05:21Why does she never pick up?
05:22She knows you want something.
05:23Yeah, her passport details.
05:25I'm booking her B-fun.
05:28Yeah.
05:31Oh!
05:32I was just calling you this holiday.
05:34I've just been to see Dad,
05:36and they said that he's not in a facility anymore.
05:38They said that he's been gone for weeks,
05:40and you told me that he was still there.
05:42OK, listen, I can explain.
05:43I just want one parent to be straight with me.
05:45Varnie!
05:52She wants me to go and see her.
05:55But I can't lie to her face about Sheila.
05:59Do you know what Sheila's paying for?
06:01It is the difference between Jordan walking and not walking.
06:06Him being pushed around in his wheelchair in the park,
06:09him watching his friends play.
06:11Look, I want to see him laugh again.
06:13And so do I.
06:14I told you it's your mum.
06:15But if she finds out, she's going to put a stop to it.
06:18So you can go, but you can't tell her.
06:33We all do things that ain't right, but for the right reasons.
06:37Varnie will understand.
06:38Just explain it to her.
06:39How do I explain that I ain't got a clue where he is?
06:42That's why I ain't told her.
06:44Wow.
06:45Yeah, exactly.
06:47My dad was unconventional when I was growing up.
06:50Still is.
06:53But, do you know, I just appreciated it when my mum was honest with me about it.
06:59Go on, go.
07:00I won't tell my dad you left early.
07:09Jasmine, please, darling.
07:10You can come and pull a few pints, only just, Jean's really useless at it.
07:13I doubt Cindy's going to want to be served by her and vice versa.
07:20Are you all right?
07:22Yeah, I'm just kind of sick of this place.
07:24Well, have you thought about doing another job?
07:26No, no, no.
07:27Last year it was a mess, mum.
07:29Pride needs planage, not just up Compton Street.
07:31We need somewhere off the beaten track.
07:34Right, mum, I'll call you in a bit.
07:36We're going to sit here anyway.
07:38Lauren, I think what I actually want to be here.
07:43Max, you all right?
07:44Oh, yes.
07:45I want a front row seat, please.
07:46Hey, listen, do you want to take the little love to your private party?
07:54Oh, there she is.
07:56Wow.
07:57You look amazing.
07:58So do you.
08:00You good?
08:00Oh, yeah.
08:01Oh, you came.
08:03Oh, I love you all so much.
08:06We wouldn't miss it, mum.
08:07And Anna would be here if she could be.
08:09Oh, she's coming to the wedding, though, isn't she?
08:10Yeah, of course she is.
08:11Hello.
08:12You look a knockout, by the way.
08:15Hi, thanks.
08:22You all right?
08:23I'm too good to have me.
08:24Got stuck at work.
08:25Consoling our assistant.
08:27What do you mean?
08:28Priya.
08:29You know Ravi's left at her.
08:30She's not in a good way.
08:33All right.
08:33Sorry, I'm late.
08:34All right.
08:34All right, darling.
08:42Where'd you go?
08:44Mum, what's going on?
08:45Where is he?
08:47Can you both just sit down, please?
08:50I'm going to be honest.
08:52Please just sit down.
08:58I don't know where your dad is.
09:00I know he left the unit.
09:02But then you said he couldn't stick around.
09:05I don't know.
09:06Maybe he's still not well.
09:07Well, is he safe?
09:09Yeah, I'm sure he is.
09:11He's tough.
09:13But right now, my priority is you two.
09:17Which is why I want to book Ibiza again.
09:19You know, until your dad comes back, it's just us three against the world.
09:23And I promise, I ain't going to lie anymore.
09:29Well, what I beefed with you last time was a bit boring.
09:34Are you joking?
09:35Mum, you're on your pajamas at 7.30.
09:39You should have seen me back in the day.
09:40No, I'm going to go meet some mates, OK?
09:43Yeah, same.
09:44Are you sure you two are going to be all right?
09:46What about all that Joel stuff?
09:48Don't worry about it.
09:49I'm dealing with it, OK?
09:52Why don't you go out?
09:54Like, back in the day.
09:57Yeah, well, maybe I will.
10:06To Mum!
10:07Aw, happy birthday!
10:11Oi, Cathy, you didn't let me in the eye.
10:14You what?
10:14Yeah, it means ten years bad sex if you don't, darling, doesn't it?
10:17Yeah, what's that, Kat?
10:18Really? Yeah, you'll be 85 before you and half are back at it.
10:21Oh, never fun life.
10:23You OK?
10:24And all this talk of sex and relationships must hurt.
10:28Yeah, I do miss him.
10:30Not the, um...
10:32Oh, actually, I do miss that.
10:34Not that me and Billy were at it like rabbits.
10:36It's the companionship.
10:37You know, a lifelong companion just gone.
10:41I just can't imagine what it was like for you to lose, Meg.
10:44Well, has it ever happened to you?
10:45But for Billy to throw away everything that we had just for a bit of fun, it doesn't make sense.
10:50Try and be open-minded about Billy and the apps and the voice notes, you know, because...
10:55Well, things aren't always what they seem.
10:58Yeah, she's going out with me.
11:00Well, Mum, come on, we're doing presents.
11:02Oh, OK.
11:03That's best, Mum.
11:03Oh, thank you.
11:04Here we go.
11:05Wow.
11:06How are you?
11:07Did you wrap this?
11:08Yes!
11:11You look insane, by the way.
11:17Mum's on at me.
11:18One of us has got to do a speech.
11:19Oh, Bugsy not me.
11:21Mm.
11:23Ow.
11:23Just say, Bugsy not me.
11:25Bugsy not?
11:27Surely Cindy's going to want one of her own kids to do the speech.
11:30Yeah.
11:33Dad, where's my lemonade?
11:34In a minute, mate, in a minute.
11:37What?
11:38Go on, G.
11:40Surely you've got something nice to say about your mum.
11:44You should be.
11:45Speech.
11:46Speech.
11:46All right.
11:46Speech.
11:49Come on, now.
11:50Come on, now.
11:51Come on, now.
11:53I want to say a few words, apparently.
11:56This is quite an unconventional engagement party.
12:00I mean, we've got a line-up of Mother's Greatest Hits over here.
12:04I've got to say, though.
12:05Cindy Martin's got a nice ring to it.
12:07Yeah, at least Dad's Greatest Hits in here would be one in, one out, wouldn't it?
12:10Ooh.
12:10For the door.
12:11No, no, no.
12:12OK, seriously, serious.
12:13These two chaos-inducing, self-sabotaging, hell-raisers have finally met their match.
12:22And I'm really happy for them both.
12:25I mean, I don't really know Max, but, um, maybe you both just needed time to grow up.
12:33Oh, no, no, no, maybe you were both just looking for each other.
12:37Mm-hmm.
12:39Uh, yeah.
12:40So, let's just raise a glass, yeah?
12:43To...
12:44To Mama Max.
12:45Yes!
12:48Can I get in the rain, please?
12:49Get you.
12:56What are you doing here?
12:57I thought you were staying in with the kids tonight.
12:58Yeah, well, I've been sugarcoating everything my ex did, pussyfooting around.
13:02I think I deserve to let my head down, don't you?
13:04Uh, ahem.
13:06There you go.
13:07Oh!
13:08Well, I hope you ain't trying to get me drunk, because I'm just here for the lols.
13:11It's about time we all had some lols, isn't it?
13:13All right, well, you can just stand there and look pretty, and I'm going to need something stronger than that.
13:17Come right up.
13:23Oh, sorry I'd met that earlier.
13:25I don't care about you, and you don't care about me.
13:29Oh, you're going to stick to your word, aren't you?
13:31I wouldn't waste my breath.
13:34There you go.
13:34Something stronger.
13:36Oh, well, thanks.
13:37Cheers.
13:37Cheers.
13:50Oh, excuse me, um, you don't know me, but I think you do know my wife's lodger, Bea.
13:58Bea Pollard.
14:00I don't want to get involved.
14:02Sorry.
14:03Mate.
14:05Mate, I think she's dangerous.
14:09This is my number.
14:12Bea's trying to help me out, eh?
14:14Call me.
14:20You all right?
14:22Hey, yeah.
14:23Pride's tomorrow.
14:25Really can't be bothered with Massachusetts tickets, though.
14:27Yeah.
14:28Well, you know we're doing something in here.
14:30Yeah?
14:31Yeah.
14:31Think big decorations, cocktails, special performers.
14:35Oh.
14:35I mean, who knows what Cindy's doing, but we don't want to line our pockets, do we?
14:39Yeah.
14:40Okay.
14:41Yeah, why not?
14:42You'll invite Jasmine?
14:43Me.
14:44All right.
14:45I'll mention it to her.
14:46Special performer here, though.
14:47Nothing.
14:53Stop it.
14:58Is it a bit weird, gate-crash in Max's engagement party?
15:01Oh.
15:02Oh, it's fine.
15:03Look, it's for drinks.
15:04And we'll keep going, because honey's coming round.
15:07Happy birthday.
15:08Oh.
15:11You look happier than you've been in a long, long time.
15:14Yeah?
15:15I am.
15:16Let's keep it that way.
15:18I'll be, uh, treat you well.
15:20Thanks, George.
15:22There she is.
15:23Been missing you.
15:24Oh, don't get jealous.
15:25I was just telling George how happy you make me.
15:29No, too, right.
15:30I'm not jealous.
15:31Mm-hmm.
15:32It's all a bit playground, isn't it?
15:34There are no playground games here.
15:37We are all in loin-adult relationships.
15:41Brie, if you want to go, you know where the door is.
15:43Do you know what I mean?
15:43Yeah, I do.
15:44By the looks of it, it's back to you in the face on the way in.
15:48Let's just forget about the riff, not failing.
15:50Enjoy our party.
15:51Yeah.
15:51Mm.
15:58I love you.
16:00Just kidding.
16:02Kim.
16:04I thought you were saying Denise.
16:06She said you were visiting her.
16:08Otherwise, anyone else could have gone, like me or Yolandi.
16:12How's your mum doing?
16:13Will you all tell her that we all miss her?
16:15Yeah, yeah, of course.
16:16Thanks, Andrea.
16:17I mean, I could organise a group of us to go and see her.
16:19I know mum wants to, and honey mentioned it.
16:21She's not an exhibit in the Tate Modern, is she?
16:26Sorry.
16:27Sorry.
16:28It's just that it's...
16:29We're all worried at the moment, you know?
16:31Well, you can't even imagine.
16:32No, just for you lot.
16:33Look, we all, um, we appreciate your support, all of you.
16:38It's just, Denise needs us in her corner right now.
16:42Yeah, she must be really going through it, bless her.
16:45Do you think you could turn the music up a little bit?
16:47I mean, uh...
16:48Well, it's an engagement party, isn't it?
16:53Right, come on, let's go.
16:56Well, Uncle Max, you really know how to pick them, don't you?
17:01What?
17:16So beautiful.
17:19You must get paid to say that.
17:21And if I had a pound for every woman who laughed in my face,
17:24I'd leave the NHS tomorrow.
17:25Hmm.
17:38No visitors in the end?
17:39No, I...
17:40I've FaceTimed Tiana.
17:43It's actually quite a relief not to have family in.
17:45Amen to that.
17:47You don't have to listen to all their problems,
17:49get yourself all dressed up, fix your head wrap.
17:52Some days you just want to let it all hang out.
17:55Yeah.
17:55Well...
17:57I haven't even seen myself without this wrap on.
18:01Can't bear taking it off in case I...
18:06catch my reflection in a spoon or something.
18:09Denise.
18:11You're putting your body through so much already.
18:13On top of all that, you want to care about what you look like?
18:15Yeah.
18:17I guess...
18:18I guess it just keeps...
18:21some sense of control.
18:24Life is too short to try and retain control.
18:28Enjoy your no visitor day.
18:30Mm.
18:30And be kind to yourself...
18:32for once.
18:51Shall I help?
19:20I told you.
19:21I told you.
19:21I told you.
19:23It's still beautiful.
19:47I bet you're not going to join in, darling.
19:50It's probably for the best.
19:51On the looks of it, this girl's night ain't going to end well.
19:53Obviously not, Lindy.
19:57I see a puny with, like, a slice of lemon in that.
20:00She wouldn't want to make a fuss, but I know she'd appreciate it.
20:03Lemon's coming up, girl.
20:12There we go.
20:13Put the fuck on in there like that.
20:20What are you doing? You all right?
20:25Yeah.
20:27I mean, I feel bad for Denise. Of course I do.
20:30But is it too much to ask for just a bit of attention, you know, just for one night?
20:35No, of course it ain't. You've got my attention, haven't you?
20:38Hmm.
20:38I'm just going to be all over you later.
20:41Ew.
20:41O-A-P-P-D-A.
20:44It's all right. Ignore her.
20:46Are you going to let her talk to me like that?
20:47No, she's just jealous, isn't she?
20:49All jealous.
20:50Let's give her something to be jealous of.
20:52Ooh.
20:54Ooh.
20:55Ooh.
20:56Ooh.
20:56Oh, she's still coming through.
20:58How are you going on?
20:58Yay!
21:00Good job.
21:02All right.
21:02There you go.
21:03Alfie.
21:04What?
21:05I know you inside your busy book.
21:07Was that gin?
21:08What?
21:09Well, yeah, well, well, I'll just hold on a second.
21:11You know, obviously I just poured it myself, you know, and I put a straw in.
21:16You?
21:17Oh.
21:18You won't even invite me to.
21:19Linda.
21:20Please.
21:20How long have you been here?
21:21What?
21:21It must have been you.
21:22Look, we'll get you a new one.
21:23No, no, no.
21:24Throw her out.
21:25Linda, stop.
21:27Fine.
21:28I'm going.
21:28Go on.
21:29Bea, you...
21:30Linda.
21:31She was just reading her book.
21:33Oh, was she hell?
21:34Why are you all so quick to judge?
21:36I mean, she's just trying to fit in here.
21:38Honey.
21:39You told me to be reminded about Billy.
21:41What about Bea?
21:42She's my friend.
21:43We're your friends, honey.
21:45I don't know if you are.
21:46What?
21:48Honey.
21:48Oh, honey.
21:49Go.
21:57You know what?
21:58I haven't talked to you.
21:59Don't do that, Cindy.
22:00Bea, what is your problem?
22:02I mean, you turn up here uninvited, try yourself at anything that moves.
22:07It's not a good look, you know.
22:08And you've got kids.
22:09Oh, wow.
22:10Really?
22:10What are you actually doing here anyway?
22:12It's like you're obsessed with me or something.
22:14With you.
22:15Babe.
22:15I was running around in nappies whilst you were sleeping with half the square.
22:19Do you know what?
22:20I'm not even going to stoop to your level.
22:23No self-respecting woman would.
22:26Yeah, yeah.
22:27You might laugh.
22:28And yes, it's no secret that I have had a few bad men in my time.
22:33But now I found Max.
22:35Oh, yeah.
22:35Who isn't one of the bad ones, right?
22:38He's no angel.
22:40But he loves me.
22:42I mean, look at you.
22:43Who's going to want you, Priya?
22:45Hmm?
22:46Ex-druggy.
22:47And cheap clubber.
22:48No wonder Ravi got ill.
22:49It's indeed.
22:51That's enough.
22:57Sorry about that.
22:59You all right?
22:59Get lost, you creep.
23:01Priya.
23:04Bye.
23:10Oh, no.
23:11Just go away, Priya.
23:13Actually, I want to say something.
23:16Oh.
23:18Go on.
23:18I mean, it is my engagement, and I would quite like to go back to my party.
23:23So are you okay?
23:24Yeah, yeah, fine.
23:25So what is it?
23:28I just want to say...
23:32I'm sorry.
23:33I should be cheersing you and Max, and instead I'm making total fools of you, but...
23:39Okay.
23:40Thanks.
23:41We're really similar, me and you.
23:42I've fallen hard for a few wrong men in my life too.
23:45Just a tip for the future.
23:47Don't catch feelings.
23:48Just play with them.
23:51Stay in control.
23:53Your heart stays intact that way.
23:54I don't need any tips from you, Priya.
23:58Max is my future.
24:01Okay?
24:02Come on.
24:04We're done.
24:08You owe me.
24:14Max?
24:15Oh.
24:22Did you bring it?
24:24Remember, honey, this is purifying.
24:27Think of all the times that he's put himself, his feelings, his football first.
24:31Go on.
24:42What's that?
24:42No, let me see.
24:43It's just another bottom drawer thing.
24:46It's just a silly old...
24:48No.
24:49Will and Janet, they made their dad this, so...
24:52also future feminists who need empowering.
24:55No, no, no, no, no, no.
24:56That is enough.
24:58Billy's their dad.
24:59Always will be.
25:01I saved you and the kids.
25:03You can't turn your back on me now.
25:06You're either with or against me, honey.
25:09No, Bea, I...
25:11Of course, I could always tell Billy what you were doing here tonight.
25:33Sorry, are you and Mark?
25:35Are you a thing, then, or...?
25:36Oh, no, babe.
25:37Like I said tonight, it's just a bit of fun.
25:40A little flirt.
25:41Because if I'm being honest, it's been a while and I'm a little bit frustrated.
25:47Same.
25:49Actually, yeah, just excuse me a minute, yeah?
25:56Right, I'm doing a speech.
25:58What?
25:58What?
25:59This is Dad's last engagement party.
26:00Might never get a chance again.
26:02Excuse me.
26:04Yo, next round's on me!
26:07Now that I've got your attention, um...
26:10Let's play a little game.
26:11Drum roll, please.
26:15Who will be my dad's best man?
26:18Oh, yikes.
26:21A lot of options.
26:22Um, well, someone from the square obviously has to do it,
26:24but he's upset most of the blokes around here by bonking their wives.
26:29A little bit of a drink for this.
26:31Yeah, just a little bit of fun, Daddy-O.
26:33Well, on with Jack, did he?
26:35So, coming in at five to one is...
26:38Peter!
26:40Peter!
26:41Yeah.
26:41But I don't know if you were good enough for Lauren, so...
26:45George!
26:46Huh?
26:46George!
26:47Yeah, 50 to one.
26:48Give, uh, Cinder sips.
26:50Brian!
26:51Brian!
26:5220 to nine!
26:53Well, like 20,000 at one.
26:55Yeah, you're probably right.
26:56He hates you.
26:59Right, now, Brian's mates, who we've got?
27:01Who we've got?
27:02Just, uh, please look hot and don't be related to me.
27:07I'm actually gonna take that in my mouth.
27:10Come on.
27:12What are you doing? You're just messing about my head.
27:14What?
27:15By not telling your fiancé I had you on your knees a couple of weeks ago?
27:18What is this?
27:19What?
27:19You just want me again, or what?
27:21Oh, you're an arrogant old man.
27:24Still running around after beautiful young women.
27:27It's sad and pathetic.
27:29Oh, yeah, yeah, really sad and pathetic.
27:32I obviously did something for you that night.
27:35Flicked a sort of switch, and now you're just playing a big game,
27:37because you want to get me again.
27:40Is that what you want?
27:41Listen, listen, Priya, right?
27:42This ain't about what I want.
27:44It's your engagement party.
27:46You're about to make Cindy the happiest woman,
27:49fulfil all her hopes and dreams,
27:51but instead, you're in here with me.
27:57Tell me why is that, Max?
28:12No kissing.
28:14I ain't your fiancé.
28:26Take care.
28:26.
28:26.
28:26.
28:26.
