00:00To be continued...
00:38Dad!
00:39Dad!
00:43What?
00:44There's no furniture nor nothing.
00:46So what?
00:47Well you can't move in without furniture.
00:49Who says?
00:50Mum.
00:50She thinks you're dark.
00:52Look.
00:52I'm a big boy now, you know.
00:54I can make my own decisions.
00:55Like you have.
00:57Yeah, well it weren't really my decision, was it?
01:00And look Cal, I'm sorry if you feel you've gone back to school against your will.
01:05Okay, your mum and me got it wrong, for the best of reasons, but yeah, we got it wrong.
01:15But what we wanted, want, the best for you, but I suppose what we did was to discuss you,
01:26discuss your future without including you in on the chat.
01:33Now, look, I'm talking to you like an adult.
01:38You're 16, you've got your own life.
01:41In the future you make your own decisions, like I do, like you have.
01:44Yeah, well Mum.
01:45Yes, she will.
01:47I'm sure she put pressure on you to go back to school to take your GCs, so did I.
01:51But in the end, all anyone can do for anyone else is to give them advice.
01:54Yes.
01:55Advice.
01:56Yes.
01:57Whether or not they act on it should be up to them.
01:59And that's all you'll get in future.
02:01Advice.
02:03Like I said, you're a man.
02:10So, in the future you make up your own mind.
02:13Fair?
02:15Yeah, fair.
02:19Do you want some help then?
02:21Have you got time?
02:22Before school.
02:23Yeah.
02:24Okay.
02:26See if you can manage these.
02:30Go on.
02:31I'm relegated to tea maker now, aren't I?
02:33All white colour workers start with making the tea, why don't you?
02:45Another one?
02:46Yeah.
02:48Irish this time.
02:49Do you know, I could swear it's the same one who rang yesterday.
02:52I thought you said there was more than one of them.
02:54If I knew who it was.
02:55Yeah, well you don't, right?
02:57If Mary had a phone, I'd almost suspect her.
03:00Is Ali there?
03:01Can I speak to Ali?
03:02Next time, ask them where they got the number for.
03:04Next time?
03:07It's just some joker.
03:09Very funny.
03:11Here.
03:11What are you doing here anyway?
03:16Well, does that cheer you up?
03:19What are we going to do with it all?
03:20Well, if it keeps coming in at this rate, we could end up with a deposit for a new motor.
03:24Oh, here we go.
03:25Or on the other hand, I suppose I can scrape by for another year, learn to live with all
03:29the rust, rat tools and squeaks.
03:31Yeah, yeah, yeah.
03:32Lay it on with a trowel.
03:33And as it looks as if this old bone shaker won't get through its MOT.
03:38A new cooker?
03:39Well, let's not go raving mad.
03:40A second-hand one, maybe, from the shop down the market.
03:43A good second-hand one, mind.
03:44HP, of course.
03:45And we'll use this as a deposit.
03:48You're not joking.
03:49I think it's not.
03:51Oh, and I good to you, eh?
03:53Never know.
03:53For the travel news.
03:57Thanks, Bob.
03:58And the latest travel news, no problems, on the railway this morning.
04:01And London Transport also report tubes and buses running normally.
04:05Thank you, Trev.
04:06Now here's Stephen Chin Chin Duffy with...
04:10Doesn't seem right, Sam, how does it?
04:13What?
04:14What he says about buses running normally.
04:16Yeah.
04:17It's only us that's stopped.
04:19Yeah.
04:20It feels so strange.
04:22I mean, if Michelle was here and Mum was here, then I'd believe it.
04:24I'd believe Mark was gone.
04:27I've never even noticed that clock before.
04:31I've got to start work in the pub today.
04:34Well, you can't work.
04:35I can't go to work.
04:36You've got to, Pauline.
04:38Anyway, what's normal about buses running on time?
04:41Yeah.
04:43Where did we go wrong, then, Arthur?
04:45I mean, it must be our fault.
04:46It's not going to do any good with us blaming ourselves.
04:49Well, why else would a 16-year-old want to run away from home?
04:52I mean, is it the baby?
04:55Look, we've got to start thinking positive.
04:58What are we going to do?
05:01No, not the police.
05:02What, then?
05:03No, he wouldn't thank us for it.
05:06We can't sit around here all day.
05:08That's right.
05:09We've got to keep going.
05:10I'll go to the pub.
05:11You go to the laundrette.
05:13Just like normal.
05:15Except that it isn't.
05:30So, how was Michelle?
05:32Oh, great.
05:32The grand screams all when she goes on the mighty mouth.
05:35Oh, Lou and me used to enjoy them dodgens.
05:38Uh, proper old spoilsport.
05:39She won't let her do nothing on her own.
05:42No postcard from Dad.
05:44Yeah, well, they usually arrive when you get back, don't they?
05:46Anyway, he said he'd phone.
05:47Well, Walton already got us.
05:49Why can't you phone Michelle from down here?
05:52No privacy, is there?
05:53Peak time in the morning it phones.
05:55Only time you can catch your mum.
05:57They're out all day.
05:59Anyway, Tony's moving into his house.
06:02Oh?
06:03I've just seen him shifting his gear in.
06:05Perhaps it'll stop him from hammering and drilling all night long.
06:08Me and Willie's dog tired.
06:11Kept awake night after night.
06:13Here, Ethel, you tried that recipe for steak and kidney pie yet?
06:16I don't need no recipe.
06:17It's all here in me head.
06:19Oh, well, I thought we could start cooking today.
06:22You know, freeze a few.
06:22Here's your list.
06:23I want best steak.
06:24I'm not cutting no corners to start with.
06:26Either you, Arthur or Lofty will have to go.
06:28I've got no time today.
06:30Missy, you'll be late.
06:32Right.
06:35Hello, love.
06:35What are you doing?
06:36Angie sent me out shopping, pub lunches.
06:38I don't think you'd trust me in the cellar.
06:40Oh.
06:41Here, did you get me breakfast?
06:42Yeah, got some at the Vic.
06:43Oh, good.
06:44I think I'll catch me breath before I go back.
06:47You know, I'm very nervous.
06:49What are you really nervous about?
06:51Frames in case you drop the glasses.
06:53Don't put ideas into me head.
06:55Nah.
06:56I'll tell you something.
06:56I mean, I really miss the old bear.
06:59You know that.
06:59Yeah.
07:00I know what you mean.
07:01Still, there's no point in telling them.
07:03Oh, no, no.
07:04Not yet.
07:04No.
07:06Arthur, do you think there's any point in having a word with P?
07:10Well, why not?
07:11Mark always got on well with him.
07:13Yeah.
07:14Why not?
07:15Oh, please don't talk like that.
07:18Like what?
07:18Well, in the past tense, as though he was, you know.
07:22Oh, I'm sorry.
07:23I'm sorry.
07:23No, no, no, no.
07:24No, no, it's me that's sorry.
07:25It's me.
07:26Anyway, he might know something.
07:28Yeah, well, I'd better be getting back, you know.
07:31Angie would be wondering where I am, and I don't want to get the sack on the first day,
07:34do I?
07:35I'll have a word with Pete.
07:36Ask him to drop round, eh?
07:37Yeah.
07:38Here, and best of British.
07:47Yeah.
07:48And you forgot the corn flour.
07:51Eh?
07:51For the thickening.
07:53I've got the steak.
07:53What's going on?
07:54Oh, well, ask him, I can't stop.
07:56Oh, well, since you asked, I'm cooking for the power.
08:00Well, for the freezer, really.
08:02Not my feet.
08:04Oh, I see.
08:06Now, uh, onions.
08:08I think she said five pounds.
08:09Right off.
08:15Oh, by the way, Dr. Legg's on hospital with you tomorrow night.
08:18Hmm?
08:19So I'm acting chairperson.
08:21Chair what?
08:22If Dr. Legg and Park were being called a chairperson, so can I.
08:26I don't believe this.
08:28You.
08:28Save Albert Square.
08:30Serving on committees.
08:32How are you going to chair a meeting?
08:34You always fall asleep by the time we get home.
08:37I'm going to come with you and make sure you stay awake.
08:39Yeah.
08:40They're worth it, aren't they?
08:42Just for the making up afterwards.
08:45What are you on about, Ethel?
08:46Well, you're having a tip, aren't you?
08:49Are we?
08:50Our man and I used to go at it, Amber and Tom's.
08:54It's not a passion, that is.
08:57You kiss and make up.
09:00I'll come and wait.
09:07And we must call a meeting of our own committee.
09:09What committee's that?
09:11The Mr. and Mrs. Geoffrey Joint Decision Making Committee.
09:14Remember that one?
09:15Who's chairperson?
09:17Should we apply for a licence to sell intoxicating liquor?
09:20What about videos?
09:21What about newspapers?
09:22Eh?
09:22You're embarrassed.
09:24What?
09:25Ethel's embarrassed you.
09:26Doors.
09:27She has.
09:28You don't know what you're talking about.
09:31I'm, er, going to finish the stock.
09:33Good idea.
09:34Or we might have another tiff.
09:36Sign of passion, you know.
09:47How much is a dash of lime?
09:49What, a dash?
09:50It's ten pence.
09:51Right, that's, er, one lager and lime, one port and lemon, two pints of bitter.
09:55I don't know what that would be.
09:56Let me see.
09:57That's...
09:58Do we charge for cherries?
09:59No, only for cocktail sticks.
10:00Right, then.
10:02Did you buy the snowball or was that somebody else?
10:04Do I look like a snowball?
10:06That was Alice.
10:07Oh, I know her.
10:07She's always on the cage.
10:08Yeah, right.
10:09Watch her.
10:09She treats us like an off-licence.
10:10Only drinks in here if someone else is paying.
10:13Alice springs up everywhere.
10:16Here, please yourself.
10:18So you didn't buy the snowball?
10:20No, well, that's, er, 158, 158, 75...
10:25Oh, Lofty, give us a pencil and paper.
10:27I'll get it yourself, Arthur.
10:28Well, where's Angie?
10:29Upstairs, tightening herself up, I expect.
10:31I'm going to ask her for a calculator.
10:33Ethel!
10:34Get those dogs outside.
10:35It's un-i-cheenic.
10:38Uh, Ange, Arthur...
10:39Yeah, what do you want, Arthur?
10:40I've forgotten, that's, er...
10:41Let me see, that's 158, 238, and...
10:45Three pounds, ten octavos.
10:47All right, there you go.
10:48Thank you very much.
10:49Five pounds.
10:50Right, that's, uh...
10:51Three pound, ten...
10:53Boom.
10:53There.
10:54Go.
10:57That's three pound, ten, three pound, ten, and...
10:59Thirty makes three.
11:00Fifty.
11:01Fifty makes four, and one is five.
11:04There you go.
11:05Thank you very much, Ali.
11:07Good job I'm on the stage.
11:09Yeah.
11:12Here, Arthur, you can do a pint of shandy.
11:14A pint of shandy.
11:14Right, come here.
11:15Oh, Arthur.
11:16Yeah.
11:16You can manage, can't you?
11:18Yeah, yeah, of course I can.
11:21Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.
11:24Ooh.
11:25Ethel, I've upset you.
11:27Oh, it's the onions.
11:29Where's the Worcester sauce?
11:31Round the public.
11:35Oh, doing all right, Arthur?
11:37Oh, yeah, I'm getting the hang of it slowly.
11:38Oh, good.
11:40Well, Angie.
11:42Angie!
11:43Angie!
11:43Angie, help, please, help.
11:55Sounds a bit primitive to me.
11:58Here, Tone, was you ever in the brownies?
12:00I wasn't a boy scout either.
12:02Ha, ha, ha, ha.
12:03Ha, ha, ha, ha.
12:08What do you do at night?
12:10I mean, what do you do for light at night?
12:13Electricity on yet?
12:14Oh, just.
12:15Sounds cosy.
12:16Could be.
12:17A bit cold for sitting about.
12:19A bit cold for sitting about.
12:19Yeah, I suppose so.
12:20What do you do for food?
12:22Oh, make do.
12:24Why didn't you come round here for a meal?
12:26Ethel's doing some advanced cooking I could do with a taster, make sure it's all right.
12:30What's cooking?
12:30Nothing fancy at first.
12:33Steak and kidney pie.
12:34Oh, I like home cooking.
12:35I thought you might.
12:37Look, if it's just to the end of the week, I mean, I can borrow you the float money for
12:41Monday's marketing.
12:42It's not that big.
12:44What if it's a bit something more?
12:45I mean, I've got a bit put away for emergencies.
12:48And you're welcome to that as the flowers in May.
12:50No, stop, Pete.
12:51Stop.
12:51It's got nothing to do with money.
12:52It's Mark.
12:54He's gone missing.
12:55What?
12:55Left home.
12:57No, Pauline, no.
12:58He obviously didn't say anything to Pete either.
13:01You thought you might have known something.
13:03Oh, Golden Bennet, sis.
13:04If I'd known anything, do you think I'd kept it to myself?
13:07No, of course not, no.
13:08We were just clutching at straws, that's all.
13:10He liked you, you see.
13:11Well, have you phoned the old Bill?
13:14No.
13:16When did he go missing?
13:18He's been gone two nights.
13:19No, it was the day before, yet, the day before that.
13:23What, the day Nick Cotton got arrested?
13:26Yeah, that'd be it.
13:27I wonder if he...
13:29He might know something.
13:32Very nice, Ethel.
13:34Right, we'll leave one out and we'll bung the rest in the freezer, eh?
13:37My Will used to swear by my steak and kidney pies.
13:40Yeah?
13:41Which Will was that?
13:42Your husband or your dog?
13:44That'll be your dad, at long last.
13:47Queen Vic?
13:49Yeah, hang on, love.
13:50It's for you, Michelle.
13:52Here.
13:53You two in love or something?
13:54You're never off that phone.
13:56You had your tea?
13:57Yeah.
13:57Hello.
13:58Right then, Ethel.
13:59I've invited Tony over to test your culinary delights.
14:02Apparently, he's something of a connoisseur.
14:04I'm so well led to believe.
14:06Oh, well, he's in for a treat then.
14:09Hi.
14:10Where is this committee meeting?
14:11Oh, please.
14:12More night.
14:13But I'll be working.
14:14That's right, Arthur.
14:15Chat up the customers.
14:16It's good for business.
14:18But while you're doing it, don't stop working.
14:20There's ashtrays to be emptied.
14:21Glasses to be cleaned in this bar.
14:23It looks like it ain't been wiped down since Christmas.
14:25Right on, then.
14:27Good evening, young man.
14:28On your own, are you?
14:30Mm.
14:30I thought I'd get out of her way for a couple of hours.
14:32She's studying, see, for exams.
14:34Oh, and you're too much of a distraction, are you?
14:37Hold up.
14:38I don't believe it.
14:41What's the matter with you?
14:42Nothing, Lofty.
14:43It's just that we're not used to such sartorial elegance in Albert Square.
14:46What's your problem?
14:47You swallowed a dictionary or something.
14:49Well, well, nice one, Lofty.
14:51Real Savarone.
14:52Do you like it, Arthur?
14:53I've got it down the jumble sale.
14:54Not bad, eh?
14:55Cool.
14:55I ain't seen flares like that since the fleet was in.
14:58Have you taken them in?
14:59No, I'm very passionate with the odd sailor.
15:02Providing they're not that odd.
15:03Oh, what are you staring at?
15:07Hey, you didn't tell me the food tasting was formal.
15:10I'd have gone to Moss Bros if I'd known.
15:11You know what?
15:12You lot are really starting to get on my wittakers.
15:14What's the joke, anyway?
15:15Er, Tony's just come round to sample Ethel Steak and Kidney Pie.
15:18Oh, well, that should be good for a laugh, eh?
15:20Er, step this way, my man.
15:23So you're, er, planning to step into the licensee's shoes as well, are you, Lofty?
15:27What do you mean?
15:28Well, him not being here.
15:29What are you on about, Arthur?
15:30Ever since I've come in here, I've had the feeling they're so funny going on, only I don't know what
15:35it is.
15:42Poor old Lofty.
15:44Someone's gonna have to tell him, you know.
15:45It's Den's suit.
15:47How did he get it?
15:48I threw it out for the jumble.
15:50I've been trying to get rid of it for ages.
15:52He's been hanging in the wardrobe, gathering dust since before the Beatles.
15:55They say if you keep clothes long enough, they come back into fashion again.
16:00Yeah, well, I don't think Lofty's gonna live that long.
16:02There you are, then.
16:04And if that isn't the best pastry you've ever eaten, my name is not Ethel May Skinner.
16:08Oh, so that's your middle name.
16:11Born in May, were you, Ethel?
16:12That's right, Taurus.
16:14Bull in a china shop, my old mum used to say.
16:17Go on, Ethel, you take a break.
16:18Tell Arthur I said you can have whatever you want on the earth.
16:22Oh.
16:24Right.
16:29Hmm.
16:31Patient half bad.
16:32Hmm.
16:33What's the filling line?
16:39There's something familiar about that suit, Lofty.
16:42Yeah, I know what you mean, Ethel.
16:43Yeah, it rings a bell with me, too.
16:45I saw this programme on television where they all wore suits like that.
16:47Of course, it wasn't black and white.
16:49Just like Den never went away.
16:51As though he's haunting us.
16:54Now, what is all this?
16:56Shall we tell him?
17:11Go on, Ethel.
17:12Put him out of his misery.
17:14Well, it's Den's old suit.
17:18Ha, ha, ha, ha.
17:19And she put it in the jumble before he went on his holiday haul.
17:23Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
17:25Ethel.
17:26Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
17:27Ethel.
17:29What is this?
17:31It was best steak when I bought it.
17:33I know it was.
17:34I saw it.
17:35Yes, well...
17:36I'm never so sorry, Angie, but the dog scoffed it all up, you see.
17:40And when I got to the butcher's, I had only enough cash left for rubbish.
17:45Well, what sort of meat is it?
17:47Horse.
17:49Horse.
17:50Tell you what, Debbie.
17:51Wouldn't fancy that in a 3.30.
17:54Horse.
17:55Horse.
18:00Horse.
18:02Horse.
18:02Horse.
18:07Horse.
18:08Horse.
18:11Horse.
18:12Horse.
18:16Horse.
18:18Horse.
18:18Horse.
18:18Horse.
18:19Horse.
18:20Oh, I did so much shopping.
18:22It's all right.
18:23I never would have managed.
18:24OK.
18:24Take the bag, and I'll take the box for you.
18:26Come on.
18:27It's a bit heavy.
18:28Mine's underneath.
18:29It's like I'm split.
18:30You sure you won't take anything for it?
18:31What, an aspirin?
18:32No, it's all right.
18:40Morning, workers.
18:42Hello, Tony.
18:42I thought you might want to go around to the cash and carry or something.
18:46Oh, thanks.
18:48Sorry, Tone, I'm not properly dressed.
18:49Excuse me.
18:50Oh, you don't mind, do you, Tony?
18:52Man of the world, eh?
18:53Oh, not at all.
18:55Sex maniac.
18:58Here, Tone.
19:00I want you to have a word with you.
19:02I feel like I owe you an apology after last night.
19:05But why don't you come round tea time, have a proper meal?
19:07Here, don't rub it in.
19:09Oh, that's very nice.
19:11But, oh, there's a committee meeting.
19:15I could come later.
19:17Is that about up our state, then?
19:18Yeah.
19:19Here.
19:20You're out of frozen pastry.
19:22Well, you'll just have to make some more, won't you, Ethel?
19:24What, with flour and all that?
19:26Here, if that's Den, tell him I want a word with him.
19:30I'm sorry you caught me all my knickers in a twist, so to speak.
19:33Okay, see you later.
19:35All right.
19:35Brewery, Angie.
19:36Muckham coming.
19:39Oh, by the way, Lofty, loved your suit.
19:42Hey, you could start a whole new trend with that.
19:44Yeah, just like your stupid hat.
19:47Prat.
19:51She'll get fat if it'll come out in spots.
19:54Who?
19:54Your girlfriend has five Mars bars a day.
19:57She'll pass the pastry.
19:58Won't come in when I'm at the school.
20:00You're imagining things.
20:02Short crust.
20:03Here.
20:04Do you know, orphaned, how much of what to want?
20:07I remember making short crust pastry at school.
20:09Was it half and half?
20:10Or one-third of one and two-thirds of the other?
20:13Oh, I used to be a dab-hand at pastry, like it was.
20:16But it's so long since my will died.
20:18Used to swear by my pastry.
20:20Look it up in your cookbook.
20:22I would.
20:22Yes.
20:23I suppose you're right.
20:25Say it.
20:27Sure.
20:28Hm?
20:28I was right about the bull bearing.
20:31Wouldn't it be expensive?
20:33The bloke said he let me do it myself down at the garage.
20:35Not a bad sort.
20:36Don't worry.
20:37You'll still get your cook up.
20:38Hello, Ali.
20:39Oh, hello, Ethel.
20:40Alright?
20:40Yes, thanks.
20:41Oh, here.
20:42A paper.
20:43How much fat to flour for short crust?
20:46What do you want to know for?
20:48What do you think?
20:49I'm making pastry.
20:51Is this for your pub lunches?
20:52Do us a favour.
20:54Well, you do other people favours.
20:56Give them lifts and so forth.
20:58Why not me?
20:59I know when I'm not wanted.
21:01It's half fat to flour, Ethel.
21:05That reminds me.
21:07What was Deb doing in your cab?
21:09Nothing, love.
21:10I was giving her a lift with her shopping, that's all.
21:13Alright?
21:18Look, nobody's saying you knew he was going to do it.
21:20No, of course not.
21:21We just thought, hoped.
21:23You might be able to tell us where he might have gone.
21:25Look, I don't know where he is.
21:26No, no, no, no.
21:27I mean the sort of place.
21:29You see, Ian, you're young, you're more in touch with Mark's scene.
21:32Look, I don't hang around with his mates.
21:33Who were his mates?
21:35Well, I don't know.
21:35The blokes he was at school with, I suppose.
21:37He was in a different class to me.
21:39Have you tried Bob and Matty?
21:40We did.
21:42Ian, how well did Mark know Nick Cotton?
21:45Well, I saw him with him sometimes.
21:47Well, where?
21:48Doing what?
21:49Just hanging around.
21:50That's all.
21:51I didn't keep an eye on him.
21:52OK, OK.
21:54Now, look, Ian.
21:54If there's anything you know, anything at all, that you think might help us find him,
21:59please, will you tell us?
22:03Just thought you might have changed your mind.
22:05I haven't.
22:06Well, if Ali wants to come.
22:08He doesn't.
22:10Anyway, he works nights.
22:12Oh, do you have to put up with that as well?
22:13Yeah.
22:14How do you find it?
22:16Got used to it.
22:17It can get really creepy on your own though, can't it?
22:19Yeah.
22:21Doesn't your old man wonder what you get up to when he's not there?
22:24Why should he?
22:25Doesn't he get jealous?
22:26Oh, no.
22:27We don't believe in that.
22:28I mean, we're not married.
22:30No?
22:30No.
22:31We just choose to live together.
22:33We remain free agents.
22:35Oh, so he wouldn't mind if you...
22:36He doesn't own me any more than I own him.
22:38That's not to say he wouldn't mind.
22:39He just wouldn't have the right to object.
22:41It's what's called, well, an open situation.
22:44Actually, neither of us takes advantage.
22:47Well, it's a bit different if you've got kids.
22:49Yes.
22:50Can you imagine?
22:51I mean, me for instance.
22:53I mean, I'd raise blue murder if I thought Ali was having it off with someone else.
22:57Anyway, that's filled you in on the meeting.
22:59Yeah.
23:00You will tell your husband all about it, won't you?
23:02Why don't you tell him?
23:03Me?
23:04Yeah.
23:05Next time he gives you a lift somewhere.
23:09Well, it's taking you long enough, hasn't it?
23:12Yeah, everything's all right here.
23:14You've got nothing to worry about.
23:16Listen, Den, you'd better give me your number, eh?
23:19Or in case we get cut off.
23:21Hold on.
23:22Yeah, go on.
23:23Yeah.
23:26Got it.
23:28So, how's the villa then?
23:31Sorry.
23:31Apartment.
23:33Oh.
23:35Poor old Den.
23:37I told you, you should have taken me with you.
23:40Ooh.
23:42Well, I might think they're smashing.
23:46Oh.
23:47Yeah, okay.
23:49Right then.
23:50I'll see you.
23:55Dialing code.
23:57Never get married, mate.
23:58You give a woman a little son, you haven't an affair with her.
24:01Honest?
24:02Nah, of course not.
24:03It's all in her mind.
24:04Wife.
24:05Where's the code for?
24:06Hey, for the telephone.
24:07That was your dad.
24:08Oh, how is he?
24:09Fine.
24:10Now, where's Spain?
24:11What is he going to buy a villa?
24:12Um, he ain't made his mind up yet.
24:14Well, what do you want the dialing code for Spain for?
24:16He's already in one yard.
24:17Never you mind, my girl.
24:22I think the most important thing is to keep all the residents of the square informed of
24:26what we're doing.
24:27Then they can air their views, and they can't complain later if they don't like what we're
24:31doing.
24:31Yeah, good idea.
24:33Well, I know Alan and Sue won't be pleased.
24:35They're hoping their terrace will get demolished, so they'll be rehoused.
24:38So, we must take particular care they're kept informed.
24:42Mm-hm.
24:43Give them a chance to object.
24:44What if they put a spanner in the works?
24:46Oh, it's better now than later.
24:48There's no use us acting as individuals if we really want to stop the council from demolishing
24:52the square.
24:53We've got to act as representatives for the whole community.
24:56Look, it's only a rumor so far.
24:58Yeah, but supposing it's true.
25:00And we've put in our objections without properly canvassing for opinions.
25:04The council will say, quite rightly, that we're not acting for all the residents.
25:07Yeah.
25:08We've got to start off on the right foot.
25:10Yeah, that's true.
25:12We must, uh, circularise everybody.
25:15Agreed?
25:15Right.
25:16I'd put the kettle on, only I can't do the minutes at the same time.
25:19Sorry.
25:20I'll see to it.
25:23Well, what does everybody want?
25:24A tea, please.
25:25Tea.
25:26Oh, nothing for me.
25:27Yes, nothing.
25:27Tea.
25:28Three teas.
25:28I'll have whatever the cheer person wants.
25:31Look, the thing is, people don't read circulars.
25:33I'm sure Ali and Sue don't.
25:35Anyway, it's getting expensive getting all these things printed.
25:38Tell you what, I'll take on the job of keeping them informed.
25:41Okay?
25:41Thank you, Debbie.
25:42Look, I...
25:43Would you excuse me?
25:45But, uh, I promised to meet somebody.
25:48Sorry.
25:49Okay.
25:49Is there...
25:51Has anybody heard anything from the council?
25:53Oh, no, not yet.
25:54I'm still waiting for a reply to my last letter.
25:57Well, until we get something from the council, one wordy other,
26:01there's not really a lot we can do.
26:03We can hardly start a campaign to save the square
26:05until we know whether or not it really needs saving.
26:08Hmm.
26:10You're a good cook.
26:11Correction.
26:12I have a very good cookbook.
26:16Where's Sharon?
26:17Asleep.
26:20They'll be up to see what's going on.
26:23Let them.
26:25It seems a shame, doesn't it?
26:27You having to go home to sleep on a cold floor?
26:29You could always, um...
26:31Could I?
26:34I'd prefer a nice soft bed, don't you?
26:37There's a nice soft bed here.
26:39I bet.
26:41The old man must be crazy.
26:44Hmm.
26:46How many bedrooms have you got?
26:47Well, there's mine, Sharon's, and the spare room.
26:51Ah.
26:52I don't suppose it would do for Sharon to see me creeping around at night, huh?
26:57Oh, no.
26:58I don't want her to go getting ideas.
27:00I thought as much.
27:02Well...
27:03Don't go just yet, eh?
27:06I'm not exactly kicking you out, am I?
27:12You wouldn't want to see me get out of control now, would you?
27:16No.
27:18Well, maybe.
27:21Not just yet.
27:59I'm trying to get out of control now.
28:00I'm trying to get out of control now.
28:01You know, I have to go all the way back in.
28:01Well, no.
28:02That's a shower.
28:03I get out of control now.
28:12You're about to run the way back in the dark.
28:14I was chasing you, huh?
28:15You're gonna be in the dark place.
28:16You're gonna have to survive.
