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,
00:34there's a few things I've learnt.
00:38Top of the list...
00:42Oh, damn it.
00:44Why don't you just read it? No-one will mind.
00:47It's two milky coffees.
00:50I ordered a black one, did I? Did I?
00:53I'm sorry, Roy, my head's all over the shop.
00:55No, you definitely did. My mistake, I'll rectify.
00:58Bye.
01:00I don't think I should be doing this speech today.
01:03Of course you should.
01:05Do you want me to beat her?
01:07No, it's a women-only event.
01:10You do look good in your 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?
01:21Erm, I really need to get into those accounts
01:23and you've still not given me the details.
01:25Oh, let's not do numbers right now.
01:28Thanks, Roy.
01:29I've got a head full of words
01:31and after I've finished this coffee,
01:33I'm off to register the wedding.
01:36So, it's a busy, busy day.
01:38And you're totally on top of it.
01:40Come and find me at the hotel later, yeah?
01:43We'll sort it then.
01:44And just think, once you give me those login details,
01:46there'll be one less thing for you to worry about.
01:48What time are you on site?
01:56Er...
01:58About an hour.
02:00Are you going to be all right on your own?
02:02I'm going to go and see Summer anyway.
02:05Is that wise?
02:07She collapsed yesterday.
02:09I 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?
02:17But what if she don't believe you?
02:20Why wouldn't she?
02:22Well, because she's got Billy in her ear, hasn't she?
02:24And he hates me.
02:25Not this again.
02:26Look, I don't want people jumping to the wrong conclusions.
02:31Not the right conclusions.
02:35Sorry?
02:36Nothing.
02:39Look, 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...
03:00I don't know.
03:01Just 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.
03:14I just, you know...
03:16I know this is shaking you up.
03:18As it has me.
03:19And I just want to be able to help you recover.
03:23You know, without people sticking their o' in.
03:26Okay, then.
03:28Babe.
03:32And, er...
03:33I'll get you a takeaway for tea.
03:35There's a thanks, eh?
03:37Something fatty and greasy.
03:38Yeah?
03:39Just this once.
03:41All right.
03:42See you later.
03:44All right.
03:45See you later.
03:51So, I've got all her favourite things.
03:53Okay, let's just, er...
03:54Hope that she's hungry.
03:55Let's, er...
03:57Honey, what if she's not?
03:58Because I don't really want us to feel, like, overwhelmed.
04:01What?
04:02Buy a few crisps?
04:03No, you are right.
04:04You're always right.
04:05Because I'm overthinking, right?
04:06Mm.
04:07Overthinking is the art of solving problems that don't exist.
04:10Mm.
04:11I read that recently.
04:12No, it's very good.
04:13And it's, er...
04:15You're welcome.
04:16Right, and I have got her favourite furry blanket.
04:18So she can, er...
04:19You know, snuggle if she really wants...
04:22Goddammit!
04:23What have I done here?
04:24Have I got time to wash this again?
04:25No, just calm down.
04:26The only thing that's gonna stress her out is you being stressed.
04:29No, no, but honey, I just want everything to be...
04:31perfect.
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.
04:41Yes.
04:42Now, big deep breaths, okay?
04:43Yeah.
04:44In through the nose.
04:45Out through the mouth.
04:46Boom.
04:47In through the nose.
04:48Out through the mouth.
04:49Oh, good.
04:50In through the nose.
04:52Out through the mouth.
04:53I just need to put the sending candle by her bed, so let's just...
04:55Keep it together, keep it together.
04:56Keep it together, keep it together.
04:57Keep it together, keep it together, keep it together.
04:59Keep it together.
05:01Good morning, love.
05:08Carla's moved out, hasn't she?
05:14And don't lie, her toothbrush has gone and so has the nice moisturiser that she always
05:19accuses me of nicking.
05:20You do, do you?
05:21Have you split up?
05:30We're just having some time apart.
05:35But you've not split up?
05:36I don't know.
05:37Maybe.
05:38Why?
05:39Is it because I'm mobile?
05:40Your mobile coffee shop is here and don't worry, it's not from Roy's.
05:42Did you know Carla had moved out?
05:43Yeah.
05:44And I worry.
05:45It's my fault.
05:46Whatever you think, I didn't want this to happen.
05:50Maybe you could talk to her.
05:51I don't think that's a good idea.
05:52No, it definitely isn't.
05:53I just want you to be happy, Lise.
05:54I'm a far cry from that, aren't I?
05:55Excuse me.
06:08a good idea. No, it definitely isn't. Just want you to be happy, Lise. I'm a far cry
06:16from that, aren't I? Excuse me. Is that Prosecco? Yeah. Yeah, it's a cheap one from Costop.
06:30Recognise the taste. Well, I'm taking over the bar and restaurant, so I'll make sure
06:34we do a better job next time. Well, you can get good deals on nicer brands, you know,
06:38and I'd be happy to share that information, and maybe you could do a bit of a promo for
06:44Speed Dial in return. Let's talk. Oh, women in business. Watch and learn. Some of us are
06:50women in business. Excuse me, I used to run my own cosmetics firm, I love you now. Did
06:55you? Yes. What happened? I just got bored. Fancy a bit of a change, you know. Why doesn't
07:02that surprise me? No, I don't mean to be pinned down, you know. I'm a bit of a, a bit of a
07:08free spirit. Is that a free spirit or a free loader?
07:12What? All right, Sarah. How are you? I'm very corporate, Sarah. Well, I'm representing Underworld
07:18Management. Are you Underworld Management? Well, I'm seen as a manager, you know, by the
07:25other machinists. Although, politics is really my thing. Oh, there she goes. Did you know I
07:31used to be the mayor of Weatherfield? I did not. I'm surprised that Debbie didn't ask me
07:35to speak today. She must have forgotten, hadn't we? Yeah. There she is, the star of the show.
07:44Oh, don't. I'm a bag of nerves. Oh, you'll be brilliant. Yeah, of course you will with
07:48all your experience. That's a fizz, a bit of Dutch courage. Oh, no. No, I better not.
07:53Do excuse me, ladies. I've, er, I've just got to go and prepare myself.
07:58Yeah.
08:00I hope she's going to be all right. And if she's not, we're all here to look after her.
08:07Relax, everybody. The professional is here. How are you doing?
08:11Fine, thanks. I meant what I said about taking time off.
08:14And why would I need time off? Well, with the news about the baby, it must be a lot to get
08:17your head around. My head's fine, thank you. And the reason I didn't tell you straight away
08:20is because I don't want wrapping in cotton wool. Now, pass us that salad bowl. It needs filling.
08:24Er, er, it was two ham salad balms. Oh, er, he's tuna. I'm tuna.
08:33Apologies. Hey. My head's fine, but clearly someone's, isn't it?
08:38That's the third order who's messed up this morning. It's not like Roy.
08:41Hey, Roy. Is everything all right? Er...
08:45Are you miles away? Oh, yes. I admit I'm somewhat distracted.
08:50I shall endeavour to, er, focus. Anything you want to talk to us about?
08:54No, thank you. Well, if something's wrong, I want to know.
08:56But, Nina, there is nothing to be concerned about.
09:00No, I simply have things on my mind. There'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.
09:11It's a lovely drop. Yeah.
09:14Hiya, love. Hey, listen. How are you feeling?
09:18Oh, yeah, much better, thanks. What's happened, love?
09:20Oh, I had a hypo. Ah, sorry to hear that.
09:23Yeah, me and Todd were worried about you, you know.
09:25He can't be that worried. We were supposed to meet this morning.
09:28He's off gallivanting in London. Ah, well, he'd done...
09:30Look, he'd forgot he'd arranged it, to be honest. No, I don't mind.
09:33Well, look, he wanted to stay, to be honest. It 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.
09:40I said he should go, have some fun, let her off some steam.
09:44No, I don't blame you. You do right.
09:46I'm glad he's got you looking out for him.
09:50You might remember the lady with over 4,000 dog collars.
09:54Oh, yes, haven't you, for care?
09:56It's not good for your compass. It's not going to add anything.
09:58It's only a thin door, so. Winfrey showers, good vacation, equal.
10:01It was once we came as I was taking yet another cutting from my feet.
10:05Do you know, there's not one political speaker here.
10:14It's a business event, sir.
10:16Yeah, and as mayor of Weatherfield, I've spoken at many events like this.
10:20I had an entertainment do like this.
10:23Purveyor of the pizzazz, that's me.
10:26Pray God, she doesn't burst into sorrow.
10:29Afternoon, ladies.
10:30It's afternoon.
10:31Er, Deb.
10:35What?
10:35I'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. Sorry for interrupting.
10:45And don't be stressed, OK? You're going to be great.
10:54Hiya, are you OK?
10:55Good afternoon, ladies, and welcome to the 4th Annual Weatherfield West Women in Business Conference.
11:07My name is Marianne, and I run a company that promotes women in the workplace.
11:13Hooray!
11:14Today, I will be introducing a fabulous array of speakers just for you.
11:21Without further ado, here's our first speaker, Fiona.
11:23Oh, yes, she really is.
11:29Welcome home.
11:31Welcome home, darling.
11:32Thanks.
11:34Right, now we have got all your favourite snacks, OK?
11:37Chilli crisps.
11:38Yeah, I'm all right for now, thanks.
11:40Are you sure?
11:41OK, listen, you don't have to have anything if you don't want to.
11:42I'm going to put it all away again.
11:44Now, perhaps you just want to, um, put your feet up on the sofa.
11:48Fluffy blanket.
11:49Look, I've just put the kettle on.
11:53Bet you're desperate for a proper brew, aren't you?
11:55Yeah, I really am.
11:57Are you sure you don't want to have a little lie down?
12:00Dad, I've done enough lying down the past few weeks.
12:02Understood.
12:04Just want to get back to normal.
12:05You know, darling, that is such a relief to hear.
12:09Because I was telling Bernie just how you were helping someone.
12:11She was amazing.
12:13I mean, I'm so pleased that you're not giving up wanting to be a paramedic.
12:17I didn't say that.
12:18Well, I know, honey, but you said you wanted to get back to normal.
12:21Well, yeah.
12:22Yeah, being back at home normal.
12:25You know, with people treating me normally, not throwing blankets at me.
12:30Honey.
12:31Honey.
12:36You see that?
12:38I mean, she's in the house in less than two minutes and I managed to mess things up.
12:41Do 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.
12:54I'm just going to have to fix it.
13:12Sorry, I'm late.
13:13Can you take a moment to thank some of our sponsors?
13:15Preston's Petals for all your floral fancies.
13:17But if you do wait, following Tracy's instructions, Preston's Petals for all your floral fancies.
13:23The Catering designed the pliers of...
13:25Oh, let me sit down.
13:26And all the Catering's been free courtesy of the Chariot Square Hotel.
13:31And now for our next speaker, a businesswoman who I admire greatly, who in fact owns this
13:50very hotel.
13:51Well, so please put your hands together and welcome a Weatherfield West Businesswoman of
13:58the Year, Miss Debbie Webster.
14:00Ladies, 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 learned,
14:20and I'd like to share them with you.
14:23Firstly...
14:25Firstly...
14:29Firstly...
14:33Oh.
14:38Just hang on a minute.
14:41It's my passport.
15:03Should I go over?
15:06Maybe I should take care of that.
15:07No, no.
15:08Just give her a minute.
15:09There.
15:10I've been diagnosed with young onset dementia, by the way.
15:11Although, to be fair, I could never remember my passcode at the best of times, so...
15:25I wasn't going to talk about this today, but you know what, maybe I should.
15:35Because this illness is certainly going to test all the business skills I've learnt over
15:39the years.
15:42Mm-hmm.
15:43And I've had many strings to me, Beau.
15:46Yeah.
15:47Before I moved into property, I was a hairdresser.
15:49Ooh!
15:50I've just remembered now what I wanted to tell you, yeah.
15:54So, first on my list, number one.
15:58Never underestimate the power of a good hairdo.
16:03When 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.
16:16I've no idea what number two was, but with hair like this, who cares?
16:21So, here I am, a woman in business, with dementia.
16:30Now, that was a shock.
16:33I had to sit down and take the weight off my false eyelashes for a while with that news.
16:39But I have never been afraid of a challenge.
16:43And life, just like business, it's going to keep throwing us these curveballs.
16:50Yeah?
16:52But it's how we adapt.
16:53How we cope with them that defines who we are.
16:57I'm adapting.
17:01I've got strategies in place.
17:06Methods to help me remember things.
17:09Breathing to help me focus.
17:13Eh?
17:14And I exercise now.
17:15Who'd have thought that, eh?
17:18Me at the gym.
17:19The only spandex I ever wore before that was them old-it-talling knickers on a night out.
17:25Mary's laughing.
17:26She knows what I'm on about.
17:28So, if you were to ask me today, Debbie, how are you?
17:34I'd say, yeah.
17:37I'm great, me.
17:38I'm tickety-boo.
17:39I've got a job I love.
17:42And I'm still working.
17:44And I'm getting married soon.
17:47Yeah?
17:48Finally.
17:50To a wonderful man.
17:53Yeah.
17:56Yes, a life's good.
18:02But I'm not daft.
18:04I know it's going to get really hard.
18:13I know what's coming.
18:17Because this is a disease of losing things.
18:24First your purse, then the ability to remember appointments.
18:29Somebody's name you've known for years.
18:35And then eventually I'm going to lose all this.
18:38Everything I've built up from nowt.
18:44But...
18:45Do you know what it's made me realise?
18:50More than anything.
18:53I'm going to lose my connection.
18:57To all the people that I love.
19:02My friends.
19:05Some of them are here today and I've known them for years.
19:07Sally.
19:09Glenda.
19:11Leanne.
19:13We fight like cat and dog but we love each other really.
19:17All my family.
19:22My husband.
19:26Then I'll lose me.
19:27I'll lose myself.
19:30I'll lose myself.
19:34But that...
19:36Is not yet.
19:37Or not.
19:39And I...
19:41I'm going to...
19:43I'm going to cling on
19:45To all those moments of...
19:47Triumph.
19:49Joy and happiness I can
19:51Before this god-awful disease takes over.
19:53And when it does.
19:55I will face it.
19:56Head on.
19:58Like the sassy business woman I am.
20:01Because you know why?
20:03I know who I am today.
20:05Oh yes.
20:07I...
20:09Am Debbie Webster.
20:11I'm sharp.
20:13Confident.
20:14In control.
20:15And I will not go down without a fight.
20:17APPLAUSE
20:37Summit's up with Royce.
20:39He said it was nothing to worry about.
20:41Yeah, well he would, wouldn't he?
20:42He'd rather deflect than talk about himself.
20:44Eh? He's not the only one.
20:46Well...
20:48What if it's serious?
20:49A health issue?
20:50I...
20:51I don't think it is.
20:52Well, has he had anything in the post?
20:54Well...
20:55Come to think of it, he was a bit tense this morning after he opened it.
20:58Right, well we need to check.
21:00What do you mean? Like, open his post?
21:03Yeah.
21:04We can't do that.
21:05Why not?
21:06He'll go mad.
21:07Well, what's that saying?
21:08It's better to ask for forgiveness than permission.
21:10Shona.
21:11No.
21:12Customer.
21:17Yeah, 3pm works for me.
21:19That's fine, I'll see you tomorrow.
21:20OK.
21:25Hi.
21:26Go and see you two flats tomorrow.
21:29Erm...
21:30So hopefully, I'll be able to get my stuff soon.
21:35Fast work?
21:36Well, I need somewhere to live.
21:42Can we just talk?
21:44We've done a lot of talking, Lisa.
21:45But I love you.
21:56Yeah, it looked like it.
21:59When you were putting the tree up with Becky, I saw you.
22:03Very cute.
22:04You know the situation.
22:06Which is what makes this all so hard.
22:09But I can't watch you fight yourself anymore, OK?
22:14I can't let you break my heart.
22:16So...
22:18So you're breaking mine.
22:22Maybe we're breaking each other's.
22:27I won't be in touch if I must stop.
22:28Would you have had my stuff?
22:34Oh, you beg, he had me in bits for seeing mascara.
22:38If I wore mascara, which I don't need with these lashes,
22:42it would be running too hard.
22:44I can't believe I missed it.
22:46It really was a beautiful sponge.
22:49Can you give us a potted version?
22:51You don't expect me to remember it, do you?
22:54She talks about her diagnosis.
22:56Eh, good for you, kid.
22:58Yeah, well, it wasn't planned, but I'm not sorry.
23:01In fact, I feel quite powerful.
23:03Hey, you should, Becky.
23:05Ladies, allow me to introduce you to...
23:07Hey!
23:09Alfredo. Now there's a name I can't forget.
23:12How are you doing, Chuckie, eh?
23:14I'm grand, thanks, Deb. Looking sharp as ever.
23:16Thank you. I know.
23:18This is our master mixologist, everyone.
23:21And he will cater to your every request.
23:24Well then, then.
23:28Shona, put them back.
23:30Don't you wanna know what's wrong?
23:31Yeah, but not by reading his letters.
23:33What? Could be important.
23:34Yeah, well, they can't be from the hospital because the NHS letters are always blue.
23:37Alright, well, maybe it's something else then.
23:39Hey, hey, hey, pink envelope, handwritten, screams woman.
23:43Shona, please just put them back. I really don't feel comfortable with this.
23:45Alice? Alice?
23:48How dare you?
23:50Roy, I tried to stop her. We were worried about you.
23:53How dare you invade my privacy like this?
23:58Hi, Ralph.
23:59Did you get the account details?
24:01I did, thanks. Put everything back.
24:03Great, and you've paid all the suppliers.
24:04Yep, doing it now.
24:06So, I heard that your speech went down a storm.
24:09Yeah. Yeah, it did actually.
24:11See? Knew you'd rinse it.
24:13And I booked a date for the wedding.
24:16March the 5th.
24:17Can't wait.
24:18Good.
24:20Because I want you to give me away.
24:23Me?
24:25Er, what about Kevin?
24:28I'd like you both to walk me down the aisle.
24:31You think he'd go for it?
24:32Well, he'll have to.
24:34You mean the world to me, Carl.
24:37Really?
24:39Yeah.
24:40More than you'll ever know.
24:42Hey.
24:44Oh, did Todd not go to London after all?
24:47What do you mean?
24:48Well, I've just seen someone in your flat.
24:50The shutters were moving.
24:52All right.
24:53Did you, um, see who it was?
24:54No.
24:55I buzzed up, but no-one answered.
24:58I assumed it was Todd, but why wouldn't he answer?
25:00And why were the shutters closed?
25:02Yeah, what if someone's broken in?
25:03Trying to hate what they're doing.
25:04I didn't even think of that.
25:06Well, let's find out. Come on.
25:07Er, no, it's all right. Listen, I'll go.
25:09Yeah, when you lead back up.
25:10I can handle your shop.
25:11Mate, you're not walking in there on your own.
25:12Er, well, listen, er, let me go first, though.
25:14Yeah.
25:30So, I always say, okay,
25:33a woman is like a tea bag.
25:36Do you always say that?
25:37Oh, wow.
25:38Yeah, you squeeze her dry and then chuck her in the bin.
25:40I know the feeling.
25:41Oh, what?
25:42No.
25:43You never know how strong she is
25:45until you put her in hot water.
25:47Oh, I used to say inspirational stuff like that in my speeches, you know,
25:52when I was very high open politics.
25:54All right, Rachel Reeves, have a night off.
25:59I very nearly became an MP in Andalusia and I've never touched sangria since.
26:06I've never seen it.
26:09Who ordered a long, slow lick up the left?
26:11Oh, sweetheart.
26:13You know, I'm a bit disappointed.
26:14It's only a drink.
26:16Oh, cool.
26:17Excuse me, is my ding-a-ling-a-tingler on its way?
26:19No.
26:20Or is that just the way that you're sitting?
26:21No, no, no, no.
26:22I'm not.
26:23I'm not.
26:24I'm not.
26:25I'm not.
26:26I'm not.
26:27I'm not.
26:28You, young lady.
26:30Oh, I like that, young.
26:32Are you sure you've not got dementia?
26:35You, young lady.
26:36Yeah.
26:37You are one of the strongest, right?
26:40So here is to Debbie.
26:42Aw.
26:43Aw.
26:44To Debbie!
26:47Hey, Glenda, I think Alfredo's taking a bit of a shine to you.
26:50A bit of a shine to you, you know?
26:51Mm.
26:52I wondered why he kept looking over.
26:54Oh.
26:55Can he?
26:56Can he see this far over there?
26:57I thought he failed his driving test because he couldn't see that registration plate.
27:00Oh!
27:02Right.
27:03I'm gonna go and powder my nose.
27:04Excuse it.
27:06I hope that's not a euphemism.
27:09Hey, I am so sorry that I missed your speech, hon, but...
27:12I'm really chuffed that you've, you know, come out.
27:15Oh, hey.
27:16I have, haven't I?
27:17Yeah.
27:18I'll be on the floor next at Dementia Pride.
27:21The face of vascular what-nots.
27:25I'll have to give him a ring.
27:28See you.
27:29All right.
27:30I'm afraid him.
27:35Stay clear of Glenda.
27:36Why?
27:37She's a bit whiffy around the pits.
27:40She don't believe in washing.
27:41Sorry?
27:42Eight years in Holloway.
27:43You'd think she'd know how to use a bar of soap, couldn't you?
27:45Oh!
27:57What the hell do you think you're playing at?
27:58You idiot!
27:59Look, what if we pretend we've been burgled?
28:01Take that.
28:02Get in the bedroom now and don't make a sound.
28:04I am so sorry.
28:05Just get in there!
28:06Quick!
28:10Er, yeah, you can come up, guys.
28:12Coal's clear.
28:13There's no one here.
28:20It's a gross invasion of privacy, interfering with someone's correspondence.
28:24Well, there's something wrong.
28:26Yeah, what is the matter, Roy?
28:27I mean, you can tell us.
28:29Well, Nina knows something of this.
28:34I've formed a strong bond with a woman I've been corresponding with.
28:41It's Alice.
28:43She wrote to thank me for communicating with her son.
28:47And we continued to exchange letters.
28:51And we discovered that we had certain things in common.
28:56And then, today, a further letter arrived.
29:03Is she dead?
29:04She's not died, has she?
29:05No, no, no, no.
29:09The further letter has distinctly romantic undertones.
29:16And it's completely knocked me for six.
29:18Right, so come on, Debs.
29:22Is the wedding booked, or what?
29:24Well, I am getting there, Bernardina Wiener.
29:27Yes, I am getting there.
29:29Now, I've just booked myself a trendy young wedding planner.
29:33A bit wet around the gills, but I'm hoping with youth comes, um,
29:38you know, funky ideas.
29:41Because, as you know, funky, my middle name.
29:43My middle name.
29:45You know, I've always longed to get married.
29:47You know, big meringue dress and big meringue cake thingy.
29:51Oh, you could just cut out the middle man and just make a big load of meringue.
29:55Might be more realistic.
29:57You know.
29:58Yeah, I wonder if I've left it too late.
30:00Oh, no, never say never.
30:02You never know.
30:03Mr. Wright might be just round the corner.
30:05Or, behind a bar, making cocktails.
30:10He seems to have stopped looking over now.
30:13Oh, has he?
30:15Go and ask him out, Glenda.
30:17Go on, I dare you.
30:19Oh, go on, what have you got to lose?
30:21Do it with me dignity.
30:23You'd have to locate it first.
30:25Well, if you don't, I will.
30:27Oh, hashtag don't tell Timothy.
30:28You've got to blend her.
30:29OK, then.
30:31Yes!
30:32Oh!
30:34Oh!
30:36Go on!
30:37Go on!
30:38Go on!
30:39She's got it!
30:41She's got it!
30:43Yeah, so I think they've taken their laptop and a few other bits and bobs.
30:47They haven't made much of a mess, have they?
30:49They didn't, like, do your ironing and put a quiche in the oven, did they?
30:53You must have scared them off, Summer, when you buzzed up.
30:55Do you think?
30:56Yeah, otherwise they'd have taken more.
30:58Actually, the video doorbell would have caught them in action, surely?
31:02Oh, do you know what? It's not working, that.
31:04How'd they get in there?
31:06I mean, the front door one kicked in or out, was it?
31:08It's true, that.
31:10Do you know what? I'm gonna murder Todd.
31:12I bet he's left the front door open again.
31:14He leaves the door open?
31:15Well, sometimes he...
31:17Look, sometimes he likes to drink in the middle of the afternoon,
31:19so let's just say, er...
31:21I bet he wasn't in the right mind when he locked up for London.
31:22Doesn't sound like Todd.
31:25You'd be surprised, Summer.
31:27Anyway, listen guys, er, I can take it from here,
31:29so I've gotta go to the police station myself, so listen, I'll see y'all.
31:32Thanks ever so much, great neighbours, really appreciate it.
31:34PHONE RINGS
31:46Holloway present?
31:48You what?
31:49She told the mixologist I've just been released from Holloway.
31:52Did you?
31:54Hang on, which one are we talking about?
31:56Also, Tina.
31:58Call me Tina.
32:00If anyone really needs a wash around here, it's you.
32:02Sorry.
32:03Do you know, I don't mind Chrissie, but I'm not handling Tina.
32:05Come on, have a nice.
32:06Oh, so here, have one on me.
32:08CHEERS
32:15What's happening left?
32:17Oh, a newsflash.
32:19You know Joan Rivers.
32:20Oi!
32:21Right, ladies, stop lowering the tone in my hotel.
32:25Folk are watching.
32:26I'm sorry Debbie, but it's her.
32:28She told the barman I refuse to wash.
32:31What'd you say that for?
32:33She said I stand.
32:37Right, come on ladies, let's shipshape, we're off.
32:40Oh, why, where are we going?
32:42Back to mine.
32:43I'm a bit of a celebrity in here, aren't I?
32:45We need a bit of privacy, so we'll call off and get some alcoholic beverages.
32:49My treats.
32:52Oh, Mary, can you pass me green map?
32:54Damn, I have me eye on this.
32:56Right, come on ladies, you know what we're going to do?
32:58Hold each other up tonight.
32:59Yeah, we're not going for the jugular.
33:01No, follow thy leader.
33:05You know what, you just need to be transparent with her.
33:09Tell her that you need to do some expectation management.
33:13And if she can't cope with just being buddies, then you just say I'm sorry, but you've got to move on.
33:19I'm not sure I can be that articulate.
33:22Oh, you can.
33:24No, but the pen enters my hand and my brain goes into a whir.
33:30Right, well you know what I think?
33:31I think we could all do with a brew, so I'm going to go make us one.
33:34And I'm going to get a pad and a pen and together we're going to write to Alice, yeah?
33:39Oh, good thinking, Neens.
33:40And there are no taxis, cos there's no taxis.
33:44There's normally loads of them going up and down here.
33:46No, I'm on the streetcar top, it's going to be half an hour.
33:49Oh, you jolly.
33:50Sounds like a timmering.
33:52Oh, stuff that for a game of soldiers.
33:54I cannot clicky-clack one step further in these heels, me bunions are throbbing.
33:58Right, someone will have to push me.
34:00Oh!
34:01Oh!
34:02Oh!
34:03What a baby!
34:04Get me leg over.
34:05Oh, come on, come on, come on, come on.
34:07That's been a while, right?
34:08Yes.
34:10Don't you think this is a little bit common?
34:12Oh, no.
34:13Sally Seddon, I remember you in miniskirts on PVC rain mats.
34:20And an eel on your love bites.
34:22Oh!
34:23Sally!
34:24Don't you talk to me about common.
34:26Oh, I'm misremembering.
34:27I'm a mad calf now.
34:30Right, come on, ladies.
34:31Come on, come on.
34:32Come on, come on.
34:33Come on, come on.
34:34Come on, come on.
34:35Don't worry.
34:36No, no, no, no, no, no.
34:38Oops.
34:40Ecky thump.
34:41Uh-oh.
35:03I don't think there's much damage, mate.
35:05You all rick a booze.
35:07Oh, that's my signature scent.
35:09I mean, a lot of people mistake it for whiskey, but oh, no.
35:12It's my eau de printemps.
35:14Yeah, there's no law against having a good time, is there?
35:18In the middle of the day.
35:19Maybe I should do you all for disorderly conduct.
35:21Oh!
35:22Oh, as former man, there is nothing disorderly about me.
35:27Nor me.
35:28Mia Copa.
35:31Officer.
35:32This is all down to yours truly, yes.
35:35Debbie Webster.
35:37Weatherfield West Businesswoman of the Year.
35:40Two years roaming.
35:42Would have been three.
35:44Only, er, there was vote rigging by that sunbed place on the parade.
35:49Now is the winter of our discount times.
35:52LAUGHTER
35:54You see, the thing is, officer, I've been going through a lot lately.
36:04Lately, yes.
36:05And now, you don't need to know the, er, the whys and the, the what-fors and the whereaboutses,
36:10but my good friends here, the usual suspects...
36:15LAUGHTER
36:20You've been, you've been trying to, to cheer me up a bit.
36:24And as former mayor, I can confirm that affirmatively.
36:28LAUGHTER
36:29I wasn't mayor.
36:30I can confirm that too.
36:32And I could have been mayor, but I haven't the time.
36:35Not with my social commitments.
36:37LAUGHTER
36:42Sorry.
36:44Before I tell you what's wrong with me, and if you don't believe me,
36:49you can ring the health centre on Rosamond Street.
36:52Ask for Dr Sue Gaddis, or Sue, as I like to call her.
36:55We're on first-name terms.
36:56They're like that.
36:57Aw, yeah, she's lovely Sue.
36:59Do you know her?
37:00Is it Sue?
37:01I didn't know that.
37:02I did.
37:03So, let's just call what I have.
37:06Well, what would you call it, girls?
37:07You'd call...
37:08I'll tell you what you'd call it.
37:09You'd call it a medical condition.
37:11Oh, go on then.
37:12What's wrong with you?
37:13I've got me feet are killing me-itis, and I can't get back to this.
37:16LAUGHTER
37:18Very funny.
37:19I couldn't...
37:20Admire your brass neck.
37:21Go on with you before I change my mind.
37:23Go on.
37:24CHEERING
37:25Hey, it is a medical condition, you know.
37:29Poorly tutsies.
37:30My name's Freddy Krueger.
37:31Hi, hi.
37:32See you, Freddy.
37:33See you, Freddy.
37:34Hi, Freddy.
37:35Not all disabilities are visible, you know.
37:37LAUGHTER
37:38Hey, I'm the face of blisters, me.
37:40LAUGHTER
37:41I should have told him you've got dementia.
37:43Why?
37:44I'm firing on all cylinders, me, today.
37:47Whoop!
37:48Whoop!
37:49Whoop!
37:59I am so, so sorry.
38:01How would we have explained it to Gary and Summer if they'd found you in the flat?
38:04Well, they didn't, Twig, did they?
38:06And that makes all right, then?
38:07Does it?
38:08Hmm?
38:09No.
38:10It doesn't, Todd.
38:11Sid, I'm sorry.
38:12I don't know what else you want me to say.
38:14I've got a pint that needs finishing down the pub.
38:19No more slip-ups.
38:21OK?
38:22You're not even supposed to be here.
38:24All right?
38:38Not really.
38:41Honey, I'm sorry about earlier, you know, my mouth ran away with me again.
38:48But, you know, the last thing I ever want to do is upset you, I promise.
38:51I know.
38:52But I did that, didn't I?
38:54Well...
38:55No, I did.
38:56I know, cos I just want everything to be back to normal, but I know it's not gonna happen
39:03overnight.
39:04You know, I was really worried about coming home.
39:09Oh, no, honey, please don't say that.
39:11No, no, I mean, just...
39:13You know, everyone expects me to be the same old Asher.
39:18Yeah.
39:19You know, the smell for everyone.
39:21A lot of things have changed.
39:24And going back to uni, well, I just...
39:27I don't know if I'm ready to go back to being a paramedic yet.
39:32If ever.
39:33Dad, I'm sorry.
39:34Hey.
39:35Come on.
39:36Come on.
39:37Come on.
39:38I know me own son's a copper, but why do I always get an overwhelming feeling?
39:56I want to slap him when I see him in the wild.
39:59Hold that.
40:00Hold that.
40:01You're a child of the 80s.
40:02Like me.
40:03They were more foe than friend back then.
40:06Hey, I thought you were just gonna come straight out of it and wave your diagnosis in his face.
40:10I thought the same thing.
40:11We're like twins, Lily.
40:13I'm getting very cheeky in my mature years.
40:17Like he'd have believed you in the first place.
40:19Oh, exactly.
40:20I am far too sexy to have a life-limiting condition.
40:23Really?
40:24Are you allergic to strawberries?
40:26Er, no.
40:27Neither am I.
40:28Is there a corkscrew in here?
40:30Cos this one's got a cork in it.
40:32Oi, move away from there, nosy for nosies.
40:34I've got one here.
40:35Hey, I know I sound like a scratch record, but...
40:38So proud of you, Debbie.
40:41Oh, give over!
40:43I won't be able to get me head through me turquoise door at this stage.
40:49Hey, do you have any regrets in life?
40:52I'm not dead yet.
40:53I know, I know.
40:55I know, but do you?
40:56Er, let's see.
40:57Oh, yes.
40:58I very much regret dyeing me air blue for a Manchester City match in 1989.
41:04It were pre-bleached, so me old perm went green.
41:08Like your dog!
41:10And do you regret not having kids?
41:17I mean, I don't, but, you know, a lot of women do.
41:23Oh, life's too short to have regrets.
41:26Yeah, erm, you've just got to make it do, haven't you?
41:29With the cards you dealt.
41:31I'm sure we all wish we'd done more with our lives.
41:33Oh, you've done loads with yours, Sally.
41:36How bad?
41:37Yeah.
41:38He'll cut you faster in.
41:39That's really impressive.
41:40Got more patience than I have.
41:42Or a screw loose.
41:43Yeah, and you've only mentioned 78 times tonight that you used to be Lord Brown.
41:4979, actually!
41:55You see, we're each and every one of us amazing in our own right.
42:01To all us wonderful women.
42:04Aw!
42:05Yeah!
42:06To fabulous women!
42:07To fabulous women!
42:08Cheers!
42:09Nice one, then.
42:10Cheers, Mary.
42:11Clearly.
42:12Hey, you should convince your mum to come to Spain.
42:15I'll see if she likes it, especially now she and Carla are taking a nosedive.
42:20Yeah, I know, but that might only be temporary.
42:23It might do her good.
42:25I don't want to get involved.
42:28You're our daughter.
42:29You are involved.
42:30And think about it.
42:31It might, you know, be exactly the tonic she needs to mend a broken heart.
42:36Walks on the beach, midnight swims.
42:39Oh, best of all...
42:41Tapas?
42:42Yeah.
42:43Who?
42:44Us three.
42:45Back together.
42:46Back together.
42:47That one big happy family.
42:51No, she's Sparco on the sofa, bless her.
42:54Yeah, the others have gone, so, er...
42:56I'm just finishing the tidying up, and then...
42:59And then I'll be back.
43:02Well, so it was a good afternoon, then?
43:04Oh, yeah.
43:05Yeah, it was lovely.
43:08She's amazing, you know.
43:10She's doing really well.
43:15You at home?
43:16Oh, no, no, no.
