This is the story of Bridget and Annie, who share a flat in London,

and the boys next door, Nick and his friend Hector from Argentina.

Bridget has a job with Channel 9

and so does Hector, he's a reporter.

Annie just wants to save the animals

and Nick... Well, Nick is Nick.

Stand by for Extra.

What?

- Nick! - Who is it?

It's me. Annie.

And this is Ziggy.

- Is Hector there? - No.

- He's working tonight. - Then you must help us, Nick.

Take these.

They are my babies, so look after them, please!

Sure, no problem.

Right. Ready, Ziggy?

Come on, let's go.

Hurry!

Yes, three o'clock. Tell the others.

Bye.

'Animals are human?'

Annie, animals are animals.

- But animals are like people. - Really, Annie?

Look at this flat. How can I get ready?

- Sorry, Bridget. - I have a very important day today.

- Sorry. - I have big, big decisions to make.

Like...which dress.

What do you think?

They're both nice.

I have such a busy morning.

David Beckham, Madonna.

What? You're meeting them?

No, I'm reading about them

and then I'm having lunch with guess who.

Yes, you've guessed it.

Leonardo DiCaprio!

Leonardo and me!

Wow! Leonardo DiCaprio?

Just you and him?

Well, nearly.

There'll be 45 journalists there too

but really it's just me and gorgeous Leo.

You and 45 others?

I see.

Anyway, this cosmetic factory experiments on animals for make- up

and I really feel...

Good, Hector, you're here. Now you can help me choose.

You're back, Hector.

Was it a difficult night at work, snuggly puppykins?

Yes, and the bad news is that Eunice wants me to go straight back.

Why?

There is a big news story happening today.

So, Hector,

which dress do you like the best?

This one.

- You're sure? - OK, that one.

But you just said this one first.

Yes, I know, but...

Bridget, I am going to Channel 9 now.

- Are you coming? - Yes, Hector.

And I can tell you all about Leonardo and me!

The guinea pigs!

Nick?

Good. They're OK.

I'm coming.

Ziggy, come in.

Right, now, there are the posters.

Now, a note for Nick.

Ready, Ziggy?

Bye, Charley. Wish us luck.

Wait a minute, Ziggy.

OK, right, let's go.

Wish us luck.

Yes, three o'clock. Tell the others.

Bye.

Leonardo and me!

Wow!

Leonardo DiCaprio?

I have big, big decisions to make.

Which dress?

Hector. At last.

I want you to go straight to Garrier's cosmetic factory.

Why?

Because some horrid hippies are protesting there.

Why?

Because they think Mr Garrier experiments on guinea pigs for make- up.

This is nonsense.

Guinea pigs?

You know,

guinea pigs.

Guinea pigs! How sweet.

And these hippies have stolen his guinea pigs.

Poor Mr Garrier adores his little guinea pigs.

He wants them back.

He told me over dinner last night.

Who is Mr Garrier?

Mr Garrier owns Channel 9.

And Mr Garrier has said

we must make these protesters look very, very stupid.

Now get going!

OK, Eunice.

I want their heads!

Eunice?

Yes, Bridget?

Is there anything I can do?

Yes.

I have a very important job for you.

Get me a coffee. Black, no sugar.

No, Bridget.

I can't, I'm a married man.

What?

Crazy, man!

Guinea pigs!

They are my babies, so look after them, please.

Yeah, sure, no problem.

Yeah.

Annie.

Annie!

OK, my little beauties.

Time for breakfast.

Come on.

'Nick, very important. Keep my babies safe. I will call you. Annie.'

Does she think I'm stupid?

Of course you're safe with me.

Now, let me introduce myself.

My name is Nick.

Yeah, hello there.

Now, what's your name?

Kevin? How do you do, Kevin?

And who's this?

Janice?

Is she your girlfriend, Kevin?

OK, it's not that funny.

Janice, I think you're very pretty, OK?

So!

These are all your friends.

Wow!

There are eight of you.

You must be hungry.

Shall Uncle Nick get you something nice to eat?

OK.

Have they split up?

Hollywood's most beautiful couple.

Yes!

Yes!

Garrier out! Garrier out!

All right, Eunice, I cannot hear you.

I said,

find the leader.
