00:00.
00:30It's me. Are you sure that Debbie ain't told Kev?
00:45Because he's gutted.
00:47Are you hearing what I've done to him?
00:49Yeah, I know. I know. I love you too.
00:56I'm starving.
00:57I'm drinking some breakfast.
00:59Morning, Deb. Morning.
01:00Well, seeing as it's my fault you filled up an appetite, I think I should treat him.
01:04And Cloddy stayed in in the end.
01:06It's really nice just to spend some time together.
01:08Morning, fellas.
01:09Hey, George.
01:10Morning.
01:11Oh, no, no. It's where I trap my fingers.
01:15You're going to think bad on me, aren't you?
01:17Well, no, I just...
01:19Sorry. My bad.
01:21Try again.
01:21Oh, no.
01:22Oh.
01:25Oh.
01:25Oi.
01:27Rita is absolutely insisting that she can get herself down those stairs.
01:31What's she coming down for?
01:33I reckon she has to bag some sweets up into quarters.
01:35Oh, I can do that.
01:36Well, then you tell her.
01:38I've just been accused of treating her like an invalid.
01:41You know what? I don't watch her on them stairs.
01:43It's like human Jenga.
01:45One wrong step and then...
01:47George!
01:49Hi.
01:49Um, er, what have you got there?
01:52Oh, soup.
01:53Mulligatoni.
01:54Oh, I do like a soup with lots of syllables.
01:56I mean, the word soup doesn't really do it justice, does it?
01:59It's for Rita.
02:00I'm going to hand it to her and I'm going to say,
02:03while that big heart of yours is a beater,
02:06Rita,
02:07and that gorgeous smile is on that face,
02:10sustenance is the key.
02:13Well, isn't that...
02:15Do you think you need a holiday, George?
02:18Do you know what?
02:19I'm going to heat that up for a dinner,
02:22but, um, actually, I...
02:24I need a favour, George.
02:26Come with me.
02:28She'll be down in a second.
02:29I mean, you can give it to me.
02:30It's trite of me to say,
02:32while your heart is a beater, Rita...
02:34Listen, George...
02:35Yeah, I do struggle when it's people I know.
02:37I kind of get caught between being professional and,
02:40well, just being me.
02:43Lovely you.
02:44And you made soup.
02:45It's so kind.
02:47It's just, look, um...
02:48Rita's not...
02:51She's...
02:53Um, she's, uh...
02:54She's not really talking about things yet,
02:57health-wise, yet...
02:59Oh, flippin' heck no.
03:01My big gob.
03:01I am so sorry, Jenny.
03:02Was I not meant to know about...
03:04Well, whatever it is.
03:05Am I allowed to know what it is?
03:06Hey, hey, let's...
03:07Let's not get bogged down.
03:09You know, when you've been...
03:10So supportive.
03:13Oh.
03:16Oh.
03:17Is it, um...
03:19Is it a voucher?
03:20Hi, Christina.
03:21Hello, love.
03:22Free cuddle with every gazette.
03:23Bless you.
03:26Um, so, yeah, sorry, I meant to leave you a note.
03:28Yes, I didn't clean the viewing room, not gonna lie.
03:32Now, when I'm left there on my own,
03:33I start thinking somebody's gonna start knocking from inside.
03:35Well, if that was to ever happen,
03:37and I'm pretty certain it wouldn't,
03:39I do hope someone will be there to hear it.
03:41Well, not our Christina, clearly.
03:43Oh, don't boil it.
03:46The soup.
03:47A gentle simmer.
03:49Hey, listen, just call me if you need me.
03:52Any time.
03:53Thanks, George.
03:54See ya.
04:00Should we get you two to be at school?
04:02Mum's bringing Dad home any minute.
04:03They're stuck in temporary traffic lights.
04:05None are evil and reckons they've nowhere to put them temporary lights,
04:07so they just stick them around and come round town.
04:10Bye.
04:11All right, girls.
04:12All right, there.
04:13All right, mate?
04:15Yeah, I'm all right.
04:16Apart from all this faff now.
04:18Right, girls.
04:20Uh...
04:21All right, just have to be heavy.
04:24Wait a minute.
04:25Right.
04:26Oh, stop that.
04:26Now, you're all right now.
04:27It's OK.
04:28I've got it, I've got it.
04:30Right.
04:31Oh, no, transfer board.
04:33Is he supposed to sit on that?
04:35Oh, hope.
04:36Go on, go to school, both of you.
04:37Go on, we'll manage.
04:38Bye, Dad.
04:39Bye, Dad.
04:40Bye.
04:40Bye.
04:42How since were you and Abbey?
04:44We're talking.
04:46You should worry about yourself.
04:50I'll pop round later.
04:53Roy!
04:53I thought you were off to listen to Chris Packham talking about bats.
04:57Ah, hi, yes.
04:58He is a great bat supporter.
05:00He would be preaching to the choir, as they say.
05:03And, uh, unfortunately, Shona is not so well.
05:06She's going to try and be in my lunchtime.
05:08There's no one else to cover.
05:10Uh, give me that.
05:11Um, I can, uh, knock up a full English with the best of them.
05:16Oh.
05:17So is that a yes, then?
05:18It's a, no.
05:20But what even is this promotion?
05:22Oh, it's a new vodka.
05:23It's a club in the village.
05:26This means banging tunes, free shots, and it's all hosted by a drag queen, Patsy O'Does.
05:30She's been going on about it all week, posting.
05:32Come on, I need wingmen.
05:33I've arranged a date.
05:35Ah, so are you safety mates?
05:37Well, Gemma's working, and, uh, well, James didn't even reply, sir.
05:41No, you're first choice, safety mates.
05:43Well, Glenda's coming.
05:44Yeah?
05:45Although she's only coming to Gorp, because she's convinced that I can't do casual dating.
05:48So I'm going to prove her wrong.
05:50You can't do casual.
05:51You're a stress head.
05:51I can, and I will.
05:54I don't think we need Canal Street on a Wednesday afternoon.
05:58Thanks, but...
05:59Oh, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
06:00Why not?
06:01Yes, Todd, why not?
06:03Well, Canal Street can get a bit chaotic.
06:06Well, I'm on paperwork today.
06:08I mean, chaotic sounds way more fun.
06:10Well, great.
06:12I'm going to have to clear it with George, but...
06:14Yeah?
06:17I need you to sign that, mate.
06:19Hey.
06:20Hey.
06:22I saw you out there with Debbie.
06:24I thought I'd keep a low profile, in case you gave yourself a way.
06:28Gave myself a way out?
06:29One look, and you want to lure me back to a hotel.
06:32Then chuck me out in case she caught you.
06:33I didn't chuck you out, all right?
06:35I just...
06:36I didn't want to know when I had someone in there.
06:39Well, then you ran into him in the corridor, so that went well.
06:42See, I think you love the drama.
06:45So, why don't we risk it again this afternoon?
06:48Only this time, stay as long as you like.
06:51I'm off to the village.
06:52Sean mentioned some vodka promotion or something.
06:54Just need a nod that they can pick up later.
06:57Vodka promotion?
06:58You never know.
06:59I might get lucky.
07:00And as you say, I love the drama.
07:03Hey, Asha, listen, it's Daddy here.
07:05I was thinking of arranging a video call with your brother later,
07:08so let me know when you've had your shit.
07:10Okay.
07:11Bye.
07:17Hi.
07:18Hey, guys, you all right?
07:19What are we all celebrating?
07:31Sean's anniversary.
07:33He and his future husband will remember this afternoon,
07:36the first time they saw each other through a Canal Street crowd and knew.
07:42No.
07:42No.
07:43No, Mary.
07:44Just a bit of casual dating.
07:45Nah, he's kidding himself.
07:46I most certainly am not, I'll have you know.
07:48Actually, my date had a family crisis and bailed on me.
07:52Did I panic?
07:53No.
07:53Did I stress?
07:54No.
07:54I just got straight back on the app and I forged myself a plan B.
07:57Couple of tunes to get us in the mood.
07:59Oh, preloading.
08:00Right, then, are we hot to go?
08:02Yeah, as soon as German gets here to take over.
08:05Oh, you are utterly kidding me.
08:07What, has plan B bailed on you?
08:09No.
08:10Plan A says he's coming after all.
08:13A triangle.
08:14How modern?
08:15No, Mary, a mess.
08:17Cancel Mr B.
08:18Well, you see, if I cancel B and A's a disaster, I've lost B.
08:23If I cancel A and I knock him back and he turns up anyway and he sees me with B, then I could lose both.
08:30A casual dating.
08:32I am being casual, Glenda, proportionately.
08:35Right, show me B.
08:36That's B.
08:40A must be really hot.
08:41Oh, yeah.
08:44Oh, speaking of hot.
08:45Hello, handsome.
08:46Hey, what have I missed?
08:47It's up one of these.
08:48Could I make a little suggestion?
08:51Oh, here we go.
08:52So you have them both turn up, right?
08:54And then we all take a vote.
08:58Could be more casual than that, you know.
09:00You pick one, you let the other one down.
09:02Go on.
09:03It's like I'm with you.
09:04I mean, I've got my John this afternoon and I'm an excellent judge of character.
09:08Got the judge a bit right.
09:09Oh, I've missed shots.
09:11Oh, come on then, you're round, love.
09:12I've also missed Sean's dilemma.
09:14Two men, one date.
09:15Ah.
09:16Show me the spear.
09:17I'm in the mood.
09:18Pause off right you, glad rags.
09:20Hurry up.
09:22Does that mean we get to vote on your suitors?
09:25Absolutely, Mary.
09:26A or B, A or B.
09:28I'm going to get some more.
09:29Come on.
09:30Could possibly go wrong.
09:34I make a mean carbonara, why?
09:37Mum, I'm organising a road check, but I'm going to check with Jenny first.
09:41about Rita's dietary requirements.
09:43You're still here.
09:45Shona phoned her.
09:46She's still under the weather.
09:47You should have contacted me.
09:48Well, I tried your mobile, but you didn't respond.
09:50I fear I was seduced by Chris Packham.
09:53Oh.
09:56But cooking for Rita?
09:59Yeah.
09:59Just take a bit of pressure off Jenny.
10:01I thought if we cooked a meal, say, every other day.
10:05Maybe I should tear a ligament if it means you organising meals on wheels for me.
10:10It's a bit more serious than that, Brian.
10:12Is it?
10:14The hospital?
10:15She had a scan.
10:16A torn ligament in her ankle and a cobb on.
10:19That's all Rita's got.
10:20It's a fund to give you the edge.
10:32But how much is in there?
10:33Oh, well, enough for fancy meals for two, taxis home.
10:38I can't take this.
10:41Listen.
10:42George is a good'un.
10:44But that Christina, she's a schemer.
10:47I'm levelling the playing fields.
10:49You put that safe.
10:53Hello.
10:56Rita.
10:57Yes?
10:58Pardon my directness, but how are you?
11:01On a scale of, say, one to terminally ill.
11:04Is it out of ten?
11:06Yeah.
11:07With ten being terminal.
11:08Oh.
11:09How about three?
11:12Three out of ten.
11:13I'll live.
11:19The suit was lovely, by the way.
11:22Oh.
11:22Why do I think there's some that I should know?
11:40Are they here?
11:41Where are they?
11:42Dates.
11:42We should scatter.
11:44I'll set up a WhatsApp group so that we can share intel.
11:47No, Mary.
11:47No.
11:48Just no.
11:49But they're not here yet.
11:50Neither of them are.
11:51He's getting stressed already, isn't he?
11:52No, I'm not.
11:54I just thought we might get some free shots of vodka in before, you know, we get going.
11:58Shouldn't the promotion have started by now?
11:59I'm not sure vodka shots will be your friend if you're juggling dates, Sean.
12:03I bet you're glad you invited up Miss Vibe Killer now, aren't you, though?
12:06Come on, let's go and get a little buddy.
12:08Woo-hoo!
12:09If we have to pay for our drinks, I'm going to sue Sean.
12:12It's got zero in the false pretenses.
12:14Well, I'd much prefer a pint of anyone, to be honest.
12:17This can't be any worse than the drag night in the Rovers, can it?
12:20Well, you had a lot on your plate.
12:22Oh, true.
12:23I'm not a big fan of drag anywhere, to be honest with you.
12:25Well, you've come to the right place, then.
12:27Are you Patty O'Doge?
12:29Do I look like a drag queen?
12:31Carol!
12:33It's Glenda.
12:35I gave Malcolm John tablets and the cruise ship summer school out of Portsmouth.
12:39Oh, well, maybe you should have taught him not to land his mother in the lurch when he's got a promotion.
12:44Okay.
12:44Patty O'Doge.
12:46That's Malcolm!
12:48Oh!
12:49I knew he'd come good.
12:51Hey, where is he?
12:52Oh, it's shit, Sue Missy.
12:55She swallowed a yo-yo.
12:57Oh!
12:57Still at the bet.
12:58She said if he's not back by three, I'm the standing.
13:02Well, it's quarter past three already.
13:03I can tell the time, sweetheart.
13:06I mean, I'm not a shot girl type of bird.
13:09I mean, look at this.
13:12And the costumes.
13:14I mean, I should be behind that bar, not on a stage.
13:17I can't think of anything I'd rather do less than funnel-free vodka down the gullets of a baying crown to Aty Pop.
13:25I can't think of anything I'd love to do more.
13:30He's just so lovely to me and concerned.
13:33That's because you lied to him.
13:35No, I didn't lie.
13:35I just let him assume.
13:38You're as bad as Christina.
13:39No, no, that's different.
13:41She's...
13:42Well, you said it, didn't you?
13:43She's a schemer.
13:44And what are you?
13:45Well, I'm...
13:46I'm a sad, lonely fool.
13:53And he made me feel...
13:55Well, it sounds stupid to say it now.
13:58Go on.
13:59He made me feel seen and cared about.
14:01Like he sees somebody different than what I see when I look in the mirror.
14:06Oh, give over.
14:07No, I'm serious.
14:08I used to know who I was.
14:10Pulling pints.
14:12Sparring with Daisy.
14:14Coming in here to get the gossip.
14:17I knew everyone's tipple.
14:20I could stop a fight from brewing.
14:22I knew what number total eclipse of the heart was on the jukebox for when I wiped down before lights out.
14:30C7.
14:30And now what do I do?
14:33I screw the lids off sweets.
14:35And I'm sorry, Rita, but life is too short for weighing out bonbons.
14:40I'd say life's too short for lying to good people.
14:46Yeah.
14:47I'll get you the money.
14:49Do you still want him then, George?
14:52Because if you do, I suggest you start with an apology.
14:57I don't know.
14:58I don't know.
15:00I mean, I like him.
15:04And, you know, I do, I wish that I really did want him, because like you say, he's a good man.
15:09But I know what I'm like.
15:10And I'll get bored and I'll try and change him into something more exciting.
15:15But Christina doesn't deserve him, I know that much for sure.
15:19Well, that's not a good reason to try and snare him.
15:23No.
15:24No.
15:25No.
15:25And I still think you should apologise for the way you've behaved.
15:30And not just to George.
15:32I'm sorry, Rita.
15:37There you go.
15:39So we'd go on school trips and everyone would have to take a snack that they really didn't like.
15:43Ah, but you see here, it's a fatal flaw in your plans, Sienna, because you might be able to resist the fig roll, but if Arsha sees these, you're not seeing any of them for crumbs.
15:51Hmm, it's hard for the heads up.
15:53Right, I'll score something else for when she comes back to work.
15:56Yeah, let me know.
15:58And when she comes back?
15:59Yeah.
16:00Yeah, she's still off.
16:02You knew that, right?
16:04Yeah, yeah, it's just a senior moment.
16:09Right, I'll see you later.
16:10Yeah.
16:10Yeah.
16:14Woo!
16:17Raise up high!
16:19Hiya!
16:20Wait for it, wait for it!
16:22Ja-da-da-da-da-da-da-da!
16:25Man!
16:26I feel like a woman!
16:28Woo!
16:29Put hands in the air if you'd like a refill, please!
16:34Right, right, okay, that's Aidan, and he's in the village, he's going to come and meet us.
16:39Is Aidan A?
16:40No, Aidan's B.
16:42Benji's A.
16:43Oh, that's him, he's saying he's in a cab.
16:46Back of a cab, he'll be here in five minutes, he's going to come and meet us and all.
16:49Right, okay.
16:49I'm going to go and get Glenda off the stage.
16:52Can we not just stick to A and B?
16:53I mean, it's confusing.
16:54Why wouldn't Aidan be A?
16:56I don't think I'm going to wait for one of Sean's leftovers.
16:58I'll find my own.
16:59Well, nobody's safe, eh?
17:01Absolutely nobody.
17:02I think you look like a pimp-up snake.
17:16Do you think this is a nice snake, actually?
17:18I'm talking to the boat.
17:19I'll shut up, you.
17:24Oh, no.
17:24How's Missy?
17:25Oh, 500 quid and that yo-yo, never climb its tree again.

22:59oh did I
23:00yeah that last time
23:01when I ran from the flat
23:02with no coat
23:03no shoes
23:04you never even asked what happened
23:05you never checked
23:06oh because you did it for attention
23:07is that why
23:08this nurse
23:10found me at a bus stop
23:11I didn't believe in a story about how I locked myself out
23:14oh right
23:15and did you tell him that you've been drinking
23:16you recognised the pattern
23:19self blame
23:21shame
23:22excuses
23:23and you made me get help
23:25so that I realised what it was you were doing
23:28how you'd always blame the church
23:29and the conversion therapy
23:30so that I'd forgive you
23:31oh right
23:32so we're saying what
23:33hang on
23:34so you're saying that conversion therapy
23:35well that that didn't happen
23:36what
23:37and now I'm a gaslighter
23:38it happened
23:40but guess what I think
23:42he'd been through it too
23:43the nurse
23:44and the support group he was in
23:46all survived the same thing
23:48and no one
23:49not one
23:50turned out like you
23:53depression
23:54yeah
23:55all kinds of shame
23:56to work through
23:58suicide thoughts
24:00relentless
24:01but they didn't treat people the way that you treated me
24:06it's not the church that did that Theo
24:08it's you
24:09it's in you
24:13so you thought it was charge extra for reinventing the past
24:16no therapist
24:20just a loving boyfriend
24:22you know the nurse that I said about
24:27this is him

25:24Roy said that he'd put me and Alfie up while we find somewhere

26:11sorry I just
26:12I erm
26:13I wanted to apologise
26:15for misleading you
26:16about Rita
26:19was it a joke
26:21some sort of test
26:22no it was
26:23it was not like that
26:24Rita must have thought I was some kind of ghoul
26:26touting for business
26:27no she knows it was
26:28it was all me just letting things spiral
26:32all's fair in love and war I suppose
26:36but to use that as a way to get me to spend more time with you rather than Christina
26:41it was pretty low
26:44I need to get on
26:54but darling if I could turn my time
27:06if I could find a way
27:10and be a killin' way
27:14it was not supposed to know
27:15A and B
27:16no
27:17they didn't say anything
27:18the parent will A or B
27:19they were too busy snogging each other up against the pirate pinball machine
27:23I was humiliated
27:24we can have that in the car on the way
27:25yes
27:27mother put one of these in a taxi once
27:29we were on the way to away
27:30and it ricocheted off three windows and wiped out the waving cap the taxi man had stuck on the dashboard
27:36You know what? I'm not sure I'm quite done clubbing. Catch you later.
27:42Oh, rub it in, why don't you?
27:46That's the minibus cab. I bet that's ours. Come on.
27:49To the left. To the left.
27:51What, Theo, will you just... I assume you've gone home, but can you call me, yeah?
27:57Wait.
27:57I thought you'd gone.
28:11You must reassess your life a lot, being here day in, day out.
28:18Perspective, I suppose. Always available.
28:21She was only a year older than me.
28:24Yeah. It was sad.
28:28Sudden.
28:29And I've just been sitting here thinking,
28:31if this was my last year on Earth, what would I do?
28:36And?
28:38I could only think of what I wouldn't do.
28:42Which is?
28:46Be this person who does stupid, unkind things.
28:52So, it's your last year on Earth,
28:54and the first thing you want to do
28:57is feel sorry for yourself.
29:00Arsh.
29:02Unfair.
29:03No, but you know when you've been happy somewhere, right?
29:05When you really feel like something fitted you.
29:08I had a job in the Rovers when I first lived round here.
29:12Bet Lynch gave it.
29:13Well, bet Gilroy she was then.
29:15And I'd watch her swanning around.
29:21Queen Bee.
29:23In this world that was all hers.
29:26And I never imagined that one day that'd be me.
29:31Or that I'd feel like I really belonged there.
29:35I've still got the nameplate.
29:42Jennifer Connor.
29:43Licence to sell intoxicating liquor.
29:47It's under me bed.
29:49That's feeling sorry for meself.
29:50Yeah, you're right.
29:52You've built yourself up from nothing before.
29:56You can do it again.
29:57You know, maybe I just need holiday.
29:58I'll go and moan at me mate in Tenerife instead.
30:01What do you think she'd say?
30:04Oh, well, she'd point at every bar in her town and she'd go,
30:07You can run it better than them, Jen.
30:10Is that such a bad thing?
30:13No, no.
30:15I couldn't do that to Rita.
30:17You know, she's dragged me through too many messes.
30:20She's picked me up, she's shook me.
30:22She's put me back on my feet.
30:24And now it's my turn to take care of her.
30:31Hey, Roy.
30:34Oh.
30:35Um, I just want to sit out for the offer, but I don't need the bed.
30:39I'm going to stay put for now.
30:41Well, the offer remains should you change your mind.
30:50It's for Alfie and Jack.
30:53Of course it is.
30:54We're parents first.
30:56And we don't want to give Alfie whiplash,
30:58so we're going to take him through it gently.
31:02Carl will have to wait and me moving out will have to wait.
31:05Now, you can drop your bomb if you want to,
31:07but it'll be the kids you hurt the most.
31:15Oh, I hope you haven't come back for your soup.
31:19It was delicious.
31:21Hey, I do a pretty mean carrot and coriander and all.
31:24George, I don't think Jenny meant to lead you down the garden path.
31:31At least not that far.
31:33I know.
31:35She's not happy, Rita.
31:37With herself, really.
31:39With her life.
31:41I think the answer is,
31:43if we could find something else for her to do.
31:46You know, a different job.
31:50Can I be candid?
31:52If it helps.
31:53I think you're the key.
31:55If you're willing.
31:56Perhaps you need to realise that you're enough by yourself
32:12before you're ready to share your life with someone.
32:15Spoken like a true spinster of the parish.
32:17Well, it takes one to know one.
32:19I'll go and tell Gem if she can go.
32:21There he is.
32:22Look.
32:22Hey, you.
32:25Todd's looking for you, love.
32:27Tee at me.
32:29Oh, I'll put that depression session on.
32:32Get some bangers on the jukebox.
32:34Operation Cheer Up Sean has landed.
32:38And a little prezzy from Carol.
32:40We make the great mother.
32:41Oh, yes.
32:42Don't tell the boss.
32:44Is that all in your home already?
32:47Er, well, no.
32:48Todd's looking for my laddo there.
32:50And James, Dave, a little bit shocking.
32:52What is shocking?
32:54I don't know.
32:55Whatever you kids call it these days.
32:56I don't know.
32:56Er, pulling.
32:58Copping off.
32:59A little bit of flirty-girty.
33:00Did you not get my text?
33:12I'm looking for you.
33:15I actually ordered as a takeaway.
33:18I thought we could just chill together.
33:25Hey, come on.
33:26Come on, line him up.
33:27Come on.
33:28Not for me, Tara.
33:29And we'll get some food together.
33:35Here's the thing.
33:37I won't tell Kevin.
33:38For Jack and Alfie's sake.
33:40But if you give me the slightest cause,
33:42I will do.
33:43So straight-up emotional blackmail.
33:45You're a grown man.
33:46You should know right from wrong.
33:48So take some responsibility
33:50and stay away from Abby.
33:52Otherwise, you never know.
33:53I might get a bit confused again.
33:55Change me mind.
33:57Now get me a drink.
33:59So didn't the hospital send Tyrone home
34:06any painkillers, honey?
34:08Oh, no.
34:08These are for me, Dev.
34:09I can't really moan about headache, though,
34:11can I, with what he's going through?
34:12Yeah, of course you can.
34:14How's he doing anyway?
34:15Er, I'm stuck between wanting to kiss him
34:17or kill him.
34:19No, bless him.
34:21He's got it tough.
34:22So don't tell him I've snuck out to take drugs,
34:24whatever you do.
34:24The nip's sealed, send him my love.
34:27Oh, thanks, Dev.
34:28See you later.
34:28Hi, Asha.
34:41I'm sorry for throwing a chocolate bar at you.
34:43You know.
34:45And because you're obviously better
34:47at healing and harming people.
34:50Nope.
34:50Just can't throw straight.
34:52Here we go.
34:57Well, Dad, I...
34:59I don't...
35:03want to be a paramedic anymore.
35:08Okay.
35:09Do you want to talk about it?
35:11No.
35:12No, because you'll just be disappointed in me again.
35:15Honey, look, I know things have been tough,
35:16but once that Naomi faces justice,
35:18then maybe...
35:19Look, I dropped the complaint.
35:19Yeah, but why?
35:21Why?
35:22Don't you want to see her punished?
35:24For Bernie.
35:26I'm sorry?
35:30Look, Naomi agreed
35:32to not sue Bernie
35:34if...
35:35if I dropped the complaint.
35:43Oh, here she is.
35:46Oh, hello.
35:47Oh, you've been cashing in your little love vouchers
35:49with Georgie, have you, love?
35:51Hey, bugger lugs, I said...
35:54George and I...
35:55...cashing in your little love vouchers
35:55are just friends.
35:57Nothing more.
35:58He's knocked you back.
35:59I knew it.
36:00He's knocked you back.
36:02Do you know what?
36:02I might go round there.
36:03I have a little go on him myself, actually.
36:05Aw.
36:05Who said romance was dead?
36:07Eh?
36:08Do you know,
36:08I told him that he has to find himself
36:10somebody way better than you.
36:11Shouldn't be hard.
36:12Rude.
36:13No, actually,
36:14what's rude is you.
36:15You always have been.
36:16Rude and selfish
36:17and you drag everybody down with you
36:20but not me.
36:21Not anymore.
36:22So stay out my way.
36:24Do you know what?
36:24I'm not going to dignify that
36:25with a response.
36:27Fine.
36:28And you don't need to dignify yourself
36:29by pulling your skirt
36:30out your knickers either.
36:31Hiya.
36:45Er,
36:45sausage and mash
36:46all right for tea
36:47because there was an offer
36:48on 60p off.
36:53Thank you,
36:53but I don't think
36:54I'm going to be asking George
36:55for any dates.
36:58It's for flights.
37:00Flights?
37:00Flight.
37:02One way.
37:03Are you trying to get rid of me?
37:06Jenny,
37:07you should start
37:08trying to like yourself again.
37:10And I don't think
37:12that's something
37:12you're getting round here.
37:14I'm sorry
37:15if I was ungrateful before.
37:17Who wants to spend
37:18a life being grateful?
37:20And if you do
37:21stick around long enough,
37:22it'll be my turn.
37:24I've got friends here.
37:25Good friends.
37:26I will be all right.
37:28Has George
37:30been in
37:31by any chance?
37:32Is it true
37:33you kept the
37:34pub's nameplate?
37:36Are you going to call me
37:37a soppy date?
37:38No,
37:38but I think we should
37:39raise a glass
37:41in the rovers, eh?
37:43It's just,
37:44it all feels so quick.
37:47Well,
37:47Jenny,
37:48if you don't grab
37:48things quick,
37:49time
37:50keeps racing through.
37:53Think about it,
37:54but don't take too long.
37:56And I still insist
37:57on raising a glass.
37:59Oh,
38:00now that's the sentence
38:01I like to hear.
38:02Might make my decision.
38:03I was into your minds.
38:04Oh,
38:05about what?
38:06Whether to
38:07make you my carbonara
38:08or offer you
38:09my arm as a warm crutch
38:10and take you for a drink.
38:11Hey.
38:18Hey.
38:18Where do you stand
38:19on mango chutney?
38:20Smooth
38:20or with bits?
38:22I've actually got both.
38:25It struck me
38:25as still so much
38:26I don't know about,
38:28about you.
38:29Hey!
38:29What are you doing?
38:30There's a passcode
38:31so you can go through
38:32my phone properly.
38:33It was open.
38:34That photo,
38:35is that,
38:36is that the player
38:36from outside the club
38:37earlier?
38:37So?
38:39I'm just trying to,
38:40I mean,
38:40you're obviously upset.
38:41You said he
38:42tried to start
38:43a fight with you.
38:45It,
38:45it's my ex.
38:48Ex?
38:49What?
38:49So only Todd's allowed
38:50to have a history?
38:51Well, no,
38:51I just,
38:53I didn't know.
38:55Yeah,
38:55well,
38:55there was someone
38:55I used to see
38:56and then he started
38:57getting like this.
38:58Like what?
38:59Who are you talking to?
39:00Where are you here?
39:00Show me your phone.
39:01That is not what
39:02I'm doing right now.
39:02Meanwhile,
39:03you can flirt with anybody
39:04right in front of me.
39:05Who was I flirting with?
39:06James.
39:06Oh,
39:07for heaven's sake,
39:08change the record.
39:09What?
39:09Look,
39:09I know what I saw
39:10right in front of my face.
39:12I mean,
39:13him up close,
39:14you both whispering.
39:15It was loud.
39:17And I don't think
39:17him blasting my eardrum
39:19about not liking a song
39:20is exactly flirting.
39:22I know what I saw.
39:22It's a club.
39:24That's how people behave.
39:25Honestly,
39:26if you'd spent more time
39:27in clubs.
39:28Don't talk to me
39:29like I'm some sort
39:30of clueless idiot.
39:30I'm not.
39:31I'm just,
39:31look,
39:31I'm sorry.
39:32Look,
39:32I don't want to argue,
39:34all right?
39:34Can we just eat
39:35and reset,
39:36start again?
39:43You know those
39:44battery-operated
39:45fairy lights?
39:47You can make them
39:47flash according to your mood.
39:49Really?
39:49According to your mood?
39:51Right.
39:51Hello, Jenny.
39:52I'll see you inside,
39:54Brian.
39:54OK.
39:58Are you coming in?
40:00I don't know.
40:04Is that your
40:05licensee plate?
40:07I was going to take
40:08a selfie with it
40:09at the door,
40:10but, you know,
40:11George would tell me
40:11that that's me
40:12feeling sorry for myself
40:13and I'm done with that.
40:15You'll soon find
40:17another pub door
40:17to hang it over.
40:19No, no, no.
40:19No, not this one, no.
40:21This was Jenny
40:22Connor's gaffe.
40:24My next place
40:25will be Jenny Bradley's.
40:26Because one thing
40:27I know about her,
40:28she can show up
40:29with now to make
40:29things happen.
40:31You can't argue
40:32with that.
40:33If I can go from
40:34being a slip of a
40:35barmaid at
40:35Bette Lynch's
40:36beck and call
40:37to landlady
40:38clanging that bell
40:39every night,
40:40then there ain't
40:41nothing I can't do.
40:43Well, that's the one
40:44thing you had in
40:45common with Bette Lynch,
40:46defiant.
40:47Sup up and get off.
40:48Well, I'll say
40:51goodbye now
40:51if you're not
40:52coming in.
40:53Well, it's not
40:53goodbye.
40:54Well, it is
40:55goodbye just
40:56for today.
40:58You think I won't
40:59be coming to
41:00Tenerife?
41:01I'll be looking
41:01to buy bikinis
41:02with tassels.
41:03Thank you for
41:06everything.
41:10Oh, Jenny, I'll
41:12get the glasses
41:13filled, eh?
41:14Oh, just a minute.
41:16For the journey.
41:18It's a quarter.
41:20I think it's a quarter.
41:22But like you said,
41:23life's too short to
41:24be weighing bonbons.
41:27If you ever need me.
41:28No, don't say that.
41:33Don't say that, Jenny.
41:36I've got to be all
41:37right.
41:38Yeah.
41:50Now, I'm a smooth
41:51mango guy, so you
41:53can have the one with
41:54bits.
41:55I thought you were
41:55getting changed.
41:56Taxi's here.
41:57Taxi?
41:58Yeah.
41:59You said I should
42:00spend more time in
42:01clubs.
42:02I didn't mean...
42:04All right, well,
42:05let's at least eat
42:05first if we're going
42:06to go out again.
42:07Oh, no, not us.
42:09Me.
42:10And enjoy your
42:11smooth mango.
42:12Don't wait up.
42:19You don't need
42:19to make trouble.
42:20But you go there,
42:21don't you, eh?
42:22You cause pain.
42:23Things happen.
42:24You make them happen
42:25and you can make
42:25them stop.
42:26So nothing's ever
42:27drive out here.
42:28Oh, get that down
42:30your vodka hole
42:30and I'll put some
42:31melodrama on.
42:32Hey, how about
42:33Jenny's lock-up moodie?
42:36Not C7 someone.
42:43I don't know, I mean,
42:44with a young lad,
42:45not C7 someone.
42:46I don't know, I mean,
42:46I don't know.
42:46I don't know, I don't know.
42:47I don't know.
42:48I always believe
42:52children like red
42:53souls and grew
42:54up to brown souls.
42:57But today I realised
42:58some adults
42:59never made a transition.
43:01I don't know.
43:02I don't know.
43:03I don't know.
43:03I don't know.
43:04I don't know.
43:05I don't know.
43:05I don't know.
43:05I don't know.
43:06That's the wrong thing.
43:08I'll do this.
43:10I'll do it.
43:12I'll do it.
