00:38It's your cab, then, is it?
00:40Yeah.
00:41Well, it shouldn't be too much trouble for you to get down to the station, then, should it?
00:44We need a full statement.
00:47When am I supposed to get my kit?
00:49I was working till two.
00:55What do you mean, go slow?
00:57I've only got a small seller here, I can't carry a reserve.
01:01I have heart, Henry, I'm down to my last barrel of cooking, you know what it's like.
01:05All right, mate, when can I expect a delivery?
01:11And you, mate.
01:12Oh, mangy, half-wit mongrel.
01:15My ankle.
01:17This dog lies in wait for me, I swear it does.
01:20Oh, shag pile on wheels.
01:22Can I get you anything?
01:24Here, the dog.
01:25Very funny, ha-ha.
01:27What happened to me tea this morning?
01:29I had other things on me mind.
01:30Oh, like what?
01:31Delivery didn't come.
01:32What?
01:33Drivers are unstruck.
01:34For how long?
01:36Indefinitely.
01:36Oh, that's all I need.
01:39Do you think Chumley's behind this, cutting us up cos he thinks we're on the fiddle, eh?
01:42That booze was for a private party.
01:43He can't prove otherwise, can he?
01:45Bit of quick thinking on your part, that was, Den.
01:47We're having a party, I don't think.
01:49Would you like to come, Mr Chumley, bring the wife, of course?
01:51We don't think he'd take us up on it, do you?
01:54Mum, she wants hers in her room.
01:56Oh, well, we'd better pound her to her, I suppose.
01:58She wants a fried egg and a dip slice.
02:01Oh, she's doing it on purpose, she is.
02:04I'll do it.
02:05Oh, thanks, Mum.
02:06She says she's not coming down if it means seeing him.
02:09But he's still in bed, she knows he is.
02:11I don't see why he gets a line.
02:12I mean, when do I ever get the chance?
02:14It's like Capham Junction down here.
02:17And that's another thing, where's that baby going to sleep when it grows up?
02:20Shut up.
02:21It won't be a baby when it grows up.
02:22Well, I suppose I'll be out in the back garden right then.
02:26I don't blame her for kicking up.
02:28Who?
02:29Gran.
02:30And look at him hiding up in his room.
02:32He's not hiding, he's just keeping out from under Mum's feet.
02:37Oi, leave him alone.
02:39I mean, she knows he doesn't like him hanging around in the rush hour.
02:44You heard the latest, we're expecting a little visitor.
02:47Little visitor? That's what Gran calls fleas.
02:50Oh, breakers.
02:51Isn't that nice?
02:53Ha, ha, ha.
02:54Oh, dear.
03:01Hi, Hugh Lofty. Come on in.
03:03I'm running late.
03:04You're a real little cracker you are.
03:06What is that you've got on your hair?
03:08Gold dust.
03:09Come out all over the pillars, made a dreadful mess.
03:12I had to put them in soap.
03:13Oh, so you'll be doing the wash anyway?
03:15Look, if you come in for tea, he's had it all.
03:19And it's too late for me to make any more.
03:22What's the matter?
03:23Not got any of your own?
03:25Nah, clean out.
03:26And what would have run on the pound?
03:27I haven't been able to get any more, if you see what I mean.
03:29What happened to your doll?
03:31You want someone to look after you, you do.
03:34Oh, no, I do, Ethel.
03:35But who'd have me?
03:36No job, no money.
03:37I ain't even got to spare for the laundry.
03:38You need encouraging, you do.
03:40Get yourself a girl.
03:42Ooh, do you very good.
03:43I've got to go and do that surgery.
03:46Well, you don't need any encouraging, Ethel, that's for sure.
03:48All them boyfriends are yawn.
03:50Look here.
03:50Will you clear out?
03:52Let me get on.
03:53You'll get me into trouble.
03:55Coming in here in your pyjamas.
03:57Hey, look, you're right, though, Ethel, I do need somebody to look after me.
04:00So, um, do you think you could do a little something for me, ain't it,
04:03just until this girl turns up?
04:05Oh, like what?
04:06Great tar, Ethel, I knew you would.
04:09Screw it.
04:11Here, well, here's the boy.
04:13Here, what's all this?
04:14It's me washing this, nothing much, just a few smalls.
04:19Oh, tar, love, thanks.
04:21Here, is your dinner money?
04:23Oh, tar.
04:23Mark?
04:25Ooh.
04:26I don't know how she could.
04:29All right, you ready then?
04:30Yeah, all right.
04:35Oi, come on, Mark.
04:36Yeah, come in.
04:42Don't look very appetising.
04:44Yeah, well, Michelle cooked it.
04:46Oh, suppose it won't be poison, then.
04:49What are you hanging about for?
04:50Well, I thought you might lack a bit of company.
04:52Freeze a crowd, didn't you know?
04:54Oh, Mum.
04:55Don't you mum me?
04:57I'm, er, going for my test today.
04:59Oh, really?
05:00I didn't know you needed a licence for it.
05:02It's a sort of scan, you know, make sure the baby's all right.
05:05Well, who's going to go with me this afternoon, then?
05:08Well, I'm sorry, Mum, but I can't expect the hospital to arrange its life around your bingo now, can I?
05:14Oh, come on.
05:15It's only a little baby.
05:16It won't be so bad.
05:17No, it won't.
05:18It won't be here.
05:19I told him.
05:20You have that baby and you're all out.
05:22Oh, you don't mean it.
05:23Don't tell me what I mean.
05:25I do still have some say in me own home, don't I?
05:27Of course.
05:28I mean, it is called family planning, isn't it?
05:30Family being the word.
05:32Family meaning everybody, including me.
05:35Yeah, well, we didn't plan it.
05:36It just sort of happened.
05:38Oh, yeah?
05:38Found it under the gooseberry bush, did you?
05:41Oh, go away.
05:43You put me off me food.
05:45Well, I expect Arthur will eat it.
05:46No, he won't.
05:48Bread's got to be earned.
05:53Go on, say it.
05:55I hope it chokes you.
05:59And when's he going to see to that bullcock?
06:02Or is he waiting for the ceiling to come down first?
06:06How is she?
06:07Oh, she was all about that bullcock again.
06:09Oh, right, all right.
06:12Gordon Bennett, look at this.
06:19It's actually Sergeant Ridge, sir.
06:20Oh, right.
06:21Sit down.
06:23Coffee?
06:24Yes, please.
06:25It's about Mr. Cox, isn't it?
06:27Yeah, I spoke to your Inspector Marsh.
06:29What's the official diagnosis?
06:31Murder, sir.
06:32Look, I hate to ask you to go through this again,
06:34but who called you in?
06:35Dennis Watts from the pub.
06:36He came over to the surgery.
06:38What did he say?
06:39Well, he said that Ridge hadn't been seen for a couple of days,
06:41that they found him in his room
06:42and he'd had a stroke or something.
06:43Well, I picked up my bag and went.
06:45And who was there when you first got there?
06:47Arthur Fowler, he was there, and Ali Osman.
06:49He and his wife live in the flat below.
06:51Have they moved him, do you know?
06:53They said not.
06:55And how was the body when you first saw it?
06:57Ridge was sitting in a chair and one arm was bent under him,
07:00as though he'd fallen backwards.
07:02Which arm?
07:03The right one.
07:05Do you notice any signs of a struggle?
07:07No.
07:08Look, you must know most of the people around here, Dr. Legg.
07:11Who do you think might have done it?
07:15He's dead.
07:16Who's dead?
07:17Ridge Cox.
07:18He was murdered.
07:20You hear that, Den?
07:21Oh, poor old Ridge.
07:22Oh, like him all of a sudden, do you?
07:24He used to cause ructions in the public when he'd had too many,
07:27which was most days.
07:28Yeah, but all the same, what are we going to do with this?
07:30It's supposed to be for flowers for him in the hospital.
07:32They're not going to want flowers in the morgue, are they?
07:33He didn't collect enough for a bunch of daffs anyway.
07:35Now, if people had only known it would have ended up as a refund,
07:38oh, they'd be much more willing to fork out for it.
07:40Oh, a refund, that's a good idea.
07:42I'll give you a five bob for it.
07:43See what I mean?
07:45It's from him.
07:46The area manager, Chumley.
07:48The alterations to the pub plan have been put to the brewery
07:51and are being considered.
07:52Well, what's wrong with that?
07:53It's what you want, isn't it?
07:55Also, thanks for the invite to the party you bought the whiskey for.
07:58Not sure yet if I can come.
08:00We'll advise.
08:01We'll advise?
08:02What's that mean?
08:03It means he's going to keep us in suspense.
08:06Don't bother sit down.
08:07It's no good.
08:09You've only just got here.
08:11Yes, but I'm afraid, Angie.
08:13Honest I am, aren't you?
08:14No, it's probably just someone with a grievance.
08:17That's all.
08:18Well, whoever this man was, he's walking around right now.
08:21He could walk in here any minute.
08:24Not if we don't get this pub open, he won't.
08:27He might have lived if we'd found him sooner.
08:30I mean, I feel terrible.
08:31Right on our own doorstep.
08:33I mean, we knew him.
08:35What time's your appointment?
08:37Eleven o'clock.
08:38Mind you, there'll be half a dozen others there at the same time,
08:41knowing them.
08:41But Cass's standing at the laundrette for us.
08:43Asked her to go to bingo with Mara North?
08:46Yeah, yeah, I suppose I could.
08:47We've got to keep the old bags sweet, haven't we?
08:49I'm beginning to feel a bit nervous.
08:51Why don't you give up that smoking?
08:53Yeah, it's all right.
08:54Well, it's daft porn, isn't it?
08:55It's money going up in smoke.
08:56All right.
08:58I don't know what Mum's going to say about this red cox.
09:00Yeah.
09:02They had a whip round for flowers in the Vic.
09:04I slunk off to the gents to avoid putting anything in.
09:06I never thought I'd sink that low.
09:09Look, why don't you try the job centre again?
09:12Think I ain't been trying.
09:14I know.
09:15It's just Mum, you know, it would show willing just till she comes round a bit.
09:19You get that brand off, you...
09:21You feel like...
09:23What's the point?
09:24You know there's nothing there, so...
09:27So, you just have to try that bit harder, that's all.
09:31Yeah.
09:33Here, what was Mark doing wearing your flash shirt today?
09:36Was he? For school?
09:37Yeah, right fancied himself, innit?
09:40Well, I rather fancied myself, innit?
09:42Yeah, so did I.
09:44Look where it got me.
09:46And they haven't finished with us yet.
09:48We've both got to go down the station tonight.
09:51What did you tell him then?
09:52Well, what about?
09:54Well, you must have noticed something.
09:55What's that supposed to mean?
09:57Like, what was the last time you've seen, for instance?
09:59Well, how should I know that?
10:00Well, I just thought they might have told you, that's all.
10:06Look, why don't you two kiss and make up love done with it, eh?
10:11I'm going, mate.
10:13Yeah, go on then, put it there.
10:15Listen, if there's anything I can do,
10:17I hear you've been having a bit of a rough time with the old bill, eh?
10:19Nothing I can't handle.
10:20Only, if you need an alibi...
10:22I'm his alibi.
10:23He was with me.
10:25And he's got the mark, so he's back to prove it.
10:28Hi.
10:29Hello.
10:30Well, I don't suppose you've heard of any jobs going by, the way.
10:33Well, I know you're pretty pushed.
10:35You never stop working, do you?
10:36We, er, we operate on a pretty slim margin list.
10:39Oh, yeah, I wouldn't have asked, only you.
10:41No, glad you did.
10:42There ought to be more community spirit.
10:44We've got to look after each other, and I don't just mean the old people.
10:48Only, sorry, we can't help.
10:52Have you all stopped at that upper marketplace?
10:54What?
10:54Well, they're bound to be wanting staff, aren't they?
10:56Oh, yeah, thanks.
10:57And thanks for volunteering, by the way.
10:59What for?
11:00Bingo, Jean.
11:01Got to make sure she gives her full air some week.
11:05Arthur Fowler.
11:06Yeah?
11:07I'm Detective Sergeant Rich.
11:09Will you spare a few minutes?
11:11Yeah.
11:14Now, what is this, Lou?
11:16Are you ill, or what?
11:18It's Pauline and Arthur.
11:20It's them I'm sick about.
11:21Breeding like rabbits.
11:24Ah, I wondered if they got round to telling you.
11:27Well, they seem very pleased.
11:28Well, they'll be smiling on the other side of their faces when I've done with them.
11:32I've given them notice.
11:33What?
11:34Well, they'll stop in here.
11:35They've got to find somewhere else.
11:36Now, don't do anything rash, Lou.
11:38You'll be sorry.
11:38I'm sorry now.
11:40This big house all on your own.
11:42Well, look what happened to poor Reg Cox.
11:44Now, I'm thinking of you, Louise.
11:46You're trying to put the wind up me now, aren't you?
11:49Well, why don't you get my family a few more points?
11:52Push them up the housing list.
11:54There's no case.
11:55What about overcrowding, for God's sake?
11:58Overcrowding?
11:58Do you remember what it was like in the old days, Lou?
12:01The whole family gathered together under one roof.
12:04Well, it didn't come in a Pickford's van.
12:06And you, the centre of it all.
12:08All the family revolving around you.
12:10You were the linchpin, Lou.
12:11I was the mug.
12:12I'm sorry, Doctor.
12:13I made up my mind.
12:14I've got to go.
12:15How was he?
12:17I thought he was dead then he was so cold.
12:19So you did touch him?
12:20Yeah, all right.
12:21I did, but only touch.
12:22You didn't move him?
12:23No.
12:24Where'd you touch him?
12:26On the wrist.
12:26Take this pulse, you know.
12:28His other arm was sort of crumped up behind him.
12:31Which arm would that be?
12:32The right arm or the left arm?
12:33The one you touched?
12:35The right?
12:36Anyone else touch him?
12:37I can't remember.
12:38Ali might have done.
12:39Mr. Osney, yeah?
12:40Yeah.
12:42Did you touch anything else in the room?
12:43No.
12:44Oh, yeah, the whiskey bottle.
12:48No.
12:48Oh, yeah, the whiskey bottle.
12:50So he can eliminate him.
12:56How'd you do that?
12:57I was helping a bloke check his points.
12:59He rolled the car wheel right over my hand.
13:02I thumped somebody.
13:04Who?
13:05A mate.
13:07Have a lot of mates, do you?
13:08Name?
13:09Nick Cotton.
13:10Where were you?
13:12Pub.
13:14When?
13:15A couple of days ago.
13:17Any witnesses?
13:18A whole bar full.
13:19Well, that do you?
13:20Where do I find this Nick Cotton?
13:22You eat them, then.
13:23Ah, come on.
13:23It's not like you to look a gift horse.
13:25There's a lot not like me.
13:26What do you want?
13:27What do you mean?
13:28I've just come round to see me old mum, ain't I?
13:30I mean, we don't want you dying off without us knowing about it.
13:33Not like old Reggie, do we?
13:34Fat chance.
13:35At least he had a bit of privacy.
13:37You wouldn't think a thing like that could happen round here, would you, Ma?
13:40I mean, it's getting like that estate.
13:41Pape, you want to watch out for yourself?
13:44I am watching out for myself.
13:46It's not like the old days.
13:47I've had old Reg on at me about them.
13:49He got nowhere neither.
13:52Mum, about Paulie Nath and the baby.
13:54Ah, I wonder when you get on to them.
13:56Come on, you're not really firm out on the street, will you?
13:58Watch me.
13:59Come on, accidents will happen.
14:01In this day and age?
14:02We're no good little family.
14:03What do you know about it?
14:05Well, think of the kid then, Ma.
14:07We have got family responsibility.
14:09I've thought of my kids all me life.
14:11Never think of me, do they?
14:14Come on.
14:15You think the world of you is...
14:16Oh, shut up!
14:17Proper little social worker, ain't you, eh?
14:21Marriage guidance counsellor, is that what you're setting yourself up as, eh?
14:24On about families all the time.
14:26Fat lot you know about families.
14:28Broke your own up, didn't you?
14:29You don't know nothing about marriage, do you?
14:31Look how your first one went up the creek.
14:34Two grandsons I got, God knows where.
14:36And you go on to me about family responsibility.
14:39Don't make me laugh.
14:41I'm glad somebody does.
14:44And Cathy says she'll go up the bingo with you this afternoon.
14:47Sub bingo!
14:49When you got a minute, Ange?
14:51You thought we'd have tried a lager, Ethel?
14:53Very nice with lime.
14:54Lager and lime, me?
14:56You must be joking.
14:57I've got to keep my strength up.
14:59I've got it every day, including half-hundred way to laundry.
15:03Well, it was just while the driver's truck was on.
15:05We were running low on your poison.
15:06Oh, well, thanks for telling me.
15:08Better make it a pint.
15:10Best to be safe.
15:12There you are, girls.
15:13There's your half.
15:15Half of last.
15:19What are you for?
15:21I saw that.
15:22He can't keep his eyes to himself, can he?
15:24Well, lucky old you.
15:26I've forgotten what it feels like.
15:27Come round this side of the counter, girl, and I'll remind you.
15:30You keep your eyes to yourself.
15:32You're all right at the party, Aidan.
15:34Lots of opportunities there.
15:36What party?
15:37Well, the one you was talking about earlier.
15:43Who told me about the party?
15:45Nobody, anyway.
15:46Who are we going to invite?
15:47Don't.
15:47We're not having one.
15:48Who are we going to have to if the area manager accepts your kind invitation?
15:51He won't.
15:52What he wants, Ange, is I should think he's going to come.
15:54So we rush out and buying a lot of booze.
15:56It's all a bluff.
15:56That's all it is.
15:57He won't come.
15:58Oh, I see.
15:59You think he's purposely trying to put the screws on us, then?
16:02Oh, speak of the devil.
16:04Governor, it's me.
16:06May I have a word?
16:09It's Angie here.
16:10Yeah, Albert Square.
16:11Listen, we've got a bit of a problem here.
16:13Luxford and Copley's having a driver's strike, see, and we're running a bit short of ordinary.
16:17Do you think you could help out?
16:18Sell us a barrel, eh?
16:20Oh, yeah, we'd be ever so grateful.
16:22I wasn't doing the books.
16:24Of course not.
16:24If it was that afternoon.
16:26We think so.
16:27As soon as you left here after closing.
16:29It's a bit awkward.
16:30Does she have to know?
16:31Who?
16:32The wife.
16:35Where were you, then?
16:38Cold feet, Mr. Watts.
16:40No.
16:41Wet feet.
16:42Occupational hazard.
16:43Spilt some beer on.
16:44Where were you?
16:45Visiting.
16:47Oh.
16:48Lady friend, isn't it?
16:50Ten out of ten.
16:51I'll need an address.
16:52I was afraid you might.
16:54By the way, when Reg Cox left here, who was with him?
16:59No, as far as I remember.
17:00Who was he boozing with?
17:01I told you, drank on his own.
17:05All right.
17:07I'll need that address now.
17:09Please.
17:11How'd you get on?
17:12All right.
17:12A bit sore.
17:13Oh, did it?
17:14Just a bit.
17:15She's shown her face yet, has she?
17:17Not that I know.
17:17I've been out.
17:19Here, you don't get the results of this test for a whole month.
17:22Can you beat it?
17:24Here, you've been pinching my fags.
17:26What?
17:27I had a full packet this morning.
17:28I haven't smoked that many.
17:31Why would I pinch them?
17:32Well, you've made your feelings on the subject pretty clear, haven't you?
17:34I mean, what else have I got?
17:36Well, you know you shouldn't.
17:38It calms me stomach, doesn't it?
17:39I felt a right idiot burping through that test this afternoon.
17:42Well, I haven't pinched your precious fags.
17:44Well, if you haven't, who has then, eh?
17:45Tell us that.
17:46I don't know, do I?
17:54It's the old bag, isn't it?
17:56Getting us down.
17:57Yeah.
17:58Erin.
17:59Oh, Arthur, I can't help it.
18:00It keeps nagging at me.
18:01I mean, supposing the baby's not all right, eh?
18:04Oh, don't be silly, Pauline.
18:06You mean trouble halfway.
18:08Well, I went after a job.
18:09Kathy put me onto it.
18:10You hypermarked it.
18:11And?
18:14It had already gone.
18:17Yeah, well, don't be surprised if there's something wrong with this baby.
18:20That old witch has probably put a curse on the little beggar.
18:27I'd have given Jan's address, didn't I?
18:29I mean, that's my alibi, is there?
18:32I just hope Angie never finds out about her.
18:34That does not to bear thinking about.
18:38I mean, all you ask is a bit of discretion, eh?
18:40Oh, I don't know, then.
18:42I don't know.
18:42Get yours open in some tight corners, mate.
18:44You've got to get a bit of love in somewhere.
18:47Has he been around to speak to you?
18:48I have not yet.
18:50Coldfish.
18:52Did old cocks have any money, Pete?
18:54Well, I mean, there's rumours.
18:55But there always is rumours.
18:57Yeah, the old bill never found any.
18:58Didn't even have any loose change.
19:00Hictus collection, though.
19:01You what?
19:02Didn't you ever see them?
19:03All them souvenirs of the war?
19:05You wouldn't murder an old boy for something like that.
19:08None of us would do a thing like that, would we?
19:12How much are those?
19:1345p.
19:15Look, if you want to know where my husband is
19:17or when he's coming back, don't ask me.
19:19Ask his company.
19:20He's a cab driver.
19:22Don't ask me.
19:23Never mind.
19:25I'm sure I'll catch up with him.
19:30What do you want, Loft?
19:31A cup of tea and a cheese and onion breakfast.
19:35It's nearly tea time.
19:36Is it?
19:37Yeah, well, I thought I'd have a bit of a break
19:38while my laundry's in.
19:39Ethel's doing it.
19:40You blokes, you're all the same.
19:42Here you are.
19:45Oopsie.
19:50I think I'd better go and see how my laundry's doing.
19:52You lot?
19:53Hey, Ant, you haven't paid for your...
19:57Who's he?
20:00George Holloway, Lofty.
20:02Lives in the doctor's house and he owes me 54p.
20:05And is he paying for the washing powder, for the drying?
20:08He hasn't said anything.
20:10Ethel, why must you be such a pushover?
20:13You're not getting any younger and you're doing too much as it is.
20:16Oh, don't remind me.
20:17I shall be having words with young Lofty.
20:19Oh, I enjoy me work at the pub and here and...
20:23Yes, all right, but no more favours for Lofty.
20:25He should be doing favours for you.
20:27Well, I did wonder about an extra bolt on me door.
20:30Well, make him do it in return for the washing.
20:32It'll do him good.
20:33Here.
20:34Do you think that cop has found out anything?
20:37Let's hope so, Ethel.
20:38Well, I haven't got much faith in him, have you?
20:41Didn't know what he was talking about.
20:42Ask me.
20:44What did you say in your statement?
20:46Out cabbing.
20:47I've told you already.
20:48Were you?
20:49Don't start.
20:50Were you?
20:51Leave it out, Sue.
20:52Well, you don't often go cabbing in the afternoon.
20:55Oh, yeah?
20:56I know what's coming next.
20:57Where you at with another woman?
20:59God almighty.
21:01Were you?
21:02If I say I wasn't, you won't believe me.
21:04You'll only believe me if I say I was.
21:06So, all right, have it your way.
21:07I was.
21:08You weren't.
21:09All right, I wasn't.
21:10You believe what you want.
21:11You usually bloody well do.
21:16You sounded the alarm, yeah?
21:17Well, we keep a carton from every day, see?
21:19And we got worried when he didn't come in for them.
21:22Did you see any strangers around that day?
21:24Of course, plenty.
21:25We get the overflow from the market.
21:27When they can't get what they want there, they come in here.
21:29Sometimes I go around there myself.
21:31Bloody odd things somebody's asked for.
21:33You know, I don't know how it ain't still so cheap.
21:36I mean, now look at this.
21:38Now that is 15 pence cheaper than I can do it for.
21:41Well, it's gone past a sell-by day.
21:44What?
21:44A sell-by day, see?
21:47Oh.
21:49Tell me, how do you find the people around here?
21:53What are they like?
21:55Keep themselves to themselves.
21:57You finished yet, sexy?
22:00There was an hell of a lot, Lofty.
22:02Oh, no, Ethel, you're brill.
22:04Only I need a shirt for this evening, see?
22:06Come and get your skates on.
22:08I'm on duty in 15 minutes.
22:12You can come.
22:13No, that's great.
22:15Angie will be pleased.
22:16Just a minute.
22:17Angie, guess what?
22:19It's Mr Chumley.
22:20He says he can come to the party after all.
22:22Isn't that nice?
22:24She's thrilled, Mr Chumley.
22:27Absolutely out of her mind.
22:37Yeah, look how she carried on when you two got itch.
22:40Oh, she hasn't forgiven me yet.
22:41I mean, I wouldn't mind, but can't have nothing to do with my divorce.
22:44She never came on the scene in a long time after that.
22:47Evening.
22:47Yeah.
22:48It's all right, mate?
22:48Oh, you're early, aren't you?
22:50I haven't even got me war paint on yet.
22:54Lofty, you working or just being decorative?
22:57Sorry.
22:59Oh, what can I get you?
23:00Oh, what would you like?
23:01No, don't worry, sis.
23:02I still owe half a wet fester and cammin he did the other day.
23:04Usual.
23:05What do you want, sis?
23:06I don't know.
23:06I feel a bit, um...
23:08Oh, feeling a bit Tom and Dick, are we?
23:10Yeah, just a bit.
23:11Can I make a suggestion?
23:12Try a perno, love.
23:13There's nothing like it for settling the stomach.
23:15Very sophisticated drink, that is.
23:17Oh, well, that should suit me down to the ground, then.
23:19Yeah, I'll try and think once.
23:21Well, if you'd excuse me, I'm going to go upstairs and get ready.
23:23I'll see you later.
23:24Ring the bell if it gets busy, Lofty.
23:27Yeah, do you think she really would see us out on the street?
23:30Oh, she won't.
23:31Well, I wouldn't put it past her.
23:33She's just enjoying a bit of power, that's all.
23:35She's going to give you all the egg roll she can and then give in.
23:37Look all big doing it.
23:40Where's Mark?
23:41Where is he?
23:42I don't know.
23:43Where's Mark?
23:44Oh, he said he'd gone to a good guy with Gray.
23:45You got one I didn't expect.
23:47My brother-in-law's son.
23:48You all three of you go to the same store?
23:50Yeah.
23:51Mark will be leaving soon.
23:52Got a job lined up, has he?
23:54Yeah, well, there's a lot of it about, isn't there?
23:57You're unemployed yourself, isn't you, Mr. Fowler?
23:59Yeah.
24:00Yeah, it's what I thought.
24:02There's not a lot of money around, is there?
24:05Not a lot left over for pocket money, I shouldn't think.
24:07I don't need pocket money, I work.
24:10Saturday's at the hairdressers and two late shifts a week at the Hamburger Express.
24:14And you?
24:15Well, with Dad and his store?
24:16Do you get paid?
24:17Yeah.
24:18And what about your brother?
24:20Mark doesn't work.
24:21Now, the afternoon Mr. Cox was attacked.
24:24He was at school.
24:26All of you?
24:27I mean, they don't do these tests for nothing, do they?
24:30And, well, I'm not that old, am I?
24:33Well, my bits are doing with you and Pete being twins.
24:35Yeah, they might be expecting double trouble.
24:38Oh, my God, I never thought of that.
24:41Here, Pete, Kathy reckons I might be expecting twins.
24:44Oh, that'll give her something to think about.
24:46Here.
24:48Absent friends.
24:49I'll drink to that.
24:52Ooh.
24:53What's the matter?
24:55Oh, that's aniseed.
24:56I hate aniseed.
24:59What time did you call this, then?
25:01I thought you finished at 5.30.
25:03We do, so you're out of luck.
25:04Why is it so late, then?
25:05Because I'm having to tidy up on me Todd, aren't I?
25:08I thought you might be down the nick,
25:10making your statement.
25:11Well, I can't leave the baby on his own, now, can I?
25:15God, darling.
25:16I don't suppose you lot would be very happy about having him there,
25:20especially if he was crying.
25:22Well, is her on there, then, eh?
25:25How about if we arrange some sort of treat for her?
25:27Oh, she's had chocolates, fruit, and reviews both.
25:30Oh, no, something more than that.
25:31Enjoy your perno, love.
25:32Oh, I'll drink it.
25:34Here, range.
25:35You know Mum's been kicking up about Pauline's baby and everything?
25:38Yeah.
25:38Well, we've been trying to think of something to bring her round, like.
25:41You know, a treat of some sort.
25:42Got any ideas?
25:43Something to get her out of my ear, if possible.
25:45Send her away.
25:47Holidays.
25:48Oh, yes.
25:48Yeah, that ain't a bad idea.
25:50Oh, she can't go on her own.
25:52Well, she's...
25:53Well, she had a long chat with Michelle in her room this afternoon.
25:56Oh, yeah, the kid could do with a break.
25:58Why not?
25:59Yes, there's just one snag.
26:01Money.
26:02Oh, we're all chipping.
26:04Collecting's our hot spot, innit?
26:06Yeah.
26:07Arthur, it's the roof over our heads.
26:09Yeah, I know.
26:10It's a good idea.
26:12We'll manage it somehow.
26:13Thanks, Pete.
26:14Well, it's called for celebration.
26:15How about a nice bottle of sparkling wine?
26:18Sorry, Ange.
26:19I know you're running a bit low on beer, but...
26:21Oh, yeah.
26:21No Burno, either.
26:25I've got something to celebrate.
26:27What are you having, Ethel?
26:29Anybody serving in this bar?
26:32Hello.
26:33Oh, you look cheerful.
26:35I am.
26:35I won.
26:37The bingo.
26:38Oh, good.
26:39You're just in time to buy your family around.
26:41Who says?
26:42You can have their share.
26:44What'll it be?
26:45It's all right, Ange.
26:45I'll get yours, Mum.
26:47Oh, come up on the pools, have you?
26:50You keep it, son.
26:51You need it more than me.
26:55Come on, let's go home.
26:57Good cow.
26:58Yeah, maybe an holiday camp was sooner, better than Clacton.
27:01Quite long away, for instance.
27:02Bye, Mum.
27:06Me and Den's having a little party on Wednesday night.
27:08Do you fancy coming?
27:09Might cheer you up, eh?
27:10Yeah.
27:11Bye, all.
27:12Bye.
27:18Don't start.
27:20Don't tell me you've been out working.
27:22I phoned the company.
27:23They hadn't seen you all night.
27:25You did what?
27:25Well, I wanted to know where you were.
27:28I mean, what are they going to see?
27:29The same as me, I expect.
27:30You with another woman.
27:31Well, I wasn't, as a matter of fact.
27:33I was gambling.
27:34Oh.
27:34And what's more, I won.
27:37I was going to give you this to spend.
27:39But I'm not now.
27:42I'm going to put it on a horse.
27:45Ali?
27:48Ali?
27:49Ali?
28:10Well, I haven't seen you.
28:24Well, not now.
28:27Bye.
28:30Bye.
28:31Bye.
28:35Bye.
