00:29I'll see you next time
00:32My paper's here.
00:37Said he'd try and get it in today, if he could.
00:42Oh, here you are.
00:46Jobless Jimmy's Arch Folly, what's all this about?
00:49God almighty, I don't believe this. Listen to this.
00:52A Manor Park man has upstaged his neighbours in the garden ornament stakes
00:57with a 12-foot-high triumphal arch.
01:01Jobless Jimmy Corkill has beat the unemployment blues
01:04by taking a leaf from the book of yesteryear's rich eccentrics
01:08and built his own folly?
01:10I don't believe this.
01:13Hello?
01:15Jackie, I know you've got other things on your mind,
01:17but this journalist has made a laughing stock out of me.
01:20Is Mr Punk completely what a pillock?
01:24Come in.
01:27Have you got the report on Mrs Saunders' x-ray?
01:30Yeah, it's in my box there.
01:33Um, Charlotte.
01:35Listen, about last night, what Victoria said...
01:39I'm really sorry. I feel really bad about it.
01:42There's no need.
01:44Well, you see, the thing is, she's very confused,
01:47mentally, emotionally. She doesn't know what she's saying.
01:50Yeah, well, it must be terrible what she's going through.
01:52Don't worry about it.
01:54It's a funeral today.
01:57Yeah. I don't want to go.
01:59I'm wondering whether or not I can phone up and say something's dropped up.
02:02You can't.
02:03You're a friend.
02:05After all she's been through, she's going to need you there to support her.
02:12Bye.
02:12Bye.
02:15If it had been some public school prat with a beard who lived in London, that would be in the
02:21Tate gallery now.
02:22Yeah, well, I'm going to get on to them. I'm going to complain.
02:25Sorry.
02:27Oh, you're not even listening.
02:28Look, our Lindsay should be here by now and she hasn't shown her.
02:31It makes my blood boil.
02:33It's the same old story, isn't it, eh?
02:36If no rag like this has to suck up to the establishment and to hell with us.
02:40Yeah, forget our contribution, forget our history.
02:43Yeah, well, it stinks. I'm telling you, Jackie, it stinks!
02:46That'll be it. Go on, get it now. Hurry up.
02:50I should have spoken to him in the first place.
02:55Oh, hi, love. Come in.
02:58Hiya.
03:01Hiya.
03:02I didn't tell Shelley to come round.
03:04You're lucky you've got such a good friend.
03:07You going out?
03:09Yes, I am.
03:11And you're coming with me.
03:12Where?
03:13You'll find out.
03:15Do you want me to come and all?
03:18No, it's all right.
03:20OK.
03:23Aren't Jackie and Nathan here yet? We should be going.
03:27Do you think this will be OK?
03:31Maybe I should have got a hat.
03:32Look, fine.
03:35I wish you'd stop freezing me out.
03:38Look, Charlotte needed to know.
03:39The way you treated her was unforgivable.
03:41She was hurt.
03:42That's enough.
03:43It was cruel, not like you.
03:45I don't want to discuss it in the morning I bury my husband.
03:48Hiya, Vic.
03:51Do I look all right?
03:52Yeah, I look fine.
03:54OK.
03:55Let's go.
04:09All right, Jess?
04:10Ray?
04:10My granddaughter's back at last.
04:12Well, I hope they had better weather than we have.
04:13Hey, will you look at those sump tans?
04:15Happy New Year, love.
04:16Happy New Year.
04:17Happy New Year, love.
04:19Happy New Year.
04:20Happy New Year.
04:20Happy New Year.
04:20Is there a good one in the theater?
04:22Oh, it was brilliant.
04:23Hey, I'll take this into it.
04:24Nan, we've got my mum on this karaoke in this bar.
04:26All right.
04:26Mum was cheering and clapping for her, so she went back the next night.
04:29At two o'clock in the morning.
04:30She thought she was seeing us here, didn't she?
04:32Oh, I'm glad you had a nice time.
04:33I'm just nipping over to Jimmy's.
04:35It won't be long.
04:36What?
04:36Is your mum any better since I came back?
04:38Oh, yeah, she's fine.
04:39She's a lot more like her old self.
04:40Oh, that's good news.
04:41She was going to come back with us, but she was pushed for time.
04:43She's going to give you a ring tonight, though.
04:44OK.
04:45Hiya, then.
04:45Hiya.
04:47Inside.
04:47What were you saying?
04:48How you doing?
04:49Inside!
04:52Aw, thanks, Mick.
04:53All right.
04:54I've come back to a nice surprise, anyway.
04:55What?
04:56Musgroves have done a flit.
04:57I've just walked out the house and left it.
04:59Good riddance, eh?
05:00Yeah.
05:00And you've got another nice surprise inside.
05:02Come and see what Ray's done to the house.
05:05Oh, boot.
05:07But the picture looks good.
05:08That's not the point, Ray.
05:11The point is, they've missed the point.
05:13Well, that means more people are low about it.
05:15Yeah, too right.
05:16And everyone's going to think I am some sort of nutter.
05:22Well, we should be at Mark's another space with about ten minutes to spare.
05:25Do you want to get in the back of me, Vic?
05:26No, I'm moving down.
05:27Well, it seems pointless taking two cars.
05:29I'd prefer it.
05:30Right.
05:31Um, no problem.
05:32See you at the other end.
05:35What's this all about, then?
05:37I want us to go together.
05:39As a couple.
05:39It's your husband's funeral.
05:48I tortured myself over your brother there.
05:52Kept asking myself what I did wrong.
05:55Why was he no good?
05:56Why was he a smacker?
05:59He was only a kid.
06:02Not that bright.
06:06You're much cleverer.
06:08An oldie.
06:11You're a grown woman, so why did you do this?
06:14Why did you get involved in selling drugs?
06:20Gemma Johnson could have been lying in the grave like that.
06:24Or some other kid.
06:26Sorry.
06:27It was sorry's not good enough.
06:30You're a mother yourself, for God's sake.
06:33Do you want your own daughter growing up knowing she's got a criminal for a mother?
06:36Someone who makes money by wrecking other kids' lives?
06:40No.
06:43So why did you do this?
06:47I don't know.
06:50You love the whole idea of this.
06:54The lifestyle you kept talking about.
06:57But if it comes from drugs, it's rotten, and you of all people should have known us.
07:03But you just wanted to take the shortcut there, didn't you?
07:07You wanted to be passes.
07:09Like Barry Grant and Rose Finnegan, didn't you?
07:13Didn't you?
07:16I'm sorry.
07:17I'm sorry.
07:19Yeah.
07:21Would you have been sorry if Gemma hadn't collapsed?
07:23Oh no.
07:24You'd have been too busy counting your money while other kids made a mess of their lives with drugs.
07:28The only reason you're sorry is because you haven't made us.
07:31Because it's all gone wrong.
07:38So why should I take you back, eh?
07:42Why?
07:44You're stupid.
07:46I hate what I've done.
07:50You know the old neighbourhood thinks you're scum.
07:53I know.
07:59I'm still your daughter.
08:02I can't stand you not wanting me in your life.
08:07I just want to be normal.
08:09I mean, Kylie, you and me dad.
08:13Just like we used to be.
08:20Have you seen the local rag?
08:22Well, I haven't got time to sit reading newspapers.
08:24No, no, no.
08:25See, look, there's a picture of Jimmy in an interview.
08:27Jobless Jimmy's arch folly.
08:29He'd be furious.
08:31Heaven knows why Jackie even let him build it.
08:34I quite like it.
08:35Well, you haven't got property prices to consider.
08:37Something like this could knock thousands off the value of these houses.
08:41Oh, by the way, who phoned earlier?
08:42Oh, er, David from the bank.
08:45He's agreed in principle to giving me a loan.
08:48Really?
08:50So, er, have you had any more thoughts about what we were saying earlier?
08:55I've been far too busy.
08:57Ah, well, that was the whole point of me asking you, you see, to make things less busy for you.
09:00Well, I'm sorry, but I'll have to wait.
09:03See you later.
09:06Bye.
09:10Hey, Pete.
09:13Do you want some breakfast, love?
09:14No, we ate on the plane, thanks, then.
09:17It's all over now, Nicky.
09:19I'm still gonna live with it, but I'm not gonna let it ruin my life.
09:22Good.
09:24I spoke to Luke's mother before they left.
09:26Yeah?
09:27She came around to apologise to the family.
09:30She was heartbroken.
09:32Was she?
09:33Yeah.
09:34She's a nice woman.
09:36Yeah, I suppose she is.
09:39She's decided to stand by him.
09:41That's why they all left.
09:42God, how could she do that?
09:44He's her son, love.
09:47You'll understand one day when you've got kids of your own.
09:49But Luke will get his punishment.
09:51Every day of his life, he'll think about the shame he's brought on his own mother.
09:55And how deeply he's hurt her.
09:57And how much he's wronged a decent, ordinary family.
10:00So you just keep that in the back of your mind, eh?
10:02And keep looking forward.
10:04Every day will take you further away from this.
10:07But he won't have that luxury.
10:09Thanks, ma'am.
10:10You sure you don't want something to eat?
10:12No, thanks.
10:14Have you seen Jerome while we were away?
10:16I think he might have spent a couple of nights next door.
10:19But no.
10:19I haven't spoken to him.
10:21I wrote to him from Medina.
10:23And I apologise for everything I've done to him.
10:26I'm sure it'll be alright now, love.
10:36I don't know what I can say.
10:38I don't.
10:44I just wish I'd never got involved with any of them.
10:47Maybe coming here's made you think, eh?
10:51Drugs put him there.
10:54And I can't ever bring him back.
10:58I don't want to lose anyone else in me family because they've messed with drugs.
11:03I know.
11:06If I ever suspect that you've got involved with anything to do with people like that again, your feet won't
11:11touch alright?
11:13You'll be at that door in seconds.
11:16I can come back home.
11:19You're my daughter and I love you.
11:22It's just I don't like you that much.
11:24Right now.
11:26I've just got to prove I can trust you.
11:30I promise, Mum.
11:31I'll prove it.
11:34Well, you'll have to collect your stuff from Shelley's and...
11:37Why don't you move in when you pick Carly up from school?
11:41Oh, thanks, Mum.
11:43I really am grateful.
11:47I don't think I could stand not seeing you...
11:48I've got to go to work, alright?
12:08Well, Simone must know where they've gone. I mean, she wouldn't just get off without telling me.
12:11They don't, love. They did a flit.
12:13What do you mean they did a flit?
12:15They've run away. They don't want anyone to know where they are.
12:18Well, why not?
12:20Kelly's mum and dad found out what Luke did to Nicky and they were too ashamed to stay around here
12:24anymore.
12:24They had nothing to do with Kel.
12:26She was my mate. She was Leo's girlfriend.
12:29And what's he had to say about all this?
12:32Hasn't he tried to look for her?
12:33I don't know, love.
12:35He won't be able to find her, love.
12:36The talk is they've moved to Ireland.
12:39Leo will be gutted.
12:40Kelly will be in all.
12:41It's just another thing Luke's done to his family.
12:43He's forced his own little sister to leave her school and her friends.
12:47But it's better for our Nicky, don't you think?
12:49Yeah, I suppose so.
12:52Oh, er, Nan, is this the mail?
12:55Um, Kelly might have left me a letter or something.
12:58There's nothing there, love.
12:59That's just a pile of circulars and rubbish.
13:02Yeah.
13:02I wish people would stop sending these circulars addressed to your dad.
13:05It's upsetting.
13:07So, did you know everyone there, Vic?
13:10No, not really.
13:11They were mostly people that marked you from work.
13:14It's a pity Mark didn't really have any family to speak of.
13:17I mean, there weren't that many people there for his mother, either.
13:20Vic?
13:21No, thanks.
13:23Well, do you fancy a brandy or something?
13:25No, nothing, thanks.
13:27Look, I know it sounds a bit funny, but I'm cold.
13:30Do you mind if I go and have a bath and get changed?
13:32No, you go ahead.
13:33Yeah, go and get warm.
13:38It wasn't really much of a turnout, was it?
13:40Did you know anyone, Darren?
13:43Sorry?
14:00I don't know what to do, Dad.
14:01I don't know what to do with that.
14:14Hiya.
14:16Alright.
14:17How are ya?
14:18I'm okay.
14:19Are they for me? Welcome home present.
14:21You?
14:23Mother for Gemma.
14:24Gemma?
14:26She's erm...
14:27She's not been well. I'm going to see her.
14:30How will you go around to ours when you've seen her?
14:33No, I've got things to do.
14:36Catch you around, eh?
14:44Did you see that?
14:45I've got the idea, yeah.
14:47She just comes up to me like nothing's happened.
14:49I mean, I got these for Gemma and she had the nerve to think that I bought them for her.
14:53You could try talking to her.
14:54She dumped all over me at Christmas, Mich.
14:56I mean, she can't just expect to carry on like nothing's happened.
14:59If she'd apologise, Stephen, then...
15:02Come on.
15:05I saw you come in before, but, erm, we kept on coming in like the house.
15:08Yeah. How was your holiday?
15:09It was great.
15:10Did you miss me?
15:10Yeah, I might as on.
15:14You didn't come off, did ya?
15:15I might as on.
15:17Course I didn't. I had a great time, but I missed you.
15:19Come in and give us a kiss, then.
15:20Never mind that. Look, I've come in the post.
15:28Three grand credit limit.
15:30I'll have to sign it and then we can do some serious spending.
15:33What do you think we should?
15:35It was the plan, wasn't it?
15:36I know, but see my dad's name, aren't it?
15:39It's up to you.
15:40I'll cut it up with your life.
15:44We've got it now, haven't we?
15:46Look at all the other people around here, living it up on plastic.
15:49Don't you think you should?
15:51I saw loads of people on holiday, flashing gold cards and everything.
15:55It's not gonna worry your dad if you use it, is it?
15:59Yeah.
16:00Yeah, why not?
16:01Why shouldn't we be able to buy what we want?
16:03Come here.
16:08I spent hours writing him that letter.
16:10And now he doesn't even wanna know.
16:12Did you tell him you'd stop the stupid drinking?
16:14I told him my letter.
16:16He wouldn't talk to me at all.
16:18He wouldn't even come round here.
16:21Just give him time, love.
16:24Grandad!
16:25Oh, what are you, love?
16:27Oh, look at her.
16:30Big kiss for her grandad.
16:32Oh, nice to have you back.
16:33I'm glad your mum's done that.
16:34So am I.
16:35Will she disown you for good?
16:36Oh, she wouldn't do that.
16:38I wouldn't be so sure.
16:39Hey, listen, all's well that ends well, yeah?
16:41Go and get the kettle on, make a break.
16:43She'll be home soon.
16:43Go on, kids, in you go.
16:45The new millennium arch.
16:46Hey, you like it, Mr Corkle?
16:48Yeah?
16:49Yeah, it's a pity left off school.
16:51Never ever finish that type of fee, or...
16:53One of them would've been better instead.
16:56Oh.
17:01Hiya, Mick.
17:03Erm, I just called round to give this to your Gemma.
17:06No chance.
17:08Hey, Lindsay Corkle tried the same thing.
17:10We don't want presents bought with drug money by drug dealers.
17:13Mick, it's not like that.
17:15Lindsay brought them people into the club.
17:17I didn't know anything about it.
17:18Pulled the other one.
17:19It's true.
17:20It's down to hear that your Gemma got in the club and got hold of drugs.
17:22Not me.
17:23I know nothing about it.
17:25Well, that just makes me think.
17:26How many girls your age can afford health clubs?
17:29And wine bars and nightclubs, eh?
17:31How come you got yourself so far so quick?
17:33I've never had anything to do with drugs.
17:35Never.
17:35I hate them.
17:36As far as I'm concerned, that's been bought with the proceeds of drug dealing.
17:40So you know what you can do with it.
17:41Don't you dare class me along with the Cork Hills.
17:43Go on, get lost.
17:44Get out of it.
17:44Because no matter what you say, you're no better than the scumbags over the road.
17:47All you care about is money.
17:55I've been thinking about your suggestion.
17:59Yeah?
18:00Well, it does make sense.
18:02About the children.
18:03You looking after them in the day and then me taking over in the evening.
18:06Partners then?
18:08Not partners, no.
18:11But I am prepared to offer you a salary as maitre d'.
18:16Maitre d'.
18:17Salary.
18:19Oh, I know it's not really what you wanted.
18:22Maitre d'.
18:23I've got a lot of other names on file.
18:26Forget them. I'm your man.
18:27You do realise you'll be my employee.
18:31On wages.
18:32No shared profit.
18:34No problem.
18:35Done it before.
18:37Well, what about all your work without yachting outfit?
18:40One phone call and my seafaring days are over.
18:44Shall I start tonight?
18:46Well, yes I suppose.
18:50Right, you leave everything to me.
18:52Stay at home.
18:53Oh, and put your feet up.
18:58Take no notice of him.
19:00The guy's just upset about his daughter.
19:02Don't you warn you about going round there?
19:03Yeah, but what he says...
19:05Just ignore him, Jackie.
19:06I've lived on here most of my life.
19:08You know, I don't want people to think I've been making money out of drugs.
19:10And I can't stand the thoughts of being clasped along with that lot next door.
19:14You know it's not true.
19:15Exactly.
19:16You know that offer you've had for the bar?
19:18Tell their lawyer I'll accept it.
19:20Well, steady. I thought you wanted to consider it.
19:21Yeah, but you said it was a good offer.
19:23And I'm only concerned with money.
19:25Look, I'll talk to them later.
19:27I think you're a bit shocked.
19:29Yeah, but I definitely want a salad though.
19:31I've had enough.
19:33Sorry.
19:34You must think I'm terrible.
19:36No, of course not.
19:37It's been a bad day.
19:38Well, I've warmed up at least.
19:40Are you feeling okay?
19:42I'm just relieved it's over, really.
19:45Glad I had Darren with me for the service.
19:49I take it you two know that we're an item again.
19:51Wipe that last bit. She never said that.
19:53Don't be silly, Doc. They have to know.
19:56Just stop. Now.
19:57No.
19:58I think I'd better get back to the office.
20:00Yeah, I'll come with you.
20:02There's no need to go, guys.
20:09Um, see you later.
20:13Come on, it's on the table.
20:16Oh, brilliant, Mummy favourite.
20:18Wow, look at that, mine too.
20:20Hey, you eat it all up like a good girl now.
20:23Hey, I made up your mother's let you come back, kid.
20:25Yeah.
20:28Before we start, let's get something straight.
20:30She's back here on my terms, alright?
20:33Yeah, yeah, of course she is.
20:34And them terms apply to you and all.
20:37Any more talking in corners?
20:39Any more contact with anyone to do with you-know-what?
20:42And the club and all that.
20:45You're both out.
20:47This is the last chance.
20:49For both of you.
20:51Alright?
20:53Yeah.
20:56Being here together like a family.
20:58That's what's important.
21:00I can't remember the last time we all sat round like this.
21:03It's nice, isn't it?
21:05It's all I want.
21:07I said it because it's the truth!
21:09But you're not thinking straight.
21:11You don't care what you do or say.
21:12You need time to grieve properly.
21:15But we should be together.
21:16We can't! What will people say?
21:18People should know.
21:19You've just buried your husband.
21:20Now you're telling our friends that we're an item.
21:22If I confirm what you're saying, it makes me look like I'm taking advantage of that.
21:26Oh, it's just absolute crap and you know it.
21:28What you mean is that you're quite happy to carry on seeing Charlotte until such time as you think I'm
21:33okay and then you can win her.
21:34You should be upset not carrying on like this!
21:37No, I'm sorry. All of this is just so that you can avoid having to make a decision about me
21:40and Charlotte.
21:41You're not in your right mind!
21:41I want a decision!
21:44Mark did away with himself so that we could be together.
21:46You don't know that!
21:47Of course he did!
21:48Why are you trying to deny it?
21:51God!
21:51Who is it?
21:53You know I'm right.
21:55Hi.
21:56I thought I'd check to see if Victoria's alright.
21:58She's fine.
21:59A bit tired.
22:01Maybe she'll call back tomorrow?
22:02No.
22:03Come in Charlotte.
22:05She's not really herself.
22:08You've come at exactly the right time.
22:12Come on Darren.
22:13Choose.
22:14Who do you want? Charlotte or me?
22:16Stop it.
22:17No.
22:17I want to know.
22:19Say yes to me and we can get married, we can have kids, we can do the whole thing.
22:23Say yes to her and you can do whatever you want.
22:29This isn't right.
22:30I want to know.
22:32I need to know.
22:33Vic, please.
22:34No.
22:34Not until you choose.
22:36Her or me.
22:37I should go.
22:38No.
22:38Not until he makes a decision.
22:40Darren, you have to choose.
22:41Her or me.
22:42I can't make that decision!
22:44Fine.
22:45You won't say so.
22:46I presume you've chosen her.
22:47It's not like that.
22:48You can't treat people like this.
22:50What are you doing?
22:51You've chosen her.
22:52I haven't chosen anyone.
22:53The whole idea is ridiculous.
22:55You have chosen.
22:57It's a waste of time me being here.
23:03I'm sorry.
23:04She shouldn't have invited you in.
23:06Go after her, go on.
23:06She's out of her mind.
23:08It's obvious.
23:08Go on.
23:12Victoria!
23:15Vic!
23:16Stop it!
23:16Now, come on!
23:17Vic!
23:18Come on!
23:37It is going to turn up soon.
23:39I do wish she'd stop saying that.
23:40Back on the clothes.
23:41I can't escape.
23:42When does the father of the bride get to meet the new in-laws then?
23:45I never meant to hear you.
23:46I am tired of people doing me favours.
23:49Look, I'm not sure about this, you know.
23:51I thought your dad did for it.
23:53Yeah, but it's creepy, you know, me pretending to be your dad.
23:59Comedy out of the bag next on Four Friends starts it all off for Friday in just a tick.
24:04Thank You!
24:12And before, I was still in there!
24:14I beautiful wine joke and words of it.
24:15I was like I'm dead to my grave!
24:15And good luck for sure.
24:16It's a veryominable place for him to be the room.
24:16I thought it was from a place where I thought it was like your truck gets it all on me
24:16Lord.
24:17The fate of the king, luckily should take me to be the flick list book.
