-I took the third right. Grange Street.

-'Right.'

0:00:020:00:03

Right? There is no right.

0:00:030:00:05

'Oh, no. No, I didn't mean... I meant...

0:00:050:00:08

'Oh, forget it!

0:00:080:00:10

'The second left.

0:00:100:00:13

-'There's a street coming up on your right.'

-Oh, yeah.

0:00:130:00:16

'Take that and then... No, then the third left.'

0:00:160:00:18

-Jodie...

-'Take the...'

-Jodie, you're cutting out!

0:00:180:00:22

-Jodie.

-Oh!

0:00:220:00:25

Oh, you've got to be kidding!

0:00:250:00:27

-I'm so sorry.

-This is a very new and very expensive jacket.

0:00:290:00:33

It'll wash out. Look, I really need to get to Five Bridges Radio.

0:00:330:00:36

-I'm really sorry again.

-Five Bridges?

0:00:360:00:38

Yeah, you know, "Five Bridges News, on the hour, every hour."

0:00:400:00:44

I'm doing work experience there as a journalist.

0:00:440:00:47

You know, crimes and conspiracies and stuff.

0:00:470:00:50

-Follow me.

-But...

0:00:500:00:51

I'm going to be late. I want to make a good first impression.

0:00:510:00:54

It's too late for that. I'm your boss.

0:00:540:00:57

So, let me get this straight -

0:01:200:01:23

Tyler is working...for free.

0:01:230:01:26

It's called work experience.

0:01:260:01:29

It's so he can show how serious he is about being a journalist.

0:01:290:01:31

It makes no sense at all.

0:01:310:01:33

Mate, are you just stalling over showing me this new kick flick?

0:01:330:01:37

You can't rush a master, OK?

0:01:370:01:38

Oh, Umbleby. Two o'clock.

0:01:410:01:45

-What's he doing?

-Whatever it is, it doesn't look good.

0:01:450:01:48

Come on.

0:01:500:01:51

-# Five Bridges Radio. #

0:01:550:01:58

You're back on Talk Time with Tyler Lewis.

0:01:590:02:02

Who's our next caller, please?

0:02:020:02:04

Ahem.

0:02:040:02:07

It'll certainly be a while before we allow you on-air, Mr Lewis.

0:02:070:02:10

I was hoping I'd be doing a bit more than sharpening pencils.

0:02:120:02:15

What, like investigating crimes and conspiracies?

0:02:150:02:18

This is local news.

0:02:180:02:20

That stuff, it's few and far between.

0:02:200:02:22

I'm sorry about your clothes.

0:02:220:02:24

It's just... Can't I get something a bit more exciting?

0:02:240:02:27

Oh! If it stops you from getting in my way all day.

0:02:270:02:31

Yeah...

0:02:320:02:34

Someone called in about an incident by the river.

0:02:340:02:36

-Go and investigate.

-Thanks!

0:02:360:02:39

What kind of incident?

0:02:420:02:43

Apparently there's a foul-mouthed fugitive on the loose.

0:02:430:02:47

Umbleby loves a notice.

0:02:550:02:57

-What is it?

-We need to go home.

0:02:570:02:59

They're closing the skate park.

0:02:590:03:01

'Knickers! Are you looking at me?

0:03:210:03:24

'Knickers! Are you looking at me?'

0:03:240:03:27

-Foul-mouthed fugitive.

-'Knickers! Are you looking at me?

0:03:270:03:31

'Knickers! Are you looking at me?'

0:03:310:03:34

The bird is just bait.

0:03:340:03:37

Meet me at the bench by the bridge.

0:03:370:03:40

I've got a story for you.

0:03:400:03:42

What is it?

0:03:490:03:51

-An alien?

-He's under my bed. Come see.

0:03:510:03:55

Not when I have this.

0:03:570:03:59

-You've already had four of these this week.

-Oh!

0:04:000:04:03

Look the other way, so we're not talking to each other.

0:04:070:04:10

-What's your name?

-Tyler Lewis.

0:04:110:04:14

How long have you been working at the station?

0:04:140:04:18

-Not long.

-Do you want to be a parrot and copy everyone else...?

0:04:190:04:23

..or do you want to be a real journalist?

0:04:250:04:27

'Go to 10 Bradley Street.'

0:04:350:04:38

It's simple, we need to stop this meeting from going ahead.

0:04:420:04:45

-Right?

-ALL:

-Yeah.

0:04:450:04:47

If we make some noise, they can't make any decisions.

0:04:470:04:50

-We could bang pots and pans.

-ALL:

-Yes!

0:04:500:04:52

Guys, listen, it says on the notice that anyone can attend, right?

0:04:520:04:55

Well, why don't we go to the meeting?

0:04:570:04:59

State our case.

0:04:590:05:01

Sit with the enemy? That's stupid.

0:05:010:05:04

We have to make them listen to us.

0:05:040:05:06

That'll never work. Who's going to take us lot seriously?

0:05:060:05:09

Sasha's right, we can't even pick a channel to watch without

0:05:090:05:12

-getting into a fight.

-One person needs to speak for us -

0:05:120:05:14

show them that this is bigger than just a skate park.

0:05:140:05:17

You know they got the basketball courts closed the other week.

0:05:180:05:21

We need to show them that we're not going to stand for this.

0:05:210:05:24

We want to be seen, and we are going to be heard!

0:05:240:05:27

Erm...

0:05:320:05:33

Yeah, something like that.

0:05:330:05:36

-Go, Chloe!

-Yeah, I didn't exactly understand what she said,

0:05:360:05:39

but I believe her.

0:05:390:05:42

Chloe, you can do this. You can speak for us.

0:05:420:05:45

-I didn't exactly mean me but...

-Oh, come on.

0:05:450:05:48

You're good at this stuff.

0:05:480:05:50

You're smart and you obviously care.

0:05:500:05:52

What's the problem?

0:05:520:05:54

Aggggh!

0:06:010:06:03

There's no problem.

0:06:120:06:14

Yes!

0:06:140:06:16

That's awesome.

0:06:170:06:19

Ahem.

0:06:300:06:31

Are you sure this is the right place?

0:06:370:06:40

It's a ghost street.

0:06:400:06:41

'Well, it's the address you gave Mike.'

0:06:410:06:43

'And he wants you call when you're on your way back.'

0:06:430:06:45

Yeah, all right. Bye.

0:06:450:06:47

I thought you'd never make it.

0:06:530:06:55

Ralph Palmer, pleasure to meet you.

0:06:570:06:59

Oh, sorry about the parrot.

0:07:010:07:04

Your boss, Miss Bloomfield, refuses to send anyone

0:07:040:07:08

to listen to me these days.

0:07:080:07:11

OK.

0:07:110:07:12

So, what's the story?

0:07:120:07:14

It's a conspiracy, young man.

0:07:150:07:17

20th of March - infestation of rats.

0:07:180:07:23

1st of April - electricity failure for three days running.

0:07:230:07:28

5th of April - bad smell reported.

0:07:280:07:32

Granted, that was possibly a mouldy trout in the fridge.

0:07:320:07:35

7th of April...

0:07:350:07:37

Wait. Who do you think's doing all this to you?

0:07:370:07:40

Those horrible developers, that's who.

0:07:420:07:44

The ones who want to knock this whole street to the ground.

0:07:440:07:47

Open your eyes. Did you not see the empty houses?

0:07:470:07:51

-I'm the last man standing.

-What happened to the others?

0:07:510:07:54

All signed up and moved out. Bullied into it.

0:07:540:07:57

All this can be explained.

0:07:580:08:00

I mean, anyone can get rats.

0:08:000:08:02

And we had faulty electricity the same time as you.

0:08:020:08:05

Fine.

0:08:050:08:08

Want to explain this?

0:08:080:08:10

Two of their men came to see me yesterday

0:08:100:08:12

to try and convince me to sign.

0:08:120:08:15

I shooed them off the premises as usual.

0:08:150:08:18

Later I found this...

0:08:180:08:21

I don't know, a fox maybe?

0:08:260:08:28

No-one will listen to me, Tyler.

0:08:390:08:41

I need your help.

0:08:460:08:48

Oh, cool zombie thingy?

0:08:540:08:56

He's under my bed.

0:08:560:08:58

I'm painting it to show Mike.

0:08:580:09:01

Oh, you don't have to show him. It's just a hobgoblin.

0:09:030:09:07

The what?!

0:09:070:09:09

Yeah, every house has a hobgoblin.

0:09:090:09:12

They're harmless, as long as you follow the rules.

0:09:120:09:15

He doesn't look happy.

0:09:150:09:17

That's probably because you looked him in the eye.

0:09:170:09:20

That's rule number one - never look him in the eye.

0:09:200:09:23

Anyway, see you in a bit.

0:09:270:09:30

Looking at this here, they want to build a multi-million pound project.

0:09:360:09:40

Luxury apartments, restaurants, the lot.

0:09:400:09:42

So Ralph refusing to move is costing them millions.

0:09:420:09:45

If this is true, we need to find some proof to stop them.

0:09:450:09:48

What are they going to do to him next?

0:09:480:09:50

Hit us with it, then, Chloe.

0:09:540:09:56

On 22nd of May 2009, the skate park opened.

0:09:580:10:03

Erm...

0:10:040:10:05

It was a...great thing for the community.

0:10:050:10:10

Say fantastic instead of great.

0:10:100:10:13

OK.

0:10:130:10:14

On 14 January this year the basketball court was closed

0:10:140:10:18

at a cost of...

0:10:180:10:21

32,000...

0:10:210:10:24

Do we really need dates and figures?

0:10:240:10:26

And have you thought about if they mention the graffiti on the

0:10:260:10:29

-basketball court?

-Guys, let her speak.

0:10:290:10:31

So according to research, there's a 56...

0:10:320:10:37

What happened to all of the hitting the table stuff?

0:10:370:10:40

What? I'm just saying what everyone's thinking.

0:10:430:10:46

Do you know what? You can find someone else to do it.

0:10:480:10:51

I'm done.

0:10:510:10:52

Douglas Properties?

0:10:560:10:58

Yeah, can I speak to someone about Ralph Palmer?

0:10:580:11:01

-RADIO:

-Looking for a new house? Want to choose from a brand-new selection

0:11:010:11:04

of properties from across the region?

0:11:040:11:06

They hung up! No, that's proper dodgy.

0:11:060:11:09

Listen to this.

0:11:090:11:11

'A range of award-winning developments.

0:11:120:11:14

'Visit our website to find out more.

0:11:140:11:16

'Douglas Properties, proud sponsors of Five Bridges travel.'

0:11:160:11:19

They sponsor the station!

0:11:190:11:21

So that's why my boss won't look into Ralph's problem.

0:11:210:11:23

You'll make him angry!

0:11:280:11:29

He's angry because he's hungry. Did Archie not tell you rule two?

0:11:330:11:37

-No.

-Bring him treats, especially cupcakes.

0:11:370:11:42

Roooarrr!

0:11:500:11:53

Yum, yum, yum!

0:11:550:11:58

-JINGLE:

-# Five Bridges News. Every hour on the hour. #

0:12:030:12:07

You've been talking to that Ralph Palmer.

0:12:070:12:10

-Is that a bad thing?

-He's a harmless fool,

0:12:100:12:12

but his mind is full of ridiculous theories.

0:12:120:12:15

But someone's trashed his garden and is making threats.

0:12:150:12:18

Listen, we've looked into his wild claims hundreds of times in the past

0:12:180:12:21

and never found a shred of proof.

0:12:210:12:23

A company planting rats?

0:12:230:12:25

But this is different.

0:12:250:12:28

If this is to do with them sponsoring the station,

0:12:280:12:30

I'll carry on myself.

0:12:300:12:32

Are you suggesting we let our sponsors influence our journalism?

0:12:320:12:35

I'm just trying to find the truth.

0:12:350:12:37

And I'm telling you to leave this whole thing alone right now.

0:12:370:12:40

Fix the photocopier.

0:12:400:12:43

Jodie. It's me.

0:12:530:12:55

KNOCK AT DOOR

0:12:560:12:58

Leave me alone.

0:12:580:13:00

-I said...

-We're here to say sorry.

0:13:000:13:04

We thought you'd be so good at putting the case

0:13:040:13:07

that we wouldn't have to.

0:13:070:13:08

We took advantage.

0:13:080:13:10

Look...

0:13:120:13:13

It's a big thing a kid speaking up against the adults.

0:13:150:13:19

But we forgot about you and how scared you'd be.

0:13:190:13:22

You don't understand, that's not what I'm scared of.

0:13:220:13:24

If I mess up, then... I'd be letting down my friends.

0:13:260:13:31

-What? No way.

-We'd be proud of you for trying.

0:13:310:13:35

Even if I messed up?

0:13:350:13:36

Maybe not trying is letting us down because you're our best chance.

0:13:360:13:40

What do you say?

0:13:420:13:45

Let's do it.

0:13:510:13:53

Hobgoblin.

0:13:560:13:57

Tyler, your boss is going to flip.

0:14:110:14:13

What's she going to do, sack me?

0:14:130:14:15

There he is! With backup, too.

0:14:200:14:24

-Have you given it to those bullies yet?

-Erm...

0:14:240:14:27

We need to come and look in your garden again -

0:14:280:14:31

try and find some real proof. CRASHING

0:14:310:14:34

BARKING

0:14:360:14:40

-Did you see anything?

-No.

0:14:440:14:46

But someone dropped these.

0:14:510:14:54

Who'd come back for pieces of garden gnome?

0:14:540:14:56

Just these three pieces? Nothing else has even been touched.

0:14:560:15:00

Does it matter? Haven't we got enough proof already.

0:15:000:15:02

TEXT ALERT

0:15:020:15:04

-Mike.

-You're in trouble.

0:15:080:15:10

He's left his duties, deliberately gone against my orders.

0:15:110:15:15

I'm awfully sorry, Ms Bloomfield.

0:15:150:15:17

He's jeopardised the future of the station.

0:15:170:15:21

-He's an enthusiastic young man.

-Possibly.

0:15:210:15:24

But the first thing he needs to learn about work is to respect

0:15:240:15:27

his boss and to take instruction.

0:15:270:15:29

Not when I find out the truth is involved.

0:15:290:15:31

Isn't that what good journalists should do?

0:15:310:15:33

A good journalist is also open-minded!

0:15:330:15:36

This is what your evil company are offering Ralph,

0:15:370:15:40

not to mention an incredible sum of money.

0:15:400:15:43

Now, I know some of you have doubts about the closure,

0:15:510:15:54

but I'm sure we all agree that we need to crack down on crime.

0:15:540:15:58

What's that got to do with the skate park?

0:15:580:16:00

Ah, apologies, it seems our skate park users here

0:16:000:16:04

are a little hot-headed.

0:16:040:16:07

Only this morning I was putting up a notice

0:16:070:16:09

and I found myself the victim of a torrent of abuse.

0:16:090:16:12

Well, that's a lie. We were only skating.

0:16:120:16:15

Just stay calm, we'll get our chance.

0:16:150:16:17

I rest my case.

0:16:170:16:19

This house!

0:16:230:16:25

It's amazing. Who wouldn't want to move there?

0:16:250:16:29

I don't know. It doesn't add up.

0:16:290:16:32

-What's this?

-Finn was painting it earlier.

0:16:420:16:46

-You've seen this, haven't you?

-It's the hobgoblin.

0:16:590:17:02

-He's eating under my bed.

-What?

0:17:020:17:06

-What do you know about this?

-Nothing.

0:17:190:17:22

I only wanted cupcakes.

0:17:220:17:23

-Archie?

-I was only fixing him.

0:17:230:17:26

I even went back today to try and get the rest of him.

0:17:260:17:29

I saved him because the old man didn't want him.

0:17:290:17:32

What do you mean? What did you see?

0:17:320:17:33

He was acting all crazy - smashing everything in his garden,

0:17:330:17:37

and I saw him painting words on his wall.

0:17:370:17:39

And all of that graffiti has to come from somewhere.

0:17:430:17:46

We've got to do something.

0:17:460:17:48

Could you please be quiet over there? This is a meeting.

0:17:480:17:52

No, Mr Umbleby, we thought this was going to be a conversation.

0:17:520:17:55

And...

0:17:550:17:56

Well, you talked about crime and I have stats here somewhere.

0:18:040:18:08

And...

0:18:080:18:10

Well, it's not quite...

0:18:100:18:12

Let me help you, shall I? You seem to be struggling.

0:18:120:18:15

-Give her notes back!

-Where did you get these figures?

0:18:150:18:18

In your head?

0:18:180:18:21

Or even worse, the internet?

0:18:210:18:23

These are the views of an ill-informed girl.

0:18:260:18:29

Now, then, let's talk about alternative suggestions

0:18:340:18:37

for the space.

0:18:370:18:39

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the youth of today.

0:18:410:18:45

Tyler Lewis. Are we going to give it to those bullies?

0:18:530:18:58

I...

0:18:580:19:00

I know you did all this.

0:19:000:19:02

Look, if you don't want to move, it's fine.

0:19:030:19:07

No-one's forcing you.

0:19:070:19:08

I just want to get them off my back, OK?

0:19:110:19:14

They keep coming around with these amazing offers.

0:19:140:19:17

I came this close to signing last night.

0:19:170:19:20

Wait, you want to sign?

0:19:200:19:23

Ralph, I wanted to help you.

0:19:260:19:29

Can you not just tell me what this is really about?

0:19:290:19:31

Come with me.

0:19:350:19:37

This is where we danced at the turn of the millennium.

0:19:560:19:59

Where we held our grandson for the first time.

0:20:000:20:03

That was where we had our last meal.

0:20:070:20:09

Don't you see?

0:20:100:20:12

This house is all I have left of her.

0:20:140:20:17

I'm sorry, Ralph.

0:20:180:20:20

But these are memories. You can take them with you.

0:20:210:20:24

Memories fade.

0:20:260:20:28

I won't remember the same.

0:20:310:20:32

She's only been gone a year.

0:20:430:20:45

And do you know...

0:20:480:20:50

..the other morning...

0:20:520:20:54

..I woke up...

0:20:550:20:59

..and she wasn't the first thing on my mind.

0:21:010:21:03

But maybe that's a good thing. You have to keep on living.

0:21:050:21:09

What do you know, you're just a little boy?!

0:21:090:21:11

But I know what it's like to leave the past behind.

0:21:140:21:17

I had to leave my mum and move into this big, scary house on my own.

0:21:170:21:23

I used to think about her all the time.

0:21:230:21:25

Then I made friends.

0:21:280:21:30

And I realised it was the best place for me.

0:21:300:21:34

Then one day, I didn't think about her once.

0:21:340:21:37

Did you feel bad?

0:21:380:21:40

Well, of course, but what else can you do?

0:21:400:21:43

Sit around and try and remember everything, or carry on?

0:21:440:21:48

Do you remember what you had for tea last Tuesday?

0:21:520:21:54

Erm...

0:21:560:21:57

Trout, maybe.

0:21:590:22:01

See, you have to think. Me, too.

0:22:020:22:05

But I remember the last meal I had with my mum in our house.

0:22:070:22:12

You see...

0:22:140:22:16

..all of this can get knocked down.

0:22:190:22:21

But the important stuff, it stays with you forever.

0:22:220:22:27

We shall not, we shall not be moved!

0:22:360:22:39

We shall not, we shall not be moved!

0:22:390:22:42

Sorry about this, everyone.

0:22:420:22:44

We'll resume the meeting once we've removed these children.

0:22:440:22:48

-We shall not...!

-Quiet!

0:22:490:22:52

-We shall not...!

-Quiet!

0:22:530:22:56

If anyone hasn't made up your minds up about the skate park

0:23:000:23:03

then I guess we've done it for you.

0:23:030:23:04

We blew it. You know why?

0:23:050:23:07

Because we're kids.

0:23:090:23:11

There's no point pretending we're perfect, because we're not.

0:23:110:23:14

We can be loud, hot-headed,

0:23:140:23:17

but I wonder how many of you were the same.

0:23:170:23:19

Guess where we go to do all that?

0:23:210:23:23

The skate park.

0:23:230:23:25

Take that away, and then what?

0:23:250:23:27

We'll take over your shops, your streets.

0:23:270:23:29

Or do we turn to crime,

0:23:310:23:34

the very thing that Mr Umbleby is so afraid of?

0:23:340:23:37

That's enough! OK, get them out.

0:23:370:23:39

Get them out.

0:23:390:23:41

Before you vote, just think - is he lying to get his own way,

0:23:410:23:45

not letting us speak, trying to make us look bad?

0:23:450:23:49

We might be kids, Mr Umbleby,

0:23:520:23:54

but you're supposed to be the grown-up here.

0:23:540:23:57

-Come in.

-I...

0:24:100:24:12

I came to apologise. You were right, none of it was true.

0:24:140:24:17

It doesn't matter who's right or wrong,

0:24:190:24:21

you went after the truth because someone needed your help.

0:24:210:24:24

And that is the quality not of a good journalist, but a great one.

0:24:240:24:29

Everything else you can learn.

0:24:290:24:32

Including when to listen to your superiors!

0:24:320:24:36

Maybe I could come back another time and clean those shelves?

0:24:360:24:39

Good idea.

0:24:390:24:41

But I thought you might like to be a guest

0:24:410:24:43

-on the breakfast show tomorrow.

-Me?!

-Mm-hm.

0:24:430:24:46

-On the radio?

-Yeah.

0:24:470:24:50

You can tell everyone about your work experience.

0:24:500:24:52

Make us look good.

0:24:520:24:54

And I expect that to be spotless.

0:24:560:24:58

You should have seen it, Chloe tore it up.

0:25:040:25:07

What do you two have to say?

0:25:070:25:10

We're sorry, Finn.

0:25:100:25:12

You can have our share of the cupcakes next week.

0:25:120:25:15

-It's OK. Want some more pizza?

-Yes, please.

0:25:150:25:18

Rooar!

0:25:180:25:19

-Oh, nice one, Finn!

-That was good!

0:25:230:25:26

THEY CHATTER

0:25:260:25:28

It was great. I learned a lot.

0:25:490:25:51

I'd like a career on the radio for sure.

0:25:510:25:54

I mean, well, I wasn't sure at first

0:25:540:25:57

but after my day here at Five Bridges Radio,

0:25:570:26:00

I can definitely see a future in the business.

0:26:000:26:03

Why don't you introduce the next song, Tyler?

0:26:030:26:06

Yeah, sure. This is Radio, Radio by...

0:26:060:26:11

Who? Who's he?

0:26:110:26:13

Ralph?

0:26:180:26:19

He's a surprise guest, all part of your work experience.

0:26:190:26:23

-What are you doing here?

-You're the journalist, ask me.

0:26:230:26:26

Welcome back, listener. I am joined by Ralph Palmer,

0:26:280:26:31

the last resident of Bradley Street that's earmarked for development.

0:26:310:26:34

What news, Ralph?

0:26:340:26:36

I've decided to sell up.

0:26:370:26:41

Erm...

0:26:460:26:48

-Why now, Ralph?

-Well, I guess...

0:26:480:26:51

I guess it's down to a very special young man.

0:26:520:26:56

Made me realise I'm not the only one who's had a rough ride.

0:26:560:27:01

And for someone of his age, well,

0:27:010:27:03

if he can get through it, then so can I.

0:27:030:27:06

He sounds like a very special, intelligent, amazing young man.

0:27:090:27:13

Yeah, well, I wouldn't go that far.

0:27:130:27:15

I spent so long trying to get people to listen to me.

0:27:170:27:21

I guess I needed to listen to someone else.

0:27:230:27:26

And...

0:27:280:27:30

I want to thank him for that.

0:27:320:27:34

Well, we'll be back right after this song.

0:27:380:27:42

This is Five Bridges Radio and...

0:27:420:27:45

..and I'm Tyler Lewis.
