It is Philip's birthday, but everyone seems to have forgotten. Philip tries dropping hints, but no-one notices, until he tells them. The girls are not impressed, pointing out that he told them not to make a fuss, which Philip seems not to remember. Max, though, has given him tickets for the big match, and off he sets. The girls have a couple of hours to set up the surprise party they had planned for him, when they intend to give him their surprise present, the family's home movies transferred to DVD. They decide to watch the DVD, just to make sure it's okay, but the batteries in the DVD remote are dead, and there are no replacements. The girls are forced to wish for the remote to work, and, of course, Adil messes things up, so that the remote now controls everything it is pointed at, including, or especially, people. Philip, finding that Max has given him tickets for the wrong day, returns, and discovers the surprise party plans, but the girls use the remote to keep him from finding out about it. They also use it to make sure the preparations for the party are finished as quickly as possible. Max and Caroline turn up for the party, and Adil takes them upstairs to teach them the Balamkadaar Sand Movement Extravaganza. The remote begins to malfunction, and Philip gets ejected from the house. He eventually manages to get back home, though, and the party is a big success. Written by Bennett Arron. Directed by Phil Ox.
