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.
04:40Okay.
04:41Okay.
04:42All right.
04:43Now, big deep breaths, okay, in through the nose,
04:45out through the mouth.
04:47In through the nose, out through the mouth,
04:50in through the nose, out through the mouth.
04:53I just need to put the sending candle by her bed,
04:54so let's just keep it together, keep it together.
04:56Keep it together, keep it together, keep it together.
04:59Keep it together.
05:06Morning, love.
05:11Carla's moved out, hasn't she?
05:14And don't lie, her toothbrush is gone
05:17and so is the nice moisturiser that she always accuses me of nicking.
05:20You do, do you?
05:23Have 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.
06:12I 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,
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
06:43for Speed Dial in return.
06:45Let's talk.
06:46Women in business, watch and learn.
06:49Some of us are women in business.
06:51Excuse me, I used to run my own cosmetics firm,
06:54I love you, no.
06:55Did you?
06:56Yes.
06:56What happened?
06:58I just got bored.
07:00Fancy bit of a change, you know.
07:02Why doesn't that surprise me?
07:03No, 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 doing?
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,
07:25by 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?
07:32I 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 she will with all your experience.
07:50That's a face, bit of 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,
08:16it 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
08:20is because I don't want wrapping in cotton wool.
08:22Now, pass us that salad bowl it needs filling.
08:24Uh, it was two ham salad barns.
08:28Oh, he's tuna.
08:30I'm tuna.
08:34Apologies.
08:35Hey, my head's fine, but clearly someone's, isn't it?
08:38That's the third order who's messed up this morning.
08:40It's not like Roy.
08:42Hey, Roy.
08:43Is everything all right?
08:45Er...
08:45Your mouth's 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, I 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,
09:07I 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, much better, thanks.
09:19What's happened, love?
09:20Oh, I've had a hypo.
09:22Ah, sorry to hear that.
09:23Yeah, me and Todd were worried about you, you know.
09:25He can't be that worried.
09:26Who's supposed to meet this morning?
09:28He's off gallivanting in London.
09:29Ah, well, he'd, um...
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,
09:38with all that George stuff and all that.
09:40He said he should go, have some fun,
09:42let 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
09:51with over 4,000 job collars.
09:54Oh, yes, I'm with the chair.
09:56It's not good for your compass.
09:57It's not that hard, anything.
09:58It's only a thin-told food sip.
09:59Winfrey showers, good.
10:00The kitchen hit ball.
10:01It was once we came
10:02as 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,
10:18I've spoken at many events like this.
10:20I don't have to take a deal like this.
10:23Purveyor of the pizzazz, that's me.
10:26Pray God, she doesn't burst into sorrow.
10:29Afternoon, ladies.
10:30Good afternoon.
10:34Deb?
10:35What?
10:36I'm sorry, just...
10:37I 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,
10:43left-hand drawer, inside a jiffy bag.
10:44Sorry for interrupting.
10:45And don't be stressed, OK?
10:48You're going to be great.
10:54Hiya, are you OK?
10:55It's cool.
10:56Good afternoon, ladies.
10:57And welcome to the fourth annual
11:00Weatherfield West Women in Business Conference.
11:07My name is Marianne,
11:10and 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.
11:23Oh, yes, she is.
11:30Welcome home.
11:31Welcome home, darling.
11:33Thanks.
11:34Right, 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.
12:02Understood.
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.
12:25You know, with people treating me normally,
12:28not throwing blankets at me.
12:30Honey.
12:31Honey.
12:36Can you 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 you take a moment to thank some of our sponsors?
13:15Preston's Petals for all your floral fancies.
13:18What do you do, babe?
13:19Following Tracy's instructions, Preston's Petals for all your floral fancies.
13:23The catering designed flyers and sisters.
13:27And all the catering's been free to see our 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.
14:07Ladies, and what a relief it is to have no gentlemen here.
14:11As 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.
14:24Firstly...
14:28Um...
14:31Firstly...
14:33Oh.
14:36Um...
14:37Just hang on a minute.
14:41Um...
14:43Firstly...
14:50Um...
14:53It's my passcode.
15:07Should I go, Alva?
15:10Maybe I should take care of that.
15:11No, no, just give her a minute.
15:13No.
15:16I've been diagnosed with young-onset dementia, by the way.
15:21Although, to be fair, I could never remember my passcode at the best of times, so...
15:26I wasn't going to talk about this today, but you know what?
15:32Maybe I should.
15:33Because this illness is certainly going to test all the business skills I've learnt over the years.
15:41And I've had many strings to me, Beau.
15:45Before I moved into property, I was a hairdresser.
15:49Oh!
15:49I just remembered, now, what I wanted to tell you.
15:52Yeah.
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.
16:10And 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.
16:29Now, that was a shock.
16:30I 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?
16:51But it's how we adapt.
16:54How we cope with them, that defines who we are.
16:56I'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?
17:13And I exercise now.
17:16Who'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.
17:23Mary's laughing.
17:26She 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.
17:39I've got a job I love.
17:41And I'm still working.
17:44And I'm getting married soon.
17:46Yeah?
17:48Finally.
17:48To a wonderful man.
17:53Yeah.
17:55Yes, her life's good.
18:02But I'm not daft.
18:07I know it's going to get really hard.
18:11I know what's coming.
18:16Because this is a disease of losing things.
18:23First your purse.
18:25Then the ability to remember appointments.
18:28Somebody'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.
18:56To all the people that I love.
19:01My friends.
19:02Some of them are here today
19:05and I've known them for years, Sally.
19:08Glenda.
19:10Leanne.
19:12We fight like cat and dog
19:14but we love each other, really.
19:18All my family.
19:21My husband.
19:25Then I'll lose me.
19:29I'll lose myself.
19:32But that
19:35is not yet.
19:37Oh, no.
19:39And I
19:40am going to
19:41I'm going to
19:43cling on
19:43to all those moments
19:45of
19:46triumph
19:47joy
19:48and happiness
19:49I can
19:50before this god-awful disease takes over.
19:52And when it does
19:53I will face it
19:55head on
19:56like the sassy businesswoman I am.
19:59because you know why?
20:02I know who I am today.
20:04Oh, yes.
20:06I
20:06am
20:08Debbie Webster.
20:09I'm sharp
20:11confident
20:12in
20:13control
20:14and I will not
20:15go down without a fight.
20:17APPLAUSE
20:18So much up with Royce.
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.
21:04Well, what's that saying?
21:06It's better to
21:06ask for forgiveness
21:07than permission.
21:09Shona.
21:10No.
21:11Nina.
21:11Customer.
21:12Yeah, 3pm works for me.
21:18That's fine.
21:18I'll see you tomorrow.
21:19OK.
21:24Hi.
21:25Go and see you two flats tomorrow.
21:27Erm,
21:29so hopefully
21:30I'll be able to get my stuff soon.
21:34Fast work?
21:35Well,
21:36I need somewhere to live.
21:37Can't we just talk?
21:43We've done a lot of talking,
21:44Lisa.
21:51But I love you.
21:55Yeah,
21:56it looked like it.
21:57when you were putting the tree up with Becky.
22:00I saw you.
22:02Very cute.
22:04You know the situation,
22:06which is what makes this all so hard.
22:09But I can't watch you fat yourself anymore, OK?
22:12And I can't let you break my heart.
22:15So...
22:16So you break your mind.
22:21Maybe we're breaking each other's.
22:26I won't be in touch about my stuff.
22:28Oh, you've barely had me in bits.
22:35We've seen your mascara.
22:37If I wore mascara,
22:38which I don't need with these lashes,
22:40it 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,
22:51do you?
22:52She talked about her diagnosis.
22:55Eh,
22:55good for you,
22:56Kate.
22:56Yeah, well, it wasn't planned,
22:58but I'm not sorry.
23:00In fact, I feel quite powerful.
23:02There you should, Becky.
23:03Ladies,
23:04allow 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.
23:12Thanks, Deb.
23:13Looking sharp as ever.
23:15I know.
23:17This is our master mixologist, everyone.
23:20And he will cater to your every request.
23:23Well, then, then.
23:26Shona, 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,
23:39handwritten 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?
23:54Give me a look, then.
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.
24:08Yeah, it did, actually.
24:10See?
24:10Knew you'd rinse it.
24:13And 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?
24:24Er...
24:25What about Kevin?
24:27I'd like you both to walk me down the aisle.
24:30Er, you think you'd go for it?
24:32Well, he'll have to.
24:33You mean the world to me, Carl.
24:37Really?
24:38Yeah.
24:39More than you'll ever know.
24:42Hey.
24:44Oh, did Todd not go to London after?
24:47What do you mean?
24:47Well, I've just seen someone in your flat.
24:49The 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, eh?
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 me, Chuck.
25:10Mate, you're not walking in there on your own.
25:11Er, well, listen, er, let me go first, then.
25:13Okay.
25:14Okay.
25:14So, I always say, okay, a woman is like a teabag.
25:35Do you always say that?
25:35Yeah, you squeeze her dry and then chuck her in the bin.
25:39I know the feeling.
25:39Oh, no.
25:41You 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,
25:51you know, when I was very high-open politics.
25:53All right, Rachel Reeves, have a night off.
25:58I very nearly became an MP in Andalusia,
26:02and I've never touched sangria since.
26:05Who ordered a long, slow lick-up-the-lip?
26:10Oh, sweetheart.
26:12You know, I'm a bit disappointed.
26:13It's only a drink.
26:15Excuse me, is my ding-a-ling-a-tingler on its way?
26:17Or is that just the way that you're sitting?
26:24No, no, no, no.
26:27You, young lady.
26:29Oh, I like that, young.
26:31Are you sure you've not got dementia?
26:32You, young lady.
26:35You are one of the strongest, right?
26:39So here is to Debbie.
26:41Oh, to Debbie!
26:45Hey, Glenda, I think Alfredo's taking a bit of a shine to you, you know.
26:50I wondered why he kept looking over.
26:52Oh, can he?
26:54Can he see this far over, though?
26:55I thought he failed his driving test because he couldn't see that registration plate.
27:01Right, I'm going to go and powder my nose.
27:03Excuse it.
27:04I 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 know, 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 what-nots.
27:22I'll have to give him a ring.
27:26See you.
27:28I'm afraid of.
27:33Steer clear, Glenda.
27:35Why?
27:36She's a bit whiffy around the pits.
27:39She don't believe in washing.
27:40Sorry?
27:41Eight years in Holloway.
27:42You'd think she'd know how to use a bar of soap, wouldn't you?
27:44Oh.
27:52What the hell do you think you're playing at?
27:57You idiot.
27:58Look, we'll have to pretend we've been burgled.
28:00Take that.
28:01Get in the bedroom now and don't make a sound.
28:03I am so sorry.
28:04Just get in there.
28:05Quick.
28:09Yeah, you can come up, guys.
28:11Call's clear.
28:12There's no one here.
28:18It's a gross invasion of privacy.
28:21Interfering with someone's correspondence.
28:23Well, there's something wrong.
28:25Yeah, what is the matter, Roy?
28:26I mean, you can tell us.
28:28Well, Nina knows something of this.
28:33I've formed a strong bond with a woman.
28:37I've been corresponding with.
28:39It's Alice.
28:41She wrote to thank me for communicating with her son.
28:45And we continued to exchange letters.
28:49And 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, has she?
29:03No, no.
29:04No, no.
29:08The further letter has distinctly romantic undertones.
29:13And it's completely knocked me for six.
29:18Right, 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 comes, um...
29:36You know, of funky ideas.
29:39Ooh.
29:39Because, as you know, funky, my middle name.
29:43You know, I've always longed to get married.
29:45You know, a big meringue dress and a big meringue cake thingy.
29:49Aw.
29:49You 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.
29:58Oh, no, never say never.
30:00You never know.
30:01Mr. Wright might be just round the corner.
30:03Or, behind a bar, making cocktails.
30:08He 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 it with me dignity.
30:20You'd have to locate it first.
30:22Well, if you don't, I will.
30:23Oh, hashtag don't tell Timothy.
30:26Oh, Glenda.
30:28OK, then.
30:29Yes!
30:30Oh!
30:32Oh!
30:34Go on, come on!
30:36Go on!
30:36Go on!
30:37Go on!
30:39She's disgusting!
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?
30:47Mm.
30:48They didn't, like, do your ironing and put a quiche in the oven, did they?
30:52You must have scared them off, Summer, when you buzzed up.
30:54Do you think?
30:55Yeah, otherwise they'd have taken more.
30:56Actually, 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, though.
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?
31:13Well, sometimes he, look, sometimes he likes to drink in the middle of the afternoon, so let's just say, er, I 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.
31:24Anyway, listen, guys, I can take it from here, so I've got to go to the police station myself, so listen, I'll see you out.
31:30Thanks ever so much.
31:31Great neighbours.
31:32Really appreciate it.
31:44Holloway present.
31:46You what?
31:47She told the mixologist I've just been released from Holloway.
31:50Did you?
31:52Hang on, which one are we talking about?
31:54Also, Tina.
31:55Ah, ah, ah, ah.
31:56Call me Tina.
31:58If anyone really needs a wash around here, it's you.
32:00Sorry, do 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!
32:13What's happening left?
32:15Oh, a new splash.
32:17You know Joan Rivers?
32:18Oi!
32:19Right, ladies, stop lowering the tone in my hotel.
32:23Folk a-watching.
32:24I'm sorry, Debbie, but it's her.
32:27She told the barman I refused to wash.
32:29What'd you say that for?
32:31She said I stand.
32:32Oh!
32:35Right, come on, ladies, let's ship-shape, we're off.
32:38Oh, 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 and get some alcoholic beverages.
32:48My treat.
32:48Oh-hoo!
32:49Right, come on, then.
32:50Oh, Mary, can you pass me green mat?
32:52Oh, damn, I'd be high on this.
32:55Right, come on, ladies, you know what we're going to do?
32:57Hold each other up tonight.
32:58Yeah, we're not going for the jugular.
33:00No.
33:00Follow thy leader.
33:01You know what, you just need to be transparent with her.
33:07Tell her that you need to do some expectation management.
33:12And if she can't cope with just being buddies, then you just say, I'm sorry, but you've got to move on.
33:16I'm not sure I can be that articulate.
33:20Oh, you can.
33:21Oh, no, 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, so I'm going to go make us one.
33:32And I'm going to get a pad and a pen, and together, I'm going to write to Alice, yeah?
33:38Oh, good thinking, Names.
33:40And there's no taxes, because there's no taxes.
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.
33:52I cannot clicky-clack one step further in these heels.
33:56Me bunions are throbbing.
33:57Right, someone will have to push me.
33:59Oh, no!
34:00This is a little bit common.
34:11Oh, no.
34:13Sally said, I remember you in miniskirts on PVC rain mats.
34:18And an eel on your love vibes.
34:22Don't you talk to me about common.
34:25Oh, I'm misremembering.
34:26I'm a mad calf now.
34:28Right, come on, ladies.
34:30Right, come on.
34:31Right, come on.
34:31Come on, baby.
34:32No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
34:38Oops.
34:39Eeky thump.
34:40Uh-oh.
34:41I 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.
35:11It's my eau de print-on.
35:13Yeah, there's no lot of guests having a good time, is there?
35:16In the middle of the day.
35:17Maybe I should do you all for disorderly conduct.
35:20Oh, as former man, there is nothing disorderly about me.
35:25No, me.
35:27Mia Culper, officer, this is all down to yours truly, yes.
35:34Debbie Webster, Weatherfield West Businesswoman of the Year.
35:39Two years running.
35:40It would have been three.
35:42Only there was vote rigging by that sunbed place on the parade.
35:47Now is the winter of our discount time.
35:52Discount, sir.
35:53You 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, but my good friends
36:10here are the usual suspects.
36:17You've been trying to cheer me up a bit.
36:22And as former mayor, I can confirm that, affirmatively.
36:27I wasn't mayor.
36:28I can confirm that, too.
36:30And I could have been mayor, but I haven't the time, not with my social commitments.
36:35Sorry.
36:40Before 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.
37:16Very funny.
37:18Admire your brass neck.
37:20Go on with you before I change my mind.
37:21Go on.
37:22Hey, 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.
37:32Not all 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.
37:45Ooh, ooh.
37:52I 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?
38:06No.
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?
38:39Not 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, but 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...
39:11You know, everyone expects me to be the same old Asha.
39:17And I smell 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, but why do I always get an overwhelming feeling?
39:54I want to slap him when I see him in the roundhouse.
39:56Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
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 and 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'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?
40:28Because this one's got a cork in it.
40:30Oi, move away from there, nausea for nausea.
40:32I've got one here.
40:33Hey, I know I sound like a scratch record, but 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 for a Manchester City match in 1989.
41:03It were pre-bleached, so me old perm went green.
41:07Like your door.
41:13And 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.
41:34Have I?
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, you've only mentioned 78 times tonight that you used to be Lord Mac.
41:4779, actually.
41:48You see, we're each and every one of us amazing in our own right.
41:58What's that?
42:00To all us wonderful women.
42:02Aw.
42:03Yeah.
42:03Fabulous, fabulous women.
42:05Cheers.
42:07Nice one, Dan.
42:08Cheers, Mary.
42:09Clearly.
42:09Hey, you should convince your mum to come to Spain.
42:14I see if she likes it, especially now she and Carla are taking a nosedive.
42:19Yeah, I know, but that might only be temporary.
42:21It might do her good.
42:24I don't want to get involved.
