Episode 3
FIRE ALARM Teaching can seriously damage your health.
This qualification is a natural step for someone with your ability.
I'll have to think about it.
Simon will support you, just as you'll support him one day.
I thought your official title was Acting Head of Department.
Jac I noticed a few mistakes.
I've always been a crap speller.
It's a pity I don't fancy older women! I'm looking for an extra member of staff .
.
to teach Media Studies this year.
Nerys Edwards has supervised the subject since the start of term.
I love watching films.
But you don't love being in the classroom.
Stuart's a gardener.
Call me.
Grug is going on the training course.
We'll have to watch what we say now.
I won't say anything to anyone about the police, Miss.
HOME / WORK WORK Good morning.
Miss Matthews, the duty rota isn't up yet.
I'd appreciate it if you did it before you had your coffee.
Tough at the top, eh? I have some good news.
Mrs Gwen Lloyd is out of the clinic and should be back in school soon.
I've also spoken to the parents of Stephen um Gibson.
.
.
about the unfortunate affair.
They have decided not to take the matter any further.
I need someone to volunteer to be the school's Green Officer.
Mr Watkins? Great.
Green Officer? We're comparing our carbon footprint with that of Mbomba High .
.
our twin school in Malawi, of course.
Mr Watkins will visit each classroom .
.
to gather the necessary information.
Welcome, Mr Rowlands.
Which reminds me .
.
some heads of department have informed me Ah, Miss Matthews.
You got them.
I didn't like you playing with dirty old balls.
Thanks, Mr El.
Special treatment, Miss Matthews? Bus duty again? What happened to taking care of your little sister? No favouritism.
Mair Jones walk! Everything you need is in there.
Thank you.
Did you switch the Xbox off standby? Jealousy is awful.
Mr James.
Come to my office during your second lesson, please.
Welsh! Ah, Miss Edwards.
I'd like a word with you about the Media Studies course later today.
OK.
I hope you're not poaching my staff.
Of course I'm not.
Miss Edwards? Good morning, children.
Oh Sorry, Miss.
Are those real elephants, sir? Well done.
Did they smell, sir? Yes, a bit like you.
Is that your girlfriend, sir? WOLF WHISTLES Titanic.
Spiderman.
Martha, Jac A Sianco.
Imagine that it's early evening in a small cafe .
.
in a romantic city.
Paris.
Good morning, Miss Edwards.
Let me introduce the carbon footprint team.
In you come, in you come! How many lights are on in here? There's one obvious thing that Miss Edwards can do to save the planet.
Open the curtains? Yes, well done.
Excellent! That's much better.
Thank you, Miss Edwards.
Follow me, we're going to the gym next.
Right where were we before Mr Watkins interrupted us? Paris? Yes, Paris.
Montmartre.
A dark, romantic cafe.
Inside the cafe .
.
there's someone you really like.
The field trip.
We'll be leaving promptly at 9.
00am.
If you don't get here on time, you'll miss the bus.
We need your deposits by next Friday, please.
If 5x -2 = MOBILE PHONE Oh, oh.
I recognize that ringtone.
It's Owain, isn't it? Owain, I want you to type the answer into your phone .
.
and send it in a text message to Lowri.
I haven't got her number.
Yes, he does.
He asked me for it.
That's enough.
Mr Rees, are you aware of the school's policy on mobile phones? Yes, but I've had an idea.
We can make Mathematics more interesting for the children .
.
by using the technology that's important to them.
I've prepared a chart.
As long as the phones are only used as part of the lesson.
Lowri, if you think the answer is correct .
.
send a text to Tomos.
Has she got my number? TEXT ALER Yes.
What's wrong, Branwen? Another field trip.
Mam will go nuts.
Doesn't your mother like you going on trips? SHE SOBS Hey, hey.
And the answer is Me, sir? Lowri? Two.
Excuse me for a moment, Mr Rees.
Let's try another one.
What's the problem? Branwen is worried about the cost of the field trip I've organized.
Go back to your class, Branwen.
She thinks her mother will hit the roof.
Her father has just been made redundant.
Should we help? The school has bursaries for cases such as these.
Branwen will need to complete a form.
I'll sort it out.
Thank you.
Dan Never touch the children just in case.
Of course.
Sit down! Sit down and give the phone back to Sioned.
Back to your seats now! MOBILE PHONE Sioned.
Tell your mother she can collect your phone from the office later.
Mr Rees, even though it was a good idea to use the mobile phones .
.
it seems that 7H are not mature enough to use them responsibly .
.
which is very disappointing.
I asked you to use the exhibition as inspiration for your homework.
I can't wait to see your drawings.
Pass them here, please.
Thank you.
Nadine? I haven't got it.
Why? Dad put it in the bin.
That's a rubbish excuse.
How about "the dog ate it"? Try again, Smelly! That's enough.
I want to know why Jasmine isn't in school again today.
Oh, a rash.
It sounds painful.
What do we have here? The mobile is charging, but the battery is full.
What about calamine lotion? If we sent information to parents by email, the school could save paper.
Miss Delaney, please send a doctor's note to the school.
OK, bye.
Some of us have got work to do.
The Head has asked us to do this.
Transport? Caryl? Did you walk or ride a bike to school today, Miss? A bike? In these shoes? What do you think I am? Stop that right now, please.
Miss Haddon, I've lost my mobile.
Oh, right.
How did you get to school, Mr James? By bike.
Do I get a green footprint? Well done, Mr James.
Let's move on to the next place.
Mr Watkins drove in.
I had a lot of things to carry.
Yeah, yeah.
Mr James did you find out what the Head wanted? Promotion? Nobel Peace Prize? Chicken in a Basket? Come on.
Out you go.
Let's go.
Come on.
SCHOOL BELL KNOCK ON DOOR Ah, here he is.
Mr James, this is Helen Lewis, Jac's mother.
Mrs Lewis wants to thank you for discovering Jac's dyslexia.
The extra help he'll receive will make a world of difference to him.
Yes it will.
I've been telling her about the success of our dyslexia unit.
I don't know if you read the Western Mail .
.
but they used our unit as an example of the support Dan I'd like to be a fly on the wall out there now.
What's wrong with you? I've done a full presentation to prove I can teach Media Studies .
.
but Nerys Edwards is too busy with her luvvies to discuss it.
Ask her out on a date.
She's bound to pay attention then.
I've pissed on my chips there.
It would be like an apology.
Women like that kind of thing.
But she's a bit old.
It's not stopping those two, is it? I don't think she'll want to.
She'll say yes.
Believe you me.
What on earth is going on? Are you alright? I've just seen my mother for the first time in .
.
twelve years.
Jac Lewis .
.
is a brother to me.
How am I supposed to behave around him? If you don't want to teach Jac, ask the Head if you can swap classes.
I don't understand How was the meeting? What's wrong with him? Oi! Walk! CHILDREN SNIGGER What on earth? LAUGHTER Miss Harries.
I need a female member of staff to sort out this circus.
Come on.
Everybody out! Quickly! Is there anyone else in here? Come on, Nadia.
You haven't got all day.
What on earth was going on in there? Ems I've got no idea, but Sion is great.
He can do both.
Yes, two sides of the brain.
It's difficult to talk during school hours.
The thing is, it's What about tonight at seven? Fine.
You've got a date.
Don't be silly.
There's too much in that.
You're more annoying than usual.
I blame the Head.
I'm sure you do.
How was your date? It wasn't a date.
It's only a date if you intend to sleep with the person.
And do you? I don't have to sleep with him.
I've got him wrapped around my little finger already.
You think you're God's gift, don't you? I don't think it, I know it.
There's one guy you'll never get into bed.
Wanna bet? If I get to second base Third base.
OK, but you'll have to do my bus duty for a week.
What if you fail? I'll do yours, but I won't fail.
You don't stand a chance.
He's asexual.
Give me a week.
Enjoy your bus duty.
Hiya, Aneurin.
You've got to tell the Head.
He'll kill me, Ems.
It'll be even worse if Nadine's parents tell him.
Drink-driving with a pupil in the car.
I wasn't over the limit.
But you were breathalysed.
You know what he's like.
No smoke without fire.
Do you want me to come with you? No, I'm a big girl.
I'll be fine.
It's one of those days today.
Who on earth is that now? I hope that has something to do with the coursework I'm waiting for.
LOUD BANG Who's making that racket? Who's on lunch duty? LOUD BANG Oh! Windows! Boys, move away from the car.
Go back to the yard now! Who was that? The guy from the gallery.
He's coming to see my paintings tonight.
Do you need a chaperone? It isn't like that.
He's a man, isn't he? It's always like that.
He might give me an exhibition.
I'm definitely coming just to make sure that's all he gives you! Oh Sorry.
You didn't call about sorting out your garden.
No, sorry.
I will.
It does need some attention.
I look forward to it.
Sorting out your garden? What? Isn't it obvious? He's after you.
He's got a wife and daughter, Sara.
He's just Gay? I've tried everyone.
There's no chance of finding a babysitter for tonight.
I'll do it.
No, you don't want to be babysitting on a Friday night.
It's probably best that I don't go.
I've got bad news for him.
See you later.
I've never understood that game.
I find Maths really difficult.
It has nothing to do with numbers.
It's pure logic.
How does it work? SCHOOL BELL Can I have a word, Mr Elis? Not at the moment, Miss Harries.
Mr Watkins? It's going wonderfully, Mr Elis.
Sorry? The carbon footprint project.
Well done.
By the way, you and Mr James will be swapping Year 7 classes as from now.
Can I ask why? No.
Sir? You know that homework I'm busy, Jac.
What are you looking at, frog-face? Anyone? Hollyoaks? Just go over your notes today.
Oh, sir! Someone has broken your heart.
Alright? Try again.
SHE GASPS Where were we in the last lesson? KNOCK ON DOOR This is some of the coursework you asked about.
Oh, and you left this in the staffroom.
Thank you, Mr Rowlands.
I'm glad you enjoyed it.
PUPILS SNIGGER Nice shirt, by the way.
PUPILS LAUGH Alright.
WINDOW SMASHES Aaargh! SCHOOL BELL Thank you.
Have you got a minute? No.
Caretaker.
Window.
Give this to your parents to sign and bring it back to Miss Haddon.
Thanks, Miss.
Branwen? Miss Edwards is looking for a babysitter tonight.
Are you free? Yes, cool.
Thank you.
No problem.
Thanks for that magazine.
It gave me a great idea for my class.
Glad to be of assistance.
But you need to be careful.
You don't want people suspecting that you're gay! SHE WOLF WHISTLES What a mess! Did you see who was responsible? No, sorry.
Mr Lloyd claims that he saw Jac Lewis with the ball.
I was teaching at the time.
I understand you want to protect the boy I didn't see anything.
SCHOOL BELL Can you remind me by when you wanted the coursework? Didn't you note it? I'll have to let you know.
Hi.
See you at seven.
Mr Elis? Mr Elis? Miss Matthews, are you aware of the school policy on mobile phones? Of course.
Please implement the policy .
.
instead of encouraging 7H to use their phones in class.
I heard it was a shambles.
I don't expect a prospective headmistress to break basic rules.
No, I'm sorry.
You've disappointed me.
I'm worried about Sioned Evans, 7H.
She's being bullied.
I was bullied at school because of my stammer.
I thought if I shared my experience with her, she would feel better.
That's the last thing you should do.
Not that you listen to any of my advice.
Are you going home? Think about me waiting for the buses whilst you're sipping your G&T.
Sioned? Can I have a word, please? HOME / WORK HOME Friday.
Hallelujah! Dan met the Head earlier.
Do you think he's behind the class swap? I've had a tough day, Simon.
Would he do that to me? He hasn't come home, so he's obviously avoiding me.
It all points to one thing.
Jealousy! He can't accept that the Head chose me as the school's Green Officer.
He gave me that look when the Head announced it.
He's just found out that Jac Lewis is his half-brother.
Jac Lewis 7C? His brother? What do you mean? His their mother turned up at school today.
He hasn't taken it well.
He hasn't seen her in twelve years.
I'm his best friend.
I know the story.
CAR HORN For once on a Friday, I'd like to be home in time for The Weakest Link.
What are you doing? Oh you and Mrs Lewis? Have you ever thought about joining MI5? Hey! Smart, Dan.
How long have you been seeing her? I'm sure the bus drivers arrive late on purpose.
Who? He's having a fling with one of the mothers.
It's bound to end in tears, but good luck to them.
Dan! Dan! Come in.
No.
It's a nice area.
Yes.
It's nicer than the dump where Dad and I lived after you left.
The last thing I wanted was to lose touch with you.
You left to play happy families with another man.
I didn't want to know you.
You have no idea.
I won't be teaching Jac any more .
.
so we don't have to see each other again, alright? Go back to your loving husband! He died.
I happened to be there.
That's why he told me and not you.
Can I watch this, please? Simon I suppose he told you that he'd asked to swap classes too.
No that was my suggestion.
He can't teach his half-brother.
Where are you going? To the pub.
It was two years ago.
He was ill for a while.
Jac took it very badly.
What have I done now? Nothing, sweetheart.
There's no point hiding it.
You know that older brother I'm always talking about Him? Where are you going? By the way, my father died too.
And you didn't even come to the funeral.
# I have principles that resemble the archangels # My work diary isn't under all of that stuff, is it? KNOCK ON DOOR Hiya! I've been locked out.
Can I use your shower? Yes, come in.
No probs.
Hiya, Aneurin.
This is Seren.
Hiya.
She can watch Friends at 8.
00pm, but the television goes off at 9.

She can have hot chocolate as long as she brushes her teeth afterwards.
Mam, I can speak for myself.
Oh fine.
Lights out at 9.
30pm.
Help yourself to anything in the kitchen, the biscuits are We'll be OK.
Enjoy your date.
Oh no, um It isn't a date.
It's a work meeting about work.
I'd better not be late.
Bye! Have I got Alzheimer's or what? That looks interesting.
These are geometric puzzles.
The idea is that the children connect them.
If they can calculate the number of blocks in the construction .
.
and the respective colours Are those yours? Oh, yes.
I can tell you're a swimmer.
You look so fit.
I haven't been for two days.
I've pulled a muscle.
I must have slept awkwardly.
I studied Sports Massage at college.
Where does it hurt? Here? I can't find it, and it's Friday night.
Come on, Becs.
Let's leave Aneurin in peace.
What's going on? He's got an amazing body oh! I thought you Silly me, I had them all along.
See you later.
What? Are you busy? Yes.
Out with your girlfriend? No.
Come out.
I'll buy you a drink.
And some nuts, if you're lucky! Oh, come on, Dan-the-man.
It's Friday night.

A FILM BY WYN ROWLANDS Swap those two around.
That way, you'll get better continuity.
Yes, maybe you're right.
Nadine? Hiya.
How do you know Miss Harries's address? I followed her home.
I wasn't lying about my homework, Miss.
Dad threw it in the bin.
Can I leave it with you so that I know it's safe? Did you paint those? You can talk to Miss Harries as much as you like on Monday.
Please don't come to her house again.
Wait, Nadine.
Did you do these? Yes, Miss.
These are too good for the bin.
Of course you can leave them here.
Thank you.
Right goodbye, Nadine.
She's talented.
She's creepy, and she needs a bath.

Haven't you, Ems? Bad idea, Sara fach.
Shut up, Emyr bach.
Have you calmed down yet? That depends.
Are there any more secrets you and Dan want to share with me? Stop it.
I came to meet my boyfriend for a drink after a tough week .
.
but if you can't be civil Don't.
I'm glad you're here.
What can I get you? A pint, please.
Well? How do I look? I thought you didn't fancy him.
I don't.
So, why the? You're in no position to give advice.
When was your last date? Ouch! I hope you didn't phone Megan Adams's father.
No.
Well, don't, because it's not a good idea.
Getting a straight man to do my garden? Your gay day is seriously on the blink.
He fancies you.
And Mr Saatchi fancies you.
It'll work in my favour if I want an exhibition and I might have fun too.
Life is too short to refuse such an offer.
Behave, and if you can't do that, then enjoy yourself.

Good evening.
Can I take your cardigan, madam? Yes.
Can you hold that? Thank you.

Ems! How are you? We're on a pub crawl.
We've been to five bars.
Four this is the fifth.
No, the sixth.
It's my round.
Ems? I'm fine, thanks.
This one's having a fling with one of the parents.
Imagine that! Do you always use oils? Only for these ones.
I tried to add depth with the brush, then pulled the colour back It was an exciting way of working.
I can see the energy in them.
There's an element of Gauguin in there too.
I heard this morning that an artist is not exhibiting at the gallery .
.
so I have a free slot next month.
Next month? Yes.
I think we should get to know one another a little bit better.
I'd like to know what kind of person you are before the exhibition.
Wha what do you mean? Thanks for a lovely evening.
My assistant will call you when there's another free slot.
It'll probably be next year.
James? Sorry if I've made you feel uncomfortable.
You haven't.
So what's the next step? Come in for coffee, if you like.
I was talking about the Media Studies course.
Oh, yes.
Of course.
You need to devise a detailed lesson plan for me to see .
.
and then I can present it to the Deputy and Coffee would be great.
Do you fancy watching a film? Yes.
I'll be there now.
I've got some DVDs in the boot.
Thank you, girls.
I hope she wasn't any trouble.
No, she was cool.
Yes.
Thank you for your help tonight, Miss Edwards! I'll get started on that lesson plan.
Goodnight.
Did you know about Dan's secret lover? He's coming back.
Where's this pub crawl taking you next? Don't change the subject.
I'm sure you've thought about snuggling up with a yummy daddy too! I haven't worked my way through the staff yet! I didn't realize Aneurin was your next target.
What about Jac Lewis breaking your window, Dan? The little rascal! I'm tired.
See you on Monday.
Goodnight.
TEXT ALER 'CAN'T COME, SORRY' Oh what do you want to? I can't reach it.

I'm sorry about Grug told me about your mother.
Well done, Grug.
You can always rely on a woman.
You should've told me.
Why would I do that? Because we're friends.
You forgot to tell me about the class swap too.
Not now.
This is the first chance I've had.
Do you know what? Simon, come to bed.
You're a prat.
He's completely drunk, you won't Why are you siding with him? # When I was a year or two younger # And I was a red-cheeked, innocent young lad # I'd go to school like every good little boy # Through fog and rain in the winter and the summer # At school, I had # History lessons, Geography lessons # And English lessons all the time # And one or two lessons in Welsh, fair play # Because I was a little Welshman #
This qualification is a natural step for someone with your ability.
I'll have to think about it.
Simon will support you, just as you'll support him one day.
I thought your official title was Acting Head of Department.
Jac I noticed a few mistakes.
I've always been a crap speller.
It's a pity I don't fancy older women! I'm looking for an extra member of staff .

How did you get to school, Mr James? By bike.
Do I get a green footprint? Well done, Mr James.
Let's move on to the next place.
Mr Watkins drove in.
I had a lot of things to carry.
Yeah, yeah.
Mr James did you find out what the Head wanted? Promotion? Nobel Peace Prize? Chicken in a Basket? Come on.
Out you go.
Let's go.
Come on.
SCHOOL BELL KNOCK ON DOOR Ah, here he is.
Mr James, this is Helen Lewis, Jac's mother.
Mrs Lewis wants to thank you for discovering Jac's dyslexia.
The extra help he'll receive will make a world of difference to him.
Yes it will.
I've been telling her about the success of our dyslexia unit.
I don't know if you read the Western Mail .
.
but they used our unit as an example of the support Dan I'd like to be a fly on the wall out there now.
What's wrong with you? I've done a full presentation to prove I can teach Media Studies .
.
but Nerys Edwards is too busy with her luvvies to discuss it.
Ask her out on a date.
She's bound to pay attention then.
I've pissed on my chips there.
It would be like an apology.
Women like that kind of thing.
But she's a bit old.
It's not stopping those two, is it? I don't think she'll want to.
She'll say yes.
Believe you me.
What on earth is going on? Are you alright? I've just seen my mother for the first time in .
.
twelve years.
Jac Lewis .
.
is a brother to me.
How am I supposed to behave around him? If you don't want to teach Jac, ask the Head if you can swap classes.
I don't understand How was the meeting? What's wrong with him? Oi! Walk! CHILDREN SNIGGER What on earth? LAUGHTER Miss Harries.
I need a female member of staff to sort out this circus.
Come on.
Everybody out! Quickly! Is there anyone else in here? Come on, Nadia.
You haven't got all day.
What on earth was going on in there? Ems I've got no idea, but Sion is great.
He can do both.
Yes, two sides of the brain.
It's difficult to talk during school hours.
The thing is, it's What about tonight at seven? Fine.
You've got a date.
Don't be silly.
There's too much in that.
You're more annoying than usual.
I blame the Head.
I'm sure you do.
How was your date? It wasn't a date.
It's only a date if you intend to sleep with the person.
And do you? I don't have to sleep with him.
I've got him wrapped around my little finger already.
You think you're God's gift, don't you? I don't think it, I know it.
There's one guy you'll never get into bed.
Wanna bet? If I get to second base Third base.
OK, but you'll have to do my bus duty for a week.
What if you fail? I'll do yours, but I won't fail.
You don't stand a chance.
He's asexual.
Give me a week.
Enjoy your bus duty.
Hiya, Aneurin.
You've got to tell the Head.
He'll kill me, Ems.
It'll be even worse if Nadine's parents tell him.
Drink-driving with a pupil in the car.
I wasn't over the limit.
But you were breathalysed.
You know what he's like.
No smoke without fire.
Do you want me to come with you? No, I'm a big girl.
I'll be fine.
It's one of those days today.
Who on earth is that now? I hope that has something to do with the coursework I'm waiting for.
LOUD BANG Who's making that racket? Who's on lunch duty? LOUD BANG Oh! Windows! Boys, move away from the car.
Go back to the yard now! Who was that? The guy from the gallery.
He's coming to see my paintings tonight.
Do you need a chaperone? It isn't like that.
He's a man, isn't he? It's always like that.
He might give me an exhibition.
I'm definitely coming just to make sure that's all he gives you! Oh Sorry.
You didn't call about sorting out your garden.
No, sorry.
I will.
It does need some attention.
I look forward to it.
Sorting out your garden? What? Isn't it obvious? He's after you.
He's got a wife and daughter, Sara.
He's just Gay? I've tried everyone.
There's no chance of finding a babysitter for tonight.
I'll do it.
No, you don't want to be babysitting on a Friday night.
It's probably best that I don't go.
I've got bad news for him.
See you later.
I've never understood that game.
I find Maths really difficult.
It has nothing to do with numbers.
It's pure logic.
How does it work? SCHOOL BELL Can I have a word, Mr Elis? Not at the moment, Miss Harries.
Mr Watkins? It's going wonderfully, Mr Elis.
Sorry? The carbon footprint project.
Well done.
By the way, you and Mr James will be swapping Year 7 classes as from now.
Can I ask why? No.
Sir? You know that homework I'm busy, Jac.
What are you looking at, frog-face? Anyone? Hollyoaks? Just go over your notes today.
Oh, sir! Someone has broken your heart.
Alright? Try again.
SHE GASPS Where were we in the last lesson? KNOCK ON DOOR This is some of the coursework you asked about.
Oh, and you left this in the staffroom.
Thank you, Mr Rowlands.
I'm glad you enjoyed it.
PUPILS SNIGGER Nice shirt, by the way.
PUPILS LAUGH Alright.
WINDOW SMASHES Aaargh! SCHOOL BELL Thank you.
Have you got a minute? No.
Caretaker.
Window.
Give this to your parents to sign and bring it back to Miss Haddon.
Thanks, Miss.
Branwen? Miss Edwards is looking for a babysitter tonight.
Are you free? Yes, cool.
Thank you.
No problem.
Thanks for that magazine.
It gave me a great idea for my class.
Glad to be of assistance.
But you need to be careful.
You don't want people suspecting that you're gay! SHE WOLF WHISTLES What a mess! Did you see who was responsible? No, sorry.
Mr Lloyd claims that he saw Jac Lewis with the ball.
I was teaching at the time.
I understand you want to protect the boy I didn't see anything.
SCHOOL BELL Can you remind me by when you wanted the coursework? Didn't you note it? I'll have to let you know.
Hi.
See you at seven.
Mr Elis? Mr Elis? Miss Matthews, are you aware of the school policy on mobile phones? Of course.
Please implement the policy .
.
instead of encouraging 7H to use their phones in class.
I heard it was a shambles.
I don't expect a prospective headmistress to break basic rules.
No, I'm sorry.
You've disappointed me.
I'm worried about Sioned Evans, 7H.
She's being bullied.
I was bullied at school because of my stammer.
I thought if I shared my experience with her, she would feel better.
That's the last thing you should do.
Not that you listen to any of my advice.
Are you going home? Think about me waiting for the buses whilst you're sipping your G&T.
Sioned? Can I have a word, please? HOME / WORK HOME Friday.
Hallelujah! Dan met the Head earlier.
Do you think he's behind the class swap? I've had a tough day, Simon.
Would he do that to me? He hasn't come home, so he's obviously avoiding me.
It all points to one thing.
Jealousy! He can't accept that the Head chose me as the school's Green Officer.
He gave me that look when the Head announced it.
He's just found out that Jac Lewis is his half-brother.
Jac Lewis 7C? His brother? What do you mean? His their mother turned up at school today.
He hasn't taken it well.
He hasn't seen her in twelve years.
I'm his best friend.
I know the story.
CAR HORN For once on a Friday, I'd like to be home in time for The Weakest Link.
What are you doing? Oh you and Mrs Lewis? Have you ever thought about joining MI5? Hey! Smart, Dan.
How long have you been seeing her? I'm sure the bus drivers arrive late on purpose.
Who? He's having a fling with one of the mothers.
It's bound to end in tears, but good luck to them.
Dan! Dan! Come in.
No.
It's a nice area.
Yes.
It's nicer than the dump where Dad and I lived after you left.
The last thing I wanted was to lose touch with you.
You left to play happy families with another man.
I didn't want to know you.
You have no idea.
I won't be teaching Jac any more .
.
so we don't have to see each other again, alright? Go back to your loving husband! He died.
I happened to be there.
That's why he told me and not you.
Can I watch this, please? Simon I suppose he told you that he'd asked to swap classes too.
No that was my suggestion.
He can't teach his half-brother.
Where are you going? To the pub.
It was two years ago.
He was ill for a while.
Jac took it very badly.
What have I done now? Nothing, sweetheart.
There's no point hiding it.
You know that older brother I'm always talking about Him? Where are you going? By the way, my father died too.
And you didn't even come to the funeral.
# I have principles that resemble the archangels # My work diary isn't under all of that stuff, is it? KNOCK ON DOOR Hiya! I've been locked out.
Can I use your shower? Yes, come in.
No probs.
Hiya, Aneurin.

Oh fine.
Lights out at 9.
30pm.
Help yourself to anything in the kitchen, the biscuits are We'll be OK.
Enjoy your date.
Oh no, um It isn't a date.
It's a work meeting about work.
I'd better not be late.
Bye! Have I got Alzheimer's or what? That looks interesting.
These are geometric puzzles.
The idea is that the children connect them.
If they can calculate the number of blocks in the construction .
.
and the respective colours Are those yours? Oh, yes.
I can tell you're a swimmer.
You look so fit.
I haven't been for two days.
I've pulled a muscle.
I must have slept awkwardly.
I studied Sports Massage at college.
Where does it hurt? Here? I can't find it, and it's Friday night.
Come on, Becs.
Let's leave Aneurin in peace.
What's going on? He's got an amazing body oh! I thought you Silly me, I had them all along.
See you later.
What? Are you busy? Yes.

Nadine? Hiya.
How do you know Miss Harries's address? I followed her home.
I wasn't lying about my homework, Miss.
Dad threw it in the bin.
Can I leave it with you so that I know it's safe? Did you paint those? You can talk to Miss Harries as much as you like on Monday.
Please don't come to her house again.
Wait, Nadine.
Did you do these? Yes, Miss.
These are too good for the bin.
Of course you can leave them here.
Thank you.
Right goodbye, Nadine.

Shut up, Emyr bach.
Have you calmed down yet? That depends.
Are there any more secrets you and Dan want to share with me? Stop it.
I came to meet my boyfriend for a drink after a tough week .
.
but if you can't be civil Don't.
I'm glad you're here.
What can I get you? A pint, please.
Well? How do I look? I thought you didn't fancy him.
I don't.
So, why the? You're in no position to give advice.
When was your last date? Ouch! I hope you didn't phone Megan Adams's father.
No.
Well, don't, because it's not a good idea.
Getting a straight man to do my garden? Your gay day is seriously on the blink.
He fancies you.
And Mr Saatchi fancies you.
It'll work in my favour if I want an exhibition and I might have fun too.
Life is too short to refuse such an offer.
Behave, and if you can't do that, then enjoy yourself.

We've been to five bars.
Four this is the fifth.
No, the sixth.
It's my round.
Ems? I'm fine, thanks.
This one's having a fling with one of the parents.
Imagine that! Do you always use oils? Only for these ones.
I tried to add depth with the brush, then pulled the colour back It was an exciting way of working.
I can see the energy in them.
There's an element of Gauguin in there too.
I heard this morning that an artist is not exhibiting at the gallery .
.
so I have a free slot next month.
Next month? Yes.
I think we should get to know one another a little bit better.
I'd like to know what kind of person you are before the exhibition.
Wha what do you mean? Thanks for a lovely evening.
My assistant will call you when there's another free slot.
It'll probably be next year.
James? Sorry if I've made you feel uncomfortable.
You haven't.
So what's the next step? Come in for coffee, if you like.
I was talking about the Media Studies course.

Yes.
