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 some day.
00:22Tracy!
00:26Tracy!
00:31Tracy!
00:40But I did do my homework!
00:42Tracy, I know you didn't, I've spoken to your teacher.
00:45Mr Pugh is not my teacher, he's a student teacher, which shows how much you know.
00:50But I thought you liked him?
00:52Not anymore, he has all these stupid ideas.
00:55Now, who's going to read their homework out to the class?
01:02Be brave, no one will laugh.
01:10Tracy Beaker.
01:15Miss Sharp never made us read our homework out, I can't read it.
01:21Why not?
01:23Um, my homework book got stolen.
01:28Tracy, who'd want to steal your homework?
01:36A dog.
01:38Really? And what did this dog look like, hmm?
01:42You!
01:44Tracy Beaker, come back here!
01:46Oh, what, what?
01:47I haven't time to mess around today!
01:49Tracy, I've got an interview, come back to the office now.
01:51Must I? She has to eat.
01:54Tracy can eat all she likes once we've solved the mystery of the missing homework.
01:58But I did do it!
02:00Tracy, please.
02:01She did do it!
02:03Zack, really? You know that rhyme, liar, liar, pants on fire?
02:07She did, I saw her!
02:09She did, didn't she? We all saw her.
02:13This isn't helping, she must learn to tell the truth!
02:16I am not a liar!
02:18No, your problem is that you can't tell the difference between what's true and what you'd like to be true.
02:23If you wanted this to be a bar of chocolate, then that's what you'd say it was!
02:27And what's that, a bowl of strawberries and cream?
02:30Yes, Elaine, it was your fault!
02:33It's ruined!
02:34It was her fault!
02:36It was an accident, Jenny, wasn't it?
02:40Apologise.
02:41But...
02:42Tracy, apologise.
02:44She...
02:45Apologise!
02:46I'm sorry, Jake, for wasting your soup.
02:48And Jenny, I'm really sorry for ruining lunch and everything.
02:52And who else would you like to apologise to?
02:55I'm really sorry, Elaine, that you're my social worker.
02:57And I'm really sorry that you were mean.
02:59Right, the quiet room now, and you will stay there until you say sorry to Elaine!
03:03No, I won't!
03:04I'll stay there till she apologises to me!
03:11Perhaps you should have a chat with Tracy and her mum.
03:14Perhaps you should have a chat with Tracy in a little while.
03:16As a social worker, I would say that would be an inappropriate strategy.
03:20But what Tracy needs now is time alone, to reflect on her actions.
03:24You're only going to make things worse.
03:27Are you trying to teach me my job, Jenny?
03:29I mean, you're only going to make the stain worse.
03:32It needs warm water.
03:36If I was in trouble at school, I'd just tell my dad.
03:39He always sticks up for me.
03:41Well, we haven't all got a dad, alright!
03:43Tracy's got a mum!
03:44Except she's never around.
03:46Who's she got to stick up for her?
03:48If we don't help her get this sorted, no one else will.
03:50It's Tracy's own stupid fault.
03:52She'd done her homework.
03:53She didn't have to lie about losing her book.
03:55She did do it.
03:56What?
03:57You heard me tell Elaine.
03:58I thought you were just saying it.
04:00No, really, I saw her do it in the living room.
04:02Grown-ups never believe us.
04:04So what happened to it?
04:07The mystery of the disappearing homework.
04:12You love writing, Tracy.
04:14Are you quite sure you did your homework?
04:16Yes, I did!
04:17But I didn't have my homework book to read out from, did I?
04:21But Tracy, isn't this your homework book?
04:27No!
04:42No!
04:50If Elaine's decided that Tracy didn't do her homework, then Tracy didn't do her homework.
04:53End of argument.
04:54So I'll never get her to change her mind?
04:56Not unless you can show her Tracy's book with her homework in it.
04:59But we haven't got Tracy's book, have we?
05:03I have had a great idea.
05:05Justine, find Zack and Peter!
05:07Who put you in charge?
05:11I have to get it clean.
05:13I've got an interview.
05:15It's a possible promotion.
05:17What will they think if I turn up looking like this?
05:20I can't cope with children, that's what they'll think.
05:23And I can, Duke, I can!
05:25Of course you can.
05:26I'm very good with children, it's just...
05:28It's just that Tracy Beaker's not very good at being a child.
05:33Elaine?
05:34Do you know you're very wet?
05:37Did Tracy's homework book look like this?
05:40Yeah, but it's got your name on it.
05:46Not anymore, it hasn't.
05:48But it's got your homework in it.
05:52Not anymore, it hasn't.
05:53You are going to get in such big trouble for that.
05:55But she's going to get Tracy out of even bigger trouble.
05:58How?
05:59Because we're going to forge our homework!
06:01No, I am!
06:03Her homework!
06:04No, I am!
06:06My writing's most like hers, only mine's neater.
06:10OK, Zak, what was the questions Tracy had to answer for her homework?
06:18How long are you going to be in here, Tracy?
06:20It depends on Elaine.
06:21It might be years and years and years and years.
06:24But I don't care, because I know in the end she'll come grovelling back.
06:27And will you forgive her?
06:29It depends how grovelly her grovel is.
06:31Think!
06:32I was sitting over there.
06:34And Tracy was sitting here, right?
06:37No, she was over there. She wanted to be near a mirror.
06:40Oh, with her face.
06:41That's it! I remember the first question.
06:43She had to describe what she looked like.
06:45Yes!
06:47Pardon?
06:49I said you were right.
06:51What happened to Tracy's homework is a mystery.
06:55I honestly believe that Tracy's telling the truth.
06:58That she did do her homework.
07:00Can't you just be a little bit easier on her?
07:02That would be disastrous.
07:04The golden rule of social work, Jenny, be consistent.
07:08All the books say so.
07:11What bothers me is why Tracy pretended her book was lost.
07:15Tracy doesn't just lie for the sake of it.
07:18Shouting doesn't help, Jenny.
07:21All I'm trying to say is that...
07:25Sometimes, Elaine, you can be so pig-headed,
07:28you shouldn't be letting really weird kids like Tracy be here.
07:35Write this. I have sticky-up black hair,
07:37which makes me look like I've seen a ghost.
07:39It's nice hair.
07:41And matchstick arms and legs a frog would be proud of.
07:45That's not fair.
07:46Oh, just right.
07:48I have an ordinary face.
07:51With little piggy eyes.
07:53That's not true.
07:54She's got shiny brown eyes.
07:56Have you been gazing into them?
07:58No.
07:59I'll sort it.
08:00What were the other questions?
08:02I don't know. She never spoke to me after that.
08:04Not till she finished.
08:06What did she say?
08:07Ouch.
08:08Why?
08:09Because I threw a cushion at her.
08:11She started it.
08:12She threw a pencil case at me and scratched a worksheet at me.
08:15Worksheet?
08:16Yeah.
08:18Oh.
08:24Ooh.
08:32What's it say?
08:33Write a paragraph about your home family.
08:37Who wants to write about the boring dumping ground?
08:42I wonder what Tracy would have put.
08:44Peter?
08:45Peter!
08:48What's the hurry, Peter?
08:50It's something important.
08:53A secret.
08:54Ah, I'm good with secrets.
08:56There's a big pile of flower pots in your shed.
08:59That's not a secret. I know that already.
09:01Tracy sometimes uses it as a place to hide things.
09:04The things she doesn't want anyone else to see.
09:07Ah.
09:13Don't tell Tracy that I told you.
09:15Told me what?
09:16Don't tell Tracy that I told you.
09:18Told me what?
09:46Quite a good forgery, innit Adele?
09:48Yeah, not bad at all.
09:49Will Elaine believe it?
09:51Well, didn't Tracy say that a dog stole her book?
09:53So?
09:54There are no teeth marks.
09:56There are now.
09:58Wouldn't a dog scrunch it up?
10:17What do you want, Peter?
10:19I thought you wouldn't see this.
10:21It's Tracy's homework book.
10:24Look on the last bit.
10:36Oh.
10:39Perhaps I better talk to her.
10:47Tracy.
10:50Tracy?
10:52You've read it!
10:53You've read my homework!
10:55You had no right!
10:56It was only Mr Pew who was supposed to read it!
11:00Did you think the class would laugh at you?
11:02I do understand, Tracy.
11:04You don't understand anything!
11:06You're a social worker!
11:07Bug off, Elaine!
11:17There's no need for me to describe myself to you for homework, Mr Pew.
11:22I'm the one who makes you laugh, remember?
11:24I don't mind you laughing.
11:26You laugh because you think my jokes are good.
11:29Some people laugh at me because they think I'm strange.
11:33My mum never laughs at me.
11:35Just smiles.
11:37She's smiling when she comes to pick me up from school.
11:40All the other kids are dead jealous.
11:42She smiles when we're in the garden.
11:44It's so big.
11:46I ride my pony without having to leave home.
11:48Or my mum.
11:50And if her friends invite her out, she says,
11:53no way, I just want to be at home with Tracy.
11:56The end.
12:01Elaine, look what we found.
12:03We solved the mystery of the disappearing homework.
12:05Tracy can come out now.
12:07You know, you thought Tracy was going to come out.
12:09Tracy can come out now.
12:11You know, you thought Tracy was lying.
12:13Sue wanted to see Tracy's homework book.
12:16But I've just seen Tracy's book.
12:21So, whose book is this?
12:23It's mine.
12:25A bit battered, isn't it?
12:28A dog stole it.
12:32Don't say a word.
12:34Not until you've heard me out.
12:37I've always told you that if someone's in the wrong,
12:41then she should be prepared to admit it and say she's sorry.
12:45You can't make me!
12:47Tracy, I'm apologising to you.
12:50You did do your homework and...
12:54I was wrong to call you a liar.
12:57And I'm sorry about the soup.
13:00Thank you.
13:03Oh, you've managed to sort out your differences then.
13:06I think so.
13:08Tracy now knows that the truth is very, very important.
13:11And you won't ever throw soup again.
13:13What about strawberries and cream?
13:15Why'd you stand on that?
13:17Just checking.
13:20Elaine, you'd better be getting off to your interview.
13:23Don't worry about it. It looks fine.
13:25You look really nice, doesn't she?
13:27Elaine, I'd like to take this opportunity of saying
13:30how very, very nice you look.
13:32But, unfortunately, I can't.
13:34Why?
13:36Cos I now know the truth is very, very important.
14:00I can see a better place
14:02Doesn't matter what may come my way
14:05Believe me now
14:07I will win someday
