0:00:19 > 0:00:20Ta-da!

0:00:20 > 0:00:23Get to try exciting new food.

0:00:23 > 0:00:24HE GROANS

0:00:24 > 0:00:28We promise, it's an experience you'll never forget.

0:00:28 > 0:00:29What?

0:00:29 > 0:00:30No, no, no...

0:00:30 > 0:00:31Brilliant.

0:00:31 > 0:00:32But remember,

0:00:32 > 0:00:36this is a place where random chaos can strike at any time.

0:00:37 > 0:00:39So you have to be prepared...

0:00:39 > 0:00:41My face!

0:00:41 > 0:00:42..for pretty much anything.

0:00:44 > 0:00:47THEY SCREAM

0:00:47 > 0:00:49And that's why we've made this video blog.

0:00:50 > 0:00:53Now, we've been through all this so you don't have to.

0:00:55 > 0:00:57This time on The Dumping Ground Survival Files...

0:00:57 > 0:00:59Change.

0:00:59 > 0:01:01Trying to keep up in an ever-changing world.

0:01:01 > 0:01:03Having to adapt to survive.

0:01:03 > 0:01:06Believe me, this blog could change your life.

0:01:10 > 0:01:12Right. You listening? OK, let's begin.

0:01:12 > 0:01:15Now, there's one thing you need to know in this place.

0:01:15 > 0:01:18And that's... to expect the unexpected.

0:01:18 > 0:01:19Life is all about change.

0:01:19 > 0:01:21Hello. I'm Harry.

0:01:21 > 0:01:23Especially in a care home.

0:01:23 > 0:01:27There are always new guys moving in, and old mates leaving.

0:01:27 > 0:01:28I'll be in touch.

0:01:28 > 0:01:31You get used to it - but that doesn't mean it's easy to deal with.

0:01:33 > 0:01:35Get in there!

0:01:35 > 0:01:38Sometimes you just suck it up...

0:01:38 > 0:01:40See you soon, kid.

0:01:40 > 0:01:43..but sometimes it hits you like a runaway train.

0:01:45 > 0:01:47Like when Sapphire left, cos she'd turned 16.

0:01:47 > 0:01:48That was OK for me,

0:01:48 > 0:01:51cos I got her room - well, half of it.

0:01:51 > 0:01:55# These are the days of change They still remain... #

0:01:55 > 0:01:57But Harry wasn't happy.

0:01:57 > 0:02:00# And the days of change are here to stay. #

0:02:00 > 0:02:02This is Sapphire's room.

0:02:02 > 0:02:06No, Harry, it was, but she don't need it any more.

0:02:06 > 0:02:08Rick and Tyler do. Hm?

0:02:08 > 0:02:10She wouldn't mind.

0:02:10 > 0:02:11Harry!

0:02:11 > 0:02:12Ugh...

0:02:12 > 0:02:15- Nobody can stay here forever. - Yeah, that's true.

0:02:15 > 0:02:17Sapphire's grown up now. She's got her own flat.

0:02:17 > 0:02:19How do you feel about that?

0:02:19 > 0:02:21I'm happy, cos Sapphire's happy.

0:02:21 > 0:02:23You didn't say that at the time, though, did you?

0:02:25 > 0:02:28Why can't I come and live with you?

0:02:28 > 0:02:31Harry, I'm not your mum.

0:02:31 > 0:02:34Come on, Harry. Saff's got to do her paintings for college.

0:02:34 > 0:02:36Oh, it's OK, the paintings can wait.

0:02:36 > 0:02:38We should go.

0:02:38 > 0:02:39Jeff wants to go.

0:02:39 > 0:02:41No!

0:02:41 > 0:02:43Leaving can be stressful.

0:02:43 > 0:02:45But when new people arrive, it can be even worse.

0:02:45 > 0:02:46If you're moving into this place,

0:02:46 > 0:02:50chances are you haven't exactly had a perfect life so far.

0:02:50 > 0:02:52So everyone has their issues.

0:02:52 > 0:02:53Some more than most.

0:02:53 > 0:02:57ALL SHOUT

0:02:57 > 0:03:00- Who's this?- Your new roommate.

0:03:00 > 0:03:04Yeah, maybe not the best start.

0:03:04 > 0:03:08But come on - my mum and brother had just been banged up,

0:03:08 > 0:03:10and it felt like I'd lost everything.

0:03:10 > 0:03:12And it seemed like nobody wanted me -

0:03:12 > 0:03:15not even The Dumping Ground.

0:03:15 > 0:03:16No, I don't want a roommate.

0:03:16 > 0:03:19- Especially one who stinks. - Er, Carmen!

0:03:19 > 0:03:22Some kids just don't want to be here.

0:03:22 > 0:03:24They don't even try and fit in.

0:03:24 > 0:03:28And others try a bit too hard - and then they get it wrong.

0:03:28 > 0:03:30Ta-da!

0:03:30 > 0:03:33Like Mo, with his ant theme park.

0:03:33 > 0:03:34The mind boggles.

0:03:36 > 0:03:39Mo, mate, what were you thinking?

0:03:39 > 0:03:42I was thinking I would build an ant theme park.

0:03:42 > 0:03:43OK. Yeah...

0:03:43 > 0:03:45Second question - why?

0:03:45 > 0:03:47Why not?

0:03:47 > 0:03:50It's a theme park treasure trail for ants.

0:03:50 > 0:03:52Those better not be my baby books!

0:03:52 > 0:03:56ALL SHOUT

0:03:56 > 0:03:57Stop it!

0:03:57 > 0:04:00He didn't mean any harm.

0:04:00 > 0:04:02ALL SHOUT

0:04:05 > 0:04:07I'll be straight with you.

0:04:07 > 0:04:09Fitting into Dumping Ground life isn't always easy.

0:04:09 > 0:04:13You've got to get used to us, and we've got to get used to you.

0:04:13 > 0:04:14But don't panic.

0:04:14 > 0:04:17It might take a bit of time - but it'll be OK in the end. Trust me.

0:04:18 > 0:04:21# Don't ever change... #

0:04:21 > 0:04:24Because we're all right when you get to know us.

0:04:24 > 0:04:26Most of us. Most of the time.

0:04:26 > 0:04:30It takes time to settle down into a new place, but you're not alone.

0:04:30 > 0:04:33We've all been through it, and we're here to help you.

0:04:33 > 0:04:36For a start, you're probably going to want to speak to this next guy.

0:04:36 > 0:04:38As the Dumping Ground's oldest resident,

0:04:38 > 0:04:40he's seen more change than most...

0:04:41 > 0:04:46OK, Frank. What's the biggest change you've seen in your life?

0:04:46 > 0:04:49Well, I suppose it was...

0:04:49 > 0:04:52when Grandad died.

0:04:58 > 0:05:02Then, when Liam left...

0:05:02 > 0:05:03Adios, Dumping Ground.

0:05:09 > 0:05:11You going without saying goodbye?

0:05:13 > 0:05:15I hate goodbyes, you know that.

0:05:16 > 0:05:18Come here, big fella.

0:05:19 > 0:05:21I know, mate. That was rough.

0:05:21 > 0:05:23But you've seen good changes too, right?

0:05:23 > 0:05:25- Yeah...- Such as?

0:05:25 > 0:05:27Well...

0:05:27 > 0:05:28When I met Jade...

0:05:30 > 0:05:31You're special.

0:05:31 > 0:05:32So are you.

0:05:38 > 0:05:40You see? Change can be good.

0:05:40 > 0:05:42Sometimes, life takes a turn for the better -

0:05:42 > 0:05:44just when you least expect it.

0:05:44 > 0:05:46Right, so whether change is good or bad,

0:05:46 > 0:05:48at least it shakes things up a little bit,

0:05:48 > 0:05:51- and without it, life would be pretty boring.- Hah! Like this video.

0:05:51 > 0:05:52Cheers, mate.

0:05:52 > 0:05:54Nobody's going to watch this snoozefest.

0:05:54 > 0:05:56Where's your razzle-dazzle?

0:05:56 > 0:05:57Where's your showbiz glamour?

0:05:57 > 0:05:59This is a video for new kids, not the X Factor.

0:05:59 > 0:06:04Good. Cos you, my friend, have got the "Zzz" factor.

0:06:04 > 0:06:05Moving on.

0:06:07 > 0:06:09Carmen, how do you cope with change?

0:06:09 > 0:06:10Well, it's just a part of life,

0:06:10 > 0:06:12so I just try to get on with things, really.

0:06:12 > 0:06:14Ha, ha! Yeah, right.

0:06:14 > 0:06:16You're the biggest drama queen in this place!

0:06:16 > 0:06:17- I'm the drama queen?!- Tyler!

0:06:17 > 0:06:20You are the one who's always trying to cause chaos here,

0:06:20 > 0:06:22running around, trying to stir things up.

0:06:22 > 0:06:24- But oh, no, I'm the drama queen. - Tyler!

0:06:24 > 0:06:26"Look at me, I'm Tyler, I tell not-funny jokes..."

0:06:26 > 0:06:29- That's it, keep it coming.- Tyler!

0:06:29 > 0:06:32- That's not attention-seeking, is it? - This is brilliant!

0:06:32 > 0:06:34- OK.- You're doing it right now!- Cut.

0:06:37 > 0:06:38One thing's for sure.

0:06:38 > 0:06:42When a new person barges into your life, it can get really annoying.

0:06:42 > 0:06:43As Lily found out.

0:06:44 > 0:06:46Ooh...

0:06:46 > 0:06:47Sorry.

0:06:51 > 0:06:53- It's broken. - It was an accident, Lil.

0:06:53 > 0:06:55I'll get you a new frame.

0:07:02 > 0:07:05Me and Dad were the most important people in each other's lives.

0:07:05 > 0:07:08Then he met Shannay and everything changed.

0:07:08 > 0:07:11Not all at once - but the changes just kept on coming.

0:07:12 > 0:07:14What is this?

0:07:14 > 0:07:17- A cat bowl?- It's Wilbur's.

0:07:17 > 0:07:18He's not living here, too.

0:07:20 > 0:07:21He can't. Shadow hates cats.

0:07:21 > 0:07:24- We don't actually know that. - Of course she does, she's a dog.

0:07:24 > 0:07:25All dogs hate cats.

0:07:25 > 0:07:29Or are you sending her back to the dog home? Is that the plan?

0:07:29 > 0:07:31- No!- Why not? You're changing everything else.

0:07:31 > 0:07:34Hey. Don't be like this, Lil.

0:07:34 > 0:07:38- You knew Shannay was moving in. - This isn't moving in.

0:07:38 > 0:07:41This is taking over.

0:07:41 > 0:07:44I couldn't believe that Dad was letting this happen.

0:07:44 > 0:07:48I know Shannay living with us is going to feel strange for a while,

0:07:48 > 0:07:52but we'll be fine. I promise you.

0:07:52 > 0:07:55I wasn't planning to rid of Shadow - Lily, I'd never do that.

0:07:55 > 0:07:58My old flatmate was going to keep Wilbur if they didn't get on.

0:07:59 > 0:08:02Look, I'm sorry we've started out all wrong.

0:08:02 > 0:08:04I really want this to work.

0:08:04 > 0:08:07- Do you?- Yeah.- Really?- Really.

0:08:07 > 0:08:08Then don't move in.

0:08:08 > 0:08:11- What?- Me and Dad are fine as we are.- Lily.

0:08:11 > 0:08:14- It's taken us ages to get this far, and you wouldn't understand.- I do.

0:08:14 > 0:08:18No, you don't! I helped him get better, it was me who did that.

0:08:18 > 0:08:21- I know you did, Lil. - Not so you could run off with her!

0:08:21 > 0:08:24Shannay's good for me. Good for us.

0:08:24 > 0:08:26It was like he became a completely different person.

0:08:26 > 0:08:29Like he'd forgotten everything I'd done for him.

0:08:29 > 0:08:30What about Poppy and Rosie?

0:08:30 > 0:08:32You gave them up because you couldn't handle more kids.

0:08:32 > 0:08:34They were settled at the Perrys'.

0:08:34 > 0:08:36And I've got Shannay now, it's different.

0:08:36 > 0:08:39So get Poppy and Rosie back and put that one into care.

0:08:39 > 0:08:41- You don't mean that.- Why not?

0:08:41 > 0:08:44- Get it adopted now, it'll never know the difference.- That's enough!

0:08:44 > 0:08:46- Easy, Lily.- Just admit that you love that baby more.

0:08:46 > 0:08:48That's not true.

0:08:48 > 0:08:52Shut up! What do you know about it? I hate you and your stupid baby!

0:08:52 > 0:08:53Lily!

0:08:58 > 0:09:00- Lily...- Just leave me alone!

0:09:00 > 0:09:03Sorry, Steve. I didn't see that coming.

0:09:03 > 0:09:06- GINA:- Are you OK, babes? - I think my waters have broken.

0:09:06 > 0:09:09Right, well, come on, come on. Take a seat, yeah?

0:09:09 > 0:09:13- It's..it's too soon. - How many weeks are you?- 36.

0:09:13 > 0:09:17Well, it's a little early, but...you'll be all right.

0:09:17 > 0:09:19- Girls, go and get some towels. - BOTH: OK.

0:09:23 > 0:09:24Guys, what's going on?

0:09:24 > 0:09:25Shannay's went into labour.

0:09:25 > 0:09:28- What?- She's having contraptions. - Contractions.

0:09:28 > 0:09:30I was scared, but it was all OK -

0:09:30 > 0:09:33Shannay had the baby and they were both fine.

0:09:33 > 0:09:36But now, Shannay was the one that wanted things to change.

0:09:36 > 0:09:38Shannay took him to her mum's.

0:09:40 > 0:09:42What? Why?

0:09:45 > 0:09:47She's had second thoughts, Lil.

0:09:48 > 0:09:51Us all living together isn't going to work.

0:09:51 > 0:09:53What?

0:09:55 > 0:09:58I realised that Shannay and Jonah had changed our lives -

0:09:58 > 0:10:00for the better.

0:10:00 > 0:10:02We needed them. And so, I changed my mind.

0:10:05 > 0:10:06It's beautiful!

0:10:06 > 0:10:07Well, open it, then.

0:10:12 > 0:10:15It's from me. To welcome him - both of you.

0:10:15 > 0:10:18It's kind of like a family tree.

0:10:18 > 0:10:23That's the baby, and that's you, and Dad, and me and my mum,

0:10:23 > 0:10:25and Poppy and Rosie.

0:10:25 > 0:10:28Cos we came first, and we'll always be here.

0:10:28 > 0:10:30But you're Dad's new family.

0:10:30 > 0:10:33Well, and the baby - and me.

0:10:33 > 0:10:34Lily!

0:10:34 > 0:10:37Cos I don't want it to be just me and Dad any more.

0:10:37 > 0:10:39You're not just saying that?

0:10:39 > 0:10:42Well, look, I've been split up from my sisters.

0:10:42 > 0:10:45I don't really want to be split up from him as well.

0:10:45 > 0:10:49Plus...I don't even know his name yet.

0:10:49 > 0:10:50It's Jonah.

0:10:50 > 0:10:52Jonah.

0:10:52 > 0:10:53Hey, Jonah!

0:10:55 > 0:10:59Right, now, of course change isn't just something that happens TO you.

0:10:59 > 0:11:01You can take control and change stuff yourself.

0:11:01 > 0:11:03- Ha, ha, good idea!- Oi!

0:11:03 > 0:11:05Now it's time for some decent questions.

0:11:05 > 0:11:09If you could change one thing about yourself, Faith, what would it be?

0:11:09 > 0:11:10I'd knock ten seconds off my 800m PB.

0:11:10 > 0:11:13Boring! Next...

0:11:13 > 0:11:15I'd like to be able to fly.

0:11:15 > 0:11:17Now we're talking.

0:11:17 > 0:11:19I don't really know what I'd change.

0:11:19 > 0:11:20How about that dress?

0:11:21 > 0:11:23Ow! Big bully.

0:11:23 > 0:11:25I'll take that, thank you.

0:11:25 > 0:11:27See, this is the problem.

0:11:27 > 0:11:29Some people try to make a change

0:11:29 > 0:11:31when there's absolutely no need at all.

0:11:33 > 0:11:36Take our fun-loving, camera-nicking friend

0:11:36 > 0:11:38and the day he decided it was time for a change.

0:11:40 > 0:11:41My name's Tyler.

0:11:41 > 0:11:43Tyler. Tyler.

0:11:45 > 0:11:46That's Tyler.

0:11:46 > 0:11:50And I have a very important job for the government.

0:11:50 > 0:11:53And people take me very seriously indeed.

0:11:54 > 0:11:57Yeah, what WAS that spy thing all about?

0:11:57 > 0:11:59That was all about me trying to be more grown-up.

0:11:59 > 0:12:01Because SOMEBODY told me I should.

0:12:01 > 0:12:04Who was it again?

0:12:04 > 0:12:06Fine, it was me. And this was why...

0:12:10 > 0:12:12She's coming! Ready?

0:12:12 > 0:12:14Three, two, one...

0:12:14 > 0:12:15It's coming!

0:12:15 > 0:12:17# Always a... #

0:12:23 > 0:12:24CRUNCH

0:12:26 > 0:12:27CRUNCH

0:12:29 > 0:12:30Tyler!

0:12:30 > 0:12:33THEY LAUGH

0:12:39 > 0:12:41Yeah. A water bomb fired by a catapult

0:12:41 > 0:12:44ends up going through my bedroom window by "mistake".

0:12:44 > 0:12:46Oh, my aching sides(!)

0:12:46 > 0:12:49You still actually find this funny?

0:12:49 > 0:12:50What? Oh, come on!

0:12:50 > 0:12:52It was comedy gold.

0:12:52 > 0:12:54The look on Elektra's face.

0:12:54 > 0:12:56I didn't look at Elektra's face.

0:12:56 > 0:12:59I couldn't take my eyes off my shredded albums.

0:12:59 > 0:13:01They'd survived years of moving,

0:13:01 > 0:13:03explosions, the fire...

0:13:03 > 0:13:05and the other fire.

0:13:05 > 0:13:07But now, they were plastic shrap.

0:13:07 > 0:13:09And, as if that wasn't bad enough,

0:13:09 > 0:13:11Tyler insisted on trying to cheer me up.

0:13:12 > 0:13:15- Everything's just a joke to you, isn't it?- Well...

0:13:15 > 0:13:17Elektra getting splattered is. You know that.

0:13:17 > 0:13:19What about my records?

0:13:19 > 0:13:20It's a smash hit!

0:13:21 > 0:13:23- Record breaker? - What's wrong with you?

0:13:23 > 0:13:26They're the only things my dad gave me that weren't nicked.

0:13:28 > 0:13:32We used to listen to them after I came back from school.

0:13:32 > 0:13:36The Jam, Squeeze, Style Council.

0:13:36 > 0:13:38I could sing to you instead.

0:13:38 > 0:13:39# Well, it's cool for cats

0:13:39 > 0:13:40# It's cool for cats! #

0:13:40 > 0:13:42Why can't you just grow up?

0:13:42 > 0:13:45'Ouch! Nobody wants to hear that.

0:13:45 > 0:13:48'I thought, "Am I really that annoying?"'

0:13:48 > 0:13:50Yes. You are.

0:13:50 > 0:13:54People look at me, and they just see funny boy Tyler.

0:13:54 > 0:13:56The Dumping Ground clown.

0:13:56 > 0:13:58'Sure, I'm a comedy legend.

0:13:58 > 0:14:00'But I'm so much more than that.

0:14:00 > 0:14:03'And I thought it was time for the world to see another side of me.

0:14:03 > 0:14:05'Starting by mending Rick's records.'

0:14:05 > 0:14:07Is that supposed to be funny?

0:14:07 > 0:14:09I was trying to fix it.

0:14:09 > 0:14:11What, by gluing them to your hands?

0:14:11 > 0:14:13I was trying to get into the groove.

0:14:14 > 0:14:15There you go again.

0:14:15 > 0:14:18- It was just a joke. - I don't know why I bother with you.

0:14:18 > 0:14:20You're clearly not right in the head.

0:14:20 > 0:14:23'And it wasn't just Rick who couldn't take me seriously.'

0:14:23 > 0:14:25Who here thinks I'm funny?

0:14:26 > 0:14:29You have to say that, cos you're my friend.

0:14:29 > 0:14:32- I think you're funny. - Johnny?- Why are you asking?

0:14:32 > 0:14:35Well, cos Rick says I need to grow up.

0:14:35 > 0:14:37- He's right.- OK.

0:14:37 > 0:14:39I tell a lot of jokes and play a lot of pranks,

0:14:39 > 0:14:41but I can do other stuff too.

0:14:43 > 0:14:45Why are you all laughing at me?

0:14:45 > 0:14:46Cos of your records!

0:14:46 > 0:14:49I'm not being funny, I'm trying to be serious right now!

0:14:49 > 0:14:51'So that's why I had to make some serious changes.'

0:14:51 > 0:14:52Argh!

0:14:52 > 0:14:55How's about we fill this up with treacle, then, eh?

0:14:55 > 0:14:57- I don't do bombs any more.- Why not?

0:14:57 > 0:15:00You were right. I need to start growing up.

0:15:03 > 0:15:06- He wants to be taken seriously. - Tyler?!

0:15:06 > 0:15:08But Tyler loves playing pranks!

0:15:08 > 0:15:10- Not any more, he doesn't. - But that's not who he is.

0:15:10 > 0:15:13You try and be someone you're not, and it'll just end up going wrong.

0:15:13 > 0:15:16Well, yeah. People aren't going to take you seriously

0:15:16 > 0:15:17if it's just all pretend.

0:15:17 > 0:15:21- You need to stay true to who you are.- Be proud to be different.

0:15:21 > 0:15:23I had to make a decision.

0:15:23 > 0:15:26Should I grow up and become a boring old fart like everyone else?

0:15:26 > 0:15:31Or should I stay true to myself, the hilarious joker that everyone loves?

0:15:31 > 0:15:33Now, that IS funny.

0:15:35 > 0:15:36There could only be one winner.

0:15:36 > 0:15:39Don't you dare!

0:15:39 > 0:15:41Tyler! I'm warning you!

0:15:41 > 0:15:44Mike! You'd better do something!

0:15:44 > 0:15:45Don't you dare!

0:15:53 > 0:15:55THEY GASP

0:15:59 > 0:16:01Elektra...

0:16:01 > 0:16:03I'm really sorry!

0:16:03 > 0:16:05I didn't mean to splatter you!

0:16:07 > 0:16:08Nice shot.

0:16:09 > 0:16:11Tyler's back!

0:16:11 > 0:16:12I decided to keep it real.

0:16:12 > 0:16:14Yeah, he did. He really is an immature idiot

0:16:14 > 0:16:16with the attention span of an ant

0:16:16 > 0:16:19- and the common sense of a garden gnome.- Ha, ha(!) Thanks.

0:16:19 > 0:16:21Don't go changing.

0:16:21 > 0:16:22I won't.

0:16:24 > 0:16:26So, what have we learnt so far about change

0:16:26 > 0:16:29to put into the Dumping Ground Survival Files?

0:16:29 > 0:16:32Well, none of us find it easy when things change.

0:16:32 > 0:16:34Whether it's old friends leaving, new arrivals turning up

0:16:34 > 0:16:37or unexpected surprises coming out of the blue.

0:16:37 > 0:16:40Now, it can be tough for even the most sorted person to cope

0:16:40 > 0:16:42when new stuff happens.

0:16:42 > 0:16:44Not that change always has to be bad.

0:16:44 > 0:16:47Now, Frank will tell you all about that one.

0:16:47 > 0:16:50And sometimes it's good not to get stuck in your ways.

0:16:50 > 0:16:53Mixing everything up a bit every now and then

0:16:53 > 0:16:55can keep things interesting.

0:16:55 > 0:16:57It would be a very boring world

0:16:57 > 0:16:59if everything just stayed the same forever.

0:17:02 > 0:17:05Change is hard, and don't let anyone tell you any different.

0:17:05 > 0:17:08Even adults - well, some "adults" -

0:17:08 > 0:17:11find it hard to accept that the world's moved on.

0:17:11 > 0:17:13- # A change - A change would do you good

0:17:13 > 0:17:15# Would do you good... #

0:17:15 > 0:17:18Like when the legendary Justine Littlewood tipped up.

0:17:18 > 0:17:21Now, we'd heard all about her from Tracy, our care worker,

0:17:21 > 0:17:25and they'd been winding each other up since they were in nappies.

0:17:27 > 0:17:28Tracy Beaker?

0:17:28 > 0:17:30Justine Littlewood?

0:17:30 > 0:17:32I'm an estate agent. I work for Wolfman and Kronk,

0:17:32 > 0:17:34- have you heard of them? - Yeah, they're massive.

0:17:34 > 0:17:36Well, last year I won their national sales award.

0:17:36 > 0:17:39- I was their youngest ever winner by, like, ten years.- Really?

0:17:39 > 0:17:41- That's amazing.- Yeah, amazing.

0:17:41 > 0:17:43What's wrong?

0:17:43 > 0:17:45Nothing. Just hay fever.

0:17:46 > 0:17:48You don't get hay fever.

0:17:48 > 0:17:53I used to, when I was little, Must've come back.

0:17:53 > 0:17:55Like Justine?

0:17:55 > 0:17:58Who does she think she is? "I've won an award.

0:17:58 > 0:18:00"Got a big fat diamond ring."

0:18:00 > 0:18:03Mike's just lapping it up.

0:18:03 > 0:18:05- I thought she didn't want sugar. - Yeah.

0:18:05 > 0:18:06'But they were grown up now,

0:18:06 > 0:18:08'so they couldn't fight the way they used to.'

0:18:08 > 0:18:09They had to get sneaky.

0:18:09 > 0:18:12Years ago, they would scrap over Mickey Mouse alarm clocks

0:18:12 > 0:18:15and who got a telly in their bedroom.

0:18:15 > 0:18:17But now they had new weapons -

0:18:17 > 0:18:19their boyfriends.

0:18:19 > 0:18:21First it was competitive hand holding...

0:18:21 > 0:18:26and when that ended as a draw, it was time for the penalty snog-off.

0:18:26 > 0:18:30It's funny. When Tracy was a kid, she used to lie a lot.

0:18:30 > 0:18:32She'd say her mum was a big Hollywood star,

0:18:32 > 0:18:35and that she was going to go and live with her and be a star too.

0:18:37 > 0:18:41She was so convincing I almost believed her. Almost.

0:18:43 > 0:18:45I'd believe you.

0:18:45 > 0:18:47- You're a star to me.- Thanks, Seth.

0:18:47 > 0:18:48It's true.

0:18:48 > 0:18:511-0 to Tracy.

0:18:51 > 0:18:53Or so it seemed.

0:18:53 > 0:18:55Some of us are trying to eat.

0:18:55 > 0:18:57And of course, eating was the next challenge...

0:18:57 > 0:19:01- What was the last dare, again? - To eat a worm. And I did it.

0:19:01 > 0:19:03She says so on page 36.

0:19:03 > 0:19:06- Tracy says a lot of things. - Say what you like, Justine.

0:19:06 > 0:19:07You know I ate that worm.

0:19:10 > 0:19:12Well, there's an easy way to prove it, isn't there?

0:19:12 > 0:19:14What?

0:19:15 > 0:19:16This.

0:19:18 > 0:19:20Tracy, don't.

0:19:22 > 0:19:24It was like the last ten years hadn't happened.

0:19:24 > 0:19:26Before you knew it, history was repeating itself

0:19:26 > 0:19:27before our very eyes.

0:19:29 > 0:19:31Tracy became a completely different person.

0:19:31 > 0:19:34She'd stopped being our responsible care worker

0:19:34 > 0:19:36and turned into a sulky little kid.

0:19:36 > 0:19:38It was brilliant!

0:19:38 > 0:19:39How far would it go?

0:19:39 > 0:19:41She bottled it. I knew she would.

0:19:41 > 0:19:43Would she actually eat a worm?

0:19:43 > 0:19:44Tracy, don't. Don't!

0:19:44 > 0:19:46Augh...

0:19:46 > 0:19:49ALL GROAN

0:19:49 > 0:19:51Now do you believe me?

0:19:51 > 0:19:53I believed you all along. Just wanted to see you do it again.

0:19:57 > 0:19:58Oh, she's going to be sick!

0:19:58 > 0:20:00SHE COUGHS

0:20:00 > 0:20:02Tracy?

0:20:02 > 0:20:03Tracy?!

0:20:09 > 0:20:11You ate a worm?

0:20:11 > 0:20:12Again?

0:20:12 > 0:20:14Tracy ate a worm.

0:20:14 > 0:20:18Tracy, Tracy, Tracy.

0:20:18 > 0:20:22Tracy...ate...a...worm.

0:20:22 > 0:20:24Twice.

0:20:24 > 0:20:28So, it was clear that Tracy hadn't changed. Nor had Justine.

0:20:28 > 0:20:29It just goes to show,

0:20:29 > 0:20:32just cos you're getting older doesn't mean you're getting wiser.

0:20:34 > 0:20:37# I said something better change... #

0:20:37 > 0:20:39Take a good look at this guy.

0:20:39 > 0:20:42He claimed to be a boiler repair man.

0:20:42 > 0:20:44But no. He's my dad.

0:20:45 > 0:20:47- Hey, son.- Are you off your head?

0:20:47 > 0:20:49Well, it's good to see you, too!

0:20:49 > 0:20:52- Dad, you've got to turn yourself in, pronto.- Rick, calm down.

0:20:52 > 0:20:55I'm not on the run, OK? They moved me to an open prison three weeks ago.

0:20:55 > 0:20:57I come and go as I please, now.

0:20:57 > 0:20:58So what's with the get-up?

0:20:58 > 0:21:01- I wanted to see you.- By sneaking in?

0:21:01 > 0:21:04I didn't want social workers watching our every move, OK?

0:21:04 > 0:21:06Still got the moves, then.

0:21:06 > 0:21:08Well, it helps if you're properly motivated, you know?

0:21:08 > 0:21:10I missed you, son.

0:21:10 > 0:21:13Right, so the rubbish disguises might change, but my dad doesn't.

0:21:13 > 0:21:14He always lets me down.

0:21:14 > 0:21:16And every single time, it's,

0:21:16 > 0:21:18"Yeah, we're going to do it differently this time."

0:21:18 > 0:21:22If I had a penny every time I heard that, I'd have...

0:21:22 > 0:21:2423p.

0:21:24 > 0:21:28I wish I could turn back the clock, do things differently, I really do.

0:21:28 > 0:21:30It's all right, Dad.

0:21:30 > 0:21:33I'm lucky. Elmtree House is a good place.

0:21:33 > 0:21:34We're like one big family.

0:21:35 > 0:21:39I don't mean... I mean, not like you and Mum.

0:21:39 > 0:21:40- Obviously.- That's OK.

0:21:41 > 0:21:46Look, six months, then we'll both be out. We'll start somewhere new.

0:21:46 > 0:21:48We'll put this old life behind us.

0:21:48 > 0:21:50Sounds good to me.

0:21:50 > 0:21:54Get proper jobs, live like real people for once, you know?

0:21:54 > 0:21:55Be a family.

0:21:55 > 0:21:57- That's all I ever wanted, Dad.- Yeah.

0:21:57 > 0:22:00Now, the thing about my dad, though, is he's a man with a plan -

0:22:00 > 0:22:05or, should I say, a scam - for every occasion.

0:22:05 > 0:22:07What do you think you're playing at?

0:22:07 > 0:22:11- Nothing!- Don't give me that. You trying to steal my tools?- No!

0:22:11 > 0:22:13- Don't lie to me!- I'm not lying!

0:22:13 > 0:22:15That's what they all say.

0:22:15 > 0:22:16Who?

0:22:16 > 0:22:19Thieving little toerags like you.

0:22:21 > 0:22:22Now get lost!

0:22:22 > 0:22:24It's not his fault. He can't stop himself.

0:22:24 > 0:22:27You give him the chance to scam someone - even a total stranger -

0:22:27 > 0:22:28and this happens.

0:22:28 > 0:22:30He thinks he's a big man, roughing up a little kid?

0:22:30 > 0:22:32I'm not little! He was just big.

0:22:32 > 0:22:35Well, let me tell you something, the bigger they are,

0:22:35 > 0:22:37the harder they fall, yeah? You remember that.

0:22:37 > 0:22:38You want to teach him a lesson?

0:22:38 > 0:22:40What sort of lesson?

0:22:41 > 0:22:44There's a little old grift I know called the window show.

0:22:45 > 0:22:47You interested?

0:22:47 > 0:22:48The window show.

0:22:48 > 0:22:51The window show! That was awesome.

0:22:51 > 0:22:54An unbeatable combination of your dad's scheming mind

0:22:54 > 0:22:57- and an Oscar-winning performance from me.- Hmm.

0:22:57 > 0:23:01- My dad and Tyler. The dream team. - The dream team!

0:23:01 > 0:23:02Where was I? Oh, yeah.

0:23:02 > 0:23:04The window show.

0:23:04 > 0:23:06HE BANGS ON WINDOW

0:23:06 > 0:23:09Oi, you! Yeah, you big bully!

0:23:10 > 0:23:14HE IMITATES A MONKEY

0:23:27 > 0:23:30- What's Tyler doing?- I don't know.

0:23:30 > 0:23:33Oi, you! Yeah, you, you big ape!

0:23:35 > 0:23:36You little...

0:23:40 > 0:23:43You're witness, right? When I clock him one, he went for me.

0:23:43 > 0:23:46'Your dad rocks! What's your problem?'

0:23:46 > 0:23:49'No, the problem is, it starts out OK.

0:23:49 > 0:23:51'But Dad doesn't know when to stop.

0:23:51 > 0:23:53'He never has done.'

0:23:53 > 0:23:56- That was awesome! How much did you get?- Don't know, about 300 quid.

0:23:56 > 0:23:58- Whoa!- Here, take it.

0:23:58 > 0:24:00- Seriously?- Call it compensation.

0:24:00 > 0:24:02- You're kidding.- You earned it.

0:24:02 > 0:24:05- But, if anyone asks where this comes from...- This never happened.

0:24:05 > 0:24:08But it did. Tyler, you take that money, you become a thief.

0:24:08 > 0:24:10Frank's a witness, and so is Jade.

0:24:10 > 0:24:13- Whoa, Rick, I thought you trusted your mates.- I do.

0:24:13 > 0:24:15And more to the point, they trust me.

0:24:15 > 0:24:18- Or at least they did. - Hey, where are you going?

0:24:18 > 0:24:19To take this back.

0:24:19 > 0:24:20He can't do that! Tell him!

0:24:20 > 0:24:22Rick, look, you saw what he did to him back there,

0:24:22 > 0:24:25- it's just a bit of payback, that's all. Bit of justice.- Yeah!

0:24:25 > 0:24:29Dad, don't use that excuse. You did it for the buzz. You always did.

0:24:29 > 0:24:32Look, I'll talk to Frank. Give him a cut - he'll understand!

0:24:32 > 0:24:34Why don't you understand? What you did was wrong.

0:24:34 > 0:24:36Your dad said I earned it.

0:24:36 > 0:24:39You don't earn by stealing, scamming and lying like my dad.

0:24:39 > 0:24:41It just gets you messed up and then you get banged up

0:24:41 > 0:24:44and it's goodbye to everyone that you care for.

0:24:44 > 0:24:45Is that what you want?

0:24:45 > 0:24:49- Cos seriously, mate, this is where it all starts.- Look...

0:24:49 > 0:24:52- I overstepped the line.- Dad, you don't even know where the line is.

0:24:52 > 0:24:55You never did. Nor did Mum, for that matter.

0:24:55 > 0:24:57I can't believe I fell for all this "fresh start" rubbish.

0:24:57 > 0:25:00It wasn't rubbish, OK? I meant every word.

0:25:00 > 0:25:02- Rick...- Just save it.

0:25:02 > 0:25:03I'm not interested.

0:25:03 > 0:25:06Just go back to prison, where you belong.

0:25:07 > 0:25:10Now, I was brought up by scammers. Never knew any different.

0:25:10 > 0:25:11And when I was a kid,

0:25:11 > 0:25:14I used to go along with all my mum and dad's dodgy plans.

0:25:14 > 0:25:15But I grew up. And they didn't.

0:25:17 > 0:25:19I can't help myself, OK?

0:25:19 > 0:25:21I get a kick out of fooling other people.

0:25:21 > 0:25:24I can't help myself, it's just what I'm good at.

0:25:24 > 0:25:26But all that's going to change...(!)

0:25:26 > 0:25:30- No, not here it won't.- And why are you here?- To tell you my plan.

0:25:30 > 0:25:34- Here we go.- Please, just hear me out, OK? New start.

0:25:34 > 0:25:37All legal and above board, just the way you wanted.

0:25:37 > 0:25:39I want us to move to New Zealand.

0:25:39 > 0:25:42- Land of the Long White Cloud. - Are you actually being serious?

0:25:42 > 0:25:44I've got an uncle out there, he's straight,

0:25:44 > 0:25:47he's got a business he's getting too old to run.

0:25:47 > 0:25:49We could take it over, me and your mum.

0:25:49 > 0:25:52- You're living in dreamland, Dad. - No, I'm being realistic, Son.

0:25:52 > 0:25:54You're the one that's living in dreamland,

0:25:54 > 0:25:57thinking things are going to change for us if we stick around here.

0:25:57 > 0:25:58You wait till I get out,

0:25:58 > 0:26:01you'll see just how serious I am about this. Come here.

0:26:04 > 0:26:06I'll see you in six months, OK?

0:26:06 > 0:26:07Mm-hm.

0:26:07 > 0:26:09- So that's it? You just gave up on your dad?- Never.

0:26:09 > 0:26:12I'm still hoping that one day, things will be different, you know?

0:26:12 > 0:26:15I don't want him spending his life in and out of prison.

0:26:15 > 0:26:18- So why don't you try and change him? - Because it wouldn't work.

0:26:18 > 0:26:21People change when they're ready - they have to want to.

0:26:21 > 0:26:25Ah! So you're saying you can't change others just cos it suits you?

0:26:25 > 0:26:27- Unfortunately.- Aha!

0:26:28 > 0:26:30So, what can I tell you about Change

0:26:30 > 0:26:33to upload into the Dumping Ground Survival Files?

0:26:33 > 0:26:36It's true that for most of us it can be difficult when stuff changes.

0:26:36 > 0:26:38You get used to things being one way

0:26:38 > 0:26:40and having one set of people around you,

0:26:40 > 0:26:42then everything gets thrown up in the air.

0:26:42 > 0:26:44It can be hard to adapt. It can be sudden,

0:26:44 > 0:26:47like when someone says they're leaving out of the blue.

0:26:47 > 0:26:48Or it can creep up on you,

0:26:48 > 0:26:50like it did with Lily when her dad and Shannay

0:26:50 > 0:26:53started spending more and more time together.

0:26:53 > 0:26:56Now, as we grow up, we all change in all sorts of ways.

0:26:56 > 0:26:59It's fine to want to change something about yourself.

0:26:59 > 0:27:01It's good to set goals and have plans.

0:27:01 > 0:27:03But make sure you aren't trying to change

0:27:03 > 0:27:05just because someone else thinks you should.

0:27:07 > 0:27:10We all have to face up to change some time or other,

0:27:10 > 0:27:12and, in a way, that's a good thing.

0:27:12 > 0:27:14It's always worth talking stuff through

0:27:14 > 0:27:15with friends and family.

0:27:17 > 0:27:20They might have good advice which they have learnt from experience.

0:27:20 > 0:27:23If you are struggling with changes in your life,

0:27:23 > 0:27:26remember that it's something that does affect everyone.

0:27:26 > 0:27:28So, don't panic.

0:27:28 > 0:27:31That's the lowdown on change uploaded into the Survival Files.

0:27:31 > 0:27:33And don't forget...

0:27:33 > 0:27:34We've been through all this...

0:27:34 > 0:27:36..so you don't have to.

0:27:36 > 0:27:40# Don't you ever change now

0:27:40 > 0:27:44# Always be the same now

0:27:44 > 0:27:48# No, don't ever change from the way that you were

0:27:48 > 0:27:53# Last night

0:27:53 > 0:27:56# Don't ever change

0:27:56 > 0:28:00# Don't ever change. #
