0:00:42 > 0:00:44Excuse me, is this place free?

0:00:44 > 0:00:47Yeah, of course. Thank you.

0:00:51 > 0:00:52Oh, cool.

0:00:52 > 0:00:54Your books.

0:00:54 > 0:00:56Thank you.

0:00:56 > 0:01:00Especially that one. You're into the early goldsmiths, yeah?

0:01:00 > 0:01:04I am interested in local history generally.

0:01:04 > 0:01:06I know a lot about my birthplace, Botswana,

0:01:06 > 0:01:09but very little about my adoptive home.

0:01:09 > 0:01:11It is time to put that right.

0:01:13 > 0:01:14Are you here for the lecture?

0:01:17 > 0:01:20"The Lock-makers of Wolverhampton".

0:01:20 > 0:01:22I am. Richard Wright is totally awesome.

0:01:23 > 0:01:26In that case, I will come. Thank you.

0:01:27 > 0:01:31It is very refreshing to see a young person studying in the library.

0:01:31 > 0:01:34Got no choice, if I want to be a history teacher.

0:01:34 > 0:01:38I was referring to the books, rather than the internet.

0:01:38 > 0:01:40It is very unusual.

0:01:40 > 0:01:43I've always loved books, ever since I was little.

0:01:43 > 0:01:46I even like the way they smell, especially when they're old.

0:01:46 > 0:01:49Does that sound daft? Not at all.

0:01:51 > 0:01:53It's ten to.

0:01:53 > 0:01:55I want to get a seat at the front.

0:01:55 > 0:01:57I'm Destiny, by the way.

0:01:57 > 0:01:58Mrs Tembe.

0:02:01 > 0:02:03I'll probably see you in there.

0:02:09 > 0:02:12I'm just saying, we have to look at all the options.

0:02:12 > 0:02:13There aren't any.

0:02:13 > 0:02:15We can't send Joe to Pineborough,

0:02:15 > 0:02:17unless you want him to end up with an ASBO.

0:02:17 > 0:02:18What about Heathdean?

0:02:18 > 0:02:20I told you, it's C of E.

0:02:20 > 0:02:22Lesser of the two evils, surely?

0:02:22 > 0:02:25Do you seriously want your son to end up a Bible basher?

0:02:25 > 0:02:28Holy Joe. Does have a ring to it.

0:02:28 > 0:02:29I'm glad you find it amusing,

0:02:29 > 0:02:33because living in the wrong catchment area isn't my fault.

0:02:33 > 0:02:36If you recall, I had absolutely no say in the purchase of our house.

0:02:36 > 0:02:39Which I couldn't admit to Kirsty - I would seem even more pathetic.

0:02:39 > 0:02:41Please don't drag all that up. It's pointless.

0:02:41 > 0:02:43I quite agree. So we're back to square one.

0:02:43 > 0:02:45We'll have to go private.

0:02:45 > 0:02:47Absolutely not.

0:02:47 > 0:02:49So what are we going to do, then?

0:02:54 > 0:02:58Welcome, everyone, to "Lock-makers of Wolverhampton".

0:02:58 > 0:03:00Excuse me, please. Thank you.

0:03:00 > 0:03:03I'm Richard Wright, as you've probably gleaned,

0:03:03 > 0:03:06and I hope to share with you my fascination

0:03:06 > 0:03:09for these extraordinary early craftsmen

0:03:09 > 0:03:12who...

0:03:12 > 0:03:14who, erm...

0:03:14 > 0:03:17whose trade...er...

0:03:17 > 0:03:22Anyway, my research has focused mainly on the 18th century.

0:03:22 > 0:03:24GROANS

0:03:27 > 0:03:29Ohh, are you all right?

0:03:34 > 0:03:35Zip it?

0:03:37 > 0:03:39Oh, I get it, you can't talk.

0:03:39 > 0:03:42Tell me what you need. Give me a sign.

0:03:44 > 0:03:48Thumb... Oh, I get it! Thumb, sounds like dumb?

0:03:48 > 0:03:51Two thumbs. Let me think.

0:03:54 > 0:03:55Files.

0:03:55 > 0:03:58Files sounds like...piles?

0:03:59 > 0:04:01Writing in files.

0:04:02 > 0:04:03Paperwork!

0:04:04 > 0:04:06Praying? You are...

0:04:06 > 0:04:08Wait a minute, I've got it.

0:04:08 > 0:04:11You're saying please let me do my paperwork?

0:04:13 > 0:04:16Are you sure you don't need to see a doctor yourself?

0:04:19 > 0:04:20Oh, sorry, almost forgot.

0:04:20 > 0:04:23You've got a patient care meeting at two o'clock.

0:04:25 > 0:04:27You're very kind. Thank you so much.

0:04:27 > 0:04:29Very enjoyable, thank you.

0:04:31 > 0:04:34Well, that was most informative.

0:04:34 > 0:04:36Time for a cup of tea.

0:04:36 > 0:04:38What?

0:04:38 > 0:04:41Tea. Perhaps you would like to join me?

0:04:41 > 0:04:48Oh, sorry - no, thanks. I've...got to get back to school.

0:04:48 > 0:04:51Well, I will walk with you, then.

0:04:51 > 0:04:54No, it's OK. Listen, maybe I'll see you here again.

0:04:54 > 0:04:56Take care, yeah?

0:04:57 > 0:05:01Well...you take care, Destiny.

0:05:05 > 0:05:07I thought you were going.

0:05:07 > 0:05:12On second thoughts, I think I will stay in the library

0:05:12 > 0:05:14just for a little longer.

0:05:14 > 0:05:16Right.

0:05:16 > 0:05:18Bye.

0:05:28 > 0:05:31I'd like to go and take a look at Heathdean.

0:05:31 > 0:05:35Daniel, it's an under-resourced state school. Who says?

0:05:35 > 0:05:39You're making an assumption, and so am I. And we shouldn't.

0:05:39 > 0:05:43Right. OK, let's do it. This very afternoon. Today?

0:05:43 > 0:05:46Not chickening out, are you? No. It was my idea.

0:05:46 > 0:05:50I'm so going to enjoy watching you struggle to evade the inquisition.

0:05:50 > 0:05:53It shouldn't be hard. A person can be moral without going to church.

0:05:53 > 0:05:54SHE SNORTS

0:05:54 > 0:05:56OK!

0:05:56 > 0:05:59Right. OK.

0:05:59 > 0:06:01This'll do.

0:06:01 > 0:06:04No self-respecting historian would be seen dead in Romantic Fiction.

0:06:04 > 0:06:07Destiny, why didn't you tell me you were pregnant?

0:06:07 > 0:06:09I didn't want to be a burden to you.

0:06:09 > 0:06:11Say something!

0:06:11 > 0:06:15I'm lost for words. How could you even think that?

0:06:15 > 0:06:18I was going to have the baby adopted, but now...

0:06:18 > 0:06:19CLATTER

0:06:20 > 0:06:22Mrs Tembe?

0:06:22 > 0:06:25Destiny! Are you all right?

0:06:25 > 0:06:28Yeah. I was just have a catch-up with my Uncle Richard.

0:06:28 > 0:06:30Your uncle.

0:06:30 > 0:06:32Well, I was just browsing the library

0:06:32 > 0:06:33and carelessly dropped my book.

0:06:38 > 0:06:40How kind. Thank you.

0:06:40 > 0:06:43You obviously have a broad taste, Mrs Tembe.

0:06:43 > 0:06:45Are you interested in True Crime?

0:06:45 > 0:06:47No, not at all.

0:06:47 > 0:06:51True Crime section it is, then. We might get some privacy there.

0:06:56 > 0:06:58Good afternoon.

0:07:00 > 0:07:02KNOCK AT DOOR Yeah?

0:07:02 > 0:07:03Mrs Traynor's running late.

0:07:03 > 0:07:06So I've booked her in for tomorrow instead. Ah, OK. Cheers.

0:07:07 > 0:07:10You know that character in Stars Wars,

0:07:10 > 0:07:13who's almost human but is really hairy and makes animal noises?

0:07:13 > 0:07:17Chewbacca? Yes.

0:07:17 > 0:07:18What about him?

0:07:18 > 0:07:21That's what Al's like today.

0:07:21 > 0:07:23Right, well, no change there, then.

0:07:23 > 0:07:25Only he seems to not be able to speak.

0:07:25 > 0:07:27He's probably just throwing a wobbler.

0:07:27 > 0:07:29I'd steer clear of him if I were you.

0:07:43 > 0:07:48Al? Al? Are you all right?

0:07:48 > 0:07:49HE MOANS

0:07:49 > 0:07:51Can't you speak? Go away.

0:07:51 > 0:07:54What? Go away.

0:07:54 > 0:07:57Aww, is our Wookiee throwing a wobbly? Yeah.

0:07:57 > 0:08:00It looks like he may have gone to the dark side. I'm in pain.

0:08:00 > 0:08:03Pain? Would that be in the a...?

0:08:04 > 0:08:05THEY LAUGH

0:08:10 > 0:08:11Why CAN'T I live with you?

0:08:11 > 0:08:12On what basis?

0:08:12 > 0:08:15As my niece? Oh, yeah, your parents would love that.

0:08:15 > 0:08:16Like I care.

0:08:16 > 0:08:19You are 15 years old. There'd be no end of trouble.

0:08:19 > 0:08:21You mean, for you? For both of us.

0:08:21 > 0:08:24Well, maybe you've got some making up to do.

0:08:24 > 0:08:26That's a bit below the belt.

0:08:26 > 0:08:28You just don't want the responsibility.

0:08:28 > 0:08:30It's not that at all.

0:08:30 > 0:08:31Come here!

0:08:34 > 0:08:36Let's talk about it at my place.

0:08:39 > 0:08:45I know this looks strange, but I have a very good cause.

0:08:45 > 0:08:48Oh, my goodness! Excuse me.

0:08:54 > 0:08:56Hello, Miss Pitman?

0:08:56 > 0:08:59I need you to check the patient records

0:08:59 > 0:09:02and see if we have a patient registered

0:09:02 > 0:09:04under the Christian name of Destiny?

0:09:07 > 0:09:08Looks nice.

0:09:08 > 0:09:10We haven't even got inside yet.

0:09:10 > 0:09:13I find your relentless optimism irritating.

0:09:13 > 0:09:15And I find your relentless pessimism tedious.

0:09:15 > 0:09:17Here we go.

0:09:17 > 0:09:19Mr and Mrs Granger-Carmichael?

0:09:19 > 0:09:20No. Yes, that's right. Hello.

0:09:20 > 0:09:24Hi, I'm Lorraine. Welcome to Heathdean. Come in.

0:09:24 > 0:09:26She seems nice.

0:09:26 > 0:09:28A head-teacher called Lorraine?

0:09:28 > 0:09:30I am so not impressed.

0:09:34 > 0:09:36Howard did say two o'clock, right?

0:09:36 > 0:09:39Well, we could start without him.

0:09:41 > 0:09:44Right, the first item on today's agenda

0:09:44 > 0:09:47is the importance of time management.

0:09:48 > 0:09:50Now then, gentlemen,

0:09:50 > 0:09:53what do we see as the important factors in patient care?

0:09:53 > 0:09:56That is a very good question, Howard.

0:09:57 > 0:09:59I think communication is paramount.

0:09:59 > 0:10:02A fine answer, Dr Tyler.

0:10:02 > 0:10:04Now, are we referring to the communications

0:10:04 > 0:10:06between practitioners and patients?

0:10:06 > 0:10:09Yes, I am, but between staff as well. In fact,

0:10:09 > 0:10:12I know this is a subject very close to Dr Haskey's heart as well.

0:10:12 > 0:10:16Really? Dr Haskey, would you care to elaborate?

0:10:21 > 0:10:25See? Why speak, when a mere look can convey so much?

0:10:25 > 0:10:27MUMBLES Ow!

0:10:27 > 0:10:30Whoa, are you all right there, big guy?

0:10:30 > 0:10:33Whatever it is, I don't think they're helping much.

0:10:33 > 0:10:35There you are, mate.

0:10:39 > 0:10:42The water's cold! What are you giving me cold water for?

0:10:44 > 0:10:45BOTH: Toothache!

0:10:56 > 0:10:57Can I... Can I help you?

0:10:58 > 0:11:03I... I am Mrs Tembe from the Mill Health Centre.

0:11:03 > 0:11:07I was a little concerned about your daughter, Destiny, but...

0:11:07 > 0:11:09Why? Is she ill?

0:11:09 > 0:11:11No, not at all. She's very well.

0:11:11 > 0:11:12Please, just tell me.

0:11:12 > 0:11:15She is perfectly fine.

0:11:15 > 0:11:17I was probably being a little hasty.

0:11:17 > 0:11:21Hang on, hang on! Let me be the judge of that.

0:11:21 > 0:11:24Something's bugging you or you wouldn't be here.

0:11:27 > 0:11:32I saw Destiny leaving the library with a Dr Richard Wright.

0:11:34 > 0:11:36Get in. Quick!

0:11:44 > 0:11:49Perhaps it would be wise to call the police and let them deal with it.

0:11:49 > 0:11:51If he thinks he's got any rights...

0:11:51 > 0:11:54He walked out on Destiny when she was just a baby.

0:11:54 > 0:11:57He is her father? No.

0:11:57 > 0:12:01No, I am. I've got the adoption papers to prove it.

0:12:02 > 0:12:04Are you getting in, or what?

0:12:04 > 0:12:07Mr Skelton, I do not think it is appropriate for me to get involved.

0:12:07 > 0:12:11It's abduction, you're a witness. Please.

0:12:12 > 0:12:14Please! I need your help.

0:12:19 > 0:12:21It's like walking into Oz.

0:12:21 > 0:12:23You know in the film, where it's black and white

0:12:23 > 0:12:26and then she opens the door and... That's what I think.

0:12:26 > 0:12:29Twin souls, obviously. Excuse me? Oh, nothing.

0:12:29 > 0:12:31These are on the theme of Africa.

0:12:31 > 0:12:34Mrs Martinez is very keen that the children are aware

0:12:34 > 0:12:36of what's going on in the world.

0:12:36 > 0:12:37Mrs Martinez?

0:12:37 > 0:12:39The head teacher.

0:12:39 > 0:12:41So who are you?

0:12:41 > 0:12:42I'm a teaching assistant.

0:12:42 > 0:12:45Mrs Martinez would have loved to have met you today,

0:12:45 > 0:12:46but it was a little short notice.

0:12:48 > 0:12:51Oh, yeah, that's perfectly understandable.

0:12:51 > 0:12:54(QUIETLY) It's not as if our son's future is of any great significance.

0:12:54 > 0:12:57Lorraine, it would be lovely if we could see some information

0:12:57 > 0:13:00on SATs, Ofsted reports, that kind of thing. No problem.

0:13:00 > 0:13:03I'll grab some stuff from the office, if you'll excuse me. Of course, thank you.

0:13:06 > 0:13:10Mr Skelton, I do not wish to be the cause of any discord.

0:13:10 > 0:13:12Eh?

0:13:12 > 0:13:15When I met Dr Wright I thought he was... Well, never mind that now.

0:13:15 > 0:13:18But could I just say that in my experience

0:13:18 > 0:13:21no good ever came of fighting.

0:13:21 > 0:13:25Better to discuss differences in a calm and reasonable way.

0:13:25 > 0:13:28Wise words.

0:13:28 > 0:13:30Reasonable is my middle name.

0:13:34 > 0:13:35Oh, no.

0:13:35 > 0:13:37Where's my daughter? Destiny!

0:13:40 > 0:13:41Oh, no!

0:13:41 > 0:13:44Bob, let's talk about this in a civilised manner.

0:13:44 > 0:13:47There's nothing civilised about snatching my daughter.

0:13:47 > 0:13:49I haven't! Mrs Tembe!

0:13:49 > 0:13:51Destiny, I am so sorry.

0:13:51 > 0:13:53This unfortunate confrontation is all my fault.

0:13:53 > 0:13:57I misinterpreted your conversation with Dr Wright in the car park.

0:13:57 > 0:13:58You were in the car park as well?

0:13:58 > 0:14:01Miss Marple has nothing on you.

0:14:01 > 0:14:05I assumed he was the baby's father. Gross!

0:14:05 > 0:14:07That's what comes of lurid fiction.

0:14:07 > 0:14:09This lady is an upstanding member of the community,

0:14:09 > 0:14:10who is here as a witness.

0:14:10 > 0:14:13Dad, I came here because I wanted to.

0:14:13 > 0:14:15If you spent more time listening, instead of laying down the law...

0:14:15 > 0:14:18I don't need parenting tips from you, thank you very much.

0:14:18 > 0:14:21Now come on, we're going.

0:14:21 > 0:14:22No!

0:14:25 > 0:14:27This is very impressive.

0:14:27 > 0:14:29Isn't it? Last year was the best yet.

0:14:29 > 0:14:32Number five in the country. Though we do usually make the top ten.

0:14:32 > 0:14:35Hear that, Zara? What's going on in here?

0:14:35 > 0:14:37Maths.

0:14:37 > 0:14:39They look very happy about it.

0:14:39 > 0:14:41Different story when I was at school. Oh, I know!

0:14:41 > 0:14:43I was frightened to open my mouth at mine!

0:14:43 > 0:14:46Would you mind putting me in the direction of the Ladies, please?

0:14:46 > 0:14:49Yes. That way and to the left. Thanks.

0:14:51 > 0:14:53How about IT provision?

0:14:53 > 0:14:54Come on, I'll show you.

0:14:56 > 0:14:59It's like Uncle Richard says. You don't listen.

0:14:59 > 0:15:02So, I'm listening now.

0:15:02 > 0:15:05Come on, Dest, we shouldn't have secrets.

0:15:05 > 0:15:10Yeah, right. What? I want to move in here. OK?

0:15:10 > 0:15:12Destiny, we haven't really discussed that. You see?

0:15:12 > 0:15:15He didn't want you when you were a baby and he doesn't want you now.

0:15:15 > 0:15:18You don't want MY baby.

0:15:18 > 0:15:21Is that true? None of your business.

0:15:21 > 0:15:23Yes, it is. He or she will be my flesh and blood.

0:15:23 > 0:15:25Don't pull that card!

0:15:25 > 0:15:28You were quick enough to hand her over when she was small.

0:15:28 > 0:15:31When I met her mother she was struggling by on benefits.

0:15:31 > 0:15:33So was I! This has nothing to do with me. I should...

0:15:33 > 0:15:36First you tried to persuade me to have an abortion.

0:15:36 > 0:15:38Now you want it adopted.

0:15:39 > 0:15:41That was your decision.

0:15:41 > 0:15:44You would be relieved if I lost it, wouldn't you?

0:15:46 > 0:15:47Don't say that.

0:15:47 > 0:15:49I only ever wanted what was best for you.

0:15:49 > 0:15:53No, this is about you! What's best for you.

0:15:53 > 0:15:56I heard you last night, Dad.

0:15:56 > 0:16:01You said living with this baby would be a life sentence.

0:16:01 > 0:16:03All your plans up in smoke.

0:16:03 > 0:16:06And you talk to me about commitment!

0:16:06 > 0:16:08Say that again!

0:16:08 > 0:16:10Perhaps you're not Superdad after all.

0:16:10 > 0:16:12Destiny!

0:16:12 > 0:16:13Dest?

0:16:16 > 0:16:19CHILDREN SING

0:16:26 > 0:16:27Little boy! Stop!

0:16:29 > 0:16:31Do you need help?

0:16:31 > 0:16:33I don't think so, thank you.

0:16:33 > 0:16:37My name's Zara. What's yours? Ben.

0:16:38 > 0:16:41What's wrong? Why did you run out of your class?

0:16:41 > 0:16:44Because I want to go to the toilet. Sorry!

0:16:56 > 0:16:59I was quick, wasn't I? I washed my hands and everything.

0:16:59 > 0:17:02Excellent. Do you like the singing?

0:17:02 > 0:17:04Yes. It's lovely.

0:17:04 > 0:17:06I'm in the choir and I sing solo.

0:17:06 > 0:17:08Do you? That's wonderful.

0:17:08 > 0:17:11I used to want to play the trumpet,

0:17:11 > 0:17:14but Mr Dane said I wouldn't be able to sing at the same time.

0:17:14 > 0:17:17Well, that would be difficult.

0:17:17 > 0:17:20And, anyway, it hurts your lips. That's why I'm learning guitar.

0:17:20 > 0:17:23It hurts my fingers, but I don't mind that so much.

0:17:23 > 0:17:26I'm hoping that my little boy might come to this school.

0:17:26 > 0:17:29His name's Joe. My best friend's called Joe.

0:17:29 > 0:17:32I suppose I'd better go back in. Yes, of course.

0:17:35 > 0:17:38She's running away from you. Butt out!

0:17:38 > 0:17:41A typical response from an ignorant, bull-headed control freak.

0:17:41 > 0:17:43She is an intelligent young woman.

0:17:43 > 0:17:46No wonder she can't talk to you. Oh, my goodness!

0:17:46 > 0:17:48Dad! Stop it! Stop him!

0:17:48 > 0:17:50You should be ashamed of yourselves!

0:17:50 > 0:17:53Destiny and I will go for a walk

0:17:53 > 0:17:56until you two hooligans learn to behave in a civilised manner.

0:17:56 > 0:17:57Come.

0:18:02 > 0:18:03How's it going?

0:18:03 > 0:18:05Fine.

0:18:05 > 0:18:07It would be if you went to the dentist.

0:18:07 > 0:18:09Don't need to.

0:18:10 > 0:18:13These won't cure a toothache.

0:18:13 > 0:18:16Dentists are money-gwabbing cwooks.

0:18:16 > 0:18:19Ah, he's fwightened. Diddums.

0:18:19 > 0:18:21IMITATES CHICKEN

0:18:21 > 0:18:22Leave.

0:18:28 > 0:18:33I was stupid. I didn't think this could happen to me.

0:18:33 > 0:18:38I had plans, right? University, teaching...

0:18:38 > 0:18:41Everything was so settled.

0:18:41 > 0:18:45Sometimes life sets us on a path we were not expecting.

0:18:46 > 0:18:49Do you have children, Mrs Tembe?

0:18:49 > 0:18:50I am afraid not.

0:18:50 > 0:18:53You probably think it's wasted on me.

0:18:53 > 0:18:56Not if you want your baby as badly as I think you do.

0:18:58 > 0:19:00It's a boy. I asked the nurse.

0:19:00 > 0:19:03I've thought of a name and everything.

0:19:03 > 0:19:06But I wonder if he'd be better off with a proper family.

0:19:06 > 0:19:08My parents don't want him.

0:19:08 > 0:19:10And I might not be a very good mum.

0:19:12 > 0:19:14Why would you say that?

0:19:14 > 0:19:18Because sometimes studying feels more important.

0:19:18 > 0:19:20Teaching is all I've ever wanted to do.

0:19:22 > 0:19:25Many young women face this conflict.

0:19:25 > 0:19:27It does not make you a bad mother.

0:19:29 > 0:19:32I didn't know Uncle Richard was my dad until I was ten.

0:19:32 > 0:19:34I don't want that for us.

0:19:34 > 0:19:37I don't want to be turning up with presents on birthdays

0:19:37 > 0:19:40and feeling awkward. That's even if they'd let me!

0:19:43 > 0:19:46Destiny, you are a remarkable young woman.

0:19:46 > 0:19:48Am I? Absolutely.

0:19:50 > 0:19:53But at this stage of your life, you are going to need

0:19:53 > 0:19:55the support of your family.

0:19:55 > 0:19:58So...

0:19:58 > 0:20:02you are going to have to tell them exactly what you want.

0:20:06 > 0:20:09BELL RINGS

0:20:15 > 0:20:17Can I give you a push on the swing?

0:20:18 > 0:20:21That would be lovely, but I'm supposed to be a responsible adult.

0:20:21 > 0:20:25Does "responsible" mean the same thing as "boring"?

0:20:25 > 0:20:26Are you calling me boring?

0:20:26 > 0:20:29No, I think you'd really like to go on the swing.

0:20:29 > 0:20:30(WHISPERS) Well spotted!

0:20:32 > 0:20:35I can hang upside down on this. Watch!

0:20:35 > 0:20:37Ben, your mum's waiting.

0:20:37 > 0:20:39Can I just do this first?

0:20:39 > 0:20:41On your way, chatterbox!

0:20:43 > 0:20:45Bye, Zara.

0:20:45 > 0:20:46Bye, Ben.

0:20:46 > 0:20:48Are you all right?

0:20:48 > 0:20:50Yes. I just needed some fresh air.

0:20:51 > 0:20:54Well, I hope you've both enjoyed your visit?

0:20:54 > 0:20:56You couldn't have been more helpful, Lorraine. Thank you.

0:20:56 > 0:20:58Yes, thank you. We'll definitely be in touch.

0:20:58 > 0:21:02Brilliant! I'll tell Mrs Martinez. Bye for now.

0:21:03 > 0:21:06Ben was such a lovely boy! He's so happy here.

0:21:06 > 0:21:08Do you know, they play proper musical instruments?

0:21:08 > 0:21:10How was the IT equipment?

0:21:10 > 0:21:12State of the art. Zara...

0:21:12 > 0:21:14We were so right to come here.

0:21:14 > 0:21:15We?

0:21:15 > 0:21:17OK, OK, you. But it's settled.

0:21:17 > 0:21:21I want Joe at this school. End of discussion.

0:21:27 > 0:21:30Hey. Are you coming home?

0:21:30 > 0:21:33No, Dad. Not till we've sorted this out.

0:21:33 > 0:21:34Your mum was upset last night

0:21:34 > 0:21:37because she thought she was going to miss out on a grandchild.

0:21:37 > 0:21:38I was trying to talk her round,

0:21:38 > 0:21:41because I thought that was what you wanted.

0:21:44 > 0:21:45I've changed my mind.

0:21:47 > 0:21:51Dest, I've watched you play school since you were tiny.

0:21:52 > 0:21:55It's always been in you to teach.

0:21:55 > 0:21:59Yeah, but now it's complicated.

0:22:01 > 0:22:04And I suppose Clever Dick's got all the answers?

0:22:04 > 0:22:07He knows how it feels to give up a child.

0:22:09 > 0:22:11You were gutted, right?

0:22:11 > 0:22:15I was 17 and resentful because I couldn't go to university.

0:22:15 > 0:22:18Things weren't working out with your mother.

0:22:18 > 0:22:20I wasn't any sort of father to you.

0:22:20 > 0:22:22You chose university.

0:22:22 > 0:22:25I like to think I gave you the chance of a better life.

0:22:25 > 0:22:27Hey, I did that.

0:22:27 > 0:22:29This is hopeless!

0:22:29 > 0:22:31Please.

0:22:31 > 0:22:34Destiny has something that she wants to say.

0:22:37 > 0:22:40I want to keep the baby AND go to university.

0:22:47 > 0:22:49He's leaving early.

0:22:49 > 0:22:51To see the money-gwabbing cwook?

0:22:51 > 0:22:53Just an early night.

0:22:53 > 0:22:56There's no point in that. You won't sleep.

0:22:56 > 0:22:59Come on, I'll have a look if you like. No way!

0:22:59 > 0:23:00Al, you could have an abscess

0:23:00 > 0:23:03or an infection that spreads to other teeth.

0:23:03 > 0:23:05You'll be all gummy!

0:23:05 > 0:23:07Fancy liquidised pizza, do you?

0:23:10 > 0:23:14Look, I just don't want you ending up a single mum with no prospects.

0:23:14 > 0:23:17Dr Wright. She won't, if she comes to live with me.

0:23:17 > 0:23:21And Mr Skelton. But who's going to look after Brunel while I go to uni?

0:23:21 > 0:23:22Brunel?

0:23:22 > 0:23:26Please, help yourselves to sugar. You're not being realistic.

0:23:26 > 0:23:28Your GCSEs will go out the window

0:23:28 > 0:23:30and it'll take you so long to get back on track.

0:23:30 > 0:23:33Not necessarily. I'll help her with her studies.

0:23:33 > 0:23:34She's not staying here. End of.

0:23:34 > 0:23:38Gentlemen, please, let's put an end to this rivalry

0:23:38 > 0:23:40for the sake of your daughter.

0:23:40 > 0:23:42MY daughter. For heaven's sake!

0:23:42 > 0:23:45Dad, I'm not expecting it to be easy.

0:23:47 > 0:23:51But I need your help if I'm going to have this baby and get my degree.

0:23:51 > 0:23:54Mr Skelton. Do you really want to lose your daughter?

0:23:54 > 0:23:55Of course not.

0:23:55 > 0:23:58Dr Wright, do you want a screaming child in your home?

0:23:58 > 0:24:01Well...no.

0:24:01 > 0:24:03Well, then.

0:24:09 > 0:24:12Look, me and your mum will help you look after the baby.

0:24:12 > 0:24:14Of course we will. Why wouldn't we?

0:24:14 > 0:24:17But come home!

0:24:17 > 0:24:20There you go! Thanks, Dad! Thanks, Uncle Richard!

0:24:20 > 0:24:23Whoa. He's not part of the bargain.

0:24:23 > 0:24:25Why? He can come to the house.

0:24:25 > 0:24:27And what do I do then?

0:24:27 > 0:24:30Suddenly he's hijacking my relationship with my grandson? No.

0:24:30 > 0:24:35Dad! Uncle Richard could never take your place, not in a million years.

0:24:37 > 0:24:40It's your family, Bob.

0:24:40 > 0:24:41I'll respect that.

0:24:43 > 0:24:46Well, I'll have to run it past Jackie.

0:24:48 > 0:24:50Brunel Skelton, eh?

0:24:51 > 0:24:53Bit of a ring to it.

0:24:58 > 0:25:00No, really, I will take a taxi.

0:25:00 > 0:25:03No, you won't. I'll drop you off. No problem.

0:25:11 > 0:25:13Don't be long, love.

0:25:13 > 0:25:16Your mam will be home soon and we've a lot to talk about.

0:25:18 > 0:25:21Sometimes good things happen at a bad time.

0:25:21 > 0:25:22Was I a good thing?

0:25:22 > 0:25:25Yes! I just had some growing up to do.

0:25:26 > 0:25:28You'll be fine, though.

0:25:28 > 0:25:29With your help.

0:25:29 > 0:25:31On one condition.

0:25:31 > 0:25:33Now you're a bit older, you can start calling me Richard.

0:25:33 > 0:25:36Yeah. I suppose "Uncle Richard" is a bit naff.

0:25:41 > 0:25:44Dr Wright, I never did get the chance to say

0:25:44 > 0:25:46how much I enjoyed your lecture.

0:25:46 > 0:25:49You are obviously a man of great scholarship.

0:25:49 > 0:25:52But was it worth giving up my family?

0:25:52 > 0:25:55You cannot spend your time regretting the past.

0:25:55 > 0:25:59It slips away so quickly, and before you know it...

0:26:01 > 0:26:04Well, now you have the chance to make amends

0:26:04 > 0:26:06and support your daughter.

0:26:07 > 0:26:10This will be a brand-new start, for both of you.

0:26:11 > 0:26:13Thank you, Mrs Tembe.

0:26:31 > 0:26:34I can just see Joe in one of those sweet little blue uniforms.

0:26:34 > 0:26:36Do you think he's going to turn out to be musical?

0:26:36 > 0:26:38He plays the xylophone already.

0:26:38 > 0:26:42Zara, Lorraine told me the school is over-subscribed.

0:26:42 > 0:26:43What does that mean, anyway?

0:26:43 > 0:26:46It means that they can pick and choose.

0:26:46 > 0:26:48For heaven's sake, we're doctors.

0:26:48 > 0:26:52Good point. But they give priority to parents who are churchgoers.

0:26:54 > 0:26:56Which church are they affiliated to?

0:26:56 > 0:26:58St Bernadette's.

0:26:59 > 0:27:01Why?

0:27:06 > 0:27:08You assured me this app was foolproof.

0:27:08 > 0:27:10You don't want a reply to that, do you?

0:27:10 > 0:27:11If I don't nail this essay

0:27:11 > 0:27:14I won't stand a chance of winning the bursary.

0:27:14 > 0:27:16Goodbye, California.

0:27:16 > 0:27:18What do you think? Are you going to give me a hint?

0:27:18 > 0:27:20Our new self check-in machine.

0:27:20 > 0:27:22If he wants to get wired on pep pills

0:27:22 > 0:27:25and write essays all night like a loser, that's his business.

0:27:25 > 0:27:28It's not your problem. You don't know anything about me.
