01:29enthusiastically. I twinged it. Old man. Oi. My old man. For your information the
01:43book's about a woman who finds herself living a life that everybody says she
01:48should want. Instead she... It's a comedy.
02:18I had a few in my head. Yeah. But that's still impressive. Yeah. No, I was
02:32still on Pac-Man. Yeah, I was.
02:48Why? What channel is it? You found it every week for the last billion years. I'm sure
02:56you can find it again. Don't be a bitter loser. All right. Give me the remote. It's a new
03:02girl. Moved into number 12. Well, woman. God, it's ages since anybody's moved into this
03:09street. She's got a little one. I didn't notice her husband, but he could have been one of
03:15the lads shifting stuff. God, we ought to go over and introduce ourselves. Introduce
03:24them to the neighbourhood. Yeah. Oh, because it could be our first place. It's comforting
03:31knowing that your neighbours are, you know, that they're cronies and that they're not
03:36going to have mad parties all in the middle of the night. Or that they've got a weird dog.
03:41Found it. Missed the garbage. Right. What are you going to buy? Well, I don't know. Whatever
03:48I said last week. Last week you said whatever I said last week. Well, maybe 10,000 weeks ago.
03:53I said something very wise. Doesn't sound like you. Well, I'll be trading you in for Carol
04:00Vorden then, obviously. Yeah. Well, maybe I'll just off you and take the money. Probably owe
04:08half of it to the tax man anyway. Maybe I'll just leave you. Take all the cash and see
04:16how long it takes me to get out of this town. You wouldn't be able to chase me. You wouldn't
04:24be invited. You probably wouldn't even notice I was gone. Oh, typical. Focus on making your
04:38tea. I didn't make myself one. Yeah, we'll definitely go over tomorrow. I know they'll be settling
04:45in and everything. But, you know, it's so bad. Somebody moving in instead of people
04:50moving out. I won't make a cake. Oh, God. It's years. Here comes the bonus ball. And it's
04:57number 25. Oh, okay, you. Just because you're champion. For goodness sake, bloody shut up,

28:46Of course.
28:52I know we did, but it's a little bit so have you?
29:01What?
29:02Blame me all this time.
29:06Is that what this is?
29:08No, not at all.
29:14Because you barely looked at me.
29:19I could hardly look at anything.
29:24I could hardly lift my head up.
29:27I couldn't acknowledge another day in the house with a room that was locked.
29:37No.
29:38I thought you blamed me.
29:46You blamed me.
29:51How?
29:54Because I wasn't here.
29:59The one night I, the one time I, anyway, that's how it felt.
30:09Well, I didn't.
30:10Well, that's how it felt.
30:12And how would I know the difference?
30:14Because we never spoke about it.
30:18What was it that was speaking about it now?
30:22Oh.
30:23Good job we didn't rush the conversation.
30:28It's only taken 50 years.
30:31And the win on the sodding lottery.
30:34Oh.
30:35Oh.
30:36And she was so, she was so, I was happy because she was sleeping.
30:50I was so happy she was sleeping.
30:52I thought, finally, she's over it.
30:53All those nights, no silence, no sleep.
31:03Finally done.
31:04Bags under our eyes, finally gone.
31:07And, uh, I even came in here to see her and, uh, I thought my angel sleeping so sound, finally.
31:34And if she did, she was so peaceful.
31:37And I thought, I can't wait to tell Edith that she slept the whole night through.
31:45I thought she was going to be proper proud of me getting our, our girl to sleep the whole
31:54night through.
31:57And then somewhere in the night, it was just too quiet.
32:04I'm sorry I locked the room.
32:10I am.
32:11I just thought, uh, I thought it, I thought we decided that it was best.
32:17I don't think I've decided one thing in the whole of my life.
32:24What are you talking about?
32:26Oh.
32:27Come on.
32:30If I'd have made any decisions, this, or if you and I had made choices, this room wouldn't
32:38exist.
32:39It, it, it would have been a, it would have been a library or a sewing room or a guest room
32:50or, and we'd have tried again.
32:57We'd have made that choice to try again.
33:01Move forward.
33:03We could have adopted.
33:04We could have had IVF.
33:07IVF?
33:08That was barely about.
33:10Oh, not immediately, but what I'm saying is down the line.
33:15We could have, we could have left.
33:20I could have worked.
33:22You could have found things, hobbies.
33:25Well, if, if you had, if I had, would that make you want to be here more?
33:34Oh, Christy, don't listen to me.
33:41I'm saying, do not tell me that I made a decision to do this.
33:52I have stood still for 50 years while the world turned and grew and forgot about me.
34:01And you, you don't end up in a house with a room like this by...
34:15You don't end up like this by making bad decisions.
34:21You end up this way by making none.
34:31You'll be leaving her behind too.
34:34She isn't here.
34:37Erin hasn't been here for 50 years.
34:43If I leave and you stay, it will be just you.
34:54She is not here.
34:58It will be just you.
35:02No!
35:22Isn't this what you want?
35:24It is what you want.
35:26No!
35:27I can't see!
35:28Arthur, Arthur, I need you!

38:42Kayleigh.
38:43Stole your tumbler.
38:44Wanted to give it back.
38:45Oh.
38:46Are you alright?
38:47Oh.
38:48Sorry.
38:49Yes.
38:50Yes.
38:51Um.
38:52It's just been a bit of an odd evening.
38:53Well, I will leave you to your odd evening.
38:54Jade.
38:55Yeah.
38:56Can I ask you a question?
38:57Um.
38:58What's next for you?
38:59Next for you in your life?
39:00Are you excited about what's next?
39:01Oh.
39:02Sorry.
39:03Yes.
39:04Yes.
39:05Um.
39:06It's just been a bit of an odd evening.
39:08Well, I will leave you to your odd evening.
39:11Jade.
39:12Yeah.
39:13Can I ask you a question?
39:16Yeah, of course.
39:18Um.
39:19What's next for you?
39:23Next for you in your life?
39:26Are you excited about what's next?
39:29I mean, Kaye started a new school.
39:33So that means a new friend.
39:35Soon enough I will be desperately boring.
39:39And I don't think I mind.
39:42I'm excited to get myself back.
39:46I'm not naive enough to think that there are not other people my age who are living different,
39:52more visibly fun lives.
39:54But don't get me wrong, you know, I didn't imagine that I would be back where I was born
39:58with a daughter and...
40:00But it's never boring.
40:03So where is little one now?
40:06Oh, God knows.
40:07Climbing up a lamppost.
40:08A child.
40:09Feral.
40:10But at least I got that right.
40:12Like, every time she runs, she runs as fast as she can.
40:18I don't think I did that when I was a kid.
40:21That was for boys.
40:22We were...
40:23Skip, like all delicate, but...
40:26But she runs.
40:28Like...
40:29She Usain Bolt runs.
40:32I'm just trying to follow her lead.
40:38What's next for you?
40:42Oh, um...
40:45I don't think anybody's ever asked me that since.
40:53Anyway, thank you so much for this.
40:56Yes.
40:57Feel good?
40:58Anytime.
40:59Okay.
41:00I'm so sorry.
41:01I'm so sorry, Edith.
41:02I did it because I love you.
41:03And if the choice is you and struggle or wealth, I'm so sorry, Edith.
41:21I did it because I love you.
41:22And if the choice is you and struggle or wealth, I'm sorry you wanted me to do something.
41:31And there's no other way.
41:32There's no other...
41:33Oh.
