0:00:04 > 0:00:06'This is the story of Roy O'Brien.

0:00:06 > 0:00:09'He lives in an ordinary house, on an ordinary street.

0:00:09 > 0:00:13'the only trouble is, he doesn't LOOK very ordinary.

0:00:13 > 0:00:15'All Roy really wants is to fit in.

0:00:15 > 0:00:17'But it's very hard to stay out of trouble

0:00:17 > 0:00:20'when you're a cartoon!'

0:00:20 > 0:00:22Ro-o-oy!

0:00:24 > 0:00:26Ro-o-oy!

0:00:28 > 0:00:29Roy!

0:00:36 > 0:00:38ROY!

0:00:38 > 0:00:39He-he!

0:00:41 > 0:00:43'It's getting close to the end of term.

0:00:43 > 0:00:47'And Miss Sherringham has an important announcement to make.'

0:00:47 > 0:00:49- BELL - Whoa, class, before you go.

0:00:49 > 0:00:52Next Monday there will be a big test.

0:00:52 > 0:00:56On all the history, maths, English,

0:00:56 > 0:00:59geography and science that you've done this year so far.

0:00:59 > 0:01:01So you need to start revising.

0:01:01 > 0:01:05Go over all your old books and worksheets.

0:01:05 > 0:01:08- Yes!- ALL: Awww!

0:01:11 > 0:01:12- Can we use calculators?- No.

0:01:12 > 0:01:14- Dictionaries?- No.

0:01:14 > 0:01:17- Atlases?- No.- That spoils it.

0:01:17 > 0:01:23No atlases, no calculators, no dictionaries, no phone-a-friend.

0:01:23 > 0:01:25That's why it's called a test.

0:01:28 > 0:01:31So, as you can see, attendance and punctuality are doing really well.

0:01:31 > 0:01:35And, er, these are the national test results

0:01:35 > 0:01:38for the last few years.

0:01:38 > 0:01:40That was last year, and, if we carry on

0:01:40 > 0:01:44with this level of improvement, this is the projection for this year.

0:01:44 > 0:01:47Whoosht! He-he, yeah.

0:01:47 > 0:01:51To be honest, we take these tables and tests with a large grain of salt.

0:01:51 > 0:01:55But the government wants them, the parents want them,

0:01:55 > 0:01:57so we...play along.

0:01:58 > 0:02:03I mean, OK, so this year we're due to overtake Cromane Junior School

0:02:03 > 0:02:06by 1.75 percentage points.

0:02:07 > 0:02:13But what really matters, is that the kids get a well-rounded education.

0:02:13 > 0:02:18Actually...that would put us in the top ten...

0:02:20 > 0:02:22..nationwide.

0:02:23 > 0:02:25'At parents evening,

0:02:25 > 0:02:30'Maura and Bill finally meet Miss Sherringham face-to-face.'

0:02:32 > 0:02:35So, how do you think Roy will do in his test?

0:02:35 > 0:02:40Well, firstly, his artwork is fresh and inventive

0:02:40 > 0:02:42and he's always helping in our nature class.

0:02:42 > 0:02:44But how's he going to do in his test?

0:02:44 > 0:02:48Roy's a more...hands-on, creative type

0:02:48 > 0:02:52and the test is more focussed on the academic side.

0:02:52 > 0:02:55Yeah, but how's he going to do?

0:02:55 > 0:03:02- Let's say it doesn't go so well, and he IS lagging behind...- Mm.

0:03:02 > 0:03:06We could be looking at some form of classroom support...

0:03:08 > 0:03:10..or holding him back a year.

0:03:10 > 0:03:12So he won't have to leave?

0:03:12 > 0:03:14Er...

0:03:14 > 0:03:15no.

0:03:15 > 0:03:18- So he might?- No.- You hesitated.

0:03:18 > 0:03:21- I didn't!- You did, you said "er." - You said "er...no."

0:03:21 > 0:03:25Well, If Roy buckles down, and tries to concentrate and do his best,

0:03:25 > 0:03:28I'm sure there'll be nothing to worry about.

0:03:32 > 0:03:34His basketball's coming along.

0:03:47 > 0:03:51Roy, you've got to knuckle down this week, and concentrate.

0:03:53 > 0:03:59All this fuss about one measly test. I'VE got an exam - TEN of them!

0:03:59 > 0:04:01- So that means no TV.- What?!

0:04:01 > 0:04:04English, French, maths, biology...

0:04:04 > 0:04:07- Oh, and no computer games.- Ma!

0:04:07 > 0:04:10..IT, textiles...

0:04:10 > 0:04:12fusion cookery...

0:04:12 > 0:04:14neurosurgery...

0:04:14 > 0:04:17cage fighting...

0:04:17 > 0:04:19no-one's listening.

0:04:19 > 0:04:20Oh, that's not fair!

0:04:20 > 0:04:22It's only a test.

0:04:22 > 0:04:25- Look, Miss Sherringham said that if you don't...- Maura, just...

0:04:25 > 0:04:27- What DID she say?- Er...

0:04:28 > 0:04:29Just...

0:04:30 > 0:04:35Just keep your head down this week, love. Just for this week. Promise?

0:04:37 > 0:04:38HE SOBS

0:04:38 > 0:04:41Roy, no! Not over my...

0:04:44 > 0:04:45Maura.

0:04:49 > 0:04:50'It's revision time

0:04:50 > 0:04:53'and all the children are preparing for their big tests.'

0:04:53 > 0:04:58This is how I revise - read books and worksheets twice.

0:04:58 > 0:05:00Summarise.

0:05:02 > 0:05:04Pink highlighter for the important bits,

0:05:04 > 0:05:07yellow for the very, very important bits.

0:05:09 > 0:05:14Transcribe to flash cards. Keep them on you day and night.

0:05:15 > 0:05:20I love tests and quizzes. Millionaire is my favourite.

0:05:20 > 0:05:23But not the first questions, like,

0:05:23 > 0:05:26"Is spaghetti a musical instrument?" or something.

0:05:26 > 0:05:30That's stupid. I mean later on, when you get to questions like,

0:05:30 > 0:05:34"What is the stretch of water between Russia and Alaska?"

0:05:34 > 0:05:35That sort of stuff.

0:05:37 > 0:05:40This is how I revise.

0:05:41 > 0:05:43ROCK MUSIC

0:05:51 > 0:05:54'And this is how Roy revises.'

0:05:54 > 0:05:56FLY BUZZES

0:06:10 > 0:06:11FLY CONTINUES TO BUZZ

0:06:18 > 0:06:20BUZZING CONTINUES

0:06:29 > 0:06:31The Bering Strait.

0:06:33 > 0:06:35Yes!

0:06:35 > 0:06:36Come on.

0:06:50 > 0:06:53Roy, one...

0:06:53 > 0:06:54fly, nil.

0:06:58 > 0:06:59FLY BUZZES

0:07:04 > 0:07:08Even a city environment can be teeming with natural life.

0:07:08 > 0:07:12So just be patient and keep your eyes and your ears open.

0:07:12 > 0:07:16- You don't know what you'll see. - This is the best bit about school -

0:07:16 > 0:07:18When you get to do stuff.

0:07:18 > 0:07:21Not stuck at a desk doing all that thinking malarkey.

0:07:21 > 0:07:24- BIRDS TWITTER - Miss, I hear something.

0:07:24 > 0:07:26What do you hear, Roy?

0:07:26 > 0:07:29I thought I heard chicks, Miss.

0:07:29 > 0:07:30Up there, Miss!

0:07:30 > 0:07:31I think there's a nest!

0:07:31 > 0:07:33Well spotted, Roy.

0:07:33 > 0:07:34Can we see the chicks, Miss?

0:07:34 > 0:07:37No, you don't want to disturb the nest.

0:07:37 > 0:07:39Maybe they're eggs.

0:07:39 > 0:07:40Shall I have a look, Miss?

0:07:40 > 0:07:43No, Roy. It's best not to.

0:07:43 > 0:07:46- Please, Miss!- Just let Roy have a quick look.

0:07:46 > 0:07:50If it's an egg, he could bring it down and show it everybody.

0:07:50 > 0:07:53No, you're not supposed to disturb a nest.

0:07:56 > 0:07:57What's going on?

0:08:01 > 0:08:03What are you all doing outside?

0:08:03 > 0:08:07It's a nature class. Roy found a nest.

0:08:07 > 0:08:10You should all be inside, studying for the exam.

0:08:10 > 0:08:12You've only got this week.

0:08:12 > 0:08:15I was giving them some tips on observation

0:08:15 > 0:08:19before our trip to the... wildlife reserve on Friday.

0:08:19 > 0:08:20It's cancelled.

0:08:20 > 0:08:24ALL: Aw!

0:08:24 > 0:08:25What?!

0:08:25 > 0:08:30I've taken the decision - all school trips are off while the exams are on.

0:08:30 > 0:08:31ALL: Aw!

0:08:31 > 0:08:34I know it's tedious, but...

0:08:34 > 0:08:36my hands are tied.

0:08:36 > 0:08:39Now, come on. Inside, chop-chop.

0:08:39 > 0:08:41Come on, quick.

0:08:46 > 0:08:48Keep off the grass, come on.

0:08:51 > 0:08:53How's it going, Roy?

0:08:53 > 0:08:55Fine, Ma.

0:08:55 > 0:08:57Right, come on, Roy.

0:08:57 > 0:08:58Concentrate.

0:08:58 > 0:09:04- 'Roy, what's up?'- Hi, Jack. - 'You sound glum.'

0:09:04 > 0:09:05I hate this revising!

0:09:05 > 0:09:08I hate this whole test thing!

0:09:08 > 0:09:09I can't wait till it's over.

0:09:09 > 0:09:14'Hey, tests? They're for mugs! You don't need 'em.'

0:09:14 > 0:09:16I don't?

0:09:16 > 0:09:19'Look, if you want to be an accountant...

0:09:19 > 0:09:23'or a dentist or a teacher or something, that's fine.

0:09:23 > 0:09:26'But the real brains? The real talent?'

0:09:27 > 0:09:29'They didn't need to do well in their tests.'

0:09:29 > 0:09:30Didn't they?

0:09:30 > 0:09:33'There's this fella that has his own airline.

0:09:33 > 0:09:35'He didn't even finish school.

0:09:35 > 0:09:37'There's all those premier footballers, too.

0:09:37 > 0:09:40'Most of them are on 100 grand a week.'

0:09:40 > 0:09:43100 grand a week!

0:09:43 > 0:09:46100 grand a week?!

0:09:46 > 0:09:50- 'Do you think they need to do well in their tests?'- No, they don't!

0:09:50 > 0:09:55- 'And there's all them boy band fellas.'- Boy bands? Roy bands!

0:09:55 > 0:09:58'They failed their tests. But they could fill up Wembley, no problem.'

0:09:58 > 0:10:01I could fill Wembley, no problem!

0:10:01 > 0:10:04'Tests are for robots, Roy. Want to be a robot?'

0:10:04 > 0:10:07I don't want to be a robot!

0:10:09 > 0:10:14So that's fractions to decimals. Now let's go over percentages once more.

0:10:14 > 0:10:16Insane, I tell you!

0:10:16 > 0:10:18GIGGLING

0:10:18 > 0:10:21Roy! And Jack!

0:10:23 > 0:10:24Show me.

0:10:43 > 0:10:45I'm worried about Roy.

0:10:45 > 0:10:48He's got to learn to concentrate.

0:10:48 > 0:10:52I just don't think his mind's in the right place at all.

0:10:52 > 0:10:56He'll have to buckle down, one way or another.

0:10:56 > 0:10:58He's such a delightful boy.

0:10:58 > 0:11:02The school would be a blander place if we were to lose him.

0:11:04 > 0:11:07'But Roy's test performance could have a big impact

0:11:07 > 0:11:11'on Mr Hammond's league tables.'

0:11:11 > 0:11:13Some schools weed out the weaker pupils

0:11:13 > 0:11:18who might otherwise undermine their overall exam performance.

0:11:18 > 0:11:23But we, here at Ballyfermot, our first priority is to support them.

0:11:23 > 0:11:28Our league position is very much of secondary concern.

0:11:28 > 0:11:32Even if Roy fails the test across the board -

0:11:32 > 0:11:35even, let's say, he gets straight zeroes.

0:11:35 > 0:11:38It's really not going to affect the, er...

0:11:39 > 0:11:41..affect the...

0:11:44 > 0:11:45Eleventh?

0:12:01 > 0:12:02SHE CLEARS HER THROAT

0:12:02 > 0:12:04Hey, Ma. I was just doing my revising.

0:12:04 > 0:12:07Revising what? Eating sweets?

0:12:07 > 0:12:11- I hate tests, Ma!- I know, love. We all do, but they have to be done.

0:12:11 > 0:12:14You need grades and qualifications to get on in the world.

0:12:14 > 0:12:16Do you want to end up sweeping the streets?

0:12:16 > 0:12:19- Roy, you right?- Coming, Dad.

0:12:19 > 0:12:20Where's he going?

0:12:20 > 0:12:24I'm taking him to the playground. There's a new climbing wall.

0:12:24 > 0:12:27- No, he's not.- It's OK, he said he'd do it the normal way. He won't...

0:12:27 > 0:12:31He's grounded for the weekend. He's got to stay in his room and revise.

0:12:31 > 0:12:33- Get out.- I've put my good jumper on.

0:12:33 > 0:12:36- But, Ma!- What do you want to be when you grow up, Roy?

0:12:36 > 0:12:37Think about it!

0:12:37 > 0:12:38Bill!

0:12:59 > 0:13:01'Roy! How's the revising going?'

0:13:01 > 0:13:04- How do you think? - 'Yeah, thought so. Me, too.'

0:13:04 > 0:13:08'Fancy meeting me over at the shopping centre? Ten minutes?'

0:13:08 > 0:13:12'Just hang out for a while. I need a break - a long break.'

0:13:12 > 0:13:15I'm grounded, Jack. I need to revise!

0:13:15 > 0:13:17'Roy, what kind of excuse is that?'

0:13:17 > 0:13:19But...

0:13:19 > 0:13:22'Fine. Fine. Robot.'

0:13:22 > 0:13:25Wait. OK, Jack. Ten minutes.

0:13:30 > 0:13:321066.

0:13:34 > 0:13:35Yes!

0:13:36 > 0:13:39OK, another one. Another one.

0:13:48 > 0:13:51- Roy! - ROY PANTS

0:13:51 > 0:13:52Sh! Sh!

0:13:54 > 0:13:55Where are you going?

0:13:55 > 0:13:58- To the shopping centre. - What are you going to do?

0:13:58 > 0:14:01Just chill with Jack, you know?

0:14:01 > 0:14:03Chill?

0:14:03 > 0:14:06Yeah, chill, Tommy. Catch up, would you?

0:14:06 > 0:14:11Roy, are you crazy? We've got a test tomorrow!

0:14:11 > 0:14:14Be there, or be a robot, Tommy.

0:14:14 > 0:14:17'Tom-my ro-bot. Tom-my ro-bot.'

0:14:17 > 0:14:21'Tom-my ro-bot. Tom-my ro-bot.'

0:14:21 > 0:14:23But, Roy!

0:14:25 > 0:14:28He's got to pass his tests, and all the other exams he's got coming.

0:14:28 > 0:14:30All I'm saying is that a young boy

0:14:30 > 0:14:33shouldn't be cooped up in his room, like that, all weekend.

0:14:33 > 0:14:36I don't like it, either. But it's the system, OK?

0:14:36 > 0:14:39I don't want to see Roy disadvantaged.

0:14:39 > 0:14:41I mean, if he can't stay at Ballyfermot...

0:14:41 > 0:14:43- She never said that.- Yeah...

0:14:43 > 0:14:45but it's at the back of their minds.

0:14:45 > 0:14:47I know it.

0:14:47 > 0:14:49Your turn.

0:14:49 > 0:14:52- My turn for what? - To keep an eye on him!

0:14:52 > 0:14:57We've got to keep on his case all the time, now.

0:14:58 > 0:14:59Now...

0:15:01 > 0:15:03Roy?

0:15:31 > 0:15:32Well? How's he getting on?

0:15:32 > 0:15:36- Mm? He... He's fine, yeah. - You don't seem so sure.

0:15:36 > 0:15:39- I'll go and check.- Ah, no, no, no.

0:15:39 > 0:15:44Look. He... He said to me that if we don't... If we keep interrupting him

0:15:44 > 0:15:46he won't get much done.

0:15:46 > 0:15:49We... We just need to cut him some slack.

0:15:50 > 0:15:53- Yeah.- Some slack, yeah.- Yeah. OK.

0:15:54 > 0:15:55OK.

0:15:55 > 0:15:56Where are you going?

0:15:56 > 0:16:01- I'm going to look for him. Er... I'm going to look...for...ha?- Mm?

0:16:02 > 0:16:04Yeah. Er, OK. Won't be long.

0:16:15 > 0:16:17See, Roy. Aren't you glad we came?

0:16:17 > 0:16:19Oh, yeah, yeah.

0:16:19 > 0:16:22Just think - we could be stuck at home.

0:16:22 > 0:16:24I hate this whole test thing.

0:16:25 > 0:16:27Hey, Jack. What's going on?

0:16:27 > 0:16:29We're just hanging out.

0:16:29 > 0:16:31Roy? What are YOU doing here?

0:16:31 > 0:16:33I'm hanging, too.

0:16:33 > 0:16:37Thought you'd be at home, swotting-up for the test.

0:16:37 > 0:16:39You of all people.

0:16:39 > 0:16:41You've got all that catch-up to do.

0:16:41 > 0:16:43Hey! I'm not bothered.

0:16:43 > 0:16:48What's Mr Hammond going to say when you get all zeroes?

0:16:48 > 0:16:52Jack and me, we're not worried about tests. We're different.

0:16:52 > 0:16:56We're mavericks. We think outside the box.

0:16:56 > 0:16:59Ah, well. Send us a postcard.

0:16:59 > 0:17:05- What do you mean?- Such a shame, just when you were settling in and all.

0:17:05 > 0:17:07Keep in touch, now. OK?

0:17:08 > 0:17:11See, there's special schools.

0:17:11 > 0:17:16- Special schools?- For kids who can't hack it, who have learning problems.

0:17:16 > 0:17:21- Fail all their tests.- I'm not going to any special school.

0:17:21 > 0:17:24It's not that bad. You get to sleep in dorms.

0:17:24 > 0:17:27And...you have to get up at five every morning.

0:17:27 > 0:17:30they have CCTV cameras...everywhere.

0:17:30 > 0:17:34- And, er, I hope you like gruel. - What's gruel?

0:17:34 > 0:17:37They let your parents visit once a year.

0:17:40 > 0:17:44Anyway, it's probably not going to happen. Shouldn't have mentioned it.

0:17:53 > 0:17:54Roy?

0:17:56 > 0:17:57Right, Roy. Revision.

0:17:57 > 0:17:59Here we go.

0:18:01 > 0:18:03How's it going, Roy?

0:18:03 > 0:18:07- Can't stop and talk, Dad. Got to do my geography revision.- Oh.

0:18:07 > 0:18:08Right, yeah.

0:18:13 > 0:18:15Australia, is it?

0:18:17 > 0:18:19Dad...it was just for five minutes.

0:18:19 > 0:18:21I needed fresh air.

0:18:21 > 0:18:24- Don't tell Ma. - Will you calm down, Son.

0:18:25 > 0:18:26She doesn't have to know.

0:18:26 > 0:18:31I went looking for you because there'd be blue murder if she knew.

0:18:31 > 0:18:33Just don't do it again. OK?

0:18:33 > 0:18:35Oh, yeah, yeah.

0:18:35 > 0:18:38Roy! Promise me you'll give it your best shot.

0:18:38 > 0:18:40All right?

0:18:41 > 0:18:43And that'll keep her happy.

0:18:44 > 0:18:45That's all we can ask for.

0:18:49 > 0:18:51DOG BARKS

0:19:16 > 0:19:18HEY! Come on!

0:19:35 > 0:19:37Tommy?

0:19:37 > 0:19:40- 'Roy.'- I don't want to sweep the streets.

0:19:40 > 0:19:43- 'What?'- I don't want to eat gruel.

0:19:43 > 0:19:45'Roy, what are you on about?'

0:19:45 > 0:19:47I'm going to fail the test!

0:19:47 > 0:19:49And they're going to kick me out.

0:19:49 > 0:19:50You've GOT to help me.

0:19:50 > 0:19:52'You left it too late, Roy.

0:19:52 > 0:19:55'If you hadn't spent all afternoon bunking off, then we could...'

0:19:55 > 0:19:58Thanks, Tommy. I knew you wouldn't let me down.

0:20:00 > 0:20:01You've got ten minutes.

0:20:01 > 0:20:05All these books, all these maps, all these tables!

0:20:05 > 0:20:07They're doing my head in.

0:20:07 > 0:20:09I don't know where to start.

0:20:09 > 0:20:13Try to calm down. It might not be as bad as we think.

0:20:13 > 0:20:15Let's go through some stuff.

0:20:16 > 0:20:19What's three quarters as a percentage?

0:20:20 > 0:20:22OK, forget maths.

0:20:24 > 0:20:26How do we get rainfall?

0:20:28 > 0:20:31What's the capital of Finland?

0:20:32 > 0:20:35What vegetables contain folic acid?

0:20:36 > 0:20:39Roy. Hello? Are you there?

0:20:40 > 0:20:43Huh! What happened?

0:20:44 > 0:20:47- It's worse than we think. - What'd I do?

0:20:47 > 0:20:52I've been looking at these books all week and my eyes are like this.

0:20:52 > 0:20:54Yeah, but that's no good on its own.

0:20:54 > 0:20:58It's going straight in and out the other side.

0:20:58 > 0:21:01You've got to digest the information.

0:21:01 > 0:21:02Mm.

0:21:02 > 0:21:08- Digest?- Yeah. Chew it, absorb it, swallow it. Like we do with food.

0:21:10 > 0:21:11So...

0:21:11 > 0:21:15If I did... I don't know... This?

0:21:21 > 0:21:23Roy, what are you doing?

0:21:31 > 0:21:32OK. Test me.

0:21:32 > 0:21:36- Roy, it doesn't work like that. - Test me!

0:21:36 > 0:21:39- What's the capital of Finland? - Helsinki.

0:21:39 > 0:21:41Whoa! It works!

0:21:47 > 0:21:48Mm-mm.

0:21:53 > 0:21:59Er, what's the name of the ship that got sunk by the iceberg in 1912?

0:21:59 > 0:22:00Titanic!

0:22:00 > 0:22:01Whoa!

0:22:01 > 0:22:03What causes Bubonic Plague?

0:22:03 > 0:22:04The rat flea.

0:22:04 > 0:22:08Right again! What vegetables contain folic acid?

0:22:08 > 0:22:11Broccoli, sprouts, cabbage!

0:22:11 > 0:22:14This is great. Try me on my geography.

0:22:14 > 0:22:17Er...what causes rainfall?

0:22:17 > 0:22:20Evaporation, condensation and precipitation.

0:22:20 > 0:22:22- Cracked!- Oh, try me on my spellings.

0:22:22 > 0:22:26I told you we should have that Tommy Byrne around more often.

0:22:26 > 0:22:28Did you not give him anything to eat today?

0:22:28 > 0:22:29Chrysanthemum.

0:22:29 > 0:22:32C-H-R... Oh, just give me a hard one, will you?

0:22:32 > 0:22:33'It's Monday

0:22:33 > 0:22:37'and, for Miss Sherringham's class, it's the big day at last.'

0:22:37 > 0:22:41OK, everyone. When I say go, you can open your test sheets.

0:22:42 > 0:22:45Remember, there's no talking.

0:22:45 > 0:22:50Read the questions carefully and write your name on the paper.

0:22:53 > 0:22:59- (Roy, have you gained weight?) - Been eating all them pies, Roy?

0:22:59 > 0:23:01Good luck, everyone.

0:23:01 > 0:23:05Never mind special schools. More like you're heading for fat camp.

0:23:05 > 0:23:08Your time starts now.

0:23:08 > 0:23:13Right, here we go. Name. Piece of cake!

0:23:13 > 0:23:15Bring it on!

0:23:15 > 0:23:16Sh.

0:23:16 > 0:23:18Sorry, Miss, yeah, sorry.

0:23:18 > 0:23:19ROY'S STOMACH RUMBLES

0:23:19 > 0:23:20Ooh.

0:23:20 > 0:23:23What was that?

0:23:23 > 0:23:25Right. First question.

0:23:25 > 0:23:28"What causes Bubonic Plague?"

0:23:28 > 0:23:30Hey! I know this.

0:23:30 > 0:23:32Helsinki!

0:23:32 > 0:23:33Er, what?

0:23:33 > 0:23:35That isn't right.

0:23:35 > 0:23:41"What's the name of the ship that hit an iceberg in 1912?"

0:23:41 > 0:23:44Broccoli, sprouts and cabbage.

0:23:44 > 0:23:46That isn't right, either!

0:23:46 > 0:23:47Er...

0:23:47 > 0:23:50"What's the capital of Finland?"

0:23:50 > 0:23:52Chrysanthemum.

0:23:52 > 0:23:53What?

0:23:53 > 0:23:56"Express two over three as a decimal."

0:23:56 > 0:23:58Er...

0:23:59 > 0:24:01Oh, no!

0:24:04 > 0:24:07ALL: Ahh!

0:24:08 > 0:24:09Roy!

0:24:09 > 0:24:10My papers!

0:24:10 > 0:24:14Roy, please! Try not to disturb the other pupils.

0:24:14 > 0:24:16Sorry, Miss.

0:24:17 > 0:24:19I can't do it.

0:24:19 > 0:24:20Help!

0:24:37 > 0:24:38(Roy, no!)

0:24:39 > 0:24:40Ew, gross!

0:24:40 > 0:24:43- Roy, what are you doing? - Nothing, Miss.

0:24:43 > 0:24:45Tommy, what happened?

0:24:45 > 0:24:47Er...nothing.

0:24:47 > 0:24:51Class, I must remind you - every time you talk or interrupt,

0:24:51 > 0:24:53you're wasting valuable time.

0:24:53 > 0:24:55(Psst! Jack!)

0:24:55 > 0:24:57(Roy, what's up?)

0:24:57 > 0:25:01(Can you get a worse score than zero?)

0:25:01 > 0:25:02(Help!)

0:25:02 > 0:25:06(OK. I've got an idea. Spoil your test.)

0:25:06 > 0:25:07What?

0:25:07 > 0:25:10(Yeah. Happened to a kid last year.)

0:25:10 > 0:25:12(His pen broke. Ink went all over his test.)

0:25:12 > 0:25:15(They couldn't read it, so they just gave him an average.)

0:25:15 > 0:25:18Jack? Roy?

0:25:18 > 0:25:19Sorry, Miss.

0:25:21 > 0:25:24Oh, dear. That was careless.

0:25:25 > 0:25:26Oops.

0:25:29 > 0:25:31And it's STILL leaking!

0:25:31 > 0:25:34Right, class. Time's almost up.

0:25:34 > 0:25:36start checking your answers.

0:25:36 > 0:25:38Miss. I think my pen's...

0:25:38 > 0:25:39ROY'S STOMACH RUMBLES

0:25:39 > 0:25:41- PPPPFFFRRTT! - Ooh.

0:25:43 > 0:25:46Ooh. I think I've a bit of a stomach ache.

0:25:46 > 0:25:48Anyway. Miss, my pen.

0:25:48 > 0:25:49- PPPPFFFRRTT! - Oof!

0:25:49 > 0:25:51OK, Roy. We're nearly finished now.

0:25:52 > 0:25:54Just hang in there.

0:25:56 > 0:25:57HE BURPS

0:25:57 > 0:25:58He did it again!

0:26:00 > 0:26:01Did you see that?

0:26:01 > 0:26:03Class, just settle down, now.

0:26:03 > 0:26:05ROY BURPS

0:26:05 > 0:26:06What was that?

0:26:06 > 0:26:09Roy, if you're really not feeling well...

0:26:10 > 0:26:13OK, just...continue with your papers.

0:26:13 > 0:26:15I'm going to bring Roy down to the...

0:26:20 > 0:26:21Roy!

0:26:22 > 0:26:24Ahh, that's MUCH better now.

0:26:32 > 0:26:37The bad news, Roy, is, I'm afraid we're unable to mark your test paper.

0:26:37 > 0:26:39Aw, I'm gutted. I was on such a roll, Miss.

0:26:39 > 0:26:41Really, Roy?

0:26:41 > 0:26:45Normally, we'd grade you merely an average.

0:26:45 > 0:26:46Average? Tsh! Average!

0:26:46 > 0:26:49But, following the incident earlier on...

0:26:49 > 0:26:53Yeah, well I think I had a bit of indigestion.

0:26:53 > 0:26:58..which resulted in the entire class' papers being spoilt...

0:26:58 > 0:27:02the test board are kindly arranging for us to take the entire test again

0:27:02 > 0:27:03in two weeks' time.

0:27:03 > 0:27:04ROY GASPS

0:27:04 > 0:27:07That's good news, isn't it, Miss Sherringham?

0:27:07 > 0:27:10I can't contain my delight.

0:27:10 > 0:27:11So, I'm delighted, Roy,

0:27:11 > 0:27:14that you'll be able to show us what you're made of.

0:27:14 > 0:27:18So you've got two whole weeks... to really get your head down.

0:27:19 > 0:27:23AHHH!
