All language subtitles for Waterloo Road s09e06.eng

I am a teacher at your school.

No you're not. You're just a feeble old
man in pyjamas.

I put my faith in you and you have let
me down. I need you to

come through for me and first I'm
raising my faith.

Okay. I'll have you kicked out of here
quicker than your feet can touch the

ground. You wouldn't do that.

Try me. You know if you're just doing
this to get at me Connor it's working.

Yeah that's it because it's all about
you isn't it?

Coming back to school.

All done?

This isn't going to be our life forever,
you know.

We're going to do things.

Lots of things.

Cheltenham Festival?

Horse racing? No, no, I mean... I mean,
I'm talking about seeing the world.

All the historical sites.

The Hanging Gardens of Babylon.

They were a poetic creation.

What, you mean they're not real?

No, but if they were, I'd like to see
them with you.

I love you, Grantley Budgin.

You do know that, don't you?

You really think giving up mandarin to
chopped vegetables is a good career

Mum, get off my case.

You know, I could give you a hard time.

Oh, is that right?

Yeah. Like the empty bottle of vodka I
found in the bin last week.

I did not drink a drop of that. It went
straight down the sink. I know.

Trust me. I've always known you've been
drinking.

Right, bang.

Oh, I've got to figure the journey.

I am not an invalid.

I think I can manage to walk to the
local shop.

Do you want some breakfast?

Will you lot shut up?

I cannot hear myself think.

I'm sorry? Why don't you sit down? I'll
bring you toast.

Going back to work after a long break is
not easy.

I'm fine. There's no need to worry.

Oh, good luck, Casey.

Yeah, watch you don't get your brain
scrambled, Casey.

I like yours this already, you mean.

I'm going to come back and wave my medal
in your face.

What medal?

She wants to go for the Commonwealth
Games.

She can do it, can't she, miss?

It's going to take some doing, Casey.

Well, you said she was talented.

Well, anything's possible, but... Do you
know what? It's good to have a go.

Yeah, why not?

Hey.

Case reckons she's going to walk it
today, Baz.

Ha -ha!

Reckons she'll get battered.

Yeah?

Oh, no, no, no. I don't mean she's not
good or anything. I just mean she's not

going to walk it.

It's no contest.

She will get battered.

The girl she's fighting has been boxing
for ages.

I have proper training and everything.

The only thing I can do is make loads of
money out of it.

Tell everyone she's going to win. Do you
hear me?

I don't want to be late for the first
day back, so...

Come on, love.

You can take it standing on your head.

I don't want to go back anymore.

Can't do it. You can.

Can't do it.

Christine is expecting you.

You're not giving up 20 years from the
door.

I think after nearly 40 years, I've
learned my right.

Well, I don't want you to give up.

You have not been through hell these
past few months just to jack it all in.

Look at our kid.

They look up to you.

Let's just get today over with, hmm?

I suppose one day won't make any
difference.

Who knows what deadly bacilli are
lurking in this place.

Currently, it's lovely to see you.

Thanks. I wish I could say the feeling
of mutual... Oh.

Listen to him.

Sorry, excuse me.

Have you cleaned in here?

Aye. Really?

Well, it doesn't look like it.

I'm a cleaner, not a dishwasher.

But surely part of your responsibility
is to tidy this room, is it not? Well,

I'm two cleaners down, and all I've got
is a wee lassie from Moldova. I can't be

everywhere. Might I remind you that you
and your cleaning staff are employed

directly by the school?

Easy up. Pompous little... Excuse us.

We need to have a word with Christy.

To ease you back in, Maggie and I
thought you might like to help out with

National Schools Poetry Competition this
morning.

I thought Tom's do... I mean, I thought
he'd done that.

He didn't finish it.

And today's the last day to pick
Waterloo Road submission.

I've arranged for a presentation in a
lecture theatre after school and I need

you to work your magic.

Get the poems up to scratch and then
pick the winning entry.

You'll do a great job, Christine, won't
you?

Oh, of course.

I don't mind playing St Jude for the
day.

Thanks, Grantley.

And it is really great to have you back.

I'm sorry, Christine.

He was mad keen to get back. I don't
know what's got into him. Are you sure

not coming back too soon?

He'll be fine when he gets a few lessons
under his belt.

You two out for a stroll or on your way
to class?

Out of the way.

He's a stuck -up so -and -so, that
Windsor.

Don't you worry, old guppet.

He won't make a fool of me again.

Biggest mistake he ever made.

Just talk to her.

I'm not saying she'll forgive you, but
she'll talk to you. And that'll make

things a lot less awkward for us.

Hi. Hi.

Hi. I'm really looking forward to see
Katie Box today.

Don't talk to her.

She doesn't want anything to do with
you.

I can speak for myself, Paddy.

But he's right.

I've got enough to say to you.

Commonwealth Games?

I know.

It's ambitious, but she's really up for
it.

Are you sure she's good enough? It's not
really your area of expertise, is it? I

know I'm no coach, but I know talent and
ambition when I see it. But as you say,

you're... No coach.

Sorry I'm late. Just supervising the
boxing ring being delivered.

We're all set.

Just remember the PTE. Aren't you happy
about it? It's going to be a great

event. It's all down to Nicky here.

Casey's going to do us proud.

I know she will.

Long term, she's going to need financial
backing.

I've got a student council meeting
today. I'll put fundraising for her on

agenda. Well, we can discuss that at a
later date.

Nicky, I hope it all goes well.

Thank you.

Simon, NQT observations. I haven't had a
chance to see one of Sue's classes yet.

How's she doing?

No problem.

Really hitting the ground running.

Moving forward, let's hope we'll all be
on the same page.

Indeed, singing from the same hymn
sheet.

That's the first time I've seen you
smile since Princess left.

Was that a smile?

I suppose it was.

Well, I'm assuming that Mr Clarkson has
filed your poems somewhere.

We haven't even wrote them yet, sir.

Right. Well, the general rule of poetry
used to be simple.

Nowadays, practically anything passes as
poetry.

Do you mean like pop songs?

Oh, and rap.

Rap. I am not reading any of that
rubbish.

Just remember it is easiest to write
about something you know well, that you

care about.

Sir, can I use my laptop?

Providing it's used appropriately and
there's no copying from the internet.

So we want to determine the order of the
reaction in respect to... In

respect to the hydrogen ions.

Now, as you know, iodate... As you know,
the iodate ions are an oxidising agent

which... which react with sulphate ions
in acidic pollution...

to produce... Miss, are you going to let
them do

that? They don't want to learn, then.
That's their business.

No, but I do. And I want, if you can't
control them... You'd better not teach

them, I say.

Oh, pass the sick bar.

I've just realised I've lost a mini in
the stuff room.

Job centre open to ten, miss.

Hmm. Right.

I'd like to hear a few opening lines, if
possible.

Lula, you've had technological support,
anything?

Um, I'm still doing my research.

Holler's finished.

Mr Taylor, let's hear it. Right, pin
back your luggles, everyone. Here comes

Waterloo Road Diamond Armitage.

Um, for you.

If I could pray your pain away, I surely
would.

If I could hold you fast until your fear
had passed, I'd try.

If I could cry your weary... Stop!

Perhaps Mr Clarkson didn't make it
clear, but entries for the competition

be original pieces of work.

Copying and pasting from the internet is
strictly verboten.

I didn't copy it.

You can't kid a kidder, son. I saw you
on that thing. I was helping Lula.

I did this.

I did, didn't I?

Sorry. Enough.

I don't want to hear it.

Heads down, you've got until break.

Look ahead.

I'm talking about our future.

Life, death, marriage.

Are you OK with me?

Absolutely. Never better.

I mean, I know what I want to do with my
life.

Give up teaching?

No, Imogen. Get married.

I am having the works. Vintage car,
church.

Sickeningly expensive dress.

Oh, that sounds amazing.

It's all set. I'm going to be a
princess.

I thought marriage was about how much
you love someone and not about how you

look. Mr. Loadley is my dream man and he
wants me to look my best.

Just like when he first saw you, miss.

In the unlikely event of crashing into
the sea, please blow into this whistle

keep the sharks away.

Actually, Barry, you've got the moves
all wrong.

passing the jacket over your head, past
the straps around your waist. Once

outside the aircraft, the jacket can be
inflated by pulling down on the toggles.

A light and a whistle are provided to
attract attention.

Toot -toot!

There was a young man from Leeds.

He swallowed a packet of seeds.

He grew some grass on his under... I
couldn't fart for weeks.

Thank you, Pam Airs.

I don't think infantile limericks was
what Mr Clarkson had in mind.

Sir, I finished mine.

It's called Scream.

My blood runs to keep you warm and fill
your belly.

My skin twisted in pain like a newborn
baby.

My pain is your gain.

A life lived short like a butterfly and
squashed like a bug.

Hear my scream.

Really rather good.

I would tone down some of the similes,
but the message of the poem is clear.

Perhaps a little too clear.

Right, well, get on with it, everyone.
We haven't got long. Good effort.

Ted Hughes, amazing powers of
observation. Try and capture some

of that in yours.

Without copying.

Hello. How are you feeling?

Your little effort at breaking me in
gently isn't working.

Complete waste of time.

So far, I've had one decent effort,
plagiarism and a bunch of limericks.

I'll be expecting too much of him.

Keep pushing him.

He'll come round.

Entree, entree, don't I sell the class?

Oh, my God!

Someone's a laggy, sir.

Quiet!

Right. Sweep it in one.

It's too hard.

Just use words that express your
feelings.

I have done.

Swag.

Swag. Swag on you, chilling by the fire
while we eat in

fondue.

But, sir, is that not a Justin Bieber
song?

I've had enough plagiarism for one day.

Look, W .H.

Auden. One of the greatest writers of
the 20th century said that

a poet is, before anything, someone who
is passionately in love with language.

Now, I am no Orden, but I've always
loved words.

Their diversity, their malleability,
their malleability.

Above all else, their sound.

Rhiannon, what's your favourite word?

Donuts.

We all know money's yours, Barry.

Too right.

I'm running a book on the boxing match.

Right.

Let's make a start. I want everyone to
make a list of their favourite words. No

profanities. What's your favourite word,
sir?

Me? I like cacophonous words.

Words that have a harsh, Or unpleasant
sound.

Like what?

Putrid. Popular.

Pratt. Prude.

Pickle. Pimple.

Poppycock. And that's just a piece.

Christine, we've got a problem. I need
to talk to you. All right, all right.

You've got to come barking in here. Quit
out there.

This better be good.

That cleaner has exacted her revenge by
dumping rubbish all over my desk.

I had to remind her of her duties this
morning, and I don't think she took too

kindly to the rebuke.

Did you actually see her do it?

No, it was obviously her.

Well, you don't know that. Sounds like
kids playing a trick.

They wouldn't dare. She would. She's
just the type.

And what type is that?

I think you should just get rid of them
all.

In Japan, you know, children clean their
own schools. George, you're annoyed.

But there's a class out there that
should be in a lesson.

Sponsored clean.

We should get the children to raise
money by cleaning the school.

It's genius.

I can see a twinkle in your eye. I think
you're hot on the idea, are you not?

Look, take it to the school council. If
they think it's any merit, I will think

about it.

Right.

I shall.

After you've finished teaching that lot?

Of course.

Right, you've

all got a copy of the agenda, so item
one is... Sir, I'd like to add something

to this.

It's about Miss Bark.

Miss Bark?

What about her?

Well, she can't teach for one.

This morning she spent the full lesson
talking about marriage and showing us

skills as a flight attendant.

Well, Miss Boxlitten isn't on the
agenda, so... Yeah, but we really think

somebody should... It's not on the
agenda, OK?

Can we just move on, please?

Tennessee.

Oh, Casey's boxing gear.

That's Gabby.

If she's going to be in the Commonwealth
Games, then she needs some proper

equipment. That's really soon. Yeah, so
she's good enough.

Yeah, we'd all agree with that, didn't
we?

I think what we should do is... Don't
wake up here and absolute silence.

I wonder if I could address the school
council.

Well, er... I'd like, if I may, to pitch
a little idea of mine to you to raise

much -needed school funds.

And the idea is a sponsored clean of the
school.

A sponsored clean.

Yep.

Kill two birds with one rock.

Raise money and get a nice clean school.

Right.

Let's put it to a vote, shall we?

Anybody want to put on rubber gloves and
scrub floors?

is not good, Katie.

You're capable of way better than this.

Miss, I've had no time.

I'm sorry to interrupt.

Can I borrow Katie's pre -fight routine?

Well, see what all that training's
leading to?

A five -year -old could have done that.

She's trying her best.

Aren't you?

I'm sorry.

I'm just a bit up to here with
everything at the minute.

I'll make sure she gets it done
properly.

Come on.

Miss, I've left my homework in my
locker.

Oh, here we go. Another Jackanory.

What? Nothing.

Go and get it.

Very, very.

I'll have 50 quid on the half of a girl.

Are you sure?

I've heard she's got arms longer than my
small intestine.

Right, well, 50 quid it is.

Evens. I'll give you the money later.

Hey!

I won't see the bet.

I know.

Your kids are going to get slaughtered.
No.

And I'll be the one doing the
slaughtering if I hear you repeat that.

So can I have a word, please?

I hope you haven't come to protest your
innocence again.

No, Barry's just trying to rip you off.

You know, with a boxing.

How do you mean?

He's going to win.

Barry knows the other girl. He's just
threatened her to make a move.

I don't care if you didn't do it. Get it
cleaned, please.

Aha.

Thank you.

Ooh. At least you're smiling now and not
shouting because Budgie didn't like

your little poem.

Yeah, whatever, Darren.

Ooh, little poem I wrote. Shut up,
Darren. I'm not joking.

Right, what is it with you and your old
cherry face anyway? Shut up! Shut up!

You over there.

You.

I've got enough

on my plate today without you two trying
to lock lumps out of each other.

Darren's been winding me up about my
poem.

The one you've been doing with Mr
Budgin? You think I've copied it?

And did you?

No, I've spent ages doing it.

I'm not bothered.

Budgin thinks I'm a liar, so what?

Harley. He doesn't.

He's just... He's not himself today.

I'll tell you what.

I'll have a word with him. Give me the
poem. I'll make sure he reads it.

I can't.

I've trucked it away.

I know, but... Just save it.

Here.

I've got your money.

50 quid.

Casey, I thought you were better on
YouTube.

You thought I was born yesterday. You
got a problem with that?

No, no.

50 on Casey.

Good luck.

Hiya, love.

Listen, I've just had a word with Harley
and he's pretty upset about that porn

thing. That's because it's not his poem.
He lifted it off the internet.

He says he didn't. And I know a fraud
when I see one.

Okay, don't have to bite my head off.

I'm having this in the staff room.

I thought I told you to back off, Miss
Spock.

I did.

But then she went off on one.

If you ask me, she's a bit, well, you
know.

He's protecting her.

I would do the same for you.

But she's waiting on chances of getting
into uni.

Hi. How's Katie doing?

I'm not hungry.

You like that?

Yeah, what?

See you later.

I have a feeling she's not going to
forgive you.

Maybe it's time to move on, mate.

Thank you, Lula, yes, I'll read it now.
Sir, can I talk to you about Harley?

Finally.

A decent piece of work.

Have him one of those days.

It gets easier, believe me. Why don't
they listen?

All this chattering and the questions.

I just want to teach science to people
that want to learn.

You walk into the room, you look
confident.

You give them a scowl.

Never smile before half term.

I've tried that. It lasts about two
seconds.

Don't! Answer questions like, where do
you get your top, miss?

Or, are we doing something good today,
miss?

Now, let the room go silent.

Have something prepared, something
simple that they can't question.

You make it sound so easy.

Well, it's nearly 40 years of
experience, but then...

Once in a blue moon, you uncover...

A diamond.

I thought that it might give him the
lift, but it hasn't.

I'll give him a chance. He's coming back
to this lot at walk in the corridor.

I know, I know. I just worry that he's
going to give up on life and everything.

Well, you've got to convince him that
there is life beyond this place, beyond

that machine he hooks himself up to.

Yeah.

Listen, you'd better get off.

Maggie. I know you're thinking
something.

Good morning, Miss Bellsmith.

Good practice.

Yeah, yeah.

Do you think I'll lose?

Really joking.

No worries, eh?

None. And you've got the whole school
backing you.

Are you not a little bit nervous?

Why would I be nervous?

You've got what it takes in here and in
here.

All right? Remember that.

Yes.

I had to defend you earlier at the
student council.

Imogen Saju, I told everyone about your
here comes the bride lesson.

Well, yeah, I was telling them about our
wedding. You spent half the lesson

talking about it.

They liked it.

Even Barry, I think.

Are you serious?

Sue, you have got to get a grip.

Our jobs could be on the line if anyone
finds out. Oh, worried about your

precious career.

Of course I'm worried about it.

Are you OK?

No. I had support with Barry, and now
you're having a go at me. You know what

mean. Would you take us?

Get up.

My bag!

Just head to the box, then.

You know, I'm afraid I find public
displays of aggression a little

take. I mean, we preach tolerance, non
-violence... It'll take a bit more than

your sober tongue to get people
scrubbing floors.

What's wrong with a silver tongue?

Aren't you supposed to be supervising
the car?

France?

Food's horrible.

What about grief?

You can't put paper down the toilet
after you've done your business. I'm not

having that.

How many did you take?

Two. How many?

Two, I think. Two. You think?

Can you imagine if Christian had seen
you just spaced out?

I'm sorry, OK, but you weren't there.

They were horrible for me.

Stop crying, all right? Somebody might
come in.

I thought you were done with these
months ago. You said all that anxiety

behind you.

It is.

They were left over from before.

I hate this school.

Hey, nice clean face. Let's go on.

Casey, come here, come here.

You can do this. Alright, you can do
this.

One,

two, three, four, five, six, seven,
eight.

He works with alcohol.

You've got to try something. Just keep
drinking it.

I've got to go to the box inn.

You hate me.

No, no, I don't hate you.

But we are getting married.

And you're hiding stuff from me.

What are you going to do?

She's really strong.

Look, you're already really behind on
points.

That's it, I should stop it.

No way.

You can't do that.

Rita?

What? Did you see what he just did?

Ignore him.

Second down.

Second down.

Concentrate. Right.

No, this way.

What have you been?

I, um, got caught up in something.

I'll tell you after.

You stitched me up.

Yeah, I did.

You're not very good at telling when
people are lying to you, are you, sir?

I told you the truth about my poem.

And you didn't believe me, did you?

I lied about Casey and you did.

Sure, not like this in front of
everybody.

Oh, I'm an idiot.

A complete and utter idiot.

Well, you have your moments.

Book the holiday anywhere, I don't care.

Where are you going?

To see a boy about a poem.

Well, Nicky clearly overplayed her
abilities.

That's a bit harsh.

What were you going to tell me about
earlier?

Nothing, it doesn't matter.

Look, I'm going to check on Casey.

Okay, settle down.

Well, let's hope all that violence
hasn't dulled your senses.

We seem a bit thin on the ground, don't
we, everybody?

Everyone's doing gymnasts.

Audrey, could I have a... Sorry, Miss
McCall.

Could I have a word with Harley, please?

Yes, of course.

I owe you an apology.

A big one.

Your poem?

Can you tell me something about it?

Where you got your inspiration?

Well, there was a clue in the title.

For you.

Wait a minute.

You're saying that you wrote that for
me?

and said to write a poem about someone
to look up to.

Someone of you to look up to.

You were the one who got me into
reading.

Mm.

Capture in the Rye.

Right, what have you done with that
poem?

I've thrown that in the bin, in the
toilets.

Yeah, but you remember it off by heart.

No, I don't care about the... Stupid
competition anyway.

It's all my fault.

I've been telling her she's the best
thing to do.

Don't say not, Kevin.

No, I wasn't going to.

I thought you did really well for a
first fight.

How are you going to face everyone after
that?

Okay, everyone.

Meet me back to class, please.

We want Casey!

We want Casey.

We want Casey. Come on. We want Casey.
We want Casey. We want Casey. We want

Casey. We want Casey. She wants Casey.

She wants Casey. She wants Casey. She
wants Casey. She wants Casey. She wants

Casey. She wants Casey. She wants Casey.
She wants Casey. She wants Casey. She

wants Casey. She wants Casey. She wants
Casey. She wants Casey. She wants Casey.

She wants Casey. She wants Casey. She
wants Casey.

She wants Casey. She wants Casey. She
wants Casey.

She wants Casey.

She wants Casey. She wants Casey. She
wants Casey.

She wants Casey. She wants Casey. She
wants Casey. She wants Casey.

She wants Casey.

Don't believe it.

They shouted for you.

Come on. No way.

I'm not showing my face in there.

They wanted to see you.

Tell you how well they did.

And how proud they are of you.

Like I am.

It's been a loss.

3 -1, Casey.

Okay,

okay.

Casey, today, without any formal boxing
training.

You got in that ring with someone much
more experienced and showed it all, a

thing or two about guts and
determination.

And so we are going to work hard to make
sure you get professional coaching.

Mr Windsor has come up with an excellent
idea.

I'm looking for ten volunteers to take
part in the first -ever school

clean starting today, and I'm going to
kick it off by sponsoring those ten

people £5 each.

So come on, who's up for it?

Yep, I'm in.

Kevin, thank you.

I'll do it, miss, if someone is going to
our KC. You have my word. Every penny

earned from this scheme will go to KC.

The bin.

From the boys' toilets. Which one?

Er, let me think.

One of the black ones, I think. Oh, ha,
ha. Very funny. Look, I am looking for

something very important. Do you happen
to remember the position that the refuse

from the boys' toilets was placed?

Hang on. I've written it down somewhere.

Sorry. Lost it.

Whatever it is you've lost, you'd better
hurry up and find it.

That lot's going to the tip this
afternoon.

Dinesh. Sorry, me? She's not allowed
phone rings like that?

Yeah.

Mm -hmm.

What now?

We'll be with you in the hour.

Get back here, Mr. Dinesh.

Draw.

I'm fine.

Just needed a snack.

We told anyone.

Good job I had a free period.

So, you bring every problem to me from
now on, yeah?

What are you playing at?

I've been looking all over for you.

I'm looking for Harley's poem.

Have you gone doolally or what?

Get out of there. I've got to find it.

Grantley, the hospital called Mr Dinesh.
What did he want?

Oh, oh, nothing much. He only wants to
give you a new kidney.

We have to go straight away.

What, now? Yes, now, Grantley, now. Get
out of the bed before your blood

pressure goes through the roof. But I've
got... Listen, listen, Grantley. Listen

to this.

A new kidney.

It's what we've been waiting for.

Good news.

It's brilliant news.

Give me two minutes.

I know it's in here somewhere. What?

I believe you made a bit of money out of
Katie today.

I've not had a bad day, yeah.

So you'll be helping her out with
sponsorship?

You are joking, aren't you?

If she wants to get her brain damaged,
that's up to her.

You should never have let her in that
ring.

I let her down, I know that.

But... I'm not going to just abandon
her. You know, I might fork out for a

plasters for the next fight.

I thought you buried stuck together.

Casey's got guts.

To lose like that and then come back and
face people, I couldn't have done it.

Grantley, we have got to get going.

Keep looking. I can't let the lad down
again.

You have a kidney waiting for you. It's
a stupid poem.

It's not stupid to him. He's put his
heart and soul into it.

Right, fine, don't mind me. Don't mind
me. All the worrying I've been doing,

the sleepless nights.

Do you know something, Grantley Budgeon?
You can go on holiday yourself.

You can just... Hey, I've got it.

Good.

Now, can we please...

Get going.

I need two A's and a B.

I have no chance that she keeps teaching
us.

Mum will listen to it, but we need
backup.

Thanks for giving our Casey that support
before.

No problem.

Does it mean we're best mates or
nothing?

No, it's just... At least we can talk.

Oi. Me and Connor are going to make an
official complaint about my support.

Is there a problem over there?

Nope.

Right, after you get the peer review, I
will sort the poetry competition.

We've had such a great response, and
real quality.

Grantley, let somebody else do it. The
winning entry.

It's the best bit of writing I've seen
in years, and it's Harley Taylor's, so I

would like a bit of fuss made.

Yeah, of course.

Just let me announce the winner, and
then we'll go, I promise.

We need to be at the hospital.

This is brilliant.

Oh, yeah, there's more. Look.

Lula.

Lenny Brown.

Even Darren Hughes has a talent for
rhyming.

Well, you've certainly got your mojo
back, Grantley. OK.

Half an hour, then hospital.

Yes. Right, see you in the lecture
theatre.

See you there.

And what are you lot up to?

We're going to speak to Matthews McGrew,
student council president.

What's so important?

We're making a complaint against Miss
Burke.

Why? What's she done?

Well, she's not really teaching us
properly.

She can't teach more like.

Come on. It's no to do with you.

Right. I'll let the hospital know that
you'll be there about... What are you

doing? Sue needs my help.

She's a big girl, Grantley. She doesn't
need you to sort her out. She's a kid.

Christine will have her out.

If she's not up to the job, then she
should get the push.

Oh, you don't believe that. And if you
do, you're not the woman I married. Take

those. I'll sort Sue out. I'll be back
in two minutes.

Don't run!

I don't want to get Miss Burke into
trouble, but... No, no, you did the

thing coming to me.

Keep this to yourself, though. I'm sure
you understand how delicate the

situation is.

Thank you.

Thanks.

What's that about?

A delegation.

Against Sue.

Yeah? What are they saying?

She's allowing Barry to disrupt every
class. No homework set.

Book not marked.

She's a young teacher. Come on. We've
all been there.

What are you going to do?

I'm going to take a look for myself,
Simon.

You, sit there.

The rest of you, not one.

Word.

Now, Miss Spark, do you have a
worksheet?

Yes, I was just about to hand it down.

Excellent.

Lots to do here.

Now, Miss Spark has carefully prepared
your task this lesson.

And I want to hear from her that it has
been completed to the

highest possible standard.

You know, I think we should take this
the official route. Do a proper

performance management review.

Oh, I'll see you in a minute.

Yeah, great.

That process takes time. You're just a
complete incompetent. I need to know

Well, she seems to have everything under
control.

Well, in this classroom, yeah.

You know, it's Barry that's the problem.
If we sort him... It's your

responsibility to manage your classroom.

I'll be keeping a very close eye on her.

The harder you rub, the more streak free
the shine.

Oh, Mr Windsor's asked me to help out. I
was in charge of cleaning at the fish

factory I worked at.

How very resourceful of him.

Can I have a quick word?

About Miss Spark.

I will be keeping a very close eye on
things, but I'm asking you to give

A little bit more time.

If things don't improve, action will be
taken.

You have my word.

Nice bit of her teaching today.

But I'm still doing home economics.

As I seem to be on something of a roll
with money -saving ideas, why don't we

simply swap, Miss Not -Very -Bright
-Spark?

for a PE teacher.

Have you forgotten who her father is?

We're going to have to wrap her in
cotton wool.

Why are the names going on here?

What are you doing without gear?

The school's filthy.

We're trying to clean it. Thank you,
Sadja.

We're just trying a little experiment,
Annie. The pupils are going to be

out with some of the cleaning.

What? No, they are not.

They're being sponsored. It's for a
really good cause.

Oh, that's nice.

What is it?

Starving children.

No, it's for Casey Barry and her boxing
training. I always knew you were a stuck

-up cow, my girl, but I didn't know you
had mutton for brain.

Hey, right, come on, Olga, out of here.

Olga, come on. Good, wait in.

To bad rubbish.

Holly.

Are you not coming to the presentation?

No. Oh, please.

For me?

You think you're going to win?

It's all here. Gym work, training
programme.

But... Second to this.

America?

Residential?

Well, it's where the best training is.

I'll have to think about it, miss.

Look, I don't want what happened today
to ever happen again. I feel totally

responsible for that.

Yeah, but...

America, we'll have to scrub a lot of
floors to pay for that.

Pace.

Look, I'm sorry about what happened
earlier.

Old Budgeon, you've got 50 quid on you
to win.

You must have seen all that natural
talent you've got for fighting.

I thought maybe you could put it towards
your sponsorship or whatever.

It's yours.

Go on.

Thank you.

That's really generous.

Thank you, Barry.

So, you going to go for it?

Yeah. Yeah?

Of course I am.

of the day.

You're amazing.

Thank you.

I think you'd better have a seat. Take
the weight off your ego.

Afternoon, everyone.

Mr.

Tom Clarkson entered this portrait
competition because he believed in the

of young people.

And he was right.

Mr. Budgeon, our most experienced
English teacher, has in his

Well, I'll let him tell you for himself.

Mr. Budgeon.

This is a fantastic body of work.

My congratulations to all who entered
the competition.

Oh, I'll be honest with you, I didn't
feel like coming back to work today.

And had it not been for a certain person
pushing me, quite literally on

occasion, I wouldn't be standing here
now.

To the competition.

I have an apology to make to the author

of this.

It is so good.

I didn't believe he wrote it.

But he did.

I just hope he can forgive an old dog
who's run out of tricks.

The winning poem for you by Harley
Taylor.

I'm a lot off by that anyway.

For you.

If I could pray your pain away, I surely
would.

If I could hold you fast until your pain
had passed, I'd try.

If I could cry your weary tears well
dry, I'd weep.

But all I have are words.

And words alone.

But these few words I have hewn from
dank and unyielding

pits and torn by wretched, tattered
hands in charcoal

dark from bitter, brittle stone.

These are my words.

And I have polished them.

For you.

I've already overdone it today.

Frankly.

Friendly?

Great to cover in the P .E. lesson this
week. Mainly, of course, is whipping you

into shape.

Have you sent off your headship
application yet?

I'm not applying.

This is a brilliant opportunity for you.

Are you new?

It's me, Eve.

Now, as well as the uniform, we can have
an original austerity Britain.

Coming up, we go on and off road with
original British drama, Stephen

Tompkinson's leading a convoy of stars
in brand new truckers, next on BBC One.
