00:00Oh
00:02Oh my goodness, I queued for half an hour.
00:31For an hour for a cronut from that bakery, I hadn't thought I was mad.
00:35But it was worth it though.
00:36You should have seen the look on his face when he took his first bite.
00:38Well this is their take on a rum cake.
00:41Toya!
00:42Thanks.
00:42Toya, have you checked it?
00:44Er, no.
00:45Only the best for my Ronald.
00:47Now this is gluten free, sugar free, fat free, yeah?
00:53Your face!
00:55I'm pulling your leg, love!
00:57Good one.
00:58This is absolutely fabulous, darling.
01:03Lovely.
01:04Thank you so much.
01:05Safe journey.
01:07Enjoy.
01:08Oh, we will do.
01:10Come on, let's get it inside.
01:12All right.
01:13Yeah, so your tummy's about to feed off, isn't it, Annie, with everything it's been through?
01:16But, Annie, you really need to drink more.
01:19Yeah.
01:19You wanted to bring her off the shop?
01:21Okay.
01:21Hey, Doc, you'll know this, okay?
01:23Ice.
01:24Do we have, like, an ice machine?
01:25Er, ignore him.
01:27He thinks he's in a five-star hotel.
01:28Well, sorry to break up the party, but we need to run some more blood tests.
01:33It's just to check the tablets we're leaving Asha's system.
01:35Okay, but then she can come home, yeah?
01:38Well, we'd like to monitor your progress a few more days, and we've got you booked in again with the psych team, first thing.
01:43Look, please don't say Darren or Niihal.
01:46No, it's just...
01:49Look, this time last week, I was having coffee with him in the canteen.
01:55Now, look at me.
01:58So, er, you found yourself a wedding venue?
02:01Er, well, we're keeping it on the downline.
02:04What about Chariot Square? I mean, it'd be a great showcase, wouldn't it?
02:06Oh, okay, okay, bit of her bestman's holiday.
02:09One of the kitchen porters is ringing sick.
02:12I'll be stood there in me wedding dress with me marigolds on.
02:15Oh, here we go, early birds.
02:18What's she doing here, eh?
02:20She's got some brass neck on her.
02:23But no-one wants a rear.
02:24Kevin does, and tonight's my night.
02:26All right.
02:27Okay.
02:28Come in!
02:29Oh, Ronnie, he went out for you.
02:31Hey!
02:33This is impressionist phase, eh?
02:35That's mighty cool.
02:36Look, I know how you feel, but this is important to me.
02:39Important enough to kill the vibe?
02:41Look, we've got to show the boys that me and Abby can still be friends, regardless.
02:46Regardless of how she's chewed you up and spat you out.
02:50There's being a friend, and there's being a mughead.
02:53Hey!
02:54Hey!
02:55Happy birthday, mate.
02:56No presents, he said.
02:57Oh, I'm sorry, bro.
02:58Am I making you look bad?
03:00Oh!
03:01Hey, hey!
03:02We've got to check out.
03:03The heavy mobs arrive.
03:04Listen, I want you to take a pew and grab some fizz.
03:05Grab some fizz.
03:06Hey!
03:07Happy birthday!
03:08Love you.
03:09With Ollie, by the way.
03:10Nice to meet you.
03:11Nice to meet you.
03:12Right, are we all here?
03:13Come on, come on.
03:14Sit down, sit down.
03:15Sit soft.
03:16Bed in.
03:17Jack and Alfie.
03:18I'll show them in when the food comes.
03:21Debbie.
03:23Where do you want me?
03:24Don't tempt me.
03:26Who are we waiting for?
03:27Uh, James.
03:28He's busy setting the girls down with the babysitter.
03:31Hmm, AKA doing a grinder drive, aren't you?
03:34He's not, is he?
03:35You can't hurry perfection.
03:37Oh, here he is.
03:39Sorry about my brother, everybody.
03:41He identifies as late.
03:42Yeah, his pronouns are almost there.
03:45Mr Runway.
03:46Park your bum, John.
03:48Oh, you've drawn the short straw.
03:50Sorry.
03:56Believe you me, Mrs Keller,
03:57if your Damien's teeth were in the back of my cab,
03:59I'd have found her by now.
04:01Yep.
04:02Ooh, Pernsby sausage and bean pasty, Stevie boy.
04:05Uh, yes, Mrs Keller, of course, no problem.
04:09Yep, bye-bye.
04:10Wow.
04:11I've had one of these since I was...
04:12Since you were in short trousers?
04:15Trisha.
04:16I was passing.
04:18Wow.
04:27Told you it'll be fine.
04:29None of this is fine.
04:31It's all managed.
04:33You'd fallen out of love with Sally.
04:36A blind man in a blizzard can see you still carrying a torch for her.
04:39I can't switch my feelings on and off.
04:44If you want to be a role model, you need to draw a pair.
04:48She says that to a bloke with one testicle.
04:51Oh, Kev, I am so sorry. I wasn't thinking.
04:53Obviously.
04:54Sorry. So sorry.
04:55So sorry.
04:56So where were you based?
04:57Essen.
04:58It's about half an hour outside of Dortmund.
05:01Sud Rock.
05:02You know it?
05:03Oh, man, I had some wild nights in that dive bar.
05:06We did a rugby tour there in sixth form.
05:08To Germany?
05:09Yeah, there's loads of rugby clubs out there.
05:11Union, not league.
05:12It's because the army brass used to play.
05:15Ah, so your boy went through a posh school then, Dee Dee.
05:17Local company.
05:18But they were sports mad.
05:20Rugby, basketball, cricket, you name it.
05:23They even tried us with ballet once.
05:25Those are some pictures I'd like to see.
05:27Hey, it was good enough for Rio Ferdinand.
05:29I said it once.
05:30So any plans to go back to Germany then, Carl?
05:32Or did you leave a string of broken hearted Fraulein?
05:35No.
05:37Grab your spoons, girls.
05:39Dig in.
05:40Local.
05:41Did you?
05:49Ah.
05:51It was good, that.
05:52You get a Fernsby's pasty, can of pop and a Mars bar, all for a pound.
05:58Breakfast of champions, that.
05:59Lunch?
06:00No, but dinner time weren't too chippy.
06:01And I wonder why we're all dropping down with heart disease.
06:04I'll take me granddaughter.
06:06You're a grandma?
06:07Well, fair play.
06:09They do a vegan sausage roll.
06:12Well, you've got a move of the time, don't you?
06:14Adapt or die.
06:16Well, you've adapted, all right.
06:17In the gym by seven most mornings.
06:19Tough mudder, sign me up.
06:21Suck the marrow, I say.
06:24Marrow can't stand the stuff it is, like warm snot to me.
06:26That'll be bone marrow, not the vegetable.
06:29Although it doesn't mean literally sucking on a bone.
06:32I mean, you must have seen Dead Poets Society.
06:36You know.
06:38Oh, captain, my captain.
06:41Gets me every time, that.
06:43Hi.
06:44I'm Trisha.
06:45Oh.
06:46This is Brian from the sweet shop.
06:47Yep.
06:55What have you done with a runner?
06:56Me?
06:57No.
06:58Having a great time.
06:59Do you want to carry the party on?
07:00Later?
07:01I'd love to, but I told Debbie and Ronnie to give him a hand.
07:05Why don't you give me a hand?
07:06Hey, where are you going, little lad?
07:07Come here.
07:08Hey, where are you going?
07:09Come here.
07:10Where are you going?
07:11Oh, I caught him.
07:13Trying to do a runner?
07:14Can you blame him?
07:15Time.
07:16Come on, you.
07:17Yep.
07:22Our house was by the bus stop.
07:23Yeah, and her room was at the front, right?
07:25She had dead thin curtains and you could see her singing into her hairbrush.
07:28What if you were a sad little perv, maybe?
07:32I was mad for Madonna.
07:34Brian's more of a classical man.
07:35Oh, not always.
07:36I'm a sucker for a show tune.
07:38She had better legs than Madonna.
07:40You could hear her jangling down the path through her beads and her crucifixes.
07:43All the lads fancied her.
07:48Blue Honda, the wiper's half off.
07:52Oh, I mean kids.
07:56So, you and Tim go way back.
07:59First crush, I broke his heart.
08:02Oh, Juliet to his Romeo.
08:05Oh, we're just kids having fun.
08:08Things were more innocent then.
08:10I bet you left a string of suitors in your wake.
08:15Hi, Brian.
08:16Oh, let me introduce you, er, streetcar's newest driver.
08:21Couldn't do a lot worse.
08:22Oh.
08:23Take no notice of this one.
08:25I'm a friend of the owner.
08:27I know.
08:28It's bent.
08:30It's not broken.
08:31Oh, hi, Sal.
08:33And I'm the wife of the owner.
08:35Oh, er, Sally.
08:36It's Trisha.
08:37Trisha, Sally.
08:38So you're Trisha.
08:39Oh, my fame is spreading.
08:43Have you been looking for me, love?
08:44Because I've been a bit, er...
08:45Busy!
08:46Again.
08:47Right.
08:48Yeah, are you getting off skis?
08:49Soon I'll take you.
08:50Oh, no.
08:51I'll walk.
08:52Use it or lose it.
08:54It's been nice meeting you, Brian.
08:57Oh, and you, erm...
08:59Sal.
09:01Bye.
09:02Good-bye.
09:03I'm a friend of the owner.
09:10She was chocolate.
09:11She needs herself.
09:15There you go.
09:16Oh, listen, look.
09:17He can't have that glass.
09:18Where's his beaker?
09:20Do you want me to run home?
09:21Look, he'll be fine.
09:22She's just fussing.
09:24Er, look.
09:25Cheers for coming tonight.
09:27What, to the bee party, you mean?
09:28You know it's his birthday next week, don't you?
09:31So I've got a better offer.
09:32Oh, pecking with the land.
09:34He's just got a geese.
09:35Oh.
09:36So Debbie told you it was a birthday pie, but it's a trial run.
09:38Can our two tribes sit across from one another?
09:41Manchester versus London.
09:43Worthy County versus Crystal Palace.
09:47Northern Plainspeaking versus Southern Finesse.
09:51Or will the wedding be a carnage?
09:54Oh, is he okay?
09:56I'm taking him on.
09:57Sorry, I'll take him.
09:58No one's taking him anywhere.
10:00The kids both stick.
10:01Debbie wants us all here.
10:03No, you want us all here.
10:04Right, my wingmen are primed and my tailor's been briefed, and my PT over here is working
10:09on a training plan.
10:10Is he?
10:11The Bailey clan are going to be on point.
10:14Websters, raise your game.
10:17Fighting talk.
10:18Silent juggler.
10:20Don't just stab Meg Dolly Daydream.
10:22Get a mop.
10:23Okay, just ignore her.
10:24So if there's anything left in your glasses, er, a toast.
10:29Pull the plug on yourself, Ronnie.
10:30No one's listening.
10:31Red, forget it.
10:32I'll get one myself.
10:33Debbie, Debbie.
10:34It was an accident.
10:37You missed our anniversary meal.
10:43Go to the pub and cheer up Kev, you said, so I did.
10:46I didn't know she was going to trap me down to the Rovers, did I?
10:49Yeah, and then I walk in today, and here she is, hanging out.
10:52Yeah, and she bought me a pasty.
10:54A Fernsby sausage and bean pasty.
10:56The goat of pasties.
10:58Greatest of all time.
11:00I know what goat means, Tim.
11:03Well, it's no biggie, is it?
11:05Like our anniversary.
11:06Was that no biggie?
11:08One line in a card.
11:10Mmm.
11:11But I'm not that good with words.
11:13Oh, Tim, you are.
11:15That one line spoke volumes.
11:19Sal.
11:20Come on, Sal, don't be like that.
11:21Sally!
11:29She didn't mean it.
11:31The dementia.
11:33She has mood swings.
11:34It wasn't personal, that's what I'm saying.
11:36No?
11:37Do you think she would have spoken to Nick like that?
11:39Chef said the glue rolls up.
11:40Yes, the glue rolls in here, Debbie.
11:41I could have told you that if you'd let me get a word in.
11:43Right, I'll tell the kitchen to hang fire on the starters.
11:47Now, before you say anything, this was meant to be a family celebration.
11:57Ladies, is this the time or place?
12:00Yes.
12:01Did you do this to Sally back in the day, put the boot in?
12:10Well, that was different.
12:11Yeah, because it was Kevin doing the dirty.
12:13Did you put the boot in on him?
12:15No, of course you didn't.
12:17Look, I owe Kevin so, so much, but I also owe myself.
12:23But his own brother.
12:25You could have picked anyone.
12:28Look, no-one knows about this.
12:34Yeah?
12:35It's not too late to end it.
12:37I love Carl, and Carl loves me.
12:40I mean, he's your brother and all.
12:43Does his happiness not count?
12:44You won't make him happy.
12:46Don't you think that's his call?
12:48You're not good enough.
12:49So, I'm good enough to stay with Kevin, but I'm not good enough to be with Carl?
13:01Well, I think that says more about you than it does me.
13:03What?
13:10I mean…
13:12I mean, that'd be great.
13:15What's up, Sam?
13:19That's right away.
13:21What do I see?
13:23You don't believe this right now?
13:27I'm still sure you can get better at subjects for the students.
13:32It's amazing. You only use this one. You need this colour.
13:35Oh, I much prefer being my own boss.
13:37Yeah, apart from the customers.
13:39Yeah, well, we get the old tricky one, but, you know, we kick high and smile.
13:42Yeah, always.
13:43I tell you what, I don't miss that first two minutes in the morning trying to suss out what mood call is in.
13:47Yeah, reaching for my hard hat.
13:49Are you bulletproof-est?
13:51Yeah.
13:51And this is where you tell me she's a pussycat deep down?
13:53Yeah, I've got her eating out of my hands.
13:55No, not really.
13:56Although she said I could step up, you know, she's going on a holiday so I can take the weight off Sarah.
14:00Well, about time. You could run that place in your sleep.
14:05Dad, Alfie wants his tablet.
14:08Go on, let him have it.
14:11Go on, then.
14:13Oh, and that means I can go on my phone, right?
14:19Nothing like a bit of screen time bribery and tell me about it. I've got all that to come.
14:24Oh, no, I don't. I got too good at it.
14:26Oh, sorry.
14:27Well, not really, no. Kev was already married with kids by that point, so I basically grew up like an only child.
14:33Well, I tried growing up with a professional footballer as a brother.
14:37What? You were really a professional?
14:39So, what do you two talk about in these training sessions, then?
14:43In mostly.
14:45You're being naive, Kev.
14:47You need to get lawyered up.
14:49Not everyone's money mad.
14:51Well, it's not about the money.
14:52Are you sure about that?
14:54It's about her.
14:55She's got a very nasty streak in her.
15:01I've seen it.
15:02And before you say anything, yes, I know, she's had a hard life.
15:08Yeah, well, you can't deny that.
15:11No, I can't.
15:13But it's made her hard.
15:16And she will grab whatever she can get her hands on, so you need to protect yourself.
15:21And Jack.
15:25Because if she gets a share of your house,
15:28it'll be Jack will miss out.
15:32And her and Alfie, there'll be quids in.
15:34Look, neither of us have got cash to throw at solicitors.
15:38Besides, I'm the only dad Alfie's known.
15:41Then you need to get it down in black and white,
15:47because I am telling you now, Kevin,
15:48you cannot trust that woman.
15:51Oh, Dad, stop dropping hints.
15:53My lot would love to meet you.
15:55All of you.
15:55I won't lie, though.
15:57They're full on.
15:58Yeah, especially your grandma from the service.
16:01She's what Yanks would call a strong cap of coffee.
16:04Where is Abby and Carl?
16:18What is it with us and phones?
16:19I was stressed.
16:20I hit send.
16:21Oh, we need to get Kev's phone.
16:22It was too late if Debbie's already told him.
16:24No, it looked like she was telling him,
16:25but if she hasn't, we need to delete that message.
16:27What, off her lot phone?
16:28290982.
16:31Me birthday.
16:31No, not together.
16:48I'm sure she can do without for one night.
16:51You know, if you're too drained.
16:53What kind of message will that send out?
16:55But she knows you can't wait to have her home.
16:58That's right, I'm counting the hours.
16:59And the longer she stays away, the better.
17:03Yeah, you heard that right.
17:06You know what?
17:07I just want to shake her.
17:10Because she saw what losing her mother did to us.
17:11I guess she wants to put us through the same grief again.
17:13No worse.
17:14You know, I am so angry.
17:16I get it.
17:17You know, what, how many kids were killed to have what she has?
17:20She's got a beautiful family.
17:21She's got good friends.
17:22She's got food on the table.
17:23But that's not enough, is it?
17:24Oh, you're scared that this is over.
17:26Yeah, I'm scared.
17:27Because that's how we live now, isn't it?
17:28With a gun to our head.
17:29I can't even look at her twice, just in case she tries to top herself again.
17:32No, no, that's not how we go on.
17:34And I can't even say this, can I?
17:36Not out loud.
17:38No, because I have to, like, play this game.
17:40You know, smile.
17:41And it's like, yes, Arsha, no Arsha.
17:42Three bags full, Arsha.
17:44You can say it to me in private.
17:45That's what I'm here for.
17:46What, to be my punch bag?
17:47What, we work on eggshells around there?
17:50OK, no.
17:51Because that's not right.
17:52And that is not fair.
17:54And, you know, with all due respect, OK, your son was torn from you.
17:57He didn't decide to throw his life away.
18:00I am so angry.
18:02You're afraid.
18:03No.
18:04I'm boiling.
18:06I'm incandescent.
18:08I'm angry.
18:10Anger's fierce bodyguard.
18:13Very good.
18:15Did you read that on a fridge magnet?
18:17No.
18:18From a counsellor, actually.
18:22You know, a very wise counsellor.
18:26You know, that young woman has seen loss that you and I will never see.
18:31Craig, Mason.
18:33The job.
18:36And now she's had to put the load down.
18:40She doesn't want to die.
18:42Yeah, so she says.
18:43She just needs a break.
18:46Trust me.
18:49Just want me to ask you back.
19:00You and the shepherd have made that one.
19:02Yeah, but it wouldn't have had that Northern Quarter vibe.
19:05Or that Northern Quarter prize tag.
19:06Oh, I've forgotten the candles.
19:10No, it's fine.
19:10I've got some.
19:11Oh, you are just the best.
19:13Where would I be without you?
19:15Enjoy.
19:16Because there'll be an old cake on my training plan.
19:18Oh, fill your boots.
19:21Sorry, I'll just make some room there.
19:23I'll be sedaisy.
19:33Sorry, whose is this?
19:34It's not mine, is it?
19:35What?
19:36You've not broke it.
19:37Chill out.
19:37There's nothing wrong with it.
19:39A bit of our lives, those things.
19:51Is he messing?
19:55He wasn't sure.
19:58He's making his famous chicken curry.
20:00Yeah, that'll sort me out.
20:03You must hate me.
20:05Well, where does that voice come from?
20:10Hey.
20:11He's so harsh.
20:14From my head.
20:16From reality.
20:17You know, Bernie, you, um, you had to watch your son die.
20:26You know, slowly.
20:27Horribly.
20:29And I go and do this.
20:30And I know that's what my dad thinks.
20:33I've told him that anger is fear's bodyguard, and this too will pass.
20:36Well, so he is angry, then?
20:39No, not at you.
20:40At the situation.
20:41Well, I am the situation.
20:43You know that life's driven you to this.
20:46You know, the pressure.
20:47Right, okay.
20:47So he's messing around with curry instead of coming to see me.
20:50Got it.
20:50You know, it's the being shut out.
20:54You know, if you felt like this again, maybe you could talk to him first.
21:00You know, all this pain inside.
21:02And you still turned up for work.
21:04You still remember people's birthdays.
21:07Still laughed at Dev's dad jokes.
21:09Ducks, you're the bravest girl I know.
21:17Brian, you're back quick.
21:20Quite the live, were you?
21:22Your friend.
21:23Where did, er, you two star-crossed lovers meet?
21:26Well, Trisha.
21:28Oh, I used to deliver her papers.
21:30Well, her dad's papers.
21:32No wonder I failed me exams.
21:33I was too busy, you know.
21:36How old were you?
21:37Well, it was when Darwin knocked County out of the cup, so what?
21:41Fourteen?
21:43You, er, you let her blow on your Bovril?
21:46Yeah.
21:48I let her have me cherry, mate.
21:51But I did know her.
21:52I knew her.
21:53She worked at the corner shop.
21:54And they trusted her with her till?
21:55At 20-odd, I should hope so, yeah.
21:56You were dating women in the 20s?
21:58Well, I wasn't dating her.
21:59I had a few bunk-ups.
22:00No, she was dating proper blokes that drove RS Cosworths.
22:03You were 14, a miner.
22:04Mate, I was the cock of the walk when word got out.
22:08Should have seen her legs.
22:09You wouldn't have said no.
22:11Come on, I'll tell you all about it down the pub.
22:15Come on.
22:18Right.
22:18Are we all ready to sing happy birthday?
22:21No arguments.
22:22You're never too old.
22:23Wow, look, there's so many candles, isn't there?
22:25I'm gonna need some help.
22:27Yeah, well, Alfie's your man.
22:29Dad, can you video it?
22:31Yeah.
22:31Are we ready?
22:32After three.
22:33One, two, three.
22:35Happy birthday to you.
22:38Does he get messages on that thing?
22:40Happy birthday to you.
22:42Jack, get Alfie out now.
22:44Happy birthday to Ronnie.
22:47Happy birthday to you.
22:50Bush!
22:55You and him.
23:00You've been having an affair all this time.
23:13Oh, please, can we talk about this outside?
23:14Don't blow me!
23:15I deserve that.
23:19You deserve a lot more than that.
23:21Don't push it.
23:22Get off me!
23:23I hope you're up in with yourself now.
23:27Cheers.
23:29Indeed.
23:31So, what do you intend to say to Sally regarding Tricia?
23:37Well, tell her that she's making a mountain have a molehill.
23:40That might not go down too well.
23:42Perhaps, um, start with sorry.
23:44All right.
23:44Sorry, but you're making a mountain have a molehill.
23:46Not exactly what I meant.
23:48But she is, though, isn't she?
23:49I mean, me and Tricia were only catching up over old times, you know?
23:51That was it.
23:52Knocked to it.
23:52I mean, I won't go mad if she bumped into one of her exes.
23:57I mean, all she did was bring me a pasty.
24:00You know, we used to try and buy booze off her when we were kids,
24:02but we were underage, so she would never sell it to us,
24:04but she'd make us buy her something else,
24:05and I always went for a pasty.
24:06She knew how old you were?
24:08Yeah.
24:09And she still slept with you?
24:11Oh, aye.
24:12I lost my virginity to her.
24:16You were 14.
24:17Mm.
24:18How old were you when you lost your virginity to her?
24:20Er, considerably older than that.
24:2230-odd.
24:23Ha-ha.
24:24Not far off.
24:25Mm.
24:27I was 14.
24:28She were 20-odd, you know?
24:29She was experienced.
24:31She was fit, and she taught me a thing or two.
24:36Hey, I'm just on the way to the hospital,
24:45but what are you doing back anyway?
24:46I thought you were staying with her.
24:47Well, I think I might have just put my foot in it.
24:51How's it going?
24:52I told Asha you were angry with her.
24:55You what?
24:56Well, she wanted to know how you were feeling,
24:57and I was honest.
25:00And what'd she say?
25:01Well, she got upset.
25:02Well, are you surprised?
25:04Because that's the last thing she needs to hear, right?
25:06I know.
25:06I'm an idiot.
25:07For God's sake.
25:09I've been consistently calm and reassuring with her
25:10for good reason,
25:11because I want her to have the help
25:12and the support that she needs,
25:13and you have just gone and ruined it.
25:15I'm sorry.
25:16But you've ruined it.
25:17I mean, how dare you upset her
25:18when she's in such a fragile state?
25:20I'm sorry.
25:20It was a mistake.
25:21You were alone with her for one hour,
25:23and you managed to mess everything up.
25:26I don't want you visiting her again.
25:35I'm sorry.
25:36She's the love of me life.
25:37So whose crime's worse, eh?
25:39You defending him?
25:40No.
25:41No, but he's not the one who's married, is he?
25:42He's me brother!
25:43Kev, I am so sorry.
25:44Don't!
25:45She wasn't happy with you, Kev.
25:47Your marriage was dead.
25:48You can't blame me for that.
25:49Can I?
25:50Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
25:51You need to leave her.
25:52I'm calling the police.
25:52Don't worry.
25:54I'm going.
25:54Look, I'll come along with you.
25:56No!
25:58Kev, wait.
26:01What kind of man does that to his own brother?
26:05I was going to ask the same question.
26:10Right, we'll have this one, and then that's me.
26:13You really don't see the problem, do you?
26:15What problem?
26:15You and Tricia.
26:17You're only saying that because you fancy her.
26:19You were underage.
26:19She was essentially grooming you.
26:21Give over.
26:21Most of the lads in my class were having sex at first.
26:23With women in their 20s?
26:24Yeah, and they thought we were men.
26:25So did I.
26:26How would you feel if Faye had been sleeping with some 20-odd-year-old lad when she was 14?
26:30Well, that's different.
26:31It's exactly the same.
26:32No, it's not.
26:33Because A, she's a girl.
26:34Boys can be groomed too.
26:35B, I wasn't being groomed.
26:36I was well up for it.
26:37Absolutely no excuse.
26:39You were a minor.
26:40C, things were different back then.
26:42Oh, so it's perfectly fine for an adult to take advantage of a child, because at the time
26:46nobody cared.
26:47All right, Mr Packham.
26:48I am simply not saying this because I'm a teacher.
26:51Was a teacher.
26:52I'm a retired teacher.
26:54You know, if it was you, you'd not stop banging on about it.
26:56You know you wouldn't.
26:57You really are missing the point.
26:59There was nothing wrong with what we did, and if you don't agree, I don't care.
27:01James, look.
27:08It's no wonder you wanted to keep us a secret.
27:10I didn't want to hurt you.
27:11I'm not hurt.
27:12It was never more than a hook-up.
27:14But I'm angry.
27:15Angry that you've lied to me, and now I'm caught up in all this mess.
27:19I'm assuming Abby doesn't know you've been sleeping around behind her back.
27:23No.
27:24So you've been lying to her as well?
27:26Is there anyone you've not been lying to?
27:28I know what I've made mistakes.
27:29So how do you intend to sort this out?
27:32And what do you actually want to get out of all this?
27:34Because I have got no idea.
27:37I, er...
27:38I think I want to be with Abby.
27:42You think you do?
27:43So you've just been using her?
27:45No, I'm not completely on this.
27:47James, please, just don't tell her about us.
27:50Maybe she deserves to know.
27:52Please.
27:53You're not in a position to ask for anything.
27:59I didn't want you to find out like this.
28:04So when was you going to sit me down and calmly tell me you'd been sleeping with me brother?
28:10I was, erm...
28:12I was going to wait until the dust had settled.
28:17And let me down gently!
28:18I am so sorry.
28:22How long's it been going on?
28:27It, er...
28:28It started when I found out that you lied about having cancer.
28:32So it was my fault?
28:33No, of course not.
28:34I knew there was something between you.
28:36I flamed me, knew it, but you convinced me it was wrong.
28:40And I believed you.
28:41I thought I was tired.
28:43Anxious. Paranoid.
28:44We fought it as...
28:45Don't tell me that!
28:46You wanted each other so much you couldn't fight it any more.
28:50That's worse.
28:51I lied because I was so scared of losing you.
28:54You do know that.
28:57If I hadn't, would we still be together?
29:01I don't know.
29:02Is it true what Carl said?
29:07He wasn't happy.
29:08Our marriage was dead.
29:10No.
29:12So he was happy?
29:13For a long time, yeah.
29:17You've been an amazing husband.
29:20And an amazing dad to Alfie.
29:23Did you love me?
29:25No, I did love you.
29:28Do you still love me?
29:30Kev, I'll always love you.
29:32Cos I love you.
29:34More than you will ever know.
29:36And if you feel the same, you know, we could...
29:39We could get past this.
29:41Look, I'm sorry about all of this.
29:48We'll pay for any damage.
29:50Familiar ground for you, though, eh?
29:52What's that supposed to mean?
29:53Well, you did Nick Nick, didn't you?
29:55Your sister's husband.
29:56Nick Nick.
29:57Debbie, Debbie, please.
29:58What?
29:59It's true!
30:02Did she ever forgive you?
30:04No.
30:04No, I can't see Kev forgiving this, either.
30:08Well, I don't blame him.
30:10Did you know about this affair?
30:12Me?
30:13Yes.
30:14See, I thought you two were from mates.
30:16Did you?
30:17No, I didn't.
30:19We're not mates.
30:20Just a client.
30:21OK, sorry about all the drama.
30:26No need to apologise.
30:28I'm learning a lot more about everyone.
30:29Right, who wants a glass of Prosecco?
30:33Because I certainly do.
30:35Not for me.
30:36I've got a hit.
30:37Yeah, sorry, Debs.
30:38I think we should be off too, Ollie.
30:40Thanks for everything.
30:42It's been eventful.
30:43Right, I'm going to ring Kevin.
30:55No, no, Debbie, I don't think that's a good idea.
30:57Abby's probably with him.
30:58Yeah, that's what I'm afraid of.
31:05Part of me understands why you did it.
31:08All the stress he was under.
31:10Mason's death.
31:11All the trauma that brought to you.
31:14The me getting cancer.
31:16I wasn't a good husband.
31:18I didn't meet your needs.
31:20I should have been more supportive and loving.
31:23I felt you drifting away before I lied to you.
31:27It's not your fault, Kev.
31:28I can understand you wanting the attention of someone else,
31:31and I bet I bet Kyle was really persuasive.
31:34Don't let me off the hook like this.
31:35I don't deserve it.
31:36Look, I really messed up with Sally.
31:39When I had a stupid affair,
31:40I knew it was a mistake,
31:43and I shouldn't have done it.
31:44It was Sally that I loved.
31:47The first time, she forgave me.
31:50Took me back.
31:51I can do the same.
31:53But we're not together anymore.
31:55Look, I know.
31:56Why are you left?
31:57You felt guilty about the affair.
31:59That something wasn't right between us.
32:01But now it's out in the open.
32:02We can work on fixing it.
32:05It's not that simple.
32:07I can't lose you.
32:09It doesn't matter what you've done.
32:10I cannot lose you.
32:11Kev.
32:13I'm in love with Kyle.
32:15We're going to be together.
32:16You've just said you'll always love me.
32:34And I will.
32:35But I'm not in love with you anymore,
32:37and I haven't been for a long while.
32:39I'm sorry, but it's time to be honest.
32:44Oh, really?
32:46Well, here's some honesty for you.
32:48Kyle's a player.
32:49He'll drop you like a stone now the fun's over.
32:52That's not true.
32:52You don't even know him.
32:53Neither do you.
32:54I know him better than you.
32:55And that's the one thing Elaine always said about him.
32:57He's got no heart.
32:59He jumps from girl to girl.
33:01Never settling.
33:02Doesn't want kids.
33:03Doesn't even like him.
33:04I don't believe that.
33:05He's good with Alfie and Jack.
33:06Jack's nearly an adult.
33:08And how much time does he really spend with Alfie?
33:10That's irrelevant.
33:12Elaine despised of him.
33:13Said he'd hurt a lot of people, never gave a damn.
33:16Yeah, well, I know he gives a damn about me.
33:18He loves me.
33:18Yeah, he said he loved me.
33:20When I was having chemo.
33:21So much for that, eh?
33:23Look, I know you're angry, and I get it, but...
33:26What's going on?
33:28First, Uncle Carl sends me home with Alfie.
33:30They're now used to shouting at each other.
33:33Tell him.
33:36Not like this.
33:37You said it's time to be honest.
33:39Tell him the truth.
33:48So how's juggling this place and the law going in?
33:50Keeps me busy.
33:52Go on, who's the worst to work for?
33:54Leanne or Adam?
33:55Oh, that would be time.
33:56Does Adam go easy on you because you're his bird?
33:58I'm not his bird.
34:01Oh, sorry, he's his partner.
34:03If I'm honest, he's probably harder on me.
34:05All right.
34:06So Leanne's a breeze, then?
34:08Hmm.
34:11Hey, thought I'd give this place a try.
34:13Yeah.
34:14He has given you a glowing recommendation.
34:17Oh, that's nice.
34:18Is that me when I get extra poppadoms for free?
34:20I shouldn't, but I'll sneak a couple in.
34:23Don't tell Leanne.
34:27It's been so lovely seeing you again after all these years.
34:30Yeah, it has, yeah.
34:34Do you, um, fancy a proper drink sometime?
34:39Yeah, that'd be nice.
34:42But maybe not round here, eh?
34:43I've had a grill in off Brian he met earlier.
34:45Oh?
34:45Yeah, yeah, it's just jumpy to conclusions.
34:50Well, like what?
34:51No, it doesn't matter.
34:52But if we do meet, maybe we should meet in town.
34:55I'm by me.
34:56Maybe just as mates, yeah?
34:58Of course.
34:59I do know you're married.
35:01Yeah, I am.
35:02Happily.
35:03Glad to hear it.
35:05Extra poppadoms, as promised.
35:07Oh, nice one, yeah.
35:08Diamond.
35:10Enjoy your food.
35:10Mmm.
35:11I'll be in touch.
35:15I know it's awful, and I know your dad's hurt, but sometimes marriages break down.
35:28But this is your fault.
35:30You and Uncle Carl.
35:32Whatever happens, I want to stay in your life.
35:34No.
35:35No, I don't want you to.
35:37I don't want to see you ever again.
35:41You could have let me tell him differently.
35:45Why?
35:47So you could paint yourself in a better light.
35:49He's old enough to know the truth.
35:51And you know what?
35:51He's right.
35:53It has all been about you.
35:55I've let you play me like a fiddle.
35:57I'm sorry you feel like that.
35:58After everything I've put up with over the years,
36:01careering from crisis to crisis, picking up the pieces,
36:05holding you together,
36:06you've done me every wrong a person could do.
36:09And every time,
36:11I've forgiven you.
36:12I know you have.
36:14Get out.
36:16Okay.
36:17I just need to go and get Alfie.
36:19Yeah, it's a shame that lad can't stay.
36:21None of this is his fault.
36:22You're uprooting him from his home.
36:24A loving family.
36:26We'll be fine.
36:27Yeah, well,
36:28when it all comes crashing down with Carl,
36:30don't come crying to me because I'll laugh in your face.
36:32It's a maid night.
37:02Partly collected by Patricio.
37:05They're having some joy down this near side.
37:08Clever play initially.
37:09Creating a two-feet-one...
37:10Got your favourite.
37:12An extra pop of Dom's.
37:15And I've got a bottle of that Merlot that you like.
37:19Oh, come on, babe.
37:21No, I'm fine, Tim.
37:22I'm just reading how neutrals are coming back in style.
37:25Oh, finally.
37:26That's a relief.
37:28Listen, I'm sorry about me and Trisha.
37:30She just turned up and I didn't want to be rude.
37:31Yeah, well, you missed our anniversary meal, Tim.
37:34Yeah, I know, and I said, I'm sorry, I told you.
37:36And the next thing, she's bringing your pasties to work.
37:39That's more than turning up.
37:40That's got intent.
37:41Oh, don't be daft.
37:42And I do think it's odd that I've never heard of her.
37:47Well, why would you?
37:48I thought I'd heard about all of your girlfriends.
37:51No chance.
37:53I mean, yeah, you have, yeah.
37:54Most of them, yeah.
37:55Except Trisha, which makes me think she must have been special.
37:58Well, she...
37:59She was the first person I slept with.
38:02So she was special?
38:03No.
38:05Nothing meaningful, you know.
38:06It's like, we didn't date her all.
38:08You know, she was...
38:09She was older.
38:10We just, you know, mess about, that's all.
38:13Yeah.
38:14Well, I get the impression she wants to mess about some more.
38:17Well, she can look, but she can't touch.
38:19The only person I want to mess about with is you.
38:21Oh, give over.
38:23Come on, let's have some poppadoms.
38:24Hey, gorgeous nurse.
38:41I have bought you some famous chicken curry.
38:45Look, it's not famous.
38:47You just call it that.
38:48Yeah, well, it is in my house, and that's all that counts.
38:50Dad, I'm not really hungry.
38:52OK.
38:54Right.
38:57I have seen Bernie, and I know she's upset you, and I'm really angry.
39:02OK, but, like, at her, OK, not you, OK?
39:04Because I'm never angry at you, right?
39:06Well, that's not what she said.
39:07She shouldn't have said anything.
39:09Well, Dad, if it's the truth, I'd rather just know.
39:13OK, yes.
39:15Yes, yes, I was angry, OK, but with me.
39:19For not noticing the signs, for not being a good dad.
39:22It has nothing to do with you not being a good dad.
39:25Yeah, but I didn't see you were struggling, did I?
39:27Because I hid it from you.
39:28Yeah, but I should have known that something was wrong.
39:30You're my daughter, right?
39:31Or you should have been able to talk to me, and I didn't, and you couldn't,
39:34and that's got to be my fault.
39:36Dad.
39:36It really isn't.
39:39OK, I didn't even know what was happening myself.
39:43OK, I just...
39:45I had these dark feelings that I didn't know how to talk about.
39:51It isn't your fault.
39:53OK, please.
39:55Please believe me.
40:01No, you have to promise me not to shut me out again.
40:05OK.
40:07But then you should know, um...
40:10I want to quit being a paramedic.
40:13OK, fine.
40:14I understand.
40:16And no-one's going to expect you to make any kind of decisions right now.
40:18I'm not going to change my mind.
40:20OK, fine.
40:21Because your mental health is the most important thing to me.
40:24OK.
40:25Yeah.
40:28Oh.
40:29Right, I'll wash up.
40:30Oh, thanks, love.
40:31Yeah.
40:33Oh, that is a lovely colour.
40:36Chocolate plum.
40:38A bold neutral that retains its restful quality.
40:43Hey, do you fancy a chocolate plum accent wall in the bedroom?
40:49You know, behind the bed.
40:52Tim?
40:53Hmm?
40:54Yeah, sounds good.
40:56Who are you texting?
41:00Just Steve.
41:04Come on in, darling.
41:06There you go.
41:07It's just through there.
41:09Did you, um, did you get any snacks?
41:11Er, crisps.
41:12Pork scratchings.
41:13Pork scratchings?
41:14Choice at a bar was limited.
41:16Just shout if you need any help, OK?
41:18It's all right.
41:19Oh, Carl.
41:24Kevin was so upset.
41:27And then he was so angry.
41:29You can hardly blame him, can you?
41:31I'm sorry about that text.
41:33I'm sorry about that text.
41:35It was stupid.
41:38But at least it's all out in the open now.
41:41And we can finally stop hiding and be together.
41:45Yeah.
41:47Yeah.
41:51This is what you want, innit?
41:53Of course it is.
41:54Because I've given up everything for you.
41:55I know you have.
41:58Hey.
41:59We'll be fine.
42:00I promise.
42:12I take it she's gone?
42:14Yep.
42:17With Alfie.
42:21I know you love that little boy, Kev, but...
42:25It's probably for the best.
42:28How can you say it's for the best?
42:30Sorry, that sounded really insensitive.
42:37Two and a half months, they've been at it.
42:39I know.
42:40I don't mean I know.
42:42I mean, I know.
42:44Yeah, it's awful.
42:45How could they?
42:47They must have been meeting at the hotel.
42:51Yeah, I suppose so.
42:53Did you not see anything suspicious?
42:56No.
42:57You would have told me, wouldn't you?
42:59Oh, yeah.
43:00Yeah, of course I would.
43:03She says she's in love with him.
43:06So she says.
43:07I still love her.
43:09She doesn't deserve your love.
43:15Look, I know it doesn't feel like this now, but in time, you will realise, Kev, you're
43:21better off without her.
43:23She's just a ball of chaos.
43:24She's selfish, she's selfish, messy, insecure, and you don't want that in your life.
43:37Thanks.
43:38Thanks.
43:38I needed to hear that.
43:43What sisters for, eh?
43:44Lucky to have you, Deb.
43:46You've stuck by me through thick and thin.
43:50Look, I know the future's not going to be easy, but I'm going to be here for whatever you need.
43:58After today, you're the only family I've got round here.
44:02Well, the one I can trust anyway.
44:06I don't know.
44:07You're the only family I've got friends.
44:10I don't know.
44:11I don't know.
44:11I don't know.
44:12I don't know.
