00:00I'm Tracey Beaker. Welcome to my first Youthside View column.
00:04Writing's my proper job, but I'm an ex-care kid who's done a right for herself.
00:08So I help out a bit at the dumping ground where I grew up.
00:15Everyone's been having such a laugh since I arrived.
00:18I'm a role model for the kids.
00:20What are you doing?
00:21Trying to move the bed.
00:23Yeah, well, I'm not very helpful.
00:24Because they know I've been where they are now, and I'm there for them.
00:30They rely on me for advice.
00:33I'm someone to lean on.
00:39What are you doing?
00:45You were supposed to wait until Tracey have to move room.
00:49She did wait, but Tracey never turned up.
00:52She never does anything she's supposed to.
01:14You're going to be late again.
01:15It's my first column.
01:17I need it to be great.
01:18But what you need is to not get fired so you can pay me back the money you owe me.
01:23I got the job, didn't I?
01:24Yes, and now you're going to lose it.
01:27Fine.
01:29Nearer Lily's bed?
01:30No, by the window.
01:32Perfect.
01:33Blocks the cupboard a bit there.
01:35Maybe we can move the cupboard?
01:39Make up your mind, please.
01:41By the window.
01:42By the bed.
01:42By the wall.
01:50Sharon's going to be amazing.
01:52Hey.
01:53Oh, is Tracey here then?
01:55No.
01:57Lily sees her packed up.
01:58Let's hope she sleeps better now she's Sharon.
02:01If Carmen stops yakking long enough to let her, that was a good idea, Tracey's.
02:04Well, when she shows up for work, I will be sure to thank her.
02:08TV Girls' tour was supposed to start after my piano practice at 9.40.
02:14It's 9.57.
02:16She'll be here soon, Gus.
02:17Yesterday soon was 26 minutes late, and you said it was too late for her to do my tour.
02:23Well, I'm sure she won't be too late today.
02:25Soon.
02:26So how long is today soon?
02:29Yes, Mike.
02:30How long is it?
02:33OK, I'll go and ring her.
02:58Tracey.
02:59Oh, sorry.
03:00Hi, Rob.
03:03Just had social services on the phone.
03:06Liam's coming back.
03:07Brilliant.
03:08He's not been arrested again, has he?
03:10No, something about a minor explosion, apparently.
03:13No, no, no, no, no, no.
03:13No one's been hurt.
03:15Right.
03:16Well, there's still no Tracey, so I guess I better make up his room.
03:26What time do you call this?
03:28Tracey, you're over an hour late.
03:29Yes, I know.
03:30I'm really sorry.
03:31I was working on my column.
03:32It's the first one.
03:33It's kind of a big deal.
03:34So is this job.
03:35What an honour.
03:37Now, take that.
03:39Sort out Carmen's whole room.
03:41Oh, Liam's coming back.
03:43How come?
03:44He didn't work out with his foster family.
03:45I thought you convinced him to give him another chance.
03:48So did I.
03:51Tracey, the tour starts upstairs.
03:53Oh, Gus, can we do this later?
03:54I'm busy now.
03:56No.
03:56You promised me you'd do my tour, and I can't do anything till I cross the tour off my list.
04:01I can't cross the tour off my list till you've done it.
04:08This is tea's room.
04:10Tea the girl is spelt with two E's, but tea the drink is spelt with an E and an A.
04:15Hiya.
04:18Oh, I was going to do that with you.
04:20Yeah, yesterday.
04:22Tea, I'm so sorry.
04:23No talking on the tour.
04:24You'll hold us up and we're late already.
04:28This is Harry's room.
04:30Harry has a toy giraffe called Jeff.
04:32He thinks Jeff can talk.
04:34He can't.
04:35Well, maybe you've never heard him.
04:37Toys can't talk, and you can't talk on my tour.
04:42Sapphire's room.
04:44Get out!
04:49When you open the door without knocking, she throws things.
04:53When you knock, she shouts, go away.
04:58Go away!
05:03This would look amazing on you.
05:05You have to borrow it.
05:06Really?
05:07Can I?
05:07Yeah, sure.
05:09That's what best friends do.
05:10They share.
05:13I've never had a best friend before.
05:15Well, you've got one now.
05:16Go on, try it on.
05:17This was Lily's room, but now it's still the end.
05:19Lily Carmen's room?
05:21No talking on the tour.
05:22You're spoiling it.
05:23Okay, okay, I won't.
05:24I promise.
05:26You don't keep your promises.
05:27I do.
05:28Don't.
05:29We're not talking to her.
05:30What did I do?
05:31If you don't know, we're not telling you.
05:33Stop talking!
05:35Oh, I said I'd help you move rooms.
05:37Talking!
05:38Hang on.
05:38Look, girls, I'm really sorry, but...
05:40You're doing it again!
05:41Stop talking!
05:47Tracy Beaker promises not to talk on Gus's tool.
05:49There.
05:52Gus!
05:54Now what did I do?
05:56Gus!
05:57Oh, now the tour's over.
05:59You can get on and do some work, yeah?
06:01Come on.
06:02That will...
06:24Liam's here!
06:25Liam!
06:26Hi, Liam!
06:30Where is he?
06:31He's right behind me.
06:37Oh, come on.
06:39Oh, come on.
06:40It's only ten metres between here and the car.
06:42We can't have lost him already.
06:43A million lost times later
06:48And here I am
06:50Crying to tell you
06:52That I care
06:55I'm praying to you
06:56And here I am
07:06Get that thing away from me.
07:09Get it away.
07:10What's going on?
07:12Oh.
07:13Hey, Liam.
07:43Liam!
07:44Oh, nice to see you too, Gina.
07:46So, where am I staying then?
07:50The Pink Palace?
07:51My favourite.
07:53My favourite.
07:53Well painted.
07:54Entertainment's better than I remember.
07:56She was here.
07:58Oh, hey, Liam.
08:01Oh, hey, Liam.
08:01Why in Korea going well then?
08:04Oh, we met in prison.
08:08We met at the police station.
08:12Heard you were coming back.
08:14Are you OK?
08:15Why wouldn't I be?
08:16Because you're back here and not with your foster family?
08:19Yeah, but...
08:20We didn't have a big bedroom.
08:22Or a Frank.
08:23Let's talk.
08:27Er, just Liam, Frank.
08:32Tell you what, I'm making lunch today.
08:33How about I make you a burger?
08:35She'll forget.
08:37I won't.
08:38Take it, mate.
08:39Burger.
08:40Deal.
08:42Come on.
08:49You don't have to pretend with me.
08:51Pretend about what?
08:52Being back here.
08:53Sucks, right?
08:54Well, it's not that bad.
08:56I've been done by hundreds of foster parents.
08:58It sucks.
08:58It's OK.
09:00Really?
09:01I was gutted every time I got sent back here.
09:03Well, I'm good.
09:05Fine.
09:05Well, if you ever decide, do you want to talk?
09:07Sure.
09:07Er, are we done?
09:09Because we really want to catch up with Frank.
09:12Sure.
09:18The little girls stood up.
09:20I'm Katie Kilometer, the famous explorer,
09:23and I'm back from Antarctica.
09:24Everyone cheered.
09:26But Katie?
09:26What are you doing?
09:28Come and dream us a story.
09:30The tale of Katie Kilometer is the best book ever.
09:33I tell them stories at bedtime.
09:35They wanted a story now.
09:40But Katie wasn't alone.
09:41Behind her was a huge bear.
09:43It's drawn as three normal bears standing on each other's shoulders.
09:47But Katie wasn't afraid.
09:49She looked up at a square and size.
09:51I'll be fair at the door.
10:01Where's Liam's file?
10:02Ex-residence drawer.
10:04I haven't had a chance to move it to you.
10:08Tracy, I need to talk to you about your timekeeping and the way you've just...
10:11Look, I'm sorry I've been a bit all over the place.
10:13It's my first week.
10:14I'm trying to get my column right.
10:15I'll sort it, I promise.
10:18Hey, Liam's been returned five times.
10:20He could be a handful.
10:22Says he always takes it well.
10:24Yeah, well, not everybody breaks things like you used to.
10:28Funny.
10:29I just think he's not that surprised anymore.
10:31Yeah, but it's still not...
10:33Remember, you're doing lunch.
10:35Normal.
10:35Normal.
10:39Normal.
11:07You're all witnessing the birth of an EMA.
11:09The greatest fizzy drink of the 21st century.
11:12It blew it up.
11:14What?
11:14It doesn't blow up.
11:16It does.
11:17Okay, it did once, but it wasn't supposed to happen.
11:20What did happen then?
11:22I stored it under my foster mom and dad's bed.
11:32You killed your foster parents?
11:35No.
11:35No, it just gave them a shock and got a little bit soggy.
11:40But it is safe now, though.
11:43Of course.
11:45I have made improvements.
11:53Is the water getting bigger?
11:56I think they're wrong.
11:58Whoa, whoa, whoa, slow down.
12:00If somebody would have an accident.
12:20Find Liam and his posse and get them to clear up the kitchen, will you?
12:23Come on.
12:29Mike?
12:30I can't believe you never show me this.
12:32Tracy, I don't know what that is, but it can wait till I've cleaned off, eh?
12:35No, it can't.
12:37It's a letter from my mum I've never seen before, with a note attached from you saying not to
12:41show it to me.
12:44Oh, this is really old.
12:46I'm sorry, Tracy.
12:46This should have been in your red file when you left us.
12:48Well, it wasn't.
12:49I found it screwed up in the filing cabinet.
12:52I don't know how that happened.
12:53I'm sorry it was a bad mistake.
12:55The mistake was not showing it to me when it arrived.
12:58We did what we thought was best at the time.
13:00It's a letter from my birth mum.
13:02Yes, saying that she might visit and she'd always let you down before.
13:07So Cam and I thought it was best not to show you until we'd had some confirmation.
13:12Cam knew about this.
13:14Well, yes, but...
13:27Gus?
13:29No.
13:32Gus?
13:32Gus?
13:34Nearly.
13:36Nearly.
13:37Now.
13:38Lunch!
13:44How come you're making lunch?
13:45Where's Tracy?
13:47She's, uh, she's nipped out.
13:48I'll explain later.
13:50He means he'll tell you when we're not about.
13:53Shall I, Tracy, not do lunch to my list of what she's done wrong?
13:56No, thank you, Gus.
13:57Gus, I'll do it.
13:58Oh, and chips.
13:59Can we have chips?
14:01Well, let's see.
14:02She was late for work.
14:03She didn't help Cam and move rooms.
14:05She wrote it in my book.
14:07Not doing lunch makes four.
14:09Uh, Tracy, can't make a burger.
14:13Yeah, well, Tracy isn't here, is she Frank?
14:15I'm definitely adding Frank's burger to my list.
14:18You've got my fork.
14:19People are afraid.
14:20She hasn't been here long.
14:21What do you think people thought of you when you first arrived?
14:23You were strange.
14:24Yeah, well, you think your giraffe talks.
14:30Yeah, I'll probably, I'll do it.
14:32I bet Tracy's done some good stuff, too.
14:34You should make a list of stuff that she's done right since she's been in.
14:37She helped me out at the cop shop.
14:39Oh, yes, and Tracy's criminal record is an inspiration to us all.
14:48Tracy?
14:51And what are you doing back?
14:53Oh, don't tell me you've got fired.
15:01Why are you bringing this up?
15:03This is five years old.
15:05And I thought you knew.
15:06If I knew about it, I'd have said something.
15:10Well, we were trying to protect you.
15:13And we were right.
15:14She never even applied for visiting rights.
15:17You should have told me.
15:19At least I didn't know she was thinking about me.
15:23I'm sorry.
15:25It felt like the right thing to do at the time.
15:27What the secrets have you kept from me?
15:30Have I got a dad somewhere out there I don't know about?
15:33Brothers?
15:33Sisters?
15:34And my twins?
15:35Tracy, just calm down.
15:37We can talk about this after...
15:38I trusted you and you betrayed me.
15:40I'll never be able to trust you again.
15:42Oh, well, now you know how I felt after you stole my money.
16:02It doesn't go in there.
16:04It goes in the cork off bin.
16:08Johnny, what are you doing?
16:09Tracy, get her off.
16:10I was going to get off bin.
16:11Johnny, let him go.
16:17Tracy?
16:18What?
16:20This can't go on.
16:22You have been late for work every day.
16:25And when you're meant to do lunch, you go out.
16:27And worse and even more unforgivable
16:31is that you keep on breaking your promises to the kids.
16:35I do not.
16:36Oh, there's Carmen, Lily, Frank, Gus.
16:42Hmm?
16:43You keep letting them down and it happens every day.
16:47And you, out of all people should know,
16:50you cannot break your promise to children in care.
16:54So come on, Tracy.
16:56You better get your act together, otherwise you're out.
16:58You can't fire me.
17:00You're not in charge.
17:01Only Mike can fire me.
17:02Tracy.
17:05Kids, go on.
17:06Off you go.
17:09If you don't mind, Gina, I'll deal with this.
17:16Listen, I've let things slide
17:17because I thought you'd find your feet.
17:19But your behaviour today has been completely unacceptable.
17:23And if you don't change your attitude,
17:25well, we're going to have to let you go.
17:28Let me save you the trouble.
17:30I'd quit.
17:32Keep on running
17:36Keep on hiding
17:39One fine day
17:41I'm going to be the one
17:42To make you understand
17:44Oh, yeah, I'm going to be your man
18:04Don't they look great, Lily?
18:06The clothes are too big.
18:08Just having a laugh.
18:09I might see some sparklies.
18:11Rosie doesn't like stuff in her hair.
18:13She'll love this.
18:14It's just like fairy does.
18:16She won't like it.
18:17She will, look.
18:18It's amazing.
18:21I told you not to!
18:24I thought she'd like it.
18:25You never listen!
18:27I don't want to be best friends with you anymore.
18:31Come on, I'll wash that off.
18:38Is that what you wanted?
18:40Yes.
18:41Do you want another one?
18:43No, thank you.
18:44One each.
18:44Saffronis next.
18:46Good luck.
19:08That's a weird question.
19:12Give them back.
19:13No.
19:14Why not?
19:19They look great.
19:20They look stupid.
19:21People are going to laugh at me.
19:23Well, why did you wear them then?
19:25Because all my other trousers have been washed.
19:27Oh, wow.
19:28They look great.
19:30You look just like Peter Pan.
19:34Um, take it.
19:41And Carmen, move into your room.
19:44Yeah.
19:45Okay.
19:46Cool.
19:46Let's go and move.
19:47Let's go and move.
19:48Wait.
19:50Carmen is not moving into your room.
19:54Why not?
19:55Why can't she stay in your room?
19:57Me and Carmen ain't friends anymore.
20:00She's going to make Poppy cry.
20:01Carmen?
20:02Well, she didn't mean to, but she just keeps interfering.
20:07She wants to take over.
20:09Lily, I think...
20:11I think she might just want to be your friend.
20:14You should give her another chance.
20:17Really?
20:17Yeah.
20:18Then she'll have to meet with him with tea.
20:34I think she'll have to meet with me.
20:49Listen.
20:52You and Lily, you've just got to get used to each other.
20:55It's a big deal living with something you're not used to.
20:58Is it?
20:59One of the biggest things ever.
21:01Look at me.
21:02I blew my foster parents up.
21:04Did you blow Lily up?
21:06Listen, you're doing better than me already.
21:08Just give them a bit of space, eh?
21:11And don't blow them up.
21:12Yeah?
21:13Yeah?
21:21What are you doing out here?
21:23What do you think?
21:25Last bottle of lemonade.
21:27Want some?
21:36So why'd you come back to the dumping ground?
21:39When you did a job?
21:41Yeah, but here.
21:45You don't have to pretend with me.
21:48What?
21:49Being back here, it sucks, right?
21:54Oh, I worked so hard to get away from this place and now I'm back.
21:58Well, I was.
22:00You showed something back then.
22:03Oh, everyone was watching, weren't they?
22:05Not everyone, but the people who weren't, they had it acted out for them.
22:09Oh, no.
22:11It was a laugh.
22:12I quit!
22:14Psh!
22:16Oh, that was so stinking.
22:20Oh, forget it.
22:22It's done.
22:23You don't see me crying over something I can't change.
22:28You want to see someone cry?
22:29Go write in Gus's notebook.
22:32Who told you?
22:33He did, of course.
22:36Well, that's Julian time up.
22:38It's a drink up and shove off.
22:50Yeah.
22:51Takes a bit of getting used to.
23:09I'm going to ask Mike if we can change bedrooms.
23:14I'm sorry I've been in such a pain.
23:18But I hope we can still be friends.
23:22I want you to have this.
23:23Thanks.
23:37A tent made of feathers and leaves.
23:40It's Carmen in our story.
23:43Do you want her to be?
23:52Carmen?
23:54Yeah?
23:56You don't have to ask Mike to move rooms.
23:58I want you to stay.
24:00We all do.
24:03Thanks, Lily.
24:07I have a question.
24:11Mike, I'm really sorry about earlier.
24:14It's OK.
24:16No, it's not OK.
24:17I made a mistake.
24:19I want to stay.
24:23I'm sorry, Tracy, but it's not that simple.
24:28But...
24:28Look, look.
24:30I don't think that you made a mistake.
24:32I think I did.
24:35The whole business with the letter
24:37has shown me just how hard it is for you to come back.
24:41I shouldn't have said you could come and work here.
24:43But I can do it.
24:44I'll turn up to work on time.
24:46I won't make any promises I can't keep.
24:48I'll make it up to the children.
24:50Please, Mike.
24:51I need this job.
24:53OK.
24:55I'm sorry, Tracy.
24:56It's been a really tough decision.
24:59But...
24:59But it's for the best.
25:01As much as I would like to help you.
25:04The kids come first.
25:05I have to do what's best for them.
25:08I have a list to read out.
25:10Oh.
25:11Um...
25:11Can we hear it later?
25:13Yes, you can hear it later.
25:15But you need to hear it now, too.
25:18OK.
25:26Things Tracy has done right.
25:29Rosie says Tracy makes her laugh.
25:32Lily says Tracy's the only other person.
25:35Poppy lets tie her shoe laters.
25:38Sapphire says Tracy was rude to a boy who phoned her.
25:41She says that's a good thing.
25:44Liam says he likes it with Tracy,
25:46because he's not the only one causing trouble.
25:49That might have been a joke.
25:51Jeff likes Tracy, Gus.
25:53T says Tracy makes her laugh.
25:55Thanks, Gus.
25:56Thanks.
25:57I have 11 more things Tracy has done right things on my...
26:01That's OK.
26:02But I think I've got your point.
26:04Yeah?
26:05Now, why don't you leave us alone?
26:06Please.
26:07Tracy and I need to talk.
26:12It seems like the kids want you to stay.
26:16And if you do,
26:19you are making a huge commitment to these children, right?
26:22You can't keep letting them down.
26:25I won't.
26:26I promise.
26:27I know I've got to stop living in the past and move on.
26:30All right.
26:31How are you going to do that?
26:32I have no idea.
26:34But I think I know where to start.
26:37So, I guess what I want to say is,
26:40sometimes having a fresh start
26:42doesn't mean doing something completely new.
26:45Sometimes it means doing something you've done before,
26:48but in a new way.
26:50Moving forward instead of looking back.
26:54A wise young man told me something this afternoon,
26:57which made me realise,
26:59tomorrow starts today.
27:01This is my first column and my fresh start.
27:04So, to all my readers,
27:06happy new life scene.
