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