KAT AND THE BAND

What time are they on ?

Nine.

Like seriously, so you have
the money to get in ?

No.

- What's your number ?
- Sorry ?

- What's your number ?
- Oh, it's...

He's really good.

I've listened to them on YouTube,
they're going to be great.

- Ready ?
- As always.

Kat Malone, Jane Barrowman,
Power Cords Music Management.

We're on the list.

Not on the list.

You're incompetent.

You call yourself a PA

and you can't even remember to phone
and get my name on the list ?

What ?

You heard me, you skinny legged,
goggled eyed, burger brain reject.

- You're fired.
- Harsh.

Don't even bother coming
into work tomorrow.

- What's your boss's name ?
- Kat Malone.

Ah, Miss Malone ?

Found your name,
Kat Malone plus one.

My mistake.

- You need to find a new job.
- I know.

I get it, my eyes are big,
but Google eyed, is that a thing ?

Do your eyes really grow bigger
if you Google too much ?

Goggle, goggle eyed.

Oh, yeah. Sick dig.

If I ever dance like that,
just put me down.

Promise ?

What shall we get to drink,
vodka cranberry or...

- I know, let's get turbo bombs.
- Oh Jane !

Marcus !
We love you Marcus !

They're on.

The Risk Factor ? You like ?

Ah, yeah, yeah, what's not to like ?

That is if you like
a band that tick every box

in the desperate need to appeal
to all demographics.

- So not so much ?
- No.

Go on.

Hi, one turbo bomb
and one vodka lemonade.

That's thirteen pounds fifty.

Yeah, I'm a guest of Dollar Days,

so if you could just put it
on their tab and make it a double ?

Alright.

I was invited over
by the band's management,

which, between you and me,
are incompetent.

I mean why play this gig
if you're not headlining ?

Zero point. I have no idea
what their manager was thinking.

Let me help you.

Thank you.

I'm Kat Malone, music scout.
Why did... I mean I loved your set,

why don't you and I grab
a seat and talk management ?

- We've got a manager.
- Who, who is your manager ?

Me.

Right, I am, I'm so sorry about
the drinks, my bad, I'll pay you back.

- What's your number ?
- No need.

There is, I loved your songs
and I, I really think...

No, no, no, just don't go stealing
drinks off musicians, alright ?

There's enough people in this business
trying to rip you off. Tough.

That's because you're playing
the wrong places.

Your bass is too dominant,
your social media is social suicide

and your set list confused.

- Anything else ?
- Yes !

You have a sound that's so raw,
it's so heartfelt and...

- You ready to go, mate ?
- Yeah.

- Who's she ?
- No one, let's go.

But wait, but no, I have more ideas.

Um, wait, no, I, I really
think we should chat.

Alex ? Alex !

Don't you just want to squeeze
them like a, like a cuddly koala ?

So much.

Until I break his vocal chords

so I never have to hear
his whining songs again.

Peace.

Out of the way.

Alex ! Hey, Alex !
I just want to...

Oh shit.

Hey.

Typical, we're left with
the ab zombie.

Musically dead,
but those are some abs.

You are such a little horn-chick.

Yeah. And ?

You'd think he'd have a party
to go to or something.

Yeah.

Yeah, you would.

Shall we get the night bus ?

No ! Don't say anything !
Kat !

Hi.

My friend over there, she thinks
you're fit, but she's super shy.

Yeah, she's super cute.

So basically,
she just needs a few drinks

and then she relaxes
and will talk and stuff, to you.

Okay.

So... is there an after party we should
know about or something ?

You know, let me take
your number and I'll text you.

What did you say ?

Nothing.

He just randomly gave me the address
to a very cool after party.

- No.
- And we're going.

No ! Seriously Kat ?
Tomorrow is...

Another boring day,
like every other boring day.

Tonight, it begins, the future,
Dollar Days, they need our help.

It's what we've always talked
about doing since forever.

I'm sorry, I can't.

He likes you.

He'll be at the party.

He's fit, you said he was.

I suppose, for a short while.

Just pretend you belong.

- Use your gifts.
- What ?

Thank you.

Excuse me.

Mm, yeah, yeah, I know,
I know, right ? Yeah, totally.

I love Matthew McConaughey too.

Hey, ah, I'm happy, you're happy,
that's what I'm good at.

Speak later.

- Hi.
- You get around.

- I...
- Right, yeah, the free drinks, yeah.

- Yeah, very funny, you're funny.
- Cool.

Shame you don't show that side
of your personality on stage.

What ?

Oh I'm, I'm just saying you could
show a bit more personality,

a sense of humour when performing.

- I totally have a sense of humour.
- I know, I just told you that.

Ah, no I just told you that.

- Ah look, what is it that you want ?
- Well I don't, I don't want anything.

Well then you're clearly
not a manager, are you ?

I mean you all want something,
whether it's an extra cut,

push us in a direction
that we don't actually want to go in,

dilute the music, steal the girlfriend.

No ! I do not want to steal
your girlfriend.

That's good to know.

I'm glad you don't want to sell out,

because I'm only interested
in managing authentic artists.

Kat Malone, ha-ha.

Oi, good luck,
because she's the shit.

Kat.

You're in demand.

I know a lot of people.

He'll cool down by tomorrow.
We'll see if he makes it to rehearsal.

I'll get a drink then.

How about I come along ?

I'd love to hear more of your songs
and then we can take it from there.

Ah, just give me your number
and I'll text you.

Later.

Jane, let's go.

- Can you play me ?
- It's not up to me, babe.

I don't play the song.

The song plays me.

- Was this a dream ?
- No !

The dream is just beginning.

Pulled an all-nighter.

Got dressed in the dark, did you ?

I would, with a face like that.

She's scared of catching
herself in the mirror, aren't you Kat ?

Frog face.

A LEVEL SPANISH
MOCK EXAM, SILENCE PLEASE

The subject for today's discussion,
my favourite holiday.

My favourite holiday was in Slovenia.

In the neighbouring village
there was a music festival.

You can't solely blame
the mediocrity of contemporary music

on the distribution network.
We have brains, don't we ?

We don't have our Bowies and Jonis

because we choose to be spoon fed music
like factory fed chickens,

made me to believe we enjoy
tasteless pellets of sound.

- Yeah ?
- Hi, Kat. It's Alex.

- Alex from the band.
- Yes, yes, how are you ?

Yeah, good. Look I've been thinking
about what we talked about,

you coming down to rehearsal.

Kat Malone !

Alex, I've got a situation here,
crazy client. Can we talk later ?

Yeah, sure, alright, I'll...

- Mr. Kato.
- You know the rules.

You can pick this up
at the end of the day.

I do know the rules, sir,

and you know,
in all the years I've stared at you,

bored out of my brains
in music class,

I have never seen you
in such a remarkably well fitted

or well-coordinated outfit
as you're wearing today.

It was supposed to be a secret !

What was ?

The music concert that I'm organising.
Right now there's so much to be done.

It's for exam results day.

I thought it would be empowering
to celebrate such a momentous day

with the ancient tradition of music,

which historically has been used in
various rites of passage ceremonies.

What do you want out
of this school, Kat ?

I mean, you're obviously bright,
you're talented,

you can talk
the hind legs off a...

Monkey ?
I think it's a monkey.

Or is it a donkey ?

But when it comes to focus,
you don't have it.

- You're all over the place.
- I'm focused.

I'm focused right now
on this concert, I am, I'm...

Joy, Rose, you're performing
in my exam results concert, right ?

See ?

Not in the corridors, okay ?

Yes !

And you still get a yellow warning.

I'll be emailing your mother.

How was the first exam ? Snack
in fridge so don't go down to Gran.

Left your revision schedule on your
desk upstairs. Look at it and revise !

Gran, I'm home.

I just don't get it,
why do I need to sit exams ?

I don't even want to go to uni.

Organelles and cell theory,

it's not exactly everyday conversation
in the music industry.

- Have you got cystitis ?
- No.

Well it's nothing to be ashamed of.

I know and if I had it
then I wouldn't be, but I don't.

I had terrible cystitis in the sixties,
all those tight fitting hot pants.

I just like the taste.

Well there's no circulation down there.

It's really fruity.

I started to wear skirts
commando style, it sorted it.

I bet Bowie never had
a yellow warning ruining his life.

See this ?

This is your
yellow warning.

Gone, no longer exists.

That's how Bowie
would have dealt with it.

He chose his own reality,
his own fluid identity.

You need to do the same.

Don't let other people's sense
of reality dictate yours.

In Kat's dictionary of life, it's only
you who can write it's definition.

Gran, I swear I'm not going
to let anyone stop me.

Kat !

Get up here, now !

No, I don't think
you do understand, Kat,

because if you did, you wouldn't
behave in such a cavalier fashion.

A yellow warning ? That's only
three steps away from suspension.

- That's the dream.
- Oh, it's not funny.

Oh, it's a little bit funny.

How was your Spanish oral ?

Very good.

- You know I don't speak Spanish.
- Shit. I forgot.

Do you understand
why I work my arse off

to send you to the best
private school I can afford ?

- Because when I went to school...
- None of the teachers cared.

They didn't.
And we certainly weren't taught extras

like Spanish, or music, or drama,
because what was the point ?

We were only going to get knocked up
or work down the Pound Store.

You did get knocked up.

My point is, I knew
that I would prove them wrong

and make something
of my life.

Living the dream.

All I'm asking of you, Kat,
is to take these exams seriously.

We're going to use
your predicted grades,

so if you don't, you have no chance
of an offer from any decent university.

- But that's not really what I want...
- This is New York. Shh !

- Hello, Liz Malone speaking.
- Hello, Liz Malone speaking.

- Hello Brigitte, how are you ?
- Hello Brigitte, how are you ?

Well hasn't the fashion buyer
got back to us yet ?

How to manage a professional band

- I'm off to revise with Jane.
- Oh good, send her my love.

And call me if you're going to be late.

Do you think a regular residency
at a single venue

would achieve better momentum
than scattered gigs across town ?

I think...

The aorta carries oxygenated blood
away from the heart to the body tissues

and the pulmonary artery
carries blood to the lungs,

to pick up a fresh
supply of oxygen.

I don't know.
Do you have to decide now ?

- I'm meeting them tonight.
- Tonight ?

- How are you going to revise ?
- I'm not.

You have to.

I don't care about exams.

- For real ?
- Yeah, for real.

This is a once in a lifetime
opportunity, I can't mess it up.

This is our future.

I need to have a plan in place

so I can convince Alex that I can push
the band past that sticky first base.

I have the answer.

This is a sure thing.

It'll definitely get you past first
base, bang into all that stickiness.

Firstly, you're gross;

and secondly, my interest in Alex
is purely professional.

Good, don't ever make my mistake

of following your heart
instead of your head.

- Look where it got me.
- Here ?

With us ?

It was summer, 1978.

Eucalyptus blossoms stung
your nostrils like hungry bees.

Casablanca was a dust bowl,
you could hardly move for the heat.

But the earth moved
when I saw her, this girl,

long yellow dress,
hair shining as intensely as the sun,

lips like...

Well that was it.

She was on her way to London, I was on
my way to heartbreak hell, via Gatwick.

And what did I end up with ?

Not the girl, not the sunshine,
a kebab van.

Sugar ?

KLT Management, Kat speaking.

Hey Kat, it's Alex.

Alex, hi, sorry I didn't get back to
you earlier, hectic day in the office.

That's okay, I know you're busy.

Look, I wanted to cancel with you
coming down to rehearsals tonight.

- Really ?
- There's no point.

Why ?

Ah, our drummer's just walked out and
joined our ex-manager's new band.

- Anyway, best of luck with
everything... - No, hang on.

I might be able to help.
I know this amazing drummer.

- That's okay, we'll advertise.
- Yes, you should.

But why don't you listen to him first ?

- Alex ?
- Okay, bring him down.

- We'll be there from seven.
- Great.

- Later.
- See ya.

A drummer ?

Awesome.
An actual band.

Keep it simple like that.

Hey, that sounded great.

- Oh Brian, this is Kat.
- Malone.

She's brought the drummer.

Sid. Hi.

Nice riff, Brian.

Yeah, I think it brings
the chorus back from being too...

Early eighties synth pop ?

Yeah.

Is something funny ?

No, he's just happy to be here.

So where have you played ?

- Brixton.
- Oh, the Academy ?

The tube station.

Sorry, I have a small window here,
could we get on with the playing ?

- Sid, just come in when you can.
- Yep.

- That's nice work.
- Thanks man.

So ?
What do you reckon ?

- Do you mind if we take a minute ?
- Sure.

- He's the real thing.
- And a sweet guy.

Yeah, I think we should try him
out for a couple of weeks.

Great.

Cool, well thanks for coming.

I think now would be the perfect
time to talk management.

I have a vision for you, your band,
and I've written some stuff up.

Number one, you need
a regular residency,

this builds up a fan base who become
familiar with your songs.

Number two...

It's here, all in here.

Touring is key, I would contact
the right promoters

to get you booked
into the most credible venues,

building momentum
so that when we come back to London,

we can book a really great gig.

Cool, yeah, I mean
the Stones were all about touring.

And Janis Joplin. Have you ever
seen her performance at Woodstock ?

Oh yeah, it's so personal

it feels like you shouldn't actually
be listening to it.

Yeah, I know, right.

That's how it should be, that's
why I got into his in the first place,

people who love music,
sharing their music.

Why else do it ?

Yeah, it's like, it's like
you always remember where you were

when you first
heard a really great song.

And who you were with.

Anyway, Sid's great...

How about you give me an eight
week trial ? See what I can deliver ?

- Ah, the manager's...
- Six weeks !

Come on.
What have you got to lose ?

Yeah, yeah.

Oh no,
they won't do an early week slot,

we're looking for Thursday
onwards.

I've got another call coming in,

I will take another look at the link
and we'll speak later.

Yeah, I sent you a link last week

and I did think that they would be
really up your street.

You have to hear this,
it's their latest song.

Ooh, is that ?

Who does it belong to ?

- Marcus ?
- He's actually nice.

- He's an arrogant, tiny wet wipe.
- Give it a break.

They're really good.

- Busy ?
- Yes, so much to do.

Finally, that's what I've been trying
to tell you the last eight weeks.

Well you've hardly been around
for the last eight weeks.

I might not be here but I'm across
everything you're up to.

You don't know anything.

What I do know is Mr Cato's holding
after school revision on Thursday.

- And I've signed you up.
- Without even asking me ?

I'm not going.

You will go and I will check up on you.

I've got work to do.

Good.

Kat Malone speaking ?

Hi, this is Ted Bonwell
from the Tumbledown.

We spoke the other day ?

Miss Malone !

You're playing the Tumbledown,
7 PM, this Thursday.

Great !

Come hear your new favourite band.

Hey still up for tonight ?

It will be awesome, come.

LOST

- Where's your manager ?
- She'll be here.

We haven't been this busy in a while.
How did you meet her ?

Look at that.

Ah, it was actually more
of a collision really.

Well however it happened, I think
you made a good decision.

She's done a great job.

Sorry I'm late,

I got tied up in the office.

Any problems ?

No. I think you've got to start turning
people away.

It's great.

What's going on ?

He's ID-ing.

But you've got fake ID right ?

Duh, but it says I'm eighteen.

This is a twenty one venue.

What ?

All the same old stories.

Kids, eh ?

What do we want ? Turbo bombs.
When do we want it ? Now !

What do we want ? Turbo bombs.
When do we want it ? Now !

What do we want ? Turbo bombs.
When do we want it ? Now !

What do we want ? Turbo bombs.
When do we want it ? Now !

Okay, we're closing
the doors.

Whoa, well can we not
just discuss this ?

No, we've got a licence to protect.
I need you guys gone.

- Kat ?
- Yes ?

Ah, let's think solutions.

Kat Malone speaking ?

- Are you taking the piss ?
- Ah, no.

Good. So I spoke to Mr Cato,
how did you find revision club ?

It was
an inspiring experience.

Good. And, ah, you going to revise
with Jane now then, or ?

- Yeah, yes, yep.
- Yeah, good.

And what time do you think
you'll be back ?

Twenty two hundred hours ?

Oh no, no, that's too late, I want
you back at nine thirty latest.

That, that, that could work as well.

Alright, see you later.

Great, look forward to it.

Ah, work, so busy.

You're in luck, you've
got the night off.

No I, I don't.

Is that it ? Don't ?

Is that the sole sum of your problem
solving strategies ? Pathetic.

- I did warn you, mate.
- Come on man, it's one mistake.

I've made some, so have you.

Yeah, at hiring greedy,
cheating managers.

She's not the same !

Okay.

So what do we do now then, huh ?

Just pack up and go ?

Yeah, I suppose.

I have always wanted to play
the Tumbledown though.

Remember at school, coming in here

and you tried to convince the manager
to hear us play at morning assembly ?

Yeah.

All our favourite bands
have played here.

Oh it's, it's cheesy.

Oh come on, you owe me.

What did Brian mean,
with the cheating managers thing ?

Get out !

Next time an audience, yeah ?

START 9:30, FINISH 11:30
E.T. 11:50

DOLLAR DAYS
UPCOMING GIGS

NO DATES AVAILABLE

Hi, my name's Kat Malone, I manage...

I sent you an email yesterday,
I manage Dollar Days.

Any day of the week would be great,
they have a strong following and...

Please, Kat, could you keep it down
or just not be here.

Not be here ?

- This is my café.
- Since when ?

Well, I found it.

Faz, is this her café ?

- Just chill, it's just school.
- As opposed to ?

- My career.
- Get real.

It is real. It's more real
than your pathetic life.

Oh Marcus, oh he sent me a text,

oh I'm so excited I'm going
to pee my pants.

Oh, you should listen to yourself.

I should, it's better than listening
to your endless Marcus, oh Marcus.

- You're jealous.
- Enough !

In Casablanca Cave
there is no shouting, no conflict.

There's coffee, tea,
a selection of pastries,

conversation of the most philosophical
and congenial variety,

and music.

You have a music licence ?

Of course.

You've done an amazing job
with the decorations.

Thanks.

Faz wants you.

Later.

- Kat, this is Herbie, my cousin.
- Hi, nice to meet you.

So you're the manager
of the band ?

- Yep, that's me.
- They're great.

I have this place, food, drinks,
music, I'd love them to play.

- Number one venue in Snowshill.
- Is that on the tube ?

The Cotswolds,
very pretty.

What do you think ?

I think we're kind of busy
with London gigs at the moment.

But it does sound interesting.
How about we exchange details ?

Check this out, the Casablanca gig
just hit six thousand views.

I look pretty good.

You look fantastic.

Oh, well that's it then.

Ah, have you seen the Instagram likes ?
That's going crazy.

And the next gig, how's that going ?

Ah yeah, I'm talking
to some venues.

Good,
that's what we're all about, live gigs.

Always have been.

There is this one venue,
it's cool, but it's in the Cotswolds.

So my band's normally only play it
as part of a west country tour.

What do you think ?

Well we did talk about
touring last summer.

Sid ?

Yeah, I could do with some
spiritual re-energising.

We could play at Stonehenge.

I don't think that's a venue.

- Yeah, we could meet our virtual fans.
- Like the spirits and the ghosts.

I think it's a great idea. Reach out
to a fan base outside of London.

Yeah,
if we have one.

Agreed ?

Alright, let's do it.

Do you think Bolan ever just
wanted to not put on the war paint

and disappear under a duvet ?

If he was human.

I've read a very convincing
theory that he wasn't.

Yes.

Ooh, what's the matter Kitty Kat ?

Everything.

Exams, Jane,
she's behaving so weird lately.

I mean just because you fancy a boy

doesn't mean you have
to change your entire personality.

I mean she loves The Slits
as much as I do.

Don't worry, you girls will
be friends for life.

Boys come and go.

But always Jane will be there for you.

- How's it going with the band ?
- Okay.

- Have you slept with any of them yet ?
- No !

Oh free love is a beautiful thing.

The band want to go on tour and,
well, I don't know how I can do that.

What's stopping you ?

Going away, booking gigs, school, mum.

It's... impossible.

Isn't it your dream ?

Then you don't have a choice.

Ugh, there's nothing in here.

There's yoghurt, parma ham,
there's coriander humous.

Ugh, who likes that ?

Most people.

But I'm not most people !
I'm an individual !

Why doesn't anyone understand that ?

I have my own ideas
and thoughts and dreams

and funny enough, they don't involve
listening to talent show bands,

or sleeping with members of the band,
or eating coriander humous.

Well, that's fine. I'm not telling you
to do any of those things.

You're always telling me what to do.

I'm asking you to focus on your exams.

- So important for you.
- No, it's important for you !

I couldn't give a shit.

You want me to do well so you can
show me off, Kat Malone, best in show.

Why don't you just put me on a leash
and be done with it

and then you can swan around at work

and tell everyone
what an amazing mother you are ?

Well you're not.

If you're serious about these ideas,
then let's do something about it.

Bullet point it, figure out
how you're going to achieve it.

- You don't understand.
- Ha, I do.

Think about it. Do you want me
to look over them in the morning ?

Mum ?

Some work problems.

She had to catch an early flight
to New York, she'll be a few weeks.

She didn't want to wake you, darling.

We're going on tour.

I'm taking the band on tour, Gran.

Adios exams !

Two whole weeks away from this dump !

Far away.

It's all set. We're leaving on Sunday,
it will be amazing.

You don't mind sharing a room do you,
save a bit of money ?

Can you believe it,
we're taking the band on tour ?

I can't go.

- Why not ?
- I've made other plans.

Like what ?

See you tonight.
And make sure you bring Marcus.

I just want to spend some time
with him.

But he's everything
we've always hated.

- He's an ab zombie !
- He's successful !

Look, we had a lot of fun,
but it was always just a dream.

- We can't really do it, not for real.
- We can.

You get caught out,
it will be a disaster.

It won't. You and Marcus,
that's the disaster.

- Thanks for your support.
- You're the one not supporting me !

Not everything always is about you !
Or Dollar Days ! Or Alex !

I have a life and I'm fed up

with having to constantly pretend
to be someone I'm not.

I'm okay with being me !

Oh, table for one is it ?

The van is sixty pounds a day ?

Okay, thanks, I'll get back to you.

You're not celebrating
the end of exams ?

Everyone's celebrating,
with their family, with their friends.

Not me.

Boyfriend ?

You know I phoned twenty two places
already, twenty two,

and I still can't find
a van cheap enough

so that I can take the band on a tour
that I somehow stupidly suggested.

Why didn't you say ?

Before Casablanca Cave,
there was Fast Faz.

Borrow it !

She still goes, I use her for the Cash
& Carry every other Thursday.

Fast Faz ?

Snazzy alliteration.

Thank you.

If anyone can pull this off...

Doesn't really go with our image.

Okay.

Come on, you're driving.

Oh, I can't drive.

I mean I have too many points
on my licence to drive.

Speeding.

I'll drive.

So, apart from Herbie's,
where else have you got lined up ?

I rang up a few options.

You know where I'd love to play ?

The George & Dragon.

Many broke out from there,
full of record label bands.

Yeah, that's a great idea.

- You spoken to them ?
- Yeah, of course, I'm working on it.

Nah, I think someone's
fudging the truth.

Fast Faz ?

Yeah, put your foot on it.

Mate, this is it.

Fantastic, I was worried you weren't
going to make it on time.

You weren't the only one.

Hi Herbie, remember me,
I'm Kat Malone ?

I'll be dealing
with all matters professional.

Great directions.
Where are we playing ?

Ah, no, I don't work
with that promoter,

but if you check them out
on YouTube then you'll see.

Okay, I understand.

- Do you never stop ?
- Ah, no.

- What ?
- You going to introduce us ?

- Me ?
- Yeah.

Come on, we're on.

Hi everyone, it's great
to be here tonight in...

Snowshill.

Snowshill.

Please can you give a warm
welcome to Dollar Days !

This is going to be great.

It's beautiful Herbie,
it's going to be brilliant.

Thanks.

Go Dollar Days !

Hello ?

Yes, speaking.

You're in luck, they have an opening
that night. Shall we talk terms ?

I've booked your next gig.

Where are we playing ?

- Brian, woman present.
- Where ?

Oh, me.

Ah, Bloxham, we're playing
in Bloxham, Oxford.

- At the George & Dragon ?
- The Humming Hedgehog.

Can we get hotel rooms
in the next place, please ?

Ah, I'll see what I can do.

So what's it like,
this Humming Hedgehog ?

Oh, full of industry types,
it's a seriously cool crowd.

- Barry Manilow.
- Neil Diamond.

- Elton John.
- Kat ?

- Simply Red.
- They want us to sing cover songs.

- It's a request covers night.

- Yes.

Come on, covers can be cool.
White Stripes done Dylan.

- Barry Manilow !

Dire Straits.

Look this sort of thing,
it happens on tour.

Yeah, it does to us.

Okay, I admit,
it was a badly drawn up...

- Yeah, Badly Drawn Boy.

Badly Drawn Boy ?

- A to B ?
- If you take that first bit.

Ah, yes, I need four rooms
for tonight please.

Five hundred and forty pounds ?

I'll get back to you.

Miss K Malone
Current Account 96.52 Pounds

Get off the stage.

Get off !

- Don't come back !
- Sorry.

I promised you food, didn't I ?

I am just going to get some coins.

- Hi ?
- Hello ?

- Can I speak to Kat Malone ?
- You could.

- Sorry ?
- Well normally, but she's not here.

- And where is here ?
- Good question. I think we're at...

Hello ?

He was a bit drunk.

Yeah. I knew it, you're out
drinking, aren't you ?

- Yes, yes, I'm sorry mum.
- Right.

I want you straight home,
check in on Gran

and then up to bed and
we'll talk about this when I return.

She's not delivered.
We should fire her.

But maybe she's got something
amazing up her sleeve.

It's possible.

Why don't we just ask her ?
See if she's got anything else booked.

So you're listening to him now ?
He's been here, what, five minutes ?

We were doing fine as we were.

Okay. How about we just give her
another week ?

Can't you just do something productive
with your holidays ?

There's a short course
running at the tech.

No.

No listen, listen,
it's for young entrepreneurs,

I thought after our chat,
it might be of interest.

You know, that does
sound quite interesting.

- Well, do you want me to book it ?
- I'll do it.

Do you have your credit card details ?

Of course, well,
I'm glad you're so keen.

I am.

It means everything to me.

It just needs powder.

Oh, you should see the hotel
I've booked, it looks awesome.

I want you guys to get a good
night's sleep, busy days ahead.

Where ?
Where are we being busy ?

I've got some interesting
potential venues.

Like what ?

Scala.

That's great.

What is it ?

Ah, the ultimate mass music event,
and it's being live streamed.

Who's playing ?

All the most credible emerging artists.
It's a great showcase.

- Cool.
- See ?

I know what I'm doing guys.

No !

No !

He's nicked our clothes !

I thought there was no crime
in the Cotswolds.

- Oh we can buy new clothes.
- You can buy them.

That's what I mean,
I can buy new clothes.

In fact, before our next gig,

I wanted to talk to you guys
about your style, as a band.

It's...

You need a fresh look.

Trust me !

The George & Dragon.

I breathe it, I become it.

Can you start unloading the van ?

Girl done good.

TONIGHT DOLLAR DAYS
CANCELLED

Can I help you ?

I'm Kat Malone,
manager of the band.

- Didn't expect you to turn up.
- What's the problem ?

The credit card details
you gave us for the deposit.

- Yes ?
- Well the bank's investigating.

It believes the card has been cloned.

The owner, the real owner,
has been contacted.

First name George, surname Anddragon.

- Oh, I get it.
- It's like the George & Dragon.

There's been a mix up.

We're not playing tonight.

A mix up ?

But I checked their webpage,
we're playing.

- We're not.
- What kind of mix up ?

Yours ?

28th of October,
Dollar Days, cancelled.

I'm sorry guys, I'm so sorry.

We're still playing the Scala.

- Are we ?
- Well...

Don't bullshit, I've checked
the website and we're not even on it.

I put myself on the line for you.
The guys, they trust me.

I'm trying to keep this band together,
it's a huge responsibility.

- I know.
- Do you ?

Back then Brian wanted to fire you and
it was me who pushed for you to stay.

I believed in you.

Was that a mistake ?

I don't know.

You have to know, you need
to really, really want this. It's hard.

That's why people take the easy route
with the talent shows

and not playing live.

- But that's not who we are, is it ?
- I don't always know exactly who I am.

You're our manager.

But managers who get too close
are managers who get fired.

What do you mean ?

Our last manager, we worked together,
planning it out,

we wanted the same things,
just a bit too much.

But how can it be too much ?
Surely that's a good thing.

He wanted my girlfriend
so he took her.

Now they're together.

Come on, let's get a drink.

I'll see if I can buy you some time,
but they ain't happy.

You better
sort something fast, alright ?

Yeah, response has been solid.

The audiences love them.

Great.

- How's it going with Marcus ?
- So good.

They're playing a gig
at Scala tomorrow.

Cool.

Yeah, the band are playing
a gig right now.

Awesome.

Yeah, sorry, it's
probably a bit noisy.

Shame you're not here,
I could have got you in tomorrow.

Marcus always wants me at his gigs.

- Kat, I...
- Yes ?

I'll see you back at school.

Yeah, see you then.

We need to talk.

Come on, get up.

Can you stop doing whatever it is that
you're doing for like one minute...

You want to fire me ?
Get on with it, just fire me.

Hey, why would I want to do that ?

I mean I've made some pretty dumb
decisions in the past,

but even I wouldn't fire the girl
who's relentless, headstrong,

unappreciated hard work has just
got our band one million hits.

What ?

The video you posted,
Journey From A to B.

Badly Drawn Boy's
just put it up on his Twitter page

saying,
check this out, it's fresh.

We've gone viral !

I'm sure you do want them to play,
but I'm weighing up options

and I can't commit
until I speak to them personally.

Look, I have
my own shit to deal with.

Yes, but they're asleep
in their hotel at the moment,

so, I will get back to you
as soon as they're up.

Coffee anyone ?

- Go away.
- No ?

Okay.

Scala anyone ?

Us ?

And Badly Drawn Boy,
he wants you as his support act !

- Need anything ?
- What are you listening to ?

It's 1958, the Beatles
first ever recording.

In Spite Of All The Danger,

written by McCartney and Harrison
when they were only fifteen.

Now listen to this.

It's 1963, it's five years later,

they now have Ringo and Lennon's
just written Please Please Me.

Alan Williams was their first manager.

He heard them play but he
didn't listen, not like really listen,

he couldn't see what they could be.

Brian Epstein, he could,
he had this, like, sixth sense.

Mm, the potential.

The potential.

Everyone's good at something,

it's just most people don't get
listened to, not hard enough.

Mum: My plane's just landed.
I'm on my way home. We need to talk.

When Epstein died, do you know
what Paul McCartney said ?

If ever there were a fifth member
of the Beatles, it was Mr. Epstein.

- That's cool.
- Very cool. Very, very, very cool.

We're the second band on,
so we should be alright.

It's not far.

Watch this, I'll get us there on time.

Yeah, in time for last orders.

If I'm driving so slow,
why is the engine smoking ?

- Yeah, right.
- No seriously, it's really smoking.

- Sid !
- I thought you filled it up ?

- I did !
- With what ?

Diesel.

It's petrol, it runs on petrol.

What we going to do now ?

I used to have a job
in an ice cream van.

I'll sort it, I will sort it.

Mr. Freezy Tops
definitely ran on diesel.

Kat, we can't miss this !

Grab the gear.

- We're going to leg it.
- What about the drums ?

I'll come back
for anything we can't carry.

Come on !

We're with Jane,
we're supposed to go backstage.

- I don't have any tickets here.
- This is a joke.

There's nothing here for you.

There's no backstage passes.

Looks like Marcus
doesn't want you there.

Come on ! Come on !

So no Kat, with no drums ?

Any ideas ?

Sid !

I'm visualising drums.

- Oh man.
- Is there anyone we can borrow off ?

Yeah, no problem bro.
I'll send the manager over now.

- His name is Karl.
- Karl ?

- Yeah, yeah, he'll sort it for you.
- Thanks a lot man.

Well you can stop visualising.

It worked.

They've got the drums,
they're on stage.

- Thanks man, appreciate it.
- No problem.

If there's anything else,
there's my card.

Alright guys...

Hello Scala !

We're so happy to be here, it's been
quite a journey, but we're here.

So please can you give
a warm welcome to Dollar Days !

- Thank you so much for this.
- No worries, pleasure.

Thank you ! And now for someone
who needs no introduction,

please welcome
Badly Drawn Boy !

Hello London !

Mate, did you hear them
shouting my name ?

They all love you.

There's always
that one member of the band

that breaks out
to become the heart throb.

So I've got you an interview slot
with BBC Radio London.

You need to be at their studio by nine.

Got it.

Oh, and can you make sure Sid
doesn't say anything strange ?

Too strange ?

- Can you not just enjoy this moment ?
- I am.

- Just look over there.
- Oh my god, the numbers are going up.

- I'm not sure if it is a...
- Stop ! Who cares ?

I'm not the one with seven hundred
and fifty eight thousand people

looking at pictures of me.

Wow.

Yes, wow.

In fact, I'm going to take
a photo now, I need an update.

Why are you smiling ?

Because I'm happy.

No, I don't want happy.

You look too approachable.

Imagine you're thinking
about organelles and cell theory.

Much better.

See, it's not enough to be good
looking, you need to be mysterious.

You think I'm good looking.

You are in the room.

I mean that if good looking
is a room then you're in it.

The doorway,
definitely in the doorway good looking.

- Kat !
- Jane.

I heard the band play,
they were amazing.

- Thanks for the backstage pass, Kat.
- Where's Marcus ?

You've made me look like
a complete tit.

I told all my friends on Pink Chat
I had a backstage pass.

You are such a little virgin.

Look ! Hi, can we get a selfie ?

Sure.

Thanks.

I knew she couldn't keep
a hold of a fitty like him.

Thanks,
that's going straight on my story.

Yeah, Jane dumped because she's such
a weave she wouldn't even...

Back off, frog face.

And you, you post one word

and I will shove those crappy hair
extensions of yours right up your arse.

I thought Scala had
an entrance policy, no weirdos.

Do you guys know each other ?

We are not friends,
we're at school together.

She's in my class,
A Level Spanish, that's all.

School ?

Kat ?

You're a schoolgirl ?

And... And a manager.

You've been lying to us,
right from the start ?

You've been deliberately
making up all of this ?

- It wasn't like that.
- Then what was it like ?

I thought, in this industry of bullshit
and dishonesty and ego,

I'd finally found someone
who was smart, genuine and funny.

But you,
you're just exactly the same.

You know what, no, no, actually,
no, you're not, you're worse.

Because you made me believe that
somehow I wasn't the only one that,

that I wasn't alone
in all of this.

You're fake, Kat Malone.

He's not responding to my texts.

What did you write ?

Well I was reminding him
about the radio interview.

Maybe you should try
something a bit more personal.

So what happened with Marcus ?

It was fun to begin with.

He made me feel,
I don't know, like really special.

Then it got heavy.

I should never have
pushed you together.

Don't be silly, it was our game.

Somehow it became real.

And I couldn't be the girl he wanted.

I just wasn't ready.

I'm so sorry.

I think you're the coolest girl I know.

I have an idea.

What ?

When we get back,
shall we go out one night

and we can pretend to be just us ?

Okay.

Oh god, she's going to kill me !
She's back early,

I think she knows it's me who's
been spending zillions on her card.

You should face it.

Before you say anything,
please show me mercy.

You need to come home now.

You know where I am ?

Gran's in hospital, she needs you.
You've got to come home now.

So this evening I'm really happy
to have here in the studio,

straight from performing
with Badly Drawn Boy, Dollar Days.

- Hi guys, welcome.
- Hello, how you doing ?

So you've played Scala.
Where else can we expect to see you ?

Ah, we're going to be supporting
the Risk Factor on tour.

Is that an exclusive ?

Ah, yeah it is,
ah, we've just been confirmed.

We've known the guys for a while

and now that we share
the same management, it makes sense.

- Great.
- Thanks for having us.

They've dropped me.

I just wanted to bring her
a few things, some personal things,

the hospital room is, so stark.

What happened ?

She fell and then she lay there,
by herself, for over a day.

Where were you ?

If I'd been here none
of this would have happened,

Gran would have called
and I would have run down.

She was here alone and in pain.

You need to start making
better choices.

Not for me, for you.

Mum...

I want to tell you
where I've been.

I'm here.

I'm sorry about your gran.

We're hoping she'll be out of hospital
by the end of the week

and we can look
after her from home.

More hot water ? Pastries ?

I got it all wrong.

I let everyone down,
Gran, you, mum, the band.

Me ?

How am I supposed to get to the Cash
& Carry on Thursday ? I've got no van.

I'm so sorry, Faz.

I'll sort it.

What can I do ?

Do what you're good at.

Weren't you organising
some exam results concert ?

Oh that'll be lame, all the acts,
they're just school kids.

Just school kids ?

Okay.
I suppose I shouldn't let them down.

I'll do it.

Thanks.

So, right now,
who has my van ?

- The band.
- You got Alex's number ?

I think it's time we got it back.

END OF EXAMS CONCERT

Kat Malone !

Mr. Cato.

What did you get ?

Two D's and a C.

The C was for music.

You're so much brighter than that.

Not to worry,
let's figure out what went wrong

and I'll organise a meeting
with your other teachers

and we'll turn those grades around.

We've still got six months.

Hi, I'm looking for Mr. Faz,
I'm here to return his van.

He gave me this address.

Are you Mr. Faz ?

I've got his van.

I am not Mr. Faz.

Then tell me,
exactly who are you ?

I am just a schoolgirl,

but a schoolgirl who loves music
more than anything in the whole world

and who lied to you more than anyone
has ever in the whole world.

And I don't know
how to make that right.

Where would we be
if we hadn't have met you ?

We'd still be trundling along,

playing the same circuit of clubs
that we always had been,

with our four hundred
and twelve followers.

Three hundred and seventy two.

Three hundred
and seventy two followers.

Me pretending everything's alright,
everything's alright with the band,

everything's alright with me,
when it most definitely wasn't.

You weren't the only one lying.

And look at us now,
we've got over a million followers,

playing the crowds
we could have never have dreamt off,

sharing our music and it's all real.

And that's all because of you.

You had something to do with it.

Well we all did, all of us,
we did it together.

If anyone was the fourth
member of the band, it was you.

A concert ?

Better get going.

Thank you and now,
for one night only, please welcome...

Dollar Days !

Thank you !

Thank you for having us back

at a venue that is very, very special
to us, the Casablanca Cave.

And a very special thank you
to Mr. Faz.

Without you, man,
we wouldn't have been here.

This next song is very special to me,

it's one of the first songs
I ever wrote.

This song's for you, Kat.

Are you okay ?

THE END

You have to hear this.

Can we go again ?

You have to hear this.

Let's do it again.

Do you understand
why I work my arse off

to send you to the best private school
I can afford ?

Because when I went to school...

It's alright,
I drank at the wrong time.

I bet Bowie never had a r...
Sorry.

I bet Bowie never had
a yellow w-warning. Ah, sorry.

If anyone was the fifth Beatle...

If anyone was the fifth Beatle,
it was Mr. Epstein.

I just can't do it, I just can't do it
in the scene. Funny that.

What the hell did you fill it up with ?

We only used the best of TNT
on this.

Four actors died today.

Guys, I want to thank you so much.

That's a wrap for today.
See you back in London.
