0:00:04 > 0:00:05HE CLEARS HIS THROAT
0:00:05 > 0:00:07HE SIGHS
0:00:07 > 0:00:09Do you think the blue on blue is too much?
0:00:09 > 0:00:12I should've worn the charcoal, right? The charcoal is more serious.
0:00:12 > 0:00:14Stop worrying, Twinkle. You look gorgeous.
0:00:17 > 0:00:21Although...hmm, yeah, there is something missing.
0:00:21 > 0:00:23- What?- This.
0:00:26 > 0:00:30Mrs Lowsley! No public displays of affection in school.
0:00:30 > 0:00:33Although the bell hasn't gone yet, and we are newlyweds.
0:00:36 > 0:00:38PHONE RINGS
0:00:38 > 0:00:41Sorry. Oh, it's Christine, I better answer.
0:00:42 > 0:00:44Morning, boss.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48Yeah, we're all set for the big presentation.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52Oh, right. Do you want me to postpone the assembly?
0:00:54 > 0:00:55Yeah, yeah, but, Christine...
0:00:55 > 0:00:57- Oh, she's gone. - Did she hang up on you?
0:00:57 > 0:00:59No, no. Probably just lost signal.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03She's running late with the council.
0:01:03 > 0:01:04I just want to prove to her...
0:01:04 > 0:01:08Twinks, you don't need to prove anything. You are amazing!
0:01:08 > 0:01:11This new initiative is amazing, this term is going to be - what?
0:01:11 > 0:01:14- Amazing.- Yeah. - BELL RINGS
0:01:14 > 0:01:16Ah, that's me. Got to go to late duty.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18- See you later. - Go get 'em, tiger!
0:01:35 > 0:01:39- Good morning, everyone. PUPILS:- Good morning, Mr Lowsley.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42On behalf of Mrs Mulgrew and the rest of the teaching staff,
0:01:42 > 0:01:45I'm delighted to usher in the new term.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47Waterloo Road is going to blaze a trail
0:01:47 > 0:01:49other schools will be desperate to follow.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51Do you think it's a new computer lab?
0:01:51 > 0:01:54- Wake me up when it's all over. - Resilience!
0:01:54 > 0:01:55Anyone heard of it?
0:01:55 > 0:01:58Well, this little word is set to change your lives
0:01:58 > 0:02:00- in more ways than you can imagine. - Dull.com!
0:02:00 > 0:02:02Bet it means more homework, whatever it is.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05And if you're not excited yet...
0:02:05 > 0:02:06you will be.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21Resilience Education is a new technique
0:02:21 > 0:02:24for emotional literacy and problem-solving.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27An activity approach to happier pupils.
0:02:27 > 0:02:31- It's about empowerment, it's about action!- Lowsley's lost it.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33Miss Boston, Mr Gonway, if you would.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38You are being handed questionnaires
0:02:38 > 0:02:40about your hopes, dreams and ambitions.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43Please fill these in before the end of today.
0:02:43 > 0:02:47From these we will work out a personal Resilience programme
0:02:47 > 0:02:51for each of you based on your goals for the term.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54He's checking his phone again.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56I urge you to listen, you'll be glad you did.
0:02:56 > 0:03:00So what is Waterloo Road's Resilience Education?
0:03:00 > 0:03:03A waste of time? Liberal nonsense?
0:03:03 > 0:03:05It's a tool...
0:03:05 > 0:03:06for life.
0:03:06 > 0:03:07As is he.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11Nobody move!
0:03:11 > 0:03:13SCREAMING
0:03:21 > 0:03:22Everyone evacuate!
0:03:22 > 0:03:25- Imogen! - Make your way outside, calmly.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35- The doors are locked! - Let us out now!
0:03:38 > 0:03:41It's all right, it's all right. He's not dangerous.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44Look, I'm fine, I'm fine.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46- It's ketchup!- No way.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49Does he think this is funny?
0:03:50 > 0:03:53What you've just experienced was a complete mock-up.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58Oh, no, no. Stay, please.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01Is this how you always introduce yourself to new people?
0:04:01 > 0:04:05Pupils, staff, it gives me great pleasure to introduce
0:04:05 > 0:04:09our new PE teacher, who implemented a full Resilience programme
0:04:09 > 0:04:13at his last school and will be doing the same at Waterloo Road.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15Give it up for Mr Reid!
0:04:16 > 0:04:18SMATTERING OF APPLAUSE
0:04:25 > 0:04:28I trusted you to take over while I'm at a council meeting,
0:04:28 > 0:04:31and what happens? Complete chaos!
0:04:31 > 0:04:33- I just wanted... - I'm still talking, Simon.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36And I expected better of you on your first day, Mr Reid.
0:04:36 > 0:04:37Please, call me Hector.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43"Resilience Education is a new technique for emotional literacy
0:04:43 > 0:04:47"and problem-solving, an activity approach to happier pupils."
0:04:47 > 0:04:51Exactly what does THAT...got to do with what I saw in there?
0:04:51 > 0:04:53- Plenty.- Perhaps you'd like to enlighten me then...
0:04:53 > 0:04:55Hector?
0:04:55 > 0:04:57When Si and I met during the summer at RAW Camp...
0:04:57 > 0:04:59"Resilience At Work."
0:04:59 > 0:05:01..I explained how my last school did a mixture of Resilience
0:05:01 > 0:05:05and Emergency Education - basically much more hands-on.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08And I don't think you can deny what we saw in there...
0:05:08 > 0:05:10- got everyone's attention. - No, I can't.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13And I'm sure the parents will be paying it equal amounts
0:05:13 > 0:05:16of attention when their kids tell them about it.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18- I should fire you on the spot. - Come on, Christine...
0:05:18 > 0:05:21I'm sure Hector is more than capable of answering for himself.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23I can't promise you I'm not going to push these kids
0:05:23 > 0:05:25out of their comfort zone every now and again.
0:05:25 > 0:05:26That's how I work.
0:05:26 > 0:05:30But Si, he tells me great things about the way that YOU work.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32And I think together, we could be a winning combo.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36Let's see how that goes.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38DRILLING
0:05:38 > 0:05:41Can someone explain what that is all about?
0:05:41 > 0:05:44Ah. Now the wall...
0:05:46 > 0:05:48..that's with me.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51Stay in your form groups, please. No stragglers.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55I can't believe Mr Lowsley did that!
0:05:55 > 0:05:57You haven't said anything, have you?
0:05:57 > 0:06:01No. No, mate. Look, what happened in London, stays in London.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03I'm sure Imogen suspects.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07Look, mate, you're going to have to tell her sooner or later.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10- He's been checking his phone loads since he got back from London.- So?
0:06:12 > 0:06:13Connor? Never!
0:06:14 > 0:06:17I don't know why you're so para, he totally loves ya!
0:06:17 > 0:06:19All right, the smoke seems to have cleared.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22Literally or metaphorically? All present and correct.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26Yeah, apart from our mysterious newcomer.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28- Gabriella Wark.- Hmm.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30MUSIC: "Sex Beat" by Gun Club
0:06:32 > 0:06:35Nothing mysterious about her parents, clearly.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40Why do some people feel the need to announce their importance?
0:06:40 > 0:06:42MISS BOSTON LAUGHS
0:06:45 > 0:06:47Are you sure about this?
0:06:47 > 0:06:52You wanted her to experience harsh reality, didn't you? Come on.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08(I won't tell you again, Gabriella - take the lipstick off.)
0:07:17 > 0:07:18PUPILS GASP
0:07:22 > 0:07:24There. Off.
0:07:27 > 0:07:28I never did anything!
0:07:35 > 0:07:36We're very pleased to have someone
0:07:36 > 0:07:38of your ability join the school, Gabriella.
0:07:39 > 0:07:43Your Duke of Edinburgh Gold Award is a great achievement.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46We hope she can continue the sterling work at Waterloo Road.
0:07:49 > 0:07:50Don't we, Amelia?
0:07:52 > 0:07:53Oh, um, yes.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58Your academic achievements are so impressive it makes me all
0:07:58 > 0:08:03the more concerned about you being expelled from your last school.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06It says here there were... behavioural issues?
0:08:09 > 0:08:12Obviously, we take no pride in Gabriella's expulsion.
0:08:12 > 0:08:16Our daughter is a little prone to... flights of fancy.
0:08:16 > 0:08:20What she means is, Gabriella is easily distracted,
0:08:20 > 0:08:24and these private schools are very intolerant of the slightest flaw.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27Lots of bright young people act up because they get bored.
0:08:27 > 0:08:31But here we pride ourselves in getting the kids involved in...
0:08:31 > 0:08:32Right, well. We must be on our way.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35Oh...right.
0:08:39 > 0:08:40Goodbye, Gabriella.
0:08:47 > 0:08:51Sonya, if you have a moment in your no-doubt hectic schedule,
0:08:51 > 0:08:54could you educate me on the fax machine?
0:08:54 > 0:08:56I'm just showing Miss Wark to...
0:08:56 > 0:08:57I'll do it, Sonya.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00- This way, please. - Certainly.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07- It'll be quicker if I do it. - Just show me.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09I'm sure I'm capable of...
0:09:09 > 0:09:11- What are you hiding, George? - It's personal.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14Then you shouldn't be using the school fax machine.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18Who uses fax machines these days anyway?
0:09:18 > 0:09:20My solicitor.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25That Gabriella is a breath of fresh air.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28Reminds me a little of myself actually.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32Simon, assembly - what was that about?
0:09:32 > 0:09:35A bit of theatrics to grab the pupils' imaginations, Nikki.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38Got everyone buzzing. The Resilience initiative is going to be great.
0:09:38 > 0:09:41Yeah? I'm going to take a bit more persuading than that.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44Oh, Nikki, I was just like you when Simon told me his plan.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47I thought, "Uh-oh - this is a bit bonkers!"
0:09:47 > 0:09:50- I mean, the rubber baseball bat? - Took me ages to get that online.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52- And he doesn't even like ketchup! - I don't, do I?
0:09:52 > 0:09:56However, the statistics from Hector's last school are really impressive.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59Yep, they are. So is Hector, don't you think?
0:09:59 > 0:10:01No. I think he's a prat.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04- Can we have a go at this then? - I like your enthusiasm.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06- What's your name? - Darren.
0:10:06 > 0:10:11Well, Darren, this wall could be your first step towards greatness.
0:10:11 > 0:10:15- What are we meant to do with it?! - Conquer it, what else?
0:10:15 > 0:10:20Reid's Rules, number one - challenge yourself daily.
0:10:20 > 0:10:25So...who thinks they can scale this wall?
0:10:26 > 0:10:28- What, we climb over it? Is that it? - Mm-hmm.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52- So, what was Darren missing? - A brain?
0:10:52 > 0:10:56The means to make it happen.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59Only an Olympic standard high-jumper could come close to clearing
0:10:59 > 0:11:01a wall like this on his own.
0:11:01 > 0:11:02Glad you had a crack though, mate.
0:11:02 > 0:11:04Reid's Rules, number two...
0:11:06 > 0:11:09..fear is the pathway to failure.
0:11:09 > 0:11:13So, what does Darren need to succeed?
0:11:13 > 0:11:16- Uh, help. - In more ways than one.
0:11:16 > 0:11:20Correct! Reid's Rules, number three -
0:11:20 > 0:11:22team work...
0:11:22 > 0:11:25makes the dream work.
0:11:25 > 0:11:29Now, you lot, you go over here and join Darren.
0:11:29 > 0:11:34And the rest of you will take your orders from this young lady...
0:11:34 > 0:11:37who has far too much to say to stay hidden at the back.
0:11:38 > 0:11:43You've got five minutes to come up with a strategy.
0:11:43 > 0:11:48Then you'll go on my whistle. Fastest team wins.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51- Can we do it any way we want? - Yup.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53Time...starts...now.
0:11:55 > 0:11:56Fit, ain't he?
0:11:57 > 0:12:00Well, I'd hope so, being a PE teacher.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03No! I mean, he is fit.
0:12:04 > 0:12:05Can't say I've noticed.
0:12:10 > 0:12:15And not only was this a period of huge social and political upheaval
0:12:15 > 0:12:19in France, but it had a radical effect on the rest of Europe too...
0:12:19 > 0:12:21It's not like I lead her on or anything.
0:12:21 > 0:12:22You didn't stop her either.
0:12:22 > 0:12:26- Enjoying it too much, were you? - ..reading and watching today.
0:12:26 > 0:12:30In France alone, a monarchy collapsed,
0:12:30 > 0:12:32a society was transformed...
0:12:32 > 0:12:36- I wonder why she went for Connor out of everyone.- Why, you jealous?
0:12:36 > 0:12:39No...no. No, babes, you've got nothing to worry about.
0:12:39 > 0:12:43- Who's worried? - ..great historical events,
0:12:43 > 0:12:48what actually happened is far, far more exciting than
0:12:48 > 0:12:50any work of fiction you're likely to find today.
0:12:51 > 0:12:56Perhaps our newest class member can enlighten us further. Gabriella?
0:12:56 > 0:13:00Care to share your thoughts on the French Revolution?
0:13:00 > 0:13:01There's no need to be shy.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03Did you cover this at your last school?
0:13:04 > 0:13:07Actually we spent quite some time on the conditions of France
0:13:07 > 0:13:09that led to the Storming of the Bastille.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11Ugh, stuck up or what?!
0:13:11 > 0:13:14Rhiannon, that's enough! Please carry on, Gabriella.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17We studied the rise of Napoleon, the war in Europe
0:13:17 > 0:13:18and the Battle of Waterloo.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21Very good! Now, as Gabriella has just...
0:13:21 > 0:13:24Which was won by the Duke of Wellington, Arthur Wellesley,
0:13:24 > 0:13:26who then went on to become Prime Minister.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28That's not an area we're going to be covering.
0:13:28 > 0:13:33Why not? Surely the Peninsular War is as important an topic?
0:13:33 > 0:13:37The Battle of Talavera alone is a historic event of such magnitude...
0:13:37 > 0:13:38I think you'll find I'm the teacher, dear.
0:13:38 > 0:13:43Well, "dear", I suggest you teach me something I don't already know then.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45LAUGHTER
0:13:46 > 0:13:49- Go to the cooler, please. - I don't know where that is.
0:13:49 > 0:13:50I can show her, miss.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54Everybody, read chapter six of your books quietly, please.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56And you, madam, come with me.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19- MR REID:- Now you guys are going to hear me talk a lot about grit...
0:14:19 > 0:14:20Come back here!
0:14:20 > 0:14:24..most important quality you can possess as an individual...
0:14:27 > 0:14:33Hey! Hey! What the hell...? Hey, hey! Stop the car!
0:14:34 > 0:14:37Stop the car! Stop the car now!
0:14:40 > 0:14:42Agh!
0:14:42 > 0:14:43TYRES SCREECH
0:14:44 > 0:14:46CAR HORN BLARES
0:14:54 > 0:14:56HE PANTS
0:14:56 > 0:14:58ENGINE IDLES
0:15:02 > 0:15:05- Why did you take off like that?! - She was really angry. I was scared of what she might do.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07Oh, nonsense! I was walking her to the cooler.
0:15:07 > 0:15:11I don't know what made her run, but her driving skills leave a lot to be desired.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13- This is no joke. Someone could have been killed.- Yes, quite.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16But thanks to Hector's quick response, no-one was hurt.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19- Resilience in action, right there. - That doesn't make it all right.
0:15:19 > 0:15:20I'm just saying.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23What exactly were you hoping to achieve, Gabriella?
0:15:25 > 0:15:27She certainly had a lot more to say for herself in my class...
0:15:27 > 0:15:30If you're trying to get kicked out of school again,
0:15:30 > 0:15:31you're going the right way about it.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33We'll see what your parents think.
0:15:33 > 0:15:34No, please don't tell them.
0:15:42 > 0:15:43Come on, there's no need for that.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47Maybe you could give us a few minutes.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55SHE SNIFFS
0:15:55 > 0:15:56You saw what he was like.
0:15:59 > 0:16:00My father.
0:16:01 > 0:16:02You can't tell him.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08You put lives in danger, including your own.
0:16:08 > 0:16:09How can I not tell him?
0:16:09 > 0:16:11Because he'll kill me!
0:16:12 > 0:16:14I don't know why I took the van.
0:16:14 > 0:16:19I panicked. I didn't know where Miss McFall was taking me, and...
0:16:21 > 0:16:23..some of the teachers at my last school were...
0:16:25 > 0:16:26..were cruel.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29What are you trying to say?
0:16:33 > 0:16:34I want to stay.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37I do. Everyone here is so nice.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42I was showing off in history before, it won't happen again.
0:16:42 > 0:16:43BELL RINGS
0:16:51 > 0:16:54- You saved my life. - I did what anyone would do.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56That's not true.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58Listen, what you did out there was really reckless.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01You're far too clever and young to put yourself in danger like that.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04- Do you really care? - Of course I do.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07Promise me you won't do anything like it again.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09Anything for you, Mr Reid.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12If you are having problems though, you can always talk them through.
0:17:13 > 0:17:14- With you?- Sure.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24Mmm. Seems very troubled.
0:17:24 > 0:17:26I know.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30One minute she's running away, the next she's desperate to stay.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32I'm not sure what's changed.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36I really should ring her parents, but there was
0:17:36 > 0:17:39something about them this morning. They were so...
0:17:39 > 0:17:42so distant. But thanks for what you did.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45It could have been a lot worse.
0:17:45 > 0:17:46Not a problem.
0:17:47 > 0:17:51Almost - ALMOST - makes up for your antics in assembly.
0:17:51 > 0:17:52I have a class waiting.
0:17:58 > 0:17:59I so would.
0:18:03 > 0:18:08So, when a substance dissolves in liquid it forms a solution.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10The substance we're using here is sugar crystals,
0:18:10 > 0:18:12and the liquid is water.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15Did you hear about her running off last lesson?
0:18:17 > 0:18:20Is that Connor's? How'd you get it?
0:18:20 > 0:18:22Don't worry, I'll put it back.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25You want to know who he's been talking to, don't you?
0:18:25 > 0:18:26I don't know...
0:18:26 > 0:18:29I hope you're focused on the experiment, girls!
0:18:29 > 0:18:31- Sorry, Miss Spark. - It's Mrs Lowsley now.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36The aim of what we're doing is to see how changing the temperature
0:18:36 > 0:18:40of the water changes the speed at which the sugar dissolves.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43You could probably have the Bunsen burner a bit higher, Rhiannon.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45Connor's been acting weird and kissing random girls,
0:18:45 > 0:18:48and you don't want to know what's going on?
0:18:48 > 0:18:50I don't know his password.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52You don't need to, I've unlocked it.
0:18:53 > 0:18:54Our Barry showed me how.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04- Who is Cookie? - I don't know.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09- Call the number.- No! - No more talking, girls!
0:19:09 > 0:19:12- Sorry, Miss Spark. - Mrs Lowsley!
0:19:13 > 0:19:15Excuse me? If there's something there that
0:19:15 > 0:19:18interests you more than my class, I'd love to know what it is.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22Things more interesting than this class? How long have you got?
0:19:24 > 0:19:27Put the phone away, please, or I'll be forced to confiscate it.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35OK, hand it over.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37Fiver says Miss Spark's going to cry.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39Eh, no, "It's Mrs Lowsley now."
0:19:40 > 0:19:44- Oh, I love your ring, miss. - Oh. Thank you.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48It's amazing what you can get in pound shops these days.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50LAUGHTER
0:19:50 > 0:19:51Cooler now, please!
0:19:58 > 0:20:00Ah, please join us. With all the fuss earlier
0:20:00 > 0:20:02I don't think we've been properly introduced.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04- Audrey McFall. History. - Lovely to meet you.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06- Tea?- Mmm, please.
0:20:06 > 0:20:10Yes, it was difficult to welcome you properly in assembly,
0:20:10 > 0:20:12what with all the smoke and abject panic.
0:20:12 > 0:20:14Sorry about that.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16Me and Si couldn't help but mix it up a bit.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18Can we expect a terror alert every morning?
0:20:18 > 0:20:22Perhaps a fire bomb tomorrow, or an acid attack?
0:20:22 > 0:20:25All I'm asking is you give this approach a fair chance.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28It's time to think outside the box, George,
0:20:28 > 0:20:31stand under a thought shower and let yourself get wet.
0:20:38 > 0:20:39Do you know Hector well?
0:20:43 > 0:20:44Who?
0:20:44 > 0:20:46Mr Reid. What's he like?
0:20:47 > 0:20:49Can you get on with your work please?
0:20:51 > 0:20:52Does he live around here?
0:20:54 > 0:20:56- Is he single? - I won't tell you again.
0:21:04 > 0:21:09- After everything we've been through. He wouldn't, would he?- I don't know.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12You said yourself, he's been acting weird.
0:21:12 > 0:21:13How often does he spend his break in here?
0:21:17 > 0:21:19- Hi.- Hi.
0:21:19 > 0:21:24- What you doing?- Nothing. Some homework, but I'm done now.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27Said to Kev I'd play footy with him, so...I'd better go.
0:21:32 > 0:21:33He hates football.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40ELECTRONIC MUSIC
0:21:43 > 0:21:47Vix! What are you doing here?
0:21:49 > 0:21:50- Look who it is! - Hi, sis.
0:21:52 > 0:21:56Of course, yes, you were at the wedding. Remember me?
0:21:56 > 0:21:58Sorry, there were so many new faces that day.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01- Is, eh, everything all right? - Everything's fine.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04I was in the area to see a supplier and I thought you could help me
0:22:04 > 0:22:06pick out a pressie for Dad's birthday this afternoon.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09You know I'm rubbish at that kind of thing.
0:22:09 > 0:22:10Well, I'm a bit busy.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13- It won't take long.- SIMON: Come on, you can spare half-an-hour.
0:22:13 > 0:22:18- Oh, OK.- Great. I'll see you outside the shopping centre, say, 12.30?
0:22:18 > 0:22:20The bell goes at 12.35, so it's more likely to be quarter to.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22Fine. Bye!
0:22:24 > 0:22:25Bye!
0:22:30 > 0:22:34You should ask her to pop in more often. Is she single?
0:22:34 > 0:22:36Uh, I don't think you're her type.
0:22:37 > 0:22:38Lovely.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41Disruptive or not, Gabriella's got a keen mind,
0:22:41 > 0:22:43these answers are very intelligent.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45Shame her previous school didn't teach her better manners.
0:22:45 > 0:22:49Oh, come on. She might have a smart mouth, but let's not judge her on day one, eh?
0:22:49 > 0:22:50TEXT JINGLE
0:22:56 > 0:23:00Oh, hello. A smile like that can only mean one thing -
0:23:00 > 0:23:03- someone new on the scene. - Maybe.
0:23:10 > 0:23:12I know what's been going on.
0:23:15 > 0:23:16With Cookie?
0:23:16 > 0:23:19Look, I was... I was going to tell you.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23Did you meet her in London?
0:23:25 > 0:23:28Yeah. That's where her restaurant is.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31Cookie Crumbles, like I told you?
0:23:31 > 0:23:33The place in Hoxton?
0:23:33 > 0:23:35You said it was run by some trendy chef.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38Cookie Davies. All the critics are raving about her.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40I sent over some recipes and she
0:23:40 > 0:23:43wanted to interview me for a job - kitchen hand.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47- Wait, you thought that...? - Why didn't you tell me?
0:23:47 > 0:23:50Cos if I get the job, I'm going to have to move...to London.
0:23:53 > 0:23:54- For how long?- Well...
0:23:57 > 0:24:00Sounds like it's all decided then. BELL RINGS
0:24:08 > 0:24:10Try and snog my mate's boyfriend again
0:24:10 > 0:24:12and I will rip your eyeballs out.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14- Understood?- As if.
0:24:14 > 0:24:18Although at least he's more appealing than his chavvy friend.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20- What did you just call him?! - You heard me.
0:24:21 > 0:24:25- Oh, is he your boyfriend? - You want to watch your mouth!
0:24:25 > 0:24:27Incapable of fighting your own battles?
0:24:27 > 0:24:28If I wanted to fight,
0:24:28 > 0:24:31you'd be picking your teeth up off the floor now.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34- She's not even worth it. - Did you have to?
0:24:36 > 0:24:38Why are you all so keen to follow that bimbo around?
0:24:38 > 0:24:40That bimbo's my mate, we look out for each other.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43What is it with you?
0:24:43 > 0:24:45You don't like the teachers, you don't like us.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48You want to spend your whole time here alone, that's your lookout,
0:24:48 > 0:24:51but there's not enough money in the world to buy friends at Waterloo Road.
0:24:54 > 0:24:59Good morning, year six. Today, we're starting Robinson Crusoe.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02One man's fight for survival against the odds.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05Shipwrecked and alone for years,
0:25:05 > 0:25:10Crusoe has only his own physical and mental resources to draw from.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13Right, I want you to spend a couple of minutes coming up with
0:25:13 > 0:25:17the one thing you would take with you if you were shipwrecked.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19You can work in pairs, so discuss with your neighbour.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22He's not cheating on you. That's good, isn't it?
0:25:22 > 0:25:25So, she thought you were seeing someone else,
0:25:25 > 0:25:29- and now she knows you're not, but she's still moody?- Yep.
0:25:29 > 0:25:30How does that work?
0:25:30 > 0:25:33London's not exactly down the road, is it?
0:25:35 > 0:25:38- If I get it, I'll be gone for weeks at a time.- Right then.
0:25:39 > 0:25:43- Dynasty, you first. - Erm...lip balm?
0:25:43 > 0:25:44LAUGHTER
0:25:44 > 0:25:47What? I'd die without it in all that sunshine!
0:25:47 > 0:25:51Not very practical though, is it?
0:25:51 > 0:25:53- Gabriella. What would you take? - A Swiss Army Knife.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56Good. Several ways you could use that. Very resilient.
0:25:56 > 0:25:59Ugh, is this class just an excuse for you to go on about that
0:25:59 > 0:26:01Resilience Education rubbish again?
0:26:01 > 0:26:04I think it sounds great, sir. Can't you tell us more about it?
0:26:05 > 0:26:08I noticed you've already filled out your questionnaire,
0:26:08 > 0:26:09and very interesting it is too.
0:26:09 > 0:26:13If you don't go the extra mile, you don't get the rewards.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16Our new pupil Gabriella knows that.
0:26:16 > 0:26:20She has the Duke Of Edinburgh Gold Award to show for her hard work.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22Would you like to tell us about it?
0:26:22 > 0:26:24Achieving the award was a very proud moment,
0:26:24 > 0:26:28but it was working towards it that was the most enjoyable part.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31I never let myself believe I can't have anything I set my sights on.
0:26:31 > 0:26:35You can all be winners like Gabriella, with the right attitude.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37Thank you, Mr Lowsley.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40Connor, read the first statement on the back of the questionnaire.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45"Do one thing every day that scares you."
0:26:45 > 0:26:46Kevin, the next one please.
0:26:47 > 0:26:51"Clear from your life anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful."
0:26:51 > 0:26:54- Dynasty. - "Get in touch with your wild side."
0:26:54 > 0:26:57So we should use these new philosophies in school, sir?
0:26:57 > 0:26:59Yes, as much as you possibly can!
0:27:01 > 0:27:03POSH VOICE: "That was amazing, Mr Lowsley.
0:27:03 > 0:27:05"You're so perfect, Mr Lowsley."
0:27:05 > 0:27:07What you going to do next, lick his shoes?
0:27:07 > 0:27:09You are such a suck-up.
0:27:09 > 0:27:10I wasn't sucking up actually,
0:27:10 > 0:27:13I think you'll find I was doing everyone a favour.
0:27:13 > 0:27:14How do you work that one out?
0:27:14 > 0:27:18Mr Lowsley wants us to incorporate his little Resilience sound bites
0:27:18 > 0:27:21- into school life, remember? - So?
0:27:21 > 0:27:25So he's given us permission to do pretty much whatever we want.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28All these are open to quite loose interpretation, I'd say.
0:27:31 > 0:27:35Ah, the infamous Miss Wark. Your reputation proceeds you.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38Front of the class, if you don't mind.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40I've a feeling I might need to keep an eye.
0:27:40 > 0:27:42I won't be any trouble, promise.
0:27:42 > 0:27:45- Parlez-vous francais? - Oui, certainment.
0:27:45 > 0:27:47Vous prononcez bien, Mademoiselle Wark.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50Et vous etes tres seduisant, Monsieur Windsor.
0:27:52 > 0:27:53What did she say?
0:27:53 > 0:27:57Let's keep the conversation in English for now, shall we?
0:27:57 > 0:28:00I'd like you all to write an essay this morning in French entitled
0:28:00 > 0:28:03"What I Did On My Holidays"
0:28:03 > 0:28:08Yes, I know, an idea as old as the hills, yet surprisingly effective
0:28:08 > 0:28:11in allowing me to assess your current ability.
0:28:11 > 0:28:13Or lack of it.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19MUSIC: "I Love You, Ono" by Stereo Total
0:28:25 > 0:28:27What on Earth do you think you're doing?
0:28:27 > 0:28:30Mr Lowsley told us to get rid of anything that wasn't
0:28:30 > 0:28:34useful, beautiful or joyful, so I am.
0:28:34 > 0:28:37What else did Mr Lowsley tell you to do?
0:28:37 > 0:28:42So, we just put a few drops of the solution into the test tube.
0:28:45 > 0:28:47LAUGHTER
0:28:50 > 0:28:52Hey, guys, calm down!
0:28:52 > 0:28:54Uh, what's a simile, miss?
0:28:54 > 0:28:57Where do I put a semicolon in a sentence?
0:28:57 > 0:29:01What's the difference between a verb and an adverb?
0:29:01 > 0:29:04PUPILS SHOUT OVER ONE ANOTHER
0:29:04 > 0:29:07What on Earth is going on?
0:29:07 > 0:29:10Right! What's with all the questions?
0:29:10 > 0:29:13We're getting in touch with our wild side!
0:29:13 > 0:29:16Mr Lowsley said, "Shout if you want to be heard."
0:29:16 > 0:29:18Make waves, not war!
0:29:25 > 0:29:26And here we are again.
0:29:26 > 0:29:29I think I preferred it when you were plotting against me.
0:29:29 > 0:29:31You were a lot less trouble, Simon!
0:29:31 > 0:29:34Mum, have you got a minute?
0:29:34 > 0:29:35No, Connor, not right now.
0:29:36 > 0:29:37OK, it can wait.
0:29:39 > 0:29:41It's not like I planned this, is it?
0:29:41 > 0:29:44Several classes disrupted, all because the pupils
0:29:44 > 0:29:47were reciting your Resilience platitudes as if it were law.
0:29:47 > 0:29:49It's just a blip, all right?
0:29:49 > 0:29:52I'll find out who's behind the trouble and deal with them.
0:29:52 > 0:29:53There's always a ringleader.
0:29:56 > 0:29:59- We weren't the only ones playing up. - So you admit you were playing up?
0:29:59 > 0:30:01He's right, everyone else was in on it.
0:30:05 > 0:30:08You tell me whose idea it was, and you're out of here.
0:30:22 > 0:30:25- You can sit with us if you want? - No thanks, I'm not staying.
0:30:29 > 0:30:32You wouldn't be a darling and show me where the gym is?
0:30:32 > 0:30:35- What you up to? - Show me and you'll find out.
0:30:43 > 0:30:46I just need to convince her that nothing is going to change.
0:30:46 > 0:30:49Yep, and how are you going to do that?
0:30:49 > 0:30:53Don't know, cook her a nice meal, put on Breaking Dawn - Part 2...
0:30:53 > 0:30:54What?
0:30:54 > 0:30:56Home-cooked dinner and a DVD? Come on!
0:30:56 > 0:30:58- You've got to rev it up a bit! - How?
0:31:05 > 0:31:08- Not nice?- Fish paste.- Hmm.
0:31:11 > 0:31:15- So?- "So"?
0:31:15 > 0:31:17So it's not like you to hide away at lunchtime,
0:31:17 > 0:31:21especially when Simon's given you so much material to tease him about.
0:31:21 > 0:31:24Why do you need to fax your solicitor?
0:31:25 > 0:31:26To finalise my divorce.
0:31:28 > 0:31:29- Oh.- Mmm.
0:31:29 > 0:31:30Lock up your daughters,
0:31:30 > 0:31:33George Windsor is back on the market.
0:31:33 > 0:31:36Well, surely this is a good thing? Princess left months ago.
0:31:36 > 0:31:37You can move on with your life.
0:31:37 > 0:31:40Thank you, Oprah Winfrey.
0:31:40 > 0:31:42But I'm not very good on my own, Christine.
0:31:42 > 0:31:44As the fish paste sandwich illustrates.
0:31:44 > 0:31:46I'm better with a companion.
0:31:46 > 0:31:47Soul mate, you know?
0:31:47 > 0:31:51- Just to make your packed lunch? - No, not...just that.
0:31:51 > 0:31:55Company, you know, dining out, dining in.
0:31:55 > 0:31:58- Nocturnal activities. - Thank you, George, I've just eaten.
0:31:58 > 0:32:01- What did you have? - Not fish paste.
0:32:01 > 0:32:02You sound like my kind of woman!
0:32:04 > 0:32:06Come on. Time for your fax lesson.
0:32:08 > 0:32:09Want a chip?
0:32:09 > 0:32:12Don't know how you eat so much junk food without ballooning.
0:32:12 > 0:32:15- You don't even go to the gym! - Can't all be action women like you.
0:32:15 > 0:32:18Anyway, I find other ways to burn off calories.
0:32:22 > 0:32:24- SHE LAUGHS - You shouldn't lead them on!
0:32:24 > 0:32:26It's a bit of fun. Lighten up.
0:32:26 > 0:32:29I am light. I am so light, I'm practically weightless.
0:32:33 > 0:32:36So, eh, why did you really want to see me?
0:32:36 > 0:32:38Not after another loan for your jewellery business?
0:32:38 > 0:32:40I know you usually go to Dad for that sort of thing.
0:32:40 > 0:32:43The same Dad that gave you the deposit for your house?
0:32:43 > 0:32:45On top of the money he saved for your wedding.
0:32:45 > 0:32:47- You can't begrudge me that! - And then you eloped, remember?
0:32:50 > 0:32:52Don't forget though, he saved that money for both of us.
0:32:52 > 0:32:54Not like you're going to need it!
0:32:54 > 0:32:56Gay marriage is legal now, or did you miss that?
0:32:56 > 0:32:59But you're not really gay. Just confused.
0:32:59 > 0:33:02If you like, sis. Come on, I'll drop you back at school.
0:33:13 > 0:33:14HE EXHALES
0:33:18 > 0:33:20- Where are the changing rooms? - Down there.
0:33:22 > 0:33:23Wait up!
0:33:27 > 0:33:28Perhaps if you met the right chap,
0:33:28 > 0:33:31you could drop all this silly stuff about liking girls.
0:33:31 > 0:33:34We're not kids any more, it's not like you need the extra attention.
0:33:34 > 0:33:38Right, firstly, I wasn't the one who was always desperate for attention.
0:33:38 > 0:33:42That was you. And secondly, I've been out ten years.
0:33:42 > 0:33:43When are you going to accept it?
0:33:43 > 0:33:47Maybe when you have a serious, lasting relationship?
0:33:47 > 0:33:52FYI, I'm in a relationship. In fact, I'm in love, OK?
0:33:52 > 0:33:55- Since when? - Since just after your wedding.
0:33:55 > 0:33:59So who is she, this amazing woman that's finally stolen your hea...?
0:33:59 > 0:34:01Sorry, Nikki, we're kind of having a family thing.
0:34:05 > 0:34:06I'm in love with you.
0:34:08 > 0:34:09Vix...
0:34:21 > 0:34:22What was that?
0:34:22 > 0:34:25I was hoping for something more along the lines of "I love you too."
0:34:42 > 0:34:43What are you going to do?
0:34:44 > 0:34:46Stay here and keep watch.
0:34:51 > 0:34:52Mr Reid?
0:34:53 > 0:34:55MUSIC PLAYS ON HEADPHONES
0:34:55 > 0:34:56HE GRUNTS
0:34:59 > 0:35:02Gabriella. What can I do for you?
0:35:02 > 0:35:04You look really hot, I thought you could use this.
0:35:04 > 0:35:06I could, yes, thank you.
0:35:19 > 0:35:20So...
0:35:21 > 0:35:23Rhiannon, what are you doing loitering there?
0:35:23 > 0:35:25Erm...
0:35:25 > 0:35:27- Cover yourself up! - Why, don't you like what you see?
0:35:43 > 0:35:46I gave you the benefit of the doubt after your stunt this morning
0:35:46 > 0:35:47because you seemed genuinely sorry.
0:35:50 > 0:35:52But you repay me with this.
0:35:52 > 0:35:53Why?
0:35:57 > 0:36:01And once again, Mr Reid is involved.
0:36:01 > 0:36:04Is there something going on here you're not telling me?
0:36:06 > 0:36:09Gabriella, I want to help you, I really do.
0:36:09 > 0:36:11But you're not making it easy.
0:36:12 > 0:36:15You wouldn't understand. You people never do.
0:36:16 > 0:36:17Try me.
0:36:20 > 0:36:23If you're going to punish me, then punish me.
0:36:23 > 0:36:25Fine. Have it your way.
0:36:28 > 0:36:29It really wasn't how it looked.
0:36:31 > 0:36:32She's not even my type.
0:36:33 > 0:36:36SHE SIGHS
0:36:36 > 0:36:37Go to the cooler, Gabriella,
0:36:37 > 0:36:39a teacher will come and get you when we're done.
0:36:39 > 0:36:42Yep, I'll take her, in case she tries to do another runner.
0:36:45 > 0:36:50OK, if Mr Reid has behaved in any way inappropriately,
0:36:50 > 0:36:51you need to tell Mrs Mulgrew.
0:36:51 > 0:36:54Or me. You won't get into trouble.
0:36:54 > 0:36:55But he would, wouldn't he?
0:37:00 > 0:37:04You were in the wrong place at the wrong time again, is that it?
0:37:05 > 0:37:06If you like.
0:37:08 > 0:37:12You don't seem to be taking this very seriously...Hector.
0:37:12 > 0:37:14Because it's ludicrous. I didn't touch her.
0:37:16 > 0:37:21I heard what you said to her this morning, about being there if she needed extra help.
0:37:22 > 0:37:27- What sort of extra help were you offering?- That was totally innocent.
0:37:27 > 0:37:28KNOCK ON DOOR
0:37:31 > 0:37:34Right. I think what we're dealing with
0:37:34 > 0:37:37is an old-fashioned school girl crush.
0:37:37 > 0:37:40- Why do you think that? - Well, this morning in the cooler,
0:37:40 > 0:37:43she was asking loads of questions about him. And just now...
0:37:43 > 0:37:45there was something in her manner.
0:37:45 > 0:37:48- She's quite calm and in control. - Mmm, I was thinking the same.
0:37:50 > 0:37:54- Why didn't you say that before? - Didn't want to flatter myself.
0:37:54 > 0:37:56You don't strike me as the modest type.
0:37:56 > 0:37:57Maybe I have hidden depths.
0:38:01 > 0:38:05So, how long's Nikki been seeing your sister?
0:38:05 > 0:38:07Um, Victoria and I aren't really that close.
0:38:07 > 0:38:09Aww.
0:38:09 > 0:38:11Thanks for sticking up for me.
0:38:11 > 0:38:13I call it as I see it, no big deal.
0:38:13 > 0:38:16- It's Hector, by the way.- What?
0:38:16 > 0:38:18- No more "Mr Reid". - Fine.
0:38:25 > 0:38:27About what happened outside, I'm really sorry.
0:38:27 > 0:38:30It's between you and her, nothing to do with me.
0:38:30 > 0:38:32No, even so, you shouldn't have found out like that.
0:38:32 > 0:38:35I'm used to it with Vix. Always a drama around every corner.
0:38:35 > 0:38:39You'll find that out for yourself. Well, if it lasts.
0:38:39 > 0:38:40BELL RINGS
0:38:45 > 0:38:47Look, I know I've been defending her, but that
0:38:47 > 0:38:51was before I found out she was sabotaging my Resilience programme.
0:38:51 > 0:38:54Can't help thinking you've only got yourself to blame there.
0:38:54 > 0:38:55SHE CHUCKLES
0:38:55 > 0:38:57Gabriella's father said her last school
0:38:57 > 0:38:59blew her discipline issues out of proportion.
0:38:59 > 0:39:01I'm going to do a bit more digging.
0:39:03 > 0:39:05I like your necklace.
0:39:06 > 0:39:09Present from Daddy. It's from New York.
0:39:10 > 0:39:11He was there on business.
0:39:13 > 0:39:14Quiet, you two.
0:39:19 > 0:39:20(How much were it?)
0:39:21 > 0:39:22(Who cares?)
0:39:25 > 0:39:28OK, you lot, you can go to your classes. Not you, Miss Wark.
0:39:28 > 0:39:31- Can you keep an eye on her a bit longer?- With pleasure.
0:39:36 > 0:39:39Gabriella had behavioural issues at her last school -
0:39:39 > 0:39:41skipping classes, discipline problems, the lot.
0:39:41 > 0:39:44The head there said she only attended for five months,
0:39:44 > 0:39:46so I tried her previous school to that, and...
0:39:46 > 0:39:48Let me guess - same thing?
0:39:48 > 0:39:51Yes. But it gets worse.
0:39:51 > 0:39:53She was expelled for stalking a teacher.
0:39:55 > 0:39:58Sonya? Get the Warks back in here please?
0:39:59 > 0:40:01LAUGHTER
0:40:01 > 0:40:02All right, settle down!
0:40:05 > 0:40:07Shaznay, have you got something to say?
0:40:07 > 0:40:09No, miss.
0:40:09 > 0:40:12Then could you please focus?
0:40:12 > 0:40:15Sorry, we didn't mean nothing.
0:40:15 > 0:40:17Lesbi friends?
0:40:21 > 0:40:24If you have something to say, I'd rather you just came out and said it.
0:40:24 > 0:40:26What, like you did earlier on?
0:40:29 > 0:40:31Right... SHE SIGHS
0:40:35 > 0:40:37Does it bother any of you
0:40:37 > 0:40:39who I spend my personal life with, male or female?
0:40:45 > 0:40:47Does it make me any more or less of a decent teacher?
0:40:49 > 0:40:51- No.- No.- No.
0:40:53 > 0:40:55Then you're just making conversation, and it's nice,
0:40:55 > 0:40:58but we've got a lesson to be getting on with.
0:40:58 > 0:41:02All right, the use of metaphors in everyday language...
0:41:03 > 0:41:06That woman was a bit out of your league though, weren't she, miss?
0:41:06 > 0:41:08I won't tell you again, Shaznay.
0:41:18 > 0:41:20Did you get it all done?
0:41:20 > 0:41:22Look, I'm not sure about this.
0:41:22 > 0:41:26You need to man up... and do something drastic!
0:41:28 > 0:41:29- For the missus. - Where did you get that?!
0:41:29 > 0:41:32Nabbed it from Dynasty's locker.
0:41:32 > 0:41:35What can I say? She's an adventurous girl.
0:41:39 > 0:41:41- Grab my bag.- Right.- We good?- Yeah.
0:41:52 > 0:41:54I've been looking that new girl's family up online.
0:41:54 > 0:41:57- They've got a fashion business worth millions!- So?
0:41:57 > 0:42:00- I've never had a well rich friend before.- Friends now, are we?
0:42:00 > 0:42:02- Snobbery works two ways, you know! - What's wrong?
0:42:06 > 0:42:09I shouldn't have overreacted. He's going to leave me, I know it.
0:42:11 > 0:42:12If it doesn't feel right, you don't
0:42:12 > 0:42:14have to go through with it, you know.
0:42:14 > 0:42:18- And then what, I lose Imogen? - No, I didn't mean this, tonight.
0:42:18 > 0:42:20Well, what?
0:42:20 > 0:42:24You could knock the whole idea on the head, forget the interview.
0:42:25 > 0:42:27But you were the one banging on
0:42:27 > 0:42:30- about how much of a great opportunity it is!- And I meant it.
0:42:30 > 0:42:34All I'm saying is, Connor, if you didn't want to go through with it,
0:42:34 > 0:42:37and you wanted to stay here, it wouldn't be the end of the world.
0:42:37 > 0:42:39I wouldn't think any less of you.
0:42:39 > 0:42:41And it's not like your life would be over.
0:42:41 > 0:42:43You'd still have Imogen, and your mum.
0:42:43 > 0:42:46- And your mates.- Yeah, sure.
0:42:46 > 0:42:48And if I got the job and moved to London,
0:42:48 > 0:42:50it's not like I'm going to forget everyone here, is it?
0:42:50 > 0:42:54- Yeah, of course.- And mates - good mates - they're important too.
0:42:54 > 0:42:57- Yeah, all right, I get it. - Good.
0:42:57 > 0:42:58Imogen's not going to know what's hit her!
0:42:58 > 0:43:01And I can't believe...you have this.
0:43:01 > 0:43:02Naughty.
0:43:10 > 0:43:12Not even one full day, and this, again!
0:43:12 > 0:43:14I have a conference call at five.
0:43:16 > 0:43:18Did it slip your mind to mention the main reason Gabriella
0:43:18 > 0:43:21was expelled from her previous schools?
0:43:21 > 0:43:25We didn't think it was important. Anyway, you never asked.
0:43:25 > 0:43:26Oh, so you lied by omission?
0:43:26 > 0:43:29We were hoping this place would be a new start.
0:43:29 > 0:43:31I can see that was a mistake.
0:43:31 > 0:43:33Clearly the male teachers here are as happy
0:43:33 > 0:43:35to lead her on as the ones at her previous schools.
0:43:35 > 0:43:37You're not suggesting this is our fault?
0:43:37 > 0:43:40Even putting her behaviour with Mr Reid aside,
0:43:40 > 0:43:42she has stirred up all manner of trouble today.
0:43:42 > 0:43:45Which I'd hoped a school like this would be more than able to handle.
0:43:45 > 0:43:47We're not a juvenile reform centre, Mr Wark
0:43:48 > 0:43:49I'm sorry, but Waterloo Road
0:43:49 > 0:43:51simply isn't equipped to deal with Gabriella.
0:43:51 > 0:43:53Please, don't give up on her.
0:43:55 > 0:43:57Surely she deserves another chance?
0:43:58 > 0:44:01A bit of disruption, a little flirting -
0:44:01 > 0:44:02it's hardly the end of the world, is it?
0:44:02 > 0:44:04No, no, there's more than that.
0:44:04 > 0:44:06During one of our lessons this morning,
0:44:06 > 0:44:09she tried to steal a truck and leave school premises.
0:44:09 > 0:44:12Luckily, Mr Reid stopped her, there could have been a nasty accident.
0:44:12 > 0:44:14Will you never learn?
0:44:17 > 0:44:18Mr Wark!
0:44:22 > 0:44:23Gabriella...
0:44:25 > 0:44:28..wait outside, please. Sonya will look after you.
0:44:34 > 0:44:36- I should call the police. - Don't be so ridiculous!
0:44:36 > 0:44:39When an assault takes place on school premises...
0:44:39 > 0:44:41Let's just take her home. There are other schools.
0:44:41 > 0:44:43It's going to happen again and again,
0:44:43 > 0:44:45can't you see that, you stupid woman?
0:44:45 > 0:44:49He's not usually like this, it was the shock of hearing what Gabriella did...
0:44:49 > 0:44:52- Shut up, Amelia! - She has a right to know!
0:44:54 > 0:44:56I want to show you something.
0:45:06 > 0:45:08Is that Gabriella?
0:45:08 > 0:45:09No, it's her sister, Florence.
0:45:11 > 0:45:13She was only seven when it happened.
0:45:14 > 0:45:16A traffic accident.
0:45:18 > 0:45:19She was killed instantly.
0:45:22 > 0:45:24I'm so sorry.
0:45:28 > 0:45:30I really don't think you should listen in.
0:45:30 > 0:45:34They were waiting for Vincent to collect them from school.
0:45:34 > 0:45:37- He was running a little late... - A few minutes.
0:45:37 > 0:45:40Instead of waiting, Gabriella insisted on getting the bus.
0:45:42 > 0:45:43As they got off...
0:45:43 > 0:45:45Florence was hit by a car.
0:45:50 > 0:45:51Gabriella's never forgiven herself...
0:45:51 > 0:45:56Yes, I have! I forgave myself years ago.
0:45:56 > 0:45:58I'm so sorry, she just...
0:45:58 > 0:46:01The only person who hasn't forgive me is you, Daddy!
0:46:02 > 0:46:04- Go outside, please, Gabriella.- Why?
0:46:05 > 0:46:07So they can tell more lies about me?
0:46:10 > 0:46:13They have never stopped blaming me.
0:46:14 > 0:46:16It's not like they're even hostile.
0:46:18 > 0:46:19Just indifferent.
0:46:21 > 0:46:22It's like I don't exist.
0:46:25 > 0:46:27The accident wasn't even my fault.
0:46:30 > 0:46:32If he hadn't been working on his day off...
0:46:35 > 0:46:38He blames me because it's easier than blaming himself.
0:46:46 > 0:46:47Jammy ginger?
0:46:50 > 0:46:53Give me one good reason why I shouldn't call the police
0:46:53 > 0:46:56- and social services? - Please, Mrs Mulgrew.
0:46:56 > 0:47:00We try to be patient with Gabriella but, well, she's difficult.
0:47:01 > 0:47:03I'm sorry.
0:47:04 > 0:47:07- TEARFUL:- I have never struck Gabriella before.
0:47:08 > 0:47:14It's just I can't stand it! She pushes me and pushes me...
0:47:14 > 0:47:16Vincent. Please, not here.
0:47:19 > 0:47:21Have you ever considered family counselling?
0:47:23 > 0:47:26I'm not having some do-gooder poking their nose in.
0:47:26 > 0:47:27Counselling's not for us.
0:47:27 > 0:47:31Counselling isn't just for disadvantaged families, Mrs Wark.
0:47:31 > 0:47:33Dysfunctional families come in all shapes and sizes.
0:47:36 > 0:47:38You need to sort out these problems,
0:47:38 > 0:47:42and Waterloo Road is a good school, Mr Wark, but we can't fix this alone.
0:47:42 > 0:47:46Gabriella is going to need a lot of help, and we need to work together -
0:47:46 > 0:47:47school and family.
0:47:49 > 0:47:50Will you work with us?
0:47:52 > 0:47:54I'll apologise to Gabriella.
0:47:56 > 0:47:57I'll make it up to her.
0:48:00 > 0:48:01Thank you, Sonya.
0:48:12 > 0:48:14MRS MULGREW SIGHS
0:48:14 > 0:48:16Hell of a first day, eh?
0:48:16 > 0:48:17I suppose.
0:48:18 > 0:48:21Staying at Waterloo Road, or not, is your choice.
0:48:23 > 0:48:26I would like you to give us a chance. Show you what we can do.
0:48:26 > 0:48:29We're not as posh as your other schools,
0:48:29 > 0:48:32and there are a lot of people here with big issues to deal with.
0:48:34 > 0:48:40We just try and rub along. Make friends. Help each other out.
0:48:43 > 0:48:47Waterloo Road isn't perfect, but most of the time it...works.
0:48:49 > 0:48:52So, Gabriella...
0:48:52 > 0:48:53are you in?
0:48:56 > 0:48:57BELL RINGS
0:49:01 > 0:49:03SEAGULLS CAW
0:49:04 > 0:49:06Here.
0:49:06 > 0:49:08Wow. What's this for?
0:49:08 > 0:49:11It's a thank you for being my only friend today.
0:49:11 > 0:49:15I'm sorry about snogging your boyfriend.
0:49:15 > 0:49:16And for being a bitch.
0:49:21 > 0:49:24Told you she were all right. See you later.
0:49:24 > 0:49:27Don't know about you guys, but I could do with a drink.
0:49:27 > 0:49:30- I'm in! Anchors, in town? - Will that be a soft drink?
0:49:30 > 0:49:34Don't worry, be leaving this bad boy at the pub.
0:49:34 > 0:49:37I'll give you a backie in exchange for directions.
0:49:37 > 0:49:39I've got my own transport, thanks.
0:49:39 > 0:49:40CAR UNLOCKS
0:49:40 > 0:49:46- I haven't! Shall we? - My pleasure.
0:49:46 > 0:49:48- Good.- Ooh!
0:49:51 > 0:49:52Ooh!
0:49:55 > 0:49:59Thank you. For giving her another chance.
0:49:59 > 0:50:01We don't pass on difficult situations at this school.
0:50:03 > 0:50:06And now I know where the problems stem from,
0:50:06 > 0:50:08we can make a start at addressing them.
0:50:09 > 0:50:13The past few years have been very hard, for all of us.
0:50:18 > 0:50:20See you tomorrow, Gabriella.
0:50:28 > 0:50:31Come on. In you get.
0:50:31 > 0:50:34- I'd rather walk. - Please, Gabriella, not now.
0:50:35 > 0:50:38I need to be alone for a while.
0:50:38 > 0:50:39It's fine.
0:50:40 > 0:50:41Look.
0:50:44 > 0:50:46Make sure you get a cab home safely.
0:50:46 > 0:50:47I'm hardly going to take the bus, am I?
0:50:50 > 0:50:52What are you going to do?
0:50:52 > 0:50:56Can't bear the bad news yet. Can I come round your place?
0:50:56 > 0:51:00- Eh, no, you have to go to Connor's. - Why, what's he said to you?
0:51:01 > 0:51:03Nothing.
0:51:03 > 0:51:05I can't believe he spoke to you first!
0:51:05 > 0:51:09I'm his wife, I shouldn't be hearing stuff from someone else.
0:51:09 > 0:51:11- Now look what you've done! - Eh?!
0:51:11 > 0:51:13Babes, wait!
0:51:14 > 0:51:15No, you can't go round!
0:51:20 > 0:51:22Now that was a long first day back.
0:51:23 > 0:51:25Tell me about it.
0:51:25 > 0:51:27You sure you're doing the right thing,
0:51:27 > 0:51:29giving Gabriella another chance?
0:51:30 > 0:51:34Are you questioning my authority, Mr Lowsley?
0:51:34 > 0:51:35I wouldn't dream of it, Mrs Mulgrew.
0:51:37 > 0:51:40A kid that mixed up though, it's going to be hard work.
0:51:40 > 0:51:42Which makes her the perfect candidate
0:51:42 > 0:51:44for some Resilience Education.
0:51:44 > 0:51:47Surely an expert like you has a few ideas on how to transform her?
0:51:49 > 0:51:51But in the meantime, we'll try good old-fashioned
0:51:51 > 0:51:52patience and understanding.
0:51:54 > 0:51:56Come to the pub.
0:51:56 > 0:51:58Me and Hector can fill you in on our plans for the term.
0:51:58 > 0:52:02I can't tonight. There's something important I have to do.
0:52:03 > 0:52:04Another time though?
0:52:38 > 0:52:41- Good day at the office, dear? - Uh, let me see -
0:52:41 > 0:52:43smoke bombs in assembly,
0:52:43 > 0:52:47teenage girls flashing the teachers, barking mad parents...
0:52:47 > 0:52:50- I'd say pretty average really. - You love it.
0:52:50 > 0:52:51Just don't tell anyone.
0:52:52 > 0:52:55Didn't fancy the pub with Mr Lousy then?
0:52:56 > 0:52:59I'm free, if you fancy doing something else?
0:53:00 > 0:53:02Thanks, but I'm going home.
0:53:03 > 0:53:05I've been so wrapped up with this place
0:53:05 > 0:53:08I've hardly seen Connor. This is a big year for him,
0:53:08 > 0:53:11and dealing with the Warks today was a bit of a wake-up call.
0:53:11 > 0:53:13Connor has to know I'm there if he needs me.
0:53:13 > 0:53:16Christine, please, stop, I'm welling up.
0:53:16 > 0:53:18Oh, shut up, George. See you tomorrow.
0:53:23 > 0:53:26- Connor?- In here.
0:53:26 > 0:53:29"The Boy Does Nothing" by Alesha Dixon plays
0:53:31 > 0:53:33What's all this?
0:53:34 > 0:53:36Afternoon tea. With a twist.
0:53:39 > 0:53:42- Oh, no!- Oh, mate, you should have consulted on the apron.
0:53:51 > 0:53:53I never meant to embarrass you.
0:53:53 > 0:53:55I suppose it's not that big a deal.
0:53:55 > 0:53:57I just wish you'd picked your timing better -
0:53:57 > 0:53:59nobody's talking about my wedding any more.
0:54:14 > 0:54:16You still talking to me?
0:54:20 > 0:54:24I don't blame you for kicking off. What I did was pretty out there.
0:54:24 > 0:54:27Maybe, but...
0:54:27 > 0:54:29I think it was the kick up the backside I needed.
0:54:31 > 0:54:34And...there's something I forgot to say earlier.
0:54:39 > 0:54:40I love you too.
0:54:47 > 0:54:49Now that's something I wasn't expecting.
0:54:49 > 0:54:51You didn't know?
0:54:51 > 0:54:53You must be the only person in school today
0:54:53 > 0:54:55who didn't hear about their earlier antics.
0:54:55 > 0:54:58This isn't the main show, this is, like, the encore. Isn't it, Sue?
0:55:01 > 0:55:02All right, boys.
0:55:07 > 0:55:10- SONYA:- Oh, it was funny, it really was.
0:55:10 > 0:55:13Honestly, I didn't know where to put meself.
0:55:22 > 0:55:24Mmm, this is dead tasty!
0:55:24 > 0:55:25So's the chef.
0:55:25 > 0:55:28- I don't know, without the apron, I'm not really feeling it.- OK, OK!
0:55:28 > 0:55:30It could have been worse,
0:55:30 > 0:55:32at one point I was thinking of just wearing the hat.
0:55:32 > 0:55:34You and me, mate, we need to have a serious chat.
0:55:34 > 0:55:37- It was you that got me into this! Remember?- Yeah.
0:55:37 > 0:55:40- Kevin!- Can't believe you did all this for me. I thought...
0:55:40 > 0:55:42What?
0:55:43 > 0:55:45Doesn't matter.
0:55:45 > 0:55:48If I get the job, nothing's going to change between me and you.
0:55:48 > 0:55:50Wish I could be sure of that.
0:55:51 > 0:55:53We're married. Don't know about you,
0:55:53 > 0:55:55but when I took my vows, I took them seriously.
0:55:55 > 0:55:59Me too. It's not going to stop me missing you like mad though, is it?
0:56:02 > 0:56:04Wasn't expecting you back so early.
0:56:05 > 0:56:09Clearly. Have I gate-crashed a party?
0:56:09 > 0:56:12Connor was trying out a few new dishes. He's had some interest...
0:56:12 > 0:56:13From people at school.
0:56:15 > 0:56:18- Is that what you wanted to talk to me about earlier?- Yeah.
0:56:21 > 0:56:24- Sorry I was so abrupt with you. - It doesn't matter.
0:56:24 > 0:56:25No, it does.
0:56:26 > 0:56:28Next time you come and see me, I'll make time for you.
0:56:28 > 0:56:32I want to be a proper mum you can be proud of - at home and at work.
0:56:37 > 0:56:38What's that?
0:56:39 > 0:56:42Try some of the creme brulee Connor made, it's lovely.
0:56:43 > 0:56:44That's a good idea.
0:56:46 > 0:56:49You thought that you would use a bit of fruitful interaction technique
0:56:49 > 0:56:51on a certain Miss Boston?
0:56:53 > 0:56:56Shame her interests lie elsewhere!
0:56:56 > 0:56:58Our Nikki, I'll win her round.
0:56:58 > 0:57:00I've seen the way she looks at me.
0:57:01 > 0:57:04She's halfway there already.
0:57:04 > 0:57:06- Thank you. - Don't lose it.
0:57:06 > 0:57:08I'll download a copy when I get a minute.
0:57:08 > 0:57:10What is it with all this downloading?
0:57:52 > 0:57:55I'm going through a bit of a bad patch at the moment,
0:57:55 > 0:57:57and my Dynasty, she's really suffering.
0:57:57 > 0:57:59Have you ever worked in a kitchen?
0:57:59 > 0:58:01- Mum?!- Dynasty!
0:58:01 > 0:58:03You aren't seriously working here?
0:58:03 > 0:58:05I may as well give you this too.
0:58:06 > 0:58:07What, now?
0:58:07 > 0:58:09Have you heard of the chef Cookie Davis?
0:58:09 > 0:58:12I've been offered a job... in her kitchen.
0:58:12 > 0:58:15- She's got a restaurant in Glasgow? - No. London.
0:58:15 > 0:58:18Don't you ever wish you could just press pause,
0:58:18 > 0:58:20and things would stay as they are?
