Hidden camera show that sees devious parents subjecting their unsuspecting children to some outrageous pranks.

An entertainer gets a bit carried away with a bunch of helium balloons, one lucky ten-year-old wins an 'eggs box', a new car embarrasses one father and son when its on-board computer detects a pants problem, and one girl battles to keep the noise down at a relaxation spa.

Also in the show, youngsters are duped by a talking goat, a flying clown and a giant hot dog, courtesy of their parents who were definitely Born Silly!
