00:00Do you know that modeling agency that's been messaging, sure, right?
00:02Got her a job.
00:04Who's your mate?
00:05Eyes on me, thanks.
00:06How much happier have you been since that selfish cow dumped you?
00:10Yeah, but why would you want to be with someone who annoys you half the time?
00:13I wouldn't.
00:14I think we should just call things.
00:15Fine.
00:16Maybe if you've got a decent job, you could afford a roof over your own head.
00:19I just had a temporary cash flow problem and I stayed a few nights.
00:23You're homeless!
00:24Actually, things might not be so tight.
00:26I'm getting some inheritance.
00:27What, when did this happen?
00:29A few weeks ago.
00:30It's from my auntie.
00:31There will be something there for a deposit.
00:32We might use some of our unallocated funds.
00:36Sorry, which funds?
00:37The inclusion unit money.
00:38No, she's given my budget away.
00:39Clearly doesn't trust me with anything.
00:41I need it off my back.
00:42What's that?
00:43Thank God.
00:47Oh, good.
00:48I'm sorry.
00:51I could hold for here.
01:28Oh, my God.
01:29So funny.
01:31Absolute genius whip.
01:33Shut up, Forrest.
01:34Funnyer than you'll ever be.
01:37Cons are there for a reason, aren't they?
01:39Put it back, please.
01:42And what are you doing on duty, sir?
01:45I thought you had to spot up for your meeting.
01:48It's important for school leaders to be seen.
01:50You mean the heads off, and it's important that you're seen in her place.
01:55Ouch.
01:56What are you lying, yeah?
01:58Well, listen, I know you've got Serena Michelle coming in, but you will be finishing time for my scam, won't
02:02you?
02:03Yeah, I wouldn't miss it for the world.
02:04Because then I would be sleeping on the couch for a week, wouldn't I?
02:07Absolutely right, Milo.
02:09See you later.
02:10See you later.
02:11Oh, I have something to tell you, actually.
02:13What?
02:13It's not a big deal.
02:14I spoke to the estate agent and put the deposit down.
02:18What?
02:19On that new build?
02:21Wait, you said that your auntie's inheritance wasn't going for you for months?
02:24I called my dad's solicitor, heard things along.
02:27Oh, my God.
02:27We've got it.
02:29Ah, no way!
02:32I'm so excited.
02:38You have no idea how much I want to do something inappropriate to you right now.
02:42Hold that thought till tonight, please.
02:45See you later.
02:46See you later.
02:47Bye.
02:47Bye.
02:57Here you are.
03:01You won't do too much when I'm gone, will you?
03:04I think I can manage.
03:07I appreciate you trying hard to look after me.
03:09I feel like I'm not that did this to you.
03:10It wasn't just the party, Ben.
03:13Losing my pension, not me for six.
03:15I feel better for the time at home.
03:18You will text me to let me know what the doctor says.
03:20I know what the doctor's going to say.
03:22He's going to say your results are clear and your grandson can stop worrying about you.
03:26You are the world's worst patient, you know.
03:29Go on.
03:30You're late as it is.
03:32See you.
03:42One year already.
03:45Oh, and he's half grown.
03:49Oh, that's the face he makes when he's about to do poo.
03:52Oh, who's that George, aren't you?
03:56He's so cute.
03:58Oh.
04:00How could you tear yourself away?
04:02Are you kidding?
04:03I'm bursting to know what's been going on.
04:05He tells me nothing.
04:06Okay, everyone.
04:08I'm back.
04:10Your supply teacher extraordinaire.
04:12I bet you're all seeing your next Ofsted report improve before your very eyes.
04:18But first, I am looking for a nice strong man to help me put these in the fridge.
04:24And Neil, there you are.
04:26Oh, hello again.
04:28Would you write Steph in bold on there?
04:32Because I don't want anyone thinking that they can have a go at my thick and creamy.
04:38But if you play your cards right, Neil, I might let you have a little dip.
04:42Oh, welcome back, Miss A-Doc.
04:48Mr Charles, I still can't believe you do this for a living.
04:53Yeah, well, it's all thanks to that one influential teacher, Mr Grantley Budgin.
04:58Yeah, well, I'm sure I put you over my knee once or twice back in the day.
05:03And no, Neil, I don't do requests.
05:06Anyway, you might be seeing a lot more of me because I've got an interview for the English department.
05:12I thought you were a French teacher.
05:13I know.
05:14But there's a recruitment crisis, Dante.
05:16If you can read the back of a cornflake packet these days, then you've got the job.
05:21Anyway, who is head of English?
05:22I've heard she's a right drag.
05:25Hi, everyone.
05:27Sorry to say that there's still no update on Stella.
05:30Yeah, she does look like she's going to be off of the foreseeable, so you are stuck with us, I'm
05:34afraid.
05:35I've spoken to the governors and reassured them that we do not need a caretaker head dropping on us.
05:39And I know I can do that because each and every one of you is a brilliant and dedicated educator.
05:43For my part, I'll make sure there's no lapse in behaviour management or discipline.
05:47We just need to carry on the great work Stella's done, okay?
05:49So, let's do it for her.
05:57Is anyone else panicking?
05:59What, you mean because of English?
06:01Yeah, it's only spoken language presentation.
06:03Does it really count?
06:04Well, it's still part of your GCSE result.
06:06It goes on your certificate.
06:09You guys are going to want to see this.
06:11Excuse me?
06:15Oh, no, no.
06:17Hey, you said you wouldn't show anyone.
06:18But you did such a good job.
06:20The photographer said we look so natural together.
06:23Sorry.
06:24Look at you.
06:24This is brilliant.
06:26This is blackmail material forever.
06:29You love the camera, you don't you?
06:31The model wasn't there, right?
06:33They were stuck.
06:34Yeah, I'm all desperate.
06:35Look, I've got another shoot this morning with a new company.
06:39Miss Walker even agreed to let me do my English presentation another day.
06:42Lucky you.
06:44Ah, Kat, can I, uh, quick word?
06:47Uh, so I know that you already know, but the police are coming to talk to you about Russia again.
06:54So I think they'll be here about period one.
06:55I still don't get why, though.
06:57Look, it's just some follow-up questions in your statement.
06:59Everyone gave a statement.
07:00Why am I the only one being called back?
07:02Look, I didn't even see you with that tone here or anything.
07:05You know I've got my English assessment, don't you?
07:07I know.
07:07I'm sorry that it had to be today.
07:09We'll get it done as quick as possible.
07:12You all right, Forrest?
07:13Hope you got your PE kit for this week.
07:15If that means has my asthma miraculously gone away, no.
07:19How many times?
07:20Asthma is not an excuse to miss PE.
07:22So you're disregarding my special needs?
07:25No.
07:25God forbid I miss PE.
07:27I mean, how is running, jumping and throwing stuff around even a real subject?
07:31Ah, so that's why you don't try, is it?
07:33I do try.
07:34You do try.
07:35Last week, you let the other side score because you were doing a Rubik's Cube in goal.
07:39Oh, yeah.
07:39I smashed my record.
07:41Yeah.
07:42Yeah, but you also let your team down.
07:44They were depending on you.
07:45So you're saying it's just better if I didn't play, then?
07:49Thanks a lot, sir.
07:51Forrest.
07:53You just got told.
07:55All right.
07:56Come on.
07:57Get to where you're meant to be.
08:10Nothing's set in stone.
08:11It's just an initial chat about a possible merger.
08:14Don't worry.
08:14Stella has already asked me to look over the merger report, so it makes sense for me to fill in.
08:18Of course.
08:19But in Stella's absence, I have invited someone along with previous experience in the process.
08:26I don't want you to feel awkward.
08:29What do you mean awkward?
08:31He wants to speak to you ahead of the meeting.
08:35Just to clear the air.
08:47So there's nothing to worry about, Kat.
08:49We just want a clarification on a couple of details in a statement you've given.
08:53I told you all I know.
08:54I know it's a bit of an inconvenience, but it will ultimately help Portia.
08:58Do you know what would really help Portia?
09:00If you just believed her.
09:02I don't think anyone here is not believing her.
09:04So why is all this necessary?
09:06She's had to stay at home while all this is happening, because it's too stressful for her to be in
09:10school.
09:10And I've got an exam this afternoon.
09:12It's like we're the ones being punished.
09:14Kat.
09:16It's a difficult process, I know.
09:18But we're working towards the best possible outcome.
09:21Funny how so many rapists go unprosecuted then, isn't it?
09:25Kat.
09:26Look, the police officers are just trying to do their job, so can we please just...
09:29It's okay.
09:31We understand completely.
09:33And it's as frustrating for us as it is for you, Kat.
09:37It's why we have to be so careful about things like statements.
09:41If the case depends on a date in a statement by someone who never even saw her with the pedo,
09:47something's wrong somewhere.
09:49Every bit of evidence matters, so we have to make sure everything's watertight.
09:57Okay, fine.
09:59Further to my previous statement, I would like to add the following.
10:02Portia is someone who's been through all kinds of family trauma in her life.
10:05Her dad's been in jail, she's been in care, she's been separated from her brothers.
10:09She was desperate for attention, and Tony Walters took full advantage.
10:14End of story.
10:17He was fired for drinking in school.
10:22What is he doing back?
10:23He won't have access to the pupils, and he's agreed to daily breathalyzer tests.
10:28And we have decided, as a trust, to support him.
10:33By putting him on consultancy rates.
10:34We talk about failing upwards.
10:36He has been through this process before, and he knows the school.
10:40And he punched me in the face, in front of pupils.
10:43And he wants to apologise.
10:47If you could find a way to work with him, I would be hugely indebted.
11:00Would you like to step in, Mr. Rimmer?
11:27Well done.
11:32I take full responsibility for my relapse.
11:37I was in a bad place.
11:41It was unfair of me to blame any of it on you.
11:44And I would like to apologise to you and to Stella.
11:49I'm pleased to hear that.
11:53I hope that we can put this behind us,
11:56and work together for the good of the school.
12:09Shall we get this underway?
12:25How was it?
12:26Pathetic.
12:27Like, why do they need to do all this?
12:29She's told them what's happened.
12:30Well, what did they want to know?
12:32Just going on about dates and times.
12:34I told them, though, the whole system's wrong.
12:36You really said that?
12:37Totally.
12:38I said that Portia's been through all kinds of trauma,
12:40and it's not her fault that she was desperate for attention when he came along.
12:43What else did I need to know?
12:46You said what?
12:48I was defending you.
12:49I was saying you'd been messed around by men your whole life.
12:52Oh, so you know about my life, do you?
12:53I was saying they should believe you.
12:55What they're going to believe is that I'm a desperate stalker, yeah?
12:58I didn't say you were a stalker.
12:59Just desperate, then.
13:00No.
13:01Look, Portia.
13:02A little victim, yeah.
13:03Sad luck loser chasing after the nice, respectable coach.
13:06That's not what I said.
13:07And there's no way they can use this against you.
13:09Oh, I'm not bothered.
13:10I'm bothered with what you're thinking, eh?
13:12That's what you are thinking, really, innit?
13:13That you had it coming?
13:15Portia!
13:16Let me go check up on her.
13:18Nice job, Kat.
13:23I've done nothing wrong.
13:26I'm right.
13:28I'm right.
13:30All right, come on, everyone.
13:31Let's get a move on.
13:32We've all got lessons to go to.
13:38I've just watched my daughter yell at the police for half an hour.
13:41How's your day going?
13:42How is she?
13:43Oh, it's a copper I'm worried about.
13:44Yeah, I just had a year nine tear a strip off me
13:47for not letting him skive off.
13:48Before I sue me.
13:49Oh, sue me, bot.
13:51Oh, yeah.
13:52Mother's straight down to school if you breathe on him too hard.
13:54Yeah, tell me about it.
13:56I mean, there's no reasoning with him.
13:58I mean, it's like trying to explain yourself to a self-service checkout.
14:02Well, why are you explaining anything?
14:05All you need to explain is you're the one in charge.
14:07Yeah, that's not exactly what they teach nowadays, though, are you?
14:09Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
14:10The pedagogical experts might have their radical new ideas,
14:13but they haven't got to get 30 teenagers to shut up and listen, have they?
14:18No, you just have to show them who's boss.
14:21What are you saying?
14:21I need to be tougher.
14:23Deep down, that's what they want.
14:25Hold on a minute.
14:27You just said that Kat just wiped the floor with the dimple.
14:29Ah, yes, well, she's not a teenager.
14:33She's a 35-year-old trapped in a teenager's body.
14:38Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
15:07Let's go and get the ball, will you?
15:09All right.
15:10I'll try my very best.
15:21Boris, stop messing up.
15:23Come on, man.
15:27Boris, sue me!
15:33You don't want to be part of the team?
15:36Fine.
15:38You can be the ref.
15:39What?
15:40Yeah.
15:41See how you like that?
15:43And if you don't do it, I will talk to your head a year.
15:46There'll be no chess club, there'll be no music lessons,
15:49there'll be nothing,
15:50because you'll be training with me every single day after school.
15:52Do I make myself clear?
15:56Now go and get the ball!
15:58Oh, yes.
16:00Oh, yes.
16:13I mean, it's only like my fifth job,
16:15and I still can't believe it's happening.
16:17Work hard.
16:18Don't make a lot of drama.
16:19You'll be golden.
16:19I'm trying.
16:21You've got beautiful hair.
16:23I need to have a think about what to do with it.
16:28I love it.
16:30Aw, thank you.
16:38Um, I'm not sure it's going to be the right shade for me.
16:41It's a bit light.
16:43Oh, no, it's fine.
16:43I've used this on girls with skin like yours lots of times.
16:48It's just that the makeup artist at my last shoot
16:50said that I've got a lot of warmth in my skin tone,
16:52and if it's too light, it could end up looking grey.
16:54Well, I can only work with what I've got.
16:58The ongoing issue is that Waterloo Road
17:01is suffering disproportionately from the problems facing all schools,
17:05which is falling pupil numbers and staff retention.
17:09Now, we have big ambitions for this school,
17:13and one idea is that merging with another school
17:17is the best way to achieve them.
17:20I have to say that their staff and I
17:22would absolutely welcome the opportunity to upscale.
17:25Well, that's good to know, Darius.
17:26Jack, I know you have some concerns.
17:28Yes, um, I can see the benefits to the trust as a whole,
17:33but I've seen for myself that mergers can fail
17:36when the community isn't on board.
17:38This school brings a lot to this area.
17:41You know, it has a unique identity,
17:43which I personally think it would be a shame to lose.
17:47There's a lot of baggage with the name Waterloo Road,
17:50and I personally would love the chance
17:53to shake off those associations.
17:55I think there is an expectation of failure in some quarters.
17:58When you talk about associations, you could also say pride.
18:01I mean, I've seen the results of trying to merge schools
18:04with strong identities,
18:06and the benefits of a new media studio
18:08aren't worth much when the pupils are outside
18:10kicking merry hell out of each other.
18:12Well, are you the authority on that, Jack?
18:21Perhaps you can speak to how you negotiated specific challenges
18:26in your previous merger, Jack.
18:27I'd be happy to.
18:29But I don't really see the point of digging any deeper
18:33when the head isn't here.
18:34I've been lucky enough to work closely with Stella,
18:36and I think I can speak for her,
18:38and I know she will want to do whatever is necessary
18:40to maintain progress.
18:42I also know Stella.
18:43And I feel a personal responsibility
18:45to continue the great work she has started.
18:48In fact, I'm more than happy to put together
18:50a presentation on the potential benefits for us specifically,
18:53if that helps.
19:16I'm sorry, could you stop, please?
19:18I'm not trying to be awkward.
19:19I just...
19:20I know it's not going to look right.
19:21Oh.
19:23This is your fifth job, is it?
19:25Oh, it's no good for my skin.
19:28Oh.
19:28You're making it about that.
19:30I'm sorry, what?
19:31Do you know what?
19:32Let's just leave it.
19:33Your skin is perfect as it is.
19:34But I don't want you to leave it.
19:36All the other girls have got make-up on.
19:39Well, this is what I'm using.
19:43I'm sorry, but no.
19:44You're thinking about London.
19:46Do you know your physical?
19:47Where shall I start?
19:4810, 15, 16, bars, and each of you
19:50will be right at K for the heart.
19:51All my money, let's get so stolen.
19:53Come on in, come on in.
19:54That's my slogan.
19:55I want to know how I'm...
19:55Nice attitude.
20:00I want to know how...
20:10I want to know how...
20:17What are you doing, you idiot?
20:19Well, I'm the ref, so I make the rules.
20:23You're just ruining it for everyone, as usual.
20:25Right. Off.
20:27Oh, you're not sending nobody off.
20:29You know what? You two, you're off as well.
20:31All right, that's enough.
20:32You know what? You're all off.
20:35All of you. You're all off.
20:37Nobody's off. You don't off. Yeah?
20:39Well, I'm the boss, are you?
20:41Declan!
20:41No!
20:44He's broke my nose.
20:45It's your own fault.
20:46Right, changing rooms now.
20:48All of you!
20:51You did this.
20:53You did.
20:56I'm telling my mum.
20:58How could I get you sacked for this?
21:00I was sitting, I was sitting right there.
21:03No, no, no!
21:04It's my widow.
21:06Trying to keep the day coming in my life.
21:10One, two.
21:12Some day, looking up with you, I'm pretty, two.
21:14I was sitting, I was sitting right there.
21:26Ahem. Could I see your visitors pass, please?
21:37Oh, disappointing. I was hoping I might have to take down your particulars.
21:42Hello, trouble.
21:43Hello. Nice to see you back in school, Jack, where you belong.
21:48It's very handy to have my sponsor just down the corridor.
21:51Well, I take my role very seriously. I have to.
21:54You know, the only gentleman caller I get these days is you, having a wobble.
21:58I don't believe that, but I'm very grateful.
22:02You've done it all yourself, anyway.
22:04Facing up to Donovan again after everything he's done to you.
22:07It's not easy, Jack, and he's no great shakes from what I can see.
22:11You should have seen him in there.
22:13He couldn't have made his intentions clear if he'd put his CV on the whiteboard.
22:16He was the same in the staff briefing.
22:19You made it quite clear who's in charge.
22:22Well, he's not in charge of me.
22:24I'm in charge of me, and I'm done blaming him for my choices.
22:28Yeah, well, that's the programme talk.
22:29Well, because of the programme, Donovan is no longer my concern.
22:33I'll catch you later.
22:44On the other hand, it could be argued that the raft was plenty big enough for two people to fit
22:47on board,
22:48and Rose could have easily pulled Jack onto it.
22:50I assume that the filmmakers made the raft this size deliberately to make us question why.
22:55I suggest that the themes of Titanic are class structure and hierarchy.
23:03Izzy, I'm sorry for the interruption.
23:05One moment, please.
23:11Where have you meant to be? Get there now.
23:13Oh, it's OK, miss. They're with me. I was just grabbing a brew.
23:17It's lesson time.
23:18Yeah, I know, but I can't get started till I've had my third cuppa.
23:21I'm doing a GCSE exam in there.
23:23Well, I can't just magic them outside. Little bit of air.
23:26Little bit of skive, more like.
23:27I just think that it gets their brains working,
23:30but I suppose not all teachers have got the imagination to break out of old routines.
23:36I see.
23:37Oh, perhaps you can tell me more about your innovative approach later.
23:42Sorry.
23:43I'm Miss Walker. I'll be interviewing you.
23:52Year seven!
23:55Apologies.
24:04Continue.
24:05To conclude, perhaps the raft is a metaphor for the treatment of the poor by the rich,
24:10meaning that the poor construct the raft, but not allowed a place on it,
24:14even if there's a space free.
24:19Well presented, Izzy.
24:20A subject that you're obviously very passionate about.
24:24Right, Kat.
24:37I mean, it's women are their own worst enemies.
24:42True or false?
24:43You would say that.
24:46Let's hear her, please.
24:49I would like to discuss the often proposed idea that one of the factors holding women back in society
24:54is women themselves.
24:55For instance, Camille Glover, in her book, The Sisterhood Mythos, suggests that in order to succeed in top jobs,
25:04women are forced to play by male rules, which means deriding female competition.
25:09In other words, girls end up trashing other girls.
25:12You know.
25:13But I would argue that this is not true.
25:18In fact, I would argue this in itself is an outdated and sexist trope and that it's only due to
25:28women's continued camaraderie that we succeed at all.
25:31Oh, my God.
25:33Can you be any more two-face?
25:34Please.
25:37Portia.
25:38Oh, me, she's so full of crap, though.
25:40As soon as I'm out of the room, she's telling everyone I'm a slag.
25:45Last warning.
25:49Kat?
25:51Um...
25:54I believe that, um...
25:58Um...
25:58Far from...
26:01Far from being, um...
26:03A myth.
26:05The concept of the...
26:07The sisterhood.
26:10Kat.
26:12Don't walk out, or I'll have to fail you.
26:16I'll have to fail you.
26:34Oh, I'm gonna have a fancy biscuit, and I don't care who...
26:38Right, you, right, okay?
26:39Your attitude, it stinks.
26:42Oh, I think we've got a problem here.
26:44Serena Michelle asked for a financial report for a meeting, and I've had to lie and say that there's an
26:50IT issue.
26:51So I can't give her this.
26:52What on?
26:53I can't make the figures tally up.
26:55There's a massive hole in the send budget.
26:58In send?
27:00Like, laptops, or something like that, but if it was, I'd know about it, so...
27:05All right, well, how much are we talking?
27:07Nearly 60 grand.
27:0960,000 pounds?
27:11Yeah.
27:13Before I do flag with Serena Michelle, I don't know if you want to talk to Mitch about it.
27:18See if you can shed any light on it.
27:22Yes.
27:24Yeah, yeah, thank you, Wendy.
27:26I'm sure there'll be an explanation.
27:29OK, so we did full-spectrum bloods to rule out anything serious, and it's generally good news.
27:38No problems with your liver, kidney function, no sign of diabetes.
27:43Generally.
27:46Have you used recreational drugs recently?
27:50No, no, of course not.
27:52Well, I'm afraid your test results show traces of ketamine in your system.
27:57That would certainly account for the symptoms you described, the confusion, sleepiness, and so on.
28:03Well, it must be a mistake.
28:05Well, the results are fairly conclusive.
28:07If you're certain that you haven't knowingly taken...
28:10I've just told you I haven't.
28:13How could there possibly be ketamine in my blood?
28:17Well, we do see cases where it's been administered without someone's knowledge.
28:23As a date rape drug, for instance.
28:28Now, obviously, if this is what you think has happened, then you should speak to the police.
28:35Sorry, are you seriously saying that someone has drugged me?
28:59I know I'm a bitch, so you can save your breath, all right?
29:03Well, you might be able to have another go at your spoken languages.
29:06At least you can speak to Miss Walker about it.
29:08I've blown it.
29:10Like I said, it doesn't really count.
29:13In my head it counts.
29:14I don't know why you're getting yourself so worked up about this.
29:19Maybe it's because I can't open my mouth without saying something stupid.
29:26Portia's not actually angry at you.
29:28She's just taking it out on you, okay?
29:34When did you get your degree in psychology?
29:37I've been going family therapy with my dad.
29:40They've been telling me to stop trying to control everything, because you can't.
29:44I make mistakes.
29:47I don't do mistakes.
29:49Oh, really?
29:50Really.
29:51I've got a life plan, and I stick to it.
29:53A life plan?
29:55I wrote it when I was 12.
29:57I planned out which universities I wanted to go to, and how much the rent would cost me.
30:01It's actually pretty interesting.
30:02It's actually me trying to control my life after a bad thing happened.
30:07I don't need therapy to tell me.
30:10Your mum and dad breaking up.
30:15Well, I did need someone to tell me.
30:18When my mum died, I thought everything was my fault.
30:23Apparently.
30:28So much in common.
30:30So much.
30:34You know what?
30:36That sisterhood thing you talk about, it's still a thing.
30:40You're doing better sistering than my actual sister, wherever she is.
30:44Oh, so you see me as a sister?
30:46No.
30:47Not exactly.
30:55I need to go see Colin.
31:01I see you haven't been in full-time education for some time.
31:05Why have you decided to return now?
31:08It was coming back here.
31:09To do supply, I felt like I'd never been away.
31:13You see, to me, teaching isn't just a career.
31:16It's a vocation.
31:18Huh.
31:18Because I asked my year 11s, and they said you mostly put on the Romeo and Juliet DVD while you
31:24read Take a Break.
31:27Is that what they said?
31:29Yeah.
31:33Cards on the table.
31:35I believe this is the second time you've advertised this job.
31:39You're struggling to fill the post.
31:40I've got experience, I've got availability, I know the school, and I know the staff.
31:45Some of you would probably like to know better.
31:47I'm sorry?
31:51Shall we talk about the GCSE curriculum?
31:53I trust you're familiar with it.
31:56I get the feeling that you've already made your decision.
32:02Cards on the table.
32:05I'm not sure you're exactly what we're looking for.
32:09I see.
32:10Well, what a shame.
32:12But you're right.
32:13I don't know the subject inside out, but then again, I don't imagine you know French.
32:32You know what?
32:49when you're announcing it in staff briefing tomorrow.
32:51Hmm.
32:52Are you sure you want to do this?
32:54If he's in one of his moods?
32:56I want to meet your dad.
32:58Okay. I want him to see this.
33:00I want him to know.
33:02Exactly.
33:03Come on.
33:10Dad, I brought someone to meet you.
33:12This is Nisha.
33:14Hello, Jimmy.
33:17Have you thrown your dinner at the nurse?
33:19Again?
33:20Oh, no. Spagball as well. It's my favourite, that.
33:22Love, if you tasted it, you'd throw it at someone too.
33:27Listen, Dad.
33:29We've got something to tell you.
33:31Guess who this is, Jimmy.
33:33What the hell's that?
33:34It's your grandson.
33:42Dad.
33:43What's it got to do with me?
33:45Jimmy, it's a picture.
33:47Of your grandson.
33:49We're expecting.
33:51If it turns out anything like him,
33:53it should be strangled at birth.
33:55Dad.
33:56So what are you going to teach it?
33:57How to scrounge for a living?
33:59Darius is a defty hedge.
34:00You should be proud of him.
34:01After the last five minutes, like everything else.
34:04Teaching.
34:05Someone needs to teach him to tie his own bootlaces.
34:09Have you got a sec?
34:12You okay?
34:13Yeah, go on, you go.
34:20I can't believe you'd speak to your own son like that.
34:22You don't know him like I do, love.
34:24No, but that's no excuse to be rude to him or to me.
34:30Look.
34:32I know that you must be upset about losing your sister.
34:35What are you talking about?
34:37Your sister.
34:39I'm really sorry to her that she passed.
34:42I don't have a sister.
34:43You're talking rubbish, you know.
34:46Whatever he's told you, it'll be a pack of lies.
35:01Well.
35:03That was about as successful as my hinge profile.
35:08Come on.
35:09Can't be that bad.
35:11How do people always focus on the little things that they say wrong in an interview?
35:15Hmm.
35:15I called her a sad old witch.
35:18In French.
35:20You never.
35:24Look, the thing is about Coral,
35:27well, you just don't want to get on the wrong side of her.
35:29Well.
35:30Probably mad to think that I could come back full time anyway.
35:35Yeah.
35:35I know how you feel.
35:38You know, I just want to know when it starts to feel like those adverts on the telly.
35:41You know, when the kids are hanging on your every word and you're changing lives.
35:46As far as I can see,
35:49every day it just rhymes at home that you're no good at it.
35:51You're as good a teacher as anyone.
35:53I'm not.
35:54I'm not qualified, am I?
35:56I don't know why I thought I could do it in the first place.
35:58Hey!
35:59Where's all this coming from?
36:02I'm just having a nightmare with one of the pupils and...
36:06Oh, Neil.
36:07Yeah, well, he said that I should be stricter, tougher.
36:11And that, that just made things worse.
36:14I mean, he annoyed everyone that much, he got assaulted,
36:16and now I think his mum's going to sue me.
36:18I'd usually had a couple of them by lunchtime.
36:25The thing is, Dante,
36:27teaching isn't a one size fits all.
36:30It's about personality, it's about life experience.
36:35Everyone has their own strengths, you've just got to learn to...
36:39to play to them.
36:42Yeah, and what's yours?
36:44My beauty.
36:49Ah, you've not changed, have you?
36:51Look, I can tell you what I said in the interview,
36:54or I can tell you the truth, and to be honest,
36:56I haven't got a clue, I'm still trying to work it out.
36:59The point is, you're not going to reach your pupil by shouting at them.
37:04You're going to reach them by, by being you.
37:07Anyway.
37:09I've got a period five to prepare for.
37:14Hey.
37:16Thanks for the advice.
37:17You're welcome.
37:19I'm just sorry I'm not going to be here to dispense any more of me sage wisdom.
37:24But it's probably for the best.
37:33You're early.
37:35Should you be here?
37:37I was allowed out for a shoot, but I came back early.
37:39There's no point going to my other lesson for five minutes.
37:42Well, your other teacher might feel differently, but came back early, why?
37:45I walked out.
37:48The makeup artist was using all the wrong products,
37:50and when I mentioned it, she acted like I was being awkward.
37:53Because it's not awkward that she learnt how to do her job with only one ethnicity.
37:58I'd have had to go in front of the camera looking rubbish and feeling rubbish,
38:01and so I would have done a rubbish job.
38:03I thought makeup artists were supposed to know what they're doing.
38:05Have you seen these?
38:07From my glory days in the music industry?
38:10You look amazing in the mix.
38:11Because I did my own hair, and I did my own makeup.
38:15If I'd left it to them, I'd have no hair left.
38:18This first time, she was brutal with the tongue.
38:22She used no heat protection, of course.
38:24It was like she'd never even seen black hair before.
38:26I know, right?
38:27You are not the problem, Shola.
38:29The problem is that makeup artist.
38:31The problem is the people who trained her, and the people who hired her.
38:37So what are you meant to do?
38:39If it's ever going to stop, it's because people like you tell them what is okay and what's not okay.
38:45It's your hair, your skin, and asking for a so-called professional to understand how to manage it is the
38:53bare minimum.
38:54But my agent might stop putting me up for jobs.
38:57If she's a good agent, she'll find you better jobs.
38:59You're not being employed just for this.
39:02You're being employed for this.
39:06Your attitude, and your personality.
39:09I'm so proud of you for not being afraid to show it.
39:15Hey!
39:16Got a minute?
39:18I've got two, before the year sevens descend.
39:22Look, I don't want to put you on the spot or anything, it's just that I spoke with Miss Haydock.
39:27Oh, yes.
39:29Yeah.
39:30She seems to think that her interview didn't go too well, and I just wondered, you know, on the QT...
39:37I'll be letting her know, after I've carefully considered the responses of a loud-mouthed, has-been teacher of a
39:46completely different subject.
39:48Look, I just think you might have got the wrong impression of her.
39:52Look, I know that she can be a little bit in your face.
39:55Alright, maybe a lot, at times, but she's a great teacher.
39:59I mean, I should know, she taught me.
40:01What did you get in French?
40:03Er, unclassified?
40:04That was my fault, alright, not hers.
40:09Look, I know that she gives off the impression that she doesn't care.
40:13But she does, maybe a little bit too much.
40:16Well, she would jump head-first into her students' lives.
40:18She would do whatever she needs to do to get them to where they want to go.
40:22That was a good few years ago, Dante.
40:26Grape?
40:31Look, you can learn new strategies.
40:33But you can't learn hard.
40:37And Miss Haydock, she has that in spades.
40:39And we need as much of that as we can get, don't we?
40:43But I got two pieces of teacher advice today.
40:46One from Neil and one from Miss Haydock.
40:49And one, one just made me want to pack it all in.
40:55And the other, well, it made me believe in myself again.
41:01Can you guess which is which?
41:19Just look at the body language, bro.
41:22Anyone can see what's going on.
41:23Er, that's what the photographer told us to do, so.
41:25Oh, did he also tell you to be all touchy-feely when you see each other in school?
41:29No, she goes out with male models.
41:31Anyway, Tonya's only been gone for two seconds.
41:34It is not like that.
41:36Ben!
41:38Nan!
41:39Is everything all right? What did the doctor say?
41:42The doctor wanted to know if I'd been taking ketamine.
41:45What?
41:46It was on my blood tests.
41:47Now, there's only one way that I can explain that.
41:49And that's if somebody gave it to me without my knowing.
41:52You think I'd spike you?
41:53You had ketamine in your locker.
41:54I would never.
41:55Well, then who?
41:56I know there were drugs at that party.
41:58Is it something to do with that?
41:59I don't know.
42:02I'm going to have to report this to the police.
42:04So, if you're trying to protect somebody.
42:12Jack.
42:20All I'm asking is if you can shed a bit of light on it.
42:22And just to be clear, no-one is accusing anyone of anything.
42:25No, not out loud, but someone obviously thinks I've had my hand in the till.
42:29Look, I've got a series of invoices for Sphere Special Needs Education that I can't explain.
42:35And they're 10k a pop.
42:36I've never heard of Sphere whatever.
42:38That's because it doesn't appear to exist.
42:40Hang on, so you think I've set this up and paid myself for supplies that don't exist?
42:46Oh, for goodness sake. You're the SENCO.
42:48I have to ask.
42:50Serena Michelle will also be asking.
42:51Right, I asked Stella for a budget meeting repeatedly.
42:55And she cancelled it more than once.
42:57Yes, I did change it in her diary a couple of times.
43:00Right, and I've been hassling her because we are desperate for equipment.
43:04Why would I encourage her to look at the budget if I've been doing this?
43:08I wouldn't even know how to go about it.
43:09And I can't just sign off on orders, that's why I had to see Stella.
43:14He's right.
43:15It would have to be signed off by senior management.
43:18OK, well, sorry to drag you out, Mitch.
43:20You're back to your lesson there.
43:22Oh, thank you.
43:26Love you.
43:28Love you.
43:34What?
43:36Who signed it?
43:40Stella.
43:44I wanted a way back.
43:46To make amends.
43:49So, you know, if I can help with the merger.
43:51Sorry?
43:52What merger?
43:55Well, you don't know?
43:56No.
43:58Well, Darius is leading it.
43:59He told everyone you were in favour of it.
44:02This is the first I'm hearing of any merger.
44:06Well, he's not representing you, clearly.
44:08He's represented himself.
44:09Look, I'm sure there's a perfectly reasonable explanation.
44:13Maybe.
44:15I'll just say this.
44:17I'm sure he'd like nothing better than to have you out of his way.
44:20I know he was talking in the staff room like you were never coming back.
44:28Stella?
44:33No, Stella wouldn't.
44:35Not in a million.
44:36I know, but these invoices can only have been signed off by her account.
44:42All right, well, so she made a mistake.
44:45For that amount?
44:46Have you met Stella?
44:48Yeah, I have.
44:49And she's as straight as they come.
44:50And she's close to retiring.
44:53Hmm.
44:54Well, she can't retire.
44:56Sorry?
44:58Well, you must have read about the pension fund collapsing.
45:01Stella was one of the people affected by it.
45:04But she lost her pension.
45:06Oh, my.
45:07Wendy, I really need that financial report.
45:15Stella?
45:16Oh, yeah, just give me a minute.
45:18I'm just...
45:19Just trying to get my thoughts together.
45:22Well, you carried straight on after Hope.
45:24No wonder you're on the sick.
45:25No, no, it's nothing to do with that.
45:27Last term, you said that Darius actively tried to get you to drink.
45:31I honestly didn't want to get into this.
45:34But did he?
45:37He put a bottle of whiskey on my desk.
45:40After he'd seen me at an addiction meeting.
45:43Because he wanted me to relapse.
45:45Because he wanted my job.
45:46But I was the one who drank it.
45:48I can't keep blaming him.
45:52What's going on?
45:57I believe I was drugged.
46:01I started feeling weird at work.
46:03My head was swimming and I could barely keep my eyes open.
46:08Well, it must have been given to you in school.
46:10Who were you with?
46:12Darius.
46:14Yeah.
46:20I promised myself I was going to let this lie.
46:22But this changes things.
46:25Serena Michelle is in school. I say we go and find her.
46:30Your dad doesn't know what he's saying.
46:32No.
46:33He knows.
46:37It's lucky that your auntie weren't so sour.
46:40Did them two get on?
46:42You've just seen him.
46:44Doesn't get on with anyone.
46:50What is she doing?
46:52I've been looking for you, but I'd prefer if we could talk privately.
46:55You should not be in work.
46:57I'm not ill anymore, but that's what I want to talk to you about.
47:00Look, we have serious concerns about a member of staff.
47:03I suspect there's been criminal behaviour.
47:05Joe and Wendy have made me aware of some allegations.
47:08Stella, what are you doing here?
47:10Could we continue this somewhere else, please?
47:12I cannot be having this conversation.
47:15Not without a lawyer present.
47:16I'm sorry?
47:17You need to listen to her.
47:18Look, I don't know what you're referring to,
47:20but a significant amount of money is missing from the school accounts.
47:24So, it is out of my hands.
47:26It's now a police matter.
47:32Hiya, we received a call.
47:33Yes, that's me, Serena Michelle.
47:36I didn't know Mrs Drake was going to be here,
47:38but you'll be wanting to speak to her.
47:40Would you like to follow me?
47:41Sorry, what is going on?
47:44Let's just...
47:58Come on, boys, get a move on.
48:02Why are we outside?
48:04Well, it's PE detention.
48:05Funnily enough, we're doing PE.
48:07We are going to be doing this every night.
48:10What?
48:11We didn't do anything.
48:13Erm, child slavery.
48:14Look, I'm telling my mum.
48:16I'm telling my mum.
48:17Yeah, we know, Forrest.
48:19Well, I'll tell you what.
48:20I'll set you a challenge.
48:21A race.
48:23One circuit of the playground.
48:26Me versus all of you.
48:28Well, you're going to win.
48:29You do PE all day.
48:31And you've got longer legs.
48:33Yeah, well, this is where the fun starts.
48:35Because all of you are going to be running in a relay.
48:39So, let's see if the five of you together can beat the one of me.
48:43And if you win, if you win, no more detentions.
48:48Get it.
48:49So, what's it going to be?
48:53All right.
48:54Yeah?
48:55Yeah?
48:56Let's get started then.
48:57Each of you to one of those cones.
48:58Let's go.
49:01Oi, cat.
49:03Orsha.
49:05I went to speak to Mr. Swift about everything that happened before.
49:08And he said it's okay to be angry.
49:11But it's not fair to be aggressive with people.
49:15I was only trying to help.
49:17Yeah, well, it starts for messing up your exams and, like, your entire future or whatever.
49:23I'll be all right.
49:24And I don't think you're desperate.
49:26I think you're strong.
49:27Yeah, well, I don't want to have to be strong.
49:29I just want to forget it happened, but I can't.
49:32Because people are talking about it all the time.
49:34And the only person who doesn't want to talk about it is me.
49:38Well, we're always here, all right.
49:40We've got your back.
49:41Any time you want to talk, we're all here for you.
49:46Sisters!
49:47Sisters!
49:52No one's dead!
49:53Oh, come on!
49:54No!
49:55No!
50:04Yes, darling!
50:06No!
50:08No!
50:12No!
50:13The boys!
50:14No!
50:14Stand in the trenches and call all your boys
50:17Get in, get in, get in
50:39Yeah, yeah, all right, you got me
50:41No detentions now, you know
50:42No detentions
50:44It's all thanks to Forrest
50:45It's fair, it's fair
50:46You've seen sloths faster than that, sir
50:49Well, listen, if you like that, we can do it next weekend for you
50:53Same teams
50:55What do you reckon, Forrest?
50:57Look, I know what you're doing
50:58Cos I'm not a complete idiot
51:03But yeah
51:05Okay
51:07I'm telling you, Mum
51:09I'm telling you, Mum
51:11Great race, mate
51:14Mrs. Drake, you need to come with us now
51:16Could you at least wait until all the pupils have gone?
51:20This is ridiculous
51:21You're not even giving her a chance to put her aside
51:23She's clearly being set off
51:25She needs to account for where the money has gone
51:28That was great
51:29Wait, what's going on?
51:31We should do it here again
51:40Man
51:42Man, what's happening?
51:43Ben, it's okay
51:44It's all right
51:45I'll call you
51:45I'm fine
51:46Come on, back inside, everyone
51:48Go on
51:48Go back in
51:49Come on
51:49Come on
51:57She is not a thief
52:00She is the last person you should be looking at
52:08Do you know what's going on?
52:11I don't know
52:12I don't know
52:14I don't know
52:29Okay, yeah?
52:30Thanks again, Charlotte, okay?
52:32I'll see you
52:33Is that another job?
52:35No, it's just my agent being brilliant
52:36She's going to put me up for any more jobs with makeup artists
52:39That don't know how to do their jobs
52:40And she advised me for sticking to my principles
52:42Is that not a bit pushy?
52:44Yeah, but I'm going to be more pushy
52:46It's my hair, it's my skin, it's my life
52:48Okay
52:50So when am I taking you out then?
52:53Huh?
52:53Oh, sorry, is that too pushy for you?
52:55No, no, no, no, no
52:57How's Friday for you?
52:58Friday?
53:00Friday?
53:01Friday
53:01Friday, yeah
53:03Yeah?
53:04Yeah
53:04Okay
53:05Okay
53:05Yeah
53:06That's cool
53:06See you
53:07Yeah, bye-bye
53:15Just don't know if we do the right thing, will you?
53:17You did the only thing that you could
53:19Yeah, we didn't know they were going to make her do the walk of shame in front of the whole
53:22school, did we?
53:24Serena Michelle, making sure everyone knows
53:27She's washing her hands of Stella
53:29Mm
53:29Yeah, but we shouldn't jump to conclusions
53:31Well, surely they wouldn't have arrested her unless they had evidence
53:34All I'm saying is it doesn't seem right
53:36Yeah, I don't get it, she seemed dead straight to me
53:38She hasn't been well
53:40Perhaps she was confused?
53:44All right, yeah, yeah
53:45Because every time I'm feeling a bit rough, I forget where I put several thousand pounds
53:50But why would she need to steal? She must be on a massive wedge
53:56It's the, er, pensions
53:58Eh?
54:01She lost a pension
54:02In the...
54:03Well, that's it then, isn't it? Case closed
54:05I don't think we should be discussing this
54:08Certainly not in public
54:11Have you told them?
54:13What?
54:14Our news
54:16Oh, do you know what? I don't think now...
54:18That's what we are expecting
54:20Oh, my God
54:21Handsome little thing
54:22Oh, my God, let me see
54:23Oh, congratulations
54:24Thank you
54:24We're hoping he gets his mum's everything, let's be honest
54:27Same again, everyone
54:29Come on, we're celebrating
54:31Yeah, yeah, yeah, congrats
54:32Wow, great
54:34T-shirt
54:35Hey, do you mind if I join you?
54:37I'm in shock about Stella
54:40Never mind you lot
54:44Actually, you're probably just wanting to have a private discussion, so I'll make myself scarce
54:50Hold you
54:52Can I, um, have a word in there before you go?
55:01He didn't warn me about the school hatchet face
55:04My God, if I have ever seen a woman more in need of...
55:07No, that's my missus
55:11Well, in my humble opinion, Neil
55:15She's punching
55:20Did she go save, are you?
55:27I wanted to thank you for coming in
55:31So, this is the big elbow, is it?
55:35Not necessarily
55:37I wanted to reassure you that the decision hasn't yet been made
55:43You have some excellent references
55:46Thank you for letting me know
55:48I'm sorry if I was a bit harsh on you in the interview
55:53It's my, um, first day back off mat leave
55:56First day?
55:57Bloody hell
55:58What are you going to be like by half term?
56:01Heads on spikes
56:04You're welcome to join us
56:10Should you be in here?
56:11Where's Donovan?
56:12No, Jack, no
56:13Out of my way
56:14Whatever happened to, I'm done blaming him
56:16He did the same thing to Stella that he did to me
56:19So what are you going to do, eh?
56:21Get drunk and punch his lights out again
56:23Don't you think this is what he wants?
56:25I know it's what I want
56:26And there'll be no coming back this time
56:28It's him
56:29He took the money
56:31He drugged Stella to get her out of the way
56:33And then she takes the phone
56:35Guess who steps up in her place?
56:36But that's no concern of yours, Jack
56:38That's what you said
56:40What happened to all those chats we've had over the last few months, eh?
56:44About you wanting to be a different man
56:47Well, this is where it matters
56:49Be different
56:51If you can see what he did, then someone else can
56:54Honestly, he's on borrowed time
57:24He's on borrowed time
57:27And it's the worst
57:30To truly stop the night ever
57:34I cheated myself
57:38Like I knew I would
57:42I told you I was troubled
57:47You know that I'm no good
57:51I told you I was troubled
57:56You know that I'm no good
58:01I told you I was troubled
