Summer Holiday Tracy Beaker Returns

'Hi, Cam. Two more weeks of bliss to go.

'I've never seen the kids so relaxed and happy.

'No-one's arguing. No-one's falling out.

'It's just perfect in every way.'

-Tyler!

-Carmen!

'Even Gus seems happy with the new routine

'and I'm getting loads of writing done.

'You can think out here.

'It's all so...peaceful.'

Get out of here! >

SHEEP BAAS

Go on! Get! Go on!

Get out of here!

GLASS BREAKS AND SHEEP BREAK WIND

Please. Are you not being a bit hasty?

It's an innocent mistake.

We'll all be laughing about it tomorrow. Sheep in the house! Ha!

We'll clean up the mess and pay for any damages.

-Let's shake on it and get on with our holiday?

-GET...OFF...MY...LAND!

-Come on!

-Or I'll set the pigs on you!

Thrown out. Banned!

It's time whoever is responsible owned up.

Come on. Which idiot let the sheep out of the field and into the house?

Hmm?

They followed me. I didn't mean to leave the gate open.

I hope you understand

the consequences of your actions, young lady.

I really do.

Now, come on. Get in.

Put your seatbelts on, please.

I could've been with my dad and Shadow.

But you said you didn't want to go camping.

-Yes, because I wanted to be with all you guys.

-You're still with us.

Yeah, but we're not on holiday, are we?

This is just respite care and Dad's on his own.

KNOCK AT DOOR

Guys, please listen, you know I'm really sorry.

Yeah, me too.

I bought this camera to take photos of all of us.

Cos I know it'll never happen again.

My last chance to go on holiday with everyone and you've ruined it.

-I wish I could do something to make it better.

-Oh, you can.

-What?

Anything - just tell me.

You can go away.

I think she feels really bad about it.

Yeah, I hope so.

Me too.

Why's it keep going over to answerphone?

Maybe he doesn't have any signal.

Hi, Dad, hope you're having a good time.

Give me a call when you get this. Bye.

We're not on holiday any more so you don't need a kite

-and I do need my piano practice.

-Once we've done this.

But I need to now then I won't have missed piano practice.

Let me help. I'm good at untangling.

-We've got it.

-Yeah, but...

-I said we've got it!

Let me play my piano!

< Get off of it!

Do you want to help me cook?

Not really.

Hay fever?

Come on, why don't you give me a hand?

-Times like this it's better to be doing something.

-Is it?

Everyone's just down because it's late

and they're tired and hungry. It'll be different

when they're full of delicious home cooking.

-But no-one likes your cooking.

-True, which is why I need your help.

Go on, get chopping. There's some red peppers in the box.

How much do we need?

I doesn't matter. They're sweet so just bung them all in.

-Still going to voicemail!

-Maybe it's cos he's in Wales.

They do have phones in Wales, Carmen. Duh!

You said he's in the middle of nowhere.

-The Brecon Beacons, actually.

-Mmm. And where is that?

In the middle of nowhere.

Why do you need to speak to him so badly anyway?

Cos...I'm going to join him.

-I'm starving.

-Me too.

-Help yourself to bread if you like.

-Uh-uh-uh! Let's wait until, the cooks sit down, huh?

-Thank you.

I know you're all disappointed but, hey, here you all are

sitting around a nice, hot delicious meal. All good friends.

Not on holiday.

Yes, I know, but we're doing our best to find another one.

-Another holiday?

-Yes, that's right.

-Can it be on a desert island?

-All around a pool.

-Oh, with sun loungers and cocktails.

-A massive beach.

-And a lake full of fish.

-Sharks.

-Sharks don't live in lakes.

-Giraffes.

-Giraffes can't swim.

That goes without saying on a proper holiday.

-I'd prefer to stay here.

-Oh, I expect we will.

-Well, here's to the cooks. Tracy.

-Ah, this one's all down to Tee.

Thanks goodness.

-LAUGHTER

-Thank you, Tee. Chef of the day.

Oh, nice.

THEY COUGH AND CHOKE

How much chilli... did you put in this?!

-None.

-So what's this?

Sweet red pepper.

No, that's sweet pepper.

This...chilli pepper.

Hnnnggghh!

-Oh!

-Well done, Tee.

First you trash our holiday and now you're trying to poison us.

Leave me alone. You cooked that dinner too.

I know, I just... wanted you to get all the credit.

Where's breakfast?

This isn't a hotel. Breakfast is over. You should've got up in time.

We're still supposed to be on holiday. I'm in holiday mode.

Do you mean you don't have breakfast on holiday?

You're not supposed to have the same routine.

Get up late, chill out, eat different foods,

siestas, stay up late.

You have a complete change of routine?

That's how you know it's holiday.

-Tracy?

-Mmm-hmm.

Promise me, if Mike does get us a proper holiday,

that I won't have to get up late, sleep in the afternoon,

-miss my bedtime or eat different food.

-I promise.

Dude's got to lighten up.

-Hi, babes, sleep well?

-You found a holiday yet?

Well, there's this one, Manor Hall Farm, yeah?

They may have a cancellation

so Mike's on the phone to them just now.

There's 13 of us.

No, ten kids and three adults.

Several families, really.

Not exactly related, no. I'm calling from Elm Tree House.

It's a children's care home and...

You wouldn't take children in care? Why not? Hello?

Probably because you've never met any.

-It's not going to happen.

-Don't give up on us.

Bit of luck and some good timing, we'll get there.

-Shall I go check the other computer?

-That's a good idea, man.

And, hey, if you find anything,

there'll be an ice cream in it for you with a chilli on top.

THEY CHANT: Who let the sheep out? Who? Who? Who? Who?

Oh, not Tee, she poisoned them.

What you doing?

-Trying to find us a holiday.

-Don't get fleeced.

-Hey, Tee, seriously?

-Yeah.

-Why don't you just not bother?

The holiday's over.

Just leave it to Mike and Gina. You're only a little kid.

Baa!

Right, so, bus into town, coach to Bristol.

There's a railway line from Cardiff to Abergavenny.

-What?

-You can't go all that way on your own.

The police will find you. You know they will.

-They won't find out, though.

-They will, Lilly.

By then I'll be with my dad, so...

Oh, great, so you're off with your dad and I'm stuck here without you.

Come with me.

What?!

Lets go together. It'll be a massive adventure.

I don't know.

That's fine, you just stay here, get bored out of your mind.

-If you're too sacred to go, of course.

-No, it's just...

-OK, fine. Let's go for it.

-Yes!

B-O-R-E-D. Bored.

-What you doing?

-Because we want to use the computer.

Oh, trying to find you a holiday.

Don't worry cos we're not going to be here.

-< Hurry up, you're taking ages.

-Sorry.

Where are you going?

-< Oh, I know, I know. Look.

-My dad's campsite.

I thought it was in Wales.

It's nothing to do with and if you want to be our friend again,

you won't say anything to anyone.

What if I find you a brilliant holiday or Mike and Gina do?

-Like that's ever going to happen.

-Yeah, exactly.

You promise you won't snitch?

Promise?

Yeah, promise.

Hey, how are you today?

-Fine, we're just finding a holiday.

-Great.

-Glad to see you're all friends again.

-Listen up, everybody, please.

Hey, Rick, listen up.

We have searched and searched

and searched for somewhere else to take you.

It's a no-go, I'm afraid.

-Well, there must be something.

-We have tried everything, Tee.

It's a bit difficult because it's short notice.

-Everything's booked up.

-And because there's 13 people.

-But...we do have another idea.

-Yeah, a really great one.

What about a holiday here? Ha-ha!

With the same routine?

-Yeah.

-Oh, fantastic(!)

Well, look, we can do barbecues and day trips.

Great, so we send the rest of our holiday stuck here.

-You hear that, Tee?

-Yes, but we can play games and...

Johnny. Johnny!

Would you pick that up, please?

No way.

See ya!

-What happened to not giving up?

-I'm sorry, Tee, we tried our best.

I'm just going to...

Well, we think it's a brilliant idea.

Yeah, games and barbecues.

-Do you?

-Thank you, girls.

KNOCK ON DOOR

Tee, I know you feel bad but, listen.

Don't bother, Tracy. I ruined the holiday and everyone hates me for it.

-Even my own brother.

-He doesn't really.

-Yeah, he does.

-Carmen and Lilly don't.

-That's what you think.

Please just go. I don't want to talk about it any more.

-She's your sister.

-So?

-So forgive her.

Put yourself in her shoes. It was a mistake.

Sheep followed her - that's what they do.

-Do you want me to be a sheep?

-What?!

-Might be an improvement.

Do as I'm told? Not going to.

Why? You know how upset she is.

Yeah, now she knows what it feels like for a change.

See how likes being in my shoes for once. When nobody likes you.

-Well, if that's how you feel.

-I reckon it is.

-What's it going to take?

-A holiday.

One big pull.

-KITE RIPS

-Oh, Johnny!

-Oh, we're going to have such a laugh.

-How do I look?

We're getting a bus and a train to Wales, not a ticket to Hollywood.

You won't be able to walk in them shoes.

They're quite comfy actually and you said this was going to be a laugh.

-You're going to need a cagoule.

-What's a cagoule?

It's like a giant anorak.

-KNOCK ON DOOR

-Hold on!

Come in.

-You're not really going to Wales, are you?

-Yeah.

-No.

Even if we were, a real friend would want to come with us.

Yeah, that's what a real friend would do.

Oh, and a real friend don't forget her promises.

Anyway, come on.

-Frank?

-Yeah?

I thought you and Tee were good friends.

We were.

Friends don't fall out because one of them made a stupid mistake.

Look, I haven't been fishing since Grandad died.

I wanted to do it like he showed me. Prove I can do it on my own.

Well, we can take you fishing.

Not the point. You don't need to take me. Out there I can go on my own.

So you're going to let Tee suffer

because you can't go fishing on your own.

At least you're having a nice time, Gus.

Yeah, I like it here.

Why do people have to go away to have a holiday?

I don't know. To do something different.

Jumping in swimming pools. Just to have fun.

Fun!

Knight to king's bishop three.

If someone was going to do something they shouldn't,

but you promised not to tell, what would you do?

-Bishop takes pawn.

-Gus?

A promise is a promise. If you break it then it's not a promise.

And everything falls apart.

What if you didn't tell and then they get in danger?

Why would you keep a promise that got someone in danger?

Because friends are friends. You don't snitch.

But a friend who let's you get hurt isn't a friend.

Castle.

HE HUMS TO MUSIC

-Oh! Come here! I'll kill you!

-Ho-ho!

What's with all of the...?

Come back here!

Mike!

We do not use water pistols or any other water-based weapons

in the house. Are we clear? Now apologise to Gina.

-Sorry, Gina.

-Sorry.

When you're finished cleaning up this mess,

you can help Tracy set up the barbecue.

Boring.

We have to do something with these kids. They are climbing the walls.

-You shot me.

-I don't care about blooming what I did.

# Walking on sunshine whoa-oh

# I'm walking on sunshine oh-oh-oh

-# And don't it feel good. #

-You can't go.

What are you doing here?

Being a good friend and stopping you two from being stupid.

We're just going to spend some time with my dad on holiday.

-Which is where we'd all have been if you hadn't messed it up.

-Yeah.

-Where's the campsite then?

-Somewhere near Abergavenny.

-Somewhere near?

-Which means you don't have an address?

We'll have a phone signal by then.

It's your dad's signal we can't get hold of.

What if it's dark by the time you get there?

-Doesn't matter.

-Well, there's going to be no buses.

-Hitchhike?

-On your own in the dark?

-It's too late now.

-No, it's not.

Yeah, it is. Looks like you're coming with us.

Just chill out, Tee.

-No, I can't do this. I need to get off.

-No.

You ruined our holiday. You can't ruin this for us too.

-This is your chance to make it up to us.

-I can't come with you.

I haven't got any money or clothes or anything.

Dad will have money. And you can borrow stuff of ours. Can't she?

So this is your answer to everything? A burnt sausage.

It's better than nothing.

-Graeme, I owe you(!)

-I'm surprised you're not taking us bowling.

We can do that next if you want.

-Where are the girls?

-I'll go check on them.

-Rick.

-Mmm!

PHONE RINGS Look, stop worrying. Once we're with Dad everything will be all right.

-It's Tracy.

-Don't answer it.

-Answer it.

-Don't!

-I can't.

I can't find them anywhere.

Lilly and Carmen's bags and some clothes are missing.

-Their phone's going to voicemail.

-Where's Tee?

Maybe she went with them, seeing as no-one else was speaking to her.

Do any of you know where the girls might gone?

Tee said she made a promise not to tell on someone

who's doing something dangerous. And that friends don't snitch.

-Oh, no.

-What is it?

They were on the computer looking for a new holiday.

Go and check it out.

-Isn't Lilly's dad camping in Wales?

-Mm-hmm.

I think that's where they've gone. Look, coaches to Bristol.

Last one left at quarter to.

I'm going to phone the coach company, yeah?

-They're heading west so maybe we could catch up with them.

-Let's go.

MUSIC: "Summer Holiday" by Cliff Richard

# We're all going on a summer holiday

# No more working for a week or two

# Fun and laughter on our summer holiday... #

Call me as soon as you have some news, yeah?

-No, not you, Johnny.

-She's my sister!

-She's my friend!

Look, get out.

# We're going where the sun shines brightly

# We're going where the sea is blue

# We've seen it in the movies

# Let's see if it's true... #

Tickets there. Thank you very much.

Tickets.

-Is there someone meeting you in Bristol?

-No.

-Yeah.

-My dad.

-Yeah, what she said.

-That's good.

I thought you were too young to be travelling alone.

You never know what might happen. Ticket?

I haven't got one.

Single to Bristol, is it?

No, I want to get off.

-No, she doesn't.

-I do. Stop the coach. I really want to get off.

-We're in the middle on nowhere.

-You can't keep me on here.

-Tee, wait!

-Carmen!

-Look, I'm sorry, but we can't let her go on her own.

What now? Is your phone working?

Lilly!

All right, guys?

It may not be Wales but it is the middle of nowhere.

-Who you calling?

-Tracy.

To tell her what? Where to pick us up?

-Yes.

-And where is that exactly?

This looks like a bus. It's got to lead to somewhere.

Maybe a house or something.

Yeah, but it looks like it goes on for miles.

But at least they'll know where we are. Come on.

-There it is. Flash your lights.

-Toot your horn.

-Come on!

HE TOOTS HORN

-Oh, my feet are killing me.

-We can't stop now.

But you don't have a rucksack.

Fine then. You stay. I'll go.

You're right. I shouldn't have worn these shoes.

"They're really comfortable, actually!"

-You're so funny(!)

-Ow!

He dropped them off a few miles back. Go!

-You wouldn't last five minutes up a Welsh mountain.

-I would.

You joking? You can't even keep up with Tee.

Do you think she'll be all right on her own?

Come on, we'd better catch her up. Come on, slowcoach.

Shut the gate! Shut it!

Shut it!

Thank you so, so much.

I HATE people who leave these gates open.

What?

Are you on your own?

ENGINE STUTTERS TO A HALT

Why are we stopping?

-We've run out of petrol.

-You're joking me?

-Coming back from the farm, I didn't have a chance to fill it up.

-Mike!

How we going to find them now?

Look! Over there.

-Looks like Carmen and Lilly.

-Where's Tee?

Hold on, Johnny!

-Wait up!

-Carmen! Lilly!

-Wait, Johnny!

I didn't want to break a promise

but I didn't want to let them get lost in Wales either.

You did a very brave thing. Elm Tree House did you say?

-Mmm, it's a care home.

-Why does that ring a bell?

Oh, my goodness.

I can't believe you let her take off on her own to sort out your mess.

What do you two care? You weren't any nicer to her than we was.

-You're such a hypocritic.

-I think you mean hypocrite.

Hypocritics are people that criticise hippopotamuses.

-Hippopotami.

-Whatever!

-You girls...

-Careful.

-What you girls did was beyond stupid.

Nobody's covered themselves in glory.

-At least Tee tried to stop them.

-Any sign of her?

-Nope.

-Is it a mirage?

-I think so.

-Where are we?

-I've no idea.

-It's pretty.

Thank you, thank you so much. Goodbye.

They'll fill her up and bring her back here.

Thank you. I'm sorry to put you to so much trouble.

Nonsense. I ought to be apologising to you, Mr Milligan.

You don't realise where you are. Manor Hall Farm. You called earlier.

-Oh!

-Unforgivable of me. Turning you down because, well,

quite frankly, it was prejudice.

I pictured your charges out of control, wrecking the place.

-Well, they can be a handful.

-Such a dear, sweet girl.

I had no idea how important this holiday was to you all.

-Well, it's something that...

-So here's the deal.

We did have a cancellation. You can stay here for one week, half price,

-full board thrown in for nothing.

-We couldn't...

No arguments. I am a woman accustomed to getting her own way.

Do we have a deal?

Or are you going to deprive your charges of their summer holiday?

Thank you very much.

Don't thank me, thank that little girl of yours.

Such spirit and determination.

-She's a credit to you.

-I'll tell her that.

-You make sure you do.

MUSIC: "It's Got To Be Perfect" by Fairground Attraction.

Guys!

# It's got to be-e-e-e-e perfect

# It's got to be-e-e-e-e... #

This is going to be the best holiday ever.

Yeah, it's all thanks to Tee. We don't deserve.

So, are we forgiven yet? For being so mean.

-Course you are.

-Good.

-There you are, Frank.

-Thank you.

-Come on, Gus, come for a swim.

-It's great, you'll love it.

Sometimes you've got to forget the routine and jump.

-Come on, Gus. What could go wrong.

-Concussion, broken bones

and potentially drowning.

-You're thinking too much to have fun. Just this once.

-On holiday.

-Everything all right, boys?

-Does anyone want a drink?

-Just this once.

-Er, what's going on here?
