Season 1 • Episode 6
LatestBilly finds himself on telly, playing Thunderbolt Thorpe in the World Snooker Championships. His concerns intensify when Linda returns early from the disco and says that Alfonso wished to be her brother. Billy has forgotten to turn off the TV, which puts himself and his family in peril.
Young Billy Webb likes to swap things with his schoolmates. He meets Alfonso Bonzo, an 'Italian exchange student' who also has a talent for swapping things (thus his self-description: he is an Italian student who exchanges things). Billy makes a series of magical but increasingly risky swaps with Alfonso, leading to unexpected and sometimes sinister consequences as Alfonso's true nature becomes questionable.
