And now I know where to go
I'm not following a crowd
But there's so many faces staring at me
I'm not going with the flow
I've got to wave goodbye and say hello
To unfamiliar circumstances
I'm gonna start believing in myself
I'm gonna start believing in myself
It's up to me and no-one else
I'm feeling
..this could be the start of something
I can feel my heart is jumping
Want to walk But can't stop running
Oooh I can't stop running
Good to be a part of something
Once upon a time was nothing
This could be the start of something
This could be the start of something good
Life's a ***, life's a mess
Trying to find your way, it's not so easy
It's not the way it looks on TV
I'm fully clothed but still undressed
Like I'm walking on the highest wire
Without a safety net below me
Ain't another place I'd rather be
Listen to the voice inside of me that's shouting:
This could be the start of something
I can feel my heart is jumping
Want to walk but can't stop running
Ooh I can't stop running
Good to be a part of something
Once upon a time was nothing
This could be the start of something
This could be the start of something good
Good to be where I belong
It's just so good to belo-o-o-o-ong
Maybe this time is the one Time is the one
Maybe this time is the one time
I've been waiting for too long
Something
This could be the start of something
I can feel my heart is jumping
Want to walk but can't stop running
Ooh I can't stop running
Good to be a part of something
Once upon a time was nothing
This could be the start of something
This could be the start of something good

Here, let me.
Ooh.
First day and the women are already falling at my feet.
I erbet you greased the floor up especially.
Hey, I'm Danny. I'm here cos
it's the only thing I can do.
The only thing
that makes me feel alive.
We're not looking for luvvies
and West End Wendys.
We want grafters. All-rounders.
I want to fill arenas.
I want my name up there
with the greats:
Mariah, Celine, Madonna
..Claudine.
Being here will be the hardest,
but the most rewarding
two years of your lives.
I'm BB and
I wanna make something of my life.
I'm fed up of feeling like
the only way is down
..so I'm here, looking up.
I want you to think long and hard
about why you came
to Britannia High.
My name's Jez and I'm a performer.
And I've been hooked on it for,
like, 16 years now.
And, I don't know, I guess I need
the audience's constant reassurance
that, hey, I'm OK.
I think, potentially
..you are the best talent
in Britain.
I'm, like, Lola.
I wanna be, like, the dance
equivalent of a supermodel.
I wanna bea superdancer.
Don't be a wannabe,
be who you want to be.
Hi.
I'm Lauren Louise Loretta Waters.
Big it up for the letter L.
Anyway, erm,
for the past six months,
I've been touring West Hampshire
with the Dancing Queens.
We're an ABBA tribute band.
And um, in the future,
I just want to prove that
there's more to me than Agnetha.
Thank you very much.
Beware Of The Dog
This is lovely.
Keep it going.
Very nice from some of you.
Very good. I'm impressed - and
you won't often hear me say that.
Keep it going. Come up here.
We're just gonna take it
from the top, yeah?
I saw her at a wedding.
What was she? An usher?
Amazing voice,
even if she was singing
with a Swedish accent.
Strip all that away,
she could sound like a young Sheryl.
Baker?
Crowe.
And you let her in
without so much as an audition?
What's this business about?
Unemployment.
Breaks.
I gave her one.
Do the same for me, Anna.
'This is Britannia High FM'
Follow me, gorgeous.
I'm gonna be in pain tomorrow.
I'm in pain now.
I must be really unfit.
I don't know about that.
Oh, no, you are. I can see.
Danny from Bristol,
Claudine from London. BB from?
Manchester.
And Lauren from?
Somewhere with no designer shops.
New Forest.
'..our top 10 tips for the
fresh faced newcomers this term.'
This radio station seems to know
a lot about what goes on here.
It's the SCHOOL radio.
Oh.
So, er, what's this all about, then?
First years' open mic spot
tonight in the students common room
where we all freestyle.
Wicked.
Cool.
Random.
I'm gonna do the routine
I did for my audition.
What are you gonna do?
Dazzle us with Dancing Queen?
I'm not sure.
What did you do for your audition?
Do that.
No, she can't,
because you didn't audition.
Did you, Laura?
It's Lauren.
Didn't audition? I worked
my backside off to be here.
Tell me about it.
So how did you get in, then?
Nugent heard her singing
at a wedding.
Oh, well, she must be good, then.
You obviously
didn't see her dancing.
Check it, check it
Check it
Honey's only sweet as the bee
Who only ever takes what he needs
And deserts need the sun and the rain
Cos pleasure only comes after pain
Fuel can take a minute to light
A wonderland you can build in a night
Two can burn a bridge in a day
When one of us is walking away,away
Ooh, sorry.
- I'm sorry, I didn't mean to -
- You know,
I think you'll go far
in the business, Laura.
- It's Lauren, actually.
- Well, "Lauren, actually",
maybe one day,
you could be the lead in that.
·¢½º(°ÙÀϻ㾵ä¸è¾ç)
Oh, Laura.
Claudette.
Claudine.
I know.
This house is so mad,
you're gonna love it.
But we've got all the best rooms,
sorry.
Yeah, you're in the cupboard
under the stairs, mate.
Who do you think she is, Danny,
Harry Potter?
You have a glorious room
at the top of the house.
I'm Doris Troy. I'm your landlady.
Lovely to meet you, Mrs Troy.
If you'll please excuse me,
I need to continue with my portrait.
Who is it?
Britney Spears.
This room's not too bad.
It's sobijou.
You know, I could take you shopping,
if you like.
There's so many great places
round here.
I could totally transform you.
Er, thanks, but no thanks.
I'm sorry
if I'vebeen a bit off with you.
It's stressful for all of us,
you know, the first day, and that.
Really?
Mm-hm.
You seem soconfident.
Believe me, sweetie,
I'm a good actress.
I'm glad I'm not the only one
that's finding it hard.
I nearly walked out a few times.
I understand, babes.
It must be harder for you
than anybody.
I mean, the rest of us, we've worked
towards a place here for years.
And, because we had to audition
..we earned it.
Well, um, obviously Mr Nugent
thinks I've got what it takes.
And I'm sure he's right.
It's a good thing you get chance to
show the rest of us what you can do
at the open mic spot tonight.
What is it you're doing again?
I'm not sure yet.
I can't wait to see. I know it's
going to be total fantabulosity.
Anyhow, I'll leave you to it.
I have to go and get ready.
I'd lend you something amazing
to wear
butI don't think
we're the same size.
Like, like this
Walk this way
Talk this way
Walk this way, talk this way
Walk this way
Talk this way
Walk this way, talk this way
Like this
Like this
Yeah! Yeah, Jez!
Hello, Mum.
Yeah, I'm fine. How are you?
How are the dogs?
Yeah, I'm having a great time.
Everyone's really nice and
Yeah, well,
obviously, it's hard work.
No, I'm fine. Don't worry about me.
I'll call you soon.
I love you. Bye.
So I hear last night
went really well.
Yeah, it was wicked.
For those of us who made it.
I wasn't well, sorry.
Right, well, it's a great way
to kick-start the term.
Now, from hereon in,
I want you guys to think teamwork.
I say this as, a week on Friday,
something very special is happening.
You've got a date with Cameron Diaz?
No, that's Thursday.
A week on Friday,
you'll be having your first Showcase
evening of the new term.
These are regular, important events,
where we get to show
an invited audience exactly what
you first years have been up to.
No pressure, then (!)
So, BB, you might wanna invest
in some tights.
Do I look like a girl?
I've travelled extensively. You'll
be surprised by the girls I've met.
More importantly,
this Showcase evening is
your first assessment of the year.
In the past, some haven't made it
further than that Friday evening,
so I cannot stress how vital it is
for you to work hard
and for you to work as a team.
I can't wait to see my family.
I'm filling up. I miss them so much.
I've not seen them in
..two whole days.
And Garth'll probably bring
his grandfather.
You know who his grandfather is?
Simon Cowell.
Can you believe that?
Simon Cowell's Garth's grandfather?
Oh, sorry, godfather.
Look at his pants.
Do they share the same stylist,
or what?
So you're telling me that Simon
Cowell is coming to see us perform?
I know when he clocks me,
he's so gonna ditch that girlfriend.
Hey, turn the volume down, please,
yeah?
All right, let's go back
to the routine from the hinge.
Five, six, seven, and
Who's That Girl?
Lauren, you need to work a lot
harder if you want to keep up, OK?
Good girls are pretty, like all the time
I'm just pretty some of the time
Good girls are happy
And satisfied
All right. How are you?
Just a little under pressure.
I just can't deal with the rules
I can't take the pressure
Just this, please.
You'll waste away.
Three, four,
five, six, seven, eight.
One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight One
This is the lift. It's quite hard.
So that's what you'll be doing
at the Showcase evening, OK?
Now, I want you all in pairs.
So, Claudine, go with BB, please.
Lola, take Jez. Danny, Lauren.
Jokes, Jessica.
Darren, Naomi. Amber with Garth.
Three, four, five, six,
seven, eight.
One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight.
One and jump.
And Jez and jump.
Go, Jokes. Come on, Lauren.
And lift.
Now, that's just what I wanted (!)
Sorry.
Need another two for 17.
Where's Lauren?
They're potatoes, Lauren.
Potatoes. Come on.
Come on, Lauren.
Pick it up a bit, will you?
Not there.
Come on, Lauren.
Spillage!
Danny, what do you want?
Are you all right?
I'm on a break.
I've only got five minutes.
Is that your boyfriend, Lauren?
Shut up, Pedro,
he's my dance partner.
Oh, is that what
they're calling it now?
Are you stalking me?
I just thought, you know, you might
be in need of a bit of a lift.
Do you wanna go out some time?
Time to get back, Lauren.
OK, Pedro.
Back to it, lads.
Sorry, I've got to go.
..whereas Stanislavski's approach
to method acting was that,
in order to be credible on stage,
you had to live the part
Currently,
Lauren Waters is demonstrating
some very interesting method acting
for the part of Sleeping Beauty.
Who's gonna kiss her?
I will.
Oh, please!
Sorry, chef.
..Mr Nugent.
Yeah.
Good work, Lauren, very good. Now
A thousand years ago,
in a galaxy far, far away,
a director took a punt on me.
Cast me as the lead
in this new musical.
I was young, naive,
thin - well, thinner.
I thought I could take on anything.
I wasn't ready.
As rehearsals wore on,
it became abundantly clear,
I was terrible.
Every day, I went in, determined
this was gonna be the day
I was gonna throw in the towel.
Every time I went to speak,
the words just died in my mouth.
Then, one day, he fired me.
Recast me with Michael Ball.
Whatever happened to him, eh (?)
Oh, he's really famous.
No, that was a joke.
I just wish I'd had the nerve
to hand in my notice
before being humiliated.
Are you gonna quit
or are you gonna carry on?
Lauren, come on. You're late for
the recording session.
There is no shortcut to a dream
But I am not afraid
I'll take it all the way
I'm gonna give more than it takes
Work harder than the rest
Till I'm the very best
Oh, you think you've got it all figured out
You think you're so damn cool, What's that all about?
But I got mine, just watch this space
If you just wait
Hold up a mirror, you should see yourself
You think you're so much better than everybody else
But I got time, just watch this space
If you just wait
There's something deep inside my heart
Burns with a thousand fires
So relentless, my desire
You see a future shine so bright
Beyond the finish line
I'm gonna make it mine Ohh
You think you got it all figured out
You think you're so damn special, What's that all about?
But I've got mine, yeah, watch this space
And you just wait
Hold up a mirror, you should see yourself
You think that you won't stumble like everybody else
But I got time, just watch this space
If you just wait
You bring your best I'll be one step ahead
No tears will fall You'll be falling instead
Oh, you just wait
I'm not afraid and I'm not backing down
The shock of your life is what's coming around
You just wait
I'm not gonna quit.
OK.
Just chill.
Relax.
Chill-ax.
Look, I may as well just face facts.
I'm so out of here on Friday.
Look, why don't we call it a day:
go and have a laugh?
Oh, no, thank you.
I love London. It's so random,
you can just lose yourself.
Yeah, literally.
Don't you think it's a buzz?
It's scary. There's too many people.
Yeah. And no-one cares.
Look.
What are you doing?
Danny.
You know, all these faces
are never gonna see us again.
Well, until
we've got our names up in lights.
Yes. So you can do what you wanna do.
Be who you wanna be.
Now, that'sthat's Eros
..the god of love.
Nearly.
I'm never going to get it right.
You will. I bet you any money.
Why did you -
What made you
You first.
What made you wanna perform?
I saw this - I saw this film crew
once, at the end of our street.
I sat there watching for hours.
Just totally glued.
Everyone else watching just
just thought it was boring.
But, to me, it was
..pure adrenaline.
Turning,
speed
and action.
I just thought, you know,
"I'll have some of that."
I felt like that
when I went to see S Club 7.
I went to see them in concert
when I was about eight.
Watching them on stage,
everyone was so happy.
The audience
were just so full of joy.
I thought: "That's what I wanna do.
I wanna make people happy."
What am I like?
Wicked.
What are you doing? Come on.
You wanna make people happy?
Let's make 'em happy.
Danny.
Woo!
Are you looking at that poster,
is it?
Oh, no, no. Course not.
So, you - are you gonna go for it?
Dunno. Are you?
Dunno.
NEW YOUNG PONY CLUB
The Get Go
In a minute, Rihanna,
but first, for all the culturally
ambitious amongst you,
let me tell you about the auditions
for dancers for a pop music video.
Coming up after the break,
we've got T-Pain
with his swag new joint,
which is fresh to death, innit.
(What?)
I can't believe, on Friday, I'm
actually gonna meet Simon Cowell.
What am I gonna wear?
I'm guessing
not a yashmak and burka.
Look who it isn't.
Hi, Simon, it's Garth.
Oh, my God. He's talking to him.
It's just a bit -
Garth!
Hi, Simon.
It's Lola here.
I'm a class mate of Garth's.
Isn't he just too cool for school?
He's so working a high-waist look.
Listen, loving your work
in X Factor, sweetie.
Really great format.
Really great teeth.
Sorry? Hello?
Simon?
He hung up,
after swearing at me.
Lola, my godfather
isn't Simon Cowell.
He's not?
He's Simon Callow.
Who?
The Shakespearean actor.
I still don't see
why we should have to.
Oh, you're such a rebel, BB.
You might get off on wearing tights
but where I come from
I'd get my head kicked in.
Ballet's like
the basis of all forms of dance.
And, well, you're into dance, right?
That's right.
Every dance move
kind of stems from a ballet move.
In theory, know they ballet,
know thy dance.
Thy?!
Careful, you'll get me talking
in iambic pentameters next.
OK, I take all the ballet stuff
and that, yeah.
But tightsthey're tight, man.
I think it's called streamlining.
Guys.
Oh, are you all right?
Call me crazy,
but I've just had an idea.
Right, you don't need scripts.
Just talk.
What about?
Anything.
Be yourselves. Talk about something
funny that happened to you today.
Something weird,
something wonderful. Just talk.
You're live on air.
'This is Britannia High FM.'
I seen this woman on the bus
this morning, right,
and I thought she was pregnant -
Oh, dear.
So I stand up and I let her sit down
and go, "When's it due?"
Oh, and she wasn't pregnant?
She wasn't pregnant.
Things not to say No.1. Like,
"What have you done to your hair?
Oh. That's what
it's supposed to be like."
"Nice outfit. There's not
many people out there with
Jabba the Hutt as a style icon."
Or, on your first date,
"This restaurant stinks of garlic.
Oh, no, that's you, isn't it?"
Hi, babe. Yeah, it starts at eight.
Your name's on the guest list.
Hang on.
Hi, sweetie, how's you?
Of course
there's an after show party.
You'd think I'd get involved
in something without a party
at the end of it?
OK. Cool. Yeah.
I'll see you, then. Bye.
I'm so nervous.
Try some deep breathing.
I'm too shallow for deep breathing.
You know, if you're not feeling
up to it, we can cut the lift.
No, it's OK. I'm doing it.
Good. We need a laugh.
Oh, drop dead, Claudine.
Go on, L.
Go, Lauren.
Hey.
Well, you told her.
That's not me, Danny.
I hate what this place is making me.
It's not this place, it's you.
You're pushing yourself too hard.
Look, you're shaking.
Stage fright. I always get it.
Even when I was Agnetha,
I only had to hear the intro
to Waterloo and I was gone.
Look, forget about the audience.
And definitely forget about Claudine
having a PhD in bitchiness.
This week's about -
it's about teamwork.
Andwe're a team.
You and me.
This is
your Act One beginners' call.
My God! I can see my mum.
She's so showing me up
in last season's Uggs.
That's so professional, Lola (!)
So, who have you got coming, then?
Not really my brother's thing.
What about you?
Well, my dad said he'd come,
but he's always letting me down.
At least you've got one.
Starting positions!
She's gonna do it?
Of course she's gonna do it.
You're mad.
She's gonna make us look well bad.
Spot the girl who didn't audition.
Maybe she's right.
Maybe we should just ditch it.
I don't wanna mess it up
for everyone.
Why don't I just quit
while I'm behind?
Look, Lauren, you've got more talent
than the rest of them put together.
I know you can do it.
Ooh, sorry, ladies and gentlemen.
Good evening. Welcome to
the first Showcase of the new term.
It's nice to see so many friends and
family here to show your support.
The students will be getting
assessed on tonight's performance,
so they're a wee bit nervous.
Without further ado, please sit
back, relax and enjoy the show.
When I did first impart
my love to you,
I freely told you that
all the love I had ran in my veins.
I was a gentleman.
Rating myself at nothing, you shall
see how much a braggart I was.
Have all his ventures failed?
You're right. I take it all back.
She's amazing.
Oh, my God, that was so cool.
I could kiss you all.
But you won't.
You want a bet, mate?
That was wicked.
Are you OK?
Lauren!
Is she all right?
Lauren. Lauren, come on. Wake up.
She was fine
Lauren, wake up.
Someone do something.
What were you thinking?
What?
I run a performing arts school,
not a boot camp.
I don't belong here.
Where are you gonna go, then?
Hmm? Home?
Back to your ABBA tribute band?
No.
Oh, I don't know.
Listen to me.
For one moment out there,
you believed in yourself.
Look what happened.
You are exceptionally talented.
You just don't realise it.
"It's lack of faith that makes
people afraid of meeting challenges.
And I believe in myself."
Do you know who said that?
Muhammad Ali.
He was a winner, wasn't he?
Knew what he was talking about.
You have faith.
Believe in yourself.
I do.
I feel well bad.
She has a conscience and a heart -
wonders will never cease (!)
I didn't want her to die.
Oh, you're such a drama queen,
Claudine.
We're all drama queens here,
darling.
What am I like?
Babe, are you OK?
Yeah, I'm fine.
I just overdid it a bit.
You were wicked tonight, L.
Oh, shut up. I wasn't that good.
BB's right. You were great, babe.
Even if you didn't audition.
Why the face?
I can be nice when I wanna be.
Which isn't very often,
so make the most of it.
Anyway, where's this party?
Up on the roof.
Well, what are we waiting for?
Hey, come here.
Thank you.
For what?
Well, you were the only one
who believed in me.
I fancy you like mad.
I do.
Really?
Come on.
It's the same old line and the same old chat
You can't do this, you can't do that
I don't wanna hear it any more
I see that look that's in your eye
You judge by the cover, not what's inside
I don't wanna see it any more
Hope is coming r-o-o-o-o-ound
I don't wanna let go I don't wanna let go
I'm not letting myself down
I don't wanna let go-o-o I don't wanna let go
I've come too far to turn around
I don't wanna let go-o-o
Cos this is someone else's dream
I don't wanna let go-o-o
I don't wanna say no-o-o
Till you've seen the best of me
Till you've seen the best of me
Nah-nah-nah-nah-nah Till you've seen the best of me
I don't wanna let go I don't wanna let go
I'm not letting myself down
I don't wanna let go-o-o
I've come too far to turn around
I don't wanna let go-o-o
Cos this is someone else's dream
I don't wanna let go
I don't wanna say no till you've seen the best of me
ϼ¯Ô¤¸æ
Danny, will you pay attention?
I'm not struggling.
Nicola and Kimberley from Girls
Aloud will be joining us next week.
That F stands for fail.
If I were you, I'd have a long,
hard think about my future here.
What is going on with you?
What? Is that all you can say?
It's not your experience.
It's mine.
Wake up! Wake up! Wake up and
..live your life
Wake up! Wake up! Be strong
It'll be all right
When you feel it and you know it
Wanna shout it, wanna show it
When you feel it and you know it
Wanna shout it, wanna show it
Wake up! Wake up!
Wake up and live your life!
