S1 E4 • Say Cheese

Philip has got his laptop out, and is showing Caroline and Emma an image of himself in front of the Mona Lisa, but instead of printing off some copies he manages to delete the picture completely. Sophie has also mistakenly just deleted the only other copy of the picture from the camera. Emma persuades Sophie that they could recreate the picture, with Adil's help, so their father won't find out about Sophie's error. Adil "magics up" the Mona Lisa, and the wall on which it hangs, in the hope of persuading an unsuspecting Philip to pose in front of it. The disappearance of the Mona Lisa from the Louvre causes consternation in Paris, of course, but the girls aren't too concerned, until they need to hide the painting from Caroline. Adil hides the painting where no-one will ever need to look, in the waste disposal, and the painting gets destroyed. Ever resourceful, the girls decide to bring back Leonardo Da Vinci to paint another version of the Mona Lisa. He requires paying, and his services do not come cheap, although he eventually settles for payment in Cheese Puffs, which he thinks are delicious, and Philip's Hawaiian shirt. The painting is recreated, and returned to the Louvre, after Philip has had his photograph taken in front of it. The new painting, however, is not quite the same as the old. With Joseph Long as Leonardo Da Vinci, Carl Proctor, the show's casting director, as the News Reporter and Arnold Widdowson, one of the series' regular writers, as the Police Inspector. Written by Grant Cathro. Directed by Jean-Francois Didelot.

S1 E14 • Do You Want to Dance?

Emma has been practising her classical dancing. Philip performs 'The Hustle', but she is not impressed. Adil performs his Balamkadaar Sand Dance, and no-one is impressed. Sophie has borrowed Dolly, her friend Harold's pet spider, and discovers that Adil is terrified of spiders, and hides whenever he sees one. At dance class, Miss Swift tells Emma and another pupil, Frank, that, because they are the best dancers in class, she has entered them for a TV talent competition. Philip arrives to collect Emma, and meets Miss Swift for the first time. He is enamoured with her, and she with him, so Philip decides to take dancing lessons at Miss Swift's class. Worried that her father will humiliate her, Emma gets Adil to turn Philip's dancing shoes into shoes that can dance of their own accord. At dance class everyone, including Philip, is surprised at how well he can dance, and Miss Swift decides that Philip should be her new dance partner. Meanwhile, Sophie tries to cure Adil of his fear of spiders. Emma receives a phone call from her dancing partner, Frank, who tells her that they have been bumped from the TV competition in favour of Miss Swift and her new dancing partner, Philip. Neither Emma nor Philip are impressed by Miss Swift's ruthless pursuit of stardom, and Philip declines to dance with her. Miss Swift decides to have Frank as her dance partner. Philip and Emma decide to enter the competition as well, after Emma realises that the Dancing Shoes could win it for them. The Dancing Shoes turn out to be as scared of spiders as Adil is, and run away, forcing Philip to perform in ordinary shoes. Needless to say, Emma and Philip's performance of 'The Hustle' wins the show. And Adil gets cured of his arachnophobia. With David McMullen (misspelt as McMullan) as Frank, and Georgia Slowe as Bonnie Swift. Danny Bayne doubles for Adam Morris's legs in some of the dance sequences – he, as Danny B, has since gone on to better things, winning the TV talent show Grease is the Word, an interesting example of life imitating Genie in the House. Written by Grant Cathro. Directed by Emmanuelle Dubergey. Vicky Longley is credited with choreographing the dance sequences.

S1 E24 • Mummy Dearest

It's Adil's 1500th birthday, the equivalent of 15 human years. Things have already started to go wrong, though, after the girls wished that their father had a magnetic personality, and Philip finds that anything metal is attracted to him, literally. But there's worse to come, for Adil's mother, Jamilla, has decided to attend the birthday celebrations. And even worse, Adil has told his mother that he is a very successful genie to a very rich sultan and his two daughters. The Nortons agree to big Adil up, so that Adil's mother doesn't find out that Adil isn't quite the wonder genie he had told her. A genie's 1500th birthday is traditionally the time he gets married, and Adil's mother has brought his new bride, Dooma. But things don't go quite according to plan, because Sophie and Emma think Adil doesn't want to get married, even though Adil is besotted with Dooma, so the girls hatch a plan. They decide to pretend that Adil was already betrothed to Princess Sophie, and therefore couldn't marry Dooma. Meanwhile, Dooma tells Adil that she is love with another genie, and cannot marry Adil. Everything gets sorted, Adil's mother finds out that Adil is not the world's best genie, and Adil decides that he's too young to marry, anyway. With Guest Stars, Sue Kyd as Jamilla, Adil's mother, and Fiona Wade as Dooma. Written by Lee Pressman. Directed by Phil Ox.
