0:00:02 > 0:00:04- It's the royal crest. - What do you think's inside?

0:00:04 > 0:00:06I haven't got X-ray vision. Open it!

0:00:12 > 0:00:14- I've been offered an MBE.- An MBE?!

0:00:14 > 0:00:16I knew it as soon as I saw the envelope!

0:00:16 > 0:00:20That means you go to Buckingham Palace and meet the Queen.

0:00:20 > 0:00:21Mike's meeting the Queen?

0:00:21 > 0:00:26- Jody, don't tell anyone.- Mike's going to meet the Queen!- Jody!

0:00:45 > 0:00:47ALL TALK AT ONCE

0:00:47 > 0:00:49Who nominated you because somebody must have?

0:00:49 > 0:00:52Enough! Just one at a time, please.

0:00:52 > 0:00:55- Will we have to call you Sir Mike? - No, that's for knights, not MBEs.

0:00:55 > 0:00:56What is an MBE?

0:00:56 > 0:01:00MBE stands for Member of the order of the British Empire.

0:01:00 > 0:01:04It is very rare and is presented by the Queen to people who have

0:01:04 > 0:01:06done very, very good things.

0:01:06 > 0:01:09- So what's Mike done?- Well, he looks after you for a start.

0:01:09 > 0:01:10- When do you go? - In the next few weeks.

0:01:10 > 0:01:15- Can you take anyone with you? - ALL SHOUT AT ONCE

0:01:15 > 0:01:16Guys, listen.

0:01:16 > 0:01:17QUIET!

0:01:19 > 0:01:22Look, I'm sure that Mike has got friends and family

0:01:22 > 0:01:24that might want to go, too.

0:01:24 > 0:01:25KIDS GROAN

0:01:25 > 0:01:28This is so unfair. Surely we should all be invited.

0:01:28 > 0:01:31Yeah, I mean, meeting the Queen is something you'd never forget.

0:01:31 > 0:01:33You'd always be a somebody.

0:01:33 > 0:01:38- You lot are pathetic!- Why?- The Queen doesn't care about Mike or us.

0:01:38 > 0:01:40What's your problem?

0:01:40 > 0:01:42- He's probably a Republican. - What's that?

0:01:42 > 0:01:45Someone who doesn't believe in having a Royal family.

0:01:45 > 0:01:48I believe in them. I just think they're really elegant.

0:01:48 > 0:01:50No, you're missing the point.

0:01:50 > 0:01:53We're all owned by the State and we have no say in what's done to us.

0:01:53 > 0:01:56The Queen - she's the head of State, so when Mike goes,

0:01:56 > 0:01:59he can say what's wrong with the system and what needs to be done.

0:01:59 > 0:02:01Atually, Mike's not allowed to tell the Queen anything

0:02:01 > 0:02:03unless she asks him a question.

0:02:03 > 0:02:08Cos like I said, the Queen doesn't want to know about us.

0:02:08 > 0:02:11Services to children and young people in care.

0:02:13 > 0:02:17- I didn't think anyone even knew we existed.- Maybe it was a mistake.

0:02:17 > 0:02:21- Yeah, it's probably a mistake. - Mm, definitely a mistake.

0:02:21 > 0:02:24So, Michael Milligan, careworker extraordinaire,

0:02:24 > 0:02:26he who hob-nobs with royalty, who are you going to take with you?

0:02:27 > 0:02:31Some random relatives or your biggest ever success story?

0:02:31 > 0:02:34Naughtiest kid in care, allegedly,

0:02:34 > 0:02:37who turns out to be a pretty terrific careworker herself.

0:02:37 > 0:02:41Or your ever-loyal longest-serving co-worker.

0:02:41 > 0:02:45Thinking about what you were saying, Tracy, this MBE is supposed to be for

0:02:45 > 0:02:49work I do with young people. Shouldn't it be them that come?

0:02:49 > 0:02:51Of course you should take them.

0:02:51 > 0:02:54Just one slightly huge problem - you only get three guests.

0:02:54 > 0:02:57So who are you going to take?

0:02:58 > 0:03:04Tig! Tig! Mike's allowed to take three people to the Palace. We have to make sure he picks us.

0:03:20 > 0:03:21You did say three of us.

0:03:24 > 0:03:26Look, we're not cleaning or anything

0:03:26 > 0:03:28just so Mike can take us to the palace.

0:03:41 > 0:03:43They heard us.

0:03:43 > 0:03:44House meeting!

0:03:47 > 0:03:49So I can take three of you with me

0:03:49 > 0:03:52but I can't choose based on how much cleaning is done.

0:03:52 > 0:03:54We need to find a different way, a fairer way.

0:03:54 > 0:03:57- How about you pick three names out of a hat?- Excuse me.

0:03:57 > 0:04:00How is that fair? Some of us have been here longer than others.

0:04:00 > 0:04:04Some of us left but then came back to squat in someone else's room.

0:04:04 > 0:04:08- Sorry, did you just say squat? - Until they find somewhere else.

0:04:08 > 0:04:12I don't want it to cause arguments. If it does, I'll bring my relatives.

0:04:12 > 0:04:16You all need to decide how you want to play this and let me know.

0:04:20 > 0:04:23Right, is there anyone who doesn't want to go?

0:04:23 > 0:04:27Mike's trip is on a Wednesday and I have piano practice on Wednesday.

0:04:27 > 0:04:29Are you sure?

0:04:29 > 0:04:31OK. Rick?

0:04:31 > 0:04:34He doesn't like the Queen.

0:04:34 > 0:04:36- He's scared she'll chop his head off.- Don't be daft, Tyler.

0:04:36 > 0:04:41- She can't do that.- She can do what she wants. She runs the country.

0:04:41 > 0:04:43No, she doesn't. The Government does.

0:04:43 > 0:04:48- The ones we vote for after we're 18. - It's called democracy.

0:04:48 > 0:04:53MPs can do that if the Queen lets them. They swear allegiance to her.

0:04:53 > 0:04:56And if they don't, off with their heads!

0:04:56 > 0:04:59- LAUGHTER - That's it!- What, execution?!

0:04:59 > 0:05:04Democracy. We'll have an election and each of you gets a secret vote

0:05:04 > 0:05:07and the three with the most votes get to go with Mike.

0:05:07 > 0:05:09I know who I'm voting for.

0:05:09 > 0:05:13You can't vote for yourself, or everyone would have one vote each.

0:05:13 > 0:05:16Each of you has to vote for someone else, someone who deserves to go.

0:05:16 > 0:05:19Don't bother begging me for my vote. You're not getting it.

0:05:19 > 0:05:23- Well, that's your democratic choice. - Good.

0:05:23 > 0:05:25OK. Well, we'll take the vote at five.

0:05:25 > 0:05:27You have until then to persuade the others why you deserve

0:05:27 > 0:05:30to go to the Palace.

0:05:31 > 0:05:35- Who are you?- Nobody. I'm just a nobody.

0:05:41 > 0:05:44I have just spoken to the council. Your flat's not a priority.

0:05:48 > 0:05:52If you're so embarrassed by me, just tell everyone that I'm dead!

0:05:55 > 0:05:57ALL TALK OVER EACH OTHER

0:06:02 > 0:06:05- All sorted.- Who's going? - We'll find out at five.

0:06:05 > 0:06:08- And what are they doing until then?- Holding an election.

0:06:08 > 0:06:11Three people with the most votes go with Mike.

0:06:11 > 0:06:13It's educational and practical. Genius!

0:06:13 > 0:06:18- That sounds like a Tracy plan to me. - You'll miss them when I'm gone.

0:06:19 > 0:06:23The point is, you need someone who will speak up for your rights,

0:06:23 > 0:06:28who will tell these people what it's really like to be in care.

0:06:28 > 0:06:32I'm that person. If you've got a problem, I will voice it for you.

0:06:32 > 0:06:35I will speak on your behalf and get things done.

0:06:35 > 0:06:39- Nice one.- So you'll vote for me, right, Frank?- Yeah.

0:06:39 > 0:06:41Blah blah blah, blah blah.

0:06:44 > 0:06:49- Anyone else?- Well, I'll vote for you if you vote for me.

0:06:51 > 0:06:54- You have to vote for me. - I've got to vote for Johnny.

0:06:54 > 0:06:58Look, Mike needs us. We're elegant. We can fit in.

0:06:59 > 0:07:03- When will you get another chance to mix with royalty?- Never.

0:07:03 > 0:07:06- So don't let Johnny stop you. - I won't go behind his back.

0:07:06 > 0:07:08If you're not going to vote for me,

0:07:08 > 0:07:12then I'm going to swap mine with someone who will.

0:07:12 > 0:07:15Just wondering if you're still going to vote for me.

0:07:15 > 0:07:17Of course. We had an agreement. Why?

0:07:17 > 0:07:20Just checking. I'll be voting for you, too.

0:07:20 > 0:07:24- I don't want you to.- What? - It's a waste.

0:07:24 > 0:07:26You've got more chance of going than I have.

0:07:26 > 0:07:29What would you rather show your kids? A picture of you at the Palace

0:07:29 > 0:07:32or nothing? Take my vote and swap yours with Carmen.

0:07:32 > 0:07:35- Don't you want to go, too?- I'd rather you went down neither of us.

0:07:35 > 0:07:39This way, you already have two votes and I'll make sure you get more.

0:07:41 > 0:07:44- Wow. You've really thought about this.- It's important.

0:07:44 > 0:07:47You have to take every opportunity to fight for your rights.

0:07:47 > 0:07:50She just wants her old flat back.

0:07:50 > 0:07:54- Well, at least she's got a campaign. What's yours?- Don't need one.

0:07:54 > 0:07:57Well, you probably won't get any votes, then.

0:07:57 > 0:07:59Maybe I will, maybe I won't.

0:07:59 > 0:08:00Why do you want to go anyway?

0:08:00 > 0:08:04I just can't picture you sipping tea politely at the Palace.

0:08:04 > 0:08:06Well, you've met my mum.

0:08:06 > 0:08:09Imagine her seeing a picture of me at Buckingham Palace,

0:08:09 > 0:08:12hanging out with the Queen. She'd be seething for years.

0:08:12 > 0:08:16- This is just make your mum jealous? - It's as good a reason as any.

0:08:16 > 0:08:19I'm going to be the first person ever to make the Queen laugh.

0:08:19 > 0:08:24- No-one can.- Will you vote for me? - If I laugh.

0:08:25 > 0:08:27OK.

0:08:27 > 0:08:30Well, there were two sizzling sausages in a pan and one

0:08:30 > 0:08:33of them said to the other one, "Is it me or is it hot in here?"

0:08:35 > 0:08:37And the other one turned and said,

0:08:37 > 0:08:40"Argh! A talking sausage!" Ba-doom-tish!

0:08:40 > 0:08:43Tough crowd, eh?

0:08:47 > 0:08:48What's up?

0:08:51 > 0:08:57Well, no-one'll vote for me.

0:08:57 > 0:09:01- That's not going to get any votes. - It'll get more votes than your jokes.

0:09:01 > 0:09:06- Want to bet?- How much?- A quid. - Done. Wahey!- Ha-ha, funny(!)

0:09:14 > 0:09:18I don't know what you're so smug about. That won't get you any votes.

0:09:18 > 0:09:23- Well, I have already got two votes, so...- So you think.

0:09:23 > 0:09:25What are you saying?

0:09:25 > 0:09:28Carmen's not voting for you, I wouldn't be sure about Frank,

0:09:28 > 0:09:29and everyone will lie to get votes.

0:09:29 > 0:09:33What I'm saying is play the brats at their own game.

0:09:33 > 0:09:36You vote for me and I will vote for you.

0:09:37 > 0:09:40Plus, I get an extra metre in the bedroom.

0:09:40 > 0:09:43- Excuse me, how come you get the better deal?- It was my idea.

0:09:43 > 0:09:47Well, tough. You can get the extra metre if I get more wardrobe space.

0:09:47 > 0:09:49You don't hang up any of your own clothes anyway.

0:09:49 > 0:09:51Fine.

0:09:53 > 0:09:55He's my campaign manager instead.

0:09:55 > 0:09:57Well, that's very unselfish of you, Johnny.

0:09:57 > 0:09:59Have you finished now?

0:09:59 > 0:10:01Because you should let the others have a turn, yeah.

0:10:01 > 0:10:04- OK. Thank you.- OK, babes.

0:10:04 > 0:10:08We should do democracy more often. Empowerment and responsibility.

0:10:08 > 0:10:10Might write it up for my NVQ assessment.

0:10:10 > 0:10:15Oh, right. So they do qualifications in Tracy plans, do they? Huh!

0:10:17 > 0:10:20- Carmen, I can't believe my eyes! I said...- Look, if you vote for me,

0:10:20 > 0:10:22then I'll vote for you.

0:10:23 > 0:10:26Hey, Gus, vote for Tee, the girl who got your holiday back.

0:10:26 > 0:10:28But Tee lost it in the first place.

0:10:28 > 0:10:34- Yeah, but thanks to her we then got a better one.- True.

0:10:34 > 0:10:37- So are you going to vote for me? - It's a secret ballot.

0:10:37 > 0:10:41I've made a list of things you have to learn before the big day.

0:10:41 > 0:10:44OK.

0:10:44 > 0:10:46You're a care kid now. You need to think about your future.

0:10:46 > 0:10:49Well, I don't know what it says.

0:10:49 > 0:10:52Oh. Well, it says, "No-one else in this place will

0:10:52 > 0:10:56fight for your right for a better life and I will."

0:10:56 > 0:10:58Vote for Tee, the girl who got your holiday back.

0:10:58 > 0:11:02- I didn't go. Can we get some chocolate biscuits?- Sorry?

0:11:02 > 0:11:04There's only ever plain, never chocolate.

0:11:04 > 0:11:06We'll get you chocolate biscuits.

0:11:06 > 0:11:10If you vote for me, I'll make sure they only buy double chocolate chip.

0:11:10 > 0:11:14- Cool!- So you'll vote for me, OK?- Yeah.

0:11:14 > 0:11:15Excuse me.

0:11:15 > 0:11:18Oh, very good, Harry. Is that Mike?

0:11:18 > 0:11:21And you're going to vote for me to go with him, aren't you?

0:11:21 > 0:11:22What is a vote?

0:11:24 > 0:11:27A vote is when you say who you think should run things.

0:11:27 > 0:11:30It's like your chance to decide stuff.

0:11:30 > 0:11:34So you have a vote on who you think should go to the Palace with Mike.

0:11:34 > 0:11:38Will you and Jeff vote for me?

0:11:38 > 0:11:39Good boy.

0:11:41 > 0:11:48And... that says Matthew will meet the Queen and I'm the only one left.

0:11:52 > 0:11:54You're not fooling anyone, Frank.

0:11:56 > 0:11:57TYLER HOOTER

0:11:57 > 0:12:00Vote Tyler! Make the Queen laugh!

0:12:00 > 0:12:06- What's black, white and red all over?- A Newcastle fan with a tan.

0:12:06 > 0:12:10- Stick to your sob story. - Time to change yours.

0:12:10 > 0:12:11TYLER HOOTER

0:12:14 > 0:12:18- What's wrong?- Well, my grandad had a dream that one day...

0:12:18 > 0:12:22- Look, if you vote for me, then I'll vote for you.- OK, yeah.

0:12:24 > 0:12:27Tee got us the best holiday ever. She deserves this trip.

0:12:27 > 0:12:28Don't bully him, Johnny.

0:12:31 > 0:12:32Jody, come here a minute.

0:12:36 > 0:12:40- I made friends with you and I got you your own room.- No, you didn't.

0:12:40 > 0:12:43Yes, I did. Mike just didn't tell Sapphire and Elektra that.

0:12:43 > 0:12:47- Look, this is why you have to vote for me.- Will you vote for me?

0:12:47 > 0:12:49Of course I will.

0:12:49 > 0:12:53- OK.- What are you doing? I thought you were supposed to vote for me.- I am.

0:12:53 > 0:12:57But one vote for you isn't going to be enough for me, as it?

0:12:57 > 0:13:00- So you're just lying to everyone? - Well, not to you.

0:13:01 > 0:13:07- How much?- How much what?- To vote for Tee, how much will it cost?

0:13:07 > 0:13:11- So, still planning on wasting your vote?- You heard what I said.

0:13:11 > 0:13:15Well, if you don't like the Queen so much, isn't it worth

0:13:15 > 0:13:19voting for someone who would cause a little bit of trouble at the Palace?

0:13:29 > 0:13:33Think how many chocolate biscuits you get with this.

0:13:33 > 0:13:35Uh-uh!

0:13:35 > 0:13:38- First you have to vote for Tee.- No!

0:13:40 > 0:13:44Imagine all the tasty biscuits, covered in thick, gooey chocolate.

0:13:44 > 0:13:46All right.

0:13:46 > 0:13:52And, you don't tell anyone I gave you this money, especially not Tee.

0:13:52 > 0:13:54- Say you promise.- I promise.

0:13:59 > 0:14:02- Oh, and you can do my chores next week.- What?!

0:14:02 > 0:14:05Say promise or I'll tell Tee.

0:14:05 > 0:14:08Promise.

0:14:15 > 0:14:19- Harry.- I'm voting for Sapphire. - I knew that.

0:14:21 > 0:14:26- My grandfather had a dream that one day...- Stop it, Frank.

0:14:26 > 0:14:30- Have some pride. - I can't. There's a pound at stake.

0:14:30 > 0:14:35- You're doing this for a pound? - It's a bet with Tyler.

0:14:35 > 0:14:41- So you don't actually want to go? - Yeah.- Why?- Something to do.

0:14:44 > 0:14:48- Who are you voting for?- Sapphire. - And she's voting for you?

0:14:48 > 0:14:52No, but she has the best reasons.

0:14:52 > 0:14:54No, she doesn't. She just wants a new flat.

0:14:54 > 0:14:59She thinks she can nag someone there to kick up a fuss on her behalf.

0:14:59 > 0:15:02Vote for me and I will vote for you.

0:15:06 > 0:15:09- Harry, are you voting for Sapphire? - Yeah.

0:15:09 > 0:15:14You know that if she goes to London with Mike, she won't be coming back.

0:15:14 > 0:15:16Mm, it's her big secret.

0:15:17 > 0:15:21She's planning on running away and I don't want her to go. Do you?

0:15:29 > 0:15:32Mike, you have to wear a morning suit. And shiny black shoes,

0:15:32 > 0:15:34not your smelly old trainers.

0:15:34 > 0:15:39- Yes, Gus, that much I did know.- Mike, we need to talk about etiquette.

0:15:39 > 0:15:42Yes, we do, Gus, but not now. Hey, Harry.

0:15:42 > 0:15:46- What's this?- My present to you. It's not finished.- Thank you, Harry.

0:15:46 > 0:15:51- That's fantastic. Is this me getting an MBE?- Yeah.- That is brilliant.

0:15:51 > 0:15:53Look. There's me and there's the Queen.

0:15:53 > 0:15:56- I can see three inaccuracies.- Gus. - You have grey hair, not green,

0:15:56 > 0:15:58you're kneeling, not standing,

0:15:58 > 0:16:01the Queen's knighting you with her sword.

0:16:01 > 0:16:03- Did I do it wrong?- Yes.

0:16:03 > 0:16:05No. It's perfect, Harry.

0:16:09 > 0:16:10Time to vote!

0:16:16 > 0:16:18- Changed your mind, then? - Not about the Queen.

0:16:18 > 0:16:22Nice to see you exercising your democratic right to vote.

0:16:22 > 0:16:25Are you sure about this, Harry?

0:16:25 > 0:16:27Thank you, Carmen.

0:16:27 > 0:16:30Where's Jody? She hasn't done her vote yet.

0:16:30 > 0:16:33Well, if she's not here on time, she misses out.

0:16:33 > 0:16:35It is time for me to vote for Tee now, Johnny?

0:16:43 > 0:16:46OK. Here are the results of the votes, in reverse order.

0:16:46 > 0:16:53Those with no votes are Gus, Harry, Johnny, Rick, Jody, Tyler...

0:16:53 > 0:16:54You're joking me?

0:16:56 > 0:16:58- Pound, please.- Frank!

0:16:58 > 0:16:59Pa!

0:16:59 > 0:17:00..and Sapph.

0:17:00 > 0:17:05- What? No way! There's been a mistake.- Sorry, that's the results.

0:17:05 > 0:17:09- You've forgotten Harry. He must not have voted.- No, Harry did vote.

0:17:11 > 0:17:14Right, I've had it with this place. I've had it with all of you.

0:17:14 > 0:17:18- I'd rather sleep on the streets. - Ooh!

0:17:18 > 0:17:21- Does that mean I get my room back? - Sapph!- Sapphire!

0:17:21 > 0:17:24- Can we carry on and see who's got votes?- Sure.

0:17:25 > 0:17:29Mike got one vote from Gus, just to be sure.

0:17:29 > 0:17:30- LAUGHTER - Secret ballot.

0:17:30 > 0:17:34Sorry. Carmen, one vote.

0:17:34 > 0:17:36Erm, one?!

0:17:36 > 0:17:40- Elektra, four votes and Tee, five votes.- Yes!

0:17:40 > 0:17:43So that's Elektra, Tee and Carmen going to the Palace with Mike.

0:17:43 > 0:17:46- Yeah!- Yes, we won!- Get in!

0:17:52 > 0:17:55- So you bribed Judy and Tyler to vote for me?- Tenner each.

0:17:55 > 0:17:57It had to be done, Tee.

0:17:57 > 0:18:00Without them, the vote could have been split four or five ways.

0:18:00 > 0:18:02- And the fifth vote? - I don't know who that was.

0:18:02 > 0:18:04It still doesn't make it right.

0:18:04 > 0:18:08Look, it's my savings, not yours. You should be grateful.

0:18:08 > 0:18:12- Don't you want to be somebody for once in your life?- Not like this.

0:18:12 > 0:18:16- My room is a mess. - So tidy it.- We had a deal.

0:18:16 > 0:18:21Yeah? Well, tough. The vote's over and Tee won.

0:18:21 > 0:18:24How many people did you say you'd vote for?

0:18:24 > 0:18:27Erm, only Sapph, Frank, Tyler, Johnny and you.

0:18:27 > 0:18:29But in an election you can't say

0:18:29 > 0:18:31you'll do something to get votes and then not do it.

0:18:31 > 0:18:34Of course you can, it happens all the time.

0:18:34 > 0:18:36But Johnny bribed people and you lied to everyone.

0:18:36 > 0:18:39- I voted for you. - That doesn't make it right.

0:18:39 > 0:18:41So, I'm sick of this trip.

0:18:41 > 0:18:42KNOCK ON DOOR

0:18:42 > 0:18:44No!

0:18:44 > 0:18:47What's going on? Why did you vote for Elektra?

0:18:52 > 0:18:53Her Majesty's Prisons.

0:18:56 > 0:18:59So what's letters from your mum and dad got to do with Elektra?

0:18:59 > 0:19:03It's the Queen, not Elektra. They're in her prisons.

0:19:03 > 0:19:06Sentenced by a Crown Court. Her crest was behind the judge's chair.

0:19:06 > 0:19:10They got sent down in the Queen's name and now I'm stuck in care.

0:19:10 > 0:19:13She told you I was running away?

0:19:13 > 0:19:17And that's why you voted for her, to stop me going?

0:19:17 > 0:19:22- Harry, what she told you was a lie. I wasn't running away.- Sorry.

0:19:22 > 0:19:25- It wasn't your fault. - Can I get my vote back?

0:19:27 > 0:19:32- Don't worry about it, sweetheart. I'll get it back for you.- Sapphire?

0:19:32 > 0:19:35Frame Mike's picture for me?

0:19:35 > 0:19:36Of course I will.

0:19:36 > 0:19:38It's just an emblem.

0:19:38 > 0:19:41- The Queen and the law are two separate things.- Not to me.

0:19:41 > 0:19:45So because your mum and dad broke the law and went to prison,

0:19:45 > 0:19:48you want Elektra to ruin Mike's day?

0:19:48 > 0:19:50Not Mike's. The Queen's.

0:19:51 > 0:19:54Rick, it's Mike being honoured, not the Queen,

0:19:54 > 0:19:57because he spent years looking after kids like you and me.

0:19:57 > 0:20:01If Elektra causes trouble, it won't ruin the Queen's day,

0:20:01 > 0:20:03it'll ruin Mike's and everything he's worked for.

0:20:03 > 0:20:08And for what? So you can feel better about your mum and dad's crimes?

0:20:09 > 0:20:12Don't you dare! Don't you dare ruin Mike's big day!

0:20:12 > 0:20:14- Been talking to Rick, then? - I mean it.

0:20:14 > 0:20:19Nobody went after his vote, so I just told him what he wanted to hear.

0:20:19 > 0:20:22- I declare this election null and void.- Here we go.

0:20:23 > 0:20:25- On what grounds?- She's a sore loser.

0:20:25 > 0:20:30- On the grounds that she is a lying, cheating snake.- And you're not?

0:20:30 > 0:20:33She told Harry I'd run away if I went to London.

0:20:33 > 0:20:35- That's why he didn't vote for me. - You said that?

0:20:35 > 0:20:38Well, Sapph didn't vote for him.

0:20:38 > 0:20:40No, she was too busy thinking about herself.

0:20:40 > 0:20:43Hey! I kept my word. I voted for you.

0:20:43 > 0:20:46Then you're not cut out for politics.

0:20:49 > 0:20:52- What are you doing? - I'm getting my wardrobe space.

0:20:52 > 0:20:55- Sapph, stop it! Elektra, just calm down!- Not that one!

0:20:56 > 0:20:58Harry did that for Mike.

0:21:02 > 0:21:06- Tyler, give him his money back. - No.- Keep it, Tyler.

0:21:06 > 0:21:07- The election's over.- Elektra!

0:21:07 > 0:21:10Fight, fight, fight, fight!

0:21:10 > 0:21:15- Get off me!- Stop it!- Fight, fight, fight!- Oi, what's going on?

0:21:17 > 0:21:21- Put down the cushion.- She started it. - Do it.

0:21:21 > 0:21:25- Mike, I won my vote fair and square. - Carmen, you lied to everyone.

0:21:26 > 0:21:30- You liar!- Oi! Shut up!

0:21:31 > 0:21:33Is that what this is about? My MBE?

0:21:33 > 0:21:36Is this how you choose amongst yourselves?

0:21:36 > 0:21:39- Johnny bribed Jodie and Tyler to vote for me.- Tyler...

0:21:39 > 0:21:40ALL SHOUT OVER EACH OTHER

0:21:40 > 0:21:42I demand a recount.

0:21:43 > 0:21:44That's it.

0:21:45 > 0:21:49We have been given an opportunity of a lifetime

0:21:49 > 0:21:52and this is how you choose to treat it, is it?

0:21:54 > 0:21:56There's going to be no trip to Buckingham Palace.

0:21:56 > 0:21:59I'm certainly not going. Neither are you lot.

0:22:05 > 0:22:06We ruined it for him.

0:22:09 > 0:22:10We've all ruined it for him.

0:22:12 > 0:22:16Well, it's not one of my worst plans. We do live in a democracy.

0:22:16 > 0:22:19I know, but you didn't set any ground rules, did you?

0:22:19 > 0:22:21Lying, bribing, cheating, fighting -

0:22:21 > 0:22:25hardly the bedrock of a just and honest society, is it?

0:22:25 > 0:22:27Well, you should still collect your MBE.

0:22:27 > 0:22:30How can I accept an award for work with young people when that happens

0:22:30 > 0:22:33under my supervision? I'd be a hypocrite.

0:22:33 > 0:22:36- But...- I've made my decision. Come on. Let's hang this up somewhere.

0:22:38 > 0:22:42I've seen that look before. He's not going to change his mind.

0:22:43 > 0:22:47- What's he been doing?- Oh, Gus got him to write an acceptance speech,

0:22:47 > 0:22:49just in case he got interviewed.

0:22:53 > 0:22:55"Today has been a great honour,

0:22:55 > 0:23:00"one I will remember and cherish for the rest of my life.

0:23:00 > 0:23:04"But a greater reward is seeing young people in my care content,

0:23:04 > 0:23:06"laughing and happy.

0:23:06 > 0:23:09"I'm never more proud than when I see them being kind, helpful

0:23:09 > 0:23:11"and loving to one another.

0:23:11 > 0:23:14"People often think that young people in care are bound to be

0:23:14 > 0:23:18"difficult and troublesome but that's not the case.

0:23:18 > 0:23:20"They're fantastic, compassionate youngsters

0:23:20 > 0:23:23"with a lot of obstacles to overcome, who know right from wrong,

0:23:23 > 0:23:25"can grow to become amazing adults,

0:23:25 > 0:23:27"if given the help and support they need."

0:23:30 > 0:23:33What Mike would have said if he collected his MBE.

0:23:33 > 0:23:36Just thought you should know how proud he is of you.

0:23:36 > 0:23:37Most of the time.

0:23:46 > 0:23:48So, how are we going to put this right?

0:23:52 > 0:23:54Gus, we need you to come downstairs.

0:23:54 > 0:23:57Apart from this sentence, I'm not talking to any of you any more.

0:24:00 > 0:24:02What's all this?

0:24:02 > 0:24:06"Dear Mr Carmichael, thank you for drawing our attention towards

0:24:06 > 0:24:10"Mr Milligan and suggesting him for an honour." You nominated him?

0:24:10 > 0:24:14No, I wrote the letter to the council asking them to nominate him.

0:24:14 > 0:24:18It took them months and months to listen to me and you all ruined it.

0:24:19 > 0:24:23All the more reason to come downstairs. Please, Gus.

0:24:23 > 0:24:24For Mike.

0:24:37 > 0:24:41Can you come into the living room for a minute, please?

0:24:41 > 0:24:46- What's happened now?- Nothing. We just want a word. - Come on, then.

0:24:50 > 0:24:57- Mike, we messed up, and we're really sorry.- Thank you, Sapphire.

0:24:57 > 0:25:00- Let's just forget the whole thing, shall we?- But we've all agreed.

0:25:00 > 0:25:04Without arguing or elections, who we think should go with you.

0:25:04 > 0:25:07People who deserve to go the most.

0:25:07 > 0:25:10- All right. I'm listening. - Well, first, Harry.

0:25:10 > 0:25:13He's worked really hard on that picture for you.

0:25:13 > 0:25:15None of us thought what he might want.

0:25:15 > 0:25:19So, Harry, you want to go to Buckingham Palace and see the Queen?

0:25:21 > 0:25:24- Second is Gus.- Me? But I said I couldn't go.

0:25:24 > 0:25:27Yeah, but you've been helping Mike all day.

0:25:27 > 0:25:30And he'll need your advice at the Palace. You have to go.

0:25:30 > 0:25:34It's only one day, Gus. Mike needs your help.

0:25:34 > 0:25:37All right, that's two of you. Who's the third one?

0:25:37 > 0:25:39Well, she's not exactly one of us.

0:25:40 > 0:25:42Me?

0:25:42 > 0:25:45You made us all realise how out of order we'd been.

0:25:45 > 0:25:48So, are you going to go to the Palace or not, Mike?

0:25:54 > 0:25:56ALL SHOUT AND CHEER

0:25:56 > 0:25:58Oh, stop, you'll make me blush!

0:25:58 > 0:26:01- Ha-ha! I didn't mean you, I meant these two.- Ha-ha!

0:26:03 > 0:26:05We've got a surprise for you, Harry.

0:26:09 > 0:26:11Here you go. Matching ties.

0:26:13 > 0:26:15- Where's Tracy?- Here!

0:26:15 > 0:26:16Da-da!

0:26:16 > 0:26:17ALL: Awww!

0:26:19 > 0:26:23- Wow! Princess, can I take you to the Palace?- Ooh, that'd be lovely.

0:26:23 > 0:26:25Thank you. Bye, guys!

0:26:25 > 0:26:27ALL: Bye!

0:26:41 > 0:26:44This would make such a cool brooch. Can I borrow it?

0:26:44 > 0:26:46No, you cannot. LAUGHTER

0:26:46 > 0:26:48It's on. This is it.

0:26:48 > 0:26:50Oh, do we have to watch it?

0:26:50 > 0:26:52'Finally this evening, to Buckingham Palace.'

0:26:52 > 0:26:55Oh, I like your suit, Mike. Mike, you dropped Jeff!

0:26:55 > 0:26:58Harry asked me to bring Jeff up to meet the Queen.

0:26:58 > 0:27:01I didn't know what to do when I dropped him.

0:27:01 > 0:27:04- Oh, no, Tracy!- Oh, no, no, no! I was just picking him up.

0:27:04 > 0:27:08You don't mind, do you? No, see, but the Queen's cool, man!

0:27:09 > 0:27:11GROANS

0:27:11 > 0:27:13Tracy!

0:27:13 > 0:27:14LAUGHTER
