Double Decker Driving School - Episode Guide

In the first episode, a new batch of recruits are starting their six-week course at one of London's largest double decker driving schools. On her first day out on the open road Claire has a close encounter on a pedestrian crossing and nearly has a head-on collision. With the help of her instructor Alagarsamy Gopal, Claire needs to dig deep to summon the strength and the courage to stay on the course, and pursue her goal.

This time, single mum Claire Carter is approaching the end of the course. She nearly quit after an eventful first week, which involved a close call on a zebra crossing and near head-on collision.

Claire's pressing on, determined to show her teenage children that anything is possible. But if she is to be granted her all-important driving test she has to prove she can control not only her ten-tonne vehicle, but her nerves as well.

This time, Manuel Daniel is three weeks into the course and struggling. He's failed a series of crucial safety exams and his driving isn't up to the high standard expected.

For Manuel becoming a bus driver will mean the world; he will finally be able to afford to move out of his parents' house and rent a place of his own, with a room for his bus-loving son.

This time, newly-married Rodney Willis is preparing for his test. Despite having driven hundreds of cars in his previous job as a car salesman, nothing can prepare Rodney for taking control of a ten-tonne double decker - particularly when he finds himself surrounded with hundreds of marching protesters in the middle of Trafalgar Square.

Now he's ready for his test, but forgetting to indicate at a roundabout sees Rodney lose his cool. A face to face meeting with training manager Geoff White results in Rodney being told to buck up his ideas, or face being thrown off the course.

This time, former traffic warden Alvin de Guzman is a father of three who came to the UK from the Philippines and faces a battle to get to grips with the English language as well as the double-decker buses he is learning to drive.

This time, Michelle Sandy is recovering from a first drive which resulted in everyone on board being thrown to the floor. Having given up a 25-year career at a supermarket chain to start on the training course, Michelle can't afford to fail.
