00:18Now war is declared
00:20And battle come down
00:21London calling to the far away towns
00:22London calling to the far away towns
00:22There you go. Now take it easy on here, alright?
00:39He won't know what's getting.
00:43Fresh strawberries just in. Fibre pallet. Fresh strawberries, best in London, come get em.
00:51There you go.
00:58There you go.
01:01What's with the lovely big smile?
01:03I used to bring your grandad over, teas and sandwiches from the flats when it was a shift.
01:08Just nice, it feels right.
01:10Right, well I've got big shoes to fill in, haven't I?
01:12Oh yeah.
01:14You alright? Oi! You're gonna be asking me for them?
01:17Sorry Dad, can I have an apple?
01:20Yeah, of course you can. Here, one day, this'll all be yours.
01:24She's in the Lion King.
01:26That's cheeky.
01:27No, but seriously, not every kid gets a family business to take on after they've finished school, she'd feel lucky.
01:32I'd prefer a job in tech.
01:34Aye aye and clothing. That's how you get rich.
01:36Sorry.
01:38Alright, well you'll have to teach me, eh?
01:42Right, so one o'clock, you're gonna be there, yeah?
01:45Yeah.
01:46Top quality apples, best in London, come and get em.
01:49Right, is that it then?
01:51Yeah, that's it, yeah.
01:53Can we at least not just try and talk about it, Peter?
01:55What should I talk about?
01:56You've made your bed, didn't you, Lauren?
01:57Alright.
02:01Time you go lay in it, hey?
02:07Bye Dad, thank you for the apple.
02:08Pleasure.
02:11Fresh strawberries, come and get em.
02:14So we're agreed then?
02:23Ravi?
02:26Yeah, go on.
02:31Paying staff, that's priority one.
02:34There's no point fighting to keep our heads above water when we've got no workforce and a bunch of pay dispute tribunals hanging over us.
02:39And what about creditors?
02:40Well, they'll just have to wait.
02:43Sorry.
02:45Who put you in charge?
02:46My dead ex-husband.
02:58Listen.
02:59We can get through this, alright?
03:02We just need to hold the line.
03:04And cut back on any unnecessary expenditure.
03:07It says 60.
03:08Do you remember how important that is?
03:10I doubt it, she's ancient.
03:11I still remember mine, though.
03:13Getting drunk off cheap cider, getting felt up by gay waters in the graveyard.
03:17Not helping, Priya.
03:19Never forgot it, though.
03:20And that's my point.
03:22I don't need to throw money at her to make it memorable.
03:24Yeah, money we don't have.
03:25After the year she's had, she deserves the best.
03:29Yeah, and that's really admirable, Ravi.
03:31But right now, we can't afford it.
03:33And whose fault is that?
03:34Don't worry.
03:35I'll sort it.
03:37Don't worry.
03:38I'll sort it.
03:39Don't worry.
03:40I'll sort it.
03:41So what's your plan, then?

08:47yeah but that that is clear that something happened yeah patrons ain't a smack heads it's
08:53running stuff at any man that moves I'm not listening to this you just can't help yourself
08:57can you do you remember what you said to me once Lauren always better to tell the truth
09:01I don't see what the problem is right you wanted a get-out-of-jail-free card well you got one
09:12sitting over there playing with his dinky toys it's my mate I can't yeah mate you just flushed 50
09:18k's worth of gear down the bog he thought he was doing the right thing

09:46it wasn't us that took the gear it was some low lives on the rob who got lucky out of the way mate
09:59give it to me if we're gonna do this might as well do it properly eh go on
10:14Lauren Peter thanks for waiting you've met Izzy one of our eye care liaison officers
10:32I'm here for some practical and emotional
10:36so you've got the results then yeah
10:41the genetic test results show mutation in an eye gene called pack six it's what we refer to as a
10:48random mutation not one inherited from your parents
10:53oh
10:55so this is because of me then because of what I was taking
10:59as far as we are aware opiate abuse hasn't been shown to cause this type of gene mutation
11:05so so I couldn't have prevented this nothing you did could have led to Jimmy's condition
11:17Jimmy's life will be different to your other sons but that doesn't mean he can't live a happy and
11:24fulfilling life you might need some time but Izzy is always here to support you remember you are not alone
