00:29Boats build! Boats can build!
00:33Lane Peel is a valued member of our community and I deeply regret my involvement in this smear on her
00:41character.
00:41Ah, noise pollution. That's what it is. Vulgar and cheap.
00:46Yeah. Wouldn't be vulgar and cheap if you'd thought of it first.
00:49I wouldn't lower myself. Excuse me, you are gonna put a little tick in my box, aren't you?
00:55I dunno. I ain't had my breakfast yet.
00:57Yeah, but you will be voting for me.
00:59Right, I'll tell you what I'll do. Put a couple of extra sausages on, I will vote for you. I'm
01:04easily bought.
01:04Yeah, I had heard.
01:07Surprised to see you up and about. Thought you'd be getting your beauty sleep.
01:11Why?
01:12I heard you last night.
01:13What's this?
01:15Quarter to three this morning. Linda was having a bit of a giggle with some geezer.
01:19Couldn't quite make out the voice.
01:21Mind the plate. It's hot.
01:26Everything to your satisfaction?
01:27Oh, you'll get, er, no complaints from me.
01:32Never known a baby who just likes to sleep so much.
01:35Just like Gina, she used to keep us all up.
01:39What's this?
01:41I'm trying to work out if any of us look like Ivy at her age.
01:46Is this you?
01:47Yes.
01:49That is innocent me.
01:51You.
01:52Can't see any of me and Ivy, though.
01:54I can see a little bit of Harry, though.
01:57Oh.
01:57Hmm.
01:59Huh?
02:00What's this?
02:02Oh, sorry. That must have got caught up in the others.
02:05It was, erm, holiday at Pontins.
02:10Eddie won the knobbly knees contest.
02:13Never seen Mum so happy.
02:17Can't have been easy yesterday.
02:19Knowing it was the last time you were ever going to see him.
02:23Yeah.
02:28You know, I need to pop out in a bit.
02:31I've got something to do. It's just a bit of business.
02:34Could you look after Ivy?
02:35Yeah, of course.
02:36Hmm.
02:49Oh, God!
02:50Who I voted for is between me and the voting booth.
02:54It's just I want to make sure you make a great decision.
02:56You shouldn't be saying anything! It's illegal!
02:58Is it?
02:58Do you know, women have only had the vote for 100 years,
03:01and here you are, a woman breaking the rules by pounding me!
03:04Oh, right, so you're a feminist,
03:05so you voted for the female candidate for Elaine, did you?
03:07Because I just...
03:07Who are you, anyway?
03:09What?
03:11You've only been on the square five minutes.
03:13I am a resident of Long Standing.
03:15I know both the candidates, so...
03:17Thank you!
03:18A good...
03:19Thank you!
03:23I did it!
03:24Are you voting for Elaine?
03:26Yep!
03:26And I don't even feel guilty.
03:29Ian, as a counsellor, is a nightmare, believe me.
03:32I had it all through Covid.
03:33I mean, Mr Bigshot, arrogant, pompous, bullying everyone about.
03:39And it'd be one in the eye for that B and all.
03:41I mean, she's treating her house like it's her HQ.
03:44There's something about that woman I don't trust.
03:46I'll follow your lead.
03:48No, Harvey, only if you want to.
03:50I love you, don't I?
03:51Solidarity in the face of adversity.
03:53Right.
03:55What are you two polite?
03:56Nothing. Nothing.
03:57Nothing, no.
03:58I'm gonna go get the van, drive to the old people's home,
04:00and I'm gonna rustle up some voters for Dad.
04:03Probably nice.
04:03Yeah, that's a great idea, but, um...
04:06Might that seem a bit like a...
04:07voter fraud?
04:09Yeah, no, she's right.
04:10Cos if it's a narrow margin, you don't want your Dad losing out
04:12because you coerced a couple of OAPs.
04:15I won't be coercing, haven't I?
04:16It's all about perception, Peter.
04:18Right?
04:18Now, best you save the petrol.
04:20Yeah.
04:24I'm here to support you, not talk about my love life.
04:27Pardon me for taking an interest.
04:29I take it you know his name?
04:32Well, the fact you haven't said anything must mean I know him.
04:34Just please reassure me that it's not Ian Beale.
04:36Mum!
04:39Well, there must be a reason you haven't said anything.
04:41Oh, for goodness sake!
04:43It's Grant.
04:45Grant?
04:46The only Grant I know is Phil's...
04:49That is for your ears only.
04:52He was married to Sharon, wasn't he, a while back?
04:55Your best mate, remember?
04:57Shhh!
04:58That was a long time ago.
05:00Anyway, I had a very...
05:02very nice time and that is all you're getting.
05:05Hmm.
05:05Aye, aye.
05:07Ian Beale.
05:08Ian Beale.
05:10Oi!
05:11Snake!
05:12You talking to me?
05:13Yeah.
05:14Just when I thought you couldn't sink any lower,
05:15you go and post that disgusting video.
05:18It wasn't personal, it's just politics.
05:21It's lies and defamation of character.
05:23After we agreed to have a fair and honest fight.
05:26Those are alien words to you, aren't they, Ian?
05:28I've done an apology video.
05:30Huh.
05:32I deeply regret my involvement in this smear on her character.
05:37I regret being involved...
05:39Right.
05:40I lost the salon earlier, saw you out working and thought...
05:44Maybe we can have some more cake.
05:46Let yourself in, why don't you?
05:49Oh.
05:51Ooh.
05:53Ian Beale.
05:54On his knees.
05:56As normal.
05:57Begging for forgiveness.
05:59Do you know, I was engaged to that man once.
06:03Honestly.
06:04Ooh, what was I thinking?
06:05I forgot about that.
06:07Well, anyway, we've all made desperate decisions for the wrong reasons, I suppose.
06:11Erm, hang on.
06:13Hang on.
06:14Are you checking up on me?
06:16Yes.
06:18So, come on then.

06:22Yes.
06:22Good.

13:29but you surprised me the other day going to see him and i can't get that out of my head
13:40what are you saying
13:43that maybe there is a part of you that still sees him as mr knobbly knees
13:52and if he is dying and he ain't got long then maybe you should see him again try and salvage
14:00something
14:06i don't know what's going on in the last couple of years
14:07i've had to process quite a lot in the last couple of years
14:10i've actually come to terms of things that you wouldn't believe so
