A 3D CGI animated comedy series for 6- to 11-year-olds with two piggy brothers causing havoc in TV-land. Pinky and Perky are a pair of piglets who have just been given their big break in showbiz: their own live children's television show full of crazy stunts, mad games, wild cartoons and top celebrity guests. 

Their show is loud, messy, funny and frequently out of control, which makes it very unpopular with the old guard of the TV station. One way or another, they're going to get those pesky pigs off the air! 

When an actor who plays a boy wizard appears on the show, Pinky believes he has real magical powers! Pinky is bursting with excitement at the thought of meeting boy wizard Harry Trotter, who is the special guest on the Pinky and Perky Show. But Pinky quickly learns Harry no longer wants to be seen as a child magician and wants to be treated as a serious actor instead. 

However, Pinky is convinced that Harry is a real wizard and can teach him magic, and is very excited when he discovers his idol's 'magic wand' at reception. Vera and Eric don't help the situation when they trick Pinky into believing that he can do magic and he is determined to attempt his magical powers on air. Meanwhile, Harry is learning that growing up isn't as easy as he thought and once the smoke clears, Pinky comes to understand that magic doesn't exist after all - or does it?

Gaynor Jacks has come home. Home to Coventry, home to her mum and dad's house, home to the three best friends who called her mad for ever leaving. At 17 she ran off to find her place in the big wide world, but now she's back - at 29 - with her tail between her legs and not so much as a starter home to show for her troubles.

Gaynor can't hide forever in her tiny time-capsule bedroom with its Trainspotting poster peeling above the single bed and Wonderwall still paused on the CD player. She must crawl back into the life she left behind, suffering the gleeful sympathy of her friends and ill-judged parental intrusions, all played out in front of old flames and adversaries she thought she'd never see again, and underscored by smirking cries of 'See you're back then'.

While Gaynor summons up the courage to run off again, Kelly is the first of the girls to turn 30. Rather than leave her pal in her time of need, Gaynor mucks in with a budget luxury spa day and a night on the town.
