00:00The End
00:30Morning, Vicar.
00:39Oi. Talking to you.
00:41What? Oh, morning.
00:45So, my parents had a chat with you then?
00:48Yes, we had a discussion about your attitude and general behaviour.
00:51Really?
00:51And the possibility of you returning to the youth club.
00:54I heard what happened with you and that Gavin bloke.
00:56Did you?
00:56I can see you in your new light now, Ashley.
00:58I'd hate for you to be late for school.
01:00Is it in the flock today, is it?
01:02Yes, as a matter of fact. Goodbye.
01:04Oh, about the youth club.
01:06I've given it a lot of thought and I've decided I'll give you a chance.
01:09I will come back.
01:10Marvellous.
01:12Now that Joe's just not at home during the day,
01:14I've decided to go back to the haulage here.
01:16Again?
01:17We lost you all five minutes last time
01:19before Terry had to come and pick you up.
01:21I wasn't ready, but I can't leave Sean on his own forever.
01:23I have been there, keeping an eye on things.
01:26Well, when you've not been distracted by some disastrous
01:28and highly unsuitable fling.
01:31If you mean Frankie, unsuitable or not,
01:33it wasn't just a fling.
01:35Come off it.
01:36She was a truck driver.
01:37Never have dreamed of going out with anyone like that
01:39when Dad was alive.
01:40Don't be ridiculous.
01:41Well, let's be honest here.
01:42Frankie was nothing more to you than a bit of rough.
01:44Why am I even discussing this with you?
01:47Although, to be fair,
01:48she didn't seem that taken with you either.
01:51Then why did she come back the other night?
01:53She couldn't work out whether she wanted to be with you or not.
01:56Seeing you again obviously made up her mind.
01:59She didn't even stay to say goodbye.
02:02I do envy you sometimes.
02:05You wouldn't be the first.
02:06You have the emotional complexity of a five-year-old.
02:09Life is really very simple.
02:12It is about money and power.
02:15Everything else is just a distraction.
02:17So forget about Frankie.
02:18Try and work out what it is you really want.
02:19Oh, I have.
02:21I'm not going to take a leaf out of your book.
02:23I'm going to go out and get what I want.
02:26See you later.
02:35Morning, love.
02:35I'll just stick the kettle on.
02:36Oh, all right.
02:37Oh, Sarah, for God's sake.
03:03How long are you going to keep this up for?
03:05Can you manage any more?
03:07I'm false.
03:09The least we could do is try and behave like responsible adults.
03:12I'll get you some more juice.
03:14You know, I haven't got time to be in here playing childish games with you.
03:17So go then.
03:17I keep thinking about us.
03:19I keep wanting to come back here and try and sort this whole mess out.
03:23What have I got to do?
03:24I have nothing more to say to you, Jack.
03:26Especially now.
03:28So later then.
03:29What's the point in going over it again and again?
03:33What's the point?
03:33Is that right?
03:34Is that how much our marriage has come to mean to you?
03:37Don't do this now.
03:38Oh, well, if you can't even be bothered to all.
03:41Trying to work out how we got to this, how we can make things better.
03:44Why the flame in hell should I?
03:45Jack.
03:46So that's it.
03:46All those years of marriage, up the spout.
03:49Just because you can't be bothered to do anything about it.
03:52I'll leave you to explain that to the kids then, shall I?
03:55Jack.
03:56It's all right, darling.
04:05Everything's going to be all right.
04:08Pay for these later, Mum.
04:11Scott, will you look after the shot while I make a cup of tea?
04:13Oh, Mum.
04:14I won't be a minute.
04:19See you later.
04:20When's your new vet starting?
04:22I don't know.
04:23I hope he's dishy.
04:25Well, who cares?
04:26Blimey, at your age.
04:27The fun I used to have.
04:29I'm surprised you can remember that far back.
04:32Kelly.
04:33What do you want?
04:34Lynn's going to be around for a few days.
04:37And?
04:39Well, I just thought, you know, in case you saw us two together and you weren't prepared for it.
04:43You know what I mean?
04:44What do you think I care who you're with anymore?
04:46I was only thinking about you, Kelly.
04:47Well, do us a favour and forget about me.
04:51I forgot about you a long time ago.
04:53John Wiley.
04:57John Wiley.
04:58W.Y.
05:00You're auctioning his farm.
05:03He must have left some sort of contact number.
05:06Well, if you hear anything, could you...
05:08Hello?
05:11Thank you very much.
05:12Hey, have they hung up?
05:14Here, I'll have a go.
05:15Well, they don't know anything.
05:17They called it a vacant lot or something.
05:20Building society's listed as the owner.
05:22Look, we'll find him, Emily.
05:24He's not been at market.
05:26Astrid's not seen him at the church.
05:28It's like he's just vanished.
05:30He'll turn up.
05:32What if he's done something?
05:34What if he's done something to himself?
05:36No.
05:36No, no, not your dad.
05:38He'll be fine, I'm sure.
05:40Blame in heck!
05:41Lisa's going to do enough when she sees that in here, Dad.
05:43It'll be finished by the time she gets back.
05:45Ooh!
05:46Ooh, global warming!
05:48We've only got to live round here to know it's a load of rubbish.
05:51Ooh!
05:51Ooh!
05:53How you called, love?
05:54Oh, I...
05:54Er, make a fire then, shall I?
05:56Ah!
05:59Er, well...
06:01You go and get the logs.
06:02Yeah.
06:03I've only just got in!
06:05Oh, Zach, look at the state of this place.
06:08Haven't health visitors said it needed tidying up before she comes back?
06:11Yeah, I know, yeah.
06:11The big stye's not cleaner than this.
06:13Really?
06:14Your oil pit looks cleaner than here, Lisa.
06:17Look at her!
06:19Isn't she the picture of health?
06:21There is no wrong with that child.
06:23Even a health visitor can see that.
06:25Yeah, aye.
06:29Zach!
06:29What is that in the middle of my floor?
06:35It's an engine, a four-stroke.
06:38What the hell is it doing in my house?
06:40I've no idea.
06:41Butch!
06:42How could you do this to me?
06:44How could you do this to me now?
06:46Would the health visitor do round any time?
06:48Are you listening?
06:50You've gone too far this time.
06:51Now, come on, out with it.
06:53Let you want a good clip behind the ear?
06:55Yes, Dad.
06:58Sorry.
06:59Shh!
07:04Look!
07:05Going in the car.
07:08Have a good.
07:09Millie?
07:09Have a good.
07:11Ashley, hi.
07:12Do you have a minute?
07:13Now, have you seen Bernice yet?
07:14Have you told her?
07:15Nearly.
07:16Not quite.
07:17What does that mean?
07:19I did try again this morning, but just as I plucked up courage, Diana appeared and the
07:23moment was gone.
07:24Oh, Ashley.
07:25If you're serious about it, you won't let a little thing like her mother stand in your
07:28way.
07:29Won't I?
07:31No, you're right.
07:32Um, what about you and Frankie?
07:35Like I said, I'm going to go and find her.
07:37Good for you.
07:38So go and find Bernice and tell her how you feel.
07:41Yes, I will.
07:43Almost immediately.
07:44Good luck.
07:46I can't find a thing.
07:48You turn your back for five minutes and the place falls apart.
07:50Yeah, well, to be fair, Chris, it has been a bit longer than five minutes.
07:53I mean, yeah, and we need another trouble.
07:56Chris, another flying visit, then?
07:59No.
07:59This time I'm back for good.
08:01Are you sure you're up for it?
08:03Feeling better than ever.
08:05And I couldn't bear to think of you struggling along on your own.
08:07Don't go too far, Terry, in case he has another panic attack.
08:12All right, have you used the phone?
08:14Hey, what do you think you're doing?
08:17Just phoning me a man, wishing her happy birthday.
08:19Then you use a pay phone and do it in your own time.
08:22Chris.
08:22Looks like it's been a bit of a holiday camp while I've been away.
08:25Well, that's over, I'm afraid.
08:26I'm back.
08:27So let's all get back to work, shall we?
08:31That Ashley's not been mithering you, as he loved.
08:34No, why would he do that?
08:36No, it's just that he was looking for you yesterday, and I wondered if he'd had chance of a word.
08:40No.
08:41What about?
08:43Dare say it's nothing important.
08:45Well, then why did you think he'd be mithering me?
08:48I don't know.
08:48It's just a figure of speech.
08:50Mum, what are you trying to say?
08:52Nothing.
08:53Mum?
08:53I think there's something he wants to say.
08:57About what?
09:00Well, Bernice, the thing is, he wants you.
09:05I'm sorry?
09:07Wants you to help him out with the sale at the village hall.
09:09I said you were far too busy.
09:11Oh, is that all?
09:12Yes.
09:13Oh, Diane.
09:16What a pleasant surprise.
09:18Alan, I was hoping for a word.
09:19Can't stop.
09:20So, if he does find you, just send him along to me first, would you?
09:25Yeah, all right, Mum.
09:29Honestly, Alan, sometimes I think she's going a bit senile.
09:32I think she's perfectly charming.
09:35Oh, you wanted a word.
09:38Well, advice, really.
09:39I still don't know whose name's going to go on Gavin's loan.
09:42Well, I did offer.
09:43I know you did, and I'm ever so grateful, but...
09:46I do understand.
09:48What am I going to do?
09:49Well, I shouldn't worry.
09:51I think you'll find something will turn up.
09:54Seems things have got pretty slack while I've been away.
09:57Slack?
09:58You take weeks off because you can't face coming into the office,
10:01and then you start throwing your weight around
10:03the minute you get back.
10:04I have carried this company.
10:06I'm not going to have you taking cheap shots like that.
10:09Hey, lads, lads, let's not forget that we're all on the same team here.
10:13Oh, Zoe, you come and tell Chris how well we've been doing without him.
10:17Er, no, I just need a quick chat with Pete.
10:21Hiya.
10:22How long have you known?
10:24About what?
10:25She came to see me the other night.
10:26Don't tell me you haven't been in touch.
10:28Look, I'm sorry, Zoe, but what could I do?
10:30Where is she?
10:31Zoe?
10:31Let me put it this way.
10:33Give me an address and you get to keep your job.
10:35You're joking, right?
10:37Try me.
10:39I don't know where she's living, but she's working in Manchester,
10:42at a warehouse on the Keys.
10:44That's all I can tell you, Zoe.
10:47She's not driving you mad yet then, Seth?
10:50I am?
10:51No.
10:52She's the perfect lodger, your mother.
10:54Oh, Seth.
10:55Anywho, are you sure you're not sisters, you two?
10:59Oh, Seth.
11:00Sometimes, you know, I could just eat you up.
11:02Get him another pint.
11:04Thanks very much, Seth.
11:06And a half would be plenty.
11:10Denise, I simply must talk to you in private.
11:13There you are.
11:14I need a quick word before you do.
11:15No, no, my mind's made up and I will not be swayed from my course.
11:18I really think you ought to listen to me first.
11:20Denise, if you please.
11:21Ashley.
11:21Look, it's all right, Mum.
11:22I know what he's going to say.
11:23You do?
11:24Yes.
11:24Now, you do Seth's half and you come through to the back, Ashley.
11:27This is incredibly difficult for me.
11:49Don't be silly, Ashley.
11:50Mum's already told me what you're going to ask me.
11:52Has she?
11:53And while it hasn't come at the most convenient of times, you've done an awful lot for me in the past.
11:57So, of course, I'm going to say yes.
11:59Denise, I don't know what to say.
12:04Don't you need more time to think it all through?
12:06Why should I?
12:07You've asked.
12:07I've agreed.
12:08Now, come on, I'll be off with you before I change my mind.
12:11To be honest, this has all come as a bit of a shock.
12:13I thought I might have to plead my case a little.
12:15Well, there's no point in beating about the bush, is there?
12:17We've known each other long enough not to have to stand on ceremony.
12:21And you're quite certain that this is what you want?
12:24Ashley, I don't know why you're making such a big deal of it.
12:26You must be doing this kind of thing every fortnight.
12:30I assure you that's not the case.
12:33Well, you just tell me when and where and I'll be there with my homemade jam and whatever else you think will come in handy.
12:38Really?
12:39Now, is there anything else?
12:41I suppose now we've got the formalities over with.
12:46Now, is it in the church hall or the vicarage?
12:49I don't follow you.
12:50The sale.
12:51I beg your pardon?
12:52Ashley, did you or did you not just ask me to out you out with the church sale?
12:57Oh.
12:58Yes, yes, yes, yes, I did.
13:01And I said I would.
13:02Blimey, Ashley, you haven't been drinking, have you?
13:04No, no, unfortunately, I haven't.
13:07Ashley, you mustn't be frightened of asking me things.
13:09You've been so kind and supportive to me over the whole Gavin thing.
13:13Yes.
13:15Actually, that's really what I wanted to talk to you about.
13:18Ashley, it's been wonderful having you around.
13:21Bernice.
13:22A friend.
13:23A man I can trust.
13:24Someone who's not going to try and take advantage of the situation.
13:28No.
13:29No, of course not.
13:30Which is why I can be myself with you.
13:32Tell you anything.
13:34You're a friend.
13:35No strings.
13:36So, Ashley, of course I'm going to help you out with the church sale, you silly thing.
13:48It's the same every year.
13:50I mean, how stupid can people get?
13:52How many times do you see the poster?
13:53They're for life, and they're not.
13:54For Christmas.
13:54Every year I get about a dozen phone calls saying, can you come and pick them up, because
13:58they're not wanted.
13:59And you wouldn't want a little fella like you.
14:03Do you know old him, Kelly?
14:06No.
14:07Do you not think he's gorgeous?
14:10Yeah.
14:10We'll have to find him at home somewhere.
14:13Best off with the mothers, though, when they're that young.
14:16Erm, Kelly.
14:19Here's a list of kennels.
14:20Can you give him a call?
14:21We've got to nip out again after all in a day's work, eh?
14:24Half a lager, please, darling.
14:45Well, er, thanks awfully.
14:47You've been very kind.
14:48Actually.
14:49It's quite all right.
14:50Bernice has agreed to my request.
14:51Thank you, Diane.
14:52Is everything all right?
14:55Yeah, fine, yeah.
14:58Although it looks like I'm stuck with the cakes and a homemade preserved stall.
15:01You are?
15:02Sale in the village hall.
15:04Oh, that's nice.
15:05I'd keep a low profile if I were you, otherwise we'd be after you next.
15:09This yours, is it?
15:11Yeah.
15:11Yeah, and so is this.
15:12It's the bill for your works party.
15:14I was going to give it to Richie, but seeing as you're in...
15:17Erm, I can't pay this for a while, Bernice.
15:20You've got it till tomorrow.
15:21I run a business, not a charity.
15:28Hiya.
15:33Where's Poppy?
15:35Oh, I put it in the back.
15:36I kept yapping.
15:37I couldn't hear myself think.
15:39How'd you get on with the kennels?
15:41Oh, erm, I couldn't get through.
15:43Hello, vet surgery.
15:50Mandy?
15:51Hiya.
15:51What?
15:52What?
15:53Tomorrow?
15:54No, yeah.
15:55Well, that's fantastic, yeah.
15:57I'll come and pick...
15:57I'll come and pick you up from the station.
16:00Yeah?
16:02All right, then.
16:02I'll see you tomorrow, then.
16:03Oh, all right.
16:04Bye.
16:04Bye.
16:05Is she coming back?
16:08Tomorrow.
16:09Oh, Paddy, that's brilliant.
16:16Is everything all right?
16:17You seem a little tense.
16:23Sorry.
16:25Just being here, I'm not quite used to it.
16:28I keep expecting Rachel to walk in.
16:35It's still too early to carry on as normal in her house, isn't it?
16:41I feel a bit like I'm betraying her.
16:45No, that's wrong.
16:47I'm quite sure she'd approve of us being friends.
16:52Yes, of being friends.
16:54But we've gone a little beyond that now, haven't we?
16:58More wine.
17:15So the office is coming round tomorrow,
17:16and you decide to fix an engine in the middle of the living room?
17:20Put a newspaper down.
17:21This is about our little girl.
17:23All I'm asking is that we're seen to bring her up healthy and proper.
17:27I know, love, but we've done no wrong.
17:31I'm not changing anything just because some posh print from the council
17:35who probably doesn't even have any kids of her own says I should.
17:38All I'm saying is we can't be seen to bring her up in an environment
17:43somewhere that's bad for her health in the long run, can we?
17:46The little poppet.
17:49Bless her.
17:50Yes, in my line of work, I've been to some of the finest houses in the country.
17:54That must be nice.
17:55Hmm, yeah, I've been to most of them.
17:57Chatsworth, Highgrove.
17:59Pentonville.
18:01Embecile.
18:01In fact, I'm doing some valuations tomorrow at Penniston Hall.
18:05If you care to join me, we could make a daily.
18:08I'd love to, Eric, but to be honest,
18:10I find old bits and pieces ever so tedious.
18:13But ask me again if you ever do anything interesting.
18:15Oh, Jack! Jack!
18:20Here's the money for Sarah's car.
18:22Oh, thanks.
18:23You know, I was hoping this would solve some of our problems.
18:26Pay a few bills and that.
18:27I thought it'd make Sarah happy,
18:29but it just seems to have made things worse.
18:31Oh, sorry about that.
18:32I'll take it back if you like.
18:33I don't think so.
18:35That car's cost me enough as it is.
18:38Bye, please.
18:39I just don't know where else to turn.
18:42It's not like me to have to just run away and leave everything.
18:45I don't know, love.
18:47Been a bad time for farmers everywhere.
18:49Bad as anyone can remember.
18:51So am I just supposed to forget about him?
18:54Times were hard,
18:55so he just vanished off the face of the earth.
18:57Bye-bye, Dad.
18:58Emily, nobody's saying that, love.
19:01What, then?
19:02I can't just sit here and do nothing.
19:05What if he needs me?
19:07Well, we've done everything we can think of, love.
19:10Have we?
19:11You know, sometimes I wonder what's kept you in the village for so long.
19:18I mean, now that Alice has gone and everything.
19:22Um, I don't know.
19:24The diner, for one, I suppose.
19:25You could sell that.
19:26I mean, if you really wanted to,
19:30you'd probably get a good price for it.
19:32Uh, I'm not sure I'd want to sell it.
19:34It's not just that, anyway.
19:37Roy and Chris are the nearest I have got to family now.
19:40Joseph's starting school.
19:43Friends like you.
19:45And, you know, my roots.
19:47My roots are here.
19:50Here's to friends.
19:51Oh, I ought to be getting back.
20:01Yeah, I've got some marking to catch up on, actually.
20:04And I could do with an early night.
20:06Thanks, it's been really nice.
20:08Shall I walk you home?
20:10Graham, it's only up the road.
20:11It's not as if Emma Dale's full of mad X-men.
20:13Hello, Jack.
20:32Blimey, Andy.
20:34How long have you been stood there in the dark?
20:37I couldn't sleep.
20:39Is everybody else in bed?
20:41Yeah.
20:41Come on, you should be up as well.
20:44School in the morning.
20:47There's something I need to ask you.
20:49In the morning, eh, son?
20:50It's late now.
20:51Please, Jack.
20:53It's important.
20:59You and Sarah are going to split up.
21:02I don't know, son.
21:06I can't understand how all this is happening.
21:09Nor can I.
21:10Everyone seems so happy over Christmas.
21:14What's gone wrong?
21:19I'm not sure.
21:21I just think...
21:23You know, me and Sarah have been up against it for a long time.
21:28You're only supposed to help each other through the hard times.
21:32And you have.
21:33Yeah, but there are supposed to be some good times to keep you going.
21:37I don't think there have been enough of those lately.
21:40But they'll come back.
21:42Well, I know that, son.
21:44I just don't think Sarah's all that sure anymore.
21:48You've got to tell her.
21:51Well, I doubt I can find the words.
21:52If you and Sarah break up, then, we all do.
21:59That's not true.
22:03They won't let you adopt me if you're on your own.
22:05You need to be together.
22:08Listen, no matter what happens, you and me will always be together.
22:11Unless...
22:12Unless you chose to be with Sarah, of course.
22:15I want to be with both of you.
22:17I don't know if that's going to be possible, son.
22:19But it has to be.
22:21I want a family.
22:23I want you as my dad.
22:25Well, I am, son.
22:27I'll always be that for you.
22:29Not if the papers don't come through.
22:31Well, being part of a family is more than a name on a bit of paper.
22:34You know that.
22:35Don't split up with her, Jack.
22:37Please don't.
22:38No, it might not come to that.
22:42I'll try and sort things out.
22:44I promise you.
22:46I'll sort it.
23:08I'll try and write for you.
23:17I'll try and sort it.
