0:00:08 > 0:00:12And to think one of them could be living next door.

0:00:31 > 0:00:33You come to fix my lamp?
0:00:33 > 0:00:34No, Nan, I've come to get you.
0:00:34 > 0:00:37The tenants are meeting downstairs. It's all kicking off.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39- Who is it? - The tenants' association.
0:00:39 > 0:00:42Load of moaning old trollops.
0:00:42 > 0:00:44Ha-ha-ha-ha!
0:00:44 > 0:00:47Nan, people are going to lose their homes if we don't do something.
0:00:47 > 0:00:48They'll all be turfed out.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50What, so my lamp's just going to fix itself, is it?
0:00:52 > 0:00:54Nan, it's not that bad - you've got three other lights.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57Look, I've made muffins for the cake sale.

0:01:16 > 0:01:17All right, I'll have a quick look.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19Here...
0:01:19 > 0:01:20These ain't bad, son.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23- What's the matter with it, then? - I don't know, love...
0:01:23 > 0:01:25Argh!
0:01:25 > 0:01:27..but the electrician told me not to touch it.
0:01:35 > 0:01:36I'm afraid the rumours are true.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39Pressman Developments have bought the freehold for this building
0:01:39 > 0:01:41- from the council. - CROWD GRUMBLES
0:01:41 > 0:01:43They're going to raise our rents forcing us to leave
0:01:43 > 0:01:46so they can turn this place into luxury apartments.
0:01:46 > 0:01:50They're sending a man called Charles Wilmott down to talk to us.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53Here we are! The dream team.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55It's always us lot, innit?
0:01:55 > 0:01:57Oh, Mrs Taylor, you're here.
0:01:57 > 0:01:58Yeah. Sorry, I'm late,
0:01:58 > 0:02:00but this one was rolling around on the floor like a dog.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04- I brought you some muffins. - You all right, Jamie?
0:02:04 > 0:02:05Course he's all right.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08I told him not to put his hands where they're not wanted.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11She's heard that before.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14You all right, Peggy? You're looking well.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17- Is that a new hat?- Yeah.- Yeah...
0:02:17 > 0:02:20Gawd knows who's bought her that.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22She got a different fella every week.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25Peggy the Tart, we used to call her.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27Didn't we, Peg? Well, still do.
0:02:29 > 0:02:30Mrs Taylor, please!
0:02:30 > 0:02:34She knows! There's no judgment here, love!
0:02:34 > 0:02:37I mean, good luck to you, Pegs - still going strong at your age.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40Mrs Taylor, if you've finished talking to my mother...
0:02:45 > 0:02:46..may I continue?
0:02:46 > 0:02:48Please do, love.
0:02:48 > 0:02:52Nothing like listening to a whining old lesbian...
0:02:52 > 0:02:54to make you appreciate your life.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59Well, two things - firstly, I am not a lesbian,
0:02:59 > 0:03:02and secondly, you own your flat, Mrs Taylor,
0:03:02 > 0:03:04so you're not a tenant,
0:03:04 > 0:03:06so this issue doesn't affect you.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09No, no, we are a community. I'm here for you.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12I've seen that film Pride.
0:03:14 > 0:03:15Very moving.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18No... No, all you gay miners deserve a chance.
0:03:22 > 0:03:23You all right, Daphne?
0:03:25 > 0:03:26Yeah...
0:03:28 > 0:03:31So, we need to decide on a plan of action.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33We could chain ourselves to the building.
0:03:33 > 0:03:37Well, it wouldn't be the first time you've been tied up, would it, Peg?
0:03:37 > 0:03:38Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
0:03:40 > 0:03:41Filth, she was.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45That's a good idea, but before we attempt something that dramatic,
0:03:45 > 0:03:47I think we need to make some noise.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49We need to get ourselves on the news...
0:03:49 > 0:03:51You on the telly?
0:03:51 > 0:03:53Oh, I think you'll struggle, love.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55Unless they're bringing back Prisoner: Cell Block H.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00Listen, I am leader of this group...
0:04:00 > 0:04:02What you need is a leader.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04What did I just say?
0:04:04 > 0:04:07I don't know... Something about KD Lang?
0:04:09 > 0:04:13As head of the tenants' association, I am the leader.
0:04:13 > 0:04:14Oh, self-appointed.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17And I think it's time I stood up for what's right,
0:04:17 > 0:04:20and I want you out, we all want you out.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23- TENANTS:- Yeah. - What?! You can't kick me out.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25Why not? All you ever do is make things worse.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27Come on!
0:04:27 > 0:04:30- You're rude...- Yeah. - ..you're insensitive...- Check.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33..you reduce everyone to a social or sexual stereotype...
0:04:33 > 0:04:34Oh, thank you.
0:04:36 > 0:04:37..and it's time you went.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41Is this cos I don't fancy you?
0:04:47 > 0:04:50Oh, please leave us alone so we can get something done for once.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52Well, they don't want me out, do you?
0:04:52 > 0:04:54If you think Mrs Taylor should leave the group,
0:04:54 > 0:04:55please raise your hand.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59Well, that is charming, innit?
0:04:59 > 0:05:01You want me out, do you, Daph?
0:05:01 > 0:05:03You, with your big pig head?
0:05:05 > 0:05:06Mrs Taylor!
0:05:06 > 0:05:08She got a head like a pig, the woman.
0:05:09 > 0:05:13Oh, not you and all, Trong Tri?
0:05:13 > 0:05:16SHE SPEAKS IN VIETNAMESE
0:05:16 > 0:05:19HE SPEAKS IN VIETNAMESE
0:05:19 > 0:05:21Oh, fuck you, then.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26- What about you, Peg? You with me? - No.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28Oh, et tu, Peg?
0:05:28 > 0:05:32Oh, after all I've done for you. All the secrets I've kept.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35I've never told anyone what a crusty old whore you are.
0:05:37 > 0:05:41Jamie! You just going to sit there and let 'em treat me like this?
0:05:41 > 0:05:43Well... Oh...
0:05:45 > 0:05:48Useless!
0:05:48 > 0:05:51Well... Well, good luck without me,
0:05:51 > 0:05:52but you'll be sorry.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54You'll regret this.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56But you mark my words,
0:05:56 > 0:05:58I am never setting foot
0:05:58 > 0:06:02in this dirty, pox-ridden lesbian hideaway again.
0:06:09 > 0:06:10Forgot me grandson.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20You finished with my smoke alarm yet?
0:06:20 > 0:06:23Nan, give me a chance, I'm still a bit shaky.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26Oh, pull yourself together, you big nance.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30Nan, I really think you should make peace with the neighbours,
0:06:30 > 0:06:32- they could do with your help. - Oh, shut up.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35POINTLESS THEME MUSIC PLAYS Here it is. Here's me programme.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37Pointless.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40You seen it? Oh, I love it.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42There's a giant who keeps the scores.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45He's not a giant, Nan.
0:06:45 > 0:06:46Ah, it's marvellous, innit?
0:06:46 > 0:06:49Remember when I was volunteering with that tribe in the Sudan?
0:06:49 > 0:06:51Oh, here we go.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54Well, there was a big fight in the village
0:06:54 > 0:06:57and one of the tribal elders brought everyone together.
0:06:57 > 0:06:58He was amazing.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00He had this saying,
0:07:00 > 0:07:03"You can break a coconut with an elephant's hoof,
0:07:03 > 0:07:05"but you don't get to sip its milk."
0:07:06 > 0:07:08Yeah, I've got a saying too, love.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13"You can take an age to fix my smoke alarm...
0:07:14 > 0:07:17"..but you ain't coming down that fucking ladder till it's done."
0:07:21 > 0:07:23Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
0:07:24 > 0:07:27- KNOCK AT DOOR - Can you get that, Nan?
0:07:27 > 0:07:30Oh, Gawd, have I got to do everything around here?

0:07:51 > 0:07:53- Hello. Mrs Taylor?- Yeah.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55My name's Charles Wilmott.
0:07:55 > 0:07:56Ah, it's not charity is it, love?
0:07:56 > 0:07:59Cos I get enough of that with this one.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02He's always banging on about the orphans in Sydenham.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06It was the Sudan. Nan, don't talk to him.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09No. Mrs Taylor, I'm here about a business opportunity...
0:08:09 > 0:08:12Oh, I'm not doing any more pyramid schemes.
0:08:12 > 0:08:16I once got lumbered with having to shift 3,000 letterheads.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18No, I think this is something that actually...
0:08:18 > 0:08:21No-one wants gold-embossed stationery with my name at the top -
0:08:21 > 0:08:23I see that now.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25Mrs Taylor, if you would just let me speak...
0:08:25 > 0:08:27Nan, this is the man we're trying to stop.
0:08:27 > 0:08:31Mrs Taylor, I'm head of acquisitions from Pressman Developments,
0:08:31 > 0:08:32and I have a business proposition
0:08:32 > 0:08:34that I believe could make you a lot of money.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36Ooh, why didn't you say so?
0:08:36 > 0:08:39In you go, son. Ha-ha-ha!
0:08:39 > 0:08:43- Go on, go on - you can fix my smoke alarm later.- Oh!
0:08:43 > 0:08:46Oh, careful, love, that wall's just been painted.
0:08:46 > 0:08:47Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
0:08:52 > 0:08:56So...Wilmott-Brown...
0:08:56 > 0:08:59- No, it's actually Charles Wilmott. - Yeah.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01This business opportunity you speak of...
0:09:01 > 0:09:03Yes, I knew as soon as I heard about you
0:09:03 > 0:09:04- you were an impressive woman.- Oh...
0:09:04 > 0:09:06You're not like the others in this building -
0:09:06 > 0:09:09- you have foresight...- I do. - ..ambition...- You're right.
0:09:09 > 0:09:10- ..enterprise...- Go on.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13And you own your own flat.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15Yes, I do. I've always been ahead of the curve.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17- Take a seat.- Oh, thank you.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20These, erm, these people downstairs... These, er...
0:09:20 > 0:09:21Lesbians?
0:09:24 > 0:09:26They're getting out of hand and they want to stop us.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29Us! Good, honest businesspeople like you and me.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31Did I ever tell you about my letterhead scheme?
0:09:31 > 0:09:34They need placating and they need guidance,
0:09:34 > 0:09:35which is where you come in.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37Why? Because you know how these people tick.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39You have their ear, they look up to you.
0:09:39 > 0:09:43Yeah... I am their favourite.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46I'm like a village elder.
0:09:48 > 0:09:49I have this saying...
0:09:51 > 0:09:55"You can milk an elephant with a coconut...
0:09:56 > 0:10:00"..but you can't something something hoof."
0:10:04 > 0:10:05Muffin?
0:10:06 > 0:10:07Thank you.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09I think you and I should join forces
0:10:09 > 0:10:11so we can make a better world for both of us.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13Are you with me, Mrs Taylor?
0:10:13 > 0:10:17I am, love. You and me - a power couple.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19Like Jackie O and KFC.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25- JFK.- No, thanks, darling. I've already eaten.
0:10:26 > 0:10:30- Oh! Flaxseed and aubergine? - Oh, the world's gone mad.
0:10:31 > 0:10:35- KNOCK AT DOOR - Nan, I think I've got concussion.
0:10:35 > 0:10:36Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
0:10:40 > 0:10:43Remember, nice and big so people can read them.
0:10:43 > 0:10:44Good afternoon.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53Mrs Taylor, I thought we discussed this.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56I am not here for why you think I am here.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59I am here for with my good friend Wilmott-Brown,

0:11:03 > 0:11:05Hello, everyone. Lovely to see you. May we take to the stage?
0:11:05 > 0:11:07We're actually having a private meeting.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09That's all right, this won't take long. Mrs Taylor.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11Oh, thank you.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13- Oh, here we go. - So, as you may have heard...
0:11:13 > 0:11:16Testing, testing, one, two, three.
0:11:16 > 0:11:17I think it's fine. Thank you, Mrs Taylor.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19So, Pressman Developments...
0:11:19 > 0:11:21Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.
0:11:21 > 0:11:22- Stop that.- You're welcome.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24Now, as you may have heard, Pressman Developments
0:11:24 > 0:11:27- have acquired the freehold...- You backed the council into a corner!
0:11:27 > 0:11:29I can assure you it was negotiated.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32You forced them into bed with the fat cats and the bankers.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35Oh, here, she's off again - always in bed with someone.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39- I was told I'm being moved to Stoke! - What a shithole.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42Stoke has a warm and vibrant history.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44Still very much of a shithole.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48And I'm being moved to a one-bedroom flat.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51Yeah, see, she does like to have a waiting room as well.
0:11:53 > 0:11:54All right, Jamie?
0:11:54 > 0:11:57Oh, here he is - the walking dead.
0:11:58 > 0:11:59I'm not talking to you, Nan.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02Well, why not? What have I done?
0:12:02 > 0:12:03You know what you've done.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05You turned your back on your community
0:12:05 > 0:12:07- and teamed up with the enemy. - TENANTS:- Yeah.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09Oh, that? Oh, I thought you found out about your car.
0:12:11 > 0:12:12- What about my car?- Nothing.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15Sorry, Joan, may I go back to the point?
0:12:15 > 0:12:16Look, the point is,
0:12:16 > 0:12:19we're regenerating and we ain't got room for the likes of you.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21TENANTS GROAN
0:12:21 > 0:12:23We're bringing in a new breed of resident -
0:12:23 > 0:12:27the fashionistas, the Russian oligarchs,
0:12:27 > 0:12:29Frank Lampard -
0:12:29 > 0:12:32and you lot are being moved to Stoke, and good riddance.

0:12:38 > 0:12:40Look, I would like to point out these are not my words at all.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42I don't agree with what Mrs Taylor is saying at all.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45Start packing! Ha-ha-ha-ha! Oh!
0:12:47 > 0:12:49Have a look. Ha-ha...

0:13:03 > 0:13:05on the telly.

0:13:16 > 0:13:20- Me and you, we're just like that gay couple.- Yes.
0:13:21 > 0:13:26Laughing and laughing, watching the telly, eating muffins.
0:13:26 > 0:13:27Yes.
0:13:27 > 0:13:30So, Joan, do you mind if we talk about the contracts now?
0:13:30 > 0:13:33- Here, love, have the last muffin. - Oh, no, you have it.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35No, go on, darling. It's the last muffin.
0:13:35 > 0:13:36Oh, no, I couldn't.
0:13:36 > 0:13:38Go on, you'll enjoy that. It's the last one.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40Oh, well, if you insist.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45What, you're taking the last muffin?
0:13:46 > 0:13:48Yeah. Well, they're very good.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50Yeah. Oh, you're having it, are you?
0:13:50 > 0:13:53- Yes, thank you. Mm!- Yeah...
0:13:57 > 0:13:59Yeah, you'll, er...
0:13:59 > 0:14:03You'll enjoy that, won't you, the...last muffin.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06- Does it taste nice, do it?- Mm.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09It will do, won't it? What, with being the last one.
0:14:11 > 0:14:12He's had the last muffin.
0:14:15 > 0:14:16Humph!
0:14:18 > 0:14:20What a fucking liberty!
0:14:22 > 0:14:25SHOUTS: He's had the last muffin, the man!
0:14:25 > 0:14:27"Would you like the last muffin?"
0:14:27 > 0:14:29"Oh, no, I couldn't possibly."
0:14:29 > 0:14:33Then he's turned around and eaten the last fucking muffin!
0:14:33 > 0:14:37Dirty fucking muffin-guzzling bastard!
0:14:39 > 0:14:40Do you want a cup of tea, love?
0:14:43 > 0:14:44No, I think I'm fine.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47I think it's time we dealt with the contracts, though.
0:14:47 > 0:14:48I do need you to sign them.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50What's that, darling?
0:14:50 > 0:14:51Well, it's what we've been discussing.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54It's what we've discussed for days now, the sale of your flat.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56Oh! Oh, I ain't selling my flat.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59Mrs Taylor, we've been through this.
0:14:59 > 0:15:00With the money you make from the sale,
0:15:00 > 0:15:03- you're going to move somewhere nice. You...you did say.- Did I?
0:15:03 > 0:15:06Well, between Pointless and Gogglebox I'm barely conscious.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11But you must realise you... you can't stay here.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13Why not, love? This is where I live.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15And with that mob gone, we'll be laughing.
0:15:17 > 0:15:18I don't think you understand.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21It's not just the building we're improving, it's the clientele.
0:15:21 > 0:15:22Oh, I know, darling.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24I can't wait to meet me new neighbours -
0:15:24 > 0:15:28Vorderman, Sugar, Manilow...
0:15:28 > 0:15:30whoever it was won The Voice.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36But Mrs Taylor, you won't be here.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39Oh, yes, I will, darling, and I shall fit right in.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42Now, pack it up cos the posh drunks are on.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45- Mrs Taylor, I've done everything you've asked of me.- Yeah.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48- I fixed your lamp.- Yeah. - I fixed your smoke alarm.- Ah.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50I spent three days looking for your remote
0:15:50 > 0:15:53- which, it turns out, you left in the fridge.- Ha-ha-ha.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55All I asked of you was to help me
0:15:55 > 0:15:57and all you did was mess everything up.
0:15:57 > 0:15:59Now take the cheque and sign the contract.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02But...but why can't I stay?
0:16:03 > 0:16:07Because my clients don't want to see a throwback old Cockney washerwoman
0:16:07 > 0:16:09cluttering up their new luxury apartments.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12Now take the money and piss off!
0:16:15 > 0:16:17Well, well, well...
0:16:18 > 0:16:20..Wilmott-Brown.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25You shown your true colours, ain't you, son?
0:16:27 > 0:16:29I didn't like you when you ran The Dagmar
0:16:29 > 0:16:31and I don't like you now.
0:16:37 > 0:16:41And if you think I can be bought
0:16:41 > 0:16:42with your dirty corporate money,
0:16:42 > 0:16:45you can think again.
0:16:45 > 0:16:46Now, get out of my flat
0:16:46 > 0:16:49because the Lilt Ladies are about to watch Poldark.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54SHE FARTS
0:17:00 > 0:17:03And if I am not very much mistaken,
0:17:03 > 0:17:05I've just ponied myself.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12Come on, people, we can't lose momentum now.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15The fight to save the estate is officially on!
0:17:15 > 0:17:18- TENANTS:- Yay!- We have 10,000 names on the petition...- Yay!
0:17:18 > 0:17:21..and we are marching on Westminster tomorrow morning!
0:17:21 > 0:17:25- Hooray!- Here she is! TENANTS GRUMBLE
0:17:25 > 0:17:26She's come up and see you!
0:17:26 > 0:17:28She's come to save the day.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30How dare you show your face in here,
0:17:30 > 0:17:33you self-serving, nasty, poisonous old witch.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36No need to apologise.
0:17:36 > 0:17:37We're all friends here.
0:17:37 > 0:17:38Right, everyone, just ignore her.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41I can't believe what I'm seeing.
0:17:41 > 0:17:42Where's your fight?
0:17:42 > 0:17:45- It's time you stood up for yourselves.- We are!
0:17:45 > 0:17:47Do you mind? I'm speaking.
0:17:47 > 0:17:52I say we get a petition signed and march to Westminster.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54We're already going to Westminster!
0:17:54 > 0:17:57See, that's impressive - I've only just suggested that.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59See what happens when I take the lead?
0:17:59 > 0:18:02I cannot express how much we don't need you.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04Well, you might change your mind when I tell you
0:18:04 > 0:18:06the secret information I have managed to purloin.
0:18:06 > 0:18:07What's that, then?
0:18:07 > 0:18:09Wilmott-Brown is moving you all to Stoke.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12- TENANTS GRUMBLE - I told you that!
0:18:12 > 0:18:14And I will be addressing that this evening
0:18:14 > 0:18:15when I appear on Newsnight.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18What?! You can't go on Newsnight.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21- Why not?- Well...because of this.
0:18:23 > 0:18:24And this.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26But mainly this.
0:18:26 > 0:18:27Mrs Taylor, please.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30You need me out there with you, love.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32I mean, no disrespect, sweetheart,
0:18:32 > 0:18:34but you've got a face like a ruptured arse.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40I think I'll do perfectly well without you.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42Yeah, I hear what you're saying - we'll both go.
0:18:42 > 0:18:43No, it'll just be me.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45- Just me and you - understood. - Stop it.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47I like your shoes.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49Why are you suddenly interested?!
0:18:49 > 0:18:52Because I care about each and every one of you.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54- TENANTS GRUMBLE - No, you don't.- No, I don't.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58But Wilmott-Brown ate my last muffin
0:18:58 > 0:19:01and now I'm going to destroy him.
0:19:02 > 0:19:03Oh, please go away!
0:19:03 > 0:19:07Come on, then! Off we go! Come on, everyone together!
0:19:07 > 0:19:10Peggy, try not to boff anyone before you get there.
0:19:10 > 0:19:14There is no way you are coming with me on Newsnight.
0:19:14 > 0:19:18With my looks and your...shoes, we'll take this town by storm.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20You are not coming!
0:19:20 > 0:19:22Shall I wear the shoes?
0:19:22 > 0:19:23Ugh!
0:19:30 > 0:19:33Tonight on Newsnight, residents from a council block in East London
0:19:33 > 0:19:37who are fighting back against, what they call, social cleansing.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40We're joined by Charles Wilmott, for Pressman Developments,
0:19:40 > 0:19:42and Lorna Finch and Joan Taylor,
0:19:42 > 0:19:45the heads of the tenants' association for Mason House.
0:19:45 > 0:19:49Head. Head of the association.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51JOAN SPITS
0:19:52 > 0:19:55OK. Let's, er, let's start with you, er, Mrs Finch.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58Well, it's miss, natch.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02- May I speak freely?- Yes. No, do, do.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06You look a lot different in the flesh, Paxo.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08Can I call you Paxo, Paxo? Ha-ha-ha.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10You had a bit of work done?
0:20:10 > 0:20:12What's happened to your eyes? What's happened to your ears?
0:20:12 > 0:20:14Actually, I'm not Jeremy Paxman.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16He's Evan Davis.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18What, from the Dragons' Den?!
0:20:18 > 0:20:20Blimey! You landed on your feet, ain't ya?
0:20:22 > 0:20:23Look, may I speak?
0:20:23 > 0:20:26I don't know how you got the nerve after what you did to Kathy Beale.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33Yes, thank you, Mrs Taylor...
0:20:33 > 0:20:36Please, please can we just try and stay on the topic?
0:20:36 > 0:20:38Look, the issue, as far as I'm concerned,
0:20:38 > 0:20:40is about progress and people's fear of it.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42No, the issue is about fairness and choice.
0:20:42 > 0:20:46Sh. Love, I don't think they speak lesbian on the telly.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51- Now, that is offensive. We're not having any of that.- Shame.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55I much prefer Paxo.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58Mr Wilmott, the charges that are being levelled against your company
0:20:58 > 0:20:59are pretty serious.
0:20:59 > 0:21:03All right, Duncan Bannatyne, I'll deal with this.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05We can all run a leisure centre...
0:21:06 > 0:21:09..but this is Newsnight, love. I know how this works.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13Wilmott-Brown...
0:21:14 > 0:21:15Not my name.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17Just one question...
0:21:17 > 0:21:19did you take my last muffin?
0:21:22 > 0:21:25- Excuse me?- Did you take my last muffin, Wilmott-Brown?
0:21:25 > 0:21:28- Sorry, is that your actual question? - Did you take my last muffin?
0:21:28 > 0:21:30- Look...- Simple yes or no - did you take my last muffin?
0:21:30 > 0:21:33- Could we just stay on topic? - Answer the question, Wilmott-Brown.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35- Did you take my last muffin? - It's not about...
0:21:35 > 0:21:37- Did you take my last muffin? - I think...
0:21:37 > 0:21:39- Did you or did you not take my last muffin?- Mrs Taylor...
0:21:39 > 0:21:42- Did you take my last muffin?- Mrs... - Did you take my last muffin?
0:21:42 > 0:21:44Did you take my last muffin?
0:21:44 > 0:21:46Fine! Yes, I took your last muffin.
0:21:46 > 0:21:47And that is how it's done.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50Time for the weather.
0:21:54 > 0:21:59OK. I think maybe it's time we gave Ms Finch and Mr Wilmott
0:21:59 > 0:22:01a bit of a chance to have their say.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03Oh, right. Well, suit yourself.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06Mr Wilmott, none of the tenants were offered any say
0:22:06 > 0:22:07in where they would be relocated.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09Well, that is blatantly not true.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11You were all sent detailed letters explaining all of your options.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13Our lack of options!
0:22:13 > 0:22:16Well, if you can afford the rent, then nothing has to change.
0:22:16 > 0:22:17New batch.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22But, Mr Wilmott, the danger is you talk of progress
0:22:22 > 0:22:24while ignoring all the people who it negatively impacts.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27Exactly, Evan. We're being moved around like cattle,
0:22:27 > 0:22:28while his company profits from it.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31You make it sound like we're throwing you out on the street.
0:22:35 > 0:22:36Oh, that is delicious.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39Look, as far as we're concerned, this came out of nowhere.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41- Moist.- Look around you -
0:22:41 > 0:22:44you are living in one of the richest boroughs in London...
0:22:44 > 0:22:46- Moist and delicious.- ..and your building doesn't reflect that.
0:22:46 > 0:22:49- Moist...- But, Mr... - ..but still with a bit of a bite.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51Mr Wilmott, that doesn't automatically mean
0:22:51 > 0:22:53the homes have to follow suit, does it?
0:22:54 > 0:22:55I won't be a minute.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59This is the sort of the cold-hearted ruthlessness I'm talking about.
0:22:59 > 0:23:03- It's not ruthless, it's realistic. - It's injustice!
0:23:03 > 0:23:05JOAN FARTS
0:23:07 > 0:23:10JOAN CONTINUES TO FART
0:23:15 > 0:23:18Oh! That was one I didn't want.
0:23:27 > 0:23:31There is, of course, the very real issue of the locals
0:23:31 > 0:23:34who can now no longer afford to live in their own area.
0:23:34 > 0:23:35Exactly, Evan.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39We can all pretend there's such a thing as a free market, but...
0:23:39 > 0:23:41We can also pretend that...
0:23:43 > 0:23:45..that money isn't important.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47Cor blimey, crack a window, someone!
0:23:49 > 0:23:51She's poisoning me!
0:23:53 > 0:23:56Well, thank you all so much for coming in.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02Don't worry, love, they'll edit you out.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07Well, that's the end of the road.
0:24:07 > 0:24:10We did what we could. It wasn't enough, and I'm sorry.
0:24:10 > 0:24:15Oi, oi! Here she is! Victorious! Autographs later.
0:24:15 > 0:24:19Victorious? Have you lost your mind? You've absolutely annihilated us.
0:24:19 > 0:24:20How's that?
0:24:20 > 0:24:22Every ounce of credibility we had is gone.
0:24:22 > 0:24:25The campaign's dead in the water, we're a laughing stock.
0:24:25 > 0:24:26Well, that's a bit harsh.
0:24:26 > 0:24:30You farted on Newsnight...
0:24:30 > 0:24:32for 11 seconds.
0:24:33 > 0:24:36That could've been any one of us.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38Well, I for one would certainly like to thank you, Joan.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40Oh, what are you doing here? Come to gloat?
0:24:40 > 0:24:42No, not at all. I'm very grateful for what you did.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44Thanks to Joan here,
0:24:44 > 0:24:47you all now have one month to vacate your premises -
0:24:47 > 0:24:49- government-approved. - TENANTS GRUMBLE
0:24:49 > 0:24:51Oh...
0:24:52 > 0:24:55Still, be that as it may,
0:24:55 > 0:24:59are we all agreed it is in very bad form to take the last muffin?
0:24:59 > 0:25:01No-one cares, Nan.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04Do you not get this? We have lost our homes.
0:25:04 > 0:25:08Oh, where's your fight? This ain't over!
0:25:08 > 0:25:11Have I got to do everything myself?
0:25:11 > 0:25:13I hope you're pleased with yourself, Mr Wilmott.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15You don't know the meaning of the word community.
0:25:15 > 0:25:19Community? You people wear that word like a medal,
0:25:19 > 0:25:20like it means something.
0:25:20 > 0:25:26It means that we're good, honest, hard-working people
0:25:26 > 0:25:30who support each other no matter what our sexual orientation.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34Be we straight...
0:25:34 > 0:25:36lesbian...
0:25:37 > 0:25:38..Vietnamese...
0:25:40 > 0:25:41..head like a pig...
0:25:42 > 0:25:44..or prostitute.
0:25:45 > 0:25:50- Decent people who are prepared to fight to the end. TENANTS:- Yeah.
0:25:50 > 0:25:55No. Layabouts, abandoners, scum.
0:25:55 > 0:25:59Well, I must admit, I do agree to a certain extent.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01But nonetheless, it's time for action,
0:26:01 > 0:26:07and you will see us united in chains rather than give up our homes, right?
0:26:07 > 0:26:08- TENANTS:- Yeah!
0:26:08 > 0:26:13Oh, spare me the salt of the earth, we-take-care-of-our-own bit
0:26:13 > 0:26:14because I know you don't.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16And nothing makes me happier than to see
0:26:16 > 0:26:18the people who abandoned me get what they deserve.
0:26:18 > 0:26:19Well, I mean, look, these are a mess.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21What do you mean abandoned?
0:26:21 > 0:26:22Well, if you must know,
0:26:22 > 0:26:25I was born right here on this estate,
0:26:25 > 0:26:26but I wasn't raised here because...
0:26:26 > 0:26:28Well, because my mother didn't want me.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31That's the proud, upstanding community you're talking about.
0:26:31 > 0:26:33What a load of old shit.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36- So, did you ever find your mother? - No. Don't even know her name.
0:26:36 > 0:26:37All I do know is that
0:26:37 > 0:26:40she's a selfish, heartless, inconsiderate monster.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42Oh, and she had red hair.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47I mean, I won't let them beat me.
0:26:47 > 0:26:52Hold on a minute. So your mum was a nasty, selfish, abandoning woman
0:26:52 > 0:26:55who lived on this estate... and had red hair?
0:26:56 > 0:26:57What?
0:27:00 > 0:27:01Mum?
0:27:01 > 0:27:04Oh, don't look at me, love - mine was out of a bottle.
0:27:04 > 0:27:05Son?

0:27:31 > 0:27:32Ugh!
0:27:34 > 0:27:37Well, I can't believe this. I don't know what to say.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40Well, what I do know is nobody's going to Stoke,

0:28:22 > 0:28:26one of your lesbian mates up here, you know, love - I don't mind.
0:28:26 > 0:28:27I'm not a lesbian.
0:28:27 > 0:28:30I don't know why you're so defensive, darling.
0:28:30 > 0:28:32I mean, we were all at it during the war.
0:28:33 > 0:28:36- You had to. - Well, I must say I'm surprised.
0:28:36 > 0:28:37Oh, yeah.
0:28:37 > 0:28:40Me and Maggie Griffith, we were the first round here.
0:28:40 > 0:28:44And it wasn't as accepted, you know, like it is nowadays.
0:28:44 > 0:28:47They used to shout at us in the streets.
0:28:47 > 0:28:49"Look out! The lesbians are here!"
0:28:51 > 0:28:53Not lesbians, vegans.
0:28:56 > 0:28:59I must say, Joan, you've shown a lot of character this week.
0:28:59 > 0:29:00Oh, how's that, darling?
0:29:00 > 0:29:03Well, there's not many people who've torn up a cheque
0:29:03 > 0:29:04without even looking at it.
0:29:04 > 0:29:05When did I do that?
0:29:05 > 0:29:06When you turned down the 1.8 million?
0:29:08 > 0:29:09How much?
0:29:10 > 0:29:111.8 million.
0:29:11 > 0:29:14That's how much the cheque was for your flat.
0:29:14 > 0:29:161.8 million?
0:29:17 > 0:29:201.8 fucking million?
0:29:20 > 0:29:23I'd tear the place down with me own bare hands
