00:26Oh, I know what you're thinking.
00:28Give me your why am I rolling in a bin with some pom-poms?
00:35Go rewind!
00:41Mum, where are my basketball boots?
00:43Outside in a bucket of water, you're stacked in something.
00:53I think it's time for a new pair.
00:55That's going to cost about a bazillion quid.
00:58Yes, another instalment of Delma Pay.
01:02Cha-ching! It's Delma Pay Day.
01:04Every month since we were little, our rich auntie for Delma sends us 100 quid.
01:09Connor uses his for...
01:10Hello, Investment Club. How's the market doing today?
01:13And mine's supposed to be for cheerleading classes.
01:16Oh, slight detail. I never really took to cheerleading.
01:20Pretty much ever.
01:25That auntie for Delma literally never comes to visit.
01:28Well, it's fine.
01:29Auntie for Delma is coming to visit!
01:32Uh-oh.
01:33I need to get the place spotless!
01:36You just cleaned.
01:37You're right. This is how she gets me.
01:40This time, I'll meet her snipey meanness with...
01:46Zen-like car.
01:51I know. Rather than re-tidying the whole house, we could just pretend that we've been abducted by aliens.
01:58I've been telling you for years to come clean about the cheerleading.
02:01Ha-ha. You're toast.
02:04I'm not worried. She'll be too busy to come watch me cheer.
02:08Can't wait to watch Aoife cheer.
02:13I'll just explain it. I'm a basketball player. She'll understand.
02:18Yeah. Although, she'll probably expect you to repay all the money.
02:22I wouldn't put it past the lovely, kind, person.
02:30She's hardly kept track of exactly how much she sent.
02:34I'm excited to see how Aoife has used my ยฃ6,840.
02:46Cheerleading?
02:47Oh, yes. I dabbled when I was little.
02:49You still are little.
02:50And perfectly formed.
02:52Yes. So, can you teach me?
02:54Sorry. It was between that and majorettes.
02:56I went with majorettes.
02:57Aren't they the same thing?
02:58They're quite different disciplines, actually.
03:01Cheerleading combines dance and acrobat.
03:04Stop!
03:04I don't have time for an essay on the differences
03:06between cheering and majoretting.
03:09Is this going to be a thing?
03:10Because we have a big match coming up.
03:17It's so not going to be a thing.
03:19I just need a cheer teacher.
03:20I'm pronto!
03:22You know, I heard a rumour once
03:23that one of the teachers was a champion cheerleader.
03:25Who? Is it the librarian, Miss Shushi?
03:30No, it can't be Jim.
03:32Although, he does play the spoons.
03:38No!
03:38Is it Sergio, the surprisingly agile caretaker?
03:42You know, the one with all the dance draw fees?
03:47I don't know who it was.
03:48It was just a rumour.
03:49Oh!
03:49What?
03:50Yeah?
03:51There is an old cheerleading costume
03:52on display in the theatre department.
03:54To the theatre department!
04:04Wow!
04:07Whoa!
04:09An old photo!
04:11Must be a clue!
04:13Wait, is that...
04:18You!
04:19You were a high school cheerleading champ!
04:22That's ridiculous. Who told you that?
04:24A little birdie.
04:25Well, that little bird is barking up the wrong tree,
04:29or tweeting from there, or just generally being annoying.
04:33Look, it's the same face, though.
04:35Slightly clenched and squeezed.
04:47Somehow I knew this day would come.
04:50I am that cheerleading champ.
04:54Kinda weird, but also helpful.
05:01And we're back to weird. Again.
05:04What a time that was.
05:06The peak of physical performance.
05:08The respect of everyone around me.
05:10Except for you. Isn't that right, Mummy?
05:14Even Supreme Excellence wasn't good enough for you.
05:18Pointless. That was the word she liked to use.
05:21This might take a while.
05:23Countless medals and trophies, but she was never happy.
05:25I remember once, back in 89, we were-
05:28Great story!
05:29But I'm kinda pressed for time, and I need to learn how to cheer immediately.
05:33Can you help?
05:34I just don't think I could jiggle a pom-pom again.
05:38Too painful.
05:39Too painful.
05:41Okay.
05:42Bye.
05:43Hang on, is that it?
05:44Aren't you going to beg for my help?
05:46I was a national champion, you know.
05:49Okay.
05:51Please!
05:52Please!
05:54Please!
05:54Please!
05:54Well, if you're going to be that insistent about it, then...
05:57Yes, okay!
05:59Yes!
06:00Thank you!
06:01You've currently saved my bacon, which is currently valued at ยฃ6,840.
06:09But if we do this, we have to take it the whole way.
06:12You must be prepared for that.
06:14Right.
06:14I am.
06:15When do we start?
06:16We have already begun.
06:21Wanderers are playing rovers later in the semis.
06:23Who's going?
06:24Not me.
06:25Skint.
06:26Yeah, me too.
06:27But it's cool.
06:27I've got a plan.
06:29Oh, it's not your tunneling under the turnstiles plan again, is it?
06:32No.
06:33That was a stupid idea.
06:34I'm gonna pole vault over the wall.
06:36You in?
06:37Er, yeah, sure.
06:39Pole vaults don't give me nightmares at all.
06:45Er, Connor?
06:47Whilst I will like nothing better than to watch you both pole vault over the wall into a crowd of
06:53baying football fans, I can't.
06:55My rich auntie Videlma's coming to visit.
06:57Rich.
06:58How rich?
06:59Loaded.
07:00Minted.
07:01Blinked.
07:01All of the above.
07:02Ooh, sounds like someone we should chill with.
07:04You know, get a few pointers.
07:05Agreed.
07:06Make the arrangement.
07:07She is a high-powered business tycoon.
07:10She doesn't have time to pow-wow with random teenage boys.
07:14Just a nephew.
07:16We're going.
07:17We can pole vault into his garden after the match.
07:20I'll just use the front door.
07:22Oh, yeah.
07:31Right, have you de-boogered?
07:32Er, the keys are bat free.
07:34And my tribal drums?
07:35Er, fully dusted.
07:36Isn't this all a bit extra?
07:38Wouldn't Videlma just be happy to see her family?
07:41Looking sharp, Breed.
07:43Why, thank you, Bear.
07:45Er, what are you two doing here?
07:46I thought you were pole vaulting.
07:47Mmm, plan didn't work out.
07:50Yeah.
07:51So we came to see the rich auntie instead.
07:53Er, where's the limo?
07:54And does it have a jacuzzi?
07:56Because I've bought my trunks?
07:57Connor, what have you been saying?
07:59Videlma's not that rich.
08:08Love and light.
08:10Love and light.
08:11Come on, Mum.
08:11She can't be that bad.
08:16Ciao, familia.
08:18Business class was torture, but I made it.
08:23And look at you, Connor.
08:27You brought a little welcome party.
08:30A hanty for Videlma?
08:31Yes, this is Ben and Klanger.
08:33Two strapping lads.
08:35My luggage is in the boot.
08:37Mine the handles.
08:38They're embossed.
08:39Put them in by my serenity table.
08:42Serenity table.
08:43You're still into all that woo-woo.
08:46Brilliant.
08:47And the place is looking great.
08:49Thanks, we like it.
08:52At the end of the day,
08:53you've just got to ask yourself,
08:55is it liveable?
09:02Which is equally fascinating.
09:04And then, of course, we move into the Princeton era,
09:06which we shall delve into in our next session.
09:10Fascinating.
09:11So now I move on to the action event.
09:13First, I have unearthed my cherished cheer Bible
09:17to help you on your journey.
09:18I've also included a potentially controversial section
09:21on the use of jazz hands.
09:23Something to digest.
09:25This is great.
09:26But when do we actually, you know, cheer?
09:31I didn't stay up till 4am dusting this thing off
09:33so you can just come in here and prance around the place.
09:37Silly me.
09:37Why would I expect to cheer in a cheering lesson?
09:40Thus, we must crawl.
09:42Then walk.
09:43Then run.
09:44Then jump onto the top of a human pyramid.
09:47That is the only true pathway to elite cheering.
09:51Isn't there like one or two things you could show me right now?
09:55Something that might make it look like I've been cheering for seven years?
10:01The Bible!
10:05I mean, who wants to sit on a beach in Spain all day?
10:10I was bored.
10:11But, thanks to my new business,
10:15dig it doughnuts.
10:17Tagline, doughnuts you dig.
10:19Genius.
10:21And what happens then?
10:22What happens when?
10:24After you dig them.
10:26They sprout into more doughnuts or something.
10:29Dig it doughnuts.
10:31Didn't I have the idea when we were younger?
10:34Gosh, I can't recall.
10:37Did you do a business plan for it?
10:39No.
10:41Yes.
10:42Business is about hard work, Breed.
10:44Of course, you need some luck.
10:47And the secret ingredient...
10:50Is it...
10:51Cinnamon?
10:54No.
10:56It's the art of the business bluff.
11:00Never giving anything away.
11:02Yeah.
11:03That's what I thought.
11:04Bluffing?
11:05Isn't that just being dishonest?
11:07Who cares?
11:08Teachers.
11:09Yeah, we want to be loaded too.
11:11No, no, no.
11:12But I'm sure Fidelma is far too busy...
11:15I see a lot of potential here.
11:17I already know that Connor is so brains a lot.
11:20Ben.
11:21You've got the gift of the gab.
11:25And...
11:26Clangor.
11:27Oh, you...
11:32Seem...
11:33Like a lovely fella too.
11:36So why don't we start you all tomorrow after school?
11:39Hm?
11:39Yes!
11:40Let the cashola...
11:41Roller!
11:51Finally!
11:52We've been waiting to shoot hoops.
11:54Yeah.
11:55We have a big match, remember?
11:56We need to win to make it back into the top three.
11:59I can't.
11:59I have to study this.
12:01Study?
12:01For what?
12:02Yeah.
12:03Thought you were supposed to be cheerleading.
12:05I know, but Holt's giving me this big boring manual instead.
12:09Seriously?
12:10How does that help?
12:11It doesn't.
12:12It's totally pointless.
12:14Been it.
12:16Just find a costume and walk around in it.
12:18That's all your auntie really needs to see.
12:20I probably have an old one you can borrow.
12:22Yes!
12:24Outstanding idea!
12:27This'll be a breeze.
12:32Pointless.
12:33Pointless.
12:33Pointless.
12:34Pointless.
12:35Pointless.
12:35Pointless.
12:37Pointless.
12:40Pointless.
12:41Pointless.
12:42Pointless.
12:43Pointless.
12:43It's Charlotte's old costume.
12:45From when she was ten.
12:48Aoife!
12:49Love the outfit.
12:51Why are you wearing a t-shirt over it?
12:54Is it a bit snug?
12:56It's the one I had when I first started.
12:58I can't bear to change it.
13:01Fab.
13:02Now show me all your trophies.
13:04How many has your team won?
13:07You see, the truth is...
13:11Tell me I have at least one trophy to show for my ยฃ6,840.
13:17Or I'll be looking for it back.
13:22The truth is I don't have a team.
13:24What?
13:25The school don't do cheerleading, so...
13:29Er...
13:30I practice by myself.
13:32In the school gym.
13:34The dedication.
13:37You are my best investment.
13:40Can I see?
13:42Er...
13:43No, no.
13:43I'm not going today.
13:45Why the outfit, then?
13:48I wear it all the time.
13:49I love it so much.
13:51Oh, my heart.
13:55Adorable.
13:57That's...
13:57Me!
14:05Move away, please, company car.
14:08Lads, if you want the perks of being rich,
14:11you've got to put the graft in.
14:13That's why we want to reach out and tell you about our new pineapple rental company.
14:17Now make sure you stuff the pamphlet right into the letterbox.
14:23This doesn't feel very corporate-y.
14:26Yeah.
14:27Don't we at least get suits?
14:29Listen, lads.
14:30This is how all the great entrepreneurs got started.
14:34I still do it to keep myself grounded.
14:38Do you know who I often meet when I'm out there?
14:40The postman?
14:41Lord Alan Sugar, star of The Apprentice, brings him back to his roots. He loves it.
14:48Now off you go. And if you do see Lord Alan out there, don't mention that the show is getting
14:56tired.
14:57He hates that.
15:01There she is. And still in the outfit.
15:05It's like a second skin.
15:07A very scratchy skin.
15:09You know, I always thought that you'd give up after one lesson.
15:12Never.
15:14It was two lessons.
15:16Amazing.
15:17And I cannot wait to see you perform at the chair meet tomorrow.
15:21What? What now?
15:23I had a little chat with your headmaster while I was waiting on the lads.
15:26Mr Holt.
15:27I had a word with him about promoting cheerleading.
15:30I mean, no tea. The school is not doing enough to support you.
15:36Really? What did he say?
15:38He was very apologetic.
15:40He suggested that he invite some other schools to give a chair demo tomorrow and that you take part.
15:46Oh, there he is now.
15:49Yoo-hoo!
15:53Bit constipated looking, but nice.
15:56Disaster.
15:59A cheer meet tomorrow.
16:02Awesome.
16:03Can we come?
16:05Er, no.
16:06We have a match.
16:07Er, sorry Aoife, we're busy.
16:09So is she, with us.
16:11Aoife, we need you there.
16:13Don't worry, it's okay.
16:15No need at all to completely panic.
16:19I'm so not in denial.
16:20But they're on at the same time.
16:23I can do both.
16:24I have to do both.
16:25Because if I don't, then I've got to somehow return 6,840 quid of Delma pay.
16:31But you don't even know how to cheer.
16:33What are you thinking?
16:34I literally don't even know.
16:37Which means it's time for a rewind.
16:41So I started off like, ooh, Auntie for Delma's coming to visit.
16:45I'll just learn how to cheer or have to pay back a lot of cash.
16:506,840 pounds.
16:53And then Holt was like, respect the Bible thingy.
16:57And then Nyla was like, just find a costume and walk around in it.
17:01And then Holt was like, I'm press mummy issues.
17:04And then Auntie for Delma was like, I cannot wait to see you perform at the chair meet tomorrow.
17:09Yay!
17:09But now the Vipers were like, we have a match at the same time.
17:13What are you thinking?
17:14I'm totally stuck.
17:17Which is why I'm going to do this.
17:24Oh!
17:25Oh!
17:27Ugh!
17:32Ugh!
17:47Ah, Aoife, what could your visit possibly be about?
17:53Grovel mode activated.
17:55Sir, I apologize for throwing this informative manual...
17:59Bible?
18:00Bible into the bin.
18:02And for disrespecting the noble arts of cheerleading.
18:06It's just, I've been in this scratchy costume for days now.
18:10And I've just waded through bin juice.
18:13So please, can you teach me to cheer?
18:20I can see that you have been entirely stripped of your dignity.
18:24Now, and only now, are you truly ready to learn.
18:29Rise.
18:32One, two, nine, ten.
18:34Yes, yes, yes.
18:35Again!
18:37Yes, sort of like that, but good.
18:40Position two.
18:40Position three.
18:42Position nine.
18:43Position four.
18:44Two, nine, four, eight, two.
18:46Yes, you're getting confused.
18:48Again!
18:49Yes, I like that.
18:50No!
18:51No!
18:51No!
18:52Good.
18:52No.
18:53Don't do that.
18:54I don't like that.
18:54Yes.
18:55Good.
18:56Yes.
18:56But less like a woodland animal.
18:58And again.
18:59And again.
19:00Yes!
19:01Yes!
19:01Yes!
19:02Exactly!
19:02No!
19:03No!
19:03Again!
19:05Oh!
19:08Oh, thank you very much for giving me this lever.
19:10Oh, listen.
19:10I want to talk to you about, though.
19:12Oh, no.
