00:10I'm out to lunch.
00:37Yeah, I've been saying that for years.
00:38I'm up west, the dogs. Anything you like?
00:40Anything?
00:41Yes, anything. You don't know what time I'll be back.
00:43Could be 12h past. Any time. Got it?
00:45Got it.
00:46Calculator's gone dry.
00:49What's 308.42 and 568.37?
00:52Eh?
00:53308.42 and 568.37.
00:55I don't know, Dennis. It's a lot. I mean, it's over 800.
00:59Well, I've got no idea. It could be any time.
01:02Yeah, well, who's what I say called?
01:05Oh, hello. Sorry, I didn't recognise your voice.
01:08What, about nine this morning?
01:11Well, I'll tell him. As soon as he gets back.
01:15And you don't put chilli powder in shepherd's pie?
01:18Yeah, anybody knows that, eh?
01:19Then what do you do it for, idiot?
01:21Leftovers. You said we've got to make them stretch a bit further,
01:23so I'll put in a bit of Saturday's chilli, eh?
01:25Yeah, good thinking, yeah.
01:26Now, I mean, it was only in a couple of portions, wasn't it?
01:28Yeah, well, next time, bang an handful of mixed herbs, all right?
01:30Tame it down a bit.
01:31It was hot chilli, wasn't it?
01:33And he took the roof off the place.
01:34Yeah, great session. I don't think I've ever served so many pints.
01:37Wixing, who was it? Will?
01:40Well, she's going to come back.
01:42And who's she when she's at home? The cat's mother.
01:44What a girlfriend, Jan!
01:45Yeah, that's what I thought.
01:46Well, you tried some sort of barney or what?
01:48Yeah, well, I'm out. I'll see you when I see you.
01:50Yeah.
01:52If one of those legs goes, I'm docking it for your wages.
01:55Sorry.
01:57Where's he off to in such a hurry?
01:59I think he's keeping a low profile.
02:00What, somebody grassed him up?
02:01Yeah, it weren't me.
02:02No, you've been a bit busy keeping a low profile yourself, haven't you?
02:05Did I tell you that Angie and Sharon are moving or something?
02:07That'd make things a bit easier, wouldn't it?
02:09Yeah, it'd be easier to sneak in the Bank of England with that bed and breakfast place over there.
02:12Yeah, not half so much fun, no, eh?
02:13You wanna bet?
02:14Well, I thought things were...
02:15Well, they are lofty, but you know me, I like to take things easy.
02:18It's all been a bit hectic lately.
02:20I'm only human, aren't I?
02:21Yeah, it's great, though, isn't it?
02:29Come on, Pete.
02:30Well, home is where the heart is.
02:32Something like that.
02:33It's great to be back, ain't it, eh?
02:35Yeah.
02:36I tell you, I feel ten years younger already.
02:38That'll soon change once you start commuting.
02:40I told you, I'll get a minicab.
02:41Then what's the point in working?
02:42I need to work.
02:43Mum, you're gonna be spending more than you earn.
02:45Well, your dad can cough up then, can't he?
02:47Well, anyway, I need that hotel.
02:49This ain't gonna be much better.
02:51It's what's inside that counts.
02:53She's probably as loud as the wallpaper, so keep your sunglasses, Andy.
02:56But at least it'll be clean.
02:58Here you go, mate. Keep the change.
03:00Thanks a lot, Mum.
03:01Right, babes. Here we go.
03:04I tell you what.
03:05We'll suss out the rooms, unpack them.
03:07We'll pop round to packs with a bunch of flares, eh?
03:09Why don't you go on your own, Mum?
03:10You'll catch up a lot better without me hanging around.
03:12I see. Things of your own to catch up on, have you?
03:14Ha, ha, ha, ha.
03:18Good start. The doorbell don't even work.
03:20It'll be fine.
03:22Up there.
03:24Downright rude, if you ask me.
03:26You don't know all the facts, do you?
03:28Neither do you, knowing you.
03:30Keep your voice down, Ilya.
03:32If people would only face each other head on and speak their minds,
03:37there wouldn't be half as many problems.
03:39Head on? He's lucky I'm in the same room with him.
03:41Oh, you only put 40p in, they'll still be sopping.
03:44They are, but I'm in a bit of a rush.
03:46Well, why didn't you get Doc to do a service?
03:48Oh, she's busy. Well, that's at least what she told me.
03:50I've got ten to do already, she said.
03:52Well, look, leave it to me. I'll finish it off and drop around at your place.
03:55Oh, that's all right, Sharon. They'll dry off in the flat anyway.
03:58You, er, you're not working today?
04:00No, I took the day off. Me and Mum have been moving.
04:02Oh, and you got landed with washing the smalls, eh?
04:04Something like that.
04:05Right, I'll see you later.
04:07See you.
04:08You'll be all right on your own, won't you, Ethel, love?
04:10Because I've got them towels to do for that hairdresser.
04:13I didn't see anyone bring any towels in.
04:15And then there are them two bags from that nice young man in the betting shop.
04:18Not that I'll be gambling.
04:20Goodbye, Doc.
04:21And I'm from that woman in India.
04:24Bye-bye, dear.
04:30It was that one, wasn't it?
04:32That one what?
04:33It was that one that that young man, and I used the word loosely, you understand?
04:37It was that one that he was using, wasn't it?
04:39Oh, that one.
04:40Oh.
04:41Why?
04:42Well, let's just say, you can never be too careful.
04:45Watch out.
04:46He's almost getting up to you.
04:48That thing's getting worse than your Mum.
04:49It wants everything cleaned, even the mirrors.
04:51Mm.
04:52How'd the move go?
04:53By the end of the week, there could be two of us with a problem.
04:55All that bad, eh?
04:56So, this meeting on the side, it's driving me mad.
04:58That's good fun, though, isn't it?
04:59I've only got a couple of minutes.
05:01How's Dad?
05:02Oh, he's gone off somewhere, left me and lofty to it.
05:03Great, I'll come in dinner time, shall I?
05:04Yeah, well, do yourself a favour and eat first, all right?
05:07Oh, you're going a bit over the top, isn't you?
05:09It's a necessary precaution, Wixie.
05:12These are dangerous times.
05:14You mark my words.
05:16A little care now will save a lot of heartache later on.
05:20What's she going on about?
05:21Look, she's like, seen us together a couple of times and bingo, we're getting on together.
05:25That's a huge chance to be a fine thing, wouldn't it?
05:27No, there's plenty of time, Shall.
05:29Which is why I've been thinking.
05:30I've already told you, right?
05:31I can wait.
05:32It's not the beer on end, though, is it?
05:33Well, I can't.
05:34Look, Shallon lofty.
05:35Oh, lofty.
05:36I'd better get back to work.
05:37Look at the world of them, right?
05:38See if we can borrow a room.
05:39It'd be a waste of time, Sharon.
05:40Not with Shallon around, it won't.
05:41You're forgetting another thing, right?
05:42My mum.
05:43I don't fancy her catching us around upstairs, you know.
05:45Too busy doing a run entertaining, isn't she?
05:47Do you mind?
05:48That's my mum you're talking about.
05:49You're not asking him, Si.
05:50We'll see.
05:51I've got to go.
05:52Shall we talk him round, you know?
05:53Maybe.
05:54I can't wait, can you?
05:55You heard what Dot said?
05:56A little care now save a lot of heartache later on.
05:58Oh, so that's it, is it?
05:59Come on.
06:01Sharon?
06:02You've forgotten something?
06:04Yeah.
06:05I had fun enough.
06:06Well, where is he?
06:07In the spinner?
06:08No, I didn't have any.
06:11It doesn't have a public library in here.
06:13People only come in so they can save a few bob on the gas.
06:16Is that why I'm always sitting in here instead of at home?
06:22Mr. Wilmot Brown's got one dish out of them.
06:25Used his influence and got this special manure, didn't he, Mr. Wilmot Brown?
06:28I'm very grateful to you.
06:29Thanks very much.
06:30I'd quite forgotten how much I enjoyed pottering about.
06:32He's planted loads of seeds.
06:40I don't...
06:41I was only here yesterday.
06:43Who on earth would do a thing like that?
06:46Kids, it was.
06:47Them minicab ones.
06:49I tried to stop them, but at my age I can't run as fast as I used to.
06:53I didn't have a chance.
06:54All right, sir.
06:55It's all right, though.
06:56It's not your fault.
06:58Kids will be kids.
06:59It's nobody's fault, really.
07:01Little blighters.
07:02I have a good mind to...
07:04Well, we'll just have to start again.
07:07And we'll make these bigger and better.
07:10Yeah, you see.
07:11You'll win first prize at the Chelsea Flower Show.
07:14Maddie, she's a vegetable flower.
07:16I know.
07:17But just you wait and see.
07:18You'll still get that blue ribbon.
07:20Well, seeing as we're here, shall we get started?
07:22The show's only six weeks away at the most.
07:24Well, Arthur, do you feel up to it?
07:26I've never felt better in me life.
07:27Right.
07:28Oh, I can't tell you how good it is to have you, O.
07:31I'll tell you something else.
07:32I'm up to the norm.
07:34I'd like to move back into our home.
07:36Is that all right?
07:38What's been going on up at the hospital, there?
07:40Put you on a new course of pills?
07:42No.
07:43Things are going to be better from now on, love.
07:45You'll see.
07:46Or can I?
07:48Dozy question.
07:52Well, come on, Arthur.
07:53Are you going to roll up your sleeves and lend a hand, or what?
07:56Yeah.
07:57Yeah.
07:58All right.
08:00How's the old fan going there, Lofty?
08:02Oh, there's a difference, isn't there?
08:03Yeah, 30 pence.
08:04Really?
08:05Yeah.
08:12Hello.
08:13Oh.
08:14Is Den back yet?
08:15No.
08:16Like I told you.
08:17Or didn't he ever leave?
08:18Yeah, he went out early this morning.
08:19Oh, his car certainly isn't around.
08:21Oh.
08:22Hello.
08:23Well, then.
08:24Seeing that you're open and I've come all this way and you aren't lying,
08:27I may as well have a drink.
08:28Well, why should I lie?
08:29Because you told me to.
08:30Gin and tonic, please.
08:32I thought a pair would be more your style this time of day.
08:35A double gin and tonic.
08:36Coming up.
08:37What time did you say he'd be back?
08:39I didn't.
08:40There's no knowing with Den, is there?
08:41No, there's no knowing anything with Den.
08:43In all the eight years I've known him, he's always kept his cards pretty close to his chest.
08:47He'd pop in and out of my life just when it suited him.
08:50£1.65.
08:51I had no complaints.
08:52It's convenient for both of us.
08:54Oh, yeah, for excuse me, I've got a couple of customers.
08:56No, after all, I was trespassing.
08:58Yeah, I'll be with you in a minute, Dot, all right?
08:59Yeah.
09:00But not any more.
09:01Now that it's all over between him and Angie, I'm not playing any more games.
09:04I want to see his hand.
09:06Yeah, I'll put it on the slate.
09:07And what cards he's got hidden up his sleeve.
09:09Yeah, those sleeves, eh?
09:10Yeah.
09:11I'll have the usual breffel and a tomato juice for me, please.
09:14Well, hold up.
09:15Hold on a minute.
09:16Hold your horses, Wixie.
09:17What's the matter?
09:18I want mine served in this glass.
09:21I've had me name engraved in specially.
09:23Oh, yeah.
09:24Yeah, it was that store, four down from that friend of... you know.
09:28Well, it's very flat, Dot.
09:30Yes, and when I'm finished with it, I want you to put it up there amongst the pewters.
09:34Well, what's it all in aid of?
09:35Ah.
09:36Well, if you put an S on that, you'd hit the nail right on the head.
09:40Eh?
09:41Well, you asked me what it was all in aid of, and I said, add an S.
09:47A-I-D-S.
09:51Aids?
09:52Exactly.
09:53I mean, it'd be bad enough if they kept it to themselves, but they haven't.
09:57I mean, it's spreading like wildfire, even to decent people like us.
10:01Yeah, well, I don't think you've got anything to worry about, Dot.
10:03Well, that's what they all say, but we don't know that, do we? Not for sure.
10:06I reckon you're a pretty safe bet.
10:08Yes, and I intend to keep myself that way, as I was saying to you in the laundrette.
10:12It's better to be safe than sorry.
10:14Exactly.
10:15And that's why I wonder why Dan allows him in here.
10:18Oh, have a word with him, will you, Wixie?
10:20I mean, before we know where we are, the old square will be down with it.
10:24I'll get you your drinks, Dot, all right?
10:27Blimey, it's Shirley Temple.
10:30Oh, the Tina Turner one looks even worse.
10:33You should have wore that the night of the attack, you'd have been safe as ours is.
10:37With friends like you...
10:38Who needs enemies?
10:39Oh, it's good to see you, babe.
10:42How's it going under all that lot?
10:44It's a seven o'clock shadow base getting there.
10:47How's things going at Sunny and Rees?
10:48Oh, the bar's great.
10:50I wish I could say the same for Austerly.
10:52Hmm.
10:53Moved in yet across the square?
10:54Yeah.
10:55And I've unpacked all my furs.
10:56Here.
10:57These are for you.
10:58Oh, you're a dull tone.
10:59Yeah, how about when this lot's finished, we pop over it to our local for a quick one?
11:03Or two or three, and a bit of backstabbing if you're up for it.
11:05Oh, I'd better pop back and get some wall paint on.
11:07Oh, that'll take forever.
11:09Here, two minutes at the most.
11:11You always wear a confident old tart, won't you, eh?
11:14Here.
11:15Fancy one here first.
11:16Oh, I do fancy the hair of the dog.
11:18You're wearing it.
11:21Go easy on the tonic.
11:22There ain't any, babe.
11:23Just the way I like it.
11:25Twist of lemon?
11:26Doesn't everyone?
11:28Your Highness.
11:30Cheers.
11:31Cheers.
11:33Surely the church would have more sense.
11:35Well, you'd have thought so, wouldn't you?
11:37Well, you see, I thought you only got it if you did it without a, well, you know, a certain object.
11:46What's your language?
11:47A lady's present.
11:49Well, I'm sure that's what it said in the leaflet and on the telly.
11:52And the newspapers, if you can believe a word they say.
11:55So when the Reverend hands it to you, you're going to tell him what to do with it?
11:59Well, God's blood or not.
12:01I don't mean no disrespect.
12:03You know, I don't see I've got no other choice.
12:05Well, perhaps you could take that with you.
12:10Yeah, will anyone think I've got the plague?
12:12Now you know how Colin feels.
12:13He's coming to something, and your best mates try to avoid you.
12:16I told you what they're all saying out there.
12:18Do you know old Boogie Fairweather?
12:19Think he got himself killed yesterday.
12:20Saw me coming.
12:21Run across the road.
12:22On the mist in by inches.
12:23I'll serve him right if he'd have did him.
12:25Think up, Ethel.
12:26Tell him he was going.
12:27Yeah, see what I mean?
12:28Attacking women, I ask you.
12:29Is that how that old devil Dodger thinks I get my kicks?
12:32Well, what happened to Pat certainly didn't help matters.
12:34Oh, I may hate her guts.
12:36I don't mean I go around kicking the living daylights out of her.
12:39I can't believe you, Pete.
12:40How many more times?
12:41I know a lot more about it than most.
12:43Yeah.
12:44Sorry, love.
12:45I mean, brought it all back again, didn't I?
12:47A lot more.
12:49If you haven't finished that by the time I get back, I'm going without you.
12:53Not today, thank you.
12:55I'm going to spend a chance, though.
12:56Just ignore her.
12:57You're not the only one she's got it in full, mate.
13:00Don't forget, will you, Wixie?
13:01Up there with the pewters.
13:02And not tomorrow, neither.
13:04I'm going.
13:05This time next week, you'll both be yesterday's news.
13:08She'll be picking on someone else then, I promise you.
13:10Uh, tea?
13:11Please.
13:12Now what have I done?
13:13Oh, I'm sorry, Mary.
13:14I was miles away.
13:15Can I have a tea and half an orange juice for any piece?
13:16Yeah, of course.
13:17Well, look, tea's cold.
13:18Why don't you sit down and make you a fresh pot?
13:19Sue looking after you, all right, Mary?
13:20Yeah, for a change.
13:21So how's it going?
13:22It's not.
13:23You and Sue together, I don't know.
13:24In the world of Ronies, last couple of days.
13:25Here, let me do that for you.
13:26Yeah?
13:27I said half an orange juice, Sue.
13:28Oh, I'm sorry.
13:29My fault.
13:30Yeah, you will be when I can't afford to pay for it.
13:31Have it on the head.
13:32I'm sorry.
13:33I'm sorry.
13:34I'll give you the juice around, please.
13:35Yeah, I'll give you the juice around, please.
13:36Yeah, of course.
13:37Oh, look.
13:38Tea's cold.
13:39Why don't you sit down and make you a fresh pot?
13:40Sue looking after you, all right, Mary?
13:41Yeah, for a change.
13:42So how's it going?
13:43It's not.
13:44You and Sue together, I don't know.
13:45In the world of Ronies, last couple of days.
13:47Here, let me do that for you.
13:48I'll give you an orange juice, Sue.
13:49Oh, I'm sorry.
13:50My fault.
13:51Yeah, you will be when I can't afford to pay for it.
13:53Have it on the house, all right?
13:54I'll take these out.
13:55All right.
13:56As far as I'm concerned, she can stay like that as long as she likes.
13:59Hey, Ann, clear the shelf, will you, Sue?
14:01Looks like a bomb's hit this place.
14:03Are you skinned?
14:05Yeah, it's good as.
14:07This came this morning.
14:09It could be anything.
14:10I mean, you haven't opened it yet.
14:11Oh, I'm psychic, didn't you know?
14:13I'm two weeks behind.
14:14What, the court?
14:15Yeah, it's a reminder.
14:17Oh, Mary.
14:18What are you going to do?
14:19I don't know.
14:20You tell me.
14:21I caught my bad time, I'm afraid.
14:22I'd like to help, but I just...
14:23I didn't mean it like that, Ali.
14:25Here, I'll tell you what.
14:26Have it on the house, eh?
14:27Is that right, Sue?
14:28Good on.
14:29I said Mary could...
14:31Oh, never mind.
14:33I just wish you'd put up more of a fight, really.
14:36Still, like that solicitor bloke says, you ain't got a leg to stand on.
14:39I still say this, I mean, not quite right.
14:42Yeah, but even if the judge is as bad as a tax inspector and he cuts my claims by half,
14:48I'm still going to come out of it with a fair old whack, aren't I?
14:51Good for you, screwing for every penny you can, including the other assets.
14:55Well, you're taking stock of everything, ain't she?
14:57Yep, the works.
14:58And if he is a bit meek and mild at the moment, it's on account of Sharon, visiting rights
15:02or something.
15:03At our age, no, it doesn't come into it.
15:05She can see him whenever she likes.
15:07Oh.
15:08I don't think she will, somehow.
15:10Here, what are you going to tell him you've moved back?
15:14Nah, if you get your finger out.
15:16Oh, me washing, I haven't put it in the dryer yet.
15:19Oh, well, it don't matter.
15:20They're probably calling last orders anyway.
15:22I tell you what, we're popping tonight, eh?
15:24Well, let's have another.
15:25Look, you know what I'm like when I'm half-tanked.
15:27Oh, well, all right, all right.
15:29You've twisted my mind.
15:33Attackers, homosexuals, why knows?
15:35Don't know what the square's coming to.
15:38Well, just a sec.
15:39I'm still here, I see.
15:40I've been much longer there.
15:41Hit time, gentlemen, please.
15:44Oh, thanks a lot.
15:45All right.
15:46Have you seen your dad?
15:47No, I went in there.
15:48There's no one there.
15:49Grandma's taken Vicky Martin out for a walk or something.
15:51Well, that must be a good sign, really, eh?
15:53I mean, about your dad.
15:54Yeah.
15:55I'll pop back there once I drop this typing off.
15:56That's all right.
15:57I'll take that.
15:58It'll give you more time.
15:59Don't deserve it, do I?
16:00Can I have your glasses, please?
16:01Hello.
16:02Hi, Shel.
16:03Hi, Shel.
16:04You've come out a bit fine, haven't you?
16:05What's it like to be back then, eh?
16:06Like I've never been away.
16:07I didn't think you have.
16:08I was expecting you ages ago.
16:09Yeah, well, something cropped up.
16:10We'll tell you about it later.
16:11Have you?
16:12No, not yet.
16:13Do you know what I say when I came in?
16:16You're up to something, aren't you?
16:17Leave me knock a book, can't you?
16:19And does it hold me left you by any chance?
16:21Firstly, let me tell you my great decision.
16:23What's that?
16:24I'm going on the pill.
16:25Are you beginning to sound like a crack record?
16:27Oh, at last.
16:28Something you do know something about.
16:29Oh, you're getting as paranoid as she is.
16:30Look, if she carries on the way she is, it will soon be the deserted village out there.
16:33We'll have the whole square left to ourselves.
16:35Yeah, it'd be great, wouldn't it?
16:36Glasses, please.
16:37Oh, come on, let's drink up and get out.
16:39Just you and me, kid.
16:40Yeah, it'd be a great giggle.
16:41I'm going to go and see Pauline.
16:42Yeah, I've got to get back to the store.
16:44Anyone can make a six-centry can.
16:46I'll give you a hand.
16:47That's all right.
16:48No, I'd like to.
16:49It's important I see them, so I'll make myself useful.
16:51Are you going to wait?
16:52It's all right, isn't it?
16:53They won't mind, would it?
16:54No, I shouldn't think so.
16:56And when the last customer's gone, you two nip off, I'll get the glasses.
16:58Give me something to do.
16:59You sure?
17:00Yes.
17:01I'm sitting here twiddling my thumbs.
17:02Well, if you determine.
17:03Like a proverbial dog with a bit between his teeth.
17:05Great.
17:06Give me some sort of few things.
17:07It's Sharon.
17:08Yeah?
17:09Only a couple of minutes, don't rush off, will it?
17:10All right, then.
17:11Finish our chat later.
17:12Want to come for a coffee?
17:13It seems this place empty to speak with Scarpa.
17:15Don't know there's a load more glasses.
17:16No, Jan's offered.
17:17I'll tell you what.
17:18I was rather den than me, mate.
17:20I saw two bloody ollies and a Jean Vincent.
17:22How's that?
17:23Well, it's quits.
17:24Makes up the two tops ourselves.
17:25Kath, Kath, you haven't seen Pauline, have you?
17:27Oh, well, half was home.
17:28She's probably out somewhere within.
17:29Oh, well, look, if you see her, will you tell her I've been looking for her?
17:31Yeah, all right.
17:32I'll see you later.
17:33A lot sooner if I see you first.
17:35I'm glad you're happy, Cheryl.
17:37Yeah, well, I've got something that'll put a smile on your face.
17:39Where's the Christmas Club list?
17:41Oh, please, I've got it.
17:42No, no, no, the copy that you've got.
17:44Oh, that.
17:45Should be in here somewhere.
17:50Why?
17:51Well, with the money that I've been getting from typing
17:53and the money you and Mum have been putting away,
17:54I think we can pay off another two at least.
17:56Well, Dot and Ethel, I've always felt guilty and concerned about those two.
18:00Well, we can pay them off and have a few quid to spare.
18:02Hey, you know, your Prince Charming hasn't done too badly for himself either.
18:09So, how long have we got, eh?
18:11To talk?
18:12Where's Ali?
18:13Oh, he's out on a call.
18:14All the other drivers were busy.
18:15Great.
18:16Because I want to go through this list.
18:18Make sure I haven't missed anything.
18:19Could we do it later?
18:21Did you mind?
18:22Lenny, leave us tomorrow.
18:24Yeah, I'll be with you in a moment.
18:26Oh, come on, Sue.
18:27It'll only take us a couple of minutes.
18:29All right, then.
18:30Great.
18:31Jelly, trifle, ham, cheese, tomatoes.
18:34Bread and rails, I think I'll leave them till the day.
18:36Yeah.
18:37Cola, orange, a bottle of scotch for the birthday boy.
18:40Serviettes, balloons.
18:41Oh, yeah, and them funny squeaker things, you know, that you blow.
18:44I haven't forgotten anything.
18:46No.
18:47Oh, yeah, and I've ordered the cake.
18:48Oh, it's great.
18:49It's gooey, blue and white, with happy birthday Ali written right across it in red.
18:54Heh.
18:55I can't wait to see his face, can you?
18:56Yeah.
18:57Two teas.
18:58Oh, I'm sorry.
18:59Just two teas, was it?
19:00Yes.
19:01OK.
19:02Now, can you think of anybody else that we should have invited?
19:05Um, well, I suppose we should invite Annie, really.
19:08She doesn't have much of a life.
19:10Judging by the look on your face, we don't either.
19:12No.
19:13No, I don't think I do.
19:14Wait.
19:15Oh, come on Sue.
19:16We'll get a kid of your own one of these days.
19:18It's not that.
19:19What is it then?
19:21There's something wrong, isn't it?
19:23I'm scared.
19:25What off?
19:27Oh, come on Sue, out with it.
19:29Look, about a week ago I examined myself, you know?
19:33Like a proper examination.
19:35And I...
19:36I found a lump.
19:38What did the doctor say?
19:41I haven't had the courage to go yet.
19:43Yeah.
19:44All right, go on.
19:45Go and get your coat on.
19:46Go on.
19:47I can't leave the cap.
19:48Yes, you can be.
19:49I'll go into the doctor's.
19:50What about Annie?
19:51Now, you can leave them a message.
19:52Look, I'm very sorry about this.
19:53Excuse me.
19:54I'm so sorry.
19:55The cap is actually closed at the moment.
19:56There's a record.
19:57What am I going to say?
19:59Where am I going to tell him I've gone?
20:01What?
20:02He doesn't know.
20:04All right.
20:06Back in an hour.
20:08Right?
20:09And when he asked, you can tell him I called, right?
20:11Bye-bye.
20:12I'm sorry about that.
20:13Bye.
20:14It was an emergency, right?
20:16One of the kids swallowed a 50 pence piece and I needed moral support at the hospital.
20:20Okay.
20:21It will be all right, won't it?
20:23Of course it will.
20:24I've never been so frightened in my life.
20:26Oh, Pauline.
20:27Hello, Colin.
20:28There's a person I want to see.
20:29Yeah, Cass said you were looking for.
20:30Yeah, listen, I...
20:31Oh, careful.
20:32Yeah, it's just that I want to ask her face.
20:33Oh, Doc Cotton?
20:34Yeah, it's his aide business, Pauline.
20:35She's got it all wrong.
20:36What, you want me to put her straight?
20:37Yeah, I mean, I've tried, believe me, but every time I go near, she runs a mile.
20:38Yeah, but why me?
20:39I'm no authority.
20:40I only know what comes through the post.
20:41Well, have you still got that leaflet?
20:42Oh, it's somewhere.
20:43Well, look, all I ask is that you sit her down and get her to read it properly.
20:44Yeah.
20:45All right, then I'll do my best.
20:46I'll see you.
20:47Yeah.
20:48Bye.
20:49Any bleeding or discharge?
20:50No.
20:51From either?
20:52No.
20:53Yes, there's certainly something there.
20:54Okay, fine.
20:55If you put your clothes back on.
20:56When did you say you were first aware of it?
20:57About a week ago.
20:58Oh, good.
20:59Sorry?
21:00Well, it's good that you came to see me straight away.
21:01I'll try and arrange an appointment for a week.
21:02I'll try and arrange an appointment for a week.
21:03I'll try and arrange an appointment for a week.
21:04I'll try and arrange an appointment for a week.
21:05All I ask is that you sit her down and get her to read it properly.
21:06Yeah.
21:07All right, then I'll do my best.
21:08I'll see you.
21:09Yeah.
21:10Bye.
21:11Bye.
21:12Any bleeding or discharge?
21:13No.
21:14From either?
21:15No.
21:16Yes, there's certainly something there.
21:17Okay, fine.
21:18If you put your clothes back on.
21:19Sorry?
21:20Well, it's good that you came to see me straight away.
21:22I'll try and arrange an appointment with the breast clinic as soon as possible.
21:26When?
21:27Well, I'll try and get through now.
21:29It'll be a Wednesday or a Thursday.
21:31Well, any day's fine, except this Friday.
21:34I am going to be all right, aren't I?
21:36Well, as I mentioned, I'm glad you came to see me straight away.
21:39Aren't I?
21:40In most cases, it's nothing more than a cyst.
21:43And that's what you reckon this is?
21:45Well, in nine cases out of ten, that's what it is.
21:48When will we know?
21:49Well, if there's fluid there, the consultant will be able to tell you straight away.
21:54That's what a cyst is.
21:55A collection of fluid.
21:57Well, what if there isn't?
21:59Well, apart from the x-ray, he'll want to have a look at a few cells under a microscope.
22:03You mustn't worry about it.
22:04I'm sure everything will be fine.
22:06Thanks.
22:07What?
22:08Any other ones?
22:09No staff today?
22:10Better be soon.
22:11I haven't got no change.
22:12You ought to get yourself organised like me.
22:13Well, it's not easy when you've got a kid.
22:14Save 50 peas in a jar.
22:15Tom!
22:16Seeing as though you haven't got much stuff, and to save me hanging about, how about if I shove
22:17any stuff in with yours?
22:18And I suppose you want me to dry it as well?
22:19No.
22:20Sorry, I asked.
22:21But I will let you have two 50 peas.
22:22And I suppose you want me to dry it as well?
22:23No.
22:24Sorry I asked.
22:25But I will let you have two 50 peas.
22:27Oh, that's all I need.
22:28I've left me purse at home.
22:29Oh, no.
22:30I'm going to have two 50 peas.
22:39Oh, that's all I need.
22:42I've left me purse at home.
22:55I've left me purse at home.
23:01They were married for 19 years.
23:03They still are at the moment.
23:04Six weeks to go.
23:07Anyway, I feel sorry for Angie.
23:09It's the gin that does it.
23:10Not to this lady.
23:11Well, I shouldn't worry about Angie. She'll survive.
23:13What, shall I find another man, you mean?
23:14I don't know. It's not the same.
23:16Certainly hasn't been a shortage over the years, has there?
23:18Yeah, well, I wouldn't know.
23:19I often used to wonder if that was my fault.
23:21But, of course, it wasn't.
23:22Behind the bar, they were a great team.
23:24It was backstage. It was a problem.
23:26Do you want to have a tonic in there?
23:27Yeah. Am I being indiscreet?
23:29I'm sorry.
23:30But you're the only sympathetic ear around.
23:32It's all part of the job.
23:33And I do need to talk to someone.
23:35Yeah, well, don't expect me to take sides, because I won't.
23:37That's the first rule.
23:40Hey, do you mind if I sit with you while I wait for a friend?
23:45The name's Michael.
23:47Mary.
23:48Not drinking.
23:49Not very much. I'll have gin and tonic, please.
23:54At the bar, or do you want to sit down?
23:55I'm going to sit.
23:56People are going to start talking about me.
23:57I want to see them do it.
23:58Surprise, surprise.
23:59Guess who?
24:00Hello, Anne.
24:02Hello, Pete.
24:03Still no ball and chain, I'll see.
24:05Thanks to you.
24:06I never pointed the finger.
24:07You brought it all on yourself.
24:14Hello, Annie.
24:15You and Pauline going into competition, Tom?
24:18What was that?
24:19Well, how many other jobs are you holding down?
24:21I don't know what you're talking about.
24:24How long have you been babysitting for Mary?
24:27Oh, nothing to do with me.
24:29She left here over half an hour ago to go and find her purse.
24:32I ain't seen her since.
24:34Sir Lofty ain't had asthma attack after all, then.
24:38I'm surprised Simon didn't say anything.
24:40Hmm.
24:41I wonder where Action Man is.
24:43Oh, he's probably still out of the back trying to block them lousy gold chains of his.
24:48Well, no time like the present.
24:50You game?
24:51I wouldn't miss this for the world.
24:53Then walk this way.
24:54Come on, boy.
24:57Sorry, do you think there's going to be trouble?
24:58Yeah, well, if there is, mate, you can sort it.
25:00Well, you're the one with the army training, aren't you?
25:04Cleantele ain't up to much, is it, girl?
25:06Well, cleantele there is.
25:08Barflies ain't what they were, either.
25:10Need a complete overall, like the rest of the done.
25:13Angie?
25:14Pat?
25:15Oh, hello, darling.
25:16I didn't see you sitting there.
25:17If you're looking for Denny's oak the evening.
25:19What, alone?
25:20Not with that little bit of crumpet he picked up the other evening?
25:23I don't know where he finds them.
25:25Yeah, she wasn't up to much, was she?
25:26No.
25:27I bet he was.
25:28What's going to happen if Den comes back?
25:30Well, I hope he does.
25:31I'm only joking, love.
25:33You, er, moved your things in yet, darling,
25:36or are you waiting for the absolution?
25:38Absolute.
25:39Pardon me for breathing.
25:40You won't be forgiven, you know.
25:41Not by me at any rate.
25:42I live just across the square.
25:43Why?
25:44Live alone?
25:45I don't just make cups of coffee for anyone, you know.
25:47Choosy, are we?
25:49Oh, yeah.
25:50You have to be able to pay for a good time.
25:53I knew you'd be in here.
25:57Guess what you were up to.
25:58Where I am and who I'm talking to is none of your dumb business.
26:01You start neglecting your baby.
26:03I'm not neglecting her.
26:04Abandoning her.
26:05It's everyone's business.
26:06Er, I left her in the laundrette.
26:07Yes, where anything could have happened.
26:09She could have got out onto the street like she did before
26:11and got herself knocked down.
26:13She could have been attacked by that maniac.
26:15Who's to say he's not into little girls as well?
26:17I think I'd better be going.
26:19Well, if it was cash in advance, I would get your money back first.
26:22No.
26:23I'm sorry.
26:24I didn't know about it.
26:25Yeah.
26:27I love you for this.
26:28Well, I wouldn't leave it too long if I were you,
26:30because first thing in the morning I'm going to report you to the authorities.
26:34Well, you've certainly cleaned the place up a treat.
26:41The crock in the riffraff we used to get in here.
26:43Have you feel all right?
26:44I'm just going to get you a drink.
26:45What a good idea.
26:46I'll get these, Pat.
26:47Same again for me and your mum.
26:48Three bags of crisps and something special for the Duchess here.
26:50I know.
26:51One of those moat jobs behind the bar.
26:53Second right back to me.
26:54Oh, try it, darling.
26:55You'll love it.
26:56If you don't, we can always get you something else, can't we?
26:59It's called perfect love.
27:01Something me and Pat have been searching all our lives for,
27:04and you seem to have found.
27:06And here's the very man himself.
27:10Excuse me.
27:11By the way, did Dennis ever tell you this corner's reserved for his rejects?
27:14Pop back later, we'll compare notes.
27:16Oh, er, sit down, darling, one bit of a sec.
27:18No, it's not what you think.
27:20I'll explain later.
27:21She's the daughter of a mate of mine.
27:22No.
27:23Up in the Fulham Road.
27:24Simon, could you come over here, please?
27:26Car keys, please.
27:28Can we discuss this after this?
27:30Give her keys to Simon.
27:31Find out where she lives and drive her home, will you?
27:33Well, I can't leave Lotta on his own, can I?
27:35I'm sure your mother will lend a hand, or Angie.
27:37Then we'll pay them, of course.
27:39You mentioned upstairs, shall we?
27:41Good.
27:51We visit the firefighters at Blackwall Fire Station in London's Burning, next, here on Drama.
