We interrupt your regular programme with some sad news.
Local Santa Nathan Ormerod is stuck in bed with the flu.
Get well soon, Nathan.
Have you got your ticket for tonight?
Dad, I told you, I've got work.
You deserve a break, love. I don't need a break.
You won't be saying that next year when it's walltowall lectures.
You heard back from art school yet, John?
Uh, no, not yet, Mr Shepherd.
Is that normal? Dad!
Sorry!
I'm sure it'll be fine.
Hey, why don't you bring Anna to the Christmas show tonight?
I'm working!
So is he. John, you tell him.
She can't. She's got to pay off that ticket.
John!
What ticket?
You said tell him. I didn't say tell him that!
What ticket?
It's nothing. Anna!
I'll tell you about it later.
What ticket, Anna?
Just...
I'm going on a trip, all right?
When? Where?
Dad... I hope you checked
when university starts because... I'm not going to uni!
Wha...
I'm going to travel first.
Just for a year, or maybe... Don't be so stupid!
See you inside.
Thanks for the lift, Mr Shepherd.
You know this is going to hold you back. Where are you gonna go?
Australia first. The ticket's open.
Oh, well, that's all right if it's open, eh?
Think of all the beautiful places you could get mugged or killed.
Stop trying to run my life. I'm not a little girl any more.
Well, stop acting like one!
If your mother could see you now...
I can't wait to get away from you. Anna, I...
You know I can't afford to fly out to my parents' place.
I just thought it would be nice to spend Christmas as a couple.
No. Just forget it.
Wait!
Sorry!
Don't! I got it.
Do you need a hand with these, Steph? It's fine.
I've got the car.
I guess we're all having a good day.
You all right?
Never seen Tony like that before.
You think I'm doing the right thing, yeah?
Yeah, it's great.
Anyway...
PE is calling.
Yeah!
More snowflakes. That picture's not straight.
Drawing pin missing, bottom lefthand corner. Miss North!
Dropped the homeless story. It's editorial. You can't do that.
It's a school blog, Miss North, not The Times.
Council sets our budgets, so we play nice.
Hopefully get some new computers.
I'm going to go to Mr Gill.
Be my guest! Cool!
Come January, this school is mine.
Oh! And as I told you before...
Park your vehicle on school property and it becomes school property.
Give!
Withdraw your tongues!
Anna?
Jesus, Chris!
Can you check this?
It's my showreel for Miss Wright. I'm not sure if it's ready yet.
Oh, no, I need to pee.
I don't have enough time to pee, do I?
See you at lunch.
Have a good morning.
Sure it will be the same as always.
