17:40But you did it anyway.
17:42Sorry.
17:43You know, if you'd have just asked why I don't have an online footprint, I'd have told you about my mum and dad's strict parental controls.
17:53How they blocked my access to social media.
17:56I wasn't at a smartphone until I turned 18.
18:00Oh, my God, that's awful.
18:02Sorry.
18:02What happened?
18:05I don't know.
18:06Maybe they were just looking out for me.
18:11I generally didn't think of that.
18:13Yeah, well, their worries must have rubbed off, because I still hate using socials.
18:20You know, in case some weirdo tries to track my movements online.
18:25Oh.
18:27But what about Cindy?
18:30Elaine says you ask a lot of questions.
18:33Cindy's been nice to me.
18:36And I don't know, I like the way she rocks a pencil skirt when I'm in her age.
18:41Yeah?
18:41You're just a typical teenage sex maniac, aren't you?
19:00You're too easy.
19:01Trust me, official.
19:15Does that mean I'm forgiven?
19:21Yeah.
19:22Yeah, right.
19:24One condition name.
19:25Can I borrow your house keys?
19:27I'm desperate for a wee.
19:30Ta, all right, I'll be back.
19:32Ah.
19:37Oscar and Jasmine, sickly in a tree.
19:40K-I-S-S-I-N-G.
19:42How much of that did you hear?
19:44Oh, enough to know that you are such a little cute pie.
19:46You can mock me.
19:50I don't care.
19:51I don't know that you're such a little baby.
19:52I don't care.
19:53You're too short.
19:55You're too short.
19:55I don't care.
19:56No.
20:08I don't care.
20:09I don't care.
20:09I don't care.
20:13All right.
20:14Ladies and gentlemen, welcome each and every one of you
20:26to the official Queen Victoria Spooky Cinema Club!
20:30We've got creepy cops around the half hour.
20:32I want to have a long, slow, comfortable scream.
20:38I was wondering when that sentence was going to end.
20:40Yeah, didn't we all? The whole pub breathed a sigh of relief.
20:43Hang on, who have you come as, then?
20:44I'll give you a clue. Scary lesbian.
20:47Suit me.
20:48Hey!
20:49And I mean, we raided their wardrobe.
20:51I can get this one. It's the greasy hair, the cheap suit, sleazy swagger.
20:57Nish.
20:58No, these are my own clothes, Ian. Thanks.
21:02Let's get a drink.
21:03Yeah, come on.
21:04So I'm encouraging.
21:06Come on, eat.
21:07Sorry.
21:15Nan, I'll take your hand if you want.
21:16No.
21:18I've already lost my family because of Zoe. I'm not losing my friends as well.
21:22Cat, I'm really sorry to ruin your evening, but I'm worried about Zoe.
21:29Yeah, so am I.
21:30She's upstairs hiding from these torch-wielding villagers.
21:34Listen, I know my daughter better than anyone. Just leave her alone and she'll be fine.
21:37Ross Marshall, rare and specialist and video expert at your service.
21:43Well done. Where'd you get it?
21:45Er, the tip.
21:46And Zoe, are you going to look forward to seeing themselves in 80s Technicolor?
21:51OK.
21:52Right, everybody, if I can have your attention now, please. Thank you.
21:56Here we go.
21:58What's that?
22:00Sorry, it's too itchy.
22:02Put it back on. You've got scared of kids.
22:03OK, right.
22:04Hey, listen up, everybody.
22:05Are we ready for the things that go bump in the night?
22:10Yeah!
22:11Are you ready to be scared?
22:12Yeah!
22:13OK, get ready.
22:14I'll catch the lights off, darling.
22:15Here we go.
22:16Right, let's see what you've got here.
22:17Oh, I can't get ready.
22:18Oh, I can't get ready.
22:19Oh, I can't get ready.
22:20Oh, I can't get ready.
22:21Oh, I can't get ready.
22:22Oh, I can't get ready.
22:23Oh, I can't get ready.
22:24Oh, I can't get ready.
22:25Oh!
22:26Oh, my God!
22:27Oh, my God!
22:28Oh, my God!
22:29Oh, my God!
22:30Ah!
22:31I'm looking for that.
22:32I'll make the most of it.
22:34It's nice.
22:35There won't be any us time when we get our child.
22:40Hmm.
22:42Our child.
22:43Hmm.
22:44It's got a ring to it.
22:46It does.
22:47What am I gonna do about getting my mum's reference?
22:50She didn't even come to the wedding.
22:54Yeah, I know.
22:55She was okay when we went to stay with her last year.
22:58You see, that's just it.
23:01She is an unpredictable narcissist, so she's like that, um...
23:06whack-a-mole.
23:08Cos you can prepare for her to pop up like that,
23:09and she just pops up like that.
23:13Listen.
23:16I know you had a horrendous time growing up, OK?
23:20Yeah.
23:20And I don't condone the monstrous ways she treated you
23:23after your sister died.
23:25But we don't want her in our lives.
23:31We don't want her to be the doting grandmother,
23:34but what we do want is that reference.
23:38And we are more than capable of wheedling the heart of it.
23:44We will get that reference.
23:47And we will get our child.
23:49Yeah?
23:50Mm-hmm.
23:50So...
23:53Why don't you sit back
23:57and enjoy
23:59what's left of our precious us time?
24:07Hey!
24:08See, I told you, Mr Vickley, didn't I?
24:09All right.
24:13That's right.
24:14The knife's back on.
24:15Lovely.
24:17So...
24:18Oh, hello.
24:19You think it suits me?
24:20Well, I couldn't hide away forever.
24:21Yeah, it's good to see you again, Zoe.
24:23Let me give you an hand.
24:23Yeah, good girl.
24:24Lovely.
24:30Nicky, listen.
24:31I'm sorry what Zoe did to Sharon.
24:34I don't want there to be any bad food between our families.
24:38Drink something else, yeah?
24:40Thanks, Kat.
24:41Now, you'll get no beef from me.
24:43Not me.
24:43I thought you said no beef.
24:48Have a good night.
24:51I don't think I've ever seen this.
24:57I know.
24:57Unless I found it at the barrel store.
24:59I just thought maybe a bit later we can watch it and you and Zoe do a bit of bonding.
25:02No.
25:03No?
25:03In case my mum and dad's on it, it might freak her out.
25:06Yeah, sorry.
25:07I didn't think.
25:08That's right.
25:11Well, that horror movie had hardly any blood or guts in it.
25:15Well, we could watch Hostel 2 back at yours.
25:17He's a wimp.
25:18He nearly fainted cutting his toenails too short the other day.
25:21That's right.
25:22All true, all true.
25:23But you could stay over and protect me from the boogeyman.
25:27Brave soldier.
25:30Actually, I was going to ask if I could stay for a while.
25:32Just while I'm sorting out my new place.
25:34Definitely, please, Peter.
25:37Oh, yeah, I suppose.
25:38Me and Lauren, we're on our honeymoon next week.
25:40So I suppose you could use our bed for a couple of days.
25:43I thought you guys had a spare room, actually.
25:45Then I could just stay for a little bit longer.
25:47That's my mum's room.
25:49Yeah, but Cindy ain't back for ages.
25:50And she won't know if you don't tell.
25:54I will pay rent, bills.
25:56I'll even help with shopping.
26:00Um, yeah, okay.
26:02Yeah, as long as it's right with Lauren, that's fine.
26:04But just don't touch anything on my mum's face, yeah?
26:06Nothing.
26:08I'll be a husband, Pete.
26:09Oscar, what are you...
26:15Seriously, I promise, Cindy won't even know I've been there.
26:24Oh, look, Kat, it's you and me, isn't it?
26:27Where'd you get that?
26:29Alfie found it.
26:30I wasn't sure you'd want to watch it, to be honest.
26:34Oh, wow.
26:35I look hot.
26:36Uncle Larry.
26:47Get it off.
26:48Get it off!
26:48I told you not to put it on!
26:50Oh, stop.
26:50I didn't put it on, I swear.
26:51Well, then who did?
26:53Was it you?
26:54Getting back at me?
26:56Or you, taunting me, because I've got a rapist for a dad?
26:59No, of course not.
27:00Zoe, shut up!
27:01No, I won't!
27:02Not until they own up!
27:04Who did it?
27:06Well, get out of there, all of you!
27:08Oh, no, no, no.
27:09Yes!
27:10Listen, everybody, please, just stay where you are, all right?
27:13No thanks, Alfie.
27:14Oh, I'm done.
27:16I've had enough of this horror show.
27:18Get out!
27:24She was looking at me.
27:27I told you, someone is out to get me.
27:41This is what I was trying to tell you.
27:44She is not the Zoe that I remember.
27:47She's just having a tough time since she'd been back.
27:49No, Kat.
27:51Paranoia, wild accusations, heightened behaviour.
27:55These are the warning signs of a psychotic break.
27:57Take a break from my gloomy weather and join Amanda and Alan renovating a rundown's casa.
28:18Press red and watch their Spanish job on iPlayer.
28:20This, and everything across the BBC, is made possible because we're funded by you.
28:27Two play-by- Lancaster.
28:30Bye-bye.
28:30Bye.
28:31Bye.
28:31Bye-bye.
28:31Bye-bye.
28:40Bye-bye.
