00:00Ladies, and what a relief it is to have no gentlemen here.
00:24As a woman who has dedicated her life to building businesses,
00:28there's a few things I've learnt.
00:32Top of the list.
00:37Oh, damn it.
00:39Why don't you just read it? No one will mind.
00:42It's two milky coffees.
00:44I ordered a black one, did I? Did I?
00:48I'm sorry, Roy, my head's all over the shop.
00:50No, you definitely did. Mind me's sake, I'll rectify it.
00:53Bye.
00:56I don't think I should be doing this speech today.
00:58Of course you should.
01:00Do you want me to be there?
01:02No, it's a women-only event.
01:05You do look good in a dress.
01:07Very funny.
01:09You're right.
01:11I'll read it.
01:12That takes the pressure off.
01:13Good.
01:14Now, can we talk shop for a minute?
01:17I really need to get into those accounts,
01:19and you've still got to give me the details.
01:20Oh, let's not do numbers right now.
01:23Thanks, Roy.
01:24I've got a head full of words,
01:26and after I've finished this coffee,
01:28I'm off to register the wedding,
01:31so it's a busy, busy day.
01:33And you're totally on top of it?
01:36Come and find me at the hotel later, yeah?
01:38We'll sort it then.
01:39Interesting.
01:39Once you give me those logging details,
01:41it'll be one less thing for you to worry about.
01:42What time did you go on site?
01:52Er, about an hour.
01:56You going to be all right on your own?
01:57I'm going to go and see Summer anyway.
02:01Is that wise?
02:03She's collapsed yesterday.
02:04I need to see how she is.
02:06Yeah, I know, but she was going to ask what happened,
02:08didn't she?
02:09And I will tell her the same thing I told the doctor.
02:13But what if she don't believe you?
02:16Why wouldn't she?
02:18Well, because she's got Billy in her ear,
02:19hasn't she, and he hates me.
02:20Look, this guy...
02:21Look, I don't want people jumping to the wrong conclusions.
02:27Not the right conclusions.
02:30Sorry?
02:32Nothing.
02:34Look, you know it was an accident.
02:35We don't need to go through all that again, do we?
02:40No.
02:41Of course not.
02:44Look.
02:45Couldn't you just...
02:47You know...
02:48lay low for a couple of days?
02:50Until the wound calms down.
02:52Hide, you mean?
02:54Well, just...
02:55I don't know, just say you've gone to London
02:57to visit your old flatmates.
02:58Is that really necessary?
03:00We don't need the gossip.
03:02It'll only undermine us.
03:03Please, babe.
03:08I just...
03:10You know...
03:11I know this is shaking you up.
03:13As it has me.
03:14And I just want to be able to...
03:16help you recover.
03:18You know?
03:18Without people sticking their oar in.
03:21Okay, then.
03:23Babe.
03:27And, uh...
03:29I'll give you a takeaway for tea.
03:30It's a thanks, eh?
03:32Something fatty and greasy.
03:34Yeah?
03:35Just this once.
03:39All right.
03:39See you later.
03:44Okay, let's see, let's see.
03:46So, I've got all her favourite things.
03:48Let's just, uh...
03:49hope that she's hungry.
03:51Let's...
03:51Honey, what if she's not?
03:53Because I don't really want us to feel, like, overwhelmed.
03:56What?
03:56Buy a few crisps?
03:57No, you are right.
03:59You're always right.
04:00Because I'm overthinking, right?
04:02Overthinking is the art of solving problems that don't exist.
04:05I read that recently.
04:06No, it's very good.
04:07And it's, uh...
04:09You're welcome.
04:10Right.
04:10And I have got her favourite furry blanket.
04:13So she can, uh...
04:14You know, snuggle if she really wants...
04:16God damn it!
04:17What have I done here?
04:18Have I got time to wash this again?
04:20No, just calm down.
04:21The only thing that's going to stress her out is you being stressed.
04:24No, no, but honey, I just want everything to be perfect.
04:28Well, when has everything been perfect in this, Al?
04:30Yeah, you want her to feel at home, don't you?
04:33Help me.
04:34Okay, okay, all right.
04:36Now, big, deep breaths, okay?
04:38In through the nose.
04:39Out through the mouth.
04:41In through the nose.
04:43Out through the mouth.
04:45In through the nose.
04:47Out through the mouth.
04:47I just need to put the sending candle by her bed, so let's just...
04:50Keep it together, keep it together.
04:52Keep it together, keep it together, keep it together, keep it together.
04:53Keep it together.
05:01Morning, love.
05:04Carla's moved out, hasn't she?
05:09And don't lie, her toothbrush is gone and so is the nice moisturiser that she always accuses me of nicking.
05:15You do, do you?
05:24Have you split up?
05:28We're just having some time apart.
05:31But you've not split up?
05:35I don't know.
05:38Maybe.
05:40Why? Is it because of mum?
05:43Your mobile coffee shop is here and don't worry, it's not from Roy's.
05:48Did you know Carla had moved out?
05:51Yeah.
05:53And I worry, it's my fault.
05:57Whatever you think, I didn't want this to happen.
05:59Maybe you could talk to her.
06:02I don't think that's a good idea.
06:04No, it definitely isn't.
06:06I just want you to be happy, Lise.
06:10I'm a far cry from that, aren't I?
06:13Excuse me.
06:14Is that Prosecco?
06:15Yeah.
06:16Yeah.
06:17Yeah, it's a cheap one from Costop.
06:18I recognise the taste.
06:19Well, I'm taking over the bar and restaurant, so I'll make sure we do a better job next time.
06:21Well, you can get good deals on nicer brands, you know.
06:22And I'd be happy to share that information.
06:23And maybe you could do a bit of a promo for Speed Dial in return.
06:27Let's talk.
06:28Oh!
06:29Women in business.
06:30Watch and learn.
06:31Some of us are women in business.
06:32Excuse me.
06:33Excuse me.
06:34I used to run my own cosmetics firm, I love you know.
06:35Did you?
06:36Yes.
06:37What happened?
06:38I just got bored.
06:39Just fancy a bit of a change, you know.
06:40Why doesn't that surprise me?
06:41Oh!
06:42I don't like it.
06:44I don't like it.
06:45This is something of we can't do.
06:46But I don't like it.
06:47I'm very corporate, sir.
06:49Oh, oh!
06:50Women in business.
06:51Oh?
06:52Women in business.
06:53Watch and learn.
06:54Some of us are women in business.
06:56Excuse me.
06:57I used to run my own cosmetics firm, I love you know.
07:00Did you?
07:01Yes.
07:02What happened?
07:04What happened?
07:05I got bored.
07:07A fancy bit of a change, you know.
07:08Why doesn't that surprise me?
07:09No, I don't mean to be pinned down, you know.
07:10Well, I'm representing Underworld Management.
07:13Are you Underworld Management?
07:16Well, I'm seen as a manager, you know, by the other machinists.
07:21Although politics is really my thing.
07:23Oh, there she goes.
07:24Did you know I used to be the mayor of Weatherfield?
07:27I did not.
07:28I'm surprised that Debbie didn't ask me to speak today.
07:31She must have forgotten.
07:33Here she is, the star of the show.
07:38Oh, don't. I'm a bag of nerves.
07:41You'll be brilliant.
07:42Yeah, of course you will with all your experience.
07:44Class affairs, bit of Dutch courage.
07:46Oh, no. No, I better not.
07:48Do excuse me, ladies.
07:50I've just got to go and prepare myself.
07:53Yeah.
07:55I know she's gonna be all right.
07:57And if she's not, we're all here to look after her.
08:02Relax, everybody. The professional is here.
08:05How you doing?
08:06Fine, thanks.
08:07Thanks.
08:08I meant what I said about taking time off.
08:09And why would I need time off?
08:10Well, with the news about the baby, it must be a lot to get your head around.
08:13My head's fine, thank you.
08:14And the reason I didn't tell you straight away is because I don't want wrapping in cotton wool.
08:17Now, pass us that salad bowl it needs filling.
08:19Er...
08:21Er, it was two ham salad bars.
08:23Oh, er, he's tuna.
08:25I'm tuna.
08:29Apologies.
08:30I mean, it's fine, but clearly someone's isn't.
08:33That's the third order he's messed up this morning.
08:35It's not like Roy.
08:36Hey, Roy.
08:37Is everything all right?
08:38Er...
08:40Are you miles away?
08:41Oh, yes.
08:42I...
08:43I admit I'm somewhat distracted.
08:45I shall endeavour to focus.
08:47Anything you want to talk to us about?
08:49No, thank you.
08:50Well, if something's wrong, I want to know.
08:52Nina, there is nothing to be concerned about.
08:55Er...
08:56I...
08:57I simply have things on my mind.
08:58There's nothing that a nice walk wouldn't fix.
09:00In fact, now that Shona is here, I might just take my break and do that.
09:07It's a lovely drop.
09:09Yeah.
09:10Hiya, love.
09:11Hey, listen.
09:12How are you feeling?
09:13Oh, yeah, much better, thanks.
09:14What's happened, love?
09:15Oh, I...
09:16I had a hypo.
09:17Ah, sorry to hear that.
09:18Me and Todd were worried about you, you know.
09:20He can't be that worried.
09:21We were supposed to meet this morning.
09:23He's off gallivanting in London.
09:24Ah, well, he'd done...
09:25Look, he'd forgot he'd arranged it, to be honest.
09:27No, I don't mind.
09:28Well, look, he wanted to stay, to be honest.
09:30It was me who told him he needed a break.
09:32He's been so stressed, you know, with all that George stuff and...
09:35and all that.
09:36He said he should go, have some fun, let off some steam.
09:39No.
09:40I don't blame you.
09:41You do right.
09:42I'm glad he's got you looking out for him.
09:45You might remember the lady with over 4,000 drop collars.
09:49Oh, yes, that would be for check.
09:51It's not good for your compost.
09:52It's not that I had any things, anything, no food, sir.
09:54Winfrey showers, good.
09:55They're taking it all.
09:56It was once we came, as I was taking the other cutting from my feet.
09:59Do you know, there's not one political speaker?
10:09It's a business event, sir.
10:11Yeah, well, as mayor of Weatherfield, I've spoken at many events like this.
10:15I had an entertainment doos like this.
10:18The purveyor of the pizzazz.
10:20That's me.
10:21Pregnant.
10:22God, she doesn't burst into sorrow.
10:24Afternoon, ladies.
10:25Afternoon.
10:29Er, Deb.
10:30What?
10:31I'm sorry, just...
10:32I really need those login details, like, now.
10:34I need to pay the mixologist for a start.
10:36They're in my notebook, in my office, left-hand drawer, inside a jiffy bag.
10:39Cheers.
10:40Sorry for interrupting.
10:41And don't be stressed, OK?
10:43It'll be great.
10:49Hiya.
10:50You OK?
10:51Good afternoon, ladies.
10:53And 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.
11:08Hooray!
11:10Today, I will be introducing a fabulous array of speakers just for you.
11:16So without further ado, here's our first speaker, Fiona.
11:19Oh, yes, she is.
11:24Hi.
11:25Welcome home.
11:26Welcome home, darling.
11:28Thanks.
11:30Right, now we have got all your favourite snacks, OK?
11:33Chilli crisps.
11:34Yeah, I'm all right for now, thanks.
11:35Are you sure?
11:36OK, listen, you don't have to have anything if you don't want to.
11:38I'm going to put it all away again.
11:39Now, perhaps you just want to, um, put your feet up on the sofa.
11:44Fluffy blanket.
11:46Yeah.
11:47Just put the kettle on.
11:48Bet you're desperate for a proper brew, aren't you?
11:50Yeah, I really am.
11:52Are you sure you don't want to have a little lie down?
11:55Dad, I've done enough lying down the past few weeks.
11:58Understood.
11:59Just want to get back to normal.
12:01You know, darling, that is such a relief to hear.
12:04Cos I was telling Bernie just how you were helping Summer.
12:06She was amazing.
12:08And I'm so pleased that you're not giving up wanting to be a paramedic.
12:12I didn't say that.
12:13Well, I know, honey, but you said you wanted to get back to normal.
12:16Well, yeah.
12:18Yeah, being back at home normal.
12:21You know, with people treating me normally, not throwing blankets at me.
12:26Honey.
12:28Honey.
12:29You see that?
12:33I mean, she's in the house in less than two minutes and I managed to mess things up.
12:37Do you want me to go and have a word with her?
12:38No, honey.
12:39If anyone needs to do that, it's me.
12:41Listen, why don't you get to the hotel? I know you want to support Debbie.
12:45Are you sure? Cos I can stay.
12:46No.
12:47This is my bad.
12:49Or whatever that means.
12:50I'm just going to have to fix it.
13:07Sorry, I'm painting.
13:09Can you take a moment to thank some of our sponsors?
13:10Preston's Petals for all your floral fancies.
13:13What do you do, eh?
13:14Following Tracy's instructions, Preston's Petals for all your floral fancies.
13:19Be in the market to the event.
13:20Where is he now?
13:22And all the catering's been free to see off the Chariot Square Hotel.
13:26And now, for our next speaker, a businesswoman who I admire greatly.
13:44Who in fact owns this very hotel.
13:47So, please put your hands together and welcome a Weatherfield West Businesswoman of the Year,
13:53Miss Debbie Webster.
14:03Ladies, and what a relief it is to have no gentlemen here.
14:07As a woman who has dedicated her life to building businesses, there's a few things I've learnt, and I'd like to share them with you.
14:18Firstly...
14:19Erm...
14:20Firstly...
14:21Oh.
14:22Erm...
14:23Just hang on a minute.
14:24Firstly...
14:25Firstly...
14:26Oh.
14:27Erm...
14:28Just hang on a minute.
14:31Firstly...
14:32Erm...
14:33It's me past code.
14:34I don't know...
14:35I just...
14:36Just hang on a minute.
14:46It's my passcode.
15:03Should I go over?
15:05Maybe I should take over.
15:06No, no, just give her a minute.
15:11I've been diagnosed with young-onset dementia, by the way.
15:16Although, to be fair, I could never remember my passcodes at the best of times, so...
15:21I wasn't going to talk about this today, but do you know what? Maybe I should.
15:29Because this illness is certainly going to test all the business skills I've learnt over the years.
15:37And I've had many strings to me, Beau.
15:40Before I moved into property, I was a hairdresser.
15:43Oh, I've just remembered now what I wanted to tell you, yeah.
15:48So, first on my list, number one.
15:52Never underestimate the power of a good hairdo.
15:57When I walk into a meeting, I want to feel sharp, confident, in control.
16:05And I think you'll find this hair, my attire, conveys just that.
16:10I've no idea what number two was, but with hair like this, who cares?
16:16So, here I am, a woman in business, with dementia.
16:24Now, that was a shock.
16:25I had to sit down and take the weight off my false eyelashes for a while with that news.
16:33But I have never been afraid of a challenge.
16:37And life, just like business, it's going to keep throwing us these curveballs.
16:44Yeah?
16:45But it's how we adapt, how we cope with them, that defines who we are.
16:55I'm adapting.
16:57I've got strategies in place.
17:01Methods to help me remember things.
17:05Breathing to help me focus.
17:08Eh? And I exercise now.
17:11Who'd have thought that, eh?
17:12Me at the gym.
17:13The only spandex they ever wore before, that was them.
17:17Hold it all in knickers on a night out.
17:20Mary's laughing, she knows what I'm on about.
17:26So, if you were to ask me today, Debbie, how are you?
17:30I'd say, yeah.
17:32I'm great, me. I'm tickety-boo.
17:35I've got a job I love, and I'm still working.
17:39And I'm getting married soon.
17:41Yeah?
17:42Finally.
17:43To a wonderful man.
17:48Yeah.
17:51Yes, her life's good.
17:57But I'm not daft.
17:58I know it's going to get really hard.
18:07I know what's coming.
18:11Because this is a disease of losing things.
18:16First your purse, then the ability to remember appointments, somebody's name you've known for years.
18:25And then eventually I'm going to lose all this.
18:33Everything I've built up from nowt.
18:38But do you know what it's made me realise, more than anything?
18:45I'm going to lose my connection to all the people that I love.
18:54My friends.
18:57Some of them are here today, and I've known them for years, Sally.
19:03Glenda.
19:05Leanne.
19:06We fight like cat and dog, but we love each other, really.
19:12All my family.
19:16My husband.
19:20Then I'll lose me.
19:21I'll lose myself.
19:29But that is not yet.
19:32Oh, no.
19:32And I, I'm going to cling on to all those moments of triumph, joy and happiness I can before this god-awful disease takes over.
19:47And when it does, I will face it head on.
19:52Like the sassy businesswoman I am.
19:55Because you know why?
19:57I know who I am today.
19:59Oh, yes.
20:00I am Debbie Webster.
20:05I'm sharp, confident, in control, and I will not go down without a fight.
20:30So much's up with Royce.
20:33He said it was nothing to worry about.
20:35Yeah, well, he would, wouldn't he?
20:36He'd rather deflect than talk about himself.
20:38Eh, he's not the only one.
20:40Well, what if it's serious?
20:43A health issue?
20:44I don't think it is.
20:45Well, has he had anything in the post?
20:47Well, come to think of it, he was a bit tense this morning after he opened it.
20:52Right, well, we need to check.
20:54What do you mean, like, open his post?
20:56Yeah.
20:57We can't do that.
20:58Why not?
20:59He'll go mad.
21:00Well, what's that saying?
21:01It's better to ask for forgiveness than permission.
21:04Shona, no.
21:06Nina, customer.
21:07Yeah, 3pm works for me.
21:13That's fine, I'll see you tomorrow.
21:15Okay.
21:19Hi.
21:20Go and see two flats tomorrow.
21:24So, hopefully, I'll be able to get my stuff soon.
21:29Fast work?
21:31Well, I need somewhere to live.
21:32Can't we just talk?
21:38We've done a lot of talking, Lisa.
21:46But I love you.
21:50Yeah, it looked like it.
21:53When you were putting the tree up with Becky, I saw you.
21:57Very cute.
21:58You know the situation, which is what makes this all so hard.
22:04But I can't watch you fight yourself anymore, okay?
22:08I can't let you break my heart.
22:10So, you're breaking mine.
22:16Maybe we're breaking each other's.
22:21I won't be in touch if I lost all.
22:23Oh, you've barely had me, you've been missing mascara.
22:32If I wore mascara, which I don't need with these lashes, it would be running too.
22:38I can't believe I missed it.
22:40It really was a beautiful sponge.
22:43Can you give us a potted version?
22:45You don't expect me to remember it, do you?
22:47She talks about her diagnosis.
22:49Hey, good for you, kid.
22:52Yeah, well, it wasn't planned, but I'm not sorry.
22:55In fact, I feel quite powerful.
22:57Hey, you should, Becky.
22:58Ladies, allow me to introduce you to...
23:01Hey!
23:03Alfredo.
23:04Now, there's a name I can't forget.
23:06How are you doing, Chucky, eh?
23:07I'm grand, thanks, Deb.
23:08Looking sharp as ever.
23:10I know.
23:12This is our master mixologist, everyone.
23:15And he will cater to your every request.
23:17Well, then, then.
23:23Shona, put them back.
23:24Don't you want to know what's wrong?
23:25Yeah, but not by reading his letters.
23:27What?
23:27Could be important.
23:28Yeah, well, they can't be from the hospital, because the NHS letters are always blue.
23:31All right, well, maybe it's something else.
23:32Hey, hey, hey, pink envelope, handwritten, screams woman.
23:37Shona, please just put them back.
23:38I really don't feel comfortable with this.
23:40Alice?
23:41Alice?
23:42How dare you?
23:44Roy, I tried to stop her.
23:45We were worried about you.
23:46How dare you invade my privacy like this?
23:52Hi, Ralph.
23:54Did you get the account details?
23:55I did, thanks.
23:56Put everything back.
23:57Great, and you've paid all the suppliers.
23:59Yep, doing it now.
24:00So, I heard that your speech went down a storm.
24:03Yeah.
24:03Yeah, it did, actually.
24:05See?
24:05Knew you'd rinse it.
24:06And I booked a date for the wedding.
24:10March the 5th.
24:12Can't wait.
24:13Good.
24:15Because I want you to give me away.
24:18Me?
24:18Er, what about Kevin?
24:22I'd like you both to walk me down the aisle.
24:25Er, you think you'd go for it?
24:27Well, he'll have to.
24:29You mean the world to me, Carl.
24:32Really?
24:33Yeah.
24:34More than you'll ever know.
24:35Oh, did Todd not go to London after all?
24:42What do you mean?
24:43Well, I've just seen someone in your flat.
24:44The shutters were moving.
24:46All right.
24:47Did you, um, see who it was?
24:48No.
24:49I buzzed up, but no-one answered.
24:52I assumed it was Todd, but why wouldn't he answer?
24:54And why were the shutters closed?
24:56Yeah, what if someone's broken in?
24:57Trying to hate what they're doing.
24:58I didn't even think that.
25:00Well, let's find out.
25:01Come on.
25:01Er, no, it's all right.
25:02Listen, I'll go.
25:03Yeah, well, you lead back up.
25:04I can handle myself.
25:05Mate, you're not walking in there on your own.
25:06Er, well, listen, er, let me go first, though.
25:08Yeah.
25:23So, I always say, OK, a woman is like a teabag.
25:30Do you always say that?
25:30Yeah, you squeeze her dry and then chuck her in the bin.
25:34I know the feeling.
25:34Oh, what?
25:35No.
25:36You never know how strong she is until you put her in hot water.
25:41Oh, I used to say inspirational stuff like that in my speeches, you know, when I was
25:47very high-open politics.
25:48All right, Rachel Reeves, have a night off.
25:50I very nearly became an MP in Andalusia, and I've never touched sangria since.
26:02Who ordered a long, slow lick up the lake?
26:05Oh, sweetheart.
26:07You know, I'm a bit disappointed.
26:08It's only a drink.
26:10Excuse me, is my ding-a-ling-a-tinger on its way?
26:13Or is that just the way that you're sitting?
26:14No, no, no, no.
26:20I'm stuck.
26:22You, young lady.
26:24Oh, I like that, young.
26:26Are you sure you've not got dementia?
26:29You, young lady.
26:30Yeah.
26:31You are one of the strongest, right?
26:33So, here is to Debbie.
26:36Aw.
26:37Aw.
26:37To Debbie!
26:40Hey, Glenda, I think Alfredo's taking a bit of a shine to you, you know.
26:45I wondered why he kept looking over.
26:48Oh.
26:48Can he see this far over there?
26:50I thought he failed his driving test because he couldn't see that registration plate.
26:54Oh.
26:55Hello.
26:56Right.
26:57I'm going to go and powder my nose.
26:58Excuse me.
26:59I hope that's not a euphemism.
27:01Hey, I am so sorry that I missed your speech, hon, but I'm really chuffed that you've, you
27:08know, come out.
27:09Oh, hey.
27:10I have, haven't I?
27:11I'll be on a float next at Dementia Pride.
27:15The face of vascular whatnots.
27:19I'll have to give him a ring.
27:21See you.
27:22All right.
27:23I'm afraid of.
27:25Are we having a good day?
27:28Stay clear of Glenda.
27:30Why?
27:30She's a bit whiffy around the pits.
27:34She don't believe in washing.
27:35Sorry?
27:36Eight years in Holloway.
27:37You'd think she'd know how to use a bar of soap, wouldn't they?
27:39What the hell do you think you're playing at?
27:52You idiot.
27:53Look, what if we pretend we've been burgled?
27:55Take that.
27:56Get in the bedroom now and don't make a sound.
27:58I'm so sorry.
27:59Just get in there.
28:00Quick.
28:01Yeah, you can come up, guys.
28:06Coast clear.
28:07There's no one here.
28:14It's a gross invasion of privacy.
28:16Interfering with someone's correspondence.
28:18Well, there's something wrong.
28:20Yeah, what is the matter, Roy?
28:21I mean, you can tell us.
28:23Well, Nina knows something of this.
28:25I've formed a strong bond with a woman.
28:32I've been corresponding with Alice.
28:36She wrote to thank me for communicating with her son.
28:40And we continued to exchange letters.
28:45And we discovered that we had certain things in common.
28:50And then today, a further letter arrived.
28:56Is she dead?
28:57She's not died, I say.
28:58No, no, no, no.
29:03The further letter has distinctly romantic undertones.
29:10And it's completely knocked me for six.
29:13Right, so come on, Debs.
29:15Is the wedding booked or what?
29:18Well, I am getting there, Bernardina Weiner.
29:20Yes, I am getting there.
29:22Now, I've just booked myself a trendy young wedding planner.
29:27A bit wet around the gills, but I'm hoping with youth comes, you know, funky ideas.
29:34Because, as you know, funky, my middle name.
29:37You know, I've always longed to get married.
29:40You know, a big meringue dress and a big meringue cake thingy.
29:44Oh, you could just cut out the middleman and just make a big load of meringue.
29:49Might be more realistic, you know.
29:51Yeah, I wonder if I've left it too late.
29:53No, no, never say never.
29:55You never know.
29:56Mr. Wright might be just around the corner.
29:58Oh, behind a bar, making cocktails.
30:03He seems to have stopped looking over now.
30:06Oh, has he?
30:08Go and ask him out, Glenda.
30:09Go on, I dare you.
30:12Oh, go on, what have you got to lose?
30:13Do you want me dignity?
30:15You'd have to locate it first.
30:17Well, if you don't, I will.
30:18Oh, hashtag don't tell Timothy.
30:20Oh, Glenda.
30:23OK, then.
30:24Yes!
30:25Oh!
30:27Oh!
30:29Come on, come on!
30:31Come on!
30:31Go on!
30:32She's got it!
30:34She's got it!
30:36Yeah, so I think they've taken a laptop and a few other bits and bobs.
30:40They haven't made much of a mess, have they?
30:43They didn't, like, do your ironing and put a quiche in the oven, did they?
30:47You must have scared them off, Summer, when you buzzed up.
30:49Do you think?
30:50Yeah, otherwise they'd have taken more.
30:51Actually, the video doorbell would have caught them in action, Charlie.
30:56Oh, do you know what?
30:57It's not working, that.
30:58How'd they get in there?
30:59I mean, the front door one kicked in or out, was it?
31:01Yeah, it's true, that.
31:03Do you know what?
31:04I'm going to murder Todd.
31:06I bet he's left the front door open again.
31:08He leaves the door open?
31:09Well, sometimes he, um...
31:10Look, sometimes he likes a drink in the middle of the afternoon,
31:12so let's just say, er...
31:14I bet he wasn't in the right mind when he locked up for London.
31:17He doesn't sound like Todd.
31:18You'd be surprised, Summer.
31:20Anyway, listen, guys, I can take it from here,
31:23so I've got to go to the police station myself,
31:24so listen, I'll see you out.
31:25Thanks ever so much.
31:26Great neighbours.
31:27Really appreciate it.
31:28Holloway present.
31:41You what?
31:42She told the mixologist I've just been released from Holloway.
31:46Did you?
31:47Hang on, which one are we talking about?
31:49Also, Tina.
31:51Call me Tina.
31:53If anyone really needs a washer round here, it's you.
31:55Sorry, do you know, I don't mind Chrissie,
31:57but I'm not handling Tina.
31:58Come on, have a nice.
31:59Oh, so here, have one on me.
32:01Oh!
32:01Oh!
32:02Oh!
32:08What's happening left?
32:10Oh, a newsflash.
32:12You know Joan Rivers?
32:13Oi!
32:14Right, ladies.
32:16Stop lowering the tone in my hotel.
32:18Fuck a-watching.
32:19I'm sorry, Debbie, but it's her.
32:22She told the bomb and I refused to wash.
32:24What'd you say that for?
32:26She said I stand.
32:27Oh!
32:30Right, come on, ladies.
32:32Let's ship-shape.
32:33We're off.
32:33Oh, wow, where are we going?
32:35Back to mine.
32:36I'm a bit of a celebrity in here, aren't I?
32:38And we need a bit of privacy,
32:39so we'll call off and get some alcoholic beverages.
32:43My treat.
32:43Oh!
32:44Right, come on, then.
32:45Oh!
32:46Oh, Mary, can you pass me green mat?
32:48Oh, damn, I have me eye on this.
32:49Right, come on, ladies.
32:51You know what we're going to do?
32:52Hold each other up tonight.
32:53Yeah, we're not going for the jugular.
32:55No.
32:55Follow thy leader.
32:59You know what?
33:00You just need to be transparent with her.
33:02Tell her that you need to do some expectation management.
33:07And if she can't cope with just being buddies,
33:09then you just say, I'm sorry, but you've got to move on.
33:12I'm not sure I can be that articulate.
33:15Oh, you can.
33:16No, but the pen enters my hand and my brain goes into a whir.
33:23Right, well, you know what I think?
33:25I think we could all do with a brew,
33:26so I'm going to go make us one.
33:28And I'm going to get a pad and a pen,
33:30and together, we're going to write to Alice, yeah?
33:33Oh, good thinking, Neens.
33:34And there's no taxis, cos there's no taxis.
33:38There's normally loads of them going up and down here.
33:40No, I'm on the streetcar's app.
33:42It's going to be half an hour.
33:43Oh, you're joking.
33:44Sounds like a timmering.
33:45Oh, stuff that for a game of soldiers.
33:48I cannot clicky-clack one step further in these heels.
33:51My bunions are throbbing.
33:52Right, someone will have to push me.
33:54This is a little bit common.
34:06Oh, no.
34:08Sally said, I remember you in miniskirts on PVC rainmacks.
34:14I'm Danielle on your love bike.
34:17Don't you talk to me about common.
34:19Oh, I'm misremembering.
34:21I'm a mad calf now.
34:22Right, come on, ladies.
34:25Right, come on.
34:26Go on, Ben.
34:27No, no, no.
34:28Don't worry.
34:29No, no, no, no, no.
34:33Oops.
34:34Ecky thump.
34:35Uh-oh.
34:52I don't think there's much damage, mate.
34:58You all rick of booze.
35:00Oh, that's my signature scent.
35:02I mean, a lot of people mistake it for whiskey, but oh, no, it's my eau de printemps.
35:07Yeah, there's no law against having a good time, is there?
35:11In the middle of the day.
35:12Maybe I should do you all for disorderly conduct.
35:14Oh, as former man, there is nothing disorderly about me.
35:20No, me.
35:22Mia Copa, officer.
35:25This is all down to yours truly, yes.
35:29Debbie Webster.
35:31Weatherfield West businesswoman of the year.
35:34Two years running.
35:35Would have been three.
35:37Only, uh, there was vote rigging by that sunbed place on the parade.
35:42Now is the winter of our discount time.
35:46You see, the thing is, officer, I've been going through a lot lately, yes.
35:58And you don't need to know the whys and the what-fors and the whereabouts,
36:03but my good friends here, the usual suspects...
36:12They've been trying to cheer me up a bit.
36:17And as former mayor, I can confirm that affirmatively.
36:22I wasn't mayor.
36:24I can confirm that too.
36:25And I could have been mayor, but I haven't the time.
36:28Not with my social commitments.
36:30LAUGHTER
36:31Sorry.
36:37Before I tell you what's wrong with me,
36:40and if you don't believe me,
36:42you can ring the health centre on Rosamund Street.
36:45Ask for Dr Sue Gaddis, or Sue, as I like to call her.
36:48We're on first-name terms.
36:49They're like that.
36:50Aw, yeah, she's lovely Sue.
36:52Do you know her?
36:53Is it Sue?
36:54I didn't know that.
36:55I did.
36:56So, let's just call what I have.
36:59Well, what would you call it, girls?
37:01You'd call...
37:01I'll tell you what you'd call it.
37:02You'd call it a medical condition.
37:05Oh, go on then.
37:05What's wrong with you?
37:06I've got me feet are killing me itis,
37:08and I can't get back to this.
37:09LAUGHTER
37:10Very funny.
37:12I couldn't...
37:13Admire your brass neck.
37:15Go on with you before I change my mind.
37:16Go on.
37:17CHEERING
37:17Hey, it is a medical condition, you know.
37:22Poorly tutsies.
37:23My name's Freddie Kruger.
37:24See you, Freddie.
37:25See you, Freddie.
37:26Bye, Freddie.
37:27All disabilities are visible, you know.
37:30Hey, I'm the face of blisters, me.
37:33I'm doing it all now.
37:34You should have told him you got dementia.
37:37Why?
37:37I'm firing on all cylinders, me, today.
37:40Whoop, whoop.
37:42I am so, so sorry.
37:54How would we have explained it to Gary and Summer
37:56if they'd found you in the flat?
37:57Well, they didn't, Swig, did they?
37:59And that makes it all right, then?
38:00Does it?
38:01Hmm?
38:02No.
38:02I'll tell you what.
38:03No, it doesn't, Todd.
38:04I'm sorry.
38:05I don't know what else you want me to say.
38:08I've got a pint that needs finishing down the pub.
38:13No more slip-ups, okay?
38:15You're not even supposed to be here.
38:30All right?
38:31Not really.
38:37Honey, I'm sorry about earlier, you know,
38:39my mouth ran away with me again,
38:42but, you know, the last thing I ever want to do
38:43is upset you, I promise.
38:45I know.
38:46But I did, though, didn't I?
38:48Well.
38:49No, I did.
38:52I know, because I just want everything to be back to normal,
38:55but I know it's not going to happen overnight.
38:59You know, I was really worried about...
39:01coming home.
39:02Oh, no, honey, no, please don't say that.
39:05No, no, I mean, just...
39:07You know, everyone expects me to be the same old Asha.
39:12I want to smile for everyone.
39:15A lot of things have changed.
39:18And going back to uni, well, I just...
39:21I don't know if I'm ready to go back to being a paramedic yet.
39:29If ever.
39:29Dad, I'm sorry.
39:34Hey.
39:36Come on.
39:42I know me own son's a copper,
39:45but why do I always get an overwhelming feeling?
39:49I want to slap them when I see them in the wild.
39:52Oh, what's that?
39:53You're a child of the 80s, like me.
39:57They were more foe than friend back then.
39:59Hey, I thought you were just going to come straight out of it
40:01and wave your diagnosis in his face.
40:03I thought the same thing.
40:05We're like twins, Lily.
40:06I'm getting very cheeky in my mature years.
40:10Like he believed you in the first place.
40:12Oh, exactly.
40:13I am far too sexy to have a life-limiting condition.
40:17Really?
40:17Are you allergic to strawberries?
40:19Er, no.
40:20Neither am I.
40:22Is there a corkscrew in here?
40:23Because this one's got a cork in it.
40:25Oi, move away from there, nosy for nosies.
40:27I've got one here.
40:28Hey, I know I sound like a scratch record,
40:31but I'm so proud of you, Debbie.
40:34Oh, give over.
40:36I won't be able to get me head through my turquoise door
40:38at this point.
40:42Hey, do you have any regrets in life?
40:45I'm not dead yet.
40:46I know, I know.
40:48I know, but do you?
40:49Er, let's see.
40:51Oh, yes.
40:51I very much regret dyeing me air blue
40:54for a Manchester City match in 1989.
40:58It were pre-bleached, so me old perm went green.
41:02Like your dog.
41:08And do you regret not having kids?
41:12I mean, I don't, but, you know, a lot of women do.
41:17Oh, life's too short to have regrets.
41:18Yeah, erm, you've just got to make it do, haven't you?
41:22With the cards you dealt.
41:24I'm sure we all wish we'd done more with our lives.
41:26Oh, you've done loads with yours, Sally.
41:29Have I?
41:30Yeah, he'll keep you fostering.
41:32That's really impressive.
41:33Got more patience than I have.
41:34Or a screw loose.
41:36Yeah, and you've only mentioned 78 times tonight
41:39that you used to be Lord Man.
41:4279, actually.
41:43You see, were each and every one of us
41:51amazing in our own right
41:53to all us wonderful women.
41:57Aw.
41:58Yeah.
41:59Fabulous women.
42:00Cheers.
42:02Nice one, Dems.
42:03Cheers, Mary.
42:04Clearly.
42:06Hey, you should convince your mum to come to Spain.
42:08I see if she likes it,
42:10especially now she and Carla are taking a nosedive.
42:14Yeah, I know, but that might only be temporary.
42:16It might do her good.
42:19I don't want to get involved.
42:21You're our daughter.
