04:04I'm not leaving it.
04:06It's gone.

05:06I mean, sorry, I know that

05:19celebrate Nigel's life
05:20give Phil and Julie a little pick-me-up
05:22when they get back

05:27that's a lovely idea, we'll set it all up in the Vic, yeah?
05:31everyone's welcome
05:37I didn't know that you and Nigel were best mates
05:40since we were teenagers
05:42so I was Phil at the care home of him last night

06:31that'll be the sherry
06:32you drank sherry?
06:34oh, we drunk everything

06:42we've got a wake to organise
06:44Nigel passed away last night

06:55they're all going to be sad
06:56but we're not
06:57not in here
06:58we're going to be all smiles
06:59because that's what Nigel would have wanted, alright?

11:19yeah
11:20just
11:21trying to stay clear of certain people
11:22yeah, but not me, right?
11:25did you hear about Nige?
11:27yeah
11:28it's really sad, innit?
11:29they're gonna go to the Vic
11:30they're all in there
11:32depends
11:34Cindy and Dad nip to town if that's what you're worried about
11:36so you heard about them too then?
11:39alright, yeah, I might go then
11:41just when I've finished all this
11:43talking of Dad
11:46I think he was really upset
11:47after you left
11:49good
11:49it kinda looked to me like he'd been crying
11:53I think he really wants to apologise
11:56for whatever may
11:58or may not
11:59have happened with or without
12:03Cindy
12:03he slept with Cindy
12:05in the room next to my son
12:07we don't actually know they were doing that
12:09you know, it could be
12:11history would suggest that neither of them know how to do anything
12:14anything else
12:16why are you defending them anyway?
12:20oh
12:23Dad's asked you to find me
12:25and talk me around, hasn't he?
12:26no
12:29yes
12:30why would you choose his side over mine?
12:32I'm on everyone's side, Lauren
12:34basically, I'm all about family
12:36he paid you, didn't he?
12:39money may have passed
12:40between certain hands grinding
12:42but I would have done this for the sake of family unity in any case
12:45and whatever he might have done
12:47did do
12:49maybe you should remember
12:50he saved Jimmy's life last week
12:54no, not even doing it
12:55what? I'm not doing it
12:57that's a yes
13:01unless
13:10he's not doing it
13:13no, not even doing it
13:14no!
13:15yes
13:17what do you want to do?
13:23so, was he um, like was he actually in the room with Nigel when he passed?
13:28Yeah, I think so.
13:30You haven't talked to him?
13:32Have you tried talking to my brother when he's in this kind of mood?
13:35You know what? Go on, it's best to leave him on his own.
13:37Let him, you know, decompress.
13:40Yeah, well, that's what we did last time, didn't we?
13:42Look what happened then.
13:43Billy's right. We all stood back before.
13:47Better to reach out and get knocked back than do nothing.
13:51Good luck with that.
14:01Come to see how you were doing.
14:05Oh, what you got there?
14:07Stone.
14:09Nice.
14:10Where do you get it?
14:12Gonna keep talking to me like my father, you're all.
14:16Think we know each other better than that, don't we?
14:18Everyone's just worried about you, that's all.
14:20Why?
14:22He's the one that's lost the last minute, she.
14:26Yeah, but...
14:27You know.
14:31Yeah, yeah, yeah, I do.
14:34Everyone thinks that now Nigel's gone,
14:36I'm gonna go into a depression and...
14:38and do something stupid,
14:39or stood there watching me like I'm an animal in a zoo or something.
14:43You push people away before a film.
14:46Don't make the same mistake twice.
14:48Yeah, anyway, I don't know no matter what.
14:54You know, things have changed.
14:59You are the best mate a man could ever ask for.
15:03But now, I need some people.
15:09You're not coming over to the Vic for Nigel's, do?
15:11I don't think that I'd want to inflict myself on anyone right now.
15:16Do you mind if I sit?
15:27You know, in the States,
15:29we eat doughnuts for breakfast.
15:31That's probably why I've got such a sweet tooth.
15:32Oh, fascinating.
15:35You know, I'm really not in the mood for a small talk.
15:40Say no more.
15:41Neither am I.
15:42I'll happily just sit here in silence
15:44and eat my doughnut.
15:50It's just my dad.
15:54As soon as I think that he's like background noise,
15:56he comes roaring back into my life again.
15:58Just doing what he always does.
16:01He just causes chaos.
16:02He turns us all against each other.
16:04All together just makes a massive mess.
16:06Well, at least he ain't boring.
16:07He's infuriating.
16:09That's what he is.
16:10You still love him.
16:11Don't you?
16:13Yeah.
16:13Of course I do.
16:14He's my dad.
16:16You make it sound like it's guaranteed, right?
16:18Just trust me, it ain't.
16:20My dad.
16:22Grant.
16:23I don't know him.
16:25And I don't want to know him.
16:27Your old man sounds a bit like a muppet.
16:30But at least he's putting the hours in.
16:32And that ain't nothing.
16:37Right.
16:38All this small talk is making me thirsty.
16:40So I'm going to get another drink.
16:43If you do want to inflict yourself on someone,
16:46I'll be at the dick.
17:05I'll be at the dick.
17:20It was brilliant, thank you, Levin.
17:22He was so nice to me.
17:25I'm going to miss him a lot.
17:27Yeah.
17:28Me too.
17:31What do you mean all too skinny and handsome to play Santa Claus?
17:36Outrageous.
17:38I forgot about this bit.
17:41Madra was just messing about.
17:42I'm sorry.
17:42Don't miss Sally, play it, please.
17:44I want to see him.
17:45I'd love to see him.
17:53So do you want this part or not?
17:56Not really, no.
17:58Come on.
17:59Are you?
17:59It's brilliant.
18:00Come on, give us a ho-ho.
18:03Ho, ho, ho.
18:05Isn't that brilliant?
18:06Do it with a bit more feeling?
18:10Ho, ho, ho.
18:12Merry Christmas.
18:14What are you doing?
18:16I'm going to tell you what I want for Christmas.
18:18Get off with your big love.
18:20Have I been a good boy?
18:21Yeah, you've been a good boy.
18:24You weigh a ton.
18:25Why is Santa Claus good at fighting?
18:28I don't know.
18:28Why is Santa Claus good at fighting?
18:30Because he's got a black belt.
18:33Put this Santa's day on holiday.
18:36Where that I wear the Santa's day.
18:38A ho-ho-hotel.
18:40Oh, no.
18:45Oi, Phil.
18:47Phil.
18:48Hold up.
18:50Where you going?
18:51Where does it look like I'm playing?
18:52I'm just going home or something.
18:55What, you don't want to be on your own?
18:57I'm not on a day like this.
18:58This is exactly where I want to be.
19:00I want to be a million miles away from that life.
19:03Well, away from the people who love you,
19:05people who care about you.
19:06So I don't need a lecture on family relations from you,
19:09all right?
19:11You speak to him hard, like we said.
19:14I'm trying.
19:15But he's, he ain't having it.
19:19There's a Markle coming out of my knees.
19:21I'm not being funny.
19:22I just, I just want to,
19:26I just want some time on my own.
19:28That's all.
19:30And I'll speak to you.
19:32Yes, sir.
19:33Yes.
19:33Five, five, six, one, two, three.
20:27Well, if he says he wants to be on his own for a bit, I think that's all right, don't
20:32you?
20:32Look, we've just lost our best mate. If he wants to be on his own, I don't see the problem.
20:39Regina, I mean, he was only there for the aftermath I've done.
20:44You know what? I'm sick to my back teeth of people treating me like I'm some lazy no-show that
20:50doesn't care about anyone. I care, all right? I care.
20:53We know you care. We know you care. It's just that we were there last time, all right? We saw
20:58the way he was.
21:00Now he pushed people away and turned in on himself. We just want to make sure that don't happen again.
22:13Come on, Cindy, we talked about this.
22:16Forget about them, we've got every right to be together.
22:18I just don't want any awkwardness.
22:21Can't we go to yours?
22:24No, if we're serious about each other, we need to hold our ground, okay?
22:29So trust me, she'll come round.
22:35Didn't anyone ever tell you that snogging on the street's a little bit skanky?
22:40You'd better get yourselves inside before the neighbours start complaining.
22:51Why'd they change your heart?
22:53It's not because of Oscar, if that's what you're thinking.
22:57Just no more hanky-panky in my house, alright?
23:01Try, Lauren.
23:02It's not easy, though, when you're this irresistible.
23:23What's Dad doing?
23:24Huh?
23:25Oh, I don't know, Dad.
23:28But Daddy's friend died last night, so he's, like, probably a bit upset.
23:33What's he doing here?
23:35He's losing it.
23:36Phil!
23:37Bruh, put the lighter down.
23:39Don't do nothing stupid, Phil.
23:40We're all here to help you.
23:42Help.
23:43Help.
23:43Why would I need your help?
23:50Because you just set fire to an armchair in the middle of the square?
23:53Yeah, well, it would be a bit stupid to do it inside, wouldn't it?
23:57Now, who fancies a cup of tea?
24:00Why burn it?
24:00Because that, that is exactly what Nigel would want me to do.
24:10Raymond, son, come here.
24:12Come on, I've got some chocolate cake inside.
24:14Come on.
24:16What were you waiting for, eh?
24:19Come on.
24:20Come on to Mortimeria, come on.
24:27Um, is he okay?
24:31Oh, he's, he's just set fire to a chair in the middle of the square, so had your bets.
24:36Nah.
24:38Nah, you're wrong.
24:41He's gonna be absolutely fine.
24:48Right.
24:49That's that.
24:51I think we did old Nigel proud.
24:53What do you reckon?
24:54Yeah.
24:55I reckon we all deserve a drink.
24:57Do you hear that, Nan?
24:58She's definitely a slater.
25:01You all right?
25:03Yeah.
25:04I'm just thinking about Julie.
25:08I've been a widow for 47 years this summer.
25:12Your great-great-granddad Jimmy died of cancer.
25:15I had a great-great-granddad.
25:17Everyone's got a great-great-granddad.
25:19Yeah, but like, people don't know their names.
25:21Like, they're an actual, real person.
25:23Yeah, you're right.
25:25Great-great-granddads are usually dead and forgotten.
25:29And I'll be dead and forgotten soon enough.
25:32Stop being so miserable.
25:33Plenty of life in you yet.
25:34You don't know that.
25:36Nigel was years younger than me.
25:38And when I pop my clocks, you'll forget about me, just like Jimmy.
25:42No-one's going to forget about you.
25:44I'm going to get you stuffed and stick you at the end of the bar.
25:49Who's getting stuffed, then?
25:50Nan.
25:52Who's the lucky fella?
25:54Cheeky bleeder.
25:56Oh, don't worry, Nan.
25:57I'll make sure no-one stuffs you.
26:00Thank you, darling.
26:01You know you're my favourite, didn't you?
26:03And I'm glad you're home.
26:10Here, did anybody ever see Nigel dance?
26:13Oh, I did.
26:14Once.
26:14He had some moves.
26:16Really?
26:17Listen, he took me to moonwalk to Billie Jean when I was a kid.
26:20Yeah, yeah, you should have seen him circa 1979 in the clubs.
26:25Pogoing like a nutter.
26:27What do you mean?
26:28Yes, I think we'd all like to see what you mean.
26:31Oh, well, I couldn't possibly, not without the right music.
26:33Of course, I'm sure we could find some for you, Grant.
26:36What would you prefer, sex pistols or the class?
26:39Well, you can stop stirring the pot, because if I'm getting up, Billy, so are you.
26:48Hey, you nicked my ID to go and see the jam in ice, didn't you?
26:51He told you that?
26:52Yeah, he told me loads.
26:54He told me everything.
26:57Come on.
26:58Come on, Grant.
27:00Let's dance like night, yeah?
27:02Come on, dance like night.
27:03Dance like night.
27:05Dance like night.
27:07Dance like night.
27:08Dance like night.
27:12Dance like night.
27:16Dance like night.
