00:28See you, Maggie, love.
00:29See you.
00:30See you tomorrow.
00:31Draw.
00:33Excuse me.
00:45Hey.
00:49Been dying to do that.
00:50Been fancying you rotten all day.
00:54Well, don't.
00:59What are you doing?
01:00You know what we said.
01:01I know what we said and it's not easy.
01:03In fact, I'd say it's impossible.
01:04I want you, Liz.
01:05I can't help it.
01:09No, it's no use, Des, me working here.
01:12You and me together.
01:13It'd be best if I leave.
01:15No, don't say that.
01:16Look, I want to see you.
01:16Even if it drives me crazy.
01:20Oh, we'd be mad to start anything.
01:23And you know it.
01:25I'd better go.
01:27No, erm, look, don't go.
01:29I won't touch you.
01:30I promise I won't come near you.
01:31Just don't pack in your job, eh?
01:34Get yourself a girl, Des.
01:37You can't have me.
01:39Find somebody you can have.
01:41Oh, yeah, nice and cosy.
01:42Why, you go off home and cuddle up to gym.
01:43What am I supposed to do?
01:46I'm his wife.
01:47Oh, yeah, I'm sorry.
01:50Come to think of it, I'm supposed to be his pal.
01:55Right, who's locking up, you or me?
01:58You.
02:00I'm gonna go and get drunk.
02:04Find a girl instead.
02:06Yeah, you're right.
02:07I'll do that.
02:08You're always right.
02:21There you go, gentlemen.
02:22I'm waiting for this, I'll tell you.
02:23Yeah.
02:24Cheers, Alf.
02:24So, you got your medal then, I hear?
02:26All right.
02:26Although, er, Audrey wasn't with you.
02:28Eh?
02:29What happened there, then?
02:30See, I don't want to talk about it.
02:31And I'll tell you why I don't want to talk about it.
02:33Because Audrey'll tell you all about it.
02:35In fact, Audrey'll tell you about it till the cows come home.
02:37Aye, aye, aye, aye.
02:38You nearly said till the other cows come home, then.
02:41Pint, please, Raquel.
02:44Will you have a drink with me?
02:46I'll take 20 pence.
02:48No, I, er, I don't mean that.
02:49I mean a real drink and a chat.
02:52I've neither the time nor the inclination.
02:55That's what I miss most of all.
02:56Being able to talk to you.
02:58Used to get a lot out of that.
02:59Or give off.
03:01No, I mean it.
03:02Sometimes think to myself, you know,
03:0330 years' time when we're both old and tottering,
03:06well, Raquel will start talking to me again.
03:09Of all the things I miss about you, that's the worst of the lot.
03:11Have you been drinking?
03:13First today.
03:15Well, if you ever change your mind.
03:17Though I don't think you'll ever manage to forgive me, will you?
03:21Unwanted.
03:22Er, can I have an orange juice, please, Raquel?
03:25Er, has Tony been in?
03:27Tony? Er, what, the, er,
03:30oh, the new lad at the garage, you know, I've not seen him.
03:32Oh, okay.
03:34Where's, er, where's your mate tonight, Maxie?
03:37Er, she's gone home.
03:38She's tired of, er, throwing herself at Desi's feet
03:42and never getting picked up.
03:44Oh.
03:46Really?
03:53All right, Jim.
03:54Look, I'm, er, going for a pint when I've had a shower.
03:56Fancy one.
03:57Well, I do, actually, but I'll give it a miss if you don't mind.
03:59I mean, that is until your dad and I start coining it in,
04:01because at the moment I'm drinking on the housekeeping
04:03and I'm trying to get back into what it is, you know?
04:05Yeah.
04:05All right, see you later.
04:06Aye, see you later, mate.
04:09Put us a pint in there, Raquel, please.
04:11Oh, I tell you what, make it a half.
04:13Trying to cut down.
04:15You've always been a drinker, you.
04:17Say a leopard can't change, he spots you.
04:20Oh, I don't know. I'm not a leopard.
04:22Might be spotty.
04:25Do you think that people can never change?
04:28Never thought about it.
04:30Well, when life teaches you a lesson,
04:32you find out you've suddenly been stupid and selfish.
04:35You learn from it, don't you?
04:37Yes, I suppose so.
04:39Do you ever cook these days?
04:42Cook?
04:43You know, saucepans, ovens, herbs, spices.
04:45What chance do I get to cook?
04:46I haven't got a kitchen, have I?
04:48I live in here with Docworths.
04:49I just eat whatever there is going.
04:52It's a shame.
04:53You were getting good at it.
04:55When you used to cook for us.
04:57What was it you used to do once or twice with salmon?
04:59On croot.
05:00No, with pastry.
05:03That is on croot, your band, Pop.
05:08Raquel, there's a customer here who wants serving.
05:11Sorry.
05:12Yes, well, at least I've learned from the experience.
05:14And what's that, ma'am?
05:15Well, I've learned my own husband won't stick up for me
05:17when it comes to the crunch.
05:19Oh, join the club, love.
05:20I'm like President May.
05:24I just want to tell you something.
05:26If I could turn back the clock,
05:27I'd turn it back to when we were still together.
05:43Morning.
05:44Oh, morning, Betty, love.
05:46There's some tea in the pot.
05:47Right.
05:48I'll be speaking then.
05:49Oh, I'm sorry, Betty.
05:51Miles are worth it.
05:52Aw.
05:53Vera, can I ask you something?
05:57Before you and Jack got married, you know, when you were still single, did you ever...
06:04Ah!
06:05You were!
06:06I damn sight more than we do now.
06:09No, no, I mean...
06:11Did you ever fall out really badly?
06:14Like, finish with them?
06:17Oh, I did.
06:18Do you know, he once took this girl to a quap hall dance and he paid for her to go
06:22in.
06:23Told me he'd see me inside.
06:25What, you got back together?
06:27Well, of course you did.
06:28I mean, you must have done.
06:30And most couples have the fall outs, don't they?
06:31Or something comes between them.
06:33Yes.
06:35I mean, look at you and Billy Williams.
06:37Come between you for 50 years.
06:39Mind you, that is too long.
06:41It is.
06:43Right, Royal.
06:44It's a shrewd bet, my darling.
06:46Not just a pretty face, eh?
06:48See you.
06:49Yeah, see ya.
06:52Right.
06:53Go on, Des, you young fellas.
06:55I bet you're getting plenty, aren't you?
06:56If I was getting any more, Jack, I'd have to take a lad on.
06:58I wish I knew how to chat the birds up like you.
07:00You do it, mate, if you know the golden rule.
07:03What's that, then?
07:03Well, if they're brainy, tell them they're beautiful.
07:05If they're beautiful, tell them they're bright.
07:07And that works?
07:08Never fails.
07:09The intellectuals, you tell them you want them for the bodies.
07:11The lookers, you tell them you want them for the chat.
07:13I must try that.
07:14No, no, hang on, hang on.
07:17What happens if they're not bright and they're not beautiful?
07:20Mmm, well...
07:21No, I'm sorry.
07:22I shouldn't have brought our veer into this conversation.
07:24They are, cock.
07:25Yes, Phil.
07:26What can we do for you before we close?
07:28Well, you can tell me that you'll let me take you out tomorrow night.
07:31Go for a nice meal somewhere.
07:33Thank you very much, your ob.
07:35Good.
07:35Because I'm celebrating.
07:36Oh, yeah.
07:37A big load off me mind.
07:39You know this tax that I owe.
07:41And you know what they're like.
07:42They want it all now.
07:43Anyway, I'm off the hook.
07:44The kids have lent me the cash.
07:47The relief, I can't tell you.
07:50Yeah.
07:50So, tomorrow night?
07:52Yeah.
07:53Right seven o'clock.
07:54See ya.
07:58Did you hear that?
07:59Yeah, well, I couldn't help but hear it.
08:02I only hope his idea of a good meal isn't that Chinese chip shop.
08:05Not that.
08:07Sally's just lent him a load of money.
08:09The money I gave to her and Kevin to get them straight.
08:11Now she's just handed it to him.
08:14You still cleaning all that road, Phyllis?
08:16Phyllis?
08:17I still do a bit of mining and that for him.
08:20Oh.
08:22Does he talk about me at all?
08:25Well, I've never heard him say a wrong word about you.
08:29And I told him what a fool he was about that.
08:31Damn you.
08:32And he knows it.
08:33I think he was hurt as much as me, really.
08:37In his own way.
08:39Dear dear little love, good to see you.
08:41Hi.
08:42I just thought I'd have a walk round to the old watering hole, have a look at you.
08:45Well, good on you.
08:46We don't see enough of you now here in them flats, you know.
08:48Right.
08:49Are you having a drink?
08:50On the house.
08:51Top shelf.
08:51Thanks very much.
08:52I can have a gin and tonic.
08:53Gin and tonic it is.
08:55Poor Saul.
08:57I don't know how you get over somewhere like that.
09:00Aye.
09:00And you never know when it's gonna happen to you, do you?
09:04If you like somebody, it pays you to get on with it.
09:07Well, you've got the chance.
09:12Hello, Lisa.
09:13Is Sally in?
09:14Er, no, it's your night in the shop tonight.
09:15Right.
09:16Something wrong?
09:18Yes, there is.
09:19And you ought to have more sense than letting your father sponge off you.
09:23As for Sally, I've something to say to her as well.
09:26Evening, Rita.
09:26Hang about, Rita.
09:27Speak to yourself then, Norman.
09:29Hey, Curly, mate, you couldn't do us a big favour, could you?
09:31Mine are girls for five minutes, I can't leave them.
09:33Oh, come on, Kev.
09:35I've had a hard day.
09:35I'm just on my way home.
09:36Look, it's important.
09:38I think Sally might mean me.
09:39Yeah, all right, go on.
09:41Cheers, mate.
09:41Night.
09:43I don't think this is the place, do you?
09:45I could have a shop full.
09:46Well, there isn't.
09:47And I'll say what I have to say.
09:49Hey, come hang on, Rita.
09:50Kevin, have you left the kids?
09:51No, Curly's minding them.
09:53Look, if you've an ounce of sense, you'll get that money back from Kevin's father.
09:56It's probably too late.
09:57Now, wait a minute.
09:58I don't see what it's got to do with you, what arrangements we come to with Bill.
10:03What it's got to do with me?
10:04It's my money you're flinging away.
10:06No, it's not.
10:07You gave us that money.
10:08I made it very clear.
10:10That money was for helping you and your family.
10:12Oh, and what's Bill then?
10:14Some kind of pen pal?
10:15That's Kevin's dad.
10:16You can't get more family than that.
10:18Look, can I just say something?
10:19You're chucking it down the drain.
10:20Excuse me, but we don't think so.
10:22And if we weren't supposed to use that money, you shouldn't have given it to us.
10:25Well, I thought you'd have had more wit than to hand it over to a sponger.
10:28Hey, now you're out of order, Rita.
10:31Bill is family, which you're not, and you never will be.
10:34And if you think you bought us with that money, you've got another think coming.
10:37Now, just a minute.
10:38No, you listen to me for a change.
10:40You're not entitled to tell us what to do with our lives or how to do it.
10:44So in future, kindly keep your nose out.
10:47Well, I was only trying to...
10:48You were only trying to buy some grandchildren as far as I can see,
10:51and they're not for sale, Rita, and they never were.
10:54And neither are me and Kevin.
10:55And I hope you've got that straight.
11:06Think you've got that straight, Sal?
11:08Slipping it.
11:10You go and put your feet up.
11:12Me and Raquel can see this lot off.
11:13I think I will.
11:15Do you know I'm jiggered?
11:16And get in bed.
11:17I won't wear you up when I come up.
11:18You never do.
11:25Hello, Raquel.
11:26Could I have a half, please?
11:28Didn't think you were coming in tonight.
11:30Nearly didn't.
11:32Why not?
11:33You know why.
11:34Because it's too painful.
11:36Every time I look at you, I remember what I had.
11:39It was painful for me, too.
11:42Don't you think I know that?
11:43That's what makes it so bad.
11:45When I think about what I put you through.
11:47Hey.
11:49It's no good looking back in this life.
11:52You have to look forward.
11:54Yeah.
11:55If you've gone down that wrong road and you know it,
11:58well, what do you do?
12:00You go back to where you went wrong,
12:02and you start again.
12:04It takes two to start again.
12:06You don't want to.
12:07I didn't.
12:11No.
12:13If we could just be, you know, if we could just be friends again.
12:20I think we could.
12:21Good.
12:23That's wonderful.
12:25Thanks.
12:26Don't mention it.
12:28Last orders, ladies and gentlemen, please.
12:31Look, you'll be closing in a few minutes, sir.
12:34Do you fancy a bite of supper across the road?
12:36You know, if you really mean what you said.
12:47Come in.
12:55It's been a long time.
13:00Nothing much has changed.
13:02Except for me, perhaps.
13:07Brings things back, being here.
13:10Yeah.
13:11We had some fun, didn't we?
13:16It wasn't just fun, Des.
13:20I know.
13:23But don't knock fun, eh?
13:33Oh, Des.
13:46Good morning.
13:49Is that tea?
13:51Yeah.
13:53Terrific.
13:56And now I'm going to do you some breakfast.
13:59You've got eggs.
14:00I thought I'd do you an omelette.
14:02Breakfast can wait.
14:03Come here.
14:20I know how it's done, Mavis.
14:23I see no reason why I should be dragged out of bed at some sort of refresher course at the
14:27crack of dawn.
14:28Well, I do.
14:29I mean, look what happened last time you were left in charge.
14:32I don't know who was the more angry.
14:34The guardian leaders who got the sun or the sun leaders who got the guardian.
14:37Oh, the guardian readers had a better vocabulary.
14:40The sun readers were more forceful.
14:43Well, then you antagonised the paper boys.
14:45No.
14:46They antagonised me.
14:47Whichever you ended up delivering the papers yourself.
14:51I'm just saying.
14:52This time, Derek, no incidents, please.
14:55You're so fearful, Mavis.
14:56Why go on the cruise at all?
14:58You'll only end up spending the entire time away worrying.
15:01Oh, no, I won't.
15:03It'll be a nice break for me.
15:07Des?
15:08Be right with you.
15:10Have you got any jam?
15:11I can't.
15:12Oh, it's all right.
15:17I shall have to sort this lot out.
15:23Oh, great.
15:23You've made some coffee.
15:25Just got time for half a cup.
15:27Aren't you going to have any breakfast?
15:30No time, really.
15:31I'll grab something later.
15:33You have some, though.
15:34Help yourself to anything you like.
15:35Don't have to rush away.
15:38Don't have any problems with Vera when you get in, will you?
15:40Not going to threaten to chuck you out or anything, is she?
15:41Oh, no.
15:43None anywhere.
15:43Well, Vera's not like that, is she?
15:45Just as well.
15:46It's murder trying to find a decent flat round here.
15:49Well, I thought...
15:53I thought...
15:54Don't bother to do the washing up before you go.
15:57Phyllis is coming over.
15:58She'll take care of all that.
16:01Des?
16:02Yes?
16:04It doesn't matter.
16:07Right.
16:11I'm off.
16:12Oh, while I think on.
16:14What are you doing tonight?
16:15No, not tonight.
16:16I'm stuck tonight.
16:17Next Thursday.
16:17Any idea what you're doing?
16:20Next Thursday?
16:21Yeah, well, Sean Skinner's having a bit of a bash at a club in town, you know.
16:24Should be a good night.
16:26Anyway, if you fancy.
16:27Well, it's hard to see you in the Rovers before then, aren't I?
16:31I expect so.
16:33Like I said, help yourself to anything you want.
16:36And, er, make sure you're locked up by the time you leave, eh?
16:40Some dodgy characters round here, I kill you now.
16:42I'll see ya.
16:48When you say you're looking forward to a break, Mavis,
16:50you mean you're looking forward to a break from me?
16:53You know I'm not.
16:55No, I'm sorry, Mavis.
16:56I don't know any such thing.
16:57I do know you positively leapt at Rita's offer to take you on this glorified boat trip.
17:03Yes, well, of course, I'd much rather have gone with you, Derek.
17:07But then again, you have been on a cruise.
17:09Oh, that was years ago.
17:11Yes, but I haven't forgotten.
17:12And you could have taken me on that cruise, but you took your sister.
17:15Oh, well.
17:16You're gonna rake things up from the dim and distant past.
17:19All right.
17:20Rachel?
17:21Pipe for the old fella.
17:22Oh, thanks, Kev.
17:24Here, er, while I think I'm, there's a good place to eat round here.
17:27Hard house?
17:29No.
17:30A restaurant.
17:31You know, somewhere decent but not too expensive.
17:33Because I'm taking Rita Sullivan out today.
17:35You taking Rita out?
17:36Yeah, what's up?
17:38When did you make that arrangement?
17:40Er, yesterday afternoon, why?
17:41I think you might find it's been cancelled.
17:4490 bits.
17:45It's Nuttall's, innit, that?
17:47My dad drinks Nuisance.
17:48Oh, sorry.
17:49Why me, Raquel?
17:50You should know that.
17:51He sups enough for this, love.
17:52I said I'm sorry.
17:54All right.
17:54It's not an hanging offence.
17:55Leave it there.
17:55I'll sup it.
17:56Pull in my Newtons.
17:58So, er, what's all this about Rita, then?
18:01Er, her and Sally had a big shouting match.
18:04Over the money.
18:05And you.
18:07Harvey Lard, eh?
18:08Good to see it.
18:09No need to ask you what you're having to drink, eh?
18:11I'll have a pint in my homebroker.
18:12Of course you will.
18:13And on the house, eh?
18:15Vera, come here, lovey.
18:16What?
18:16Harvey, let's meet the wife.
18:17Don't laugh.
18:18Vera, love.
18:19This is Harvey Nuttall from Nuttallsbury's.
18:22Oh, hello.
18:23Nice to meet you.
18:25Well, it's you I've come to see, really.
18:27Me?
18:27Yeah.
18:28We throw Christmas lunch for our best customers.
18:31It's this Friday.
18:32I hope you'll come.
18:34Yeah.
18:35You're the licensee.
18:37Oh, well, thanks very much.
18:39It's a sort of thank you for licensees who take our ales.
18:43We'll do us best to see you have a good time.
18:45No, no.
18:46Hey, Harvey, hang on.
18:47It was me who decided to have your ales in the first place, you know.
18:50And it's been a big success for you.
18:52Hasn't it?
18:52Well, no.
18:54And a little bird tells me that you've managed to get yourself a better deal off Newtons on
18:59the same thing.
19:00Hey, do you know, you can't keep a secret in this town, can you?
19:04And I bet you know all the gossip, don't you, Harvey?
19:07Hey, wait while Friday, Vera.
19:08I'll save some juicy bits just for you.
19:10Hey, I can't wait.
19:12Hey, I'll need a new fro.
19:13Hey, now, come on, come on.
19:14It should be me going to this.
19:16You know, all this wining and dining and stuff.
19:18Sorry, Jack.
19:19Licensees lunch, you see.
19:21That's your good lady, isn't it?
19:23Mm.
19:26Sorry I've been so long.
19:27I was packed out at that wholesaler's.
19:30Oh, they give me a bottle of sherry for Christmas.
19:32Oh, that's nice.
19:33Well, I'm not one for sherry.
19:35You have it, eh?
19:36Oh, come on.
19:37Everything all right?
19:39Yes, well, one thing.
19:41Sally Webster came in and stocked her papers.
19:45Oh.
19:46I see.
19:46Have you fallen out with her?
19:48Well, I'll have to keep.
19:52Oh.
19:55I thought I'd better come in.
19:58Because, er, no doubt you'll not be wanting to keep to our arrangement for this evening.
20:02Well, just so there's no misunderstanding, because neither do I.
20:06For one thing, I wouldn't like you thinking that I was wasting Kevin and Sally's money.
20:09Look, Bill...
20:10So I won't be coming.
20:12But, er, as I say, you probably won't be getting ready either, eh?
20:16No.
20:17Well, that's got that straight.
20:21And I'll be paying it back, you know.
20:23Every penny.
20:28Right.
20:29I'm off.
20:30Where's Vera?
20:32I, erm...
20:33I think she's shopping.
20:34Oh.
20:35Jack's not here, then?
20:37Betting shop.
20:38Typical.
20:39Look.
20:40Tell Vera, if we don't get some potatoes, there'll be no hotpot for tomorrow.
20:46Raquel, lovey.
20:49Whatever's to do?
20:51Nothing.
20:53Well, it doesn't look like that, lovey.
20:55Look, whatever it is, it can't be as bad as all that, my love.
21:00Oh, Betty, I'm such a fool.
21:04I'm just...
21:07so stupid.
21:10There's only one thing I'm any good at.
21:14Any good at at all.
21:17That's just being a real stupid cow.
21:22Oh, now, come on.
21:24No, you're not.
21:25You're a very nice girl.
21:28Everybody thinks it, not just me, lovey.
21:33All my life,
21:35I've kidded myself.
21:39Tried to kid other people.
21:43I was going to have a wonderful career, modelling.
21:48Modelling.
21:49Oh, yes, but it's a very tough business, is that?
21:52I mean, there's only room for one or two successful ones, lovey.
21:58I've never had a hope, Betty.
22:02And when it comes to men...
22:05Look, whatever's happened.
22:06I mean, somebody must really have upset you, haven't they?
22:13It's death, you see, death for hands.
22:17I thought he wanted us to start again.
22:21Well, I thought you'd have got the message there, you know.
22:24Well, about him, when we were messing about with Tanya.
22:27Yeah, well, that's what I mean.
22:30That's why I'm so stupid.
22:34Because I thought you were sorry.
22:38I thought you really, truly wanted me.
22:44That it was serious.
22:45Yes.
22:49So I told myself that he were different.
22:53That we could make it work.
22:57And it wasn't what he wanted at all.
23:03He just wanted the use of me.
23:06Oh, come on, love.
23:07I mean, it's not just you, love.
23:11I never learn.
23:14I never learn, Betty.
23:18And now I just feel...
23:22cheap.
23:24And dirty.
23:27And secondhand.
23:29And more than anything...
23:34So stupid.
23:37You're not the first girl, love, that's ever been taken advantage of.
23:41Oh, Betty, I'm nearly 30.
23:44I shouldn't be a pushover for anybody.
23:47But, you see, you've got a lovely nature.
23:51And you trust people, love, eh?
23:55Never again.
23:56Oh, don't say that, love.
23:58Now, don't get hard.
24:00I mean, there's no happiness that way, love.
24:03There are people out in the world, you know, that you can bank on.
24:09What you've got to do, my love, is go and find them.
24:18I'll lock up, you get off home.
24:20Oh, Rita, I know you're feeling badly about this row you had with Sally.
24:24Well, I've done a very silly thing, haven't I?
24:28I'm not sure about Bill Webster.
24:30Maybe he is a bit of a leech and a sponger.
24:33Then again, maybe he's not.
24:35What I do know is, I should have kept my mouth shut.
24:39Well, Sally probably feels just as bad as you do.
24:42Why don't you just go over there?
24:44I don't think so, Mavis.
24:46You see, we said some things, things that can't be unsaid.
24:52Well, everybody says things they don't mean in the heat of an argument.
24:55Yes, I mean, you can forgive them, can't you?
24:59It's the things they say they do mean.
25:02They're the ones that do the damage.
25:04I ordered a large one because our Maureen will be in any minute,
25:08rushing me off home in case Reg phones.
25:10Oh, dear.
25:11It's all right, Maud. I'll do it.
25:13Good car. There you go.
25:14I don't need to count it, do I, seeing as it's you?
25:17And there's not everybody round here that I trust.
25:19He'll have a drink with me.
25:20No, I would, you see, but I've got a lot to do tonight.
25:23Stock sheets I've brought home from work.
25:24They need sorting out. Another time, eh?
25:26Good night. Good night, Raquel.
25:28Good night.
25:29He's a very decent lad, is that?
25:32Hi, Ivy.
25:34Pint to Jim in the same for me, please.
25:36Right, love.
25:37OK, Raquel.
25:38Yeah, I'll tell you what, Desmond,
25:39you're working my wife too hard at that bookmaker, so you are.
25:41She's coming home knackered every night, so she is, eh?
25:44I'm just nipping out for two minutes.
25:46Where you going?
25:47Our Jack's sulking and Des and Jim want serving.
25:50Two minutes, that's all.
25:51They're all so, they're so nice, they're so nice.
25:54They're so nice.
25:57They've gone, me dear.
25:59Oh, no.
26:02Oh, no.
26:04That's right.
26:05Oh, no.
26:05Mm-hmm.
26:09There.
26:16Ugh!
26:23Hi.
26:24Hello.
26:26What's the matter?
26:27Nothing. Are you, er...
26:30You letting me in?
26:31Yeah, yeah, sure, come in, yeah.
26:35So she'll visit, is it?
26:37Well, I can't get up.
26:39We're short-handed at the pub, I just...
26:41Well, no.
26:42I came to say, er...
26:45You remember when we got engaged?
26:49Because you asked me to marry you.
26:53Of course I remember.
26:54What about it?
26:57Do you still want to?
26:59What?
27:00Marry me.
27:02Is this a wind-up, Raquel?
27:04Some gag you've got going at the Rovers?
27:05Because if it is, I've got a lot to do tonight.
27:07No, no, it's a serious question.
27:10I'm asking you seriously if...
27:14marrying me is something you still want.
27:18I mean, if it's not, just so.
27:24You've always known I wanted to marry you.
27:29It wasn't me that broke it off.
27:30Remember?
27:34And the answer to your question is yes.
27:37I would marry you tomorrow if you'd have me.
27:41But if this is just your way of trying to humiliate me...
27:44No, no, it...
27:47What?
27:49Yes, then?
27:55What are you saying to me?
27:58If you still want to marry me, then I'm willing.
28:03Let's get married.
28:04If that's what you still want.
28:08You know it is.
28:10You've always known.
28:15Raquel, do you mean this?
28:16It's not some kind of game.
28:18No.
28:18No, I mean it.
28:20Let's get married.
28:22As soon as we can.
28:27Raquel.
28:31This is wonderful.
28:34I can't stop.
28:36Vera will go spare.
28:37She's on her own.
28:39I'm not dreaming this.
28:41We're getting married.
28:44We're getting married.
29:04Come in.
29:08Now, was I dreaming last night or did you and me decide that we were getting married?
29:13Oh, come in here.
29:15Well, when I say we decided, it was more a case of you decided.
29:19Have you thought better of it?
29:21No, no, no.
29:22I want to marry you.
29:23If you still want me to.
29:24Yes, I do.
29:30Raquel.
29:31I love you.
29:32I'm mad about you.
29:33I always have been.
29:35Anyway, about the wedding arrangements, I'd like it to be as soon as possible.
29:39Steve and Vicky, I think they found they needed three days.
29:41Hang on, hang on.
29:42There's all sorts of things that need organising first.
29:45I mean, where do you want it?
29:45In a church or what?
29:46I mean, I'm not bothered either way.
29:48And there's who you want there.
29:49And then there's reception.
29:50You know, you've not been listening.
29:51I want it as soon as you can fix it.
29:53I don't want a reception.
29:55I don't want any guests either.
29:57No guests?
29:58No guests.
29:59No guests.
29:59No.
30:00And I don't want you to tell anybody it's a secret.
30:03Just us.
30:04Till we're married.
30:05Then you can tell whoever you like.
30:07Why?
30:09Well, it's just how I would like it if it doesn't suit you.
30:14No, no.
30:15I mean, I'm not bothered.
30:16I mean, I suppose.
30:18I mean, I just, I thought you wanted a big deal, that's all.
30:20No.
30:21I just, I just want us to be married.
30:23It's nothing to do with anybody else.
30:26All right.
30:27Any way you want it.
30:28Yeah, just fix it quick as you can, you know me.
30:31Why give me time to change my mind again?
30:33Who's down there?
30:35Is that Curly Watts?
30:37What's he doing here?
30:38He's just going.
30:39I suppose it were him you stopped out all night with.
30:46Oh, Curly, you're early.
30:50Yeah, yeah.
30:52I say, Reggie's ever so busy in Lowestop.
30:54Well, he was telling me on the phone last night it's non-stop.
30:57Mind you, you must be struggling a bit without him.
31:00Hmm?
31:02Maureen?
31:03Hmm?
31:04You're a woman.
31:06Well, I'm so glad you've noticed.
31:09Can I, as a friend, can I ask your advice on something?
31:16Morning.
31:17Hello, Betty.
31:18Oh, you look a bit brighter.
31:20Are you feeling any better today?
31:21Yes, I am.
31:22Oh, good for you, love.
31:24Men.
31:25There's not one of them worth losing their night's sleep over.
31:28Yeah.
31:29I know that, Betty.
31:32What?
31:33Nobody at all?
31:35No best man?
31:37I mean, no bridesmaid for her, even.
31:41Well, we didn't actually discuss that.
31:43Oh.
31:43But no, no.
31:44I don't think so.
31:45No.
31:47And she wants you to keep it a secret?
31:50Yes.
31:51Oh.
31:52I shouldn't even be telling you.
31:54But Maureen, I had to talk to someone.
31:58Well, I won't breathe the word Curly.
32:00You've no need to worry.
32:02Thanks.
32:05So what do you think?
32:09Well, it's a very strange wedding.
32:12There's no two ways about it.
32:18Well, what should I do?
32:25Are you, um, are you, um, in love with her?
32:33Well, you know, I, um...
32:35There's no point in being embarrassed, Curly.
32:37This is very, very important.
32:42Do you love Raquel?
32:47Yes.
32:50I love her.
32:57And I want to spend the rest of my life with her.
33:03Well, there's your answer then.
33:07And if this is what she wants, you must go along with it.
33:13And, Curly...
33:16I think she's a very, very lucky woman.
33:21Well, I best get back. See ya.
33:23Liz.
33:25You're a married woman.
33:27Bye, Eck. Am I a married woman?
33:30Well, I mean...
33:32You've been married a long time.
33:33You're still together, you and Jim.
33:36Yeah.
33:38I suppose the main thing for a good marriage,
33:41it's like...
33:43respecting each other as people.
33:45Feeling comfortable with each other and that.
33:49Come on.
33:50It might be when you're 60,
33:52but when it's your age,
33:53it's if you're looking forward to bedtime.
33:55Or, er, dreading it.
33:57At my age, too, come to that.
34:00I've got to dash.
34:01See ya.
34:07There you are, love.
34:08Thanks very much.
34:09You know as much about ale as I do about flaming dressmaking.
34:13Oh, stop moaning.
34:15Nuttall's breweries invite me to their Christmas lunch on Friday.
34:18Oh, well, I hope you enjoy it.
34:20Oh, I will, no danger.
34:21I'm not letting misery guts say stop me.
34:26Hello, Kevin.
34:27Afternoon.
34:28Two pints, please, Jack.
34:30Afternoon, Racka.
34:31Des, Des.
34:32Will you come and have a word with the wife?
34:34She's been invited to the brewery Christmas, do.
34:37Will you tell her?
34:38They've only done it out of politeness.
34:40And I'm only going out of politeness.
34:42Yes, but you are expected to say no thank you very much.
34:45My husband, who knows more about ale than I do,
34:48will come in my place.
34:49Get bad.
34:51Do I look as if I came floating down the air?
34:53Will I have my mother's piano?
34:56See what I mean.
34:57Racka.
34:58Oh, hello.
34:59Friday afternoon, the registry office.
35:02Does that suit you?
35:03Well, if that's as soon as we can get.
35:05It is.
35:06Fine.
35:07Listen, Racka, I don't mind doing this your way.
35:10But I'm telling you this.
35:11We're going away.
35:12You must have some holidays due,
35:14so tell Jack and Vera that you're taking them,
35:16starting Friday morning.
35:18Yeah, okay.
35:20Yeah.
35:20Be nice to get away.
35:22I'll book her something really good.
35:24I've already told work that I'm taking my entitlement.
35:29Raquel.
35:31There's something I have to ask you.
35:34Why are we doing this on the quiet,
35:36and why can't I tell anybody?
35:40So nobody gets the chance to talk me out of it.
35:43And nobody can talk you out of it.
35:45They couldn't.
35:48Maybe they're good if they knew what to tell you.
35:55Listen, I'm going to go and fix out on your move.
35:59Fine, please, love.
36:02Cheers, mate. Look, I'll be right back.
36:04All right.
36:08Hiya.
36:09Listen, erm,
36:10I've got the day off on Friday,
36:11so I was thinking,
36:13maybe when you finish here at lunchtime,
36:15you might pop across the road, you know,
36:16for a little session.
36:19Friday?
36:19Erm,
36:21I think I'm busy.
36:22Oh, well.
36:23You know where I'll be if, er,
36:24turns out you're not.
36:35Sunliners?
36:36Er, could I speak to Alec Gilroy, please?
36:43Alec!
36:44It's Curly Watts here.
36:46No, no.
36:47It's got nothing to do with Vicky.
36:49No.
36:49No, not bet either.
36:52Listen, I'm after a cruise.
36:54A decent cabin for two.
36:56Yeah, well, maybe, well,
36:59a thousand pounds,
37:00or, or, or maybe...
37:02Well, it's a lot to me, mate.
37:05Yeah, I want it quick.
37:07Friday.
37:09Yes.
37:10This Friday.
37:21Oh, thank you.
37:23Derek, look.
37:24It's bad enough trying to pack at the last minute
37:26without you interfering.
37:27I am entitled to ask, Mavis.
37:29Why are you taking a dance dress?
37:31No, it is not a dance dress.
37:32It's a dress for evening wear.
37:35And I'm taking it for the same reason
37:37that I'm not taking a pair of Wellingtons and an anorak.
37:40Well, I still say...
37:40Oh, Derek, look.
37:42It's Friday morning.
37:44Rita and I hope to set off in a few hours,
37:46and she still has to show you how to run the cabin.
37:48Now, look, she's waiting for you.
37:50All right, all right.
37:50I'm going to take the seats.
37:52I still think you should take your anorak.
37:54You'll probably have vile weather.
38:19Yeah.
38:19Yeah.
38:20I'm okay, yeah.
38:20Can I come in for a minute?
38:22Yeah, yeah, of course, yeah.
38:27I've come to wish you good luck,
38:29because, well, it's today, isn't it?
38:32Yeah.
38:33All being well.
38:35If Raquel shows up.
38:36Of course she'll show up.
38:38Look, I've brought you these.
38:40Oh, thank you, Maureen.
38:43I mean, that's very, very kind.
38:45Well, I wanted you and Raquel to have something.
38:48Hey, let her think it's your idea.
38:50Yeah.
38:51What do you mean, if she shows up?
38:53You really don't think she won't, do you?
38:56Well, I'm just holding me breath.
38:58Until we're married.
39:00I mean, we were engaged before.
39:02And she changed her mind.
39:04Oh, Curly, that was totally different then.
39:08She won't let you down.
39:11What if she's got any sense?
39:17Listen, I'm going to this brewery, too, because my name's above the door.
39:21That's why I'm going.
39:22Well, don't buy anything.
39:23If I'm crying out loud, don't sign out.
39:25What are you talking about?
39:26Because they want to sell you something.
39:27Something like their barley wine or the mid-light special or something.
39:30Well, what's that midnight special?
39:33You see, that's what I mean.
39:34You don't know nought about ale, do you?
39:37I'm off, then.
39:38All right, love.
39:39Listen, I know all I need to know about ale.
39:42Because I know where it ends up.
39:44See you, then.
39:45Well, it's no good knowing where it ends up.
39:46It's what goes in it in the first place that you've got to know.
39:50Where's she going?
39:51Oh, Raquel.
39:52She's gone on holiday.
39:53She had ten days coming.
39:54You've let her go on holiday?
39:56Well, that's it.
39:57We're short-staffed.
39:57You can't go to this brewery, do you?
39:59You want to bet?
40:20Hi.
40:21Come here, take a seat.
40:22Dad.
40:23You all right?
40:24Yeah.
40:27I'll take your coat off.
40:29I've ordered a cab at 1.30.
40:31Not Don Brennan?
40:33Oh, no, no!
40:34Nobody local.
40:35Please, come on through.
40:38Come on.
40:44Have you had any breakfast?
40:45No, I'm not.
40:47No, well, I didn't think you would.
40:49But I think we should eat something.
40:51We've got a few hours to kill, and I think it's a good idea.
40:55I don't think I want anything. You have something.
41:00Nah.
41:01Nah, I won't bother.
41:04I'm all butterflies myself.
41:07I didn't get much sleep last night.
41:10Wondering whether you'd come.
41:12I don't blame you for not trusting me.
41:15Oh, no, no. I do trust you. I do.
41:19I see you, er...
41:22Where did you buy them? You didn't get them locally, did you?
41:25Cos if you did, it'd be all round streets.
41:27No, no. Nowhere from round here.
41:30Raquel, nobody knows anything.
41:33Nobody.
41:35Oh.
41:37Come on, Jack, we're spitting feathers here.
41:39It's a plastering, Jack.
41:41There's nothing like plastering to get to your throat, you know what I'm saying?
41:43Now, come on, lads. I've only got one pair of flaming hands.
41:46Oh, hiya, Phyllis.
41:48Same again.
41:49When you're ready, Jack, please.
41:50One pair of hands.
41:52I've done your shirts, love.
41:54I've had a tidy round.
41:56Oh, goodness.
41:57What can I do without you, eh?
41:58Like you're always doing.
42:00You're a bad lad.
42:01Hey.
42:01All right.
42:02I found this on the bed.
42:04All right, ta.
42:05Who's is it?
42:06Oh, nobody you know.
42:07Yes, please, Jack.
42:09Betty?
42:10Yes.
42:10Where's Raquel?
42:11She's not working.
42:12Is she in the back?
42:13No, she's out.
42:14Right.
42:15Will you tell her I'll be...
42:16Well, she'll know where I'll be.
42:17Yeah.
42:18Tell her I've got something for her.
42:19Right.
42:22When you're ready, Jack, sometime today.
42:49What's...
42:50And, um, Rulston here.
42:54Oh, yes.
42:56You're very early.
42:57Yes.
42:58You see, the thing is, we haven't got any witnesses.
43:02Nobody at all?
43:03No.
43:04So I was wondering if there was any people here who would...
43:07I'll see what I can do.
43:21They're trying to find us on the witnesses.
43:24If all else fails, I'll go out onto the street and ask a couple of people.
43:29You know, offer them a tenner or something.
43:33We flower straight.
43:35Yeah.
43:39Are you nervous?
43:41No.
43:43I am.
43:45I've never done this before.
43:50I think I'll, er, go to the ladies.
44:12Now, babies.
44:13Babies, ring me.
44:14Ring me from Southampton.
44:16Yes, I will.
44:17I should be listening to the shipping news on the wireless.
44:19Come on, Mavis, let's get on.
44:21And you will eat properly.
44:22Yes, yes.
44:23Yes, I shall survive.
44:25Oh, Rita.
44:26I think I'm going to be sick.
44:28You dare.
44:38Notice the excitement.
44:40I mean, here we are, setting off into the unknown.
44:44Life's uncharted waters.
44:55You know, it's time.
45:02Yes.
45:03Yes.
45:03I'm going to be closer.
45:04Again, I'm going to be, tulew guy's, now.
45:06I've heard a little bit from you.
45:07Let's get in from you today, what is day to you?
45:08That's really good.
45:09It's really accurate.
45:14And here, I want to say theuju committee.
45:15I need a little польз to you.
46:23There's a girl in the ladies and she's sobbing her heart out.
46:31I thought you lads were doing a bit of plastering today.
46:33Yes, we are, Jack.
46:34We're doing the do-it-yourself variety, you know.
46:37We'll be plastered when we go out of here, do you?
46:39Right.
46:40I'm off then, Jack.
46:41Oh, now, come on, Betty.
46:42You're leaving me on me tod.
46:43No, nod.
46:44The boss is here.
46:47Jack, I'm home.
46:49Oh, that's horrific.
46:50Oh, do you know, I've had a lovely time.
46:52Do you know, they couldn't do enough for me.
46:55I'll tell you what, I didn't forget you.
46:57Hail, you're a pheasant.
46:59Was that it?
47:01There's times I've said that to you.
47:03Was that it?
47:04Yeah, I'm not kidding.
