Good afternoon, beautiful people.

You're tuned in to Champion Steady Radio.

This is Beres Champion

..coming live and direct with pure vibes.

First up, one from the classic rhythm selection.

You know what it is.

Jah Jah Why? By Floyd Seivright

CLATTERING Oh, for... sake!

Lord God, Aria, take your head out of the oven!

Please! Things can't be that bad, surely. Cooker's gone.

Let me take a look.

Oh!

I swear, if it's not one thing with this place, it's another.

Well, aren't you lucky that you've got me here...

? To fix it all for you? ?

THEY CHUCKLE

I'm going to have to go and talk to big boss

about getting a new one. You're forgetting I'm here, Aria.

Every time something happens in this place, it's,

"Big boss this, big boss that."

He co-owns the place. There's nothing we can do about it.

Not for now, anyhow.

They're sending a car for me. It's mad. Don't fuck it up, then.

I'll see you and those dimples tonight, yeah?

Maybe tomorrow cos I'm about to be really busy.

All right. Well, I'm sure you could fit me in

that busy, busy schedule of yours, huh? Huh?

See you later. Yeah?

And we'll tell Bos, yeah? Yeah, we'll see.

Can you come on? I need you to help me out in the kitchen. Sorry, Mum. I'm not staying.

I just needed to check you was all right before I...

Check if I'm all right?

You've got a shift to do and this place is falling apart.

I said I was going to the studio.

What you on about? I literally said that yesterday.

Mark booked it for me.

Mum, this was so exciting... Exciting?

So, instead of supporting your family,

you're going to go off and have fun? Fun?

This is an opportunity.

How can you help me if you're mucking about in a studio?

My car's here. Thanks for your support.

What do you mean, "My car's here"?

All set, Ms Champion? Mm-hm.

Yeah, I spoke to your building manager earlier.

Let's just say he's not interested in taking promises as payments.

It's not good, is it? No, Dawn, it's not good at all!

How has this happened?

This is going to sound a lot worse than it is,

so please bear with me,

but you are presently bankrupt.

So, who's been watching my money whilst I've been away?

Well, your dad's been keeping an eye on your finances,

but you don't know the cost of everything

he had to pay for when you went into...

Look, at least there's a way forward.

The label will get your single, we'll get you out on tour,

and - boom, bam - everything back to normal, Bos.

It's not as easy as that, man.

I can't just drop a new single out of nowhere.

You used to deliver hits in your sleep. What's changed, eh?

Listen, you better get working on that single,

and make it a banger, yeah?

Cos we're all counting on you

cos there's a lot of people waiting to get paid, Bosco, me included.

Oh, and listen, yeah? One more thing...

HE BREATHES HEAVILY

WHITE NOISE BUILDS

This place is the business, V.

All the greats have recorded here.

Now it's your turn. This is insane.

Beautiful, isn't it?

It's all for you.

You should see some of the studios Bosco records in. Yeah?

Well, today's not about Bosco, OK?

OK. OK. Let's jump straight in, shall we?

You know Laurent -

best sound engineer this side of the river.

Laurent, are you ready? Always.

OK, great. Let's get her set up in here, OK?

Erm, Mark, I've been thinking.

I just wanted to talk to you about... about the song.

Erm, it's not... It's not very me.

Erm, and I'm not really, like, one of those, erm,

sexy kind of girls.

Don't overthink it, OK?

OK. OK, Laurent, you ready?

? Dancing in my underwear

? I just love it, I don't care

? When you're with me and you stare

? It feels like we're almost there

? Undress me with your eyes But don't touch me

? I love when you watch me... ?

She's just standing there with her hands in her pockets.

Let her warm up and then she'll be calm, man.

? Go the deepest Just like her dreams

? When you sleep all day before... ?

PHONE VIBRATES

We're from the KTS debt collecting agency.

? I just love it, I don't care

? When you're with me... ?

BACKING TRACK CONTINUES PLAYING

I'm sorry, but these lyrics just aren't me.

I'll try again in a second, but I just can't...

Hey, hey, hey, don't worry. You're doing great, all right?

All the ingredients are there. Just... I don't know.

Just try and go with it a bit more. But, Mark, the thing is, I just...

Listen, V, if we can get this out this week,

then we're eligible for New Music Friday, OK?

Then we shoot the video.

By that point, everyone's going to know who you are.

Yeah, but, Mark, this is fake, OK?

And most artists, they blow because what they're singing about,

or rapping about, feels real.

Listen, Vita, we all have to put on a bit of a mask in this industry,

compromise a little.

You're just going to have to trust me.

All right, let's... let's have a break.

PHONE RINGS She's just got to try a bit more, man.

All right, I've got to take this.

Yo. No, I'm at the studio.

How's it going, mate? Not well.

All right! Mm! That good?

Yo! But make sure you don't eat too much, though.

Please! You can't even afford to look at me.

What you saying, babe?

Hey. And how is my favourite barber?

You all right, Honey?

You know the work I put in to get into that studio.

And not only does she come in and take my whole thing away from me,

she acted like it was making her sad to do it.

SHE SCOFFS

Look, it's cool if you're not at a place

where you can be happy for her

or whatever, but...

..you need to let go of this.

I can't go back to Lorenzo's, Tay.

When I left, I told that man to shove his mic up his mum.

TAYO CHUCKLES

Oh, he's forgiven you before, Honey.

He'll forgive you again.

You're the best singer that place has ever seen.

You feeling good otherwise, though?

I know what'll make me feel better. Honey...

..come on.

You know I'm seeing someone. Hmm.

Yeah, but is she as good with her hands as I am, though?

No comment. THEY LAUGH

Yo. You OK?

So, what, like, are you used to harder bars, yeah?

Erm, yes.

Ah, sorry.

I didn't know I was talking to the female Giggs. Right.

Listen, yeah? Mm-hm.

Basically, not only do I write my own stuff,

but I write most of Bosco's, too.

That don't leave this room.

Wait, you being for real?

I know.

Meant to be some global superstar, Bosco Champion,

and he needs his little sister to write most of his songs for him.

I mean, he's a performer. OK, sure. Great.

But he ain't a lyricist.

What, you think he wrote a song about the beauty and power

within black women? Please!

He must have really done something to piss you off, innit?

I'm not sure I'm going to make it, mate, to be honest.

I'm not even surprised he's scared about his little comeback.

Hold on one second. Hold on one sec.

He's a selfish prick

who relies on his little sister to write his songs.

Yeah. His sister!

Songs that she doesn't even get thanks or credit for. Yeah.

Ever since we were kids!

Sorry. No, that's cool.

I just swear that guy knows how to rile me up like no-one else.

Look, all this talk about you being your brother's barsman,

I ain't hearing anything from you.

Forget what Mark wants for a sec.

Why don't you...

..sing something that's yours?

Really? Really.

OK. Yeah? Yeah, let me get into it.

Yeah, let me just clear the space for you.

How's that? Yeah, it's nice.

Come on, Giggs. SHE CHUCKLES

? Ooh, ooh, yeah, yeah, oh

That's what I'm talking about.

DOOR OPENS

Sorry. I was just playing about. You ready?

Did you write that? Erm, yeah.

I wrote it ages ago for me and Honey to sing when we were, like, 15.

That's the single. It's perfect.

Huh? No, no.

I can sing something else.

Why would you sing anything else? That track is golden!

Laurent, reload that. No, I'll have to check with Honey first.

Hey, V, it's perfect. Same again. Yes!

BOSCO SIGHS

Got to pack the rest of my stuff, innit?

What, you've got to leave this place, as well?

Yo, obviously, I'd say you could come stay with me,

but it's just all a bit close right now.

My brother's wife has just moved in and... It's calm, bro.

Don't worry about it.

I've got to ask a question, though.

I need to make this new track.

Well, boy, you better get on the phone to V, then, innit?

All that chat, man...

I've got to make this track and go back out on tour...

..all the old stuff, and I'm going to need a DJ.

A tour?

You just got out of pen. You should be going to see your daughter.

That's what you should be doing.

Bos, I want to...

I want to chat to you about a couple of things. I've got to get my money back up, man. Don't you see this?

They took all my shit! I just... I don't know, man.

Like, you know I would, but I've got bookings and that now.

Yeah, yeah, man, we know.

It'll be like old days, man. Come on!

You're really telling me you don't miss it, bro? The freedom, the gyal.

Huh? Hmm?

Bro, you're moving like a virgin.

What, you cuffed up or something now? No, man.

You've got to apologise to her, you know? To who?

Who do you think? To Vita.

Blud, what's it to you?!

Who's going to write the single you need?

She's already writing for herself, bro,

and that prick Bulla. What, you forgot?

I don't need her.

BOSCO TUTS AND SIGHS I'll do it myself, man.

Whoa, Giggs!

All this talk about you being nervous,

but you're killing it.

I just never knew it could feel so good, innit?

Well, it sounds as good as it feels for you.

Who messaged you to change your mood like that?

You got a man keeping tabs on you or something?

No, no, it's nothing like that.

I'm going to head back inside, yeah? Thanks.

? You sheltered me from harm

? Kept me warm

? Kept me warm

? You gave my life to me

? Set me free

? Set me free

? The finest years I ever knew

? Is all the years I had with y... ?

Do I need to count it? No. You know where me live.

Always finding the negative, innit? Fuck off, Tayo!

Fuck off back to your new girl.

I don't need you to look after me any more.

I didn't know. I've been busy all day.

It's going to be fine, you know. Is it?

They want me to do a whole tour, man.

Look, I know you want to go,

but I think you should tell them you can't.

I don't think you're ready right now.

I don't think that's an option.

All right. Well, we'll figure it out.

But remember what I always tell you -

remember who you are.

This is only temporary. We've been through worse.

We'll get through this.

So, why are you doing all this to me, then?

We've got a special guest, as well.

We've got Vita Champion on the show, Bosco's little sister.

Dumb thing's not working! Come on!

Mm! What we having, Chef?

Nothing. Well, that's not true, is it?

Talk to me.

I've been asked to perform tonight.

That's great, isn't it? Is it?

I just feel like it's another way for me to piss people off.

Honey's not going to like it.

Bosco's definitely not going to like it. No, no, no, stop it.

Stop thinking about whether or not other people will like it.

Do you like it?

Well, obviously, I'm kind of nervous,

but it's kind of cool, too.

Well, there you go, then. So, what, you want me and your mum to come and see you? Yeah, no, thank you.

Don't worry. I'm sorting it.

A tour. You're joking! When?

End of next week.

SHE LAUGHS

Oh, it's always about you, Bos.

It's no wonder Vita's doing her own thing.

Oh, she can do her little music ting if she wants.

"Little music ting"?

Performing with Bulla doesn't look very little from where I'm standing.

Mark told me tonight's show sold out in ten minutes.

Winners only.

Global superstar Bosco Champion,

and he needs his little sister to write most of his songs for him.

What, you think he wrote a song

about the beauty and power within black women?

At least Bulla's not a selfish prick

who relies on his little sister to write his songs.

Songs that she doesn't even get thanks or credit for.

HEARTBEAT THUDS

CAMERAS CLICK

Yo, V. I didn't know they was recording. V!

They set me up. Hey, hey! Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

What? Get off me, man!

Can't believe this shit.

Hey, Vita!

Oh, domestics, domestics, domestics.

Ah. Boy, am I glad to see you.

Today was just one thing after another, honestly. Is that right?

Oh, you poor thing. Yeah. Come here. Hmm?

Give me a kiss. Mm.

Turn around. No... Hold on. My shoe.

Trust me, trust me. Keep your eyes closed.

What are you doing? Back out fe the door, come on. Oh, my God.

That's it. See it there? All right? Mm-hm.

Now, you remember your maths, yeah? Mm-hm.

OK, so 90 degrees turn to the left. OK.

Oh, you remember! Good. Don't look yet. Don't look. OK. Not looking.

OK, hold on, hold on.

Hurry up, now. Voila!

Now, now, it's not new, but it works.

How did you afford this? No mind that.

Open it.

Open what?

Oh, the oven. The oven.

THEY CHUCKLE

OVEN DOORS SQUEAK

Len... Aria.

Aria, look at me. Look at me.

So we've been together for six years now, yeah?

CAR DOOR SLAMS We need to talk about this!

And those have been the best years of my life...

Don't chat with me ever again in your life!

Lord have mercy! We'll talk about this later.

Don't know how many times I can say sorry!

For this, from the other day,

for doing anything you don't want me to do.

Instead of always saying sorry, why don't you just

flipping stop doing things you have to be sorry for?

What does that even mean? Stop this right now! Get in the house.

Don't know what explanation you have for this,

but it'd better be a good one. Do you want me to just sit in my room,

organising your life on my phone

and never leaving till you say I'm allowed?

I've been doing that, Bos, for a very long time! Yeah!

Look what happens when you leave the yard, though.

Look what happens.

You're so dumb, bro.

You know you fucked up, right? You know that's not me.

I swear, I was just talking to Laurent and...

Ain't gotta explain nothing to me, Vita, yeah?

CAR DOOR SLAMS

Is what he told me true? Mum!

Quit trying to sit with his girl, man. Vita?

I was in a studio and I swear they were making me

sing a song that I hated, and I did not know it was still recording.

When your dad hears about this...

The Champion name is everything to him!

I know what the Champion name is, Mum, all right?

It was Mark - he was the one that was trying to make me do the stuff.

You see how much trouble this music business is causing?

It's enough now, Vita.

You don't want to work for your brother any more?

Then you can take on some more shifts at the restaurant.

I'm not going back to the restaurant, Mum.

I'm not stopping my music career before it's even started.

Really? You're leaving my restaurant?

Well, you can leave my house, too. What? You heard what I said.

Where am I going to go?

You're smart enough to chat your brother's business behind his back,

then you're smart enough to figure that one out for yourself.

Are you sure about this, Aria? Out fe pickni!
