More trials for Brian…
Deputy head Phil continues to pile the pressure on Brian, ordering him to do a rewrite of the school Nativity play when the dress rehearsal leaves him unimpressed. Brian agrees, but suddenly collapses with exhaustion.
Cathy’s seriously worried, and when her partner is later diagnosed with heart palpitations from popping caffeine pills, she urges him to report his sly superior to headteacher Melinda. Brian does just that, and Phil apologises for his behaviour. But just as Brian thinks things are on the up, Phil and Melinda spring an Ofsted-style inspection on him without warning. Has he just made things ten times worse?
