All Nigel's friends look after him VERY carefully – he is the last Nigel on Earth, after all. Feeding him grapes, fanning him with leaves … the pampering is endless.

But when New Nigel arrives, the illusion is shattered. Nigel's friends won’t pamper him any more.

Nigel comes up with a trick to get rid of New Nigel and go back to his old life … but will he discover that new friends aren’t such a bad thing after all?
