List of Round the Twist episodes
The following is a list of episodes of the Australian children's television series, Round the Twist. Between April 4, 1989 and May 2, 2001 there have been 52 episodes produced, spanning 4 seasons.
The Twist Family move into the seaside town of Port Niranda where they have just bought the lighthouse. Bronson is busting to go to the toilet and is shocked to find that a ghost is haunting the outhouse. The three Twist children set out to find out what the ghost wants.
When Nell shows up raving about a dragon, the Gribble family plan to keep her in hospital until her house and land with its unpaid mortgage is repossessed and falls into their hands. As Bronson tries to prove the dragon is real, Pete and Linda go to Seagull Shack to find Nell's lost rubies to pay off her mortgage with – but then the seagulls attack with their volleys of droppings.
Starting at their new school, Pete and Linda are forced by Gribble Jr and his gang to pass a "nerve test" by retrieving a steer's skull from the rubbish tip at night – the same rubbish tip said to be haunted by Old Man Chompers, the ghost of a man searching for his twin long-lost grandchildren.
When Bronson asks Tony where babies come from, an embarrassed Tony tells him that babies come from a cabbage patch—which turns out to be true when Bronson discovers a green baby in a cabbage patch.
Pete finds a remote control that can control reality – when Gribble Jr's gang find out, they steal it and use it to compete in a spaghetti eating contest.
After an accident, Linda ends up with a broken nose. She dreams of her nose being big, so she escapes to the country with her Aunt Tuneless (who looks like Nell), where she discovers that anyone who plays The Wild Colonial Boy on a gumleaf from a certain tree can pass illnesses onto others. She discovers this after Aunt Tuneless uses it against Foxy (who looks like Mr Gribble), a neighbour with whom Aunt Tuneless has been feuding for years.
Pete discovers the truth behind Jolly Old St. Nick when he meets Santa Claws No. 115,302. He offers two wishes to each Twist.
Pete's underpants become blessed with magic powers after he uses a microwave to dry them. Unfortunately, a frog race and a shrinkage problem leave Pete all alone and a bit undressed...
Pete and Gribble Jr are dying for a kiss from Fiona and the magic lipstick that is irresistible to all females, comes in handy. Unfortunately, it really does mean all females, not always human.
An old trunk of circus clothes creates all kinds of problems when they begin to come to life.
A copying machine is a dangerous object, as the Twists soon discover. But none worse than when Linda makes a copy of herself.
