Messy barrister and the chocolate thief
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.

Judge Bex is HATED
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?

Dog in the dock and a bedtime lighting battle
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.

Screen time on trial
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? Got a case you need Judge Bex's help with? Get to funkidslive.com/judgebex right now and let her know!

Pocket money and banana ceilings
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. Got a case you need Judge Bex's help with?

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?

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...

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!

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...

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!
