0:00:07 > 0:00:10Big day. Lauren's got an interview for a photography course.

0:00:10 > 0:00:12SHUTTER CLICKS She's got her heart set on it.

0:00:13 > 0:00:15No!

0:00:15 > 0:00:16What?

0:00:16 > 0:00:18Soz.

0:00:18 > 0:00:19Put it back, right there!

0:00:19 > 0:00:21Stop stressing - you're going to burst something.

0:00:21 > 0:00:25I need to be the best of the best of the best, Millie.

0:00:25 > 0:00:27I need to be the best, best-ever, best...

0:00:27 > 0:00:29OK! I get it.

0:00:29 > 0:00:32Oi, Lauren, take a picture of what makes your heart beat faster.

0:00:32 > 0:00:34- A cheesecake?- No, me.

0:00:34 > 0:00:36All right. OK.

0:00:36 > 0:00:38Head up a bit.

0:00:38 > 0:00:40- SHUTTER CLICKS - Bit more.

0:00:40 > 0:00:43I'm worried about her. She's pretty wound-up about this.

0:00:43 > 0:00:44And where Lauren's concerned...

0:00:44 > 0:00:47- Now dab.- Oh, sorry, mate.

0:00:47 > 0:00:49No! What did you do that for?

0:00:49 > 0:00:52Things have this habit of NOT going according to plan.

0:01:23 > 0:01:25Well, this is it - the big moment

0:01:25 > 0:01:28that's going to make or break me forever.

0:01:28 > 0:01:31Well, we're so proud you've made it this far, even if...

0:01:31 > 0:01:34it means that we won't see so much of you.

0:01:34 > 0:01:36- She's going to nail it.- Course she is.

0:01:36 > 0:01:38Why don't you just coast through on charisma? Works for me.

0:01:38 > 0:01:41- Thanks, Leo. I'll keep that in mind. - DOOR OPENS

0:01:41 > 0:01:42Lauren, will you take a quick shot

0:01:42 > 0:01:44of me for my personal training flyers?

0:01:44 > 0:01:46- Aren't you a teacher?- It's my summer side-line.

0:01:46 > 0:01:49- It'll only take a sec.- OK.

0:01:49 > 0:01:52Got it. I'll send that to you later. Got to go or I'll miss my train.

0:01:52 > 0:01:55- Good luck!- Good luck!- See you later!

0:01:55 > 0:01:57- Goodbye!- She's going to do it.

0:01:57 > 0:01:59And she'll turn me into the world's top male model.

0:01:59 > 0:02:03- Boy, are you deluding yourself. - What?- I hope Lauren's OK.

0:02:03 > 0:02:06Never seen her quite so nervous.

0:02:06 > 0:02:09She'll be fine. First Craig, now Lauren, aye?

0:02:09 > 0:02:11- Now Lauren what?- Leaving home, flying the nest,

0:02:11 > 0:02:13going out into the big, wide world.

0:02:13 > 0:02:15Oh, I hadn't really thought about that.

0:02:15 > 0:02:16Yeah, it's exciting isn't it?

0:02:16 > 0:02:18One minute they're taking their first steps,

0:02:18 > 0:02:22- the next they're getting their own flat.- Oh, Lauren? In her own flat?

0:02:22 > 0:02:25Oh, my little baby girl all grown up.

0:02:25 > 0:02:28How did that happen?

0:02:28 > 0:02:32What if she gets homesick or just sick?

0:02:32 > 0:02:35Who's going to bring her warm milk, you know, rub her back?

0:02:35 > 0:02:37I mean, she is still my little girl.

0:02:37 > 0:02:39Of course she is.

0:02:39 > 0:02:41But they've got to leave home sometime.

0:02:46 > 0:02:49- It's from Mum.- Why is Mum sending Grandma birthday cards?

0:02:49 > 0:02:53Just a wild guess but maybe it's her birthday?

0:02:53 > 0:02:55Didn't think old people still had birthdays.

0:02:55 > 0:02:57It's written on the calendar for next week.

0:02:57 > 0:03:00- We have to get her a present.- But what?- I don't know, something fancy.

0:03:00 > 0:03:03What kind of present would she like?

0:03:03 > 0:03:06What if we get her a pet? What about a peacock?

0:03:06 > 0:03:09- Peacocks are well fancy.- What's she going to do with a peacock?

0:03:09 > 0:03:11OK, two peacocks.

0:03:13 > 0:03:16- You can stop shrugging. - Sorry, just like the way it feels.

0:03:23 > 0:03:26Lots of photos of fruit.

0:03:26 > 0:03:28Yes.

0:03:28 > 0:03:32I like the colours of fruit.

0:03:32 > 0:03:35The way that they are so colourful and fruity.

0:03:39 > 0:03:43- Oh, who's this?- That is Declan, my boyfriend.

0:03:49 > 0:03:53- So...- You're not bad, technically these are solid,

0:03:53 > 0:03:55they even show promise.

0:03:55 > 0:03:58Thank you, you will not regret this, I promise.

0:03:58 > 0:04:00I'm going to work so hard,

0:04:00 > 0:04:02I'm going to be up by ten every day...

0:04:02 > 0:04:07However, anybody can take pictures of apples or pears or Declan,

0:04:07 > 0:04:11what I'm looking for is the unexpected.

0:04:11 > 0:04:13Unexpected fruit?

0:04:13 > 0:04:15Like kiwi?

0:04:16 > 0:04:19We want students who can see the world differently.

0:04:19 > 0:04:20I can take different photos of fruit,

0:04:20 > 0:04:24- I can go back to the drawing board.- No more fruit. Please.

0:04:25 > 0:04:28You have a good eye,

0:04:28 > 0:04:32but right now, we are looking for the best of the best of the best.

0:04:34 > 0:04:36I'm sorry, but this time...

0:04:38 > 0:04:40..it's a no.

0:04:46 > 0:04:49Sharon? Do I really look like that?

0:04:49 > 0:04:52- What's wrong with it?- So I do look like that?

0:04:52 > 0:04:56You're doing that thing you do with your lips but, yeah, that's you.

0:04:56 > 0:04:59But I've got a double chin and wrinkles.

0:04:59 > 0:05:01I can't use this for my flyers.

0:05:01 > 0:05:03I mean, who's going to want a fitness session with Grandad?

0:05:05 > 0:05:06Oh, you're back!

0:05:08 > 0:05:10So, how was it?

0:05:10 > 0:05:12On a scale of one to a million how great did they say you are?

0:05:12 > 0:05:16- Zero.- Zero being the best?

0:05:16 > 0:05:20No, she hated my photos and I couldn't stop talking about fruit.

0:05:20 > 0:05:23It was like I was applying to be a greengrocer.

0:05:23 > 0:05:26Hard luck. Here, have some grapes.

0:05:26 > 0:05:29- Oh, love.- Are you certain she said that she hated them?

0:05:29 > 0:05:31Those were her exact words?

0:05:31 > 0:05:33I can read between the lines, Millie.

0:05:34 > 0:05:36I wasn't unexpected enough.

0:05:36 > 0:05:39Someone tell me what's going on - did she get in or not?

0:05:39 > 0:05:42No, Declan, she didn't get in.

0:05:42 > 0:05:45Looks like that plan of being the world's top model is on hold, mate.

0:05:45 > 0:05:47What do they know, eh?

0:05:48 > 0:05:50- You're brilliant, babe.- No, I'm not.

0:05:50 > 0:05:53I'm just solid.

0:06:00 > 0:06:05OK, so we just write down everything we know about Grandma,

0:06:05 > 0:06:09and that will help us come up with an idea for a present. Go.

0:06:09 > 0:06:12- Erm... She's a grandma. - Obviously, what else?

0:06:12 > 0:06:15She has hair.

0:06:15 > 0:06:17Oh, actually, wait, that might be a wig.

0:06:17 > 0:06:21- Face it, we don't know what she's into.- We could just ask her.

0:06:21 > 0:06:25We can't just ask her, it won't be a surprise.

0:06:25 > 0:06:26Kids, who's for tea?

0:06:26 > 0:06:28Oh, Grandma, we were just having a bet

0:06:28 > 0:06:30on what your favourite colour is.

0:06:30 > 0:06:33Oh, whatever colour matches my mood that day.

0:06:36 > 0:06:38We're going to have to find out another way.

0:06:38 > 0:06:41You keep her distracted, I'm going to do some digging.

0:06:41 > 0:06:44Right. How's that going to help?

0:06:48 > 0:06:51It drives me nuts, Lauren's really good

0:06:51 > 0:06:54but she's under confident so she gets wound up and blows it.

0:06:54 > 0:06:58Meanwhile, Leo thinks that he can do anything.

0:06:58 > 0:07:01So I'm making him help me give Lauren a pep talk.

0:07:02 > 0:07:05OK. This'll be tricky. She's really hurting.

0:07:05 > 0:07:07Don't worry, I've got your back.

0:07:09 > 0:07:13- Hey, there are loads of other things you can do.- Get out.

0:07:14 > 0:07:16OK, you've got two choices.

0:07:16 > 0:07:19You can pull that blanket over your head and stay there forever...

0:07:19 > 0:07:22- Sold.- ..or you can reapply again next year.

0:07:22 > 0:07:25You've got 12 whole months to improve your skills.

0:07:25 > 0:07:27What skills? In case you haven't noticed,

0:07:27 > 0:07:29I am a terrible photographer.

0:07:29 > 0:07:32Lauren, solid does not mean terrible, it means...

0:07:33 > 0:07:34..dense.

0:07:34 > 0:07:36OK, OK, bad choice of words.

0:07:36 > 0:07:39It means strong and thick.

0:07:39 > 0:07:42Any time you want to just jump in here.

0:07:42 > 0:07:45Look, dude, you're taking this way too seriously.

0:07:45 > 0:07:47Life isn't all just a big joke,

0:07:47 > 0:07:50I had everything planned on starting my diploma this year.

0:07:50 > 0:07:54My whole future! And my future children's future.

0:07:54 > 0:07:57OK, but you've got to relax, you know.

0:07:57 > 0:07:59Let it go, let it flow kind of thing.

0:07:59 > 0:08:01Don't care so much.

0:08:01 > 0:08:05And sometimes just saying "I got this" makes it work out.

0:08:06 > 0:08:08- Translation?- We believe in you.

0:08:08 > 0:08:11- Do you? Really?- Yes. Really.

0:08:11 > 0:08:15Just please don't be so afraid of messing up that you won't

0:08:15 > 0:08:17take risks, just fool around.

0:08:17 > 0:08:19Yeah. Say, "I'm so awesome,

0:08:19 > 0:08:21"I couldn't take a bad picture if I tried!"

0:08:21 > 0:08:25- Come on, world, bring it! - Oh, you idiot.

0:08:25 > 0:08:28SHUTTER CLICKS Lauren, what are you doing?

0:08:28 > 0:08:30Fooling around. Thanks for the advice, Millie.

0:08:30 > 0:08:33Wait a minute, you better not post that.

0:08:33 > 0:08:35This won't take long, I've been practising.

0:08:35 > 0:08:37Why've you been practising animal noises?

0:08:37 > 0:08:40Because, if I learn the noises I can learn their language.

0:08:43 > 0:08:46GRUNTS

0:08:46 > 0:08:48What's that?

0:08:48 > 0:08:51It's a bear, duh. Right, see if you can get this one.

0:08:51 > 0:08:53SQUAWKS

0:08:55 > 0:08:59- Anteater?- No, pelican! Right.

0:09:01 > 0:09:03SQUELCHING

0:09:04 > 0:09:07Giant squid.

0:09:07 > 0:09:09POPPING

0:09:09 > 0:09:11OK, that's all the animal noises. Bye.

0:09:17 > 0:09:19I'm not deleting it.

0:09:19 > 0:09:22Mum, she took a photo of me without permission.

0:09:22 > 0:09:24I was just trying to capture you in an unguarded moment.

0:09:24 > 0:09:26But that's an invasion of privacy.

0:09:26 > 0:09:30Mum, she's turned into a pepper...whatsit.

0:09:30 > 0:09:34Paparazzi. Don't overreact, Millie, it's just a photo.

0:09:34 > 0:09:36Oh, Lauren! Just give me a chance to do my hair.

0:09:36 > 0:09:40No, that's the point, I'm trying to capture things

0:09:40 > 0:09:43in those little unexpected moments in life.

0:09:43 > 0:09:46Well, people at least deserve to know when to expect it.

0:09:46 > 0:09:48- SHUTTER CLICKS - Argh!

0:09:48 > 0:09:52- Mike!- What? I just lost a whole jar of kale I pickled myself.

0:09:52 > 0:09:55Lauren, just a thought but maybe you shouldn't only take pictures of us?

0:09:55 > 0:09:57There's a whole world out there.

0:09:57 > 0:10:02You're right. World, get ready for your close-up.

0:10:05 > 0:10:07- What did you get? - We hit the jackpot.

0:10:07 > 0:10:09I found Grandma's photo album.

0:10:09 > 0:10:11Sweet. It's bound to have some clues.

0:10:15 > 0:10:18These are all just family photos. That doesn't tell us anything.

0:10:18 > 0:10:20Maybe if there was like a photo of an aeroplane,

0:10:20 > 0:10:22we could've got her a parachute jump.

0:10:22 > 0:10:25We are still no closer to knowing what she likes.

0:10:31 > 0:10:35- Gotcha! Cheese! - Lauren, what are you doing?

0:10:35 > 0:10:38I'm just capturing people being real,

0:10:38 > 0:10:41you don't mind if I hang out here and take a few pics, do you?

0:10:41 > 0:10:43Great, thanks. Just do what you'd normally be doing.

0:10:43 > 0:10:47- I'm not here, I'm invisible. - Hi, Lauren, what's going on?

0:10:49 > 0:10:52They've arrived, they've arrived! My flyers are here.

0:10:52 > 0:10:54Oh, I thought you weren't very keen on that photo.

0:10:54 > 0:10:56I gave them a little digital touch-up. Nothing much.

0:10:56 > 0:10:59Now, that's more like it.

0:11:00 > 0:11:03A little touch-up? Mike, this looks nothing like you.

0:11:03 > 0:11:08- Yeah, it does.- You even changed your eye colour. And those muscles.

0:11:08 > 0:11:11Well, I was slightly enhanced my natural physique.

0:11:11 > 0:11:13You look like The Rock. What are you going to do

0:11:13 > 0:11:16when people show up and you look nothing like this?

0:11:16 > 0:11:19The important thing is getting the clients in the first place.

0:11:19 > 0:11:22Now if you'll excuse me, I've got some flyers to go hand out.

0:11:25 > 0:11:28Jake, Fran, would you like a slice of cake?

0:11:28 > 0:11:32- Why, that would be lovely. - You're spoiling us.

0:11:34 > 0:11:38Guys, this isn't working, this is not how you usually are.

0:11:38 > 0:11:40Of course it is!

0:11:40 > 0:11:42No fingers.

0:11:49 > 0:11:52- No! - SQUELCH

0:11:55 > 0:11:57SHUTTER CLICKS

0:11:59 > 0:12:01THEY LAUGH

0:12:04 > 0:12:08# Girls on film

0:12:08 > 0:12:10# Girls on film...#

0:12:10 > 0:12:12Oi!

0:12:12 > 0:12:16- # Girls on film...# - Oh!

0:12:29 > 0:12:31# Girls on film

0:12:31 > 0:12:34# Two minutes later

0:12:34 > 0:12:36# Girls on film...

0:12:37 > 0:12:39# Girls on film

0:12:39 > 0:12:41# Got your picture

0:12:41 > 0:12:43# Girls on film... #

0:12:44 > 0:12:47Why are you taking pictures of me in my sleep?

0:12:47 > 0:12:48It's for my new portfolio.

0:12:48 > 0:12:50Don't worry, you were only dribbling a little bit.

0:12:50 > 0:12:53I'm just going to go get Mum and Mike before they wake up.

0:12:53 > 0:12:56Why the rush? You've got a year till you need to reapply for college.

0:12:56 > 0:13:00Someone might take me this year if I have an edgy enough portfolio!

0:13:00 > 0:13:02You shouldn't be rushing, you need to improve first.

0:13:02 > 0:13:05- You said you believed in me. - I do!

0:13:05 > 0:13:07I'm going to the bathroom.

0:13:09 > 0:13:12- No!- Please yourself.

0:13:15 > 0:13:18This is a nightmare. I can't even say anything

0:13:18 > 0:13:20because it was me that encouraged her to keep going.

0:13:20 > 0:13:23Lauren, you've got to get people's permission

0:13:23 > 0:13:24before you take their photos!

0:13:24 > 0:13:26What have I done?

0:13:28 > 0:13:32- Grandma, you know it's your birthday this week...- You remembered!

0:13:32 > 0:13:35Of course we remembered. As if we wouldn't remember a thing like that.

0:13:35 > 0:13:38Well, we decided to spend the whole day doing your chores for you.

0:13:38 > 0:13:40Oh, but I like doing my chores. I'd be bored without them.

0:13:42 > 0:13:44But of course we're going to get you a very nice present too.

0:13:44 > 0:13:48Oh, that's so sweet. I can hardly wait.

0:13:49 > 0:13:52- Why did you say that?- I don't know, it just slipped out.

0:13:52 > 0:13:54Now we have to actually buy her something.

0:13:54 > 0:13:56What about a vase?

0:13:56 > 0:13:58- Of flowers?- No, a vase for hamburgers!

0:13:58 > 0:14:00Of course a vase for flowers!

0:14:00 > 0:14:02I'm not getting her that, it's unacceptably boring.

0:14:02 > 0:14:05We obviously can't agree so we're just going to

0:14:05 > 0:14:07have to each get her something.

0:14:09 > 0:14:11Leo, do you think any of your friends

0:14:11 > 0:14:13want me as their fitness instructor?

0:14:13 > 0:14:16Whoa. Only if they want to be coached by Frankenstein.

0:14:17 > 0:14:20- Anybody home?- Hey, Olly.- Hi. - Hey, what happened to you?

0:14:20 > 0:14:23I thought you were away potholing with the fam this weekend.

0:14:23 > 0:14:25I had a nasty fight with the door.

0:14:25 > 0:14:27Hi, everyone! My new photos are here!

0:14:27 > 0:14:29Get ready to be blown away.

0:14:31 > 0:14:33State of Mike on that one!

0:14:33 > 0:14:35I look like I've been in a storm with my overcoat on.

0:14:35 > 0:14:37Well, you had been working out.

0:14:37 > 0:14:40Honestly, Mike, I don't think I realised quite how vain you are.

0:14:40 > 0:14:44Oh, Lauren! Why would you take that?

0:14:44 > 0:14:46I look like Jaws.

0:14:46 > 0:14:50- Oh, what? You've made me look like a right loser.- You don't like them?

0:14:50 > 0:14:53You took one of me dancing, of course I don't.

0:14:53 > 0:14:56This, however, this is priceless.

0:14:56 > 0:14:59Dec, I never had you down as a picker.

0:14:59 > 0:15:01That's not me, I don't... I've never picked my nose, ever.

0:15:01 > 0:15:03The camera doesn't lie, mate.

0:15:03 > 0:15:06- Oh, hey, Olly. - Oh, hey, Millie.

0:15:06 > 0:15:09What are these? Lauren, I look awful.

0:15:09 > 0:15:12Don't blame me, you're the one that told me that I shouldn't give up.

0:15:12 > 0:15:15Yeah, cos you shouldn't, but these are just...

0:15:15 > 0:15:18Don't say it - you obviously all hate them.

0:15:18 > 0:15:20Only cos we all look embarrassing.

0:15:21 > 0:15:24What's this? This is not how you looked in the photo that I took.

0:15:24 > 0:15:28- I just made a few tweaks.- Because mine obviously wasn't good enough.

0:15:28 > 0:15:31Well, that's it, forget college, forget photography.

0:15:31 > 0:15:33Lauren, wait.

0:15:42 > 0:15:43Hey, what did you get her?

0:15:43 > 0:15:45A little something that goes around your neck.

0:15:45 > 0:15:48Something called a scarf.

0:15:48 > 0:15:49What sort of scarf?

0:15:49 > 0:15:52- A yellow one.- I got her a scarf too.

0:15:52 > 0:15:54Green. You have to take yours back.

0:15:54 > 0:15:57- Take mine back? You take yours back. - I don't want to.

0:15:57 > 0:15:59Well, I don't want to.

0:16:01 > 0:16:03Hey, Grandma. You know how Mum and Tony

0:16:03 > 0:16:05never got round to painting the kitchen?

0:16:05 > 0:16:07Wouldn't it be nice if you did it for them?

0:16:07 > 0:16:10I was thinking a nice fresh green, what do you think?

0:16:10 > 0:16:13Oh, no, never liked green.

0:16:13 > 0:16:16- What about yellow? - Not calm enough.

0:16:16 > 0:16:18Are there any other colours you like?

0:16:18 > 0:16:20Think of flowers - they come in all sorts of colours.

0:16:20 > 0:16:23- You mean as a wallpaper pattern? - Or a birthday gift?

0:16:24 > 0:16:27I had flowery wallpaper once.

0:16:27 > 0:16:29It kept attracting bees for some reason.

0:16:31 > 0:16:33That's it, scarfs go back.

0:16:33 > 0:16:35No, wait, I can paint flowers on mine.

0:16:35 > 0:16:37Who knows if she likes the colour yellow.

0:16:37 > 0:16:40Maybe we'll have thought of something by her next birthday.

0:16:40 > 0:16:43OK, so you mentioned flowers.

0:16:43 > 0:16:46- So?- So, she never said that she didn't like them.

0:16:55 > 0:16:59- DOOR HANDLE TURNS - Lauren?

0:16:59 > 0:17:01Talk to me.

0:17:01 > 0:17:07- Please.- I just thought if I could be good at one thing, but I'm not.

0:17:07 > 0:17:11- Face it, your daughter's a loser. - Of course you're not.

0:17:11 > 0:17:13You take great pictures.

0:17:13 > 0:17:17It's just that you showed us ourselves, warts and all.

0:17:17 > 0:17:20- And who wants to see their warts? - I do.

0:17:20 > 0:17:23Just took a bit getting used to, that's all.

0:17:24 > 0:17:27Mum! You said, "I look like Jaws."

0:17:27 > 0:17:29In a good way.

0:17:29 > 0:17:33I never thought I'd have such clever, artistic daughters,

0:17:33 > 0:17:36honestly you can do whatever you want.

0:17:36 > 0:17:38No, that's Millie.

0:17:38 > 0:17:42Lauren, you do know Millie really looks up to you?

0:17:42 > 0:17:44What is there to look up to?

0:17:44 > 0:17:48I mean, apart from the fashion sense and the cool music taste

0:17:48 > 0:17:51and the great friends but, like, aside from that.

0:17:51 > 0:17:54- Declan.- Now I know you're lying. - No, I'm not!

0:17:54 > 0:17:57You take great pictures because you really see people

0:17:57 > 0:17:59and then you show them what they're like.

0:17:59 > 0:18:02Just comes as a bit of a shock sometimes,

0:18:02 > 0:18:04especially to Mike.

0:18:05 > 0:18:09Yeah. That's what the photography teacher said that they wanted.

0:18:10 > 0:18:13Shame I blew my interview babbling about fruit.

0:18:13 > 0:18:16Don't worry, there's always next year.

0:18:16 > 0:18:18Thanks, Mum.

0:18:20 > 0:18:22Can't believe she tried to show me up like that.

0:18:22 > 0:18:25- My own girlfriend.- You sure know how to pick them.

0:18:25 > 0:18:28Well, aside from the finger up the nose, this isn't a bad shot of you.

0:18:30 > 0:18:33Guess you've got a point. Sort of.

0:18:33 > 0:18:36These are good photos, even the one of me watching Love Beach.

0:18:36 > 0:18:40Don't you see? This is about us, not Lauren. We're all too vain.

0:18:40 > 0:18:41So what are we going to do?

0:18:41 > 0:18:44We're going to get Lauren believing in herself again.

0:18:48 > 0:18:50It's been over 24 hours

0:18:50 > 0:18:53and not a single person has booked a fitness session with me.

0:18:53 > 0:18:56- Ah.- Go on, say it. - Fine - I told you so.

0:18:56 > 0:18:58I told you nobody would want you

0:18:58 > 0:19:00if you sent out these freak show flyers.

0:19:00 > 0:19:03What a waste of money, and they upset Lauren to boot.

0:19:03 > 0:19:07Thing is, nobody wants to go to a fitness class with a super hunk.

0:19:07 > 0:19:09So, I'm not a super hunk.

0:19:09 > 0:19:11Well, you're my hunk and I love you.

0:19:11 > 0:19:15If my gym instructor looked like this, I'd be scared.

0:19:15 > 0:19:17Who could live up to it? Who'd want to?

0:19:17 > 0:19:21Yeah, maybe you're right. I'll have to print off another batch

0:19:21 > 0:19:23and I know just the photo to use.

0:19:30 > 0:19:33SNEEZING What's with her?

0:19:33 > 0:19:37- Don't know. She might have a cold. - Must be some pollen in the air.

0:19:38 > 0:19:40Or hay fever. GROANS

0:19:50 > 0:19:55"A good substitute for chocolate is carob powder and vegetable oil."

0:19:55 > 0:19:59- She's allergic to chocolate? - You are kidding me.

0:20:06 > 0:20:08This is totally sure-fire.

0:20:08 > 0:20:10I remember she was looking at these in the shop window

0:20:10 > 0:20:12and she liked them so much.

0:20:14 > 0:20:16She already bought herself one.

0:20:16 > 0:20:18This is not happening!

0:20:42 > 0:20:44I give up!

0:20:44 > 0:20:47Yeah, I'm all out of cash.

0:20:47 > 0:20:50We have to admit to Grandma that we don't have anything for her.

0:20:50 > 0:20:52We failed, we're basically the worst grandkids ever.

0:20:52 > 0:20:55- Wow, how are you going to tell her that?- I'm not, you are.

0:20:55 > 0:20:58Me? This is your fault.

0:20:58 > 0:21:00You're the one who found out it was her birthday.

0:21:00 > 0:21:03- We were better off not knowing. - How can you say that?

0:21:03 > 0:21:05Easy! Should've just got her a vase.

0:21:05 > 0:21:07You said it was too boring.

0:21:07 > 0:21:10Yeah, that was before I knew she was impossible to buy presents for.

0:21:10 > 0:21:13- OK! Let's just both tell her. - Fine.

0:21:14 > 0:21:17But bagsie I stand behind you.

0:21:18 > 0:21:21Great, bye!

0:21:21 > 0:21:24We've gone behind Lauren's back to put on a show of her pictures.

0:21:24 > 0:21:26It's called Exposed Unposed.

0:21:26 > 0:21:31I'm hoping it gets her confidence back. But it won't if no-one comes!

0:21:31 > 0:21:33Leo, you got the word out on social media?

0:21:33 > 0:21:36All the major platforms covered as instructed, Chief.

0:21:36 > 0:21:39OK. We've got to convince Lauren that she's good at what she does.

0:21:39 > 0:21:43- Even if she does make us look like a bunch of freaks.- Oh, what? No!

0:21:46 > 0:21:48OK, now I've got to make a risky phone call.

0:21:53 > 0:21:56We just didn't want you to have nothing to open on your birthday.

0:21:56 > 0:21:58Yeah, that would be the worst birthday ever.

0:21:58 > 0:22:00I'd never get over it if that happened to me.

0:22:00 > 0:22:02We bought you scarves and it turned out that

0:22:02 > 0:22:03you didn't like green or yellow.

0:22:03 > 0:22:07On walls, yes! But clothes and scarves, I like both colours.

0:22:08 > 0:22:10Sorry we let you down.

0:22:10 > 0:22:13Listen, when you get to my age, birthdays are no biggie -

0:22:13 > 0:22:16- I've had so many. - How many exactly?

0:22:16 > 0:22:18Jake!

0:22:18 > 0:22:21I remember one when I was a little girl,

0:22:21 > 0:22:23my parents took me to Egypt.

0:22:23 > 0:22:27- I never knew you went to Egypt! - Oh, we went all over the place.

0:22:27 > 0:22:29- My dad studied insects. - Your dad was an insect man?

0:22:29 > 0:22:32Yes, he discovered a lot of new species.

0:22:32 > 0:22:36The big faced moth, the little faced moth, the moth faced ant.

0:22:36 > 0:22:38We had literally no idea.

0:22:38 > 0:22:42Oh, it was there that I kindled my lifelong love of pottery.

0:22:42 > 0:22:45This is like a gold mine for gift ideas. I can't wait till next year.

0:22:45 > 0:22:48- Who knew?- Oh, I've done a lot of things you don't know about.

0:22:48 > 0:22:51You only ever needed to ask, you know.

0:22:52 > 0:22:55TEXT MESSAGE Text from Millie.

0:22:55 > 0:22:57Turns out we do have a birthday surprise for you after all.

0:22:57 > 0:22:59But we're going to have to take you out to see it.

0:22:59 > 0:23:01Yeah! What?

0:23:06 > 0:23:09- What do you reckon? - This is the one, defo.

0:23:11 > 0:23:15I thought you'd be interested in the photo exhibition they've got on.

0:23:15 > 0:23:17Millie, you're trying to rub it in my face...

0:23:22 > 0:23:24Those are my photos.

0:23:24 > 0:23:25Glad you could make it.

0:23:25 > 0:23:28Look how many people came to your show.

0:23:28 > 0:23:30Exposed Unposed.

0:23:30 > 0:23:33And I just heard someone ask for the price list.

0:23:33 > 0:23:35I don't get it, people want to buy my photos?

0:23:35 > 0:23:38- Of you lot?- Well, duh, you're good.

0:23:38 > 0:23:41- And we're handsome. - And thanks to your picture,

0:23:41 > 0:23:43I've had loads of interest already.

0:23:47 > 0:23:48People, come on, gather round.

0:23:48 > 0:23:52Now, I'd like to introduce you all to the artist responsible for these

0:23:52 > 0:23:54pictures - my big sister, Lauren.

0:23:54 > 0:23:56CHEERING

0:24:00 > 0:24:03Can't believe people actually like my photos.

0:24:03 > 0:24:06Why wouldn't they? They're great.

0:24:06 > 0:24:08And not a banana to be seen.

0:24:08 > 0:24:12- What are you doing here? - Millie invited me.

0:24:12 > 0:24:16- She can be quite persuasive. - Yeah, tell me about it.

0:24:18 > 0:24:20Look, this is all just a work in progress.

0:24:20 > 0:24:23Hey! Lauren, could we buy one of your pictures?

0:24:23 > 0:24:26Of course! Price to be negotiated at a later date.

0:24:26 > 0:24:28Thanks, cos we're well broke.

0:24:31 > 0:24:34You should've brought these pictures to your interview.

0:24:34 > 0:24:37They're new, I took your advice.

0:24:39 > 0:24:42Lauren, we do have a vacancy at the college

0:24:42 > 0:24:44for a photographic technician.

0:24:44 > 0:24:49If you're interested you might be a great fit for it and it would help

0:24:49 > 0:24:51- improve your skills.- Really?

0:24:51 > 0:24:57Of course. And next year I'm pretty confident you'll be even better.

0:24:57 > 0:25:01- Are you interested?- Yes! Yes, thank you.

0:25:01 > 0:25:03I'd love to. Thank you.

0:25:04 > 0:25:08- Happy birthday!- Oh, I love it!

0:25:08 > 0:25:10We look so happy, all of us!

0:25:10 > 0:25:12You didn't have to.

0:25:12 > 0:25:15So tell us more about your dad's moth-faced ant.

0:25:15 > 0:25:17I have an extreme close-up on here.

0:25:17 > 0:25:19BOTH: Argh!

0:25:21 > 0:25:24Oh, while we're here, we should get a family photo.

0:25:24 > 0:25:27- Lauren, is that OK? - Oh, I don't have my camera.

0:25:27 > 0:25:29Yeah, you do. Come on, everyone!

0:25:29 > 0:25:32- Lauren's got to be in it. - I'll set a timer.

0:25:36 > 0:25:39SHRIEKS

0:25:39 > 0:25:41Well done, everyone, that photo's ruined.

0:25:41 > 0:25:43Right, Lauren, let's do another one.

0:25:43 > 0:25:46No, if you ask me, that was pretty perfect.

0:25:46 > 0:25:49I couldn't think of a more honest family portrait.

0:25:55 > 0:25:57So everything is going to work out,

0:25:57 > 0:26:00though not exactly as Lauren planned.

0:26:00 > 0:26:02Being offered a job because of her photos is great,

0:26:02 > 0:26:05even though we didn't like them at the start.

0:26:05 > 0:26:08I'm so proud of her, but I'll never let on, she'll be a nightmare.
