School Trip 4 o'Clock Club

# Where do you go when you know nobody can understand you?

# When it's just too much to handle

# What do you do when you end up somewhere you never planned to?

# Wash that stress out like it was shampoo

# You should stay, it can change

# There's good days and bad days

# But one day down the line this time is sure to stop

# So the only time is now 4 O'Clock! #

Have you packed your thermal vest?

I don't have a thermal vest, Mum.

-You do now.

-Oh...

It gets cold in a tent at night.

Hey! And don't cause any trouble!

Mum, I'll be in a big empty field. How am I going to cause any trouble?

I'm sure you'll find a way.

Come here, what is that?

Oh, Mum! Oh, my gosh! Why?

Put your bags towards the rear of the coach

and check they're fastened...

Oi! Bonzo! Watch where you're clonking your clown-shoes!

That's genuine counterfeit Italian!

You can't just get that flippin' anywhere.

Yeah, they only sell 'em off the back of trucks.

Shut up! At least mine ain't filled with bats and cobwebs!

OK, OK. Just leave it towards the rear of the coach, please.

Shove off it, bag botherer!

Good to see you've got everything under control.

Thanks for vouching for me to run the trip.

I'm not sure Mr Bell was all that keen.

Don't worry about it. I'm sure you'll do a good job.

Just make sure you do, though,

otherwise we'll both be in trouble.

Well, this is going to be a disaster.

The Music Department running the camping trip.

Actually, Dexter knows an awful lot about the countryside.

There's more to surviving in the wild

than skipping through Dingley Dell puffing on a panpipe.

Well, the campsite I've chosen's got loads of activities

to stretch the kids and...

"Sun Forest Adventure Camp"?

What are the activities?

Picnics with Mrs Tiggywinkle?

Come on, let's get this over with.

Nice poncho, Miss.

She's lying. You look like a kitten stuck in a welly.

Argh! I died again!

And I'm going on this stupid camping trip. This is the worst day ever.

If Mr Thorne hadn't stuffed me in his stupid five-a-side team

I'd have well gone on the ski trip.

Yeah, I'd love to catch some slopes.

Ryan, you got a nosebleed at the top of the kiddies' slide.

Cos a toddler head-butted me!

Watch out at camp. Make sure you don't get chinned by a woodlouse.

Shut up! I could take a woodlouse.

Hey! Chill your boxers, man.

No-one's going to be fighting any mini beasts.

Everything will be at hand.

Where's your camping stuff?

Ahhh, I don't need it. It's all part of the plan.

I didn't know we had a plan.

And he actually fell for this?

I even made it on his printer.

He really thinks it's all tents and campfires!

He's no idea what Sun Forest actually is.

You can't eat your packed lunch now.

What are you going to do at dinner time?

Eat yours.

Not if I eat mine first.

Team meeting! Back of the bus.

Better get this. Be back in a minute.

That's not allowed. Lunchtime's 12.30 at the campsite.

See?

Settle down back there!

"Cooking a potato?"

"Campfire stories?"

They're not a bunch of girl guides.

No, but I want to get them out of their comfort zones.

Work as a community. Build a team.

Hey, I know something about building a team,

and you don't do it by singing Kumbaya to some spuds.

You do it by running through the cold, lashing rain.

Look at the good it's done my lot.

Phillips, put him down!

You'll have lost control of this lot by tomorrow morning,

I bet you anything.

You'll be begging me to take over and run things my way.

I tell you what, you're on. I've planned this all out.

Nothing can go wrong.

I'll give it five hours before they end up in a silage heap.

Well, at least they'll be far away from the school.

Half term.

Look at it.

So still and quiet.

It's like it's at peace.

No pupils.

No staff.

Perfect.

Call our sponsors.

This week will be a good time to show them around.

Yes.

Yes, it will.

# You guys are going to love every minute

# No phones, no gadgets No internet, bin it

# Forget about your social networks

# I can show you how growing your own veg works

# These city kids act all tough

# But I bet that they're puppies when they're out in the rough

# I'll show them and Mel who's the organised guy

# Cos I planned ahead for the trip of a lifetime

# You're gonna love this trip Yep, I guarantee it

What is THAT?

You are a genius, Josh Carter! A week in a theme park!

You're going down in history, man.

Does that roller-coaster look a bit fast?

I think it might be too fast.

Ryan, there's no such thing as too fast for a roller-coaster.

Yeah, there is, right?

Cos my auntie went on this rollercoaster

and her skin got all stretched out by the G-force,

and now she has to clip her face down with pegs.

What did they say? Have we come to the wrong place?

No, no mistake. It's a campsite attached to a theme park.

You know, it really is a shame about those cowpats, man.

I was really looking forward to stepping in them.

Guess we're going to have to cope with the rides and luxury caravans.

Josh. With me. Now.

I know what you've done, Josh.

Oh, come on, we're already here.

Chill your trolleys and take a ride on the Death Plunge.

I'm not riding the Death Plunge.

OK. The Baby Ladybirds.

There's no way we're spending half term in a theme park.

This is supposed to be an educational trip.

Come on, it is educational!

We'll learn about being spun upside down, really fast.

Come on, Dexter, it's already been arranged.

Well, I've unarranged it.

And I'm going to make sure everyone knows this is your fault.

No way. You can't just go back to Bell and tell him you messed up.

You've got to see this one through.

Everyone back on the coach. We're going home!

You can't always take the easy option, Josh.

You'll learn that one of these days.

# And all I can do is stand and watch

# So close I could almost taste the candyfloss

# Like I was at the top On the rollercoaster

# Now I'm back down to Earth I know it's over

# Kind of felt a teacher could be tricked into fun

# But never thought Dexter would stick to his guns

# Now I'm the prime target

# The second I break the news to all these Year Nine classes

# No trip today No trip out tomorrow

# The House of Fun is now the House of Horrors

# But if sliding down this Helter Skelter is my problem

# I'm bringing Dexter down with me to the bottom

# Cos we're in this together

# For better or for worse except not for better

# And on this rollercoaster of emotion all I know

# Is if I'm going down I ain't going down alone

# Cos we're in this together

# For better or for worse except not for better

# And on this rollercoaster of emotion all I know

# Is if I'm going down I ain't going down alone

# Ah man, what a stitch up

# Before it's even begun Josh has mucked the trip up

# Thought this was the big one that I could show my class with

# Now I've looped the loop and I'm back where I started

# I feel as if I was having fun on the log flume

# Then got a mouthful of sewer water on cue

# But even if I fall out and it's deep

# One thing's for sure I'm taking Josh with me

# Cos we're in this together

# For better or for worse Except not for better

And on this rollercoaster of emotion all I know

# Is if I'm going down, I ain't going down alone. #

Hey, this isn't my fault!

You fell for some bogus leaflet and you were listening to me.

What were you thinking?

Oh, so this is my fault, is it?

Course it is, you know what I'm like.

You have been a total Bieber!

But if we work together, we can fix this.

And how are we going to do that?

We just need to find somewhere new to camp.

Yeah, somewhere that they'll let school kids,

er, they have a field with some football stuff for Mr Thorne.

That way, Bell won't know how badly I made you mess up.

Where could we find all that at short notice?

The school field? This is never going to work.

Why wouldn't it? Course it is. We can still do team-building stuff.

And experiencing nature on their own doorsteps is good for them.

What's going to stop them going home to their parents

and telling them we took them nowhere,

and their parents complaining to Bell?

Josh is dealing with it. I reckon he's as excited about this as I am.

Nice tent. Get a nice smell of that fresh...

mud.

Cart-face! Wipe that grin off cos we're not camping at school

just to save your stinking cheese strings.

This is well rank.

Yeah, it is. I ain't arguing.

Right. Good. Well I'm going home, then I'm going shopping, all right?

Good idea. Oh, but I guess we'd have to give all that money back.

-But it's worth it.

-What money? What are you talking about?

The money for the campsite.

It's free to crash here, so if we don't get busted,

we can keep all the money.

But you're right. It's, what was it, rank?

Yeah, it's rank. So we'll just get out of this fresh air...

Oi! Cut your slinking off, Carter!

You ain't rattin' me out of free moolah.

We're staying in this stink hole and no-one's going nowhere

or saying nothing, all right?

Whatever you say, Zoe-Marie.

OK, welcome to camp!

First thing, I notice a lot of you have brought gadgets,

so I want you to put them all in this bag.

Come on. Games, phones, hand them over.

We're actually going to talk to each other for a change.

-GAME BLEEPS

-And you, Ash.

What? But I almost killed the zombie ostrich!

You touch my music, you die.

Right. Well. Maybe Miss Poppy can look after these.

Now, for the rest of the day I want you all to imagine

you've been dropped in the middle of nowhere without any equipment.

So your first task is to build a shelter

and a campfire over there in the woods, OK?

You're joking! We're not making mud pies.

There's decent sports facilities here,

I'm taking my lot on a decent long run, right, boys?

You, boy. You!

Get with the team.

And remember the bet, this lot out of control by morning

and me in charge with some REAL challenges.

Mr Thorne, this is a field trip, not boot camp.

You just don't understand exercise.

I exercise!

What? Trotting to the classroom, parping on your oboe?

I don't think so.

Think I might have touched a nerve there.

Right, Come on, boys, let's get changed.

OK. So, any questions?

Can I have my music back now?

How do we send a text?

Can you get rabies off a slug?

OK, OK. Maybe questions later.

So, let's have one group with Miss Poppy and one group with me.

Where's Josh?

Oh, he's gone for a wee.

I don't want him messing about with you lot anyway.

He's in your group. Find him and don't let him out of your sight.

Thanks a lot, sir(!)

Right!

Thought I'd join you on your run, if you can keep up.

Come on, lads. After her.

OK. Let's get building.

-With what?

-I think you've forgotten the building equipment, sir.

There isn't any equipment, that's the point.

We have to use whatever we find in the forest.

Like what? Dead squirrels? I ain't touching none of that.

I've just had my nails done.

And why do we have to build shelters when we have tents?

We're imagining we're miles away from civilisation.

Oi, Skinny-Binny. I swear, the school's, like, two inches that way.

Yeah, but just...look.

The idea is, we explore the forest

and see if we can live with whatever nature provides.

What, like a tramp? I ain't doing no tramping lessons!

No. Like Ray Mears.

He lived in a swamp and he ate elephant poo!

And what if it rains? Or if there's animals in here?

And how are we supposed to keep warm?

And what are we supposed to sit on?

And what if we get dirty?

I don't think people can live with nature, sir.

It just doesn't really work.

OK. Ralph and Jack, scour the wood for materials,

Sam, you get started on the campfire

and Josh, you can help me with construction.

Yeah, that's not really going to happen.

But we have to build a shelter.

No, YOU got to build a shelter.

I have got to be like these green things...and veg out.

I packed for a theme park. I've got nothing anyway.

But how are you going to manage?

With a little bit of J Carter magic.

Come back! I'm not allowed to let you out of my sight!

Camping here was your idea!

Going to a theme park was my idea.

Camping at school's just so Bell doesn't pack me off to Fowlmere.

So you're not even going to help?

What happened to your responsibility to the group?

Shh! Can you hear that?

Is that clapping?

To you, it sounds like clapping. To me, it sounds like the easy life.

Hey, look at this one.

-Wow. You found a stick(!)

-Is it good enough? What do you think?

Do you know what I liked about my MP3 player?

The fact that it drowned out people like you

from asking my opinions about sticks.

Careful, slow down. You don't want to step on a wasps' nest.

Shut up.

Cricket? Ahhh!

Now, that's what I'm talking about. Come on.

And snakes. My mum says you should never corner an adder.

Wow. I was about to go looking for an adder to corner(!)

It's a good job you warned me.

Sometimes there's old mineworks you can fall into, and...

Ryan! We're in a dog's toilet at the bottom of the school field,

not a jungle. There's nothing to be afraid of.

-Spider!

-A-a-agh!

Oh, no. It's just a bit of leaf.

Sorry. Thought it was a spider.

Molly?

I just don't like this stupid forest, OK?

All right, well. Come on, then.

Well?

I think I'm stuck.

Come on, move! She can't be that far ahead! Come on!

Oh, Jeff, I'm...!

Come on. Just jump. It's not that far.

No.

I'm afraid of heights.

Is that technically a height?

Yeah, all right, go on, rub it in!

Just swivel around and lower yourself. I'll catch you.

I've done this before. Trust me.

I didn't know you'd saved anyone from a tree before.

Well, it wasn't a person out of a tree,

a football out of a bush.

But it's the same thing.

A-a-agh!

RIPPING

What was it? Snakes? Badgers?

Ripped trousers.

See? I told you. Give 'em a little sob story,

sound a little bit pathetic and the easy life is yours.

It was awful being lost in the woods. I'm so hungry.

You have learned well, my little padawan.

Right, you young ragamuffins! Let's put you to work.

Whoa!

Oh! Agh! A-agh!

This is all your fault, Carter!

Well, it won't keep the rain out. Or the wind.

Or a determined hedgehog. But at least we're having fun.

We could put these round the campfire to sit on, sir.

And I'm using bark to protect my nails!

Interesting!

Hey! What are you doing here?

You're supposed to be racing me!

Well, I got something in my shoe, so I came back.

Ohhh, you cheat!

Come on, Jeff, lay off!

What?

-Jeff!

-Seriously? Come on!

Just forget about him. Maybe you lot should work with us.

One big team. It'll be great.

What happened to you two? Is that Ryan's jumper?

GIGGLING

That was the worst afternoon ever!

-I can wash up at home, but with a dishwasher!

-OK, so I messed up.

But at least we wasn't here with all the other mugs...

LAUGHTER AND CHATTER

..having a great time?

Josh! Where have you been? You missed all the fun!

Come on, join in, we're having a great time!

# Ahh, such a nice warm feeling

# When everything is sweet Almost like you're dreaming

# We've built a team and

# Everybody's pulling in the same direction with great affection

# And they thought it would be just another trip

# Got them out their comfort zones and they're loving it

# Look at Ryan He's got Molly smiling

# And he's proved that he can be brave as a lion

# And well done, Agness

# As the architect, she can truly be proud of how her camp is

# As for Zoe-Marie

# She's not kicking off or even going for me, what a team

# And it feels so warm

# Warm like coming home during a storm

# Real warmth can't be bought

# It's more than expensive It's priceless, it's friendship

# Brrr, such a frosty feeling

# Being left out in the cold What's the reason?

# Cutting corners working round laws

# Cheating has never let me down before

# Look at these smiles How did they get there?

# They haven't eaten cream cakes on deckchairs

# They've had mud and logs to carry around

# So what the heck are all of them so happy about?

# Now, if I told em where I've been they won't believe me

# Probably wouldn't care It's as if they don't need me

# Look at them, it's like they've been brainwashed

# And I don't really know what they need, but it ain't Josh

# And it feels so cold

# Cold like being all alone Growing old

# Shiver down my spine as if no one likes me

# Out in the cold and it's just so icy. #

I didn't think it was actually going to be fun.

Psst!

Psst! Over here!

Ash, What are you doing here?

Shouldn't you be with the football team?

Nah, those guys, they've lost it big time.

Thorne, he's doing his nut in about Mr Harris and Miss Poppy,

about getting 'em back for when they cheated.

Getting them back? What are they going to...?

SHOUTING

SHOUTING AND COMMOTION

Retreat!

OK! We're still fine! We're still a team!

Let's just go back to the tents! Everything will be all right!

Oh, no, they've done the tents.

What the cheese are we going to flippin' do now?

Look, we can't give up now, man.

The woods aren't my natural environment,

but there's one place where I'm a real survival expert.

What do you think?

Not bad. We're just missing some marshmallows to toast.

Tah-dah!

Fresh from the tuck shop!

Relax. I paid for them!

OK! Let's have a sing-song!

This really has been wicked.

Yeah. It has.

Shame about the football team. Be nice to get them back.

Whatever they do only brings us closer together, right?

Plus, no-one even knows where they are anyway.

Yeah! I mean they're sleeping in the sports hall,

but they could be anywhere in the sports hall, you know.

Could be in the basketball courts.

Could be on the crash mats. It really is a mystery.

Night, guys!

Night.

Oi!

Oi!

LAUGHTER, CHEERING AND CHATTERING

Come here! Give those back!

And I hope you'll see that we've been putting your money to good use.

I think, even with the school empty,

you can almost hear the atmosphere of quiet study

which I've encouraged to take root here. Shh.

DISTANT THUDDING AND CHATTER

Josh, what's going on?

Just helping Mr Thorne on his daily morning workout.

Why are you running?

Harris! You put them up to this!

JOSH LAUGHS

-What is it?

-Bell! He's on his way.

What are we going to do? Josh?

-Hard work and honesty?

-There's a time for hard work and honesty

and there's a time for quick fixes and lying. And this is that time!

You've come to the right place.

Erm, I really don't know where these could have come from.

Harris! I want a word with you!

Have you still got that bet on with Mr Thorne?

-Yeah!

-Tell him he's won, I'll deal with dingo!

Where's my shorts?

I'm sure there's a reasonable explanation.

Of course.

Of course it would be you.

Why aren't you on your trip?

A trip that I let Harris take charge of. What was I thinking?

This isn't Dexter's fault, sir.

He's not in charge of the trip any more.

Well, who is?

-DISTANT:

-You're right, Thorne. You're the better man, I lose.

You hear that? I'm in charge!

Forget about "nature studies."

I'm going to lick you lot into shape.

And don't even think about complaining to Bell,

cos I'm going to make sure that you...

Make sure that you, er...

Mr Thorne. My office. Now.

-Thanks, Ryan. I'll give you this back on Monday.

-All right.

Oo-ooh!

Look, it's my jumper. It's not...

I'm not...it's not like I'm dressing up in her clothes or anything, OK?

I think we've all learned a valuable lesson.

It takes hard work and honesty to build a community.

And it takes lies and tricks to keep it going.

That's a pretty bad lesson.

It was a pretty bad trip.

You're kidding. That was the best trip EVER.

And don't let no-one tell you any different.

Apart from her.

I want a word with you two!

Why are there faked theme park leaflets in your printer?

Just what are you trying to pull?

-Lies and tricks?

-Won't work on her.

Oh, yeah! You better run!

-# Can't live with 'em

-And you can't kick 'em out

# When they're up they rub it in your face

-# Kick you when you're down

-But when no-one understands them

# You know what they're on about

-# Always going to be around

-Got to find a common ground

# If you know so much about me Where do I go from here?

-# If you see 'em every day

-You can never get away

# Only time that you're the boss 4 o'clock! #
