00:00I can make my world come true. All my dreams will see me through. Doesn't matter what they
00:12come my way. Believe me now, I will win someday.
00:22How many ants have you got?
00:24Hundreds. I don't need more by name.
00:26Alright. What's that one called?
00:28Trevor.
00:29They're all called Trevor, right?
00:30What's going on? Mum and Duke are putting up a tent in the back garden.
00:31We're all having a boy's sleepover at Duke's tent.
00:32Eurgh, who'd want to share a tent with manky boys?
00:33I would.
00:34Go on then, ask your parents.
00:35Excuse me, whose friend are you supposed to be?
00:36Why should you care for fuzzy features? We're all going out tonight anyway. Jealous because
00:37your so-called friend invited me to her sleepover as well.

02:16What's a sleepover?
02:18Oi!
02:19Who told you you could sleep in the tent?
02:21He did.
02:22What a joke!
02:23We were going to tell spooky stories.
02:25I'd just tone him down so he doesn't get nightmares.
02:30We can't let you sleep at someone else's house until they've been properly checked out.
02:33Not good enough!
02:34These rules are for your own protection.
02:36Ring Sophie's mum!
02:38She'll tell you she's not an axe murderer.
02:40Can't you let us go?
02:41Just this once.
02:42Please?
02:44Well, I could maybe let Justine go.
02:46Well, if you've got a parent around who can give you permission,
02:49then we don't have to go through the usual procedures.
02:51So, if I was to ring my dad?
02:53No, thank you. If two can't go, none of us will.
02:56We're all for one and one for all.
02:58Yep.
03:01One, two, three, four...
03:05Jenny, please ring my dad and tell him to pick me up at seven.
03:08What took you so long?
03:11Wait!
03:13Me and Louise have decided we won't come to your sleep out.
03:16Sorry, girls aren't allowed in boys' bedrooms.
03:18A tent is not a bedroom, Dumbo.
03:20In your dreams, it's a boys' sleep out.
03:25Come back, traitor!
03:31Tell Jenny you're not going to sleep with me.
03:33I'm not going to sleep with you.
03:35I'm not going to sleep with you.
03:36I'm not going to sleep with you.
03:38I'm not going to sleep with you.
03:39Tell Jenny you're not going.
03:41Thought we were all sticking together for once.
03:43It's not my fault I've got a dad.
03:45I wouldn't have gone without you.
03:48Never mind her, Louise.
03:49We've got our own planning to do for our own special sleepover.
03:55Louise, wait.
03:59Maybe I won't go.
04:01What?
04:02Maybe I won't go.
04:06Wait!
04:07What now? We're busy.
04:10I know a way we can all go to the sleepover.
04:14And then the music teacher said
04:16I was the only one who could hit the right note.
04:19Come back! I mean, wait.
04:22Um, we need to find Justine some party food
04:25to take to the sleepover.
04:26Why are you so interested?
04:28She's my best friend, isn't she?
04:30That's nice.
04:31OK, let's see what we can dig up out of the pantry.
04:38It's his answer machine.
04:39That's OK.
04:41Hi, Dad, I know you might be a bit pushed for time after work,
04:45so, um, can you pick me up round the corner
04:48instead of the dumping ground tonight?
04:51I know.
04:52Oh, and I might have a couple of friends with me.
04:55OK, bye.
04:59What are these, dear?
05:02Huh?
05:04For you to take to the sleepover.
05:06Ow! I mean, they're great.
05:17Ooh, that's funny.
05:19This used to be a four-man tent.
05:21What are you doing?
05:23I'm getting my bed ready.
05:25You're not sleeping in the tent as well?
05:28You didn't think we were going to let you stay out here
05:30all night on your own?
05:32SCREAMING
05:34Great.
05:35How did you put those down?
05:37They're for our sleepover, aren't they?
05:39No, they're for our sleepover.
05:40I thought you and Louise weren't allowed to go.
05:42We're not!
05:44Um, I...
05:46What's that?
05:47Oh, it's an ant.
05:49Yuck.
05:50You killed my Trevor, murderer.
05:54Correction, mass murderer.
05:57I'll get you back for this.
05:59SCREAMING
06:01What have you got there?
06:02Dad bought me my own tent.
06:04Oh, he did, huh?
06:06I've never used it, though.
06:07It's been too busy.
06:09Let's have a look at it.
06:11Come on.

06:33Wow!
06:34Now, that's what I call a tent.
06:37Do you know you boys wanted to be alone?
06:41You're going to sleep in that?
06:43Great idea. Thanks.
06:45DRAMATIC MUSIC
06:47SCREAMING
06:49DRAMATIC MUSIC
06:51You two should be congratulated.
06:54Not a single jealous word about not going to the sleepover.
06:57We don't mind.
06:59Well, I suggest you join me later.
07:02I've got a video, and...
07:12We'd love to, but we're too tired.
07:15Well, I suppose a private sleepover in your bedroom
07:19isn't special without a special treat.
07:23Thanks.
07:25Thanks.
07:30SCREAMING
07:35What are you doing?
07:36Making sure we don't disturb you with our story.
07:39Oh, your horror stories.
07:41I like scary stories.
07:43Yeah, well, just in case you don't, I'll be next door.
07:50Ooh, you look great.
07:52Dad will be here any minute. I'll go and wait for him. Thanks.
07:56Wait.
08:01Three, two, one.
08:04Jenny, Dad's here!
08:10He's here, Dad!
08:12Time!
08:15DRAMATIC MUSIC
08:30We did it! We're not safe till we get round the corner.
08:33Come on, let's go!
08:35You'll be quicker without those pizzas.
08:38Against how?
08:40Depends.
08:45Have a nice time, Ant-Murderer.
08:48Come on, Dad will be here soon.
08:51DRAMATIC MUSIC
08:55Come on, Dad will be here soon.
09:20Can we have a scary story now?
09:22Not too scary, remember?
09:24He heard that?
09:25I heard that too.
09:27Try shall Dad be late?
09:29Maybe he came early and we weren't there.
09:32He would have waited for me.
09:34So where is he, then?
09:36And then he woke up in a coffin.
09:40How did he wake up if he was dead?
09:43He wasn't really dead.
09:45As he lay in the coffin,
09:47he could hear the sound of the earth falling on top of it
09:50as they filled the grave in.
09:52He tried shouting, but nobody could hear him.
09:56Help!
09:58Help!
10:00I am alive!
10:03Let me out!
10:11He's not coming, is he?
10:13One day, I'll have my own sleepover and nobody will get left out.
10:21And then my mum will make sure we all have the greatest time ever.
10:47Come on, let's go home.
10:51We are going to get in so much trouble.
10:54Jenny won't even know you two are gone.
10:57I'll be grounded for years.
11:04Stowey House.
11:06Mr. Littlewood.
11:08Something wrong?
11:10Justine?
11:14Can I call you back?
11:17Duke!
11:21Get me out.
11:23Get me out!
11:25Get me out! Come on!
11:30Duke, come on, stop messing me about.
11:32This is a real emergency.
11:38Justine's dad rang.
11:40Said he couldn't get away from work to pick her up.
11:42What?
11:43She said he'd come.
11:45He said he'd come. She left ages ago.
11:47Tracy and Louise are not in their beds. They're all out on their own.
11:50OK, I'll get the minibus.
11:52It's OK. We're here now.
11:55What on earth do you three think you're playing at?
12:00I'm sorry.
12:02And you! You deliberately misled me.
12:04You are in serious trouble, Justine.
12:06She did it for me.
12:08And me.
12:10Well, at least you're all home safely.
12:13Get upstairs to bed.
12:20Enough of a little sleepover, isn't it?
12:22Our sleepover can wait. There's something important we have to do.
12:25Come on.
12:34Supper time, Trevor.
12:43Argh!
12:51What's happening? What's going on?
12:57Switch off now and you're dead meat.
13:07Howdy, peasants.
13:09How come you're so cheerful? Somebody died horribly?
13:12You know what, Louise? You're developing a nasty streak.
13:15And that kind of thing doesn't go down well with foster parent types.
13:18Says the Lady Mayoress of Reject City.
13:21That was the old me. I've changed.
13:23I'm a lot better-sounding than a brand-new outfit.
13:25Oh. Clothing allowance day.
13:28Big deal. We can just about afford a pair of socks between us.
13:32Ah, but unlike some people, I've been saving up.
13:35And when I go into town on my special trip today with Jenny,
13:38my reward will be the swishiest, swankiest outfit ever.
13:42It may be hard to make up my mind,
13:44but Jenny's pretty hot stuff in fashion.
13:58All right, Jenny, show me the money.
14:01Jenny?
14:03Hi.
14:05You must be Tracy Beaker.
14:07And you are...?
14:08Leah, the temporary care worker.
14:13SHE WHISTLES
14:22Pleased to meet you.
14:27What's happened to Jenny?
14:29She's in hospital, ingrown toenail.
14:31What, so no-one's in charge?
14:33Well, I'm in charge, actually.
14:35No, seriously!
14:37I find that very hurtful, Tracy.
14:39Well, I don't know this Leah person. She's bound to disrupt things.
14:42We're all very sensitive, you know.
14:44A lot of us come from broken homes.
14:46Her name is Leah, and I hope you'll give her a fair chance.
14:55That went surprisingly well.
15:01Uh-oh. Beaker alert.
15:05I can't believe you're wasting your time on stupid ball games.
15:08Haven't you seen her?
15:09Seen who?
15:10Temporary care worker.
15:11How can you be so casual?
15:13Temporary care worker?
15:29I don't understand.
15:31Look, what do you do in school when a student comes and teaches you?
15:35Make every waking moment a nightmare.
15:37See? At least there are people who still believe in traditional values.
15:42OK, Beaker, what's the plan?
15:45You've met Tracy, then?
15:47She's all right, really. They all are.
15:49As crazy as a box of frogs, but a great bunch.
15:51I'm sure you're right.
15:52You see, you can have all the training and qualifications you like,
15:56but the secret to being good at this job is experience.
15:59You've got to be as friendly and as open as is reasonable.
16:02What, you mean something like getting them all together for a meeting
16:06to introduce myself properly?
16:08Yeah, yeah, that's a great idea, yeah.
16:10Great, well, thanks for the suggestion. I'll call a meeting.
16:15You met the temporary care worker, then?
16:17Not really, but she looks OK.
16:19Well, we've had some terrible stories about her.
16:22Yeah, and the last time she worked in, they caught her using the cane.
16:26She hung the kids so hard, she left splinters in his bottom.
16:30She had to go to prison.
16:32Thing is, they let her keep the cane.
16:39So, you've seen Leah, then?
16:41Yes, she seems nice.
16:43Nice? I bet she fooled the army into thinking she was nice.
16:47The army? Didn't you know she used to be in the army?
16:50Oh.
16:52But isn't she a bit too young for that?
16:55That's it, you see.
17:03And then she was a bouncer in this nightclub,
17:06but they had to sack her because she beat up that film star.
17:10You know, the one that was in that film with that woman?
17:13And... and, um...
17:15And then...
17:17You're not very good at this, are you?
17:19Um...
17:20This is a beaker idea, isn't it?
17:22We're going to do this. We'd better do it properly.
17:25Well, well. Look what the situation has come to.
17:28Tattoo?
17:29Yeah, I got these a couple of years ago in Thailand.
17:32Oh. Have you met all the kids yet?
17:35Crazy there's a box of frogs, but they're a great bunch
17:38if you give them a fair chance.
17:40Yeah, I've heard that.
17:42Do you know what I'd do if I were you?
17:44I'd have a getting-to-know-you session
17:46without me or Mike being there.
17:48Oh.
17:50Well, I'm not sure I'd do that.
17:52I'm not sure I'd do that.
17:54I'd have a getting-to-know-you session
17:56without me or Mike being there.
17:58Well, I, er...
18:00Well, think about it.
18:02Better go.
18:04Work to do.
18:06Yeah.
18:08Peter, Maxie, Leo wants to talk to you.
18:11I haven't done anything!
18:13Um, Ben wanted me to help him with his homework.
18:16Oh, yes. Tired of getting A's all the time.
18:19Fancy a bit of a change?
18:21Ben?
18:22Sorry, Peter.
18:24It's OK. It was quite funny in a nasty sort of way.
18:27Come on, Maxie, let's go.
18:30Hi, Tracy.
18:31When will you be ready for my shopping trip?
18:33Can't you wait till Jenny gets back?
18:35So I'm supposed to walk around in my underwear?
18:38I think I could cope with a shopping trip.
18:40Well, I don't know. Jenny's very good at that kind of thing.
18:44She's got a great understanding
18:46of the kind of things a girl like me really needs.
18:53You can scarcely afford a pocket calculator,
18:55let alone a computer.
19:00Well, let's face it, Linda, or whatever your name is,
19:03you hardly look like an expert in retail therapy.
19:06Leah!
19:07Adele.
19:08Hello, Mel.
19:09I can't believe it. What are you doing here?
19:11So good to see you.
19:12I'm just here for the week.
19:14I can't believe it, yeah.
19:15Tracy, are you coming to the X and OU meeting?
19:18I think I know you as well as I need to.
19:20Excuse me, I have a shopping trip to prepare for.
19:36Hi! Been helping out in the garden?
19:38Might have been an idea to wash your hands and change your wellies.
19:41Was she here, Taz?
19:43What about this meeting, then?
19:45Well, as you know, my name is Leah.
19:48Perhaps you could tell me a bit about yourselves.
19:50You mean you haven't read our notes?
19:53Very unprofessional.
19:54If she can't be bothered to read our notes,
19:56I bet she doesn't even know the normal rules.
19:58Rules?
19:59See, we all have emotional problems,
20:02so you being here instead of Jenny could be quite upsetting.
20:05So we need to be treated with kid gloves.
20:07Well, of course.
20:08And we're allowed to stay up late to watch TV
20:10cos we're too upset to sleep.
20:12And no baths in case we catch a cold.
20:14What, anything else?
20:15Takeaways for tea?
20:17OK. What kind?
20:19Indian.
20:20Fish and chips.
20:21Can you run that by me again?
20:23OK, got all that.
20:26Is there anything else I should know?
20:28The free run of amusement arcades rule, perhaps?
20:31The no getting up before midday rule?
20:35The no chores until you feel quite up to it rule?
20:40Please, miss, we've washed our hands.
20:42Oh, hi, you two. The name's Leah.
20:45Right, now we've got all the rules out the way
20:48and we have got them completely out of the way, haven't we?
20:52Good. Does anyone have any questions?
20:55Peter?
20:56How many people did you shoot?
20:58What?
21:00Maxi?
21:01What was it like in prison?
21:03Prison?
21:05Well, you know how it is.
21:08Your very first exotic holiday
21:10and suddenly you find yourself suspended in a bamboo cage
21:15above a steaming swamp
21:17with murderers and madmen all around you.
21:19The angry sun beating down on your shaven head
21:22and snapping mercilessly beneath you
21:24and the jaws of a thousand crocodiles.
21:28Good.
21:29Now I've got your attention, do you think we can have a proper meeting?
21:33Yeah, yeah, yeah.
21:36OK, Tracey, ready for the off?
21:38Yeah, and so's Ben.
21:39Ben? What?
21:41Yeah, Ben.
21:42Well, if you can't keep track of residents in a home as small as this,
21:46maybe you shouldn't be in this job.
21:48There, there, Ben.
21:50This is always happening to him, always getting left behind,
21:54having his name missed off lists.
21:56No wonder he wets the bed.
21:58Ben Battenboosie?
22:00Hi. Duke's told me all about you.
22:02You live just down the road, don't you?
22:04Yes.
22:05Well, better be off.
22:08Let's go, quick.
22:11I thought this was supposed to be my special trip.
22:14I thought it might be nice to organise a little expedition.
22:17You know, take me back to my army days.
22:22So, enjoy your meeting.
22:24Disaster. She's too clever for us.
22:27That's it. You've been allowing her to be too clever.
22:30I think it's time I go back to basics.
22:32I think it's time I go back to basics.
22:41Miss, can you help me?
22:55Oh, no.
22:57Not his trick in the book.
23:02Tracy, what if she gets in trouble?
23:04Do you think it would top me?
23:06Tracy, he's got your money.
23:07Oh, well.
23:22Hi.
23:23Hiya.
23:26Crickadel hide us.
23:28Who from?
23:30Leah.
23:33We ran away and she's looking for us
23:35and we're going to get in trouble and she's going to get in trouble and...
23:38She's getting a bit too big for her boots.
23:40Oh, caught on to your little wind-ups, did she?
23:43I have no idea what you mean.
23:45Leah knows every scam in the book. She probably invented most of them.
23:48What are you talking about?
23:50When I was Maxie's age and I had to go into care for the first time,
23:53Leah looked after me.
23:54Don't be silly. She can't have been a care worker that long.
23:57She's not old enough.
23:58She wasn't a care worker, she was a resident.
24:02You mean...
24:04She was one of us.
24:05Exactly, one of us, who's managed to do something with her life.
24:08And you're helping to get her in serious trouble.
24:20Yeah, I realise that, Duke. I know.
24:23But I can't have got far.
24:25Yeah, I know. I'm really sorry.
24:28I'll call you back.
24:31Aren't we supposed to be going shopping?
24:33Well...
24:34We arranged to meet up at the post office. Didn't we tell you?
24:40Do you remember that time you tried to convince Duke you were allergic to carrots?
24:43With a fake tan from the chemist, I turned bright orange.
24:46Mind you, the dirt was almost on me. I came that close to having my stomach pumped.
24:50Nasty.
24:51Wow. What was Duke like when he was younger?
24:54You should have seen him.
24:56There was this one time he came up...
25:00Duke!
25:01I was meant to call you, wasn't I?
25:04Things got...
25:05Well, I found them.
25:07It's all a wind-up. Imagine that.
25:09I've been driving like a madman. I've been thinking all sorts of...
25:15We'll talk later, will you?
25:17Oh, come on, Duke. Lighten up.
25:19You know, your trouble, you won't give people a fair chance.
25:23Huh?
25:26Oh!
25:56Oh!
