00:00I can make my world come true. All my dreams will see me through. Doesn't matter what may come my way. Believe me now, I will win someday.
00:20Put a sock in it, Justin. Touchy touchy.
00:24I'll be touchy stampy in a minute.
00:26Whoa! This is a happy home. With happy smiley people. Eh? Please?
00:32Yeah, Tracy. It's Saturday tomorrow. And you don't want to lose your extra allowance money on whacking anyone.
00:38Too right. I'll just get Maxie to whack you on Sunday.
00:41I'm starving.
00:42There's biscuits over there. And some bananas.
00:44We need calories, Mike. Not monkey food.
00:47We're growing legs.
00:48Hey, hey, hey, hey. Hang on. These haven't even been iced yet.
00:58Okay, Tracy. Elaine wants to have a word with you. She's in the office about this evening.
01:04I've already told her. There's no way she's coming to my parents' evening to talk to my teacher. No way at all.
01:16She is your social worker. It's her job.
01:19My dad saw all my stuff last night. He cares, you see.
01:23Hey, so does Elaine. She's actually very concerned about your schooling, Tracy.
01:28Not surprised. Her work looks like something the cat souped up.
01:31Excuse me, Miss Fluffhead.
01:33I'm top of the class. In fact, they want to get me in to teach the teachers. I'm so unbelievably clever.
01:41Tracy.
01:42Elaine.
01:43I understand where you're coming from.
01:45That's good, Elaine. You're really getting the hang of this job now.
01:48All I'm trying to say is you've been trying really hard to normalise your behaviour. Now, I appreciate that. We all do.
01:55Oh, thanks.
01:57And because you've got loads of ticks on the bonus money allowance chart, you'll get two extra pounds this weekend.
02:03Miss Sharp and I will just have a little chat about ways you can improve your schoolwork too.
02:08Now, I need your appointment form. Let's see what time she's put me down for.
02:16Tracy.
02:18Come on, give it to me.
02:21You don't want to risk any bonus allowance with any negative behaviour.
02:28I'll ring the school.
02:30Wait. I mean, if you really want to go, the time is six o'clock.
02:39Yo, don't do that.
02:42Is it tea time?
02:45Don't just come here at tea time. I've come to see my mates. Can I have one of them?
02:49Help yourself.
02:51Want one, Peter?
02:53What's that?
02:55Barry Mekhan.
02:57Who?
02:58Barry Mekhan. The six foot gorilla bully boy in my class.
03:01Miss Sharp didn't half tell him off about ripping your coat.
03:04She's going to talk to his mum tonight. Am I going to get it on Monday?
03:08I'll buff him up for you, Peter. That'll only make things worse.
03:12Yeah, if you bite his kneecaps, you'll really make him angry.
03:15He keeps picking on me. He calls me nerd boy.
03:18You don't think I'm a nerd, do you, Ben?
03:20No way. It's just...
03:22Well, your jumper is... I like it in that, but it's a bit old-fashioned.
03:28And my dad's got shoes like that.
03:34No one picks on Maxie. I'll sort you out, Peter.
03:37Thanks, Maxie.
03:40Six o'clock, then. Anything you want me to tell Miss Sharp?
03:43She walks like a hippo and smells of mints.
03:46I shall pretend you didn't say that, Tracy.
03:48Oh, Justine, they look delicious.
03:50Did you make them?
03:52No.
03:53They look nice, anyway.
03:55Are you going spare?
03:57In the kitchen.
03:58I'm starving.
04:00See you later, Tracy.
04:02Poor Tracy Beaker.
04:04Ever had a cake face, Pat Justine?
04:06You're going in the world with only Elaine the Pain to watch over her.
04:09My mum could turn up at the last minute.
04:11She'll turn up in real style.
04:14And then you'll all be sorry.
04:25In your dreams.
04:27And if she doesn't go, it's because they won't let her off the film set.
04:30When you're starring in a blockbuster,
04:32you can't just suddenly disappear whenever you want to.
04:35Looks like you're stuck with Elaine, then.
04:37That's what you think.
04:38Actually, I've made other arrangements.
04:40Oh, like who? The Invisible Man?
04:42Or maybe Maxie in a long coat standing on Zach's shoulders?
04:45You'll see.
04:46And what's more, it's someone who was sought out,
04:48old Miss Pointy Nose.
05:06Tracy Beaker,
05:08the next time you want to tie-dye your T-shirt,
05:11keep your paws off my food colouring.
05:18You OK, Justine?
05:19Mm.
05:25Mm. Mike.
05:27These are fabulous.
05:30Couldn't pinch the last one, could I?
05:32I've got such a busy schedule.
05:34What with Tracy's parents' evening, I won't get a chance to eat.
05:37She won't be getting a very good report from her teacher, though.
05:40Then what can you expect?
05:43Nobody's perfect, Elaine.
05:48Put this on.
05:50It's a bit small.
05:52That'll look all right.
06:00I can't breathe.
06:03No pain, no gain.
06:05I can't breathe.
06:09Hang on in there, son. We'll have you out of there in a minute.
06:12OK, kids, back off.
06:14This is a job for an expert.
06:16Mm.
06:18What we need is some cool threads.
06:20Your mission, should you choose to accept it,
06:22is to find and retrieve them.
06:24What?
06:25I want to get him something that fits.
06:34SHE SIGHS
06:38Um, I'm looking for Tracy Beaker. Am I early?
06:41You must be Cam. No, you're bang on time.
06:43She said you'd come.
06:45I wondered if I'd got the wrong day. The car park's half empty.
06:48Please, sit down.
06:50You don't like me going out on the field?
06:52I wasn't planning on it.
06:55I wasn't sure if you'd have enough, so I bought my own.
07:00For the sponsored welly throw?
07:02It's actually parents' evening.
07:04But Tracy sent me an invitation.
07:09She's a very imaginative child, isn't she?
07:12Definitely.
07:14She's artistic, too.
07:18She really thinks the world of you.
07:21All I get is Cam this and Cam that.
07:24When are you taking her home to foster?
07:27Tracy said she'll be moving in any day now.
07:31Right.
07:37I'm not going on holiday.
07:40Let's see what we're working with.
07:43Try this.
07:45And...
07:48And this.
08:01And this.
08:24This has got to be it.
08:26That's wicked.
08:28I told you.
08:30Isn't that just things?
08:42I just set the alarm.
08:47It was lovely meeting you at last.
08:49Bye.
08:54We were thinking of having a sponsored skip next term.
08:57We have to go. Bye.
09:20Let us in.
09:24What is going on?
09:26Meet the new...
09:28Peter!
09:32Like your hair?
09:34It's a bit itchy.
09:36I don't know about all this. It isn't me.
09:39What's my jumper?
09:41You don't need this old thing anymore.
09:43Yeah, run for the bin, I reckon.
09:45Give it here!
09:47Shush, you lot, man.
09:57Now for the tricky bit.
10:00What are you doing?
10:02You look so cool.
10:04I look like a great big wuss.
10:06My nanny did this jumper.
10:08I don't see why I should get rid of it just because one boy teases me.
10:12Anyway, that Barry Macken's got a head like a turnip.
10:15I don't see him getting a makeover.
10:18Anyway, if he starts anything on Monday, I'm going to show him where to get off.
10:22Turnip head?
10:24It sort of goes like this.
10:26Poor kid.
10:28Yeah.
10:34You really are the limit.
10:36Oh, come on, Cam. You wouldn't have gone if I'd said it was parents' evening.
10:39You conned me.
10:41Well, you could have thrown a few wellies afterwards.
10:43I want a word with you, Tracy Beaker.
10:45You gave me the wrong time.
10:47Anyone can make a mistake, Elaine.
10:49Especially when they want to prevent someone from seeing their teacher.
10:52I saw Miss Sharpe this evening.
10:54You did?
10:56So, as you seem to think you're fully qualified to do my job,
11:00which was the greatest concern?
11:02Her behaviour or her poor work?
11:04Excuse me?
11:06Actually...
11:07Oh, great. Dish the dirt. I don't care.
11:09That Miss Sharpe's a rubbish teacher anyway.
11:11Tracy!
11:12And you're a rubbish social worker with your stupid bonus allowance money chants.
11:16What do you think we are?
11:18Poodles jumping through hoops for little doggy treats?
11:21And I thought you'd love to come and see my work.
11:23Just like a real mum would.
11:25Forget it. You'd make the world's worst mum anyway.
11:29I'd leave her for a while.
11:33It's called time out.
11:35So, tell me the worst.
11:38Well, there's nothing to tell.
11:40She's a very bright girl and Miss Sharpe's very pleased with her progress.
11:44Well...
11:52Thank you.
11:57Touch your pay, fever.
11:59You want to cut this grass?
12:02You can't bribe me.
12:04Kate, you know I don't do bribes or doggy treats.
12:07Besides, there's no way I'm rewarding you for what you put me through with Miss Sharpe.
12:10Do you know, she practically begged me to come in and do cooking with the other mums.
12:14Don't you even think about it.
12:17And Miss Sharpe thought you deserved a little prize.
12:19For your essay. What I did on the weekend.
12:21Really?
12:23Oh, the one where you and me flew right around the world?
12:34We saw it all, didn't we?
12:36We had a couple of close shaves.
12:38But being such a great team, we'd pull through okay.
12:50Yep, that's the one.
12:52Maybe this weekend we'll just have a quiet burger and chips in town then.
12:57Row over.
13:00Yeah.
13:01I think you'd better go and say sorry to Elaine now.
13:04I know. I'll put her down for sponsored skip.
13:12Nice one, but I didn't stop there.
13:20Hey, hey.
13:22They'll find it works better if you don't try and beat it to death.
13:24Finished now anyway.
13:26The Dumping Ground Gazette.
13:28We usually go for something more traditional like, you know, House Newsletter.
13:32You've got to learn to let go of the past, Mike.
13:34Now I've got the catchy title, all I need is the big juicy story to go with it.
13:38Well, that's why you're the editor, kiddo.
13:40If anyone can sniff out a story, it's you.
13:44Justine, why don't you take your bed upstairs?
13:49Well, Jenny, can I have a word, please?
13:52Yeah, sure, come in.
13:57Justine, what's in your bag?
14:01Oh, it's nothing.
14:03Justine, what's in your bag?
14:05Oh, it's nothing.
14:07Justine, what's in your bag?
14:09Oh, it's nothing.
14:12Check this out.
14:14A TV? You won't be allowed to keep that in your room.
14:17Elaine said I can.
14:19That is so unfair.
14:25I did what I thought was right.
14:27She was extremely upset about her father.
14:29That doesn't mean you have to grant a privilege that's against house rules.
14:32I mean, what are the other kids going to think?
14:34Justine Littlewood's got a TV in her room. I wouldn't want to.
14:37What happened to the rule about knocking?
14:39Must have run away with the rule about TVs.
14:41Tracy, I gave Justine permission to have a television in her room.
14:44Anyway, it's not a very big one, is it?
14:47It's not a very big one. It's still a TV.
14:51Once you start breaking basic rules like that, it'll get totally out of hand.
14:56People will start taking terrible liberties.
14:59Then who knows where it will end?
15:10Shh!
15:17Even a rubbish social worker like you knows you can't give something to one kid and not give it to the others.
15:22I shall be writing this up for the Dumping Ground Gazette.
15:25I don't think it'll be a very interesting story, Tracy.
15:28It'll be interesting, all right.
15:31Today, the Gazette. Tomorrow, the world.
15:36Never underestimate the power of the press.
15:42I can't believe you've got a TV. That is so cool.
15:45Where is it? Ta-da!
15:48It's tiny, so it won't stop me watching it when no-one else is allowed to.
15:53Right. Who cares how big the screen is?
15:58Tracy said you've got a TV.
16:00Shut up, weed! You know the rules. Boys aren't allowed in girls' rooms.
16:04Why don't you watch? I'll give you this.
16:13Mike, Mike! I found a monster story!
16:16Yeah? Big enough to fill the front page?
16:18Big enough to fill the whole newsletter.
16:21I'm going to get rid of laying the pain for good.
16:26Poor dopey Elaine won't even know what hit her.
16:38Go on, dish the dirt. I know you hate her.
16:41I'll quote you as an anonymous source.
16:44You can put me down as the King of Siam.
16:46You're not getting one word out of me about Elaine.
16:49See? You do hate her. Otherwise you would have said something nice.
16:53That's about as good a picture as you're going to get.
16:56I could fill it with a contrast, if you like.
16:58I'll do it, thanks. The TV's kind of special.
17:00Hey, we're all zombies in the midnight movie tonight.
17:03I don't suppose you want to watch it, do you?
17:06Well... sure.
17:09It's just we might have to negotiate terms.
17:13It's just that Peter had to pay,
17:15and there is that risk, you know, of boys in my room,
17:18which might bump up the price a bit.
17:20Look, give him a quote, and we'll get back to you.
17:27Cup of coffee for the worker?
17:29Oh, yeah, lovely.
17:31I was just making sure it was secure.
17:34Cheers.
17:36Mike, do you think the kids see me as too authoritarian?
17:40Well, not really, I...
17:42Sandwich!
17:43Maxie likes me, don't you, Maxie?
17:46You smell funny.
17:49You smell funny.
17:58Anyone fancy a bit of a kickabout?
18:01Um, Maxie's around somewhere. He'll give you a game.
18:04Oh. OK, then.
18:06Some other time?
18:08Yeah.
18:13How creepy was that?
18:16KNOCK AT DOOR
18:21I'd like to interview you on behalf of all the other children
18:24who are totally hacked off because they're not allowed TVs in their rooms.
18:28They don't look hacked off to me.
18:30See what Elaine started? Now you've got boys in your room.
18:33No, I haven't.
18:35Hey!
18:37Yes, but you had, and that's against the rule.
18:40Peter goes in and out of your room all the time.
18:42Sorry, can't stand hearing chat. Have an anti-TV expose, ain't I?
18:53Hello, Peter.
18:55And I don't play football.
18:57Apparently. Elaine asked Ryan and Zach if they wanted to play football.
19:01She must be desperate.
19:03Well, won't kill her to try a little bit harder, will it?
19:05And I'm sick to death of her riding roughshod over everybody's feelings.
19:08Can I quote you on that?
19:11So I'll come just before midnight, then.
19:13Great. I was going to watch it anyway.
19:15Justine!
19:16Not now, Lou. Of course, you're going to have to contribute something.
19:19It's just the others have been paying. It wouldn't be fair otherwise.
19:23Here's my scale of charges.
19:25Oh. OK, I suppose it'd be worth it to see the gig.
19:28Studio tried to get tickets, but they sold out.
19:31Justine, Adele's concert clashes with Ryan and Zach's film.
19:35I know.
19:38I just came to see how the newsletter's coming along.
19:41Unless you've got a TV in your bag, it's coming along very nicely.
19:45Tracy, I know you're angry because we haven't been spending enough quality time together lately,
19:50but it's not Justine's fault, so don't take it out on her.
19:53I'm not. I'm taking it out on you.
19:56When the Daily Papers get hold of my article about how you and Justine
20:00are getting on with each other, I'm going to tell them.
20:04When the Daily Papers get hold of my article about how you have favourites,
20:08how you're always telling us stuff and changing your mind,
20:11and how you break the rules all the time, your career is going to be over.
20:17Get your hair done, Elaine. You're going to be front-page news.
20:24Justine, do you really think the others will keep paying to watch your TV
20:28when they can watch downstairs for free?
20:30It's more fun up here, and they won't be able to watch TV anyway after ten o'clock.
20:34My prices are pretty reasonable to them.
20:39Lou, about tonight, you know you have to pay, don't you?
20:43I'm your best mate. Wouldn't be fair on the others, right?
20:49I'm off.
20:51It's Tracy getting to you, so have a word.
20:54I'm more than qualified to deal with the likes of Tracy Beaker, thank you very much.
20:59Take that as a no, then, shall I?
21:10Here's my scale of charges.
21:17You only want to watch a midnight movie, Justine,
21:19not fly to Hollywood and meet the director.
21:22Yes, but...
21:24Did you say midnight movie?
21:26Yeah.
21:27That's where my concert starts.
21:29Ah. Bit of a technical hitch.
21:32I'm double booked.
21:33What?!
21:34So I decided the choice of programme goes to the highest bidder.
21:39You're choking.
21:40You have lost it, girl.
21:43Let me know when you want to start bidding.
21:48Now do you see why my anti-TV article is so important?
21:51Even Elaine has turned an innocent girl into a greedy, selfish money-grabber.
21:55A woman like that should not be in charge of kids and care.
22:00Talk to me, people.
22:03OK, OK, one at a time.
22:06Adele, still on for the concert?
22:08CJ's taping it for me.
22:10Oh.
22:12Ryan, Adele's dropped out. Normal rate supply.
22:16You wish.
22:18Louise, you can watch for nothing.
22:20Wouldn't be for any others.
22:26KNOCK AT DOOR
22:27Come in.
22:30Thank you for knocking, Tracey.
22:32Thank you for inviting me in, Jenny.
22:36Something tells me you have a request.
22:38I've come to type up my article.
22:40Let me see.
22:43Stupid social worker gives grieving kids grief in tactless TV treat trauma.
22:49Is that a stunker of a headline or what?
22:51Social worker Elaine the Pain Boyer has upset the kids in her care.
22:56She's broken a house rule by giving permission for one of the girls,
23:00not even one of the nice ones,
23:02to have a TV in her room when none of the others are allowed.
23:05Tracey...
23:06Don't stop now, you're getting to the good bit.
23:08The Gazette says protects these poor, defenceless children
23:12by giving this useless social worker the sack.
23:15Tracey, you can't print a story like this.
23:18Tracey, you can't print a story like this.
23:20I knew you'd take sides with Elaine the Rubbish Pain.
23:28Oh, no!
23:37It's broken.
23:38I was watching it and the screen went blank.
23:40It's completely dead.
23:42Guess she's just like the rest of us again.
23:44My dad gave me this.
23:47So? He's always getting you things.
23:49He's gone away.
23:51He's gone to work up north.
23:53But he's coming back, right?
23:55He doesn't know!
23:57That's why he gave me this, as a going-away present.
24:01That's terrible.
24:09I didn't know that's why he gave you the TV, Justine.
24:12It's OK.
24:18I see the rule about knocking's gone walkabout again.
24:21Nobody knocks in an emergency, Jenny.
24:24I am here to type up my new front page.
24:27Justine's TV is broken
24:29and I am running a campaign to get her another one.
24:32Tracey, if Justine's TV's broken, then that's the end of it.
24:35We can't get her another one
24:37for all the reasons you spent all day campaigning about.
24:40That was before I was in possession of all the facts.
24:43You should have told me that that TV was a going-away present
24:46from her dad.
24:48Tracey Beaker, you old softy.
24:50Am not!
24:52You won't catch me feeling sorry for a spilt daddy's girl
24:55like Justine Littlewood.
24:57And I can't get Elaine the Pink Floyd
24:59if there isn't a TV to get her fired over.
25:02I'm only doing what any decent journalist would do,
25:05covering the news as it breaks.
25:07You'll have to excuse me, Jenny.
25:09I can't keep my readers waiting.
25:16I can make my world come true
25:19All my dreams will see me through
25:22And the flak won't get me down
25:25My dreams will turn things all around
25:27With a smile upon my face
25:30I can see a better place
25:32Doesn't matter what may come my way
25:35Believe that now I will win someday
