00:00I don't know
00:46I'm going to bring some mates to the party tonight.
00:47I'll give it a rest, sweetheart.
00:49I'm up to here with this party.
00:51You're right.
00:52If you hadn't been on the fiddle, you wouldn't have to throw it.
00:57What about your breakfast?
00:58I'm going to have a shave.
00:59I'll eat later.
01:00Well, you can make it yourself, then.
01:02He's in a right mood.
01:03Ignore him.
01:05What can I have someone for tonight, then?
01:06You have a dead ball in the hall.
01:08You're best not.
01:09Dad's trying to make an impression on the area manager.
01:12Some of your mates can get a bit daft when they've had a few drinks.
01:15Thanks.
01:16What are you wearing tonight, huh?
01:19Tell you what.
01:20Why don't I pick you up for this ball, eh?
01:21And we'll go and buy someone.
01:22Dad won't like it.
01:24Here, Lofty.
01:26Mendez of course.
01:27You've got to be joking.
01:28Oh, go on.
01:29I'm skint.
01:30Look, you're skint.
01:31I'm skint.
01:31It's a way of life, isn't it?
01:41Shouldn't you be at school?
01:42I've got two free periods.
01:43Yeah.
01:44Bunking all you, you mean.
01:45No, straight up.
01:46I've got to do an essay.
01:47A day in the life of my area.
01:49An essay?
01:49You?
01:51Takes you half an hour to watch your name at the top of the page.
01:55Lend us a quid.
01:57I'll pay you back, Friday.
01:59I'll tell you what.
02:00I could do a round on the stove.
02:01You all can't give an angel name.
02:03How much for the morning?
02:04A quid, you see?
02:05Oh, not for a morning's work.
02:06That's slave labour.
02:08Take it or leave it?
02:26Working on the place.
02:28I own it.
02:30Oh.
02:31Taking on a big job.
02:35I can handle it.
02:42I'll make an enquiries into the death of Reg Cox.
02:53Been round here long, have you?
02:55Most of my life.
03:03Where were you on the afternoon Reg Cox was attacked?
03:06Staying out in Lutero.
03:08Like I said, I was doing a conversion job on a pub there.
03:13Bassett Street, Crown and Sector.
03:22Where can I contact you if I need you?
03:27Here.
03:29Living the rough, eh?
03:36Get that junk shifty.
03:39It's an eyesore.
03:41Yes, officer.
03:54Look, it's no trouble.
03:55I've got that lot to do.
03:56I'm quite capable of doing my own washing up, thank you.
04:01Watch your calf's seat well, will you?
04:05Playing happy families, are we?
04:07A bit early for you, innit?
04:08Oh, I'm doing lunchtime at the pub.
04:09I thought I'd just look in.
04:10Look, it's daft to run another bowl just for those few bits.
04:14I'm not having anyone say I can't look after meself.
04:17Everyone knows this house couldn't run without you, Mum.
04:19Everyone takes me for granted, you mean.
04:24They seem to have forgotten it's my house.
04:27We'll be up through the night, knee-deep in nappies.
04:34I've come to a decision.
04:36From now on, I'm going to shop for meself, cook for meself and eat me own room.
04:39And I'll be grateful if you and the rest of your large family respect my privacy.
04:46So what about this punch-up, then?
04:48It wasn't a punch-up, just a lively disagreement.
04:52The lady says you picked a fight for the raspberry.
04:54That's right.
04:55Well, ask anyone who was there.
04:56Just larking about, that's all.
04:58Ali's been off work because of it.
05:00Look, if there'd been anything serious, the governor would have called you lot in, wouldn't he?
05:04Yeah.
05:06Anyway, it's got nothing to do with the old geezer.
05:08He was in intensive care by then.
05:10Yeah, besides, you know where we both were when he was done, so what's the odds?
05:13Oh, yeah, that's right.
05:14You told my colleague, didn't you?
05:16Where were you?
05:17Beckley Road Snooker Club.
05:22At me Mum's place.
05:26You can go.
05:28I know where to contact you if I need you.
05:31Cheers.
05:35End you.
05:42You can't hang around here unless you buy something.
05:44This is a cath, not a waiting room.
05:46Oh, it's better I could scroll down.
05:48I'll keep that engine oil you pass off as tea.
05:50Is that meant to be funny?
05:51That's what I ask whenever I drink it.
05:55All right, Tom?
05:57Tom?
05:58Two teas, please.
05:59What, something might interest you?
06:00Oh, yeah?
06:02Yeah, yeah, we bolt it off Ali's brother.
06:04One of his mates made 120 quid out of it.
06:08It's this golden circle thing, see?
06:10You buy the letter for a tenner, and then you send a tenner to the name at the top of
06:15the list.
06:15And you're 20 quid out of pocket.
06:17Oh, you can't lose.
06:19Because the next thing you do, see, is you put your name at the bottom of the list and cross
06:23out the one at the top, right?
06:25Oh, yeah.
06:26So the next thing is, you make two copies of the letter and sell them for a tenner each.
06:31So now you're broken even, right?
06:33Then, when your name gets to the top of the list, everything you're sent is clear profit, get it?
06:38Well, what if the other people don't send the money off?
06:40There's a lot of dishonest punters around here, you know?
06:42Well, they've got to.
06:43You get them to put it in an envelope when you sell them the letter.
06:46There's people around here making a fortune out of it.
06:49I wish I was.
06:50See ya.
06:51Cheers, love.
06:51Look, I'm a bit short of Reddy's at the moment, but I might buy one of them.
06:56Sounds like a big con to me, Tom.
06:58No, I won't take too long making your minds up about it.
07:01I don't think we'll have too much difficulty getting rid of them.
07:06Right, Sue?
07:07Oh, pour moi.
07:08Hey, leave it at.
07:09Is it your birthday, or have you had a row?
07:12I'm not back.
07:16Who's garden-genic'd them out of?
07:18I bought them.
07:20I'm out of my winnings.
07:20Well, you'd better stick them in some water, then, haven't you?
07:25Look, Sue...
07:25Save it.
07:26I've heard it all before.
07:28I really was gambling.
07:30I believe you.
07:31Thousands wouldn't.
07:32That still doesn't make it right.
07:34I mean, what's the sign say outside this place?
07:36Eh?
07:37Owl's Caff.
07:38Well, I reckon that's time you started doing a bit of grafting around here.
07:42It's always leaving it to me.
07:43And you can start right now, cos I've got some shopping to do.
08:12I'll see you.
08:16She's been doing your washing and ironing.
08:19Yeah, well, you know what she's like, always offering to help out and that.
08:22Look, you've got plenty of spare time on your hands.
08:24You might spend some of it doing your own washing and ironing.
08:27She is a pensioner, you know.
08:28Yeah, but, I mean, it was her that offered.
08:30I'm sure.
08:30She's got a heart of gold.
08:32But she shouldn't take on too much.
08:34And we shouldn't take advantage of her.
08:36Right.
08:37And sort out your gyro.
08:39Yeah.
08:55We're in England now, sunshine.
08:58I've always been in England.
08:59This stuff might be right up a pun, Jeb.
09:02But round here, you've got to give the punters what they want.
09:11Even a decent bit of stuff you've got's overpriced.
09:14What stuff?
09:22You can get these jars of coffee down to cash and carry.
09:2430 pence cheaper.
09:26Small profit, quick turnover.
09:29That's what you need.
09:30What's the special offers?
09:31Get the punters in for the special offers and they'll buy something else.
09:35Mark these coffees down 30p, make a display out of them,
09:38and I bet you shift the lot in half the time.
09:40All right?
09:41I'll give it a try.
09:45You never learn if you go and take advice.
09:48And I'll take one.
09:51Expect this lot to be gone by the time we get back tonight.
09:53You'll see.
10:03Line.
10:04You're keen today.
10:05Business, not the pleasure, I'm afraid.
10:09Still, I might as well have one while I'm here.
10:12A pot of cooking, Cathy.
10:13I'd have to be special, Taron.
10:15There's a strike on.
10:16Okay.
10:17I spoke to Mr. Chumley about the conversion.
10:19What?
10:20The area manager.
10:22Trouble is, if I get the go-ahead, they'll be pushing me to use the outfit the brewery deals with.
10:25I've told him you do a good job, don't you?
10:27Hey, thanks.
10:29I was just wondering if you could pay me for the window.
10:32I've put him...
10:33Look at this bloke.
10:35Here I am, sticking my neck out for the biggest conversion job he's ever likely to get,
10:38and he's pestering me for a few quid for a stupid window.
10:41There you are, Tom.
10:43Well, I could wait a week or two, I suppose.
10:48There was a favour I wanted to ask you as well.
10:52More favours?
10:53Nick.
10:55He's helping me out.
10:56He's going to make things a bit awkward with him being bad in here.
11:00No.
11:01If I start getting soft, it'll be a green light to all the tearaways.
11:04Oh, come on, Dan.
11:07Okay, then.
11:08He can come in.
11:09But only when he's with you, mind.
11:10First sign of trouble and he's out.
11:12Fair enough.
11:13Right.
11:14As soon as I've done you a favour, I reckon you'll do the same.
11:17Eh?
11:18Well, forget about that window.
11:19Well, no doubt you'll find some way to lump it in on the price when you get to do the
11:22conversion.
11:24Why is it when you do me a favour, it always costs me money, eh?
11:29Can he come in then?
11:30Eh?
11:31Nick.
11:32Well, it looks like he is in.
11:38I've got a special one for the old cars here.
11:41You're only on probation.
11:43First whiff of trouble and I'll squash you.
11:45I'll be good as gold, Dan.
11:46Blood got on my shirt night at the punch-up.
11:49Fussy about my shirt time.
11:51See you later.
11:53Cheers.
12:01Are you sure that's right?
12:02Yeah, of course it is.
12:03I think it should be $1.22.
12:05Yeah, I think the lad's having a bit of trouble with his math stock.
12:08Look, sorry about that.
12:11Must be the new math.
12:13That's my new, Pete.
12:18Now, listen, the second rule of the market stall is you don't shortchange your regulars, right?
12:22Okay, a punter you've never seen before is fair game.
12:25But remember, a regular's your bread and butter, right?
12:27It was like you said, Uncle Pete, just me maths.
12:30What's the first rule, anyway?
12:32Anything you do, fiddle, belongs to the governor.
12:36Why isn't he at school?
12:37I want a free period, being honest, doing community studies.
12:41Well, you'd better be back there this afternoon or there'd be trouble.
12:44You've got a grassy list, ma?
12:46I'm surprised at you, Pete, encouraging him.
12:49I don't know, don't seem to be able to trust any of you these days.
12:56Here, Foley.
12:58Hello.
12:59Here.
13:00Tony's looking for something to do a few weeks' work.
13:02I thought it might suit Arthur.
13:03Oh, yeah, thanks, Kath.
13:05Well, look, he's in the vic now.
13:06Here, you ought to get Arthur over there, you know.
13:07Strike while the iron's on.
13:08Yeah, right.
13:11Do you know your eldest is off school working for your brother?
13:14What?
13:14I've been telling you for months you ought to take him in hand.
13:17You never listen.
13:18Yeah, all right.
13:19Here, listen, can you keep an eye on this place for us for a minute?
13:21I'm busy.
13:23Got me shopping to do.
13:24You've got to sort your own life out.
13:27One of these days, I'll strangle her.
13:29No jury will convict.
13:30Yeah, I thought you and Pete were supposed to be sorting out holiday for her to keep her sweet.
13:34Gives a chance.
13:35Well, look, we found a hotel.
13:36They're sending us some details.
13:37Yeah.
13:38Well, let's hope she likes it.
13:40I want to lay bets on it.
13:41Yeah.
13:46Roger.
13:49What time did you call this?
13:54Where have you been all day?
13:58I did a few bits of shopping.
14:00Had a bite to eat.
14:01Put my feet up.
14:03Why?
14:04Did you miss me?
14:05I did, as it happens.
14:10Look good, don't they?
14:13Yeah.
14:14It was a nice port.
14:15So I'm not in a doghouse anymore?
14:18It would take more than a bunch of flowers to make up the way you treat me.
14:24I suppose I ought to be used to it by now.
14:27I don't suppose I'll ever change you.
14:29Go on.
14:30You don't want to, really.
14:33Big Ed.
14:36Well, that settlement.
14:37Start tomorrow.
14:38Great.
14:39Now I'd like to buy us all a drink.
14:41Hey, Pauline, have you got a fiver to lend us?
14:43Oh, that's all right.
14:45We've got to be getting back in the way.
14:46Yeah.
14:47You need to get a skip organized or that copper will be on our backs all week.
14:51I suppose you'll be wanting cash in hand.
14:53Oh, no, no, no.
14:54It's got to be all about ball.
14:55Cards and everything.
14:56You know what?
14:57You must be the last honest bloke left in the country.
15:00And you're into the black economy.
15:01Tone has.
15:03That suits me fine now.
15:05I'd like to ask someone I can declare in the books.
15:07See you tomorrow.
15:09Right and early, mate.
15:10Oh, I'll be there.
15:13Hey, Pauline, I'm a working man again.
15:16Congratulations.
15:17Hey, I think I've got enough for another one.
15:18What do you say?
15:19No, you've only got work for a couple of weeks.
15:21You don't come up on the pause.
15:33Oh, you wouldn't miss just one.
15:35If I'd wanted less, I'd have made less.
15:39Hey, Mum.
15:40Mark.
15:41Come in here, will you?
15:44This is Detective Sergeant Rich.
15:46This is my mum-in-law and my boy.
15:48Evening.
15:49Hello, Mark.
15:51I want to ask you a few questions.
15:53You know how it goes.
15:56Better do as he says, son.
15:57I ain't done nothing.
15:59You've been in trouble before, ain't you?
16:01You're a bit of an elusive lad.
16:03I've been trying to talk to you for a few days now.
16:05Oh, yeah.
16:07You haven't been to school much lately.
16:09I've been sick.
16:10Is that right?
16:13I wrote him a couple of notes for school.
16:15I suppose he never had the sense to give them in.
16:17Yeah.
16:19I believe there was one.
16:20Not that anyone could read the signature.
16:24What do you know about Reg Cox?
16:25The same as everyone is.
16:26Well, that must be quite a bit.
16:28When you're off sick, you spend a lot of time around here.
16:31Down at a cafe.
16:32In the market.
16:34All within a stone's throw at Reg's place.
16:36Look, I know Mark had a bit of trouble when he was younger.
16:38But that's no reason to start questioning...
16:39We're talking to everyone, sir.
16:48Now, where were you on the day Reg Cox got done?
16:52Well, come and give us a hand.
16:53A pair of you.
16:54What are you doing?
16:55Well, what's it look like?
16:57When I got down the off-licence,
16:59I had a different brand on special offer.
17:01I had to scrub around the bins for old bottles to make it look right.
17:03You don't look very hygienic.
17:05Oh, great.
17:05Call in the public health.
17:07Well, come on.
17:07Give us a hand.
17:09Don't lose your rag.
17:12Oh, by the way,
17:14Solly rang before our left.
17:17Did we know?
17:19Chumley's a whiskey stock.
17:20He's going to suss that whiskey out first sip.
17:23Well, we'll just have to hope for the best.
17:26And what about a grub?
17:28I thought you were supposed to be getting that ready.
17:29That's what I've had to pay Kath for at lunchtime, wasn't it?
17:32Don't panic.
17:33There is plenty of time.
17:34Where have you been, anyway?
17:36Oh, I picked Sharon up from school and we did a bit of shopping.
17:39Hey, Dad, we've got some great tops.
17:41Look.
17:43Just tell us the price.
17:44I'll slash me wrist later.
17:46You want us to make a good impression on Chumley, don't you?
17:48Look, if we don't get this scotch in the right bottles,
17:50we might not have a pub anymore.
17:51If anyone give a light, what sort of impression you make?
17:54Here, Sharon, give us a hand, will you?
17:58I'm going to get the food started.
18:00I'll speak to you when you're in a better mood.
18:02This naffing party's costing me a fortune.
18:05It's going to be a bloody disaster.
18:08Did you really write him a note for school, Mum?
18:12So, what's been going on?
18:14Nothing.
18:14Look, Mum, we are your family and we will speak up for you,
18:17but if something's been going on, we need to know.
18:20I told you.
18:21I ain't done nothing.
18:26I'm fine.
18:27Hello, my darling.
18:29Yeah, I don't know what all the fuss was about, do you?
18:31We can have a ton of food and booze left over.
18:34Hey, don't put it in.
18:35There's a party.
18:38I'll see you later.
18:39Not the way she's going, you won't.
18:41I'll see you later.
18:44Enough orange juice, please, Kelly.
18:46You sure you don't want to say strong at this time?
18:50There you go.
18:52It's juice.
19:01I'll try and get Angie to keep it down a bit, will you?
19:03I don't want to show me how big the chum he gets here.
19:05What do you expect me to do?
19:07I can't exactly stop her drinking in her own house, can I?
19:09Well, at least he's got to eat something.
19:10Soak it up a bit.
19:11Oh, I don't know what you're worried about, do you?
19:13It won't come now.
19:14It's well past closing time.
19:16Yeah?
19:17Well, if he's been to another boozer, that's just when he would turn up.
19:19All right.
19:20I'll try and stuff some sausage rolls down.
19:22Fat Harry from the Duke of York's just waiting for me to blow him.
19:26Hello, Harry.
19:27How's business?
19:31Come on.
19:33Just in here.
19:34Lofty.
19:35Mixers.
19:37Yeah, I just phoned the hotel again.
19:39They said they'd put me in the post, first class.
19:41Should be here in the morning.
19:42Do you think it's the sort of thing your mum will like, though, Pete?
19:44I don't know.
19:45I mean, she's always going on about the wonderful holidays we had in the old days.
19:48Oh, yeah?
19:49Yeah, a pokey little caravan in South End.
19:51Before, I was crammed into one bed.
19:53Oh, kinky.
19:54No, just plain uncomfortable.
19:56And I'm not going through that again.
19:57Nothing that gets us out of this, ain't it?
19:59You don't think your mum would for a night if Pauline had the baby, do you?
20:03Of course not.
20:04Mind you, she could make their life a misery, though.
20:19What are you doing?
20:22I was just getting some mixers up.
20:33Dead, innit?
20:34It's okay.
20:36You're joking.
20:37Well, I've known better.
20:39Give us a hand up.
20:56You're too young.
21:00Besides, I'd have your old man down on me.
21:03I hate this sort of party.
21:05Well, it's all old people, innit?
21:08You're the only one here near my age.
21:11Would you like me new outfit?
21:15Yeah, it's terrific.
21:16Dad reckons the top's too low-cut.
21:18You know what parents are like.
21:20He still thinks I'm a kid.
21:21Yeah.
21:23You know, I asked them to put some decent music on.
21:26Yeah, it might brighten things up a bit.
21:28They'll probably dig out the old carpenter records.
21:31Look, Calvary, you can't give it a rest.
21:34You keep going on about how much this party's costing us.
21:36We might as well enjoy it.
21:38Where's Sharon?
21:41Kathy, where's Sharon?
21:42Do you know where I see?
21:44Sharon?
21:46Sharon?
21:47No sign of Charlie yet?
21:48No.
21:49Well, he wants to hurry up or she's going to be legless.
21:51I don't reckon I'm ever going to get married.
21:54No?
21:55It seems to make you forget how to enjoy yourself.
21:58Yeah.
21:58Oh, I'd live with a bloke, though, you know.
22:01Well, it was good between us.
22:02But you're not going to fancy the same person forever.
22:05Not if you've got any life in you.
22:08Hey.
22:10Have I marries you?
22:12Come to me.
22:14I have.
22:15You've gone red.
22:19Aye, aye.
22:20What's going on here?
22:22I was just getting some mixers up.
22:24What are you doing?
22:25Having a chat.
22:26Well, get upstairs.
22:32Circulate.
22:36Sorry about that.
22:38She wasn't doing any harm.
22:39Yeah, well, she's at that age where she makes a beeline for anything in trousers.
22:44Do you fancy a dance, then?
22:47Yeah.
22:52Oh, what's the matter, Cheryl?
22:56I feel sick.
22:57Oh, I told you not to mix them.
22:58Why don't you take her to the bathroom?
23:01She'll probably feel a lot better afterwards.
23:03I always did at her age.
23:04Just to help drinking and going straight off.
23:06Oh, God.
23:07How much?
23:08I understand what you're going through, you know.
23:11Yeah?
23:12I don't care what anyone says.
23:14It's much worse for a bloke, I would have.
23:16Yeah.
23:18I mean, a woman gets what she can out of life.
23:21But a man, a real man, well, his instincts tell him to take it.
23:28Trouble is, there's not that many real men about these days.
23:33How are you in that department?
23:35Oh, I have my mum.
23:37I bet you, Dan.
23:39Dan, you want it on the phone?
23:41Serial manager, Mr. Chumley.
23:43He's on his way?
23:45No, he's not coming.
23:46Not coming?
23:47He never meant to turn up.
23:49He's been winding you up.
23:51Miracles do happen.
23:52Yeah, well, a few seconds smarming for next time might help you.
23:55Cheers.
23:56Hello, Mr. Chumley.
23:58How are you?
23:59Do you like me top?
24:02Yeah, it's trippy.
24:03It's new.
24:05Den went spare.
24:07I don't think he likes me to have anything nice.
24:11I think it's because he's probably aged quicker than I have.
24:15Yeah.
24:27Can you see me?
24:43Good night, Dan.
24:45Good night, Dan.
24:48Good night, Dan.
