What are you doing?

It's okay.

Okay, all right. Don't put any pressure on it, all right? I mean it.

So what I want to know is, will you dance with me at our wedding?

What do you think you're doing?

I've got schizophrenia.

Schizophrenia? Oh, that's really, really stupid.

I'm in so much trouble.

Thank you.

My name is John Ingleby.

Do not forget me.

The plague has come for me.

No cure can save me now.

I don't want to die.

I don't want to die.

I don't want to die.

I don't want to die.

I don't want to die.

Give me a break there. You really, really scared me there.

Yeah, you're not the only ones.

What the hell is going on?

It's Ring -a -Ring -a -Roses, sir.

It's what?

Josh is making a short film. Yeah, and we're the talent. We did our own hair

makeup and everything.

It's coursework, A -level media studies. The film's about the 1623 plague pit.

We found around here.

Yeah, I read about that.

There's this guy, John Ingleby.

He died of the plague. It's all about him.

Have you any idea what time it is? You're not even supposed to be down here

unsupervised without permission.

Miss Boston cleared it.

She's upstairs.

Is she?

Right, come on.

Sir, can I just do one last take at this final test scene? The deadline's

tomorrow. So is your English A -level exam. Come on.

Michael, hi.

I didn't think you'd still be here. Yeah, good to hear the same about you. I

just found a bunch of kids downstairs in the boiler room dying for their art. I

thought you knew all about it.

Yeah, they're with me.

Shame you couldn't run it by me.

I honestly didn't think it'd be a problem.

Josh seemed very into it.

Yeah. He just wants to do really well.

Well, I'm all for that, and I'm all for going the extra mile, but maybe you

could let me know next time.

I will.

Not least because I don't think my heart can take it.

Right.

Dad?

You know, the body's not about to go to school. Do you think they could still be

in touch after 400 years?

Well, I doubt it.

Why do you ask? You're not still working on that film, are you? Yeah, but nearly

finished. Yeah, I should hope so.

I've just got to take it over one final time, mate. It's in the bag.

Why are we running?

Because I'm running late, because it's exam day, and because I'm supposed to be

in charge.

That's got your touch in game, then? Oh, that is great advice. Thanks, son.

Are you ready for these exams? Because I'm not.

Me neither.

I cope an hour off the meds. Keep it down.

I don't want people to find out.

Tablets make me fuzzy -headed anyway. It's the last thing I need in a day like

today. I'm fuzzy -headed at the best of times, mate.

All right, Finn?

My head's still battered about Trudy and I've done no revision.

I can't think straight.

Come on, you've got us two. You'll be fine.

I'd rather just be on my own.

Tough. Oh,

I love this time of year. I get to put my feet up for most of it. I wish I

could. It happens to make me nervous.

I'll tell you that. I've got Janice's wedding.

Oh, yeah, the big day today. How is the bushing, Brian?

It's texted me ten times already.

Can you do this? Can you do that? Can you get me 500 pigeons apiece?

Doves apiece. You try telling Janice that.

Ah, here they are.

Exemplary.

Excuse me.

Stand back.

See these kids?

Destiny.

That was quick.

Everything all right?

I can go through with it.

So, what, you're going to keep it now?

Yeah.

No, I don't know.

You need to be rational about this.

It's not a baby yet.

Look, you can't tell me what to do. I'm not one of your gang members.

Well, Dad will find out. Hey, don't you dare bring Dad into this.

Have you caused enough trouble at home?

I just can't do this on my own.

You're not on your own.

I'm here.

I mean Finn.

It's not right that he doesn't know.

Nah, no way, Trude. You don't need him.

It's got nothing to do with him. It's got everything to do with him. If you

keeping it, then I'd get it. Yeah, he needs to know.

But you're not, are you?

Miss, can I have my camera?

Yeah, sure.

You're still on for the deadline, aren't you?

Yeah, sure, I just need to watch it through and then I'll end it in. Good.

And I need two copies of the DVD, one to submit and one to put on file.

It's in your checklist of requirements, remember?

You know these dead bodies that are around, are they infectious?

No, not now.

The school's not built on contaminated land, if that's what you're thinking.

No, no, of course not.

Hi, Tom. Morning.

Listen, are you sure that Josh is OK?

Yeah, he's good. I mean, big day and all that, but he seems fine.

Are you still all right sitting in on the English exam with me later?

Sounds like something.

Maybe we could treat ourselves to a takeaway afterwards, then.

Yeah, I'd like that.

I'll see you later.

See you.

Going to a female pupil's house for whatever reason is not only

it's just plain stupid.

However, the LA have decided to take no further action, so I'm pleased to tell

you you can return to work full -time as of now.

That said, the incident remains on your record for the foreseeable future.

So perhaps it goes without saying, but steer clear of Mercedes, all right?

Yeah, of course.

I understand.

You've been very lucky.

I know.

But then I guess we've all done things that we regret.

Look, I just want to get back on track and move on with my life.

Just to say, in light of the recent escalation in gang activity, both inside

outside of the school, I'd like you all to maintain the high level of vigilance

that we've had.

Mr Chalk and I are talking about ways to deal with a problem which clearly is

not going to go away.

Why don't we just exclude the ringleaders? We know who they are. No,

keep them in here where we can keep an eye on them. I agree. In the meantime,

let's just keep one another informed.

Thank you.

The, uh...

The LA have cleared me to come back to work.

Great. I'm really pleased for you.

Yeah, me too.

Just so relieved that the whole thing's over.

The problems that we're having at the moment, I thought it might be a good

if I moved out for a bit.

You know, give us both a chance to clear out it.

Really?

Yeah, I spoke to Charlie, who I used to play football with, and he said I can

stay here for a while, you know, see how things go.

What about the kids?

Well, they'll have to stay with me. I mean, you don't want them staying with

you, do you?

Well, I just want what's best for them.

I'm not sure moving would be right for them right now. It's a flat bang in the

middle of Maddy's exams.

Well, we probably wouldn't have enough chances of that anyway.

Then I should move out.

No, I don't want you having to do that.

Look, it's just a bit of space so that we can sort things out, right?

I'll talk to the kids.

OK.

I do appreciate that some of you may not be able to use the mind -mapping

revision technique on account of not having a mind.

Are you kidding me?

What's up?

It says here that I've got to get someone to do an intro to my film,

camera, give it a name and title. No -one told me that.

You're still doing that thing, mate? You thought you'd finished it? So did I. I

clearly haven't.

OK, chill out.

Er, to Spielberg, may I remind you that this is an English -language revision

class. I know, sir, but... No buts. It's not film school. Put that away before I

confiscate it.

Ah, Mr. Dickie, Mr.

Sir Dickie, how very good of you to join us.

Sorry, sir.

Would it be possible for anyone to do any work?

Whoa!

Precious cargo coming through.

Watch where you're going.

You should be lurking behind doors, big man.

Excuse me?

Well, you're not exactly size zero, are you, sir?

Just get into class, please.

Hey!

You do not speak to a teacher like that, understood?

Apologise now.

So sorry, sir.

I'm watching the period.

Shoot. No more trouble from either of you.

You all right?

Well, this is the least of my problems.

You've been trying to get older for ages.

What's been going on?

Shouldn't you be titivating yourself or whatever it is that ladies always do?

Yeah, well, I can't. There's been a problem with the ice rink. I phoned them

earlier and the snotty old woman didn't even have a clue where I was.

Well, it's today you'll be dealing.

And what's it to you?

I don't know.

And I can't get hold of Craig. He's supposed to be dealing with everything.

I feel like my two main men are letting me down.

Well, we can't have that, can we?

Tell you what, you go and have a cuppa. I'll sort out these exam papers and then

we'll see what we can do.

Girls, we need to do some more filming.

What, we're finished with that? So did I. It turns out I've missed something.

It'll take five minutes to... Oh, come on.

Come on, please.

Right, five minutes.

Thank you.

I'll be with you in a minute.

Hiya.

What is it?

I've got to watch it, you know. I know. I just wanted to wish you luck with your

exams. Don't need luck.

It's all up here.

Well, seeing you need such a clever clock, I thought you might want to...

Celebrate your success in advance?

Yeah. Yeah?

Mum's out tonight at the house to myself.

So, as a reward... For being such a good boy.

You might like to, you know...

Action!

Ring -a -ring -a -rosies, ring -a -ring -a -rosies. Ring -a -ring -a -rosies.

The Life and Death of John Ingleby by Joshua Stevenson. Cut there. Can we do

as Josh, not Joshua, please?

Oh, like that matters.

You said it'd take five minutes.

Just one more.

Right, can we try The Spirit Lives On, The Life and Death of blah, blah, blah?

Right.

Action. The Spirit Lives On, The Life and Death of blah, blah, blah.

What are you doing? You can't mock him. All right, keep your wig on. Cut.

Let's do it. Again?

Yeah. Reset.

Action.

The spirit lives on.

The life and death of John Ingleby by Josh Stevenson. Em, what are you doing?

Cut there.

What? What's wrong with that?

You said John.

It's Josh Ingleby. Why can't you just do what you're told for once?

Em, why would I say Josh Ingleby?

He's John, you're Josh.

We done it.

What the hell was all that about?

Maggie!

Janice, is everything okay?

No, there's been a problem at the reception venue. Charlie's sorting it

It'll be fine, man.

Every wedding has a few hiccups. I wouldn't worry.

You'll be all right. Yeah, you're right.

I've only come in to get the cake off you anyway.

Cake? Hmm.

What cake?

What do you mean, what cake?

What are you doing, you big pillock? Get him out of here.

It's bad luck.

I came over as soon as I got your message.

Yeah, well, I've been on a reception and they haven't got a clue who I am.

Yeah, I know. I went over there on the way. I gave him a big earful, but

basically there's been a glitch.

Glitch? And you... I hate glitches.

There's been an outbreak of salmonella.

What, in an ice rink?

At the restaurant.

What do you mean, fish? I didn't even order fish.

Oh, no, Denise, it's food poisoning.

They'll have the kitchens closed down and all functions cancelled, including

reception. But they can't do that, can they? Yes, they can.

Hey, they have to refund your money, though. Yeah, but that's the least of

worries right now. We need to focus on the wedding.

What? We're still getting married, aren't we?

In the registry, yeah, but there'll be no reception. I'm so sorry, babe.

I know how much you wanted this to be perfect.

There must be something you can do. Not at this short notice.

But the main thing is, we get hitched. Hang on.

Don't go anywhere.

I've got an idea.

Oh, Max.

Come on, it'll be okay.

Stop it.

Liz, your brother's having a good time.

What? I just saw him over there with that guy, Emily.

Looks to be getting pretty cosy, if you ask me.

Are you serious?

Yeah, they were kissing.

Like, bold as brats.

You alright?

Yeah.

Feeling the car?

Yeah, yours for 400.

Is it yours to sell?

Yeah, well, it is now.

It can get you anything if you want, you know.

It's like a recruitment drive or something.

If you want it to be.

Nah, you're alright. I'll check the car out, though.

Alright, be my guest.

Right, we're going.

Spin.

The reception?

No way.

This isn't a school, not a wedding venue. In case you hadn't noticed, we've

bigger things to worry about, like exams.

Yeah, but this would be after school, after exams.

I thought we could use the canteen.

No, you're right.

Priorities and all that.

I think it's only fair that Janice has to wait for the happy ever after, don't

you?

Daniel, are you being sarcastic?

Yeah.

It's not her fault the venue had an outbreak of food poisoning, is it? Well,

it's not my fault either.

Yeah, but she's one of ours, isn't she? You know, this school educated her. It

gave her a job. Wouldn't it be brilliant if it helped her on the greatest day of

her life?

Maybe she's only really got us.

Well, I'm Craig. All right, all right.

Spare me the violin.

Wedding reception.

What? Right here, after school.

Here, steady on. You're nearly a married woman now.

Oh, my God, look at the time.

Well, Lauren's supposed to be doing me make -up in, and I've got to go home and

get ready. I'm never going to be ready in time.

Well, I'll get you dressed. Oh, no, no, no, no, that's OK.

It's bad luck for you to see it before the big moment, isn't it?

I've got a free period later. I'll go and pick it up. You get ready here.

Panic over. What about the grub? I'll see if Maggie can rustle us up some

butties. In the disco?

Hide the disco.

I'll rearrange the lift to pick you up from here. Bob's your uncle.

Well, it seems like you two have everything under control, so I may as

off. Yeah, me and Charlie can manage your eight and don't relate our wealth.

Of course.

Cheers, mate. Thank you.

That's right, it looks great.

Nicky, I thought Josh had finished his film.

He has, hasn't he? He was outside a minute ago, still filming.

I mean, I would have thought, as his teacher, he'd have made sure he'd have

it done earlier. Well, I mean, it's been a bit of a rush, but I think it's great

that he's given it his best shot.

You OK, son?

Yeah, fine play, wouldn't I be?

Two copies.

Well done.

And good time, too.

Thanks for all your help, mate.

You're welcome. Good luck with your exam.

You'd better get some revision in, quickly.

Tom, if you're worried about him, go and speak to Michael.

No offence, but we can't leave, all right?

are plenty of warnings so we can cover ourselves up. Shut up!

Are you two all right?

Oh, yeah. Magic.

Yeah, we're all laughing stock.

And you're a total embarrassment.

I'm the statement of the year.

Look, it's all going to be fine now. Look, I can come back to work and we can

put all of this behind us. You tried telling them that then.

Look, I didn't do what they accused me of. Do you think they care if you did?

matter what, it seems like you tried it on with her anyway.

This...

It's going to be better, I promise.

But why don't we move out of the house for a bit? Don't do this, Dad. So we can

be on our own, so we get things sorted out. Why can't you just sort yourself

out? Maddy, that's a bit harsh, isn't it? No, it's not. You need to grow up.

Look, if you want to move out, that's fine, but me and Zach ain't going

anywhere.

Stay in here, all right?

Come on, Dad.

Hey, Ed.

I was wondering... Well, actually, me and my dad were wondering... Your dad?

Yeah. We thought it might be nice if he came round for your tea one night.

Why?

Well, why do you think?

Because of you and Tarek.

Wait. Tarek told you we were seeing each other?

Yeah. That's right, isn't it?

You are seeing my brother, aren't you? Yeah, yeah, just... I didn't think you

knew. Yeah, I've got to come for tea, thanks.

Great.

It's pretty simple.

Oh, this business again. No, I think they're trying to talk to me.

Well, maybe you should try and contact them back.

You what?

Yeah, like, do one of them Ouija things.

The Ouija? Yeah.

I've done one before.

Yeah, maybe we should.

Yeah, come on, let's do it.

Why not?

Let's go.

You hypocrite.

Whoa, what are you talking about? You've seen Emily.

Look, she's got a crush on me. What can I say?

You're making me sick.

I thought you put me through everything.

That's different.

I haven't told Finn because of you.

What are you going to do?

As of now, I've got nothing to do with you.

Yeah, I love that.

Cool, man.

Finn,

you should be inside. Revision classes are not optional. And you shouldn't even

be on school premises for pre -contract. What are you going to do?

I'll call the police.

Treat yourself to a new car?

Or help yourself to someone else's? Nah, it's mine, sir. Been saving up for it,

haven't I?

You paid for it yourself, did you?

Dad helped me out a little bit. Yeah, right.

Inside.

You've got five seconds to disappear.

Safe for that, yeah?

Anything you need a favour, you know it's becoming it. Safe, isn't it?

I expected better from you.

Yeah, what do you want?

I think that's what they'll need to talk about.

Inside, the pair of you. I'm done talking to you anyway.

What are you doing?

I said you could have the reception here, but not the wedding as well.

I don't want to know.

We're running a bit late, you know, some last -minute hiccups.

So Janice is going to... Save it.

You're right, I don't want to know.

Fingers on the glass.

No one pushes. Deal?

Deal.

Is anybody there?

Have you seen Josh?

No, I haven't, actually.

Everything all right?

Yeah, fine.

Just trying to check that Josh is getting some last -minute revision in.

he feeling about it?

Yeah, good. A bit tense, but exam day gets to us all, doesn't it?

Oh, yeah. A lot to play for.

Tom, have you done the invigilator timetables?

Yeah, I'm on it.

Ooh, I know. Can we ask him what questions are going to be on my exam?

No point.

There's no time left to swap.

Look, if you don't want to do this... OK, we do, we do, we do. Er, OK.

Someone just have to get a proper question.

Is there anybody there?

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God, who's pushing it?

Well, I'm not pushing it. Well, me neither.

Josh. Of course not.

Who are you?

What's your name?

Can you tell us your name?

I told you the last one was a fluke.

No way. I can't believe this is happening.

Ingobe.

It freaked me out completely.

What are you two like?

You saw it. You saw it. Saw it.

Pushed it more like.

It was me, you idiots. I pushed it.

Oh, Anne!

What else do you think was happening?

John?

Is that you?

Speak to me, John.

I'm like a black canvas, mate. I'm quite anything unmet, sort of, or natural.

Overcooked. Give over. I want it subtle, but understated, but plenty of it,

yeah? Oh, whatever, just be quick, cos I've got to finish my revision.

Tom? Tom, may I remind you what an excellent invigilator I am, and that I

willing and more than able to sit in on the exams this afternoon?

Yeah, yeah. Fancy a quiet couple of hours, dear.

I, um... I wanted to let you know that I spoke to the kids about moving out,

and...

You're right.

So I told them that they should stay with you.

Are you okay with that?

Yeah. I mean, it makes perfect sense.

I think it's a good idea.

Take good care of them.

I know you will.

It's only temporary.

Maybe this is for the best.

Are you all right? You look like you're in pain.

I am.

Trudy?

What's the matter?

Probably a time of the month.

Quiet.

Actually, she hasn't been right all day.

Right. You guys carry on inviting.

Trudy, is that you?

Trudy?

What have you done with him?

I've been committed, Harriet.

You're pregnant?

Yes, definitely.

Okay, let's get you to my office and then we can get you to a doctor.

Okay.

I've been so...

stupid. I've let everyone down.

No, you haven't.

The most important thing is you.

Okay?

I should have never listened to Tariq. I should have been honest with Finn and I

should have told him I was pregnant.

So Finn doesn't know?

No. And Tariq, he works for the best.

I was booked in for a term later this morning.

But you couldn't go through with it?

No, I don't have the choice.

And what about Finn?

I tried earlier.

He doesn't want to know.

Do you want me to go and find him?

Yeah.

Okay.

It's okay.

It's gonna be fine.

Everything's gonna be alright, okay?

May I have a word?

Yeah, go on.

It's about Trudy.

Nice one, yeah?

Thanks for that.

What are you on about?

Dropping me in it with Trudy.

I didn't.

She said her and your dad wanted me to come over for tea, so I just... Yeah,

like that was ever going to happen.

I don't know what to do with my dad.

No.

Tarek.

Come with me.

I'll give you a good minute.

Why couldn't you tell me?

I didn't know how to.

You didn't have to do it by yourself, you know.

I'd have been there for both of you.

Yeah, would you?

Of course I would.

You could have told me anything.

We were good together.

We were.

Why did you shut me out?

Why did you dump me?

It's because of this.

I'm so sorry.

I tried to talk to you earlier.

I've made a mess of everything.

What about your family? Do they know?

Not Tarek. Please don't tell me Tarek knew and I didn't. It wasn't like that.

Did he tell you not to tell me?

He did, didn't he?

The car's here.

We really need to get you to see someone.

Yeah, of course. Come on, I'll come with you.

No, I'll be fine.

Do the exam.

There's no point us both going.

So Shaq was definitely close to you, Gene.

No doubt.

I think it's about time to part my lesson.

I

think

that makes the point, don't you?

You had to share the joke.

Let's take a walk, shall we, boys?

Yeah. Go.

Is this anything to do with you?

No, sir. No? So you were just passing by, you didn't see anything?

Didn't hear anything? What would you call that? A coincidence, maybe?

Although you'd have to be really stupid or really deaf not to hear that, sir.

The thing is, I don't really believe in coincidences.

Do you know whose car that is?

How convenient.

Right, this will wipe the smile off your faces.

From now on, every break and every lunchtime, you will both report to Mr.

Eh, what for?

You haven't done anything wrong.

You think I'm stupid?

Go.

Oi, Grantley. Forget it if this has got anything to do with that wedding,

because I've just about had it.

You were saying?

You.

Look beautiful.

Really, do you think?

You're not bad deep down, are you, budger? For an angry old baboon.

Just kidding.

Oh, wow.

You're the courage awaits.

Princess. Look at me.

Close your eyes.

No peeking.

That's it.

Now!

No, what is that for me?

It's a present from us lot. Kids included.

Hang on.

Hey,

don't leave us anywhere. We're going to get back. We're going to have a party.

Spread the word.

Reception's here after school.

You're all invited.

Wicked, eh? Not bad after our day of exams, is it?

Quite.

True. Look, I know you're angry.

I've been looking for you everywhere.

Call me.

It's terrifying, isn't it?

What is?

There.

I wouldn't know, mate.

It comes down to the other side.

It's built through the Ouija.

That's not my idea, mate.

You don't want to dabble in that stuff, man.

I don't know what's going on.

Don't worry about it, bro.

None of us do.

Come on.

You need to go inside the hall.

Come on.

Bags and coats to the back of the room, please.

Finder paper.

No chatting.

It'll be all right, mate.

Don't worry about it, yeah?

Come on, take a seat, Terry.

It's Josh.

He's been acting a bit, you know, weird.

I think there's something wrong. Don't even start. There are enough of your

nonsense today. I'm not, but he's... Sit down.

Here we are, mademoiselle.

Come on, let's get some foreclosed.

All right, Denise, big smile.

I feel like a wad. I love it.

Now, look, are you definitely sure about this?

Me?

I'm just doing my duty as standing father of the bride.

I've never been so sure about anything in my entire life.

This is a bit short.

Bye -bye.

You heard Mr. Clarkson. No talking.

Quiet.

You have two hours.

Turn your papers over.

Your exam starts now.

Straight to voicemail again.

Yeah, but it's probably at a range or something.

Isn't it the bride that's meant to be late?

Be here.

What about the best man?

We could give him a ring. He might know where he is.

Well, he didn't mention no -one, so... Well, has he got any mates we could

I've not met none of them.

That's a bit odd, isn't it?

How well do you know him?

Well, enough.

Well, he should be here by now.

Yeah, but he'd probably just stopped off to get a drink or something to calm his

nerves.

I'll, er...

I'll be as quick as I can.

What? Where are you going now? You just sit tight.

It's too hot.

Is it cheap?

Josh,

get up.

I told you there was something wrong with me. It's set down, Tarek.

What is it, Sasha?

Come on, we'll be fine. We just need you to get your back to your desk.

What's wrong with her?

Don't touch me!

Oh, my God.

All right, go and sit back down. Back to your papers.

Josh, what's going on, Saul?

Come on, talk to me.

Do you level with me, Mickey?

Is there something I'm missing here?

I've seen a psychiatrist.

All right, but he's been on medication and it's been under control.

Well, obviously not.

I think we need to get an ambulance down here.

Josh, we're okay, aren't we? Come on, it's fine. Tell me.

I'm scared.

Scared of what, son?

Exams? Pressure? No, no, no. Can't you see I've got the pox? Look.

Look.

Come on, Josh. No, I said don't touch me!

Lauren, back into the exam, please.

I should have said earlier, Josh has stopped taking his medication.

Since when?

About a week ago.

Why did you stop taking the medication? No, no, no, Dad.

Please, just make it stop.

Make him go away, please.

I don't like it. Make what go away? Please let me help you. Can't you hear

Hear what, Josh?

It's the nursery rhyme. The one about the blade. They've been singing it all

day. It's everywhere it goes.

Come here, son. No, I said don't speak!

You're going to catch something, can't you see?

Please, Josh.

Who's called an ambulance?

Tom, I did.

It's for his own sake.

Look, it's okay.

No one's going to hurt you, I promise.

What are you doing? Janice has gone bananas back there.

It's none of your business.

Is that Janice's?

No, it's some junk. We're having a clear out, that's all.

What, a date?

It's a temporary thing, all right?

Short -term cash flow problem.

I owe some money, OK?

Oh, I should have known.

I knew you'd be trouble.

Talk it, mate, you're getting it all wrong. All right, I'm doing this to

Janice. And Cheryl.

You cannot mess with these people. You don't know what they're like. Yeah, and

wasn't born ten minutes ago, unlike Janice.

What about the reception, eh?

You kept the money, didn't you?

You were never going to marry her.

She's down there waiting for you. Yeah, you know why?

Because the stupid cow insisted on booking the registry office herself.

There was never going to be a wedding.

You just wanted to rip her off, didn't you?

You lying... I want to call the police. Get out of my way.

Please, get off.

You're not going anywhere.

No one does this to Denise and gets away with it. Go on, get out.

I'm warning you.

Where's Craig? Is he OK?

He's not coming.

What do you mean?

I caught him putting your things into his van.

Sorry, I tried to stop him.

He's cleaned you out, Janice. He took everything.

Don't be tough.

Has he put you up to this?

No.

He never booked a reception.

He's never going to go through with a marriage.

He's not the man you thought he was.

Well... Well, I don't understand.

I made so many plans.

Tom should have said something. We could have helped.

How? By making allowances.

Easing up on the pressure. We'd have found a way.

Easy.

Do you hear it?

Do you hear it?

Ring -a -ring -a -roses. Ring -a -ring -a -roses.

I don't know.

What's happening to him, eh?

He's safe.

He's going to be all right. I promise.

You told me everything would be okay.

It will be.

For the best. I don't want to go.

Come on, Josh.

Please. Josh. Josh. For the best.

Please, Josh. I've got the young black blues.

They're following me.

I've got the young black blues. They just won't let me

be.

I'm sorry about earlier. So you should be. You dropped me right in it.

I said I'm sorry.

I feel pretty bad now.

About that and Josh.

I've been winding him up all day.

I didn't know he was sick.

Yeah, well maybe you should think before you open that stupid mouth of yours.

You're not having a good day, are you?

Best mate gets carted off.

And what? Oh, is that your car?

Sorry. Have you ever let up?

Not enough to turn through the gates, we know.

What are you talking about? Who do you think you are, you? Family.

Unlike you.

The sooner she gets rid of that baby, the better. What?

Don't you know your muppet?

She's had a miscarriage.

This day's just getting even better.

Okay, thank you.

He's closed me account.

But they want much in there, but... Savings for Cheryl, mainly.

If it took it all, what are we going to do?

We'll come up with something.

Listen, I'm going to have to ring the school, tell them what's happened.

No, no.

It'll make it worse. I can't bear the thought of people knowing.

We're going to have to say something. They're all waiting there.

Well, let's go.

What?

To the school.

I assure you, you don't have to, you know.

But if I don't go, then they're going to think this thing is up.

I can't cope with that.

All right.

I promised him a party.

I'm going to give him a party.

Waterloo Road, please, mate.

What's happened here, then?

It's not about this.

Made to take you up on your offer from before. You and your gang want in.

What's with the change of heart?

Tariq Siddiqui.

What's he done?

Enough.

All right, then. If you're serious, then... Let's just see what you're made

But aren't we missing something?

Like a room.

Right, everyone, listen up.

The wedding's off.

Well, I dumped him.

At the altar, if you must know.

Well, it's best that I realise now than later, eh?

So now I'm young, free and single.

And I don't want to waste a good party.

I'll pay for a dirt job.

I've seen her.

What really happened, Daniel?

They stood her up.

They did it when I took everything.

Worst thing is the police said he's done it before.

I've got the heart to tell her. Well, if the guy thinks he can flee to one of us

and get away with it, he can think again.

I'll cancel all of his invoices. He might get a penny from us. Good.

It's not going to help Janice, though, is it?

Don't worry about that.

We'll do right by her.

Like you said, we're all she's got.

Sedated. They're going to keep him in for a couple of weeks.

I worked his day with him and said there's no point.

Yeah.

Just watching this.

Life is so simple.

So clear.

Life is so simple.

It's in a bad way. How did I get this all wrong?

It's not your fault, Tom.

Isn't it?

I knew you were good if something wasn't right.

I let it go. I backed off.

I should have been right on it.

You want to know?

Yeah, I should have.

Instead of solving those stupid exams.

My boy needed me.

You're a great dad.

Okay, everyone knows it. Josh knows it too.

And we will.

Then, may everyone.

Well, I hear your dad's decided it's best if you go stay with me during term

time.

Is that what he said?

What we told him.

Um, that's not quite how he painted it.

Sounds like dad to me.

Is that okay if we stay here?

Of course it is.

Look, your dad and I, we just have a few things to sort out, that's all.

Okay.

We won't be any trouble.

I don't believe that when I see it.

Come on now, put the cake.

I would have been fine.

I hope Janice is all right.

Well, none of this would have happened if they'd taken their time.

People these days, they take the vows while bungee jumping off a cliff, and

they're divorced by the time it springs back up.

Oh, I don't know. It's nice to have a bit of excitement.

Sometimes you've just got to seize the moment.

Yeah, I'm fine.

I don't know, but I should have been doing my first dance now.

I still can be.

I'll be honoured.

I've got two left feet, mate.

Tento!

Special request for the runaway bride.

Hey! Hey!

Hey!

Are you ready?

Go.

We're undertaking a review of Waterloo Road.

All I can do is hand you the card again.

Or you could just tell him I'm here.

I've left your birthday card. I'm sorry. My dad only managed a bottle of

champagne. Got booze. This is what she produced in the exam this morning.

No, it's not her work.

You have no right telling me what I can and can't do. Yes, I can.

Because I'm your dad. Yeah, well, I wish you would.

Someone said you were selling vodka shots.

No, no cash, no shots.

Would you say anything else you fancy?

Maybe.

Lorraine? Michael.

Thick. Really thick.

Any condiment that's not easy to spread or get out the bottle. What is it really

feel like to be mugged? BBC 3 hears from the victims and their attackers, while
