00:30What we got here?
00:39We going on your holly bobs, Nick?
00:40Might not be thinking of doing a moonlight flip.
00:44That's my laundry.
00:45What, you into women's underwear, are you?
00:47Depends who's wearing it.
00:49Look, I told you, you'll have the cash back in a couple of days.
00:53Didn't she say that last time?
00:54Mm.
00:55Kind of feels like you're fobbing us off, Nick.
00:57What we meant to say to our boss.
00:59Tell him, tell him I'm working on it.
01:02If it helps, I can get you a good chunk by the end of today, right?
01:06Don't have to believe you.
01:07Do we look like we're playing?
01:09No.
01:10You look like a pair of Pound Shop Cray twins.
01:12I'll have something for you later now.
01:13Jog on.
01:14Move.
01:14Out the way.
01:15This Waterloo Road?
01:36Well, that's what it says, isn't it?
01:40What if I can't read?
01:42What if I'm partially sighted?
01:45Yeah, well, you're not, though, are you?
01:46Hey.
01:48Never judge a man by his first round.
01:50I thought you weren't going to show.
01:56I promised Miss Campbell I'd talk at this knife crime thing this morning.
01:59I've got to go in and meet Mike first thing.
02:01It's me chaperone, apparently.
02:05As if everyone's not already staring at me.
02:07Get over yourself.
02:09No one cares about me.
02:10Oh, yeah.
02:22What's all this?
02:23Hey.
02:24There for the knitting.
02:26Of course.
02:26Yeah, it's today.
02:28The library's blocked out all morning.
02:30No one bothers Kim unless the building's burning down.
02:33Which, you know, might happen.
02:36These are real special, though, aren't they?
02:37Yes.
02:38Well, there is a reason that I decided to host the knife crime initiative.
02:42No, I just really want people to see that.
02:44I'm not burying my head.
02:45Oh, also, you need to know we've got Lenny Sampson coming in today.
02:49He's an ex-offender, but now he does loads of mentoring work with young people who are at risk.
02:52Andrew recommended him, so I thought I'd give him a go.
02:55He'll need a lanyard.
02:56Yeah.
02:56He'll also need permission to move around the building.
02:58And Danny?
03:00Yeah, Danny.
03:01He's going to have a chaperone with him to appease the governors.
03:03Val just said he's really retreating in on himself now.
03:06I'm hoping that talking about it today might just...
03:08What do you think you're doing?
03:13We're lucky to get, like, a couple of dry muffins to the SMT meeting, so I'm having this.
03:19Lynden.
03:20Not even that good.
03:21Well, I should probably, you know, just see what they taste like.
03:26Dry muffins?
03:27They're never dry.
03:28No, Miss Campbell's office.
03:30Oh, my God.
03:31Yes, she is.
03:32They are amazing.
03:33Yeah.
03:33Hold the line.
03:34I'll just put you through.
03:36Oh!
03:36I've got all things around me.
03:37Who is it?
03:38Ofsted.
03:42Okay.
03:49You're wrong.
03:50Look, that is so cringe, sir.
03:54Oh, shut up.
03:55I love Casey.
03:57Hey, sir, show us your skill, then.
03:58Woo!
04:00Yeah, laughing up, Gen Z.
04:01Like, this guy used to be able to pull a hundred-meter wheelie.
04:04Look at that.
04:05Yeah.
04:06You do you, sir.
04:07Zero shame, innit?
04:08Well, that's a compliment.
04:10Oh.
04:10Oh, you're not going to believe this.
04:18How can she not know that?
04:20Well, just give her a break.
04:22First morning bringing him in.
04:23Oh, come on.
04:24I reminded her when we dropped them off.
04:26I said this sleepover was way too soon, and look at that.
04:30And we both agreed we'd be positive for the boys.
04:32I've got to go meet Danny Lewis.
04:34Just be nice.
04:35Yeah?
04:36Right.
04:37I knew this was a bad idea.
04:39Even though this has been sprung on us, spectacularly,
04:42I know that we can pull this out of the bag, all right?
04:46We have got a lot to be proud of.
04:49Okay.
04:50Um, I'll let you go.
04:51Thank you very much.
04:53Oh, Amy.
04:55Be prepared.
04:56Ofsted may want to speak to you.
04:58Me?
04:58Why?
04:58Well, because you're one of our newest members.
05:00They're going to want to test whether you are well-informed of our expectations,
05:03and it is nothing to worry about, okay?
05:05It is more on us than you.
05:08Okay.
05:08Okay, okay, don't worry.
05:11Joe.
05:12Joe.
05:13I mean, come on, this is...
05:14I know, it's a long story, sorry.
05:16Er, right, what's going on?
05:18Ofsted.
05:19Oh, you...
05:21Right, okay, well, how long we got?
05:23We've got precisely nothing they're going to be here in ten minutes.
05:25What?
05:26Be...
05:27Well, come on, not even a day's notice.
05:30But the good news is it's not a deep dive, it's a monitoring visit.
05:32They just want to check the school's making improvements.
05:34Yeah, I've got Dante doing a recce, making sure no one's vaping by the main entrance.
05:38It's just like, why today?
05:41I'm supposed to be hosting the knife crime meet, and I'm going to have to cancel the first one.
05:45You can't cancel.
05:46Well, that's exactly the kind of thing that we want to be showing off.
05:50Me and Lyndon can show the inspectors round.
05:52Yeah.
05:53Okay.
05:54Okay, we cannot risk going into special measures.
05:57No pressure.
05:59Joe.
06:00Yeah.
06:01Have you seen Danny?
06:02He's had a bag of nerves this morning.
06:04I know he'd really appreciate your support.
06:06Yeah, I'll catch up with him properly when I can.
06:09Moving in with third-year students is the worst mistake I've ever made.
06:132am tunes blazing.
06:15I was literally climbing over bodies this morning.
06:18I've had about three hours, Kip.
06:19Hmm.
06:20Maybe consider moving out.
06:22Yeah, I'm trying, but all my money has gone on deposit and rent.
06:27How am I going to get through this today?
06:29Come on, Neil.
06:32I need you to drop some next-level wisdom on me, yeah?
06:35I'm freaking out.
06:36Well, you see, all this...
06:40Well, the whole thing is really all just a song and dance.
06:47Smoke and mirrors.
06:48It's a farce.
06:49It's a thankless, pointless, bureaucratic exercise of the highest degree.
06:55The key is...
06:57Care less.
06:59Come in, come in.
07:04Sorry, sorry, sorry.
07:06It's my fault.
07:07The boys wanted to stay up, see the end of the film.
07:09It was dead good.
07:11Zombies and this guy's head exploded.
07:13Right.
07:14Sounds appropriate.
07:16Still, I guess the boys should know how to set their own alarms.
07:18Have you eaten?
07:19They said they do breakfast club.
07:22Breakfast club is finished now.
07:24I'm not even hungry anyway, so it's fine.
07:26Right, well, you will be mid-morning when you're struggling to concentrate.
07:29Come on, inside now.
07:30Both of you.
07:31See you soon, boys.
07:32Come here.
07:32Come.
07:35Okay.
07:35Yeah.
07:36See you.
07:36All right.
07:37Bye.
07:37Come on.
07:39Bye.
07:43Look, if you need to step out of this meeting at any point, take a breather.
07:47Just let me know, yeah?
07:48I will.
07:49Hey, hey, you, you both look like you've slept in those uniforms.
07:52Have you had a wash?
07:53We'll have a shower tonight.
07:55Right.
07:56Well, have you had a good time?
07:57Did you?
07:57You had fun?
07:59Yeah, but I missed home.
08:02Right.
08:02You too.
08:03Get yourself off to class, yeah?
08:05Come on, quick.
08:06Move it.
08:07Danny, you okay?
08:08Yeah, fine.
08:09Yeah, right, listen, I'll chat to you later.
08:10I've just got to have a quick word.
08:12Come on.
08:16She was wearing slippers, Mike.
08:19Slippers.
08:20Okay, I think we can hold off on the judgment for a pair of slippers.
08:22They haven't had any breakfast, right?
08:25Like, did you see Dwayne's face?
08:26He didn't exactly look happy, did he?
08:28Something just feels, I don't know.
08:30Joe, just give her time.
08:34Give her time.
08:37What was it like, then?
08:39Is it worth stopping over?
08:42You coming?
08:44Just got to go to my locker.
08:46Tell me later, then.
08:47No, wait, your leg's free.
08:54Yeah, tell me about it.
08:55I hated that thing.
08:56You need help with your bag or something?
08:58This is my first day without my boot.
09:01I don't need some kid following me around.
09:04Sorry.
09:04Ex-headmistress.
09:12Down south.
09:12I'm thinking traditional.
09:15Hmm, yeah.
09:18You okay?
09:19What?
09:20Yeah.
09:21No, yeah, fine.
09:22Honestly.
09:22Here we go.
09:24Morning.
09:25Mrs. Doubleday.
09:26Erm, Mr. Cribbins.
09:28Kim Campbell.
09:29Head.
09:29And this is...
09:32Oh, that's Joel Casey, deputy.
09:35Pleasure.
09:35And my other deputy, Mr. King, will be joining us shortly.
09:39He's just doing a handover in the science lab,
09:41but I do actually have to start with an apology, though.
09:43I've actually got a meeting this morning.
09:44It's the school's knife crime initiative, and...
09:46Not to worry.
09:47The purpose of a monitoring visit is to find you exactly as you are.
09:52Excellent.
09:53Okay, well, I will leave you in the very capable hands of my deputies,
09:56and I look forward to catching up with you both later.
09:58Okay.
09:59Thanks, Kim.
10:00Er, while we wait for Mr. King,
10:02perhaps I could talk you through the initiative over a...
10:05cafe?
10:06I'm afraid we need to begin our observation straight away, Mr. Casey.
10:09We'll have a senior management meeting this afternoon.
10:12Just a map and a lesson schedule will do.
10:16Okay, great.
10:17Yeah, well, er...
10:17Mrs. Whitwell's kindly drawn up an itinerary.
10:20No need.
10:20I prefer to go off plan.
10:24I wouldn't say no to a quick brew and a vicky.
10:26Yeah, well, er...
10:28Mrs. Whitwell is actually head of biscuits,
10:31so if you just want to head through to the office there,
10:32she'll sort you out,
10:33and Mr. King will be right with you.
10:39I can help you get to the department that you need to be at, if that.
10:42No need.
10:44Ah, Nerula.
10:45Miss Doubleday.
10:45This is Nerula, one of our Year 9 students.
10:48As-salamu alaykum.
10:49Wa alaykum as-salam, Mr. Casey.
10:50Miss Doubleday.
10:52Desingay?
10:53Zaheim.
10:54Manana desingay.
10:55Rirrochdoshit anachkari.
10:58Yeah.
10:59Begher.
11:01Begher.
11:02Yeah.
11:03If you go...
11:04Ah.
11:04Marvellous to be able to communicate in the child's own language.
11:09Oh, yeah, completely agree.
11:11I'm still brushing up on my pash, too,
11:12but all in a day's work of a language as teacher.
11:14Get a move on, Dwayne.
11:16Oh, that's, er, Dwayne, my foster son, there.
11:19You gonna let me go, then?
11:22Er, can I catch you up?
11:24Is that OK?
11:25Yeah.
11:26Er, Dwayne, could I...
11:27Borrow you for a second.
11:31Just in here.
11:32Keep going.
11:33Turn right.
11:34Brilliant.
11:35Right.
11:36That...
11:37was an Ostend, Inspector.
11:39I'm gonna need you on your best behaviour.
11:40Come on.
11:41All right.
11:42Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
11:43Hang on.
11:44Is everything all right?
11:46Yeah, why?
11:46I'm just a bit worried that things are moving a little bit too fast with your mum.
11:51Zah, I just want to make sure that you and Zane are all right.
11:54I've got to go.
11:55You've got to...
11:55No, Dwayne, come on.
11:56Just give me a second.
11:57Whoa!
11:59Whoa, whoa, whoa, calm down, mate.
12:01What's going on here?
12:02Nothing, right?
12:03You all right, sir?
12:04Yes, I'm fine.
12:05You sure?
12:05Stop, that's all right.
12:07We're not gonna make this into a wet paper towel.
12:09That was a bit of a...
12:10That was a bit of a...
12:10Guys, you get to a...
12:12You keep your voices down on the toilet right now.
12:14I'm sorry, sir.
12:15I'm sorry, sir.
12:17I'm so grateful that we've all managed to find time in our diaries to come together as a group of people
12:24who all care passionately about the same thing.
12:27You know, there's so much knowledge around this table and I am here to listen and to learn.
12:33Shall we make some introductions?
12:37Lenny Sampson.
12:38Within Shore Boy.
12:3911 years total at Her Majesty's Pleasure.
12:41I've spent the last decade of my life devoting my time to giving talks and workshops with the most at-risk kids.
12:50I've worked with Tyrese and Ange at different points and I'm well known in the community and the youth centres of Manchester.
12:57This is Danny Lewis.
13:03He is an ex-pupil of Waterloo Road, now attending Peru.
13:08He has agreed to share his experiences as someone who's been involved in knife crime,
13:14who is now looking to reflect and move forward.
13:21Now listen, we've already had one late mark today, which resulted in a sanction.
13:26So let that be a warning.
13:32Today we dress smart, we act smart.
13:36Who knows, we might even be a little smart.
13:39Savage.
13:40We shall also be researching in silence in order to complete our chronology worksheets in front of us.
13:48Sorry to interrupt, Mr Gaffrey.
13:50This is Mr Cribbins from Ofsted.
13:53Did you say you taught history?
13:54Oh, it was a passion of mine. I've never taught.
13:58I'm afraid I have a class, but we can pick up again next period.
14:02Anything else you need, Miss Whitwell will see to it.
14:05Thank you, Mr King.
14:07Would you like a seat somewhere?
14:09Neil?
14:11It's Harry.
14:12Harry Cribbins!
14:16I didn't recognise you.
14:19How long's it been?
14:2125 years since you got my bright-eyed, bushy-tailed, newly qualified.
14:25Still at it, I see, so it didn't completely wring out your enthusiasm.
14:28Oh, no, I always say my first teaching job was the best job I ever had.
14:32You came ready-made.
14:34Wish half the teachers I see had the same subject knowledge.
14:37Oh, hang about.
14:39Um, is this a conflict of interest?
14:42I don't think you can observe me.
14:44Oh, can you be bothered?
14:46You have to draft someone else in?
14:48You're a cratic nightmare.
14:49Tell you what, I'll slip out quietly and we'll keep stum.
14:53I'm already assured that you're, er, safe bet.
14:57Hmm.
14:58Well, would save me putting on a show today.
15:01Catch you for some lunch?
15:02Yes!
15:02We've established what the purpose of these soliloquies are.
15:13To let the reader know how he is feeling.
15:16And, of course, Hamlet is miserable by now.
15:19He outlines a long list of the miseries of the human experience.
15:25Heartbreak.
15:26Hard work.
15:28Political oppression.
15:28He asks, who would choose this?
15:40He answers himself again by saying...
15:45To die.
15:47To sleep.
15:49To sleep perchance to dream.
15:51A, there's the rub.
15:53For in that sleep of death what dreams may come.
15:55And, erm, what does he mean by that, Miles?
15:59It means his life has become so unbearable that he dreams of death.
16:03But what if death is when long, nightmarish dreams?
16:06Ooh!
16:08That's sad vibes, that miss.
16:11Excellent, Miles.
16:13You can all open your books.
16:15We will be exploring this in today's lesson.
16:18Now, sir, erm, Noel said that Dwayne pushed you before.
16:22Is that true?
16:22Because I'm not on that.
16:23Excuse me?
16:24No, I don't think that is...
16:26No, sit down.
16:26No, sit down.
16:26Right, Noel, settle down.
16:28Mad, yeah?
16:29Not today, thank you.
16:31Sit down.
16:31No, sit down.
16:33Quiet!
16:37Let's start annotating our texts.
16:42We're looking at concurrent themes between Hamlet and Twelfth Night.
16:47The fact is that youthies, community centres, are being closed down and they have been for years.
16:59Now, the kids that we see, they're the ones that believe that nobody wants them.
17:05So, they're excluded from school and now they're excluded from society.
17:10I bet that's how Danny feels.
17:14For me, I was excluded in year eight, having weed on me.
17:19But then by year nine, I was in youth offenders.
17:22Now, the kids being excluded, they are the ones on free school meals.
17:26These are kids, not adults, children.
17:32And for most of them, coming to school is the only time they will see a normal adult, not one who's off their cake.
17:39But it's not Miss Campbell's fault.
17:42She did everything she could.
17:45Honestly, I don't think she could have done anything more.
17:48I hear you, Danny.
17:51I do.
17:53And sometimes there is nothing that can be done.
17:55There's too much going on out there.
17:57But there is a window of opportunity between boyhood and manhood.
18:02And most of that time is spent here.
18:06This school was the light in the dark, yeah?
18:10This school was safe.
18:14I loved it.
18:16Miss Campbell.
18:16She brought me back to do me resits.
18:21I were even going to play guitar in the end of term show.
18:24I had everything here.
18:26But I was the one that blew it.
18:29Me.
18:33I think that we can agree that school is a big piece of the puzzle.
18:39And it is our duty to do whatever we can to change the narrative.
18:46Oh, what's this?
18:57Jumbo sale?
18:58Don't sneak.
19:00It's break.
19:01Yes, I know.
19:02I've got to get back to work.
19:03What are you doing?
19:05It's that app you can sell your clothes on.
19:07Need to get rid of this stuff and fast.
19:09What with that background and this lighting?
19:12Hand it over to the professionals.
19:14I'll worry about this.
19:14You go back in there.
19:16You sure?
19:17Yeah.
19:18Right.
19:18Well, thank you so much.
19:20This is the stuff I've already listed.
19:21Yeah.
19:22And just do whatever you can with that.
19:24Got it.
19:24Yeah?
19:24Okay.
19:25Cool.
19:25You're a star.
19:27Very vintage.
19:34And the playground, obviously.
19:37We like to encourage the students to take part in all aspects of the school.
19:40They're actually doing a fundraiser for our wishing tree charity.
19:44They're doing the fun run.
19:46You might have sold the wishing tree, actually.
19:48It's just in the four years.
19:48How many supervisors on duty?
19:51Er, three to four, usually.
19:53We do like to practice a relaxed vigilance.
19:56It sort of builds a culture of trust with us and them.
19:59Miles, is it?
20:00It is, yeah.
20:01I thought you remembered Hamlet beautifully.
20:04Well, believe it or not, I'm familiar with tragedy.
20:08Yes, Miles had a unfortunate accident.
20:10Mr Casey's foster son Duane.
20:12You snap my leg playing footy?
20:14I'm not sure if I'll ever play again.
20:16We're supporting Miles through his recovery.
20:18Obviously, er, a very promising problem.
20:20I'm really sorry to interrupt, but if you'll excuse me.
20:23It takes me a while for me to get to my next lesson.
20:32Your foster son?
20:35It's an innocuous challenge.
20:37Duane didn't mean to go in on him.
20:39It was, he was here, he was here, and they just sort of clashed in.
20:42Mr Casey, the students seem to be under the impression that Duane pushed you.
20:47No, no, no.
20:48Duane's a lovely boy.
20:49The students like to participate in banter and a bit of jive.
20:52But you're the deputy.
20:54Mm.
20:54Yeah.
20:55Oh.
20:56Sorry, sir!
20:57Oh.
20:58Oh.
20:58Oh.
21:01It's Strouda.
21:02You have, um, no, no, no, no, it's fine, that, it's fine, it's okay, don't we?
21:08Um, Tonya, could you, would you mind watching Mrs. Double Day while I, er, yes, you, while
21:12I, just need to sort myself out, for one second.
21:14I'm doubling it like a champ, sir.
21:18Yeah.
21:20That's still there.
21:23You good?
21:24Yeah.
21:24Keep in love.
21:25Good.
21:26Good, good, good, good, good, good.
21:27Okay.
21:28Okay.
21:29Well, Mrs. Double Day wanted blood.
21:35Evidence of rewards, sanctions, all my SEN EAL pupils.
21:40Sounds like you've got a flight with getting Mr. Clibbius.
21:43Oh, I don't know about that.
21:44I think maybe he just chimed with my style.
21:47No surprises there.
21:49Peas in a pod, you two.
21:51What does that mean?
21:52Oh, nothing.
21:53I'm just feeling a bit deflated.
21:55He was just a traditionalist.
21:57An old grump, you mean.
22:00Hey, he's a lot older than me.
22:02He came into my class for 15 minutes, scowled at me, then just left without saying a word.
22:08Why do they have to make it so demoralising?
22:16Hey, Neil.
22:19What am I going to do if even they're finding it hard?
22:22Oh, for goodness sake, Amy.
22:24You'll be fine.
22:25Just do what you always do.
22:28Give it beans.
22:30You're a performer, aren't you?
22:32Perform.
22:33Perform.
22:40You're a million-dollar mess, honey.
22:43I'm out here smiling with no pants on me.
22:46You got a pocket full of cash money, dance money.
22:49Still you're stuck in no sunny.
22:51Working hard to block me out for good.
22:53Excuse me.
22:55You're supposed to be up at me shift this lot and not have your own personal fashion show.
22:59Er, rude.
23:00I've listed everything and sold four things already.
23:04You're kidding.
23:05Mm-hmm.
23:05Look.
23:05Oh, Kai, you are an actual lifesaver.
23:10You have no idea.
23:11Thirty quid for that dress.
23:12Mm-hmm.
23:13That's amazing.
23:14And we just hope it all goes.
23:16It definitely will.
23:16I mean, some of these things still have tags on this.
23:20This is going to get you a fortune.
23:24Go on, take it.
23:27I can't.
23:28Don't behave.
23:29It's clearly made for you.
23:30You can't not.
23:31Take it as a thank you.
23:33Just do me a favour.
23:35Don't tell our Preston about all this.
23:36You know what he's like.
23:37He'll only start worrying.
23:39Mm-hmm.
23:39How is that son of mine anyway?
23:41How do you mean?
23:43Well, blood from a stone springs to mind.
23:46He's made it very clear he doesn't want me sticking my nose in with you two.
23:49But it'd be nice to know he's happy.
23:53I think so.
23:53I'm happy.
23:55Right, not quite sure what's going on here, but Kai, it is a study period.
23:59That means study.
24:00So, go on.
24:01Burn my noose.
24:03Ciao.
24:08Oh, you've got to be joking.
24:09What are you looking for?
24:11Do not make a big thing of this, right?
24:15Look at that.
24:17No.
24:18No, no.
24:19Nikki, right, it's not funny.
24:20I'll study her in and I need your help.
24:21Come on.
24:22Please, help.
24:23Yeah, I've tried this one, babes.
24:26I'm here, right?
24:27I am here.
24:27I'm here.
24:28Please.
24:29Miss Campbell?
24:31Sorry, excuse me.
24:32Good news, there's no major incident so far.
24:34I think Mrs Doubleday is heading to the canteen soon, so...
24:37All right, okay, I'll head up there.
24:40How is this?
24:42Do you know what?
24:42It was really good.
24:43It was really good.
24:44Lenny just really brought the discussion to life.
24:46In fact, let me introduce you.
24:48I'm not even messing with you.
24:50Lenny, Mr Samson, this is Mr King, my deputy.
24:54I'll leave you to say hello to each other.
24:57I heard this was very useful.
24:59We got stuck in, didn't we?
25:01I wish more schools did stuff like this.
25:03Most places are like an iron fortress.
25:05No substitute for real experience and understanding.
25:08Danny remembers me as the one that was always on at him.
25:11I say it's the people that give you a hard time that have really got your back.
25:15I bet it took a lot to be here today.
25:18I really respect the positive steps you're taking.
25:21I know it's not easy.
25:22That's what I like to see.
25:27Proper boot learning.
25:28There's no need for bells and whistles.
25:30I didn't see you.
25:31You on for lunch?
25:32Indeed.
25:33You know, I really do miss the old days.
25:36Well, silent corridors, silent lessons.
25:39You'll remember what a passion that was of mine.
25:41Well, hopefully, you'll have an enjoyable afternoon.
25:44Not likely.
25:46I mean, putting off drama, I'll have to do it eventually.
25:49Even the thought of it's giving me a dick.
25:51Miss Spratt.
25:52You know, she's got bags of enthusiasm.
25:54Yeah, that's what I'm afraid of.
25:55An ECT, too.
25:57So no doubt it'll be jazz hands of intolerable proportions.
26:01I might just pop an ibuprofen now.
26:04They all get, er...
26:07Requires vast improvement from me.
26:10Go on, let's eat.
26:16Lenny, thank you again for today.
26:19It's really beneficial having your voice.
26:22Do you need to leave now?
26:23You asking me out to lunch?
26:26Well, no.
26:27I was wondering if you were open to spending some more time with Danny.
26:31I could make the library available for you both.
26:33Get another teacher to sit in.
26:35I'm sure I could arrange it with your pru.
26:38You fancy getting some dinner here?
26:41Whatever.
26:45Job's a good one.
26:46Come in.
26:59I heard you've been flashing students, you filthy animal.
27:11Er, yep.
27:13And now I'm wearing Nicky Walter's cast-off sweatpants.
27:19Let me see.
27:20Don't.
27:30Wow.
27:30No, Mike, don't, please.
27:32I'm not in the mood.
27:34What's wrong?
27:36I really think something's wrong with Dwayne.
27:38I tried to speak to him earlier, and the way he reacted, I just...
27:41I just think something went on, Mike.
27:45Like what?
27:46Like what if she was drinking?
27:48Like, no, what if we'd let them be around, that?
27:51I think you jumped me to a conclusion.
27:53Am I?
27:54You didn't see how he was with me.
27:57Like, maybe that's why they were up so late.
27:59And the slippers.
28:01Does that seem like a functional human being to you?
28:03I just came to ask for some money to top up our lunch accounts.
28:13Dwayne, can we...
28:14You just don't give up, do you?
28:16You only want to think the worst for her, yeah?
28:19Well, you tell me.
28:20Why are you being so off?
28:21Because of you.
28:22Me?
28:23I mean, yeah, you act all weird whenever someone mentions her name
28:25and you've got nothing good to say about her.
28:27I think that's true.
28:29Come on, come on, and be a little overprotective.
28:31Oh, we don't need your protection.
28:33Social services wouldn't have let her see her if she weren't all right.
28:37Look, we just saved this from...
28:38I can be a little wary.
28:40She's been gone a long time.
28:41She had problems.
28:42But we've all got problems.
28:43We don't just forget that we have children.
28:47He doesn't mean that.
28:50I'm sorry, right?
28:55All we've tried to do is give you love and stability.
28:58That's why we're adopting you.
28:59That's all you care about.
29:01You just want her out the way, don't you?
29:03You know, that is not what I'm saying.
29:04You don't get it.
29:05I don't want your stupid adoption.
29:13I'll go.
29:18Dwayne?
29:20Did you get the money?
29:22Dwayne?
29:23What's going on?
29:26All right, it's okay.
29:28Dwayne?
29:28This ain't coming.
29:45Is this something that you both want?
29:51Dwayne?
29:52What?
29:53Dwayne says he doesn't want it.
29:54Dwayne says he doesn't want it.
29:59Is that how you feel as well?
30:01I don't know.
30:02Why?
30:04Sorry, I shouldn't have said anything.
30:06Um, sweetie, I need to go and sort your lunch money out.
30:10I don't get it.
30:13I do not get this.
30:15It's just for today.
30:16We need to show off our healthy menu.
30:18Okay, miss, but you can't do this to me.
30:20Look, I'm begging you, yeah?
30:21Miss Walter's calzone, pure perfection.
30:23All right, Noel.
30:24I'm sure some greens won't kill you.
30:25It's not even that.
30:26Yes, go on, sir.
30:34No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
30:36Did you see that?
30:38I don't know.
30:39What are you doing?
30:41What are you doing?
30:42Shut up!
30:48Well, it's all just a joke to you, is it?
30:50You think you can just do whatever the hell you want?
30:51Well, because I have a laugh with you.
30:53You just get away with it.
30:54Am I just a joke?
30:56Hey?
30:57Right, well, today actually means something to the teachers who put the hours in.
31:01Who fight your corner despite all the crap that you throw at us.
31:05And all we ask is that you treat us with a shred of dignity and respect.
31:12That you treat us like bloody human beings.
31:22I'm sorry.
31:23I'm so sorry.
31:24I'm sorry.
31:26I'm sorry.
31:27I'm sorry.
31:27I'm sorry.
31:28I'm sorry.
31:28I'm sorry.
31:28I'm sorry.
31:29Right.
31:30You will sit in silence for the remainder of lunch, unless Mrs. Doubleday wishes to speak
31:37to you.
31:37Um, if you'd please excuse me.
31:43I don't know what you're talking about.
31:46I don't know what you're talking about.
31:48What was all that about?
31:50Well, shut up.
31:51It's not even about anything.
31:52Obviously something's happened.
31:53It's not.
31:53Shut up.
31:54All right, sir.
31:56What's the problem, what's the problem, what's the problem?
31:58What's the problem?
31:59You have to do something, sir?
32:03Excuse me, judge.
32:04I've got to be.
32:06I'm going to take it, thank you.
32:10Mr Casey.
32:11Okay.
32:13Everybody inside.
32:14Go.
32:15Mr Casey.
32:17Joe.
32:19I'm fine.
32:19I'm fine, I'm fine.
32:27It's okay.
32:29Don't have to say anything.
32:32We'll just...
32:34Calm down here, alright?
32:49You don't have to stay here with me, you know.
33:09You're joking, aren't you?
33:11I love school dinners, me.
33:13Hey, you reckon they'll do us jam roly-poly?
33:19What was it like?
33:23Prison?
33:25Wow.
33:27Straight for the jugular, eh?
33:31Prison's the boring stuff.
33:33Ask me somewhat better.
33:39How did you turn it all around?
33:43I broke into a house once.
33:45And the man woke up.
33:47He's in his 70s.
33:49We're stood in his kitchen.
33:51Even in me mask.
33:53He recognises me.
33:55Leonard?
33:57Is that you?
33:59It turns out it's me old geography teacher, Mr Richards.
34:03And you know what he said to me?
34:05Are you okay, son?
34:07No one had ever asked me that.
34:09He sold something to me deep.
34:13It was still there even when I were locked up.
34:15This spark of the man I wanted to be.
34:19What?
34:21A teacher?
34:23No!
34:25Divvy.
34:27Someone who gives people like me hope.
34:29That's what people like Mr King are doing for you.
34:31He gets you.
34:33He gets where you're coming from.
34:35He's looking out for you.
34:37He's looking out for you.
34:39In his own way.
34:41Look Danny.
34:43I'm not gonna sit here and tell you everything's gonna be okay.
34:51You cannot escape your past.
34:55But you can use it.
34:59Even the bad stuff.
35:01Don't forget to eat.
35:11Tar?
35:13How are you getting on?
35:15Have you not had one in yet?
35:17No, not yet.
35:18I'm still bricking it.
35:19I just don't wanna let the whole school down, you know?
35:21It would just be me, wouldn't it?
35:23Well, maybe it's more about just keeping it simple, you know?
35:29Just read a script.
35:31You don't need all the bells and whistles.
35:33Neil, you literally just told me to do what I do best.
35:37This is it.
35:38Come on, you know Greek tragedies are turgid and dry
35:41unless you get them on their feet.
35:43I have to bring it alive for them.
35:52No, no, Casey's the most lit teacher.
35:54Like, he never loses his rag.
35:56He's just proper decent.
35:58Like, um...
35:59He doesn't usually shout, so...
36:01He's actually the one who got me out of the BU, so I like it.
36:04Yeah, and he's been really supportive of all my problems at home.
36:07What happened?
36:08I don't know.
36:09I've never seen him react like that.
36:11Lyndon went after him.
36:13He's not gonna get the sack, is he?
36:15I just thought the boys were happy, you know?
36:28It feels...
36:29It feels...
36:30...so unfair.
36:31You...
36:32You try to walk the line.
36:33You try to treat people well.
36:36And where does it get you?
36:37She just...
36:38...swoops in and takes him away.
36:45You know, I...
36:46More like you, I...
36:47Like me?
36:49Yeah.
36:50You know, like...
36:51...harder...
36:55...tougher, less of a pushover.
36:57Oh, God.
37:04Kim...
37:05...completely messed up with Ofsted.
37:10He wasn't that bad.
37:15Look, things don't always work out the way we hope.
37:19Look at me.
37:21Living in the studio flat.
37:23Seeing the kids on the weekend.
37:24It was just the way that he said it.
37:29It was like...
37:31...nothing that we've ever done.
37:36It's like none of it mattered.
37:39I know you've done your best behind them.
37:42Got them off from scared little kids.
37:46It's what I see you do every day.
37:49With the kids here.
37:52It's why they come to you.
37:55They trust you.
37:58And before you say it...
38:00...you'll not leave it.
38:02Because then they'll expect me to be the empathetic, understanding one.
38:05And you know that's not gonna work.
38:08Okay?
38:12I just, like...
38:13I just wanted something for myself.
38:14For once.
38:16I wanted Lisa gone.
38:19I know that sounds awful.
38:21I...
38:22It's human.
38:24You're hurt and angry, but you can't let that stop you from doing the right thing.
38:29Mm.
38:31Dwayne's probably just as confused as you are.
38:33He needs you to step up and be there.
38:36Yeah.
38:38Even if it's not exactly how you imagined.
38:43How am I gonna walk back in there?
38:45Well...
38:46We should probably start by doing something about your trousers.
38:52They are very yellow.
39:03You okay?
39:05Yeah.
39:06Yeah, alright.
39:08Okay.
39:09Let's hear it, sir.
39:10Yeah.
39:17He's in your office.
39:19Oh, I'm so sorry to keep you waiting.
39:22I was just doing the usual, you know, putting out fires.
39:25Lonely at the top?
39:27Yeah.
39:28Yeah, something like that.
39:30So, how was it?
39:31How did it go?
39:32Oh, he's a good lad.
39:33I recognise a lot of meself in him.
39:35He's obviously feeling quite lost right now, but...
39:39He's really switched on.
39:41Yeah.
39:42He is.
39:43He really listened.
39:44You can tell he wants to turn his life around.
39:45Having the will is half the battle.
39:48I think he's gonna be okay.
39:50Yeah.
39:51Yeah, I hope so.
39:53He is the pee under my pillow, that kid.
39:57Well...
39:59I'll let you get back to your business.
40:01Yeah.
40:15Boo!
40:20What do you think?
40:22You look like an emu.
40:23Why are you lying for?
40:24You know I look good.
40:28Where's it from?
40:30Well, they do say you end up marrying your mum.
40:35My mums.
40:37Why?
40:38I hope to sell some clothes online.
40:40She gave me this as a thank you.
40:42Mmm.
40:43Proper Mrs Walters bonding time.
40:45No, you weren't talking about me, were you?
40:51The world doesn't revolve around you, Preston Walters.
40:55Look, I was just telling her how much I like you.
40:57I just...
40:58I don't want you to slip up and...
41:01I want to tell her my...
41:03business.
41:05No, that's between us.
41:06Get off.
41:07Sorry.
41:08What do you think I am?
41:10I would never tell.
41:13Now.
41:14Are you gonna tell me...
41:16how fabulous I look, or what?
41:20Swear down.
41:21I'm not coming near you in that thing.
41:23You lit it up.
41:24Don't you dare.
41:25No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
41:26I'm trying to work.
41:35An appalling fate of a human eye to witness.
41:40An appalling sight of the worst I've ever seen.
41:43Oh, you poor man!
41:45What madness came on you!
41:47What eternal force pounced on your life
41:50and springing further than the longest leap
41:52you brought me this awful doom.
41:54Alas, alas, you unhappy man!
41:56I cannot look on you!
41:58Oh, guys, that was great! Wow!
42:00Did you feel that?
42:01We were all beginning to move and sound as one.
42:03That's excellent!
42:05Miss Spratt, you need to take a call in the office.
42:08Well, Neil, I've got, um, Ofsted in.
42:11Er, just tell them I'll call them back.
42:13Yeah, no, it's, it's very important.
42:15You need to go.
42:16Now, go on.
42:17But, Neil...
42:19Just trust me.
42:20I'll cover.
42:21It's fine.
42:24Oh, all right, take these.
42:26Erm, I'll be quick.
42:30You acting, sir?
42:32No, no, no.
42:33I'd be a better place to give you some insight into ancient Greece.
42:38If you just, erm, sit for a moment.
42:44Well, okay.
42:46Yeah, I'm covering.
42:50I just, erm...
42:53I just wanted to say, Harry...
42:56I don't think you should be inspecting teachers based on personal taste.
43:01Sorry?
43:03I don't want to make this awkward.
43:05Well, don't.
43:07And might I remind you, I'm an inspector.
43:10Well, might I remind you that you failed to declare you knew me.
43:15And you basically told me you'd give me a good mark.
43:19And you've never even seen me teach for 25 years.
43:22Gosh.
43:24You really got quite pious in your old age, didn't you?
43:28Well, I'm here to inspect drama.
43:31And that's exactly what I will do.
43:34You'd better inspect me, then.
43:36Because I'm teaching this class.
43:40And if you write an unfair report on Miss Spratt...
43:43Well, I'll have no choice but to be truthful about what went on here today.
43:48I'll have no sense on here today.
44:12How you doing?
44:14Yeah, yeah, I'm okay now.
44:15Yeah, don't...
44:17Don't worry about me, I'm fine.
44:19And thank you for being so...
44:21calm with everything.
44:28Is it you?
44:29Okay.
44:31Got in.
44:36I'll, erm...
44:38I'll give you two some time alone, okay?
44:39Right.
44:51Excuse the, er...
44:53delightful sweatpants.
44:57Look, I didn't want this hanging over us.
45:02You were right.
45:04You were absolutely right.
45:05It's all about my feelings, and that was completely wrong.
45:09You are meant to feel safe with us.
45:12And I need you to know that...
45:15whatever you want...
45:18it's okay.
45:19I don't want to hurt you.
45:23I know how much you've done for us.
45:28You gave us a proper home.
45:31And we've been dead happy.
45:35It's just that's my mum.
45:40Now she ain't perfect.
45:41But I can't give up on her when she's trying.
45:50Yeah.
45:51Then...
45:53Then we will...
45:56do whatever it takes to support you, see, you know?
45:59Yeah.
46:03Wherever you need.
46:04This nameless visitor I can't resist.
46:07Swept here by fair and fatal winds.
46:11Alas for me.
46:13And yet again, alas for me.
46:15The agony of stabbing brooches pierces me.
46:18The memory of aching shame.
46:35So smashed that!
46:37Might have done a bit of ham-dram.
46:40Oi!
46:41Has he left?
46:42There was no call at the office.
46:44Really?
46:45Weird.
46:46What's going on?
46:47Well, I don't know.
46:48Maybe they met Carl.
46:53Bye, miss.
46:54See you later, eh?
46:55See you later.
47:07Hey, big man!
47:08What are you crying for, eh?
47:10Just cos your old man went off the deep end.
47:14He's not my dad.
47:15Adopted dad or whatever, you know what I mean?
47:17Not even that.
47:18Why, what do you mean?
47:20Oi!
47:22I'm only messing with you, okay?
47:24I do feel bad for him, I really do.
47:27I think everyone does.
47:29Sorry, it's none of my business, right?
47:33Joe told me that Duane said he doesn't want us to get adopted.
47:37Don't you?
47:38Don't you?
47:39Things have been good since we were with them.
47:41Yeah.
47:43Duane hasn't even asked you yet, has he?
47:46No.
47:49Oh, that is proper slime.
47:51Look, I'm not being funny, but in a few years he'll be done.
47:54Gone.
47:55And you'll be the one living in the house of your alky mum, you understand?
47:59So you've got to stand up to him.
48:01Don't let him ruin your life too.
48:03I've explained to Mrs. Doubleday, so please don't let me down.
48:13Er, can you do me a pot of tea please?
48:15Three cups.
48:16Do you know?
48:19Mrs. Doubleday, I, erm...
48:23I owe you an apology.
48:25What, what you saw earlier was unprofessional and, and totally inappropriate.
48:30I really hope that my actions won't affect the school.
48:34I've had some, erm...
48:37Sorry, I've had some personal issues that have just spilled over.
48:41I've explained myself to Miss Campbell and I'll do the same to the students.
48:44I will take whatever steps are necessary.
48:47It did overstep the mark, Mr Casey.
48:50And will of course need to be mentioned in my report.
48:53Yeah.
48:54But, fortunately, there have been plenty of positive sentiments from the students.
48:59I had to take some time off work myself last year.
49:05Does give you a different view.
49:14All done.
49:15Smack's back.
49:19Thanks, Wendy.
49:29Hey!
49:30Are you gonna tell me what went on before?
49:35And don't fog me off telling me there's a call for Coral or Val or anyone else because I checked.
49:41I'm not sure what to tell you. I was just passing on a message.
49:43No-one passed you a message.
49:48Alright, look.
49:50I knew that you were never gonna get a first shot from that inspector, okay?
49:54How?
49:55I just knew that he was gonna do an observation that didn't accurately reflect what an extremely capable ECT you are.
50:05I can't see him being in a job much longer once Ofsted find out about his behaviour.
50:09Oh.
50:11So, you had my back?
50:14Thanks.
50:16What happened to caring less?
50:18Ah.
50:19Maybe I was just being a bit of a grouch this morning.
50:21Well, it certainly looked like you enjoyed it. You were really going for it.
50:24Give over.
50:25No, it was nice to see you that way, Neil.
50:27Just letting go and having fun with it.
50:29And the kids loved it.
50:30Yeah, well, maybe I did get a bit of a buzz out of it.
50:33This might surprise you, but, er, I didn't always used to be this stale.
50:38I was a wide-eyed, newly qualified two once.
50:41Yeah? What happened?
50:43Sorry.
50:45Anyway, back to the house, let's...
50:48You not seeing anything?
50:50No. God, they're all stupidly expensive.
51:00Look, this probably won't work and is a bad idea in every way, shape or form.
51:13And no doubt you don't want a 50-year-old housemate who goes to bed at 10pm every night
51:17and really, really needs the toilet roll hanging the correct way round.
51:22But I've got a spare room.
51:25We could trial it.
51:26Beards are good. Mullets are bad.
51:32That's how you know which way round to hang the toilet paper.
51:38The room's yours.
51:40Are you serious?
51:41I don't know. Maybe.
51:42Oh, thank you. Thank you, Neil.
51:45Right, I'm gonna start packing up all my teddies and chews.
51:51Drama teacher for a housemate.
51:53Do let me know how that goes.
52:06And breathe.
52:13The verdict?
52:14Uh, soul-destroying and exhausting.
52:20Don't know.
52:22Do you know, it wasn't all bad.
52:23They were impressed with our pastoral care and with the BU.
52:28But there were obviously very lengthy recommendations.
52:32But do you know what, actually, considering the fact that they just parachuted in, I think that we did really, really well.
52:41Right, why don't you two get yourselves off home and rest.
52:45Are we not settling in for a lengthy debrief?
52:46Er, no, I think we should just wait for the actual report to come out.
52:50Okay?
52:51Go on. Home.
52:58What happened to the joggers?
53:00I burnt them.
53:02Shame.
53:03Just your colour, that banana yellow.
53:05I thought it would be okay, you know, whatever happens.
53:07No, it wouldn't be very good.
53:08No, it wouldn't be very good.
53:09Oh, okay.
53:10Sir, one sec.
53:11Wait, wait, wait.
53:12Wait, wait, wait.
53:14What are we doing?
53:16Wait, wait, wait.
53:18I'm ready.
53:20So, we are making a peaceful protest for you, because we love you and we just don't really want to see you go.
53:27And there's no need to be, like, all dramatic with it, because, sir, I did like them pants.
53:32Okay, I am not leaving, right, so we can all get up off the ground.
53:40It won't!
53:41Yeah, stop ruining your uniforms, get off.
53:42Come on, then!
53:43You won't even go in your muppet.
53:45Sir, you can't leave anyway before you see me finish, because I'm, like, your prodigy.
53:49Prodigy?
53:50Protigy?
53:51I don't know.
53:52Hi.
53:53I'm really happy to see you stay.
53:55Come on.
53:56See?
53:57Someone does like you round here, then.
53:58Er, don't start.
53:59Thank you very much.
54:00You want to like sausage?
54:01Yeah.
54:02Right, well, today has been a lot for everyone, so I think we'll need to go home, chill, and,
54:15when you're both ready, we can talk about how we move things forward with your mum.
54:20That it?
54:21You're just gonna give us back?
54:23What are you on about?
54:25I'm sick of you bossing me about.
54:27I still wanna get adopted.
54:29I don't wanna go back to my mum.
54:31You go.
54:32I'm staying with Joe and Mike.
54:33Zane!
54:34Zane!
54:35It's alright.
54:36I'll come on, I'll come on, I'll come on.
54:38What have you said to me?
54:39I don't know.
54:40Zane!
54:41Zane!
54:42Zane!
54:43Zane!
54:44Zane!
54:45Zane!
54:46Zane!
54:47Zane!
54:48Zane!
54:49Zane!
54:50Zane!
54:51Zane!
54:52Zane!
54:53Zane!
54:54Zane!
54:55Zane!
54:56Zane!
54:57Zane!
54:58Hello?
54:59Hi, Lenny.
55:00Erm, it's...
55:01Kim Campbell.
55:02Oh.
55:03Hello again.
55:04How can I help?
55:05I've been thinking.
55:09We should get you back in.
55:14Hey.
55:15Hello.
55:16I'm sorry I didn't get to see you before I went back in.
55:20I'll look for you at lunch.
55:22Well, I met this guy.
55:24Have you got something to tell me?
55:26No.
55:27Miss Campbell set it up.
55:30He was a youth worker.
55:32And we just ended up talking for ages.
55:35And when he was speaking, you could tell, like, that he wasn't fake.
55:39Which just got me thinking.
55:42What?
55:43That maybe I could do something with me experiences.
55:48So you want to be like a youth worker now?
55:51Nah.
55:52I'm thinking something more like criminology.
55:56I know that I probably won't be able to get a job with me record, but...
56:01I really like the idea of doing research into why people commit crimes.
56:06So maybe I could go back and understand.
56:09So you'd be like a professor and just do homework all your life?
56:13Yeah, well, you know that I like homework.
56:15And why are you such a geek?
56:17Honestly, though.
56:19Looks like you've got your twinkle back.
56:22I'm just sick.
56:23I'm feeling sorry for myself.
56:25I'm moping about.
56:27My past is behind me.
56:29And I can do whatever I want.
56:36Get your washing done, babes.
56:39Yeah, yeah.
56:41This is all I could get.
56:43Not for me.
56:46Boss wants a word.
56:49Is that a joke?
57:13That's not gonna cut it.
57:15Not by a long shot.
57:16I need me money by the end of the week.
57:18All of it.
57:19Well, if you've been a victim of crime, details of organisations offering information and support are available at the BBC Action Line website.
57:38That's the BBC Action Line website.
