0:00:06 > 0:00:11# I can make my world come true All my dreams will see me through
0:00:11 > 0:00:14- # It doesn't matter What may come my way...- No! No!
0:00:14 > 0:00:18# Believe me now I will win some day. #
0:00:22 > 0:00:25- Is that your impression of a door-stop, Rio?- Tracy Beaker...
0:00:25 > 0:00:27you can't come in unless you say...
0:00:27 > 0:00:29"Please, Lord Rio,
0:00:29 > 0:00:30"may I enter your residence?"
0:00:30 > 0:00:33OK. I'll say it if you can spell it.
0:00:35 > 0:00:39Wow - you've got your trousers on the right way round! Special day(?)
0:00:39 > 0:00:42Ah, Tracy, I'm afraid you can't stay. We're expecting an inspector.
0:00:42 > 0:00:45- Ah, so that's why you look so worried.- Mmm.
0:00:45 > 0:00:47The annual review by the National Care Standards Commission
0:00:47 > 0:00:49can identify areas of concern in a care home.
0:00:49 > 0:00:51OK, I'm going.
0:00:52 > 0:00:53You see, when you get fostered,
0:00:53 > 0:00:56you don't have to worry about inspections.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58I've got it made, living with Cam.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00So how come you're always round here then, eh?
0:01:00 > 0:01:03Because I feel sorry for everyone else
0:01:03 > 0:01:06having to live with you little maggots. See you later.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10Roar! Eeh!
0:01:10 > 0:01:11Right...
0:01:11 > 0:01:15now all we have to do is make sure ELAINE doesn't talk to him.
0:01:15 > 0:01:19ARABIC MUSIC PLAYS
0:01:40 > 0:01:42Oh, hi, Tracy!
0:01:42 > 0:01:45Anything wrong at the Dumping Ground?
0:01:45 > 0:01:47- MUSIC STOPS - I had to come back,
0:01:47 > 0:01:49cos they're having an inspection. Residents only, Sid said.
0:01:49 > 0:01:54Oh, shame. But look what I got down the charity shop - two quid it cost!
0:01:54 > 0:01:55Ugh, Cam!
0:01:55 > 0:01:58Don't ever, ever wear that top -
0:01:58 > 0:02:02not even to scare people. How did I end up with you as a foster mum?
0:02:02 > 0:02:05If I was an inspector, I'd close you down.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08Oh, no point asking me to help with your maths homework.
0:02:08 > 0:02:12Actually, this chart is to measure your progress.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14- My progress? - Yeah. I'm putting you on review.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17I used to get reviewed every year at the Dumping Ground
0:02:17 > 0:02:19- to see how I was getting on.- Oh...
0:02:19 > 0:02:21Oh, Cam, you're squishing my chart.
0:02:21 > 0:02:26OK, so you haven't been a total disaster as a foster parent, but...
0:02:26 > 0:02:29I have identified areas of concern.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32So I will be awarding points for quality of meals,
0:02:32 > 0:02:36personal style and, most important, QTT -
0:02:36 > 0:02:38Quality Tracy Time.
0:02:38 > 0:02:39Right.
0:02:39 > 0:02:43And you'll see I've started you off at minus ten for that top.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48No, no, Mr Rooney. I'll find my own way.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50I prefer to look around without the staff.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52Of course. Have you seen the kitchen?
0:02:52 > 0:02:56Ah, Elaine! You're early. I've got something to show you in my office.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58- Ah... - Yeah, in my office, quick.
0:02:58 > 0:03:02So who wants to try and get this care home closed down as well?
0:03:04 > 0:03:07This form goes on and on!
0:03:07 > 0:03:09Does Mr Pincher really need all this information
0:03:09 > 0:03:11- before he can talk to me?- Yep.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14- Me and Duke filled one out. - It'll take me ages.- Mmm!
0:03:14 > 0:03:16An hour and 47 minutes...
0:03:17 > 0:03:18..I'm guessing.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22Does that look mouldy to you?
0:03:24 > 0:03:25You're an artist, you are.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31Can you tell me how you look after the children's emotional welfare?
0:03:31 > 0:03:33Mr Rooney was a bit vague.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35Is...your social worker here today?
0:03:36 > 0:03:38Mini muffin?
0:03:39 > 0:03:43Well, er, we do have a social worker,
0:03:43 > 0:03:45but that's only one way that we...
0:03:47 > 0:03:52Personally, I find a nice tea usually fixes everything!
0:03:52 > 0:03:55You use food as a substitute for counselling?
0:03:55 > 0:03:58Oh, no, no, goodness...! No, no.
0:03:58 > 0:04:02I just meant... Well, everybody likes a tasty treat...
0:04:04 > 0:04:07(..except you, apparently.)
0:04:07 > 0:04:09Hello, Mr Pincher.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12Would you like to look round the home with me and my sister?
0:04:12 > 0:04:14Yes, I think I will.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23This isn't exactly what I was expecting.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27- You don't all share this room, I hope?- No.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30(Remember what Sid said - we're not to say.)
0:04:30 > 0:04:32Hmm...
0:04:32 > 0:04:33What the...?!
0:04:33 > 0:04:36This bedding isn't very thick.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38We're very grateful for it, Mr Pincher.
0:04:38 > 0:04:42We stick it out as best we can. Good thing we got one another.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44Not like that poor kid - "Ribbit, ribbit!"
0:04:44 > 0:04:47He was all right before he came here.
0:04:50 > 0:04:54Carrot and pumpkin-seed salad? Do I look like a hamster(?)
0:04:54 > 0:04:57Hey! I can't be doing THAT badly.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02But I made you that mango and pineapple smoothie! You love them!
0:05:02 > 0:05:05And what does that say? "Ham"?
0:05:05 > 0:05:07Why do I loose points for ham?
0:05:07 > 0:05:09We don't even have ham - I'm a vegetarian!
0:05:09 > 0:05:11It's not "ham" - it's "hair".
0:05:11 > 0:05:14And I should knock off points for you being a veggie.
0:05:14 > 0:05:15Hold it right there, Tracy Beaker.
0:05:15 > 0:05:19If you get to review my progress, I'm going to review yours!
0:05:19 > 0:05:21Review me? But there's nothing wrong with me.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23I'm the world's perfect foster daughter!
0:05:23 > 0:05:26Well, we'll see, won't we? Game on!
0:05:28 > 0:05:31Well...
0:05:31 > 0:05:33I hope Mr Pincher appreciates this!
0:05:33 > 0:05:37Oh, Elaine. Ah, would you give me a hand?
0:05:37 > 0:05:39I've got to plant some herbs in the vegetable patch,
0:05:39 > 0:05:41and your advice would be priceless.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44I'm waiting for the inspector, Duke.
0:05:44 > 0:05:48Oh, he'll be ages yet. I'll give you a shout when he's done.
0:05:48 > 0:05:52And what you don't know about parsley isn't worth knowing.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54Oh!
0:05:54 > 0:05:56All right.
0:06:00 > 0:06:04I want you to feel that you can be completely honest with me.
0:06:04 > 0:06:08Now, is...is there anything you're not happy about, here in Cliffside?
0:06:11 > 0:06:14Well, it'd be nice not to have to wash in cold water.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16You mean hot water is rationed?
0:06:16 > 0:06:18No. It's just a dodgy boiler.
0:06:18 > 0:06:22And it'd be nice not to have to share a room with this spanner.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25- Who you calling a spanner?- You.
0:06:27 > 0:06:31Yes, um, overcrowding does seem to be an issue here.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33Not really.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35Ribbit, Ribbit!
0:06:35 > 0:06:37Hello, little boy!
0:06:38 > 0:06:41I'm not a little boy - I'm a frog.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43Ribbit, ribbit!
0:06:49 > 0:06:52It's a voucher... for the IMAX cinema!
0:06:52 > 0:06:54I know what it is, Cam - I CAN read.
0:06:54 > 0:06:58- Well, if you don't want it... - No, no. I want it! Bye!
0:06:58 > 0:07:00Yay! Points to me!
0:07:02 > 0:07:04What have you done to your room?
0:07:04 > 0:07:05Do you like it?
0:07:05 > 0:07:09We're trying to show that inspector what a rubbish care home this is.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12But he can close us down if it fails the inspection.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14It's what we do when we don't like somewhere.
0:07:14 > 0:07:18- We don't like a lot of places. - If they close it, they'll move us,
0:07:18 > 0:07:21and we'll have to fit in somewhere else with kids like you!
0:07:21 > 0:07:23So? We don't care.
0:07:23 > 0:07:24We've got each other.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27Well, I care. Another place might be ten times worse!
0:07:27 > 0:07:30You could be messing up all our lives again,
0:07:30 > 0:07:31just for a laugh.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35I'm always really pleased to help,
0:07:35 > 0:07:38but I'm a social worker, not a gardener,
0:07:38 > 0:07:41- and I really wasn't appropriately dressed...- Thank you, Elaine.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44If you'd just put these away in the pantry, that'd be lovely.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52There he is! Um, Mr Pincher!
0:07:52 > 0:07:54- It's really nice here!- Yeah!
0:07:54 > 0:07:56We're all really happy,
0:07:56 > 0:07:59we've got loads to eat and can watch telly and everything.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01That wasn't what some of you said before.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03Has someone been talking to you?
0:08:03 > 0:08:04Yeah.
0:08:04 > 0:08:08Oh, I mean, no... Um, Sid and Duke haven't been talking to us,
0:08:08 > 0:08:11and they definitely haven't been telling us what to say or anything.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13What? What?
0:08:16 > 0:08:19And I just wish that sometimes it wasn't so curly.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22At least it's not like yours, though.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24Well, I think your hair's lovely, Tracy.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29I hope you feel a bit better after that little chat.
0:08:29 > 0:08:30What do you mean?
0:08:30 > 0:08:33Well, I've helped you get something off your chest. That's therapy...
0:08:33 > 0:08:37which has got to be worth...hmm, at least 20 points!
0:08:37 > 0:08:42Oh, yeah? Well, get this, Miss Sneaky - I hate therapy,
0:08:42 > 0:08:44so that's minus 20 points!
0:08:44 > 0:08:47Help!
0:08:48 > 0:08:52Thank you, Roxy. I don't know what happened to Duke.
0:08:53 > 0:08:57Elaine, one of your therapy sessions would be really good
0:08:57 > 0:08:58with that inspector.
0:08:58 > 0:08:59What a good idea!
0:09:01 > 0:09:03I suppose you'd better let her out.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06Just keep her out of you-know-who's way.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09< I'll gather everyone together after lunch, Mr Pincher.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12My therapy sessions always help the children express themselves.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19- (She must have escaped!)- Ah...
0:09:19 > 0:09:23OK. Who's got something they'd like to say?
0:09:23 > 0:09:27- SNORING - Anyone?
0:09:27 > 0:09:28Anyone at all?
0:09:28 > 0:09:30Don't be shy.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32Elaine...?
0:09:32 > 0:09:34Yes, Roxy, what is it?
0:09:34 > 0:09:37You know Catty, my pet caterpillar?
0:09:37 > 0:09:38Um...
0:09:38 > 0:09:40um...
0:09:40 > 0:09:41Duke took him away.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43Oh, dear, um...
0:09:44 > 0:09:46Were you close?
0:09:46 > 0:09:50Catty was my very, very, very best friend, and I loved him.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02SCREAMING
0:10:06 > 0:10:09Stop lying! Duke would never do anything like that.
0:10:09 > 0:10:10You never had a caterpillar anyway!
0:10:11 > 0:10:15He's got so mean since Duke took away his weasel.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20Oh, never mind about homework for now.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22Let's have some Quality Tracy Time.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25- What do you want to do? - What do YOU want to do?
0:10:25 > 0:10:29- I mean it. What do you want to do? - No, what do YOU want to do?
0:10:29 > 0:10:32Oh, you're freaking me out! Can we just forget about earning points?
0:10:32 > 0:10:36I knew it! You only want to stop, because you're losing!
0:10:36 > 0:10:38Don't take it so seriously!
0:10:39 > 0:10:42And that's minus 50 points for getting a cob on.
0:10:42 > 0:10:43SLAM!
0:10:43 > 0:10:45And minus 30 for slamming the door!
0:10:51 > 0:10:54Tracy Beaker! Just in time! Come on.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59What about the children's bedrooms?
0:10:59 > 0:11:01And that poor boy who thinks he's a frog?
0:11:01 > 0:11:04Now, the changes I am going to recommend are...
0:11:04 > 0:11:07GONG CLANGS
0:11:12 > 0:11:14And you are...?
0:11:14 > 0:11:18Tracy Beaker - gorgeous, super-cool,
0:11:18 > 0:11:20used to live here, now in a foster home.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22I understand - you're scared to admit
0:11:22 > 0:11:25what it's really like here in front of Mr Rooney.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28Why would I be scared of Sid? I don't live here any more.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31You've been scammed by these amateurs.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33- WELLARDS:- Dunno what you mean.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36Mr Pincher. Let me tell you about the Wellards.
0:11:36 > 0:11:40Face it - reviews are a complete waste of time!
0:11:41 > 0:11:44Well, thank you, Mr Pincher.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47And I must say you were a hit with the Wellards -
0:11:47 > 0:11:50they only tease people that they really, really like.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53Yes. A very good joke!
0:11:53 > 0:11:55A-hem.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58The children's...high-spiritedness clearly shows
0:11:58 > 0:12:00they must be comfortable here.
0:12:00 > 0:12:04Yes. Well...goodbye, Mr Rooney.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06Goodbye, Mr Pincher.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12Having a little bit of fun at the inspector's expense, were we?
0:12:12 > 0:12:16It's like you said, Sid - we must have really, really liked him.
0:12:16 > 0:12:20Well, let's see how you really like re-painting your room, shall we?
0:12:56 > 0:12:58Why did you do that? You were winning.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00Reviews are for losers.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03- I don't know why you did it. - I thought it mattered to you.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06It's rubbish. There's no point in trying to change you -
0:13:06 > 0:13:09I am lumbered with you the way you are.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11But if you go shopping at charity shops,
0:13:11 > 0:13:13at least take me with you.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15Well, thanks, Tracy.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18And of course you do have your faults, too.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20Yeah, I said that.
0:13:20 > 0:13:21No, you didn't.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23Yeah, I did.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26- No, I don't think you did. - I think you'll find I did, Cam.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28- No, you didn't.- Yes, I did.
0:13:28 > 0:13:29- Didn't.- Did.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31Not.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35Did you know that the dictionary definition of Beaker
0:13:35 > 0:13:37was "clever, funny and gorgeous"?
0:13:38 > 0:13:40It's not?
0:13:40 > 0:13:43Well, it should be!
0:13:45 > 0:13:47Are you sure this is supposed to be fun?
0:13:47 > 0:13:51Tracy, this is what families do. It's not about fun.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54Why can't we phone for a pizza like normal people?
0:13:54 > 0:13:56Because normal people are boring.
0:13:59 > 0:14:00You did that on purpose!
0:14:00 > 0:14:02If only I could be so accurate!
0:14:04 > 0:14:06Let's get that scraped off.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08DOORBELL RINGS Ooh! Visitors!
0:14:08 > 0:14:11Cam!
0:14:11 > 0:14:13- Hi, Cam!- Hello.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16Don't worry, I'm not checking up on you or...
0:14:36 > 0:14:39It's tomato sauce, Elaine.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42Oh...of course. I knew that.
0:14:45 > 0:14:46DOOR OPENS
0:14:46 > 0:14:50- Was that in the letter your mum sent?- It's her engagement ring.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52She doesn't want it any more.
0:14:52 > 0:14:54It reminds her of my dad.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57Um, it's...a nice big stone.
0:14:57 > 0:14:58Diamond?
0:14:58 > 0:15:01Glass. Cheap, nasty and tasteless -
0:15:01 > 0:15:02my dad all over.
0:15:07 > 0:15:08Let me get this straight -
0:15:08 > 0:15:12you want me to spend the whole afternoon
0:15:12 > 0:15:15with a load of scuzzy social workers and weirdo care kids?
0:15:15 > 0:15:16It's a party -
0:15:16 > 0:15:19a special reception, organised by Kidz-In-Kare magazine
0:15:19 > 0:15:20at the Saracen Hotel!
0:15:20 > 0:15:23It's very posh, and they do most delightful cakes.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25- And all you have to do is...- What?
0:15:25 > 0:15:29You mean on top of everything else, there's a catch?!
0:15:29 > 0:15:33All you have to do is mention how pleased you are
0:15:33 > 0:15:37I've managed to get you both in a successful fostering situation.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50# So so so scandalous... #
0:16:06 > 0:16:08But I...
0:16:08 > 0:16:10Sorry, Elaine, but today is Saturday.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13Thanks to your successful handling of my fostering,
0:16:13 > 0:16:17- I don't need to listen to people like you on a Saturday.- But I...
0:16:17 > 0:16:20- I thought you might like these.- Oh!
0:16:20 > 0:16:24This reception's being sponsored by a firm who makes training shoes.
0:16:24 > 0:16:25Bribery, Elaine?
0:16:25 > 0:16:27It's not bribery, it's a free gift!
0:16:27 > 0:16:32You don't have to come, Tracy. It's just that...
0:16:32 > 0:16:35I always thought of you as...special.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47- Oh, it's working, then.- What?
0:16:47 > 0:16:49Elaine's bribe. Sorry, "gift".
0:16:49 > 0:16:53I'd rather eat a dog bogey sandwich than go to Elaine's stupid...
0:16:56 > 0:16:57Is something burning?
0:16:57 > 0:16:59Oh, the pizza!
0:17:01 > 0:17:03Oh!
0:17:03 > 0:17:05What are we going to do for lunch?
0:17:05 > 0:17:07What do you mean "we"?
0:17:07 > 0:17:10- Where are you going?- Well, I'm having my lunch at a posh hotel.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12Apparently, they do the most delightful cakes.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19Far be it from me to state the obvious,
0:17:19 > 0:17:22but won't all that tugging make your finger swell up?
0:17:22 > 0:17:24What are you up to?
0:17:24 > 0:17:28Chantal's got this stupid ring stuck on her finger.
0:17:28 > 0:17:32- But...that's Crash's Mum's ring! - No, it isn't! It's mine!
0:17:32 > 0:17:37- Liar, it's mine!- Oi! If my sister says it's hers, it's hers...
0:17:37 > 0:17:41- even though I haven't seen it before.- Whoa!
0:17:41 > 0:17:44People, people, people...
0:17:44 > 0:17:48I'm sure we can sort this out in a calm and rational manner.
0:17:52 > 0:17:57'Welcome to the Lawrence Plakova Show! Protector of the peace!
0:17:57 > 0:18:00'Fighter of fights! Soother of sorrows!
0:18:00 > 0:18:06'Now please welcome your host, Laurence Plakova!'
0:18:06 > 0:18:09RAPTUROUS APPLAUSE
0:18:14 > 0:18:16AUDIENCE: Go, Lawrence! Go, Lawrence!
0:18:16 > 0:18:19AMERICAN ACCENT: He accuses her of trespassing and theft.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21She says that's crazy talk.
0:18:21 > 0:18:22Who's right? You decide!
0:18:22 > 0:18:24- ALL:- Go, Lawrence! Go, Lawrence!
0:18:24 > 0:18:26Go, go, go, Lawrence!
0:18:26 > 0:18:27This is stupid.
0:18:27 > 0:18:31Chantal... So, you say this ring is yours.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33Yeah, I found it. Finder's keepers.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35Not when you find things in other people's rooms!
0:18:35 > 0:18:38Honestly - details, details, details.
0:18:38 > 0:18:39Boo!
0:18:39 > 0:18:41Boo!
0:18:48 > 0:18:50Guys, guys, you must try to understand one another.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53This meaningless aggression is not healthy.
0:19:08 > 0:19:12Isn't that shop a little too...stylish for you, Beaker?
0:19:13 > 0:19:17Well, well, well - Justine Littlewood.
0:19:32 > 0:19:33Is that make-up you're wearing
0:19:33 > 0:19:36or are you on your way to a clowns' convention?
0:19:36 > 0:19:39I hear the Dumping Ground finally managed to get rid of you.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42- I wish I'd been at the party afterwards.- You were!
0:19:42 > 0:19:45Haven't you heard of the Justine Littlewood dartboard?
0:19:45 > 0:19:48They only bring it out on special occasions -
0:19:48 > 0:19:51- it scares the younger kids.- Well, it's been wonderful catching up,
0:19:51 > 0:19:55- but some of us have more important things to do.- Yeah, some of us do.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00Look, Crash's door was open.
0:20:00 > 0:20:04I might have seen the ring out of the corner of my eye.
0:20:04 > 0:20:10I might have wandered in and...accidentally tried it on.
0:20:10 > 0:20:11Boo!
0:20:11 > 0:20:13Boo!
0:20:13 > 0:20:15I don't have very many nice things.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17Aww!
0:20:22 > 0:20:23Duke?!
0:20:23 > 0:20:24Tracy!
0:20:24 > 0:20:27Elaine's suckered you into this as well, has she?
0:20:27 > 0:20:28No-one suckers the Beaker into anything.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31Whatever you say. Nice trainers!
0:20:33 > 0:20:35Duke?! Beaker?!
0:20:35 > 0:20:40Justine! This is like a school reunion. I may cry!
0:20:40 > 0:20:45But...Elaine personally invited me to this official reception.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48This official reception where Kidz-In-Kare magazine
0:20:48 > 0:20:51are doing a big photo-spread on "your favourite social worker"?
0:20:51 > 0:20:53But I don't have a...
0:20:53 > 0:20:55- BOTH:- Elaine the Pain!
0:20:55 > 0:20:58In a magazine? With pictures?
0:20:58 > 0:21:01But what happened to all those laws about taste and decency?
0:21:16 > 0:21:19There are half a dozen of Elaine's other kids in there.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22- I don't know how she does it! - Half a dozen?
0:21:22 > 0:21:24But Elaine said I was special...
0:21:24 > 0:21:28And you believed her? You must be even dumber than I...
0:21:28 > 0:21:31Dumber than you? Now, that's a frightening thought!
0:21:42 > 0:21:45Mmm, delightful!
0:21:47 > 0:21:50It's Elaine with an I...obviously. And the surname's spelt...
0:21:50 > 0:21:53Oh, of course you know that - how silly of me.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56It's just that...I just feel so honoured to be here...
0:21:56 > 0:21:59- Elaine! You said that- I- was the only one here!
0:21:59 > 0:22:03Justine! Tracy! How lovely to see you! So glad you could make it.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06My other success stories are over there.
0:22:06 > 0:22:10- But Elaine, you said that...- Tracy, dear, can't you see we're talking(?)
0:22:10 > 0:22:13(He's writing an article - it's all about me!
0:22:13 > 0:22:16(So leave us in peace, will you?) There's a good girl.
0:22:16 > 0:22:20Of course, it's all about the children.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22Their welfare is central to every single decision I make.
0:22:22 > 0:22:26I can't stress that strongly enough. It's a question of experience...
0:22:26 > 0:22:27It wasn't me!
0:22:27 > 0:22:30I'm sorry. I thought I saw you talking to Elaine Boyack.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32Is she your social worker?
0:22:32 > 0:22:33Well, I...
0:22:33 > 0:22:36I'm a journalist with Kidz-In-Kare magazine, you see,
0:22:36 > 0:22:40and I wonder if you could talk to me about your relationship with her.
0:22:41 > 0:22:44You can't mess with other people's property! Those are the rules!
0:22:44 > 0:22:48- You'll have your ring back when I get it off.- I don't want it!
0:22:49 > 0:22:54I mean...I do - it just...
0:22:54 > 0:22:56it just brings back bad memories.
0:22:56 > 0:23:01- You can throw it in the bin for all I care!- Crash?
0:23:03 > 0:23:06Does this mean I can keep it?
0:23:06 > 0:23:08Boo! Boo!
0:23:08 > 0:23:12..and then there were those stupid activity days she made us do.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15..of course, one of my strengths has been organising activity days...
0:23:21 > 0:23:23Do you remember the time she drove us 20 miles
0:23:23 > 0:23:27so we could sit in a field and think about nothingness?
0:23:27 > 0:23:28..and teaching meditation,
0:23:28 > 0:23:31encouraging the children to be as one with nature...
0:23:42 > 0:23:46We had to go to the toilet in a hedge...with nettles!
0:23:46 > 0:23:49..first aid. Oh, and a wide range of alternative therapies...
0:23:49 > 0:23:53No, no, the worst one was when she brought in those big spongy hammers,
0:23:53 > 0:23:57so the kids could work out their aggressions on one another.
0:23:57 > 0:23:59And then she wondered why they went after HER!
0:23:59 > 0:24:01..not to mention conflict resolution...
0:24:01 > 0:24:05We're a team and all good teams work well together,
0:24:05 > 0:24:08so let's show everyone what a great team we are!
0:24:08 > 0:24:10Oh.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13In fact, I've got some letters here from some children
0:24:13 > 0:24:16who've appreciated the way I've helped them change, develop and...
0:24:16 > 0:24:21I'm sure they'd have given you a doggy bag, if you'd asked.
0:24:21 > 0:24:25Well, you...you could say that, um, I'm the cream of the crop!
0:24:25 > 0:24:26You can quote me on that.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28Quote you?!
0:24:28 > 0:24:31Yes, you know, in your article.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33I don't know anything about any article.
0:24:33 > 0:24:38I just heard there were some delightful free cakes going in here.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41I had been hoping to enjoy them in peace and quiet!
0:24:51 > 0:24:54I have nothing else worth stealing.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56We got it off.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58Soap.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01It hurt, actually.
0:25:01 > 0:25:02Good.
0:25:02 > 0:25:06Listen, I didn't mean to upset you.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09I mean, we've all got bad memories, haven't we?
0:25:17 > 0:25:20But of course...
0:25:20 > 0:25:22on the whole,
0:25:22 > 0:25:27Elaine's a highly effective and professional social worker.
0:25:28 > 0:25:31Wouldn't you say so, ladies?
0:25:31 > 0:25:33Anyway,
0:25:33 > 0:25:37- best be off home. Bye, girls. - See you, Duke.- Bye.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40He's got so many great stories, hasn't he?
0:25:40 > 0:25:42And so much experience as well.
0:25:42 > 0:25:45Yes, he's much more interesting than Elaine.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48I, er, wonder if anyone's ever written an article about him.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50I wonder!
0:25:52 > 0:25:54- Bye, girls!- Bye!- Bye!
0:25:56 > 0:25:59I see leaving the Dumping Ground hasn't made you any less evil.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02I'm not evil, Justine - I'm misunderstood.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07Mind you, the thing about the DG is...
0:26:07 > 0:26:10well, there was always something happening.
0:26:10 > 0:26:15I mean, I love living with Dad and Carrie and the baby,
0:26:15 > 0:26:19but sometimes...well, it can just get the teeniest bit...
0:26:21 > 0:26:22- Boring?- Mmm.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28That was the journalist from Kidz-In-Kare magazine, wasn't it?
0:26:28 > 0:26:29I don't know. We didn't ask.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32I know what you've been doing - saying mean things about me.
0:26:32 > 0:26:35She'll be back, because I'm a professional.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38- The story is... right here!- Sure is!
0:26:46 > 0:26:49Delightful!
0:26:49 > 0:26:51# I can make my world come true
0:26:51 > 0:26:53# All my dreams will see me through
0:26:53 > 0:26:55# And this life won't get me down
0:26:55 > 0:26:58# My dreams will turn things all around
0:26:58 > 0:27:00# With a smile upon my face
0:27:00 > 0:27:02# I can see a better place
0:27:02 > 0:27:05# Doesn't matter what may come my way
0:27:05 > 0:27:06# Believe me now
0:27:06 > 0:27:08# I will win some day. #
