[Arthur is watching The Story Of Tracy Beaker on iPlayer. He is taken back by all the happy memories Tracy had in the Dumping Ground. Munching on a slice of pizza, he pauses the video.]
ARTHUR: Hey, suppose I'll give Tracy a ring, see how she's doing.
[Arthur picks up his iPhone and dials Tracy's number. Tracy is writing her next story when the CBBC 2007 ringtone goes off on her phone. She picks it up and answers it.]
ARTHUR: Hey, Tracy!
TRACY BEAKER: Hi, Arthur! We haven't hooked up with each other in like a few years.
ARTHUR: Yeah, that was way back. Remember when it was your birthday and you fantasized about leaving Ben out to die in the desert?
TRACY BEAKER: What? That was just a fantasy.
ARTHUR: Fantasy? These imaginative sequences were shown to the whole entire world, just like the thoughts of me and my friends when we were kids.
TRACY BEAKER: Yeah, great. Remember when D.W. went to a princess-unicorn restaurant to learn how to try new foods?
ARTHUR: That was repeated way too many times.
TRACY BEAKER: And I could not forget the time when Binky found out he had an allergy.
ARTHUR: What about Tracy Beaker Returns?
TRACY BEAKER: Hmmm...it would be better if My Mum Tracy Beaker contained animated sequences like in my first two shows - you know, ones with me and the DG residents as superheroes or princesses or fairies or knights or jungle explorers or being catapulted or being shot out of cannons.
ARTHUR: Ha! I remember all that! Plus, remember your first animated sequence?
TRACY BEAKER: Yeah, right. Whenever I screamed, it showed a riotous animation of the Dumping Ground shattering to smithereens, or Jenny flying out the window, yeah these were-

[Tracy picks up the phone, and...]
VLAD: Tracy!
TRACY BEAKER: Oh my goodness, Vlad!
VLAD: Yeah yeah, I was on last October.
TRACY BEAKER: But I missed it.
VLAD: No you didn't, you Breather! Scream Street had a new season. I guess the new main characters for CBBC today are three refugees named Luke, Resus and Cleo.
TRACY BEAKER: I get it already, Vlad, my movie aired two times last year, but I guess you could say CBBC is just like a Hasbro toyline - the main characters change with every new incarnation.
VLAD: Tell me, Trace - what are you thinking about?
TRACY BEAKER: Erm...a shampire.
VLAD: I'm off!!
TRACY BEAKER: Shouldn't he just have yelled "Bog off!"?
