Horrid Henry and the Silly Siblings

== Synopsis ==
Dad's brother, Fussy Uncle Francis, visits and it's not long before the two brothers are trying to outdo each other and relive their childhoods.
==Plot==
The episode starts with Mum washing the dishes in the kitchen, Dad reading a newspaper, and Peter across him eating bread. Henry comes into the kitchen, excited to open a new pack of Sweet Tweets. Peter tells Henry that he doesn't eat them and that Henry will be the one opening them. Henry interrupts Peter and tells him that everyone knows what 'wormy worms' eat. Henry opens the pack, only to find that it has already been opened. Henry says that it means someone already opened it. Dad coughs, meaning that it was probably him. Peter dismisses that with a 'so', resulting in Henry lashing out at him and then Mum tells Henry not to be horrid and that they are just Sweet Tweets. Henry says that they are 'not just Sweet Tweets' and reveals to Mum that he was just after the last Gross Class Zero free toy that was included inside, as he has been collecting them for months. Dad then leaves to brush his teeth (this may have been a lie to get away from the arguing) turns out the Evil Emperor toy wasn't there as Henry keeps looking while making a mess on the table. (Henry thinks Peter may have taken it as he let out a smirk.) but Mum tells Henry that Peter hasn’t got and to tidy up then eats his breakfast before Uncle Francis visits later on for lunch. After Peter says he’ll tidy up his number gnomes, Mum tells Henry once again to eat, tidy and pick up the stuff from the floor. Henry screams 'Noooo!!!', opening the title card.
Henry is in his room, complaining to the audience about someone stealing his Evil Emperor toy and then having to tidy his room making this not a good start to day. Mum comes in to force Henry who sighs to tidy and starts counting from 10 to 0. Henry takes all his stuff and puts them in his Wardrobe. Mum didn't seem to notice. The bell then rings, and Henry presumes that it's Uncle Francis and says to the audience that he is more Fussy than Mum and Dad claiming that’s saying something. Which is why Henry gave him the nickname 'Fussy Uncle Francis'.
Dad answers the door to Uncle Francis, who then says that he is not sure if Dad expected him, and then says that he wrote to him three weeks ago and followed that up with 2 Emails and 3 phone calls. Dad interrupts Francis and said that they were expecting him. Francis keeps going on by saying that he meant phone messages, not phone calls because Dad apparently doesn't answer the phone. Dad once again interrupts him by saying that he did expect him. Mum welcomes Francis inside, followed by a kiss and Francis gives them a present. Dad and Francis then argue over who goes in front, resulting in Mum going first. They argue again over who goes into the kitchen first until Dad goes second and Francis last. Henry comes down, eats some of the chocolates, explains to the audience about Dad not liking his little brother very much and thinks it's going to be a long day. 
Dad, Henry, Peter, and Francis are playing a board game. Mum then suggests a Barbecue for lunch if the sun is coming out. Henry then goes under the table and claims to be looking for the Evil Emperor toy that Peter 'stole', and then decides to tie Dad's shoe laces together. Dad accuses Francis of cheating. And then gets up off his chair and tries to balance on Mum, who was holding a plate of snacks, resulting in Dad falling and then the plate falling on his head. Mum opens the door and suggests to start the Barbecue. As Peter and Francis head outside, Dad sees that his shoes were tied together thinking his brother did it, resulting in Henry chuckling. Dad and Francis argue over who gets to use the Barbecue grill and start fighting over the plate of sausages, Francis releases his hands from the plate which results in the plate and sausages falling over, some of the sausages end up on Dad's head, and some end up on the grill. It then starts to lash rain but Francis already brings out his own umbrella. Mum tells Henry to bring the umbrella to Dad. Francis then comes over with Peter and offers them 'Perfectly cooked' sausages, which Dad rejects. Francis sees a Gross Class Zero poster and then asks whose the fan. Henry says that he is. Francis reveals that he is a fan of Gross Class Zero and collected all the toys (except for the Evil Emperor toy) when he was a boy. Dad interrupts them and asks if they want to climb a tree, but Francis doesn't really want to. Dad calls him a scaredy cat and claims to be better than Francis at climbing trees, so Francis then starts to compete with Dad on who is better. They both get stuck near the top briefly. Francis lets go of the Branch and falls off, and Dad gets launched all the way over to the Purple Hand Gang flag. Dad claims that he won, resulting in Francis throwing a temper tantrum.
Dad opens the door to let Francis out and waves everyone goodbye. Henry, Peter, and Mum wave back. Dad reveals that he has the Evil Emperor toy that Henry and Francis couldn't get. Francis says that it doesn't bother him, and he calls him 'Silly Simon' while he was leaving, resulting in Dad getting angry and saying he hates when he is called that. Henry realises that 'Silly Simon' was Dad's childhood nickname. Mum and Henry tell him that he should stop behaving like a kid and that he should get on with Francis. Henry answers the phone to Rich-Aunt Ruby, and Mum gives her a childish response. Henry then says 'Grown ups eh, who would have them?' and winks to the audience, ending the episode.
