00:019 o'clock. Police investigations continue into yesterday's daring Walford bank raid.
00:07Eric Boone, the man who tried to foil the Raiders, is still in Walford Hospital,
00:10where his condition is described as a satisfa...
00:13Shouldn't you be going up to the Labour Exchange?
00:16Job centre.
00:17Eh?
00:18They stopped calling it the Labour Exchange years ago.
00:21Well, whatever they call it, you should be up there,
00:23instead of sitting there with your feet up.
00:25I'm going later. I'm looking at the job ads in the local Raider.
00:28What? Is there anything worth going for?
00:30Yeah. If I was 30 years younger and had a degree,
00:33I'm thinking of buying myself a pair of shorts and going in for one of them YTS schemes.
00:37You're going to be late for work and all.
00:39I'm not going this morning. I'm taking Martin down the clinic for his injection.
00:44Dot's going to do my shift for me.
00:45Well, I could have done that for you.
00:47I'd rather do it myself, thanks, Mum.
00:49But it's a whole shift's money down the drain.
00:52You ought to be thinking about the pennies now.
00:54We've only got one job in the family now.
00:57Yeah, well, actually, Dot wants you to go to Bingo with her this afternoon.
01:00Oh, I hate going with Dot.
01:02She's always moaning about her aches and pains.
01:05I can't even hear the calls.
01:07Yeah, well, you can tell her yourself, because she's coming round for you later.
01:10Oh.
01:11Here.
01:11I've got a list of dots for you, Arthur.
01:13Eh?
01:15Things you couldn't do when you were doing that cleaning round.
01:18Now you're out of work and on the dole, you'd better keep yourself occupied.
01:21Well, that's very thoughtful of you, Mum, but I'm organising the supporters do for tonight.
01:26There you are.
01:31But these are all things for you.
01:33Your shopping, your repairs.
01:35And what makes you think I can sole and nail a pair of shoes?
01:38Oh, my, Albert always did.
01:40He saved us a fortune.
01:41Oh, well, I'm not your Albert, and I'm not your servant.
01:44Now, don't worry.
01:45I'll keep myself occupied by doing things that need doing.
01:48Those jobs need doing.
01:49Around the house, for the whole family.
01:52It's not worthwhile putting a load of jobs onto Arthur, Mum.
01:55It's not fair.
01:56It's his first day out of work.
01:58I mean, he might get a job straight away.
02:01Well, he didn't last time.
02:03You've got to face facts, Pauline.
02:05There aren't no jobs for people Arthur's age now.
02:08That's the way the world is, and it's no use pretending it's any different.
02:12Thanks very much, Mum.
02:13You've really set me up for my trip to the job centre.
02:15Maybe I should forget the situation's vacant page and stick to the front page.
02:21Get myself in on a nice little bank robbery.
02:23That should solve our problems, shouldn't it?
02:26Cheers, Ma.
02:27What do you think it's about, Nick?
02:29Eh?
02:30My letter from the bank.
02:31You've probably just overdrawn, that's all.
02:33I couldn't have done that.
02:34I'm very careful about that.
02:36Anyway, I'm trying to build up my savings.
02:43This is Mrs Dorothy Cotton.
02:45I had a letter this morning from...
02:46Oh.
02:49Mr Makepeace.
02:50You've got nothing to worry about.
02:51Ignore it.
02:51I can't do that.
02:52They told me I've got a call in or phone.
02:55Oh, oh, hello, Mr Makepeace.
02:57This is Mrs Dorothy Cotton.
03:00Oh, yes, yes, I got it this morning.
03:03Oh, dear.
03:06Oh.
03:08Oh.
03:09Well, yes, well, I'll come in tomorrow morning, then.
03:12All right.
03:13Right, I'll do that.
03:15Bye.
03:16Everything all right?
03:17It's caught someone trying to cash one of me cheques.
03:20Blimey.
03:21Yes, somebody who knew me, they said.
03:23Nice friends you've got.
03:24They charging them?
03:24I don't know.
03:25He said I've got to go in and see them.
03:27Says I've got to check through me cheques book.
03:29Well, we'd better do that, then, haven't we?
03:31Yeah, don't see if there'll be any cheques missing to me.
03:33See for yourself.
03:34Honey, there must be some mistake.
03:35Yeah, well, the stubs are filled in.
03:36Sure handwriting.
03:37Oh, yes.
03:38I don't know what they're on about.
03:40Nobody mixed you up with none of Mrs Cotton, eh?
03:41Well, that's not right, is it?
03:43I mean, not with my nerves.
03:44I shall tell him that when I go in tomorrow.
03:46But I only want to check if everything's all right for tonight.
03:49That's all.
03:50Oh, don't worry about it, Arthur.
03:51It's all in hand.
03:52We've done bigger events than your supporters club do, you know?
03:54Yeah, I know, but come on, then.
03:55Oh, talk to Lofty about it.
03:57Go on.
03:57Then, excuse me, you know, I'll leave most of tomorrow afternoon off.
04:01I've got me medical for the traffic wardens.
04:03You said it'd be all right.
04:04Oh, yeah.
04:04We can manage without him, can't we, Wixie?
04:06Yeah, I suppose so.
04:07Take the old half, mate.
04:09Thanks, then.
04:12Ah, Lofty.
04:13Den said I should talk to you about the supporters club do.
04:15Did he?
04:15Yeah, we're very excited about it, you know.
04:17Yeah, Lofty.
04:18You haven't got today off as well, have you?
04:19How do you mean?
04:20Look, we've got to get ready for opening, haven't we?
04:21Ethel's at the doctors this morning, so you've got to play Mrs Mop, haven't you?
04:24Yeah, I thought you said we were splitting it.
04:28Yeah, look, could you come back later?
04:31Sort of quite a lot later.
04:36I just popped into the sale with me round much today.
04:38Fair enough.
04:39Yeah, I promised Fat Harry I'd pop in and see him for a while.
04:42He's also got the smell of some cheekbone.
04:44It's okay, Den.
04:45You don't have to give me a timetable.
04:47So I'll be back very late tonight, all right?
04:49Right, then, I won't wait up.
04:50Okay.
04:57Here, Den.
04:58Listen, you sure you're right to give Lofty the old elf?
05:00We are a bit short-handed, you know?
05:01Look, you're just going to have to get used to managing him without him, right?
05:04He's gone after another job.
05:05This might be a blessing in disguise, save me giving him the elbow.
05:07You wouldn't sack him with you.
05:09Look, we've cast walking out and all.
05:10Look, I need people round me I can trust, right?
05:12Lofty's a lovely guy, but he's a little bit naive.
05:14I need people who know when to keep their ears open and when to go deaf,
05:16when to keep their eyes peeled and look the other way,
05:17and that's a little bit too complicated for Lofty.
05:19Yeah, it's leaving me behind and all.
05:20No, no, I can count on you, Wixie.
05:22Well, I'm glad to hear it.
05:23You just need a little bit of training.
05:24That's all.
05:24You need to know who your friends are.
05:26Now, I make a good friend and a lousy enemy.
05:28Yeah, but there's no reason for us to feel that, have you, Den?
05:30No, of course not, because I pay your wages.
05:32Right.
05:33And every now and again, there might be a little favour that I want to in,
05:35just like I did for you when I got you out of trouble with the firm.
05:37Yeah, and I really appreciate that, Den.
05:39If there's ever anything I can do for you...
05:41Well, funny you should mention that.
05:43I mean, Angie's been acting a little bit funny lately,
05:44and I'm not always here, so I need something to keep an eye on.
05:47How do you mean?
05:48Well, you know, Angie's a little bit impulsive
05:49and we wouldn't want her to do anything that you'd regret now, would we?
05:51And that's where you come in.
05:53You mean spy on her?
05:54No, that's not what I mean.
05:55I want you to help me help her.
05:58Yeah, look, I'm sorry, Den, but I couldn't do that.
06:00I wouldn't feel right.
06:01Think about it.
06:02We wouldn't want you to make a bad career decision now, would we?
06:05Just when things were looking so promising.
06:08Here you go, girl.
06:09Come on.
06:10I don't want anything from you.
06:12Neither of us.
06:14Well, I'd say that was stupid, because I could be a lot of help.
06:16Yeah, and I know all about your kind of help.
06:19You know everything, don't you?
06:20I'm learning.
06:22We've got a lot in common, you know.
06:23I hope not.
06:24Of course we have.
06:25Look, I know no-one likes me,
06:27but you're not exactly flavour of a month, are you?
06:29Yeah, don't kid yourself.
06:31You're the girl who takes her clothes off for money, right?
06:33Yeah, and I've told you I don't do it anymore.
06:36You reckon that makes a difference?
06:38Mud sticks, I should know.
06:40You could go away and become a nun,
06:42but to them you'll always be a stripper.
06:43I don't care what they think anyway.
06:45You should stick to your own kind,
06:46because like it or not, we have got a lot in common.
06:49We're both on the outside looking in,
06:51but if we went into business together,
06:53things could start looking up.
06:54We both have a bit of money,
06:56we could both start to enjoy life again.
06:57Look, I'm not trying to push you into anything.
07:00I just want you to give me a fair hearing, right?
07:02So let me buy you and little Annie a bit of breakfast,
07:04talk it over, no obligation.
07:06Just listen to what I've got to say.
07:09Not now.
07:09I've got to take care for her injections.
07:12Later then, yeah?
07:13What time would suit you?
07:16Morning all.
07:17Morning.
07:18Oh, that's all we needed.
07:20I was hoping you might be able to do me a little favor.
07:25Sorry to keep you waiting, Dot.
07:26I'm running a bit behind this morning.
07:28You don't have to tell me that.
07:29That waiting room's like a madhouse.
07:31You want to get yourself organized.
07:32I'll do my best, Doc.
07:33Yes, well, I've brought you this cutting.
07:36There's this hospital.
07:37It's got a diagnostic computer.
07:39Yeah, I've heard all about them.
07:40Yeah, you punch in your symptoms,
07:42and then it tells you what's wrong with you.
07:44Fortunately, some people still prefer the personal touch, Dot.
07:46Oh, yes, there's nothing wrong with the bedside manner,
07:48but one of them things might help you get rid of some of them malingerers out there.
07:52Give you more time to concentrate on them others that are really ill.
07:55Yeah.
07:55I mean, I hear you forgot all about poor old Lou the other day.
07:58Sick woman like that having to take a chance in that waiting room.
08:01Don't bear thinking about it.
08:03Uh, Dot, I'm still running a bit late,
08:05so if you could just tell me what's wrong.
08:06I'm not sleeping.
08:08Oh, I see.
08:08We've had that problem before, haven't we?
08:10It's not the same.
08:11What isn't?
08:11Well, last time I wasn't sleeping, it was different.
08:14Then it was me nerves.
08:16Yeah?
08:16Well, this time, it's the sweating.
08:20Oh, I see.
08:21Yes, well, you see, sometimes I get off to sleep, all right,
08:23for a little while,
08:24and then I woke up covered in perspiration.
08:27Oh, it's terrible.
08:28I mean, the sheets are soaking wet.
08:30Well, that's not normal, is it?
08:31Well, it depends.
08:32Well, I mean, I know you think I'm silly,
08:33but, you know, I'm frightened, Doctor.
08:36I mean, I'm getting terribly irritable.
08:37I suppose that's all the sleep I'm losing.
08:40Well, that's certainly a contributory factor,
08:41but it could be hormonal.
08:43Eh?
08:44A lot of women experience uncomfortable symptoms
08:46when they're approaching the menopause.
08:48I see.
08:49Have your periods been getting less regular?
08:51Oh, yes, but I mean, that's natural in a woman of my age, isn't it?
08:54Oh, yes, of course, but the age can vary a lot.
08:56You see, when a woman approaches the menopause,
08:59her ovaries stop producing a monthly ovum,
09:01and they also stop secreting the cyclic supply of oestrogen.
09:05At the same time,
09:06there is a decline in the production of the hormone progesterone.
09:10I see.
09:11Now, a lot of women can go through all this without many problems,
09:14but others aren't so lucky.
09:16Yeah, no, no, no, I'll take it, I'll take it, yeah.
09:19Well, it's much more than I expected, innit?
09:23I don't understand it.
09:25How'd it go?
09:25Look, you know, I'm in a cab.
09:27At least I'm back on the road.
09:28That's great.
09:29Yeah?
09:2960 quid a week, though.
09:30I'll be working two nights a week for them before I've made anything.
09:33You're lucky to have a job to work at.
09:34Yeah, I suppose you're right there, Arthur.
09:36And Sue's got this fast food business plans and all.
09:38Oh, what's all this?
09:39Just plain East End cooking.
09:41Delivered to your door by yours truly.
09:43Caps and that, you know, takeaways mainly.
09:45Good luck to you.
09:46Yeah, I'd like to see someone with a bit of enterprise.
09:49I'm ever so sorry, I'll get on with it straight away.
09:52Go now, please.
09:54Oh, where do you think you've been?
09:55I thought you were going to make sure I didn't have nothing to worry about.
09:58Yeah, well, I'd like to see a man about a dog.
10:00No harm done, eh?
10:00But I'm back now, and I'll give you a hand sorting things out.
10:06Excuse me.
10:07Some of us have got work to do.
10:11Here you go.
10:16Good morning, madam.
10:17Morning.
10:18You've done a nice job.
10:21That's a conversion.
10:23Very nice.
10:25Thanks.
10:25It's good to see someone who recognises the potential of a place like this.
10:29Could be a goldmine if it was handled right.
10:31Yeah, I hope so.
10:32It's amazing what a little imagination can do.
10:35You know, a few months ago, this shop was nothing more than a run-down little market store.
10:39No real future in it.
10:40But now, well, the sky's the limit.
10:45You seem to have taken a lot of interest in the place.
10:47Well, I always keep an eye on potential clients.
10:50Are you selling something?
10:51Well, yes, I suppose I am.
10:53Peace of mind.
10:56See?
10:58You've already had a visit from a couple of our representatives, Beresford and Victor.
11:03Not very subtle fellows, are they?
11:06Animals.
11:07Yes.
11:08Get out.
11:08Oh, certainly.
11:09That's the way you wanted.
11:10I only came to help you.
11:12What do you mean?
11:14I rather hoped we could sort all this out between us on a more civilised basis.
11:21Okay.
11:22I'm listening.
11:23Well, the trouble with people like Victor and Beresford is they're not very bright.
11:29They don't know how to explain things.
11:32They tend to emphasise the more negative aspects of our service rather than telling people the real benefits.
11:37What benefits?
11:39We want your business to grow.
11:41We want you to prosper because in the end we have a stake in your prosperity, just like your family.
11:47I've been to the police, you know.
11:49Yes, I know.
11:51Didn't do much good, though.
11:53See, I wouldn't blame them.
11:54They're terribly overworked these days, especially around here.
11:57It's such a bad area.
12:00All this violence.
12:01Even our bank robberies now.
12:02You really do need our protection.
12:05Can't afford it.
12:06Oh, nonsense.
12:08If you can afford this conversion, you can afford to protect it.
12:11That sound business sense.
12:13Now, you're an intelligent woman.
12:14I'm sure you can picture the tragic consequences of a fire breaking out here.
12:20You can understand what it would mean if, for example, you were permanently disabled,
12:26that your business would suffer dreadfully.
12:30Now, some of our clients aren't as clever as you.
12:34They need Vic and Beresford to emphasise these points.
12:38But I'm sure that between us, we can avoid that happening.
12:53Thank you, madam.
12:56May I say it's been a pleasure doing business with you.
13:00Good morning.
13:09Hello.
13:09Now, Coastal, come in.
13:11What we did?
13:12Got things to do, won't be back too late.
13:14Go on, up you go.
13:15Angie.
13:17Hello.
13:20I had a little talk with him this morning.
13:21Oh, yeah?
13:23He seems a bit worried about you.
13:24Oh, that makes a change, doesn't it?
13:26Everything's all right, though, isn't it?
13:27Yes, never better.
13:34He didn't see me, love, did he?
13:35Look, you're here now.
13:36No one's going to disturb us.
13:38Come on.
13:40No, it's just that I hate listening for that key in the door all the time.
13:43You know.
13:43I told you, you won't be back too late.
13:46Now relax.
13:47Do you want a drink?
13:48Is that instead of something else, eh?
13:53That's more like it.
14:00What's this?
14:01New kind of training scheme?
14:02Yeah, cobblers.
14:03Oh, sorry I asked.
14:05Hiya, Gran.
14:06Well, I've started on your list.
14:08Oh, I ain't got nothing for you at the labour exchange, then.
14:10You're joking.
14:11There's this little game we play.
14:13They pretend they might find me something,
14:14and I pretend I believe they will.
14:16Otherwise, we might all start wondering what we're doing there.
14:19Hello, love, I'm back.
14:21Oh, dear.
14:23Oh, our themes is good to scold.
14:25Hardly a murmur.
14:27Hey.
14:28Some of them kids down there are screaming their heads off.
14:30I'm glad something went right today.
14:31What, no luck down there, then?
14:33Oh, no.
14:33They've got two, you know.
14:34They've got a job centre for the clerical, executive and professional unemployed.
14:38I pass it on me way home.
14:40God, I mean, it's a bit different from ours.
14:41They've got water wall carpeting, flashlighting.
14:44So it's us and them, even if you're out of a job.
14:46Oh, no need to get bitter about it, Arthur.
14:48Yeah, you can't expect a managing director to sign on the same place as a chimney sweep.
14:52Must be just as awful for them as it is for us.
14:54Yeah.
14:54I'll make you a nice cup of tea, eh?
14:56Okay.
14:56Anyone at home?
14:57In here, Doc.
14:58Oh, Nick's looking after the launderer.
15:00So you can go over any time you like, Pauline.
15:03Thanks.
15:03He's a changed boy these days.
15:05He'd do anything for anyone.
15:07Here, Arthur, you ought to have a word with him sometime.
15:10Oh, why's that?
15:10Well, what with you being out of work and Nick doing so well, he might be able to help you
15:14in some way.
15:15Yeah, well, I don't think Nick and me are in the same line of trade.
15:17Well, I was only trying to help Arthur.
15:19I mean, I know how difficult it must be for you having to go through all this again.
15:23Involved in extensive house-to-house inquiries in the belief that some of the raiders may
15:27still be in the Walford area.
15:29There you go.
15:30Juice for lemon.
15:31Honey, drop the scotch and top it up with boiling water.
15:34We don't cure his cold.
15:34Certainly stop me moaning about it.
15:35Keep him happy anyway.
15:36Cheers, darling.
15:38If I said I had the food, does that mean I'd have a chance of having a drink?
15:40Oh, I'll go to the cab and get you a cup and see if you like, darling.
15:42That's not exactly what I meant, darling.
15:44Look, if you want a drink, I don't mind you going in the Vick and having one.
15:47I stay and look after the stall.
15:49I just don't fancy going near there today.
15:51How long is this feud going on between you and her?
15:53Well, it all depends on her, doesn't it?
15:55And anyway, what you moaning about?
15:56I thought you'd be pleased to have me working out here at dinner times again.
15:59Of course I do.
16:00Mind you, we miss the old pub money, though, won't we?
16:02Oh, that's all that's bothering you, isn't it?
16:03Oh, honest, Kath.
16:04It's just you and how you've been friends for so long.
16:06I don't like to see you falling out like this.
16:08Look, want me to have a word with her?
16:09No, this is between her and me, all right, Pete?
16:12Look, I've always stuck up for where Den's concerned,
16:14but that don't stop me saying nothing when she's got a bit on the side.
16:17Excuse me, that man over there by the cab, do you know him?
16:21No, I don't think so.
16:23He was in the shop this morning, after protection.
16:27Want me to have a word with him?
16:28No, no, no thanks, not yet.
16:29I just want to try and work out who's doing this to me.
16:32I know that bloke, you know, Pete.
16:34So do you, if you think about it.
16:36It's the same not that threatened you last time, love.
16:38Only that one's a lot closer to the top of the pile.
16:41It's all right.
16:44You've got a minute now, Lofty.
16:45Uh, yeah, yeah, I suppose so.
16:46Well, I want to know about the arrangement for the night.
16:48Well, we've done everything like you said, you know,
16:49we've had the posters up for a week,
16:51and we've got the mic in for your announcements.
16:52All right, and Mr McDowell mustn't buy a drink all night.
16:54Eh?
16:54Terry McDowell, the manager, will settle his bill with club funds.
16:57Oh, all right.
16:58Well, that's the least we can do, isn't it?
17:00I mean, that man's single hand that he's turned this club right around.
17:03Yeah, well, they didn't get relegated, I suppose.
17:05Mind you, it was only on goal difference, wasn't it, Arthur?
17:07Look at the old attitude's changed.
17:13Good afternoon.
17:14Good afternoon.
17:14Mr Whatabell?
17:16No, I'm afraid he's not.
17:16No, we're not expecting him back till later.
17:18I see.
17:19Can I get you anything?
17:20A scotch.
17:21Oh, right.
17:21Buy some soda?
17:22No, thank you.
17:24All right, then.
17:25There you go, mate.
17:26That's, um...
17:27On the air, sir.
17:29Thank you, Mrs Watts.
17:31I'm so sorry to have missed your husband.
17:34Is there a message?
17:36No.
17:37We'll be in touch.
17:47Yes, Doc?
17:48Come in, Mary.
17:49I've got this for Annie in the market.
17:52Oh, it's lovely.
17:54It's not a birthday, you know.
17:56Oh, feels like it's mine.
17:57Doc's had a win on the bingo.
17:59Oh, that's great.
18:00How much?
18:01She'll never go.
18:02She must have been good by the look on your face.
18:04Hmm, 250 quid.
18:07In all the years I've been going to the bingo, I've never had so much as the smell of a
18:10prize.
18:11Oh, it's just the luck of the draw.
18:13You're pleased for me, anyway, aren't you, Lou?
18:15Of course I am.
18:16Yes, I've never won anything before, not in the whole of me life.
18:19I always thought I was an unlucky woman.
18:21Just shows how wrong you can be, doesn't it, Lou?
18:24Yeah.
18:25We stopped on the travel agents at the way home, you know, and I got these holiday brochures.
18:30Oh, well, you're not going to blow it all on holiday, Doc.
18:32Why not?
18:32It's the only chance I'll ever get.
18:34They always used to send invalids to the sea, like Katie and them books.
18:38Oh, if you went with this one, you'd probably find the hotel wasn't built yet.
18:42You going on this holiday as well, Mrs Beale?
18:44No.
18:44Oh, she's thinking about it, ain't she, Lou?
18:46Be more fun with the two of us.
18:48That's a matter of opinion.
18:50Oh, just have a look at the brochure.
18:52See if there's something you fancy.
18:54Oh, you only want me to go because you don't want to spend the extra money,
18:58the single supplement, on the room, ain't it, Doc?
19:00No, that isn't it, Lou.
19:02I'd feel happier sharing with an old friend.
19:04Oh, go on, have a look.
19:06Benny Dorm.
19:08Modern apartment above a disco.
19:10You wouldn't get a wink of sleep.
19:12Oh, no, that's for the youngsters.
19:13Go on, there's hotels as well.
19:14Oh, yeah.
19:15Two swimming pools, two bars, mini golf, tennis,
19:19tennis, children's playground, baby-minding facilities.
19:23Oh, that's everything.
19:24We don't want to have a perfect holiday, innit?
19:39What time does Sharon get back?
19:41Oh, she's gone to drama club.
19:42She won't be back till 5.30.
19:44Once we start chucking them out downstairs,
19:46we've got the place to ourselves till opening time tonight.
19:49I just feel a bit edgy, love, that's all.
19:51That's okay.
19:52Still not used to it, eh?
19:53Oh, meaning I am, I suppose.
19:55No, I'm not meaning you are at all.
19:57I would just like one afternoon
19:58when you're not worrying about Debbie,
20:00Den, Sharon and the rest of Albert Square.
20:02Yeah, I'm sorry.
20:03And stop keep saying you're sorry
20:05and you might enjoy yourself.
20:06I don't know, I just feel guilty, that's all.
20:09Why?
20:10I don't.
20:11He goes off with his bit of fluff
20:13every chance he gets, doesn't he?
20:14What, Jan?
20:15Hmm, she phoned this morning.
20:17I've got to put up with that and all now.
20:18Of course, it wasn't me she wanted to speak to, was it?
20:21I thought he was with her, though.
20:22He was.
20:23They had a row.
20:24She thought we'd come back here.
20:26Oh, thank God he didn't.
20:27Yeah, you can say that again.
20:29I said to her, listen, darling,
20:31if he's not with me and he's not with you,
20:33there is just one possibility
20:35neither of us have thought of.
20:37Perhaps he's got somebody else.
20:39I bet that had a worry day.
20:40You don't think that, though, do you?
20:42Oh, I don't know.
20:44And I don't care.
20:46Well, I just want to enjoy myself
20:48and forget about a lot of them.
20:52As long as you are sure
20:53Sharon will not come back later.
20:56I'm sure, I'm sure, I'm sure.
20:59Yes!
21:02Yeah, we're trying to tell him then that
21:03because he thinks he does.
21:04No, you ought to tell him
21:05because you ought to stand up for yourself more.
21:07Standing up for yourself
21:08is a recognised way of getting a sack at the Vic.
21:10Yeah, well, you haven't got a union, I suppose.
21:12Well, I don't need one, do I?
21:14No.
21:15You work unsociable hours
21:16for lousy pay
21:17for a boss who eyes and fires when it suits him
21:19but you don't need a union.
21:20Oh, you take the biscuit, you know, wixie.
21:22Yeah, well, the way I see it,
21:23it ain't worth getting involved in politics.
21:24Well, as my Harry says,
21:26politics ain't what goes on in Parliament,
21:28it's what happens to you and me
21:29and the fact that Cheryl's dad's on a dole again.
21:31Yeah, well, that isn't politics, that's a crime.
21:33Yeah, well, it's the same thing sometimes.
21:35But the worst thing is
21:35he's gonna have to take it again, right?
21:37What else can he do?
21:38Well, I don't know, get angry, shout.
21:39Oh, he gets angry, right?
21:40I've seen him, I've seen him cry too,
21:43although he don't know that.
21:44But none of it helps.
21:45No, see, it's like I said,
21:46it ain't worth getting involved, is it?
21:47Look, he can't help being involved, Birdbrain,
21:49he's out of work again.
21:50Look, he's one of the statistics
21:51they read out at the end of the news,
21:53you know, when the spokesman says,
21:54we can't draw any conclusions this month
21:56because it's different.
21:57Has everyone heard my news?
21:58No, you tell us, don't.
21:59We could do with some cheering, huh?
22:00I've won the bingo, 250 pounds.
22:03You lucky devil.
22:04You see, Calvin,
22:05it ain't worth moaning about
22:06the miserable things in life all the time.
22:07Nice things happen too, you know?
22:08Oh, fine.
22:09So what we need now is for everyone on the dole
22:11to win the bingo
22:11and everything will be solved, yeah?
22:13Oh.
22:15Girl, what's up with him?
22:16Here, the reason I come in, Ali...
22:18Out with T-Dot?
22:19No.
22:20You've done a lot of travelling, haven't you?
22:21You know, coming from abroad.
22:22Yeah, I might have done.
22:23Yeah, well, I want your advice
22:25because I'm rather worried about the flying.
22:27Oh, oh, there's Dr Legg.
22:29Here, I want to see him about the water.
22:30Here, have a look at me brochures, Ali.
22:32I'll be back in a minute.
22:34Oh, Dr Legg!
22:37Oh, how lucky I caught you.
22:39Yes, it is, isn't it?
22:40Congratulations, by the way.
22:41Eh?
22:42On the win.
22:43Who told you?
22:44Oh, Lou, Ethel, Mort.
22:46It's overtaking the bank robbery
22:48is the big news of the day.
22:49Well, it is exciting, isn't it?
22:50I'm planning holiday with me winnings.
22:52Good idea.
22:53Yes, it's just a thing for my health, isn't it?
22:55Hey, there's one of two things
22:56I want you to set me mind at rest on, though.
22:59I'll do my best.
23:00Yes, well, the obvious thing, of course,
23:01is the flight.
23:02I mean, you know what my nerves are like.
23:04I mean, I'll even calm myself down
23:06enough to get on the plane,
23:08let alone fly.
23:09Yeah, I can see that could be a problem.
23:10Yeah, and then, of course,
23:11there's the water.
23:12Oh, yeah.
23:13Yeah, I mean, oh, hello, Pete.
23:15But, Kath, you haven't had your big mates for years.
23:18So?
23:19Yeah, well, you don't chuck it all out the window, do you?
23:21I could do what I like.
23:22Me and Den don't go froggin' out all the time.
23:24That's cos you and Den
23:25have got a different idea of being mates.
23:28What's that supposed to mean?
23:29It means you and Den seem to think
23:31that being mates means covering up for each other,
23:33telling lies.
23:34I'm not into that.
23:35Is that what Angie asked you to do?
23:37That's not our business.
23:38She's done something to make you that mad.
23:40Why don't you have it out with her?
23:40Good shirting, mate.
23:41Does that clear the air?
23:43Well, maybe things are going to be sorted out
23:45a bit sooner than she thinks, eh?
23:58I think we should be making a move, aren't you?
24:02Well, I suppose you're right.
24:06Oh, dear, oh, dearie me.
24:08What do we have here, then, eh?
24:10Beryl of the peril meets the Loch Ness Monster.
24:13Look, Den, it's not...
24:13Shut up and speak when you're spoken to me.
24:15Come alone, Den, it's me you've got the needle with.
24:17Who says I've got the needle?
24:18If you must know, I'm glad you found out.
24:20I've had to stomach you having an affair for seven years.
24:22Now you know how it feels.
24:23Oh, don't make me laugh.
24:25Jan and I is a little bit different
24:25than the quick-croke behind the draft.
24:27Guinness.
24:27Oh, by the way, she rang when you were out.
24:29Had her hair, have we?
24:30So I've had her hair with Jan.
24:31I'll go back to her.
24:32She knows that and I know that and you know that.
24:35What you've got to say of yourself, Rob Roy, eh?
24:38I don't like people taking livers behind my back.
24:40This is my house, my booze and my wife.
24:43But not necessarily in that order.
24:46But what are we going to do with you, eh?
24:49Eh?
24:49Den.
24:50Eh?
24:51Den!
24:51Eh?
24:51Den!
24:54Hello?
24:58Yeah, yeah, I'm still here, yeah.
25:01No, no, it's fine, yeah, I can handle it.
25:05No problem.
25:06Yeah, leave it to me.
25:07Bye.
25:09You, on your way.
25:16I want Lofty and Wixley downstairs in the bar now.
25:18Move!
25:25I've never seen so much money before.
25:27You deserve it, Mum.
25:28You can share it with me.
25:29Here, come on holiday with me.
25:31We can go anywhere you like.
25:33Nah, sure, Manny.
25:34Besides, I ain't got time to go flying off to my Yorker just at the moment.
25:37Excuse me.
25:38I did not, but no one heard me.
25:39Do it with a feather, did you?
25:41Oh, funny.
25:42Now, the outside door was open, see?
25:43So I thought I'd better check just in case you had any unwelcome visitors.
25:46Well, we haven't.
25:47Until you arrived.
25:48Oh, funny again.
25:51In the money, I see.
25:52I won it, on the bingo.
25:54I've got witnesses.
25:55I'm sure you have, Mrs. Cotton, yeah.
25:57Anyway, it's your son I've come to talk to, so perhaps you'd like to go and make us a cup
26:01of tea?
26:01Oh, I don't know about that.
26:03Go on, Ma.
26:07What do you want, quick?
26:08I've come to help you.
26:10Don't make me laugh.
26:11Oh, you help me, I'll help you.
26:12Sounds cosy.
26:14I just need you to ask around about this bank job.
26:16No need to ask.
26:17It's in the paper, innit?
26:18Ah, the word is they're still in the area, and I reckon you're likely to hear about it.
26:21Maybe I don't want to know.
26:23Look, all the time you're around here, you are liable to get squashed.
26:26They're queuing up.
26:27So you help me, and I'll keep you out of trouble.
26:29You asking me to be a snout, eh?
26:31So what do you think's going on?
26:32Well, I don't know.
26:33I was just sitting at the cafe having a cup of tea.
26:34You didn't come at hand.
26:35You're in a right state.
26:36Maybe the till's re-hacking.
26:37Yeah, or maybe it's a secret visit from the weights and measures man.
26:40Yeah, or nomination for pub at the year.
26:42Hey, what's up, then?
26:44Less of the stupid questions, that's what's up.
26:45Now, pin your ear holes back and listen.
26:47Lofty, you want it tomorrow for your medical, right?
26:48Yeah, well, you said that'd be all right, then?
26:49Yeah, suits me fine.
26:50In fact, you don't need to come back.
26:51I'll pay you off to the end of the week.
26:52Eh?
26:54I'll tell you when you can come back.
26:55A week, see, you're moving out.
26:56What?
26:57Yeah, I need your room for a few days.
26:59I'm redecorating, all right?
27:00You can kip down at Lofty's.
27:01After all, I ain't paying it for doing nothing.
27:03Well, when do you want me gone by?
27:04Tomorrow.
27:05And Lofty whip over to Raffers
27:07and tell him I've had a word with Fat Harry
27:08and we're shifting the supporters club
27:09due to the Duke of Yorks.
27:10Well, he'd be well disappointed, then.
27:12Tough.
27:12And one last thing.
27:13I don't want either of you two discussing
27:14this pub's business beyond these four walls.
27:16Got it?
27:16Yeah, all right.
27:17OK, we'll shift.
27:18Well, go on, move!
27:23Den.
27:25This is well serious, isn't it?
27:27Yeah.
27:28OK, I'm not going to ask what's going on.
27:31I just want to know if there's anything I can do.
27:33You, my darling, can do the thing you're best at.
27:35Be the hostess with the most.
27:37It's only this time you've got to be deaf, dumb and blind, all right?
27:42We have a very special visitor coming to stay.
