00:00Good morning everyone. Postcard from Tracy Beaker. I bet you're all desperate to hear
00:27about her holiday with Cam, aren't you? Dear losers, Egypt is great. Cam and I are having
00:38a fantastic time. Wish you were all here. Well, maybe not all of you. See you soon.
00:58Isn't it nice of Tracy to write? The children haven't listened to a word I've said. There
01:07are studies that indicate that watching too much violence on TV can lead to aggressive
01:11behaviour. I'd say they're more comatose than aggressive. Just blink if you're there.
01:20You're right, Elaine. That was a very violent blink. As long as I'm acting head care worker,
01:29I'm going to dedicate myself to helping these children to learn to play again. Did someone
01:40just say something? Come on, lads. Like cement, Mike. Mike, have you just finished breakfast?
01:47It's almost lunchtime. Nobody ate breakfast. When Duke gets back from the Caribbean, you
01:53can all register your complaints, all right? We'll be too weak for malnutrition by then.
01:57Hold on. What's all this? I asked for easy stuff. You know, fish fingers, frozen peas.
02:03It's important that children have balanced meals. Duke's recipes. I'm only supposed to
02:10be helping out here. I never said I could cook. I can do that. It can't be that hard.
02:18Mike, when you pick up a saucepan, grown carrots tremble. Save yourselves!
02:48Right. No more TV today. Oi! Children and I have got more important things to do in
03:06here. Elaine, the house is not going to clean itself. Duke always had the cleaning done
03:10by now. Well, good old Duke. Do I smell burning? Oh, no! Well, what do you think? Is it a TARDIS?
03:22It's a windy house. It's a pretend TV. It's not a TV. Forget about TV. It's a puppet theatre.
03:31Cool. Now, we're going to make puppets and put on a show and tell happy stories now.
03:40Won't that be fun? We're care kids, Elaine. We don't know any happy stories. Nonsense.
03:45This place is full of happy stories. There's Tracy Beaker settling in with Cam, at last,
03:53and Hayley finding the perfect foster parents, and Justine Littlewood and her dad living
03:59happily ever after. Dad! Carrie, I've made us all dinner to celebrate. Can you believe
04:05it's exactly two years today since I left the dummy... Oh, we're going out. Cool, I'll
04:12go and get ready. Sorry, we forgot to tell you. Carrie and I have to go out tonight.
04:18What? Where are you going? Sorry to let you down, Liv. Great. So, chocolate pudding for
04:30one, then. Let's face it. You're no Jamie Oliver, are you?
05:00Oh, shit, we're overload. Dad? Carrie? Are you home?
05:31Why are you so late? Pardon? What does the clock say? Um, tick-tock. It's not funny.
05:46I've been worried sick. And you left me on my own with a baby all night. It's only eleven.
05:52And we had some important things to talk about. Yeah, well, you could have at least called.
05:58I'm sorry, sweetheart. I'll make it up to you.
06:10You need to tell her.
06:18I'm not putting my hands in that. You have to. We've got to finish our puppets so that
06:22we can tell our stories this afternoon. It's boring. It's fun. We can make puppets of everyone
06:27here. Hi, I'm Mike. Top of the morning to you, me old Colleen.
06:33Shall I make a puppet of Marco? That's the idea.
06:39Roxy? What, you said she could make a puppet of him?
06:43Marco!
06:48Right, no, that is enough. Stop it! Find my puppet! Find my puppet!
06:55Right, now. Come on, chop-chop. Hurry up and get yourselves cleaned up and then we can start making those puppets.
07:00We don't want to make stupid puppets. You can't force us. Well, there'll be no telling until you do.
07:06Ahem. May I present Cookies a la Mike.
07:15Mmm, these are nice. They are?
07:20Yes, they are. Come on, everyone, let's eat these downstairs.
07:26Who's the chef? I'm the chef. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
07:35Put these in the kitchen, love. I need to change his nappy.
07:47Sorry to let you down, love. I'll make it up to you.
07:51Sorry to let you down, love. I'll make it up to you.
08:07Stella.
08:10Trixie.
08:13Maybe Maisie.
08:14Maybe Maisie.
08:19Tinkerbell. Perfect.
08:24Tinkerbell! You're more of a tinker. Oh, well, you'll do.
08:29Justine. Oh, thanks, Dad. This is the best surprise ever. I've always wanted a dog.
08:34Oi, get off him. He's mine, not yours. His name's Bruce and he doesn't like girls.
08:38And who are you exactly? Justine, this is your cousin John. He's come to live with us.
08:47We finished our puppets, Elaine. Well done, everyone. Now can we have our TV back?
08:51I said forget about TV. This is very exciting.
08:56Who's first?
08:58Hi, I'm Crash. We're all doomed.
09:02Chantal, isn't that a biscuit?
09:05It's durable and unbreakable and it doesn't make a mess.
09:08Oh, very inventive.
09:10Hi, I'm Justine Little Red.
09:13And I'm Justine's dad.
09:15Hi, I'm Tracy Beaker.
09:18Excellent. I think we need to make them a little bit more lifelike.
09:22What? Do you mean like mine?
09:24Who did you make, Roxy?
09:26Hi, I'm Elaine.
09:31But why does he have to live with us?
09:33Well, he's been having a tough time recently.
09:37I couldn't just turn him away, could I?
09:40I suppose not.
09:42I knew you'd understand.
09:44Come on, come and say hello. And afterwards I'll help you move your stuff if you like.
09:49Move what stuff where?
09:51Move your stuff into Billy's room.
09:53What? Why?
09:55I can't ask John to sleep on the couch, can I?
09:58Why can't he sleep in Billy's room?
09:59I don't want his dog in with Billy. It wouldn't be good for him.
10:03Well, that's just great. As long as Billy, John and his manky dog are happy, that's fine.
10:08As usual, don't worry about Justine. She'd just get shoved to the bottom of the pile again.
10:30Where are you going?
10:32Back to the dumping ground.
10:34Justine, I really don't want you to go.
10:36Well, then tell him he can't stay here.
10:38What's going on?
10:40Tell him it's unfair for dog breath to trap me out of my room.
10:43Justine, it's your dad's decision.
10:45Great. So no one cares about me any more?
10:47Justine, listen to me.
10:49I made a real mess of my life when your mother...
10:52I know.
10:54I know.
10:56I made a real mess of my life when your mother...
11:00And you ended up in care because of it.
11:04You can't let the kid down. He's family.
11:06So am I.
11:11So what's it going to be then? Me or him?
11:14Justine, please don't do this.
11:15Justine, please don't do this.
11:24Hello?
11:26It's Justine. I'm coming back.
11:28What do you mean you're coming back?
11:30Justine! Justine!
11:37I love my job.
11:39Not really.
11:41All this and Justine Littlewood.
11:42Justine Littlewood.
11:44Welcome everybody to Elm Tree House.
11:47Elaine, for the last time, will you stop fussing about these poppers?
11:50The show's about to start.
11:52This is the tale of Justine Littlewood.
11:54Oi! Get my biscuits!
11:57I'm Justine Littlewood and I hate Tracy Beaker.
12:00I'm Tracy Beaker so you can bug off.
12:03No violence.
12:05I hate jumping around. I just want to go home.
12:07Hi, I'm Steve, Justine's dad. Are you ready to come home with me?
12:10Yes, please.
12:12And they all lived happily ever after.
12:15The end.
12:17Now can we watch TV?
12:19Oh, wonderful. I just love happy endings.
12:23Justine, there's something you need to know.
12:26Save it, Mike. I've heard it all before.
12:32Just tell me where my room is.
12:34Upstairs, second on the left.
12:41You must be Justine.
12:43My name's Rebecca Chalmers.
12:45Not Becky or Bex.
12:47Not Rebs or Reby.
12:49Rebecca.
12:51What?
12:53I think you should know I'm not happy about sharing my room with you.
12:56But as long as you're tidy and don't snore,
12:59I'm prepared to try and put up with you.
13:10Oh, no!
13:26If only Tracy were here to see this.
13:29Who needs Beaker?
13:31Justine Littlewood's back.
13:36Whoa, whoa, whoa! We're not done yet. Stay tuned.
13:41Whoa!
13:47You've got my perfume on. I can smell it.
13:50Take a chill pill, Justine.
13:52I only use, like, three tiny little drops.
13:54My dad bought me that for special occasions.
13:57Yeah. I'm sure your diary's jam-packed.
14:00What are you doing this week?
14:02Two at Buckingham Palace?
14:04Or is it ice and a slice with Peter and Jordan?
14:06Just keep your hands off my stuff, all right, Bex?
14:08I told you, it's Rebecca.
14:10If you met David Beckham, you'd be Bex and Bex.
14:12Yeah, well, if I ever did meet David Beckham, I wouldn't wear that.
14:15Now I know why they call it toilet water.
14:17Right, time for some rules.
14:26My side, my door. Your side, your door.
14:29Do not cross this line.
14:31What?
14:41Hi, Wolfie.
14:43Great. You ready?
14:45I made three types of sandwiches.
14:47Ham and pickle, cheese and pickle, and chicken with a slight hint of pickle.
14:55Don't tell me you don't like pickle.
14:58Boucher just called, yeah.
15:00I'm sorry.
15:02I'm sorry.
15:04I'm sorry.
15:06I'm sorry.
15:08I'm sorry.
15:10He wants me to go and meet him.
15:12What, now?
15:14Look, I would have told him I was busy, but I haven't seen him since he went to the halfway house.
15:18It's all right. I understand.
15:20You still going fishing?
15:22Yeah, I need to get out of here for a while.
15:40Dinner is served.
15:45What is it?
15:47I swear I just saw something move in there.
15:49It's mystery stew.
15:51What's in it?
15:53Well, that's the mystery.
15:55I think it looks...
15:57...interesting.
15:59OK, OK, I get the message. I'll go order some pizza.
16:03Order some coconuts while you're at it.
16:05Watch it.
16:07Now, listen, everybody.
16:09Lol's just come back from seeing Boucher.
16:11And he might be a bit ups...
16:15So, try not to mention it.
16:18Just act normal.
16:28Hello, Lol.
16:30Did you notice how warm it was this morning?
16:33Yeah, it wasn't bad.
16:34And then it got colder.
16:36And then it got warmer again.
16:38Thank you, Michael Fish.
16:41Hi, Lol. How to Boucher?
16:44She's doing great, Leila.
16:46Thanks for asking.
16:49Look, she's doing really well on her own.
16:52She's doing better than I thought she would.
16:54Right, who's got my Maroon 5 CD?
16:57It's gone missing.
16:59Well?
17:01Can I come in?
17:02You're going to whatever I say.
17:08You wanted dinner?
17:10You didn't need to hide.
17:12I ordered pizza.
17:14I had a big lunch.
17:16Twelve sandwiches with pickling.
17:18Takes some getting through.
17:20Hmm.
17:22Why don't you come downstairs to the lounge?
17:24Everyone's watching TV.
17:26I don't want to.
17:28Come on, Wolfie.
17:29You have to try and fit in.
17:31I've been trying to fit in,
17:33but people around here have better things to do
17:35than hang out with me.
17:37I'm sure that's not true.
17:39What do you know?
17:41I hate this place.
17:43It makes you feel trapped.
17:45I'm coming!
17:47It's all right, it's me.
17:50Emayne!
17:52What happened?
17:54There was someone in my room.
17:56They took my favourite photo.
17:58What?
18:00I don't know.
18:02I don't know.
18:04I don't know.
18:06I don't know.
18:08I don't know.
18:10I don't know.
18:12I don't know.
18:14Well, somebody's obviously mucking around.
18:16Don't worry, Layla.
18:18I'll get to the bottom of this.
18:45I'm not even going to ask.
18:48Oi, what have you come as today, Marco?
18:50I've run out of space to keep all my costumes.
18:52Don't know where to put them.
18:54Here's an idea, freak boy.
18:56Check them all out and join the human race.
18:59That's funny.
19:01The flying pan's not there.
19:03And, um,
19:05what's happened to all the aprons?
19:07Someone's taken my lucky rugby socks.
19:09A sailbeast finds follow the pong.
19:11Oi, come on, guys.
19:12What's going on here, huh?
19:14You've got a mystery thief.
19:16And I've got a very clear idea of what he looks like.
19:32OK.
19:34Right.
19:36Enough's enough.
19:38Now somebody's taken Layla's Marie Antoinette doll
19:40with the detachable head.
19:42How do you know one of us did it?
19:44Because no burglar is going to break in
19:47and steal a frying pan and a plastic doll.
19:50Right. Who's got my silver locket?
19:52It was a present for my dad.
19:54This just got serious.
19:58Well?
20:01Does anyone have anything to say?
20:04Huh?
20:07Fine.
20:09If these items are not returned
20:12then we're going to have to call the police.
20:43Rebecca.
20:45That scheming little witch.
20:49Layla. Bouncers on the phone.
20:51Excellent.
20:55Hey, Wolfie.
20:57How are you doing?
20:59Look, just stop bugging me, will you?
21:03I'm not bugging you.
21:05I'm not bugging you.
21:07I'm not bugging you.
21:09I'm not bugging you.
21:10I'm not bugging you.
21:29Oh, Elaine.
21:31I'm with Rebecca. What a surprise.
21:33Justine, I hope you don't mind,
21:35but with all this stuff going missing
21:37we're searching everybody's rooms
21:38and there's nothing in here.
21:40She's so community-minded, isn't she?
21:42You don't mind then?
21:44Why should I?
21:49Nothing in here.
21:51What?
21:53There has to be.
21:55Rebecca's turn now.
21:59No.
22:01Nothing in here either.
22:05Oops.
22:06Sorry.
22:08Rebecca.
22:10I knew you had behavioural problems
22:12but I didn't have you down as a thief.
22:14This is a stitch-up.
22:16It's obvious that Justine planted this.
22:18Why?
22:20Because I put the stuff in...
22:22Honestly, you two.
22:24When are you going to grow up and learn to get along?
22:26I want to see both of you in my office first thing.
22:28Now, where's the rest of the stuff?
22:30Mike's apron?
22:32Rio's CD? Layla's photo?
22:34I don't know.
22:37I was aware of.
22:39Honest.
22:41Great.
22:43So we've still got a thief at large.
23:07What are you doing?
23:09Lol.
23:11Lol.
23:13Lol.
23:32Gotcha!
23:34Gotcha!
23:36I was sleepwalking.
23:38Go get Mike.
23:47Lol.
23:49Lol.
24:04Yay!
24:06My favourite picture of Bounce and me.
24:09Sorry, everyone.
24:11Don't worry.
24:13I suppose you can't help being bonkers.
24:15Thanks.
24:17That makes me feel so much better.
24:19But why take all this stuff?
24:21I don't know.
24:23It's not like I'd want any of it.
24:25Yeah, and they're all Bounce's favourites.
24:27Marco!
24:29That's it!
24:31You're a genius!
24:33I am.
24:35Lol, you've obviously been missing Bouncer,
24:37so you've subconsciously filled your room
24:39with all of Bouncer's favourite stuff.
24:41So Rio's right.
24:43I am bonkers.
24:45No, no, it's a natural reaction.
24:47You just need some time to adjust.
24:49Right, everybody, bed, now.
24:51Come on, sleepyhead.
24:55See you then.
25:03Just get the life out of me.
25:05What are you doing? You can't run away.
25:07Why not? No one will miss me.
25:09I will.
25:11Look,
25:13I'm obviously not handling this as well as I thought.
25:15I need a mate to look out for me.
25:17A mate?
25:19Yeah, you.
25:21A mate.
25:23No one's ever called me that before.
25:25I'm more of a fool then.
25:27So what do you reckon?
25:29Do you fancy sharing a room with me?
25:31Well, I suppose I'll have to.
25:33See you tonight.
25:35Mate.
25:37Nice one.
25:46So Wolfie's moving in with Lol?
25:48Yeah, and the news that there's a spare room up for grabs is out.
25:51So I expect we'll have a couple of visitors
25:54any second now.
25:59After you, Rebecca.
26:01No, you first, I insist.
26:03We heard that Wolfie's moving out of his room
26:06and I was wondering if it would be possible if Rebecca
26:08could move her stuff out now.
26:10Or should I ask Justine to move her stuff out now?
26:13No, your stuff.
26:15No, your stuff.
26:17Nobody's moving any stuff.
26:19What?
26:21Neither of you are getting the single room
26:23after the way you've acted.
26:25You don't deserve it.
26:27That is so unfair.
26:29Well, if I'm not getting it, who is?
26:34This room's brilliant.
26:36I've got plenty of space to put all my costumes.
26:38Thanks, Elaine. Thanks, Mike.
26:40You're more than welcome, Michael.
26:42This is your fault, you loser.
26:44No, you're the loser.
26:46What did you just say to me?
26:48You heard loser.
26:50I'm not a loser.
26:52Yes, you are, Becca.
26:54It's Rebecca.
26:56Whatever.
27:04No!
27:12No!
