0:00:02 > 0:00:07# I can make my world come true All my dreams will see me through
0:00:07 > 0:00:11- # It doesn't matter What may come my way...- No! No!
0:00:11 > 0:00:16# Believe it now I will win some day. #
0:00:18 > 0:00:23I'm Dolly. I'm looking for a mummy and daddy. I'm seven years old.
0:00:23 > 0:00:27I like picking flowers. I'd like Hollywood cos I'm cute.
0:00:27 > 0:00:31- Hi, Tracy!- Dolly! Is this what I think it is?
0:00:31 > 0:00:37Yeah. I'm gonna get adopted in Hollywood. Should I act more cute?
0:00:37 > 0:00:42I thought I could trust you. I'm making a video to get me adopted
0:00:42 > 0:00:45by a Hollywood couple! Not you!
0:00:58 > 0:01:03I read the article about how Hollywood stars are adopting.
0:01:03 > 0:01:07How will it look if they get two cute English girls, not one?
0:01:07 > 0:01:14- You listening?- Just thinking we can do something with the background.
0:01:14 > 0:01:19The background doesn't matter! The important thing is how I look!
0:01:19 > 0:01:23It's just that budding directors
0:01:23 > 0:01:27- don't get many chances to get their work seen by stars!- Hello!
0:01:27 > 0:01:30- What's going on here?- This... Oh...
0:01:30 > 0:01:32Well...you see...
0:01:32 > 0:01:36Ben's making a video for his school project...
0:01:36 > 0:01:41The title's My Hero and it's all about me.
0:01:41 > 0:01:45Tracy, I got replies! They wrote me back!
0:01:45 > 0:01:48Kelly Copman and Hank Lewis, stars of Ninja Detectives 1, 2 and 3?
0:01:48 > 0:01:51How did you...?
0:01:51 > 0:01:56Dolly, don't get excited. It's an automatic response from the website.
0:01:56 > 0:02:00- They probably didn't read your e-mail.- Bouncer!
0:02:00 > 0:02:03An e-mail from the Ninja Detectives!
0:02:03 > 0:02:08Tracy, it's not our problem. There's plenty of star coppers out there -
0:02:08 > 0:02:11enough for all of us.
0:02:11 > 0:02:15Messed-up British kid! Every American wants one! Dream on!
0:02:15 > 0:02:20Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman adopted. Michelle Pfeiffer adopted.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23All right, but they want perfect little babies,
0:02:23 > 0:02:28- not embarrassing problem kids. - That's why the look is so important.
0:02:28 > 0:02:32Right, Ben, you can take on a bit more work.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35I don't see why not.
0:02:35 > 0:02:39If I can borrow my dad's camera and my mum's, I should manage.
0:02:39 > 0:02:45Great! Suddenly the Dumping Ground has more stars than the Milky Way!
0:02:45 > 0:02:47Move!
0:02:49 > 0:02:52Right, hi. Tracy Beaker here.
0:02:52 > 0:02:57The deal is simple. You adopt me and soothe your guilty conscience.
0:02:57 > 0:03:02I want, 1, a pool, 2, either a chauffeur or unlimited taxi cash,
0:03:02 > 0:03:06and, 3, you've got to up the standard of your movies!
0:03:06 > 0:03:10Ninja Detectives - fair enough, but two sequels?
0:03:10 > 0:03:13Hi! I'm Justine. If Tracy's not right...
0:03:13 > 0:03:18- I'll stay out of your creative choices!- Too many movies here!
0:03:18 > 0:03:21Yeah...they usually wake us about 5.30am
0:03:21 > 0:03:24with what we call the doom stick.
0:03:24 > 0:03:29It's a big stick with something like thorns on the end.
0:03:29 > 0:03:33Then up off our straw mattresses, fight for a bowl of gruel...
0:03:33 > 0:03:37It's a hard life, yes, but I'm happy with my lot.
0:03:37 > 0:03:42- I'd be sad in a way to leave for California, but...- Cut!
0:03:42 > 0:03:47This is useless! You can see the stereo!
0:03:47 > 0:03:54- No-one will buy this! It's too much. - That's the idea! The sympathy vote!
0:03:54 > 0:03:56But it's gotta be believable.
0:03:56 > 0:04:01What we need is some documentary stuff, raw and gritty,
0:04:01 > 0:04:04like the cruel staff taking it out on the kids.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07But that, like, doesn't happen.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11Right, hi. Tracy Beaker here.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14- The deal is simple. You adopt me... - Tracy?
0:04:14 > 0:04:17I'm trying to get into my flow.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20Can I just get this straight?
0:04:20 > 0:04:24You're trying to get adopted by a pair of Ninja Detectives?
0:04:24 > 0:04:26Top Hollywood stars.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29OK. Well, have fun.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31One observation.
0:04:31 > 0:04:37- You're being a bit confrontational. - Just telling it how it is.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40Sure, but maybe you don't have to tell exactly how it is.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43A little charm goes a long way.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50I guess that's just the way life is.
0:04:50 > 0:04:54It flows like a river twisting this way and that.
0:04:55 > 0:04:59Who knows if that river is a river of tears,
0:04:59 > 0:05:04tears of sorrow and pity, cried by the lonely and brokenhearted?
0:05:04 > 0:05:11Or a river of joy pouring forth into an ocean of love!
0:05:11 > 0:05:13What is certain is that...
0:05:13 > 0:05:18I'll fit right in. I'll be earning my keep as an actress in weeks!
0:05:18 > 0:05:22'No more food from the kitchen!' Cut it there.
0:05:26 > 0:05:30- 'I'm ordering in pizza.' - I suppose it could work,
0:05:30 > 0:05:33but it looks terrible.
0:05:33 > 0:05:37- This hidden camera is very restricting.- Yeah.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39Duke doesn't look nasty enough.
0:05:39 > 0:05:43We need to make this place look like hell!
0:05:43 > 0:05:47We need someone stupid enough to play a real hardball.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49Who'd be dumb enough?
0:05:52 > 0:05:55What's the project?
0:05:59 > 0:06:02You just caught me finishing my lesson.
0:06:02 > 0:06:06Hi, I'm Tracy Beaker. My hobbies include classical music -
0:06:06 > 0:06:10playing and listening... literature...
0:06:10 > 0:06:15flower arranging and just generally helping around the house.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18- LAUGHTER - What?- Sorry...
0:06:18 > 0:06:20I just can't help it.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23Just think if someone went for this!
0:06:23 > 0:06:25They'd get a bit of a shock!
0:06:25 > 0:06:27Boo!
0:06:43 > 0:06:48We're making a hard-hitting drama about life in a children's home.
0:06:48 > 0:06:54Great! It's brilliant to see some creativity going on.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56The character we need for the drama
0:06:56 > 0:07:00is the most horrible, harshest care assistant ever.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02I'll give it a try.
0:07:05 > 0:07:06Action!
0:07:06 > 0:07:12What? 100 press-ups just for not making my bed? That's so unfair!
0:07:12 > 0:07:15- Yes, it is a bit unreasonable.- Cut!
0:07:16 > 0:07:19You've got to give it more...
0:07:19 > 0:07:21Think angry!
0:07:21 > 0:07:26- Think, "I'm not a very nice person."- Sorry. OK.- Action!
0:07:26 > 0:07:31What? 300 press-ups just for forgetting to floss?
0:07:31 > 0:07:35Yes! If you don't floss, there could be a build-up of plaque...
0:07:35 > 0:07:38- That makes me very angry!- Cut!
0:07:40 > 0:07:43OK... I think I'm ready for another shot at it.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45Cam, hit record.
0:07:45 > 0:07:50- OK.- Hi there. I just wanted to say I'm sure we'll get on.
0:07:50 > 0:07:54I'm looking forward to spending lots of time with you.
0:07:54 > 0:07:58- My last foster parent didn't have time to look after me.- A-hem!
0:07:58 > 0:08:03- I work full-time! I made all the time I could!- She couldn't cook...
0:08:03 > 0:08:07- except beans, if you call that cooking!- That's rich!
0:08:07 > 0:08:13Don't make her anything remotely green or healthy and you'll be fine!
0:08:13 > 0:08:17- I'm sure you won't be so argumentative!- Argumentative?
0:08:17 > 0:08:21- The world's junior arguing champion! - I am not!
0:08:21 > 0:08:26- Cut.- Not now we're getting to the good stuff!- I hate you!
0:08:26 > 0:08:30So I'll have to file a report to my supervisor!
0:08:30 > 0:08:33- Cut! - Maybe we should call it a day!
0:08:33 > 0:08:37If you give me enough time, I'm sure I can get it right.
0:08:37 > 0:08:41Don't take this the wrong way, but you're a sap!
0:08:41 > 0:08:46You're sappy in real life... Don't talk to me like that!
0:08:46 > 0:08:49How dare you? What? Roll camera!
0:08:49 > 0:08:51ROLL IT!
0:08:51 > 0:08:56You, get down now and give me 600 press-ups! Are you sure?
0:08:56 > 0:08:58I said 600!
0:08:58 > 0:09:01Get to it - unless you want 1,000!
0:09:01 > 0:09:06Why? Why, oh, why, oh, why, oh, why?
0:09:06 > 0:09:09Are you OK?
0:09:09 > 0:09:14I don't know! I don't know if I'll ever be OK again!
0:09:14 > 0:09:18What's happened? Oh...well...
0:09:18 > 0:09:20It was Elaine!
0:09:20 > 0:09:23Elaine - she shouted at me!
0:09:23 > 0:09:26Elaine? What's got into her?
0:09:32 > 0:09:35We had our problems!
0:09:35 > 0:09:40I'm just saying those problems might be there with someone else.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43Listen! I'm prime adoption material.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46Tracy, even if you did, by some miracle, pull this off,
0:09:46 > 0:09:51would you really want to leave everyone you know behind?
0:09:52 > 0:09:57- I don't know. Let's see, shall we? - Tracy...
0:09:57 > 0:09:59My tape and I are leaving!
0:09:59 > 0:10:01Tracy!
0:10:37 > 0:10:39Justine, check this out.
0:10:39 > 0:10:43- Dolly's begging e-mails. - How did you get into her e-mail?
0:10:43 > 0:10:47Little sap told me her password.
0:10:47 > 0:10:52"I'm really looking forward to living in Hollywood." Blah-blah.
0:10:52 > 0:10:56"How big is my room? I need to know what to pack."
0:10:56 > 0:11:01- That's not funny.- Hey, half-pint! What makes you so special?
0:11:01 > 0:11:06- You the only one with dreams? - Leave her!- I wanna be in a band,
0:11:06 > 0:11:09- but it won't happen! - I know what I'm doing.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15< There you are.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18Hey, Duke, fancy a coffee? >
0:11:18 > 0:11:20Love one. Elaine...
0:11:20 > 0:11:23I wanted to have a word with you.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25Have you been under pressure?
0:11:25 > 0:11:27Er...no...
0:11:27 > 0:11:30not really. Why?
0:11:30 > 0:11:33We better have a word with Louise.
0:11:36 > 0:11:38She was in a bad way...
0:11:38 > 0:11:42SINGING She sounds a lot better!
0:11:42 > 0:11:44# ..When the morning cries and you hide your stars
0:11:44 > 0:11:48# It's hard to bear when nothing's beside you
0:11:48 > 0:11:51# You're going nowhere... # I hope I proved
0:11:51 > 0:11:55that not only will you get a charming foster daughter,
0:11:55 > 0:12:00but a hugely talented singer, actress and dancer! Call me!
0:12:00 > 0:12:05No, please, Duke! Not the cupboard! Don't put me in the cupboard again!
0:12:05 > 0:12:08HE COUGHS
0:12:10 > 0:12:12- I can explain. - You better!
0:12:16 > 0:12:21Dolly, I know we haven't always been best friends,
0:12:21 > 0:12:23but is everything OK?
0:12:23 > 0:12:26Is anything bothering you?
0:12:26 > 0:12:28SHE REPLIES WITH HER MOUTH FULL
0:12:28 > 0:12:32Dolly, about your video and e-mails to Kelly and Hank.
0:12:32 > 0:12:37- It's got to stop!- The gun-blazing approach isn't going to help!
0:12:37 > 0:12:39Dolly's obviously not very happy.
0:12:39 > 0:12:44She needs to know the difference between dreams and reality!
0:12:44 > 0:12:50How do you know something serious isn't bothering her? Dolly...it's not your birthday.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52As I was saying...
0:12:52 > 0:12:55you've got to...stop...
0:12:55 > 0:13:00Look at all this great stuff - and it's all for free!
0:13:00 > 0:13:04- It's from Kelly and Hank. - I know.
0:13:04 > 0:13:08They don't wanna look after me, but they feel bad about it!
0:13:08 > 0:13:11The guilt trip! Simple and effective!
0:13:11 > 0:13:17So if you've got any jobs lined up for a drummer, I'd be up for it.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20Oh, and I liked your last album.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23Great! How about a peace sign?
0:13:26 > 0:13:29Peace! Later!
0:13:31 > 0:13:35- Hey! Oi!- Peace! Later!- Tracy!
0:13:35 > 0:13:40# I can make my world come true All my dreams will see me through
0:13:40 > 0:13:42- # And the fight won't get me down - No! No!
0:13:42 > 0:13:45# My dreams will turn things All around
0:13:45 > 0:13:49# With a smile upon my face I can see a better place
0:13:49 > 0:13:51- # It doesn't matter What may come my way...- No! No!
0:13:51 > 0:13:57# Believe it now I will win some day. #
