00:00Music
00:27Morning campers
00:29You're going to have to speak up.
00:31Oh, stay still.
00:34Give me my meds.
00:35What have I told you about that?
00:37Eh?
00:38Your meds are a privilege, not all right?
00:40Becky, you're playing with my life here, please.
00:43I know.
00:43Fun, isn't it?
00:46There you go.
00:47Yeah, you getting that?
00:50Yep, hints of oak.
00:51Gooseberry.
00:52Magnolia.
00:54Oh, no, sorry.
00:55That was the bottle of your albarino.
00:57You know, me and Lisa drank last night.
01:00And if you were saving it for a special occasion, don't worry.
01:03It was.
01:05Yeah, well, it's not exactly a fair fight, is it?
01:08Sorry?
01:09I mean, you let me out of here, you tell Lisa what you've done,
01:13and let's see if she chooses.
01:15Oh, you think you mean anything to her?
01:17Some confused tourist?
01:19You now put a rebound.
01:21On the scene, five minutes, I'm her wife!
01:25Well, if you're so sure she wants you,
01:29why do you have to hogtie the competition, eh?
01:32I mean, let's face it, me like this,
01:34that's the only way she chooses you, Becky.
01:43You ruined my life!
01:46Shut up!
01:49Shut up!
01:50I thought you had the day off.
01:58Yeah, she does, and we're meant to be going shopping.
02:00I just can't exactly relax with Carla gone.
02:04I'm just trying to decipher her plan for this Mortimer's order.
02:07Well, she's still not answering her emails.
02:08No, no, it's not like her at all, either.
02:11I've just never known a breakup to hit her so hard.
02:13Is this her stuff?
02:15Yeah, I've had to go through her drawers.
02:16She's not left with much to go with.
02:18Right, are we going or not?
02:20Right, you get ready and go, and I'll meet you if I can.
02:23Thanks.
02:29Hill Rhubarb.
02:30This is when she spoke to Costello.
02:32Yeah, I wondered what that meant.
02:35She says he was trying to tell her something.
02:38What, and that's what he's told her?
02:39What does that mean?
02:41Beats me.
02:42What would Megan say?
02:46Sorry?
02:47That cereal's full of sugar.
02:49It's not exactly the breakfast of champagnes, is it?
02:51Yeah, I know.
02:53Look, Dad, can we talk about something?
02:55Yeah.
02:56Right, I'm off.
02:58Where to?
02:59I told you last night, January sales.
03:01Best time of the year.
03:02Actually, see, in my day, the January sales were actually in January.
03:04Well, stop it.
03:05You sound like your mother.
03:07Bye.
03:08Don't spend too much money.
03:11Chance will be a fine thing.
03:13Look, Dad, you're positive it was yours, not this Adam guy's.
03:20You be careful, lad.
03:21I was just asking.
03:23I trust Eva totally.
03:24Yeah, but she still went behind your back.
03:26Yeah, and she explained everything to me, so as far as I'm concerned, that's the end of it.
03:29I'm not the only one with questions.
03:31Yeah, look what that got your nana.
03:32Yeah, in a hotel room, which I also don't agree with.
03:35Well, she was out of order.
03:37Why would you forgive Eva so quickly?
03:38But not even your own mum.
03:42What's going on between you and your nan?
03:44What?
03:46Did she put you up to this?
03:48No.
03:49I need to go.
03:50Yesterday, she wanted a private word with you.
03:51What was that all about?
03:52Nothing.
03:53I need to go, okay?
03:55Bye.
04:01Crikey.
04:01So, the finger food will be out here, and, well, I mean, you can have the rest of the
04:05place to yourself.
04:06Perfect.
04:06Are you sure there's nothing else we can do for you?
04:08No, no, this is just what we wanted, low-key.
04:11Well, happy birthday.
04:12Oh, thank you.
04:15Happy birthday, loving.
04:17Aw, thank you.
04:18Aw, darling.
04:18Happy birthday.
04:20Aw, right, well.
04:22This lap had better start getting a bit of a wriggle on.
04:24How do you mean?
04:25Well, George could be here any second, and they've barely started doing any decorations.
04:29Well, this is it.
04:30This is it?
04:31Yeah.
04:32This is George's 60th birthday.
04:34No, it's actually my birthday today.
04:36His isn't until the new year.
04:38Besides, neither has fancied the fuss.
04:40No, no.
04:41No, love, this won't do.
04:43Just leave it with me.
04:45I'll get him a pen.
04:46Pen?
04:47Oh, God, yeah, what am I thinking?
04:48It's a terrible idea.
04:49He wants a pen for the birthday.
04:52George is just really hard to buy for.
04:54Hey, guys.
04:55Hey.
04:56Oh, it's summer.
04:57I'm glad I've seen you.
04:58Look, I'm sorry again about the film festival.
05:00Oh, Todd, it's fine.
05:02No, look, you put a lot of thought into that present, like you always do.
05:06To be honest, I thought it'd just be nice to hang out.
05:10Well, what are you doing today?
05:12Er, not much, other than George's party later.
05:14On to going into town?
05:16Look, you can help me pick out a present for George, because you're obviously good at that.
05:20Maybe something like the cufflinks that you got for Billy.
05:22You're doing a bit fine, aren't you?
05:23Well, his birthday's not for two weeks.
05:25It's not my fault he's having an early party.
05:27Well, I'm free right now.
05:29Great.
05:30No time like the present.
05:32No.
05:32Pun.
05:34Right, see you at the party.
05:35See you later.
05:36See you later.
05:36In a bit.
05:37Have fun.
05:43Todd seems a bit brighter.
05:47Seems same old Todd to me.
05:48Look, I'll sort it, OK?
05:52But I can't do anything while you're on the phone.
05:55I'll talk to you later.
05:57Yep.
05:58Bye.
06:00Problem?
06:00Oh, Debbie might even know about transport.
06:02What is it with weddings that sends everyone loopy?
06:05Well, they're a big deal, aren't they?
06:07Committing to someone, for better or worse, and all of that.
06:09Hey.
06:15We OK?
06:16Why won't we be?
06:18All that stuff with James.
06:20What goes on between you and James is not to do with me, is it?
06:23I suppose you're right.
06:27So, what have you got on today?
06:29Alfie needs a few bits, so I'm going to head to the sales.
06:33Do you want to come?
06:34Trafford's sent to January sales.
06:36Hmm.
06:37No tar, like me on the way it is.
06:39Mm-hmm.
06:40Suit itself.
06:42Back it off, then.
06:44Hey.
06:55I didn't think I'd let you get away with that.
06:57Not saying a proper goodbye.
07:04Right, I'd best be getting back to work.
07:06Ty, have you booked your taxi for the physio?
07:10Actually, I've decided I'm going to give it a miss today.
07:12You've got to go.
07:13You're coming off the bars.
07:14This is a big day, this.
07:16Yes, but my physio also said that I've got to start listening to my body,
07:19and it's telling me that I need to rest.
07:21You've already missed it once, haven't you?
07:22Last week, when you forgot.
07:25Forgot?
07:26Come on, Ty.
07:27I think this is important.
07:29Right, OK, I'll go.
07:30Get your taxi booked, then.
07:32It's gone, too.
07:33It hasn't, has it?
07:34Oh, yes, I've got to be getting off.
07:38Er, where to?
07:39The, um, party.
07:41You know, the grave digger.
07:43Oh, George, I didn't know you two were friends.
07:46We're not, but it's at the bistro.
07:49So they, um, they do those little blinnies whenever there's a party,
07:52and that keeps me in smoked salmon, you know, for days at uni.
07:56That reminds me now, it's a thought.
07:58I need a plastic tub.
08:00Right, good luck.
08:02You'll smash it.
08:03Mwah, please.
08:08Look at that.
08:10And that's me, darling.
08:11Mm-hmm.
08:14Bye.
08:17Thank you, Brian.
08:18Where are you all?
08:21Oh, yeah.
08:22Right.
08:23There's a little hook behind there.
08:25That needs to go a bit higher, because that's not...
08:27Sean, love, take that down.
08:29No.
08:29Because that's not enough, for goodness sake.
08:30Perfect is the enemy of good.
08:32Yes, beloved, it's not straight.
08:34Well, neither are those two.
08:35Huh?
08:36Not done us any harm.
08:37All right, I'll tell you what.
08:37I'll just leave it.
08:38I'll leave it all nice and crooked.
08:39Looking good.
08:41Really?
08:41You think?
08:42Right, you don't think so?
08:43I just think it's a bit much of a manner.
08:46You hand out the party poppers, all right?
08:48Make sure everybody's got one to let off when George makes his big entrance, right?
08:51Don't forget.
08:52What?
08:52Is George not here yet?
08:53Hopefully.
08:54He's running late.
08:54It gives me a chance to get this place ship-shape.
08:56Oh, it looks fine to me.
08:58Oh, fine.
08:59Who needs to find you?
09:01Oh, ladies.
09:02Oh, you know, he's all so proud.
09:04Oh, it's lovely to shake.
09:06No way they're here.
09:07What?
09:08I've seen them at Shuttlewoods before.
09:11Right, Todd calls them the Merry Widows of Weatherfield.
09:14All of their husbands have died and George has done the funerals,
09:18but they still come by the parlour all the time, months later.
09:21They're like groupies.
09:23Where is Todd?
09:23Oh, him and Theo are on the way.
09:25Theo just thought Todd needed to change.
09:28How was he when he went shopping?
09:31He was fine.
09:32Why?
09:32No reason.
09:34Oh, thanks.
09:34Sorry.
09:35Oh, oh.
09:37He's here, everybody.
09:38Oh, thank you.
09:46Happy birthday to you.
09:47Oh, thank you.
09:48Thanks.
09:49Oh.
09:50Cheers.
09:53Lovely.
09:53Cheers.
09:58Thanks.
09:59Oh.
10:06Oh.
10:11I'll be back in a minute, eh?
10:32Happy birthday, both of you.
10:33Oops, sorry.
10:35I'll tell you what, those widows are somewhere else.
10:36Yeah?
10:37Yeah, it's like losing their husbands was a career choice.
10:40I mean, I'm not saying that they've done anything.
10:41But they definitely lean into widowhood.
10:44Hey, boys, there's a sausage roll.
10:46No, good, thanks.
10:47Hey, I saw you running yesterday.
10:50Oh, yeah, just my usual route up to the red rack,
10:52a couple of loops and back.
10:53Getting a bit bored of it, to be honest.
10:55Listen, lager.
10:56Oh, yeah, tarl up.
10:57Hey, no, I could show you a great route along the canal.
11:00No, thanks.
11:01Those geese are terrifying.
11:02Come on, don't we, Dav?
11:03Have you seen a goose up close?
11:04They've got teeth on their tongues.
11:06On their tongues, Nick.
11:08Teeth.
11:09Hey, hi, sir.
11:09Listen, do you want a drink?
11:10Do you know what?
11:11No, I'm good, thanks, because I'm going to get going soon.
11:14Oh, you need to keep an eye on them, too.
11:16Did Todd tell you that Nick was his first crush?
11:20You know what they say about first loves?
11:25I used to go out with Craig quite a bit,
11:27so it'd be nice to have a bit of company, yeah?
11:31Do you know what, eh?
11:32Run sounds good.
11:33We're just about to do the presents now.
11:36Oh, wait.
11:37Hey, I'll text you.
11:38Yeah.
11:40Oh, hey, I'm George.
11:43Very nicely wrapped, Sean.
11:44It's just a gift for that.
11:45Oh, let's have a look.
11:46Oh, bumper sticker ain't coming.
11:50My other car is a hearse.
11:52Yeah, very nice, Sean.
11:55Very funny.
11:56Oh, and this is from me, Todd and Theo.
11:59Oh, that's a big, isn't it?
12:00Oh, have you brought a present for George?
12:02No, we're not that close.
12:05The gazette from the day you were born.
12:08Oh, are you kidding me?
12:10Yeah, and that is Ken Barlow's brother,
12:11who played for County.
12:12Oh, thank you.
12:14Thank you, Todd.
12:15That's lovely.
12:16Oh, hang on.
12:16What's this bit down here?
12:18Tombola prizes remain unclaimed.
12:21Local journalism at his best.
12:23That's right.
12:25Photo opportunity for the birthday boy.
12:27Oh, here we go.
12:28All right, get in.
12:28I'm the birthday girl.
12:29You get in as well.
12:31Remember me?
12:32Oh, I tell you.
12:33Having a good time?
12:33We all in.
12:34You flirt with Nick, you mean?
12:36What?
12:37Yeah, having a nice little chat,
12:38weren't you, too?
12:39Yeah, a chat.
12:40Nick's straight as they come.
12:41Doesn't start your fancy, though, does it?
12:44Listen, I'm going to shoot off.
12:46No, no, no, love.
12:47No, no, you can't go yet.
12:48No, because we haven't done the cake.
12:49Brenda, where's the cake?
12:50Well, there isn't one.
12:52I'm just in ten years between them.
12:54She didn't think it was worthy to get the cake.
12:55Honestly.
12:55Well, I can go get one from Dev, sir.
12:57Well, no, no.
12:58Hang on, it's all right.
12:59Listen, I know this nice little bakery.
13:00I can go.
13:01Oh, would you do that, love?
13:02That's very kind.
13:02Oh, yeah, listen, it's no problem.
13:04And Todd was just saying you need some more,
13:05weren't you, darling?
13:06So, let's go together.
13:08Yeah, we'll go.
13:10Alan, just get the coat.
13:11Oh, no, no, no.
13:11You won't be needing that.
13:12See you later.
13:13Root photo, everybody.
13:15Come on, Bill.
13:15Come on, Sal.
13:16Everybody, come on.
13:18Everybody say cheese.
13:20Cheese.
13:21Cheese.
13:22Ah, beautiful.
13:25There you go.
13:28Hello, a pint, please, mate.
13:29Come on up.
13:31You're a bit young to be drinking alone.
13:33What a sad old man thing, that.
13:34What, like you, you mean?
13:36I'm meeting Sarah.
13:37And I'm meeting Lauren.
13:39Now, I'm heading into town with her,
13:41but she's running late,
13:41so I'm just killing time.
13:43Ooh, actually, speak of the devil.
13:46See you later.
13:46Wait, Bert, so hold on a second.
13:49Have you seen Carla recently?
13:51I heard from her on Christmas Day.
13:54Right, how did she see you?
13:56It's hard to tell, isn't it?
13:57Hey, sorry.
13:57Hey.
13:58Hello.
13:59You know, she could be having a time of her life
14:00and still some Mardy.
14:02Hopefully that rhubarb hill has a spa
14:04to escort her out.
14:05Sorry, rhubarb hill?
14:07Yeah, the hotel she's staying at.
14:09I think that's what it was called.
14:11Oh, right.
14:14Why do you two know it?
14:16No, it's just a weird name, that's all.
14:18Do you know what?
14:18The suite she was in that had a weird name,
14:20but I can't remember now.
14:22Anyway, I'll see yous around.
14:26What are you thinking?
14:28Like Costello was in no fit state
14:30to give Carla hotel recommendations.
14:34Socks, pants, usual.
14:36How about you?
14:37Maria got me a moustache trimmer.
14:38Oh, nice.
14:40Wait, you don't have a moustache.
14:42Oh, but Peanut does.
14:44Really?
14:44I've never seen it.
14:45Because I trim it.
14:47Oh, yeah, makes sense.
14:50You're back early.
14:52Oh, you're still here.
14:53I should head off.
14:54Said I'd go to George's party.
14:56Oh, well, you'd better get a move on.
14:58The finger food's very good,
14:59but there's not much of it left.
15:01You know,
15:02you don't look like a student.
15:04Eh?
15:04Well, I'm a student,
15:05so by definition,
15:07I must look like one.
15:08I thought you might have started dressing like one.
15:10Nah,
15:10on the contrary,
15:11they've all started dressing like me.
15:13When I first got to uni,
15:14it was all trackies and trainers,
15:16but now silk scarves,
15:18you can't move for cardigans.
15:20I think I'm cool.
15:21That's charity shops for you.
15:23See you.
15:24See you, Kurt.
15:24Charity shops?
15:26This is vintage, mate.
15:31Sir?
15:33You lied.
15:34You, um,
15:35you didn't go to physio.
15:37I didn't lie.
15:39I changed my mind.
15:40There's a difference.
15:40Well,
15:41why do you change your mind?
15:42Is it because you're scared
15:43that you won't be able to walk
15:44and you come off the bath?
15:46No.
15:47No,
15:47and I don't care what you say.
15:50Right?
15:51My legs,
15:52my rehab,
15:52my choice.
15:53I could not agree with you more.
15:55Wait, what?
15:57Well,
15:57I mean,
15:58it's your prerogative,
15:58your decision,
16:00and I have to respect
16:01that decision.
16:03Really?
16:03Yeah.
16:04I mean,
16:05you're a grown man.
16:06You don't want your nan
16:07telling you what to do.
16:08It is nobody's business
16:10if you take a bit longer
16:11before you walk.
16:12Yeah.
16:13Yeah, exactly.
16:14Yeah.
16:14So,
16:15if you're not going to,
16:17you know,
16:17come off the bars and walk,
16:18do you want me to
16:19wheel you to the pub
16:21and I'll buy you a pint?
16:22No.
16:23You go ahead.
16:24Well,
16:25if you're sure,
16:25you know,
16:26I will not make you do
16:28anything that you don't want to do.
16:30Right?
16:32Yeah,
16:32you go.
16:34Right.
16:34let's make this quick.
16:39fine by me.
16:41What have you and Will
16:42been up to?
16:43Will?
16:44What are you on about?
16:45You asked him to have a word
16:46with me about you coming home,
16:47didn't you?
16:48No,
16:48I did not.
16:49And there I was thinking
16:51you'd ask me in here
16:52to apologise.
16:53Apologise for what?
16:54For throwing your poor old mother
16:56out onto the street.
16:57Actually,
16:57the hotel's better than here.
16:59Shows all you know.
17:00The lift is broken.
17:02Five flights of stairs
17:04after breakfast.
17:05Now,
17:05that might be nothing
17:06to Mr. Big Rugby Balls,
17:08but it is to me.
17:09Really?
17:10And the worst of it is
17:11my family is all over here
17:14and I am stuck over there
17:16squirreled away
17:18like a dirty secret.
17:20I do not do well on my own.
17:23I know I stick my nose in sometimes,
17:26but you were very happy
17:27to see me wading in
17:28with my checkbook
17:29when the sale of this pub
17:31nearly fell through.
17:32Ma.
17:33If you want a mother
17:34that's going to go into bath for you,
17:36you can't always choose
17:38where she's going to put that bath.
17:39Yeah, well, you swung it at, Eva.
17:41I won't have that.
17:42Yeah, I know that was wrong.
17:43I'm sorry.
17:44It won't happen again.
17:45It better not.
17:47So what do you say?
17:50Can I phone the hotel?
17:52Tell them they can have
17:53their room back.
17:59All right, I'm coming.
18:05How are you in?
18:06Yeah?
18:09I didn't know where else to go.
18:17Well, may I suggest the Rovers,
18:20the Bistro,
18:21Funny Farm.
18:22It's Carl.
18:24He's cheating on me.
18:26And you want me to do what about it?
18:29I don't know.
18:30Oh, come here.
18:43Thanks.
18:45They were nice.
18:47Staying open for us.
18:49Theo, you barely said a word.
18:53It's about Nick, isn't it?
18:54I told you about him ages ago.
18:57Yes, I had a thing, an ill-advised thing, for Nick.
19:01When I was a kid.
19:05Do you still fancy him?
19:07He's a mate.
19:08You were all over him.
19:09I was not.
19:12Maybe a laughingstock.
19:14Fawning over him.
19:15I said I thought it was so funny.
19:17He was giving me running tips.
19:18Yeah.
19:19And the rest.
19:20That's the truth.
19:22How do you think it made me feel, Todd?
19:25Stood at the bar,
19:26on my own,
19:27when you were laughing it up
19:29with your childhood sweetheart.
19:31He's not my sweetheart.
19:33I'm glad he gave you running tips.
19:40Because you can make your own way home.
19:43What?
19:46I can't bear to look at you, Todd.
19:51Theo.
19:53We're miles away.
19:55Theo.
19:57Theo, I haven't...
19:58I haven't got my coat.
20:00Theo, he's freezing.
20:01Theo!
20:07Tell you what, it's a nice hotel.
20:09Hmm.
20:10Reviews look good.
20:11Yeah, but there's no dates on them, though.
20:14Look, to be fair,
20:15I mean, that is the kind of place
20:16that Carla would book in.
20:18What are you doing?
20:21Hola.
20:22Ablai Inglis.
20:25Great.
20:25Um, is that the Rhubarb Hill Hotel?
20:29Well, I'm just looking for one of your guests,
20:30Carla Connor.
20:31Um, can you put me through to her room, please?
20:35Yeah, it's Kit Green.
20:42Yeah, no problem.
20:43She's probably out enjoying herself.
20:45They do say blondes have more fun.
20:49Oh, no, that's right.
20:50She's, er...
20:51She's dying her hair dark these days.
20:53Will you ask her to ring me when she gets back?
20:58Bye-bye.
21:00So it checks out.
21:01Looks like it.
21:03And it was just the name of the hotel.
21:05Yeah, but that's the Rhubarb Hill Hotel,
21:07so why would she write something different in her diary?
21:09What do you say?
21:17Well, it sounds like you took the bait.
21:20No!
21:21Don't take the website down yet.
21:24You need to keep an eye on that phone line, too.
21:25We need everyone to believe that hotel exists.
21:29It's only for a few more days.
21:32Yeah.
21:34Speak soon.
21:35Do you have any idea
21:38how much trouble
21:40that little phone call of yours caused?
21:43Not to mention the cost.
21:45You owe me.
21:53Or even now.
21:54You owe me.
22:04Thank you, Captain.
22:07Talk to you next time.
22:15I won't.
22:18I won't.
22:18I won't.
22:19I won't.
22:20I won't.
22:21I won't.
22:21I won't to mention the cost.
22:23I won't.
