Horrid Henry's School Fair (episode)

== Synopsis ==
Henry is trying to win a Double Drencher 3000 with the number 42 on his ticket for the pirate tombola at his school.
==Plot==
The episode starts with Horrid Henry and Perfect Peter playing cowboys. Henry wins by having a water pistol, but Peter doesn't. Mum comes into the house carrying the groceries, and Henry comes to help her first, putting the water pistol in Peter’s hand and ties his legs together. Mum thanks Henry, but angrily tells Peter to put the water pistol away and go to get dried off.
Henry pulls out a Double Drencher 3000, and he was happy at first then imagines blasting the girls with it, but Mum told him that it's a prize for the school fair and takes it off him and says that he has the same chance as everyone else. Henry didn't think that's fair and shouts 'It's Not Fair!’, opening the title card.
In his room, Mum wanted Henry and Peter's old games and toys for the school fair, and Henry was happy to donate his Walkie-Talkie-Burpy-Slurpy-Teasy-Weasy Doll that Great Aunt Greta gave him for Christmas thinking he's a girl after explaining he likes getting not giving but is willing to an exception for some things to the audience. 
Mum told the boys not to go in the living room for a while because she has to work out the treasure for the pirate prize. After Mum and Peter leave with their donations, Henry has a 'Eureka!' moment and says that double drencher is his. 
That night, Henry sneaks down into the living room and peeks through the treasure map for the pirate prize as Peter is seen coming down to get a glass of water. After watching his brother go back upstairs, Henry sees that the winning number is 42 on the map and says to the audience ‘Mission Accomplished!’.
The next day at the school fair, Henry goes off to find his ticket leaving Peter on his own while Mum and Dad help out with the games. Soraya tells him where the pirate prize booth is. Ralph offers Henry a bite of his candy floss, but Henry (mistakes it as being given the whole thing) runs off with it. Beefy Bert tries to catch Henry, but he pushes his arm, causing him to splat his ice cream on his face. Henry hides in a tent and finds Miss Oddbod and everyone playing pin the tail on the donkey. Miss Oddbod chose Henry to play the game, and she blindfolds him and gives him the tail, but then he pins the tail on her bottom by mistake, and he runs out.
When Henry got to the Pirate Prize booth, Miss Battle-Axe told him it's not open yet and to come back later. Then Ralph and Bert see Henry, and he runs away again. Henry was in line for the slide when he heard the pirate prize, so he hurried and slides down towards Mr Soggington. Then Henry saw everyone else in the line for the ticket number, so he comes up with a plan. First, Henry makes a deal with Ralph (who still isn't happy about the candy floss incident) by telling him the winning number for 50p. Next, he tells Andrew that the first and second prize is two bungee jumps, and he runs away. Last, Henry tells Margaret that the winning number is 42, but she didn't believe him.
Henry saw Beefy Bert with a winner number and noticed he's got it, so he makes a deal, but he realised it's 75. He saw Peter with two different tickets, turns into a hawk and chased after him. Henry makes a deal with Peter for the ticket and gives him £1, and the two brothers went to have fun. Henry throws a sponge at Miss Lovely since Peter couldn't do it until the pirate prize was about to be announced. Henry goes off, and Peter apologises to Miss Lovely.
Miss Oddbod says the winning number is 42, and Henry celebrates, although Ralph and Margaret were mad at him for lying and telling the truth. Unfortunately, Henry realised he got the raffle ticket, which means Peter has the winning pirate prize ticket, which is the Double Drencher 3000.
Later, Mum can be heard over the loudspeaker about the raffle ticket number 42, and if anyone has it, they can collect the prize. Henry rushes to the raffle booth for the prize. Mum gives Henry the prize, but when he opened the gift, he got his Walkie-Talkie-Burpy-Slurpy-Teasy-Weasy Doll back from earlier. Shocked, he yells 'AAAAAAAAAH!!', ending the episode.

== Trivia ==
* Peter is confirmed to be 6 years old in this episode as 42 in dog years is equivalent to nearly 7 in human years.
*This episode features the first time that Henry transforms. This is also the first episode when Henry transforms at school.
**His first transformation was the Horrid Hawk.
*This episode is Great Aunt Greta's first appearance, first in a flashback and later a cameo in the background.

The others are "Horrid Henry's Aquarium", "Horrid Henry Gets Rich Quick", "Horrid Henry and the Secret Club", "Horrid Henry Gets a Job", "Perfect Peter, Popstar, "Horrid Henry on TV", and Horrid Henry and the Gross Question.
*Henry's scream at the end of this episode was later put on the cover of the official annual for 2008.
*Innuendo: The scene where Henry mistakenly pins the tail on Miss Oddbod's bottom is a subtle visual pun on the phrase "pain in the a*s".
==Errors==
*When Peter brings his bags into Henry's room, if you look closely at the wall behind Peter it is pink, but in the next shot, if you look to the right, the wall is green - the usual colour. It then reverts to pink again when Mum tells them not to go in the living room.
*When Henry goes downstairs at night, first he opens the door to Peter's bedroom and looks out while in his clothes. But when it cuts to the part when he leaves his bedroom and goes downstairs, he comes out of his door and is in his pyjamas.
*When Henry is on the steps to the slide, Peter was behind him. But after the scene with the announcer, there is now a child with a green jumper with dark red hair behind him.
*Throughout most of the episode, the tickets are blank and have no numbers on them, except for a shot near the end when the raffle ticket Henry is holding has "42" on it.
*When Henry tells Peter to go away when he is talking to Bert, Peter goes down the left side but when Henry finishes talking to Bert and tells Peter to come back, he has walked to the other side.
*When Miss Battle-Axe says "Your ticket is for the raffle, not the treasure chest", her mouth movements are slightly out of sync with the dialogue.
*When Henry was singing that he had 42, the previous shot is repeated. As a result, he disappeared in the crowd of children.
== Differences from the book ==
* The opening scenes are different. The book starts with Mum asking for Henry's donations to the school fair, while the episode starts with a new scene where Henry sprays Peter with a water pistol and Mum returns home from shopping. Henry sees the Double Drencher 3000 thinking it's for him, and later realises it's a prize for the school fair. Mum then asks for Henry's donations after the title card appears.
* In the book, it is said that Mum is helping Margaret's Mum organise the fair. In the episode, she is only running the treasure map stall.
* In the book, Mum suggests Henry give away some toy bricks and Spotty Dog. In the episode, she only picks up Spotty Dog and no bricks are shown.
* In the book, Henry donates a pack of handkerchiefs, a set of vests with ducks on them, a nature guide and the Walkie-Talkie Burpy-Slurpy Teasy-Weasy doll. In the episode, he only donates the doll. Both versions end with him winning the doll back.
* The book reveals that Henry never met Great Aunt Greta, however the episode shows a flashback to Greta giving Henry the doll in person.
* In the episode, Peter gets ticket number 42 in both the treasure map and raffle competitions, since it's his age in doggy years. Henry swaps his treasure map ticket with Peter to get number 42, but Peter gives him his raffle ticket instead and Henry wins his Walkie-Talkie Burpy-Slurpy Teasy-Weasy Doll back in the raffle, while Peter ends up winning the Double Drencher in the treasure map competition. In the book, Henry gets treasure map ticket 42 and wins the treasure map prize, which turns out to be his Walkie-Talkie Burpy-Slurpy Teasy-Weasy Doll. 
* In the book, it is mentioned that Great Aunt Greta gave Peter £25 at the same time as giving Henry the doll. This isn't shown in the episode.
* In the book, Henry goes straight to the treasure map stall as soon as he arrives at the fair. In the episode, he steals Ralph's candy floss and ends up in the pin the tail on the donkey tent, before going to the pirate prize booth.
* In the book, Henry gives all the children in the queue before him the wrong winning number, while in the episode, he only gives Ralph the wrong number and instead, scares Andrew away by telling him the prize is a bungee jump and gives Margaret the right number (42), but she doesn't believe him.
* In the book, Mum runs the treasure map stall and announces the winning number. In the episode, Miss Battle-Axe runs the stall and Miss Oddbod announces the winning number, while Mum and Dad run the raffle booth.
* In the book, it is said that Henry threw wet sponges at Miss Battle-Axe in the 'Biff a Teacher' stall, joined in his class square dance, got a marble in the lucky dip and didn't even scream when Peter won a box of notelets in the raffle. In the episode, Peter tries to throw a wet sponge at Miss Lovely in the stall, but can't bring himself to do it, so Henry throws a sponge at her instead. After Henry goes, Peter apologises to Miss Lovely.
