It's a heatwave outside the Judge Bex chambers, and court reporters Lauren and Connor are just hoping the air conditioning holds up for two brand new cases...

First up, Abigail is taking her mum to court over a serious coffee problem. Two coffees go in every morning, the burps come out, and Abigail says her mum never once apologises. Mum arrives with a defence built on science, claiming it's just her stomach letting out a bit of air, and that it's surely better out of the top than the bottom. But then there's the small matter of the 90s singing... will Judge Bex side with Abigail, or will Mum get to keep both her coffees?

Then, Ivy says her big sister Georgia promised her an art lesson six whole months ago and still hasn't delivered. Georgia reckons she has a very good excuse: A levels, a job, and hardly any sleep. Ivy just wants some help drawing flowers for her school landscape. Can Judge Bex find a judgment that gets everybody painting?

Plus, Lauren reads one law book and decides she's ready to take on Judge Bex herself. It does not go well.

Kiran and Liam haul Kumi into court over his obsession with Kid Time Storytime, a puppet show they beg for morning, noon and night. Kiran has even drawn up a roster so everyone gets a fair turn to pick, but Kumi picks their show every single time, and when they don't get their way, out come the very long, very loud tantrums...

Can they win back a share of the listening? And wait until you hear Kumi’s own story about a witch, a pterodactyl and a stolen pair of pants!

Then nine-year-old Darcy takes her mum to court over bedtime. Darcy is sent up at half past six, the same time as her two-year-old cousin AJ, and doesn’t wake up until seven the next morning. Mum reckons she’d send her up even earlier, and starts talking rather fondly about Victorian children being seen and not heard...

Judge Bex has done her research on how much sleep a nine-year-old actually needs. Is Mum about to lose this one?

Court is in session and Judge Bex is up against her toughest opponent yet: a real-life barrister!

Bonnie takes her dad to court over a serious double standard. He tells her to keep her room tidy while his own room is a dumping ground and he’s always on his bowling game, even though Bonnie isn’t allowed any mobile devices at all.

Dad’s defence falls apart the moment he starts listing his clutter, because half of it turns out to be presents Bonnie gave him...

Then Nathaniel accuses his dad of using chocolate as leverage. Ten minutes of violin practice earns a point, points earn chocolate, but he only gets to eat it once a week!

Meanwhile Dad is on the sofa eating chocolate right in front of him and raiding the cooking chocolate too. His excuse? He’s protecting Nathaniel’s young teeth. Judge Bex is not convinced.

Matty might just be the busiest kid in the country: French horn lessons, wind band, Brownies where she's a Kelpie and a sixer, sewing club, chess, dance, LEGO club, Eco Council... the list goes on and on. 

The problem? Mum will only let her press play on Judge Bex the day before the next episode drops, because the new episodes are far too exciting for bedtime and keep Matty wide awake! With five episodes now stacking up unlistened, can Judge Bex find a fair verdict, especially once Matty's brother Ollie boldly claims he HATES the show?

Then, Poppy vs Mum, where the charge is mortifying "mum dancing" every single time Fun Kids comes on, particularly in front of Poppy's friends out in the garden.

Mum pleads guilty to embarrassing her daughter on purpose because the reaction is just too good... but is a good old kitchen disco really a crime?

Sisters Tamara and Lolly share a bedroom but can't agree on the lights. Tamara needs total darkness to fall asleep; Lolly loves the warm glow of a Himalayan salt lamp — which, in a shock twist, actually belongs to their brother Zach, who bought it for his asthma years ago. 

With Mum called as a witness, can Judge Bex find a ruling that keeps everyone happy? 

Meanwhile, there's a dog in the dock! Sari puts the family dog Nala — a nine-month-old black labradoodle with very sharp teeth — on trial for chewing up Mum's beloved cashmere chair.

But with Dad the only one home when the crime took place, the finger of blame starts swinging his way... Will Nala walk free? Connor has one rule: never, ever blame the dog.

Maya's fed up. Every time she's told to put her screen down and go read or draw, her dad's sitting right beside her... scrolling through Instagram! Is that fair? It's a classic case of "do as I say, not as I do" and Judge Bex is not impressed.

Then it's Thomas versus Mum. Thomas has saved up his own money and he's desperate to buy an XBOX but Mum reckons it's the first step to becoming a "tech monster," and worries the console is just the start of a very long (and very expensive) list. Can Thomas prove he can be trusted, or will Mum win the day?

Josie and Margot take their dad to court over his controversial rule: anyone out of bed before 7am on weekends owes him £1. The girls say the “parenting policy” is deeply unfair (and possibly a scam, since their pocket money source has dried up!). Dad claims it’s all about sleep, health, and keeping the morning farts contained to individual beds!

Judge Bex investigates inconsistencies in the payout structure, demands a proper ledger for fairness, and rules on a new wake-up time. 

Meanwhile, Mackenzie accuses her brother Callum of using a spy pen to write "banana" on his own ceiling – then blaming her. Callum insists Mackenzie’s handwriting is all over this fruity crime and provides a detailed forensics account of bunk beds and spy pens. With both presenting evidence (and some top-notch sibling rivalry), Judge Bex sifts through the stories and the handwriting samples to find the truth.

Molly’s sick of being called Pooper Scooper, Puppy Dog Pie, and a host of other silly nicknames by her mum. She loves her real name, so she’s come to Judge Bex to ask for her identity back. Will Judge Bex rule in favour of Molly and which nickname will be officially banned from the house?

Meanwhile, siblings Niamh and Ria are at odds over who gets to play their Nintendo Switch. Was it a solo gift or meant to be shared? The twist: Santa’s written instructions and some sneaky switch sessions. Judge Bex has the final word!

Young Emma brings her dad to justice for consistently blaming his very suspiciously large farts on her and her little sister. With the whole family as witnesses and plenty of "overwhelming evidence," can Dad wriggle out of trouble, or will Judge Bex finally bring order (and maybe some fresh air) to the home?

Meanwhile, Charlie wants a pet lizard and claims it'll help with an ongoing fly problem (especially during jam on toast time). His secret weapon? Super-cool Nana, who’s all in for team lizard, even if she won’t be the one cleaning the cage. But with mum and dad saying a firm "no" to all pets, can Judge Bex find a compromise?

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...

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).
