Genie in the House is a British sitcom broadcast on Nickelodeon UK about a widowed father with two teenage daughters who find a dusty old golden lamp while exploring the loft of their new home. A quick rub of the lamp releases Adil, a trainee genie from Balamkadaar who has been confined to life in the lamp for 1000 years. Philip has banned any use of magic in the house, yet the girls and Adil the Genie find ways to get themselves into trouble using Adil's wish granting powers. The mother is never mentioned, except on Adil's birthday when Philip mentions being a widower. As of March 2012, Genie in the House is now airing on the Starz Kids & Family cable network.
Sophie and Emma are having a sleepover party at the house. It's vital for their reputation that it's a success. While Philip, Adil and Max test a new easy to erect tent in the garden. While swapping Ghost stories the girls realize a real Ghost is in the house who must scare a hundred people before he can graduate 'upstairs'.
Emma is bored of studying, and wishes she went to a different kind of school. Soon, North Southport High becomes an all-singing, all-dancing academy of performing arts.
Emma and Sophie, along with Clive, make a music video for the school's website. Emma accidentally wishes for Sophie to become a genie. Clive accidentally rubs the lamp and soon becomes the master of Sophie. Unknowingly, he wishes for things without knowing Sophie is a genie and must grant what he wishes for.
