0:00:02 > 0:00:06My policy is to keep this place safe from him and any gang.
0:00:06 > 0:00:09Is that some poncey way of saying you want to join forces?
0:00:11 > 0:00:15- You'll be all right, OK?- We need to get her to the hospital now!
0:00:15 > 0:00:17The baby's critical.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19Your new Head Girl.
0:00:19 > 0:00:22And your new Head Boy.
0:00:22 > 0:00:23CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:00:23 > 0:00:26(You stink of it). Empty your pockets, now!
0:00:26 > 0:00:28I won't do it again, I promise.
0:00:28 > 0:00:30I'll make sure you don't!
0:00:47 > 0:00:50What were you doing up and down the stairs at all hours last night?
0:00:50 > 0:00:55- I weren't sneaking for a spliff. - I should hope not. That phase better be well and truly over.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57I've stopped smoking, Dad.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00As long as you've learnt your lesson.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03I've got an early meeting with Michael if you want a lift in?
0:01:03 > 0:01:06I think I'll walk in, get some exercise. Got to go.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08- Love you!- I know.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13Course.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15Sure.
0:01:16 > 0:01:21Look, I've got to go. Very important person to see.
0:01:21 > 0:01:22Ciao.
0:01:22 > 0:01:23Josh.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30- You've been avoiding me.- No.
0:01:30 > 0:01:34It's not you, Grady. I've been avoiding everyone.
0:01:34 > 0:01:38That doesn't sound like the party animal I know. What's up?
0:01:38 > 0:01:41I've stopped smoking.
0:01:41 > 0:01:46You know...there's more to me than just the weed.
0:01:46 > 0:01:50- Friends, yeah?- I just need time to get my head straight.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52Sure. We all do sometimes.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55Usually...
0:01:56 > 0:02:00..a little smoke does the trick for me.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04Relax, I'm only messing with you.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06Grab a coffee.
0:02:07 > 0:02:11Tom, thanks for coming in early. I need your expert eye.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14- The candidates for the Head of English.- Right...
0:02:14 > 0:02:18I want you to assess their talents. There's nothing between them on paper.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21Both interviewed well and both have ample experience.
0:02:21 > 0:02:25- So, either of them would make a good Head of English? - That's what I want you to tell me.
0:02:25 > 0:02:30I've invited them both here today to show us how they handle themselves in the classroom.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32You're a good judge of character, Tom.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35I think you'll know better than me which of them is a good fit.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38So you've invited them in for a teach-off?
0:02:38 > 0:02:41Yeah. They're both up for it.
0:02:41 > 0:02:45- I know I made a big mistake with Linda.- Well, no arguments there.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48So it's especially important I get this absolutely right.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51I'll arrange your cover. You just have to observe Nicki and Vanessa.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54Close of play, we'll get together, make a decision.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57Great. May the best woman win.
0:02:59 > 0:03:04- You know Mr Wilding's at the hospital.- He might be in. I got him this. It's something for the baby.
0:03:04 > 0:03:08- Like your hair. Reckon it'd suit me? - THEY LAUGH
0:03:08 > 0:03:10OK. Bad line, I know.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13- Which one of you can show me the way to the staff room?- I can.
0:03:13 > 0:03:17Perfect. On the way you can tell me all about Waterloo Road school.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19I want to know everything.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27Right, you two, stop right there.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29- Names?- What's it to you?
0:03:29 > 0:03:32Don't make me get the headmaster down here.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34- Tariq Siddiqui.- Kyle Stack.
0:03:34 > 0:03:38Is this how you treat all visitors that come to your school?
0:03:38 > 0:03:44- You really need to learn some manners. Try again. - BOTH: Sorry.- Good.
0:03:44 > 0:03:48Right, you show me to the staff room, please, and be quick about it.
0:03:53 > 0:03:57Won't have you disappearing on me again. I enjoy your company too much.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00Grady, I can't.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03- Give up again tomorrow. - My dad'll kill me.
0:04:16 > 0:04:20No wonder your head's in a mess with your murderous father on the loose.
0:04:20 > 0:04:21Relax.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23I'll protect you.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45Feels better already.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52I've got some proper gear coming in later,
0:04:52 > 0:04:54something a bit stronger.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57- Maybe we could meet? - Yeah, I'd like that.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02I mean...the gear sounds interesting.
0:05:09 > 0:05:13Think we should introduce ourselves? One of them might be working with us.
0:05:13 > 0:05:14No.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16Let them stew.
0:05:16 > 0:05:20It's all part of the interview process, kind of ritual humiliation.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27Erm, excuse me, sorry. Do you fancy a cuppa?
0:05:27 > 0:05:29Oh, coffee, black. Thank you.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32I'd love a tea. Got any camomile?
0:05:32 > 0:05:33HE CLEARS HIS THROAT
0:05:35 > 0:05:38Oh, Sian, I've got your order.
0:05:38 > 0:05:42Skin lotion, shower gel, shampoo,
0:05:42 > 0:05:44toning cream and cleansing mousse.
0:05:44 > 0:05:49- Vanessa Cooper. Here for the Head of English. - I'm sorry. Nicki Boston, hi.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52- I'm getting that... - Not been asked to do this before.
0:05:52 > 0:05:56Look, we're just two professionals doing our job.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59Let's not make this some huge competition thing.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02- I thought that's what it was. - Morning, nice to see you again.
0:06:02 > 0:06:07- Vanessa, Nicki.- Hi. - This is Tom Clarkson. He'll be observing you today.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10Well, it's your own fault for being such strong candidates.
0:06:10 > 0:06:15It's very simple. This morning you'll both be teaching Dickens' Hard Times and I'll look in
0:06:15 > 0:06:18- to see how you're getting on. - As for the pastoral care side,
0:06:18 > 0:06:21- we'll test out some of your ideas during the lunch hour.- Great.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24I had a scheme at my last school. Older kids mentor the younger.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27It proved really popular. The kids got such a lot out of it.
0:06:27 > 0:06:31- Erm, Nicki, you had an idea for a School Cadet Unit, right?- Yeah.
0:06:31 > 0:06:36Cadets encourages fitness and team-building, discipline, and I'll use my own army experience.
0:06:36 > 0:06:41- I'll look forward to seeing you in action.- There's no mistaking that military bearing.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43Yeah, I'd like to shake your hand.
0:06:43 > 0:06:47The kids here might benefit from some army discipline.
0:06:47 > 0:06:52- Though we prefer to talk to our pupils, not bark orders.- That might be where you've been going wrong.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55I'll leave you to it. I need to talk to Mr Wilding. We'll catch up later.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59Take a seat.
0:06:59 > 0:07:03There's been no change. I can't say when I'll be back in, Michael but...
0:07:04 > 0:07:06That's really kind of you.
0:07:08 > 0:07:13Yeah, thanks for the thought. Thank you, I appreciate it. Sorry it was work.
0:07:13 > 0:07:14Is everything OK?
0:07:14 > 0:07:16Yeah. They said they'd arrange cover so...
0:07:16 > 0:07:20Dr Stoneham was trying to persuade me to take a break.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23You could both do with some time off.
0:07:23 > 0:07:28You go ahead. I'll be OK. I can't even think of sleep. Not with Martha like this.
0:07:30 > 0:07:34You'll be in here with Year 12. And, Vanessa, you'll be taking my class, Year 13.
0:07:34 > 0:07:38So I'll let you get settled in and I'll be along to see how you're getting on.
0:07:40 > 0:07:44- Er, where've you been? You should've been here ages ago.- I got held up. - But where've you been?
0:07:44 > 0:07:47- Nowhere important. - Hi, there. Are you with me?
0:07:47 > 0:07:52- I don't know. Am I? - Yes, you are. My son, Josh.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55I was going to suggest him as a volunteer for your mentoring scheme.
0:07:55 > 0:08:00- Lovely. Are you going to help me out at lunchtime?- Sure.- Wonderful.
0:08:00 > 0:08:01This way.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06THEY ALL CHATTER
0:08:06 > 0:08:08Right!
0:08:08 > 0:08:09Stop that racket!
0:08:09 > 0:08:12ALL: Ooh!
0:08:13 > 0:08:15- I'm Miss Boston.- Newbie!
0:08:15 > 0:08:17THEY ALL LAUGH
0:08:20 > 0:08:22THEY FALL SILENT
0:08:23 > 0:08:24Everybody finished?
0:08:26 > 0:08:27Good.
0:08:27 > 0:08:32OK, I've been told that you lot are familiar with Hard Times, Charles Dickens.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34Never heard of it!
0:08:34 > 0:08:38- THEY GIGGLE - Obviously something is very amusing.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41- You want to share it?- No.- No?- No.
0:08:43 > 0:08:48OK, who can give me an idea of the themes from the novel?
0:08:49 > 0:08:51You?
0:08:52 > 0:08:56Um, it's just all factories in the old days.
0:08:56 > 0:09:01- It was dead boring.- From that penetrating analysis I can tell you've at least read the back page.
0:09:01 > 0:09:05- Oh, so you're trying to say she's thick.- No, it's just lazy.
0:09:05 > 0:09:10- And it sounds like she's not alone. - Well, this book is rubbish. What's it got to do with us?
0:09:10 > 0:09:14Well, it's...it's set here in the north-west of England
0:09:14 > 0:09:19and...some of you may have ancestors that worked at the factories and mills.
0:09:19 > 0:09:23Are you trying to say we're all like poor people?! You can't say that.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25THEY ALL START CHATTERING
0:09:25 > 0:09:27SHUT...UP!
0:09:29 > 0:09:30THEY TITTER
0:09:30 > 0:09:32You two, stand up.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43STAND...UP...NOW!
0:09:46 > 0:09:48Right, get to the front of the class.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51OTHERS LAUGH
0:09:53 > 0:09:55Facing the wall.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01Now, you so much as move...
0:10:01 > 0:10:06..I will have you doing laps of the playground for the rest of the morning.
0:10:10 > 0:10:16OK, right, for the rest of you, we're going to start again and this time you're going to listen.
0:10:18 > 0:10:22- That's better. We can't get to know each other all spread out. - Why the big smile?
0:10:22 > 0:10:24Was I smiling?
0:10:24 > 0:10:27His name's Grady, if you must know.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30That's me.
0:10:30 > 0:10:35I know Josh but I'll try and pick up your names as we go along.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39Don't be fooled by the title.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42Hard Times is actually a novel all about fun.
0:10:43 > 0:10:47All right, I admit, it's not exactly side-splitting, but...
0:10:47 > 0:10:52..can anyone give us some clues to Dickens' satirical strategy in this novel?
0:10:52 > 0:10:53Josh...
0:10:53 > 0:10:56- ..kick us off. - It's all about contrast.
0:10:56 > 0:11:00Like the characters in the Gradgrind and Sissy Jupe.
0:11:00 > 0:11:04One's about facts, the other's about the importance of imagination.
0:11:04 > 0:11:05Head and heart.
0:11:05 > 0:11:09That's excellent, Josh. Spot on. Thank you.
0:11:09 > 0:11:13- He's just got a new boyfriend, Miss. He knows all about the heart. - No, I haven't. Ignore her.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16As long as your head and your heart are balanced, Josh.
0:11:16 > 0:11:22That's the message of the novel. The contrast between, as Dickens would put it, "fact" and "fancy",
0:11:22 > 0:11:25which, in your case, Josh, means if you fancy him,
0:11:25 > 0:11:28make sure you've got your facts right.
0:11:30 > 0:11:34There's really nothing either of you can do. Perhaps a change of scene?
0:11:34 > 0:11:39- I'm not leaving her. - Martha's going to be here for quite some time. Maybe weeks.
0:11:40 > 0:11:46Matt, you've hardly slept since she was born. There's really no point making yourself ill, too.
0:11:47 > 0:11:48Go on.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50You need a break.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53I'll give you a call if there's any change.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56Yeah, a couple of hours wouldn't hurt, I suppose.
0:12:06 > 0:12:10Dickens describes the factories as something fantastic.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12Lights like fairy palaces.
0:12:14 > 0:12:20OK, everyone, back to your desks. Let's try a little creative writing around that idea.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31Josh? Where're you going?
0:12:32 > 0:12:36- I need the loo.- What's all this about a new boyfriend? You never said anything.
0:12:36 > 0:12:41- It's early days.- It's not really the best time, though, is it, with your exams coming up?
0:12:41 > 0:12:43I'm glad you're so happy for me.
0:12:46 > 0:12:50It's tomorrow night. Free drink if you tell them you're my guest.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53- Hey, I didn't know your boyfriend ran a club night.- Boyfriend?
0:12:53 > 0:12:59- Hey, Josh, what's he doing here? - Oh, you know Grady?- Who d'you think Kev used to get the weed off?
0:12:59 > 0:13:03- Finn, it's not like that. - Get him out of here or I'm reporting him, all right.
0:13:03 > 0:13:08- You getting all Head Boy on me? Chill out. He's OK once you get to know him.- He's trouble mate.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11Not from where I'm standing.
0:13:12 > 0:13:16- What's up with him?- Grady, if a teacher finds you in here...
0:13:16 > 0:13:20Who cares? What they going to do? Come on, let's us two get out of here.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26Denzil, who believes in facts above all else?
0:13:28 > 0:13:32No, lose two points. Not quick enough. That puts you all back to zero. Scout, same question.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34Mr Gradgrind,
0:13:34 > 0:13:38- and...I nominate Phoenix. - Good. Two points.
0:13:38 > 0:13:42- What's Gradgrind's problem, Phoenix? - He doesn't know how to have fun. I nominate Em.
0:13:42 > 0:13:49Two points. What do we call the kind of thinking that emphasises plain, practical living?
0:13:49 > 0:13:52Erm... Er... U-uni...
0:13:52 > 0:13:56U-uni- Uni... Unilateralism?
0:13:56 > 0:13:57- LAUGHTER - Everyone?
0:13:57 > 0:14:01- ALL:- Utilitarianism. - Utilitarianism.
0:14:01 > 0:14:05OK, thank you very much! I haven't told you to leave yet.
0:14:05 > 0:14:09You only got six points so you must do a lot better. All right, you can go.
0:14:09 > 0:14:15- What happened with these two? - They got a little bit over-heated so needed to cool down. You can go.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18Interesting approach, with the quiz.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21- Seemed to get results. - That's the idea.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26I was going to wait till later, but...
0:14:26 > 0:14:28What's all this for?
0:14:28 > 0:14:31Dunno. Early Christmas present or something. Just open it.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40Finn, it's beautiful.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50So are you.
0:14:50 > 0:14:56You're here. Excellent. Got your first official assignment as Head Boy and Head Girl.
0:14:56 > 0:14:57Come in.
0:14:58 > 0:15:03We're updating the school website and we'd like you to record a message for it.
0:15:03 > 0:15:07You've both taken on quite a responsibility as Head Boy and Head Girl. You're role models.
0:15:07 > 0:15:11So perhaps a message of introduction about being a pupil at Waterloo Road?
0:15:11 > 0:15:16- What d'you think?- Brilliant, Miss. - OK. We'd like to get it up by the end of the week so take the morning.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19I've cleared it with your teachers, OK.
0:15:25 > 0:15:30That's always the biggest challenge. Getting them to read the novel. I don't think I'd be a teacher
0:15:30 > 0:15:34- without books like these. - I'm the same. I love Dickens. I've read this so many times
0:15:34 > 0:15:36but I still get excited to teach it.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38There's a big literacy drive at the moment.
0:15:38 > 0:15:42We've the book club and several other initiatives to try
0:15:42 > 0:15:46- to counteract the rise in gang membership.- The Cadet Unit could definitely help there.
0:15:46 > 0:15:50Can't help feeling a good book's all anyone really needs.
0:15:53 > 0:15:54Matt?
0:15:54 > 0:15:57- Hey.- Hey, it's good to see you.
0:15:58 > 0:16:02- How's she doing? - Martha. We've named her Martha.
0:16:02 > 0:16:06She's... Yeah, she's hanging in there. There's nothing anyone can do but wait.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08I feel for you, mate.
0:16:08 > 0:16:12We weren't expecting you back. Are you sure you should be in?
0:16:12 > 0:16:16Yeah, they said I should take a break. I thought I may as well try and catch up on some marking,
0:16:16 > 0:16:20keep myself occupied. They'll call me if there's any change.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22Well, if there's anything we can do...
0:16:24 > 0:16:26Martha's a lovely name.
0:16:26 > 0:16:27Thanks.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31This is strong. What is it?
0:16:31 > 0:16:37The best, innit? Direct from Amsterdam, top-grade skunk.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41Grady, what's going on between us?
0:16:49 > 0:16:51My head's spinning.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56This makes it stop.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00All the pressure, school...
0:17:00 > 0:17:02So...
0:17:03 > 0:17:06- ..what shall we do now? - Don't know.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17You know I really like you.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21Makes wishes come true.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26Eh... You've had the free sample.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29Business is business.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38My legs aren't working.
0:17:38 > 0:17:42Well, it's a good job we don't have to go anywhere, then, innit?
0:17:43 > 0:17:47I can smell that from here! Stay right where you are!
0:17:52 > 0:17:56How did you get on with the two-for-one offer at the weekend?
0:17:56 > 0:18:00Well, Candora Cosmetics are replenishing the stock.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02Ah! You sold out? God, that's brilliant!
0:18:02 > 0:18:07I've still got a few left over but sounds to me like we did very well, all told.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10Very well indeed.
0:18:10 > 0:18:11SHE GASPS
0:18:11 > 0:18:17£800 in cash in there, all thanks to Candora's lotions and potions.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22All ready for the launch of our book club, Grantly?
0:18:22 > 0:18:25Oh, chomping at the proverbial bit, Mr Byrne.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30Oh, Miss Croft kindly helped me with the books.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37Well, I'm not sure you'll be needing them.
0:18:37 > 0:18:41I didn't want to tell you until I was sure, but we have had a donation.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43E-readers...
0:18:45 > 0:18:48Courtesy of a literacy charity.
0:18:49 > 0:18:53There are 3,000 books on this, Grantly.
0:18:53 > 0:18:57Oh, come on! Join us in the 21st century. You might even enjoy it!
0:18:57 > 0:19:05Every finger-stained page, every crease, every folded corner
0:19:05 > 0:19:10is a reminder of when I read it, how and where it impressed me.
0:19:10 > 0:19:16You can't reproduce the honourable scars of a well-loved book on one of those.
0:19:16 > 0:19:20Well, if one of THOSE encourages these kids to read, I'm all for it.
0:19:21 > 0:19:22Use them.
0:19:32 > 0:19:37Books are our gateway to other worlds.
0:19:37 > 0:19:41They transport us from our mundane reality
0:19:41 > 0:19:45at the turn of a page.
0:19:45 > 0:19:50Meanwhile, the inexorable march of progress rumbles on.
0:19:50 > 0:19:55Seems we no longer turn pages, we twiddle knobs.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57- But these are cool, sir. - Cool they may be,
0:19:57 > 0:20:01toys they most certainly are not. The school expects you to look after them.
0:20:01 > 0:20:05Sir, I'm never going to read a book this long in a week.
0:20:05 > 0:20:10Well, you won't know until you try, will you?
0:20:11 > 0:20:13- How's it even work?- It's easy.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16There's a list of all the books you can read.
0:20:16 > 0:20:21Err. I prefer to see books on shelves. Try Moby Dick.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30"Call me Ishmael." It's not the same as paper and print.
0:20:30 > 0:20:35But you can turn the pages like a normal book.
0:20:35 > 0:20:36Yeah, but...
0:20:38 > 0:20:40..can you fold the corners like a normal book?
0:20:44 > 0:20:48- Let's have a look.- Look, you do yours and I'll do mine, OK?
0:20:49 > 0:20:51It's not finished yet.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57Beginning to think you'd rather do this than spend time with me.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59Best bit about being head boy
0:20:59 > 0:21:02is getting to spend time with head girl.
0:21:02 > 0:21:06"Waterloo Road isn't just about exams and homework,
0:21:06 > 0:21:08"it's about the teachers and friends you'll make.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11"It's about the stuff you don't learn out of textbooks.
0:21:11 > 0:21:15"It's just a great place to go to school."
0:21:15 > 0:21:18- Will you do mine?- I don't think so.
0:21:19 > 0:21:23So, how come you get to play with all this cool stuff, then?
0:21:23 > 0:21:26- Or are you too busy playing with each other?- Jealous, Kyle?
0:21:26 > 0:21:29No. I don't go out with skanks.
0:21:29 > 0:21:33- What?- That's cos even the skanks are scared
0:21:33 > 0:21:35- of what they might catch off you. - Do one.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37If you know what's good for you.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40You know, you want to be careful where you're throwing your orders.
0:21:40 > 0:21:44You might be golden boy in here, but, on the street, you're nothing.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46I'd watch your back if I were you.
0:21:46 > 0:21:50Don't like the smell in here anyway, stinks of teacher's pets.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57Don't let that get to you.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00As if. I can handle the likes of him.
0:22:03 > 0:22:04BELL RINGS
0:22:04 > 0:22:09Erm. Book club starts next week
0:22:09 > 0:22:12and then every other Monday.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25Kept falling asleep in the waiting area.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27Got woken up by the cleaners a couple of times.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29The nurses'll think you've moved in.
0:22:29 > 0:22:33Mr Wilding. I got this for you and the baby.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35Just to let her to know that I'm thinking of her
0:22:35 > 0:22:37and willing for her to get better.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39- That's really sweet, Naseem. Thank you.- I hope she likes it.
0:22:39 > 0:22:43I will open it with her later, OK?
0:22:43 > 0:22:45PHONE RINGS
0:22:46 > 0:22:47Hello.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51- I've got to go.- What's happened? - It's Martha.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53- Do you want me to come with you? - Woah, woah.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55What is up with him?
0:22:55 > 0:22:58I think something's happened to the baby. Here, let me help.
0:22:58 > 0:22:59Thank you, Daniel.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03There's only 60 books in there,
0:23:03 > 0:23:07but there's 3,000 in this.
0:23:07 > 0:23:08And it's as light as a feather.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11- Do you want to swap?- No!
0:23:23 > 0:23:26I've got to do this. Come on, I've got to get it finished.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29I just don't want us to get too carried away.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32Well, maybe it's time we did.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38Are you saying what I think you're saying?
0:23:38 > 0:23:42You've been really great, waiting for me.
0:23:42 > 0:23:46Are you sure? Like, are you proper sure?
0:23:46 > 0:23:48Don't try and talk me out of it
0:23:48 > 0:23:51It's just that, like, things'll change, that's all.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53If there's a chance that you're going to regret it,
0:23:53 > 0:23:56- then I wouldn't want to risk it. - Finn.
0:23:57 > 0:23:59I just want it to be special.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01You know, it will be my first time.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04It will be special. It couldn't not be.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32- Rosie! What's happening? - She's developed an infection.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34We're running tests, we've got her on antibiotics.
0:24:34 > 0:24:38They think it might be meningitis.
0:24:38 > 0:24:42Well, the tests are ongoing. But, erm, that's a possibility.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44Look, she's not very well, Matt.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46What's he doing here?
0:24:52 > 0:24:55This doesn't mean she won't get better.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57Because she will.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01I know she will.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04Martha Grace, may Christ protect and defend you.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25Go on, babe, action.
0:25:25 > 0:25:28I'm Trudi Siddiqui and I'm head girl at Waterloo Road School.
0:25:28 > 0:25:32I'm here to tell you about the announcements for today of all the...
0:25:32 > 0:25:34What are you...? Finn! St...
0:25:34 > 0:25:38Hi, I'm Finn Sharkey, I'm head boy and I'm here to talk to you about...
0:25:38 > 0:25:40What a load of rubbish. Honestly, get him off! Get him off!
0:25:40 > 0:25:44And that, behind the camera, making all the noise, is...
0:25:44 > 0:25:47- my very own head girl Trudi Siddiqui.- Turn it... Finn!
0:26:03 > 0:26:06I had it a minute ago, I know I did.
0:26:09 > 0:26:10My classroom.
0:26:22 > 0:26:23Get out...!
0:26:34 > 0:26:37- There's over £800, there. - It belongs to somebody.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40- We should hand it in. - Finders keepers, innit?
0:26:40 > 0:26:43No-one will notice if we just take a bit, like 50 quid.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45It just don't feel right.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48Phoenix, it's not every day we trip over £800.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50Whoever had it should've looked after it, in the first place.
0:26:50 > 0:26:53Go get us some more drinks, Denze.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55We need to think about it, don't we?
0:26:56 > 0:26:59And get some more chips.
0:26:59 > 0:27:00We'll put it on the tab.
0:27:05 > 0:27:08- Everything going OK with the mentoring workshop?- Absolutely.
0:27:08 > 0:27:10I've got a lovely mixture of pupils.
0:27:10 > 0:27:14I'll drop in later, see how you're getting on.
0:27:14 > 0:27:17Burger, please, Maggie. Cadets had their marching orders?
0:27:17 > 0:27:19Well, I could do with a few extra.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21Trying to round up a few of the older kids.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23Get the soup, please?
0:27:30 > 0:27:34Tom, you know that kid with the dark hair.
0:27:34 > 0:27:38That's my son Josh. He's doing Vanessa's workshop.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41- Oh, I see.- If you need a hand.
0:27:41 > 0:27:45- No. I'm fine, fine. Thank you - LAUGHTER
0:27:45 > 0:27:50# Teach me how to dougie Teach me, teach me how to dougie. #
0:27:50 > 0:27:53- Yes, mate.- All right. You lot need to burn off some energy.
0:27:53 > 0:27:55You've just volunteered yourselves for the cadets.
0:27:55 > 0:27:5820 minutes, in the main hall. Bring your marching boots.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00Ahh.
0:28:00 > 0:28:02We're dougie-ing.
0:28:02 > 0:28:04I love being a student at Waterloo Road
0:28:04 > 0:28:06and I'm sure you would too.
0:28:06 > 0:28:08So, why not come visit us soon?
0:28:08 > 0:28:10Brilliant, well done, guys.
0:28:10 > 0:28:14I will get it uploaded and it should be online later today.
0:28:14 > 0:28:15Thanks for that.
0:28:18 > 0:28:19All set for tonight at mine?
0:28:19 > 0:28:22We've got the house to ourselves.
0:28:25 > 0:28:29- Look, you know if you change your mind, it's cool, don't ya?- Yeah.
0:28:29 > 0:28:30Good.
0:28:37 > 0:28:41Your bill. Three burgers, six portions of chips,
0:28:41 > 0:28:45six drinks, four cakes, and three Mars bars.
0:28:53 > 0:28:55Keep the change.
0:28:55 > 0:28:56Thank you very much.
0:29:00 > 0:29:01- You shouldn't have done that. - Why not?
0:29:01 > 0:29:04Won't make a difference to them. Won't even miss it.
0:29:04 > 0:29:06Yeah, to us, that money could mean everything.
0:29:06 > 0:29:08I could get a new pair of trainers.
0:29:08 > 0:29:12Have you seen state of mine? They've got flippin' holes in.
0:29:12 > 0:29:13What's up, mate?
0:29:13 > 0:29:16It's this stupid book I've got to read for book club.
0:29:16 > 0:29:18You know how long it takes me to read one.
0:29:18 > 0:29:20I'm never going to do it in a week.
0:29:20 > 0:29:21Just going to look an idiot.
0:29:21 > 0:29:23Oh, come on, Phoenix.
0:29:24 > 0:29:27Leave it with me, yeah? I'll talk to you later.
0:29:31 > 0:29:33OK, dictionary definition.
0:29:33 > 0:29:36Mentoring is the imparting of knowledge and support
0:29:36 > 0:29:40from those that have experience and skills to those that haven't.
0:29:44 > 0:29:49Sharing our problems and learning from each other's experiences.
0:29:49 > 0:29:52Hey, how's it going?
0:29:54 > 0:29:56No Josh?
0:29:56 > 0:29:59Um, I'm afraid Zack's lost his mentor. He hasn't turned up yet.
0:29:59 > 0:30:02Well, I saw him earlier. I'll go and find him.
0:30:19 > 0:30:21Oh, miss, he's here.
0:30:24 > 0:30:29Finally. This isn't a very good start, Josh.
0:30:29 > 0:30:33You're supposed to be setting an example.
0:30:33 > 0:30:35What's up with you?
0:30:35 > 0:30:37Josh, you'll be with Zack,
0:30:37 > 0:30:40so try to think of an experience you had at his age.
0:30:40 > 0:30:42We'll be sharing them later.
0:30:42 > 0:30:46Now, I thought we'd start with a few trust exercises,
0:30:46 > 0:30:49get to know one another properly, OK?
0:30:49 > 0:30:51So, everyone in your pairs, stand up.
0:30:51 > 0:30:54This first one's a proximity test.
0:30:54 > 0:30:57Face one another about three feet apart.
0:30:57 > 0:30:59I don't think he's right, miss.
0:30:59 > 0:31:03Come on, Josh, nothing to be nervous about. That's it, three feet.
0:31:09 > 0:31:11Have you been smoking again?
0:31:13 > 0:31:18Miss, he's not very well, he needs to go see a nurse. He's not well.
0:31:18 > 0:31:20Whatever's the matter, Josh?
0:31:20 > 0:31:24- I don't feel too good. - No, you don't look well at all.
0:31:25 > 0:31:27Oh, my God! Oh!
0:31:27 > 0:31:30Josh! Josh, come back here.
0:31:30 > 0:31:32Miss, are you OK?
0:31:52 > 0:31:54- I know you're stoned. - Leave me alone.
0:31:54 > 0:31:56You're in no fit state to go to class.
0:31:56 > 0:31:57You're coming with me.
0:32:00 > 0:32:02What you doing?
0:32:02 > 0:32:05I'm going to show you how we used to deal with stoners at the barracks
0:32:05 > 0:32:08You can't do this.
0:32:08 > 0:32:09You've got to be kidding.
0:32:13 > 0:32:16The one thing about the army is it teaches you
0:32:16 > 0:32:17how to take care of your own.
0:32:17 > 0:32:20You want to smoke drugs? This is what they do to you.
0:32:20 > 0:32:24Remember it. It's going to feel a lot worse before it gets better.
0:32:24 > 0:32:26- I'll report you- Yeah? You want your dad to see you like this?
0:32:26 > 0:32:28Or the head teacher?
0:32:31 > 0:32:33Right. Get changed.
0:32:37 > 0:32:39Yeah, sure. We can get this uploaded for you.
0:32:39 > 0:32:41What is it exactly?
0:32:41 > 0:32:43It's Finn and Trudi's messages for the new website.
0:32:43 > 0:32:45- It should all be on there. - See you.- Thanks.
0:32:48 > 0:32:51Kyle, got a job for you.
0:33:20 > 0:33:21What exactly is this for?
0:33:21 > 0:33:23Cos if we don't, she'll have us stand in a corner.
0:33:23 > 0:33:25Yeah, for a whole week.
0:33:27 > 0:33:29WHISTLE BLOWS
0:33:29 > 0:33:33OK, if I can have you in four lines of six,
0:33:33 > 0:33:37starting on the red line in the middle, there. Come on, move.
0:33:37 > 0:33:39I still don't feel too good.
0:33:39 > 0:33:40This'll make you feel better.
0:33:40 > 0:33:43Come on, get in line. At the front, there.
0:33:44 > 0:33:50So, the idea behind this cadet force is to encourage teamwork, OK?
0:33:50 > 0:33:55Confidence, self-discipline and the development of leadership skills.
0:33:55 > 0:33:58All right. It will be challenging, it'll be educational,
0:33:58 > 0:34:03it'll get you fit, but you can be sure it'll be exciting and fun too.
0:34:03 > 0:34:05- Yeah, when's the fun bit? - LAUGHTER
0:34:07 > 0:34:11- You've got to work for it. - LAUGHTER
0:34:11 > 0:34:15OK. First up, we got a basic drill.
0:34:15 > 0:34:18Then we're going to move on to a smart formation march.
0:34:18 > 0:34:22To stand to attention, watch me. Feet together, eyes front,
0:34:22 > 0:34:24back straight, arms down your sides
0:34:24 > 0:34:26with thumbs on the seams of your trousers.
0:34:26 > 0:34:29All right, on my call. Attention!
0:34:29 > 0:34:33MUSIC: "Pharaohs" by SBTRKT
0:34:36 > 0:34:37OK, come on.
0:34:39 > 0:34:40Quickly!
0:34:42 > 0:34:45OK, just keep it together. I want you to work hard and sweat it out.
0:34:45 > 0:34:48All right! Together on the beat. And march.
0:34:48 > 0:34:50One, two, three, four.
0:34:50 > 0:34:51ALL: One, two, three, four.
0:35:11 > 0:35:15Oh, cool. Where'd you get them shoes from?
0:35:15 > 0:35:17Oh. I'm breaking them in for someone.
0:35:17 > 0:35:19Right.
0:35:21 > 0:35:22That were close.
0:35:22 > 0:35:24What's all this, then?
0:35:24 > 0:35:27I just got myself a few presents. I got you a pair as well.
0:35:29 > 0:35:31And I got you this sick MP3 player.
0:35:33 > 0:35:34I don't get it.
0:35:34 > 0:35:36I think it's got one of those talking book apps.
0:35:36 > 0:35:39I reckon you could listen to one of those books from book club
0:35:39 > 0:35:41in about a week, even if you can't read it.
0:35:49 > 0:35:51Oi, any of you lot seen Josh?
0:35:51 > 0:35:52Um.
0:35:52 > 0:35:55- I think he's with Miss Boston's cadets.- Where have they gone?
0:35:55 > 0:35:57Er, they were going towards the estate, I think.
0:35:57 > 0:36:00Right, well, if you see him again, any of you,
0:36:00 > 0:36:03you come and find me immediately, understood?
0:36:05 > 0:36:08Oh, I've looked everywhere.
0:36:08 > 0:36:11I just, oh! I feel such a fool for bringing that amount of cash
0:36:11 > 0:36:14into this den of thieves.
0:36:14 > 0:36:17That money was going towards the cost of Fleur's care home
0:36:17 > 0:36:21like every other penny I make.
0:36:21 > 0:36:22I'm sorry, Grantly.
0:36:22 > 0:36:24What am I going to do, Maggie?
0:36:26 > 0:36:29I mean, I'm a month behind with the payments already.
0:36:29 > 0:36:32That cash was going to sort me out.
0:36:35 > 0:36:39I just don't know how much longer I can afford to keep her there.
0:36:44 > 0:36:45Right.
0:36:45 > 0:36:48Buck up, lad.
0:36:48 > 0:36:50There's no point in moping, hmm?
0:36:50 > 0:36:54Somebody has got that money and all we've got to do is find out who.
0:36:55 > 0:36:58- Hm?- You're right.
0:36:58 > 0:37:01Yep, it's in the building somewhere.
0:37:01 > 0:37:05I am not going to rest until I find out where.
0:37:11 > 0:37:14It's better now, miss, you can hardly smell it.
0:37:14 > 0:37:15Vanessa?
0:37:15 > 0:37:18Oh, Tom, I'm afraid Josh is ill with something.
0:37:18 > 0:37:21He was sick in class. On me.
0:37:21 > 0:37:22He was what?
0:37:22 > 0:37:26He was behaving quite oddly - falling all over the place.
0:37:27 > 0:37:31- Where is he now?- He just ran out. - Towards the changing rooms.
0:37:31 > 0:37:35Right. Thank you. I'm really sorry.
0:37:54 > 0:37:58- Sound off!- ALL: One, two! - Sound off!- Three, four!
0:37:58 > 0:38:02- War - ter - loo Road. - Waterloo!
0:38:02 > 0:38:05- Fog lifting yet? - Yeah, I'm feeling better.
0:38:05 > 0:38:07Good. You just needed to get your heart pumping.
0:38:07 > 0:38:08Come on, keep your legs moving.
0:38:08 > 0:38:12Get you in a fit state, then we'll have a chat.
0:38:12 > 0:38:14I just don't know any more, Sian.
0:38:14 > 0:38:17We've been here before. He swore he'd stopped smoking it.
0:38:17 > 0:38:20Well, maybe there's something more to it.
0:38:20 > 0:38:22Josh is a good kid at heart.
0:38:22 > 0:38:25Don't jump to conclusions before you've spoken to him.
0:38:25 > 0:38:27It's all lies and broken promises.
0:38:27 > 0:38:29I'm going to take him to Michael.
0:38:29 > 0:38:32It's the only way I can make him see what he's doing to himself.
0:38:32 > 0:38:34- Sound off!- ALL: One, two.- Sound...
0:38:34 > 0:38:36All right, all right, all right. That's enough.
0:38:36 > 0:38:38We don't want to get done for breach of the peace.
0:38:38 > 0:38:41Take five minutes, get a drink.
0:38:48 > 0:38:52Josh, babe. Love the PE kit. Sexy.
0:38:52 > 0:38:55- Who's that?- Just a friend. - A friend like me?
0:38:58 > 0:38:59I never said I was exclusive.
0:38:59 > 0:39:03- I like all my clients to feel special.- Is that all I am?
0:39:05 > 0:39:08I'm a businessman. In my business it pays to be considerate.
0:39:08 > 0:39:09What did he say?
0:39:09 > 0:39:13- He say that he loved you, that he wanted to be with you? It was all for the money.- Stop it.
0:39:13 > 0:39:14You led me on.
0:39:16 > 0:39:20- Listen to me, little boy.- Oi. - You do not want to mess with me!- Oi!
0:39:23 > 0:39:25Come on. You OK?
0:39:27 > 0:39:29All right?
0:39:29 > 0:39:32Rhona, Shona!
0:39:33 > 0:39:36I need a few moments with Josh so, you're in charge.
0:39:36 > 0:39:39If you can get that lot back to school and I'll follow you in a bit.
0:39:39 > 0:39:41- OK.- Yes, Miss.
0:39:43 > 0:39:47'Hi, I'm Finn Sharkey, I'm head boy and I'm here to talk to you about...
0:39:47 > 0:39:49'What a load of rubbish.
0:39:49 > 0:39:52'I'm here to tell you about the announcements for today.
0:39:52 > 0:39:55'of all the... Finn, stop it.
0:39:55 > 0:39:57'Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
0:40:00 > 0:40:02'Honestly, get him off. Get him off.
0:40:02 > 0:40:05'And that, behind the camera, making all...'
0:40:05 > 0:40:06Matt, quick.
0:40:10 > 0:40:13She's responded really well to the antibiotics.
0:40:13 > 0:40:14I think she's turned a corner.
0:40:19 > 0:40:23She's going to be all right.
0:40:24 > 0:40:26Oh.
0:40:27 > 0:40:29You are a miracle worker.
0:40:29 > 0:40:33Your daughter's a little fighter. She did all the hard work.
0:40:36 > 0:40:41- BELL RINGS - OK, everyone, find yourself a seat.
0:40:41 > 0:40:45What was so urgent you had to go out at lunch time?
0:40:50 > 0:40:52How many do you think we're going to need?
0:40:52 > 0:40:54They were on offer, man.
0:40:56 > 0:41:00Right then, today's all about a beautiful, tragic love story
0:41:00 > 0:41:02set to the music of poetry.
0:41:02 > 0:41:05Ted Hughes and Sylvia Plath.
0:41:05 > 0:41:08It's a real roller-coaster, so hold on to your hats.
0:41:10 > 0:41:12Mr Budgen, what are you doing?
0:41:12 > 0:41:15We have a thief amongst us.
0:41:15 > 0:41:21Right, you lot, turn out your pockets and open your bags.
0:41:21 > 0:41:24- Woah, hang on, sir, what's been stolen?- Money.
0:41:24 > 0:41:28A great deal of money. My money!
0:41:28 > 0:41:33Now, someone here is concealing a felony and I will know who.
0:41:33 > 0:41:34Open those bags.
0:41:34 > 0:41:37These students have human rights, Mr Budgen. Where's your proof?
0:41:37 > 0:41:39And what about the rights of the victim?
0:41:39 > 0:41:44I've lost £800 and someone here knows where it is.
0:41:44 > 0:41:46Open your bag, Sharkey.
0:41:46 > 0:41:50- What's in there is nothing to do with you, sir.- Open it!
0:42:03 > 0:42:06You, stop!
0:42:06 > 0:42:08Don't you start on the younger ones now.
0:42:08 > 0:42:10What's all this?
0:42:10 > 0:42:12Sorry, sir?
0:42:12 > 0:42:15Where did you acquire this little lot?
0:42:15 > 0:42:17Ah, Phoenix got it for me. It's top quality.
0:42:19 > 0:42:21And where could I find Phoenix?
0:42:28 > 0:42:31Open it.
0:42:34 > 0:42:36It was only a present for my little brother.
0:42:36 > 0:42:43Mmm. And a very expensive one. Rather like these, for instance.
0:42:43 > 0:42:46Now, where would you find the money for them? Hm?
0:42:46 > 0:42:49MUSIC: "Ritual Union" by Little Dragon.
0:42:55 > 0:42:59There must be nearly £500 missing from this envelope.
0:42:59 > 0:43:02- Where's the rest of my money? - Sir, it wasn't just him.
0:43:03 > 0:43:06Show me.
0:43:12 > 0:43:14Thieves, the lot of you.
0:43:14 > 0:43:20- If we'd have known it was yours, we'd have given it straight back. - What you did was a criminal offence.
0:43:20 > 0:43:24You stole my money and now, you're going to pay back every penny.
0:43:24 > 0:43:27Well, we can take it back to the shops, you know, get a refund.
0:43:27 > 0:43:30We're wearing most of it. You can't return used stuff.
0:43:30 > 0:43:35Yeah, but, sir, how do you expect us to get this money back?
0:43:35 > 0:43:40The same way I did, young man. By working for it.
0:43:41 > 0:43:46Otherwise, I shall take the whole, sorry story to the police.
0:43:48 > 0:43:50How much dope do you smoke?
0:43:54 > 0:43:58And that guy. I saw you with him earlier. He sells you it, right?
0:43:58 > 0:44:00- So?- What's his name?
0:44:00 > 0:44:01Grady.
0:44:03 > 0:44:05He hurt you, I know.
0:44:05 > 0:44:08I don't like being took for a ride.
0:44:08 > 0:44:10You think this is all his fault?
0:44:10 > 0:44:13It was your choice to take the spliff.
0:44:14 > 0:44:16I thought Grady liked me.
0:44:16 > 0:44:18This isn't really about him, it's about you.
0:44:18 > 0:44:22And that you're trying to blot out your problems by getting high.
0:44:22 > 0:44:24And that everything just got ten times worse.
0:44:25 > 0:44:31So, honestly, how much are you smoking?
0:44:31 > 0:44:33Just a bit.
0:44:35 > 0:44:38- A lot. Too much.- Yeah.
0:44:38 > 0:44:41So, stop blaming everyone else and take some responsibility
0:44:41 > 0:44:46cos I'm not always going to be here to sober you up.
0:44:46 > 0:44:48What's going to happen when we get back?
0:44:48 > 0:44:51I think you know the answer to that. Come on.
0:44:53 > 0:44:57Right, all in. Face the front, eyes to me!
0:44:58 > 0:45:02- Quick.- Where's Miss Boston? - Oh, she left us in charge, sir. Why?
0:45:02 > 0:45:05- She sent you back alone?- Josh got in an argument with some bloke.
0:45:05 > 0:45:08- Then he started fighting. - Where are they now?
0:45:08 > 0:45:09Not far behind us.
0:45:14 > 0:45:17- Oi, you've got some explaining to do.- Dad.
0:45:17 > 0:45:22You've had enough chances, now you're going to get treated like any other pupil. Get inside!
0:45:22 > 0:45:25- Tom, wait - What was he doing on this march of yours apart from fighting?
0:45:25 > 0:45:28He was in a bad state. I was trying to sober him up.
0:45:28 > 0:45:29You knew about the drugs?
0:45:29 > 0:45:31What? And you didn't come and tell me?
0:45:31 > 0:45:34- This just gets better. - Maybe you should talk to Josh first.
0:45:34 > 0:45:37Don't tell me how to deal with my own son.
0:45:37 > 0:45:42Haven't you got a class to get to? We'll talk later.
0:45:42 > 0:45:45You didn't have to be like that, she was only trying to help.
0:45:45 > 0:45:48Why, Josh? After everything that we've been through.
0:45:48 > 0:45:51- You promised me. - Of course I promised, I had to.
0:45:51 > 0:45:54Then why are you still smoking this crap? Tell me!
0:45:56 > 0:45:58We used to talk about everything.
0:45:58 > 0:46:00How can I talk when you act like this?
0:46:00 > 0:46:04- So, you'd rather talk to Nicki, would you?- She doesn't judge me.
0:46:04 > 0:46:08She made me see I don't have to use drugs to solve my problems.
0:46:08 > 0:46:11Well, it's Michael's judgement you need to be concerned with now.
0:46:11 > 0:46:15You've had enough chances to straighten out.
0:46:17 > 0:46:18You stay there.
0:46:24 > 0:46:25Yeah.
0:46:27 > 0:46:30So, how are the candidates doing?
0:46:30 > 0:46:34It's not about that. Josh has been smoking cannabis.
0:46:34 > 0:46:37- He was stoned in school. - He was what?
0:46:37 > 0:46:39Off his head.
0:46:39 > 0:46:43He ruined Vanessa's mentoring workshop and he got into a fight on the cadet march.
0:46:43 > 0:46:45A fight? That doesn't sound like Josh at all.
0:46:45 > 0:46:48Well, a few weeks ago, I'd have said the same thing.
0:46:48 > 0:46:51Now, I just don't know any more.
0:46:51 > 0:46:53I know this puts you in a difficult position, Tom.
0:46:53 > 0:46:57But this school has a zero tolerance policy on drugs.
0:46:57 > 0:47:02Instant exclusion, police involvement and no exceptions.
0:47:02 > 0:47:04I don't want any special favours, Michael.
0:47:04 > 0:47:07I know how serious this is and Josh should know it too.
0:47:07 > 0:47:10- He gets treated like any other kid in this school.- OK.
0:47:17 > 0:47:20This is not what I had in mind when I asked you to do this.
0:47:20 > 0:47:23Look, miss, that's not right. You saw what we did.
0:47:23 > 0:47:25That is you two on the screen?
0:47:25 > 0:47:28You're head boy and head girl, what did you think you were doing?
0:47:28 > 0:47:31- You're supposed to be setting an example.- Sorry, miss.
0:47:31 > 0:47:34I didn't take you out of lessons so that you could mess around.
0:47:34 > 0:47:38Obviously, I will have this taken down and the real footage uploaded.
0:47:38 > 0:47:41But you need to start taking your new roles seriously.
0:47:41 > 0:47:45Being head boy and head girl comes with responsibility, OK?
0:47:46 > 0:47:47Off you go.
0:47:54 > 0:47:58- I've never been so embarrassed. - I know.
0:47:58 > 0:48:02Look, it's cool for you to come round tonight if you're still sure.
0:48:06 > 0:48:08Josh, give me one good reason
0:48:08 > 0:48:10why I should let you stay at Waterloo Road?
0:48:10 > 0:48:15Or would you rather waste your life and your talent?
0:48:15 > 0:48:18You want to stay at this school or not?
0:48:18 > 0:48:21Come on, you heard Mr Byrne.
0:48:21 > 0:48:22Yeah, I do.
0:48:24 > 0:48:26It's just sometimes I can't cope.
0:48:26 > 0:48:30It's like there's so much pressure and expectation everywhere.
0:48:30 > 0:48:32And smoking drugs helps, does it?
0:48:35 > 0:48:36Go on.
0:48:40 > 0:48:43It's just, when I smoke, all that disappears.
0:48:45 > 0:48:46I know it's wrong, but...
0:48:46 > 0:48:48it makes everything easier.
0:48:48 > 0:48:52And where are you getting the drugs? Is it someone in school?
0:48:52 > 0:48:55There's this guy. Grady.
0:48:55 > 0:48:56I thought we had something.
0:48:56 > 0:49:00Right, because of him, you thought you'd jeopardise your whole future?
0:49:00 > 0:49:02But...
0:49:02 > 0:49:05I've tried to stop, I promise. It's just so difficult.
0:49:05 > 0:49:09- Why didn't you say something? - Because if it's not school, you're not interested.
0:49:09 > 0:49:13Right, we both know that I should be getting the police involved,
0:49:13 > 0:49:15but because of your honesty thus far,
0:49:15 > 0:49:17you've avoided a criminal record.
0:49:17 > 0:49:21But don't think for a second that you've got away lightly with this.
0:49:23 > 0:49:27We're going to exclude you for a week and when you come back, you'll be on probation.
0:49:27 > 0:49:30Every lunch hour, you'll help out around the school.
0:49:30 > 0:49:34- Picking up litter, scrubbing off graffiti, whatever's required. - Yes, sir.
0:49:34 > 0:49:37Make no mistake, if you betray my trust again, you are out for good.
0:49:37 > 0:49:39Understood?
0:49:40 > 0:49:42Understood?
0:49:46 > 0:49:47Yes, sir.
0:49:47 > 0:49:49Now, go.
0:49:54 > 0:49:56- Wait for me in my office. - And while you're out there,
0:49:56 > 0:50:00you can write down this Grady's details for the police.
0:50:07 > 0:50:10- You OK?- Yeah.
0:50:12 > 0:50:14I just wish he'd come to me.
0:50:14 > 0:50:16I had no idea that things had got so bad between us.
0:50:16 > 0:50:19We can talk about the new Head of English candidates later,
0:50:19 > 0:50:24- if you feel you need more time. - No, it's fine. We need to sort it.
0:50:24 > 0:50:26Although after everything that's happened,
0:50:26 > 0:50:28I can't see either candidate is a serious contender.
0:50:28 > 0:50:32Well, I understand your reservations with Nicki but Vanessa?
0:50:32 > 0:50:35She didn't spot a pupil on drugs
0:50:35 > 0:50:37and I don't think she's got the kind of experience
0:50:37 > 0:50:41that would cope with the challenges of this school.
0:50:41 > 0:50:46And, presumably, having the right kind of experience isn't a criticism we could level at Nicki?
0:50:46 > 0:50:48Well, she just plays by her own rules.
0:50:48 > 0:50:51I mean, she's demonstrated that very clearly.
0:50:52 > 0:50:54What? You don't agree?
0:50:54 > 0:50:57Well, however you look at it, she saw a problem with Josh
0:50:57 > 0:50:58and dealt with it.
0:50:58 > 0:51:00Well, she should've come to me.
0:51:00 > 0:51:04You don't think she could be a good fit here?
0:51:04 > 0:51:06No, I don't see it, I'm sorry.
0:51:06 > 0:51:08- BELL RINGS - Right.
0:51:11 > 0:51:13They will work hard and I will get my money back.
0:51:13 > 0:51:17If you're really short, then I could lend you.
0:51:17 > 0:51:22No. I wouldn't dream of it. No, you've done more than enough.
0:51:22 > 0:51:27I, yeah, I wanted to thank you for your support today.
0:51:27 > 0:51:31It's been very agreeable
0:51:31 > 0:51:35having someone to share my troubles with again.
0:51:35 > 0:51:40- Are you trying to say you've enjoyed having us around?- Oh, erm.
0:51:40 > 0:51:43In short, yes, very much.
0:51:48 > 0:51:51Sorry, hope I wasn't interrupting anything.
0:51:51 > 0:51:53I should be getting off, anyway.
0:52:00 > 0:52:03She seems nice.
0:52:03 > 0:52:07Maggie. Do I sense a little romance in the air?
0:52:07 > 0:52:09I'm a married man, Daniel.
0:52:09 > 0:52:11Now, that might not mean anything to you,
0:52:11 > 0:52:15but when I said the words for better or for worse, I meant them.
0:52:24 > 0:52:28- Would you like me to withdraw my application?- I'm sorry?
0:52:28 > 0:52:30Well, I presume I haven't got the job,
0:52:30 > 0:52:32so it will just save you wasting paper
0:52:32 > 0:52:34on a formal letter of rejection.
0:52:34 > 0:52:38It's a shame. You know, I think this school needs me.
0:52:38 > 0:52:41It has the kind of challenges I've always relished.
0:52:41 > 0:52:43You know, it's got problems.
0:52:43 > 0:52:46Failing students, discipline, drugs.
0:52:46 > 0:52:48Yeah, not to mention the gang issues.
0:52:48 > 0:52:53I think I have exactly the right skills to deal with that. But you've made your decision, so...
0:52:53 > 0:52:56Yeah. And you haven't got the job. I'm sorry.
0:52:58 > 0:53:01Well, thank you for an interesting day.
0:53:12 > 0:53:15Perhaps we could let Vanessa down a little more gently?
0:53:22 > 0:53:24Vanessa, come in.
0:53:28 > 0:53:30Nicki looked upset.
0:53:30 > 0:53:33Seems a bit unfair to take that as a good sign, but...
0:53:33 > 0:53:37Vanessa, today's experiment hasn't proved to be very successful.
0:53:38 > 0:53:42We've decided not to go with either candidate.
0:53:42 > 0:53:44I see.
0:53:44 > 0:53:46Well, if it's not to be, it's not to be.
0:53:46 > 0:53:49I'm sure you'll find the right person.
0:53:49 > 0:53:52Well, thank you for your interest.
0:53:52 > 0:53:55- I'd better go and find Josh.- Sure.
0:53:55 > 0:53:59- I'm sorry it hasn't worked out, but I'm sure I'll see you again. - Onwards and upwards.
0:54:05 > 0:54:06Look.
0:54:08 > 0:54:12As you're not going to be my boss, do you fancy a drink sometime?
0:54:12 > 0:54:15- Sorry?- I'm asking you out.
0:54:15 > 0:54:17Oh, right.
0:54:19 > 0:54:21You've got my number. Call me.
0:54:26 > 0:54:30Oh, I thought I'd missed you. You couldn't give us a lift, could you?
0:54:30 > 0:54:33Only I came in on the bus and I need to pick up some Candora stuff
0:54:33 > 0:54:35- on my way home.- I'm in a hurry.
0:54:35 > 0:54:38What's the matter with you? You go straight past the depot
0:54:38 > 0:54:41- Stand aside, please. I am going to see my wife.- Grantly?
0:54:44 > 0:54:46Have you got Grady's details for Michael?
0:54:46 > 0:54:49- I feel like a grass.- Hey, you don't owe this bloke anything.
0:54:49 > 0:54:52You've been very lucky today.
0:54:52 > 0:54:56Josh, this is your future that you're playing with.
0:54:56 > 0:55:00I don't know what's going on with you any more. I'm worried.
0:55:01 > 0:55:04- Don't, Dad.- I just want to help you.
0:55:04 > 0:55:08- Tell me what I can do. Anything. - OK, I'll try.
0:55:12 > 0:55:15What's up with her?
0:55:15 > 0:55:17You!
0:55:17 > 0:55:18Oh, it's Grady.
0:55:20 > 0:55:21Stay in the car.
0:55:21 > 0:55:24Go on, Captain Nicki.
0:55:27 > 0:55:29Ah, look at that.
0:55:29 > 0:55:31Your little drug dealing secret's out in the open.
0:55:31 > 0:55:34Rhona! Call the police, please.
0:55:37 > 0:55:40- Get off.- Shut up.
0:55:46 > 0:55:49- Well, that was quite something. - Yeah.
0:55:50 > 0:55:53I think I might've made a bit of a mistake with Nicki.
0:55:54 > 0:55:56Well then, maybe you'd better apologise.
0:55:56 > 0:55:59Guess you're right.
0:56:05 > 0:56:09Hey. I wanted to say I'm sorry.
0:56:09 > 0:56:10For what?
0:56:10 > 0:56:13Blaming you for something that's my problem.
0:56:13 > 0:56:16You know what you were saying about the school needing you.
0:56:16 > 0:56:19Forget it, it was disappointed bluster.
0:56:19 > 0:56:21No, I think you're right.
0:56:21 > 0:56:25Well, judging by what I've just seen and what the kids think of you,
0:56:25 > 0:56:29I really believe that there's a role for you here.
0:56:29 > 0:56:31You want me as Head of English?
0:56:31 > 0:56:33Well, I don't need a bodyguard.
0:56:35 > 0:56:37I could give you a few days to think about it?
0:56:37 > 0:56:39Think about? When do I start?
0:56:41 > 0:56:45Feels like you already have. Welcome to Waterloo Road.
0:56:55 > 0:56:58- I'm Janeece.- Craig.
0:57:00 > 0:57:01Look at me!
0:57:02 > 0:57:06- Where did you get that?- Your boot.
0:57:06 > 0:57:10I'm doing a paternity test. I don't think Dad's my real dad.
0:57:10 > 0:57:13You know what, you've been a dad for all of five minutes
0:57:13 > 0:57:14and now you reckon you know it all.
0:57:14 > 0:57:17No. But I know I'll never take my child for granted
0:57:17 > 0:57:19Well, at least, now it's all over,
0:57:19 > 0:57:21we don't have to spend any more time together.
0:57:21 > 0:57:24Huh, ha, every cloud.
0:57:24 > 0:57:28- I am reporting you. I'll get you struck off.- Matt.
0:57:29 > 0:57:33What you doing? You're going to set the fire alarm off
0:57:33 > 0:57:35- Calm down, you big girl. - No, put it out.
0:57:35 > 0:57:38You need to get him to a GP as soon as possible
0:57:38 > 0:57:41Why don't you just stick to basic first aid
0:57:41 > 0:57:42and leave the psychology to the people
0:57:42 > 0:57:46- that know what they're talking about. - Josh, what's going on, mate?
0:57:49 > 0:57:50What you doing?
0:57:50 > 0:57:53It's, OK. Hey, mate, you...it's OK, eh, it's OK.
0:57:53 > 0:57:57He was freaking out, hitting the fire alarm when it was already going off,
0:57:57 > 0:57:59I wanted to go after him but...
0:57:59 > 0:58:00Oh, man.
