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.
00:38Top of the list...
00:42Oh, damn it.
00:44Why don't you just read it? No-one will mind.
00:47It's two milky coffees.
00:50I 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. My mistake, I'll rectify.
00:58Fine.
01:00I 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.
01:09You do look good in the dress.
01:12Very funny.
01:14You're right. I'll read it.
01:17That takes the pressure off.
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.
01:31And after I've finished this coffee, I'm off to register the wedding.
01:36So it's a busy, busy day.
01:38And you're totally on top of it.
01:40Come and find me at the hotel later, yeah? We'll sort it then.
01:44And just think, once you give me those login details, there'll be one less thing for you to worry about.
01:54What time are you due on site?
01:56Er...
01:58About an hour.
02:00You gonna be all right on your own?
02:02I'm gonna go and see. Somewhere anyway.
02:05Is that wise?
02:07She collapsed yesterday. I need to see how she is.
02:10Yeah, I know, but she's gonna ask what happened, isn't she?
02:14And I will tell her the same thing I told the doctor.
02:18But what if she don't believe you?
02:20Why wouldn't she?
02:22Well, because she's got Billy in her ear, hasn't she? And he hates me.
02:25Not this again.
02:26Look, I don't want people jumping to the wrong conclusions.
02:31Not the right conclusions.
02:35Sorry?
02:36Nothing.
02:37Look, you know, it was an accident.
02:42We don't need to go through all that again, do we?
02:45No.
02:46Of course not.
02:49Look...
02:50Couldn't you just...
02:52You know...
02:53Lay low for a couple of days.
02:55Until the wound calms down.
02:57Hide, you mean?
02:58Well, just...
02:59I don't know.
03:00Just say you've gone to London to visit your old flatmates.
03:03Is that really necessary?
03:04We don't need the gossip.
03:07It'll only undermine us.
03:11Please, babe.
03:14I just...
03:15You know...
03:16I know this is shaking you up.
03:18As it has me.
03:19And I just want to be able to help you recover.
03:22You know?
03:23Without people sticking their oar in.
03:26Okay, then.
03:28Babe.
03:32And, er...
03:33I'll get you a takeaway for tea.
03:35It's a thanks, eh?
03:37So much fatty and greasy.
03:39Yeah?
03:40Just this once.
03:41All right.
03:42See you later.
03:44All right.
03:45See you later.
03:50All right.
03:51So, I've got all her favourite things.
03:53Okay?
03:54Let's just, er...
03:55Hope that she's hungry.
03:56Let's, er...
03:58Honey, what if she's not?
03:59Because I don't really want us to feel, like, overwhelmed.
04:01What?
04:02By 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.
04:11No, it's very good.
04:12And, er...
04:14You're welcome.
04:15Right, and I have got her favourite furry blanket.
04:18So she can, er...
04:19You know, snuggle if she really wants.
04:21God damn it!
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.
04:29Honey, but honey, I just want everything to be...
04:32perfect.
04:33Well, when has everything been perfect in this, Al?
04:35Yeah, you want her to feel at home, don't you?
04:38Help me.
04:39Okay, okay.
04:40All right.
04:41Now, big deep breaths, okay?
04:43Yeah.
04:44In through the nose.
04:45Out through the mouth.
04:46In through the nose.
04:48Out through the mouth.
04:49Oh, good.
04:50In through the nose.
04:52Out through the mouth.
04:53I just need to put the sandy cantaboy on her bed.
04:54So let's just keep it together.
04:56Keep it together.
04:57Keep it together.
04:58Keep it together.
04:59Keep it together.
05:00Morning, love.
05:11Carla's moved out, hasn't she?
05:14And don't lie, her toothbrush has gone
05:17and so has the nice moisturiser that she always accuses me of nicking.
05:20You do, do you?
05:21Have you split up?
05:33We're just having some time apart.
05:36But you've not split up?
05:40I don't know.
05:43Maybe.
05:45Why?
05:46Is it because of mum?
05:48Your mobile coffee shop is here
05:50and don't worry, it's not from Roy's.
05:53Did you know Carla had moved out?
05:55Yeah.
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.
06:11I just want you to be happy, Lise.
06:15I'm a far cry from that, aren't I?
06:18Excuse me.
06:20It'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,
06:33so I'll make sure we do a better job next time.
06:35Well, you can get good deals on nicer brands, you know,
06:38and I'd be happy to share that information.
06:40And maybe you could do a bit of a promo for Speed Dial in return.
06:45Let's talk.
06:46Oh, women in business, watch and learn.
06:49Some of us are women in business.
06:51Eh, excuse me, I used to run my own cosmetics firm, I love you know.
06:55Oh, did you?
06:56Yes.
06:56What happened?
06:58I don't know.
06:59I just got bored.
07:00I just fancy a 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.
07:12Oh, all right, sir.
07:13How are you?
07:14You're a very corporate fellow.
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.
07:38Oh, yeah.
07:40Hey, 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 she will with all your experience.
07:50Class affairs, bit Dutch courage.
07:51Oh, no.
07:52No, I better not.
07:54Do excuse me, ladies.
07:55I've just got to go and prepare myself.
07:58Yeah.
08:00I hope she's going to be all right.
08:02And if she's not, we're all here to look after her.
08:07Relax, everybody.
08:08The professional is here.
08:10How are 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 barns.
08:28Oh, he's Tuna.
08:30I'm Tuna.
08:33Apologies.
08:35Hi.
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?
08:43Are you 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.
09:01I 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.
09:12It's a lovely drop.
09:14Yeah.
09:14Hiya, love.
09:16Hey, listen.
09:17How are you feeling?
09:18Oh, yeah.
09:18Much better, thanks.
09:19What's happened, love?
09:20Oh, I had a hypo.
09:22Ah, sorry to hear that.
09:23Me 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, um, look, 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.
09:35Stick with me, who told him he needed a break.
09:37He's been so stressed, you know, with all that George stuff and all that.
09:40He said he should go, have some fun, let her 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 drop collars.
09:54Oh, yes, how many of you forget?
09:56It's not good for your compost.
09:57It's not that hard, any things, any little thing, no food sip.
09:59Wintry showers, good vacation, it all.
10:01It was once we came, as I was taking yet another cutting from my feet.
10:11There's not one political speaker here.
10:14It's a business event, sir.
10:16Yeah, and as mayor of Weatherfield, I've spoken at many events like this.
10:20I don't have to take a deal like this.
10:22Purveyor of the pizazz, that's me.
10:26Pray God, she doesn't burst into sorrow.
10:29Afternoon, ladies.
10:30Afternoon.
10:34Deb.
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.
10:44Sorry for interrupting.
10:45And don't be stressed, OK?
10:48It's going to be great.
10:48Hiya, are you OK?
10:55It's cool.
10:56Good afternoon, ladies.
10:58And 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.
11:13Hooray!
11:14Today, I will be introducing a fabulous array of speakers, just for you.
11:20So without further ado, here's our first speaker, Fiona.
11:27Oh, here she is.
11:29Welcome home.
11:31Welcome home, darling.
11:32Thanks.
11:33Right, now we have got all your favourite snacks, OK?
11:37Chilli crisps?
11:38Yeah, 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.
11:42I'm going to put it all away again.
11:44Now, perhaps you just want to, um, put your feet up on the sofa.
11:48Fluffy blanket.
11:50Yeah.
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.
11:57Are 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.
12:13I mean, I'm so pleased that 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.
12:24You know, with people treating me normally,
12:28not throwing blankets at me.
12:30Honey, honey.
12:31Honey.
12:32You see that?
12:38I mean, she's in the house in less than two minutes
12:40and I managed to mess things up.
12:42Do you want me to go and have a word with her?
12:43If anyone needs to do that, it's me.
12:46Listen, why don't you get to the hotel?
12:48I 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.
13:02Sorry, I'm late.
13:13Can we take a moment to thank some of our sponsors?
13:15Preston's Petals for all your floral fancies.
13:18What are you doing?
13:19Following Tracy's instructions, Preston's Petals for all your floral fancies.
13:23Be able to walk together.
13:25Where is it now?
13:27And all the catering's been free to see of the Chariot Square Hotel.
13:31And now, for our next speaker, a businesswoman who I admire greatly.
13:49Who in fact owns this very hotel.
13:52So, please put your hands together and welcome a Weatherfield West Businesswoman of the Year,
13:59Miss Debbie Webster.
14:00Ladies, and what a relief it is to have no gentlemen here.
14:13As a woman who has dedicated her life to building businesses,
14:18there's a few things I've learnt, and I'd like to share them with you.
14:26Firstly...
14:27Just hang on a minute.
14:41Firstly...
14:45It's my passcode.
15:07Should I go over?
15:09Maybe I should take care of that.
15:11No, no, just give her a minute.
15:16I'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...
15:24I 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, before I moved into property, I was a hairdresser.
15:49Oh, I've just remembered now what I wanted to tell you, yeah.
15:52So, first on my list, number one.
15:57Never underestimate the power of a good hairdo.
16:02When 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.
16:14I'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.
16:28Now, that was a shock.
16:32I had to sit down and take the weight off my false eyelashes for a while with that news.
16:36But I have never been afraid of a challenge.
16:42And life, just like business, it's going to keep throwing us these curveballs, yeah?
16:51But it's how we adapt.
16:54How 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.
17:11To help me focus.
17:13Eh? And I exercise now.
17:16Oh, who'd have thought that, eh?
17:17Me at the gym.
17:19The only spandex I ever wore before that was them old-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?
17:33I'd say, yeah.
17:37I'm great, me.
17:37I'm tickety-boo.
17:39I've got a job I love.
17:41And I'm still working.
17:44And I'm getting married soon.
17:46Yeah.
17:48Finally.
17:49To a wonderful man.
17:53Yeah.
17:56Yes, her life's good.
17:57But I'm not daft.
18:07I know it's going to get really hard.
18:12I know what's coming.
18:13Because this is a disease of losing things.
18:23First your purse, then the ability to remember appointments.
18:29Somebody's name you've known for years.
18:34And then eventually I'm going to lose all this.
18:36Everything I've built up from nowt.
18:43But...
18:45Do you know what it's made me realise?
18:49More than anything.
18:52I'm going to lose my connection.
18:53To 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.
19:08Glenda.
19:10Leanne.
19:12We fight like cat and dog, but we love each other, really.
19:15All my family.
19:21My husband.
19:25Then I'll lose me.
19:29I'll lose myself.
19:34But that...
19:35is not yet.
19:37Oh, no.
19:39And I...
19:40I'm going to...
19:42I'm going to cling on
19:43to all those moments of...
19:46of...
19:47triumph,
19:48joy and happiness I can
19:50before this god-awful disease takes over.
19:52And when it does,
19:54I will face it head-on.
19:57Like the sassy businesswoman I am.
20:00Because you know why?
20:02I know who I am today.
20:04Oh, yes.
20:06I...
20:07am Debbie Webster.
20:10I'm sharp,
20:11confident,
20:12in control,
20:14and I will not
20:15go down without a fight.
20:36So much's up with Roy.
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,
20:46what's it serious?
20:48A health issue?
20:49I don't think it is.
20:50Well, has he had anything in the post?
20:53Well,
20:54come to think of it,
20:54he was a bit tense this morning
20:56after 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
21:07than permission.
21:09Shona?
21:09No.
21:11Nina, customer.
21:16Yeah, 3pm works for me.
21:18That's fine.
21:18I'll see you tomorrow.
21:20Okay.
21:24Hi.
21:25Go and see two flats tomorrow.
21:27Um,
21:29so hopefully
21:30I'll be able to get my stuff soon.
21:34Fast work?
21:35Well,
21:36I need somewhere to live.
21:41Can't we just talk?
21:43We've done a lot of talking, Lisa.
21:51I love you.
21:55Yeah,
21:56it looked like it.
21:58When you were putting the tree up
22:00with Becky,
22:00I saw you.
22:02Very cute.
22:05You know the situation,
22:06which is what makes this
22:07all so hard.
22:09But I can't watch you
22:10fight yourself anymore
22:12and I can't let you
22:14break my heart.
22:15So,
22:16so you're breaking mine.
22:21Maybe we're breaking each other's.
22:26I won't be in touch
22:27about my stuff.
22:33Oh,
22:34you beg,
22:34you have me,
22:35you bitch.
22:35We've seen mascara.
22:37If I wore mascara,
22:38which I don't need
22:39with these lashes,
22:40it would be running too.
22:42I can't believe I missed it.
22:45It really was
22:46a beautiful speech.
22:48Can you give us
22:48a potted version?
22:50You don't expect me
22:51to remember it,
22:51do you?
22:52She talks about
22:53her diagnosis.
22:55Eh,
22:55good for you,
22:56Kate.
22:57Yeah,
22:57well,
22:57it wasn't planned,
22:58but I'm not sorry.
23:00In fact,
23:00I feel quite powerful.
23:02Yeah,
23:02you should be.

23:29what's wrong?
23:30Yeah,
23:30but not by reading
23:31his letters.
23:32What?
23:32Could be important.
23:33Yeah,
23:33well,
23:33they can't be from the hospital
23:34because the NHS letters
23:35are always blue.
23:36All right,
23:36well,

23:37then.
23:37Hey,

23:44comfortable with this.
23:45Alice?
23:46Alice?
23:47How dare you?
23:49Roy,
23:49I tried to stop her.
23:50We were worried about you.
23:51How dare you
23:52invade my privacy like this?
23:54Give me a look now.
23:57Hi,
23:57Ralph.
23:59Did you get the
23:59account details?
24:00I did,
24:01thanks,

24:02Great,

24:05So,
24:06I heard that your speech
24:07went down a storm.
24:08Yeah,
24:08yeah,
24:09it did actually.
24:10See,
24:10knew you'd rinse it.
24:13And I booked a date
24:14for the wedding,
24:15March the 5th.
24:17Can't wait.
24:18Good.
24:20Because I want you
24:21to give me away.
24:23Me?
24:24Er,
24:25what about Kevin?
24:27I'd like you both
24:28to walk me down the aisle.
24:30You think he'd go for it?
24:32Well,
24:32he'll have to.
24:33You mean the world
24:34to me,
24:35Carl.
24:37Really?
24:38Yeah.
24:39More than you'll ever know.
24:42Hey.
24:44Oh,
24:44did Todd not go to London
24:46after all?
24:47What do you mean?
24:47Well,
24:48I've just seen someone
24:48in your flat.
24:49The shutters were moving.
24:51All right.
24:52Did you,
24:52um,
24:53see who it was?
24:53No.
24:54I buzzed up
24:55and no one answered.
24:57I assumed it was Todd,
24:58but why wouldn't he answer?
24:59And why were the shutters closed?
25:01Yeah,
25:01what if someone's broken, eh?
25:02Trying to hate what they're doing.
25:03I didn't even think of that.
25:05Well,
25:05let's find out.
25:06Come on.
25:06Er,
25:06no,
25:07it's all right.
25:07Listen,
25:07I'll,
25:07I'll go.
25:08Yeah,
25:08when you lead back up.
25:09I can handle me,
25:10sure.
25:10Mate,

25:11on your own.
25:11Er,
25:11well,
25:12listen,
25:12let me go first,
25:13though.
25:13So,
25:29I always say,
25:31okay,
25:31a woman
25:32is like a teabag.
25:35Do you always say that?
25:36Oh,
25:36wow.
25:36Yeah,
25:37you squeeze her dry
25:37and then chuck her in the bin.
25:39I know the feeling.
25:39Oh,
25:40no,
25:41you never know
25:42how strong she is
25:43until you put her
25:45in hot water.
25:46Oh,
25:47I used to say
25:48inspirational stuff
25:50like that
25:50in my speeches,
25:51you know,
25:51when I was very high
25:52open politics.
25:53All right,
25:54Rachel Reeves,

25:59became an MP
26:00in Andalusia
26:02and I've
26:02never touched
26:04sangria since.
26:07Who ordered

26:09slow lick up the left?
26:09Oh,

26:25no.
26:27You,
26:28young lady.
26:29Oh,

26:41Oh,

26:45Hey,
26:46Glenda,
26:46I think Alfredo's
26:48taking a bit of a shine
26:49to you,
26:49you know.
26:50I wondered why
26:51he kept looking over.
26:53Oh,
26:53can he,
26:54can he see this
26:55far over there?
26:55I thought he failed
26:56his driving test
26:57because he couldn't
26:57see that registration
26:58place.
27:00Right,
27:02I'm going to powder
27:02my nose.
27:03Excuse it.
27:03I hope that's not
27:05a euphemism.
27:07I am so sorry
27:08that I missed
27:09your speech,
27:10hon,
27:10but I'm really
27:11chuffed that you've,
27:12you know,

27:24I'll have to give him
27:24a ring.
27:26See you.
27:27All right.
27:27I'm afraid him.
27:33Steer clear of Glenda.
27:35Why?
27:36She's a bit whiffy
27:37around the pits.
27:39She don't believe
27:39in washing.
27:40Sorry?
27:41Eight years in Holloway.
27:42You'd think she'd know
27:43how to use a bar of soap,
27:44couldn't you?
27:55What the hell do you
27:56think you're playing at?
27:57You idiot.
27:58Look,
27:59we'll have to pretend
27:59we've been burgled.
28:00Take that.
28:01Get in the bedroom now
28:02and don't make a sound.
28:03I am so sorry.
28:04Just get in there.
28:05Quick.
28:09Uh,
28:09yeah,
28:10you can come up,
28:10guys.
28:11Call's clear.
28:12There's no one here.
28:19It's a gross
28:19invasion of privacy,
28:21interfering with
28:22someone's correspondence.
28:23Well,
28:24there's something wrong.
28:25Yeah,
28:25what is the matter,
28:26Roy?
28:26I mean,
28:26you can tell us.
28:27well,
28:29Nina knows something
28:30of this.
28:30I have formed a
28:34strong bond
28:36with a woman
28:36I've been corresponding
28:38with.
28:39It's Alice.
28:41She wrote to thank me
28:42for communicating
28:44with her son,
28:44and we
28:46and we
28:46continued to exchange
28:48letters.
28:50And we discovered
28:52that we had
28:53certain things
28:53in common.
28:55And then,
28:55today,
28:58a further letter
29:00arrived.
29:01is she dead?
29:02Is she dead?
29:02Is she dead?
29:02She's not died,
29:03has she?
29:03No,
29:04no,
29:04no,
29:05no.
29:08The further letter
29:09has distinctly
29:11romantic
29:12undertones.
29:13and it's completely
29:16knocked me
29:16for six.
29:18Right,
29:19so come on,
29:20Debs.

29:28booked myself
29:29a trendy
29:30young wedding
29:31planner.

29:44longed to get married.
29:45You know,
29:46big meringue dress
29:46and big meringue
29:47cake thingy.
29:49You could just
29:50cut out the middle,
29:51man,
29:51just make a big
29:52load of meringue.
29:54Might be more
29:54realistic,
29:55you know.
29:56Yeah,
29:56I wonder if I've
29:57left it too late.
29:58Oh,
29:59no,
29:59never say never.
30:00You never know.
30:01Mr. Wright might be
30:02just around the corner.
30:04Or,
30:04behind a bar,
30:06making cocktails.
30:08He seems to have
30:09stopped looking over
30:10now.
30:11Oh,
30:12has he?
30:13Go and ask him out,
30:14Glenda.
30:14Go on,
30:15I dare you.
30:17Oh,
30:17go on,
30:17what have you got to lose?
30:18Do it with my dignity.
30:20You'd have to locate it first.
30:22Well,
30:22if you don't,
30:23I will.
30:23Oh,
30:24hashtag don't tell Timothy.
30:26Oh,
30:26Glenda.
30:28Okay,

30:36Come on.
30:37Go on.
30:39She's got it.
30:41Yeah,
30:42so I think they've taken their laptop
30:43and a few other bits and buzz.
30:45They haven't made much of a mess,
30:46have they?
30:47Hmm.
30:48They didn't,
30:48like,
30:49do your ironing and put a quiche
30:50in the oven,
30:50did they?
30:52You must have scared them off
30:53somewhere when you buzzed up.
30:54Do you think?
30:55Yeah,
30:55otherwise they'd have taken more.
30:58Actually,
30:58the video doorbell would have
30:59caught them in action,
31:00surely?
31:01Oh,
31:01do you know what?
31:02It's not working,
31:02that.
31:03How'd they get in there?
31:04I mean,
31:04the front door wasn't kicked in
31:05or out,
31:05was it?
31:06Yeah,
31:06it's true,
31:07though.
31:07Do you know what?
31:09I'm going to murder Todd.
31:11I bet he's left the front door
31:11open again.
31:13He leaves the door open?
31:14Well,
31:14sometimes he,
31:15look,
31:15sometimes he likes to drink
31:16in the middle of the afternoon,
31:17so let's just say,
31:18I bet he wasn't in the right mind
31:20when he locked up for London.
31:21He doesn't sound like Todd.
31:23You'd be surprised,
31:24summer.
31:26Anyway,
31:26listen,

33:09some
33:09expectation management.
33:12And,
33:12if she can't cope

34:36no,
34:37no,
34:38no,
34:38no.
34:39Oops.
34:39Ecky thump.
34:40Uh-oh.
34:57I don't think there's much damage, mate.
35:03You all reek of booze.
35:05Oh, that's my signature scent.
35:07I mean, a lot of people mistake it for whiskey, but, oh, no,
35:11it's my eau de printemps.
35:13Yeah, there's no longer 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.
35:25No, me.
35:27Mia Copa, officer.
35:30This is all down to yours truly, yes.
35:34Debbie Webster, Weatherfield West Businesswoman of the Year.
35:39Two years running.
35:40Would have been three.
35:42Only there was vote rigging by that sunbed place on the parade.
35:47Now is the winter of our discount times.
35:50You see, the thing is, officer, I've been going through a lot lately, yes.
36:03I know you don't need to know the whys and the what-fors and the whereabouts,
36:08but my good friends here, the usual suspects...
36:12LAUGHTER
36:13They've been trying to cheer me up a bit.
36:22And as former mayor, I can confirm that, affirmatively.
36:27I wasn't mayor.
36:29I can confirm that, too.
36:30And I could have been mayor, but I haven't the time, not with my social commitments.
36:35LAUGHTER
36:36Sorry.
36:41Before I tell you what's wrong with me, and if you don't believe me, you can ring the health
36:48centre 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...
37:06I'll tell you what you'd call it.
37:07You'd call it a medical condition.
37:10Oh, go on, then.
37:10What's wrong with you?
37:11I've got me feet are killing me itis, and I can't get back to this.
37:14LAUGHTER
37:15Very funny.
37:17I 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.
37:29Bye, bye.
37:30See you, Freddy.
37:30See you, Freddy.
37:31Bye, Freddy.
37:32All disabilities are visible, you know.
37:35Hey, I'm the face of blisters, me.
37:38I'm ready to go, now.
37:39I should have told him you've got dementia.
37:42Why?
37:42I'm firing on all cylinders, me, today.
37:45LAUGHTER
37:46Ooh, ooh.
37:47I am so, so sorry.
37:59How would we have explained it to Gary and Summer if they'd found you in the flat?
38:02Well, 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.
38:07No, it doesn't, Todd.
38:09I'm sorry.
38:10I don't know what else you want me to say.
38:13I've got a pint that needs finishing down the pub.
38:18No more slip-ups, OK?
38:20You're not even supposed to be here.
38:35All right?
38:38Not really.
38:42Honey, 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.
38:54No, I did.
38:57I know, cos I just want everything to be back to normal,
39:00but I know it's not going to happen overnight.
39:04You know, I was really worried about coming home.
39:07Oh, no, honey, please don't say that.
39:10No, no, I mean, just, you know, everyone expects me to be the same old Asha.
39:17I want to smile for everyone.
39:20A lot of things have changed.
39:23And going back to uni, well, I just...
39:26I don't know if I'm ready to go back to being a paramedic yet.
39:30If 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 wrong house.
39:57Oh, hold that.
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.
40:11Oh.
40:12I'm getting very cheeky in my mature years.
40:15Like he'd have 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, nausea for nauseas.
40:32I've got one here.
40:33Hey, I know I sound like a scratch record,
40:36but I'm so proud of you, Debbie.
40:39Oh, give over.
40:41I won't be able to get me head through my 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.
40:53I know, but do you?
40:54Er, let's see.
40:55Oh, yes.
40:56I very much regret dying me air blue
40:59for a Manchester City match in 1989.
41:03It were pre-bleached,
41:04so me old perm went green.
41:07Like your dog.
41:09LAUGHTER
41:09And do you regret not having kids?
41:17I 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.
41:31Oh, 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.
41:41Yeah, and you've only mentioned 78 times tonight
41:44that you used to be Lord Ben.

42:08Cheers, Mary.
42:09Clearly.
42:10Hey, you should convince your mum to come to Spain.
42:13I see if she likes it,
42:15especially now she and Carla are taking a nosedive.
42:19Yeah, I know, but that might only be temporary.
42:21It might do her good.
42:24I don't want to get involved.
42:26You're our daughter.
42:27You are involved.
42:29And think about it.
42:30It might, you know, be exactly the tonic she needs
42:32to mend a broken heart.
42:35Walks on the beach, midnight swims.
42:37Oh, best of all...
42:39Tapas?
42:41Now, who?
42:42Us three?

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...

43:15Oh, no, no, no, listen, I've just been turned to the shop
43:16to get her some chocolates.
43:18For me?
43:20No, for Arsha.
43:22I've got something else for you, babe.
43:24Yeah.
43:26Now, you see, the thing is, we had a chat,
43:28and, um...
43:29But, you know, long story short...
43:30Yeah, so she's been hiding how she really feels.
43:33Yeah, we put on the front of other people,
43:37but he really knows what's going on
43:39going close to us, right?
