Oh.

Look how they like you.

Oh, Tom, you only make things worse.

Having fun, are we? You might like
living like pigs, but we don't.

Pigs got a bad reputation. They're
actually very clean animals.

Oh, come on, Rose. Look at the state of
the place.

Worried about house prices.

You couldn't care less, could you?

One.

This is your final warning, Rose. Next
time I will call the police.

I wasn't trying to tell you that. We're
done next door.

This breakfast club idea seems to be
working now. Do you think anyone on

has just still got the same clue as me?

If you would spare my perfume, if you
like. Mr.

Ryan, Mr.

Lawson. I'll be two minutes, Janine. I'm
just popping to the office.

Matt, it's me.

It's supposed to be open, the
supervisor. Better get in here, now.

Right. Pick that up.

You there?

Right. Who threw that?

Get out of your bath.

Our supply is stuck in traffic and I
need someone to cover the first half of

this lesson one.

So who...

Right. Grantly, I believe that you have
some time free. I have, actually, but

it's my PPA time. Staff cannot be
redirected to undertake any other

including cover for absent colleagues.

Right.

I'll do it.

We were that enthusiastic once.

Enthusiastic, yes.

Brown nose or never.

Thank you very much, Davina. The problem
is, it's year 11 PSHE group.

Well, they've got to learn some time.

Experience and all that.

OK.

Right, well, I'll get Eddie to sort of
watch over you.

Listen, the supply teacher's here for
about three weeks and I believe he's

a character, so how about you follow him
for the day and we'll just see how he

deals with new classes.

Yeah, that'll be great.

OK, good. His name's Maka, Maka Lacey,
and I believe he's from New Zealand.

The lawyer!

Now, outside, now!

Out!

I thought

you were supposed to be doing the cover
sheet

today. Yes, sorry. Excuse me.

That breakfast plum is like World War
Flaming 3 plum.

No prizes for guessing who's helping Mel
with her extracurricular activities.

You had that shirt on yesterday, dirty
stuff -out.

Oh, come on, you could have just
pretended to be interested.

Some of us have more press and things in
our minds than that little tickle

-tackle thing.

Listen, I'm giving you earache.

I'm convinced that... Walk!

Something's going on. Oh, don't be so
daft.

Where have I got a man?

Just got you.

Frankly, can I give you a friendly word
of advice?

Nobody in their right mind wants to see
that thing staring back at them.

It makes you look like somebody of
Britain's most wanted.

Just have a quiet word with her.

Put her mind at rest.

Tom, we need to talk to you. Well, if
one seats you down, look, can it wait?

Well, it just...

Me and Donnie reckon it's time that we
had our own place.

Because of the galleys?

Well, we had to go sooner or later.

Yeah, I give him the satisfaction.

What?

We want to sell the house.

What have you thought about this?

We'll let your first bit of banners out,
Ike. If you want.

Yeah, but there's no rush, is there? I
mean, it's not exactly the best time to

sell, is it? We'll talk about it later,
yeah?

I just wanted to let you know as soon as
we decided.

Tom, did Maxine behave last night?

Hello?

She stayed at yours last night?

No, she didn't.

Yeah, her and Chloe had a study over.

No, I was round at the Kelly's this
morning. She was there with Earl.

She stayed at the Kelly's?

Are you going to be okay?

Yeah, yeah, I'll be fine.

I know I must have missed a lot of
stuff.

Well, you're no warrior.

Thanks.

Come on.

Settle down.

Right.

Let's make a start.

All blondes are bimbos.

I'd agree with that.

Yeah, and all boxers are stupid.

Today's lesson is going to be about
exploring stereotypes.

Understanding what stereotyping is.

And how this influences our own
behaviour.

Maxine.

Have a good night at clothes.

It was alright.

I know you were with him.

I thought we had an agreement.

We didn't do anything, I swear. I just
crashed there.

Maxine, I know what teenage boys are
like. They're not fussy about where

getting. He's not getting it from me.

And what did Rose have to say about you
staying over?

It was her idea. She reckons I can stay
whenever I like. Is that right?

I can take care of myself, Steph.

Hi. Marker Lacey.

You must be Rachel.

What a journey.

Two hours to travel 20 miles.

Really?

Actually, I'm not Rachel. My name's
Steph. Steph Haydock, head of French.

Oh, I'm so sorry, Steph.

I thought you were a little too young to
be headteacher.

Can you take me to your leader?

My pleasure.

Macca. It's a bit like Sir Paul
McCartney, isn't it?

I ain't cleaning this lot up.

I don't expect you to.

Right, Denise.

Can you identify the culprits, please?

It was Oliver.

Yes, but let's have names.

You're supposed to be a supervisor.

Told you this breakfast club idea were
no good.

Alex, you are such a bad person.

Alan, I'll call you right back.

Don't worry, Alan.

I'll see you now.

Liz, can I come and get changed?

Yes, you can, of course.

And it wasn't your fault, Janice.

It's not her fault. It is your fault.

How could you leave Janice in charge?

Well, there's something I had to do.
This thing hasn't stopped ringing all

morning. By all means, delegate.

But you've got to stay on top of things,
Melissa.

Adequate supervision at all times.

I'm really sorry, Rachel. I promise it
won't happen again.

What was it that was so important that
made you abandon Janice to the mob?

I'm not sure I buy that phone excuse.

Every time I call you, it's switched
off.

Well, I'll go and find you some
volunteers.

So we've got a definition.

A generalisation is a broad idea about a
group of people or things.

So, how do we arrive at these
generalisations?

Carla,

this is like my Asperger's. People
assume that I'm going to be difficult.

Just because they've met one person who
might be doesn't mean we all are.

Yes. That's excellent.

Yeah, and they say redheads have got a
bad temper.

They have.

Shut it, you!

OK, let's take a look at some of the
vocabulary used when stereotyping.

A little injunction, do's and don'ts,
and a list of troublemakers and

malcontents. They'll all get a clean
slate with me.

There's a lad on there, Earl Kelly.

Keep your eye on him. Trouble.

Miss Sapton, sorry for interrupting.

This is Mr Lacey.

Marker. Hello.

Davina's on her graduate training
course. I hope you don't mind if she

you for the rest of the day.

Or longer, even, if you don't mind.

No. No problem with me.

Great. Well, I'll leave you to it, then.
Thanks.

I've, um... I've been following this
lesson outline.

I can keep going if you want.

Stereotypes?

Nah, it's fine.

They're paying me to teach.

I never take money for nothing.

Kia ora.

I'm Mark Alaci.

I'm from New Zealand.

Miss, uh... Shackleton.

Miss Shackleton tells me you're doing
stereotypes.

Okay. Let's hear some of your first
impressions of me.

Why, you got quick tonight round your
neck?

Good morning, madam. Could I ask your
business?

I'm Fleur Budgen, Grantley's wife.

Oh.

Step right through. I'll just take you
back.

I'll just give you one of our visitors'
badges.

Thanks.

Right, I'll ring Mr Budgeon from the
staff.

Oh, no, it's all right. I don't want him
to know I'm here.

I'm here to see Steph A, Doc. We're
organising a surprise birthday party for

Grantley. Oh, right.

Right, Tal, I'll go and get Steph. Thank
you.

Maori have a very close kinship with our
environment.

We're what you'd refer to as tangata
whenua.

A what?

Tangata whenua.

It means people of the land.

What is he on about?

Michaela, there's no need to be rude.

I was only asking.

Ask away, Michaela. It's only through
curiosity that we learn about each

Come on, let's get a couple of you up on
your feet.

We're going to say hello to each other,
Maori style.

That's clearly dead.

I thought we paid you to deliver
extended services.

You know what?

There's something sexy about a woman in
marigolds.

The robber admitted.

I heard you took a bit of a bollock

in. Do you think you're going to get one
when she finds out about us?

No. At this rate, you're going to have
to get you a full -time secretary.

I can do my own dictation.

Hello, Melissa Ryan speaking.

My hands are a bit full at the moment,
I'm afraid.

The hongi, or the breath of life,
signifies that you are no longer a

the tanga de fenua.

Come on then.

Go on then, get stuck in.

Put your tongue in.

I can assure you there's nothing gay
about the honk.

Why have you got me rubbing him up
there?

That was very interesting.

I don't want to tell you how to do your
job, but normally we have to report

comments like that, you know?

Comments like what?

Well, the remarks some of the boys were
making.

Homophobic remarks.

By not challenging them, it looks like
you condone it.

Why didn't you challenge them?

I didn't think it was my place.

Exactly. And I feel fit to let it go.

It wouldn't make any difference if I
challenged them or not.

Homophobia, as you call it, is endemic
in all human culture.

Well, it may be endemic where you come
from.

But we have a code of conduct in this
school.

See, where I come from, you'd be guilty
of the same thing you accused those

boys.

I'm sorry?

Prejudice.

I'm not prejudiced.

No?

Where I come from, we have to report
comments like the one you've just made.

Why can't I get a cup of tea around
here?

You know about you, frankly.

Dave, I've known Claire Bodgen for
years.

Look. What is going on between me and
Grantley has got nothing to do with you.

I'm sorry, but it hasn't. Oh, that's
difficult. Have a heart, man.

The poor woman's organising a birthday
party for the man. Yes, I know she is,

and I'm helping her with it.

Fleur? Hiya, love.

Oh, thanks for seeing me, Steph.

He's not around, is he? No, don't worry
about him. He'll be having a cup of tea

with his racing paper in Stamford.

Hey, how'd it go?

He is so arrogant.

And he hasn't got a clue what he's
doing.

You know, I was halfway through a lesson
and the kids were really on tap.

And then he comes in and spends the rest
of it talking about himself.

I take it this is the supply teacher
you're talking about.

Stole your thunder, did he?

Tom, it's not funny.

He let the kids get away with making
really offensive remarks.

And then he accuses me of being
prejudiced. And if you talk with him for

rest of the day now... Um, hello?

I'm here.

Yeah, I was listening.

How come you're reading that?

You're thinking of selling off?

No. No one does, they are.

It's their house.

So what are you saying? We just let the
Kellys win.

Tom, it's not about winning.

It's about what's right for the girls.

Maybe me and you could buy it off them.
But then if I qualify, we're going to

have too good telleries coming in.

Are you serious?

Yeah, why not?

A range evaluation.

Nothing to lose.

Are you going to be okay?

I'm shadowing him, aren't I?

Yeah, but is that a good idea after
everything that's happened?

I'm a student, remember?

I do as I'm told.

Some schools are teaching, you never see
the heads on the corridor.

Well done you.

Now, listen, we asked Davina to stand in
to hold the floor just so you got here,

but I was hoping that she'd be able to,
well, sort of shadow you, I guess, just

while you're with us.

I found it very interesting. She was
giving a lecture on stereotypes when I

arrived.

Maybe she needs to be a pupil for a
little longer.

What do you mean?

Racism is such an emotive word. I don't
use it lightly.

But I think Davina is guilty of subtle
racism, hard to identify with just as

pernicious.

Got away with it without him seeing me.

Aye, aye, that you did.

Listen,

Fleur, how long have you known Steph?

Oh, she's worked with Grant with me for
years.

Ten, I think.

So she's a good mate, then? Oh, yeah,
she's been round ours loads of times.

Oh, I bet she has.

Listen, Fleur, if I was to tell you
something about Steph, you'd see that I

doing it to... I have absolutely no axe
to grind.

Do you know that?

I don't understand you.

Steph and Grantley, they're having an
affair.

It's true, Pet. They're lovers. They
have been for some time.

Who told you this?

Well, I had my suspicions as soon as I
came here, like, but Steph told me flat

out she admitted it.

Do you know...

I knew there'd been something up with my
grantly.

I'm sorry, Fleur, but I just couldn't...
Bonjour.

Je peux vous aider?

Come on, we went through this last week.

J 'ai pas d 'où?

Mon sac?

Ado?

Everybody just carry on with what you're
doing.

Fleur, you've...

Ruined my life.

I've had you in my house.

You've had your tea with us.

Fleur. Don't touch me.

I never want to see you again.

You're welcome to the miserable old sod.

Fleur, I don't know what you're talking
about. You're not making any sense.

Oh, come off it. Don't play daft. I've
heard it from the security man who's

it with his own eyes.

You're having an affair with my Grantly.

Fleur.

but a floozy.

Flo, come back. There's been a mistake.

Mistake is what it is, as he's about to
find out.

And what are you lot gawping at?

Davina, thanks for coming.

Right, well, I think we need to, well,
just clear the air a little, don't we?

It seems that in the last lesson, some
things are said, and Macca is alleging

that... I'm not alleging. I don't want
this to sound like we're in a court of

law. Sorry, Macca has informed me that
you made several barbed comments about

his background.

No, not at all.

All I said was, in our culture, we don't
stand for homophobia.

Maybe I can clear the air. Miss
Shackleton felt that I should have

and remarked a few of the boy's head.

I'll hold my hands up to that.

But as I explained, homophobia and...

I don't agree with it. It's part of not
just my culture, but all human cultures.

Yes, that may be true, but in our school
we have very strict anti

-discrimination policies.

Thanks to Miss Shackleton, I'm now aware
of the situation.

However, I did take great offence to the
way she appeared to ridicule my

culture, as if we were still living in
the dark ages.

No, that is not what I was saying at
all.

I didn't... Do you know what I think we
have here?

I think we have a very basic, simple
misunderstanding.

Okay, look.

I didn't mean to offend you.

And if I have, then I am truly sorry,
okay?

I have to vouch for Davina. I can't
imagine she'd try and insult you.

Look, you two have both got a free
period next, haven't you?

Davina, why don't you take Macca to meet
Melissa?

She's in charge of our adult education.

She's always on the lookout for a good
teacher.

Sounds good. Great.

Have a good day together.

Yeah, I'm sure we will.

Davina, can I just quickly... If he had
decided to push this, you could be in

real trouble.

Accusations of racism are not taken
lightly.

Racism? That's what he's claiming.

You've had to talk to him around.

Just be careful about what you say.

I saw the estate agent out tomorrow.

How much do you reckon we'll get?

Don't you? I can't just turf him out,
can I?

I reckon we're going to be able to
afford one of them flash apartments on

Deansgate.

How could you, Grantley?

You always did have a thing for bottle
blonds.

What?

No way!

What is wrong with you, woman?

Thirty -one years of marriage mean
nothing to you, Grantley.

I don't know what you're talking about.

I should have guessed there was
something going on when you went and got

rug. You're going mad.

Don't come a bit innocent with me,
Grantley, would you?

Everyone knows you've been having it off
with Step Aid, aren't you?

Do you find the low spec makes these a
little sluggish?

Personally, I'm not too keen on its
operating system.

You have a good set -up here, Mel.

Although, when I was in New Zealand, the
school I taught at offered much more to

its adult learners.

Let me guess, Macca's three favourite
topics of conversation.

Macca, Macca and Macca.

I'll be careful he doesn't know he's
already accused me of being racist.

But I'm insulted.

I'll do more than involve him if he
makes one more crack about my back.

Look, will you listen to me?

It's not true.

It is not true.

Look, do you want to know what I
thought?

I thought that it was you that was
having the affair.

But what do you think all this is about?

I was just trying to make myself look
younger for you.

So it's not true.

Of course it isn't.

Well, why did that security man say
different?

Because... Because he's a nosy sod who
thinks he's a lot more on the ball than

he actually is.

Yeah, really nosy.

Look at the pair of you.

You had me almost believing you there.

Fleur, you got it wrong. You might think
I'm daft, gladly budging.

But I'm not.

I think you could have done a lot
better.

is a haka, and it's over 200 years old.

It means the celebration of life over
death.

Sir, we're supposed to be doing the
Weimar Republic in Nazi Germany.

Please don't interrupt.

That's very rude.

I'm not being rude. I'm just stating a
fact.

The Maori culture is not on the history
GCSE syllabus.

Well, that's your loss.

Today we're going to be learning a
little about my heritage.

But if it's not on the syllabus, then
there's no point learning it.

You really are a very ill -mannered
young lady. Excuse me, Mr Lacey.

Carla doesn't mean to be rude. Thank
you, Miss Shackleton. When I need your

advice, I'll ask for it.

Let me tell you something, young lady.

If the Maori culture isn't on your
syllabus, then to coin a phrase, it

well should be.

And when I'm in charge, I'll tell you
what is and isn't on the syllabus.

It's not up to you what is or is not on
the syllabus. It's up to the exam board.

Sit down.

It's all right, Carla. You are
absolutely right. Miss Shackleton, sit

haven't finished with this girl. Now!

Can I have a word with you, Mr Lacey?

Outside, please.

Carla has Asperger's. Do you even know
what that is?

No. We've never heard of Asperger's
syndrome where I come from.

Care to enlighten me?

No. I've been watching you all morning
and you haven't taught these kids a

thing. Don't you dare tell me how to
teach my classes. Teach?

You can't teach. But talk about
yourself. Oh, yeah, you can do that.

I don't want you backing my lesson.

Well, that's not your decision.

Yes, it is.

You're out.

Thank you, Stephanie.

Oh, come on, Grantley.

She's soon going to realise I was
telling her the truth.

Especially when Dave ends up in court
for stalking me.

Look, I know I've been a ditzy cow.

Even if I do get through, there is still
the indignity of having my private life

the subject of gossip and open ridicule.
Would you like it?

And now I'm meant to face that class
again after such a humiliating

Well, you'd face them wearing that.

You don't want to see Clarkson, do you?

Give me the phone.

What phone?

And then if she wants more, hand over
the mobile phone.

Right, you lot, get your coursework
files out. It'll be two minutes.

Two minutes.

Earl?

No way.

You're going to get done, Earl.

Right, where?

Earl just walked out of Clarkson.

Where are you going?

He left me to meet him.

Tap your fingers and you just run.

I know, it's dead weird, isn't it?

I never really know where I am with him.

Excuse me.

That's a good thing.

Uh -oh.

Yes, you might well, uh -oh.

Look, Steph, call me old -fashioned, but
I can't stand by and let a decent woman

be cheated on by her husband.

Well, no thanks to you and your huffing
size 12.

Everything's sorted.

What, you mean she's forgiven him, like?

Yep. And me.

All out in the open.

So that's it? The end of the affair?

Yep. And just so you know, any chance
you might have had with me is well and

truly down the swanny.

Well, if you're free... I'm not free.

But you said... Yes, I know what I said.

What's going to happen when Clark gets
here?

Don't know.

Don't care.

You're going to get thrown out.

I've not made so much throwing anybody
out, so... Well, don't you care about

your education, exams and that?

You're dead clever.

Yeah?

I look cleverer than most of the
teachers in this place.

God, I love you.

I hope you do.

Do you love me?

Come on.

I'll show you.

I can't wait until tonight.

What does that mean?

I'd like to make a formal complaint
about the student teacher you settled me

with. Davina, what's happened now?

I've tried, Rachel.

I really have.

But I've never met anyone so obstructive
or unhelpful. I'm telling you, she's

one knacky piece of work.

Go, open the door.

Either that or I'll pick it up in
teaching.

Thanks, Max, for starting that itch.

Cooler, now.

You are such a wimp. I'm in a such a
coward.

She's your sister.

Tell her. I will.

Do it sensitively, yeah. She's still a
bit blonde. Look at you. She's got you

wrapped around her little finger.

Hello.

So this is where you're hiding?

Yeah, me and Mel were just talking about
the Davina situation.

Well, he's just made a formal complaint
against her. He is such a chancer.

God, honestly, Rachel, just tell him to
sling his hook.

What are you going to do?

I guess I'll speak with her.

Oh, I just really don't need this right
now.

Right, well, if you need any help, let
me know.

I, um...

Better go.

Right.

Thanks very much, Eddie.

Is there something wrong with him?

Look, Rachel, there's really no easy way
of telling you this.

Me and Eddie have been seeing each other
for a week.

Rachel, he is absolutely amazing.

He's hardly been home in two days.

You forget what that...

Every sign of a new relationship does
for you.

So when did this... Oh, my birthday?

You know what they say, sex is good
therapy.

And it's about time you got someone big
too.

Works wonders.

What's this I hear about your boys'
training session at lunchtime?

Oh yeah, we've got a league match after
school, so... What about my girls?

Well, it's hardly in the same level, is
it?

Meaning what exactly?

Girls'

football.

It's just a bit of fun, isn't it?

And what would you rather them do?

Cheerleading?

I'm sure you've had worse ideas than
that, Miss Cresci.

Yeah, one for Davina. I need a word.

Rachel!

Yes?

It's Earl Kelly.

I've just caught him with Maxine Barlow
in the toilets.

Right.

OK, give me a sec and I'll... Rachel,
this needs sorting now.

Right.

I think we both know what was going on,
Al.

It's a serious breach of school rules.

Now, normally you'd spend two days in
isolation away from Maxine Barlow.

What? But instead, Mr Clarkson and I are
going to arrange a meeting with your

mother to discuss your future.

Can't stop you and Maxine associating
outside the school gate, but in here it

a different matter.

Right?

Go on.

Get on your way.

He hates me.

I'm a family.

I don't hate anybody.

The lab's unhinged. He needs sorting
out.

Tom, I am aware of your home
circumstances in relation to the Kellys.

Yeah?

Is it beginning to affect your dealings
with his family?

No. Well, it's just Davina and the
supply teacher, and now they're... Why?

happened with Davina?

Nothing.

You just both seem to be struggling at
the moment. Well, it's probably sleep

deprivation. I mean, it hardly sets you
up for the day, does it? Well, that's

what I'm worried about.

But we're dealing with it.

I'm right about Earl Kelly, Rachel.

We haven't seen a half of what he's
capable of.

What's going on now?

Nothing for you to stick your fat oar
into.

That old Kelly's a flaming article.

Yeah, you're telling me.

Is Maxine in trouble?

No. Rachel's let him off with a flat
wrist.

Let them off with what?

You'll have to ask Maxine, Steph.

I mean, I'm not Clark Kent. I can't see
through toilet doors.

What's happened?

I caught him in the loo. Together.

Right, that's it. I want to see that
mother of his. Believe me, you don't

to do that.

I am not having Maxine hooking up with
another dead leg. No way.

Wait up.

A formal complaint.

It's me I should be complaining.

You know he's not actually teaching them
anything.

I mean, he shouted at Carla.

He even shouted at me.

Davina, I've tried my best to avoid
this.

I have to follow a procedure.

So what?

Do I need to get my union involved?

It'd be an idea to speak with him, yes.

No doubt Grantley would advise you on
your position.

Why am I getting the blame? No one's
getting the blame. Well, it sounds like

It is just a procedure, and it's one
that I'm hoping we can solve with

mediation.

Obviously, we'll have to pull you out of
Macca's classes.

Sit with me next lesson.

Yeah, just move me.

Don't tackle the real issue.

Davina, there is no issue. He's a supply
teacher.

Pretty obvious who's going to be
believed, then.

Come on, Davina.

I'll have a word.

Um, Eddie.

I just wanted to let you know that I
know about Melissa and you.

I don't know if congratulations is the
word, but, um... Yeah, congratulations.

Thanks.

It's early days.

Well, as long as it doesn't affect your
professional responsibilities.

Can't they?

Yeah. You know how another teacher makes
an accusation towards you? Oh, is this

about you giving our antipodean supply
teacher a hard time?

Oh, hello, I'm not actually a teacher
yet, but I'll tell you how to do your

Oh, and by the way, your country's 20
years behind the times.

I'll give you a word of warning. Be
careful what you say to people. It has a

of coming back and biting you on the
backside.

You OK?

No.

Right, I'm ready.

Bulletproof vest, the lot.

Don't ask.

We'll talk when I get back.

Hello, Mr Patrick, it's Rachel.

Yeah, Rachel Mason.

Hello.

I'm fine, thank you.

Yeah.

Well, I was just ringing to see if it's
possible for us to meet up and discuss

the options open to me.

Well, any time, really. Any time would
be fine.

Tonight? Tonight?

Yes, that would be fantastic.

Yeah, great.

Well, if that's all right with you, I'll
meet you here later.

OK.

Yes, thank you very much. Bye.

Aren't we playing outside today, miss?

No.

Mr Cleaver's booked a pitch for his
boys.

That's well out of order.

Well, unfortunately, not everyone's keen
on girls' football.

That's dead sexy, that is, miss.

Is that good, Janice? Do you know what
you suggested?

That we get rid of the girls' football
team and... What? Wait for it.

Form a cheerleading squad.

What? Oh, there's a cheerleader.

Let him bring it on.

That'd be mean.

Hey, but everyone knows that the
cheerleader gets the fit blood. Yeah,

mind the sexy girl.

Hey, if I was fancy to go there, plump
plump. Give us a W.

A. T.

E.

You here for the evaluation?

I'm Tom Clark, then.

Matthew?

Good luck.

You from the social?

No, I'm Steph Haydock.

Teacher at Waterloo Road. I'm Maxine's
guardian.

Can I come in? Have you got ID?

Um... What a bank card do?

It was a joke.

I know who you are.

Still not coming in.

Right then, I'll get straight to the
point.

Maxine is leading me a merry dance at
the minute.

Yeah, she's a character.

Took a boot to the wall to shut herself
an hour off last night.

Listen, if you're here to have a go at
me for letting them sleep together,

you're wasting your time.

How long have you lived here?

Two years.

Well, I don't actually own it.

It's my ex -girlfriend's house.

Well, it's now owned by her two girls.
I'm just living here with my new

Good neighbours?

Yeah, they're OK. They've got kids, but
we've had quite a few clients in this

street in the last month.

They're not selling.

That'll put any buyer off.

Look, I'm appealing to you as a mother.

They've been caught... They've been
caught in the toilets together at

Oh, come on.

Don't tell me you've never had your arse
up against a bog door.

Do you know, I'm sorry, I thought that
we could have a reasonable conversation.

Oh, and by the way, Tom's thinking of
selling.

I might have been interested, but now I
know he's living next door to the town

dump. I don't think I'll bother.

Six months ago, I'd have said you'd be
looking at 200 grand.

And now, you're going to have to compete
with the rest of the street.

Well, now I know why you call her the
neighbour from hell.

What?

Let me guess.

Mr. Lacey.

All I need is one more accusation
against me and I'm looking for a new

No way.

It's not coming back on you being
branded a racist.

It's not going to come to that.

Can't we do something else? This is
really boring me.

Might as well go home.

OK, everyone.

Who can tell me the capital of New
Zealand?

Wellington.

Do me a favour.

Knit to the library and get me a book on
20th century European history.

Me?

Yeah.

Take your time.

Something with lots of effects.

Boom!

What's been saying you've been calling
that New Zealand teacher?

What are you on about?

You know, being dead racist and that.

And who's been saying this?

You don't know?

I think it's dead tight, though.

And if she was racist to me, I'd have
her sacked.

Yeah, you're right.

Come on.

You think you're so much better than me
and my family, don't you?

Why are you out of your class?

And this from a guy who moves from
blonde slapper into the couple of months

after his girlfriend gets sliced.

Oh, yeah.

I've had all the juicy gossip.

I wouldn't mind a piece of that divina
myself.

Dying to have a pop at me, aren't you?

You're making the biggest mistake of
your life, son.

Dad, where have you been all my life?

Is it true what they say about Davina?

She's like some young... You

see?

You're just like me. Get out.

Oh, don't worry, Tom.

It's just David... Get out!

Don't you think things are so much
better when they're out in the open?

And I was like, mate, if you don't
move... Girls, you can go and take a

you want.

But I

tell

you what, the girls in Glasgow, mate,
oh!

I don't know what the hell class
happened by now.

What are you doing out of class, lad?

That new teacher let me out to go
library.

Oh, silly now.

Library's that way.

Ah, throw it in.

Follow me.

Personally, I'm a bit of an Arsenal fan.
Come on.

Found this lot wandering round the
corridors.

Can I have a word outside?

Quiet!

The lad, Earl

Kelly.

You remember?

The one that said not to let out your
sight.

Yes, sure.

Betham? Why did you choose him to go to
the library?

Luck of the draw, I guess, Eddie.

And the others?

I like to give my students a bit of
freedom.

Okay.

Well, we've got a bit of a health and
safety issue here, haven't we, Maka?

Point taken.

Eddie, I'll lasso them to the chair.

No worries.

Rachel.

I'm resigning as head of pastoral care.

What? What's going on? The Kellys. Look,
I can't be head of pastoral care while

they're still here.

Oh, come on, Tom. I know I have my
concerns about you and the Kellys, but

about your ability to do the job.

Well, you don't need to concern yourself
anymore.

Wait a minute. Well, tell me what's
happened.

I almost hit Bill. Rachel, I think
Davina was right.

Can you just wait? I'm not sure I'm
going to be able to stop myself next

In fact, I know that I won't.

He came into the office goading me up.

I was that close to putting him through
a window.

Bill Kelly?

Yeah. When?

Half an hour ago.

Look, I'll put it down in writing
straight away in case I change my mind.

OK, Tom, you need to think about this
when you've calmed down. This isn't up

debate, Rachel.

I'm resigning.

Come on, Tom, please!

Great.

That's all we need.

McAleese is responsible for this.

Excuse me?

He let Earl wander around the school
when I specifically told him to keep him

lessons.

Finn, can you come with me?

Come on.

Lacey.

Um, they were just having a chat.

They've worked pretty well.

Right.

You're getting an easy time of it, huh?

We can sit and chat at lunch and break
times.

Because idleness is not an option in
year 12, is it?

Miss Shafton.

Thank you, Miss Mason.

Can I have a word with you and can you
bring your stuff?

So, has everyone got a copy of the
textbook?

We're going to be discussing medieval
Britain.

First page, fourth.

Scotland in the Middle Ages, Section B,
The War of Independence.

Does anyone have any questions?

You know, today I was reminded of just
how important every single lesson is.

What a difference a conscientious
teacher can make.

That's why we came into the profession.

I don't think you were making much of a
difference today, were you, Michael?

I think I gave him something different,
yeah.

Well, thanks to Davina, those kids are
going to be going home with a hell of a

lot more than they would have done if
you'd let them sit and chat all day.

You can register your hours in the
office.

Oh, and as for your formal complaint, if
you decide to pursue it, you should

know that I'm going to be backing Davina
the whole way.

She cares about children.

I don't know what you care about. It's
certainly not our kids.

Your kids?

You talk about them like they're little
angels.

Half of them are a bunch of whining
little bullies.

And the other half don't even have the
brains they were born with.

No worries.

I wouldn't come back here if you begged
me.

Sorry, have you been waiting long?

No.

You okay?

Yeah.

Well, I've had better days.

No, I'm fine.

What say we ditch these tools out on the
lash, eh?

Thanks. Well, haven't you two got a flat
to buy?

We're buying you out.

The house is worth about 150 grand, so
you should have a fair whack to put down

as a deposit, if that's what you want.

Well, when can this happen?

Sooner.

Right, well, come on, B.

We're going to hit the town.

Cheers.

Nina.

Look, as you might have guessed, my
palacey is not coming back.

You're dead right, Davina. He's a lazy,
waste of space. I told her. I said not

to spend any methane from him, didn't I?
And if it weren't for his incompetence,

you'd never have had that conflict with
little Kelly.

Yeah, so we've got a proposition for
you.

Yeah, we understand how hard it is for
you to separate home and school at the

moment. So, as from today, I'll be
handling everything to do with the

Let's see it as you avoiding a conflict
of interest.

Thank you. I'll think about it.

Good. I'll see you later.

Have a good night.

You better come and take a look at this.

Well, I'm just going to.

Ah, okay.

Five, six, seven, eight. What's the
loop, Rose?

Ready? Okay.

Give me a W, A, D, E, R, L, O, O.

What do you get?

What's the loop?

I couldn't stop him ever since I
mentioned it.

What are we going to do with Bill today?

Hello boys, what's up?

He's the fittest teacher ever, ever seen
in my life.

Hey pal, what do you think?

It's alright.

Do you not think it's a bit sexier?

A bit short, innit? It's sexier later.

Well, I will.

What

the...

I thought you might want these.

They probably mean more to you than I
did.

Now, come on, love.

Hmm?

Let's be reasonable.

No, that's it, Grantley. You needn't
bother coming back to the house.

Fleur, this is ludicrous. What are you
doing?

Your best shirt and tie's there if you
want to impress her.

It's over, Grantley.

I just hope she's worth it.

Hi, hello.

Thank you so much for seeing me. No
trouble.

And please, Benjamin.

Benjamin, OK.

Shall we go somewhere?

Do you know, why don't we go somewhere a
little more private?

Shall we?

Just where you think you've seen the
buffalo today.

Benjamin, this is Melissa.

Actually, you must have... And this is
Eddie, my deputy.

Oh, my deputy.

No flag on you. Where have you been
hiding them from?

I'm sorry, I'm... Actually, we were just
heading off, weren't we? Somewhere

expensive, I hope. I heard that new
place in town's really nice.

Right.

See you tomorrow.

That is a woman in love.

Honestly, Maxine, she's like one of them
women you'd find in the jungle.

Like she's been raised by wolves or
something.

I'm telling you, she's wild. That lad is
trouble.

I've heard yet.

This is my final year. I'm not going to
chuck it all away for a lad who's in

year 11.

Good.

Steph, is it true you're shagging Mr
Budger?

Max, I might be desperate, but even I've
got some standards. So why is he on our

doorstep?

Rachel, I'm not really sure what
happened there, but... I'm really sorry,

Well, I just didn't want to explain
things in front of them.

Yeah, this has to be strictly doctor
-patient.

There's no misunderstanding here.

Absolutely not, no.

Perhaps I should have arranged it for
the surgery.

Yeah, of course, of course.

Look, why don't you call my secretary in
the morning? I will.

I will.

Sure we should buy them out.

I'm not going to let the Kellys be.

No way.

If that means we're the last people on
the street, then the traffic noise will

be down.

My God, what's that?

Not even he's capable of this.
