Original subtitles

I think the blue and blue is too much.

I should have worn the charcoal, right? The charcoal's more serious.

Stop worrying, Twinkle. You look gorgeous.

Although, hmm, yeah, there is something missing.

What? This.

Mrs. Lowsley.

No public displays of affection in school.

Although the bell hasn't gone yet and we are newlyweds.

Sorry.

Oh, it's Christine about to answer.

Morning, boss.

Yeah, we're all set for the big presentation.

Oh, right, do you want me to postpone the assembly?

Yeah, yeah, but Christine... Oh, she's gone.

Did she hang up on you? No, no, probably just lost signal.

She's running late with the council.

I just want to prove to her that... Twinks, you don't need to prove

You are amazing.

This new initiative is amazing. This term's going to be what?

Amazing. Yeah.

Ah, that's me.

Got to go to late duty.

See you later.

Go get him, Tiger.

Good morning, everyone.

Good morning. On behalf of Mrs Mulgrew and the rest of the teaching staff, I'm

delighted to usher in the new term.

Waterloo Road is going to blaze a trail other schools will be desperate to

follow. Do you think it's a new computer lab? Wake me up when it's all over.

Resilient!

Anyone heard of it?

Well, this little word is set to change your lives in more ways than you can

imagine. It's all dot com.

That means more homework, whatever it is. And if you're not excited yet.

You will be.

Billions Education is a new technique for emotional literacy and problem

solving. An activity approach to happier pupils. It's about empowerment.

It's about action.

Hopefully he's lost it. Miss Boston, Mr. Gormway, if you would.

You are being handed out questionnaires about your hopes, dreams and ambitions.

Please fill these in before the end of today. From these, we'll be working out

personal resilience programme for each of you based on your goals for the term.

Did you take this one again?

I urge you to listen.

You'll be glad you did. So what is Waterloo Road's resilience education?

Waste of time?

Liberal nonsense?

It's a tool.

For life, as is he.

What you've just experienced was a complete mock -up.

Oh, no, no, stay, please.

Is this how you always introduce yourself to new people?

Pupils, staff, it gives me great pleasure to introduce our new PE teacher

implemented a full resilience programme at his last school and will be doing the

same at Waterloo Road.

Give it up for Mr Reid!

trust you to take over while I'm at a council meeting and what happens?

Complete chaos.

I'm still talking, Simon.

And I expected better of you on your first day, Mr. Reid. Please, call me

Hector.

Resilience education is a new technique for emotional literacy and problem

solving, an activity approach to happier pupils.

Exactly what does that got to do with what I saw in there?

Plenty. Well, perhaps you'd like to enlighten me then, Hector.

Well, when Si and I met during the summer at Royal Camp... Resilience at

I explained to him how at my last school we did a mixture of resilience and

emergency education. Basically, much more hands -on, and I don't think you

deny that. What we saw in there got everyone's attention.

No, I can't.

And I'm sure the parents will be paying it equal amounts of attention when their

kids tell them about it. I should fire you on the spot. Oh, come on, Christine.

I'm sure Hector is more than capable of answering for himself, Simon. I can't

promise. I'm not going to push these kids out of their comfort zone every now

and again.

That's how I work.

But Cy, he tells me great things about the way that you work.

And I think together, we could be a winning combo.

Well, let's see how that goes.

Can someone explain what that is all about?

Ah.

Now, the wall... That's with me.

All right, stay in your form group, please. No stragglers.

Come on.

I can't believe Mr. Larson did that.

You haven't said anything, have you?

No, no, mate, look. What happened in London stays in London. But I'm sure

suspects.

Look, mate, you're going to have to tell her sooner or later.

You been checking for mud since you got back from London?

No.

Connie? Never.

I don't know why you're still part of it.

He totally loves you.

Right, the smoke seems to have cleared.

Literally or metaphorically? Any prisoners, correct?

Yeah, apart from our mysterious newcomer, Gabriella Walk.

Nothing mysterious about her parents, really.

I think some people feel the need to announce their importance.

Are you sure about this?

We wanted her to experience half -reality, didn't we?

Come on.

I'm clear again. I'm gonna

take the lipstick off.

There. Oh.

I never did anything.

We're very pleased to have someone of your ability to join the school,

Gabriella.

You're Duke of Edinburgh Gold Award, is it?

A great achievement.

We hope she can continue the sterling work at Waterloo Road.

Don't we, Amelia?

Oh, um, yes.

Your academic achievements are so impressive, it makes me all the more

about you being expelled from your last school.

It says here there were behavioural issues.

Obviously, we take no pride in Gabriella's expulsion.

Our daughter is a little prone to flights of fancy.

What she means is that Gabriella is easily distracted, and these private

are very intolerant of the flighters' flaw.

Lots of bright young people act up because they get bored, but here we

ourselves in getting the kids involved in... Right, well, we must be on our

Right.

Bye, Gabriela.

Sonia, if you have a moment in your no -doubt hectic schedule, could you

me on the fax machine?

Oh, I was just showing you thought.

I'll do it, Sonia.

This way, please.

It'll be quicker if I do it. Just show me

I'm sure I'm capable of...

What are you hiding, George?

It's personal.

Then you shouldn't be using the school fax machine.

Who uses fax machines these days, anyway?

My solicitor.

That Gabriella is a breath of fresh air.

She reminds me a lot of myself, actually.

Simon, that assembly, what was that about?

A bit of theatrics to grab the pupils' imagination, Nicky.

Got everyone buzzing. The resilience initiative is going to be great.

Yeah? Well, I'm going to take a bit more persuading than that.

Oh, Nicky, I was just like you when Simon told me of the plan. I thought, uh

-oh, this is a bit bonkers. I mean, a rubber baseball bat.

It took me ages to get that online. And he doesn't even like ketchup.

Don't do it.

However, the statistics from Hector's last school are really impressive.

Yep, they are.

So is Hector, don't you think?

No. I think he's a prat.

Can we have a go at this, then? I like your enthusiasm.

What's your name?

Darren. Well, Darren, this wall will be your first step towards greatness.

What are we meant to do with it? Conquer it.

What else?

Read rules number one.

Challenge yourself daily.

So, who thinks they can scale this wall?

What, we climb over it? Is that it?

Mm -hmm.

So, what was Darren missing?

A brain.

The means to make it happen.

You see, only an Olympic standard high jumper could come close to clearing a

wall like this on his own.

Glad you had a crack though, mate.

Reads rules number two.

Fear is the pathway to failure.

So, what does Darren need? What does he need in order to succeed?

Uh, health.

And more wisdom.

Correct!

reads rules number three.

Teamwork makes the dream work.

Now, you lot, you go over here and join Darren, and the rest of you will take

your orders from this young lady.

There's far too much to say for herself to stay hidden at the back.

Now, you've got five minutes to come up with a strategy.

Then you'll go on my whistle.

Fastest team wins.

Can we do it anywhere we want?

Yeah. Time starts now.

Fit, ain't he?

Well, I'd hope so, being a PE teacher.

No.

I mean, he is fit.

Can't say I'm not fit.

And not only was this a period of huge social and political upheaval in France,

but it had a radical effect on the rest of Europe, too.

It's not like I'll later on or anything.

Stop enjoying it too much, will you? In France alone,

a monarchy collapsed, a society was transformed... I wonder why she went for

Connor out of everyone. ..and the poor took control.

from the privileged elite... No, no, you've got nothing to worry about. ..as

with all your great historical events, what actually happened is far, far

more exciting than any work of fiction that you're likely to find today.

Now, perhaps our newest class member can enlighten us further.

Gabriella, do you care to share your thoughts on the French Revolution?

There's no need to be shy.

Did you cover this at your last course?

Actually, we spent quite some time on the conditions of France, that's the

storming of the Bastille.

Duck up or what?

Rhiannon, that's enough. Please carry on, Gabriella.

We studied the rise of Napoleon, the war in Europe and the Battle of Waterloo.

Very good.

Now, as Gabriella has just... Which was won by the Duke of Wellington, Arthur

Wellesley, who then went on to become Prime Minister. That's not an area we're

going to be covering.

Why not?

Surely the Peninsular War is as important a topic.

Battle of Talavera alone is a historic event of such magnitude.

I think you'll find I'm the teacher, dear.

Well, dear, I suggest you teach me something I don't already know, then.

Go to the cooler, please.

I don't know where that is.

I can show me.

Everybody read chapter six of your books quietly, please. And you, madam, come

with me.

Now you guys are going to hear me talk a lot about grit.

Shut back here! It's the most important quality you can possess an individual

and you're going to need to cultivate it.

Why did you take off like that?

She was really angry. I was scared of what she might do. Oh, nonsense.

I was walking her to the cooler. I don't know what made her run, but her driving

skills leave a lot to be desired. This is no joke. Someone could have been

killed. Yes, quite.

Yeah, but thanks to Hector's quick response, no one was hurt.

Resilience in action, right there. That doesn't make it all right. Just saying.

What exactly were you hoping to achieve, Gabriella?

Well, she certainly had a lot more to say for herself in my class. If you're

trying to get yourself kicked out of school again, you're going the right way

about it.

We'll see what your parents think.

No, please don't tell them.

Oh, come on, there's no need for that.

Maybe you could give us a few minutes.

You know what he was like?

My father.

You can't tell him.

You put lives in danger, including your own.

How can I not tell him? Because he'd kill me.

Look, I don't know why I took the van.

I panicked.

I didn't know where Miss McFall was taking me and... some of the teachers at

last school were... were cruel.

What are you trying to say?

I want to stay.

I do.

Everyone here is so nice.

I was showing off in history before.

It won't happen again.

You saved my life.

I did what anyone would do.

That's not true.

Listen, what you did out there was really reckless, and you are far too

and young to put yourself in danger like that.

Do you really care?

Of course I do.

Just promise me you won't do anything like it again.

Anything for you, Mr Reid.

If you are having problems, though, you can always talk them through.

With you?

Sure.

Hmm.

Seems very troubled.

I know.

One minute she's running away, the next she's desperate to stay.

I'm not sure what's changed.

You know, I really should ring her parents, but there was something about

this morning. They were so... so distant.

But thanks to what you did, it could have been a lot worse.

Not for them.

Almost. Almost.

Makes up for your antics in assembly.

I have a class meeting.

When a substance dissolves in liquid, it forms a solution.

Now, the substance we're using here is sugar crystals, and the liquid is water.

Hey, did you hear about her running off last lesson?

Look at that corner.

How'd you get it?

Don't worry, I've got it back.

You're one of those you need talking to, don't you?

I don't know. I hope you're focused on the experiment, girls.

Sorry, Miss Spar.

It's Mrs Loseley now.

So, the aim of what we're doing is to see how by changing the temperature of

water, how it changes the speed at which the sugar dissolves. You could probably

have that a little bit higher, Rhiannon.

Connor's been acting weird and kissing random girls.

He doesn't want to know what's been going on.

I don't know his password.

Oh, he doesn't need to. I've unlocked it.

Oh, but he showed me up.

Who? Is it Corrie?

I don't know.

Call the number.

No. No more talking, girls.

Sorry, Miss Spock.

Mrs. Lowsley.

Excuse me?

Is there something that interests you more than my class? I'd love to know

it is.

Things more interesting than this class?

How long have you got?

Put the phone away, please, or I'll be forced to come.

hand it over.

Hi, I thought Miss Sparks was going to cry.

No, it's Mrs. Loseley now.

Oh, I love your ring.

Oh.

Thank you.

It's amazing what you can get in pound shops these days.

Come on now, please.

Ah,

please join us.

With all the pubs earlier, I don't think we've been properly introduced to

Audrey McFall history.

Lovely to meet you. Tea?

Mmm, please.

Yes, it was difficult to welcome you properly in assembly.

What was all the smoke and abject panic?

Sorry about that, but me and Si couldn't help but mix up a little bit. Can we

expect a terror alert every morning?

Perhaps a firebomb tomorrow? Or an acid attack?

All I'm asking is that you give this approach a fair chance, yeah?

It's time to think outside the box, George.

Stand under a thought chair and let yourself get wet.

Do you know Hector well?

Who?

Mr Reid.

What's he like?

Can you get on with your work, please?

Does he live around here?

Is he single?

I won't tell you again.

After everything we've been through, you weren't ready.

I don't know.

I mean, you said yourself he's been acting weird.

How often does he spend his break in here?

Hi.

Hi.

What are you doing?

Nothing, just homework, but I'm done now.

And I said to Kev that I'd play footy with him, so I'd better go.

He hates football.

What are you doing here?

Look who it is. Hi, Sid.

Oh, of course, yeah.

You were at the wedding.

Remember me?

Sorry, there were so many new faces that day.

Is everything all right?

Everything's fine.

I was in the area to see a supplier, and I thought you could help me pick out a

present for Dad's birthday this afternoon.

You know, I'm rubbish at that kind of thing. Well, I'm a bit busy.

Why so long?

Oh, come on, you could expect half an hour.

Oh, OK.

Great. I'll see you outside the shopping centre, say, 12 .30? The bell goes at

12 .35, so it's more likely to be quarter to. Fine.

Bye.

Bye.

I ask her to pop in more often.

Is she single?

Er, I don't think you're her type.

Probably.

Disruptive or not, Gabriella's got a keen mind. These answers, very

Shame her previous school didn't teach her better manners.

Oh, come on.

She might have a smart mouth, but let's not judge her on day one, eh?

Oh, hello.

A smile like that can only mean one thing.

Someone new on the scene.

Maybe.

You know what's been going on?

Look, I was... I was going to tell you.

Did you meet her in London?

Yeah.

That's where her restaurant is.

Cookie Crumbles.

Like I told you.

The place in Hoxton?

Yeah. You said it was run by some trendy chef.

Cookie Davis.

All the critics are raving about her. I sent over some recipes and she wanted to

interview me for a job. Kitchen hand.

Wait, you...

Why didn't you tell me? Because if I get the job, I'm going to have to move to

London.

For how long?

Sounds like it's all decided then.

Try and snog my mixed boy friends again and I will rip your eyeballs out.

Understood? As if.

Although at least he's more appealing than his chavvy friend.

Why did you just call him?

You heard me.

Oh, is he your boyfriend?

You want to watch your mouth?

Incapable of fighting your own battles?

If I wanted to fight, you'd be picking your teeth up off the floor now.

Should I even wait here?

Did you have to?

Why are you all so keen to follow that bimbo around?

That bimbo's my mate and we look out for each other.

What is it with you?

You don't like the teachers and you don't like us?

You want to spend your whole time here alone? Well, that's your lookout.

But there's not enough money in the world to buy friends at Waterloo Road.

Good morning, Year 6.

Today we are starting Robinson Crusoe, one man's fight for survival against the

odds.

Shipwrecked and alone for years, Crusoe has only his own physical and mental

resources to draw from.

Right, I want you to spend a couple of minutes coming up with the one thing you

would take if you were shipwrecked.

You can work in pairs, so discuss with your neighbour.

He's not cheating on you.

That's good, isn't it?

So she thought that you were seeing somebody else, and now she knows that

not, but she's still moody.

How does that work?

Well, London's not exactly down the road, is it?

And if I get it, I'll be gone for a week at a time.

Right, then.

Dynasty, you first.

Um, lip balm.

What? I'd die without it and all that sunshine.

Yeah, not very practical, though, is it?

Gabriella, what would you take?

A Swiss army knife.

Good. Several ways you could use that. Very resilient.

Is this class just an excuse for you to go on about that resilient education

rubbish again?

I think it sounds great, sir. Can't you tell us more about it?

I noticed that you've already filled out your questionnaire, and very

interesting it is too. If you don't go the extra mile, you don't get the

Our new pupil Gabriella knows that.

She has the Duke of Edinburgh Gold Award to show for all her hard work.

Would you like to tell us about it?

Achieving the award was a very proud moment, but it was working towards it

was the most enjoyable part.

I never let myself believe I can't have anything I set my sights on. You can all

be winners like Gabriella.

With the right attitude.

Thank you, Mr Loseley.

Connor, read the first statement from the back of the questionnaire.

Do one thing every day that scares you.

Tevin, the next one, please.

Clear from your life anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful.

Timothy.

Get a touch with your wife, sir.

So we should use these new philosophies in school, sir?

Yes, as much as you possibly can.

This was amazing, Mr. Loseley. You're so perfect, Mr. Loseley.

What are you going to do next? Look at his shoes.

You are such a sucker.

I wasn't sucking up. Actually, I think you'll find I was doing everyone a

And how will you work that one out?

Well, Mr. Loseley wants us to incorporate his little resilient

school life, remember?

So? So he's given us permission to do pretty much whatever we want.

All these are open to quite loose interpretation, I'd say.

The infamous Miss Walker.

Your reputation precedes you.

Come to the class, if you don't mind.

I have a feeling I might need to keep an eye.

Oh, it won't be any trouble.

Promise.

What did she

say? Yes, well, let's keep the conversation in

English for the time being, shall we?

I'd like you all to write an essay this morning in French entitled, What I Did

In My Holidays.

Yes, I know, an idea that was old as the hills, yet surprisingly effective in

allowing me to assess your current ability.

Or lack of it.

What on earth do you think you're doing?

Mr. Loseley told us to get rid of anything that wasn't youthful, beautiful

joyful. So I am.

What else did Mr.

Loseley tell you to do?

So we just put a few drops of the solution into the test tube.

Hey,

guys!

What's a simile, miss?

Where do I put a semicolon in a sentence?

And what's the difference between a verb and an adverb?

A semicolon.

A semicolon.

What on earth is going on?

Right. What's with all the questions?

We're getting in touch. We are well safe.

Mr. Lawson said, shout if you want to be heard.

Wait. Not what?

And here we are again.

I think I preferred it when you were plotting against me. You were a lot less

trouble, Simon.

Mum, have you got a minute?

No, Connor, not right now.

OK, can wait.

Look, it's not like I planned it, is it?

Several classes disrupted, all because these pupils were reciting your

platitudes as if it were law.

Look, it's just a blip, all right? I'll find out who's behind the trouble and

I'll deal with them.

There's always a ringleader.

We weren't the only ones playing up. All right, so you admit you were playing

up? Right, everyone else was in on it.

You tell me whose idea it was and you're out of here.

You can sit with us if you want. No, thanks. I'm not staying.

Are you going to be a darling and show me where the gym is?

What are you up to?

Show me and you'll find out.

I just need to convince her that nothing's going to change.

Yep. And how are you going to do that?

I don't know. Pick her a nice meal, put on Breaking Dawn Part 2.

What? Home -cooked dinner and a DVD.

Come on, you've got to rev it up a bit.

Not nice.

Fish paste.

So?

So?

So, it's not like you to hide away at lunchtime, especially when Simon has

you so much material to tease him about.

Why do you need to patch your solicitor?

To finalise my divorce.

Oh. Look up your daughters.

George Windsor's back on the market.

Well, Cheryl, this is a good thing. I mean, Princess left months ago. You can

move on with your life.

Well, thank you, Oprah Winfrey, but not very good on my own, Christine, as the

face -to -face sandwich illustrates.

Better with a companion, soulmate, you know.

Just to make your pack lunch?

No, not.

Just that.

Company, you know.

Dining out, dining in.

Nocturnal activities.

Thank you, George. I've just eaten.

What do you have?

Not fish paste.

Sound like my kind of woman.

Come on.

Time for your facts lesson.

Watch it.

I don't know how you can eat so much junk food without ballooning. You don't

even go to the gym.

We can't all be action women like you.

Anyway, I've found other ways to burn off the calories.

shouldn't leave them on.

That is a bit of fun lighting up. I am light. I am so light. I am practically

weightless.

So, uh, why did you really want to see me?

Not another loan for your jewellery business.

I know you usually go to dad for that sort of thing.

What, the same dad that gave you the deposit for your house not long ago on

of the money he saved for your wedding? Oh, you can't begrudge me that.

And then you were loath to remember.

Don't forget, though, you saved that money for both of us.

It's not like you're going to need it.

Gay marriage is legal now, or did you miss that?

But you're not really gay.

Just confused.

If you like, Sif, come on, drop me back at school.

We're in the changing room.

Don't know.

Well, wait up!

Perhaps if you met the right chap, you could drop all this silly stuff about

liking girls. I mean, we're not kids anymore.

It's hardly like you need the extra attention.

Right.

Firstly, I wasn't the one who was always desperate for attention. That was you.

And secondly, I've been out ten years. When are you going to accept it?

Maybe when you have a serious, lasting relationship.

FYI, I'm in a relationship.

In fact, I'm in love, okay?

Since when?

Just after your wedding.

Also, who is she, this amazing woman that's finally stolen your heart? Sorry,

Nicky, we're kind of having a family thing.

I'm in love with you.

Thanks.

What was that?

I'm hoping for something more than the lines of I love you too.

What are

you

going to do?

Stay here and keep watch.

Gabriella, what can I do for you?

You look really hot. I thought you could use this.

I could, yes. Thank you.

Sorry.

Gabriella, what are you doing lodging there?

Cover yourself up. Why, don't you like what you've seen?

I gave you the benefit of the doubt after your stunt this morning because

seemed genuinely sorry.

But you repay me with this.

Why?

And once again, Mr Reid is involved.

Is there something going on here you're not telling me?

Gabriella, I want to help you, I really do.

But you're not making it easy.

You wouldn't understand.

You people never do.

Try me.

If you're going to punish me, then punish me.

Fine.

Have it your way.

It really wasn't how it looked.

She's not even my type.

Go to the cooler, Gabriella. Teacher will come and get you when we're done.

Yep. I'll take her, in case she tries to do another runner.

OK.

If Mr Reid has behaved inappropriately in any way, you need to tell Mrs

or me.

He won't get in trouble.

But he would, wouldn't he?

So, you were in the wrong place at the wrong time again.

Is that it?

If you like.

You don't seem to be taking this very seriously, Hector.

Because it's ludicrous.

I didn't touch her.

I heard what you said to her this morning about being there if she needed

help.

What sort of extra help were you offering?

I was totally innocent.

Right. I think what we're dealing with is an old -fashioned schoolgirl crush.

Why do you think that?

Well, this morning in the cooler, she was asking a lot of questions about him.

And just now, there was something in her manner.

She's quite calm and in control.

I was thinking the same.

Well, why didn't you say that before?

I didn't want to flatter myself.

You don't strike me as the modest type.

Maybe I have hidden depths.

So, how long has Nicky been seeing your sister?

Um, Victoria and I aren't really that close.

Thanks for sticking up for me.

Call it. It's no big deal.

Hey, it's Hector, by the way.

What? No more Mr. Reid.

Fine.

About what happened outside, I'm really sorry.

It's between you and her. Nothing to do with me. No, but even so, you shouldn't

have found out like that.

Well, I'm used to it with Vic.

Always a drama around every corner.

You'll find that out for yourself.

Well, if it lasts.

Look, I know I've been defending her, but that was before I found out she was

sabotaging my resilience programme.

Can't help thinking you've only got yourself to blame there.

Gabrielle's father said her last goal blew her discipline issues out of

proportion.

I'm going to do a bit more digging.

I like your necklace.

Present from Daddy.

It's from New York.

He was there on business.

Quite, you do.

I will try.

Who cares?

Okay, you lot, you can go to your classes.

Not you, Miss Walk.

You keep an eye on her a bit longer.

Thank you.

Gabriella had behavioural issues at her last school.

Skipping classes, discipline problems, the lot.

The head there said she only attended for five months, so I tried her previous

school to that, and... Let me guess, same thing.

Yeah, but it gets worse.

She was expelled for stalking a teacher.

Sonia, get the walks back in here, please.

All right, settle down.

Have you got something to say?

No, me.

Then would you please focus?

Sorry, we didn't mean nothing.

Let's be friends.

If you've got something to say, I'd rather you just came out and said it.

like you did earlier on?

Does it bother any of you?

Who I spend my personal life with, male or female?

Does it make me any more or less of a decent teacher?

No. No?

No. No.

Then you're just making conversation.

And it's nice, but you've got a lesson to be getting on with.

All right.

The use of metaphors in everyday language.

That woman was a bit out of your league, though, wasn't she, mate?

I won't tell you again, Shaznu.

Did you get it all done?

Look, I'm not sure I did.

Look, you need to man up and do something.

Press it.

To the midden. Where did you get that?

I nabbed it from Dynasty's locker.

What can I say?

I'm an adventurous girl.

Grab my bag.

You good? Yeah, go.

I've been looking at that new girl's family online.

They've got a fashion business worth millions.

So?

I've never had a well -rich friend before.

No friends, no hobby.

Hobby works two ways, you know. What's wrong?

I shouldn't have overreacted.

He's going to leave me, I know it.

If it doesn't feel right, you don't have to go through with it, you know?

And then what?

Lose Imogen?

No, no, I don't mean this tonight.

Well, what?

You know, you could knock the whole idea on its head.

Forget the interview.

You're the one that was banging on about how much of a great opportunity it is.

Yeah, and I meant it.

What I'm trying to say, Connor, is that if you didn't want to go through with

it, you know, and you wanted to stay here, it wouldn't be the end of the

I wouldn't think any less of you, and it's not like your life would be over.

still have Imogen and your mum and your mates.

Yeah, sure.

And if I got the job and moved to London, it's not like I'm going to

about everyone here, is it? Yeah, of course. And mate, good mates are

too.

Yeah, all right. I get it. Good.

Imogen's not going to know it's here. And I can't believe you have this.

Know it, do you?

Not even one full day in this again.

I have a conference call at five.

Did it slip your mind to mention the main reason Gabriella was expelled from

previous school?

We didn't think it was important.

And anyway, you never asked.

Oh, so you lied by omission?

We were hoping that this place would be a new start.

I can see that was a mistake.

Clearly the male teachers here are as happy to lead her on as the ones at her

previous schools.

You're not suggesting this is her fault?

Even putting her behaviour with Mr Reid aside, she has set up all manner of

trouble today. Which I'd hoped a school like this one would be more than able to

handle. We are not a juvenile reform centre, Mr Wark.

I'm sorry, but Waterloo Road simply isn't equipped to deal with Gabriella.

Please, don't give up on her.

Surely she deserves another chance.

I mean, a bit of disruption, a little flirting, it's hardly the end of the

world, is it?

No, no, there's more than that.

During one of our lessons this morning, she tried to steal a truck and leave

school premises.

Look at Mr Reed's doctor. There could have been a nasty accident.

Will you never learn?

Mr Ward.

Wait outside, please.

Sonia will look after you.

I should call the police. Oh, don't be so ridiculous.

When an assault picks place on school premises... Let's just take her home.

There are other schools. It's just going to happen again and again. Can you not

see that, you stupid woman?

It's not usually like this. It was a shock hearing what Gabriella did. Shut

Amelia. She has a right to know.

I want to show you something.

Is that Gabriella?

No, it's her sister, Florence.

She was only seven when it happened.

The traffic accident.

She was killed instantly.

I'm so sorry.

I really don't think you should listen in.

They were waiting for Vincent to collect them from school.

He was running a little late. A few minutes.

Instead of waiting, Gabrielle insisted on getting the bus.

But they got off.

Lawrence was hit by a car.

Gabrielle has never forgiven herself.

Yes, I have!

I forgave myself years ago.

Oh, I'm so sorry. She just... The only person who hasn't forgiven me is you,

Daddy.

Go out, please, Gabriella. Why?

So they can tell more lies about me.

They have never stopped blaming me.

It's not like they're even hostile.

Just indifferent.

Like I don't exist.

The accident.

It wasn't even my fault.

If he hadn't been working on his day off, he blames me because it's

easier than blaming himself.

What?

Jammy Ginger?

Give me one good reason why I shouldn't call the police and social services.

Please, Mrs Mulgrew.

We try to be patient with Gabriella, but, well, she's difficult.

I'm sorry.

I have never struck Gabriella before.

Just, I can't stand it.

And she pushes me and she pushes me.

Vincent, please, not here.

Have you ever considered family counselling?

I'm not having some.

Do good at poking their nose in.

Counselling's not for us.

Counselling isn't just for disadvantaged families, Mrs Wark.

The functional families come in all shapes and sizes.

Now, you need to sort out these problems, and Waterloo Road is a good

Wark, but we can't fix this alone.

Gabrielle is going to need a lot of help, and we need to work together,

and family.

Will you work with us?

I'll apologise to Gabriella.

I'll make it up to her.

Oh, thank you, son.

Oh, hell of a first day, eh?

It is.

Staying at Waterloo Road or not is your choice.

I would like you to give us a chance.

Show you what we can do.

We're not as posh as your other schools.

And there are a lot of people here with big issues to deal with.

But we just try and rub along.

Make friends.

Help each other out.

Waterloo Road isn't perfect, but most of the time it works.

So, Gabriella.

Are you in?

Here.

What's this for?

It's a thank you for being my only friend today.

I'm sorry about snogging your boyfriend.

And for being a bitch.

Told us you were all right.

Till later.

Don't know about you guys, but I could do with a drink.

Oh, I mean, anchors in town.

Would that be a soft drink?

Don't worry, we're leaving this bad boy at the pub.

I'll give you a backy and exchange your directions.

I've got my own transport, thanks.

I haven't.

Um, shall we?

My pleasure.

Good.

What?

Thank you for giving her another chance.

We don't pass on difficult situations at this school.

And now I know where the problems stem from, we can make a start at addressing

them.

The past few years have been very hard.

For all of us.

See you tomorrow, Gabriella.

Come on.

What do you get?

I'd rather walk.

Please, Gabriella, not now.

I need to be alone for a while.

Fine.

Look.

Make sure you get a cab home safely.

I'm hardly going to take the bus, am I?

What are you going to do?

Can't bear the bad news yet.

Can I come round to your place?

Uh, no. Um, you have to go to cons.

Why, what's he said to you?

Nothing. I can't believe he spoke to you first.

I'm his wife. I shouldn't be hearing stuff from someone else.

Now look what you've done.

I... Steve's wife.

No, you can't go round.

Now that was a long first day back.

Tell me about it.

You sure you're doing the right thing, giving Gabriella another chance?

Are you questioning my authority, Mr. Lordley?

Wouldn't dream of it, Mrs. Mulgrew.

Kid, that mixed up, though, is going to be hard work.

Which makes her the perfect candidate for some resilience education.

Surely an expert like you has a few ideas on how to transform her.

But in the meantime, we'll try some good old -fashioned patience and

understanding.

Come to the pub.

Me and Hector can fill you in on our plans for the term.

I can't tonight. There's something important I have to do.

Another time, though?

You dare the office, dear?

Ah, let me see.

Smoke bombs and assembly.

Teenage girls flashing teachers.

Backing my parents.

Well, that's pretty average, really. You love it.

Just don't tell anyone.

Didn't fancy the pub was Mr. Lousy, then.

I'm free.

If you fancy doing something else.

Thanks, but I'm going home.

I've been so wrapped up with this place, I've hardly seen Connor.

I had a big year for him, and dealing with the warts today was a bit of a wake

-up call.

Connor has to know I'm there if he needs me.

Christine, please stop. I'm welling up.

Oh, shut up, George.

See you tomorrow.

OK.

Connor? I'm here.

What's all this?

Afternoon tea.

The twist.

Oh, no.

Oh, mate, you should have consulted on the apron.

I never meant to embarrass you.

I hope it's not that big a deal.

You should pick your timing better.

Nobody's talking about the wedding anymore.

Thank you very much.

I

don't

blame you for kicking off.

What I did was pretty out there.

Maybe, but... I think we can kick up the bike so I don't need it.

And there's something I forgot to say earlier.

I love you too.

No, that's something I wasn't expecting.

What, you didn't know?

You must be the only person in school today who didn't hear about their

antics. This isn't the main show, this is like the encore, isn't it?

Mmm. They're so dirty.

So is the chef.

I don't know, without the apron, I'm not really feeling it. Right, OK, OK, look,

it could have been worse. At one point, I was thinking of wearing just the hat.

Look, you and me, mate, we need to have a serious chat. Would you have got me

into this? Remember?

Yeah.

Kevin! I can't believe you did all this for me.

I thought... It doesn't matter.

If I get the job, nothing's going to change between me and you.

I wish I could be sure of that.

We're married.

I don't know about you, but when I took my vows, I took them seriously.

Me too.

But it's not going to stop me missing you like Matt, though, is it?

I wasn't expecting you back so early.

Clearly.

Have I gatecrashed a party?

Conor was just trying out a few new dishes.

He's had some interest. From people at school.

Is that what you wanted to talk to me about earlier?

Yeah.

Sorry I was so abrupt with you.

That doesn't matter. No, it does.

Next time you come to see me, I'll make time for you. I want to be a proper mum

that you can be proud of at home and at work.

Like that?

Try some of the cranberry lake on her, mate.

Lovely.

That's a good idea.

You thought that you were going to use a bit of fruitful interaction technique

on a certain Miss Boston.

Game of interest lie elsewhere.

Oh, Nicky, I've been around. I've seen the way she looks at me.

Halfway there already.

Thank you.

Don't lose it.

I won't. I'll download a copy when I get a minute.

I'm going through a bit of a bad patch in the moment.

My Tennessee, she's really stubborn.

Have you ever worked in a kitchen?

Mum? Tennessee?

You want off the bed if they wait, honey, yeah?

I may as well give you this, too.

What now?

Have you heard of the chef, Cookie Dave?

I've been offered a job in her kitchen.

She's got a restaurant in Glasgow?

No, London.

Do you ever wish we'd just press pause?

Things would just stay as they are.

Jack Whitehall is live at the Apollo, and on Saturday, don't miss Casualty.

I've got a new doctor starting.

He's already here, and he's a bit odd.

Dr Hardy?

Ethan, Dr Hannah.

Zoe's fine. I was expecting you at nine.

Yeah, about that, I did try.

I was held up by a patient.

Casualty, Saturday at 9 .20.
