00:00Well, I'm sure everybody would like to join me in wishing Peter all our love and loads
00:26of best wishes as he starts his new life with Terry and Jill.
00:33You want me to cut it? I've never had a good look on your new life cake before. I'd quite
00:40like to keep it, you know, sort of as it is.
00:44Oh, go on Peter, have a slice. I made it special.
00:57OK, chump, are you taking a photograph of your old bedroom with you?
01:00Oh no, this isn't my bedroom here. This is my new bedroom at Jill and Terry's house.
01:07But it's just like my old room. Do you want to help me move in?
01:10Look, I put the bed, the chest, plus all my stuff in exactly the same place as it was here.
01:18Now when I move, it won't feel like anything has changed.
01:26OK.
01:42Zak, why is our bedroom full of garlic?
01:44Full moon, isn't it? Garlic is the most proven way of seeing off vampire attack.
01:49Look, this is my room too, and it smells like a kebab shop.
01:53It's all in here. There are strange things that move about in the night.
01:57Things we mortal men may not know what of.
02:00Look, that's it. I'm moving out.
02:04No, not what of that, mate.
02:10Um, you didn't need to give me a going away present.
02:13Has he? Come, have a look at these.
02:18Ew, what are you going to do with those?
02:21What? These are beautiful giant African land snails.
02:25That one's Speedy and that one's Gonzales.
02:28Where are they from?
02:29Class six, worth a fortune.
02:31They need special daily care, and I'm looking after them for the whole weekend.
02:35But we're not allowed to have pets here, Tracy.
02:37Everyone else gets a chance to look after them. How unfair is that?
02:41Why should kids with parents get all the snails all the time?
02:46Yeah, the party's jumping in, CJ.
02:49Most exciting bit so far was watching Zak peel Marzie Pan off his cake.
02:53Yeah, I'm all right for tonight.
02:55Yeah, it'd be nice to go to a real party after this effort.
02:5810.30 curfew, CJ. Not a moment longer.
03:02Right.
03:06Because I'm leaving, will it be like you're losing a friend?
03:10I don't see it so much as losing a friend as gaining a couple of snails.
03:15People at my party will be wondering where I am.
03:18When I walk out of here, I'm going to have a serious party.
03:22I'll invite everyone I know, and they'll all say it was the best party ever.
03:31There'll be loads of going-away presents,
03:34and then my mum will whisk me off to Hollywood
03:36and take me to all the Oscar parties with her.
03:39See you later. Bye.
03:44Bye.
03:53Er, well, bye then.
03:55Yeah, bye, Peter.
04:02It's dusty in here. Maybe my hater will come back.
04:15MUSIC PLAYS
04:26Hey, um...
04:28All in bed? On their way.
04:31I'm sorry I couldn't help you.
04:33I've still got a stack of work to finish before I go home.
04:36No worries. I've got it all under control.
04:40There are unexplainable phenomena.
04:42Things that do move about in the night.
04:44Yeah, and I'm one of them.
04:46Right. You're in, kids.
04:49Meet my new roommate.
04:51I've bought you biscuits, bubblegum, fizzy ones, anything else you'd need?
04:56Right. I'll be in his room.
04:58Fine.
05:00I'll be in the top bunk tonight, I think,
05:02if you'd just like to plump up my pillows, Maxie, and then you can retire.
05:06No problem, sir.
05:10Because I'm leaving.
05:12Will it be like you're losing a friend?
05:16Peter, I've had this great idea.
05:19You could come back and we could run the best circus ever.
05:23Everyone would come and see it,
05:25and your trick would be the top attraction ever.
05:28Your trick would be the top attraction ever.
05:59SCREAMS
06:02Hi.
06:04Pink Star, you don't leave her anymore.
06:06I couldn't sleep. My room wasn't the same.
06:09All my things were the same.
06:11It's just, it was different.
06:13So I came back.
06:15How did you get in here?
06:17The window in the downstairs, Lou.
06:29Don't make me go back.
06:31Quick, in here.
06:41You're nuts coming back.
06:43You had a whole new start with the browns.
06:45If it was a start there, that means something's finished here.
06:49Hmm.
06:52Wasn't this thing supposed to be on the top of the sink?
06:59Oh, no, Speed and Gonzales, they're gone.
07:02I promised them I'd look after them.
07:04What are the kids going to say at school?
07:06Have you any idea how much a giant snail costs?
07:09Come on, you've got to help me find them.
07:29MUSIC
07:50It's nothing.
07:55I can't find them anywhere.
07:59DOORBELL RINGS
08:05I missed the bus.
08:07I won't ask anything if you don't say anything.
08:14Speedy, Gonzales.
08:17Oh, snail slime.
08:19Brilliant, look.
08:22Quick.
08:28DOOR CREAKS
08:49He's gone.
08:51Quick, let's get out of here before Adele comes back from the bathroom.
08:54I'm not going anywhere. Everything's wrong.
08:57Peter, I know you're having a tough day,
08:59but help me find the stupid snails and I'll help you find your way home, yeah?
09:03I don't have a home here or at Terry and Jill's.
09:06I'm staying right here.
09:08You can't stay inside a wardrobe.
09:10Why not?
09:15That doesn't sound human.
09:18Ryan?
09:23Gone. I'd forgotten.
09:27SLURPING
09:32Exoplasm.
09:34Proof of life from another world.
09:41Ryan?
09:43Ryan?
09:46Ryan?
09:48You were right, there's no such thing as vampires or slimy specks from beyond the grave.
09:52So why don't I just get rid of all this garlic and stuff
09:55and you can move back in, yeah?
09:57Well, I don't know.
10:00I like it in here. It's quiet.
10:03Ryan, please, come back.
10:05Two things.
10:07I'll get the top bunk back
10:09and you buy air freshener, family size, first thing tomorrow.
10:13Deal?
10:18If you can't stay in a wardrobe forever...
10:20I could.
10:22Judy, if you can't stay in a shell all your life,
10:25you've got to stick your neck out,
10:27have a look around, do something new.
10:30You said those snails came from Africa, right?
10:35So maybe they ran away today
10:38because they really wanted to go home, where they feel safe.
10:41Yeah.
10:44And maybe they've got all they need with them in their bags.
10:47They take their home, friendships,
10:51memories with them.
10:53So maybe it doesn't matter where they go.
10:55Listen to me.
10:57What am I, a social worker?
10:59I sound like Elaine The Pain.
11:05She's going to find the snails.
11:07She's going to scream the planes down
11:09and we're going to get caught.
11:11SHE SCREAMS
11:13OK, OK, I'll admit this is a little unusual,
11:15but there's absolutely no need
11:17for us to bring in adults at this junction.
11:19Is there? OK?
11:21Tracy, you are so up to something.
11:23But you saved my bacon downstairs, so let's call it quits.
11:26Thanks, I really appreciate that.
11:28Anyway, better be going.
11:30SHE SCREAMS
11:32I've been slimed!
11:34Where did he come from?
11:36Speedy!
11:38SHE SCREAMS
11:45Maxie?
11:47Jack? Ryan? What is this, musical rooms?
11:50Adele?
11:52We'll be going out somewhere, hmm?
11:56Tracy?
12:00Peter?
12:02Peter, what are you doing here?
12:06Right, I want you all to go back to your rooms.
12:08Your own rooms would be nice.
12:14Peter, maybe you and I
12:16and Mike should go downstairs.
12:18I'll make us a hot chocolate and we can have a good old chat.
12:21I know. You're going to persuade me to go back to Terry and Jill's.
12:24You're really hard to think about, a champ.
12:26I know. I'll go back.
12:28You will?
12:30Tracy was talking to me.
12:32She convinced me to go back.
12:34Wow, well done, Tracy.
12:37SHE SCREAMS
12:39Gonzales, there you are!
12:41Speedy, look, it's your friend Gonzales.
12:43Isn't that great?
12:45Tracy Beaker!
12:48I thought you liked emotional reunions.
12:59OK, OK, just get on with my story.
13:03Cam, where are you?
13:05I'm going to be a bit late.
13:07I've been waiting ages already.
13:09I'm sorry.
13:11Every time, Cam, every single time you promise we can go swimming,
13:14you come up with some excuse.
13:16So what is it this time?
13:18No, don't tell me, you're defrosting the cat.
13:22Right, what are you calling up to?
13:24A big fat nothing, thanks to Cam.
13:29Come on, kiddo, back off a bit.
13:32It's not fair, Mike.
13:34I got up really early to do all my chores
13:36and she can't even be bothered to turn up on time.
13:39Cam's not just there for you, you know.
13:41She has got her own life.
13:43That's part of it. She knows I love swimming.
13:45Why don't you come over to my place until she turns up?
13:48I'll tell her where you are.
13:52One of these days she'll turn up late and I'll be gone for good.
13:55Then she'll be sorry.
13:59Justine.
14:02Ryan! Half this stuff is yours.
14:04How much more are you going to eat?
14:06Yeah, you're a big fat pig with hollow legs.
14:08Oink, oink, clunk, clunk.
14:10Jenny lumbers me with this chore every Saturday.
14:12All my mates are chilling out in town
14:14and I get to hang out in a load of manky underwear.
14:16They're yours, aren't they?
14:18I'd rather hang up clothes than do dishes.
14:20Well, let's swap.
14:22Swap jobs?
14:24Feel free.
14:26Give me the gloves.
14:28Exterminate!
14:30No, I can't do this without gloves. I've just been doing my nails.
14:32I'll swap you my job.
14:34All right, you're on. What's yours?
14:36Changing my sheet and duvet cover.
14:38Oh, gross.
14:40Well, you win some and you lose some.
14:46Oh, wow.
14:56Not bad.
14:58My mum's got one like that. A bit smaller, maybe.
15:02What about this?
15:04Bought it on the way back from Australia.
15:06That was one cool holiday.
15:10Well, I mean,
15:12it was a bit too hot
15:14and there's big hairy insects.
15:16Ugh!
15:18Just because I'm stuck in the dumping ground
15:20doesn't mean I don't get to go on holiday.
15:22Once, Mum and I stayed with one of her
15:24billionaire film star friends.
15:26We spent the mornings in her lagoon,
15:28the afternoon with her pets,
15:34and the evenings chilling out at her place.
15:36Cheer up, Tracy.
15:38It's going to be a nice, sunny weekend.
15:40And we got it cheap because there's so many of us.
15:46Maxie, want to swap chores
15:48and change Ryan's quilt for me?
15:50No way. I've only got to feed a goldfish.
15:52I'll give you 20p on top.
15:54They don't like strangers.
15:56What?
15:5850.
16:00OK, a pound, and that's my last offer.
16:02It's a deal.
16:04It's a deal.
16:16Do you want to play?
16:18Sure.
16:22And it's a massive tournament.
16:24Me against Dad. One day when he's not busy.
16:26What about your mum?
16:28She's always working.
16:30Yeah, mine too.
16:34What's in there?
16:40My den.
16:42Wow.
16:44It's perfect.
16:46Spare room.
16:48Spare bed.
16:50Three, right?
16:52To stay over.
16:54Yeah, permanently. We can get your mum and dad to foster me.
16:56Wicked.
16:58I've got loads of scary movies we can stay up all night.
17:00Yeah.
17:02Weekends will be fab.
17:04You and me would have a great laugh.
17:06And we'll be just like one big happy family.
17:16But Trace, how are we going to persuade them?
17:18We need a plan.
17:20A cunning and devious beaker special.
17:22What are you looking at?
17:28Oh, Maxie, dirty boy.
17:30It wasn't me.
17:32Yeah, right. What are you doing?
17:34I swore up jobs.
17:36Come on, I'll do it.
17:38But you've got to do my chore and water all the plants.
17:42Okay.
17:46Right on time.
17:50Oh, hi, Mum. Down for your coffee?
17:52Yes.
17:54That's nice. Work going okay?
17:56Don't ask.
17:58Oh, hello.
18:00Tracey, isn't it?
18:02Are you all right?
18:06It's all right, Tracey.
18:08You're here now.
18:10Whatever's the matter?
18:12Nothing.
18:14Get home.
18:18They make us work from dawn till dusk.
18:20But don't worry, Mrs B.
18:22However badly they treat me,
18:24I'll never, ever let them grind my spirit down.
18:28Yeah.
18:36Maxie, that's Louise's job.
18:38We swapped.
18:40What shop? Give me that.
18:42No, I like doing this job.
18:44Maxie, come back.
18:46It must be really hard for them, being the only child.
18:48And the dumping van has loads of kids to play with.
18:52At least I'm not becoming an adequate social misfit.
18:54Ben's okay, aren't you?
18:56Yeah, I'm fine.
18:58Apart from being worth it.
19:00I just know he'll have a brother or sister.
19:02I'm sorry, but you can forget it, Ben.
19:04I'm not going through all those sleepless nights again.
19:06Oh, yeah.
19:08Wouldn't it be lovely to skip all the hassle?
19:10Just get an older child, say ten-ish.
19:14Do you want any sugar with that?
19:16Maxie.
19:18Let me have it, Maxie.
19:20Okay.
19:22Organic cookie.
19:24Oh, thank you, Tracy.
19:26I'm fully house-trained.
19:28Oh, I wish I could say the same for Ben.
19:30I'm never any trouble.
19:32Jenny often says,
19:34Oh, very quiet. Where's Tracy?
19:36I'll be upstairs cleaning my room.
19:38Yeah, boys are always so messy and energetic, aren't they?
19:40I mean, sometimes I think it would be lovely
19:42to have a nice girl around the house.
19:44Consider it sorted.
19:46Pardon?
19:48I'll mention your name to my social worker.
19:50I'm sure she can pop round in the middle of the week.
19:52Oh.
19:54Oh, no, no. I meant...
19:56In the evening, if you're busy working.
19:58You're a very nice girl, Tracy, but...
20:00Of course, you do understand you can only have me temporarily.
20:02You do understand that my mum
20:04will be coming to pick me up very soon,
20:06after she's finished making her film in L.A.
20:08I think I'd better go and answer that.
20:10Dog!
20:12What's she done to you?
20:14I haven't done anything.
20:16You killed him.
20:18Murderer.
20:20Don't need this.
20:22Don't like blue.
20:24And...
20:26I don't want this.
20:28Hang on.
20:30There won't be room for it, Ben.
20:32Not after I've moved all my stuff in.
20:34Hi, Tracy.
20:36Are you ready?
20:38Hi, Tracy. You ready?
20:40We're off swimming.
20:42Oh, lovely.
20:44Ben has his own pool, so he doesn't have to splash his way
20:46through all the unwashed oiks.
20:48Well, you'll have to come and have a swim here one day, Tracy.
20:50I'd love to, Mrs. B.
20:52Bye for now, Ben.
20:54See ya.
21:00Come on, Maxine.
21:02But you can't hide me.
21:04It wasn't me.
21:06Justine, one more move and you'll be grounded.
21:08Where's Ryan?
21:14Adele, as it seems that you and I
21:16are the only sane people left in this house,
21:18could you please explain to me what this is all about?
21:20Well, it's quite straightforward, Jenny.
21:22I was fed up with hanging out washing,
21:24so I swapped drawers with Justine.
21:26And then Zach shredded the rubber gloves,
21:28and I'd just done my nails, and I didn't want to risk
21:30washing up without them, so I swapped drawers with Ryan.
21:32And then, surprisingly enough, I didn't fancy stripping
21:34his bed sheets, so I swapped drawers with Maxie
21:36and fed the goldfish.
21:38They do eat peanut butter, don't they?
21:40Anyway, it seems that Maxie had a little trouble
21:42with Ryan's quilt and Zorg,
21:44and so he swapped drawers with Louise
21:46and watered the plants and the washing.
21:48And that's about it, really.
21:50Except Ryan's just smashed all the plates.
21:52Shall I pick you some more up in town?
21:58I left my stuff at the dumping ground.
22:00Oh, we can pop back in here, innit?
22:02Well, I thought you wanted to go swimming.
22:04Look, Cam, I'm really going to have to think seriously
22:06about my future now I've got offers.
22:08Well, how do you mean?
22:10Well, don't expect me to hang around all the time
22:12waiting for you to decide
22:14whether you're going to foster me or not.
22:16Look, these things take time, Tracy.
22:18You can't just dive in.
22:20Well, Ben's family are very, very interested
22:22in fostering me.
22:26And they've got stacks of money.
22:32I'll wait in the car.
22:34We can forget it, if you like.
22:36You dragged me all the way back from Ben's house
22:38for nothing.
22:40Well, it's up to you.
22:42Ben's mum's got a brand-new Jeep.
22:48I'm going swimming with Cam.
22:50Great.
22:52Isn't it?
22:54Give this to Cam, will you?
22:56She couldn't get any in town.
22:58Thanks.
23:04Oh, I don't need them.
23:06I'm a fantastic swimmer.
23:08I love the water, and I always win
23:10every swimming competition going.
23:12People are always asking me how I got so good.
23:18Um, they're not actually for you.
23:20You're not going to wear armbands, are you?
23:22Now, I knew we had to come to this grotty pool,
23:24but you're doing your best to be a total embarrassment.
23:26I know I should have stayed at Ben's house.
23:28Yeah, well, maybe you should have, then,
23:30if that's how you feel.
23:32Because I don't live in a big fancy house,
23:34and I definitely can't give you all the stuff
23:36that Ben's parents can.
23:38And what's more, I'm petrified of water,
23:40and I'm only standing in the water
23:42because I don't want to get wet,
23:44and I don't want to get wet,
23:46and I don't want to get wet,
23:48and I don't want to get wet,
23:50and I'm petrified of water,
23:52and I'm only standing here with Maxi's armbands on
23:54looking like a right narner,
23:56because I know you love swimming,
23:58and I didn't want to let you down.
24:00Cam.
24:02Cam.
24:04You won't need the armbands.
24:08I've got a good life-saving certificate.
24:14If you've got in any trouble,
24:16I jump in and save you straight away.
24:20You can count on me.
24:28We can stay in the shallow end.
24:51So, I suppose you'll be going out with Ben's family then next week?
24:54I don't know. I'll think about it.
24:56Sometimes there are other things
24:58more important than money.
25:02So, you ready for the plunge then?
25:06I'm scared stiff.
25:08I'll look after you.
25:10Trust me. Come on.
25:14One.
25:16Two.
25:18Three.
25:20Ah!
