 The first day of term and there are a few changes, and more than a few new faces. Is that a caterpillar above Banksie s lip? Annette s moved to Milton Keynes, the Headmaster has vanished, Zammo s fallen out with Jackie, and Ziggy arrives from Liverpool. A frog in a crisp packet, courtesy of Imelda Davis, causes chaos in assembly. Trevor and Vince hide what they assume to be Ziggy s bag, but it s Ant Jones s who immediately falls into Mr. Bronson s disfavour by arriving late. Caretaker Mr. Griffiths catches Danny Kendall smoking, but Danny decides he d be better off going home. Mrs. McClusky finds out that the Headmaster has been killed in a car crash. Outside, Ziggy is playing with a spider, explaining that he got his nickname from the Bowie record "Spiders From Mars". Imelda arrives and promptly stamps on it, but she s rewarded by a push into the fountain.
