00:01Right then. I'm off to the cash and carry. I'll get one carton of gin, one carton of vodka and
00:05one carton of scotch.
00:06That should see us all right for a while, shouldn't it?
00:07OK, I'll start downstairs in a minute. Don't be long, eh, Den?
00:10Oh, you're going to miss me, eh?
00:11No, it's just that there's two of us running this pub and you're one of them, so get back sharpish,
00:14eh?
00:14Oh, you're not going to start a rail already, are you?
00:16Den, I'm not starting nothing. I just want you back from the cash and carry straight away, all right?
00:20Well, where else would I go?
00:21I don't know. It's not as if you'd tell me, is it?
00:23Look, it's over. I've told you.
00:24So you say.
00:26Jan's a thing of the past, right? Things will be different from now on.
00:28I've heard it all before, haven't I, Den?
00:29I mean it.
00:30Well, we'll just see how it goes, eh?
00:32Look, there's you, me and Sharon, right?
00:34Whether we like it or not, we're stuck with it. We're a family.
00:36So we've got to make the best of it.
00:37And that means not having a row at every given moment.
00:39And that means you've got to trust me.
00:42I promise you, you can trust me all the way, right?
00:44What's done is done. Past.
00:46Now and the future, well, that's a different thing, OK?
00:49OK.
00:51You let me down, though, Den.
00:53I won't.
00:54Look, we're back together, right? And that's all that counts.
00:58Yeah.
01:02Ali?
01:03Yeah?
01:04Do you think we might just be trying too hard?
01:06How do you mean?
01:07Well, I read somewhere that it takes a man time to recover.
01:10Yeah?
01:11Well, maybe we shouldn't try so hard.
01:14That doesn't make sense, though.
01:15Why not?
01:15Well, it stands to reason, doesn't it?
01:17I mean, the harder you try, the more chance you've got.
01:19I suppose so.
01:20I wish I could remember where I read it.
01:22Look, we've just got to keep on trying, that's all.
01:24It must have been in one of those magazines over at the doctor's.
01:27Oh, a woman's magazine.
01:28Well, I mean, they write everything for women, don't they?
01:31They don't understand a man's point of view.
01:33No, I don't suppose they do.
01:34Well, they don't.
01:35It'll be all right.
01:36How come I'm not pregnant, then?
01:38Well, I don't know.
01:39Look, let nature take its course.
01:42Yes.
01:44Open up.
01:46Right, I'm going.
01:47OK, I'll come with you.
01:48Now, you sure you'll be OK, Shell?
01:50Yes.
01:51You don't look too well.
01:53What's time's your appointment at the clinic?
01:55Half eleven.
01:56Yeah, you come and I'm going to be late.
01:58Yeah, in a minute.
01:59I think you look a bit peaky to me.
02:01I feel fine, Mum.
02:03Look, I can't wait.
02:04I've got to go.
02:04Tell her she'll...
02:06Hey, you don't look too well.
02:08Don't you start.
02:10Oh, look, you just go.
02:11I'll just clear the table.
02:12I thought you were coming with me.
02:14Mum, leave it.
02:14I'll do that.
02:15In a minute.
02:15I'll just be around the corner.
02:17All right, I'll go.
02:18What time's your appointment?
02:19Half eleven.
02:21I don't see that matters.
02:22I just wondered, that's all.
02:23I'm going.
02:23Sure.
02:26What is it, love?
02:28Touch your morning sickness
02:29or just a bit of the blues?
02:31I thought I didn't get the blues till afterwards.
02:34They can sometimes come before.
02:36They can even come
02:37when you've got nothing to do with babies at all.
02:39Can they?
02:40I reckon I've got them now, then.
02:42I thought so.
02:44Why don't you ask them for a tonic
02:45when you're down the clinic?
02:46I don't need a tonic.
02:47I don't feel too well,
02:49like I've got a cold coming
02:50or something like that.
02:53You're not worried about going there, are you?
02:56Worried?
02:57Yeah.
02:58Why don't you go for a chat?
02:59There's nothing to be worried about.
03:01Yeah, but when they say it's for a chat,
03:02it means that they're trying to take over.
03:04They're going to start pushing you about.
03:05No, they won't.
03:06But they will, Shell.
03:09But they're not going to do it.
03:30Well, what, I'm a fiddle again, eh, then?
03:31Just back me a little bit of a day
03:33and I'll get this lot in.
03:40I'm looking a bit tired, darling.
03:42Why don't you go upstairs and have a lie down for a bit, eh?
03:43No, I'm all right.
03:44I'm just a bit fed up, you know,
03:45being in empty pub all on my own.
03:47Oh, you'd better put that away
03:48before someone from the brewery walks in.
03:49Yeah, good idea.
03:51Oh, I had a letter from them this morning,
03:52that new lager to bring the launch forward.
03:53We should get it this week.
03:54Oh, yeah?
03:55Yeah, they reckon it's the big one.
03:57Improved takings, teleadverts, the old works.
03:59Oh, great.
04:01Hello, Lofty, darling.
04:02Nice to see you.
04:03How are you doing?
04:04Not bad, you know.
04:04It's nice to see you, too.
04:06Well, get your coat off and get a move on.
04:07Come on.
04:08You didn't come in empty-handed, did you?
04:10How do you mean?
04:10Well, go and get some more of the same
04:11for the boot of my car.
04:12Oh, no, that's all right.
04:13Lofty, I'll get it.
04:13You start bottling up.
04:15Keen, I like it.
04:15Well, off you go then, Lofty.
04:17Where'd you want it?
04:18Best stick it upstairs.
04:19We've got a stop take next week.
04:20We won't use it till after then, eh?
04:22Upstairs, Lofty.
04:25Good thinking.
04:28Hiya, Neymar!
04:34Go on, now.
04:34Why don't you go have a lie down, eh?
04:36Because I've got the books to do, that's why.
04:37If we get through this stop take next week,
04:39it'll be a miracle.
04:40Go on, take that while you're at it.
04:42What's that wrong with them, is it?
04:44I don't know.
04:44Probably not.
04:45Mind you, it looks like we've got one customer
04:46drinking scotch.
04:48What's the matter, Den?
04:49Nothing, I was just looking at how little you looked.
04:52No, I'm not.
04:56Yeah, same size as you.
04:59Yeah, nearly.
05:04Four pound, five pound.
05:05Cheers.
05:08All right, you got anything there, Kath?
05:10Yeah, I think so.
05:11Yeah, did you have words with him?
05:12No, not really.
05:14I asked him what time it came in last night.
05:16He just grabbed a bit of toast and said he was like the skull.
05:18Oh, he went flying through the door like that man.
05:19Yeah, well, I'll clip his bloody wings when I get hold of him.
05:22Oh, don't have a go at him, Pete.
05:23He's got to learn, Kath.
05:26Look, it's not a hotel or telephone answering service.
05:29It's our home as well as his.
05:31It was only late in.
05:32It's not only that, is it?
05:33And all them telephone calls last night.
05:35Quite a week.
05:36He's answering service for that kiss, I mean.
05:38You always just annoyed because it stopped you from having your wicked way with me.
05:41Yeah, it's wise.
05:43Well, third time lucky.
05:45Yeah, that's very, very lucky.
05:47Yes, that is your till, Lofty, and all the money you take, you put in that one, okay?
05:51And Wixie, you do the same in this till.
05:53Yeah, but don't you trust us or something?
05:54Well, of course I do.
05:55I'm just having a till competition between Lightning Lofty and Flash Wixie.
05:58What sort of competition?
05:59A crisp tenner to the person who's tilled, takes their most money in a week's evening.
06:03Is it right to sort of bonus for the hardest worker?
06:05What about you?
06:06I mean, which one are you going to have?
06:07Well, I'll try and even out between the pair of you.
06:10When I serve, which I don't want to do too much of because Angie and I want to play mine
06:13host
06:13by the pair of you.
06:14Will you slog our guts out for the bonus?
06:16Nail on the end.
06:17Yeah, well, I don't mind.
06:18I'll beat you easy.
06:19I mean, you're always too busy talking, aren't you?
06:20Yeah, I'm talking as I serve, Lofty, you see.
06:22I don't just stand around like one of Arrow's dummies, do I?
06:24God, the warmth and gender by sport and open competition is marvellous.
06:27Now, I'll beat you, you wait and see.
06:29I can't hang around to see that, Lofty, you see.
06:31I should be out here, serving the masses and dinging that till.
06:34That's the spirit.
06:34Now, let's not fall out, shall we?
06:36Just let our fingers do the talking, eh?
06:37I'll tell you what, let's have a trial run this lunchtime, eh?
06:39Yeah, any time, eh?
06:40I'm ready, Eddie.
06:41Right.
06:43Come on, Cheryl.
06:44You're supposed to be down at clinic.
06:45Well, not till I've passed.
06:47What are you doing here?
06:48Well, I've come to tell you.
06:50You don't want to go on your own, do you?
06:51Well, as it happens, yes, I do.
06:53Oh, I've taken Tom off work.
06:56Well, you'll be all right on your own.
06:57Dad, it's only the clinic.
06:59I mean, I'm not going to have it today, am I?
07:00I'm just going to have a chat and go have a look at me, that's all.
07:02Yeah, what sort of chat?
07:04Yeah, you're going to have it, aren't you?
07:06You're going to keep it.
07:06Don't let them talk you out of that.
07:08I think you'd better go with the rar.
07:09I thought we agreed this already.
07:10We have agreed.
07:12All I'm going to do is have a talk about the delivery.
07:14It's got nothing to do with after the baby's born.
07:15Look, what's to talk about the delivery?
07:17You're having a baby and that's it.
07:19Typical man.
07:20He'll be saying next it's a scent of the shelling peas.
07:23Oh, no, I won't.
07:24No, I won't.
07:25But I do know something about it.
07:26I've had three of me own, remember?
07:29Giving birth is the most natural thing in the world.
07:33Yeah, not when you've got a load of wires sticking in you, it isn't.
07:36Exactly, that's what we're going to talk about.
07:37What kind of birth and where, that sort of thing.
07:39Right, that's why I'm coming with you.
07:40They'll bully you into anything down there.
07:43Mum, I'm going on my own.
07:45What?
07:46I've got Dotting to cover for me.
07:48Yeah, I've taken a couple of hours off work and all.
07:49Well, what for?
07:50She doesn't need both of us to take her down there.
07:52I don't need either of you.
07:54I'm going on my own and that's it.
07:56Well.
07:57Well, who'd have thought it?
08:01Me own daughter don't want me with her.
08:02Oh, don't talk soft to Harper.
08:05She's a big girl now.
08:06She's quite capable of handling that lot down there.
08:10Mum, just because she's big enough to get herself pregnant
08:12doesn't mean she's big enough to cope with everything else on her own.
08:15Yeah.
08:15She can look after herself.
08:16She's got more sense than either of you.
08:18Oh, yeah.
08:19It really was sensible of her to get herself pregnant
08:21while she's still at school, wasn't it?
08:22No.
08:23But no more stupid than you getting pregnant at your age
08:26when neither of you had a decent job between you.
08:32Oi.
08:33I said you.
08:34Oi.
08:35Over here.
08:36Now.
08:38Come on, darling.
08:38Where are we?
08:39Oh, going somewhere important, are we?
08:41Oh.
08:42Don't tell me you're taking Princess Diah out of dinner
08:44when you can't keep her waiting.
08:45Is that right?
08:46If you must know, I'm off to meet my business partner.
08:48Oh, Kelvin.
08:49I don't understand you.
08:50I mean, I've powered exactly as Colby gets waiting, can they?
08:53Don't worry, Dad.
08:54What do you want to see me for?
08:55Look, I want to talk to you.
08:56We're supposed to be living in the same house, right?
08:58But we never seem to be there at the same time, like last night.
09:01Yeah, well, um, sorry about it.
09:03Of course, you're out of Kelvin's.
09:05Look, you can ask Tony if you don't believe me.
09:07Oh, I'm not on a play out of that.
09:08Although, once you're indoors by 11 in the future, 10 on school day.
09:1110?
09:11When is school next day?
09:12Yes, 10.
09:13But 10, that's ridiculous.
09:14No, it isn't.
09:15You can't do your work properly next day if you're up all night playing record.
09:18Yeah, but I'm doing all right.
09:19You could do better in the morning.
09:21Cunt of think, we want you there now.
09:23Well, it's Monday.
09:24I know it's Monday, so why don't you at school?
09:26Well, on Monday, the teachers will count.
09:28You know, that dispute it is.
09:29I don't know what's going on.
09:30Oh, great that is, isn't it?
09:32Bloody marvellous.
09:34Oh, come on in.
09:35What do you want to see me about?
09:36Look, I mean, I'm hungry.
09:37Look, did you put our phone number down for that kiss of Grandma, right?
09:40Yeah.
09:41What?
09:42Hey, there's only phone calls.
09:43Yes, we had three last night.
09:44Three?
09:45Ah, it's fantastic.
09:47Oh, no, it isn't.
09:48It's a ruddy liberty.
09:49That's what it is.
09:49You never asked me if you could use it.
09:51Yeah, well, come on.
09:51What do they want?
09:53Take any messages, any details?
09:54Come on.
09:55It doesn't matter what they said.
09:57Well, can't they think?
09:58Yes, it does.
09:59One of them was a ruddy pervert.
10:00Your mother could have answered that.
10:01A pervert?
10:02Yeah, what did he want?
10:03He asked if we did.
10:04It don't matter what you want.
10:05Oh, come on, Dad.
10:06You can tell me.
10:07I said no.
10:08Now, on that advert, cancel.
10:09And don't use our phone number anymore for your pie-in-the-sky schemes.
10:12Understand?
10:13Does that mean you didn't take any messages?
10:15It didn't matter.
10:16No.
10:17Look, we only needed to take one message.
10:19It would have paid us back for the advert.
10:20Tough, ain't it?
10:21There's another lesson in business, right, for you.
10:23Yeah, well, in that case, I'm staying in tonight,
10:25so if anybody rings up, I can salvage it.
10:27Well, that's all right.
10:27But you answer the phone all night.
10:29All right, son?
10:29And no more.
10:30Do you hear me?
10:31No more.
10:31Well, that's all right.
10:32Will you use somebody else's phone?
10:33Right.
10:34There you are.
10:38Have a cup of tea, please, sir.
10:39Yeah.
10:40Is that all?
10:41Yeah, for now.
10:42We'll have our meeting when Tony gets here,
10:43and then we might have something worth it all.
10:45Well, you're about to make your lines up quick.
10:47I'll stay and give me when early last Saturday.
10:49I've made some more today, but it's very popular.
10:51So, I don't like kidney.
10:53Oh, seat yourself.
10:57Didn't you get me one?
10:58You've got one.
10:59Well, it's cold.
11:00I've been here hours.
11:01Yeah, well, you should have gone to college then.
11:02No, it's pointless.
11:03We go in, they walk out, and we get sent home.
11:05Yeah, but if you don't go in, they have a go at you.
11:06Oh, so what?
11:07Look, we've got enough problems as it is with this carnival.
11:09I mean, it's in two weeks, and we ain't done nothing yet.
11:11Yeah, I know.
11:12That's what we're here for, though, innit?
11:13Now, listen, when my dad gets here,
11:14you'd better back me up about this steel band.
11:16What about it?
11:17Well, I want one in the carnival, don't I?
11:18Yeah.
11:21Before the mad rush starts, I thought I'd just pop next door
11:24to see if name is all right.
11:26Yeah, all right.
11:27Good job it's only a dummy run, innit?
11:29Yeah, well, I'd have to give him a couple of rounds start.
11:30It's still coming in front, couldn't I?
11:32Oh, yeah, we'll see about that, shall we?
11:34Lofty, it's the quietest lunchtime of the week.
11:36However, if the 97-foot-of-mouth come charging
11:39and thirsting for 100 grand beauty shanties,
11:41I'll let you get him, and I'll still beat you, all right?
11:43See you later.
11:44Yes.
11:46Great news.
11:47I got us an enormous float.
11:49Should be able to take all of us.
11:50What, I will?
11:52All of us, including a steel band.
11:53Now, where are we going to get a steel band from at this stage, eh?
11:57Some of the lads from college are in one, and they're free that day.
11:59Hey, that's great.
12:00So we can have a bit?
12:02Well, it really isn't up to me.
12:03Who's it up to, then?
12:05That's what we're here for now,
12:06to form a carnival float committee for the square.
12:08Will you be in it?
12:09I can't.
12:10Me, Sue, and Mehmet probably do something,
12:11but they ain't got time to be on any committee.
12:14You'll have some of my to say.
12:15Thank you, won't you, darling?
12:16Yeah, sounds great.
12:17I'm a teacher.
12:18Yeah?
12:18Oh, Ali, can you get that?
12:20I've just got to go to the pub for a second.
12:21But it's dinner time.
12:22I know.
12:23I'll only be a minute.
12:24You can't have the same as well, please, Al.
12:29Hey, what's up?
12:30It's only a joke.
12:32I didn't know it was you.
12:34I thought it might have been them.
12:35Oh, well, they've been hanging around again, have they?
12:37I was smiling here earlier.
12:39He was acting really strange, picking things up, looking at me and smiling.
12:43Oh, I don't blame him.
12:45I smile and look at you.
12:46It wasn't a nice smile.
12:48He didn't buy anything.
12:49Well, it doesn't mean to say it's from the firm, does it?
12:51Did he say anything?
12:52No.
12:54He was in here all that time.
12:56He never said one word.
12:58Well, he was probably just having a look round and didn't fancy nothing.
13:00He kept smiling at me.
13:02Yeah, well, he probably fancied you.
13:04It was a different look.
13:06I know when a man likes me.
13:07Oh, well, I don't have to tell you then, do I?
13:10I don't know what's in your eyes.
13:11Well, that's good.
13:12Saves a lot of beating about the bush, doesn't it?
13:15I'm off tomorrow afternoon.
13:16Fancy coming for me or something, eh?
13:18Come on.
13:20Okay.
13:21Great.
13:23I went to Italian food at the moment.
13:24Fancy that?
13:26Great.
13:27Right.
13:29Right.
13:30Yeah, well, I'll pick up about three then, eh?
13:32I'll get Deb's to mind the shop.
13:34Great.
13:36Yeah, well, um, if you ever get worried by anything like this morning,
13:38I'm only next to her.
13:39I can be here in a flash.
13:41Thanks.
13:45Careful, Arthur, it's dripping.
13:47Yeah.
13:48You want to come over to my place for a meal?
13:50You get a proper plate and knives and forks.
13:52Oh, yeah.
13:53Oh, leave off, Sue.
13:54You can have a proper plate, knife and fork if he wants one.
13:56You don't want one, do you, Arthur?
13:58Well, I wouldn't mind if it's dripping.
14:00It ain't.
14:00She's just pulling your leg.
14:01Oh.
14:02Still wouldn't mind a plate, though.
14:04Oh.
14:05Can't bet.
14:08All right?
14:09What can we do for you, eh, Sue?
14:11Apart from a load of washing up, of course.
14:12I was wondering if Angie was around.
14:14I want to arrange a time to come over and talk about the fixtures for the ladies' hearts.
14:17Well, she's upstairs doing the books at the moment.
14:19Come back a bit later, eh?
14:20Yeah, all right.
14:21Tell her, though, won't you, that I'm coming over?
14:23Yeah, all right.
14:23Cheers.
14:23Hello, Sue.
14:24Can I get you a drink?
14:25No, thanks, love.
14:25I'm just going.
14:27Ha, ha, ha.
14:27Never mind, eh, love.
14:28I'll have a tonic water.
14:29Well, you sure you don't want a gin in it?
14:31Positive, thanks.
14:32We can use the hall to make anything we need, but we must start immediately.
14:36You know, we've only got two weeks left.
14:38This should have been done months ago.
14:39Look, don't worry.
14:40It'll be fine.
14:41But we can't do it all ourselves.
14:43Nope.
14:44We'll have to delegate.
14:46Now, as secretary, I'll keep a list of all the people who promised to help and what they're
14:49supposed to be doing.
14:51Kelvin, you organise the band and get costumes and things worked out.
14:55Ian, you're in charge of decorating the floor to the bottom and over the cap.
14:58Yeah, what about Lofton?
14:59Does he know about this yet?
15:00Well, how can you know when we've only just held elections?
15:04Here, good.
15:04You're still here.
15:05Give me the chance.
15:05Get some dinner, will you?
15:06Oh, look, we're in the middle of a meeting day.
15:08Okay.
15:09I'm finished now.
15:10I'm going over to see the chairman.
15:11See you.
15:12Well, come on, Sam.
15:13I'm starving.
15:14All right.
15:14Listen up.
15:16Oi.
15:17Off.
15:17Come on.
15:20How's the cooking coming along?
15:22Do I?
15:22Oh, the books.
15:23Well, the pastry looks fine, but the filling's a wee bit soggy.
15:27That's nice.
15:28Is that a new blouse?
15:29It really suits you.
15:30Shows you how much notice you've taken me.
15:32I've had this since the last licence Victual is due.
15:35But you didn't wear that then, did you?
15:37No, I didn't wear anything.
15:38You didn't take me, remember?
15:40So I bought this to compensate.
15:41Oh, yeah.
15:42And that's it then, is it?
15:44Yeah, it looks great.
15:46Makes you look classy.
15:47I like you taking an interest in me.
15:49I like you looking like that.
15:53Well, maybe we could have a night out together after closing, eh?
16:00What time is that?
16:01No, no, no, no.
16:02I'll get it.
16:03I'll get it.
16:03Two pints, please, Lofty.
16:04You have one, Arthur?
16:05Yeah, I'll have one.
16:06Right.
16:06That's our three pints, Lofty.
16:08Here, Kath, I'll have thought today's specialist, eh?
16:09Uh, jumbo sausage and chips.
16:11Oh, that's lovely.
16:12Get a plate.
16:13They drip.
16:14I think she'll give me a plate, Arthur.
16:15Hey, Lofty.
16:16Yeah?
16:16We just held an election to find the chairman of the Carnival Flood Committee.
16:20I hope you don't mind, but you were elected unanimously.
16:23Was I?
16:24Unanimously?
16:25You don't mind, do you?
16:27No, no, I don't mind.
16:28Couldn't they find any other mug to do it, then?
16:30Oh, shut up.
16:30You're just jealous.
16:31Oh, no, you wouldn't catch me doing anything stupid like that, Lofty.
16:34No, because you wouldn't be elected, would you?
16:36You're just jealous.
16:37No, not if somebody rings up a roundy martill, Lofty, eh?
16:40No.
16:41Oh, well, you'll have to put your next one in the martill, eh?
16:44You know, wrecking it out that way.
16:46No, if you ring up in my till, it's tough, isn't it?
16:49Yeah, well, it's only the dry run, innit?
16:50Can you wait till the real competition starts at night?
16:52No, if you're lucky, there ain't no real competition, is there, mate?
16:57She's a long time.
16:59Yeah, they keep you hanging about down at clinic.
17:01Yeah, she's still a long time.
17:04I'm worried about getting back to the doctor.
17:05I want to find out what they said.
17:06Oh, worry, that's all you ever get with your kids.
17:09Do you know I still worry about you?
17:11Worry about me?
17:12You've got no reason to worry about me, have you?
17:14Oh, haven't I?
17:16Oh, no.
17:17I mean, I could manage.
17:19I've got me health and strength, and Arthur and I are happy together still.
17:23What more could I ask?
17:24Plenty, but you won't get it.
17:27Thanks.
17:28Oh, I wanted everything for you.
17:30You know, nice house, kids, no need to work.
17:33Mum, I've got more than most people, haven't I?
17:36You've got troubles, that's what you've got.
17:38And I'm one of them.
17:40You're no trouble, Mum.
17:41Aye.
17:42Well, actually, yes, you are sometimes.
17:45But I don't know, sometimes I sit and I just wish...
17:49I wish everything could be normal.
17:51Well, what's normal when it's at home?
17:54Well, you know, the kids just married and that.
17:57Instead, got Mark run off God knows where, Michelle pregnant and at school.
18:05And as for Martin, well, he shouldn't be here at all, should he?
18:09I mean, not that that means I don't love him, because I do.
18:12Well, do you know, I don't know what is normal these days.
18:15Them days neither.
18:16I mean, you're deaf and I.
18:17We was normal, but look where I ended up.
18:20Still with you lot in this house.
18:23Yeah.
18:26I'll make another pot of tea, shall I?
18:28Might as well.
18:29Yeah.
18:30Here, listen.
18:31You was right the first time.
18:33We've got a lot to be grateful for.
18:34We're still alive and kicking and together.
18:37That's the main thing.
18:40Yeah.
18:47All right, Michelle.
18:48How's it going?
18:49I'm fed up.
18:50Well, that makes two of us.
18:51What have you got to be fed up about?
18:52Well, because my old man's in there while I'm standing out here.
18:55That's why I'm fed up.
18:56Oh, I wish I still lied to be fed up about.
18:58Go to the clinic.
18:59What for?
19:01You do have to go to the clinic when you're pregnant, you know.
19:03Honestly, I've been talked at, talked down to, prodded, poked,
19:06wait here, wait there.
19:08I felt like walking out.
19:09Well, you shouldn't let them treat you that way.
19:10What can I do, eh?
19:11I mean, I'm just one of those cows I herd through every day.
19:14When your name's being called, there's always one really vicious one
19:16who says Miss Fowler, as if you're some little tar who's
19:18got no right to be there.
19:20Well, wouldn't your mum go with you?
19:21I wouldn't want her to.
19:23If my dad was there, he'd have had a right go at him.
19:26It's my baby.
19:26Can't do it on me own, I suppose.
19:39I'll take a place, Sue.
19:40Yeah, I wish you wouldn't have come at once.
19:42I don't mind just so long as you come.
19:44Well, that's good, isn't it?
19:45Because you've got the washing up.
19:46Well, you could give us a hand with it before you go and see Angie.
19:48I'd love to, but duty calls.
19:50Look, duty calls you here.
19:51Oh, come on, Ellie.
19:53This is important.
19:54Anyway, how many times have you left me to do it all?
19:56Only if I've had to.
19:58Oh, of course.
19:58I'm forgetting the cars really have a hold on you, don't they?
20:01Even when you've got to go to your brothers or your cousins or your mate who you haven't
20:04seen for years, who's got a school going this afternoon.
20:07Then you have to go, don't you?
20:09Or today, I have to go.
20:13Come on.
20:14I'll give you an hand.
20:17Cheers.
20:20Do you want another one, Pete?
20:21No, I'd better get back.
20:22Left him out there long enough, I reckon.
20:24I'll teach him to study hard so he don't have to stand out there all day like his old dad.
20:28See you.
20:28Going?
20:29Yeah, I'd better get back then.
20:31I'll leave it out.
20:32You two.
20:32Not in the public.
20:33Do people start a talk?
20:35Don't they always, Pete?
20:36Hello, Angie.
20:37Hello.
20:37Can I have a little chat about the dates for the ladies' dots?
20:39Yeah, of course you can.
20:40Come round and we'll go upstairs.
20:41I'll see you later.
20:45What's the matter?
20:45Just going to ask you the same question, mate.
20:47What do you mean?
20:48There's nothing wrong here, is there?
20:49Oh, you and Angie are a bit friendly these days, aren't you?
20:51No screaming matches, no snide remarks.
20:54Come on, there's got to be sunny, Tom.
20:56Marvellous, isn't it?
20:56A man and his wife don't argue for once, no one thinks the same wrong.
20:58A very telling indictment of our cynical age.
21:00Oh, yeah, that's all right.
21:01But what's wrong?
21:02Well, in the maelstrom of our marriage, we've hit upon an oasis of peace and contentment.
21:06What's all that mean?
21:06It means I've finished with Jan.
21:08Finished with her?
21:08How's she taken?
21:09Not very well, but Ange took it better.
21:11I bet she did.
21:11She's been grinning like a cheshire cat.
21:13One or two of us have been getting a bit worried.
21:14I can tell your mate.
21:15Well, there's no need to be.
21:16Everything's sweet.
21:17You sure?
21:18Look, marriage is something you've got to work at.
21:20Yeah, but don't you work too hard.
21:22You'll burn yourself out.
21:23And I'm working on that one.
21:24Look, I'm trying to make the best of it, all right?
21:26I've turned over a new leaf.
21:27Yeah.
21:28Yeah.
21:29We might get one or two friendlies, but that's all the official ones.
21:32All right, good.
21:33Right, then, do you want a cup of coffee, babes?
21:34Oh, yeah.
21:35That'd be nice, thanks.
21:38Um, is Den all right?
21:40Yeah, fine, fine.
21:42As a matter of fact, we're getting on better than ever.
21:44I think he's got through that stage, you know, the male menopause.
21:47He's not even middle-aged.
21:49You know, if my ally ever got any ideas like that, I'd soon sort him out.
21:53I'd sort him out right where he would never get any ideas like that ever again.
21:56Oh, I don't know.
21:57I'd just be patient, let him find his own way, with a little bit of help when he needed it.
22:02How would you know if he needed any help?
22:05I'd just get depressed, that's all.
22:08Hmm.
22:09Does Den ever get, you know, depressed, that kind of thing?
22:12No, I'm the one that suffers from depression around here.
22:15Nothing serious, you know, I just get fed up sometimes.
22:17Hmm.
22:19Yeah, I got really depressed when I lost my assand.
22:22I just couldn't shake it off at all.
22:24Yeah, I know.
22:26We're all really proud of the way you and Ali coped.
22:28It couldn't have been easy.
22:29No.
22:30Do you know, I still hear him calling out in the night sometimes.
22:33I get out of bed and go to him and then I remember.
22:36Glad I got Ali there then.
22:38You need somebody told when you feel like that.
22:40Someone to hold you.
22:42Yeah.
22:43Men can be right so-and-sos, but there's nothing like a cuddle when you feel miserable.
22:47No, Ali was terrific.
22:48He was so strong, I mean, I just went to pieces.
22:52I just couldn't think of him as dead.
22:54I mean, my little house hand, dead.
22:56I mean, I couldn't imagine what it was like to be dead.
22:59I mean, it's not something you think about, is it, being dead?
23:03Yeah, I wanted to die, you know.
23:06About a week after, I just wanted to die.
23:09I wouldn't have done anything about it.
23:11Of course, I think killing yourself's stupid, but I did.
23:15I just wanted to die.
23:17Glad I didn't now, of course.
23:19Yeah.
23:21Killing yourself is stupid, innit?
23:23I think so.
23:24I mean, me and Ali are fine now.
23:26I mean, life's got to go on, can't go on living in the past.
23:30Oh, I'm sorry.
23:32Look, I didn't mean to come round here and get all morbid and upset you.
23:37That's all right, Sue.
23:39Cup of tea, please, huh?
23:40Yeah.
23:41Do you want one, Shel?
23:42No, thanks.
23:42Just the one.
23:43That's all right.
23:45There you go.
23:46So, you got the day off school, then?
23:49No, I've been to the clinic.
23:51I'd rather give you time off for that, can't I?
23:53I was supposed to go back, but I didn't feel like it.
23:57It's funny, innit?
23:58I'm about to have a kid and I've still got to go to school.
24:02I feel stupid now.
24:03Yeah.
24:04It's like when I was waiting to join up.
24:05It is stupid.
24:06I know exactly how you feel.
24:08Thanks.
24:08No-one else does.
24:11Kicked me the little beggar.
24:13Did it?
24:14Where?
24:15And again.
24:16Oh, it is lively today.
24:20Shel, could I, you know, feel?
24:23Yeah, come on.
24:31Did you get it?
24:32No, I missed it.
24:37Oh, yeah.
24:38I really felt it kick.
24:40That's amazing.
24:41Oh, I'm not in the middle of the night yet, ain't it?
24:42It's incredible.
24:43It's a real baby, Shel.
24:45It's great.
24:47It's nice when you talk like that.
24:49I don't feel so on my own, then.
24:54You said you wanted to be on your own.
24:57I mean, I said about us getting married and that.
25:00You said you wanted to be on your own, didn't you?
25:04I didn't give you an answer either, why?
25:06No, well, no news was bad news, I thought.
25:09I'm sorry, Lofty.
25:13How are you managing?
25:15It's hard.
25:17Get harder, I suppose.
25:19Well, I'm still here.
25:22Thanks, Lofty.
25:24Last swimmer.
25:36That's it, then.
25:37We're back down about nine o'clock.
25:38Well, there's nothing to come down until closing time.
25:40Be fairly quiet tonight.
25:41Cheers.
25:41I might take you up on it.
25:43All right.
25:45Did they say the baby was all right?
25:46Have you got to have a scan?
25:47No, I don't need one.
25:49Oh, well, that's good.
25:50And they had a feel and everything, yeah?
25:52God, did they?
25:52Thought it was going to start fighting back.
25:54They made me want to have a wallet when they'd finished.
25:55Oh, I love it when they do that.
25:57You know, in the old days, that was when we knew it was all right.
26:00Yeah, I must admit, I did rather enjoy it when they did it today.
26:03Yeah.
26:03I told you, if it didn't stop, there'd be trouble.
26:05I was actually talking to my baby.
26:07It was lovely.
26:08Then some old car comes on and spoils it for telling me off not to take my iron tablets.
26:11Yeah, I never liked them, neither.
26:13Stout, that's what you need.
26:14Do you know, I didn't have any iron tablets, not even one.
26:18Your granddad used to bring me home a bottle of Guinness.
26:20He said that was all the iron I needed.
26:22Yeah, I don't like Stout either.
26:23You know you don't eat enough greens, my girl.
26:27What do they say about having a baby?
26:29Do you know, I had all mine at home.
26:31Here, do you know, you was born here, in this house.
26:34You know, it's different today, Mum.
26:36They've got all this modern equipment and everything.
26:37Well, if everything's so modern, why did you have to go to hospital then?
26:40Grant, I've just had all this down there.
26:42I don't want to come back to it, all right?
26:43Oh, so I don't have an opinion, do I?
26:47Well, no, actually, no, you don't.
26:49Look, this is my baby, and I'm the one who's got all the options and decisions, all right?
26:53Yeah, and I don't want to have it in hospital.
26:55Here, Mum, leave her.
27:01Everything all right, love?
27:02Yeah, terrific.
27:03Nice chat with Sue?
27:04Yeah.
27:05All she could talk about was death.
27:07Oh, what a daft cow.
27:08She's the third person to pop round for a chat in the last few days.
27:12Is something going on?
27:13Not that I know of, no.
27:14I mean, you've been a bit low lately, and people have probably noticed,
27:16and they want to show you they care, that's all.
27:18No one knows about me and, you know, do they?
27:21No.
27:22The only people around here who know is myself and Dr Legg.
27:24Only I don't want no one to know, Dan.
27:26They won't, I promise you.
27:29Well, she's left me exhausted,
27:30so I think I might go and have that lie down after all.
27:33How exhausted has she left you?
27:35We're not completely exhausted. Why?
27:37Well, I just thought we might go and have a lie down, that's all.
27:40Are you tired?
27:42Not a bit.
27:47Well, come on!
