Still So Awkward - CBBC - BBC

Jas is excited to be playing Juliet, but is incapable of sticking to the script.

Comedy series about three socially awkward friends. Jas is excited to play Juliet in assembly, but when she gets sick Ollie tries to persuade Lily to take her part.

Lily, Martha and Jas are super-bright but socially awkward 13-year-old girls trying to make sense of life, boys and fitting in. While other girls are going to parties, netball practice and sleepovers, our inseparable trio are busy with chess club, homework and Friday nights in watching documentaries.

Jas is excited to be playing Juliet in a scene from Romeo and Juliet to be performed in a school assembly, even though she's incapable of sticking to the script and getting the lines right! When Jas gets sick, director Ollie tries to persuade Lily to take Jas's part. Lily doesn't want to steal the role from her friend, but can't resist the costume and the chance to act opposite Matt, who's playing Romeo. She's looking forward to the kissing scene!

Meanwhile, Jas has now given Martha her cold and both girls are off sick at Jas's home. Horrified at the untidy state of the house, Martha has a big spring-clean and causes upset when she washes Jas and her dad's beloved teddy bear, Mr Sicky Bear, who has never been washed before. Martha realises she shouldn't have interfered - she should have respected that they were happy with things the way they were. She makes it up to Jas and Mr Salford by painting a balcony for the Juliet scene. When Jas finds out Lily has taken her part she is bitterly upset, but pretends not to be.
