Horrid Henry and the New Teacher

Not to be confused with "Horrid Henry's New Teacher", as they both have a similar title but comes from either an episode or a book.
==Synopsis==
When the nasty Mr Nerdon takes over the class, Henry has to team up with the rest of the class to face up to his biggest challenge yet!
==Plot==
The episode starts with Mum dropping Henry and Peter off at school. Henry sees Ralph and Margaret playing football and joins them. Henry tries to get the ball, but he trips over Susan's school bag and lands in front of a man. After catching the ball, the new teacher includes himself as Mr Nerdon, who tells everyone that he'll be taking for Miss Battle-Axe until she recovers from her flu and warns Henry that he has a list of punishments just for him. Henry's classmates aren't impressed with Mr Nerdon and that he must go. Henry says that he will get rid of Mr Nerdon with help from his classmates. Henry tells Mr Nerdon to get ready and shouts, 'Here comes Henry!', opening the title card.
In class, Susan reads out her poem:
'Bow Wow,
Bow Wow,
Woof! Woof! Woof!
I'm a dog, not a cat,
So Scat.'
Mr Nerdon is displeased because of too much repetition and orders her to write the poem out 100 times. Then Brian reads out his poem:
'I want money, I want gold,
I want wealth before I'm old, 
I want coins that I can hold,
I want banknotes I can fold.'
Mr Nerdon is still displeased because of too many rhymes and tells him to write it out 300 times. Henry shoots some gum at him, only for Mr Nerdon to catch it. He then forces Henry to read out his poem. Henry reads:
'Pirates puke on stormy seas,
Giants spew on top of trees.
Kings are sick in golden loos,
Dogs throw up on Daddy's shoes.
Babies love to make a mess,
Down the front of Mum's best dress.'
Mr Nerdon stops him as Henry gets onto 'the good part'. Graham, Ralph and William say they threw up on things. Mr Nerdon, who is very displeased, says they will all stay in for detention after school. Mr Nerdon then brings them to the next lesson: Music. Henry decides to turn things up a notch by getting out a small of black dust from his desk drawers.
Mr Nerdon tells everyone to pick up the instrument in front of them. Instead, everyone plays their instrument. Mr Nerdon, displeased, decides to keep them in double detention after school is finished. Then, the class plays one at a time. Henry pores dirt into his tuba and asks Mr Nerdon for help. When Mr Nerdon looks down it, Henry blows the dirt into his face. Mr Nerdon, livid, sends him to the headmistresses office while everyone keeps playing their instruments. As Henry heads out of the hall, Ralph tells him to do something.
In Miss Oddbod's office, Henry sees Miss Lovely with Peter, who has become the school messenger. Miss Oddbod comes in with a package for Mr Nerdon. Miss Oddbod takes Miss Lovely with her and told Henry that she'll deal with him in a moment. As the teachers leave, Henry asks Peter 'when does he deliver the package'. Peter says he delivers it before lunch and goes back to class like Miss Lovely said. Henry then looks back at the package and eyes on the frog tank getting another idea.
Later in the class, Mr Nerdon sends Henry next to Margaret after being told he got triple detention from Miss Oddbod. Then, Henry and Margaret pretend that he is pulling her hair. Mr Nerdon sends him next to William. Henry and William pretend that Henry is hitting him. Mr Nerdon sends him next to Linda. Henry and Linda pretend that Henry's stealing her book. Mr Nerdon then sends him next to Brian. Henry and Brian pretend that Henry's stealing his pencil. Mr Nerdon then moves him next to Bert. Bert however, doesn't know what he's pretending to do and pushing Henry off his seat but Mr Nerdon said he didn't see anything and last lesson before lunch which is science. Henry then sits next to Ralph and tells him that he has a new plan that will work when Mr Nerdon silences them. Henry sits next to Soraya, pulls out a dungeon drink kit, shows Ralph who gives a thumbs up and says to the audience he loves science.
In science, Mr Nerdon brings out a test tube with water that was dyed with red food colouring, which makes William cry. He then adds something in it to make it normal again much the classes' shock. As Henry talks to Mr Nerdon about the whole class disappear, Ralph then pours the dungeon drink liquid in the tube, causing it to overfill. Henry then pretends to choke. Ralph then whispers to Margaret, Soraya, Bert and Al to do the same, which they did and now the remaining students copy. Peter then comes in with a package. Henry blows up a paper bag and pops it causing the package to burst open as his classmates hide behind their desks, and frogs leap all over the classroom. Mr Nerdon runs out of the classroom, screaming and thinking that they've turned to frogs much to Miss Oddbod's suspicion as she came to see them all in their desk. After watching Mr Nerdon run out of the school through the window, Ralph says that Henry did it, but Henry says, 'No, Ralph. We did it.' and they high five each other. The whole class cheers, and Henry gives a thumbs up to the audience, ending the episode.
