The first episode of the second series focused on two Year 8 pupils - old-head-on-young-shoulders Amy, who had recently been diagnosed with Tourette syndrome and was kindly helped by student manager Mr Wilson, and cheeky Riley, whose disruptive behaviour was excellently dealt with by assistant headteacher Mrs Delaney-Hudson.
