00:29I'll see you next time.
00:30I'll see you next time.
01:01Leo!
01:03What's this then?
01:04Rewrite last night?
01:05I just came round to sort things out, that's all.
01:07Yeah, you could have fooled me.
01:10Hey, Mum.
01:12Hiya, love.
01:13All right, James, you got your gym stuff together?
01:16Yeah.
01:16You sure?
01:17I said I had, didn't I?
01:19Well, you better get off to school then.
01:21You don't want to be late on top of everything else, do you?
01:23Are you going to be here tonight, Mum?
01:25Of course I am.
01:26Promise?
01:27Love, I'm going to be here in Liverpool as long as you need me.
01:35Oh, someone's been having a clear out.
01:37Well, if there's going to be two of us managing in my room, we've got to make a bit of
01:40space for Jerome.
01:41Em?
01:41Do you still want these?
01:50Emily, you'll break the door on that if you're not careful.
01:54What is the matter with you this morning?
01:56I don't think it's fair that Jerome's allowed to move back in here, and I'm not even allowed to bring
02:01Tim round.
02:02We've talked about this I don't know how many times.
02:05You just think he's a thieving scally.
02:07I don't think.
02:07I know.
02:08It's not fair, Nan.
02:09He's changed.
02:10But you're not even giving him a chance.
02:11I thought that was what Christianity was all about, forgiving people.
02:15That's enough of your lip, thank you, madam.
02:17And shouldn't you be getting ready for school?
02:19It's study I own.
02:21Which reminds me, I need some peace and quiet.
02:25Oh, right, well, me and Jerome, we'll try not to make too much noise.
02:27No, we move all his stuff, no.
02:29Just leave it, love.
02:31Should I sling these?
02:32I should hang on to them till she's in a better frame of mind.
02:35Well, let's get on.
02:36Jerome's going to be here at nine o'clock.
02:38Do you know, every time I've seen that Tim lad, he's seemed fairly pleasant.
02:43It's not what he seems, it's what he does that worries me.
02:46Well, it wouldn't do any harm, would it?
02:49Would you invite him round like, see how it goes?
02:51Your mother would have a fit if she knew he'd even let him pass the front door.
02:55Well, what, Margie doesn't know, can't her, can it?
02:57And as Emily says, everyone deserves a second chance.
03:00I don't want her thinking she can twist me round her little finger every time she has a tantrum.
03:04There's no fear of that, is there, eh?
03:09Oh, did you go to the cash and carry?
03:10Mission successfully accomplished, and, um, all the stuff at the restaurant I've left in the boot of the car.
03:15Oh, right, I'll do it in a minute.
03:17Looking for Harry's other sock.
03:19You know, actually, Josie's back at Mick's again.
03:21Well, I don't think Mick should give a house remark to the way she's behaved.
03:25Well, then, we don't really know what went on between those two.
03:28Well, I know she walked out and left him with two children to bring up by himself.
03:33Well, people make mistakes, and maybe she's come back to put things right.
03:37Maybe.
03:38But if I were Mick, I wouldn't trust her as far as you could throw.
03:41Ah!
03:42Success.
03:44Now, I think we'd better get down to the restaurant and make sure everything's in order for the new chef.
03:53What's this?
03:54It's a brand-new double fritton, seeing as though I didn't fancy another night in the world's smallest bed.
04:00Brilliant, that is.
04:01There's only one problem.
04:03What's that?
04:03I've only got a single duvet.
04:06Thoughts of that already.
04:10There you go.
04:12Well, that's brilliant.
04:13Hey, it's a bit like us.
04:15It's a bit like a new home together, doesn't it?
04:17Yeah, well, that's what I wanted it to feel like.
04:20A new beginning?
04:21Yes.
04:26Come on, let's get this inside.
04:29What's all this, then?
04:30How do you want your own?
04:31Oh, God.
04:32If I'd have known anyone's got you as a housewoman present.
04:34You don't have to be so sarky.
04:36Why not?
04:46I've been thinking.
04:47If you want, you can invite Tim round for his tea tonight.
04:51Ah, thanks, Nan.
04:53Oh, we made up when I tell him.
04:55In fact, I'm going to go round and tell him now before he goes to work.
04:57Now, we're just doing this to see how it goes, OK?
04:59Hey, I don't want Tim getting the idea he thinks he can come round here any time he likes.
05:03And don't be all day about it.
05:05You're supposed to be studying, remember?
05:07You've relented.
05:09More fool me.
05:09No.
05:11I'm glad you did that.
05:12I just hope I don't live to regret it.
05:15Those two are well away, aren't they?
05:18Isn't it funny how things turn out?
05:20I mean, who'd have thought, even a few weeks ago, that this house would end up so full again?
05:25Hey, if I'm in the way now that Jerome's come back...
05:27We agreed that you were staying and that's the end of it.
05:30The only thing that worries me is you stuck night after night on that blessed couch.
05:34It can't be doing your back one bit of good.
05:35Yeah, well, I've given that matter a lot of careful thought.
05:39And I think, I think I've come up with the perfect solution.
05:42What's this?
05:43Another one of your gadgets?
05:45Oh, no.
05:46I wouldn't call it a gadget, exactly.
05:48Well, what is it, then?
05:49You'll have to wait and see, won't you?
05:51Look, I've got to get going.
05:52I've got to go and pick something up.
05:54Are you back for your lunch?
05:55Oh, yes, please, yeah.
05:56It shouldn't take more than half an hour at the most.
05:58I'll see you later.
06:07We're getting it sorted.
06:08Why don't you just pay to get someone in to do it for you?
06:10Because some of us haven't got that kind of cash to flash around.
06:13Well, I think it'd be money better spent than bribing Gemma to go to school.
06:17I thought you hadn't come round here to start a fight.
06:20I'm sorry, I really didn't mean it the way it came out.
06:23Anyway, at the end of the day, I'm hardly the one to pass judgment on anyone.
06:27Mistakes I've made in my time.
06:30All I'm concerned about right now is the kids.
06:33Where have I heard that before?
06:34Just give me a chance instead of jumping down my neck all the time.
06:37Me jumping down your neck?
06:39I'm not blaming you for bribing Gemma, all right?
06:41What's done is done.
06:42What we should be doing is making sure Lee and Gems don't get into any more trouble.
06:46Yeah?
06:47I'll go along with that.
06:49So, what I was thinking, if you weren't busy tonight, if you let me buy you dinner.
06:56Dinner?
06:56I say lunch, but I've already promised to catch up with a couple of old girlfriends.
07:00So what do you say?
07:01Your choice?
07:03Sounds like it could be nice.
07:06That's what I was hoping, you'd say.
07:10My nan said that your lad's come for tea tonight.
07:13Oh, how do you manage that?
07:14I told you that it wasn't very Christian not to give someone a second chance.
07:18So, what time's your lunch hour?
07:19Oh, twelve.
07:20Why?
07:21Because I'm going to come round and teach you all about DIY.
07:24Why do I want to know about DIY?
07:26It's Ray's big thing.
07:27Yeah, but what's that got to do with me?
07:29Well, the way to get in my nan's good books is to get round, Ray.
07:32So, you're going to go in and pretend that you're dead keen on DIY.
07:35Oh, but I don't know nothing about DIY.
07:36That's why I'm going to teach you.
07:38Ray will be made up because he'll have someone to talk about the grouting with
07:41and my nan will be dead pleased because you and Ray will be ready to meet.
07:43That way we'll be able to see each other all the time.
07:45You're serious about this, aren't you?
07:47Of course I am.
07:47I'll be down a bar to block you about half past twelve.
07:50Make sure you'll have a pad and a pen with you
07:51because you've got a lot of learning to do before tonight.
07:56So, what do you reckon?
07:57Yeah.
07:58It's amazing.
08:00Well, what do you reckon about trying out?
08:04Behave, what have we now looked at?
08:05I'm not thinking of having me wicked way with you.
08:07I just want to make sure that I've got value from winning.
08:10That's all.
08:10Yeah, I'm always a wife.
08:12Nick, can you come here in a minute?
08:14What do I tell you?
08:20I thought she said he'd got to get something for his back.
08:23Well, maybe he's decided to forget his aches and pains
08:26and whisk you off for a night of passion.
08:33I take it it's all right to park it here.
08:35Well, I suppose it's okay for the moment.
08:37Well, I was thinking of leaving it here permanent-like.
08:40Permanent?
08:40Yeah, I thought it'd stop me getting under your feet so much.
08:42I've been watching on my very own bedroom on wheels.
09:05Do you think these look all right?
09:06Oh, now you've come to mention it now.
09:10I don't think these are good enough to serve to anybody.
09:12I don't think we've got any choice.
09:15I think he had a celebration drink before he came.
09:19When I offered him a coffee,
09:20he asked me if I was insinuating it was an alcoholic.
09:23Well, we'll just have to get through the evening.
09:25But I don't think he'll get through the next hour.
09:27The stage is in.
09:32Hiya.
09:33Hiya, Max.
09:36It's the new chef, artistic temperament.
09:40Please.
09:41Cheers, Max.
09:44I'll just get you the menu.
09:51So much for peaceful and relaxing, eh?
09:54Don't worry, it'll be fine.
10:06I'll just put them in water.
10:09Now, don't wait for me.
10:10You just dig in, OK?
10:15Come out of the front garden, didn't they?
10:16No.
10:17I bought them from the garage.
10:18Oh, you bought them?
10:19Well, there's a first.
10:21So, um, what's with the caravan?
10:24Oh, um, Ray's moving in there.
10:26Yeah.
10:27That's really handy, isn't it?
10:28I mean, any time you get sick of the place,
10:29you can just stop in there and be out of the way of it.
10:31I think you'll find, Tim,
10:32that most people can't just down tools
10:34and sail away whenever the mood takes them.
10:36Oh, yeah.
10:37I mean, I realise that.
10:38It's just that you can't just turn your back on responsibilities, can you?
10:41It's just that, in theory,
10:42it'd be a nice idea, wouldn't it?
10:46Potatoes, Tim?
10:50Everything all right?
10:51Yeah, lovely, guys.
10:54How's the chef's situation?
10:56Everything's fine, fine.
10:57Everything's under control.
11:01I suppose you must do this a lot, eh?
11:03You mean me, Ray?
11:04Not really.
11:06Goldman's not exactly a busy place.
11:08Doesn't sound like your source of thing.
11:10Well, no, complain it.
11:20Everything all right, Susanna?
11:23No.
11:24It's a complete disaster.
11:25The new chef's an alcoholic.
11:27When I asked him to leave some cooking sherry behind for the trifold,
11:30he told me where to stick it and it's stopped out.
11:33Um, so what are you gonna do?
11:35What happened to Clou?
11:36Closed to the restaurant.
11:37You know Mick's a qualified chef.
11:44Everything all right, Tim?
11:46Yeah, fine.
11:47It's lovely, thanks.
11:49You sure you're okay?
11:50I mean, you're not usually this quiet.
11:52Yeah, I'm okay.
11:56So, Ray, um, I believe you're into DIY.
11:58Well, in a big way, like.
12:00It's just that Emily was saying that you've done a few things for Mrs Shadwick around here.
12:03Yeah, well, I just wanted to pay Jessie back for her hospitality, you know.
12:07So, um, what have you done?
12:09Well, um, oh, um, I'll put a new kitchen in for Jessie.
12:13Oh, can I, um, have a look?
12:15Yeah, if you want to.
12:16I mean, uh, it's, uh, it's nothing special.
12:20Not, um, casing the joints, are you?
12:22Because I don't think you'll get much for a couple of Jessie's sherry glasses.
12:26Hey, nice finish.
12:26Yeah, it's cherry wood.
12:27It's, it's come up a treat, even if, uh, say so myself.
12:30And it's hard wearing, eh?
12:31Since when have you been into fitter kitchens?
12:33Tim's always been into do it yourself.
12:35Only when he couldn't get somebody else to do it with him.
12:38Where did you learn all about DIY, Tim?
12:40Well, um, I was just hanging around, you know, the shops, reading DIY magazines and stuff.
12:44Oh, yeah, there's a lot of totty in them, um, DIY magazines, isn't there?
12:49So, um, what's your next plans for your DIY?
12:51Well, I've got an idea for, uh, putting a set of, uh, shelves up on the wall.
12:55This one?
12:59That's a partitioning wall.
13:00Be a bit tricky that, won't it?
13:01Do you know, you're absolutely right.
13:04Yeah, but there's a way around that.
13:05All you do is buy those screws.
13:06You know those special ones?
13:08You know the ones with the clips, and they fasten on the other side?
13:11Me and Tim could pick you some of them up tomorrow in town, if you like.
13:13Couldn't we, Tim?
13:14Yeah, sure, no problem.
13:15I bet you didn't know there was another side's Tim, did you?
13:18No.
13:20More apple pie, Tim.
13:26I knew I should have let you talk into you, Miss.
13:28Oh, make us a laugh.
13:30You and me run in the kitchen.
13:32It's supposed to be our night out, talking about our kids.
13:34Yeah, well, I can talk and chop at the same time.
13:37I'm talented like that, see?
13:39Oh, great.
13:41What?
13:41I've got a black pepper.
13:44Excuse me, Miss.
13:46Josie, you can't, you can't do that.
13:48Everything all right?
13:51Number 12's order, ready and waiting.
13:55Right.
13:58Poor face, good.
14:00Josie.
14:02Nick, lighten up.
14:03Hey.
14:08Yeah, well, thanks for having me, Mr. Shadwick.
14:11Oh, yeah, and thanks for showing me the tiles.
14:13Top grouting.
14:14Oh, it's nice to meet somebody who appreciates the work that goes into things.
14:18Erm, Tim.
14:19You know, I'm surprised that you haven't sorted out the Johnson's living room.
14:22What with you being such a, er, a DIY freak.
14:26Tell Nick, if ever he needs a hand to do his place up, I'm sure you and I can do
14:29it very quickly.
14:30Yeah, well, I think Mick's already getting it sorted.
14:33Anyway, thanks for having me again.
14:34I'll let myself, I'll save you the bother, eh?
14:37Bye.
14:38See ya.
14:39Bye.
14:40Bye.
14:42Well?
14:45Nan?
14:47What do you think?
14:48Can you come back again?
14:52Nan?
14:55All right.
14:56He can come round again.
14:57But I don't want him thinking he can use this place as a bolthole, whatever he feels like it.
15:01And don't think I was taken in by all that DIY rubbish.
15:04I didn't come up the Mersey in a bubble, you know.
15:06And don't be all night.
15:07You've got school tomorrow, remember?
15:13I did a lot of thinking last night.
15:16And, you know, it really brought it home to me, what Leo said.
15:18Just how much I'd lost touch with the kids.
15:22In the wilds, I feel like that, aren't you?
15:24And them being up here and you down on board me.
15:26I lost touch with Leo and Jem's long before that.
15:28Long before I ever went down to Cornwall.
15:31But, you know, it's my fault.
15:34No one's perfect, Jules.
15:36I know you think I'm a heartless bitch.
15:39I never thought that, Jules.
15:40Well, I haven't exactly been there for Leo and Jem when they needed me.
15:43And you always have.
15:45They were better off with you than they ever would have been with me.
15:50You know what?
15:52I never thought I'd hear you say that.
15:54I never thought I'd hear me admit it.
15:56But I still miss him, Mick.
15:59You know, Jules.
16:00I'm not saying that you don't care.
16:03It's just, I don't know.
16:05Well, I suppose what I'm trying to say is that I don't really think that you're ready to be a
16:09mum.
16:10That's no excuse.
16:12Jules.
16:13How old are you when I'm Leo was born?
16:15But other people do.
16:16Other people settle down and do a good job.
16:18It's just me.
16:19That's all it is.
16:20Always looking for the next bit of excitement.
16:22Never happy.
16:23I never know what I've got till it's gone.
16:28I managed to sort it out, eh?
16:30Leroy and everything.
16:32Yeah.
16:33I think I've finally grown up.
16:35It's just taken me a lot longer than everyone else.
16:37Yeah.
16:38Put it out on yourself.
16:40It's the truth.
16:42But all I want now is to make it up to the kids.
16:45And be the sort of mother I should have been years ago.
16:48Because I know I'm not going to get too many more chances.
16:51What about your nan?
16:52She's fine.
16:53Oh, good.
16:54Because I really thought Jerome was going to drop me in it.
16:56You're just a meth, eh?
16:57I'm talking about staring.
16:58He's just jealous because I've got the good-looking sister.
17:01Hey, I'm going to really miss these secret meetings in here.
17:04Creeping around in some freezing cold garage.
17:07I'm there.
17:08Emily!
17:09Got a gun.
17:18Oh, you didn't need to clear up after yourselves.
17:22All part of the service.
17:24Well, let me just say you two saved my life this evening.
17:27And once more, table 12 takes the best devil chicken they've ever tasted.
17:31All down to make special ingredients.
17:34Special ingredients.
17:35Jules's little job, that's all.
17:36Well, I'd like you to accept these as a thank you for stepping into the breach so valiantly this evening.
17:44You didn't have to do that, Susanna.
17:46Oh, you didn't have to give up your evening for me.
17:48It was a pleasure, wasn't it, Mick?
17:50Yeah, it was.
17:51Enjoy this.
17:52Well, leave the rest to us and enjoy the rest of your evening.
17:56What's left of it, anyway.
17:59We will.
18:00Don't worry.
18:11Don't worry.
18:14Tee up.
18:16Oh, come in, love.
18:17Come in.
18:18Thanks.
18:21Have you seen that sign?
18:23Stand up for the arch.
18:24The arch stands up for you.
18:26That's very profound, is that?
18:27But that board doesn't look too safe up there.
18:29Safe?
18:29Somebody's going to have a nasty accident out there before he's finished.
18:32Well, do you want me to have a word with him?
18:34No.
18:34What's the point?
18:35It's not as though he'd take any notice.
18:38You sure you're going to be all right in here?
18:40Hey.
18:41Yes, home from home is this, you know.
18:42Many of the nights I've spent in here when I've been in the doghouse with Reanie.
18:45She made you stay in the caravan.
18:46Well, it wasn't that much of a hardship.
18:50You didn't have to do this, you know.
18:51Well, I didn't want to impose on you more than I had to.
18:54You haven't been imposing.
18:57In fact, I was just thinking earlier
18:59how nice it is to have a man around the house again.
19:03And I was thinking how nice it was to be part of something again.
19:05With a family, you know.
19:09Well, I'd better let you turn in.
19:11Yeah, yeah, I probably should.
19:14Well, er, night, Jess.
19:21Sleep tight.
19:29So, did you just both have a good night?
19:31Yeah, it was all right.
19:32Me and your mum ended up doing the cooking
19:34because the chef walked out.
19:35It was a good offer, guys.
19:36You need us to be in fun.
19:37It was.
19:39All right, I'm here to move.
19:40All right, sir.
19:43Hey, what's watching that?
19:45I think it's your bedtime.
19:47Are you staying over tonight?
19:50I'm just going to have a quick drink with your dad
19:52and I'm going back.
19:53I think we're both knackered after Slavin' way over those hot pans.
19:56I'll get a couple of glasses.
19:58Yeah, they'll be lovely.
20:01Go on.
20:02Let me and your dad have a couple of minutes to ourselves.
20:06Good night.
20:08Good night, love.
20:15Cheers.
20:17Cheers.
20:18To old times and to us.
20:26Well, I should say we deserve this after tonight.
20:29Lucky Mick and Josie were around to step in.
20:33Feel awful about wrecking their evening.
20:35Well, I wouldn't say we wrecked it.
20:36Every time I looked in on them,
20:37they were behaving like a pair of school kids.
20:40They seemed to be getting on rather well together, didn't they?
20:46What?
20:50Look, I know I can't convince you
20:53that nothing went on between Lindsay and me.
20:55No, it's all right, Max.
20:58There's no need to rake over old arguments.
21:01Just forget it, dear.
21:04Okay.
21:08Truce?
21:09Truce.
21:14I thought it was really nice tonight.
21:16You and me.
21:17And despite everything that's happened,
21:19we can still be mates.
21:20It wasn't always like that.
21:23Yeah, but however bad things have got between us,
21:26we've never really fallen out.
21:28Eight years.
21:29You're seeing the pass through Rose called it's Bex now.
21:32No, I'm not.
21:33Not really.
21:35I've never been able to understand couples
21:37when they split up.
21:38And they just don't want to see the other person anymore,
21:41you know?
21:42It just seems such a waste to me.
21:45I can understand it.
21:47And sometimes I think that's what you need to do
21:48to get over someone.
21:50You need to get angry
21:51to hate them.
21:54So, did you ever hate me?
21:56Yeah, I did.
22:02And do you still hate me now?
22:05Wouldn't be here now if I did.
22:10What the hell do you think you're playing at?
22:12Don't you fancy me anymore?
22:14You're a married woman now, Josie.
22:16I mean, how would Leroy feel if he knew you were up here
22:18offering yourself on a plate?
22:20Excuse me, but you've been making the moves
22:22as well as me all night.
22:23How have I been making the moves?
22:25Oh, come on.
22:26The things you've been saying,
22:27the little looks,
22:28the little silences.
22:29Jos, the only moves that have been going on here tonight
22:31have been going on in your head, all right?
22:33I get it.
22:34I get what all this is about.
22:36It's about Leroy, isn't it?
22:38Leroy?
22:39You're jealous because I found somebody else.
22:41It's got nothing to do with that.
22:42Oh, yes it has.
22:44So you string me along all night
22:45just so you have the pleasure of turning me down.
22:50You really don't change, do you, Jos?
22:52You still think the whole world revolves around you.
22:55And you're still as gutless and pathetic as ever.
22:58Fine.
22:58Because you can just get out of here right now.
23:00And if you think you're having anything more to do
23:02with my kids after this behaviour...
23:05Your kids?
23:06Yeah, my kids.
23:07Because as you said yourself,
23:09I'm the muggers that put in the graph
23:10bringing them up myself.
23:11Yeah.
23:12And you did such a great job, didn't you?
23:13Our gems ending up in hospital offer, Ed,
23:15on I don't know what.
23:16At least I was there,
23:17which is more than you ever managed.
23:18I know you start twisting it around.
23:20Twisting it around?
23:21Oh, Jos, I'm just being truthful.
23:24But that's something you don't like to hear.
23:26Well, let me tell you something now.
23:27You're not welcome here.
23:29Now or ever.
23:31Yeah?
23:32Well, we'll see about that.
23:34Because if you think you're going to keep me away from my kids,
23:36I'm going to fight you every inch of the way
23:38and that's a promise.
23:40Believe me.
23:49You know, I feel like I've been bribing you
23:51to go back to your old school.
23:52You promised me that money.
23:54I could have played for England, mate.
23:55Yeah, right.
23:56What's this?
23:57You obviously made a big impression on him.
23:59It must be nice, Sam,
24:00having someone feel that strongly about you.
24:02Why, who's done that?
24:03You have to come to some kind of arrangement.
24:05Arrangement?
24:06Are you serious?
24:07Me come out with the two of you?
24:08Yeah.
24:09Yeah.
24:12If you can't speak the lingo and you hate fish,
24:14then there might be trouble being big in Japan.
24:17The Real Holiday Show heads there next.
