0:00:04 > 0:00:09Ballysally, built 40 years ago on the edge of Coleraine.
0:00:10 > 0:00:13These days, almost 3,000 people call it home.
0:00:14 > 0:00:19But unemployment is rife and money is tight.
0:00:19 > 0:00:25This is the story of a year on the estate.
0:00:25 > 0:00:29This programme contains strong language.
0:00:29 > 0:00:36This programme contains some scenes which some viewers may find upsetting.
0:00:46 > 0:00:50# Jesus loves me this I know. #
0:00:50 > 0:00:53Unemployed joiner Noel has started up a band.
0:00:56 > 0:01:00- What about you, lad? We got her done up.- That's lovely!
0:01:00 > 0:01:04- We need to get you a flute and a uniform.- Aye, I know!
0:01:04 > 0:01:07You should be fluting with us, anyway.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09You should be fluting with us!
0:01:09 > 0:01:13Noel's keen to recruit as many people as he can on the estate.
0:01:13 > 0:01:17The housing estate, for the ages of 14 to 20,
0:01:17 > 0:01:20there's not a wild lot in it for them.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23So it gives them a lot to...
0:01:23 > 0:01:28gives them something to do a couple of nights a week, like.
0:01:28 > 0:01:32Couple of head-the-balls in it, like.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35The latest addition to his line-up is 23-year-old Kyle.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38Are you up, chap?
0:01:38 > 0:01:41Come on out to fuck, Kyle! Get your knickers on!
0:01:48 > 0:01:52That took us a lot of money to gather that up, like.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54- It was just a white drum. - It was just a white drum.
0:01:54 > 0:01:58Nobody knew half the time what band we were in.
0:01:58 > 0:02:02Now we have gathered money up...
0:02:02 > 0:02:04Put our stamp on it.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07Put our stamp on it, like. Everyone will know who we are, like,
0:02:07 > 0:02:10and they'll see that we're improving every year.
0:02:11 > 0:02:15There was never nothing to do and then started the band
0:02:15 > 0:02:18and...it give you something to do in the week then,
0:02:18 > 0:02:22give you something to look forward to, rather than just drink.
0:02:22 > 0:02:23I can party along with them.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25They know I can party along with them.
0:02:25 > 0:02:29I like the parties as well. So that's probably why I fit in with them.
0:02:29 > 0:02:33Right, Kyle, fuck off to the bathroom.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35Go you and wank over the drum, sure!
0:02:35 > 0:02:37THEY LAUGH
0:02:37 > 0:02:40Just walking about the housing estate showing off this drum.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43- Right, come on. - See you later on sure!
0:02:50 > 0:02:52I can help. I'm strong.
0:02:53 > 0:02:58- Which way do you want to put it? This way?- No, no.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00SHE WHISPERS:
0:03:01 > 0:03:04Any way you want!
0:03:04 > 0:03:06So, like, firm.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12Single mum Louise is waiting on a delivery.
0:03:12 > 0:03:16A local church is giving her some second-hand furniture.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18He is a steamer, like.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20The delivery has stirred an interest
0:03:20 > 0:03:23in Louise's 15-year-old daughter Kelly-Ann.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25There! Look, look!
0:03:28 > 0:03:31But it's not the sofa she has her eye on.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35Shh!
0:03:35 > 0:03:37Which room is the wardrobe for?
0:03:37 > 0:03:39The back one, please.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41- Are you checking the boy out? - No, I am not!
0:03:44 > 0:03:46So is Rachel.
0:03:46 > 0:03:50Oh, fuck! I burnt myself.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53I was getting too carried away.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59Thank fuck I came round when I did!
0:03:59 > 0:04:02God, imagine, I could be missing it all right now.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06- Upstairs?- Aye.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08GIGGLES FROM LOUNGE
0:04:11 > 0:04:16- You happy with that? - You're like Joey out of friends.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19You'll fall out of the window! You'll fall!
0:04:19 > 0:04:21Thank you very much, all the best.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24I'm just going to offer you a prayer before we go, OK?
0:04:24 > 0:04:25Yes, yes.
0:04:25 > 0:04:29Father, I pray you bless this home. Bless these kids.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32Your blessing is fortunately received, Lord,
0:04:32 > 0:04:35and guide this family, Lord. Keep your hand upon them.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37- In Jesus' name. Amen.- Amen.- OK?
0:04:37 > 0:04:39There you are, some leaflets for you.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42- That's great. Thank you. - Thank you. Bye.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48He was nice, wasn't he?
0:04:49 > 0:04:53- Give me that! Give me it! - How much have you got?
0:04:53 > 0:04:56Rachel, come on, quickly.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02Did you see that boy?
0:05:03 > 0:05:07- Och, it's too wee! - It's not, it's comfy.
0:05:19 > 0:05:24Come on over here. Come on. This way. Come away. That's not yours.
0:05:24 > 0:05:29Emma and daughter Shaya are relative newcomers to the estate.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32This is only the second time I've been up here.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35It's not the best-kept park in the world and it's the only one here
0:05:35 > 0:05:38and I live, like, over the other side.
0:05:38 > 0:05:43It's not anything I would come to cos this is the top part of Ballysally,
0:05:43 > 0:05:48so, I don't know...just the way it's stereotyped and stuff,
0:05:48 > 0:05:51I would just tend not to come up here.
0:05:51 > 0:05:56You know, it looks better kept than where I live, though.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58New walls and driveways and everything.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01Shaya, get off the ground, please. You're in cream pants!
0:06:01 > 0:06:03Oh, no, she's all the way over there!
0:06:03 > 0:06:05How's that for good supervision skills!
0:06:05 > 0:06:09- No!- OK.- No!
0:06:09 > 0:06:13- No, Mummy!- Let's go, pet. Come on.
0:06:13 > 0:06:18- You don't want to go play?- No! - Do you want to go see Tony?
0:06:18 > 0:06:20- No!- Temper, Temper!
0:06:20 > 0:06:24Emma returned from Canada when her marriage to Shaya's dad broke down.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27Oh! Look, you're going to go play!
0:06:27 > 0:06:30To get on the waiting list for her own council house,
0:06:30 > 0:06:33her only option was to move into temporary emergency housing.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37I was in that one.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39The curtains are like hospital curtains,
0:06:39 > 0:06:41like plastic and stuff - horrible!
0:06:41 > 0:06:44And they're £165 a week!
0:06:44 > 0:06:48That's insane money! Like, my rent right now is £67 a week.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51So that's a huge difference, like.
0:06:51 > 0:06:52Do you know the worst thing about it?
0:06:52 > 0:06:55See the row of houses behind it? It's all burnt out too.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58It makes you feel like you're living in a right ghetto, like.
0:06:58 > 0:07:02I was there five months. Long enough. Too long!
0:07:26 > 0:07:30- Kyle, that's not the way I iron. - I know. I can't fucking iron them!
0:07:34 > 0:07:37Kyle's not long moved out of his mum and dad's
0:07:37 > 0:07:40but Josie and Rab fret about him nonetheless.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43That eejit there just totally ignores you.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46You say to him not to do a thing, he'll do it.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48I would like him to get a job and get out to work
0:07:48 > 0:07:52and then he wouldn't be sitting about doing nothing.
0:07:52 > 0:07:56Kyle's been out of work for three years.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59With little to fill his time, partying is a routine diversion.
0:07:59 > 0:08:03Just like me drink. That keeps me sane.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06Oh, aye!
0:08:06 > 0:08:08He learns by his mistakes.
0:08:08 > 0:08:12Mother's job to worry, father's job to gurn.
0:08:13 > 0:08:17No matter what age you are, mothers always worry and stand by yous.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21Kyle has struggled with self-harm.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24He's also attempted suicide ten times
0:08:24 > 0:08:27but the band has been a lifeline.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30Since he joined, his mum and dad have noticed
0:08:30 > 0:08:33Noel's positive influence.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36That band has really brought Kyle out of his depression.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39All the boys in the band get on like a big family.
0:08:39 > 0:08:43If there's something not right, they'll come and talk to them.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45Noel talks to Kyle a brave lot there.
0:08:45 > 0:08:49Kyle'll actually tell Noel more than he'd tell me and his mother.
0:08:49 > 0:08:50That's what helps -
0:08:50 > 0:08:53the talking, getting rid of what's built up inside them.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55They're getting it out and away,
0:08:55 > 0:08:58rather than having to cut themselves or try and hang themselves.
0:08:58 > 0:09:02So definitely the band has been a big lift to Kyle
0:09:02 > 0:09:05that I'm glad to see and I hope he sticks at it.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08There you are, sir, that's your uniform done.
0:09:08 > 0:09:12- Cheers, mother.- Watch and learn? - No. You'll do it next week too.
0:09:14 > 0:09:20If we can just keep him off that vodka, he would be grand.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25Sure, you learn from your mistakes.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37I'm going to go in there and do the die-hard sell, you know?
0:09:37 > 0:09:40I really want this job, you have to give it to me!
0:09:40 > 0:09:41I really want to do it.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44Emma is steeling herself for an interview.
0:09:44 > 0:09:49She's applied for a university degree course in social work.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52Until I hear, it's going to be like torture.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54I'll be eating like a hound dog,
0:09:54 > 0:09:58chocolate and everything, cos I'm a nervous eater!
0:10:01 > 0:10:04But, hopefully, it'll be fine. I've put the work in.
0:10:04 > 0:10:08I've practised my questions and answers.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10I think I'm good for this job.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13You know, I know it's going to be hard and tough and heartbreaking
0:10:13 > 0:10:16but I want to do social work. I really do.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18I want to be not the person sitting reading the newspaper,
0:10:18 > 0:10:22you know, reading those cases about those abused kids and things.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25I want to be on the other end doing something about it
0:10:25 > 0:10:28so there's less cases in the newspaper, hopefully, because of me.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45That's me all tidied, ready to go.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48It's band practice night at the local pub.
0:10:49 > 0:10:53Well, Finlay, babe, it's only band practice you're going to tonight,
0:10:53 > 0:10:54look at all the slap on!
0:10:54 > 0:10:56Finlay's not bad at fluting.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59She gets enough practice at the weekends on the skin whistle!
0:10:59 > 0:11:02- You're a dirty bastard! - I never mentioned anything about it!
0:11:02 > 0:11:07Aye! You did not have to! You didn't have to.
0:11:07 > 0:11:11- I just said you're a good fluter. - Aye, and then what was that...?
0:11:13 > 0:11:16Noel is one of the lads... most of the time
0:11:16 > 0:11:20but it's a different story when it comes to rehearsals.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22See the pint?
0:11:22 > 0:11:24You better get that in you before you come in here
0:11:24 > 0:11:27- because there'll be a row when you come in here with it.- Why?
0:11:27 > 0:11:28It's band practice, not drink.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31So you can leave it out there if you want
0:11:31 > 0:11:34- but if you bring it in it's going in the sink.- Down your throat?
0:11:34 > 0:11:37Band practice.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40The band's big day is the 12th of July.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44Right, let's go!
0:11:44 > 0:11:47But Noel needs Kyle and the others
0:11:47 > 0:11:50to cut out the partying if it's to be a success.
0:11:50 > 0:11:54Right, we're going to concentrate half-an-hour on these two tunes.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57We want to try and look like a band, know what I mean?
0:11:57 > 0:12:01And now with our new uniforms, we'll look all right.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03WHISTLE SOUNDS!
0:12:03 > 0:12:07You were told about the whistle. Start listening to the whistle.
0:12:07 > 0:12:11Does everyone know the tunes that we are playing
0:12:11 > 0:12:14- before we play the new ones? - I can play the rest.
0:12:14 > 0:12:15Everybody can play them?
0:12:17 > 0:12:21- That's cos you're useless. - Nobody was asking you!
0:12:21 > 0:12:24There you are, then. Things have to start looking like a band.
0:12:24 > 0:12:28Folk have to listen to the whistle and then we're going the right road.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31I want yous to start and put an effort in,
0:12:31 > 0:12:33the way I put the effort in.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49Emma's interview is over.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52All the questions that they asked me, I'd practised.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55So, I don't know. I hate waiting now!
0:12:55 > 0:12:57See now, I want to just know.
0:12:57 > 0:12:58But I said thanks and all.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01I said, "Thanks for letting me get to the interview stage.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03"I'm happy to have got this far."
0:13:03 > 0:13:08But, um...I don't know! I don't know. I really don't know!
0:13:08 > 0:13:10Even if she's offered a place on the course,
0:13:10 > 0:13:15Emma still needs to pass her exams to get in.
0:13:26 > 0:13:30- What?- What's mummy at? - She's downstairs.
0:13:30 > 0:13:31OK.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36Kelly-Ann is recovering from partying with mum Louise.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39Their night out has left its mark.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45Love bites on my neck and they're fucking sore.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47Love bites.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49I was fucked, had to lie down.
0:13:49 > 0:13:54Came home at, like, five in the morning or something.
0:13:54 > 0:13:58So...but I was drinking as well.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01I don't care.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06Right! Does anybody need the toilet before I go for a bath?
0:14:11 > 0:14:14- 'Elly!- What?- Me off taps.
0:14:14 > 0:14:18Did you turn them off? Thanks.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22Jordy, don't be coming in here.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26Bye!
0:14:32 > 0:14:33You're a bollocks!
0:14:33 > 0:14:37Just, you were to call down here today. I wanted to see you.
0:14:40 > 0:14:44What time do you call later?
0:14:45 > 0:14:48Now, you're getting a fucking bollocking then.
0:14:50 > 0:14:51Right. Bye.
0:14:54 > 0:14:58I don't like them running about, acting the maggot.
0:14:58 > 0:15:02One of the band members is in trouble with the police...
0:15:02 > 0:15:04and with Noel.
0:15:04 > 0:15:05Well, knob-head!
0:15:05 > 0:15:06What did the police do you on?
0:15:06 > 0:15:10- Attempted theft of a car. - Attempted theft?- Aye.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13- When are you up in court? Have they charged you?- No.
0:15:13 > 0:15:17I'll tell you why you done what you done.
0:15:17 > 0:15:22You needed more alcohol in your system and greed set in.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25All you have in your head is more beer.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28Then get fucking caught stealing a motor.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30I thought, maybe, when you got into the band
0:15:30 > 0:15:33you'd behave and have a bit of craic with the rest of us.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35Byron's applied for the army
0:15:35 > 0:15:39and Noel's worried he's jeopardised his chances.
0:15:39 > 0:15:43Folks trying to do things for him and then he fucks the whole thing up!
0:15:43 > 0:15:45The band's like an army, you've certain rules.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48You let me down all the time. I'm not worried.
0:15:48 > 0:15:52But it's your job, it's going to be a career for you.
0:16:02 > 0:16:06The results of Emma's university interview are in.
0:16:06 > 0:16:11"Something changed on your UCAS application form. Please check." It doesn't tell you what it is.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13I was debating whether to check it or not,
0:16:13 > 0:16:16or to get someone else to check it for me and let me know.
0:16:16 > 0:16:20I don't know. Knowing you haven't got in is pretty definite.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22There isn't much you can do about it.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26Ah! I see it!
0:16:26 > 0:16:29It says, "Ulster University of Magee!"
0:16:29 > 0:16:30I have a conditional offer.
0:16:32 > 0:16:36If everything they say in my sociology class is true,
0:16:36 > 0:16:40this means Shaya will never be living on income support.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42I guess as a role model,
0:16:42 > 0:16:45like you know they do all their research things and they say,
0:16:45 > 0:16:48if the parents are middle class, the kids will be middle class.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51And of course every parent doesn't want their kids
0:16:51 > 0:16:53to struggle the way they did
0:16:53 > 0:16:58and I hope she doesn't end up alone with a kid on income support as well.
0:16:58 > 0:16:59That's all I want.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02I want to be able to provide for my daughter on my own.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06I definitely do.
0:17:06 > 0:17:11So now she's got to knuckle down and pass her exams.
0:17:11 > 0:17:15"This offer is subject to you obtaining a pass on the access course
0:17:15 > 0:17:16"with an average of 70%."
0:17:16 > 0:17:18Awesome!
0:17:18 > 0:17:20I'm just really excited.
0:17:20 > 0:17:2170% is not that much to get.
0:17:21 > 0:17:25I can do it. I totally can! I totally can.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27It's awesome.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47Right, come on.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50OK. See yous later.
0:17:50 > 0:17:54We'll be back for our dinner. Get the chicken out of the oven.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03Noel has enlisted the band
0:18:03 > 0:18:06to help him build the estate's annual bonfire.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12Put it on square, boy.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14Cone on, young Brown, do something for your keep!
0:18:14 > 0:18:16What do you want me to do?
0:18:16 > 0:18:18But some of the young musicians,
0:18:18 > 0:18:22including Kyle and Noel's son Aaron, have gone AWOL.
0:18:23 > 0:18:27What's the bets that none of these boys is up?
0:18:27 > 0:18:30Late night last night.
0:18:30 > 0:18:31No, he's up.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34There's something wrong.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37VOICES FROM HOUSE
0:18:37 > 0:18:40Right, lads, is this where it's takin' place at?
0:18:40 > 0:18:43- All right, Noel? - Why do you not answer your phone?
0:18:44 > 0:18:48# Noel is the captain of our ship Of our ship
0:18:48 > 0:18:50# Our ship is a tanker
0:18:50 > 0:18:52# And Noel is a wanker
0:18:52 > 0:18:56# Noel is the captain of our ship Of our ship! #
0:18:56 > 0:18:58- Hi, give me that.- Fuck off!
0:18:58 > 0:19:01That's my leftovers from last night. It was only up to there.
0:19:01 > 0:19:03I only had one glass.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06See the day? That's it. No more.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08Nah, we're flat. That's us.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11- We're flat the day. - We haven't slept, we haven't slept.
0:19:11 > 0:19:15I'm not worrying. Look, he doesn't know what day of the week it is!
0:19:15 > 0:19:16Your da says you're a ball-bag.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18You didn't tell him I was drinking, did you?
0:19:18 > 0:19:20- I told him everything! - Wanker, wanker!
0:19:22 > 0:19:27This is my baby. I'm going to make sex to this bottle.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30Why do you want to give me that?
0:19:30 > 0:19:33Do you think I'm some junkie, the way you're reaching me butts?
0:19:33 > 0:19:36Right, I'm away. Be up at 3 o'clock.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38We'll be there.
0:19:38 > 0:19:40We'll be there!
0:19:47 > 0:19:51We found these two boys down the road!
0:19:51 > 0:19:53Gather yourselves up and get on.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56Kyle and Aaron have made a late appearance...
0:19:58 > 0:20:00Get yourselves sobered up.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03..and Noel's not impressed.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08Mind, we were to start building the bonfire at 3 o'clock.
0:20:08 > 0:20:12- Mind, that was the plans?- I'll tell you to go and fuck yourself.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19- Night-night! - Right, let's get these pallets up.
0:20:22 > 0:20:26After hours of hard graft, the bonfire's built.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28Woo-hoo!
0:20:29 > 0:20:33But Noel's mind has moved on to the band's big day.
0:20:34 > 0:20:39Everyone, Kyle included, must turn up if it's to be a success.
0:20:39 > 0:20:45But with an 8am start, Noel's worried things could end in chaos.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59After the lost night out with her mum,
0:20:59 > 0:21:03Kelly-Ann is doing some serious soul searching.
0:21:03 > 0:21:07I'm really unconscious about myself. I'm not confident or anything.
0:21:07 > 0:21:11Everybody now, they're looking for skinny girls and pretty girls
0:21:11 > 0:21:14and I'm not none of that.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16Just, I don't know...
0:21:16 > 0:21:21I try to do all I can to look half decent, you know,
0:21:21 > 0:21:23to do my hair and make up and stuff
0:21:23 > 0:21:28and I still know that I can't wear nice clothes
0:21:28 > 0:21:32cos...I'm too fat and ugly
0:21:32 > 0:21:39and you're, like, you know, just not nice altogether.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43I try to put on, like, a big front
0:21:43 > 0:21:50but behind closed doors I'm just, like, nothing.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55There's just nothing.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59It just makes you really, like, depressed and down
0:21:59 > 0:22:02and it's not a nice feeling at all.
0:22:07 > 0:22:11I just feel empty. It's like there's nothing to me.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29NOEL HUMS HAPPILY
0:22:29 > 0:22:33It's the 12th of July and the band is gathering.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35How big's your eyelashes?
0:22:35 > 0:22:39Would you stop asking me? Yous ask me every time you fucking see me!
0:22:39 > 0:22:42Noel's nervous not everyone will show up.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44Where's Boydy?
0:22:44 > 0:22:47He's away to wake somebody up.
0:22:55 > 0:22:59Get out of yer bed, ye fucking waste of space, ye!
0:22:59 > 0:23:01Shut up!
0:23:02 > 0:23:04Ye dirty bastard, ye!
0:23:05 > 0:23:08Is all the drums sorted?
0:23:08 > 0:23:12The band's about to leave but Kyle's nowhere to be seen.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18- Mandy, gloves.- These?- No.
0:23:18 > 0:23:23Where's the gloves that you had? Your gloves. Them ones.
0:23:23 > 0:23:28That's my flute. Whistle.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33Key. Camera. Breathe!
0:23:36 > 0:23:40Kyle finally appears, suited and booted.
0:23:40 > 0:23:42My guts are rough.
0:23:42 > 0:23:46Despite the hangover, he's made it on time.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48I take it we're all there?
0:23:48 > 0:23:51Kyle, come one, son, we need to get away.
0:23:51 > 0:23:55We need to be away! Come on!
0:23:55 > 0:23:57Swing the door. Swing the gate. Come on.
0:23:57 > 0:23:59WHISTLE TOOTS
0:23:59 > 0:24:03Come on, lads. Let's go! You're not carrying it.
0:24:19 > 0:24:23After hours of playing and miles of marching,
0:24:23 > 0:24:25the band's back in the estate.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28What about turning around and doing it all again?
0:24:28 > 0:24:30LAUGHTER
0:24:30 > 0:24:31Drummers, about turn!
0:24:33 > 0:24:35Band dismissed!
0:24:35 > 0:24:37About time!
0:24:37 > 0:24:41It's been a triumph and Noel's invited Kyle
0:24:41 > 0:24:44and the whole band back to his house to celebrate.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47I've never known you to turn down free beer!
0:24:47 > 0:24:50- Come on, you fader!- Away to fuck! - Come on!- Come down with Scott!
0:24:50 > 0:24:52Mandy, carry me boots for me.
0:24:52 > 0:24:56Oh! Oh, that's lovely there!
0:24:56 > 0:25:01Them's stinking! I can smell them from here. They're rotten.
0:25:12 > 0:25:16If I get my 70% today, then I've gotten into my degree.
0:25:16 > 0:25:21If I haven't, then... I don't know what I'm going to do.
0:25:21 > 0:25:24It's the moment of truth for Emma.
0:25:24 > 0:25:28She's about to find out if all of her studying has paid off.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33Why are you giving me a look like that?
0:25:43 > 0:25:46I got a 75 in my coursework for Sociology
0:25:46 > 0:25:48and 80 in my exam
0:25:48 > 0:25:51and a 78 overall.
0:25:51 > 0:25:55Look at that! Fucking stoked with that.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58She's passed...with flying colours.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00Yeah, baby!
0:26:04 > 0:26:08Now I don't have to be so reserved, in case someone got bad marks.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10Feels frickin' awesome now.
0:26:10 > 0:26:15Done! And I don't have to come back ever, ever again.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20So nice to be moving forward in your life, instead of backwards.
0:26:20 > 0:26:23I used to do that circle, where you'd get a job,
0:26:23 > 0:26:26you'd work your way up and then you'd leave because of, like,
0:26:26 > 0:26:28either moving or having family
0:26:28 > 0:26:31and then when you have to go back into work again,
0:26:31 > 0:26:33you get another crappy job at minimum wage
0:26:33 > 0:26:36but now this is my route out of that.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38It's pretty cool, isn't it?
0:26:39 > 0:26:42That's pretty frickin' awesome.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45I never thought I would be going to uni, like.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48Might as well go at 29. It's better late than never, isn't it?
0:26:48 > 0:26:50I definitely can say
0:26:50 > 0:26:54I'm doing something with my life in a productive way, I really am.
0:26:54 > 0:26:57And soon we will want for nothing -
0:26:57 > 0:26:59me and my wee woman.
0:27:03 > 0:27:06Next time on The Estate...
0:27:06 > 0:27:09Control it now. Control it now. Control it!
0:27:09 > 0:27:13Oh! Well, that wasn't very well controlled!
0:27:15 > 0:27:18It sometimes takes starting off in a crappy job
0:27:18 > 0:27:19to end up getting a good one.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26Her wee body was just grey and gasping for air
0:27:26 > 0:27:28and being pumped full of morphine
0:27:28 > 0:27:30and I wouldn't recommend that to anybody.
0:27:36 > 0:27:39Yeah, tomorrow.
