00:29I'll see you next time.
00:50I'll see you next time.
01:00Well, if you do, will you tell her I want to see her?
01:02Yes.
01:08Mick, how's Gemma, love?
01:18I'll see you next time.
01:26I'll see you next time.
01:44I'll see you next time.
01:57What?
01:57What?
01:59You, is it?
02:00I threw her out the house.
02:01There's nothing left to say, is there?
02:02I am not having a living bag here.
02:06Oh, you having your brekkie?
02:08Yeah.
02:10Hiya.
02:13Any coffee going?
02:18Kylie, would you run upstairs to the aid in cupboard, love, and get a clean tea towel
02:21for me?
02:22All right.
02:22Please.
02:23Go on.
02:24It's a good girl.
02:26Your stuff's all packed up.
02:29It's in there.
02:32How are you going to say?
02:34And you know what?
02:35It's really exciting because we might be going home later.
02:41I wish your auntie Beth could have been here for you.
02:44I wish you could have met her.
02:48You'd have loved her.
02:49Just like I did.
02:56Hiya.
02:57I'm going for a run to get the morning papers.
02:59Do you, um, need anything?
03:00Erm, no, I don't think so.
03:02Listen.
03:03How did things end up with Victoria last night?
03:06Who knows?
03:08All got a bit late and involved.
03:09Still sleeping it off, I think.
03:11Is she still screwing herself up with guilt over Mark?
03:14I guess she is, yeah.
03:15She'll need some talk, I know, to feeling like that.
03:18Yeah.
03:19She will.
03:20I'll see you later.
03:26Your mother wants to know how long you're going to be.
03:28Is she that desperate to get rid of me?
03:31I'd say so, yeah.
03:33And what about you?
03:34Just get a move on and get yourself out of here, eh?
03:38I'll get it.
03:40What have you told Kylie?
03:42Nothing.
03:43We thought we'd leave that pleasure to you.
03:46And what about Gemma?
03:48Have you heard if she's any better?
03:50As if you care.
03:52What makes you think I wouldn't care?
03:53Because she wouldn't be in hospital now, have you cared?
03:56Er, Shirley for you.
03:59Hi.
04:00Hi.
04:03Have I come at a bad time?
04:05Should be able to take the baby home then today with a bit of luck.
04:08Yeah, I remember when we brought you home from the Aussie.
04:10I had everything perfect for your mother.
04:12That's not what she told us.
04:13Yes, I did.
04:14I bought a brand new two-bar lucky fire and a crater brown ale.
04:17Ah, crater brown ale.
04:18I knew I'd forgotten something.
04:19Well, I had to have something to wet the baby's head with.
04:23Hello, Mick.
04:24All right, Mick.
04:24How's things?
04:25We've had some news about Gemma.
04:27She's well enough to be moved out of intensive care.
04:29Oh, God.
04:29So she's going to be okay, then?
04:31Well, there's a long way to go, yes.
04:33Everybody's thinking about her.
04:34Yeah, everyone's asking.
04:36So is the baby?
04:37Oh, you know.
04:38She's fine.
04:39I'll give my best to reach for me.
04:41Yeah, will do, mate.
04:42Yeah.
04:44What a nightmare.
04:49Remember before Christmas, we need one for my mum big style.
04:53Well, it's catching.
04:55I'm being thrown out.
04:59Oh, Lindsay.
05:01Are you going to go?
05:02I haven't worked that one out yet.
05:03Yeah.
05:05Well, look, if you're really stuck, you can always come over to my place.
05:10Well, I wouldn't mind if I was on my own, but I've got Kylie as well.
05:13I assumed you would.
05:14That's why I'm offering.
05:16Look, the last thing you need is a knight wandering the streets.
05:19Well, if you're sure, it'd be a great help.
05:21Just for tonight.
05:24Look, I'm sorry, Susanna, but I'm after Lindsay's blood myself.
05:27But I can't see before tonight, really, because I'm just on my way to the hospital
05:30to see Mike, the baby and Rachel, so I'll have to see you later, okay?
05:33Bye.
05:33Bye.
05:35Hi.
05:37Hiya.
05:37How you doing?
05:39Suffering.
05:40Turn about.
05:41He went for a run.
05:43Did he manage to talk things through with him last night?
05:45Erm, sort of.
05:48He went on and on trying to stop me feeling guilty about Mark.
05:51Yeah, well, Nathan doesn't think he should feel guilty, and neither do I.
05:55You weren't married to him.
05:56Look, I'm sorry, I need to get some water.
05:59Definitely drowned too many sorrows last night.
06:01Listen, I don't have to go to the hospital, you know.
06:04Would you rather have stayed here and kept you company?
06:06Oh, no, no, you go on.
06:07I'll be fine.
06:08Okay, well, I'll see you later.
06:10I'm sure Darren won't be too long.
06:22Thanks for the present, love. It was much appreciated.
06:24Well, just make sure you use it.
06:27I'll try.
06:33Bye.
06:34See you, Kyle.
06:41I'll get off then.
06:45Yeah.
06:47Well, go on then.
06:57Hail Village, please.
07:13Hiya.
07:14You had any thoughts about her name yet?
07:16No, I'm still working on it.
07:18You can always call her after me, you know.
07:20Ron?
07:21Baby Ronette.
07:22I think that'll sound lovely.
07:23Ronette? No way.
07:25And everything's all right with her, is it?
07:27Yeah, she had to have a blood test before,
07:28but I thought she might have a bit of jaundice, but she's fine.
07:31Oh, did they stick a nasty needle in you, my love?
07:35Well, never mind.
07:36Hey, listen, do you know when your Auntie Jackie
07:38and your Uncle Nathan have a baby?
07:40Guess what?
07:40When your little cousin has his blood tested,
07:43it'll be blue, won't it?
07:48What?
07:48Well, why didn't you tell me what you've been up to?
07:54I don't know.
07:55I didn't want to spoil things between us, I suppose.
07:58Spoil what?
08:00How have we been with each other these last few months, eh?
08:04Better than we have been for years.
08:06Miles better.
08:09And after all the bad Christmases I've put you through in the past,
08:12I didn't want to do that to you again.
08:15Because I thought you deserved better this time.
08:17And if I had told you what was going on with our Lindsay,
08:20it would have just been another
08:23typical Corkills Christmas, wouldn't it?
08:26And I didn't want that for you.
08:30Do you know what?
08:33You couldn't have gift-wrapped me a better present than that.
08:37This is so weird.
08:40Contacting Mark's bank and his dentist
08:43and the electricity board.
08:49What am I like?
08:52What am I really like?
08:55In what way, sorry?
08:58Well, one minute I'm having this great time
09:01and scuba diving and socialising
09:05and I'm successful in work
09:06and being an all-round really nice person.
09:12And then, out of nowhere, I'm this selfish, self-centred witch
09:16that drove her husband to kill himself.
09:17Vic, come on.
09:20There is nothing to indicate that it wasn't an accident.
09:24Nothing.
09:26We were in the pub while he was in...
09:29He was in the pits of despair.
09:32Whilst he was dying.
09:33Couldn't he have been rushing out to join us and have tripped?
09:37You said yourself you knew what state of mind he was in.
09:42He'd still be alive if I'd loved him enough to stay with him in the first place.
09:47Mark was my husband. He was my responsibility.
09:50And I let him down.
09:51I let him down.
10:07Dad?
10:12Hiya.
10:14Where am I?
10:16You're being looked after.
10:18In the hospital.
10:21You've had his word for a few days, you know, babe.
10:24Why are you crying?
10:26Me?
10:27No, I'm not a...
10:29I simply put a load of mustard on me sonny.
10:32My eyes are watering like my dear.
10:34What happened?
10:35Why am I here?
10:37It doesn't matter for now.
10:39All that matters is you getting better.
10:41Okay?
10:43It's starting us from now.
11:01Isn't she gorgeous?
11:02Yeah, she is. Mind you, they say it's kept a generation, you know.
11:05What?
11:06The rugged good looks.
11:07She's a girl. She doesn't want to look rugged.
11:09All right, then. Brains and beauty, then.
11:11Hey, gee.
11:12He's got a scoffed a lot there, the way you're carrying on.
11:13Sorry, they're a bit more. Is that wrong?
11:15I don't mind. There's lots too many for me.
11:17Yeah, but we want some to take home, don't we?
11:19Em, listen, I'm going to have to get off, you know.
11:21Oh, thanks for coming, Jack. It's been really nice seeing you.
11:24Em, has anyone heard how Gemma Johnson is?
11:26Yeah, we've seen Mick before. She's out of intensive care.
11:29Oh, right, I was going to call in and see her, but I didn't know how Mick would take her.
11:32You know, me being linked to the club and that.
11:33Hey, hey, don't be talking like that. You're not to blame.
11:36I am the licensee, though, as the police keep reminding me.
11:39Maybe I should just leave her.
11:40It's been nice to know who she is, though.
11:42Listen, why don't I go away?
11:45As long as you know people are thinking about them.
11:47Quick, let's hide the chocolates before he comes back.
11:50Aw, it was really sad about Gemma, wasn't it?
11:52It was awful. I mean, she could have died there and then.
11:54I hope you've been on Lindsay's back about it.
11:56It's been impossible trying to get hold of her, but a pity I want to do catch up with her.
11:59Yeah, you two. Baby doesn't want to hear about all the bad things in the world.
12:02She's only a day old.
12:03Fair enough. Sorry. Yes, no, better get off. I'll see you later.
12:07See you on to Jackie.
12:10We're gonna have to stop calling her baby, aren't we?
12:13Yeah, she might get fed up with it by the time she's 16.
12:15So, name time soon, eh?
12:17When we're ready, Telly.
12:19I was so certain she was gonna be a boy.
12:21Can't get used to the idea of thinking up girls' names.
12:22Oh, me. So you're looking forward to going home now, there's three of us?
12:26A bit daunting, innit?
12:28A bit.
12:29It's a weird thing that that little light grooms her.
12:33She is gorgeous, isn't she?
12:35Yeah, of course she is.
12:36Takes after you.
12:37And me.
12:42Why would a 13-year-old want to pop her pillow on?
12:45Something that could leave her in a state like this?
12:47Well, you'd be able to ask her, Mick, won't you, when she's fitting well again?
12:52Yeah, I suppose.
12:54I sat by our Tony's bed, you know.
12:56Just like you are there.
12:58I was willing him to live.
13:00Willing him.
13:01But he never opened his eyes again.
13:04So I can imagine how relieved you must be feeling knowing that she's on the mend.
13:09Yeah, I guess.
13:11I found myself praying last night, you know what?
13:16I can't remember the last time I said a prayer.
13:18Probably when I was a kid.
13:20Dad.
13:22I'm still here, babe.
13:24I'm Mr Dixon.
13:25Hey, loads of people have been asking about you, you know.
13:28Wanting you to get well soon.
13:30We'll try.
13:33Dad, when can I go out?
13:38Soon, babe.
13:40Soon.
13:46She'll be fine, Mick.
13:48She'll be okay.
13:54And these flowers, lovely, eh?
13:56From your Nana Dee Dee and Tam.
13:58And this card's from your Auntie Jackie.
14:00You'll like her.
14:02She was well into girl power before it even existed.
14:05Now, I don't mind if you end up with Jackie's money.
14:08But she can be a bit bossy sometimes.
14:11And this card's from your Auntie Katie.
14:13Now, don't go and ask her about advice about boyfriends.
14:16Because she's always getting it wrong for herself.
14:20And this one, this is from your Nana Mandy.
14:28And I'll always love you as much as Nana Mandy loved me.
14:31Even when it was hard for her to show it.
14:36Because sometimes my daddy made it very hard for Nana Mandy to even remember that we were all supposed to
14:47look after each other and love each other.
14:51Hiya.
14:53How long have you been there?
14:54I've only just come now.
14:55Did you hear me going on?
14:57I bet you.
14:58I'm sorry.
14:59I should have let you see I was here.
15:05Look Rich, I know I've said it before, and I know what worries you, us having a little girl now.
15:12But I'm not like your dad, and I never will be.
15:16And they're proud of us, you know.
15:18We're a new family now.
15:20Your chance to start again.
15:31Will's gone off?
15:32Yeah.
15:33All tucked up.
15:34Gonna have a go.
15:35We'll see.
15:38You shouldn't have kept everything secret from me, you know.
15:41Even if you were trying to save Christmas from getting ruined.
15:45Yeah, I know.
15:47But I couldn't face getting things spoiled between us.
15:54Not when we've just been getting on so well together.
15:58Yeah, we have, haven't we?
15:59I thought if you found out, you'd end up blaming me.
16:02As per usual.
16:04The old you, you mean?
16:06I thought I'd lose you, Jackie.
16:10And I couldn't face that.
16:11Jack, I've been mad to you, you know that.
16:14That must be why I love you.
16:17Oh.
16:18Should I take that as a compliment then?
16:21Is it that long since I've said something nice about you, forgotten what it sounds like?
16:27Next time something needs sorting out, include me.
16:30Okay?
16:32Okay.
16:34So where do we go now with Arlen's?
16:39No way.
16:42She's gone too far this time.
16:47When my mum was throwing me out, she told me to go back to the gutter where I belonged.
16:50Oh, she won't have meant it.
16:51She was just upset.
16:52Oh, she did.
16:53I know she meant it.
16:55Oh, Shelly, I just feel so ashamed.
16:58I mean, I love her.
17:00I really think the world of Arlen, I just now have let them down.
17:04Yeah, that me, Dad.
17:08You're all I've got left now.
17:11Don't buggy me.
17:18Right.
17:18Cheers.
17:19So, Council of War.
17:21What are we going to do about Lindsay?
17:23Well, I feel like shooting her.
17:24She's lied to me, she's robbed off me, and now she's jeopardised my licence.
17:28And all the time she was supposed to be our friend.
17:31What do you expect, getting involved with the Corkills, luring yourself to their level?
17:34Max, if you haven't got anything helpful to say, then just don't bother.
17:37Okay?
17:38Oh, well, I don't know.
17:39I should have listened to you months ago.
17:41Well, I've completely had it with her.
17:42What about you?
17:43Well, even though I haven't got any shares in the club, I mean, she's having a major effect
17:47on my business.
17:48Negative effect?
17:49But you can't pull out now.
17:51You've got far too much invested in it.
17:53And even after the Trucks incident.
17:55And because, well, if the club does go under, the restaurant's had it.
17:59Bad publicity will probably ruin it.
18:02Well, maybe they won't close the club on the strength of one incident.
18:06Maybe they'll let the licence police keep an eye on it for a while.
18:09On me as the licencee, you mean?
18:11Well, I don't even want to be involved in the place anymore.
18:13And I'm sorry if that messes things up for you.
18:16But I wish I'd never even met you, Ella Corkill.
18:18I just want out.
18:26Oh, well.
18:27Thanks for listening.
18:29And letting me stay over.
18:30Yeah, that's no problem.
18:31Oh, I don't know what I'd do without you.
18:32You'd cope.
18:34Right then.
18:35Well, I do really appreciate you bailing me out like this.
18:40That's what friends do, isn't it?
18:41Look out for each other.
18:43Yeah, well, thanks anyway.
18:45I'll get myself sorted tomorrow.
18:47I'll find somewhere more permanent.
18:48You don't have to.
18:49They'll be kicking you out, you know.
18:52Does that mean you want me to stay there?
18:55Lindsay, I'm really tired.
18:58I'm all talked out.
19:01Okay.
19:02Okay.
19:03Don't even get a hug goodnight?
19:06Look.
19:07This has been a really tough day for you.
19:10You need sleep.
19:11I need sleep.
19:16Let's see what tomorrow brings, yeah?
19:19Goodnight.
19:20Goodnight.
19:23When we were talking last night, I wanted to tell you what happened with Mark, but I didn't think you
19:30were in a fit state to take it in.
19:32I wasn't that drunk.
19:33No.
19:34I mean emotionally.
19:38You were convinced you were to blame, and you wouldn't listen to what I was trying to tell you.
19:42Which was?
19:47When I went back to the house the first time, Mark had out a bottle of pills.
19:54What?
19:57He said that he had a headache.
19:58He said that he had a headache.
20:00But he knew what I was thinking, and he flushed them all away.
20:05Do you think he would have overdosed if...?
20:07I really don't know.
20:10What I can't come to terms with is the fact that I left him alone.
20:15Even after suspecting what he might be wanting to do.
20:20I have a duty as a doctor to make an informed judgement about his state of mind.
20:28So why did I leave him?
20:30Because you did.
20:33We all did.
20:35We were just interested in going out and enjoying ourselves.
20:39No. No. Not me.
20:41If I thought he was suicidal...
20:43And I'm not talking about me as a doctor here, I'm talking about me as a person.
20:51Ever since you went back to Mark, I have been so jealous of him.
20:59All that time, all I really wanted was to get you back from him.
21:06And I know now that even if the fall was an accident, I should have stayed with him.
21:15But I didn't.
21:18So what I'm saying is...
21:21There's a chance I didn't.
21:26Because...
21:28I wanted him...
21:32to kill himself.
21:36So you could get me back?
21:38And perhaps he knew that deep down.
21:44So, when I have been telling you that it's not your fault...
21:50because it was mine...
21:55I should have stayed with him.
21:57Been there for him.
22:00Helped him, but I didn't.
22:01I turned my back on him.
22:05So...
22:06You're saying...
22:08you wanted Mark dead...
22:10to clear the way for us to get back together?
22:13No, no, no.
22:14Not exactly wanted him dead.
22:16Not exactly dead.
22:18More...
22:18I just...
22:21out of the way.
22:22And you seriously think...
22:25that I'd want to live my life with you after that?
22:29After you wanted Mark dead?
22:43God, he's called you a lot of scum for years.
22:45And you know what? He's right.
22:46You are the lot of you.
22:47You're nothing but scum.
22:48Why are you talking?
22:49You're making it sound as if I pushed him down the stairs.
22:51You might as well have done.
22:52I should have known better than to get involved with two amateurs!
22:55Guess what? I've had an idea about names.
22:57Yeah?
22:58I think he'd be dead nice to call her Beth.
23:04Well, after all that name-calling, get ready to exercise your laughing tackle.
23:07Friday Night Comedy on 4 includes the first in a brand new series of Frasier
23:11and kicks off with some familiar friends next.
