06:48union man or league man?
06:49i played union for a few years.
06:50oh.
06:51you know i think it was will carling who first drew me to the 15 man game.
06:56let me guess.
06:59um.
07:00fly half.
07:01tight head prop.
07:02ah. yes. yes. i i see that now.
07:04it's the um.
07:06it's the thighs.
07:08bye.
07:09goodbye.
07:10you my friend are an inspiration to us all.
07:14how so?
07:15this letter writing to prisoners.
07:17a selfless act that i can only imagine brings untold joy to its recipients.
07:22not entirely selfless. i find the process therapeutic.
07:26when i was in prison the occasional letter came as a much needed metaphorical escape from four walls.
07:36briny pritchard.
07:37excuse me?
07:38she sat next to me at primary school.
07:40oh.
07:41she was lovely.
07:42mousy hair, bright blue eyes, rosy cheeks.
07:44i think i can safely say she was the first person to set my heart aflutter.
07:48i'm not sure why you tell him of this.
07:50her parents emigrated to australia.
07:52they took briny with them of course.
07:55still not sure?
07:56we became pen pals.
07:57ah. oh yeah. ah.
07:59despite being on opposite sides of the planet we managed to write to each other at least once a month.
08:03we exchanged letters for i don't know maybe twenty years.
08:08that's so romantic.
08:09indeed.
08:10i dared to dream that we might meet again one day.
08:13but um.
08:14our correspondence eventually faded and died.
08:17oh dear.
08:18yeah.
08:19sad story.
08:20but those letters.
08:21so emotional.
08:22so full of longing.
08:24but uh.
08:25you won't have to worry about that writing to those roughy tufty criminals.
08:30well i'm also corresponding with one of the prisoners mothers.
08:34oh.
08:35how interesting.
08:36this is nonsense.
08:37the old thing.
08:38i know.
08:39i've tried to tell her.
08:40but i don't need this.
08:41especially today.
08:42i've got stuff to do.
08:43that.
08:44but i'm afraid fraud is a serious matter.
08:45and we have to follow procedure.
08:47seriously guys.
08:48inside.
08:49oh it's coffee bread.
08:50seriously.

09:01in my factory.
09:02what kind of fraud are we talking about?
09:03well that's what i asked and she won't tell me.
09:05i've been asked to take mrs connor in for questioning.

09:08that's what i want to know.
09:09i can't say.
09:10well i can.
09:11it's obvious isn't it?
09:12well who would want to spoil our special day?

11:38and i'll tell you for why you know.
11:40right.
11:41go on then.
11:46what because she thinks that lisa prefers tulips to roses.
11:49so this is about lisa's taste in floristria.
11:52i know i know that sounds stupid and doesn't make any sense but.
11:55it went something like this.

11:59i'd arrange a lovely day out for us together.

12:10then all of a sudden i'm in a police car and i end up here.
12:13right.
12:14i see.
12:15well i mean let's drop this charade and let me go.
12:18these are serious allegations carla.
12:20but she's made them all up.
12:22i've seen the paperwork they're pretty detailed.
12:24now would you say becky's a financial expert?
12:26well i don't know.
12:27do i?
12:28she faked her own death.
12:29she's probably capable of everything.
12:34you got a minute?
12:35yeah.
12:36sure.
12:37um.
12:38do you want a tea or coffee or anything like that?

13:08hang on how come you're not at school?
13:11are you skiving?
13:12i saw hope earlier.
13:14i think they've got like an insect day.
13:16please leave me alone okay?
13:18i don't care about you and i don't want to talk to you.
13:29hey.
13:30i know you're having a tough time but we both know that abby loves you.
13:33and i'm not sure what you just said is helping either of you.
13:35eh?
13:39right about.
13:40he asked me to pop in said he might have a job for us.
13:42i'm afraid not but we'll be back soon.
13:44oh.
13:47i'm so sorry.
13:48issues with the tram.
13:50slight delay but inconvenient nonetheless.
13:52ah.
13:53ed said that you may have a job for him.
13:55oh yes yes.
13:56i'm thinking of starting a small book exchange scheme here in the cafe.
14:02and i wonder if you might construct me a library box.
14:05oh.
14:06you know.
14:07roig.
14:08that was a lovely idea that.
14:09i can manage that no problem.
14:10if you could give me an idea as to the price.
14:12what.
14:13actually i think i've got something to do the job with a bit of upcycling.
14:16well obviously i'll pay you for your labour.
14:19do you know what roycy.
14:20it is my contribution to an excellent community idea.
14:23come on.
14:24yeah.
14:25yeah.
14:26look.
14:27look.
14:28i know we should probably be careful what we're saying here.
14:30but i reckon costello could have helped becky set this whole thing up.
14:33you know.
14:34you can go.
14:35what.
14:36what.
14:37we're done.

14:56she should be the one locked up.
15:01of course i understand.
15:04you can't let ali her down.
15:06not if she's booked something.
15:08look.
15:09Look, no worries. Maybe another time, eh?
15:12All right. Bye.
15:15Hey! Good news?
15:17What?
15:18I've cancelled poker night so we can do something, I thought.
15:21Order pizza, stick something. Superhero on cellar.
15:25I'm going out.
15:27Going out where?
15:29Just down the precinct with me mates.
15:31Oh, you never said.
15:33I thought you were playing poker.
15:35You didn't cancel for me, did you?
15:37No, of course not.
15:39Look, you go. Have a good time.
15:42What will you do?
15:43Well, don't worry about me.
15:45I'll see you later.
15:47Yeah.
15:49Okay. See you later.
15:58Oh, that is brilliant.
16:01What's that one?
16:02This one.
16:03You want to watch yourself, young man?
16:05Eva's spoken for, and her fella could lay you out with one punch.
16:10Have you been flirting with her?
16:11No!
16:12No!
16:13We were just saying how important it is to be diplomatic when you work in hospitality.
16:19Like not staring at a guy with a zit on his nose.
16:22That has proper tickled me, that.
16:27You okay?
16:28Not really, no.
16:29Well, I've just got us drinks.
16:31Do you want to go sit down?
16:36Seriously, are you trying to start a fight?
16:38I'm not the one flirting with the punters.
16:40I wasn't flirting.
16:41I was just being my normal, nice self, trying to do my job.
16:44Did I miss something?
16:45No.
16:50Why would I be flirting with it when I knew you were walking through the door any second?
16:54It's not that.
16:56Then what is it?
16:57I saw Jack in the cafe earlier.
17:02He hates me so much.
17:03No, he doesn't.
17:04I could see it in his eyes.
17:06He's...
17:06And he's right, you know.
17:08I messed up his life.
17:10His dad's life.
17:12Well, it wasn't just you.
17:14We both did.
17:16Well, yeah, but I still feel bad about it.
17:20Why don't we do something this afternoon?
17:22Everything's on track at the hotel.
17:24Well, maybe me and you can get back to having some fun again.
17:27I'm not feeling it.
17:28Not after what happened with Alfie yesterday afternoon.
17:31Hey.
17:32You're a good mother, Abby.
17:34I see it every day.
17:35Everyone knows it.
17:37And deep down, Kev does too.
17:39Don't doubt yourself.
17:43Well, thank you both very much.
17:45No worries.
17:46See you later.
17:46See you.
17:47Bye.
17:48It's a brilliant idea, Roy.
17:49Well done.
17:50Well, I can't claim all the credit.
17:52A friend of mine has seen a similar scheme in a cafe near to where she lives.
17:58She?
17:59What, like...
18:00Like a lady friend?
18:03Who is she?
18:05Nobody you know.
18:07I'll just go and store these till Ed has finished the library books.
18:13Did he justify the question?
18:16Yep, I think he did.
18:19I've not finished that.
18:21Back in a sec.
18:21I'll guard it with me life.
18:23She's the one that actually killed a man.
18:25Oh, Tracy.
18:26Oh, yeah.
18:27Hang on.
18:27She killed a man?
18:28Yeah.
18:29Smacked him on the head with a blunt object.
18:30Who was it she killed?
18:32Her boyfriend.
18:34Of course, maybe he deserved it.
18:37Are you serious?
18:37So how come she's not in prison?
18:39Uh, I don't actually know.
18:42Strange thing is, I quite like her.
18:44You would.
18:46What's that supposed to mean?
18:47Well, Ryan, can you ask me a question?
18:52What?
18:53How'd you go about starting a podcast?
18:55You want to, um, you want to start a podcast?
18:58Yeah.
18:58Get this.
18:59Dog training.
19:00People phone in with questions about the dogs.
19:02Separation anxiety.
19:04Barking.
19:05Pulling on the lead.
19:06And I give them advice about how to make it better.
19:08I could be sponsored by pet food.
19:10You know what, mate?
19:11It's almost a good idea, that.
19:15Uh, orange and another pint, please.
19:21Look, I'm sorry if I was a bit chippy earlier.
19:23Oh, don't be daft.
19:25I've had worse.
19:26Hey, she trying to nip my drink?
19:29Shut up, Tracy.
19:30I ain't got near your drink.
19:31I'm not judging.
19:33Addiction is a terrible disease.
19:35It's easy to fall off the wagon.
19:37Are you two friends?
19:38Honestly, I never know.
19:40Oh, she loves me, really.
19:42Right, do me a favour.
19:43Just keep your distance, all right?
19:45I like banter as much as you, but not today.
19:48Well, that's you told.
19:53Ah, dear Swain.
19:55Thought you'd be relaxing in a spa somewhere.
19:58Hmm.
19:58Yeah, I should be.
20:00Look, we all know Carla hasn't been involved in any wrongdoing,
20:03and I don't believe you have enough evidence to warrant holding her,
20:05so I think...
20:05She's been released.
20:08Right.
20:09So where is she, then?
20:11Oh, we thought she was with you.
20:13She was pretty mad when she left,
20:14threatening to sort out your ex.
20:16Which would be a shame,
20:17as a complaint came from an ex-client of Underworld,
20:20Eli Merton.
20:22Apparently accused one of her workers of sexual harassment.
20:26Carla retaliated by spreading rumours about him,
20:28and this is his way of getting back at her.
20:31And does she know this?
20:33I'm afraid not.
20:37Don't stir it.
20:38I don't think that bear need my help.
20:41I just don't want to miss it if they kick off.
20:44His name was Morgan, Jack Russell,
20:47half-blind, 13 years old,
20:49limping on three paws,
20:50and still attacked every dog he saw.
20:52Dog-on-dog reactivity.
20:53Some dogs are just busted for a fight.
20:55Most often, they don't be properly socialised.
20:58You know what, you could be really good at this, you know?
21:01I know we've had a rough time lately,
21:02but let's not forget how exciting it was before.
21:06I should stop beating myself up.
21:08Problem is, I'm dead good at it.
21:10You deserve to be happy.
21:12We both do.
21:14I know what I said yesterday,
21:16but I will never give up on Alfie.
21:20Oh, that's a shame.
21:22He'd be so much better off without you.
21:24What did you just say?
21:26Nothing.
21:28Why are you even listening to our conversation?
21:31Get a life.
21:32Wind your neck in, Tracy.
21:34Look, I just think that your boyfriend
21:36is getting bored of you,
21:38banging on about what a tragic life you've got,
21:40when the truth is you brought it all on yourself.
21:43Don't let her wind you up.
21:44No, I'm fine.
21:46You've got to feel sorry for Kevin.
21:47He is a really good dad.
21:49Quite frankly, he's the best parent that lad's got.
21:52Hey, since she's shacked up with her brother,
21:55poor lad don't stand a chance.
21:59Albert!
21:59Albert!
21:59Albert!
21:59You bitch!
22:26Pipe down, Tracy!
22:27Are you just going to stand there catching flies?
22:30No.
22:30She was winding me up.
22:32What are you telling me?
22:33Not my monkey.
22:34Not my circus.
22:35Abbey, out.
22:40I'm going to finish my pint.
22:42I'll catch you all with you later.
22:43And you, Tracy.
22:43You'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.
22:53I think that was a clever continuation of a bitch remark.
22:57Thanks for clearing her up, babe.
22:59Well, that's half the punters cleared out in one fell swoop.
23:04I may as well take me break.
23:06What?
23:07You're a joke!
23:09Do you know that?
23:10You can get a job, get a fella,
23:12walk around as if you're almost normal,
23:14but scratch the surface and you're still the same
23:17selfish druggie that...
23:19No, of course not.
23:31It was a made-up report.
23:33Sarah, can I call you back?
23:36OK, 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
23:51by these childish games?
23:53No idea what you're on about.
23:54You are such a conniver!
23:56Stop!
23:58What?
23:58I'm going to get a nitty.
23:59Might as well be worth it.
24:00Oh, do you want to hit me?
24:01It was Eli!
24:05What?
24:06Costello just confirmed it.
24:11Eli?
24:12Yeah?
24:12It couldn't have been.
24:16I mean, last time we spoke, we were absolutely fine.
24:18I gave him 40% off and...
24:20Oh.
24:23What?
24:25I kind of had lunch with an old mate of his the other day and...
24:30And?
24:32I kind 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.
24:39I'll leave you to it.
24:43Looks like you've got a lot of stuff to sort out.
24:50I hardly touched her.
24:51Yeah.
24:52Just like you never slagged off, Eli.
24:53Eli?
25:03What are you still doing here, Tracy?
25:06Did you get a kick watching someone fall apart?
25:08If there's an out on the telly.
25:10Yeah.
25:15Oh, oh, oh!
25:16You're blowing to me, lad.
25:18You're blowing, actually.
25:18It's like, oh, easy to be out.
25:20Is it really?
25:21Yeah, yeah.
25:21Face 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.
25:28Hey, if you're serious about doing this half-marathon, this won't be a one-off.
25:33Oh, right.
25:33Well, I hope not.
25:34Well, 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.
25:46None 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.
26:09You're a terrible listener.
26:11Oh, yeah, I am, aren't I?
26:12Who am I thinking of?
26:14All 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.
26:37What 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.
26:51Hey, 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.
27:00That is a beautiful bit of craftsmanship, that is.
27:10Are you handy, Brian?
27:11Only in so much as, um, 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 there?
27:20I'll, I'll, I'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 alphabetisize them?
27:30A biscuit?
27:30Oh, fair dues.
27:32Right, what do you fancy?
27:33Oh, um, I'll just have a tuna salad.
27:36I'm trying to be good.
27:37Ooh, shall we throw caution into the wind and add a baked potato?
27:40Oh, go on, then, go 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, um, 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?
28:46I'm here for the gossip, mate.
28:47Oh, look, look, look, look, the back, the back.
28:53I thought you said Eva had parted 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.
29:06Are you sure this is a good idea?
29:09Do you think you're going to get any sympathy at home with that gorilla Carl?
29:14And if I'm the poor sap who showed you you're going to cry on, I 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.
29:25You tell the world why don't you?
29:27Eva, have you never heard of female solidarity?
29:30I have got this, thank you.
29:32We're supposed to be charming the locals, not 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.
29:44Sorry about that.
29:46She's not a people person.
29:49I'll bring your drinks over.
29:51Great.
29:51Red wine and...
29:52Almond orange.
29:54Thanks.
29:55Go on.
29:58Well, that was a bit of a letdown, wasn't it?
30:00Hmm?
30:00Well, we already had Carla caught off by the police.
30:03What more action do you need?
30:04I 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-y tape 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 are going to give custody of Alfie
30:29to Kevin?
30:30From what I've heard, he's turned number 13 into some sort of poker den.
30:35What's Alfie going to do?
30:36Deal out the cards wearing a little visor?
30:39Yeah, but we might pass.
30:41There 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, I really would have nothing left to live for.
31:03What'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?
31:09Is it very pally in this photo?
31:10Not 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, you 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.
31:39Sorry 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, then.
31:48You all right?
31:49Yeah, I need it.
31:49Just a coffee for me, please.
31:52What's going on over there?
31:54You've put Jack Kerouac's on the road in the travel station.
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 into the situation, Roy.
32:22Ah.
32:22Yeah, right.
32:25Unnoted.
32:28So I was convinced it was Becky and Ian's wrapping it right.
32:32And then Lisa comes in.
32:33Sees me, sees her,
32:35and then who looks like the look case.
32:37And where's Lisa now?
32:38Well, that's just it.
32:40Becky played the blind.
32:41I mean, she came over all reasonable,
32:43and I just looked like Uma Thurman in Kill Bill, didn't I?
32:46So she went off.
32:48Lisa foaled her.
32:49Well, to be fair, it wasn't Becky who made the fraud report.
32:53Which kind of does make you look like the unreasonable one.
32:57She will have had something to do with it.
32:59And being gaslit, Ryan.
33:00Maybe.
33:01What do you mean?
33:02Oh, thanks for the support.
33:04No, right, okay, if 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, after my acid attack,
33:14I was convinced that when people were looking at me,
33:16they were looking at me scars, right?
33:18Then after a little bit,
33:20I realised, you know,
33:22maybe they're not looking at me scars.
33:23Maybe that's just because that'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.
33:30I thought you were among one of those
33:32boomer 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 to 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 my mum I'll see you later.
34:00Well, dear, love you.
34:01Unbelievable.
34:04What do you think it's doing to Betsy's head, eh?
34:07All this.
34:07Especially with that mum.
34:09In her ear all the time.
34:11Sounds to me like you're playing right into Becky's hand.
34:13She just makes me so mad, Ryan.
34:17Honestly, it's just sniffing around Lisa all the time
34:20with that smug, stupid little face
34:21and her face is falling for it.
34:23Lisa loves you.
34:25Carla, Lisa's going to choose you every time.
34:29And where is she then?
34:30I've been looking for you everywhere.
34:50I could try answering your phone, you know.
34:51I know you're a copper.
34:53Didn't want to make it too easy for you.
34:57Been looking at those photos from that holiday we had in Istanbul.
35:03Becky, this has got to stop.
35:05What, me loving you?
35:06All of it.
35:07Housekeeper's day off.
35:37Have you come to kick off about Abbey?
35:39No, actually. I've come to fight her corner.
35:43She's really upset.
35:45She burst into tears after you stormed off.
35:48Now, sit down.
35:50No, I won't, Tal.
35:52Listen, Kev.
35:55I've known you my whole life.
35:57And I know we're not exactly bezzy mates or out,
36:00but you're not a cruel person.
36:03She's told me you're threatening to take Alfie off her.
36:06I was just trying to shock her into coming to her senses,
36:11sorting herself out, gallivanting with Carl,
36:14ignoring calls from the nursery.
36:16What, and you thought threatening 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 when Carla went for me.
36:33It reported her.
36:34I know.
36:35Is she always like that?
36:36Firing potshots at random people,
36:38flying off the handle?
36:39I think when we're being stalked...
36:42You think that's what I'm doing?
36:46Stalking you?
36:47Well, whatever it is, it's got to stop.
36:52Wait, Becky.
36:54Becky!
36:54Becky!
36:54Becky!
36:54Becky!
36:54Becky!
36:54Becky!
36:54Becky!
36:54Becky!
36:55Becky!
36:55Becky!
36:56Becky!
36:57Becky!
36:58Becky!
36:59I'm sorry about what I said before.
37:12I think the half marathon's a really good idea.
37:15Yeah?
37:16Even if I'll be training with a fit PT like James?
37:18They're all fit, aren't they?
37:19Won't get many clients if they weren't.
37:21No, there's no need to get jealous.
37:23As the, er, great walrus of love, Barry White wrote.
37:27I love you just the way you are.
37:28Actually, it was, er, Billy Joel wrote it, er, Barry White just covered it.
37:32You're all right, little Noah, are you, aren't you?
37:34Good job.
37:34I love every little lump and bug bug you'd get off.
37:36I'm only messing about.
37:40I'll tell you what, why don't you do this half marathon with me, eh?
37:43We don't want you getting a spare tire.
37:44That's a hard, no, er, it's my idea of hell.
37:47You wanted to go for a run this afternoon?
37:49Yeah, I'll go for a run.
37:50I just don't want to do it next to a bunch of people dressed as cartoon animals.
37:53Anyway, you don't want to go for a run with me now, do you?
37:56You've just been with James.
37:57Oh, no, no.
37:58I need the practice.
37:59Come on, put your running gear on, yeah?
38:01Yeah, let's just do a quick 5K.
38:03Hm?
38:10Hey.
38:11You can't stay away from me today.
38:14I've, er, been to see Kevin.
38:17Hey.
38:18Er, what's she doing here?
38:19I'm doing Abby a favour.
38:21Well, that's her laugh.
38:22It wasn't long since you were blackmailing us both.
38:24He didn't mean it about Alfie.
38:27He only said that to try and shock you into taking better care of him.
38:30I am doing me best.
38:32Don't tell me that.
38:33Tell him.
38:34Anyway, he's dropped the whole idea.
38:36Not that he had any intention of going through with it in the first place.
38:40No need to thank me.
38:42Thank you?
38:43I could kiss you.
38:44Er, no, Tar.
38:46I know where you've been.
38:50Bye.
38:51This might be the kick up the backside that I needed.
38:57Where are you going now?
38:59I'm gonna get Alfie.
39:00From now on, everything's gonna be different.
39:02Me, you and him, we're gonna be a proper little family.
39:05Mmm.
39:06Terrific.
39:07How about a couple of knock-knock jokes, eh?
39:08Listen, you're fine.
39:09I just feel a bit meh.
39:10Maybe a dirty limerick?
39:11Oh, that brings back memories.
39:12Eh?
39:13My Auntie Janine had a summer cottage there.
39:14Where?
39:15Limerick.
39:16What were you talking about?
39:17How would she manage to do in two seconds what I failed to do in half an hour?
39:20Mackie, there's no tonic.
39:21You know where they are?
39:22Oh.
39:23Oh.
39:24Oh.
39:25Oh.
39:26Oh.
39:27Oh.
39:28Oh.
39:29Oh.
39:30Oh.
39:31Oh.
39:32Oh.
39:33Oh.
39:34Oh.
39:35Oh.
39:36Oh.
39:37Oh.
39:38Oh.
39:39Oh.
39:40Oh.
39:41Oh.

39:43Oh.
39:44Oh.
39:45Oh, blimey.
39:46Look at the state of you.
39:47Hmm.
39:48What have you come in for?
39:49A drink?
39:50Or a defibrillator?
39:51I spend 5K.
39:52Oh, come on.
39:53Please.
39:54We've just done once around the red rack.
39:55It's a big rack.
39:56And so are you.
39:57But I don't go on about it.
39:58Oh.
39:59Need a lager.
40:00Too right.
40:01You've a look of John Mills and Ice Cold and Alex.
40:04I'll tell you what.
40:05Will you make that too, please?
40:06And do you want to drink, girls?
40:07Oh, go on.
40:08I'll have a G&T.
40:09I'm feeling fancy.
40:10Oh, yeah.
40:11Same for me, thanks.
40:12Get a shift on those tannics, Eva.
40:14I don't like to keep my customers waiting.
40:16Excuse me.
40:18Oh, so, um, what is all this in aid of?
40:23Getting fit.
40:24Getting fit.
40:25Well, you wouldn't catch me in a gym.
40:27People have heart attacks in gyms.
40:29When have you been near a gym ever?
40:31Exactly.
40:32And I'm strong as an ox.
40:34Eh.
40:35Being with him, I've just realised that I can't rely solely on my sparkling personality
40:39anymore.
40:40He's trying to talk me into signing up for a half marathon, really.
40:43Well, I mean, talk is cheap.
40:45We're both entered.
40:46What?
40:47Yeah.
40:48You know, I signed up online and, er, the best thing is we're raising money for an M&D
40:53charity.
40:54Oh.
40:55See him.
40:56Oh, that is so wonderful.
40:57Oh.
40:58Oh, I could hug you, but I've just washed my hair.
41:00Well, you're always saying you want to do more for him after we were so brilliant with
41:03Paul.
41:04So, you know, two birds, one stunt, and the best bit is now you can't get out of it.
41:07Hey.
41:08Hey.
41:09I did text you.
41:10I was going to get cracking on with some dinner, but there's very little to work with.
41:20Which is why I picked something up.
41:22I thought we'd go healthy.
41:24Oh.
41:25Then I decided that was a terrible idea, so it was dirty burgers and posh wine.
41:30Hmm.
41:31Result.
41:32Hey.
41:33Hey.
41:34Hey.
41:35Hey.
41:36Hey.
41:37Look.
41:38I, er, I thought you'd be mad at me, you know, for going after her, but I just don't
41:43want to cause any more trouble for us, Carla.
41:45I know, I know you'd be mad at me because I went off at her, but I don't know.
41:50I think that's what she wants, to wind me up and push my buttons.
41:55Yeah, well, I told her to leave us alone.
41:57Did you?
41:58Yeah.
41:59I'm very sorry I let her ruin today for us.
42:04No, you didn't.
42:05You didn't.
42:06Anyway, you've salvaged it with dirty burgers and wine.
42:11I just need to keep telling herself that this situation is not going to be forever, she's
42:18going to be gone soon, and I just need to keep a lid on this awful temper of mine.
42:24But I'm telling you, babe, it ain't easy.
42:29Come here.
42:31Oh, sir's now demanding a bubble bath, so there might be some time.
42:50No worries.
42:51Yes, me, it's Carl.
