00:00Music
00:25Why don't you take Joel with you?
00:27You've got to keep it quiet in a loft extension
00:29It's good for him to spend time with you
00:31You're a positive male role model
00:34It's not going to look very professional if I turn up with me son in tow, is it?
00:37Anyway, I've spent plenty of time with him, he's alright
00:40Whatever he is, he needs to steer well clear of Avani
00:43I know, but...
00:47Could you go a little bit easier on him? For my sake
00:50I mean, it was a lot for him as well
00:53I know, I know
00:55And young girls get pregnant all the time
00:59I mean, your mum
01:01This ain't about my mum
01:04This is about your son kicking off because the girl he got pregnant quite rightly decided to have a termination
01:09Oh, aren't I allowed to kick off? Can't I have feelings now?
01:12Yes, yes, of course you can
01:13But...
01:15Don't go shouting about it in the middle of the square next time
01:17Talk to your mates about stuff like that
01:19I mean, that's what's all in the news
01:21You know, encouraging young men to talk about stuff
01:25Yeah
01:27Yeah, it was a big shock for you
01:29Right?
01:31Yes, it's a lot to deal with
01:36I am on your side
01:38Okay?
01:40Not that there are sides, but
01:42I hope you know that I'm thinking of you in all of this
01:47Just stay away from Avani and her family
01:50Right
01:51We don't want any more trouble
01:53Okay, but I just...
01:54Yeah, Vicky's right
01:56We keep our distance
01:58What, you'd be on the stall by now?
02:08Pete's in the morning
02:10I'll take over for him later
02:12In other news, you've talked him into giving you a liar
02:15What can I say? Some of us aren't morning people
02:22Why ain't you eating them?
02:24Stuff on my mind
02:25Yolanda yesterday called me a good soul
02:34I went back to see her after you told me not to
02:36What?
02:40Of course she did
02:42I don't know why I bother
02:43You know she's wrong
02:44Cos whatever your soul is, it is not good
02:46She was struggling to carry stuff
02:48What do you want me to do?
02:49You should leave her alone
02:50Both of them
02:51It's pretty simple
02:53Even for you
02:54You know that thing that's on your leg
02:56It's not a fashion accessory
02:58If the police find out that you're not as reformed as you're making out
03:01You're gonna go straight back inside
03:03Don't go near Yolanda or Patrick or anyone
03:07Eve
03:18Oh, so now you're ignoring me
03:19Oh, I said I need some space
03:21How much more space do you need?
03:23You've had space at the home out of our bed
03:25How much longer?
03:26How much longer?
03:27It's okay just for once
03:28Just please respect my wishes
03:42Yo
03:43You ain't still thinking about Avani?
03:46Oh mate, you wouldn't want a baby
03:48You know Lily hardly comes out now she had Charlie
03:50Who's Vicky to tell me to stay away?
03:53Eh?
03:54She ain't my mum
03:55Yeah
03:56She's got nothing to do with her
03:58I'm going over
03:59I'm gonna tell Avani what I think of her
04:01What if her dad's there?
04:03I'm not scared of it
04:04Well you should be
04:06You got a flat yesterday mate
04:07You know he hung Avani for the railway bridge
04:09Just cause he thought he mugged Avani off
04:11Mate
04:15Me
04:22Priya, please, can you move these cases?
04:25It's not my fault you ain't got enough wardrobe space
04:27It's not a Doss house is it?
04:30Oh sorry, I'll just sleep under the viaduct then shall I?
04:34Or better still, carry on living with the woman who didn't even tell me my own daughter was pregnant
04:43Oi
04:44I don't see Avani, I've got things I want to say to her
04:46Get out now you little runt
04:47I'm the victim here
04:48I'm the one whose kids been murdered behind my back
04:51You've got something to have
04:53You lay a finger on me, you'll be done for assaulting a minor
04:55I think I care about that
04:56Ravi, leave, okay
04:57He's done
04:58I've done nothing wrong
04:59She wanted to sleep with someone
05:00If it wasn't with me, she'd have found some other bloke
05:03Ravi!
05:04Leave it
05:05That's what he wants
05:06She can't hide away forever
05:08Get out!

05:36Hey, she's gonna be alright
05:39I know, I know, it's just

05:44You know, all this with the Varney and the money and the restaurant and...
05:49No, babe, listen
05:50You're gonna pull through, okay?
05:52You always do
05:53Just, just

06:11Thank you

06:13Lovely, thanks
06:14Thank you very much, Chisholm

06:22Good morning, Cathy
06:23Can I have coffee, please?
06:25How's Patrick doing?
06:26Mmm
06:27Still shaking and you won't leave the house
06:29If I'll get my hands on whoever did it
06:31Oh, sorry

06:45Can you please leave it on the doorstep?
06:46I'll be there in a few minutes, thank you
06:51Delivery at home and no one is answering
06:53Patrick is there, you know
06:54But he's too scared to answer the door
06:57Well, listen
06:58You give him my love, yeah?
07:00And, er
07:01This is all mate
07:02That's very kind of you, Cathy
07:04And I will give him your love
07:08Morning, Oscar
07:09Hi, good to see you
07:11Yolandi
07:14If you've got stuff arrived at the house
07:18Do you need a hand carrying it in?
07:20I thought you was helping Peter on the stall
07:22Not till later
07:23But you already helped me yesterday
07:25Yeah
07:26Well, he got off her helping hand
07:28As my name Cora says
07:31But then she goes on about offering the hand of friendship
07:33And having it bitten off
07:35I don't know what she was banging on the bell for
07:37Anyway, but me
07:40I like to be helpful
07:42Well, that would be very kind of you
07:45Because I completely forgotten what I ordered
07:47So you could prove very useful
07:50You know that it was him that helped me with the ironing home yesterday
07:53He's a real good Samaritan
07:55Oh, yeah?
07:56Well, well done to you, Oscar
07:58Lauren would be very proud of you
08:04HMRC closed the restaurant, now I'm gonna be out of a job
08:07I know he's going through it
08:08But why should I suffer?
08:09I'll pay my taxes even if he don't
08:12Morning
08:13Hi
08:14Run out of milk
08:15And I never run out of milk
08:16This really practically has milk on everything
08:17But a lot on my mind last night
08:19Prepping
08:20Prepping?
08:21Prepping what?
08:22My big review today with Mr Lister
08:24Market Inspector
08:25Who's the Market Inspector?
08:27Oh, no, my boss
08:28Area Manager
08:29Overseas, six markets
08:30And two monthly car boot sales
08:32He's retiring soon
08:33So this could be my opportunity to climb
08:35That corporate ladder
08:37You know what they say?
08:38Life's a big game of snakes and ladders
08:40And I have to admit
08:42I've said they're down my fair share of snakes
08:44That's 8-9-5-9-4
08:46So the job you've been doing is going to become vacant
08:49I mean, the only reason I'm asking is because I'm going to be out of a job soon
08:52I mean, walking around the market is going to be a lot easier than 16 pounds an hour at the restaurant, innit?
08:56It's more than just walking around the market, Zach
08:58Sorry, the till is not opening
09:01Ah, no, you need to press 7 and enter
09:03Used to do that when I worked here
09:05Shop Assistant Mark Inspector Area Manager
09:08Really are climbing that ladder, aren't they?
09:11Yeah
09:12Well done
09:13Thanks
09:14Thanks
09:15Guess what?
09:16That quote I just gave
09:26Turns out they've got another job they want me to quote for down in Eastbourne
09:30So I've got to get myself down there this afternoon
09:32Two for one, eh?
09:33Can't be bad
09:34Could be a new pair of trainers in here for you
09:36Congratulations
09:38I'm not going to be back till late tonight, so...
09:42So play nice with Vicky
09:44Yeah
09:45Like she said, we're both in your corner
09:48And she worries about you
09:49No, I don't need her to
09:50Well, you should
09:51She's like a mum to you
09:53Mate
09:57You're too young to be a dad
09:59And I am way too young to be a granddad, you know that
10:02Yeah
10:03Yeah
10:04Yeah, but I should've known about it
10:06Yeah
10:08You should've
10:11These girls, they have all the rights
10:13Listen
10:14It wasn't that long ago
10:16That if you got a girl pregnant
10:17You had to stand by her
10:19You had to marry her
10:20I mean
10:21That's what happened to her nan and granddad
10:22You know that
10:23And then you've seen how they've been at each other's throats ever since
10:28So next time
10:30Use protection
10:31Cause I'm being realistic here
10:33I-I-I can't stop you having sex
10:35But this can't happen again
10:41I went to see your dad
10:42Mate, we agreed
10:44I didn't agree
10:45What happened?
10:46I never saw her
10:48Her mum chucked me out
10:52I shouldn't go to respawn
10:53Go
10:54Don't need babysitting
10:55You give them space
10:57Give it a week, two weeks
10:59Give it a week, two weeks
11:00I'm serious
11:01Yeah
11:02Remember why we left Australia
11:04Oh, it's always my fault, isn't it?
11:06Did I say that?
11:07No
11:08At the time
11:09You told me that you owed me
11:10Well, this is me calling it in
11:12You lay low
11:13And if you see it finally, you don't get involved
11:20I want everyone to see what a great bloke you are
11:22Cause you are
11:23And I am proud of you when you are making good choices
11:27So from now on
11:29Good choices, aren't we, please?

26:06ask any historian they'll tell you
26:08it's not misogynistic
