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.
04:35All right.
04:36Now, big, deep breaths, okay?
04:38In through the nose.
04:40Out through the mouth.
04:41In through the nose.
04:43Out through the mouth.
04:45In through the nose.
04:47Out through the mouth.
04:48I just need to put the sending candle by her bed, so let's just...
04:50Keep it together, keep it together.
04:52Keep it, keep it, keep it, keep it, keep it, keep it, keep it.
04:54Keep 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?
06:41No.
06:42No, no, no, no.
06:43It's all right, No.
06:44It's all right, no.
06:46It's all right.
06:47I don't know what they are.
06:48Oh, you know?
06:49It's all right.
06:50What happened?
06:52What's that?
06:53I just got bored.
06:54I just fancy a bit of a change, you know.
06:57Why doesn't that surprise me?
06:58I don't mean to be pinned down, you know.
07:00I'm a bit of a ... a bit of a free spirit.
07:03Is that free spirit or a freeloader?
07:05ves out a free-loader.
07:06Yes, afternoon everyone.
07:07All right, Si.
07:08How you do you?
07:09You're a very corporate fellow.
07:11Well, I'm representing Underworld Management.
07:15Are you Underworld Management?
07:18Well, I'm seen as a manager, you know, by the other machinists.
07:22Although politics is really my thing.
07:24Oh, there she goes.
07:25Did you know I used to be the mayor of Weatherfield?
07:28I did not.
07:29I'm surprised that Debbie didn't ask me to speak today.
07:32She must have forgotten.
07:33Yeah.
07:36Here she is, the star of the show.
07:39Oh, don't. I'm a bag of nerves.
07:41You'll be brilliant.
07:42Yeah, of course you will with all your experience.
07:45Class affairs, bit of Dutch courage.
07:47Oh, no. No, I better not.
07:49Do excuse me, ladies. I've just got to go and prepare myself.
07:53Yeah.
07:56I hope she's going to 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 are you doing?
08:06Fine, thanks.
08:07I 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, er, it was two ham salad bars.
08:23Oh.
08:24Er, he's tuna.
08:25I'm tuna.
08:29Apologies.
08:29Hey, mate, it's fine, but clearly someone's, isn't it?
08:33That's the third order he's messed up this morning.
08:35It's not like Roy.
08:37Hey, Roy.
08:38Is that within all right?
08:39Er.
08:41You're miles away?
08:42Oh, yes, I 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.
08:55No, I 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.
09:06We'll call her a dee, some of the others.
09:07It's a lovely drop.
09:09Yeah.
09:09Hiya, love.
09:11Hey, listen.
09:12How are you feeling?
09:13Oh, yeah, much better, thanks.
09:14What's happened, love?
09:15Oh, I 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.
09:30Stick with me, who told him he needed a break.
09:32He's been so stressed, you know, with all that George stuff and all that.
09:35He said he should go, have some fun, let her off some steam.
09:39No, I don't blame you.
09:40You do right.
09:41I'm glad he's got you looking out for him.
09:45You might remember the lady with over 4,000 drop collars.
09:48Oh, yes, haven't we, Mr. Kent?
09:51It's not good for your compost.
09:52It's not going to add anything.
09:53It's only going to have a thin drop heat sip.
09:54Wintry showers, good for catching it all.
09:56It was once we came as I was taking yet another cutting
09:59from my feet.
10:06Isn't it, there's not one political speaker?
10:09It's a business event, sir.
10:11Yeah, well, as mayor of Weatherfield,
10:13I've spoken at many events like this.
10:15I had an entertainment do like this.
10:18Purveyor of the pizzazz, that's me.
10:21Pray God she doesn't burst into soil.
10:24Afternoon, ladies.
10:25Afternoon.
10:29Deb?
10:30What?
10:31I'm sorry, just, I really need those login details,
10:33like, now.
10:34I need to pay the mixologist for a start.
10:36They're in my notebook, in my office,
10:38left-hand drawer, inside a jiffy bag.
10:39Cheers.
10:40Sorry for interrupting.
10:40And don't be stressed, OK?
10:43You're going to be great.
10:43Good afternoon, ladies.
10:53And welcome to the fourth annual Weatherfield West
10:56Women in Business Conference.
10:58My name is Marianne,
11:05and I run a company that promotes
11:07women in the workplace.
11:09Hooray!
11:10Today, I will be introducing
11:12a fabulous array of speakers
11:14just for you.
11:16So without further ado,
11:17here's our first speaker, Fiona.
11:22Oh, here she is.
11:24Welcome home.
11:26Welcome home, darling.
11:28Thanks.
11:29Right, now we have got
11:30all your favourite snacks, OK?
11:33Chilli crisps.
11:33Yeah, I'm all right for now, thanks.
11:35Are you sure?
11:36OK, listen, you don't have to have anything
11:37if you don't want to.
11:38I'm going to put it all away again.
11:39Now, perhaps you just want to, um,
11:41put your feet up on the sofa.
11:43Fluffy blanket.
11:45Yeah.
11:46Look, I've just 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
11:53a little lie down?
11:55Dad, I've done enough lying down
11:56the past few weeks.
11:58Understood.
11:59Just want to get back to normal.
12:01You know, darling,
12:01that is such a relief to hear.
12:04Because I was telling Bernie
12:05just how you were helping someone.
12:06She was amazing.
12:08And I'm so pleased
12:09that you're not giving up
12:10wanting to be a paramedic.
12:12I didn't say that.
12:13Well, I know, honey,
12:14but you said you wanted
12:15to get back to normal.
12:16Well, yeah.
12:17Yeah, being back at home normal.
12:20You know, with people treating me
12:22normally, not throwing blankets at me.
12:25Honey.
12:26Honey.
12:27You see that?
12:34I mean, she's in the house
12:34in less than two minutes
12:35and I managed to mess things up.
12:37Do you want me to go and have a word with her?
12:38No, honey.
12:38If anyone needs to do that,
12:39it's me.
12:41Listen, once you get to the hotel,
12:43I know you want to support Debbie.
12:44Are you sure?
12:45Because I can stay.
12:46No.
12:46This is my bad.
12:48Whatever that means.
12:51I'm just going to have to fix it.
13:07Sorry, I'm paid.
13:08Can you take a moment
13:08to thank some of our...
13:10Preston's petals
13:11for all your floral fancies.
13:12And now, for our next speaker,
13:40a businesswoman
13:42who I admire greatly.
13:44Who, in fact, owns this very hotel.
13:47So, please put your hands together
13:49and welcome
13:50a Weatherfield West
13:52Businesswoman of the Year,
13:54Miss Debbie Webster.
13:55APPLAUSE
13:56Ladies, and...
14:04What a relief it is
14:05to have no gentleman here.
14:06LAUGHTER
14:07As a woman
14:09who has dedicated her life
14:11to building businesses,
14:13there's a few things I've learnt
14:15and I'd like to share them
14:17with you.
14:19Firstly...
14:20Firstly...
14:27Oh.
14:31Um...
14:32Just...
14:36Hang on a minute.
14:44Firstly...
14:45It's my passcode.
15:03Should I go over?
15:05Maybe I should take care of that.
15:06No, no.
15:07Just give her a minute.
15:08There.
15:08I've been diagnosed
15:12with young-onset dementia,
15:13by the way.
15:16Although, to be fair,
15:17I could never remember
15:17my passcodes
15:18at the best of times, so...
15:20I wasn't going to talk
15:26about this today,
15:26but do you know what?
15:27Maybe I should.
15:29Because this illness
15:30is certainly going to test
15:31all the business skills
15:33I've learnt over the years.
15:37And I've had many strings
15:39to me bow.
15:40Before I moved into property,
15:42I was a hairdresser.
15:44Oh!
15:45I've just remembered now
15:46what I wanted to tell you.
15:47Yeah.
15:48So, first on me list,
15:50number one,
15:52never underestimate
15:53the power
15:54of a good hairdo.
15:57When I walk
15:58into a meeting,
16:00I want to feel sharp,
16:02confident,
16:03in control.
16:06And I think you'll find
16:07this hair,
16:08my attire
16:08conveys just that.
16:10I've no idea
16:11what number two was,
16:12but with hair like this,
16:13who cares?
16:16So, here I am,
16:18a woman in business,
16:20with dementia.
16:24Now, that was a shock.
16:27I had to sit down
16:28and take the weight
16:29off my false eyelashes
16:30for a while
16:30with that news.
16:31But I have never been afraid
16:35of a challenge.
16:36And life,
16:39just like business,
16:41it's going to keep
16:42throwing us
16:43these curveballs.
16:44Yeah?
16:46But it's how we adapt,
16:48how we cope with them,
16:50that defines who we are.
16:55I'm adapting.
16:55I've got strategies
16:58in place.
17:01Methods to help me
17:02remember things.
17:05Breathing
17:05to help me focus.
17:08Eh?
17:08And I exercise now.
17:10Ha, ha, ha.
17:11Oh, who'd have thought that, eh?
17:12Me at the gym.
17:13The only spandex
17:15they ever wore
17:16before that
17:16was them
17:16hold it all
17:17in knickers
17:18on a night out.
17:20Mary's laughing,
17:21she knows
17:21what I'm on about.
17:26So, if you were
17:27to ask me today,
17:28Debbie,
17:28how are you?
17:30I'd say, yeah.
17:32I'm great, me.
17:32I'm tickety-boo.
17:35I've got a job
17:35I love
17:36and I'm still working
17:37and I'm getting
17:40married soon.
17:41Yeah?
17:42Finally.
17:44To a wonderful man.
17:48Yeah.
17:50Yes, her life's good.
17:57But I'm not daft.
18:02I know
18:03it's going to get
18:05really hard.
18:07I know
18:08what's coming.
18:11Because
18:11this is a disease
18:14of losing things.
18:18First your purse,
18:20then the ability
18:21to remember
18:22appointments,
18:24somebody's name
18:24you've known
18:25for years.
18:29And then eventually
18:30I'm going to lose
18:30all this.
18:32Everything I've built
18:34up from nowt.
18:36do you know what it's
18:42made me realise
18:43more than anything?
18:47I'm going to lose
18:48my connection
18:48to all the people
18:53that I love.
18:56My friends.
18:59Some of them are here today
19:00and I've known them
19:01for years,
19:02Sally.
19:03Glenda.
19:05Leanne.
19:07We fight like cat and dog
19:09but we love each other
19:10really.
19:10all my family.
19:13All my family.
19:16My husband.
19:20Then I'll lose me.
19:24I'll lose myself.
19:26But that
19:30is not yet.

20:32with Royce.
20:33He said it was
20:34nothing to worry about.
20:35Yeah, well he would,
20:35wouldn't he?
20:36He'd rather deflect
20:37than talk about himself.
20:38Eh, he's not the only one.
20:40Well,
20:41what if it's serious?
20:43A health issue?
20:44I don't think it is.
20:45Well, has he had
20:46anything in the post?
20:48Well,
20:49come to think of it
20:49he was a bit tense
20:50this morning
20:51after he opened it.
20:52Right, well we need to check.
20:54What do you mean?
20:55Like,
20:55open 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
21:01ask for forgiveness
21:02than permission.
21:04Shona,
21:05no.
21:06Nina,
21:06customer.

21:39of talking,
21:39Lisa.
21:39But I love you.
21:50Yeah,
21:51it looked like it.
21:53When you were putting
21:54the tree up with Becky,
21:55I saw you.
21:57Very cute.
21:59You know the situation,
22:01which is what makes
22:02this all so hard.
22:04But I can't watch you
22:05fight yourself anymore,
22:07okay?
22:08I can't let you
22:09break my heart.
22:10So,
22:11so you're breaking mine.
22:16Maybe we're breaking
22:17each other's.
22:21I won't be in touch
22:22about my stuff.
22:28Oh,
22:29you beggy,
22:29you have me,
22:30you bitch.
22:30You've seen mascara.
22:32If I wore mascara,
22:33which I don't need
22:34with these lashes,
22:35it would be running
22:37too.
22:38I can't believe
22:39I missed it.
22:40It really was
22:41a beautiful speech.
22:43Can you give us
22:43a potted version?
22:45You don't expect me
22:46to remember it,
22:46do you?
22:47She talks about
22:48her diagnosis.
22:50Hey,
22:50good for you,
22:51Kate.
22:52Yeah,
22:52well,
22:52it wasn't planned,
22:53but I'm not sorry.
22:55In fact,
22:55I feel quite powerful.
22:57Hey,
22:57you should be.
22:58Ladies,

23:00introduce you to...
23:01Hey,

23:26his letters.
23:27What,
23:27could be important?
23:28Yeah,
23:28well,
23:28they can't be
23:28from the hospital
23:29because the NHS
23:30letters are always blue.
23:31All right,
23:31well,
23:31maybe it's
23:31something else then.
23:32Hey,

23:39comfortable with this.
23:40Alice?
23:41Alice?
23:42How dare you?
23:44Roy,
23:44I tried to stop her.
23:45We were worried about you.
23:46How dare you
23:47invade my privacy
23:48like this?
23:49Give me a look.
23:52Hi,
23:52Ralph.

23:54the account details?
23:55I did,

24:02went down a storm.
24:03Yeah,
24:03yeah,
24:04it did actually.
24:05See,
24:06knew you'd rinse it.
24:08And I booked
24:08a date for the wedding,
24:10March the 5th.
24:12Can't wait.
24:13Good.
24:15Because I want
24:15you to give me away.
24:18Me?
24:19Er,
24:20what about Kevin?
24:22I'd like you both
24:23to walk me down the aisle.
24:25You think you'd go for it?
24:27Well,
24:27he'll have to.
24:29You mean the world
24:29to me,
24:30Carl.
24:32Really?
24:33Yeah.
24:34More than you'll ever know.
24:37Hey.
24:39Oh,
24:39did Todd not go to London
24:41after all?
24:42How do you mean?
24:43Well,
24:43I've just seen someone
24:43in your flat.
24:44The shutters were moving.
24:46All right.
24:47Did you,
24:47um,
24:48see who it was?
24:48No.
24:49I buzzed up,
24:50but no one answered.
24:52I assumed it was Todd,
24:53but why wouldn't he answer?
24:54And why were the shutters closed?
24:56Yeah,
24:56what if someone's broken up?
24:57Trying to hate what they're doing.
24:58I didn't even think that.
25:00Well,
25:00let's find out.
25:01Come on.
25:01Er,
25:01no,
25:02it's all right.
25:02Listen,
25:02I'll,
25:02I'll go.
25:03Yeah,
25:03well,
25:03you'll lead back up.
25:04I can handle me,
25:05sure.
25:05Mate,
25:05you're not walking in there
25:06on your own.
25:06Well,
25:07listen,
25:07let me go first,
25:08then.
25:08Yeah.
25:23So,
25:24I always say,
25:26okay,
25:27a woman
25:27is like a teabag.
25:30Do you always say that?
25:31Oh,
25:31wow.
25:31Yeah,
25:32you squeeze her dry
25:33and then chuck her in the bin.
25:34I know the feeling.
25:34No,
25:36you never know
25:37how strong she is
25:38until you put her in hot water.
25:41Oh,
25:42I used to say
25:43inspirational stuff like that
25:45in my speeches,
25:46you know,
25:46when I was very high open politics.
25:48All right,
25:49Rachel Reeves,
25:50have a night off.
25:53I very nearly became an MP
25:55in Andalusia
25:57and I've never touched sangria since.
26:00Who ordered a long,
26:04slow lick up the lake?
26:05Oh,
26:05you know,
26:07I'm a bit disappointed.
26:08It's only a drink.
26:10Excuse me,
26:10is my ding-a-ling-a-ting-a
26:12on its way?
26:13Or is that just the way
26:13that you're sitting?
26:14No,
26:20no,
26:20no,
26:20no,
26:20no.
26:22You,
26:23young lady.
26:24Oh,
26:24I like that,
26:25young.
26:26Are you sure
26:27you've not got dementia?
26:29You,
26:30young lady,
26:30you
26:31are one of the strongest,
26:33right?
26:34So here
26:34is to Debbie.
26:36Aw.
26:37Aw.
26:37To Debbie.
26:40Hey,
26:41Glenda,
26:42I think Alfredo's
26:43taking a bit of a shine to you,
26:44you know.
26:45I wondered why he kept
26:47looking over.
26:48Oh,
26:48can he,
26:49can he see this far over though?
26:50I thought he failed his driving test
26:52because he couldn't see
26:53that registration plate.
26:54Oh,
26:54no.
26:55Well done.
26:56Right,
26:57I'm going to go and powder my nose.
26:58Excuse it.
26:59I hope that's not a euphemism.
27:02Hey,
27:02I am so sorry
27:03that I missed your speech,
27:05hon,
27:05but
27:05I'm really chuffed
27:06that you've,
27:08you know,
27:08come out.
27:09Oh,
27:10hey,
27:10I have,
27:10haven't I?
27:11I'll be on a float next
27:12at Dementia Pride.
27:15The face of vascular
27:16whatnots.
27:19I'll have to give him a ring.
27:21See you.
27:23I'm afraid of.
27:28Stay clear of Glenda.
27:30Why?
27:31She's been whiffy
27:32around the pits.
27:34She don't believe in washing.
27:35Sorry?
27:36Eight years in Holloway,
27:37you'd think she'd know
27:38how to use a bar of soap,
27:39couldn't she?
27:50What the hell
27:51do you think you're playing at?
27:52You idiot.
27:53Look,
27:54we'll have to pretend
27:54we've been burgled.
27:56Take that.
27:56Get in the bedroom now
27:57and don't make a sound.
27:58I'm so sorry.
27:59Just get in there.
28:00Quick.
28:01Uh, yeah,
28:05you can come up, guys.
28:06Coast clear.
28:07There's no-one here.
28:08It'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
28:31with a woman
28:31I've been corresponding with.
28:34It's Alice.
28:36She wrote to thank me
28:37for communicating with her son,
28:40and, uh,
28:41we continued to exchange letters.
28:45And, uh,
28:46we discovered that we,
28:47we had certain things in common.
28:50And then, uh,
28:52today,
28:52a further letter arrived.
28:56Is she dead?
28:57She's not died, I say.
28:58No, no, no, no.
29:03The further letter
29:04has distinctly
29:06romantic undertones.
29:10And it's completely
29:11knocked me for six.
29:13Right, so come on, Debs.
29:15Is the wedding booked
29:17or what?
29:18Well, I am getting there,
29:19Bernardina Weiner.
29:20Yes, I am getting there.
29:22Now, I've just booked myself
29:24a trendy young wedding planner.
29:27A bit wet around the gills,
29:28but I'm hoping with youth
29:30comes, um,
29:32you know,
29:32funky ideas.
29:34Because, as you know,
29:36funky,
29:37my middle name.
29:38You know,
29:38I've always longed to get married.
29:40You know,
29:41a big meringue dress
29:41and big meringue cake thingy.
29:44You could just
29:45cut out the middle man
29:46and just make a big load of meringue.
29:49Might be more realistic,
29:50you know.
29:51Yeah, I wonder
29:52if I've left it too late.
29:53Oh, no,
29:54never say never.
29:55You never know.
29:56Mr. Wright
29:57might be just round the corner.
29:58or behind a bar
30:01making cocktails.
30:04He seems to have stopped
30:05looking over now.
30:06Oh, has he?
30:08Go and ask him out, Glenda.
30:09Go on.
30:10I dare you.
30:12Oh, go on.
30:12What have you got to lose?
30:13Do you want me dignity?
30:15You'd have to locate it first.
30:16Well, if you don't,
30:18I will.
30:18Oh, hashtag
30:19don't tell Timothy.
30:21Oh, the Glenda.
30:23OK, then.
30:24Yes!
30:25Oh!
30:27Oh!
30:28Oh!
30:29Come on, can you?
30:31Go on!
30:31Go on!
30:32She's got it!
30:32Go on!
30:34She's got it!
30:36Yeah, so I think
30:38they've taken their laptop
30:38and a few other bits and bobs.
30:40They haven't made much of a mess,
30:41have they?
30:42Hmm.
30:43They didn't, like,
30:44do your ironing
30:44and put a quiche in the oven,
30:45did they?
30:47You must have scared them off
30:48somewhere when you buzzed up.
30:49Do you think?
30:50Yeah, otherwise
30:50they'd have taken more.
30:53Actually, the video doorbell
30:54would have caught them
30:55in action, surely?
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
31:00one 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
31:06the front door open again.
31:08He leaves the door open?
31:09Well, sometimes he, um...
31:10Look, sometimes he likes
31:11a drink in the middle
31:12of the afternoon,
31:12so let's just say, er...
31:14I bet he wasn't in the right mind
31:15when he locked up for London.
31:17He doesn't sound like Todd.
31:18You'd be surprised, Summer.
31:21Anyway, listen, guys,
31:22I can take it from here,
31:23so I've got to go
31:23to the police station
31:24myself, so listen,
31:24I'll see you out.
31:25Thanks ever so much.
31:26Great neighbours.
31:27Really appreciate it.
31:39Holloway present?
31:41You what?
31:42She told the mixologist
31:43I've just been released
31:44from Holloway.
31:46Did you?
31:47Hang on, which one
31:48are we talking about?
31:49Also, Tina.
31:50Ah, ah, ah, ah.
31:51Call me Tina.
31:53If anyone really
31:54needs a wash around here,
31:55it's you.
31:55Ah, sorry.
31:56Do you know,
31:56I don't mind Chrissie,
31:57but I'm not handling Tina.
31:58Come on, have a nice.
31:59Ah, so here,
32:00have one on me.
32:01Oh, my God.
32:06What's happening left?
32:10Oh, the newsflash.
32:12You know Joan Rivers.
32:13Oi.
32:14Right, ladies, stop lowering the tone in my hotel. Folk a-watching.
32:20I'm sorry, Debbie, but it's her. She told the barman I refused to wash.
32:24What did you say that for?
32:26She said, I stand.
32:31Right, come on, ladies, let's ship-shape, we're off.
32:33Oh, wow, where are we going?
32:35Back to mine. I'm a bit of a celebrity in here, aren't I?
32:38And we need a bit of privacy, so we'll call off and get some alcoholic beverages.
32:43My treat.
32:46Oh, Mary, can you pass me green mat?
32:48Damn, I have my eye on this.
32:50Right, come on, ladies, you know what we're going to do?
32:52Hold each other up tonight. Yeah, we're not going for the jugular.
32:55No, follow thy leader.
32:59You know what, you 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, then you just say,
33:10I'm sorry, but you've got to move on.
33:13I'm not sure I can be that articulate.
33:16Oh, you can.
33:18No, 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, so I'm going to go make us one.
33:28And I'm going to get a pad and a pen, and together we're going to write to Alice, yeah?
33:32Oh, good thinking, Dean's.
33:34And for 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. It's going to be half an hour.
33:43Oh, you're joking.
33:44Sounds like a-timering.
33:45Oh, stuff that for a game of soldiers.
33:47I cannot clicky-clack one step further in these heels.
33:50Me bunions are throbbing.
33:52Right, someone will have to push me.
33:54Oh!
33:55Oh!
33:56Oh!
33:57Oh!
33:58Oh!
33:59Oh!
34:00Oh!
34:01Oh!
34:02Oh!
34:03Oh!
34:04Oh!
34:05This is a little bit common.
34:06Oh, no!
34:07Common!
34:08Sally Seddon, I remember you in miniskirts on PVC rainmacks.
34:14And an eel on your love bites.
34:16Oh!
34:17Oh!
34:18Don't you talk to me about common.
34:20Oh, I'm misremembering.
34:21I'm a mack-off now.
34:23Right, come on, ladies.
34:25Right, come on.
34:26Right, come on.
34:27Come on, Bern.
34:28Yes, yes, yes.
34:29Don't worry.
34:30No, no, no, no, no, no.
34:33Oops.
34:34Edgy thump.
34:35Uh-oh.
34:53I don't think there's much damage, mate.
34:58You all rick a booze.
35:00Oh, that's my signature scent.
35:02I mean, a lot of people mistake it for whiskey, but oh, no.
35:06It's my eau de printemps.
35:08Yeah, 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.
35:15Oh!
35:16Oh, as former man, there is nothing disorderly about me.
35:20No, me.
35:21Mia Copa.
35:24Officer.
35:25This is all down to yours truly, yes.
35:29Debbie Webster.
35:30Weatherfield West Businesswoman of the Year.
35:33Two years rumming.
35:35Would have been three.
35:37Only, uh, there was vote rigging by that sunbed place.
35:41On the parade.
35:42Now is the winter of our discount time.
35:51You see, the thing is, officer.
35:55I'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,
36:08they'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.
36:30Sorry.
36:35Before I tell you what's wrong with me,
36:40and if you don't believe me,
36:42you can ring the health centre on Rosamond 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?
37:00You'd call...
37:01I'll tell you what you'd call it.
37:02You'd call it a medical condition.
37:04Oh, go on then.

37:06I've got me feet are killing me itis.
37:08And I can't get back to this.
37:11Very funny.

37:40Whoop, whoop.
37:41I am so, so sorry.

38:47Well...
38:48No, I did.
38:50I know, cos I just want everything to be back to normal, but I know it's not going to happen overnight.
38:56You know, I was really worried about coming home.

39:37I know me own son's a copper, but why do I always get an overwhelming feeling?
39:49I want to slap him when I see him in the wild.
39:53Oh, Dad.
39:54You'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 and wave your diagnosis in his face.
40:03I thought the same thing.
40:05We're like twins, Lily.
40:07I'm getting very cheeky in my mature years.
40:10Like he believed you in the first place.
40:12Oh, exactly.

40:19Er, no.
40:20Neither am I.

41:19Yeah, erm, you've just got to make do, haven't you?

42:08Right, see if she likes it,
42:10especially now she and Carla are taking a nosedive.
42:13Yeah, I know, but that might only be temporary.
42:16It might do her good.
