00:00Neighbours, everybody needs good neighbours
00:05With a little understanding
00:08You can find the perfect blend
00:13Neighbours should be there for one another
00:21That's when good neighbours become good
00:30Good morning, Mrs. Mangle
00:34Dr. Marshall, I want a word with you
00:36I was just on my way out
00:38This can't wait
00:39I want something done about that vicious nephew of yours
00:42Todd? There must be some mistake
00:44I assure you there's not
00:46That boy played a cruel and potentially dangerous trick on me
00:49And I want him severely punished
00:51They may be your sister's children
00:54But they don't appear to have had any parental guidance in their upbringing
00:57They show a total lack of respect for their elders
01:00They've had problems, I know
01:02But they do seem to be settling down quite happily now
01:04Yes, quite happily making mischief
01:06I'm not going anywhere
01:10Alright, you can stay
01:13But let's get one thing straight
01:15I will be the one to decide what happens to Daphne's clothes
01:18And I'm not ready to get rid of them
01:19There, I thought he meant it
01:25Yeah, so did I
01:27I know he's upset, Mike
01:29But he's got no excuse for treating you like that
01:31You've got to make allowances for him, Mrs. Ramsey
01:34Give him time to accept what's happened
01:37I just wish he'd go back to work
01:40Yeah, this would be the best thing he could do
01:42There you are, all the present, correct?
01:45Good one, thanks, Jane
01:45You're worth your weight in gold
01:46Well, don't weigh much
01:48Well, as long as you know I appreciate how hard you work
01:50G'day again
01:51Just came in from a list of jobs for tomorrow
01:53Henry, just a minute I want to see
01:54Listen, can you work tonight and tomorrow in the bar while Brett's away, see?
01:57No worries
01:57Good man
01:58Now, what else is on this list?
01:59I can imagine
02:00Then the bar is
02:02How's the dancing practice going now, Mike's back
02:07Come back
02:07Alright
02:08He doesn't mind you spending all that time with Tony?
02:12No, his hands are pretty much full looking after the Clark family
02:14Oh, of course, yeah
02:16Fancy coming home to that, eh?
02:18But he does know about you and Tony dancing together, though, doesn't he?
02:22Yeah
02:22I asked him if he minded and he said he didn't
02:24Oh, that's good
02:25There's nothing for him to get jealous about, anyway
02:28Sure, I know
02:29Well, it's the same with me
02:31You know, Sally lives with Tony, but I'm not jealous
02:32See you later
02:34Um, Paul
02:40I know we're really busy at the moment, but would it be alright if I took tomorrow morning off?
02:45Yeah, I suppose so
02:45Something important?
02:47Well, it's just Nan's divorce
02:48She's feeling a bit unsettled about seeing Grandad, so I thought I'd go along and give her a bit of moral support
02:52Oh, yeah
02:53Yeah, sure, sure
02:54Look, Gail and I can manage you
02:55What's happening with the property settlement?
02:57Do you know yet?
02:58Well, Grandad wants to force the sale of the house, but Nan's solicitor feels confident that we can win
03:02Um, look, Jane, I don't want to dampen your optimism, but somebody really should warn you
03:10See, solicitors generally tell their clients that they've got a good chance of winning
03:14Well, your Grandad's solicitor's probably said exactly the same thing to him
03:17For once, I hope you're wrong
03:19If Nan has to sell this house, there won't be much money left once the mortgage is paid off
03:23So she must be pretty anxious, then
03:26Actually, she's got quite a positive attitude
03:28One thing's for certain, she's not going to lose this house without putting up a fight
03:31Todd, look at this
03:33Shut up, Katie, I'm trying to do my homework
03:35There's always something these days
03:37Homework, Emma
03:39Lay off
03:40Are you in love with it?
03:43Well, get lost and turn the TV down
03:45Okay, you ask
03:48What on earth is going on here?
03:54Todd, leave your sister alone
03:56She started it
03:57What's the idea of having a television blaring like that?
03:59Are you trying to wreck it or something?
04:00It was Katie
04:02Dobber!
04:03All right, that'll do
04:03Katie, I want you to go to your room and find something quieter
04:06I want you to do, would you?
04:08Go on, off you go
04:08I am prepared to overlook that little performance that was going on just now
04:15But I can't do the same with the complaint I've just had about your behaviour
04:18Complaint?
04:19From Harold Bishop
04:20Oh
04:21Yes, oh
04:22Is it true you were rude to him this afternoon?
04:25I might have known he'd go running to you
04:27What a wimp
04:28Todd
04:29Harold Bishop is a respected member of this community and a neighbour
04:32I want you to go back to the coffee shop and apologise to him
04:35No way!
04:36Todd, don't argue with me!
04:37Look, I'm not going to apologise to him and you can't make me
04:40Poor little knight
04:44How will he get on without Eileen there to care for him?
04:47Oh, I believe Des and Mike her old hands are changing nappies
04:49No, little Jamie will be all right
04:51From what I hear, Mr Clark's too busy mourning his wife to bother much about his son
04:57Yes, he's not finding it easy, poor chap
05:00Still Mike's a tower of strength
05:02Oh, and I believe Madger's over there helping
05:04How fortunate, I'm short
05:06Hmm
05:07Dear, I do wish I had time to get to the hospital to visit dear Eileen
05:12Offer her comfort in her hour of need, but I'll be in court
05:17Oh yes, the divorced Mrs Mangle, I am so sorry
05:21Well, with everything else that's been going on, I completely forgot about it
05:25Well, I wish I could
05:26I am positively dreading having to meet Len alone
05:30Oh, no, I really don't think he'll be alone, you know
05:34What do you mean?
05:35Well, I really think he'll drag along that hussy, you know, the one he left you for
05:39Dear, yes, I suppose he will
05:41Well, thank you so much, Mr Bishop
05:44For the tactful reminder
05:47Oh, you know, perhaps I shouldn't have mentioned it
05:50No, perhaps you shouldn't have mentioned it
05:52My nerves are in shreds as it is
05:54Perhaps, perhaps a little fresher, I feel
05:58Come on, Mrs Mangle, come on now, don't upset yourself
06:00You know, men like your husband can be so fickle
06:03One glimpse of a pretty face on the
06:05Well, I mean, she is sure to be younger than young
06:09Really, Mr Bishop, have you no consideration for my feelings?
06:14I don't know what on earth has got into him
06:16First, I get a complaint from Harold that Todd has been extremely rude to him
06:20And then when I asked him to go back and apologise, he straight up refused
06:23I see, did you give Todd a chance to explain?
06:25No, there's no excuse for that sort of behaviour
06:27Jim, I ran into Sally just now and she told me exactly what happened
06:30Harold is not as innocent as he might have made out
06:33Todd, will you come in here, please?
06:40Hi, Beth, hi
06:41Maybe I wasn't fair to you before, tell me about the coffee shop
06:45Yeah, well, we went in there to buy the quiche for dinner
06:48Katie and him all were with me
06:50And we bought some milkshakes and sat down at the table
06:53But there were some doughnuts that the last customer had left behind
06:57And then fa...
06:59Sorry, Mr Bishop comes over and makes a big fuss about taking the doughnuts away
07:03Just in case I steal it
07:05But I didn't even touch them
07:07Why on earth would he...
07:10Oh, hang on a minute
07:11He's still thinking about the time when you did steal the doughnuts
07:13But that was different
07:14Todd, I'm sorry for not letting you explain this before
07:24I'll go back and have a word with Mr Bishop
07:27I think maybe he owes you an apology
07:29Couldn't we just drop it? There's no point in starting a feud
07:32Oh, fair enough
07:33How do you feel about that?
07:34Oh, it's okay
07:34I don't even like doughnuts much anyway
07:36Can I go finish my homework?
07:38Yeah, sure, off you go
07:39Thanks
07:40Another problem, if I want
07:42The thing is
07:44I feel like I've been doing the same thing for 20 years
07:47Solving kids' problems
07:48Would you like me to try to find somewhere else for Todd and Katie to live?
07:53No, no
07:54I'm very fond of the kids
07:56Just that I don't have the patience I used to
07:59Uncle Jim
08:00Can you fix this, please?
08:03It's not working
08:03Just because they've got new batteries
08:05Okay, Uncle Jim
08:07While you're doing that
08:08I'll go and turn on the oven
08:09Not so funny
08:12Nothing, sweetheart
08:13Let me have a look
08:14Let me have a look at it
08:15Thanks
08:17Nan?
08:28What's the matter?
08:30I love this house, Jane
08:31When are you doing it?
08:34It's the home I've always wanted
08:36And they will not let it be taken from me
08:39Nan, it may not come to that
08:40After all, it was Grandad who walked out
08:42Yes
08:43Walked out and left me for another woman
08:45As Eileen Clark had to remind me
08:47But
08:48This home
08:50Is worth a hundred husbands
08:52And if Len thinks that he's going to take it from me
08:55Then he's mistaken
08:57I will not give it up
08:59Thanks for staying
09:08I'm just glad you backed down about throwing Mike out
09:12I don't think he ever would have got over it
09:14Neither would I
09:16Don't know what got into me
09:18I'll get it
09:21Hi, g'day, mate
09:24Oh, it's Desi
09:25Hey, Des
09:27Listen, Gail's reading a novel and won't put it down
09:29So I'm at a bit of a loose end
09:31I was wondering if you and Mike
09:32Want to come down to the pub for a drink?
09:34Oh, yeah
09:34Sounds good
09:35No, no, I don't think so
09:37Come on, mate
09:38Do you good to go out for a bit?
09:41Yeah, come on
09:42Go on, Des
09:43I don't mind staying a bit longer to look after Jamie
09:44Well, just for half an hour
09:48Doing ya
09:49Let's go, then
09:50Hi
09:55Hi, are you just going out?
09:56Yeah, just down to the waterhole for a drink
09:58Oh
09:59Well, I might come too
10:00Is that okay?
10:01Yes, go on
10:01I'll keep match company
10:02Hi, I'm
10:05I'm sorry I sprung this baby's little job on you like this
10:09I was so worried about getting Arlene to hospital
10:11I didn't stop to wonder if you'd mind helping him
10:13Oh, of course I don't mind
10:15How is Arlene, by the way?
10:17Worn out, that's all
10:18She needs a complete rest
10:19Yes, well, make sure she doesn't come back here unless she can handle things
10:22She's very worried about Des
10:23She feels he hasn't accepted Daphne's death
10:25He hasn't
10:27Oh, no
10:29I knew the peace and quiet was a bit too good to last
10:31He needs his bottle
10:32Match
10:33Go home
10:34You've done enough of the clerks for one day
10:36Jamie needs to be fed
10:36I'll take care of Jamie
10:38I'm his godmother, after all
10:39Thanks
10:40Well, I hope Des and Mike aren't too late
10:44I know they said half an hour
10:45But you know how it is
10:46Half an hour at the pub can be like four hours somewhere else
10:49I don't care how long they take
10:50As long as they cheer Des up
10:52Anyway, I'm not waiting up
10:53I'll leave a note to say that I've taken Jamie home with me
10:56I don't think Des and Mike will mind
10:58By the sound of it, they could both use a decent night's sleep
11:01Night
11:01Night
11:02By the way, Mike, you haven't told us how your practice went
11:08Um, it was good
11:09Yeah, I enjoyed it
11:10Did it feel strange being a teacher instead of a student?
11:13Well, I think I related to the kids pretty well
11:15Well, I just can't wait till I graduate and get a proper teaching job, you know
11:18That's what I really want
11:19Well, there's nothing better than doing a job that's really satisfying, isn't it?
11:22I wouldn't know these days
11:24I'd like to get to work in the workshop
11:27And new business keeps coming into the engineering works, sir
11:29Nah, as long as you're making a buck
11:30Well, Ross says they're doing pretty well
11:32He certainly seems to be getting all of the tenders through these days
11:34But you know, Des
11:36How's our bank account looking?
11:39Sorry, man?
11:40Oh, it doesn't matter
11:41We're just talking business
11:43Oh, it must be my shout
11:45Yeah
11:45Um, I'm right, thanks
11:46Tim, wait
11:48Coming up, Paul
11:49Yeah, speaking of Ross
11:50I haven't seen much of him lately
11:51No, no, well
11:53I mean, we never really socialised that much
11:56And he's got his head down these days
11:57He's turned into more of a work colleague than you are
11:59What are you complaining about?
12:00That's the best sort of partner to have
12:02Well, you ought to know
12:04You've got Gail pretty well trained
12:05Here we go
12:06Two driver's beers
12:08Thanks, H
12:09I'll fix you up when we leave, mate
12:10No worries
12:10Now
12:11Want to hear of beauty?
12:12Not if it's your usual standard of J
12:14No, no, no
12:15Listen, this is a ripper
12:16Ready?
12:17What do you call
12:18A movie star who's got no money?
12:20Want to have a crack at it?
12:21Come on, Paul
12:21Huh?
12:24Skin's eastward
12:25Skin, skin
12:28What was it, Joe?
12:31Oh, mate, did you miss it?
12:32Look, I'll run it by you again
12:33No, no, no
12:34All right, look, here's another one
12:35This'll kill you
12:36Henry, I don't feel like you and Jack
12:37I'm sorry, Des
12:40I didn't think
12:41It's not you, mate
12:43It's me
12:44It's me, I might just get in here
12:45Me and my big mouth
12:51You said it
12:53No, no
12:53I'm responsible
12:55I thought bringing him here
12:56would help him take his mind off things
12:58Um, listen
12:59I might just go with him
13:00Make sure he's okay, you know
13:01Yeah, well, I might make a night out of it
13:06Take the ice
13:06All right, take the ice
13:07Good night
13:07Yeah
13:08Thank you
13:08Oh, thank goodness you're back
13:14I was about to call the water hole
13:15to tell you to come home
13:16Why? What's wrong?
13:17What's Jamie doing here?
13:18Oh, Madge was exhausted
13:19so I decided we should take him tonight
13:21But I just got a call from the hospital
13:23Mrs. Xavier's baby's on the way
13:25and there could be problems with the birth
13:26But when will he be home?
13:30I don't know
13:30It could be ours
13:31Now, he's just been fed
13:35but I think he needs a new nappy
13:36There's a bag with all his things in it
13:38in the bedroom
13:38See you later
13:39Fox FM
13:46Are you seeing Emma today?
13:48She goes to the same school as me, Donda
13:50I know, but are you seeing her after school again?
13:54What if I am?
13:56I reckon she's too, um, too old for you
14:00And I reckon you're just jealous
14:01Jealous?
14:02Yeah, because you haven't got a boyfriend
14:04Well, who wants me?
14:06Oh, I do too
14:07Give it down, would you?
14:08Good morning, everyone
14:09You've seen Jamie this morning
14:11He's sleeping like a little angel
14:12It's hardly surprising he's been awake all night
14:15You know babies?
14:17Yes, I do
14:17The trouble is they're allowed to stay asleep all day
14:20while I have to go to work
14:21How long did you get in?
14:23Oh, about three this morning
14:24It wasn't the easiest first
14:26but the baby is gorgeous
14:28Mr. and Mrs. Xavier must be the proudest parents of the year
14:31Good, I'm so happy for them
14:34I'm even more happy that it's them and not me
14:36who have to look after a new baby
14:37Don't you like babies, Uncle Jim?
14:39Of course it does
14:40Let me put it this way
14:41Babies, I like
14:42And I was quite happy to look after Jamie
14:44if it was going to help Des out
14:45But if you mean
14:46would I like another little Robinson running around the place
14:48No, thanks
14:49You survived four babies
14:51Don't you want to aim for number five?
14:52The only thing I'm aiming for at the moment
14:54is the shower
14:55I hope it'll wake me up
14:56More toast, anyone?
14:58Yes, please
14:58Got any plans for today, Des?
15:02What sort of plans?
15:05Well, I just thought you might be going back to the bank, that's all
15:06No
15:08Come on, mate
15:10You've got to face up to it sometime
15:11All right, I will
15:14When I'm ready
15:15Which is not yet
15:16Sorry, I'm going out
15:19Hello, Dad
15:25You've got brought home
15:26Oh, that's right
15:28You had him last night
15:28Yeah
15:29Um, Des, why don't you
15:31spend some time with Jamie today?
15:33I said I was going out
15:34Des, this little boy
15:36has just lost his mother
15:37He really needs some time with his father
15:39Yeah, I'll see him later
15:43Oh, come on, Des
15:43Just play with him for a bit
15:45I said I'll see him later
15:46Don't take it to heart, Shorty
15:52Your Uncle Mike still loves you
15:54I'll have a word with Des later
15:57Now Daphne's gone
15:58The baby needs to form a new bond
16:00It really should be with his father
16:02Well, you've seen what Des is like
16:04He's not interested in Jamie anymore
16:06He won't talk to him
16:06He won't play with him
16:07I mean, he's out most of the day
16:09Where does he go?
16:09To the cemetery?
16:11Where else?
16:12He just sits there and talks to Daphne
16:14Oh, this is terrible
16:16We've got to get through to him somehow
16:18Yes, well, I've tried
16:19But obviously not hard enough
16:20Listen, um
16:23Would you mind just staying with Jamie
16:25till Mrs. Ramsey gets here, please?
16:27Of course, but where are you going?
16:28Well, Des is no good
16:29hanging around a cemetery all day, is he?
16:31I mean, he's got to get his priorities sorted out
16:33I love Daphne too
16:35but we can't bring her back now
16:36I mean, this is where he belongs at home
16:38with his family
16:38Well, I'm going over there
16:40I'm not leaving till he comes back with me
16:42Hello, Mike
16:43Mrs. Ramsey
16:45Oh, dear
16:46More trouble with Des?
16:47It looks like it
16:48Mike's determined to get through to him
16:49I don't like his chances
16:50but I hope he does
16:51This poor little fella's missing a mother and a father
16:54Yes, and there's no way of knowing
16:55why they're not around anymore
16:57Well, until Eileen gets better
16:59we're all going to have to take turns
17:01doing babysitting shifts
17:02Mm-hmm
17:03And give him lots of love and affection
17:05to make his days as normal as possible
17:07It's not the ideal situation
17:09but it's the best we can do
17:19Good morning, Nan
17:20See you all ready for court
17:22I'm quite ready
17:23How do I look?
17:25Terrific
17:26Really smart
17:27Unless
17:29Unless?
17:32No, there's nothing
17:32Jane, if there's something wrong with my appearance
17:35I'd appreciate you telling me
17:37Well, there isn't anything wrong
17:38It's just that you look like money's no problem for you
17:41If you have to make a plea for the house
17:43wouldn't it be better to wear something old?
17:44Don't worry, dear
17:45I know exactly what I'm doing
17:47I wouldn't put it past Len
17:49to bring his mistress with him
17:51Well, I'll show them that I haven't let myself go
17:54and I won't be pleading for the house
17:56Well, Nan, you will have to make a stand
17:57I won't need to say anything
17:59in here, Jane
18:00Mark my words
18:01Nan, what are you up to?
18:04I told you
18:05that I wouldn't give up my home
18:07without a fight
18:08This is my secret weapon
18:11What are you doing?
18:32Go home, please
18:33There's no point in hanging around here
18:35I mean, your son's at home
18:37Your mum's in hospital
18:38You should be visiting her
18:39Just leave me alone
18:40Des, wake up to yourself, will you?
18:42There's no point
18:42Can't you see that?
18:44Daphne's gone
18:45You've got to face up to it
18:46It's clear on
18:47Des, Jamie's at home
18:49He's alive and he needs you, mate
18:51Just go
18:51I'm just going to sit with Daphne
18:52Daphne's dead, mate
18:54She's dead
18:55Mike!
18:56If you don't back off, help me
18:57I will flatten you
18:58Everybody needs good neighbors
19:03Just a friendly way
19:05Each morning
19:07Helps to make a better day
19:12Neighbors
19:16Need to get to know each other
19:19Next door is only
19:23A footstep away
19:27Neighbors
19:32Everybody needs good neighbors
19:36With a little understanding
19:40You can find the perfect plan
19:44Neighbors
19:49Should be there for one another
19:52That's when good neighbors
19:56Become
19:58Friends
