00:10It's perfect. Stop fussing over it.
00:13I can't.
00:17Everything's got to be absolutely bang on.
00:22It's our first one together, isn't it?
00:26It means everything.
00:30I'm going to need some white paper plates to set the colour off nicely when he slices it.
00:34I'm sure Lewis will appreciate your hard work helping with the party prep,
00:37but I suspect he'd just be happy to have you there.
00:40I mean, that's the main thing.
00:42Well, I am there.
00:45I'm like my dad.
00:48Didn't believe in birthdays.
00:50Said that they made kids spoil.
00:53Really?
00:54No parties.
00:56No cake.
00:58Just give us 50p and send us to the sweet shop, which at the time meant everything, trust me.
01:06I didn't know it at the time, but he was always being chased for money.
01:09He had people on him.
01:10Every time the doorbell went, we had to fit the deck.
01:12It was like ding-dong, ding-dong.
01:13That must have been hard for him.
01:15Nah.
01:16He was just a bad man, Claudette.
01:20And we were all better off when he finally did a run-off.
01:23But you're doing well now.
01:25And that's what matters.
01:26Well, er, ignore me.
01:29I'm a right melt.
01:31And I'll go and find some white paper plates.
01:35Hello.
01:35What are your plans today?
01:37I've got a lead on a new job opportunity.
01:40Oh, well.
01:43Good luck.
01:46Stay out of trouble.
01:50Have a lovely day.
02:14Did you speak to Dawn about what I said yesterday?
02:17Good afternoon to you, too.
02:19Her concern over Billy's a bit much, no?
02:22It's not an issue.
02:23Gabby, I don't think you're going to impress the WI with that toxic gem.
02:27It's kimchi.
02:29I thought you'd recognise a fellow microbe when you see one.
02:32Or live with one.
02:33Oh, come on.
02:34No, you come on.
02:35She needs to focus on something other than mine and Billy's relationship.
02:39You really, you've not spoken to her about her feelings for Billy.
02:43See?
02:44There it is.
02:46That stab of doubt is only going to fester and grow, you know.
02:48I haven't spoken to her because unlike you, I'm not paranoid.
02:51Well, if you were that convinced, you'd just have the conversation and clear the air.
02:57Hey.
03:01Okay.
03:03Just a little bit of banter that escalated.
03:06Oh, about me and Billy.
03:08You and Billy?
03:09Mm.
03:10You know what I mean.
03:12You did seem pretty aggrieved on his behalf.
03:16Yeah, because he's my kid's dad.
03:19And I love Gabby, I do, but she's her own worst enemy.
03:22Anyway, I think he's going to call time, innit?
03:24He's not into the high-maintenance thing and I feel bad for Gabby, I do, but he's their dad.
03:29He comes first.
03:37Okay, three, two, one!
03:42I love it!
03:43Wait, can we keep them up all the time?
03:45Now, I know you like plants.
03:47I asked Dr. Liam what to get you, but he started speaking in Latin, so I improvised.
03:51Ta-da!
03:51Oh, very cool.
03:53Very spiky.
03:55Can I call them Ross?
03:56No.
03:57Now, where's those massive cheesy puffs going?
03:59Oh, oh, yeah, yeah, bring them all in, but remember, leave room for the cake.
04:02Kev's bringing it now.
04:03Yeah, don't be scoffing it until people get in, right?
04:07Somebody hold the cake!
04:08Oh, wait, actually, I want to video it for the unboxing.
04:13Listen, come on.
04:14Okay, Eddie, go!
04:18I love the colours.
04:20Wait, is this my favourite fluffy jumper?
04:24Yeah, it was a bit of a touching goal, but I think I got it there in the end.
04:30I feel so spoiled.
04:32Oh, so you should, and I got you that as well.
04:36I know that I've been a bit all over the place at the moment, and
04:43I saw that, and I couldn't.
04:45How do you know what?
04:46I'll just open it.
04:46Yeah, it's fine.
04:51I love it.
04:56Never mind.
04:56Pass the parcel.
04:57Pass this sick bag.
05:01Hey.
05:04Look, you can, uh, tell me to do one, but, um, I miss you.
05:10Miss hanging out.
05:11Well, I have been here this whole time.
05:13Yeah, sorry, um, so, what's, what's new?
05:19Well, I might be leaving.
05:21Really?
05:22I ain't told Mum yet, because I ain't had the interview, so keep your gobs shut.
05:26It's a contract for a British firm in Germany.
05:29Refill in an airport in Dusseldorf.
05:32Great experience, good pay.
05:34Wow.
05:35Okay, well, I mean, they'd be crazy not to snap you up.
05:37Do most people speak English, that?
05:39No, I think the, uh, question that you need to ask yourself is, is it far enough away from him?
05:44And the answer to that is no.
05:47New Zealand, maybe.
05:48So, have you sorted hotels and flights? I could maybe help you out with that?
05:53Interview's on Zoom.
05:55It's 2026.
05:56Of course.
05:58Well, uh, I'll miss you.
06:00End your sarcasm.
06:01Have you suddenly remembered that he's your kid brother or something?
06:04Because I'm not sure I'm buying that.
06:07What's your angle this time?
06:09Or are you just keeping him on ice, till you think of one?
06:13Right.
06:14I need to get back to work.
06:16Can I pop in at some point?
06:18Put your brains about working abroad.
06:20I'm telling Mum.
06:21Yeah, of course.
06:22Come round for your tea whenever.
06:24Cheers.
06:25See you later, mate.
06:26See you later.
06:28Love happy families, mate.
06:43Candles!
06:43How could I forget cake candles?
06:48What's in the bag, Steve-o?
06:50What bag?
06:51That bag.
06:55Tools?
06:55Yeah, all right.
06:56Bob the Builder.
06:58We agreed that we weren't going to hit home farm.
07:00No, we didn't agree anything.
07:01You decided not to do the job, so I'm going to do it on me Todd.
07:04Come with me.
07:04On Lewis's birthday?
07:06Are you mad?
07:07I'm not doing it and neither are you.
07:10Move.
07:11No.
07:12If you want to get out of here, you're going to have to go through me.
07:16I can't believe that nobody has realised that these are not the genuine branded parts.
07:22Just like cornflakes.
07:26Cornflakes?
07:27Mm-hmm.
07:28They're all made in the same factory, aren't they?
07:29The expensive ones, the cheap ones.
07:31It's an urban myth, that.
07:32Er, that's exactly what they want me to believe.
07:38Did you order a stripper?
07:41You and I need a little talk.
07:43In private.
07:45Whoops.
07:46Butterfingers.
07:48There you go.
07:52Butterfingers.
07:52I've got it, thanks.
07:59You think I'm the bad guy.
08:02You're not so innocent yourself, are you?
08:08Well, thank you so much for your help.
08:10Just putting things in bowls.
08:12And I told him which ones to use.
08:14And Vinny's nipped up to get some candles, because Kev's taking a while.
08:18Have you heard from him?
08:19No, but he was obsessing over white paper plates earlier.
08:22But the shop didn't have him.
08:24Hi.
08:25Hi.
08:25Happy birthday.
08:27Hi.
08:27It looks great.
08:30I've put a bit of cash in for your London trip.
08:36A proposal.
08:37Yes.
08:37The answer's yes.
08:39Shouldn't we live together first?
08:40I'll just open it as if I want to marry you.
08:43Oh, my God. Look, I love it. It's so cute.
08:48Matchy-matchy, even cuter.
08:50BFFs forever.
08:51Our partners in crime.
08:52I thought this was a birthday, not a wedding.
08:55Either way, you're punching.
08:56Yeah, you, if you don't shoot your face.
08:57Oh, well, I had one of these.
09:00Well, it belonged to my dad.
09:01It must be worth a bop now.
09:03I had a huge crush on Bon Jovi.
09:05You do know Bon Jovi's the whole band, right?
09:08Oh, yeah.
09:09Well, it was a birthday gift from Kev.
09:12Oh.
09:14Well, it's a pity he's not here to listen to it, then.
09:16Should we give him a call?
09:18Oh, no, no, no. No, Biggie.
09:20I'm sure he'll be here soon.
09:25Let me put your pin on.
09:32Steve, just give us a bug, mate.
09:33If you are not the boss of me...
09:35I can't do this to me.
09:37Not today.
09:37I don't need any trouble today.
09:39Yeah, and you won't get any.
09:39Now, get out of your way.
09:41Just stay here and flush for a bit.
09:43You said it yourself.
09:43We've landed on our feet.
09:45I hope you get a proper job.
09:46I've been there.
09:47Done that in Spain, mate.
09:48It didn't exactly work out for me.
09:50Just...
09:50I've come to the party.
09:51Last thing I need is you getting nipped.
09:53Look, I am doing this, with or without you.
09:55You need to remember who you are.
09:57You're Kev Townsend.
09:58I'm Kevin Barton.
09:59Even that is just weird.
10:01What's happened to you?
10:03It's called being a dad, mate.
10:10And I've told you, this is my life.
10:13This is my village.
10:14See you later, Kev.
10:40I'm not sure what you're implying.
10:42I think you are.
10:43But, just for some clarity,
10:46poison Noah against me and you will find out.
10:50Well, I would be worried about that if, er,
10:52you had something on me.
10:54I'm sure I could find something.
10:55I doubt it.
10:56I'm a good boy.
10:58Respectable businessman.
11:00But I don't know exactly who you are.
11:02No, you don't.
11:04I'm trying to be a decent man.
11:07And a good brother.
11:09So I think you and I need to set up some boundaries.
11:13I'll go first.
11:15Don't try and turn Noah against me.
11:18I think you already did that by yourself.
11:21But OK.
11:23Fair enough.
11:24I'll do you a favour.
11:25If you want to make things right with Noah,
11:27and you've decided to turn over a new leaf,
11:30I won't try and swap her out.
11:33That's exactly what I want.
11:34Excellent.
11:36Both on the same page, then.
11:42Thanks for popping in.
11:43Do be a stranger.
11:57Oh, OK, ladies.
11:58Here we go.
11:59Here we go.
12:00Round, round, baby.
12:02Round, round.
12:03Na, na, na, na, na.
12:04Can I just say some of your mix?
12:06Nah, I'm more passionate and boring than hot.
12:08But go on, Caudet.
12:09Give it some welly, though.
12:10Go on.
12:11I think I need a kick replacement.
12:13Mine are doing very nicely.
12:15Go on, Mum.
12:16You still got it.
12:17I'm pulled.
12:1950 quid.
12:20All this is going to the bishop.
12:21You'll love it.
12:23Are you all right, then?
12:24Sorry.
12:25Yeah, yeah.
12:25Candles.
12:27Thanks.
12:27Oh, we can't do the honours
12:29till the Starbaker gets here.
12:30Yeah, you're right.
12:33What?
12:36Sorry, Kevin and Steve.
12:39Who's Steve?
12:39You know, Kev's dodgy, mate.
12:42They're outside acting all shifty
12:43and they had a crowbar
12:44and then they just drove over.
12:46Sorry, I'm here.
12:47Who did?
12:47Kev?
12:49Can you please just tell me?
12:52Look, he's clearly on a job, isn't he?
12:54On Lewis's birthday?
12:55Don't be ridiculous.
12:56Then where is he now?
12:57Hey, you are worth ten of that idiot.
12:59I'm sorry, I've ruined your party now, haven't I?
13:00No, no, no.
13:01You haven't ruined anything.
13:03Sorry.
13:04Sos.
13:05Sorry about me.
13:07Whole Tidale view.
13:08Wow.
13:09I couldn't get the right candles
13:11or paper plates
13:12and they were vital
13:13so Steve said that he'd drive me into town
13:15and his car broke down and...
13:16It's convenient.
13:17Where'd you break down?
13:19Somewhere...
13:19Well, miles out.
13:21Vinny saw you and Steve.
13:23What was with the crowbar?
13:29Crowbar?
13:31Look, I'm sorry about yesterday.
13:33I should have had you back a bit more.
13:35Yeah, because we're a team, right?
13:39And, um...
13:39Look, I'm sorry.
13:41Sometimes my brain moves twice as fast as my mouth.
13:45But don't think for a second
13:46that I'm apologising to Dawn
13:47because she was in the wrong first.
13:51Look, I do want to make it up to you, though.
13:55There's more.
13:58Whoa, whoa, whoa!
14:00Don't mind us.
14:01Oh, sorry.
14:02I thought we had a place to ourselves.
14:05Okay, we sorted things out
14:06and now we're looking to the future.
14:09Well, it's good that you still have one.
14:10Well, when you know, you know.
14:12Right, Dawn?
14:14Yeah.
14:17It's a simple question, mate.
14:18What were you and Steve arguing over a crowbar for?
14:21We weren't arguing over a crowbar.
14:23Steve was dropping off some tools too, mate,
14:24and I got a lift into town
14:26and what he saw was me
14:28telling him that I had to get back here quick
14:30because of this.
14:32Obviously.
14:32You think I'm stupid?
14:34I can't believe you would go on the rub today
14:36out of all days.
14:37I didn't.
14:38Listen, kid, I am telling you the truth.
14:40Stop lying, Kev.
14:41We can tell you're lying.
14:42Your lips are moving.
14:44Look, this kangaroo court isn't helping anyone.
14:46Least of all Lewis.
14:47Oh, I agree.
14:47He's a liar.
14:48He'll let him down on the worst possible day.
14:50Unforgivable.
14:50What has it got to do with you?
14:57How many times have I...
14:58NAND, that's how many NAND!
15:01Right, you're clearly lying to just make up stupid excuses.
15:04I thought I knew who you were,
15:05but I just can't handle someone like you in my life.
15:11Just get out!
15:18You know what?
15:20No!
15:21Kev!
15:21No, I'm not leaving here
15:23until I've been given a decent chance to explain what happened.
15:26Well, just leave it.
15:27Ouch.
15:27Don't touch me.
15:29Get off.
15:30He's already got it, Dad.
15:32Kev!
15:41You all right?
15:43Yep.
15:44Well, you seemed a bit surprised that me and Gabby had sorted things out.
15:48Nope, not really.
15:51Well, I'm allowed to be worried about you.
15:54Not Dawn.
15:56You're my ex.
15:57You're not my social worker.
15:59I know.
16:00I know.
16:01It's just we have kids together, don't we?
16:02Yeah, it doesn't give you the right to interfere.
16:04Billy, I just care about you.
16:05And I don't want you sleepwalking into some car crash of a relationship
16:08which will affect the kids too.
16:09Joe wouldn't have been my first choice to co-parent either.
16:13I had to suck that up.
16:14I know.
16:17I know, I'm such a hypocrite.
16:21I love Gabby.
16:23I do, I just don't want you getting hurt.
16:25Says the woman who smashed my heart into a billion pieces.
16:29Thanks to Gabby, I'm actually happy.
16:31Why can't you be happy for me?
16:34It's because you're jealous.
16:35You can't stand the fact that I'm moving on.
16:37No, it's not that.
16:38You know what, just forget about it.
16:39Billy!
16:39I'm not interested.
16:41Just tell the kids, I'll see them tomorrow.
16:48Kid, I've never clipped you on purpose.
16:53You've got to know that.
16:55Worst father ever.
16:57And you've got some stiff competition round here.
17:01I would never deliberately hurt a hair on your head.
17:05That's what they all say.
17:06Whoa, take one more step.
17:08Go on.
17:08I dare you.
17:09Kevin, you need to leave.
17:12Now.
17:14Go on.
17:15Or I'll call the police.
17:16It's your choice.
17:17No, no, no.
17:18Don't call the police.
17:20I won't be responsible to send him in back to prison.
17:24He'll just do that himself.
17:40He'll just do that himself.
17:48You still there?
17:49Yes.
17:50Been waiting to speak to you.
17:52What for?
17:53Messed up with Joe before, didn't I?
17:55I know.
17:56Don't worry.
17:57Trust me.
17:58Little Lord Posh Boy will not be popping in any time soon.
18:00I know, but he's a weasel.
18:02What if he worked out what we were doing?
18:03He hasn't.
18:04Clear this.
18:08I'm sorry to hear that, mate.
18:11What a judgy bunch of whiners.
18:15Thanks for having me back.
18:18Well, I could hardly tell them where I really was, could I?
18:22Just glad that you listened to me and turned the car around.
18:24Yeah, I'm passed up on an easy score.
18:26That house is begging to be it.
18:30I just covered for you and lost me son in the process.
18:35Yeah, look, you know what?
18:36I'm gutted for you.
18:38But if everyone's so quick to jump to conclusions, maybe you're better off without them.
18:42You know what I don't understand?
18:44Why your own lad didn't even believe you?
18:51God.
19:05Well, you're up to something.
19:07Tell me the truth.
19:08No.
19:09Like Kev said, I was helping out a mate.
19:14It's true.
19:16I'll pray for you tonight.
19:18At Evensong.
19:24You see, that is the trouble with these upstanding pillars of the community.
19:29They feel superior.
19:31Too quick to condemn.
19:34Unfairly.
19:35I thought at least she'd believe me.
19:38I mean, I know I am lying and all that, but still.
19:42They're a little more than strangers, Kev.
19:45You stick with me, Kev.
19:47I'll always have your back.
19:59I'll always have your back.
19:59Losing?
20:02What's happened?
20:04Nothing.
20:06You're no better than to turn your queen over like that.
20:09It's, um, it's gauche.
20:11I don't care, Graeme.
20:14You've had a row with Doran.
20:16No, no, we're fine.
20:18Hmm.
20:20Something's happened, and we can play 20 questions or, um...
20:24I don't really want to talk.
20:26No.
20:26I don't know, but it looks like you might need to.
20:33Okay.
20:35Your mission, should you choose to accept it.
20:39I've got a rather smug uncle who's moving around like he's untouchable.
20:44Kev, then.
20:45I was trying to reconnect with Noah today, and he was just staring.
20:49I went to the depot to tell him to back off, and he...
20:53accepted.
20:54A bit too easily.
20:56Something's up.
20:58I want a full report on my desk ASAP.
21:01Consider it done.
21:11Your move.
