Bobby lived in a grey world. Full of grey people, leading grey lives. On the outside Bobby looked like a grey person too, but he was hiding something. One day, Bobby's mum took him to the pantomine where everything was sparkly and full of colour and Bobby uncovered what the magic of confidence and self-belief can do.
