Stephen: This is going to make a great show. Don’t forget Poppy has to go through the hoop. ‘Stephen & Ashlie TV’ – take one.

Ashlie: Stephen, it’s ‘Poppy TV’!

Stephen: Fine. ‘Stephen, Ashlie & Poppy TV’, take one… and action! And action. Ashlie, I said action!

Ashlie: Stephen, I don’t think she wants to do it. And I think you’re shouting too much.

Stephen: Poppy, if you want to be a star, you need to get into character.

Ashlie: I don’t think she understands. I know. What if we give her a treat, like a dog chocolate? Then you might want to go through the hoop.

Stephen: Great idea, have you got one?

Ashlie: Yeah. Here.

Stephen: Give it to me. Poppy, here’s your treat. You’re going to be the greatest dog star in the world.

Ashlie: I don’t think that’s going to work, Stephen.

Stephen: Of course it will. Stephen, Ashlie & Poppy TV, take two. Action!

Ashlie: I think you need to put her treat on the other side of the hoop.

Stephen: Good idea. Take three. Poppy! Action!

Stephen: [Groans] I’m sure great directors never have this much trouble. Never work with animals!

Ashlie: Aw, don’t listen to him, Poppy. You’ve been great. Stephen’s just being bossy.

Stephen: I’m not being bossy, I’m just trying to get the best performance out of Poppy. I’m trying to make her a star.

Ashlie: Well, as you’ve been working so hard as the director, I’ll edit the video and upload it to our new channel. Come on, let’s go home.

Stephen: I’m exhausted after all that directing. I’ve got a sore throat and I’ve got a stomach ache. It must be the stress.

Ashlie: Well, why don’t you have a nap while me and Poppy work on the new channel?

Stephen: That’s a good idea.

Ashlie: That’s it, Stephen. Wake up. I’ve uploaded our first video!

Stephen: Have you? That’s great.

Ashlie: Look, someone has posted a comment already.

Stephen: Really? Let’s have a look. Wow, it says, ‘really funny… smiley face’. That’s odd.

Ashlie: Look, Stephen, we’ve already got some ‘likes’. That’s amazing.

Stephen: I didn’t think it was funny, more like Poppy being clever. Can we see the video, Ash?

Ashlie: Oh, erm, yeah, of course. It wasn’t quite what we planned but… well, you’ll see.

Ashlie: Stephen, are you ready? Hi! Welcome to Poppy TV, I’m Ashlie and this is the adorable Poppy.

Ashlie: Look, Stephen, we’re a hit! We’ve got thousands of views already. We’re going to be famous!

Stephen: Noooo!
