We need to find Jennifer Lore,
who's this executive producer.
She works in one of five major studios.
l need somebody to go on line to find
out where she is. l want her contacted.
We need to find out exactly what
St Bernadette's are doing in their show.
Yes, Mr Shakespeare.
We can see what their show is like,
and then we can just top it.
We can just beat them. lf their show's
big, we can make ours bigger.
We're going to do a warm-up
because it's important
before we do any strenuous activity
that we warm our bodies
and our minds up.
Minds are equally important
to warm up as our bodies.
- Hi, Mr Poppy.
- Hi.
What we're gonna do is a gentle
warm-up. You can join us, if you like.
l've actually got some music. A little
dance. We're just going to limber up.
Copy what l do. And you, Mr Maddens.
((JACKSON 5:
"l Want You Back")(Ooh, ooh, oh, ooh, oh
(Let me tell you now
- (Ooh, ooh
- (Ooh, ooh
(When l had you to myself
l didn't want you around
(Those pretty faces always
Make you stand out in a crowd
(But someone picked you
From the bunch
(One glance was all it took
(Now it's much too late for me
To take a second look
(Oh, baby, give me one more chance
(Won't you please let me
Back in your heart?
- (Oh, darling, l was blind to let you go
- (Let you go, baby
- (But now since l see you in his arms
- (l want you back
(Oh, l do now...
Spies!
Mr Maddens, it's the freak.
Cry God for Harry,
England and St George!
Come on, let's go!
Fall back!
Ha-ha! Break time!
l just wanted to say, if you needed any
help with any of the singing or dancing...
- Step shuffle, change shuffle...
- Excuse me.
Gordon!
- Gordon! What are you doing?
- This is ridiculous!
- Why have you come to the school?
- We came here on a field trip...
Excuse me. l don't think...no.
Mr Maddens!
Bundle!
Some of the children have described to
me being encouraged to have a rumble.
- Now, what on earth does that mean?
- lt was more of a bundle.
Bundle or rumble, l do not care.
You've dragged this school
and your trousers through the mire.
lf it wasn't
for this whole Hollywood thing,
you'd be off these premises
without a job and without a reference.
Get out, go on, back to your classrooms.
Tuck your shirt in.
Sorry.
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
l know a lot of you have heard
all about the Hollywood connection
so l'll hand you over
to Mr Maddens, Paul.
There was talk about, er...relocating.
- There's a lot of talk about Hollywood.
l don't want any of us
to run away with ourselves
and start dreaming about Hollywood
mansions or swimming pools
when that is plainly a fantasy.
Yeah, but if the people from Hollywood
see something brilliant in your child,
they'll maybe take them over there.
l'm worried about the religious aspect
of this being lost.
lt's going to be absolutely 100 percent
in line with the teaching of the Church.
- A normal nativity.
- But also we've got the death slide.
How much are you paying?
There will be no financial benefit.
lf you're making a film, there's got to be
a fee. Nobody does a film for nothing.
- lt's Hollywood. They've got the money.
- And he's good, he deserves to be paid.
About a million pounds,
l think l've heard.
We gonna have to get agents.
- Alfie can't have contacts.
- Don't cast him, then.
- My daughter is very beautiful.
- Will my daughter Becky be in?
- lt would be my daughter.
- l think she's a Mary, isn't she?
- (Chatter)
- OK, folks.
Hi, Jennifer, this is Paul. Paul Maddens.
Just wondering if you could
possibly give me a call back.
l have something to ask you,
if that's all right.
lf you could give me a... Love you.
What are you...?
Don't say that!
- Why did you tell me to say that?
- lt's a nice ending.
lt's not, it's a totally inappropriate
ending. What are you talking about?
- Why are you in my house?
- l'm just trying to help, Mr Maddens.
Well, it's not helping! l haven't
told her l loved her for five years!
Get out! What are you doing?
l think he's doing it for the best because
if it does happen, it's gonna be brilliant.
- lt's not happening, is it?
- But it might happen.
- How?
- Well...
- How's it gonna happen?
Desmond? Desmond?
You were going to be
on break duty today. Can you...?
Yeah, l was just chatting
with Miss Rye.
Yes, you shouldn't be.
Can you get out, please?
- Paul?
- Yeah?
Why did you lie?
About what?
About America, about Hollywood,
all being a complete load of rubbish.
- You've lied about all this.
- You did lie.
- l'm in shock. l'm in shock.
- l'm really sorry.
- What are you gonna do?
- l don't know.
- You've got to do something.
- Maybe you've got a great idea!
We've got to get Jennifer to somehow
return your calls or speak to you.
Yes.
We're gonna film what we've done
and film some of the rehearsals, OK?
- The best bits.
- Of these children?
- Yes!
- Four seconds! There are no best bits.
- Oh!
- Come on, Paul.
Just get something, get whatever you
can, the best thing you can on the DVD.
Film it for the DVD, send the DVD.
- Stop saying DVD.
- lt's got to be worth a try.
Well, l'm not doing the DVD.
(She's the brightest star
l've ever seen
(lt's like we're living
ln some kind of dream
(Why do l feel overcome
With hope and joy?
(Cos she's shining down her light
(And she's gonna be my girl
And me her boy (
((Piano music over dialogue)
Whoo!
OK, er...
OK, nice and loud. ln here, in here. Go!
(Sniffs)
(l want you with me, Christmas...
'Hello, Miss Jennifer, you don't know me
but l've heard a lot about you
and the children have got
something they want to tell you.
'Mr Maddens is having
a hard time without you.
'Mr Maddens loves you so much
so can you please come back?'
'Please, please come back
and mend Mr Maddens' heart.'
'Mr Maddens
is heartbroken without you.'
'Without you Mr Maddens is lost.'
'Mr Maddens is miserable
without you, Jennifer.'
'So...so please, please come,
'and come and see the show
while you're here,
'and everything will be good.'
(MC) The Lord Mayor welcomes
Mrs Bevan and Mr Maddens.
- Hello. Paul Maddens.
- Nice to meet you.
- How do you do?
- Nice to see you again, Mrs Bevan.
You look marvellous.
This old thing,
it comes out at Christmas time.
- You look like a Christmas cracker.
- Thank you very much.
Let's hope you get pulled
before the end of the night.
- Can l take you for a drink, Mrs Bevan?
- Mm.
- You'd like a glass of champagne.
- l'd love another one.
lt's very nice, very cooling.
- Patrick Burns.
- Hello.
- Coventry Evening Telegraph.
- l know who you are, yeah.
- Excited?
- About?
- Hollywood?
- Oh, yeah, that old thing. No.
l've got contacts there,
had them for years. Pulling in a favour.
Yeah, yeah, from a young lady.
Jennifer, isn't it? Jennifer?
Yeah. You know, sorry, l know how this
