00:00Hi, my name's Dolly and I'm looking for a mummy and daddy. I'm 7 years old, I like picking
00:23flowers and making friends and I think I'd have a great time in Hollywood because I'm
00:27cute. Oh, hi Tracy. Dolly, is this what I think it is? Yeah, I'm going to get adopted
00:33in Hollywood. Do you think I should act a little more cute? What about this? I told
00:37you because I thought I could trust you. I'm making a video to get me adopted by a Hollywood
00:42star couple, not you. Got it?
00:57I read the article about how all the Hollywood stars are adopting. How's it going to look
01:05if instead of one cute English girl they get two? Ben, are you listening to me? Sure, sure,
01:09I'm just thinking maybe if the angle looks right we can do something more interesting
01:14with the background. It doesn't matter how the background looks Ben, the important thing
01:17is how I look. Of course. I'm just thinking that this is cool and young budding directors
01:23don't get that many chances to get their work seen by top Hollywood stars.
01:26Hello, what's going on here? This? Oh, well, you see, Ben's making a video for his school
01:35project and the title's My Hero and it's all about me. Tracy, look, I got replies.
01:42Kelly Potman and Hank Lewis, stars of Ninja Detectives 1, 2 and 3. How did you? Dolly,
01:52don't get excited. It's just an automatic response from their website.
01:56Kelly and Hank probably never even read your email.
01:59Bowser, Dolly got an email from the Ninja Detectives. Look, Tracy, it's not a problem.
02:06There's plenty of star couples out there, enough for all of us. Yeah, right, the messed up British
02:12kid. Every American wants one. You're living in a dream world. Excuse me, Tom Cruise and Nicole
02:17Kidman adopted. Michelle Pfeiffer adopted. Need I go on? All right, but they want perfect little
02:22babies. Not problem kids that are going to embarrass them. That's why getting the look
02:27right is so important. Right, Ben? You can take on a bit of my work. I don't see why not. If I
02:35can borrow my dad's camera and my mum's, yeah, I should be able to manage. Great. I have one
02:41idea and suddenly the dumping ground has got more stars in it than the Milky Way. Move!
02:50Right, hi, Tracy Beak here. Okay, so the deal is simple. You adopt me and sue for guilty conscience
02:56and in return I want one, a pool, two, either a chauffeur driven car or unlimited cash for taxis
03:03and three, you've really got to up the standard of your movies. I mean Ninja Detectives, fair
03:08enough, but two sequels. Hi, I'm Justine. Just to say, if Tracy's not quite right, I stay completely
03:14out of your creative choices. There's too many movies being made in this studio. Yeah, they
03:19usually wake us at about 5.30am with what we call the doom stick. It's basically a big stick with
03:26some like thorns on the end. Yeah, so then it's up off our straw mattresses, down to the kitchen
03:32to fight for a bowl of gruel. It's a hard life, yes, but I'm happy with my lot. I'd be sad in a way if
03:38I had to leave for California, but... Cut! No, this is useless. You can see the stereo. Besides, no one's
03:47gonna buy all this stuff. It's too much. But that's the idea. The sympathy vote. Yeah, but it's got to be
03:56believable. What we need is some documentary-style stuff, raw and gritty, like the cruel staff taking
04:03out on the kids. But that, like, doesn't happen. I guess that's just the way life is. It flows like a
04:12river twisting this way and that. Who knows if that river is a river of tears. Tears of sorrow and pity,
04:23cried by the lonely and broken-hearted. Or a river of joy pouring forth into an ocean of love.
04:33What is certain is that if you adopt me, I'll fit right in. I should be earning my keepers and
04:38actress in a matter of weeks. Well, no. No more food from the kitchen for you lot. Well, cut it there.
04:44I'm ordering in pizza. I suppose it could work, but the lighting's not right. It looks terrible. I mean,
04:55this hidden camera work, it's very restricting. Yeah, and Jude doesn't look nasty enough. We need
05:02to make this place look like a living hell. What we need is some poor sap who's stupid enough to
05:07play the part of a real hardball. Who'd be dumb enough to do that? Hey, camera, what's the project?
05:21Oh, you've just caught me finishing my lesson of the day. Hi, I'm Tracy Beaker, and my hobbies
05:26include classical music, play, and listening. Literature, flower arranging, and just generally
05:35helping around the house. What? Sorry, I just can't help it. I mean, really. Tracy, just think,
05:43if someone actually went for all this stuff, do you think they'd get a bit of a shock?
06:06So, we're making a hard-hitting drama about life in a children's home, okay? That's great. That's
06:12so great. It's brilliant to see some creativity going on around here. Yeah, but the character we
06:16need for the drama is like the most horrible, harshest care assistant ever. Okay, well, give it a try.
06:27Okay, action. What? A hundred press-ups just for not making my bed? That's so unfair. Yes,
06:35now you come to mention it, that does sound a bit unreasonable. Cut. You've got to give it more.
06:41Think angry, okay? Think I'm not a very nice person. Sorry, okay. Action. What? 300 press-ups just
06:51for forgetting to floss my teeth? Yes, you've got to remember to floss, otherwise there could
06:56be a build-up of plaque, and that makes me very angry. Cut. Okay, I think I'm ready for another
07:04shot at it. Cam, hit record, will you? Okay, on. Hi there. I just wanted to say I'm sure we're really
07:11going to get on, and I'm looking forward to spending lots of time with you. You see, my last
07:15was to pound. Didn't really have the time to look after me properly. Ahem, I worked full-time, but I
07:21made all the time I could. And she couldn't really cook anything, well, except baked beans, if you
07:26call that cooking. Ha, that's rich. Listen, just make sure you don't make her anything remotely
07:33green or healthy, and you'll be fine. I'm sure you won't be so argumentative. Argumentative? Let me introduce
07:39the world's junior arguing champion. Oh, I am not. I think we should cut there. No, no, no. Now we're finally
07:46getting to the good stuff. Hey! So I'm just going to have to file a report to my supervisor. Cut.
07:54Maybe we should call it a day. No, look, if you give me enough time, I'm sure I can get it right.
07:59Elaine, don't take this the wrong way, but you're a sap. You're sappy in real life, and you're a sap.
08:05Don't you talk to me like that. How dare you? Roll camera. I said roll it! As for you, I want you to
08:14get down right now and give me 600 press-ups. Are you sure? I said 600! Yay! Now get to it, unless you want me to make it a thousand!
08:24Why? Why, oh why, oh why, oh why, oh why? Louise, are you okay?
08:32I don't know. I don't know if I'll ever be okay again. What's happened? No. Well, it was Elaine.
08:42It was Elaine. She shouted at me. Elaine? What's got into her?
08:53Look, I'm just saying we had our problems, just that maybe those problems would still be there
09:00with someone else who tried to look after you. Listen, I'm prime adoption material.
09:06Tracey, even if you did by some miracle pull this off, would you really want to go? Leave everyone
09:11you know behind? I don't know. Let's see, shall we? Tracey. My tape and I are leaving. Tracey.
09:23Ugh.
09:53Hey, Justine, check this out. It's one of these begging emails that darling's been sending out.
10:04How did you get into her email? She told me her password, little sap. Hey, listen to this.
10:09Dear Kelly and Hank, I'm really looking forward to living in Hollywood, blah blah. Listen,
10:14how big is my room going to be? It's just that I need to know how much to pack. Amber, that's not
10:19funny. Hey, half pipe, what makes you think you're so special, eh? Do you think you're the only one
10:24with dreams? Leave her, Amber. Do you want to go to Hollywood? I want to be in a band, but I'm smart
10:28enough to realise it's never going to happen. Yeah, well, I know what I'm doing. Ah, there you
10:37are. Hey, Duke. Fancy a coffee? I'd love one. Elaine, I want you to have a word with you.
10:45Have you been feeling under pressure at all recently? No, not really. Why? I think we'd
10:52better have a word with Louise. I think she was in a pretty bad way when I saw her, but by the
11:00sounds of it, she's feeling a lot better. When the morning cries and you hide your stars, it's hard
11:06to bear. When nothing's beside you, you're going nowhere. So I hope I've proved to you that if you
11:13adopt me, not only will you be getting a charming foster daughter, but a hugely talented singer,
11:18actress and dancer as well. Come here. No, please, Duke, not the cupboard. Don't put me in the cupboard.
11:32I can explain. I think you'd better.
11:34Dolly, I know we haven't always been best friends, but is everything okay? I mean,
11:46is anything bothering you? Dolly, we need to talk. It's about your video and emails
11:53to Kelly and Hank. It's got to stop. Tracy, the gun blazing approach isn't going to help.
11:59Dolly's obviously not very happy. She's just got to be reminded about the differences between
12:03dreams and reality. That's all. How do you know something serious isn't really bothering her?
12:08Dolly, I thought your birthday was in February. As I was saying, you've got to stop.
12:18Look at all this great stuff and it's all for free. This is all from Kelly and Hank. I know.
12:24They don't want to look after me, but boy do they feel bad about it. The guilt trip, so simple and
12:30so effective. Yeah, so if you've got any jobs lined up for a roadie or a drummer or anything
12:37like that, then I'd be up for it. Oh, and I really liked your last album. Okay, Amber, great. How do
12:43you feel about doing a peace sign? Peace. Later. Hey! Peace. Later. Tracy! Tracy Beaker is my
13:00name. Causing trouble is my game. Ha! Two, three, four. Nathan's in love.
13:15She's just a friend. Nathan's my best friend, not her.
13:20Dolly's getting jealous. Dolly's getting jealous. Come on.
13:31Oh, Anna, I love you, Anna. Oh, Nathan, I love you too.
13:42Hi, kids. Don't forget the tickets.
13:48Come on, Hank. I will soon.
13:54If you've nothing better to do, I could find you a few jobs.
13:57You're late. A few minutes. Okay. Sorry.
14:05Hello? We just said goodbye. Yeah, goodbye again. No, I won't forget. I promise.
14:16Two, three, four. All right, all right. Come on, kids. Come on, kids.
14:21Quick game with Dolly and me. Come on, it's truth or dare.
14:28Not truth or dare. I'm not having truth or dare. It's dangerous.
14:31Why does she get to choose the game? On your own head, bitch.
14:40Do you like Anna best in the whole wide world? Gee, I didn't choose truth.
14:45Tell me. Of course not. The person I like
14:47best in the whole wide world is someone whose name begins with D.
14:52Me, darling. I'm getting a sick bag.
14:59I choose... No dares.
15:03I'm still having nightmares after the last Tracey Beaker dares.
15:05It's when my foot has sicked up the worms they made me.
15:09You've sicked them over me.
15:11Thumbing ground rule number 27,
15:13Duke, be fast with the sick bucket when a kid calls you in the night.
15:16You'll have to choose truth.
15:17Well, then there's no point in Tracey Beaker playing because she never tells the truth.
15:21Liar. I always tell the truth.
15:23Then tell us why your ex-foster mother can't dump you back in the dumping ground.
15:26That's it. You can play a nice, friendly game of...
15:29She still hasn't got an answer. I told you before.
15:33She's a very famous journalist. She has to go abroad all the time.
15:37Her last job was to find a rare species of jungle apes.
15:40She didn't want to leave me, but I told her she should go.
15:47She couldn't take me because I hadn't had all my booster shots
16:04and I could have caught a dangerous disease.
16:06Liar.
16:07Liar, liar, pants on fire.
16:10Liar, liar, pants on fire.
16:15Liar, liar, pants on fire.
16:17Right. If that's the way you want it, I'll tell the truth.
16:20All day until six o'clock tonight and you'll be sorry.
16:26You've just unleashed pure evil.
16:34Is work, business or personal?
16:37Not work.
16:45Hi.
16:46I caught you talking to your girlfriend.
16:48Wrong. But if I don't get these tickets, you won't be any kind of friend.
16:51What tickets?
16:56I've always wanted to see them. Oh no, I don't have enough money.
17:01Oh, it's on hold again. If I don't get through, I won't be able to get these tickets.
17:05Well, I could go down there, get the tickets for you.
17:08Oh, you star.
17:09If you sub me a fiver so I can buy one too.
17:11That'd be a catch.
17:12Pretty please.
17:15Deal.
17:17She'll never do it.
17:19Will never do what?
17:20Tracy Beaker. She'll never go a whole day telling the truth.
17:26But what if she does?
17:29What?
17:30What if she tells the truth about everything bad we do?
17:32Don't do anything bad.
17:34But what if she tells the truth about everything bad we've already done?
17:39We have to get in first.
17:44Oh, I'm getting fat, aren't I?
17:47No.
17:51I have to be stopped from telling the truth.
17:53What I have in here could bring this whole place down.
17:58Tracy Beaker sneaks out of her room after bed time.
18:00And she stole the biscuits.
18:01And she's alive.
18:06And shut up, all of you.
18:08What is going on?
18:09Actually, lots of things have been going on, Jenny.
18:11As you know, I was going to keep quiet about everything.
18:15But that forced me to tell the truth.
18:17You know that sandwich toaster that went missing?
18:21I didn't.
18:22Don't believe her.
18:23Midnight feast in your room, Amber.
18:25Tut, tut.
18:26And how did that glue get on the sofa again?
18:28It was him.
18:29You liar.
18:30Anyway, you broke that lamp in the lounge.
18:32And Louise, what were you doing out with Justine's new bag on Saturday?
18:36I thought I lost that.
18:37You bag thief.
18:39Well, you spilled milk all over my bed and pretended it was me.
18:42I said that game would end in tears.
18:43But did anybody listen?
18:45This is not truth telling.
18:46This is snitching.
18:48And I hate snitching.
18:49Now go.
18:52All of you.
18:57You're cute, Tracy Beaker.
19:04I'm sorry, Jenny, if you don't like the truth.
19:06Oh, and by the way, Duke, Jenny always lies about your weight.
19:08She does think you're fat.
19:12I'll be in the garden.
19:18I'm never speaking to you ever again, Justine Littlewood.
19:22Get out of my room, liar.
19:24It's my room, traitor.
19:26I think I like this truth business.
19:29People might come from all over just to hear me tell them the truth.
19:33In fact, if the truth were an Olympic event, I'd get gold.
19:37Everyone will think I'm fantastic.
19:41Hey, is Nathan here?
19:44He's not in.
19:45He must be.
19:46He invited me for lunch.
19:53He treats this place like his home.
19:55He's got a good mind to go out there and...
19:58You think I'm being a bit hard on him, don't you?
19:59I'll take these up to the kids.
20:01Why?
20:04Nobody's talking to anybody, and they won't come out of the rooms until six
20:06in case Tracy tells the truth again.
20:09Well, you can come and eat yours with me if you like.
20:12I'm not having any.
20:13I've got to lose weight.
20:15Remember?
20:19She's so cute.
20:20She's so sweet.
20:21She's so sweet.
20:22She's so sweet.
20:23She's so sweet.
20:23She's so sweet.
20:24She's so sweet.
20:24She's so sweet.
20:25She's so sweet.
20:25She's so sweet.
20:26She's so sweet.
20:26She's so cute.
20:28Then she's not being a pest, eh, Dolly?
20:34I've got secrets.
20:36I love secrets.
20:36Will you tell me?
20:38Nathan loves ghosts.
20:40What?
20:40It's true.
20:42What?
20:43Come with me.
20:44I can prove it.
20:44I'll be back in a minute.
20:47Okay.
20:57Tell her what Nathan said about her in Truth or Dare.
21:04We have to put up with damaged children here and be kind to them.
21:07Bug off!
21:08Tell!
21:08Did he talk about me in Truth or Dare?
21:10Yes, but-
21:11She's usually a big fat liar, but not today.
21:14The truth is he must be mad.
21:16He likes a horrible girl whose name begins with D.
21:21Wait!
21:22It's not what you think.
21:24Got them!
21:24Just in time.
21:25They were nearly sold out.
21:26Anna, I've got tickets.
21:28Who is this D person you like so much better than me?
21:32No, look, you've got it wrong.
21:34You've got it wrong if you think I ever want to see you again!
21:36My ticket!
21:38You've ruined everything!
21:40Look-
21:40Bet this was down to you!
21:42Anna, I can explain.
21:43Stop right there!
21:45Is your social life really more important than your job?
21:48No, but, look, sorry.
21:52Was this something to do with your so-called truth-telling?
21:55You think you know everything, don't you?
21:57Jenny always has to be right and everyone else has to be wrong.
22:00Why is everyone asking for the truth if they can't take it?
22:06Anna, wait, Anna!
22:25🎵
22:41🎵 Someday I'll win 🎵
22:45🎵 That's not a lie 🎵
22:49🎵 So don't expect me 🎵
22:53🎵 Despite all to cry 🎵
22:57🎵 Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah 🎵
23:16It's not my fault if the truth hurts.
23:24🎵
23:44Roll up, roll up!
23:47Come and see the greatest show on earth!
23:53Everybody gather round!
23:55Where's the fire?
23:57Through no fault of my own, I was forced to tell the truth and make everyone unhappy.
24:01Now, it's your turn.
24:03We don't like that game!
24:05It's one minute to six.
24:06Just enough time to tell Tracy Beaker the truth about herself.
24:09She won't murder you.
24:11So, who'll be first?
24:15Tracy Beaker sucks.
24:17That's the best she can do.
24:19Tracy Beaker's a snitch.
24:21Tracy Beaker hurts people's feelings.
24:22Yeah, she never minds her own feelings.
24:24She doesn't care for anyone else's feelings.
24:26She's horrible.
24:36Wait.
24:37I still have enough time to tell the truth back.
24:40No more, Tracy.
24:41No, I insist.
24:42Jenny, you're the biggest bossy-boots in the world.
24:46But that's because you really care about us.
24:49And the truth about you, Duke, is you're very, very cuddly.
24:53Now, wait.
24:53I still have to tell the truth.
24:55You're fat.
24:56But if you dare change, we'll never forgive you.
25:00Nathan, you're hopeless, pathetic, the worst care worker in the world,
25:05and the most fun we've ever had.
25:07And you lot, you're all loonies, but you're sort of family.
25:12And I'm truly sorry I made you all hate me.
25:14A few seconds to six, thank goodness.
25:18Six, five, four, three, two, one.
25:23I never have to tell the truth again.
25:47Doesn't matter what may come my way
25:50No, no
25:50Believe me now, I will win someday
