Glamour Model Mum, Baby & Me

I'm Georgia. I'm 16 years old. I'm exactly the same age my mum was when she had me.

Georgia's mum is kiss and tell Queen and topless model, Alicia Douvall.

Mum's been having surgery ever since I was little.

She's had over 100 procedures.

Hi.

I'm so happy with my nose.

But we are complete opposites.

All she wants to do is study biology and Macbeth.

She came from my womb. How can she be that different?

But now life's about to change forever.

Alicia's pregnant.

-Isn't she sweet?

-Yeah.

BABY CRIES

But will Georgia be left holding the baby?

That's my care instructions.

I've kind of got my hands full at the moment.

# Feels like I am just too close to love you... #

Oh!

I should let her go out, really, but I'm not going to.

I think she still sees me as like a six-year-old.

Well I don't care, it's fine. I won't do it.

Well I find it ridiculous.

Look, it's dark outside.

Yeah, but I've spent all day with you.

# I am just too close to love you... #

I don't like asking you about going anywhere.

But you were sneaky about it!

Yeah, that's because I don't like asking because you say no to everything.

This programme contains some strong language.

Alicia and Georgia share a bed in their two bed flat in Chelsea.

All right, shall we go and leave this brewing

and move your chest of drawers?

Tonight, Georgia is moving into her own room

to make space for the new baby.

-All this is for a tiny baby.

-Yes.

But moving next door is as far as Alicia is willing to let Georgia go.

-Are you allowed out much, Georgia?

-No, I'm not allowed.

My curfew is six o'clock, seven o'clock.

That's weekends as well.

That is only weekends actually.

During the week I'm not allowed to go out.

I like her company. We are best friends at the end of the day.

I know. But I like my friends' company.

I like to see them.

But yes, no, I don't let her go out to see her friends or...

go for dinner with her friends and stuff

'cos I don't want her...

to start drinking and stuff.

I'm not going to, I don't want to.

Eventually I'm just going to go by myself without, you know.

Yeah, but I'll follow you.

-You'll have a baby!

-I'll still follow you. I'll find a way.

OK, well you enjoy following me. Nothing's going to happen.

I know what I was like at 16.

And I thought I knew everything. I thought I was an adult.

But I knew nothing. I wasn't an adult.

I think that we have come to a crossroads

because I'm not willing to let her go.

And she wants her freedom.

It's the morning of Alicia's caesarean.

Georgia has got up early to have breakfast with Mum.

This is the last time it'll be just the two of them.

We've got to go.

Get my private room.

We've got to get this show on the road, baby. Come on.

What are you worried about?

I'm worried that I'll have to do loads of stuff for the baby.

Look after the baby.

It'll be screaming and I'll be able to hear it.

And then I'll be tired.

My mum told me she was pregnant on my birthday.

Which was very annoying.

And it wasn't, I didn't believe her because she jokes about things.

I think at first, when she first told me,

I was kind of annoyed that she'd got pregnant and everything.

Because it's always been me and her.

I'm going to stop it.

-What did you do?

-That was you because you were going in.

No, it wasn't me, Georgie.

Don't blame everything on me.

Stop being nasty to me.

Yeah, well you should have waited for the next one.

Me wearing scrubs.

The father of the baby's not around.

She kind of feels it's her fault

so I think she kind of blames herself for that.

# You know I never want to let you down

# Cuts me up to see you sad... #

Fine. Oh, I hate this.

Come on, you'll be fine.

She's not doing anything yet.

Just think of the benefits of, you know...

As Alicia is a single parent,

she has asked Georgia to come into the delivery room with her.

Baby's coming soon.

Sounds weird.

Oh-argh!

-Do you want to see your baby?

-Oh, yeah.

-Yeah.

Take pictures. Slowly!

-Slowly, slowly.

-Oh, wow!

Say hi.

Hello.

BABY CRIES

Wow.

It's amazing.

It's left to Georgia to cut her new sister's umbilical cord.

-OK? So you just have to snip away.

-Yeah?

-And you cut just there for me.

There you go.

Oh my God!

-That's it.

-There.

She's cute.

Oh!

She's dead cute.

Our little family.

There's three of us now.

-There was two about three minutes ago.

-Now there's three.

There you go. Just hold onto her.

She's so cute.

Her feet! I can feel how tiny she is.

Ah! She's weeing now. Jesus!

THEY LAUGH

-Isn't she sweet?

-Yeah.

Welcome to the world, baby Papaya.

# We're going to come together we're going to celebrate

# We'll all gather round like it's your birthday.

# I don't want to know just what I'm going to do

# I don't care where you going I'm coming along with you... #

After a short stay in hospital, Georgia and Alicia have

returned home to start their new lives with baby Papaya.

I'm a one-woman feeding machine.

I'm a one-woman feeding machine.

You can breastfeed?

Yeah, I couldn't believe I can breastfeed.

Because obviously I've had 16 boob jobs.

And the last operation was like seven, eight hours, reconstruction.

So I just can't believe that I'm actually able to breastfeed

and the plastic surgeon said its 50/50.

But I think my saving grace is that they didn't go through the nipple.

So if you have a boob job, don't go through the nipple.

I don't want a boob job!

No, but if any of your friends, don't go through the nipple.

So they're working boobs?

They're working boobs

and they're actually working for the first time for the right reason.

They've been out more times than in my glamour modelling career.

And in the nightclubs.

You aren't giving yourself a very good reputation.

Well it's true though.

If you're a glamour model you get your boobs out for a job.

-Yeah...

-I got my boobs out virtually everyday for shoots.

-OK.

-But feeding a baby they're out even more times.

Yeah.

I don't know why I bother even putting them back in.

Alicia is settling into motherhood

while Georgia also finds herself with more responsibility.

I think I probably filled that, the role of father a lot for my mum

because I look after her quite a lot and do things like put the pram up

and things like that and everything.

Which, so, you know.

Are you happy to do that?

Yeah, I don't mind it.

It's, you know, it's good for me

and it was amazing that I could have been there.

Because I, I don't know, it just seems so hard

without another person there.

To have a child and you want support of someone

and someone to help you with the baby.

# Down by the river by the boat where everybody goes to be alone

# Where you won't see any rising sun down to the river we go on... #

Alicia and Georgia are introducing baby Papaya to the world.

Beginning with a magazine spread.

A year ago, Alicia had surgery on her face.

She had a chin and nose implant placed under the skin.

She now regrets this decision as it has left her with

nerve damage affecting her ability to smile.

Looking through the pictures from the shoot

she is less than impressed with the results.

My face is like...

plastic so not fantastic.

I can't even smile. They were like "Smile, smile in the pictures".

And I was like...I can't smile. I literally can't smile.

It's friggin' awful.

You're not e-mailing your surgeon, are you?

I am. I really am. Look.

-Are you?

-Yes.

How do you feel about that?

As long as I'm on half term I don't mind...

When you go, really.

It needs to move. It's like, this is fucking hideous.

OK.

It's like I haven't even got a body to make up for the face.

You know like some people in a pub they're like, "Shame about the face

"but at least her body is all right."

I've gone and fucked up the whole thing now!

Dejected by the photos for the magazine shoot

and no longer able to smile,

Alicia is wasting no time booking her corrective facial surgery.

That's my main aim is just to get my lip working and get my face working.

And the other question I have, is it safe whilst breastfeeding?

# I can see it and I can feel it by believing... #

It's the day after the magazine shoot

and Georgia is returning home from college.

She's unaware that Alicia has booked her surgery trip to Boston.

-Hello.

-Hey!

Hello.

-How was your day?

-Yeah, it was good.

So, I've booked us a holiday.

-You have?

-Yeah, for your half term.

-OK.

-Tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny drawback.

-What?

That we have to go February 8, is that all right? Fly February 8?

So you get two days off.

-Not really.

-Of college, it's just the last two days of college.

I don't really have a choice, do I?

Why don't you look at your calendar, you'll miss one day of college.

You just said two days.

February 8 is a Wednesday so, yeah, technically two days.

But you'd miss really one, wouldn't you.

No, I'd miss two days.

That'll be my 100% attendance gone!

-Wait, February?

-Ninth and...

-Wait, wait, of February?

-February, yeah.

-Nnnn.

-No, don't come up with anything!

Wait, wait, wait, no, no, honest excuse.

OK. Now I have biology mock there. I have drama mock.

Eight, six, seven, eight, photography mock.

And that's for my exam. This will go towards my A-level.

Look. I'm free on that, you know?

That's...

Georgie, please.

No, I'm not, look, it's not, I don't do this on purpose.

This is an exam thing.

I'll just say...

she has a photography...

They're not going to give me.

-..mock on...

-I only have two weeks or three weeks left to do this.

I'd like the extra day.

Georgie, you don't need the extra day, this is not crucial.

Well, I don't care, it's fine, I won't do it.

No, Georgie, I'm just finding out...

"She has a photography mock on Wednesday the 8, however..."

Oh, she's kicking off now as well!

"However..."

BABY CRIES

You can't catch up on a mock. If it's over, you've missed it.

Well, I'm finding out, darling, aren't I? I'm writing to see.

That's not good for me, though.

Because it means I won't have as much time as everyone else to do...

You've always got an excuse!

How is this not, this is a valid excuse.

-It's an exam that goes towards my A-level.

-It's not...

It's right at the end. It's the last day of term. That's why I thought...

Jesus! It's the last day of term.

That's probably broken now.

OK, I won't go. Fine, you win.

-Yeah?

-Yeah.

-Really?

-Well, I would prefer that but...you know.

Are you done, yes?

Well, I thought you would be happy that we're going to Boston.

Doesn't bother me.

Well, it obviously does bother you, doesn't it?

-Georgie, don't walk away.

-I need to do stuff.

That went well.

SHE LAUGHS

SHE SIGHS

Great.

SHE TUTS AND SIGHS

MUSIC: "Away FRM U" by Oberhofer

# Oh, oh

# Oh, oh. #

Despite Georgia's pleas,

Alicia is going ahead with the surgery in Boston.

# You're pushing me away from you

# And there's nothing I can do

# And I can't fight All of your battles for you. #

Ready...go.

If she can get 4 1/2-week-old Papaya her first passport in time.

# I'll hop the fence So I can get out of this mess

# Oh oh-oh. #

So, I've done it. I've registered her. So I've got my certificate.

Yay!

I'm now a proud owner of a certified baby.

MUSIC: "Undercover Martyn" by Two Door Cinema Club

Georgia and Alicia are having a photo shoot for Fabulous magazine.

So, what's the first preference for me to wear?

But, for the first time, Georgia is the focus of the article.

# She spoke words That would melt in your hand. #

If you had a choice, what would you do today?

I'd probably get my homework done out the way

and see my friends right now,

cos they're having a party tonight I think, but I'm not allowed to go.

Even though this would finish, probably, in time for me to go, but...

No.

MUSIC: "Sorta Fairytale" by Tori Amos

# On my way up north

# Up on the Ventura

# I pulled back the hood. #

I would like it a lot to have a lot more freedom and independence.

She likes to say we're best friends, which I guess we are,

but even my best friend, I don't spend every working hour with them.

# We could break a silver lining

# And I'm so sad

# Like a good book I can't put this day back. #

Hair done, make-up on - all dressed up, but nowhere to go.

Georgia is making one last plea to meet up with her friends this evening.

PAPAYA CRIES

You can put that nappy in the bin, if you could.

Aw...

So, is it too late for me to go to Chloe's, then?

-Uh, Georgie, what time is it?

-Like, 4.30.

-Yes.

-You really want to go late at night?

-It's not late at night though.

I knew you would do this. I knew it. But I find it ridiculous.

-Look, it's dark outside.

-Yeah, but I...

And you want to go outside - we've got loads of things to do...

We don't have loads of things to do.

-You wanted me to do your photography with you.

-Yeah, tomorrow.

-Why do you want to keep seeing all your friends?

-Well, because I'm...

-You see them all week at college.

-I don't see them all week.

-I don't see Chloe all week.

-You never want to see me.

I do want to see you. I spent all day with you.

How can you want to go and see your friends today, Georgie?

MUSIC: "Somebody That I Used To Know" by Gotye

I'm losing her.

# But you didn't have to cut me off

# Make out like it never happened And that we were nothing

# And I don't even need your love

# But you treat me like a stranger And I feel so rough

# No, you didn't have to stoop so low

# Have your friends Collect your records

# And then change your number

# I guess that I Don't need that though

# Now you're just somebody That I used to know. #

It's the night before the trip to Boston for Alicia's surgery.

Georgia has had the results from her photography mock,

but it's not what she was hoping for.

He said, "I expected you to get an A, but you haven't.

"But you've passed." It means I got a B or a C.

Oh, dear. Well, you'll be all right

when it comes to the actual A-level, won't you?

-Well, that was part of the actual A-level.

-No.

-Yes.

-That's, like, one section of it.

-Shut up - I thought it was a mock.

No, photography counts towards the A-level.

-So you're not going to get an A in your photography A-level?

-Not in AS.

Oh, my God. That's a disaster.

It's not a disaster.

-So I suppose that's my fault, isn't it, if that's photography?

-A bit.

-Really?

-Well, he said it was rushed, so...

I must have rushed cos I only had today to do it, so...

MUSIC: "Give Me What I Want" by Kids In Glass Houses

# Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo. #

# We take three steps forward Three steps back

# She said, "I don't like The way you're dressed."

# So then four words later She takes four back... #

Are all your friends meeting up in half term?

Yeah, everyone's meeting up in half term, but I'm busy.

It would have been nice to see my friends.

I go, I come back and I have a couple of days,

but my mum already said, "You're not meeting your friends."

I can when we get back, so... It's a no.

I think she still sees me as a six-year-old, but... I don't know.

She trusts me to do a lot of things.

She expects me to do really adult things all the time,

but then if I want to see my friends or something, it's a no go.

It's a no.

# Give me what I want Give me what I want

# Give me what I want Give me what I want. #

For the first time I've built myself a family and I love this.

I love having a family. I love having, you know...

Papaya and Georgia and I've got a family. I love sitting around,

and what people probably take for granted and don't think is that much,

but, like, sitting around and having our dinner -

I think, "Oh, my God," and, like, I've built a happy home.

In my eyes, I've succeeded in the most important thing

that I ever set out to accomplish

and I've built a safe, happy, loving home,

which...I know is really...

Most people would take that for granted,

but where I've come from and where I am now -

that's a fucking miracle.

So I'm not ready to let it go.

Call me a shit mum or call me what you want, but...

I don't know. I don't want her to grow up and I don't want her...

I don't want her to be, you know, gone.

And off with some boy.

No, he can't take my little girl away from me - she's too tiny.

I want her to be a little baby for a bit longer.

I don't think that's too much to ask for.

MUSIC: "Come Closer" by Miles Kane

I'm going to Boston, baby.

Alicia, Georgia and seven-week-old Papaya

are all on their way to Boston

so Alicia can have her chin and nose implants removed.

# You're a million miles

# A million miles away

# So come closer

# Whoa-oh oh-oh oh-oh Ah-ah ah-ah ah-ah

# Whoa-oh oh-oh oh-oh. #

ALICIA SIGHS So, I can't believe it.

This is the last time you see this ugly face.

-Yay!

-That's going to be gone,

that's going to be gone and then like that.

-Like that.

-OK.

So, without the plastic, my nose originally is like...

..that. So, that goes.

This is what the surgeons do, you see? Look.

It looks good, yeah. It's fine.

So that's without the nose implant and without the chin implant.

I can't really see the difference with the chin. I guess...

-That's me.

-OK.

-Again.

Georgia now has an idea of what to expect from tomorrow's surgery,

but experience has taught her that Alicia is rarely happy with the outcome for long.

It's 6am, the morning of Alicia's surgery.

Georgia is up and preparing bottles.

She is about to be solely responsible for Papaya

for the first time.

-Right, I'd better go.

-OK.

I shall go and meet my fate.

Bye-bye, little one.

I love you lots, but I've got to leave you.

-Have you got everything?

-Yeah.

-OK, bye-bye.

-I love you lots.

-Love you too.

-Bye-bye -

-I don't want to go.

-You'll be fine.

You'll be back soon.

-Bye.

-Bye. Have fun.

-Well, you won't have fun, but...

-Bye.

-Bye.

-Bye.

-Bye, OK!

I get it - you're going now.

-Bye.

-Bye!

-Love you lots - won't be long.

-OK.

-I love you lots.

-Love you, too.

-Bye.

-Bye-bye, Papaya - I love you.

She's not listening. She's looking away.

Oh, it's horrible, this is.

I didn't even cry at the birth of my daughter. I never, ever, ever cry.

The severity of it all.

I'm OK now.

It's just not nice, is it?

Oh, God - part of me just prays that I never,

ever have to put myself or my family in this situation again.

But, you know what? This is like,

please, if I come away with my mouth working again,

I really don't want any more surgery. I really don't. It's just shit.

This is as low as you can go, isn't it, really?

PAPAYA WAILS

It's coming.

Georgia has learnt all about sterilising bottles

and caring for Papaya, but she's never had to do it alone before.

Where are the baby wipes? Sh, sh, sh, sh.

MUSIC: "Go" by Delilah

It's all done.

# I know just what I would do

# When I heard your song

# The next thing I felt was you

# Holding me close

# What am I going to do. #

Georgia is hopeful that her mum's attitude towards plastic surgery

is finally changing.

My mum does seem different from the other times

when she's gone to have surgery.

-She's more...

-PAPAYA CRIES

Um... Sh.

Like, before she used to be, kind of, like, excited to go,

but now she's really not.

Doesn't want to leave Papaya and me.

I hope it works. I hope she looks better from it

and, like, her face works, don't we?

If it was my choice then I'd say, yeah, this would be my last trip

if this isn't her last surgery

cos I wouldn't want to come back again.

It's just so much hassle and stress and everything

and it's not even worth it.

-PAPAYA CRIES

-I miss school because of it

and then I have to sit here...

Come on. Sh.

Is this what you want, or not? No?

I have to sit here, you know, with her screaming and then her...

-PAPAYA COUGHS

-Ooh.

Are you done now? You can't want more.

# But Ooh Your love's so cruel

# You make me wanna go, go

# Go, go, go ooh. #

Georgia has now spent 11 hours alone with Papaya.

Hi, I just wanted to know if Alicia Douvall has come out of her surgery yet?

But her duties do not end here.

When Alicia returns, she will be affected by the anaesthetic and also need care.

Hi.

Morning.

Your face doesn't look that bad, actually.

-I'm so happy with my nose.

-Yeah, it looks better.

It's so much better. Old nose.

It's starting to swell now so you won't see, but I've got me back.

-Yeah, it's good.

-Do I look better?

-Yeah.

Papaya. I missed... Ooh.

Do look a bit strange?

-I missed you.

-She's kind of tired.

Oh, no.

Have I changed the outline so you can't recognise me?

She's looking at me.

Yeah, she looks at everyone like that.

MUSIC: "What Can I Say?" by The Pigeon Detectives

That's a bit tight.

That's my instructions. That's my care instructions.

I've kind of got my hands full at the moment.

-This is a mouthwash. Did I say that?

-Yep, you said that.

# You say that you're Trying to change

# But you go at it again At it again

# What can I say? #

Party, Papaya. This is it - the start of a new life.

You've got your new life, now I've got mine.

-OK, can you just stop talking now?

-OK, sorry.

# You say that you're Trying to change

# But you go at it again At it again

# And now it seems the only way

# To tell the night from day. #

-I'm really proud of you.

-That's good.

-Thank you so much.

-I so appreciate you.

-It's fine. OK, well... Yeah.

You will be rewarded in heaven, but...

-In heaven?

-I'll take you shopping.

-OK.

-And after this, this is a new start.

Yeah, cos I'm not doing it again. So it's fine.

Yeah, and we're going to take you shopping to Boston

-and I'm going to buy you some nice stuff.

-OK.

-And treat you.

-And we can start having a good time now.

-That's good.

-The worst is over and behind us and this is, like...

-We've got tonight.

-Hopefully this is the start of a new start.

-OK.

Thank you, Georgia. I really appreciate it.

It's fine.

-Thank you.

-It's OK.

-You are lovely. You're the apple of my eye.

-OK.

-You really are lovely.

-It's fine.

-You're an angel.

-OK.

-And it's not just the drugs saying that.

-OK.

Alicia is sleeping in the other room recovering from anaesthetic

leaving Georgia to care for Papaya through the night.

FROM OUTSIDE: Turn the light off and then she'll probably...

-PAPAYA WAILS

-Urgh!

-ALICIA MURMURS

-What?

-Are you all right?

-Yep.

-Here, let me pull your legs.

-Oh, no, no - that's fine.

I'm there now. No, no - I'm there. It's fine.

-Is that the middle?

-Yeah, yeah, no. OK, go back.

PAPAYA MURMURS Sh, sh, sh, sh.

Put your head down, your head down.

Twist it.

-Good night.

-Night.

-Love you.

-Love you, too.

-Love you.

-ALICIA MUTTERS

-Just go to sleep.

It's the morning after surgery and Georgia has been up for hours.

Morning.

Oh, God - I'm swelling up now.

I feel like shit.

SHE CHUCKLES

I feel awful.

I've got a headache, I feel tired and I'm in pain,

but I'm not taking the painkillers.

I started breastfeeding again at three in the morning,

but I'm just expressing.

Believing this really was her last-ever surgical procedure,

Alicia reflects on when it all began.

I've been addicted to plastic surgery for...

Since I was...

17, I had my first operation.

I've been addicted since then.

That's a long time.

And waiting in the waiting room I thought, "This so isn't the answer.

"It's such a mug's game."

I just don't want to do it ever again. I really don't.

And I said that before, but...

I think this time...

My frame of mind is completely different.

And I feel like this is a start of... Finally, I'm going to live my life.

Georgia's got a good feeling that it's the end as well, haven't you?

Yeah.

Do you think it's the last surgery?

I don't know. I don't want to...

If I say I think it is, it probably won't be, but...

I don't know.

Do you hope it's the last surgery?

I mean, yeah, it'd be great for her if it was

because then she wouldn't have to, you know, keep wasting her money

and coming here and back again

and it would be really good for everyone.

I think for Papaya as well cos she won't have to, kind of, see it either.

I don't know. I don't know if it will be.

I think this experience definitely has been different.

I think now it's very clear

that she's not making herself look better in any way.

I look at pictures of her when she was, like,

19, 20 and she would look perfect there.

This picture was of my mum

before, I think, she had really any surgery

apart from, like, one boob job, maybe.

No, I think she looks really good there.

Like, her hair and everything looks nice. It's natural.

It looks different to what she looks like now.

The first, like, surgery that I remember of hers

was probably when she had, like, her whole face, kind of,

peel thing or something and it was like flesh red.

She had this plastic thing over it.

And I saw her and I was just like running away, screaming and crying.

I was like, "No, the monster!"

She can move on now, you know?

She can fix what she's done wrong

and start living her life without plastic surgery.

MUSIC: "I Would Do Anything For You" by Foster The People

# Never want to stand upon myself

# Never want to get in the way I said it

# I don't know what the plan is

# But you can share with me

# Cos ooh, la, la I've fallen in love

# And it's better this time

# Than ever before

# Cos ooh, la, la I've fallen in love. #

Alicia and Georgia have been back in the UK for a week.

Close friend Jessica is round to help Alicia get ready

for her first night out since before she was pregnant.

That is stunning, and I think with some nice shoes

-and a nice handbag...

-No, I look like Big Bird.

-Oh, God.

What about this white one? No, not that.

Since arriving back from Boston,

Alicia and Georgia's relationship has strained.

Georgia is still not allowed out and her frustration is growing.

I wanted to go out on Saturday, but...

Did you? Where did you want to go on Saturday?

I wanted to go to my friend's house to stay at hers, but she said no.

But she said next weekend I can go and see my friends.

Well, they're going to come here actually. So...

-Are you looking forward to that?

-Yeah, it should be good.

I don't know, though. Cos she'll probably just be hanging around.

It's not really the same as going to see your friends

as staying here with your mum.

I'm 32, she's bloomin' 16.

-Not the same, is it?

-Yeah.

She thinks she should be able to go out

and stay overnight with her friend and go to parties, but it's like...

-It's just not right.

-No.

What does she do when she goes out with her friends anyway?

Always wants to go and play Xbox, to be fair.

She wants to go around their house and play Xbox,

so it's not like she wants to go clubbing or anything, but you know,

that's when someone will offer her a drink or offer her drugs

and the next thing you know you've got a heroin addict on your hands.

-Jessica, are you ready?

-Ready.

-Please don't get moody, darling, it's very exhausting.

-I'm not!

You're 16, not 60 - you can't be going out at 16 years old.

Well, how come everyone else does?

Because they're the ones who are going to end up 16 and pregnant.

-No, because I'm not going...

-And unsuccessful at school.

You're going to be doing... You're going to do well.

You're going to come away with A-levels

and you're going to do well, whereas they're not.

But anyway, I don't like asking you about going anywhere...

-But you were sneaky about it.

-Yeah, that's because I don't like asking you

cos you say no to everything!

Why don't you want your friend to come here though?

It's just awkward having, you know, your mum there.

-Why?

-Because it's not what people want.

People aren't five any more.

-Your friends might like us.

-Exactly. I bet they would like us.

-We're fun.

I bet the boys would like Jessica.

They're not...

We should have a theme!

THEY CLAP AND GIGGLE

Shall we have a theme?

-Oh, your friends will love it.

-Oh, come on let us have the theme!

-What's the theme?

-Pimps and prostitutes?

No, we were going to do that. Pimps and whores it was.

-So you want my friends to come dressed like that?

-Yeah.

-Pimps and prostitutes - or should we do Barbie and Ken?

-No. No, no.

What time?

Um... Seven o'clock? Six o'clock?

Say six o'clock and then they can...

Oh, she's getting excited now, see?

Ah, see? You're liking her parties now!

If you're going to go all out, I might as well invite more people.

-THEY CHEER AND CLAP

-There we go.

See, look - we've made her happy now.

Alicia and Georgia have reached a compromise and peace is restored.

The girls head out for the night excited to make more party plans,

leaving Georgia to babysit.

MUSIC: "Bad Girls" by M.I.A.

# Live fast, die young Bad girls do it well

# Live fast, die young Bad girls do it well. #

This feels weird. It feels like...

Do you feel nice getting all dressed up today and going out?

Well, it's a bit hectic, isn't it? But, yeah, it does feel nice getting ready,

but it feels weird. It feels like this isn't my life any more.

-You know?

-Yeah.

# Hands up

# Hands tied

# Don't go screaming If I blow you with a bang

# Suki Zuki I'm coming in the Cherokee

# Gasoline There's steam on the window screen. #

I guess if my mum's going to be involved

and in the room and everything,

she might as well go all the way out

and embarrass me completely.

MUSIC: "Sprawl II" by Arcade Fire

# They heard me singing And they told me to stop. #

Saturday has arrived and Georgia and Alicia

are planning for the night's Pimp And Whore gathering.

Complete with pass-the-parcel and magician.

I'm a bit worried about quiches. That's the picture...

..this is how it turned out.

# We rode our bikes To the nearest park

Versace, come here.

Look. Look at the doggy. Doesn't he look good?

He's a whore.

Here we go.

Have you done the carrots and a cucumber, Jessica?

-No, I'm going to do it now.

-OK.

-Anything else?

-Um...

A nice new man, naked? No?

# Black river Your city lights shine. #

-So which outfit have you gone with? What's this?

-I'm the saloon...

-Saloon girl.

-Do you think people will be talking about this on Monday at college?

Yeah, people probably will be talking about it.

You look amazing. It looks really good.

-You look like a proper whore now, well done.

-Thanks.

I'm going to do the washing-up.

-I'll do the washing-up. Do your make-up.

-Yeah, but you can't do it.

It's not the most important thing -

-the most important thing is your make-up, darling.

-No, because this looks really bad.

Georgie's really stressed. I see another side to Georgie now.

MUSIC: "Wild Ones" by Flo Rida

# Hey, I heard you were a wild one

# Ooh

# If I took you home It'd be a home run. #

It's so stressful having get-togethers.

Georgia collect her friends and is relieved to see

they have entered the party spirit

and come dressed as pimps and whores.

Hello? Hi, everyone.

-This is Jessica.

-Jessica.

-Hello.

-Hi, nice to meet you. I'm Jess.

-I'm Anthony.

-THEY LAUGH

Hi. Toby.

THEY LAUGH

# I like crazy, foolish, stupid Party going wild, fist pumping

# Music, I might lose it Blast to the roof

That's how we do'z it Do'z it, do'z it

# I don't care the night, She don't care we like

# Almost dared the right five Ain't no surprise

# Take me so high Jumping those dives

# Surfing the crowd. #

This is the first time Alicia's met Georgia's friends

and it appears her worries were unfounded.

I can trust her with them.

I think you've got nothing to worry about with these friends.

I know. Who'd have thought?

I think I will let her out, cos it's not like that lot are going to be...

What did you think they would be like?

You get an image in your head of, like, hood rats.

Maybe you thought that their idea of a party

was music, dancing, drinking...

They're, like, really nice kids and, just...nice. Really nice kids.

Well behaved, aren't they? Polite as well.

They weren't like the type of kids I was going round with.

# Ooh

# Hey, I heard You liked the wild ones

# Wild ones, wild ones, ooh

# Party rocker, foot show stopper

# More shampoo Number one, club popper

# Got a hangover like too much vodka Can't see me with ten binoculars

# So cool No doubt by the end of the night

# Got the clothes coming off Til' I make that move

# Somehow, someway Gotta raise the roof, roof

# All black shades When the sun come through

# Oh, it's on like everything goes Round up, baby, till the freaky show

# What happens to that body Is a private show

# Stays right here Pri-Private show. #

'I think a lot of people definitely think that she is irresponsible

'and not a good mum, but a lot of people don't really know her.

'I think she's a good mum.'

A few days later, it turns out Georgia has an admirer.

Toby, a boy from the party,

has written a message on her Facebook page.

-In what way? What did he say, "I love you," or something?

-Basically.

-Did he?

-Basically. Kind of. In that sense.

Did he? How can he love you? So you've been dating him, basically.

-No, I haven't! No.

-Yes, you have.

No, I haven't.

-Well, how can he love you unless he's been dating you?

-I don't know.

So you been dating him for how long?

I haven't been dating him. I'm not dating him - we're friends.

I'm not dating him.

Is that what you've been doing in your room?

Sitting there going, "I love you." "I love you back."

No! I don't tell people I love them.

You did respond and has he been asking you out?

-Yeah.

-And what you say?

-No.

-Why not?

What? You just told me not to, so I'm not.

Would you like to go on a date with him?

I don't mind.

-I guess I would.

-Well, don't knock yourself out for the poor boy.

-What?

I think it's nice you've got a little geeky boyfriend. It's nice.

-Oh, my God.

-You can study your work together and stuff, can't you?

-So you wouldn't have sex then?

-No!

Please don't, Georgia, because I'd be really upset.

I'm not going to. I don't want to, OK? It's fine. Not going to.

Toby is on his way to pick Georgia up for her first ever date

and Alicia is keen to help her get ready.

-Do you want me to do your make-up for you?

-No.

-So when he comes round he goes...

-I've done it.

-"Oh, wow - she looks lovely."

-Where?

-I just... I don't put, like, tons on, do I?

Do you want a bit more?

I'll go and find you an outfit quickly.

This...with black leggings...

We're going to a park!

-Darling, can I pluck your eyebrows?

-Yes.

-Thank you.

-No. No.

-No, this isn't red and I'm going to dull it down with pink.

-No, I don't want that.

-It's coral. It's coral.

-No, it's fine.

-No, no, no. Just one little bit more.

-No! I'll look like a drag queen.

-Lip-gloss. Lip-gloss doesn't do anything.

-I've got my own lip-gloss.

-It's fine.

-OK, let me do...

-No! No.

-Hello.

-Crazy.

-SHE LAUGHS

-Oh, hi!

-Hi.

-How are you?

-I'm good, how are you?

-Fine, thank you.

It's her first date.

-Oh, my God.

-Isn't it?

Have you been on dates before?

Uh...Not proper ones.

Aw, it's both of your first dates. That's so sweet.

-Where's your purse?

-So don't let her smoke or drink.

-Do you smoke or drink?

-No.

-Good.

If she smokes or drinks, I will kill you and I will kill you.

-Yeah, I won't let her smoke definitely.

-Or drink.

-Yeah, or drink.

-Good.

And no hanky-panky.

-OK.

-Bye.

-Bye.

I'll see you later.

-Bye.

-Bye.

-Bye.

# Great Dane's cheekbones Teenage hormones

# Young complexion Non-physical affection

# You're a God send

# Do you want a boyfriend? Crazy crazy, easy tiger. #

I believe if I do all of the three - you salute and you go,

-"Hello, Mr Magpie, how's your wife?"

-What? You're talking to birds.

No, cos two is good luck, cos it's, like, their wife.

I'm not putting my feet down, anyway.

Today is the day that Georgia is finally allowed the freedom

she's been fighting for.

My mum and my relationship is a bit strange. A bit.

-How?

-I don't know.

My mum is quite strict.

Yeah. She threatened to kill me. It's fine.

I can't go out, like, in the evenings and things like that.

-Yeah, it's understandable though.

-Is it?

A little.

-Well, she cares, so that's cool.

-Yeah.

I don't know - maybe she's, like...

She doesn't want you to grow up as fast.

So she still wants you around.

She can't expect me to stay inside all day every day.

Yeah, you've got to get out. All in due time, I guess.

-Yeah.

-Hopefully.

-I do... Oh!

-Is there a bin?

-Did he say, "I love you?"

-No.

So come on. Tell me everything.

-We hugged - that was all.

-How did he hug you? What happened?

Like, a normal hug. I don't know.

What do you mean, What do you mean?

I don't know what you mean - it's a hug.

So, what, how did the hug come about?

Because we were saying goodbye and then we hugged in the park.

He really likes you.

-I really like him. Do you like him?

-Yes, I like him.

-He's a nice boy, isn't he?

-Yes, he is.

-You know what?

-Young love is the most beautiful thing in the world.

-OK.

-It is.

It's lovely to see you two together. It actually warmed my heart.

Honestly. It was really nice to see you two together.

I thought I'd want to kill him.

I thought I would want to chop his balls off. But actually...

-Well, you did say you were going to kill him.

-I didn't say kill him.

-You did. You said you would kill him.

-But anyway.

It just warms my heart to see you two together

and I want you to be happy and I want you to be in love.

I'm not going to stop you doing that. Why should I?

Why should I stop you having a bit of happiness

and a bit of love in your life?

-You go for it.

-OK.

-Honestly, I mean it. You go for it.

-Here we are.

-It's a few weeks later and Georgia has just turned 17.

Today is her first time behind the wheel.

-Happy?

-Yeah, it's good.

-You're a big girl now, aren't you?

-Yeah.

You've got a car and everything. That means you're an adult.

Go on - stick your L plates on then.

OK. Seatbelt on.

Right. First, second, third.

Turn the key.

-How does this work?

-Oh, for God's sake - let me do it.

-Oh, OK.

-Jesus.

OK, I get it. Oh, do you need to take the... Why did you put them on?

Nice and slowly.

Argh!

SHE SCREAMS

-I pressed go and you said...

-Keep calm. Don't panic.

-You're the one panicking.

-Yeah, I know.

I'm just trying to keep calm about this.

She's letting me do a lot more now with my friends.

I've got two concerts this year that I'm going to

and I went on a date for the first time,

which is good considering my mum was like,

"You can't have a boyfriend till you're 40."

And she invites him out for dinners and family things,

which is good because it means she's accepting it.

No, you're in third. Second.

I think before I didn't realise how close we really are.

I just thought that she was just trying to make sure

I didn't do anything bad to the extreme.

To the left-hand side. If a car comes, we're dead.

I thought my mum needed me a lot more than I needed her

cos I thought, "Oh, I'm a teenager now - I can go and do what I want."

-Regroup.

-Well, I'm not turning round.

-That's not going to happen.

-You're not turning around -

you're going along there go round there and then you're coming back.

I can't drive in a straight line yet

so I don't understand how I'm going to drive in a circle already.

-All right, I'll do it.

-You're going to turn round?

-I'll turn the car around.

-Fine.

See, I wouldn't have been able to do that.

Georgia is finally on the road to adulthood.

At last, she appears to be winning her battle for independence.

Alicia by her side, but no longer at the controls.

I think my mum's worried that she'll be replaced by my friends.

I think you can't replace your mum cos they're always irreplaceable.

They are always someone that you'll need, even if you don't think you do.

And then go into second now.

That's it. Now keep going.

No matter how old you are you'll always need your mum for something.

They can always teach you something new and help you.

Now go into third.

That's it, now keep going.

Keep going, keep going, keep going.

Georgia - life is not one big straight line.

-You have to learn to turn the car.

-OK.
