It is a dark and stormy night......Nanny Sue is trying to get rid of Stephanie, Ewen and Baby Thomas so she can settle down to watch Star-Maker, her favourite TV programme. Nanny Sue's got ambitions to be a pop star, more fool her.Then comes a banging on the door. It's loud enough to wake the dead. "It's the Bogeyman, come to get you!" shrieks Nanny Sue. (She's good with kids.)But it is far worse than that. It is Granny Nothing, looking like a rhinoceros in a frock, dripping wet and complaining about her feet. And from this point on, things in the McAllister household will never be the same again...Anyone for a worm sandwich?
