0:00:10 > 0:00:13Oh, you not finished your column yet?
0:00:13 > 0:00:16Oh, Tracy!
0:00:16 > 0:00:19Look, the main thing is, not to be afraid of the deadline.
0:00:21 > 0:00:22Don't watch the clock.
0:00:24 > 0:00:28And out of nowhere, you'll get the light bulb moment.
0:00:53 > 0:00:58It's just a chance to meet up, have a chat, see how you get on. Tracy.
0:00:58 > 0:01:03Do you remember that social worker telling Toby about Mr and Mrs Scott?
0:01:03 > 0:01:07- Very nice couple?- Yeah.- They're coming to meet him tomorrow.
0:01:07 > 0:01:12I mean, we'll wait to meet them. But they might want to foster Toby!
0:01:12 > 0:01:14- Exciting, isn't it?- Fantastic news!
0:01:17 > 0:01:20You'd rather get fostered by crocodiles?
0:01:20 > 0:01:24- Gina says they're really nice. - Sure.- What's the problem?
0:01:24 > 0:01:27The problem is, it's bound to go horribly wrong.
0:01:27 > 0:01:31- Why?- Watch. From now on, everything I touch...
0:01:31 > 0:01:33No. Toby, think positive.
0:01:33 > 0:01:37- If you really want something to go right, it will.- Nah.- Seriously.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40- What do you want to happen? - Now? Breakfast.
0:01:40 > 0:01:45- Let's make you a perfect breakfast. - In this place?- Think positive.
0:01:45 > 0:01:46What's it going to be?
0:01:46 > 0:01:49Boiled egg. Proper, soft dippy egg.
0:01:51 > 0:01:52Four minutes 20!
0:01:54 > 0:01:56Jeff is gonna reek.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58Harry, don't get milk on Jeff.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02- Four minutes 27!- I'm on it!
0:02:03 > 0:02:06Go! Liam, toast!
0:02:44 > 0:02:45Perfect.
0:02:52 > 0:02:53I'll do you another.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55What's the point?
0:02:55 > 0:02:58I told you, from the day I was born, I'm jinxed.
0:03:12 > 0:03:13Sapphire, this came.
0:03:17 > 0:03:18Agh!
0:03:20 > 0:03:21Nice one.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24Dizzee? Are you joking me? Agh!
0:03:24 > 0:03:27My Dad's got me two tickets for tomorrow! How cool!
0:03:27 > 0:03:30Cos my dad's like, a roadie, so...
0:03:30 > 0:03:34We'll probably go backstage and meet Dizzee!
0:03:34 > 0:03:36It's gonna be so wicked!
0:03:36 > 0:03:38Two tickets, which are worth loads.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40You know I so have to go, yeah?
0:03:40 > 0:03:43- No.- Why? No way!
0:03:43 > 0:03:45- You know why!- You are joking me?
0:03:45 > 0:03:47Let's not go through it again.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50I hate you.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56- What's going on?- You lot stopping me going to the gig!
0:03:56 > 0:03:59- It's like being in prison!- Wait...
0:03:59 > 0:04:01I'm not stopping you going.
0:04:01 > 0:04:05- Why won't Gina let you go? - She doesn't want me seeing my dad.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07She must have a reason.
0:04:07 > 0:04:11I can't help you if you won't tell me what's going on.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13I am on your side, Sapphire.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21I'm not going to change my mind, Sapphire.
0:04:23 > 0:04:27- If I tell you, you'll just be on their side.- Try me.
0:04:27 > 0:04:33The last time I went out with my dad, I stayed out quite late,
0:04:33 > 0:04:35cos he was packing up the gear.
0:04:35 > 0:04:39- How late? - It wasn't that bad.- How late?
0:04:39 > 0:04:43Call the police late. That's why they won't me see him.
0:04:43 > 0:04:48Cos you stayed out too late with your dad? There must be more to it.
0:04:49 > 0:04:53The thing is, I kind of, accidentally, got on the tour bus,
0:04:53 > 0:04:57just to speak to my dad, but then I fell asleep.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59- Could happen to anyone.- Exactly.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02Which makes me think there's more to it.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08Well, if you don't trust me, then...
0:05:11 > 0:05:12All right.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14A customs man found me.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16What?
0:05:16 > 0:05:20He was checking for passports and he saw me under these coats.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22Passports?
0:05:22 > 0:05:24I didn't know we gone to Amsterdam.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26I'd slept on the ferry.
0:05:28 > 0:05:29The thing is, though...
0:05:31 > 0:05:34..I just wanted to be with my dad so much.
0:05:36 > 0:05:40But now...they won't let me see him.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45And it's so not fair.
0:05:47 > 0:05:48It's OK.
0:05:54 > 0:05:58Sapphire told me what happened. You've got to let her see him.
0:05:58 > 0:06:03These kids spend their lives away from the people they love most.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05Those people aren't always the best.
0:06:05 > 0:06:09That doesn't mean we're not allowed to see them!
0:06:09 > 0:06:11But her dad, to put it mildly,
0:06:11 > 0:06:15isn't fit to take care of her without supervision.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17Have you seen her file?
0:06:19 > 0:06:22Here, read that. In fact, read all of them.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31The fact is, we're the ones who care for Sapphire.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38Would you let her see her father on her own?
0:06:39 > 0:06:44- You can see their point, though. - Shall I rip these up, then?- No!
0:06:44 > 0:06:45Don't do that.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49Oh! You want them!
0:06:49 > 0:06:52- Yeah! It's so obvious!- Sapphire!
0:06:52 > 0:06:54I was trying to help you.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57- Anyway. You can't stop me.- What?
0:06:57 > 0:07:00I'm gonna go, no matter what they say.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03There's nothing you can do about it.
0:07:03 > 0:07:07Don't throw it back. You never said what your dad was like.
0:07:08 > 0:07:09Sapphire. Don't go.
0:07:09 > 0:07:13It's about building up trust with Mike and Gina. With me.
0:07:13 > 0:07:17All right, you don't have to go on. Look, I'm not going. Satisfied?
0:07:22 > 0:07:24Don't stress about it.
0:07:24 > 0:07:29- I'm not.- You gotta own the field, you know what I'm saying?
0:07:29 > 0:07:33Let them know you're someone spectacular, from the start.
0:07:33 > 0:07:34Want to practise?
0:07:34 > 0:07:39- And which of your FIVE foster parents did that work best on? - All right, then.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43Do you want to play football?
0:07:43 > 0:07:46You want to play football? Aw, thanks!
0:07:46 > 0:07:48No, honest. I don't want to play.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51- I'll just mess it up... - You'll be great.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53It's just kicking a ball around.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56You and me versus them.
0:07:56 > 0:07:591-1-1 formation. Go down the right flank, switch to the left,
0:07:59 > 0:08:02I'll cross it in, header top corner...got it?
0:08:02 > 0:08:04Oh, just forget it.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06I'll mess it up anyway.
0:08:06 > 0:08:10- The ball will burst, or you'll hurt yourself.- Don't be stupid.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13Liam can play, so how hard can it be?
0:08:13 > 0:08:17Tee! Go, Tee, go!
0:08:17 > 0:08:18Ow!
0:08:27 > 0:08:30LAUGHTER
0:08:30 > 0:08:32Unbelievable.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11Bad Luck Boy! Nice title...
0:09:15 > 0:09:16You've already sent this off?
0:09:16 > 0:09:18Yeah! Good, hey?
0:09:20 > 0:09:23- Toby's the lad at the Dumping Ground? - Yeah!
0:09:23 > 0:09:26You said to use the things around me for inspiration!
0:09:26 > 0:09:28Yes, but...
0:09:28 > 0:09:32"When Toby goes outside, birds stop singing and dogs begin to howl..."
0:09:32 > 0:09:37- I know! Funny!- Do you think he will find it funny?
0:09:37 > 0:09:41So negative! It's not as if he's even going to even read it!
0:09:41 > 0:09:42None of them do!
0:09:42 > 0:09:45And even if he does, he's going to know I'm joking.
0:09:49 > 0:09:54- Watch it, Bad Luck Boy, that could have been a black cat.- Shut up.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58How do, Voodoo?
0:10:00 > 0:10:02The curse of the Mummy...wooo!
0:10:02 > 0:10:03The curse of the no Mummy...
0:10:03 > 0:10:05Toby!
0:10:12 > 0:10:16Tracey, because you wrote Toby was Bad Luck Boy,
0:10:16 > 0:10:18I've found some things out...
0:10:18 > 0:10:21Black cats are unlucky, but also really lucky...
0:10:21 > 0:10:24- You read my column? - Everyone did.
0:10:24 > 0:10:28And that's why you took the Mick out of him. Great(!)
0:10:28 > 0:10:31- You wrote it.- I was being ironic.
0:10:35 > 0:10:36Funny.
0:10:36 > 0:10:40Except his mum and dad were killed in a car crash...
0:10:40 > 0:10:43- What?- Which isn't funny, actually.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46Didn't you even know that?
0:10:49 > 0:10:52We were just mucking around.
0:10:54 > 0:10:55We didn't mean it.
0:10:57 > 0:11:01It's just, like, we've all had bad luck.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03Especially all of us in here.
0:11:03 > 0:11:08So that's why people are going to try and rip it out of you.
0:11:12 > 0:11:18Thing is, by Tracy making him into Bad Luck Boy, she's made Toby famous.
0:11:18 > 0:11:22I wouldn't mind if Tracy wrote a book about me.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24What do you think?
0:11:26 > 0:11:28I think you put too much on.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31Anyway, what's the big deal about Toby's parents?
0:11:31 > 0:11:34My mum died and no-one made a big deal about that.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36You should tell Tracy. She'll make a book about that!
0:11:36 > 0:11:38I don't want her to.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41My mum died. She's not coming back.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43So here we are. End of story.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48You look like a clown.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51Go and wash it off.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55First rule of care work - know your kids!
0:12:00 > 0:12:02Poor lad.
0:12:02 > 0:12:06- You can see why he blames himself for the crash.- Yeah.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08Then there's this,
0:12:08 > 0:12:11the woman who fostered him.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14Talk about lightning striking twice!
0:12:14 > 0:12:17Unbelievable.
0:12:17 > 0:12:21Yep. A little bit of sensitivity is called for with our Toby.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24Especially with the Scotts visiting this afternoon.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27He's bound to be a little tense.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40KNOCK AT DOOR
0:12:41 > 0:12:44Tell Mike and Gina I'm not going to see those people.
0:12:44 > 0:12:45Why?
0:12:45 > 0:12:48Because what you wrote was right.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50No, it wasn't.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54I didn't know about your mum and dad.
0:12:54 > 0:12:55Really I didn't.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58I was trying to be ironic.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01- Irony means...- I know what it means.
0:13:01 > 0:13:07- You do?- It means saying one thing but meaning the other.- Yeah.
0:13:07 > 0:13:13So by calling me bad luck boy you meant I was good luck boy?
0:13:13 > 0:13:15No...
0:13:15 > 0:13:18I meant you could be good luck boy
0:13:18 > 0:13:20if you stopped believing you were bad luck boy.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25See, I think you're scared that
0:13:25 > 0:13:28if you like the Scotts, something bad's gonna happen.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31But you need to face those fears.
0:13:31 > 0:13:32SCREAMING
0:13:34 > 0:13:35SCREAMING
0:13:39 > 0:13:40SHE SCREAMS
0:13:40 > 0:13:42A giant spider!
0:13:44 > 0:13:47Well, flush it down the plug hole then!
0:13:47 > 0:13:49Killing a spider is bad luck.
0:13:53 > 0:13:57Don't be such a baby, it's just a tiny little... Oh!
0:14:06 > 0:14:08It's OK, OK. I will deal with it.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15- Just get rid of it. - It's so hairy. It's huge as well.
0:14:15 > 0:14:20He's probably just made a huge web just inside the plughole.
0:14:20 > 0:14:21SHE SCREAMS
0:14:21 > 0:14:23Don't get too close, it can move really fast.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48Tee, can you get the door? Thank you.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02- Were you scared? - No, of course she wasn't.
0:15:02 > 0:15:06I... No! No. And do you know why?
0:15:06 > 0:15:09Because when I touched it, I realised it was all in the mind.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11And it just tickled.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14After that, I wasn't scared any more.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22Toby, wait!
0:15:24 > 0:15:28Foster parents! Toby doesn't want them. Tee, this is our chance!
0:15:28 > 0:15:30The Scotts are here!
0:15:35 > 0:15:37- Did Toby come in here?- Yes.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40- Can I ask you something? - Where is he?
0:15:40 > 0:15:42Is Toby really Bad Luck Boy?
0:15:42 > 0:15:45No! Toby!
0:15:45 > 0:15:49Because in my book it says 13 is an unlucky number but it doesn't make sense.
0:15:49 > 0:15:56- Tracy, I think all numbers under 20 are unlucky somewhere.- Where's Toby?
0:15:56 > 0:15:59But how can that be when they're lucky somewhere else?
0:15:59 > 0:16:02Gus, there's no such thing as unlucky numbers or lucky ones.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05So why does everyone believe in them?
0:16:05 > 0:16:06Because the whole world is wrong.
0:16:08 > 0:16:09Toby?
0:16:12 > 0:16:14Toby?
0:16:14 > 0:16:17- Toby?- Go away.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19Toby, don't do this.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21They're a really nice couple.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23It's a really good opportunity.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25For something really bad to happen.
0:16:29 > 0:16:34No, Toby. What you need to know is, there's no such thing as jinxes
0:16:34 > 0:16:38- or curses or bad omens. - That's what you think.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41It's just something to blame when bad things happen.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43It's not real.
0:16:44 > 0:16:46Living with the Scotts.
0:16:46 > 0:16:47That could be real.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50So were my mum and dad.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02He's probably a bit nervous, too.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07Hi. I'm Johnny.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10- And I'm Tee.- Oh, right!
0:17:12 > 0:17:14No, that really is my name.
0:17:16 > 0:17:17Would you like one?
0:17:17 > 0:17:20- They're from a new tin, nearly! - Johnny...
0:17:24 > 0:17:26I made them late.
0:17:26 > 0:17:30I called them names. That's why they drove off in a temper.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32That's why they crashed.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35No, Toby. It wasn't your fault.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37It was!
0:17:37 > 0:17:39Toby, listen.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42Nothing will ever bring your mum and dad back.
0:17:42 > 0:17:46But if they could see you now they'd want you to be happy.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48To give the Scotts a chance.
0:17:50 > 0:17:55Toby, whatever happens in life, mostly it's up to us.
0:17:55 > 0:17:57Not chance or fate or whatever.
0:17:57 > 0:18:01Don't lose out on the good just because you're scared of the bad.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06Come on.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08I want to show you something.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14Walking under a ladder is supposed to be unlucky, yeah?
0:18:14 > 0:18:18We can walk under here a hundred times and nothing bad is going to...
0:18:28 > 0:18:29- MAN:- Pair of idiots.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36THEY GIGGLE
0:18:45 > 0:18:48- Was that bad luck? - No. That was stupidity.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51Are you ready to meet the Scotts?
0:18:51 > 0:18:52- Yeah.- Come on.
0:18:53 > 0:18:59I think our guests have had enough tea.
0:19:00 > 0:19:02Why don't you collect the teacups?
0:19:02 > 0:19:06Of course. We're very tidy. Especially me.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08Yes, all right, Johnny.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15He's not in his room.
0:19:15 > 0:19:16I'm sure he won't be long.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18In the meantime, this just came.
0:19:18 > 0:19:19I thought it might amuse you.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22One of our team writes a column.
0:19:22 > 0:19:26We were name-checked last week. Shall we see what she has to say?
0:19:28 > 0:19:31- This is Toby.- Hello!
0:19:31 > 0:19:33We just had an accident.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36- Oh! That was bad luck! - No, it wasn't.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38- It was stupidity.- No.
0:19:38 > 0:19:42- We were under a ladder...- Oh, well that was definitely bad luck then!
0:19:42 > 0:19:45I'll say! You don't want to go walking under ladders.
0:19:47 > 0:19:51- Um, it might be an idea to get cleaned up?- On our way.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53- Toby just wanted to say...- Hi,
0:19:53 > 0:19:57and see you in a minute.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08- Sure you're OK?- Yeah.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14- Go and get cleaned up. - All right.- Bye.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22Someone must be popular.
0:20:26 > 0:20:27Going somewhere?
0:20:27 > 0:20:30- Yeah! What's it got to do with you? - What do you think?
0:20:30 > 0:20:33- I'm the one who said let's build up some trust!- You can trust me!
0:20:33 > 0:20:35Sure(!) Last time it was Amsterdam.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38- What's next? Join the circus? - That was my Dad's fault.
0:20:38 > 0:20:41- Yeah, right(!) - Anyway, you shouldn't even be here!
0:20:41 > 0:20:44You're all supposed to be downstairs with those people come for Toby.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46Well I guess that just your bad luck!
0:20:46 > 0:20:50It was your choice, what you did. So don't try and blame your Dad.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52My Dad? I don't give a stuff about him!
0:20:52 > 0:20:53Probably won't even see him.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55- I'm going with Ferris! - Who?- My boyfriend!
0:20:55 > 0:20:59So what was all that "I never see my Dad" stuff about then?
0:20:59 > 0:21:01- I was trying to help you? - Don't pretend you care!
0:21:01 > 0:21:05- Get out of my way, you'll get paint on my clothes. - You are not going anywhere.
0:21:05 > 0:21:10Even if I have to lock you inside myself. Give me the tickets.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12- Give me the tickets!- Fine!
0:21:14 > 0:21:15Satisfied?
0:21:32 > 0:21:38- What now?- I need your help! - Toby?- Please!
0:21:55 > 0:21:58- Sure you want to do this?- I need to know what's going to happen
0:21:58 > 0:22:00in the future with these people.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03Just because some people believe these tell the future,
0:22:03 > 0:22:04doesn't mean it's true.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06But it might be.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15Cut the cards.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25Pick one. Anyone one you like.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40Let's see it then.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44Death.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55Toby, wait!
0:22:56 > 0:22:58Toby!
0:22:58 > 0:23:02No, listen to me. That card doesn't mean what you think.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05- What have you done now? - Look who's talking! Toby!
0:23:05 > 0:23:07They've found Toby.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09He was hiding in the garden.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16He thinks he's bad luck boy cos he's on his own.
0:23:16 > 0:23:21But so are you and I never see my mum, do I? We're all on our own.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23Well, I've got these two.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28And we've got you.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36Let Sapphire explain about the death card.
0:23:36 > 0:23:40No-one dies or anything. It's all about turning over a new leaf.
0:23:40 > 0:23:42- Leaving the old you behind. - Making a new start.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45What's wrong with the old me?
0:23:45 > 0:23:47Nothing.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51What is going on?
0:23:52 > 0:23:54Just a minute.
0:23:54 > 0:23:59If your mum and dad could talk to you now, what would they say?
0:23:59 > 0:24:03They'd say give life another chance. Do what you want to do.
0:24:23 > 0:24:26Ah, yes! I was just telling you about Tracy,
0:24:26 > 0:24:28our newest member.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30She has an article.
0:24:30 > 0:24:33Here he is!
0:24:33 > 0:24:36Oh! Don't you look different without all the paint!
0:24:36 > 0:24:39We thought you might like something new to listen to.
0:24:39 > 0:24:43We hope you like it cos we're not sure what stuff you like.
0:24:43 > 0:24:44Thanks.
0:24:44 > 0:24:48- The thing is...- But maybe one day we'll get to find out, hey?
0:24:49 > 0:24:52Thing is, I've been really nervous about meeting you.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56In case it all goes wrong.
0:24:56 > 0:25:00Then, Tracy said I should go for what I really want.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02And all of a sudden,
0:25:02 > 0:25:05I realised something massive.
0:25:11 > 0:25:13I don't want to get fostered.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25- Come on, Toby.- Not yet.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27I thought I sort of had to...
0:25:27 > 0:25:30But I don't, do I?
0:25:30 > 0:25:32That's what you meant?
0:25:32 > 0:25:35That's what YOU mean, it's what you want, Toby.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40It feels good here.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42I want to stay here with everyone.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44Yeah, I do.
0:25:46 > 0:25:48For definite.
0:25:48 > 0:25:52- Is that OK?- Yes, Toby.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02Come on.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04Things to be done.
0:26:06 > 0:26:08Are you OK, Tobes?
0:26:08 > 0:26:13Saph. Gina and I have had a word and we know you're anxious
0:26:13 > 0:26:16to go to this concert tonight, so what about you go with Tracy?
0:26:16 > 0:26:18That way, you're under supervision,
0:26:18 > 0:26:21and we'd be prepared to accept that.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27OK, yeah.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31My tickets! No!
0:26:34 > 0:26:36No, what?
0:26:39 > 0:26:43You'll also have to do the washing up...
0:26:43 > 0:26:45Oi-oi, oi-oi!
0:26:45 > 0:26:47- Aah!- Sorry.
0:26:47 > 0:26:50- How tall do you think I am?! - Can I join in?
0:26:51 > 0:26:54One touch. Go on, Toby!
0:27:00 > 0:27:02THEY CHEER
