00:30Giving Mummy a break. I had you, Dan, as more of a papoose kind of a man.
00:37Some men struggle while others take to fatherhood like a fish to water. Which one are you?
00:41It's not easy.
00:43Nothing of meaning ever is. But, um, it must feel good to have a nice little holiday.
00:48It's paternity leave, not a holiday.
00:50Yes, of course. But while some sleep, the competition wakes up.
00:54I'm sorry?
00:56Something my dad used to say to me.
00:58I'm not sleeping.
01:00No. And neither is your colleague, Richard. It's fair to say, he is shining in your absence.
01:05This time off, I'm entitled to it. It doesn't mean that I'm not looking forward to getting back to work.
01:10Entitled. The buzzword of a whole generation. And snowflake.
01:15I'm not snowflake or entitled.
01:17No, of course you're not. Labels always apply to someone else, don't they?
01:20But you do have choices, though, Jacob.
01:23You get back to work, or you stay at home, wondering which teat is best to put your baby on.
01:37Do we have to go in?
01:38I don't want to go anywhere.
01:38But, Mum, but you're frightened of. It's not been here hundreds of times.
01:43Well, it just feels a bit different, hasn't it?
01:44I don't want to go anywhere.
01:45I don't want to go anywhere.
01:46I don't want to go anywhere.
02:14Bye.
02:14The main thing is, you're free to get on with your lives again.
02:17Hm. What life?
02:20Take a seat. I'll be along for your order. Today, it's on the house.
02:26You don't have to do that.
02:27I want to.
02:34You okay, sweetheart?
02:36Yeah, it just feels like people are looking at me.
02:38No, they're not.
02:39You don't even feel. Just let them.
02:41Yeah? Cos this, this is what being innocent looks like.
02:45What it looks like doesn't matter.
02:47People are going to think I'm a criminal for a very long time.
02:50That's just me. Nobody else.
02:52Are you joking me?
02:53After what you did in that courtroom, standing up there, speaking out.
02:57People, that's what heroes do.
02:59I could not be more proud of you.
03:01Well, they won't feel that much of an hero if that disciplinary hearing doesn't go on my way.
03:05I'd have to come and work for you in the salon.
03:07Oh, yeah. We rushed down our feet at the moment.
03:10Good to be busy, isn't it?
03:11Which is why, something lined up for you, you know.
03:16What can I get you?
03:2257. Impressive.
03:24I was aiming for 20 and, er, the other times I really didn't mean to miss the board.
03:30You've also got other things on your mind.
03:32Any word on Paddy's disciplinary hearing?
03:34Oh, not yet.
03:36I can't stop thinking about it.
03:38What if it doesn't go his way?
03:40Vanessa, the most important thing is that all three of them walked out of the courtroom.
03:45Everything he's been through, though, and it hasn't ended yet.
03:48He's still suspended from the surgery.
03:51It could have been so much worse.
03:52It won't happen overnight.
03:53But with friends like you and Rona by his side, good, loyal friends, that'll be so much easier.
04:00Are you sure she doesn't want to be more than just friends?
04:03Don't.
04:05Is it just me, or does every new mum leave stuff behind?
04:08Oh, as long as it's not the baby.
04:09Isn't she beautiful?
04:12Yeah, she has her moments.
04:14At that age, you need to savour every moment.
04:16It still mystifies me why so many fathers can't wait to go back to work.
04:20Well, probably, because work is easier.
04:23And Jacob's obviously at the front of that queue.
04:25Is he?
04:27Sorry, has he said something?
04:29Oh, probably nothing you don't know already.
04:30But to quote, I'm entitled to time off, that doesn't mean I'm not looking forward to getting back to work.
04:36You are a very understanding wife.
04:38Good for you.
04:39Not so sure I would be.
04:49So when were you going to tell your silly little housewife that you can't wait to get back to work?
04:54Sorry?
04:55What are you talking about?
04:56Why are you calling yourself that?
04:57Because that's what I am, isn't it?
04:59Happy to stay at home and do all the parents' stuff while you can't wait to escape back to the
05:03hospital?
05:03Sarah?
05:04Do you know what?
05:04I don't know what's worse.
05:05Finding out that you're so miserable or finding out from someone else.
05:07Maybe we should talk about this later.
05:09Who exactly?
05:10Your boss, Jacob.
05:11Dr. Todd.
05:13And yeah, we will talk about this later.
05:20Wedding bells.
05:22Hey, if you ever decide to change the name of Take a Vow, you could call it that.
05:28Because?
05:29Bell works led to.
05:32You could have that.
05:33Thank you, Jimmy.
05:41Business or pleasure?
05:43What are you doing here?
05:45Someone's jumpy today.
05:46Yeah, well, you crept up on me.
05:48In answer to your question, pleasure.
05:50I'm just looking for availability.
05:51Okay.
05:52And we could always pay and make sure someone has availability.
05:57It's your answer to everything, isn't it?
05:58Money.
05:59Hey, this is our wedding day.
06:00I want you to have the best day possible.
06:02And in answer to your question, no.
06:04It's not always about money.
06:06Hey, are you still on for our meeting there?
06:09Yeah.
06:10Yeah, why wouldn't I be?
06:12Well, I don't want to say you've taken your eye off the ball recently, but...
06:14Well, maybe a dingle ball.
06:16Isn't that interesting?
06:17I'll be there and I haven't taken my eye off anything.
06:21Oh, speak of the devil.
06:24Hey, I've got one for you.
06:26What do you think of wedding bells?
06:31They just leave a smell wherever they go, don't they?
06:35Chow.
06:41Got it framed?
06:43Yeah.
06:43Well, the kids helped me choose that.
06:45I'll be honest, I'm not 100% sure what I'm looking at there,
06:49but I have never been more excited about anything in my entire life.
06:53Almost as excited as the kids.
06:55They're counting down the days.
07:01I'm sorry.
07:01Why have you brought me here?
07:03Liam said he needed help.
07:04And you're not doing anything else, are you?
07:06Welcome.
07:08You join me at a time when the land is offering up its most precious gifts.
07:14Look at the asparagus.
07:16Nothing says early summer more than these magnificent spears of deliciousness.
07:21You can almost hear them singing in the soil.
07:24I can't hear anything.
07:26And we don't only have the king of vegetables, we've also got spring onions,
07:29a glut of radishes, almost an embarrassment of rhubarb.
07:33I'm sure that it looks like you're going to be busy.
07:35Whoopie doop.
07:36I'll leave you to it.
07:36Got way too hard.
07:44Oi.
07:46I'm sorry.
07:46I was just on my way to the...
07:47Do what you want to me, but don't you dare bring my family into it.
07:50I think you're going to have to elaborate.
07:52I'm not quite sure what you're referring to.
07:53Oh, I think you do.
07:55Making out that I don't want to be at home.
07:57That Layla's doing my head in.
07:58That I can't wait to get back to work.
08:00I'm not quite sure you're ready to go back to work.
08:02Are you actually getting enough sleep?
08:04Seriously, what is wrong with you?
08:05And I could ask you the same question, Jacob.
08:07Honestly, if you're struggling, perhaps you need to talk to someone.
08:10I'm talking to you.
08:11Well, you're going to have to hit the pause button, because nature calls.
08:22I can't do this.
08:24I'm sorry.
08:25I know I said I could, but I can't.
08:27It's just too much, all right?
08:29I don't want to let you down, but I'm not...
08:30Hey, hey, hey, slow down.
08:32Jo has told the kids I'm pregnant.
08:34And now it's all they're talking about.
08:36They think they've got this whole home farm family life stretching in front of them.
08:39It doesn't even exist.
08:41Okay.
08:42But the money you're going to get from Jo...
08:44They'll get a better one.
08:45Moira, do you think it's that easy?
08:47You've no idea how close they are to him now.
08:50Because they don't know who he is and what he is.
08:52He's a different person with us, okay?
08:54He is.
08:55I know you don't get it, you won't believe it, but it's true.
08:58And this isn't about the money.
08:59We both knew this wasn't going to be easy.
09:01And we're just getting started.
09:03No, I'm just getting started.
09:05I'm the one who's having to pretend and I can't do it.
09:18Wrong door.
09:19I'm not letting this go.
09:20No way.
09:21Oh, no.
09:22What are you going to do?
09:22Stamp your feet some more?
09:24Spit your dummy out?
09:25I'm sure there's a few of those lying round at home.
09:28You are a bully.
09:29Oh, that old chestnut again.
09:31You get off on it.
09:32Punch him down like you're on some power trip or something.
09:35And shall I tell you what you are?
09:36You are a weak, maladjusted young man with a huge chip on his shoulder
09:39who clearly doesn't like having a woman as his boss.
09:41That is not true.
09:42And I don't want to throw any labels around to call you a misogynist,
09:45but if the women-hating cap fits...
09:46Are you serious?
09:47I don't hate women, I just hate you!
09:51What the hell are you doing?
10:10I just needed to speak to her.
10:11So you wait outside.
10:13You don't just barge into women's spaces.
10:17Honestly, I'm fine.
10:18It's fine.
10:18I wasn't scared.
10:20You need to get out.
10:22Now!
10:22Vanessa, I really wasn't trying to scare her.
10:24Don't make me have to tell you again.
10:32Thank God the cavalry arrived.
10:35I can't believe that just happened.
10:36Oh, it's nothing.
10:37It was a big misunderstanding.
10:38He just got himself a bit riled up.
10:40Yeah, but it's not for the first time, is it?
10:42I need to have words with him.
10:43No, no, no, no, no.
10:44It's nothing I can't do with myself.
10:45Yeah, but you shouldn't have to.
10:47Who knows what would have happened if I didn't have walked in.
10:49No, but you did.
10:49And it's over now.
10:51He's a new father.
10:52He's probably all over the place.
10:53I know, but that's...
10:54It's no excuse.
10:56They're a young family.
10:58It's not easy.
10:59But if he's making things even harder...
11:02Sometimes you have to tread carefully.
11:04No point throwing any petrol on the flames.
11:07He really doesn't have a clue how lucky he is to have a boss like you.
11:16If you've already made a decision, there's little that I can say to change your mind.
11:22But you're going to try anyway.
11:24When it all does get too much for you, and deep down you know it will,
11:30how easy do you think he's going to make it for you to walk away?
11:35But then it'll be too late, because he will never let you leave with his child.
11:40And he will fight you in court with everything that he's got,
11:44and things you don't even know he's got, and you won't be able to fight.
11:50How did I even get here?
11:53No, what you should still be asking yourself is,
11:56how will I ever get away from here?
11:58And you already know the answer.
12:01And this might not be about money, Dawn,
12:03but if you go to war with him,
12:05you're going to need all the weapons you could lay your hands on,
12:08and they don't come cheap.
12:10Laura, I know you just want to stick the knife in him.
12:13But it won't be blood on your hands, it'll be money in the bank.
12:17I swear to God, this isn't about that.
12:20I don't need a cut, however big it is.
12:22I don't need anything from that man.
12:25And you're not doing this for me.
12:27You're not even doing it for yourself.
12:28You are doing it for your kids.
12:32You are a lot stronger than you think, Dawn.
12:35You just need to fight.
12:37I'm sick of fighting Moira.
12:40I've done it my whole life.
12:42Then we can all help you.
12:44You just need to let us help you.
12:52I owe you a pint.
12:53A hard day's work always deserves a reward.
12:56I don't care if I never see a radish again.
12:59Oh, come off it.
13:00You loved every minute.
13:01I think you should thank your son for volunteering.
13:03Yeah, Paddy.
13:03And will there be anybody else in the room?
13:06Right.
13:07And the decision, will that be there and then, or will they have to wait?
13:11Vet board.
13:12And how long does that take, usually?
13:15OK.
13:16No, it's fine.
13:17I probably won't sleep tonight, but...
13:19All right, I'll see you tomorrow.
13:21Bye-bye.
13:23Flippin' heck.
13:24Look at you two.
13:25The allotment.
13:26Never mind the allotment.
13:27What were they about?
13:28Sounds serious.
13:29Disciplinary hearing.
13:30It's tomorrow.
13:31Well, better sooner rather than later, I suppose.
13:34Pint, pint.
13:34Yes, please.
13:35Yeah, go on then.
13:37Look, Paddy.
13:39I know it's, like, really important.
13:41Really important?
13:42It's everything.
13:42If I'm not a vet, I don't know what I am.
13:44Yeah, but the main thing is you're not in prison.
13:47If I don't get my job back tomorrow, therefore, my life, I might as well be in prison.
13:50Once they come to the senses, they'll give you your job back in a heartbeat.
13:54Yeah.
13:55Well, hopefully, there's a tiny little chink of light right at the very end of the tunnel.
13:59I think we're already out of the tunnel, Paddy.
14:01You should have realised it.
14:05Thanks, mate.
14:12Vanessa.
14:14Look, I swore I wouldn't say anything.
14:16Look, about before.
14:17What the hell were you doing?
14:18Whatever you think you know.
14:20I know that you walked into the ladies' toilet making a woman feel very uncomfortable.
14:24I don't want to say frightened.
14:26Frightened?
14:27Are you serious?
14:28Did she even tell you why I was in there?
14:30Because you clearly have a problem with a female boss.
14:33There's some weird power dynamic going on with you.
14:35No, she's been telling Sarah that I'm desperate to get back to work.
14:38That I pretty much hated being a dad.
14:40Just all lies.
14:41I only see one liar, and it isn't your boss.
14:44No, but she is the liar.
14:45She is the one with the problem.
14:47What, so you decided to barge into the women's toilet and attack her?
14:50I didn't attack her.
14:52Is that what she said?
14:53Just stay away from her.
14:54Do you hear me?
14:55Because if I have to, I will make sure there'll be real consequences.
14:58Vanessa, you don't...
15:00Just stop!
15:02I hate saying this, Jacob, but honestly, your mother would be ashamed of you.
15:09Sorry, what is going on?
15:10Let him tell you.
15:16What was all that about?
15:20It's nothing.
15:21Jacob, that was not nothing.
15:24Fine, I'll go ask for a mess myself then, shall I?
15:27It's Dr. Todd.
15:32She's been bullying me.
15:38It's a new door, it's a new...
15:42What's up?
15:43What's wrong?
15:44Nothing, nothing.
15:45I'm fine.
15:45It's my laptop playing up.
15:47It's technology.
15:48You know what I'm like.
15:49Yes, I do know what you're like.
15:50Because you're my wife.
15:51And I know there's nothing wrong with your laptop.
15:53Honestly, babe, it's not important.
15:55Like, after everything you've been through, look, now you're on the other side.
16:00I don't want you worrying about me.
16:02Randy, are you serious?
16:05And also, I can't solve the problem if I don't know what the problem is.
16:09Yeah, well, some things can't be solved.
16:13I thought you were rushed off your feet.
16:19Oh.
16:21It's been like this for ages.
16:24I've had no bookings, like, no walkings.
16:27With everything that's been going on, my head just wanted the right place to fix it.
16:31It's okay.
16:31No, it's not okay, because I don't know what I've done wrong.
16:34Everyone just wants to the old singing, old dancing, fancy places in town.
16:38Hang on.
16:39Is this anything to do with me?
16:41What I've done?
16:42People knowing that you're married to me.
16:44No, no, no, no, come on.
16:46Now you're overthinking things.
16:49I don't know what I'm going to do.
16:53It's going to be all right.
16:55I know things probably look badder than all.
16:57No, it is bad.
16:58No, actually, do you know what it's worth?
16:59It's horrific.
17:01I've got me overheads, the rent, and...
17:05I don't think I'm going to survive.
17:17It's a starting point.
17:18So what are you saying, Belle?
17:19It's a good idea, but it's not good enough?
17:21Surely you agree if we're changing the tagline of the whole business,
17:23we speak to professionals.
17:24Am I not a professional?
17:26No, Dawn, I'm sorry, but you're not.
17:27I mean, you bring other great stuff to the company.
17:31Okay, all right.
17:33Refreshments?
17:34No, I'm going to take this.
17:36Hi.
17:38Thanks so much for calling me back.
17:41If only that annoying bell would stop ringing.
17:45I just feel like I'm banging my head against a brick wall.
17:47No, no.
17:48I'm something much more dense, much harder.
17:50A dingle.
17:52I know it sounds awful,
17:55but I wish I could own take of Elle myself.
17:58I mean, I don't have to listen to her questioning me,
18:00putting the brakes on.
18:01Maybe you could.
18:04Sure, yeah, I'll just buy Belle out.
18:07I could buy her out.
18:08Oh, great, okay.
18:10And is it just you?
18:10Seriously?
18:12When it comes to business,
18:14and putting dingles in their place,
18:16I'm always serious.
18:18No, no, no way.
18:20Why?
18:21Because I couldn't ask you to do that.
18:23What if I insisted?
18:25Bye, Dawn.
18:26Bye, Dawn.
18:32I don't even remember when it started.
18:36Or what made it start.
18:40I mean, she was pretty hard with everyone.
18:43All the students.
18:44But with me, she just got harder and harder.
18:47Like it was actually personal.
18:51And all I could think was why.
18:54What had I done wrong?
18:55Nothing.
18:58I mean, I didn't get things right all the time.
19:01I made some mistakes,
19:02didn't know the answers to all the questions,
19:04but I wasn't the only one.
19:07But I was the only one that she'd pick on.
19:11And you know me,
19:12I'm not, like,
19:13I'm not overly sensitive.
19:15No, totally.
19:21I don't know,
19:22but it felt like she was waiting for me to,
19:24to mess up so she could stamp on me again.
19:28And then sometimes she wouldn't even wait,
19:30she would just keep kicking me.
19:32Like she wanted a reaction,
19:33just so she could fail me.
19:36Look, but some people are just not wired, right?
19:39I'm so sorry, Jacob.
19:41I'm so sorry, Jacob.
19:49I want to be a doctor so much.
19:53But she makes me dread going to the hospital.
19:57I don't sleep.
20:04And then I feel knackered and
20:08I go in and
20:09I just feel sick.
20:15Like I'm waiting for her to come for me again.
20:25I don't know who I am anymore.
20:28What I'm meant to be.
20:30Listen, you are my husband.
20:32You are the father to our baby.
20:34And now I know what you're going through.
20:35We can deal with this.
20:36Together.
20:43I love you.
20:44We're going to get through this, okay?
20:46I'm going to help you.
20:48I can't believe it's over.
20:50I know Paddy's got a suspended sentence, but...
20:52At least they're not behind bars.
20:55Yeah, some people don't know what that's like.
20:58Sometimes you wake up and it feels like you're still in there.
21:02I mean, you leave prison,
21:03but it takes a while for prison to leave you.
21:06Have you heard of knocking?
21:08No, you're going to want to hear this.
21:10Okay, what would you say
21:11if Joe wanted to buy you out of take a vow?
21:14Are you serious?
21:15Well, I'd say that someone's put the idea in his head, Don.
21:18We dangled the bait.
21:20Any bit.
21:21You joking?
21:22Bit hard.
21:23How hard?
21:24Well, the money's going to be in my account tomorrow.
21:27What?
21:28How is it this easy?
21:30I couldn't have done it without you.
21:33Yes!
21:34Oh, this makes me so happy.
21:44And if you can't get enough of Emmerdale,
21:46why not take a guided tour of the Emmerdale Village?
21:49You can find all the details at emmerdalevillagetour.co.uk.
21:53Next on ITV1, it's Coronation Street.
22:09You
