What is Ben and Holly's Little Kingdom King Thistle's New Clothes about?

King Thistle is looking forward to a visit from the very fashionable King and Queen Marigold, so he needs smart new clothes. But when the clothes become dirty, Nanny Plum tries to wash them and accidentally shrinks them. His old clothes suffer the same fate, leaving the king with nothing to wear. With the royal guests about to arrive, Nanny must use magic to create a brand-new outfit from fruit and vegetables. Will King Thistle impress his visitors before the magic wears off?
