Plot

Big Kids follows the lives of two siblings, Simon and Kate, whose parents have been hypnotized at a school show with the spell not properly broken, causing them to act like young children at seemingly random moments. The program shows the trial and tribulations the two kids have to cope with looking after their two 'big kids', whilst trying to work out what is happening and how to stop it. Simon and Kate eventually find out that the parent's 'big kids' moments are caused by any word with 'ming' in it (such as swimMING) - as the name of the hypnotist causing the problems was "Ming."
