00:30Fancy getting a burger in town later?

00:37Not really.

00:42Cinema then?

00:45I'm not bothered.

00:48Are you sure nothing's up? You've hardly said a word to me, April.

00:52Yeah, I'm fine.

00:55Listen, Grandad will probably need a hand-clearing breakfast, so I'd better go, but I'll see you later, yeah?

00:59Yeah.

01:04It was like the last few months hadn't happened, you know?

01:06Mm-hmm.

01:07She was just April again.

01:10Do you know what she said to me?

01:11It's amazing. I made up for you.

01:13Yes, I knew you would be.

01:15Here's hoping the microwave will be more interesting in hearing about it.

01:20Hey.

01:21What's that?

01:22Water for you to drink before the scan.

01:24I mean, I know you've got water here, but I just thought...

01:26Why not smash through some single-use plastic?

01:28That it was something I could do to get involved.

01:30You should probably get started, right?

01:32Yeah, I reckon so.

01:33Not all of it, obviously.

01:35Oh, just made us want to pee the thought of it. All that pressure on your bladder.

01:39And chucking a bit of perimenopause and she's screwed, basically.

01:42Babe, there's going to be no need. I'm really sorry to tell you the hospital's called and they've cancelled the scan because of, I don't know, staff issues or something. I'm really sorry.

01:50What? I've been looking forward to this for so long, you know, getting to see the baby properly.

01:55Well, at least you got to see it on an earlier scan, didn't you? You know, that Jacob's mate managed to wrangle.

02:00It's not going to look that much different, is it? It's still just going to look like a little floating black and white blob.

02:06I don't know about eight weeks. It was only the size of a raspberry and now it'll be like an avocado or something.

02:10You do know it's a baby, don't you? Not a bit of salad.

02:13Which is a silly and tactless thing to say.

02:16I could always speak to Suki again. See if they can squeeze us in anywhere else.

02:19Oh, no, don't be doing that. I don't want to get you into any bother for queue jumping.

02:23Right, well, we'll just wait for another appointment then. Can't say I'm not gutted though.

02:28No, I know, babe. I'm sorry. It's lousy.

02:31Charity, can I have a word, please?

02:35Sorry, I got held up at the depot filling out forms. I told Jay, it's tea bags, not cocaine I'm collecting, but he's ever the jobs worth.

02:43I'm not being funny, but does anyone even like that guy? Because I remember Steph saying he was a proper pain in the bum to work with.

02:48Wow, what's this? Slag off Jay Day.

02:50Why, do you want to join in?

02:51No, no, I don't actually. Because he's alright. Sometimes. And yeah, those forms that you had to fill in, Caleb gives him loads of stick if they're not done properly.

03:00Well, that's me told.

03:02Yeah. Well, at least we know one person who likes Jay.

03:06Er, not like that.

03:08You know, they're my business.

03:14Enjoy your drink.

03:20The hospital didn't cancel, did they?

03:22No, I made it up.

03:23Why?

03:24Because of what you said yesterday. That this baby might actually be too small for Sarah's dates and I'll get rumbled.

03:29I didn't mean you should miss an important scan though.

03:32I'm not. I've just told Sarah that I've cancelled, okay, so I can go on my own.

03:36More lies!

03:37We're all connected lies, in my defence, to protect her.

03:41Her and the whopper that you've told?

03:43Okay, but what if you're right? And that they can work out that this baby's actually Ross's?

03:47Do you really think they'll be able to spot Minnie Ross's quiff or his scowl on an avocado?

03:52Babe, this foetus is not the one that they implanted, okay?

03:57So if I am going to get rumbled, I need to work out what I'm going to do and I can't have Sarah there.

04:01Right, and what if everything is fine? What if she twigs that you went without her?

04:05Well, I'll just have to come up with an excuse as to why. And do you know what? I've got pretty good at lying.

04:09I'm going to have to go.

04:11Oh, I suppose I can ask Marlon to cover. Come with you.

04:15Hang on, I thought you said you didn't want any part of this, that you hated even being involved.

04:19Yes, but I don't hate you, do I? Unfortunately.

04:24And then, after the Rockets, I build up to me big finale.

04:30Which is?

04:31Roman Candles, set to Dua Lipa for Angel.

04:35I've already rehearsed it through. I had to do the banks myself, obviously, but I think it's got to be a triumph.

04:39Sounds brilliant, Jimmy.

04:41Yeah, it does.

04:42Yeah, I'll be able to watch it over your fence.

04:44But if you can be bothered.

04:46Of course.

04:47I love Bonfire Night.

04:48Oh.

04:49Well, I couldn't think of anything worse than a little bit of spitting fireworks.

04:52I'll be tucked away in bed with my headphones in my new book.

04:54Get out, you big fun sponge!

04:56It's ace!

04:58I always find the flames proper mesmerizing.

05:01Do you?

05:02Are you in, Vic?

05:04Well, actually, I was going to see if Aaron fancied the hot and bonfire with me and Harry.

05:08I thought he might like the company.

05:09Why?

05:10What's up with him?

05:11He still struggles sometimes.

05:13Since John.

05:14Well, if everyone's doing hot and then...

05:18It might be nice just the two of us, though.

05:21You know, with it being the last one I'll see.

05:24Last time eating a toffee apple.

05:26Last time stealing sparklers from children.

05:29Yeah, that's...

05:31...sad.

05:32Yeah, it is, isn't it?

05:34That's why this wedding renewal tomorrow means so much.

05:38It's got my...

05:39...copper choked up.

05:41It's like a gate's been opened.

05:43Oof.

05:44I've just thought something I'd want to put in my vows.

05:46You got paper and pen, mate?

05:48Er, yeah.

05:54Have you written your vows?

05:56Er, no, it just doesn't seem to be flowing so much.

06:00Right.

06:01Doesn't seem to be a problem for Kev.

06:04Apparently a gate's been opened.

06:06What's your point?

06:07That maybe you and him are in different places.

06:16And you know there's no one out there?

06:18Bar staff?

06:19Yes.

06:20Hence the open door and lack of tune.

06:21So I can jump if a disgruntled customer yells through or, you know, robs us.

06:25I bought you some of that parking you made yesterday.

06:28For elevenses.

06:29Oh, thanks.

06:30I should...

06:31I should probably return the gesture and give you mine then.

06:34You know me and sweet stuff.

06:37It was great yesterday.

06:39Just...

06:40Just the fact that she didn't run a mile at having a hot chocolate with me.

06:43I know.

06:44I feel like we might finally be getting somewhere.

06:47Oh, that's great.

06:48But...

06:49Maybe...

06:50Proceed with caution.

06:51Yeah, I know.

06:52But apart from...

06:53Something felt...

06:54Different about April yesterday.

06:56I'm...

06:57I'm gonna ask her round again for tea with Leo.

06:59Okay.

07:00But...

07:01But nothing, Rhona.

07:02I've...

07:03I've gotta take this chance while she's not pushing me away.

07:06I...

07:07I think we might be close to getting her home.

07:09I hope so.

07:24How you doing?

07:25Yeah, just...

07:27Trying to do what you said and put Callum at the back of my mind.

07:30Only you can't, right?

07:31It's written all over your face.

07:33I am trying, alright?

07:34Well, you're not trying hard enough, evidently.

07:36Well, I'm not gonna tell anyone.

07:38I know.

07:39Because you're not gonna be here.

07:41What?

07:42I'm gonna get you away for a bit.

07:44I need someone up in Newcastle with everything that's happened here.

07:47I'm...

07:48I'm thinking it should be you.

07:51Newcastle?

07:52Mmm.

07:53Kills two birds, right?

07:54You'd be helping me out whilst getting your head straight up.

07:57I dunno.

07:59I'd sort you out with a place, obviously.

08:04Just dealing nothing else.

08:06Just dealing.

08:07You have my word.

08:09OK.

08:10OK, fine.

08:11I'll do it.

08:12Top girl.

08:13Hey.

08:14Hiya.

08:15So what's up?

08:16Well, I wondered if you fancy going to the hot and bonfire with me and Harriet and I knew

08:20if I text you, you'd have time to think of an excuse.

08:22Uncle Rabbit going?

08:23He is staying here watching Jimmy's fireworks spectacular over the fence with Kev.

08:30Wow.

08:31That sounds...

08:32Sounds cosy.

08:33You know, the more I think about this little stupid vowel renewal thing.

08:34I'm not convinced Robert wants it.

08:35Not really.

08:36But is that why he said yes to Kev so fast when he asked him?

08:38Well, he thinks he owes him, doesn't he?

08:39He's trying to do the decent thing by him.

08:40Well, that's not caring about me.

08:41So stop being an idiot pushing him away.

08:42Not really.

08:43Not really.

08:44And you are all right with me doing me rap at the end, yeah?

08:45You know, I cut out my mind.

08:46You know, I'm not convinced Robert wants it.

08:47I'm not convinced Robert wants it.

08:48Not really.

08:49Well, is that why he said yes to Kev so fast when he asked him?

08:50Well, he thinks he owes him, doesn't he?

08:51He's trying to do the decent thing by him.

08:52Well, that's not caring about me.

08:53So stop being an idiot pushing him away.

08:54And tell him how you really feel instead.

08:55And you are all right with me doing me rap at the end, yeah?

08:58You know, I cut out my mind.

08:59I'm not sure.

09:00I'm sorry.

09:01I'm sorry.

09:02I'm sorry.

09:03I'm sorry.

09:04I'm sorry.

09:05I'm sorry.

09:06I'm sorry.

09:07I'm sorry.

09:08I'm sorry.

09:09And you are all right with me doing me rap at the end, yeah?

09:13You know, I cut out most of the really bad bits.

09:15Wouldn't be my choice, but it's your day.

09:18It's having a vicar for the mate, innit?

09:20And how do you feel about having tequila slammers and cigars on the altar for after?

09:25Like you should know when to stop.

09:27Well, he said.

09:29Right.

09:30I need to see a parishioner.

09:32So if we're all set here, I'll see you at home later, Kev, yeah?

09:36Yes, me lay on.

09:37In a bit, Chief.

09:38Thanks, Charles.

09:39Tequila and cigars?

09:40I'm excited.

09:41Yeah, we could get Victor makers a cake with, er, hundreds of thousands on top and our faces

09:51on sticks.

09:52You're just the big kid, aren't you?

09:54No.

09:55I'm old man and you know it's sweet cheeks.

10:00Aaron, hi.

10:02I reckon everyone in here's at least ten years younger than me.

10:15Well, you are meant to be having your granddaughter's kid, so you're not gonna be 19, are you?

10:19What if they totally figure it out?

10:22I've got this weird feeling in my tummy that they're gonna do.

10:25Well, that's probably because you've downed a gazillion gallons of water.

10:29Besides, none of the stuff you worry about is the stuff that actually happens.

10:34Says who?

10:35All right then.

10:36Did you go around worrying that you'd accidentally let Ross knock you up again before it actually

10:41happened?

10:42Shh!

10:43Yeah.

10:44You know, if I spoil this for Sarah, I am never gonna forgive myself.

11:02You comfortable there?

11:04Yeah, good.

11:05I was feeling a bit ropey.

11:07I've got morning sickness.

11:08Have you been suffering much?

11:09You could say.

11:11I saw on your notes you're a surrogate.

11:15Yeah.

11:16Are you your mum?

11:17Oh, no.

11:19That's Sarah.

11:20Yeah, Sarah's my granddaughter.

11:22She can't be here today.

11:24She's really got it though, ain't she?

11:26Yeah, got it.

11:32So is everything okay?

11:34Fine.

11:35I was just locating the heartbeat.

11:38There you are.

11:39Good and strong.

11:40You've got a fidgety one too, by the looks.

11:41Oh.

11:42So it's all good then?

11:43Um, the measurements and everything?

11:44Baby's ever so slightly petite for your dates, but nothing significant.

11:45Certainly no cause of a concern.

11:46That's amazing.

11:47Hey, Jess.

11:48Yeah, it's great.

11:56You're welcome.

17:28out of some misplaced loyalty oh I've left Kev playing dress up with mum trying to find a tie to

17:35bring out his eyes you know I meet a lot of grooms none as excited as Kev he gave us a little taster of

17:43his vows earlier made mum be like misty eyed which is saying something no pressure on me then yeah

18:26convincing excuse as to why I didn't tell her in the first place well like what I don't know I can't
