0:00:02 > 0:00:03APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

0:00:03 > 0:00:05And now welcome to the floor, Martha Fitzgerald

0:00:05 > 0:00:07and her partner dancing the tango.

0:00:07 > 0:00:08MUSIC STARTS

0:00:10 > 0:00:11This isn't my music.

0:00:11 > 0:00:12MUSIC STOPS

0:00:18 > 0:00:21Oh, no! I'm wearing my slippers.

0:00:23 > 0:00:25Stop it, this is your fault!

0:00:25 > 0:00:27Martha, you cannot dance the tango.

0:00:27 > 0:00:29- Sorry, Mum.- Mum?

0:00:29 > 0:00:30I mean Miss.

0:00:30 > 0:00:31SHE LAUGHS

0:00:32 > 0:00:33You called me Mum!

0:00:36 > 0:00:38By the way, here's your essay back.

0:00:45 > 0:00:47Oh, thank goodness.

0:00:56 > 0:00:58# Ah-ha-ha

0:00:58 > 0:01:00# Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

0:01:00 > 0:01:02# Ooh!

0:01:02 > 0:01:03# So

0:01:03 > 0:01:05# So

0:01:07 > 0:01:09# Ooh-hoo-ooh-hoo-ooh-hoo

0:01:10 > 0:01:13# Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

0:01:14 > 0:01:17# So, so, so

0:01:18 > 0:01:20# So

0:01:20 > 0:01:23# So awkward! #

0:01:24 > 0:01:28Gates to school entrance, 24 seconds.

0:01:28 > 0:01:31I can't believe Footsteps To Success is nearly complete.

0:01:31 > 0:01:33Just as Captain James Cook mapped the Pacific,

0:01:33 > 0:01:35so we map Cranmede Secondary,

0:01:35 > 0:01:39recording the shortest journey times for every possible route in school.

0:01:39 > 0:01:42Let's go to the library and divide up today's routes.

0:01:44 > 0:01:47- Where are you going?- To the library.

0:01:47 > 0:01:50But route 39 is the quickest way, we timed it last week.

0:01:50 > 0:01:52- But I want to go this way.- Why?

0:01:52 > 0:01:56I don't know! I just feel like it and sometimes, Olly,

0:01:56 > 0:01:58people get feelings.

0:01:58 > 0:02:01But I thought we used to disapprove of those people.

0:02:04 > 0:02:07Mrs Griggs, do I need to remind you of the no dawdling in the corridor

0:02:07 > 0:02:09- rule?- Ssh! Look.

0:02:09 > 0:02:13I've heard about them but I've never seen them in the wild before.

0:02:13 > 0:02:14Aren't they beautiful?

0:02:17 > 0:02:19- Oh!- Sorry.

0:02:19 > 0:02:20Oh, don't worry.

0:02:20 > 0:02:23Well, I'd better get to class.

0:02:23 > 0:02:26Actually I've been meaning to ask whether you'd like to join me for

0:02:26 > 0:02:28una tazza di cafe.

0:02:29 > 0:02:31That is cup of coffee in Italian.

0:02:31 > 0:02:33Good of you, I'm all right, thanks.

0:02:33 > 0:02:35Are you sure? I have all the flavours.

0:02:35 > 0:02:37Caramelito, vanillalito.

0:02:37 > 0:02:40Peppermint litatitalito.

0:02:40 > 0:02:42I really should get going.

0:02:42 > 0:02:45- Your shoes!- Sorry?

0:02:45 > 0:02:49I couldn't help noticing your shoes and I wanted to ask...

0:02:49 > 0:02:53Whether you think they are appropriate footwear for the school?

0:02:53 > 0:02:55Just ignore Mrs Rennison.

0:02:55 > 0:02:58We both think your shoes are just wicked.

0:02:58 > 0:03:01- Phew.- I thought I was going to be arrested by the shoe police.

0:03:01 > 0:03:03SHE LAUGHS

0:03:04 > 0:03:07Can I just remind you, Mrs Griggs,

0:03:07 > 0:03:10that when Mrs Wardle went to Canada on her holidays,

0:03:10 > 0:03:13then came to school dressed as a lumberjack,

0:03:13 > 0:03:16you had her in for a disciplinary meeting.

0:03:18 > 0:03:20That's right, I did.

0:03:20 > 0:03:22I'm afraid I must insist that

0:03:22 > 0:03:26we have a meeting in my office tomorrow, Miss Parfitt.

0:03:26 > 0:03:29Am I allowed to wear the shoes until then?

0:03:29 > 0:03:31Should they be quarantined?

0:03:32 > 0:03:33Perhaps you'd like me to burn them.

0:03:38 > 0:03:41I'm having a coffee with Miss Parfitt.

0:03:44 > 0:03:47Martha, I've been crunching the numbers.

0:03:47 > 0:03:49The route that we took to the library this morning

0:03:49 > 0:03:51was seven seconds longer than the quickest route.

0:03:51 > 0:03:54Working on an average of four trips to the library each week,

0:03:54 > 0:03:59that is an extra 28 seconds per week, or 112 seconds per month.

0:03:59 > 0:04:01Allowing for school holidays

0:04:01 > 0:04:03and taken over our entire school career,

0:04:03 > 0:04:09this amounts to 7,532 seconds, or 125.5 minutes.

0:04:09 > 0:04:12Fascinating, Olly. What is your point?

0:04:12 > 0:04:15My point is that your behaviour this morning was totally irrational.

0:04:15 > 0:04:17Take that back!

0:04:17 > 0:04:19The figures are there in black and white and, unlike you,

0:04:19 > 0:04:21maths would never behave erratically.

0:04:25 > 0:04:28Maths wouldn't do that either.

0:04:28 > 0:04:32Look, I didn't mean to call you irrational.

0:04:32 > 0:04:36I'm sure it's just a freak incident, like that time I scored a rounder.

0:04:37 > 0:04:39Homework on my desk, please.

0:04:43 > 0:04:45Olly, it's not there.

0:04:45 > 0:04:46What do you mean it's not there?

0:04:46 > 0:04:47I must have forgotten it.

0:04:48 > 0:04:51Forgotten it, you?

0:04:51 > 0:04:55Well, I was checking the contents of my bag against my morning checklist

0:04:55 > 0:04:56but then a bird landed on the windowsill

0:04:56 > 0:04:58and it just looked so cold and

0:04:58 > 0:05:02fragile, I must have got distracted and forgot to put my homework in my

0:05:02 > 0:05:07- bag.- You let a chilly bird distract you from homework?

0:05:08 > 0:05:15Miss Parfitt? I'm very sorry but I've...

0:05:15 > 0:05:17..forgotten my homework.

0:05:17 > 0:05:21Oh, well, bring it tomorrow, please.

0:05:21 > 0:05:23But what will I forget next?

0:05:23 > 0:05:25That the average lifespan of an otter is ten years?

0:05:25 > 0:05:28Or that Venus is the only planet that spins clockwise?

0:05:28 > 0:05:32I mean, where will it end?

0:05:32 > 0:05:36I can deduct a house point if it would make you feel better.

0:05:39 > 0:05:41- What's wrong with Martha? - I'm not sure,

0:05:41 > 0:05:45but if she was a computer I would be thinking total motherboard failure.

0:05:50 > 0:05:55Martha, I know I'm a thousand years old but I do remember what it feels

0:05:55 > 0:05:58like to be your age when your hormones are raging.

0:05:58 > 0:06:00Sorry, what?

0:06:00 > 0:06:03Hormones, that is what is happening to you now.

0:06:03 > 0:06:04It's nothing to worry about.

0:06:04 > 0:06:06It's just you might find yourself forgetting

0:06:06 > 0:06:08things, being irrational and emotional,

0:06:08 > 0:06:10just, you know, not acting logically.

0:06:12 > 0:06:15And that's the moment I burst into tears.

0:06:15 > 0:06:18Weird, I've been feeling the same.

0:06:18 > 0:06:20The other day I cried at an advert for lawnmowers.

0:06:20 > 0:06:22That's hormones!

0:06:22 > 0:06:24Wow!

0:06:24 > 0:06:27I have been feeling a lot more mature recently.

0:06:27 > 0:06:29So it would make sense.

0:06:30 > 0:06:32Being mature must make you feel...

0:06:32 > 0:06:34- Irrational.- Sort of churned up.

0:06:35 > 0:06:37Jas, how do you feel?

0:06:40 > 0:06:42Sort of fine.

0:06:42 > 0:06:46You don't need to lie, we are all women here.

0:06:46 > 0:06:48How do you really feel?

0:06:48 > 0:06:51I feel...

0:06:51 > 0:06:56Rubbish. I feel like a bin that's just been emptied.

0:06:58 > 0:07:01A bin that's just been emptied.

0:07:01 > 0:07:03Yeah, exactly.

0:07:03 > 0:07:05Deep.

0:07:05 > 0:07:08When Miss Parfitt was a teenager she lost her appetite

0:07:08 > 0:07:11and didn't come out of her room for two whole weeks

0:07:11 > 0:07:14and would only wear black. It's brutal.

0:07:15 > 0:07:16It's womanhood.

0:07:17 > 0:07:19It's hormones.

0:07:25 > 0:07:27Ta-da.

0:07:27 > 0:07:29Isn't carrot cake clever?

0:07:29 > 0:07:32It's both carrot and cake at the same time.

0:07:32 > 0:07:36Now, one slice or two?

0:07:39 > 0:07:40I don't want any.

0:07:42 > 0:07:46I'm going to my room and I'm going to change into black, all black!

0:07:52 > 0:07:55We knew this day would come, didn't we, cakey?

0:07:55 > 0:07:56Hormones.

0:08:04 > 0:08:07Mother, I have something to tell you.

0:08:07 > 0:08:09Not an A-minus?

0:08:09 > 0:08:11We'll demand a recount, we'll sue! We'll...

0:08:11 > 0:08:13No, it's not an A-minus.

0:08:13 > 0:08:14Phew.

0:08:15 > 0:08:16It's worse.

0:08:18 > 0:08:23I, Martha Fitzgerald, am suffering from hormones.

0:08:23 > 0:08:25SHE LAUGHS

0:08:29 > 0:08:31Don't be so silly, darling.

0:08:31 > 0:08:33We are Fitzgeralds.

0:08:33 > 0:08:37And Fitzgerald women are slaves to no-one, least of all hormones.

0:08:37 > 0:08:39Fetch the sauce, would you, darling?

0:08:39 > 0:08:41They sent a different brand this time.

0:08:43 > 0:08:45This one has anchovies in it.

0:08:45 > 0:08:47Yes, but you can't really taste them.

0:08:47 > 0:08:50You know how much I hate anchovies!

0:08:52 > 0:08:56Oh, no. It can't be.

0:08:57 > 0:08:59Hormones!

0:09:05 > 0:09:07Don't look at me, Brian. I'm as bored as you are.

0:09:07 > 0:09:09PHONE RINGS

0:09:09 > 0:09:10Hi, Lily, how are you?

0:09:10 > 0:09:14- Awful.- Oh, me too.

0:09:14 > 0:09:16Dad tried to make me eat carrot cake.

0:09:16 > 0:09:19Dads, eh? Doesn't he know I'm hormonal?

0:09:19 > 0:09:22I sent Rob a text and he hasn't replied.

0:09:22 > 0:09:26I mean, who cares that it had orange cream cheese icing?

0:09:26 > 0:09:28Doesn't he realise I'm suffering from hormones?

0:09:28 > 0:09:31I mean, carrot cake wouldn't even be in my top five.

0:09:31 > 0:09:34It is chocolate fudge, lemon drizzle, then...

0:09:34 > 0:09:36Jas, are you even listening?

0:09:36 > 0:09:38I sent Rob a text and he hasn't replied.

0:09:38 > 0:09:41Oh, how long ago did you send it?

0:09:41 > 0:09:45I don't know about four hours, seven minutes and 28 seconds.

0:09:45 > 0:09:48Everything is awful.

0:09:48 > 0:09:51Oh, yeah, totally awful.

0:09:57 > 0:10:01Welcome to this specially convened crisis meeting.

0:10:01 > 0:10:06As you'll see, we have only one item on the agenda, Martha's hormones.

0:10:06 > 0:10:07Mother, what are you doing?

0:10:07 > 0:10:11Now, Stephen, you've been working on a worst-case scenario projection.

0:10:13 > 0:10:18"For every incident of hormonal activity we predict a 2% drop in the

0:10:18 > 0:10:22"likelihood that Martha will be CEO of a multinational company."

0:10:22 > 0:10:23Chilling.

0:10:23 > 0:10:26Do you think Captain James Cook's mother behaved like this?

0:10:26 > 0:10:28Who is Captain James Cook?

0:10:28 > 0:10:31He is not...a boyfriend, is he?

0:10:31 > 0:10:33That's the hormones, Martha, don't listen to them!

0:10:33 > 0:10:36I don't have time for this, I've got ground-breaking work to do.

0:10:36 > 0:10:38Martha, don't forget your papers.

0:10:40 > 0:10:41What's he Captain of, darling?

0:10:41 > 0:10:44Not football? Anything but football!

0:10:47 > 0:10:51Mrs Rennison, I shall need some biscuits for my coffee date

0:10:51 > 0:10:52with Miss Parfitt.

0:10:52 > 0:10:54Don't you mean your disciplinary meeting?

0:10:54 > 0:10:56Honestly, you really should lighten up.

0:10:56 > 0:10:58I mean who are you? The shoe police?

0:10:58 > 0:10:59SHE LAUGHS

0:11:01 > 0:11:04Did you know that Miss Parfitt is setting up a street dance class?

0:11:04 > 0:11:07I didn't. How very modern of her.

0:11:07 > 0:11:10Which is why I can't possibly give here these.

0:11:10 > 0:11:13Miss Parfitt is not a digestive sort of person,

0:11:13 > 0:11:15she is more of a brandy snap.

0:11:15 > 0:11:17She might even be a Viennese whirl.

0:11:17 > 0:11:22Mrs Griggs, are you trying to make her your "best fwend"?

0:11:22 > 0:11:24Of course not. Now, what do you

0:11:24 > 0:11:27think of chocolate-encrusted Florentines?

0:11:27 > 0:11:28Yes.

0:11:31 > 0:11:32Hi, guys.

0:11:34 > 0:11:38- Hey, budge up.- No room, sorry.

0:11:38 > 0:11:40Oh, OK.

0:11:40 > 0:11:41I guess I'll sit over there, then.

0:11:43 > 0:11:47Fine. I mean, if that's what you want.

0:11:47 > 0:11:50OK.

0:11:50 > 0:11:52Honestly, can you believe him?

0:11:52 > 0:11:57He's trying to act as if everything is totally normal when it has been

0:11:57 > 0:11:5921 hours, four minutes and 17 seconds

0:11:59 > 0:12:02and he still has not replied to my

0:12:02 > 0:12:04text. It wasn't just any old text.

0:12:04 > 0:12:06I asked him a really important question.

0:12:06 > 0:12:09- And what was that?- What is his favourite pizza topping?

0:12:09 > 0:12:10HE LAUGHS

0:12:13 > 0:12:15But he was just right here, you could have asked him, then.

0:12:15 > 0:12:16That is so not the point,

0:12:16 > 0:12:20and as a mature woman I thought you'd get that.

0:12:20 > 0:12:22Oh, yeah. I mean, totally.

0:12:27 > 0:12:31Oh, these? Just something I picked up from a French bakery.

0:12:31 > 0:12:32KNOCK ON DOOR

0:12:32 > 0:12:35I don't care what happens to me, just go easy on the shoes.

0:12:35 > 0:12:37"Go easy on the shoes."

0:12:37 > 0:12:40Oh, Vicky, I'm sure we can overlook the shoes issue.

0:12:40 > 0:12:41Oh, good.

0:12:41 > 0:12:43As long as you let me try them on.

0:12:44 > 0:12:47I can understand this happening to Lily and Jas,

0:12:47 > 0:12:49but I expected better from Martha.

0:12:49 > 0:12:51What's up with Martha?

0:12:51 > 0:12:52What's up with Martha?

0:12:52 > 0:12:55Well, I'll tell you what's up with Martha.

0:12:55 > 0:12:57Things that make Martha sad.

0:12:57 > 0:13:00Rainbows, paint, the Queen, the colour orange.

0:13:00 > 0:13:02Things that make her angry.

0:13:02 > 0:13:04Bacon, France, puppies and hats, clouds.

0:13:04 > 0:13:08Until she can be trusted to act rationally you will be my assistant

0:13:08 > 0:13:12on Footsteps To Success.

0:13:12 > 0:13:14No, no, no, there's no need to thank me,

0:13:14 > 0:13:18just report to mine tonight for a data session.

0:13:18 > 0:13:19Oh, that's just what I need,

0:13:19 > 0:13:23a sheet of graph paper and the soothing balm of statistics.

0:13:25 > 0:13:27I need you to sign off on this...

0:13:49 > 0:13:50Street dance class, girls.

0:13:53 > 0:13:54SHE WHEEZES

0:13:54 > 0:13:56Are you OK?

0:13:56 > 0:14:00Absolutely fine, it's just trapped wind.

0:14:00 > 0:14:03I'm glad I bumped into you, I've got exciting news.

0:14:03 > 0:14:05I'm joining your street dance class!

0:14:05 > 0:14:07Wow! That's...

0:14:08 > 0:14:11Do you remember what we talked about in our meeting?

0:14:11 > 0:14:13Oh, yes!

0:14:13 > 0:14:15How do you get your hair so shiny?

0:14:15 > 0:14:16Oh, erm...

0:14:16 > 0:14:20About how exercise could be a way to help young people deal with their

0:14:20 > 0:14:24- hormones?- Yes, brilliant idea!

0:14:24 > 0:14:27I can't wait to get my groove on.

0:14:27 > 0:14:28Break out the funk.

0:14:28 > 0:14:32I've actually got more funk than I know what to do with.

0:14:32 > 0:14:34I could open a shop just selling funk.

0:14:35 > 0:14:37Well, if you're sure you're up to it.

0:14:37 > 0:14:39Up to it? I can't wait to get started.

0:14:41 > 0:14:44Now, if you'll excuse me, I just need to go and be sick in that bin.

0:14:48 > 0:14:50Don't ever pretend to be hormonal, Brian.

0:14:50 > 0:14:53You can't say yes to anything, including cake.

0:14:53 > 0:14:56I mean, even you like cake, and you're basically a twig.

0:14:56 > 0:14:58HER STOMACH RUMBLES

0:15:01 > 0:15:03OK, that's it, time for a kitchen raid.

0:15:03 > 0:15:05Captain James Cook,

0:15:05 > 0:15:08when you were mapping lands from New Zealand to Hawaii,

0:15:08 > 0:15:10did you ever just want to hide under your duvet and cry?

0:15:23 > 0:15:26I believe we may be suffering from the same affliction.

0:15:26 > 0:15:31- Dandruff?- No, HTS - hormonal teen syndrome.

0:15:31 > 0:15:34Thank goodness you're here.

0:15:34 > 0:15:37That's the second day running she's said no to cake.

0:15:37 > 0:15:40I normally have to padlock the tin down to stop her wolfing the lot.

0:15:40 > 0:15:43Oh, what are we going to do?

0:15:43 > 0:15:48I can't have Martha being controlled by her emotions.

0:15:48 > 0:15:51Next thing you know she'll be dropping out of school to become an

0:15:51 > 0:15:53aromatherapist.

0:15:57 > 0:15:59KNOCK ON DOOR, DOOR OPENS

0:16:01 > 0:16:03OK, great, you're here.

0:16:03 > 0:16:06I want to double-check the toilets to music block figures.

0:16:07 > 0:16:11What's the point? When you look at all the billions of stars,

0:16:11 > 0:16:15you realise we're just insignificant dots floating in a pointless void.

0:16:15 > 0:16:18No! They've got to you, too!

0:16:18 > 0:16:20Hormones!

0:16:22 > 0:16:26Of course, I never succumbed to this teenage hormones nonsense.

0:16:26 > 0:16:29Oh, tell a lie, I once got a spot.

0:16:30 > 0:16:33I had the lot. Spots, mood swings, tears.

0:16:34 > 0:16:37The only person I'd speak to for four months was the cat.

0:16:37 > 0:16:39I've got a photo of him here somewhere.

0:16:39 > 0:16:40DOORBELL RINGS

0:16:43 > 0:16:45Martha said Mrs Fitzgerald was here?

0:16:45 > 0:16:46Yeah, she's just through...

0:16:48 > 0:16:51Research material on hormones in teenagers.

0:16:51 > 0:16:52I can't do everything round here,

0:16:52 > 0:16:55I've got important work to attend to, you know?

0:16:55 > 0:16:56What do you expect us to do?

0:16:56 > 0:16:59You're going to have to talk to your children about their feelings.

0:17:04 > 0:17:06Right, Brian, I am now officially starving.

0:17:06 > 0:17:09I am declaring this a state of emer...

0:17:09 > 0:17:11Wait, why didn't I think of that before?

0:17:16 > 0:17:18My emergency banana!

0:17:27 > 0:17:29Morning, love.

0:17:29 > 0:17:31I wondered if we could have a bit of a chat?

0:17:31 > 0:17:32SHE GULPS

0:17:32 > 0:17:35Is there anything YOU would like to talk about?

0:17:39 > 0:17:41Good morning, darling!

0:17:41 > 0:17:43Mother, what are you wearing?

0:17:43 > 0:17:47This is what mothers wear when they're baking home-made croissants

0:17:47 > 0:17:50for their daughter. I want us to have a nice little chat.

0:17:50 > 0:17:56And we need to be completely honest with each other.

0:17:56 > 0:18:02OK, well, honestly, I think the, er, croissants might be ready.

0:18:03 > 0:18:05SHE COUGHS

0:18:09 > 0:18:12Darling, I think we need to talk about...

0:18:13 > 0:18:14..hormones.

0:18:14 > 0:18:18Why doesn't everyone just shut up about hormones?

0:18:18 > 0:18:21I do not want to talk about hormones!

0:18:23 > 0:18:24Ow!

0:18:24 > 0:18:27SHE COUGHS

0:18:27 > 0:18:28This is why I always e-mail.

0:18:33 > 0:18:34Street dance.

0:18:35 > 0:18:37Not sure I've ever seen those two words together before.

0:18:46 > 0:18:48What on earth are you doing?

0:18:48 > 0:18:50Just chilling, innit?

0:18:50 > 0:18:51Well, what's it to you?

0:18:51 > 0:18:54Stop talking with that ridiculous voice of...

0:18:54 > 0:18:57What are you wearing?

0:18:57 > 0:19:00When Miss Parfitt sees me strut my stuff in street dance class,

0:19:00 > 0:19:02she'll realise how cool I am

0:19:02 > 0:19:04and we'll be, like, best friends for ever.

0:19:04 > 0:19:07We might even form our own dance crew.

0:19:07 > 0:19:10Can you actually do street dance?

0:19:10 > 0:19:12Mrs Rennison, I trained in ballet!

0:19:12 > 0:19:15Street dance can't be harder than that!

0:19:15 > 0:19:18People manage it with their trousers halfway down.

0:19:18 > 0:19:21See? Who brings the funk?

0:19:21 > 0:19:22I bring the funk.

0:19:23 > 0:19:25I wish you'd take it away again.

0:19:29 > 0:19:33Morning, Martha. You look very focused.

0:19:33 > 0:19:35I am, because I'm going to beat these hormones.

0:19:35 > 0:19:38And Footsteps to Success will be right back on track.

0:19:38 > 0:19:40Ah, at last!

0:19:40 > 0:19:42I used a foolproof double-check list to pack my bag this

0:19:42 > 0:19:45morning. A whole block of freezing cold birds could try to distract me,

0:19:45 > 0:19:47it would still be impossible to forget anything.

0:19:47 > 0:19:50- Very impressive.- Let's do this.

0:19:50 > 0:19:51She wouldn't even speak to me.

0:19:51 > 0:19:56It was like playing charades, but less fun.

0:19:56 > 0:20:03- How did you get on?- Well, I do need a new oven, but I've got an idea.

0:20:03 > 0:20:04We're going to let Ollie sort it out?

0:20:04 > 0:20:07This says that exercise can help teens dealing with hormones.

0:20:10 > 0:20:12- Are you thinking what I'm thinking? - Take up jousting.

0:20:16 > 0:20:17Try your idea first?

0:20:21 > 0:20:26Street dance will not only make you incredibly cool,

0:20:26 > 0:20:30it will also help you deal with the crazy feelings some of you have been

0:20:30 > 0:20:31experiencing.

0:20:31 > 0:20:35So why not sign up, like Lily, Martha and Jas have?

0:20:36 > 0:20:39- What?- Oh, our parents must have signed us up.

0:20:39 > 0:20:42Oh. I don't want to force you.

0:20:42 > 0:20:43I can take your names off the list if you like.

0:20:43 > 0:20:49- No!- No?- I mean, now that we are on there, you may as well leave it.

0:20:49 > 0:20:53- That's the spirit!- Erm, I won't be needing the class, Miss Parfitt.

0:20:53 > 0:20:55I am more than capable of slaying this dragon myself.

0:20:55 > 0:21:02Do you want to spend break timing routes from the music block?

0:21:02 > 0:21:06No. They polished the music block floors on Tuesday.

0:21:06 > 0:21:10Walking speed would have to be reduced by 25% to avoid injury,

0:21:10 > 0:21:12so any results would be inaccurate.

0:21:12 > 0:21:14We'll do the staff room instead.

0:21:14 > 0:21:15Exemplary rationale.

0:21:15 > 0:21:18Now I'm going to go crush someone at chess.

0:21:33 > 0:21:35How can he just carry on enjoying himself?

0:21:35 > 0:21:38All I'm asking for is a bit of support as a woman.

0:21:38 > 0:21:40Is that too much to ask for, Jas?

0:21:41 > 0:21:42Jas?

0:21:43 > 0:21:46The dance class.

0:21:46 > 0:21:49I honestly just think I'm too hormonal to go.

0:21:49 > 0:21:52Oh, yeah, me too, obviously.

0:21:57 > 0:22:01Ha! And he falls into my trap like a fly into a spider's web.

0:22:01 > 0:22:05Why did I do that? What's the point of chess anyway?

0:22:05 > 0:22:07Now's the time for the killer blow.

0:22:07 > 0:22:12It's just bits of wood moving around another bit of wood,

0:22:12 > 0:22:15just dead wood.

0:22:15 > 0:22:16Maybe he'll be really upset if I beat him.

0:22:18 > 0:22:22No, that's just the hormones talking, making you weak.

0:22:22 > 0:22:24Resist, Martha, resist.

0:22:24 > 0:22:28I might just go home and write some poetry on the emptiness of human

0:22:28 > 0:22:30existence instead.

0:22:30 > 0:22:32OK, time to finish this.

0:22:32 > 0:22:35Or should I just give him a chance?

0:22:35 > 0:22:39No, no! But, in a way, isn't Rufus a bit like that poor,

0:22:39 > 0:22:43cold bird on the windowsill, just looking for a crumb of comfort?

0:22:46 > 0:22:48THEY GASP

0:22:49 > 0:22:50She deliberately let him win!

0:22:50 > 0:22:52It's the hormones!

0:23:03 > 0:23:05We're going to the dance class.

0:23:05 > 0:23:11- No!- Do you want to let down not only us but Captain James Cook?

0:23:11 > 0:23:14Very well. But I am not wearing Lycra.

0:23:18 > 0:23:20Oh, good to see you, Lily.

0:23:20 > 0:23:22I decided I needed something to take my mind off things.

0:23:26 > 0:23:30Honestly, my life is so complicated!

0:23:31 > 0:23:33Wow, that is quite an outfit.

0:23:33 > 0:23:35Show me some love, sister.

0:23:35 > 0:23:39- Oh.- I can't believe we're choosing to dance.

0:23:39 > 0:23:42OK, everyone, let's get started.

0:23:45 > 0:23:48Jas! I thought you weren't coming.

0:23:48 > 0:23:51Oh, I just, er...

0:23:51 > 0:23:55You needed some headspace to try and deal with this hormone nightmare?

0:23:55 > 0:23:59Yeah, that, exactly that.

0:23:59 > 0:24:01Right, let's have a look at what we're all going to be learning.

0:24:01 > 0:24:04Rob here is going to demonstrate how it's all done.

0:24:06 > 0:24:08DANCE MUSIC PLAYS

0:24:36 > 0:24:38OK, fine! I admit it.

0:24:38 > 0:24:41I'm happy!

0:24:41 > 0:24:43I'm not hormonal at all.

0:24:43 > 0:24:45You guys were like, hormones this and hormones that,

0:24:45 > 0:24:50but I just felt like a baby so I thought I'd just fake it.

0:24:50 > 0:24:52- I'm sorry.- Don't worry.

0:24:52 > 0:24:55I'm sure you'll be feeling miserable for real soon.

0:24:55 > 0:24:57Oh, thanks, I think.

0:24:57 > 0:24:58OK, everyone.

0:24:58 > 0:25:00Into lines, let's dance!

0:25:04 > 0:25:06Five, six, seven, eight!

0:25:10 > 0:25:12You realise I'm going to have to have

0:25:12 > 0:25:13therapy after this, right?

0:25:13 > 0:25:17Just keep dancing. I'll be back to my old self any minute.

0:25:19 > 0:25:23Mrs Griggs, try and relax more in the knees.

0:25:24 > 0:25:28No. Mrs Griggs, you're popping on the six instead of the eight.

0:25:28 > 0:25:30But look at my robot.

0:25:30 > 0:25:33Isn't it dope?

0:25:33 > 0:25:36I think it might be less disruptive if you move to the back.

0:25:43 > 0:25:46Honestly, what do you have to do to impress the woman?

0:25:46 > 0:25:50I'm starting to wonder if she knows what she's doing.

0:25:50 > 0:25:52I think she's doing rather well.

0:25:52 > 0:25:57Good control of class, dealing with disruptive elements, impressive.

0:25:58 > 0:26:01This woman is more than just a pair of shoes.

0:26:01 > 0:26:03- That's it!- What are you doing?

0:26:05 > 0:26:07You can't dance in those!

0:26:07 > 0:26:08Just watch me.

0:26:09 > 0:26:11If this doesn't impress her, nothing will.

0:26:16 > 0:26:19Dancing is the answer. Dancing is the answer.

0:26:20 > 0:26:22Make way for the funk, Miss Parfitt.

0:26:25 > 0:26:27Oh!

0:26:27 > 0:26:29Argh!

0:26:32 > 0:26:34How are you feeling, Martha?

0:26:34 > 0:26:36OK, I guess.

0:26:36 > 0:26:38I just thought this might cure me.

0:26:38 > 0:26:42I know hormones suck sometimes but, eventually,

0:26:42 > 0:26:45your body will come up with the perfect formula for being you.

0:26:46 > 0:26:50Right, and, just to be clear, I never have to do street dance again?

0:26:50 > 0:26:55No! Of course not, no. It's not for everyone.

0:26:55 > 0:26:56I might give it another go.

0:26:57 > 0:27:00What? It's not me. It's the hormones!

0:27:03 > 0:27:05Now that I'm back to being normal, happy Jas,

0:27:05 > 0:27:08maybe I can help you solve your Rob problem?

0:27:08 > 0:27:10Oh, yeah, about that -

0:27:10 > 0:27:14I realised I wrote the text but never actually sent it.

0:27:15 > 0:27:16I blame the hormones.

0:27:19 > 0:27:21I think I should go talk to him.

0:27:21 > 0:27:27- Say sorry?- No, to ask him what his favourite pizza topping is.

0:27:27 > 0:27:28Mmm.

0:27:31 > 0:27:35Would you put these in the parents' association jumble?

0:27:35 > 0:27:37I've quite gone off them.

0:27:48 > 0:27:51Oh!
