00:05:17Johnny!
00:05:20John?
00:05:23Where the hell are you?
00:05:28Taxi?
00:05:38No, no, no.
00:06:08Finsbury Police Station?
00:06:20It's Mrs Smith speaking.
00:06:26Stockwell Police Station?
00:06:29It is Mrs Smith speaking.
00:06:31I'm worried about my husband, Mr John Smith.
00:06:34John Smith?
00:06:36He's a taxi driver.
00:06:37He's a taxi driver.
00:06:38He's a taxi driver?
00:06:39He was due back at 12 o'clock last night.
00:06:41And he was due back at half past seven this morning.
00:06:43I'm worried.
00:06:44Well, he might have fallen asleep at the wheel of his taxi.
00:06:47At average, I suppose.
00:06:49Normal, really.
00:06:50Medium build.
00:06:51Medium build.
00:06:52Brown hair.
00:06:53Brown eyes.
00:06:54Sort of cuddly.
00:06:55Sort of cuddly.
00:06:56I'm sure well sorted out, Mrs Smith.
00:06:58Now, could you just give me your address, please?
00:07:03And here's a copy of Mr Smith's hospital report.
00:07:05How long's he going to be?
00:07:06I've been waiting 20 minutes already.
00:07:08Here comes our hero now.
00:07:09You know, I love this place.
00:07:12Mine's bigger than yours, Johnny boy.
00:07:14Good luck, mate.
00:07:15Break your leg, Quended.
00:07:20Oh, hello.
00:07:22He's on a high dose of tranquilizers.
00:07:24Yeah, I can see that.
00:07:27Mr John Smith?
00:07:28Oh, yes.
00:07:29Detective Sergeant Trout from the Stockwell Police.
00:07:32Morning.
00:07:34Here's Mr Smith's medication.
00:07:36Medication.
00:07:37And here are the keys for Mr Smith's taxi.
00:07:39Oh, thank you very much.
00:07:40No, no.
00:07:41I'll be driving you home.
00:07:42And taking a statement.
00:07:43Is he all right to walk?
00:07:45Yes.
00:07:46Yeah, no, I'm...
00:07:47Oh.
00:07:49Come on, you.
00:07:50Home, James.
00:07:51No, it's John.
00:07:52My name's John.
00:07:53Everybody.
00:07:56You're a nice nurse, ain't you?
00:07:57You're a lovely nurse.
00:07:58Eh?
00:07:59It's not the cough that carries you off.
00:08:07It's the coffee that carry you off.
00:08:16Who's driver?
00:08:17I am.
00:08:19Listen.
00:08:20I am perfectly okay to drive.
00:08:24No, you're not.
00:08:25Now, 104 Stockwell Place, yeah?
00:08:28Hey.
00:08:30That's my address too.
00:08:58I won't give you a tip.
00:09:16Johnny!
00:09:19Hello, Susie.
00:09:20What the hell's happened?
00:09:22He's got a slight concussion.
00:09:23Oh, my God.
00:09:25It'll be okay, Mrs Smith.
00:09:26Oh, no, no, no, that's Susie.
00:09:28Save some poor old lady from two muggers.
00:09:30Johnny!
00:09:31You better get him to bed straight away.
00:09:33Well, if that's an order, babe.
00:09:35You come down and let us in, please.
00:09:37I think you should ask his wife to do that.
00:09:39She lives next door.
00:09:42Sorry, madam.
00:09:43Er, it's Miss, actually.
00:09:46But I'm open to offers, babe.
00:09:49John!
00:09:49Oh, thank God.
00:09:51I'm going to buy you a cake, Johnny boy.
00:09:53Darling, your head.
00:09:55I'm fine.
00:09:57That's my Michelle.
00:09:59Detective Sergeant Troughton, Stockwell Police.
00:10:02I'll be right down.
00:10:04Come on.
00:10:06That's my Michelle.
00:10:08Yeah, you said.
00:10:09And this is Stockwell.
00:10:11Yeah.
00:10:11What time is it?
00:10:129.25.
00:10:13Oh, in the morning?
00:10:14Yes.
00:10:15Schedule.
00:10:16What?
00:10:16I'm well out on my schedule.
00:10:19Oh, my God.
00:10:20It's Thursday morning.
00:10:22Johnny!
00:10:23Oh, my baby.
00:10:24Hello, sweetheart.
00:10:25What on earth's happened?
00:10:29Oh, you poor darling.
00:10:30What a night.
00:10:31I'm late to be morning shift, sweetheart.
00:10:33You are going to bed, sweetheart.
00:10:34No, listen, darling.
00:10:35No bed.
00:10:37All right, Johnny.
00:10:38What the hell's happened to you, mate?
00:10:40Not now, Gary.
00:10:41Gary Gardner.
00:10:42I've got the flat below them.
00:10:43Are you delivering something?
00:10:45Detective Sergeant Troughton, Stockwell Police.
00:10:48The old bill?
00:10:48Darling, I really should get back on the run.
00:10:55No way.
00:10:56Come on.
00:11:05Right.
00:11:05I'm going to make you a nice cup of coffee.
00:11:07You know, I really haven't got time, sweetie.
00:11:09Caffeine.
00:11:10It'll do you good.
00:11:11Would you like a coffee, Sergeant?
00:11:13No, thanks, Mrs Smith.
00:11:14I'll take your husband's statement.
00:11:15Be on my way.
00:11:16Two sugars on me, love.
00:11:17And the hospital gave him this medication.
00:11:21My poor baby.
00:11:23Yeah.
00:11:24Come on, mate, let's quit, Sergeant.
00:11:25I really don't need to be off.
00:11:27So do I, Mr Smith.
00:11:28Yes, let the Sergeant get back to his duties.
00:11:30Do you know, Sergeant, there's a man knocked down in Stockwell every five minutes.
00:11:33Really?
00:11:34Yeah, and he's getting bloody fed up of it.
00:11:37Yeah, all right.
00:11:41Last night, at approximately 2,300 hours,
00:11:44you were driving your taxi
00:11:45where you witnessed two youths attempting to steal an old lady's handbag.
00:11:49Bloody hell.
00:11:51You intervened in the struggle.
00:11:53Twit.
00:11:54Aren't you going to be late for work, sir?
00:11:56Work?
00:11:57I'm one of the government's vital statistics.
00:11:59Beg your pardon?
00:12:00I'm temporarily unemployed.
00:12:02I see.
00:12:03Although I'm thinking of making it permanent.
00:12:05Really?
00:12:06Yeah.
00:12:06The hours are good.
00:12:07The hours.
00:12:10So, Mr Smith.
00:12:14Allow me.
00:12:15You two carry on.
00:12:17Hello, the Smith residence.
00:12:21No, I'm not Mr Smith.
00:12:24Yes, he is, but he's incapacitated at the moment.
00:12:27Evening who?
00:12:29Echo?
00:12:32London Evening Echo?
00:12:33Well, I'm Mr Smith's sort of press officer.
00:12:40How can I help you?
00:12:41OK, just to get this straight, the two youths ran off.
00:12:44Yeah, down what blue road?
00:12:46You'll never guess who's just been on the phone.
00:12:47Shoosh!
00:12:48And it all ended up with me being hit by a handbag.
00:12:50Daymuggers.
00:12:51That's new, Sergeant.
00:12:52Your coffee's on the table there, then push off.
00:12:54Next thing I know, I wake up in hospital.
00:12:57OK.
00:12:58I'll leave you the telephone number of the police station
00:13:00in case Mr Smith remembers any more.
00:13:02Call me any time or speak to one of my men.
00:13:06Right.
00:13:07I'll drop you off at the station, yeah?
00:13:09You'll stay in here.
00:13:11Ten minute walk.
00:13:12Do me good.
00:13:12I'll see you around.
00:13:13And don't you worry, Sergeant.
00:13:15I don't believe half the stuff I read about you boys in the newspapers.
00:13:19Gardner, wasn't it, sir?
00:13:20But you can call me Gary.
00:13:22I know what I'd call you, sir.
00:13:26Quite a morning, eh?
00:13:27And the best is yet to come.
00:13:28Do you know who that was?
00:13:29So, I've left my two mobiles in the taxi.
00:13:32Two mobiles?
00:13:33I need to make a phone call, and quick.
00:13:35What's wrong with this?
00:13:37Yeah.
00:13:39Now, you wait out in the hall
00:13:41and keep Michelle out of here.
00:13:44What do you mean, keep Michelle out of here?
00:13:45Just do it, as you told me.
00:13:46Well, don't you want to know what's coming?
00:13:47Look, madam, as I've said, I'm sorry.
00:14:04You've had time to email every hospital in the country.
00:14:07I keep telling you, madam, our computer went down, but it's sorted now.
00:14:11My husband could be lying in a hospital bed on one of those vibrators.
00:14:22London Evening Echo.
00:14:26London Evening Echo.
00:14:27Gary Gardner.
00:14:29Yeah, of course you can have my photo.
00:14:30Come on, Steph, come on.
00:14:32I'm very pleased to make your acquaintance.
00:14:33Oh, hey.
00:14:34So, do you want to hear my really exciting news?
00:14:37No, I don't.
00:14:39Right, let's get you in there.
00:14:40Right, I'll pick you up from Tesco's right away, madam.
00:14:44I'm going to have to show off, darling.
00:14:45You're not going anywhere.
00:14:47Now, who wants to hear my really exciting news?
00:14:49You, clear off.
00:14:50No way!
00:14:51I want to be here when the reporter and the photographer turn up.
00:14:54What reporter?
00:14:55London Evening Echo.
00:14:57Interview, photo.
00:14:58Interview?
00:15:00Photo.
00:15:01Oh, God.
00:15:02I need to get changed.
00:15:04I'll wear black because I thought you'd been killed.
00:15:07You absolute idiot.
00:15:11What?
00:15:12What do you mean?
00:15:13You'll be on the front page.
00:15:15Stockwell taxi driver.
00:15:16Hero.
00:15:20I can't be seen in the papers.
00:15:25What do you mean?
00:15:26I can't be seen in the papers.
00:15:27You'll ruin me.
00:15:28I've got to get over to see Stephanie right away.
00:15:31Why would it ruin you?
00:15:32Oh, Stephanie.
00:15:35She's a lady.
00:15:36Hey.
00:15:41Hey.
00:15:42Hey.
00:15:42Hey, hey, hey.
00:15:43So you've got a little bit on the side, have you?
00:15:45There's more to Stephanie than there.
00:15:47Oh, she's a big bird, is she?
00:15:48Lovely.
00:15:49Yes.
00:15:49All hell will break loose if Stephanie reads anything in the newspapers about me and Michelle
00:15:53and living in Stockwell.
00:15:55Oh, what?
00:15:55Your girlfriend doesn't know you're married.
00:15:56Stephanie's not my girlfriend.
00:15:59She's my wife.
00:16:01No, no, no, no, Tommy.
00:16:03No.
00:16:03No.
00:16:04You are married to Michelle.
00:16:07Yeah.
00:16:08That too.
00:16:10You've got two wives?
00:16:11Yeah, I've got Michelle here and I've got Stephanie and Finsbury.
00:16:14Bloody hell.
00:16:15I thought you were an ordinary.
00:16:17Stephanie's going to be worried sick.
00:16:19So, you have to get rid of that reporter when you arrive.
00:16:22So hold it.
00:16:22Hold it?
00:16:23My bad.
00:16:25Now.
00:16:26If Gary's going to be your accomplice, Gary wants filling in, mate.
00:16:31Now, give.
00:16:33Okay.
00:16:35Michelle was the first.
00:16:37Oh, it was a lovely wedding.
00:16:39It was in a church.
00:16:41And I met Stephanie four months later.
00:16:43Four months?
00:16:44Well, she just got into my taxi at Victoria Station and when we got back to her flat in
00:16:49Finsbury, I offered to take our cases up.
00:16:53And, whoa, I mean, they were bloody heavy.
00:16:56So, she got me a beer.
00:17:01And, you know, we chatted and she asked me if I wanted another beer and I said yes.
00:17:09You know, we chatted and then she got me another beer and we chatted some more and, you know, then...
00:17:16It's a bit you forgot to mention Michelle when you was doing all this chatting.
00:17:19Well, I'd never met anyone like Stephanie.
00:17:22You know, she'd been a dancer, you know, shows and stuff.
00:17:27We just hit it off.
00:17:29And then one thing led to another and another and another and another.
00:17:41We got engaged that night.
00:17:43What?
00:17:43Did you smell her that day?
00:17:45And you asked Stephanie to marry you?
00:17:47No, she asked me.
00:17:48Really?
00:17:49I didn't have the heart to say no.
00:17:51Bloody hell!
00:17:53We got married in a registry office and I moved into her Finsbury flat.
00:17:57While still living with Michelle in Stockwell?
00:18:00You've committed bigamy, mate.
00:18:02That's what you've done.
00:18:03Well, sort of.
00:18:04Not sort of.
00:18:06100% bigamy.
00:18:07Yeah.
00:18:08It's a criminal offence.
00:18:10Yeah.
00:18:10You could go to jail.
00:18:11Yeah.
00:18:13Yeah.
00:18:13Well, doesn't that worry you?
00:18:15Well, I've been too busy to think about it.
00:18:18Now, I've got to get to Stephanie.
00:18:20She's going to be going out of her mind.
00:18:23Deal with that reporter.
00:18:25What did I tell him?
00:18:26Just make up a story.
00:18:29And keep this show occupied.
00:18:31I'm no good at this sort of thing.
00:18:32I'm not like you.
00:18:34I love them both, Gary.
00:18:36Now, I know it's not right.
00:18:38But they are my whole life and I couldn't bear to lose even one of them.
00:18:40So, just please, just stick by me, mate.
00:18:47Oh, God.
00:18:49It's that reporter.
00:18:51Get rid of them.
00:18:52Give me the keys to your flat.

00:20:55Uh, we'll go in your taxi, shall we?
00:20:57One of Mr Smith behind the wheel, eh?
00:20:59Yeah, great.
00:20:59No, I don't drive.
00:21:01At the moment.
00:21:02Yeah.
00:21:03I got hit very hard with a handbag.
00:21:06My doctor says I mustn't.
00:21:09Shall we?
00:21:25Hello?
00:21:26Hello, sweetie.
00:21:28John, where are you?
00:21:29You're more than two hours late.
00:21:30I'm sorry, gorgeous.
00:21:32Oh, the taxi broke down.
00:21:35I was taking a fare to Luton Airport, and I've conked out miles from anywhere.
00:21:40Oh, I couldn't get to a phone.
00:21:42Why didn't you use your mobile?
00:21:44Well, would you believe it?
00:21:45Someone nicked it last night.
00:21:46Well, where are you calling from now?
00:21:48Oh, I'm in a farmer's cottage on the other side of Luton.
00:21:51I mean, I mean, I'm miles from anywhere.
00:21:53John!
00:21:54What is it?
00:21:55What's happened?
00:21:57Hang on a sec, sweetie.
00:21:58The farmer's just walked in.
00:22:00The farmer?
00:22:01It's definitely evil.
00:22:03Did you get rid of that reporter?
00:22:04Disaster.
00:22:05We bumped into that damn Susie Browning from next door.
00:22:08You know, the one with a big mouth and a small bun.
00:22:10Yeah, yeah, number one.
00:22:11Johnny!
00:22:12Hang on a second, sweetie.
00:22:14The farmer just wants the keys to the taxi.
00:22:16The AA have arrived.
00:22:17What's happened?
00:22:18The stupid woman called me Gary.
00:22:20You are Gary.
00:22:21I know that, but I told the reporter I was you.
00:22:23What?
00:22:24Oh, here comes that sexy Gary Gardner, she says.
00:22:26Have a look at the chocolate cake I got for our brave Johnny, Gary.
00:22:30Well, by then, the game was up.
00:22:32The reporter's...
00:22:32You total idiot.
00:22:33I told you I'd be no good at this.
00:22:41John, answer that, will you?
00:22:46John!
00:22:46Are you still there, John?
00:22:48Yeah, just dealing with the AA man.
00:22:50AA man.
00:22:51John!
00:22:59John!
00:23:01All in hand here, sweetie.
00:23:03You get yourself over to the sports centre and I will see you later.
00:23:07Okay, but I'd better call in at Finsbury Police Station first.
00:23:10Finsbury Police Station.
00:23:11Well, I reported you missing this morning.
00:23:15Missing.
00:23:17Missing?
00:23:18John!
00:23:23Johnny!
00:23:24Where the hell are you?
00:23:27Well, don't you do anything.
00:23:29The taxi's fixed.
00:23:30I'm going to make my way over to Finsbury Police Station.
00:23:32I'm going to sort it all out.
00:23:33I'll be there in ten minutes.
00:23:35On the other side of Luton?
00:23:37Say 15 minutes.
00:23:38Gary?
00:23:40Johnny, are you going to win Gary?
00:23:46Gary?
00:23:49Are you on the phone?
00:23:51Darling!
00:23:52Where's John?
00:23:53That reporter's here with a photographer.
00:24:02I'll be right down.
00:24:03Hey, babe.
00:24:05How you doing with your spots?
00:24:07My what?
00:24:09Gary told these two that you couldn't be seen
00:24:12because you got sexually transmitted spots.
00:24:21Did you tell that reporter I'd got sexually transmitted spots?
00:24:24Why?
00:24:26Why?
00:24:29Oh, you silly...
00:24:31Zod!
00:24:41Zod!
00:24:45John!
00:24:45John!
00:24:45John!
00:24:46John!
00:24:47John!
00:24:48Where's he gone?
00:24:48Don't worry, I'll find him.
00:25:01The farmer speaking.
00:25:03Where's my husband?
00:25:05He's just gone for a wee-wee.
00:25:07Has he had an accident?
00:25:09No, I'm sure he made it in time.
00:25:11Look, I must go.
00:25:13The cows need milking.
00:25:19I'd like to speak to my husband now, please.
00:25:21Well, you'll have to shout.
00:25:22The toilet's at the other end of the barley field.
00:25:25Well, get him to call me back right away.
00:25:26Hang on.
00:25:29I just get something to write on.
00:25:31He knows the number.
00:25:32Fire away.
00:25:347287.
00:25:377287.
00:25:396641.
00:25:426641.
00:25:43That's 020 from where you are.
00:25:45No, it's not.
00:25:46From outside London.
00:25:48Yes, it is.
00:25:51Gary!
00:25:52Bye-bye!
00:25:53I think some of our chickens are coming home to roost.
00:25:56It's the job censor.
00:26:00Me!
00:26:01A farmer!
00:26:02I ask you.
00:26:03I can't find John anywhere.
00:26:05His taxi's still outside.
00:26:07Wow.
00:26:08Well, you'd better come and talk to this reporter.
00:26:10Why the hell did you tell him you were John?
00:26:12Seemed like a good idea at the time.
00:26:14Oh, and that bloody Susie Browning's going to spread it all over Stockwell
00:26:17that I've got to pass after a bloody minute.
00:26:26We can make do with a two-minute interview and a quick photo.
00:26:48As long as we do the photo.
00:26:50Oh, yeah, a photo of Mrs. Smith on her own.
00:26:52No, John.
00:26:53Yeah, you don't take a good picture.
00:26:54That profile is...
00:26:55Oh, thanks.
00:26:56Anyone for a piece of cake?
00:27:04You can't have just disappeared.
00:27:06Another ten minutes and you'll miss this afternoon's edition.
00:27:09This is all your fault, Gary.
00:27:11I thought it must be.
00:27:13So, does anybody want a piece of cake?
00:27:16Oh, my God.
00:27:46Smith.
00:27:47So, you went up and he came down?
00:27:49No, I was at the top.
00:27:50At the top of...
00:27:51Steve, Steve, help me out.
00:27:52Hold on, Dave.
00:27:53Waste of bloody time.
00:27:55Hospital report, John Smith.
00:27:57Oh, that taxi driver.
00:27:59Who deserves a medal?
00:28:00Deserves a kick out of the jacksy.
00:28:01Hang on, Sarge.
00:28:02Now, if all members of the public had a go...
00:28:05Now, that's funny.
00:28:07What?
00:28:08Where did you take Mr. Smith home?
00:28:10Down the road, Stockwell Place.
00:28:12Well, that's what I thought.
00:28:13The hospital's got his address wrong.
00:28:15Typical, eh?
00:28:17How do you think?

00:42:21The reason St Thomas' Hospital have got this other John Smith's address down here as mine
00:42:26is because I was in St Thomas' a couple of days ago.
00:42:30They've got my record confused with this other Mr Smith.
00:42:34You never said you'd been to the hospital, sweetie.
00:42:37Oh, nothing serious, sweetie.
00:42:39What it was, I hit my head on the taxi bonnet, like, boom.
00:42:43Dead unlucky with your head, aren't you, sir?
00:42:46Yeah, I am, ain't I?
00:42:49I mean, I was in and out in five minutes.
00:42:51But, of course, they took down all my particulars.
00:42:55Yeah.
00:42:56Well!
00:42:59Drive safely, Sergeant.
00:43:01Oh, by the way, sir, your head.
00:43:04Yes?
00:43:05Which hospital treated your most recent misfortune, the incident with the beam?
00:43:10Oh, no, they didn't.
00:43:12The farmer's wife was an ex-nurse.
00:43:14She fixed it.
00:43:16I always seem to fall on me feet.
00:43:19I hope you always check what you've landed in.
00:43:22Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:43:23Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, go on, you ain't white.
00:43:25Ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:43:30Oh, thank you.
00:43:31Oh thank you. Hello? Anyone home? Michelle?
00:43:59Mickey, love?
00:44:01Right. Got a phone, John. In Finsbury. Paper. Paper. Phone. What's the phone? What's the bloody phone?
00:44:13Phone. A bit of paper.
00:44:29Phone.
00:44:47Oh, my God.
00:45:17Oh, my God.
00:45:48Oh, please be injured.
00:45:53Oh, God.
00:45:55Please.
00:45:57Please.
00:45:58Please.
00:46:04Hello, this is John Smith.
00:46:08I'm not available yet, so please leave a message.
00:46:10Sorry, sir.
00:46:16All the doors are open.
00:46:19Where are they?
00:46:21Detective Sergeant Porterhouse.
00:46:24Stockwell, please.
00:46:25Finsbury, actually.
00:46:27Finsbury?
00:46:28It's just a matter of a little confirmation.
00:46:30That's all semi-official.
00:46:32Stockwell's not really my jurisdiction,
00:46:34but it's concerning a namesake of yours.
00:46:39Of mine?
00:46:40Yes. Bit of a surprise, eh, Mr. Smith?
00:46:44Yes!
00:46:46I've just been talking to this other Mr. Smith in Finsbury.
00:46:49No!
00:46:51I thought you'd be surprised.
00:46:52Yes!
00:46:53Well, it's all pretty much resolved,
00:46:55but just to set our record straight in Finsbury,
00:47:00I'd like to confirm the cause of your head...
00:47:04injury.
00:47:05The cause of one of its me in Stockwell.
00:47:14Well, I must have been hit by a handbag.
00:47:17Yes, that confirms it.
00:47:19Finsbury, low beam and taxi bonnet,
00:47:21Stockwell, ladies' handbag.
00:47:23Great!
00:47:24Now, if you'll excuse me, Sergeant,
00:47:27I, er, was just about to go to, er,
00:47:32bed.
00:47:33Bed.
00:47:33God, I hope John's home.
00:47:37That bang on the ears made him go really funny.
00:47:40I'll get down to the tube station
00:47:41and wait for the evening echoes to come in.
00:47:46It might seem too early for bed to you, Sergeant,
00:47:48but with all this shift work,
00:47:49it's the only chance the wife and I get from being nooky.
00:47:52You understand.
00:47:53I see you.
00:47:56Hi, Michelle.
00:48:00Bye, Michelle.
00:48:03Oi!
00:48:04Oh, are you Mrs. Michelle Smith?
00:48:06Yes, she's Michelle.
00:48:07Hi, Michelle.
00:48:08Bye, Michelle.
00:48:09Detective Sergeant Porterhouse.
00:48:10Oh, is it about my John?
00:48:12Yes, all sorted.
00:48:13Shut up and push up!
00:48:15Why the hell have you got your trousers off?
00:48:18Off we go.
00:48:19Hold it!
00:48:21Is my John all right?
00:48:23I think so.
00:48:24Yeah, definitely no problem.
00:48:26Goodbye, Mickey.
00:48:29She prefers to be called Michelle.
00:48:31Bye, Michelle.
00:48:32Off we go.
00:48:35Why can Mrs. Smith slap your face?
00:48:37Oh, she likes a bit of rough stuff before our morning session.
00:48:41Bye!
00:48:42You!
00:48:46Can you drop me at the high street?
00:48:48I thought you two were going to bed.
00:48:49Moon cheese and I need to buy some Viagra.
00:48:52You're going to get it now.
00:48:53Bloody hell.
00:48:54Come on, Gary!
00:48:55Come on!
00:49:02Got to go.
00:49:03Sweetheart, relax.
00:49:05No, got to get back on the road.
00:49:07Got to earn that dosh.
00:49:09Absolute disaster.
00:49:11That dizzy bitch Cyril,
00:49:12I go out and buy a newspaper,
00:49:14come back,
00:49:14and the stupid cow is nattering away on the phone
00:49:17while the bath water is overflowing like Niagara Falls.
00:49:20What the hell's happened?
00:49:21We're dailing this frock for some tart and tooting,
00:49:24and now we've got two feet of red water slopping all around.
00:49:28The bloody million!
00:49:31Nightmare.
00:49:31Now, I've got to nip off.
00:49:33No, lovey.
00:49:34Your flat is directly under ours.
00:49:37You could have the red bloody sea in your flat by now.
00:49:40Oh, I'm having a bit of a come over.
00:49:46I haven't read that yet.
00:49:47What the hell are you doing?
00:50:08Eat a newspaper.
00:50:12Get here!
00:50:13Get here!
00:50:17Yeah, listen.
00:50:18You was quiet.
00:50:19I was hungry.
00:50:21He's not actually eating a newspaper, is he?
00:50:25Just digesting the news, maybe.
00:50:31Well, it is today's.
00:50:34It's nice and fresh.
00:50:35It's your turn, I'm all right.
00:50:39I don't know, but ever since he's had that bang on the head,
00:50:42he's gone really funny.
00:50:46Hi, John.
00:50:51Oh!
00:50:52Mr. Smith!
00:50:52We don't need a taxi.
00:51:03We're just round the corner.
00:51:04Well, I need a taxi.
00:51:05I'll see you back in the flat, yeah?
00:51:08It's not well.
00:51:10Drive!
00:51:10You don't need all those bloody echoes!
00:51:24Oh, dear!
00:51:31Echo!
00:51:32Round and evening echo!
00:51:34Evening echo!
00:51:35Oi!
00:51:36Hey, come here!
00:51:37We're just good friends.
00:52:01Oh, she's up.
00:52:03Here we go.
00:52:05There we are.
00:52:06Let's get down here.
00:52:08Well, that'll be lovely.
00:52:09I think I can find it from here.
00:52:11No, son, listen.
00:52:12I know the new estate.
00:52:14Right near where I live.
00:52:15Oh, and as I was saying,
00:52:17about these hip replacements.
00:52:19I'll be a couple of minutes.
00:52:36Don't go away.
00:52:37Not bloody likely.
00:52:38You owe me a fortune.
00:52:39You're allowed to make anybody go straight to you all.
00:52:48Don't you all?
00:52:49Well, I just have to try again.
00:52:51Get over!
00:52:57For God's sake, Mr. Smith, are you there yet?
00:53:00Bloody hell.
00:53:12Bloody hell.
00:53:23This is a message after the beep,
00:53:25and I might get back to you.
00:53:26I'm in Finsbury.
00:53:27Give me a Stockwell update.
00:53:28I'll give you an update, Johnny boy.
00:53:34Wow, what a lovely surprise.
00:53:38Oh.
00:53:41How did you get in?
00:53:44Tricks of the train.
00:53:46How did you get in, Mr. Smith?
00:53:48Well, I was just passing,
00:53:51and I just thought, you know...
00:53:52You got a key, haven't you?
00:53:54This flat's yours, isn't it?
00:54:03There is no other, Mr. Smith, is there?
00:54:09I'll get rid of him.
00:54:10You stay there, Johnny boy.
00:54:12Don't want you rushing around, banging your head again, now, do we?
00:54:20John!
00:54:21Troughton's on the way!
00:54:22On the way.
00:54:24On the way.
00:54:27Hiya.
00:54:31Look who's arrived.
00:54:33It's Mr. Gardner.
00:54:34So, the plot thickens.
00:54:40I'm ever so sorry, John.
00:54:44It's all right, mate.
00:54:48The game was up anyway.
00:54:50If there's any criminal offence involved, Mr. Smith,
00:54:53you may care to speak to a solicitor.
00:54:56Bloody hell.
00:54:59The reason I've got two flats is because...
00:55:03Well, we're a pair, aren't we?
00:55:08A pair of what?
00:55:15Ah!
00:55:17Oh!
00:55:18This dear, sweet man,
00:55:23he took the flat below Michelle and me in Stockwell,
00:55:26and...
00:55:27Well, we just knew, didn't we?
00:55:29I...
00:55:30Shh!
00:55:32Finally, we succumbed.
00:55:37And we found our little love nest.
00:55:40So, the pair of you rent this flat?
00:55:42I bloody don't.
00:55:43No, I pay.
00:55:44Gary chips in when he can.
00:55:46Michelle knows nothing, of course.
00:55:49If she was to find out that I was, you know,
00:55:52ACDC...
00:55:53ACDC?
00:55:55This doesn't need to go any further, does it, Sergeant?
00:55:59I'll see what my superintendent says.
00:56:02Are you all deaf in here?
00:56:04Sarah and I have been banging away up there for ages.
00:56:08And you've got a bloody big hole, too.
00:56:13May I ask who you are, sir?
00:56:16Who wants to know, Chuck?
00:56:17Detective Sergeant Troughton, Chuck.
00:56:21Whoop-de-boo.
00:56:22Oh, come with me.
00:56:23I need a big, strong man to hold their ceiling up.
00:56:26I can't stop the flow!
00:56:28What the hell's happened now?
00:56:30I slipped and pulled the shower out the wall.
00:56:32Go and turn it off at the beach while I sort this lot out.
00:56:35Come on.
00:56:37Come on, you two.
00:56:39What do you give, you ACDC?
00:56:41No, I'm really worried about John.
00:56:46You should have shown you how the profile.
00:56:48You really should.
00:56:49Something must have happened to him.
00:56:51Right, I'm going to ring that Sergeant Troughton from Stockwell Police.
00:56:54He gave me his number on a piece of paper.
00:56:56Where did I put it?
00:56:59Here it is.
00:57:01He said I should speak to him or one of his men.
00:57:03It's like that editor falls down there.
00:57:13He's had a bloody main seat up there.
00:57:15I took him to turn it off at the main.
00:57:17Oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:57:18Bloody wall.
00:57:19Ow, ow, ow.
00:57:20Oh, ah, oh.
00:57:30John!
00:57:31This one's in, he's full.
00:57:33He's still coming through.
00:57:37Oh, can you believe it?
00:57:39Yeah.
00:57:43You're doing a good job there, Sergeant.
00:58:01Yep.
00:58:01Oh, this is Michelle Smith speaking.
00:58:05Oh.
00:58:07Hello.
00:58:11What's that?
00:58:12I don't know.
00:58:14Someone answered the phone, but all I can hear is heavy breathing.
00:58:16Come on, I've got another bucket full out there.
00:58:32Come on, I've got another bucket full out there.
00:58:38What'd you do that for?
00:58:40Michelle.
00:58:41Well, I never mind.
00:58:43Michelle?
00:58:45Who's to get this number?
00:58:50I found the meter and turned the water off.
00:58:53What the bloody hell are you doing now?
00:58:56I found the answer.
00:58:57It's much quicker, lovey.
00:58:58Ha, ha, ha.
00:58:59Ha, ha, ha.
00:59:00Ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:59:02Ha, ha, ha.
00:59:02Ha, ha, ha.
00:59:03Ha, ha, ha.
00:59:04Oh, my God.
00:59:21Cyril's arse is stuck in your ceiling.
00:59:42One more dance and I really must go.
00:59:47Right, I'm getting back to the station
00:59:48and you're lucky I don't stick one on you for wasting police time.
00:59:56Hello?
00:59:57Is that 0207 287 6641?
01:00:01Yes. Detective Sergeant Troughton speaking.
01:00:04Oh, good, I got straight through this time.
01:00:06Bloody police.
01:00:08Is Mrs Smith speaking from 104 Stockwell Place?
01:00:13Mrs Smith from 104 Stockwell Place.
01:00:16You called on us earlier this morning.
01:00:18Oh, don't sit through it.
01:00:20Yeah, I remember.
01:00:21I thought you said your wife didn't know anything about this place.
01:00:23She doesn't.
01:00:24Shut up and sit down.
01:00:26Hello?
01:00:27Yeah, sorry, Mrs Smith, someone was interrupting.
01:00:29Trouble on the line again.
01:00:31Beg your pardon?
01:00:32Well, the last time I dialed this number,
01:00:33all I got was heavy breathing.
01:00:36Heavy breathing?
01:00:37I see.
01:00:38Maybe she's got the wrong end of the stick.
01:00:40You sit down as well, Tinkerbell.
01:00:43Haspin!
01:00:44Stepladder!
01:00:45Stepladder!
01:00:48I'm worried about Mr Smith's behaviour.
01:00:51His behaviour?
01:00:52I think she might have sussed you out.
01:00:55But, Mrs Smith, I don't quite see why it is that you're ringing this particular number.
01:01:02Because it's yours.
01:01:03Mine?
01:01:04Well, isn't this a good place to get you?
01:01:06What, me?
01:01:07Here?
01:01:07Yes, you, and the men.
01:01:10What men?
01:01:11The men you have under you.
01:01:13Eh?
01:01:14Well, don't you all operate from there?
01:01:16Now, look here, Mrs Smith.
01:01:17I am a perfectly straight police officer.
01:01:20And it's nothing to do with me that your husband and Mr Gardner are engaged in a homosexual relationship.
01:01:24We've got a life and death drama going on through there, you know.
01:01:40John and Gary?
01:01:42Yeah.
01:01:43I'm with the pair of them now.
01:01:44I'm sorry if it's come as a bit of a shock, but you were already on to them, weren't you?
01:01:48John and Gary?
01:01:49What the hell's happened?
01:01:50John's having it off with Gary.
01:01:53Having what off?
01:01:55Oh, my God.
01:01:57I'm coming, sir.
01:01:58I'm coming.
01:01:59Hang in there, you.
01:02:01But what are they both doing at the police station?
01:02:04No, no, they're here.
01:02:05At their flat in Finsbury.
01:02:06Flat in Finsbury?
01:02:08Oh, my...
01:02:08Lewin Estate, Lewin Road, Finsbury.
01:02:14Michelle!
01:02:16Hello?
01:02:19Right.
01:02:20I'm going back to the station.
01:02:21Make my report.
01:02:23Oh, and it seems to me, Mr Gardner, that Mr Smith had a perfectly happy marriage until you came mincing into his life.
01:02:33You rotten devil!
01:02:36I'll tell him, Michelle, I'm on my way home to explain.
01:02:38Explain!
01:02:42Michelle!
01:02:44Babe!
01:02:44It's probably just a matey thing!
01:02:47Tennis, snow car, ball games!
01:02:49He thinks I'm a practising homosexual.
01:03:09Well, as long as you're only practising.
01:03:11She's not answering.
01:03:12She's on her way to Finsbury.
01:03:17Homosexual!
01:03:18I have enough problems convincing some people I'm a homo sapien!
01:03:26No, I mean, are you okay?
01:03:28Oh, yeah.
01:03:29Happy as a pig and shit.
01:03:30You deal with Bobby and Sue, I'll somehow stop this show getting into the flat.
01:03:35Here you go.
01:03:35Oh, can you move?
01:03:40Oh, hello again.
01:03:42Hey, what?
01:03:43You've been in another accident, have you, sir?
01:03:45Oh, just a little bit of a problem in the bathroom.
01:03:48I've got a car.
01:03:50One moment, sir.
01:03:51Why the hell haven't you got a sat-nav?
01:03:56Hang on, I'm getting it!
01:03:58Westminster Bridge, no Lambeth, no Westminster, Trafalgar Square, the Strand, Holborn, Chuckle Wright, and then...
01:04:05I don't need a geography lesson.
01:04:08Why were you doing?
01:04:10Five years we've been married, and all the time he's been having it off with Gary Gardner.
01:04:15You're not in school!
01:04:16I don't care about that.
01:04:18When I see him, Michelle, I'm going to kill you.
01:04:22I should have asked you at the Sports Centre, but I've got rather caught up with your head-banging, sir.
01:04:28A signature there confirming you are no longer a missing person.
01:04:33Which, of course, you're not.
01:04:37Oh, and there's a signature there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, and there.

01:07:59I've been taking it for granted for years how much I love them both and how much they love me,

01:16:43I'm going to call the police.
01:16:44No, I'm going to call the police.
01:16:46She just needs some aspirins.
01:16:48Talk about ambidextrous.
01:16:50A gay flat up here and some tart in the flat down below.
01:16:53Right. I'm going to sort her around.

01:17:22No, listen.
01:17:24That lady.
01:17:26She's not a tart.
01:17:27A whore, then.
01:17:28No, she's not a whore.
01:17:30She's not a tart.
01:17:32She's a fella.
01:17:43A fella?
01:17:44Yeah.
01:17:46It's a transvestite.
01:17:47A transvestite?
01:17:49That's when a man dresses up as a lady.
01:17:51We know what a transvestite is.
01:17:54She is a man.
01:17:56Yeah.
01:17:57Now, Fred, he looks amazing when he gets all dulled up.
01:18:01Fred!
01:18:02And does Fred walk round thingsby like that?
01:18:04Oh, yeah.
01:18:06Well, he's part of your kinky set-up as well, is he?
01:18:08Well, no, actually.
01:18:11He's a friend of Gary's.
01:18:14Fred is not our friend of Gary's!
01:18:16Oh, well, let's not fight over him, Gary!
01:18:18Hey!
01:18:19Poor Michelle.
01:18:21He's had enough shots for one day.
01:18:24My little darling.
01:18:26Oh, damn well, I can't believe it of you, Johnny.
01:18:33But I'm not so surprised about you, Cyril!
01:18:39I thought you loved me, Johnny.
01:18:42Oh, I do, darling.
01:18:45So much, so much.
01:18:47Now, I've made a terrible, terrible mistake.
01:18:49Now, let me get you home, sweetie, yeah?
01:18:53Yeah, thanks.
01:18:53Yeah, Susie?
01:18:55You take Gary.
01:18:56And Gary, you'd better break it off a letter, Fred.
01:19:02Aspen!
01:19:03Where's that crazy lady with the, um, knife?
01:19:09It's all right.
01:19:10John's taking her home.
01:19:12John is?
01:19:15Poor Mrs. Smith.
01:19:17She's had a hell of a day.
01:19:19Thanks.
01:19:20Mrs. Smith?
01:19:21Well, why aren't you taking her home, then?
01:19:22Just to get about today.
01:19:25Best all round, eh?
01:19:27You know what I mean?
01:19:28Nudge, nudge, wink, wink.
01:19:30Come on.
01:19:31The face is great, but the boobs.
01:19:33Wow.
01:19:36See ya.
01:19:37Wait a minute.
01:19:38Mr. Smith?
01:19:40Is that crazy lady with my husband, your wife?
01:19:42Yes.
01:19:45Well, why aren't you taking her home, then?
01:19:49I'm in no fit state.
01:19:50I've had a hell of a day.
01:19:52My...
01:19:53He's a transvestite.
01:19:56Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that.
01:19:58Must have been a hell of a shock.
01:20:00Hell of a shock.
01:20:02And what about that other lady?
01:20:03That's my wife's partner, Bert.
01:20:13John?
01:20:14After you've taken Mrs. Smith home, make sure you come straight back here, OK?
01:20:19Those days are over, Fred!
01:20:23Fred!
01:20:26Five years I've had to put up with him.
01:20:29Um, her.
01:20:31Um, him.
01:20:33What's all this paper?
01:20:42It's a messy cab.
01:20:51No, I'm afraid it's not all sorted, Mrs. Smith.
01:20:54Detective Sergeant Troughton wants to see you down here at the station at 9pm tonight.
01:21:00No, Mr. Smith, sometime next week will not do.
01:21:04Mr. Smith!
01:21:06Your bedtime.
01:21:08We'll have to wait.
01:21:09Have you seen this report of mine, eh?
01:21:19My super will shove it right up my jacksie.
01:21:22When questioned, Mrs. Michelle Smith said the female reported to be present at the premises in Finsbury was a male transvestite called Fred.
01:21:30Mr. Gardner, Mr. Gardner could find no explanation as to why Stockwell police should think he was married to Michelle Smith.
01:21:37Miss Susan Browning, a friend of the family, acknowledged that she'd met Mr. Smith and Mr. Gardner at the Finsbury address, where they were residing as Bobby and Cyril.
01:21:46Mr. Smith was seen diving from Mr. Gardner's bedroom window.
01:21:50Mr. Smith was seen devouring a copy of the London Evening Echo.
01:21:54Head struck by a handbag, head struck by oak beam, head struck by a taxi bonnet, farmer's cottage in Luton Airport.
01:22:00You tell lies, don't you, Mr. Smith?
01:22:05Now, what's the bleeding game?
01:22:07You are up to something I know.
01:22:09What is it, eh?
01:22:11Drugs?
01:22:12Porno stuff?
01:22:14Illegal immigrants?
01:22:15Fake passports?
01:22:17Money laundering?
01:22:22You have two private addresses.
01:22:24Now, no more lies.
01:22:30Why?
01:22:35Okay.
01:22:38I've had a good run.
01:22:41I couldn't expect to get away with it forever.
01:22:46Mr. Gardner and I...
01:22:50We're not gay.
01:22:53There's no farming, Luton.
01:22:55There's no transvestite called Fred.
01:22:59These were all made up to cover my guilty secret.
01:23:03The reason I have two homes is because...
01:23:09I'm married to Michelle Smith,
01:23:13and I live in Stockwell,
01:23:14and at the same time,
01:23:16I'm married to Stephanie Smith,
01:23:18and I live in Finsbury.
01:23:21I live in Finsbury.
01:23:23That's it.
01:23:29I'm a bigamist.
01:23:30I live in Finsbury.
01:23:30I live in Finsbury.
01:23:30You lying bastard.
01:23:44Go on, get out.
01:23:45Well, I can go.
01:23:50Don't worry, though.
01:23:52Sooner or later,
01:23:54I'll get you.
01:24:01Night-night.
01:24:02Is that the truth, John?
01:24:12Hmm.
01:24:14It's a bit complicated.
01:24:17Hmm.
01:24:17So you only pretended to be gay to protect Gary?
01:24:24Hmm.
01:24:27Cos while he was having it off with Bobby, Cyril and Fred,
01:24:31behind their backs,
01:24:32he was carrying on with those two police sergeants.
01:24:35Hmm.
01:24:40Yeah.
01:24:40I couldn't believe that of Gary.
01:24:45Hmm.
01:24:51Johnny?
01:24:53Hmm?
01:24:54That mad lady married to the other Mr. Smith.
01:24:59Yeah.
01:25:00Well,
01:25:01why did she call me Fred?
01:25:06She's mad, I suppose.
01:25:10And did you know
01:25:12she's a transvestite?
01:25:16No,
01:25:17I didn't, actually.
01:25:20And that other lady that was with her,
01:25:22that was her partner, Bert.
01:25:27And poor Mr. Smith.
01:25:30He only just found out today.
01:25:32Hey.
01:25:40Johnny?
01:25:42I need to tell you something.
01:25:45John?
01:25:46There's something you ought to know.
01:25:50I think I'm pregnant.
01:25:51Mm-hmm.
01:25:58Mm-hmm.
01:26:00Yeah.
01:26:04Mm-hmm.
01:26:05Yeah, yeah.
01:26:08Wake up.
01:26:09Life is complicated
01:26:11When you have a love,
01:26:13time's too.
01:26:15Mm-hmm.
01:26:15Who knew you'd become a hero

01:29:13I don't do this with anyone, Gary.
01:29:18Of course not.
01:29:20But I've never actually done it with a guy that sleeps with guys, girls and transvestites.
01:29:26Versatile, Susie.
01:29:28That's me.
01:29:34Oh!
01:29:35Sorry.
01:29:38Gary!
01:29:41Gary!
01:29:43Gary!
