Jamie's Dream School- The cracks start to show

You can take the concept out of school but you can't the pupils, leant Jamie as the kids continued to run riot in the Dream School.

Even acting head John cracked under the pressue, telling Jamie 'I can't sleep. Over the last two days I've been more stressed than over the last two years in my job. If I'd of known it would have been like this I wouldn't have done it.'
'The harder it is the greater reward', reminded Jamie. 'But I will cry with you at the end of the four weeks if it's (outcome) not perfect.'


The kids' disruptive behaviour also caused the new teachers- Professor Mary Beard, Latin, and former Poet laureate Sir Andrew Motion, to nearly pack the job in after one lesson. Fortunately for Jamie, they stuck it out, with Sir Michael making his poetry class optional, kicking the rowdy pupils out of his lesson, and Prof Mary asking the teens how they thought she could control their bad behaviour, which helped get them on side.

The Dream School also lost one pupil, LeToya, who agonised over whether to continue with the scheme. After deciding not to quit, her one-year-old daughter came down with chicken pox. LeToya was crushed.

Next week Cherie Blair and Daley Thompson try their hand at teaching, plus the students observe a real-life surgical procedure, beats reading a text book!

Boy troubles at The Model Agency

There were tears and tantrums on last night's show as drama queen John returned to the agency following his hissy fit last week.

The commercial booker took a meeting with MD John, owner Carole's brother, to discuss why he walked out mid-shift. John said it was becaue Carole told him he had an attitude problem and shouted at him for ordering the wrong flowers. 'You're over-sensitive', says Chris. 'You need to cut Carole some slack, she's working from 9am-1am the following morning and is tired and grumpy.' John replied, 'Carole didn't congratulate me on meeting my sales target'. This is despite Chris having had taken him for a meal to say well done.
John and Annette.

Chris tells him to get it together and John returns to work. Carole even takes him out for a drink, nothing like special treatment to wind everyone else up, and calm is restored, well as well as it could be. That is until a discussion about a charity ball in Liverpool turns sour and John tried to steal the limelight once again.

'I'm being undermined. I'm being outed and no-one helps me', cries John. Chris replied, 'Get a grip and listen. It's not about you, it's about Annette (the other commercial booker) stop crying.' He tells him it's not the end of the world, but clearly it is for John.

As Head of Men's Division Christophe says- life at the model agency is like a soap opera. It beats Eastenders anyday.

The Model Agency-How do you solve a problem like John

You'd think John was a successful highly paid the way he acted on last night's The Model Agency.

The money booker, who featured in last week's episode, got in a strop and walked out of the office claiming boss Carole treats him like shit. The drama unfolded as Carole told him he couldn't leave 15 minutes early to see a fashion show, and the following morning told him to 'Turn your frown upside down.' 'It was only a joke', Carole says as she reads an e-mail John has sent explaining why he walked out mid-shift.

According to the agency owner, it's common for John to have a hussy fit during the eight days of show week. 'It's called left-out-itius' she says. Despite this, time after time she welcomes John back with open arms. Anyone would have thought John had it cushy starting work at 9am and leaving at 5.15pm, whereas the show bookers often work till the early hours of the morning during fashion week. If John was hoping for some sympathy he's gone about it the wrong way.

Next week, John finds out his fate, but will he stay or go?
