Now living with eco couple Jerry and Yanny in a squat, Gemma riles Yanny by eating a burger in the place and fearing her a bad influence on Tar she tells Gemma to go back home.

This is the 2nd part of the acclaimed and somewhat dark children's drama Junk, which was broadcast in January 1999. Making a name for Jemima Rooper and Daniel Newman as the teenage lovers, it also features Lee Ingleby and Susan Penhaligon, who made her name in Bouquet of Barbed Wire in 1976.

(A note: I did upload Episode 3, but it was removed. I have contacted Dailymotion to find out what the infringement was and hopefully I can find out so the video can be re-edited and uploaded again minus it's infringement. Please note that even if I this persists, I will be uploading the series in full on my other channel on OK at the weekend, but hopefully Dailymotion will allow an edited version to be uploaded on here. Fingers crossed for fans who requested this).
