00:23I am an intelligent, successful woman.
00:30I'm a good teacher and today is going to go smoothly.
00:36Come on in.
00:39Give me half an hour and we can drive in together.
00:45I can't wait that long.
00:46Got some paperwork to catch up on.
00:50I'm going to jump in this hour.
00:54I'll see you at work then, yeah?
00:57Yeah.
01:07Kim.
01:08Max, listen, if you've got anything to say, just tell me the management meeting, alright?
01:11Let's try and keep this professional, okay?
01:29Hi, Miss.
01:31When's your next party?
01:33Well, just check your diary and get back to me, yeah?
01:36Check out Robwell's ugly mug.
01:39Can I see that, please?
01:41Don't worry, Miss.
01:42It's not like anyone's seen it or anything.
01:44Yeah, it's not like it's on half the mobiles in Rochdale.
01:51Oh, what a space cadet.
01:54Morning.
01:55Good weekend, everyone.
01:57Yeah, not bad, you know.
02:01Shall we start?
02:06As I'm sure you're all aware, Mr Walker from the LEA is coming in today to assess Helen
02:10Hopewell's performance.
02:11Yeah, since when did we need an outside adjudicator to inspect our own NQTs?
02:15Well, I think it's fairer to get an impartial opinion.
02:19Meaning you two don't see eye to eye on the subject.
02:24I would like Helen to pull this off as much as anyone else, but, you know, with the party
02:29debacle and all her other disasters, I've got serious doubts.
02:33How do you rate Helen's performance, Max?
02:37Well, I think that she's got potential.
02:39Yes.
02:40But as we have all seen this term, that potential hasn't come to fruition, has it?
02:44Well, isn't the point of getting an outside inspector so that he can judge whether she's
02:47up to the job or not?
02:49You know, maybe none of us are objective enough to be able to judge the people we work with
02:53every day.
02:59Is there any other business to discuss?
03:01Or should we wrap it up?
03:02Er, no, I've got something.
03:04At the end of terms coming up, I thought it might be nice to celebrate.
03:07You know, show just how far the school's come since the merger.
03:10Sounds good.
03:11Hmm.
03:12Okay.
03:13Yes, I think it's a great idea, Kim.
03:15Leave it to me.
03:20So are we finished?
03:24Well, great meeting everyone.
03:25I can't wait for the next one.
03:32Hey!
03:33I've got a bone to pick with you, young lady.
03:36Why?
03:36What have I done?
03:37Next time you decide to have a wild party, I would like to be invited.
03:41Even if it is for the under-sixteens.
03:45I had hoped all that would be forgotten.
03:47Well, that's the thing with modern technology.
03:50Nothing's ever forgotten.
03:53Hey.
03:54Don't worry.
03:56I'm sure having the authority and common sense of a traumatised door mouse won't impact negatively
04:02on your LEA review.
04:07Excuse me.
04:09Another one bites the dust.
04:11It's just an inspection.
04:12We've all had them.
04:13Hmm.
04:14But we can teach our way out of a paper bag.
04:18I've seen Rottweilers with less bite than the three of you in there this morning.
04:21It was nothing.
04:23Nothing?
04:23Right.
04:24That's why you practically ran out of the room.
04:26Chris.
04:30I told Kim.
04:33Judging by the Arctic conditions we enjoyed earlier, I'm assuming she didn't take it too
04:37well.
04:37No, she didn't.
04:38Well, she's as good as accused me of lying and then, before I knew it, Max was...
04:43Max was what?
04:46Erm...
04:46Fine.
04:47If you won't tell me, I'll go and ask him.
04:48I really don't want to make a big deal out of this.
04:50I won't overreact.
04:55Max came round.
04:56He came to your house.
04:57And we had words, and...
05:01Well, he might have, you know, he might have pushed me a bit.
05:04He pushed you?
05:07I don't believe this.
05:08I mean, I knew that Max had a temper, but...
05:11Are you okay?
05:12Yeah, I'm fine.
05:13I'm a bit shaken up.
05:14Don't really want to be in a room alone with him, but I'm fine.
05:16No, well, you won't be.
05:17Not till I've put him straight about a few things anyway.
05:19No, no, no.
05:20I really need to deal with this myself, Chris.
05:23You know, we've got a school to run here.
05:25The last thing I need is you and Max at loggerheads.
05:27But, Rachel, he shouldn't be coming round to your house.
05:29Thank you for the offer, but no.
05:32Don't make me pull rank on you.
05:36Here we go.
05:38No.
05:39An inspector calls.
05:52Buzz!
05:54Buzz?
05:55He was in that S.A. Clarkson yet?
05:57Where's the rest of them?
05:59Who?
06:00I can't remember the last time I saw you without your Year 10 cheer squad.
06:04Yeah, well, maybe I'm sick of hanging around with him. They're just kids.
06:07I know. How come it's took you so long to realise that?
06:10Why? Why are you being so moody?
06:12Just cos you don't want to hang around with them anymore
06:14doesn't mean you can pick up where you left off with me.
06:23Helen.
06:25Mr Walker from the LA.
06:27You must be Miss Hopewell.
06:32Would you like to wait in my office?
06:34Yes, of course.
06:34Yeah? OK.
06:35Oh, Mr Davis, would you mind leading the way to my office?
06:39Yes, of course, it's fine.
06:40Thank you. I'll be right behind.
06:43Sorry, it's just...
06:45Well, he came over and I didn't know what to say.
06:47Hello. It'd be a good start, wouldn't it?
06:49Look, you're not doing yourself any favours getting in an estate like this.
06:53Why don't you go and get a cup of tea from the staff room?
06:55Just try and calm down a bit, you know?
06:56Yeah.
06:58Yeah, yeah, um...
07:00OK, thanks. Thanks, Rachel.
07:02No, it's alright.
07:05Miss Hopewell looked like she was going to puke on his shirt then.
07:09Yeah, it must be dead important.
07:15What do you think? Hot off the press. I'm making this a priority.
07:20Yeah, it's a good idea.
07:23It used to be a tradition at John Foster's. No reason why it shouldn't work here, too.
07:27Nope.
07:28This was the sort of thing you were talking about, yeah?
07:30Yes.
07:32Yes, it's just the kind of thing.
07:38Oh, you're moving into pastoral care, are you, Max?
07:42Go ahead, you'll be running this place single-handed.
07:44It's all Kim's idea.
07:46A good way for the kids to let off steam.
07:50Uh, Chris, you used to help out with the show at John Foster's, didn't you?
07:54Yeah, but I've got a lot on my plate at the minute.
07:56I don't think I'll have time to help.
08:00Oh, don't worry, Max, because, um, you know, I can do it, if you want a hand.
08:05Excellent, thank you. Um, the auditions of this afternoon.
08:08Need some judges to separate the wheat from the chaff.
08:12Uh, well, it's supposed to be fun.
08:14There's no reason why we can't keep the standards high.
08:17Any other volunteers?
08:18Not like you to take an interest in extracurricular activities, Max?
08:21No, I wouldn't say that.
08:24Sorry, Grantley, have you got something to say there?
08:30All right, everybody, listen up.
08:33I'm only gonna say this once.
08:34Clearly, you've all been informed about me and Max.
08:37Cheers for that, by the way, Steph.
08:39Hey, they didn't all hear it from me.
08:40Well, just so that we're all reading from the same page,
08:43you can stop your gossiping.
08:46Because it's over.
08:48Me and Max are no longer together.
08:51So why don't you all stop behaving like kids and get back to being teachers?
08:56Ooh, someone woke up on the wrong side of no-one this morning.
09:00Shut up, Grantley.
09:02Thanks for volunteering.
09:04You and Ruby are doing the auditions.
09:09Kim, I'm so sorry.
09:10There's nothing worse than gossip, especially when it's not the whole story.
09:14Yeah, and you're lucky that I didn't tell them the whole story,
09:16because it wouldn't be your reputation,
09:17much good everyone knowing that you're still married, would it?
09:22You sounded pretty definite in there.
09:26About us being over.
09:27Max, don't look so down in the mouth about it.
09:30When it's not like you're single, is it?
09:40Hi, Miss Hopewell.
09:42Just said hello.
09:43Didn't mean to scare you.
09:44Can you go, please, Amy? I'm busy.
09:47Who was that guy you were talking to earlier, miss?
09:50Was he here to inspect the school or something?
09:53Not the school, no.
09:55Is he here to inspect you?
10:02Are you nervous?
10:05I would be.
10:08Don't worry about it, though.
10:09You'll be all right.
10:11As long as no one starts acting up or anything.
10:13Well, if only wishing made it so.
10:17Do you want me to tell everyone not to mess about?
10:20What?
10:21I could, you know.
10:22They'd listen to me.
10:23I don't think so, Amy.
10:25Oh, come on, miss.
10:27Not like anyone would know.
10:28It's only for one day.
10:30Don't see what the harm is.
10:31And what do you get out of this?
10:34Fifty quid should be enough.
10:40You could, um...
10:43You can...
10:45You can really make the whole class behave.
10:52I've only got twenty quid, haven't I?
10:55Just lucky I like you.
11:15What's your talent, then?
11:16I'm Marvin Off.
11:17Don't count.
11:17Take it seriously, why don't you?
11:19If you're so clever, why don't you sign up?
11:22No problem.
11:23If anyone in this school's got talent, it's us.
11:25Being repellent to the opposite sex isn't a talent.
11:29Cow.
11:30Don't worry about her.
11:35Oh, for heaven's sake, there must be fifty names here.
11:38See your lunchtime, sir, and...
11:40We don't expect any special treatment.
11:42Yeah.
11:42I mean, we know you can spot talent when you see it.
11:52Hey.
11:53I've just come to wish you luck with the inspector.
11:56It's just a formality.
11:58No biggie.
11:58I know it might have seemed like I've been distracted lately, but I am your head of department, so if
12:03there's anything you ever need.
12:05Tom, relax.
12:07Mr. Walker seems like a nice enough chap.
12:11Today's gonna be a breeze.
12:13Trust me.
12:14Great.
12:21The merger must have really changed the landscape round here.
12:24New pupils, new teachers...
12:26Well, I like to think Waterloo Row can handle anything that's thrown our way.
12:29Still, it can't have been easy.
12:31Two schools under one roof.
12:33Yeah, but we're one school now.
12:34We seem to be doing okay, so...
12:36But you still felt the need to bring in an impartial inspector to assess Miss Hopewell's performance?
12:40Erm, it's left here, Mr Walker.
12:57Here, keep your lot quiet, yeah?
12:59Or what?
13:00This is easy money, right? Don't wreck it.
13:02Quietly, guys, please.
13:07Hopewell must be so desperate.
13:10Did you see them at home?
13:12Yeah, when they were dancing.
13:16You two, shut up!
13:18Something they're trying to learn here.
13:20Glad to see you're all ready to work.
13:23Let's get down to it, shall we?
13:26Today, I wanna talk a little bit about the different ways in which we use language.
13:30Now, I don't just mean speaking or reading.
13:33What I mean is what we intend to do to other people using the tool of language.
13:41Okay, Helen?
13:42Mm-hmm.
13:44Carry on, Miss Hopewell.
13:45Don't mind me.
13:47Er, since when can anyone just wander in it?
13:51Amy, turn to the front, please.
13:53Mr Walker's here to keep an eye on me, not you.
13:56Yes, Miss Hopewell.
13:59Persuasive language. How's it used? Anyone?
14:02Er, yes, I'm Booker Kelly.
14:04Erm, to change someone's opinion.
14:06Excellent! Yeah, well done.
14:10We'll just take a look at these attitudes and, er, yes, the poem London by William Bray.
14:18This poem is a poison tree.
14:23I was angry with my phone, I told it not.
14:27Night and morning with my tears, and I sundered my...
14:39Hi.
14:42Sit tight.
14:43Won't go long.
14:46Well, if Miss Hopewell's anything to go by, you've got yourself an extremely good school here.
14:50Well, I'm glad you think so. Of course, I never had any doubt.
14:54I did handpick Helen myself.
14:56Yes, she was in control.
14:58Calm.
14:59Seemed to relate well.
15:01Articulate well.
15:01Sounds like future head of department material to me.
15:04Let's not get ahead of ourselves.
15:06Still, credit where credit's due.
15:08Would you like to break the good news to Helen, or shall I?
15:21Oh, my God, I failed, didn't I?
15:23You did really well, Helen.
15:30Aren't you a bit old for video games?
15:34No, it's for Josh, not me.
15:36Things aren't too good at home.
15:38He needed something to put a smile on his face.
15:40You know, me and my Maxine.
15:43Whenever she was in a mood, or one of us was a bit down,
15:45we'd curl up on the sofa with a big bar of chocolate and have a good old mood.
15:48Somehow, I don't think me and Josh curled up on the sofa plaiting each other's hair
15:52is going to be any good to either of us.
15:54Why don't you do boys things with him?
15:57Kick a football about, make mud pies or whatever.
16:00It's not what you do, it's the spending time with him that's important.
16:04The kids, they'll never admit it, but often that's all they want.
16:07I passed.
16:08Oh, well done.
16:09God, I am so relieved.
16:11Check which way the water's running down the plug hole the world has upended itself.
16:16I passed.
16:18Someone's happy.
16:20I've just got to go check on my next class.
16:22Well, for about time we started seeing why everyone at John Foster's were so mad about her.
16:28Well, see, I'm not sure they were.
16:30I thought she was a bit of a star at the last place.
16:33I'm going to take my coffee and walk away from that one.
16:36Hey, come on.
16:37I mean, you said yourself I'm new at this head of department thing.
16:40I mean, if you know something about Helen, it might help me to help her.
16:43All I just know that the head of department at John Foster's didn't really rate her.
16:47Wouldn't have employed her to make the tea.
16:49Well, maybe Max saw something in her that he didn't.
16:52Max Tyler has always been very supportive of his staff.
16:55That's just the way he does things.
16:57Yeah, I'm sure that's it.
17:03Rose.
17:04Hey.
17:05You couldn't do us a favor, could you love?
17:07Make us up to impact lunches for later.
17:09Oh, you're too good to queue with the rest of them, are you?
17:11I've got a field trip planned, just me and Josh.
17:15How does cheese not pickle grab you?
17:17You're a star.
17:19And you're not going to tell me where you're going?
17:21An old Clarkson family haunt.
17:32Hey, May.
17:33But you really shouldn't be in here at break time.
17:36Just came to see if you were pleased with how the inspection went.
17:39Yeah.
17:41Yeah, our little arrangement seemed to work well, thank you.
17:45But you really should be going-
17:4650 quid a week and you won't get any trouble off anyone, ever.
17:53No.
17:56We agreed that this was a one-off.
17:59Doesn't have to be.
18:00My mum's dead tight and, well, the girl's got to look good, hasn't she?
18:04Amy, I can't give you any more money.
18:07Miss, you need me.
18:09You passed one inspection, so what?
18:11You need help on a daily basis.
18:13Think about it.
18:13Every day, kids running wild, no one learning anything.
18:17Mason on your back the whole time.
18:19Do you really think no one's going to notice?
18:21It's not going to be like that anymore.
18:24There are people in this school who believe in me and I'm not going to let them down.
18:27Miss, don't be daft. Why don't you just hand it over?
18:30Why are you making such a big deal about it?
18:31Amy, I said no.
18:32No.
18:33And I meant no.
18:36PHONE RINGS
18:40Er, guys, straight to your desks. Please settle down.
18:49So, get any more money of hope, well then, or what?
18:53Well, there's no point not telling us.
18:55She won't keep paying if we don't keep quiet.
18:58Why don't you just tell them, Amy?
19:00She got nothing.
19:01Hope I won't give her any.
19:03She's not going to get away with it.
19:05Oh yeah, and what are you going to do?
19:07Well?
19:07Yeah, so much for being tough, Amy.
19:09You might just have to get her paper on like the rest of us.
19:12Stick to following Lindsay round, eh?
19:13Yeah, at least she gets stuff done.
19:16I'm going to get Hopewell for this.
19:18Why can't you just leave it?
19:20We're going to teach her not to mess with us.
19:22Amy, no.
19:23What do you mean, no?
19:24I don't want to.
19:25But we're a gang.
19:26Yeah.
19:27Well, maybe I don't want to be anymore.
19:37Yes?
19:38Miss Mason?
19:39Amy, yeah, come in.
19:40How can I help you?
19:42There's something I need to tell you.
19:43It's about Miss Hopewell.
19:51You may as well give up everyone.
19:53Because the stars of the show are in the building.
19:56What in the...?
20:00Josh.
20:01I need to borrow you.
20:03Catch up on the set, yeah?
20:05You're going to need these.
20:06Come on.
20:12I hope you're planning on auditioning after doing all the hard work.
20:18Um, Mr Budgen said we won't have to audition.
20:21He said if we helped out with the judging then we'd get a free pass.
20:23Did he?
20:25Did he?
20:26Mr Budgen, could you come here a minute, please?
20:37The problem is there?
20:39Mr Tyler asked us to judge the auditions, not the sixth formers.
20:43Mm-hmm.
20:44It's called delegation.
20:45And it's also called me eating my lunch in peace.
20:49Nice try.
20:50Erm, I am afraid that we're going to be judging the auditions.
20:52It's on Mr Tyler's request.
20:54But I've been practising Miss Simon Cowell all morning.
20:57Let us not disappoint the little children, Miss Fry.
21:00You ought to be licking my boobs for this.
21:02No, because when I say I'm going to do something, I do it.
21:07Well, can't all four of us be judges?
21:09Oh, yes, fine.
21:10That includes you, so sit down.
21:16Hey.
21:17Oh, she's gone mad.
21:18Let me guess.
21:19Amy.
21:20She always has to take things too far.
21:22Why can't she just leave it alone?
21:23I don't know what you're going on about.
21:25Well, this morning, right, Amy had a fight.
21:26I didn't say I wanted to, no.
21:28Look, I want to be with you, not Amy.
21:30Come and find me when you've got time for someone else.
21:32Yes.
21:34Hey!
21:37Oh!
21:42Judges only.
21:42The queue's outside.
21:43Look, I'm sorry, alright?
21:44Is that meant to be an apology?
21:47Well, I want this to be mates, but I'm not going to beg.
21:49I've gone out of my way so many times for you!
21:52All you do is just turn your back and run off with you stupid guy.
21:55Yeah, well, I said I'm sorry, didn't I?
21:56Maybe I don't believe you.
22:06Right, ready?
22:09Who's first, please?
22:22Where are we?
22:25My grandad's old allotment.
22:28Spent most of my evenings up here as a kid.
22:32I thought you might be interested in where the clerks and men used to spend their time.
22:36Now that you are one.
22:43Here you go.
22:45Just give it a chance, eh?
22:50Cheese.
22:52No pickle.
22:53Don't say I never spoil you.
22:57Second thoughts.
22:58Might as well stay for a bit now, eh?
23:01Well, I'll say this for you.
23:03You're definitely a Clarkson.
23:15And crude.
23:17Next!
23:22Can you just get off, please?
23:29Is this your card?
23:34Next!
23:35Something about this allotment.
23:39It doesn't matter what's going on in the rest of the world.
23:41Up here, it's just peace and quiet.
23:44Sound like an advert from the 50s.
23:49Maybe I should have bought you that video game, eh?
23:52What?
23:53You was going to get me a game, but old Noddy decided to bring me here instead.
23:57Yeah.
23:58I did.
24:00Anyone can buy you things, can't they?
24:03Only I can show you where you come from.
24:05And this is it, is it?
24:08This is it.
24:10This allotment.
24:12That old shed.
24:14My mum's house.
24:16You being my son's got a lot more to do than just you and me.
24:20You've got a whole family out there you haven't met.
24:23And I intend to make you feel a part of that.
24:37Who choreographed that?
24:40I'd rather not say.
24:42Never, ever do that again.
24:45Do you understand?
24:46Yeah, all right.
24:49Has anyone got a pen handy?
24:52Or a pencil?
24:53Anything that I can lobotomise myself with.
24:57All right.
24:58Whoa!
25:04Whoa!
25:09Really?
25:35That's between you and your wife.
25:40What did you think? That you could just get divorced and I'd forget about all the lies?
25:45I don't expect to be forgiven. I know you well enough to know that promises and gestures
25:49aren't going to get them very far. But because of what we had, I don't want to be married
25:58to someone I'm not in love with. It's not enough for me anymore. You made me see that.
26:04So you accept that it is over between us then? I'll never accept it because it's not what
26:10I want. But I respect your decision. The fact that you're your own woman is one of the reasons
26:19why I fell in love with you. I can hardly be surprised if you won't put up with what I've
26:24done. I love you and I've ruined what we could have had. I'm going to have to live with that.
26:39Are you serious? You're going to get a divorcee even if we're not together?
26:47And for the record, I'm sorry if your getting involved with me has compromised your position
26:57at this school. Sorry. Can we just have a minute please?
27:02Actually, no. Look, Amy Porter's just been to see me and I know why Helen passed that inspection.
27:11Hiya. Hello. If it is a Waterloo Road star teacher. Well done. I just came to say thanks
27:18for earlier and I'm sorry if I got in a bit of a state. Oh, hey, what do you reckon
27:24to an
27:24after-school book club? Oh, yes. Well, you know, mention it to Max.
27:28Oh, there'll be no stopping you now, will there? Helen, Rachel needs a word in our office.
27:33Oh, actually, there's something I want to run past you if that's okay. Now, look, I know
27:36book clubs can be a bit fuddy-duddy now. Now, please.
27:43These days, even those that can't teach, teach.
27:46Well, now, Grantley, just because Helen shows more aptitude for the profession than you.
27:51Yeah, well, being Max's little pet project doesn't make her a good teacher. Could have
27:56got the job the old-fashioned way for all we know. Yeah, I mean, through a rigorous application
28:03process, of course. Still, it wouldn't surprise me we know how he likes to mix business with
28:08pleasure. You know, idle gossip's one thing, Grantley, but casting aspersions on Max's professionalism,
28:13you ought to be ashamed of yourself.
28:17So, Helen, you didn't pay Amy Porter to keep the class quiet during her inspection?
28:23No.
28:27I mean, she did offer, but I didn't accept. That's what this is really about.
28:33Amy wanted money, I wouldn't give it to her, and now she's out to get me.
28:36It's vindictiveness, pure and simple.
28:37Amy hasn't got the best track record when it comes to telling the truth.
28:40The girl's a compulsive liar. Surely we're not about to let her ruin a young promising teacher's career.
28:46This is a serious accusation.
28:47But I'm telling the truth.
28:49No one's saying you're not.
28:51Unfortunately, it is your word against Amy's. You know, I'm gonna need to investigate it.
28:56My hands are tied. I'm sorry, Helen. I'm gonna have to suspend you.
29:01Just until I can complete the investigation.
29:04Well, then surely we don't have to go as far as suspend anyone.
29:07Common sense can prevail, can't it?
29:14Fine.
29:17But you're not to teach any pupils until this is sorted out, am I clear?
29:22Mr Tide is so keen on keeping you in the school and you can stay in your classroom and catch
29:25up in some marking.
29:28Thank you very much.
29:37Max.
29:39There's something you need to know.
29:41What'd that be?
29:42Some people, and I'm naming no names.
29:45Okay, it's gonna be Budgen.
29:46Right, he seems determined to ruin your reputation.
29:48And I'm not talking about gossiping about you and Kim.
29:51This is a whole other matter.
29:53Well, I wouldn't pay much attention to what Grantly says. I certainly don't.
29:56And neither do I, but other people might.
29:59There's a suggestion that your interest in Helen is something other than professional.
30:04And that she only got her job here because you and her are special friends.
30:07It's ridiculous, I know.
30:10But you know, these things, they have a habit of going round.
30:13Some people, they're not as professional as you and I, Max.
30:16The last thing I want is your fine standing in the school to be compromised.
30:23Thank you, Ruby.
30:36I might have a problem with Helen Hopewell.
30:38Okay.
30:40She's incompetent.
30:42It wouldn't be best for everyone if she left Waterloo Road as soon as possible.
30:45She passed the inspection.
30:48People are talking, gossiping about why I appointed her.
30:53You appointed her because she was right for the job?
30:56Didn't you?
30:58This is awkward for me.
31:00I just put my neck on the line defending Helen to Rachel Mason,
31:03and now I find that my motive is to talk at the staff room.
31:06This is about protecting my professional reputation.
31:09Well, if it's all above board, I don't see how a bit of gossip can do you any harm.
31:15It's complicated.
31:17Complicated?
31:20How?
31:21There was an indiscretion.
31:23What kind of...?
31:26You didn't sleep with her.
31:29I know, it's unprofessional, but let's not pretend it never happens.
31:32You gave her the job because you were sleeping with her.
31:34Chris, I need your support on this.
31:37Let me get this right.
31:40You've been sleeping with this girl,
31:42and now she's become a liability.
31:44You want me to help you get rid of her.
31:46I'm doing what's right for this school.
31:48No.
31:49You're doing what's right for you.
31:52Was threatening Rachel Mason for the good of this school as well?
31:55And were you lying to Kim about your wife for the good of this school?
31:59You know, I agreed to keep the details of your marriage quiet
32:01so you could maintain your professionalism.
32:03not dupe a colleague into having an affair.
32:06That's none of your business.
32:07Believe me, I'd like to keep it that way.
32:09But I am the deputy head,
32:11and you're starting to run this school like your own personal empire.
32:14Well, if I am, it's because I care.
32:16And because this place is sorely lacking in leadership.
32:19Yeah.
32:20Yeah, I used to believe that.
32:22I used to think that your problem with Rachel was professional,
32:25but it's becoming more and more obvious that this is personal.
32:29You are the executive head.
32:30You have other schools to be looking after,
32:33yet here you are every single day.
32:36What are you still doing here, Max?
32:38Apart from dragging more members of staff into the mess that is your personal life.
32:44So really stand by and see Helen Hopewell wreck my career.
32:48Ruin everything I've worked for.
32:50Whatever's happening, whatever trouble Helen's causing for you,
32:54you've brought it on yourself.
32:56And I suppose I'll have to deal with it myself, won't I?
32:58I suppose you will.
33:09Oh, Max.
33:11The next time I hear about you threatening a teacher in their home,
33:15even if they don't report it to the board,
33:17I will.
33:29Where have you been all day?
33:31Around.
33:33Totally blanked me earlier.
33:37She moans being a right cow.
33:39You'd think she was too good for us all of a sudden.
33:41Who cares?
33:42You what?
33:43Amy.
33:45You're just a daft little kid playing games.
33:47Got Hopewell sent to the Heads Office earlier.
33:50I wasn't playing games then, was I?
33:52And what happened?
33:54Yeah, exactly. Nothing.
33:56You think what you do matters?
33:59Done.
34:00What I do matters?
34:01You're just a spoiled little brat who's never had to worry about anything her whole life
34:04and everyone knows it.
34:05You're wrong.
34:06People are scared of me.
34:08They are.
34:11Grow up, Amy.
34:16It's about time someone put her in her place.
34:19I know I've been horrible.
34:23If my mum was here, she would have had a few words to say.
34:27Just wanted to be proud of me.
34:29She will be.
34:34Needs to talk.
34:35Oh, I know.
34:37Look.
34:38Rachel's had it in from me from the start
34:40and she's going to use this Amy thing as an excuse to get rid of me
34:42so you've got to do something about it, Max.
34:44Put your foot down.
34:47I'm not going to do that, Alan.
34:50I don't care if you risk your own career,
34:52but you're not risking mine.
34:55Do you have any idea how embarrassing it would be for me
34:59if people find out you gave Amy Porter that money?
35:04You knew?
35:06Because I know you.
35:09You can't teach, Alan.
35:11You could never teach.
35:14But...
35:16But I thought you said I had promise.
35:18Promise?
35:19We both know why I gave you this job.
35:22And now I'm going to take it away from you.
35:25It's always been about you, hasn't it?
35:28Your reputation.
35:30You know, making sure that anything we did never impacted on your career.
35:36You think, after everything we have been through,
35:40you can just bully me into leaving?
35:42That'd be your word against mine, won't it?
35:44And so I think my word carries more weight than yours.
35:47Yeah, except it's not just my word, is it, Max?
35:51I've got the disc, remember?
35:57Yeah.
35:58Yeah, maybe I'll give it to Rachel Mason.
36:02Or maybe I should give it to Kim.
36:05You ain't there.
36:07I'm not going anywhere, Max.
36:09I'm going to do my job, and I'm going to be good at it.
36:13I'm going to prove you wrong, Max. I don't need you.
36:17Fine.
36:19Because we need someone to cover Miss Johnson's PSHE class, Year 10.
36:24You'll find a few familiar faces in that class.
36:29You can handle that, can't you?
36:31Eh?
36:39Oh, look who it is.
36:40Little Miss Moneybags.
36:42Lend us some cash, Amy.
36:43No, wait a minute.
36:44Oh, that's right.
36:46She hasn't got any.
36:50Where's Miss Johnson?
36:52I'll be taking Miss Johnson's class today.
36:55Nice one.
36:56She's dead mildly.
36:57You're a well better teacher, Miss.
36:59Wow.
36:59Come on out of her backside, will ya?
37:01Can't.
37:02Miss Hopewell's one of my favourite teachers.
37:04Just leave it, yeah.
37:05We've got a right one, didn't we, Miss?
37:12Oh, what's this?
37:13The kids that have the X Factor.
37:14No, it is a list of all the teachers who are going to be taking part in the school show.
37:19Now, I've paired Waterloo Road with John Foster's, cos I mean, it's all about cohesion, isn't it?
37:24Bagsie not being the back of the horse.
37:26Er, no.
37:27No way.
37:27I can't.
37:28Of course you can.
37:30Believe me, you couldn't be any worse than the kids.
37:32So, er, any volunteers to read?
37:42Sam, how about you?
37:44Well, she's the one with the hand up, not me.
37:47Fine.
37:47Amy, take it away, please.
37:53Once, there was this teacher called Helen Hopewell.
37:57And she was proper rubbish, and she knew it.
38:00And on the day of her inspection, she woke up totally bricking it.
38:03Don't, Amy.
38:04Cos you know you can't even control a bunch of kids on your own.
38:06OK, that is enough.
38:09What the hell was that?
38:11You're trying to look like you're in control?
38:12OK, stop this, Amy.
38:14Stop it right now.
38:15Why did you become a teacher, Miss Hopewell?
38:17Amy, this is boring.
38:19Sit down.
38:20You know, I really don't think that is any of your business.
38:23Well, why did you become a teacher, Miss?
38:29Well, erm...
38:30I...
38:30Speak up! We can't hear you!
38:36I became a teacher because I liked school.
38:38You liked school?
38:39But what's the like about it?
38:42I like my teachers.
38:43Saddo!
38:43What's the matter with you Hopewell?
38:45I thought it might be nice to be like him one day.
38:48Do you know how pathetic you sound?
38:50I like school. I thought it'd be nice.
38:52You're like a little kid.
38:53How do you think anyone could ever respect you?
38:58It was never going to work, Helen.
39:00You should have realised that from the start.
39:02You see, you've got to be an adult to be a teacher.
39:04And you, Helen,
39:06are just a sad little no-one without a clue.
39:08OK, stop it.
39:09I'm going to cry if you don't shut up.
39:11Do you want to cry, Miss?
39:12Do you want to go home to your mum,
39:14tell her what a bad day at school you've had?
39:16Amy, this isn't funny anymore.
39:18Just look at her.
39:27Come on, Miss.
39:28I was only joking, yeah?
39:30Miss?
39:32Miss?
39:33It's all right.
39:34Can you just get off me?
39:37Are you happy now?
39:59Come in.
40:00Sir, you're going to have to come.
40:01It's Miss Oakwell.
40:03All right, you lot.
40:04Keep working.
40:15Helen.
40:18Back to your seats.
40:19Now, please.
40:21Helen.
40:22That's it, I've had it.
40:23Helen.
40:24No, I'm leaving.
40:25I've had a dead.
40:26That's an understatement.
40:28Helen.
40:28I'm leaving.
40:29What the hell's going on?
40:31Mike's asked me to cover Miss Johnson's class,
40:33and I can't do it.
40:33Is Amy Porter in that class?
40:35I'm not cut out for this.
40:36Whatever happened today,
40:37you are not being driven out by a pupil.
40:38Will you listen to me?
40:39I did it, all right?
40:41I gave Amy that money,
40:42and I lied about it,
40:44and I'm sorry.
40:45I really am sorry.
40:47I just wanted to do well,
40:49and it's not Amy's fault,
40:50it's mine,
40:51and it's my decision to leave.
40:55Helen.
40:56Rachel.
40:57So you've got to let her go?
40:58Oh, no, Tom, we can't.
40:59Yeah, what are you going to do?
41:00Give her another last chance?
41:05Amy.
41:07Come here.
41:14Amy, I know the truth about that money.
41:17Have you any idea the kind of trouble you're in?
41:20You're very lucky you've not been excluded.
41:22I'm still considering whether to suspend you.
41:24You should be ashamed of yourself
41:25the way you treated Miss Hope well today.
41:27It was vicious.
41:27How was I supposed to know
41:28she was going to kick off like that?
41:29You knew exactly what you were doing.
41:31She's supposed to be a teacher.
41:32If she'd have just said no
41:33when I asked her for the money in the first place...
41:34That does not excuse your behaviour.
41:38If I ever, ever see you
41:40going after someone vulnerable again,
41:44believe me, you're going to regret it.
41:46Is Miss Hope well going to be all right?
41:48If she's not,
41:49we both know who's responsible, don't we?
42:06Oh dear.
42:10You're not still in a huff, are you?
42:12I've got a big mouth, it's hardly news, is it?
42:15It's not the best apology I've ever heard, Steph.
42:18Well, let me make it up to you.
42:20You and I will go out on the town tonight, just us girls,
42:23and by the time I'm through with you,
42:25Max Tyler will be now to put a notch on your bedpost.
42:29I found out that he's still married.
42:34And I was mad.
42:35I still am.
42:38But then I'm sat here,
42:40and all I can do is think about him.
42:45I love him.
42:49And now he said that he's getting a divorce.
42:52And is he serious?
42:54Yeah, he seems to be.
42:57Well, if you love him and that's what you want, then...
43:01Just be careful, Kim.
43:03It's never straightforward with the married ones,
43:06even if they do leave their wives.
43:09And make sure that you do everything on your terms.
43:14Thank you, Steph.
43:59You know what this is?
44:00Should I?
44:02It's a parting gift from Helen.
44:05Parting? You mean she's decided to leave?
44:07Please tell me that you didn't give her the job
44:10just because you were sleeping with her.
44:16It was a one-off a long time ago.
44:18A mistake.
44:20Before we even came to this school.
44:22Didn't really care about her future, did you?
44:25It was all about keeping your reputation intact.
44:28You must be thrilled.
44:30You've been waiting for an opportunity like this to bring me down.
44:33All I have ever wanted is for us to work together.
44:37You're the one who made it very clear that that's impossible.
44:40And what exactly do you intend to do with this information?
44:43Are you worried that people are going to find out how unprofessional and revolting you are?
44:50I wouldn't lower myself.
44:53Are you going to talk in?
44:57Whatever I want to do with this information, it will be my choice.
45:10Rachel.
45:12Please.
45:13I am head of this school.
45:17You'll do well to remember that.
45:41You alright?
45:42Hey.
45:43Right.
45:44Shall we turn you into a footballing legend?
45:45Your dad will teach you a thing or two.
45:47Always going on about his football days, aren't you love?
45:50You up for it?
45:51I'm up for it if you are.
45:53Does the sandwich go do oranges at half time as well?
45:55You think I have nothing else to do?
45:57No.
45:58Go on.
45:58I'll see you later.
45:59You sure?
46:00Yeah.
46:01Have some boy time.
46:02Come on.
46:03I'll race you.
46:05Come on.
46:13Still up for shopping tonight?
46:14Why would I want to spend my time hanging around with you?
46:18Because we're mates.
46:20Aren't we?
46:22No.
46:24And do you know what?
46:27I'd rather be somewhere else.
46:41Hey.
46:42Hey.
46:43I bought us some dinner.
46:45Oh, a nice one.
46:45Actually, it's just rubbish from the vending machine, but best I could do it, Sean.
46:49I don't know.
46:52So, do you want to go for that pizza next week?
46:54Amy's not going to be there, is she?
46:57No, and it's just you and me.
47:00Gonna commit to a kopi bon in his meal.
47:02Money.
47:04Take it away.
47:12We are doing crazyŃŃŠ½Š¾ and probably a bad kiss anymore.
47:20Anyways, we have to walk if I could ping out out and knock it off.
47:21Let's go now and get it.
47:21Take it away.
47:24No problem, Daddy.
47:26The floor is just this guy who hockey papers he loved by watching.
47:27There is a littlener here.
47:27There was a lot of air that was very cool.
47:30Hey, we need to talk.
47:34Have you seen Rachel?
47:36No, it's not about Rachel.
47:39It's about us.
47:44I want to give it another go.
