00:00Neighbours
00:02Everybody needs good neighbours
00:06With a little understanding
00:10You can find the perfect blend
00:16Neighbours
00:18Neighbours
00:20Should be there for one another
00:24That's when good neighbours become good friends
00:42Bradley darling, do stop sniffing
00:44You wanna blow your nose properly
00:47Otherwise Granny might think you've got no manners
00:54Where is Desmond?
00:57He does have quite an important position at the bank
01:00He can't just jump up and leave
01:02He has to delegate his responsibilities
01:04This is more important than his responsibilities
01:06His whole future is at stake here
01:08We came as soon as they're good
01:10Now what's the emergency?
01:12He is
01:13She had to find out sooner or later
01:15Later would have been better
01:17I cannot believe this of you Desmond
01:19We were going to tell you all about it
01:21Des has been very sensible about it
01:23Sensible? What has sensible got to do with it?
01:27Are you absolutely sure?
01:30I think it's about time you gave me some answers Desmond
01:33What can I say?
01:34If Andrea said he's my son I believe her
01:36Believe her?
01:38After what happened in Perth?
01:40I mean you were so young
01:41Your whole relationship was so short-lived
01:44Well I'm going to want some proof before I swallow this story
01:47I'm going to want blood tests
01:50She's here!
01:51Who is?
01:52Lucy! They've just pulled up
01:53Can I go and see her?
01:54Oh no darling, not with that cold of yours
01:56I haven't got a cold
01:58Well you certainly have
01:59Well that's why you're home from school remember?
02:02I haven't got a cold
02:04Well what have you got then?
02:06Lucy was sick, so well I felt sick too
02:12And this is your child?
02:19There we are
02:20Oh hi Lucy, okay now?
02:22Yeah
02:23My throat's a bit sore when I stitched it up
02:25But the best thing has gone down
02:27Everyone at the hospital said she was a very good girl
02:30Nah
02:31It's not as bad as Kate Bailey Snakebutt
02:33She was in hospital for a whole week
02:35Here's someone else who's been waiting to see you
02:37Basil
02:38Take it easy darling, remember what the doctor said
02:41I thought Miss Davidson wanted to see me
02:43She thought we might like to be alone for a while
02:46She's a very wise and kind woman
02:50Nikki
02:52I'm going back to Charleville
02:55I realise now I don't have enough airs and graces for your liking
03:00But that's the way I am
03:02I don't want you to get up your studies
03:05Miss Davidson says you're very bright
03:07But then I've always known that
03:10Even when you were a bit of a kid
03:12Your father would have been very proud to see how well you've done
03:16With your studies
03:18I just can't carry on here now
03:20But why?
03:22Because they might all find out that your mother works as a barmaid
03:25Well they'll have forgotten all that within a week
03:28There's a lot of girls here who come from working class families
03:31Yeah well not my friends
03:33And is that all they like you for?
03:35Because of the posh background you've made up for them?
03:37You don't understand
03:39Oh you're so right I don't
03:41I don't blame you for trying to fit in by pretending
03:45But just remember one thing
03:48I was never ashamed of your father
03:51And I know he was never ashamed of me
03:54And we both loved you very much
03:57Yeah well I just want to leave now
04:00Alright alright
04:02Helen and Jim said that you can go and live with them until you complete your studies
04:06Good and you won't have to worry about slaving your guts out in that bar anymore
04:10Because from now on I'll make my own way
04:12Oh you're your father's daughter alright
04:16He was as stubborn as a mule when it suited him
04:18And I loved him for it
04:21Oh we were a good old pair
04:25Well
04:27I've told you what I think you should do
04:30Now it's up to you to decide
04:33I'll just go and say goodbye to Miss Davidson
04:37And then get home and pack
04:39Thank you
04:47Births to you?
04:48I take it there is one
04:52It's at home
04:54Marked father unknown
04:57I see
04:59Well when exactly did this incident take place?
05:03I'm sure you realise how important it is
05:05The times and the dates are accurate
05:07Ma'am this is ridiculous
05:09Des it's alright
05:10It's important that the details are brought out into the open
05:13Yes after all
05:14We don't know what else was going on
05:16Do we?
05:19Desmond
05:21Will you drive me to my unit please?
05:22I want to collect something then you can bring me back here
05:25Mum I have to get back to work
05:27After presenting me with a grandson
05:28That's the least you can do
05:30Hold on a minute
05:32What do you want at the unit?
05:34Proof
05:36We might have to do a bit more advertising
05:38Until the business gets a move on
05:40We've already booked some space in the local paper
05:42Hi Lucy!
05:44Hi Bradley!
05:46I saw you coming back from the hospital
05:47Was it a big operation?
05:49Pretty big
05:50I got some stitches here, see?
05:52Wow, fantastic!
05:54Thanks
05:55How's Eggworth?
05:56Fine
05:57And how's yours?
05:58Marilyn, not even a tiny crack yet
06:00That's good
06:01I'm so glad you're participating in the parent thing
06:04How come you're not at school today?
06:07I said I had a sore throat as well
06:08But I haven't
06:10Lucy!
06:12Are you alright now?
06:13Yes, thanks
06:15It's so good to have you home
06:17And you can tell me all about your operation later
06:19I will
06:21Helen, can I have a word with you?
06:23Certainly, excuse me
06:24Excuse me
06:25Oh sure, look, now that you're home I'll go wash the car
06:32How did it go at the school?
06:33Oh fine
06:35I had a good chat to the headmistress
06:37She's a nice woman
06:38And I spent some time with Nicky
06:41Helen, I've loved and trusted you all my life
06:45Just tell me one thing
06:47Honestly
06:48What?
06:50Are you ashamed of me?
06:53What on earth are you talking about?
06:55Well, are you?
06:56Or have you ever been?
06:58Oh Laura, I love you
07:00And I'm very proud of you
07:03To tell you the truth
07:04There was a time when I was a bit jealous of you
07:07Well, you always had such a sense of fun
07:10And you battled on out there making a go of it
07:13When most women, including me, would have packed it in
07:15And you'd laugh and joke about it
07:19There is absolutely nothing I would change about you, ever
07:23That's all that matters to me
07:26I'm going back to Charleville today
07:29Oh no
07:31Well, Nicky just doesn't like me
07:33And she can't accept me as I am
07:36And I can't and won't change
07:38Oh, it's all my fault for bringing you down here
07:41I didn't dream anything like this would happen
07:42Oh no, I'm glad it's out in the open
07:45Well, now it's out in the open
07:47You're running away, that isn't like you
07:50I can take her not liking me
07:52But if I stay
07:56I'm scared she's going to end up
07:58Hating me
08:04Oh, hello Nicky
08:06Shouldn't you be at school by now?
08:08I've just told them I won't be going back
08:10Oh, does your mother know this?
08:14Oh yes, she knows
08:16Oh
08:18She's going home today
08:20Yes, I know
08:22I thought she'd have more time to spend with you, I'm sorry
08:24Yeah, well I'm not
08:26We just don't get on and I don't want to be an obligation to her anymore
08:30I'll get a job and I'll look after myself
08:32I don't need her to slave in that bar for me
08:35Um, I was just about to have a cup of coffee
08:39I've got some apple walnut cake, the sort you like
08:42I'm not hungry, thanks
08:44But you go ahead and have yours
08:46Oh, I think I'll finish up here and clean up
08:48Would you get the cake out of the pantry for me?
08:49Sure
08:59That private school's for snobs anyway
09:02I'll be glad to leave
09:06Ta-da!
09:07Help!
09:09What do you think of this for an Easter bunny?
09:11Oh, sorry
09:13Oh, never mind Shane
09:16Lucy and Bradley will help you
09:18Oh!
09:20Nearly packed
09:22Can I call a cab?
09:23You certainly cannot
09:25I'll drive you
09:26There's no way I'm going to drag you away from your work all the way out to the airport
09:29Will you two stop for a moment, please?
09:32Shane, will you drive Laura to the airport?
09:34You can do that midday job on the way back
09:37Oh, sure, no worries
09:39You see? Simple solution to everything
09:41Well, almost everything
09:43Oh, I wish you'd stay till the weekend
09:45I'm sure we could talk some sense into Nicky
09:47It'll only make it worse
09:49When I told her I was leaving, she just stared at me
09:53It didn't mean a thing to her
09:56Well, did you find your proof?
09:59No, but I will
10:01It's a good thing my mother encouraged me to keep a diary all my life
10:05Don't tell me we're going to have to sit through 60 boring years of reminiscences
10:12Now, when exactly was Bradley born?
10:15Bradley was born on the 21st of September 1975
10:19And he was conceived on the 14th of December 1974
10:27Ah, here we are, the 14th of December
10:31Uh-huh, uh-huh
10:36Well, aren't you going to read it?
10:37Oh, come on, Mum, read it, I've got to get back to work
10:40Very well
10:42Played and won the bridge final
10:45Desmond and his first girlfriend Andrea have gone to a film
10:49I don't like this young lady, she is too sure of herself by a long chalk
10:55But true to his word, Desmond was back home by 10.30
11:01While I was waiting at the boat shed
11:02The boat shed?
11:05The boat shed?
11:06The boat shed
11:08I just came home and said goodnight
11:10And then I, um, just slipped out the bedroom
11:14It was so romantic
11:16Des was 17, I was 16
11:1816?
11:20Oh, may heaven forgive the both of you
11:22Desmond, I have raised you single-handedly
11:25Trying to erase every nasty habit and trait that you may have inherited from your father
11:29And now I find you nothing but a carbon copy of the dreadful man
11:31Mum, I was only 17, remember, I was just an innocent kid
11:35Two little virgins together
11:37Well, one of you certainly was
11:39Look, Mum
11:41Can you imagine what it feels like for any father
11:44To be confronted by the fact that he had a son that he didn't know about
11:48You said it yourself, how you had to bring me up single-handedly
11:51Well, it's been the same for Andrea for the last 10 years
11:53Yes, well, why did she wait 10 years? Why didn't you contact Desmond earlier?
11:57Well, I was ashamed
12:01Yes, and confused
12:03I knew how much you were against me going out with Des
12:07So I did what any young girl would do
12:10I told my parents and they stood by me
12:12Well, as Bradley's gotten older, it's becoming apparent that he needs his father
12:20And Des
12:22Well, Des has just been wonderful
12:27Well, I suppose if you are convinced he is your son, we must put a brave face on it and shoulder our responsibilities
12:34You don't have to do anything
12:37It's none of your business
12:39Bradley is my responsibility
12:41Mine
12:43And I'm going to make it up to him and Andrea for those lost years, okay?
12:47Great, now I've got to go back to work
12:59Are you ashamed of your mum?
13:00No, I love my mum
13:03She's my best friend
13:04Nikki's ashamed of hers
13:06Why?
13:07I don't know, she just is
13:09Nikki didn't go to school either
13:11I saw her going in next door
13:13To your place?
13:15No, to your place
13:17Ah, did she?
13:19Well, I'd better get in there and get changed if I'm taking your Aunty Laura to the airport
13:24Helen, I'll be back in about 15 minutes, okay?
13:26Alright, Shane
13:28Bye
13:30There's another piece of cake there if you'd like it
13:33No thanks, it was very nice
13:36Just fancy you having to carry that egg around all week
13:39It was meant to teach us a lot of things
13:42Oh yes, I can imagine
13:44Caring, responsibility
13:45You know, we used to have chooks right here in Ramsey Street, in the old house
13:52I can remember my mother printing my name on an egg
13:56Oh, the excitement when that little chicken was born
13:59You don't talk about your children much
14:03No
14:05You know, it's funny
14:07We do everything for our children and
14:10Somehow they seem to resent it
14:13Henry, oh, well he thought I was a real wowser
14:17Perhaps I am in some ways
14:20Maybe he got into trouble deliberately just to hurt me
14:23Actually, I'm a lot like your mother, Nicky
14:28I wanted the best for Charlene and Henry and
14:33The more I did, the worse things got between us
14:38Perhaps chooks are lucky
14:41Why?
14:42Or when the chicks are grown up, they're on their own
14:45Mothers can't do that
14:47We love our children in spite of everything
14:51And often we find out that our relationship is as fragile as that egg
14:58Oh, hi, no school today, Nicky?
15:01No
15:03I'm just going to get changed and I'm going to run your mother to the airport
15:06You've got about ten minutes to say goodbye
15:08I think I will have that other piece of cake, Mrs Mitchell
15:12Desmond?
15:22Hmm?
15:24Desmond?
15:26Nothing more to say, ma'am
15:28Yes, there is, Desmond, please give me a few minutes of your time
15:34I know that I've been over with Detective
15:37And I know that things have to change
15:38But I want you to know I admire you for standing up for that little boy and his mother
15:44I wanted you to know that before I go away
15:47You're going away?
15:49Well, yes, just a little trip
15:51You know how I've been promising myself a little trip?
15:53Well, now seems the appropriate time
15:55I'm going to visit some old friends in Perth
15:57Perth
16:02Hello?
16:03Hello, Andrew
16:04Yeah, I've got some good news for you
16:05Mum just came in to say goodbye
16:07Oh, that is good news
16:09Yeah, she's decided to go back to Perth for a holiday
16:11Oh, Perth?
16:12Yeah, she's been playing it for a while, but she's never got around to it
16:16She's going to catch up with family and friends
16:25Where's Aunty Madge?
16:27She's gone next door to say goodbye to my mother
16:29Have you said your goodbyes yet?
16:32No
16:33It must be hard being ashamed of your parents
16:41Nicky
16:44When I was training for the Olympics
16:46The old man was always yelling at me and abusing me
16:49In front of the other divers
16:51A couple of them asked me once if I was ever ashamed of him
16:54You know, I didn't know what they were talking about
16:57He was only doing the best for me that he could
17:00And I was lucky because I could see that
17:03I wouldn't change him for anybody else
17:06I love him
17:08Faults and all
17:10I told your mother you were in here
17:13I wouldn't worry, I think she got the message
17:18Yes
17:24I hope you've got a good memory, Nicky
17:26Because after the way you've treated your mother
17:29I don't think you'll ever see her again
17:30I wish you could stay longer
17:32But I understand
17:34Look after her for me
17:36We will
17:38Excuse me
17:40Don't come out, Jim
17:42I hate goodbyes
17:44I didn't mean to hurt her
17:46Don't worry, she told me she has lots of very good friends in Charleville
17:49I think she's quite happy there
17:50So was I
17:52She shouldn't have sent me away
17:54I always loved her when we were in Charleville
17:55Don't tell me, Nicky
17:56Tell her
17:58No, there's no point
17:59I don't know
18:00I don't know
18:01I don't know
18:02You're right
18:03I don't know
18:04I don't know
18:06What's the matter?
18:07Oh, don't worry
18:08She told me she has lots of very good friends in Charleville
18:09I think she's quite happy there
18:11So was I
18:12I loved her when we were in Charleville
18:14Don't tell me, Nicky
18:16Tell her
18:18No
18:19There's no point
18:35Thanks a lot, Shane
18:36I'll just pack these few things up
18:59Oh, no, no, no, I'll do them
19:00No, look, it's okay
19:03Move the egg
19:04It's all right
19:05It's only an egg
19:06You can always get another one
19:07No
19:09You don't understand
19:17Mom!
19:19Mom!
19:20I'm back
19:34Mom!
19:35I'm back
19:36Mom!
19:37I'm back
19:38Mom!
19:39I'm back
