 Clarke is beset by troubles on his paper round: difficult letterboxes, tall tower blocks, vicious looking dogs... Gonch is up early, preparing a new homework service on his home computer. Trevor, can of lager in one hand, seems disturbed by the idea that Georgina might have a new boyfriend. It amuses Ziggy to note Calley and Robbie are arguing as predicted. Mr.Bronson s car breaks down near school and is given a push start by Mauler and his gang. Clarke finds his bicycle guarded by an Alsatian so distracts it with something from the bins. He s so busy getting away, that he leaves the newspaper bag behind. Tegs s reverie on the sofa is disturbed by furious rattling of the front door. He escapes to the upstairs - but he finds it is his brother, who s on the run. When Justine arrives, Tegs tells his brother that he had planned to stay off school, but he s told he must go. When Georgina catches up with her friends, she tells them that Trevor has been following her around, and chatting her up - much to her disgust. Danny Kendall seems to be the first into the school - but to Mr. Bronson s astonishment, he s the first to leave as well!
