00:00How can all your clothes be dirty? You've got to take more responsibility for yourself
00:25when you move out. You can't wander around wearing no trousers all your life.
00:29See, yippee. Next stop, a dull job, followed by a dull wedding with dull kids. You'll be
00:35old and dull before you know it. Just like these two.
00:38No, I won't. When I move into the halfway house, I live by my own rules.
00:42At Cam's place, we have to vote on rules, rotas, everything. Democracy, she calls it.
00:48Having a say in your life is positive. It reaches into our inner selves.
00:52You'll be giving this lot the vote next.
00:54Why not? Yeah, why not? Elaine, you are a genius.
01:01Well, I wouldn't say that exactly.
01:04Such vision. I can just see the bestseller now. Elaine, democracy and the inner self.
01:13Bestseller?
01:24We'd better get started now before someone steals the idea.
01:37Now what?
01:40I only asked for some trousers.
01:43So, voting gives you all kinds of grown-up responsibilities. What do you think?
01:52Brilliant, Elaine. Can we vote on anything?
01:55Absolutely. Anything you want. Just propose it.
01:59OK, I propose there are no rules. Vote.
02:05No, no, I don't think that...
02:06That's that then. Passed unanimously.
02:09Yes!
02:11Well, no, no, hang on. Wait.
02:16That woman. That girl.
02:19That girl. This place.
02:25Why are you wearing a suit?
02:31An interview?
02:34Why on earth would you want another job?
02:37More money. Less work.
02:40As if I haven't got enough problems.
02:49Oh, one other thing. Could you give me a written reference?
03:19Hi, Duke. Where are you off to? Getting married?
03:34Married? Who knows I want to marry him?
03:46I'd marry you, Duke.
03:49Hey, what are you two up to?
03:59Hello. I'd like a temp cook for a week, please.
04:05What about a day? Half a day? An hour?
04:09Hello? Hello?
04:13So, how's the brilliant idea coming along?
04:17Marvellous. Everything's, um, you know...
04:21Great. Well, you can make the lunches, then.
04:24Oh, I'd like to, but the thing is I have to observe, take notes. Can't Duke do it?
04:30No. He's been headhunted.
04:33Oh. So Mr Smart really does listen to my suggestions, after all.
04:39You recommended him for another job?
04:42Brilliant, isn't it?
04:47So, if there's no food, when do we eat?
04:56When we say so.
05:00Well, we could if there was anything to eat.
05:03Someone's nicked a lot. Who'd do that?
05:05Boys, of course.
05:06Typical. They're all the same.
05:08Yeah. Greedy and selfish.
05:10Hey, that's sexist. You girls have got a serious attitude problem.
05:17I'll give them attitude.
05:25Is it free run, this place?
05:26Girls. Typical.
05:28I suppose we could share with them.
05:30No!
05:36Let's get cooking.
05:37Looks like we're just in time. Make mine two eggs, sunny-side up.
05:41Yeah, in your dreams.
05:42But we're hungry.
05:43OK, here you go.
05:47Enjoy.
05:47Hang on, there has to be a solution.
05:50Yeah, we'll fight you for it.
05:53OK, game on.
05:56OK, leave the line, come on.
05:57We could web this bunch any time.
05:59Oh, I said let's go.
06:01Yeah, go on, run off.
06:03Yeah, you bunch of girls.
06:08Bunch of girls. With Tracy Beaker.
06:12It seems quiet after the care home.
06:14This is where the real care work is done.
06:17You can make a real positive difference here.
06:20It might take some time getting used to working in an office again.
06:24You mean one like this?
06:28This would be your office. Pot plant and all.
06:44As far as I'm concerned, the job's yours.
06:56All I need is a written reference.
06:59You do have one, don't you?
07:14Oh, dear me.
07:24I've never read a reference like that before.
07:28Oh, well, nice to have met you.
07:31Sounds like he thinks the world of you.
07:34You must make quite a team.
07:37I guess so.
07:39When can you start?
07:40Have you got your national insurance forms?
07:44Oh, sorry, no.
07:48I'll post them on.
07:49No, no, I want to fast track this.
07:50I'll pick them up in the morning.
07:52So, welcome aboard, eh?
07:56Yeah, I mean, what are you going to do?
07:59Yeah, exactly.
08:00We'll stuff ourselves, then veg out with telly and computers.
08:04Oh, no, she wouldn't.
08:07They haven't.
08:08Looking for one of these, boys?
08:09Give us that.
08:10Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
08:15I think you need to discuss this.
08:18Hello, anyone?
08:20How's the meal, boys?
08:21Give them back.
08:22We'll fight you for them.
08:23And you can forget about the vegging out as well.
08:25You can't do this.
08:26You can only get one channel without the remote.
08:29Wildlife.
08:30And don't even bother trying to use the toilets.
08:32Discipline holding up, then?
08:51Pretty much.
08:52And there'll be terrific research for my best seller.
08:55Don't worry, I've got everything under control.
09:03This is better talking.
09:09You have to admit it got a bit silly.
09:13It's not very grown up, is it?
09:15No, grown-ups have had strikes.
09:17Riots.
09:18Wars.
09:19Right, well, anyway, it's time to negotiate.
09:24How about a compromise?
09:26Good idea.
09:26Yeah.
09:27You can have half the food.
09:29If you cook all the meals.
09:32How about you bog off?
09:34This is Warbeaker.
09:36That suits us.
09:53Oh, don't worry, Sonia.
09:55It's way past your bedtime.
09:57What bedtime?
09:58Yeah, no rules, no bedtime.
10:01Yeah!
10:13Quiet, I'm trying to get to sleep.
10:15I'm tired.
10:16I'm tired and hungry.
10:18So what do you suggest?
10:20Just give in.
10:21No way, we should attack.
10:23When the time is right.
10:31How's things?
10:35Fine.
10:37I suppose you think when you go away, everything just falls to pieces.
10:41No, no, I just thought that...
10:44Yeah, the fridge is empty.
10:47Everyone's starving and the kids have turned into packs of wild animals.
10:51But apart from that, everything's perfectly normal.
11:01No, Crash, no!
11:23But I'm so hungry.
11:25You're hungry.
11:27I'm so empty.
11:28Hey, I could eat your horse.
11:35I'll take these and get off.
11:37Meet the kids first.
11:39I'd love to, but busy, busy.
11:46You must be able to find some common ground.
11:48A like you share, but a dislike then.
11:52Surely something in here makes you go mad.
11:55Now you've come to mention it.
11:58Yeah, there is.
11:59Great, so why don't you resolve your differences and unite?
12:06Sounds good to me.
12:07Okay, I'm up for that.
12:09Great, so come on then.
12:11Let it all hang out.
12:13Okay, if you say so.
12:24Off already?
12:25Just typing up my notes is all going brilliant-ish.
12:28Smart, quick, save yourself.
12:30Get out of here!
12:45Duke, let's get out of this dump.
12:49They're animals.
12:51Actually, they're not animals.
12:53They're kids who need care.
12:55That's why it's called a care home.
12:58But you've forgotten that with your comfy office and your pot plants.
13:04Goodbye.
13:05Who needs an office when you've got all this?
13:13Right, you lot!
13:17I've just got one word to say to you.
13:22PIZZA!
13:26PIZZA!
13:32Do remember viewers, watching TV gives you square eyes.
13:36Not!
13:39You've done Goldilocks, you've seen Cinderella,
13:42but there's no one quite like Bicha.
13:45Hurry up, Shant.
13:46It's feeding time.
13:47Um, he's not here.
13:51What?
13:52He's not in his box.
13:54Of course he is!
13:55You're just not looking, Poppy.
13:58He's not me.
14:00He's not in his box.
14:02What's the matter?
14:03What is it?
14:04He's gone.
14:08Oh, no.
14:12What kind of monster gets up your nose?
14:14A bogeyman.
14:17Oh, Sid, Sid.
14:19What's the difference between an elephant and a biscuit?
14:22Have you ever tried dipping an elephant into a cup of tea?
14:30Uh-oh.
14:31Red alert, red alert.
14:32We have a sense of humour failure.
14:34I repeat, we have a sense of humour failure.
14:51Okay, Sid.
15:04This will make you laugh.
15:06Bounce.
15:06Do your Dot Cotton impression.
15:08You're such a pretty girl, Sonia.
15:12Okay, okay.
15:13Dot Cotton being attacked by piranha fish.
15:16Sonia!
15:17Sonia!
15:18Oh, come on, Sid.
15:22This is really hilarious.
15:24Okay.
15:26Bounce.
15:27Do your exploding alien.
15:33Yes.
15:35Later, boys.
15:39There's something wrong with him.
15:41Yeah.
15:41Doesn't he realise we're like the funniest people here?
15:44Comedy dream team.
15:45That's us.
15:45If we can't make him laugh, no one can.
15:48Ooh.
15:52He was like my best mate.
15:55I could tell him anything.
15:57Call yourself a wellard?
16:00Wellards don't cry over nothing.
16:02But...
16:03Nothing.
16:04Got it?
16:05Me and Roxy are family.
16:06We're the only mates you need.
16:09Now, let's split up and search.
16:12Hi, my name's Bounce Bokova.
16:14And when I grow up, I want to be a pop star.
16:17I just can't get you out of my head.
16:21Boy, your loving is all I think about.
16:24Have you two been drinking that fizzy drink again with all the additives?
16:27No.
16:29We're just trying to make you laugh.
16:30You know, like this.
16:33I laugh as much as anyone else.
16:35What?
16:35You never made me laugh.
16:37I'm not making you laugh.
16:38I'm making you laugh.
16:40What?
16:40You never find anything funny?
16:42That's not true.
16:43I have a finely honed appreciation of comic irony.
16:46Yeah?
16:46Okay.
16:47So when was the last time I had a good, proper giggle then?
17:03Has anyone seen Marco?
17:06Sorry.
17:07We were supposed to be making an animal hospital.
17:11Oh, dear.
17:15Tell me the truth.
17:17Am I a humorless grump?
17:21No, come on.
17:22This is serious.
17:24Tell me.
17:26You've had a very heavy workload recently.
17:28What's that, a code for you've got no sense of humor?
17:31Well...
17:34Everyone has.
17:36Yeah.
17:37That's ridiculous.
17:40I like a laugh as much as the next man.
17:44Aw!
17:46Gotcha.
17:46It's only plastic, Jude.
17:48That is childish and silly and it's totally unfunny.
17:52Isn't it, Jude?
17:56What's wrong with you?
18:01Are you looking for Marco, too?
18:03Yeah, a snake's got out.
18:05Cool, snake.
18:07His name's Rex.
18:10Go on, Rio.
18:11Go and look in the hole.
18:13Go on.
18:14I heard a noise.
18:17What kind of snake is it?
18:19I don't know.
18:20A slithery one.
18:21Lives near water.
18:24Get a grip or I'm not helping.
18:27Got it?
18:28I just couldn't bear it.
18:29If anything happened to him...
18:35Perfect.
18:36This can't fail.
18:37Thank you, Deary.
18:38Oh, I'm sure my bum looks big in this.
18:40Oh, massive, Deary.
18:41Massive.
18:41Size of a large asteroid.
18:43Enough of your cheek, Edna.
18:44Now go and ring the bell before your tights fall down.
18:46Off you go, little girl.
18:48We have an urgent appointment with the manager of this magnificent establishment.
18:52You know, one who doesn't laugh much.
18:54If ever.
18:55Oh, Edna, I'm off again.
18:57I'll give you the handbag.
18:59Bro, not that hard.
19:03Good afternoon, sir.
19:05We're here to foster a couple of children.
19:07Two nice bright kiddies.
19:10No smelly ones.
19:11We don't want any riffraff.
19:14You're rehearsing a play.
19:18I see what you're doing.
19:20What are you doing?
19:22Sid.
19:24You really do have a problem.
19:31Have you seen Malcolm?
19:33Sorry?
19:34Cry.
19:35You know about snakes, don't you?
19:39Snakes?
19:42Yeah, I know about snakes.
19:44Every type, every mutation, every variety.
19:47I won't risk being caught face to face with one, though.
19:49I don't know whether it's a suffocator or a venom splitter.
19:55Are you scared of them?
19:57No way.
19:58Snakes are cool.
20:01Okay, which snakes live near water?
20:07Bow constrictors.
20:09They eat anything from a mouse to a live antelope.
20:13That's what meows got then.
20:16You're joking.
20:18No.
20:19We have to find it before it gets really hungry.
20:24I'll get Jackie to help.
20:49Sid, there's a massive bow constrictor on the looks in the dumping ground.
20:52You've got to do something right now.
20:54Yeah, nice try, Crash.
20:56You nearly had me laughing.
20:58Maybe if you'd said there's a six-foot, celery-snorting yeti on the rampage, I might have giggled.
21:04But a snake?
21:05Eh, a bit predictable, really.
21:06Sorry.
21:07I'm not joking, Sid.
21:09There's a very large, very hungry bow constrictor somewhere in this very care home.
21:13Ooh.
21:14Help and safety won't allow it.
21:15That's all you're going to do about it.
21:16Forget it, Crash.
21:18It does not get more funny the more you labour it.
21:22Hang on, hang on.
21:24On a scale of one to ten, how funny would you say this is?
21:28What did one earwig say to the other earwig as they fell out the tree?
21:32I don't know, what?
21:33Earwig O, earwig O, earwig O.
21:37What did one earwig say to the other earwig as they fell out the tree?
21:40I don't know, what?
21:42Earwig O, earwig O.
21:46That's not funny.
21:52Can you see anything?
21:53No.
21:55What?
21:57Something's there.
22:01It's only a vacuum cleaner.
22:04Of course, I knew that.
22:11Jacky.
22:22Wow.
22:23Marco, Jacky, Layla, World Time Blamange, come and get it.
22:32The blamange is off.
22:37Well, at least it's better than Crash's snake joke.
22:40No, Sid.
22:41There really is a snake.
22:43Really, really.
22:43Oh, and I'm Posh Beckham's grandmother.
22:46Rio, she's been keeping it a secret under Chantal's bed.
22:51No, he's gone.
22:54We can't find Marco anywhere, but we found Rio's snake.
22:57Oh, yes.
22:59I'm afraid it's bad news.
23:08I'm sorry, Rio.
23:10He's dead.
23:11By the look of things, he's been that way a long time.
23:15We put him in Crash's snooker cue box.
23:18It is needless greater.
23:21Sid.
23:22Sorry, it's just a long box.
23:25It's Rio's pet in there.
23:27Not funny.
23:28Yeah, I'm sorry.
23:30Maybe we could bury him in the garden.
23:35Out now.
23:36Of course we could bury him in the garden, if that's what you want, Rio.
23:40I'd like to see him for one last time.
23:43I wouldn't, Rio.
23:44There's not much left of him.
23:48Don't worry, Rio.
23:49Let it all out.
23:50I don't want it.
23:51He's alive.
23:52It's his skin.
23:54You fickles.
23:55He just shed his skin.
23:58Rex lives.
24:00That's great.
24:02Where is he, then?
24:04And where's Marco?
24:05And where's Marco?
24:07No one's seen him all morning.
24:08Layla!
24:40Have you been in the attic making the animal hospital?
24:46Annabelle can be our first patient.
24:48He's mine.
24:49His name's Rex and he's not sick.
24:52But I found him.
24:54He's a wild snake.
24:55All right, Crash?
24:57Yeah, sure.
24:59Just a harmless little wild snake.
25:03It's harmless.
25:04It's totally harmless.
25:06I just...
25:07I just got it.
25:09Chicken!
25:12He's a wild creature, Rio.
25:14He'll get sick if you keep him in a box.
25:19I'm not giving him up!
25:21You can't make me!
25:22Come back in.
25:23It'll be tea time soon.
25:24Rex won't eat anything.
25:26Maybe he's unhappy.
25:28I think you should let him go, Rio.
25:31Come on, buddy.
25:32He's got to hang out with his snake mates.
25:33Goodbye, Rex.
25:35I'll never forget you.
25:37My scaly little friend.
25:40Go on.
25:50Bye.
26:04Are you all right, Rio?
26:06I'm sure Rex will be okay.
26:09You can have my cake tonight if you like.
26:11Course.
26:12I'm all right.
26:13What sort of wimp do you think I am?
26:14Where's Marco?
26:15Marco!
26:17Supper's ready!
26:20I was just checking all my stick insects were gone.
26:22I set them free.
26:24Because you said it was cruel to keep animals in a box.
26:27Do you think I'll skip supper tonight?
26:29Yeah, me too.
26:32I'll have yours then.
26:34I can make my world come true
26:56All my dreams you see me through
26:58And the set won't get me down
27:00My dreams will turn things all around
27:02With a smile upon my face
27:05I can see a better place
27:07Doesn't matter what may come my way
27:09No, no, no
27:09Believe me now
27:11I'll win someday
