00:00Jane left this for you.
00:06For me?
00:17How tactless.
00:18Giving you chocolates during Ramadan.
00:22What does the card say?
00:23Congratulations on your brilliant exam results.
00:27The future starts now.
00:28Love Jane, Ian, Lucy, Peter and Bobby.
00:31So just Jane then?
00:33Yeah, just as I thought.
00:35She's signed for everyone.
00:39Stop trying to tempt everyone with chocolates!
00:42It's not my fault Jane's culturally insensitive.
00:45You've got a smart answer for everything these days, haven't you?
00:47You're not at Oxford yet, you know.
00:51If you knew everyone had these...
00:54plans for you, these big plans...
00:57and...
00:59you knew something that would change everything,
01:03you'd be scared of letting them down, wouldn't you?
01:05Yes.
01:09Tam, I've got some news.
01:12I thought we were going to tell the kids together?
01:14Yeah, I couldn't resist.
01:16Well, go on then.
01:18Your father and I are going on a world tour.
01:21Really?
01:22When?
01:23Soon as you leave for Oxford, we're going to go to Egypt, Africa, the Far East.
01:27It's going to be amazing.
01:28Yeah.
01:29I can't wait.
01:30See, you're not the only one with exciting times ahead of you.
01:33Sit.
01:35No doubt Dawn will be having a white wedding tomorrow.
01:40Such an absurd tradition.
01:42Unless you're a virgin, it's utterly meaningless.
01:44And Dawn's obviously not virginal.
01:46And anyway, white's such a boring colour.
01:48Someone needs to show the people of Warford how it's supposed to be done.
01:52So I want your opinion on my wedding outfit before we go any further.
01:56Mine?
01:57Well, I can't ask Saeed because it'll spoil the surprise.
02:00And as much as I admire your mother, she knows nothing about fashion.
02:04Which one?
02:06I don't know, they're all nice.
02:08Of course they're all nice, that's why I chose them.
02:10But which do you prefer?
02:12That one.
02:13Really?
02:15It's very traditional.
02:17Don't you think this suits my colouring better?
02:20And if I got the neckline like hers, I could wear a silver necklace to go with the threading.
02:25See?
02:27Like this.
02:28What do you think?
02:31Tell me the truth.
02:35I think...
02:36I think...
02:40I think...
02:41What are you doing?
02:42I'm sorry.
02:43Sorry?
02:44What's wrong with you?
02:45I'm picking my wedding outfit to marry your brother!
02:49Of course you are.
02:51Cos, you know, everything works out for Saeed.
02:53It's just the rest of us who end up with nothing!
03:01So this is where you've been hiding.
03:06Sorry about before.
03:07I don't know what came over me.
03:09Forget it, it's no big deal.
03:10No, you're like your sister.
03:13I don't sort of overstep the mark.
03:16I'm such a loser.
03:18Don't say that.
03:20I am, who'd want me?
03:22Lots of girls.
03:24We're funny.
03:26Clever.
03:29When people think I'm clever, I'm not.
03:31Of course you are.
03:33Not everyone gets to go to Oxford University.
03:36Don't worry.
03:39Don't worry.
03:42I don't know how to tell Mum.
03:46I lied.
03:49I didn't get five A's last week.
03:51I'm not going to Oxford.
03:54Should I wait Tam?
03:56No, let him sleep.
03:58He should be conserving all of his energy for Oxford.
04:00All those parties.
04:02Girls.
04:04Studying.
04:06I thought you had already decided on a holiday.
04:08Who's to say it might not lead to something more long term?
04:10Yeah.
04:12Your father's always been a bit of a dreamer.
04:14Yes.
04:16It's everything we've ever wanted, see.
04:18No kids, no responsibilities, just the open road.
04:21You seem to be forgetting that we have a bit of a business to run here.
04:25Well, Saeed's perfectly capable of handling things on his own.
04:29Are you sure?
04:31You've more than earned it.
04:33There's still other things to think about.
04:35What?
04:36Like Tam, for instance.
04:38Tam's not going to want to know us when he starts university.
04:40That's what I keep telling her.
04:42We're not kids anymore, Mum.
04:44So stop worrying about us and go and live your dream.
04:47I thought you might have been Saeed.
04:51No, he's back at the unit.
04:53There's a surprise.
04:55So what can I do for you?
04:57About yesterday.
04:59Forget about it.
05:00Really?
05:02If anything, I was flattered.
05:04So you find me irresistible.
05:06You won't be the first.
05:08And hopefully you're not the last.
05:10I'll take that as a compliment.
05:12You know, if you got rid of those glasses and that polyester,
05:15it could transform you.
05:16I'll bear that in mind.
05:18Were you worried I was going to tell Saeed?
05:19I did wonder.
05:21So what other secrets have you come to burden me with?
05:24Well, that's it, hopefully.
05:26I take it you haven't told your mother about Oxford.
05:30I've got a plan.
05:31I'd love to hear it.
05:37I'll go to Oxford as planned and I'll get a job in a bookshop.
05:41Genius.
05:43I thought so.
05:44And then what?
05:46I'll reapply next year.
05:48Full proof.
05:49So I think you'll find there's no need to tell mum and dad?
05:55Me and your mum, we're never going to be best of friends.
05:58I suspected as much.
06:01But how can you look her in the eye and lie to her?
06:03Yeah.
06:08Doesn't anybody knock around here?
06:11Why?
06:12What were you looking at?
06:13Nothing that concerns you.
06:15I've always checked the history.
06:16Enough Tamwar, okay?
06:18Is it too much to ask for?
06:19A little bit of privacy.
06:22Oh, is that for me?
06:23Yeah.
06:25Well, don't just stand there then.
06:26Go and get Saeed.
06:27What for?
06:28Because I want everybody to be together.
06:30That's why, okay?
06:32Go on, go on. Let's move.
06:37Mum, are you okay?
06:39Why wouldn't I be?
06:41You do seem a bit preoccupied, that's all.
06:45My youngest child is about to leave home.
06:48I think he'll find that I have the right to be a little bit upset.
06:52I don't have to go to Oxford if you don't want me to.
06:57Don't you worry about this silly old woman in front of you, okay?
07:01I want you to go out there and make this family proud.
07:09Saeed!
07:12We're wanted back at the house.
07:13Can't it wait?
07:14With the mood your mother's in.
07:18Has she said anything to you?
07:19What about?
07:21Um, she just seemed a bit out of source, that's all.
07:24Well, you are whisking her halfway across the world.
07:27Mum just takes some time to adjust, doesn't she?
07:28Yeah, you think that's all it is?
07:30She's hardly the type to suffer in silence, is she?
07:33Trust me, if she had a problem, we'd all know about it.
07:38I take it there's a big announcement.
07:40She might just find it easier telling us all at once.
07:43Tell us, er, what exactly?
07:45It's not my place to say.
07:47Where's Tam?
07:48Just coming.
07:53See, it wasn't that hard, was it?
07:58In all the excitement of the last few weeks,
08:01I have not had the chance to tell Tamwar just how proud we all are of him.
08:05Yeah, here, here.
08:07That is why I took the liberty of getting him this little present.
08:11Oh, you didn't have to do that.
08:14Well, go and open it then.
08:20The thing is...
08:22Oh, for goodness sake, I'll do it.
08:23Well, what do you think?
08:36I don't know what to say.
08:38Well, try it on then.
08:39Well, I think this calls for a speech.
08:40Does right.
08:41Yes, speech, speech.
08:42Come on then.
08:43I just want you all to know that I really appreciate your help and I won't let you down.
09:05Dr Tamwar on my soon!
09:08Hey, who'd have thought?
09:10Oh, well done.
09:12I'm sorry I can't do this.
09:14Do what?
09:17Tam's not going to be a doctor.
09:21Well, not yet, anyway.
09:23We'll just get them to remark the papers.
09:26It's too late.
09:27Well, then you'll retake the exams and get them to Oxford next year.
09:30Is that all you've got to say?
09:31I don't see what good shouting about it's going to do, Mas.
09:34He lied to us, then, eh?
09:35He wanted to tell you.
09:36How long have you known about this?
09:38It's not her fault.
09:39And you didn't think to tell me?
09:40Well, when I've had the chance, you're always busy at work.
09:43Have you any idea the sacrifices we made for you?
09:46I'm sorry.
09:47We bought a car for you, Tam.
09:49We went out of our way to make sure this happens for you.
09:51That's enough, Masood.
09:53It's not the end of the world.
09:58Sometimes life throws us off course.
10:01Okay, we adapt.
10:02We make new plans.
10:04Because when it boils down to it,
10:07what choice do we have?
10:14The form says it's non-refundable.
10:16Zainam?
10:17We might as well chance it.
10:18Zainam?
10:19We could always keep it till next year.
10:20Stop it, will you?
10:23What's this all about?
10:26I'm just disappointed for the boy, that's all.
10:29No, it's more than that.
10:31Is it something I've done?
10:33Why would you think that?
10:35Because I know when something's bothering you.
10:38I'm just tired, that's all, Masood.
10:40Yes.
10:41Are you sure that's all it is?
10:44Mas.
10:45Close your eyes.
10:46Masood, I'm not in the mood.
10:48Just do as I say.
10:52Close your eyes!
10:58You can open them now.
11:00I thought seeing as Cairo was our first stop.
11:04I'm not still going, surely.
11:05You said it yourself, they're not our babies anymore.
11:16Who knows, this might be the making of him.
11:20It's our time, Z.
11:23I'm not going to let anyone or anything get in our way.
11:28I didn't mean to blurt it out like that.
11:42I'm glad you did.
11:44He wanted to tell you.
11:46Then why didn't he?
11:48I think Saeed's expected...
11:52What was that?
11:54I didn't quite hear you.
11:56Don't push your luck.
12:01Get changed, then.
12:03What for?
12:04Well, if we get a move on, we can make it in time for Zulu.
12:07Masood, I've got a headache.
12:09I think it's high time we did something together as a family.
12:11He's right, Mum.
12:13You know, this might be our last chance, Z, at least for the next few months.
12:16People are going to find out about ten more sooner or later.
12:17Better to face them head on.
12:21All right, give me five minutes.
12:23Me too.
12:24Might be longer than five, though.
12:25We'll pick you up.
12:27Have you decided what you're going to say to Denise?
12:29Yes.
12:31I'm going to tell her the truth.
12:33Oh.
12:35That Tamworth's decided to take a gap year and help build a school in Mozambi.
12:40So what's he going to do now?
12:42He'll really sit next year.
12:44What about your holiday plans?
12:45I think if Tamworth's perfectly capable of taking care of himself.
12:48Have you any idea of the trouble you've caused?
12:50That's a bit rich coming from you.
12:52What I don't understand is how you managed to mess up so spectacularly.
12:54So I'm... that's enough.
12:56Oh, no, sorry, because I see it screwing up as a prerequisite in this family.
12:59Just get inside the both of you, okay, before you make a show of us all.
13:02Come on.
13:10It's quite a crowd today.
13:11Yeah, let's just keep our heads down, shall we?
13:13The last thing I need is people asking me questions about Tamworth.
13:15Zainab?
13:17I spoke too soon.
13:19Bushra.
13:21Asalaam Alaikum.
13:23Asalaam Alaikum.
13:24Asalaam Alaikum.
13:25Alaikum Salaam.
13:26This is a rare treat.
13:28I'm sorry?
13:29I just...
13:31We don't usually see you here, that's all.
13:33Right.
13:34I nearly didn't make it myself.
13:42You see, Nadeem and I are going to South Africa after Ramadan.
13:48Oh, is that right?
13:49Mm-hmm.
13:50It's always been our dream to do a safari before we die.
13:53You know, you're not the only ones going away.
13:56Oh, is it just me or is it really hot in here?
13:58When the children grow up, you find you have so much more time on your hands.
14:07Maybe we should talk about this some other time.
14:09I expect you'll find the same when Thumbwaar moves to Oxford.
14:12Oh, Thumbwaar's actually decided to study at a university closer to home.
14:16It seems my children aren't in any hurry to leave me.
14:28Oh, I'm sorry.
14:29Are you alright?
14:35Yes, yes.
14:36I'm just a little bit hot.
14:38That's...
14:39Right, that's it.
14:40I'm taking the air out.
14:41I'll give you a hand.
14:42No, I'm fine.
14:43Let me meet the judge of that.
14:44Meet on me.
14:48Fasting just takes it out of you, that's all.
14:50You need to take good care of yourself.
14:52You're not getting any younger, are you?
14:55I'm feeling much better now, thank you.
14:57I'm not taking any chances.
14:59We can't go just yet, okay?
15:02I was hoping to see the Imam.
15:04You'll be lucky.
15:05He's booked up for weeks.
15:07Why did you want to see him anyway?
15:10You know, on second thoughts, I think you'd better take me home, please.
15:13I'll get my car.
15:16Just make me a promise.
15:18Not a word of this to Mass.
15:20I'll get you.
15:21I'll get you.
15:22Okay.
15:23Good afternoon.
15:25See you again.
15:27There's no sign of her.
15:28Oh, you know what your mother's like?
15:31When she starts, there's no stopping her.
15:33I'd better go and get someone to hurry her up.
15:35You know, in the rush to get this trip booked, I haven't even stopped to ask you about the business.
15:39I'm ready to take on some more responsibility.
15:41You don't think I'm throwing you in at the deep end?
15:43No, I was talking it over with Christian. We've got some...
15:45Christian? I didn't even know you two were such good friends.
15:48She's already gone.
15:49But I've got the car.
15:50Yeah, well, Farrah said that she felt faint and had to go home.
15:59My sister had a spell of fainting.
16:01It's really nothing.
16:03That's what she thought.
16:04Turned out she had a tumour the size of a grapefruit.
16:07I really think Aunty G needs some rest.
16:11I'll call you and let you know how she's doing.
16:13Well, we'll look in on our way to the airport.
16:15You do that. Thanks, Aunty.
16:19Okay, bye. Bye.
16:22That woman is insufferable.
16:24You don't think she suspects anything, do you?
16:28What's to suspect?
16:30Oh.
16:33Right, well, um...
16:34Seeing as I'm stuck here until Sayed gets home,
16:37how about we start preparing for Iftar?
16:40You look like you could use the distraction.
16:43I really don't think I have it in me.
16:46You think my being around here is going to help, do you?
16:50I'm not stupid, Aunty G.
16:52What do you mean?
16:53I'd say Tamra wasn't the only one with a secret round here.
17:01Maybe now's not the right time.
17:02What is it with his family?
17:04Just tell them, Aunty G.
17:06Someone said you weren't well.
17:08Oh, no, no, no.
17:09It was just something.
17:11And nothing.
17:13Sayed, Tam, why don't we go and check on the unit?
17:15Well, I'd rather stay here.
17:16Me too.
17:17I'm asking.
17:28Can you believe how busy prayers were today?
17:31And then Bushra's off on safari next month.
17:33More fool her, I say.
17:35See?
17:36Do you know that more people are killed by wild hippos than any other animal?
17:40That's enough, Zainab.
17:41Zainab?
17:45I want to know the truth.
17:47Truth about what?
17:48About what's bothering you.
17:51If you're sick...
17:52I am not sick, miss.
17:55Then is it something I've done?
17:59Well, not in so many words.
18:01Then what is it?
18:03Oh, for pity's sake, Zainab, just tell me...
18:05I'm pregnant.
18:12I thought I'd just pop in to see if you were okay.
18:16Is this what you were doing in the middle of the night?
18:18Yeah.
18:22Why was this in the bin?
18:23You know why.
18:25Mass, I am pregnant!
18:27My father's paying for this holiday.
18:29It's got nothing to do with the holiday.
18:31Then what has it got to do with?
18:32You just don't get this, do you?
18:34Growing the business, the holiday, our time, it is over, Mass.
18:39You do understand that, right?
18:42We need to get things prepared.
18:44Oh, no, just forgive me.
18:45Mass, we are just about coping with me working full-time.
18:49Now, when I stop work, the bills are going to still keep on coming in,
18:52and they will cripple us!
18:57We have to act now, before it's too late.
19:00Act now?
19:02We have no choice.
19:04We've got to sell the business.
19:05Just don't be too hasty.
19:09You know, if we sell, yeah, we'll have money, but once it's spent, it's spent.
19:14And we're building something for our future.
19:15That's what this business is about.
19:17Our future?
19:19Come on!
19:20There are people that will help.
19:22What about the kids?
19:24What about them?
19:26Tam has got to concentrate on his studies.
19:27I will not sacrifice his future.
19:28What are they, Saeed?
19:29Saeed is already helping!
19:31But while you were snoring away last night, Masood, I was the one who was running the numbers,
19:35and you have to understand, there is no other way.
19:38Hello?
19:40Oh, yes, thank you.
19:43Sure, just a minute.
19:45Can you make an appointment today at midday?
19:48Masood!
19:49Can you make an appointment today at midday?
19:51Yes!
19:52Yes, we can, thank you.
19:55Okay.
19:57That was a surgery.
19:59I'd left them a message.
20:01You don't have to come if you don't want to!
20:03I'll be there!
20:09Oh, sorry.
20:13We made less than £200 at last week's dinner party.
20:17What, after all, have that?
20:19I'd like to have a look at the supplies that you chose, please.
20:22Now, hang on a minute.
20:23I want to get our books in order, Jane, okay?
20:24Our books are in order?
20:25What's put all this on?
20:27The business needs to trade more efficiently.
20:30I mean, ever since we took out that loan,
20:33I mean, it is our money, you know, our risk.
20:36I think you'll find that I am entitled to have a look at exactly...
20:48You know, if you're not happy, you can always pay us that money back.
20:54You know we can't do that.
20:58Well, then we have to get more efficient and quickly.
21:07Oh, what are you doing?
21:08Oh, I saw these projections, I was just taking a look.
21:11You said I should take on a bit more responsibility.
21:14Saw these out on the table, I was just messing around.
21:15How come you're doing all this?
21:18Oh, it's your mother.
21:20You know, I think she's worried about the holiday.
21:22Costs.
21:24You know.
21:26She'll be fine.
21:27I thought Daddy G was paying.
21:29Yeah, well, there is the additional expenses and...
21:32Have you ever thought about kids?
21:38Having them, I mean.
21:40Where did that come from?
21:42Well, you are getting married.
21:45Well, we've talked about it, sure.
21:47And?
21:49We're not in a rush.
21:51We've got plenty of time.
21:53I want to establish myself before anything else.
21:56Know where I'm going.
21:58I want to make a success of myself first.
22:00Oh.
22:14He knows the time.
22:24He will be here.
22:26Well, I'm sorry, but I do need to move things along here.
22:33I think we need to try and expand our way out of this, you know?
22:37Yeah, I think that's what we should do.
22:39Businesses are falling by the wayside every day.
22:41Yeah, I know, but if we take on a couple of more people...
22:42No.
22:44You'll never find cheaper, more reliable or better stuff than you and Mum.
22:48You're the reason the business is still here.
22:51I think the smartest thing you two can do over the next year or so
22:55is stay doing what you're doing.
22:57Keep costs down, ride out the recession.
22:59I mean, I'd tell Mum the same thing.
23:01Hmm.
23:03Where is she, anyway?
23:05Oh, she's just gone to...
23:09Oh, no!
23:10Right, surgery will be in touch, yeah?
23:20I'm sorry, Zee.
23:22It's not me you should be apologising to.
23:24Oh, I'm sorry, Doctor.
23:26Keep work.
23:28How'd it go?
23:29Everything's fine, Marcel.
23:30It's really super.
23:32Yeah, look, I'm sorry, Zee.
23:33I just lost track of time.
23:34What did he say?
23:36He said I'm 15 weeks pregnant.
23:3815 weeks pregnant?
23:39You've been pregnant for nearly four months?
23:40Yes, what?
23:41And I didn't tell you?
23:42How you didn't tell me?
23:43Because I thought it was early menopause, all right?
23:45I didn't even test until...
23:46When?
23:47Until I started feeling the other symptoms.
23:50Tiredness, feeling drained.
23:51When, Zena?
23:52When, Zena?
23:53When, Zena?
23:54When?
23:55Perhaps if you'd been paying me more attention, you might have noticed.
23:58There you are, list of supplies from last week.
23:59You can see for yourself in black and white.
24:29Just ignore me, it's nothing.
24:31It doesn't look like nothing to me.
24:34I'm fine, really.
24:38Zena?
24:44I'm pregnant.
24:47Don't worry, it was a shock to me too.
24:50Well, how do you feel about it?
24:54Do you know you are the first person to ask me that?
24:59You are pregnant, you must be delighted.
25:03And, erm...
25:05And you're not?
25:06Oh, been there, done that, got the...
25:09Well, three of them, actually.
25:11Oh, er...
25:13Don't mind me.
25:14Oh, no, no.
25:16It's allowed.
25:18If you're pregnant.
25:19Sort of.
25:24You've been planning a holiday.
25:26Couldn't you still go?
25:29The baby on the way, no.
25:31So much planning to do.
25:33So much saving.
25:35We have so many costs, we have so many overheads.
25:38And then we've got this loan as well.
25:40But, you know, not that it's just about that.
25:43This trip was going to be so much more than a holiday.
25:50Yeah.
25:52It was going to be a chance for us to start a new life.
25:57Our time, living for ourselves, finally.
26:01Sounds nice.
26:02Do you know how old I'll be when this child is ready to leave home?
26:11I'll be in my sixties.
26:16What are you going to do?
26:17What are you going to do?
26:23Let's take your mind off here.
26:25Come on, man.

27:21you know when I first lifted you out of your cot
27:28I nearly dropped you

36:21okay
36:51Sorry. I just came in to get my jacket and I'll be fine, innit?
36:55We've not got a late booking.
36:58I was...
37:01I'm sorry.
37:04I just came in to get my jacket and I'll be fine, innit?
37:08We've not got a late booking.
37:12I was...
37:21I know.
37:24Zainab told me.
37:28She needed someone to talk to. She was clearly worried. Scared.
37:33Yeah, so scared. She doesn't want our baby.
37:35She thought that was all behind her. You must have too.
37:38Yeah, well, it isn't, is it?
37:41And what happens?
37:45I mean, the way she is, the way she's talking...
37:50I thought I knew her.
37:55I thought I knew everything there was to know.
37:59But I don't, do I?
38:03But you, I mean...
38:06Why do you want this baby?
38:09You know, with Saeed, Shubnam and Tamwa, when they were growing up,
38:13each bit seems to go by so quickly.
38:16And we play that game.
38:18Should we have another? What if?
38:23Well, now...
38:26Now it's not a game.
38:29No.
38:32You know, I thought I'd be a granddad rather than a dad again.
38:37I'm gonna be nearly 70 by the time he's 18.
38:46It's like I said, Dad.
38:48Why do you want it?
38:50Because being a dad...
38:52It's the one time it makes sense.
38:57The whole thing. Being here.
39:01Being.
39:03If all this, if this is just about working and money and charging around,
39:09jumping through every hoop that gets put in our way,
39:11well then...
39:13It's not really worth it.
39:15For having a baby.
39:17Being a dad.
39:22Being a dad.
39:23It's the best thing ever.
39:25And Z, yeah, look, I understand.
39:27She's...
39:28But how can she not want it?
39:30You're a mother.
39:32What would you do?
39:33Me?
39:34Yeah, you're a working woman. You're busy.
39:36I mean, what would you do if you found out you were pregnant?
39:42I'd just be going for all the same...
39:45worries and doubt that Zainab is.
39:48So you wouldn't want the baby?
39:51It's not about me.
39:56Will you talk to her for me?
40:00Oh, come on, Jane. She clearly can't talk to me.
40:03And you and her, you get along.
40:04Please, make her see sense.
40:06Look, you are the one that should be having words with Zainab, not me.
40:08What, and get shut out and get given ultimatums?
40:11What she's saying now, it's just a shock.
40:13You know, she will come round.
40:15Look, just go home and make a fuss of her.
40:20Let her know you love her.
40:33I know you say sometimes.
40:37So, are you going out somewhere?
40:53No...
40:54Things are...
40:55bit tense here.
40:57Really? Why?
40:59Don't ask me. I ain't got a clue.
41:01Dad's stomped off and Mum's... who knows?
41:05Why don't I go in and talk to her?
41:07I don't think that's a very good idea.
41:09Don't be silly. Go on. Go.
41:12Leave it to me.
41:15Andy G, you all right?
41:17Er, yes.
41:22And once I have children, they'll be able to grow up together.
41:27Playmates.
41:28Oh, it must be the most wonderful thing, being a mum.
41:31It is.
41:33I know, I love it and I think I'll be a good mum.
41:37I'm sure you will.
41:39Because I'm quite good at caring and all that cuddling.
41:42Yeah, there is a lot of cuddling.
41:44Seeing them start to walk.
41:45Girls learn to walk quicker.
41:47Really?
41:48Yeah.
41:49Saeed and Tam, they sat and crawled for as long as they possibly could.
41:53Well, boys are lazy.
41:55Chubnam was already up and pulling things off the side.
41:58Oh.
41:59Yeah, it's gonna be great.
42:01Oh, oh, we could, um, we could share baby clothes.
42:04And you could have them over to play when I've got to go out,
42:07because obviously I can't give everything up and...
42:10and...
42:11Oh.
42:12Traipsing around like a whale for nine months.
42:15What a nightmare.
42:17And my figure.
42:20What if I can't shift the weight?
42:23Giving everything up?
42:26Oh, Auntie-ji.
42:28You poor thing.
42:29Oh.
42:30Um.
42:31Zee.
42:32Uh, Amira was, uh...
42:33You're back.
42:34Yeah, yeah.
42:35I was just...
42:36Um, Saeed invited Amira over for the day, so maybe stay and eat with us later, before evening
42:41prayer.
42:42Yeah, I hope that's okay.
42:43I wasn't sure what we were doing.
42:44Yeah, no, no, no, no.
42:45It's fine.
42:46It's...
42:47Zainab, I'm...
42:48Um, maybe I should just go and prepare something from now.
42:49I'll give you a hand.
42:50You told Jane!
42:51You told her!
43:04She clearly can't talk to you.
43:06This has nothing to do with this!
43:08You told Jane!
43:11You told her?
43:13She clearly can't talk to you, can she!
43:15You told Jane? You told her?
43:17She clearly can't talk to you, can she?
43:19This has nothing to do with you.
43:20I'm sorry, but this is between you and me,
43:22and it should have stayed that way.
43:23I know what Auntie G's going through.
43:25You know, you haven't a clue what she's going through.
43:28Have you told Saeed?
43:29No, it's not my place. I thought Auntie G would want to do it.
43:31Can you two please stop talking about me like I'm not actually here?
43:34Oh, gee.
43:35Why would you think she'd want more babies?
43:37She's already done it. She's not a young woman anymore.
43:39Mira, just...
43:40I came here to try and work this out.
43:43I don't want to talk about this. Not now.
43:45You will talk to me! You're my wife!
43:47Dad!
43:48Are you OK, Mum?
43:51I'm fine.
43:54It's nothing.
43:55Oh, it's nothing.
43:56You can't even tell your own sons.
44:02I'm...
44:03This is not how I wanted to do it.
44:08Oh, come on! You've told everyone else!
44:11Not like this.
44:13Mum, what is it? Come on.
44:17Your mum's pregnant.
44:23No way.
44:26You're having a baby.
44:27Yeah.
44:29But there's a problem.
44:32She's pregnant and she doesn't want it.
44:34She doesn't want our baby.
44:36She doesn't want her baby.
44:40That's not fair.
44:41That's not fair.
44:42Fat.
