00:23I'll never forgive you, Lofty.
00:26You tricked me. There am I, locking myself in.
00:29And then I opened the door wide and let Nick in, but I didn't know it was him.
00:35It was your voice. How could you?
00:37Ethel, don't get panicked.
00:39Just come and sit down for a minute.
00:42We'll be here, protect you. I'm going to stay here, I'm going to be here, nothing's going to happen.
00:47Just sit down here. Nick's got something he's got to say to you.
00:51Oh, what's he want to say? And he'd done enough already.
00:54Look, I've done a lot of harm on this square, but I don't remember none of it because I was
00:57stoned.
00:58But I know the harm I've done because I've been told.
01:00Oh, so you believe them, do you? You believe the bill. The wicked bill that pulled you in.
01:05Yeah, I wouldn't put it past them to set me up.
01:07I thought you'd been locked up for good and they'd thrown away the key.
01:11Oh, there's no justice here.
01:13Look, I've just come round here to try and reassure you.
01:16Ask me mum, I've changed.
01:18I know you don't expect that, not yet.
01:20But I come round here to put your mind at rest.
01:23I'm through with all that, drugs and that.
01:25That was my downfall, wasn't it?
01:27But I come through it and I want to make it up to you.
01:29But it's true, Ethel.
01:30I mean, it only makes things worse, doesn't it, if people ignore him?
01:33Well, and you.
01:34You can't stay locked up in here forever, can you?
01:37Well, I don't know.
01:38Well, you'd miss all the gossip, wouldn't you?
01:39Yeah, my mum thinks the world of you.
01:41Oh, does she indeed.
01:43We had a nice natter ages ago.
01:45I told her then you wanted watching.
01:47I wouldn't lay a finger on you, never.
01:49I mean, this place is my home.
01:50I want to belong here.
01:52Yes.
01:53Well, you just watch you keep your nose clean.
01:57And another thing, Ethel.
01:59Don't cross the street when you see me coming.
02:01It really hurts when people do that.
02:02I don't think you're being quite sincere with me, Nick.
02:05I'm not at all sure you're off them drugs.
02:08You've still got that funny look in your eyes.
02:10What do you want me to do?
02:11Lay down on the floor, plead for forgiveness?
02:13I'll prove it, right?
02:14I'll prove you're wrong.
02:16Yes.
02:16Well, we'll see.
02:18Willie and me will have to see.
02:21That'd be the post.
02:26Grahane?
02:27Yes, love?
02:28Look, while Dad's out of the room.
02:29What, is my seed catalogue?
02:30Oh, what was it you wish wanting, love?
02:33It'll keep.
02:34Oh.
02:34Oh, come on, Shel.
02:35Snap out.
02:36I'll drink your tea.
02:37I did call you, you know.
02:38As soon as I'll get in from my shift.
02:40I just can't be bothered.
02:42What's the matter, love?
02:43Do you have a baby in the night or something?
02:44Yeah.
02:47They've got to stretch their lungs.
02:49It's nature's way.
02:51Yeah, a bit of fresh air.
02:52Put you right.
02:52When does that course start?
02:54What course?
02:55That motorbike course.
02:56You were all for it the other week.
02:57Oh, yeah.
02:58What, you gone off it?
03:00I'd better be off.
03:01Yeah, right.
03:01Ta-da.
03:02Ta-da.
03:03When does, um, when did Pauline go over, Mum?
03:06Oh, just after you went to work.
03:08She went to check the dispensers.
03:10You know how they complain if there's not enough powder.
03:13Well, it's going to be a long day for her, then.
03:15Guess who's holding the baby.
03:17Well, he's as good as gold.
03:20I wouldn't mind a dozen like him.
03:22Mmm.
03:44What are they, estimates?
03:45Yeah, just for interest.
03:48I don't believe it.
03:49I thought it was a straightforward job,
03:50knocking down a petition wall, making good and decorating.
03:53One of these estimates is extortionate.
03:55The other's a joke.
03:56Well, you're going to need more than two anyway.
03:58I thought you promised Tony the job.
04:00I have.
04:00I'm just checking.
04:03Well, while you're knocking down walls,
04:05we could have hot plate one end of the bar.
04:08Oh, not that again.
04:09The catering bit was a fluff, remember?
04:10Only because we've got the wrong sort of food.
04:12Mm, Ethel's pies.
04:14Eat your breakfast.
04:16Have we got the right sort of simple hot food?
04:18You know, beans, pasties,
04:20simple salad bar, one end.
04:22Stuff the punters like.
04:23It'd be easy for us to handle.
04:24What, Shell?
04:25Um, I thought I'd do the bottling up early
04:27because I've got a few jobs on this morning,
04:29if that's all right.
04:30Yeah, fine by me.
04:32Uh, Sharon, Michelle's downstairs.
04:34What's a word?
04:37Sharon?
04:38Come up, Michelle.
04:39Look, I'll drive you, come down.
04:45See, it's just that I don't really feel like being polite
04:47to your mum and dad today.
04:48And I don't want to hear what I've got to say.
04:49No, from your barrel of laughs, I must say.
04:52See, I'm trying to sort myself out.
04:55Sharon?
04:56I know what I wanted to tell you.
04:57You know that old cow Sandra?
04:59Well, she's been having a right go at me lately.
05:01Oh?
05:01Yeah.
05:02She bet me right out in front of all me mates.
05:04They wouldn't make it with a bloke before the end of the month.
05:06What's it to her?
05:07I told you she wouldn't have to wait that long.
05:09What do you mean?
05:10Lofty won't know what's it in.
05:12Don't be stupid, Sharon.
05:13Tell her to mind her own business.
05:14She doesn't know how to.
05:15She's got her mouth like the Blackwall Tunnel.
05:17Oh, look, girl's here.
05:18Little Miss Virgin, Chastity Watts.
05:19Take no notice.
05:21Look, Shell.
05:22If I don't get Lofty by tonight,
05:24I'll take up religion and become a nun, all right?
05:26Look, it's not worth the bother, Sharon, honest.
05:28You ain't mini Blair's lip gloss the full work.
05:30Don't.
05:31What's come over you?
05:32I thought you'd be all for it.
05:34I thought you'd have more blokes than not dinners.
05:36It's all a con, Sharon.
05:38You could have a whole lifetime's worth of one night stands if you wanted.
05:41One will do me, just to prove me point.
05:42But there is no point.
05:43That's what I'm trying to say.
05:44Oh, go to school, Michelle.
05:46Teach yourself religion.
05:47You be the nun, eh?
05:50You were there again this morning, huh?
05:52Talking to me.
05:53Don't give me no lip, sunshine.
05:54You know what I'm talking about.
05:57Every time I look, there you are.
06:00Loitering run the house next door to me.
06:03Typical.
06:04Because it's me, you use the word like loitering.
06:06And because it's me, you immediately jump to unfair conclusions.
06:10And because it's me, no matter what I tell her, you won't believe me, will you?
06:13What the hell are you up to, man?
06:15Look, I can't discuss my patients with you.
06:17You know that.
06:18But I'm listening.
06:18So tell me what I've done.
06:20You're talking to someone who's been through it, right?
06:22But I'm off it.
06:23I've kicked it.
06:24Starting's easy, but it's not easy finishing.
06:27And Mary Smith has popped your 10-day course.
06:2910-day course?
06:30You must be bloody joking.
06:32That lot lasted 10 minutes, and now she's wanting more.
06:35You doctors don't know what you're doing, dishing out pills like smarties.
06:37All right, all right.
06:38Now understand me.
06:40I can't talk about Mary Smith, but let's take a high...
06:43Let's take anybody.
06:44It's the same of anybody.
06:45In the old days, if you were under pressure, depressed, anxious,
06:50in financial difficulty, you went straight to your family,
06:52to your closest friends, or to a priest.
06:54Just someone like me, maybe, who'd had time to get to know you from the cradle.
06:58It's different these days with people moving around.
07:00Now everybody goes straight to the overworked doctor,
07:02and he's usually in a group practice,
07:04so it's probably someone you've never met before.
07:06Right. The first practical step is to stop the panic of it all,
07:10the pain of it all.
07:11Occasionally, that's all it needs.
07:12A short course of tranquilizers, a few days' respite.
07:15But that gives us time to set wheels in motion,
07:18to alert the social services.
07:20You see, we take the place of people like you,
07:23who should be caring for that person in a practical way,
07:25instead of just bleating about it.
07:27Caring?
07:28You should see the caring in a prison hospital.
07:30That's all it'll take to convince you what I'm trying to tell you.
07:33Is that all you're trying to tell me?
07:35Isn't all of this just a ploy?
07:37What do you mean?
07:38It's you that wants help, isn't it?
07:42I'd be better off washing your cardies in the machine.
07:45At least they might stretch a bit, then.
07:46She's gorgeous, isn't she?
07:48She must be calling everywhere.
07:50Yeah, I don't let her much have.
07:51I haven't got the space and this dog dirty in the square.
07:54You think how tiny she used to be, like my mum's baby.
07:57And pretty soon she'll be beginning to walk, starting to talk.
08:06It's beautiful stuff this year.
08:10See if you know what you're doing.
08:12Do you mind if I pick over the young stuff?
08:14It makes a nice salad.
08:16You're joking.
08:18Yeah, a couple of oranges sliced small,
08:20crisp smoked bacon crumpled over the top.
08:22One of them salads.
08:25What do you want to grow them?
08:26Oh, I've got plans.
08:28I'm going to use every inch.
08:30Have a tree, maybe.
08:31An apple tree.
08:32Round me.
08:33Of course, what my lot would like to see is frozen peas,
08:3810 carrots, baked beans and a couple of rows of beef burgers.
08:42Do you know what I mean?
08:46What?
08:48I bought your son to keep you company.
08:50Paulie's got a rush on at the laundrette and I'm going to be bingo.
08:54She goes mornings as well these days.
08:56Oh, one of the joyful things about being a grandma,
08:59is handing the baby back to its right floor.
09:02Good for you, Mrs. Beale.
09:03Oh, I think you haven't been digging up more of that stuff, have you?
09:06Yeah, dug it all up, Mum.
09:08We don't want no more of that.
09:10It's horrible.
09:14It's horrible.
09:15Grant, are you up there?
09:17It's only me.
09:25I'm going to go into my town.
09:28How high than the evidence, eh?
09:30You make me sick, you know.
09:31I can't stand furtive drinking.
09:33Do what?
09:35Oh.
09:38Come in.
09:42I've got your note.
09:43Oh, yes, Arthur.
09:44Sit down.
09:47What is it?
09:48The vicar of St. Barnabas called on me this morning.
09:50He gave me a message.
09:52He wants a caretaker, right?
09:53A message passed on from Mark.
09:59God.
10:00Where is he?
10:01Is he all right?
10:02Yeah.
10:05It's just a message, Arthur.
10:07I'm okay.
10:08I'm alive.
10:09I'm alive and I've got a roof over my head.
10:11Yeah, go on.
10:12Well, that's it.
10:15You mean they found him and they let him get away again?
10:18Bloody nuts.
10:19You mean they found him?
10:20Arthur, there's an organisation calling itself Message Home Service.
10:24They put out posters everywhere.
10:26Pubs, railway stations, hostels.
10:29Kids who've run away from home are encouraged to telephone a number
10:32and leave a message to say they're okay.
10:34Quite anonymously so that their parents can be reassured.
10:38The kid gives a name and address or a telephone number to contact
10:41and the organisation does the rest.
10:43I don't understand.
10:45Why contact you and not us?
10:47Ah, well, that's simple.
10:48You must understand, Arthur, that Mark is not strong enough yet to speak to you or to see you.
10:53He just can't take the pressure yet.
10:56Well, you better tell me everything.
10:58Pauling will want to know exactly how it works.
11:00Yeah, well, the numbers on the posters are all answering machines in homes and offices.
11:05At the end of every 24 hours, volunteers collect all the messages
11:08and send each one on to the vicar of the parish where the child comes from.
11:12So the vicar came to see you?
11:13Yeah, because the message was for me to give to you.
11:18And he's okay?
11:19Yeah.
11:21The kid's okay!
11:23The kid's okay!
11:26Sorry, Doc. Thanks very much.
11:28It's all right.
11:28The kid's okay!
11:34Yes, look, can I've got a piece?
11:37Look at that.
11:38He's been in and out all morning.
11:43We've been skiving off, have we?
11:45No, it's you.
11:46It doesn't like you to skive off,
11:47in it?
11:49Have you seen Graham?
11:50No, not a whiff.
11:52I've got to talk to him.
11:53Oh, you're welcome.
11:55You don't know how lucky you are after Farms.
11:58Yeah, well.
11:59You're both out of it, aren't you?
12:01You're welcome, you and Mark.
12:03Don't you reckon I'll be lucky, eh?
12:08Come on, Mark, sit down.
12:09Come on, love, come on.
12:11Oh, isn't it wonderful?
12:13Now, calm down, calm down.
12:15Remember, he's not coming home yet.
12:17I know, but at least he's alive, and he sounds fine, and not on drugs or anything.
12:23And he's got somewhere to live.
12:24Oh, I love him.
12:26Good.
12:26Hey, why do you reckon he chose to tell us now, out of the blue?
12:30Oh, it's obvious, isn't it?
12:32Well, it is to me.
12:33Well, he's worked out the baby's due about now, and he wants to give me peace of mind.
12:37Yeah, that's it, that's it.
12:40That's it.
12:40Oh, do you know how Mark's not all bad?
12:42I mean, deep down, he's got art a guard.
12:47How much is that dark in the window?
12:52Who's there?
12:53Michelle.
12:54Oh, Michelle.
12:57Hang on a sec, love.
12:59Here we are.
13:03Come on in.
13:04Hello, ref, have you seen my grind?
13:05Oh, my days, it's the baby.
13:09She's got a magnificent obsession on that baby, that's her trouble.
13:14Here, I'm glad it's you.
13:16I thought it might be that Nick Cotton again.
13:19I've had him here, you know, in the black of the night.
13:22That's nice.
13:23Oh, he swears to me he's changed, swears to me he's a deformed character, but I don't know.
13:31He still scares me, that I do know.
13:33Still, he might have changed, you never know.
13:37Might have turned over a new leaf there.
13:40I can't believe that when I see it.
13:43Mary's been.
13:44I gave her a peach.
13:46She said you said to.
13:48Yeah, that's right, for the baby.
13:50Oh, it's the baby now, is it?
13:52Can't get much younger, can you?
13:54What are you talking about?
13:56Well, first it's her mother, now it's the kid.
14:00Look, Cat, we've been through all that before.
14:04I mean, Mary's going through a bad patch.
14:06Yeah, but there's more, isn't there?
14:08You've been seen giving her money.
14:09Oh, I see.
14:11By one of your friends, I suppose.
14:13Well?
14:15Oh, right.
14:16Thirty quid.
14:17I lent her a lousy thirty quid.
14:19That's all.
14:19So where comes you've got thirty quid to splash around?
14:22I'm not here anymore.
14:24I mean, we all know you've got a sharp tongue, Cat.
14:26But you've never been mean, though.
14:28Well, you tell me then.
14:30It's not nice for a woman to find out her old man's been laying out money,
14:32and she don't know nothing about it.
14:36Bloody snoops.
14:39Look, Cat, it's going through a bad patch.
14:43I mean, she's got to find her five a week to pay her fine.
14:46She's behind with everything.
14:47And who does she go and see?
14:49Only Nick Cotton, that's all.
14:51She was with him just now.
14:52Yeah, that's what I'm worried about.
14:55I mean, she's so vulnerable.
14:57Which is easy, pray for the likes of Nick Cotton.
15:00I'll tell you, Cat, he could have her on drugs, on the game,
15:05fiddling the sows, all inside a week.
15:07That would be right.
15:10I mean, look at it like this.
15:13Ain't it better to come to old Uncle Pete for now and now, eh, than going to him?
15:18Maybe.
15:19Hold your alties, love.
15:21Mind you, she's such a soft touch.
15:24He's probably up to West End now, knocking the dough out.
15:26I gave her.
15:27Yeah, well, as long as you don't forget, charity begins at home.
15:31And I've seen a really nice strength.
15:37Ah, Mary said you'd be here.
15:41Sharing a load, saves bread, yeah?
15:44Look, I came to apologise.
15:48My oh my.
15:49Did you hear me out?
15:53Someone tipped off the fuzz.
15:54It's not me.
15:56I cleared off a gang of kids, glue sniffing.
15:58The oldest of us.
16:00Ten years, eleven years at the most.
16:03It's sick, man.
16:05Yeah, I know.
16:06You know what was going on?
16:07Sure.
16:08Why do you think I was there?
16:09Oh, come on, not kids, not kids!
16:11I was trying to help!
16:12I'm not exactly a fan of the boys in blue.
16:14I was trying to warn them off.
16:15My way.
16:18Okay.
16:19I'm sorry.
16:22I'm very sorry I've been jumping to conclusions.
16:25Thanks.
16:27Nah, if you really believe me.
16:29I'm sure I've a quiet bit of effort.
16:31Tell her I'm not such a bad boy after all.
16:35But you know, I'll do my best.
16:49Lofty, get down the other end.
16:51Glasses.
16:52Yeah, yeah, right.
16:57You're dishing out the charm today, aren't you?
16:59Oh, give it a rest.
17:01If you want charm, go and pour yourself a large double gin and watch Wokman.
17:04If you're gonna stay down here, button it.
17:08Come in.
17:09Sorry to be so late, Doctor.
17:11Oh, Ali, no, you're not one to waste my time.
17:13Sit down.
17:13I know you're not my doctor anymore, but...
17:15Well, I hope we're still friends.
17:16I'd like to come and see you while I still have courage.
17:19It's not easy.
17:20I know, you've been through a lot these past few weeks.
17:22It's Sue, isn't it?
17:24Well, that's just it.
17:25It was Sue, but no, it's me.
17:28Well, I want her more than ever before, but I'm useless.
17:32I can't do anything.
17:34I'm finished.
17:36I just wish there was another word for impotence.
17:39It's such... such a final word.
17:42It's not like that.
17:44Think of it as an illness.
17:45Something a bit worse than a cold and perhaps not quite as devastating as pneumo.
17:48Don't make it sound so simple.
17:50All I know is that I can't do it and it's not getting any easier.
17:54The rock set in, hasn't it?
17:55Too right.
17:57Well, you won't believe me, but it will improve.
18:01You're intelligent enough to know that it's something to do with a tragedy.
18:05A misplaced feeling of guilt, perhaps?
18:08Not wanting to put Sue or yourself through a similar experience.
18:10It could be any number of connected reasons.
18:12But let's not speculate about it, Ali.
18:14Just give it time.
18:15Don't you understand?
18:16I could lose her.
18:17What, you think Sue is that shallow?
18:18No.
18:20No, of course I don't.
18:21It's just she couldn't be any better about it all and that makes it worse.
18:26Well, it shouldn't.
18:27Sue needs to show compassion.
18:29It wasn't there for the baby.
18:30She was too shocked.
18:32Let her love you.
18:33She needs it.
18:34You need it.
18:36So what you're saying is don't rush it, yeah?
18:40Exactly.
18:43You going to bed, Arthur?
18:46No, not yet.
18:48I should have thought Pauline had had a hard enough day's work
18:51without having to walk that baby up and down all night.
18:53Yeah, she's juggling him too hard.
18:55It's excitement now.
18:56Mark's all right.
18:57Can't keep still.
18:58Then you should take over.
19:00Yeah, I will in a minute.
19:06If you take everything in your stride and grab every opportunity,
19:12then your future looks not only good but positively blooming.
19:20Who made up all this rubbish?
19:23I'd like to have a word with him.
19:25He wants to come here and see my housing situation.
19:29Tell me what opportunities I should take, eh, Arthur?
19:34What's that?
19:35Nothing.
19:37Nothing.
19:40Career prospects are very much in focus.
19:44It's you, Michelle.
19:52And how's my little flower then?
19:54All right.
19:55I'm a bit pleased with yourself tonight.
19:56Did the old man, er...
19:57He's promised to buy me a new dress.
19:59Oh, it's nice to see a couple that get on so well.
20:01Yeah, we do.
20:02And I know what you're trying to say and all.
20:04I'm an expert at reading between the lines.
20:06Oh, I know.
20:06Our Kath doesn't miss much, does she?
20:08And Pete says I've got this habit of speaking my mind and all.
20:11I know.
20:12It's nice.
20:12It's honest.
20:14So, since today's one of those days...
20:20Will you tell me something, Den?
20:22If I can, yeah.
20:24Why do you stay with Angie?
20:26Why stay with her if you don't love her anymore?
20:28No messing around, eh?
20:29Straight from the shoulder.
20:31No, go on, Den.
20:32I'm interested.
20:34Don't worry.
20:34I won't let on to Ange.
20:36This is between you and me.
20:38Okay.
20:40Don't think I've ever put it into words before.
20:42But you're right.
20:43I don't think I do love her.
20:45Not proper love anyway.
20:47And I've got...
20:48Wow, you know about that.
20:49Yeah.
20:50We all know about that.
20:51I don't love Ange.
20:52I could never leave her.
20:54But there's times when you're downright I hate her.
20:56Don't you think it'd be better for her if you was to go?
20:58She'd fall apart without me.
21:00And you care that much?
21:02It's my responsibility.
21:03I married her.
21:03I stick by her.
21:04Simple as that.
21:06You amaze me, Den.
21:08You're making her sound like a cracked doll.
21:10Angie is a person.
21:11Look, don't get me wrong, Kath.
21:12I think she's a fantastic lady.
21:14And I will admit grudgingly that I couldn't live without her either.
21:17Because on a good day, she's an asset.
21:19A real pro.
21:19And we built this pub up from scratch.
21:21But I'm the kingpin.
21:22I'm the one they rely on.
21:24You put a very convincing front on.
21:26You have to.
21:27Every good publican must.
21:29You mustn't bring your private life into the bar.
21:31And Angie's good at that.
21:31She puts on a damn good front.
21:34But this is my pub.
21:35My territory.
21:36Angie's just a small part of it.
21:38And let's face it.
21:39She's been a shadow of her former self lately.
21:41If I was to walk away from this, the whole place would collapse.
21:44Simple as that.
21:45You keep saying that.
21:46And I have other responsibilities that I can't show.
21:48Not just Angie and the pub there's Sharon to think of.
21:50She's my kid.
21:51Oh, and it was because of her you both started behaving yourselves, wasn't it?
21:54If I'm not mistaken, for all of a couple of months.
21:57You're a proper little toughener, aren't you?
21:59Well, I mean, if she was that important to you, you'd stick to your word, wouldn't you?
22:02Oh, look at Angie, Den.
22:04She's really trying.
22:05Yeah, and making my life misery.
22:07It's partly that that's driving me to Jan, her.
22:11Oh, you're beginning to sound pathetic.
22:20Good night, Den.
22:25Mum bought me these players last year.
22:27It's a bit small, really.
22:29My clothes are never the right size.
22:30I don't know what I am, apparently.
22:32Slim built or...
22:34You know, most girls in my class are going for really boring gear.
22:38Long black skirts, they can hardly move in and long mags.
22:41Personally speaking, I won't be seen dead in any of it.
22:44Do you know what I mean?
22:45What?
22:46Well, I think it's very important to dress carefully.
22:50Do you like this skirt?
22:52Yeah, yeah.
22:53It's very nice.
22:54That's what I thought you'd say.
22:56I thought, now, would a guy like Lofty like what I'm wearing?
22:58The kids around here haven't got a clue out of you.
23:00I don't think clothes are all that important, really.
23:02I mean, I never notice what people are wearing.
23:05It's how I was doing identification parade, right?
23:08Well, what people were wearing, well, I'd hardly notice it.
23:11I mean, what they look like is more important or what they say, isn't it?
23:14Words aren't all that important, Lofty.
23:17Faces are, though.
23:18And your body.
23:20I mean, I know I'm probably not your type,
23:23but which bit of me really turns you on, eh?
23:25Go on.
23:28You've got very nice hair.
23:29Yeah.
23:30But what about my legs?
23:34Have I got the right legs for a minute?
23:36Yeah, yeah, of course.
23:38Do you like tights?
23:40Most men are turned off by them.
23:42What about suspenders, eh?
23:44I'm not wearing anything personally.
23:46My legs are still brown from the sun.
23:50Stop!
23:52I've never heard some disgusting talking all my life.
23:55Ben, stop it! Get up there!
23:57I'm going upstairs!
23:57Mum, there's only talking!
23:58All right, upstairs, darling.
24:00All right, Lofty, I've got a bit of sorting out to do here.
24:09Finished?
24:10Hmm?
24:14Shall I read your horoscope?
24:16What, sir?
24:17No, no, no, no, thanks.
24:18No, no, I like surprises.
24:20Like no marks coming back into our lives.
24:22What are you doing, anyway?
24:23This is the plan of my allotment.
24:25See, I shall grow a bit of everything eventually,
24:27but I've got to rotate the crops.
24:28Oh, very nice.
24:30You could grow a few chrysanthemums,
24:32take them up to Albert's grave.
24:34I don't know what he'd say if he was here and
24:35know what's going on behind me back about my housing situation.
24:40Well, that's it.
24:42I'm fed up with your rabbiting.
24:43I'm going to bed.
24:48At last.
24:56Grant.
25:00Can you remember what you said to Mum
25:01when she found out she was pregnant?
25:04Yes, I do.
25:07Why?
25:11I told her straight.
25:15She should get rid of it.
25:18Is that what you did in your day when you were a girl?
25:21I told her right.
25:24Went down to Granny Gregory's down,
25:28what was it?
25:29Er, Monotti Street.
25:31That's it.
25:33She's not there anymore, of course.
25:36Anyway.
25:38Knock at the door.
25:40There she was, crochet hook in hand.
25:44Oh, that was the days of, er, boiling up bars and a pint of gin.
25:51So many old cows, they were messy and dangerous.
25:57A lot of them died.
26:00Like I said to your mum,
26:04the only contraception there is,
26:06is that little word,
26:09NO.
26:14I was furious with her.
26:18Livid I was.
26:22That baby's gorgeous.
26:32Is that what you're trying to tell me, love?
26:40What are you trying to tell me?
26:42Tell her.
26:42Sure.
26:47Now,
