0:00:06 > 0:00:09# I can make my world come true
0:00:09 > 0:00:11# 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. #
0:00:18 > 0:00:20BOTH: One, two, three.
0:00:20 > 0:00:23One, two, three. One, two, three...
0:00:23 > 0:00:25Ha-ha! I win.
0:00:25 > 0:00:28What? My scissors beat your paper!
0:00:28 > 0:00:32It's not paper, it's a big, fat laser cannon!
0:00:32 > 0:00:36Your scissors have been disintegrated! Ha-ha!
0:00:36 > 0:00:38Big, fat laser! Big, fat laser!
0:00:38 > 0:00:40- Don't!- Big, fat laser!
0:00:51 > 0:00:54Anyway, I wanna do something else.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00I'm bored!
0:01:00 > 0:01:02Where is everyone today?
0:01:03 > 0:01:05BORED!
0:01:09 > 0:01:11What are you up to?
0:01:11 > 0:01:16- We're very busy.- We've been working out how to make maps.
0:01:16 > 0:01:21Layla's got a theory. Now all we need to do is put it into practice.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27- Om!- >
0:01:30 > 0:01:32Om!
0:01:35 > 0:01:36Om!
0:01:36 > 0:01:40Do you mind? I'm trying to meditate.
0:01:40 > 0:01:45- Om!- It's no good. Everyone's doing their own thing. What can we do?
0:01:45 > 0:01:46Om!
0:01:47 > 0:01:50BORED!
0:01:56 > 0:01:59CAR DOOR CLOSES
0:01:59 > 0:02:04I remember when I was a student. It's awful, not knowing what to do.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07Being lost and alone and feeling useless.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10If you don't know what to do, just watch me.
0:02:10 > 0:02:15- Just...watch...you.- Yes.
0:02:15 > 0:02:19- Have you done much work with children?- Not yet, but, er...
0:02:19 > 0:02:23- I have been reading this. - Oh, Get With The Kids.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26I can't wait to try it and get serious.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29Oh, well, no time like the present.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31Jackie, Crash...
0:02:31 > 0:02:33Come.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35Meet Kez.
0:02:35 > 0:02:39- She's our trainee social worker. - Yo, kids! What's up?
0:02:39 > 0:02:41Um, you seem bling.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43Word.
0:02:43 > 0:02:47Oh, wait, I'm supposed to do a special handshake.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50I can't believe I forgot! That's just basic.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52Um...so...
0:02:55 > 0:02:58Is it fist and fingers? Or...?
0:03:02 > 0:03:04OK?
0:03:04 > 0:03:06Bye.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14Time to have some fun.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30- Ready?- Yeah.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34OK...now!
0:03:34 > 0:03:36- Hey! Look where you're going.- Yeah.
0:03:36 > 0:03:40Good. Be creative with your anger.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43It's because you have abandonment issues.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46It's all right. Panic over. I'm back.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49Hello. I'm Kez. Word.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54Who are you?
0:03:54 > 0:03:57I'm sorry? You don't know who I am?
0:03:57 > 0:04:00You don't need to know who she is. She's a has-been.
0:04:00 > 0:04:05In my day, we had standards. Now, they let in any old rubbish.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07I thought dinosaurs were extinct.
0:04:07 > 0:04:11Put your hand up, who's been fostered. ..Oh, just me then.
0:04:11 > 0:04:16Oh, have you? That's fascinating. Maybe we can talk later.
0:04:16 > 0:04:22I might have a free window, but now I've been fostered, I'm very busy.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25I can't stand Tracy Beaker. Come on.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27Mm, conflict issues.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30I haven't done that yet.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33Can I just talk to you for one second about...?
0:04:33 > 0:04:37OK, but not now, Kaz, Kez or whatever your name is.
0:04:39 > 0:04:40Adult alert!
0:04:43 > 0:04:47Crash, Jackie, how wonderful to see you. Let's catch up.
0:04:47 > 0:04:51I'm having a great time. I'm really busy.
0:04:51 > 0:04:55Busy, busy, busy. My days are just packed.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57Yo, kids!
0:04:57 > 0:05:00What's up? Blingin' blingin'.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03Um, just keeping it real.
0:05:03 > 0:05:09Tracy, could we have that chat about being an expert in fostering?
0:05:09 > 0:05:11Expert in fostering?
0:05:11 > 0:05:16Yes, you can learn a lot from the Beaker fostering success story.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19I never want to be fostered. Thanks, but no thanks.
0:05:19 > 0:05:24It's cool! Moving on, moving out. Now I'm living in the real world...
0:05:24 > 0:05:30- Yeah, later, Tracy.- We don't want to keep you from your busy schedule.
0:05:31 > 0:05:32Ahem!
0:05:41 > 0:05:46- Tracy, um...- Bye, Tracy. - So, can we have that chat now?
0:05:48 > 0:05:49Word!
0:05:49 > 0:05:51ALL: Word.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55Blood, I need blood!
0:05:55 > 0:05:57Not now, Marco. Maybe later.
0:05:57 > 0:06:01- Don't even think about it. - So, we all know our target?
0:06:01 > 0:06:04An inexperienced, untrained social worker.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06Fresh blood!
0:06:06 > 0:06:10In Kez's book, it says she has to do whatever we want.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13So, let's use it against her. ..Rio.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16- You're up first.- Why am I the pig?
0:06:17 > 0:06:22Er, well, all right, you can be the toad.
0:06:22 > 0:06:23Ha-ha!
0:06:24 > 0:06:27SHE MUTTERS UNDER HER BREATH
0:06:29 > 0:06:34Do you mind if we stop for a bit, Tracy? I can't feel my fingers.
0:06:34 > 0:06:38Oh, there you are, Kez. I've been looking for you.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41So? How have you been getting on?
0:06:41 > 0:06:46Tracy's theories on fostering have been fascinating!
0:06:46 > 0:06:48- You've been helping Kez?- Mm-hm.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51That's great, Tracy!
0:06:51 > 0:06:56As you're doing so well, how about taking the children this afternoon?
0:06:56 > 0:07:01Tracy, you can help. Your fostering experiences will be interesting.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03Yes, you're right.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06I am interesting.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23Kez, I think you dropped this.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25Oh, my book on establishing trust.
0:07:25 > 0:07:30It's important to show children in care you can fulfil their needs.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33Interesting. I need £5.
0:07:33 > 0:07:34What for?
0:07:35 > 0:07:37Chapter six.
0:07:37 > 0:07:43I haven't seen Dad in ages. I don't know if I can trust an adult again.
0:07:43 > 0:07:47Oh, dear. Fulfil your needs. Fulfil your needs!
0:07:47 > 0:07:49Where did I put my purse?
0:07:53 > 0:07:54Thank you.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03Hello, I'm Hayley.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06- Hayley?- Yeah, my mum wanted a girl.
0:08:06 > 0:08:10Anyway, Lol here needs special food combinations made for her.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13Without sugar every hour, she dies.
0:08:15 > 0:08:16I'd die.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19Right, then, sugar. Sugar.
0:08:19 > 0:08:23In there. Yeah, just in that one over there.
0:08:23 > 0:08:27Oh, thanks. We need lots of chocolate. She needs loads.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29Thank you, you're saving her life.
0:08:31 > 0:08:32Ah!
0:08:33 > 0:08:35Oh!
0:08:35 > 0:08:36I'll take those.
0:08:38 > 0:08:42When you're as experienced as me, you'll know if you're being suckered.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44I'm onto you!
0:08:49 > 0:08:52We got rumbled. So now what are we going to do?
0:08:52 > 0:08:55Revert to plan B.
0:08:55 > 0:08:56Yeah.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59- What's plan B?- The Beaker method.
0:08:59 > 0:09:03Shout as loud as you can for as long as you can. Chocolates!
0:09:03 > 0:09:05I want chocolate!
0:09:05 > 0:09:07ALL: We want chocolate!
0:09:07 > 0:09:11We want chocolate! We want chocolate!
0:09:11 > 0:09:12We want chocolate!
0:09:12 > 0:09:16We want chocolate! We want chocolate!
0:09:16 > 0:09:21Being successful's all about getting on well with people, like I do.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24I've got years of experience.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26I help the kids with their homework,
0:09:26 > 0:09:30my marmalade and peanut butter sandwiches are the stuff of legend
0:09:30 > 0:09:33and I can cut through tension. The kids love me.
0:09:33 > 0:09:38Right, let's see if we can put what you've learnt into practice.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40Come on.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42We want chocolate!
0:09:42 > 0:09:45- We want chocolate!- Ssh!
0:09:45 > 0:09:48- Calm down now. - We want chocolate!
0:09:48 > 0:09:50Um, chill!
0:09:50 > 0:09:52Hang loose!
0:09:52 > 0:09:54Um...
0:09:54 > 0:09:57SHUT UP! Everyone in the lounge. I've got a plan.
0:09:58 > 0:10:02Quickly. Right, everyone take a seat.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04- Now, come on!- What is going on?
0:10:04 > 0:10:07ALL TALK AT ONCE
0:10:07 > 0:10:09Don't ask questions, sit down.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14What are they doing here?
0:10:14 > 0:10:18- Tracy Beaker Guide To Fostering - please!- I'll have that, thank you.
0:10:18 > 0:10:22I don't want to waste it on people no-one will ever want to foster.
0:10:22 > 0:10:28The Tracy Beaker Guide To Fostering is all about working with what you've got.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31Hayley, you're small and cute. Work with that.
0:10:31 > 0:10:35Maybe later. Mark and Helen are coming to pick me up soon.
0:10:35 > 0:10:41- But thanks anyway.- Rio's a boy, but that's not always a disadvantage.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43Take a question and pass them along.
0:10:48 > 0:10:52Being successful is about getting on well with people.
0:10:52 > 0:10:58Like I do. I've got 13 years of experience.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00Use me.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04- Oh!- What?
0:11:04 > 0:11:09With my expert help, you could all be just like me.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14Fostered in no time.
0:11:16 > 0:11:21Crash, Jackie, as you know, I'm a success story.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23But you can be too.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26Got any problems? Let's talk.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28Let's talk. What's the matter with you?
0:11:28 > 0:11:32We thought you'd a plan to get Kez and Elaine, but you're like them.
0:11:34 > 0:11:38Me?! Tracy Beaker, like Elaine?
0:11:38 > 0:11:42I couldn't be more proud of you if I tried.
0:11:57 > 0:12:01Thanks, Tracy, for such an insightful talk.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04Let's end the session with a hug.
0:12:06 > 0:12:10- Tracy.- Whoa! You can look at the Beaker, but not touch.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12But Elaine told me
0:12:12 > 0:12:16it's an effective way of bonding after sharing personal details.
0:12:17 > 0:12:21If there's one thing Elaine taught me, it's to avoid her at all costs.
0:12:21 > 0:12:25I mean, she's badly dressed, clueless and boring.
0:12:25 > 0:12:29And if there's anything worse than Elaine, it's two Elaines.
0:12:42 > 0:12:46But I was just trying to be as good as Elaine. Wasn't I, Hayley?
0:12:46 > 0:12:49Um, I'm not Hayley. I'm Bouncer.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52I'm sorry, Kez, I'm sure you're really nice,
0:12:52 > 0:12:56- but one Elaine is enough for anyone.- Yeah.- You're so right.
0:12:56 > 0:13:00There's only one Elaine and I can't expect to be as good as her.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03But she's given me something to aspire to.
0:13:03 > 0:13:07I'll go back to the library and study really hard
0:13:07 > 0:13:10and maybe one day, I'll...
0:13:10 > 0:13:14Maybe one day, I might be half as good as Elaine.
0:13:14 > 0:13:19Er, respect! Everyone in the house, say...what is it?
0:13:19 > 0:13:22Everyone in the house...
0:13:23 > 0:13:25Everyone in the house, say...
0:13:25 > 0:13:27See ya!
