00:00I found this really cool quiz for best mates to do together.
00:29Fine! I don't care, I'll play for Leighton!
00:34Well, I um...
00:36As if!
00:38Tracy, I've got some really good news for you.
00:42You're leaving?
00:44You've been chosen to appear in a Child of the Week ad in a newspaper. The photographer's on his way now.
00:49Cool, let's go and buy some new clothes before he gets here.
00:52Tracy, it's not really about looks, it's more about personality.
00:56Good job they didn't choose you then.
01:00He called a house meeting to talk about vegetables.
01:03Jenny thinks you should eat more. I just wondered what you thought.
01:06Probably only like fries.
01:08True.
01:09Jenny wants us to explore the territory around vegetables that come in a colour. Like green.
01:17Oh, that's great news. The newspaper's offered us some extra space, now Louise can have an ad too.
01:22You know, I really object to this buy one get one free approach, Elaine.
01:25You know, these are children, not special offers in a supermarket.
01:28Children who need foster parents, Jenny. Let's not forget that.
01:32Yes, well, working here it's hardly likely, is it?
01:34Tracy's going to be very disappointed to find out that she's not the only one.
01:38Oh, she'll be fine. Once she sees the ad I've written.
01:42What, you've written it without even talking to her?
01:44I can't believe the only vegetables you guys can come up with are baked beans.
01:49Sorry, Duke, could I borrow Louise?
01:53What's wrong with baked beans?
01:55They make you...
01:56Thank you, Maxie. They're not green and they come in a tin.
02:00Duke's right. Why don't you make broccoli or cabbage?
02:04I told you she was wacko.
02:06Well, you wouldn't eat stuff like that.
02:08I don't, but I'm not going to be here because I've just been made Child of the Week
02:13and my ad is going to be so totally brilliant
02:16that there'll be a flood of people desperate to foster me
02:19and I'll be able to choose the richest, handsomest, spawmy most parents.
02:24There'll be so many of them, they'll bribe me to pick them with all sorts of flashy presents.
02:30I reckon they'll have to lay on counsellors for the people I turn down.
02:34They'll be so upset when I reject them
02:36because all of them are going to be dying to take me home.
02:39Then racing to bring you back again.
02:42Just like the last time.
02:49I'd hate to live in a strange house with, well, strangers.
02:54Lucky they picked me instead of you, then we'd...
02:58So we're laying the glorious pains in there now, telling Louise.
03:02She hasn't given it a second thought what it's going to do to Tracy.
03:05Yeah, well, we'd better be ready with the bandages.
03:08You're what? You said I was Child of the Week.
03:11You're not supposed to tell her stuff, then change your mind then when you've told it.
03:15You're still Child of the Week, Tracy. But now Louise is too.
03:19Then I'm not Child of the Week, am I?
03:21Because two childs make a children. Any thicko knows that.
03:24Stop whinging. It's only a stupid ad no-one cares about.
03:28You would care if you were Child of the Week, which I'm not.
03:31I don't need to be because I've got a dad.
03:34Tracy's got a mum.
03:36Tracy's got a mum?
03:38Yes, but my dad visits, unlike her invisible mum.
03:42She is not invisible!
03:44That's enough, Tracy.
03:46She started it.
03:47Don't know why they're getting all the fuss anyway.
03:49Because we're Child of the Week, so we're special, and you're not.
03:53Coming, Louise.
03:56OK, here's how we should play it.
03:58All these kids are grinning their heads off, so we should look sad.
04:02Sort of puppy in a pet shop look.
04:05All the foster parents will want to come and rescue us.
04:08That's dead clever, Tracy.
04:11Ta-da!
04:15Looks like an explosion in a bogey factory.
04:18That looks gross.
04:20This from the girl who asked for broccoli.
04:24Give them a try. You might like them.
04:28Tracy, I can't.
04:31Bam!
04:34Bam!
04:36Mmm, Duke, you're right, they're delicious.
04:39Told you.
04:41Bam!
04:43Bam!
04:45Bam!
04:47Bam!
04:49Bam!
04:51Bam!
04:53Bam!
04:55So, Duke, how do you make them then?
04:59You chop them into sticks, you dip them in batter and then you fry them.
05:03Really?
05:05So, how are we doing in here?
05:07Fine. My courgette chips have gone down a storm.
05:11Great. Tracy, when you finish, the photographer's here.
05:14Sorry, people, must dash. The press hate it when you keep them waiting.
05:20So, you know what we're after, don't you, Brian?
05:22Sure. I do this sort of stuff all the time.
05:25Ah, Tracy, say hello to Brian.
05:28Hello, sweetheart. What's your name?
05:31I hope you pay more attention than that to my photos.
05:34I'm Tracy. Elaine just said so.
05:37Tracy?
05:38There, she did it again.
05:43Right, well, let's give it a go then, shall we?
05:49Tracy, you're trying to get fostered, not applying for a job as an undertaker.
05:55So, don't the fool just seem like he would make over?
05:58Or just a smidge of lip gloss?
06:00Nothing, thanks.
06:01Are you sure? It makes you look so much better when you smile.
06:04I'm not going to smile.
06:06Lou, don't you want to get fostered?
06:08Course I do.
06:10We've got a plan. You're going along with the Tracy Beaker plan.
06:14Have you completely lost it?
06:18What are you doing?
06:20Disposing of the evidence.
06:23That's enough.
06:25We'll have to find somewhere else.
06:27Marsh!
06:32I hope you're not paying him for this.
06:34I've been here ages and he still can't get it right.
06:37It's hard to take a decent photo of a kid who refuses to smile.
06:41All right, you two.
06:43Let's try again, shall we?
06:45Right, Tracy.
06:47Watch the birdie.
06:59Fine. We'll go with what we've got, then.
07:02Tracy, you're done. Can you send Louise in, please?
07:05But when are we going to write my ad?
07:07I don't know.
07:09Tracy, you're done. Can you send Louise in, please?
07:11But when are we going to write my ad?
07:13I've already written it.
07:15What? You're a social worker, not a writer.
07:18You'll like it. Listen.
07:22Tracy is a lively, healthy, chatty ten-year-old
07:25who's been in care for a number of years.
07:28She has a few behavioural problems
07:30and needs firm, loving handling in a long-term foster home.
07:33Is that the best you could say?
07:35That I'm healthy?
07:37That's grown-up code for difficult!
07:39And how could you put all the stuff about behavioural problems?
07:42Your ad stinks and I hate it!
07:44Only mad people are going to want to foster me
07:47and it'll all be your fault!
07:49Tracy, wait!
07:56Elaine's written totally crunny stuff about me and my ad.
07:59Go and tell her that she has to change it.
08:01I'm sorry, Tracy. She's your social worker.
08:03It's up to her what gets written.
08:07No!
08:18Louise. That's a pretty name.
08:20Bet you've got a pretty smile to go with it.
08:23Oh, no, not another one who don't know how to smile.
08:26Come on, sweetheart. You can do better than that.
08:29Fantastic!
08:32All right, Mike?
08:34Maxie's in there. Cautions.
08:37Oh, no, Maxie!
08:47Yo, Beaker. What's going on?
08:49Elaine Le Payne's written totally crunny stuff for my Child of the Week ad.
08:53So I'm redoing it.
08:55I'm not going to do it.
08:57Elaine's written totally crunny stuff for my Child of the Week ad.
09:00So I'm redoing it.
09:02How many L's in Brilliant?
09:04Two.
09:06I wish I had a decent photo to go with it.
09:09Why don't you take your own?
09:11I would if I had a camera.
09:15Where are you going? You haven't just got here.
09:17Do you want a camera or not?
09:23Oh, Elaine, I want to see Tracy's ad.
09:25No, I can't think. Why? Anyway, it's on your desk.
09:28I'm just going to drop Brian off at the station. We'll talk when I get back.
09:31By the way, your toilet seems to be blocked.
09:39I've written your new ad!
09:41We're going with the one I've written, Tracy.
09:43You'll like it once you see the pictures written with the words.
09:46I left it with Jenny. I'll show you.
09:56LAUGHTER
10:04Next time you do courgettes,
10:06could you make them a little bit more flush-friendly?
10:08They haven't.
10:16Louise Govan, you traitor!
10:21Look at this.
10:23This ad is packed to look really sad,
10:25so people would want to come and rescue us.
10:27Don't know that that looks to do you any favours, Beaker.
10:30But it's your ad.
10:33Shall we?
10:35You've got one. Where from?
10:37Do you want to talk or take photos?
10:39Ah, you're going for the smile then.
10:41Yeah, you're right.
10:43This is the look that's going to get me fostered.
10:46People all around the world are going to be desperate to foster me
10:49when they see my new advert.
10:53MUSIC
11:03What are you doing?
11:05Do you want to be forced to eat more slimy green stuff?
11:07Thanks, guys.
11:11And above that, we'll have them for tea.
11:14I was going to do pizza and chips,
11:16but if you'd rather have these, I'm good with that.
11:18Now, shall I fry them, roast them, stew them
11:22or cut out the middleman and stuff them straight down the toilet?
11:25Sorry, Joke. We did try to tell you.
11:27I know. I didn't listen.
11:29We'll call it quits.
11:31But if you ever pick my vegetables again without permission,
11:34I'll boil them for a week
11:36and make you suck them mush up through a straw.
11:41WHISTLE BLOWS
11:45WHISPERS
11:48WHISTLE BLOWS
11:52WHISTLE BLOWS
11:55Just passing through, are we, Tracy?
11:58What are you doing with that?
12:00Well, at least it's right now.
12:02Have you a place in your hearts for dear little Tracy?
12:05Brilliant and beautiful, this sweet little girl needs a loving home.
12:09Very rich parents prefer it,
12:11as poor little Tracy needs lots of expensive presents
12:14to make up for her tragic past.
12:16Tracy, you've ruined it!
12:18What have you done to poor Louise?
12:20Who wants to foster Louise?
12:22She's very shy, but could be rewarding.
12:25Tracy Beaker, you're a one-off.
12:27Course I am. I'm not just Child of the Week.
12:30I am Child of the Year.
12:34Yeah, what a star.
12:38But on with my show.
12:43So today's the big day.
12:45I finally get rid of that bad Beaker stink from my bedroom.
12:48And how are you going to do that, little brain?
12:50Because my dad is the best dad in the whole world,
12:53and he's given me money and paint to redecorate your yucky walls.
12:58It will be like you're never even there.
13:01Thank you. Oi!
13:03This will just about cover all the pocket money advances you've had off me.
13:08You'll be pig sick when you see how great my room is next to your cruddy little pit.
13:12You're not the only one who can paint that room,
13:15but when I do it, it will be a million times better than yours.
13:19Everyone tries to steal my ideas.
13:22I'll have zebra print curtains,
13:25a film-style dressing table with some very special features,
13:30and a beautiful glittering mirror ball.
13:36It's not fair! How come Justine gets to paint her room and I don't?
13:40Because Justine's dad gave her the money for the materials,
13:44and because your room's not scheduled for a redec for another six months.
13:47Let Justine wait, then! My room's scratchier than hers!
13:50Tracy, I'm sorry, but there's nothing I can do.
13:53Why don't you give Justine a hand?
13:55I'd rather skip naked through the centre of town.
14:06This is going to be just like one of those TV makeover programmes, only better.
14:11Steady, steady, Anna. Be careful with that paint, will you?
14:14Maxi, put the hammer down!
14:21Can you keep it down a bit?
14:23Adele, listen, we could really use your artistic skills in here.
14:27It's not going to work, Mike.
14:28What?
14:29The flattery. I'm not helping.
14:31Who says I need help?
14:32Your face and these kids.
14:37Don't be. Mike, it's so tragic.
14:39Anyway, I'm busy. This project's got to be in on Monday,
14:41and I still ain't got a clue what to do.
14:43You're on your own, pal.
14:47No! No!
14:55Right. I want shelves over there, and a built-in unit over there.
15:00Hang on a second. Hang on. Hang on.
15:01First, we can't do built-in units.
15:04And secondly...
15:05Hiya, Trace. Have you come to help?
15:07Um, no. Actually, I've come to see Louise.
15:10Care to come down to the shop with me?
15:12I can't. I'm helping Justine.
15:14Louise, what do you think of this colour?
15:16Sorry, Trace.
15:20Hey, Peter! Fancy a gigabout?
15:22I can't right now. I'm on fabrics.
15:25Why don't you help?
15:26I don't want to go through someone else's old rubbish.
15:29Temper, temper.
15:30Don't want to get stuck in that naughty corner again, do you?
15:33If you're not careful, I'll... I'll... I'll stick you!
15:50You think you're so big, Justine Littlewood!
15:52Tracey! You wouldn't get us a cup of tea, would you?
15:54Get your own tea!
15:57I hate you all!
16:00Going well.
16:04KNOCKING
16:10Ben, it's Beaker. Meet me down by the shed.
16:13Why can't I have dead property curtains and a film star dressing table?
16:17It's my room!
16:19Justine, I don't think the budget will stretch that far.
16:21Ryan, will you cut that out?
16:23What about a mirror ball instead of the stupid light?
16:26Isn't that exactly what Tracey wanted?
16:28Yeah, but Tracey couldn't afford it.
16:30And neither can we.
16:31I'm going to paint the walls and put up a few shelves, all right?
16:33Is that all?
16:34Isn't it enough?
16:35It's not fair! My dad wouldn't let me have what I wanted!
16:45Ben!
16:47Yo, Beaker, what's up?
16:48I'm running away. That's what's up.
16:50They've all turned against me and I never want to see any of them ever again.
16:53So where to?
16:54Anywhere. Just as long as it's away from this dump.
16:57You've managed all right without a roof over your head.
16:59I want to be just like you.
17:03So let's go.
17:10Will you lot keep the noise down? I'm trying to work in here!
17:14So, are you going to show me where you sleep at night?
17:16What? I'd show you my country house.
17:19What happened to your mum and dad?
17:21I don't want to talk about it.
17:22Friends are more important, I reckon.
17:25Yeah, friends are good.
17:27I've got a new game on my phone.
17:29I'd better beat your height score.
17:36You're supposed to cut around the petals.
17:38Yeah, I was going to get to that.
17:43Stop!
17:45That's not pimento! That's peach! I hate peach!
17:50Put a bit more orange in it!
17:55What is that?
17:57A display unit. What's it look like?
17:59Not a display unit, that's for sure. It looks like rubbish!
18:02When did you get to be such a DIY expert?
18:10What do you think?
18:12Wow!
18:27Yeah!
18:33I've had loads of bedrooms before.
18:37But this is going to be the best ever.
18:58Maxi, stop it!
18:59No, no, no, no, no.
19:01Zita, take him and hold him down, will you, please?
19:07I think this colour looks great.
19:09No, it's a bit too orangey.
19:11Now what this needs is a bit of yellow.
19:17Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop!
19:19Now a bit of green.
19:23Stop!
19:25Now a bit of purple.
19:29Easy.
19:31Purple. Are you sure?
19:33Of course I'm sure. I've watched it on TV hundreds of times.
19:40Stop!
19:51Zak! You've ruined it!
19:53I didn't ruin it. I did exactly what you told me to do.
19:56No, you didn't. You did this on purpose.
20:00Steady, steady, Zak.
20:01All right, everyone, come on, let's go and get cleaned up and have some lunch.
20:04Come on. Out.
20:05Watch the paintings. Mind that painting.
20:07Where are you going? We haven't finished yet!
20:11I think he'll find we have.
20:14We could live here forever.
20:17Yeah. We don't need adults. They just get in the way of having a good time.
20:22Yeah. We don't need anybody.
20:26We can hunt for food, find wood for our fire.
20:30Who needs the dumping ground?
20:34Got anything to eat? I'm starving.
20:36I'm hungry too.
20:38Who needs the dumping ground?
20:41Got anything to eat? I'm starving.
20:43There's some chocolate in my bag. Hold on.
20:52Ben, are you all right?
20:54I flipped.
20:56Ow!
20:58Ow!
21:01Hope you haven't broken it.
21:02Ow!
21:05We need an ambulance.
21:06No, Tracy.
21:07But you've hurt yourself.
21:08Just leave me alone. I'm fine.
21:10You don't look it. I'm going to go and get help.
21:12No, Tracy!
21:19Your room finished then?
21:20Yeah. Finished as in wrecked.
21:22Good. Then I can get on my project in peace.
21:30Ow!
21:32That's a bad sprain you've got there, but I don't think it's broken.
21:35Tracy, have you got your stuff?
21:37Right, we've got to get you home. Where do you live?
21:4067 Abercrombie Road.
21:42I know it.
21:43Right, can you stand up on that leg?
21:44Mm-hm.
21:45Ready?
21:46Yeah.
21:47Go on then.
21:48All right? Here we go.
21:54Aren't you glad we had to go and get help?
21:56Wow! Did you see that house? It was huge.
21:59Ben's got a swimming pool.
22:01Are you staying in a squat at the moment?
22:03Is that where we're going?
22:05Is there room for me?
22:11I'd love it in a squat.
22:19Don't worry. We'll look out for each other.
22:30Oi, Justine!
22:31Justine!
22:32Adele wants her.
22:33What does she want?
22:34Come and ask her yourself.
22:40What's going on?
22:41Open your eyes.
22:44Ta-da!
22:51So, Justine, our team of designers arranged this transformation in less than two hours.
22:56What do you think?
22:57I love it.
22:59That can't be those grey bits of wood. They're beautiful.
23:03That was handy, Ryan.
23:04Adele, tell us how much you had to spend and what was your best buy?
23:08Well, Ryan, I had £20, some willing helpers and a wreck of a room, but my best buy were the spray paints.
23:14You did all this on 20 quid?
23:17Yeah, which means you still owe me for those pocket money advances.
23:20What are you doing?
23:21Taking pictures of my college design project.
23:23I should ace it, would you reckon?
23:29Right, here we go.
23:33Why are we stopping here?
23:40Ben!
23:41What happened to you?
23:43I'm fine, Mum. Don't ask.
23:45Mum?
23:48Mum, this is Ben.
23:50Ben!
23:51Mum!
23:52Mum!
23:53Mum!
23:54Mum!
23:55Mum!
23:56Mum!
23:57Mum, this is my friend Tracy.
23:59He fell out of a tree. Don't worry, I think it's only a sprain. He'll be all right in a few days.
24:04Well, thank you very much for bringing him home.
24:07This is your mum?
24:09Nice to meet you, Tracy. Would you and your dad like to come in for some tea?
24:13I don't want any of your stinking tea! And he is not my dad!
24:17Have a good laugh, did you, in your fancy house with your fancy mum!
24:21I hate you, you big fat liar!
24:27I should go.
24:29Oh, right. Well, thanks again for bringing him home.
24:32Mind your ankle.
24:33Thanks.
24:41What was that all about?
24:43Nothing.
