00:00Amazing. I like the performance and Felicity Tower.
00:02Oh, it sounds splendid. I bet you adored it.
00:05I know.
00:06What are you all doing?
00:08Josephine, meet Lady Jane Mallory of Mallory Towers.
00:12Curtsy. Quick. It's good luck.
00:14Look, the monitor list is up.
00:18What's a monitor?
00:19We each pair up with a fifth former.
00:21The idea is we help them out in return they pass on their wisdom.
00:24That's how it's always been done.
00:26I've hit the jackpots. Daryl Rivers.
00:28Daryl? Isn't that your sister?
00:31She's marvellous.
00:32She's the best.
00:33You're so lucky.
00:34Everybody loves my sister.
00:36Must be hard act to follow.
00:41Never thought of it that way.
00:43Clarissa Carter.
00:46You're my monitor, aren't you?
00:47I have to get changed.
00:49Priorities, Clarissa.
00:51I need your help. Now.
00:53Come along, then.
01:04Don't forget to pair the socks.
01:06I know you honourables are not used to doing things for yourselves.
01:09Mary Lou, could you just prepare a demonstration?
01:11Because I'm absolutely shattered after that long journey.
01:14I do my own tidying at home.
01:16Well, I've been pairing socks since forever.
01:19Mary Lou, have you heard the news?
01:21Daryl's games captain.
01:24And guess who's head of blower school?
01:27Is it you, Sally?
01:29It is. I can tell by your grins.
01:31No.
01:32It's you.
01:35Aren't you pleased?
01:36Yes, but do you think I can do it?
01:38Of course you can.
01:40Congratulations.
01:44Oh, Gwen.
01:45Well done.
01:46Oh, Gwen.
01:48Well done.
02:06Are those your pyjamas?
02:09They're so smooth.
02:11Silk.
02:12Wear them if you like.
02:23Tidy up, quickly, quick. Matron's coming.
02:26Who's Matron?
02:27The school nurse.
02:28You're acting like she's a monster.
02:30She thinks she's a monster.
02:31She acts as fierce as anything.
02:33But underneath it all, she's a pussycat.
02:35Is she?
02:37Your last matron may have been a pussycat,
02:40but I can assure you, I am not.
02:44Our last matron?
02:45I was trying to tell you.
02:47Matron had to leave her family emergency,
02:49so now we've got...
02:50You can call me Matron Shipley.
02:56Why aren't you in uniform, young lady?
02:58Oh.
03:00Um...
03:01Sorry, Matron.
03:03And what's all this?
03:05Anyone's?
03:06Oh, those are my bags.
03:08Name?
03:09Josephine.
03:10But I prefer Jo.
03:11You can call me Jo.
03:12Daddy calls me Jojo.
03:13I do not use pet names.
03:15Oh.
03:16Remove the hat.
03:17I'd rather not.
03:18I said remove it.
03:25And your father should know,
03:26school rules are one trunk only.
03:30And not silk, but cotton pyjamas.
03:32Oh, but those are my bags.
03:33No.
03:35Repack what you need into one trunk.
03:39The other goes home tomorrow.
03:43Does truly nobody have silk?
03:47No?
03:49Oh, you poor souls.
03:50Form an orderly queue
03:51with health certificates and pocket money.
03:56Name?
03:57Ruth Batten.
03:58Here's my health certificate.
03:59Name?
04:00Constance Batten.
04:04Are you sisters?
04:05I'm Ruth's twin sister.
04:06We have to hand pocket money in.
04:08It's the rules.
04:09Daddy says rules are made to be broken.
04:12He wants us to have fun.
04:14I'm not sure Mason Shipley agrees.
04:17Who cares what she thinks?
04:20Not me.
04:22I can't hear you, Liz.
04:23What do you do here to treat yourselves?
04:27The tradition is an in-night feast.
04:30Clarissa Castle.
04:31We'll go to the shops tomorrow.
04:32Susan Penner.
04:33Pocket money.
04:34Yes, Miss.
04:35I'm sure that we could go.
04:37Miss Jones.
04:39Pocket money?
04:41Oh.
04:42Daddy doesn't do pocket money.
04:43He insists I manage my savings myself.
04:47Oh, does he?
04:48Mm-hmm.
04:53I'm sorry.
04:54I'm sorry.
04:55I'm sorry.
04:56I'm sorry.
04:57I'm sorry.
04:58I'm sorry.
04:59I'm sorry.
05:00I'm sorry.
05:01I'm sorry.
05:02I'm sorry.
05:03I'm sorry.
05:04I'm sorry.
05:05I'm sorry.
