Elsewhere, a bemused Hadley tries to work out why all the fans seem to prefer Isaac.

Canine capers and affairs of the harp abound in the Swann household this week as the tuneful musical comedy series continues.

Hadley is smitten with Verity, a classical music loving harp player, and in order to gain her affections he passes himself off as the bad boy of harp. Will their relationship last the course when Verity finds out the truth, or does the plucky harpist have an ulterior motive for her friendship with Hadley?

Aretha, meanwhile, goes behind her parents’ backs and signs a lucrative contract to become the voice of the yappy nappy puppy. Angry that Aretha did not consult them first, Gary and Shalondra decide to get their own back. They trick Aretha into believing that she will have to perform the song dressed as a puppy in shopping centres across the country.

Hadley is played by Angus Harrison, Verity by Louise Ford, Aretha by Dominique Moore, Gary by Andrew Clover and Shalondra by Rakie Ayola.

The Swann children are delighted when Shalondra and Gary announce they are going away for the weekend – leaving them at home – as the tuneful adventures continue in this musical comedy series. Unbeknown to the excited siblings, the trip is, in fact, a ruse, and Gary and Shalondra have ensconced themselves in the recording studio so they can spy on the children via a series of strategically placed cameras. Their plan goes awry, however, when they discover they are locked in.

Fed up with Toyah obsessing about her belongings, Aretha decides to mess around with Toyah’s things but breaks her step-sister’s most treasured possession: her late mother’s bow. Hadley and Isaac have to try to keep Toyah from discovering the truth before they can mend it.

When Martha discovers her parents are locked in and have been spying on the family, the crafty eight-year-old realises that she finally has a bargaining tool to negotiate for a pet kitten.

Shalondra is played by Rakie Ayola, Gary by Andrew Clover, Toyah by Naomi Battrick, Aretha by Dominique Moore, Hadley by Angus Harrison, Isaac by Matt Morgan and Martha by Rachel Brady.

The melodious goings on at the Swann family residence continue this week with maths tests, signature perfumes and talking dolls on the song sheet, in CBBC’s musical comedy series.

Isaac is in trouble and faces being booted out of the band after getting an appalling score in his maths test, while his brother and sisters attempt to rally round and help.

Aretha, meanwhile, creates a distinct pong when trying to concoct her signature perfume and Hadley’s euphoria at having his own talking doll soon turns to disappointment when he hears what his namesake toy has to say for itself.

Elsewhere, Grandad arrives to finish his new album but lacks inspiration. When Issac tries to help his rocking grandfather rekindle his creative flair, he discovers an unusual way of solving his mathematical problems.

Isaac is played by Matt Morgan, Aretha by Dominique Moore, Hadley by Angus Harrison and Grandad by Alan Ford.
