0:00:02 > 0:00:05So, there I was, hard at it, doing me homework, when me ma comes in.
0:00:05 > 0:00:07Ah, Roy, that doesn't look like your homework.
0:00:07 > 0:00:09But, Ma, it's history homework for Hammo.
0:00:09 > 0:00:13Ah, history - gossip's fancy cousin.
0:00:13 > 0:00:17Your assignment is to write the life story of a historical figure
0:00:17 > 0:00:18of your choice.
0:00:18 > 0:00:21- He wants... - BOTH: ..every fact, every figure,
0:00:21 > 0:00:24and every single detail.
0:00:24 > 0:00:27I don't know where to start. What do I know about the woman
0:00:27 > 0:00:30who built France, or the man who invented hiccups?
0:00:30 > 0:00:32Why not try writing about the person you know best?
0:00:32 > 0:00:34- Who's that? - You. We're all a part of history.
0:00:34 > 0:00:36Ma was right. But did I really want everybody
0:00:36 > 0:00:38knowing everything about me?
0:00:38 > 0:00:40There's some things I wish even I didn't know.
0:00:40 > 0:00:42Me da was very persuasive, though.
0:00:42 > 0:00:47You know what he's like when he gets fired up about something.
0:00:47 > 0:00:51- Does whatever you're saying mean I have to stop reading this paper?- No.
0:00:51 > 0:00:52Do that, then.
0:00:52 > 0:00:57So, I'm writing it all down - the life and thoughts of Roy O'Brien -
0:00:57 > 0:00:59cos these are The Roy Files.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04Today, I'd like to talk about something
0:01:04 > 0:01:06we all just can't help doing -
0:01:06 > 0:01:08making moustaches.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10No, wait, that can't be right.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13Mistakes. None of us can help making mistakes.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15Take me da...
0:01:15 > 0:01:17- Bill, Bill...- Yeah?
0:01:17 > 0:01:18..you wouldn't get us a repair man, would you?
0:01:18 > 0:01:20No, no, not at all, love. No, no, no.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22In fact, you go and spend the call-out charge on
0:01:22 > 0:01:26something new for yourself. I'll have this fixed in a jiffy, love.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29- Oh, Bill, the bin men are here.- OK.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37- No, I'll take them out. I'll take them out.- Ah, stop.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40- They'll only smell.- You're after missing them - they've just gone.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42Yeah. Da never seems to change.
0:01:42 > 0:01:46I'm looking forward to a...fresh start with our new neighbours.
0:01:46 > 0:01:47Hi!
0:01:47 > 0:01:49Our last neighbours stopped talking to us
0:01:49 > 0:01:51after Dad fell through the bathroom ceiling.
0:01:51 > 0:01:55Ha-ha-ha! He was trying to get my kite off the roof.
0:01:55 > 0:01:59It was just bad luck Mrs Murphy was in the bath at the time.
0:01:59 > 0:02:00Yeah, but that's all in the past now.
0:02:00 > 0:02:05I'm sure we won't have any problem with our new neighbours.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08Well, they won't be complaining about the noise any more, anyway!
0:02:08 > 0:02:14- Bill! That's not our house! We're next door!- Da!- Oh!
0:02:14 > 0:02:18Get back in the car! In the CAR!
0:02:18 > 0:02:19Drive!
0:02:23 > 0:02:25They say you learn from your mistakes.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28If that's true, he must be a genius by now.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34Look at that, look.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37Opens and closes like a dream.
0:02:37 > 0:02:38HINGES CREAK
0:02:38 > 0:02:41You see, I've always been a bit of a natural at the old DIY.
0:02:41 > 0:02:45That stands for "do it yourself", by the way.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47I did this, now, look. Watch this, look.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50Look.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52Not a wobble.
0:02:52 > 0:02:53Not a squeak. Perfect, look.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59I could do this whole chapter of the scrapbook just on me da.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02- A whole chapter on just me. - BILL CHUCKLES
0:03:02 > 0:03:03Yeah, I like the sound of that.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05What's...what's it about?
0:03:05 > 0:03:07Oh...you know, stuff.
0:03:09 > 0:03:10Oh, you jerk!
0:03:12 > 0:03:15Good, good, good.
0:03:15 > 0:03:16Mammy...
0:03:16 > 0:03:20What kind of stuff? Hold on, hold on...don't tell me.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22Being organised.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31Erm...not exactly.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34Erm...I-I know. I know.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36Natural talent.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39- Hold that chair, son, will you? - Yeah.- Good lad.
0:03:39 > 0:03:44You see, son, the secret to successful DIY
0:03:44 > 0:03:46- is really simple.- Nice doggy.
0:03:46 > 0:03:50You either have it...or you don't.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52- DOG BARKS - Dad, are you OK?
0:03:52 > 0:03:56Yeah...yeah. None the better, son. Yeah.
0:03:56 > 0:04:00Just going to lie here for another little minute.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02Lovely carpet, isn't it?
0:04:02 > 0:04:06- No, it's not natural talent either. - Erm...
0:04:06 > 0:04:08Dad?
0:04:08 > 0:04:09What?
0:04:09 > 0:04:12Shouldn't we put up the wallpaper first?
0:04:12 > 0:04:14Probably.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16- BOTH:- Ow!
0:04:19 > 0:04:22I've got it. I've got it. Responsibility.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25Sure...yeah, that's it. Responsibility.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31There...now.
0:04:32 > 0:04:33At last, huh?
0:04:35 > 0:04:37That's more like it, isn't it, Roy?
0:04:39 > 0:04:40Roy?
0:04:40 > 0:04:44MUFFLED SHOUTING
0:04:46 > 0:04:49- That you, Roy? - MUFFLED SHOUTING
0:04:49 > 0:04:52That's not good, is it? Erm...
0:04:52 > 0:04:53Wait, now. Wait...
0:04:53 > 0:04:56Yeah, cos if you're looking for a responsibility role model,
0:04:56 > 0:04:58I think you've got the right fella.
0:04:58 > 0:05:02Plenty of examples of me being responsible, like the time I...
0:05:02 > 0:05:04That time you...
0:05:04 > 0:05:06...erm, when I...
0:05:06 > 0:05:09- Why don't I just get on with it? - Yeah, OK.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11Don't want to hold you up, son.
0:05:11 > 0:05:12Good man.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16So, where were we?
0:05:16 > 0:05:18Oh, yeah - mistakes,
0:05:18 > 0:05:19which brings me...to me.
0:05:19 > 0:05:24Unfortunately, the hunky good looks aren't all I inherited from me da.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27I've also been known to make a few mistakes of me own.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39SCHOOL BELL RINGS
0:05:39 > 0:05:43- Aargh! - CHILDREN LAUGH
0:05:43 > 0:05:44Roy!
0:05:46 > 0:05:48Just ask Hammo.
0:05:49 > 0:05:53Aargh!
0:05:53 > 0:05:54MR HAMMOND CRASHES
0:05:57 > 0:06:01That poor chap has been around for more than one of my mistakes.
0:06:03 > 0:06:04ROY!
0:06:04 > 0:06:08You'd think he'd get used to it, but you'd be wrong.
0:06:08 > 0:06:09- Ah, good. - CHILDREN COUGH
0:06:09 > 0:06:13Now, can the school get back to business? Hmm?
0:06:13 > 0:06:16Or is there something else you've got in store for us?
0:06:16 > 0:06:20FIRE ALARM BLARES
0:06:20 > 0:06:22ROY!
0:06:22 > 0:06:24But, hey, we all get stuff wrong now and then.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26I'm sure, someday, we'll laugh about it.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28Are you for real?
0:06:28 > 0:06:31Says the girl in the imaginary thought bubble.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34Do you seriously think that you can fit all your mistakes
0:06:34 > 0:06:36into one scrapbook?
0:06:36 > 0:06:40I nearly forgot - perfect Becky never makes mistakes.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42That's pretty much the gist of it, yeah.
0:06:42 > 0:06:46Oh, really? And what about our trip to the seaside?
0:06:46 > 0:06:49- Come on, I'll give you a hand. - Come on, Roy.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08You weren't so perfect then. You lost me!
0:07:08 > 0:07:10What makes you think that was a mistake?
0:07:10 > 0:07:11I know you don't mean that.
0:07:11 > 0:07:16- So, where do you go to school? - Do you know...?
0:07:16 > 0:07:18I think it's time for a game of hide and seek.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28Roy?
0:07:28 > 0:07:32- He must have wandered off. - Yeah, I better go find him.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34Roy! Roy!
0:07:37 > 0:07:39She seeks him here, she seeks him there.
0:07:39 > 0:07:43His goofy sister seeks him everywhere. Ha-ha!
0:07:43 > 0:07:46He's run away! This is all my fault.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48He wanted to play Dance King Three, but I made him
0:07:48 > 0:07:50go on the kiddies' ride instead, so I could talk to...
0:07:50 > 0:07:52And that was only your first mistake.
0:07:52 > 0:07:56Mistake number two was trying to cover it up.
0:07:56 > 0:07:57Hello?
0:07:57 > 0:07:59Ma?
0:07:59 > 0:08:02Yeah, we're fine. He's playing his dancing game.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05Do you want me to take him off it to say hello?
0:08:05 > 0:08:06You sure?
0:08:06 > 0:08:09OK. Talk to you later.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13I wish I never came out to Bray in the first place.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15Yeah, well, I did come clean in the end.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18I'm going to ring my parents.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21- DAD HOWLS IN PAIN - Hey, Becky. Everything OK?
0:08:24 > 0:08:26When?
0:08:26 > 0:08:27Right, OK. We're on our way.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29- What's wrong with you? - Roy's gone missing.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31Missing? Right, where's my car keys?
0:08:31 > 0:08:34- This is my fault. - It's nobody's fault, Bill.- No...
0:08:34 > 0:08:37So, there you have it. Lots to think about when it comes to mistakes.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40Oh, no, you don't. You're not finished yet.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43Are you sure? Because I can't seem to think of anything else.
0:08:43 > 0:08:44Can't you, now?
0:08:44 > 0:08:47So, if I was to say the words "Dad's car, skateboard,
0:08:47 > 0:08:49"dopey cartoon boy..."
0:08:49 > 0:08:52- Did I just hear Ma calling us for dinner?- No.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55Do you want to tell it, or will I?
0:08:55 > 0:08:56All right, all right.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59So, I had this deadly idea, right?
0:08:59 > 0:09:02INAUDIBLE SPEECH
0:09:04 > 0:09:07He's doing a rock and roll!
0:09:07 > 0:09:09No, he's doing a bomb drop!
0:09:09 > 0:09:10I CAN'T STOP!
0:09:10 > 0:09:13- What's he doing now? - I don't think there's a name for it.
0:09:13 > 0:09:14Aargh!
0:09:14 > 0:09:16- Watch out!- Your dad's car!
0:09:16 > 0:09:17Aargh!
0:09:20 > 0:09:23Well, I thought it was a deadly idea.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25But you were mistaken, weren't you?
0:09:27 > 0:09:28It's a big bump.
0:09:36 > 0:09:37Oh! Oh!
0:09:37 > 0:09:39You OK, son?
0:09:39 > 0:09:40I...I just had an accident.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42An accident?
0:09:42 > 0:09:44I didn't mean to.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47I-I-I was trying to do a loop the loop, you know?
0:09:47 > 0:09:48It's me dad's car.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50He's going to hit the roof when he sees it!
0:09:50 > 0:09:53So, erm...
0:09:53 > 0:09:55your dad's out, is he?
0:09:55 > 0:09:58Yeah. H-h-he's just gone across to the shops.
0:10:01 > 0:10:05Ah...let's have a gander. Mightn't be as bad as we think.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07Just needs a bit of body work done, you know?
0:10:07 > 0:10:09Bit of beating out, touching up.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11Shouldn't cost too much.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13You think so?
0:10:13 > 0:10:17Then again, if that bump's after damaging the engine or the chassis,
0:10:17 > 0:10:19it can add on another couple of zeros.
0:10:19 > 0:10:20ROY GULPS
0:10:20 > 0:10:23The thing was, I knew Da would hit the roof if he found out
0:10:23 > 0:10:27what I'd done. He once told me he loved that car like a son,
0:10:27 > 0:10:30which, now that I think of it, is kind of insulting.
0:10:30 > 0:10:34So, what did Roy do? Tried to hide his mistake.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36Unfortunately, the dope decided to hide it behind
0:10:36 > 0:10:39an even bigger mistake.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41Right, tell you what I'll do.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43I could take it down the end of the main road and back, you know?
0:10:43 > 0:10:47Give it a once over. Check that everything's hunky-dory.
0:10:47 > 0:10:48Could you?
0:10:48 > 0:10:50I'll need the keys, though.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53Hang on a sec.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55I think I know where there's a spare set.
0:10:55 > 0:10:59OK, it wasn't my greatest idea ever. But I was desperate.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17HORN PLAYS LA CUCARACHA
0:11:17 > 0:11:20So, we'd gone from car with a it of a dent in it
0:11:20 > 0:11:23to a front drive with a bit of a car missing from it.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25Have the cab company got a car they can loan you?
0:11:25 > 0:11:28No, they're all driver-owned. What am I going to do, Maura?
0:11:28 > 0:11:31- I don't know. Call the police. - Call the police. Brilliant, yeah.
0:11:31 > 0:11:35Mind you, that's a waste of time, isn't it? Huh?
0:11:35 > 0:11:37I'm only after having it re-sprayed, too.
0:11:37 > 0:11:41Lovely new stacking system for my CDs, a buck-skin lumbar cushion...
0:11:41 > 0:11:44after spending a fortune on it! And you didn't see anything, no?
0:11:44 > 0:11:46- I was in bed.- What about Roy? - Well, I don't know. Ask him!
0:11:46 > 0:11:49Here, hold, wait...just hold that.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51Roy? Good man, listen...
0:11:51 > 0:11:54Did you see anything while you were out playing in the street?
0:11:54 > 0:11:58- Erm, no...- Anything suspicious at all?- I-I...- Ah, it doesn't...
0:11:58 > 0:12:01Maura, that car puts food on the table. What are we going to do?
0:12:01 > 0:12:04- Bill, please...- Oh, brilliant...
0:12:04 > 0:12:07Not good. I know I should have just told the truth,
0:12:07 > 0:12:09but I was way too scared of what me da would say.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14You shouldn't be scared of telling me anything, son.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16Even though he trashed your car and gave it away?
0:12:16 > 0:12:21Absolutely. I want you kids to know that, whatever it is,
0:12:21 > 0:12:26as long as you're telling me the truth, I won't get mad.
0:12:26 > 0:12:27Thanks, Da.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30Now I feel bad I told you I was writing about responsibility.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33- What, you're not?- No. It's about mistakes today.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35And you thought you could fill a whole chapter just about me?
0:12:35 > 0:12:38You're on your own, Roy. I'm out of here.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41You ungrateful little scallywag!
0:12:41 > 0:12:43Wait until I get my hands on you!
0:12:43 > 0:12:45Oops! My mistake!
0:12:46 > 0:12:49So, plenty to think about when it comes to mistakes,
0:12:49 > 0:12:53but keep to these simple rules, and you'll be fine.
0:12:53 > 0:12:57Remember, everybody makes mistakes, so don't be too hard on yourself.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00And the good news is mistakes are there to be learned from,
0:13:00 > 0:13:02so we don't have to make them again.
0:13:02 > 0:13:03The bad news is there's always
0:13:03 > 0:13:06a brand-new mistake out there waiting for us.
0:13:06 > 0:13:10And, finally, if you're not making mistakes then you're not living.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13So, the next time you make a mistake, just say to yourself,
0:13:13 > 0:13:14"I'm living life at the full."
0:13:14 > 0:13:18And then try not being such a dope the next time!
0:13:18 > 0:13:20There you go, scrapbook sorted!
0:13:20 > 0:13:23Roy, dinner!
0:13:23 > 0:13:24Perfect timing!
0:13:24 > 0:13:28A few sausages will put me da back in a good mood, no mistake!
