0:00:21 > 0:00:26May-Li says I speak my mind, but who else's mind would I speak?
0:00:26 > 0:00:27Grown-ups are weird.
0:00:29 > 0:00:32Say my mind, that's definitely one of the qualities
0:00:32 > 0:00:35people admire the most.
0:00:35 > 0:00:39I don't know why Mike fancies you. You're mean!
0:00:39 > 0:00:41'I'm not afraid to ask the difficult questions.'

0:00:43 > 0:00:46'Lots of people don't say what they mean because they're worried
0:00:46 > 0:00:50'about upsetting someone's feelings, or something soft like that.'
0:00:50 > 0:00:53The winner is...Floss.

0:00:56 > 0:00:58- Loser!- What is the prize?

0:01:00 > 0:01:02Well, I'm glad you got run over!

0:01:07 > 0:01:09'I am good at that, too.'
0:01:11 > 0:01:13No...you didn't?
0:01:16 > 0:01:18- Oh, I did. - I was on the last chapter!
0:01:18 > 0:01:22Shame(!) Now you'll never know what happens.
0:01:22 > 0:01:26- Unless you give me my CD back. - No chance.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28- I'm not giving in to your blackmail. - Suit yourself.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33The Jodys of this world don't frighten me,
0:01:33 > 0:01:36and that's another one of my many qualities.
0:01:36 > 0:01:40I'm Fearless Floss, the...Fearless?
0:01:40 > 0:01:45Even weird stuff doesn't scare me. Bring it on, that's what I say!

0:02:18 > 0:02:20'You need to be Fearless Floss!'
0:02:21 > 0:02:24I've got him cornered. Run!

0:02:34 > 0:02:37Hello. I'd never hurt you.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39You're safe now.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44My best friends in the Dumping Ground.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46Ooo, that's a hard one.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48- TV:- Everyone wants a piece of you
0:02:48 > 0:02:50when you're on the fast track to mega stardom.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53LAUGHTER
0:02:53 > 0:02:55Don't laugh! Watch and learn!
0:02:55 > 0:02:59- TV:- When I'm famous, everyone will say they were my best friend.
0:02:59 > 0:03:04But if I had to choose one person right now...
0:03:05 > 0:03:07..it would have to be Harry.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10We hit it off from the start.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12Hello. I'm Harry.
0:03:14 > 0:03:18'I suppose he was like an older brother showing me the ropes.'
0:03:21 > 0:03:25Lily nearly died when she fell off the roof.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27She went up there because she was so unhappy.
0:03:27 > 0:03:31And Carmen nearly fell from a bridge when she ran away from Elektra.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33That's when I saved Jeff from a poisonous snake.
0:03:36 > 0:03:37'And there was a lot to take in.'
0:03:41 > 0:03:42Hi, Faith, this is Floss.
0:03:50 > 0:03:54Don't worry about it. People here take things all the time.
0:03:54 > 0:03:55Carmen even stole Jeff once.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58- 'An awful lot to take in.'- Orange?
0:03:59 > 0:04:01The police think they've found my brother, Razz.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03What do you mean, think?
0:04:03 > 0:04:06They think they've found his body.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08You mean, he's...dead?
0:04:08 > 0:04:10For quite a long time.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13Leave me alone.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16The only way they can tell if it's Razz is if our DNA matches.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18That's why I went with the police.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21'Luckily, I had Harry to help me settle in.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24'And that's why I always go out of my way
0:04:24 > 0:04:26'to make new people feel welcome.'
0:04:26 > 0:04:28You've got Frank's old room.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30If you don't like it, you're allowed to paint it.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32Who asked you, ginger nut?
0:04:32 > 0:04:35The social worker said I'm only going to be here for one night.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38Good! Because I thought I liked you, but I don't!
0:04:38 > 0:04:41'It's good to welcome people to their new home.'
0:04:42 > 0:04:45- Hello.- Who are you?- (I'm Floss.
0:04:45 > 0:04:49(I'm hiding because Jody and Carmen might try to kill me.
0:04:49 > 0:04:54(And I'm going to be here for quite a long time,
0:04:54 > 0:04:57(so you might have to get some of my stuff).
0:04:57 > 0:05:00A famous man once said, "I have a dream".
0:05:01 > 0:05:03And so do I.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06My dream will definitely come true.
0:05:06 > 0:05:10My dream is that the whole world will know
0:05:10 > 0:05:16and love the amazing showbiz entertainer that is Floss Guppy.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19'You'll have noticed my amazing sense of humour.'
0:05:19 > 0:05:23What did the policeman say to the noisy carrot?
0:05:23 > 0:05:27"I'm arresting you for disturbing the peas!"
0:05:27 > 0:05:29'Some of my more experimental work
0:05:29 > 0:05:32'has led me into the world of puppetry.'
0:05:32 > 0:05:35What's the first thing you remember about being in care?
0:05:35 > 0:05:39Let me introduce you to my friends, Bob Dragon and Milly Moo.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41So, Bob Dragon, would you like to finish this story?
0:05:41 > 0:05:44- HIGH-PITCHED: - Yes, Floss, I would love to.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47- So, me and Milly...- Floss, get out!
0:05:47 > 0:05:51- You've ruined it! Get out!- No!
0:05:51 > 0:05:53'But my greatest love...'
0:05:53 > 0:05:55Want to see some dancing?
0:05:55 > 0:05:58- '..is dance.'- OK. - 'It's my gift to the world.'
0:06:03 > 0:06:06- Did you like it?- It was very good.
0:06:08 > 0:06:09How good?
0:06:09 > 0:06:14'But following the showbiz dream isn't for the faint-hearted.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17'You have to be determined.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20'And there will always be knock backs.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22'There's no getting away from that.'
0:06:22 > 0:06:24You know that trick?
0:06:24 > 0:06:27Well, I don't really know how to say this, but you're sacked.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29What?!
0:06:29 > 0:06:32But you said I was the bendiest.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34Yeah, maybe, maybe not.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36- I hate you.- Sorry. That's showbiz for you.
0:06:36 > 0:06:40'Auditions are an emotional rollercoaster.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42'Even if you end up getting the part.'
0:06:42 > 0:06:45- Shut up!- But I need to tell you something.- Just shut up!
0:06:45 > 0:06:47Because you wouldn't let me practise
0:06:47 > 0:06:51on this most important day of my life, I've been cast as an...
0:06:51 > 0:06:53as an...egg!
0:06:53 > 0:06:56JODY LAUGHS
0:06:56 > 0:06:59Look, Floss, you'll be a great egg.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01You'll be the best egg ever!
0:07:01 > 0:07:03I won't be the best egg ever
0:07:03 > 0:07:07BECAUSE FLOSS GUPPY IS NOT PLAYING AN EGG!
0:07:07 > 0:07:09- TV:- I didn't want to get pigeonholed
0:07:09 > 0:07:12into playing one kind of part too early.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15CHUCKLES: Floss just made a really funny joke.
0:07:15 > 0:07:19- Did I?- Yeah. Not wanting to be pigeonholed as an egg. Get it?
0:07:19 > 0:07:22- TV:- The thing is, though,
0:07:22 > 0:07:26being such a beloved artist can be a heavy burden to bear.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29- I'm sure Jeff would like to see you dance the dance of an egg.- No.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31- He wouldn't.- Sorry, Billie.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36I don't think Floss wants to see your costume designs.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38Hang on.
0:07:38 > 0:07:42'People will beg you to bring some light into their little lives.
0:07:44 > 0:07:48'And in the end, you have to give the public what they want.'
0:07:48 > 0:07:51Ah, you were born to do this, Floss. Go on!
0:07:51 > 0:07:54Oh! Here we go, it's dying swan time.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56Oh! Marvellous!
0:07:56 > 0:07:58What's Floss Guppy's thing?
0:08:00 > 0:08:05Well, when I grow up, as well as being a world-famous entertainer,
0:08:05 > 0:08:09I'm going to be a highly-successful businesswoman.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12Mike says I could be the next Lord Sugar.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14But without the beard
0:08:14 > 0:08:17and ginger and a girl!
0:08:17 > 0:08:21'I am a natural at business, unlike some others I could mention.'
0:08:21 > 0:08:23Can we have our wages now?
0:08:23 > 0:08:28Four hours at 75p an hour has got to be £5 each.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30No. Four hours?
0:08:30 > 0:08:34Do I look stupid? You can't add up. It's about...
0:08:34 > 0:08:36£2.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39- Isn't it more like one?- Harry!
0:08:39 > 0:08:42Will you let me do the business deals next time?
0:08:42 > 0:08:44'To succeed in the cut-throat world of business,
0:08:44 > 0:08:47'you need to be open to new opportunities.'
0:08:47 > 0:08:50Why are you with a random, weird girl in our garden?
0:08:50 > 0:08:52That's my sister. You'd better go.
0:08:53 > 0:08:57- Did she just give you money?! - No.- Yes, she did.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59She gave me a pound to show her around.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01She's never been inside a children's home.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04- Why didn't you tell us that, dumbo? - I cant believe it!
0:09:04 > 0:09:07- I never thought of it before! - Thought of what?
0:09:07 > 0:09:10Doing tours around the Dumping Ground.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12It's my most brilliant business plan ever!
0:09:12 > 0:09:15'You need to be better than the competition.'
0:09:15 > 0:09:17Billie's going to be well jel with this.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20Our tour's going to be way better than her random one.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24Each bedroom door has to have a sign on it.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26'You need vision.'
0:09:26 > 0:09:30Mike, have you ever considered getting Ashdene Ridge T-shirts?
0:09:30 > 0:09:33- No.- My parents dumped me in care and all I got was this T-shirt?
0:09:33 > 0:09:37'And I'm afraid to say that sometimes you have to be ruthless.'
0:09:37 > 0:09:41We should join together. We'll help you hand out your leaflets.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43Billie, don't trust her.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45Pass!
0:09:45 > 0:09:46Hey!
0:09:46 > 0:09:49'And this is an important one.'
0:09:49 > 0:09:54When I say grasshoppers, you have to hide.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57- DOORBELL - Grasshoppers! Grasshoppers!
0:09:59 > 0:10:01Eurgh!
0:10:01 > 0:10:04'You need to have a Plan B up your sleeve.
0:10:06 > 0:10:10- Grasshoppers! - Floss? Toni? Down here now.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13- Forget the money, just go! - Er...excuse me!
0:10:13 > 0:10:15Who are you two? Hey! Lads!
0:10:17 > 0:10:20They just followed us in.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22We don't have a clue who they are.
0:10:26 > 0:10:30I love secrets, me. Knowing stuff that others don't.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34And if it's something really disgusting about someone
0:10:34 > 0:10:38and you don't want it to get out, well...
0:10:39 > 0:10:41..your secret's safe with me.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45Floss? They're mine!
0:10:45 > 0:10:48You'll get whatever you want at your new place!
0:10:49 > 0:10:51- Give it back!- Or what?
0:10:51 > 0:10:54I'll tell your foster family that you eat your own bogeys
0:10:54 > 0:10:57and keep your toenails in a box!
0:10:58 > 0:11:00You're not having the pens.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04'Some people are naturals at keeping secrets,
0:11:04 > 0:11:07'like, say you've got the classic problem
0:11:07 > 0:11:09'of hiding a noisy chicken.'
0:11:09 > 0:11:11COCKEREL CROWS
0:11:13 > 0:11:15- Argh!- 'Let's face it, we've all been there.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18'And while some of us know just what to do...'
0:11:18 > 0:11:20Close your chicken eyes.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23'..others are clueless.'
0:11:23 > 0:11:25Lovely day to start my fitness routine!
0:11:25 > 0:11:27It's like being back at Glastonbury!
0:11:27 > 0:11:29MUSIC PLAYS / COCKEREL CROWS
0:11:29 > 0:11:32Was that...was that a chicken?
0:11:32 > 0:11:34Oh, no! It's just my phone, you see.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36- Got it set to farmyard animals! - What?
0:11:36 > 0:11:39You know, it goes, like, moo!
0:11:39 > 0:11:41And baa! And a neigh!
0:11:41 > 0:11:44- COCKEREL CROWS - Oh! Oh, that must be it now!
0:11:44 > 0:11:47'Once, I had this really big secret.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49'I needed to sort something out
0:11:49 > 0:11:52'before Harry went off to be fostered.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56'The thing was...' Go away.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59'..I had to solve a little problem that had cropped up.
0:11:59 > 0:12:03'It might not have been entirely not my fault.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06'Although it wasn't me who had suddenly moved the giraffe posts.'
0:12:06 > 0:12:09I'm taking Jeff with me.
0:12:09 > 0:12:10- Give him back!- No!
0:12:15 > 0:12:17Jeff's mine! I only lent him!
0:12:17 > 0:12:19BANGING
0:12:19 > 0:12:23- TV:- OK, I'm only putting this next bit in because May-Li said
0:12:23 > 0:12:26we had to be totally honest.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29And, like she said, it's not as if the whole
0:12:29 > 0:12:33Dumping Ground is going to be gathered around watching this.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35Floss, open up!
0:12:35 > 0:12:37- KNOCKING - Floss!
0:12:43 > 0:12:45You can have him.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48Well, we certainly are learning something now.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51I bet that won't be in your showbiz autobiography.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53- The day I did in a cuddly giraffe! - LAUGHTER
0:12:53 > 0:12:56- May-Li, you said it was private! - (Sorry.)
0:12:57 > 0:12:59- LAUGHTER - Shut up!
0:13:00 > 0:13:02- TV:- So that's why I was sneaking into town.
0:13:02 > 0:13:06'To get a new Jeff.'
0:13:06 > 0:13:07I'm sorry, Harry.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10I didn't mean it.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12I was just angry that you're going.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19Good as new.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21Looks like you've got two Jeffs.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24Do you still want him?
0:13:24 > 0:13:26So that is the moral of the story.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29You can't have too many giraffes.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32When I'm rich and famous, I'll have a room full of them.
