Shirley visits the vets and informs several pet owners what their animal's grievances are. It's the first heat of Spirit Academy. Ripping off the Pop Idol auditions format, Shirley searches for the UK's next psychic superstar. The Paranormalists: Shirley's apprentice Ian Jackson (Marc playing another character) learns about Rumpology - the ability to predict the future whilst looking at someone's bum. The other side of Shirley Ghostman: A short and rare insight into the personal life of the psychic. Whilst having a manicure Shirley explains how he became a medium and how Sheba became his spirit guide. He also advises a woman not to let her friends marry as he senses a lot of negativity. Shirley channels Princess Diana. She reveals her feelings on her death and the people she left behind when she passed on. A is for afterlife as we learn about the psychic A - Z. Shirley finishes his first show by singing a song by Roy Orbison who channelled it through him the previous week. It's entitled 'Lovely Lady' and sounds remarkably like 'Pretty Woman'.
