0:00:50 > 0:00:55MUSIC ON CAR STEREO
0:01:00 > 0:01:03Nice wheels! What's her nought to 60?
0:01:04 > 0:01:07Five seconds with the wind behind me.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10I'm in the wrong profession. How come you guys are always on strike?
0:01:10 > 0:01:12Teachers must be coining it in.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15I'm not a teacher. Just here to give a careers talk.
0:01:15 > 0:01:16Snap.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18Kevin Tyler. Doctor.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20Adam Batty. Lawyer.
0:01:20 > 0:01:25CAR HORN
0:01:36 > 0:01:39Nicola. Nicola Smithson.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41- A friend of yours?- No.
0:01:41 > 0:01:42No, anything but.
0:01:44 > 0:01:45Shall we?
0:01:45 > 0:01:47I've got to get something from the car.
0:01:47 > 0:01:49I'll meet you in there.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57Panettone for the peerless Mrs Tembe!
0:01:57 > 0:01:59Oh, thank you, Doctor Carter.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01A big cheese for the big cheese!
0:02:03 > 0:02:07And a bottle of Chianti but no fava beans, for Doctor Annabel Lecter.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10Er, thanks. I think.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13Surely that pun would only work if her name was Annabel.
0:02:13 > 0:02:14Or a serial killer.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17I just meant that she's a doctor, and she likes Chianti.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19Right.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21What's the matter with you all?
0:02:21 > 0:02:23I think I've come back to a morgue.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26Welcome back, Heston. And thank you very much for the cheese.
0:02:26 > 0:02:30Right, this impromptu tea break has now officially ended.
0:02:33 > 0:02:37- Sorry! Did I miss something? - No. Not at all.
0:02:37 > 0:02:38You must be Doctor Carter?
0:02:38 > 0:02:41I am indeed. Doctor Donohoe, I presume?
0:02:41 > 0:02:44It's great to meet you. I've heard so much about you.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46Don't let that put you off.
0:02:46 > 0:02:50An old-world Chianti for a very able young recruit.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52- Thank you.- Welcome to the Mill!
0:02:54 > 0:02:56A man after my own heart!
0:02:56 > 0:02:59Tell me about it. I'm still on Guatemalan time.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01Not an alumnus, then?
0:03:01 > 0:03:05No. My manager volunteered me - reckoned it'd be good PR.
0:03:05 > 0:03:06Your first time back?
0:03:06 > 0:03:09Yeah. 20 years since I left.
0:03:09 > 0:03:10Happy days?
0:03:11 > 0:03:13Doctor Tyler?
0:03:13 > 0:03:14Kevin, please.
0:03:14 > 0:03:15Leon Mayhew, head teacher.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17Thanks for stepping in at the eleventh hour.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19Anything for a free lunch.
0:03:19 > 0:03:20What's on the menu - turkey twizzlers?
0:03:20 > 0:03:23Actually, our canteen grub isn't too bad.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25But I think a pub lunch is in order.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28- Adam?- Long time, no see.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31Adam was one of my first pupils.
0:03:31 > 0:03:35I was a wet-behind-the-ears PE teacher, back in the day.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38Now, here's a face I'll never forget. Nicola Smithson!
0:03:39 > 0:03:40What happened to the beard?
0:03:40 > 0:03:43That was just to lend me an air of seniority.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45Now I look enough old enough without it.
0:03:45 > 0:03:49Have you met again? Your former classmate, Adam.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53You're not ringing any bells. Guess you weren't in my gang.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55No. No. I wasn't.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57What's your surname?
0:03:57 > 0:03:58- Batty.- Right.
0:04:00 > 0:04:01Really!
0:04:02 > 0:04:05You managed to lose the puppy fat!
0:04:05 > 0:04:08Don't say anything litigious. Adam is a hotshot barrister.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10You work in a coffee shop?
0:04:10 > 0:04:12Kevin, you won't know. He's a local GP.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14Please to meet you.
0:04:14 > 0:04:15A doctor, a lawyer
0:04:15 > 0:04:19and an airline pilot - perfect role models for our pupils.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21So shall we begin the tour?
0:04:23 > 0:04:25Too many of the pupils entertain unrealistic goals,
0:04:25 > 0:04:27like winning X Factor. When they arrive in the outside world,
0:04:27 > 0:04:30they find that they're lucky if they can get a job in a call centre.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32That's why these careers talks are so important.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35They can inspire a proper sense of vocation and a lot of hard...
0:04:35 > 0:04:37This is reprehensible.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43Yeah. For one thing, they can't even spell.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46We'll find whoever's responsible for this, and punish them accordingly.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49Hmm. Could you have them shot, if it's not too much trouble?
0:04:49 > 0:04:50Kids, eh?
0:04:55 > 0:04:56What about July the 19th?
0:04:58 > 0:05:01No, of course. It's a school night.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05Yes, no...well, look, you know... I could always come and baby-sit.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10Matilda doesn't like strangers. Fair enough.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12KNOCK ON DOOR
0:05:12 > 0:05:16Look, we'll catch up over the summer. All right. Bye-bye.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19Karen. You got a minute?
0:05:19 > 0:05:20I wanted to, um...
0:05:21 > 0:05:25You know how our girlie nights in have been a real laugh?
0:05:25 > 0:05:29- Yeah.- Well, I was thinking, maybe we should venture out one night.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32OK. We could go dancing.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34Great, what about tomorrow?
0:05:34 > 0:05:38Yeah. Suits me. I'll brush the dust off my dancing shoes!
0:05:46 > 0:05:48PE is one of our most popular subjects,
0:05:48 > 0:05:51due in no small part to the excellent facilities.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58A few changes since your time.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01Little more than a vaulting horse and some climbing ropes back then.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03- It still smells the same.- Hmm.
0:06:03 > 0:06:08That unmistakable combination of stale sweat and industrial bleach.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10The department runs over 30 after-school clubs
0:06:10 > 0:06:11throughout the year.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14Everything from football and rugby to t'ai chi.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18Weren't you captain of the hockey team, Nicola?
0:06:18 > 0:06:20- And the netball team.- Of course.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24A chance to relive your lap of honour?
0:06:32 > 0:06:34HEARTBEAT THUMPS
0:06:43 > 0:06:45You all right, mate?
0:06:45 > 0:06:49Yeah. Thanks. I just need to get some fresh air.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58Unbeknownst to the stewardess, he's passed out
0:06:58 > 0:07:01while smoking a crafty ciggie.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03After the umpteenth knock, they open the cubicle.
0:07:03 > 0:07:07His newspaper's set alight, a fire is raging.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09Soon, the whole cabin's filled with smoke.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11The passengers panic, the crew panic.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14My co-pilot tries to call his priest.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17We're at 30,000 feet and I need to land, pronto.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20- "Mayday, mayday!"- Let's pick this up later, shall we?
0:07:20 > 0:07:22I have an urgent conflab with my senior leadership team
0:07:22 > 0:07:26but Mrs Frampton will collect you in a few minutes. Good luck!
0:07:29 > 0:07:31- So what happened?- Eh?
0:07:31 > 0:07:33Your terror at 30,000 feet?
0:07:33 > 0:07:36Set down in a military facility in the Ukraine. No biggie.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43You haven't told us much about your job, Batty.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45Do you have any moral qualms about protecting
0:07:45 > 0:07:47the liberties of murderers and rapists?
0:07:47 > 0:07:52Look, I specialise in personal injury, not criminal law.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55In any case, I believe that everyone is entitled to a legal defence.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58If they weren't, then we wouldn't be...
0:07:58 > 0:08:00She hasn't changed.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04Someone should cut her down to size.
0:08:06 > 0:08:10# I'm in the mood for dancin'
0:08:10 > 0:08:12# Romancin'
0:08:12 > 0:08:15# You know I shan't ever stop tonight... #
0:08:15 > 0:08:17You are in good spirits, Doctor Reid.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19Hello, Mrs Tembe. Um, yes.
0:08:19 > 0:08:23Me and Karen are going out on the razz tomorrow.
0:08:23 > 0:08:27You know - white wine spritzer at a bar-slash-club.
0:08:27 > 0:08:28On a weeknight?
0:08:28 > 0:08:31Well, you're only young once. Primo have got an '80s theme night.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34Why don't you join us?
0:08:34 > 0:08:37No, not after the last time you two invited me out, thank you.
0:08:37 > 0:08:38Fair enough.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41Knock knock!
0:08:41 > 0:08:42Sergeant Hollins, how can I help you?
0:08:42 > 0:08:46- I'm looking for Karen. - She has gone to the shop.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49Our biscuit supply is perilously low.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52And how are you, Mrs T?
0:08:52 > 0:08:56Oh, well... Yeah, I am fine. I cannot complain.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58But how are you feeling after the incident?
0:08:59 > 0:09:05Well, I think it is important not to dwell on such unpleasantness.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07- Tea?- Why not?
0:09:10 > 0:09:14RETCHING
0:09:23 > 0:09:24Practising your spiel?
0:09:24 > 0:09:27Yeah. I can handle a judge and jury.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29But a load of teenagers...
0:09:29 > 0:09:32At least you've done your prep. I'm going to have to wing it.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37- You OK? - Yes, thank you. Shouldn't I be?
0:09:37 > 0:09:39Yeah - no. I thought I heard...
0:09:39 > 0:09:40Hm.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43Maybe someone's trying to poison me.
0:09:43 > 0:09:44Who'd want to do that?
0:09:44 > 0:09:47The landlord, apparently. His wine tastes like vinegar.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53Experiences like that can have a big effect.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56And just because it's a stranger, it doesn't always make it
0:09:56 > 0:09:58any easier to accept.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01No. I suppose not.
0:10:03 > 0:10:07We have a really good counsellor who works with us down at the station.
0:10:07 > 0:10:08I could put you in touch.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10Thank you, but I have the church.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18Yes?
0:10:18 > 0:10:19Hello, hello!
0:10:19 > 0:10:21Er, nothing.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24Hi, love. Have you eaten yet?
0:10:24 > 0:10:26Is that an offer?
0:10:26 > 0:10:28The Icon it is, then.
0:10:28 > 0:10:29It's weird being back here.
0:10:30 > 0:10:34I thought it would might stir lots of memories, and it has.
0:10:34 > 0:10:35Fun times behind the bike sheds?
0:10:35 > 0:10:40If only. I wasn't exactly the school stud.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45No, I was...
0:10:45 > 0:10:47Well, I was the fat kid.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49Not a problem now, mate.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51No. But it stays with you.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55All the teasing. Ridicule.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58- You were bullied?- Big time.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01Look, it wasn't that bad at first, just the odd dig.
0:11:01 > 0:11:06But from the age of 13, it became pretty systematic.
0:11:08 > 0:11:12It was all right to have a pop at me. That's what I was there for.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14At one point things got so bad, I tried to...
0:11:18 > 0:11:19Didn't your teachers help?
0:11:19 > 0:11:22No. Most of them just turned a blind eye.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25It must be pretty painful coming back, mate.
0:11:25 > 0:11:26Why are you doing it?
0:11:29 > 0:11:31Maybe an opportunity.
0:11:31 > 0:11:32What for?
0:11:32 > 0:11:34Settle some old scores.
0:11:36 > 0:11:38I know where you're coming from.
0:11:38 > 0:11:42I was bullied at school myself. But you can't bear grudges.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44You've got to move on, right?
0:11:44 > 0:11:46Right. That's why I came back.
0:11:46 > 0:11:51I thought it would be the best way to get some...
0:11:51 > 0:11:52well, closure.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55- You're on, Doc.- How did it go?
0:11:55 > 0:11:57Tough crowd, but they loved me. No pressure!
0:11:57 > 0:11:59So you're going, then?
0:11:59 > 0:12:01We can't get away that easily.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03Leon wants a quick debrief after the speeches.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05Really? So you're staying, then?
0:12:05 > 0:12:07Who are you - my mum?
0:12:07 > 0:12:08Just wondered.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13Actually, I think I'll, um...stretch my legs.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20Yeah, it was nice.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22He seemed a bit more sprightly than last time.
0:12:22 > 0:12:27He's got these two lady friends sniffing round, the old tart!
0:12:27 > 0:12:29Poor Mum'll be spinning in her grave.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31Or she might say "Good for you".
0:12:31 > 0:12:36She might. Anyway, it was good, it was nice.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38Sounds like you had a bit of a laugh.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40I suppose I'm getting used to how he is now.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42So - the week ahead.
0:12:42 > 0:12:47On Thursday, there's a special screening at the Majestic of
0:12:47 > 0:12:48Electric Dreams.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51- No way! That's my... - Favourite film, I know.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53Which is why I booked two deluxe seats that recline
0:12:53 > 0:12:55and they've got extra legroom.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58- It's going to be like being on Concorde! - It's the closest we'll ever get.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12So...
0:13:12 > 0:13:17Um... Why become a doctor?
0:13:17 > 0:13:19Why DID I become a doctor?
0:13:20 > 0:13:24Maybe it was the prospect of making a very decent wage.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27Or maybe because I thought it would be an easy way to meet
0:13:27 > 0:13:29lots of hot single nurses.
0:13:30 > 0:13:34Five years of medical training, and two year foundation -
0:13:34 > 0:13:36I'm not going to lie to you.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39It is tough. But I don't regret it.
0:13:39 > 0:13:44And not because of the decent wage or the hot nurses.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47And not because I can help a lot of my patients by rattling
0:13:47 > 0:13:49off some quick prescription.
0:13:51 > 0:13:55Sometimes, the miracles of modern medicine aren't enough,
0:13:55 > 0:13:57and I can't make people better.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01Sometime I have to tell people that they're ill,
0:14:01 > 0:14:03that they've only got a few weeks left.
0:14:04 > 0:14:08Sometimes I see people in very dark places,
0:14:08 > 0:14:11full of despair and anxiety.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14And I know I can't cure them,
0:14:14 > 0:14:16but I can help them.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20And when I succeed,
0:14:20 > 0:14:22well, that's a good day at the office.
0:14:28 > 0:14:29Your audience awaits.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32They're a harmless bunch. Knock 'em dead, mate.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37Hey, you OK?
0:14:41 > 0:14:46You were right, Kevin. I shouldn't have come back here.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48Let me guess. Does it serve pizza?
0:14:48 > 0:14:50Let's leave it as a surprise.
0:14:50 > 0:14:54But I will say this - it's a proper restaurant with white tablecloths and everything.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57- It's even got Heston's seal of approval.- I'm sold!
0:14:57 > 0:14:59Oh!
0:14:59 > 0:15:01- What's wrong?- Tomorrow night?
0:15:01 > 0:15:03Yeah, flicks on Thursday. Is that a problem?
0:15:03 > 0:15:07- I promised Emma I would go dancing tomorrow night.- Dancing?
0:15:07 > 0:15:09Oh, OK.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12Sorry. Another time?
0:15:12 > 0:15:13Yeah. Course.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17No. This is more important.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20And anyway, Emma wants us to work things out
0:15:20 > 0:15:22so I'm sure she won't mind. Anyway, I'd better go.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25I promised Mrs Tembe I'd hold the fort for a couple of hours.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28No worries. She could do with some respite, after her ordeal.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30Her ordeal?
0:15:30 > 0:15:32Oh, didn't she...?
0:15:32 > 0:15:34It's nothing. You know what she's like.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36She takes on too much with the church. Come on.
0:15:38 > 0:15:42A lot of these kids don't have much to look forward to.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44At least they don't think they do.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47They reckon that you've got to have rich parents to be a doctor
0:15:47 > 0:15:49or a lawyer.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51But you've sat where they're sitting.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53And now you're at the top of your game.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55No advantages, no connections.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57Just hard graft.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00They need to recognise that.
0:16:01 > 0:16:03They need to hear it from you.
0:16:05 > 0:16:09He's booked us into this mysterious posh restaurant.
0:16:09 > 0:16:13And on Thursday night we're going to see Electric Dreams at the Majestic.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16Electric Dreams - is that an old movie?
0:16:16 > 0:16:20Are you kidding? It's only the best film ever made!
0:16:20 > 0:16:21Must've passed me by.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24You must know the theme song.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27# Together in Electric Dreams... #
0:16:27 > 0:16:29Yes, the Human League.
0:16:29 > 0:16:33- Almost! Phil Oakey. - I'll have to request it, won't I,
0:16:33 > 0:16:36with the DJ. At Primo. Remember?
0:16:36 > 0:16:40Well, that's the thing. The posh meal - it's tomorrow night.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42Oh. Not to worry.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45- Is that OK if we postpone?- Of course.
0:16:45 > 0:16:50My leatherette trousers will just have to stay in mothballs a while longer.
0:16:57 > 0:16:58As Mrs...
0:17:01 > 0:17:05Um, as your teacher said,
0:17:05 > 0:17:07my name's Adam Batty,
0:17:07 > 0:17:09and I'm a barrister.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15They say that your school days are...
0:17:22 > 0:17:27Um, they say that your school days are the best...
0:17:27 > 0:17:31'Fatty! Fatty! Fatty!
0:17:31 > 0:17:35'Fatty! Fatty! Fatty!
0:17:35 > 0:17:38'Fatty! Fatty!'
0:17:38 > 0:17:43..um...are the best days of your life.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45'Fatty! Fatty!
0:17:45 > 0:17:51'Fatty! Fatty! Fatty!'
0:17:53 > 0:17:57It's the weirdest thing. I feel sick before any kind of public speaking.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59Then once I'm doing it, I have a blast.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02So it wasn't the wine earlier, just stage-fright?
0:18:02 > 0:18:06Our resident graffiti artist - caught on CCTV.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08Happy?
0:18:08 > 0:18:11I've informed his parents of an immediate and indefinite exclusion.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13That's not necessary. There's no damage.
0:18:13 > 0:18:14We like to send out a clear message.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17Bad behaviour will always be met with zero tolerance.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20A more liberal approach helps no-one, least of all the pupil.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23Headmaster, it's Mr Batty.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30'Fatty! Fatty! Fatty!'
0:18:30 > 0:18:33Please...stop it.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35'Fatty! Fatty! Fatty!'
0:18:35 > 0:18:36Just shut up!
0:18:36 > 0:18:39What's got into him?
0:18:39 > 0:18:42You all right, mate? Want to get some fresh air?
0:18:43 > 0:18:46Er, no. No, thanks.
0:18:48 > 0:18:49I'm fine, really.
0:18:49 > 0:18:54Sorry. Um, I seem to have lost my thread.
0:18:54 > 0:18:55Lost more than that.
0:19:00 > 0:19:02I'm going to carry on.
0:19:08 > 0:19:13They say that your school days are the best days of your life.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15Maybe they are, for a lot of people.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19I spent my school days here, at Norbrook.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21The first few months were OK, and then...
0:19:21 > 0:19:23What's he blithering on about?
0:19:23 > 0:19:25Then something happened.
0:19:28 > 0:19:32It was a Thursday afternoon, double PE.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34I'd had a bad cold, and I handed the teacher a sick note from my mum.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36He's meant to be talking about his job.
0:19:36 > 0:19:40"If you're fit to come to school," he said, "you're fit enough to do PE."
0:19:40 > 0:19:43Let's hear him out, shall we?
0:19:43 > 0:19:47I just remember the way he looked me up and down.
0:19:47 > 0:19:52It was an expression of such disgust.
0:19:52 > 0:19:53Real disdain.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58"You could use the exercise," he said.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00Um...I was overweight.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03I didn't have my PE kit,
0:20:03 > 0:20:05so the teacher told me to strip down to my pants
0:20:05 > 0:20:07and do ten laps of the sports hall.
0:20:08 > 0:20:13So that's what I did, or what I tried to do,
0:20:13 > 0:20:15much to the amusement of my classmates.
0:20:18 > 0:20:21After that, I was known as Fatty Batty.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25I wasn't just teased,
0:20:25 > 0:20:26I was ostracised.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30I wasn't fit to be on anyone's team.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34The teacher had made that clear.
0:20:37 > 0:20:41Like a lot of bullies, he's done very well for himself.
0:20:48 > 0:20:50Yes, look - see.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52Given her weight and her mobility problems,
0:20:52 > 0:20:54DVT is a distinct possibility.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56Why didn't I think of that?
0:20:56 > 0:21:02Cellulitis has similar clinical features. It's easy to miss.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04I like your powers of diplomacy.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07- Thanks.- You're welcome.
0:21:07 > 0:21:11Oh, Karen mentioned about your girls' night out tomorrow.
0:21:11 > 0:21:12Would three be a crowd?
0:21:12 > 0:21:15No, it absolutely wouldn't be. But she's just cancelled.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17Rob made her a better offer.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19That's a shame.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21Unless we tear up the town on our own.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26OK. Yeah, you're on.
0:21:27 > 0:21:31My experiences here could have so easily destroyed me.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36You know, for a while they did,
0:21:36 > 0:21:42but in the end, I had to grow up,
0:21:42 > 0:21:45get a thicker skin.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47And now -
0:21:47 > 0:21:55now I spend much of my time sticking up for victims of negligence,
0:21:55 > 0:21:57aggression, bullying.
0:22:02 > 0:22:06I hope you enjoy your time at school more than I did.
0:22:08 > 0:22:09Thank you.
0:22:30 > 0:22:34OK! OK, that's enough. Thank you!
0:22:34 > 0:22:36Be quiet. Thank you. Sit down!
0:22:40 > 0:22:44Thank you to Mr Batty for sharing his thoughts with us.
0:22:44 > 0:22:48It's been 20 years since he attended the school.
0:22:48 > 0:22:52Perhaps it's not surprising, then, that his memory is unreliable.
0:22:53 > 0:22:54PUPILS: Boo!
0:23:05 > 0:23:07The '80s theme was for Karen's benefit, right?
0:23:07 > 0:23:11Why don't we ditch that and go for something more contemporary?
0:23:11 > 0:23:12OK.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15But I do want to dance, only I have to warn you that my music
0:23:15 > 0:23:17collection never really got beyond the '90s.
0:23:17 > 0:23:21Your music collection? Would that be CDs now, or cassettes?
0:23:21 > 0:23:25- An MP3, thank you. - Go, girl - cutting edge!
0:23:25 > 0:23:28So you'll take me to all Letherbridge's fashionable hot-spots?
0:23:28 > 0:23:29Can't wait!
0:23:31 > 0:23:33Are you free on Thursday too?
0:23:33 > 0:23:36Sure. I know nuns with busier social lives.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38Well, look - why don't you come round for dinner?
0:23:38 > 0:23:41I'll ask some of the others and it'll give you a chance to
0:23:41 > 0:23:42get to know them better.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44Like an ice-breaker?
0:23:44 > 0:23:48Yeah, if you like. The staff room's not the most conducive atmosphere,
0:23:48 > 0:23:51and well - you know, come round, have something to eat.
0:23:51 > 0:23:52We can drink Heston's Chianti.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55And you'll see them in a whole new light.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58- Should I be scared? - No, we'll have a giggle.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00Even Jimmi lets his hair down when he's had a drink.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02You're sure it's not too much trouble?
0:24:02 > 0:24:05Not at all. It's just what I need.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07Sounds great. Bring it on!
0:24:11 > 0:24:14Nice one, mate. That took a lot of nerve.
0:24:14 > 0:24:16Maybe I should've stuck to jurisprudence.
0:24:16 > 0:24:18No. It needed to be said.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21- What was all that about? - Just settling an old score.
0:24:21 > 0:24:23Airing sour grapes, more like.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25If I'd known you bore this irrational grudge,
0:24:25 > 0:24:27then I never would have invited you.
0:24:27 > 0:24:32I have no recollection of what you described. It didn't happen.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35Bullies rarely dwell on their experiences.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38It's their victims who remember.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41I should sue you. Public defamation of character!
0:24:44 > 0:24:47Go ahead. I happen to know a good lawyer.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53Unbelievable! I spend 20 years slogging my guts out,
0:24:53 > 0:24:56climbing the greasy pole, gaining respect,
0:24:56 > 0:25:00only for him to destroy my reputation, in the blink of an eye.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02God help me if the governors get wind of this.
0:25:02 > 0:25:06Yeah. Schools have to send out a clear message about bullying.
0:25:06 > 0:25:07Zero tolerance.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14'The Mill Health Centre. How may I help?'
0:25:14 > 0:25:16Hi, Mrs Tembe. It's Rob Hollins.
0:25:16 > 0:25:20Remember that councillor I mentioned? I found his number.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23'I know you told me that you had a good support network,
0:25:23 > 0:25:25'but I thought you might like to make'
0:25:25 > 0:25:28a note of it.
0:25:28 > 0:25:29'Yes, very well.'
0:25:31 > 0:25:38- M'hm?- Right. It is 0121 496 0274.
0:25:38 > 0:25:43- That is most considerate. - 'That's OK. Right. Bye.' - Oh, Sergeant Hollins?
0:25:43 > 0:25:47While you are there, can I ask your opinion on something
0:25:47 > 0:25:49in your capacity as a police officer?
0:25:49 > 0:25:52Of course, go on.
0:25:52 > 0:25:59Do you that it is possible for a violent criminal to change?
0:25:59 > 0:26:01'Ah!'
0:26:01 > 0:26:04The 64,000 dollar question. Why do you ask?
0:26:04 > 0:26:07It is a matter of some debate at church.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09'Well, it is possible, of course.'
0:26:09 > 0:26:13Anybody who works in the criminal justice system would tell you
0:26:13 > 0:26:16that they have to believe that people have the capacity for change.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19Yes. I quite agree.
0:26:19 > 0:26:23'But in my direct experience, I would say that violent men -
0:26:23 > 0:26:27'and women, for that matter - never change, fundamentally.'
0:26:27 > 0:26:29The violence might eventually stop,
0:26:29 > 0:26:33but I don't think that those urges ever go away.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36But what do I know!
0:26:36 > 0:26:41Well, er...thank you, Sgt Hollins. That was most illuminating.
0:26:41 > 0:26:44- Good night.- 'Yeah, OK.'
0:26:53 > 0:26:56I've got a robbery in progress. IC1 male.
0:26:56 > 0:26:57Intend to pursue.
0:26:59 > 0:27:00Ooh, wow!
0:27:00 > 0:27:05They offer "exquisite modern French cuisine", tres cool.
0:27:05 > 0:27:08Is that easel supposed to have something on it?
0:27:08 > 0:27:10We just got had.
0:27:13 > 0:27:14Here he is.
