Synopsis: Whilst his parents Linda and Mike spend every weekend ballroom dancing 11 year old Ben goes to stay with his granny, whom he initially finds boring. Then one day he finds a huge collection of jewels in a biscuit tin and discovers she was once a notorious burglar, the Black Cat, though she was never caught as she never tried to sell her spoils. Ben decides they should pull off the biggest heist of all, stealing the Crown Jewels from the Tower of London, using his intimate knowledge of plumbing to enter. Despite his parents' disastrous attempt to get him on the dance floor and the intrusive Neighbourhood Watch warden Parker the couple effect their daring plan. They do not succeed but are allowed to escape by a Royal personage, whom they happen to meet. Sadly Granny does not make it to Christmas but her legacy lives on - in the millions raised for charity by her jewels and the profound effect she has had on the Royal personage.

Thanks, Dad. Gotta go.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

I'll need you for a fitting.

Florence wants an extra practice.

How do you know? She hasn't called.

Well, when you're dance partners

like me and Flo,

you just know. It's telepathy.

Ooh, OK, Florence,

I'll be right with you.

The binoculars, Terrence.

Make a note of the colour

of his trousers, son.

That's if they are his trousers.

Purloined from

the local charity shop.

Are you OK, Gran?

Yes.

Yes, oh, I'm fine, thank you.

Well, I'm just having a little nap.

Come in.

It's the Crown Jewels.

What's the Crown Jewels?

The ones you never managed to steal.

Oh, that's right.

Oh, yeah, they are the most

valuable jewels in the world.

But stealing from the Queen...

She looks like such a nice lady.

She's got loads of jewels.

She's not going to miss a few.

Now, Ben, listen to me.

I know you like

hearing all my stories,

but you really must forget about

this whole stealing jewels malarkey.

But... No, no.

I've put it all behind me now.

Besides, the Crown Jewels...

It's impossible.

Nothing's impossible

for the Black Cat.

("Don't Stop Me Now"

by Queen plays)

Having a good time

Don't stop me now

Don't stop me now

Bad news, Ben.

Granny's had a fall.

Dr Sergeant to theatre,

Oh, hello, dears.

Lovely of you to come.

How are you feeling, Mum?

Oh, not too clever.

One minute

I'm reaching for a tin of soup,

the next I'm lying

face downwards on the lino.

How long were you there?

Oh, not long.

A day or so.

I'm sorry, Mum.

It's funny, cos

I was going to call you yesterday.

You know, for one of our...

our girly natters.

Oh, well.

You weren't to know, my dear.

What did the doctors say?

Well they've given me all sorts

of tests. X-Rays, scans, whatnot.

They're going to come

and talk to me later.

Hopefully won't be in here too long.

I hope so too.

Well,

we better let you get some rest.

Well, I'd like to stay a bit longer.

You know I don't like hospitals.

Yeah, but... Michael.

We're off.

Yeah, thanks for coming.

See you soon.

Oh, I've left my bag in there.
