes, I watched a whole hour of Gross Class Zero.

Lucky, lucky, lucky. But then Mum threw away my lucky thing.

Not lucky. And now my life is ruined.

[mug shatters]

Detention, you horrid boy!

That was a long detention. Thought you'd be out by breaktime.

Yeah, well, I guess it's just not my lucky day. What's that?

It's all our lucky things. We had a whip round.

Take your pick, Henry.

Oh, no, I can't take your lucky things.

Oh, come on, Henry. I'll get you some lunch.

Cheer up, Henry. Lucky is as lucky does, as my mum always says.

-What does that mean? -I dunno.

-It's stew. -It's stew every day, Henry.

Yeah, but there's stew and there's stew.

-And this is stew. -Hey, snot-brain.

-What do you want, Margaret? -Ooo-eee! Hoity-toity!

-Heard you lost your lucky thing. -Yeah, I did.

Well, that was unlucky, wasn't it? [chuckles]

Yeah, unlucky.

♪ I should be so unlucky, unlucky, unlucky ♪

-Huh, girls, eh? -Yeah.

-I dunno. -[bell rings]

You coming, Henry?

[sighs] Wonder how much more unlucky I'm gonna get today.

I dunno.

Clear that up now, you horrid boy!

Ooooh!

And so the Poppy Princess said to the Cucumber King,

"If you can help me to cross the tomato torrent,

then I can help you pick up the lazy lettuces." And the Cucumber King said...

Ow! What did you do that for?

-Henry, see me afterwards. -Yes, Miss Lovely.

"Well," said the Poppy Princess...

-Unlucky, Henry! -Yeah, unlucky, Henry.

"..Then will we do with the lovely burdensome beans?"

Lovely!

That's got to be one of my most favourite lovely stories.

Now, I'd like you all to write me 300 lovely words

on what they should do with those lovely burdensome beans.

What does "burdensome" even mean?

I dunno.

But I wouldn't half like some of those beans.

Here's goes. Wish me luck.

-Good luck, Henry. -Unlucky, Henry.

Yeah, unlucky, Henry.

About this morning, Henry.

Yeah. I'm sorry I spilt coffee all over you, Miss Lovely.

Oh, don't worry about that, Henry. I know a lovely dry cleaner

who's very good at getting coffee stains out.

Oh, right. Well, then, I'm sorry I interrupted your story.

Oh, don't worry about that, Henry.

I saw Margaret throwing things at you

and I'm planning to have a lovely word with her later.

Oh, right. Then why did you want to see me?

I heard you lost your lucky thing.

Oh, yes. How did you hear that?

Oh, we teachers have a way of hearing things.

Oh, alright then, Peter told me. He said you were very upset.

Something about your life being over.

Yeah, well, I might have been a bit overdramatic about that.

Oh, no. A lucky thing is a very important and lovely thing,

and to lose it is not a lovely thing.

Well, yeah.

So I've got something for you.

Isn't it lovely?

Er, yes. It's lovely, Miss Lovely.

-It's yours, Henry. -Mine?

Yes. It's your new lucky thing.

Oh, yeah, right.

Erm, thank you, Miss Lovely. I think.

It's a pleasure, Henry.

Now, run along now and write me 50 words on your favourite TV programme.

Thank you, Miss Lovely.

Margaret Millicent Maudita Smythe.

Yes?

Come and see me, please, right now.

[ding!]

Ooh!

Yep, that figures!

-That was lucky. -I guess.

-That was lucky too! -I guess!

Hey, guys. I'm looking for the Crooked Corner.

Oh, yeah, it's kind of up there and round a bit and then up a bit more.

And then you back round and, well, it's sort of in that direction.

Hey, guys, that's amazing. Lucky I found you.

Did you see who that was?

That was Fizz Whizz McTizz!

Oh, good, so you did know who it was. Only I wasn't sure cos...

Hey, guys! Cool!

If you want free tickets for the show, call this number.

Yeah. Cool!

Erm, cool.

And thank you!

That was Angus Airbrain the Third.

How lucky was that, Henry?

Maybe...

That's lucky, Henry! See you tomorrow.

Oh, er, yeah, see you tomorrow.

I wonder...

I'd forgotten they were coming to tea.

Can you believe it? How unlucky am I?

I'm so sorry you can't stay to tea.

Oh, darling, so am I, but you know how it is.

When one has to go, one has to go.

-Ah, yes. -Mwah, mwah!

-Oh. It's you. -Ugh! You.

-Oh, hello, Henry. -Hello, Dad.

-Well, that was lucky. -What was?

Rich Aunt Ruby remembering that she had another tea party to go to.

Come on, Henry, Mum's celebrating by making cheese toasties for tea.

-Sounds good. -She knows they're your favourite.

Can't be.

[Mum] Henry!

I found your lucky thing.

-You did? -Yes. It's a bit smelly, but..

-It's alright, Mum, I don't need it back. -Are you sure? It's your lucky thing.

-Yeah, but you know what they say, Mum? -What do they say, Henry?

Lucky is as lucky does. That's what they say, Mum.

Do they now? And what exactly does that mean, Henry?

[laughs] No idea! But I reckon it makes sense somehow.

Don't you?

And so in keeping with the fair and equal spirit of this school...

Nothing fair and equal about this school.

Too right.

..we have decided to hold an election,

to choose a representative of the school to sit on the School Council.

[boys] Ooh, pick me! Pick me, Miss Oddbod!

I said we have decided to hold an election.

That means you have to get enough votes to be elected,

so that you can be a representative of the school.

Oh, yes, Miss Oddbod. Pick me! Pick me!

Ooh!

Optimum vincat!

What does that mean?

"May the best person win".

Reckon you'd be good for that, Henry.

No, I wouldn't. What are you talking about, anyway?

-The election. -Election? What election?

The one to be on the School Council.

The one that's going to fair and equal. I don't think!

Who'd want to be on the School Council, anyway?

I would love to be on School Council.

Yes, just think of all the extra special things you could get done.

You could introduce a Tidy Up Day.

A Day of Good Deeds.

A Bring All Your Colouring Pencils To School

So You Can Swap Them With Your Best Friends Day.

Oh, how I would love to be on School Council.

[chuckles]

There you go, Henry. Think of all the extra special things you could get done.

How about no school for a year? [laughs]

If they mean what they say, this could be a real opportunity, Henry.

But why me? Why do you think I should do it?

Cos everyone will vote for you.

Huh, I don't think so.

Anyway, I've got more important things to think about.

-Like what, Henry? -Like Stuck-Up Steve.

He's coming to stay with us, cos Rich Aunt Ruby's got some conference

she has to go to and apparently there's no one to look after him.

Good luck with that then, Henry.

You mean, good luck with that, everyone.

He's coming into school tomorrow cos Mum and Dad are at work.

[all] Noooooooo!

And then I was elected as captain of the five-a-side tiddlywinks team.

-Oooh! -That sounds exciting.

-Morning, Henry. -[grunts]

Oh, yah, it is very exciting.

Almost as exciting as being leader of the Free World Society.

What's that when it's at home?

Don't be horrid, Henry.

Ooh, ooh, we're having elections at our school!

Are you now?

Yes, we are and I'm really hoping that they'll pick me.

Sweetie, if it's an election, they'll be voting for you.

It takes courage, confidence and nerves of steel to be a winner, Peter.

And a Good As Gold Book that's full of Good As Gold Stars.

[chuckles] That's not how it works, Peter.

OK, yah, so at my school we get a head start if your parents are very, very rich.

Or if you've got three houses, one of which is a castle.

-Well, how is that fair? -Oh, it's not.

[sighs]

Come on, everyone, it's time for school.

Look at him! He thinks he's so smart.

Well, he's got an audience.

So that was my fifth successful election. Or was it my sixth?

That's six times too many.

Hey, Henry, wait up.

I'm standing for election.

Huh, for what? The World Jelly Baby Council?

No. Your School Council.

You're standing for our School Council?

Oh, yah. I've had a word with Miss Battle-Axe

and there's nothing in the rules to stop me.

But it's our School Council. You don't even go to this school.

Well, I do for today and apparently that's enough.

Right, that's it, I'm standing for election.

If you're standing, then I'll be your campaign manager.

Yeah, your campaign manager. Managers.

Thank you. I think.

So, would our two candidates like to tell us

what they can promise when or rather, if, they are elected?

Certainly, Miss B. If I may call you that.

[giggles]

My message is a simple one.

You can say that again.

I promise to make Ashton great again.

You what? When was Ashton ever great?

Don't be horrid, Henry!

I mean, I know it's our home and the football team's not bad

and it's got a Whopper Whoopee and the park's pretty cool, but it's not great.

Exactly, Henry. So I'm going to make it great again.

What am I going to say?

-I'm sure you'll come up with something. -Yeah, come up with something.

Thanks!

Erm, well, my mission is very simple too.

[coughs] If I am elected I promise...

No more detention, no more homework

and chocolate milk shakes for everyone!

Phew!

Jolly good, Henry. Jolly good.

I'm still going to win. by the way.

What were you thinking?

Yeah, were you thinking?

Probably not.

It's not funny, Henry. I'm putting my reputation on the line for you.

-Well, I didn't ask you to. -No, you didn't.

But if you think I'm having that toffee-nosed turtle bonce as my leader.

He doesn't think that, Margaret. Let's get down to business.

Right. So, Henry, your manifesto?

-Yeah, your manifesto. -Yeah, I thought I did quite well there.

-It stinks. -What?

-I said it stinks. And I'll tell you why. -I'm sure you will.

It stinks because, number one,

you're the only one in the school who gets regular detention,

so getting rid of it won't make much difference to our lives.

Well, I suppose we'd see a bit more of Henry.

Precisely. And number two, some of us like having homework to do.

You do?

Yes, we do. It's a special form of brain exercise

which can expand your knowledge and make you clever.

What about the chocolate milk shakes? That's got to get me some votes.

Not everyone likes chocolate milk shake, Henry.

Vote for Henry, he's the one.

The Best Boys are backing you. That's a good sign.

Is it?

Don't worry, Henry, we're behind you.

-Every day. -All the way.

-Hooray! -Great. I'm definitely going to lose.

Why are you backing me anyway? I thought you wanted to be on the Council?

We decided it would be unconstitutional for us to stand as individuals.

Er, right.

We don't believe in competition between us.

Because we are such a happy group of Best Boys.

And we don't want to be unhappy.

So we're backing you instead.

Why me? Why not Steve?

Because you're my big brother, Henry.

And you're the lesser of two evils.

[laughter]

Well, at least he's honest.

Thanks, worm!

[chatter]

Let the voting begin!

[cheering]

With one adjustment.

I have decided, on the advice of Miss Battle-Axe,

that the oldest of the two candidates should be given a head start.

[gasps]

That means that Steven will start with 30% of the vote,

as he is 30% older than Henry.

That's not fair!

Do something about it then.

Well, what did she say?

She said that she thinks it is fair.

That Miss Battle-Axe told her that it's the same system

they use for the Giddiantus Brick House peace process.

Yeah, and that works!

Not!

Looks like she's sitting on your votes, Henry.

You reckon?

[Margaret] Yep. I reckon.

[children complaining]

Well, I guess all's fair in love and war.

Well, I did get elected.

Fair and square, even though Stuck-Up Steve had a head start,

just cos he was older than me. And this is my list of demands to the School Council.

Ah, Henry. Welcome.

Aren't they staying for the meeting?

-Oh, we've had the meeting already. -But...

You've got one minute to say what you've got to say, Henry, starting from now.

Nooooooo!
