Judge Bex

Camilla desperately wants a new pet: a guinea pig, or better yet, a dog! Mum sets out her defence: dogs are a huge long-term commitment, cost a lot, and when Camilla goes to university, guess who'll be left scooping poop? (Hint: Not Camilla!)

Meanwhile, sibling roommates Emily and William are at war over early mornings. Emily’s beauty sleep is regularly shattered by William, who’s wide awake after a doggy face-lick alar...

Charlotte says Dad's 6:20am wake-up calls are an offence against sleep – and that string of defeated alarm clocks can testify! Dad insists it’s the only way Charlotte will get up (eventually) and they need to get to school early since both parents are teachers there...

Can a compromise be found or is Charlotte doomed to be the first one through the school gates forever?

Meanwhile, Elsa argues £1 a week just d...

Today in the courtroom of Judge Bex, two tasty cases stand trial.

First, Arabella takes her dad to court, accusing him of smuggling – and eating –her precious American snacks. Can Dad Chris wiggle out of the charge or will Judge Bex tax him harder than 1773?

Then, it’s a battle of the sauces as Alistair’s love for ketchup frustrates his mum, who’s desperate to serve up healthy meals not drowned in...

Ruby loves having friends over but something stinks in her bedroom and it’s not her five innocent pet rats! Whenever her BFF visits, mum "drops a gift" and tries to blame the fallout on Ruby’s furry companions...

Can Ruby air her grievances and finally get a confession from Mum? Will the nose witnesses sway Judge Bex? How does a hamster survive such hazardous conditions?

Meanwhile, it's dinner time and Isla's house is f...

Sisters Sophia and Sienna make their case against Mum for an extra few precious minutes awake before lights-out. All their friends get to stay up later... Is it time for a bedtime extension?

But Mum’s armed with a bulletproof routine and concerns about morning moodiness. Can they persuade Judge Bex to make Mum budge for a Friday or Saturday treat?

Meanwhile, sibling duo Frederick and Florence charge their dad with the heinous...

Do Ethan and Marcus do too much around the house while mum and dad relax – or is there more to the story? From filling water bottles and feeding the cat, to tackling the most boring task of all (the dishwasher), the boys say the list never ends! Mum Claire and Dad Alex argue back, but Judge Bex has a twist in store: a star chart for the parents, proof of chores, and extra screen time for completed tasks. 

Meanwhile,...

Sean has had enough! Every time he wins, receives, or buys treats like marshmallows and Toblerone, Dad just can’t resist. Is it a harmless household sharing culture, or a serious case of snack theft? Dad Adrian says he just couldn’t help it but Sean wants justice… and his chocolate back.

Meanwhile, Billy just wants to hang out and play Pokémon with his big brother Alexander – but Alexander would rath...

Baird is frustrated – his parents have been to lots of places, but he’s only ever been to London. Dad  says many trips were before Baird was born. What can be done? Turns out, even a Holiday Inn sounds fun! 

Meanwhile, Sisters Elsie and Isabel are at odds. Elsie is a prolific letter-writer, sliding up to 100 notes under Isabel’s door, despite their rooms being three meters apart! Isabel’s...

Stefano doesn’t appreciate his mum Francesca’s jokes and wants them to stop. Francesca claims her humour is genetic and can’t help making cracks about lamb at Easter... Judge Bex prescribes a household stand-up comedy competition with the fate of joke-telling hanging in the balance. 

Meanwhile. Tess’s desk is an alleged disaster zone, but she claims it’s organised chaos. Mum insists on tidiness, b...

Joseph and Milo are two brothers at odds over their shared LEGO collection. Joseph’s been working for months on a giant LEGO city using ALL the train tracks and road pieces. Milo wants to start building his own epic railway in his bedroom but he can’t get the tracks back... Whose lego is it anyway? 

Meanwhile, Holly wants her well-earned weekend lie-ins, but Dad never feeds the family dog first thing meaning it&rsq...

It's battle of the video games as we dive into two real-life family feuds about screen time and accusations of sneaky Sims sabotage! From Minecraft marathons to secret Sim babies, Judge Bex is ruling on the toughest cases brought by families who can’t agree about gaming and YouTube habits.

In the first, Willow is obsessed with watching Minecraft on YouTube, but Mum wants some peace and quiet from the high-pitched voices. The ...

Aoife is at her wit’s end. Not only is she forced to tidy up after her one-year-old brother Lockie, but she’s also on pants and socks patrol for her messy Dad, Ben. Dad claims to be tidy but brother Baird drops some bombshell confessions. 

Meanwhile, Hazel brings Mum Caitlin to the court for a truly gas-tly offence: non-stop farting at the table, even on Christmas! Caitlin claims it’s natural as Judge Bex div...

Who controls screen time at dinner time? Brothers Teddy and Percy are fed up: all they want is to watch The Simpsons with their spaghetti, but their parents say iPads are off the table!

Plus, when does a joke stop being funny? Mia is desperate for a straight answer to “What time is it?” But ...
