00:00Approximately
00:30Good God, Michelle, you're noisier than Den.
00:32I'm sorry, Ange.
00:34Oh, look at the carpet.
00:37I never knew it had so many colours in it.
00:39You pleased?
00:39Yeah, it's smashing, darling. Thanks.
00:44Leave the machine, kept me awake half the night.
00:47She's done a good job, though, Ange, hasn't she?
00:49You might as well have done it myself for all the sleep I got.
00:51Oh, come on, Ange, credit where credit's due.
00:53Well, she has done a good job, I must say.
00:55It's lovely, Michelle.
00:58Oh, my feet are all wet.
01:00No wonder.
01:02The carpet's soaked right through to me slippers, look.
01:05Oh, Den.
01:06She's right.
01:07Well, look, you've got to use water when you're shampooing a carpet.
01:09Sweetheart, you could baptise children in there.
01:12Now, don't talk stupid, but just open the door and let some air in.
01:15Be right as rain.
01:17Blimey, you're bright and early.
01:18Well, makes a change, doesn't it?
01:20Yeah, it says here you've got to allow six hours for it to dry.
01:23When did you finish doing it?
01:24Most of it, about five this morning.
01:26There was stains, you see.
01:27I had to use that stuff on a knee first.
01:29It took me ages.
01:30I've only just finished them.
01:31I shall miss that one in the corner.
01:33Ooh, like an old familiar friend passing over.
01:37Yeah, five plus six makes eleven.
01:39Oh, brilliant, Denison.
01:41We open at hour past ten.
01:42What are we going to do?
01:43Is she flip us?
01:44Yeah.
01:44How about air dryer?
01:46How about a pump?
01:47Oh, shut up the pair of you.
01:50Look, I'd better be going.
01:51The draft will dry, I expect.
01:53Well, it better ride, eh, darling?
01:55Rollie.
01:56Rollie.
01:57Rollie, get off the carpet.
02:00Here you go.
02:01Jill.
02:01I was coming down to the gym last time.
02:03Can you have a look, Renz?
02:03Oh, I can't.
02:04Oh, lovely.
02:05We'll have the Oliver Square in here next day and even had a cup of tea yet.
02:08I can't.
02:09I've got all my chores to do.
02:10I got real punk or Pete out and then washed the doc's car.
02:12Dennis, why don't you go outside and get a few passes by to pop in as well?
02:17Give it a rest, eh, Ange?
02:18If you want company, I'll come with you.
02:20I'll have a good fight.
02:22Yeah, be okay, Fulham.
02:24I'm off too.
02:25Off to stage two of the money-making business.
02:27Talking a witch.
02:29Don't you want this, darling?
02:30Yeah, thanks, then.
02:31That's what it's all about, innit?
02:31Yeah, see you later, love.
02:32Cheers.
02:34Oh, will you get off the carpet?
02:38Oh, there you are.
02:39You look like it'd be anywhere else, am I?
02:41Right, I'm off.
02:42Hey, you haven't dried it yet.
02:43Well, I can't afford them things.
02:45Besides, use the extractor.
02:46Now, see ya.
02:47Sorry, I'm late.
02:49I'm still sure you want a service wash.
02:50No, no.
02:52Can't be two places at once, can I?
02:54Now, calm down, Cav.
02:55Nobody said you could be.
02:57By the way, you can tell Michelle that I found the curlers,
03:00so she didn't even bother.
03:02You found the curlers, right.
03:04Now, what's wrong?
03:06Oh, it's all too much.
03:07What is?
03:08Looking after this place, them, is mum.
03:12I've had enough.
03:14Well, surely you could get someone to stand in for you here.
03:18Oh, yeah?
03:19Like who?
03:20Oi, hang on.
03:25Usual.
03:25What's that supposed to mean?
03:27There must be loads of people wanting to do a bit of extra work.
03:30Look at Ian.
03:30Oh, he's a bloke.
03:32He wouldn't want to know about this.
03:33Why not?
03:34Hey, I know him.
03:35He's got a stall down the market.
03:37I could nip down there and ask him what his usual is.
03:39Good night.
03:40Don't bother.
03:41I do what I think.
03:42Serves him right.
03:43Why wouldn't a bloke want to work here?
03:46What?
03:46For a pendant hour?
03:47Don't make me laugh.
03:48No bloke would ever stand for it.
03:50There must be somebody.
03:52Anyway, a man would only make a mess of it.
03:54Well, it's not that difficult, is it?
03:55Ain't it?
03:57Look at that for a start.
03:58That's typical, that is.
03:59You've got to be telepathic on top of everything else.
04:01I told you I'd nip round here and ask him what his usual is.
04:03Keep over, Arthur.
04:04I ain't got time to check out on every Tom Dick and Harry who comes in here.
04:08I've got to clean machines, fill that thing up with packets of soap powder,
04:11do service washes, empty bins,
04:13not to mention having to be a referee while people are waiting for dryers.
04:16It just never stops.
04:18That doesn't sound too bad.
04:19A bloke could probably make a better job of it, as a matter of fact.
04:22Is that so?
04:23All right then, Arthur.
04:25You get on with it, then.
04:28You're on.
04:29You're not serious.
04:30Why not?
04:31Where's the instruction book for these machines?
04:33Well, that would own our darn finger, though.
04:35All right, all right, I'll find it.
04:37What are you hanging about for?
04:38Go home?
04:40Shredded wheat, is that all you had for your breakfast, son?
04:42It's all I wanted, Arthur, not all I got.
04:44Yes, but you don't want to take any notice of all that stuff they put in the adverts.
04:49I thought they were going to give you extra protein to build you up,
04:52you know, special diets and all that.
04:55That's only if you're going there for weightlifting seriously.
04:57You know, Grandma made me have some fish fingers.
04:59Oh, well.
05:00Well, if it's protein you want, I'll treat.
05:05Do you know there's more vitamin C in a bag of chips than there is in an oven?
05:11Oh, rubbish.
05:12There is.
05:14Go home.
05:15That's a joke, isn't it?
05:17Walk out, Gil.
05:18I would.
05:18I'm not you, Ange.
05:20Well, there's always a spare room at my place.
05:22You know that?
05:23Oh, yeah.
05:23How's it going?
05:24Well, it's not exactly love's young dream, but still.
05:28Worst of it is, I feel really blimmin' guilty.
05:31Why?
05:32Well, I think what Pauline and Arthur have had to put up with.
05:34You don't want to feel guilty.
05:36You've done enough.
05:38You know what?
05:38I'm hungry.
05:39Must be all that adrenaline.
05:41I don't go over anything, no, Ange.
05:42I'll knock a block off if I do.
05:44Good thing if you did, if you ask me.
05:47My feet ache.
05:48Well, don't take your shoes off, because the carpet's still wet.
05:50Yeah.
05:51He must have drenched him.
05:53You're all right.
05:54I hope it don't shrink.
05:55That's all I need.
05:56Oh, God.
05:57Sharp!
05:58Sharp!
05:59Early to you?
06:01Yeah.
06:03Now, I wanted to catch you when you were quiet.
06:06Hey, Ben.
06:06About that conversion, Chuck.
06:08Still being considered by the brewery, mate.
06:10You'll be the first to know.
06:11Oh, fair enough.
06:12Anyway, I thought you had enough on your plate getting your own place ready.
06:15A bit of a cash-filled problem, you know what I mean?
06:18Only too well.
06:19Excuse me, gents.
06:20I hope I'm not interrupting anything.
06:21Like what?
06:23Nothing.
06:24Nothing.
06:26You never know what's going on their heads, do you?
06:29Too true.
06:30It could be up to all sorts.
06:32Why?
06:32You got your suspicions of it?
06:35Well, you're not going to believe this, mate.
06:37But for a while back there, I thought it was you that was knocking her off.
06:53Full house.
06:55Thanks.
06:59What are you doing in here?
07:01I'm getting food poisoning by the looks of it.
07:03Shh.
07:04What's Michelle doing on the stall?
07:05No, running a pound note.
07:07Supposed to be doing the clock's car, but he's gone out on a few calls.
07:10I don't believe it.
07:11I was at the long dread.
07:12Yeah.
07:13Yeah.
07:13Fair enough family.
07:13Done a takeover for it, haven't I?
07:14You could say that again.
07:18Look, let's go on the leads.
07:20Oh, that's a joke.
07:21Why do you think I'm in here?
07:23Look, if you're spoiling for a rare, let's at least have it in private.
07:26Right?
07:26Marius, chance will be a fine thing.
07:29Okay.
07:30Yeah, it's all right.
07:30I just wasn't hungry, that's all.
07:32I'll see you later.
07:33It's all right, Sue.
07:38I've paid for the cooker so they won't be repossessing it, okay, Sue?
07:42And I told Lofty not to sell the cave, the M.O.T.'s kosher, and the insurance, and the tax.
07:50God almighty, Sue.
07:52Have you seen what you're actually dishing out to the customers?
07:55Look at it.
07:57For God's sake, look at it.
08:00Look at it!
08:02What are you trying to do, Sue?
08:05As if it isn't bad enough, you're standing about this place looking like a moron.
08:08You've got to poison the customers as well.
08:12Want to ruin us now, do you?
08:13On top of everything else.
08:15That'd be just a ticket, eh?
08:17Ruin us now.
08:20What's the matter with you?
08:22Why don't you say something?
08:23Why don't you cry?
08:25I don't know what you're making me this fuss about, Ali.
08:28I've got work to do.
08:31The place is filthy, Sue.
08:35Look, why don't you go out for a bit?
08:36I'll hold the fort here.
08:38Where'd I go?
08:39I don't know.
08:40For a walk or something.
08:41On me own?
08:43Do you want me to come with you?
08:46Why don't you go to the...
08:47No.
08:48I'm not going there.
08:49It'd help you cry if you saw the grave, Sue.
08:51No.
08:53I've got shopping to do.
08:56Yeah, you do that then.
08:57Do some shopping, Sue.
08:59I'll see you later, yeah?
09:07Look at this.
09:09You used to be able to see your face in that.
09:10It's only a little bit of grease.
09:12It's burnt on.
09:13You should have seen hers.
09:14Whose?
09:15Oh, Sue's.
09:17Well, what do you want?
09:17I feel sorry for him.
09:19Oh, fish fingers would do.
09:20Why him?
09:21You know that suffering.
09:23You've only got to look to see.
09:25It's empty.
09:26Fancy putting an empty packet of fish fingers back in the fridge.
09:29Well, maybe...
09:30That just about does it, that does.
09:31Well, maybe that's where she's gone to get some more.
09:33That's not the point, Pete.
09:35I could have got someone else at shopping this morning.
09:37It doesn't matter.
09:38Anything to do.
09:39I don't know what's going on in me own home.
09:41There's only fish fingers.
09:43It ain't, Pete.
09:44It's everything.
09:45This ain't my home anymore.
09:46It's your bloody mother's.
09:50We shall all get some fish and chips.
09:52Get what you like.
09:55What you doing, you silly cow?
09:56I feel like a lodger here.
09:58Well, I might as well be a lodger then.
10:00Only tonight I'm going to lodge somewhere else.
10:03Don't be stupid, love.
10:06Come on, son.
10:08Follow me.
10:09I thought we'd be having a bit more than a look around today.
10:11Don't do the rush thing, son.
10:13Yeah.
10:14I've never did five glance while you've been in there.
10:17What do I know to do about all the while?
10:19Ah, he's going on about not using apparatus for that suit of vision,
10:22locking up the weights, something.
10:23You know, that sort of thing.
10:24Better be safe than sorry, son.
10:26Come on.
10:27I'll give you a look around.
10:29I thought you were with me mother.
10:31Mate.
10:36I'm Eccle Skinner.
10:44Who might you be under all them muscles?
10:47Ernie Mears.
10:48You're not.
10:49I am.
10:50You can't be.
10:52Not the one I knew.
10:54I am.
10:55Hello, little girl.
10:56But he was so wheezy.
10:58Yeah, well, I've got a taste of it.
11:01Do you work here?
11:02Yeah.
11:03Not an old-timer like me.
11:05I was a pro once.
11:06I can't keep away at all.
11:08Hang about.
11:09Give him a bit of advice from time to time.
11:13You, er...
11:13You like boxing, do you?
11:15Oh, yes.
11:16I was watching under the belly.
11:20Oh, she was a corker when she was younger.
11:24Still is, eh?
11:25You married Bill Skinner, didn't you?
11:27I did.
11:28Yeah, well, you can't win them all.
11:30Still got lovely legs, though, haven't you?
11:33We do all sorts here, you know.
11:35And all footballs, karate.
11:38We've got mats for that, of course.
11:42Hey.
11:44Women do that, Ethel.
11:45Oh.
11:46Why don't you come along and learn to phone your husband?
11:49Well, I will, yeah.
11:51Yeah.
11:52It's a pity, isn't it?
11:54God.
11:56Something else has died in here, if you ask me.
11:59Here, come along, boy.
12:00I'll give you some sparring, don't you worry.
12:01When you get in trouble?
12:02Oh, me.
12:03I'm unofficial, how could I?
12:05Here.
12:07Where's the changing room?
12:10You haven't reformed, have you, Ethel girl?
12:13You won't be safe in there.
12:15You can't go in there.
12:17No one will attack her.
12:18It's not her I'm worrying about.
12:19Here.
12:20You've got showers here as well.
12:22Oh, oh.
12:23See what I mean?
12:26No, it's far too crammed.
12:29The soapy water won't reach the dirt.
12:32There.
12:33You know, you've got two machines worth, dear.
12:36I only ever used one.
12:37Well, you should use two.
12:40Are you on a commission or something?
12:43For one thing, you get a cleaner wash,
12:45and for another,
12:45these machines only supposed to take 11 pounds of washings.
12:49Look.
12:50So, you see,
12:51you can save my machines from breaking down as well.
12:53Oh, your machines?
12:55Well, then my responsibility.
12:56Now, wouldn't it be more sensible
12:57to just split this lot up into whites and colours?
13:00Then you can put whites in one
13:02and then the colours in another.
13:04You think so?
13:05Well, it stands to reason, doesn't it?
13:07You've got it all worked out, haven't you?
13:09Go on, have it your own way.
13:11Two machines.
13:12Right.
13:14Hello.
13:14Thought I'd find you in here.
13:16Who told you?
13:17Oh, you're famous, you are.
13:18The old square knows about you being in here.
13:20Do you want some change?
13:21Yes, please.
13:22Right.
13:22Here you are, Gunn.
13:24Right, lovely.
13:26Where's that?
13:27I don't know.
13:29Here, have we got any of that instant glue stuff?
13:31Yeah, it's in my toolbox.
13:33No, it's in my sock drawer.
13:34Oh.
13:35What do you want it for?
13:36Well, you know that little wedgewood trinket box for Mum's,
13:38the one she keeps on her dressing table?
13:40Yeah.
13:41Well, I found it in pieces on the floor this morning
13:43when I was tidying up.
13:45Michelle?
13:47Don't sit there.
13:48Oh, don't have a go.
13:49I can't stand it.
13:52What's this?
13:54That's a list of service washes
13:56and the times when they've got to be ready.
13:57You see, you've got to have a system for me.
13:59Oh, I see.
14:00Here, I can see I'm going to have to fight you
14:02to get me job back.
14:04Hello, Sue.
14:14Why don't you sit down, Sue,
14:16and let me do this, eh?
14:18Go on.
14:19That's good, yeah.
14:21Uh, in the sock drawer, you said, Arthur?
14:23Yeah, that's right.
14:24OK, bye-bye.
14:25Bye, Sue.
14:25Bye, Sue.
14:27Oh, speak of the devil.
14:30Many people have taken offence
14:32at that remark, Pauline.
14:33Oh, sorry, I spoke.
14:34Who rubbed you up the wrong way today?
14:36Don't ask.
14:37Where's Kathy?
14:38She's been made redundant.
14:39You've got a new little workmate now.
14:42Not him.
14:43I have got a name, you know.
14:45Oh, ma'am, wouldn't have the first idea.
14:47I said I have got a name, you know.
14:49Uh, yes, well, I think I'll be getting along.
14:51I'll leave you to it, Arthur.
14:52Bye.
14:53Bye.
14:53See ya.
14:55I think you'll find everything in order.
14:57I've introduced a few innovations that might interest you.
14:59You've got to have a system, you see.
15:01So, how long's this going on for?
15:03Oh, whenever, I suppose I'm enjoying myself.
15:06Good.
15:06How do you like to enjoy yourself a bit more?
15:09Pardon?
15:10Work my shift this afternoon.
15:13What?
15:13Overtime on me first day?
15:15Well, I've got to see a specialist, see.
15:18About me eyes.
15:19They think it's them what might be causing me dizzy spells.
15:22Well, you toddle off then, Doc.
15:24Securing the knowledge that your little empire is in good hands.
15:30Right.
15:32I'll see you tomorrow, then.
15:34Thank you, Arthur.
15:35Very kind of you to do my shift for me.
15:37Yeah, I appreciate it.
15:39You're a good bloke, Arthur.
15:42Why, come on, box on me.
15:43Yes.
15:44I bet you won a few medals in your time.
15:47I did.
15:48That's the new old man.
15:50How did he get off with you?
15:52Well, what made you take it up?
15:54I mean, you used to be such a gentle soul.
15:57Yeah.
15:58Well, like you said, I was weeding.
16:01I had to do something to attract the women.
16:02Mind you, I'll never have much luck with you.
16:05What's the footwork, boys?
16:07Bend the knees.
16:08Keep your feet apart.
16:15It isn't you, is it?
16:17It isn't what?
16:20It's a bloody dog.
16:22What should you feed it on?
16:23Well, dog food.
16:25I should change the brand.
16:28Front foot flat on the floor, Ian.
16:31That's better.
16:32Is that why he's going in for boxing?
16:34Well, I...
16:34To attract the women?
16:36I believe he's a gentle soul, like you.
16:39Oh, come on, Ethel.
16:41It's only the dog object, too.
16:44It's not you.
16:46Oh!
16:50Keep your guard up, you pillock!
16:54Hey, thanks, Angie.
16:55Hey, you seem much happier, if you don't mind me saying so.
16:58Oh, I am, really.
17:00I mean, I'm a bit on edge, you know, what we've been on the wagon and all.
17:03After all these years, eh?
17:05Who'd have thought Den and me would have got it together?
17:07I'm glad for you.
17:09Honest, I am.
17:09Oh, it's very nice of your time.
17:11Thanks.
17:12Are you all right?
17:13Oh, yeah.
17:14I've got my son living with me now.
17:16When I can see him, that is.
17:17Yeah, there can be a bit of a pain sometimes, can't I?
17:21Yes.
17:21Hey, look, Angie.
17:22I'm sorry if I made things a bit difficult for you.
17:25No, no, you didn't.
17:26Yeah, it's just that, what, with the divorce and all that, you know how it is.
17:30Makes you want to blame the woman all the time.
17:33No, I am glad things are working out for you.
17:36Oh, thanks, Tom.
17:38As soon as we get the go-head on the conversion job, you'll be the first to know I...
17:41Oh, I'd appreciate that.
17:43Okay.
17:44Three and a half metres a cup of piping.
17:49I hate them.
17:56If you've come for a service whilst you're too late, I'm locking up, Doc.
18:00Have all the women gone on strike around here?
18:02What do you mean?
18:03I've just been to the cafe to see Sue and Ali's spring cleaning.
18:06Is he doing a good job of it?
18:08Yeah, he is, as a matter of fact.
18:09I don't know why women make all the fuss.
18:11Yes, I really don't.
18:12The trouble with them is, and I found this out when I was first out of work, they don't
18:15read the instruction book.
18:16They just barge straight in and hope for the best.
18:19Now, suppose a man did that, you know, servicing a car or something.
18:23They're just not systematic, you know.
18:25I don't know why we let them loose around the house.
18:27I don't care any.
18:28Now, me, I go by the book.
18:30Hey, have you found me sock?
18:32Oh, take a look up there.
18:33Oh, what's this?
18:35That's where I pull the spare socks that get left behind.
18:38Tell at a glance, you see?
18:39System.
18:40You might have told me.
18:42I'm sorry.
18:43I'd have told you later.
18:45Yeah, I've been fiddling with this for half the afternoon.
18:47I'm sorry.
18:48So you should be.
18:50I don't know.
18:50Your dad's got a point.
18:52Oh, don't start that again.
18:54You do look tired.
18:56Yeah, I am tired.
18:58Been up half the night at the Vic shampoo in the carpet, bottling up, working the stall.
19:02I've got gran's hair to do and a doc's car to clean.
19:05Mind you, that might have to wait till Monday now.
19:06Oh, yeah, your auntie, Kath, says she's found her curlers.
19:09Well, that's something, I suppose.
19:12I'd better get going.
19:13But you haven't had your tea.
19:15It's all right.
19:15I'll have something to eat round now.
19:17I don't want to be around when he gets in.
19:19Oh, don't be like that.
19:21At least I'm selling gran's good books.
19:24Oh.
19:25Oh, now, don't get upset, Ethel.
19:27It's a nice little dog.
19:28What's your best friend never told you?
19:31Oh, we've told you now, Ethel.
19:32Yes, but he's only human.
19:34Yeah, but the smell.
19:35It follows him everywhere.
19:37It's attached to him.
19:38Like on his coat.
19:39It's probably saying you rolled him.
19:41I feel so ashamed.
19:43Well, it's not as if it was you.
19:44It's only your dog.
19:45Yes, but he's part of me.
19:47I mean, fancy Ernie smelling it.
19:49Oh, it's not your fault.
19:51Look, thanks for the tea, Ethel.
19:53Feel better, do you?
19:54Not so sore there.
19:57You look all right.
19:58You can go home.
19:59Oh, I feel such a wally.
20:00I mean, hardly did anything.
20:02Yes, but he had a good right hook, didn't he?
20:04Oh, he's okay.
20:05He just needs to get fit, this all.
20:07Yeah, and so are you, Ethel.
20:08You're okay.
20:09It's just your dog we've fallen out with.
20:14I don't want to be like your mother, Said, or mine.
20:17I am not asking you to be.
20:18But that's what I'd become if we had children now.
20:21I'd be trapped.
20:23No, Said, we're not ready for that yet.
20:25A trap?
20:26I want to do more with my life than just have children.
20:29And so do I.
20:30I'm not going to be a shop assistant forever.
20:33So, er, what do you want to do?
20:37I've got to find out.
20:40Anyway, I still don't see why we had to close the shop earlier.
20:42Dan the shop!
20:44Look, Neymar!
20:48Do you think I agreed to marry you just so that I could serve in a shop from morning till
20:51night?
20:53Why did you marry me, then?
20:55There is so much else.
20:57Like what?
21:00I want to do something.
21:02Maybe study.
21:03I don't know.
21:06So why did you marry me, then?
21:08You know why.
21:09No, I don't.
21:11It was arranged.
21:13You didn't have to agree.
21:14So why did you?
21:17I thought so long as we drew up a working contract...
21:20Which we did.
21:20Which we did?
21:21Yeah.
21:22Things would be all right.
21:24You could have stayed with your parents and not got married.
21:27Then there'd have been no need of a contract.
21:30Don't be silly.
21:31I am not silly.
21:33I am not as silly as you think I am.
21:37I know why you married me.
21:39Then why ask?
21:40Because you thought that as a married woman with a contract drawn up to suit yourself,
21:44you'd have more freedom than you had living with your family.
21:48Am I right?
21:52I am.
21:55You used me, didn't you?
21:58You used me.
22:01Saeed!
22:02And you aren't going to use me anymore.
22:05Saeed!
22:06What are you going to do?
22:09What do you care?
22:11I ain't your husband.
22:13I'm just an unwilling partner in a marriage of convenience.
22:17Where are you going?
22:18I don't know.
22:19But I'm getting out of here.
22:22It may interest you at no name that there are more things I want to do in my life than
22:26serve in a shop and keep you.
22:28I've got things I want to do too.
22:30We were just beginning to...
22:31If you want me, I'm at my brother's.
22:33But I don't suppose you will.
22:36Saeed!
22:36Saeed!
22:37Oh, you're back.
22:39I like the show.
22:40Of course I'm back.
22:41Well, where have you been?
22:42Why?
22:43Am I not allowed now?
22:44I went shopping.
22:45Oh.
22:46You get some fresh fingers, did you?
22:48No.
22:48Oh, it's a pity.
22:49Why?
22:50Because it had been your alibi.
22:51That's why.
22:52Alibi?
22:52Grant, keep still.
22:54I went to get the setting lotion for me there because the lift was working.
22:58Well, it's not now.
22:59Oh.
23:00Where's your cafe?
23:01Gone round to see Paulie?
23:03Yeah, yeah.
23:04That's a thought.
23:05Yeah, I expect so.
23:07I'll go round there.
23:07See you later, Mum.
23:10What's all that about?
23:11Don't ask me.
23:12They're a funny lot.
23:13Who?
23:14Men.
23:15Oh, any particular man or mustn't I ask?
23:18Not that sort of man.
23:19Not me dad's.
23:20Oh, why?
23:21What's he been doing?
23:22He's been getting at me, hasn't he?
23:24Oh, what's he been saying?
23:25Oh, just about everything I do is wrong.
23:27What?
23:28You know the way I behave with blokes?
23:30The way I look?
23:31Well, you can't help that.
23:32No, I know.
23:33He even wants me to go on the pill.
23:34He doesn't?
23:35He does.
23:36What does he think I am?
23:37Some sort of tart?
23:38I mean, Gwen, I don't wear that much make-up, do I?
23:40Oh, no, no.
23:42Not really.
23:44Not for these days.
23:46Oh, love, it's just because he's worried about you.
23:48Shows he cares.
23:49Oh, yeah.
23:49Funny way of showing it.
23:50I think he hates me.
23:52Of course he doesn't hate you.
23:53Fathers are a bit funny with their daughters.
23:55They don't like to see them growing up.
23:57It makes them feel old.
23:59Oh, that's better.
24:02You know, he doesn't like to think that you're not his little girl anymore.
24:06And when he realises that, well, men are interested in you, you know,
24:10it makes him a bit afraid for you.
24:13Well, protective-like.
24:15But, Gwen, I can't stop growing up.
24:18I mean, I can't stop doing it.
24:19No, of course you can't.
24:20But you've got to understand just how your dad feels, that's all.
24:23It comes to something when the kid's got to try and understand the parent.
24:26Oh, yes.
24:28Well, that's all part of growing up, dear, innit?
24:31You think you're all wet.
24:33They do.
24:35A pushover.
24:37Weak and silly.
24:39Why?
24:39I'm not silly.
24:41For letting them get away with it.
24:44You and me, we should dig our nails in.
24:46Show them they can't keep pushing us about.
24:49Because we'll push back.
24:52Funny thing is, Saeed, you know, she's right.
24:56Who is?
24:57It has shrunk.
24:59What has?
25:00The carpet.
25:01Look.
25:03See?
25:04It's not touching the walls.
25:06Is it supposed to?
25:08I don't know.
25:09Oh, no.
25:11Did you know your own carpet in your flat?
25:14My flat.
25:16Pete got somebody to do as.
25:19I had plans for our flat.
25:22Worked hard to make them happy.
25:24It's a nice flat.
25:25No, it isn't.
25:27Neither is my flat.
25:29Not all that nice.
25:30Nicer than most.
25:32I like it.
25:34It's mine.
25:36When you think of them sitting there all cosy in your home,
25:40well, we're sat here.
25:42We're on the floor.
25:44When you're down,
25:47there's no way but up, mate.
25:52What are we going to do, Saeed?
25:54Oh, I don't know.
25:56We can't go back.
25:58We'll work it out tomorrow.
25:59Now, together we stand, eh?
26:02We fell down, matter of fact.
26:05I thought Effa would have fed you.
26:07That's why we're hungry.
26:08That'd be rotten.
26:09Yeah, where's Mum?
26:10Did Kathy stayed on, did she?
26:12Yeah, I expect so.
26:13How'd you get on?
26:14Oh, great.
26:14We did a bit sparring.
26:15What, your first day?
26:16Oh, yeah, looks like you're dead.
26:17Anyway, all part of the game, son.
26:19You look all right.
26:21Oh, do you want to sit here, Mr Bill?
26:22No, it's all right, son.
26:23You stay where you are.
26:24Open house, innit?
26:25Oh, that's a bit ungracious, innit?
26:27Where's your old-fashioned hospitality?
26:29Even them Arabs in the desert welcome the stranger.
26:32My home's your own, that's what they say.
26:34Give up their beds, they do, to total strangers.
26:37Well, there's a lot of it about, innit?
26:38Yeah, Michelle, Michelle.
26:40Here, only up on burning to a cinder.
26:42Oh, sorry, Granny.
26:43Falling asleep on us.
26:45You're doing too much, that's what's the matter.
26:47Well, it's time I was going now, anyway.
26:49No, no, no.
26:50You stay, I insist.
26:51Well, if Mr Bill says it's...
26:53Well, the Oracle has spoken.
26:55Where's Mum, Dad?
26:56Told you, Pauline and Arthur's.
26:58How was Pauline and Arthur?
26:59Oh, they was all right.
27:00They was, uh, mending something.
27:02A little, uh, Wedgwood box that Michelle broke.
27:04Apparently, it's going to be all right.
27:06It's broken?
27:07My trinket box?
27:09My bit of Wedgwood?
27:10I'm sorry, Gran.
27:11Well, how could it be broken?
27:13I kept it on my dressing table.
27:15What were you doing in my room, Michelle?
27:16I was having a bit of a tidy out.
27:18I was helping Mum.
27:18What do you mean?
27:19You're sleeping in there?
27:20What?
27:21Oh, I thought you knew.
27:22In my room?
27:23I'm sorry, Mum.
27:24I thought Pauline and Arthur had told you.
27:26Oh, no, you told me anything.
27:28I told you where to use my room, Michelle.
27:31I know, Gran, but me and Mum talked and we thought it'd be better if I...
27:34It's my room and I won't have it invaded.
27:36Gran?
27:37Oh, this is what happens the minute my back is turned.
27:41My private territory gets invaded,
27:45marauding teenagers, rummaging through me things.
27:47Gran, I don't maraud.
27:48Well, you won't be able to do it for much longer.
27:51What do you mean?
27:52Well, it's obviously time I went home to sort you all out.
27:55No, no use trying to talk me out of it, Pete.
27:58I made up my mind.
28:23My wife, what do you mean?
