00:00Now, our next guest today is a young local author who spent her childhood in care, bouncing between foster families
00:07and care homes, but she's about to tell the tale, and it's all in your to viability.
00:13Harry? Harry? I was watching that. Mike? He keeps doing it, Mike.
00:25No talking, I'm practicing. I have to talk. Harry's broken the telly, isn't it?
00:30No talking here. He said I was playing there. We said best of three.
00:35Harry, come here, let's do it. Let me know when you get a picture.
00:38Give us the ball back. Give her back. No.
00:41Where are you? Come on.
00:43Jay, stop it. Go back here. Watch out.
00:45It must have been very hard. Harry, I told you it's dangerous behind here.
00:48No, there's a lot of a game. But you can't let me that.
00:51That's it. Still there.
00:53You've got to move on, right?
00:54Oi, you.
00:55I told you it's playing with the television.
00:58Who cares, Tracy Beaker?
01:00Thanks.
01:05That's right. It was pretty crazy.
01:08Come here, come here, come here, everybody. Look at this. Look.
01:11Why? Who is she?
01:12It's Tracy Beaker.
01:13Oh, I still live with her.
01:15She used to live here.
01:16Is she an actress?
01:17No, no, she's written a book.
01:19I know someone famous.
01:21What are you excited about?
01:22Tracy, she's written a book.
01:25She's written a book.
01:26Who cares?
01:27Tracy Beaker.
01:30I published it myself.
01:31Who cares?
01:32I've got 2,000 copies right here.
01:34Can I drop one in for you to read?
01:37How many do you think you want once you've read it?
01:39Yeah?
01:40I'm on TV right now.
01:41It's a fascinating and extraordinary live story so far.
01:44If you like it.
01:46Hang on.
01:47Sorry.
01:48Power of TV.
01:49Everybody wants me today.
01:51Okay, I'll put you down for ten.
01:52Thanks.
01:53Bye.
01:53Coming.
01:57Tracy Beaker.
01:58That's what it says on the cover.
02:01You're under arrest.
02:02You're under arrest.
02:31Did you pay Author Power Publishing to print 2,000 copies of your book
02:35using Camilla Lawson's credit card without her permission?
02:38Oh, well, yeah, but she's my mum.
02:42Using someone's credit card without their permission is an offence.
02:46Cam will be OK about it.
02:48Look, that's her.
02:50Listen, to Cam, thanks for a great life.
02:54Just call her, she'll tell you it's OK.
02:56I don't think so.
02:58She told the credit card company that you took the money.
03:07I don't know.
03:19They've seen us, thanks.
03:20Frank?
03:22Have you seen Liam today?
03:24No, why?
03:25Nothing's happened to him, Toby.
03:27I've just got his foster parents on the phone, that's all.
03:29Yeah, I don't know.
03:30No, no, no, no.
03:31He's just a bit late on for his tea.
03:33He's probably running home right now.
03:37Come here!
03:56Hey!
03:57I need this money because I've hit none.
04:01I've fought the law and the law.
04:03I've won.
04:05I've fought the law and the law.
04:07I've won.
04:13Hey, who are you?
04:14Where is everyone?
04:14You a supervisor?
04:16I had to get the phone.
04:17Aww, they need to tidy this lot up.
04:20Look.
04:21I know.
04:22Tea!
04:23Tea?
04:24Tea?
04:25Kill my father.
04:26You two, kitchen, now.
04:29Lily.
04:30Someone starts with his purple bracelet.
04:33Guys, the kitchen's a mess.
04:35Hey, the poppy, this is mine.
04:37No, no, girls, why don't you just try and share it?
04:39No, we should not, you're a guy.
04:41Oh, you're over here first.
04:43You've got boys, I want you in the kitchen, now.
04:47Girls, you've got this.
04:48I'm starting.
04:50Oh, no.
04:51This one's a cripple, the kitchen.
04:53Oh, I'm careful.
04:56Watch out, watch out, the sun is going to get hurt.
04:59I told you.
05:03You are not going anywhere under the kitchen.
05:09I'm serious.
05:12Weapons down.
05:14Oh, I'm so far.
05:16Kitchen.
05:20What does it cost?
05:22The kitchen's in the big mess.
05:24Wait, it's in the house.
05:27Mike, we need more stuff.
05:30Pep, die.
05:31Yes.
05:34And I should charge you for wasting my time,
05:36because that's what this is, a waste of time.
05:39Kid pulled a service wash scam down the laundrette,
05:42charged a fiver for it.
05:43I did his washing, didn't I?
05:44Yeah, and you turned all his clothes pink.
05:47There's a criminal right there, not me.
05:51Name.
05:55That's the first time he's shut up since I nicked him, Sarge.
05:59Park him over there.
06:01No chance to think.
06:06Busy, busy, busy.
06:14Busy.
06:25Undercover agent protecting your identity.
06:29Time traveller and don't want to ruin your future.
06:33All messed up kid, worried about what his parents were saying.
06:36If I told you I was an undercover agent, I'd have to kill you.
06:41Understood.
06:42So let's go with messed up kid and foster parents.
06:45Ouch.
06:46Don't get me started.
06:48You too?
06:49I'm kind of here because I wrote a book about it.
06:51They arrested you because you wrote a book.
06:53How bad was your book?
06:55It cost you $6.99 to find out.
07:07You might as well tell them your name.
07:09They're going to find out sooner or later.
07:11It would be better if it comes from you.
07:14Yeah.
07:15I was just trying to buy some time.
07:19Leave my way.
07:21Tracy.
07:25You know what?
07:27Because you're a fun guy, I'm going to decide to tell you my name.
07:32Beaker, come with me.
07:34Stop you fooling around.
07:38Tie you straight and ride out.
07:43Better think of your future.
07:46Else you find out.
07:48Yeah.
07:49Oh.
08:14I have no money.
08:17Someone has taken all my money.
08:20Look, my credit card doesn't work.
08:23I've already missed one flight.
08:24I just need to get to the airport.
08:26Oh, excuse me.
08:27I'm sorry.
08:27Please.
08:28I really can't help you.
08:29I'm going to have to serve the next guest now.
08:30I've got $9.23.
08:36Please, if you can just let me have $3 for the bus, you'll never see me again.
08:40No.
08:40No, I'm...
08:41No.
08:42Wait.
08:43Wait.
08:44Can I help you?
08:45Yes.
08:45Yes.
08:46Yes, it is.
08:49Arrested?
08:50Already?
08:51We tend to arrest criminals, Miss Lawson.
08:54But I only spoke to the credit card company a couple of hours ago.
08:57Look, I just wanted to teach Tracy a lesson.
09:01In a cell?
09:03Yes, I know, but...
09:05If someone stole £6,000 from you, they deserve to be locked up.
09:09Tracy's not a thief.
09:14Actually...
09:15Yes.
09:16Um...
09:17Yeah, now I do remember, actually.
09:19Yeah.
09:19I do think...
09:20I did say she could use my credit card.
09:23Oh, really?
09:24Even though you'll have to repay the £6,000 debt?
09:27Yes.
09:28No.
09:29Oh, I don't know.
09:31Yes.
09:33Miss Lawson.
09:36I have a suggestion.
09:50I've spoken to your mother.
09:52Subject to a couple of conditions, she's dropping the charges.
09:55Oh, I knew Cam would see sense.
09:58First condition.
10:00You're paying Miss Lawson back.
10:02I was always going to repay Cam.
10:04I just need to sell...
10:06Second condition.
10:08You help with the local paper that I'm involved with.
10:11I'm a bit old to be a paper girl.
10:13I need someone to write a weekly column for young people.
10:17As you've been able to write this, you will do.
10:20Call it community service.
10:23I can do that.
10:24Five hundred words, by close of play, delivered every Wednesday.
10:28Fail to meet either condition, you could be prosecuted for fraud.
10:33Do I make myself clear?
10:40Mia.
10:42How many times do I have to pick you up from places like this?
10:45I don't know.
10:46If there's a limit, tell me because I'll have to arrange for someone else.
10:48I don't think it's funny that you've been arrested.
10:51Who's foster parents will be getting a compensation notice to pay the man for his clothes?
10:56Come on, Lillian.
10:57Time to face the music.
10:59Your social worker will meet us there.
11:03Tracy!
11:04Hiya!
11:05We saw you on television this afternoon.
11:08Well done on the book.
11:09Aw, thanks, Mike.
11:11Aw, it's been ages.
11:12How's Cam and Gary?
11:13Cam's fine.
11:14We don't talk about Gary.
11:17Oh.
11:18Sorry.
11:20So good to see you.
11:21See you, Liam?
11:22Hmm?
11:23If you want to get on in life,
11:25maybe we could have a little less
11:26Artful Dodger and a bit more Tracy Beaker.
11:29I'm like Tracy.
11:30We both got nicked.
11:35You've published your own book
11:37with Cam's money.
11:40Tracy, how can't you?
11:42Cam's a writer.
11:43She'll understand.
11:44I'll pay her back to the book sale.
11:46Tracy.
11:47So, Mike,
11:48I think I'd better stick with the Artful Dodger thing for now,
11:50what do you reckon?
11:54No.
11:59And so,
12:00Princess Lily,
12:01Princess Rosie,
12:02Princess Poppy
12:02went out into the old wood
12:04and used their magic
12:05to turn into fighting tigers.
12:07Suddenly,
12:08a fairy appeared
12:09in front of them.
12:09A little bit more minutes, Lily, yeah?
12:11I know.
12:13Right.
12:15Here you go.
12:16Good night, girlies.
12:19And so,
12:20they all went out
12:21hunting for Gina,
12:22the smelly old witch.
12:39You have
12:40seven
12:41new messages.
12:44Message one.
12:45How dare you use my credit card?
12:49Is that why you've turned your phone off?
12:50I just had to ask the editor
12:52to cover my hotel bill.
12:55Have you any idea
12:56how humiliating that was?
12:59You'd better have a rock-solid explanation, lady.
13:02Message two.
13:03I can't believe you stole my money
13:06to print your book.
13:07Message three.
13:09Tracy,
13:10can you just pick up the phone?
13:11I'm trying your mobile.
13:13Your mobile's not on.
13:14You need to ring me
13:15as soon as you get this, okay?
13:17Message four.
13:19Where are you?
13:20I'm so mad at you,
13:22I feel like screaming.
13:23You'd better ring me back, Tracy,
13:25or I don't know what I'll do
13:27when I get hold of you.
13:28Message five.
13:30I've asked you
13:30repeatedly
13:31to ring me back.
13:33Even for you, Tracy.
13:35This is outrageous!
13:37Message six.
13:39Tracy,
13:39I just spoke to a policeman.
13:42I didn't know you'd been arrested.
13:44We'll talk it through tomorrow, okay?
13:50Okay?
13:52Okay.
13:54Okay.
13:56Okay.
14:13I don't know you'd been arrested.
14:13I don't know you'd been arrested.
14:14I don't know you'd been arrested.
14:14I don't know you'd been arrested.
14:15I don't know you'd been arrested.
14:16I don't know you'd been arrested.
14:16I don't know you'd been arrested.
14:16I don't know you'd been arrested.
14:18I don't know you'd been arrested.
14:18I don't know you'd been arrested.
14:19I don't know you'd been arrested.
14:21I don't know you'd been arrested.
14:50Sapphire, you have just earned yourself a sanction.
14:55Mm-hmm. When Mike gets back, we will discuss what it's gonna be.
14:59No, no, but I was on trust time.
15:01Not this late, you weren't.
15:02No, Mike said I could.
15:04Oh.
15:05Are you calling me a liar?
15:06If you like.
15:07Well, you know, it's not a prison.
15:09Oh, well, that's a shame, you know, because then I wouldn't know exactly where you were at all times.
15:15What were you doing?
15:16Nothing.
15:18Where were you?
15:19Nowhere.
15:20Who were you with?
15:21No one.
15:21Oh, well, that sounds like fun, hm?
15:25I hope it was worth the sanction.
15:28Go on.
15:29Go on, get dry.
15:33Who is it?
15:34I'm a friend of Mike's.
15:37Hola.
15:37Bye-bye.
15:42I'm sorry, he's not in.
15:44Do you wanna leave a message?
15:45I, um, I was hoping to see him.
15:48I used to live here.
15:50Right, well, I don't know when he's gonna be back.
15:51Maybe you should, you know, pop back in half an hour or something like that, yeah?
15:58What?
15:58Wait.
16:02Why don't you come away to me, yeah?
16:05Where it's warm.
16:07Hmm.
16:12I'll get you a towel, yeah?
16:23What's going on?
16:25I hear that girl every day.
16:27No way.
16:32Here you go.
16:34Come on.
16:37So, how long were you here, then?
16:39Hey, look, is it going for Jenny?
16:48Oh, you're the writer. Sorry, what do you say?
16:52You lot meant to be in bed.
16:54We were, but then we heard she was here.
16:58I told them.
16:59If I buy your book, can you sign it for me?
17:02It might be a little bit pricey for your comments,
17:04or I'll bet when I get a chance and then you can borrow it, yeah?
17:12Oh, thank you, Tracy.
17:15Normally it's £6.99, but you can have it for six.
17:20That's generous.
17:22I wish I could have one, but I can't afford it.
17:26Stop begging, Carmen. I wasn't.
17:29It's OK. I'm really sorry, I just can't give them away.
17:32That's OK. I'll borrow Gina's.
17:35Right. Come on, you lot. Back to bed. Come on.
17:38No, I haven't heard a chance.
17:39But we haven't heard about being on TV yet.
17:42Right. First one back to bed gets to ask me about being on the telly.
17:46Wait for me!
17:48How are you supposed to go away?
17:49It's not.
17:50It's here.
17:53Come and say goodnight to all of you.
17:57Get out of my way.
17:59Stop.
18:02Peter.
18:08What's going on?
18:09Sorry.
18:10My fault.
18:12You on telly?
18:14Yeah.
18:17That's how I suffer, yeah?
18:21They hid it behind a big old oak tree.
18:24And the troll leapt out from behind the tree,
18:26his warty nose wobbling in the moonlight.
18:30The three princesses screamed and ran for their lives.
18:33Is she making the sun?
18:35Mm-hmm.
18:35Suddenly one every night.
18:37Girls won't go to sleep now.
18:39They'll be in there.
18:40I'm trying to break the habit.
18:43Lily.
18:44They're not asleep yet?
18:46I know, but they soon will be.
18:48So kiss your sisters goodnight, yeah?
18:55Goodnight, Poppy.
18:56Goodnight, Rosie.
18:57Goodnight, girls.
18:57Come on.
19:00Goodnight, Lily.
19:09Tracy.
19:10What are you doing here?
19:11Well, she's been helping me put the kids to bed.
19:13It was like she wave a magic wand and poof.
19:15There we go.
19:16Sorry.
19:17It took forever to calm down Liam's foster parents.
19:20How's he?
19:21He's fine, Frank.
19:23Now go back to bed.
19:28So, I guess it didn't go so well with Cam then.
19:30Did she chuck you out?
19:31Left before she could.
19:33She's on her way back from New York.
19:35Well, you're gonna have to face her sooner later.
19:38Sorry, what's happened?
19:40Tracy used her mum's credit card to publish her book.
19:44I ran it to her down at the police station.
19:47I'm gonna pay her back.
19:49The charges were dropped.
19:51Oh, and that makes it okay, that does it, huh?
19:54Gina.
19:55Tracy made a mistake.
19:57I can't believe I let you help me put the kids to bed.
20:12Would you like to stay here tonight?
20:14I don't think that would go down very well.
20:17Don't worry about Gina.
20:20Michael.
20:25Well, I guess you know where everything is.
20:26See you in the morning.
20:50Hey, I'm going to slow down.
20:58Ah!
21:00I don't know.
21:30I don't know.
22:05I don't know.
22:06Sapphire, right?
22:07Mm-hmm.
22:13What are you doing?
22:16Minding my own business.
22:20Looks good.
22:22You hoping to go to art college?
22:24You must be nearly 16, right?
22:28You're a little bit to go.
22:29Then I'm out of here.
22:31I was desperate to leave, too.
22:32It worked out all right for you.
22:34You're, like, some kind of celebrity.
22:38What are you doing back here?
22:39Once I'm gone, I'm never coming back.
22:42Yep, I said that.
22:44But, you know, times like this is actually quite nice to be here.
22:50Are you a total brain donor or what?
23:06Hello, TV girl.
23:08Hello, notebook boy.
23:11It was my idea.
23:13You'll spill it.
23:13I'll take it.
23:14What's going on?
23:15Can't decide who's taking Tracy's tea up.
23:17Oh, all right.
23:18Why don't you all take it up?
23:19All right.
23:20But I'm holding it.
23:21Good.
23:28Stop pushing on spill it.
23:32Tracy's gone and she never even said goodbye.
23:34Maybe she's in the bathroom.
23:35She's not.
23:36We've looked everywhere.
23:37Oh, well, never mind.
23:39You know how busy these altars are.
23:42You never know what they're going to be going to look to next.
23:58I thought I'd find you here.
24:02Here you go, lovely.
24:04Trying to work out what to do.
24:07When does Cam get back?
24:09Dunno.
24:10Now, I guess.
24:12I need something to prove I'm going to pay her back.
24:15Well, you've always got that six quid you took off Gina for the book.
24:19She's really happy about that, by the way.
24:25Mike, I know I've got any qualifications, but I need a job.
24:30Yeah.
24:35We need someone, Gina.
24:36You said yourself she was great with the kids.
24:38Mike, she was arrested yesterday.
24:41It was a mistake.
24:42They dropped the charges.
24:43And I think she'd be really good at the job.
24:45Really?
24:46Well, we need a care assistant, not another kid.
24:49She grew up here.
24:51She gets what's going on.
24:52Oh, and we don't.
24:54Neither have you noticed what's going on with Lily.
24:56She's the one that can't sleep on her own, not her sisters.
24:59Do you know what?
25:00I think Tracey might be right.
25:02I am right.
25:04Rosie and Poppy aren't the only ones Lily's been telling stories to yet.
25:12Did you come to see Mike?
25:13Is that why you stood for now?
25:15Kind of.
25:16I wouldn't stay here if I lived in a big posh house.
25:19I haven't got a big posh house.
25:25I didn't get paid for that.
25:27I still need a job just like everyone else.
25:29Why would you need a job if you're such a famous writer?
25:33Yeah, about that.
25:41Tracey!
25:47Tracey!
25:48Tracey!
25:48Tracey!
25:52Tracey!
26:53Too right you are.
26:56And here's your first instalment.
26:58I got a job.
27:01Where?
27:02Where you first found me.
27:06No.
27:08I am going back to the dumping ground.
27:21Bye.
27:22Bye.
27:25Bye.
27:28Bye.
27:33Bye.
27:34You
