00:00Biker, oh!
00:16Biker, oh!
00:22Biker, Biker, Biker, oh!
00:30Makes you feel big, does it?
00:33Scaring kids.
00:34Said you'd be back.
00:36The brake cable.
00:37The brick at the grove.
00:38Someone's gonna get hurt.
00:39Well, you know how to stop it.
00:41One job, that's all.
00:43Why do you think I'm here?
00:45Good lad.
00:46It's not fair.
00:47I don't even know what it is.
00:49I will be ten pence back.
00:50How can you talk about money?
00:52It's priceless and you've got a third share.
00:54Aye, to the holy grail.
00:55Really?
00:56What's that?
00:57We've got a jumbo sale.
00:59We all chipped in.
01:00Can you believe someone was chucking it out?
01:02And what is so special about this?
01:04Look on the bottom.
01:05It's Alan Shearer's pencil case.
01:08You've got to face the music.
01:10You said the pregnancy test you did was positive.
01:13You are pregnant.
01:15Will you shut up?
01:16Everything all right?
01:18She's been a right madam over the past two days.
01:20Seriously though, there's nothing wrong, is there?
01:23No, ma'am, I'm fine. I'm absolutely fine.
01:29It's a common name.
01:30There must be loads of them.
01:31There's only one Alan Shearer.
01:33Ah, you know what I mean.
01:34So how much do you want for him?
01:36Only, man.
01:37It's not for sale.
01:38It's priceless.
01:39Go on, take him to the cleaners.
01:41The fiver.
01:43It's a holy grail.
01:44No one sells a holy grail.
01:45You don't even know what it is.
01:47I do.
01:48And I own a third.
01:49Sorry, he comes with it.
01:50And one bat.
01:51Oh, it gets better.
01:52Hey, we should be on the Antiques Roadshow.
02:01You prat.
02:02What did you do that for?
02:03This.
02:04The address of the lad who owned it.
02:05Gosforth Park.
02:06The birthplace of Alan Shearer.
02:09You're late.
02:10What?
02:11Have you given our friends in the blue the run round?
02:13Aye.
02:14Hiya.
02:15Sorry now, I've got to go.
02:16Where's he off to now?
02:17Do you want to go and see Harry here?
02:18Break the ice.
02:19Not this again, Claire.
02:20I'm not in the mood.
02:21You can understand her feeling left out now.
02:22What with you and Liam.
02:23When she was with Ben, I didn't complain.
02:24In fact, come to think of it, I helped her.
02:25Are you sure this is a good idea?
02:26She'll be in my house.
02:27Police this, police that.
02:28Can't take it anymore.
02:29Greg.
02:30He needs teaching a lesson.
02:31I don't understand.
02:32I gave you those drugs I found out.
02:33I don't understand.
02:34I gave you those drugs I found out.
02:35I don't understand.
02:36I don't understand.
02:37I gave you those drugs I found out.
02:38I don't understand.
02:39I don't understand.
02:40I don't understand.
02:41I don't understand.
02:42I gave you those drugs I found on Lenny.
02:43Yeah, I know.
02:44And that was great.
02:45So how come we need more proof?
02:46What did the test say?
02:47Well, I think they've got the wrong label on the jar or something.
02:48You're joking.
02:49And you want me to go back in and do it all again?
02:50Yeah, but we need to go deeper.
02:51If you haven't seen anyone bringing their stuff in, then maybe it's homemade.
02:52I want the dirt.
02:53How am I supposed to find something without one of them getting suspicious?
02:54You'll find a way.
02:55Look.
02:56If all else fails, I can get you something to play.
02:57What?
02:58You've already caught them in possession anyway.
03:26When you sent a panda?
03:27They ought to keep the fast cars for emergencies.
03:29What?
03:30I picked up their chips.
03:31I had to get back.
03:32You've done what you wanted.
03:33No way.
03:34When you just started.
03:35You still doing your go-between bit?
03:37Given that a chance, man, Harry.
03:39She was too busy with lover boy.
03:40Yeah, but when you got out with Ben, she never complained.
03:43What you said?
03:44Nothing.
03:45Yeah, right.
03:46Excuse me, Sian, but you've done counselling, haven't you?
03:50Yeah, but between you and me, there's nothing beats a good chat with your mates.
03:54Not if they're the problem.
03:56You're giving it a rest now, yeah?
03:58Too right.
03:59Hit my blister.
04:00I'm serious.
04:01See you around, yeah?
04:07Now you see him, and now you don't.
04:24What are you doing in me wardrobe?
04:25I went to the doctors.
04:37See that man?
04:38Don't worry.
04:39No names, just information.
04:40What's this mother's meeting?
04:41None of your business.
04:42All right.
04:43What were done?
04:44Split a nail.
04:45No, it's quite serious, actually.
04:46But I wouldn't worry yourself, because I could hardly see it happening with you.
04:51Cher?
04:52What are you talking about?
04:53Just go, will you?
04:54All right, chill.
04:56Meet then, please.
04:58All right, what have we done? Split a nail?
05:00No, it's quite serious, actually.
05:02But I wouldn't worry yourself because I could hardly see it happening to you.
05:06Cher, what are you talking about?
05:08Just go, will you?
05:10All right, chill.
05:12Nathan, please.
05:16Mood swings, page four.
05:18Developing photos?
05:20It's a hobby. Well, a bit more than that, really.
05:23Lenny, there's something I need to tell you.
05:26I'm not really homeless at all.
05:28Then why, sir?
05:29It was a cover story. I've been working for this journalist.
05:32I don't know how to say this. Well, we thought you were a drug dealer.
05:35What?
05:36All these chemicals, you see. You must have known it wasn't drugs.
05:39I don't believe this. I tried to help you.
05:41You were acting suspiciously. I mean, why keep this so secret?
05:44Because it's mine.
05:46You've probably got loads. Family, friends, nice house.
05:49This is all I've got, and I don't want to share it. Not yet.
05:54I'm sorry. I'm really sorry.
05:57Don't be so hard on yourself.
05:59It's what they all think of us.
06:01Druggies, scroungers, criminals...
06:03Please, Lenny, believe us. I don't.
06:05And I think that's terrible.
06:07Well, what can you do?
06:09I know exactly what we can do.
06:11Oh, no.
06:21What do you want?
06:23Mrs Shearer?
06:24You're about ten years too late.
06:26But they moved, did they?
06:27Of course they did. Too good for round here.
06:30Not that we saw a penny.
06:32Right, then. Sorry to bother you, Max.
06:38What did I tell you? Waste of time and money.
06:43Morning, Nicky.
06:44Morning, Matt.
06:46Morning, Dad.
06:47You all right, Greg?
06:48Top of the world. Never felt better.
06:51Makes two of us.
06:52Dad's being put in charge. Every new initiative.
06:55Folks call us. We've had a rash of it.
06:59But every cloud has a silver lining.
07:01Inspector reckons it with my contacts and youth experience.
07:04I'm the man to crack it.
07:15Sorry to bother you. I'm just not getting nowhere.
07:17No problem.
07:18Did you bring it with you?
07:20Well, why do you think we're meeting here?
07:21You sure you're up to this?
07:23Well, it's like you say, I found some then anyway.
07:25So what's the difference?
07:26Eh, we'll make a report of you yet.
07:28So you put it in his room, tip off the police and cover the raid.
07:31Okay.
07:32Eh.
07:34What?
07:35Well, are you sure this is the best way?
07:37I mean, should I try to find more evidence so we can prove it?
07:40We need a result now. He deserves it.
07:42Yeah.
07:44Right.
07:46There we go.
07:50Good luck.
07:51I've got a rush.
07:53No problem.
08:00Come in.
08:04What are you doing, Yak?
08:05Don't ask me.
08:06Do you mind shutting the door, please, Claire?
08:10Right.
08:11Until you two sort out your differences, that door stays shut.
08:21Welcome aboard.
08:22You never come out with us any more.
08:23Oh, I'm sorry. I must have missed it.
08:24When did you ask?
08:25So I've got to chase you now, have I?
08:26Do you see what you've done?
08:27She's given up.
08:28I used to come here when I was your age.
08:29Well, a little bit older.
08:30The Grove wasn't open then.
08:31There used to be a night club.
08:32The Silver Lady.
08:33And what's that got to do with us?
08:34Every Friday night without fear.
08:35Me and a whole gang of mates.
08:36We used to tell each other everything.
08:38And do you know what?
08:39What?
08:40What?
08:41Well, apart from Karen's mum, I don't even know where they are now.
08:42Why not?
08:43You drift apart.
08:44Silly things.
08:45Sally.
08:46I didn't like her.
08:47Oh, you know?
08:48It's like a little bit older.
08:49You're not a little bit older.
08:50The Grove wasn't open then.
08:51Well, there used to be a night club.
08:52The Silver Lady.
08:53What's that got to do with us?
08:54Every Friday night without fear.
08:55Me and a whole gang of mates.
08:56We used to tell each other everything.
08:57And do you know what?
08:58What?
09:00Well, apart from Karen's mum, I don't even know where they are now.
09:03Why not?
09:04You drift apart.
09:06Silly things. Sally, I didn't like her bloke. Charmaine, she broke me lipstick.
09:14Days turn into weeks. Before you know it, I got married and moved away. You've lost touch.
09:21I'd hate that.
09:23Well, if you're not careful, that's exactly what's going to happen to you two.
09:28And take it from me, you'd regret it.
09:33The gear's burnt, yeah? Congratulations.
09:38How do I know this isn't a set-up? You're the expert.
09:41That was different. I called the police because you wouldn't stop.
09:43The grass is a grass is a grass.
09:47Got me a dress.
09:51You're one of us now. I never was. And I never will be.
09:56We sent the video in ages ago. They should let us know when we're going to be on Kelly.
10:00Don't you mean if we're going to be on Kelly?
10:02Think positively.
10:04Can everybody settle down a minute, please?
10:06We've got Sergeant Watson here and he needs to talk to her about hoax callers.
10:13Right, now, before you say it, I'm not singling Biker Grove out.
10:17I'm going round all the local clubs.
10:19Right, who can start me off?
10:21What are the emergency services?
10:23The police.
10:24Yeah.
10:25Ambulance.
10:26The fire brigade.
10:27Yeah, those are the main ones.
10:28OK, why do people make hoax calls?
10:32Because fancy a laugh?
10:34No, because they're sad.
10:36Well, I prefer watching Friends.
10:38Well, I don't think it's funny. I think it's disgusting.
10:41Well, thank you, Regina. I'll sort you out at five or later.
10:44It's great your dad.
10:46Seriously, hoax calls are a real problem.
10:50And I'll tell you why.
10:53What might seem a bit of a laugh actually prevents the fire brigade, the ambulance and the police getting help to people who really need it.
11:01Now, you might think there's about 400 fire engines and ambulances and police cars out there on call, but there aren't.
11:09All the services are on limited resources, and if they're chasing hoax callers, they're not doing their proper job.
11:15Now, you might not need the emergency services very often.
11:17Karen, what are you doing? She'll be sitting down in your condition.
11:19When you do, you want them there.
11:20You stupid idiot.
11:22And if people who don't need it are taking our time, then we can't get to you.
11:26And for anyone who's thinking of calling the police or the ambulance or the fire brigade as a joke, just remember, you could get arrested.
11:40Hi, boss. You wanted to see us?
11:49Are you sure?
11:50Yeah, it all adds up, the leaflets and everything. She's pregnant.
11:53You just don't care, do you?
11:55Who do you think you're talking to?
11:56I came to ask you to keep your mouth shut, but it's too late. You're already blabbing.
12:00You giving us advice on muck spreading.
12:02In case you hadn't noticed, this is serious.
12:04Yeah, so were her and Ben. Did it stop you spreading lies?
12:07Didn't bother you then though, did it?
12:08I might have known you said be unreasonable.
12:10Did you see that? You stood up for each other, like mates.
12:15Yeah, it must have been much on said.
12:17Yeah. We should thank her, you know, enough thought of the perfect way to do it.
12:22Right. If it's going public, we need to act fast. Tell your mum.
12:29What?
12:30Better she hears it from you first.
12:32No, never.
12:33What do you mean? You've got to do some time.
12:36You don't know what it's like, dear. I just want to hide away in a big hole till it all disappears.
12:41But Karen, that's just it. It won't. Do you think I don't know that?
12:46You need checks and scans. You have to think of the baby.
12:49Just go away, will you?
12:54Are they going to keep quiet?
12:56Far chance.
12:58We've got to do something. Come on.
13:00You're ruthless. I'll give you that much. Gets me sacked so the way's clear for her.
13:19What?
13:20Plus, she gets herself a scoop. Tabloid journal plants drugs. Very smart move, Therese.
13:25I had a reason. Drugs killed people and I wanted that stopped. All you wanted was a story to make your name.
13:30Well, so did you.
13:31But I wanted a true story. You knew it wasn't drugs that I found in his room. Just stuff for developing photos.
13:37Even when he found out that you were innocent, he still tried to set you up.
13:41That's the thing with people like you. You look at the fact that I'm homeless and you think I must be a criminal as well.
13:46Well, it seems you're the criminal.
13:56He thinks it's all over.
13:58It is now.
13:59See you later. See you later.
14:01See you later.
14:02See you later.
14:13It's all right. I know.
14:17Karen!
14:19Karen!
14:23Nah, I'm sorry.
14:24Liam Simms. International man of mystery.
14:28See? You'll love it.
14:29No. I hate it. And if you ever disappear off like that again.
14:32That's it. I won't. It's over. Sorted.
14:34Look, I'll take you out tomorrow night in. Surprise.
14:38Go on then, trust me on.
14:40Police. Yeah, there's been a break-in. I can see them.
14:44Yeah. Number one Hempelwood Terrace. Come quick.
14:47You're dead.
14:50What?
14:51Don't pay the innocent with me.
14:52What's going on?
14:53I seen you coming out of me house.
14:54You had to do with Sean. Find that old mate.
14:56You liar. You told me mama was pregnant. You just couldn't wake, could yous?
14:59No, we didn't tell her.
15:00We wouldn't.
15:01Oh, yes, so who else would?
15:03It was us.
15:06Sorry.
15:07We had to.
15:08It was for the best.
15:10And you just called yourselves mates?
15:12Don't worry, Sergeant Watson. It's all under control.
15:33How did you know I beat you?
15:35I looked everywhere else.
15:37I don't want to talk about it.
15:39I'm not shocked or disgusted, if that's what you think.
15:46I'm angry with you.
15:48Angry with you for being so stupid.
15:51Angry that I had to find out from someone else and not from you.
15:54I was scared.
15:56I thought you'd hate us.
15:58This isn't going to be easy, but there's no point looking to the past.
16:02Though I could throttle you for being so stupid.
16:05Now, this is something we're going to have to cope with.
16:09But, if you are pregnant, we're going through this together.
16:14Thanks.
16:16Let's get you home.
16:17We've a lot to talk about.
16:19And I want to arrange another test just to make sure.
16:22Ma'am, I'm scared.
16:24I'm so scared.
16:25Well, they're not going to show our video, and they've been so rude about it.
16:30Instead of sending it again, they'll set the liars onto it.
16:33I don't get it.
16:35Sweet, I'm going to die.
16:37Don't you see?
16:38The videos, they got mixed up, and we got their stupid stunt.
16:41The blue movie got sent to a television programme.
16:44Come on, more ideas. I've got to get on telly.
16:46Being famous, it's not easy.
16:48It's the only way, have also a man get in touch.
16:52I can't think of anything either.
16:54You're useless.
16:57Oh, I can't believe he's still going on about that.
16:59Look, I know it's his.
17:00And so, what if it was?
17:02So he kept pencils in it, big deal.
17:03That's the point.
17:04He was a local lad, he was just like any of the rest of us.
17:06Aye, except he went on to become a superstar.
17:08Look, I went over to the woman's house, and I got the dress that they moved to.
17:11It's a really posh place.
17:13He probably doesn't even live in Newcastle anymore.
17:15Well, there's only one way to find out, isn't there?
17:20We're both worried about her.
17:21If she doesn't get on telly, she's going to make our lives a misery.
17:24What's so important about being on television?
17:26I'm sorry, she made us promise.
17:28Do you know anyone that could tell?
17:30I'd need to know why.
17:32Well, can't tell you.
17:33Well, in that case, I can't tell you that I've got a friend
17:35who's a researcher on a TV show.
17:37Really?
17:38So what's it to be?
17:39Okay.
17:41It's to do with the mum.
17:50Dr Bartlett's ever so nice.
17:53I want to go by myself.
17:54But you're getting your result.
17:56I think you should have support.
17:58I've got that.
18:00I need to do this on my own.
18:02Okay, but don't forget, whatever happens, I'm here.
18:09You probably didn't think so yesterday, but your mates, they did the right thing.
18:15Yeah.
18:16Yeah.
18:19We had a deal!
18:20Oh, by the way, I want to tell you.
18:21Your prince rolled over that stolen gear.
18:23What?
18:24You wouldn't call the police on her?
18:25You did!
18:26But don't worry.
18:27I thought you did alright.
18:29You want us to do more jobs?
18:31It's entirely up to you.
18:32Work for us.
18:33We'll call the police and you'll get locked up.
18:35And some more people around here have little accidents.
18:38Your call.
18:48Mrs Shearer?
18:49Yeah?
18:50Is your son in?
18:51He might be.
18:52Well, I understand.
18:53You must get lots of callers.
18:55Aye.
18:56Most of them with begging letters.
18:58No, no.
18:59It's nothing like that.
19:00We want to give him something.
19:01Fine.
19:02I'll take it for you.
19:04Well, it's only sentimental value.
19:06But we'd like to present it to him in person.
19:08Friends of his, are you?
19:10Well, we certainly think a lot of them.
19:13Wait here.
19:17What did I tell you?
19:18Alan Shearer.
19:19One to one.
19:20Yes!
19:21Oh, come on, Ben.
19:22You've got to believe it now.
19:24This is stupid.
19:25Who are you?
19:27And who are you?
19:29Alan Shearer.
19:31Is that my pencil case?
19:33Ever since my dad won the pools.
19:35He's been going mad.
19:36Throwing everything old out.
19:37I like it.
19:38It takes us back.
19:39No offence, Mr Shearer.
19:41Well, a third of that's mine.
19:47It might be famous Wombat, but he's no gentleman.
19:50I don't expect you to get much sleep.
20:00You're right there.
20:01I bet you I'll never get out.
20:03Out?
20:04What's that?
20:05She doesn't like to be left for more than five minutes.
20:08And then there's the check-ups.
20:10Nappies.
20:11Nights were a surprise.
20:13Even if I've got the time to go, I'd be too tired.
20:19Look.
20:20Can I have him, Shearer?
20:21Dr Barker will see you now.
20:23I think it was a message from Shearer.
20:36Now, would that be the specky one?
20:37Or the one in the number nine shirt?
20:39Fooled me too.
20:40I think what he's trying to say is,
20:42if you want to be a star, don't follow him.
20:44You've got to do it yourself.
20:45And what about getting him a tea?
20:47Would that be okay with Alan too?
20:48Yeah, of course.
20:49Let's go.
20:53Did you see?
20:59What?
21:00In the car that was Shearer.
21:02Oh, rub it in my don't you.
21:06Look.
21:07I know a car's stitched you up.
21:08We're running away.
21:09If he thinks I'm gone, he might lay off.
21:11Me.
21:12Nah.
21:13Everyone.
21:14There must be a better way.
21:15Plenty of time to think about it, won't there?
21:16Well, tell us where you're going.
21:17Sorry.
21:18Liam.
21:19We're mates.
21:20Alright.
21:23How'd it go?
21:24Look.
21:25I didn't mean to sound negative.
21:26She has changed my life, but it's not all bad.
21:27Honest.
21:28Can I?
21:29Of course.
21:30Didn't mean to have her.
21:31Wouldn't do it again if I had the chance.
21:32Which is magic.
21:33I love her.
21:34What are you used to doing here?
21:35We came to see if you were alright.
21:36Well.
21:37Are you?
21:38Are you?
21:39No.
21:40No.
21:41No.
21:42No.
21:43No.
21:44No.
21:45No.
21:46No.
21:47No.
21:48No.
21:49No.
21:50No.
21:51No.
21:52No.
21:53No.
21:54No.
21:55No.
21:56No.
21:57What're you used to doing here?
21:58We came to see if you were alright.
22:01Well.
22:02Are ya?
22:03Or aren't ya?
22:05No.
22:10I'm not.
22:15Yes!
22:16Sons, they have their uses, eh?
22:25Yeah, let's hope you can nip this in the bud before it gets too serious.
22:29This is no laughing matter, Greg.
22:32We got a call about one guy. He rips off old ladies.
22:36We've been after him for months.
22:38He left one old dear in hospital.
22:40And?
22:42He got away while the area car was tied up with a supposed burglary in Hemplewood Terrace.
22:48But don't worry, we'll catch the hoaxer in the end.
22:50I'm off later to listen to the call tapes.
22:53Greg!
22:54So you record them all, do you?
22:56Oh, yeah. Every word.
23:01Hey, that pregnancy test we did was rubbish.
23:04We should get our money back.
23:06User error according to the doctor.
23:08But we followed the instructions.
23:10Oh, yeah. And where did it tell you to drop it down the toilet?
23:14It's weird, you know.
23:16I mean, I could have been a mother.
23:20I could have had a baby.
23:22And you're not? And that's what you wanted?
23:24It's hard to explain.
23:26I just felt a bit empty for a minute, that's all.
23:31But it is good news.
23:34Yeah, it is good news. It's cracking news.
23:37Here we are then, Tom. Have a listen.
23:49This is the one. A regular.
23:53Yeah, there's been a break in. I've seen it.
23:55Yeah. Number one Hemplewood Terrace. Come quick.
23:59Greg.
24:02What are you doing?
24:05Ask Dad.
24:09츠k
24:29You
