0:00:05 > 0:00:10# I can make my world come true All my dreams will see me through
0:00:10 > 0:00:14- # It doesn't matter What may come my way...- No, no
0:00:14 > 0:00:17# Believe me now I will win some day. #

0:00:27 > 0:00:29- Nearly.- She hasn't even started.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32Blab!
0:00:32 > 0:00:35I finished mine.
0:00:35 > 0:00:37Want me to water the veggies?
0:00:37 > 0:00:39Suck-up blab!
0:00:45 > 0:00:47Hello, Earth calling Cam!
0:00:47 > 0:00:51..Then we'll paint the car yellow and have snake pies.
0:00:51 > 0:00:56- What?- I had a pet stone once - it wasn't as boring as you!
0:00:56 > 0:01:00Oh, I'm sorry. I was thinking about New York.
0:01:00 > 0:01:04- What a place! And the writing course...- Blah, blah, blah!
0:01:04 > 0:01:09If it was that great, why haven't you written a bestseller yet?
0:01:10 > 0:01:13I don't know what to write about.
0:01:14 > 0:01:19Hello! You could write the adventures of Tracy Beaker.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22The Amazing Tracy Beaker! Beaker The Bold!
0:01:22 > 0:01:26Tracy In Space!
0:01:26 > 0:01:30- A children's book based on...- The most interesting person you know.

0:01:45 > 0:01:48- I know about kids in care.- M-E - me!
0:01:48 > 0:01:51I'm going to write a book about the Dumping Ground.
0:01:51 > 0:01:55That'll take you less than 10 seconds!
0:01:55 > 0:01:58Nothing ever happens here!
0:02:04 > 0:02:06- Tracy.- Why can't I tell anyone?
0:02:06 > 0:02:11If the kids know I'm watching them, they won't act natural.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14Their natural state is barely breathing!
0:02:16 > 0:02:19- Agh!- James!
0:02:19 > 0:02:23Shh, keep your voice down. Oh, little brother.
0:02:23 > 0:02:28- What are you doing here?- I need to lie low. Don't tell anyone.- Huh?
0:02:36 > 0:02:39Bazam-bazoo!
0:02:41 > 0:02:46Marco! Why do we have to do all the work around here?
0:02:46 > 0:02:51Oh, look, you can call it The Dumping Ground Kids Do Chores!
0:02:51 > 0:02:54What's she twittering on about?
0:02:54 > 0:02:57Cam's looking for ideas for her book about the Dumping Ground.
0:03:00 > 0:03:04- I've got millions of ideas. - You'll need illustrations.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07Thanks(!) I don't want a pile of mad adventures.
0:03:07 > 0:03:12Don't blow a valve - I'll write some proper stories.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17- Quick, follow me.- >
0:03:17 > 0:03:19Come on!
0:03:25 > 0:03:30Social workers! I left their stupid halfway house for good.
0:03:30 > 0:03:34- You ran away?- Yeah, I have. I nicked a few quid off them.
0:03:34 > 0:03:39- Why?- It's stupid, but I needed to get here. Have you any cash?
0:03:39 > 0:03:42- A little bit. - I'll get a job straightaway.
0:03:42 > 0:03:46- And a flat. - Are you going to take me with you,
0:03:46 > 0:03:51like you said you would? I knew you'd never let me down.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56Why didn't you tell me about Cam's book?
0:03:56 > 0:04:01Why don't you get bored on another planet in a distant galaxy?
0:04:28 > 0:04:31Carry on like you would if I wasn't here.
0:04:42 > 0:04:47- That's a lovely photo of you.- It's to put on the cover of your book.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51What book?
0:04:51 > 0:04:55- You want to be in it, too? - Not in it - ON it. On the cover.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58So mums and dads can see how nice I look.
0:05:10 > 0:05:15Somebody nice will come and take you home one day, I'm sure.
0:05:15 > 0:05:20- Only if you put my picture on the cover.- Let me get this right.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23You're writing a book about Dolly?
0:05:23 > 0:05:26- About everyone who lives here. - Thanks, Dolly.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30THUMPING AND BANGING
0:05:30 > 0:05:33Agh!
0:05:39 > 0:05:43- Who are you hiding? - You're hurting me!- Good!
0:05:43 > 0:05:46- Agh! Get off! - I will when you tell me.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49- It's a secret! - That's never stopped you before!
0:05:49 > 0:05:52- Tell!- Ow! Get off me, Jackie!
0:05:52 > 0:05:56Can't I get any peace to be creative?
0:05:58 > 0:06:02He's my brother, James! Now, get off!
0:06:02 > 0:06:05And you're running away with him?
0:06:05 > 0:06:10- Are you mad?- You kept running away to your grandpa!- That's different.
0:06:10 > 0:06:14- I was never meant to be here in the first place.- Nobody is.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17What do YOU know about running away?
0:06:17 > 0:06:21What kind of hiding place is the summer house?
0:06:22 > 0:06:26Magic wand - make Teddy go!
0:06:27 > 0:06:29Hi, Cam.
0:06:29 > 0:06:35- I wrote my story down for you. - Justine phoned you about the book.
0:06:35 > 0:06:40It's about a beautiful girl trapped in a care home doing all the work.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42And a prince rescues her?
0:06:42 > 0:06:48Don't be wet! A family fostered her and saw her hidden talents.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50They sent her to university.
0:06:50 > 0:06:54They tested her brains. The results were amazing.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56She went on to be a famous vet.
0:07:07 > 0:07:11- Put my name above yours on the cover.- Yeah.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17I know! Why don't I disappear?
0:07:18 > 0:07:21Writer of book, here!
0:07:21 > 0:07:24Abracadabra, writer disappear!
0:07:24 > 0:07:27JACKIE SCREAMS
0:07:28 > 0:07:31JACKIE COUGHS
0:07:31 > 0:07:34- I swallowed a fly. All better now.- Sure?
0:07:39 > 0:07:42- Who are you?- Never mind that now. Come on!
0:07:50 > 0:07:52Here's the famous author!
0:07:52 > 0:07:55I'm going off the whole idea.
0:07:55 > 0:08:00- Hi! I've written a story for your book.- It's me who's...
0:08:00 > 0:08:04It's about this Dumping Ground girl, who everyone fights with.
0:08:04 > 0:08:09She has lovely hair, unlike that grub who says she isn't pretty...
0:08:10 > 0:08:15- This duckling grows up to be a swan?- No. She gets her own back.
0:08:31 > 0:08:35Have you thought about making it a recipe book?
0:08:35 > 0:08:39Caring Meals For Kids - recipes by Duke.
0:08:44 > 0:08:49- Thought you'd turn up here sooner or later!- Who's she?- Who told you?
0:08:49 > 0:08:53Jackie, Jackie - you can't keep anything from the Beaker!
0:08:53 > 0:08:58So you plan to take Michael to live happily ever after with you,
0:08:58 > 0:09:03- don't you?- I'm on the road - I can't take a little kid with me!
0:09:03 > 0:09:08- You weren't going to tell him! - You haven't thought this through.
0:09:08 > 0:09:13- Where do you think they'll look for you?- I needn't listen to this!
0:09:13 > 0:09:15You do if you want us to help you.
0:09:15 > 0:09:20- Why would you help?- You may be big, but you're still a kid in care.
0:09:29 > 0:09:33- DOOR OPENS - Tracy knows.
0:09:35 > 0:09:39- You may as well announce it on TV! - Look, there's a problem.
0:09:39 > 0:09:44- Your brother's sorry, but he can't take you with him.- You're lying.
0:09:44 > 0:09:49- He doesn't know how he's going to live.- We'll manage.- You won't.
0:09:49 > 0:09:55- James'll look after me.- He can't even look after himself.- It's true.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58- He can't take you with him. - Get out!
0:09:58 > 0:10:01You should stop him before he gets in trouble.
0:10:01 > 0:10:05I hate you both! Tell him I don't want to see him again!
0:10:08 > 0:10:11Well, um, that went well, I suppose.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14Yeah, you've been a great help(!)
0:10:19 > 0:10:23- If you're writing a story for my book...- No way!- Too much like work.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26Thank goodness. I'm getting so...
0:10:26 > 0:10:30But you can interview us about how bad life is here.
0:10:30 > 0:10:35I'd like you to put in action - a car chase, an explosion or two.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38- Sign here.- What?
0:10:38 > 0:10:44In exchange for our ideas, you'll give us half the profits.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46I don't think you'll find a better offer.
0:10:46 > 0:10:51It'll be a bestseller. People love books about suffering.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58MOBILE RINGS Who's that?
0:10:58 > 0:11:01- Our social worker. - What's she doing here?
0:11:01 > 0:11:07- Your social worker must've rung her. Go.- Tell Michael I'm sorry.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10Tell him yourself.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16You have to go back to the halfway house.
0:11:17 > 0:11:22Here's my pocket money. I've been saving up for months.
0:11:22 > 0:11:26Give them back what you stole and say sorry. They'll understand.
0:11:26 > 0:11:32- You'll have to get a job and save up and...- Got it all worked out?
0:11:32 > 0:11:37- I'll blab on you.- He's the biggest blab in the Dumping Ground.- Jackie!
0:11:37 > 0:11:42- Jackie, Tracy, Michael! > - Go! We'll keep Elaine busy!
0:11:44 > 0:11:49OK, boss, but I will be back for you one day. I promise.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52You better.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13Let me past - I've important business!
0:12:13 > 0:12:19But, Elaine, um, me and Jackie wanted a little chat with you.
0:12:19 > 0:12:23I didn't come for a chat - I came here to see... Cam!
0:12:23 > 0:12:25I heard about your book.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28Cam!
0:12:29 > 0:12:32- What's going on?- She doesn't know!
0:12:34 > 0:12:36Come on.
0:12:38 > 0:12:42I've boxes of case histories and I can easily go and fetch them...
0:12:42 > 0:12:46I just did some illustrations for your book.
0:12:48 > 0:12:53Now, would everyone just stop giving me stuff for my book, OK?
0:12:54 > 0:12:57- It's MY book!- Oh, I forgot.
0:12:57 > 0:13:01I mean, I forgot to tell you I decided
0:13:01 > 0:13:03not to pester you with my stories.
0:13:03 > 0:13:08Look, I just want to write a little book about normal people.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11What - and no suffering?
0:13:11 > 0:13:14No explosions, no skulls,
0:13:14 > 0:13:19no horror, no adventures, definitely no fairy stories!
0:13:19 > 0:13:23- Just my own little book about the Dumping Ground.- Like I said,
0:13:23 > 0:13:26- why? Nothing happens.- She's right.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29- It should be a cook book.- Oh...!
0:13:36 > 0:13:41# I can make my world come true All my dreams will see me through
0:13:41 > 0:13:44- # And the fight won't get me down - No, no
0:13:44 > 0:13:47# My dreams will turn things All around
0:13:47 > 0:13:52# With a smile upon my face I can see a better place
0:13:52 > 0:13:56- # It doesn't matter What may come my way...- No, no! #
