00:30Jean, can't you get rid of her?
00:40My house doesn't feel my own anymore with her wandering about the place.
00:44Oh, she's not that bad. She's just lonely.
00:47She's invading our privacy, for heaven's sake.
00:50She's penetrated the inner sanctum.
00:52Don't be so ridiculous.
00:56Morning. I've made you some tea.
00:59I hope you're very kind.
01:00Oh, come in, Audrey.
01:03Oh, that's very kind of you.
01:08Isn't it, David?
01:10Yes, very kind.
01:12I thought Earl Grey would be nice.
01:14Delightful.
01:16Excuse me for a moment while I nip to the loo.
01:19Keep Audrey amused, dear.
01:20Keep me amused, eh, David?
01:27Maybe I should keep her side of the bedroom until she gets back.
01:31Can we just have this tea, please?
01:32By the way, there's crumpets on offer.
01:35Excuse me.
01:36My appetite isn't quite what it was.
01:37Hello, love.
01:46How are you feeling?
01:48A bit tired.
01:49I didn't sleep very well.
01:51You're worrying about Beth?
01:52Most other things, yeah.
01:54Well, you'll get over it.
01:55You're young.
01:56You've got your whole life ahead of you.
01:58I was that right.
01:59I'm about to go and see some solicitor about custody, my kid.
02:03I don't feel very young.
02:04I feel about 50.
02:06I know it's all a bit unsettling.
02:08It is for us all.
02:09But we've got to remember why we're doing it for Josh.
02:12So we can have a say in how he's brought up.
02:15Michael, he's a part of us.
02:16We can never forget that.
02:18I promise you, this will all be worthwhile.
02:21You'll see.
02:22Why don't you go and freshen up, get a shower?
02:24I'll do you some breakfast after I finish these.
02:27You bet she's?
02:28Well, you want to look smart going to the solicitors.
02:30Yeah, but I'm only going for a chat, Mum.
02:32You want to make the right impression.
02:34If we go all the way, we might end up in court.
02:45How long is your new breakfast?
02:47I'm not hungry, love.
02:48Sorry.
02:49Can I have one of your sausages?
02:51Sure.
02:52Do you want the other one?
02:53No, well, thanks.
02:54You have it.
02:54I can't eat two.
02:56So I'll leave it cold, Simba.
02:58Well, I wouldn't bother.
02:59I don't think we'll be seeing him again.
03:02Why?
03:03What's up?
03:04You and him have fallen out again, have you?
03:08Well, we, um...
03:10I mean, I...
03:11No, it's all right.
03:13Isn't it time for school?
03:14I've got ages yet.
03:15Rachel, it's cool.
03:17But I haven't finished...
03:18Look, take it with you.
03:19God, I'm sick of being treated like a kid.
03:20You two never tell me anything.
03:22See you later.
03:24Bye, love.
03:29Are you all right?
03:31Well, what do you think?
03:34Well, he might come back.
03:36Not this time.
03:39This business with Maguire's finished us.
03:43It's all my fault.
03:43I've driven some by the way.
03:51Jean, surely there must be something I can help you with in the florists?
03:55We're very quiet at this time of year.
03:58Well, there must be some paperwork that needs catching up with.
04:01Sorry.
04:02Dee Dee and I did it all yesterday.
04:05Oh, damn.
04:06You really have got ants in your pants, haven't you?
04:09What's wrong with relaxing and staying here and keeping Audrey company?
04:13I just feel like getting out of the house.
04:16I feel a bit restless, you know, post-Christmas blues and all that.
04:20Well, if you're so bored, why don't you get your radio set out again?
04:23It's ages since you've used it.
04:25It's in Audrey's bedroom, for goodness sake.
04:27I can't go in there.
04:28Nonsense.
04:29Audrey won't mind having you in her room, will you, Audrey?
04:33Of course not.
04:34It'll be my pleasure.
04:35Be my guest.
04:37No, no, no.
04:37It's just that I thought I might crank up my radio set.
04:41Oh, how fascinating.
04:43Can I watch?
04:44There you are, David.
04:46An able and willing assistant.
04:49Bye.
04:51Mike.
04:54Here's your trousers.
04:56You haven't showered yet.
04:57I'm not going, Mum.
05:00What?
05:01I'm not going to see the solicitor.
05:03But I've made the appointment.
05:05Do you want me to ring to see if they'll see you another time?
05:07Don't bother.
05:08I'm not going to see any solicitors.
05:10End of story.
05:10But you have to.
05:12I don't have to do anything.
05:13Well, how are we going to get Josh?
05:15How are we going to help bring him up?
05:16Mum, don't you understand?
05:17I don't want to help bring him up.
05:19I'm sorry.
05:20You're his dad.
05:21I'm not Josh's dad.
05:23Yes, you are.
05:24The tests proved it.
05:25Those tests prove nothing.
05:28Josh's real dad is the fellow who changes his nappies,
05:31who stays up with him all night when he's sick.
05:34I haven't done any of those things for him, Mum,
05:36and I don't want to.
05:38He's your son, Michael.
05:40My grandson.
05:41As far as I'm concerned,
05:43Josh is my dad's kid and always has been.
05:46My dad and Bev can give him everything he needs,
05:48a proper upbringing.
05:49I can't give him anything.
05:50I'm too young.
05:51But I'm here to help you.
05:53We can bring him up together.
05:54Well, I want to start my career.
05:55I want to get a job.
05:57And what if I have to move away?
05:58What then?
05:59Josh won't know whether he's coming or going,
06:01and that's not fair on him,
06:02and it's not fair on me.
06:03So just let me be Uncle Mike
06:05and let my dad and Bev bring him up, OK?
06:07I'm Josh's grandmother.
06:09I care about him.
06:10If you really cared about him,
06:11you wouldn't have started all this.
06:15Well, this has got nothing to do with me or Josh, has it?
06:17It's about you.
06:20What is it?
06:22And where are you getting back at me dad?
06:24Or is it because of our Tony?
06:27Please, Michael.
06:29Tony is gone, Mum.
06:30You can't replace him.
06:32Just let him rest in peace,
06:34and you get on with your own life
06:35and let everybody else get on with theirs.
06:37And what life have I got?
06:38What have I got left?
06:40Mum, will you just leave it, please?
06:41Michael, you and Josh are all I've got.
06:44Mum, Mum, I can't handle this.
06:45You can't live your life through me.
06:47It's not fair.
06:49What are you doing now?
06:51I'm getting out of this place before I go off me head.
06:54I'm going to go and stay with that Jack.
06:55Got any plans for today?
07:08I'll see.
07:14What's up?
07:14Nothing.
07:16Just thought you might be starting to look for somewhere for you and Becca to stay.
07:21You are?
07:23Well, can't expect to stay here forever.
07:26Why don't you just come out and say it, Rosie. You don't want us here. It's obvious.
07:29Hey, I didn't say that.
07:31No, you didn't have to. It's written all over your face.
07:35Look, I don't want to argue, but can't you see how difficult it is, you being here?
07:41I mean, you and our Carl are getting divorced.
07:44Yeah, and remember who it was that wanted out of this marriage, your Carl, not me.
07:50Hey, I'm not looking to blame anyone.
07:54But you did turn up out of the blue. No warning or nothing.
07:59I mean, we didn't hear anything from you over Christmas.
08:02It's just thrown everyone.
08:05I mean, us having to look after Rebecca and that while you swan off.
08:10I can't win with you, look.
08:12You what?
08:14First you moan about never seeing Becca, then you moan about having to babysit for her.
08:18Hey, don't be daft. We love seeing her.
08:20Oh, so it's just me you can't stand the sight of?
08:23You're gonna hate Rebecca. What's with all the shouting?
08:25Ask your mum mad at this place.
08:27Sarah, what about Becca?
08:29Get your precious mum to look after her.
08:31I'm sorry, Mum.
08:32I'm really sorry.
08:33Do you want to scream first or shall I?
08:35I think I'll take count to ten.
08:37My head's done in.
08:38Snap.
08:39Tell me about it.
08:40I feel like I've just gone ten rounds with Frankie.
08:41I'm sorry, Mum.
08:42I'm sorry, Mum.
08:43I'm really sorry.
08:44I'm sorry, Mum.
08:45I'm sorry, Mum.
08:46I'm sorry, Mum.
08:47I'm sorry, Mum.
08:48I'm sorry, Mum.
08:49I'm sorry, Mum.
08:50I'm sorry, Mum.
08:51I'm sorry, Mum.
08:52I'm sorry.
08:53I'm sorry.
08:54I'm sorry, Mum.
08:55I'm sorry.
08:56I'm sorry.
08:57I'm sorry, Mum.
08:58I'm sorry.
08:59Do you wanna scream first or shall I?
09:00I think I'll take count to ten.
09:02My head's done in.
09:04Snap.
09:05Tell me about it.
09:08I feel like I've just gone ten rounds with Frank Bruno.
09:11Why can't people stop sticking a nose in me life?
09:14Probably because they haven't got lives of their own.
09:16They haven't got anything better to do.
09:18If it wasn't some skins, it's going to get bladdered or something.
09:20Yeah, I think I'll come with you.
09:23Where are you off?
09:25Don't know.
09:26Well, if you fancy walking around the shops, I can stitch to a can of limo.
09:29Yeah, why not?
09:31Anything to get away from this, please?
09:35Golf 2 Lima Romeo Romeo.
09:39Calling Lima Alpha One Delta Foxtrot Quebec.
09:44Come in.
09:48I repeat, this is Golf 2 Lima Romeo Romeo.
09:53Are you receiving me?
09:56Romeo, Romeo, are you receiving me?
10:00Good grief, Audrey.
10:00You've no right to sneak up on a man like that.
10:02Nobody's transmitting.
10:03I'm sorry, Major, but you look so fetching with your headset on.
10:08Anyway, failed to make contact, I'm afraid.
10:12I think I'll call it a day.
10:14Abandoned ship, so to speak.
10:15There's no need for that.
10:17What?
10:17There's plenty of room in the captain's cabin for two.
10:22First mate's gone ashore.
10:24Won't be back for ages.
10:25Alone at last.
10:27Cast a drift together, so to speak.
10:30Sorry, no can do.
10:32Absolutely refuse to rock the boat any further for fear of capsizing.
10:36But there's no need for the first mate to find out.
10:39It'll be our secret.
10:41I think you should find another boat to sail in.
10:44I'm afraid you've outstayed your welcome on our little cabin cruiser.
10:47The first mate doesn't think so.
10:49But the first mate doesn't...
10:51Oh, my God, what am I talking like this for?
10:53Look, Audrey.
10:54Anyway, Jean doesn't know what's happened between you and I.
10:59And God help us if she finds out, because we'll both be sunk without trace.
11:03I mean, don't you feel any guilt at all about our brief dalliance?
11:08Not at all, and neither should you.
11:11I mean, a man of your sea-worthiness shouldn't have any trouble satisfying two of the crew.
11:18I beg your pardon?
11:19More than happy to stay aboard, sir.
11:22More than happy to share you with the first mate.
11:25My God, I am sunk.
11:29Where are you going?
11:30I'm getting the hell out of here.
11:32Deserting ship like a drowning rat, eh?
11:34Mayday.
11:43Bloody mayday.
11:57Right, here you go, Simbas.
11:59Crackers, jackies, fairy lights, the lust.
12:01Ah, nice one, sir, Jack.
12:02There's some half-price Christmas buttons out there.
12:05I've got one.
12:06Oh, everyone's gonna love you, you know, getting rid of all this old crazy stock.
12:09What's it all you need of?
12:10Well, it's a surprise for the jaw dashes, you know.
12:12I mean, you didn't have much of a Christmas with Rachel Gormiss,
12:14and so I just thought I'd give them a little treat.
12:15Oh, that's lovely.
12:17Oh, they'll be made up.
12:18Yeah, I hope so.
12:19I saw your crazy present the other day, you know, nearly bit my testimonials off.
12:22Oh, see my cracker.
12:23Yeah, lovely and cuddly, isn't he?
12:25Jimmy's idea of a brownie.
12:27Mind you, our whole Christmas was one surprise after another.
12:29It was splashing out on all sorts, you know.
12:30It's a fiver, love, thanks.
12:32Hi.
12:32Yeah, I don't know where to get the money from.
12:35Well, he's back working full-time for Barry, isn't he?
12:36Well, Barry doesn't pay him that well.
12:38He's his gopher, not his part, eh?
12:41You don't see he's on the rock again, do you, Simpas?
12:43Oh, no.
12:44I'm sure he's keeping his nose clean.
12:46Listen, then, would you have a quiet wait with him, you know,
12:49just to put my mind at rest, like...
12:51Yeah, no problem.
12:52Tom.
12:53Hello.
12:54Hiya.
12:54I won't come in, um...
12:56Have you got any man-sized tissues?
12:58Yeah, like me.
12:59Ah, I had a bit of an accident, I'm afraid.
13:01Ah, what's that?
13:02Oh, God, terrible smell.
13:05Yeah, someone's allowed their blasted dog to foul the footpath.
13:08Oh, dear.
13:09It's £1.20, look, please.
13:11All right.
13:12All over my brogues.
13:14I only buffed them up this morning.
13:15Oh, dear me.
13:16Well, you can rest assured I shall find the culprit,
13:18and when I do, I shall haul whoever it is
13:20and their beastly hound in front of the Residents Association,
13:23and I shall throw the book at them.
13:30So, where are you going to go?
13:32Well, Jackie's got a flat above the salon.
13:35Be a nice surprise for her when she gets back from work.
13:37Practically living there, anyway.
13:39How about you?
13:40Stay in port.
13:42You what?
13:43Well, shouldn't I?
13:45Well, I thought it was doing your head in staying there.
13:47It is, but...
13:48I've got nowhere else to go.
13:51So, are you going to be round for a while, then?
13:53Yeah.
13:54It's your right, I will.
13:56So.
13:57So, um...
13:58How do you fancy going on for the proper drink one night?
14:02Yeah.
14:03Great.
14:04Would love to.
14:07Oh, hello, David.
14:08Oh.
14:09Where's your shadow?
14:11Left her back at base.
14:13Fancy a breath of fresh air.
14:14All I got was this.
14:15Stood in some dumb mess.
14:17Better keep your distance.
14:18Oh, dear.
14:20Yes.
14:21On our path.
14:22Right outside the front door.
14:24I can't imagine what sort of person would allow their dog to perpetrate such an outrage.
14:28See you later.
14:30Hi-hi.
14:31What's that smell?
14:35I was hoping you might be able to tell me.
14:37Don't you mean, Mike?
14:38I take it this is your dog?
14:40Yeah.
14:41And before you say anything, I've got a licence.
14:43Okay.
14:43For your information, dog licences were abolished three years ago.
14:49Oh, where are they now?
14:50Well, in that case, I don't need one, do I?
14:52See ya.
14:53Just a minute.
14:53I was wondering if you and your companion here happened to be on the coast today.
15:00I might have been, what have I?
15:01Because one of our four-legged friends left a deposit right outside my front door.
15:06Oh, I see.
15:07So if you can't blame me for anything that goes wrong round, are you going to blame me dog from now on?
15:12Is that it?
15:13I was merely trying to eliminate your dog from my inquiries.
15:16Oh, were you?
15:17Well, I'll tell you what.
15:19Deputy dog.
15:19Why don't you just hang round until Crackery is ready to pay another little visit?
15:24Then you can compare samples.
15:26See if they come from the same dog.
15:29Come on, Cracks.
15:42Any sign of Sarah?
15:44Don't worry, she'll be back.
15:45Have you seen this?
15:48What's he doing?
15:49Hey, Sinbad.
15:51Didn't anyone tell you?
15:52Crimbo finished three weeks ago.
15:53Yeah, very funny.
15:54It's just a little surprise.
15:56Oh, aye.
15:57Not somebody's birthday or something, is it?
16:00Yeah, something like that.
16:01Aw, that's nice.
16:04Almost as nice as a surprise I've got lined up for our mail.
16:07You what?
16:08I've got the name of a good singles club from Sinbad.
16:10I'm going to try and get our mail to go Friday nights.
16:12No chance you'll bottle her.
16:14Yeah, well, see about that.
16:16Anyway, you'd have her.
16:18Hey, you.
16:18Who less of the leg?
16:20Hey, hey, Kurt.
16:21What's this?
16:22Blackpool Illuminations.
16:23All right, see, I've now just thought I'd brighten the place up.
16:25You know, it was a little treat for Mandy and the girls.
16:27Oh, aye, aye.
16:28I get it, yeah.
16:29Wankling your way in, are you?
16:30Trying to get your feet under the table.
16:31Keep them sweet.
16:32Yeah, well, why not?
16:33Seems to be working for you, doesn't it?
16:35How do you mean, like?
16:36Your Jackie told me you spent all kinds over Christmas.
16:39Yeah, well, you know what they say.
16:40If you've got it, flaunt it, eh?
16:41Well, don't you think you've been flaunting her a bit too much, mate?
16:43What are you going on about?
16:44She's worried.
16:45She's wondering where you're getting all the money from.
16:47You haven't said anything, have you?
16:48Oh, of course I haven't said anything.
16:50Good.
16:50I'm glad to hear you.
16:51So I take it you're still selling that crap?
16:54Yeah.
16:55To dickheads who don't know any better.
16:57Oh, Jimmy.
16:58Drugs to kids.
16:59To nobodies.
17:00Listen, I should know.
17:02I've been there.
17:03It's easy money, this.
17:05Listen, you don't know what some people would do for a hit.
17:08Do you know that?
17:09How do you think I got cracker?
17:10Eh?
17:11Somebody owed me.
17:12Couldn't pay.
17:13It's business.
17:14Supply and demand.
17:16Got it?
17:17Jimmy, you make me sick sometimes.
17:19Oh, do I?
17:20Hiya.
17:21What's all this?
17:23Nothing.
17:24I'll tell you inside.
17:26See ya.
17:27Have a nice time.
17:30Me?
17:32Done your business, good girl.
17:34Come on.
17:37Look, he's even got us Christmas presents.
17:39So bad you shouldn't have done all this.
17:41Ah, I should have.
17:42Got to get everything ready for when your mum comes home, haven't we?
17:44Right.
17:45Now, Rach, you go and set the table.
17:46You'll find some crackers and stuff in the box.
17:48Right.
17:49Brill, two Christmases.
17:50And Beth, you start putting the deckies back up.
17:52I'll give it and once I've finished the spuds.
17:53This is going to be cracker, this.
17:54This is going to be the best Christmas we never had.
18:00That's right.
18:01I need evaluation.
18:03As soon as possible.
18:05Thanks.
18:05Tomorrow I'll be fine.
18:10Hi, I'm home.
18:11Why are the lights on the tree?
18:16What's going on?
18:17It was my idea.
18:23Somehow.
18:24All right.
18:26I think I'll go and help Rachel upstairs.
18:34But what?
18:35I mean, why?
18:36Well, I couldn't just walk out on you, could I?
18:41But I thought...
18:43What?
18:45Leave you and the girls and all this?
18:46Nah, no way.
18:49You know how I feel about you.
18:50And that other business, what you did.
18:56Well, I've said all I'm going to say.
19:00So how about, er...
19:02We try and start again?
19:04Wipe your slate clean, as it were.
19:06Try and get back to some kind of normality.
19:08That's what this family needs.
19:11Normality?
19:13Christmas in the middle of January?
19:14Yeah, well, you know.
19:15Yeah, I know.
19:18It's great to have you back.
19:24Almost done.
19:25Oh, hello.
19:26Oh, just this to finish.
19:28Good.
19:30I thought it might make a pleasant change if we dined out this evening.
19:33I booked a table at Max's.
19:35Oh, how lovely.
19:36Eight o'clock for two.
19:37Two?
19:38Well, what about Audrey?
19:39What about her?
19:40Well, we can't just go out and leave her on her own.
19:42Why not, for heaven's sake?
19:44I'm sure she's more than capable of looking after herself.
19:46That is beside the point.
19:48As long as she's a guest in our house, we must treat her as such.
19:50Good grief, Jean.
19:54Does this mean that everything we do from now on, we do is a threesome?
19:58Well, as long as Audrey's in the house, yes, I suppose it does.
20:02Never mind.
20:03There's plenty of you to go round after all.
20:07So bad, they're brilliant.
20:09How did you know I wanted these?
20:10Because you've been nagging your mum non-stop about them for a year, that's why.
20:14Thanks.
20:14In fact, my sweatshirts really like them.
20:16Yeah, and Prince of the Watch is beautiful.
20:18Yeah, well, should help you to get to work on time.
20:20No more excuses for being late, eh?
20:21I just thought we could give you a bit guilty.
20:24Oh, don't be daft.
20:25You give me the best presents I could hope for.
20:27You lot, that'll do me.
20:29It's really nice to have you back here.
20:32Oh, well, there's one more thing.
20:35Erm, I had a few bob left over,
20:37so I went to the travel agents and booked us a little holiday.
20:40A week in Ireland, big horror.
20:42Oh, Sinbad.
20:44Brilliant.
20:44When are we going?
20:46Erm, Friday.
20:47It will mean Rachel missed a few days of school,
20:49but it is a one-off.
20:50Oh, Mum, please.
20:51OK, I suppose so.
20:55Just this once, Rachel.
20:57Great.
20:57Sound.
20:58Sorry, guys, you're going to have to count me out on this one.
21:00Are they, Beth?
21:01Well, I can't afford to miss all those lectures.
21:03Yeah, but you can't sit here on your own.
21:04Mum, I'm a big girl.
21:05I think I'll be fine.
21:06Anyway, I can get a friend round today.
21:08Can I have something?
21:09Well, if you're sure.
21:11Look, you go and have a good time.
21:13I'll enjoy having the house to myself.
21:16Great, well, the three of us are off to Ireland, then.
21:18I'll ring the travellies in tomorrow and confirm it.
21:20I can't wait.
21:21Here, I'll clear up.
21:23I'll give you help.
21:26Come on, Rachel, clearing up.
21:29Hey, erm...
21:30It is all right, the little holiday, isn't it?
21:32It's what we all need.
21:33Oh, it's perfect.
21:35I thought I'd lost you forever.
21:37I deserve to.
21:39How could I walk out on all this?
21:43So, erm...
21:45How many rooms have you put?
21:47Three.
21:49Let's just take it slowly at first, eh?
21:51Start from scratch.
21:53Let's get me head round it.
21:55Yeah, fine.
21:57Hey, we've got a light on the chair side.
21:59Oh, great.
22:00Come on, let's get them lit.
22:01There's no one that's going to think we're mad.
22:08OK.
22:09Here we go.
22:10Get ready now.
22:12Right.
22:14Where's the plum?
22:15Right.
22:15How are we ready for it?
22:17Three, two, one, go.
22:20Oh!
22:21Is it bad?
22:22Ah, me hand!
22:22Oh, my God, are you all right?
22:24Ah, me hand!
22:25Is he OK?
22:26Yeah, it's just a burn, I think.
22:28Oh, are you sure you're all right?
22:29Oh, yeah.
22:30Ron Dixon won't be that well and get hold of him bloody cheapo lights.
22:33Look, I'll go inside and get something for your hand.
22:35Oh, I was nearly a gonad, eh?
22:39Had a Mr. Holiday and everything.
22:41Yeah, well, you're not and...
22:42Oh, I'm never going to lose you again.
22:44Oh!
22:47Oh, hello, Dee Dee.
22:48You come for the keys?
22:49No.
22:50You hang on to the keys, Jean.
22:52Aren't you coming in tomorrow?
22:54No, not tomorrow.
22:55Not ever again.
22:58Why?
22:58Where are you going?
22:59I give up, Jean.
23:02Sorry.
23:05I've had enough.
23:06I can't take any more.
23:08Is everything all right, Dee Dee?
23:15No.
23:16I'm finished.
23:18I want you to ask Ron to look after the florist.
23:21What?
23:22I've put the house up for sale.
23:24I'm going, Jean.
23:26I'm going for good.
23:27I'm going for good.
23:38I'm going for good.
24:08I'm going for good.
24:38For indoor use only.
24:53Well, thanks for nothing.
24:54Come on, it's not my fault Sinbad's hopeless with the all-electrics now, is it?
24:58I think you should count yourself lucky that he's not suing you.
25:00And if he's so concerned, why isn't he round here himself moaning about it?
25:03Because he's on holiday with my mum.
25:05Oh, is he now?
25:06Well, he must be in a bad way.
25:08It's not like for some, isn't it?
25:10Hey, you have a nice day now.
25:12Mike.
25:15Hiya.
25:17Have you been to see Jackie?
25:18Erm, yeah.
25:19Listen, I need to get some milk.
25:20I'll see you later.
25:21Mike.
25:22We'll need to talk.
25:24Another time, mate, Beth.
25:25See ya.
25:26All right, Dad.
25:29All right, son.
25:30You and her falling out?
25:32Yeah, just one of those things, you know.
25:34Yeah, well.
25:35We'd probably be better off without her.
25:37Well, she does so-so, isn't she?
25:38Have you been out to see our Jacqueline?
25:40Yeah, well, erm, I'm staying there.
25:42I moved in.
25:44You mean you've left home?
25:45Yeah, for good.
25:47What about your mum?
25:48Well, what about her?
25:49She kept going on about Josh.
25:51I told her I wanted you and Beth to bring him up,
25:54but she wouldn't leave me alone.
25:56So how is she?
25:57Well, I don't know.
25:58I haven't been back there.
25:59I just had to get out.
26:00I think we're doing the right thing.
26:01Yeah.
26:02Yeah, sure.
26:03Don't worry, son.
26:04I'll try and get round there later.
26:05See how she is.
26:07Well, Ron.
26:08Have you got a moment?
26:10Yeah.
26:11Sure, Jean.
26:12Hiya.
26:13Hiya.
26:13Er, are you still on for that drink tonight?
26:15Yeah, yeah, if you still want to.
26:18Great.
26:18Er, are you going in here?
26:20Yeah, yeah.
26:22Yeah.
26:23And she said she was leaving, just like that.
26:26Well, she said she was putting the house on the market
26:28and that you'd take care of the florist.
26:31You what?
26:32You mean you didn't know?
26:35I didn't have a clue.
26:37God almighty, what's she playing at now?
26:45Mike.
26:52Oh, my God.
26:53You can't go on avoiding me forever.
26:55For God's sake, I can't help what I am.
26:58And I can't help what I am.
27:00And what do you mean by that?
27:01Well, look at you.
27:03You look great.
27:05You're dead brainy.
27:05You're a good laugh.
27:08And I fancy you.
27:09And I'm gay.
27:12I'm sorry.
27:13I can't change that.
27:16Yeah, I know.
27:17I know.
27:17I'm really sorry if you think that I've led you on.
27:22I didn't mean to.
27:25Maybe I shouldn't have let myself get so close to you.
27:28No, it's not your fault.
27:31I just...
27:32I just like being with you.
27:34I mean, I knew the score, didn't I, about how you are and that.
27:38But the closer we got, the less it seemed to matter.
27:43I suppose I thought that, you know, you might change your mind about being gay.
27:50It's not as easy as that.
27:53If it was, I wouldn't have hesitated to go out with you.
27:57Well, it makes me feel a little bit better.
28:00Seriously.
28:01You're a great guy and a really good friend.
28:04And I really don't want us to fall out.
28:07Yeah.
28:08Friends?
28:15Let's hope so, eh?
28:21Well, there's no sign of her upstairs and...
28:25Bloody hell, what's she doing with all these?
28:27Why? I mean, what?
28:29I don't know, love. I just don't know.
28:31Listen, what exactly did she say to you?
28:33Well, she thought she'd lost everything and...
28:37She'd nothing left.
28:39And that was it?
28:43Well, she...
28:44said that she thought it was all over and she felt like giving up.
28:53Giving up?
28:54How do you mean, giving up?
28:55Well, I don't know, but, um, she was very upset.
29:00God almighty, Jean, I've got to find her. God only knows what she's thinking.
29:04Look, Ron, I could come with you if you like.
29:06No.
29:07No, love, you'll look after the florists.
29:10Well, are you sure? Because two pairs of eyes are better than one.
29:13Yeah, thanks, love, but, uh...
29:15Well, I've got a good idea where she'll be.
29:17All right, mate?
29:24Oh, all right, mate.
29:25You off out?
29:26Eh, just a few pints for the boys, you know.
29:29You know, we're just for the airhouse, aren't you?
29:30Yeah, well, you know, boys' night out.
29:32We might go clubbing later.
29:33Nice one, sir.
29:33Who's looking after the pizza party?
29:35Well, they've shut up shop, haven't they?
29:36What, on a Friday night?
29:37Well, you're going out, are you?
29:38There's no-one else to ask.
29:40Not aim, Mike.
29:41I mean, I need a night out.
29:42I'm going stair-crazy in that place.
29:44Look, I'll see you at a round bit.
29:45Okay, have a good night, mate.
29:46Cheers.
29:46See you later, mate.
29:47All right, Mike?
29:48All right?
29:48I was just about to knock for you.
29:50All right.
29:50See if you fancy a bevy later.
29:52Oh, eh, sorry, mate, no can do.
29:53All right, go on.
29:54No, I'm going out already.
29:56Got yourself a date?
29:57Eh, yeah.
29:57So it's all bets off with Beth, then?
29:59Yeah.
30:00You're a quick worker, aren't you?
30:01Anyone I know?
30:02Um, no, no, I don't think so.
30:04Oh, well, be lucky, eh?
30:05Yeah, sir.
30:06And make sure you get yourself a pack of three, you never know, do you?
30:11All right, Mo.
30:12You've got all dolled up now.
30:14You've got to go.
30:15I can't, I'm a bag of nerves.
30:17Oh, come on, you'll be all right.
30:20Look, just remember, everyone else will be in the same boat as you.
30:24Yeah, desperate.
30:25It'll be full of weirdos.
30:26So you're just going to sit here all night?
30:29Look, you'll never get a fella if you don't get yourself out and about a bit more.
30:33I just don't want to go on me own.
30:34I mean, it'd be different if I had someone to go with.
30:40Hey, no way.
30:42Why not?
30:44Well, for the stars, I'm not single.
30:46I know, but you don't have to cop off, do you?
30:48Just give me a bit of support.
30:50And what am I going to tell Eddie?
30:53Tell him you go in the pictures with me.
30:55He'll never know.
30:56Oh, I don't know.
30:58Well, go on, sis.
30:59Please?
31:01Oh, all right.
31:03But not a way to our Eddie or our Carl either.
31:06Why not?
31:06Because Eddie's the jealous type.
31:07Now Carl's not going to keep them secret.
31:10Aye, aye, look at this.
31:12You sure you're just going to pictures, Mum?
31:14Yes.
31:15And our Rose is coming as well now.
31:17I thought we were going to have a quiet night, eh?
31:19Oh, I'm sorry, love.
31:20I've promised our Mo now.
31:21Anyway, you've got our Carl to keep your company.
31:23Just you and me, eh, Dad?
31:25Stud up again.
31:26Hiya.
31:28Bloody hell, where are you off to?
31:29Told you, I'm going for a drink.
31:31Dressed like that, are you going with?
31:32A mate.
31:33What mate?
31:34Just a mate.
31:35I won't be late.
31:36See you later.
31:37See you, love.
31:46Dee?
31:48Dee!
31:49Oh, sorry, love.
31:55Sorry.
31:57It was so funny, we thought Simbad was dead for a minute.
31:59Oh, no.
32:00Her mum was having kittens.
32:01So is he all right?
32:03Mm!
32:03He's just got a bit of a burn on his hands as well after going on holiday.
32:06Thank God for that.
32:07In more ways than one, eh?
32:10Well, they'll be going away for a week, won't they?
32:12So I thought you could come round for one night and I'll cut you a meal.
32:15Sounds good to me.
32:17Cheers.
32:17Cheers.
32:19Have you been in here before?
32:20Well, it's a bit off the beaten sack, you know.
32:22I don't want to bump into anyone they know, do we?
32:24I suppose not.
32:25What do you want?
32:26A pint of my black leaves.
32:28A pint of lager.
32:29A pint of my black leaves, mate.
32:32Mike.
32:33Hiya.
32:34What are you doing here?
32:36I'm just having a drink with Sarah.
32:38Hiya.
32:38Hi.
32:39Who are you with?
32:40My friend, Viv.
32:42Why don't you come over and join us?
32:44Yeah, no, you're all right.
32:45Yeah, there's a table there.
32:46We'll get that in.
32:47Oh, yeah.
32:47I'll go and get him.
32:52Isn't Mike Carbax's wife?
32:54Yeah, so what?
32:55Well, what are you doing going out with her?
32:57I thought he was supposed to be your friend.
32:59He is.
33:00And I'm only having a drink with her.
33:03Well, this isn't because of us, is it?
33:05Some sort of rebound.
33:07How can I be on the rebound?
33:10There's nothing going on between us, remember?
33:11There's nothing going on between us, but I've never seen it.
33:14Dee.
33:39All right.
33:40Dee, what are you doing here, love?
33:43It's freezing cold. It's pitch black.
33:46I've come to be with our Tony.
33:52Yeah, I don't know, but it's getting late, love.
33:55You never know who's hanging around this place.
33:58Come on, let's get you out of here, eh?
33:59You can come back tomorrow.
34:00I'm not going home. I'm staying here with our Tony.
34:03But you can't stay here all night.
34:05I'm never going home.
34:07This is where I belong.
34:10God, have I got terrible body odor or something?
34:37You've only been here for ten minutes. Give it a chance.
34:40Well, at least there's more fellas than women gives me some hope.
34:43Drinking like a fish and so nervous.
34:45How do you think I feel?
34:46Look, no one's finished.
34:48Ain't no wonder no one's talking to us.
34:50You've got your wedding ring on.
34:52Of course I've got my wedding ring on. I'm married, aren't I?
34:54Yeah, but no one else in here is.
34:55If you see that thing, they'll run a mile.
34:57Well, I should hope so. I'm not looking to cop off, remember?
35:00I know, but you're with me, aren't you?
35:02You're putting the fellas on.
35:03Oh, thanks very much.
35:05Oh, you know what I mean.
35:06Take it off, eh, sis?
35:08You're joking on her.
35:09You can put it back on when we meet.
35:11But I haven't had it off in over 20 years.
35:13I know the feeling. Why do you think I'm here?
35:15But I might as well go home now,
35:16because if anyone thinks you're married, they won't talk to me.
35:19Right.
35:20All right.
35:21Nothing but a quiet life.
35:22Nice one, sis.
35:24Evening, ladies.
35:25Enjoying yourselves?
35:26Eh, yeah, thanks.
35:28Yeah, things have been suddenly improved.
35:30I'm Kevin, the manager of this place.
35:32Mo, very pleased to meet you.
35:34All right, Mo.
35:36I'm Rosie.
35:38Rosie?
35:38That's a nice name.
35:40Can I get you a drink?
35:42On the house, of course.
35:43You're all right?
35:44Eh, yeah, two walks of lager and lime, please.
35:47Coming right up.
35:48Hey, I knew you were taking your ring off at work.
35:51It's a bit of all right, isn't it?
35:55Yeah.
35:58She doesn't look gay, does she?
36:01No, I suppose not.
36:03I mean, you don't expect them to look like that.
36:05She's dead nice looking.
36:06Yeah, I know.
36:08I expect them all to look like that one off the wedge,
36:10you know, big boots and skinhead.
36:12Well, we live in land, don't we?
36:13Do you want another drink?
36:14Oh, yes, please.
36:22He's quite fit, isn't he?
36:26You think so?
36:26Yeah, I think I could go for him.
36:29Are you serious?
36:31Is there something wrong?
36:33No.
36:36So you've been out with men before, then?
36:38Yeah, my last relationship was with a fella.
36:41I've had to fellas and girls.
36:43Is that a problem?
36:46No, I don't think so.
36:48Well, I might as well be honest with you.
36:49I suppose so.
36:52I know what you're thinking.
36:54That I'd jump into bed with anyone.
36:56No, I don't think...
36:57Well, I don't.
36:59I'm into seeing just one person at a time.
37:02But if you can't handle the way I am...
37:03Of course I can.
37:05It's just come as a bit of a surprise, that's all.
37:08Do you want another drink?
37:10Yeah, why not, eh?
37:11I don't know what you're saying, eh?
37:17Enjoying yourself, are you?
37:18Yeah, thanks.
37:20All right.
37:21I just thought this wouldn't be your scene, Lee.
37:23What's mean?
37:24I thought you had your own special pubs, Lee.
37:27See ya.
37:30Traffic Warden, eh?
37:32I thought I'd seen you before.
37:33Oh, go on, say it.
37:34You didn't recognise me without me uniform, Mon.
37:37I suppose you're going to start on the Gestapo choke cinnamon.
37:39You know, come see us.
37:41I've seen you down Lord Street, the man there.
37:43Oh.
37:45Yeah, right.
37:46It's a bit nicer, don't you?
37:48Yeah, I've got a good memory for faces.
37:50Yeah, certainly, honestly.
37:52Hey, listen, you're wasting your time, Ralph.
37:55Am I here to get your sister to call me?
37:57No problem, Rosie.
37:59I'm just talking about you.
38:01Do you want a baby there, sis?
38:02Allow me, ladies.
38:03On the house, eh?
38:05What's the score with the man from Milk Track?
38:07Oh, I don't know.
38:08I mean, he's a nice enough fella, like.
38:11He shouldn't be here, should I?
38:13Let's go, Homer.
38:14Just one more drink, eh?
38:16Don't just get more drunk if he's not hassling yet.
38:21Oh, my God, I don't believe it.
38:23What is it?
38:24Nick from the pizza parlor.
38:29Pretend we haven't seen him.
38:31Oh, God, he's seen us.
38:36He's coming over.
38:37All right, girls, what are you doing here?
38:40What are you doing here?
38:41Me?
38:42I'm just out for a bit.
38:43Why?
38:43Because it's singles night, that's why.
38:46Go away, is it?
38:47Hey, get away with you.
38:48You're on the pull, are you?
38:50That's me.
38:50Yeah, you.
38:52Well, I like to say,
38:53the Simba told me about the place,
38:55so I don't want to give it a try,
38:56just for a laugh, like, you know.
38:58I don't know, I don't know.
38:58I don't know.
38:59I don't know.
38:59I don't know.
38:59I'm just keeping our moat with me.
39:01But Eddie doesn't know me.
39:02Go up the wall if he finds out.
39:04You're all right.
39:04Your secret's safe with me.
39:07Listen up, Eddie.
39:09You what?
39:10I don't want a good laughing boy there.
39:11The wrong idea.
39:12All right.
39:13Well, you've been all right.
39:14You've got me here now to keep your company.
39:16You don't mind, do you, Nick?
39:17No, no sweating.
39:18Right.
39:19I'm out of here.
39:20I'll see you later.
39:20Ta-ra.
39:21Good luck.
39:21See ya.
39:23So, uh, how's it going, Mo?
39:25Any luckier?
39:26You're joking, aren't you?
39:27I haven't come since the wheel was invented.
39:29I will.
39:30Meg's still young, though.
39:32Is that a flying pig up there?
39:35Where's Rosie?
39:36She's got a date with Kevin Costner.
39:38What?
39:39She's gone home.
39:41Never mind, I'm still here, eh, Kev?
39:44Eh, yeah.
39:46Eh, would you excuse me, Mo?
39:47I think I'll need to be on the bar.
39:49Here.
39:51Enjoy yourself.
39:52I gave you my whole world to me.
39:55Bloody hell, Dee, why?
39:57Because I want to be with our Tony.
39:59But pills!
40:00Just thank God I got here before you'd done anything stupid.
40:03And what's stupid about me wanting to be with my son?
40:06He's the only one I've got left now.
40:08Everyone else has deserted me.
40:09Now, that's not true.
40:10Oh, yes, it is.
40:12First you left, then our Jackie, and now our Michael.
40:17But it's different with our Tony.
40:18He never left me.
40:19God took him for a reason.
40:21And I know he'll always be there for me.
40:24Now, you just listen to me, Dee Dee.
40:26Now, you've got to stop going on like this, do you hear?
40:28Now, I know you've been upset, but those things,
40:31they're never going to fix anything, are they?
40:33What else can I do?
40:34What else have I got?
40:35You've got plenty of things.
40:37Like what?
40:38Yeah, the house.
40:39You've got the house, haven't you?
40:40It's an empty shell.
40:41There's no one there except me.
40:42There was a family there.
40:44Our family.
40:45There's nothing there.
40:46What happens?
40:47Well, our Michael and Jackie are only over the road.
40:51Our Michael just thinks I'm nagging him.
40:53He wants his own life.
40:54No, he's just a bit upset over this business, over Josh, that's all.
40:59Maybe you pushed him a bit too far this time.
41:02I was only trying to do my best.
41:03Josh, Mike.
41:05Even Bevan knew I was honest, Ron.
41:08I know, love, I know.
41:12But sometimes you just forget why you're doing things.
41:16You get too wrapped up in it.
41:18In the end, you just hurt other people, yourself included.
41:23I didn't want to hurt anyone.
41:26I know you never, love.
41:28Especially my own son.
41:29I've even chased him away.
41:31Don't be ridiculous.
41:34Our Michael wouldn't hold a grudge, would he?
41:36No, come on now, love.
41:38Let's get your own, eh?
41:39I'm not going back to that house.
41:41I'm staying here.
41:45Me dress is killing me.
41:47The only thing I'm going to pull in this place is me kipper.
41:50Remind me not to go back here in a hurry.
41:52And the hell's crap and all.
41:54God, listen to us, too.
41:55All we've done is stand here all night and moan.
41:58One hard luck story after another.
42:00We haven't even tried to talk to anyone else.
42:01No wonder we can't cop.
42:03It's a bit difficult, though, isn't it?
42:04I mean, I'm a bit out of practice, to be honest with you.
42:07I thought I'd finish with all that going out and sniffing.
42:10I mean, look at this place.
42:11We're just starting.
42:12It's frightening, isn't it?
42:14I mean, you go out, you think, yeah, you're cool.
42:18Throw some of your best lines out.
42:19It'll be easy.
42:20And then you get here and you freeze.
42:23Because you're frightening getting a knockback.
42:25You're going to dig in yourself.
42:27So you end up getting buried, feeling sorry for yourself, going home on your toes again.
42:32What's the game?
42:32Oh, well, at least we've got each other, eh, Mick?
42:37I suppose we've had the laughing.
42:38What, you've enjoyed being stuck with me all night?
42:41Yes.
42:42Well, I think we've got loads in common.
42:44I mean, we're single.
42:45Desperate.
42:46We both think the ale's crap.
42:48And I bet you're angry as well, aren't you?
42:51I could kill my bag of chips.
42:53Come in, let's hear a taxi.
42:56Listen, why don't we walk out of here together?
42:59So the moment's done.
43:06Tom, I really enjoyed myself.
43:09Yeah, me too.
43:10We'll have to do it again, if you like.
43:11Yeah, would like, definitely.
43:13Right, I'll just leave you here.
43:14I can't take you to the door, can I?
43:16No.
43:16I don't want to give them anything else to kick off, Lord.
43:19Right, I'll see you then.
43:22Yeah, I'm there.
43:24Thanks again.
43:38Right, that's okay, love.
43:40Fine, see ya.
43:46God, that was close.
43:49You don't think she saw us, do you?
43:50No, no, nobody can see us.
43:52It's too dark.
44:02Hi.
44:03I'm out.
44:06Hiya, love.
44:07All right, Mum.
44:08Yeah.
44:09Is her or not back?
44:11No, I thought that might have been her.
44:12God knows what time she'll be back.
44:13Oh, well.
44:14She's got her key, hasn't she?
44:16I'll put the kettle on, hey?
44:18Tea for me, please, love.
44:22Did you have a nice time?
44:23Er, yeah, thanks.
44:25Good picture.
44:27Yeah, not bad.
44:30What do you see?
44:32Erm, that action film.
44:36You know, erm, Time Cop.
44:39Oh, yeah.
44:41Didn't think that had started.
44:42Yeah, erm, the first night, I think.
44:50Mo enjoy it?
44:54What?
44:54Sorry, love.
44:55I said, did Mo enjoy it?
44:58Yeah, I think so.
45:02Do you remember that trip that we took to Landudno in the Moby, when we got stuck on the beach?
45:06There was a tide coming in and we had to get a tractor to pull us out.
45:10That was our Tony, you know.
45:12He talked me into driving a three-ton lorry onto that beach.
45:16What a case, eh?
45:17He could tuck you into anything.
45:19He could wrap you around his little finger.
45:22Yeah, well, he was me favourite, wasn't he?
45:25I know.
45:26He was our baby.
45:30Good memories, eh, Dee?
45:32Yeah.
45:34That's all I've got left, Ron.
45:36Memories.
45:38Oh, eh, love, I didn't mean that.
45:39I know.
45:40But it's true, isn't it?
45:42You've got yourself a new family.
45:43I've got nothing.
45:45Except this.
45:48That's why I'm happy to stay here.
45:51That's why I can never go back.
45:52Here we are, then, eh?
45:57Yeah.
46:00Well, goodnight then, Mum.
46:02It doesn't have to be, Mick.
46:04You what?
46:05You can come on to ours if you like.
46:06All right, Mum, I'm sorry.
46:10Babysitters.
46:11I'd better not.
46:12Well, maybe another time, then, eh?
46:14How about next week?
46:17Well, eh, I'm busy, you know, working now.
46:19Yeah, I know.
46:21Listen, Mum, I've had a really good time, but...
46:24But you couldn't fancy me in a million years.
46:26Oh, no, it's not like that, is it?
46:27Oh, eh, Mick?
46:28No need, please.
46:29I'm used to it.
46:33Well, you're here for the cabbie.
46:35Ta.
46:37See you, then.
46:39Yeah, I'll see you, Mum.
46:51I know you've had a bad time with it lately.
46:53And the way I've behaved hasn't helped.
46:56But I still care for you, Dee.
46:57And so does our Jackie and Mike.
47:01How do you think they'll feel if you hurt yourself?
47:03Oh, don't upset anyone.
47:05No, I know you don't, love, but...
47:08Well, what about your other mate?
47:10Him up there, God?
47:11What about him?
47:12Well, do you think he'd want you doing this?
47:14No, but...
47:15I can't go back to the house.
47:18I can't live there, Ron.
47:19Well, don't go back there, then, love.
47:22Sell it, move away, go to your cousins, whatever.
47:24Well, I'll do all I can to help you, but...
47:27Well, these things, love...
47:30They're never going to solve anything, are they?
47:33You're not angry with me, are you, Ron?
47:35No, of course I'm not angry with you, love.
47:38Nobody is.
47:39Don't be damned.
47:39I'll take these, eh?
47:49Come on.
47:51Let's get out of here, eh?
47:53Come on, love.
47:55That's it.
47:57All safe and sound, eh?
47:58Let's get out of here.
48:28Let's get out of here.
