Series 1, Episode 2 - Little Orphan Alesha

Mr Brilliance's assistant Ollie secures Trexx and Flipside a live TV slot on Big-Up TV, and B-Ice isn't happy. For the boys, it couldn't be easier - babysit Ollie's sister for a few hours while she sets everything up, and turn up for the cameras. The one problem is that B-Ice's girl Chinaza has a plan to stop the TV debut.

Ollie sets up a breakthrough TV appearance for Trexx and Flip and all they have to do is get there on time. Sounds easy enough but, as Ollie rushes to get everything ready, Trexx and Flip are unwillingly roped in to babysitting her sister, l'il Alesha.

Meanwhile, B-Ice and his posse get wind of the TV gig and hatch a plan to sabotage it. Rap-gangsta 'moll' Chinaza sends two hotties round to divert the boys' attention which, to be honest, doesn't take much. Armed with a packet of additive-filled sweets, they send Alesha into E-number-fuelled hyperdrive.

So who will step into the TV breach when it looks as if Trexx and Flip won't make it? Meet the boys' best friend ... the ABBA-loving Clinton.
