00:15Welcome to Austin.
00:29Welcome to Waterloo Road, ladies and gentlemen, I know what John Foster is to look at, but I can assure
00:40you I'm applying the same high standards on the inside.
00:44Yeah, what?
00:47Now then, ladies, no misbehaving today, remember? You can show your parents how successful this merge has been. Got it?
00:57Take a leap, but have an outcome to Austin Red.
00:59Welcome to Waterloo Road.
01:00Morning, Stephanie.
01:01Morning, Jo.
01:02You're ready for the Open Day?
01:04May we?
01:05Absolute more.
01:06Here we go.
01:07What's this?
01:07Your next training course.
01:09You seem to get so much out of the last one, I thought I'd make it a regular event.
01:12Great, look forward to it.
01:14Bye.
01:16I thought you enjoyed that course.
01:18Yes, as a one-off, it doesn't mean I want to do more.
01:21Didn't look like she was giving you too much choice.
01:24Then I shall have to persuade her otherwise, Grantley.
01:26A certain, erm, time-honoured technique that I used to employ when a certain Jack Rimmer wanted me to do
01:33extra work.
01:34You can't seriously think you're going to flirt your way out of this one.
01:38Well, why not? She likes women same as you. What?
01:40Yeah.
01:40Tom, there is absolutely no reason why Jo Lipset will be any less susceptible to my womanly charms than the
01:47rest of you.
01:48Morning, girl.
01:49Morning.
01:58Careful!
01:59What have you got in here?
02:00Well, it's an open day for Max. I'm not exactly going to give him corned beef sandwiches, am I?
02:05Yeah, but I didn't think a school's catering budget extended to beluga caviar.
02:09It didn't. We did.
02:11What?
02:11Oh, John, I've put it on the company credit card.
02:14Ruby!
02:14I think you can afford it.
02:16Yeah, but it would have been nice to have been asked.
02:17Well, money you earn. I don't even need to be here.
02:20Excuse me, young man. You and your little girlfriend. Take this inside. You know where it goes.
02:23Chop, chop.
02:24All right. Good morning, everybody.
02:26As you know, today's open day is a golden opportunity to demonstrate to our governors and parents just how successful
02:33this merger has been.
02:35Now, I can't stress how important it is we use today to work together.
02:41United.
02:42HODs, you should have your subject displays ready in the main hall.
02:46Throughout the day, there'll be class tours, so if you could all make sure that your lessons are running as
02:50smoothly as possible, these itineraries will let you know what time you can expect us.
02:55Rachel, Chris, Kim, myself will be doing the coordinating. Any trouble, any questions, don't hesitate to ask. Have a very
03:03good day.
03:05The quicker we get this over and done with, the quicker we can stop pretending to like each other and
03:10get back to normal.
03:15Oh, is that for the buffet?
03:17I prefer to call it a selection of high-quality hors d'oeuvres.
03:20Really?
03:21Sounds expensive.
03:22Well, it was. I bought them myself.
03:25I thought I'd bring a little bit of class into school, so at least I can do.
03:29Seeing as I'm not condemned to spend the rest of my life here, like the rest of you.
03:34The governors, we're not expecting until lunch, so we can concentrate on taking the parents around until then. Most of
03:39them will probably be John Foster's, so I thought it best if I do the introductions.
03:43I'm sure I could have handled that.
03:44Of course. I just think they might need to see a familiar face.
03:49Look, these are high-achieving kids with even more demanding parents. We need to show them that we can be
03:53trusted with their education.
03:55I understand that, Max. I just don't think we should ignore other pupils in the process.
03:58Fine. But we need to prove that this merch has been a success. Otherwise, it's not just my reputation on
04:05the line, it's the entire school's.
04:07Now, I promised the LEA I could turn this place around. If they hear anything different after today, they're going
04:13to look to hold someone accountable.
04:15Okay?
04:18Look, Rach, he's a good guy deep down. He just wants the best for the school.
04:22You seem to care an awful lot about him.
04:25Look, I wanted to talk to you, actually, about earlier.
04:28It's all right, Kim. I know.
04:31I saw you and Max together last week after school.
04:36Oh, God.
04:38Look, I didn't mean to tell you. I just...
04:40You didn't.
04:41Look, your private life is none of my business anyways.
04:44I know, I know, but I didn't want you to think that I was going behind your back.
04:48Max is such a private person.
04:50Come on.
04:52Okay.
04:58Ladies and gentlemen, a very warm welcome to our open day.
05:02If I could just make the introductions, most of you will probably know me from John Foster's, Max Tyler.
05:08I'm here to oversee the redevelopment of Waterloo Road as Executive Head.
05:14Christopher Mead, you may also remember, now acting as Deputy here.
05:18Kim Campbell, Head of Pastoral Care.
05:21And last but not least, Rachel Mason, Head Teacher.
05:26Now, we're going to split you into groups and give you a couple of pupils to take you on a
05:30tour.
05:31Miss Campbell has very kindly put on a magnificent display of our best artwork down the corridor.
05:36Our food tech group will be preparing your lunch.
05:39And all our heads of department will be back here during break to talk to you in person.
05:44So, if I could take the first few couples, Mr. and Mrs. Porter, Mr. and Mrs. Mealy if you'd like
05:50to follow me.
05:51And I'll have Lister, please, Jewett and Dodds.
05:56Remember, smooth equal slices everyone.
06:00Good morning, welcome.
06:01This is our new food technology blog which we've invested a lot of money in.
06:05Hopefully it gives a chance to train the next generation of Jamie Oliver's.
06:08You're just about to make a start on the crudités, actually.
06:11The what?
06:13Squench, a raw vegetable.
06:15To enlist you.
06:16Besides, you may recognise Mrs. Fry from Joel Foster's.
06:19One of our most accomplished teachers and, as you can see, working wonders here too.
06:23You're obviously on top of things as usual, Mrs. Fry.
06:26Oh, thank you.
06:27I mean, some of them are a bit rougher than we used to, but you just have to work a
06:30bit harder at smoothing the edges.
06:32No, no, no, no, no, no.
06:35You wouldn't expect we'd serve that at Claridge's, would you?
06:37She wouldn't know.
06:38Miss, we're not even in Claridge's.
06:39It doesn't matter.
06:40Your presentation should be just as high.
06:42It's as much about how something looks as it is about how it tastes.
06:50Michaela.
06:53Right, if you'd like to, er, move along, perhaps.
07:00I don't think it's news to most of you, is it?
07:03Michaela.
07:05Right.
07:06Let's go and have a little chat in my office, shall we?
07:15Carry on.
07:25Zero tolerance today, Michaela.
07:27Do you want to get thrown out?
07:29Or why should I care about impressing your John Foster's lot?
07:32Because we're all Waterloo Road now, whether you like it or not.
07:36And if you don't start working together, the only reputation that's going to suffer is your school's.
07:41Well, it doesn't matter what we do, you're still going to think you're better than us.
07:46Do me a favour and stand up straight, take your hands out of your pockets.
07:51Go on.
07:53Right.
07:55Neck straight and chin up.
07:58Pull your tummy in.
07:59Go on.
08:02You look about three inches tall, huh?
08:04Good posture.
08:06That feels better already, doesn't it?
08:08You know, it's not just about how you present the food that's important, it's how you present yourself.
08:13Why do you care how I present myself?
08:15You're not in your fancy private school now.
08:19Yes.
08:20Yes, I have had a drop in circumstance.
08:23It doesn't mean I've had to drop my standards.
08:25You know, you come from a deprived, working-class school.
08:28You don't have to enforce the lazy, belligerent stereotype.
08:32It doesn't matter what you've got or where you come from.
08:35There's no reason you shouldn't demand the same high standards from life as the rest of us.
08:40You just have to work a little bit harder for them.
08:44Same as you, you mean.
08:46Right.
08:51You can stay in here and sulk and confirm to that John Fosters lot that you're not good enough for
08:56them.
08:56Or you can get out there and prove that you are.
08:59I feel better for them.
09:11Judah'sí• ity is full of energy.
09:21All right.
09:23Learn.
09:24Learn.
09:25Learn.rebore.
09:26Boop.
09:29Yes, Miss, can you start with this over here?
09:32Yes, yes, if I can.
09:34As you can see, we've started to do team teaching
09:37in some classes where we feel it's appropriate.
09:41We find that it helps the weak pupils
09:43and also some of our members of staff.
09:45If you could just make your way back to the hall
09:47and we can continue with the top.
09:50Listen, can you all just carry on with your work?
09:53Keep the noise down. I'll be two minutes.
09:55OK?
09:57Jo.
10:00I, um, think we make quite a good team.
10:04Must be the chemistry.
10:07I feel like a changed person since I've been on that course.
10:11You'll be really looking forward to the next one, then.
10:14Well, that's actually what I wanted to talk to you about.
10:18No, no, no, no.
10:19I just think that I would benefit from some one-to-one sessions with you.
10:25Well, come on, it seems mad to send me on some daft course
10:27when I can learn from the very best right here.
10:31Right.
10:32We could keep things informal,
10:34have a few drinks,
10:36maybe go to one of those bars.
10:40What exactly is one of those bars, Steph?
10:43One of those bars where there's no men,
10:45so I won't be distracted.
10:47Uh-huh.
10:49Well, it'll do me good to have a change now and again.
10:52Hmm.
11:00Hmm.
11:10Oh, that's better.
11:12That's much better.
11:13Hey, class, we've got a natural here.
11:16Oh, I don't believe this.
11:19Is there a problem, Miss?
11:20No.
11:21Everything's fine.
11:23Um.
11:26It won't be a sec.
11:32Helen, Helen.
11:34Hey, we couldn't do me a favour.
11:35I've gone the dips for the crudités.
11:37I'm going to have to pop home and get them.
11:38Could you come and follow me?
11:39Well, no, I wouldn't.
11:40Listen, Bert, I won't be long.
11:42Twenty minutes.
11:47Well, admittedly, our A to C grades aren't amazing,
11:50but they are up on what they were last year.
11:52Still not a patch on John Foster's?
11:54No, but we are trying very hard to improve them.
11:57You're going to have to work harder then, aren't you?
11:59I...
12:00You didn't expect me to miss our son's open day, did you?
12:03No, of course not.
12:05Jordan, if you could show our parents to the assembly hall.
12:07Nice to meet you.
12:10Good to see you again.
12:13How are you getting on?
12:14All right?
12:14Great.
12:15Yeah, I've just seen Josh's latest art project.
12:18He's top of the class, apparently.
12:19Right.
12:19Excellent.
12:20Well done, mate.
12:34John?
12:37John?
12:43Oh, my God, I don't believe that.
12:44You're supposed to be in work, aren't you?
12:49Oh, look, don't get that.
12:52Why?
12:53Please, just stay here.
12:55Let me do it, please.
12:58Why?
12:58Are you trying to hide from?
12:59No.
13:03John?
13:08Oh, my God, I don't believe this.
13:11Ruby, it's not what you think.
13:15Mr. Fry?
13:18Oh, it's through there to the left.
13:20I'll be with you in a minute.
13:22John?
13:24Excuse me?
13:25What the hell's going on?
13:27I wanted to tell you.
13:27Tell me what the hell's going on?
13:34The company's gone on there.
13:35Went into receivership two weeks ago.
13:37We're bankrupt.
13:38I'm sorry.
13:39Bankrupt?
13:41We had all our money invested in new developments.
13:44We couldn't shift them.
13:45And then when the market collapsed, didn't we?
13:47Can you...
13:47Can you...
13:48We're having a conversation here.
13:49Could you just stop, please?
13:50Ruby, Ruby.
13:51You can't do this.
13:52You can't let them do this, John.
13:54We're in debt, big time.
13:56We need to pay it back.
14:05Have you two noticed anything strange about Steph lately?
14:09Mm-mm.
14:11Oh, come on, guys.
14:14Look, if there's something going on, I want to know.
14:17Look, if there's one thing you should have learned about Steph, John,
14:21she'll do anything to get out of a bit of hard graft.
14:23Including giving your side of the fence a shot
14:26in the hope that she can get out of going on another of your training courses.
14:31No.
14:36You can't seriously be telling me that she'd rather try it on with me
14:39than go on another course.
14:41Well, um, there's only one way to find out.
14:46Hmm.
14:59Yeah, I thought Mrs Fryer was taking this class.
15:01She is.
15:02She'll be back any minute.
15:03So what are we meant to do until then?
15:04We're supposed to have this lunch ready in an hour.
15:06Check this.
15:06Just, um...
15:08Oh, just get on with what she set you before break.
15:11Oh, we're supposed to be doing this taste testing thing, innit?
15:12Well, check, these are well expensive.
15:14I doubt you work.
15:15So can you put them back, please?
15:17Er, Bolton.
15:17Oh, that's minging!
15:19Bolton!
15:20Look, we've got to try it before we serve it.
15:22Look, can you just put it back?
15:24Please.
15:25Bolton, just give me it.
15:27Give me it.
15:28Bolton!
15:29Bolton!
15:31Ruby.
15:33What are you doing?
15:35We need to talk.
15:37Get this sorted.
15:38No, you need to get it sorted and I need to get back to work.
15:41Please, you don't have to be like this.
15:44How do you expect me to be, John?
15:46Hooray!
15:47You've thrown it all away.
15:49Ruby, wait.
16:16Sit down right now, all of you.
16:23Not to you, Miss Hopewell.
16:27I've cussed you to keep us safe and you've failed.
16:30Look, I tried, but it's not as...
16:31You didn't!
16:32You've lost us everything.
16:34I took a risk.
16:36That's how we got all our stuff in the first place.
16:37Take another one.
16:38Get it back.
16:39I've tried.
16:40Can you not see that?
16:41Do you know all I see is you lying to me the last couple of months, telling me everything's
16:46fine.
16:47How could you let me find out like that, John?
16:50Because I knew you'd act like this when you did.
16:52Caring more about your precious lifestyle than you do about me.
16:56You what?
16:57Have you asked me one question about how I feel about this yet?
17:00It's you who's got us into this mess!
17:02Yeah, and it's me who's killed himself for the last two months getting us out of it, whilst
17:06you spend any money we've got left on expensive, pointless crap!
17:10Just to show off what you've got.
17:12Our house is about to be repossessed, and we've lost everything.
17:16Anyone want to blame it on me?
17:18Spending some money and a few ingredients.
17:20And designer clothes, and boxes full of jewellery, and top of the range, everything else you just
17:25have to have.
17:26It's not my wardrobe that's bankrupt the flaming company!
17:29No, but it didn't exactly help.
17:31It's all you seem to care about, Ruby.
17:34I mean, would you actually have preferred it if I had been having an affair?
17:36Is that it?
17:37At least we could have got through that job and got back to normal, because now I've got
17:41no choice whether I work in this dump or not!
17:45I'm trapped here!
17:47Like the rest of them!
17:55Ruby, should we have a little chat, in private?
18:00Yeah.
18:02Okay.
18:07Mind telling me what the hell's going on?
18:11Um, wait, we're having a few issues.
18:15Yes, I heard.
18:16So did most of the flaming school.
18:18I did tell John that...
18:20Ruby, things might be tough for you right now, but today is an important one for me too,
18:24and I could do without a key member of my staff having a screaming match down the corridor
18:28while I'm trying to show parents around.
18:30I'm sorry.
18:31That won't happen again.
18:34I need every one of my John Foster's team on top form right now.
18:38Particularly you.
18:40Can you handle that?
18:43Yep.
18:44Is there a problem?
18:46No.
18:47We're done now.
18:48I'm in Ruby.
18:49Yes.
18:50Good.
18:58Um, the LEA rep's arrived.
19:00They're early?
19:01It's all right.
19:02Do I can speak with her?
19:02No, it's fine.
19:03I'll do the introductions myself.
19:05No, it just makes me really old.
19:07Uh, Max, this is, uh, Jennifer Headley from the LEA.
19:10Have you met before?
19:11Of course.
19:14Good to see you again.
19:16I've, uh, just been telling Jennifer about the tours and things.
19:19Do you want me to show her around?
19:20Uh, do you know what?
19:21I'll take Jennifer around myself one-to-one.
19:24Gives a chance to catch up.
19:29Did you see how crazy she went?
19:31Divorce.
19:32Divorce.
19:51Everything all right?
19:53Yes.
19:54It's fine.
20:09Right, let's pick up where we left off before break, shall we?
20:16Miss, you okay?
20:18Yes, I'm fine.
20:24Let's carry on where we left off before the break, shall we?
20:28Like I just said.
20:30Miss, we can't.
20:33Half your stuff's missing.
20:45Where's it gone?
20:51This is £150 a pot.
20:55It's not pot noodle.
20:56Well, I hope you kept the receipt, because you might need your money back.
21:04Do you think this is funny?
21:06I'm just saying.
21:06Sounds like you need to make some cutbacks.
21:12No, I think she's right, actually.
21:20Oh, I suppose my life is one big joke to you all now, isn't it?
21:25Ha, ha, ha.
21:28Ha, ha, ha.
21:28Ha, ha, ha, ha.
21:33Oh, please, please, please.
21:34Oh, yes.
21:37She's...
21:38Rachel.
21:43So, how are things going today?
21:45A lot easier if certain members of staff let me get on one line job.
21:49Rachel.
21:49She thinks she has an answer for everything.
21:51Oh, sounds like someone else I know.
21:54Isn't there some clause you can use to get rid of her?
21:57I'm not here to make an assessment, Max.
21:59The governors can make up their own mind about Rachel's capabilities.
22:02And our relationship stands for nothing, does it?
22:04No, this is business, remember?
22:06Now, when you see what I've done with her kids, just remember,
22:09it's my initiatives and not hers that have done it.
22:13Go, Frank!
22:13Go, Frank!
22:16Go, Frank!
22:17Go, Frank!
22:18Go, Frank!
22:19Go, Frank!
22:20Hey, what's awesome, was it?
22:21Ruby?
22:23Right!
22:23Everyone out!
22:24Now!
22:26Michaela, you stay and clean this mess up.
22:29What?
22:29Do it!
22:35Ruby, what's got into you?
22:38Jen?
22:39Long time no see.
22:41How are you?
22:41Good, thanks.
22:42You?
22:43Same as always, keeping Max in check.
22:45We need to keep a closer eye by the look of it.
22:47Why am I so?
22:49Chris, look, could you close this corridor off for me, please?
22:51There aren't any parents coming down here.
22:53Sure.
22:54Is Ruby okay?
22:54Yeah, she'll be fine.
22:55Is there anything I can do?
22:58Maybe you could just wait in the hall while I've got this sorted out.
23:02Oh, we should be around for dinner soon.
23:03It's been too long.
23:04Sounds great.
23:09Chris, I could do with the people not knowing I'm married, okay?
23:13Especially not Kim.
23:15What's going on?
23:21You and Kim.
23:24Could really do with the help today, Chris.
23:26Oh, of course.
23:27Let's just help you sort this out.
23:29Keep an eye on Jennifer, okay?
23:32Please.
23:33It's a boy's only chat, is it?
23:35No, we've just got rid of the situation in there.
23:38Right.
23:38Do you want to come in with a quick word?
23:40Yeah.
23:41I'll leave this with you, yeah?
23:42Yeah.
24:06I don't know why you look so upset.
24:08I'm the one who's got to clean up your mess.
24:14Miss?
24:22Miss?
24:26So have I left?
24:27If you could, carry on straight down to the next class alarm, please, ladies and friends.
24:30I'm afraid you've had a bit of a spillage, have you?
24:32Oh, I'll come catch up with you.
24:35What's going on?
24:36There's been a bit of an incident with Ruby at lunch.
24:39Is that serious, is it?
24:39I'm not sure.
24:40You'd have to ask Max.
24:43Oh, Chris, you know this woman we've got in at the moment from the LEA, Jennifer Hadley?
24:46Do you know anything about her?
24:47Oh.
24:48She's just the usual local authority troubleshooter, I think.
24:58Jennifer?
25:00Are you okay?
25:02Er, Max was just looking for you.
25:03Oh, he was busy.
25:04I thought I'd show myself around.
25:06I bet we could have a chat instead.
25:07I could probably deal with a different perspective for once.
25:09Have you and Max met a few times before then?
25:11You could say that, yeah.
25:12Jennifer?
25:15Max has asked me to talk to you about some of the things that we're doing in science.
25:18Is now a good time?
25:19Yeah.
25:20Looks like we'll have to do this later then.
25:22Yeah.
25:23Er, enjoy.
25:49Look!
25:51How do you know?
25:52Someone must have dropped them down there.
25:58I don't know what the big deal is, they don't even taste nice.
26:02Come on, aren't you going to thank me?
26:04You can get some money back off them.
26:08£9.50?
26:11It's caviar substitute.
26:13They're £4.75 a jar.
26:15Didn't think I'd trust you lot with the real thing, did you?
26:21Well, you've got them back now.
26:24At least you've got something to smile about.
26:27Do you have any idea what I'm having to deal with right now?
26:33Yeah, we heard you out there.
26:36You didn't catch me freaking out like that when Bolton broke up with me.
26:41Do you honestly think this is anywhere near the same?
26:45Michaela is not some teenage breakup.
26:48It's serious.
26:50Yeah, me and Bolton were serious.
26:55It's not even in the same league.
26:59I've lost everything.
27:02Everything.
27:10This morning, you told me it didn't matter what you had or where you came from.
27:15You're not mean that then?
27:16And here we go.

35:02oh congratulations
35:05we should be just about getting to lunch
35:08we should be just about getting to lunch
35:39Alright. Gloves please, Michaela. One each.
36:12Lovely.
36:15Rachel, what's happened about this lunch?
36:18Ruby's handling it.
36:20I thought I told you to keep her out of it.
36:22Are you deliberately trying to undermine everything I do?
36:29Ladies and gentlemen, if I could just have your attention,
36:33I'm afraid we've had a slight technical hitch with your lunch.
36:36Ahem. Let's speak too soon.
36:42But...
36:43It...
36:45It now seems that we're ready for you.
36:49Apologies for the delay.
37:06Chris, I don't think I can take much more of this.
37:08What?
37:09He's been bad-mouthing Waterloo Road all day.
37:12Hanging his own staff out to dry.
37:14And he's acting like everything's okay when it just isn't.
37:17And I think that someone should let Jennifer know the truth.
37:19Rachel.
37:21What?
37:22There's something you should know about her and Max before you say anything.
37:27Come on.
37:31You know Josh hates football.
37:33He told me he started to like it.
37:34That's because he wants you to like him.
37:38We've obviously got a lot to learn about each other.
37:40Yeah.
37:41We've not exactly been given much time, have we?
37:43Yeah, I know.
37:43I did a stupid thing.
37:47I'm sorry.
37:49We need you in his life, Tom.
37:52I just wish I hadn't taken that long to realise it.
37:57No, I...
37:59I wouldn't have been ready then, to be honest.
38:03What's done is done.
38:05There's no point worrying about it.
38:07If we're going to be any sort of a family to him, then...
38:09We've got to get over it.
38:11Start getting on for his sake.
38:14I'm going to start paying more attention to what's going on in his life.
38:17Still time to teach him he likes football.
38:21Josh!
38:22They're married?
38:24Yeah.
38:25He's full of surprises.
38:26Oh, you don't know the half of it.
38:28Yeah.
38:30You know about Kim, then?
38:35Chris, I can't keep pretending to myself that I stand a chance here anymore.
38:39Max clearly wants me out. His wife's in charge of the borough.
38:42If he wanted to use his wife to get rid of you, he'd have done it ages ago.
38:46Trust me.
38:47He's got far more to worry about in this than you have.
38:51Look.
38:52If people start thinking that he only got the job because of her, he'd be finished.
38:57Believe me.
39:05Ruby, you've really done wonders with this lunch.
39:08Mmm, corned beef.
39:10Well done, Ruby.
39:12It makes a refreshing change to have some good, honest fare, instead of the usual poncy nonsense you get at
39:16these things.
39:17I'm not lucky to get anything at all after this afternoon's performance.
39:22Look, I'm sorry about what happened earlier, and I know that I didn't handle it very well.
39:28I won't dwell on it, Ruby, really.
39:30We've all allowed our personal lives to affect our work at one time or another, haven't we?
39:34We try to support our staff whenever we can, don't we, Max?
39:38Yes, Max.
39:39Why don't you show your support for your team for once instead of trying to take all the credit for
39:42yourself?
39:45Excuse me, everyone, if I could have your attention, please.
39:54I'd just like to say a very big thank you and congratulations to all our staff, old and new, who
40:02have been working behind the scenes today to make sure that this merger and Open Day has been such a
40:09great success.
40:10Yes, I'm sure that all our visitors will agree with me when I say that we couldn't have found a
40:16better school to join than Waterloo Road.
40:30Kim, I'm so sorry we didn't get a chance to speak earlier today.
40:33No, no.
40:34Jennifer, sorry, I think that we'd better get you going. Your taxi will be waiting.
40:38Right. It was nice to meet you, though. Maybe next time.
40:41Yes. Bye-bye.
40:42See you next time.
40:52Voila. Fully registered. Start the course next week.
40:56It's all right, Steph. You made it pretty clear that you didn't want to go.
40:59No, I do. I do. And I've got to stop avoiding responsibility.
41:04And start working with me.
41:06Mm-hmm.
41:07Honestly.
41:08Mm-hmm.
41:13There's someone else that could do with an apology.
41:15Hey, why? I didn't make us smash the classroom up.
41:18No, but you've not exactly been supportive since she's been here.
41:30Look, if you've come to gloat, let's just get it over and done with.
41:35Well, I haven't, actually.
41:37Me and Joe are thinking of going out for a drink and we just wondered if you fancied it.
41:45But, erm, I should be going home, really.
41:48See if I've still got one.
41:49Well, let me give you a lift, then.
41:51Look, it's really sweet of you, but...
41:53Ruby, listen.
41:54We don't have to be best friends, but you're stuck with us now, so we might as well get on.
41:59In any way, it's the least I can do.
42:01Give something back.
42:02Great.
42:04That means the gossip vine won't be twice as powerful.
42:06I wouldn't worry.
42:08I'd give it a week before they're back at each other's throats.
42:15Hey.
42:15You all right to give it a lift home?
42:17Er, yeah, of course I can.
42:20Come in a minute.
42:25Er, everyone.
42:29This is Josh.
42:31My son.
42:40Rachel.
42:41Oh, Jennifer, I thought you were gone.
42:42I want to say thanks for today.
42:44I think you've done a really great job with the schools.
42:47Oh, well, it wasn't all my doing, it's a team effort, you know.
42:50Of course, but I wanted to congratulate you personally.
42:52I know Max can be tough and I'm glad to see you're up to the job.
42:55Thank you, that's good to know.
42:58His bark's worse than his bite, trust me.
43:00Look, if you ever need my help, just give me a call.
43:03I know a trick or two to keep him in line.
43:06Thank you, Jennifer.
43:07Okay, bye.
43:08See you.
43:17Max?
43:19Can I have a word?
43:22Can you wait till tomorrow?
43:25Not really.
43:27I'll wait.
43:30What is it now?
43:35What's this?
43:37Just a little video reminder of what we got up to last year on the school trip.
43:42Something I'm sure you'd hate to get into the wrong hands.
43:48What are you trying to say, Helen?
43:49I'm saying that...
43:54I'm saying you just better be careful how you treat me in future.
44:09Just you listen here.
44:10You listen to me, Max.
44:12I'm sick of being pushed aside all the time.
44:15You know, pretending nothing ever happened, so...
44:17Unless you start treating me with a bit more respect...
44:22Then there's plenty more copies where this came from.
44:27Go home, Helen.
44:47The bailiffs had to take anything of value,
44:50but I managed to save some of your things.
44:53I wasn't sure what you wanted to do with them.
45:00Sell them.
45:03I don't need them, John.
45:06I need you.
45:09I'm so sorry.
45:11I've said some stupid things today.
45:17We used to be about more than what we had.
45:20Yeah, and we still are.
45:22That doesn't have to change.
45:25I'm sorry.
45:27I should have told you about it all sooner.
45:30I was...
45:32I was just scared about losing you as well.
45:34Well...
45:39Oh...
45:40I can do without any of that other...
45:42crap.
45:46We should be able to get by on my salary.
45:49You know, we can manage until you get yourself back on your feet.
45:52I thought you hated that school.
45:56Erm...
45:56Well, maybe it's not as bad as it seems.
45:59I might have actually made some progress today.
46:15There's not many men in here.
46:17I thought you wanted something a bit different.
46:22Well, here's to something a bit different.
46:25Heyo.
46:33What's she saying?
46:35Erm...
46:36She wants a dance.
46:39Oi! Legs!
46:42Do one.
46:43She's all mine.
46:48Hey, I could get used to this, being the man in the relationship.
46:52Looks like we make a good couple.
46:57So tell me, Steph, because I'm dying to know.
47:01Would you have let me kiss you if I'd have gone for it this afternoon?
47:06That's for me to know.
47:07No.
47:09Come on.
47:13Let's dance.
47:37It's good.
47:37It's great.
47:38It's good.
47:59I'm a little miss.
