Transcript
00:00.
00:26Morning.
00:27Morning.
00:28One more push, eh?
00:30It'll be great to see the whole thing for the first time.
00:32Yeah, I suppose.
00:33Come on, Matt.
00:34It's going to be a great show whether Liam Boyd's there or not.
00:37I did try, didn't I?
00:38Yeah, I know.
00:40Just he's such a massive figure in theatre land, you know?
00:43So much for him wanting to catch amateur productions.
00:46Well, it's his look out if he passes up on the next Billy Elliot or Stephen Sondheim.
00:58I can't.
01:02You know something, girls?
01:05We need a holiday.
01:06Get away for a bit.
01:07Yeah?
01:08Where?
01:09You ever been skiing?
01:11You'll love it.
01:16Morning.
01:17Don't tell me you've forgotten.
01:19What, sir?
01:19No.
01:20We're pitching Rochdale Business and Enterprise Centre, Rockbeck, to the DFES, which is why
01:25I'm out in my bed an hour earlier than normal.
01:26We could have put a tie on or something.
01:28Oh, well, if that's what's going to swing it, maybe it wasn't such a good idea after all.
01:33Thanks, love.
01:34Er, supper's in there.
01:37Oh, I'm going to be a bit late.
01:39I'm afraid, thanks to that flaming musical.
01:42It might be fun.
01:43I've always loved a musical.
01:45Maybe one day when I'm feeling better.
01:47Yeah.
01:50Look, if you know what the GP said, you need professional help.
01:59That means getting up.
02:02The musical.
02:05Come.
02:06I'll take you there.
02:07Yeah?
02:08I'm not ready, Grantley.
02:10Yeah, well, you're not missing much.
02:13I expect.
02:15I mean, I'm only going cos I have to.
02:16I'm sorry, love.
02:18Shh, shh, shh, shh.
02:20Oh, don't you worry yourself.
02:32Okay, shall we have a go at this presentation?
02:35Hey, where's your stuff?
02:38Oh, come on.
02:39Calm down.
02:39I know what I'm going to say.
02:40I want it to come out naturally, you know, as if I mean it.
02:43Well, I've added a bit to my section.
02:47Vocational learning entitlement for all pupils.
02:51Erm, take it you haven't spoken to your ex-wife yet.
02:56Shouldn't you?
02:57Haven't I said enough about that?
02:59Look, are you worried about this presentation or not?
03:06Sir!
03:07I just wanted to say, I think Mr. Lawson did me a favour by booting me off a musical.
03:14To be honest, I'm relieved.
03:18Mika's welcome to the part.
03:19Well, I hope you've learnt your lesson.
03:21Oh, sir, we'd like to write a review of the show for the school paper.
03:25But there'll be no sour grapes.
03:27Of course not.
03:28It'll be an honest opinion.
03:30I wish I hadn't told Mason I'd do this musical.
03:33The last thing I'd want is seeing Slushy Love songs into Brass Bloom's face.
03:37Try and pretend he's Orlando Bloom.
03:39No, I wish.
03:41Screw me.
03:43Oh, what next, Armageddon the musical?
03:47Bradley?
03:49Sorry, mate, it's paying up time.
03:51What?
03:51The 500 quid.
03:53Oh, yeah.
03:54Erm, just waiting for a cheque to go in.
03:57I need the cash, Bradley.
04:00Well, I'll have to go to the bank after school.
04:02I don't carry that amount of money around with me.
04:05How about I give you a lift at lunchtime?
04:06I don't need a lift.
04:07And I'll make sure that you are repaid in full, alright?
04:33Good.
04:33Good.
04:33Well done.
04:34Me come, me come.
04:35Come.
04:47You OK?
04:48What, with him there?
04:50Come on, Mika.
04:51We're gonna give you another go at suddenly last summer before the technical rehearsal.
05:01OK, just...
05:02Just give it a little bit more welly, OK?
05:12Someone's standing on your foot, Mika.
05:18Mika.
05:19Can I have a word?
05:24Mika.
05:25I know what you're gonna say.
05:26I'm not trying, Harden.
05:28Well, can you deny it?
05:30No.
05:30Because I don't wanna try.
05:32I only came back because Miss Mason taught me into it.
05:34The trouble is, you've said you would, so now the whole school's relying on you.
05:37You don't know the pressure.
05:39I made up with Chloe because I've got no choice.
05:42But I'll never make up with Brett.
05:44It'll take an actress of real talent to pull it off.
05:47Look, Mika.
05:49I know you've had a hard time, but you can't let a lecherous little sod like Brett Aspinall stand in
05:55the way of your career.
05:56Career?
05:57It's only a stupid school musical.
06:00Aha.
06:01But that's where you're wrong.
06:03There is no knowing where this might lead.
06:07There's a top director coming from Manchester.
06:11Mr Wilding's part friend knows him.
06:14And he's almost definitely gonna turn up.
06:19The point is, he's looking for talent.
06:21So who do you want him to spot?
06:23Eh?
06:24You?
06:24Or that little show off Brett?
06:34Yeah.
06:35All right.
06:36Yeah.
06:37Great.
06:40Look, Chloe.
06:42The last thing me and Dante want is for you to feel, you know, like we're rubbing your nose in
06:50it.
06:51Course not.
06:52We're there for you, yeah?
06:55And there's no way we're not going to be mates.
06:58Is there?
07:00I'm happy for you.
07:02Honest.
07:03I just need to know, though.
07:06Is he, like, still angry with me?
07:10Only he's been a bit distant.
07:12Maybe he was.
07:14But he's over it now.
07:17You need to think about yourself.
07:19Look for someone else.
07:21I suppose you've been looking around.
07:24Yeah.
07:25Because Watley Road's got loads of talent.
07:36Right.
07:37Let's get started with the warm up, everyone.
07:39OK, come on, everyone.
07:42Come on.
07:45So if you're in charge of props, you have to make sure that they're put back after every
07:49scene, especially at the beginning.
07:51If there's any changes, let the cast know.
07:53Are you writing this down?
07:53Warm up your mouth now.
07:55Mwah.
07:56Mwah.
07:56That's it.
07:57Mwah.
07:58Silly.
07:58Good.
07:58Where's Miss Haydock?
07:59The technical rehearsal should have started eleven minutes ago.
08:02It's OK, Carla.
08:03Mwah.
08:04Miss Haydock's just running a bit late.
08:05Mwah.
08:06Mwah.
08:06You just do everything the same as before.
08:08OK?
08:10Mwah.
08:11Mwah.
08:12Mwah.
08:12Mwah.
08:13Mr Clarkson's got special eyes for you.
08:15Mwah.
08:15No, actually, I think Mr Clarkson is just a bit of a show off.
08:19Mwah.
08:20Mwah.
08:21Mwah.
08:22Mwah.
08:23Mwah.
08:23Mwah.
08:24Mr Wilding, I think you'll find that our leading lady is up for the challenge.
08:33Right.
08:33Let's get cracking.
08:39You don't know how much this will mean to the children of this school, so we're begging
08:42you to consider...
08:43Whoa, whoa, hang on a minute.
08:44Begging?
08:45You're trying to make us look like a couple of pillocks?
08:47Nothing wrongs.
08:48Nothing wrong with a bit of sucking up if it works.
08:49Nothing wrong with a bit of sucking up if it works.
08:49No, but there is such a thing as trying too hard.
08:53Begging.
08:55What the hell do you think you're playing at?
08:58I'm just setting up refreshments for Miss Mason's guests.
09:01Yeah, well, I'm sure Miss Mason would rather I dealt with the alcoholic beverages.
09:08Yeah, we'll save some for the VIPs.
09:10Beg your pardon?
09:11Well, you don't get a red nose like that through drinking pot, mate.
09:15I am in no way and never will be your mate.
09:19Seven.
09:21Oh dear, this one's been tampered with already.
09:27Hmm.
09:31Ew.
09:32It's corked.
09:34Corked?
09:34Oh, you wouldn't understand.
09:39I'm going to put this one aside.
09:41Don't want to go poisoning our guests, do we?
09:46PHONE RINGS
09:55Lewis, erm...
09:57Do you know how much that's worth?
09:59About 25p.
10:02Well over £100.
10:04But it's yours for £50.
10:07How would I want that piece of crap?
10:11Sell it? Ebay?
10:13You put it on eBay if you're that desperate.
10:15Do you mind?
10:16Got work to do.
10:20I really need you to sing out and go for it in this rehearsal, okay?
10:23Just so the sound guys can get a good sense of the level.
10:26Make sure you speak up for your dialogue as well.
10:29Don't let it flag.
10:30If you need a line, Mika, you especially, just say prompt.
10:34Carla's on the book and she'll feed you a line, okay?
10:38Let's treat this like the real thing.
10:40If anything goes wrong, just keep going.
10:42We'll make a note of it and we'll talk it through at the end, okay?
10:45Just remember where your props are before we begin, please.
10:48Okay, folks?
10:51Starting positions.
10:55Thanks, yeah.
10:57I'm not doing this for you, am I?
11:03Sorry, I had to nip out for something.
11:05PHONE RINGS
11:07Hello, can I help you?
11:08It's a one-off, okay.
11:10Then I appreciate it. We're coming.
11:12Can you just hold on to something, please?
11:15Rachel, your guests are here.
11:17Oh, thanks.
11:21Ready?
11:22I'm as ready as I'll ever be.
11:30Hello.
11:30There you go.
11:32Hello, Oliver Liddell from the DFES.
11:33Billy Lawson, Deputy Head.
11:35And we all know Nigel, our Chair of Governors.
11:37Shall we go through to the boardroom?
11:40I think you'll be impressed, Nigel. She's a crack in that teacher.
11:44I believe, passionately, that a business enterprise status would allow us to innovate in a way that would suit the
11:50pupils, the school and the community.
11:53And with the other facility of a purpose-built training centre, we envisage being able to provide vocational skills and
12:01equip the children with the tools for lifelong learning.
12:04And the impact would be immediate. No long-term promises that takes generations to pay off.
12:10Very impressive.
12:16We've already put in place a number of work experience initiatives and business start-up exercises which have been embraced
12:22enthusiastically by both the pupils and the local community.
12:26Mr Lawson, there's someone here to see you.
12:28Bridget, I thought I said absolutely no interruptions.
12:32Only it's your wife.
12:36Er, excuse me.
12:39And as Eddie was saying...
12:42Enthusiasm from both pupils and the local community.
12:45Thank you, yes. That was it.
12:49Say hello to you, Dad.
12:50Oh, yeah, mate. Oh, come here. Oh, thank God.
12:52Rachel says you're missing.
12:53Come here.
12:53I've had enough, Eddie. It's your problem now.
12:57This is stupid.
12:59Oh, look, you can't leave me here.
13:01Er, we have set out some very specific...
13:04We've set a most...
13:06I'm really sorry. Could you just, erm...
13:08Can you bear with me a minute?
13:09Alison!
13:10Please.
13:11Why are you doing this now?
13:14She's left it with me.
13:16Um, listen, we've got to get on with our presentation.
13:18I'll get Jasmine to look after you.
13:19No way.
13:19I'm not having another stranger upset him even more.
13:21Eddie, did you hear me? We have got to...
13:23Rachel, did you hear me?
13:24You have to present on your own.
13:26And if you want someone to blame for this, blame yourself.
13:29I don't know your presentation.
13:38Ladies and gentlemen, I am really sorry about that.
13:42For now, would you mind awfully retiring to our hospitality suite?
13:46It's just around the corner, it's...
13:48First door on the left.
13:49I will be following you very, very shortly.
13:52I promise.
13:53I know this is totally out of the ordinary.
14:02Well, I can't muscle up party food in five minutes, can I?
14:06Well, there's plenty of booze here, I suppose.
14:08I could cut up a few tubes of cheese, make a few sandwiches.
14:11But that's just what?
14:16Look, love, chances are he'll come back at closing time.
14:20And if he doesn't?
14:22Mika doesn't even want to be in the flipping show.
14:25But the whole thing's a pile of crap.
14:28They all got booed off.
14:31And we can slag them right in our reviews.
14:34For God's sakes, Lise, can't you just drop it?
14:37You can't drop it, Daniel.
14:42Wasn't you practising for weeks?
14:45All you got was dropped out of school council.
14:48Big deal.
14:49Well, it doesn't matter what you think now.
14:51Cos it's happening without you.
14:52Well, I'm gonna make sure it doesn't.
14:55And are you gonna do that?
14:57What if we steal Kyle's prep book?
15:00Put all the pages in the wrong guard off?
15:04Count me out.
15:07OK, let's do that one more time.
15:09Just call me Sarah.
15:10Please.
15:12If anything's happened to our son because of you, I'll leave you, George Hepworth.
15:17I mean it.
15:20Cue doorbell.
15:23Cue doorbell.
15:32Um, obviously that, um, that little incident shouldn't have happened.
15:37Little incident?
15:38Your deputy head is in the middle of a family crisis, which he brought right into the centre of the
15:43school.
15:43Well, don't worry, because I'm gonna be dealing with it.
15:46A bit late, now it's happened.
15:48Unfortunate.
15:49Yeah.
15:51Unfortunate to say the least.
15:52But, it's made me realize that, uh, there's a much better way than a dry presentation to show you guys
16:02just what this school is capable of.
16:05And that is our, um, business enterprise ethos in action.
16:12Um, some of you will be aware that it's, uh, our end of term school musical this evening.
16:17But what you don't know is, we have a matinee performance.
16:20Um, curtain up in less than two hours time.
16:24Eh?
16:26Now, I'm gonna just check with the, um, the musical director that, you know, everything's on the go.
16:31So, uh, um, and those, those sausage rolls and things, they're gonna be out of the oven in time for
16:35the interval, Lewis?
16:36Yes.
16:36Great, thank you.
16:38I really appreciate you guys staying on for the show.
16:41Uh, our, our pupils and our staff put 150% into this musical.
16:45Well, that's something at least.
16:46I'm looking forward to meeting the parents.
16:49Uh, school show is a good indication of a strong partnership with the community.
16:53Yeah, well, all I can say is, you're in for a real treat.
17:06Watch where you're walking.
17:11Grantley.
17:12Grantley.
17:14Time to visit the bank, yeah?
17:15Don't you think I've got enough demands being made on me at the moment?
17:19I don't understand.
17:20No.
17:21Nobody bloody understands, do they?
17:24Eh.
17:25Maybe if you stayed sober for a week, you'd be able to honour your debts.
17:29Right.
17:29Come on, then.
17:30Where's your car?
17:31I'll honour my flaming debts!
17:33Grantley!
17:35Chorus, I want you to sing right to the back of the room, okay?
17:38And make sure you don't let your accents slip.
17:40You know, you're deep as Rochdale.
17:42We really want to emphasise the gulf between you and Brett.
17:45No problem there, then.
17:49Yeah, fab.
17:52Bert, I am really, really sorry, but we're going to have to put on a matinee performance this afternoon.
17:56Oh, my God.
17:57It's going to be better.
17:59Joke, yeah?
18:00No.
18:01No joke.
18:02Look at the time.
18:03We can't put performance on this afternoon.
18:05They're not ready.
18:05It's an emergency.
18:07We've got a room full of VIPs waiting to be entertained.
18:09I don't care.
18:10We haven't even done our dress rehearsal.
18:11I totally understand, but needs must.
18:13It's got to go on.
18:14In fact, you've got about two hours max.
18:17This is mad.
18:18You want a full performance in front of, what, a dozen people?
18:21And that's where Steph can help, because you can do a trawl of the local area.
18:25What, in these heels?
18:26You can cope.
18:27Jasmine, you come too.
18:30Right, everyone, time to get into costume.
18:34Next performance is in front of an audience.
18:41Steph, phone the local community centre.
18:44Old folks home.
18:46Get round to the local pubs if you have to.
18:48Take Maxine and Janice with you.
18:50Get them to round the mates up.
18:51Tell them there's a free concert happening, loads of refreshments.
18:54Stress loads off.
18:55What, of booze?
18:56Yeah, I guess so.
18:57I'll pay you out of petty cash.
18:59Jasmine, I need you to pull out all the stops, entertain our VIPs, just until we're up and running, yeah?
19:05I don't mind if you have to sing a song.
19:06I can't sing.
19:08Well, dance then.
19:10What, and you off to have a nice lunch with your friends?
19:12Who, me?
19:12No, I'm in the middle of a custody battle.
19:19Alison.
19:21No.
19:22I just want to, I want to chat.
19:24Oh.
19:35Oh.
19:38Oh.
19:40Oh.
19:41Oh.
19:42Oh.
19:44Oh.
19:45Yeah.
19:48Oh.
19:59See? That's you.
20:01Yeah.
20:06You didn't know you had a daddy either, did you?
20:09I didn't.
20:10I knew.
20:14I'll tell you something.
20:16I'm never going to let you out of my sight ever again.
20:20OK.
20:26Do you like cars?
20:28I've got a 4x4. It's like a big tractor.
20:34Want to see it?
21:16I just want to talk to Dante for a sec.
21:19Just quickly.
21:31What?
21:34I think you should have it back, I know it's all over.
21:38Keep it, all right?
21:39Don't I?
21:40I don't want it.
21:41It just makes me sad.
21:45Take it, yeah?
21:49You know, I always thought that you're supposed to keep the rings till after the divorce.
21:58There's no point, right?
22:05I'll keep it somewhere safe.
22:19Don't I?
22:21Are you coming out or what?
22:23Yeah.
22:38This had better be right.
22:42Oh, there's something wrong with the machine, I'm sorry Tom.
22:46One last chance and I'll be able to give you 250 and the rest tomorrow.
22:53Oh, would you believe it?
22:57Hiya Davina.
23:00What?
23:01Er, when?
23:04Right, well I'll be as quick as I can.
23:06Yeah, okay.
23:07Bye.
23:08We brought the musical forward to this afternoon.
23:11Best not hung about.
23:12Let's get back to school.
23:12Oi, you don't get away with it that easy.
23:15Oh.
23:16I'll have to nip to the house, see what I've got in the home safe.
23:19The home safe?
23:20The home safe?
23:21You wouldn't be going to the bookies by any chance, would you?
23:23Give it a rest, Tom.
23:24You'll get your money.
23:26And when we get to my place, wait in the car.
23:36Okay, I've got about five minutes.
23:38Look, if you're here to plead Eddie's case, then...
23:40You know, I'm not interested in being a marriage counsellor.
23:43But from where I'm standing, it looks like you're using your little boy to get back at Eddie.
23:47What the hell makes you think you've got the right to an opinion?
23:50You've no idea what I've been through.
23:51Oh, well, I've got an inkling because Eddie told me.
23:53Oh, yeah, yeah.
23:55I can just imagine his version of events.
23:59What I don't think you know is the hell he's been through, too.
24:02Yeah, it must be really tough when the only thing you've got to worry about
24:05is when the next live football match is on.
24:08Eddie told me that you had a boyfriend.
24:10No.
24:11A few months of a screaming baby tests the most solid relationships.
24:15You know, I was the one left with the nappies whilst Eddie had his freedom.
24:19Not out to play the field.
24:22Look, I just think that you two really need to sort this mess out.
24:25And right now, I really need a deputy I can rely on.
24:31So, please.
24:41Fleur, love. It's only me.
24:42I'm sorry.
24:56I'm sorry.
25:00I'm sorry.
25:02I'm sorry.
25:04I'm sorry.
25:05I'm sorry.
25:06I'm sorry.
25:08I'm sorry.
25:08I'm sorry.
25:11I'm sorry.
25:11I'm sorry.
25:12I'm sorry.
25:14Oh, you look so upset this morning.
25:17Is there something wrong, Grantley?
25:19No, no.
25:20Grantley.
25:23Grantley.
25:26Grantley, what's going on?
25:28It's only Tom from school, dear.
25:31Nothing to worry about.
25:32Nothing to worry about? You haven't got any furniture, mate.
25:35Or hasn't she noticed?
25:36She hasn't been downstairs for three weeks.
25:39Not right.
25:40What's wrong with her?
25:42Just explain to me how that is any of your business.
25:46You shouldn't have, Grantley.
25:47All right, come on, it's time you weren't here.
25:48I just wish you'd said something before.
25:50You can't carry on living like this.
25:52Don't you tell me what I can and can't do,
25:54as if you are remotely interested.
25:56If you gave a monkey, she'd have asked me about Fleur well before this.
25:59I've had a few troubles of my own, haven't I?
26:01Oh, well, I suggest you get back to them
26:03and stop sticking your nose in where it isn't wanted.
26:07Grantley, you need help, you both do.
26:08You will get your money, payday.
26:11That's a promise.
26:12Go on.
26:13Go on.
26:14Grantley, what's going on?
26:22He's a cheeky get.
26:24Grantley, what was he saying about the furniture?
26:26Right, come on.
26:27Let's get you settled.
26:28I don't understand.
26:29Yeah, and then I'm going to have to go.
26:31I don't want to give Frau Mason another stick to peep me with.
26:35Ruth, you get torn into those cakes.
26:38Cheer yourself up.
26:54What's amazed me, I know I'm fairly new,
26:56but it's how Miss Mason has come in and got her hands dirty.
27:01She's got a real passion for getting her kids ready for the world of work.
27:05And it's rubbing off on all of us.
27:07Oh, here.
27:09Let me top you up there.
27:11I'm Glaswegian.
27:13And empty glass makes me go weak at the knees.
27:31Guys, listen to me, listen.
27:33Now, I know this is all very exciting, but tight.
27:35Listen, girls, boys, we haven't got much time,
27:37so any girls who haven't got their costume yet,
27:40go and see Miss Shackleton up there.
27:42Boys, boys, have you got all yours going on?
27:45OK, right, now, Becky.
27:47Becky, yeah?
27:49We're running in.
27:50We're running in.
27:50Where are you?
27:51Get there.
27:52Get there now.
27:53OK, line there.
27:54Right.
27:55Turn.
27:55Remember, you've got the audience there.
27:56I never want to see you again.
27:57Right, OK.
27:58You've got my line before that.
27:59OK, I'm sorry.
28:00I'll do anything to get you back now, guys.
28:03I never want to see you again.
28:05Nearly.
28:06I never want to see you again.
28:08I'll do anything to get you back.
28:09Just forget it.
28:12Oh.
28:13Good.
28:14Yes!
28:15Get in!
28:21Where are we going?
28:23I should have asked my mom.
28:25Yeah.
28:26Right now.
28:26Now we're going fast.
28:28And we're going to fall.
28:29I've just got to nip out for a second.
28:37So what's this all about, Alison?
28:40Let's talk, Eddie.
28:42Starts in ten minutes, Eddie.
28:43I really need you there.
28:48She's some woman.
28:50Yeah.
28:53Second scariest woman in the world.
28:57None of this should have happened.
28:59I want to explain why.
29:02Only it's going to take a lot longer than ten minutes.
29:19And one more thing.
29:21Articulate, okay?
29:23There is no point in Miss Goreshie wasting her time with all the words and lyrics if no one can
29:27hear them.
29:28Yes, but the main thing is, enjoy yourselves, everybody.
29:31This is it.
29:32This is crunch time.
29:33Mika, I know you've had very little time, okay, but scene four, you've got to know your cue.
29:38I know.
29:39What do you think I'm doing?
29:41If you can't remember your lines, just bite them on your hands or something.
29:47Good.
29:48Great.
29:48And after that, if you forget again, then just ask Carla.
29:51You all right with that, Carla?
29:54I'll tell you what, we are going to make Waterloo Road proud!
29:59Come on!
30:05Look, the audience won't be made up of regular theatre-goers.
30:08And what does that mean?
30:09Don't panic, Matt.
30:11Everything will be fine.
30:16Hang on.
30:17Where's Tom?
30:41Hello?
30:43Yes?
30:47Can I order a taxi, please?
30:50Thanks, Scott.
30:52So, why's Tom?
30:54You'd better let Rachel know we're going to be late getting started.
30:57I'll break the news to Andrew Lloyd Webber.
31:00Sorry.
31:00Where have you been?
31:01Don't ask.
31:02You must have some excuse.
31:05I was at Grantley's.
31:07His house is completely empty.
31:09No furniture.
31:11His wife's bed bound.
31:12Apparently she hasn't been downstairs for weeks.
31:14Why not?
31:15I don't know.
31:16I mean, scared or nervous or something.
31:19What, scared of him?
31:21I don't think so.
31:22I mean, he's seemed really upset about it.
31:24I don't know, you know.
31:26I've seen the bully in him.
31:30Why not you, um, go and arrest him?
31:35You're lying.
31:37Lovely.
31:38Right.
31:39Is everyone ready?
31:41Is everybody ready?
31:44Matt?
31:46Calm down.
31:49I've got this feeling everything's going to go wrong.
31:51Everything's not going wrong.
31:52Everything's going right.
31:53We've got our leading lady.
31:54We've got our leading man.
31:55So stop panicking.
32:07It's good turnout.
32:09Yeah, not bad for a school with no track record in the performing arts.
32:13As you can see, we are up against it.
32:15Still, you've managed to get the, uh, bums on seats.
32:18Yeah.
32:20Come on.
32:21He's not for us waiting.
32:22Here we go.
32:23Let's get down in this seat.
32:25See you.
32:27See you.
33:06Let's not worry about it.
33:27Are you coming or not, love?
33:38Look, missus, I ain't got all day.
33:40Sorry.
33:41Sorry.
33:57Sorry.
33:57I'm not lost forever, but I only just have found.
34:04And in this cold and lonely night, I don't know how to make it right.
34:12Just when I thought she understood, suddenly last summer's gone for good.
34:28I don't know how to make it right.
34:58Look, love, chances are he'll come back at closing time.
35:02And if he doesn't?
35:05If anything's happened to our son, if you've put him in any danger, I'll leave you, George Hepworth.
35:11I mean it.
35:25Ding-dong!
35:32Yes, I'll leave you, and I'll go and live somewhere else.
35:39Far, far away from this house.
35:43I'm far away from this garden.
35:50I'm far away from this garden.
36:05Hey!
36:05Hey!
36:05Hey!
36:05Hey!
36:05Hey!
36:05Hey!
36:17Hey, hey, you're all right, Mrs. Bloddy?
36:26Young Jamie A.R. has been involved in a fight.
36:30A fight with whom?
36:32Cast of Animal Farm, by the sounds of it.
36:37Can you give a cow an Aspo?
36:40You can give a donkey an Aspo, I suppose?
36:44He's making it up, Miss Shackleton.
36:49I imagine you'd suggest I keep him on a tighter rein, officer, wouldn't you?
36:54Right, young man, I don't want to see you again.
36:59I'll bid you goodnight, then.
37:02APPLAUSE
37:07Well, what have you got to say for yourself, Jamie?
37:10I've got to say for myself that I love Shannon and she loves me
37:13and nothing you can do is going to stop us getting together.
37:19Your father only wants the best for you, Jamie.
37:21It's only because we love you
37:26Only because we care
37:29We just want the truth now
37:32Tell us the truth
37:33You know, you're having stitches today.
37:38Yeah?
37:40Yeah.
37:42I haven't laughed so much for a long time.
37:47Me neither.
37:48It's been great, you know.
37:56What do you think of this?
37:57Even though Mika Greenger tried her best
37:59it was obvious that her voice didn't match the syrupy lyrics of wilding songs.
38:03The show suffered from amateur lapses
38:05and the comical cock-up by continuity girl Carla Bentham
38:08had the audience in stitches.
38:10Must have been in different shows.
38:11What the production lacked in singing talent it made up for
38:14in the unsuppressed naffness of Miss Haydott's choreographer.
38:20That's what I think about that.
38:23Don't write a laugh.
38:24I've had so much fun in ages.
38:26What did you think, little fella?
38:28He's so like you.
38:30Listen, I'd better go.
38:32I've got some schmoozing to do.
38:34I can't believe you're a deputy headteacher.
38:41I said ding-dong.
38:43Yeah.
38:44And you were right, Carla.
38:49They were laughing with you, not at you.
38:52You can only laugh with someone if they're laughing too
38:54and I can assure you I wasn't laughing.
38:57Then maybe you should.
38:58The crowd are loving it out there.
38:59They're a brilliant audience.
39:00Jasmine wrote a drama, not a comedy.
39:03I meant to wait trying and keep the integrity of the piece here.
39:07I know Mr Clarkson was only trying to help.
39:10But how many times have I told you
39:12if something goes wrong, you keep going.
39:14Sorry, Matt.
39:15If we can't take ourselves seriously,
39:17then how can we expect the audience to...
39:20What?
39:20The doorbell mooed.
39:23I said ding-dong.
39:24No one would listen.
39:25Carla, it's OK.
39:26You're going.
39:28Oh, great.
39:29Yeah, that's all I need.
39:30Carla!
39:40Manners!
39:44She went that way, miss.
39:47Thanks, Alicia.
39:51You're so pathetic, Alicia.
39:55It's all Carla's fault.
39:58If it weren't for her,
39:59I'd be up there getting our laughs and applause.
40:05If you'd like to make your way to the canteen,
40:09there's teas and coffers.
40:16Matt, you're sabotaging your own production.
40:19This used to be about the kids.
40:21Kids, it's not about you.
40:22Now, stay here and we'll come and get you when it's over.
40:37Yeah, that was a funny bit, yeah.
40:39It's not bad, is it?
40:40Yeah.
40:41Seems like they're all having a good time out there.
40:42And to be honest, so am I.
40:43It's very dramatic.
40:45A little like your own altercation earlier.
40:47That's all sorted.
40:50Congratulations, everyone.
40:52The kids did you really proud.
40:54Let's go.
40:55Let's go.
41:07Let's go.
41:12Let's go.
41:13Let's go.
41:15Let's go.
41:16Let's go.
41:17Let's go.
41:18Let's go.
41:18Let's go.
41:18Let's go.
41:18Let's go.
41:19Let's go.
41:21Let's go.
41:41What are you doing?
41:44Put that bag now.
41:47Alicia!
41:49It's Carla's diary.
41:51They make me smile in the morning because they're always laughing even when it's raining.
41:55Danielle was laughing today so much.
41:57I think someone told her a funny joke.
42:00It made me happy.
42:06If I could be anyone in the world, it would be Alicia.
42:09She's so beautiful and sings even more beautifully.
42:13I feel so evil.
42:15Carla!
42:16Carla!
42:18Have you seen Carla?
42:20Look, if you two know where she is, you'd better tell me.
42:24I don't know, honest.
42:26We'll help you look for her, though.
42:28Okay.
42:29Thanks.
42:32It's never going to happen, Jamie.
42:34Am I supposed to go out with someone that talks like Prince Charles?
42:37Is that what you care about?
42:38What people think?
42:39Well, there's your posh mates and all.
42:41One of them said I talk like a toilet cleaner.
42:43Well, my posh mates can sod off if he gets in the way of us.
42:50Well, next time you want to impress me or something, just take me out for a pizza.
42:53Do you mean that?
42:55You wouldn't mind going out with a loser?
42:57I wouldn't be the first.
42:59I'd like to be the last.
43:02I wish I could forget you.
43:05Boy, you know I've tried.
43:08But every time I hear your name, I start burning up inside.
43:14No matter what I try to do.
43:17You all right?
43:18Yeah, yeah.
43:19I'm just a bit nervous.
43:21Rachel.
43:23I'll never be able to repay you for what you've done.
43:26It's not just seeing Michael and you.
43:27I think me and Alison are ready to talk to.
43:29No.
43:35She definitely came this way.
43:37Well, maybe she's gone home.
43:39On her own.
43:41Carla!
43:42Carla!
43:44It's only us!
43:45Carla!
43:45Carla!
43:48There you are!
43:54Are you...
43:55Are you all right, babes?
43:57Come on, everyone's worried about you.
43:59It was the wrong words.
44:01It's not your fault, Carl.
44:07Go get your heart cut in.
44:11Yeah.
44:15Come on, Carla.
44:17I'm sorry, okay?
44:22See?
44:24It's all right.
44:26You with your mates.
44:33Do that, we gotta face it.
44:36I wish I understood.
44:38How you messing with my mind could make me feel so good.
44:44I guess if love is here to stay, we're never gonna get away.
44:50Why does it have to be you're the only one?
44:56Why does it have to be you're the only one?
44:57Nobody gets me like you do, yeah.
45:02But how can I walk away when the deal is done?
45:06From the moment we first met, our destiny was set.
45:13And now there's nowhere left to run.
45:17You are the only one.
45:23You're all right, love.
45:38It's all right.
45:39Come on, nice and steady.
45:41Take deep breaths.
45:42Count four in between each one.
45:44Please.
45:45Please.
45:45I'm fine.
45:46It was just the heat.
45:49Thanks, girls.
45:55Always get water in an emergency.
45:59Do you think I should call an ambulance?
46:01No.
46:02No.
46:03I've come to see the musical.
46:05It's just that I'm not used to going out these days.
46:08People and crowds makes it harder to breathe.
46:11It'll pass.
46:14Girls, will you go back inside with Carla?
46:17And thanks.
46:23Look, are you sure it's a good idea to go in?
46:26I mean, if you're not good with crowds, it might-
46:28It's what I've come for.
46:29It's important.
46:31Maybe.
46:32Maybe I could go in with you.
46:34Yeah.
46:35It'd be a pleasure.
46:35And we said it's-
46:37Flare, love.
46:38Flare, butcher.
46:41And when you feel like all that pressure's coming down on you
46:46There's no use stressing on your own.
46:51Just remember it's the same thing we're all going through.
46:56You don't ever have to walk alone.
47:03I'm coming out.
47:07Won't you come on in?
47:12I'm coming out.
47:13Make all the changes and right away, we can make it start again.
47:35Make a star, make a star, make a star again.
47:44Make a star, make a star again.
48:01Your audience are waiting for you.
48:13What a triumph for Waterloo Road's brand new music and drama department.
48:19And I hope, one of many enterprising productions.
48:23So let's hear it for the creator and director of Parkside Story, Mr Matt Wilding.
48:29APPLAUSE
48:39Can I let you in on a little secret?
48:42I was a bit uptight today.
48:45LAUGHTER
48:45I know, I hid it well.
48:47I thought...
48:49This group of people, cast and crew, pulled together today
48:55really did me proud.
48:58You know, but more importantly, they...
49:02They did themselves proud.
49:07I'd like to thank the spectacular Steph Haydock.
49:14APPLAUSE
49:21I'd of course like to thank Jasmine Qureshi for her penmanship.
49:28A couple of extra special thank yous to Mika Granger for stepping in as Shannon at the very last minute.
49:35APPLAUSE
49:36And to our backstage wonder, keeping us on track in the face of adversity, Miss Carla Bentham.
49:43Come on, Carla!
49:45APPLAUSE
49:46Woo!
49:53Woo!
49:53Woo!
50:05Fleur!
50:08What are you doing here?
50:09Someone mentioned you might be here.
50:12No, I mean...
50:13What are you doing at the school?
50:14I needed to get out.
50:16You said so yourself.
50:22Grant me, love.
50:24What's happened to all our furniture?
50:31I've gambled it all away.
50:37That flat screen telly we got for your birthday.
50:43Everything.
50:44How much?
50:48Best part of five grand.
50:50And I still owe two.
50:53That's it.
50:54No more, I promise.
50:57It just got out of hand.
51:00Well, it got a grip.
51:03Before I knew it.
51:08Oh, I've let you down.
51:12Badly.
51:12No, you haven't.
51:14Look, I haven't been much help over these last few months.
51:19Being ill.
51:20All the strain I've put on you, it's me who should be saying I'm sorry.
51:23Don't be daft.
51:27Look, we've got a couple of puffets out in the garage.
51:30We'll make do with them now.
51:32And there's that sale at that.
51:34You know, the place where they are.
51:35The perpetual sale.
51:37Look, we'll use some of Aunt Hilde's money.
51:40I know you didn't get your hands on that.
51:43Not for want of trying, believe me.
51:46Oh, we're a right pair, the two of us, aren't we, eh?
51:50But we'll get through this.
52:01You were fantastic, Mika.
52:04Like, word perfect.
52:05Yeah.
52:08Thanks.
52:09You must have felt it up there on stage.
52:12I mean, I didn't imagine it, did I?
52:17I don't believe you.
52:20There's, like, total electricity between us and you know it.
52:24It's called acting.
52:28Come on, Mika.
52:30I'd give anything to get back together with you.
52:33Just give me a break, yeah?
52:37I love you.
52:42What's the point in telling me that now?
52:46It's too late, isn't it?
52:48You want the truth?
52:50I love you too.
52:53I love you too.
52:54Or I did.
52:58But...
52:58I can't undo what you and Chloe did to me.
53:02And neither can you.
53:08So just...
53:10Just leave me alone to get over it, OK?
53:17Well, I was wrong about Grant, then.
53:19Yeah.
53:20He obviously loves her.
53:22Lucky beggars.
53:25Did you enjoy yourselves?
53:26I wish I heard more.
53:28It was grand.
53:29Needless to say, she doesn't get out much.
53:31Well, that's all going to change.
53:33So are a lot of things.
53:35Tom, er...
53:36I'm just...
53:37Listen, er...
53:40About the other matter.
53:41Hey, don't worry about it, mate.
53:43I'll bung the old lady on a credit card.
53:45At least they'll pay out.
53:46Unlike the horses.
53:47I will pay your badge.
53:49I'll tell you right, you will.
53:50Otherwise I'll have your kneecapped.
53:52Hey, Grantley.
53:54Sort the gambling out, mate.
53:59Three big ones.
54:01I was just saying,
54:03maybe we could meet up sometime for a drink as I thought of.
54:05Oh, I don't know about that.
54:07It's early days.
54:08We'll see what the doctor says.
54:10Whatever he says, I'm determined.
54:14Good night.
54:15Good night.
54:15See ya.
54:20Fawesome, eh?
54:23So does that mean we're a twosome?
54:27Erm...
54:28I don't know.
54:29Maybe.
54:30Why?
54:33Why would you like that?
54:36Maybe I would.
54:37Look at it.
54:40Look at her.
54:51Go.
54:52Go.
54:56Go.
54:58Extraordinary.
55:00The figures for bullying and Aspergers are horrendous.
55:02No, not here. I never tolerate bullying, and Nigel must stop.
55:05Good for you.
55:11Well, thank you for an entertaining and enlightening day.
55:14I thought Rockbeck at Waterloo Road had a promising future
55:17when I first read your application.
55:20Now, I'm sure it has.
55:22So are we, Oliver, and you won't regret it.
55:24Thanks, Oliver.
55:26Good to see you again, Nigel.
55:27Eddie, thanks for coming.
55:29Nigel, take care.
55:29Good to see you. Take care.
55:31Nice to see you again.
55:32Bye-bye.
55:38And thank you, Eddie, and I really mean it.
55:40Nah, it's all good if we manage to pull it off.
55:43I just don't want to end up being a salesman instead of a teacher.
55:47It won't happen.
55:48It better not.
55:51Congratulations, Rachel. You did it.
55:54Listen, I'd better get off. I've got an ex-wife and a son to wine and dine.
55:58Thanks to you.
56:07I need another pair of hands.
56:09I don't know.
56:11I don't know.
56:12I don't know.
56:16I don't know.
56:20I don't know.
56:28I don't know.
56:34Girls!
56:48Well?
56:49It's her, all right.
56:51You sure?
56:55I'll never forget her face, and by the look on hers when she saw mine.
57:00Neither does she.
57:48I'll never forget her face, and by the way, you do the same.
57:48You
