00:00Oh, you've not finished your column yet?
00:14Oh, Tracy.
00:16Look, the main thing is not to be afraid of the deadline.
00:21Don't watch the clock.
00:24And suddenly, out of nowhere, you'll get that light bulb moment.
00:30It's just a chance to meet up, have a chat, you know, see how you get on.
00:58Tracy, do you remember that social worker telling Toby about Mr and Mrs Scott?
01:03Very nice couple.
01:05Yeah, yeah.
01:06Well, they're coming to meet him tomorrow.
01:07I mean, we'll wait to meet them, but they might want a foster Toby.
01:12Exciting as that.
01:13Fantastic news.
01:17You look like you'd rather get fostered by crocodiles.
01:20Do you remember saying they're really nice?
01:21Yeah, sure.
01:22So, what's the problem?
01:24Problem is, it's bound to go horribly wrong.
01:27Why?
01:28You watch.
01:28From now on, everything I touch will.
01:31No, Toby, think positive.
01:33If you want something to go right, it will.
01:35Nah.
01:36Seriously?
01:36What do you want to happen?
01:37Right now?
01:38Mm-hmm.
01:39Breakfast.
01:40Right.
01:40Well, let's make you the perfect breakfast.
01:42In this place?
01:43Er, think positive.
01:44Now, what's it going to be?
01:46Boil dig.
01:47Proper soft, dipy egg.
01:48But not snotty.
01:51Four minutes twenty.
01:54Jeff is going to eat so badly.
01:56Harry, can you not get milk on Jeff, please?
02:00Four minutes twenty-seven.
02:01I'm on it.
02:03Go.
02:04Eat them toast.
02:05Yes.
02:30Yes.
02:30Yes.
02:31Oh, perfect.
02:52I'll do another one.
02:54What's the point?
02:55I told you, from the tea I was born, I'm jinxed.
03:01So far, this just came.
03:21What is this? Are you joking me?
03:23My dad's got me two tickets for tomorrow night.
03:26How cool is that?
03:28My dad's, like, a roadie, so...
03:31We'll probably even go backstage and meet Dizzy and his crew!
03:34Gina, it's gonna be so wicked!
03:36Two tickets, which are worth, like, loads anyway.
03:39You know I so have to go, yeah?
03:41No.
03:42Why? No way!
03:43You know why?
03:44You are joking me!
03:45Look, let's not go through it again!
03:48I hate you!
03:53What's going on?
03:54You lot!
03:55Stopping me from going to the gig!
03:57It's like being in prison!
03:58Wait!
03:59I'm not stopping you from going anywhere.
04:01Why won't Gina let you go?
04:03Because she doesn't want me to see my dad.
04:05Well, she must have a reason.
04:07I can't help you if you won't tell me what's going on.
04:10I am on your side, Sapphire.
04:18I'm not gonna change my mind, Sapphire.
04:23If I tell you, just be on their side.
04:25Try me.
04:27The last time I went out with my dad, I stayed out quite late.
04:32Because he was packing up the gear and everything.
04:35How late?
04:36Look, it wasn't that bad.
04:38How late?
04:39Call the police late.
04:40And that's why Mac and Gina won't let me see him.
04:43Because you stayed out too late with your dad?
04:45There must be more to it than that, Sapphire.
04:49The thing is, I kind of accidentally got on the tour bus,
04:53just to speak to my dad.
04:55But then I fell asleep.
04:57That could happen to anyone.
04:58Exactly.
04:59Which makes me think there's still more to it.
05:02Well, if you don't trust me, then...
05:11Alright.
05:12A customs man found me.
05:14What?
05:15He was checking for passports and saw me under these coats.
05:20Passports?
05:21Look, I didn't know we'd gone to Amsterdam.
05:23I'd been asleep on the ferry.
05:25The thing is, though, I just wanted to be with my dad so much.
05:36But now, they won't let me see him.
05:42And it's so not fair.
05:47It's okay.
05:54Sapphire told me what happened with her dad.
05:56You've got to let her go and see him.
05:58These kids spend their lives away from the people they love most.
06:02But those people aren't always the best for us.
06:05That doesn't mean we're not allowed to see them.
06:07But her dad, to put it mildly, isn't fit to take care of her without supervision.
06:14Have you seen her yellow file?
06:19Here.
06:20Read that.
06:21In fact, read all of them.
06:27The fact is, we're the ones who care for Sapphire.
06:30Would you let her see her father on her own?
06:39You can see that point, though.
06:41Well, shall I rip these up, then?
06:42No!
06:44Don't do that.
06:46Oh.
06:47You want them?
06:49Yeah.
06:50Well, it's so obvious.
06:52Sapphire, I was trying to help you.
06:55Mind me, you can't stop me.
06:57What?
06:58Well, I'm gonna go, no matter what they say.
07:00And there's nothing you can do about it.
07:02Don't throw it back in my face.
07:03You never said what your dad was like.
07:08Sapphire, don't go.
07:09It's about building up trust with Mike and Gina.
07:11With me.
07:12Well, you don't have to go on.
07:15Look, I'm not going.
07:17Satisfied?
07:22Don't stress about it.
07:24I'm not.
07:25You've got to own the field.
07:27Do you know what I'm saying?
07:29You've got to let them know you're someone spectacular from the start.
07:33Do you want to practise?
07:34And which of your five foster parents did that work best on?
07:38All right, then.
07:41Oh, do you want to play football?
07:42Do you want to play football?
07:43Oh, thanks.
07:44No, honest.
07:47I don't want to play.
07:49I'll just mess it up.
07:50You'll be great.
07:51It's just kicking the ball around.
07:53Right.
07:54You and me versus them.
07:55I'm on one formation.
07:57Go down the right flanks.
07:58Switch to the left.
07:59I'll cross it in.
08:00Head to the top corner, yeah?
08:01Got it.
08:03Oh, just forget it.
08:05I'll mess it up any bit.
08:07The ball will burst or you'll hurt yourself.
08:10Don't be stupid.
08:11Liam can play, so how hard can it be?
08:14T!
08:17Go, T, go!
08:18Ow!
08:19Liam!
08:20Oh!
08:29Woo-hoo-hoo!
08:30Unbelievable!
08:48Bad luck, boy.
08:49Nice title.
09:11You've already sent this off?
09:13Yeah.
09:14You've already sent this off?
09:17Yeah, good, eh?
09:20Toby's the lad at the dumping ground, yeah?
09:23Yeah. Duh, you told me to use things around me for inspiration.
09:27Yeah, but when Toby goes outside, birds stop singing and dogs begin to howl.
09:32I know, funny.
09:35Well, do you think he'll find it funny?
09:37Ugh, so negative.
09:39As if he's even going to read it. None of them do.
09:43And even if he does, he's going to know I'm joking.
09:49What's your bad luck for?
09:51Could have been a black hat.
09:53Shut up.
09:55How do you voodoo?
09:59The curse of the mummy.
10:01The curse of the no mummy.
10:03Toby!
10:13Tracy, because you wrote Toby was bad luck, boy, I found some things out.
10:18Black cats are unlucky but also really lucky.
10:21Did you read my column?
10:23Everyone did.
10:25And that's why you took the mic out of him?
10:27Great.
10:28Well, you wrote it.
10:30I was being ironic.
10:31Funny.
10:32Except that his mum and dad were killed in a car crash.
10:37What?
10:38Which isn't funny, actually.
10:43Didn't you even know that?
10:45It was just mucking around.
10:52We didn't mean it.
10:57It's like, with all our bad luck, especially all of us in here, that's why people are going to try and rip it out of you.
11:07Yeah.
11:12The thing is, by Tracy making him a bad luck boy, she's made Toby famous.
11:19I wouldn't mind if Tracy wrote a book about me.
11:23What do you think?
11:26I think you put too much on.
11:28Anyway, what's the big deal about Toby's parents?
11:31My mum died.
11:32No-one made a big deal about that.
11:34You should tell Tracy she'll make a book about that.
11:36I don't want her to.
11:38My mum died.
11:39She's not coming back.
11:40So here we are, in the story.
11:45You look like a clown.
11:49Can I wash it off?
11:53First do the care work.
11:54Know your kids.
12:02Poor lad.
12:03You can see why he blames himself for the crash.
12:05Yeah.
12:07Oh, then there's this.
12:09The woman who fostered him.
12:11Talk about lightning striking twice.
12:14Unbelievable.
12:17Yeah, a bit of sensitivity is what's called for for our boy Toby.
12:21But the Scots visiting this afternoon.
12:25He's bound to be a little tense.
12:26Tell Mike and Gina I'm not going to see those people.
12:27Why?
12:28Because what you wrote was right.
12:29No, it wasn't.
12:31I didn't know about your mum and dad.
12:32See?
12:33Really, I didn't.
12:34I was trying to be ironic.
12:35Irony means...
12:36I know what it means.
12:37You do?
12:38It means saying one thing but meaning the other.
12:39Yeah.
12:41Yeah.
12:43So, by calling me bad luck boy, you meant I was good.
12:45You know, Mike and Gina, I'm not going to see those people.
12:46Why?
12:47Because what you wrote was right.
12:48No, it wasn't.
12:49I didn't know about your mum and dad.
12:53See?
12:54No, I didn't.
12:55No, I didn't.
12:56No, I didn't.
12:57Really, I didn't.
12:58I was trying to be ironic.
12:59Irony means...
13:00I know what it means.
13:01You do?
13:02It means saying one thing but meaning the other.
13:05Yeah.
13:07So, by calling me bad luck boy, you meant I was good luck boy?
13:13No, I...
13:16I meant you could be good luck boy, if you stopped believing you were bad luck boy.
13:22You see, I think that you're scared that if you like the Scots, then something bad's
13:27going to happen.
13:28But you need to face those fears.
13:31Ah!
13:36Ah!
13:37A giant spider!
13:42Oh, we'll flush it down the plug hole then.
13:47Killing the spider's bad luck.
13:49Oh, don't be such a baby.
13:54It's just a tiny little...
13:55It's okay, it's okay.
13:56I will deal with it.
13:58Get it out!
13:59Just get rid of it!
14:00So hairy.
14:01It's huge as well.
14:02It's probably made a huge web just inside the plug hole.
14:03Ah!
14:04Don't get too close.
14:05It can move really fast.
14:06Ah!
14:07Ah!
14:08Ah!
14:09Ah!
14:10Ah!
14:11Ah!
14:12Ah!
14:13Ah!
14:14Ah!
14:15Ah!
14:16Ah!
14:17Ah!
14:18Ah!
14:19Ah!
14:20Ah!
14:21Ah!
14:22Ah!
14:23Ah!
14:24Ah!
14:25Ah!
14:26Ah!
14:27Ah!
14:28Ah!
14:29Ah!
14:32Ah!
14:33Ah!
14:34Oh!
14:35Ah!
14:36Ah!
14:37Ah!
14:38You can get it if you really won't.
14:40You can get it if you really won't.
14:42Ah!
14:43Ah!
14:44But you must try,
14:45try and try.
14:46Take and get my job.
14:47Yeah.
14:49were you scared no of course she wasn't I no no and you know why because when I
15:08touched it I realized it was all in the mind and it just tickled after that I
15:12wasn't scared anymore Toby wait foster parents Toby doesn't want them see this is our chance the Scots are here
15:29did Toby come in here yes can I ask you something where is he is Toby really bad luck boy
15:42no Toby because in my book it says 13 is an unlucky number luck doesn't make sense Tracy I think all
15:52numbers under 20 are unlucky somewhere where's Toby but how can that be when they're lucky somewhere
15:59else Gus there's no such thing as unlucky numbers or lucky ones so why does everyone believe in them
16:04because the whole world is wrong Toby Toby Toby go away Toby don't do this they're a really nice couple
16:21it's a really good opportunity for something really bad to happen
16:25no Toby what you need to know is there's no such thing as jinxes curses or bad omens that's what you
16:37think it's just something to blame when bad things happen it's not real living with the Scots that could
16:46be well he's probably a bit nervous too hi I'm Johnny and I'm tea oh right no that really is my name
17:13would you like one from a new tin nearly done here I made them late I called them names that's why they
17:29drove off in a tip and that's why they cried no Toby it was Toby listen nothing will ever bring your mum and
17:41dad back but if they could see you now they want me to be happy to give the Scots a chance Toby whatever
17:51happens in life mostly it's up to us not chance or fate or whatever you lose out on the good just
18:00because you're scared of the bad come on I want to show you something
18:07now walking under a ladder is meant to be unlucky yeah well we could walk under this ladder a hundred
18:16times nothing bad it's gonna a pair of idiots
18:29no that was stupidity are you ready to meet the Scots yeah come on
18:52I think our guests have had enough tea yeah yeah why don't you collect the teacups of course very tidy especially me yeah all right Johnny
19:07he's not in the room I'm sure he won't be long in the meantime this just came I thought it might amuse you

19:25this is Toby hello we just had an accident oh that was bad luck no it wasn't it was stupidity
19:38no we were under a ladder and oh that definitely was bad luck then I'll say you don't want to go walking

24:17To avoid the traffic.
24:21Yes, I was just telling you about Tracey, our newest member.
24:28She has an article to Tracey Beaver.
24:30Oh, here he is.
24:32Oh, I've got your little friends without all the pain.
24:35We thought you might like something new to listen to.
24:39We hope you like it because we're not sure what stuff you like.
24:42Thanks. The thing is...
24:44Well, maybe one day we'll get to find out, eh?
24:48The thing is, I've been really nervous about meeting you.
24:53In case it all goes wrong.
24:56Then Tracey said I should go for what I really want.
25:01And all of a sudden, I realised something massive.
25:10I don't want to get fostered.
25:14Come on, Toby.
25:23Not yet.
25:25I thought I sort of had to.
25:27But I don't, do I?
25:29That's what you meant.
25:32It's what you mean.
25:34It's what you want, Toby.
