-[Mum hums] -[doorbell rings]

[Dad] Oh, hello, Martin, come on in.

Peter, Henry, Martin's here.

-You going out again? -Oh, don't be horrid, Henry.

You know we've got Peter's teacher talk tonight.

Ooh, I can't wait for you to hear about all the Good As Gold Stars I've got.

Neither can I, honeybun.

Your Dad and I are very proud of you.

Yeah, cos it's really hard to be good as gold all the time.

Actually, it is, Henry. Much harder than you think.

Harder than being horrid all the time, I should think.

I'm not horrid all the time. Am I?

Anyway, what's for tea?

-Peter's cooking. -Cos we can always get a takeaway.

You know, save you cooking. What did you say?

I said Peter's cooking.

Peter's cooking? Cooking what?

Bye, boys!

House Hotpot.

Noooooooo!

-Why thank you, kind sir. -A pleasure, m'lady.

Oh, you!

[wind blows, romantic music plays]

-Good evening to you. -Oh, hello. Good evening to you too.

-Let's do this! -With pleasure, m'lady.

-Greetings, both. -Oh, greetings to you too.

Oh, dear, I'm getting flashbacks.

It's OK, just remember tonight we're Peter's parents, not Henry's.

Yes, of course.

Shall we?

[indistinct chatter]

Welcome, welcome to our happy place,

where happy children learn happy things.

Now, if I could just ask you

to collect your timetables from Miss Lovely over there.

And then we can get started.

The trick to a really good House Hotpot

is to give it all a really good stir.

The trick to a really good House Hotpot is not to make it in the first place!

And when you've done that,

you can add a little bit of magic water to make it really light and fluffy.

What's magic water when it's at home?

It's water that has magic in it!

So, it's just water then?

No.

It's water that has magic in it!

Oh!

Why don't Mum and Dad ever have anything to eat in the fridge?

Right about now, Miss Lovely will be asking Mum and Dad

if they've been as good as gold.

And have you been as good as gold?

Of course, Miss Lovely.

There you go then. That's your Good As Gold timetable for this evening.

Oh, how sweet! Did Peter make this?

He did. Isn't it lovely?

Yes, Miss Lovely, it's really lovely.

Lovely is as lovely does, I always say.

Er, yes.

Off you go now. Time to have your teacher talk.

And right about now, they'll be sitting down

to talk to Madame Tutu about my dancing.

[French accent] Alors...Henri.

Erm, do you mean Peter, Madame Tutu?

Non!

I mean, Henri.

Oh, er, right, because we're here to talk about--

Henri, that's right.

Henri Le Terrible!

Well, usually we call him "horrid", but--

Horrid, terrible, awful! Who cares?

Ah, yes, who cares?

We need to talk about Henri.

Alright then, if you insist.

What's he done now, Madame Tutu?

Pouf! What has he not done?

He has used my dance studio as a football pitch.

He has tied all the ballet shoes together to make a long rope.

I didn't know he could tie shoelaces already.

And then he used the long rope to tie up all the girls.

-Erm-- -And...

Oh, no!

And he put them all back again afterwards.

-[they sigh] -But that's a good thing, isn't it?

In the wrong box!

-Oh, well, then... -Goodness me, is that the time?

I think our five minutes must be up.

That Henri.

He really is horrible!

Actually, horrid is the word you're looking for.

Henry is horrid, most of time.

Ah, yes, Horrid Henri.

This is a perfect name for him.

You don't say.

To make a really good House Hotpot,

you have to have patience and skill.

And a lot of vegetables! [laughs]

That was a little joke. Do you think it worked?

Right about now, Mum and Dad should be on their way to see Miss Lovely.

Ahem! Excuse me.

Oh, er, sorry. Didn't see you there. Can I help you?

-We're here to talk about-- -Oh, yes, Henry.

Well, no, er...

Henry, Henry, Henry.

What can we say about a boy called Henry?

Well, you could probably say a lot but...

Oh, yes, the time we turned the ceiling blue.

[gasps]

What?

But that was probably my fault, trying to make a cup of coffee at the same time.

-Mr, erm...? -Walter.

You can call me Wheelie Walter.

Alright, Mr, erm, Wheelie Walter, do you actually teach Peter?

Peter? Who's Peter?

Will you excuse us, Mr Wheelie Walter?

Is he even on the timetable?

-No, he's not. -Then why did we go to see him?

Ahem!

Ah, Mr Soggington.

-We didn't see you there. -Do sit down.

'Ere, you look familiar.

Have I seen you somewhere before?

-Yes. -No.

I thought so.

I'm really, really sorry about what I said about your goldfish, er, Goldilocks.

Oh, don't you worry about that. She's forgotten all about it.

Three second memory, you see.

Er, who did you say you are again?

We're Peter's parents.

Mmm, nope, not one of mine.

-Well, we'll be off then. -That Henry though...

It was only the once, mind. Once was enough, mind.

It was one of them music lessons, you know,

the ones where everyone plays an instrument.

When he said he played the flute, my little heart soared.

Only it turned out he didn't.

Play the flute, that is.

Well, thank you, Mr Soggington. We'll keep that in mind.

Hello, Peter's mum and dad. I've been waiting for you.

Mum and Dad are probably talking to Miss Lovely,

because there's so much she'll want to tell them.

All about my Good As Gold Stars and my turn on the story carpet,

and my Wonderfully Wise Windows on the World project.

Another thing about Henry is that we can never, ever get him to do his homework.

Ah, well, you see--

And Peter does his sometimes twice over just for the fun of it.

Ah, yes. Well, you see, Peter--

But will Henry do his homework? No, he won't.

No, he won't. He'll sit and do a Gross Class Zero puzzle till the cows come home.

We don't mind Peter doing the Number Gnomes Doubly Difficult Giant jigsaw...

-Because that's educational. -And Gross Class Zero isn't.

All that farting and snot--

Yes, well, we don't want to bother Miss Lovely with all that.

[school bell rings]

Well, it's been lovely to see you both.

Er, yes. Thank you, Miss Lovely.

Goodbye, Peter's mum and dad.

Don't worry, we'll, er, see ourselves out.

Ooh, you can't leave without trying our delicious school food.

Oh, no, of course.

Oh, hmm. It's, erm...

Quite, erm, interesting.

We're very proud of our stew.

Made fresh every week by our very own executive chief head chef.

Marvellous!

Yuck!

Looks like school stew!

It's the same recipe!

Yes! I knew Mum kept a spare packet somewhere.

[Mum] We're home!

How was your evening?

Oh, well...

Did you like my Wonderfully Wise Windows on the World?

Oh, yes, it was, er...wonderfully wise.

And my turn on the story carpet?

Oh, yes, sweetie bun, it was very...

Turnful.

I've made us a wonderful supper!

Mm, what is it, Peter?

It's stew!

Noooooo!

So Number Gnome Three thought that he would ask Number Gnome Five

-whether he wanted to go with him. -That's nice.

And Number Gnome Six thought that she would ask Number Gnome Nine

whether she wants to go with her.

That's nice.

-No, it's not. -What did you say?

I said no, it's not. It's not nice. It's incredibly boring.

-Don't be horrid, Henry. -I'm not being horrid.

I'm just saying it's not nice.

Who cares what the Number Gnomes think anyway?

I care and it is nice.

-And then Number Gnome 24 said... -[plates clatter]

Don't be horrid, Henry!

-I told you, I'm not being horrid. -Who's not being horrid?

Me! I'm not being horrid.

Yes, you are!

No, I'm not!

Look, I even put my breakfast bowl in the sink.

Alright then, you can have a green square.

Whoo! Can I have a green square too?

What is that anyway?

It's a Good Day Bad Day chart.

I read about it in I'm A Lady.

-What's it for? -It's so Dad...

[Dad grunts]

..and I can keep track of how you're doing.

Each time you do something selfish or horrid, you get a red square.

But if you do something nice and think of others, you get a green square.

Ooh, that's clever, Mum!

Isn't it, honey bundle?

So that means green is a good day and red is a bad day.

Mm!

Henry said the Number Gnomes are boring.

Did you say that, Henry?

Well...

Noooooooo!

Mind out the way, Fluffy!

Miaow!

Oops! Sorry, Fluffy.

That wasn't very nice, Peter.

I said sorry!

Just cos you say sorry doesn't mean you're being nice.

Yes, it does.

Oh, can't believe mine is all red and yours is all green.

You're such a worm!

Hey! That's not fair!

You know the rules, Henry.

Well, I can't believe you didn't have any selfish thoughts yesterday.

What about when you told Goody Goody Gordon that peas aren’t that good for you

and so you would eat his for him?

I was protecting him from himself.

He eats too many peas. Although...

I did spend a few moments thinking about my birthday yesterday

and that was selfish.

[Dad] Yes!

Yes, yes, yes!

-What are those, Dad? -These, Henry, are gold dust.

They're tickets, to the Gross Class Zero movie premiere.

Yes, yes, yes!

I didn't think we were in for chance,

but I guess today's our lucky day.

-[laughs] It certainly is! -This calls for a cup of tea.

Oh! What are we celebrating?

Only tickets to the Gross Class Zero movie premiere.

Yes!

Oh, that's nice. Who are you taking?

[both] Henry, of course!

Not according to the Good Day Bad Day chart.

-But-- -No buts.

The Good Day Bad Day chart says that Henry had a very bad day yesterday.

But--

So you'll have to find someone else to go with.

But that's not fair!

But I have to go with a kid. I can't get in without a kid!

You could ask Peter.

-But he hates Gross Class Zero. -Huh! That's what he says.

-What did you say, Henry? -Nothing.

I suppose we could always give the tickets away.

-No! -Well, then...

you’re just going to have to have a good day today, aren’t you, Henry?

A very good day, Henry.

Be good, Henry, be very good.

Be very good?

But how?

♪ Roly, Roly, Roly, Roly, Mo... ♪

Introducing Very Good Henry!

Ready for action!

-Eek! -Hand them over, good boy!

Why are you dressed like a pirate?

Because I'm being a very good pirate.

-Now hand them over! -But that doesn't make sense.

There's no such thing as a very good pirate.

Yes, there is. You're looking at one. Now hand over those toilet rolls.

Won't!

Will!

-Won't! -Will!

Won't, won't, won't!

Now look what you've done, Henry.

What you've done, you mean.

[Mum] Everything alright, boys?

Yes, Mum! Everything's alright!

We're being very good!

[Mum] I'm very glad to hear that. Carry on!

Phew!

That's not fair, Henry!

You know it's my turn to stock the toilet rolls this week.

Life's not fair, very good boy.

Don't call me "very good boy".

You're only doing it so you get a good day, aren't you?

Well, yes.

Why don't you do your own chores then?

-Done them already. -Really?

I don't think so, Henry.

This looks like a dirty sock to me.

Better get that in the washing pronto.

You know how cross Mum gets if the odd sock monster comes to play.

Aaaaaagh!

Tick-tock, tick-tock! That washing clock is ticking, Henry.

Hey! It's my turn to polish the taps this week!

What are you doing?

You missed a bit.

-Uuuugh! -Uuuugh!

Who keeps their bin in a cupboard?

I do!

I take that, thank you.

And that one.

Today is turning out to be a very good day!

After you, Fluffy.

Thinking of others. [chuckles]

How are you doing, Henry?

Good, Dad. I'd say very good, in fact.

I've done the toilet rolls, emptied all the bins

and now I'm going to clean the kitchen.

Very impressive, Henry.

Isn't it Peters turn to clean the kitchen?

Yes, but I thought I'd do it for him today.

Very good, Henry.

Always thinking of others, me.

Just wanted you to know that I've finished all the chores.

Very good, Henry.

That's all the chores.

Yes. Very good, Henry.

That's all my chores and all your chores too.

Yes, Henry, I heard you the first time.

Hang on! I've been doing all the chores

while you've been sitting up here reading your comic?

Yep, looks that way, Henry.

Nooo...

Nope. I'm not going to lose everything at the 11th hour.

I've won those green squares fair and square.

I reckon you have, Henry.

Let's go and tell Mum, shall we?

He's up to something.

[Peter giggles]

There! All green.

You are such a sweetheart.

Dad tells me you've had a very good day, Henry.

Yep.

Looks like Peter's had a very good day too.

But... but I did all the chores! I did my chores and I did his chores.

He shouldn't have any green squares.

-Is that true, Peter? -Yes, Mum.

I thought I'd give Henry a chance to have a very good day.

Oh, that is adorable, Peter.

So he shouldn't have any green squares!

But I was thinking of you all the time you were doing the chores, Henry.

That's even more adorable, Peter.

-But... -[doorbell rings]

-That'll be Ruby. -What's Rich Aunt Ruby doing here?

Don't be horrid, Henry. She's come to collect these.

[Dad and Henry] What?!

She couldn't get tickets for the movie premiere

and you know how much Steve loves that terrible programme.

So I thought we could do a bit of thinking of others.

No!

Oh, no!

-[doorbell rings] -Hold on a Roly Mo, I'm coming.

Nooooooooooo!
