Philip

Philip has his hands full. He's a talented and successful designer but, having to constantly meet the deadlines set by his boss, Max, AND bring up two teenage girls is pretty much a full-time occupation.

Add an over-eager genie to the mix and is it any wonder that Philip sometimes feels a little bit put upon ?

Mind you, given the chaos of living with world's worst genie, Philip seems to be coping rather well.

Adil is categorically forbidden to grant Emma and Sophie wishes for two reasons:

  1. It's a very bad habit to get what you want simply by clicking your fingers.
  2. If anyone found out there was a genie in the house, life would become very difficult.

If the girls break this rule, he has no hesitation in using the full range of traditional punishments. He'll ground his daughters, he'll withhold their pocket money or forbid them from staying at their aunt's house in the country, or all of the above.

Don't think that Philip isn't keen on Adil though! He likes him a lot! It means he isn't the only man in the house anymore and has someone he can watch sport with on the TV! He's encouraged Adil to become a rugby fan, an F1 fan, a fan of the Olympic Games... in fact he's made him a fan of every single sport you can watch!

But if Adil does break the rule and grant his daughters their wishes, he is severely punished. The most effective punishment being to lock him up in the lamp for the entire weekend!

Philip has forbidden his daughters to use Adil's services and extends that ban to himself. But you never know what might happen in the future and it's extremely likely that one day, he just might crack...
