00:03Debs?
00:05Debs?
00:06What's going on?
00:07Shhh!
00:08Name is still asleep.
00:09I've been removing all signs of cohabitation for the DHSS.
00:13Oh.
00:13It's today.
00:14Have you forgotten?
00:14Oh, yeah, yeah.
00:15What time?
00:16Any time this afternoon.
00:17Now, this one'll be yours.
00:18Right.
00:18Damn!
00:19What is it?
00:20I'm meant to borrow Primus from Tony.
00:22A Primus?
00:23Yeah.
00:23We're supposed to have separate cooking facilities.
00:25Debs, I am a nurse, not a boy skirt, remember?
00:27Look, I'll have to borrow a kettle.
00:29I'll be back this afternoon.
00:30Right, well, I'll be here to support you.
00:32No, I don't think that's a good idea.
00:33No arguments.
00:34I don't want some sneaky, dirty old man from the SS cross-questioning you all on your own.
00:38Andy, you're not supposed to feel protective.
00:40Only people who cohabit are allowed to feel protective.
00:42Now, you've got to be sulky and unhelpful.
00:44Sulky and unhelpful.
00:45Right, I'll practice.
00:46Morning.
00:47Morning.
00:47Oh, I hope we didn't disturb you.
00:49No, it's all right.
00:49I've got to be in early anyway.
00:50I'm taking delivery of the hardware today.
00:52All right, well, I'll come with you.
00:53All right.
00:53Can you put those in the airing cupboard and sleep well?
00:56Sleep well.
00:56See ya.
00:57Bye.
00:59Do you want a hand?
01:00Well, mine.
01:02I thought this was Den's car.
01:04Yeah, I wish it still was.
01:06Yeah, do you want any now?
01:07Cool, wouldn't mind.
01:07Got a flying car, aren't we?
01:09Car, thanks a lot.
01:16I made you a little blighter.
01:17Arthur, your breakfast.
01:19Hunter's instinct, Paulie.
01:20He could settle on one of the kiddies.
01:22Look, for all the good you're doing, you might as well put the jam jar over Martin.
01:27Got it.
01:28First one this year.
01:31Morning.
01:32Hi, Lofty.
01:33Morning.
01:35Morning, Arthur.
01:36Yeah.
01:37Is Michelle in her room?
01:39Yeah, she didn't want any breakfast.
01:40Well, I'll just pop up for a minute, if that's all right.
01:42Right.
01:43In and out, in and out.
01:44I'd like to take that and stick it up his trousers.
01:46Oh, Arthur, please.
01:48Get on with your breakfast.
01:48No, I've got things to do.
01:50I'll see you later.
01:51Ta-ra.
01:52Yeah, but what about this?
01:53Look, what's up with them two?
01:55I don't know.
01:56Michelle don't want no breakfast.
01:58We know that.
01:59Lofty, can you give us a hand with that lot, please?
02:01I've got to go.
02:01Yeah.
02:02Come on.
02:03Why me?
02:04You want to get disposables like Michelle.
02:06Lofty, disposables cost a bomb, and I'm not getting a single parent still at school, Grant.
02:10Now, what's that?
02:12Oh, it's Arthur's.
02:12He's taken up beekeeping.
02:14That's a wasp.
02:16I know.
02:16I'm having you on, Lofty.
02:18Come on, let's go.
02:19Yeah, what do I do about it?
02:20House train it.
02:21So, what have you been up to, then?
02:24This and that.
02:25I've been turning out, doing my two things around the house, and I've promised to whitewash the
02:28loos in a community centre, just as a gesture.
02:30You know what I mean?
02:31You're a good bloke.
02:32You know that.
02:32But I've still got me nightshreeze, so don't forget to tell Ali if you want someone in the
02:35office.
02:36Yeah, well, I wouldn't mention it today.
02:38Had trouble with the car.
02:39He's in a foul mood.
02:40Listen, Arthur, you wouldn't keep an eye out here for me, would you?
02:43Yeah, I've got to nip home and get a few pies.
02:46That's all right.
02:46And I'll get a few minutes.
02:47Okay, love.
02:47I'll catch you.
02:48All right, Arthur.
02:49Arthur, sir, yeah.
02:50Oh, um, could I have a cup of tea, please, Arthur?
03:06Uh, I'll leave it till later.
03:09Go on, it'll do you good.
03:11I've told you, Mum, I've already had my breakfast.
03:13All right.
03:14I need to be stroppy.
03:15Look, I don't understand why you're still here.
03:17I'm here because Ange asked me to stay.
03:19Yeah, well, you know it's going to drive Dad mad.
03:21Yeah?
03:22What'll it do to you?
03:24You're my mum.
03:25I'm worried about you.
03:27But this place is another part of my life.
03:29It ain't nothing to do with you.
03:31Very handy.
03:32All in neat little compartments.
03:33No, it's not like that.
03:34Pull the other one.
03:36How many times have you been to see me since you left home?
03:39You never even remembered me birthday.
03:40Yeah, and when I was in that mess with the money, you told me what you felt, right?
03:43I was upset about the money.
03:45You helped yourself to my money, Simon.
03:47I had no choice, did I?
03:49All right.
03:51Let's forgive and forget.
03:53I missed you.
03:55I still love you.
03:56You've been kicked out?
03:58Not yet.
03:59Not been knocking you about, I hope.
04:01Just say you still love your mum, Simon.
04:03Look, what's happened?
04:03Simon.
04:04It must be something, mustn't it?
04:05You must be here for a reason.
04:06You can't get the words past your lips, can you?
04:08Look, all my life with you, mum, it's been kisses and cuddles one minute,
04:11the next you're clicking around the ear hole.
04:12Well, I'm not your little baby Simon anymore, all right?
04:15Now you found yourself a new meal ticket.
04:16Now I'm paying for me own, ain't I?
04:19If that's the way you want it.
04:21Yeah, well, there's nothing I can say, is there?
04:24Take, take, take.
04:27Morning.
04:28What's going on here, then?
04:29We're going to get your mum sorted out, Simon.
04:31I bet you were surprised to see her, weren't you?
04:33Yeah, look, I finished the bottle up, Angie.
04:36Is it all right to pop out for a little while, eh?
04:37Of course it is, sweetheart, yeah.
04:39Yeah.
04:41You all right, darling?
04:43Oh, thanks to your life, help.
04:45Take care.
04:48No, it's just, don't hassle me, get off me back.
04:51All they know about is take, take, take.
04:55Come on, darling.
04:56You have a good old cry.
04:58Oh, sorry.
04:59It's all right, darling.
05:01There.
05:16Come on.
05:17Come on.
05:17Watch it.
05:18Come on.
05:21Right.
05:22Right hand down.
05:24Oh, go ahead, darling.
05:25Don't put it.
05:28Don't put it.
05:28Don't put it.
05:29Don't put it.
05:29Three.
05:29No.
05:30You got three?
05:31No.
05:32Yeah.
05:33I'll bring him in.
05:33Don't put it.
05:35Don't put it.
05:39Yeah, I'm glad you come and told me something.
05:42Is there anything I can do, Dad?
05:43Don't know why she's still there, do you?
05:48Yeah.
05:49Yeah.
05:49Yeah.
05:49Cucumber, love.
05:50What saying do you play, Matt?
05:52Still talking, are we?
05:54Thirty-pence, love.
05:56Pat ain't got nothing on you, has she?
05:58Oh, Kat, give us a break.
05:59We've been through it till the early hours of this morning.
06:01It's happened 20 years ago.
06:03It's history.
06:03Maybe she thinks it was her wedding anniversary or something.
06:06Or she wants some pocket money.
06:08Or you still working on theory that I married you on the rebound.
06:10I just don't like it, that's all.
06:13Do you want some more too, babe?
06:15I don't believe it.
06:16Hello, Den.
06:17What are you doing here?
06:17I said she could stay.
06:18Well, I thought you got the message that you weren't welcome.
06:20Lay off, will you?
06:22Don't worry about me.
06:22I'm used to worse.
06:24He always was a rude beggar, even as a lad.
06:26Pretty, but rude with it.
06:28Anyway, if you didn't like it, you should have been here last night,
06:30and you weren't, were you?
06:31Well, just let me know it's convenient for you to leave,
06:32and I'd be delighted to run you to the station.
06:34By the way, the garage rang.
06:36They can't deliver.
06:37Oh, it's great, that is.
06:38Want a cup of tea?
06:39I'd rather drink rat poison.
06:42That wasn't very nice, was it?
06:44No, well, he's not a very nice person, is he?
06:46They don't knock you about, and you've got a lovely home,
06:49so I suppose you've got to count your blessings.
06:51I do, darling, I do.
06:53Still a good looker.
06:55He always was a goer, you old Den.
06:57It's down to you, Ange, you're still together.
06:59If you think we're together, darling, you're no judge of distance.
07:04Where's your socket?
07:06What socket?
07:07Well, you don't need a socket for electricity.
07:09Where's your socket?
07:10Just finished this evening after.
07:12What's that?
07:13Hi.
07:14Hi.
07:15Sue wants some sweets.
07:16Soft and gooey as they come.
07:17Right.
07:19What's all this?
07:20Oh, we've been locked through over the weekend.
07:22Doubled in size overnight.
07:24Ah.
07:24So what's with all this machinery you haven't delivered?
07:26Coffee machine.
07:27Coffee machine?
07:28Are you serving coffee here?
07:30Yeah.
07:30I'm sure it'll go well.
07:31Self-service.
07:32What other hot food are you thinking of going into?
07:34Just a bit of takeaway stuff.
07:36What are you trying to do?
07:36Put me out of business?
07:37Just a few snacks.
07:39Convenience foods.
07:40Yeah.
07:40Well, with friends like you and Den, who needs enemies, eh?
07:43Hey, any news on the night drop?
07:45No, not now, Arthur, please.
07:47Loveday.
07:48Mm-hmm.
07:48What's up between you and Arthur?
07:50All this rushing out the room every time you appear.
07:53You've got something to upset him.
07:54Well...
07:54Well, what?
07:55Well, it's quite a well-known fact that fathers can get very jealous about their daughters'
08:00future husbands.
08:01Sort of a power struggle.
08:03It's quite primitive, really.
08:04Like...
08:04Like balls.
08:06Balls?
08:07Yeah.
08:09Balls?
08:09You and Arthur?
08:11Well, yeah.
08:11Little balls.
08:14Look, Paul, I've got to be getting that to the pub.
08:16Dent in a really evil mood.
08:17Well, that's no news.
08:18What's up with him?
08:19Well, his new car's not ready, eh?
08:20He's got Pat staying with him and on.
08:22Pat who?
08:23Well, Wixie's mum.
08:24Pat?
08:25Yeah, that's what I just said.
08:27Why's she staying at the Vic?
08:28I dunno.
08:29Oh, but it wasn't Dennis' idea.
08:31No, I don't think Simon's very happy about it, either.
08:33No, I bet he isn't.
08:35Well, it is his own mum.
08:36Well, I'll tell you one thing, Loveday.
08:38If you and Arthur are balls, that one's a cow.
08:40You mark my words.
08:42Hi, Joan.
08:43Oh, hi, Arthur.
08:44They look nice.
08:45Should get a good price for them.
08:46Yeah, my son would call me a corrupt capitalist speculator.
08:49But who cares?
08:50I've worked.
08:51That's a great feeling.
08:53You want to put an ad in the local paper?
08:55Cut out the middle man?
08:56Yeah, I'd have to deal with Hannah first.
09:00She's got her eye on the middle flat.
09:02I thought you and she were better together again.
09:05So did I.
09:06Oh, I still owe you.
09:08Oh, Tara.
09:09Thanks.
09:10Well, let us know if there's anything else in here.
09:12Yeah, sure, ma'am.
09:13I've still got some stuff to do in the kitchen.
09:15Good.
09:15Ta-ra.
09:19You look just the same.
09:21Same old Pauline.
09:23I wanted to come and see you.
09:24Well, I could not see you, my Pete's sister.
09:26It's not your Pete.
09:28I wanted to come to the house to see the babies.
09:30I felt a bit shy, though.
09:32Yeah, it was just as well you didn't.
09:33You wouldn't have got a warm welcome from Mum.
09:35When does she ever give me a warm welcome?
09:37Not getting a very warm one from you, neither.
09:39I don't know why it's better different.
09:40Yeah, well, I've got work to do.
09:41I haven't got time to stand here and talk to you.
09:43Oh, well, sorry to hear about Mark.
09:46And then all the problems with Michelle.
09:48You've had a lot to put up with, Pauline.
09:50On top of that, you're the one that's lumbered with the old rattlesnake.
09:53I think you'd better go before I lose my temper.
09:56Well, it's true.
09:56Luke would be evil.
09:58Always managed to make me feel like something the cat brought in.
10:00Me and Pete never stood a chance with her looming in the background.
10:04You could be just as bad.
10:05Is that why you come here to say all this?
10:07Yeah, it could be.
10:09Maybe it's been building up in me over the years.
10:12Remembering them insults.
10:13Well, I could see it in your eyes all the time.
10:16Poor Pete married to that bit of rough.
10:19Poor Pete having to put up with her tongue.
10:22Poor Pete making a fool of himself with a woman not good enough to lick his boots.
10:26Well, let me tell you.
10:27Poor Pete was boring, selfish and terrible in bed.
10:31And if I'd had a twin brother who was doing very nicely, thank you very much,
10:34who stood by while I was scrubbing about trying to make ends meet, I'd have spit in his face.
10:37Oh, shut up!
10:39Enjoy that, did ya?
10:41Here, Kath, look.
10:43Not a drop of gin in that.
10:44I thought you were supposed to be me mate.
10:46Oh, Duff, I am.
10:47What's the matter?
10:48First of all, I have to take an earful from Depp's.
10:51And now you're offering her a note to Pat.
10:53I mean, what's she been telling you then?
10:54What do you think?
10:55Hard luck stories.
10:56Well, I don't trust her.
10:58Oh, I feel sorry for her poor care, everybody bawling her out.
11:01She's second-hand goods, Kath.
11:03And she used to be so pretty too.
11:06I envied her.
11:07Imagine that.
11:08I envied Pat.
11:10She's got you twisted round her little finger, hasn't she?
11:12No, she ain't.
11:14To be honest, it's just a long time since I haven't felt like the only lame dog round here.
11:18I just want to help her out, that's all.
11:22Well, what's she wanting?
11:24Look, Kath, we've been mates a long time, haven't we?
11:26And you've always stood by me.
11:28I promise you I wouldn't do anything to hurt you, girl.
11:31She just wants to have a little chat with Pete on their arm.
11:34Will you tell him?
11:37All right.
11:39Thanks.
11:40Oh, by the way, is there any way around here I can get some lunch?
11:43Well, I'll try the place across the road.
11:45I know it doesn't look much, but they make excellent sandwiches.
11:49Anyway, I'll see you later.
11:51Oh, sorry, private joke.
11:53Oh.
11:56Ben, do you think you could serve Arthur?
11:58Weren't you good enough?
11:59Well, no, it's just we're not talking at the moment.
12:02Arthur, write your order down and love to hear we'll serve you.
12:06What's she doing?
12:07She's taking Rowley for a walk.
12:08I told her not to show her face when we did for a while.
12:10Good.
12:12Look, Arthur, don't you think we should try and settle our differences?
12:18I mean, we have got a lifetime to get rid of us.
12:22Look, I know we've had some arguments in the past, but that was all in the heat of the moment.
12:26Come off it.
12:27You meant every word.
12:29Yeah, I know.
12:30But still, I mean, it was nothing personal.
12:32We just both want the same thing, eh?
12:33We'll leave it to Ali to decide who gets the job, right?
12:36She has got to go.
12:37Well, I didn't ask her to stay.
12:39Well, Angie's got some idea.
12:40She's making her stand.
12:41A woman's living.
12:41All Pat needs her some sweetness and light,
12:43and not the sort you get through the east window of a church, either.
12:45There's nothing I can give her.
12:46We'll give her under quid.
12:47Oh, you made my bank accounts exempt yourselves backyard.
12:50Well, offer us something.
12:50She's your ex.
12:51Deal with it.
12:52She's your guest.
12:52You deal with it.
12:53Well, I've got enough of my play without some ghost from the past breathing down my neck.
12:56And if I tell her to sling her off, Angie will go back on the bottle and have scenes like
12:59Cecil B. DeMille never imagined.
13:01Or talk to her.
13:01That's what she says you want.
13:02Maybe it ain't the money.
13:03Look, I don't want to see her.
13:04That's why they've all stuck.
13:05Oh, well, she'll only start herself one against another.
13:07Just you wait and see.
13:08Yeah.
13:09She's done that before, do you remember?
13:10Yeah.
13:10You punch me in the gut and I need you.
13:12Yeah, well, we don't want to repeat, all right?
13:14Yeah.
13:15Well, look at Angie.
13:16Your mum's had quite an effect on her.
13:17It's been a long time since she's had to look after someone.
13:20Someone's doing her the world of good.
13:21Yeah, well, I'm glad someone's getting something out of it.
13:23What is it she's after, though, Simon?
13:25I mean, it's something to do with you, is it?
13:26Something we don't know about?
13:28Well, no, I don't think so.
13:29No, I took some money off her once and she found out.
13:31But I've been paying her back ever since.
13:33Do you think Pete ought to talk to her?
13:35I don't know.
13:36Well, she's my mum and I feel responsible, but what can I do?
13:39My stepdad could be knocking her about again.
13:41See, she can't look after herself.
13:42She never could.
13:44I've been macking me brains, but I can't think what she might want from me.
13:47Oh, don't worry.
13:48If she puts pressure on Pete about you, I'll stick by you.
13:51I mean, we both love him, don't we?
13:52She don't.
13:53Yeah, thanks, Kevin.
13:54It's no joke, Ange.
13:55Your old man's a cheating swine.
13:57Go on with you.
13:58Ma, Den.
13:59Den, here.
14:01Ali, he says you're a cheating swine.
14:02Tumble at last, eh?
14:04What would you all look doing at you, Ali?
14:05You did a dirty trick on me, Den.
14:06You knew that car was useless.
14:08It was fine when you drove it away from here, mate.
14:09Yeah, it moved.
14:10Well, there you are then, Pat.
14:11She put diesel oil in by mistake.
14:12Look, petrol pump rubbish.
14:14Servo rubbish.
14:15Brake system rubbish.
14:16Exhaust system rubbish.
14:17Oh, Malford T.
14:18What did you expect?
14:18You got your giveaway price.
14:20You didn't give it away, though, did you, Den?
14:21Well, how much is your garage asking?
14:23£400.
14:25Lofty.
14:25Yeah?
14:26Your remote.
14:28Ali's having trouble with the Rover.
14:29Yeah, I'm not surprised.
14:33His garage are asking £300.
14:34I reckon you could do it for two.
14:36Yeah, it would.
14:36I could have a look if you'd like, yeah.
14:38All right, then.
14:38Pop me to the office, then we'll sort it out later, eh?
14:40All right, I'll see you later on.
14:41Everything all right, Arthur?
14:44Miss Wilkins, you made an application for Social Security.
14:47Now, I don't know how much you know about our procedures.
14:50Well, they gave me a leaflet.
14:52Oh, good.
14:52But I'll explain a bit about my call.
14:55It's a first step in deciding whether or not you're eligible.
14:58Now, let's see.
15:00You've been drawing unemployment benefits.
15:02Yes.
15:03And you were cohabiting, but there's been an alteration in your private affairs.
15:07Yes, that's right.
15:08Did you move in here together?
15:09Uh, yes, we did two years ago.
15:11Well, I suppose you intended it to be a long-term arrangement.
15:14Well, we did then.
15:15But it is my house and it's my mortgage, unfortunately.
15:18Yes, well, it's the mortgage that is the killer.
15:20Hmm.
15:22Miss Wilkins, I haven't come to investigate your financial situation
15:24because you've already declared that you have no source of income.
15:28But I do have to establish to my department's satisfaction
15:30that you're no longer living with Mr, uh...
15:33Mr O'Brien.
15:34Mr O'Brien.
15:35Mm-hmm.
15:35Now, does he contribute to the household expenses in any way
15:37that might constitute cohabitation as defined in our rules?
15:41Uh, is he in fact still living here?
15:42Well, yes, he is.
15:44Oh.
15:44What?
15:45No accommodation at the hospital?
15:46No.
15:47Well, I suppose not.
15:50I've seen you somewhere before.
15:52Oh.
15:53Yes, today, I'm sure.
15:55Oh, well, never mind.
15:56Right, routine questions like, uh, who cooks, who shops, who cleans.
16:00We'll do it slowly.
16:02Don't worry.
16:02It's all very simple stuff.
16:04You did right, Pauline.
16:06You don't want no truck with us.
16:07Just like a mother, rough.
16:08I know, but I just feel so ashamed of myself.
16:10Hey, Pauline, come in here.
16:11I want to show you something.
16:12I know for a fact her mother never bought fresh butter.
16:15I've called him Sammy.
16:16Oh, nice.
16:18Yeah?
16:19Here.
16:20Watch this.
16:21Arthur, what are you doing?
16:23I'm just going to prove that I can do this blindfold.
16:25Oh, Arthur, you fool.
16:26Madeline, do you want these boiled, fried or mashed?
16:29I want to talk to you.
16:30I'm listening.
16:31About Lofty.
16:32I'm deaf.
16:33What's up between you two?
16:34I don't want to talk about it.
16:36I do.
16:37Well, he's a wolf in sheep's clothing.
16:39Bulls, wolves.
16:40I wish you two would stop talking in riddles.
16:42Arthur, are you jealous of him?
16:44Me?
16:45Jealous of him?
16:46Because of Michelle.
16:47Don't make me laugh.
16:49Well, what is it then?
16:51Well, look, there's a job going at Ali's, and I said I'd do it.
16:55And before I know where I am, Lofty says he'll do it.
16:58Knowing full well I've already put in me bed.
17:00Well, what sort of a job?
17:02Um, cab control.
17:04You know, I mean, when they get those drivers working at nights, they'll need someone at
17:06the man in the office.
17:07Oh.
17:08How many nights?
17:10Five or six.
17:11Five nights a week?
17:13Yeah.
17:13What about me?
17:15Well, it won't make any difference to you, will it?
17:17Except you'll have a few more quid in your pocket.
17:19Arthur, I'm up at the crack of dawn every day, right?
17:22I'm working non-stop through the day, and you're telling me, when I get into my bed at
17:26night, absolutely exhausted, that I'm going to be in it on me own?
17:29It's a job, Pauline.
17:30I need a job.
17:31Yes, and I need husband.
17:33Look, I'm not arguing with you, Pauline, and I'm not jealous.
17:36Well, I'd rather have a proper life with you than a few extra quid in me pocket.
17:40Look, I know what you're saying, Pauline, but I don't think I can be the husband you want
17:44unless I get myself sorted out.
17:46It's the chicken and the egg, innit?
17:48You can boil, then.
17:56Oh.
18:01Gotcha, you brighter.
18:03You've killed Sammy.
18:05Sammy?
18:06Yeah.
18:07Well, try and look at it this way, Mum.
18:09Perhaps he was too good to live.
18:11Now, if you entertain, you do it together, you must have many friends in common.
18:14Well, I don't entertain.
18:17What is it like this kettle, innit?
18:18This is Mr O'Brien.
18:19It's your kettle, Andy.
18:21Oh, yeah, so it's nice to meet you, mate.
18:23Afternoon.
18:24Shall we go on or shall I...?
18:26Do you mind the first day?
18:27Oh, not at all, no.
18:27That's really not necessary.
18:29The officer does not mind the first day.
18:31I expect Mr O'Brien wants to give you moral support.
18:34He certainly does not.
18:36Who does the laundry?
18:38I do.
18:39You know, the heavy loads I do.
18:41That's a shop overall, isn't it?
18:42Which?
18:44It's suddenly coming back to me.
18:45Where I saw you, I mean.
18:46The woman in the supermarket who I was talking to was wearing one, and you were with her.
18:51Perhaps you were wearing one as well.
18:53Sorry?
18:54Or that in the bag.
18:56It's a mine.
18:57Didn't she?
19:00It's funny how these things suddenly click, isn't it?
19:03Like a photograph.
19:04And it all makes sense.
19:05Hmm.
19:07Right.
19:08Just a couple more things.
19:10Any joint higher purchase agreements?
19:12Yeah, I tell you, Mum, all this looking after does get a bit on my nerves at times.
19:15Yeah, you've got a whole army at it, haven't you?
19:17Even your own family can't get a look in.
19:19Mum, I'm not trying to keep you out.
19:20I wish you'd believe that.
19:22It's just that I want to be able to look after myself.
19:24That's what I really want.
19:25I know.
19:25I'm trying, and I'm trying not to be jealous, but...
19:29Well, if your dad gets this job, this place is just going to be like a doss house,
19:32and my room's going to be the kitchen.
19:34I'm going to have to sort something out without anyone losing face.
19:37Just tell Dad you need him.
19:39I did.
19:40Mum, I wouldn't want to worry about it.
19:42I don't reckon there's going to be a job there for a long time.
19:44It's going to be ages before they get a fleet of cars on the road.
19:46Yeah.
19:46Maybe when Sue has her baby.
19:48Hmm.
19:49Here, Shell.
19:50I bought something for you today.
19:51Not for Vicky.
19:52For you.
19:53What do you do that for?
19:54Well, if I can't help as much as I want to, they can't stop me buying you things, can they?
19:57Yeah.
20:00It's only cheap, but it smells ever so nice.
20:03Look, Vicky.
20:05What did your grandparents bought me?
20:07I did something terrible today.
20:09I feel quite ashamed of myself.
20:12I smacked someone across the face.
20:14Ooh.
20:16I can't tell you.
20:17You weren't dead?
20:18No, of course not.
20:19Mind you, sometimes.
20:22How do you get on, darling?
20:23Well, I've got a bump on my finger.
20:24I was pushing the pen there.
20:25Oh.
20:26My mission is to pacify Ireland.
20:29To what extent did Gladstone achieve this angle?
20:32Unbelievable.
20:33Did you do that one?
20:34Hey.
20:34Let's have a look.
20:40A leap in the dark.
20:41How accurate is this description of the 1867 Reform Act?
20:45It's enough to make you want to cry.
20:47That was easy, that one.
20:48Did you know that one, girl?
20:50Oh.
20:50How can they do it?
20:52The idea of progress through social reform, clouding the minds of yet another generation.
20:57Don't be daft, Harry.
20:58What's he going on about?
20:59No, they set the questions in the assumption of a particular answer.
21:01Yeah, the right one, eh?
21:03But none of it bears any relevance to the problems of today, Mrs Watts.
21:06Well, because a publican's daughter don't need an education, is that what you mean?
21:09I didn't say that.
21:11Did I say that?
21:12No, you didn't say that.
21:13No, you didn't.
21:13You didn't.
21:14Well, I don't know what you're talking about, then, darling.
21:16Look, it's all right, Mum.
21:16It's all lot air.
21:17I think I did all right.
21:18Can we get on with our rehearsal?
21:19Of course you can.
21:20And keep the noise level down, eh?
21:21And next time, check with the landlords.
21:25Actually, that's quite a good name for the group, there.
21:26What?
21:27Passify Island?
21:28No, Leap in the Dark.
21:29Here, I've got one.
21:30The Mighty Alberts.
21:31Ya-ya jalopy.
21:33She-man!
21:34Oh, Tesla.
21:35Sexual politics has been done to death.
21:37That's not true.
21:38You can still...
21:38Look, who cares about the name?
21:39We haven't even got a sound yet, have we?
21:41Hey, what's the line-up going to be, Harry?
21:43You got any ideas?
21:45No, I want to hear yours first.
21:48Come on, then.
21:48Let's do what we did yesterday, eh?
21:50Yeah.
21:50Come on, Cheryl.
21:52Have you got your word?
21:54Come on.
21:54Come on, Kel.
21:56Hey, I'll use mine.
22:00I will take the stars out of the sky for you.
22:05Stop the rain from falling if you ask me to.
22:10I'd do anything for you, your wish is my command.
22:15I would move a mountain when your hand is in my hand.
22:19You, to me, are everything the sweetest song that I can sing.
22:24Oh, baby.
22:25Sharon, not too loud, remember?
22:28Has that fat lump gone yet?
22:29The car never arrived.
22:30Do you have to order a cab?
22:32I'll get a little open if I have to push you there in a wheelbarrow.
22:34Yeah, maybe put your back out at the same time, eh?
22:37Yeah, I'll have that.
22:38Put some colour in your cheeks.
22:40I feel like a lamb going to the slaughter, Kath.
22:42You look all right.
22:43I feel like a right bird getting suited and booted for her.
22:46I'm going to clean my teeth.
22:47I reckon she still pancies you.
22:49Go on.
22:50I reckon she's sitting there asking herself how she could have let a bloke in a million like
22:53you slip through her fingers.
22:55I'm being serious, Pete.
22:57Yeah, well, I wish she could be as simple as that, Kath.
22:59Look, you're doing the right thing.
23:01If she can still upset you like this, it means she still owns a piece of you.
23:04What do you mean?
23:05Pete, you've got to just face her out.
23:08Yeah, you could be right.
23:09Another thing I've been thinking and all, that if you're being straight with me and there's
23:13nothing to hide, then maybe it's Simon she's trying to get at.
23:16For his sake, we've got to sort this out.
23:18I mean, he can't do nothing, can he?
23:19We've got to do it for him.
23:20We?
23:21Yeah.
23:23He feels like me home now, Simon.
23:25I never thought I'd say that.
23:26It's true.
23:27There you go, Dad.
23:28We might need a bit of Dutch courage.
23:31Are you fit?
23:31Yep.
23:32Another half an hour and she drives off into the great beyond.
23:44Don't worry, babe.
23:47Look, you should have given me some warning.
23:50I don't have to give warning because I want to see my own son.
23:52Me mates from childhood.
23:54We all grew up together.
23:55Oh, cut the flannel.
23:57It was a real pig, Pete.
23:58Yeah.
23:59Well, I'm sorry.
23:59I'm violent with it.
24:01Oh, yeah.
24:01You've been playing around again.
24:02Oh, trust you to say that.
24:04Oh, come on, Pat.
24:05You always had bedroom eyes.
24:06The blokes fancy me always did.
24:07As usual.
24:08It's the woman that's to blame.
24:09Oh, yeah.
24:10Simon told me.
24:11Lots of uncles coming and going.
24:12And you believe him?
24:14He left home because he couldn't face up to the mess he got into.
24:17He didn't come clean about the money till I found out he tried pinching from me.
24:21Got you to bail him out, though.
24:22Look, if you've just come here to stir them up, I'm not listening.
24:25Me and him have sorted it out.
24:26So you keep your fat nose out of it, Pat.
24:29I'm down on me luck, Pete.
24:31I can't afford to walk out.
24:34Kids have grown up and they don't help.
24:37I'm too old to start again.
24:40I lost me figure, me good looks.
24:42But I reckon there's one or two who owes me and now's the time to collect me debts.
24:46I've got to look after meself.
24:47Yeah, well, I've got this.
24:50Well, not worth more than that.
24:52Look, you tricked me into marrying you.
24:54If I hadn't walked out part of the top, do you want to talk myself?
24:56You've done all right since, Pete.
24:58Yeah, we're going to collect it from the other suckers.
24:59Must be a list as long as you're home.
25:01Your brother?
25:01And leave my brother out of it, Pat.
25:03As you like.
25:05Yeah, and what about that red-headed Irishman?
25:06And Terry, remember?
25:07The one who worked on the buses?
25:08Half my mates.
25:09And what about your old mate downstairs?
25:11Oh, yeah.
25:12And what about him?
25:12You having a go at him now?
25:14No.
25:15I think I'll leave Den out of it.
25:16It'll give me great pleasure to get back at Den, though.
25:19Why?
25:19The way he treats Angie is disgusting.
25:21That's between them.
25:23And this is between us.
25:26I want 500, Pete, and then I'll leave you in peace.
25:29You what?
25:30There's nothing to a bloke like you doing well.
25:32But for me, that'd be a real step towards me independence.
25:35I think it's reasonable.
25:36Well, I think it's blackmail.
25:37How can you bring yourself to do it, Pat?
25:39You're acting like a whore!
25:40A whore?
25:41Oh, well, if that's what you think, you'd better pay for what you've had.
25:44Listen, Pat.
25:45You was my wife when I loved you.
25:46Oh.
25:47You were flattered.
25:48The sexiest girl in the street wanted to marry you.
25:51Think I wanted to spend the rest of my life with you?
25:53Big, thick and vain.
25:55All mouth.
25:56You promised me a good life.
25:58And what did I get?
25:59Two rooms, two kids, and one wet week in Weymouth.
26:02That was our marriage.
26:04I used to ask myself,
26:05how could that lump of lard make himself believe I love him?
26:08Pat!
26:09Get out of me!
26:10Get out of me!
26:11I'll let you off the hook,
26:12cos, boy, I've had you on it long enough.
26:15Simon's not your kid, Pete.
26:17Get it?
26:17Oh, no.
26:18You're lying!
26:19I'm surprised it hasn't crossed your mind before!
26:22Tell me you're lying, Pat!
26:24Think of it!
26:24Next time you look in his eyes,
26:25who does he remind you of, eh?
26:27Pat, he's here.
26:30Sorry.
26:30All right?
26:31Everything okay?
26:32Yeah.
26:32There you go.
26:33Now, you take care, eh?
26:34No.
26:35And you don't.
26:36Cat fit.
26:40See you, babe.
26:45She's gone, sorry.
26:46It's all right.
26:47I haven't seen the dad for a little while.
26:48You do that, darling.
26:50Thanks, Ed.
26:57You all right, Dad?
26:57Do you want anything?
