Series 1, Episode 5 - A Matter Of Principal

It is hard to stay out of trouble when you are a cartoon and this week proves no exception for Roy, as he instigates more animated antics after a run-in with the headmaster over a confiscated computer game.

Further details

Roy's birthday is looming and he knows exactly what present his parents have bought him - a portable gaming console. He secretly opens it a few days early with the intention of rewrapping it the night before his birthday. Roy sneaks the console into school and, while completely engrossed in a game, he accidentally bumps into Mr Hammond, who swiftly confiscates it.

When Kathy dares him to retrieve it Roy takes her up on the offer. Armed with a camcorder, to record his actions, he sneaks into Mr Hammond's office. But when Roy takes longer than expected, his quick-thinking pals have to find a novel way of covering his absence in class.
