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 f**k.
02:15I don't know who she is.
02:16Who is she?
02:17Let's do 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,
03:33I haven't been totally sure Bon Voyage quite needs to 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?
03:48So 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.
03:58Oh!
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 me?
04:04I've got some nice water icing on it, can I breathe?
04:07Yeah, go and take it, it's lovely.
04:08Bless Lexi, though.
04:09What a good idea.
04:11Nigel's just part of here, isn't he?
04:12You know, but squares on his bones.
04:14Oh, talk to the witch.
04:15Yeah, man.
04:16That's him.
04:16Yeah.
04:17Hiya.
04:19There he is.
04:20There he is.
04:35Hey!
04:40I heard you were back.
04:43Are you all right?
04:44You know,
04:46just getting my head around the fact that my dad can recognise a pub,
04:48but not his own daughter.
04:51Don't listen to me.
04:53I'm hardly the priority.
04:54I'm just...
04:55I know, shocked.
04:56Shocked.
05:00I tried to contact you, but you've got a new number.
05:02God!
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 get out here, are you?
05:14Right, come on.
05:15Or we'll have you a drink.
05:17Yeah.
05:17Oh.
05:18How's that house and husband of yours?
05:20Your little girl!
05:21She's not little any more.
05:22No.
05:26Oh!
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.
05:43It'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.
06:05In the down times.
06:06Good listener.
06:07What?
06:08Messing up your Santa Claus, Lance?
06:10Yeah.
06:11I mean, you've got some homework.
06:14Hey, Dot always said,
06:15the best port and lemon this side of Beckham.
06:18Oh, yeah.
06:19Lord knows Jim tried to top him.
06:22Yeah, according to Dad,
06:23the only man who could set Grant Mitchell straight
06:25and walk away still wearing his own face.
06:28Mum always reckoned you preferred a nice cup of tea to a pint.
06:36Thanks.
06:43You going to have a sip?
06:45All this 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,
06:56has anyone heard the story about Nigel and Ricky Butcher's tactic?
07:00No.
07:03Well, they all woke up hanging.
07:05In a field, apparently.
07:08Don't know how they got there,
07:10where they are.
07:10Someone mentions the ferry, probably Grant.
07:13Looks like France.
07:15Must be France, right?
07:16Anyway, this is urgent,
07:18because this is the actual day of Ricky and Bianca's wedding.
07:21Oh.
07:22Nigel's the only one with an hour level.
07:24So we volunteers start speaking French.
07:27Well, the poor farmer hasn't got a clue what he's saying
07:29because they're not in France at all.
07:32They're in Kent.
07:33LAUGHTER
07:34LAUGHTER
07:35I'm so free.
07:40Bonjour.
07:51Friend of Chelsea's?
07:54I don't think we've met.
07:56I'd, uh, remember your face.
07:58Large one, is it?
08:01I doubt it.
08:02No, thanks.
08:04Cheers.
08:05God loves a try, right?
08:14What the hell's on the planet?
08:15Oh, back off, can you?
08:19So, Nigel's fine, yeah?
08:21He's safe, just...
08:23Just let him have this.
08:25It's 20 minutes.
08:30Yeah.
08:33Sorry.
08:47Why are you following me in here like some middle-aged stalker?
08:50You've come to tell me off.
08:52You're not the step-mom anymore.
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 some ways it was, yeah.
09:30And you wonder why I never came home for Christmas.
09:33Nigel just wanted to meet his granddaughter.
09:35No, Julie.
09:37No, Julie.
09:38Not enough.
09:39You won.
09:40Okay?
09:42You won.
09:43And I'm not interested in you or your opinions.
09:47I...
09:48I'm just gutted.
09:50He doesn't know who I am.
09:53I am gutted.
09:54You 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 I've lost the chance to tell him I'm sorry.
10:10But Dad never called me either, did he?
10:14And 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.
10:46Like the rest of us have.
10:48So, if...
10:49If you ever go off like that without telling us again,
10:53I'll get Cullen to take your laptop off, you ain't it,
10:56and get him to cancel your phone contracts and I'll...
11:00Or your mum.
11:03Your mum would be proud of you.
11:05I know that.
11:13Then what was it again? More hours in the back van?
11:16A lot more minimum wage and commission when you sell a car?
11:20Because, 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 talk to 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.
11:55Alice Favreite.
11:57Do you want me to get you a slice, Dad?
11:59You.
12:00Judy.
12:01Judy.
12:02Judy.
12:02It's okay.
12:03It's okay, I'm here.
12:03Judy.
12:04It's all right, it's all right.
12:05Hey.
12:06Cosmo.
12:06It's 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.
12:29That time you, um...
12:30You made him go with you up to the top diving board.
12:35Three flights up, it was.
12:36And then you got Corfeet.
12:40Turned around and walked all the way back to the bottom.
12:43I was only 30.
12:45And you...
12:47You felt obliged.
12:49You 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 those sugary doughnuts
13:01and bring them home with you.
13:03Oh?
13:04Yeah.
13:06And...
13:07Every weekend...
13:09The pair of you would have a competition.
13:12In the kitchen.
13:14In the kitchen.
13:15To see who could hold off from...
13:17Licking their lips first.
13:20I always won.
13:22I always let you in.
13:25And made her laugh.
13:30Dad.
13:36Dad.
13:43Uh...
13:44It's, uh...
13:45Sorry to break things up.
13:47It's, uh...
13:47Yeah, um...
13:49Someone has got a new home they need to move into.
13:52Hi!
13:53Finished the pint.
13:55I'm first.
13:57Er, Lexi, would you come back and help with that after tea?
14:02And, erm, maybe you and Clare can settle Nigel in and help.
14:07I'll bring his case along later.
14:11Right.
14:12How about Guard of Honour?
14:15Well, he's not going to walk.
14:17Yeah, she's right.
14:18We can still go see him.
14:19Exactly.
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.
15:01Woo!
15:04Woo!
15:07Woo!
15:10Woo!
15:11Hey, Marge.

19:35well i'm gonna be realistic i mean it's going to get worse
19:43everything
19:45and Nigel 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,
19:58and I've been on enough of those.
20:01It's not that easy to do, though.
20:04No.
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.
20:15Nigel will always...
20:17He'll always have my heart.
20:19The heart of an honourable woman.
20:21Mm-hm.
20:24You know,
20:27we've had so many happy years,
20:31and whatever time there is,
20:35now that this is what it's come to,
20:36then I will visit a man who looks like my husband.
20:40I'll do my best to keep him cheerful,
20:42and make sure he's safe.
20:46Find joy in little things like, um...
20:50like a cup of tea and a plet of bourbon biscuits
20:54for the wonderful,
20:56wonderful
20:58Nigel
20:59and you.
21:01And you.
21:02it's the least he deserves.
21:05If I can make his life better,
21:08then
21:11I need to be there for him.
21:14Don't I?
21:20Tell Julia...
21:22Oh, God, come on.
21:22See the family.
21:23Just tell Julia I'll visit.
21:42Mind you, we'll settle down.
21:45He's sleeping.
21:46You want to go in?
21:49Yes, yes, yes, yes.
21:52This is wrong.
21:54This is wrong.
21:55How is this?
21:56Hmm?
21:59How is this?
22:00Making his life any better?
22:03Transfer trauma is not uncommon
22:05in residents with...
22:08How could it have been any worse?
22:10In dying of pneumonia in hospital,
22:14you know,
22:14they could have just let him slip away.
22:16You know,
22:17with some sort of...
22:18some sort of...
22:20dignity.
22:21But it's...
22:24It's placed a smell.
22:31It's placed as though you do your job,
22:32isn't it?
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,
22:46gentle bloke.
22:48He's...
22:48He 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,
23:00in this place,
23:01he's waiting for the axe to fall with.
23:04We're kind of dogs,
23:05don't we?
23:06Mr Mitchell.
23:07No, he's in there.
23:09He's in there terrified.
23:12Lost in...
23:13Yeah,
23:14dementia.
23:16Nigel's...
23:17Nigel's disappeared,
23:18but...
23:20His body's just...
23:23His body's just keeping going,
23:24isn't it?
23:24It's obvious.
23:25How hard you've been working.
23:28I mean,
23:28this is a big adjustment.
23:33This is torture.
23:35You don't deserve this,
23:37you know.
23:38I owe Nigel everything.
23:40He's...
23:42He's my best.
23:43Mate.
23:46Maybe.
23:48Maybe.
23:48Maybe.
23:49It 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.
24:04Sometimes having a bit of space can help new residents adjust more easily.
24:09We'll keep you updated, plan for you to come back if, when, you've, you know, had some time to rest.
24:17Strength back.
24:20Maybe.
24:21Maybe you should let us take care of the both of you for a while.
24:27Do you know what?
24:34I can't.
24:35I can't.
24:36I can't.
24:37I can't do it.
24:38I can't do it.
24:40Care of burnout.
24:42We see it all the time.
24:45There's nothing to be ashamed of.
24:46Sorry.
24:47I'm sorry.
24:48I'm sorry.
24:50I'm sorry.
