00:25Watcher, you've seen that about that attacker again?
00:30So?
00:32Well, so, you should be careful, Sean.
00:34What do you mean? Of course I'm careful.
00:36Yeah, but I mean, all that we were saying about you going out on your own and everything...
00:39I mean, you wouldn't, would you? Not now.
00:41Well, you can't let a thing like that stop you.
00:43Well...
00:44You saying I can't go out?
00:45No, it's just...
00:47Well, I'd rather you didn't on your own, eh? I mean, we could go out together.
00:51Right, when?
00:52Tonight.
00:53What about Vicky?
00:54Well, we could ask Pauline, couldn't we?
00:56Well, where do you want to go?
00:57I don't know. Where would you like to go?
00:59I don't know. You choose.
01:01Come in, Oscope 5. Do you read me? Over.
01:04Oh, where is he now?
01:07Sue, here a minute.
01:09One of us has got to have a word with Naima.
01:11She did that again last night.
01:12Did what?
01:13Pinched our customers.
01:14You know that regular booking at the community centre for the women's aging group?
01:18Well, they cancelled last night cos Naima gave them a lift in her van.
01:21That's four cars out of action.
01:22If we carry on losing trade like this, we'll be out of business in no time.
01:25You don't think we might be losing trade cos your brother's been overcharging, do you?
01:28No, I told you.
01:29That's all been sorted out.
01:30I mean, how can we compete if she doesn't even charge them?
01:33Well, women are worried.
01:34We need a few women drivers.
01:35Exactly.
01:36That's why I was thinking if she could come and work for us as some sort of subcontractor,
01:40you know, we recommend women customers to her and she could pay us a commission.
01:43What do you think, eh?
01:44Well, I don't know what all the fuss is about.
01:46After all, she only gave a few friends a lift.
01:48Yeah, but they were our customers, weren't they?
01:50Now, you can ask her a what.
01:52I'll think about it.
01:54AusCab Control.
01:55AusCab Control.
01:56This is AusCab 5.
01:58Do you read me?
01:59Over.
02:00Hello, AusCab 5.
02:01Where have you been?
02:02Oh, I'm sorry, mate.
02:03I was down a dip.
02:04I can just about hear you now, but you'll have to shout cos I'm up on top.
02:09On top of what?
02:10A car.
02:11Excuse me, AusCab 5, can you give me your exact position?
02:15I don't think I read you properly.
02:16I am kneeling on the roof of the car.
02:20Over.
02:21What?
02:22Well, it's the only way I can get radio contact.
02:25I told you I'm down a dip.
02:27Is the car moving?
02:29Well, of course not.
02:31Don't you take me for a pudding?
02:34Look, AusCab 5, stop planning around and get back quick.
02:43Sorry, could I ask your advice?
02:45Yes, Dofty, mate.
02:46Well, I want to take Shell out tonight, but I'm not really sure where to go.
02:49Well, it depends what you want to do, doesn't it?
02:50There's always that pizza place on the ice street.
02:52Oh, you go out pictures, couldn't you?
02:53Yeah.
02:54Yeah, it's tough.
02:55Look at the state of this.
02:56Young places.
02:57Look, Pauline just coming in.
02:59They had to dust her round and left.
03:00She could get out quick enough.
03:01Disgusting.
03:02Oh, now I don't have to live in her house.
03:05This is her idea, I think.
03:06Green bottles hanging on the wall.
03:10And if one green bottle...
03:11What's all this noisy now, Doblin?
03:13I thought the sing-along was tonight.
03:14It is.
03:15He's just getting his tonsils warmed up.
03:16You know, old golden tonsils his back.
03:18Don't sound as if they need warming up.
03:20I could hear him off the way across the square.
03:22You know what my hearing's like.
03:24Hey.
03:25Come on, I'll get a drink of water.
03:28Hey, Tom, see who that is with you.
03:30Where?
03:31At the door.
03:32I can't hear nothing.
03:37All right, all right.
03:39Look, we ain't open yet.
03:41It's me.
03:42I just want to have a word with Pat.
03:43You're about the only one who don't.
03:44Who?
03:45Oh, what is it, love?
03:46I was wondering if you'd mind looking half drowning for me this afternoon.
03:49Oh, I got through it last, have I?
03:51Why?
03:52Just got to go out on business.
03:54Oh, jobbing to you, is it?
03:56No, not exactly.
03:58What kind of business?
03:59Just business.
04:01No, well, er...
04:02I'm sorry, I can't.
04:04Anyway, you watch yourself.
04:06You read the papers this morning.
04:07No, why?
04:08Because that attacker struck again last night, that's why.
04:10So what's that got to do with me?
04:12Just watch it, that's all.
04:14I can't take care of meself, you know.
04:19Coffee's up.
04:21That's not a black pressure.
04:23That's all right, it's on me.
04:25Oh, well, it's on your dad, really.
04:27Why come?
04:28Well, I just saw the last of his records.
04:30Who'd have thought there were so many Bobby V fans left in Walford?
04:33Oh, it's not as if you see anyone wearing them horrible suits anymore, is it?
04:36Except Lofty, of course.
04:38I saw him last night.
04:39Who, Bobby V, Lofty or your dad?
04:41My dad.
04:42How was he?
04:43He's not still doing his not-batting records, is he?
04:45No, he's fine about that.
04:47He's worried about me.
04:48Worried about us drifting apart.
04:50You're not moving back in with him, are you?
04:52No.
04:53I told him I don't want to see him again until the divorce is over.
04:55How did he tell them?
04:57He was cut up about it.
04:58He's doing the right thing, isn't I, Barry?
05:00I can't just forget what he did to Mum.
05:03I know she's no angel, but what he did was unforgivable.
05:06I need some time away from him to think about it and sort my feelings out.
05:09You're doing all that thing.
05:11I can't understand why two people stay together so long that they hate each other.
05:14Did it because of me, I suppose?
05:16When you're parents, you've got a duty to stay together for the sake of your kids, haven't you?
05:20I can't see that.
05:21I mean, you can't do a kid much good being stuck around two people who are at each other's throats all the time.
05:24Yeah, but it wasn't always like that.
05:26I used to try some of them.
05:27Life's too short of you, husband.
05:29You might as well try and enjoy yourself.
05:31I know it sounds hard, but why stick around someone if you're just getting a load of grief all the time?
05:36They thought they were doing their best for me, their duty.
05:38Never mind duty.
05:39What about love?
05:40I don't know.
05:41There must have been some love between them, mustn't there?
05:44Look, stop being so serious.
05:46Are you coming to Wixie Singaline tonight?
05:48No.
05:49Oh, come on, otherwise I'll be on my own.
05:50What's wrong with Colin?
05:51Oh, misery, Gatsmunko.
05:53Oh, sorry, Barry.
05:54Look, if you're worried about money, I'll buy the drinks.
05:57If I didn't know you better, I'd think you was trying to impress me.
06:00With your information on getting an allowance of 20 quid a week off your dad.
06:0320 quid a week, eh?
06:04Oh, well, you're welcome to rummage through my line or treasure.
06:07I ain't gonna waste it like I used to.
06:09I'm gonna give it to my mum.
06:11Mum says he don't interfere with his victims.
06:13Just beats them up.
06:14But it's bad enough.
06:15Hiya.
06:16Morning, Lofty.
06:17Morning, Miss Spill.
06:18I just popped in to see if you'd asked Pauline yet.
06:21No, I haven't seen her yet.
06:22Oh, she's having her at the laundry.
06:23You know, Doc popped in to ask her because she'd swapped shifts with her
06:26because Doc wants to go and see Dr Lee.
06:28Ask her what in here?
06:29Well, whether she'd babysit while me go out tonight.
06:32Oh, I don't know.
06:33You'll have to ask her.
06:34Here, I'd help you out.
06:35But I'm going over a week to, er, Simon's sing-along.
06:38Here, you having problems there, Shel?
06:41Well, it's just fiddly, Gran.
06:42Yeah, come on, look.
06:43Hand it down.
06:44Well, let's have a look.
06:45Lofty.
06:46Oh, yeah.
06:47Yeah.
06:51Well!
06:52Of course you're so slow because your stitches is too small.
06:55Take you an age to finish this.
06:57It's got to be neat.
06:58Yes, I know.
06:59There's no army putting a few homeward bounders when it won't notice.
07:03That's what we used to call them in the army, homeward bounders.
07:06I remember there's this one geezer.
07:07He had this dirty, great cut all down his leg.
07:09And instead of putting it up with, you know, proper stitches and that,
07:12they just did it with three dirty, great homeward bounders.
07:15Oh, don't talk about doctors and nurses.
07:17Lofty makes me feel queer.
07:19I'll come off it, Gran.
07:20They're there to help you.
07:21Help you?
07:22I don't see how they can help you.
07:24Forever jabbing needles into you or whatever.
07:27You talked a dot on the subject.
07:29You start out with the best of health and before they finish,
07:32they've got to find something wrong with you.
07:34You put your life into their hands the moment you step foot into hospital.
07:38You have no say in the matter.
07:39Well, I don't know.
07:40I mean, look at Arthur.
07:41Paulie says he's looking better already, eh?
07:43Well, it ain't hospital after her needs.
07:45It's a job.
07:46He's ill, Gran.
07:47He needs proper treatment.
07:48It's a funny kind of illness that makes a man carry on like that.
07:52Oh, what's the time?
07:56It's ten o'clock.
07:57Ain't you going to go to college?
07:59Oh, I haven't got to be there until about eleven.
08:00Nice life, innit?
08:01I ain't.
08:02He's going to miss his girlfriend, ain't you, Ian?
08:04She is not my...
08:05Well, she is my girlfriend, but she don't like me calling her that.
08:08What do you call her?
08:10I call her by her name.
08:11Yeah, when we get a meet her, eh?
08:13Oh, good sign, Gran.
08:14Good sign.
08:15Me and Shaw are going on a date tonight, aren't we?
08:17Oh, that's very daring of you.
08:18Where are you going?
08:19Well, we thought we'd go and have a pizza at that place up the ice street
08:21and then maybe go pictures or something, eh?
08:23Well, why don't you try going up west?
08:24That's an idea.
08:25I mean, we could do something different for a change.
08:27The world don't begin and end in Warford, does it?
08:29Well, where do you want to go, then?
08:30I don't know.
08:31You choose.
08:32But think of something different.
08:33Do you mind me asking you a favour?
08:34No, of course not.
08:35I'm keeping an eye on Annie for us this afternoon.
08:37I wouldn't ask on you.
08:38I've got to go out.
08:39I've told you.
08:40Never be afraid to ask.
08:41Seems a bit of a cheat, doesn't it?
08:42It's no problem.
08:43Where are you going?
08:44Why?
08:45No reason.
08:46Just interested.
08:47I've got to go uptown.
08:48Bit of business.
08:49Oh, lucky for some.
08:50Chance of a job, is it?
08:51Yeah, so you keep your fingers crossed.
08:52What time will you be back?
08:54Oh, I don't know.
08:55Depends.
08:56Well, you be careful, won't you?
08:58It's not safe walking around there on your own.
09:00Leave alone up the wicked West End.
09:02And looking like you do, you ain't exactly going to blend in, are you?
09:05Cheers, sir.
09:06Bye.
09:07Good luck with the job.
09:08Sure.
09:09Calling Oscap Five.
09:10Oscap Five.
09:11Come in, Oscap Five.
09:12Hello?
09:13Hello?
09:14This is Oscap Five.
09:15Do you read me?
09:16Over.
09:17Where are you, mate?
09:18You sound a bit distant.
09:19Well, I'm almost there now.
09:20Where?
09:21Gatwick.
09:22Gatwick?
09:23What are you going to Gatwick for?
09:26Well, you told me to.
09:28You said to get to Gatwick quick.
09:31No, you idiot.
09:32I said get back quick.
09:34So you don't want me to go to Gatwick now, then?
09:38No.
09:39No.
09:40Flight BA-175.
09:41This is Gatwick with air traffic control.
09:42You're clear to start your approach now.
09:44Ali?
09:45Ali?
09:46Is that you, mate?
09:47You sound different.
09:48Come in.
09:49Oh, not you again.
09:50Where's Dr. Legg?
09:51He's not here.
09:52But I can't see Dr. Legg.
09:53Why?
09:54Well, I made arrangements.
09:55I mean, I've changed my shift.
09:56The next thing I'm going to do.
09:57I'm going to do.
09:58I'm going to do it.
09:59I'm going to do it.
10:00I'm going to do it.
10:01I'm going to do it.
10:02I'm going to do it.
10:03I'm going to do it.
10:04I'm going to do it.
10:05I'm going to do it.
10:06I'm going to do it.
10:07I've made arrangements.
10:08I mean, I've changed my shift and everything.
10:09When can I see the doctor?
10:11I am the doctor.
10:12Oh, you don't look like a doctor to me.
10:15And how do you think a doctor should look?
10:17Well...
10:18Look, we've been through this before.
10:20Well, older, you know.
10:22Older?
10:23Yes, definitely.
10:24Much older and, er...
10:26Well?
10:27Well, sort of, er...
10:29Whiter.
10:30Well, like Dr. Legg.
10:32I see.
10:33Yes, well, when can I see Dr. Legg?
10:35Oh, he won't be back this week.
10:36But I've got to see him.
10:37Look, Mrs. Cotton.
10:38In spite of my extreme youth and the colour of my skin, I am a qualified doctor.
10:45Now, why don't you tell me what the problem is?
10:47Well, Dr. Legg knows what me problem is, and he's been very understanding.
10:52Why don't you tell me?
10:54Or are you going to walk out on me again?
10:57Well...
10:58I suppose it's the change of life, innit?
11:03You know, I've been feeling very, very strange.
11:07All I can't explain is as if I'm on the outside of everything.
11:11I'm just looking in.
11:12Does that mean anything to you?
11:14Yes, of course.
11:15Well...
11:16I was doing terrible things, and then I didn't know I was doing them, and I began to get
11:23very confused again, and it's made me very worried and depressed.
11:28Now, don't worry.
11:30All these symptoms are perfectly normal and associated with the menopause.
11:34They're all related to the loss of the hormone oestrogen.
11:37If we can restore your hormonal balance, these problems won't occur.
11:41How do you do that?
11:43By prescribing you a course of hormones.
11:45It won't change me, will it?
11:47I won't grow a beard.
11:48I'm frightened of things like that.
11:50I can assure you that there's nothing to be afraid of.
11:53Let me explain.
11:54Just imagine that your body is a machine.
11:57Let's say a car engine.
11:59The engine needs a lubricant, oil, to make it run smoothly.
12:03When it runs out of oil, things start to seize up and go wrong.
12:06So you have to put fresh oil in the engine to make it run smoothly.
12:10Well, it's exactly the same with your body.
12:13Instead of putting the oil, we need the oestrogen to make it run smoothly.
12:16Oh, I see.
12:17We simply have to replace the lost oestrogen.
12:20A lot of the problems that we associate with the elderly, such as brittle bones, are caused by a lack of oestrogen.
12:25Yeah, well, that don't apply to me.
12:26I mean, how do you replace it?
12:28I won't have to have an operation or anything, will I?
12:30No, nothing like that.
12:31It comes in tablet form.
12:32Oh.
12:33Like the contraceptive pill.
12:35Most of them contain oestrogen, you see.
12:37Well, is it safe?
12:38Are you sure there won't be no side effects?
12:40None at all.
12:41All this is a result of medical research, enabling us to find out more about our bodies and give nature a helping hand.
12:48Now, what I could do is refer you to a specialist clinic.
12:52They will sort out the correct treatment for you and monitor your progress.
12:56How do you feel about that?
12:58A clinic?
12:59Yes.
13:00Would you like me to refer you?
13:01A special clinic?
13:02Yes, very special.
13:03Oh.
13:04Would you like to go?
13:05Oh, yes.
13:06Oh, thank you, Doctor.
13:08Oh, you have been very helpful.
13:15Oh, look at this place, about as crowded as a Charlton home game.
13:18Tell you what, if you really think you can cope with the rush, I'm going.
13:21Then, could I have a quick word?
13:22Yes, Lofty.
13:23Well, seeing as it is so quiet and everything, I was wondering if I could have the night off.
13:26I wanted to take Michelle out.
13:28Well, does it have to be tonight?
13:29I mean, I was open to put on a few extra customers, what with Simple, Simon, Sinatra there doing his stuff.
13:34On second thoughts, take the night off.
13:36Where are you going? Anywhere excited?
13:37Well, I don't know.
13:38I thought maybe we'd go up west, but I haven't really decided.
13:40You got any ideas?
13:41You could take her for a meal.
13:43She'd like that.
13:44Yeah, then on to a show.
13:45Hey, what's this?
13:46Lofty wants a few suggestions of where to take Michelle for an exciting night out.
13:50Oh, cocktails first.
13:51You know, happy hour in one of them swish cocktail bars.
13:54Well, it gets the evening going in the good mood, you know.
13:57Yeah, then after you've seen the show, mate, you can go into a nightclub, do some dancing.
14:00So that's cocktails.
14:01Then a meal.
14:02Then a show.
14:03Then a nightclub.
14:04Yeah.
14:05I'll tell you what, there's one of them magazines by the phone.
14:07Tell you what's on in the West End.
14:08Why don't you ring around, make a few arrangements?
14:10Okay.
14:14Tony, do you mind if I ask you a favour?
14:17Depends what it is.
14:18Could you come and mend the roof on our flat?
14:20It's leaking very badly and the landlord's workmen just haven't turned up.
14:23Look, I'm sorry, but you know how it is.
14:25I'm busy with the silversmithing all day and the cabin at night.
14:27I just haven't got the time to spare.
14:29Please, Tony, I'm sure it wouldn't take you very long.
14:32Every time it rains, we're in danger of being flooded out.
14:35Look, you could do the repairs and then send the bill to the landlord.
14:37Unless he contracts for me, he doesn't have to pay.
14:39He knows the work's got to be done.
14:41He's agreed to send someone round.
14:42It's just that they haven't turned up.
14:44Look, I'm sorry, but I don't believe in meddling in other people's business.
14:48And I won't take another man's job off him.
14:50What's that supposed to mean?
14:51You know what I mean.
14:52You've been nicking our cab customers.
14:53Nicking?
14:54Yes.
14:55First it was Kelvin's party and now it's the Asian Women's Group.
14:58They're my friends.
14:59If I want to give them a lift home, I will.
15:01There's no law against that, is there?
15:03Is that the reason you won't mend the roof?
15:06You're so petty.
15:09You just feel threatened because I can drive, don't you?
15:15Oh, cheers, Tom.
15:17I was worried about that one.
15:19Yeah, well, I've had a letter from Miss Lizard.
15:20And?
15:21And nothing.
15:22They just said that they'd had a letter from her.
15:24So what's the problem?
15:25I don't like it.
15:27I've got a feeling that they've taken over,
15:29that they're stitching me up between them,
15:30and I have no say in the matter whatsoever.
15:32Yeah, well, that's solicitors for you.
15:34Don't forget you're hiring one of them.
15:36So if you're unhappy about things, go and see them.
15:39What's the point?
15:40You only have her give you a load of old toffee.
15:42Yes, Mr. Watts.
15:43No, Mr. Watts.
15:44Don't worry, Mr. Watts.
15:45We're working towards a fair settlement.
15:51And I've just seen Sharon.
15:53How is she?
15:54She doesn't want to see me again until I divorce it over.
15:57I'm sorry.
15:58Yeah, well, the speed this thing's taken,
15:59it could be months before I see her again properly,
16:01and I'm not talking about a stranger on the other side of the street
16:03who can't even say hello.
16:05She's my daughter and she needs me.
16:08Maybe not as much as you think.
16:10She's growing up fast.
16:12Quite the little lady.
16:13No.
16:14She's still a kid to me.
16:16Maybe that's why she doesn't want to see you.
16:18Maybe she needs time to sort out her feelings towards you.
16:22Yeah, well, the place just seems so empty.
16:28Even the punters have stopped coming.
16:30Yeah, well, what do you expect?
16:32Angie was well-liked in the area.
16:34There was bound to be a reaction.
16:36It'll pass.
16:39Look, when are you gonna move in with me?
16:41Not yet.
16:42Me being there would only make things worse.
16:44So what have I been doing all this for if we can't be together?
16:46We will be.
16:47When?
16:48When the time's right.
16:49Well, when's that gonna be?
16:50I don't know.
16:51I can't give you a date.
16:53You're not backing out on me, are you?
16:55No.
16:56I just need time to get used to the idea.
16:59Make the adjustment.
17:01Do I give up my career, my flat, my whole way of life?
17:06To come and play the publican's lady?
17:09I thought that's what you wanted.
17:11You and me together.
17:12And now you've got the chance, do it?
17:15I can't, damn.
17:17Not yet.
17:18I need you there now.
17:20I'm sorry.
17:22You'll just have to put up with it a bit longer.
17:25Hey, how's it going?
17:27Crazy as usual.
17:28And we've lost contact with Oscar 5.
17:30No problem?
17:31No.
17:32Probably we've been hijacked by international terrorists.
17:35I lost the wing over mid-Atlantic.
17:37Right.
17:38Oh, forget it.
17:41You wanted to see me?
17:42Yeah, well, Sue's not here at the moment.
17:44She just popped over to the laundrette.
17:46If you've got something to say, why don't you just say it?
17:49Right.
17:50It's about your free rides for women.
17:52Let's get this straight.
17:53I just gave some friends a lift home as a favour.
17:56That's all.
17:57Okay.
17:58So it shows there's a market for rides by women for women.
18:00That's hardly surprising these days, is it?
18:02Exactly.
18:03So we were thinking you could come and work for us as some sort of subcontractor.
18:07You know, we recommend women customers to you and you pay us a commission.
18:10What do you say, eh?
18:12Forget it.
18:13I am not interested.
18:14I just gave some friends a lift.
18:16I keep telling you.
18:17Right.
18:18So you're not going to do it again, then?
18:19I didn't say that.
18:20Given the chance, I'd jump at it.
18:21Of course.
18:22OzCab, please.
18:23Come in, please.
18:24This is OzCab 5.
18:25This is OzCab 5.
18:26Over.
18:27This is OzCab Control here.
18:28Where have you been?
18:29I've been trying to raise it for half an hour.
18:30Well, I'm sorry.
18:31I'm sure I'd like to answer any more danger.
18:32There's no law against that, is there?
18:33I tell you, mate, it's terrible around here.
18:34There are no conveniences.
18:35Open.
18:36Over.
18:37My heart bleeds for you, OzCab 5.
18:38What do you want me to do, eh?
18:39Install a portal in the back of the cab?
18:40Understood, OzCab Control.
18:41I'm on your way.
18:42Where?
18:43Toward a loo.
18:44Would that be all right?
18:45Wow.
18:46You all right, Annie?
18:47Mary!
18:48What's happening now?
18:49I'm sorry.
18:50I'm sorry.
18:51I'm sorry.
18:52I'm sorry.
18:53I'm sorry.
18:54I'm sorry.
18:55I'm sorry.
18:56I'm sorry.
18:57I'm sorry.
18:58I'm sorry.
18:59I'm sorry.
19:00I'm sorry.
19:01I'm sorry.
19:02I'm sorry.
19:03I'm sorry.
19:04I'm sorry.
19:05I'm sorry.
19:06I'm sorry.
19:07What's this?
19:08Mary?
19:09Mary.
19:10Did he do anything else to you?
19:12Did he?
19:13No.
19:14What's this?
19:15I know none of us is safe.
19:18Where did it happen?
19:20Just down the road.
19:22When?
19:23Now.
19:24He could still be around.
19:25He might be out there watching us, selecting his next victim.
19:28Shut up.
19:29Get some water, eh?
19:30Right.
19:31I'm going to call the police.
19:32No!
19:33Don't call the police.
19:35Where's Annie?
19:36Annie's all right.
19:37She's in the back room.
19:38Why don't you want to call the police, Mary?
19:40Well, because I didn't see nothing.
19:42I can't help me, can I?
19:44They ought to be told, you know.
19:46I mean, this animal's got to be caught.
19:48He keeps doing this.
19:49That's right.
19:50The next woman might not be so lucky.
19:52Somebody better call an ambulance, then.
19:54No, I'm all right.
19:55It's just quits on roses.
19:56I've got ready.
19:57I feel a bit sick.
19:58I've got to go out and lie down.
19:59No.
20:00You stay in.
20:01Rest for a bit, love.
20:02It makes you realise a woman can't walk around safely on her own anymore.
20:06I never go out alone after dark, anyway.
20:08It's all right if you take sensible precautions.
20:10Why should we?
20:11I mean, why should women have to stay in?
20:13It's men who attack us.
20:15They should be kept in.
20:16There should be a curfew on them.
20:18Any man out after nine o'clock at night should be locked up.
20:21It's a bit extreme, isn't it?
20:22Well, so is this.
20:23Look at the state of her.
20:29Did you talk to your mum?
20:30Yeah, that's no problem.
20:32Well, shouldn't you be getting ready, then?
20:33We need to go out soon, eh?
20:34Yeah, well, I've got to take this round to cafes and drop Vicky off at Mum's,
20:38and then I've got to pick up the stuff from the laundrette.
20:40Yeah, but I could do all that while you're getting ready, eh?
20:42I've got to go round to cafes anyway.
20:43I want to check that this is all right.
20:45What's the hurry?
20:46Where are we going?
20:47Well, it's a surprise.
20:48I've got it all worked out.
20:49It's going to be the best night we've ever had, shall we?
20:52Hello, Phil.
20:53Yeah, I know.
20:54Fine state of affairs, innit?
20:55Man does all day's grow.
20:56I've got to come home and start cooking a family dinner.
20:58Well, don't for another week.
21:00Just until I get the order ready.
21:01Oh, well, this should help.
21:02I've done another half a dozen.
21:03Oh, great.
21:04Let's have a look.
21:05They're all right, aren't they?
21:07Well, no, not really.
21:09The stitching's a bit, well, a bit big.
21:12Yeah.
21:13I'm sorry, Kath.
21:14I followed Gran's advice.
21:16I'm sorry, Cheryl.
21:17It's just that we can't afford to cut corners on this order.
21:20We need it to be good to establish your reputation.
21:22It'll have to be unpicked.
21:24Yeah, afraid so.
21:25Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
21:26Oh, what is it?
21:27Oh, runny pins.
21:28Oh, well, I told you to wear your slippers.
21:29Oh, come on, Kath.
21:30He's new some pins all over this place.
21:32I'm up to here with it.
21:33I'm sorry, Pete.
21:34How do you think I feel?
21:35I'm sorry.
21:36You know, I told you, it's only for another week.
21:37Just till I get the order ready.
21:38Another week?
21:39Oh, leave her, Kath.
21:40You're nowhere near on schedule.
21:42We'd just have to work harder then, wouldn't we?
21:44I've got to get this order finished.
21:45Look out, can you?
21:46Your eyeballs are popping out your head all ready.
21:48Listen, why don't you admit, it was a good try, but you took on too much too soon.
21:53Oh, come on, you knock all that gear out in the stall eventually.
21:55Oh, right, it's going to take a bit longer, but you'll be able to get the money back at the end.
21:58No way, Pete.
21:59I've got a contract to deliver six dozen of these jumpers by next week, and that's what I intend to do.
22:04I've just got to get it finished on time.
22:06We'll do it somewhere, honest.
22:07Okay, but you're doing no more tonight.
22:09Why not?
22:10Because we're going out.
22:11Where?
22:12Over to Vic.
22:13Wix is doing his sing-along, and I'll take your mum over.
22:14You coming, shall I?
22:15Well, why not?
22:16Do you need an old man good to come out the evening?
22:18Well, he's taking me out.
22:19I don't know where.
22:20It's a surprise.
22:21Pat, I don't need to see a doctor.
22:23I'm all right.
22:24I've just got a bit of an headache, that's all.
22:27I'll just get in there and see him.
22:28You never know with these things.
22:29I'm all right.
22:31You should have called the law and all.
22:34No.
22:35It wasn't no mystery attacker, was it?
22:38What do you mean?
22:40Oh, you know full well what I mean.
22:42No, I don't.
22:43Who was it?
22:44Some punter you picked up turned a bit rough?
22:46No.
22:47Oh, come on.
22:48I've told you it was the attacker.
22:50He jumped me from behind.
22:52So why didn't you call the law, then?
22:54Because I don't want to get involved.
22:56What do you think?
22:57I was born yesterday.
22:58If that attacker had jumped on you and you'd know about it, you wouldn't be here.
23:01You'd be in hospital in intensive care.
23:03You don't just slap people around.
23:04He really hurts them.
23:05So I ran off before he could do any more.
23:07I thought you said he knocked you down.
23:09He did!
23:10Come on, Mary.
23:11Tell me the truth.
23:12Was it some punter who rucked you up?
23:13I've told you.
23:14Was it?
23:15It might have been.
23:16You know, when I was your age, we had a saying.
23:19Be good.
23:20And if you can't...
23:21If you can't be good, be careful.
23:23I know it.
23:25It's good advice, Mary.
23:27Take it.
23:31Hello, Sean.
23:32Are you not ready yet?
23:34Where are we going?
23:35Well, the cab's coming for us at six.
23:37And then we go uptown and have some cocktails.
23:40I've booked a table at a restaurant.
23:42And then I've reserved some seats for us at me and my girl.
23:45And I thought we could go and have a few drinks and then go on to a nightclub after.
23:48This sounds great.
23:50Look, couldn't we just go over to the pub for a drink?
23:53I know it's not much of a change for you.
23:55But I've been planning this all day.
23:57I thought you wanted to get away from here.
24:00I did, but I'm just too tired now.
24:02Please.
24:03Yeah, well, I suppose it's safe on the bus for us, wouldn't it?
24:08Then we can have an early night.
24:18Do you have to go out, Annie?
24:19Yeah, I'm really sorry, but I told you.
24:21We've lost cab five out of action.
24:22What else can I do?
24:23Well, where has he got to, then?
24:24I told you.
24:25He got towed away at Waterloo.
24:27What was he doing to get towed away?
24:29Oh, don't ask.
24:30Look, I've got to go, right?
24:31You two gonna be all right on your own?
24:32Yes, yes.
24:33See you later.
24:34See you later.
24:35Hi.
24:37Feeling better?
24:38A bit.
24:39A cup of tea?
24:40Oh, better to get an Annie back.
24:42No, don't.
24:43Stay.
24:44Have a cup of tea.
24:45Please.
24:46Please.
24:47In my day, they used to have music halls.
24:50There were small halls everywhere.
24:52I used to go up to Premier Land and Orgy.
24:54It was a boxing arena, really, but between fights, they used to have acts.
24:58And do you know what?
24:59No.
25:00What?
25:01They used to have wild animals all round the walls in cages.
25:04Lions, tigers, pamphers.
25:06Bet that must have been fun.
25:07I saw Jack Doyle up there once.
25:09The horizontal heavyweight, they used to call him.
25:12He used to recite poetry while he was tap dancing.
25:16And then he'd go up and fire 20 rounder.
25:18What a character!
25:19What?
25:20And then there was that bloke that used to lick the white-hot poker.
25:23Do you know how he did it?
25:24No.
25:25Well, they made sure the poker was white-hot.
25:28Because if it was only red-hot, then the bloke would lose his tongue.
25:31Oh, we should be so lucky, eh?
25:33Oh, they're pouring in tonight.
25:34You've even lured the International Jet Set away from the West End.
25:36Shows you've still got the old magic, eh?
25:38No, it shows I've still got a large family then.
25:40Hey, what's up, love? Couldn't you fool the bus fare out at West End?
25:42No, just couldn't stay away from the place, could you, eh?
25:44Give it a couple of minutes, get us a few more customers, then make a start.
25:47Oh, I told her, I think she took on too much too soon.
25:50No!
25:51I don't know if he's cutting a few corners and done a few of the old tricks.
25:54I'll show Michelle the morning.
25:56That was a good try, but I can't see them getting finished on time.
25:59The trouble is, we've got to do all the sewing up by hand.
26:01And with an order this big, we need a machine to do it.
26:03It's like I said to Pete, once we get the linker, we'll really be able to compete.
26:06I didn't know you was keen on football, Cathy.
26:09Eh?
26:10Brad Lineker, he's a good boy, isn't he?
26:12Oh, yeah. He's got a golden ball. I've heard it all before, Tom.
26:15Anyway, I'm sick of all this thing and feasiness.
26:17If I have one more word of it, I'm going to do my nut.
26:20Oh, I see another couple who can't resist the magical music of the maestro.
26:24Not exactly.
26:25It's just marginally more exciting than sitting underneath a leaking roof.
26:28I hope so.
26:30All right, then.
26:31Now, before I start, are there any requests?
26:33Yeah. Give us something from the 60s, son.
26:36All right, thank you.
26:37All right.
26:38Need some pins, all right?
26:40That's all right.
26:41All right, then.
26:42How about this one?
26:43I like this one.
26:45Raindrops keep falling on my head.
26:48Oh, no!
26:49What shall I play, then?
26:51I'll play some country and western music. You can't go wrong with that.
26:54No, I need no one, then.
26:55Just play it, will you?
26:57Come on.
26:58My D-I-V-O-R-C
27:05I hate being here on me own. Gives me the creeps.
27:07I'm quite glad you're here, as it happens.
27:09Yeah.
27:10I'm glad I got you for company tonight.
27:11Don't think I could stand being on me own.
27:13No.
27:14I suppose the worst thing is, not knowing if that maniac might still be hanging around, innit?
27:22Ray!
27:24Ray!
27:27Mary, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to upset you.
27:33It's all right.
27:36Sue?
27:39Yeah?
27:41It wasn't the attacker. I've got to tell someone.
27:45Hey?
27:47It was the other girls that beat me up.
27:50What other girls?
27:52Up the market.
27:54They beat me up for trying to work their patchy.
27:58Who beat you up?
27:59I didn't think you had a job.
28:01Oh, the other girls, they beat me up for trying to poach their tricks.
28:05Next, stay with drama, as we find another case for our loveable rogue, and antiques expert.
28:18It's Lovejoy.
28:19Bye.
28:20Bye.
28:21Bye.
28:22Bye.
28:23Bye.
28:29Bye.
28:32Bye.
