00:00Ladies, and what a relief it is to have no gentlemen here.
00:28As a woman who has dedicated her life to building businesses, there's a few things I've learnt.
00:37Top of the list...
00:40Oh, damn it.
00:44Why don't you just read it? No one will mind.
00:47It's two milky coffees.
00:49I ordered a black one, did I? Did I?
00:53I'm sorry, Roy, my head's all over the shop.
00:55No, you definitely did. Mind me's sake, I'll rectify it.
00:58Fine.
01:01I don't think I should be doing this speech today.
01:03Of course you should.
01:05Do you want me to be there?
01:07No, it's a women-only event.
01:10You do look good in a dress.
01:12Very funny.
01:13You're right.
01:16I'll read it.
01:17That takes the pressure off.
01:19Good.
01:19Now, can we talk shop for a minute?
01:22I really need to get into those accounts, and you've still got to give me the details.
01:26Oh, let's not do numbers right now.
01:28Thanks, Roy.
01:29I've got a head full of words, and after I've finished this coffee,
01:33I'm off to register the wedding, so it's a busy, busy day.
01:38And you're totally on top of it.
01:41Come and find me at the hotel later, yeah?
01:43We'll sort it then.
01:44And just think, once you give me those logging details,
01:46there'll be one less thing for you to worry about.
01:54What time are you on site?
01:57Er, about an hour.
02:00Are you going to be all right on your own?
02:02I'm going to go and see Summer anyway.
02:06Is that wise?
02:08She was collapsed yesterday.
02:09I need to see how she is.
02:11Yeah, I know, but she was going to ask what happened, didn't she?
02:14And I will tell her the same thing I told the doctor.
02:18But what if she don't believe you?
02:21Why wouldn't she?
02:23Well, because she's got Billy in her ear, hasn't she?
02:25And he hates me.
02:25Not this again.
02:26Look, I don't want people jumping to the wrong conclusions.
02:32Not the right conclusions.
02:35Sorry?
02:37Nothing.
02:39Look, you know it was an accident.
02:42We don't need to go through all that again, do we?
02:45No, of course not.
02:47Look, couldn't you just, you know, lay low for a couple of days until the wound calms down?
02:57Hide, you mean?
02:59Well, just, I don't know, just say you've gone to London to visit your old flatmates.
03:03Is that really necessary?
03:05We don't need the gossip.
03:07It'll only undermine us.
03:09Please, babe.
03:13I just, you know, I know this is shaking you up.
03:18As it has me.
03:19And I just want to be able to help you recover.
03:23You know, without people sticking their oar in.
03:26Okay, then.
03:28Babe.
03:30And, er, I'll get you a takeaway for tea.
03:35It was a thanks, eh?
03:37Something fatty and greasy.
03:39Yeah?
03:40Just this once.
03:44Alright.
03:45See you later.
03:49Okay, let's eat, let's eat.
03:51So, I've got all her favourite things.
03:53Let's just, er, hope that she's hungry.
03:56Let's, er...
03:57Honey, what if she's not?
03:58Because I don't really want us to feel, like, overwhelmed.
04:01What, by a few crisps?
04:03No, you are right.
04:04You're always right.
04:05Because I'm overthinking, right?
04:07Overthinking is the art of solving problems that don't exist.
04:10I read that recently.
04:12No, it's very good.
04:12And, er, thank you.
04:14You're welcome.
04:15Right, and I have got her favourite furry blanket.
04:18So she can, er, you know, snuggle if she really wants.
04:21Goddammit!
04:22What have I done here?
04:23Have I got time to wash this again?
04:25No, just calm down.
04:26The only thing that's going to stress her out is you being stressed.
04:29No, no, but honey, I just want everything to be perfect.
04:33Well, when has everything been perfect in this, Al?
04:35Yeah, you want her to feel at home, don't you?
04:38Yeah, help me.
04:39Okay, okay, all right.
04:41Now, big, deep breaths, okay?
04:43Yeah.
04:43In through the nose.
04:45Out through the mouth.
04:46Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.
04:47In through the nose.
04:48Out through the mouth.
04:49Oh, good.
04:50In through the nose.
04:52Out through the mouth.
04:52Oh, no, no, I just need to put the sending candle by her bed, so let's just keep it together,
04:56keep it together, keep it together, keep it together, keep it together, keep it together.
05:06Morning, love.
05:12Carla's moved out, hasn't she?
05:13And don't lie, her toothbrush is gone and so is the nice moisturiser that she always accuses me of nicking.
05:20You do, do you?
05:29Have you split up?
05:34We're just having some time apart.
05:36But you've not split up.
05:41I don't know.
05:43Maybe.
05:45Why?
05:46Is it because I'm all?
05:48Your mobile coffee shop is here, and don't worry, it's not from Roy's.
05:53Did you know Carla had moved out?
05:56Yeah.
05:58And I worry.
06:00It's my fault.
06:02Whatever you think, I didn't want this to happen.
06:05Maybe you could talk to her.
06:06I don't think that's a good idea.
06:09No, it definitely isn't.
06:11Just want you to be happy, Lise.
06:13I don't know if I'll cry from that, aren't I?
06:18Excuse me.
06:25It's that Prosecco?
06:27Yeah.
06:28Yeah, it's a cheap one from Costop.
06:30I recognise the taste.
06:31Well, I haven't taken over the bar and restaurant, so I'll make sure we do a better job next time.
06:35Well, you can get good deals on nicer brands, you know, and I'd be happy to share that information.
06:41And maybe you could do a bit of a promo for Speed Dial in return.
06:45Let's talk.
06:46Oh?
06:46Women in business, watch and learn.
06:49Some of us are women in business.
06:52Excuse me.
06:52I used to run my own cosmetics firm, I love you, know.
06:55Oh, did you?
06:56Yes.
06:57What happened?
06:58I don't know.
06:59I just got bored.
07:00It's a fancy bit of a change, you know.
07:02Why doesn't that surprise me?
07:04No, I don't want to be pinned down, you know.
07:06I'm a bit of a free spirit.
07:09Is that a free spirit or a freeloader?
07:11Afternoon, everyone.
07:12All right, sir.
07:13How are you?
07:14You're a very corporate, sir.
07:16Well, I'm representing Underworld Management.
07:20Are you Underworld Management?
07:23Well, I'm seen as a manager, you know, by the other machinists.
07:27Although, politics is really my thing.
07:29Oh, there she goes.
07:30Did you know I used to be the mayor of Weatherfield?
07:33I did not.
07:34I'm surprised that Debbie didn't ask me to speak today.
07:37She must have forgotten.
07:38Yeah.
07:41Hey, she is the star of the show.
07:44Oh, don't.
07:45I'm a bag of nerves.
07:46You'll be brilliant.
07:47Yeah, of course you will with all your experience.
07:50That's a face, a bit of Dutch courage.
07:52Oh, no.
07:52No, I better not.
07:54Do excuse me, ladies.
07:55I've just got to go and prepare myself.
07:58Yeah.
08:01I think she's going to be all right.
08:02And if she's not, we're all here to look after her.
08:07Relax, everybody.
08:09The professional is here.
08:10How you doing?
08:11Fine, thanks.
08:12I meant what I said about taking time off.
08:14And why would I need time off?
08:15Well, with the news about the baby, it must be a lot to get your head around.
08:18My head's fine, thank you.
08:19And the reason I didn't tell you straight away is because I don't want wrapping in cotton wool.
08:22Now, pass us that salad bowl it needs filling.
08:23It was two ham salad balms.
08:29Oh.
08:29He's tuna.
08:30I'm tuna.
08:34Apologies.
08:35Hey.
08:36My head's fine, but clearly someone's, isn't it?
08:38That's the third order he's messed up this morning.
08:40It's not like Roy.
08:42Hey, Roy.
08:43Is everything all right?
08:44Uh.
08:46Your miles away?
08:47Oh, yes.
08:48I admit I'm somewhat distracted.
08:50I shall endeavour to focus.
08:52Anything you want to talk to us about?
08:54No, thank you.
08:55Well, if something's wrong, I want to know.
08:57Nina, there is nothing to be concerned about.
09:00No.
09:01I simply have things on my mind.
09:03There's nothing that a nice walk wouldn't fix.
09:05In fact, now that Shona is here, I might just take my break and do that.
09:11No, we'll call it a D summit or other.
09:12It's a lovely drop.
09:14Yeah.
09:15Hiya, love.
09:16Hey, listen.
09:17How are you feeling?
09:18Oh, yeah, much better, thanks.
09:19What's happened, love?
09:20Oh, I had a hypo.
09:22Ah, sorry to hear that.
09:23Ah, me and Todd were worried about you, you know.
09:25He can't be that worried.
09:26We were supposed to meet this morning.
09:28He's off gallivanting in London.
09:29Ah, well, he'd done.
09:30Look, he'd forgot he'd arranged it, to be honest.
09:32No, I don't mind.
09:33Well, look, he wanted to stay, to be honest.
09:35It was me who told him he needed a break.
09:37He's been so stressed, you know, with all that George stuff and all that.
09:41He said he should go, have some fun, let off some steam.
09:44No, I don't blame you.
09:45You do right.
09:46I'm glad he's got you looking out for him.
09:50You might remember the lady with over 4,000 dog collars.
09:54Oh, yes, haven't we?
09:55It's not good for your compost.
09:57It's not going to add anything.
09:58It's only a thin dog food sip.
09:59Wintry showers, good at the kitchen, April.
10:01It was once we came as I was taking yet another cutting from my feet.
10:11Do you know, there's not one political spiel here.
10:14It's a business event, sir.
10:16Yeah, well, as mayor of Webberfield, I've spoken at many events like this.
10:21I had an entertainment do like this.
10:23Purveyor of the pizzazz, that's me.
10:27Pregnant.
10:27God, she doesn't burst into soil.
10:29Afternoon, ladies.
10:30Afternoon.
10:31Uh, Deb.
10:35What?
10:36I'm sorry, just, I really need those login details, like, now.
10:39I need to pay the mixologist for a start.
10:41They're in my notebook, in my office, left-hand drawer, inside a jiffy bag.
10:45Cheers.
10:45Sorry for interrupting.
10:46And don't be stressed, OK?
10:48You're going to be great.
10:54Hiya.
10:54You OK?
10:55It's cool.
10:55Good afternoon, ladies.
10:57And welcome to the fourth annual Weatherfield West Women in Business Conference.
11:07My name is Marianne, and I run a company that promotes women in the workplace.
11:14Hooray!
11:15Today, I will be introducing a fabulous array of speakers just for you.
11:21So without further ado, here's our first speaker, Fiona.
11:24Oh, yes, she may love this.
11:30Welcome home.
11:31Welcome home, darling.
11:33Thanks.
11:34Right, now we have got all your favourite snacks, OK?
11:38Chilli crisps.
11:39Yeah, I'm all right for now, thanks.
11:40Are you sure?
11:41OK, listen, you don't have to have anything if you don't want to.
11:43I'm going to put it all away again.
11:44Now, perhaps you just want to, um, put your feet up on the, uh, sofa.
11:48Fluffy blanket.
11:51Yeah.
11:51Look, I've just put the kettle on.
11:53Bet you're desperate for a proper brew, aren't you?
11:55Yeah, I really am.
11:57Now, are you sure you don't want to have a little lie down?
12:00Dad, I've done enough lying down the past few weeks.
12:03Understood.
12:04Just want to get back to normal.
12:06You know, darling, that is such a relief to hear.
12:09Because I was telling Bernie just how you were helping someone.
12:11She was amazing.
12:13And I'm so pleased that, say, you're not giving up wanting to be a paramedic.
12:17I didn't say that.
12:18Well, I know, honey, but you said you wanted to get back to normal.
12:21Well, yeah.
12:22Yeah, being back at home normal.
12:25You know, with people treating me normally, not throwing blankets at me.
12:30Honey.
12:31Honey.
12:37You see that?
12:39I mean, she's in the house in less than two minutes and I managed to mess things up.
12:42Do you want me to go and have a word with her?
12:43Honey, if anyone needs to do that, it's me.
12:46Listen, once you get to the hotel, I know you want to support Debbie.
12:49Are you sure?
12:50Because I can stay.
12:51No.
12:51This is my bad.
12:53Whatever that means.
12:56I'm just going to have to fix it.
13:02I'm just going to have to fix it.
13:12Sorry, I'm going to take a moment to thank some of our sponsors.
13:15Preston's Petals for all your floral fancies.
13:18Yes, you do wait.
13:19Following Tracy's instructions, Preston's Petals for all your floral fancies.
13:23Be in the market together.
13:25Where is it now?
13:26And all the catering's been free to see of the Chariot Square Hotel.
13:43And now, for our next speaker.
13:46A businesswoman who I admire greatly.
13:49Who in fact owns this very hotel.
13:51Well, so please put your hands together and welcome a Weatherfield West Businesswoman of
13:58the Year, Miss Debbie Webster.
14:07Ladies, and what a relief it is to have no gentlemen here.
14:13As a woman who has dedicated her life to building businesses, there's a few things I've learnt.
14:21And I'd like to share them with you.
14:25Firstly...
14:29Erm...
14:30Firstly...
14:35Oh...
14:36Erm...
14:38Just hang on a minute...
14:42Firstly...
14:50Erm...
14:51It's my passport.
14:54Should I go over?
14:55Maybe I should take care of that.
14:57No, no.
14:58Just give her a minute.
14:59There.
15:00I've been diagnosed with young onset dementia, by the way.
15:01Although, to be fair, I could never remember my passcode at the best of time, so...
15:07I wasn't going to talk about this today.
15:08But you know what, maybe I should...
15:09and this illness is certainly going to test...
15:14I've been diagnosed with young-onset dementia, by the way.
15:21Although, to be fair, I could never remember my passcodes at the best of times, so...
15:26I wasn't going to talk about this today, but you know what? Maybe I should.
15:34Because this illness is certainly going to test all the business skills I've learnt over the years.
15:39And I've had many strings to me, though.
15:45Before I moved into property, I was a hairdresser.
15:49Oh, I just remembered now what I wanted to tell you, yeah.
15:53So, first on my list, number one.
15:57Never underestimate the power of a good hairdo.
16:00When I walk into a meeting, I want to feel sharp, confident, in control.
16:11And I think you'll find this hair, my attire, conveys just that.
16:15I've no idea what number two was, but with hair like this, who cares?
16:21So, here I am, a woman in business, with dementia.
16:27Now, that was a shock.
16:32I had to sit down and take the weight off my false eyelashes for a while with that news.
16:38But I have never been afraid of a challenge.
16:42And life, just like business, it's going to keep throwing us these curveballs.
16:49Yeah?
16:50But it's how we adapt, how we cope with them, that defines who we are.
17:00I'm adapting.
17:02I've got strategies in place.
17:06Methods to help me remember things.
17:10Breathing to help me focus.
17:13Eh?
17:13And I exercise now.
17:16Who'd have thought that, eh?
17:17Me at the gym.
17:18The only spandex they ever wore before, that was them.
17:22Hold it all in knickers on a night out.
17:25Mary's laughing, she knows what I'm on about.
17:31So, if you were to ask me today, Debbie, how are you?
17:35I'd say, yeah.
17:37I'm great, me.
17:37I'm tickety-boo.
17:40I've got a job I love, and I'm still working.
17:44And I'm getting married soon.
17:46Yeah?
17:47Finally.
17:48To a wonderful man.
17:53Yeah.
17:56Yes, her life's good.
18:02But I'm not daft.
18:03I know it's going to get really hard.
18:12I know what's coming.
18:16Because this is a disease of losing things.
18:23First your purse, then the ability to remember appointments.
18:28It's somebody's name you've known for years.
18:34And then eventually I'm going to lose all this.
18:38Everything I've built up from now.
18:39But do you know what it's made me realise, more than anything?
18:52I'm going to lose my connection.
18:54To all the people that I love.
19:01My friends.
19:04Some of them are here today, and I've known them for years.
19:07Sally.
19:07Clendor.
19:10Leanne.
19:12We fight like cat and dog, but we love each other, really.
19:18All my family.
19:19My husband.
19:22And then I'll lose me.
19:29I'll lose myself.
19:31But that is not yet.
19:37Oh, no.
19:39And I am going to cling on to all those moments of triumph, joy and happiness I can
19:50before this god-awful disease takes over.
19:52And when it does, I will face it head on.
19:57Like the sassy businesswoman I am.
19:59Because you know why?
20:03I know who I am today.
20:04Oh, yes.
20:06I am Debbie Webster.
20:10I'm sharp, confident, in control.
20:14And I will not go down without a fight.
20:29So much's up with rides.
20:38He said it was nothing to worry about.
20:40Yeah, well, he would, wouldn't he?
20:41He'd rather deflect than talk about himself.
20:43Eh, he's not the only one.
20:45Well, what if it's serious?
20:48A health issue?
20:49I don't think it is.
20:51Well, has he had anything in the post?
20:53Well, come to think of it, he was a bit tense this morning after he opened it.
20:57Right, well, we need to check.
20:59What do you mean?
21:00Like, open his post?
21:01Yeah.
21:02We can't do that.
21:03Why not?
21:04He'll go mad.
21:05Well, what's that saying?
21:06It's better to ask for forgiveness than permission.
21:09Shona, no.
21:11Nina, customer.
21:12Yeah, 3 p.m. works for me.
21:18That's fine, I'll see you tomorrow.
21:20Okay.
21:24Hi.
21:26Go and see two flats tomorrow.
21:29So, hopefully, I'll be able to get my stuff soon.
21:34Fast work?
21:36Well, I need somewhere to live.
21:37Can't we just talk?
21:43We've done a lot of talking, Lisa.
21:51But I love you.
21:55Yeah, it looked like it.
21:59When you were putting the tree up with Becky, I saw you.
22:02Very cute.
22:03You know the situation, which is what makes this all so hard.
22:09But I can't watch you fight yourself anymore, okay?
22:13And I can't let you break my heart.
22:15So, you're breaking mine.
22:21Maybe we're breaking each other's.
22:26I won't be in touch if I'm lost all.
22:28Oh, you've barely had me in bits.
22:35We've seen mascara.
22:37If I wore mascara, which I don't need with these lashes,
22:41it would be running too.
22:43I can't believe I missed it.
22:45It really was a beautiful sponge.
22:48Can you give us a potted version?
22:50You don't expect me to remember it, do you?
22:52She talked about her diagnosis.
22:54Hey, good for you, Kate.
22:57Yeah, well, it wasn't planned, but I'm not sorry.
23:00In fact, I feel quite powerful.
23:02Hey, you should be.
23:03Ladies, allow me to introduce you to...
23:06Hey!
23:08Alfredo.
23:09Now, there's a name I can't forget.
23:11How are you doing, Chuckie, eh?
23:12I'm grand, thanks, Deb.
23:13He's looking sharp as ever.
23:15I know.
23:17This is our master mixologist, everyone.
23:20And he will cater to your every request.
23:22Well, then, then.
23:28Shona, put them back.
23:29Don't you want to know what's wrong?
23:30Yeah, but not by reading his letters.
23:32What?
23:32Could be important.
23:33Yeah, well, they can't be from the hospital
23:34because the NHS letters are always blue.
23:36All right, well, maybe it's something else.
23:37Hey, hey, hey, pink envelope,
23:40handwritten screams woman.
23:42Shona, please just put them back.
23:43I really don't feel comfortable with this.
23:45Alice?
23:46Alice?
23:47How dare you?
23:49Roy, I tried to stop her.
23:50We were worried about you.
23:51How dare you invade my privacy like this?
23:57Hi, Ralph.
23:59Did you get the account details?
24:00I did, thanks.
24:01Put everything back.
24:02Great, and you've paid all the suppliers.
24:04Yep, doing it now.
24:05So, I heard that your speech went down a storm.
24:08Yeah.
24:09Yeah, it did, actually.
24:10See?
24:11Knew you'd rinse it.
24:12Come on.
24:12And I booked a date for the wedding.
24:15March the 5th.
24:17Can't wait.
24:18Good.
24:20Because I want you to give me away.
24:23Me?
24:25Er, what about Kevin?
24:27I'd like you both to walk me down the aisle.
24:29Er, you think he'd go for it?
24:32Well, he'll have to.
24:34You mean the world to me, Carl.
24:37Really?
24:38Yeah.
24:40More than you'll ever know.
24:42Hey.
24:43Oh, did Todd not go to London after all?
24:47What do you mean?
24:48Well, I've just seen someone in your flat.
24:50The shutters were moving.
24:51All right.
24:52Did you, um, see who it was?
24:53No.
24:54I buzzed up, but no-one answered.
24:57I assumed it was Todd, but why wouldn't he answer?
24:59And why were the shutters closed?
25:01Yeah, what if someone's broken in?
25:02Trying to hate what they're doing.
25:03I didn't even think of that.
25:05Well, let's find out.
25:06Come on.
25:06Er, no, it's all right.
25:07Listen, I'll go.
25:08Yeah, when you lead back up.
25:09I can handle his shutters.
25:10Mate, you're not walking in there on your own.
25:11Er, well, listen, er, let me go first off, OK?
25:28So, I always say, OK, a woman is like a teabag.
25:35Do you always say that?
25:36Yeah, you squeeze her dry and then chuck her in the bin.
25:39I know the feeling.
25:39Oh, no, you never know how strong she is until you put her in hot water.
25:46Oh, I used to say inspirational stuff like that in my speeches, you know, when I was
25:52very high-open politics.
25:53All right, Rachel Reeves, have a night off.
25:55I very nearly became an MP in Andalusia, and I've never touched sangria since.
26:07Who ordered a long, slow lick-up-the-lake?
26:10Oh, sweetheart.
26:11You know, I'm a bit disappointed, it's only a drink.
26:15Excuse me, is my ding-a-ling-a-tingler on its way?
26:18Or is that just the way that you're sitting?
26:19No, no, no, no, no.
26:25Listen, listen, listen.
26:27You, young lady.
26:29Oh, I like that, young.
26:31Are you sure you've not got dementia?
26:34You, young lady.
26:35Yeah.
26:36You are one of the strongest, right?
26:38So, here is to Debbie.
26:41Aw.
26:42Aw.
26:42To Debbie!
26:46Hey, Glenda, I think Alfredo's taking a bit of a shine to you, you know.
26:50I wondered why he kept looking over.
26:53Oh.
26:53Can he see this far over there?
26:55I thought he failed his driving test because he couldn't see that registration plate.
26:59Oh.
27:00Oh.
27:01Right, I'm going to go and powder my nose.
27:03Excuse me.
27:05I hope that's not a euphemism.
27:06Hey, I am so sorry that I missed your speech, hon, but I'm really chuffed that you've, you
27:13know, come out.
27:14Oh, hey, I have, haven't I?
27:16I'll be on a float next at Dementia Pride.
27:20The face of vascular whatnots.
27:24I'll have to give him a ring.
27:26See you.
27:27All right.
27:28I'm afraid of.
27:33Stay clear of Glenda.
27:35Why?
27:35She's a bit whiffy around the pits.
27:39She don't believe in Washington.
27:40Sorry?
27:41Eight years in Holloway.
27:42You'd think she'd know how to use a bar of soap, wouldn't she?
27:44What the hell do you think you're playing at?
27:57You idiot.
27:58Look, we'll have to pretend we've been burgled.
28:01Take that.
28:01Get in the bedroom now and don't make a sound.
28:03I'm so sorry.
28:04Just get in there.
28:05Quick.
28:06Uh, yeah, you can come up, guys.
28:11Of course, clear.
28:12There's no one here.
28:13It's a gross invasion of privacy, interfering with someone's correspondence.
28:23Well, there's something wrong.
28:25Yeah, what is the matter, Roy?
28:26I mean, you can tell us.
28:27Well, Nina knows something of this.
28:33I've formed a strong bond with a woman I've been corresponding with.
28:39It's Alice.
28:40Alice, she wrote to thank me for communicating with her son, and we continued to exchange letters.
28:50And we discovered that we had certain things in common.
28:55And then, today, a further letter arrived.
29:01Is she dead?
29:02She's not died, I say.
29:03No, no, no, no.
29:05The further letter has distinctly romantic undertones.
29:14And it's completely knocked me for six.
29:19Right, so come on, Debs.
29:20Is the wedding booked or what?
29:23Well, I am getting there, Bernardina Weiner.
29:25Yes, I am getting there.
29:27Now, I've just booked myself a trendy young wedding planner.
29:32A bit wet around the gills, but I'm hoping with youth,
29:35comes, you know, funky ideas.
29:39Because, as you know, funky, my middle name.
29:43You know, I've always longed to get married.
29:46You know, a big meringue dress and a big meringue cake thingy.
29:50You could just cut out the middle, man, and just make a big load of meringue.
29:54Might be more realistic, you know.
29:56Yeah, I wonder if I've left it too late.
29:58No, no, never say never.
30:00You never know.
30:01Mr. Wright might be just round the corner.
30:03Oh, behind a bar, making cocktails.
30:09He seems to have stopped looking over now.
30:11Oh, has he?
30:13Go and ask him out, Glenda.
30:14Go on, I dare you.
30:17Oh, go on, what have you got to lose?
30:18Do I want my dignity?
30:20You'd have to locate it first.
30:21Well, if you don't, I will.
30:24Oh, hashtag don't tell Timothy.
30:26Don't tell the blender.
30:28OK, then.
30:29Yes!
30:30Oh!
30:32Oh!
30:33Go on, come on, come on, come on.
30:36Go on, she's got it.
30:37Go on!
30:39She's got it.
30:41Yeah, so I think they've taken their laptop and a few other bits and buzz.
30:45They haven't made much of a mess, have they?
30:47Hmm.
30:48They didn't, like, do your ironing and put a quiche in the oven, did they?
30:50You must have scared them off, Summer, when you buzzed up.
30:54Do you think?
30:55Yeah, otherwise they'd have taken more.
30:58Actually, the video doorbell would have caught them in action, Charlie.
31:01Oh, do you know what?
31:02It's not working, that.
31:03How'd they get in there?
31:04I mean, the front door one kicked in or out, was it?
31:06Yeah, it's true, that.
31:08Do you know what?
31:09I'm going to murder Todd.
31:11I bet he's left the front door open again.
31:13He leaves the door open?
31:14Well, sometimes he, um...
31:15Look, sometimes he likes to drink in the middle of the afternoon,
31:17so let's just say, uh...
31:19I bet he wasn't in the right mind when he locked up for London.
31:22He doesn't sound like Todd.
31:24You'd be surprised, Summer.
31:26Anyway, listen, guys, I can take it from here,
31:28so I've got to go to the police station myself,
31:29so, listen, I'll see you out.
31:30Thanks ever so much.
31:31Great neighbours.
31:32Really appreciate it.
31:44All the way, present.
31:46You what?
31:47She told the mixologist I've just been released from Holloway.
31:51Did you?
31:52Hang on, which one are we talking about?
31:54Also, Tina.
31:55Ah, ah, ah, ah.
31:57Call me Tina.
31:58If anyone really needs a washer round here, it's you.
32:00Ah, sorry.
32:01Do you know, I don't mind Chrissie, but I'm not handling Tina.
32:03Come on, have a nice.
32:04Ah, so here, have one on me.
32:06Oh!
32:07Oh!
32:11Oh!
32:14What's happening left?
32:15Oh, I'm no slash.
32:17You know Joan Rivers.
32:18Oi!
32:19Right, ladies.
32:21Stop lowering the tone in my hotel.
32:24Fuck a-watching.
32:25I'm sorry, Debbie, but it's her.
32:27She told the barman I refused to wash.
32:30What'd you say that for?
32:31She said I stand.
32:35Right, come on, ladies.
32:37Let's ship shape. We're off.
32:39Oh, wow, where are we going?
32:40Back to mine.
32:41I'm a bit of a celebrity in here, aren't I?
32:43And we need a bit of privacy, so we'll call off
32:46and get some alcoholic beverages.
32:48My treat.
32:48Oh, Mary, can you pass me green mat?
32:53Damn, I have my eye on this.
32:54Right, come on, ladies.
32:56You know what we're going to do?
32:57Hold each other up tonight.
32:58Yeah, we're not going for the jugular.
33:00No, follow thy leader.
33:04You know what?
33:05You just need to be transparent with her.
33:08Tell her that you need to do some expectation management.
33:12And if she can't cope with just being buddies,
33:14then you just say, I'm sorry, but you've got to move on.
33:18I'm not sure I can be that articulate.
33:21Oh, you can.
33:21No, but the pen enters my hand and my brain goes into a whir.
33:28Right, well, you know what I think?
33:30I think we could all do with a brew,
33:31so I'm going to go make us one.
33:33And I'm going to get a pad and a pen,
33:35and together we're going to write to Alice, yeah?
33:38Oh, good thinking, Neens.
33:39And there's no taxis, because there's no taxis.
33:43There's normally loads of them going up and down here.
33:45No, I'm on the streetcar's app.
33:47It's going to be half an hour.
33:48Oh, you're joking.
33:49Sounds like a timmering.
33:50Oh, stuff that for a game of soldiers.
33:53I cannot clicky-clack one step further in these heels.
33:56My bunions are throbbing.
33:57Right, someone will have to push me.
33:59Sally said, I remember you in miniskirts on PVC Raymax.
34:19I'm Danielle on your love bike.
34:21Oh, Sally, don't you talk to me about common.
34:24Oh, I'm misremembering.
34:26I'm a mad calf now.
34:27Right, come on, ladies.
34:30Right, come on.
34:31Go on, Bernie.
34:32Don't worry.
34:34No, no, no, no, no, no.
34:38Oops.
34:39Ecky bump.
34:40Uh-oh.
34:57I don't think there's much damage, mate.
35:03You all rick a booze.
35:05Oh, that's my signature scent.
35:07I mean, a lot of people mistake it for whiskey, but oh, no, it's my eau de printemps.
35:12Yeah, there's no law against having a good time, is there?
35:16In the middle of the day.
35:17Maybe I should do you all for disorderly conduct.
35:19Oh, as former man, there is nothing disorderly about me.
35:26No, me.
35:27Mia Copa, officer, this is all down to yours truly, yes.
35:34Debbie Webster.
35:36Weatherfield West businesswoman of the year.
35:39Two years running.
35:40Would have been three.
35:42Only, uh, there was vote rigging by that sunbed place on the parade.
35:47Now is the winter of our discount time.
35:51You see, the thing is, officer, I've been going through a lot lately, yes.
36:03And you don't need to know the whys and the what-fors and the whereabouts,
36:08but my good friends here, the usual suspects...
36:13LAUGHTER
36:14They've been trying to cheer me up a bit.
36:22And as former mayor, I can confirm that affirmatively.
36:27LAUGHTER
36:27I wasn't mayor.
36:29I can confirm that too.
36:30And I could have been mayor, but I haven't the time.
36:33Not with my social commitments.
36:35LAUGHTER
36:36Sorry.
36:42Before I tell you what's wrong with me,
36:45and if you don't believe me,
36:47you can ring the health centre on Rosamund Street.
36:50Ask for Dr Sue Gaddis, or Sue, as I like to call her.
36:53We're on first name terms.
36:54They're like that.
36:55Aw, yeah, she's lovely Sue.
36:57Do you know her?
36:58Is it, Sue?
36:59I didn't know that.
37:00I did.
37:01So, let's just call what I have.
37:04Well, what would you call it, girls?
37:06You'd call... I'll tell you what you'd call it.
37:07You'd call it a... a medical condition.
37:10Oh, go on, then. What's wrong with you?
37:11I've got my feet of killer me-itis,
37:13and I can't get back to this.
37:14LAUGHTER
37:15LAUGHTER
37:15Very funny.
37:18I couldn't...
37:18Admire your brass neck.
37:20Go on with you before I change my mind.
37:21Go on.
37:22CHEERING
37:23Hey, it is a medical condition, you know.
37:27Poorly tutsies.
37:28My name's Freddy Krueger.
37:29Hi, hi.
37:30See you, Freddy.
37:31See you, Freddy.
37:31Hi, Freddy.
37:33Not all disabilities are visible, you know.
37:35Hey, I'm the face of blisters, me.
37:37LAUGHTER
37:38I'm going to tell you now.
37:40You should have told him you've got dementia.
37:42Why?
37:43I'm firing on all cylinders, me, today.
37:45LAUGHTER
37:46I am so, so sorry.
37:59How would we have explained it to Gary and Summer
38:01if they'd found you in the flat?
38:03Well, they didn't, Twig, did they?
38:04And that makes it all right, then?
38:05Does it?
38:06Hmm?
38:07No.
38:07I'll tell you what, no, it doesn't, Todd.
38:10I'm sorry.
38:10I don't know what else you want me to say.
38:13I've got a pint that needs finishing.
38:16Down the pub.
38:18No more slip-ups.
38:19OK?
38:20You're not even supposed to be here.
38:35All right?
38:38Not really.
38:39Honey, I'm sorry about earlier, you know, my mouth ran away with me again,
38:47but, you know, the last thing I ever want to do is upset you, I promise.
38:50I know.
38:51But I did, though, didn't I?
38:53Well...
38:53No, I did.
38:55I...
38:56I know, cos I just want everything to be back to normal,
39:00but I know it's not going to happen overnight.
39:02You know, I was really worried about coming home.
39:07Oh, no, honey, no, please don't say that.
39:10No, no, I mean, just...
39:12You know, everyone expects me to be the same old Asha.
39:17I smell for everyone.
39:20A lot of things have changed.
39:21You know, I'm going back to uni, well, I just...
39:25I don't know if I'm ready to go back to being a paramedic yet.
39:34If ever.
39:38Dad, I'm sorry.
39:39Hey.
39:41Come on.
39:41I know me own son's a copper,
39:50but why do I always get an overwhelming feeling?
39:54I want to slap him when I see him in the world.
39:56Oh, hold on.
39:57Oh, hold on.
39:58You're a child of the 80s, like me.
40:02They were more foe than friend back then.
40:04Hey, I thought you were just going to come straight out of it
40:06and wave your diagnosis in his face.
40:08I thought the same thing.
40:10We're like twins, Lily.
40:12I'm getting very cheeky in my mature years.
40:16Like he believed you in the first place.
40:17Oh, exactly.
40:18I am far too sexy to have a life-limiting condition.
40:22Really?
40:22Are you allergic to strawberries?
40:24Er, no.
40:25Neither am I.
40:27Is there a corkscrew in here?
40:28Cos this one's got a cork in it.
40:30Oi, move away from there, nosy for nosies.
40:32I've got one here.
40:33Hey, I know I sound like a scratch record,
40:36but so proud of you, Debbie.
40:39Oh, yeah.
40:40Oh, give over.
40:41I won't be able to get me head through me turquoise door at this point.
40:47Hey, do you have any regrets in life?
40:50I'm not dead yet.
40:51I know, I know.
40:53And I'll put do you?
40:54Er, let's see.
40:56Oh, yes.
40:56I very much regret dyeing me hair blue for a Manchester City match in 1989.
41:02It was pre-bleached, so my old perm went green.
41:07Like your dog!
41:13And do you regret not having kids?
41:15I mean, I don't, but, you know, a lot of women do.
41:22Oh, life's too short to have regrets.
41:24Yeah, erm, you've just got to make it do, haven't you?
41:27With the cards you dealt.
41:29I'm sure we all wish we'd done more with our lives.
41:32Oh, you've done loads with yours, Sally.
41:34How bad?
41:35Yeah, he'll keep you faster in.
41:37That's really impressive.
41:38Got more patience than I have.
41:39Or a screw loose.
41:42You've only mentioned 78 times tonight that you used to be Lord Man.
41:4779, actually.
41:48You see, were each and every one of us amazing in our own right to all us wonderful women?
42:02Aw.
42:03Yeah.
42:04Fabulous women.
42:05Cheers.
42:07Nice one, Dems.
42:08Cheers, Mary.
42:09Clearly.
42:11Hey, you should convince your mum to come to Spain.
42:13I see if she likes it, especially now she and Carla are taking a nosedive.
42:19Yeah, I know, but that might only be temporary.
42:22Might do her good.
42:24I don't want to get involved.
42:26You're our daughter, you are involved.
42:29And think about it, it might, you know, be exactly the tonic she needs to mend a broken heart.
42:35Walks on the beach, midnight swims.
42:37Or best of all...
42:40Tapas?
42:41Yeah.
42:41Who?
42:42Us three?
42:44Back together?
42:45That wouldn't be a happy family.
42:49No, she's Sparko on the sofa, bless her.
42:53Yeah, the others have gone, so, er...
42:55I'm just finishing the tidying up, and then...
42:57And then I'll be back.
43:01So it was a good afternoon, then?
43:02Oh, yeah.
43:04Yeah, it was lovely.
43:07She's amazing, you know.
