We all need you.

Stay with me, Tom.

Tom!

It's a big deal back in the edge, Tom.

It didn't count the back end, did it?

If I fail, I fail.

Don't you think I deserve a chance?

I don't know if you dare say that I love you.

I'm sorry, Christine, but I don't love you.

You look like you could use a drink.

arrived, so I stuck another bag in the pot.

I thought I'd be first, then.

I've got my meeting with Robert Bain from the council to prepare for. What

should it get?

Oh, well, I never get as much done as I'd like to on inset day, so... Well,

try not to disturb you.

Ditto.

Oh, actually, re -your meeting with Bain, I was going to put these on your

They're copies of the yearly budget for St Dominic's, and have a look. Hi.

Thought they might help you.

Thanks, Adam. That's really good of you.

Hey, we're a team, aren't we?

Happy birthday to me.

Happy birthday to me.

You didn't forget, did you, Missy?

Sorry, guys.

The milk's off.

It's not your fault.

What are we going to do? We'll have to have them with no milk.

I'm not hungry.

Lisa, you must be hungry.

You're not going to eat last night either.

Who's that?

Move. Kitchen. Go.

Don't tell me.

You're in the bath.

Aye, sir. Look, I'm sorry about... I had my earphones in.

You know why I'm here, Larry.

Look, you'll get my sword to you.

And 10 % on top, right? By five o 'clock this evening, right? That's a promise.

You shut your dumb ass in me, you bully!

But I leave my brother alone!

Oh!

Now,

you never told me you had a little sister, Larry.

Interesting.

She's got nothing to do with her.

Well, it might have.

If you don't get your act together.

Five o 'clock, Larry.

On me.

And your sister.

On a wee date.

Marty! Shut up!

Right, we're in trouble, Lisa.

Big trouble.

Look, just keep your heads down today.

Yeah? And you, keep your mouth shut. No blabbing.

Right, come here.

Morning, all.

Morning. You look smart, Audrey.

It's quite a special day, so I thought I'd better mark the occasion.

Yeah, we were just saying how weird it can be, weren't we?

Tom.

Yes, quite.

All right.

I suppose I'd better get back inside.

I'm surprised there's room.

What time is Igor taking a poll?

No, no, Nicky.

Hello. Oh, Sue.

Darren, you... First warning of the term.

Knocking over teachers will not be tolerated. Are you sure a teacher?

Well, you know now, so walk.

Don't run.

Sue Spark, our new science NQT.

Nicky will look after you.

Hiya. Nicky Boston, head of the PRU.

That's the first time I've properly been called a teacher.

It's not the only thing you're going to get called in here.

Come on, I'll show you around.

What's the occasion?

It's my birthday.

You'll be expecting your telegram from the Queen any day then.

You doing anything special?

Well, I was thinking if anyone's free after work, we could head to the pub.

Drinks are on me.

Sounds nice.

George,

this is Sue Spark.

This is George Windsor, Head of Modern Languages. Hello.

And this is our Deputy Head, Simon Loseley.

Simon and I already know each other. You did your training at my old school,

didn't you? Yeah.

Welcome to Waterloo Road.

Do you want a cup of tea?

Yes, please.

We really would have expected you to get in touch last term, Mr Brown. I'm

sorry, it's just... Look, they're dead keen to join, right? It's all been a bit

last minute.

And there's only the three of you at home?

Yes. Yeah, I'm the legal guardian, and since Mum... My mum's got mental health

issues. She's not home.

I see.

Um... Well, you'll have to wait until after my next meeting, I'm afraid.

It's just I've got a job on this morning and if I'm late, then I'm in trouble.

Well, Sonia can do the basic paperwork for now and you can come back later in

the week for a follow -up chat, OK?

Sonia?

Sorry, it's a bit stuffy in here, isn't it?

What's your full name?

OK, guys, let's get started.

Thanks, Simon. I'll take it from here.

Sorry I got held up.

I'll try and make this brief.

Welcome back to another term.

Hurrah!

You're going to need a sense of humour over the next term.

There's no way of sweetening the pill, I'm afraid.

We're going to have to cut back in virtually every area now we don't have

Lorraine Donegan's plush fun. Yeah, Waterloo Road was living in a bubble as

independent.

We have all worked in the night room schools before, Simon.

It's true this is a transitional term, but there's no reason we shouldn't rise

to the challenge, and I don't want the pupils to suffer as a result. Our job is

to make sure they've had the best education possible when we come out the

side. And will you still be head when we do?

Oh, sorry, I just understood you were only acting head.

Yes, well, I'll be in the position for this term at least.

What matters is we all have a job to do.

Oh, George, can I get your departmental budgets, please?

Well, you know, I'd rather open a vein than let you down. You are the one

department I'll be investing in, so help me out here.

Why I left Shanghai, I'll never know.

Sorry I'm late.

I got slowed down by my travelling companion.

Well, didn't want to miss the special assembly.

I'm worried about her.

She was up for crack at dawn this morning.

Morning, everyone.

Good to see so many familiar faces.

But I'd like to welcome all newcomers to Waterloo Road.

I hope the next time was fruitful for you, and I'm sure your teaching

will help make you feel at home here.

I'd especially like to welcome our new teacher, Miss Spark, who is joining the

Science Department.

But it is also appropriate that we say goodbye to someone.

Tom Clarkson was a much -loved teacher and valued colleague who sadly died in

accident at the end of last term.

Most of you will know Mr Budgeon, who has been off sick.

And I'm glad to see he is here to lead us in a farewell to Mr Clarkson.

Bear with me.

I'll keep this simple, because actually it is.

For those of you who didn't know Mr Clarkson, Tom.

I'm only sorry that you didn't get the opportunity.

For those of us who did, our lives will have been enriched because of it.

Mr Clarkson was the proud and dedicated coach of the Waterloo Road football

team, who will be playing a boys versus girls friendly this afternoon.

In the meantime, I would like to invite you to...

Join me in a minute's silence of remembrance.

Katie?

That's where he fell.

Right there.

Why don't you come back inside?

He's one poxy minute. He doesn't want to bring him back.

We've got the football match this afternoon. That's in his memory.

How can we do a football match without a coach?

Well, I'm... I'm taking over for now.

Yeah?

Well, good luck with that.

Can you leave me alone now?

Please?

And the brown twin.

Lenny and Lisa Brown. I knew them when I worked at Havelock High. I saw them in

assembly. Yeah, of course. They enrolled this morning.

It's just the state of them. I know. They certainly could use a good scrub.

The thing is, when I had them at Havelock, they were bright, chirpy -wee

Well, I dare say they hadn't hit puberty then. Well, yes.

And they had their mother at home.

She's in long -term psychiatric care, apparently, so they're doing the best

can without her. Oh?

How very sad.

Need more glue?

Don't know where that is.

Lenny and Lisa Brown?

Remember me?

No. Miss McFall?

From Havelock High?

Yes. Well remembered.

You give me detention for cheating when I never... Really?

Well, water under the bridge.

Now, haven't you two changed?

I remember your brother at Havelock was hoping to go to Catering College. What

was he doing?

What about your brother?

What's he up to these days?

I don't have a brother.

Yeah? Well, that's your lookout.

It's got to go on.

Welcome, class.

Hello.

Take a seat at your workstation.

Write your name on the stickers provided so that I can get to know who you all

are. I'm your new teacher, Miss Spark.

Hopefully, you're all going to be my bright sparks this term. Oh, my God.

And speaking of bright sparks, it's fitting that our first lesson should be

simple introduction to electricity.

Oh, er, we're working in groups of three today.

No, no, wait.

Er, sit back down, please.

Are you joking me? They're rank.

No, I've taught this lesson for groups of three, so sit back down, Rhiannon, or

I shall be forced to give you a warning.

I don't feel so good, Lisa.

But you need to eat.

Where's the stuff Larry gave you?

Aren't you a bit old to be in year four?

Shut your face, I'm in year six.

So what, your special needs or something?

She's in the P .I .U., so she's repeating, like, everything.

Just the science module actually meant to pay effect.

Plus, maybe I'll, like, hang around when month is.

Scales?

What's that?

Nothing. Let me see.

Serial. That one's not like a loser.

What are you doing? You've ruined it. We've ruined it.

Rosie, how was that supposed to be?

Let me see. It was supposed to be a proper memorial. Now he's ruined it.

Hey, hey.

There's nothing to see here.

Nanny?

Okay, get your head down.

It's all right. It's like he's replaceable or something.

I mean, Miss Boston's taking his English class. Miss Boston's coaching the

football team.

Well, she is not, Mr Clarkson, and she'll never match up.

She's supposed to.

Look, Casey, I know you're hurting, all right?

But it's not going to make anything better blaming Miss Boston. In fact, I

reckon it's going to make you feel worse.

How could it? Because you're a fair person.

And you know Miss Boston's only trying to help.

She really cared for Mr Clarkson, too.

So she's probably got a really good idea of what you're going through.

You've just got to give her a chance.

I've brought the things from Mr Clapton's memorial.

I've fixed it.

I made it myself in CDT.

You'd better take better care of it.

I thought we could print off another photo from the school website and we

put it in the trophy cabinet.

Yeah, with the stripper's rough whistle.

Good idea.

Look, Casey, I've been thinking.

I know you said you weren't playing in the friendly today, but I'm just... I'm

worried that you might end up regretting it, because... Well, like you said

yourself, the team really mattered to Mr Clarkson, so don't you think he'd want

the captain that he trained himself to go and show the boys what's what?

I suppose, if it is for him.

I think you can make that pretty clear yourself.

If you'd just agree to say a few words.

So much for keeping our heads down.

Here we are. One for you as well, Flower.

But this grand Annie's looking better already.

Well, even so, I'd like to speak to your brother. See if he can take you home as

you're feeling poorly.

Larry works mornings all this week.

I don't need to go home. I'm fine now.

OK, but I think it would be a good idea if he took you to see your family GP,

just in case. I'll call him shortly.

OK. I've been trying to explain to Lenny and Lisa how much better they might

feel if they had a nice hot shower before school, washed their hair.

And we told her, our boiler's getting fixed.

But you can use the facilities here.

And Mrs Budgeon said she'd find you some PE clothes to wear whilst we have yours

washed. If they wanted.

Eh, I'm not taking my clothes off.

Thank you, Miss McFall.

Laney was lucky you were there when he blacked out, but I think you can leave

this to us now.

Some things never change.

Best leave him to it.

Don't worry.

He set a firework off the right next to his head and he still won't wake up.

Yeah.

There's been such a lot of change around here recently, it must be difficult for

you all.

Look.

I know I've been off with you. That's understandable.

I took your job. No, I thought you were a prat.

Well, a bit of both, really.

But either way, I'm sorry.

You're not a bad guy.

Thanks.

Let's just remember we're on the same side, so we'll try and work together,

yeah?

Well, the main thing is that Casey gets looked after.

Yeah.

Simon, I'm just off to my council meeting.

No worries.

We've got it covered here.

Well, that looked cosy.

He's still a smug know -it -all.

But you know what? I think he really cares about the kids, so I have decided

bury the hatchet somewhere other than his actual head.

Good, I'm glad to hear it.

See, Mr Lowsley's lining up his allies then.

You mark my words, he's got his eye on your job.

Isn't there a dialysis machine missing you at home?

Just warning you, Christine.

No need, Grantley. I'm on to him.

Lenny seems OK now, but it would be good if you could call the office back to

discuss a few things.

Thanks.

What are you doing? I said I would call the brother. I just wanted to make sure.

Look. I understand your concern, Audrey, but these things need to be handled

sensitively. Put your papers together.

It just seems obvious to me that those children are being neglected.

They've only been here a morning.

We can't go making assumptions.

Christine, I knew them when the mother was still at home. The deterioration is

unbelievable. There are plenty less than fragrant teenagers in this building.

You can't violate their privacy by demanding they strip off and jump in the

shower. The boy's sickly.

He fainted from hunger.

Yes, and now he's here.

He'll get at least one hot meal today.

Très bien, Hamish.

Chazni, qu 'est -ce que vous avez fait pendant les vacances?

Sorry.

It's the same question as I've just asked three other people. What did you

during your holidays?

Got away with my mate and nicked my uncle's car.

In France?

If you don't know the words for wasted or nicked, then be creative, perhaps.

Whilst in your cup, you purloin the vehicle belonging to your mother's

against his consent.

If you say so.

No, if you say so, Shazni. Tomorrow, in French, in front of your colleagues,

word perfect ten times.

You.

Qu 'est -ce que vous avez fait pendant les vacances?

I know what you're asking, but we don't speak French.

Yeah, hence the classes.

But as you seem to be lagging behind even these gibbons, I have a suggestion

help you catch up.

Now, make sure there is enough information on the monarch of your

support your project, or you'll find yourself struggling.

Denise, is your head itching?

No. Seriously, I think there's something in my eye. Can you look?

I know

you two.

I thought you'd been sent back to class.

The French teacher told us to come and catch up on some basic vocabulary off

internet. Because we're new.

Oh, right.

We don't care.

It's not like anyone wants us there anyway.

They just need to get to know you better, I'm sure.

As do I. I wanted to apologise if I upset you both earlier.

I couldn't see the colour back in your teeth, Lenny.

Do you know, I'm a cat fan as well.

My cat Mitzi, I spoil her rotten.

I'm not a cat fan.

Just a T -shirt.

Oh, I see.

You don't have any pets?

We used to have a dog called Moth, but she got run over.

Sad? When was that?

Anyway, feel free to come and find me whenever you need to. Or if you just

to talk.

We don't.

Meh.

Maybe she's just trying to be nice.

Yeah. Or maybe she's trying to stick her nose in it.

Mind you, if she wants us to be friends, maybe we should take her up on her

offer.

I'm afraid so, babes. I've just seen one.

Oh, I've got nits in my hair.

So, wear them with pride or shave your head.

That's what they do inside.

Oh, that's helpful.

Well, they've got to feed somewhere.

Circle of life.

It's them.

You don't know that. I thought, dude, that stupid new teacher made me sit next

to them. You just know that they're crawling.

You've clearly got big plans for embedding Mandarin into the curriculum.

Mandarin is going to be the first language of business by the time these

enter the workplace.

And how many of Waterloo Road's progeny do you envisage going into international

commerce?

They'll have a major advantage over many of their peers.

Mm -hm.

And you're also pitching for a wider vocational syllabus for those less

students. We want to be progressive, but... ..realistic at the same time.

Mm. Well, I have to be honest, Christine. I mean...

We're cutting back in all areas at the moment. You're asking for a budget

increase. A temporary one.

Just for this first year to help us with the transition from being an

independent.

Sandra, can you bring us some teas, please?

Well, hello.

We just wanted to say thank you for being so nice to us.

It's easy being nice, Lisa.

Much easier than being unpleasant.

Yeah.

So, I do like cats, actually.

I don't know why I said I didn't. Well, it's hard when you're new, isn't it?

Everybody asking you questions about yourself.

What about shy, I suppose?

Well, I'm always here.

And it doesn't have to be in school hours, either.

If you need any extra tuition, I could come round after school. No.

Larry works from home sometimes.

We can't disturb him.

OK.

Well, I live just round the corner in Barrington Road and I'm free most

weekends. So if you've any trouble at school or at home... There's no trouble

home. You could meet Mitzi. Yeah, thanks, Miss.

Lenny?

I just went a bit dizzy again.

Put your head between your knees.

Look, I don't think you can wait until lunchtime. I've got some nice coffee

in the staff room.

How does that sound?

No, I'm all right, thanks.

I'm not going to take no for an answer. Let me just get my bag.

Oi, mingers!

Well, someone's got to do something.

Why did you have to do that? What did she ever do to you? She give me nips in

what? Get to the cooler at once!

I see you've called your manifesto putting pupils first.

Do you think your predecessor had a different set of priorities?

No.

Of course, Michael tried his best.

His best was pretty good, Christine.

Look.

I appreciate your enthusiasm. It's admirable.

But this proposal is naive, to say the least. And the naivety is not an asset

a head teacher.

I'd rather call it being proactive.

You'll see that I've made savings in other areas.

Christine, you're only the acting head.

I'm not about to make radical decisions about Waterloo Road's budget without

someone permanently at the helm.

I'm advertising the post to start next term, and of course you're welcome to

apply. Well, I hope I can persuade you I'm the right person for the job before

then. Hmm.

Well, leave this with me. I'm not saying an outright no to everything.

Your Mandarin initiative has legs, I think.

But you'd be better served learning to run Waterloo Road on a tight budget than

robbing Peter to pay Paul.

How's Simon Lawsley settling in?

Yeah, he's, um... He's rising to the challenge, I think.

Good. Good.

I'm glad to hear it.

And he would be a useful resource to you, given the circumstances.

Oh, my God.

All right, ladies, clear off, please. Come on, you shouldn't be here anyway if

you haven't got PE. Come on.

It's an old PE kit, but it'll do whilst you're at your own things.

This shampoo and this is expensive.

Come on, dear, there's no -one here. You need to get warm. You change around

there.

Take by the look of it.

Lenny.

Lenny. I need to know right now what is going on at home.

Nothing much. Really?

Well, that's not what Lisa just said.

Lenny, I'm very worried about you and your sister. I need to know.

Larry's only doing it for us.

Honest. I mean, he's a brilliant big brother.

I know he is.

He's not going to get in trouble, is he?

Just for a bit of weed.

Anyone heard from Christine?

No. Still no word from the Brown twins' brother?

Not yet.

Let's hope he's busy fumigating his siblings' clothing.

Oh, Mr Windsor.

You might want to spend a little more time on your teaching skills rather than

poking fun at vulnerable pupils.

Do you have olfactory nerves?

I do.

But I've been channeling my energies into addressing the problem rather than

ostracising the children themselves.

I suppose you're worried about offending the parent.

There are no plants.

Then why is everyone pussyfooting around, then?

Waterloo Road. How can I help?

Good afternoon.

Yeah, that should be fine.

I walked out of that office and right in front of me... ..there was about 100

bottles of wine just sitting there from... ..some daft function.

I could have swiped a lot of them.

But I didn't. I walked right out of the building and I even managed to walk

right past the office on my way here.

That's when I knew for the first time that I really...

Look, you get your money, then you leave us alone.

I know you.

And I knew you once.

Look, Larry, I'm here about the twins.

Lenny was... I knew it.

He can't keep his mouth shut, wait till I get my hands on him. Lenny wasn't

well, and it's better now that he's had something to eat, and he was telling me

all about you and how well you look after him and Lisa.

But... What's happening here?

It can't go on.

I think... You are aware of that. But I'm aware, dude. I know the old town.

Larry, I'm going to get my phone and I'm going to walk out of here. Yeah?

And then what?

Call the police?

You need help, Larry.

No young man like you should have so much responsibility.

Do me that!

Lisa's clean and dry.

and get some cream for the bite, but she's embarrassed and upset.

You cannot really blame her.

Christine's going to need to speak to their guardian sooner rather than later.

know it's a sensitive issue, but the twins aren't going to learn anything if

they're being bullied because of their hygiene.

I know we can't stick Lenny under a shower against his will, but we could

suggest he plays in the match, and that way he gets a good runaround, and they

all head for a wash afterwards. Good idea. Where is Christine, anyway? She

should have been back ages ago.

I used to think these meetings were an embarrassment.

Like they were beneath me.

They saved my life.

Miss McFall.

Miss McFall.

Look, you're okay. You just hit your head, but you're going to be fine.

You're okay.

I said I'm okay.

I'm really sorry, Miss McFall. I didn't mean it.

No, you didn't. It's been really hard, you know?

Bringing the twins up on my own.

My mum... She's left us with all these debts.

That's why I had to... You know?

That drug, Larry.

Dealing with criminals.

Stay to the place.

Maybe it would be better just for a short time for Lenny and Lisa to go into

care. No.

Just till you get back on your feet. But they're not going into care, do you

understand?

What's your question?

Hmm. I suppose I could be surprised to see any of you at all.

I know you were all invited to the football match this afternoon instead.

Quite.

Although, frankly, I fancy getting out there and cheering on the lads. It's not

about anyone else.

What do you say?

Great. So even the teacher isn't interested?

Unlike Godguan over there.

It's all right, Kevin. No -one likes to show off.

Go see.

Mr Clarkson was the best coach ever.

He knew it's what's in here that counts.

It doesn't matter if you're a boy or a girl.

He went out on a limb for me and I know he did for much more of you.

I miss him and I want to win for him today.

But whoever wins or loses...

Let's just please remember the man who should be here today.

Cheering us all on.

Well, for now, we've got a new coach.

So, let's go on with the show.

All right, let's keep this clean and fresh!

Don't miss the clowns, bro!

Isn't my mum supposed to be here? She had a meeting with the clowns, so she

be running late.

One case.

What the hell is Christine?

Audrey, what's happened?

I need to talk to her.

I'm going to pick up the twins.

I was really worried after all the voicemails.

Yeah, they're at the football.

They'll be back sooner if you want to wait.

No, I need to get them.

If you could tell me where it is.

Come on then, I'll walk you over.

Audrey, are you sure you're alright?

Listen, why don't you come with us? A bit of fresh air might do you good.

Oh, it's you.

Where have you been?

I've been worried about you. Why?

Are you fine?

You weren't here for kick -off and I had this feeling that... Oh, you and your

feelings, Colin.

Lisa!

Is that Lanny?

Come on.

Hey, you can't come on the pitch. Hey, this has nothing to do with you.

Pack it in. Tell her she's getting in the way of the match.

I don't care about your stupid match or your stupid dead teacher.

Hey!

Get your hands off me, sister!

Stop, we're going.

Now.

Is there a problem, Mr. Brown? It's a family thing. They've got to go.

Larry? What's up, Larry?

Look, that old witch McFall's been in the flat. Right, we need to leave it.

I'm arresting you on suspicion of possession of drugs and potential to

do not have to say anything, but it may harm your defence if you do not mention

when questioned something that you later lie on a quote.

Anything you do, it's not needed given in evidence. Do you understand?

You fat stabbing old cow! We're going to kill you!

Enough!

Well, don't let them split up the twins, please!

What have you done?

Is it always like this?

Like what?

Tch, yeah. Tell me about it.

OK, thanks a lot.

Bye.

Social services are going to get back to us. I said it was an emergency.

Yeah, and Casey's waiting for you in the cooler. I'll have to leave her to you

for now, Nicky.

Sit down, Audrey.

I don't want to have to punish her. She can't just lash out like that.

She's got serious anger issues. I'm going to talk to her again when she's

down. She needs to find a way to express her feelings without... Leather in her

classmates.

How dare you take it upon yourself to go wading in like that?

Those children needed help.

You just got their brother arrested in front of everyone. How helpful do you

think that was?

You tried to defend that boy, growing drugs to sell to innocent children.

Don't insult me, Audrey.

What Larry Brown's been doing is illegal and putting the twins in danger, but

that was not... The way to handle the situation.

You spooked a desperate and volatile kid. Anything could have happened.

You should never have gone round to that house, but having done so, you should

have immediately spoken to me. I tried and you weren't here.

And you should have left. It's the social services to deal with the police.

You were supposed to be back.

And he turned up. I was scared. I didn't know what to do. I mean, Christine,

where were you?

My meeting went on. Is that OK with you?

I suppose what's done is done.

What do you think? I mean, perhaps I could apologise, try and explain.

I would stay well clear if I were you, Audrey.

I beg your pardon?

It's Chow Yun -fat's death speech.

Crouching tiger.

Hidden dragon.

I've learned it.

Okay.

So, uh, how was my pronunciation?

Um, woeful.

Well, see, Chalky says that magic is the future.

So I've been learning it off the internet during the break.

The internet.

I thought teenage boys only used that for one thing.

All right, well, I'm looking forward to your next lesson, sir.

Hmm.

Oh, Audrey, just heard the UN are looking for more peacekeepers, if you're

to lose then.

It's all done.

It's their birthday.

George, this is not a good time. Sorry, lovely, I know you must be up to your

eyes in it, but I'm wondering if I could just run something past you.

Some of my Mandarin students are more advanced than others, and it seems sort

unfair to hold them back because of the demands of the beginners. I'd like to be

able to give them the attention they really deserve.

What do you want, George? A teaching assistant to pick up the overspill. I

someone who's very reasonable.

Why not?

Mandarin seems to be the only thing in the budget the council aren't going to

cut, so have him come in and see me. Sonia?

Make an appointment, will you?

Right.

What's his name?

He's a she, actually.

What's going on?

Thoughts on the detention?

Yeah, you are.

Well, we might as well make it productive.

You need to find a way of expressing your anger, can you see?

Without hurting anyone.

You've got to learn some discipline and control.

I used to box in the army.

You up for it?

Social services on their way?

Yes. Yes, they are.

Lenny lost two stones when we were split up before.

And he never spoke for six months. So why don't you just stick us in the jail

well? We can look after ourselves at home.

Take Larry's gear away or whatever, but why can't we just stay at the house if

that's what we really want? That is not an option, Lenny.

But staying together might be.

Pupils of Waterloo Road.

Well... There's only the guest room available at Schoolhouse. That's really

meant to be for boarders' family visits.

Yeah, but you won't get any visits until half -term, will you? And the twins

could double up with other boarders during busy times until more space

available.

We can give it a go.

Thanks, Maggie.

I'll speak to the social workers, but it makes sense in terms of your education

as well.

I'm glad to see you two are going to a good home tonight.

If anyone can take care of you, Mrs. Budgeon can.

Well, from what I hear, the brother was doing a pretty good job.

We're going to a nice place tonight.

And laddies and a sale.

Lenny, you must understand.

No.

I don't.

Neither do I.

If you want to ignore the damage drugs inflict on our society, then I don't.

Audrey!

Audrey, have you ever stopped to think that just maybe sometimes that you don't

get it?

Those kids, they love their brother, and he loves them, and now he's gone.

Yes, but surely they're much better off with you.

You've been on your own way too long, and no wonder.

Who could ever, ever live up to your standards?

Audrey?

Hey.

How about we go to the acting club, change my plans?

No, sorry.

Sorry, Sonia. I've got... I've got marking to do.

OK,

go on. Get your guard up. Come on.

Get your guard up and leave yourself wide open.

Come on.

And again.

Get out there.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

God.

Every time.

Sue? I don't know what you're worried about.

You've been officially introduced now.

I just prefer to keep our private life private. I don't want to seem

unprofessional. Okay, boss man.

How'd it go, anyway?

Pretty crazy.

Oh, my dad rang. He's cooking me dinner to celebrate my first day in the job.

And, of course, his future son -in -law's invited, too.

Just getting ahead on some marking.

Look, I shouldn't have been so abrupt.

I should have been here.

I'm sorry.

No, I'm sorry.

I just feel... I feel invisible sometimes.

Everybody just seems to be so busy, busy with their jobs and their friends and

their families.

I just wanted to make a difference to someone.

I wanted to matter.

Audrey, believe it or not, I know exactly how you feel.

I felt so insignificant today.

All I wanted to do was drown myself in a bottle of vodka.

So I stopped off at the office.

That's why I was so late back.

Christine, you didn't.

No.

I went to a support meeting instead. I decided that was the better option.

You talk to me next time, won't you?

You too.

That

might

not be the best reception, but at least you can play DVDs if you want.

You'll have to share a room till another one comes free. I'm not leaving,

Lainey. No way.

Look, you are perfectly...

It's safe here, I promise you that. And what about Laddie?

How safe is he in a cell somewhere just for trying to take care of us?

One thing at a time, eh?

Dinner's downstairs at seven.

I've used all the knit shampoo and they'll need a new bottle.

Ah, Rhiannon, back here.

I've been over these two with my knit comb and they're both clean as a

So it looks like you're the only one with the knits, Rhiannon.

Oh, what?

Thanks,

Mrs Budgin. You're very welcome.

We can get out that way, down the ledge.

What?

Well, you don't want to stay here, do you?

Yeah, I do.

I mean, it's warm and clean and there's dinner.

Like she said, it's safe.

Look, just for now, Lise, there are really, really nice people here.

Please.

OK.

But I'm not letting her away with it.

McFall. Well, what can we do?

She told us to come round any time.

Dad?

Smells great.

Darling.

Oh, well,

did you survive?

Oh, just about. That place is a madhouse.

I was saying to Simon, anything after today would be a piece of cake.

How'd the meeting go with Christine Marguerite? Oh, no, no.

No speaking out of school, eh?

Get it?

Come on, there's a bottle open.

We can get down this way.

What now?

I don't know.

Chuff them girls through a letterbox.

Smash their windows in.

For a heart attack.

I don't want to get into trouble, Lief.

Come on.

I've got an idea.

My poor cat.

Where's my cat?

I'd like to introduce you all to your new Mandarin teaching assistant, Mrs.

Windsor.

If you'd like to look taken in, it would be excellent.

There, there, there.

Not just anything could be a light sending, you know.

They're redundant.

Like a height -weight ratio for a start.

Come on, guys.

We're on strike.

Well, you're excluded.

You're excluding me?

All of you.

Is anyone there?

Hello? Is anyone there? This is Nedrell. Oh, my God. There's a fire.

Fire! There's a fire!
