Miss Dickey was everything a good teacher should be.

Clever.

Committed.

And caring.

Miss Dickey's... long and tragic death...

is a terrible blow for the school and for each one of us personally.

And we should remember her today as someone very, very special.

Sir? Am I right, sir?

Do you know what?

The thing that Lorna wanted above all else is for you all to do well at your

GCSEs.

Let's do that for her, yeah?

A big day for you, Mr. Rimmer. First step towards the new Roger Aspinall

Academy. So has Mr. Aspinall handed over the check?

Now, son, you don't got to worry about Mr.

Aspinall's check.

In fact, why don't you meet him? Would you take him over?

Who's Captain America?

Jerry Preston.

Roger's told me a lot of good things about you, Jack Rimmer.

And your people here at Waterloo Road.

How do you know Roger?

I just bought his company.

What are you talking about?

What about the Academy?

Easy, guys.

United Creation of Sciences, UCOS, is a global operation.

Priority number one, education.

With Jerry's backing, the Academy's never been more certain.

The DFES are going to have something to say about that. You can't just have

people buying Academy bids.

New costs are a perfectly legitimate guarantor for the costs.

Do feel free to check that with the DFES, though.

Give me your hand, Miss Campbell.

Come on, let's all take hands.

Take hands!

This is Gerry Preston down here with the good people of Waterloo Road in

England.

We've got big things planned here, Lord.

And I'm beseeching you to throw us down a blessing on this site.

Amen. Amen.

We'll be dropping by the school. Have a look at this healthy eating initiative

of yours.

I'm going to be seeing a whole lot more of you folks later on.

going to see her again.

She should walk through that door now, banging on about some new initiative to

turn the kids on to Shakespeare.

Who would have been there for her?

You do think she knew that, don't you?

I hope so.

I've just got to believe that she knew exactly what she was doing.

And that's how she wanted it to be?

Mm.

We've got to land on to that.

Yes.

I'll see you at break.

Lizzie.

Don't you think that I did that because I'm gutted or that I've barely slept

since Lorna?

Don't tell me what I'm thinking.

I'm sorry. It just happened.

Don't go crying out loud, Tom. I don't want you to be sorry.

I still love you.

On it, Gem. We've got food for now.

Now, what can we get you, Mr Rimmer?

Come on, shift it. I've banned that muck from the canteen. I'll not have it out

here. We're free to go where we please.

We're stopping here.

Well, he'll be in breach of his ASBO then, won't he? Shall I call the cops?

Call them.

But his ASBO were lifted last week.

I lost my sense of direction, Mr Rimmer. Well, I've found it now.

And I don't think there's no laws against telling kids what they want to

So, er, what do you want? Bacon butty or a burger?

You think you're going to flog that muck here?

You're beginning to get on my nerves, mate.

Not a hope in hell.

Not with the food we're serving inside. And it's flaming cheaper and all.

Zoe!

Ketchup, that is.

Three sevens and a burger, bub. There's a joke in there, someone.

Yeah, we've had a bag of laughs this morning.

Jack, have you heard of the United Creation of Scientists?

No, I haven't, but I'll have my broker check them out.

Look, if Aspinall wants to sell his business, then fine, but this is our

He's building it, he's not buying it.

So it's not the same thing?

Well, the commitment certainly seems to be there.

And so is the money, if the limit's any indication.

He had us praying in the middle of a field.

Style's not exactly C of E.

There's nothing wrong with a school built on solid values. Religious values.

What happens if it's not your religion?

Look, Andrew's right. We could have the best -funded academy in the country.

So just deal with the praying thing.

Andrew's right.

Ah, what a wonderful sound that has.

Don't hear it very often, do you?

Jack, I've had the worst half -term ever.

Just waiting for the phone to ring.

Often that you call me and you didn't.

What's the thing?

That you miss me.

Or that you've had time to think and you know that none of it mattered.

Do you know what I did?

I'm awake.

I sat there wondering how if this was nothing, then why didn't you tell me?

I couldn't. You didn't.

And now every day I have to look at that smug little...

Him knowing he was there first with you.

A schoolboy.

I didn't know he was at school.

I don't want to hear it. It was in the bar. I thought he was at... Jack, that's

not going to say anything.

He's here. That's enough.

Look, if it makes you feel any better, I feel like a total prat as well.

This isn't right.

We're dressed like an allotment and Lorna's only just died.

I know.

I suppose we just have to think about the reasons why we're doing it.

Come on, let's get it over with.

Never thought I'd fall for a carrot.

We've got a generation to save.

Well, it's not exactly buzzing, is it?

Hmm.

Right.

Come on.

How do I look?

Quite cute, actually.

Right. Come on, you lot.

Forget your cola drinks.

Who's for a mango smoothie?

Come and have a try.

Fill your boots.

What? Oh, it's well rent.

I'll stick to the cola.

Oh, what? You'll end up looking like that?

Eh?

Yeah, exactly. Come on.

Have a try. You'll love it. It's very good for you. Mum, what are you doing?

I thought I'd brought out the colour in my eyes.

Can I have a word with you?

Okay.

How would you feel if me and Tom got back together and, um,

possibly got married?

Please.

Tell me the truth, because I won't do anything that's going to hurt you.

Just tell us you're not getting married like that.

I can come and pick you up after school if you want.

I'll have one of them buns and a packet of them crisps when you've got a minute.

I can't go out with you, I'm not allowed.

Haydock will go nuts.

Do you know what to do with her?

I mean, I thought you was in her home.

Yeah, she's living with Haydock now.

Everything's gone good for her. Now you're not around and she's off the gay.

do one, Louis.

I made up for her.

I'll give you a ticket if you try.

You're the one that got her on it. Come on, Maxie.

Janice, can't you just get your own girlfriend?

Look, I just thought I'd start seeing you again.

I mean, I'm working four nights a week at the restaurant.

I've got money.

I can treat you.

Yeah, treat her like dirt.

Come on.

See you around, dear.

They're gonna be putting them charms to good use, Lewis.

Miss, did you think they would fill me up? It's nice and everything, but...

Right, but where did you get them from?

Van outside.

OK. But pretend this didn't happen.

What are you doing here, Mrs Seddon?

Like I said to Rimmer, I go where I like.

You got a problem with that?

Yeah.

Shut up!

I do as it goes. We're running a healthy eating initiative. We ban junk food.

Well, you haven't banned me, have you?

Last time I looked, it were a free country.

Right, who wants a doughnut? Get them out of the fryer, Lewis.

That's pure fat and suggy cat feed our kids, that.

We're at my teacher's.

So don't tell us what to do.

Right.

Tom, don't stoop to his level.

No, come on, you lot.

Unless you want your arteries to end up looking like this.

Yes. See? So come on, this way.

Getting to any school, any college.

Let's play a bit of Challenger.

I mean, you spend most of your time taking the mick out of it.

I'm an attainment target for the others.

Take it this isn't about my education.

Jack's finished with me.

He's a jerk anyway.

Yeah, well, he's a jerk who can't see beyond his hurt ego right now.

It's all the time you're here, playing on your computer, being snarky with your

teachers. He's not going to get packed, is he?

You want me to leave?

Why don't you leave?

Go and get another job.

Because it's not me you want him to forget.

Oh, very secretive.

You look like you're struggling there.

What is it, a love letter?

Could be.

Yeah, well, I was actually hoping that it was a letter to your local MP

complaining about Gerry Preston.

It isn't.

I tell you, I've got such a bad feeling about him. I mean, first time he meets

us and he's already pushing his beliefs.

It was probably just a good luck ritual.

Hang on, you've got quite a...

casual attitude to some religious obsessive coming and taking over our

Kim. Ah, right, but you're probably fine with all this, aren't you? What is it,

church every Sunday? For God's sake, why would I need a church when you spend

your entire time judging me?

For the record, I don't believe in God. I haven't been to church since my

mother's funeral, and I don't plan on joining Jerry for any happy, clappy

to Lourdes, OK?

All right.

God, chill out.

You know,

you just look a bit churchy, don't you, sir? Well, I'm not.

And if you don't mind, I would like your opinion on something that does matter

to me.

All right, yeah, fine.

Go ahead.

I've been offered a job.

In Rwanda.

We're rolling out a new education program.

The existing one just can't provide the country's needs.

So you'd, um, you'd be leaving?

Yeah, if I'd take it.

Should I?

Why do you even want to meet up with Lewis?

Just keep away from him. Things are going good for you now.

Yeah, but you heard him. He's making a new start. He's got his asshole and

everything. Sorry, Seth.

He's changed, I can tell. He's not even changing his pants. He's a creep.

Just put out right.

Because you don't know him, not like I do.

You don't know nothing about having a boyfriend. The only thing you're

interested in is your stupid dinosaurs.

Fine, then. Let him mess up your life. Don't come running back to me, you

cow.

Funny, isn't it?

How death brings people closer together.

Well, in some cases, anyway.

I think that's what's brought Jack to his senses. You know, got him focused on

what's going on around him.

Who he can trust and who he can't. And how tragic is that for you?

That he'll only give you the time of day when he's vulnerable.

Jack and I go back a long way, Davina.

He's like a DJ.

He'll always play a bit of what's in the charts, but... By the end of the night,

he's back to playing blondie.

Your music's as dirty as your routine stuff.

I'm not going anywhere.

And if I have to wait until Brett Aspinall leaves, I will.

Don't count on it, Miss Shackleton.

I could take a case out against you myself. You tried to get me sacked.

first off, I'll go and ask Jack who it was that stopped him from sending his

letter to the LEA.

I can wait to see you find.

Nothing happened.

I will not discuss this with you.

So you're just going to take it out on her, are you?

You've got a problem, then sort it out with me.

Don't tempt me.

She's in pieces over you.

God knows why.

She never cheated on you.

We met in a bar before she knew you, before I knew you.

Now, I know I'm younger and better looking than you are, but you've got to

feeling jealous.

Stay out of my way, or I'll have you thrown out.

What for?

I mean, what are you actually going to tell people?

Get.

Done well today, Lewis.

Natural salesman, like your uncle.

Cheers, Auntie John.

When's he getting out?

Who knows?

But we're going to do him proud, right?

Because I reckon... Time for the next call.

Sure he's down with that, Lewis?

Of course he is.

He's a seven.

MDMA.

I will start small, yeah?

Only for guys you can trust.

There'll be dozens of people in there that'll be wanting this gear.

You do well on this one for us, there's going to be a lot of opportunity coming

your way. Proper money, Lewis.

Party time.

You have to take it.

You can't miss out on something like this.

I can if it's more important that I stay here.

Andrew, you can't even begin to compare.

I mean, you know, these schools, some of them haven't even got running water.

The kids are the primary carers in loads of cases.

Those problems aren't all unique to Rwanda.

No, but... You can make a difference to them.

How you did to us.

Did I?

What do you want?

Hmm? You want me to give you a gold star?

I'm pleased for you.

Really am.

I need to get back to them today.

You've been really helpful.

Andrew, come on. I need you outside because we've got the Fleming -Adams

gearing up for lunchtime.

I'm well on my way, pal. I don't know what's up.

I've got much to do for you, Mike.

I've fallen out with Janice.

I told her it was nothing to do with her or I wanted to go out with.

So, does that mean we're back on then, yeah?

If you play your cards right.

And so long as Haydock doesn't find out, because if she knew, she'd chuck me

out. Don't worry about Haydock.

I'll work the setting charm on her.

You stole your last burger, mate.

Is that right?

And before you start chanting on again, I've got a licence to trade, I'm on

public land, supplying the demands of the public.

To do what?

Right, listen up.

There's a new rule.

No one is allowed outside the premises at break or lunchtime. Anyone found

so will go to the cooler. So get inside, come on. Hey, you can't do that.

Get inside.

I just have. Get inside.

Roger, how's it going?

This is your catering? This?

No, I don't know where this turned up from.

Listen, why don't I see you in the canteen, yeah?

Let's go.

Come on, move it. Get inside now.

Come on.

Come on.

You know what the great thing about this new academy is?

All the fencing and security.

Keep the riffraff out.

Jack, I really don't think a ban on leaving their premises is practical.

I mean, if they challenge it, we can't send them all to the cooler. We can, and

we will.

Very.

Right, that's it.

Junk is finally off the menu.

Such innocence in a grown man.

No chance of me running the marathon and that lot eating the green.

Yeah, well, I'll have to eat it sooner or later, won't I? Otherwise I'll

I suppose it's all.

Wholesome steaks and healthy salads in Texas, is it?

Well, Stephanie, where I come from, they have very modest tastes.

Oh, come on, Kim, at least look like you're enjoying it.

Well, maybe I'm not.

Are you all right? Yeah.

I'm not in the mood for this Gillian McKee impression.

Tell me about it.

Look.

You're allowed to have a bad day.

It's just bloody Andrew.

I spent the whole year wishing he was on the other side of the world to me, and

now he's going to be.

Andrew's going to be on the other side of the world?

Yeah, he's got a job abroad.

Africa.

It's just when we realise that I don't really want him to go.

Because I, um... Well, if you

two are as bad as me and Tom, the only people who don't know you should be

together is the both of you.

No, it's not like that.

No, God, no, me and Andrew, no.

Kim, tell him to stay.

I'll tell him to stay. No way.

And I mean it.

I'm not going to wreck his dream, and do you know what?

He won't stay for me anyway.

And I'm overtired, so please just ignore me.

Men, eh? They need a sudden health warning on, don't they?

And there's me just agreed to marry one.

Well, yeah, but Tom's a good one, isn't he?

So is Andrew.

Um... I'm on a cooler duty, so I'm going to go.

Thank you.

And this little moment here, it never happens, yeah?

I think it's about time I had a little meet and greet with the kids, huh, Jack?

Good idea, Jerry.

What's your name, little lady?

Denise. What do you mean?

Are you the one that's paying for our school?

You must be dead rich.

Thanks.

What do you want to do when you leave school, Denise?

I want to work in a museum with fossils and that.

Fossils? And dinosaurs.

I think they're amazing.

Great, big, huge things.

They've all gone now, though. Can you get your head around that?

Hey, Janice, you know they're not really called dinosaurs, don't you?

The Lord created them.

The same day he created us. Only he didn't call them dinosaurs, he called

dragons.

Dragons? I thought they were just in kids' books.

That's so.

Well, what about sailors' stories of sea monsters, then?

A Loch Ness monster.

Jerry, we ought to be getting them.

The only dinosaurs that survived the Lord's Great Flood were the ones that

swim.

You mean Noah?

I didn't think that was real.

I can see you're a very bright young lady, Janice, the kind that likes to

up her own mind about things.

I've got some books.

Maybe you'd like to take a look.

Good.

Left up without him, the guy's a flipping caveman. Just threatened to lay

out.

Come in.

Don't tell me you've been talking to Janice. I just don't see why everyone's

lives are up in the air because of him.

You have got so much going on to do, Brad.

I was trying to help you.

To drop the moral high ground, yeah? Because an hour ago you were asking me

leave the school for you. Yeah, but you didn't, did you?

Now you've just gone and made things impossible for me.

Here you go, Janice.

How about you and me have a little talk?

I want you to get a chance to read them.

Who?

It's to me.

All staff to make sure that no pupils leave the premises at break or lunchtime

without prior written permission from me.

That's to go out straight away.

Jack, can we talk?

Look, I heard about what Brett did. Spare me, please.

Gerry!

How are you enjoying your day here?

I'm sure you'll agree that Waterloo Road is a school bursting with potential.

I'm going to speak directly with the planners and the architect, see if we

get this new building up and running a little quicker than planned.

Seriously? You bet.

Well, I mean, you can see what we're trying to do here.

I mean, I've always had the children's interest first off, but with the right

facilities, the right tools, there's nothing we can't achieve.

Well, now, Jack, that's been a burden to you. It takes more than one man to sail

a ship.

But now you have me to share that burden with you.

Well, all I can say is thank you.

I think we'll be helping each other.

So, Holden believed that the adult world is full of hypocrisy, what he calls

phoniness, whereas the world of childhood is a world of innocence.

What are these?

It's about tracking, sir.

And Noah's Ark.

Where on earth did you get this stuff, Janice?

Mr Preston gave him there.

He says it's dragons, not dinosaurs, and they never lived a million years ago

because the world's only 6 ,000 years old.

But you know all about evolution. We went to the museum. You saw fossils.

Mr Preston says it's all in the Bible.

With the greatest respect, Janice, the Bible is an allegory.

It's symbolic.

It's there to help people understand some more complex ideas.

What, like the Great Flood?

What, the Great Flood of 1953?

No.

Noah's Flood. You mean the one that supposedly covered the whole world?

Yeah, and God was punishing people for sinning and that.

What rubbish.

Look, I'm going to tell you this.

No, he wants me to read him. That's what I've got to talk to him about.

Tell him to talk to me.

He'll be out for ages.

Sorry?

Jack.

He's with Roger and Jerry.

So you could get one of your classroom assistants to do that.

Yeah, well, I don't exactly like being in the same room as you either, Davina.

But nor do I like shirking my responsibilities.

Especially when it means you get to hang around Jack's office.

Like a lovesick adolescent.

Well, you'd be the expert on those.

Jack!

Steph, you should get your assistant to do that.

Yeah, can we... All this hullabaloo about food, I thought

it would be a good idea if we themed it, you know, one week French, next week

Italian.

I just want to inspire the kids, Jack. Let them know that food's a lifestyle.

You know, it can be uplifting, it can be...

Sensuous.

Yeah, that's interesting.

I'll give you some thought.

Thanks, Steph.

I'd better get on.

Poor old Jack.

All this worry's taken its toll on you, hasn't it? You seem very preoccupied.

Preoccupied is the last thing I am.

Well, how do you fancy a night on the town with me?

at my place for a nightcap on the way back and then let me jumpstart your

batteries. Not now, Steph.

Simon, no, Jack, it's over.

Yeah, well, perhaps I'm not feeling very fortunate.

And that's perfectly understandable given what a twitch he's made of you. No

offence, but I've got to get on.

Yeah.

That's excellent.

Yeah, that's great. See you later, Jack.

Poor Jack.

But, um, we'll get in there.

Jack.

I'm sorry I hurt you.

I'm sorry I kept what happened between me a bit of secret.

I'm sorry about everything.

Can't you just accept that?

Well, fine.

I'll go and call Steph back, shall I? Tell her she's all yours.

Hold on a second.

What for?

What else is there to say?

I want to talk.

No, no, you don't.

What you want is for me to keep on apologising.

And do you know what?

I'm done with saying I'm sorry.

I can't keep doing it.

If you really want to talk, then... Meet me

tonight for dinner.

Me and you away from here.

OK.

Really? You will?

Let's try and find a way through this.

But the central concern of Lord of the Flies is the conflict between the two

impulses of human being.

That's civilisation and savagery.

It's the instinct to live life by rules versus the instinct to

self -gratification. And I will have silence, Siobhan Geary.

Could you hear what I said?

Not another cheap out of you.

Right.

In the book, Ralph represents order and Jack chaos. I want you to get into two

groups. One is the Jack group and the other is the Ralph group and we are

to have a debate.

Anybody got any burning issues they want to discuss?

Chip!

If you two don't come down to planet Earth right now...

You're heading for the cooler.

Chirpy, chirpy, chirpy, chirpy.

These two pests should be locked in here for the rest of the day. They seem

determined to play the class clowns.

All right, thank you, Mr Budgin.

Courtney, what is it?

What's she on?

Nothing. I said, what is she on?

I don't know.

I need to know. I don't know.

Courtney, listen.

Calm down. I need you to breathe.

OK? No, you can.

You can. It's just you're having a panic attack, but it's fine.

OK, you just need to breathe.

Breathe with me. With me. In and out.

Can't you breathe?

There we go. And again.

And again. And again. There. There.

Water. In my bag. Quickly.

Keep on going. Keep on going.

All right. There we go.

Miss, we didn't take nothing. So the racing pulse and the temperature and the

panic attack is what?

Flu?

I think I feel alright now, Miss.

Should I go home?

In your dreams.

Nothing. Well, there wouldn't be, would there?

Because you've already taken it, haven't you?

No, sir. It's like we said before. We don't do drugs.

Maybe someone put something in our drink.

Yeah. I mean, that happens all the time, doesn't it? Yeah.

In a bad cop drama.

Now, tell me the truth.

Actually, I did feel dead funny after that drink. Mr Clarkson gave me a...

lie to me!

Mr Emmett... We're not lying.

Well, not, sir.

These letters are for your parents.

Informing them about suspicion that you've taken some form of drug.

Advising them to see your GP for medical assessment.

Idiots. Please, sir, we didn't do anything. We promise, sir. Out of my

Kim, you were right about Preston.

He's a grade -A creationist nut.

Kim, you were right. I'm not sure I've ever heard you say that before.

What?

Intelligent design?

Curing homosexuality?

These guys are insane.

We can't have the school run under this doctrine.

You're not even going to be here, are you? It's not really your concern

is it?

I'm going to take these and show them to Jack.

Rem is like a total fascist.

I'm going to bin the letter.

Your phone and check they got it.

I was going to go ballistic.

He didn't even let me drink.

I was going to say this dealer made me take it.

Me and all.

But we can't say who, right?

Courtney.

You're listening to me.

We can't say where we get it.

Padgett said it. He's a proper psycho.

I need a flipping drink now, don't I?

Are you joking or what? You know what my dad's like. I need something.

After what happened to me.

It's because you didn't have no water with it.

It'll be all right now.

Dinosaurs? Dragons?

It's creationist propaganda.

Preston gave them to Janice Bryant.

I mean, do you have any idea who we're really dealing with?

No -one's going to believe this sort of rubbish, are they?

Hundreds of thousands already do.

Not in this school.

This isn't a small businessman we're dealing with. UCOS is a billion -pound

organisation. Well, then it's a win -win situation for Waterloo Road, isn't it?

For all we know, we could be just the start of some grand plan.

Well, we wouldn't want to miss out on the grand plan, would we?

Even if it's about this?

Yeah, well, this is what Ofsted's for, isn't it? To protect against this sort

thing. Well, according to you, Kos, Ofsted is allowing anti -Darwin theories

be taught alongside evolution.

And who do you think Preston's going to get in to teach this stuff?

One of us, I doubt it. Well, now you're just sounding paranoid, Andrew.

Don't you get it? Their agenda is to bring in their own people to preach

own gospel.

And the government, under the actual title of Faith School, is allowing these

kind of evangelists to flourish.

I thought you liked the academy system.

I thought you said it gave poor kids the kind of education you had. I thought

you believed in it. Well, sometimes beliefs are dangerous things, Jack.

we've got the funding, OK? We've got the academy. We've got everything in place

to make kids who've had nothing get the best chance in life they can get.

Don't ask me to tear that up because some guy wants to thank the Lord.

Fine.

Happy reading.

Welcome to the big time, Lewis.

You make ease.

We make a lot of things.

Cut them up.

Make them go a bit further.

Did well today, Lewis.

Should have had you with us before.

Chuck that waiting job in now.

How much money are you making an hour?

Five -fifter.

Make that a minute, yeah?

I think we should have a little celebration.

Pretty soon, we're going to be running vans to every school in Rochdale.

Come on, I've got to clean in there.

Just a minute.

Kim. I saw Jack.

Well, good it did.

He doesn't want to understand what he's getting into.
