00:21I'll see you next time.
00:49Arthur, what do you want in your sandwiches?
00:52Paste or...?
00:52Oh, for God, so much.
00:53I have to stand there.
00:54Look.
00:55Paste.
00:56Paste, please.
00:57Right.
00:59Come on.
01:00Hello, Peek.
01:01Where is she?
01:02Upstairs.
01:03Da-da-da-da!
01:04Have a look at that lot.
01:05Come in the post first thing this morning.
01:07Oh!
01:08Bedroom overlooking the sea.
01:09Hello, TV, jacuzzi, sauna.
01:11If that don't cheer up, nothing will.
01:14What is it?
01:14It's an holiday for Gwen, only she don't know about it yet.
01:17Now, listen, sis, just leave it all spit out, right?
01:19And when she comes down, don't say a word.
01:21Just let her find it.
01:23I'll have to see her face, but I've got to get back.
01:25She will be all right about it, won't she, Pete?
01:28All right about it?
01:29You've got to be joking.
01:30She's going to be thrilled to bed.
01:31I mean, look at it.
01:32Just remember.
01:33Not a word and see how long it takes before the panion drop, right?
01:36Oh, Arthur.
01:36By the way, new potatoes.
01:38First in, Egyptian.
01:39Thanks, Pete.
01:39Arthur.
01:40Let us know what happens, eh?
01:41Yeah.
01:42Oh, well, it all looks very nice, I must say.
01:46Oh, my gosh.
01:47Well, it says they're for two.
01:49Well, who's the other one going?
01:49Oh, Sam.
01:50What's all this, for God's sake?
01:57Claremont Hotel?
01:59Clacton?
02:03We have pleasure in confirming your booking for the week of April the 13th from...
02:08Mrs Louise Beal?
02:10And Miss Michelle Fowler?
02:13Me?
02:14Ah, there he is.
02:15I must be off.
02:16It's a little holiday for you, Mum.
02:18I hope you like it.
02:19Ta-da.
02:19Look, hold on.
02:28Good gracious.
02:29I must be seeing things.
02:31What?
02:31Well, it's not even half past eight yet.
02:34What?
02:34Well, you were up early.
02:36What's got into you?
02:38Yeah, well, I want to see Den, don't I?
02:39He's going out today.
02:40I've got to try and get me wages off him.
02:41I hope he hasn't left yet.
02:43You haven't seen him, have you?
02:43No.
02:45Oh, good morning, Doctor.
02:47And I need some cash for this golden circle thing.
02:50I bet I might try and do a lunchtime at the pub.
02:53Good grief.
02:54You're up early.
02:55Something wrong?
02:56All right, all right.
02:56Don't get up that late, you know.
02:58You do?
03:05What's the matter?
03:07Nothing.
03:09Oh, come on, Mum.
03:11Look, it says it's Bingo only down the road.
03:14Bingo?
03:14What fun would that be all on me own?
03:16Well, you'd have Michelle.
03:18I mean, it's years since you've had holiday.
03:20We felt you deserved one.
03:22Who's to pay for it, may I ask?
03:23Pete and Kathy and Arthur and me.
03:25Arthur and you?
03:26You haven't got two pennies to rub together.
03:28Come off it.
03:29You mean Pete's paying, don't you?
03:31No, Arthur's going to pay him back.
03:33Well, if I was him, I'd ask for a refund double quick.
03:36I don't like to see Pete out of pocket for nothing.
03:39It won't be for nothing.
03:41Oh, yes, it will, because I'm not going.
03:43Thanks for the offer, but I'm sorry, no.
03:48Claremont Hotel indeed.
03:50The travel agent said it was ever such a nice place.
03:53I don't listen to what no manby-pamby travel agent says.
03:58No-one I know's ever been there, have they?
04:00No!
04:01I don't want no holiday at the moment, Pauline.
04:04And when I do, I choose me home, thank you very much.
04:07I'm not me doted yet, you know.
04:10Next thing I know, you'll be shipping me off to some bleeding old folks home.
04:17Mum, how could you?
04:20Well, someone had to go with their love and it couldn't be me.
04:23But without even asking me.
04:25I mean, great, you know, suddenly I'm supposed to spend my Easter holidays
04:28in Clapton with me Gran.
04:30I mean, that's the last thing I want to do, innit?
04:32Shh!
04:32She'll hear you.
04:34Well, why's it got to be me, eh?
04:35I mean, why can't it be that slob instead?
04:37I mean, it'd have to have school by then.
04:38Couldn't be me, Shell.
04:39She's sharing a bedroom.
04:40Couldn't be proper.
04:41Yeah, well, I can't go either, because I've got commitments with me jobs and that.
04:44Yeah, well, it doesn't seem like she's going at all now, does it?
04:46So just let's drop the subject, shall we?
04:48And you two get off to school, you'll be late.
04:51Here, Michelle, don't ever you let me hear you speak like that in front of Gran again.
04:54Do you understand?
04:55As far as she's concerned, you'd love to go.
04:57I'm not having her feelings hurt.
05:00Don't be beastly to Gran, Michelle.
05:02Oh, you?
05:03You're just Mum's little pet, isn't ya?
05:10Hello.
05:11I want to speak to Detective Sergeant Rich, please.
05:14It's Dr Legg.
05:16Oi!
05:17I know you're flaming, don't.
05:19Here, I'll have that one.
05:21Tom, I haven't got a spare couple of fags at Uncle Pete.
05:24No, I haven't.
05:26Cheers.
05:27Here, wait a minute.
05:28How's your gran take it, then?
05:30What?
05:31About her holiday.
05:32Pleased, was she?
05:33Oh, yeah, really pleased.
05:35Like, when I'm in the brochures back down on the table and doing her nut with Mum.
05:38She was pleased, all right.
05:42Bloody hell.
05:45That's all right, love.
05:46Nothing personal.
05:47Just the human race in general.
05:57You who's The Water?
06:02Like, you're good at the hotel.
06:03Give us an idea.
06:06I was just a terrible call.
06:07Of course, I was going to camp, and I was happy to be all for a person.
06:09I can't do this.
06:11I can't do this.
06:12I can't.
06:12I can't do this.
06:12I can't do this.
06:14I can do this.
06:14I can't do this.
06:18Hello.
06:18I can't do this.
06:34What?
06:37What?
06:38What?
06:39What?
06:39Why not?
06:39Why not?
06:40Why not?
06:40He's just come in.
06:41Look, Ali, you're offering him the chance to make some money.
06:44He'll be glad.
06:45Here.
06:46I see the pub got a beer delivery this morning.
06:47Psych must be over.
06:49Yeah?
06:52Pete, have you heard of this thing called the Golden Circle?
06:55No.
06:56Of course, you've been bound to the pub, haven't you?
06:58Not that you've been missing much.
07:00No beer for a week and Denny going barmy.
07:02It's one of these pyramid things.
07:04Sue and I joined through my brother and a mate of his made 500 quid from it.
07:08What do you want about?
07:09This Golden Circle thing, I said.
07:11What is it?
07:11We wondered if you and Cathy would like to join.
07:13What is it, some sort of gambling?
07:14Nah, listen, I'll try it.
07:15So I can't afford to lose money, mate.
07:16What happens is, you pay me ten quid, right, and I'll silly this list of names, you see.
07:21So then you've got to find two other people.
07:23Ethel, there's an idea.
07:24There's an idea.
07:27Here?
07:28There's an idea.
07:33You're waiting for one, Billy.
07:34What are you, Victoria?
07:34Here?
07:38Who's going to be, Victoria?
07:39Who's going to be there?
07:39Who's going to be, Victoria?
07:42Who's going to be there?
07:53Who's going to be, Victoria?
08:22BIRDS CHIRP
08:26BIRDS CHIRP
08:27BIRDS CHIRP
08:31BIRDS CHIRP
08:32BIRDS CHIRP
08:37The relief of mafeking.
08:39So what?
08:40Ah, never mind. It's great to have it back again.
08:44Say that again. Come on, what are we waiting for?
08:48BIRDS CHIRP
08:51Mmm. That's better.
08:53Amazing how you miss it, innit?
08:55I shouldn't be having it at all, really.
08:57What's up? Stomach trouble?
08:58Money troubles, mate. Blimey, it's come to something, innit,
09:00when you've got to feel guilty about a pint of beer at dinner time.
09:03Ah, money problems. There's always ways round them.
09:06Oh, no, there bloody isn't, cos if there was, I'd know about it.
09:09All right, keep your hair on.
09:10What I'll get from unemployment...
09:12Well, you want to do your best for your kids, don't you? And you can't.
09:14I mean, it's not even enough to live on.
09:15You want to claim supplementary benefit, mate.
09:17Oh, don't talk to me about all that. It's all right for you two.
09:20You ain't got families.
09:21Who says I haven't?
09:22Have you, then?
09:24Yeah.
09:26Wife and two kids.
09:27Yeah?
09:28Yeah, why?
09:29Yeah, just round the corner.
09:31Well, I'm blown.
09:32And I always thought you were a single man.
09:35Yeah, well, don't get too excited.
09:38We're getting divorced.
09:39Look, um, I've got one or two bits of business.
09:42I'll leave you two to have a good old chat about family life and all that.
09:45Not my scene, I'm afraid.
09:47Keep single. Look after number one.
09:49That's my motto.
09:50You're doing the right thing getting a divorce, eh, mate?
09:52Very sensible.
09:53See you in a minute.
09:56You know, he's a good worker, but he gets it right up my nose.
10:00He don't know much about what life's all about, do he?
10:03I'm like a two-year-old.
10:05He needs a few worries like you and me.
10:07Or are we just jealous?
10:09Oh, I reckon he's one of them.
10:10Hello, Mum.
10:11What can I get you?
10:13I'll get me home, thank you very much.
10:15Me usual, please, Lofty.
10:17And what do you think about your holiday in Clacklaw?
10:18Please, don't you?
10:24I don't know.
10:51That's not as funny as all that, I'm sure, so you can cut out the giggling.
10:56Now, five kiddies, like I said, there's nothing wrong in that, I'm sure, I'm a maniac, oh, want
11:08me to read your hand here, come on then, don't be shy.
11:12You know, I've been looking at you and thinking, you want to be a bit careful with your takings,
11:16love, easy come, easy go, know what I mean, a lot of funny people about.
11:20I guess you mean, they'll have to take me with them, look, I've got my purse tied to
11:25my blooming waist.
11:27Yeah, well, do us a favour, get it all in the bank quick, eh?
11:30Bank, I ain't got no bank.
11:32I just don't like to see an old lady put herself at risk, that's all.
11:35Well, that's very nice of you, but don't you worry dear, I've got a safe place all right
11:40now.
11:40Do you want me to read your palm or don't you?
11:44Go on then.
11:45Well, you'll have to cross my palm with money, 60p please.
11:59Oh, you're healthy.
12:20I'll get it for you, there you go.
12:22Excuse me.
12:32£6.59 please.
12:47£6.59.
12:4860, 70, 80, 90, 7, 8, 9, 10.
12:53Thanks.
12:55Give me your bag, yeah?
12:56I'll do it.
13:04Do you want your hat?
13:06It's for him, is it?
13:08Yeah.
13:08Yeah.
13:09It's bigger than he is.
13:10She.
13:10It's a girl.
13:12Oh, yeah.
13:13Yeah, you can tell when you look.
13:14Ah, she's really pretty.
13:16Look, Said.
13:23Yeah.
13:23Now what have I done wrong?
13:27Nothing.
13:28Oh, come on.
13:30Everything's awful, you know.
13:31There are some funny people about, too.
13:34Sometimes.
13:35I just feel I'm never going to understand what people around here want, you know?
13:39Yeah.
13:42Not enough mustard, love.
13:43And plenty of bit of tomato.
13:44Are you okay?
13:45Yeah.
13:46Then give me me wages early, so...
13:48Here are.
13:49Ten quid.
13:50Right.
13:50And here you are.
13:51You know what to do.
13:52You send a tenner off to the name at the top here, cross it off, find two other people...
13:56Yeah, yeah.
13:56I know how it works.
13:57Look, I've got to get back, Ali.
13:58I'm supposed to be working behind the bar, mate.
13:59Right.
13:59That's one sold at any rate.
14:02Great.
14:05Yes?
14:06Put the Tina Dolder, please.
14:08Right.
14:09And what did he have to say?
14:10Said he'd probably buy one.
14:12He didn't commit himself, I know.
14:15Yeah.
14:15Now, darling.
14:17Hang on, love.
14:18You're scolding me if you're not careful.
14:20Let me help you.
14:21Where do you want to go?
14:22No.
14:23You should have brought the pram in.
14:25That would have been much easier.
14:28Okay.
14:29I'm sorry.
14:31Good job, mate.
14:32How old are you?
14:33Two months.
14:35Yeah, well, she was only five pounds when she was born, so she's a bit small.
14:43Is she?
14:44I don't know.
14:45Quite this old gal I had, aren't we?
14:47You know me, lad.
14:48Hmm.
14:50Well, I'm tempted, Lofty.
14:52Very tempted.
14:54I'll probably have one, but I'd better check with Pete first.
14:56Yeah, well, don't forget to tell him about this friend of ours.
14:58He's made 500 quid out of it.
15:00500 quid?
15:01How do you manage that?
15:02Because it's like a chain, Ethel.
15:05Oh, I see.
15:06Oh, I'm all over muddle.
15:07In any case, I can't afford to pay out 20 quid.
15:11No, you don't have to.
15:12It's like I said, you send off two lists and you get it straight back again.
15:15Two lists?
15:15I thought it was only one.
15:17No, two.
15:18Well, that means I've got to pay out 40 quid.
15:21What?
15:22Who are these people at the top of these lists?
15:25Blimey, they must be coining it in.
15:28No, everybody gets to beat up, Ethel.
15:30Like, gradually, your name moves out.
15:31And when it gets there, you're in the money.
15:33Sounds a bit dodgy to me.
15:35Oh, I don't know.
15:37This friend of his made a thousand pounds out of it, apparently.
15:41500.
15:42Wow.
15:43What would you do with 500 pounds, Ethel?
15:45Oh, I'd go abroad like a shot.
15:48It's a very funny thing, but I've never ever been abroad in spite of having this very,
15:54very long travel.
15:55Oh, that's it, Ethel.
15:57Listen.
15:57Here.
15:58I'd like to go to Holland and see the balls.
16:00Oh, look.
16:01Give us your hand.
16:01Listen a minute.
16:02Right.
16:03I can see it all.
16:04You join the golden circle, right?
16:06And then after a bit, the money starts rolling in.
16:08You pack your bags and away you go.
16:10France, Holland, Spain, anywhere you want.
16:13It's all, um...
16:14Here.
16:14Yeah.
16:15Right.
16:16You see, you can't really refuse, Ethel, because it's written in your palm.
16:21Well, I'll have to owe you the ten quid, Lofty.
16:23I'm skint.
16:25Skint.
16:26I've seen her coining it in the market.
16:35Still wearing it, I see.
16:37Can I take a look at it, do you think?
16:40What, this?
16:41That's right.
16:43Could I?
16:49German Luftwaffe, innit?
16:50Yeah.
16:51Yeah, I think so.
16:52Had it long, have you?
16:53No, I just bought it.
16:54Look, what's the problem?
16:56Eh?
16:57There's no problem.
16:59Where'd you get it from, exactly?
17:00I bought it.
17:01Oh, you bought it?
17:03Where?
17:03Yeah.
17:03Just from a young lad.
17:05I see.
17:07And which young lad would that be?
17:09Look, I only paid a couple of quid for it.
17:10Who, Lofty?
17:14I bought it from Mark Fowler.
17:17Mark Fowler?
17:19Are you sure about that?
17:21Yeah.
17:22You'd better be telling the truth, Lofty.
17:25Because I'll be checking.
17:28Oh.
17:30You don't want to go around wearing this sort of thing.
17:33It might give people the wrong idea of that one.
17:37It's better if I hang on to it, really.
17:46Hey, he's just nicked me badge.
17:48What, that German thing?
17:49Yeah.
17:50What's he on about?
17:51I bet it's something to do with Reg.
17:52Oh, perhaps it's a clue.
17:54Perhaps Reg was murdered by a German.
17:56Perhaps it was something to do.
17:59Here.
18:00Where'd you get it from?
18:34She was adamant then, was she?
18:36Yeah, no way is she going to Clacton for holidays.
18:38That's more money down the drain.
18:40Would it help if I came round and had a word with her?
18:42Oh, I doubt it.
18:44Oh, cheer up, Pauline.
18:45You ought to take more rest in your condition.
18:47Well, it's just been one of them days, that's all.
18:50I mean, first of all, there's Gran and Michelle in her mood over the holidays.
18:53Then that Sue come in trying to sell me some stupid lucky dip.
18:57And when I said no, she got the ant.
18:59And then a minute ago, Michelle come in with this.
19:03It's from the school.
19:05Oh, God.
19:05She in trouble?
19:06No, not her.
19:07It's Mark, of course.
19:09What do they want to see you about?
19:10Oh, God knows.
19:12Arthur's going to go spare.
19:14I mean, I just can't talk to Mark these days.
19:16He's like a stranger.
19:18Excuse me.
19:20You got a phone?
19:21Uh, yes, love.
19:22It's over there.
19:23I mean, it's not like me or Arthur, that's for sure.
19:27Well, Pete thinks he's a bit like him.
19:29Oh, yeah.
19:30Yeah, Pete was a bit wild.
19:31Oh, I'm good looking.
19:33Oh, yeah, love.
19:33Let's help you.
19:34Cool you are, laden, aren't you?
19:37Come on.
19:38Come on.
19:39Well, you'll have to mind your head.
19:40Yes.
19:41A bit wobbly.
19:42Premature, say.
19:43Right.
19:43Oh, come on.
19:44Oh, come on.
19:47Well, do you know, I'm old enough to be this one's grandmother.
19:50Well, I'll be.
19:51Ian, have a few months and that'll be you.
19:53Oh, no.
19:54Hello?
19:55Hello?
19:57Oh, hang on.
20:00Oh, yeah, can I speak to Mrs. Weston, please?
20:04Yeah, all right.
20:05Yeah, can I speak to Mrs. Weston, please?
20:09Oh, but it is urgent.
20:11I've got to get in touch with her.
20:38Come on, let me do them on you.
20:40Oh, leave it out, Sharon.
20:42Go on.
20:42What's your favourite room?
20:43Hey, look, get off.
20:45Look.
20:46Don't you like it?
20:47Yeah, on you, yeah.
20:48Look, there is.
20:50You're not gonna like this.
20:52Mark.
20:53I've got something for you.
20:54tell ya. Well, you're in trouble, you are. Yeah? Yeah, they gave me a note in school
21:02for Mum and Dad, all about you. What are you giggling at? Nothing. Well, I suppose no-one
21:07ever gets in trouble at your school. Never. Well, we'll be age young ladies, we are. She's
21:11lucky. I can't remember. I can't. Come on. I've given it to Mum. Given it to Mum? That's
21:20who it was addressed to. What, without even reading it first? Look, I don't read other
21:23people's letters. Oh, thanks a lot, Shel. Nice one. Look, it's not my fault if you ain't
21:27at school enough to give me your notes. Anyway, it could have been about me, about my options
21:31or something. Yeah, well, cheers anyway. I'll do the same for you one day. Don't know how
21:35I'll put up with you. Can I get anything else for you? Well, I'm afraid you can't sit there.
21:44I need all my tables for my customers.
21:55Well, she's been there over an hour with one cup of tea. I don't have this crap turned
21:59into a place for weirdos. I mean, you've really got to watch that sort of thing these days.
22:13Hello, Mum. Hello, Arthur.
22:18Horny looked very strained this morning, Arthur.
22:21Did she?
22:22Thought you would have noticed.
22:24Hmm.
22:25No joke having a baby late in life.
22:29Thought he isn't that late.
22:30Look, I've seen it pull a woman right down. You should have thought of that beforehand.
22:37Hot meal to come home to. That's what she needs. Baggers and mash. That's what I'm making.
22:46Great.
22:47I don't expect any help. Someone's got to look after her.
22:54Beg pardon?
22:55I said, have you thought any more about your holiday in Crackton?
23:02Shhh. Come on. It's OK. It's all right.
23:08Oh, come on. Whoever you are.
23:13Come on.
23:14It's all right. We're getting soon.
23:22Let's have our tea out here, should we?
23:26Well, why not?
23:28It's nice out here, isn't it?
23:31In the garden, trees, in the birds.
23:35Well, it's just like the country world, isn't it, eh?
23:39Oh, dear.
23:42Shh, shh, shh, shh.
23:44I don't know. I know.
23:47Oh, thanks, Mum.
23:48No, you stay sitting, girl. I'm doing it all tonight. You just relax.
23:55Well, what's he been up to, Arthur? What's it all about, eh?
23:58Come on, Michelle. It's on the table.
24:03Mark!
24:04I don't know what it's all about, love, but I intend to find out. Where is he?
24:09I don't think he's come in yet.
24:10Well, where's he got to, then? Hiding, I suppose, because of that letter.
24:13Oh, I'll put his tea back in the oven.
24:17I knew it. I knew he was in trouble. What did I tell you?
24:22Look, Mum, we don't know what it's about yet, so let's not jump to conclusions, eh?
24:26What did I tell you? All them bruises and that, and the police coming round.
24:30That was nothing to do with Mark. That was about Reg Cox. They've asked everybody.
24:35Yeah, but he's got a record.
24:36A record? That's kid stuff mucking about on building sites.
24:40You're talking about him as though he's a criminal.
24:43All I'm saying is he needs watching. That's all, a boy like him at his age.
24:47I've seen it before, Pauline.
24:50Them cousins of mine in Stepney, they was just the same.
24:52At a certain point, they could have gone one way or the other.
24:55Straight or crooked and...
24:57All right, Mum, all right, you've made your point.
24:59Perhaps I had been too soft on him.
25:01No-one's saying that, Arthur.
25:02We don't know what it's about yet. It might be nothing bad.
25:05Oh, well, I've never known a school asked you up to tell you something nice.
25:26Hey, you!
25:28Yeah?
25:28You don't live there, do you?
25:29Yeah.
25:45Oh, God, if only I'd known I could have got in ages ago.
25:49Yeah.
25:49Well, I've been waiting for someone to come back for hours.
25:52Yes, I had to feed her in there, in front of everybody.
25:56Oh, it was awful.
25:58I forgot my key, see.
26:00Well, I've got my room key, but I forgot I needed them both.
26:03So when I realised, I phoned Mrs Weston up, but I couldn't get in touch with her.
26:07So then I got really scared.
26:09Well, not for me, but for Annie.
26:11I mean, it doesn't do to be out too long, especially when they was premature.
26:14And I got to thinking I might have to spend...
26:16Hey, hey, hey, hey, hang on.
26:17Hold it a minute.
26:18Are you saying you've moved in upstairs?
26:21Yeah, this morning.
26:22But then I got locked out.
26:24What's your name, by the way?
26:26Mary.
26:28This is Annie.
26:29And I'm Annie.
26:30This is Sue.
26:32Well, hurry up, Annie.
26:33Let's get these things inside.
26:36And that one.
26:38All right.
26:41Any news yet?
26:47There wouldn't be, would there?
26:48What do you expect?
26:50I suppose they told you all about it when they gave you the room.
26:54About what?
26:54Come on, Sue.
26:55Let's get inside.
27:00Oh, here we are, bubby.
27:04Home sweet home.
27:09Where have you been, if you don't mind me asking?
27:11Tea was an hour ago.
27:12Don't worry, Gwen.
27:13I'll get me home.
27:14Oh, no, you won't.
27:15I want to talk to you about this.
27:16Yeah, well, I heard about it.
27:23Mark.
27:24Well, what's the asshole?
27:26I mean, I'll have left by Easter anyway, so what's the point in bothering?
27:30It's a waste of time.
27:32Look, I don't like your attitude.
27:34Now, you sit down and tell us what this letter's all about, right?
27:37You might as well tell him, Mark.
27:39Cooksey's going to go down to the school and hear all about it anyway.
27:42But what is it?
27:43Is it something you've done all your work or what?
27:47I'll get it.
27:48Expecting someone?
27:49No.
27:50Are you okay?
27:51Yes.
27:53It's the police.
27:56Evening, Mrs. Beal.
27:57Mr. and Mrs. Fowler.
27:59I wonder if I could have a word with Mark.
28:02About this.
28:21I wonder if I could have a word with Mark.
28:22I wonder if I could have a word with Mark.
28:22I wonder if I could have a word with Mark.
28:22I wonder if I could have a word with Mark.
28:22I wonder if I could have a word with Mark.
28:23I wonder if I could have a word with Mark.
28:23I wonder if I could have a word with Mark.
28:23I wonder if I could have a word with Mark.
28:24I wonder if I could have a word with Mark.
28:26I wonder if I could have a word with Mark.
