She's fought for an increase in the minimum wage

and successfully campaigned to give asylum seekers the right to work.

She's Faiza Akhtar and this is The Sue Carp Show.

APPLAUSE

So does Yorkshire's very own Amal Clooney

plan to take a few days to chill now you're home?

Well, actually, I'm only here for a couple of hours.

I've got a meeting later with the Prime Minister.

AUDIENCE: Ooh!

Where do you get your energy from?

Well, actually, me dad.

Yeah.

He always inspired me to never to walk away from a challenge.

I wouldn't be doing any of this

if he hadn't been there supporting me all the way.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Right, call mum if you need anything, yeah?

Dad?

Her number's on the fridge.

I won't be too long.

You going to wish me good luck?

Apple, mum.

Oh, yeah. And lucky pen? Check.

Oh, yeah. And lucky charm? All present and correct.

You work your magic for me like you did Nasreen.

Can we go now? Hold the horse. I got something I want to say.

Take your time. Read the question.

No.

It doesn't matter if you pass or fail.

You just do your best.

Not a half best. Full best.

That's all I want.

You go and show Ken Weaver what you're made of. Come on.

Beti?

Me, taking exams, mammy?

I've forgotten everything already. It go in one side and... Chup, Chup.

Just go, smash it, OK.

MOBILE PHONE RINGS

'The person you are calling is unable to take your call.'

BEEP

This is really hard for me to say, but...

..Dad, you're right.

I really don't belong here.

I'm coming home.

You'll be late for work. Just want to make sure you get there safe.

You sure you don't want me to come in with you when you go and see the, erm...

Independent Sexual Violence Adviser. You can say it, Dad.

How many more of these meetings do you reckon you're going to have?

As many as I want, I suppose.

Fizza.

Him and mum are doing my head in. Always in my face.

It's good they're worried about you.

Give him a break. Like you'd want your dad walking you to school?

Yeah.

I would, actually.

Weirdo.

♪ Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah. ♪

♪ Ah-ah. ♪

♪ Ah-ah. ♪

Now go from your head voice into your chest voice.

♪ Ahhhh. ♪

Excellent technique.

Now, open up your diaphragm, that's how you'll optimise the tone.

I thought it was just about opening my mouth and making a noise.

Have you decided what you're going to sing? Erm... Yeah.

There's this cover song I do at my gigs. Cover?

Oh, OK.

Let's hear it.

♪ Say you love

♪ Love

♪ May you fall in love some day... ♪

What's wrong with it? Nothing. It's nice.

It's just not... You. It's not coming from your heart.

The diaphragm, the heart. Please, Sir, make up your mind.

You're singing the words, just not feeling it.

What about one of your own songs?

Look, I write about stuff that's going on in my life.

Judges at the audition won't want to hear about that.

This is worse than the bloody Coronation Street.

Exam papers. What? You've helped us out, so...

How did you get hold of this?

Oh, have you read the questions? No. No, I don't need to.

But I thought you might need some help today.

Not long to go. How are you feeling?

Inshallah. She's going to pass it easy.

Oh, he don't know that.

Bloody wind up merchant!

Main themes of Othello. Anyone? If we don't know it now, it's too late.

Johnny?

Erm...

Honour. Yes.

Prejudice.

Yeah. Younis?

Female sexuality?

Would you like to expand?

I think he already has!

LAUGHTER

OK, you need to be at the exam hall 15 minutes before start time.

Don't be late.

MOBILE PHONE RINGS

Dad?

Do you remember when you were little,

when I'd take you to that bridge?

We'd watched Three Coins in the Fountain

and you wanted to go and chuck pebbles in the water.

Make a wish.

Yeah. Only there weren't no water. Still made a wish though.

Mine were always that you'd be happy.

That you'd get what you wanted out of life.

Is this your completely over the top way of wishing me good luck?

I'd tell you that you could do anything,

that one day you'd change the world.

And you will.

They'll be no phones allowed in the exam hall.

Don't listen to what anybody says.

I'm doing this cos I love you.

Doing what? Don't worry.

It's all good. Dad, where are you?

Dad?

Remember, don't touch your exam papers when you take your seats.

Nice and quiet everybody, please.

'Sorry, I'm being fabulous, leave a message.'

I haven't got a pen.

I ain't having that.

No, there's some inside for us. There's some inside.

OK everyone, have your bags and phones ready to hand in, please.

You can do this.

For the next two hours,

your backsides will be glued to your chairs.

Nobody leaves this room.

Are we understood?

Good luck everyone. Turn your papers over.

What did I just say?

Fizza?

Fizza, you can't just...

Stop. What about your exam?

I can't stay. I need to find my dad.

Whatever's going on, I'm sure he wouldn't want you to jeopardise your future.

He doesn't know what he wants. He doesn't know what day it is half the time.

I'm scared he's going to hurt himself. Where is he?

I don't know for sure, but I've just got to go.

Fizza, we can take my car.

Dad? Are you sure he's here?

Dad!

You shouldn't be here.

Go. Leave me alone. Dad, what are you doing?

Fizza, please.

Mr Akhtar?

I'm Asma, Fizza's English teacher.

Take her back to school.

Go on, go.

I want to be on my own.

Nobody wants that, not really.

I'm no good for her.

All I do is let her down, turning up to school, ruining things for her.

I'm not fit to be her dad. Don't say that.

You're better off without me.

Let me guess.

You want all the noise, all the thoughts, to stop?

I know what you're going through.

You don't know anything.

I know about never feeling like you're good enough.

Most of the time I don't have a clue how I'm going to make it through the day.

I'm an alcoholic.

I know it's not the same, but still...

The loneliness, the guilt.

The terrible black hole that sucks anything good out of life.

Hating yourself because you're too weak to fight it.

I know about that.

But those feeling pass.

They do.

I'm so tired.

You've got people who love you, Asif.

They can help you get through this.

We'll sort things properly.

Your medication, everything.

I'll make you well again.

You've got too much going for you. A daughter who adores you.

You've been here before. Things got better, didn't they?

They will again.

Please.

Please, Dad.

I'll end up back here.

I know I will.

Let me take you home, Asif.

We can talk properly there.

I said put your pens down.

Go on, then. You're free to go.

That essay though. I know, you're bloody telling me.

I thought it must be like a trick question. Bare easy.

Hey. How did it go?

Oh, I don't want to think about it. It's too late.

I can't change nothing now.

You did your best.

What?

Where did you... Kyle thought he were helping me.

It's a mock from last year.

Huh?

Alhamdulillah!

He must have broken into Ken's office.

He thinks he's James Bond, no?

Oh, don't say nothing.

Kyle's heart is in the right place and if Ken knew that I had this,

my head on the chopping block, eh?

Eh? Rashid? No, of course not.

We don't need this.

There's something not right.

She wouldn't just walk out of an exam for no reason.

I'm going to try her again. Johnny, have you got a minute?

Oh, my God.

Mr Cooper, you are late for audition rehearsal. yes, sir.

It was the wrong exam paper.

Sorry, no comprende.

If you ever put Mrs Paracha in that position again...

You'll what? Report me? Nah. She wouldn't like that.

You little...

She broke into my dad's house and stole his dogs.

Least that's what we'll say in court if you say owt.

I'm watching you.

I can't do this.

Yeah, you can. KNOCK ON DOOR

Where do you keep the lentils?

Red jar, bottom left cupboard.

He's settled.

He is in bed now.

Thanks for what you said.

If you hadn't been there, I could've lost him.

I don't deserve your thanks, Fizza.

I should be apologising.

I had no idea how much you were dealing with.

And if I did, I wouldn't have put so much pressure on you.

You weren't to know.

My dad's been ill for as long as I can remember.

When he's on form, it's like no matter where he goes,

the sun comes out, even if it's chucking it down.

I'm sorry you're having a such a hard time.

Onions.

You're doing such a great job looking after him,

he needs to be assessed by a mental health professional.

No. He hates hospital stuff, he'll never agree to that.

Fizza, it's the only way he'll get better.

I can make the calls if you like.

DOOR BUZZES

Your family are very concerned about you, Asif.

I know this isn't what you want to hear,

but from what you've just told me,

I'm not confident you can keep yourself safe.

I'd like you to come to hospital for a short while. No!

I need you to get better, Dad. I love you.

Asif, I'm really sorry

but if you refuse to come voluntarily,

I'll have to bring you into hospital

under Section 4 of the Mental Health Act.

Dad?

♪ The darkness...

♪ ..will come... ♪

Dad?

Dad!

SHE SOBS

It's OK. Fizza, you've done the right thing.

SHE CRIES

That tea?

Sausage rolls. Been practising me pastry.

At least one of us has summat to show for today.

Yeah.

Right let's go, I'm starving.

When we get home. Can we, um...?

Go on, what? Will you play your song for us?

No, nothing to sing.

Everything I try just sounds like a knock-off Justin Bieber.

Hmm. Could be worse.

Don't, you'll put me off my food.

How was your exam?

Don't ask.

I want to go and see him.

Tomorrow. Should let him get settled in first.

You should get some sleep. I'll stay until your mum gets here.

Where've you been? I've been worried sick.

Fizza's dad's been sectioned.

She was trying to cope on her own and sometimes you can't, can you?

I thought leaving Ackley was the answer.

You're leaving?

What I need to do is stop drinking.

But I don't know how.

I need help, Hassan.

I need help.
