Series 1, Episode 7 - On The Run

Roy faces life on the streets this week but, with few provisions and hardly any money, the cartoon boy living in the real world finds it hard to fend for himself - even with the support of his friends.

Further details

Roy's boredom on a Sunday afternoon sees him trying desperately to distract his sister, Becky, from her homework. His cartoon capers inadvertently cause a commotion in the kitchen, which prompts his frustrated mother to yell: "Get out!" Roy, however, takes this literally and thinks that he has been banished from the house for good.

When his friends, Tommy and Jack, learn of his new runaway status, they decide to make a documentary about his life on the streets. But, when Roy and his pals overhear the local bullies telling a ghost story about the red-eyed witch, spending the night camping in Tommy's garden no longer seems like such a good idea.
