Bringing up a baby would surely be kid's play for The Five. How hard could it possibly be ?! When the
doorbell rings one Saturday afternoon, the last thing the Five were expecting to find on their doorstep
was a baby ... But the Five are next of kin to Cousin Rupert and his wife, so when they find themselves
in a spot of bother and are destined for a short spell behind bars, Anne, Dick, George and Anne are the
first port of call. First, it's the fear and the tiredness that kicks in. They are terrified at being
responsible for this new life and have no idea they're doing it right. Why is it crying ? They use
Dr Google constantly, who whatever the situation offers the same range of advice from 'don't worry
about it' to 'rush her to the A&E'. 'Why is she crying ?' they constantly ask. 'Why ?' It keeps them
up all night every night, until they are reduced to walking ghosts, haunted by a numb and impotent
fury. Is this an adventure too far for our Five ?
