Scully's probation officer tries to find something that he's good at, the school caretaker goes on the warpath when he finds his bike vandalised, and the science teacher helps the lads with a 5-a-side match.

"It's in the rules. It's not safe. It's more than not safe. It's dangerous. And if you fall down and break your leg, don't come running to me, because I won't be there."

Scully's horrified when he's given his role in the pantomime, the excuses start when the trial at Liverpool turns out to be much sooner than expected, and preparations for a night out get a bit messy.

"Pictured today leaving Heathrow Airport for their honeymoon in Hawaii, Francis Scully of England and Liverpool fame, and his beautiful bride, Joanna. When asked, Joanna said, 'We first fell in love when I saw Francis playing Fairy Godmother in Cinderella. He just waved his magic wand at me, and that was that'."

Mad Dog has a big decision to make when Isaiah sees an opportunity to get his man, reality hit Skully when he sees Kenny Dalglish in the flesh, and Mooey gets excited about going to the Shetlands to see the donkeys.

"Absolutely, Mam. Totally, utterly and completely stupid. You see, the problem was, I thought it was foolproof, but the others proved me wrong."
