Teacher Adil Genie in the House : Season 1 Episode 6

Sophie is struggling with her prize acceptance speech, but neither Adil or her father seem interested in helping. Emma is grumpy because she has a boring history lesson with the boring Mr. Hull. Adil gives Emma his version of the story of the French Revolution, which is far more interesting than Mr. Hull's boring version, and Emma rashly wishes that Adil were her teacher and not Mr. Hull. Sophie wishes that her father would listen to every word she utters. At school, Emma is surprised and embarrassed to find that she has a new teacher, while Sophie is embarrassed to find that her father has followed her to school to act on her every word, and she has to take him home to get Adil to reverse the wish. But Adil is back at school, and enthralling Emma's class with his story of the French Revolution, although he has to make his escape when the headmaster finds out he's not a qualified teacher. Emma and Adil return home, only to find a livid Mr. Hull is now the genie, and Adil is no longer "a brilliantly talented genie." Only the dull Mr. Hull can sort things out. With Hannah Tointon as Annabelle Scott, Philip Fox as Mr. Preston, Richard Freeman as Mr. Hull. Written by Arnold Widdowson. Directed by Phil Ox.
