    Sibling bounces and swimming showdowns

    Eight-year-old Lily is fed up with her younger brother Oscar constantly jumping on her! But is Lily as innocent as she claims?

    Both sides admit to being serial bouncers so Judge Bex has her work cut out to keep bouncing where it belongs... on the trampoline! 

    Meanwhile, Olivia has mastered the pool, loves diving, and just wants to be done with the lessons!

    But Mum says swimming is an essential life skill and wants Olivia to keep swimming for another year.

    Should Olivia get her wish, or is Mum right? Judge Bex weighs in. Plus, why swimming in your pajamas might be the coolest skill of all...

    Pudding rights and ponytail fights

    Jasmine brings her mum to court, outraged after being denied pudding on the last night of the family holiday! Even more devastated when a strict new "only-healthy-pudding-on-weekdays" law is announced at home.

    With shocking new evidence (Mum’s midnight Nutella confession!) and a passionate plea for more sweet treats, Judge Bex must decide: Is Mum being fair, or does Jasmine deserve dessert justice?

    Meanwhile, Thomas loves his long hair and sometimes rocks a front ponytail to keep it out of his eyes but his sister Holly and even Mum and Dad think it looks silly. 

    Is it fair for Thomas to be called out for his "silly" style, or should everyone do their own hair, their own way?

    Judge Bex weighs in with trademark wisdom (and maybe tries a new hairstyle herself).

    Parrot dancer and the LEGO thief

    Dad is feeling phone fatigue as his creative and ambitious daughter Ivy (who already has 2,000+ YouTube subscribers!) constantly commandeers his phone to record her next viral hit...

    Can Dad get a break, or should he just accept his new role as Ivy’s manager?

    Judge Bex mediates the madness, issues some firm (but fair!) phone-sharing rules, and ponders the case of the 450 parrot-dance videos clogging Dad's camera roll... 

    Then, it’s LEGO drama as Oliver accuses his dad of 'stealing' his prized Lego sets, hiding them on high shelves, and even playing with them at night!

    Dad claims he’s rescuing neglected bricks and should be hailed as 'Sir LEGO' but Oliver isn’t having it. Will Judge Bex order the LEGO to be returned? Can father and son find a truce (and perhaps a secret LEGO Narnia together)?

    Hiking dads and baking delays

    This week in Judge Bex's courtroom, two families face off over too much of a good thing!

    First up, Orla and Otty have had enough of their dad’s non-stop hiking sprees, especially when all they wanted for their Canadian birthday trip was swimming and sweets. Is dad working the family too hard, or is there room for compromise (and chocolate)?

    Then: Elena brings her dad before the court for breaking the promise of "just one second" whenever she wants to bake – only for dad to get lost in his laptop.

    Can Judge Bex balance the scales of family time, outdoor adventure, and home-baked cookies?

    The Movie Night Showdown

    Should a string of perfect spelling tests earn you the right to choose movie night? Alma thinks so but Mum has other plans, usually involving detective films and a dose of Jessica Fletcher...

    When your Friday night hangs in the balance, is “We Can Be Heroes” too much to ask? Judge Bex weighs spelling triumph against cinematic tradition and hands down a verdict.

    Meanwhile, the court faces the siblings' classic: Ria vs. Mum (and her brother!). Ria is tired of always catching the blame for spills and snack wrappers left behind.

    Is she being unfairly singled out, or are memories of past misdemeanors clouding Mum’s judgement? Maybe it’s time for a detective in this house too!

    Judge Bex unpacks the evidence, interviews both sides, and rules on who truly deserves the blame and who needs to tidy up their act.

    Football vs. Golf and the Great Reading Showdown

    Kyron says his dad promised to watch football every Saturday, but after just one game, Dad ditched the sidelines for the golf course!

    Is "practicing to be a great golf buddy" a good enough excuse? Will football reclaim its rightful Saturday slot – or is it game over for Dad's Saturday swings?

    Meanwhile, Dolly loves reading... but only when it's a book she picks! Every night, Dad makes her read a school book he won't even listen to, preferring to scroll on his phone.

    Is this justice, or just lazy parenting? Can the court come up with a solution that makes reading time more fun (and less phoney) for everyone?

    Judge Bex hands down her final riddance: no appeals, no takesies-backsies!

    Who lives in a pineapple under the sea?

    Clara brings her mum to Judge Bex’s court, desperate to stop the barrage of embarrassing pet names like Sausage, especially at the school gates where everyone can hear. Mum argues pet names are a sign of love, but Clara wants simply to be called Clara!

    Judge Bex listens carefully, considers the evidence (including a very telling birthday card!), and makes a ruling that will change how this family feels about nicknames forever.

    Plus: Should Clara get to invent a nickname for Mum in return?

    Meanwhile, nine-year-old Zachary is in court after being banned from his two favourite TV shows, SpongeBob SquarePants and Horrid Henry. According to Mum and Dad, too much screen time is making him "cheeky" and he’s copying the characters a little too closely!

    Zachary pleads his case, while Mum and Dad insist they're only trying to set boundaries. Judge Bex weighs in on screen time limits and serves up a surprising solution that just might get Mum and Dad singing the SpongeBob theme tune themselves!

    Dogs and 4 o'clock wake-ups

    Camilla desperately wants a new pet: a guinea pig, or better yet, a dog! Mum sets out her defence: dogs are a huge long-term commitment, cost a lot, and when Camilla goes to university, guess who'll be left scooping poop? (Hint: Not Camilla!)

    Meanwhile, sibling roommates Emily and William are at war over early mornings. Emily’s beauty sleep is regularly shattered by William, who’s wide awake after a doggy face-lick alarm clock. William blames the dog, Emily wants to join morning video games but not at 4 or 5am – and mum has resorted to earplugs!

    Family life isn’t always purrfect, but there’s always a way to make it work. Got a case for Bex? https://funkidslive.com/judgebex

    Alarm troubles and pocket money wars

    Charlotte says Dad's 6:20am wake-up calls are an offence against sleep – and that string of defeated alarm clocks can testify! Dad insists it’s the only way Charlotte will get up (eventually) and they need to get to school early since both parents are teachers there...

    Can a compromise be found or is Charlotte doomed to be the first one through the school gates forever?

    Meanwhile, Elsa argues £1 a week just doesn’t stretch far enough. Especially when her parents "forget" to pay up! With secondary school around the corner, she wants more money and more control... Mum claims Elsa already gets plenty of extras and that if she wants more cash, she’ll have to step up her chores.

    Will Elsa negotiate a pay rise from the Bank of Mum?

    Which side are you on? Judge Bex is ready to rule!

    The Great Snack Smuggle and the Ketchup Conundrum

    Today in the courtroom of Judge Bex, two tasty cases stand trial.

    First, Arabella takes her dad to court, accusing him of smuggling – and eating –her precious American snacks. Can Dad Chris wiggle out of the charge or will Judge Bex tax him harder than 1773?

    Then, it’s a battle of the sauces as Alistair’s love for ketchup frustrates his mum, who’s desperate to serve up healthy meals not drowned in red stuff. Is there a way for everyone to keep their cool – or at least their condiments?

    Plus: Connor and Lauren do their best to unpick Judge Bex’s meaty sentences and try to keep up with ketchup chaos.
