In season 2 opener, Alfie turns up for the new term with a terrible hair-cut - thanks to his father - and learns that, for the school's annual swimming gala, there is to be a synchronized diving contest. The lure of a cash bet with Miss Pickwell encourages Alfie to enter his class - with a trip to Nando's as a bribe - but they are pretty poor and the scary lifeguard Joy only serves to put them off.
