Trailer

Trisha reassures Simon that she doesn't mind calling for him. On their way into school they meet Jessica Samuels of the Student Action Group (SAG). SAG wants to abolish school uniform. Penny visits G1 to discuss the first year's proposal for the next school council meeting. She wants to propose a bookshop on behalf of first year but G1 is adamant it wants a tuck shop, even although Penny says the older years will vote against the proposal and it will be rejected. Gary warns Trisha that he doesn't like her seeing other boys. Penny's mother suggests a joint 'book AND tuck' shop. G1 approve of this. The school council passes the idea in principle, although Doyle's father is vehnemently against the idea. Fund raising via a jumble sale will have to be carried out however, to get the project going. The issue of uniform is adjourned to the next meeting, much to the disgust of Jessica who is waiting outside. Tucker and Doyle challenge each other over who can collect more jumble for the sale. Tucker and co take what they think is a discarded old sofa from outside a 'junk shop'. It is actually an antique 'Chaise Long', and the owner comes to the school and the boys have to carry it back. Doyle has collected more jumble than Tucker but the bet was rigged so that Tucker couldn't lose. At the jumble sale Tucker sells Justin's mother's expensive coat for 5p. He thought it was jumble!
