Episode 6 SCENE: A House Party
Episode 3 Scene Eleven - ANSWERPHONE
Episode 2, Scene Eleven - Billy Connolly’s Office
Pilot Script, Scene 6: Mr Headman's Office

Episode 2 was found to be slightly over-running, and so the following scene was never recorded. It is a nice reversal of the 'responsible tutor/care-free student' dynamic, as Tim is mocked for his lack of experimentation with drugs. This scene was also peripheral to the overall plot of the episode, and was in danger of milking the Billy Connolly joke. Hopefully it will still raise a smile though.

Episode 2, Scene Eleven - Billy Connolly’s Office

FX: DOOR KNOCK

BILLY CONNOLLY: Come in.

FX: DOOR OPENING

TIM: Hello there.

BILLY CONNOLLY: Ah, you must be young Tim, am I right?

TIM: Yes sir.

BILLY CONNOLLY: Don’t call me fucking sir! I hate it! D’you want a cup of Tickety-Boo tea?

TIM: Yes please s- Billy.

FX: POURING TEA

BILLY CONNOLLY: Right. Now, what can I help you with young man?

TIM: Thank you. (SLURPS TEA) Right, I don’t mean to disturb you when you’re clearly busy. I just wanted to ask you a few questions about the coursework.

BILLY CONNOLLY: Aye. Right you are, fire ahead.

TIM: It’s just - I’m not terribly comfortable with the notion of taking drugs.

BILLY CONNOLLY: I thought that might be it. I spoke to the Dean, and he cleared it with me. He said it was absolutely fine. The official word of the University is that as long as you know where it’s coming from, and that nothing fucking weird’s going in it, that’s fine. You’re at University for God’s sake. Experiment a bit Take a few risks.

TIM: Well, I understand what you’re saying s- Billy. It’s just I’m not sure that that’s the responsible stance for a University to take.

I mean, drugs are illegal. And they can have extremely damaging, sometimes fatal consequences. They’re simply not worth the small period of pleasure, given the risks and the terrible lows they can cause.

BILLY CONNOLLY: I thought that might be your approach. That’s why I went to the trouble of lacing your tea with LSD.

TIM: What!?

BILLY CONNOLLY: Good day to you Tim. Now I have plenty to get on with, so if you could make your way out please.

TIM: But, but you can’t do that!

BILLY CONNOLLY: I just did, now get out of my office before you start tripping. I don’t want you chucking up in my waste paper bin.
