00:17Yo, get the music on man, let's start working these moves.
00:32Yeah, well, it's going to be really quick, but I'm freaking down.
00:57Yeah.
00:59Yeah.
00:59Yeah.
01:04Come on.
01:09I can't reach flaming things.
01:11Yeah, let me have a go.
01:14Come on.
01:18Oh, Jane, come here.
01:21Get off me.
01:22Good timing.
01:24I've never seen anything.
01:26You're on the wrong.
01:28Pull that off and get that scrappy little arm in there.
01:31You're breaking into somebody's car.
01:32Yeah, you are.
01:33Put your arm in there.
01:34I'm trying to.
01:35Do you want another smack?
01:36No.
01:37Get him.
01:38Oi.
01:38Get off my head.
01:39Oi.
01:40That's assault.
01:41What I saw was assault.
01:42We're only messing.
01:44Are you all right, Shane?
01:46Yeah.
01:47Why wouldn't he be?
01:48Well, maybe he's one of those kids who doesn't like being bartered about the head.
01:53I saw you do it, Michaela.
01:54No, you never.
01:55Ask him.
01:56I don't need to ask him.
01:58Yeah, you do, cos I didn't hit him and he'll say the same.
02:02Miss, we're only having a laugh.
02:03Don't be Shane.
02:07Shane, wait!
02:09Oh!
02:10You've upset him.
02:11Is that how you get your kicks, is it?
02:13By taking advantage of someone younger and smaller than you?
02:16Well, Mr Clarkson will be having a wee word with you when you get into school.
02:21Well, what's with her?
02:25Oh, what's with her?
02:30God sakes, man!
02:31Arch your back!
02:32I said arch your back, you muppet!
02:34You've got your route inside, then.
02:36Stand back and see how it's done.
02:59You're a good boy, Shane.
03:01Yeah.
03:02I think I'm beginning to like you.
03:05Yeah, I'll take these.
03:06They're yours.
03:23Oh!
03:24Where's Davina?
03:25I didn't recognise her with her clothes on.
03:27Very fully.
03:29Just ignore her to me.
03:36Does Davina keep her scorecard, you know?
03:39You never know where she's gonna pop up next.
03:42Oh!
03:43Look at Lawson's daft four by four.
03:46What's he looking for?
03:47A herd of lions?
03:48Er, pride.
03:50Yeah, ego more like.
03:51It's pathetic.
03:52Spending all that money just to show off.
03:54No, er, pride.
03:56Collective noun.
03:58It's all macho crap.
04:00Er, daffo.
04:03Er, an extension of a certain part of his anatomy, I'd say.
04:06Sorry.
04:07What's that thing you come to school in, Brad?
04:09A skateboard.
04:11Hey!
04:12His burns twice what mine does.
04:13You can't have a go about Lawson's car, then drive one yourself.
04:17Which is why I'm thinking about selling it.
04:19Oh, so someone else can drive it.
04:22God, that is so green.
04:29Bridget, have I missed an email from Stuart Hoardley?
04:31No.
04:32What, still no word from Stuart?
04:34Well, it's a massive project, Eddie.
04:35You know, there's all sorts of things involved.
04:39Like?
04:39I don't know.
04:40I'm not a builder.
04:42Well, he's still going to let us know what's going on.
04:43We don't want to disrupt these kids any more than necessary.
04:46Hasn't he submitted some sort of building check?
04:48Eddie, could you please just stop going on?
04:51I'm sorry.
04:53No one wants this to run smoothly as much as I do.
04:56I'm beginning to have my doubts about this bloke.
04:58I think he might be a bit of a git.
05:01After all the support you've given him, he can't even let you know what the plan is.
05:04Excuse me?
05:05All this support?
05:06Yeah.
05:07You know.
05:08Well, he might not have got this gig if it wasn't for you.
05:10Hang on.
05:10He got this gig because his bid was best.
05:13End of, okay?
05:14Yeah, if you say so.
05:16Right.
05:17Even if I've had to call him a hundred times, I'm going to get an answer out of this man.
05:21Well, it would be Michaela White, wouldn't it?
05:24She's a vicious little madam.
05:26She was really laying into him.
05:27I tried to get to the bottom of it, but Shane just ran off.
05:30Yeah, well, Shane Warwick's no altar boy.
05:32He looked pretty terrified to me.
05:35Right.
05:36Well, thanks, Jas.
05:37Listen, fill out an incident form and I'll sort it from here, okay?
05:40Yeah.
05:40You'll get chapter and verse.
05:43And you know, the sooner we don't have to teach Cretans like her, the better.
05:50Well, why has he missed his start date?
05:52I mean, this is getting farcical.
05:54Doesn't he understand we have to plan around this?
05:56Oh.
05:59Six new messages.
06:01Yeah, they're all from me.
06:03Little matter of a train in school you've been paid to build.
06:06I've been in a meeting all morning.
06:08I've got a subcontractor who's trying to play me off against another developer.
06:12I called his bluff.
06:15Well, cut a long story short, the diggers move in tomorrow.
06:17About time.
06:19That's really great news.
06:20We're very glad.
06:22Good.
06:24Rachel, I'd like to speak to you about a personal matter, if I may.
06:29PHONE RINGS
06:31I'll get back to me day job.
06:37Look.
06:39I'm really not happy about what transpired between the two of us, and I would like to explain why I
06:44did what I did.
06:44Well, why don't you start off with the word blackmail, Stuart?
06:48I understand how you must be feeling given that you think you compromised yourself.
06:52Think?
06:53However, I would like the chance to explain myself.
06:56You can't refuse me dinner.
06:58Can you?
07:08Morning.
07:09Morning.
07:10Coffee?
07:11Er, no thanks.
07:13Yeah, I'd love them.
07:15I finished off my application form last night.
07:18Ah, fantastic.
07:19I see you going for it.
07:20Yeah.
07:22Do you feel like celebrating?
07:24I promised Chloe and Mika supper.
07:27The new pizza place.
07:29Right, okay.
07:31I'd love you to come.
07:33It's just, you know, the girls, it's awkward, innit?
07:36Well, I'll tell you what.
07:37I'll wear a shirt, but I'm right up to my neck just for Mika.
07:44Right.
07:45Say, erm...
07:477.30.
07:48I'll warn the girls.
07:52Sounds positive.
07:53Ish.
07:54Yeah, great.
07:55A night of sharing a date, Bambi.
07:57It's, er, with only the girls.
07:58I'll tell you what, they've got them on a string.
08:00It's enough to put you off kids for life.
08:01Yeah.
08:02I've had my fair share of, er, one girl in particular today.
08:06Who?
08:07Mikaela White.
08:08Alright.
08:09Well, I always try and see the best in the kids,
08:11but that one is a right vicious little cow.
08:13I've pretty much told her that myself this morning.
08:19Bullied?
08:20No way, sir.
08:21We were just having a laugh.
08:22Well, Miss Qureshi says different.
08:24She doesn't know what she's talking about.
08:25Eh, drop the cheeky tone, Shane.
08:27Well, she doesn't.
08:28She went crazy and threw Mikaela against the car.
08:30Miss Qureshi did?
08:31Yeah, she did.
08:33She never even asked any of us what we were doing.
08:36Honest, sir, if I was being bullied, I'd tell you.
08:39Okay, so, the most important thing we've learnt from our interviews?
08:45First impressions.
08:46We make our minds up about people pretty much five seconds after we meet them.
08:50So, what does that tell us?
08:52Paul?
08:56Best taught first, then.
08:58Fast or slow.
09:00It's our manner, our gestures.
09:02You know, the look on her face in those first few moments.
09:07Right, okay.
09:08Bolton, pretend Miss Qureshi is someone you've never met before, okay?
09:12When she walks in the room, show us how you greet her.
09:15What, you mean like I really would?
09:15Yeah, absolutely.
09:25Yes, yes.
09:26You all right?
09:27Have you seen?
09:29No, no, hang on, guys.
09:30That wasn't bad.
09:31It was open, friendly, confident.
09:34Now, pretend this woman was the mother of someone that you're going out with
09:37or someone that you've never met before but you really want to impress.
09:41You'd adapt your style, wouldn't you, make it less excitable, a bit more formal.
09:46Paul?
09:48Go on.
09:56You all right?
09:59Yeah, brief to the point, certainly.
10:02Right, why don't Miss Qureshi and I show you what we mean?
10:04Okay, eye contact.
10:06I look the person I'm meeting in the eye, I extend my hand.
10:09Good morning.
10:10I'm Matt Wilding.
10:11How nice to meet you.
10:12Good morning, Matt.
10:14Firm grasp.
10:15We shake once.
10:16None of this.
10:17Yeah?
10:18All right.
10:19And then we let go.
10:20Right, you want to give it a crack?
10:21Come on.
10:22Come on, let me go.
10:24Michaela, why don't you shake hands with Miss Qureshi?
10:37Mr. Ashie, can I have a word?
10:42What's wrong with him?
10:44I can't see that, sir.
10:48All right, settle down.
10:51Well, I hope you don't believe him.
10:53No.
10:54But he did say you saw you throw her against the car.
10:56I had to drag her off him.
10:58She was beating him up.
10:59Everybody knows Michaela's a bully.
11:01It's a good job I didn't slap her one.
11:04Look, is there any way it could have just been kids messing about?
11:07She was forcing his arm to the car window and smacking him around the head.
11:12I thought we took bullying seriously in this place.
11:15Of course we take it seriously.
11:17It's just that Shane's pretty sure that they were just having a laugh.
11:20No.
11:20It was bullying.
11:22Pure and simple.
11:23I'm not doubting you.
11:24It's just with the likes of Michaela and Shane, what am I supposed to do?
11:28I'm going to have a word with Michaela.
11:29I just wanted to touch base with you before I did.
11:33Well, I'll go and get her.
11:34I can't even bear to look at her.
11:44Morning, Mr Hoardley.
11:46Stuart.
11:47Actually, I'm a bit late.
11:49I've been up half the night making phone calls.
11:51You know, trying to raise funds for the school from kindly benefactors.
11:55Oh, of course, yeah.
11:56Anyway, looks like I've got myself one in the flesh now.
12:00Oh, come on.
12:02It's no secret that you're not short of a bub or two.
12:04Well, OK.
12:05Hey, don't be embarrassed about it.
12:06You should be very proud of yourself.
12:08You know, what you've achieved.
12:10Why do I get the feeling this is leading somewhere?
12:12We're looking for rich folk like yourself to donate funds to Waterloo Road School.
12:19By way of a cheque.
12:22I'm sorry, I don't have my cheque with me today.
12:24Well, as it's you, then a simple promise will suffice.
12:27What can I put you down for?
12:31Let's say...
12:32A thousand pounds?
12:35Come on.
12:37It's probably not even your weekly entertainment bill.
12:40Hardly.
12:41Listen, you are Miss Mason's favourite businessman.
12:45And I can assure you that she would be very grateful.
12:50Oh, well, in that case, let's make it two thousand.
12:53I'm just repaying Miss Mason's generosity.
13:01Funny how great minds think alike.
13:06Well, you wanted to see me and I wanted to see you.
13:11Yes.
13:11Well, here we are.
13:14You go first, then.
13:16Um...
13:17Well, as you know, I'm a keen observer of staff movements
13:20and, er, I can see that, er, certain members of staff
13:25have had their roles in hand.
13:27Steph Haydott, for one.
13:28Um...
13:29Hmm.
13:30And, er...
13:32I...
13:34Just...
13:34Well, I can see the way that you're taking the school.
13:38And a certain amount of fluctuation is part and parcel
13:42of any dynamic organisation.
13:48Well, have you got any... anything specific in mind?
13:52Well, I just thought that, as a senior member of staff,
13:56there might be an opportunity for me to contribute
14:00to the development of the school.
14:03Granted, that is really great to hear.
14:06And it's quite a coincidence, because that's exactly why
14:09I wanted to see you.
14:10Come.
14:11Come sit down.
14:12Come on.
14:17Now, a little bird told me that you have got a hidden talent.
14:24And I want you to share it with the Lessons For Life group.
14:28We want you to teach them ballroom dancing.
14:32How did you find out?
14:33Well...
14:33You can't be serious, no.
14:35Ballroom dancing?
14:36To that lot?
14:37Is P.E. and history rolled into one?
14:39Oh, and how does that compare to Madame Haydott's appointment
14:42as financials are?
14:45It doesn't.
14:46No, thank you.
14:47I'll stick to being Head of English.
14:48Yeah, well, that is on my to-do list.
14:51We're looking at staff restructuring in the next few months.
14:53The present structure doesn't fulfil its purpose at all.
14:57Lesson six, Grantley.
15:00But, sir, she just went mental.
15:02She threw me against the car.
15:03Yeah?
15:03Because you provoked her?
15:05That's crap.
15:06Ask Sash and Andrews.
15:07They'll tell you what happened.
15:08Well, you're mates, aren't they?
15:09So they're gonna say what you tell them?
15:10It's bang out of order, sir.
15:11I'm not lying.
15:12Ask Shane.
15:13He'll tell you what she did.
15:19You might wanna wipe those tears.
15:22And that innocent smirk on your face.
15:25Now get.
15:27Let me deal with this.
15:34Hi, Bridget.
15:35Can you put me through to Rachel, please?
15:40Sir, er, this fraction, the decimal equivalent is 1.52 to three significant figures.
15:47And?
15:48Well, that's just it.
15:49It's outrageous.
15:52Just another one of your irritating wind-ups, Brett.
15:55The numerator is the CO2 emissions from your car in kilos per year.
16:01The denominator is the average household emissions over the same period.
16:05Your car emits 1.52 times as much as the average UK household.
16:12Can we discuss this another time, please?
16:15Do you know there's not one teacher here who comes to school on a bike?
16:17Yeah, because if they did, they'd get nicked.
16:20Anyway, you're a fine one to talk, jeep boy.
16:23Point taken.
16:24But my car comes off the road today.
16:27Forever.
16:28What about you?
16:35Out.
16:46Tom, I think you did exactly the right thing.
16:49Well, why didn't you let me have a word with her?
16:52I'm sure she was overreacting.
16:54Tom, gotta go.
16:56Yeah.
16:57Who's done what to you?
16:59Cocky little sod.
17:00Showing off to Mika Granger.
17:02Brett Aspinall.
17:03Ambushed me about me car.
17:05Why am I driving a planet boiler when I could be flogging round on a push bike?
17:09Well, that's the trouble we're teaching.
17:10We give them a set of values and before we know it, they're making us live by them.
17:13You're next on the list, believe me.
17:15Oh.
17:15The new build.
17:16Make sure it's a green paragon or they'll have you.
17:20That's £2,000 in the kitty.
17:22Thanks to Stuart Hoardley.
17:24£2,000?
17:25That's very generous.
17:26Well, I had to work me magic on him, of course, but that's what you'd expect from a finance director.
17:30Even one who doesn't have her own office.
17:32Who so far has cost more than she's made.
17:34It takes a little time to make contacts, Rachel.
17:37Talking of which, any word from Claude?
17:40Oh, that's why I'm so bleary-eyed.
17:42I was on the phone to him last night for over an hour.
17:45So, if we get a penny for every minute you spend talking to him, we could double everybody's wages.
17:50I can't raise money for these capital projects of yours without speaking to people.
17:58Well, well, well.
18:00Mr Hoardley seems like he's a man out to impress.
18:04And your point is?
18:06Well, what you're saying?
18:09Well, he might have a bit of a thing for you.
18:12No, he doesn't.
18:14Well, he might have a bit of a...
18:15Don't even go there.
18:29Uh, carry on.
18:32Hi.
18:33Well, what does she say?
18:35Rachel.
18:35Has she spoken to you?
18:37No, Michaela.
18:38Right.
18:39Yeah.
18:39Um, look.
18:41She's sticking to her story.
18:42I don't think we're getting anywhere here.
18:43Well, have you spoke to Sasha and Angie?
18:45No.
18:46I've mentioned it to Rachel.
18:47She might want a word with you.
18:49I just think you might be making a mountain out of them all, Ellie.
18:52I mean, don't panic.
19:11I hear you're contributing to our lessons for life skiing.
19:14In a way that doesn't include racing tips.
19:16I might have known you'd be behind this madness.
19:20Something of an expert, I'm told.
19:22I'm doing it as a favour.
19:24A one-off.
19:25God knows where she got the idea from.
19:27Well, it pushes all the right buttons for our lessons for life, kids.
19:30Poise, discipline, etiquette.
19:33All those key qualities we see in you, Grantley, in such abundance.
19:37I'm way too rusty to be teaching anybody ballroom dancing techniques.
19:42Then buy a tin of Brasso.
19:44See you less than six.
19:47I need a partner.
19:50Then find one.
19:53I just can't believe she's going to get off with a scot-free.
19:56She's a thug and she should be excluded permanently.
19:59Yeah, we know that.
20:00But unfortunately, we can't accuse the girl without evidence.
20:03I flamin' saw it.
20:06Oh, you don't believe me either, do you?
20:08I believe that you reacted to something you saw, or you thought you saw.
20:12But maybe next time, you know, just think before you barge in.
20:16I did what anybody else would have done.
20:19Yes, but you're not anybody else, are you?
20:21You're a teacher.
20:22And you learn with experience.
20:24You know, sometimes it's better to take a step back.
20:27Oh, so now it's all my fault.
20:29Don't go getting so defensive.
20:32No, just think about this.
20:34You know, maybe your actions have given Michaela the chance she needs
20:37to back up her story.
20:39Oh, I'm sick of this.
20:45Sheen!
20:50Can I have a quick call with Sheen, please?
20:52Are you alright?
20:54Yeah, fine.
20:55Sheen!
20:56Come here.
21:00What's he done?
21:07Why didn't you tell Mr Clarkson the truth?
21:09I did!
21:09Are they threatening you, Sheen?
21:11Well, what is it?
21:13Nothing!
21:13So you tell Mr Clarkson it was all a big joke.
21:16Yeah, it was.
21:18She was beating you around the head and nearly breaking your arm.
21:22Remember that?
21:37It's getting junked.
21:40I see you really are serious.
21:42You persuaded me.
21:44Yeah?
21:45Quit my conscience.
21:46It's getting junked.
21:46Hmm.
21:47So you have got one then?
21:49Proof?
21:51Could have got five grand for that.
21:53Yeah.
21:54But it is better to have principles and no money than money and no principles.
22:01I want Lawson to see this.
22:03I want Lawson to do the same thing.
22:06Although he might take a bit more persuading.
22:24Miss!
22:27Shane says to say hello.
22:33You might have fooled everyone else but you haven't fooled me.
22:37You're a coward and a liar.
22:39And you two choose to hang her in with us.
22:48She's definitely got in for you.
22:53Swing a punch at me.
22:54Eh?
22:55Don't talk daft.
22:56I mean it.
22:57Do it!
23:05You both saw Qureshi punish me, didn't you?
23:14You got a minute?
23:16Sure.
23:21I've just had a huge vote of confidence from Rachel about the way I dealt with Michaela White this morning.
23:27Thanks for all your support.
23:28Just, just let it go.
23:29Let it go?
23:30What did you say to Rachel?
23:32Let me guess.
23:33Did you use the words overreaction and inexperienced by any chance?
23:36No, no.
23:37All I said was we can't prove anything.
23:39Look, I told you Michaela's a slippery customer.
23:41It's not a reflection on you.
23:42I believe you.
23:44I've just seen the spiteful wee cow now, winding me right up.
23:47Look, don't let her get to you.
23:49Okay?
23:50Look, she's a wrong then.
23:52Simple as that.
23:53A wrong?
23:54What do you mean?
23:54That sounds like a compliment.
23:57He'd debon me, I like.
23:59Uh, I need an interpreter now.
24:02Come on.
24:03Let me get you a cup of tea.
24:05I'm sorry, girls.
24:06It's just too easy to accuse teachers of assault.
24:10Must be some explanation.
24:11Yeah, Qureshi punched me one.
24:13Well, obviously I don't know that.
24:15Can you believe this?
24:17These are like a gang or something sticking up for each other.
24:20What do you think this is?
24:22Paint?
24:22I can see what it is.
24:23Well, maybe I should just go straight to the police then.
24:25I did not say that there wasn't going to be an investigation.
24:28Yeah, well, there better be.
24:29Qureshi should be sacked for what she did to me.
24:31Any more cheek from you and you're going to the cooler.
24:34So I get punished for getting hit?
24:36Right, you two girls, back to class.
24:38You, Michaela, you wait here.
24:41Can I have some water, please, miss?
24:48No way.
24:49Somebody must have told her about my misspent you.
24:52Wasn't you, was it?
24:54No!
24:55Look, why don't you go and ask one of the other women?
24:58No.
24:59No, they don't have your elegance.
25:02Your, er...
25:04Your je ne sais quoi.
25:06My brass neck, you mean.
25:08Last year's Friends of Waterloo wrote dinner dance.
25:12Didn't I see you tearing up the dance floor with some young chap who'd made it big in IT?
25:19Oh, yeah.
25:21As I recall, we were rather good together.
25:24Hmm.
25:25Repeat the performance with me.
25:29What music are you using?
25:33I don't believe it.
25:35Jasmine hasn't got it in her to assault a pupil.
25:37Well, Shane Watts' name says she threw Michaela up against a car, right?
25:42Maybe I shouldn't say anything.
25:44I know it was just a throwaway remark, but...
25:47Tom, I need to know all the facts.
25:51Jasmine did say that she could slap Michaela on.
25:54Join the queue, so could I.
25:55Well, I saw for myself how angry Jasmine was.
25:58Look, we need to investigate this formally.
26:00Get some written statements from Michaela and the little gang.
26:02I'll get them to tell the truth.
26:03You will play it by the book.
26:05They're setting her up.
26:07We need to be seen to be fairer than fair on this.
26:09It is the best way to protect Jasmine.
26:11Tom, I want you to re-interview Shane, yeah?
26:14We've got to know that Jasmine saw what she claims she saw.
26:17Right.
26:19Offering money.
26:20Eddie!
26:22And I guess I will call the parents.
26:25Oh, I expect they're upstanding members of the community just like their daughter.
26:40You're pushing your luck here, matey.
26:42Stephanie, if we are going to perform in front of the knuckle-draggers, let's at least make sure we don't
26:47fall on a...
26:49Ah.
26:52One, two, three, one, two, three, one, two, three.
26:57Step right to shadow, close forward, step right, step back, and foot change.
27:03Twinkle to flip-flop position.
27:05Twinkle to what?
27:06Oh, look, it's a Viennese Watts variation.
27:08Oh, they're crying out loud.
27:09Why can't we just do that slow, slow, quick, quick, slow thing?
27:13Oh, that quick, quick, slow thing is a rhythm.
27:16It's a system.
27:17It is not a dance.
27:20Okay, basic Viennese.
27:24What now?
27:26Oh, this had better not be for me.
27:31Yes.
27:36Heavy flaming time.
27:38We'll reconvene at lunchtime.
27:41Oh, I can hardly wait.
27:46Sorry to interrupt the fun and games, but I've been given the dubious pleasure of covering your class.
27:57Miss Mason wants you in her office.
28:03Why? What does she need me for?
28:13Shh.
28:15Just one question, Jasmine.
28:17After we spoke this morning, did you confront Michaela White?
28:22Oh, I didn't.
28:23I didn't go looking for her, if that's what you mean.
28:25But you found her.
28:26Well, she was provoking me.
28:27So I just said what I thought.
28:29I know it was stupid.
28:30Look, I'm sorry.
28:31I'm sorry, it's way too late for regrets.
28:33Michaela's accusing you of assault.
28:35No way.
28:37There's no way I assaulted her.
28:39I cannot begin to tell you how serious this is, Jasmine.
28:41Oh, Rachel, please.
28:43You've got to believe me.
28:44It doesn't matter what I believe.
28:45The girl's got a cut on her face.
28:47What?
28:47Yes, and two witnesses to say they saw you hit her.
28:50Oh, she's lying.
28:52Her mates are lying.
28:54I advise you to talk to your union rep as soon as possible about this.
28:59Michaela's dad's coming to see me.
29:01We're going to have to institute formal proceedings, Jasmine.
29:04And so what's going to happen with me?
29:05Well, I hope if you're telling me the truth...
29:08I don't want to lose you.
29:10And I hope to goodness that that doesn't happen.
29:13But you have to understand, striking a child is gross professional misconduct.
29:17But I didn't hit her!
29:22Tread carefully, you lot.
29:25Because if you're in the business of having it in for Miss Qureshi...
29:29Trust me.
29:31We'll find out.
29:35In case you don't know, providing false statements is not only wrong...
29:39It's a criminal act.
29:44Well...
29:46You want us to tell the truth or not, sir?
29:52Back to your class.
30:11All for having a laugh?
30:12What are you going to do, Dad?
30:14Get her jailed.
30:15Mr White, I presume.
30:17That's right.
30:18Dad of the assaulted girl.
30:20Alleged assaulted girl.
30:22So need to be in class.
30:26You haven't been to the school before, have you, Mr White?
30:28All right.
30:28I'll take you to the head teacher's office.
30:40Oh, no, no, no, no, no!
30:42Look!
30:43When that left toe hits the floor, you should be backing straight down the line of dance.
30:48Don't suddenly drop your heel like that!
30:50I'll drop you in a minute!
30:52That is it!
30:53Find yourself another partner.
30:55I'm off for a butty.
30:56No, Steph.
30:56No, no, no, no, no.
30:57Look, you're doing great.
30:59You've got the natural turn off to a T.
31:01And it's a tricky dance to master.
31:04Hey, I'm impressed.
31:06Honestly.
31:07Then why are we teaching it to the likes of Bolt and Smiley and Michaela Flamin' White?
31:12Look, let's get the reverse turn sorted.
31:15Right?
31:16Now, it's a mirror image of the natural turn with the right interchanged with the left.
31:23See the big difference there?
31:24It was on the third step.
31:36Hi.
31:38Have you thought about how you're going to get into school and how you don't have a car?
31:41Er...
31:42Walk?
31:42Cycle?
31:45I quite fun to cycling, if you wanted some company.
31:48You mean you wouldn't try and run me off the road?
31:50God knows what my bike's like.
31:52I've not been on it for years.
31:53It probably means repairing us.
31:54Well, I could take a look at it if you like.
31:57Come round after school.
31:59Yeah.
32:00Why not?
32:05Oh, yeah.
32:06Would say that, wouldn't they?
32:08They're best friends.
32:10No, they're not.
32:11That's not what Michaela's about.
32:13Well, whatever they are, don't worry.
32:16Even today, with the whole establishment against the teaching profession,
32:21it's still relatively hard to sack a teacher.
32:23But Rachel said if they can prove it, she's going to get rid of me.
32:26Yeah, well, she'd be daft.
32:28You're one of the best teachers this school's got.
32:31I wouldn't send my kids to a school where the teachers hit their pupils.
32:35Wouldn't you?
32:36Why do you think we're in the state we're in, there's not enough hitting?
32:39Well, that attitude from her union rep's really going to help.
32:44You don't think I did it, do you, Tom?
32:49You do, don't you?
32:50Well, go on and spit it out. Everybody else does.
32:53No, of course he doesn't.
32:54Look, I'm not going to pretend it's going to be easy for you.
32:58I talked to Shane again, he's sticking to his guns.
33:01I'm sorry.
33:03And if the worst comes to the worst, we'll claim it was an accident.
33:07No, I'm not lying.
33:09Just let me do the talking.
33:11I don't want you incriminating yourself.
33:14Well, I hope you're going to sack her.
33:16Well, not until we find out exactly what happened.
33:18Have you seen my daughter's face? What do you think happened? Did she punch herself?
33:22She might have done.
33:24I'm not putting up with this. I'm going to get the police.
33:26Oh, hang on. I don't think it's in anyone's interest to involve the police.
33:30It is if I get justice for my daughter.
33:32Don't the police already know about your daughter, Mr White?
33:34I'm just as shocked about this as you are.
33:36I've already told the teacher herself.
33:38If it's true, she has no future at Waterloo Road.
33:41Mr Lawson's collecting written statements from your daughter and from her friends,
33:44and we're interviewing Ms Qureshi directly after this.
33:46It seems obvious to me she's done it.
33:48That's what they said about the Birmingham Six.
33:49I don't like your attitude, mate.
33:51Well, luckily I'm conducting this investigation,
33:53and I promise you that I will get to the truth of what happened.
33:57and...
33:59you better.
34:09Have a reading of these.
34:28Sit down, Jasmine.
34:32This won't take long.
34:33Naturally, we deny all the trumped-up allegations that the little scallywags brought.
34:41This is all a load of rubbish.
34:44But they have all said exactly the same thing.
34:47Exactly is the right word.
34:50She threw O-U-G-H.
34:55Through her...
34:56God help us, they've even spelt the same words wrong.
35:01She threw her arm right back and battered me.
35:06Battered Michaela.
35:08Oh, look.
35:10All three, exactly the same words, exactly the same construction.
35:13But there aren't too many ways to describe what happened.
35:16Nothing happened.
35:19They all chose battered. Why?
35:22Because they collaborated on it.
35:24Exactly.
35:27Constructing a little lie to ruin a teacher's career is almost a sport for them.
35:33I certainly wouldn't put it past them.
35:35Nor would I.
35:36Can't we look into this?
35:38Get them on their own, put the pressure on, they'll soon crack.
35:40No, we can't, Eddie. We won't do that.
35:43Look, we operate in a world, as you all know, where teacher's word equals the pitfalls.
35:48Mmm. And we're paying the price for that every single working day.
35:53Oh, much as I don't like it myself, Granny, that is the way it is.
35:56Only we have got three pupils' words.
35:59I'm sure they wrote this all together, but unfortunately, to the outside world, it's a significant indictment.
36:10She deserves to get chucked out anyway after what she said to me.
36:14Call on your scum and everything.
36:16Yeah, she is a cow, and I hate her.
36:19But she looked dead scared.
36:21Suppose she does lose her job over this, it's gonna be our fault.
36:25She's a stupid school teacher.
36:28There's millions of schools she can go to, most of them, nicer than this.
36:31Suppose they find out.
36:33What?!
36:34That we've been lying our faces off!
36:36Well, the only way they're gonna find out is if you tell them.
36:38And you know what'll happen if you do.
36:44Jasmine, erm...
36:46I'm suspending you, with immediate effect.
36:51The, erm, terms of the suspension are explained fully in here.
37:01They require you to leave the premises and not to return until instructed to do so by me.
37:05And you remain on full pay.
37:09This is the last thing I thought I'd be doing.
37:12Well, don't do it.
37:13It sends out all the wrong signals to them out there.
37:18It's the worst day of my life.
37:20You know, I can't believe I'm being punished for something I didn't do.
37:23It's not about being found guilty.
37:25No one in this room thinks you are.
37:28It's only a week.
37:29Just so that we can investigate this properly.
37:32Why that little gang of thugs isn't suspended too is beyond me.
37:39I have to agree with Grantley.
37:41Jasmine, this is a neutral position, you know.
37:43It's a way of defusing the situation.
37:46I know you must be feeling absolutely gutted, and I am really sorry.
37:50You're a very promising teacher.
38:04It's procedure.
38:06It's a complete farce.
38:12I've got to sort out a lesson plan for tomorrow.
38:14Just leave it, Jasmine. Grantley will do it.
38:16My year 9's are watching a DVD, and I've got to set it up.
38:19We'll sort it.
38:20Nothing to worry about.
38:22As clear a case of false accusation as I've heard.
38:26I've got to go.
38:28I'll see you out.
38:30No, look, I'll be fine.
38:31Look, at least let me take you for a drink tonight.
38:34You're going to need one.
38:35Look, I don't want to take up any more of your time, Eddie.
38:37Don't be daft. We need to talk about how to deal with all this.
38:41Yeah, okay. That'll be great.
38:43Right.
38:47Poor kid.
38:49Right.
38:51Time for you to change hats, I guess.
38:56From the ridiculous to the downright bizarre.
39:06Oh!
39:06Oh, Jazz, I can't believe this.
39:09It's true.
39:11Oh, God, I'm coming.
39:19What's up there, guys?
39:27What are they doing here?
39:29Mr Lawson wants a little more structure to your dancing.
39:33Structure?
39:34What are you on about?
39:35Here we go, Matt.
39:39What the hell is she doing?
39:42Strictly ballroom.
39:43As in the telly?
39:44Yeah.
39:45Mr Budgin was a champion.
39:48Was.
39:49You're having a giraffe, sir.
39:51And I can assure you, if I hadn't been forced into this, I wouldn't be here.
39:57Okay, then.
40:04The basic steps are very simple.
40:08Waltz time is three beats to the bar.
40:12One, two, three, one, two.
40:15And then for the ladies, it's just the opposite, okay?
40:18So it's back on the left.
40:20And...
40:21One, two, three.
40:23One, two, three.
40:25The Waltz relies on 250 years of history.
40:31And unlike the break dance, it's a dance of communication.
40:39Two people interpreting the same music.
40:44Expressing their feelings to it.
40:46Body to body.
40:49Face to face.
40:51Soul to soul.
40:55You mean as in coming over for a date?
40:58Actually.
40:59And don't laugh.
41:01We're gonna try and do up Mum's bike.
41:04Well, romantic.
41:08Are you gonna try and give Brett a second chance?
41:12Let's see how much he wants it first.
41:16Come on.
41:18There might be hope for you and Dante in all right.
41:21Come on, everyone.
41:22Round of applause.
41:28Well, we'll let you get on with writhing around the floor on your backs.
41:32Break dancing.
41:33Big dancing, my eye.
41:35It's well proper dancing.
41:36Not like that easy stuff yous have done.
41:39One, two, three.
41:41One, two, three.
41:42Soul minging.
41:43Well, I think maybe the technical aspects are a little lost on you.
41:47After all, it's only 250 years of history.
41:50Oh, yeah.
41:51Break dancing's got loads of history as well.
41:52It's from New York.
41:54The Bronx.
41:55It was the DJs on street corners in the 70s that started it all off.
41:58I've done loads of research over the internet about it.
42:011970s.
42:02Bolton, I think what Mr Budge is trying to say is that it's not proper dancing.
42:08No way, man.
42:09For real, sir, there's loads of moves as head spin, backslide, sixth step.
42:14Bet you couldn't do one single break dance move.
42:17And you can do it to anything, sir.
42:19You can even do it to that load of pants.
42:21But, if you're done for a while.
42:22What about once, sirs?
42:23You are a good friend.
42:30Hey.
42:32Hey.
42:39Hey.
42:40Hey.
42:41Hey.
42:42Hey.
42:44Hey.
42:45Hey.
42:52OK, then, Mr. Budgett, let's see you do some of that.
42:58Well, no, I think you'll find that with all forms of modern music,
43:03the roots go back a lot further than 1970.
43:08I mean, breakdancing of sorts has been around for a lot longer than the waltz.
43:14Track five, please.
43:51Oh, my God.
44:42Well, I've done it all by the book, according to the LEA.
44:45Yeah, and if it goes against her, that's it. End of career.
44:50Our dinner arrangement?
44:53Yeah, I wasn't expecting you quite so early.
44:55I thought you might have a couple of drinks first,
44:56and I know your teachers don't like to be out too late midweek.
44:59Must be really nice having someone look after you so well.
45:02Yeah, we're going through plans for the new construction.
45:04You're welcome to join us if you want.
45:06I've made other arrangements.
45:07Actually, Eddie, it'd be really great to get your view.
45:10But if you're too busy, then maybe you could put some ideas down in writing for me.
45:14I'll do that.
45:20Thank God he didn't accept my invitation.
45:22We're dining at the Langford.
45:23I thought I might choose somewhere quiet where we can talk.
45:26Well, I know you can afford it,
45:27given your generous contribution to the school funds.
45:29It's an investment in Waterloo Road and its young people.
45:43Oh, I'm so sorry, Tom.
45:45I completely forgot about the pizza.
45:47Brett's coming round tonight.
45:48Brett?
45:50Yeah, I don't believe in anything into it.
45:53Well, that's good news.
45:56And what you were going to say wasn't anything to do with Davina joining us, was it?
46:03She kind of manoeuvred me into it.
46:06So, what?
46:08You don't want her to come?
46:13Tom, stop worrying about what we think all the time.
46:17What you've done for us, well, it's just brilliant.
46:22And no, I won't be coming tonight.
46:25You two should spend some time together.
46:27On your own.
46:28No.
46:29I'm not having that.
46:30I want you there.
46:31I mean it.
46:33I want you to get to know her.
46:34I want you to get to know her.
47:04I want you to get to know her.
47:38Oh, come on, Steph.
47:41Yes, it's a competition, but it's a great way of keeping fit.
47:45And I'm telling you, in three weeks, you'd have legs like steel rods.
47:49Grantley, I am not covering my legs in creosote and flashing me knickers, so forget it.
47:53That's Latin. This would be proper ballroom.
47:56You've got all the attributes, the deportments.
47:59How long have you known me, Grantley?
48:01You know I don't respond to flattery.
48:02Yeah, it's in two months, and Fleur's organising the over-45 section.
48:07Come on, we walk it.
48:09Over-45?
48:11Mwah!
48:13Get stuffed, Grantley.
48:17First prize is a ten-minute supermarket trolley dash.
48:22Free entry.
48:27Dump pile of crap. Buy a new one.
48:32Too much money, I'm sure, probably.
48:35Oh, go on. A pair of his and hers matching mountain bikes.
48:38No!
48:39I suppose you've been learning how to fix things.
48:42Sorry.
48:46What?
48:49Nothing.
48:53It's just...
48:56Well, then, how do we get this chain off?
49:04It's good food, huh?
49:10Look, Rachel, I'm not trying to justify what I did.
49:13No.
49:15Okay, maybe I am.
49:17The truth is, I don't like myself very much for what happened.
49:22Perhaps I am trying to find some kind of absolution.
49:24I don't know.
49:27And the blackmail, huh?
49:28Do we forget about that?
49:29Did that never happen?
49:31I wouldn't have done it if I didn't have to.
49:32I just needed to know that my bid was on the table.
49:36Look, I'll destroy any evidence that Tess has.
49:38No, better still, I'll give it to you.
49:39I just need you to understand.
49:44You know what?
49:45I'd rather give the job up.
49:48I mean it.
49:49Just say the word.
49:51Okay.
49:53Okay, that's what we'll do.
49:55I'll get in touch with Mr Philby.
49:57Tell him there's been a question raised regarding the procurement procedure.
50:00Set us back about six months, we can cope with that.
50:04We need that facility up and running by next year.
50:06I'm aware of that.
50:08I just really wish everything had been done in the proper way.
50:13What I did at that bidding meeting, it put me on a par with you.
50:15You had valuable information and you used it.
50:18You didn't seek it out.
50:19You didn't blackmail anyone.
50:21Philby made the final decision, not you.
50:35Hiya.
50:36Hiya.
50:37Come in.
50:38Just got food.
50:42Hiya.
50:43Hiya, Clare.
50:45Right.
50:45A slight change of plan.
50:48The spicy meatball is fantastic.
50:51All right.
50:53It's your idea.
50:54No.
50:55No, it was Mika's, wasn't it, Phil?
51:00So what?
51:01We stay in and she goes out?
51:02No.
51:04Mika!
51:05Come and choose a pizza!
51:07She's in the kitchen with Brett.
51:09They've gone all green.
51:10She's, er, fixing up Izzy's old bike.
51:14Sorry.
51:14That was a bit rude of me.
51:16No, it wasn't.
51:17Don't worry about it.
51:19You can know she's just being stupid.
51:25So how's Jasmine?
51:28Not good.
51:29Saw around school that she smacked Mikaela White one.
51:32Yeah, so says Mikaela.
51:33Well, she didn't.
51:35Everyone was like,
51:35go on, Miss Koresh, you give her a Glasgow kiss and all.
51:42Hi.
51:43Hi.
51:45Right.
51:46What are you having?
51:55Jasmine, Eddie.
51:56If you're not here in half an hour,
51:58I'm coming to get you.
52:05Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
52:06Easy on that, you.
52:07You're not driving anywhere tonight, are you?
52:09No, but I am tomorrow.
52:10Yeah, well,
52:11we'll be walking everywhere if Mika gets away.
52:14Which she usually does.
52:16Maybe, um,
52:17she still won't get a pair of hiking boots.
52:20Please tell me
52:21you're not going to let her persuade you
52:22to dump your car.
52:23How do we get to school?
52:26On bikes.
52:28Oh, no, I don't want the girls on bikes.
52:29People get knocked off them.
52:31Right.
52:32I'm going up.
52:34See you later, yeah?
52:38Oh, and don't be too late.
52:40We've got school in the morning.
52:42Night, miss.
52:43Night.
52:44Are those two still fixing that wreck of a bike?
52:49One down, eh?
52:51No.
52:52It's not as simple as that.
52:56Tom,
52:57as long as it takes.
52:58Yes.
53:08Right.
53:09Back to cleaning the rust off these mud guards.
53:11I'll get the steel wool.
53:12If you could find a spanner
53:13to, er,
53:14take those nuts off.
53:22Brett.
53:24Why are you here?
53:27To save the planet.
53:31It's only taking a part.
53:32Find out what's clogging up the ring.
53:35But, er,
53:36I'll give it a couple of months
53:37of weekends and after schools
53:38and you should have it back on the road.
53:41Or you could just let me buy you a new one.
53:45Secondhand, if you like.
53:50To show you how fantastic I think you are.
53:53How much I love you and
53:56how sorry I am I hurt you.
54:04How can I make you believe me?
54:09Your commitment.
54:11I suppose.
54:13You know you've got it.
54:17Good.
54:20So,
54:21we start cycling and walking everywhere
54:22and then as soon as we come
54:24we're going to take out Lawson's
54:25four by four.
54:28I took the liberty.
54:3020-year-old Almanac.
54:36Stuart, I mean this.
54:38You have got to be on site
54:40first thing tomorrow morning.
54:42My credibility's on the line.
54:46Good food.
54:48Good wine.
54:49Good company.
54:52Open and honest business practices.
55:02Jasmine.
55:03I've been waiting near ages.
55:05I'm sorry.
55:07I've got you one of each
55:07just in case.
55:10Looked like you could do
55:10with both of them.
55:12I'm never going to get over this.
55:14Have you told your mum and dad yet?
55:15Are you kidding?
55:17They'd die.
55:19I'm going to resign, Eddie.
55:21Oh, come on.
55:23No.
55:23I've been going over and over
55:25this in my head
55:25and no matter how I look at it
55:27they're going to find me guilty.
55:28Don't give up.
55:29None of the rest of us have.
55:31But you don't know what I know.
55:35The truth is
55:36I did overreact.
55:39I ran at them like a lunatic
55:41when I saw what they were doing to Shane.
55:43Something inside me just flipped.
55:46I knew what he was going through.
55:49Oh, I see.
55:50You were bullied at school.
55:53The opposite.
55:55I was a bully.
55:56Well, part of the bullies gang
55:58like Angie and Sasha.
56:00Terrified to be bullied
56:01and just so grateful not to be.
56:04You know, we made a girl's trip
56:07to hide her to a tree
56:09and she was begging
56:10and sobbing for us to stop.
56:12Shame in hell.
56:14See, this is how I know
56:15that none of them are going to crack
56:17because then I'd have to face Michaela White
56:20and that's never going to happen.
57:00You
