Short filmTranscript
00:08So there's the seats from Wembley, right?
00:11Yeah.
00:12Look at the plaque.
00:13Oh, wow.
00:15That's really lovely.
00:16And these are the Wembley.
00:17They're the actual seats that my family sat on.
00:22A life-changing day.
00:24I remember going to the Cup Final in 1985,
00:27Watford against Everton,
00:29and I had to walk about three miles
00:31because I didn't have enough money to get the train
00:33from Watford to Wembley to meet the boys.
00:35Do you know what I mean?
00:36You're in the stands watching Watford, your team and all that,
00:39and right up with the pigeons and all that.
00:41And then three years later, you're actually on the bloody pitch.
00:44Mind blown.
00:45In the FA Cup Final.
00:46Mind blown.
00:46Winning it against the mightiest team on the planet at the time.
00:50Wow.
00:51Did you ever imagine that you were going to be doing that?
00:54I used to watch the England Games, right?
00:56I used to go to all the England Games when I was younger,
00:58and I used to wear my England kit and my England tracksuit
01:01in case one of the players didn't turn up.
01:05That's what you think in your head, don't you?
01:07That's amazing.
01:08Yeah.
01:18It's been a long, chaotic summer.
01:21Are we on?
01:23And it's not over yet.
01:25Come in there and you go,
01:26oh, bosh.
01:28The progress at Manor House is fantastic right now.
01:30Pipes, radiators, kitchens.
01:32It's my fix, if you like.
01:34With your snags in front of me.
01:36There's too much white.
01:37The Manor is on the home straight.
01:39Emma's disco lights.
01:40Come on, Patty, what do you think, son?
01:42Excellent.
01:42I love it.
01:43Woo-hoo!
01:44There's a floating sign going in there.
01:46Saying what?
01:47V Jones is the bollocks.
01:49Oh, dear.
01:52I'm now praying for one final thing to break my way.
01:55I need the lake house permission to come through
01:58so that I can roll everybody from the Manor House
02:01down the hill into work
02:03because what I don't want to do
02:04is start losing all the trades.
02:05We're going to do the fence in black, are we?
02:07Yeah.
02:07Well, I've only done half of it.
02:09Can you wire it up so I go, bosh?
02:11I've got the carpenters, the electricians, the painters.
02:13I've got us all busy.
02:14Keep the memento going.
02:21Good girl.
02:23Good girl.
02:25Good girl, Mama.
02:26Good girl.
02:28But the tradies up at the Manor
02:30ain't the only circus in town right now.
02:32They're just shitting machines.
02:34It's just a factory of shite.
02:37Pip's five pups are thriving up at the farm
02:39and she's not the only one who's gone full-on Mama Bear.
02:4315 days old
02:45and they're doing amazing.
02:47I've had many, many puppies in my time
02:49and this is an Emma time
02:52to have the chaos of the puppies.
02:54I'm at the Manor House.
02:55I've got to get on with this job.
02:56I just can't deal with the piss and shit.
03:00They're full on.
03:01They just go for it.
03:02It ain't my thing.
03:03I'll be at the Manor House with the lads.
03:06We've got one brown.
03:07All the girls are black.
03:09One slightly with a chocolate sheen.
03:12Who have we got here?
03:13This is Minnie because she's the smallest.
03:16She's tiny.
03:17But she's getting bigger and she's all black.
03:20She's beautiful.
03:22Hi!
03:22And then we've got our black and tan boy.
03:27He's just so gorgeous.
03:28Look at him.
03:29You're a very handsome boy, aren't you?
03:33Good girl, Mama.
03:36And here's Joy.
03:38Joy is the girl that I pulled out and revived.
03:43And she is the first one to open her eyes.
03:48She beat everyone to it.
03:51And she's doing so well.
03:53It was such a stressful time.
03:56That, um, I just thought, like, she represents Joy, really.
04:02Because against all odds, I didn't think I was going to be able to pull her out that day.
04:07I really didn't.
04:07It's a bit of a blur.
04:09Look at her.
04:10She's a complete bruiser.
04:13And she's thriving.
04:16Yes!
04:20It's hard because I'd sort of keep them all.
04:23He is a real character, this one.
04:27Um, he is the troublemaker.
04:30He's the Vinny of the group.
04:31He just terrorises everyone.
04:34He just causes mayhem and trouble.
04:36He was the last to open his eyes.
04:38He's just the Vinny of the group.
04:40I really, I've sort of fallen in love with him.
04:45What are you doing?
04:47Hey?
04:48I mean, look at him.
04:49I mean, he's hilarious.
04:51I should really call him Vinny.
04:53I should, shouldn't I?
04:55He is, look at him.
04:56Look at his face.
04:57He is just such a little bruiser.
05:00He's like, yeah, come and have a go if you think you're hard enough.
05:03Hey?
05:04That is the crazy gang.
05:06And there we have it.
05:07The absolute crazy gang.
05:09Oh.
05:13Well, I've been running around like a blue-ass fly.
05:17Hello?
05:18I've not had time to check in on Wobbs' progress.
05:21Thought you was hiding down here.
05:23It's lovely, isn't it?
05:24It's coming on.
05:25It's coming on.
05:26We're getting there.
05:26Looks great.
05:27But we're not there yet.
05:29What I'm building here is probably, I would say, 85% of men's dream.
05:36But we'd all love a man cave.
05:37We do.
05:38It's a man thing.
05:38We all love a shed at the bottom of the garden.
05:41Yeah, yeah.
05:41Be careful.
05:41They're not doing that, are they?
05:43Or is that optical illusion?
05:43No, it's optical, mate.
05:44Might be nice at both corners, mightn't it?
05:46Yeah, well, if you want to, we can.
05:48There and there, I think, because...
05:49Well, we could, but, I mean, that's butting...
05:50If you want me to, I can.
05:52I think it would be nice.
05:53Okay, mate.
05:54The older you get, the more time you spend in your shed.
05:57But with him, he can't sit still for five minutes,
05:59so I can't see that he's going to get any benefit out of it.
06:02That's wrong, because that's fucking above that.
06:05You don't, Jack.
06:05No, it will drive me mad, Wobbs.
06:07You know it will.
06:07It won't be.
06:09Wobbs, I'm not here to drive you mad.
06:10We'll just do a distraction dance.
06:13Yeah, that's it, darling.
06:13We'll just, you know, just look over there.
06:15No, they're only little...
06:17Listen, on every job, there's little snaggings.
06:20Yeah.
06:20And he is the snag master.
06:22I am the snag master.
06:23What I'd like to say is, let's finish,
06:24and then we'll have a snag.
06:25How's the diet going?
06:29Can you see me?
06:30Look.
06:32Can you see me?
06:33Emma, can you see me?
06:34Barely.
06:34Can you see me?
06:35Barely.
06:36Are you nailed on?
06:37Are you, like, so aggressive with it?
06:39Er, I...
06:40Or are you easing up with it?
06:41No, I'm...
06:41Yeah, I'm pretty full on with it.
06:44You seem better in yourself for it, I think.
06:46You've got to feel right about yourself.
06:50Before everything else.
06:51Because if you don't, you don't care.
06:52That's what I found.
06:53Yeah.
06:54You know what I mean?
06:54You ain't bothered.
06:55You ain't bothered what you look like.
06:56But if you start to feel good about yourself again...
06:58Yeah.
06:59...it all helps.
06:59There you go.
07:00And that is why, that is why, you seem better.
07:03Yeah, I am, yeah.
07:03I think you're better in your head.
07:04The other thing is as well, you've got to deal with today,
07:08because yesterday he's gone
07:10and tomorrow you'll deal with what comes along tomorrow.
07:13Life is today.
07:14You're in life now.
07:15100%.
07:15Not tomorrow, not yet.
07:16Yesterday he's done.
07:17100%.
07:17100%.
07:18So just live today and just stick with it, you know what I mean?
07:21Because you can...
07:22The first thing, you see it in your face
07:23and then you go,
07:24Oh, fucking hell, he's lost it there and all.
07:25Yeah, 100%.
07:26Well done, Wobbs.
07:27I think Wobbly's done brilliant.
07:30I think he's coming to terms with things.
07:32He's coming to a place where he can get up in the morning
07:37and start functioning.
07:39And watch that level.
07:40It's...
07:40He's got me at it now.
07:41Piss off.
07:42Oi, levels are not lying bastards.
07:44They tell the truth.
07:45Yeah.
07:53Hon?
07:54Yeah?
07:56Come and have one of these apples.
07:59Hon, I've got the plan in through for the lake house.
08:02What?
08:03Yes.
08:04You're joking.
08:05I ain't.
08:05Look.
08:06What, all of it?
08:08All done.
08:09It's done.
08:12It's only taken three years.
08:14Wow.
08:15Are we going to call him a reinforcement?
08:17I'm actually shaking.
08:18Finally, we've pressed the button on the lake house.
08:21I couldn't sleep easier right now,
08:23knowing I've got two years' worth of work in front of me.
08:26Here's an apple.
08:28From the tree.
08:32They're called Juju's.
08:37This is going to be a huge project.
08:40I mean, absolutely huge.
08:43He is going to be very excited.
08:46I've done everything by the book, and I've got a smile on me face.
08:49Rock and roll.
08:50Rock and roll.
08:52I ain't going to stop us now.
09:05Get in the green light on the lake house is like having Christmas come early.
09:10Whatever you're doing with your lorries and diggers, I need you out of here.
09:13Just the boost I need to get the manor over the line and move on.
09:18Let's go, let's go, let's go.
09:20The timing is everything.
09:22Pack that whip.
09:23I'm trying to make everything run smooth like clockwork.
09:29Winter doubles your money, doubles your time, doubles your frustration.
09:33So I want to get in there and get a good move on before October comes.
09:37How much longer have we got on these, mate?
09:39Yeah, we've got to really push on now.
09:41This has been a project of his for the last three years.
09:44He must have been dying to get started on it.
09:47So won't be tired of anyone stranding his way now because he's going to go mad at it, I'm sure.
09:52I'm just winding the lads up now.
09:54Plenty to do.
09:55Short time to do it in.
09:56That's normal, Grant.
09:57You know what I mean?
09:57It's almost like you've unleashed the dragon.
10:00We're waiting on Russ again, are we?
10:02Fucking hell, Russ.
10:03But thankfully, rising star Glenn.
10:05Sun never sets on Glenn.
10:07That's right.
10:07And his digger.
10:08Has shown he can take whatever I throw at him.
10:11It's a long snagging list of little bits that have been started,
10:14not finished, that we have to do in order.
10:17So we're just working through them now.
10:18We've got a short on the list, not keep adding to it.
10:21Every time I come up here, you find something else, something else, something else.
10:25And as soon as we get that done, get me to the lake house.
10:27But he already wants me there this week, but that's not going to happen.
10:31Come on, let's go, baby.
10:36And I'm not the only one raring to go.
10:39Come on, then.
10:40Ooh, the old tail's wagging.
10:42We've now got Pip back.
10:44Uh, shapes coming back on.
10:46Up, up, up, up, up.
10:47Good girl.
10:48Woo, woo, woo.
10:50First time out.
10:51Back with your dad.
10:52Eh?
10:53She's shaking.
10:54She's shaking, like, with adrenaline.
10:56Just like me on the old football field when I used to come out of the dressing room.
10:59Eh, Pip?
11:00Ready?
11:00Ready?
11:01She's back.
11:02She's out.
11:03She's snatched back, got her figure back.
11:06She is beside herself.
11:09If she cannot be out with Vinny, diggers, action, constant chaos, if she can't be out there with
11:17him doing that, then she's just depressed.
11:21I'm celebrating with a cup of coffee.
11:23Now she's back.
11:24It's great.
11:25We've got me wingman back, girl.
11:28I'm going to show the old flap, Jack.
11:32The first call of duty.
11:34Here he is, look.
11:35Here he is.
11:35Checking out the manor's new custom-built gates.
11:38All right, go.
11:39And delivered this morning by Blacksmith Goat.
11:49I'm going to put the posts in now.
11:50We're standing there.
11:51I'm going to put the gates over there.
11:53His work is magnificent.
11:55It's unbelievable.
11:56I think you've hit it in a sweet spot.
11:58Well done, mate.
11:59I really do.
12:00Yeah.
12:01You don't want great, big, massive things.
12:03It's still got to blend in.
12:04It's not Wentworth.
12:05Do you know what I mean?
12:06Exactly.
12:06Is it Buckingham Palace, mate?
12:08Is it Clarence House?
12:10I'd lift that when I was younger.
12:12Yeah.
12:15I think that's got to be a bit more of an angle, you know?
12:18No, she's about right.
12:19That's higher than that, though, Goat, isn't it?
12:21No, it's not.
12:22I'll just say it's illusion.
12:23Is it?
12:24Yeah.
12:25Just an illusion.
12:27Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ah.
12:29Mate, I think they look good.
12:35Having lit a fire under everyone else's arses, I need to put my money where my mouth is and sort
12:41my own snack list out.
12:42And one thing I need to get squared away before summer's out is the beach I built for when the
12:48grandkids visit next.
12:50I love lake swimming.
12:52The excitement of going down there in the mornings, you don't want to do it, but you do it, and
12:57once you're in, it really lifts your whole spirit.
13:00It's amazing.
13:02I put the entire job on hold after me bodge job with the builder's sand, but now Colsy's joined Emma's
13:08little paddling posse, something tells me I'm on borrowed time to get it sorted.
13:14I know it's the wrong stuff.
13:15It's on the list, and I will go back to it.
13:20Oh!
13:26It's quicksand.
13:27It's got the wrong sound, hasn't it?
13:31It's quicksand.
13:32That's a fucking surprise.
13:35I will take a little digger down there, take some out, use that as me bedding, and put me quartz
13:42on top.
13:42That's my next plan.
13:46Do you feel like you're connected to your body, like your breath?
13:52Oh!
13:53Oh!
13:54Oh!
13:56God, this is lovely.
14:00Because it's meant to be good for ADHD.
14:02But you sound like you're struggling a bit, and I feel quite cool.
14:06I think when anybody sort of comes to the countryside from more of a town-y situation, they're a bit
14:14apprehensive, maybe, of the quietness from it.
14:17But I think Colsy, it's really fun to watch him sort of come to life.
14:25Seeing him enjoy the swimming is just lovely.
14:29Shall I try and walk out where the beach was?
14:32Yeah, up there.
14:32Right.
14:33You're David Hasselhoff vibes, and I'm Pam, OK?
14:37Right, I've got weeds.
14:38Here we go.
14:39You are the hoff!
14:42Oh, you...
14:44Yes!
14:45She can't get up here.
14:46OK, take two.
14:48That was a test.
14:50Yes!
14:51Go!
14:52Ah!
14:53You're doing it, yes.
14:54Ah!
14:55Yep.
14:56That is stunning.
14:57Love your work.
14:59David Hasselhoff.
15:01I'll eat you higher.
15:01I feel like Mr. fucking Blobby.
15:04Ah!
15:08I ain't throwing the towel in on me beach just yet.
15:11I'll add the fix to young Glenn's ever-expanding snag list.
15:16With Lake House planning finally in me pocket, the beach ain't the only thing that needs a good clear-out.
15:22You never know what's behind there, do you?
15:24Come on.
15:25Yeah, perfect.
15:26And the barn on the edge of the property seems a good place to start.
15:31These are all from the lady I brought them off.
15:33They must have stored them all here and never took them.
15:36When you see an old lady in an armchair and you're sitting on her bed in the living room
15:43and she tells you the struggle it was to keep the farm going and she was terrified of losing her
15:50legacy.
15:51She didn't want people coming in and splitting it up.
15:54When she said to me, she called me in, she said, would you buy this place and keep it as
15:58is?
15:59I was like, eh?
16:00Because there was a lot of people who wanted this place.
16:01I can imagine, yeah.
16:02She said, I'll only sell it to you.
16:04She said, I said, all right.
16:05So anyway, we came to a deal and everything and she said, the other part of the deal is...
16:09Because you bought it while she was still in the property, didn't you?
16:11Yeah, still alive.
16:12Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
16:13And I said, she can live it until the day she dies.
16:16That is a side of Vincent that not a lot of people see.
16:19He has got a very kind side.
16:22You know, he was very good to me when I was down.
16:24He kind of resonates with people that are in a bad stage in their life.
16:27He just tries to give them a bit of a pat on the back, really.
16:29Part of the deal was, her mum, there's a little field down there called Mumsfield, they call it.
16:35Her mum is buried down there.
16:37When I put the ashes down there with her mum.
16:39With her mum, lovely.
16:40And that's called Mumsfield.
16:42She's the kind of old girl that will be sitting on top of that oak tree on a big branch
16:46looking down and going,
16:48Ha, ha, ha, go on, Vin.
16:50Someone's life, innit? Someone's memories.
16:52That's where I get a bit emotional about it all.
16:54Yeah, I know, yeah.
16:55This lady had amassed what she'd amassed around her in her lifetime.
16:59And it was all just left in a pile.
17:01That's somebody's life.
17:03Years ago, that would have meant something to somebody.
17:05Yeah, look at that, that's nice.
17:06Give that to Simon, isn't it?
17:07He'll make me a nice stick out of that.
17:08He would do, wouldn't he?
17:10And it got me thinking, and I'm thinking, is that what life's all about?
17:14Do you go through life collecting all this stuff for it to mean nothing?
17:20Vinny picked a stick up, and it looked to me as though it resonated with him.
17:24You never know what you're going to find.
17:26That'll clean up nice.
17:27I like to think that I will carry on her legacy.
17:30We're the keepers.
17:32All we are is the lock keepers for her.
17:35Whatever we do down there, it will always be Celeste's house.
17:39The old Celeste's stick.
17:41That'd be nice, wouldn't it?
17:49The most ridiculous idea I've ever, ever heard.
18:00You can't let people on this.
18:01This is too dangerous.
18:03And also, it's covered in goose shit now.
18:05So, I don't think there'll be sunbathing on this.
18:07It's not sand trope, it's building sand.
18:10El Rongo.
18:11Look at this shit everywhere.
18:21Another day.
18:22Morning, boys.
18:23You okay?
18:24Yeah, good.
18:25Another round in the ring.
18:27No, it can't be fucking done.
18:29Keeping the pressure on.
18:30We'll get that done, that done.
18:31We'll get the table in.
18:33Some few chairs.
18:34Because before the bell rings for the main event at the lake house.
18:37Who's that leaving?
18:39What time do you call this?
18:40I've got a few more belts lined up over on this side of the hill.
18:44Straight forward.
18:45Just lift the front.
18:46That's it.
18:47There you go.
18:48That is the absolute nuts.
18:50How big it is.
18:57One job I've got to stop dancing around is the beach by the jetty.
19:01Right, Pip.
19:02Come on then.
19:03It's been hanging over me all summer.
19:05We need a beach open sign, don't we?
19:08Yeah, that's it.
19:09Yeah.
19:09Right, that's spooky.
19:10And with the right sand finally in hand, it'll be Costa del VJ come sundown.
19:16That's a pop of beach sand, isn't it?
19:18Absolutely.
19:18Look, build a castle out of that, mate.
19:20Look, look.
19:22Come on, Zachy, let's get it in.
19:23Moment of truth, then.
19:30I'm not as white as I thought it would be.
19:32Is that as white as it comes?
19:34Yeah.
19:34Perfect.
19:35Here we go, look.
19:36Taking all the glory, Glenn.
19:38No, no.
19:38Take it.
19:39Taking all the glory.
19:40It's there to be taken.
19:46Sometimes I take 10 steps forward and 15 back, but then I'll take another 10 forward.
19:54But this is what I envisage.
19:55Maybe we should start an interior design company.
19:58I'd love it.
19:59I'm good at that.
20:00You have got vision, haven't you?
20:02Just that everybody's not on the same...
20:04No.
20:06Well, the trouble is, everybody's got to do your vision.
20:09I'm going too fast for you fucking lot.
20:13When he first suggested it at a beach, I thought, nah, but...
20:16You know what?
20:16As did I.
20:17Mr. Richie's got two of them, mate.
20:19Oh, there you go.
20:19That'll come.
20:20That'll come.
20:20There'll be three.
20:21There'll be three here, then.
20:21That'll come.
20:22There'll be three.
20:23You're going to love that.
20:25Yeah.
20:25I know you've got enough to do, but if you can just come and rake it every morning before
20:29you start work.
20:29I'll put that on my list, yeah.
20:30Is that all right?
20:31I'll leave that hour earlier.
20:32Yeah, stick that on your list, if you don't mind.
20:34I'll de-shit it first and then...
20:40Sand swapped out and the beach finally squared away.
20:44I know my grandkids will be made up with my efforts next time they come and stay.
20:49Harry!
20:52Hey!
20:53How are you doing, mate?
20:54Good.
20:56Eddie.
20:57What, mate?
20:58I'm playing good.
20:59Where's your tooth gone?
21:01It fell out a few weeks ago.
21:03Yeah?
21:04The tooth fairy gave me a whole part of you.
21:08Oh!
21:09Guess what I've got.
21:11Oh!
21:14Oh, my God!
21:15Oh!
21:17Look at his nose!
21:20Yeah.
21:20We'll put her back, shall we?
21:23They don't seem so distant because you can just video call them.
21:28But there's nothing better than to have them here and give them a cuddle.
21:31Harry's straightening his egg, Brendan.
21:34Have you?
21:34Let's have a look.
21:36Oh, well done.
21:38Are you walking without the crutches now?
21:39Yeah.
21:40My grandson had cancer of the leg.
21:43I mean, he's clear, but he's not out of the woods yet.
21:46He's had a lot of his ear.
21:47He's doing really well.
21:48Well, that's good news, Harry.
21:49Well done.
21:50Keep going.
21:50Keep strong.
21:51I've been building a beach for you down the lake.
21:55Have you?
21:55Very nice.
21:56It's all known of yours.
21:57All of those.
21:59Yeah.
21:59All white sand.
22:00Lovely white sand.
22:02The weather the way it's been when we have gone over, I would get a tad.
22:06Yeah.
22:07Shame you didn't get over this time, but we'll get over later.
22:10We'll get over later on.
22:11Talk to you next week on your birthday, Harry.
22:15All right?
22:15Okay.
22:16Ed, give us a kiss and I'll see you later.
22:18You got a kiss for granddad.
22:22Eddie.
22:26You little farter.
22:27See you later.
22:28See you, Harry.
22:29Bye.
22:31Those kids remind me of what I've got to be thankful for in this life.
22:36But knowing that everyone's as fortunate, today I'm given a little helping hand to a charity
22:41that hits close to home.
22:43So the Magic Taxi send not only Terminal kids to Disneyland,
22:47and also their siblings that don't really get as much attention at this time, obviously,
22:54because all the attention goes on to the child that's very, very ill.
22:58So the cabboys take them to Disneyland.
23:01They drive them there.
23:03And to help raise funds for the volunteers' next trip...
23:06Bring that round to here, girls.
23:08Pull it up to here and we'll serve from here.
23:10I've auctioned off a day's clay shooting and invited the cabboys along for the ride.
23:20My connection is my grandson had cancer of the leg and obviously, you know,
23:25it's brought it all home to me, you know, Harry's fight and these other kids' fights.
23:31So it's very close to the heart.
23:38So, um, today is all about the children with us and the children that are not.
23:44That's what today is all about.
23:46Um, and it's great that you've all given your time, all my lot have given their time to support you
23:51guys,
23:51to show you our respect.
23:54It's all about fun today and it's all about such a fantastic cause.
24:01All right, let the games commence, boys.
24:07Oh, pull.
24:08Pull.
24:11Oh, nearly made it for that.
24:13Early. Straight at it.
24:15Oh, my God.
24:16Conservation shot.
24:18We'll be all right this year, Mick.
24:19We'd better put another day in.
24:20Pull.
24:24Straight at the rabbit.
24:25Yes.
24:27There you go.
24:29Brilliant, mate.
24:29Brilliant.
24:30That's what it's all about.
24:31Fun.
24:32How many does he get?
24:33One.
24:34Great.
24:35Absolutely great.
24:36It really is.
24:36So, walking around, there's a lot of people smiling and laughing and...
24:39We'll do our bit.
24:40Yeah, no, it is absolutely fantastic.
24:42You know, as we always said, all got their stories, haven't they?
24:45Every front door's got a story.
24:46It really has.
24:49It's not just those affected by cancer that support this charity.
24:53Jim's been sponsoring a taxi since he lost his lad in an accident four years ago.
24:58How old was Alfie?
24:5924.
25:01It's hard to come to terms with.
25:03A loss like that.
25:05Every day of the week, we go to the grave.
25:07Do you?
25:07Yeah.
25:07Change of flowers.
25:08Sometimes we go there at 11 o'clock at night.
25:10I know, because you'll feel guilty.
25:12Yeah.
25:13And I lost tan.
25:13And you lost your wife, yeah.
25:15It's a process, mate, and it takes time.
25:18Everything eaps on very early as well, but you start coping with it.
25:22You should get up in the morning and do the first task of the day, do it properly.
25:27And then you can do the next one a bit better, you know?
25:29And then, finally, all these hundreds of pieces will slowly, slowly come back together.
25:36You know what I mean?
25:37At the moment, your task is you're going to the grave every day.
25:41You know, you have got a task.
25:42It takes a long time, mate, and you've got to process it.
25:45Well, you think four years on, it would get a little bit easier, wouldn't you?
25:49But it seems to be harder for me.
25:50I don't know.
25:52You're around that three, four.
25:53Every time I think about it, am I break down?
25:55I don't know, on national TV.
25:57I had the same chat and burst into it on Piers Morgan.
26:00But I got it out there, I helped other blokes.
26:03I said, yeah, it's all right to fucking talk.
26:05It's all right to fucking cry and show our emotions.
26:07Why not?
26:09What I do is how, mate, I've been there, you don't apologise for me.
26:13But I look to see how proud I'm making her now.
26:17I just keep thinking this.
26:19Everyone says, God only takes the good first.
26:21Well, he definitely took the good with my boy.
26:23There you go.
26:23There you go.
26:24And take that with you and embrace that.
26:26I talk to the grave every day.
26:27Yeah, you will.
26:28You will.
26:29You'll be driving along and having a chat.
26:31I do try to enjoy myself, but I do think about him.
26:34Don't feel guilty about that.
26:36I used to feel that.
26:37Feel guilty about enjoying yourself.
26:39He's going to smile at that.
26:41Boy loves you.
26:41And, you know, he wants you to be happy, mate.
26:49This is lovely today.
26:50And I'm walking around.
26:51There's people who have got smiles on their faces.
26:53You know, and I think what a lot of people have gone through
26:56is what Vinny's been through, I've been through,
26:58what they're going through.
26:59It's very, very difficult when you're going through grief
27:02to talk about it.
27:03Very hard.
27:04Very, very hard.
27:06So what he's done today is great.
27:09I've been through a lot of grief one way or another,
27:12my wife and my mum, in the last few years.
27:15And people look and say, he's been through this.
27:17He knows what we're talking about.
27:18We trust him.
27:19And that's a massive word, the trust word.
27:29After today, I need to take a moment to myself
27:34and have a breather.
27:39That's it, but it just sat there.
27:40Didn't know that was there.
27:49This is where the roe,
27:51the roebuck will come and stand here, look.
27:59It's a nice deer down there.
28:05My little spot.
28:06I do like this little spot here.
28:13I do like this little spot here.
28:18God, that's it just there, look.
28:22Good-looking boy, isn't it?
28:24That's your typical English ring neck hat, isn't it?
28:29Being alone with nature helps me through the tough days.
28:34It gives peace to reflect on the hard times.
28:38Talking to Jim, it just flooded back so many memories.
28:41You know, it's devastating.
28:42And the only way I can sit and listen and that is because I've been there and done it.
28:48I've been through it.
28:49He's going through it.
28:51And I'm still going through it.
28:52And I always will for the rest of my life go through it.
28:55Losing me mum, it's something that's very personal.
29:00It's a massive, massive blow that I'm still holding in, I think.
29:09We're a couple of months on now.
29:11It worries me a little bit.
29:13There's been no breakdown.
29:14It does worry me a little bit.
29:17I don't think you can control grief.
29:20It's uncontrollable.
29:21And with my mum, I'm trying to keep it away.
29:27Whether that's the right or wrong thing, I don't know.
29:29But it's painful, it's hard, you know.
29:36You've got to keep busy or you'll crumple.
29:41And I ain't going to crumple.
29:46It is the fear of crumpling that keeps me going, I think.
29:53Maybe I'm keeping myself too busy right now.
29:55I'm a little bit worried that if I slow down a little bit,
29:58it might all of a sudden fall out of the sky
30:00and be like a massive weight on me.
30:03But I'm just hoping that won't happen.
30:15At the manor, while I keep an eye on snags indoors...
30:19What the fuck is that?
30:21...old Glenny boy is a man on a mission.
30:23That's it.
30:24...making good the surrounding acreage churned up by my army of diggers.
30:28Commission touches, tarmac, topsoiling, final dressing in, seed it, done.
30:34So as long as no one interferes with our freshly laid topsoil,
30:37then no hiccups.
30:39Out of the manor house Friday, into the lake house Monday.
30:43Finally, everything's getting tied off proper.
30:46Come on!
30:47She's just in her element.
30:49She has spent more time on a building site than I have.
30:52Look, he's here.
30:54Goat!
30:54The great man himself.
30:57Oh, wow, Goat!
30:59They are lovely, aren't they?
31:00Do you like the weight and the girth of them?
31:02Oh, I was going to mention that.
31:03I'm feeling the mighty hand of Goat.
31:05Yes, that's it.
31:06It took us two weeks to do all the scrolls.
31:08No!
31:10What's he doing?
31:10Stop!
31:11Oh, no!
31:12No, no!
31:13Who's that?
31:14He is not going to get across that mud.
31:16Who is that?
31:17What is he doing?
31:19That's a plumber.
31:20He will not get over the top of that mud.
31:22That's all seeded.
31:23Gross.
31:23Yeah?
31:24Couldn't wait five minutes.
31:25Oh!
31:27He's just realising.
31:27Here we go.
31:28He's going back again.
31:29He thought about it!
31:31It was all going far too well.
31:33And someone has just driven over our freshly seeded topsoil.
31:37We were getting through the list at a rate of knots,
31:40but behaviour like that obviously sets us back,
31:43which now I need to correct.
31:45So I'll add that back on the list.
31:49Whilst work motors along at the manor house
31:51and the summer starts to draw to a close,
31:55over at the farm, we've got a big decision to make.
31:58Be careful, because they chase you and your feet,
32:01you don't want to stand on one.
32:03Come on then.
32:04Ooh.
32:05And since moving to the outdoor pen,
32:08the pups are giving Blondie the runaround.
32:10100% they've got it from Pip.
32:12Pip is an outdoor doggy.
32:15She never wants to be indoors,
32:16and her pups are the same, so it seems.
32:21I do like the black and tan.
32:22Look.
32:23Ooh!
32:24The time has come,
32:26and I've told her we need to decide
32:28which one we're going to keep.
32:30The biggest problem we're going to have
32:32is Emma's going to want to keep all the puppies.
32:34This is Joy.
32:36That's the one.
32:36Oh, she's gorgeous.
32:37She is gorgeous.
32:39Joy was our...
32:40Is this tiny?
32:41That's Minnie.
32:42Minnie.
32:42It's basically very difficult having to choose
32:47between five beautiful, amazing little pups.
32:51How do I do this?
32:52This is Heartbreak Hotel.
32:53So I am trying to persuade Vinny.
32:57Potentially, could we keep more than one?
33:00We are keeping one.
33:01Not two.
33:03Not five.
33:05We're keeping one.
33:07I'm having sleepless nights about it,
33:09because how do you choose?
33:10Should I tell you...
33:11Look.
33:12Just look.
33:17Come on, come on, come on.
33:20How do you even handle it?
33:22The size of...
33:24I know.
33:24Like a little polar bear.
33:26Like a little seal.
33:28He didn't have ankles for the longest time,
33:31because he was too fat.
33:32He had cankles only a mother could love.
33:35He's massive.
33:37He's like a little Chewbacca, isn't he?
33:39Yeah.
33:41Look, see if they make the noises.
33:44Look, I would put you under the cosh now.
33:47What would be your choice?
33:49I just can't cope.
33:51I would honestly take Joy, the one you save.
33:53But I do love Buster as well,
33:55because he reminds me of you.
33:57Is he that intelligent?
33:59He's a bruiser.
34:01And he's a very naughty boy.
34:04I wouldn't go for a boy.
34:05So maybe it's Joy then.
34:07I mean, that is the only one I've properly named.
34:10I think it's a no-brainer.
34:11So the decision has been made.
34:13We're keeping Joy.
34:15And I think she's got what it takes
34:17to join the rest of this crazy gang.
34:21She looks nuts.
34:22Welcome to the family, Joy.
34:24You'll fit right in.
34:32Looks like hiding in the woods has done wonders for Wobbly's progress in more ways than one.
34:38I mean, this is basically the final sort of clear-up now.
34:42A little bit of touching up to do with the paint, and then I'm out of here.
34:45It's been probably one of the most enjoyable jobs I've done down here.
34:48I've done for him over the years, to be honest with you,
34:50because he's basically just said to me, build me a cabin, and left me to it, which is great.
34:56Hopefully he likes it, but I'm pleased with the way it's turned out.
35:01I'll put it this way.
35:01If that was down the bottom of my garden, I'd be delighted.
35:03I'd love it down the bottom of my garden.
35:05I really would.
35:06It's nearly as big as my house where I live, so it's...
35:12The greatest thing for me this year, and I have been alone down here a lot,
35:15just to get on with it, which obviously gives you a lot more time.
35:19And so I've been able to focus a little bit more on myself
35:21and get back to where I need to be,
35:23and I feel a lot, a lot happier than I have been in the past.
35:26But it's years I've been here now, and, yeah, I was in the dark places at some points,
35:31and, you know, just being here, keeping me busy, keeping me going, it helped.
35:34You know, I have sort of woke up now and realised that, you know,
35:40I've got to start looking after myself a bit more.
35:44Got my ladders away, my paint away, and I am out of here.
35:51I think the man cave is absolutely magnificent.
35:54We can go down there, me and Patty or Colsey, whatever,
35:57let's go down there, chill out, no-one about, lovely views.
36:01Well, why don't you come on? I can't see where I'm going.
36:03Anyway.
36:04It's going to be kind of my Yellowstone cabin.
36:08Now I've got it looking the business.
36:10What's that like, Colsey?
36:11Yeah, that spot on.
36:12It's the perfect spot to kick back with the oldest muckers I know.
36:16Tell you what, I'm not being funny.
36:18Wobby's done a bloody good job.
36:20He has, to be fair.
36:21And take stock of the last few months.
36:25Here we are.
36:26Yeah.
36:27Another day, another dollar.
36:29Patty's moved out of Watford.
36:30He's down here now, living up the road.
36:32Five months ago, I was living in Southend.
36:35Never had a pot to piss in.
36:36Now, I'm living down here.
36:38My fucking tooth fell out.
36:39I've got enough money to buy a new tooth, and I'm driving about the BMW.
36:43All because of this man.
36:44What I've found to behoving with the difference between maybe us, the normal fellas, is that
36:49when you get a chance, you grab it with both hands.
36:51He does, yeah.
36:52Yeah.
36:52I wrap myself around it.
36:53Around it, yeah.
36:54When would you ever think, as a kid, you'd become an actor?
36:56He's been fucking acting all his life.
36:58Yeah, no, but when I was...
37:00All the fucking glasses have fell off.
37:01When I was nine or ten years old, we were at Butlins as kids, like, and I was fucking...
37:07I was up there, weren't I, on the old stage, giving it all the old bollocks.
37:10Did you ever see him dance?
37:12You can't dance.
37:12Fucking shocking, mate.
37:14I was the bollocks.
37:15Vin, when we used to...
37:16At Rolls-Royce, I was the bollocks, Coles.
37:18No, you weren't.
37:19That's what I thought.
37:20I used to take the floor at Rolls-Royce every Friday night.
37:23The thing is, no one would be on the dance floor.
37:25Up he goes, fucking Peter Gordino, giving it the fucking...
37:28I used to do the old shuffle, didn't I?
37:29He was terrible, Vin.
37:31Was I?
37:33Looking at things in your life, would you ever think that you'd be the fellow that people
37:37would look up to for mental health and things like that?
37:39I ain't just started doing it.
37:41I've been doing it all my life.
37:42You know that.
37:42He's like an ambassador for mental health.
37:44Yeah, I love that side of it.
37:45Do you know what I mean?
37:45It's nice.
37:45I've taken it on.
37:46I think I'm in a position to be able to talk about it.
37:49Yeah, you are.
37:49You know, I've lost my wife and your mum.
37:52All I can express to people is how I've dealt with it and what it's done to me.
37:57Yeah.
37:58And if that helps any of them,
38:01then so be it.
38:02But I do believe when I keep swinging and all that,
38:05what I'm trying to say is keep yourself occupied, keep yourself busy.
38:11Do you think of anything further than the next day?
38:14Or do you just take one day at a time?
38:16Put it this way.
38:17I know what I'm doing tomorrow and I start having panic attacks when I've got nothing planned.
38:23For me, I'm still filling up tomorrow to be able to sleep tonight.
38:30But I mean, we've all come a long way this year.
38:33We've all repaired, myself included.
38:36I feel that I've come on a long way in the last year.
38:40But like to think that we're sitting here like this, you know what I mean?
38:43Like that three old men like you, bud.
38:45Tell me getting old.
38:46You've got a new set of teeth.
38:47My teeth are falling out and Vin's gone bald.
38:51Apart from that, we're all right.
38:53Yeah.
39:13That's how wobbly.
39:14There you are.
39:16All right, Wobbs.
39:17I'll be looking as well.
39:19Fucking done, aren't I?
39:20Finished?
39:21I'm done.
39:22You'll like it.
39:22Nice of you.
39:23Well done, mate.
39:23Well done.
39:24No, good.
39:24Yeah, so, yeah, I'm there.
39:26Finished.
39:27Looks like I worked you hard this year, son.
39:29Well, yeah, it's been that.
39:31But yeah, no, it's been great.
39:32It's been great.
39:36It's been an emotional journey, son.
39:38And on that note, yeah, I'd like to say thank you to you, mate, really, to be honest with you.
39:44That's been good.
39:45I've got to say it for you.
39:47Not the last bill, is it?
39:48No, I'll tell you what it is.
39:49I'll give you that with pleasure.
39:51I won't get upset giving you that.
39:53What do you get a man who's got everything?
39:55When you can go and buy a Bentley on a whim, or you can go and buy two farms down
40:00the road,
40:00because you can.
40:01I guess life has got a different meaning.
40:04So I think when someone gives him the little trinkets, the little, I suppose, stuff from
40:09the heart, it probably means something a little bit more than just going to buy something,
40:15because you can.
40:17So I've been with you now four or four odd years now, and I didn't know what the heck
40:21to buy you.
40:22But I don't know if you remember, we went down to the lake house, and me and you had a
40:26little
40:27walkabout, and we were talking about legacies.
40:30You'd just lost your mum.
40:32I'd lost me dad.
40:34What was left behind?
40:35Right?
40:36You know what I mean?
40:36People just leave stuff behind, don't they?
40:38And you picked the stick up.
40:41Well, I picked it up.
40:42I don't know if you remember, but we called this the Celeste stick, and I took it to our
40:48mate Simon.
40:48Oh, mate.
40:50I thought, get you one with a little trout on it, right?
40:54Hopefully this will remind you, A, of me, and B, of your lake house.
41:00Yeah, and that is the actual stick.
41:02It's come back to life.
41:04Thanks, mate.
41:05The stick's beautiful, you know.
41:07It's another one from my collection.
41:10It's a fish.
41:11It's the first fish I've had.
41:12Brown trout.
41:13Yeah, it's lovely.
41:14It's got Celeste in it.
41:17It's got her DNA.
41:18You know, she is a big part of this, and she always will be.
41:22And the good thing is, because it's a two-piece one, you can put it in your suitcase.
41:25Take it to America.
41:26Take it to America, and it'll always remind you of the lake house.
41:29You like it?
41:30Yeah, it's fine.
41:30And I thought the trout, you ain't got one with a trout, have you?
41:32Yeah, I ain't got a fish one.
41:33Well, you've helped me through some tough times, mate, and I mean that.
41:36But we've helped each other as well.
41:37I really do, yeah.
41:38We've helped each other.
41:39When we first met, I was in a dark place, and so was you.
41:43But as you say, you kept me swinging, mate.
41:45You kept me punching.
41:46And I'm in a lot better place now, thanks to you.
41:48I feel like I've kind of...
41:51I'm getting better.
41:53Yeah.
41:53You know what I mean?
41:53My journey's starting to...
41:55You know, you're doing this and feeling great in yourself and everything.
41:58So, thanks for this, mate.
42:00I'll treasure it and our memories.
42:03I'll tell you what, that's from my heart, mate.
42:05I mean that.
42:05Thank you, mate.
42:06It really does.
42:06I don't know what I could get you.
42:07I really don't.
42:08All right?
42:08Cheers, mate.
42:09All the back for the future.
42:10And I hope this lake house and manor house...
42:13You appreciate...
42:15I thank you for all the work, but I can't get...
42:17It's too much for me now, mate, all that.
42:18Your train's a little bit too quick for me now.
42:20It's not a train, it's a rocket, Wobbs.
42:21Exactly.
42:22But hopefully, you'll have something for me next summer.
42:25Yep.
42:25You know where I am.
42:26Give me a ring.
42:26Give me a ring.
42:27Yeah?
42:27Give me a ring, mate.
42:28But thank you.
42:29Beautiful.
42:29Well done, mate.
42:30All right.
42:31Cheers, Wobbs.
42:33Thank you, mate.
42:34See you later.
42:35See you, Wobbs.
42:35Take care.
42:36He bought me a knife.
42:38And every time you look at it, it reminds me of Vincent.
42:41Sometimes I want to throw it out the fucking window.
42:43But in general, I think of that moment that he gave it to me,
42:46and I think of the...
42:48It sounds crass and silly,
42:50but it's, I think, hopefully the love that he was given.
42:53It was a lovely gift.
42:55It meant a lot to me.
42:56So hopefully, this stick will do the same for him.
42:59Thanks, Wobb.
43:00I've ticked the Wobbly box this year
43:01because I think Wobbly's in a much, much better place,
43:05and it's been a good season for repair.
43:10Finn.
43:11By the way, I ain't paid Simon for it,
43:13so you might want to go and see him.
43:14All right?
43:17You bastard.
43:20See you, Wobbs.
43:21See you.
43:24Friendship.
43:24Can't buy it.
43:35Now the manor house is done,
43:37I can finally say my plans come together.
43:41That's a bit of vision, wasn't it, hon?
43:42Look at that.
43:43Yeah.
43:44I mean, that is stunning.
43:46And that's what it deserved.
43:47That's our legacy there, hon.
43:49Yeah.
43:49That'll be good for another 50 years, that.
43:51And, lo and behold, four or five months,
43:54you've just restored this whole area.
43:56I can't believe how quick...
43:56Not only the house, but this whole area,
43:58the barn, everything.
44:01Blondie's spot on.
44:02From the beach to the log cabins,
44:04all the lads have stepped up this summer.
44:10Whilst here at the manor,
44:11the grounds are landscaped to perfection,
44:14with an entrance and a helipad that means business.
44:18No stone unturned, really, have you?
44:20Sometimes it, like, the emotion,
44:22it, like, makes you want to cry,
44:24that you've actually achieved that.
44:25Look at that.
44:26What a joint effort.
44:27Look at that.
44:28I always looked up at me dad.
44:30He had his own, albeit a small building company.
44:33I was always going to be my own boss.
44:35Did I think I was going to be a professional footballer?
44:38Did I think I was going to be an actor?
44:39No, but I'd have ended up with
44:41either my own building firm or something.
44:43Saying that I have.
44:45I have.
44:45All I do is build farms.
44:49And I'm getting quite good at them.
44:52Here you go, hon.
44:54Woo!
44:56Oh, wow.
44:58The manor house has come up shining.
45:02With every mortal detail just how I imagined,
45:05plus a party barn that's fit for purpose.
45:12Great, I like the colour scheme.
45:14Beautiful, hon.
45:15You've done such a great job.
45:16You should have been an interior designer.
45:20Oh, my God.
45:21When the manor house came up, really, it was too good an opportunity to let go.
45:25It borders the farmhouse and the lake house, so it joins up.
45:29I can walk around it all now for the rest of my life.
45:32When the boys come in or people come over, they can stay there as well.
45:36And the views are out of this world.
45:37They're some of the best views in West Sussex.
45:39This is a beautiful little small holding anywhere, but that just sets it off.
45:44Well, it's the peacefulness up here.
45:46Yeah, but that view is just insane.
45:47That's what I mean.
45:48It's the tranquility here, isn't it?
45:50What I couldn't understand is, from down there, you look up and it's magnificent.
45:55Why you would paint your house grey, that's what I couldn't get over.
45:59You know, it's the White House.
46:00It's up on the hill.
46:00The White Works, actually.
46:02I was concerned.
46:03I know you was all concerned, but I don't know why.
46:05I know you want to be in charge of everything, but it is a collaboration.
46:09Sometimes the collaborations do work.
46:11Me and the mirror, hon.
46:12I have a board meeting with me and the mirror and away I go.
46:16Yes, I know, but can I be more involved in the lake house?
46:19Because that is the one that we've been waiting for.
46:21Let's go then.
46:22Let's go and have a look at what you want to get involved with.
46:24Okay.
46:27Success for me is to complete something that you set out to do.
46:30And then you get after the next thing.
46:37It's no good sitting there, winning the FA Cup final and saying, that's that.
46:43Now, what I do, I go, yeah, I've enjoyed that.
46:46Then I'm looking at, now what am I going to do?
46:48What's the next one?
46:49Let's go, baby.
46:51Like I have to ask, after a summer of hard graft, it doesn't end with the manor.
46:58Now my vision for this little corner of West Sussex is well and truly locked in.
47:03The only thing to do now, get the diggers out, down the hill, straight to the lake house.
47:08We're going to get started.
47:11Coming in.
47:18Cuphead.
47:20Let's get this started.
47:28Let's go, boys.
47:29Let's do it.
47:31Two and a half years.
47:38Let's go, Glenn.
47:39Let's go.
47:40Let's get in the shit and muck and go again.
47:42And I'll tell you when it stops.
47:45When it stops.
47:47Look at me, baby.
47:52Can I go now?
48:21Well, let's go.
48:22Let's go.
48:22Let's go.
48:23Let's go.
