00:27This is a production of WGBH.
00:31French, Steph.
00:32I owe you.
00:33You're welcome.
00:35Eh?
00:36Two weeks off work, doing jigsaws, watching kids' TV all day, what a hardship.
00:41Well, you certainly look like you've enjoyed yourself, don't you? Eh?
00:44As long as you think it's helped.
00:45Well, I've not been told in over a week. That's got to be a result, hasn't it?
00:48Yeah.
00:54Hello, Steph.
00:56How's the shingles?
00:57Oh, you could snuggle up to me right now because I'm not contagious anymore.
01:02Really? Last I heard shingles weren't contagious.
01:05Just testing.
01:07Well, you look remarkably well for someone with such an unpleasant illness.
01:10Oh, yes. I've got the, er, constitution of an ox.
01:14Morning.
01:15Hi.
01:16Well, after two weeks off, I'm raring to go.
01:28These pictures are gorgeous. You're so famous.
01:31It's the Rochdale Observer, not Vogue.
01:33It's a good start, though, isn't it?
01:35I can't believe a photographer just stopped you in the street.
01:39Not a big deal.
01:40It is.
01:41Why does stuff like this never happen to me?
01:43I'd love to be a model.
01:44But you miss your crisp too much.
01:46You know how many calories are in them.
01:48I don't know how you do it, Tash.
01:50They're no fat. They're practically health food, aren't they, Tash?
01:53Totally. You want them?
01:58Well, I'm off to registration.
02:00You come in or you're stopping to try on another top coat.
02:02What? Have I got too much on?
02:04Well, if Campbell's seizures, she'll be after you with a wet wipe.
02:07In which case you might want to get her to wipe that blood gelipi off your chin.
02:11Well, show me.
02:13Catch your knee docks.
02:23Hey, Grantley.
02:24What are you doing back?
02:25If I'd have had heart attack, you wouldn't see me until after Christmas.
02:28Takes more than a myocardial infarction to knock me out of the saddle.
02:33You want to take it easy, you know, Grantley.
02:35From what I heard, you were knocking on Heaven's door.
02:38Yeah, well, we all know whose fault that is, don't we?
02:41Do we?
02:43Yeah, Jasmine's getting you stressed out with this flaming dossier of hers.
02:46Listen, I'm sorry you keeled over, mate, but it was good to see little Miss Bossy with her tail between
02:50her legs for once.
02:53And what about you, Steph? Cheap flight, was it?
02:55Shingles, actually.
02:56Oh, good one. I'll use that.
02:59Grantley!
03:00How are you feeling?
03:01Well, you know me, I don't like to let the side down.
03:06Well, Jasmine has volunteered to continue as acting head of department just until you're up to speed.
03:11I'm really sorry, Grantley.
03:13I didn't mean to stress you out to that, so if there's anything I can do, you know, while you're
03:16in recovery.
03:17Thank you, Miss Koreshi, I'll remember that.
03:20Why don't you start by making him a cuppa?
03:22Hmm, that would be most acceptable, thank you.
03:25And a couple of Gary Baldies if they're going.
03:28Sure, coming right up.
03:29And as you're putting the kettle on, I'll have one and all.
03:32Yeah.
03:33Good.
03:34So now you're all playing nicely together again.
03:36I'm sure Jasmine can count on your support for the next few days, can't she?
03:39Yeah, I, for one, will be right behind her.
03:42With a pickaxe.
03:48Molly.
03:48Hi.
03:49Have you had a chance to think about my proposition?
03:52Yes.
03:53Yeah, I'm up for it.
03:54Yeah? Yeah.
03:55Oh, brilliant.
03:55Okay, so with you doing the music, I just need someone to write the lyrics.
04:00Well, you can do that.
04:01Yeah?
04:02Me.
04:03Yeah, why not?
04:04You're good at English.
04:04Yeah, and crap at music.
04:05Yeah, I'll do all that stuff.
04:06You just worry about the words.
04:08Come on, it's for the final.
04:09We can work on it together.
04:10Well, I suppose.
04:13Fantastic.
04:13I've sorted them.
04:15Okay, choir rehearsal, quarter past three.
04:16Spread the word.
04:17I can't believe you did that.
04:18Oh, you'll be great.
04:20Okay, we get to spend some time together as well.
04:22What, an hour after school?
04:23Big deal.
04:24Then we could always go out after.
04:27Oh, luck I want to give your dad even more ammo against me.
04:29I don't care.
04:30Well, I do, okay?
04:31I'm working.
04:32But the more hours I do, the quicker I'll pay your dad back, the quicker me and you are
04:36back together.
04:37Right?
04:38See you in a bit.
04:43Oh, that's it.
04:45Sorry, I didn't see you.
04:46You're right.
04:47It was an accident.
04:48Any excuse for growth?
04:50No, I'll help you.
04:51No, what?
04:52So you can stick more knickers in my bag?
04:55No, I'm sorry about that.
04:56I didn't.
04:57Keep away from me, freakoid.
04:59Hey, what's going on?
05:01I was just trying to...
05:02He's stalking me, miss.
05:03Every time I turn around, he's there.
05:05No, I'm not.
05:05You are.
05:06It's totally purring me out.
05:08It's like he's obsessed with me.
05:10If there is even one sliver of truth in this, you better put the brakes on, mate.
05:18Just leave me alone, OK?
05:21I think you got that the wrong way round.
05:28Oi!
05:30Hey.
05:30Do you know the photographer for these papers?
05:32Could you give him my number?
05:34Like, if he's looking for anyone else for any more pictures?
05:37Sure, I will do.
05:38Can you two talk about something else apart from modelling for five minutes?
05:41It's getting really tedious.
05:44Tragic old lot.
05:46Anyone would think you were jealous?
05:48Are you sure you don't want me to give him your number?
05:50As if.
05:51Why not?
05:52I've got the figure for it.
05:53Tell her parents that.
05:55Dead stripped.
05:56Won't even let her go into town on a Saturday.
05:59Never mind a fashion shoot.
06:00Shut up!
06:01Is this the truth?
06:02That's all that's stopping her.
06:04Otherwise, you'd bite your hand off.
06:05Actually, I wouldn't.
06:07I think modelling's dead shallow.
06:09Right, settle down, you lots!
06:16Welcome back, Miss.
06:17Aww.
06:18Merci, Carla.
06:20Thank you, Danielle.
06:21You may collect this after class.
06:22Girls, come with me and hand these things out, please.
06:26What's she doing back?
06:29I don't know, but she is so totally mech.
06:33Miss, what Flick was saying about me is not true.
06:36Yeah, just stay clear, eh?
06:39Right, I want you to do this test that's on the whiteboard, OK?
06:49Toot sweet, Tasha.
07:04Eh, just hand the rest of those out on the one you'd please.
07:13Rose?
07:14Sorry to interrupt.
07:15Sorry to interrupt.
07:15I was just wondering, you know, if you've had time yet to market my exam.
07:20Only if you have, right?
07:21And I failed, and you're worried about telling me don't, because I know it was a hard paper.
07:25I probably screwed the whole thing up anyway, so I don't want you worrying like, you know,
07:28you haven't done enough or something, because you couldn't have done more for me.
07:31Eh, can I get a word in?
07:32Sorry.
07:32I'm not marking your paper, Grantley is.
07:34Always.
07:36I'm sorry to have bothered you.
07:38Er, no, wait, erm, well, Grantley's back today, so, erm, well, I'll chase it up for you.
07:45I just want to get the results over with, you know?
07:49Cheers.
07:52Don't hold your breath.
08:02Hey.
08:03What?
08:05Get your goggles off her book and back onto yours.
08:08I wasn't copying.
08:09What would I want to do that for?
08:11Don't suppose everyone can have the brains and the beauty, eh?
08:14I want, alright.
08:16What would I need to copy her for?
08:18Do you know, I think that somebody has been concentrating a little bit hard on getting their
08:22pretty face in the papers instead of on their vocab homework?
08:29It was a joke.
08:32Crikey, what have you lot been doing while I've been away?
08:35Having a sense of humour bypass?
08:36No.
08:37Learning French.
08:38That'll be the day.
08:40Le jour.
08:42No, actually, ce sera le jour.
08:47Très impressive, Monsieur Bolton.
08:49Vous êtes un cool intelligent?
08:53Un cool intelligent.
08:56Pardon?
08:57It's my ass.
08:59It's masculine.
09:02Really?
09:03Well, then why don't you get yours over there and see if you can cope without copying off your
09:08little friend, eh?
09:10No.
09:19Excuse me.
09:20Look, why can't we just have the supply teacher back?
09:22At least she knew what she was doing.
09:24I mean, did you actually do French at uni, miss?
09:28Hey, she ate a French stick once.
09:32Right, shut up, all of you, and get on with your test.
09:34You move it!
09:36No!
09:37If you want to test us, then teach us something first.
09:41Teach us!
09:42Teach us!
09:43Teach us!
10:09now. The rest of you get into pairs and practice your oral. Hey, come back here. I'm going
10:25to the cooler. You will do as I say. You will apologise to me, you will change your attitude
10:30and you'll get yourself back in there. I'm not doing that test. Right then, you can do
10:34it in Miss Mason's office and see what she has to say. She'll say the same thing. Everyone
10:39knows that you're a lazy cow.
10:58You all right, love? What are you after?
11:06Um... Hey, working in the fish factory. Is that not dead rank?
11:09I don't know. He's the one doing it.
11:12Cats and fish, mate. Them starey eyes. Hey, you better not let them go near you. Maybe
11:18you'll be coming out with fins. You've got to apply to that place called Check Them The
11:24Well Fit. Not that you're looking. It's the quality of course that counts, Chloe. I've
11:32got to go to the creche.
11:37What's all that about? You've been talking to her?
11:41Yeah, because I want the whole school to know.
11:43Well, they're going to find out sooner or later unless we sort it. I know you're freaking
11:48out about the baby, yeah? And I don't blame you, so am I.
11:52Really?
11:53Yeah, I mean, us with the baby, it's huge, isn't it?
11:56Yeah, that's what I've been trying to tell you.
11:58We don't even have our own place yet.
12:00Exactly.
12:01Well, all that's going to change.
12:03Is it?
12:03Yeah. I've been working things out, right? And I've called this Housing Association.
12:10And they're giving priority to young families. Now they've got some nice little places to
12:15hold them to bed with a yard out the back, with an option to buy when we've got on our
12:19feet. And by that time, I'll have my own business by then.
12:22Doing what?
12:23It doesn't matter, man. But whatever it is, I'll be raking it in. And the cards, I'll be
12:28able to pay off no bother. We are going to be minted, babes.
12:34Come on, man. Don't look at me like that. Yeah? I'm trying to fix this.
12:38Donny, I love you. But you've got to come into the real world. Me and you can't bring
12:44up a kid. I'm sorry.
12:52Hi, Steph.
12:55Can I have a word?
12:57Is it about your doctor's note?
12:58Oh, no. Nothing as trivial as that, I'm afraid, Miss Mason.
13:01Oh. Not even ten o'clock yet.
13:03Well, you know me. Not one to let the grass grow under me feet.
13:07Tasha Lefton has been caught cheating.
13:10Tasha? She's one of our Grade A students, isn't she?
13:12Well, she's a mouthy little madam. And between you and I, I think she's got a bit above a station.
13:16Alicia and Danielle aren't far behind.
13:18OK, let's stick to the facts, shall we?
13:19Fine. I caught her cheating. She called me a cow.
13:23And what happened in between?
13:24Quite a lot of cheek, actually.
13:27From Tasha?
13:28Listen, I've not known anything like it.
13:30She goaded me. She undermined my authority. She damn near incited a riot.
13:33What? You've lost control of your class?
13:35The only person out of control is Tasha Lefton.
13:38And I will not be spoken to like that by a student.
13:40So what are you going to do about it?
13:43You know, I'm not sure.
13:46Steph, has it occurred to you that the problem might not be Tasha's, but yours?
13:50Me?
13:50How do you mean?
13:51Well, you've been gone for two weeks, haven't you?
13:53For reasons as yet unconfirmed.
13:55I, and in that whole time, I have had nothing but good reports from your replacement regarding your discipline and
14:01the capabilities of your class.
14:03You're back for two minutes, and you're telling me that one of our brightest pupils has an attitude problem, and
14:08you've lost control of your class.
14:10I didn't say that.
14:11You didn't need to.
14:14Steph, I'm sorry, but...
14:16You know, we can't go on like this.
14:19I need teachers who maintain discipline and get results.
14:23Right now, I'm not sure that you're capable of either.
14:26So, what are you saying?
14:28You getting rid of me?
14:29I know that I'm watching you.
14:34Is there anything else?
14:37Yes, there is actually.
14:39Your Philip has been pestering Flip Mellor.
14:42Well, if that's the case, then it'll be dealt with.
14:45Yeah, yeah, of course it will.
14:47I hope you're not implying that because he's my nephew, I won't handle it fairly.
14:50Oh, no.
14:51God forbid that you would let your personal life interfere with your professional.
14:54Good.
15:01Mr Lawson's out here.
15:02Shall I send him in, or will it keep till tonight?
15:08She just came right out and said it, and if Steph will say that sort of thing to me,
15:12I'd dread to think what they're going to be saying in the staff room.
15:14Do you think they're talking about it?
15:15Of course they are.
15:16Doesn't that bother you?
15:18Well, should it?
15:19Well, yes, it should, if it means our professionalism's being called into question.
15:22It's just one more weakness for people like Steph Haydock to take advantage of.
15:27Well, at the top, isn't it?
15:28Don't you think?
15:29Well, everyone's entitled to a private life.
15:32And it's not like staff room romances are unheard of.
15:35Just ask Tom Clarkson.
15:37Tom Clarkson isn't the head of this school, Eddie,
15:40and I don't think he's ever dated his deputy, has he?
15:41Oh, dating. That's what we're doing, isn't it?
15:45Yeah.
15:46We're English or American.
15:48What?
15:49Rachel, your professionalism isn't in question here.
15:53Look, if we're doing the American casual, see as many people as you like type dating,
15:57then I can see the benefit of keeping it quiet.
15:59but if we're being English exclusive, then you shouldn't give a damn who knows.
16:10Hello.
16:12Hi.
16:16American it, isn't it?
16:17Oh, Eddie.
16:18It's all right, really.
16:20No, I didn't.
16:21It's fine.
16:27I'm on page 111.
16:29Just...
16:30Oh, Miss Qureshi.
16:32Hi.
16:33I'm taking Grant in this classroom just now, you know, just to ease him back in.
16:37Okay, that's fine.
16:38Just don't take the hair shirt thing too far.
16:40Okay.
16:41Um, need a word with Philip Ryan.
16:43Sure.
16:45Philip.
16:46Miss Mason, I'd like a word with you.
16:51Sorry, Philip.
16:52It's, um, I just...
16:53I need to ask you something.
16:55Um, Phyllisa Chamilla, are you still, um, pestering her?
16:59Who said that?
17:01That doesn't matter.
17:01Just tell me, yes or no.
17:03If that's about what happened this morning, okay, I didn't do anything.
17:05Well, that's not what Miss Haydock said.
17:07And you believe her over me?
17:09Well, if I get a complaint, I have to follow it up.
17:11It's not just me, you know.
17:13Flick was all over me at that pie.
17:15You tried to get me to sleep with her.
17:19I mean, ask anyone, you know, she was all over me.
17:21Doesn't give you permission to harass her, does it?
17:24Yeah, I get the message.
17:26Okay, well, just, you know, steer clear of her for a while, that's all.
17:29Just...
17:29By not coming to school?
17:30No.
17:31Of course not.
17:33It won't do any harm to sort of cast your net a bit wider in terms of friends.
17:37Well, I don't know, how about trying out some of the clubs and the activities?
17:40Have a look on the notice board, see what there is.
17:42Hmm?
17:44And if you need anyone to talk to...
17:45Are we done?
17:47Are we...
17:48Well, we'll speak later then.
17:52Everything all right?
17:53Yes.
17:54Look, Tasha left.
17:55Have you had any trouble with her recently?
17:57No, none at all.
17:58In fact, she's been great, but she's not here to stay.
18:00No, she's in the cooler.
18:02Tasha?
18:03Well, why?
18:04That's what I wouldn't know.
18:08I've read all the stuff, I know what I'm doing.
18:11Okay.
18:13This way, the baby really does get a good chance.
18:15It could go to someone that earns a decent living.
18:18You know, it wouldn't want for anything.
18:20It is a possibility, but you don't know for definite.
18:25Yeah, you do.
18:26It says in the leaflet.
18:28What they do is, they shortlist all these couples, and then I get to choose which one gets
18:33the baby.
18:33No.
18:35Chloe, it says that you get some input and they'll take note of your preferences.
18:39That...
18:40That doesn't mean that you get to choose.
18:43It's more if you want your child to be brought up with a particular religion or ethnic background,
18:47that kind of thing.
18:48You can't just choose whether they're rich or poor or how big the house is.
18:54Why don't you come up to my office later on and we can talk about all this properly?
18:58No, it doesn't matter.
18:59I shouldn't have even said anything.
19:01I'll just do it on my own.
19:02Chloe, hang on.
19:04I'm not judging you here.
19:07I'm just saying that it's a huge decision.
19:11Have you talked to Tom about it?
19:15You've not even told him, have you?
19:17Because I need to get it all sorted first.
19:20You're not going to say anything, are you?
19:22No, of course I'm not.
19:23Look, Chloe, I'm not saying that adoption isn't a good idea under the right circumstances,
19:29but you have got to be sure you're making the right choice for you.
19:32Yeah, well, I'm not going to change my mind.
19:34Everything will change, once the baby comes out.
19:38Well, I won't get to see it though, will I?
19:41Because I'll just take it away as soon as it's born.
19:44No, everyone wants to make sure that you are making the right decision
19:48so that they don't just get the baby and hand it straight over to the new parents.
19:54They give you a cooling off period.
19:57Chloe, listen, you know what?
19:58The leaflets are all well and good, but you need to sit down and talk to someone about this.
20:02Face to face, you and Dante together.
20:08Dante does agree with this, doesn't he?
20:10He's caught up in the idea of it all.
20:13If he hasn't thought about it like I have,
20:16miss, I've thought of nothing else.
20:18You need to talk to social services.
20:20I'm not going to change my mind.
20:22Fine, but you need to know the facts.
20:34Right, time's up. We can go.
20:40Erm, I'm waiting.
20:43Sorry.
20:44A little elf somewhere might have heard that.
21:06Here we go.
21:11What a civic event!
21:13Yeah, I'll do it!
21:13All right, go.
21:14Alright.immung
21:14else can play the music. Well,
21:14all right. We're
21:15not, we're not even here. But we're
21:15not even here. I've made
21:16it as a private keynote for you. We're not
21:16even here. We're not
21:16even here. We're not
21:16here. We're not
21:16Oh, my God.
21:17We're not here.
21:18Count it. It's all there.
21:20How did you get this?
21:21I, um, sold something.
21:24What have you got that's worth this much?
21:28Your mum's ring?
21:30We can be together now.
21:35Molly?
21:38I can't believe you were copying off me.
21:41She wasn't. She already told you that.
21:43I was just seeing things.
21:44Look, it's all right. I don't mind if you were.
21:46Now everyone can have beauty and brains.
21:48What is your problem?
21:50How's it going?
21:51You keep picking on Tash.
21:52I'm not. I'm not sucking up to her either.
21:55It's like you're fancier or something.
21:56Do you know what? You're pathetic.
21:58A pot kettle black.
22:00You all right?
22:02I don't feel too good.
22:03I'm going to go to the shop and get something to eat.
22:06I'll come with you.
22:07Oh, don't mind me. I already had other plans.
22:12Tasha!
22:14Pride comes before a fall.
22:18Are you all right? Can you move everything?
22:20Yeah, fine. Don't make a fuss.
22:23Nose in the air, was it, Tasha?
22:24Not looking where you were going?
22:26I was looking.
22:28Not from where I was standing.
22:32She shoved me.
22:33What?
22:34In fact, you did it all.
22:35No, I didn't.
22:36Danielle was nowhere near you.
22:38Yes, she was.
22:39She was right behind.
22:40And she's been getting at Tash all day.
22:42Aren't you?
22:45Yeah.
22:45Yes, she has.
22:47I don't believe this.
22:48This is so not true.
22:50Liar.
22:51Do you want to say that again?
22:52Right, Danielle.
22:53Cooler.
22:53But, miss, I never touched her.
22:55I know.
22:55Just stay there till the situation comes down.
22:57Go on.
22:59Come on.
23:00I'll take you to the nurse.
23:01You need to get checked out.
23:02No, I'm fine.
23:03Just go on.
23:09Hey, Grantley.
23:10When you get a minute, can you mark the adult learner's marks?
23:13Rose Kelly's been nagging me about it.
23:15Tell us you'll have it back by the end of the day.
23:18Great.
23:20Ah, Miss Qureshi.
23:21Busy morning?
23:22Yes.
23:23Actually, a year, eights and nines done for you.
23:26You're a wonder.
23:28Well, I've got some prep to do, so...
23:30Oh.
23:31Is there a problem?
23:32No, no.
23:34It's just these adult learner mocks.
23:39Well, I was wondering if you wouldn't mind.
23:42Er, yeah.
23:44Why not?
23:45I'll get on to them at lunch.
23:47You are a treasure.
23:49I need them back by three.
23:52Head of department's work is never done.
23:59Tom, you teach English.
24:01What do you make of that?
24:03Well, er...
24:05I don't know.
24:06What is it?
24:08Punishment exercise from Rochdale's next top model, otherwise known as Tasha Lefton.
24:13Ah, well, it's French.
24:14It's not my bag.
24:15It's not the French I'm wondering about.
24:16It's the handwriting.
24:17Yeah, well, it's...
24:18It's a bit free-form.
24:19Mm-hm.
24:23Um, Tom, can I have a quick word?
24:25Dyslexia.
24:26Oh, cross-eyed, one or the other.
24:28That's what I thought.
24:31Hey, look what the cat dragged in.
24:32Oh, missed you too.
24:34Same with some new fella keeping you busy, was he?
24:37It was shingles, actually.
24:39Really?
24:40Oh, no, I'm so sorry.
24:42Come on, who was it?
24:43Where were you?
24:43If I tell you, I'll have to kill you.
24:46We should stay there, though.
24:47Mason's had a right go at me.
24:49I don't know what's wrong with that woman, but she's really got it in for me.
24:52In for me, in for me.
24:53Oh, not funny, Matt.
24:55How would you like it if your professionalism was questioned before you'd had your morning brew?
24:59Look, she'll get over it.
25:00She always does.
25:01Just keep your head under the parapet for a bit and she'll forget all about you for another six months.
25:05Oh, I wish.
25:07Coffee?
25:07Yeah, it's still not funny.
25:08Who are you trying to be?
25:11Are you kidding me?
25:12Do you see me laughing?
25:13She wants me to go for a meeting and everything.
25:16When was she going to tell me about this?
25:17When she came back from the hospital, empty-handed?
25:19She was just scared about what you'd say.
25:21Yeah, well, so she should be.
25:22And what are you doing about it?
25:23Have you talked to her?
25:24I've tried.
25:25Yeah, well, try harder.
25:26Make her see how stupid she's being.
25:28Oi, I've been doing nothing else.
25:30But she won't listen.
25:31She's made up her mind, Tom.
25:32She ain't budging.
25:33I don't know what else to try.
25:36All I'm trying to do here is the right thing.
25:38I want to look after her, and I want to look after the baby.
25:41But how the hell can I when she won't let me?
25:44I don't believe this.
25:46So now what?
25:49Maybe you could try and talk some sense into her.
25:51Ah, flaming right, I will.
25:52Where is she?
25:52But don't yell at her.
25:54It won't help.
25:55She'll only shut down again.
25:57Just try and make her see what she's doing, but keep you cool, yeah?
26:00Well, that's easier said than done when she's going to give away her baby.
26:04Yeah, well, it is my baby as well, remember?
26:07Yeah, well, sorry, mate.
26:09I didn't mean...
26:10Look, I'll speak to her.
26:12I'll sort it, right?
26:32I don't know what she was thinking.
26:42I've got the money you gave her for it.
26:44It's all there.
26:45Um, sorry, but that's cost.
26:47What do you mean?
26:49Well, buyers pay retail.
26:51Okay, er, how much more do you want for it?
26:55On that ring, it'd be another 250.
26:58I haven't got that.
26:59It wouldn't really matter if you did.
27:00I sold this ring half an hour ago.
27:02I sold this ring half an hour ago.
27:54You can't see, can you?
27:57you couldn't do that test this morning because you couldn't read the board

29:39Ma'am, it's all right.
29:46Sir?
29:48Hey, is everything all right?
29:50I'm just after Grantley.
29:51Oh, he's up in the staff room. Do you want to go out? I'm just fetching him some lunch.
29:55No, I won't be a bother, but I wonder if you could give him these.
29:58He's a devil for forgetting to take him.
30:00Yeah, sure.
30:02He's looking good though, isn't he? All things considered.
30:05Yeah, gallstones can be nasty.
30:07Ghost hunts? He's been walking around with them for years, apparently.
30:10No trouble at all till that attack came on.
30:12He's made the most of it since though.
30:14Had me running around after him all week at home.
30:15Like he was on his deathbed.
30:17I thought he was.
30:18We all did, till they did that scan.
30:20They thought it was a heart attack.
30:22Imagine.
30:26Molly, where have you been?
30:28In the jewellers.
30:30Why?
30:31Had to get your mum's ring back, why do you think?
30:32What did she do that for?
30:34Because she left it, yeah.
30:35I know the story, thanks.
30:37Alright, so I know it's been sold then.
30:40Well, I knew it would be.
30:43I just want us to be together.
30:45And hey, there's only 500 left to find now.
30:47Do you know what you've done?
30:50You've made me more in debt to your family than before.
30:52Okay, the money, I could have paid that back.
30:54I'd have done that eventually.
30:55But this ring.
30:57How am I going to pay that back?
31:01Chloe.
31:07A word.
31:09See ya.
31:16What's up?
31:17Don't come away with me, young lady.
31:19I know.
31:21Don't be mad.
31:22Well, what do you expect?
31:23When you're going to give your baby away?
31:24No, you don't understand.
31:25You're too right, I don't.
31:26I don't even know how you can think about it.
31:28Because I don't have a choice.
31:30No, Chloe.
31:31Someone who has nothing and nobody.
31:32They might not have a choice, but that's not you.
31:35I've told you from the start that I'd help you out.
31:37Keep a roof over your head.
31:39Help you out with money.
31:39I mean, what more do you want?
31:40To want my baby!
31:48But I don't.
31:50I never have.
31:52And if that makes me a bad person, then I'm sorry, but that's what I am.
31:57From the minute I found out I was pregnant, I've known I'm not ready to be a mum.
32:02Not yet.
32:04If you'd felt like that, you'd have done something about it before now.
32:07I tried, but it was too late.
32:16Dante reckons he's ready to be a dad.
32:19Well, look at him.
32:20He's nowhere near.
32:22Just like I'm nowhere near ready to be a mum.
32:26It'll just be something else that we screw up.
32:29But you can't screw up a kid's life, Tom.
32:31It's too important.
32:32Oh, no.
32:36I have to do what's best for everybody.
32:39And that's what I'm doing.
32:49Don't cry.
32:53Do you hate me for it?
32:59Of course I don't.
33:04But I hate what you're doing.
33:14We'll, uh...
33:15We'll sort it.
33:17Eh?
33:41I'm sorry, Grantley. There wasn't much choice today.
33:44Eh?
33:45I'm sorry, Grantley. There wasn't much choice today.
33:46And I wanted to get you something healthy.
33:48The last thing I want to do is clog up your arteries.
33:50Oh, don't worry.
33:51Oh, I...
33:52I'll probably manage a couple of mouthfuls.
33:56All right.
33:58So, tell me about this heart attack of yours.
34:01Hmm?
34:02Did you see the light at the end of the tunnel?
34:04Eh?
34:05Well, that's what happens, doesn't it?
34:07When you've had a near-death experience.
34:09Well, I don't believe in all that stuff.
34:11But I don't mind telling you that, uh...
34:14It was touch and go for a while.
34:16Really?
34:17Oh, yes. I thought my days were numbered.
34:19Hmm. Yeah, they are.
34:23Gallstones.
34:24No way.
34:26I can explain.
34:28I've been feeling guilty for a whole week.
34:30I'm running around after you all morning for gallstones.
34:33Eh, it's no laughing matter.
34:35The pain is worse than childbirth.
34:36And you'd know that, would you, Grantley, after all the kids you've given birth to?
34:40You know what?
34:41You can keep your flaming job.
34:42And when you screw up, which you will,
34:45I'll be the first to stick the knife in.
34:50Back in a moat.
34:51Back in a moat.
35:03Hi! Er...
35:05I don't think there's any need to make too much of this, is there?
35:12It's just a bit of fun.
35:13I don't think Miss Mason's going to be amused when she finds out that you've been pulling the wool over
35:17our eyes.
35:18It wasn't my fault that people jumped to conclusions.
35:22Hey, I was in intensive care.
35:25Aye, and another stunt like that and you'll be right back there.
35:28Staff repairs our sheets, Friday.
35:31Coursework submission forms, tomorrow.
35:34Adult learners, mock exams, close of play.
35:37Normally I wouldn't ask, Grantley, but I think I need to put my feet up.
35:56Ah, Tom.
35:59Ah, Tom, these adult learner mocks...
36:03Are you marked them?
36:04Well, I'm not going to get round to it for a bit.
36:06Just give me roses, will you? I'll do it.
36:09Ooh, soon as so.
36:15Ah, Miss Mason.
36:17Yeah.
36:19Miss Jasmine hasn't been to see you, has she?
36:22No.
36:23Oh, good.
36:24It is just that there's some ludicrous rumour circulating that I've had a heart attack.
36:37Sorry.
36:38Best one to take her.
36:41You're going to keep this up all day?
36:43Look, I didn't push her, all right?
36:45Tell them, Tash.
36:47Oh, so she just happened to fall out by herself?
36:48Well, I don't know, do I, why don't you ask her?
36:54Forget it.
37:02Stuck up cow.
37:07Give me a chip.
37:09I thought you wanted to do modelling.
37:10Doesn't stop you from stuffing your face.
37:12Yeah, but I'm different, though, aren't I?
37:14How?
37:16Fast metabolism.
37:18Since when?
37:19You were a heifer till year eight?
37:22Puppy fat.
37:23Can't help it dropped off.
37:24It's not fair.
37:26All I have to do is look at my dinner.
37:28And I put on two pounds.
37:29Well, if you want to do modelling, you better stick to that salad.
37:31The camera adds at least a stone.
37:33What?
37:34That's what that photographer said.
37:36He said if you're anything over a size six,
37:38you'll look like a porker in your photos.
37:42I thought you didn't want to be a model.
37:45I thought it was dead shallow.
37:49Give us another one.
37:52Take them all.
37:53I don't feel too well.
38:05OK, go on.
38:06I'll see you later.
38:07Yes.
38:08Tasha, are you OK?
38:11Just get off my case, will you?
38:14Steph, why is it that every time I turn around,
38:18you seem to be hassling Tasha Lefton?
38:20I'm not.
38:21I just...
38:22Look, have you asked me, the girl's got a problem.
38:24Yeah, with you it looks like.
38:25What do you mean?
38:26I don't expect you to like all your pupils,
38:28but I certainly don't expect you to pick on the ones you don't.
38:31Why would I be picking on her?
38:33Will you tell me?
38:34Maybe it's not just the kids who are jealous of Tasha getting her face in the papers.
38:37Oh, please.
38:38You're not honestly saying that...
38:39I am saying leave her alone.
38:49Kim, Tasha Lefton.
38:51Can I have a look at her file?
38:52Problem?
38:53How's things at home with her?
38:55Oh, I wouldn't really know.
38:57I've not really had many dealings with her, which is usually good news.
39:01Why?
39:02What are you thinking?
39:04Nothing yet.
39:04I've just got a hunch that something's not right.
39:07Well, do you want me to pull her in?
39:08No, no reason.
39:09Just let me have a look at this and I'll get back to you.
40:12Can I go to the toilet?
40:13Yeah, go on.
40:33Come on.
40:36Come on.
40:37Come on.
40:43Come on.
40:46Come on.
40:46Come on.
40:51Come on.
40:53Come on.
40:55Come on.
40:57Come on.
40:59Come on.
41:01Come on.
41:03Come on.
41:05Come on.
41:07Come on.
41:09Come on.
41:25Come on.
41:31Come on.
41:33Come on.
41:36Come on.
41:41Come on.
41:41Tasha.
41:45Tasha.
41:45Tasha.
41:45Are you okay?
41:47Tasha.
41:49Tasha, tell me what you need.
41:51I'm going to get you some sugar.
41:52Now, come on.
41:53I want you to stay with me and I want you to take this.
41:56Is she okay, miss?
41:57She's diabetic.
41:58I think she's hypo.
41:59She won't take it.
42:00Here.
42:01No.
42:01Don't give her anything until I've taken her eat.
42:04Water.
42:04Water.
42:05I need water.
42:09Right.
42:10Oh, God.
42:11There's none left.
42:12That's a symptom of high sugar levels.
42:14But I thought it was sugar that she needed.
42:16No.
42:16Just the opposite.
42:17Her blood sugar levels are sky high.
42:18She needs insulin.
42:20Quick.
42:20Okay.
42:21When was the last time you had any insulin?
42:23I don't know.
42:24No, I don't eat it.
42:25Why does she not want to take it?
42:27She's just confused.
42:28Hold her still, will you?
42:29Danielle, hold her still.
42:30Shh.
42:31No.
42:32No.
42:33No.
42:34No.
42:34No.
42:34No.
42:34No.
42:34No.
42:35No.
42:35What's going on?
42:36She had a fit or something?
42:37She's fine.
42:38I'm just saying.
42:39Yeah, well, don't.
42:40Okay, you lot.
42:41Show over.
42:41Get to your classes.
42:42Go on.
42:44I need you two to take her up to Miss Mason's office, okay?
42:47I'll be there in a minute.
42:48Yes, sir.
42:49She'll have to go to the hospital this afternoon just to get checked.
42:53There's no way her levels should be that high.
42:57So, she does something really nice for you and now you're not speaking to her?
43:00Look, I felt bad enough about her dad's money, but now...
43:03Well, this makes it worse, Mum.
43:05Get over yourself.
43:06The girl loves you.
43:07She wants to be with you.
43:09So much so, she does something huge and you throw it back in her face.
43:12Yeah, good guy you are.
43:13He's not like that.
43:15It is, though.
43:17Sort it out, Marl.
43:19Pride's a terrible thing.
43:46Yeah, it was a serious incident.
43:49She will need picking up and checking out at hospital.
43:52Great.
43:53Thank you, Mrs. Lefton.
43:54Yeah.
44:00Tasha, your mum's on her way.
44:01Do you want anything?
44:02A glass of water, a cup of tea, anything like that?
44:04No.
44:05Okay, girls.
44:06Back to class, thank you.
44:09Gonna be okay till your mum comes.
44:15Brought you this.
44:18Can I have a word with Tasha, please?
44:22Yeah.
44:25Right.
44:28This is your last shot.
44:31What's going on, Tasha?
44:38Rose.
44:44You did it.
44:46You're flaming, did it?
44:48What was it?
44:49The exam.
44:49You romped it.
44:51I mean, some of your answers, they were brilliant.
44:53I passed.
44:54Yeah.
44:54I passed.
44:58Thank you, thank you so much.
45:00Check me.
45:01I'm a flaming genius.
45:03Yes, you are.
45:04And I'll tell you what else, it's a real finger up to all those people that thought you were
45:07just some sink-estate-alky mum.
45:10Yeah.
45:12Like you did?
45:14No, I didn't think that.
45:15Well, don't worry about it.
45:17But once people have got you down or something.
45:19Yeah, well, who cares what everyone else thinks?
45:21You do.
45:23No, I don't.
45:24It's okay.
45:25I don't blame you.
45:27For a minute there, I just forgot who I was.
45:30The mad woman who shouts from the roof.
45:34Rose, no.
45:35I...
45:35Exams are important, yeah, but some things you can't change.
45:42I'll see you tomorrow.
45:43And thank you for everything you've done for me.
45:47I really appreciate it.
45:56It's not a big deal.
45:58Sometimes I just forget to take it.
46:01Forget to take something that's keeping you alive?
46:04Come on, Tasha.
46:05You are deliberately not taking your insulin.
46:07You don't know what it's like.
46:09I spend half the day pricking my finger, the other half shooting up.
46:12And the insulin just makes me fatter and fatter and I need...
46:15Please tell me that that is not what this is about.
46:19I don't take it.
46:20I lose weight, easy.
46:22Start taking it again, I'm gonna pile it all back on.
46:24Because you're not losing it properly.
46:27You're thin because your body's not working right.
46:30Look, I know that there are loads of skinny diabetics who take their medication morning, noon and night.
46:36Of course there is.
46:38The reason that they're thin is because they eat healthily and exercise like anybody that wants to stay in shape.
46:44Look, Tasha, we'd all love to be a magic size ten.
46:47Six?
46:48If you want to be a model, I've got to be a size six.
46:50Yes, if you want to fall over.
46:52What would you know?
46:53That not taking your insulin is making you sick.
46:56Come on, Tasha.
46:58You collapsed today and you can't flame and see.
47:00Is being thin worth going blind for?
47:05Well, I suppose it is like an eating disorder.
47:09But she eats all the time.
47:10She can eat as much as she likes but because she's not taking her insulin, she's permanently hungry and thirsty
47:16and the rest.
47:17That's why she's been feeling, you know, generally rotten.
47:22Anyway, I printed this out for you so you might understand.
47:25It's not a big deal.
47:27Tasha, it is a big deal.
47:28What?
47:29You're only lucky you keeled over in a corridor where someone found you.
47:32What if you'd passed out in your room in the night?
47:35What if you'd gone into a coma?
47:37I'd never have known.
47:38You'd have been dead.
47:40If I'm fat, I might as well be.
47:43If I'm not a model, then I'm not anything.
47:48For goodness sake, Tasha, don't say that.
47:52It's all right, love.
47:54We're gonna get this sorted.
47:56This is left and we'll do everything we can to help when you know that.
48:02I'm sorry, you know, for calling you a cow.
48:28I didn't shiver it down those stairs.
48:36Let's go to mine.
48:39Come on.
48:40I don't know about you, but I am starving.
48:46Fish and chips.
48:48I'll pay for everything.
48:53And loads of white bread butties.
48:56And loads of butter.
48:59And pizza on the side.
49:02I forgot I could get a kabab as well.
49:04And a doll for my knees.
49:07You're coming home.
49:08Come on, we'll walk together.
49:10I'm all right.
49:11I've got work to go to.
49:14Take a night off.
49:15It doesn't matter.
49:16Why?
49:16Because we don't need no money for the baby no more.
49:19Why did you tell Tom?
49:20Well, I thought you could change your mind.
49:22Obviously not.
49:23Something like that.
49:24Like what?
49:25How do you want me to be, Chloe?
49:27Clicking my heels and jumping for joy?
49:29It's funny because I don't feel like it.
49:31Stop it.
49:33How can I?
49:36What am I supposed to do?
49:37Just sit back and let you do this?
49:40What is it I have to do to make you happy, Chloe?
49:44You say we need money, I get a job.
49:47You say we need a house, so I find one.
49:50But nothing ever seems to be good enough for you.
49:55So please, just tell me what it is that I have to do and I'll do it.
50:01I can make it work.
50:02Listen, ten years from now, you can come home from your great job.
50:07Yeah, you'll walk through the front door and you'll be tripping over babies.
50:10We'll have loads.
50:11As many as you like.
50:13And I'll be all fat and have stretch marks, but do you know what?
50:16I won't care.
50:18Because we'll be happy.
50:20We'll have our family.
50:21Why?
50:23Just not now.
50:26I'll wait for work.
50:38Steph.
50:40I owe you an apology.
50:43If it's about this morning, then pfft, water off a duck's back.
50:47No, I'm not apologising for questioning your teaching ability.
50:51You and I both know that you're not the strongest teacher in the school
50:54and that is something you're going to have to address.
50:58But...
51:00Your instincts regarding the kids are excellent and...
51:06Your concern for the welfare is second to none.
51:09So thank you for what you did today.
51:13I'll see you tomorrow.
51:14Well, you will.
51:16Bright and breezy.
51:19With your doctors now.
51:26So, how are we going to do this?
51:29Just going to give him the money back.
51:30Tell him we're seeing each other again.
51:32Can't you just stick it through the letterbox of a note?
51:35If he knows we're back together, he'll just get on the case.
51:38Look, I don't want us a secret anymore, okay?
51:41He gave us that money for me to steer clear of you.
51:43If you give it back to him, then he hasn't got a leg to stand on, has he?
51:46Yeah, but I've still got to live with him, haven't I?
51:50Look, you do know I'm going to pay you back, don't you?
51:52You don't have to.
51:53Yeah, but I will.
51:56I'm not going to get your mum's ring back though, is it?
51:58It's just a thing.
51:59It's not like I'm going to forget her, just because it's gone.
52:04What's she like?
52:06Beautiful.
52:08Funny.
52:09It's dropping.
52:10You think that reminds me of, eh?
52:13He's so crazy.
52:17Yeah, yeah, he's crazy about our love.
52:28But there's no love.
52:29Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
52:31But there's no love.
52:31Hi.
52:32Hiya.
52:35How's Tasha?
52:37Mum's taken her off to hospital, get her checked out.
52:40Just hope she hasn't done herself any permanent damage.
52:43I'm gonna, I'm gonna, um, set her up with some counselling sessions.
52:46Good.
52:48Mmm.
52:54Right, erm, well.
52:58Well, I'll see you tomorrow.
53:04Eddie?
53:06Eddie, wait.
53:08Erm, just...
53:10About earlier, what you said.
53:13You know, maybe...
53:16Maybe you're right.
53:17Maybe...
53:17I'm overreacting about the staff knowing.
53:21Okay.
53:22I mean, we are grown-ups, aren't we?
53:24Absolutely.
53:25Professionals.
53:26Naturally.
53:27If you're...
53:29Happy to go public, then I am.
53:34So...
53:35Dating-wise, where are we?
53:37America, or...?
53:38England. No, England.
53:39Definitely England.
53:40Like that exclusive one.
53:42If that's all right with you.
53:44Yeah, perfect.
53:47If I'm alive...
53:50So it's me.
53:52Something here was wrong...
53:54So...
53:55Does this mean I can hold your hand in the playground?
53:59Wish you luck.
54:00You've got my own style...
54:04Cos I'm crazy...
54:07I'm just too crazy about...
54:12Our love...
54:16How are you?
54:18Get in sight.
54:20I think there's gonna be a show I wanna watch.
54:21Same here.
54:22Now.
54:26Been out?
54:27Went for pizza.
54:29Promise the kids if I passed.
54:31Listen about that.
54:32Forget it.
54:34Forget it.
54:34I have.
54:36When I was 15, I nicked a bag of sweets off an old lady who lived next door.
54:40She was in a wheelchair.
54:41She only got to the sweet shop once a week.
54:43Don't know why I did it.
54:44I don't even like mint Imperials.
54:46And once I was at this posh dinner and some bloke told a joke and I laughed so hard that
54:51the soup came out my nose.
54:55That's disgusting.
54:56There's worse.
54:57Much worse.
54:58I don't wanna hear us.
55:00Then read it.
55:01I've been sat in the car three hours.
55:03I've made a list.
55:04The best stuff's not even on there.
55:08You ages.
55:10I cheated on my pregnant wife on our wedding day with our best mate.
55:14She got rid of our baby because of it.
55:16What has she done to deserve that?
55:18All right.
55:22I said inside.
55:27Everyone screws up.
55:29It's just some of us manage to do it behind closed doors.
55:33It doesn't make us any better than those that shouted from the rooftops.
55:37So don't ever reckon that I'm better than you are because I'm not.
55:41I don't even come close.
55:43I could never have done what you've done.
55:48I can't.
56:02I could never even come.
56:09I don't have to swap them.
56:12I could never have to swap them late for two weeks.
56:13Good night.
56:13My grave mustände the
56:19Donny? Donny, is that you? When did you get back?
56:29You must let me off work early. What's that?
56:34Going to my dad's. What do you mean?
56:36Just what I said. But you can't.
56:40Watch me. Donny, don't be stupid.
56:43Why not? That's all I ever seem to be lately.
56:46Donny, we're not the problem. It's the baby.
56:50Alright, I still love you. I want to be with you.
56:55You think I want to be with you?
57:43You think I want to be with you?
