0:00:06 > 0:00:08# I can make my world come true
0:00:08 > 0:00:11# All my dreams will see me through
0:00:11 > 0:00:14# Doesn't matter what may come my way
0:00:14 > 0:00:18# Believe me now I will win some day... #
0:00:18 > 0:00:21< Are we men?
0:00:21 > 0:00:23- Or are we men?- We're men.
0:00:23 > 0:00:27These fish'll be pucker once we've fried them up
0:00:27 > 0:00:32- with some tarragon and lemon. - Sweets!- They're not what you think.
0:00:32 > 0:00:35It's a sweet tin.
0:00:35 > 0:00:39Heard the expression, "If it looks like a duck, it's a duck?"
0:00:39 > 0:00:42- Eugh!- Quack-quack.
0:00:43 > 0:00:46PHONE RINGS
0:00:48 > 0:00:52Is anyone going to get that? ALL: No!
0:00:52 > 0:00:57- STILL RINGING - I'm getting fed up with this now.
0:00:57 > 0:01:02Why can't Adele just choose one boy to go out with?
0:01:02 > 0:01:05Because then our lives would be too quiet.
0:01:05 > 0:01:09- ALL: No! - Adele's mobile is getting repaired.
0:01:09 > 0:01:13Unless you want to be like a human yo-yo, let it ring.
0:01:13 > 0:01:17- Adele! Phone!- Then answer it! - Everyone's refusing to.
0:01:17 > 0:01:21- PHONE STOPS RINGING - Now there's no need.
0:01:21 > 0:01:25- Which boyfriend is the paint job for?- Jamie.
0:01:25 > 0:01:29- I like that.- Jamie gave it to me. - And Derrick bought you a bag.
0:01:29 > 0:01:34- Having two boyfriends has its advantages.- Tracy!- It's pretty
0:01:34 > 0:01:38but not as nice as the stuff my mum used to wear.
0:01:38 > 0:01:42My mum's been collecting jewellery since I was born.
0:01:44 > 0:01:48We've got so much, vaults aren't big enough to hold it all.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52If you gave me that bracelet,
0:01:52 > 0:01:56it wouldn't be too hard for you to answer your calls.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59- You're not getting it.- Step aside.
0:02:00 > 0:02:04- Happy birthday, son! - Thanks, Mum.
0:02:04 > 0:02:09- Thanks, Dad.- We thought we'd have a celebratory breakfast.
0:02:09 > 0:02:13- MOBILE PHONE RINGS - Then we're taking you to...
0:02:13 > 0:02:17HIS PHONE RINGS Can't it wait until tomorrow?
0:02:17 > 0:02:20What? I'll be there in 30 minutes.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24I'm sorry, Ben.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27- Work calls.- We'll re-schedule.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29Sure.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43Any messages for me?
0:02:43 > 0:02:45I said, do I have any messages?!
0:02:45 > 0:02:48We're sick of picking up the phone
0:02:48 > 0:02:52- and answering the door to your boyfriends.- Dump Derrick.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54He's so boring the way he drones on.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57No, dump Jamie. Derrick's sweet.
0:02:57 > 0:03:01It's not your business. My private life is private.
0:03:01 > 0:03:05- So, stay out of it. - ALL: Ooh!
0:03:10 > 0:03:13Oh, no! Derrick.
0:03:14 > 0:03:20Tracy, help me out. Derrick's here and I've got to meet Jamie.
0:03:20 > 0:03:25Consider it done in return for a small settlement - the bracelet.
0:03:25 > 0:03:29- That's blackmail!- That's a free market. You need someone
0:03:29 > 0:03:33with my expertise to help you organise your love life.
0:03:33 > 0:03:37- My rates are very reasonable. - KNOCK AT DOOR
0:03:37 > 0:03:44- You're on.- It's a pleasure doing business. I'll get to work now.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46I've got it!
0:03:49 > 0:03:53Look after Derrick, Lou. I'll put the kettle on.
0:03:55 > 0:04:00I just get the feeling that I like Adele more than she likes me.
0:04:00 > 0:04:05What do you think? It's just that I really like her.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08I mean, I really, really like her.
0:04:09 > 0:04:14- Do you know how it feels to really like someone?- No, Derrick.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17But I'm sure you'll tell us.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24Where is she rushing off to?
0:04:27 > 0:04:31I've convinced Adele that I should be in charge of her lovelife...
0:04:31 > 0:04:34- Am I talking to myself?- Huh?
0:04:34 > 0:04:38I'm now employed as Adele's romance manager.
0:04:38 > 0:04:42But what do you know about love and romance?
0:04:42 > 0:04:47A lot. With my help, Adele will have the most successful lovelife
0:04:47 > 0:04:50in the history of the world.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57Argh!
0:04:58 > 0:05:01Hi, Jamie. Adele's gone out.
0:05:01 > 0:05:06I tried calling earlier on but nobody picked up the phone,
0:05:06 > 0:05:10- so I thought I'd catch her before she left.- You didn't.
0:05:10 > 0:05:14That'll really annoy her. She might chuck me.
0:05:14 > 0:05:19- Because you missed a date?- Not just that. She's been strange lately.
0:05:19 > 0:05:23- I've got tickets for Corrupt Crew. - I love them.
0:05:23 > 0:05:28Do you know what? Leave the Adele situation in my hands.
0:05:28 > 0:05:33- Put in a good word for me?- Get me a ticket and I'll put in hundreds.
0:05:33 > 0:05:38Adele wouldn't make a move without running it past me.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40Be back at two and bring my ticket.
0:05:40 > 0:05:45Will you put in a good word with Adele for me? I'll be back at two.
0:05:45 > 0:05:50I thought Adele told us to butt out of her private life?
0:05:50 > 0:05:53I know, but I felt sorry for him.
0:05:53 > 0:05:58You'll feel worse as she doesn't want Derrick, she wants Jamie.
0:05:58 > 0:06:03- What makes you so certain? - She's been bribed.- I haven't!
0:06:03 > 0:06:06SHOUTING
0:06:06 > 0:06:10You mustn't poke your noses into Adele's lovelife!
0:06:10 > 0:06:14She's entrusted all negotiations to me. So drop it!
0:06:14 > 0:06:17SHOUTING
0:06:17 > 0:06:21Let's calm down and review the situation!
0:06:21 > 0:06:24Adele warned us not to interfere.
0:06:24 > 0:06:28Who cares? We're talking free tickets to Corrupt Crew here.
0:06:28 > 0:06:33Who cares about that? Derrick's been teaching me football.
0:06:33 > 0:06:38Jamie writes reviews for magazines. That means free posters,
0:06:38 > 0:06:40- CDs, tickets for everyone.- Exactly!
0:06:40 > 0:06:44Derrick works at the cinema - films for free.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47Plus free popcorn and sweets!
0:06:47 > 0:06:51- I'll do all I can to get Adele with Jamie!- Me too!
0:06:51 > 0:06:55- Well, I'm on Derrick's side. Who's with me?- Me!
0:06:55 > 0:06:59I thought you were the queen of romance and organising.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02Ben, gonna help me sort this out?
0:07:02 > 0:07:07Come on, it's not as if you've got anything better to do.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09- I guess not.- Come on.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12We'll have to do something special
0:07:12 > 0:07:16to get Adele to like Derrick more than Jamie.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18- Oh!- Dolly, we could've used those.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22I've got a fish.
0:07:22 > 0:07:27For a romantic meal. We could cook the fish I caught.
0:07:27 > 0:07:32If you lot back down, Justine will do the same. It's not our business.
0:07:32 > 0:07:37- OK, a day's supply of chocolate if you do.- We're not interested.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40- A week's?- Yes! < Dolly!
0:07:40 > 0:07:44We want Derrick in and Jamie out.
0:07:44 > 0:07:49So, if you're not with us... You're against us.
0:07:49 > 0:07:54- We'll cook Adele and Jamie a romantic meal.- With Bouncer's fish.
0:07:54 > 0:07:58If you lot back down, the others said they will.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01They're spying for the others.
0:08:01 > 0:08:05We want to stop it before it goes too far.
0:08:05 > 0:08:11- Snitch to Jenny and you won't live long enough to be sorry!- Yeah!
0:08:11 > 0:08:15Unbelievable! What are we going to do now?
0:08:15 > 0:08:19You've been nothing but a blank page since you got here.
0:08:19 > 0:08:23What's with the bag? Are you running away or something?
0:08:30 > 0:08:35- Oh, it's your birthday! I forgot. - It doesn't matter.- It does.
0:08:35 > 0:08:40- Weren't you going out with your parents?- They got called into work.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43- Bummer. Happy birthday, Ben. - Thanks, Beaker.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46I'll never wash this cheek again.
0:08:46 > 0:08:50Make sure you wash the rest of your body.
0:08:53 > 0:08:59- So sorry. I think you'll find you had your brainwave too late.- Yeah.
0:09:02 > 0:09:07All we've got now is an empty box of chocolates.
0:09:09 > 0:09:14I know. We'll fill Jamie's box of chocolates with romantic messages
0:09:14 > 0:09:19- and say they're from Derrick. - It's better than nothing.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22Whoa!
0:09:22 > 0:09:24Oops.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27You've ruined my bolognese.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31I knew we'd win. So sorry.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35Quitter!
0:09:59 > 0:10:01(Go. Go.)
0:10:09 > 0:10:13I can't believe it! Jamie stood me up.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24Aw!
0:10:27 > 0:10:31"Love and thoughts sweeter than chocolate, Derrick." Aw!
0:10:37 > 0:10:39< SCREAMING
0:10:39 > 0:10:42LAUGHTER
0:10:54 > 0:10:58What's all the screaming about?
0:10:58 > 0:11:01My maggots!
0:11:02 > 0:11:06- Who did this?- Tracy Beaker. - It wasn't me.
0:11:19 > 0:11:23We've won, Louise, and that's all there is to it.
0:11:23 > 0:11:27Really, Amber? What's that I smell?
0:11:27 > 0:11:31The fish! My beautiful fish!
0:11:31 > 0:11:34- Look! - It's just very well done.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37Nobody move. And I am not finished!
0:11:37 > 0:11:41- Explanation now!- Derrick is the best boyfriend for you.
0:11:41 > 0:11:47- Jamie is better looking and he gets you better presents.- Unbelievable!
0:11:47 > 0:11:50- If I could offer my advice...- No.
0:11:50 > 0:11:56You couldn't organise brushing your own teeth. I'll decide about Jamie
0:11:56 > 0:11:59- and Derrick. - Are you seeing both of us?
0:11:59 > 0:12:02JAMIE: I can't believe you, Adele!
0:12:02 > 0:12:06Don't do anything else. I'm dumping you.
0:12:06 > 0:12:12- So am I and I'd like back all the things I bought for you!- Oh, no!
0:12:15 > 0:12:19- KNOCK AT DOOR - Go away!
0:12:19 > 0:12:24Jenny says she wants to see you in the dining room. It's important.
0:12:28 > 0:12:33We thought we'd make up for the fact that you don't have a date.
0:12:33 > 0:12:38- The boys won't miss this if you don't return it.- If they do, tough.
0:12:38 > 0:12:42I messed up. I'll never interfere in your lovelife again.
0:12:42 > 0:12:46- KNOCK AT DOOR - I'll get it.
0:12:46 > 0:12:50- Sorry, Adele.- Yeah, sorry. - Sorry, Adele.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53- Are we forgiven?- I suppose.
0:12:53 > 0:12:58Special delivery for Adele Azzopardi.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12And last but not least...
0:13:14 > 0:13:16ALL: Happy Birthday, Ben!
0:13:16 > 0:13:20- CHEERING - Sorry we forgot.- Thanks, everyone.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23And this.
0:13:25 > 0:13:30At last, no more message-taking or constant phone ringing.
0:13:30 > 0:13:35- I detect love in the air.- Tracy! - I couldn't dream of interfering.
