Episode 5: Being Yourself

ROY - CBBC - BBC

Roy learns that we all have quirks that we would like to change and that nobody's perfect.

Roy looks back at events from his life so far. Roy explores the amusing ways he and his family have tried to act differently and pretend to be someone they are not.

In this chapter of his scrapbook, Roy discusses why it is important to be yourself and not pretend to be someone you're not! Roy explores the amusing ways he and his family have tried to act differently by trying to impress other people. Roy remembers Maura putting on airs and graces to impress her book club members and how Becky tried extra hard to fit in with the 'cool' gang at school. Both attempts failed because of one thing - they just weren't being themselves. As a cartoon boy, Roy knows first hand what it's like not to be the same as everyone else and the temptation to act differently in order to fit in. However, after a photocopied Roy imposter (Roy 2.0)  joins his family, Roy can do nothing but be 100 per cent himself to convince his family that he is the original, one and only Roy! Roy learns that we all have quirks that we'd sometimes like to change but nobody's perfect and who'd want to be perfect anyway? Roy's point is simple, just be yourself!
