Hope comes to say hello with her Mum, Dad and best pals Jay and Benson...

'Sorry Hope, did you say something?' ... 'Aw Mum, I don't want to have me piccy taken.'

Okay! Okay! How's this?

'Cor this takes me back Gins, Just like old times eh?' ... 'Makes a difference when you have a performer like Porter though. It's all down to the training me thinks. Being firm, contistant and making it fun and this is where Carole gets the mixture just right with The Boys!'

'Now you behave yourselves chaps, just while we have our piccy taken for the family album.' ... 'Okay Wilson, you're the boss.'

'Hey look at me Dad, I can still do it.' ... 'You be careful up there boys.' ... 'Cor this is great, I love it when we can play, worth all the hard work!' ... 'You betcha Travis.'

Don't cry Ma, it's only a film ya know and I'm here to protect ya.

Hey Ruby, clever or what ... 'Yeah I know, me Ma & Pa fall for it every time. Well what I always say is if you got it flaunt it and come on tell me, who could resist such charms?!'

'If they could see me now, those little friends of mine, eatin' home made stew and feelin  pretty fine'... 'Okay, okay Bently, you look every bit the super star, but leave the singing to the soapstars!'

'What's with the glove then Bentley?'... 'Oh, er, I er, got it for you ma, thought you might need it 'cos it's cold outside'... 'That's a good one Boo, two minutes and I'll get your lead'... 'YES!!!'

'Hey kitty, when they said I was tasty, they didn't mean that kinda tasty'... 'yeah I know Travis, but you seen what they been giving me for dinner? A girl needs more than a bit o' milk to grow up big and strong on.'

'Oh I'm dog tired now Travis' ... 'Now that is funny kitty. Come on babes, you stay cuddled up to me and we'll have a little kip okay?'... 'I'm with you there Daddyo'

Now that's what we call a family portrait! Oh Boys don't you look handsome.... 'Now stop it, stop it. This is very serious don't you know and one just cannot afford to laugh. Timing is critical chum, as any performing artist will tell you.' 

'Oh go on Dad, let me go, just one more time, I promise I wont splash but can't guarantee about not having a lovely big shake after me dip.'... 'This is your last time then Ruby. Now then, you'll be a good girl wont you?'... 'Awww come on Dad, aren't I always?!'

'The name's Bjorn, just Bjorn and forget the Martini shaken not stirred, a little soupcon of any delicacy will be just fine'.... 'You've been told before mately, you're watching too much telly and it's going to your head'

'Oooowww Ahhhhhh chicken, that's me favourite old mate'... 'Come on Jake let go, I gotta get it back before mum finds out'... 'Hey wait a bit, I've only just started and it tastes rubbery!' 

'You've had the suave and now it's time for the sultry'... ' Bjorn with a look like that, you will get just about anything your heart desires!' 

 'Hey Mum, we've been really good today, so do you think that when you've finished the digging, we might go for a run?'... 'It was the very next thing on my list Bjorn, give me 5 minutes to finish off and we can go'............... 'd'ya here that mate, I got it sorted'........... you got the touch me old son, you got the touch'

The day Gellert and his Mum came to call... WooHoo... thanks for bringing me back for a visit Mum, this is great fun, just like old times.

Travis, with the smouldering good looks, the sophistication, the flower and the only 2 things missing are the Milk Tray and the girl!

Bentley with his new big brother Milo... 'come on there little buddy, you can do it, you just gotta pull a bit harder'.... 'Yeah I know, I know, but I'm pullin' real hard, honest I am'

Hey Murphy, smile at the birdie? What do ya mean smile?.......... this is what I call my smouldering look.

Ruby you should be fast asleep, "yeah.... but, but..... has he been yet and where's my stocking eh? I put it just there, just there I said"
