In the second episode of Waterloo Road. Sorry The Full Monty, the series.
Dave (Mark Addy) befriends Dean 'Twiglet' Blakefield. He is gobby, small for his size, got ADHD, is relentlessly bullied, his mother is ill, has to use a food bank and also tried to top himself. I'm surprised his nickname not Lucky.
Of course it might look a bit icky that the school caretaker takes an interest in a little lad. Especially one where the caretaker is married to the headmistress.
She has her own problems, a flooded bathroom, leaky ceilings, firing the music teacher and having an affair with the deputy head. The latter was not a surprise.
The strange thing is. It is called the Full Monty, the original team are not even close knit friends of 25 years. In the cafe they are socially distanced. Whereas Dave and Gaz are distant.
