0:00:35 > 0:00:38BOTH: Look what he's doing to Dolly!

0:00:40 > 0:00:41Coward!

0:00:57 > 0:01:02- Are you all right?- Yeah. He said did I want to feed the fishes!

0:01:02 > 0:01:06- I didn't know he meant ME! - Come on, let's play.

0:01:06 > 0:01:08AA-RRR-RR!

0:01:08 > 0:01:11DOLLY SCREAMS

0:01:11 > 0:01:13Bullying, I'm afraid.

0:01:13 > 0:01:17- I don't like to tell, but... - You did the right thing.

0:01:17 > 0:01:23Tracy Beaker, Justine Littlewood, can I have a word, please?

0:01:23 > 0:01:27Can you believe that?! She thinks WE'RE picking on the tiddlers.

0:01:27 > 0:01:32- He's got to go. - The sooner he gets fostered, the better.- But who'd have him?!

0:01:32 > 0:01:36- You promised. - I said I'd try and sort something.

0:01:36 > 0:01:41- I want to see my grandpa. - I'd like someone to go with you.

0:01:41 > 0:01:46- I- could go with her. No, you're right. Bad idea. Never mind.

0:01:48 > 0:01:52Satisfied? Now there's two of us. SHE SNEEZES

0:01:52 > 0:01:55Watch my lips.

0:01:55 > 0:02:00It was Michael who was bullying Dolly.

0:02:04 > 0:02:06- Right, I give up.- Good.

0:02:06 > 0:02:11This nice couple have been in touch...again.

0:02:11 > 0:02:15They don't discourage easily. If you'd like to meet them, I could...

0:02:18 > 0:02:22Nobody in their right minds would live with these people.

0:02:22 > 0:02:28They're a total nightmare. Not to mention desperate. They'd foster anybody.

0:02:36 > 0:02:40- Tracy...- On second thoughts, could you set up at a meeting?

0:02:44 > 0:02:47- Who have you got? - What are you on about?

0:02:47 > 0:02:51Elaine's set us up with mystery families. It's like Blind Date -

0:02:51 > 0:02:55"Number 3, does your house ming of cabbage?"

0:02:57 > 0:03:01- "Michael - Barbara and Dave Crenshaw."- Ooh!

0:03:01 > 0:03:05- What, you know them?- I hope you like ballroom dancing.- Why?

0:03:05 > 0:03:09- She'll teach you. Just don't stare at her warts!- I don't wanna dance.

0:03:09 > 0:03:13You'll be happy just to get out of the car. They smoke - it reeks.

0:03:13 > 0:03:16- Of cigarettes?- No, cat sick(!)

0:03:17 > 0:03:20I could switch with you.

0:03:20 > 0:03:25- What do you want?- You'd better leave Dolly alone from now on. - Yes, all right.

0:03:34 > 0:03:38It's not too bad. Nice house, a good-sized garden.

0:03:38 > 0:03:42- It's the pits.- That's a bit harsh. - He shouldn't be in a nursing home.

0:03:42 > 0:03:46- There's nothing wrong with him. - Jackie? Jackie!- Grandpa!

0:03:46 > 0:03:51Hello, my love! They said you wasn't coming.

0:03:51 > 0:03:56They lied, then, didn't they? Grandpa, this is Crash.

0:03:56 > 0:03:58- Hi, nice to meet you.- Hello.

0:04:00 > 0:04:05- Oh, hi. Are you the...?- Bygraves, that's right.- You must be Tracy.

0:04:05 > 0:04:08- Let me look at you. - Tracy's not feeling very well.

0:04:08 > 0:04:13- Oh, dear.- That is a shame. - There's someone else.

0:04:13 > 0:04:17- He was meant to go out with another family, but they let him down.- Oh!

0:04:17 > 0:04:21You don't think he'd like to meet us, do you?

0:04:21 > 0:04:25I'd say there's quite a good chance. Follow me.

0:04:37 > 0:04:39Come and sit here, Michael.

0:04:44 > 0:04:48We're sorry the other lot let you down. Their loss.

0:04:48 > 0:04:50It must be so difficult.

0:04:50 > 0:04:52Yeah, well...

0:04:53 > 0:04:56I nearly forgot.

0:04:57 > 0:04:58Here.

0:05:01 > 0:05:05- It's a rhyming dictionary. - I bet you've not got one already.

0:05:05 > 0:05:08Um, no. Thanks.

0:05:08 > 0:05:11- Indispensable when you're writing a song.- Or poetry.

0:05:11 > 0:05:15I write the odd poem myself, Michael.

0:05:15 > 0:05:18Read him the one about the kittens.

0:05:18 > 0:05:21Um, could you excuse me a minute, please?

0:05:31 > 0:05:32(Michael!)

0:05:32 > 0:05:35Two people - loud.

0:05:35 > 0:05:39- Tell her that I'm sick.- Tracy said I don't have to do what you say.

0:05:39 > 0:05:43- Want to taste my cat o' nine tails? - Your what?!- You don't want to know.

0:05:43 > 0:05:48- How was I supposed to know? - Just how much are they?

0:05:48 > 0:05:52They just won the lottery. How much does that make you?

0:05:52 > 0:05:56- What if you didn't get on?- So what? I could go to boarding school,

0:05:56 > 0:06:00- have my own swimming pool and a pony.- Yeah. But what about Michael?

0:06:00 > 0:06:03He doesn't know yet.

0:06:03 > 0:06:06I will have to get them back off him before he twigs.

0:06:15 > 0:06:19- I'm afraid he's sick. Very, very sick.- And now,

0:06:19 > 0:06:23I'm much, much better. ..There. Now, beat it.

0:06:24 > 0:06:26Now then, where are we going?

0:06:30 > 0:06:33Bad luck, Beaker. Ka-ching!

0:06:42 > 0:06:44A hearse?!

0:06:45 > 0:06:49A funeral director, called Bygrave!

0:07:06 > 0:07:10So, there I was, everyone in the stadium on their feet,

0:07:10 > 0:07:14and this Belgian and me neck-and-neck.

0:07:14 > 0:07:17Carry on, I'll just get some drinks.

0:07:17 > 0:07:21My legs were like rubber. He gets in front,

0:07:21 > 0:07:25then keels over, so I crawl across the line on my knees!

0:07:25 > 0:07:29- You should have heard that crowd roar.- Wow! You're fitter than me.

0:07:29 > 0:07:32Oh, by the way, you didn't tell me,

0:07:32 > 0:07:36who's your young lady friend? She seems very nice.

0:07:40 > 0:07:44This is fantastic. You shouldn't have gone to this trouble for me.

0:07:44 > 0:07:47- Oh, it was no trouble. - That's right.

0:07:47 > 0:07:51Poor Tracey, to be missing this.

0:07:51 > 0:07:52Shame.

0:07:52 > 0:07:55It's so nice sitting here with you.

0:07:55 > 0:07:59- If you only knew how much we'd wanted...- Nelly...

0:07:59 > 0:08:05So, your lives are really going to change. Have you thought about what is going to be like?

0:08:05 > 0:08:07Oh, Michael, all the time.

0:08:07 > 0:08:11I just think we should be a bit careful.

0:08:11 > 0:08:13Very wise.

0:08:13 > 0:08:17- You don't want to go and blow it all now, do you?- We certainly don't.

0:08:37 > 0:08:40Would you care to try one of these, Michael?

0:08:43 > 0:08:47- What are they? - They're my wife's speciality.

0:08:47 > 0:08:49Liver rissoles.

0:08:52 > 0:08:54Delicious.

0:08:54 > 0:08:57Do you like singing? I bet you do.

0:08:57 > 0:09:00We're in a choir.

0:09:00 > 0:09:04- Maybe you could join if...- Nelly!

0:09:09 > 0:09:13I'm sure you know this one. Join in if you like.

0:09:13 > 0:09:16# Kumbaya, my Lord... #

0:09:16 > 0:09:20CHILDREN GIGGLE # Kumbaya

0:09:22 > 0:09:26# Kumbaya, my Lord

0:09:26 > 0:09:29# Kumbaya

0:09:29 > 0:09:33# Kumbaya, my Lord... #

0:09:38 > 0:09:40- Hi.- Hi.

0:09:40 > 0:09:44- This is a nice place.- You've been at the Dumping Ground too long!

0:09:44 > 0:09:48Look, it might not be such a bad idea for your grandpa to stay.

0:09:48 > 0:09:51Don't be stupid.

0:09:51 > 0:09:54No, really. He, er, asked me who you were.

0:09:54 > 0:09:57What do you mean?

0:09:57 > 0:10:01If he can't remember who you were, maybe he needs some looking after.

0:10:01 > 0:10:04Does that look like someone who needs looking after?!

0:10:09 > 0:10:13- We've so enjoyed today, Michael. - Me too.

0:10:13 > 0:10:17We'd like to have a word with Elaine about you, if it's OK.

0:10:17 > 0:10:20Start the ball rolling.

0:10:20 > 0:10:25Really? That's great. I mean, if you haven't got too much to think about.

0:10:25 > 0:10:29- With the big win, and everything. - Win?- Yeah.

0:10:29 > 0:10:32- We haven't won anything.- But...

0:10:32 > 0:10:35- What about the Lottery?- Lottery?

0:10:35 > 0:10:38We don't do that. It's a mug's game.

0:10:46 > 0:10:48What were you two thinking?!

0:10:48 > 0:10:51We were just trying to help.

0:10:51 > 0:10:54- Help?!- Him get fostered.

0:10:54 > 0:10:57You wish. Michael!

0:10:57 > 0:11:02The one day I was hoping for a break.

0:11:02 > 0:11:06- So you mean, he's not leaving? - No, Justine.

0:11:06 > 0:11:09So that's it, then.

0:11:09 > 0:11:13Er, not quite. There's something that I want both of you to do.

0:11:14 > 0:11:18- So that's the story. - It was just a bit of fun. Sorry.

0:11:20 > 0:11:24We can't have children, you see.

0:11:24 > 0:11:26Silly...to get our hopes up.

0:11:26 > 0:11:30But...it's everything, don't you think?

0:11:30 > 0:11:33Having your own family.

0:11:37 > 0:11:41- Yeah, you're right.- It is.

0:11:41 > 0:11:44Look, we're really, really sorry.

0:11:44 > 0:11:47- Honestly.- If there's anything we can do...- Anything.

0:11:49 > 0:11:52That's the end of visiting time.

0:11:52 > 0:11:58Oh, hello! Can I introduce my granddaughter, little Jackie Hopper?

0:11:58 > 0:12:00Not so little now, eh?

0:12:00 > 0:12:03Well, time to move along.

0:12:05 > 0:12:10You've got a very nice place here. Which is your room?

0:12:10 > 0:12:13This is where YOU live.

0:12:14 > 0:12:16Is it?

0:12:16 > 0:12:18Oh, that's right.

0:12:18 > 0:12:21Miss you, love.

0:12:21 > 0:12:23I'll be back soon.

0:12:28 > 0:12:34- I could slip him out, if you stall the nurses for a minute.- Jackie!

0:12:34 > 0:12:37I don't think this is a good idea. Sorry.

0:12:37 > 0:12:41Don't worry. I'll get him out one way or another.

0:12:49 > 0:12:51Morning!

0:12:53 > 0:12:57Ah! Girls, we'll put yesterday behind us, shall we?

0:12:57 > 0:13:01- I've got new foster parents to show you.- I don't think so.

0:13:01 > 0:13:05- Too much of a minefield. - Who knew adults have feelings?

0:13:05 > 0:13:08- Besides, we've got a visit.- Oh?

0:13:08 > 0:13:12With who? CAR HORN BLARES

0:13:34 > 0:13:39# I can make my world come true All my dreams will see my through

0:13:39 > 0:13:42- # And the fight won't get me down - No! No!

0:13:42 > 0:13:44# My dreams will turn things All around

0:13:44 > 0:13:49# With a smile upon my face I can see a better place

0:13:49 > 0:13:52- # It doesn't matter What may come my way...- No! No!

0:13:52 > 0:13:57# Believe me now I will win some day. #
