Judge Bex

Coffee burps and the missing art lesson

It's a heatwave outside the Judge Bex chambers, and court reporters Lauren and Connor are just hoping the air conditioning holds up for two brand new cases...First up, Abigail is taking her mum to court over a serious coffee problem. Two coffees go in every morning, the burps come out, and Abigail says her mum never once apologises. Mum arrives with a defence built on science, claiming it's just her stomach letting out a bit of air, and that it's surely better out of the top than the bottom. But then there's the small matter of the 90s singing... will Judge Bex side with Abigail, or will Mum get to keep both her coffees?Then, Ivy says her big sister Georgia promised her an art lesson six whole months ago and still hasn't delivered. Georgia reckons she has a very good excuse: A levels, a job, and hardly any sleep. Ivy just wants some help drawing flowers for her school landscape. Can Judge Bex find a judgment that gets everybody painting?Plus, Lauren reads one law book and decides she's ready to take on Judge Bex herself. It does not go well.Got a case you need Judge Bex's help with?

Storytime hogger and early bedtime

Kieran and Liam haul their little brother Kumi into court over his obsession with Kid Time Storytime, a puppet show he begs for morning, noon and night. Kieran has even drawn up a roster so everyone gets a fair turn to pick, but Kumi picks his show every single time, and when he doesn’t get his way, out come the very long, very loud tantrums... Can the brothers win back a share of the listening? And wait until you hear Kumi’s own story about a witch, a pterodactyl and a stolen pair of pants! Then nine-year-old Darcy takes her mum to court over bedtime. Darcy is sent up at half past six, the same time as her two-year-old cousin AJ, and doesn’t wake up until seven the next morning. Mum reckons she’d send her up even earlier, and starts talking rather fondly about Victorian children being seen and not heard... Judge Bex has done her research on how much sleep a nine-year-old actually needs. Is Mum about to lose this one? Got a case you need Judge Bex’s help with?

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?Support the show: https://funkidslive.com/plusSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.
