Ep 1. Skeleton on the Dunny

Round The Twist is an Australian children's fantasy television series that first aired in 1989. The show is based on a collection of short stories by author Paul Jennings, and each episode follows the wacky adventures of the Twist family as they deal with the bizarre supernatural occurrences that happen in and around their lighthouse home. In season 1 episode 1, titled "Skeleton on the Dunny," viewers are introduced to the series and its characters.

The episode opens with the Twist family moving into their new home at the lighthouse. The family consists of Tony (the father), Pete (the eldest son), Linda (the middle child and only daughter), and Bronson (the youngest son). As they settle into their new surroundings, Linda finds an old newspaper clipping in their bathroom that tells the story of a man who died while sitting on the toilet. Linda is horrified and tells her brothers about it, but they don't believe her and tease her for being scared.

Later that night, Linda is using the bathroom when she hears strange noises. She looks out the window and sees a frightening sight: a skeleton sitting on the toilet outside! Linda runs to get her brothers, but when they return to the bathroom, the skeleton is gone. Tony thinks Linda is just imagining things, but the next day, he discovers the skeleton's remains buried in their backyard.

The Twist family is now forced to deal with the weird and supernatural events that occur around their home. Bronson becomes obsessed with the skeleton and begins carrying around one of its bones. Linda starts having nightmares about the man who died on the toilet and becomes convinced that his ghost is haunting their house. Meanwhile, Tony is dealing with his own problems as he tries to find a job and support his family.

As the episode progresses, the family starts to unravel the mystery of the skeleton and its connection to the man who died on the toilet. They learn that the man was a sailor who had been buried at sea, but his body was washed up on shore and buried in their backyard. The sailor's ghost is now haunting their house, and he wants his bones to be buried at sea where they belong.

With the help of their neighbor, Mrs. Twist (who is also Tony's mother), the Twist family comes up with a plan to give the sailor a proper burial at sea and put his ghost to rest. They build a makeshift boat, load the skeleton's bones onto it, and set it off into the ocean. The episode ends with the family feeling relieved that they've solved the mystery and put the sailor's ghost to rest.

Overall, the first episode of Round The Twist is a fun and wacky introduction to the series. Viewers are introduced to the quirky Twist family and get a taste of the supernatural shenanigans that they'll be dealing with throughout the show. The episode's mix of humor, horror, and adventure make it an exciting ride for young viewers, and the show's unique Australian setting and characters give it a distinct flavor that sets it apart from other children's shows.
