0:00:18 > 0:00:21DOG WHINES
0:00:21 > 0:00:23- Ssh!- What?- Listen.
0:00:23 > 0:00:26WHINING
0:00:26 > 0:00:28He's been pestering me for weeks.
0:00:28 > 0:00:34- A-a-a-aw!- Dumb fleabag! He got upstairs yesterday! ..Get out of it.
0:00:34 > 0:00:36Don't! He's lovely!
0:00:36 > 0:00:40Go on! ..Why do they always gravitate round me? I HATE dogs!
0:00:40 > 0:00:43Hey! Lovely Fang!
0:00:43 > 0:00:46Careful! He might bite!
0:00:46 > 0:00:50Go on! Get out of it! And good riddance!
0:00:55 > 0:00:57I'll see to her.
0:01:08 > 0:01:13- He looks just like Rocket.- Who?- My dog. I had him since he was a puppy.
0:01:13 > 0:01:18He ran away the night my foster parents went to Australia.
0:01:18 > 0:01:24He maybe knew they were going and didn't want to end up in a dog home.
0:01:24 > 0:01:30So he set off into the big, wide world to have his own adventures.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37Woof! Woof!
0:01:42 > 0:01:46When you're big, you can get another dog.
0:01:46 > 0:01:51I'm big now - said the teacher at my new school. So I CAN get a dog.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53Hmm. Well, I don't know.
0:01:53 > 0:01:58- Who'd look after it? - WE will!- I'm not sure.- Please?
0:01:58 > 0:02:03It's not that I don't WANT to, but we'll have to ask permission.
0:02:03 > 0:02:07You don't need permission. You're Tracy Beaker!
0:02:07 > 0:02:13- SAID I'd get them.- An old lady died and they were clearing out her house.
0:02:13 > 0:02:18Ugh! Some of her hair might be on it! Gross!
0:02:20 > 0:02:23What do you think? Louise.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26- Babelicious or what?- Huh?
0:02:26 > 0:02:28But it would be GREAT for Dolly!
0:02:28 > 0:02:33- Didn't YOU have a pet when you were seven?- A goldfish.
0:02:33 > 0:02:38- That's the best you can do? Pathetic.- I'll be honest with you.
0:02:38 > 0:02:43If adults say that, they're trying to get you round to their opinion.
0:02:43 > 0:02:47Let me finish! Who would look after it?
0:02:47 > 0:02:51Who would groom it, clean up after it?
0:02:51 > 0:02:54Take it for walks in all weathers.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57APPLAUSE
0:02:57 > 0:03:02'The prize for best looked-after dog goes to Tracy Beaker!'
0:03:02 > 0:03:05APPLAUSE
0:03:05 > 0:03:09- Me and Dolly. It'd be the best-loved dog ever.- Sorry!
0:03:09 > 0:03:14How would YOU feel, if the thing you loved most was taken from you,
0:03:14 > 0:03:18so your horrid foster family could go to Australia?
0:03:18 > 0:03:22Awful. But we can't, but it's the rules.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26- How about a rabbit?- SAD!
0:03:28 > 0:03:30Are we not allowed?
0:03:31 > 0:03:34Did I say that?
0:03:36 > 0:03:39- Adele, what time is it?- 9.30.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42- Out today?- My dad's coming at 11.
0:03:42 > 0:03:48- There's free lip gloss in this. - Cheers!- Hi, Justine! Nice dress.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51- Thanks!- Hmm!
0:03:51 > 0:03:53WHISTLES
0:03:53 > 0:03:56- Want a chocolate button?- Oh, yeah!
0:03:58 > 0:04:00Hey!
0:04:03 > 0:04:05What's this? What's this?
0:04:05 > 0:04:08What's this? What's this?
0:04:08 > 0:04:12Come on! What's this? What's this? Good boy!
0:04:15 > 0:04:17What's this?
0:04:17 > 0:04:19What's this?
0:04:22 > 0:04:24Ha! Gotcha!
0:04:24 > 0:04:29Hey! You and Louise fancy a film with us tonight?
0:04:29 > 0:04:33- What is it?- Just name it! - Don't mind me(!)
0:04:33 > 0:04:38- So...yes or no? - Well, depends what time I get back.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41- That's a yes!- You've got an admirer.
0:04:41 > 0:04:45- KNOCK AT DOOR - That's my dad!
0:04:51 > 0:04:55Aw, it's great to see you, love! You look pretty!
0:04:57 > 0:05:02I hope you don't mind, but there's someone who wants to join us today.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06This is Carrie.
0:05:08 > 0:05:14Oh, no, I forgot! I've got a school project that's to be in tomorrow,
0:05:14 > 0:05:16and I haven't started it yet.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18Sorry!
0:05:19 > 0:05:22Gotta finish it! See you!
0:05:24 > 0:05:28Fang! Lovely Fang! Thanks, Tracy!
0:05:28 > 0:05:33- What are we going to do now these have run out?- Raid the kitchen.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36Where's he going to sleep?
0:05:43 > 0:05:46- Here!- What if he needs a pee?
0:05:48 > 0:05:53How will we get Fang to the garden without Duke seeing?
0:05:54 > 0:05:58No problem. We'll just have to be organised.
0:06:18 > 0:06:22TRICKLING
0:06:25 > 0:06:28KNOCK AT DOOR
0:06:29 > 0:06:32Wasn't your dad was taking you out?
0:06:32 > 0:06:36- He had to go somewhere. Here's your magazine back.- Thanks.
0:06:36 > 0:06:42- Never mind, sounds like you've got a hot date tonight.- Yeah, right!
0:06:42 > 0:06:48- Like he fancies me(!)- He does. Be nice - you can borrow some make-up.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57- < Tracy?- Quick! In the basket!
0:06:57 > 0:06:59Come on, it's lunch! Tracy!
0:06:59 > 0:07:03- KNOCK AT DOOR - Tracy!
0:07:05 > 0:07:06(Quick!)
0:07:10 > 0:07:12- Nathan!- Hey, dudes.
0:07:12 > 0:07:18- You got anything for the wash? - No, not today!- You fib, Tracy!
0:07:18 > 0:07:24- There's a whole pile there!- Yes... I have...a whole pile of washing.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27- But you can't have it.- Tracy!
0:07:27 > 0:07:30The last time you did it, it shrunk.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33Cam had to buy me a new wardrobe,
0:07:33 > 0:07:37although she's poor. I promised her I'd do it all by hand.
0:07:37 > 0:07:41- The machine's complicated. - Yes, I know.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43What you doing?
0:07:46 > 0:07:48Come on.
0:07:48 > 0:07:53What are you waiting for? Come on, it's LUNCH!
0:08:11 > 0:08:16I'll stick one of these up on the notice board in the hall.
0:08:16 > 0:08:20They usually come back when they're hungry.
0:08:20 > 0:08:24- Is that his name?- Yeah. Fang.
0:08:24 > 0:08:28Yeah, well, I'll call if I hear anything.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30Thanks!
0:08:30 > 0:08:32Justine! Louise! Lunch!
0:08:51 > 0:08:54Louise? Can you take...? Hang on.
0:08:54 > 0:08:58- HE SNIFFS - It's that dog again!
0:08:58 > 0:09:01- What dog?- That's it! This is war.
0:09:01 > 0:09:05- Oh, that's so gross! - What's going on?
0:09:05 > 0:09:08- Don't move! Don't move!- Disgusting!
0:09:08 > 0:09:10It's everywhere and it's...
0:09:10 > 0:09:13- Please?!- My sock! Oh!
0:09:13 > 0:09:17- Ah! Ew!- That stinks, Louise!
0:09:17 > 0:09:21- Oh!- Was it a scruffy, mutty type of dog?
0:09:21 > 0:09:25Yes! It was a scruffy, mutty type of doggy!
0:09:25 > 0:09:27Fang? Fang!
0:09:30 > 0:09:32Here! Come on!
0:09:32 > 0:09:35Who's a good boy?
0:09:37 > 0:09:42- If Duke catches him, he'll make him into a pie!- You've got US now.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45We won't let Duke get you.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49Gulp!
0:09:51 > 0:09:54APPLAUSE
0:09:59 > 0:10:03- Come to Dukie!- (Quick!) - Come on, Fang! Come to Dukie!
0:10:03 > 0:10:06- OW!- Dolly? You all right, Dolly?
0:10:06 > 0:10:09- OW!- Dolly!- OW!- Oh! Dolly!- Ow!
0:10:10 > 0:10:14Dolly, are you sure you don't know where this dog is?
0:10:14 > 0:10:17I rang Vikram and asked him to come.
0:10:17 > 0:10:23- If it IS his dog, there's a £10 reward.- He's someone's pet?!- Mm-hm.
0:10:23 > 0:10:27- You HAVE to!- OK! But I can't promise much walking.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30- Be a good boy.- Whose dog is he?
0:10:31 > 0:10:34He's one of the dogs for the um...
0:10:34 > 0:10:38dog walking for the elderly... um...thing.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41But you can't do it?
0:10:41 > 0:10:45Ooh! Pulled a muscle! Ooh! Got to rest it. See ya!
0:10:45 > 0:10:48Hey! But I thought you said...
0:10:53 > 0:10:56Tracy! He's someone's pet!
0:10:59 > 0:11:04Oh! We DID see him, didn't we? Down by the canal?
0:11:05 > 0:11:08Getting a boat to the West Indies.
0:11:10 > 0:11:11Tracy?
0:11:17 > 0:11:19- Hi!- Hi!
0:11:19 > 0:11:22Can I ask you something...personal?
0:11:23 > 0:11:25It's a bit... You know.
0:11:25 > 0:11:29You're a really good mate. You know that.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31And because you're a good mate,
0:11:31 > 0:11:34I thought I could ask you...
0:11:34 > 0:11:37Would Louise go out with me?
0:11:38 > 0:11:41- I have to take him back.- OK.
0:11:41 > 0:11:46- But if the old lady finds he's too much, I'll have him.- YOU?!- Yes!
0:11:46 > 0:11:48He's really funny and no trouble.
0:11:48 > 0:11:54- Really funny?- Yeah. It's the way he looks at you. That cheeky grin.
0:11:54 > 0:11:58He's not grinning - he's baring his teeth.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01No! You wouldn't! You're never naughty!
0:12:01 > 0:12:06Is that why you couldn't keep me? I wasn't funny enough? Too naughty?
0:12:06 > 0:12:09- It wasn't like that!- Come on, Fang.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20- D'you fancy Lol?- Eh, no!
0:12:20 > 0:12:24- He asked if you'd go out with him. - ME?!- Should I say yes?
0:12:24 > 0:12:27No way. He's far too immature.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33- Hey, what's up?- Nothing.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37Everything.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39My dad and me were going out today,
0:12:39 > 0:12:44and he brought his new girlfriend, and you know...
0:12:44 > 0:12:47His girlfriend?! That is so not cool.
0:12:48 > 0:12:53Tell you what, let's go upstairs, and I'll give you a make-over.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55Yeah? Use my new tongs?
0:12:55 > 0:12:58Ugh! Dead lady hair!
0:12:58 > 0:13:00Come on!
0:13:03 > 0:13:07Fang! Where've you been? Where've you been?
0:13:07 > 0:13:10- The reward.- Result!
0:13:10 > 0:13:12Why not use that to get a pet?
0:13:12 > 0:13:15I really LIKE rabbits!
0:13:15 > 0:13:21I had a rabbit with long ears and massive feet. Better than a dog.
0:13:21 > 0:13:26There's the boring way of doing things, and the Tracy Beaker way.
