00:26I'll see you next time.
00:31Thank you. That's all good.
00:33Thank you very much for keeping a low profile.
00:35I just wanted to see you get in your hands, darling.
00:41So, who had the say for them?
00:43Because I saw Grant coming out of the B&B, you know, with all this stuff.
00:46I'm guessing you didn't top and tail.
00:48I stayed at Vicky's, but thanks for the heads up.
01:03No, thanks. We're out of milk.
01:15Zach.
01:16Yeah?
01:17Remind me again why you can't do the catering for this wedding.
01:19I've got my best man duties.
01:20I've got a speech to think about, haven't I?
01:22I can't be thinking about canapes and gluten-free options.
01:25We've got gluten-free options.
01:27Yeah, not gluten-free.
01:28Can I take that?
01:29Yeah, knock yourself in.
01:30Go on.
01:30Well, come on, I need to get these in the freezer.
01:34OK, you know what I find really weird?
01:36What's that?
01:37Well, you know, Zach being best man.
01:39No, no, listen, I ain't got anything against rock because he's grown on me.
01:42But, you know, it wasn't that long ago that Vicky was with Spencer.
01:46I mean, I think that...
01:47And, you know, I'm just thinking,
01:49one day I'd like to be best man for Spencer.
01:51You would always be my best man.
01:53Will that do?
01:54Beggars can't be choosers.
01:56Here, did you get this from the reduced dollar?
01:59It's got a hole in it.
02:00Listen, that's you tripping over your own feet,
02:02staring at that blonde bird with a massive...
02:04She was blonde.
02:05Can I take some time off to smell you, please?
02:07Of course you can.
02:08Have a bit all right?
02:10Yeah.
02:11Yeah, it's all right.
02:12It's really good, actually.
02:13I'll see you in a bit.
02:14Yeah.
02:15All right, come on.
02:15I need to get these in the freezer.
02:31What the hell are you doing?
02:39Can you, er...
02:41Help me out with this one?
02:44Letter in the alphabet comes before you.
02:46Comes before you?
02:49It's tea.
02:50Go on, then.
02:51You'll make it one, I'll have one.
02:53I hate you.
02:54Grant!
02:55Er, what's the name of that actor?
02:58You know, the one who was in, um, A-Team and Rocky III?
03:01Mr...
03:02Nice try.
03:04You're going to at least move some of your stuff out of the way.
03:06It's my home, not a doss-ass.
03:09All right, give us a chance.
03:14What's this problem?
03:16Oh, I don't know.
03:17I'm not a detective, but maybe he's a crippling hangover.
03:20Or his regret of being knocked back by Linda.
03:23Or, um...
03:24Or maybe his embarrassment.
03:26Of being smacked in the face by his own flesh and blood.
03:29Oh.
03:30Don't worry about it.
03:31Ben's it made me for now?
03:33Call it rites of passage.
03:38Well, if you think they've got something to do with the break-in,
03:40you need to hand them in to the police.
03:42No.
03:42Not enough on their own, are they?
03:44I can't be clever, Cindy.
03:45Wait until I've got enough on him.
03:47Who?
03:48Who do you think?
03:49Mark?
03:50I saw him just now.
03:52Talking to Lauren.
03:54Just as she's managed to magic another load of motors out of her backside.
03:57Definitely up for something.
03:58Hold on.
03:59Those classic cars that got torched.
04:04No, we're here now.
04:05Come on.
04:10It's tomorrow.
04:11The bins.
04:12Bank holiday.
04:13You should have got a letter.
04:15What are you doing here?
04:16We, uh...
04:17What is the word about, uh...
04:18Mark?
04:19Well, tough.
04:20He ain't here.
04:20Ooh.
04:21Blimey.
04:22Avon ladies ain't what I remember.
04:24You all right, Phil?
04:26These are Marks, aren't they?
04:28What do you want, a reward?
04:30I found them in a car lot.
04:32A day after someone punched a hole in the wall.
04:34Probably after trying to get into the safe.
04:36What, and you think it was Mark?
04:38Based on what?
04:40No, if you don't mind.
04:41I wonder what the police would say about that.
04:44Especially if it's the same detectives looking into the arson case.
04:47Oh, you've heard about that, have you?
04:49I've heard enough.
04:50Listen, I've done you a favour, Phil, yeah?
04:52That common courtesy.
04:54Giving Mark a chance to explain himself.
04:56But no, if you don't want to do that, it's fine.
04:58I'll go to the police.
05:00I'm serious.
05:00Yeah, so am I.
05:02That's why I'm asking you nicely.
05:03Call it a common courtesy.
05:11Let's go.
05:15We are not dropping this.
05:28Er, you ever said we had a new lodger?
05:31It's Mark.
05:31He had some kind of kick-off with Grant last night.
05:34Don't ask.
05:35Well, at least he could have tidied up after himself.
05:37Trust me, that is tidy for him.
05:39All right, you lot.
05:40Oh, just a man.
05:42Want to talk to you about it tonight?
05:43No, not now, mate.
05:44I've got something on.
05:44What, more important than your past man duties?
05:46Oh, yeah.
05:47This time it is.
05:48Well, at least tell me that you've booked a stripper.
05:50I mean, I love you, mate, but I don't want to sit through your magic mic routine,
05:52especially night in an allotment shed.
05:54Those days are well over, mate.
05:56See you in a bit.
05:58Um, does this look like a student house to you?
06:02It's been like ten minutes.
06:05You've got a lifetime of this to look forward to, you know?
06:07But actually, it was me that was kicking off.
06:10Huh.
06:12You've got a lifetime of this to look forward to, you know?
06:14And I got you a coffee to thank you for your hospitality.
06:18From the cafe, where I work, where I get them for free.
06:22She gets them for free.
06:23Well, don't mind if I do.
06:25So, um, is this it then, babe?
06:28Is this the last time I get to see you?
06:29Is this an unmarried spinster?
06:30You call me a spinster again and it'll be the last time I see you with two working...
06:34Oh!
06:34Sorry, by the bill.
06:36Here.
06:37Hello, Kev.
06:39Hello.
06:40Zach, stripper's here, Ali.
06:42Hello, you cheeky sod.
06:45Right, I've...
06:46Just checking that I'm covering everything for tonight, OK?
06:49So I have got drinks, nibbles, games.
06:52I've told the girls to wait for five o'clock, which probably means Kim and Kat are getting around about
06:56six.
06:58So...
06:59Oh, no, something's happened, innit?
07:01What?
07:01No, no.
07:03I want to run something by you.
07:06Oh, yeah?
07:11What is this not familiar?
07:13Probably because it was my dad's.
07:15Yeah, that's right.
07:16Someone's Sharon found her on the market just before they dredged the canal.
07:20Blimey, Tender's ring.
07:22It's worth at least a grand.
07:23Oh.
07:24Enough for a semi-decent honeymoon, at least.
07:28Oh, and Sharon's all right with that, is she?
07:32Vicky, you can't go selling the family silver and not tell her.
07:35It's my dad, too.
07:38You know, Ross has worked his socks off to pay for this wedding.
07:41I want him to know that, you know, it's not gone unnoticed.
07:45And that's the only reason, is it?
07:48Hmm?
07:48Listen, this ain't me judging, but...
07:50You know, guilt, it...
07:53It can be a powerful motivator.
07:55Right.
07:57Thanks, Kath.
07:57Oh, look, I'm sorry you asked for my advice, all right?
08:00It's fine.
08:02Right, well, I will see you later, then.
08:09Hey, Gina.
08:11You got a minute?
08:13You OK?
08:14Yeah, yeah, I'll be fine.
08:15I'll catch you up, yeah?
08:16Right.
08:23Eddie's asked me to take him to the restaurant for dinner, right there.
08:27I told you.
08:29If you want to play carer, then that's up to you.
08:33But it doesn't mean that I'm going to spend a second in his company.
08:37Right.
08:38See you later.
08:45Vicky!
08:47Vicky!
08:51Vicky!
08:54Sorry, there should be a sign on the window saying no religious callers.
08:57I need to speak to your brother.
08:59Do I look like his secretary?
09:01He ain't here.
09:02Right, fine.
09:03If you see him, tell him I've found his keys, yeah?
09:06Yeah, well, if you see him first, feel free to remind him that his sister's getting married in the morning.
09:14What am I going to do, Ben?
09:16No clue, mate.
09:17If I'd slept with my girlfriend's brother, I couldn't even look her in the eye.
09:23So, yeah, the aquarium's a blanket note from me.
09:27Lifetime ban.
09:28I'm going to need some context.
09:30Yeah, go on, Osk.
09:31Give us some context.
09:34Penny, uh...
09:37Wanting to take Louis and Jimmy out for the day.
09:39Dry run for when she finally pops, right?
09:41But the aquarium's out of the question for me.
09:45Yeah, so back to square one.
09:48Right, well, I will leave you guys to it.
09:52Daddy daycare.
09:53Cute.
09:53Where you going, then?
09:55No idea.
09:56But I tell you, it won't be.
09:57And that's Madame Tussauds, the private members' area at Wimbledon, all within 5,900 feet of Deborah Meaden.
10:03From Dragonstown.
10:04Don't ask.
10:06She, yeah, don't.
10:07Plans tonight?
10:08I've got tickets to this techno-rave in an old bank vault.
10:11Line-up looks class.
10:13Can't.
10:13Working.
10:14Do you know who you could take, though?
10:16Josh.
10:17He has a terrible taste in music, too.
10:19Come on!
10:21Yeah, thing is, yeah, um...
10:23I already said someone else can have the ticket, if you could have made it, obviously.
10:26Oh, yeah?
10:27Who?
10:33Um...
10:33Wayne.
10:35It's Will.
10:36You like raves?
10:38Of course he does.
10:38Right little grim in this one, right?
10:39You know, you were buzzing for a ticket, weren't you?
10:42Yeah, well, I prefer to write some music, me.
10:45Yeah, I'm well up for a messy one.
10:46Yes!
10:47Woo!
10:48Yeah, boy.
10:48My guy.
10:50Promise I'd be his wingman.
10:51You know, promise is a promise, right?
10:55So, I guess you'll have to apologise to your brother the old-fashioned way.
11:00Fine.
11:00Yep.
11:01I'm gonna go get a tea.
11:13Oh.
11:15Did the big scary man frighten you?
11:17Why are you talking to me like I'm a kid for?
11:21Fair enough.
11:23Why has Max got your keys?
11:27I don't like lying for you.
11:29So, whatever it is you've done...
11:30Oh, I was wondering when I was gonna get a lecture.
11:32Oh, does right here, right now work for you?
11:34Because I am getting married tomorrow.
11:35I've got a million things to do, none of which are helped by you fighting in the street with your
11:39dad,
11:39upsetting the neighbours, and sleeping off a hangover on my sofa.
11:42Since when did you sign up to the Grant Mitchell fan club, eh?
11:45Yeah, fair enough.
11:46Not at the top of my Christmas card list, but he's your dad, Mark.
11:50Just sort it.
11:51And Max.
12:07Lauren, we've got a problem.
12:11Could you be so careless with your keys, Mark?
12:13I'm supposed to be the rookie here.
12:15I've got to go.
12:18Well, I wasn't interrupting anything, was I?
12:20Er, no.
12:22No, just a potential new supplier, that's all.
12:24I didn't think you needed a new one.
12:28So you had a delivery.
12:31You kept that quiet.
12:33Right, well, you should see what I paid for him.
12:36Right, you all set for later?
12:38Yeah?
12:40I'm, er, thinking of doing a little speech, but I don't want it to be, like, self-indulgent.
12:44No, that'd be fine.
12:46This new supplier, Lauren, ain't got nothing to do with Mark Fowler, is it?
12:50Only I saw you with him earlier.
12:52No.
12:54No, he was just passing by.
12:56Right, then Priya said he was helping you sell a motor last week, so what was he just passing by
13:00then as well, was he?
13:01If you've got something to say, just say it.
13:03Right, it's trouble.
13:05Jack rankings he's dodgy, Priya says the same, and I find his keys in here, next to the safe, after
13:09a break-in.
13:11So what are you doing? What, are you sleeping with him?
13:12No, Dad, I'm not sleeping with him.
13:14That's the result. Cindy owes me a teller.
13:17Doesn't explain the keys, though, does it?
13:20Well, fine, Mark has been helping me with the classic cars, right?
13:24So he probably just dropped his keys when he brought the cars over, or when he was bringing in invoices
13:29or something, I don't know.
13:30Yeah, so what are you saying, Lauren? What, nothing to see here, yeah?
13:33So you think Mark had something to do with the stolen cars?
13:37Why would he take all of that time to do them up, just to set fire to him? It don't
13:42make sense, Dad.
13:44Anyway, it wasn't Mark, because he was with Sam that night.
13:47Why did you know that?
13:49Because I asked him.
13:50Why would you ask him that, Lauren?
13:53See, you'd only ask him that if you thought it was him. Go on, tell me I'm wrong.
13:57Even if I did, yeah, it wasn't him, because he had an alibi.
14:01Oh, an alibi, yeah, yeah, yeah, you said.
14:04Who's that? It's Aunty.
14:06You just wake up, Lauren, all right? Just give your head a little wobble.
14:09Dad...
14:09No, I've had enough of this, all right? Your name might be above the door now, but I'm telling you.
14:13The fuck stops with me, Lauren.
14:25I thought I'd prefer to booze it, to be honest.
14:28These fusion places can be a bit poncy.
14:33Give me some spitting sawdust any day.
14:37But this is nice.
14:38You've done good.
14:41So what do you want?
14:42If I ain't a bit, I should do it.
14:46Gina not coming, then?
14:48No, no, she's working.
14:50Ha!
14:52You always were a lousy liar.
14:55At least I can count on you.
14:57Show a bit of humility, some forgiveness.
15:01Don't push it, guys.
15:04So...
15:06What do you recommend?
15:10Well...
15:13Specials.
15:13We've got shepherd's pie.
15:15With a guarnet and twist.
15:17Yeah.
15:18Right.
15:19Let's see if you can improve on a classic, then, shall we?
15:24No.
15:25It's just easy to blend.
15:27Make sure you don't chug.
15:32That's your time.
15:33Well, well, well.
15:36Nicola's been trying to call you about IV.
15:38She's got a bit of a temperature and it's probably fine,
15:40but Nicola's panicking and she's gone off here, Nick.
15:42I've got to go.
15:43Ah, you don't, son.
15:45Got me favourite granddaughter to look after me.
15:47No, no, that's not happening.
15:48No way.
15:50Right, I get it.
15:51Could you just get him up?
15:53You don't have to sit with him.
15:55Please.
15:57Get him across the square, yeah?
15:59I turned invisible all of a sudden.
16:01Just behave yourself.
16:04Fine.
16:05Yeah?
16:06Yeah, can you just go before I change my mind, then?
16:09All right, OK.
16:10Yeah, I'm on me way.
16:15So, your dad tells me you're with one of Nicola's boys.
16:20Talk about a blended family, eh?
16:32I mean, we could go somewhere else if you want.
16:36It's just last minute.
16:37I mean, the food's decent, though.
16:38It's good as when I was chef here.
16:39It's fine.
16:41Just relax.
16:52I know she's your daughter,
16:54but do you really think she's the right choice of partner
16:56to go into business with?
16:57It's that easy to pull the wool over her eyes.
16:59Well, what can I do?
17:01I mean, Sam's giving them an alibi, isn't she?
17:04We're just closing ranks.
17:06Then we play them at the round game.
17:09Hello, all for police, please.
17:12Yeah, I'd like to report a crime.
17:14It's taken me a long time to get my head around it,
17:17but I could have sworn I saw Mark Fowler Jr.
17:20torching some classic cars on the evening of the 14th of May.
17:26And like those stolen cars, the alibi goes up in smoke.
17:31Why didn't you do that?
17:33Lie to the police?
17:35For us, yeah.
17:37It's not just your livelihood at stake.
17:39It's Peter's too.
17:41You're good.
17:43I'll give you that.
17:44Taken you long enough.
17:55Kat, I'm, uh, sorry about yesterday.
17:58No, it's fine.
18:00Leaving us already?
18:01Yeah, the sunlit uplands of Portugal are calling me.
18:05You'll be back.
18:06Me and Alfie tried the old expat thing,
18:08yet here we are.
18:10I wouldn't count on it.
18:11Every time I leave this place,
18:13there's one thing less to come back for.
18:26Hey.
18:27Hey.
18:30Look about yesterday.
18:31What, you, uh, you turning me down, you mean?
18:35Do you realise how drunk you were?
18:37I mean, sleeping with you was the last thing on my mind.
18:41That didn't mean you had to move out.
18:43It's fine.
18:44In the state I was in, it was the last thing you needed.
18:46Particularly, you know, your past.
18:50Have you spoken to Mark?
18:52No.
18:53Are you going to?
18:55Look, you help me sort things out with Johnny,
18:57it's only fair I do the same.
19:01I only met your mum once, but I've heard a lot about her.
19:05Oh, well, if it came from Sharon, I'd take it with a truckload of salt.
19:09I heard that she stuck by you all and always had your backs.
19:13It was the same with me and Mick.
19:15You know, it didn't matter how many times our kids messed up and they, and they did, you know, a
19:20lot.
19:20Well, we never turned our backs on them.
19:23Do you really think it's that simple?
19:27When it comes to your kids, yeah, I do.
19:31You never give up and you never stop trying,
19:34even when they're the ones making it seem impossible.
19:37Or don't you practice what you preach?
19:46Take care, Grant.
19:52And thank you for...
19:55reminding me of who I am.
19:58Sorry, I messed it up, but it's a habit.
20:00Oh, you weren't that bad.
20:03In another life, you, me, this place.
20:06Who knows?
20:15Hold up, what do you mean you haven't wrote nothing?
20:17Well, the groom's is just, you know, thank yous and everyone.
20:20Look how beautiful my new wife is.
20:22Yeah, it's the best man's.
20:23That's the youngest bitch I ever want.
20:25No, no, no, you have got to put more meat on the bones than that.
20:27Take it from me.
20:28I am a seasoned pro.
20:30I'm not sure multiple weddings makes you a seasoned pro, Ian.
20:35I'll have you, no.
20:36So, right, my nuptials was top-notch.
20:39It was the actual marriages that I fell a little bit short on.
20:41Right, I will see you later in the man's shed.
20:43Bring your notes.
20:44I will bring my red pen.
20:45Oh, I can't wait, mate.
20:47You're back early.
20:49Yeah, I managed to wrangle half a day.
20:50Oh.
20:51But I don't see many of them on the table once we break ground on this new shopping centre.
20:55Oh.
20:55Why?
20:56You weren't doing a run, are you?
20:59Oh, OK.
21:00Look, I wasn't going to tell you now, but seeing as you're here...
21:08Well, I'd say robbing about it was pretty obvious, but, yeah.
21:13Porn some of Dad's old jewellery at the Clash for Gold place.
21:16It's nearly two grand.
21:18Hmm.
21:19That's enough to close back the money for the venue.
21:21And your dress.
21:22Yeah.
21:25Or a couple of weeks in Menorca.
21:28Don't you see it, Miss Vic?
21:29Yeah.
21:31Oh, I don't know what to say.
21:32I mean, that's just...
21:34Oh.
21:36Hey, Byron.
21:37Don't know where Zach is, do you?
21:38Swerving me calls.
21:39Probably because he's on a date.
21:41He's on a date?
21:42Oh, right.
21:42Who with?
21:43I don't know.
21:47Get on.
21:50Wow, I can't believe how grown-up she looks.
21:53I know.
21:54I know.
21:55Walking and talking.
21:57Oh, well, Dolly looks all right, I know.
21:59Oh, no, stop.
22:01Leave Brittany alone.
22:03It's me.
22:04You look happy, though.
22:07Really happy bit.
22:08Yeah.
22:09Well, hope so.
22:16It's good to see her.
22:17Yeah.
22:19You too.
22:21I'm not going to lie after last time you spoke.
22:23Let me go.
22:23No.
22:24Please don't.
22:25You don't have to deal with that.
22:25I know you're probably killing it at the minute,
22:28and as I say, the kids that they say look like they're having a lot of fun.
22:33Are you really happy doing all on your own when you could be right here?
22:36Zach, stop.
22:37Why?
22:39Why?
22:41We could have it so good.
22:42We could have our friendly-made family.
22:44Because I'm seeing someone else.
22:54Bye.
22:59What?
23:02You've messed up things pretty badly around here.
23:04Well, so you're allowed to get up to Walshaw's when it comes to me dipping my toe in?
23:09Dipping your toe? Are you serious?
23:12Fine, you can call it whatever you want.
23:14Fact is, you carry on like this, you'll either end up doing a serious stretch inside
23:20or being dragged out of the Thames.
23:25Now, I've got another option for you. Come to Portugal with me.
23:31Are you joking?
23:32Look, I know I screwed up badly yesterday and I am sorry,
23:37but this could be our last chance to get to know each other.
23:41Have you lost your mind?
23:57Drive?
23:58Hi?
23:59Yeah.
24:01You?
24:02Yeah.
24:03Well, I couldn't find no champagne, so...
24:08For the car lot launch?
24:09I don't care about the champagne, Lauren.
24:11I mean your dad.
24:12What are the updates?
24:13Oh.
24:14Well, I've tried, but he's really got it in for you.
24:16He reckons it was you that tortured the cars.
24:18Trying ain't good enough.
24:19You need to call him off, Lauren.
24:21What's the big deal?
24:22You didn't do anything, except you ain't got nothing to hide, have ya?
24:26Yes, I know.
24:26But what did we replace it with?
24:28Hmm?
24:30Where do you think that one come from?
24:32Do you think that you can afford Jimmy's new nursery without doing what we're doing?
24:35You know I can't.
24:36Exactly.
24:38And the more he keeps digging, the worse it is.
24:40For both of us.
24:59I'm bored.
25:01Just on my phone a minute, Janet.
25:03I'll see Mum later.
25:04Not tonight, sweetheart.
25:05I'm tidying up.
25:06Could I speak?
25:08No.
25:09No, no, no.
25:10You don't have to do that.
25:11Your brother would take you, wouldn't he, Will?
25:14Do I have to tonight?
25:15Do I have to tonight?
25:15I've got plans later.
25:16What have I got?
25:17Well, sometimes you all have to change plans, Will.
25:21Hello, darling.
25:23How are you feeling?
25:25Yeah.
25:27Will and Janet are just getting ready to come and see you.
25:31No.
25:32Not fair enough.
25:34Yeah.
25:40Good round.
25:41See you, Tom.
25:42It's funny coloured champagne.
25:44Orange wine slaps.
25:46Bang on trend, too.
25:46Well on, sis.
25:47It was actually peach cider.
25:50It's cheap, too.
25:52Oh, I wonder why.
25:53Hello.
25:54Right.
25:55Sorry.
25:56Hello.
25:56If I could just have your attention for a second.
25:59I promise to keep it short and sweet.
26:04Well, when I found out that Jay was selling this place, I was in proper panic mode.
26:10So to be standing here as co-owner, it really is a pinch of me moment.
26:17I couldn't have done it on my own.
26:18Um, Peter, Priya, even Oscar.
26:24Yeah!
26:25You've all kept me going.
26:27But there is someone very special that I need to thank.
26:32And, well, that's my new business partner.
26:38My dad.
26:43So with all that said, I would just like to introduce you to...
26:47The new...
26:49The new...
26:52One second.
26:54The new...
26:58The new...
27:03Oh, here he is.
27:09The Scarlet Pimpernel.
27:14What's happening?
27:16Have you been avoiding me?
27:18Why would I do that, eh?
27:20Well, that's the million dollar question, isn't it?
27:23Oh, go on, let's hear it.
27:24Oh, look again, look.
27:25Looks confident, doesn't he?
27:26Yeah, I mean, why wouldn't he?
27:28It's not like anybody in his family has a history of crime, is it?
27:31Nah.
27:32It's not like the Mitchells to lie to the police, is it?
27:34Give him a false alibi.
27:35All right.
27:37Prove it.
27:40What if we can?
27:41What are you talking about, Dad?
27:44We know you stole those cars because I saw you do it.
27:49Is that true?
27:50Of course it's not true.
27:51She's lying, Lauren.
27:54Mark's right.
27:56She's lying.
27:59Mark didn't torch those cars.
28:02I did.
28:13Herrington Country Park in Sunderland is hotting up.
28:16Watch Radio 1's A Big Weekend 2026 on iPlayer.
28:20And tell the cap to tune in to the telly
28:22because Spring Watch is back for a new series over on BBC Two now.
28:28Bye.
28:29Bye.
