0:00:02 > 0:00:04You know what, mate? I'm really quite excited to be back.
0:00:04 > 0:00:08- Just to find out what's going on with the Old School family.- Me too.
0:00:08 > 0:00:11We're the Hairy Bikers and we're back at the Oxford Academy.
0:00:12 > 0:00:15We both had a tough time when we were at school.
0:00:15 > 0:00:19And for kids today it can be just as hard.
0:00:19 > 0:00:20There's disruption...
0:00:20 > 0:00:23I punch stuff, I kick stuff, I throw stuff.
0:00:23 > 0:00:24..bullying...
0:00:24 > 0:00:26They were saying how much I should kill myself,
0:00:26 > 0:00:27I should jump off a bridge.
0:00:27 > 0:00:31Before you say stuff about someone, you should know more about them.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33..and failure.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35But this struggling school
0:00:35 > 0:00:38has embarked on a crazy social experiment...
0:00:38 > 0:00:39WHISTLE BLOWS
0:00:39 > 0:00:42..to transform the lives of young and old alike.
0:00:43 > 0:00:45And we want to help.
0:00:45 > 0:00:49This is like Grange Hill crossed with Last Of The Summer Wine.
0:00:54 > 0:00:58- TELEVISION:- Thank you very much. - I've lost the...knack, if you like.
0:00:58 > 0:01:02What'll happen when we bring the quiet and the noisy together?
0:01:04 > 0:01:07Could they transform each other?
0:01:07 > 0:01:09He's a boss. He's a beast.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11Do you think the project's going to work?
0:01:12 > 0:01:14Erm... I don't know.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18- ALL:- Old School!
0:01:29 > 0:01:32Blackbird Leys is a huge '60s estate
0:01:32 > 0:01:35that's seen riots and still has more than its share
0:01:35 > 0:01:37of antisocial behaviour.
0:01:41 > 0:01:45Here at the Academy, we're a month into our 12-week experiment,
0:01:45 > 0:01:48pairing local oldies with teenagers.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51We're hoping to see meaningful change in the mental agility
0:01:51 > 0:01:53and strength of the old
0:01:53 > 0:01:58and confidence, self-esteem and exam performance of the young.
0:01:58 > 0:01:59But there have been problems.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02Some pairs haven't been getting on.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05And one ended before it began.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07I don't want to do this.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11Can both sides now win trust,
0:02:11 > 0:02:14start listening to each other's concerns
0:02:14 > 0:02:17and achieve things they never thought possible?
0:02:18 > 0:02:19Jacub the midget.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23Jacub is one of the most disruptive kids,
0:02:23 > 0:02:26especially when he forgets to take his ADHD pills.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30Today he's in big trouble again.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32Jacub, behave yourself.
0:02:32 > 0:02:33Shut up, Ashleigh.
0:02:36 > 0:02:37- Oh, no.- Oh, mate.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41Oh, well, that's fair enough.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46- Ah, you can't do that. - But, look, you've done it.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48And there's nothing... Look, bit of advice.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51There's nothing you can do about history.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53- Nothing at all.- But you can do something about the future.
0:02:53 > 0:02:54Exactly.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58Jacub's partner is Clive.
0:02:58 > 0:03:02Can he help Jacub with his behaviour and encourage him
0:03:02 > 0:03:04to knuckle down with school?
0:03:04 > 0:03:08And maybe in the process Jacub will help Clive, too.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11That's what we hope these relationships will achieve.
0:03:11 > 0:03:16- Do you know, the great thing about having Clive is you've got him to talk to about it.- I know.
0:03:16 > 0:03:17And he's not going to be judgmental.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19- He's going to try and help.- Exactly.
0:03:19 > 0:03:20I think that's the whole idea of Old School.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22- Plus he's cool.- He's a cool dude.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30- If he really cares...- Mm-hm.
0:03:30 > 0:03:34..REALLY cares about what Clive thinks, then that's perfect.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36That's a solid relationship.
0:03:36 > 0:03:37- Yes.- Isn't it?
0:03:39 > 0:03:41I haven't played in goal for ages, but it's still going...
0:03:41 > 0:03:44Clive and Jacub have been meeting weekly
0:03:44 > 0:03:46since the project started a month ago.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50He is a boss. He's a beast.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52Drama is Jacub's best subject.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55And he'd like to become a professional actor.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58This month he is facing the ultimate test.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00A Shakespearean play.
0:04:00 > 0:04:01- Hi, Jacub.- Hello.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03- How are you?- Good, you?
0:04:03 > 0:04:05I was a bit like Jacub.
0:04:06 > 0:04:10In the sense that I was a bit of a bad boy at school.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12Right, do you want me to...
0:04:12 > 0:04:14Do you want me to sort of test you, then?
0:04:14 > 0:04:15Yeah.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18And I did have a short temper.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22I probably still have today to be honest.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25Enter Tybalt.
0:04:25 > 0:04:26Look upon my death.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29Yep.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31Then it's, "You shall find me apt...
0:04:31 > 0:04:34- That's it.- "..enough to that, sir."
0:04:35 > 0:04:38"Mercutio, thou consortest..."
0:04:38 > 0:04:39Oh, yeah.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41Thou consortest with Romeo.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43Romeo, yeah.
0:04:43 > 0:04:44I'm sure you'll get that.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46Because you're...
0:04:46 > 0:04:47You're clever.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51You seem a bit down, Jacub.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53Just, you know, be confident.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56And the more you put into it, you'll feel better yourself.
0:04:56 > 0:04:57Yeah.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01When I'm down, it feels really sad and it feels really tiring
0:05:01 > 0:05:04because I don't want to do anything. I don't want to speak to anyone.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06I can't be bothered to do anything. I get really angry.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09I get really agitated really quickly.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12Basically, you wouldn't like me if I was down.
0:05:12 > 0:05:16As long as you do it to the best of your ability
0:05:16 > 0:05:17that's all you can do.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19Right, we're on Scene 12.
0:05:19 > 0:05:20Yeah, I've actually got to go.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22- Oh, have you?- Yeah.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24Right. So, you've got to go, then.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26HE SIGHS
0:05:26 > 0:05:27Bye, then, Jacub.
0:05:27 > 0:05:28Bye.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31- See you next time. - Yeah, see you later.- Yeah.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34'I haven't seen him as down as that.'
0:05:34 > 0:05:36He's usually all, you know...
0:05:36 > 0:05:37very talkative.
0:05:37 > 0:05:41You know, I was going to really put him into the character,
0:05:41 > 0:05:43but I thought, "No, he's not with it. He's not...
0:05:43 > 0:05:45"It's not the time."
0:05:46 > 0:05:49With his 14th birthday approaching,
0:05:49 > 0:05:53Jacub's missing his dad, who sadly took his own life eight years ago.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58I went up there on my birthday.
0:05:58 > 0:06:02I sit at his grave for, like, an hour, just talking to him.
0:06:03 > 0:06:07And then I just don't like talking about it
0:06:07 > 0:06:08cos it always makes me cry.
0:06:12 > 0:06:16It's just like, I don't know why, but I get so emotional about my dad.
0:06:16 > 0:06:20I mean, yeah, I can understand why, but it's just like...
0:06:21 > 0:06:24I don't know why he done it. Because he could have had...
0:06:24 > 0:06:28He could have watched me and Tiana and Cain grow up and that.
0:06:28 > 0:06:29And yet he still done it.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37But your mum's there, isn't she?
0:06:37 > 0:06:40Yeah, I know, but she'll never be my dad.
0:06:40 > 0:06:41Right.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58At Old School, we're not just pairing up Year Nines,
0:06:58 > 0:07:00but also Year 11s.
0:07:00 > 0:07:04It's a critical year for them, as their GCSEs are looming large.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08And the big hope is that with the help of their partners
0:07:08 > 0:07:12Marlon, Charisma, Chloe and Bethany will get better marks.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19Marlon has been paired up with retired salesman Vic,
0:07:19 > 0:07:22who joined Old School hoping to fill the empty hours
0:07:22 > 0:07:25since he lost his wife two years ago.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27Marlon in the classroom environment is pretty good.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30He's what they call in modern speak a cool dude.
0:07:30 > 0:07:34He's obviously very clever and he's very well-respected.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38Army cadet Marlon is hoping the project
0:07:38 > 0:07:41will boost his school results.
0:07:41 > 0:07:42He's keen to impress Mum,
0:07:42 > 0:07:46who leaves him with friends while she's away at university.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49I speak to her daily on the phone, so it's all right.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51But I do miss her throughout the weekdays.
0:07:51 > 0:07:55But I see her on the weekend so it's all right.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58Soon they'll take an oral exam for their English GCSE.
0:07:58 > 0:08:03It tests how well they can express ideas when talking to adults.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05Start with your key talking points.
0:08:05 > 0:08:09In other words, bullet points on how it all started, et cetera.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11Very briefly.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14Today, Vic's giving Marlon the benefit of his experience
0:08:14 > 0:08:16as a public speaker.
0:08:16 > 0:08:20It's to summarise in a few words what you've said already.
0:08:20 > 0:08:24But he's not made quite the impression he hoped for.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26Well, I was just bored.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29But I endured it.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32Marlon's not alone.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35Other Year 11s are struggling, too.
0:08:35 > 0:08:41Every time I try to speak, Isabel will just jump in and talk over me.
0:08:41 > 0:08:42Yes, you were telling me.
0:08:42 > 0:08:46- So, they all tried to protect you.- They all...
0:08:46 > 0:08:49When you're doing exams, do you like to have a sort of routine?
0:08:49 > 0:08:54I used to. I used to have... a special little bag
0:08:54 > 0:08:58that I'd put pencils and things...
0:08:58 > 0:09:02I do think I would have preferred her to know a lot more about me.
0:09:02 > 0:09:06We were hearing the same complaint right across the board.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08I think we've got a bit of a major problem on
0:09:08 > 0:09:11cos the kids don't feel like they're being listened to.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13And if Old School's going to work,
0:09:13 > 0:09:15it's got to be on an equal and even playing field.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22Vic and senior partners Mel and Julia
0:09:22 > 0:09:25have set up a mock GCSE English oral exam.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29Marlon, can I ask you to please take the seat, thank you?
0:09:31 > 0:09:33Today, I'm going to talk about the Army Cadet Force.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36Which I know a lot about because I myself am a cadet.
0:09:36 > 0:09:40The Army Cadet Force is a national youth organisation which...
0:09:40 > 0:09:41After a short presentation,
0:09:41 > 0:09:46the panel test the pupil's ability to listen and respond to questions.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48Do you get to use real guns?
0:09:48 > 0:09:51We get to use .22 rifles,
0:09:51 > 0:09:53LSWs and many other weapons.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56I just had this thought.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59It's really a war game which is real.
0:09:59 > 0:10:03- Yeah.- And in many ways that sort of concerns me
0:10:03 > 0:10:07because if you've learnt all these things at your sort of age
0:10:07 > 0:10:11and then you leave, I'm thinking, "What's in your mind afterwards?"
0:10:14 > 0:10:18- Well...- Say you got into a bit of an argument with something.- Yeah.
0:10:18 > 0:10:22Would you have that sort of thought of, say, getting hold of a gun
0:10:22 > 0:10:24and doing something about it?
0:10:29 > 0:10:32Fellow Year 11 Charisma is next.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35Why do you think you're shy?
0:10:35 > 0:10:38Because you seem quite all right today, doing what you're doing.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40Yeah. Erm, I don't know. I'm really...
0:10:40 > 0:10:43I've just always been really shy. Even as a little kid.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45What do you think causes that?
0:10:45 > 0:10:46Erm...
0:10:46 > 0:10:49I have an older brother who is also really shy.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51And I guess I just...
0:10:51 > 0:10:52I watched him grow up,
0:10:52 > 0:10:55so that's where I got my shyness from, I guess.
0:10:55 > 0:11:00The thing is, by doing things as a group with other people,
0:11:00 > 0:11:04that surely should overcome some of the problems you've got.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06Now, what age are you now?
0:11:06 > 0:11:09- 15.- I would expect at that sort of age
0:11:09 > 0:11:11you'd be a bit more sort of enthusiastic and vibrant
0:11:11 > 0:11:14towards your other colleagues.
0:11:14 > 0:11:15Why don't you think that is?
0:11:15 > 0:11:19I... It's just my personality to be shy.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22But really you can't afford to be like that.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27Personally, I think Vic is a critical person.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29He has his personal point of view,
0:11:29 > 0:11:33but he should have stopped from what he was saying.
0:11:33 > 0:11:34Because the examiner wouldn't have done it.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37So, that's probably put Charisma's confidence down
0:11:37 > 0:11:39for when she goes into the exam.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41Cos she's probably scared of the examiner going,
0:11:41 > 0:11:44"Oh, I don't think it's right that you're shy."
0:11:44 > 0:11:47Last up, it's Chloe's turn.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49She doesn't want to do it.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51- Doesn't want to do it?- No.- Why?
0:11:51 > 0:11:52No? Don't want to do it?
0:11:52 > 0:11:55- Would you like to do it for a couple of minutes?- No.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57- Just a little go?- Yeah. - Just try a little bit.
0:11:57 > 0:11:58Just do the start.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01- She doesn't want to do it. - No, OK. Don't worry.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04So, what are you going to do next week when it's for real, then?
0:12:04 > 0:12:08Cos this is one opportunity you have to do this presentation
0:12:08 > 0:12:10to get a qualification.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16- Is it all right if we just leave the room quickly?- Yes.- Yeah.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18- Thank you.- Bye.
0:12:25 > 0:12:29It's worth 20% of their exam results, this particular exam.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32And I think... I'm disappointed that I've not heard
0:12:32 > 0:12:35what she had to say for herself really.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37Hi, Bethany. Is she OK?
0:12:37 > 0:12:40- Yes.- Yeah? She's all right?
0:12:40 > 0:12:43I'm just a bit concerned if she has this problem next week,
0:12:43 > 0:12:44she's going to sort of...
0:12:44 > 0:12:46She isn't going to have this problem next week.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49- Is it because we're sort of... - It is some of the things
0:12:49 > 0:12:51you lot were saying. Especially you, Vic.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53I did feel that you were a bit harsh on Charisma.
0:12:53 > 0:12:54But that's what you have to be.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57It's not, though. It is not. The examiner wouldn't be like that.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59- I don't know that. I was told... - I know, but...
0:12:59 > 0:13:03I was told, unfortunately, just to hit you hard with questions.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05And that's exactly what we did.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07I know, but you did also put forward your personal point of view.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09- Yes.- Which was not needed, I found.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11That's fine. I listen to what you're saying.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13Thank you very much.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15- Bye, Bethany.- Bye.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27It may not have been the roving success that we'd hoped.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29But at least the iGCSE panel
0:13:29 > 0:13:32shows that the kids can speak for themselves, mate.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34Well, it does, doesn't it? I mean, Bethany...
0:13:34 > 0:13:37Crikey, she wasn't afraid to give Vic a telling-off.
0:13:40 > 0:13:44The kids tackle head teacher Niall about the problem.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47I didn't really enjoy today because it wasn't really on equal terms.
0:13:47 > 0:13:48He kind of felt like a teacher.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51And he was, like, criticising me, kind of.
0:13:51 > 0:13:56I have caught on that old people don't let young people speak.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00But Year Nine Kyrone has a solution.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03Could we have, like, a meeting?
0:14:03 > 0:14:05Like, now we know our partners,
0:14:05 > 0:14:09can we do it all of us together with all of our partners?
0:14:09 > 0:14:12That is an absolutely brilliant idea.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15- The answer is yes.- Absolutely. - I think it's fantastic.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22Until now, 13-year-old Kyrone's had a reputation
0:14:22 > 0:14:24for being disruptive.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27I lived with my mum and dad until I was one.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29Then they split up.
0:14:29 > 0:14:33And then I lived with just my mum until I was 11.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36And I've lived with my nan for three years now.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39- All right, Nan.- Hi, Ky.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42Kyrone only likes to hear what he wants to hear.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44And then he used to throw a fit.
0:14:44 > 0:14:48And he still throws his little fits if he doesn't get his own way now.
0:14:50 > 0:14:54Ky's idea of a meeting is great.
0:14:54 > 0:14:55- Hello.- Hello.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58- You wouldn't happen to be Phyllis, by any chance?- I would be.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00- Hello, Phyllis, I'm Simon. Nice to meet you.- Do come in.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02Thank you very much.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05Could the project be influencing him to be more grown-up?
0:15:05 > 0:15:09Hey, what... You've got a fab house, isn't it? Fab.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11So, I have an idea.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14I think you should chair the meeting.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17And I'll support you. As will Dave.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19But I think it should be your meeting.
0:15:19 > 0:15:20- Really?- Yeah.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22It was your idea.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24It was your initiative.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26It was your voice that was heard.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29And that's an enormous skill, Ky.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31What are you going to do? Fancy it?
0:15:31 > 0:15:34- Yeah, I'll do it.- Yeah? Will you do it?- Mm-hm.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36What a man! What a man!
0:15:37 > 0:15:40Si wants me to chair the meeting.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43And when he said that I was really, really happy.
0:15:43 > 0:15:47Because it's a big thing, Old School,
0:15:47 > 0:15:48and I'm proud to be a part of it,
0:15:48 > 0:15:51let alone chair all the meetings...
0:15:51 > 0:15:53chair some meetings and stuff.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56What it's done is, it's just given you the opportunity to shine.
0:15:56 > 0:15:57And you are shining.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01You're a natural, born leader, mate.
0:16:01 > 0:16:02It'll be interesting to see
0:16:02 > 0:16:06if he plays a key role in keeping the Old School train on the track.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09And I have a feeling I think he's going to.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11He's a big personality.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14- See you tomorrow.- Yep. - Courage, mon frere.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17- See you later.- See you, Phyllis. Ta-ra, darling. Lovely to meet you.
0:16:17 > 0:16:18Thanks very much.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24Do you have any worries about it?
0:16:24 > 0:16:27Just not knowing what to say halfway through, or...
0:16:27 > 0:16:29Just, that's it.
0:16:29 > 0:16:32- Take your time.- Yeah. - That's the key. Just take your time.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35It's the day of the big meeting.
0:16:35 > 0:16:41Will Kyrone be able to keep his new-found maturity and hold his own?
0:16:41 > 0:16:43Does anyone know why we've all come here?
0:16:43 > 0:16:44No.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47Right, so we're just going to all be talking about what
0:16:47 > 0:16:50we want to achieve from Old School.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53And we're going to be talking about the problems
0:16:53 > 0:16:55that we've been having so far.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57Like, with each other.
0:16:58 > 0:17:04So, shall we start by saying what's gone wrong so far in the meetings?
0:17:04 > 0:17:06We just need to talk about that.
0:17:12 > 0:17:18Like, more than half of us said that our old partners don't listen.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20They just, like, butt in.
0:17:20 > 0:17:24And a lot of us said that.
0:17:24 > 0:17:28And we said they were treating us like a student at the school.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31They just take over, acting like a teacher.
0:17:31 > 0:17:32Bethany.
0:17:32 > 0:17:34Erm...
0:17:34 > 0:17:40I don't think that I'm that comfortable with Isabella yet.
0:17:40 > 0:17:45I don't think I'm ready to express what I have behind closed doors yet.
0:17:45 > 0:17:49So... I think there's some hiccups, but not quite there.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56I think, to be fair, relationships take time to develop.
0:17:56 > 0:18:00- Good God, yes.- It's not just an instant mix, is it?- No, no.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03I would hate to think that my partner didn't think
0:18:03 > 0:18:05I was listening to her.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07Because after all I'm here to help her.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10And she is to help me.
0:18:10 > 0:18:14I'm quite surprised, really, at the sort of adverse comments like this.
0:18:14 > 0:18:18Because I sat in on an English lesson the other week
0:18:18 > 0:18:22and everybody seemed to be quite affable towards me.
0:18:22 > 0:18:26And then we went and sat down, three of us as a panel,
0:18:26 > 0:18:28to listen to them do a presentation
0:18:28 > 0:18:31and I got a bit of flak from these girls here.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34They thought I was being a bit harsh.
0:18:34 > 0:18:40Maybe you could think about just presenting it slightly more gently.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43I was very pleased that there was some feedback.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46- Otherwise...- Fantastic, though.- It's all about communication.- Correct.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49- And I think that's a massive strength.- Yes, very much so.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51I think it's brilliant.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53Because nobody's actually wrong.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55Everybody's just actually learning.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58And that's the most important thing, isn't it?
0:18:58 > 0:19:01I think the first meeting has gone good.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04So, thank you for listening.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07- And sharing your ideas. - Well done, everybody.
0:19:07 > 0:19:08Thank you.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15I was quite took back, a little bit.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17Because he did seem very confident.
0:19:17 > 0:19:21And he did make some really, really good points.
0:19:21 > 0:19:22I think Kyrone was actually right.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24Maybe some of us oldies
0:19:24 > 0:19:27don't actually listen to what the youngsters are saying.
0:19:27 > 0:19:31Maybe we haven't got that much confidence, so we tend to gabble on.
0:19:31 > 0:19:35If everybody starts listening, things will change.
0:19:38 > 0:19:40Phew! That was a bit of a handful, wasn't it?
0:19:40 > 0:19:43- Well done, Ky.- It was. Thanks. It was harder than I thought.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45- You know, it's such early days with the project.- Yeah.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47It's a bit like being a dentist, isn't it?
0:19:47 > 0:19:49If there's any rot there, you've got to cut it out.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52- Yeah, we needed it. So... - Yeah, well done, mate.- Well done.
0:19:52 > 0:19:53You were the one in the firing line.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56- Yeah, I know.- Yes, I bet...
0:19:56 > 0:19:58I bet that seat got a bit hot, did it?
0:19:58 > 0:20:00- Good lad.- Cheers.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05We're hoping the meeting will help bring our partners closer.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10Ex-store detective Marina is on the case to find out
0:20:10 > 0:20:13about her partner Kimberly's home life.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21- This is my house! - Thank you very much.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23Well, my mum's house really.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27- So, this is my mum. - Hi. Nice to meet you.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29Nice to meet you. What is Mum's name?
0:20:29 > 0:20:31- I'm Hayley. - Hayley. Marina.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34- This is... That's me when I had long hair.- Uh-huh.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36This is my brother, Jardell.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40When he was born he was really small.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42- Yeah? - He was a kilo.
0:20:42 > 0:20:43He was a kilo?
0:20:43 > 0:20:45Yeah. Very tiny. Very, very sick.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49CHILD CRIES
0:20:49 > 0:20:50Jardell!
0:20:50 > 0:20:54Kimberly has a complicated home life and doesn't get much attention.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57My mum's on her own.
0:20:57 > 0:21:01She's got five children and she's got two disabled ones.
0:21:01 > 0:21:05Well, one's disabled and can't walk. And one's got anger management.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10- In here is the living room. - Oh, right.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13This is my brother, Jardell. Hello, Jardell.
0:21:13 > 0:21:14Hello, Jardell.
0:21:14 > 0:21:15So, how are you, then?
0:21:15 > 0:21:17- How are you doing? - I'm doing well.
0:21:17 > 0:21:18How are you doing?
0:21:18 > 0:21:20What did you do at school today?
0:21:20 > 0:21:23I did English.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26- This is my room with my name on it. - I see that, yes.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28Oh, that's a lovely room, isn't it?
0:21:28 > 0:21:30- Do you want to sit down? - I could sit down.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32I feel like I'll bash my head when I get up.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34- I'll sit down on the beanbag. - OK.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37Do you spend much time up here? Apart from sleeping?
0:21:37 > 0:21:41Erm... I try to, but sometimes my mum needs loads of help
0:21:41 > 0:21:45so I have to go down to help her.
0:21:45 > 0:21:49Sometimes I feel like my mum just doesn't listen
0:21:49 > 0:21:51or doesn't love me, but I know she does.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54And, I don't understand what's going on...
0:21:55 > 0:21:58Why doesn't she spend time with me any more?
0:21:58 > 0:22:02Do you know many people on the estate? Do you have many friends round here?
0:22:02 > 0:22:05No, I don't have any friends around here.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08I don't have that many friends. I have...
0:22:08 > 0:22:10five friends and that's it.
0:22:10 > 0:22:15- Really?- Everyone in my whole year is just horrible to me.- Why?
0:22:18 > 0:22:20It's been a lovely afternoon, darling.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22Do you want to see me to the door? I'll say bye to your mum.
0:22:22 > 0:22:26With so many siblings to look after, Kimberly barely goes out
0:22:26 > 0:22:30so Marina is planning a few treats.
0:22:30 > 0:22:31Bye, then, love. Bye.
0:22:31 > 0:22:36She never really seems to get a lot of time to do things for herself
0:22:36 > 0:22:38and that's where obviously I can perhaps help her.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40We can spend some time together.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43That may be a few trips out or whatever Kimberly thinks
0:22:43 > 0:22:45she would like to do with me.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48- DAVE:- It's funny, isn't it?
0:22:48 > 0:22:51You always think of the old being alone and isolated,
0:22:51 > 0:22:53but kids like Kimberly suffer, too.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55And Professor Christina Victor tells us
0:22:55 > 0:22:58the problem is bigger than we imagine.
0:22:58 > 0:23:02The highest levels of loneliness in Britain are older people,
0:23:02 > 0:23:05but also young adults between 15 and 24
0:23:05 > 0:23:09are particularly vulnerable to loneliness.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16In a school like this, it seems implausible that
0:23:16 > 0:23:20- some of the young people will be lonely, but they will be.- Gosh!
0:23:20 > 0:23:22It does seem as though the answer is staring us in the face...
0:23:22 > 0:23:26is to get them together, which is what we're trying to do, effectively.
0:23:26 > 0:23:30Yeah, you bring people together and they can find something in common,
0:23:30 > 0:23:32then you have a chance to build a relationship
0:23:32 > 0:23:34that is meaningful to both parties
0:23:34 > 0:23:38and that's what cures, or solves, loneliness.
0:23:38 > 0:23:43- Do you think the project is going to work?- Erm...
0:23:43 > 0:23:45I don't know is the honest answer. I don't know.
0:23:49 > 0:23:51It's time to bring in a little help.
0:23:53 > 0:23:56The basis of any good relationship is understanding.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59The old 'uns know what it's like to be young,
0:23:59 > 0:24:02but do our young 'uns know what it's like to be old?
0:24:02 > 0:24:04We've asked Dr Emily Henderson,
0:24:04 > 0:24:09a geriatrician at Bristol University, to help them find out.
0:24:09 > 0:24:13- So, who's going to try on the ageing suit?- Me.- Fantastic!
0:24:13 > 0:24:18She's got a body suit so you can experience the trials of ageing.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20Now we've got some weights that we're going to put on
0:24:20 > 0:24:21your ankles and wrists.
0:24:21 > 0:24:24Here! Has she got anything that works in reverse?
0:24:24 > 0:24:26I'm afraid not, mate, no.
0:24:26 > 0:24:31We've got some goggles that make it harder to see. That's it.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33And age is associated with hearing loss,
0:24:33 > 0:24:35so we're going to put these on you.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38Basically, it diminishes your ability to see and hear.
0:24:38 > 0:24:42- How many fingers am I holding up? - Two.- Hee-hee!
0:24:42 > 0:24:43Three!
0:24:46 > 0:24:50Jacub the Elder hits the Oxford Academy lunch rush.
0:24:53 > 0:24:57There are over two million elderly people in the UK with severe
0:24:57 > 0:25:02sight loss and over 33% with profound hearing loss.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06It can make them feel vulnerable and anxious about going out
0:25:06 > 0:25:08so they end up alone at home.
0:25:14 > 0:25:15You can't...
0:25:17 > 0:25:20How are you doing? What does this feel like? He can't cheat!
0:25:20 > 0:25:23- I know, he can't cheat! - He wouldn't be able to hear!
0:25:23 > 0:25:24OK. How...
0:25:24 > 0:25:27Are you all right? My God! You talk...
0:25:27 > 0:25:31- You even talk differently to him. This is insane!- Yeah.
0:25:32 > 0:25:36Right, do you want to go up some stairs? Do you feel confident?
0:25:37 > 0:25:39Are you all right to do this, mate, yeah?
0:25:39 > 0:25:42OK, try going up and also coming down again.
0:25:42 > 0:25:43So, you want to hold on the rail.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45Interesting! Straight away, yeah.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57Yeah, do you notice how you're making your feet wider
0:25:57 > 0:25:58so you're more stable?
0:25:59 > 0:26:03Wearing the suit made me feel like I was being weighed down,
0:26:03 > 0:26:07like I had a massive weight on my shoulders. It made me feel like...
0:26:07 > 0:26:10I don't want to be an old person like that.
0:26:10 > 0:26:14I want to be, like, a good old person who can walk and, like,
0:26:14 > 0:26:16still speak and walk properly.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18Right, Jacub. Stop there.
0:26:21 > 0:26:27- How did that feel?- Embarrassing. - Right, right.- And hard to walk.- OK.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29My vision was blurry.
0:26:29 > 0:26:33- I can't see anything and I can hardly hear anything.- OK.
0:26:33 > 0:26:37Do you think it's changed your opinion of the older
0:26:37 > 0:26:38people in the community?
0:26:38 > 0:26:41Erm, yeah, because now I know that
0:26:41 > 0:26:47if I see someone walking in a funny way or not speaking to me it's
0:26:47 > 0:26:50because they might have a problem with their eyes or hearing and
0:26:50 > 0:26:54their legs and their arms and they might not be able to walk properly.
0:26:54 > 0:26:59I think we should get Jacub back to his normal, exuberant,
0:26:59 > 0:27:02bright and energetic self.
0:27:03 > 0:27:06Yes, I think so! Come on, mate. Let's take them off.
0:27:06 > 0:27:08Let's start with your wrists.
0:27:11 > 0:27:15- Hello, Marina.- All right, darling? - Yeah.- Right, let's go for our visit.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18Marina is taking Kimberly on her first outing in ages.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21- We're off!- Right.
0:27:21 > 0:27:26Kimberly is a carer so Marina wants this to be a special day
0:27:26 > 0:27:27just for her.
0:27:27 > 0:27:30- Where do you want to start, darling? - Let's go and see the deer.
0:27:30 > 0:27:33Deer, antelope... I don't know what it is. Red deer.
0:27:33 > 0:27:37Hello! Please touch. I'll touch it.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40SHE LAUGHS
0:27:40 > 0:27:41Let's go down here.
0:27:45 > 0:27:48Oh, it's a dodo! Hello, dodo!
0:27:48 > 0:27:49MARINA LAUGHS
0:27:49 > 0:27:52Kimberly is a bit like a whirling dervish,
0:27:52 > 0:27:54racing around there, but very excited.
0:27:54 > 0:27:56It's going to eat me! Argh!
0:27:57 > 0:28:01Taking the lead, showing me all around. She absolutely loved it.
0:28:01 > 0:28:03LAUGHTER
0:28:03 > 0:28:07I feel it did quite a bit of good today, actually.
0:28:07 > 0:28:08What's this?
0:28:08 > 0:28:13- A domino cockroach and a question-mark cockroach.- Ugh!
0:28:13 > 0:28:14Oh, they're moving!
0:28:15 > 0:28:17THEY LAUGH
0:28:17 > 0:28:21It's really fun to be with Marina. She's just really fun.
0:28:21 > 0:28:25She's amazing. She's a good friend. She's really kind.
0:28:25 > 0:28:26What are these?
0:28:27 > 0:28:31- Madagascan hissing cockroach. - Oh, look.
0:28:31 > 0:28:34- It's moving its little tentacles. - Tentacles?!- Well, I don't know.
0:28:34 > 0:28:35What do you call them?
0:28:35 > 0:28:36THEY GIGGLE
0:28:36 > 0:28:38Ugh! Horrible things!
0:28:44 > 0:28:45GIGGLING
0:28:51 > 0:28:54It was fabulous. Fabadoo!
0:28:54 > 0:28:57Today was fabadoo! It was awesome.
0:28:57 > 0:29:01I really liked to see the dinosaurs with Marina and the live animals.
0:29:03 > 0:29:05Marina has broken through to Kimberly.
0:29:07 > 0:29:12For her and husband Clive, Old School is really helping, too.
0:29:12 > 0:29:13They've both struggled
0:29:13 > 0:29:16since their own son died of a drugs overdose ten years ago.
0:29:18 > 0:29:21It was a massive shock to us.
0:29:21 > 0:29:23He was quite a clever lad.
0:29:23 > 0:29:27He had a good job. We felt a little bit guilty.
0:29:27 > 0:29:31Did we do enough, you know? Was there something we should have seen?
0:29:32 > 0:29:36Being around young people is taking the edge off some of that
0:29:36 > 0:29:38devastating guilt and grief.
0:29:38 > 0:29:44Me and Marina do have a need to try and help someone.
0:29:46 > 0:29:50Clive managed to get Jacub to stick at learning his lines for the play.
0:29:50 > 0:29:52Now, Jacub wants to say thank you.
0:29:54 > 0:29:55- Hello!- Hi, Clive.
0:29:57 > 0:29:58DOOR BLEEPS
0:29:58 > 0:30:00Cool!
0:30:00 > 0:30:01Release door!
0:30:01 > 0:30:04I'm a bit nervous and excited at the same time.
0:30:04 > 0:30:06I've never been round his house.
0:30:06 > 0:30:08I don't know what it's going to be like.
0:30:08 > 0:30:11I was expecting him to have loads of antique stuff and, like,
0:30:11 > 0:30:14proper...really comfy chairs and everything.
0:30:14 > 0:30:21- I've got something for you.- Aww! That's nice of you. How are you?
0:30:21 > 0:30:23- I'm good.- Good. Come in, then. Oh, that's sweet.
0:30:23 > 0:30:27- This place is like a maze. - It is a maze. Yeah, I know.
0:30:27 > 0:30:29Come and have a sit-down, then.
0:30:29 > 0:30:32Clive has decided the time has come
0:30:32 > 0:30:35to introduce Jacub to his son, Matthew.
0:30:35 > 0:30:38That's Matthew when he was young.
0:30:38 > 0:30:42- Aw!- Probably not much younger than you there, Jacub.
0:30:42 > 0:30:43He looks so much like you.
0:30:43 > 0:30:47- He was hyperactive. - I'm very hyperactive.
0:30:47 > 0:30:49- Well, obviously I've got ADHD, but...- Yeah, he was...
0:30:49 > 0:30:52It's possible Matthew may have had that syndrome,
0:30:52 > 0:30:53but it was never diagnosed.
0:30:53 > 0:30:55This is the graveyard in Abingdon
0:30:55 > 0:30:57because we used to live in Abingdon, so we had to...
0:30:57 > 0:30:59We had him buried.
0:30:59 > 0:31:01- My dad's buried in Wilber Querry. - That's nice, isn't it?
0:31:01 > 0:31:03How long ago did your father die, Jacub?
0:31:03 > 0:31:07He died when I was about six so it's probably been about eight years.
0:31:07 > 0:31:09- Yeah.- What did he die of, if you don't mind me asking?- He...
0:31:09 > 0:31:12- Don't tell me if you don't want to. - He took his own life.
0:31:12 > 0:31:15- Oh, did he?- Yeah.- Oh! Oh, that's sad.- Yeah.- That's sad.
0:31:18 > 0:31:21'Where I've got ADHD and that, people wouldn't, like,'
0:31:21 > 0:31:23want to have a straight-on conversation with me
0:31:23 > 0:31:26because they think that I get too over the top.
0:31:26 > 0:31:29I go over the top with my hyperness.
0:31:29 > 0:31:34- Don't forget, he'll always be watching you.- Yeah.- Yeah?- Yeah.
0:31:34 > 0:31:38OK. Right, I'll see you out, then.
0:31:38 > 0:31:42'But with Clive, he just listens and I always listen with him.'
0:31:42 > 0:31:44So, I'm glad that I can open up to him about my dad
0:31:44 > 0:31:48and he can open up to me about Matthew, so, yeah, that's good.
0:31:48 > 0:31:50- I hope...- Take care.- And you. I hope you enjoy the chocolates.
0:31:50 > 0:31:52Yeah, that's very nice of you. Thank you.
0:31:52 > 0:31:55- You're welcome. Right, bye. - Bye, then.
0:31:59 > 0:32:03Jacub and Clive aren't the only ones eager to find common ground.
0:32:04 > 0:32:08- Ready?- How are you going, Kyrone? - I'm good.- How's your week been?
0:32:08 > 0:32:11But is Dave really ready to listen this time?
0:32:11 > 0:32:14I have a couple of problem grandchildren.
0:32:14 > 0:32:18My grandson, now, he has real bad anger problems.
0:32:18 > 0:32:20Most probably worse than you.
0:32:20 > 0:32:23But, in your case, you say you have an anger problem,
0:32:23 > 0:32:25- you play rugby to get rid of it. - Yeah.
0:32:25 > 0:32:28What is it that really makes you angry?
0:32:28 > 0:32:31- You know, you have to have a reason. - I think... I don't know.
0:32:31 > 0:32:32I think, like...
0:32:32 > 0:32:36Erm, at home where I live with my nan, I get my own way a lot.
0:32:36 > 0:32:39Now we're getting there.
0:32:39 > 0:32:42When I go to my mum's I don't get my own way
0:32:42 > 0:32:45because my little sister's there, my little brother's there.
0:32:45 > 0:32:50Did you choose that of your own doing? To live with your nan?
0:32:50 > 0:32:55Yeah, I did. When I was, like, nine. Because, like...
0:32:56 > 0:32:59My mum had a boyfriend. He was, like, an idiot.
0:32:59 > 0:33:00- I just moved in with my nan.- Ah!
0:33:00 > 0:33:05And that's also another reason why I get anger.
0:33:05 > 0:33:08It seems strange that I meet someone like you
0:33:08 > 0:33:11and I have a grandson exactly like you.
0:33:11 > 0:33:15Today's session I had with Kyrone I've felt was one of the best
0:33:15 > 0:33:17I've had so far.
0:33:17 > 0:33:21Because we've been talking in depth and I'm starting to learn quite
0:33:21 > 0:33:27a lot about his own life besides his actual interests, which is all good.
0:33:27 > 0:33:30I think I got my short temper from my dad,
0:33:30 > 0:33:34because his temper just goes like that.
0:33:34 > 0:33:38I think we're going to achieve quite a lot as time goes on
0:33:38 > 0:33:42because he is opening up, which is a really good thing.
0:33:42 > 0:33:44You'll find that your relationship with your mum
0:33:44 > 0:33:48and your family will get better because you're getting older
0:33:48 > 0:33:54- and you're starting to understand. - Yeah.- And... You never know.
0:33:54 > 0:33:56You might even move back home.
0:33:56 > 0:34:02It's just really good how one session just exploded. Everything.
0:34:02 > 0:34:06- And I think it went really, really well.- Have you got a class?
0:34:06 > 0:34:11- Yeah, I've got PE.- No worries. All right.
0:34:11 > 0:34:12HE GRUNTS
0:34:13 > 0:34:14Getting old!
0:34:17 > 0:34:21Some partnerships are really blossoming. But not all.
0:34:23 > 0:34:26Rick joined Old School hoping it would rekindle his life,
0:34:26 > 0:34:30but sadly he's become sick and can't continue.
0:34:31 > 0:34:35That leaves Robbie, who often misses school caring for his ill mum,
0:34:35 > 0:34:36without a partner.
0:34:38 > 0:34:43I was quite disappointed, to be fair. I'd like to continue.
0:34:43 > 0:34:47I don't want to be kicked out. I still want to be here.
0:34:47 > 0:34:49I still want to see how it's all going on.
0:34:50 > 0:34:55Until we find him another partner, I have an idea.
0:34:55 > 0:34:56I know we said we wouldn't do it,
0:34:56 > 0:35:01but I think I want to give it a go and be Robbie's temporary partner.
0:35:01 > 0:35:04Now, I know it's only temporary, cos it has to be.
0:35:04 > 0:35:06Wooooaaah...
0:35:06 > 0:35:08I don't know. I...
0:35:08 > 0:35:11Look, the thing is, we're not around all the time
0:35:11 > 0:35:12and that's what he needs
0:35:12 > 0:35:15and it's intervening in kids' lives that...
0:35:15 > 0:35:18- We're not here enough.- No, I know.
0:35:18 > 0:35:20- I know, but we've given it a month. - Right.
0:35:20 > 0:35:24If another month goes by, I think the project could lose Robbie,
0:35:24 > 0:35:27and I think if I just give a month and a bit more
0:35:27 > 0:35:30then we could keep Robbie, and I think it's worth it.
0:35:30 > 0:35:33- I'm not sure you should do it. - Well...- Genuinely, mate, I'm not.
0:35:33 > 0:35:37- I'm going to give it a go. - Are you?- Yeah.
0:35:37 > 0:35:39Well, I hope it doesn't end in tears.
0:35:41 > 0:35:43- Dave.- Hello, Robbie.
0:35:45 > 0:35:49- There you go, Robbie. That's it. I'm your older partner.- Oh, yes!
0:35:49 > 0:35:51- What do you reckon? - Very nice. Yes.
0:35:52 > 0:35:55- You don't give much away, do you? - No.
0:35:57 > 0:36:00How's things been going at school? Have you been turning up?
0:36:00 > 0:36:04- I am giving it my best and I can do good work.- Yeah, I know.
0:36:04 > 0:36:06The school have said that.
0:36:06 > 0:36:10So, you know, like, further education isn't out of the question.
0:36:10 > 0:36:13You know, it's just the next couple of years are important.
0:36:14 > 0:36:18When I finished Year 11, I just looked into a position
0:36:18 > 0:36:20at the City of Oxford College.
0:36:20 > 0:36:22But due to family issues
0:36:22 > 0:36:25I couldn't go, because it was a bus ride into town.
0:36:25 > 0:36:28I need to be somewhere closer to home.
0:36:28 > 0:36:31Many of these kids have stories that are close to my own.
0:36:32 > 0:36:36My mum had multiple sclerosis. She was very seriously handicapped.
0:36:36 > 0:36:40I come home from school three months before my A-levels
0:36:40 > 0:36:44and my dad had had a stroke. He was paralysed.
0:36:44 > 0:36:47Basically, the three months when my dad was ill,
0:36:47 > 0:36:49I didn't go into school.
0:36:49 > 0:36:53I so nearly blew it. I just scraped two A-levels. I was predicted four.
0:36:54 > 0:36:58I think, the age you are, it's so important
0:36:58 > 0:37:02that you kind of get it right. And I want you to get it right.
0:37:03 > 0:37:06'It's not easy getting these kids to open up.'
0:37:06 > 0:37:09You need to have some fun.
0:37:15 > 0:37:18Today is the big day for Jacub.
0:37:18 > 0:37:21At the start of term, he was very unsure of himself
0:37:21 > 0:37:23and lacking in confidence.
0:37:23 > 0:37:26Tonight, he's meant to be stepping out in front of an audience
0:37:26 > 0:37:28to perform Romeo And Juliet.
0:37:31 > 0:37:33Has Clive, and Old School,
0:37:33 > 0:37:36given him enough faith in himself to hold it together?
0:37:37 > 0:37:41I'm very nervous...and I feel sick.
0:37:41 > 0:37:44I'm calming down! Trying to, but still...
0:37:44 > 0:37:48I've never done a performance in front of, like, 200-and-something people before
0:37:48 > 0:37:51and it's going to be really scary.
0:37:52 > 0:37:54It's 11.30am
0:37:54 > 0:37:58and Miss Powell gathers the cast together in the dining hall.
0:37:58 > 0:38:01Number one - we are representing the Oxford Academy
0:38:01 > 0:38:05when we are at Headington girls' school.
0:38:05 > 0:38:10I don't want a single word of negativity about our school.
0:38:11 > 0:38:14If there is any misbehaving, not listening,
0:38:14 > 0:38:17you are coming straight back in the car back here.
0:38:17 > 0:38:18JACUB LAUGHS
0:38:18 > 0:38:21Listen to me. It's not funny, Jacub.
0:38:21 > 0:38:23- Sorry.- This is exactly what I'm talking about.- OK.
0:38:23 > 0:38:26- Hello, Jacub.- Hello!- How are you?
0:38:26 > 0:38:30Clive will be with Jacub throughout the day's rehearsals
0:38:30 > 0:38:32and the evening performance.
0:38:33 > 0:38:35JACUB SQUEAKS
0:38:37 > 0:38:41- I ain't took my tablet. - You haven't taken your tablet?- No.
0:38:41 > 0:38:44You should be all right when you're acting, then.
0:38:44 > 0:38:45SQUEAKING CONTINUES
0:38:45 > 0:38:47I can't stop making that noise.
0:38:47 > 0:38:50- What made you forget them? - I don't know.
0:38:50 > 0:38:53I just woke up, didn't take it.
0:38:53 > 0:38:54Miss, can you buy me a drink?
0:38:54 > 0:38:56'Bit of a problem.'
0:38:56 > 0:39:00Jacub forgot to take his tablet this morning. Well, his medicine.
0:39:00 > 0:39:03He seems quite hyper... and acting very strange.
0:39:06 > 0:39:08SQUEAKING NOISES CONTINUE
0:39:08 > 0:39:12So, I'm a bit concerned that, erm, as the day goes on,
0:39:12 > 0:39:17he's not going to be able to do his lines, or he might forget them.
0:39:17 > 0:39:19Chips!
0:39:19 > 0:39:20Sausage!
0:39:20 > 0:39:23Hopefully it will turn out OK but...
0:39:23 > 0:39:26you know, I'm a bit concerned and it's a worry.
0:39:28 > 0:39:30JACUB LAUGHS
0:39:30 > 0:39:32This could ruin it for everyone.
0:39:32 > 0:39:35The only hope is to make a detour on the way to the theatre
0:39:35 > 0:39:37to pick up his medication.
0:39:42 > 0:39:44- Mum!- Your tablets.- I know.
0:39:44 > 0:39:45Come here!
0:39:45 > 0:39:48Jacub's mum has yet to find childcare,
0:39:48 > 0:39:50so she may miss seeing him perform.
0:39:52 > 0:39:54You've got to remember to take them every morning, mate,
0:39:54 > 0:39:55because Miss Davies rings me
0:39:55 > 0:39:58and I get frustrated speaking to her about it.
0:39:58 > 0:40:01- You know you have to take it. - I'm sorry.- All right.
0:40:01 > 0:40:03Right. Good luck.
0:40:03 > 0:40:06- Yeah? Have fun.- Bye! - Show them your best.
0:40:08 > 0:40:11If my mum don't come to the performance I'll feel a little upset
0:40:11 > 0:40:15but Clive's coming to it, so I won't be that upset.
0:40:16 > 0:40:20Because, like, me and Clive, we're, like, best friends now.
0:40:20 > 0:40:22Ah, well...
0:40:22 > 0:40:24I've told Jacub that...
0:40:24 > 0:40:26I'm here for him.
0:40:26 > 0:40:29I think he appreciated that.
0:40:29 > 0:40:33And we've gone over his lines a few times and he seems to be...
0:40:33 > 0:40:37you know, he seems to know them more or less.
0:40:39 > 0:40:40But can Jacub pull it off?
0:40:41 > 0:40:43This is your world.
0:40:44 > 0:40:48'Robbie is taking me to his favourite hot spot,
0:40:48 > 0:40:49'the local gaming store.'
0:40:49 > 0:40:53- All right. So, this is your natural habitat.- Sort of, yeah.
0:40:53 > 0:40:55- Yeah.- I like it round here.
0:40:55 > 0:40:56'I'm a fish out of water here
0:40:56 > 0:40:59'but I hope this will bring him out of his shell.'
0:40:59 > 0:41:00Shall we have a go?
0:41:00 > 0:41:04That's the problem, though. I think I could really get locked into it
0:41:04 > 0:41:07- but I'd feel I'd be wasting time. - It's not wasting time.
0:41:07 > 0:41:11It's a good hobby. It's better than watching telly.
0:41:11 > 0:41:13Watching telly is passively stimulating,
0:41:13 > 0:41:16where playing games is actively stimulating.
0:41:16 > 0:41:19- Steady on! That's how I make a living! - DAVE LAUGHS
0:41:19 > 0:41:23- It's quite active because you're using your brain to think.- Yeah?
0:41:23 > 0:41:28Like, moving the controller and, like, being active with the game.
0:41:29 > 0:41:32'It's great to see him passionate about something.
0:41:32 > 0:41:35'Time to let Robbie teach me.'
0:41:35 > 0:41:37- Turning.- Steering, aye?- Yes.
0:41:39 > 0:41:41Oh, sugar! I'm getting out.
0:41:41 > 0:41:43You keep on going. Don't ever stop.
0:41:43 > 0:41:45Don't stop believing, Dave.
0:41:45 > 0:41:47A bit heavy on the brakes, I think.
0:41:47 > 0:41:49Don't always brake round the corners.
0:41:49 > 0:41:53- Just let go of the accelerator and let yourself fly across it.- Drift?
0:41:53 > 0:41:55You've just got to keep up.
0:41:55 > 0:41:57I know, but it's like Driving Miss Daisy.
0:41:57 > 0:41:59- Let yourself go around the corner. - All right. I'll accelerate.
0:41:59 > 0:42:02I'll go for it, Robbie, but I know how it's going to end up.
0:42:02 > 0:42:05When you're going in a straight line is the best time to accelerate.
0:42:05 > 0:42:09- Oh! Marginally better.- You see? - Yeah, no, I'm with you.- You're getting there.- Thank you.
0:42:09 > 0:42:13- Where are the rest of them? - Um, they're quite a bit ahead.
0:42:13 > 0:42:15Just a little bit, obviously.
0:42:15 > 0:42:20- What happened? I was doing all right.- You finished.- Oh!- It's over.
0:42:20 > 0:42:23- I was just getting warmed up. - The race is done.
0:42:24 > 0:42:27- Quite enjoyed that.- Did you, now? - Yeah.- Looked like it was.- Yeah.
0:42:27 > 0:42:30- It was getting better.- Yeah.
0:42:30 > 0:42:33- Remember, glide across the corners. - Glide. I know.
0:42:33 > 0:42:36I just worry about wasting time. Do you think I should buy it?
0:42:36 > 0:42:39- Do you want to buy it? It's your decision.- What do you think?
0:42:41 > 0:42:42'I feel for Robbie, I really do.'
0:42:42 > 0:42:44Hiya. Thank you.
0:42:45 > 0:42:46- It's his fault.- Ha-ha!
0:42:47 > 0:42:51'He's a smart kid and I really need to find him the partner he deserves.'
0:42:51 > 0:42:55Thank you very much. This is me. Welcome to the 21st century.
0:43:00 > 0:43:02What's Minecraft about?
0:43:02 > 0:43:05Oh, it's this game made by this Swedish developer...
0:43:07 > 0:43:10EXCITED CHATTER
0:43:13 > 0:43:15It's an hour until curtain up
0:43:15 > 0:43:18and Jacub's medication doesn't seem to be working.
0:43:21 > 0:43:24- How are you feeling?- I'm nervous. I don't want to wear these.
0:43:24 > 0:43:26- Brilliant. I think that's the one. - I know.
0:43:26 > 0:43:29I just don't want to wear these trousers, as well.
0:43:29 > 0:43:31They're all right. They look good.
0:43:31 > 0:43:34I feel really uncomfortable in these trousers.
0:43:34 > 0:43:36That's all right. Doesn't matter.
0:43:37 > 0:43:40Stress is bad for Jacub.
0:43:40 > 0:43:41It feeds his ADHD.
0:43:41 > 0:43:44He needs help to focus and stay calm.
0:43:46 > 0:43:48Come on, let's go and have a chat.
0:43:48 > 0:43:52- I'm just nervous.- Yeah, but don't... Those people that are all there,
0:43:52 > 0:43:57when those lights are on in the... you know, in where the seats are,
0:43:57 > 0:43:59you can't see those people.
0:43:59 > 0:44:01Yeah.
0:44:01 > 0:44:02Don't be nervous.
0:44:02 > 0:44:06- I know it's easy saying "don't be nervous"...- Exactly!
0:44:06 > 0:44:09It's all right saying "don't be nervous"
0:44:09 > 0:44:11but you're not the one being onstage.
0:44:11 > 0:44:14I know, but you're brave enough and you're confident enough.
0:44:14 > 0:44:17I think you'll be all right.
0:44:17 > 0:44:18Yeah.
0:44:20 > 0:44:24The Old School posse has just turned up to cheer them on.
0:44:24 > 0:44:28Smile. Express what you're saying and just enjoy it. Don't panic.
0:44:28 > 0:44:31If you forget anything, I'll prompt you, if you need it. Go for it.
0:44:31 > 0:44:33Really enjoy it.
0:44:33 > 0:44:36My heart is pounding.
0:44:36 > 0:44:37Come on, guys!
0:44:40 > 0:44:43The other senior members are blissfully unaware
0:44:43 > 0:44:45of the crisis brewing behind the scenes.
0:44:47 > 0:44:50I'm nervous for them, aren't you?
0:44:50 > 0:44:53I hope it goes well, yeah, poor little sods.
0:44:53 > 0:44:55Good evening, ladies and gentlemen,
0:44:55 > 0:44:57and welcome to this evening's performance
0:44:57 > 0:45:00of Shakespeare School Festival here at the theatre at Headington.
0:45:00 > 0:45:03We have four very brilliant shows for you this evening.
0:45:03 > 0:45:05The first up is Oxford Academy
0:45:05 > 0:45:09with their production of Romeo And Juliet, directed by Miss Pearson.
0:45:09 > 0:45:12APPLAUSE
0:45:18 > 0:45:20What, art thou drawn amongst these heartless minds?
0:45:20 > 0:45:22Turn thee, Benvolio, look upon thy death.
0:45:22 > 0:45:24I do but keep the peace.
0:45:24 > 0:45:26What, drawn, and talk of peace!
0:45:26 > 0:45:29I hate the word as I hate hell, all Montagues, and thee.
0:45:35 > 0:45:37Well, peace be with you, sir. Here comes my man.
0:45:37 > 0:45:39Romeo, the love I bear thee can afford
0:45:39 > 0:45:42no better term than this - thou art a villain.
0:45:52 > 0:45:55MUSIC: "O Fortuna" from Carmina Burana by Carl Orff
0:46:00 > 0:46:03CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:46:14 > 0:46:17At the start of term, Jacub was regularly in detention
0:46:17 > 0:46:19and even getting violent.
0:46:19 > 0:46:23But Clive has helped him earn the chance to celebrate.
0:46:23 > 0:46:26- My heart can't stop pounding. - Well done!
0:46:26 > 0:46:28My heart can't stop pounding, man!
0:46:29 > 0:46:30EXCITED SHRIEKS
0:46:32 > 0:46:33My heart's going like that.
0:46:33 > 0:46:36My heart's going!
0:46:36 > 0:46:40Now that me and Jacub seem to have this bond
0:46:40 > 0:46:44- I think he trusts me now to a certain point -
0:46:44 > 0:46:48I'd like to delve a little bit deeper into his ADHD
0:46:48 > 0:46:51and what he feels, you know,
0:46:51 > 0:46:54with his father dying.
0:46:54 > 0:46:57Three, two, one.
0:46:57 > 0:46:58Whaaay!
0:47:00 > 0:47:03One more. Hang on. Oh, no, it's Snapchat.
0:47:05 > 0:47:09Having Clive with me, it means the world because, like,
0:47:09 > 0:47:13I don't think I would have been able to do what I done.
0:47:13 > 0:47:15Clive's a person that can encourage you to do things
0:47:15 > 0:47:18that you wouldn't think that you could do.
0:47:18 > 0:47:21- That was brilliant, son. Well done. - Cheers.
0:47:21 > 0:47:23Top man.
0:47:23 > 0:47:25'It's changed my life completely
0:47:25 > 0:47:28'and I think a lot more people should start doing it'
0:47:28 > 0:47:32because it could change their life and...
0:47:32 > 0:47:35I reckon it's just a whole different thing to do
0:47:35 > 0:47:38and I reckon it's a brilliant thing to do altogether.
0:47:45 > 0:47:49It's not just Jacub who's benefiting from being centre stage.
0:47:49 > 0:47:52I've heard Kimberly's come up with a great idea
0:47:52 > 0:47:56which goes to the very heart of what Old School is all about.
0:47:56 > 0:48:00The early-morning bustle, I can hear it...behind the door!
0:48:02 > 0:48:06Good morning! How are you? Hi, Hayley, I'm Si. Nice to meet you.
0:48:06 > 0:48:08- Nice to meet you. - And you, and you. Hey!
0:48:08 > 0:48:11Kimberly, how are you doing, darling? Hello!
0:48:11 > 0:48:15Don't you look bright? And breezy. Let me know what you need us to do.
0:48:15 > 0:48:18Can Simon take you to the door? In your wheelchair?
0:48:18 > 0:48:21Do you know you're taking me?
0:48:21 > 0:48:24It's busy this morning.
0:48:24 > 0:48:26- Have a good day.- Have a good day.
0:48:28 > 0:48:29Bye.
0:48:29 > 0:48:31Brilliant.
0:48:32 > 0:48:36With the kids off to school, me and Kimberly finally get to chat.
0:48:36 > 0:48:40- You and Mam are on quite a strict timescale, aren't you?- Yeah.
0:48:40 > 0:48:45- In the morning, it's really busy. - Very, very busy.
0:48:45 > 0:48:48I like helping my mum. It makes me feel good inside.
0:48:48 > 0:48:50You just need some time for you.
0:48:50 > 0:48:54Because I think you are an incredibly bright young woman.
0:48:54 > 0:48:57And you're full of ideas.
0:48:57 > 0:49:00And it's...Old School's become a really good forum for you,
0:49:00 > 0:49:03so you can kind of step into the limelight a bit.
0:49:03 > 0:49:05Which is great.
0:49:05 > 0:49:08Hence the idea for the Old School Games.
0:49:08 > 0:49:12Kimberly's come up with a really interesting concept.
0:49:12 > 0:49:15She's come up with the intergenerational games.
0:49:15 > 0:49:17I think the feeling is that we're all going to let her run with it
0:49:17 > 0:49:22because she understands the value of getting the community together,
0:49:22 > 0:49:24getting them working as a team together,
0:49:24 > 0:49:28making sure those pairs are starting to bond.
0:49:28 > 0:49:30Brilliant.
0:49:30 > 0:49:35And I think that it'll do enormous good for Kimberly's confidence.
0:49:35 > 0:49:38It's a great idea because it's incredibly important
0:49:38 > 0:49:43for...the older partners of Old School
0:49:43 > 0:49:45to keep active.
0:49:45 > 0:49:48And you've picked up on that.
0:49:48 > 0:49:51It's about being physically active, but it's also about being
0:49:51 > 0:49:54- emotionally and mentally active, isn't it?- Yeah, definitely.
0:49:54 > 0:49:58And making new friends and teamwork and participation things.
0:49:58 > 0:50:02So, the games is going to help and I think that's brilliant.
0:50:02 > 0:50:04You're going to be kind of master of ceremonies.
0:50:04 > 0:50:07- Big day today, then, isn't it? - Yes. Definitely.
0:50:07 > 0:50:10- I'm going to be really excited. - To infinity and beyond, as they say.
0:50:10 > 0:50:12To infinity and beyond.
0:50:12 > 0:50:13Well done, mate.
0:50:13 > 0:50:14Great idea.
0:50:18 > 0:50:20With the partnerships beginning to take root,
0:50:20 > 0:50:24is it too soon to reach out, recruit more locals...
0:50:24 > 0:50:27And, crucially, find a new partner for Robbie?
0:50:27 > 0:50:30With this in mind, along with Kimberly's games,
0:50:30 > 0:50:33we're hosting an Old School fair.
0:50:37 > 0:50:41- We've got Isabella and Bethany running a food stall.- Get in!
0:50:41 > 0:50:43Dave and Wes's traditional meat raffle.
0:50:43 > 0:50:46Winner, winner, chicken dinner!
0:50:46 > 0:50:49Jacub and Clive's free-kick zone.
0:50:49 > 0:50:52CHEERING
0:50:52 > 0:50:54That was a shot!
0:50:54 > 0:50:58Oh, and it seems Kyrone has an idea too.
0:50:58 > 0:51:02What is that? And what are they?
0:51:02 > 0:51:04Basically,
0:51:04 > 0:51:06you two are going to go in there.
0:51:06 > 0:51:10Hope you're getting a lot of money for this. How much are you charging?
0:51:10 > 0:51:1420 pence a sponge? You're having a laugh! We're going to be soaked!
0:51:14 > 0:51:16How much are you hoping to raise?
0:51:16 > 0:51:18If you say 400 quid, I'm going to murder you!
0:51:19 > 0:51:21400.
0:51:23 > 0:51:27With hundreds of people who've heard about Old School,
0:51:27 > 0:51:30it's our job to try and convince them to join us.
0:51:30 > 0:51:33Hi, everybody, welcome, one and all,
0:51:33 > 0:51:36to the most marvellously spectacular Oxford Academy.
0:51:36 > 0:51:39Amazing school.
0:51:39 > 0:51:43And welcome, to those that don't know us, to our Old School family.
0:51:43 > 0:51:47We want to spread the word to the wider community.
0:51:47 > 0:51:49We want to leave a legacy for Old School.
0:51:49 > 0:51:52We want it to go on, we don't want it to disappear
0:51:52 > 0:51:53and then it all to fizzle out.
0:51:53 > 0:51:56If you're interested in getting involved with Old School,
0:51:56 > 0:52:00either as an older partner, or as a younger partner,
0:52:00 > 0:52:02please just sign up.
0:52:02 > 0:52:03It doesn't commit you to anything.
0:52:03 > 0:52:05There'll be no phone calls next week.
0:52:05 > 0:52:08We're thinking about next term or the term after.
0:52:08 > 0:52:12- Thank you very much, have a great time.- Thank you.
0:52:12 > 0:52:14APPLAUSE
0:52:16 > 0:52:19Who would have thought at the start of term that we could
0:52:19 > 0:52:21generate this much interest?
0:52:22 > 0:52:25It feels like the whole of Blackbird Leys has turned out
0:52:25 > 0:52:27to see what's going on.
0:52:27 > 0:52:30- Hello, dear. How are you?- Very well.
0:52:30 > 0:52:33- What are you doing?- Keep pedalling. Keep the cocktails going.
0:52:33 > 0:52:36- I've got a lad called Marlon who I'm paired up with.- Oh, right?
0:52:36 > 0:52:39They teach us things and we teach them things.
0:52:39 > 0:52:42Are you interested in taking part, because there's a couple
0:52:42 > 0:52:45of spare students that would like to be sort of mentored?
0:52:45 > 0:52:48- Really?- Yes, there's Robbie and Chloe.- Yeah?
0:52:48 > 0:52:51Well, Mel and Vic are certainly doing their bit,
0:52:51 > 0:52:53so I guess we should too.
0:52:53 > 0:52:55If we must, Dave, if we must.
0:52:55 > 0:52:58Go on, shall we have one each?
0:52:58 > 0:53:00Yes, we can... Righto.
0:53:00 > 0:53:03Step back! Step back, they're heavy!
0:53:05 > 0:53:06Oooh!
0:53:06 > 0:53:08Hey, hold on, hold on!
0:53:08 > 0:53:10There's got to be a line. Go back a bit!
0:53:14 > 0:53:15I'll stand here, yeah?
0:53:15 > 0:53:17Yeah, a bit further back, you!
0:53:17 > 0:53:20I'll still hit you a bit further back!
0:53:23 > 0:53:26- Flipping heck!- I'm hitting him now.
0:53:28 > 0:53:30- Oh!- That was a good 'un!
0:53:32 > 0:53:35Robbie is on the lookout for a new senior partner
0:53:35 > 0:53:37and has pulled out his trump card,
0:53:37 > 0:53:40the offer of free IT advice.
0:53:40 > 0:53:45I do have a computer at home, but it's not running at its best.
0:53:45 > 0:53:47- I'm trying to get it to work. - Oh, I see.
0:53:47 > 0:53:50- I'm thinking of building my own. - You are?- Yeah...
0:53:50 > 0:53:52Gosh, that sounds wonderful.
0:53:52 > 0:53:55- Yes, it's quite complicated. - You are clever.
0:53:56 > 0:53:59Could you see yourself being interested as partnering Robbie?
0:53:59 > 0:54:02Yes, I would. I find him very interesting, you know.
0:54:02 > 0:54:05We seem to get on like a house on fire.
0:54:05 > 0:54:07He can help me an awful lot.
0:54:07 > 0:54:09I think I could boost his self-esteem a bit, you know.
0:54:09 > 0:54:12- Yes, I think you could help. - Jolly him along.
0:54:12 > 0:54:16Result! It looks like we might have a partner for Robbie after all.
0:54:16 > 0:54:18This is amazing.
0:54:18 > 0:54:22And with the crowd swelling, it's time for Kimberly's big moment.
0:54:22 > 0:54:25And there's someone more interested than most.
0:54:25 > 0:54:27- Oh, my gosh!- All right?
0:54:27 > 0:54:30Oh, my gosh! Oh, yeah!
0:54:30 > 0:54:32What are you doing here?
0:54:32 > 0:54:34I've come in to help you with your thing.
0:54:36 > 0:54:40I wanted my mum to come, but I didn't know if she could,
0:54:40 > 0:54:41with the babies and that.
0:54:41 > 0:54:44The Old School Games are about to begin.
0:54:44 > 0:54:47Before it started I was really scared,
0:54:47 > 0:54:50but with my mum there to support me I knew it was going to be OK.
0:54:50 > 0:54:53Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls,
0:54:53 > 0:54:56I pronounce the Old School Games are now officially open.
0:54:56 > 0:54:58CHEERING
0:54:58 > 0:55:00Old School!
0:55:00 > 0:55:02APPLAUSE
0:55:02 > 0:55:05Could the partners please make their way down to the starting point?
0:55:05 > 0:55:07- Right.- Let the games begin!
0:55:08 > 0:55:11Could you all have your toes behind the line, please?
0:55:14 > 0:55:15Five, four, three, two...
0:55:15 > 0:55:17WHISTLE BLOWS
0:55:22 > 0:55:24Now they're going to go up against each other.
0:55:24 > 0:55:27Four, three, two...
0:55:27 > 0:55:29WHISTLE BLOWS
0:55:29 > 0:55:33At the start of term, these two isolated groups came together
0:55:33 > 0:55:36uncertain and unsure of each other.
0:55:36 > 0:55:38Just look at them now.
0:55:38 > 0:55:42For today, at least, they are uniting.
0:55:42 > 0:55:47Everyone looks more sprightly, and they're clearly having a good time.
0:55:48 > 0:55:53And in everyone's eyes, Kimberly has gone to infinity and beyond.
0:55:54 > 0:55:56This is definitely a new Kimberly.
0:55:56 > 0:55:59I've never seen a Kimberly like this before.
0:55:59 > 0:56:02It's almost like there's a light shining inside her, you know?
0:56:02 > 0:56:05There's a candle that went out, and now her candle has been lit,
0:56:05 > 0:56:09and she is absolutely loving it. She really is loving it.
0:56:09 > 0:56:12Kimberly's just wonderful. She's thoroughly enjoying it.
0:56:12 > 0:56:16It's been a brilliant afternoon for both of us, I think.
0:56:16 > 0:56:20A big round of applause for Kimberly, because it was her idea.
0:56:20 > 0:56:22- It is amazing.- Well done, Kimberly.
0:56:24 > 0:56:26It's made me really happy.
0:56:26 > 0:56:31This is, like, the best day of my life that's ever happened.
0:56:32 > 0:56:35And as the fair draws to a close,
0:56:35 > 0:56:37dare we hope that we're onto something?
0:56:38 > 0:56:42With so many locals coming into the school, I think we're
0:56:42 > 0:56:45beginning to build bridges and heal divisions between the school
0:56:45 > 0:56:48and the people that it serves.
0:56:48 > 0:56:50Brilliant, a great community feel.
0:56:50 > 0:56:53Lots of love, lots of warmth, and every single person from today
0:56:53 > 0:56:55walked out with a smile on their face.
0:56:55 > 0:56:57Now, that has to be a success.
0:56:58 > 0:57:02I think we've got something that really is valid. It's working.
0:57:02 > 0:57:06It's how we go forward to ensure its success, how it's administered,
0:57:06 > 0:57:10how it's funded, you know, how it's going to keep going, really.
0:57:17 > 0:57:21Next time - as test results come in for young...
0:57:21 > 0:57:23Three, two, one...
0:57:23 > 0:57:26- ..and old...- Is it still going?
0:57:26 > 0:57:28Has the experiment worked?
0:57:28 > 0:57:33I've got to focus. Got to be sharp, because I'm nervous as well.
0:57:33 > 0:57:34And, can it continue?
0:57:34 > 0:57:37What sort of money are we talking about?
0:57:37 > 0:57:39We would need £35,000 plus.
0:57:39 > 0:57:41What's the reality if we don't raise that?
0:57:41 > 0:57:43The project won't exist.
0:57:44 > 0:57:49What do you think about the younger and older generations of today?
0:57:49 > 0:57:55Well, to find out more and have your say, go to...
0:57:55 > 0:57:58And follow the link to the Open University.
