Who controls screen time at dinner time? Brothers Teddy and Percy are fed up: all they want is to watch The Simpsons with their spaghetti, but their parents say iPads are off the table! But is it fair when Mum and Dad are glued to their own phones, scrolling away? Even Grandma Sheila is called to the stand... 

Plus, when does a joke stop being funny? Mia is desperate for a straight answer to “What time is it?” But Mum Lisa can only reply with a Hamilton-inspired “It’s showtime!” With Dad now in on the act and the ‘funny’ reply spreading through the house, Mia’s had enough. Is Mum’s joy worth Mia’s frustration – or will Judge Bex mandate a full musical performance for every joke crack?

Whose side are YOU on? Should parents have to follow the same rules as kids when it comes to screens at dinner? And when do family jokes finally wear out their welcome? Connor and Lauren join Judge Bex in chambers to weigh up phone etiquette, tricksy grown-ups, surprise relatives, and households where every minute really could be showtime.
