00:00MUSIC
00:17You can barely walk, so if I say he isn't here,
00:21then that is because he is not here, yes?
00:24Yeah.
00:24Now, I suggest you put out an alert and inform your charge nurse, OK?
00:28I mean, don't disrespect. I know you're really busy and all that,
00:31but how could you lose my husband, for God's sake?
00:36Er...
00:38Right, er...
00:40Er...
00:40I suppose he could have tried to find the toilet again.
00:43Er, he can't get as far as the canteen, and I've tried the day room.
00:46I mean, if he's collapsed somewhere, I swear...
00:52Nurse, it's my husband, Nigel.
00:54Can you tell me what's going on?
00:55Yeah, look, just come with me into his room.
00:59OK.
01:01I'm... I'm so sorry, I...
01:03What's happened?
01:04Well, I thought you'd been informed.
01:06Referred!
01:07Up the way!
01:09Your sex has dipped to 82%.
01:11OK, let's get him on the morning, sir.
01:13I don't want to see us!
01:15I don't want to see us!
01:16I don't want to see us!
01:18John!
01:18Hi, it's Claire. I can't get...
01:20Voicemail. Let's go straight to voicemail.
01:23I knew we shouldn't have got back in touch with Claire.
01:25I mean, she's not grown up at all.
01:28I mean, how could she be behaving so selfishly, so stupidly, so dangerously?
01:34How could she just check him out of here, Phil?
01:36Because he's her dad.
01:37Yes, I know that.
01:38But she's got eyes, hasn't she?
01:41I mean, ever since Nigel came in here, he's just not been getting better.
01:44Look, we've got to find him, Phil.
01:45Why are you not panicking?
01:47All those months, eh?
01:48All that time, all that effort,
01:50trying to make sure that he was safe,
01:51and then she barges in,
01:52and then she puts him at risk.
01:54I mean, why?
01:55Why is she doing this, Phil?
01:58Why?
01:58What is she doing this for?
01:59I mean, where is she taking him to?
02:02Today of all, is he?
02:02I wouldn't put it past her if she'd...
02:04she'd shoved him in the back of a taxi,
02:05and she's going to try and wheel him all the way back up to Scotland.
02:12Come on, Dad, please.
02:13Off!
02:14You old fat.
02:15I don't know who she is.
02:16Who is she?
02:17He's doing this for you, Nigel.
02:19How you said.
02:21You don't have to.
02:22You don't want to.
02:25Something hurts.
02:27You feeling bad?
02:29This isn't going to work.
02:31Maybe we should just take him back inside.
02:34I don't know how to do this.
02:37He doesn't recognise me, and...
02:39I don't recognise him.
02:42Are you going to come?
02:44Like you told us you wanted?
02:46Put a smile back on that face.
02:49One last time.
03:00All that time it's taken us to find him an appropriate care home place,
03:03and if he doesn't move in there today on time,
03:06you don't think they're going to give his room to someone else, do you?
03:08Because there's no way we can cope, Phil.
03:11Of course.
03:17Next, he says Nigel's safe.
03:20Right.
03:21Right, well, you'd better tell them to bring him back here.
03:22Julie, Julie, could you just stop, please?
03:27So what are they?
03:30Ain't it obvious?
03:31No, I'm...
03:32I'm just saying, you know, I haven't been totally sure Bon Voyage quite needs the mark.
03:36Well, is that her happy birthday?
03:38There ain't exactly a mark here for last pint in the Vic banners.
03:40What about some streamers?
03:41There might be some in the Christmas box.
03:45It's a cruel disease, innit?
03:47Hey, half an hour well spent, am I?
03:49So if there's one person who knows how to live in the moment,
03:51squeeze it out of the choice,
03:53of Lexi Pearce.
03:54No, I'm not sure this is good for her, you know.
03:56Come little Lexi's posting messages on your neighbour.
03:58Shit.
03:59I've always got something just out of the oven.
04:01Yeah, my dad'll be over as soon as he's having eel issues,
04:04can you believe it?
04:05I've got some nice water icing on it, can I breathe?
04:07Yeah, go and take it, it's lovely.
04:08Bless Lexi, though, what a good idea.
04:11Nigel's just part of here, isn't he?
04:12I've got squares in his bones.
04:14Oh, talk to the witch.
04:16That's him.
04:16Yeah.
04:17Hiya.
04:19Cheers.
04:20Cheers.
04:35Hey!
04:39I heard you were back.
04:43Are you all right?
04:44You know, just getting my head around the fact that my dad can recognise a pub,
04:48but not his own daughter.
04:50Oh, look, don't listen to me.
04:53I'm hardly the priority, I'm just...
04:55I know, shocked.
04:56Shocked.
05:00I tried to contact you, but you've got a new number.
05:03I'd have been here.
05:05I'd have come back.
05:07I can't believe he doesn't know who I am.
05:11Well, you're not giving him a chance to do that here, are you?
05:14No.
05:14Right, come on, or we'll have you a drink.
05:16Yeah.
05:17Oh.
05:18How's that house and husband of yours?
05:20Your little girl, she's not little any more.
05:22No.
05:26Woo!
05:28Hey!
05:28When Nigel went behind, I don't think he was talking about Prosecco.
05:31Yeah, well, certainly very good not to.
05:35Congratulations.
05:36Everyone's got an opinion.
05:38I mean, it's not like Nigel knows what he says, is it?
05:42Quite honestly, it's a thought that counts.
05:46There you go.
05:47Of course, it should really be a pint of oranges and lemons.
05:51Remember?
05:52The cocktail we all had at your birthday party?
05:55The first night your mum and dad met.
05:57I introduced them.
06:02Yeah, he bought me a pint more than once.
06:04In the downtimes.
06:06Good listener.
06:07What?
06:08Messing up your Santa Claus lines?
06:10I mean, you got some hard work.
06:14Hey, Dot always said, the best port and lemon this side of Beckham.
06:19Oh, yeah.
06:19Lord knows Jim tried to top him.
06:22Yeah, according to Dad, the only man who could set Grant Mitchell straight and walk away still
06:26wearing his own face.
06:28Mum always reckoned you preferred a nice cup of tea to a pint.
06:36Thanks.
06:43You gonna have a sip?
06:45All the stuff are getting you back in.
06:46Turn in one.
06:48That is inappropriate, Maureen.
06:53I'll get us a drink, yeah?
06:54Well, if you want to talk about drinking, has anyone heard the story about Nigel and Ricky Butcher's
06:59talking about that?
07:00Don't do.
07:00No.
07:03Well, they all woke up hanging in a field, apparently.
07:08Don't know how they got there, where they are.
07:10Someone mentions the ferry, probably Grant.
07:14Looks like France.
07:15Must be France, right?
07:16Anyway, this is urgent because this is the actual day of Ricky and Bianca's wedding.
07:21Oh.
07:22Nigel's the only one with an early level.
07:24So we volunteers start speaking French.
07:27Well, the poor farmer hasn't got a clue what he's saying because they're not in France
07:31at all.
07:32They're in Kent.
07:34ë¨¼ì €.
07:40Bonjour.
07:51Friend at Chelsea's?
07:53Yeah.
07:54One of things met
07:56I'd remember your face.
07:58Large one, is it?
08:00I doubt it.
08:02No, thanks. Cheers.
08:05God loves a try, all right?
08:13What the hell's on the planet?
08:15Oh, back off, can you?
08:19So, Nigel's fine, yeah?
08:21He's safe, just... just let him have this.
08:25It's 20 minutes.
08:30Yeah.
08:34Sorry.
08:48Why are you following me in here like some middle-aged stalker?
08:50You've come to tell me off.
08:53You're not the step-mum any more.
08:54You're not my teacher and I'm not that screwed-up teenager in your way, Julie, all right?
08:59I never thought that.
09:00Don't do it.
09:02Do not do that.
09:05Act like you're perfect because you're not.
09:07Because none of us are.
09:09All this playing, poor me, it does my head in.
09:12Do not pretend that your life didn't get a whole lot easier once I left.
09:16Well, we certainly had more money in the bank.
09:20Your dad missed you.
09:24Okay, so, yeah, in, er...
09:26In some ways it was.
09:28Yeah.
09:30And you wonder why I never came home for Christmas.
09:33Nigel just wanted to meet his granddaughter.
09:36No, Julie.
09:37Not enough.
09:39You won.
09:40Okay?
09:42You won.
09:43And I'm not interested in you or your opinions.
09:48I'm just gutted.
09:50He doesn't know who I am.
09:53I am gutted you didn't call me when you first found out.
09:58You knew he went missing.
10:01I left you I don't know how many messages.
10:04And now...
10:06I've lost the chance to tell him I'm sorry.
10:10But Dad never called me either, did he?
10:14Then I...
10:15I never called him.
10:19This was just one little nice thing I could try and do for him, you know?
10:24One wish.
10:27You don't have the monopoly on loving him, Julie.
10:31You never have.
10:38Yeah, but Nigel's smiling, ain't he?
10:41When did you last see that?
10:44Nigel ain't got his memory.
10:46But the rest of us have.
10:48Listen, if...
10:49If you ever go off like that without telling us again, I'll...
10:54I'll get Cullen to take your laptop off, you ain't it?
10:56And get him to cancel your phone contracts and all.
11:00But your mum...
11:03Your mum will be proud of you.
11:05I know that.
11:13Then what was it again? More hours in the back van?
11:16No more minimum wage and...
11:18Commission when you sell a car?
11:20Cos, you know, technically, Lauren has head-earned you.
11:26Priya, relax.
11:28You know, most normal people celebrate to get a new job.
11:31Most normal people ain't waiting for a drugs gang to torch their house.
11:35Yeah, I told you I should mark down. Can you just...
11:39Will you just trust me?
11:41Yeah.
11:42As soon as you give me one good reason to.
11:46Victoria Sandwich Nigel, your firm favourite.
11:48I'll be making you one of these every week when you get yourself settled.
11:54Oh, hi.
11:55This favourite.
11:56Do you want me to get you a slice, Dad?
11:59You.
12:00Judy.
12:01Judy!
12:02It's okay, I'm here.
12:03Judy!
12:04It's all right, it's all right.
12:05Hey, Cosmo.
12:06With a bit of a name change.
12:09Hey.
12:11It's not his all-time favourite, though, is it, Claire?
12:14Years back it was...
12:16It was Donuts.
12:18From the bakery by the swimming pool.
12:21Wasn't it, love?
12:22Yeah.
12:24He used to take Claire swimming every Saturday.
12:28That time you, erm...
12:31You made him go with you up to the top diving board.
12:35Three flights up it was.
12:36And then you...
12:38Got cold feet.
12:40Turned around and walked all the way back to the bottom.
12:43I was only 30.
12:45And you...
12:47You felt obliged.
12:49He didn't want to hold the queue up.
12:51And he hates heights.
12:54Never seen a belly flop like it.
12:57And you always used to pick up...
12:59Those sugary donuts.
13:02And bring them home with you.
13:04Yeah.
13:06And...
13:07Every weekend...
13:09The pair of you would have a competition.
13:13In the kitchen.
13:15To see who could hold off from...
13:17Licking their lips first.
13:20I always won.
13:23I always let you in.
13:25And made her laugh.
13:30Dad.
13:35Claire.
13:44So...
13:46Sorry to break things up.
13:47But...
13:47Yeah, erm...
13:49Someone...
13:49Has got a new home they need to move into.
13:52Oi!
13:53Finished the problem.
13:55I'm fired.
13:57Er...
13:57Lexi, would you...
13:59Come back and help the pack after tea?
14:02Right.
14:02And erm...
14:04Maybe you and Claire can settle Nigel in and help.
14:07I'll bring his case along later.
14:11Right.
14:12Up at God of Honour.
14:15Well he's not going to walk.
14:17Yeah, she's right.
14:18But you can still go see him.
14:20Exactly.
14:21I've already made a group chat.
14:22So everybody needs to tick off which day is best for them.
14:25Because we don't all want to turn up the same time.
14:27Like...
14:40And you let her go...
14:41Do you know your lover...
14:42When you let her go?
14:48No.
14:56I'm sorry.
14:57Don't try!
14:57All right, let's be safe.
15:14Er, he's never caught him back, is he?
15:17I think so.
15:27All right, let's go.
16:17And we can move your photographs round how you want, once you've had time to have a look.
16:21Your wife, Julie, isn't it? Already brought on your slippers, nice little crochet blanket.
16:27And we'll have a look at where your new bedroom is and the new bathroom.
16:36Come on, Mary. Let's get you back. Get a nice cup of tea.
16:41We'll have a look at your new bed and the loo.
16:45We've had the hospital discharge summary through.
16:48Right. Well, we just need to do our basic medical check.
16:53And I expect a nurse will want to have a bit more of a thorough look at you.
16:56Don't want that pneumonia back.
16:58And this is you.
17:01Soon feel like home.
17:05It's like a thousand cups, gradual chipping away.
17:11It's been a while now since you and Phil have been taking such good care of him.
17:16I think the hospital stay really took its toll on Nigel.
17:22I've been telling Patrick what an excellent job you've both been doing.
17:27I can't remember my name. I don't even think he knows where I am most of the time.
17:33It's just, erm...
17:34It's just waiting for, you know, it's just...
17:37It's just been such a big build-up. I feel like I'm wearing heavy coats.
17:41I know there's no practical alternative, but I just feel like such a bad person.
17:47I don't want him to go.
17:48Hush, hush, hush, hush. Julie.
17:50Julie, Julie, Julie, hush, hush, hush.
17:53Look.
17:55The care home, we pray, will be the best place for you.
18:04You and Phil have done all that you could.
18:07You have nothing to be guilty for.
18:11I'm not choosing this.
18:14It's just...
18:17Little tiny flashes, you know.
18:22Nigel's already gone, hasn't it?
18:28Yeah.
18:31Take it off me!
18:32Nigel just needs to give your arm a gentle hug.
18:34No, it's not...
18:34You don't want a gentle hug.
18:36It's just for your blood pressure, that's all.
18:38I haven't got any blood pressure.
18:41You're a flippity-jibbit.
18:43So's your mum.
18:44Oh, poor thing, you've got a sore nose.
18:47You, you're useless, you're no good to me.
18:50I bet you, ten thousand quid, you can't make me better in ten minutes.
18:56Yeah, go on. His brother tried to kill me.
18:59Grant, yeah.
19:00It was at home.
19:02I was in the bath, and his brother's pushing me down, trying to drown me.
19:06I'm soaked!
19:07Look at me, it's your brother, Grant!
19:10Look.
19:12Soaked.
19:14Alright.
19:15Alright, it's alright.
19:17Why don't we take a minute?
19:19Yeah? Get you tidied up.
19:23Come here.
19:25There you are.
19:35Well, we've got to be realistic. I mean, it's bound to get worse.
19:43Everything...
19:45Nigel didn't want everything he left Scotland to spare me from.
19:50I suppose we've just got to find a way to get detached a bit.
19:56Well, I mean, that's what all the online forums say, and I've been on enough of those.
20:01It's not that easy to do, though.
20:04No.
20:05Yeah.
20:06But you're not on your own.
20:09Half of the squirrel has already signed up to visit him.
20:11Yeah.
20:13I'm married to him, though.
20:14Mm-hmm.
20:15Nigel will always...
20:17He'll always have my heart.
20:19The heart of an honourable woman.
20:21Mm-hmm.
20:24You know, we've had so many happy years.
20:31And whatever time there is, now that this what it's come to, then I will visit a man who looks
20:38like my husband.
20:40I'll do my best to keep him cheerful and make sure he's safe.
20:46Find joy in little things like a cup of tea and a plet of bourbon biscuits.
20:54For the wonderful, wonderful Nigel and you.
21:02And it's the least he deserves.
21:05If I can make his life better, then...
21:11I need to be there for him.
21:14Don't I?
21:21Tell Julia...
21:22Oh, God, come and see the family.
21:23Just tell Julia I'll visit.
21:30Oh, God.
21:42Mind you, we'll settle down.
21:45He's sleeping.
21:46You wanna go in?
21:49This is...
21:52This is wrong.
21:54This is wrong.
21:55How is this?
22:00Making his life any better?
22:03Transfer trauma is not uncommon in residents with...
22:08How could it have been any worse?
22:10In dying of pneumonia in hospital, you know, they could have just let him slip away.
22:16You know, with some sort of...
22:18Some sort of...
22:20Dignity.
22:21But this...
22:24This place, the smell...
22:30It's...
22:31It's as fast as how you do each other.
22:34Because you...
22:36You didn't know him, did you?
22:37You didn't know Nigel.
22:39He's...
22:41Nigel's...
22:43He's a...
22:44You know, he's...
22:44He's a kind, gentle bloke.
22:47He's...
22:49He likes...
22:50He likes old films.
22:53Stuff like that.
22:54And this...
22:54This is not...
22:57This is not how his life should end.
23:00You know, in this place, just waiting for the axe to fall with...
23:04We're kind of dogs, don't we?
23:06Mr Mitchell.
23:06No, he's in there.
23:09He's in there.
23:10He's in there, terrified.
23:12Lost in...
23:14Dementia.
23:16Nigel's...
23:17Nigel's disappeared, but...
23:20His body's just...
23:22His body's just keeping going, innit?
23:24It's obvious how hard you've been working.
23:28This is a big adjustment.
23:31It's...
23:33This is torture.
23:35You don't deserve this, you know.
23:38I owe Nigel everything.
23:40He's...
23:41He's my best mate.
23:47Perhaps...
23:48Maybe it could be helpful for both you and Nigel if...
23:52You take a break.
23:54Short or as long as you need.
23:56Let him adjust to his new routine here with us.
24:01No.
24:04Sometimes...
24:04Having a bit of space can help new residents adjust more easily.
24:09We'll keep you updated.
24:11Plan for you to come back.
24:13If, when, you've...
24:15You know, had some time to rest.
24:17Get your strength back.
24:20Maybe...
24:21You should let us take care of the both of you for a while.
24:26Do you know what?
