00:00You
00:10Yeah, mate, if you could just have a little dab around there, mate, yeah, don't worry.
00:15Oh, it's crazy now.
00:19Hey, you can mow me up and get back inside.
00:21Oh, hold your horses.
00:22You've got that adoption meeting to get ready for.
00:24I don't remember.
00:25Hey, you're coming at all.
00:26It's okay, you ain't gonna want me there, Shane.
00:28It's a family.
00:29Hey, interview, and I already know you would see.
00:31Yeah.
00:31Oi, watch it!
00:34Hey, we've got a problem.
00:35Hey, hey, hey, hey, come on, come on, look.
00:37Somebody say an accident, wasn't it?
00:39Sorry, I didn't see you.
00:42Just be careful.
00:44Next time.
00:44Next time, yeah?
00:45Okay.
00:46OK.
00:46Come on.
00:48Come on.
00:49Come on.
00:50Come on.
00:52Come on.
01:05Come on.
01:06Come on.
01:07Come on.
01:09No, you've got me and Alfie helping, right?
01:11Exactly.
01:12How about we go and give them a mess?
01:14Chef?
01:15No amount of drugs is going to stop me from seeing Jasmine for what she's really like.
01:18So you have got until lunchtime.
01:19It's time to get red or we're out.
01:23Ready?
01:25You know what?
01:26I don't think Jean slept a wink again.
01:29After last night.
01:30Oh mate, I'm going to have to go.
01:32I've got to get ready for this meeting.
01:34It's all good, darling.
01:35I've got this.
01:36Cheers.
01:39Not blooming breakfast customers then.
01:41I reckon Ian's intercepted them all.
01:43Ugh.
01:44Good thing too because we are not equipped to compete with the CAF.
01:47We could do with the extra income.
01:49Max has got a load of flat viewings later.
01:52I thought you'd be pleased to see the back of it.
01:54Him?
01:55Him?
01:56Yes.
01:57His wallet?
01:58No.
01:59You rub that any harder?
01:59Darling, a genie's going to jump out.
02:00I'll wait.
02:01Let me guess.
02:02Max has...
02:04He's tried another round of tonsil tennis, has he?
02:06No.
02:07No, no, no.
02:08It's this school reunion.
02:09More...
02:09The more I think about it, the more I want to give it a miss.
02:11Honey keeps texting, all excited.
02:13I mean, it's not even her school.
02:14Oh!
02:15This sounds like nerves to me.
02:16Listen, only losers in life avoid these ev-
02:19events, you show up and you peacock the hell out of it.
02:22With your wins.
02:23Oh.
02:24What?
02:25Running a cash-track B&B with my overbearing mother?
02:27Excuse me?
02:28This is a boutique hotel.
02:29What do you mean, overbearing?
02:30I swear, if this is honey...
02:34up...
02:35Hello?
02:37Hello?
02:40you
02:39Yes, speaking.
02:43Ollie?
02:44You got me stomping a lot, walk the ceiling.
02:47River of London.
02:49Where's the box with all my hair stuff?
02:53Where's the box with all my hair stuff?
02:54I have no idea.
02:56Well, there's no rush.
02:58I have to change it into something.
02:59I need a quick shower as well before we head over.
03:03Are you coming?
03:04Are you coming to the adoption meeting?
03:05Yeah.
03:06I'm going to prove to them that I can behave and that I'm there.
03:09Change man.
03:10Erm...
03:11No, Dad, I'm not going to lie, yeah?
03:13What Grandma was...
03:14What I was saying earlier is that she definitely did not want you there today.
03:18I mean, it ain't personal.
03:20Well, it kind of is, but, like...
03:21Just think about it.
03:22Who let family associate with someone like Dad?
03:24Adopt a kid.
03:25Just with your record or not?
03:26Oh, it's fine.
03:27Well...
03:28I'd rather...
03:29I'd rather not be interrogated anyway, so...
03:30But we're turning over a new leaf.
03:33That is...
03:34Why are you just worried about good role models?
03:35Ah.
03:36Right, come on.
03:37You lot better finish getting ready.
03:38You want to be there on my...
03:39I can't, do you?
03:40Yeah.
03:41Right, come on.
03:42Off you go.
03:43And you.
03:44Let's see.
03:47It's all good.
03:48Bye.
03:49I don't know.
03:50Can you pass that memory?
03:51No.
03:53Where's my jacket?
03:54I swear you had it, like...
03:55No, my jacket's getting ready.
03:56Come on, what's taking so long?
03:57I don't know.
03:58I don't know.
03:59I don't know.
03:59I don't know.
04:00I have a jacket, Mum.
04:01Don't worry.
04:02I have got tons of things in here.
04:05So now you just need to focus on your recovery.
04:07You keep your head down...
04:09Get your eyes open, alright?
04:10And no more accidentally bumping into Ravi.
04:15Gina.
04:18Police.
04:19Bye.
04:24Give me time.
04:25She deserves better.
04:28Then I'll get to keep it going.
04:29I'll do it.
04:30Hey, listen.
04:32Me and the kids.
04:33Again, I like the charm.
04:34I need you in the night, right?
04:35I'm going to watch a film.
04:37French game.
04:38Yeah, sounds sweet.
04:39Yeah, see?
04:40See, I'll show you all the time.
04:42I'll look at a film.
04:44Hey, Billy.
04:45It's a bird over there.
04:46There's iron up your ceramic token.
04:47Choke.
04:49It's worth a few quid, then.
04:50Well, I'll see you tonight, okay?
04:52And keep your nose clean.
04:54You all right?
04:56Yeah.
04:58Where are we at with Robbie?
04:59Delivery's just landed.
05:01Enough for a nice little cocktail.
05:04All we need now is a visit from Robbie.
05:08You sure you're...
05:09Who stood up for this?
05:12With every bone in my body.
05:14Get this in, sweetheart.
05:17Just follow your nose, darling.
05:18I mean, call for...
05:19Who's hiding the size of Wolfen, is it?
05:21Everything's your end.
05:22The boys and Jazz been all right?
05:24Yeah, yeah, boys are good, and Jasmine's fitted in, like, you know, like, butter on toast.
05:29Trust me.
05:29Trust me.
05:29Everything is fine, darling.
05:31Just, um...
05:32Is it okay if I...
05:33The cat...
05:34Listen, you're cutting it...
05:35Listen, if you can hear me, I love you.
05:37I'll talk to you later.
05:37Oi, oi, oi, oi, oi, boy.
05:40You're not scranked doing a runner, are you?
05:41No, Oscar's gone to cover the store.
05:43I just...
05:44I just thought I'd best head considering Gene's dish in our ultimatums.
05:47Okay, okay.
05:47Well, then, let's just forget about it.
05:49That little kerfuffle last night.
05:52Now, Gene...
05:52She has a point.
05:54I...
05:54I've done some really messed up things, Alfie, okay?
05:56You do not want me sticking around.
05:58Wait, you listen to me.
05:59I want all my family sticking around, okay?
06:02Now, we're forgiving you for everything that's happened.
06:04But the Slaters and the Moons, we protect our own.
06:09Okay, come hell or a high water.
06:11Gene didn't get that memo, did she?
06:14Okay.
06:14Now, I'll get that.
06:15Listen, one to Gene's on a new meds.
06:17It'll balance her out.
06:18Okay.
06:18Now, I'll get that.
06:19Listen, one to Gene's on a new meds.
06:21It'll balance her out.
06:19Jazz, come on, just give it a few days.
06:22I promise you, you're surrounded by people.
06:24Who care about you.
06:25At least think about it, yeah?
06:29You just don't sound like Ollie.
06:32Lashing out, hitting other kids.
06:34Well, Patrick said a similar thing about Anthony.
06:38You've got to watch a man's temper.
06:39You never know where it might lead.
06:41Ollie's ten.
06:42Even so, girl.
06:44Linda, I've sent you about six texts.
06:48Are we still on for tonight?
06:49Oh, honey, look, I really appreciate you offering to join me,
06:52but I'm not going to go to the reunion tonight.
06:54I really need to talk to Ollie after school.
06:56Oh, no, I was really looking forward to tonight.
06:59Even if the legs waxed.
07:01Not here you didn't.
07:02No.
07:03I presumed you were...
07:04You were closed because family bereavement.
07:07Oh.
07:07When was the last time you...
07:09did something fun for Linda.
07:12Eh?
07:12She's got a point.
07:14No.
07:15That would be £30, please.
07:16Exactly.
07:18Carpool DM.
07:19It's for your own sanity.
07:21Please.
07:22Oh, all right.
07:23I guess.
07:24Okay.
07:24Yeah.
07:24All right.
07:25Good.
07:25Well, I'll see you tonight.
07:26I'll see you tonight.
07:27Well, now's look nice.
07:28Oh.
07:29Just a bit.
07:33Yeah, I got it.
07:34How's anyone see you?
07:39In my purse.
07:41I need to book a coach to Edinburgh for this evening.
07:45Well, you're not looking at care homes up there, are you?
07:46No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
07:48Me and Nigel were putting our house...
07:49on the market.
07:50We need it sold as soon as.
07:53Where's the big step?
07:54Yeah.
07:54Well, it's a necessary one.
07:57So, where are you going to live?
07:58Like long...
07:59Oh, I haven't thought that far ahead.
08:01Oh.
08:01Oh.
08:02Er...
08:03I'm just...
08:04concentrating on Nigel's needs at the moment.
08:06Yeah, well, I hope it goes well.
08:08Oh, thanks.
08:09See you two later.
08:14So, she does know that you're taking him abroad.
08:19Yeah.
08:20You had a...
08:21I'll concentrate on what Nigel needs.
08:23Well...
08:24Portuguese sun, coastal views, doing the world a good.
08:26Yeah, but you're planning on bringing him back.
08:28Listen, Nigel, don't need...
08:29dumping in some grotty care arm, I know that much.
08:31Phil, soon enough, he's not going to know if he's in the Algarve up...
08:34down the allotment.
08:36He just needs familiar faces and a lot of support.
08:38Yeah, well, Grant said...
08:39We could stay at his.
08:40Oh, yeah.
08:40Right, Grant's going to slip on a penny, is he, and play up Florence Nightingale?
08:43Sam.
08:44Nigel is dying.
08:46Don't you think he deserves one break away before that happens?
08:49So, just keep your big eye out, yeah?
08:54What, and Anthony's sons definitely won't come down for the funeral?
08:59I don't think their mother will permit that.
09:01Patrick's her granddad, surely they'll want to see him.
09:04You know?
09:04Hey, right, ladies, hope you enjoyed it.
09:07Yeah, lovely.
09:07Yeah, lovely.
09:08Out, John.
09:09It might be long, mate, I know what you want.
09:11Seems like he could use a hand.
09:14It may, I'm saying, no, no, no.
09:16Hey, lovely.
09:19What is...
09:19Are you going to stay and hold a fork for me while I go and change the barrel?
09:21Yeah, sure.
09:22As long as you don't put your back out.
09:23Oh, very funny!
09:24So you've chosen the demon?
09:29You've chosen the demonic heathen over your own family.
09:31Now, Jane, you listen.
09:32No, you listen!
09:34After all my investigations, she is bad news.
09:37Jane, don't start that again.
09:38Okay, listen, she's done that.
09:39Nothing wrong.
09:39Everything on my crime wall suggests otherwise.
09:43Jasmine, my...
09:44He's a dad, you're arresting the poor girl.
09:48She bought false...
09:49She's a witness from the very second she arrived on the square.
09:52Oh, do you know what?
09:53Oh, do you know what?
09:54Well done.
09:55You win.
09:56I'm off.
09:56Jane, why don't we talk about this upstairs?
09:58Come on, Jane.
09:58Don't leave because...
09:59There's a mage.
10:00Oh!
10:01Very well!
10:02I've sucked everyone else into your shadow.
10:04of darkness, but I see the devil behind those eyes!
10:07Okay, Jane, listen.
10:08Look, you're upset.
10:09Everybody here, okay?
10:10Now, just...
10:10Please, just go home
10:11and we'll talk about this later.
10:13Please.
10:14Please, like lovers do...
10:16Hi.
10:18Hi.
10:19I love you, all right?
10:22Look, tell my way back, Jane.
10:24Just...
10:24Come and sit down with us all the time.
10:25Fine, thank you.
10:26Come.
10:29Come and sit down with us all the time.
10:30Oh, God.
10:31Oh, God.
10:31Oh, God.
10:32Oh, God.
10:32Oh, God.
10:33Oh, God.
10:33Oh, God.
10:34Oh, God.
10:34Think that went well?
10:38Sookie sing.
10:39Kind of relaxed.
10:40Eve's role, weren't?
10:41Too busy stressing about that Jane drama.
10:43Yeah, and they were all up in our...
10:44business.
10:44I mean, it's not like we're the ones adopting the kid.
10:47Uh, don't get too comfortable.
10:49You both can still make the last bit of college.
10:52Well, no one's bothered about that, Mom.
10:54Let's see what Dad thinks.
10:56Ravi!
10:58Drick.
10:59I reckon Dad's upset about what we said earlier.
11:01Oh, it hardly comes as a surprise to him.
11:03Like, he knows what he's...
11:04Oh, I didn't see his text.
11:09It's up.
11:09It's up in Vinny with some business stuff.
11:11Guess that means it's college for you two then, doesn't it?
11:14Come...
11:14Come on!
11:15Taxi, guy!
11:18Oh, my...
11:18See you.
11:19See ya.
11:20See ya.
11:22Should we bark?
11:24Yeah, we went to Watford just before our final exams.
11:29Left all our can-in-town mates behind.
11:32Oh, no, that's not good.
11:33Yeah, they were devastating.
11:34I mean, me and Mick were like the original Posh and Becks.
11:36No, Linda, they're checking names.
11:39Oh, they're...
11:39That's a bit over the top.
11:42Maybe I could sneak you in round the back.
11:43No.
11:44Not after the last time your mother was looking for Charlie.
11:47What?
11:48Oh, it's a long story.
11:50I'm not going in on my own.
11:52Could you use someone else's name?
11:54My whose name?
11:55Well, there'd be loads of people who don't turn up.
11:57Life's losers, as my mother so nicely.
11:59Oh, come on, honey.
12:01This is what carpe diem is all about.
12:04Linda, Linda.
12:06Hi.
12:06I am Linda Carter.
12:09And this is B.
12:11Sullen.
12:12Pollard.
12:13Pollard.
12:14Excuse me, she's, um, just...
12:19had her lips done.
12:21Sure.
12:22In you go.
12:24Oh!
12:28Oh!
12:34I'm going to put it in a little bit.
12:44Lelandie, are you here?
12:46Don't worry.
12:49My lips are sealed.
12:51Everyone needs space down again.
12:55Isaac's birthday is next week.
12:57He's been giving me some money.
12:59Two dead sons.
13:04Isaac avoided me too.
13:06What a legacy.
13:09Your sons could have done a lot worse than you for a dad.
13:12Yeah, but you know my partner...
13:14You hold me to account like a proper dad should.
13:19Yeah, but I belittled him.
13:20Let's be honest, I'm a failure for a father.
13:24Stiff competition for that reindeer, Patrick.
13:27According to my kids anyway.
13:28You have to...
13:29Do you want to have a drink?
13:30Or are you just going to stick your knives in?
13:31No, no, no, no, no.
13:32I'll double rum for him.
13:34On me.
13:35A drink for you too.
13:39Alright.
13:49I did
13:54I mean
13:59Drop all your plans babe
14:01We're on
14:04Hi
14:06Yeah sorry
14:08I must make sure I talk to Ollie in the morning
14:09Yeah well come on the phone's away
14:11We need to tap into our schoolgirl personas
14:13Oh
14:14Well I definitely had more fun back then
14:16Till I got pregnant
14:19Well I bet you were batting the boys away with a stick
14:21Oh no I was a mixed girl
14:23Never I
14:24Don't have to worry about that
14:26Although Max did try it on last week
14:29Did you two
14:31No
14:32What do you take me for
14:33Red
14:34Blooded woman with a pulse
14:35Honey
14:36What
14:37No it's Bea Pollard talking not me
14:39Oh no no no
14:40No
14:41Bea would never um
14:42Ha
14:43She was more of a
14:44Hang out with the teachers type
14:46One of those
14:47One of those yeah
14:48She
14:49She was obsessed with these little crochet birds on her bag
14:54Yeah I think she even named them
14:56Um
14:57Oh
14:58Herbert and Delilah
14:59Oh
15:00Well looking back she was a bit odd
15:02I can't judge
15:03I like Bea
15:04She's a bit odd
15:05I'm quite partial to a cute little woodpecker
15:07Ha
15:08That explains Bea
15:09Oh Shona and Dave!
15:14Oh, I haven't seen them in forever. I'll be back.
15:19Oh Shona and Dave!
15:24It's Julie's today.
15:29Yeah, upstairs, back in.
15:32You come to your senses yet?
15:34Book the flights to Portugal.
15:36Me and Nige leave on Friday.
15:38What this...
15:39Yeah, I'm gonna text Louise, see if she wants to bring Peggy to join us.
15:42Are you living in La La Land?
15:45Julie ain't gonna have this.
15:46If we stay longer, Julie can catch us up later.
15:48Anyways...
15:49It's probably cheaper getting a car out in Portugal.
15:51You can barely say help in Portuguese, let alone find it.
15:54I said, and I promised Nigel I'd do right by him.
15:57And this, this is for the best.
15:58Oh really?
16:00For who?
16:02Since when have you been so interested?
16:03Oh, I dunno.
16:04I don't feel...
16:05I...
16:06I thought you supported family.
16:07You know, no matter what.
16:08What's that smell?
16:09What's that supposed to mean?
16:10Sam, what's that supposed to mean?
16:12Sam, what's that supposed to mean?
16:13Ahhhh...
