How have I never noticed
you say "settee" before?

PAUL: What should I say, then? "Couch"?

ALLY: "Couch?" No, twat.
Sofa. It's a sofa.

- AVA: Is Giraffe alive?
- PAUL: Not really.

- AVA: Is Giraffe dead?
- ALLY: Come on.

Let's not be late
for parents' evening.

Only people in their slippers
are late for parents' evening.

- PAUL: Oh, bugger.
- ALLY: What?

- Dad's had a fall.
- Oh, no.

A bad one? Is he okay?

He says he's all right.

Just bruises and I'm guessing
that's "sprained ankle."

It's auto-corrected
to "spirit animal."

He's at that age
where you don't fall over.

You "have a fall."

No one ever says
Lionel Messi's had a fall.

"He's onside. He's in the box.
But, oh, no, look.

Lionel's had a fall."

- Oi!
- PAUL: Watch it.

Mind the road.
Oh, man.

I am not ready to be looking
after Mum and Dad, you know?

I mean, I don't mind
this sort of parenting thing,

but one where you're actuallywiping
your own parents' asses,

that's a different ball game.

Luke, careful. Sorry. Sorry.

He thinks he's... oh, I can't
think of a famous scooterer.

I don't think there are any.

So will we be seeing Luke
in the Year Three production?

- Um...
- Um, well, not onstage,

behind-the-scenes stuff,

Aw. Oh, well. Never mind.
Maybe next year.

Come on.

f*ck them.

Do you know that
she's having an affair?

to school every morning.

- Yeah.

Yes. Sorry.

You were saying earlier on
about Luke's reading...

- TEACHER: Yes.
- That it was average.

For his age, yes.

Absolutely where he should be.

PAUL: Right.
'Cause I thought, um...

I mean, he's not a genius
or anything.

- Wow.

I didn't know

That's a big word

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

You're actually reading it;

from when I read it to you.

No, I'm good at reading

Yes, you are, clever sausage.

Just, you did ask.

Right. Chapter four.

I mean, obviously
I'm not saying he's gifted,

but he's not ungifted,

and if you're saying
he's average...

Luke's around aboutwhere
we would expect him to be

for this part of Key Stage 1.

- His reading is bang on
target.-ALLY: Great.

On target is great.

It's great.
Luke loves reading.

It's just books, books,
books, books, books.

Aw. That's good to hear.
[laughs]

Sometimes I say to him,"Can
you just put the book down

- and play with the bloody iPad?"
- Hmm.

I don't. I don't.
That was just a joke.

We don't swear at home
or anywhere, actually.

Sorry. Uh...

just to...
I'm sorry,

I don't want to bang on
relentlessly about this...

I promise you...
But are there any

above-average readers
in Luke's class?

W-we have young learnerswith
a wide range of abilities.

A significant percentage
of our pupils

have a first language
other than English.

- Right.
- TEACHER: So everyone works

towards a target
that suits their ability.

PAUL: And that works?

I mean, in the same classroom,

no one suffers, the gifted or...

We tend not to say
"gifted" these days.

-Right.-But no one is at a disadvantage

- in a mixed ability classroom.
- Mm.

In fact,
all the children tend to...

- Be average.
- Thrive.

ALLY: Such a lovely vibe

And I presume
we'll be seeing Ava

in the Park Grove
reception class in September.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
She'll be here.

PAUL: Look, I'm just trying
to make sure...

Jesus, Paul.
Jesus Christ up a tree.

Can't you see how
out of order you've been?

LUKE: Are you two arguing?

PAUL: No, it's a loud,
tense discussion.

Go get ready for your bath.
I'm sorry.

I thought we discussed putting
Ava's name down ages ago.

- Bollocks did we.
- Look, if she can get

a reception place
at West Street school...

But we looked at that school
for Luke,

and it was massively
oversubscribed.

No, there were
less four-year-olds

in their catchment this year,

so Ava has a real chance
of getting in.

And with the sibling policy...

What, then Luke could be
first in the queue

when a place becomes free?

It's the golden ticket, mate.

Ofsted says West Street
is outstanding.

It stands out.

Park Grove is adequate.

Now, Luke and Ava

Not yet.
Don't worry about it.

[Paul sighs]

Let's not pressure them.

It's only primary school.

They should be
enjoying themselves.

Yeah, I know.

But if they don't pass
their SATs, right,

they don't get into
the good secondary.

Then they don't get
into the good university,

so they can't get a decent job.

They can't afford to rent,
let alone buy a flat.

They can't settle down.
They can't have kids.

Ava is only four.

How have we got
to her having kids already?

Luke is happy where he is.

Plus, it's 13 seconds away.

It would take longer to teleport

to plug the teleporter in

a bit jealous with Michael

being on the scene again.

He's used to being
the only granddad.

This young man's
an excellent reader.

PAUL: Yeah. Good, isn't he?

Ally, I looked up those guys
I thought might have a room.

- And?
- And one is in a graveyard.

And the other
is in an open prison.

Right.
So do you have a plan B?

I would only be with you guys...

a week, three tops,

until I can find a room
or a hostel.

Well, you can't stay
in a hostel.

They're for backpackers
and drunks.

Yeah, ooh, maybe don't take
that thought any further.

Oh. We had
the council chummy round.

Ah?

JIM: Turns out,
we're not eligible

for council funding for a home

because we've got
a bit of savings

and a few bob
in a private pension.

So we've decided on Dignitas.

Dignitas?

When we become
an intolerable burden,

we'll head off to Dignitas.

Or if there's a cheaper one
by then, Easy Death.

Or if Lidl gets into the
market, we'll go with them.

Hmm.

But we might not realize, Paul.

We might be all demented,

so we'll leave it to you.

When you think
we've become a burden,

just say "Dignitas"

or maybe "Big D," code,

and we'll book our tickets.

They were a make
of peanuts, Big D.

So you basically appointed me
as your executioner?

- They were around in the '70s.
- Mm-hmm.

JIM: They were the best
peanutsout there, I thought.

Like Tudor Crisps
were the bests crisps.

- Yeah.
- We don't want to be a drain.

You won't be,

so you don't need to call
Dignitas, all right?

We'll... we'll work
something out.

-Yes.-So much salt on a Tudor Crisp.

Man, they had weight, you know?

My mouth's bloody watering now.

[chuckles awkwardly]
Ah.

Right?

Are these seats taken?

Oh, no. Please.

Thanks.

So what's your Josh's role
in the play?

He's playing Robin.

- Hood?
- Yeah.

- Yeah.
- Wow.

Did you have to make
the costume?

Oh, the children and I
did it together, actually.

Aw.

It helped take their mind
off their father.

You've heard, I take it?

Yeah, that Greg is now
living elsewhere?

- We're divorcing.
- ALLY: Oh.

I'm sorry.
That is a tough business.

It's complicated, who owns what.

We were in the middle of
buyingproperty on West Street,

and that's not happening now.

- That's a shame.
- Oh, that's a huge, sad shame.

- Can't afford it.
- Mm.

It was for my mother
so that she could be nearer

- as she gets older.
- Your mother?

Well, she's not getting
any younger.

Uh, your mum was gonna live
in West Street on her own?

Thinking about it,

it would've been a waste
of such a big house.

- [chuckles]
- Anyway, Katie Marshall's

just had
an offer accepted on it.

That's her there.

Her son's a merry man.

She wants her twins to get
into West Street reception

in September so that Jamescan
get in on a sibling policy.

Oh, I see. Smart move.

- It's an outstanding school.
- I've heard.

Oh, yeah.

Oh.

Pulling hair is wrong, mate.

I mean, all v*olence is wrong,
but at least punching's a sport.

- Is it?
- Yes, boxing.

Boxing's in the Olympics.
Hair pulling isn't.

- It would be funny if it
was.-It really would be.

How exactly would you
describe your brand?

Testing! Ah, ah, ooh, ooh, ooh.

I feel like my brand is
everything you loved about
the classic movies

of our childhood,
like The Sandlot,

Billy Madison, Apocalypse
Now, Happy Gilmore, Clueless.

-[crowd cheering]
-MC: We got Lil Dicky
in the house!

But at the same time,
I feel like my brand
is not rooted in the past.

It's actually
very forward-thinking
and, like, futuristic.

I don't know, man.

I look like the back
of a playing card.

-Everything is just
getting really weird.
