0:01:09 > 0:01:14Just place the work neatly on the table and tidy away the paints.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17Martin!
0:01:17 > 0:01:20You're only supposed to be taking down the display, not the wall.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22You might want to pause there.
0:01:22 > 0:01:23Sorry, Miss.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27Right, everyone. Stop.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30Perfect. Just perfect, yes. It's done.

0:01:39 > 0:01:41Haven't we?
0:01:41 > 0:01:46Oh, now you mention it, it does look a bit bare, doesn't it?
0:01:46 > 0:01:52I think this room could do with just one more thing.

0:02:28 > 0:02:30And old arguments are being settled.
0:02:30 > 0:02:34- You're not my mother.- Yes, I am.
0:02:37 > 0:02:38I really am.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42In music and dance,
0:02:42 > 0:02:45Mr Christopher has some earth-shattering news of his own.

0:02:56 > 0:02:58Gasp! I know.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00If you're going to faint, do it now.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04Thank you, Martin. Now, I know what you're thinking.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07"But, sir, we'll never have another teacher with perfect pitch
0:03:07 > 0:03:09"and self-taught tambourine skills."
0:03:09 > 0:03:11And no, you won't.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13But I've been given the opportunity of a lifetime.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15What's that, then, sir?
0:03:15 > 0:03:18I am auditioning for The X Factor. Yeah. I know.
0:03:18 > 0:03:22And what with the live shows, the winning, the record deal,

0:03:25 > 0:03:26- WHISPERING:- Relief.
0:03:26 > 0:03:30So, I'm going to be leaving you forever.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32Don't cry. So, break off into little groups.
0:03:32 > 0:03:36Console yourselves and write a song about your favourite memories of me.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39But, sir, it's just an audition. You might not even get through.
0:03:39 > 0:03:40GROWLING
0:03:40 > 0:03:43It's all right, Martin. I can't hear her over my talent.

0:04:10 > 0:04:13Breaktime, and the end-of-term excitement has taken hold
0:04:13 > 0:04:15of even the most unlikely of staff.
0:04:15 > 0:04:21THEY CHANT

0:04:35 > 0:04:37Eh?
0:04:37 > 0:04:40- Ask her out. Over the summer. - Ask her...
0:04:41 > 0:04:44I wouldn't know where to take a lady.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46My mum likes dancing.
0:04:46 > 0:04:47Take her dancing.
0:04:50 > 0:04:51Dancing...
0:04:51 > 0:04:53BELL RINGS
0:04:53 > 0:04:57Mr Capp is determined to make his last lesson of term "well fun".
0:04:57 > 0:05:01OK, guys. Call me cray cray...
0:05:01 > 0:05:03but as this is our final lesson,
0:05:03 > 0:05:08I thought we could kick back with some creative writing. Rap!
0:05:08 > 0:05:12So, grab your pens and paper. Or write on your desks!
0:05:12 > 0:05:15Actually, don't write on the desks. I'll get into trouble.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18You can use modern words, guys!
0:05:18 > 0:05:20That is MEGA,
0:05:20 > 0:05:22as far as I'm concerned.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24Oh, Jazzy Jess!
0:05:24 > 0:05:26You've finished already!
0:05:26 > 0:05:28No, that isn't...
0:05:28 > 0:05:31"Mr Capp is such an idiot."
0:05:32 > 0:05:35"Totes can't wait till this day is done,
0:05:35 > 0:05:38"and we don't have to see him for six weeks."
0:05:38 > 0:05:40- Jasmine.- Sorry, sir. I didn't mean...
0:05:40 > 0:05:42That is a well dench piece of creative writing.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45- Even if I did get boyed. Do you get me?- No.
0:05:45 > 0:05:49Besides, we all know it's bants, because I will be seeing you
0:05:49 > 0:05:52down at the skate park every day this summer.
0:05:52 > 0:05:56Ohhh!
0:05:56 > 0:05:57Psych!
0:06:01 > 0:06:02Banter.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07In the music room, Mr Christopher is having one last practice,
0:06:07 > 0:06:10before leaving for his X Factor audition.
0:06:10 > 0:06:16# And I'm singing low, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, really low
0:06:16 > 0:06:17# Yeah, really low. #
0:06:17 > 0:06:19It's not my strongest.
0:06:19 > 0:06:23# Oh, yeah, I like singing high, yeah. #
0:06:23 > 0:06:25Can I have this footage for my internet channel?
0:06:27 > 0:06:30At least maths teacher Mr Konnundrum can be relied upon
0:06:30 > 0:06:34to deliver a proper lesson even on the last day of term.
0:06:34 > 0:06:40So, if a man has been working very hard at school or work,
0:06:40 > 0:06:46but probably school, and decides to take a holiday,
0:06:46 > 0:06:51his flight to Ibiza leaves at 5:30pm...
0:06:52 > 0:06:56..it takes 45 minutes to get to the airport...
0:06:59 > 0:07:03..and he must check in at least two hours before the flight...
0:07:05 > 0:07:09..what time does the man have to leave his place of work
0:07:09 > 0:07:10to get there?
0:07:10 > 0:07:12- Yes, Tahj.- 2:45pm, sir.
0:07:12 > 0:07:17Wrong. Because he's got access to the first class lounge,
0:07:17 > 0:07:20and he's going right now. Woohoo!
0:07:21 > 0:07:26Quiet reading. Holidays, here I come!
0:07:26 > 0:07:28Have a nice holiday, sir!
0:07:30 > 0:07:35Lunchtime, and Mrs Tucker is causing a stir in the canteen.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37Get your bargains 'ere! Rock bottom prices.
0:07:37 > 0:07:42Pound a pound, one day only. Everything must go!
0:07:42 > 0:07:45- What's going on, Miss?- Hello, boys. It's me closing down sale.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47Got to shift this stock ahead of summer break.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49- Can I have two of those, please, Miss?- Sylv!
0:07:49 > 0:07:53- Two joints of gammon for the lady. - OK, Ange.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56- What can I do you for? - What have you got?- What ain't I got?
0:07:56 > 0:08:01Leg of lamb. 20 sack of spuds. Contents of a chest freezer.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04- I'll take it. There might be some pies in there.- Done.
0:08:04 > 0:08:05You only just missed out on
0:08:05 > 0:08:09the 50 cans of tinned peaches I just shifted.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12But Miss, they don't go off. You can just keep them till next term.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14Back in five.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24Sorry, girls. Deal's off.
0:08:32 > 0:08:37In food technology, Miss Davis has pulled out her trump card,
0:08:37 > 0:08:40and is cooking her famous souffle for the final day.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44The word souffle comes from the French verb, souffle,
0:08:44 > 0:08:47which literally means "to blow up."
0:08:47 > 0:08:48PFFFT
0:08:48 > 0:08:50Now, I'm going to check how they're getting along.
0:08:50 > 0:08:54Be careful, if you open your oven door, for the puff of hot air.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57It's very unpleasant if it gets you in the face.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59PFFFT
0:09:01 > 0:09:04Oh, my goodness. Who did that?
0:09:04 > 0:09:06Who just fired a stink torpedo?
0:09:06 > 0:09:09Billy, did you just do that trouser cough?
0:09:09 > 0:09:10Uh...
0:09:10 > 0:09:12Yeah, Miss.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15How rude to do a cheek flapper in my class!
0:09:15 > 0:09:17I don't come to your house
0:09:17 > 0:09:19and leave an air biscuit in your kitchen.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21What? But you always...
0:09:21 > 0:09:23I don't bottom blast while you're doing your homework.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25Yeah, but you bottom blast when I...
0:09:25 > 0:09:28I don't leave guff nuggets in your lunchbox.
0:09:28 > 0:09:29No, but you always...
0:09:29 > 0:09:33And you let out a backdoor breeze, a one-cheek sneak!
0:09:33 > 0:09:38A stink bomb, a honker, a whoompus, an invert burp, a one-gun salute!
0:09:38 > 0:09:41- As if it happens every day! - But it does happen...
0:09:41 > 0:09:43every day.
0:09:43 > 0:09:47- Yeah, fine. Excuse me. - Thank you for apologising.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52Now, where were we? Oh, yes.
0:09:52 > 0:09:56Open your oven doors, and prepare for the backdraught.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58PFFFT
0:10:00 > 0:10:02The last lesson of the day is drama,
0:10:02 > 0:10:06and Sir Stanley is taking his curtain call.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09The day hath arriven, the hour is nigh,
0:10:09 > 0:10:12Lady Time hath ridden her clockwork horsie
0:10:12 > 0:10:16to the barren wasteland we call school.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18I think he means it's the end of term.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20Precisely.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22I've been working with you all year,
0:10:22 > 0:10:25and I can now reveal Emily will be joining me
0:10:25 > 0:10:27at the Edinburgh Festival this summer,
0:10:27 > 0:10:31for the performance of my one-man show, The Drama Teacher.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33APPLAUSE
0:10:33 > 0:10:37But, sir, if it's a one-man show, how can Emily be in it?
0:10:37 > 0:10:39HE LAUGHS
0:10:39 > 0:10:41She isn't in it, my dear boy.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44She'll be giving out the flyers, shouting,
0:10:44 > 0:10:48"Come and see this play what with Sir Stanley in! Two stars."
0:10:48 > 0:10:51- But, sir, I'm going on holiday. - Not any more.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54I've spoken with your mother and she agrees.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57Now, for the rest of you, I prepared some vocal warm-ups
0:10:57 > 0:10:59that you can do twice a day all summer.

0:11:24 > 0:11:27and soon the pupils will be able to head home.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30If Mr Barker ever finishes his speech.
0:11:31 > 0:11:37APPLAUSE
0:11:38 > 0:11:42Thank you, Mr Barker, for that fantastic send-off speech.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45The poem you wrote was particularly moving.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47I loved it.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50So, it just leaves me as your deputy head...
0:11:50 > 0:11:52And me as your deputy head.

0:12:27 > 0:12:29I couldn't just leave you without a teacher.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31And besides, those judges wouldn't know talent
0:12:31 > 0:12:33if it hit them in the face.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35Which it did. Which may have been the problem.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38So, class dismissed.
