00:52a hell of a lot worse than I have well looks like you've sussed me out and yes we are looking for
01:03a visionary new head let me save you some time the last thing that I need is for my name to be attached

02:53Better start standing up for yourself, otherwise they will never stop.
03:09Billy Savage, I'm arresting you on suspicion of murder.
03:12You think it was bad working here before?
03:14No way till word gets round about this.
03:21Do you stand by your words?
03:28Of course I stand by my words.
03:35The biggest problem facing schools is the parents.
03:42The biggest problem facing schools is the parents.
03:49The biggest problem facing schools is the parents.
03:56The biggest problem facing schools is the parents.
04:02It's the whole off-step thing that worries me.
04:03She's going to be the living, breathing rules man of all.
04:09It's time to polish up.
04:10Oh, see these ladies.
04:11Are you giving her back the news yet?
04:12They all want cheap ECTs.
04:13They all want cheap ECTs.
04:14I mean, it might be a bin fire here, but I'm not taking a 10k paper.
04:1510k?
04:16Erm, can we stand in a neat line please?
04:17Can we stand in a neat line please?
04:18And can you get those bags out of the room?
04:19The biggest problem facing schools is the biggest problem facing school.
04:20They're parents are going to love her.
04:21The whole off-step thing that worries me.
04:23She's going to be the living, breathing rules man of all.
04:29Oh, CVs, ladies.
04:31Have you ever heard back from yours yet?
04:32They all want cheap ECTs.
04:34I mean, it might be a bim-fi here, but I'm not taking a 10k pay book.
04:3910k!
04:40Um, can we stand in a neat line, please?
04:44And can you get those bags out of the way?
04:47They're cluttering up the foyer.
04:48How long, miss?
04:49Just give us a ticket and we'll come back.
04:51I'm not a fish and chip shop.
04:52If you want to sign up for counselling, you'll have to wait.
04:56I just want to know what we have for that.
04:57I think, come on, it must have been a fair old quack.
05:00Game, still drink.
05:02Well, they've not exactly had candidates biting their hands off for the job, have they?
05:06Poison chalice, anyone?
05:08Just come on, like, surely someone a little less controversial.
05:12Oh, not this again.
05:14Can we just hold off on the judgement?
05:16At least until we've actually met her.
05:18Wendy, she was your old headmistress, what's she like?
05:22Oh, let the clamminess of my hands speak for themselves.
05:24For goodness sake.
05:27She's a safe pair of hands.
05:29She was a national success story in her day.
05:32Oh, yes, but exactly how long has it been since she's set foot in a school?
05:36An actual school.
05:37And I don't mean as an inspector.
05:39Ashton, you promised.
05:52Do you want to go home and tell your dad you wouldn't even go in?
05:55We know it's serious this time.
05:57Look, just think of the positives, yeah?
06:00Just a couple of years left in school and no-one knows you're here.
06:04Can you get a blank slate?
06:06Step aside!
06:08Move!
06:10Oh!
06:12You had cancelling last time, didn't you, Stacey Neville?
06:15You really need more?
06:17You too, Helena.
06:19Lois?
06:20Can't put a time limit on self-care, miss.
06:23You can't put a time limit on three passes out of class either, can you?
06:27What's that?
06:28Here's your whole passes, ladies.
06:31Thank you!
06:32Look, let's just focus on being ourselves, all right?
06:36There's nothing to worry about.
06:40I'm not worried.
06:41Yeah, yeah, exactly.
06:43Now, and anyway, she's not going to be any different from any other head that we've had here.
06:46Well, hopefully she is.
06:48Yeah, well, yeah, what I mean is we shouldn't be putting her on a pedestal.
06:52Well, she's here now.
06:53Yeah, exactly, she's here now, so we just have to, you know, go to drink.
06:55No, she's here now.
06:56Good morning, Mrs Drake.
06:59Morning.
07:00Miss Walker.
07:01Miss Walker.
07:01Ah, Dame Drake.
07:04My liege.
07:05That's, um, it's Mr Casey.
07:07Joel.
07:08Yeah.
07:08Joseph.
07:10My two deputies, I take it.
07:12They do say that two heads are better than one.
07:16Yeah.
07:17You said you wanted an intro with the staff first.
07:20Yeah, lovely.
07:21They're all gathered and eager to meet you.
07:23Lovely.
07:24Yeah, just follow me.
07:25It's, um, well, it's on the first floor.
07:27We can take the lift.
07:28Time to switch up my skincare routine.
07:32How old do you think I am, Joseph?
07:36No.
07:36No, no, no, no, no, no.
07:37It was, um, it's...
07:38My reputation really must precede me.
07:42I'm pulling your leg.
07:44Oh.
07:45Yeah.
07:45What's this?
07:47Yes, er, we, well, we sent a letter out over the break just extending our offer of school
07:51cancelling after the incident to last term.
07:54Yeah.
07:55It's a bit overkill.
07:56Your words, not mine.
08:06Oh!
08:06Oh.
08:07So sorry.
08:08No, no, it was me.
08:09Just running a little bit late.
08:10No first impressions and all that.
08:12Kind of garage.
08:14Oh, no, I, um, I'm just trying to get fit.
08:18You know, you've got to keep up with the kids, haven't you?
08:19Mm.
08:20And the dating sites.
08:22Look, I'm not on any dating sites, right?
08:24I'm just pulling your leg.
08:25I'm just trying to lighten the mood or whatever.
08:28Yeah.
08:31You head's in.
08:32You best get a wriggle on.
08:34What?
08:35Mm.
08:36Looks like she's not short of a bob or two egg.
08:38Yeah.
08:42Look, I better...
08:46I'll see you later.
08:47See you.
08:54In the video where she's talking about the...
08:58Mm-hmm.
08:59Sorry.
09:01I forgot I left my car somewhere else last night.
09:04Yeah, we're just talking about Dragon Drake.
09:06Yeah, I like her.
09:07I think she's got loads to offer.
09:09Don't get him started.
09:10He's her biggest fan.
09:11Ha, ha, ha.
09:13She's a stellar Wikipedia, aren't you, pal?
09:15Hey, come on, don't be like that.
09:16Look, I'm a teacher trainee, all right?
09:18I'd be the first to go if she had a cup.
09:19But what do we call her?
09:21I hate titles.
09:22Well, I'm not curtsying.
09:24Don't care if she's a dame.
09:26Mrs Drake is fine.
09:28Dame always makes me feel like I'm in a panto.
09:31So, what do I call you?
09:33Mm.
09:35Miss Spratt?
09:36Just Amy.
09:37So, just Amy.
09:40Thanks for kicking off the introductions.
09:42I look forward to meeting you all over the course of this week.
09:45I just wanted to say a brief hello.
09:48So, please, sit.
09:49At ease.
09:50Ha, ha.
09:51Let's start by addressing the obvious.
09:54No doubt you've heard a lot about me already.
09:57Some of you may think certain things due to what you've read in the papers.
10:01Well, let me say, I don't regret any of that.
10:04Well, maybe I do regret the doorstep photo they took of me and me tatty old dressing gown and me mismatched socks.
10:10Believe me, I've had enough interaction with the media to last a lifetime.
10:13But what I will say is that my time at Ofsted gave me invaluable insight into what works and doesn't work in schools.
10:21I know you're probably still feeling battered and bruised following recent events, but we need to take a good, honest look at what changes are needed to turn this school around.
10:32I'm confident.
10:34So, withdraw all your job applications and let's work together to bring Waterloo Road back.
10:41Have a good day, everyone.
10:48Who's going to show me to my office?
10:50Oh, yeah, I can.
10:51Oh, sorry.
10:53Yeah, this is Wendy.
10:55She will be your right-hand woman and she's a former pupil of yours.
10:59Right, what's the goal?
11:00Um, Riverside Comp.
11:02Ha!
11:02And you survived.
11:04Hmm!
11:09Hey.
11:10Just didn't know it so I was missing, did she?
11:11No, no, I reckon you got away with it.
11:13I mean, I only just managed to get in myself.
11:15Well, you did leave your cards once over, now you're doing stuff and all.
11:19You've got to pick me up this morning.
11:21Do you know how long it taught me to cycle in?
11:22No, because that's just going to look really sus, isn't it?
11:24What's coming in to get out of here?
11:28Look, we're having fun, but we agreed, didn't we?
11:30Let's just keep things separate.
11:34I wouldn't put it past naked, slip of bogey, me jam roly-poly.
11:36It's none of her business anymore.
11:38Yeah, but still.
11:40Let's just hope you can keep it professionally in class.
11:45And we're here.
11:46Strictly hands off.
11:51Oh, er, I've highlighted any pinch points as well in your calendar, so...
12:04Ah, Mrs Drake, er, Mr Charles, Dante, trainee.
12:07Nice to meet you.
12:08Yeah, you too.
12:09I just wanted to say, you know, how, er, inspired I was of your story.
12:13You know, if I could just have a grain of your success.
12:15I'm not sure I'm quite the success story right now.
12:17But thank you.
12:19Nice wheels, by the way.
12:20Oh.
12:21Is it as good to drive as it looks?
12:23Usually, but it's sounding a bit funny lately.
12:25And it nearly cut out on my way in.
12:26I could have a look if you want.
12:28No offence, Dante, but I normally leave that to the professionals.
12:32Dante was our site manager.
12:33He can fix anything.
12:36Including freezer doors.
12:37Long story.
12:40Er, well.
12:43Can I trust you with my baby?
12:46100%.
12:47I'm your man.
12:48Oh, and, er, I'd like a tour of the kitchens as soon as possible.
12:52Yeah, absolutely.
12:53Um, before you do, er, Mrs Stone and her son are in your office.
12:57Apologies.
12:57New starter.
12:58Oh, yes, I remember, yes.
13:00I want to see this boy.
13:08Mrs Stone.
13:11Hashton.
13:11Mrs Drake, so good to meet you.
13:13So, I've had a chance to review Hashton's school reports.
13:20Such a colourful history of behavioural violations.
13:24See, his last school didn't provide the right interventions.
13:28And, well, not every kid responds to the same rules.
13:31Mrs Stone, schools can't tailor rules to suit individual students.
13:35This school has a code of conduct.
13:37Of course.
13:38What I meant...
13:38And had I been in charge, a managed move for Ashton probably wouldn't have been approved.
13:42He would be sitting in a pupil referral unit right now.
13:45Well, that's the last thing he needs.
13:47But it seems that someone has a more generous view of our admissions.
13:52Capitalise on that good fortune, Ashton.
13:54And get familiar with our behaviour policy.
13:57Because I've instructed the teaching staff to take action the moment you're in breach of the rules.
14:03Now, you may have secured a place here.
14:05But you are going to have to work very hard to keep it.
14:10Understood?
14:10Understood.
14:12Right, so this is the pool table.
14:24We do have vending machines.
14:26We used to have a microwave, but people kept putting shoes in it.
14:28So, don't have that anymore.
14:30And over here, we have comfy seats, yeah?
14:34Ladies, you have a right.
14:36So, this is slightly rink.
14:38Oh, you don't think about the view?
14:40Yeah, go on.
14:40Why do we have to watch these two all over each other in the middle of the common room?
14:43I'm so on horse, though.
14:45Hmm.
14:46I don't know.
14:47I mean, maybe we could be a little bit more open about our couple status.
14:51Maybe you sink a bacon bar.
14:55You joking?
14:56I can't keep it as yours.
14:57I can't keep it as you.
14:58Nah.
14:58Nah, you were...
14:59You know, I'm gutted.
15:04How'd I got any for yous together?
15:06Well, we've got a whole pass.
15:07We can sneak out and meet.
15:09Bad girl.
15:13Sixth formers, I have been tasked with the welcome.
15:18Welcome.
15:19Please fill in your self-assessment questionnaires online.
15:23All right?

15:25Whatever that means.

16:20Give me the clue.

17:48for the sake I can be quiet what is this I had a pass I swear miss Spratt we're just
17:56showing mrs Drake our well-being space oh yeah oh hi um sorry I was just on the phone to a parent
18:03and yes so um this is a space where students can come and decompress for 10 minutes if they're
18:09feeling anxious or overwhelmed just after the trauma of what happened here trauma do these
18:15students look traumatized to you okay so effort skill and behavior now you all better be on your best
18:23behavior including you Porsche because I've got miss Sandra monitoring my lessons all right and I don't
18:28want to get into trouble so at the end we're going to evaluate our tactics and performance
18:33with a big game of dodgeball yeah oh sorry I always feel like I'm going to get decapitated hey don't
18:38worry all right we will establish clear boundaries yeah oh wow did your clothes drink in the wash
18:46are those slugs on your face are you talking to your smelly little nit whoa whoa Porsche that's enough
18:51all right let this be a lesson to all of you all right you forget your PE kit and it's the bin bag of

19:01bibs out I can sir the confidence I like that Ashton all right everyone follow Ashton and I'll sort
19:06the bibs out all right let's go hey just so I'm clear any student can skip class for counselling
19:13or or escape to some sort of bedowing camp in the library well it's a well-being space and lots of
19:19schools do have them they do it's not bad in itself no the situation here was serious but you
19:27remember what it were like Coral we had kids crying at the gates yet parents who were too scared to send
19:32them in I mean some of them were even pulling them out completely we had to rebuild trust it's all
19:37gone too far though hasn't it reasonable adjustments are no longer reasonable personalized learning plans
19:43used to be a rare thing and now we're handing them out like confetti I mean teachers are spending
19:48whole lessons writing up class notes emailing parents modifying and accommodating every student's
19:55need I mean they can't all sit in their preferred chair okay okay well yes yes things have got a bit
20:01out of hand and yes the kids are taking liberties maybe we do just need to pull back I agree thank
20:07you Joseph we do need to pull back on all of this um
20:14all right take it easy let's go come on I shouldn't get on your side
20:26remember this is supposed to be sports
20:36no getting below the waist
20:44okay pause at the game pause pause right that is enough Ashton go and sit over there and calm
21:06down sorry everyone I want your evaluation sheets out please want them filled in before break
21:12you all right yeah the kids out of control man so why don't you take him out the game sooner
21:21come on danse you know this you can't let a kid like that ring to your own job
21:27so for the time being no unnecessary accommodations no school counseling and no
21:50hall passes for the well-being room sorry but surely we can't just stop everything without a
21:56warning course we can as mr. Casey said we have to pull back put everything on hold until we sort
22:01this mess out well I sorry I never but what about the students who do need the accommodations they're
22:08not all fakers well obviously I don't want you to deny a diabetic their insulin I expect you to use
22:13your common sense a pressing pause cutting off a corner of the library not creating a life and
22:19death situation so if there's no further questions I'll assume you have that all in hand
22:26so that's it the well-being room was a lifeline for some oh come off it Amy she's spot on I mean
22:37you can't all have PTSD you might want to have a word with Libby then Neil because she's the one

37:51He did what all of the blokes would have done with 99% of the brains in the pants!
37:55She's a trollet!
37:57You ought to tell everyone exactly who she is!
37:59I can't be bothered with any of it anymore, Debs. Let them have each other!
38:03I guess I know now anyway, don't I? Eh?
38:07No chance of a future for us!
38:11Well, I just need to focus on myself and the kids, you know?
38:15Cos Tonya needs me, so...
38:17Well, in my opinion, you were far too good for him anyway!
38:22You and Dante are a bit like this pudding!
38:25Dante is the crumbly bit, where if you scratch the surface, there's not really much beneath that.
38:31Well, then you...
38:33You're like a soft-heavy centre!
38:36All tasty and deep!
38:39What are you on about?
38:40Do you know what your problem is?
38:42You give away your apple crumble, Suiza?
38:44HE LAUGHS
38:49Oh, Tan!
38:50I can't... I can't do this anymore!
38:53Come here!
38:54It's the stabbing pain! It's too much!
38:56Oh, you want to get her to a GP!
38:58It's all we do these days, isn't it?
39:02Come on, kiddo!
39:04Come on!
39:09Who needs a mammon? You've got this crumble!
39:11You've got this crumble!
39:30Oi! Ashton!
39:33Oi! Ashton!
39:34I get in his hands!
39:37I get in his hands!
39:43Get in here! Get in here!
39:48You know you can't lock me in here!
39:49I'll have you done.
39:51Where's the car?
39:52What are you on about?
39:53I'll ask you again, Ashton!
39:54Where's the car?
39:55Let me out!
39:56Just don't get it, do you?
39:58You're just some stupid, selfish kid.
40:00You know, this is my job.
40:02This is food on the table for my kids.
40:04This is everything that I've worked for.
40:06And you think I'm gonna let some stupid kid like you
40:08take that away from me? Yes.
40:10I'm your teacher, and you are my pupil.
40:12But I'm telling you now, if I lose my job,
40:14if you cause me to lose my job,
40:16I won't be Mr. Charles anymore.
40:18Do you understand?
40:20Do you understand?!
40:22How long's it been in there?
40:24Yeah, well, we can't keep him prisoner, right?
40:26I was all really being free.
40:28I didn't keep him prisoner!
40:30Sorry, I just...
40:32I told you that this would happen.
40:34We can't just take things away
40:36without a warning.
40:38Well, we've got to get a handle on it
40:40before Mrs. Sumi arrives, because once she's here...
40:42Too late. She's on her way here.
40:44And she's threatening to go to the papers.
40:46What?
40:48Papers?
40:50Mrs. Drake, it's their trump card.
40:52We cannot afford another scandal.
40:54I've already had several parents on the phone.
40:56The kids are telling them that apparently
40:58we're refusing them their human rights.
41:00We need to sort this out fast.
41:02I don't want my name in the papers.
41:04It would be the end of my career.
41:06Look, I... You might be okay with that,
41:08but I am not.
41:10Maybe we all need to take a few deep breaths.
41:12I've checked in with Mark.
41:14Here's the information.
41:16I've checked in with Mark.
41:18Here's the info about the trip.
41:20Miss Whitwell, round up the parent posse.
41:22The ones who are kicking up a stink.
41:24Invite them to a meeting with me after school.
41:26Yes, yes, that is good.
41:28Because then we can reassure them and...
41:30When you're letting me out of here?
41:33You're free to go whenever you please, Forrest.
41:36I just wanted to make you aware
41:38that what you've accused Miss Spratt of
41:40is very serious.
41:41She should have let me out then.
41:42And given the severity of your anxiety,
41:44we'll be looking at ways that we can better support you.
41:48Well, good.
41:49Helping you catch up is obviously a priority.
41:52So...
41:53Lunchtime one-to-ones would be a good idea.
41:56Wait, what?
41:57Oh, no, don't worry.
41:58We'll find a nice, quiet, calm space.
42:00And let's make sure that you sit next to your teachers
42:03in all of your classes from now on.
42:05I didn't say you need all that.
42:06And I see you're due to go on a residential at the end of the month.
42:09London, with a tech club.
42:11Ooh, a VR educational adventure.
42:14The UK's biggest interactive experience.
42:17Oh, that does sound exciting, doesn't it?
42:20Perhaps a bit too exciting for somebody of your nervous disposition.
42:23That's such a shame.
42:25Or...
42:28We could talk about what really happened today.
42:33How you doing?
42:35Er...
42:37Riley.
42:38We're really...
42:39That's what we've been saying.
42:41With that concentration.
42:42My new page was fantastic, it's funny, isn't it?
42:44See you next time.
42:54Any good?
42:55Hmm?
42:56What, this?
42:58Just got it out of the library.
43:00Got inspired after our chat earlier to have a deeper dive into this whole Peterloo stuff.
43:04Oh, did you now?
43:05You read this one?
43:07No, I haven't, as it goes.
43:09Well, it delves into the impact of the Peterloo massacre,
43:12but from the context of political reform.
43:14Oh, sounds very in-depth.
43:16Hmm.
43:17I had no idea you were such a self-directed learner, Jared.
43:20Yeah.
43:21Well, I mean, I'm always telling Libby we have to learn as much as we can.
43:25Last year's school.
43:27Got to soak it all up.
43:28Well, I tell you what, if you're serious,
43:30pop by my classroom after school, I've got plenty more material I can loan you.
43:34I love that.
43:35It's a date.
43:42What are you up to?
43:43Well, just wooing your dad big time.
43:46After this, he's going to be falling over himself to have me around.
43:49I can't believe you just abandoned a car in the street and think you'd get away with it.
44:06But you've got to cover for me, yeah?
44:08That's what you said?
44:09No, no, I never said that.
44:10You said your job.
44:11You don't want her to find out either?
44:12Yeah, of course I don't.
44:14She's going to have me head for this.
44:16You stole the car and drove it round the block through houses and streets, Ashton.
44:20It was just a stupid joke.
44:21Someone could have been killed.
44:22I wasn't even going fast.
44:24I was going to take you back to school.
44:25Please, you don't get what's on the line for me.
44:30What is on the line for you, Ashton?
44:35My dad's going to kick me out the house.
44:37He's already looking for an excuse.
44:39I just won't have a home by tomorrow.
44:44You just don't get it, do you?
44:47You can't go around doing stupid stuff and expect just to get away with it.
44:53Now, I was just like you.
44:56Always messing around, always wanting to laugh.
44:58It wasn't until...
45:00It wasn't until I got behind a wheel.
45:04And a good friend of mine died.
45:06My best friend.
45:06I wish I could say that bad, but I can't.
45:11I've got to live with that every single day of my life.
45:13I promise you, I won't do it again.
45:16I swear I've learnt my lesson.
45:20But the only way you're going to learn a lesson
45:21is by facing the music.
45:29Wait!
45:31I need to check.
45:33You okay?
45:34Probably the stupidest thing I've done in my life.
45:36I'm not being funny, but
45:37you don't strike me as the type of lad that steals cars.
45:41I just hope she don't find out.
45:43She?
45:45It was the new headteacher's girl.
45:46Oh, my God.
45:48Don't.
45:48Frick in it.
45:49We just abandoned the car somewhere.
45:51Ashley's gone and done one.
45:53I'm going to have a ride around me and see if I'm still there.
45:55Why did you do it?
45:56I don't know.
45:56Maybe it was just to impress everyone.
46:01Or you, to be exact.
46:08Look, I'm just going to go and say it,
46:11because what else have I got to lose?
46:12But you don't fancy going out some time, do you?
46:18I have to go.
46:20I'm sorry.
46:20Look, it's not you.
46:22I mean, it would be you, but I just can't.
46:27With anyone.
46:28Hey, sorry.
46:35With anyone.
46:37My son had an anxiety attack.
46:40You know I could take legal action.
46:41You completely ignored his condition.
46:44I've explained he needs a doctor's note.
46:46There is no legal recourse for us to make special arrangements
46:49without a diagnosis or a registered disability.
46:53You know what you're doing, don't you?
46:55You're taking this school back to the dark ages.
46:57Some of these accommodations served a purpose
46:59when the school was going through a crisis period.
47:02What, the system has been open to abuse?
47:05Mrs Drake, I'm a single parent and I work bloody hard.
47:08My daughter collapsed in this school.
47:10And I am sick and tired of taking her back and two to the doctors,
47:14banging my head against a wall, trying to get her a diagnosis.
47:18And now you're telling me that you're just going to withdraw
47:19the only support that she's been offered?
47:21No, no, absolutely not.
47:24This is a temporary but necessary measure.
47:26I will listen to all of you and listen to your child's needs.
47:29Yeah, but you're not going to listen to us, are you?
47:33Oh, we all know what you think of parents.
47:36Mrs Sumi, I will not conduct this meeting with you shouting out.
47:40Now, please.
47:42Look, some of you may have seen my comments in the press.
47:45I said that parents were to blame for the state of education.
47:51And I want to say to you all that I was wrong.
47:54I was wrong to say that.
47:56Oh, OK, so she's backtracking on that now.
47:58What I should have said was that I understand that many parents
48:01are overworked, underpaid, and are less able to spend the time
48:05and energy on their children that they need.
48:07Oh, so it's our fault now.
48:08The problem is they expect the school to fill all the gaps.
48:13Well, let me be clear.
48:15Our priority here is education.
48:18If your child is struggling, we want to know.
48:20But we're not social workers or counsellors,
48:24and we're far too underfunded to be the front line of children's services.
48:27That is just the grim reality that we all have to suck up and do our best with.
48:34School is not a democracy.
48:37I expect you to respect our policies in return for your child's good education.
48:43Now, if you can't do that, find another school.
48:47Oh, well, if this is how you're going to treat us,
48:50I will take Forrest out.
48:53You're well within your rights, Mrs Sumi.
48:55This school is toxic.
49:03The last head's in prison.
49:05And this one's even worse.
49:13So, any more questions?
49:16Being fully convinced that nothing less can remove the intolerable evils
49:21under which the people of this country have so long, and do still, grown.
49:26And also to consider the propriety of the unrepresented inhabitants of Manchester,
49:31electing a person to represent them in Parliament,
49:34and the adopting major car drivers...
49:36We've been looking for you everywhere.
49:37What are you doing?
49:39Just delving into some fascinating local history.
49:42Oh, blimey, I got so caught up, innit?
49:46I really enjoyed that, Jared.
49:48There's a lot of that stuff I haven't seen in years.
49:50And that's not even the half of it.
49:52There's a whole digital archive I could show you.
49:55Next time you're round at our place, we'll do a proper deep dive.
49:58Hmm?
49:59Yeah.
50:00Sounds awesome.
50:00You know, I wasn't really sure at first,
50:06but it's nice to see that Libby's met someone who
50:08wants to stay involved and engaged in the world around him.
50:19Oh, help me.
50:21You're so sweet.
50:22Can't believe you go to all this effort just so we can spend more time together.
50:26But, hey, you don't need my dad to fall in love with you.
50:29No, just me.
50:36Come on.
50:38Hi, is Mrs Drake here?
50:39I'll let her know you're here.
50:41Thanks, Wendy.
50:43Well, go on, sit down.
50:59Look, it's not like I want to do this, you know?
51:12You've got to do what you've got to do.
51:13After, you know, your mate died, you've got to prison for that?
51:26Almost.
51:30The whole life fell apart.
51:32It's mental.
51:33Keep doing stupid things like this.
51:43I must admit, I didn't know you'd go in quite so hard as that,
51:53but I think in the end, they understood.
51:57Yep.
52:00Maybe not Mrs Sumi.
52:02Look, it's my job to take the flack.
52:04We'll review the wellbeing provision as soon as possible.
52:07But I think it's important that the message is out.
52:10There's only one person running this school.
52:13We'll crack on tomorrow.
52:14OK.
52:18Um, I just wanted to say,
52:22I didn't mean to overstep earlier.
52:26It's good to have you.
52:27And thank you for having my back.
52:30Well, I'll always have that.
52:40Mr Charles is here with Ashton.
52:44Come in.
52:48Ashton, nice of you to grace us with your presents.
52:50You've caused a lot of trouble today.
52:53Where were you?
52:59He was with me.
53:00Excuse me?
53:01With you?
53:02Where?
53:02Um, well, at lunch, I was looking at your car
53:05and a bolt fell into the engine.
53:08I got my hand stuck and then Ashton heard my shouts, so...
53:12So you're saying that Ashton helped you get your hand
53:14out of the engine of my car.
53:16He was gone all afternoon.
53:18Yeah.
53:18Yeah, it was completely my fault.
53:20Time just got the better of us.
53:22I was showing him the mechanics of the car
53:25and then...
53:26No, I'm sorry.
53:29It was an oversight.
53:30It's more than an oversight, Mr Charles.
53:32I'm amazed that you would think that's appropriate.
53:34Look, I was struggling.
53:36Being at a new school.
53:39We got talking,
53:41me and Mr Charles,
53:42and he showed me that,
53:43well,
53:43I should give this place a chance.
53:46Gosh.
53:47It's like one of those
53:48feel-good daytime movies, isn't it?
53:51Right, it was a big mistake.
53:53And it won't happen again.
53:55I'll say.
53:58Right, well, it's been a long day.
54:00Ashton will go over your behavioural sanctions tomorrow
54:03and Mr Charles.
54:06This needs a serious debrief.
54:10Oh.
54:10Yeah, so thanks for that.
54:22Yeah, I don't even know what I was thinking there.
54:24But I will cover for you
54:25as long as you agree
54:26to keep your head down
54:27and behave.
54:29You'll make the most out of this chance
54:30you've been given, Ashton.
54:32Look, I'm sure you've got a lot to give.
54:35Why not prove your dad wrong?
54:36Oh, there you are.
54:47I've been looking everywhere.
54:49I didn't know you were going to show up.
54:50Oh, I managed to shift around
54:52some of the last patients.
54:53So, how was it?
54:55Well, Ashton,
54:56where have you been?
54:57The car's gone, you know?
54:58Dwayne,
54:59this is me, Mum.
55:01What car?
55:02Erm, yeah,
55:03some car at school.
55:05Erm, a teacher's car.
55:05At lunchtime,
55:06I was helping him fix it.
55:08Erm, but, you know,
55:08some mechanics projects,
55:10proper last minute.
55:11The headteacher was well impressed.
55:13This is Dwayne.
55:14He's, er,
55:15been showing me around.
55:16Proper A-star student,
55:17aren't you, Dwayne?
55:21Your dad's picking us up.
55:22He's bringing the car around.
55:23Yeah.
55:24Well, I just wish I'd have been there.
55:27There was a few faces
55:28at that meeting I'd like to have seen.
55:29Did she really tell him to suck it up?
55:31Er,
55:31she might need to brush up
55:33on her interpersonal skills.
55:34There's probably pitchforks
55:36at the guest tomorrow.
55:37Someone tells me
55:38she can handle it.
55:39Oh, yeah?
55:40You a stellar convert?
55:42Well, you know,
55:43it's nice to have a strong leader
55:44with a helm again, eh?
55:45You know,
55:46takes the pressure off us.
55:47And,
55:47if she is a dragon,
55:48at least she's our dragon.
55:50Oh, hey-oh,
55:51here he is.
55:52Oh,
55:52survived the first day, then.
55:54A few teething problems.
55:56Always going to be a few
55:57pushing the luck.
55:58Yeah,
55:58you can say that again.
56:00Oh,
56:00I know that girl.
56:02That's Celine, right?
56:03Ashton Stone's mother.
56:05She was in with him this morning.
56:07Celine Dixon,
56:08when I knew her.
56:09We went to school together.
56:10I actually went out with her.
56:12Uh-oh.
56:13Oh.
56:14Well,
56:14why don't you,
56:15er,

56:17Yeah,

56:18It didn't really end the best
56:20from what I remember.
56:21She just, er,

56:24Yeah,
