00:06There's something about getting up early on a summer's day, isn't there?
00:09Makes you feel like the whole world's on your side.
00:11Yeah, I'm glad you woke me, Mum. This is nice, isn't it?
00:14You know, me and your Dad used to have whole days like this.
00:18Still, I suppose he still does, doesn't he?
00:20Except he feels guilty. Then it don't mean anything.
00:22Darling, where that woman is concerned, there is no such word as guilt.
00:25I don't think that's true, Mum.
00:27Deep down, he's got the law.
00:28What? Guilt, a heart, a conscience?
00:30Do you really think so?
00:32And what about your old Mum, eh?
00:34Forgiveness. That's your strength.
00:36And my weakness, too.
00:38What about you, my darling? What's with the religious kick, eh?
00:41It's still there, I think. I'm just not sure if it's what I want totally.
00:46Well, you see, Mum, it sustains me, do you know what I mean?
00:48But it don't fulfil me.
00:49I think the hymns are getting to you more than the sermons, though, aren't they?
00:52There's been an awful lot of singing in the bath and a lot of chit-chat about bands.
00:56And you're in the middle of your exams, darling.
00:57I hadn't forgotten.
00:59But today, Mum, I don't know, I've just got this feeling I could be on to something.
01:02You see, Wix and Harry, but...
01:03We're going to start out a band!
01:05God, what's all this? It's a bit early, isn't it?
01:07Get yourself a glass, bring yourself a plate, and if you're very nice, you can join us.
01:11Oh, what fun.
01:12Good to know.
01:14All girls together, eh?
01:16Mum, Dad will see sense one day. I know he will.
01:19Yeah, maybe.
01:21What's all this about a new car, then? What's wrong with the old one?
01:23Flash bird, flash car.
01:25Yeah, and he can't afford it.
01:27He's spending our money on a new car to impress her.
01:30Mum, if you could be like you are right now...
01:34Go on, say it, darling. Sober.
01:37Sober? Will you be on top again?
01:42Sweetie, do you ever wonder what started me drinking in the first place, eh?
01:45No.
01:50On second thought, dear, I think you'd better have your breakfast in bed.
01:55Shell, come down a minute. Will you bring Vicky with you?
01:58This baby, actually.
02:00Hey, Marty.
02:04Look, love, I've got to show you how to do these nappies.
02:06See, with Martin being bigger, I do them with the pins at the side, yeah?
02:09But for newborns, you're better off with this kite fold, like that,
02:12cos then there's less bulk in the middle, see?
02:14Yeah, well, I'm using disposables.
02:16Yeah, but only the couple you've got from the hospital.
02:17I mean, you're going to put her in them in a couple of days, aren't you?
02:19You're joking. I can't be bothered with all that rubbish.
02:21Oh.
02:22Look, she's fed, winded and changed.
02:24Yeah, well, I thought...
02:24She should go for a sleep for a couple of hours now.
02:27She'd let the grandstand use her and mop her back straight after the exam, OK?
02:29Oh, good luck.
02:30See you then.
02:31I can't afford disposables.
02:33Vicky, been playing you up?
02:35No, no, she's as good as gold.
02:36Just up and revising.
02:37Yeah, it's more than the rest of us have done.
02:39Yeah, well, we've got a meeting about the band tonight.
02:40You coming?
02:41You're joking.
02:42Yeah, well, I can't wait.
02:45I've finished about 6.30.
02:46Well, you've got a big crowd coming.
02:48No, just us, look.
02:48I'm going to try a few things out.
02:50Wix thinks it's an audition.
02:51The closing are all rubbish.
02:52You can't have a local band about locals.
02:54Yeah, Harry's going to get hold of the keyboard and do some gear.
02:56It'll make all the difference to the sound.
02:58Keep you in time, anyway.
02:59Oh, don't tell me.
03:00You've got natural rhythm, have you?
03:01You lot have got music coming out your ears.
03:03So?
03:04So it should be exams, shouldn't it?
03:05O-levels, the most important event in your life.
03:07Michelle's not in the band.
03:08In any way, exams aren't the most important thing in her life, either.
03:11No, Vicky is.
03:11And she's Shell.
03:12Yeah, I suppose so.
03:13Well, of course she is.
03:14See?
03:15He says one thing to one person and another thing to another person.
03:18It's a matter of priorities.
03:19Yeah, my priorities, my exams right now.
03:21That's where I'm going.
03:22And we've got a meeting about the band tonight.
03:24That's our priority.
03:28Watch yours, Daddy.
03:30And we've got a meeting about the band tonight.
03:46Ange!
03:49Ange!
03:50All right, here I am, darling.
03:53I could kill a cup of coffee.
03:54You know that girl's in the middle of her exams.
03:56You let her go off this morning without some us as hot drink inside her.
03:58Is that right?
04:00You do it on purpose, don't you?
04:01I can't be in two places at once watching every movie, mate.
04:03There's no need for you to be.
04:05As a matter of fact, we had a very elegant little breakfast.
04:08Orange juice, strawberries, crackers, cream cheese,
04:11and a very nice mother and daughter chat.
04:14Satisfied?
04:15What's eating you anyway?
04:16Not the car again.
04:18I don't know why you don't buy yourself a jogging suit.
04:20A quick early morning run from her place to mine
04:22would set you up for the day, wouldn't it?
04:23Give it a rest.
04:24Oh, you're saving your energy for something else.
04:26The bar downstairs is a mess.
04:27Sorry, Sarge.
04:28So get your backside off that chair and go and get yourself dressed.
04:31No, this is important.
04:33Yes?
04:34Morning.
04:35Morning.
04:36The bar's filthy.
04:37I've got to give it a good clean and my will is in the way.
04:39He's not the only one.
04:42What is this rubbish anyway?
04:45What's a sensible limit?
04:46For women, two or three standard drinks three times a week.
04:49I can try, can't I, Dan?
04:51Yeah, and pigs might fly.
04:55I don't know.
04:56I think she'd rather go without than take anything off me these days.
04:59She'll come round.
05:00Do you know, earlier on, I was trying to explain to her how to fold up nappies.
05:04You?
05:05I've never seen you fold a nappy right yet.
05:07And you've had plenty of practice with free kids to stop.
05:10What do you mean?
05:11Oh, come to think of it, I've never seen you wash a problem.
05:13It's a my way of thinking.
05:15Are you joking?
05:15Those nappies are soaked, sterilised and washed.
05:18No-one's got whiter nappies than my Marty.
05:20Oh, Bob, ma, I'm regular.
05:22Every day.
05:23Not one of you had a pimple.
05:24Let alone a rash.
05:26Oh, well, pardon me for even thinking I might know best.
05:29I mean, shut your mouth, Pauline.
05:31Oh, she'll do things her way.
05:33Mind you, she'll listen to me.
05:35Naturally.
05:36I just have the privilege of clearing up after you all.
05:38That's true.
05:39Yeah, you'd better get a move on.
05:41That elf visitor will be here soon.
05:42No.
05:45Do you have to stand here?
05:46To do my job properly, yes.
05:47There is no order.
05:48The system is you and Dame Nellie Mel were out there to clean up and tidy up,
05:51leaving me and him to bottle up.
05:52Quite right, which is why a captain should never leave a sinking ship.
05:57Who do you think you're looking at?
05:59Oh, it's all right, darling.
06:00The boss got out the wrong side of the bed this morning.
06:02Ignore him.
06:03Just give it a rest, will you?
06:04I'm just making excuses for you, darling.
06:06Good morning.
06:07Oh, that is all I need.
06:10Den's a bit unsociable this morning, isn't he?
06:12Well, not so you'd notice.
06:13And good morning, sweetie.
06:14I've decided that from now on, no one is going to dominate, antagonise or manipulate me.
06:19How interesting.
06:20Tell me more.
06:21I feel a great sense of relief since I gave Roy up.
06:23A great sense of freedom.
06:24Why did you give him up?
06:25Because I can do without being a little woman.
06:27I feel great, I'm sorry.
06:28Well, good for you, babe.
06:30Yeah, and perhaps you should do the same.
06:31I'm serious.
06:32Den's no good for you.
06:33You'd be better off without him.
06:34I see.
06:35How would you know about that?
06:37I'm speaking from experience.
06:38Yeah, all five minutes of you.
06:39Don't know what you're talking about, girl.
06:41I know that I'm happier than you are.
06:43I see.
06:44Old PC plod didn't quite come up to specifications, eh?
06:47You're so pedestrian.
06:48I'm too old.
06:49I think it's a mistake to go for someone older, don't you?
06:51Well, whatever turns you on, in my opinion.
06:53I think it's also a mistake to go for someone younger.
06:55I feel like baby snatching.
06:56Do you indeed?
06:58I just think you should stick to your own age group.
07:00Well, some people are ageless, aren't they, darling?
07:03Mm-hmm, some people quite definitely are not.
07:05Meaning?
07:06Roy, for what?
07:07Oi!
07:08Doesn't anyone want to work round here?
07:09All right, all right.
07:11I've got one or two little errands to do round the square.
07:13When I come back, I want to see this place ship-shaped.
07:16Aye, aye, Captain.
07:17God, he can be so boring, aren't he?
07:19Listen, Debs.
07:20One thing my Dennis definitely is not.
07:22He is not boring.
07:24Got it?
07:25Here, Angie.
07:26Would you say I had charisma?
07:28What, as a barman?
07:29No, as a lead singer.
07:30Your youth shines out, doesn't it, Angie?
07:32Yes, as lead singers go, darling, your youth shines out.
07:36Yeah, you're great.
07:41Oh, hello, Dad.
07:42Oh, come on.
07:43Got anything for anything over, ain't you?
07:44Yeah, we're not open yet.
07:45Oh, I don't want to drink, though.
07:46Oh, deary, deary me, Dad.
07:48Now, what are we going to do?
07:49Let me have a little thing here.
07:50Soda water and bitters, I think.
07:52Like her.
07:52No, no, a raw egg with Worcester sauce.
07:54That's what it is.
07:55Oh, sorry, I asked.
07:56Dreadful atmosphere in the Vic this morning.
07:59Cut it with a knife.
08:00I'm not surprised.
08:01I don't know why I lower my standards going in there.
08:03Well, it's the only pub that's handy.
08:05It's a den of iniquity.
08:07Tangy's not much better.
08:09Ooh.
08:11Here, are you all right?
08:12Yeah, I've just got a bit of headache.
08:14It'll pass.
08:14Well, they don't usually.
08:17Not with you.
08:18You sure you're all right?
08:20Guess so.
08:21Oh.
08:22Oh, you're digging me a star pool.
08:24But we know you.
08:25It's been a good few years.
08:27Is that better?
08:28Oh.
08:29It's what's-her-name.
08:30Of course it is.
08:31So it is.
08:32If you fancy a cup of tea, I'll be in the cafe.
08:34See ya.
08:34Well, I never.
08:35After all these years.
08:37What'd you say her name was?
08:38Well, you know what's her name.
08:40Here, drink up.
08:41Let's go after her.
08:50Then he was.
08:53I was going to come and see you in a bit.
08:55Have you got the morning off?
08:57No, I'm just doing a bit of unfinished business, that's all.
08:59Er, er, sheen, Pete.
09:01Save him, Pete.
09:02Till later.
09:03Have a coffee with me.
09:04No, look, I can't stop.
09:05Look, all right, I've got to go with a cafe.
09:07Come on, look.
09:08I didn't realise you'd be dealing with Vicky and Michelle as well.
09:10I thought she'd have a different health visitor.
09:12We have our patch, just like Vickers and doctors.
09:14Oh, I'm glad to hear it.
09:15Perhaps she'll listen to you.
09:17She doesn't take any notice of me, but if I can say that it's coming from you, I mean,
09:21it might make a difference.
09:22I'm afraid not, Pauline.
09:24You see, just like Vickers and doctors, we've got to build a good relationship with the mum.
09:28There's got to be trust and confidentiality.
09:31Are you with me?
09:31Yes, but she is my daughter.
09:33We know that.
09:34But how can I put it?
09:37I don't go and tell your mother what we've been discussing.
09:41Yes, but that's different.
09:42She's an old woman.
09:43I mean, I've got a baby not much older than Vicky.
09:46And he's a real credit to you.
09:47He's gorgeous.
09:48Well, there you are, then.
09:49Let me explain.
09:52Oh, I'm sorry I'm late.
09:55I've had an exam.
09:56That's right.
09:56How does it feel to be back in the swim?
09:58All right, I suppose.
09:59This is lofty.
10:01Hello.
10:01I'd like to stop for a bit, if that's all right, you know, see how Vicky's getting on.
10:05Well, I'd like him to.
10:07Well, just for a few minutes.
10:09Then I want to have a chat with you and your mum.
10:12Okay.
10:12Let's be having her, then.
10:15Oh, isn't she beautiful?
10:18Victoria.
10:19That's a lovely name.
10:20Vicky.
10:21Vicky Louise.
10:22Just a coffee, then, eh?
10:23Don't mind, Denny.
10:24Two coffees, is it?
10:26Yeah.
10:26And don't use boiling water.
10:27I've got to get back.
10:28By the way, there's a hell of a lot wrong with that cart for the price.
10:32You pay up the class, mate.
10:33Before you say another word, there's a last checklist on the MOT, all right?
10:35Clean as a whistle.
10:36Right.
10:36I use the same garage as you, then.
10:38Ah, they went bust a month ago.
10:39Shame about that, eh?
10:40Yeah.
10:40Story of my life.
10:42Well, what brings you to these parts, then, Pat?
10:44My son's living in your pub, remember?
10:46Yeah.
10:47Well, it's great to see you looking well.
10:49Overweight, you mean?
10:50Suiture.
10:51Whatever.
10:53Wixie's been telling me a few tales.
10:55Albert Square's taking off, according to him.
10:57Fairy tales.
10:58The place hasn't changed.
11:00Pub lunches, drag nights, ladies' darts.
11:02All very strange.
11:04Well, you've got to move with the times.
11:06Remember the old times, Denny?
11:08Now they go.
11:09Me and Pete.
11:10You and Ange.
11:11Yeah.
11:12You and me on the odd occasion?
11:14We were kids.
11:15You and Ange are still together.
11:17Yeah.
11:18Here.
11:18Here.
11:19He took us a minute or two, and then I have this renovation.
11:25It's pat, isn't it?
11:27Pat Field that was.
11:28That's right, Ethel.
11:29Oh, we want to hear your news.
11:32I want to hear yours, darling.
11:33Can I get us a cup of tea, Ethel?
11:35Oh.
11:36I've got to get back.
11:36I won't say I've seen you.
11:37I'll keep your visitor surprised, all right?
11:40Ali, give the ladies teas on me, all right?
11:42I'll let this lot stay and dish the dirt.
11:44I need the dirt where I find it, in the gutter.
11:48She's perfect.
11:49You're doing well.
11:50Good.
11:50Do you want to take her upstairs, Lofty?
11:51Yeah, I'll stop up there with her for a bit, eh?
11:54She'll be all right on her own.
11:55There's no need to spoil her.
11:58Well, I suppose you want me out of the way and all.
12:01I think it's best we all talk today.
12:02Most other times we'll talk one to one.
12:04Oh, right, whatever you think.
12:05Okay, then.
12:06Now, Michelle, I've been assigned to you and your baby until her fifth birthday.
12:10That sounds awful, doesn't it?
12:12Don't worry, I'll just be popping in once every two weeks and every three weeks.
12:15Just a case of visiting to see everything's running smoothly.
12:18Right.
12:19And, of course, you can come and see me any time you want to.
12:22Right.
12:22Just a few basics so that I'm properly in the picture.
12:25Have you claimed your maternity grant yet?
12:27My educational welfare office is sorting all that out.
12:30But if you're short of anything, the local council has a store of baby items,
12:33all donated, that they'll give to you.
12:35Oh, flaming charity.
12:37Oh, I'm not proud.
12:38If there's a guy I'm begging, I'll have it.
12:39Well, I'll go make another cup of tea, yeah.
12:45Has anyone spoken to you about contraception?
12:48There was a family planning nurse at the hospital.
12:51I talked to her about it.
12:53How's the breastfeeding going?
12:55She's a greedy baby.
12:57It's very tiring, isn't it?
12:59You get tired after the birth, then she has to cheat to make you more tired.
13:03You'll settle, she'll settle.
13:05Now's the time to rest as much as possible.
13:08One nice thing, though, this is the one time you can eat as many calories as you like.
13:12You're joking.
13:13Bread and butter, pudding, spoil yourself.
13:15But what about her figure?
13:17Whilst Michelle's breastfeeding, she'll need it.
13:19OK.
13:21Hello, Kat.
13:22You all right?
13:23Oh, thanks very much, darling.
13:24Do you want half?
13:25Oh, yeah, lovely.
13:27What's the end up today, then, eh?
13:29It's his last one.
13:30Yeah, maths this morning.
13:31He's just on the stork mode.
13:32Pigs have to lie down.
13:33Yeah, he looked awful, didn't he?
13:35Feeling sorry for himself, didn't he?
13:37Better teach him.
13:38He thinks now I'm not working, Arthur's got to entertain me.
13:40Yeah, entertain himself, more like.
13:42Mulletland's got history coming up, though you'd never know it.
13:44It's band talk all day, all night.
13:47Kids, don't give it to monkeys, don't they?
13:49Listen, Kat, it'd be nice if you'd come back and work to you.
13:52I don't know if I miss not having you around.
13:54Oh, you know my feelings, Angel.
13:55I'd give anything to be working again.
13:57This is a place of work.
13:59Well, it's funny you keep popping out, then, innit?
14:01I had to take the car papers to Ali.
14:02And what's all this?
14:04Oh, dear, oh, dearie me.
14:06It's your life, a guide to survival and a drinking culture.
14:09You want to listen to some of this, it might strike a cold somewhere.
14:13There is another category of husband who treats his wife as he would his automobile.
14:17Ring any bells, darling?
14:18Ding, ding.
14:19He expects daily reliable service from her, usually including her work as a household slave,
14:24childminder, cook and sexual object.
14:27Give it a rest.
14:28Oh, there's more.
14:29When she breaks down, i.e. starts drinking, he will bring her in for repairs.
14:34In certain cases, after repeated breakdowns, and when the husband can afford it, he will
14:39trade in the used car, ergo his wife, for a new model.
14:43Listening, are you, Mosh?
14:44I can't hear you.
14:45You want to read some of this, you know?
14:47At least somebody's talking my language for a change.
14:52Oi, Miss Barbie doll, 1986, out, you're fired.
14:57What?
14:57Come on, Angie, please.
14:58You heard me.
14:59Angie, let's talk reasonably about this.
15:01Uh, Kath, did I hear you saying something about wanting your old job back?
15:04Darling, you've got it.
15:05What?
15:06This one's for medicinal purposes, only.
15:09Do us a favour, darling, watch the gaff for us.
15:11I can do it with a breather.
15:17Well, that was very clever.
15:19Explain, you see.
15:20I don't think that's necessary.
15:21Hang about, you think I've got you the sack, is that it?
15:23Oh, don't play, be innocent with me.
15:25Well, if you think I'll stoop so low, darling, all I can say is you're an openest judge of
15:28character, but come in here to deliver a box of eggs, that's all.
15:30Oh, come on.
15:31We were having a chat, for God's sake, Angie's my best mate.
15:34Yes, and some people know how to use friends.
15:36Oh, talking about yourself, are we?
15:38Come on, Dave, let me see if you say it's your piece.
15:40I'm feeding Aziz a little bit.
15:41Yeah?
15:42I was really hurting through the exam.
15:44I thought I was going to explode.
15:45Did you talk to the elf visitor about it?
15:47I said she was greedy.
15:49Well, I can't blame Vicky.
15:50It's not her fault.
15:51No, it'd get easier, wouldn't it?
15:53It could have been worse.
15:54Imagine if you'd had twins.
15:55I reckon I've got enough of twins.
15:57Hey, look, I've got a present for you, shall I?
16:00What if you shouldn't have?
16:01Well, it's more for Vicky, really.
16:02Look, sit down for a minute.
16:21It's fantastic, isn't it?
16:23It's womb music.
16:25It's the actual recording of the sounds that a baby is before it's born.
16:28But it's supposed to make them feel sort of secure and content and that.
16:31It's brilliant.
16:32Where'd you get it from?
16:33Well, I read about it in, um...
16:35I can't remember what...
16:35But in God's name is that dreadful noise.
16:38It's womb music.
16:45Bit pricey, isn't it?
16:46Hardly.
16:47Yes, love.
16:47For a dump like Walford.
16:49You ask anyone, love.
16:50Our prices are very fair.
16:51Just like your dad, aren't you?
16:53Honest Pete.
16:55The cheeky chappies little boy, aren't you, love?
16:57Oh, hang on, love.
16:58My mum told me never to talk to strange women.
17:01Well, there's an old piano down the community centre.
17:03Oh, what?
17:04The old one-finger melody routine?
17:05No, and Ian's going to bring his jump kit along as well.
17:07You're like I'll fetch Dammy Portman on a few cassettes.
17:09Yeah, great idea.
17:10Listen a bit.
17:11Talk it over.
17:12And if it's a number we know, we can slot him what's on offer.
17:14Like me, for example.
17:15Like you, for example.
17:16She'll be upstairs revising.
17:17All right, 6.30 then.
17:19Yeah, 6.30 sharp, Sharon, all right?
17:21Have a guess who's visiting.
17:22Oh, my God, not another villain.
17:24Don't be stupid.
17:25That's back.
17:27Wix's mum.
17:28You told him.
17:29Why would I want to spoil the surprise?
17:31We're working class, so we need a band that reflects our thinking.
17:33What we need is a band that knows what it's doing.
17:37I say we mess around with few ideas for a while.
17:39Yeah, right, but we've got rain for the top, all right?
17:41I mean, Kelvin's notion that the music should demonstrate the decay in our capitalist society
17:45is absolutely spot on.
17:47Yeah, it's like a duty.
17:48And your inner violence and frustration of coming from a deprived area like this
17:51is bound to give the music that edge-winning.
17:53Oh, it's very noble of you, very noble.
17:55Well, you're all right, too, Wixie.
17:56We need the commercial road in more ways than one
17:58to get us to the city and the bright lights.
18:00We do it your way, Kelvin.
18:02We're stuck in church halls for life.
18:03We may as well be gagged.
18:05It's a bit of glitter, OK, Kelvin?
18:07Silent.
18:11I'll ignore the friendly welcome.
18:13I've come to see you, sweetheart.
18:15I'm working.
18:16Later on, I'll want to see your dad and that alley cat you married.
18:19Don't start, Mum, all right?
18:20I want you to arrange it for me.
18:22I won't disturb anyone during working hours.
18:25Consideration is one of my best qualities.
18:26Fetch him here for six.
18:27I can't, Mum.
18:28Do it!
18:29That's all you need, isn't it, darling, eh?
18:32Me cuddling you and holding you tight, hmm?
18:35Don't think for one moment I'd ever desert you,
18:38because I wouldn't, eh?
18:40The others.
18:42They all think they can do without me, don't they, hmm?
18:45They think they know it all.
18:47But we know best, don't we, hmm?
18:50Just you and me, eh, precious?
18:53Right, son, where is it?
18:54Where's my big surprise?
18:57Oh, that wasn't very bright, was it?
18:59Sorry, Kath.
19:00It's not my fault, Kath.
19:01It's the way she wanted it.
19:02She can't do nothing to us.
19:03She's have a damn good try.
19:05Why don't you go home, Kath?
19:06You're joking, aren't you?
19:07There's nothing like a good way to clear the air.
19:09It got me and me job back, remember?
19:10This could be our lucky day.
19:11If she's in charge of it, it won't be.
19:13Hey, hello, my darling.
19:14Hello, Pat.
19:16Kathy, I've never recognised you.
19:18Very stylish.
19:20Very.
19:20I'll just have a coat, Pete.
19:22Oh, no, you will not.
19:23It's my round, and I'm not taking no for an answer.
19:26And just give them the usuals.
19:28Don't hands look great?
19:28Oh, what's with you and the compliments?
19:30What are you doing turning up after all these years?
19:33Just not to pass the time of day, I know.
19:35I fancied a day trip.
19:37Call it nostalgia, if you like.
19:38I've got a lot of friends around here.
19:40Yeah, and a son.
19:41That's right.
19:42I wanted to see how my boy was doing.
19:45Come and give your old mum a kiss, Simon.
19:47Don't leave off, my mate.
19:48And he's told me such tales.
19:51Dad this, dad that.
19:53Did you see Kath's kitchen?
19:55Did you see us all in the pub on drag night?
19:57I couldn't resist it, could I?
19:58Well, now, you've seen it all, haven't you?
20:00Come on, let's go, Kath.
20:01Well, you can't leave now.
20:03These are on the air, darling.
20:04For old times' sake.
20:06What are you doing with Don Wilson?
20:07Oh, no, that's poncy music.
20:08Nixie was suggesting Kate Bush.
20:09All right, then, pull all our cuts.
20:10Hang her back.
20:11It doesn't matter what we're doing while we're getting things together.
20:13Yes, it does.
20:14Our political stance is the most important thing of all.
20:16I agree.
20:17That's why we're all together, surely.
20:18I mean, that's why we feel right.
20:21Isn't it, Harry?
20:21Sorry?
20:23Being here with people like you who know from bitter experience
20:26that Thatcher's thinking doesn't extend much beyond Tower Bridge.
20:31Sorry.
20:32Oh, cheer up.
20:33If we strike up postures, we're going to sound patronising.
20:36And if you don't, we're on to a non-starter.
20:38I'm not proud.
20:39Well, there's true professionalism for you.
20:40Pays to be tough on this business, right, Harry?
20:42Oh, you're wonderful.
20:43But where we stand is still important.
20:45No, it isn't.
20:46Not now.
20:47Look, Harry's right.
20:49Look, Kelv, if we want to put Ken Livingston into our first video,
20:51will you shut up about quality?
20:52Yeah, all right, all right.
20:54Stop wasting time.
20:55Excuse me.
20:56Can we stop all his life?
20:56We're getting dead bald here.
20:59Okay, sir.
20:59So put Tears for Fears on.
21:02Ian, pick up the beat as best you can.
21:03Then Kelvin, start singing.
21:05Oh, no.
21:05I feel like a Wally.
21:06Okay, char and sing with him.
21:08It doesn't matter if we sound terrible to begin with.
21:10We'll just get ideas.
21:11I don't think we can't happen.
21:14Come on.
21:16Yeah, yeah.
21:19All right, all right.
21:20Keep on.
21:24Right, Kelvin on your own.
21:28All right, go.
21:29All right, Sharon.
21:41All set in for the night, is she?
21:43Yeah, I think she's gone off.
21:45She's shorter with all them burps and ramblings.
21:47What did you call that noise?
21:49Feeding all right, is she?
21:51Yeah.
21:52You know, you must feel awful.
21:54Do you know, I was so sore, especially with all the twins.
21:58Yeah, I've forgotten about that.
22:01Gran, does it get better?
22:02Oh, don't ask your gran.
22:03It's all different these days.
22:05Yeah, you do talk nonsense, Paul, ain't you?
22:08If you want any tips up, you just ask me.
22:12You must be sorting it away if you're going to fall to Bell Simon out of this spot of bother.
22:16You're joking, ain't you?
22:17That was supposed to be from our car.
22:19Nick, Nick, Kath.
22:20Your car?
22:21Your car, eh?
22:22What's your secret, love?
22:24You were going to buy me a car, weren't you, Pete?
22:27We get married, then he'd buy me a house, a car, holidays abroad, fancy clothes.
22:31What did I end up with?
22:33Two boys to bring up and not a penny to me name.
22:35Oh, you what?
22:35Just listen to her.
22:37Just listen.
22:38Now, listen.
22:39Kath's been out on that stall, all weathers.
22:41She's had to help to pay maintenance for them boys.
22:43Not a penny indeed.
22:44You bled me dry, Pat.
22:45And you had an husband.
22:46What do you expect me and her to do?
22:48Subtidise your marriage?
22:49Then how come I'm always the one that's seen off?
22:52You can't deny I don't get a penny off of you.
22:54Why should you?
22:55The boys are both earning.
22:56Simon's not even living with you now.
22:58Because I'm entitled.
22:59Because you took the best years of me life and then you dropped me.
23:05Hey, Wixie.
23:07They got chapped up to the community centre.
23:09They've adjourned to my place.
23:11Oh, thanks a lot, Tom.
23:18Oh, thanks a lot.
23:29Oh, yeah.
23:29Oh, yeah.
23:29Yousle outside.
23:30And without Billy Ocean and his session musicians, I want to put money on Yousle.
23:33Yeah, well, it's a start, innit?
23:34It was breaking me up to even open my mouth and sing before.
23:36No, we're not kidding ourselves, Wixie.
23:38Take away the music.
23:39We sound like Earl Guide on a wet Tuesday.
23:41Yeah, well, Yousle play what, anyway?
23:42Or are we having just drums?
23:44It seems to me we're going to be Wolford's answer to the Nolans.
23:47I don't fancy standing in a line-up with Yousle wiggling me bum and singing my lady.
23:50Oh, look, come on, Wixie.
23:50We've all had to go.
23:51Yeah, now it's your turn.
23:53Oh, yeah, but you've already got over your nerves, innit?
23:55I don't think I'll have a bother.
23:56Oh, look, don't be stupid, Wixie.
23:57You may know when it's had any experience.
23:59Now, who would you want to sing along with?
24:00I'm not on form, Sharon, all right?
24:02Oh, come on.
24:04Go on.
24:05All right, then, have you got that, um, that Bronsicabit number?
24:07Yeah, I'll help you look for it, OK?
24:08Sharon?
24:12You should have heard Sharon sing, Wixie.
24:14A couple of lessons, I could arrange that, maybe.
24:16She could be on to big things.
24:19Come on, sing.
24:24You think I'm a soft touch, don't you?
24:26Well, a lot of people have thought that.
24:28But I'll tell you, Pat, if I love them and respect them,
24:30they can have my last damn fiver.
24:32If I don't love them, respect them, they don't stand a chance.
24:34And you, you gollop, you can suit yourself where you fit in,
24:37but you get nothing.
24:38We'll see.
24:39We'll see.
24:39We'll see nothing.
24:41You can't hurt me in a...
24:42We've had it all round here, mate.
24:43Blackmail, fold, ripping off.
24:45We've seen it all.
24:46Now, I want you, you bitch, out of this square once and for all.
24:48And no repeat performances.
24:49Understand?
24:50Repeat performance.
24:52I haven't even started yet.
24:55Here.
24:56I think Den can cope on his own for a while.
24:58Do you fancy coming upstairs for a chinwag?
25:00Girl talk.
25:01There's nothing I'd like better, doll.
25:18Everything all right, lovey?
25:19Go away, mum.
25:35You sure you don't want to go in the lounge, darling?
25:38There's nothing like the kitchen for slagging off men.
25:41Oh, you can say that again.
25:42This kitchen's seen more dirt flying than me cooking hot dinners.
25:45It's still the same old handshake.
25:46Well, we don't change, do we, babe?
25:48Oh, you don't.
25:50Me, I've only got a look at Chip and I put on a couple of pounds.
25:54Have a sound.
25:56Well, it's different for me, isn't it?
25:58I mean, in my position, I'm the landlady.
26:00It's expected.
26:02You're not drinking?
26:03No, I can take it or leave it.
26:04Here, tell me what it was, Pete.
26:08Tell me what it was, Pete, said again.
26:10I thought the whole world heard him.
26:12All me life, every flaming man I made has been wrong to the core.
26:15Yeah, you've seen a few and all, haven't you?
26:18I could tell you some stories.
26:19May your hair be cold.
26:20Oh, God, it's curly enough as it is.
26:23Come on, let's have you.
26:24Between you and me, I have had a few little adventures.
26:29Oh, you did.
26:30You get bored, don't you?
26:32You're too right, you do.
26:33Serves them right.
26:34Mindy don't like it, me old man.
26:37Well, listen, here.
26:38Come here.
26:39You've got to be discreet and chiant.
26:42Discreet, never.
26:44It's worth a black eye just to tell him he's passed it and I've still got what it takes.
26:50Whoa, go for it.
26:51I tell you what, I'm going to join you here.
26:53Come on, have a good one.
26:55Here we go.
26:56Why don't you stay over?
26:58You can stay the night here.
26:59I haven't enjoyed myself so much in years.
27:01Cheers, darling.
27:02It's great to see you.
27:04Oh, I think I'll have a sandwich.
27:06Yeah, I'll pick a card, any card.
27:08Oh, God, 500 calories.
27:10Oh, what's going on up there, Den?
27:13You're well out of it.
27:14Two men in the mood they're in are a pack of trouble.
27:16Don't ever be fooled by laughter.
27:18You used to know her, didn't you?
27:19Same time as me dad.
27:20Yeah, we knocked around together.
27:22What was she like?
27:23Yeah, what was she like?
27:24Good-looking lady, really fanciful.
27:26Yeah?
27:27Yes, son.
27:27No.
27:27No.
27:28No, no, no, no, no.
