00:29I'll see you next time
00:47I'll see you next time
01:28I'll see you next time
01:56I love you, Nan
01:57I'll see you next time
02:32You've been sat there all night?
02:35That looks like it
02:38What's your excuse?
02:40I must have fallen asleep waiting for news on Nigel
02:42Oh, God
02:50Who?
03:06Come on, Lauren, what's up with you?
03:08You?
03:09You are what's up with me?
03:10I can't even go to my own kitchen without walking in on YouTube playing tonsil tennis
03:14Oh, come on, there's no need for that
03:15We're all adults here, Lauren
03:17Yeah, well, my kids are
03:18So I'd much appreciate you not turning their home into some sort of OAP hook-up club
03:23And you know what?
03:24Put some clothes on and all
03:25You can't talk to me like that
03:27I am your mother-in-law
03:28My mother-in-law?
03:31And my dad
03:32Come on
03:33Come on
03:35Come on
03:57So what happens now?
04:01I ran Corkers and they're going to take care of things.
04:08They say what time they be here?
04:10Oh, I didn't ask. It doesn't matter, we don't need to wait.
04:17Are you sure you want to leave it?
04:18I'm not leaving him. He's gone.
04:23That's just his body in there, it's not Nigel.
04:29That's just me, you know, if you feel different then we can wait.
04:34No. We can go.
05:06You heard about Nigel?
05:08Yeah. Phil told me.
05:11I still can't believe he's gone.
05:13That sweet man saw the rest in peace. I'm just so relieved that Phil got there in time.
05:18That was his figures fees, wasn't it?
05:21I mean, sorry, I know that Hugh's his best mate as well, ain't he?
05:24Yeah, long time ago. I haven't been much for mate to him these past few years.
05:31We've got to do something then, haven't we? Celebrate Nigel's life.
05:35Now give Phil and Julie a little pick-me-up when they get back.
05:38We could show everyone his film. That'll make people happy.
05:42That's a lovely idea. We'll set it all up in the Vic, yeah? Everyone's welcome.
05:51I didn't know that you and Nigel were best mates. Since we were teenagers.
05:57So why was Phil at the care home of him last night and not you then?
06:03Yeah. Yeah, that figures.
06:11I tried to get her upstairs, but she said her legs have gone. So what am I meant to do,
06:15eh?
06:16Carry her on my back like a Sherpa.
06:19We're sure she's still alive, right?
06:21Yeah, hold on.
06:25Nan. Nan, wake up.
06:27Oi, get up!
06:29I'm awake, I'm awake.
06:30Whoa, whoa, cat. Come on, let's just take it down.
06:32Oh, shut up. What are you pair like?
06:35What's the time?
06:36The time you hold yourself in that shower and get ready to do it all again.
06:40What, are you trying to finish me off?
06:42Yeah, she's got a point. My liver probably looks like a half-eating pizza.
06:45That'll be the sherry. You drank sherry?
06:48Oh, we drunk everything.
06:50Which is why I think we should just shut up shop today and all go back to bed.
06:55No, that's not going to happen, all right?
06:56We've got a wake to organise.
06:59Nigel passed away last night.
07:00Yeah, poor fella.
07:02I imagine Phil's devastated.
07:04What about Julie?
07:05I know she's northern, but I expect she's got feelings too.
07:09They're all going to be sad, but we're not. Not in here. We're going to be all smiles,
07:13because that's what Nigel would have wanted, all right?
07:16Yeah.
07:16That's what they all need.
07:17Let's go.
07:17Come on, let's go.
07:20Phil.
07:22I'm sorry for your loss, Phil.
07:23No, it's not my loss, is it? It's Julie's.
07:27You okay?
07:29Yeah.
07:31You?
07:34Listen, thanks. Thanks for what you did, you know, for getting me now and time.
07:39Yeah.
07:40I'm just glad you had your chance to say goodbye, Phil.
07:45Grandad!
07:48Sorry, Grandad. It's not so sad.
07:51You okay, Phil?
07:53Yeah, I'm fine.
07:54Come here.
07:54No, no, no. Save you. Save you for Julie.
07:59It was very, um, peaceful at the end. Just me and Phil.
08:05Well, I hope the Lord grant us all a peaceful death like that.
08:09What a blessing.
08:10Yeah.
08:11Yeah.
08:12I'm, uh, I'm going to head back to the house.
08:17Phil.
08:18Hold on a second, mate.
08:20It's just that me and Kat talking and, you know, and it's up to you guys,
08:23but if you want to come in, we can all raise a glass in Nigel's honour or not.
08:30Hermes, it's up to you.
08:31Yeah, no, that's exactly what we all need.
08:33Yeah.
08:33I think it would be lovely to have a farewell drink in his favourite boozer and Nigel would have loved
08:39that.
08:39Yeah, yeah. Come on. Let's go.
09:04I can't believe you've got all this done so quickly.
09:07It was all hands on deck.
09:11He didn't really have to go to so much trouble.
09:13Hey, Julie, it was no trouble, OK? Anything for Nigel.
09:17Yeah.
09:17Yeah, we thought we'd play his Christmas film, keep his spirit alive.
09:22He'd love that. He'd have loved that.
09:28Erm, so, erm, er, when I first, erm, found out that, erm, Nigel had come back here to Walford, erm,
09:46yeah, I was shocked.
09:49And, to be honest with you, I couldn't, I just couldn't really understand it.
09:56I mean, I, I knew all about his roots being here, of course, I mean, this is where we met,
10:01but, erm,
10:04I just didn't really fully understand how, how deep those roots were.
10:14I do now.
10:17In this place.
10:19Erm, all of you.
10:21And, erm...
10:23Yeah, this was his home.
10:28It was in his bones.
10:30It didn't matter how long he'd been away for.
10:35So, erm, I really want to thank you all from the bottom of my heart for, erm, welcoming him back
10:42home and for, erm...
10:48And for holding him so tight.
10:51And for, erm, giving him this wonderful last act.
11:07And, erm...
11:09Phil.
11:12I really want to say thank you for, erm, for everything that you've done for him. Thank you, sir.
11:18Do you think we should all have a toast tonight, yeah?
11:23Here you are, the man. Let's get some glasses in our hands, shall we?
11:25Yeah, yeah. Drinks on the house.
11:29Yeah, thank you.
11:31I didn't expect her to see you in here.
11:34Yeah, just trying to stay clear of certain people.
11:37Yeah, but not me, right?
11:39Did you hear about Nige?
11:41Yeah. It's really sad, isn't it?
11:43Can I go to the Vic? They're all in there.
11:47Depends.
11:48Cindy and Dad nip to town if that's what you're worried about.
11:51So you heard about them two then?
11:54Alright, yeah, I might go with them. Just when I've finished all this.
11:58Talking of Dad...
12:00I think he was really upset after he left.
12:03Good.
12:04Did you?
12:04It kind of looked to me like he'd been crying.
12:08I think he really wants to apologise for whatever may or may not have happened with or without Cindy.
12:18He slept with Cindy in the room next to my son.
12:22We don't actually know they were doing that.
12:24It could be...
12:26History would suggest that neither of them know how to do anything else.
12:30Why are you defending them anyway?
12:35Oh.
12:38Dad's asked you to find me and talk me around, hasn't he?
12:41No.
12:44Yes.
12:45Why would you choose his side over mine?
12:47I'm on everyone's side, Lauren. Basically, I'm all about family.
12:51He paid you, didn't he?
12:53Money may have passed between certain hands grinding, but I would have done this for the sake of family unity
12:59in any case, Lauren.
13:00And whatever he might have done, did do, maybe you should remember he saved Jimmy's life last week.
13:08No, not even doing it.
13:10What? I'm not doing it.
13:11Sorry.
13:11Are you today?
13:12That's a yes.
13:25No!
13:30No!
13:30No!
13:31No!
13:34No!
13:35No!
13:45No!
14:06No!
14:06What with that?
14:07Oh, you've got that...
14:16Came to see how you were doing.
14:19Oh, what you got there?
14:22Stone.
14:23Nice.
14:24What, where do you get it?
14:27You're going to keep talking to me like my five-year-old.
14:31I think we know each other better than that, don't we?
14:33Everyone's just worried about you, that's all.
14:35Why?
14:37She's the one who's lost her husband, isn't she?
14:41Yeah, but...
14:42You know.
14:45Yeah, yeah, yeah, I do.
14:49Everyone thinks that now Nigel's gone,
14:50I'm going to go into a depression and do something stupid
14:54Hiddleston there, watching me like I'm in Anna Wiener's zoo or something.
14:58You push people away before a film.
15:01Don't hit the same stake twice.
15:09You have.
15:11Things have changed.
15:14You are the best mate the man could ever ask for.
15:18But now, I need to let me go.
15:24You're not coming over to the Vic for Nigel's zoo?
15:26I don't think that I'd want to inflict myself on anyone right now.
15:30Do you mind if I sit?
15:42You know in the States,
15:43we eat donuts for breakfast.
15:45That's probably why I got such a sweet tooth.
15:47How fascinating.
15:48You know, I'm really not in the mood for a small talk.
15:54Say no more.
15:55Neither am I.
15:57I'll happily just sit here in silence and eat my donut.
16:05It's just my dad.
16:08As soon as I think that he's like background noise,
16:11he comes roaring back into my life again.
16:13Just doing what he always does.
16:15He just causes chaos.
16:17He turns us all against each other.
16:19All together just makes a massive mess.
16:21Well, at least he ain't boring.
16:22He's infuriating.
16:23That's what he is.
16:25You still love him, don't you?
16:27You still love him, don't you?
16:28Of course I do.
16:29He's my dad.
16:30You make it sound like it's guaranteed, right?
16:32Just trust me, it ain't.
16:34My dad,
16:36Grant,
16:38I don't know him.
16:39And I don't want to know him.
16:41Your old man sounds a bit like a muppet.
16:45But at least he's putting the hours in.
16:47And that ain't nothing.
16:51Right.
16:52All this small talk is making me thirsty.
16:55So I'm going to get another drink.
16:57If you do want to inflict yourself on someone,
17:00I'll be at the vick.
17:16Sugar.
17:37You're so nice to me.
17:40I'm going to miss him a lot.
17:42Yeah.
17:43Me too.
17:46What do you mean I'm too skinny and handsome to play Santa Claus?
17:51Outrageous.
17:53I forgot about this bit.
17:55Ladra was just messing about.
17:56I'm sorry.
17:57I'd love me Sally play it, please.
17:59I want to see him.
18:00I'd love to see him.
18:08So do you want this part or not?
18:11Not really, no.
18:12Come on.
18:13How are you?
18:15Give us a ho-ho.
18:17Ho, ho, ho.
18:20With a bit more feeling.
18:24Ho, ho, ho.
18:26Merry Christmas.
18:30I'm going to tell you what I want for Christmas.
18:32Get off me your big luck with it.
18:34Have I been a good boy?
18:36Yeah, you've been a good boy.
18:37Get off me.
18:39You weigh a ton.
18:40Why is Santa Claus good at fighting?
18:42I don't know.
18:43Why is Santa Claus good at fighting?
18:44Because he's got a black belt.
18:48Put this Santa's stay on holiday.
18:50Where are the Santa's stay?
18:52Where are the ho-ho-hotel?
18:54I don't know.
19:00Oi, Phil.
19:01Phil.
19:03Hold up.
19:04Where are you going?
19:06Where does it look like I'm playing?
19:07I'm just going home as well.
19:10What, you don't want to be on your own?
19:12I'm not on a day like this.
19:13This is exactly where I want to be.
19:15I want to be a million miles away from that life.
19:17Well, away from the people who love you,
19:19people who care about you.
19:20So I don't need a lecture on family relations from you, all right?
19:26You speak to him hard, like we said.
19:29I'm trying.
19:30But he's...
19:31He ain't having it.
19:33There's a Michael coming out of my knees.
19:36I'm not being funny, all right?
19:37I just want to...
19:41I just want some time on me home, that's all.
19:43I don't think I'm happy.
20:43He says he wants to be on his own for a bit. I think that's all right, don't you?
20:47Look, we've just lost our best mate. If he wants to be on his own, I don't see the problem.
20:53Would you know? I mean, he was only there for the aftermath I was done.
20:58You know what? I'm sick to my back teeth of people treating me like I'm some lazy no-show that
21:05doesn't care about anyone. I care, all right? I care!
21:08We know you care. We know you care. It's just that we were there last time, all right? We saw
21:13the way he was.
21:14How he pushed people away and turned in on himself. We just want to make sure that don't happen again.
21:38How you doing?
21:50How you doing?
21:52How you doing?
22:02How you doing?
22:28Come on, Cindy, we talked about this.
22:31Forget about them. We've got every right to be together.
22:33I just don't want any awkwardness.
22:36Can't we go to yours?
22:38No, if we're serious about each other, we need to hold our ground, OK?
22:43So trust me, she'll come round.
22:50Didn't anyone ever tell you that snogging on the street's a little bit skanky?
22:55You'd better get yourselves inside before the neighbours start complaining.
23:06Why'd they change her heart?
23:08It's not because of Oscar, if that's what you're thinking.
23:12Just no more hanky-panky in my house, all right?
23:15I'll try, Lauren.
23:17It's not easy, though, when you're this irresistible.
23:37What's Dad doing?
23:39Huh?
23:40Oh, I don't know, Dad.
23:43Daddy's friend died last night, so he's, like, probably a bit upset.
23:47What's he doing? He's losing it.
23:50Phil?
23:52Bruh, put the lighter down.
23:53Don't do nothing stupid, Phil.
23:55We're all here to help you.
23:56Help.
23:58Help.
23:58Why would I need your help?
24:05Because she just set fire to an armchair in the middle of the square?
24:08Yeah, well, it would be a bit stupid to do it inside, wouldn't it?
24:10Eh?
24:12Now, who fancies a cup of tea?
24:14Why burn it?
24:16Because that...
24:18That is exactly what Nigel would want me to do.
24:24Raymond, son, come here.
24:27Come on, I've got some chocolate cake inside.
24:29Right, come on.
24:29Come on.
24:31What were you waiting for, eh?
24:33Come on.
24:35Come on in the morning, Mary.
24:36Come on.
24:42Um, is he okay?
24:46Oh, he's just set fire to a chair in the middle of the square, so...
24:50Edgy bets.
24:51No.
24:52No, you're wrong.
24:55He's going to be absolutely fine.
25:03I think we did old Nigel proud.
25:08What do you reckon?
25:09Yeah.
25:10I reckon we all deserve a drink.
25:12Do you hear that, Nan?
25:13She's definitely a slater.
25:14Ha, ha, ha.
25:15You all right?
25:17Yeah.
25:19I'm just thinking about Julie.
25:22I've been a widow for 47 years this summer.
25:26Your great-great-grandad, Jimmy, died of cancer.
25:29I had a great-great-grandad.
25:31Everyone's got a great-great-grandad.
25:33Yeah, but, like, people don't know their names.
25:35Like, they're an actual, real person.
25:38Yeah, you're right.
25:40Great-great-grandads are usually dead and forgotten.
25:43And I'll be dead and forgotten soon enough.
25:46Stop being so miserable.
25:48Plenty of life in you yet.
25:49You don't know that.
25:50Nigel was years younger than me.
25:53And when I pop my clocks, you'll forget about me, just like Jimmy.
25:57No-one's going to forget about you.
25:59I'm going to get you stuffed and stick you at the end of the bar.
26:02Ha, ha, ha, ha.
26:03Who's getting stuffed, then?
26:05Nan.
26:05Ollie.
26:06Who's the lucky fella?
26:08Ha, ha, ha.
26:08Cheeky-blender.
26:10Oh, don't worry, Nan.
26:12I'll make sure no-one stuffs you.
26:14Thank you, darling.
26:15You know you're my favourite, don't you?
26:17And I'm glad you're home.
26:25Here, did anybody ever see Nigel dance?
26:28Oh, I did.
26:28Once.
26:29He had some words.
26:31Really?
26:31Listen, he took me to Moonwalk to Billie Jean when I was a kid.
26:34Yeah, yeah, you should have seen him circa 1979 in the clubs.
26:39Pogo-ing like a nutter.
26:41What do you mean?
26:42Yes, I think we'd all like to see what you mean.
26:45Oh, well, I couldn't possibly, not without the right music.
26:48Of course, sure we could find some for you, Grant.
26:50What would you prefer, Sex Pistols or the Clash?
26:53Well, you can stop stirring the pot, because if I'm getting up, Billy, so are you.
26:57Ha, ha, ha, ha.
27:02Yeah, you nicked my ID to go and see the jam in ice, didn't you?
27:06He told you that?
27:07Yeah, he told me loads.
27:09He told me everything.
27:12Come on.
27:13Come on, Grant.
27:14It's dance like Nigel.
27:16Come on, dance like Nigel.
27:18Dance like Nigel.
27:20Dance like Nigel.
27:21Dance like Nigel.
27:23Dance like Nigel.
27:49Thanks.
27:52Thanks, mate.
27:54Thanks.
28:24It's nowhere sad
28:29In a city there's a thousand men in the universe
28:34And I thought they'd never have the right time to kill the man
28:40We wanna say
28:43We gonna tell ya
28:44About a young idea
28:47And if a down walker is still trying
28:54It's a city
28:56It's a city
