00:00Some animal protein!
00:02Bloods on your head!
00:04You're like my little secret weapon.
00:06My eyes and my ears.
00:08You raped you.
00:10Don't say that weird.
00:12I've had some good news.
00:14But I found out earlier I said I'd make an ideal donor.
00:18What are you gonna do?
00:20I resign.
00:22And I accept your resignation.
00:24I'm delighted to announce we're engaged to be married.
00:26Congratulations!
00:28I am marrying Audrey.
00:30And I have to tell her.
00:52Have you ever loved someone?
00:58In your heart
01:00With all of your heart
01:02Sharing all their joy
01:06Giving from the start
01:08Have you ever
01:10Loved someone?
01:12Deep down
01:14In your heart
01:16In your heart
01:18In your heart
01:20In your heart
01:22In your heart
01:24In your heart
01:26In your heart
01:28Good morning.
01:30Morning.
01:32We need to talk.
01:34You're going to cancel the wedding?
01:36Audrey, of course I'm not going to cancel the wedding.
01:38You're my future.
01:40It's...
01:42It's just that...
01:44Our future is here.
01:46You know?
01:48How do you feel about moving to London?
01:50London?
01:52My cousin is there, you know?
01:54And he has his own business.
01:56He's asked me to go and work with him.
01:58But this can be a great opportunity for us.
02:00For both of us.
02:02That's a huge move.
02:04Sure, but...
02:05Isn't that what today is all about?
02:06You know?
02:07Making these big moves.
02:08Together.
02:10I suppose so.
02:16It's too much.
02:18It's too much for you.
02:20I understand.
02:21I mean...
02:22This is your home, you know?
02:24Audrey...
02:26Forget I even said anything.
02:28And Dali, wait.
02:29No.
02:30This is important to you.
02:33Well...
02:34I've always liked London.
02:38Why not?
02:41Let's talk about this later, yes?
02:43Keep it between us, you know?
02:44Just until we can finalise all of the arrangements.
02:47Okay.
02:58Well...
02:59Well...
03:00So...
03:05Have I...
03:07So...
03:08Have I...
03:12You...
03:13Have you ever loved so?
03:24You got a job interview?
03:25No.
03:26Just a meeting.
03:27I can't believe you're going to let her get away with this.
03:31Fees are against everything we've worked for, Michael.
03:33Well, it hasn't happened yet.
03:36What's to stop it happening now that you've resigned?
03:39You've resigned?
03:41What about the school and the pupils?
03:42I'm not abandoning them.
03:44Now, I have to go. I'm late, OK?
03:46Good luck with that ship jumping.
03:52So, what do you think?
03:54It looks a bit real.
03:59That's because it is real.
04:00As of today, you're the headteacher at Waterloo Road.
04:05It's going to take a bit of getting used to.
04:06Well, you've got half an hour.
04:08I want to tell the staff before first period.
04:12I don't know what to say to them.
04:13There's nothing to say.
04:14You're the new boss. End of.
04:16Stop looking so worried.
04:18You're going to be fine.
04:19OK.
04:20OK.
04:20Sorry. I was here to see Michael.
04:26Ah, Nicky. We'll deal with it.
04:28Oh, then are you ready to deal with this?
04:31Yep. Let's get started.
04:33Are you really going to tell Imogen's mum?
04:44What about the wedding?
04:46About the fact that you got married?
04:47Yes. I'm going to speak to her today.
04:48OK, but I was thinking I should do it.
04:51Look, we should be the ones to tell her.
04:52What, and I can trust you to do that, can I?
04:54After last week?
04:55Yeah, you can.
04:55It's about time it was all out and open.
04:57Every morning I call and the same nurse tells me the same thing.
05:05Well, at least he's not getting any worse.
05:07I suppose.
05:08Seems to be all I'm living for at the minute.
05:11Well, maybe you need a distraction.
05:13I have to be a pretty big one.
05:15Well, why don't you get involved with the school more?
05:17You're always going on about how much you'd love to teach.
05:19I wouldn't know where to start, man.
05:21Start by sitting in on one of my lessons.
05:23Get a taste for it.
05:24Come on, let the master show you how it shouldn't be done.
05:29Well, I suppose I can it hurt.
05:31Good luck today, miss.
05:32Oh, thank you.
05:33Hey, here they are, the happy couple.
05:36I kind of believe she's making you work on your wedding day.
05:38Ah, well, getting married isn't enough to warrant a holiday, apparently.
05:42And they say my country is harsh.
05:44Yeah, we did try to get this Saturday, didn't we?
05:46But church is booked up for months.
05:48Well, true love can't wait, eh?
05:50Hey, you couldn't give a hand, could you?
05:52Oh, is that the cake? Can I take a peek?
05:54No way.
05:55Tom, will you put this in the office, please?
05:59Thanks.
05:59Maggie, buttonholes and bouquets are in the fridge.
06:02Right.
06:04Try not to drop that, Tom, eh?
06:09I can't do this.
06:11Of course you can.
06:12I can't stand by and watch you marry her.
06:16It's hard, okay?
06:17I know.
06:19But you can get through this.
06:21Do it for Audrey's sake.
06:22Have you any idea how irresponsible your actions were?
06:33Sorry, miss.
06:34She did it, miss, not us.
06:38Putting poison pen letters on people's cars and threatening violence?
06:42The distress you have caused the workers at Knox.
06:45That was my protest.
06:47It was a criminal act.
06:48Knox pharmaceuticals are criminals.
06:51Change the record, Lula.
06:54Knox is vital to this community.
06:56Knox kills animals.
06:58But no!
06:59Nobody cares about the distress, do they?
07:01That's enough!
07:07Right, I'm not sure what your punishment's going to be yet,
07:09but it will be severe.
07:12Get to your classes.
07:22Not sure about the others, but that girl needs kicking out.
07:26That's a little bit extreme, isn't it?
07:27So what then?
07:28Suspension?
07:31I was thinking maybe she should talk to the educational psychologist.
07:35Therapy?
07:35Yeah, I think it'd be good for her.
07:37Nikki, you're being soft.
07:39We need to be seen to be imposing discipline.
07:41I'm not being soft.
07:42It's necessary.
07:44And I think it'd do her good.
07:46Fine.
07:48You're the boss.
07:52Look, if you want to put a stop in the campaign,
07:54I totally understand.
07:56I'm not stopping.
07:57Lula, what you did at Knox was brave and admirable,
07:59but you got caught.
08:00So what?
08:01I really don't care.
08:03Well, I do.
08:03Lorraine's invested a lot of money in Knox.
08:05She'll kick you out in order to...
08:07She's profiting from murder.
08:08We have to stop her.
08:09No, I don't want you to get in any more trouble.
08:12Don't tell me a way that won't get me in trouble.
08:14I don't know.
08:15Maybe a petition?
08:17Demanding Lorraine sever all ties with Knox.
08:19Yeah, I can get everyone to sign the petition,
08:22and that way, Donnegan, we have to listen.
08:24Have you seen her today?
08:25Yeah, I spoke to her.
08:26What did your mum say?
08:28Well, she thinks I'm going to phone your mum.
08:29Do the grown-up thing.
08:31You volunteered to do it?
08:32To buy her some time.
08:33We're not actually going through with it.
08:35You lied to your mum.
08:36She was talking to me.
08:38Didn't see what you just called me.
08:39Called me?
08:40My mum was calling Steve O's mum to apologise for me.
08:44What do you think of her own daughter?
08:45She's just trying to keep the peace.
08:47Yeah, well, screw the peace.
08:49What about me, Barry?
08:51I was the one that got raped.
08:52Yeah, I know.
08:53And then you went to the police.
08:55And what?
08:56You just expect me to let him get away with it?
08:57No, but if you let me handle it,
08:58then we wouldn't have a rep for grassing.
09:02Mum's just doing what's best.
09:04I'm your defender.
09:05We're family.
09:06And families stick together.
09:09Yeah, and I'm out.
09:11What do you mean you're out?
09:12I'm leaving.
09:14I'm done with you.
09:16You're staying put.
09:19Do you understand?
09:19You're all right.
09:20We're just talking.
09:22Yeah.
09:22Now we're done.
09:33Thank you for getting me this meeting, Robert.
09:35I do appreciate it.
09:36No problem.
09:37Though I haven't told the board yet what this is about.
09:39I thought I'd best to keep it in my wraps.
09:40I trust you felt the same.
09:42No-one knows I'm here.
09:43Well, it's just politically delicate
09:44and the press get hold of it.
09:46I understand.
09:46I have to say, I'm surprised
09:48that you're bringing this to us.
09:49Well, taking Waterloo Road back under LA,
09:51control is good for everyone.
09:53It's a win-win situation.
09:54Mate, I said I was surprised.
09:55I didn't say I wasn't interested.
09:58You wouldn't regret it.
09:59Oh, well.
09:59There's a way to go yet.
10:00We're still going to get through the committee.
10:02Well, I think they'll come round
10:03once they've seen my proposal.
10:05Martin Johnson is going to be in there.
10:07He's got it even for Waterloo Road.
10:09So you've got to fight on your hands.
10:11Well, it's one I can't afford to lose.
10:12Look, look, no arguments.
10:22You're coming to live with me in the flat
10:23and that's that.
10:25Are you sure it'll be OK?
10:26It'll be better than OK.
10:27It'll be great.
10:28I'll see you new all the time.
10:34Yeah.
10:34Yeah?
10:35I've no idea.
10:40No-one tells me anything anymore.
10:42That meeting?
10:43Any idea what it's about?
10:44Oh, we're not short of issues,
10:45are we, Esther?
10:47Morning.
10:48Please tell me you two
10:49are still coming to the wedding.
10:50I'm not sure I can.
10:51I've got to sort out Connor.
10:53Oh, come on.
10:53She's not going to have anybody there.
10:55Tom, it'll never last.
10:56I give it two years tops.
10:57Don't be like that.
10:58Listen till Nadala
10:59gets his hands on his passport.
11:01What was said about his passport?
11:02Oh, for the honeymoon.
11:03You'll need passports
11:05if you're going abroad.
11:09We're not going on honeymoon.
11:11What?
11:12Nadali doesn't want to waste money.
11:14He's very considerate of him.
11:15It's a shame.
11:17Well, why don't we chip in
11:18for a few nights in a hotel
11:19as a wedding present?
11:20No gifts,
11:22but if you would like
11:23to make a donation
11:23to our Malawi charity fund,
11:25we'd be very grateful.
11:26It's a lovely idea.
11:27Sonia,
11:28help us convince Audrey
11:29that we should chip in
11:29for a honeymoon, will you?
11:31Really, Tom,
11:31there is no need.
11:32I know of a lovely caravan
11:33going to bed.
11:34Connor's got a tent.
11:36Actually,
11:37we're going to London.
11:40So you are going on honeymoon?
11:41No.
11:42We're going for good.
11:45You're leaving?
11:46Yes.
11:47And Ali has a chance
11:48of a job down there.
11:50And we want to make
11:50a fresh start.
11:51Why don't you tell me?
12:15Tell you what?
12:16You think you were moving
12:21to London?
12:22It was just an idea,
12:23you know?
12:23Really?
12:24Because Audrey seems to think
12:25it's a done deal.
12:26Sonia,
12:27I need to move on.
12:28What about us?
12:30About me?
12:32Are you just going
12:32to leave me behind?
12:34Listen, look,
12:34I know the situation
12:35is not ideal, OK?
12:36It's not what I want,
12:37but I'm making a life
12:38with Audrey now.
12:40And I'm supposed
12:40to step aside.
12:43Sonia,
12:44I care about you,
12:46OK?
12:46Very much,
12:47but Sonia,
12:48please,
12:48come on,
12:49wait!
13:10Thanks for coming,
13:16everyone.
13:18Now,
13:18some of you
13:19may know already,
13:20but for those who don't,
13:22Michael Byrne resigned
13:23on Friday.
13:25We'll miss him.
13:28Personally,
13:29I think it's time
13:30we went in a new direction.
13:31So with that in mind,
13:32I'd like to introduce
13:33Nicky as our new head.
13:38Thank you,
13:39I will keep it brief.
13:40We all admired Michael,
13:44his commitment
13:44and passion.
13:48But it is time
13:49for fresh ideas.
13:51Now,
13:52in the short term,
13:53I don't expect
13:54there to be
13:54many changes.
13:55That's
13:56not exactly true,
13:58though,
13:58is it?
14:01Lorraine is planning
14:02to charge fees
14:03next term.
14:04What?
14:05You're taking
14:06the school private?
14:09We're already private.
14:11Just that up until now,
14:12I was paying the bill.
14:14As you all know,
14:14the school has a funding problem.
14:15Introducing fees
14:16will solve it.
14:17And what about the kids
14:18that are already here?
14:19Well,
14:19obviously,
14:19they'll still keep their place,
14:20but eventually,
14:22we'll have to employ
14:23some form of means testing,
14:24right?
14:24Yeah.
14:25You make this school fee-paying
14:26and you will kill this community.
14:27I understand this is hard
14:29for some of you.
14:30No.
14:32No, it's not.
14:34Because we won't
14:35let it happen.
14:37And just how
14:37are you going to stop it?
14:40Whoa, wait.
14:41Look,
14:42you can't just walk out.
14:44Think you'll faint?
14:45We can.
14:46This is ridiculous.
14:47Standing by
14:47and watching you
14:48wreck this school,
14:49that's ridiculous.
14:50Are you with us, Audrey?
14:51In spirit only, Tom.
14:52I'm sorry.
14:53It would be unprofessional.
14:56You joining them?
14:57It's not my style.
14:58So you're in favour
14:59of Charlie's face?
15:00I'm in favour of the pupils
15:01and striking's not going to help them.
15:02Go on, miss.
15:02You show them.
15:03Let them know who's boss.
15:04That's enough, Rhianna.
15:05I'm just supporting you, miss.
15:06Well, I'd rather you
15:07handed in your homework.
15:08How long are you striking for, sir?
15:10As long as it takes.
15:11Yes.
15:13No teachers.
15:14We roll this school.
15:15Yeah!
15:22They're so predictable.
15:29That's half of the staff out.
15:32Lorraine, we're going to have
15:33to close the school.
15:33We are not closing the school.
15:35What choice have we got
15:36unless you want the kids
15:37to teach themselves?
15:38Look, I'm calling supply teachers in.
15:39They'll be here soon.
15:41Are they any good?
15:42Can't be any worse than this lot.
15:45Lorraine, can I have a word?
15:46Yeah.
15:47Just giving you the heads up.
15:48I took this off for year 12 this morning.
15:50They're going round the school,
15:51apparently.
15:51There's a petition.
15:53Petition for what?
15:54I don't know,
15:55but from what I've heard,
15:56it's something about you
15:57and your relationship with Knox.
16:00See this?
16:01This is Lula Sidney.
16:03And we should have come down
16:04hard on her this morning.
16:08Oi!
16:09Walk!
16:13The more you fight them,
16:14the more they resist.
16:15Why not try a more subtle approach?
16:17Hell,
16:18why not arrange for Lula
16:19and the kids to go
16:20on a tour of the Knox facilities?
16:22You want me to send Lula to Knox?
16:24Well, I'll supervise them
16:25and who knows,
16:26once they see the good work Knox does,
16:28they'll maybe change their views.
16:29It's got to be worth a try.
16:32Okay.
16:34I'll make some calls.
16:35And thanks.
16:36taking over Waterloo Road will give you the opportunity
17:01to inherit a flagship school
17:03in a struggling area.
17:06We're already established.
17:08We have an excellent staff
17:10and a dedicated referral unit.
17:13And furthermore,
17:14we're performing well.
17:17Strong results,
17:18high grade averages,
17:20low absentee rates.
17:22Yeah,
17:22tables and graphs
17:23are all very well,
17:24but they don't tell the whole story.
17:26We all know what's going on at your school.
17:31Martin's right.
17:34Some of our problems have been very serious.
17:37You said it.
17:38But we haven't overcome them
17:39by shouting the odds.
17:41We've worked hard.
17:44We've got through them.
17:46And we will continue to do so.
17:49For every negative you can point out about my school,
17:51I can provide you with a positive.
17:54But in the end,
17:55the only question you have to ask yourselves is this.
18:00Will taking over this school
18:02benefit the community that you serve?
18:06Now,
18:07in my opinion,
18:08there's only one answer to that question.
18:11Is this true?
18:41Audrey,
18:41it was a mistake,
18:50a moment of weakness,
18:51that's all.
18:53I tried to stop it.
18:54I tried to tell her
18:55that it couldn't happen again,
18:56you know?
18:57She wouldn't listen to me.
18:59So now it's obsessed with me.
19:02I can't believe this.
19:03Audrey, please.
19:04N'Dali, I can't.
19:05No, look,
19:05you don't know what she's like.
19:06Look, look at this, see?
19:07Look at the handwriting, you see?
19:10This is her doing.
19:11This is Sonia.
19:12She's trying to break us up.
19:16Audrey, I know I've hurt you.
19:18I've done a terrible thing.
19:20Please.
19:20Please, Audrey,
19:21please don't cancel the wedding.
19:29Audrey, please,
19:30come on, wait.
19:31Robert.
19:42Well, we'll know in the next few hours,
19:43but I think you should be positive.
19:44It's easy for you to say.
19:46I might not come round to the idea.
19:48As long as the school keeps its head down,
19:50we'll be fine.
19:52Okay?
19:55Yeah.
19:56Sorry, what were you saying?
19:57The school.
19:59I'll need to run smoothly
20:00in the coming weeks.
20:01Don't worry, it will.
20:03Thanks.
20:15In come the subs.
20:20George Windsor.
20:23I'm surprised you're not dead.
20:31I'm surprised you're not drunk.
20:34What happened to China?
20:35Did they kick you out
20:35for being too right-wing?
20:37On the contrary,
20:38they took me to their hearts.
20:40Especially the women.
20:42Please, I've just eaten.
20:44So you're going to cross
20:45our picket line?
20:47Oh, is that what this is?
20:50We are fighting a very good cause.
20:52Then I'm sure you will.
20:53We should have a drink sometime.
20:58First strickening's on me.
21:01A friend of yours, is he?
21:03Yeah.
21:05Actually, he is.
21:08Sounders.
21:10Okay.
21:11Okay, John Windsor.
21:13It's George.
21:14George.
21:15Right, and your maths.
21:17Modern languages.
21:19Oh, right.
21:19Sorry, it says here that you...
21:20Oi!
21:22Joe, stop right there!
21:24Glad to see everything's under control.
21:26Yeah, well, today's not really.
21:28Been...
21:29Well, no, no, no, please.
21:30I really don't care.
21:32I need to see the head.
21:35You're speaking to her?
21:37Hmm.
21:38Been in the job long.
21:39Actually, it's...
21:41Actually, it's...
21:42My first day...
21:43Today.
21:45Good God.
21:47Audrey?
21:49Audrey?
21:50Look, let me tell you how this is going to work.
21:53I'm basically here to keep the school open and the kids occupied.
21:56I don't do marking.
21:58I don't do discipline.
21:59So, first hint of any trouble from any child, and I'll send them straight to you.
22:03Anything else?
22:05Yes, when the bell goes, I go.
22:11Right.
22:16That was a cowardly thing to do.
22:18I wanted you to know the truth.
22:20And you couldn't tell me to my face.
22:21All this time, playing the friend, when really you were trying to steal him away from me.
22:26I didn't steal him, darling.
22:27What happened just happened.
22:30Think what you're saying, Sonia.
22:32You're supposed to be my bridesmaid.
22:34You needed to know.
22:35On my wedding day!
22:44How could you?
22:46I'm sorry.
22:48I know this must be hard, but...
22:51Can't you see it's for the best?
22:52How? How is it for the best?
22:56Because...
22:57This way...
22:58You see him for what he really is.
23:01He is my fiancée.
23:03Oh, he's more like your lodger.
23:05Oh, come on, Audrey.
23:07I can give Indali what he wants.
23:11I know what he needs!
23:18Oh, I see what this is all about.
23:20Oh, that was a close one.
23:41Come on.
23:50All right, Miss?
23:51You lost us in think.
23:52Have we not got a teacher?
23:54They're all on strike, Miss.
23:55Yes, I know that, but did they get somebody to cover the class?
24:02Have you not got something you could be getting on with? Reading, maybe?
24:05Nah, miss. We've read everything.
24:09How about we all take turns reading this?
24:12What for?
24:13Well, this is an English class, and reading books is part of English.
24:17Yeah, but you're not an English teacher.
24:18Yeah, but I can read, Jack.
24:20But you can't take a subject that you know nothing about.
24:24He's right, miss.
24:25Get your things, line up at the door.
24:31Why?
24:32Because I said so, that's why. Come on, chop, chop.
24:37Come on, get a rocket of this.
24:41So what languages are you learning?
24:43French and Gaelic.
24:45Spanish.
24:46Oh, God. 6,000 languages on the planet, and they teach you Spanish.
24:50Most of Europe will be speaking English by 2050.
24:53Well, what should we be learning?
24:56Well, how about we look to the future, embrace the new century, and study the enigma that is Mandarin?
25:02What, do you speak Chinese?
25:05What does that mean?
25:09Chewing gum bin.
25:14So what is it that's fascinating?
25:17It's a petition, sir.
25:18We want Lorraine Donegan to stop investing in pharmaceuticals.
25:22So you have a problem with helping companies to cure diseases?
25:26Knox Pharmaceuticals test their drugs on animals.
25:30Well, I would hope so.
25:32Those animals suffer.
25:34Well, rather them than me.
25:35So you don't respect animal rights?
25:38Absolutely.
25:39I respect their right to taste nice.
25:41One of the best meals I ever had was in China.
25:45Delicious plate of curried dog.
25:47And, of course, there's veal.
25:50These have all seen enough cookery programmes on telly, so I'm expecting great things.
25:55Oh, my...
25:58Maggie?
25:59Maggie?
25:59What on earth is going on?
26:05Well, the teachers are on strike, so I stepped in.
26:08You stepped in?
26:09Yeah.
26:10You can't just decide to teach a class.
26:14A sponge cake is hardly teaching, is it?
26:17Rhiannon, go easy on that sugar.
26:18No, no, I mean, you are not qualified to supervise an entire class full of kids.
26:24Well, I'm very sorry, but they obviously needed supervising.
26:27They were creating merry hell up there.
26:28Jack, back to your station.
26:30Even so, I can't allow it.
26:31I just can't.
26:33Fine.
26:35Er, everybody, erm, I need yous all to stop what Jesus is doing and pack up.
26:42Crap, that is.
26:43Rhiannon, you will not use language like that in my kitchen.
26:46But my cake's not even in the oven yet.
26:48I don't care, no excuse.
26:49Sorry, miss.
26:51Right, er, what would you like me to do with them?
26:56Actually, scrap that.
26:58What do you do for Thursday afternoon?
27:02You see, if humankind thought like you, we'd all still be living in caves.
27:06Fact is, we've been exploiting animals since the dawn of time.
27:10We've eaten them, we've worn them, we've worked them, we've ridden them.
27:15And it's been mutually beneficial.
27:17How has it been mutual?
27:18Well, er, take the cow, for example.
27:21Big, slow, dumb, easy prey, left to its own devices.
27:26It probably would have died out years ago.
27:28But by allowing itself to be exploited by humans, the cow survives.
27:34Only until we kill her for meat.
27:35The individual cows die, yes, but the species continues.
27:40It's a bilateral transaction.
27:42We get milk and meat and leather and they get food and shelter and protection from their predators.
27:49That still doesn't give Knox the right to experiment on animals.
27:52Easy for you to say now.
27:55Thirty years down the line, when the doctors find...
27:57I will never touch their drugs.
27:59Well, then you're as dumb as the fat rabbits they keep at Knox.
28:04Intelligent point.
28:05Well made.
28:11Out!
28:12I said out.
28:14Out!
28:42Do you want to marry me?
28:45Yes, of course.
28:47I need you to swear that there's nothing else I should know.
28:50Audrey, I swear.
28:52I mean it, darling.
28:54No more lies.
28:58I swear to you.
29:00There's no more lies.
29:06Then I'll see you at the church.
29:17Michael, you come to give us some moral support?
29:20Not really, no.
29:23Can I have a word with you in private?
29:25Sure.
29:28You need to call them back to work.
29:31Why?
29:32You're putting the pupils at risk.
29:33It's unprofessional, Christine.
29:36Unprofessional?
29:37Oh, I see.
29:38So we should just give up like you did?
29:40I haven't given up.
29:42Look, I have a plan to save the school, but the strike isn't helping my case.
29:47So what's the plan?
29:49I can't tell you.
29:53Then we're staying out.
30:07Was it worth it?
30:08Telling her?
30:09What was I supposed to do?
30:10You were planning on leaving me.
30:12How can I leave you, Sonia?
30:14I was never with you.
30:15I was always with Audrey.
30:16You weren't always with Audrey.
30:17What happened between us was a mistake, and now it's over.
30:20We can still make this work.
30:22Stop this.
30:23Listen, London ain't that far.
30:25It's just a few hours on the train.
30:27Give it a couple of months.
30:28Maybe I'll come and visit.
30:29We are finished.
30:31Do you understand?
30:32I do not want to see you anymore.
30:35All right, everybody.
30:38That's lunch.
30:38You can't destruct being damaged.
30:40I am marrying Audrey.
30:41I just taught the class.
30:52Hey, hey, what's the matter?
30:57We've every right to be here.
30:58Of course you have, but would you just listen to what I have to say?
31:00All right?
31:02You think you're all out here fighting for the school, but you're wrong.
31:05Someone has to stand up to her.
31:06But not like this, Tom.
31:07This isn't the way.
31:08And how would you do it?
31:09By going back inside.
31:10By sitting down and negotiating a compromise.
31:13Lorraine doesn't do compromise.
31:15You know that.
31:16Says the man who abandoned his pupils this morning.
31:19Tell me, Tom, did you notify the school of your intention to strike?
31:23Did any of you set any work for the pupils to be getting on with in your absence?
31:26Did you even try to explain to them what any of this is about?
31:31Don't talk to me about compromise.
31:33We're trying to put up some kind of a fight, Michael.
31:36That's all.
31:37Yeah, but there's a bigger fight at stake here.
31:38The fight for the kids' hearts and minds.
31:41I mean, what kind of lesson are you giving them standing around out here?
31:44Sometimes you have to stand up and be counted.
31:47Yeah, but you're not being counted, Tom.
31:49You're standing outside here and the kids are in there being taught by strangers.
31:54You know, I woke up this morning and I realised something, okay?
31:57Okay?
31:57You all have a distinct advantage over me.
32:02You still have the privilege of coming here every day and teaching these kids.
32:08Now, to me, walking out is an abuse of that privilege.
32:20You should all be ashamed of yourselves.
32:21Well, what were you thinking?
32:31The girl is out of control.
32:33Lula says you provoked her.
32:34We were having a perfectly rational debate.
32:36Well, rational until she started throwing the furniture around.
32:39Well, she's claiming that was an accident.
32:41Yeah, she would, wouldn't she?
32:43Look, she's a special case.
32:45She's quick to anger and she needs handling.
32:47Handling?
32:48What is she, a bomb?
32:51I think you deliberately set out to incite her by attacking her beliefs.
32:55And then she attacked me.
32:57Do you not think you should be disciplining her for that?
32:59Don't tell me how to do my job.
33:01Why not? Someone has to.
33:02George, can you give us a minute?
33:06Thanks.
33:10Look, I don't know where you found him, but he is an obnoxious sexist.
33:15He has a point.
33:16Nicky, what is Lula still doing at this school?
33:20What? He provoked her!
33:22I'm sorry, but you had a chance to deal with her this morning.
33:25Right. I see.
33:27Now, this is all my fault, is it?
33:29Don't take this personally.
33:30Lorraine, it's hard not to when you are questioning every decision!
33:36You might want to come have a look at this.
33:38Surprised to see you, eh?
33:49Heard you were having some problems.
33:51There's nothing we couldn't handle.
33:57The staff will return to work if you agree to listen to their concerns.
34:00This is where you nod, Lorraine.
34:09Right.
34:10Well, you've wasted most of the day, so get back to work.
34:13It's lunchtime, Nicky.
34:14OK, everyone, back to business as usual.
34:20Straight back into classes after lunch.
34:27I need you now.
34:28Are you drunk?
34:38I realise it's short notice.
34:40What about Sonia?
34:41Sonia isn't bridesmaid material.
34:45OK, you're going to have to give me a bit more than that.
34:48She's been sleeping with Ndali.
34:53OK, Audrey, you listen to me.
34:55You have to get out of this wedding now.
34:57I don't want to get out of it.
34:58Why not?
34:59He's been sleeping with Sonia.
35:00And I've forgiven him, so now I need a bridesmaid.
35:02Will you do it?
35:02Absolutely not.
35:04I am not going to stand beside you and watch you make a huge and all strike that titanic mistake.
35:08It's so easy for you, isn't it?
35:10You're young, relatively speaking.
35:12Attractive.
35:12Men are drawn to you.
35:13Well, men are not drawn to me.
35:15They never have been.
35:16Even when I was young, I wasn't a beauty queen.
35:18And I am.
35:20I know I am.
35:21Something of a cold fish.
35:23Which means I have been alone for a long time.
35:28I'm not stupid, Christine.
35:29I know Ndali doesn't love me.
35:31Not in the way you think he should, anyway.
35:33Then why marry him?
35:34Because he's kind and he's gentle and he's a good friend.
35:38And at this stage in my life, that's what I need.
35:41Who knows?
35:42Maybe in time love will grow.
35:44Taking a big chance, though.
35:47Yes.
35:47I've got nothing to wear.
35:55What you've got on will be fine.
36:10She's moving out then.
36:11It's what she wants.
36:19So I was thinking, it's about time you and me called a truce.
36:26What do you mean, a truce?
36:28Look, you and Dynasty are clearly seeing each other.
36:30I get that.
36:31Right.
36:32Good.
36:33And if you think about it, you and me, we have something in common now.
36:36We both want to take care of her.
36:39Yeah, I guess.
36:41Right.
36:43So settle then.
36:48So now we need to talk about how we're going to deal with all of this.
36:53Dynasty can't move in with you.
36:55Look, Barry, it's happening.
36:58You just have to deal with that.
36:59No.
37:00See, things are pretty unsettled at home.
37:02And I'm trying to make things better, but it's not easy.
37:05That's not my problem.
37:06No.
37:07It's Dynasty's problem.
37:09It's her family.
37:10And right now, we need her to be her own.
37:13Do you understand?
37:14She's made her choice.
37:15Yeah, but you could talk to her.
37:16Tell her you couldn't do it.
37:18No, look, I don't think staying at home with you lot is good for her.
37:25Well, whatever, I won't let her go.
37:28Then I'll tell the police about the gun.
37:30Your gun.
37:34First you shake my hand, and then you threaten me.
37:37It wasn't a threat.
37:38It was a promise.
37:40Forgetting something, are we?
37:42You're in this as deep as I am.
37:44I don't care.
37:45I'll do whatever it takes to help Dynasty.
37:49Leave him alone!
37:51It's his fault!
37:53You!
37:55Steve-O's family mum!
37:56Nobody, you're wrong.
37:57This is our mess.
37:58Callsbury, our messed up family.
38:00If you leave with him tonight,
38:02then you are not into me.
38:05Fine.
38:05Are you all right?
38:12I know it sounds stupid, but I really did think he liked me.
38:21And the fact that he was marrying Audrey didn't tell you otherwise.
38:24But he doesn't love her, Maggie.
38:26Sounds like wishful thinking to me.
38:27Come on.
38:29Can you really see in Dali spending the rest of his life with her?
38:34Well, seems like he's willing to give it a try.
38:40I'm such an idiot.
38:42Oh, no.
38:44You just made a bad choice, that's all.
38:46All my choices are bad.
38:48Especially when it comes to men.
38:50I'm sure that's not true.
38:52It is.
38:52Well, maybe it's time you went for a different type.
38:58I can't help who you're attracted to.
39:01What is the point, right, in running around,
39:04playing the other woman, always being second best?
39:08It's exciting, I suppose.
39:10Sonia, Mum.
39:11Love is a gift.
39:13She'll be shouted from the rooftops.
39:15Not kept hidden like a dirty secret.
39:17He's got a phone.
39:23What?
39:24In Dali.
39:26He's got another phone.
39:35Sonia, what are you doing?
39:45It's not in here.
39:47What?
40:07Thank you, Diana.
40:08Thank you, Diana.

43:41I'm so sorry.
43:43Audrey, are you okay?

44:47after?
44:49Oh, God.
44:50No.
44:50It was a quick divorce.
44:51Toss me to one side.
44:52Oh, God.
44:54How stupid am I?
44:56Audrey, you're not stupid.
44:57Don't say that.
44:58Look at me.
45:00All I wanted was a chance to work, to make money and provide for my family, okay?
45:06That's all I wanted.
45:08I was just a means to an end.
45:11No.
45:11Audrey, you're a good woman.
45:13I admire you so much, you know.
45:15But you don't love me.
45:17God.
45:18Why is everybody in this country so obsessed with this word love?
45:22Do you know for some people in Malawi, it's a luxury for them to have this, this love?
45:27Then tell me, Ndali, do you love your wife?
45:33You can dress this up whatever way you want, but you're a liar and a cheat and you used me
45:40and that's the truth.
45:42You was happy to be used.
45:44You knew something wasn't right.
45:53That first day in Malawi, you knew.
45:56I didn't know you were married.
45:58But you suspected something.
46:01And yet you still invited me here, even with your doubts.
46:06Yes, it was too good to be true.
46:10I'm not naive, Ndali.
46:12So, Audrey, why didn't you say anything?
46:18Because I did it, Audrey.
46:28Shouldn't I always go in there and make sure everything's all right?
46:31No, I'd just leave them to it if I were you.
46:35I can't believe you'd do this to her.
46:37Yeah, well, you should, because he's a snake.
46:42The police?
46:48Sonia!
46:54So, name?
46:57Merci.
47:00And the boys?
47:03Chata and Tombo.
47:06How old?
47:07Chata is seven and Tombo will be ten at the end of next month.
47:17Audrey, I never meant to hurt you.
47:23What will you do now?
47:24Please, please, please, just give them a minute now.
47:39Okay.
47:45It's okay.
47:48Audrey, I'm tired.
47:50I'm tired of all of this.
47:52Ready to go home.
47:56I miss my family.
48:09Audrey McFour.
48:12And Holly?
48:13Hi.
48:43You all right?
48:46Not a great start to my job, eh?
48:49I think you managed okay.
48:51School's still open.
48:53Strike's off.
48:55It was Michael that stopped the strike.
48:58Look, it'll be better tomorrow.
49:03No.
49:06No, it won't, Lorraine.
49:11I'm not ready for this.
49:12You can't just quit after one day.
49:15Sometimes one day's all you need.
49:19I'm out of my depth.
49:24I'm sorry.
49:27I'm sorry it didn't work out.
49:29Yeah.
49:30Me too.
49:34I am right about Lula, though.
49:42Ah, Lorraine.
49:47Must admit I didn't expect him to call off the strike so quickly.
49:51Well, I think the staff came to realise they were putting the kids at risk.
49:55You mean you made them realise?
49:57Easier to point these things out when you're on the outside.
49:59Yeah.
50:01How's that working out for you?
50:02Being on the outside, I mean.
50:04I'm keeping busy.
50:12Too busy to take your old job back?
50:13Are you OK?
50:22Not really, no.
50:25I'm sorry, Audrey.
50:26I really am.
50:29I think it's best if we get Audrey home.
50:31Maggie, would you drive us?
50:32No, I don't want to go home.
50:34No, we must have the buffet at the pub.
50:37And we need to not waste that.
50:39Are you sure?
50:39Yes.
50:40Technically a bride for the day, so you have to do what I say, please.
50:48OK, Audrey, why not?
50:50A couple of drinks can't hurt, can't it?
50:52No.
51:05I'm really sorry.
51:10Oh, Michael.
51:19There you are.
51:22How did it go with the committee?
51:23They're interested.
51:25We're very impressed with your presentation.
51:28There's still a long way to go, but we could be up and running by next term.
51:30And when Waterloo road's back on the body of the Kirk, you can sit back and relax.
51:35How so?
51:36Oh.
51:37You won't have to try so hard, will you?
51:39No more educational experiments or pioneering schemes.
51:44A council will dictate policy.
51:46All you have to do is implement it.
51:50Good night, Michael.
51:51Well done.
52:07Here we go.
52:12A toast.
52:12To Audrey.
52:18She may not have a husband, but she still has her family.
52:22Us.
52:23Audrey.
52:30Thank you for today.
52:32Oh, don't mention it.
52:33No.
52:34You had your reservations, but you were there for me.
52:36Oh, look out.
52:38It's the boss.
52:40Not anymore.
52:41I quit.
52:44What is it with headteachers and quitting these days?
52:46I'd better go.
52:48Visit in time.
52:49Jump's come with you.
52:50No, you're all right, Tom, thanks.
52:51I like to sit with him on me own and tell him about me day.
52:54Yeah, well, you can tell him he's got some competition now that you're teaching.
52:57Yeah.
52:59Folks.
53:02Where's N'Donnie?
53:04It's a long story.
53:06Get around in and we'll tell you.
53:14Okay, Lola, you come along this corridor here.
53:18And then what?
53:19And then I'll leave through the service doors here.
53:23Are you sure you want to go through with this?
53:26Knocks are in for a surprise.
53:30I'll tell you what, I'll do you a deal.
53:32If you haven't been snapped up in five years, I'll marry you.
53:36I don't think that would work at all.
53:38Why not?
53:40I'm too much woman for you.
53:44I know I was put in an impossible position, so why do I feel like I've failed?
53:48Is this girl still standing?
53:51Did anyone try and burn it down?
53:53I know.
53:54Well, she did.
53:54Yeah.
53:56Do you know she wants to see something?
53:57If you want me to go, I'll go.
54:09Tom.
54:09Would you get Sonia a drink, please?
54:14What would you like?
54:26Jane, take place, Tom.
54:32Lord, he's a better woman than I am.
54:34Forgiveness is a wonderful thing.
54:36Hmm.
54:37So am I forgiven for today?
54:42The strike was a stupid idea.
54:45Okay.
54:47I was only doing it for you.
54:48I don't need a cheerleader.
54:51Well, that's a shame, because I've just gone and bought the outfit, pom-poms and everything.
54:58Oh, come on, Michael.
54:59We're going to have lots of arguments in the future.
55:01We've got to learn to laugh them off.
55:02You've got the future all mapped out, have you?
55:04Well, I don't know.
55:07I had a few thoughts on the church today.
55:13Don't panic.
55:14We've got a couple of years yet before we get to that stage.
55:19You all right, Michael?
55:23Yeah.
55:24We're going to have to go.
55:54I don't know.
56:24I don't know what's going on and I just thought you should know it.
56:26You know, I'm still surprised she agreed to this takeover.
56:29You are my daughter now.
56:31Get lost!
56:32I'm going to take my phone in so I can feel I'm insane.
56:35It's just so rare to be handed a school that's doing so well and knows exactly where it's going.
56:40He wasn't going to give the school to the council.
56:41Let our kids keep their school.
56:44This is no longer Waterloo Road, but the Lorraine Donegan Institute of Excellence.
56:48What?
56:49You can either sign up or collect your P45s.
56:52It's a disaster.
56:53This is my school and I want you out of it.
56:55Are you happy now?
56:56This time next year the school's going to be paying for itself anyway.
56:59Skip!
57:00Skip!
