00:00Are you realistic?
00:01As long as your mum...
00:03You're allowed to say it.
00:04Section.
00:05I know how difficult things have been for you and your brother.
00:07We've got each other and no one else matters.
00:09Maybe if you would just hear me sing, it's a proper low from me.
00:15Have you been drinking?
00:16I was just asking my mum how she ate perfect.
00:19But I can't give up on her when she's trying.
00:21You don't fancy going out sometime, do you?
00:23I have to go off.
00:25Hey, sorry.
00:26I'd like to introduce our new ECTs.
00:28We've got Miss Sharma.
00:30We've got a daughter.
00:31It's Jazz.
00:32She's just brilliant, isn't she?
00:58Wait, we're late!
01:00Wait, we're late!
01:13Hi Martin, can't believe how late we were messaging last night.
01:42Hope you still have time to plan your work presentation.
01:45If not, you're a smart guy.
01:46I'm sure you can win it.
01:47Speak to you soon.
01:48Wade, we should have left ten minutes ago.
02:12You left earlier this morning.
02:20Yeah, sorry, it's just I've got a million things I need to do.
02:22I'm still covering for call.
02:24Nisha's meant to be doing it.
02:26And Stella's asked me to organise this environment they sent me.
02:28Oh, hang on.
02:30I haven't sent the running order for when did the print out.
02:32You're overdoing it.
02:34Burning the candle at Bob Fence.
02:35Don't forget family time tonight though, yeah?
02:37Yeah.
02:38Yeah, OBJ.
02:39Sink in.
02:40Bowling.
02:40Bowling?
02:42Yeah, I'm not 12.
02:44Ooh.
02:46Laser quest though.
02:50Just don't take...
02:52No, no.
02:54Nisha, it's not delegating.
02:56If you pass everything back to me, I was delegating to you for...
02:59Sorry.
03:00Look, I know there's no point in me saying this, but don't take in to...
03:03I'm not taking in to...
03:04Excuse me, sir.
03:05Oh, dear.
03:07Monitor.
03:09Right.
03:10Maybe I should just cancel tonight.
03:13Maybe I'm being a bit...
03:14try hard.
03:15No, no, no.
03:16It's a lovely idea.
03:17Can we just talk about it later?
03:18I mean, look at that, right?
03:20It's got the whole world in me now.
03:25That's so exciting about your interview, Andy.
03:27Good luck.
03:28I know you're going to smash it.
03:29Hope is going to kill me.
03:38She said she wanted another rehearsal this morning.
03:41I don't know how we overslept.
03:45Oh.
03:46Man, it's me, Sharma.
03:49Well, Zane, slow down.
03:52Let her go ahead, all right?
03:54I owe her some homework.
03:55You go ahead.
04:03I'll see you later.
04:05See ya.
04:05This is going to be the best day ever.
04:16I've nailed this number.
04:18What time's Mum arriving?
04:19Well, she's going to try and get here for the assembly.
04:21Though how that dreadful show tune qualifies for an environment presentation.
04:25Music's a great way to deliver a political message.
04:28Beyoncé taught us that.
04:29So now you're Beyoncé?
04:31Mum loves it when I perform.
04:32And I thought this was all about the environment.
04:34It is possible to care about two things at the same time, Ben.
04:36Showing off to your non-existent friends and showing off to Mum.
04:39Am I going to have to warn your mum that she's going to spend her visit refereeing you two?
04:42So annoying.
04:44What do you know, Ben?
04:45Sorry.
04:46Go to hell.
04:48What's going on with her?
04:49Going to embarrass herself with that stupid assembly later.
04:52Like the loser she is.
04:53You're so harsh on her.
04:55She can take it.
04:55Mate, I'm in trouble.
05:15Hey, so last night I'm with Amber and Maya shows up and I'm like, you should have seen it, man.
05:23You miss everything.
05:25Like, why are you never out?
05:28I've got a job, haven't I?
05:29With that, an exam's coming up.
05:31My mum's gone mad about homework.
05:33You know, I was up all night in my room studying.
05:35I hope you've done our presentation.
05:37Are you sure it was homework you were doing last night?
05:45Dwayne, have you finally pulled a real-life girl?
05:52Is this hers, is it?
05:55Ooh, red.
05:56Sexy.
05:57Wait, mate.
05:58Look, I'm impressed.
06:00An actual girl.
06:01You'd have thought it.
06:02It's dead classy, that.
06:04You finished?
06:05Not even started.
06:07I'll see you in class, yeah?
06:31Erm, what the hell do you think you're doing?
06:34I was leaving this for Miss Sharma.
06:40I found it on the way in.
06:44And I knew it was hers, because she wears it all the time.
06:48Well, not all the time.
06:50I don't know what she wears.
06:53I don't notice.
06:55I will see that she gets it back.
07:04Yeah.
07:14Thanks.
07:14See you.
07:14Good morning, everyone.
07:22As you are aware, a new team member will be joining us today.
07:26Mitch Swift.
07:27He's going to be our new Senko.
07:29Oh, finally, some help with the reprobates and the whingers.
07:33Mitch will be focusing on getting the right support for our pupils with more specific needs.
07:37So, Mitch will be covering the reprobates, and I'll be your whinger man, Neil.
07:42He'll mainly be observing classes today, so you might see him around.
07:46I trust that you'll all make him feel very welcome.
07:48Joseph?
07:49Yeah, sorry.
07:50Yeah, so, today's highlight will be our very exciting environment assembly.
07:55The pupils will be taking the reins, doing a series of presentations and performances about climate change.
08:03Now, we have to...
08:04Sorry.
08:08Yeah, good.
08:09Yeah, so, we have told the pupils who were involved in the assembly that they can take some time out of lessons to rehearse.
08:16So, there may be disruption to classrooms, but it is all in a good cause.
08:19A very good cause.
08:20It's important to get the kids infused about the environment.
08:23And after the challenges of last week, it'd be good to show that Waterloo Road can still impress when it comes to science.
08:30Environmental science, that is.
08:31Is this still about getting STEM accreditation?
08:34And why we're suddenly interested in the environment?
08:38So, have a good day, everyone.
08:41She's barking up the wrong tree, if you ask me.
08:44Yeah?
08:44Why is that?
08:45STEM accreditation.
08:46Every school in Manchester's got one.
08:48If Stella wants bums on seats, we should be pushing the arts.
08:51Why?
08:51So they can become influencers?
08:52Make loads of money and buy the parents' houses.
08:55You know, saying that actually sounds all right.
08:58Such a sham.
08:59I mean, this is exactly why children lose interest in political causes.
09:03Because people in positions of authority tell lies.
09:06Hmm.
09:08You're not interested in the environment, Jess.
09:12Sorry.
09:13I've got to get my own environment sorted first.
09:15I mean, how is anyone supposed to afford rental prices on a teacher's salary?
09:20It's a matter.
09:24Where'd you find that?
09:26Your knight in shining armour returned it.
09:29Dwayne Jackson.
09:29Who?
09:31Year 11.
09:32Oh.
09:32I think he's got a bit of a crush in you.
09:34Ugh.
09:35You can practically smell the heady mix of links and teenage hormones.
09:38Mm.
09:39Mm.
09:40I've got him for English next.
09:42Wish me luck.
09:43Good luck.
09:44PHONE RINGS
09:45Stella, can I just get a second?
09:51Morning.
09:52Morning.
09:53Stella, can I speak to you, please?
09:54Well, you have to keep up.
09:55I'm behind today already.
09:57Oh, OK.
09:58Am I right your brilliant STEM strategy is about upping our intake?
10:03Because I think boosting our arts offering would also really help subscription levels.
10:07And who would be subscribing?
10:09Dorey adult fella.
10:10Well, we're not a stage school, Mr. Donovan.
10:12Oh, no, I'm not just talking about performing arts.
10:15I'm talking about music, media studies, um, art, art.
10:19Oh, do you love a bit of art, art?
10:23I'm sorry, I'm stressed.
10:24Sorry.
10:25Look at it, there is no subject like the arts for boosting intake.
10:29Parents cannot get enough of it.
10:30I've seen it before.
10:31Shall we just focus on the STEM accreditation first?
10:33Because that's the one I've prioritised and have yet to see delivered yet.
10:39Yeah, yeah, good plan.
10:41Can't wait for your assembly.
10:43Yeah.
10:44Sorry.
10:46Stella, I was just wondering whether someone else can show the new SENCO around.
10:49It's just, it's starting to get a bit busy.
10:51The Academy have some excellent time management courses.
10:53Oh, yeah, yeah.
10:54Got all the time in the world for a course.
10:57Sorry.
10:58Wendy, I've got a visitor on site this afternoon.
11:01Samantha Drake.
11:02It's just, Stella, I can, I can, I can really do without holding someone's hand
11:05where they realise the special educational needs at this school are unmanageable and they're
11:08going to have a hundred overdue care plans on their desk, aren't they?
11:11Hi.
11:12Hi.
11:12You must be Joe Casey.
11:14Yes.
11:15Mitch Swift.
11:16Nice to meet you.
11:17Oh, yeah, the new St. Cole.
11:18Sorry.
11:20Classic.
11:21Don't worry about it.
11:22It's fine.
11:23Great to see you again, Mitch.
11:25I will be leaving you in Joseph's capable hands today.
11:28Be sure to do the full school tour, Joseph.
11:30Yeah.
11:31First impressions are so important.
11:33Oh, yeah.
11:34Look, don't worry about the tour.
11:36I'll figure it out.
11:37I'm like a homing pigeon.
11:38Brrr.
11:40Can't wait to get started.
11:51Oh, my days.
11:54Wait.
11:55Dwayne, the scarf.
11:56The scarf.
11:56That's the scarf you had this morning.
11:58The one you pretended I wasn't your new girlfriend.
12:01Oh, mate, you are so busted.
12:02Unless you're dating Miss Sharma.
12:04Unless.
12:05Can you just keep it down?
12:07What?
12:08Are you afraid someone's going to find out how tragic you are
12:11pretending you had a girlfriend?
12:12I don't believe you.
12:13Seriously, shut it.
12:14Right.
12:15Calm down.
12:16Like my fault, you're a tragic liar.
12:19Can you go?
12:20Quickly and quietly, please?
12:24Look, I never said it was my girlfriend's scarf.
12:26You said it, of course.
12:27Well, I'm pretty sure that's what you made out, mate.
12:29Right, fine, fine.
12:31I'm a massive liar, so will you just shut up now?
12:33Leave, leave, leave.
12:42Hang on.
12:42Didn't Miss Sharma just send you that?
12:44Just leave it, OK?
12:48OK.
12:54I know it feels bad right now.
12:56What bad?
12:56I fell my mock exam, miss.
13:00Like I always said I would.
13:02You stuck your neck out for me and I've let you down.
13:04Like, I've let music down.
13:06You haven't let anyone down.
13:09I put my career on the line for you because you are a great musician.
13:14And you don't need a piece of paper to practice music or to follow your dreams.
13:21So that's it?
13:22Like, me and school break up after two years of trying to make it work?
13:25Look, there's no way I'm going to pass this, miss.
13:27Just give it to us straight.
13:30Right, look, I know I might be your favourite pupil, right?
13:34I can take it.
13:39Well, yes.
13:41I think we do have to acknowledge that, based on these grades,
13:47you will probably struggle to get a music A level.
13:49Well, I've got no back-up plan.
13:54Right, what am I actually meant to do without school, miss?
13:58I'm going to end up in some dead-end job, right, waiting to be discovered.
14:03I mean, it probably would make, like, really good material
14:06for the all-important second album, but it's not...
14:08Hang on.
14:09Let's not jump straight to dead-end.
14:11Why don't we think about something else you're passionate about,
14:14or at least enjoy?
14:15Something practical, maybe?
14:17I saw this earlier.
14:21You love cooking.
14:24Yeah?
14:26Ain't it cool?
14:27Found it in the drama studio.
14:29I don't think I can do this, Hope.
14:31It's going to be so embarrassing.
14:34You're essential to the look of the piece.
14:37How am I supposed to save the polar bears with no...
14:40bear?
14:42And you definitely remember the lighting cue for my presentation?
14:45Yeah, yeah, I've got it.
14:48Declan?
14:48I know you said there isn't time for everyone to have a dress rehearsal,
14:51but I really think that you're making a big mistake,
14:54not just giving me a run-through.
14:56Yes, Hope.
14:57I got your texts last night.
14:59All of them.
15:00I just wouldn't want you to mess up in front of the whole school
15:03and be mortified.
15:04Look, it says here,
15:06see polar bear, press play on the music.
15:09That's right.
15:09I think I can handle that.
15:10Now, if everyone's done complaining,
15:12some of us have got work to do.
15:17Hey.
15:19How's it going over here?
15:22Are you into environmental artists' protests too?
15:25Oh, yeah.
15:26Mr Swift.
15:28And the new Senko.
15:29And you are?
15:31I do.
15:33What?
15:34Not being funny, but you're a stranger.
15:35Honestly, this school lets anyone in.
15:38Right, well, I don't have my ID just yet, but...
15:42I am Mitch Swift,
15:45and he is the new Special Educational Needs Coordinator.
15:49Should he be a bit more built if you belong to a gym?
15:54Good one.
15:56I didn't catch your name.
15:58Portia Weaver.
15:59Ah, Portia Weaver.
16:01Yes.
16:02Right, well, nice to meet you.
16:03You're on my list.
16:07On what list?
16:10Oh, I've got a list.
16:12It's just a list of pupils that I want to introduce myself to
16:15and maybe work with in the future.
16:19Are you calling me special?
16:26Oh, that went well.
16:28Yeah.
16:28Weird she doesn't like being shown up in front of her mates.
16:31Oh, my God, Dwayne.
16:33Oh, my God, Dwayne.
16:33Oh, my God, Dwayne.
16:34Oh, my God, Dwayne.
16:35Oh, my God.
16:36Come on, you can tell us we won't be saying things, will we?
16:38Of course not.
16:39We're your mates.
16:40And keep a secret, I have not told anyone about Ben being after his air.
16:44Boys, less talking, more focus, please.
16:47Your exams are weeks away.
16:49Just be straight.
16:51Is there something actually going on with you?
16:53Miss Sharma?
16:53Did you leave that scarf at your house?
16:57Oh, my God, Dwayne.
16:58You player.
17:00Look, we're just chatting, OK?
17:02It's nothing.
17:03Don't make a big deal about it.
17:05Chatting?
17:05This is mad.
17:07I can't believe this.
17:08Right, you cannot say anything, OK?
17:10Did you tie you up with that scarf?
17:12I know.
17:13What bit of not saying anything do you not get?
17:15Mate, respect.
17:17That is some quality.
17:19Don't speak about it like that.
17:20Dwayne, why do I feel like your group isn't focused on the task?
17:24Focus.
17:25I don't want to ask you again.
17:29Look, we've agreed that while we're in school,
17:32she'll treat me like anyone else.
17:35OK, who can summarise for me what we mean
17:38when we talk about pathetic fallacy?
17:41Ben?
17:42Is it where the weather emphasises what you're feeling, miss?
17:45Like, you've never been in a relationship before
17:49and then you meet someone
17:50and someone comes up from behind the clouds?
17:52Very good.
17:53At least one of yours is listening.
17:55OK, in your groups,
17:56I want three more examples of pathetic fallacy
17:58from Silas Marner.
17:59What, are you playing at?
18:04Why is everyone getting messages?
18:06Except for me.
18:07I know you think a lot of Noel,
18:14but what I'm finding hard to process
18:16is how in the middle of a recruitment drive
18:20allowing a student to drop out
18:22can possibly be a good look for us.
18:26Another way to think about it
18:27is how Noel completely failing his exams would look
18:32if it's looks we're worrying about
18:34rather than students.
18:36He is a lovely lad
18:37and I fought for Noel to be here
18:39because he is talented
18:41and it's been fantastic
18:43watching that talent develop in the music room.
18:46But he's right.
18:48The theory, the academic side of things,
18:50it's just not for him.
18:52I truly think this kitchen apprenticeship
18:55could be a good fit.
18:56He's grown up a lot in the last year.
19:00I think he's ready to work.
19:03You know, I really thought this was it for me, miss.
19:05You know, bye-bye future seeing the factory.
19:08Then miss told me about the kitchen apprenticeship
19:09and I was like, yes!
19:12Miss, what do you think?
19:16Fingers crossed, eh?
19:17Whoever gets this job
19:18is going to have to be very mature, Noel.
19:20Which means no inappropriate language on sight,
19:23no dishing out extra portions to your mates,
19:26only for my favourite school secretary.
19:29No fighting.
19:30Whoa.
19:32I'm a lover and not a fighter, me, miss.
19:34Which leads me to my final point.
19:36No relationships between staff and students.
19:39By staff, I mean you.
19:41By students, I mean Stacey Neville.
19:47Come on, let's go.
19:48Here we go.
19:57You all right?
19:59I think you were right.
20:02Well, I mean, almost certainly and always.
20:06But what about?
20:07Dwayne Jackson having a crush on me.
20:10Hmm.
20:11Him and his mates spent the entire lesson
20:13just messing about, gossiping and gawping at me.
20:17Oh, no.
20:18Do you want me to have a word?
20:20No.
20:21No, it's fine.
20:21I can handle it.
20:24Jack.
20:25You love all this, like, talky-talky feeling stuff.
20:30What advice have you got for dealing with an inappropriate crush?
20:34Mum?
20:35Sweet.
20:37Well, I can't say I'm not flattered, Nisha.
20:40Oh, for God's sake.
20:41Perhaps a tactful word?
20:46No, you're not exactly known for tactful, Mum.
20:49Cheers.
20:51Yes.
20:52No, no, I understand.
20:54If Sam doesn't feel like coming, then she shouldn't come.
20:57It's just disappointing for her children.
20:59Recovery is the priority.
21:00Yes, of course, her recovery is the priority.
21:04We'll let her know when you spoke.
21:06Yes, OK, understood.
21:07Thank you for letting me know.
21:10Oh, it's not coming.
21:17She just texted me.
21:18That can't be right, can it, Nan?
21:19It's not right, is it?
21:20I know it's disappointing, Hope, but she doesn't feel up to it.
21:24Maybe it's a good sign that she's putting herself first.
21:27Right.
21:28Well, she just told me in her text it's because the fascists at the hospital weren't letting her out, so...
21:32Which is it?
21:36So, she doesn't actually want to come?
21:38She doesn't really want to see us?
21:40No, she definitely wants to see us, doesn't she, Nan?
21:43Something unexpected must have just come up.
21:46I'm just telling you what her doctor's told me, but...
21:49But this is your mum.
21:51Unexpected is her middle name.
21:53What do you mean by that?
21:54It means she's slagging mum off.
21:56It's her favourite thing to do.
21:58I know you're frustrated, but I'm doing my best here.
22:01I didn't ask for any of this.
22:02No, no, no, no, we didn't ask for this.
22:05You're the one that made us come live with you, because you've got nothing in your sad little life except this stupid job.
22:10You sound just like your mother.
22:11Good.
22:11Well, I'm glad you're such an effective mouthpiece for her, Ben.
22:15Otherwise, we might notice that she's not here taking care of you herself.
22:19But she wouldn't miss me before arm.
22:20She promised.
22:21You're the reason mum isn't coming today.
22:23It's you she couldn't stand to see.
22:25She hates you!
22:27Don't I know that!
22:28Good chat.
22:38Dwayne, can I have a quick word?
22:42Hiya.
22:43Now, Dwayne...
22:44What are you looking at?
22:45I know that having a crush as a teenager, it can be really hard.
22:51You know, I'm not so old that I don't remember that.
22:55Don't know what you're talking about, Miss.
22:57I don't have a crush on anybody.
22:58Hmm.
23:01What's going on there, then?
23:03Shh.
23:03I'm trying to listen.
23:04Hmm.
23:06You're just so up to something.
23:08I saw you in English, you know.
23:11Aisling, you better tell me.
23:13I just think that, you know, Mr Rimmer,
23:17he might have some good advice for you.
23:19He could help you explore your feelings towards...
23:22towards girls your own age.
23:24Go on.
23:25OK, so, Miss Sharma left her scarf at Dwayne's house.
23:30Why was Miss Sharma at Dwayne's house?
23:33Well, according to Dwayne,
23:36they're...
23:37doing it.
23:38Doing it with Miss Sharma!
23:40Shh!
23:40Tanya and Ashton.
23:48Perhaps you would be kind enough to come and join us.
23:52Now!
23:53Now!
24:01Doing it with Miss Sharma.
24:04It was me, Miss,
24:07that Tanya just repeated what I said.
24:10There's some problems.
24:13Dwayne
24:14is doing it with Miss Sharma.
24:17Is that what you said, Ashton?
24:23And, um,
24:25where is that idea come from?
24:27Miss Sharma
24:28left her scarf at his house.
24:31Yeah, I saw it.
24:32For your information,
24:38Miss Sharma dropped her scarf on the way to school.
24:41Now, if Dwayne wants to use that
24:42to spin you some delusional story
24:44about getting with her,
24:46and you believed it,
24:47well, then you are thicker than I thought.
24:50And if you all want something to gossip about,
24:52I would ask Dwayne here
24:54what he was doing
24:55following Miss Sharma to school
24:56and spying on her in the first place.
25:00Oh, thank you.
25:18So, I saw Joe earlier.
25:21He's quite tightly wound today, isn't he?
25:23I mean, even more than usual.
25:24Do you think it would be worth me talking to him?
25:31But really, what's the point in talking anyway?
25:34Maybe we should all just shut up
25:35and get on with it.
25:38Something on your mind?
25:40Andrew!
25:41You do that again, you'll get detention.
25:43Oh, I've just had an unpleasant argument
25:48with Ben and Hope.
25:50Let's just say I didn't cover myself
25:52in parental glory.
25:54Give yourself a break.
25:55Teenagers are annoying.
25:57The thing is, we're getting on.
25:59And then Sam says she's not coming today after all,
26:02and suddenly it's World War III.
26:05What?
26:06Well, it's not rocket science, is it?
26:09You're doing fine.
26:10Suddenly Sam threatens to make an appearance
26:12and you start scrabbling about
26:13trying to make sense of it
26:14in your own special ways.
26:16Well, apparently my way is becoming
26:18everything I hated about myself
26:19as a mother the first time round.
26:22Let them do something different.
26:26Maybe Sam did the right thing,
26:28taking herself out of the equation.
26:31Maybe you should do the same.
26:33Go and find the kids.
26:35Get it sorted.
26:36I'll be fine here.
26:38Isla!
26:39Ty!
26:49Oh, my God, he's stalking me now.
26:55Tawain's been following the Sharma.
26:56He's a pair.
26:57He's all around school.
27:01You're joking.
27:02In front of everybody.
27:03My lips are sealed.
27:05Hello, Widow.
27:10Ashton!
27:10Are you OK, Dwayne?
27:18Dwayne!
27:19Er, leave him.
27:20I was just embarrassed
27:20cos they got caught out.
27:21Yeah, well,
27:22you're the one that's gonna be embarrassed
27:23when I smash your face in
27:24for telling the whole school.
27:26Oh!
27:32Dwayne!
27:33I thought you were meant to be my mates.
27:36I thought you were meant to be my mates.
27:36Yeah, we are.
27:38Yeah, I look like it.
27:40I had one day,
27:42half the day,
27:45where I fit in,
27:46I was on the butt of every joke,
27:48the one no-one wants to get with.
27:50The loser.
27:52Now, look at it,
27:53everyone thinks I'm some weirdo.
27:54Well, they wouldn't
27:55if you just explained it.
27:57It's a misunderstanding, right?
27:59Don't pretend
28:00you have any idea
28:00what's going on with me.
28:02Well, Dwayne,
28:03I'm trying to,
28:03but you don't exactly
28:04help yourself.
28:06There's something
28:07clearly not right with you.
28:10Thanks a lot.
28:13I didn't mean it like that.
28:15Wait!
28:22He's cheating on me.
28:24That pathetic lying scumbag
28:25Noel is cheating on me.
28:27What the hell?
28:28Who is he cheating with?
28:29Oh, it's not just one girl.
28:31Oh, here he is,
28:32the love rat himself.
28:34You've got some nerve.
28:36What?
28:36Don't give me that.
28:38You know what?
28:39I saw your phone.
28:42Stace?
28:46I'm sorry.
28:48You were punching with me anyway.
28:50Good luck to whoever
28:50gets my sloppy seconds.
28:53Because you are sloppy.
28:55And you're stupid.
28:57And you're
28:58rubbish in bed.
29:02OK, show's over.
29:04Get on with your lunch.
29:07You.
29:08Well, I guess conveniently
29:09there are no more obstacles
29:11to you taking on
29:11the apprenticeship now,
29:12are there?
29:13Should you get off at it?
29:15It'll be cloud, I suppose.
29:16Ooh.
29:16Um...
29:17Hey, Mrs Drake,
29:19could I grab a word, please?
29:20Oh, no.
29:21Yeah?
29:23That's for Stace.
29:24Enjoy.
29:26Woo!
29:27Bell, Owen!
29:28We'll be seeing you
29:29into tension this week, Lois.
29:30You know, I was musing earlier
29:33if perhaps you had matured.
29:35But we can infer from this little scene
29:37that you haven't.
29:38So we'll keep looking
29:39for our kitchen apprentice.
29:40Excuse me.
29:41I told you I would handle it.
29:46Jazz?
29:47He was telling people
29:48that you slept together.
29:50What, do you want me
29:51to sit back and let that lie?
29:54Speak of the stalker.
29:56Dwayne Jackson,
29:58a word, please.
29:59No, you can't be on your own with...
30:07You don't need to lie
30:13about having a girlfriend, Dwayne.
30:16And if you are going to lie,
30:17at least say you're seeing someone
30:18that goes to another school.
30:20It's a classic.
30:21Never fails.
30:25I suppose I should be offended
30:26anyone even believed you.
30:27No offence,
30:29but I'm 23 years old.
30:31What do you mates think
30:32we have in common?
30:33What will we even talk about?
30:35OK, but we have been talking.
30:37On the app.
30:38I mean, you've said it yourself.
30:39We have a connection.
30:41Dwayne, this crush, fantasy,
30:44whatever you want to call it,
30:45it's obviously getting out of hand.
30:47And if you need me
30:47to be more direct about that...
30:49Look, it's me.
30:51I'm Martin.
30:54What?
30:55I'm Martin from Stockport.
30:57I promise to keep it a secret
30:59from now on.
31:00I wouldn't do anything
31:00to jeopardise what we have.
31:11Who did it?
31:12What's up?
31:13They totally bought it.
31:15Maybe we went too far.
31:16What do you mean?
31:17My acting was brilliant.
31:19It's off.
31:19Mrs Drake just thinks
31:21I'm way too immature.
31:24So I'll break up.
31:25Backfired.
31:27I've got no A-levels.
31:28No job.
31:29Sod the apprenticeship.
31:31They don't deserve you anyway.
31:32I was excited for it.
31:33Because this whole music thing,
31:35it's going to take a long time,
31:36Stace.
31:37A really, really, really long time.
31:39But working
31:39in the kitchen and cooking,
31:42I'd be so proud
31:43of doing that
31:43as me job.
31:46I'd really love that.
31:49Well, I love you.
31:51And this ain't over.
31:58So, if you actually bothered
32:00to read the chapter
32:01that you were supposed to,
32:02well then somebody here
32:03would be able to tell me
32:04about aerobic
32:05and anaerobic respiration.
32:08But now,
32:09I suppose you want me
32:10to tell you.
32:12Mum, I need help.
32:17Right, lucky for you.
32:18Lot, you can read
32:19that chapter now.
32:20Go on.
32:25Sorry, Pauline.
32:25Do you mind just giving me
32:26ten minutes?
32:32OK, so,
32:34I don't want you to lose it.
32:35All right.
32:37What's happened?
32:42I've been working
32:43on this app.
32:43I mean,
32:44you're supposed to be
32:44over 18 to use
32:45this site in the first place.
32:47How could I have known
32:48that a pupil
32:49would be on there?
32:51What were you thinking?
32:54I mean,
32:54Jazz.
32:55A teacher.
32:56On a porn site.
32:57It's not.
32:58I did not raise you
32:59to be this bloody stupid.
33:00It's not a porn site.
33:02I don't do anything
33:02like that.
33:04Why can I hit her?
33:05I don't want to talk in.
33:06If you're finished,
33:07move on to the next chapter.
33:09It's just texts
33:11and videos.
33:12Guys pay to feel
33:14like they have a girlfriend
33:14who's always nice to them
33:16and who always replies.
33:17That's all.
33:18And the money is great.
33:19I mean,
33:19if I did this for a term,
33:21then I could pay for the project...
33:21Jazz, Jazz,
33:22would you please just shut up?
33:23and trying to think?
33:29Right.
33:31Version A.
33:32You go to Stella.
33:34You throw yourself at her mercy.
33:36You tell her that you...
33:37you can't believe what's happened.
33:39And technically,
33:40he's catfished you.
33:41He has?
33:42No, but then she might be like,
33:44who cares?
33:45Safeguarding issue.
33:46Bam!
33:47You lose your job.
33:51Tell me there's a version B.
33:56You delete the account.
33:58You ask Dwayne not to say anything
33:59and if it gets out,
34:01you deny it, Jazz.
34:02It's his word against yours.
34:05Dwayne's promised
34:06he won't say anything,
34:07so...
34:08problem solved.
34:10Oh, no.
34:12I don't think I'd want my career
34:14resting on the ability
34:15of a teenager
34:16to keep the mouth shut.
34:18No, especially one
34:19that's already let his mates
34:20jump to a load of
34:20X-rated conclusions.
34:22He will.
34:23And you will.
34:24Right?
34:25I made him look like
34:26such a loser
34:26in front of his friends before.
34:28So he'll be fine.
34:29OK?
34:29I could lose
34:30my entire career.
34:34Wow.
34:37Apple don't fall
34:38too far from the tree,
34:39does it, Jazz?
34:40Please.
34:42Mum.
34:44OK.
34:54Hey.
34:56Can you leave us, please?
34:59I'm sorry I lost my temper.
35:07I think we're all angry
35:09at the moment,
35:10but I don't think
35:11it's at each other.
35:17This is lovely.
35:20Is it part of the act?
35:21Don't worry.
35:23Don't worry.
35:24I'm not doing it anymore.
35:27So I won't be embarrassing you.
35:30I don't really care about the assembly.
35:32I was only doing it for Mum.
35:35Do you know what?
35:36I...
35:37I wonder if we spent too much time
35:39recently thinking about your mum.
35:41she's ill.
35:42What?
35:42She's ill.
35:44She is.
35:45And that's why she needs to be thinking about herself at the moment.
35:48And maybe we need to be thinking about ourselves for a bit too.
35:52The three of us.
35:53I really enjoyed having you both stay with me.
35:57Eve and Ben.
35:59Er...
35:59No.
36:00Not today.
36:02Fair.
36:04You know, Hope,
36:05I've never seen you sing in public.
36:08On stage.
36:09And, well,
36:10I think that's a real shame.
36:11I've got to go.
36:15You think about it.
36:28I reckon I could fix this.
36:31Nan should probably see me perform.
36:34Everyone should.
36:36At least once in their lives.
36:41Mrs. Drake, you've got to listen to me, right?
36:47Oh, Stacey, do I?
36:49It's no.
36:50Huh.
36:50You amaze me.
36:51I know he can be an idiot.
36:52I mean, that's why I dumped him.
36:54One of the reasons.
36:55Come in.
36:56But, even though we're not together,
36:58I still think you need to give him a chance.
37:01Try these.
37:06He gets really into his food.
37:08He gets quite boring about it sometimes, actually.
37:09And he's really grown up.
37:10He's kind and looks after his nan.
37:13And, well,
37:14he probably don't need to know this,
37:15but there's not a lot of money going into our house.
37:17So, no packs homemade snacks in my school bag.
37:21You're really going to miss these, then?
37:24What?
37:25Now you've split up.
37:26Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
37:28I'll miss them.
37:30Actually, they're very good.
37:33He's brilliant, isn't he?
37:35Please don't discount him because of my immaturity.
37:37He'd be the best apprentice you could ever ask for.
37:39I promise.
37:41Hmm.
37:41Yes.
37:42That's pretty clear where you stand, Stacey.
37:45Back to your class now, please.
37:46What are you doing out here?
38:01Mr. Case didn't want me in his class because I didn't know the answer to something.
38:04What did you do?
38:09You think I'm thick.
38:10You think I'm thick.
38:12It's a conspirator.
38:14Look, I don't think you're thick, Portia.
38:17Far from it.
38:18I do think you might need a bit of extra support to reach your full potential, yeah?
38:25All right, let's start again.
38:28Look, I'm sorry.
38:30If I came in a bit strong before.
38:32First day, nerves.
38:35I think I was trying a little bit too hard to impress people.
38:39You, Mr. Casey.
38:42Why do you want to impress him?
38:43And I'm thinking maybe it's my fault that you're feeling a bit got at today.
38:51So, here's what we're going to do.
38:53You're going to go back into class.
38:54I'll speak to Mr. Casey, and then tomorrow we can meet up and maybe talk through, are you struggling a bit?
39:03See if I can help, yeah?
39:10Can I have a quick word, please, Mr. Casey?
39:13Go on, Portia.
39:14Back to your seat, please.
39:22Sorry.
39:23Why are you sending my pupil back into my class when I've just sent her out for being rude?
39:28Look, it's all good, okay?
39:30I've spoke to Portia, and...
39:32You've spoke to her.
39:33Good, right.
39:33What...
39:34What are you doing?
39:36You've just completely undermined my authority.
39:40I don't have time to babysit you, Mitch.
39:42The whole point of having a Sanko role is to take the workload off me.
39:46Well, no.
39:48The whole point of having a Sanko role is to help children with special education.
39:53educational needs, which is what I've just done with Portia.
39:57What are you wearing?
40:02What are you wearing?
40:06Well...
40:06Come here, what are you wearing?
40:22You all right, Dwayne?
40:25Oh, look, it's Dwayne.
40:27There's nothing around in Mum's room, is it?
40:29Boys!
40:32Are you not meant to be backstage?
40:37You know that they'll all be talking about something else tomorrow, don't you?
40:39It's all right, Miss.
40:40It's not like I wasn't a complete joke before.
40:41I don't think you're a joke, Dwayne.
40:42You know, you don't need to worry about me telling anyone.
40:44I think Miss Sharma's amazing.
40:45And I would never want anything bad to happen to her.
40:48Yeah, I...I get that, Dwayne.
40:49Me neither.
40:50Go on.
40:51Noel!
40:52I don't know how you did it, but you know what you're doing.
40:53I think Miss Sharma's amazing.
40:54I think Miss Sharma's amazing.
40:55And I would never want anything bad to happen to her.
40:58Yeah, I...I get that, Dwayne.
41:01Me neither.
41:04Go on.
41:09Noel.
41:16I don't know how you did it, but you seem to have a lot of people who think very highly
41:24of you.
41:25The apprenticeship.
41:27Mrs Drake decided to give you a go.
41:29The job's yours.
41:30Are you kidding?
41:32And apparently you and Stacey Neville are no longer in a relationship.
41:35No, we're not.
41:37That honest?
41:38Yeah, well, if Mrs Drake even detects a hint of PDA between you two, you're out.
41:43Got it?
41:44Got it?
41:45Well done.
41:46Oh, thanks.
41:59Got a job then?
42:00Yeah.
42:01Well, I'm glad you two are living happily ever after.
42:03You've got two weeks detention because of you.
42:05I think Dwayne will keep it quiet, you know.
42:06Like he thinks a lot of you.
42:07I was thinking about some of the messages he sent me.
42:20You know, as Martin.
42:22He's got so much on his plate.
42:23I bet today hasn't helped.
42:24Some Irish chip paper.
42:25Yeah.
42:26Yeah.
42:27Yeah.
42:28Welcome.
42:29Welcome everyone to the Waterloo Road Inaugural Environment Assembly.
42:40Now, our first speaker is Forrest Sumi with his presentation on why climate action is futile.
42:53Wow.
42:54Wow.
42:55Comrades.
42:56Well, it's like a magician.
42:59Sorry I was late.
43:01No worries.
43:02You're a busy man.
43:05Imaginary girlfriends.
43:07Demanding.
43:08I bet you did not know this before.
43:09What we do individually isn't even a truck not ever warming up.
43:15So?
43:16Water pollution, eh?
43:17Ah.
43:18So let's be honest, people.
43:21Yeah, we might feel good about throwing away, um, pop cans or pizza boxes.
43:27But the real power, it lies in awareness.
43:30Carbon rights old levels have been higher than they have in the past.
43:34I got caught on a call with a trust.
43:37I've not missed hope ever.
43:38Just in time.
43:39You know, I don't get the messages.
43:42The ones you wouldn't show me.
43:44Were you actually texting her earlier?
43:47Because it looked like you were.
43:49And it looked like she was texting you back.
43:54Oh, give me my phone back.
43:57Not until I see those messages.
43:59Give it here.
44:02Calm down.
44:03Okay?
44:04Here you go.
44:05Too slow.
44:06Take it.
44:12Hey!
44:13You're still going here?
44:22Sit.
44:23Sit down.
44:28I'm not a psycho!
44:30You're the one stalking.
44:31Miss Sharma.
44:42He's at the best you've got, Dwayne.
44:43Right, right.
44:44That's enough.
44:45That's all.
44:46Stop it, boys, now!
44:47Dwayne!
44:48Hey, Dwayne!
44:49Hey, Dwayne!
44:50Shutting up!
44:51Hey!
44:54Right, get in back now, ow!
44:55Dwayne!
44:56Come on!
44:57Sorry.
44:58My cue is the polar bear.
45:01Take me to my office.
45:02Let them handle it.
45:03Then we're handling it.
45:22That's my sister.
45:33Oh, till there's none.
45:39What were you thinking?
45:41Brawling like hooligans? I thought you two were meant to be friends.
45:44No, you care.
45:46Dwayne, this is not like you, this.
45:48No, you're not my foster carer, right?
45:50You barely even talk to us, so just leave us alone.
45:52Dwayne, we...
45:57Jess, I think you'd better wait for Stella in her office.
46:00Sounds like you can shed some light in today's events.
46:03Right, you two come with me as well.
46:07And you, Zen, come on.
46:09Come on.
46:11Clears away the cobwebs
46:15And the sorrow
46:19Till there's none
46:23When I'm stuck with a day
46:26That's grey
46:28And lonely
46:32I just take out my chin
46:34And grin
46:36And grin
46:38And say
46:40Oh
46:42Tomorrow
46:44Tomorrow
46:46I love you
46:48Tomorrow
46:50You're always
46:52You're always a day away
47:00You're always a day away
47:10So Joseph's filled me in on what the boys were fighting about, but if you could run it through from your point of view
47:30Yeah, well
47:32Yeah, well
47:34Dwayne has developed some kind of a fixation with me
47:38I think he followed me to school this morning, that's where the stalking comments came from
47:44And he's given his friends the impression that there's something physical going on between us
47:50But I've talked to him and he really regrets it
47:54I mean
47:56It's just lads, isn't it?
47:58He understands how inappropriate he's been and I'm fairly sure it's all sorted
48:03If I were you, I would just punish him for the fight and we can let the rest of this blow over
48:08That's not your call jazz
48:10There's a safety issue here
48:12A safety issue?
48:14What you mean from Dwayne?
48:16Yes, from Dwayne
48:18Um, what'll happen to him?
48:20Well, he'll be suspended for the fight
48:24Beyond that I don't think it's appropriate for you and him to have any further contact
48:28And considering what you just told me
48:30Unfortunately, I think we might have to look at permanent exclusion
48:36Is that not a bit extreme?
48:39So I'll need to talk to his mum
48:41But before I do, I take it that you've not done anything to encourage him
48:45Because in my experience, she's going to want to blame everybody else but him
48:49No, not deliberately, no
48:54No, seriously, Jazz
48:57Well, it's true
48:59This is about Dwayne, not me
49:01Obviously, I don't want to see any kid expelled
49:03But like Stella says, if it's a safety issue
49:05Right, Stella
49:06I think that there's something that you need to know
49:18You know your many things, Mum, but I didn't have you down as a grass
49:21Oh, please
49:22Done you a favour
49:23How exactly have you done me a favour?
49:25I think it's pretty bloody obvious after today that this job isn't the one for you
49:30Well, is that the woman who encouraged me to get into teaching in the first place?
49:34Oh, you'll be great, Jazz
49:35The kids will love you, Jazz
49:36Yeah, a bit too much
49:40Do you know what?
49:42Maybe it's my fault
49:43Yeah, you're telling me
49:44No, seriously
49:46I think I've just made everything too easy for you
49:49I've cleaned up after you
49:52And this is the result, right?
49:54You thinking that you can just jazz hands your way through your life
49:57And not take any responsibility for anything
50:01And I'm not having a go, Jazz
50:03I'm not
50:05I just think that you need to get out of here
50:08And go and experience that big wide world for a bit
50:13You know, without me
50:15Trotting behind you with my dustpan and brush
50:18And how am I supposed to do that with no job and no money?
50:22Well, why don't you get back on your website?
50:25Looks like you were making a killing
50:31What did the TRA say? Am I going to be struck off?
50:33I'm afraid it's out of my hands
50:35I'll get somebody to escort you off the premises
50:37Yeah, alright Stella
50:41Isn't losing her job enough?
50:43And do you know what?
50:44She doesn't need escorting off
50:46She's not a criminal
50:48I'll take her myself
50:50Come on, babe
50:55I may have been out of line with the whole Portia Weaver thing
50:59Er, yeah
51:01She was great for the rest of the class
51:03Wow
51:05Listen, erm
51:07I messed up with Portia this morning
51:10So that's the only reason why I stepped in this afternoon
51:13I won't
51:14I won't do it again
51:16Well, no, I mean you
51:17No, look, I get it
51:19It's not helpful when you're trying to sort something yourself
51:23I'd rather we work together
51:25Thank you
51:27Thank you, thanks
51:29Yeah, and just in the interest of balance
51:32Erm, there is a small chance that you fell victim of my inability to say no
51:39Slash my inability to delegate slash, I mean, many other inabilities that I'm not even aware of yet
51:46So
51:49It's been a pig of a day
51:51I mean, the assembly was a car crash and then I messed things up with Dwayne
51:55Listen, everyone loved the assembly
51:59You can't do all of this by yourself
52:02Right, come on sad sack
52:06You can buy me an end of first day pint
52:09Apparently it's a Waterloo Road tradition
52:11No
52:14No, well, not that
52:16Yeah, I just started it
52:18Do you know what, I would, I'd love to
52:21I'd actually really love to just let my hair down and have a night out but er
52:27I can't tonight
52:29Sorry
52:31I've got a tonne of work to do
52:33I've got to go on the most sullen, sure to be unsuccessful bowling trip ever
52:38I mean, in the history of bowling, so
52:39So
52:41For you though
52:47And I was supposed to be singing that line to Zane as a polar bear
52:51But, I think me just being on stage was better
52:54I mean, everyone sort of loved it
52:56Yeah, they did
52:58I'm very proud
52:59Is Dwayne okay?
53:00Tell you what, no more school chat for the rest of the evening
53:03You just won't hope to stop talking about her flipping performance
53:07Stella
53:08A few of us are going to the pub if you fancy
53:10Hey Hope, well done on your song by the way
53:13Oh yeah, Waterloo Road's very own Taylor Swift
53:16There's only one Queen, and it's not her
53:19She was great, wasn't she?
53:21In fact, Hope's performance gave Mr Rimmer a really good idea
53:24Oh yeah?
53:25He thinks we should apply for arts funding, thinks it will widen our appeal
53:29Wasn't that your...
53:32Er...
53:33Yeah, I think that is a great idea
53:36Good, because it would be helpful to have an enthusiastic advocate on board
53:40Anyway, thanks for the offer of a drink, but we can have a family night in
53:43Thank you
53:44See you
53:45Bye
53:46What was all that about?
53:48I thought that was your idea
53:50Yeah, well, you know what?
53:52You win some, you lose some
53:54And a win for Jack is a win for the arts
53:57Yeah, shall we?
53:58Yeah, let's
53:59Everyone's going for drinks and, well, it's Mitch's first day
54:02And it's a, it's a Waterloo Road tradition
54:05I mean, I don't mind, it's just
54:07Chewy
54:09Bowling
54:11Yeah, well, I was thinking about that, right
54:13I've got a pretty good relationship with him
54:15And, you know, it might do you good to have some
54:18One and one time with him
54:19You two coming to the pub?
54:23No, I'm gonna have family time
54:26Casey is all yours
54:30Thank you
54:31Have fun
54:33Come on then, Casey
54:37Might look nice, doesn't it?
54:38Yeah, it does
54:39Scrubs up well
54:47Heard you got suspended for fighting
54:50Proper hard man
54:52Bad boy for life, mate
54:54Look, I'm sorry about earlier
54:59I know you don't want to talk about it, but
55:02It might help
55:04Just leave it, Tom
55:07I just don't get why you'd rather speak to some teacher than me
55:11How would I talk to any of you lot about the things that really matter?
55:20What's that supposed to mean?
55:22Because it's all jokes and banter and you can't get mad because it's jokes, but it's not
55:29Like my life, it's not jokes
55:32Dwayne, I never said it was
55:35I'm not like you are
55:40Like you don't worry about things the way that I do
55:45Maybe you stop overthinking things and come out with us once in a while, have a laugh
55:52Go on, pretend everything's great
55:56When all I'm really thinking is if she's going to be sober when I get home
55:59Dwayne
56:01Your mum's fine
56:03She's not had a drink in ages
56:06You've got to let it go
56:07What about Zane?
56:08What if he was there by himself and he was scared?
56:13Look, Mike and Joe would never let you back there if they thought you'd
56:16Look, Mike and Joe don't have a clue what's going on with me
56:19Right, they're not fussed
56:21No one is fussed
56:24Yeah
56:26Right, no one's fussed
56:28I've not just come all the way down here to come and look for you
56:34And you're all alone
56:35And no one cares over they stupid Miss Charmwell
56:40At least she let me talk
56:42And she listened
56:44And she didn't tell me it's all okay when it's not
56:47Well I am so sorry for trying to make you feel better
56:52Get lost, Tonya
57:05Kiss you through the air, baby, catch it before you go
57:16And when it gets bad, you'll be the first to know
57:24If summer's in the air, then why does it feel like snow?
57:35You throw me a look, then you open up a comic book
57:40You throw me a look, then you open up a comic book
57:49Everywhere that we go, people say we're old souls
57:53With or without you, it gets mad
57:58But if you go, I'll lose my hope
58:08Kiss you through the air, baby, catch it before you go
58:13Before you go
58:15Before you go
58:17Before you go
58:22Before you go
