0:00:21 > 0:00:25- My point!- What?! - Well, you never hit the ball back.
0:00:25 > 0:00:29- What's the date?- The 22nd. - So tomorrow's the...
0:00:29 > 0:00:34- Er, 23rd? Usually.- It's from her Grandpa, about a race.
0:00:34 > 0:00:395km?! He wants me to run with him in a charity race. No way!
0:00:39 > 0:00:43- You could run 5km in your sleep. - OK. Don't panic. We'll help.
0:00:43 > 0:00:48- I'll get people to sponsor you. - Yeah, but I'm still panicking...
0:00:48 > 0:00:52And I'll help you train, with my cutting-edge approach to coaching.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54I can't let him down.
0:01:06 > 0:01:10- Come on, just sign up!- No way!
0:01:10 > 0:01:15- Why do you think we've got cash? - Don't be tight, it's a good cause!
0:01:15 > 0:01:20- What?- A donkey shelter. - A donkey shelter?!
0:01:20 > 0:01:25- Poor ickle donkeys(!)- Hurts me to say it, but for once, he's right.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28It's important to warm up properly.
0:01:28 > 0:01:32- I have warmed up.- Great, let's go! - Aren't you going to warm up?
0:01:32 > 0:01:34Nah. Can't be bothered. Come on!
0:01:39 > 0:01:42HE SHOUTS ORDERS
0:01:51 > 0:01:57- It's no picnic being a donkey.- Oh, please!- It's no picnic being here!
0:01:57 > 0:02:01- Right!- Donkeys should do sponsored beach rides for us!
0:02:01 > 0:02:06- Poor you(!) You're worse off than a donkey?- No, but you are.- Why?
0:02:06 > 0:02:09Cos you look like one!
0:02:09 > 0:02:14No way her Grandpa'll make it. He won a medal in the Stone Age, but...
0:02:14 > 0:02:18- You only cough up if he finishes. - Your serve.- If he doesn't,
0:02:18 > 0:02:22- I'll pay you for whatever you signed for.- Wait a minute.
0:02:22 > 0:02:27- If Jackie's old crumbly Grandpa can't finish, you pay us?- Mm-hm!
0:02:33 > 0:02:37- ARGH!- Hamstring. Told you, you should've warmed up.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39It's fine, really!
0:02:39 > 0:02:42ARGH!
0:02:43 > 0:02:46Poor things.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51- Nathan?- No way.
0:02:51 > 0:02:57- I don't believe in donkey racing. - No. It's people racing FOR donkeys.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00Oh, right. Why didn't you say?
0:03:05 > 0:03:08Shelley?
0:03:08 > 0:03:10I'm not sure.
0:03:10 > 0:03:15People give more money to animal charities than, well, people.
0:03:15 > 0:03:20- It can get sentimental. No offence. - It's for Jackie and her grandpa!
0:03:20 > 0:03:24Yes, and should he put himself through that at his age?
0:03:28 > 0:03:31I'm sorry, but that's how I feel.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39Easy now, keep your rhythm...
0:03:39 > 0:03:41Slow it down a bit...
0:03:41 > 0:03:46- Not that slow, obviously. - I think it's you, going faster!
0:03:46 > 0:03:52- Everything's under control... Whoa! - The brake!- Good idea, where is it?
0:03:52 > 0:03:55- ARGH! - CRASH!
0:03:55 > 0:03:57Ouch!
0:04:06 > 0:04:11- Maybe you should sit this one out. - Don't worry, I've got a plan.
0:04:11 > 0:04:16This way I can keep on at you. OK, a couple of laps round the pond.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18Go!
0:04:18 > 0:04:23Remember, weight on the balls of your feet, over.
0:04:23 > 0:04:27- These are great! Where'd you get 'em?- Found 'em on a bench.
0:04:27 > 0:04:32- Lucky, eh!- 'That definitely feels better. How do I look? Over.'
0:04:32 > 0:04:37Keep your head up, even strides, that's it... Over.
0:04:43 > 0:04:49'Now, lads, it was a mistake, OK? Just put me down... ARGH!'
0:04:49 > 0:04:52- SPLASH! - Crash? Crash?!
0:04:53 > 0:04:58I just wanted to check you're ready. It's a tough race, you know...
0:04:58 > 0:05:02- Training is the key.- Don't worry, I've got a great coach!
0:05:02 > 0:05:05Yeah! I think we cracked it! Ow...
0:05:05 > 0:05:08- What happened to you?- Don't ask.
0:05:08 > 0:05:12Excuse me, everyone! I'd just like to say a big thank-you.
0:05:12 > 0:05:18Although I see not everyone's followed your wonderful example!
0:05:21 > 0:05:26Thank you! Well, I'll be off. Better get an early night, my love.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29Big day tomorrow, eh?
0:05:31 > 0:05:34- Bye, Mr Hopper!- Oh, bye, Slash.
0:05:37 > 0:05:41- KNOCK AT DOOR - Ah, changed your mind, eh?
0:05:41 > 0:05:44Hello, Tracy.
0:05:44 > 0:05:48Oh, you. Funny, I thought I said I never wanted to see you again.
0:05:48 > 0:05:52- I thought you might calm down... - What do you want?!
0:05:52 > 0:05:57- Writing a sequel?!- Tracy.- I'm still stuck here. Just like you wrote.
0:05:57 > 0:06:02- Look, I told you, Trudy wasn't... - Trudy wasn't me, I know.
0:06:02 > 0:06:07- You must think I'm really stupid! - No, of course I don't!
0:06:07 > 0:06:12- I'm not here for ideas. I want us to be friends.- You know your way out.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17- Oh, and before you go...- Yeah?
0:06:17 > 0:06:22Jackie's in a race and needs sponsors. You can sign up.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24Sure. Of course.
0:06:26 > 0:06:31More than that! You're a big hot-shot writer now!
0:06:31 > 0:06:35- For the book, I'm really not getting that much.- Till it sells a million.
0:06:35 > 0:06:40- Showing no signs of it at the moment. Tracy, please...- Thank you.
0:06:49 > 0:06:53PA: 'Would all runners collect their race numbers now, please?'
0:06:53 > 0:06:59- What d'you mean? I did enter!- We received your application too late.
0:06:59 > 0:07:03- Her grandpa's a bit...forgetful. - There's nothing I can do!
0:07:03 > 0:07:08- You can give me a number!- Rules are rules.- Anyone can be late.
0:07:08 > 0:07:13- There's a kids' fun-run. Perhaps you'd like to enter that.- No way!
0:07:13 > 0:07:17Right, Jackie, Lol, Bouncer. ..Nice car.
0:07:17 > 0:07:23- Eh?- Only, they scratch so easily, don't they...?
0:07:23 > 0:07:29Actually, we might have a spare number here somewhere...
0:07:32 > 0:07:37Hi! I finally found you. Thought I'd come and see the big race!
0:07:37 > 0:07:39This would make a great chapter(!)
0:07:39 > 0:07:44- And have a last go at saying I'm sorry.- "Plucky care kid wins race!"
0:07:44 > 0:07:48- I don't know what else to do. - Give me my life back.
0:07:48 > 0:07:53I never took it away! The book's out there. I can't bring it back!
0:07:53 > 0:07:59I'm so sad you feel like this, but you know where I am if you need me.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03PA: 'Runners, take your positions now, please...'
0:08:03 > 0:08:07OK. Remember, weight on the balls of your feet, even strides...
0:08:07 > 0:08:12- Come on, now, please, clear the course.- Good luck.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15Right, on your marks,
0:08:15 > 0:08:18get set...
0:08:18 > 0:08:23KLAXON SOUNDS CROWD: Come on! You can do it...!
0:08:24 > 0:08:28- He'll never make it.- Yes, he will! - You better hope so, or else!
0:08:28 > 0:08:31- KERCHING!- Come on, Jackie!
0:08:34 > 0:08:40Easy! Now remember, always save the best till the last.
0:08:40 > 0:08:44Always keep a surprise up your sleeve until the very end!
0:09:04 > 0:09:09- Come on, Jackie!- Go on! I take it all back. He's amazing!
0:09:09 > 0:09:11Let me see!
0:09:20 > 0:09:22Tracy?
0:09:24 > 0:09:29What did she want? Fishing for new book ideas? Only reason she's here.
0:09:29 > 0:09:34- Yeah?- She told us she wished she'd never written the first one.
0:09:34 > 0:09:38- What?- She's gutted about you!
0:09:38 > 0:09:42- She's scared you'll never be mates again.- No, she's, she's just...
0:09:42 > 0:09:45I don't think so. ..Come on.
0:10:02 > 0:10:07- How do you wish you'd never written it!?- What?- Best thing you ever did!
0:10:07 > 0:10:12- You want to write for crummy newspapers?- I thought you hated it?
0:10:12 > 0:10:18- Just the end. The rest is great. - It doesn't have to be your ending.
0:10:18 > 0:10:23- No, maybe not.- Besides, you don't know what happens in the sequel.
0:10:23 > 0:10:28- So you are working on a sequel!- No! But, you know, I have some ideas.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30Thank goodness you talked to me.
0:10:30 > 0:10:35The first thing to do is to get Trudy out of that boring care home.
0:10:35 > 0:10:40Maybe she becomes an international pop star, or maybe an astronaut.
0:10:40 > 0:10:45- We've been here before! You don't give up, do you?- Grandpa!
0:10:46 > 0:10:51- Stand back, please! Give him some room.- Grandpa.- I'm OK.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53It's just a stitch.
0:10:56 > 0:11:00- Feel like a Christmas turkey! - Take it easy.
0:11:02 > 0:11:07- Jackie, I don't think I can finish, darling...- It's all right.
0:11:07 > 0:11:13- No, it's not. I want you to finish for me.- No.- Yeah! Yeah!
0:11:13 > 0:11:16I'm fine. Go on!
0:11:16 > 0:11:18Go on.
0:11:39 > 0:11:43GRANDPA: 'Always remember, save... your best till the last.
0:11:43 > 0:11:48'Keep a surprise up your sleeve until the very end...'
0:11:48 > 0:11:51CROWD APPLAUDS AND CHEERS
0:12:02 > 0:12:06- Where'd you find that finish?! Your time was awesome!- How's Grandpa?
0:12:06 > 0:12:11He gone back to the nursing home. A doctor's just checking him over.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26Grandpa?
0:12:26 > 0:12:29Grandpa...?
0:12:31 > 0:12:36Gave you a bit of a scare, eh? Don't think I'll try that again!
0:12:36 > 0:12:41- Did you finish it? - I didn't win, or anything.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44Don't matter.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46I came in the first three.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49I'm proud of you!
0:12:49 > 0:12:53- You see, that training paid off. - Yeah...
0:13:06 > 0:13:08Hi. How is he?
0:13:08 > 0:13:13- Very tired. Tough, though, isn't he?- Yep.
0:13:15 > 0:13:19- THEY ALL CHEER - It's all there. Every penny.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21- But, Grandpa didn't finish.- Right!
0:13:21 > 0:13:26- That's exactly what I...- Yes, he did. Didn't he?- YEAH!- Thanks.
0:13:26 > 0:13:31I'm letting you off training tomorrow. You need time to recover.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34Well done, Jackie.
0:13:34 > 0:13:40# I can make my world come true All my dreams will see me through
0:13:40 > 0:13:44- # And the fight won't get me down - No! No!
0:13:44 > 0:13:46# My dreams will turn things All around
0:13:46 > 0:13:51# With a smile upon my face I can see a better place
0:13:51 > 0:13:54- # It doesn't matter What may come my way...- No! No!
0:13:54 > 0:13:58# Believe me now I will win some day. #
