Today we welcome Francesca Simon to the show, the creator of Horrid Henry. 20 million copies sold worldwide! This woman knows her audience and they love her. And her dad is screenwriter Mayo Simon-everytime any of her dad's work appears on TV I get told I stole my name. Which is not true obviously. Anyway we can do HORRID HITS I think, songs with horrible behaviour and see what happens.
