05:16Good day.
05:17There we go.
05:19It used to be called Mothering Sunday.
05:22Oh, three-eighths. How much?
05:25Servants used to take the day off to visit their mothers
05:27and take the flowers and stuff.
05:29Oh, hear that? Where's my flowers and stuff?
05:32The, uh, roast lamb is looking fantastic.
05:35Veg is all prepped, and I'm about to start on your veggie patties.
05:39Nice. You're doing a cooking for a change.
05:41Give Aunt Nicaf the day off.
05:42Oh, you make it sound like I had a choice.
05:45Now I got told it's my day, I'm not going anywhere near the cooker.
05:48Yeah, it's too true.
05:49Come here, do you want me to take it?
05:52Lauren's taking her time.
05:53No, no, she'll be here in a minute.
05:54Yeah.
05:54Well, she better be, otherwise the surprise will be ruined.
05:59How am I supposed to sell cars when I can't even face getting in them?
06:04Well, Priya starts tomorrow, so we'll just get her to do them.
06:11That car's insured, Lauren. You'll lose money.
06:13Is that all you care about, the money?
06:15No, of course not.
06:19Look, maybe you're right, okay?
06:21Maybe I've been a bit heavy-handed with the business.
06:25So how about you ain't got to run every purchase past me anymore?
06:31If all that would make you happy?
06:34I don't even know if I'm cut out for this job anymore.
06:36Before you say anything, no, I'm not overreacting.
06:42What if Mark weren't there?
06:45Or that bloke, he could have had a knife.
06:49What would Jimmy or Louie do without me?
06:58You do know you own a washing machine, don't you?
07:00Yeah.
07:00I mean, if Kat had come back and found all these different piles of washing,
07:03I mean, doesn't Zoe do any housework?
07:06Jean. Jean, come on. She's had it tough, all right?
07:09And you come in and calling her daughter out as soon as you get home doesn't help.
07:13Oh, all right.
07:17I'll apologize.
07:19Has Aunty Lynn's dog died yet?
07:22Not yet, darling, but it's on its last legs.
07:24Lynn won't stop crying.
07:26Where's Ernie?
07:27On the bog. Do you want me to take you to them?
07:29No, I'm all right, mate.
07:31Okay, got to go.
07:32Hold on. Not even Happy Mother's Day.
07:34Happy Mother's Day, Mum.
07:37Oh, Zoe.
07:39It means the world to me.
07:40Oh, don't go all soppy on me now.
07:42It's only been over 40 years.
07:46Jean, get back okay?
07:47Yeah, and she keeps going on about Stacy and Sean
07:50and how much she misses them
07:51and how Mother's Day ain't gonna be the same without them
07:53and I just wanna shake her because my daughter's in prison and...
07:58Darling.
08:05I know we weren't invited, but Oscar's gone back to bed,
08:08so I thought we could take your space.
08:11Cheers.
08:12Go on, then.
08:13Keep the conversation polite for your sake.
08:15No, thank you.
08:15And Jack's not here.
08:16So we're a bit of luck.
08:17You don't won't be throwing any punches like you did last Christmas.
08:21I'm glad that bruise has gone down.
08:23I'm sorry that happened to you.
08:25It's all right.
08:27All right, Lauren.
08:29You're surprised.
08:32Hello.
08:34Oh.
08:35Oh, Nan!
08:36I'm bursting for the loaf.
08:39Oh, thank God.
08:39Cass, is it a freak?
08:41Yeah, yeah.
08:43Oh, Peter.
08:45Tanya said, thanks for the invite, but she couldn't make it.
08:50So I'm here instead.
08:51Huh?
08:52Here's Tanya again.
08:54Here's the old woman.
08:55No idea.
08:56Right, so let me get this straight, Peter, yeah?
08:58You've invited my ex-missus and her mum.
09:01Oh.
09:02What's into you?
09:03It's not like you were invited.
09:04What, you think all of you walking around the square bumping into Tanya?
09:07Do me a favour.
09:07I invited Tanya because it's Mother's Day
09:09and I thought it might be a nice idea for Lauren after the carjacking.
09:11Dad, can you just play nice?
09:13Yeah, I ain't seen Nan in ages.
09:19How are you feeling today?
09:22Oh, could be better.
09:24Just got to get over it and move on, ain't I?
09:27You will.
09:28You've got the right spirit.
09:29And besides, lightning don't strike twice, does it?
09:48I broke a bottle that honey was saving,
09:51so I was thinking that I could peel the label off
09:54and stick it on this one and no one will notice.
09:56What are your secrets say from me?
10:00No, sir, it's been declined
10:02Oh, no, no, no
10:04Oh, put it on my card
10:05Oh, I couldn't
10:06It's fine, isn't it? It's for honey, yeah?
10:09Oh, Linda, thank you so much
10:10I'll pay you back as soon as I've got a job
10:13Oh, bet you got lots of cars today, did you?
10:17A few
10:19Nothing from Johnny
10:20Oh, that's sad
10:21Mother's Day's always been a bit of a weird time for me
10:24Never had a good relationship with Mum
10:26A very controlling, spiteful woman
10:29And, of course, it's a sad reminder I never had a child
10:32But I suppose I'll find some way of passing the time
10:37I presume that you'll be spending it with Elaine
10:40Oh, yeah, she's going to the VIP, you know, Mother's Day lunch
10:43Oh, that sounds lovely
10:49You're welcome to join us
10:52I couldn't possibly
10:54What time?
10:58Is this a bit of all right, Kathy?
11:00Cheers
11:00Cheers
11:02Cheers
11:03Cheers
11:03Cheers, cheers, girl
11:04How's little W.J. getting on?
11:06Is she all right?
11:06Little Abby?
11:07Yeah, no thanks to you
11:10Where was I, darling?
11:11Uh, your daughter couldn't make it
11:14Oh, yeah
11:14Probably for the best
11:17Seeing as how the walking groin is here
11:20So I decided to come down
11:22See you and Oscar
11:24Are you coming over?
11:26Um, Oscar didn't come home last night
11:29Meaning he's in some poor idiot's bed
11:33Anyway, your wedding
11:36A bit of notice would have been nice
11:39Uh, nobody had any notice
11:40He said planned it
11:42And then, uh, sprung it upon us, didn't he?
11:44Sorry
11:45You what?
11:47Oh, that's Cindy, my mum
11:48Oh, yeah
11:50Lauren told me about you
11:52Everyone thought you was dead
11:56Yeah, well, she ain't
11:57You should be
11:58If I was dead, mate
12:00I'd come back to haunt you
12:02Uh, talking about, um, Abby or O.J.
12:06I'd like to meet her one day
12:07I'll have a word with Tanya
12:09I suppose you've got your claws in Oscar, now
12:12Yes, my son
12:13You've only got Tanya's word for that
12:17Muscles, bubbles
12:21So, Lauren
12:22What are you doing with Jimmy while you're working?
12:25Because if you've got a spare room, I'll be down
12:27No, they ain't
12:27They ain't got any spare rooms there, right?
12:29Cindy's there, Oscar's there
12:30There's nothing there
12:31Why can't she look after the baby?
12:33Ain't she the maternal type?
12:36I work
12:37I run my own LGBTQ ball
12:40Really?
12:41That's right, I've Oscar's early
12:44Does he still go both ways, Lauren?
12:47Yeah, he doesn't
12:48He's got the right idea
12:49If I had my time over
12:53What I say is
12:54Whatever floats your boat
12:56Is fine by me
12:57Cheers to that
12:59Fuck you, Ian
13:00You used to pay my Rainie
13:03For a bit of afternoon delight, didn't you?
13:05Or am I to judge?
13:08It's all you ever do
13:09Judge
13:10That and drive people away
13:11Dad
13:11Max, I think you'd better go
13:13I'm sorry, Lauren
13:14Your dad's ruining everything
13:15I've had that
13:18Yeah, probably right, Ian
13:21I'll make a move
13:22Nice catching up
13:27Well done, Laura
13:32Right, I'll take them
13:40So, uh
13:41Have you spoken to Zoe?
13:43No
13:44All right
13:45I heard her talking to Kat
13:47And she was, well, nearly crying
13:49So I felt worse
13:51Not that it's my fault that she's upset
13:53I mean, I called Jasmine out from the get-go
13:55And I told you numerous times
13:57Over and over
13:58But you wouldn't listen
13:59No one listened
14:00Okay, Jean, Jean
14:00Yeah, I get it
14:01Okay, you were right about Jasmine, all right?
14:03Thank you
14:04I didn't want a blue Peter badge
14:07Zoe's been through the ringer, Jean
14:09You know, she needs our support
14:10She doesn't want to keep being reminded about what happened
14:13You know, I don't get it
14:14I thought you were coming back with this sort of positive attitude
14:17Yes, thank you again, Alfie
14:19I did promise myself that I would leave all my negativity at Lynn's
14:23And what do I do?
14:23I arrive here, open my mouth and offend everyone
14:25No, Kat, not everyone
14:28Kat and Zoe were talking about Mother's Day
14:31Yeah, I did feel for her
14:34I mean, I miss
14:35I miss Stacey and the kids
14:38Ever such a lot
14:40Really, really miss them
14:42I know
14:45I'll talk to Zoe
14:47Well, at least I'll try
14:49I mean, she probably won't want to talk to me
14:50I think it's worth a try
14:53I reckon you'll be surprised
14:58And finally
15:00Here is
15:01Oh, yeah
15:01The meat gravy
15:02That's right
15:03Hang on, just before we tuck in
15:06A few words, if you don't mind
15:09Speech
15:09Thank you, Harvey
15:11I just want to say
15:13Mother's Day isn't just a time for mothers, is it?
15:19There's those of us who have lost mums
15:23And as mums
15:25We've lost children
15:27Yeah, I had a daughter
15:29I never got to spend Mother's Day with
15:31And you, Cindy
15:33You've missed so many Mother's Days
15:35I mean, Peter
15:38Lucy
15:39Stephen
15:40And your girls
15:41You know what, Gran?
15:41We're all
15:42We're all here now, though
15:43And that's what we need to focus on
15:45I never thought I'd be sat down here with
15:47My gran, my mum
15:48And my beautiful wife
15:50Who, by the way, is the best mum in the world
15:53Yeah
15:53Yeah
15:54To Lauren
15:55To my mum
15:56To all the mums
15:58To all the mums
15:59To Lauren
16:00And all the mums
16:01Thank you
16:06You know what, Lauren?
16:08I might have some work to put your way
16:10I'm exploring an opportunity to sell some high-end cars
16:12And thought, maybe we could do a tie-in
16:15That'd be great
16:15You see?
16:17Family helping family
16:18And that is what it's all about
16:21Yeah, we could talk after lunch
16:23No
16:23Right, can we eat?
16:24Yeah, let's eat over, Charlie
16:25Yeah, I'll serve you now
16:28Happy Mother's Day, Angel
16:32I thought this was supposed to be nitrate
16:34She pretty much invited herself
16:37Just be nice
16:40Oh, Bea
16:41How lovely that you could come
16:43Well, I couldn't pass off such a lovely invitation
16:45I suppose you'll get many of them
16:48Drink?
16:49Yeah, I'll have a small
16:50No, let's go wild
16:52I'll have a large glass of dry white wine
16:54Preferably from the New World
16:56Definitely not French
16:57Too acidic
16:59Right
17:02Thank you
17:07You're welcome to join us if you want
17:09I'm treating Mum
17:11Johnny's still not talking to me
17:12I mean, it's the first year ever
17:14He's not even sent me a cat
17:15Yeah, not now, Linda
17:15Okay
17:18You've got family hassles
17:22Alfie said you wanted a word
17:25Oh, um
17:28Yeah, come through
17:29Come through
17:36Um, I do
17:38I do have something
17:39To say to you
17:40Um, I need you to acknowledge
17:44My pain in having absolutely no one believe me
17:49When I warned you all on many occasions
17:52About Jasmine
17:54My feelings are just as valid as yours
17:59Please
18:02Okay
18:03I guess that must have hurt a lot
18:08Thank you
18:11And I am sorry for being so blinkered with my own feelings
18:17I should have been more aware of the pain that all this would have caused you
18:21And instead I was
18:23Focused on my own need for validation
18:27It's a fault of mine
18:28I am aware of it
18:29I'm glad you're aware of it
18:32Sorry
18:36Let's face it
18:38After everything she put me through
18:40I can see why you'd want to call Jasmine out
18:44But I need my daughter free
18:53Um
18:55Well, whether you've brought them up
18:56Or only just found them
18:59A mum is still a mum
19:02I don't think I even have the right to call myself a mum
19:08I've found Jasmine
19:10I've found my son
19:12Wherever he is in the world
19:14I hope he never comes near me
19:17Because he is better off without me in his life
19:21I was kidding myself
19:23If I thought my kids needed me
19:25The best thing I ever did
19:27Was give them up at birth
19:30I think that you know
19:32How bad a mum I was with Sean and Stacey over the years
19:36I was focused on my own feelings
19:38For many reasons
19:39And um
19:41Yeah, I regret that
19:42No, no
19:43My therapist said not to use the word regret
19:45I acknowledge that
19:46But you've got a great relationship with Stacey now
19:49Have I?
19:53Yeah, yeah
19:55Yeah, yeah, I have
19:58It's a heck of a lot of work though
20:02Maybe we could work on our friendship
20:05Relationship, you know
20:06Not that there is one at the moment
20:14I think you're wrong
20:17In not deserving to be a mum
20:21You deserve a second chance with your children
20:25Like I had with Sean and Stacey
20:27And it made all the difference
20:31I could support you in that
20:33You know, if you wanted me to
20:34You know, if you wanted me to
20:34Yeah, you probably don't
20:39I like that
20:50Hey, Shrimpy
20:51Lovely to meet your mum for the first time
20:53What do we call you, darling?
20:54Crabby
20:55Enjoy
20:56Cheers, mate
20:58Do you know, if I'd ever been blessed enough to have children
21:00I would have spoiled them rotten
21:02Hmm, I really spoiled Johnny
21:04Well, I mean, we nearly lost him after he was born
21:07It was touch and go
21:08Made him all the way precious
21:09This is supposed to take her mind off, Johnny
21:12Not rub her nose in it
21:13It's fine
21:15Oh!
21:16Somebody loves me
21:18Oh, look at that
21:19Isn't that lovely?
21:21Honey's posted a photo of the four of them
21:23With last day blues
21:25Oh, they're coming home tomorrow
21:28Right
21:29Where are you going?
21:30Oh, well, I want to make the house all lovely and nice for them
21:32I've got lots to do
21:34To keep it all sparkly
21:35So they don't mind you staying on when you freeload off them
21:39Freeload?
21:40Well, it's nice if you have a job, is it?
21:41Linda did mention that she's paying for your lunch
21:44I really don't mind
21:45I've actually got plenty of money
21:47But thank you for your concern
21:49I'll be sure to take you both out for lunch
21:52Very soon
21:58Aww
22:01He's gorgeous
22:03And this one
22:05You're going to be Prime Minister one day, aren't you?
22:08All right, come on in, Louis
22:09Let's get you upstairs to title that room you said you'd tidied
22:14I'll take him, come on, Jane
22:16Come on, little man
22:22Now I've got you alone
22:27Why didn't you bite Muscle's hand off?
22:30You want to make a go of the car lot, don't you?
22:32Yeah, I just need a few days to get my confidence back
22:35Darling
22:36Listen
22:38You better knock, it happens
22:41But you've got to move on
22:45What?
22:46Am I supposed to tiptoe around?
22:49Pampering you like everyone else?
22:53I've got too much respect for you
22:57You, my girl
22:58Have always been the fearless one
23:01I know, but I've got kids now
23:04Jimmy's accredit you
23:06Louis the same
23:07You're making excuses
23:09I'm saying this because I know you
23:12And I don't want your confidence slipping
23:18Life is full of challenges
23:22I know
23:24Look how you, you sorted Oscar out
23:27Neither of your parents could have done that
23:31Your mum's so proud of you
23:32Me too
23:34The strength you've got inside
23:39Is unbeatable
23:41It just doesn't feel like that sometimes
23:43Well it is
23:44You're strong, Lauren
23:46Stronger than most
23:48Never forget that
