SUPERNANNY


Wendy Agate is a single mum and lives in Littlehampton with her

three daughters. Marie aged ten, Amie aged nine and Maryanne

whos aged seven and controls the whole house with her

ferocious temper.


I want my dinner!


Maryannes like a bomb waiting to explode.

10:01:08:23Maryanne AgateYou bitch! Bitch.


Bitch!


Get off!


Maryanne rules the roost. Shes the boss.


For the last four years Wendy has been struggling to raise her

three children alone.

I love them to bits but I just cant cope with them any more.


Go away!


And Maryannes tantrums are just getting worse.


[CRYING - INAUDIBLE]

10:01:40:08 Marie Agate

Maryanne, with you life is miserable.


Shut up cow poo!


Marie and Amie do resent Maryanne big time.


She gets her own way, she tells on us, she tells lies. She just

does everything and just makes me angry.

10:01:56:02 Amie Agate

Feel lonely and upset and angry and really like Im not cared

about.

They just do not get their quality time, you know, with me.


It feels really sad because I dont have a nice family.


Maryanne makes Wendys life even harder by sneaking out of

the house several times a day.


Maryanne! Get indoors. Im not running darling, Im not chasing

you. Maryanne wait there please!


You dont even care about me!


Yes I do.


Maryanne keeps on behaving badly right through til bedtime.

No-one can sleep until shes finished her marathon tantrums.


Its not even bed time!


Yes it is! Its eight oclock. Goodnight darling.

Dont close the door!


I just dont feel like a very good mum at the moment.


Supernanny Jo Frost is Wendys last hope. With 16 years

experience shes turned around the toughest of kids. But how

will she handle seven year old Maryanne and her tyrannical grip

on the Agate family?

10:03:21:07 Jo Frost

Hello! Pleased to meet you.

10:03:23:06Wendy AgateHello.

10:03:23:09 Jo Frost

How are you?


Wendy.

10:03:24:11 Jo Frost

Jo. Hi Wendy.

Hello! Hi Marie, pleased to meet you, Im Jo-Jo. And whats

Maryanne.

10:03:34:09 Jo Frost

Hi Maryanne pleased to meet you. Jo. Whats your name?


Amie.

10:03:38:08 Jo Frost

Hi Amie, pleased to meet you. Fantastic!


As usual when Supernanny first arrives shell observe the family

without stepping in to see how the children behave. It doesnt

take long before Maryanne gives her something to think about.


Maryanne.


I want to sit outside.


Youre not sitting outside. Can you get away from the door

please? Get indoors now! Youre not going out the door.

7638Supernanny

Ow!


Get up.


Ouch! No, youre not locking that door!


Who says? Its my door!


Dont pinch me.


Minutes later Maryanne takes out her frustration on her sister

Amie.


Maryanne, stop it!


You started that fight so what do you expect?

10:04:41:15 Jo Frost

So is this common, this kind of thing goes on all the time?


Its twenty four seven. The, the fights have got so violent, theres

AgatesTX02 Script

just so much anger. Marie and Amie think theyre prisoners in

their own home.

10:04:56:20 Jo Frost

What about you?


I think the same.


Its homework time and Amie and Marie sit down to do their

reading with mum.


Then I read all signs are right


But Maryanne wants a piece of the action.


No! Maryanne! Maryanne!


I want to sit with you! I want to sit with you!


No, no, you always [10:05:19:03 INAUDIBLE - MARYANNE

TALKING OVER WENDY] Yes! No!

Well Maryannes not taking no for an answer, shes gone straight

out of the house and shes walking off, well I dont even know

where shes walking off. But theres no keeping Maryanne in the

house thats for sure.


Get here! Maryanne! Youre not funny!


Right, thats it. She just doesnt listen to me. Ive just got to the

point now I just half the time I just dont pinch me! Ive got to

a point now I just dont even follow her any more because Im

so fed up of chasing her all the time.

10:06:58:01NarratorMums at the end of her tether and its not long before she snaps.


Do what you like Maryanne because I think youre an absolute

arsehole!


Supernanny is notimpressed.

10:07:10:09 Jo Frost

Well there you have it, a parent who has totally lost control. You

do not call your child an arsehole.

10:07:20:09 Jo Frost

How bad has it got for you Wendy?


12/75

7638Supernanny

AgatesTX02 Script

12


Dont want to be here any more.

10:07:25:02 Jo Frost

What do you mean when you say that?


Dont want to be here any more. I just dont like it here any more.

Its not my idea of fun, its not my idea of family life any more.

10:07:35:24 Jo Frost

Wendy, how long has this been going on?

10:07:39:06Wendy AgateSeems like forever. I think problems started I think about four

years ago. But over the last two years theyve got really bad.

Half the time I never know where Maryanne is.


I never treated my mum like that. Didnt dare!

10:08:10:06 Jo Frost

Youre depleted arent you?


Mmm.

10:08:12:14 Jo Frost

Worn out. Had enough.


13/75

7638Supernanny

AgatesTX02 Script

13


I have had enough. I had enough a long time ago and I just kept

plodding on.


Its bedtime. Marie and Amie are ready for sleep but Maryanne

fancies a late night movie.


I want my video!


Can you get in bed please?


I want my video!


Well, youre not having it! Dont be stupid and get into bed!


Shut up. I want my video!


No, youre not!


Yes I am! No, no.

Youre not having it. Youre not!


Yes! Yes!


Youre not having them!

MARYANNE CRYING] youre a fat bitch!


Maryannes tantrums make it impossible for her sisters to sleep.Theyre tired and emotional.

10:09:22:20 Jo Frost

Whats got you so upset?


Maryanne.

10:09:26:14 Jo Frost

Maryanne?


She gets on my nerves so much and just cant take it any more.

10:09:33:10 Jo Frost

7638Supernanny

AgatesTX02 Script

15

Come here. Hey.


I want my video!

10:09:39:16 Jo Frost

What do you think that mum could do that would make it better?


I dont know. I think she needs to be harder on Maryanne than

us two.


Oh, I am having a video!

10:09:51:12 Jo Frost

Maryannes screaming, shes lost control, mums screaming at

her, theyre fighting over the plugs. What kind of a bedtime

routine is this?


Im not going to bed! No way!


Supernanny has seen enough. Tomorrow Wendy faces a few

home truths.

10:10:13:04 Jo Frost

Maryanne calls you a bitch and you call her an arsehole. Its

abuse.

And hits rock bottom.


Shes just running rings around me again.

I want my video!


Supernanny Jo Frost is on a mission to put full time mum Wendy

back in charge of her family.


Youre not going out the door!


Do what you like Maryanne because I think youre an absolute

arsehole!


Having come face to face with how bad things have got in the

family Supernanny spells out how she sees the situation.

10:12:29:21 Jo Frost

Three beautiful girls. But Wendy, wheres the mum in the

house? Wheres the authoritative figure? Youve lost control and

Maryannes behaviour towards you and her sisters is out of

control. Whats it going to be like in three years time? ASBO


19/75

AgatesTX02 Script

child Wendy. The Government are going to be knocking on your

door and giving you fines. Im appalled at the childrens

language towards you. Yet you take it.


Ive tried putting my foot down.

10:13:15:15 Jo Frost

But they learn to communicate by the woman who sets them the

example. And thats you.

10:13:24:19 Jo Frost

Just because you are their mother what gave you the right to

think that you could actually turn round and call your children the

names that you did?


I just get so angry because they call me names.

10:13:40:07 Jo Frost

So you call them names back?


Yes.

10:13:43:24 Jo Frost

Maryanne calls you a bitch and you call her an arsehole. Its

abuse.

10:13:53:12 Jo Frost


20/75

7638Supernanny

AgatesTX02 Script

20

Its got to stop right now.

10:13:56:15 Jo Frost

Because its disgusting.

10:14:01:03 Jo Frost

Theres no equal attention between the girls. Maryanne hogs all

of your time and the other two are pushed to the side.

10:14:12:04 Jo Frost

What is it with Maryanne?


She just walks all over me.

10:14:19:07 Jo Frost

Wendy, why do you allow Maryanne to walk all over you? What

is it about Maryanne?


Frightened of her.


She, she can be so nasty.

10:14:34:22 Jo Frost

And youre scared of your own daughter?


Yes.


21/75

7638Supernanny

AgatesTX02 Script

21

10:14:40:03 Jo Frost

And you know what?


What?

10:14:42:00 Jo Frost

She knows it Wendy. Youre depressed and you want to throw

the towel in.


Youre right.

10:14:56:09Jo FrostBut you know what the sad thing is Wendy, is that those girls

know that.

10:15:02:12 Jo Frost

And thats why theyre trying to get your attention. All of them.

Because in front of their eyes they are seeing you crumble. They

need you!

10:15:19:12 Jo Frost

Youre their mother.


I want to be mum. I just dont know how to do it any more.

10:15:30:10 Jo Frost


22/75

7638Supernanny

AgatesTX02 Script

22

I can say to you now that I can teach you the techniques and

give you the advice that will turn that around for you. Okay? I

believe that you actually can turn things around pretty darn

quickly!

10:15:47:16 Jo Frost

So lets get cracking!


Yes.


I want to be that person that Supernanny thinks I can be so,

thats the person I want to be. I want to be mum!


Over the next four days Supernanny will help Wendy get her

family back on track.

10:16:12:01 Jo Frost

Hello!


The first thing she wants to focus on is the lack of discipline in

the house.

10:16:16:15 Jo Frost

And this is going to be your reflection area.



23/75

7638Supernanny

AgatesTX02 Script

23

Shes giving each girl her own bean bag in a special reflection

area where they must go when they misbehave.

10:16:26:03 Jo Frost

Reflection, youll be sent here by your mum to sit and think about

why you have been placed on one of these bean bags.


It doesnt take long before Maryanne rebels against the Nanny

State.

10:16:41:23 Jo Frost

So if you could just [10:16:42:10 INAUDIBLE MARYANNE

CRYING]


Maryanne, leave the kitchen.


No!

10:16:48:20 Jo Frost

Which is to come down to her level, giver her eye contact, use a

low toned voice without shouting, and say Id like you to please

leave the kitchen.


Maryanne.

10:17:00:02 Jo Frost


24/75

7638Supernanny

AgatesTX02 Script

24

Voice! Low. Firm.


Maryanne. I would like you to leave the kitchen.


When, you wont even let me!

10:17:08:21 Jo Frost

Step back. Shes going to have to make a decision. Shes either

going to leave the kitchen or shes not.


Supernanny believes children should be given a warning and a

chance to change their behaviour.


No mummy! Mummy I want to say something to you!

10:17:22:22 Jo Frost

Stand up.


If they choose to ignore the warning, they must be taken straight

to the reflection area.


You are going to say there.. .



25/75

7638Supernanny

AgatesTX02 Script

25

No!


for seven minutes.


No! No!


Maryanne must spend seven minutes, one minute for each year

of her age reflecting on her bad behaviour.


No!


But thats the last thing she wants to do.


No!


Shes kicking and screaming out there and then she makes me

feel like Ive done something wrong.


No!

10:17:57:07 Jo Frost

In her eyes youve done something wrong.


26/75

7638Supernanny

AgatesTX02 Script

26


Yes.

10:17:59:23 Jo Frost

Youve given her a consequence.


Yes.

10:18:02:09 Jo Frost

Youve followed through.


Yes.

10:18:04:00 Jo Frost

Youve been consistent, youve made her lose control.


Mummy!

10:18:12:05 Jo Frost

Seven years old.


Yes.

10:18:15:08 Jo Frost

Needs to be stopped.


27/75

7638Supernanny

AgatesTX02 Script

27


No!


After seven minutes mum must go back and get a sincere

apology before Maryanne can be let out of the reflection area.


I want an apology.


Sorry!

10:18:31:06Jo FrostExcuse me.


Excuse me?


Sorry.

10:18:36:11 Jo Frost

That still seems like anger to me.


It, it is anger.

10:18:39:01 Jo Frost


28/75

7638Supernanny

AgatesTX02 Script

28

Yes it is, I think you come back because she obviously needs to

chill out in that area a little bit longer.


Sorry. Sorry.


This the first time that mum has ever followed through with a

discipline. It takes a long time for the message to sink in.


Please could I say sorry to my mum!


But finally Maryanne is ready to apologise.

10:19:03:00 Jo Frost

Has she calmed down? Ask her Have you calmed down?


Have you calmed down Maryanne?


Yes.

10:19:07:03 Jo Frost

Okay.


Right. Okay. Well I would like, I want an apology for not doing


29/75

7638Supernanny

AgatesTX02 Script

29

as you were told.


Sorry.


Pardon?


Sorry.

10:19:20:05 Jo Frost

Okay.

10:19:20:18Wendy AgateRight okay. Kiss. Cuddle. Can I kiss and cuddle.

10:19:28:23 Jo Frost

As much as mum felt really frightened of the behaviour of

Maryanne she felt liberated at the fact that shed been able to

follow through with the reflection area.


I feel like Im getting there because I actually followed through on

something so I feel like its one to me and none to Maryanne!


Next Supernanny wants to tackle another huge problem.

Maryannes persistent escapes from the house.


30/75

7638Supernanny

AgatesTX02 Script

30

10:19:57:20 Jo Frost

Stop! Stop, look and ask. Okay? What Im going to do is Im

going to put one of these on the front door here, okay? And one

of them is going to go on the back, and when you read that sign it

says Stop! I want you to think, look at it, and go I need to ask

mum, if you can go out.


Wendy doesnt let the girls out alone because they never come

home when she asks them to, but Supernannys convinced the

girls will start doing as theyre told if mum shows she trusts them.

10:20:36:05 Jo Frost

Watches! Well I think it would be a nice idea if the girls had the

freedom to go across the road and have some play time over atthe Park. Is that good?


Yes!

10:20:51:13 Jo Frost

This is what were going to do. Youre going to tell the girls that

they can stay out for 15 minutes. And when they come back they

will then be allowed out for some more. Okay?


Okay.

10:21:11:01 Jo Frost

Each time they can show you that they can be trusted you will


31/75

7638Supernanny

AgatesTX02 Script

31

trust them in return and let them out for some more time.


The Park is only a few yards from the house. It should be the

perfect place for the girls to play.

10:21:27:08 Jo Frost

I hope the girls are up for the idea of trust, so I hope its

something that we can develop here because it is a strong family

value that I would like to instil in this household.


True to their word all three girls return on time.

10:21:39:14Jo FrostWell done! Well done.


Well then you can go out to play again, would you like that?

10:21:49:08 [GIRLS TALKING TOGETHER]

Yes!


When? When, now?


Now!



32/75

7638Supernanny

AgatesTX02 Script

32

Yeah, were free again!


Its just amazing! Like youve given them a new lease of life, a

new toy!

10:22:10:12 Jo Frost

Trust.


Yes.


Bedtimes in the Agate house have been a nightmare for years

with Maryannes tantrums keeping the whole house up for hours.Tonight Supernanny is introducing a stay in bed technique to

break the cycle of Maryannes attention seeking behaviour.

10:22:28:24 Jo Frost

When she first comes out I want you to say to her Its bedtime

darling.


Right.

10:22:34:18 Jo Frost

Okay? The second time she comes out I want you to say

Bedtime.



33/75

7638Supernanny

AgatesTX02 Script

33

Right.

10:22:39:00 Jo Frost

And the third time she comes out I want you to say nothing okay?


Right, okay.

10:22:43:09 Jo Frost

I dont want you to reward her with communication.


As Wendy gets Amie and Marie ready for bed, Maryanne gets up

to remind them whos boss.


Maryanne, its bedtime darling.


Mum starts well but is drawn into conversation.


Ill have a look in a minute.


Its not what Supernanny wants to see.


Mum! Mum! Mum!


34/75

7638Supernanny

AgatesTX02 Script

34


Having successfully got her mums attention Maryanne comes

back for a second helping.


Wheres mine and Amies watch?


Bed! You dont need to lamp on... Bed!


Make sure you find Amies watch.


I will find it and give it to her in the morning.


One, two, three!


In!

Yes.

10:23:37:23 Jo Frost

Get her into bed, just turn the lights off.


Goodnight.

10:23:45:17 Jo Frost

What you did was Bedtime darling Bed. And then In you get,

in you get, in you get, cant find it, cant find it.


Mum!


Mum has to learn to ignore Maryannes cries for attention for the

technique to work.


Mum!


36/75

7638Supernanny

AgatesTX02 Script

36

10:24:02:01 Jo Frost

Leave it alone. Leave it alone.


Mum! Mum!


This time mum stays strong. Maryanne soon gets bored and

gives in to sleep. Its a victory!

10:24:21:19 Jo Frost

Good job! Good job! Look at you!


I know! I didnt shout!

10:24:30:08 Jo Frost

Exactly. You should be proud of yourself.


I am, very proud of myself.


Things are looking up for the Agate family as Maryannes iron

grip on the house begins to loosen.


Sorry.

Supernanny has been teaching Wendy Agate how to combat her

daughter Maryannes relentless bad behaviour.


No!

10:26:12:03 Jo Frost

Seven years old.


No!

10:26:16:01 Jo Frost

Needs to be stopped.


The next stage of the teaching is all about communication.

10:26:23:21 Jo Frost

AgatesTX02 Script

This whole household lacks communication skills. The children

dont get a chance to express themselves to mum.


Supernanny thinks she has a solution.

10:26:37:00 Jo Frost

This is a technique that Jo-Jo calls The see me, hear me

technique. Okay? And what it is, its a technique that allows you

girls to be able to get things off your chest alright?


Supernanny wants the girls to record their inner thoughts and

feelings onto a video camera, so they can start to express

themselves in a constructive way.

10:26:59:10 Jo Frost

What I want you to do is to come into this room and use this

camera because its really going to benefit you okay?

camera. Later on, Supernanny wants the whole family to review

the video footage so that mum can learn to listen to her kids and

respond to how they are feeling.

10:27:22:06 Jo Frost

If she can understand where theyre coming from she can start to

relate, this will bring them closer.


The talks are underway but the fighting continues. Mum takes

direct action.


This is mine!


Oi! Maryanne reflection area. You will be here for seven

minutes.


At last mum means business.

Right, hug, come on. Hug! Kisses. Come on.


Its a major breakthrough for Wendy.


Give us a kiss!

10:28:39:04Wendy AgateIm really proud of myself and Ill say it again!

10:28:45:10 Jo Frost

Good for you!


Its the end of the day and Supernanny rounds up the whole

family to show them the See me, hear me video diary.

10:28:54:21 Jo Frost

What Im going to do is show mummy the video because I think

mummy needs to learn, okay, to be able to listen to you girls.


First up is Marie.

[ON VIDEO TAPE]

Since Supernannys been here mum hasnt let Maryanne walk all

over her. And weve actually got some time with her.

10:29:20:01 Jo Frost

What do you think of that?


Shes ten years old and she knows that Maryannes always

walked all over me, which was quite grown up actually! Thank

you very much, that was lovely.

10:29:38:15Amie Agate[ON VIDEO]

I think everyones doing really well in the house, I think. I think

that everyone will start getting along.

10:29:47:17 Jo Frost

Amie, yet another lovely.


Yes.

10:29:51:01 Jo Frost

talk. We thank you very much for your kind words.


It was lovely.


45/75

7638Supernanny

AgatesTX02 Script

But what Maryanne has to say isnt so lovely.


[ON VIDEO]

I dont like my mum. Shes definitely horrible. Shes selfish and

horrible. She never lets me do nothing. She just tells me off.

Putting her face straight up to me and looking into my eyes and

saying I hate you.

10:30:36:20 Jo Frost

That statement was as if it had happened, has that happened in

the past?


Yes.

10:30:48:12 Jo Frost

I just want you to digest that.


Its important that mum responds to Maryanne.


Maryanne. Mummy does love you. Mummy loves you all three

exactly the same. I want a nice, good girl, give lots and lots of

kisses and cuddles to.

10:31:10:12 Jo Frost


46/75

7638Supernanny

AgatesTX02 Script

Turn around my love so you can


Turn round.


Later when the girls are asleep Supernanny takes mum to one

side.

10:31:23:19 Jo Frost

I hope youre aware as an adult that the, the damage that is

caused when you do turn around and shout names at your

children and I think you know what Im talking about. The I hate

you. Work on that.


I only did only say it a few times to her and that was, she got me

so angry, she sat there and told me she hated me so I told her I

hated her back.

10:31:46:07 Jo Frost

That was enough. Whether you said it once or you said it twice,

it was enough to make her wonder Does mummy really hate?


Yes I know. Yes.


The next day Supernanny wants to further improve the

communication in the house with some one to one time.


47/75

7638Supernanny

AgatesTX02 Script

47

10:32:03:09 Jo Frost

Its important to spend an equal amount of time with your

children, getting to know them, doing the things that theyre

interested in.


Mum must take it in turns having special time with the girls

individually so they all get equal attention.

10:32:19:13 Jo Frost

This is very crucial. This is something you should be doing as

part of your daily routine, mandatory with your three girls.

10:32:29:03Marie AgateThe one to one does make me feel better. Now Maryannes got

her time with mum and Amies got her time and Ive got my time,

to me it doesnt feel like Maryannes hogging her any more.


Guess where mummy is taking you three this afternoon?

Harbour Park!

10:32:50:01 [GIRLS TALKING TOGETHER]

Yeah!


Supernanny believes if things are to change for the better the

girls need to see mum as someone they can have fun with and

not just the person who disciplines them.


48/75

7638Supernanny

AgatesTX02 Script

48

10:33:00:07 Jo Frost

Are we going to see mum have some fun?


Yeah!

10:33:07:13 Jo Frost

This is so important for Wendy to get out with her girls and have

some fun!

10:33:16:24 Jo Frost

Its stress free the girls are having fun, mums totally chilled out

and she should be doing this on a regular basis.


It was really good to have a day out with mum. It did mean a lot

to me.


As Supernannys time with the family draws to an end the

change in the house is plain to see. Wendy shows who is the

real leader of the house.


I want an apology.

10:33:42:01

Mummy

10:34:09:08 Jo Frost

Mum was doing a really fantastic job tonight.


Night, night.

10:34:13:18 Jo Frost

Because shes put the hard work in shes changed her family and

thats what counts.


For the changes to really last Wendy needs to use the new

techniques without Supernannys help. Its time for her to go italone.

10:34:29:10 Jo Frost

Has it been a happy house?

10:34:33:19 Jo Frost

Keep strong, alright? Keep strong because you need to, alright?

You need to, I want to see optimistic Wendy.

10:34:45:21 Jo Frost

Wendy is definitely taking control of situations in this house and

shes definitely the mum and all those kids know it. But

Maryanne will test Wendy, no doubt about that.

Its a new day in the Agate house.


Dont normally put that much on there. You idiot.


And life after Supernanny gets off to a rocky start with a power

struggle over breakfast.


I asked you not to talk to me like that.


What starts out as a row over toast spirals out of control. Wendy

bundles Maryanne to the reflection area to calm down.


Do not pinch me!


Get out! [10:35:30:08 INAUDIBLE MARYANNE CRYING] No!


Maryanne completely loses the plot.


No! No!


Wendy tries to take control by force.

Theyve picked and picked and picked at one another all day.

Wendy has totally lost control.

Supernanny is due back in the morning and not a moment too

10:41:00:02 PART FOUR

10:41:00:14

TITLE:

SUPERNANNY


For the past Wendys been struggling to implement

Supernannys techniques on her own.


Ive gone several steps forward and taken six back.


Now Supernannys back to show Wendy where shes going

wrong. First on the agenda is discipline.


Dont normally put that much on there. You idiot. There! Shut

up! Shut up!

10:41:31:09 Jo Frost

You should have gone straight over to her. You should have

looked her straight in the eye and give her that low tone voice,

Do not, do not talk to me in that manner. Nip that behaviour in

the bud.


Yes.


61/75

7638Supernanny

AgatesTX02 Script

61


Youve been put up here because of your unacceptable

behaviour. You are staying here now!

10:41:54:02 Jo Frost

Thats, this is what did it for me here. You see your body

language there? I think youve got one leg on her actually!

Leaning right over her, [10:42:03:21 GROWLING SPEECH].

When youre aggressive and youre dealing with Maryanne who

loses control and becomes aggressive, you, youve got fireworks.


Yes.


Fat bitch! [10:42:19:14 INAUDIBLE MARYANNE SCREAMING]

fat cow!

10:42:27:20 Jo Frost

How does that make you feel watching that piece of footage

there?


Really bad actually. Ive learnt now that if Im aggressive towards

her then she comes back that way.


Next Supernanny shows Wendy an example of one to one time.


62/75

7638Supernanny

AgatesTX02 Script

62


Im under the table!


Maryanne go away! And you Marie.


Im staying here.


Neither am I cos you to interrupt so whats the point in doing it.


I have spent time with you Maryanne and still you two cant leave

me alone to spend time with Amie.

10:43:03:24 Jo Frost

Whose time was it?


It was Amies.

10:43:06:10 Jo Frost

And who was getting your time?


Them two.

10:43:08:22 Jo Frost

Yes. And look how they were getting it. So when you aredoing


63/75

7638Supernanny

AgatesTX02 Script

63

one on one time its important that you give the children a choice

of what else they can do, because as soon as you start

upholding that authority and making it very clear that you are

going to share yourself equally the girls will relax.


No, Im not having this tonight.

10:43:33:20

10:43:33:16

CAPTION:


Maryanne Agate



Mum, shes starting to really annoy me!


Right. Maryanne continue to annoy your sister and you will end

up in the other room, okay? Goodnight.

10:43:48:21 Jo Frost

What technique was that?


Er, the fallen to pieces technique! That day was awful!


Please mummy! [10:44:09:19 INAUDIBLE - MARYANNE

CRYING] you fat bitch!


64/75

7638Supernanny

AgatesTX02 Script

64

10:44:15:06 Jo Frost

What part of that footage did we just see thats made you feel

emotional then?


Dragging Maryanne out. I wouldnt like to go to bed you know all

angry. And thats how she went to bed.

10:44:34:05 Jo Frost

Okay. So thats important because its touched you, you know.

This has touched you in a way emotionally thats made you

recognise what you need to do to change that.


Yes, yes.

10:44:46:07 Jo Frost

Alright? And its not impossible so I think the best thing for us to

do is to get cracking as soon as possible and get this sorted.


Whats happening? Your ears.


It doesnt take long for Supernanny to get the chance to remind

Wendy how to stop stressful situations spiralling out of control.


You sat next to mummy this morning at breakfast time didnt

you?


65/75

7638Supernanny

AgatesTX02 Script

65


Well she sits next to you last.


Excuse me. Excuse me. Look at me! So, somebody else can

sit next door to me today and you can sit next to me another day.

I wont have it Maryanne.


I am sitting here.


Are you going to Marie!


Its mine!


Give it to her, thank you. Give her her [10:45:33:24

SUPERNANNY TALKING OVER WENDY]

10:45:34:08 Jo Frost

And theres your cue. And theres your cue. Shes not listening

to you..


I am!

10:45:38:24 Jo Frost


66/75

7638Supernanny

AgatesTX02 Script

66

okay. Shes turned away, youve asked her to look around,

alright and now she went to kick you. They are your cues.

Literally look at Maryanne and talk to her, shes old enough to

know. You know whats expected of you Maryanne, and you

know what behaviour your mummy doesnt want to see. Behave

yourself. Because if you do not you know that youre going to go

in that reflection area. So behave. Why let it escalate, its

necessary. Nip it in the bud. Dont let it spiral out of control.


Next Supernanny turns her attention to one to one time.

10:46:21:06 Jo Frost

Okay, remember set up with the other girls what you want them

to do okay? Theyve got the choice its up to them but whatyoure doing is having one on one time with the first daughter,

okay?


Mummy is just going to spend 20 minutes with Marie on her one

to one. Okay? Shall we go in the living room and then you two

can build a house. Okay?

10:46:46:04 Jo Frost

Okay remember mum its matter of fact, its what youre doing,

dont sound apologetic, just [10:46:50:22 INAUDIBLE] Going to

spend some time with Marie. Alright? And Im going to do and

have time with Maryanne and then Ill have time with you Amie

afterwards love. See you in a minute.


67/75

7638Supernanny

AgatesTX02 Script

67


Yes, okay.


[READING]

Watch out, watch out [10:47:02:17 INAUDIBLE] attack.


And although Amie and Maryanne keep coming into the room to

get cushions for their game They dont interrupt mum and

Marie!


[READING]

Then they start to inflate.


We need more furniture bits. Sorry!

10:47:21:03 Jo Frost

One to one time is going absolutely fantastic. I think the big

difference this time is that shes actually told the other two girls

exactly whats going to happen, so they know where theyre at

and they know when theyre getting their time. All good stuff.


Wendy is on a roll.


Make a barking mad sock dog!


68/75

7638Supernanny

AgatesTX02 Script

68


The one to one time is really, really good because I never used

to have any time with mum. It used to be all Maryannes

attention and now I get 20 minutes with mum instead of just like

one!


Things are really looking up but bedtime is Wendys biggest test.

10:47:57:02 Jo Frost

Right, were at the bedtime routine. Winding down time. We

want to create that ambience with everything being very calm..

10:48:05:05Wendy AgateYes.

10:48:05:11 Jo Frost

very peaceful. I want you to stay very calm, nobody raising

voices, losing their tempers. Okay? And then were going to

then follow through with the stay in bed technique which is when

they come out the first time


Bed time darling!

10:48:23:19 Jo Frost

The second time?



69/75

7638Supernanny

AgatesTX02 Script

69

Bedtime!

10:48:25:18 Jo Frost

And the third time?


Nothing!

10:48:28:02 Jo Frost

Okay. What was the third time?


Nothing!

10:48:31:03Jo FrostOkay!


Go on then.


[READING]

She pulled the bell rope but nothing happened.


Okay, night, night. Night, night.


The confidence and calmness Wendy is exercising seems to be

working.


70/75

7638Supernanny

AgatesTX02 Script

70


You cant put mine up.


A much calmer Maryanne makes a half-hearted attempt to get

mums attention, but Wendy sticks to the plan and ignores her.

Its the most successful bedtime they have ever had.

10:49:07:18 Jo Frost

Half past eight! All three girls in bed and you have your evening

to yourself. Get up, I want to give you a hug! Do you know that!

I am so proud of you! You have so moved things drastically,

drastically! You are a real inspiration Wendy! These are the

results of all that hard work. You know. Absolutely fantastic!


Things have improved beyond recognition since Supernanny met

Wendy and her three girls.


Take care.

10:49:46:11 Jo Frost

You take care.


Now she feels confident enough to leave Wendy to carry on

without her.


71/75

7638Supernanny

AgatesTX02 Script

71


Its not just a maybe now, its I cando this!


Im mum and I like that title and Im going to keep it!


Three weeks later and Wendy has a new image and a fresh

outlook on life.


Being honest, I didnt think anybody could change my children or

change the way things were in this house. But the change has

been just enormous and I really didnt think that was possible.


Maryanne is a different child now, she is totally different. There

is no more violence, she doesnt hit me, she doesnt pinch me.

Theres no, no more of that any more. She is just a normal

seven year old girl now which is lovely.


I feel that Maryannes changed quite a bit. I thought she was an

enemy more than a sister whereas now I think, I think of her

more as a sister than an enemy!


Marie and Amie arent just the ones that are left on the side, you

know, to get whatever attention was left. They all equally, all

three of them, get equal amount of attention now. I do think


72/75

7638Supernanny

AgatesTX02 Script

72

Supernanny has changed me as a person because before I had

no confidence to do anything and now Ive got so much

confidence its unbelievable.


Mums in charge now, none of us three are. Mum rules the

house now!


Im mum and once I got hold of that title I was planning on

keeping it.


Night, night.


And Im proud to say that I am mum because I think I deserve to

be mum now!


What Supernanny has done for me I really enjoyed and that

because shes really made our life better.


Next week Supernanny is in Essex with a household in chaos.


Shes up against five boys who wont stop fighting back.

10:52:04:00 Jo Frost

7638Supernanny

This behaviour has got to be curbed and it will be stopped right

now!


And parents who have totally lost control of their families.

10:52:10:15 Man

Get upstairs now! Up! Now!
