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. My mistake, 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.
01:14You're right.
01:16I'll read it.
01:17That takes the pressure off.
01:18Good.
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? We'll sort it then.
01:44Interesting. Once you give me those login details, there'll be one less thing for you to worry about.
01:47What time are you due on site?
01:57Er...
01:57About an hour.
02:01You're going to be all right on your own?
02:02I'm going to go and see her somewhere anyway.
02:06Is that wise?
02:08She collapsed yesterday. I 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? And 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.
02:37Look, 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, 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...
02:59I don't know, I'll 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.
03:11Please, babe.
03:12Babe, I just, you know, I know this is shaking you up, as it has me, and I just want to be able to help you recover, you know, without people sticking their o'er in.
03:24Okay, then.
03:28Babe.
03:32And, er, I'll get you a takeaway for tea.
03:35It was a thanks, eh?
03:37So much fatty and greasy.
03:39Yeah?
03:40Just this once.
03:43All right.
03:44See you later.
03:49All right, good, good, good.
03:51So, I've got all her favourite things, okay?
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?
04:02No, you are right.
04:04You're always right, because 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, thank you.
04:14You're welcome.
04:14All right, and I have got her favourite furry blanket, so 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.
04:29Honey, 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?
04:38Help me.
04:39Okay, okay.
04:40All right.
04:41Now, big, deep breaths, okay?
04:43In through the nose.
04:44Out through the mouth.
04:45Boom.
04:46In through the nose.
04:48Out through the mouth.
04:49Oh, good.
04:50In through the nose.
04:52Out through the mouth.
04:52No, I just need to put the sending candle by her bed, so let's just keep it together, keep it together.
04:57Keep it together, keep it together, keep it together, keep it together.
04:59Keep it together.
04:59Morning, love.
05:12Carla's moved out, hasn't she?
05:14And 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?
05:21Yeah.
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?
05:47Your 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, uh, 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.
06:25Is that Prosecco?
06:27Yeah.
06:28Yeah, it's a cheap one from Costop.
06:30I recognise the taste.
06:31Well, I'm taking 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.
06:38And I'd be happy to share that information.
06:40And maybe you could, uh, 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.
07:00Mm.
07:00Fancy 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, a bit of a free spirit.
07:09Is that a free spirit or a free loader?
07:11Yeah.
07:11Good afternoon, everyone.
07:12Hi.
07:12All right, sir.
07:13How are you?
07:14You're looking very corporate, sir.
07:16Well, I'm representing Underworld Management.
07:20Are you Underworld Management?
07:21Well, 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.
07:42Hey, 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, a bit of Dutch courage.
07:52Oh, no.
07:52No, I better not.
07:54Do excuse me, ladies.
07:55I've, er, I'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.
08:08The 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 Philly.
08:24Er, er, it was two ham salad balms.
08:28Oh, er, he's tuna.
08:30I'm tuna.
08:31Yeah.
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?
08:44Er.
08:46You're 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, 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, I might just take my break and do that.
09:10Look, we're calling it Dee's summit or other.
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 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, 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.
09:35It 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.
09:40He 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.
09:55It's not good for your compost.
09:57It's not that hard, anything.
09:58It's not even a thin drop, it's it.
09:59Wind-free showers, good, a case in a fall.
10:01It was nice we came, as I was taking yet another cutting from my feet.
10:11Do you know, there's not one political speech?
10:14It's a business event, sir.
10:16Yeah, I was mayor of Weatherfield.
10:18I've spoken at many events like this.
10:20I had an entertainment deal like this.
10:22It's a purveyor of the pizzazz, that's me.
10:27Pray 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.
10:44Cheers.
10:45Sorry for interrupting, and don't be stressed, okay?
10:48It's going to be great.
10:54Hiya, are you okay?
10:55It's cool.
10:56Good afternoon, ladies.
10:58And welcome to the fourth annual Weatherfield West Women in Business Conference.
11:03My 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 is.
11:30Welcome home.
11:31Welcome home, darling.
11:32Oh, thanks.
11:34Right, now we have got all your favourite snacks, okay?
11:38Chilli crisps.
11:38Yeah, I'm all right for now, thanks.
11:40Are you sure?
11:41Okay, 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 put your feet up on the sofa.
11:48Fluffy blanket.
11:50Yeah.
11:51Look, I've just put the kettle on.
11:52I bet 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.
12:13And 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.
12:21Yeah, being back at home normal.
12:25You know, with people treating me normally, not throwing blankets at me.
12:30Honey.
12:31Honey.
12:36You 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?
12:43Come on, honey.
12:43If anyone needs to do that, it's me.
12:46Listen, why don't you get to the hotel?
12:47I 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?
13:18Do we?
13:19Following Tracy's instructions, Preston's Petals for all your floral fancies.
13:23And 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, there's a few things I've learnt,
14:21and I'd like to share them with you.
14:24Firstly,
14:25Um, firstly,
14:33Oh, um,
14:37Just hang on a minute.
14:49Firstly,
14:50It's my passcode.
15:08Should I go over?
15:10Maybe 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...
15:26I 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, Beau.
15:45Before I moved into property, I was a hairdresser.
15:49Oh, I 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.
16:11And 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.
16:23A woman in business.
16:26With 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.
17:56Yes, 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.
18:29Somebody's name you've known for years.
18:30And then eventually I'm going to lose all this.
18:38Everything I've built up from nowt.
18:43But do 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.
19:09Glenda.
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.
19:31But that is not yet.
19:37Oh, no.
19:39And I am going to...
19:41I'm going to cling on to all those moments of triumph, joy and happiness I can before this
19:50god-awful disease takes over.
19:52And when it does, I 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 am Debbie Webster.
20:10I'm sharp, confident, in control.
20:14And I will not go down without a fight.
20:36Summit'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?
20:43He's not the only one.
20:45Well, what if it's serious?
20:48A health issue?
20:49I don't think it is.
20:50Well, 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.
21:13Yeah, 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.
21:27So, um, so hopefully I'll be able to get my stuff soon.
21:34Fast work?
21:36Well, I need somewhere to live.
21:41Can we just talk?
21:42Look, we've done a lot of talking, Lisa.
21:51I love you.
21:55Yeah, it looked like it.
21:58When you were putting the tree up with Becky, I saw you.
22:01Very cute.
22:04You know the situation, which is what makes this all so hard.
22:09But I can't watch you fat yourself anymore, okay?
22:13I can't let you break my heart.
22:15So, you're breaking mine.
22:18Maybe we're breaking each other's.
22:26I won't be in touch about my stuff.
22:33Oh, you Becky, you had me in bits.
22:35We've seen mascara.
22:36If I wore mascara, which 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 speech.
22:48Can you give us a potted version?
22:50You don't expect me to remember it, do you?
22:52She talks about her diagnosis.
22:55Hey, good for you, kid.
22:57Yeah, well, it wasn't planned, but I'm not sorry.
23:00In fact, I feel quite powerful.
23:02Hey, you should, Becky.
23:03Ladies, allow me to introduce you to...
23:06Hey, Alfredo.
23:09Now, there's a name I can't forget.
23:11How are you doing, Chuckie, eh?
23:12I'm grand, thanks, Deb.
23:13It's looking sharp as ever.
23:15I know.
23:17This is our master mixologist, everyone.
23:20And he will cater to your every request.
23:23Well, then, then.
23:27Shona, put them back.
23:29Don't you want to know what's wrong?
23:30Yeah, but not by reading his letters.
23:32What, could 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, then.
23:37Hey, hey, hey.
23:38Pink 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?
23:54Give me up, please.
23:57Hi, Ralph.
23:57Did 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?
24:11Knew you'd rinse it.
24:11And 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?
24:23Er, what about Kevin?
24:27I'd like you both to walk me down the aisle.
24:30Er, you think he'd go for it?
24:32Well, he'll have to.
24:34He 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 all?
24:47How do you mean?
24:48Well, 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, well, you'll need back up.
25:09I can handle these shutters.
25:10Mate, you're not walking in there on your own.
25:11Er, well, listen, let me go first, though.
25:13Yeah.
25:20So, I always say, OK, a woman is like a teabag.
25:35Do you always say that?
25:36Oh, wow.
25:36Yeah, you squeeze her dry and then chuck her in the bin.
25:39I know the feeling.
25:39Oh, wow.
25:40No, you never know how strong she is until you put her in hot water.
25:45Oh, 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 left?
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?
26:18Or is that just the way that you're sitting?
26:19No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
26:27You, young lady, oh, I like that, young.
26:31Are you sure you've not got dementia?
26:34You, young lady, you are one of the strongest, right?
26:39So, here is to Debbie.
26:41Aw, aw, to Debbie.
26:44Hey, 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, can he?
26:54Can he see this far over, though?
26:55I thought he'd failed his driving test because he couldn't see that registration plate.
26:59Oh, no.
27:00Well, all right, I'm going to go and powder my nose.
27:03Excuse it.
27:05I hope that's not a euphemism.
27:07Hey, 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 the floor next at Dementia Pride.
27:20The face of vascular what-nots.
27:24I'll have to give him a ring.
27:26See you.
27:28I'm afraid of.
27:33Stay clear of Glenda.
27:35Why?
27:36She's a bit whiffy around the pits.
27:39She don't believe in washing.
27:40Sorry?
27:40Eight years in Holloway.
27:42You'd think she'd know how to use a bar of soap, wouldn't you?
27:55What 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 am so sorry.
28:04Just get in there.
28:05Quick.
28:06Uh, yeah, you can come up, guys.
28:11Coast clear.
28:12There's no one here.
28:19It'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.
28:27Well, Nina knows something of this.
28:33I've formed a strong bond with a woman I've been corresponding with.
28:39It's Alice.
28:41She 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, uh, today, a further letter arrived.
29:01Is she dead?
29:02She's not died, I say.
29:03No, no, no, no.
29:08The further letter has distinctly romantic undertones.
29:14And it's completely knocked me for six.
29:17Right, 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, you know, funky ideas.
29:39Because, as you know, funky, my middle name.
29:43You know, I've always loved to get married.
29:45You know, a big meringue dress and big meringue cake thingy.
29:49You could just cut out the middle, man.
29:52Just 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.
30:03Oh, 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?
30:18I've got my dignity.
30:20You'd have to locate it first.
30:21Well, if you don't, I will.
30:23Oh, hashtag don't tell Timothy.
30:26Oh, the Glenda.
30:28OK, then.
30:29Yes!
30:30Oh!
30:32Oh!
30:34Go on, go on!
30:36Go on!
30:36Go on!
30:37She's got it!
30:37Go on!
30:39She's got it!
30:40Yeah, so I think they've taken their laptop and a few other bits and bobs.
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?
30:52You must have scared them off somewhere 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, surely?
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 won't 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?
31:14Well, sometimes he, um...
31:15Look, sometimes he likes to drink in the middle of the afternoon,
31:17so let's just say, er...
31:19I bet he wasn't in the right mind when he locked up for London.
31:22It doesn't sound like Todd.
31:23You'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.
31:33Holloway 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.
31:56Call me Tina.
31:58If anyone really needs a wash around here, it's you.
32:00Sorry, do you know, I don't mind Chrissie,
32:02but I'm not that one, Tina.
32:03Come on, have a minute.
32:04Ah, so here, have one on me.
32:06Oh!
32:07Oh!
32:13What's happening left?
32:15Oh, a newsflash.
32:17You know Joan Rivers?
32:18Oi!
32:19Right, ladies, stop lowering the tone in my hotel.
32:23Fuck a-watching.
32:25I'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.
32:32Right, come on, ladies, let's ship-shape.
32:38We'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,
32:44so we'll call off and get some alcoholic beverages.
32:48My treats.
32:48Oh, right, come on, then.
32:51Oh, Mary, can you pass me green map?
32:53Oh, damn, I have me eye 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, follow thy leader.
33:02You know what?
33:05You 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,
33:14then 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.
33:21No, 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.
33:32And I'm going to get a pad and a pen,
33:35and together, I'm going to write to Alice, yeah?
33:38Oh, for thinking, Neens.
33:41And 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 off.
33:47It's going to be half an hour.
33:48Oh, you're joking.
33:49Sounds like you're 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!
34:01How are you?
34:02How are you?
34:03Get my leg over.
34:04Get my leg over.
34:05That's been a while.
34:06Right.
34:07That's it.
34:08Oh, do you think this is a little bit common?
34:11Oh, no.
34:13Sally Seddon, I remember you in miniskirts and PVC rain masks.
34:19I did heel on your love bikes.
34:20Oh, Sally!
34:22Don't you talk to me about common...
34:24Oh, I'm misremembering.
34:26I'm a mad calf now.
34:28Right, come on, ladies.
34:30Right, come on, Barry.
34:32No, no, no, no!
34:34Don't worry.
34:34No, no, no, no!
34:36Whoops.
34:39Eky 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 whisky, but, oh, no.
35:11It's my eau de printemps.
35:13Yeah, there's no lot of guests having a good time, is there?
35:16In the middle of the day, maybe I should do you all for disorderly conduct.
35:19Oh, 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, er, there was vote rigging by that sunbed place on the parade.
35:47Now is the winter of our discount time.
35:49You 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, but my good friends here, the usual suspects, you've been trying to cheer me up a bit.
36:22And as former mayor, I can confirm that, affirmatively.
36:27I wasn't mayor.
36:28Yeah, I can confirm that, too.
36:30And I could have been mayor, but I haven't the time, not with my social commitments.
36:35I can confirm that, too.
36:36I can confirm that, too.
37:07What do you call it?
37:08You call it a medical condition.
37:09Oh, 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.
37:17I couldn't.
37:18Admire your brass neck.
37:19Go 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.
37:31See you, Freddy.
37:32Bye, Freddy.
37:33Not all disabilities are visible, you know.
37:36Hey, I'm the face of blisters, me.
37:38All right.
37:39You should have told him you've got dementia.
37:42Why?
37:43I'm firing on all cylinders, me, today.
37:46Whoop, whoop.
37:51I 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, Tweek, did they?
38:04And that makes all right, then?
38:05Does it?
38:06Hmm?
38:07No.
38:08I'll tell you what.
38:09No, it doesn't, Todd.
38:10I'm sorry.
38:11I don't know what else you want me to say.
38:13I've got a pint that needs finishing down the pub.
38:17No more slip-ups.
38:19Okay.
38:20You're not even supposed to be here.
38:36All right?
38:39Not really.
38:40Honey, I'm sorry about earlier, you know, my mouth ran away with me again.
38:46But, you know, the last thing I ever want to do is upset you, I promise.
38:49I know.
38:50But I did, though, didn't I?
38:52Well...
38:53No, I did.
38:54I know, cos I just want everything to be back to normal, but I know it's not going to happen overnight.
39:01You know, I was really worried about coming home.
39:02Oh, no, honey.
39:03Please don't say that.
39:04No, no.
39:05I mean, just...
39:06You know, everyone expects me to be the same old Asha.
39:07And I smile for everyone.
39:08A lot of things have changed.
39:09And going back to uni, well, I just...
39:10I don't know if I'm ready to go back to being a paramedic yet.
39:17If ever.
39:18Dad, I'm sorry.
39:19Hey.
39:20Come on.
39:21Come on.
39:22I know my own son's a copper, but...
39:23I know my own son's a copper.
39:24But...
39:25I don't know if I'm ready to go back to being a paramedic yet.
39:28If ever.
39:29Dad, I'm sorry.
39:30Hey.
39:31Come on.
39:32Come on.
39:33I know my own son's a copper, but...
39:36I know my own son's a copper, but...
39:39I know my own son's a copper, but...
39:50Why do I always get an overwhelming feeling?
39:54I want to slap him when I see him in the wild.
39:57Hold that.
39:58Hold that.
39:59You're a child of the 80s.
40:00Like me.
40:01They were more foe than friend back then.
40:04Hey, I thought you were just gonna come straight out of it
40:06and wave your diagnosis in his face.
40:08I thought the same thing.
40:09We're like twins, Lily.
40:11I'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?
40:23Are you allergic to strawberries?
40:24Er, no.
40:25Neither am I.
40:26Is there a corkscrew in here?
40:28Cos this one's got a cork in it.
40:30Oi, move away from there, nausey for nauseous.
40:32I've got one here.
40:33Hey, I know I sound like a scratch record, but...
40:36I'm so proud of you, Debbie.
40:39Aw, yeah.
40:40Oh, give over.
40:41I won't be able to get me head through me turquoise door at this point.
40:44LAUGHTER
40:45Hey, 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 dyeing me hair blue for a Manchester City match in 1989.
41:02LAUGHTER
41:03It were pre-bleached, so me old perm went green.
41:06LAUGHTER
41:07Like your dog!
41:08LAUGHTER
41:09And do you regret not having kids?
41:14I mean, I don't, but, you know, a lot of women do.
41:21Oh, 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.
41:28I'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.
41:36You'll keep your fostering.
41:37That's really impressive.
41:38I've got more patience than I have.
41:40Or a screw loose.
41:41LAUGHTER
41:42Yeah, and you've only mentioned 78 times tonight
41:44that you used to be Lord Brown.
41:46LAUGHTER
41:4779, actually!
41:49LAUGHTER
41:53You see, were each and every one of us...
41:56Amazing.
41:57..in our own right.
41:59LAUGHTER
42:00To all us wonderful women.
42:02Aw.
42:03Yeah.
42:04Fabulous.
42:05Fabulous women!
42:06Cheers.
42:07Nice one, Dan.
42:08Cheers, Mary.
42:09Clearly.
42:11Hey.
42:12You should convince your mum to come to Spain.
42:14Actually, if she likes it, especially now she and Carla are taking a nosedive.
42:19Yeah, I know, but that might only be temporary.
42:22It might do her good.
42:24I don't want to get involved.
42:25I don't want to get involved.
42:26Yeah.
42:27You're our daughter.
42:28You are involved.
42:29And think about it, it might, you know, be exactly the tonic she needs to mend a broken
42:34heart.
42:35Walks on the beach, midnight swims.
42:37Oh, best of all.
42:38Here comes your second question.
42:40Tapas.
42:41Yeah.
42:42Who?
42:43Us three.
42:44Back together.
42:45That wouldn't be a happy family.
42:47No, she's Sparko on the sofa, bless her.
42:52Yeah, the others have gone, so I'm just finishing the tidying up, and then I'll be back.
42:59Oh, so it was a good afternoon, then?
