06:46Let me guess erm
06:49or league man i played union for a few years you know i think it was will carling who first drew
06:54me to the 15 man game let me guess um fly half tight head prop ah yes yes i i see that now it's
07:05the um it's the thighs bye you my friend are an inspiration to a household household this
07:16letter writing to prisoners a selfless act that i can only imagine brings untold joy to its
07:21recipients well not entirely selfless i find the process therapeutic when i was uh in prison
07:29the occasional letter came as a much needed metaphorical escape from four walls briny
07:36pritchard excuse me she sat next to me at primary school oh she was lovely mousy hair bright blue
07:43eyes rosy cheeks i think i can safely say she was the first person to set my heart aflutter not sure
07:49why you're telling me this her parents emigrated to australia they took briny with them of course
07:56still not sure we became pen pals ah oh yeah despite being on opposite sides of the planet we
08:02managed to write to each other at least once a month we exchanged letters for i don't know maybe
08:0720 years that's so romantic indeed i dared to dream that we might meet again one day but um
08:14our correspondence eventually faded and died oh dear yeah sad story but those letters so emotional so
08:23full of longing but uh you won't have to worry about that writing to those
08:29roughty tufty criminals well i'm also corresponding with one of the prisoners mothers oh how interesting
08:36this is nonsense the old thing i know i've tried to tell her i don't need this especially today i've
08:41got stuff to do i understand that but i'm afraid fraud is a serious matter and we have to follow
08:46procedure seriously guys inside oh it's coffee break seriously inside oh all right scoffe bought

11:39why you know right go on then

11:56this morning i've made breakfast got flowers i'd arrange a lovely day out for us together okay to
12:02spend together with spa and shopping and favorite restaurant and then in walks the not so dead ex and

19:45i like banter as much as you but not today well that's you told
19:53oh dear swain i thought you'd be relaxing in a spa somewhere
19:58yeah i should be look we all know carla hasn't been involved in any wrongdoing and i don't believe
20:03you have enough evidence to want holding her so she's been released right so where is she
20:11no we thought she was with you she was pretty mad when she left threatening to sort out your ex
20:16which would be a shame as a complaint came from an ex-client of underworld eli merton
20:22apparently accused one of her workers of sexual harassment
20:25carla retaliated by spreading rumors about him and this is his way of getting back at her
20:31and does she know this i'm afraid not
20:37don't stir it i don't think that pair need my help i just don't want to miss it if they kick off
20:45his name was morgan jack russell half-blind 13 years old limping on three paws and still
20:50attacked every dog you saw dog on dog reactivity some dogs are just busted for a fight most often
20:56they're not being properly socialized you know what you could be really good at this you know
21:01i know we've had a rough time lately but let's not forget how exciting it was before
21:06i should stop beating myself but problem is i'm dead good at it you deserve to be happy
21:12we both do i know what i said yesterday but i will never give up on alfie
21:20oh that's a shame you'd be so much better off without you what did you just say nothing
21:28why are you even listening to our conversation get a light wind your neck in tracy look i just think
21:35that your boyfriend is getting bored of you banging on about what a tragic life you've got when the
21:41truth is you brought it all on yourself don't let her wind you up no i'm fine you've got to feel
21:46sorry for kevin he is a really good dad quite frankly he's the best parent that lad's got hey
21:53since she's shacked up with a brother poor lad don't stand a chance
21:56help here
22:09You bitch!
22:26Pipe down, Tracy.
22:27Are you just going to stand there catching flies?
22:30No, she was winding me up.
22:32What are you telling me?
22:33Not my monkey, not my circus.
22:35Abbey, out.
22:39I'm going to finish my pint.
22:42I'll catch you with you later.
22:43And you, Tracy, you're bad.
22:44What have I done?
22:46You heard her on your bikes.
22:48Typical.
22:49Leave it to the fella to sort it out.
22:51She should be on a leash.
22:54I think that was a clever continuation of a bitch remark.
22:57Thanks for clearing that up there.
22:59Well, that's half the punters cleared out in one fell swoop.
23:04I may as well take me break.
23:08You're a joke!
23:09Do you know that?
23:10You can get a job, get a fella, walk around as if you're almost normal,
23:15but scratch the surface and you're still the same selfish, druggie that...
23:19No, of course not.
23:31It was a made-up report.
23:33Sarah, can I call you back?
23:35OK, love.
23:37Bye, bye.
23:38Got your message?
23:40Yeah.
23:41I know it was you.
23:43I'm going to need a bit more info than that.
23:45This little made-up fraud charge you did.
23:49You really think that's how you're going to get Lisa back to you, by these childish games?
23:53No idea what you're on about.
23:54Oh, you are such a conniver!
23:56Get off me!
23:57Stop!
23:58What?
23:58I'm going to get a niche, it might as well be worth it.
24:00Oh, do you want to hit me?
24:01It was Eli!
24:02Hi!
24:05What?
24:06Costello just confirmed it.
24:11Eli?
24:12Yeah?
24:14He couldn't have been.
24:16And last time we spoke, we were absolutely fine.
24:18I gave him 40% off and...
24:19Oh.
24:23What?
24:23I kind of had lunch with an old mate of his the other day and, um...
24:30And?
24:33Kind of slagged him off a bit.
24:34A bit?
24:35Well, a bit of a lot, but not enough to make him go this mental.
24:38I mean...
24:38Mystery solved, then.
24:41I'll leave you to it.
24:43Looks like you've got a lot of stuff to sort out.
24:50I hardly touched it.
24:51Yeah.
24:52Just like you never slagged off Eli.
24:53What are you still doing here, Tracey?
25:06Did you get a kick watching someone fall apart?
25:08If there's an out on the telly.
25:10Yeah?
25:15Oh, you're blowing civilian lights.
25:18You're blowing lights.
25:18It's a life war.
25:19Easy.
25:20Is it really?
25:21Yeah, yeah.
25:21He tells a different story.
25:23Right, let's have a look.
25:24Do you know what?
25:25Not great, but not bad.
25:26You'll improve.
25:27I was talking about you, lad.
25:29Hey, if you're serious about doing this half-marathon, this won't be a one-off.
25:33Oh, right.
25:33Well, I hope not.
25:34I'll tell you what.
25:35Let me take a quick selfie.
25:36Because that way, if I post about it, I won't pull out.
25:39All right.
25:39Ready?
25:40Look at that.
25:40Two handsome men, eh?
25:42There you go.
25:43Take another one.
25:43Work the angles.
25:44Gorgeous.
25:45There you go.
25:46Champion.
25:47None of this is any fun if you actually get upset.
25:52Yeah.
25:55It's got some chuddy in it, but other than that, it's quite clean.
25:59Classy.
26:00I think we left classy behind, don't you, when you lamped me in the pub.
26:04Well, it's been one of them weeks.
26:06I'm a good listener.
26:07You're a terrible listener.
26:11Oh, yeah, I am, aren't I?
26:12Who am I thinking of?
26:15All right, well, let's see.
26:18Kevin hates me, thinks I'm an unfit mother.
26:21Jack hates me and all, so that's an extra little bonus.
26:24I'm out of a job.
26:25Carl clearly thinks I'm mad, and I'm starting to believe.
26:28I've absolutely no idea what I'm doing.
26:32Well, I think you're going to have to look on the bright side.
26:35What bright side?
26:38At least you're not fizz.
26:40That's well tight.
26:41Or Toya.
26:42Oh, can you imagine being Toya?
26:45With her placards and her floral blouses and vegetarian options.
26:52Hey, you're not like any of the boring wives around here.
26:55At least you've got something about you.
26:58Well, the abbey I used to be friends with did.
27:05That is a beautiful bit of craftsmanship, that is.
27:09Are you handy, Brian?
27:11Only in so much as I live around the corner.
27:14Right, you might have refused payment, but you're getting a free lunch.
27:17No arguments.
27:19Oh, well, no, aren't you, then?
27:20I'll put them in.
27:23What do I get?
27:24A free brew.
27:25I mean, it's a sliding scale.
27:27How about if I alphabeticise them?
27:30A biscuit?
27:30Oh, fair dues.
27:32Right, what do you fancy?
27:33Oh, I'll just have a tuna salad.
27:36I'm trying to be good.
27:37Oh, shall we throw caution into the wind and add a baked potato?
27:40Oh, go on, then.
27:41Go crazy.
27:42So, was this your idea, then, girls?
27:45No, not us.
27:47A mysterious lady friend of Roy's.
27:50Lady friend?
27:51Yeah, we were all lady friend when Roy mentioned it earlier.
27:55Roy mentioned about writing to some lad in prison,
28:00and his mother got in contact to say how much he appreciated it.
28:03Might be her.
28:05All done, Roy.
28:06Oh, thank you.
28:08That's very kind.
28:10I'm surprised that you're giving your books away.
28:12Well, Hayley was a big fan of the whodunits,
28:15and I've read them all over the years when I've been unable to sleep.
28:20I realise that since I know the identity of the perpetrators,
28:24there's little point in holding on to them.
28:26Hmm, makes sense.
28:28I'm, er, alphabeticising.
28:30And sorting according to the genre, I suppose, yeah.
28:36Why didn't you mention this lady friend to me?
28:39I'm here for the gossip, mate.
28:47Oh, look, look, look, look, the back, the back.
28:54I thought you said Eva had parked him.
28:55She did.
28:56It was very dramatic.
28:58Fingers crossed for the second round.
28:59I can't believe we missed the first round.
29:01Do you know what it's like?
29:02It's like a pound shot.
29:03Colleen Rooney versus Rebecca Vardy.
29:07Are you sure this is a good idea?
29:09Do you think you're going to get any sympathy at home?
29:12With that gorilla car?
29:14And if I'm the poor sap who showed you you're going to cry on,
29:17I need a drink.
29:19I asked you two to leave.
29:21Abby really needs to talk.
29:23She's going through something right now.
29:24All right, Tris.
29:25Does he tell the world why don't you?
29:27Eva, have you never heard of female solidarity?
29:30I have got this.
29:32We're supposed to be charming the locals,
29:33not slinging them out.
29:35What would you like, ladies?
29:37Oh, thank you, Maggie.
29:39You're a real breath of fresh air.
29:41Oh, do you know what?
29:42I'm going on my break.
29:43Sorry about that.
29:46She's not a people person.
29:49I'll bring your drinks over.
29:51Great.
29:51Red wine and...
29:52Alaban orange.
29:54Thanks.
29:55Come on.
29:58Well, that was a bit of a letdown, wasn't it?
30:00Well, we already had Carla carted off by the police.
30:03What more action do you need?
30:05I need all I can get these days.
30:06Carla said it was a made-up report.
30:08I don't know what's going on with her these days.
30:10She hardly comes into work at all.
30:11Yeah, and when she does, she can't make a decision.
30:13Honestly, you'd be glad you're in packing.
30:15People think it's dead simple.
30:16But there's seven different types of stick-or-tate for a start.
30:19It's a minefield.
30:23What if he does try and go through with it?
30:25Do you seriously think that social services
30:28are going to give custody of Alfie to Kevin?
30:30From what I've heard,
30:32he's turned number 13 into some sort of poker den.
30:35What's Alfie going to do?
30:37Deal out the cards wearing a little visor?
30:39Yeah, but with my past,
30:40there could be a chance that the courts could side with him.
30:44Oh, pull yourself together.
30:46Alfie isn't even Kevin's kid.
30:49Trust me, all of this is because he's hurting.
30:52That's all.
30:53I hope so.
30:55If I lost Alfie,
30:56I really would have nothing left to live for.
30:57What's all this about you doing a half marathon?
31:06Well, it's just something me and James decided on our run today.
31:08Why?
31:09You look very pally in this photo.
31:11I'm not as pally as you and Pete were yesterday.
31:17Right, so that's what this is about.
31:19It's just a run, Todd.
31:21What a date we can.
31:21Get over yourself.
31:23Right, I'm going to go and get dressed.
31:24Hey, all right?
31:32Thanks for coming.
31:34Yeah, well, the highlight of my day so far
31:35has been Tracy and Abby scrapping at the pub.
31:38So I'm hoping you can beat that.
31:40Sorry I missed it.
31:40Couldn't my day get any worse?
31:42Using humour as a deflection, noted.
31:45You were more fun before you had therapy, you know.
31:48You all right?
31:49Yeah, I need it.
31:49Just a coffee for me, please.
31:51And what's going on over there?
31:54You've put Jack Kerouac's on the road in the travel section.
31:59It's about travel.
32:01It's a novel.
32:04Based on his own travels.
32:07With fictionalised characters.
32:09I thought it'd keep him busy,
32:10but it's already more trouble than it's worth.
32:12Hey!
32:13If you two aren't going to play nicely,
32:15I'll have to take your toys off you.
32:17Books are not toys, Nina.
32:18I'm just trying to inject a bit of levity
32:20into the situation, Roy.
32:22Ah!
32:23Yeah, right.
32:25Unnoted.
32:28So I was convinced it was Becky and I
32:30and she's rubbing it right.
32:32And then Lisa comes in.
32:33Sees me, sees her,
32:35and then who looks like the mutt case?
32:37And where's Lisa now?
32:39Well, that's just it.
32:40Becky played the blind.
32:41I mean, she came over all reasonable
32:43and I just thought about Uma Thurman
32:45in Kill Bill, didn't I?
32:46So she went off.
32:48Lisa followed her.
32:49Well, to be fair,
32:50it wasn't Becky who made the fraud report,
32:52which kind of does make you look like the unreasonable one.
32:57She will have had something to do with it.
32:59I'm being gaslit, Ryan.
33:00Maybe.
33:01What do you mean?
33:02Oh, thanks for the support.
33:04No, but right, okay,
33:04if it is this Eli,
33:06then maybe she's just taking advantage of it.
33:08I mean, she's definitely manipulating you either way.
33:11But, okay,
33:12after my acid attack,
33:14I was convinced that
33:15when people were looking at me,
33:16they were looking at me scars, right?
33:18Then after a little bit,
33:20I realised,
33:21you know,
33:22maybe they're not looking at me scars.
33:23Maybe that's just because
33:24that's what I was focused on.
33:26Maybe they're looking at me for another reason.
33:28Maybe they fancy me.
33:29You can help.
33:29I thought you were mum
33:32one of those boomer shopping spa day things.
33:35Just a change of plan.
33:37What are you up to?
33:38We could stretch for lunch if you want.
33:39I was going to go into town
33:41to get some new trainers.
33:42The soul's come away from this one,
33:43but I am skint as a pair.
33:50Oh, well played.
33:51It's because I'm my favourite child.
33:53Wow.
33:54And some of this.
33:55Lunch would have been cheaper.
33:58Tell mum I'll see you later.
33:59Well, dear.
34:00Love you.
34:00Love you.
34:01Unbelievable.
34:04What do you think it's doing to Betsy's head, eh?
34:07All this.
34:08Especially with that mum
34:09in her ear all the time.
34:11Sounds to me like
34:11you're playing right into Becky's hand.
34:13She just makes me so mad, Ryan.
34:17Honestly,
34:17it's just sniffing around Lisa
34:19all the time
34:20with that smug, stupid little face
34:21and her face is falling for it.
34:23Lisa loves you.
34:25Carla,
34:26Lisa's going to choose you
34:27every time.
34:28And where is she then?
34:44Been looking for you everywhere.
34:50You're transferring your phone, you know.
34:51You're a copper.
34:53Didn't want to make it too easy for you.
34:57Been looking at those photos
34:58from that holiday we had in Istanbul.
35:03Becky, this has got to stop.
35:05What, me loving you?
35:07All of it.
35:07Housekeeper's day off.
35:37Have you come to kick off
35:38about Abbey?
35:39No, actually.
35:40I've come to fight her corner.
35:43She's really upset.
35:45She burst into tears
35:46after you stormed off.
35:48Now, sit down.
35:50No, I won't, her.
35:52Listen, Kev.
35:55I've known you my whole life.
35:57And I know we're not exactly
35:59bezzy mates or out,
36:00but you're not a cruel person.
36:02She's told me you're threatening
36:04to take Alfie off her.
36:06I was just trying to
36:07shock her into coming to her senses,
36:11sorting herself out,
36:12gallivanting with Carl,
36:14ignoring calls from the nursery.
36:16What, and you thought
36:16threatening to take a kid away
36:18was the best way to go about it?
36:19Well, someone's got to get through to her.
36:21Probably not that way.
36:22Probably not.
36:24You've seen the state of this place.
36:26I can barely look after myself these days,
36:28let alone a toddler.
36:30I could have easily kicked off
36:32when Carla went for me.
36:33You reported her.
36:34I know.
36:35She always liked that,
36:36firing pot shots at random people
36:38flying off the handle.
36:39I knew I were being stalked.
36:44You think that's what I'm doing?
36:46Stalking you?
36:47Well, whatever it is,
36:48it's got to stop.
36:52Wait, Becky.
36:54Becky!
37:10I'm sorry about what I said before.
37:12I think the half marathon's
37:14a really good idea.
37:15Yeah?
37:16Even if I'll be training
37:17with a fit PT like James?
37:18They're all fit, aren't they?
37:20Won't get many clients if they weren't.
37:21Well, there's no need to get jealous.
37:23As the, er,
37:24great walrus of love
37:26Barry White wrote.
37:27I love you just the way you are.
37:28Actually, it was, er,
37:29Billy Joel wrote it.
37:30Er, Barry White just covered it.
37:32You're right,
37:33little Noah, are you, aren't you?
37:34Good job.
37:34I love every little lump
37:35and blub, blub, blub.
37:36Get off.
37:37I'm only messing about.
37:40I'll tell you what,
37:40why don't you
37:41do this half marathon with me?
37:43Eh?
37:43We don't want you
37:44getting a spare tyre.
37:44That's a hard, no, er,
37:46it's my idea of hell.
37:48You wanted to go for a run
37:48this afternoon?
37:49Yeah, I'll go for a run.
37:50I just don't want to do it
37:51next to a bunch of people
37:51dressed as cartoon animals.
37:54Anyway,
37:54you don't want to go for a run
37:55with me now, do you?
37:56You've just been with James.
37:57Oh, no, no.
37:57I need the practice.
37:59Come on,
38:00put your running gear on.
38:00Yeah?
38:01Let's just do a quick 5K.
38:03Hmm?
38:10Hey.
38:11You can't stay away
38:12from me today.
38:15I've, er,
38:16been to see Kevin.
38:17Eh?
38:17Er, what's she doing here?
38:19I'm doing Abby a favour.
38:21Oh, that's her laugh.
38:22It wasn't long since
38:22you were blackmailing us both.
38:25He didn't mean it about Alfie.
38:27He only said that
38:28to try and shock you
38:29into taking better care of him.
38:30I am doing me best.
38:31Don't tell me that.
38:33Tell him.
38:34Anyway, he's dropped
38:34the whole idea.
38:36Not that he had
38:37any intention of going
38:38through with it
38:38in the first place.
38:40No need to thank me.
38:42Thank you?
38:42I could kiss you.
38:44Er, no, Tar.
38:46I know where you've been.
38:49Bye.
38:54This might be
38:56the kick up the backside
38:56that I needed.
38:58Where are you going now?
38:59I'm going to get Alfie.
39:00From now on,
39:01everything's going to be different.
39:03Me, you and him,
39:04we're going to be
39:04a proper little family.
39:06Mmm.
39:13Terrific.
39:16How about a couple
39:17of knock-knock jokes, eh?
39:18Listen, you're fine.
39:20I just feel a bit meh.
39:22Maybe a dirty limerick?
39:23Oh, that brings back memories.
39:25Eh?
39:25My auntie Janine
39:26had a summer cottage there.
39:28Where?
39:29Limerick.
39:31What were you talking about?
39:34She managed to do
39:35in two seconds
39:36what I failed to do
39:36in half an hour.
39:37Maggie, there's no tonic.
39:39You know where they are?
39:40Blimey, look at the state of you.
39:47What, can you come in
39:48for a drink
39:49or a defibrillator?
39:525k.
39:52Oh, come on, please.
39:53We've just done once
39:54around the red rack.
39:55It's a big rack.
39:56And so are you,
39:57but I don't go on about it.
39:58I need a lager.
40:00Too right.
40:01You've a look of
40:02John Mills
40:02and Ice Cold and Alex.
40:05I'll tell you what,
40:05will you make that too, please?
40:06And do you want to drink, girls?
40:08Oh, go on,
40:08I'll have a G&T.
40:09I'm feeling fancy.
40:10Ooh, yeah, same for me, thanks.
40:12Get a shift on those
40:13tannics, Eva.
40:14I don't like to keep
40:14my customers waiting.
40:18Excuse me.
40:20Oh, so, um,
40:21what is all this in aid of?
40:23Oh, get a fit.
40:24Well, you wouldn't catch me
40:26in a gym.
40:27People have heart attacks
40:29in gyms.
40:29When have you been
40:30near a gym ever?
40:31Exactly.
40:32And I'm strong as an ox.
40:34I mean, be with him.
40:36I've just realised
40:37that I can't rely solely
40:38on my sparkling personality
40:39anymore.
40:40He's trying to talk me
40:41into signing up
40:41for a half marathon, really.
40:43Well, I mean,
40:44talk is cheap.
40:45We're both entered.
40:47What?
40:48Yeah.
40:49You know,
40:49I signed up online
40:50and the best thing is
40:52we're raising money
40:52for an M&D charity.
40:53Oh.
40:54See him.
40:55Oh, that is so wonderful.
40:57Oh, I could hug you
40:59but I've just washed my hair.
41:00Well, you're always saying
41:01you want to do more for him
41:01after we were so brilliant
41:02with Paul.
41:03So, you know,
41:04two birds,
41:05one stunt
41:05and the best bit is
41:06now you can't get out of it.
41:07I did text you.
41:16I was going to get cracking
41:17on with some dinner
41:18but there's very little
41:19to work with.
41:20Which is why I picked
41:21something up.
41:22I thought we'd go healthy.
41:25Oh.
41:26Then I decided
41:27that was a terrible idea
41:28so it was dirty burgers
41:29and posh wine.
41:30Hmm.
41:31Result.
41:34Hey.
41:35Hey.
41:37Look,
41:38I, uh,
41:39I thought you'd be mad at me,
41:41you know,
41:41for going after her
41:42but I just don't want
41:43to cause any more trouble
41:44for us, Carla.
41:44I know, I know,
41:45I thought you'd be mad at me
41:46because I went off at her
41:48but I don't know.
41:51I think that's what she wants
41:52to wind me up
41:53and push my buttons.
41:55Yeah,
41:55well,
41:55I told her to leave us alone.
41:57Did you?
41:59Yeah.
42:02Really sorry
42:03I let her ruin today for us.
42:06No, you didn't.
42:08You didn't.
42:11Anyway,
42:12you've salvaged it
42:12with dirty burgers and wine.
42:16I just need to
42:17keep telling myself
42:18that this situation
42:19is not going to be forever.
42:21She's going to be gone soon
42:22and I just need to keep a lid
42:24on this awful temper of mine.
42:26I'm telling you, baby,
42:27it ain't easy.
42:30Come here.
42:45Ah,
42:46sir's now demanding
42:47a bubble bath,

43:23for any little flats
43:24somewhere central.
43:27Are you serious?
43:29You still live in the same place?
43:32Oh,
