00:00:00Hi there.

00:00:01All right, have you got a minute?

00:00:03Yeah, sure, come in.

00:00:04No, I'll say it's fine.

00:00:06Okay.

00:00:09Listen, I think I might owe you an apology.

00:00:12What for?

00:00:13For making a hash of playing Cupid.

00:00:16What do you mean?

00:00:17Keith.

00:00:19What?

00:00:21Oh, I get it.

00:00:22You pretty much were asking me out.

00:00:23Now, well, I might have just mentioned that I thought you fancied him, you know.

00:00:27You did what?

00:00:27Well, I was only trying to help, you know, get things moving.

00:00:30But I don't fancy Keith.

00:00:31Yeah, well, I know that now.

00:00:33Are you really mad with me?

00:00:35Of course I am.

00:00:36You can't just go around telling people I fancy them.

00:00:39Sorry.

00:00:40I knew you fancied somebody.

00:00:41I just assumed it was him, you know.

00:00:43Well, you assumed wrong, didn't you?

00:00:49Is it someone at college?

00:00:52Go on.

00:00:53You can tell your local's something bad.

00:00:55You don't give up, do you?

00:00:56I know.

00:00:57Well, hey, that's the big secret, isn't it?

00:01:01Not a lad at all, is he?

00:01:03It's a lecturer.

00:01:04An older fella.

00:01:06Go on, I'm right, aren't I?

00:01:09Almost.

00:01:09So, what is a lecturer, then?

00:01:13No.

00:01:16Well?

00:01:20You're right about it not being a lad, though.

00:01:21And it's not some older fella, either.

00:01:27So, who is it, then?

00:01:30I don't know.

00:01:32I think...

00:01:34It's another girl.

00:01:42Now you know.

00:01:43Oh, hello, Beth.

00:01:57Hi.

00:01:57Look, I'll just get those things from upstairs, and I'll see Margaret later.

00:02:01All right, see you.

00:02:02Is Margaret not in there?

00:02:03No.

00:02:04Christmas shopping.

00:02:05Oh, well, I'll call back later, then.

00:02:06I just wanted to practice on the piano for the carol concert.

00:02:08She, er...

00:02:09She might be busy.

00:02:10I'm cooking a chilli for us.

00:02:16Who's the us?

00:02:18Me and Mark.

00:02:20So, you two are an item, then?

00:02:22Hopefully.

00:02:23Look, I want to tidy the place up, so...

00:02:26So you mean leave?

00:02:28You are a joke, do you know that?

00:02:30You were chasing me the other day.

00:02:31Well, there was nothing down for me, was there?

00:02:33What, and there is with Margaret?

00:02:35Maybe.

00:02:36I like her.

00:02:36I won't deny that.

00:02:40Well, she'll see straight through you.

00:02:46Hiya.

00:02:46Hi.

00:02:47Is your mum in?

00:02:48No, she's gone to Rachel's school carol concert.

00:02:52Look, er...

00:02:53I'm sorry for poking me nose in her cause in a ruck with Keith.

00:02:58Have you talked to your mum about, you know, the other thing?

00:03:02Do you really think that I could tell her I'm attracted to another girl?

00:03:05Well, you told me.

00:03:06I'm sure she'd understand.

00:03:08She's got enough on her plate without worrying about me and boys, let alone a girl.

00:03:12Anyway, I don't think anyone would understand.

00:03:15Well, I do.

00:03:17Well, I mean, like...

00:03:18Anyway, you could be mistaken, you know.

00:03:21It might be just a crush you've got on whoever she is.

00:03:24Do you think?

00:03:25Yeah.

00:03:25I mean, when did it happen?

00:03:29When you went to university?

00:03:32Yeah, I suppose.

00:03:33It's about that time.

00:03:34See, I've heard this sort of stuff goes on at universities.

00:03:37Well, you know, them lecturers.

00:03:38I know some of them are, well, you know...

00:03:40Lesbians.

00:03:42Well, I wouldn't have called them that.

00:03:44Anyway, like I said, it's probably just a crush.

00:03:46I've heard it happens, you know.

00:03:48And it's never happened to me.

00:03:50The nearest I got to that sort of thing was wanting me hair cut like Kevin Keegan.

00:03:52Look, I know I'm naff at this sort of thing.

00:03:59But maybe if you spoke to someone your own age...

00:04:01I mean, Margaret, she's your mate, isn't she?

00:04:03No, I don't think so.

00:04:04See, if you watch all this Oprah Winfrey stuff, I mean, you're nothing like the women she has on there.

00:04:09But I don't know what it is.

00:04:12I've just got these feelings.

00:04:14These really strong feelings.

00:04:16And then it made me feel like I want to be nearer.

00:04:19I even think about it when I'm at university.

00:04:22See?

00:04:24I told you, there's nothing to worry about.

00:04:25It's just a crush.

00:04:27Defo!

00:04:27And it'll go away.

00:04:29Trust me.

00:04:31I'm a doctor.

00:04:33Where are you?

00:04:34Come in.

00:04:35Hi.

00:04:37Um, I just wanted to go over the Christmas carols on the piano for last-minute practice.

00:04:41Yeah, fine.

00:04:42Hey, guess what?

00:04:43Keith's just cooked us a meal and it wasn't pizza.

00:04:45Can you believe it?

00:04:46Excuse me.

00:04:47The boat calls.

00:04:48Looks nice and cosy in here.

00:04:53Yeah, I think it's another one of his attempts to win me over.

00:04:57And is it working?

00:04:59Um, we're just good friends.

00:05:01Well, I'll be very careful how close you get to your friends.

00:05:04How do you mean?

00:05:05Well, the other week he was over asking me to go out with him.

00:05:08I knocked him back and, well, looks like it's your turn now.

00:05:11Are you kidding?

00:05:13I wish I was.

00:05:14But you did ask me out.

00:05:20Is this right?

00:05:21You got knocked back by Beth, so now you're trying it on with me.

00:05:24It's not like that.

00:05:25Tell me what it is like, then.

00:05:28You're making a fool out of me.

00:05:29Look, I'm going out.

00:05:30I'm sorry, Mog.

00:05:32Cheers, mate.

00:05:32Look, I hope you don't think I was stirring things.

00:05:44I just thought you should know, that's all.

00:05:48You can't trust anyone these days, not even your neighbours.

00:05:50It's terrible, isn't it?

00:05:52Yes, I've been very let down.

00:05:54Someone must know who it was.

00:05:58Right, well, I'll let you get on.

00:06:00See you later.

00:06:01See you.

00:06:01Bye.

00:06:03Thank God you rescued me.

00:06:05I feel like it's written all over me face whenever he mentions that photo.

00:06:08So he hasn't worked out if Mike has sold it, then?

00:06:10No.

00:06:10I wouldn't like to be in Mike's shoes if he does.

00:06:13Anyway, why are you up so early?

00:06:14I thought you were on Christmas holidays.

00:06:16Oh, I couldn't sleep.

00:06:18Any more hassle from Keith?

00:06:19No.

00:06:20He's keeping a low profile since his failed seduction.

00:06:22Well, I'm not surprised.

00:06:24Where are you going?

00:06:24To the shops to get some bread.

00:06:26So, mate.

00:06:26Oh, well, great, Mike, think alike.

00:06:28I can't get over Keith being such a slag.

00:06:34I always thought it was a bit quieter and more sensitive than other lads.

00:06:37Well, they say the quiet ones are the worst, don't they?

00:06:39I can't believe he was trying to get off the bar.

00:06:40Oh, morning, girls.

00:06:42I was just on my way to remind you about the carol concert later.

00:06:45How could I forget?

00:06:45I've been looking forward to it for weeks.

00:06:47Hey, there might be a talent scout in the orchard so we could end up in the parade.

00:06:50You might be the Christmas number one.

00:06:52Oh, imagine.

00:06:53Well, as long as it's not Cliff Richard again.

00:06:55I'm telling you, with your long fingers and my voice, we could be the next Peters and Lee.

00:06:59Are they?

00:07:01What's up?

00:07:02Oh, Julie was just saying about our Christmas carol concert tonight.

00:07:06What, Peters and Lee playing?

00:07:07No, she's just saying we think we can go far.

00:07:09I've even put my best frock in the dry cleaners because I want to love my best.

00:07:13Are you coming?

00:07:14Well, I'm not sure.

00:07:14Well, it's all around the corner, St Thomas' Church Hall.

00:07:17You could do a collection for Tony's Appeal.

00:07:19Oh, that's a thought.

00:07:19Would that be all right, Julia?

00:07:21Oh, anything to out that poor lad's fine by me.

00:07:24After all, I'm practically a step-grandmother.

00:07:26How come?

00:07:27I was engaged to Cyril Ronsdart and then he passed on.

00:07:30Two years he's been dead this new year.

00:07:32Oh, it's really flown.

00:07:34So, where, how is Tony?

00:07:36Has Mike said anything?

00:07:37Much the same, I think.

00:07:39Oh, it makes me want to weep.

00:07:40That poor young lad, he had his whole life in front of him.

00:07:43Well, he's still got his whole life in front of him, Julia.

00:07:45You never know what's round the corner, do you?

00:07:48No, you don't.

00:07:49I think I've got the right approach to life myself.

00:07:52I'm just like that Lena Martell.

00:07:54I take one day at a time.

00:07:57Yeah, well, I'd better get off.

00:07:58See ya.

00:07:59See ya.

00:08:00Bye.

00:08:00So, what are you doing now?

00:08:03Um, I was just going to go round to Margaret's house.

00:08:05Oh, well, I might as well join you.

00:08:06Don't seem to be not doing anything special.

00:08:08We could do with another rehearsal.

00:08:10Do you really think we need to?

00:08:11We don't want to be able to rehearse, do we?

00:08:13Practice makes perfect.

00:08:15That's the golden rule of show business.

00:08:17If I have to listen to Julia sing that song one more time...

00:08:27Yeah, well, at least we got rid of her fairly quickly.

00:08:29My fingers are down to the bone.

00:08:31And we've still got tonight to look forward to.

00:08:34Yeah, maybe we should get her cocked off with Keith.

00:08:36Yeah, he's pretty desperate for a woman.

00:08:38I can't believe the tea you've given me now.

00:08:40I thought he really liked me.

00:08:41I never realised he was just on the sniff for anything he could get.

00:08:44I thought you'd want to know about him asking me out as well.

00:08:47I'm just glad I found out what it was really like

00:08:49before anything happened between us.

00:08:51You're right, you know.

00:08:52Fellas, who needs a mate?

00:08:58I'm on the landing.

00:09:02What's that, then?

00:09:03Yeah, you look very glad.

00:09:04Well, one has to make an effort for these occasions, doesn't it?

00:09:07Oh, I'd have got dressed up if I don't know when you were.

00:09:09I feel dead scruffy now.

00:09:10You look lovely.

00:09:11Hiya.

00:09:12She's just on my way to yours.

00:09:13I was going to ask your mum to come to this Christmas carol concert thing.

00:09:16You know, it's a chair, you know, like...

00:09:17She's not in.

00:09:17She's gone to some late-night shopping.

00:09:19Oh, never mind.

00:09:20What, down with us?

00:09:22Well, if you don't mind me being a gooseberry, like.

00:09:27He's my lovely young pianist.

00:09:30The lovely and talented.

00:09:31There's Georgia.

00:09:32Now, tea, and then some more carols.

00:09:46I'm totally sorry.

00:09:47It is pneumonia.

00:09:48Better than I thought it would.

00:09:49There was a little old woman on the road.

00:09:50She was crying.

00:09:51Oh, bless her.

00:09:53Yeah, but why was she crying?

00:09:55Hey, I hope you're not referring to my singing.

00:09:57Oh, would I do a thing like that, Julia?

00:09:59Yeah.

00:09:59Anyway, I think we made about 18 quid for Tony's appeal.

00:10:02Oh, that's brilliant.

00:10:03How do you do it?

00:10:05I'll go and get her some teas.

00:10:06All right, right.

00:10:10So, how's it going?

00:10:11Not bad.

00:10:12I've been thinking about this other person,

00:10:13this one you've got a crush on.

00:10:15Look, I know this is hard for you,

00:10:17but if you need someone to talk to,

00:10:18I might not have all the answers,

00:10:19but I'm a good listener.

00:10:20Well, it's not that easy.

00:10:22I can't talk to anyone at the moment.

00:10:24Why?

00:10:26I don't know.

00:10:28I can't help the way I'm feeling.

00:10:30I'm just so confused.

00:10:31Is it because it's another girl?

00:10:33No, it's because I'm scared.

00:10:35I'm scared of how people might treat me

00:10:37if they find out.

00:10:38Well, if it makes you feel any better,

00:10:40I don't think any worse of you.

00:10:42Honest.

00:10:43Honest.

00:10:43I've never felt like this about anyone before.

00:10:48I'm not sleeping properly at night.

00:10:49I can hardly eat.

00:10:51I can't even concentrate at college.

00:10:54I think I'm weird, don't you?

00:10:56No.

00:10:57No, you read about this sort of thing

00:10:58all the time in the problem pages.

00:11:00Look, it's just a crush.

00:11:01You'll get over it.

00:11:02Maybe it's not like some sort of cold.

00:11:05I can't start thinking about it.

00:11:08And when I'm not with her,

00:11:09I feel really down.

00:11:11Yeah.

00:11:13Look, how do you know this other person

00:11:19doesn't feel the same way about me?

00:11:21Sure she doesn't.

00:11:22Well, maybe you should find out.

00:11:24It's not that easy, is it?

00:11:26Well, why not?

00:11:26Why do you think?

00:11:28Look, if you feel so strongly about this other person,

00:11:30then you've got to find out how they feel.

00:11:33No, I couldn't.

00:11:35I like her too much,

00:11:36and I don't want to spoil things.

00:11:38I'd rather just have her as a friend

00:11:39than nothing at all.

00:11:40Well, who says you'll be spoiling things?

00:11:42You might be in for a surprise.

00:11:44This person might feel the same way about you.

00:11:45I should be so lucky.

00:11:47You've only one way of finding out, haven't you?

00:11:50See you.

00:11:50Oh, sorry, man.

00:11:53Here you go.

00:11:54Thanks.

00:11:54What did you want to talk to me about?

00:12:02Well, it's a bit awkward, really.

00:12:05Oh, don't mind him.

00:12:05His nails away.

00:12:06I don't really know where to start.

00:12:14What about the beginning?

00:12:16What's that about?

00:12:16Oh, it's about these feelings that I've got.

00:12:20Oh, this is really stupid.

00:12:24What sort of feelings?

00:12:26I've got to get them out of my system,

00:12:28otherwise I think I'm going to explode.

00:12:29It's okay.

00:12:30I'm all ears.

00:12:30The thing is,

00:12:34I think that I might be...

00:12:39Oh, who's this?

00:12:42Sorry, I won't be a second.

00:12:46Now, it had nothing to do with me.

00:12:48He probably wanted you out anyway,

00:12:50so Penny could have the house to herself.

00:12:51I bet he's using this as an excuse.

00:12:53But he's stupid.

00:12:54It was only a matter of time

00:12:55before the press got a picture of her anyway.

00:12:57I know.

00:12:58She should have let them take one of her straight away,

00:12:59then none of this would have happened.

00:13:02Are you coming?

00:13:03Yeah.

00:13:05Look, I'm really sorry about all this.

00:13:07I'd never have sold that photo

00:13:08of anyone who would turn out like this.

00:13:10It's not all your fault.

00:13:11He's the one that's out of order.

00:13:13Yeah, but I feel last.

00:13:14He should be taking it out on me,

00:13:15not you and Keith.

00:13:17Give me back Keith's stuff.

00:13:18Yeah, I'll take it round to ours.

00:13:20He can pick it up when he gets back.

00:13:21Well, great Christmas surprise

00:13:23this is going to be for him.

00:13:24Yeah.

00:13:25I'll see you later.

00:13:26See you.

00:13:27See you.

00:13:30Well, thanks to that stupid bing,

00:13:32a great white Christmas I'm going to have.

00:13:35What are you going to do?

00:13:37I was going to go back to my mum's on Christmas Eve anyway.

00:13:39I'll just go now instead.

00:13:41Oh, don't.

00:13:42I'll be really bored if you go back to Oldham.

00:13:44What's there to stay here for?

00:13:46I've got no job and I've got no home now,

00:13:48thanks to him.

00:13:50Well, you could come and stay at ours.

00:13:52Nah, your mum would go mad.

00:13:53No, she wouldn't.

00:13:55Thanks anyway.

00:13:55Oh, please stay.

00:13:57Just till you go back to your mum's for Christmas Eve.

00:13:59For me?

00:14:01Are you sure she won't mind?

00:14:03I'm positive.

00:14:05Go on then, you twisted me arm.

00:14:06What?

00:14:11Before Bing the Merciless threw me out.

00:14:13What did you want to talk about?

00:14:14Oh, it was nothing important.

00:14:17It's a bit miserable looking in here, isn't it?

00:14:19Well, at least it's got a bed.

00:14:20That's all I'm bothered about at the moment.

00:14:22I'm shattered.

00:14:23Well, you could have my room if you like.

00:14:24I'll stay down here.

00:14:25No, don't be so daft.

00:14:26You've done more than enough for me.

00:14:28Well, you'll find it more comfortable.

00:14:29No, honestly, I'll be fine down here.

00:14:32Oh.

00:14:34What was that for?

00:14:35Just for being such a good mate.

00:14:37Thanks.

00:14:39What?

00:14:40Like what?

00:14:42I don't know.

00:14:46Your dad must be well done in.

00:14:48What with this and...

00:14:49Look, I'm all right.

00:14:50Have you had a chance to speak with your college friend?

00:14:55No, not yet.

00:14:56Well, make sure you do.

00:14:57Otherwise, you'll never know, will you?

00:14:59Any news?

00:15:01Um, yeah, but it's all bad by the sound of it.

00:15:05Oh, thanks again for all your help, Mrs Shackleton.

00:15:09Oh, me too.

00:15:11Bye, then.

00:15:12Here, I'll send you.

00:15:13Bye.

00:15:17What did she say?

00:15:20Sorry.

00:15:20Happy Christmas and goodbye.

00:15:23As soon as they find the buyer, we're out.

00:15:33What's the joke, girls?

00:15:35Um, we're just wondering,

00:15:37if we got hold of a decent wand,

00:15:38would you sell on top of the Christmas tree for the week?

00:15:41I'll take these all back home again in a minute.

00:15:43Well, it's good, doesn't it?

00:15:45Yeah, spot on.

00:15:46Would you like the honour of impaling the fairy?

00:15:48Okay.

00:15:48Yeah, I'll go and get your mum down, shall I?

00:15:51Yeah.

00:15:54Right, watch it.

00:15:55Mandy!

00:15:56Ooh!

00:15:57Come and have a look.

00:15:58Oh, hang on a minute.

00:16:00Oh!

00:16:00Ah!

00:16:01Ah!

00:16:02You all right?

00:16:06Oh, sorry.

00:16:08What more?

00:16:10Nothing.

00:16:14Nothing at all.

00:16:15You feel something there?

00:16:22Yeah.

00:16:23Listen, I'll be getting off now, aren't you?

00:16:24All right, I'll see you soon, then.

00:16:26Eh, Beth,

00:16:27you know this girl you like?

00:16:31Is it one of your teachers?

00:16:32I never said it was.

00:16:34You did.

00:16:35It isn't, is it?

00:16:37No.

00:16:39It's Margaret.

00:16:42Margaret?

00:16:43How come?

00:16:45Well, that's a bit of a daft question, isn't it?

00:16:47Yeah, but I thought...

00:16:49You thought what?

00:16:50Well, I thought it'd be with a lesbian girl.

00:16:54Why?

00:16:55Well, I don't know.

00:16:56Isn't that what happens?

00:16:57I honestly haven't got a clue.

00:16:59All I know is what I feel in here.

00:17:02But why with Margaret?

00:17:03I mean, she's your friend.

00:17:05So?

00:17:05So she's been engaged to a priest.

00:17:08So what?

00:17:10Well, she likes fellas,

00:17:11and she's your mate.

00:17:12Yeah, but she's more than that to me, isn't she?

00:17:15Are you sure?

00:17:17Are you sure it's not because

00:17:18you're all just mixed up inside me,

00:17:20not with everything you've been through?

00:17:21This has got nothing to do with Dad or any of that.

00:17:24Hasn't it?

00:17:25No.

00:17:25It's to do with me and how I feel.

00:17:29But you can't tell her.

00:17:30Well, you've changed your tune.

00:17:32That's because I didn't realise who it was before.

00:17:35So why can't I tell her?

00:17:38Because I don't think she'll want to know.

00:17:40But it's like you said.

00:17:42If I don't tell her, I'll never know.

00:17:46Beth, don't do this.

00:17:49I'm sorry, but I've got to.

00:17:51Should we?

00:17:56Well, it seems to have to opening them

00:17:58in different houses tomorrow morning.

00:18:00Okay, go on then.

00:18:05Happy Christmas.

00:18:06Happy Christmas.

00:18:07Oh, it's my favourite.

00:18:13How did you know?

00:18:14Can you please?

00:18:15Oh, this is gorgeous.

00:18:24Oh, what do you think?

00:18:25Mmm, it's lovely.

00:18:28Do you like it?

00:18:29Yeah, thanks.

00:18:31Can I pop it on my scarf?

00:18:32I'll do it.

00:18:37Mmm.

00:18:38What time's your mum picking you up?

00:18:40Any time.

00:18:41All my stuff's packed.

00:18:42Excellent.

00:18:43And then what are you going to do after Christmas?

00:18:44I don't know.

00:18:45I'll have to get in touch with Patricia about the house.

00:18:47Do you think she'll let you back in?

00:18:48Not if her dad is away.

00:18:51So you might not be coming back at all then?

00:18:53I'll have to wait and see.

00:19:01Have you got everything?

00:19:03Yeah.

00:19:04My mum should be here soon.

00:19:06Go on.

00:19:09Ah.

00:19:09You will be coming back, won't you?

00:19:15I hope so.

00:19:16Me too.

00:19:18I know it sounds daft, but you're the only real friend I've got around here.

00:19:22I know what you mean.

00:19:23Do you?

00:19:24Of course.

00:19:29No sign yet.

00:19:31Margaret?

00:19:32Yeah?

00:19:34There's something I want to tell you.

00:19:36Better make it quick.

00:19:37I am.

00:19:42There's somebody that I think I've sort of fallen for.

00:19:46You're in love.

00:19:49I don't know.

00:19:51You never said.

00:19:52Have you ever?

00:19:53Well, that's the problem.

00:19:55Come on.

00:19:58Spill.

00:19:59Who is it?

00:20:01It's not...

00:20:02Not from college?

00:20:04No.

00:20:05Who then?

00:20:07It's not Mike or Keith.

00:20:09It's not a lad.

00:20:11A man?

00:20:12What?

00:20:13Is it one of your lecturers?

00:20:14He's not married, is he?

00:20:16It's not a lad and it's not a man.

00:20:22It's a girl.

00:20:29A girl?

00:20:30Oh, you think I'm weird, don't you?

00:20:32No, no, no.

00:20:36Are you sure you've got it right?

00:20:38Yeah.

00:20:40I've been thinking about nothing else for weeks.

00:20:42It's been killing me keeping it all inside.

00:20:45You've got it off your chest now.

00:20:49You're the only one I could tell.

00:20:50Well, I'm glad you told me.

00:20:57My mum.

00:21:09No, don't go yet, please.

00:21:11OK.

00:21:13You don't think any worse of me, do you?

00:21:16Of course I don't.

00:21:18You're my best friend.

00:21:20And I love you.

00:21:25I love you too.

00:21:35No, Margaret, don't go.

00:21:39Margaret, I'm sorry.

00:21:40I've got to go.

00:21:41My mum's waiting.

00:21:42Margaret, I'm sorry.

00:21:50It's all right, mum, it's for me.

00:22:04I was hoping this was the right house.

00:22:05What are you doing here?

00:22:09I don't know, really.

00:22:11He must have come for a reason.

00:22:14I wanted to see you.

00:22:17What do you mean, see me?

00:22:19Look, I've come in this reason out here.

00:22:21It's a bit difficult at the moment.

00:22:24Have you got some mum with you?

00:22:26I don't know, mum.

00:22:26Look, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have come.

00:22:31Eh.

00:22:32I know what you're thinking.

00:22:34I'm not thinking anything.

00:22:36You're thinking I'm going to stand up in front of your mum and start kissing you, aren't you?

00:22:40No, I'm not.

00:22:40Yes, you are.

00:22:41Look, I thought you were supposed to be my friend.

00:22:46I am.

00:22:47Well, how can you be when you're too ashamed to even let me come in?

00:22:51I'm not ashamed of you.

00:22:53Look, I came to talk to you, not to stand on the street and show you up.

00:22:58I like you too much to do that.

00:23:01As a friend, I mean, that's all.

00:23:04There.

00:23:07I'm sorry for upsetting you.

00:23:11I'm just popping out, mum.

00:23:20There.

00:23:24You're walking back to the bus station.

00:23:26Yeah.

00:23:28There's a shortcut through the park.

00:23:31I got lost.

00:23:33Show me.

00:23:38Very much, are we?

00:23:41When you said all the things you said to me last week and tried to kiss me, it wasn't quite what I was expecting.

00:23:52I just felt like I wanted to kiss you.

00:23:56And I thought you wanted me to.

00:23:58You could have asked me.

00:24:00I can't believe it.

00:24:02I felt like a vampire or something when I saw the look on your face.

00:24:04It almost never happened to me before.

00:24:08I didn't stop to think what was happening.

00:24:09I just, I just liked it.

00:24:13So what do you think now?

00:24:15I don't know.

00:24:20I suppose I've been wondering how long you've been a lesbian.

00:24:23Well, it's news to me if I am.

00:24:27Well, if you've gone around wanting to kiss women all the time, it looks that way.

00:24:30I don't go around wanting to kiss women all the time.

00:24:32You know what I mean?

00:24:33I know it sounds boring.

00:24:40It's just, I had all these really strong feelings for you.

00:24:44I never wanted to kiss you.

00:24:47To show you how I felt.

00:24:50Couldn't you have sent me a card or something?

00:24:52You know, something not quite so public.

00:24:56I mean, I was bound to be shocked, weren't I?

00:24:59It's only a few months since you were falling over yourself to get into Peter Harrison's pants.

00:25:02I know.

00:25:04And that's why I don't know how to describe the way I feel for you.

00:25:08It's not like I'm only out for you because you're a girl.

00:25:13I wanted to kiss you because you're you.

00:25:17I don't understand that.

00:25:19I mean, do you mean like because you fancy me?

00:25:22Well, I'm scared to say anything, though, in case I'll frighten you off again.

00:25:27Look, I promise I won't run away.

00:25:32I know I upset you the other day.

00:25:37And I'm sorry.

00:25:40Whatever was going on inside me just went over the edge and then I tried to kiss you.

00:25:44But it's happened now and I can't change it.

00:25:49But I don't want to leave you frightened of me.

00:25:53I'm not.

00:25:53So, will you come back and carry us down to us, then?

00:25:59As a friend?

00:26:03I don't think it'd be a good idea.

00:26:06Look, I wouldn't creep up on you in the middle of the night and jump on you, you know.

00:26:10I've really screwed things up between us, haven't I?

00:26:19Look, if I come back one day next week to get me stuff, we can have a coffee or something.

00:26:26And then what?

00:26:29Whatever.

00:26:32Meaning then we wouldn't see each other anymore.

00:26:34You make it sound like we've been going out with each other.

00:26:38Look.

00:26:39I'm going to get my bus and we'll be worried.

00:26:43Did you have a good Christmas in my hand?

00:26:47Apart from missing you.

00:26:50As a friend, I mean.

00:26:54Look, when you come back...

00:26:56I promise I'll keep a distance.

00:27:06Well, a party people's us three, aren't we?

00:27:08I feel terrible about poor Terry.

00:27:11Doesn't have the best of luck, does he?

00:27:15Why don't we go round to Nick's party?

00:27:18You're all dressed up.

00:27:19We'll go if you come with us.

00:27:22No, I'll be all right here in my own, thanks.

00:27:24After what we've been through this year, I'd rather we could all be together.

00:27:28Yeah.

00:27:29Come on.

00:27:30No one stays on their own for New Year.

00:27:35All right then.

00:27:39What about the lads from the sports project talking to me?

00:27:42I mean, they're fit, aren't they?

00:27:43Surely you must fancy one of them.

00:27:45No, thanks.

00:27:47I was only joking, you know.

00:27:49There must be somebody here that you fancy.

00:27:50You know you are fancy.

00:27:54Yeah, well, I think you're going to find you've got some competition there.

00:28:03You and Keith look as if he's set for the night.

00:28:05I think he only invited me because there's no one else to ask.

00:28:08I'm not an item or anything.

00:28:10I wish he'd come and talk to me instead.

00:28:11Welcome to the Royal Flower Club, love.

00:28:26Cheers.

00:28:27Yeah, same to you.

00:28:28You're off early.

00:28:31Yeah.

00:28:33I suppose it's a long way back to Oldham.

00:28:35I'm not going back to Oldham.

00:28:36I've still got a set of keys to the Farnhams.

00:28:38I'm going to sneak in and stay there the night.

00:28:41With Keith?

00:28:44Yeah, with Keith.

00:28:45I thought there was nothing between you two.

00:28:49There wasn't.

00:28:51What, and there is now, suddenly?

00:28:53There might be.

00:28:56Look, I know what you're doing.

00:28:58I know you want people to see that you're out with a fella and not a girl.

00:29:02Bit of an extreme to go, though, don't you think?

00:29:06See you.

00:29:08Yeah, Happy New Year.

00:29:09I know you're out with a fella.

00:29:39What happened?

00:29:40I don't know.

00:29:41Terry's doing his broken-hearted clown routine.

00:29:43I recognise the signs.

00:29:45Mum should be back any time.

00:29:46She's just taking Rachel to the cinema for a last-minute treat before she goes back to school.

00:29:50Oh, and your last-minute treats for you before you go back to college?

00:29:53I don't know.

00:29:54I might see if Margaret fantasy is going out for a quiet drink or something.

00:29:57I thought you'd have abandoned all up with Margaret after seeing her with Keith at Mick's party.

00:30:01Look, I'm not saying it didn't upset me.

00:30:04I've seen her throw herself at him like that.

00:30:06I did warn you that you'd be going out together.

00:30:07Yeah, but I just think I overreacted.

00:30:10I mean, I know Margaret's only using Keith to prove something to herself.

00:30:14But that she fancies fellas.

00:30:15I think she proved that, all right.

00:30:17Nobody went back to the Farnhams after Mick's party, don't they?

00:30:19They do.

00:30:19Doesn't stop me from trying to get her back as a friend, though, does it?

00:30:23Even if something did happen between them.

00:30:25Yeah, well, it did.

00:30:27You can't know that.

00:30:28I do.

00:30:29Now, don't ask me how I know, because I don't want to hurt you with the details, all right?

00:30:33Well, I can handle that.

00:30:35Just because she's got a boyfriend doesn't mean she still doesn't need me.

00:30:37Oh, Beth, stop it, will you?

00:30:39Just forget about her for your own sake.

00:30:41They're together.

00:30:42It's best if you leave her alone.

00:30:44Well, that's easy enough for you to say, isn't it?

00:30:46But you tell me, how am I supposed to get rid of the way I feel about her?

00:30:49Hey, your mum's worried about you, you know.

00:30:57I know you're upset about this Margaret business.

00:30:59To you, it might just be this Margaret business.

00:31:02To me, it means I've lost a friend.

00:31:04But is that all you want to say it as?

00:31:06Just a friend?

00:31:07I don't know.

00:31:09I think so.

00:31:11I just know that I really miss her.

00:31:14And I've screwed things up, haven't I?

00:31:16All right, I know.

00:31:18Yeah, I know.

00:31:20But listen...

00:31:21Oh, for God's sake.

00:31:23Please don't tell me that you know how I feel and I'll get over it.

00:31:26You know everything, don't you?

00:31:27It's a pity you don't know enough to mind your own business for once.

00:31:30Beth, what is the matter?

00:31:31And you're the same.

00:31:33Why can't you just leave me alone?

00:31:35Beth, love, is it your dad?

00:31:36Is that what's wrong?

00:31:37Oh, for God's sake, it's always got to be about him, hasn't it?

00:31:40You know nothing about me.

00:31:41I hate living here.

00:31:42I could be in London now, but instead I'm stuck in this dump, thanks to you.

00:31:45Oh, she didn't mean it.

00:31:51Yeah, she did.

00:31:52And let's face it, she's right, isn't she?

00:31:54I've ruined her chances.

00:31:55I've ruined everything for her.

00:32:04Beth, love.

00:32:05I'm just...

00:32:06All right.

00:32:07I heard you.

00:32:08Ah, hi.

00:32:13I didn't know you were psychic.

00:32:15Oh, I wish I knew what was going on in our Beth's head.

00:32:18Oh, she's still giving you a hard time, is she?

00:32:20Yeah, can't blame her, I suppose.

00:32:22I am responsible for everything she's been through.

00:32:24Well, you don't know that it's that, do you?

00:32:26One girl's dad is.

00:32:27They're up and down like yo-yos, aren't they?

00:32:29Listen, I don't mean to add to your worries, but...

00:32:31Oh, God, what now?

00:32:33Well, I think I managed to put her off,

00:32:34but the barmaid from the club's been house-open for her sister.

00:32:36And they're interested in this place.

00:32:44Hiya.

00:32:47I, um...

00:32:49I didn't think I should keep this.

00:32:52You were right, we shouldn't be friends anymore.

00:32:55Beth.

00:32:58You're doing this because you think I'm going out with Keith, aren't you?

00:33:01You're doing more than just going out with him, aren't you?

00:33:04We're not even doing that.

00:33:09Okay, so I got drunk and...

00:33:12Well, it was a stupid mistake.

00:33:15Honestly?

00:33:16Yeah.

00:33:19That doesn't mean to say it would be a mistake with any fella, though.

00:33:23I might find a man that it feels right with.

00:33:25That's what I meant about us not being friends anymore.

00:33:30I didn't want to lead you on.

00:33:31I didn't want you to...

00:33:33misunderstand how I feel about you.

00:33:36And how do you feel about me?

00:33:43Just like I always did.

00:33:44I don't know, do I?

00:33:50I don't know, do I?

00:34:50about how you feel about me

00:34:53I just know I've missed you that's all

00:35:38I don't know

00:35:39it's something to do with the roots were affecting the foundations of the house or something

00:37:48it looks great

00:37:49right so what's the plan of action for tonight then?

00:37:51well I think we should start with the coffee

00:37:57I'll take you out for a drink

00:37:58my way of saying thanks

00:37:59okay

00:38:00only if we finish on schedule though

00:38:01of course

00:38:02we'll just go down to Lalouf

00:38:04saves most round with buses doesn't it?

00:38:05right well we'd better get cracking if we want to make it before the shop

00:38:08I told you it wasn't my type

00:38:14well you look pretty and grossed in conversation to me

00:38:17well we're talking about football

00:38:18football?

00:38:19yeah

00:38:19since I said I was from Oldham

00:38:21it started going on about how Liverpool are going to thrash us as it

00:38:24well that must have been very exciting for you

00:38:26is that the only reason you weren't interested in him?

00:38:32yeah why?

00:38:33it wasn't because of me

00:38:34what do you mean?

00:38:37look I don't be knocking back men on account of me

00:38:39I'm not going to give you a hard time or anything

00:38:42I know you're not

00:38:43you can go out with who you want to

00:38:46as long as you don't stop having me as a best friend

00:38:48I just couldn't be bothered really

00:38:51I mean it'd be just like Keith all over again

00:38:53I'd just end up regretting it

00:38:55what do you mean?

00:38:57well imagine if I had got off with him right

00:38:59then he'd have insisted on walking me home

00:39:02then he'd have wanted a quick grope and a snog on the pathway

00:39:04and I'd be standing there going through the motions

00:39:07wondering how I'm going to get rid of him

00:39:08nah

00:39:10I'm glad we left when we did

00:39:12yeah I've had a really good time tonight

00:39:13it's been a laugh

00:39:14hmm

00:39:14I don't feel like going home

00:39:16it's a bit late to go anywhere else

00:39:17I could always stay here

00:39:19could have a gab

00:39:20I don't know

00:39:21I'm not even meant to be here myself

00:39:23oh no no no

00:41:09I'm not

00:41:10and you don't have to lie

00:41:12I don't blame you

00:41:52yes it's important to me

00:41:53I don't want you to be scared of me

00:41:56I don't want you to think

00:41:58that every time we shower a bed

00:42:00I'm going to seduce you

00:42:01I don't think that

00:42:03look if you want me to shut up I will

00:42:06but I can't stop thinking about the way I'm feeling

00:42:10I can't just shut it up all inside

00:42:12that won't make it go away

00:42:13I know

00:42:14and I know I keep going on about it all the time

00:42:17but

00:42:17I just think it's better if we're up front

00:42:20what exactly are you feeling?

00:42:26well nothing's changed

00:42:27I still feel exactly the same way about you

00:42:30I'm happy when I'm with you

00:42:33and I'm sad when I'm not

00:42:34I just want to be with you all the time

00:42:37well that's how I feel about you

00:42:40we're best friends

00:42:41yeah but it's not the same is it

00:42:43why not?

00:42:45because you don't fancy me

00:42:47well

00:42:48I think you're very attractive if that's what you mean

00:42:52yeah but you don't fancy me

00:42:53well

00:42:55you're my best mate

00:42:59I think you're dead good looking

00:43:01so

00:43:02I suppose if I was a fella I'd fancy you

00:43:05yeah but you're not a fella are you?

00:43:06not last time I looked

00:43:08so if you were a fella you would fancy me

00:43:12yeah I think so

00:43:13but because you're a woman you don't

00:43:17suppose not

00:43:17well that's pretty not a fella then isn't it

00:43:20well you might not like me if it was

00:43:22yeah but at least we'd know where to go from here

00:43:25it's good we can be really honest with each other

00:43:30well that's the way it should be

00:43:32why don't you stay here again tonight?

00:43:35no it wouldn't be right

00:43:35why not?

00:43:38well if you want me to be totally honest I wouldn't

00:43:40I wouldn't feel content staying in the spare room

00:43:43Jimmy

00:43:46you know how I feel about you

00:43:49it doesn't just end with me finding you attractive

00:43:53liking your personality

00:43:55I fancy you in the same way I fancied Peter Harrison

00:44:00I want to kiss you the way I kissed him

00:44:04I'm sorry I shouldn't have said that

00:44:11it's okay

00:44:13no it's not

00:44:14I've said too much and I've spoiled everything

00:44:16how can you possibly stay friends with me now?

00:44:21because I want to

00:44:22come here

00:44:25I hate it when you go all sad on me

00:45:35that woman called around again

00:45:37which one?

00:45:38the woman who came to visit the house last week with her sister

00:45:41I think they're gonna put an offer in

00:45:43are you joking?

00:45:45no not Beth

00:45:46looks like that's it

00:45:48it's over

00:45:49this is all my fault

00:46:04the other night

00:46:13the night we kissed

00:46:14good if anyone's listening

00:46:17I'm not a lesbian

00:46:25I know that

00:46:27I mean I just want to make it clear

00:46:28I hate the words

00:46:29I'm not a lesbian

00:46:30I'm not gay

00:46:31you know the thought of kissing another

00:46:34I mean properly

00:46:36kissing another woman

00:46:37it turns me stupor

00:46:40okay

00:46:43but because it was you

00:46:45I know it sort of seemed alright

00:46:49yeah and it seemed alright to me too

00:46:52I mean it didn't make me feel abnormal or anything

00:46:55but it is abnormal

00:46:56it's disgusting

00:46:59I've never fancied another woman

00:47:06never in me life you know

00:47:24well I don't really see what gender's got to do with it

00:47:26I mean people can't help who they fall in love with

00:47:28hmm

00:47:29the thing is

00:47:30the thing that I don't understand is

00:49:55That's a good idea.

00:50:05Well, I used to do it all the time before.

00:50:09You said yourself.

00:50:14Oh, your feet are cold.

00:50:16Sorry.

00:50:17You're freezing.

00:50:18Jump then.

00:50:22Better?

00:50:25I just wanted to...

00:50:29I couldn't sleep.

00:50:34No good eye.

00:50:38I wanted to...

00:50:41I thought...

00:50:46Would you hold me?

00:50:54Are you sure?

00:50:57I think so.

00:51:06This used to feel so easy.

00:51:09I feel really self-conscious now.

00:51:11Oh, is this okay?

00:51:14Yeah.

00:51:17Are your feet warming up?

00:51:19A bit.

00:51:19I feel so confused.

00:51:31I don't know what I'm feeling.

00:51:34I'm feeling.

00:51:41Should we try kissing properly again?

00:51:45I thought you didn't like it.

00:51:51I don't know whether I did or not.

00:51:56I know I shouldn't have liked it.

00:52:04I don't want to.

00:52:05I don't want anything more than this.

00:52:11It's okay.

00:52:13I'm not ready to.

00:52:15You know, this is hard enough for me.

00:52:17I just...

00:52:18I just wanted to see if...

00:52:24Are you comfy?

00:52:29Do you think you could fall asleep like this?

00:52:37I don't know.

00:52:42Oh, sorry, Charlie.

00:52:43I don't know.

00:53:06How long have you been up?

00:53:18Ages.

00:53:19Oh, why didn't you wake me?

00:53:22You were flat out.

00:53:27Beth, I can't do this.

00:53:34Nobody's asking you to do anything.

00:53:37I woke up in the middle of the night like I used to wake up with Derek, feeling...

00:53:44I'm not like that, I know I'm not, it's disgusting.

00:53:50You're saying I'm disgusting?

00:53:51No, of course I'm not.

00:53:54Yeah, well, I think you are.

00:53:56No, I'm saying it's disgusting, this whole thing, the way I felt when I woke up, like

00:54:02I wanted to...

00:54:06Anyway, how long have you been to me on bed?

00:54:10Well, about three.

00:54:15Well, didn't...

00:54:19It was so nice just holding each other.

00:54:23You didn't even like that.

00:54:30Yeah, well, erm...

00:54:34I've got a lecture at ten, I don't want to be late.

00:54:37I'll see you around.

00:54:42I didn't mean to upset you.

00:54:46Are you not upset?

00:54:47Yes, you are.

00:54:52Do you really find me so disgusting?

00:54:54No, I never said that.

00:54:57I've got to go.

00:55:00It's just all this, you know, I can't get my head around it.

00:55:05I don't want to be one of them and...

00:55:07What's the couch?

00:55:08No, listen, listen.

00:55:15We had this teacher at our school, right?

00:55:18Miss Drew, she taught us history.

00:55:21She used to wear men's trousers and have really short grey hair.

00:55:28We used to call her Dykey Drew.

00:55:31We were really mean to her.

00:55:33I mean, all of us.

00:55:34I was as bad as any of them, but...

00:55:36We used to write stuff on the blackboard like Dykey Drew goes with lezzies and really crude pictures.

00:55:43We made her cry once.

00:55:46But she was so...

00:55:49You know, it was so horrible the way she...

00:55:52I don't want to be like that.

00:55:54You're not like that.

00:55:56What am I like then?

00:56:01Why did I let you kiss me?

00:56:03Why didn't Aaron a mile?

00:56:09Why did I like it?

00:56:13Did you like it?

00:56:17Yeah.

00:56:18You don't think that I'm like that, do you, this Miss Dykey Drew?

00:56:25No.

00:56:27Well then, neither of us are.

00:56:33I just want to be dead ordinary.

00:56:36I just want to get married and have loads of kids and just be dead normal.

00:56:40That's what I am.

00:56:41Patricia, well, hasn't she got her keys?

00:56:47Um...

00:56:48I don't know.

00:56:49She might not have.

00:56:50Um...

00:56:51You go.

00:56:52Well, no, you go.

00:56:53I'm not even meant to be here.

00:56:54Neither am I.

00:56:59Just a minute.

00:57:01It's more.

00:57:05I thought we might need them for college.

00:57:06Something about physiology of the respiratory system.

00:57:08Oh, thanks.

00:57:09Where did you find them?

00:57:10In the kitchen, though.

00:57:11God knows how they got there.

00:57:12They're never in these days.

00:57:14Sorry.

00:57:15It's number ten.

00:57:16It's across the close.

00:57:17It's where you live.

00:57:18Mum.

00:57:19Why don't you bring Margaret round for tea?

00:57:21Tonight.

00:57:22That woman, the woman was so interested in the house,

00:57:24she's made an appointment to look round again.

00:57:26Sorry, do you want me there?

00:57:27Well...

00:57:29Not if you've got something else on.

00:57:31Let me know, eh?

00:57:33Thanks for the notes.

00:57:40Alright.

00:57:41I'll get back, I'll get back.

00:57:46So we're going to yours for tea tonight, then?

00:57:48Do you want to?

00:57:51I'd rather you came back here.

00:57:53OK.

00:57:54Margaret, it's the man a day.

00:57:57Margaret, I think we should talk.

00:58:00I don't want to talk about anything serious tonight.

00:58:05I just want a really good night out.

00:58:08Hey!

00:58:09What was that for?

00:58:11I missed her.

00:58:12Oh, yeah, right.

00:58:13Beth!

00:58:14What was that for?

00:58:15I missed her.

00:58:16Oh, yeah, right.

00:58:17Beth!

00:58:18Beth!

00:58:19Who is it?

00:58:21Beth!

00:58:22Mum?

00:58:23Beth!

00:58:24It's Mum.

00:58:25What's the matter?

00:58:26That woman, the one who's so interested in the house, she's going to put in an offer.

00:58:41We've had it.

00:58:42We've got no choice.

00:58:44We should never have buried in there.

00:58:45We're going to have to move him.

00:58:46Oh, thanks.

00:58:47Are you going to be late for college?

00:58:48No, there's some conference rather on today, so it means I've got a free day.

00:58:49Oh, great.

00:58:50What do you fancy doing, then?

00:58:51Well, I should really be spending time with Mum.

00:58:52Oh, you hardly ever get a day off.

00:58:53Yeah, I know.

00:58:54It's just it's business with the house.

00:58:55I think she needs me there.

00:58:56And she's starting to do it.

00:58:57Oh, well, I don't know.

00:58:58I don't know.

00:58:59I don't know.

00:59:00It's just it's business with the house.

00:59:01I think she needs me there.

00:59:02Oh, great.

00:59:03What do you fancy doing, then?

00:59:04Well, I should really be spending time with Mum.

00:59:05Oh, you hardly ever get a day off.

00:59:06Yeah, I know.

00:59:07It's just it's business with the house.

00:59:08I think she needs me there.

00:59:09And she's starting to notice the time I'm spending here.

00:59:10Well, she hasn't said anything to you, though, has she, about me and you?

00:59:11No, of course she hasn't.

00:59:12How could she know?

00:59:13Couldn't your mum buy the house?

00:59:14Well, not unless it waits until I've got my own clinic on Harley Street.

00:59:15No.

00:59:16Oh, I wish you could afford to buy it.

00:59:17I don't like the idea of you moving away.

00:59:18You wouldn't move too far, would you?

00:59:19Well, I don't know.

00:59:20I don't know.

00:59:21I don't know.

00:59:22I don't know.

00:59:23I don't know.

00:59:24I don't know.

00:59:25I don't know.

00:59:26I don't know.

00:59:27I don't know.

00:59:28I don't know.

00:59:29Well, even if she does move far away, I'll still stay here.

00:59:30If I can.

00:59:31What do you mean if you can?

00:59:32Well, I don't know what's going to happen, do I?

00:59:33It's just turned us all upside down.

00:59:34Well, I'm sure it didn't come as that much of a surprise to you, Mum.

00:59:36With the house being a refuge and your dad being gone now, she must have known you'd

00:59:39have had to move sooner or later.

00:59:40She's just worried about the future.

00:59:41That's all right.

00:59:42I don't know.

00:59:43I don't know.

00:59:44I don't know.

00:59:45I don't know.

00:59:46I don't know.

00:59:47I don't know.

00:59:48I don't know.

00:59:49I don't know.

00:59:50I don't know.

00:59:51I don't know.

00:59:52I don't know.

00:59:53I don't know.

00:59:54We're on our own now.

00:59:55She must have known you'd have had to move sooner or later.

00:59:57She's just worried about the future, that's all.

00:59:59Couldn't that Mrs Shackleton help you find a place?

01:00:02Yeah.

01:00:03We're on our own now.

01:00:05Well, perhaps it'll do her good, eh?

01:00:08Getting away from that house, all the bad memories.

01:00:11Why'd it have to be so...

01:00:15You wish you could hibernate all winter?

01:00:18What, miss Christmas?

01:00:19Oh, no, I'd get up for Christmas.

01:00:21Then have a bit of a kick before New Year.

01:00:23Oh, my God.

01:00:24Who's that?

01:00:25I'll be Max and Patricia.

01:00:26Quick, get dressed.

01:00:27They can't find us if you're like this.

01:00:28Well, can't you get them out of the house and I can sneak out the back door?

01:00:29Don't just sit there.

01:00:30Get dressed.

01:00:31Oh, my God.

01:00:32Patricia's going to go mad.

01:00:33I'm not going to be able to explain this as being in bed together.

01:00:34I'm not even supposed to be here.

01:00:35Will you stop running?

01:00:36Oh, my God.

01:00:37Oh, my God.

01:00:38Hello?

01:00:39What's that?

01:00:40Oh, my God.

01:00:41I'm not going to be able to explain this as being in bed together.

01:00:43I'm not even supposed to be here.

01:00:44Will you stop running?

01:00:45Oh, my God.

01:00:46Hello?

01:00:47What's that?

01:00:48Oh, my God.

01:00:49What's that?

01:00:50Hello?

01:00:51Yeah?

01:00:52Oh, I'm sorry if I woke you.

01:00:53Um, Beth just came round for a coffee.

01:00:54Margaret, I presume.

01:00:55How do you do?

01:00:56I'm Penny Crosby.

01:00:57Hiya.

01:00:58I'll be staying for a while, so, um, I'll fill you in on the details when you're ready.

01:01:14Oh, um, just a little fashion tip.

01:01:21You don't suit each other's genes.

01:01:24Oh, my God.

01:01:25Do you think she knows what's been going on?

01:01:27No, of course she doesn't.

01:01:28Well, the genes were a bit of a giveaway, weren't they?

01:01:30Oh, wait, she tells Max and Patricia and everyone.

01:01:33Oh.

01:01:34Oh, did she say anything?

01:01:35No, she just asked me to put the kettle on.

01:01:36Oh, I suppose she's used to having servants.

01:01:37Oh, I don't know what I'm going to do if she throws me out, you know.

01:01:38I mean, finding us upstairs together, it looks so bad.

01:01:40Yeah, but she didn't say anything.

01:01:41Well, we can't give her any reason to talk, okay?

01:01:42We've done enough already.

01:01:43Oh, good.

01:01:44The kettle's on.

01:01:45I'll do it for you if you like.

01:01:46Oh, I'll do it for you if you like.

01:01:47Oh, I'll do it for you if you like.

01:01:48Oh, I'll do it for you if you like.

01:01:49Oh, I'll do it for you if you like.

01:01:50Oh, I'll do it for you if you like.

01:01:51Oh, I'll do it for you if you like.

01:02:03Oh, I'd sooner if you don't mind.

01:02:04I'm afraid I'm a little bored of being molly-cuddled.

01:02:07Oh, everyone's been very kind, but I feel it's time I started, well,

01:02:11doing things for myself a little.

01:02:13When are Mr. and Mrs. Crosby coming back?

01:02:15Not till next Friday.

01:02:17I've decided to risk the possibility of being pursued by reporters.

01:02:20Just to have a week on my own.

01:02:22I don't think anybody recognised me on the train.

01:02:28Um, Mrs. Crosby, I'm sorry you found us here when you got back.

01:02:32If you want me to leave, I can be out by tonight.

01:02:35My mum said she can come and stay at my house.

01:02:37Oh, no.

01:02:38I'm not pushing you out, no.

01:02:39You must stay till Max and Patricia get back.

01:02:41Mr. Crosby threw me out.

01:02:43What's he gonna say?

01:02:44I'm afraid Patricia put her father rather firmly in his place on that one.

01:02:48She told me I was to let you back in.

01:02:50Oh, thanks.

01:02:51Tea, everybody.

01:02:52Um, no, not for me, thanks.

01:02:53I've got to get back and see my mum.

01:02:55Bye, then.

01:02:56Bye.

01:02:57See you later.

01:02:58Yeah, see you.

01:03:02Will you tell Mr. Crosby I sneak back in?

01:03:05Don't be silly, no.

01:03:06Your little secret's quite safe with me.

01:03:08No harm, Danny.

01:03:09Thanks.

01:03:10So is your other little secret.

01:03:13Pardon?

01:03:14That getting dressed in each other's jeans and a panic.

01:03:17I do realise your friends stayed the night.

01:03:19Oh.

01:03:20No need to be embarrassed.

01:03:21I hate being alone in the house at night, too.

01:03:24Can't blame you for having a friend to stay.

01:03:26Tea?

01:03:27Thanks, Mrs. Crosby.

01:03:28Oh, well, let's stop that nonsense right now.

01:03:31Call me Penny.

01:03:32Oh, well, child, come on, Mum.

01:03:36Hiya.

01:03:37Oh, hi.

01:03:38Come in.

01:03:39I was wondering if you fancy going to town later having a look round the shops.

01:03:40Oh, I doubt it.

01:03:41I've got some coursework to hand in.

01:03:42I haven't finished it yet.

01:03:43Oh, well, I best not bother you then.

01:03:44No, you all right for a minute.

01:03:45I know.

01:03:46Look at these.

01:03:47You don't have to learn about gay rights to be adopted, do you?

01:03:51No.

01:03:52I just put some leaflets up in the common room.

01:03:53Nobody saw you, did they?

01:03:54I don't know why.

01:03:55Some people might get the wrong idea.

01:03:56Oh, dear.

01:03:57It's one of the best.

01:03:58for a minute. What are these? You don't have to learn about gay rights to be adopted, do

01:04:05you? No, I just put some leaflets up in the common room. Nobody saw you, did they? I don't

01:04:10know why. People might get the wrong idea. They're quite interesting. There's even a

01:04:15lesbian rights society people can join. I'm not thinking of joining, are you? You don't

01:04:18have to be one to join. No, but everyone would think you were one. Well, I don't care what

01:04:22people think. You should have a right to do what you believe in. So what does this lesbian

01:04:27rights society do, then? Campaign for women to grow moustaches and wear dungarees. Oh,

01:04:32ha-ha. I don't know. I think they just organise meetings and go on demonstrations and things.

01:04:37Demonstrations? What do you mean, like, kissing each other in front of an audience? Oh, you're

01:04:41terrible you are. It's a place you can go for advice if you feel that we're inclined. You

01:04:46get into trouble hanging around with people like that. They're not still in their middle

01:04:49ages. They've stopped burning witches, you know. Put them away now. Why? Well, your

01:04:56wife's coming home. She might see them. Or so. There. You two all right? Yeah, fine.

01:05:03We were just talking. Oh, girl talk. Yeah, you know, lads and that. Typical. Oh, I'll get

01:05:12it. I'll leave you two to it. I was going to say, if you've got anything that needs washing,

01:05:16bring it down for me. Thanks. I thought you were going to tell her what we're really talking

01:05:29about then. I nearly did. You can't tell your mum. I ain't got anything to tell her. I just

01:05:35hate keeping secrets from her. You can't talk to her about me and you. Well, I can talk to

01:05:39her about the way I feel. She'll just think the worst of us. Well, why should she? I

01:05:44know she's my mum, but we're more like sisters. I should be able to talk to her about things.

01:05:48I thought we were going to keep this as our secret. I know, but... Well, I could talk

01:05:55to one of the lecturers, I suppose. Let everyone know she's a lesbian. Why do you have to talk

01:06:00to anybody? Why can't you just write to a women's magazine or something? Because I need

01:06:06to talk to someone who might understand the way I'm feeling. And this lecturer would.

01:06:09She's brilliant. She don't care who knows what she is. She's a lecturer. That's all right

01:06:14for those sort of people. It's not for children's nannies, is it? I haven't been a nanny for

01:06:18ages. I might have to fall back on it one day, though. Look, I can understand you being

01:06:22scared of it. I am myself. I'm not scared of being close to you. I just don't want to

01:06:28walk around with some big label on me telling everyone I'm queer. That's all. Gay, you

01:06:33mean? Gay, then. I'm seeing you later. I, um, interrupted Beth and Margaret earlier

01:06:42on. All right. In the middle of some heavy girl talk. Oh, I see. About men. All right.

01:06:49Mum, we weren't talking about men. Sorry about football, were you? No, we were talking about,

01:06:55um, well, we were talking about relationships. Hey, that's weird, that. Because me and your

01:07:00man were talking about things like that before, weren't we? Relationships? Yeah, in general,

01:07:04like. Well, I was trying to explain something to Margaret, but it was really hard. What was

01:07:08that? Well, we were talking about me and her and the type of people we are. And we're

01:07:13trying to work out what made us the way we are. Oh, that sounds very deep to me. Hey,

01:07:19too much ale made me the way I am. Well, we were trying to work out how other people can

01:07:24affect the way you turn out in life later. You know, like Dad. Or even someone you're

01:07:29close to, like Pete's Harrison. Or even closer like Margaret. Any more sugar there? It's

01:07:34getting a bit heavy, you know. I think you just turn out like you turn out, don't you?

01:07:39I think fate's got a lot to do with it. Well, I'm not sure about all this Kate said I said

01:07:43our business. Why not? Well, I think your mum's only saying that because of all the business

01:07:47about the house being sold. And she's putting that down to fate, and it's getting to her.

01:07:50Well, do you think I could put the way I am down to fate? What way? You mean Slim with

01:07:57dark hair, don't you? Yeah, I suppose. Well, it's all in the genes, I suppose. I've been

01:08:03talking to your mum about the house being sold, and she's got a lot on her mind at the moment.

01:08:06You know what I mean? Everything would be alright if we won the pools. Well, we might

01:08:10stand a chance if we even did the pools. I've been trying to persuade your mum to think

01:08:14about me and her buying this place. Oh, do you think you could afford it? I don't.

01:08:19Well, can anyone really? Well, it's an investment. Tell her it's at least worth a go, eh?

01:08:24Well, it might be worth a try, mightn't it? Oh, well, there's probably no harm in asking

01:08:29somewhere, I suppose.

01:08:34Did you get your clothes for a candidate? Yeah, with about a minute, it's fair.

01:08:38What did you get up to? Ah, nothing much. Watched a bit of telly. Got under pennies

01:08:42feet while she tidied up. How are you getting on with her? Well, she's not the sort of person

01:08:46I'd choose to share a house with, but she keeps herself to herself.

01:08:49Do you want some coffee? Yeah, go on. Is your mum out?

01:08:52Yeah, somewhere. I nearly told her this morning.

01:08:56About us? No, you're alright, I didn't. Sinbad kept on at me house. She's got a lot on her mind

01:09:01at the moment, you know, with the house and that. I don't want you going around telling people,

01:09:05especially not your mum. I came pretty close today. I'm going to have to put a gag on you

01:09:09the way you're going.

01:09:12See you now.

01:09:13I should have said.

01:09:16Can we talk about something different? You're getting me paranoid here.

01:09:20I want to talk about us, though.

01:09:23I think you want to talk about you, not us.

01:09:26Well, do you think I'll find any answers in here?

01:09:29I hope not.

01:09:31We'll know where I'm going tomorrow.

01:09:34Where?

01:09:35To see the lesbian rights officer.

01:09:38Beth!

01:09:39Well, if I can't talk to my mum or my best friend, I've got to talk to someone, haven't I?

01:09:43Why can't we just carry on as we are?

01:09:45Because I don't know how I am anymore.

01:09:47Maybe these people will help me find out.

01:09:50Come in.

01:09:57Oh, hi, Beth.

01:09:58Sorry, I'm just off.

01:09:59Don't tell me.

01:10:00You've lost your lecture notes.

01:10:01No, no, I'm fine.

01:10:02I'm keeping up.

01:10:03Well, trying to.

01:10:04Something you don't understand.

01:10:05No problem, I explain.

01:10:06Only please, not now.

01:10:07I've given up of my time to this place as it is.

01:10:09I don't intend to live here.

01:10:10Sorry if I chose a bad time.

01:10:11I wish I'll come back tomorrow.

01:10:12Oh, no.

01:10:13I don't know.

01:10:14I don't know.

01:10:15I don't know.

01:10:16I don't know.

01:10:17I don't know.

01:10:18I don't know.

01:10:19Why should I come back tomorrow?

01:10:20Oh, no.

01:10:21No way.

01:10:22We've got visitors from Prague.

01:10:23I've got to show them around.

01:10:24Well, they can wait.

01:10:25I'll tell you what.

01:10:26Why don't you turn along now?

01:10:28I'm meeting a friend in the pub.

01:10:29But she's usually late.

01:10:30We can talk as we go if that's all right.

01:10:32Yeah, that'd be great.

01:10:33Okay.

01:10:38Took me ages to get my head round it all at first.

01:10:40No, I think I can see it now.

01:10:41You're worrying too much.

01:10:42Don't miss a lecture.

01:10:43Keep up with the notes.

01:10:44You won't have any problems.

01:10:46Well, not with the work, maybe.

01:10:48Oh, now, listen, Beth.

01:10:49If you're in some sort of emotional mess, I'm not your moral tutor or a student counselling

01:10:54service.

01:10:55I don't have the time or the expertise or the interest, if I'm honest.

01:10:59But there are people far better qualified than I am.

01:11:02I don't think so.

01:11:03What makes you say that?

01:11:05It's just what all the other students say about you.

01:11:07Which is?

01:11:08Well, that you're gay.

01:11:09But you're up front about it and open.

01:11:10I'm open if I'm arsed.

01:11:11I don't have problems with it.

01:11:12But I don't go round the medical school shouting it to the heavens.

01:11:13I wouldn't go down all that well with certain people if I did.

01:11:14No, I'm not saying there's gossip around.

01:11:15I'm just saying that it's kind of known, that's all.

01:11:17Look, I'm sorry I've messed this up.

01:11:18I shouldn't have come here.

01:11:19Beth, no need to get yourself worked up.

01:11:20There's a lesbian group in the university.

01:11:21Why don't you go along to them?

01:11:22Yeah, I did and I came straight out again.

01:11:23Well, they all seem so pallid with each other and confident.

01:11:24I don't know.

01:11:25I don't even know if I am gay, I mean, or what.

01:11:26Anyway, that's my problem.

01:11:27I don't know if I'm gay.

01:11:28I don't know if I am gay.

01:11:29I mean, or what.

01:11:30Anyway, that's my problem.

01:11:31I have to come out.

01:11:32No, I'm not saying I'm gay.

01:11:33I'm not saying I did.

01:11:34No, I'm not saying there's gossip around.

01:11:35I'm just saying that it's kind of known, that's all.

01:11:37But I'm sorry I've messed this up.

01:11:38I shouldn't have come here.

01:11:39Beth, no need to get yourself worked up.

01:11:41There's a lesbian group in the university.

01:11:42Why don't you go along to them?

01:11:43And I don't know.

01:11:45I don't even know if I am gay, I mean, or what.

01:11:50Anyway, that's my problem.

01:11:52Thanks for the help of that band.

01:11:56Bess?

01:11:58Okay, but just five minutes, that's all.

01:12:00Just so my friend gets here.

01:12:05Thanks.

01:12:07Why do you lot always come to me?

01:12:09You see, I won't go into it, but in my case,

01:12:13there's all sorts of reasons why I should turn against men.

01:12:16Maybe how I'm feeling now is just a reaction.

01:12:18What if it is? What difference does it make?

01:12:20Why not go with the flow?

01:12:22Because I feel I've got to know what I am.

01:12:23Why? If you do turn out to be gay,

01:12:26is it going to be shut horror?

01:12:27Well, Mum's not going to like it much, is she?

01:12:29Is that all? Most of this lot have got mums.

01:12:31They've managed to weather the storm okay.

01:12:34What, this is a gay pub?

01:12:36Well, not exclusively, but I feel comfortable in here.

01:12:38No one gets any hassle.

01:12:39Excuse me, here's my friend.

01:12:43Hiya.

01:12:44Hi.

01:12:46I'm sorry, I've got to go.

01:12:48Oh, right, same here. I understand.

01:12:51Just be yourself.

01:12:53And don't worry if your mates don't turn out the same way.

01:12:56They'll still be there for you,

01:12:58if the mate's worth having.

01:12:59Oh, haven't I seen you before in the window at Burton's?

01:13:12No, that joke has me in stitches every time I hear it.

01:13:15Look, I've got to go. I'm late. If you want mum, she's in the kitchen.

01:13:17Yeah, where are you off? College?

01:13:18Yeah, a fun-packed day of cool physiology and biochemistry to look forward to.

01:13:22Oh, thank God I'm just a simple window, clearly.

01:13:24See you later.

01:13:25Bye.

01:13:25Ta-ra.

01:13:25Beth!

01:13:29Hiya.

01:13:30Hi.

01:13:31I wanted to catch you before you got off.

01:13:33Do you want to go for a drink later?

01:13:34Yeah, great.

01:13:35I haven't got, I've only got about a fiver of Majero left,

01:13:38but I just wanted getting out.

01:13:40I won't be finished till late, but I can meet you in town about seven.

01:13:42Okay, whereabouts?

01:13:43Um, outside the playhouse.

01:13:44All right, see you later.

01:13:45All right then.

01:13:46Bye.

01:13:46Have you been here before?

01:13:54Um, yeah, just once.

01:13:56Who are you with?

01:13:57Chris.

01:13:58Chris, then?

01:14:01The lecture I was telling you about.

01:14:03Oh, yeah, the one who said this is a lesbian.

01:14:05That's right.

01:14:07How come you were here with her?

01:14:09We're just talking.

01:14:10She's dead friendly. I thought you'd like her.

01:14:12What were you talking about?

01:14:14A lot of sorts of things.

01:14:16Do you want to talk about us?

01:14:19Um, yeah, we did actually.

01:14:21You didn't tell her anything had happened between us, did you?

01:14:29I can't believe this.

01:14:31You promised it was going to be a secret.

01:14:33No, you're blabbing your mouth off to complete strangers.

01:14:36I wasn't blabbing my mouth off.

01:14:38I needed to talk to someone, someone who might understand you.

01:14:40Yeah, and then what if she tells someone else and they tell someone else?

01:14:43I mean, before we know what all the world's going to know.

01:14:45Oh, you're just being paranoid.

01:14:46No, I'm not. I'm being realistic.

01:14:48I don't want other people knowing about us, Beth.

01:14:51It's too dangerous.

01:14:54Where are you going?

01:14:55To the toilet.

01:14:56How much longer are you going to ignore me for?

01:15:06I just can't believe you've told someone else about us.

01:15:09I told Chris in the strictest confidence.

01:15:12She's not like Julia Brogan.

01:15:13She's not going to go around telling everybody.

01:15:14You mustn't tell anybody else.

01:15:17You've got to promise me you'll never tell another soul.

01:15:20Promise me.

01:15:24Okay, I promise.

01:15:25I'll never open my mouth ever again.

01:15:32Beth.

01:15:36There's two lads at the barrel to dance.

01:15:40Also, what?

01:15:41If it doesn't matter in here, we can be together as a couple of noply minds.

01:15:48Hi, mind.

01:15:51What do you think you're playing at?

01:15:52Why didn't you tell me this was...

01:15:59Because I knew you wouldn't come otherwise.

01:16:01I thought if I just brought you here, you might end up liking it.

01:16:05I can't believe you've done this to me.

01:16:09I'm not interested in a beginner's guide to being gay.

01:16:12Can't you understand?

01:16:14I'm not.

01:16:16You've gone too far this time.

01:16:19Where are you going now?

01:16:21Anywhere away from this, my place.

01:16:22Thanks a lot.

01:16:26To you.

01:16:27Oh.

01:16:29Hiya.

01:16:29Make yourself a little moustache to the moon.

01:16:33How are you?

01:16:36Alright.

01:16:39I guess it's my turn to apologise.

01:16:42And then it'll make it for all.

01:16:45I was really annoyed at you, you know.

01:16:47I felt so out of it in that gay bar.

01:16:49I just thought it'd make you feel as though we weren't alone.

01:16:54And then tell him that lecturer about us.

01:16:56Yeah, no, I'm sorry.

01:16:57I shouldn't have mentioned you to Chris without asking you first.

01:17:00I don't want anyone to know about it.

01:17:02It was gonna be our secret.

01:17:04I don't want anyone to know about it.

01:17:07Sorry.

01:17:07Am I interrupting something?

01:17:08No.

01:17:09Just a girl talk.

01:17:10We'll go upstairs and talk.

01:17:12What about you?

01:17:13You just kind of slipped out.

01:17:16But you told him my name.

01:17:18It's not some sort of witch hunt.

01:17:20You can't be arrested for it.

01:17:22And I don't think they can give you the electric shot treatment either anymore.

01:17:25Don't be funny.

01:17:28No.

01:17:28I didn't mean it like that.

01:17:33I don't know if I am a lesbian.

01:17:37And if I am, well...

01:17:38I don't know how to conduct myself.

01:17:41I don't know what you mean.

01:17:42Well, is one of us supposed to act like a man or something?

01:17:48Beth, I'm me.

01:17:51I couldn't start dressing up.

01:17:53No, I didn't mean it.

01:17:56Well, I don't know what I'm talking about.

01:18:00That's why I had to tell Chris.

01:18:02Because, well, I don't think anyone else could handle it.

01:18:06I think if I told my mum she'd crack up.

01:18:09I don't know why you want to make such a big issue out of it.

01:18:12Just be happy.

01:18:14You've got loads going on in your life.

01:18:16I mean, isn't that enough?

01:18:17You've got uni and your friends.

01:18:20Well, you're doing things.

01:18:23Meanwhile, I'm just sat here clicking my heels waiting for you to come home.

01:18:27But you've got to have your own life.

01:18:28I've got nothing else in my life except you.

01:18:32But I don't want everyone else to know that.

01:18:36They won't.

01:18:38Come here.

01:18:39I hate it when we argue.

01:18:43When do we ever do anything else?

01:18:46Look, we'll start going to different places.

01:18:50And I don't mean gay bars.

01:18:53Just somewhere they can have a laugh.

01:18:57Margaret?

01:18:58Yeah?

01:18:58I'm cooking lasagna and wondered if Beth fancied staying.

01:19:03Um, no, not for me, thanks.

01:19:04I've got to get going.

01:19:05Study to do.

01:19:06Okay.

01:19:06Hello, Beth.

01:19:15How are you?

01:19:16Oh, fine.

01:19:16Good at that biophysics, though.

01:19:18Such a step up from A-level.

01:19:19I bet.

01:19:20How's your friend Margaret?

01:19:22Oh, yeah, she's all right.

01:19:24A hint of doubt in your voice.

01:19:26Well, I took her to that gay bar last week.

01:19:27Let me guess.

01:19:28She was horrified.

01:19:29It's not surprising, really, is it?

01:19:31Well, I thought it might make her feel as though she wasn't some sort of hubbard.

01:19:34I think it's okay, but I'd make her feel like one.

01:19:36Especially if she hasn't really come out, you know.

01:19:38Yeah, well, I'm not sure I have yet.

01:19:41Oh, Beth?

01:19:43Look, uh, I'm the big 3-0 on Friday.

01:19:46Why don't you come along to the party and bring your friend Margaret, if you like?

01:19:50Oh, I'm not sure how she'd react.

01:19:51It's a straightforward birthday party.

01:19:54It's not going to be full of dikey women with shaven heads wearing bibs and braces.

01:19:58And I do have a lot of straight friends as well.

01:20:01All right, then.

01:20:02I'll put an invite on your fidget home.

01:20:03Yeah, you're great.

01:20:04I'll see you Friday.

01:20:08Fine, all right.

01:20:09How do you fancy going to the party tonight?

01:20:10Where at?

01:20:11I promise you won't go mad.

01:20:13But you know that lecturer, Chris, is at her place.

01:20:15I'm not sure.

01:20:16No, well, neither was I, but she said it's not going to be full of big butch women.

01:20:19She said that?

01:20:20Yeah.

01:20:20She had lots of her friends who were straight.

01:20:22Oh, come on.

01:20:23Could do with the night out.

01:20:24You've been stuck in all week.

01:20:25What's she inviting you for?

01:20:26She's inviting both of us.

01:20:28It's her 30th.

01:20:29Well, isn't it just going to be full of dead posh lecturers?

01:20:31No, because we'll be there together.

01:20:33Oh, come on.

01:20:34It'll be a laugh.

01:20:35All right, then.

01:20:36Make it.

01:20:37Happy birthday.

01:20:38Thanks.

01:20:39Shouldn't have.

01:20:41Oh, hello, Margaret.

01:20:42Pleased to meet you.

01:20:43Happy birthday.

01:20:43Come on.

01:20:44I'll get you a drink.

01:20:44Oh, I thought we were the first here.

01:20:50You're joking.

01:20:51My sister Louise kicked it off at about five o'clock.

01:20:54First drink.

01:20:55First in punctured fruit juice.

01:20:57Oh, first in punctured fruit juice, please.

01:20:58Safe for me, please.

01:20:58Oh, can you just help yourselves in a minute?

01:21:00I think it'll be like this.

01:21:02It's good, isn't it?

01:21:03Yeah.

01:21:04Are all these lecturers?

01:21:05I know, thanks.

01:21:06I've seen a few of them in the lab.

01:21:08Oh, I want just any of this lot near a Bunsenberg.

01:21:10There's someone from physiology you should talk to.

01:21:13Oh, wow, can we see him in a minute?

01:21:14Get him now.

01:21:15Once he gets in the wine,

01:21:16he wouldn't know a proton from a tampon.

01:21:18Oh, yeah.

01:21:35I thought she was with you.

01:21:37No, I've been circulating.

01:21:38The good host.

01:21:40Left you here to wander, has she?

01:21:43So, what are you reading?

01:21:45Sorry?

01:21:46Well, what subject are you doing?

01:21:48Oh, I'm not doing a degree.

01:21:50I used to be a nanny,

01:21:51and then I worked for a small advertising agency.

01:21:54I'm just looking for something new at the moment.

01:21:56Diversely talented.

01:21:57Oh, excuse me.

01:21:58Hi.

01:22:03How are you?

01:22:04Finished your rounds, have you?

01:22:06I was just talking.

01:22:07Yeah.

01:22:08Talking to lecturers and Chris,

01:22:10and Chris again.

01:22:11I've been stood here on my own.

01:22:13I'm sorry.

01:22:16I've hardly seen Chris.

01:22:18She fancies you.

01:22:19Who does?

01:22:20Chris does.

01:22:22It's obvious, I mean, she looks at you,

01:22:23especially when she's talking to you.

01:22:25We were talking about work.

01:22:26Don't worry.

01:22:28Look, I came to the party with you,

01:22:29and you're the only one I've entered to do.

01:22:30No.

01:22:37No.

01:22:39I didn't have a proper look, though.

01:22:40I couldn't be bothered.

01:22:41It's all right,

01:22:41because we came all the way into town, then.

01:22:43Oh, I was getting a bit sicker watching Aussie soap operas

01:22:45and Mickey Mouse quizzes on the telly.

01:22:47Henry's mobbing around the place like a right one, isn't it?

01:22:49Oh, it sounds really good.

01:22:50Besides, I wanted to see you.

01:22:52Oh, thanks, button.

01:22:53I know, I know.

01:22:54You can't miss your lectures.

01:22:56So you want us to spend more time together, though?

01:22:58Yeah, and I do,

01:22:59but you know what my timetable's like.

01:23:01I know.

01:23:01Sorry.

01:23:03Look,

01:23:04why don't we go out tonight instead?

01:23:05We can go bowling or something.

01:23:06I ain't got any money.

01:23:08I don't have my chair until Friday.

01:23:09Well, I'll pay for the bowling

01:23:10if you pay for the bus fares.

01:23:12All right,

01:23:13you've got yourself a date.

01:23:15Hi.

01:23:15Thank you for introducing Margaret

01:23:17to the joys of medicine.

01:23:18Hi.

01:23:19No,

01:23:19we're just deciding

01:23:19what we're going to do tonight.

01:23:20Oh, yeah,

01:23:21nothing interesting.

01:23:22Just haven't been bowling.

01:23:23Really?

01:23:23I haven't been bowling in ages.

01:23:25Well,

01:23:25you can come if you like.

01:23:26Don't mind?

01:23:27No,

01:23:27of course we don't do it, Margaret.

01:23:29No.

01:23:30More than the merrier.

01:23:31Right.

01:23:31Great.

01:23:53I thought you had us

01:23:54played for ages.

01:23:55Yes,

01:23:56it must be luck.

01:23:57Come on, Margaret,

01:23:57see if you can match that,

01:23:58then.

01:23:59I'd be lucky

01:23:59if I get one down.

01:24:03Oh.

01:24:04Thanks for asking me out tonight.

01:24:06I'm really enjoying myself.

01:24:07Good.

01:24:11Oh!

01:24:12Rubbish!

01:24:14She's a good laugh,

01:24:15isn't she?

01:24:16Yeah,

01:24:16she's mad.

01:24:19Are things all right

01:24:19between you and Helen?

01:24:21Did things all call right

01:24:22on Friday night

01:24:22at the party?

01:24:23Oh,

01:24:24no,

01:24:24not exactly.

01:24:25They split up.

01:24:26Oh,

01:24:27no.

01:24:31Yes!

01:24:33Beat that then,

01:24:34Jawdash!

01:24:37You're good,

01:24:37he's got...

01:24:38Oh,

01:24:39I can't do this.

01:24:43Look at my score,

01:24:44it's pathetic.

01:24:45Looks like the folks

01:24:46are on you.

01:24:47You want to try

01:24:48doling it harder?

01:24:49Here.

01:24:52That's it.

01:24:53Get lined up.

01:24:55Hey!

01:24:56No coaching,

01:24:57that's cheating.

01:24:58Yeah,

01:24:58well,

01:24:58I need to cheat.

01:25:00Couple of steps forward

01:25:00and give it a bit of welly.

01:25:02Right.

01:25:09Yeah!

01:25:10Not enough,

01:25:11I'm afraid,

01:25:12Beth.

01:25:13Cokes are on you,

01:25:14I think.

01:25:14Yeah,

01:25:14all right,

01:25:15but now I've got it

01:25:15still,

01:25:15so I think

01:25:16with the next case

01:25:16you'll be for the chips.

01:25:21Makes a change

01:25:22being out with people

01:25:23who don't talk work

01:25:24all night.

01:25:24Do you go out

01:25:25with the other lecturers

01:25:25and that a lot?

01:25:26Yeah,

01:25:27there's usually

01:25:27something happening

01:25:28most nights.

01:25:29Of course,

01:25:29it doesn't help

01:25:29living with someone

01:25:30from work.

01:25:31Yeah.

01:25:32Well,

01:25:32yeah,

01:25:32don't suppose

01:25:32we'll have to

01:25:33worry about that

01:25:33any more.

01:25:34I was just telling

01:25:35Beth,

01:25:35Helen's moved out.

01:25:37Oh,

01:25:37right.

01:25:37Yeah.

01:25:39Anyhow,

01:25:39we're here

01:25:39to enjoy ourselves

01:25:40and I'll bore you

01:25:41with my problems.

01:25:42It doesn't have

01:25:42to do with me,

01:25:43really.

01:25:44No.

01:25:45Hey,

01:25:45listen,

01:25:46of you and Beth

01:25:49Here we go.

01:25:50Cokes all around.

01:25:51Thanks.

01:25:53I was just telling Margaret

01:25:54I've had a really good laugh.

01:25:55Oh,

01:25:55good.

01:25:56How do you two

01:25:57fancy a night out tomorrow?

01:25:59There's a guest speaker

01:25:59giving a lecture

01:26:00at the uni.

01:26:02It's over to anyone.

01:26:03There's some crazy

01:26:03Dutch guy

01:26:04who gives a talk

01:26:04on euthanasia.

01:26:06Really?

01:26:07Euthanasia?

01:26:08It's really funny.

01:26:09Hey,

01:26:09if you fancy

01:26:09we could go for a drink

01:26:10afterwards.

01:26:11Sounds good to me.

01:26:13Margaret,

01:26:13it's not just students.

01:26:14It's a public thing.

01:26:15Oh,

01:26:16yeah,

01:26:16whatever.

01:26:17Great.

01:26:18Right,

01:26:18are we going to play

01:26:19for those chips then?

01:26:20Absolutely.

01:26:20That doesn't mean

01:26:24she fancies me.

01:26:25Yeah,

01:26:25right.

01:26:26And I'm sick

01:26:26if I keep asking

01:26:27all these questions

01:26:27about us.

01:26:28What me and you do

01:26:29is our business.

01:26:30We're nothing like

01:26:30Chris and our

01:26:31friends.

01:26:31They're all...

01:26:32They're nothing like us.

01:26:34This is all right.

01:26:34All she's after

01:26:35is some company.

01:26:36Yeah,

01:26:36I wonder what else

01:26:37she's after.

01:26:38Oh,

01:26:38and I suppose

01:26:38it's her fault

01:26:39with Mr. Lasper's

01:26:39home as well,

01:26:40isn't it?
