Episode 3 (2x3)

Air date: Jan 09, 1979

In the playground Andrew steps in to stop Doyle picking on Justin. Alan reminisces to Justin over their old days in One Alpha (which is strange because Alan wasn't even in that class!). Baxter leads a staff delegation to Llewellyn to complain about the changes he has introduced. It is announced Ann has left. Penny is keen to replace her on the School Council. Antoni falls asleep in Miss Summers' class. A staff meeting is called to discuss their reaction to Llewellyns ideas. There is to be a musical produced later in the term:"Joseph And His Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat". Justin is keen to play the piano in it. He and Andrew practice (with Andrew singing) in a music room. Sutcliffe walks past and is impressed. He encourages both to audition. Summers talks to Antoni and it soon becomes clear he is often falling asleep due to late nights at home. He is kept up, often until at late as 1am, doing the accounts and invoices for his father's restuarant. Another staff meeting is called an the pupils are given the rest of the day off. Justin goes to Andrew's house before the audition. Andrew tells Justin that he is afraid his parents might split up. Summers turns up at Antoni's to speak with his parents. Mr Karamonopolis is very hostile initially ("You leave my family to me lady!") but comes round, saying that he will have to learn to do the invoices himself and that Antoni must be in bed by 9pm from now on. The next day Andrew is confirmed in the lead role of Joseph for the musical.
