00:27I'll see you next time.
00:36Arthur, Michelle, get up. I want you down here in two seconds flat.
00:50Oh, shut up. No, not you. I wish I was a cat.
00:56Come on.
01:00Now, one of those all-time Christmas classics coming in with one wizard, and I wish it could be Christmas
01:06every day.
01:07Christmas.
01:10You wouldn't wake up if I shut myself.
01:12Right, come on, then. No falling asleep at the table. I want you on your feet, in your clothes and
01:16out.
01:17I've been finished, yeah?
01:18You cleaned the house up yesterday. It's like a new bin.
01:20Yes, and it still looks like a dump. It's a house of pulpers, and I can't sit twiddling me fingers
01:26till 11 o'clock.
01:27But I should be here to meet her. I never gave you a thought. I should have said yesterday, give
01:30us the day off.
01:31Arthur, you're a working man. You've got to be seen to be working.
01:35Look, I'll have the day off and help you.
01:36No, you won't. I want a nice, peaceful house. Extra spick, extra span, and nobody except the baby and me
01:42in it.
01:42So this Mrs Lyons, or whatever her name is, when she comes to make her report, she can't say we're
01:47too crowded,
01:48or that Mum shouldn't be here, or Michelle shouldn't be here, or the baby shouldn't be here, or I shouldn't
01:53be here.
01:53Sometimes, God knows, I wish I wasn't.
01:56She's only coming to sort your Mum out.
01:58Arthur, while she's in this house, she's going to have her nose into every corner, her finger on every speck
02:04of dust,
02:05trying to prove that we can't look after ourselves, and if we get it wrong, they will try to send
02:10us off in different directions,
02:11and I'm not having that. I'm not having it.
02:14What are you talking about?
02:17Arthur, we are overcrowded. We've got Mum coming home sick, a new baby in the house, Michelle pregnant, Mark run
02:25off.
02:26Now, you put that down on paper, and they'll have us in care before we can blink.
02:30Now then, no more rabbiting. Anyone left under that broom in ten seconds goes out with the crumbs.
02:35I'm off.
02:36Just like Molly.
02:37Right.
02:42I'm sorry. Did I wake you? I'm really sorry.
02:45Yeah, I was asleep. What time is it?
02:477.40, Thursday, the 5th of December.
02:517.40.
02:52I was working till five o'clock. I have a two hours sleep.
02:56Go to bed, then?
02:57I was in bed.
02:59You know, what are you doing up at this time for, anyway?
03:01My body still wants to keep working hours.
03:03Your body could still have a job.
03:04Why didn't you come to bed?
03:06I didn't want to disturb you.
03:07I never used to mind being disturbed.
03:10I couldn't face it.
03:12It doesn't feel like our bed anymore.
03:14Your bed, not our bed.
03:16What?
03:17Even the room's begun to smell differently.
03:20What do you mean?
03:21Look, I don't want to talk about it.
03:21I want to talk about it.
03:22I don't want to talk about it.
03:24I've got to freshen up, have a shave, and go out.
03:26Go out? You were just unconscious.
03:28Yeah, till you woke me up.
03:29And that reminded me I've got to go out.
03:32Will you be coming to the darts match tonight?
03:33I doubt it.
03:34Well, we could do with some support.
03:36I'm sure you'll get it, love.
03:38I'm sorry.
03:38I will be working.
03:53I'm down if I'm gonna sit here all day.
04:04That's disgusting.
04:07Cold enough, isn't it?
04:09Not much of a summer, was it?
04:11No.
04:12Awful that winter's here again.
04:14Yeah.
04:15What a comfortable room.
04:17So cosy.
04:19Very clean and warm.
04:20Well, the rest of the house is the same.
04:22I don't doubt it.
04:23Yeah, well, I'll show you round, shall I?
04:25There's no need.
04:26Well, you're gonna ask sooner or later.
04:28Might as well do it now.
04:29Very well, if you wish.
04:34Look at them.
04:35Kissing and cuddling, hugging and squeezing.
04:37Everywhere I go, I come across them giggling and groaning.
04:41Look, I've even got two customers waiting.
04:43Who want them?
04:44They always used to be like it.
04:45Now they've had it all the time.
04:47People kissing and cuddling, it's nice.
04:49What do you know about it?
04:50It's what I see on telly.
04:52Seeing people happy and together and not fighting.
04:55Oh, sure.
04:55I don't like people being in different houses shouting with each other.
04:59Yeah.
05:00Hmm.
05:01Yeah, I suppose so.
05:02Lame are you, Ian.
05:03Well, I'm Scotch.
05:04Yeah.
05:05She's stupid.
05:06No, I'm off.
05:06I've got to get Saturday week.
05:09Get in here!
05:12Why aren't you at school?
05:13Dinner time.
05:14Before you say a word, Dad, my first lesson doesn't start until two.
05:17Have you eaten?
05:18No.
05:18Then go on eat.
05:19Well, that's it.
05:22I've seen it all now.
05:23I know.
05:25It's very sad, of course.
05:27She won't be as active as she was.
05:28You know that.
05:29Yeah.
05:30The stairs will be out of the question, I'm afraid.
05:32Oh, well, we're going to put Mum in the front room.
05:34Oh, yes.
05:34I noticed to put you up in there already.
05:36Yes.
05:37That's Michelle, my daughter.
05:38She's in there at the moment.
05:40Oh, yes, Michelle.
05:41Yeah, you see, we're going to make the front room into a proper bedroom for Mum,
05:44and Michelle will have Mum's old room upstairs.
05:46Oh, yes.
05:47That's much more satisfactory for a pregnant girl, isn't it?
05:50Yes, I suppose so.
05:52Of course, you won't have a front room then, will you?
05:54How will that affect everyone?
05:55Oh, it'll make no difference at all.
05:56We always use this room anyway.
05:59It's going to be a time of great change.
06:03Not only for your mother, but for all of you.
06:05Yes, I know.
06:07She can't climb the stairs, so she won't be able to use the lavatory or have a bath.
06:12I can manage.
06:13She'll have to use a commode and be bathed in bed.
06:16I'll manage.
06:21Mum's not going to like it at all.
06:23She's always been independent, always done everything for herself,
06:26never been a burden to anybody, but I suppose now she'll be like a baby.
06:31I can arrange for a specialist home help to come in if you like.
06:34Wouldn't it help if someone came in once a week even,
06:37take the baby off your hands for an hour?
06:38No, I'm not having anybody interfering.
06:41No one will interfere, I promise you.
06:45No, I can manage my own family, thank you.
06:47Mrs Fowler, I'm not trying to force anyone on you, please believe me.
06:50But your mother is going to take a great deal of looking after,
06:53and whatever you think, you can do with all the advice and support that you can get,
06:56and that's all I'm offering.
06:58Nothing more.
06:59Well, I don't know, I just don't like the idea of a stranger.
07:06Strangers can become friends.
07:09Yeah.
07:11Erm, would you like a cup of tea?
07:13Yes, I'd love one.
07:14I'll go and put the kettle on.
07:18It's miserable, isn't it, when you can't sit in your own home.
07:20I just want to run my own business, what's really bad?
07:23A couple of 180's from you tonight, darling, you'll be doing the business all right.
07:27I'll do my best.
07:28Yeah, well, you've got to give yourself a night off now and again,
07:31and you'll have to treat yourself.
07:32Yeah.
07:33Which reminds me.
07:34Excuse me.
07:36Dean.
07:37Here in a minute, darling.
07:39Can I borrow the car tonight?
07:41I've told you before.
07:43No.
07:43I don't want a load of old women in my car singing dirty songs.
07:46But it's our car.
07:47My car.
07:48Oh, I see.
07:48It's your car.
07:49Okay, I'll get my own car.
07:50We can't afford it.
07:52It's my car, he says.
07:53Yet if I want a car, we can't afford it.
07:55It's like getting blood out of a stone.
07:56We'll get a taxi.
07:57No, we won't.
07:58We're going to go to this darts matching style.
08:00One way or another.
08:11Dr. Legg.
08:12Yes.
08:13Oh, Ruth.
08:13Hello.
08:14Just on my way to see you.
08:15Were you?
08:16Why?
08:16Mrs. Fowler.
08:17Appalling.
08:18Yes.
08:18Good.
08:19Well, that's good.
08:20Oh, yes.
08:20How did it go?
08:22This is obviously not a good time.
08:23Isn't it?
08:24You're on your way somewhere.
08:25No, I was just on my way to the pub to have a drink and a sandwich.
08:29Would you like to join us?
08:30Love to.
08:30Right.
08:34Thanks.
08:37Quite a bit of these.
08:40Nothing to eat.
08:41We'll have a cheese roll.
08:42Right.
08:43Back in a minute.
08:46Oh, saucy old Doc.
08:47I ain't here with her again.
08:48Yeah.
08:49Barely seeing you on his own, let alone with a boat.
08:52Are we watching a secret romance?
08:54Well, you'd be the expert on that one, wouldn't you, Den?
08:56Come on, give us the car keys.
08:58No way.
08:59Cute.
08:59She was very defensive at first.
09:01Quite suspicious.
09:03Perhaps even frightened.
09:04She has a healthy fear of bureaucracy.
09:06A faceless monster.
09:07I wish people would understand that this monster isn't really faceless.
09:11But it's actually made up of thousands of human faces.
09:14Yeah.
09:15But perhaps some of those faces are more concerned with the system than they are with the people.
09:19You're right.
09:21You're quite right.
09:23I wish it wasn't so.
09:24I know you do.
09:26Thanks.
09:27Besides, Pauline puts herself under great pressure.
09:30She feels she has to bear the brunt of whatever's going.
09:33Otherwise the family might fall apart.
09:34Would it?
09:35No.
09:35It's a very solid family.
09:37Well, really.
09:37That's what I thought.
09:39Anyway, eventually she relaxed and made me a cup of tea.
09:42And finally accepted we may well indeed be useful to her.
09:46So there we are.
09:47All in all, it worked out quite well, really.
09:49That's very good.
09:50Here you go, Doc.
09:51Ah.
09:51Thank you, son.
09:52Listen, I'll bring your rolls over in a minute.
09:53All right.
09:54Oh, there's a flower.
09:55Oh, terrific.
09:59Cheers.
09:59Cheers.
10:03It's a long time since I sat in the pub and entertained a pretty young woman.
10:06Thanks.
10:07I quite enjoy it.
10:08Good.
10:09Like a game of darts.
10:11Oh, that wasn't quite what I had in mind.
10:13Go on.
10:14No, I'm too old.
10:15Why do you say that?
10:17Well, old things happen to me.
10:19I do elderly things.
10:20Such as?
10:21I'm absent-minded and I forget I'm absent-minded.
10:24It's a good thing that breathing's automatic, otherwise I forget to do that.
10:28You're not old.
10:29I'm not?
10:30No.
10:31Are you sure?
10:32Absolutely.
10:33Right.
10:33I challenge you to a game of darts.
10:35But I warn you, I'm quite good.
10:37So am I.
10:38We'll see.
10:40Here's the chase, Doc.
10:41Ah, right.
10:42Thanks, Anne.
10:44Middle for diddle.
10:45I beg your pardon.
10:47First to the ball for off.
10:48Oh, yeah.
10:49Middle for diddle.
10:51Okay, see you later.
10:53Yeah, bye, son.
10:54Come on, Dan.
10:56Stop mucking about and give us the car keys.
10:58No.
10:59Look, you're not using the car tonight, are you?
11:02Or are you?
11:03No, I'm not.
11:04Someone's got to stay and run this pub.
11:05Oh, so that's what all this is about.
11:07I go out for one night with the girls to a darts match and you throw a wobbler.
11:10I don't want the rover written off.
11:11Then I'm staying stone cold sober.
11:14I'm playing darts for God's sake.
11:15I want a wee not get sloshed.
11:17You are not having a case.
11:21Hi, Ethel.
11:21Oh.
11:23Oh, I'll take that.
11:24Oh, I'm sorry.
11:25I just come by to see how Dot is.
11:27Oh, she's having her nerves treated.
11:29I wonder she doesn't get them changed altogether.
11:32Anyway, with a sun like Nick, I wonder she's got any nerves left.
11:38Tony, what is a travelling reserve?
11:41Huh?
11:42Well, it's all this darts thing.
11:44I don't understand it.
11:46Oh, the darts.
11:47Yes.
11:47Well, if someone doesn't turn up, you play instead.
11:51Yes, but what happens if someone gets injured?
11:54Oh, the same thing.
11:55The captain takes her off and you come on instead.
11:58Could that happen?
11:59Well, no, I don't think there's much chance.
12:02They're a healthy lot.
12:03I don't fancy standing up and making a fool of myself in front of all them people.
12:07It's Angie, you see, who's so keen on it.
12:12Good grief, I don't stand a chance, do I?
12:15Whitewash, I think they call it, don't they?
12:17They're twice and you've hardly broken sweat.
12:19You're out of practice, that's all.
12:20I'm surprised I'm not feeling embarrassed.
12:23Another game?
12:24Good God, yes, I can hardly get any worse.
12:26Or can I?
12:27I don't think you can.
12:28My subtraction's improved anyway.
12:30Well, that's something.
12:32Do you know, I haven't enjoyed myself so much in years.
12:34Thank you very much.
12:37Here, Carol.
12:38She'd be nice to have a round, wouldn't she?
12:40Stiffing up the darts too, no end.
12:41Here, Dennis.
12:43Car keys.
12:44I'm beginning to feel like St Peter.
12:46I've got to say no three times before the cock clots.
12:48You can't say no in front of witnesses.
12:50Can't I?
12:51Everybody takes themselves off to a darts match tonight, right?
12:54Right.
12:54Lofty's night off, you're not in, Cathy's not in.
12:57Just leaves me and Wixie to run the place on our own.
12:58So, I've done it for you, fair's fair.
13:00I'll tell you what.
13:01If Wixie and I can run this place on our tods, then we're definitely overstarved.
13:05We're talking redundancies.
13:06Cutting off some of the fat, trimming back to the bone.
13:08That'll improve the humour of the place.
13:09Uh-oh.
13:11Pay no attention to him, Caff.
13:12Come on, Denny's coffer.
13:16That's my boy.
13:20Don't you worry, Caff, I'm not done yet.
13:22We shall go to the darts match with transport or my name isn't Angela Watts.
13:27Come on back, sis.
13:28Come on.
13:30Come on.
13:30Come on.
13:30Oh, great.
13:31Yeah, Cathy's got the cod, I've got the rock.
13:33Lovely.
13:34Anyone want a cup of tea?
13:35No, I've got some beer, sis.
13:36I'm going to have tea with Mum.
13:38Oh, he's first, Paulie.
13:39How does he have a couple of?
13:40Now, how much do I owe you?
13:41On me.
13:42No, not on me.
13:43I said fish and chips, but on me.
13:44Don't argue.
13:45Don't you argue?
13:46Now, how much was the sting?
13:47Nine quid.
13:48Oh, blimey.
13:49I wish I'd kept me mad, shall we?
13:50Yeah.
13:51Well, that seems to be bolsy, won't you?
13:53Right, come, tell us then.
13:54Well, there's nothing much to tell, really.
13:56Mind you, it was funny at the beginning.
13:57I've never seen anything like it.
13:59She spent all day yesterday cleaning up the house,
14:01still wasn't satisfied, then spent four hours this morning.
14:04Yeah, well, I wasn't taking any chances.
14:07Oh, Arthur, look.
14:08The sink must be bunged up.
14:09The water's not draining away.
14:13You've been bunging tea leaves down the sink.
14:15I haven't.
14:16Yeah, I've told you.
14:18And I've told you, Michelle.
14:20Don't bung tea leaves down the sink.
14:22Oh, don't.
14:22I bet it's tea leaves.
14:24You're always blaming me.
14:25Arthur, nobody bunged tea leaves down the sink in this house.
14:28Nobody bunged tea leaves down the sink in this house.
14:30I went your fish and chips first, Arthur.
14:32I'll eat as I go along.
14:34Well, anyway, clean house or not, I was looking at it through Miss Lyon's eyes
14:38and I could see her eyes flicking around, looking at every corner,
14:41hoping to find a sign that we couldn't look after ourselves.
14:44Oh!
14:45That's off my finger.
14:46Yeah, I'll have a go.
14:48Well, I wasn't taking any chances on us getting it wrong, so I was extra careful.
14:53Yeah.
14:53Oh, yes.
14:54I love interfering.
14:55She won't, Arthur.
14:56She said she would, hers.
14:58She said, yes.
14:59She said.
14:59And you believed her.
15:00I've read things about them.
15:01I've heard things about them.
15:03Oh, damn this bluing thing.
15:04She's on our side, Arthur.
15:06On our side.
15:06I'll believe that when time's past.
15:09Moo.
15:09Damn you, moo.
15:10I mean, you tell me.
15:11Why is she poking around for anyway?
15:12Oh, Arthur, you're being stupid.
15:14No, no, no, no.
15:15You just isn't.
15:16We're a normal, decent family, aren't we?
15:17So what's so special about our problems?
15:20I'll tell you something.
15:21In a sane society, nobody would notice us.
15:24They see nothing unusual at all.
15:26Nothing.
15:26Just a normal wear and tear of life.
15:29This must be bleak and glued in.
15:31Oh, Peter, leave it.
15:33Hey, we can all look after it, Brent.
15:35Look after each other.
15:36Oh, Peter, get up.
15:38One more try, sis.
15:39Oh, well.
15:40That's what we're here for, innit?
15:41What's that, Ian?
15:42Oh, it doesn't matter.
15:43Nobody listens to me anyway.
15:45I mean, we have unemployment.
15:46There's a national health that's allowed to fall apart,
15:49so nobody can really cope.
15:50And then panic sets in all round.
15:52Oh, here, here, Arthur.
15:53Well, it's true.
15:54Well, even if it is, I feel a lot happier now I've spoken to Miss Lyons.
15:58Yeah.
15:59Well, Mum's got no future, has she?
16:00I mean, your Ryzen's closing in on her like it is for the rest of us.
16:04And I don't understand this thing.
16:05Oh, I can't sit there.
16:06Well, come on, get up and let me have a go.
16:09Oh!
16:09I've done my hand now.
16:11Oh, nice.
16:12It's like a blooming relay race.
16:14This is past a spanner.
16:15Look, sis.
16:15Yeah.
16:16Well, mind it doesn't bleed on the carpet.
16:18Here, can I cut my finger?
16:19Oh, come here.
16:20I'll kiss it better.
16:21Poor thing.
16:23Oh, isn't it awful about Mum?
16:25I mean, bed bars and commodes.
16:27What a life for her.
16:29I mean, she's going to hate it.
16:30She'll be like a baby.
16:32It'll be like having two babies in this house, helpless.
16:35We'll look after Mum.
16:36Yeah, we all will, sis.
16:37We all help.
16:39Yeah, right.
16:39But I make things worse, don't I?
16:41What?
16:42I can hear it.
16:43I mean, we've got Graham, we've got the baby, we've got me, but no one says it.
16:46We're just talking, Michelle.
16:49Look, I know it'd be a lot easier if I weren't pregnant, but what can I do now?
16:52Well, you can tell us who the father is.
16:54After.
16:54Well, let him share some of the loan.
16:57Oh, look, it's going to be all right.
16:59No, it's not, Mum.
17:01Look, I know I'm part of the problem, but what I can do, and will do, is make sure there's
17:05no extra hassle because of me.
17:07Oh, we know you will.
17:09Damn this thing!
17:10Oh, Arthur, get out of it.
17:12Get up your lunch.
17:14That's a bummer.
17:15It's just at the moment we can only think about Mum.
17:19I know.
17:19Yeah?
17:20I mean, she's going to be frightened.
17:22We've all got to pull together.
17:24We've all got to muck in.
17:26I said I would.
17:27Because if we don't, she's going to be scared.
17:29She's going to have to go back into hospital or a home if we can't manage.
17:33And my mum is going to spend her last years here with her family.
17:38Yeah, we're the best family in the world, sis.
17:40If we can't cope, who can't?
17:41Right.
17:43Listen, this family is gifted with blessings, so let's count them, mate.
17:45For God's sake.
17:46Right.
17:47Here, sis, it's nearly Christmas.
17:49What about giving Mum the best Christmas she's ever had?
17:52Right.
17:52Christmas, yeah.
17:53We'll make it a real family affair.
17:55Everybody round here with Mum in the centre, right?
17:58Yeah, and we'll bring the tree.
18:00Yeah, we'll do the food, then.
18:01Oh, no, we do that between us.
18:02It's too much for one.
18:03Oh, all right, then.
18:03And I'll do the decorations.
18:04Here, I'll help you.
18:05Hey, I can make the Christmas pudding.
18:07Here you are.
18:08Tea leaves.
18:08I knew it.
18:09I told you, it's tea leaves.
18:10Look at them.
18:11I'm off to the bit.
18:12I'm off to the match.
18:13Here.
18:14Mind you don't aim for anybody's head.
18:16Well, you come along and I'll try for yours.
18:17No, thanks, love.
18:18Pick you up later in a bit.
18:19Bye-bye.
18:19Bye-bye, y'all.
18:20Okay.
18:21Ow!
18:22Oh, I've done it again!
18:24Yes!
18:26It's you.
18:27It's you been chucking tea leaves down the sink.
18:30It isn't.
18:31I always use the tidy.
18:33Oh, yeah?
18:33That's why I'm standing here looking like a currant bug.
18:36Tea for two.
18:38Oh, thank you.
18:40Never mind, love.
18:41It's ever so good for the complexion.
18:45Night-night, darling.
18:46Don't forget to say goodnight to your day.
18:47Okay, all right?
18:48Up you go.
18:48Hello, girls.
18:49All right, then?
18:50Oh, sorry.
18:50Have a good drink.
18:51Yeah.
18:52Yeah, it's no use they're missing like vultures at a wake.
18:57They're hanging around over the keys.
18:58They'll have to take the minicab.
19:00Oh, Dan's pig-headed.
19:01Yeah, well, so's Angie.
19:03Hey, Dan.
19:05Talk to Ethel today.
19:07Tells me Dot still isn't too well.
19:08Oh, yeah?
19:09No, I feel kind of sorry for Dot.
19:11She doesn't deserve a son like Nick.
19:13It's nothing to do with deserving or not deserving.
19:15Kids grow up in their own way.
19:16It's all decided the minute you're born.
19:18Maybe.
19:19I still can't shake Nick Cotton out of my head.
19:22Why not?
19:23Well, I don't like the way we handle it.
19:26Oh, come off that tone.
19:28What did you want us to do?
19:29Let him wander around terrorising the square?
19:31Two wrongs don't make a right, then.
19:33We don't have to act like hoodlums to protect ourselves from hoodlums.
19:36You've gone soft.
19:37No.
19:38It says that now I feel no better than he is.
19:41You know, used to, but now I don't.
19:43And I don't like that.
19:45You'll be late.
19:47No, we won't.
19:48It's twenty past seven.
19:50We've ordered a cab.
19:50Good.
19:51So that's one last chance you've got, aye, Dan?
19:54To do what?
19:54To give me the keys.
19:58I do not want a load of cackling women filling my car up with airpins.
20:01You know what you are, don't you?
20:02Prudent.
20:02A sexist pig.
20:03No, I'm not.
20:04Yes, you are, by any definition of the word.
20:06All right.
20:06If I'm a sexist pig, you're definitely not getting the car keys.
20:09I'm going to keep them.
20:09And you can shuffle off the buffalo in a pony and trap for all I care.
20:12Oh, Dan, you are pathetic sometimes.
20:14Pathetic.
20:17Come on, Tone.
20:18Challenge you at the game of darts.
20:19We've shut these old birds out of play, right?
20:21Sorry, Dan, I'm not in the mood.
20:22I'm on, Tone.
20:24It's too much like hard work.
20:26I insist, Tone.
20:27Don't let me down.
20:28Oh, you're very persuasive.
20:30Okay.
20:31And the other side.
20:38Five at one, Tone.
20:40Okay.
20:49Here, Dan.
20:51How about this, then?
20:52Yay!
20:54Yay!
20:55I like this!
20:57It's all right, I suppose.
20:59Girls, such enthusiasm.
21:01Anyway, we're off, girls.
21:02Do your coats up.
21:03Cabs here.
21:03Back by 10.30.
21:04That's if the bloke goes his way, eh?
21:06See you later.
21:07Enjoy yourselves.
21:09Break a leg.
21:10A bit of luck.
21:11All right.
21:12I'll go first.
21:12I'll go in.
21:13I don't know where we go.
21:15Oh!
21:15Are we going for a ride?
21:18Ladies and darts team, they're all men.
21:20Angie, most of all.
21:22Women shouldn't play darts.
21:24No comment.
21:25Darts and snookers should be played by men.
21:27Fat bellies for darts, long legs and flat chests for snooker.
21:30Okay.
21:32Have I missed them, then?
21:33Call them the second.
21:34Ah!
21:35Once they wish them luck.
21:36Yeah, they'll need it.
21:37I didn't expect to see you here, mate.
21:38Why not?
21:39I've just seen the rear end of your car going round the corner.
21:41I thought you were off.
21:43My car?
21:44Mm.
21:49Right.
21:50She's only got an old.
21:51Did you see who was driving it?
21:52Found the clue.
21:52Angie?
21:53No, she hasn't got the keys.
21:55It's a pup thief.
21:55Getting ambushed, taking the Michael.
21:57Right.
21:57It's the law this time.
21:58Dad, my man's got the keys.
21:59What?
22:00She took them out your pocket when he was playing darts.
22:02Ah!
22:03She has an old.
22:04What's going on?
22:05It's a long story.
22:06Found that time, mate.
22:07I've got to go to work.
22:08See ya.
22:09Cheeky cow.
22:10Not you two staring at it.
22:11Dad, can we have a cup of shambles?
22:12Yeah, all right.
22:12Would you drink them outside or upstairs?
22:14Now, go on out.
22:14I'll bring them out to you.
22:19So, what was that all about, then?
22:21I feel tired just thinking about it.
22:23Well, go on.
22:24Mum stole the car.
22:25How can she steal a car?
22:27Dad won't let her use it, so she nicked the keys from the car, from his pocket.
22:31Maybe Dem wanted to borrow it.
22:32Maybe Dem wanted to borrow it.
22:33He's in tonight.
22:34Even if he were, he could let her use it now and again.
22:36He's being right mean about it.
22:38Who is?
22:38Who is what?
22:39Being mean.
22:40Scrooge.
22:40Oh, the school ain't doing that again for Christmas, are they?
22:43Boring hell.
22:44Cheers.
22:45Cheers.
22:45Cheers.
22:47Parents.
22:48That's why I come over.
22:50Oh, it's driving me mad there.
22:51I had to find some sanity.
22:52Well, why come here?
22:53There's Bedlam over there.
22:55I mean, they all mean very well, but they've pushed their luck sometimes.
22:57I just feel a burden on everyone.
22:59Well, you're not.
23:00I am.
23:01I mean, they're very nice about it, but they never talk about it.
23:04They shall.
23:05It would be a lot worse if they talked about it morning, noon and night.
23:07I suppose you're right.
23:09Would you have got pregnant if you thought it was going to be like this?
23:12Most people wouldn't do most things if they thought about it.
23:15Always turns out bad, doesn't it?
23:16Hmm.
23:19I mean, it's like Christmas.
23:20You really look forward to it, but you never get the present you want.
23:23What do you want?
23:24I've already got it, haven't I?
23:26I don't mean the baby.
23:27I don't know.
23:28I'll get what I'm giving, I suppose.
23:29I don't know what I want yet, either.
23:31I'm still thinking.
23:33Maybe it'll be better when I go into Gran's room.
23:35Yeah, and that makes me feel bad, because I've finally got a room of my own,
23:38only because Gran's too sick to go upstairs.
23:41It's lousy, isn't it?
23:42Well, I certainly don't want to get old.
23:45You know, it's Mum I feel sorry for.
23:46I mean, we've all got our worries, but she worries for all of us.
23:49She's got the burden of it.
23:50No one worries about me.
23:52I do.
23:53Yeah, and Angie worries about you.
23:55Yeah, I suppose.
23:56Mum's worried.
23:58You should know.
23:59Yeah.
24:00Do Dad's worry and all, then?
24:02Reckon they do.
24:04Oh, you look wet.
24:05Do you want a cup of tea?
24:06No, thanks, sir.
24:07No, I don't want one either.
24:08I just thought you might like one.
24:09It's nice having the place to ourselves, isn't it?
24:11Oh, yeah.
24:12You know what?
24:13I am tired.
24:14I'm not surprised, love.
24:15You've been running about this place like a demented chicken for the past two days,
24:19trying to get the place cleaned up for the social worker.
24:22Oh, don't go on, Arthur.
24:23You know why.
24:24Yeah, I know why, love.
24:25It's just like the women that do the housework before the cleaning woman comes.
24:28Hmm.
24:29I can tell you one thing.
24:30If ever I was lucky enough to have a cleaning woman, I certainly wouldn't do the housework
24:34before she'd come in.
24:35I don't know about that.
24:37Anyway, fat chance I'd ever have of having a cleaning woman.
24:40What wouldn't this special home help do to cleaning?
24:43I don't think so.
24:43From what Miss Lyons said, I think she's more to help with Mum.
24:47You know, sort of an expert in that sort of thing.
24:49I should have thought we were the experts of dealing with your Mum.
24:51Don't be silly.
24:52You know what I mean.
24:53Yeah, but I just don't like people interfering in our business, you know.
24:56Arthur, they're not going to interfere.
24:59Hmm.
25:00Well, we'll see.
25:01Yeah.
25:02You know what?
25:03I don't think I can stay awake much longer.
25:05Tell you what, love.
25:06You go to bed and this special home help will bring you up a cup of tea that you don't
25:10really want.
25:10Do you know, that's the best offer I've had all day.
25:13Oh, I don't know.
25:14The day ain't finished yet.
25:19They won?
25:21Good.
25:23Nah, nah, they're not back yet.
25:24Well, in a minute, I expect.
25:28Oh, she was, was she?
25:32My car.
25:34Yes.
25:40A taxi?
25:41Who did?
25:43Kath?
25:45Yeah.
25:45So what about Ange?
25:46Didn't she go with her?
25:49I see.
25:50No, no, no, no.
25:51He did say, er, that he might pick them up.
25:53Yeah.
25:53Um.
25:55Oh, just Ange.
25:58Yeah.
25:58Well, cheers, mate.
25:59Er, next LVA meeting, I suppose.
26:01Look after yourself.
26:02Bye.
26:14Right, so what do we say to Dan?
26:16We say that Ange's gone off with the garland pieman.
26:20We say nothing of the kind.
26:21Oh.
26:22Well, well.
26:22That's right.
26:23That's tricky life.
26:24Come on, Sue.
26:25We've got to stick together.
26:26Why do we?
26:28Said Simple Simon to the pieman.
26:30Look, Ethel, please.
26:32We just say, if then I say.
26:34And he will, and he will.
26:35We just say that Ange's too fine to come home because she took the car, right?
26:40Where she is, we don't know.
26:42But she's safe and the car's safe, alright?
26:44Yeah.
26:45And he'll believe that.
26:45Said Simple Simon to the pieman, please may I taste your will.
26:49Ethel, one more word about the pieman and that'll be your last.
26:51Here, here, here.
26:52My lips are congearious.
26:54Oh, I don't know how I've got a face, Dean.
26:56If Pete weren't in there, I'd go home.
26:57Oh, that's where I want to go.
26:58Hey, look, no, we promise to stick together.
27:00It's our only chance, right?
27:02Yeah.
27:02Yes, we won, eh?
27:03Yeah.
27:03Listen, big smile, brave face, alright?
27:07One, two, three.
27:09We are the champions!
27:13We are the champions!
27:16We are the champions!
27:18You won, then?
27:18We killed them.
27:19Good.
27:20Not here yet, Dean.
27:22I can see that.
27:22Why not?
27:23She was a bit nervous, you know, running off in the car.
27:26That's why she ain't come home yet.
27:27Be back later.
27:28Where's she gone, then?
27:29Well, she drove off with a one-legged sailor.
27:32He's peddling and she's steering.
27:34Ethel!
27:34Simple Simon met a pipe!
27:37There was I, waiting at the church, waiting at the church, waiting at the church.
27:43Where am I found?
27:45He left me in the lurch.
27:47I am being upset.
27:49You're jealous.
27:50What are you on about?
27:51It's all right.
27:51I'm glad you're jealous.
27:52I am not jealous.
27:53Yes, you are.
27:54I'm worried about the car.
27:55No, you're not, Dad.
27:56Mum's going off with a bloke and you're jealous.
27:58It's half past ten.
27:59They stole tomorrow in our bed.
28:01Bed!
28:02My wife won't get me!
28:04Yay!zonyday
28:06Hey!
28:07nighttime
