0:00:02 > 0:00:04This programme contains strong language

0:00:04 > 0:00:07It was supposed to be a small thing. Why did you have to invite so many people?

0:00:07 > 0:00:11- You agreed to a party, Ken. Parties require people. - No. I agreed to a gathering.

0:00:11 > 0:00:14Have it on a Sunday. Cut-off time, 5pm.

0:00:14 > 0:00:16Leave the evening free to watch Coast.

0:00:16 > 0:00:17Don't be such a grinch.

0:00:17 > 0:00:20How often do you get to have a baby naming day?

0:00:20 > 0:00:22Well, as it's a completely made up ceremony, I'd say...

0:00:22 > 0:00:24well, whenever you want. DOOR OPENS

0:00:24 > 0:00:26All right, Dale. You've been gone hours.

0:00:26 > 0:00:28Yeah, just got a lot on my mind.

0:00:28 > 0:00:29Worrying about Ling.

0:00:29 > 0:00:31If she'll ever be in touch again.

0:00:31 > 0:00:33I just...I started running.

0:00:33 > 0:00:35Before I knew it, I was in a place called Wolverhampton.

0:00:35 > 0:00:36The jewel of the Midlands.

0:00:36 > 0:00:38Oh, poor Dale!

0:00:38 > 0:00:40Anyway, booze, got.

0:00:40 > 0:00:42Snacks, got.

0:00:42 > 0:00:44All we need now is to decide

0:00:44 > 0:00:46who's going to conduct the baby naming ceremony.

0:00:46 > 0:00:48Oh, Chief Ken, Chief Ken, Chief Ken?

0:00:48 > 0:00:49Something you want to say, Dale?

0:00:49 > 0:00:51Please let me do this for Sid.

0:00:51 > 0:00:53He is the best darn baby uncle I have ever had

0:00:53 > 0:00:56and I would cherish the chance to repay him.

0:00:56 > 0:00:57I don't know.

0:00:57 > 0:00:59A lot is expected of the guy

0:00:59 > 0:01:01who does ye olde atheist baby naming ceremony.

0:01:01 > 0:01:03- PHONE CHIMES - Oh, what?

0:01:03 > 0:01:04Zoe's coming to the party

0:01:04 > 0:01:06and she's bringing her new boyfriend from uni.

0:01:06 > 0:01:07Ooh, bit awks.

0:01:07 > 0:01:09Oh, she's playing mind games, the bitch.

0:01:09 > 0:01:12Well, if that's what she wants, then this player's going to play.

0:01:12 > 0:01:13Oh, God.

0:01:13 > 0:01:15Play, play, play.

0:01:15 > 0:01:16Course you can do it, Dale.

0:01:16 > 0:01:18Ha-ha! Yes!

0:01:18 > 0:01:21I don't know what it is, but I'm getting started right now!

0:01:23 > 0:01:25HORN BEEPS OUTSIDE

0:01:25 > 0:01:26I know that car horn.

0:01:27 > 0:01:29HORN BEEPS

0:01:38 > 0:01:39Lorna...

0:01:39 > 0:01:43could you tell me why my dad's 1976 Triumph Stag is on the driveway?

0:01:43 > 0:01:44Ken, I might have forgotten to mention...

0:01:44 > 0:01:47I sent an invite to your mum for Sunday.

0:01:47 > 0:01:48Interesting,

0:01:48 > 0:01:51because I did expressly ask you not to.

0:01:51 > 0:01:52Ken, I didn't think she'd come.

0:01:52 > 0:01:54- Cooee! - SHE LAUGHS

0:01:54 > 0:01:55Oh, Lorna!

0:01:57 > 0:01:58Belinda.

0:01:58 > 0:02:00- You look lovely.- You, too.

0:02:05 > 0:02:06Kenneth.

0:02:06 > 0:02:09I see you drove Dad's car all the way from Spain.

0:02:09 > 0:02:11Well, not all the way.

0:02:11 > 0:02:12I had to have a tow through the Pyrenees

0:02:12 > 0:02:15after I blew the oil pump.

0:02:15 > 0:02:16You did what?

0:02:16 > 0:02:17I'm joking, Ken. Oh, God!

0:02:17 > 0:02:20He's always been so easy to wind up.

0:02:20 > 0:02:22And cars are made to be driven.

0:02:22 > 0:02:24Not this one. It is a classic.

0:02:24 > 0:02:25It belongs under a nonstatic tarp,

0:02:25 > 0:02:27only to be viewed by a select group of men,

0:02:27 > 0:02:29who have equal reverence for its beauty.

0:02:29 > 0:02:30Yes, well...

0:02:30 > 0:02:32I asked Alan and...

0:02:32 > 0:02:34he says he wants me to drive it.

0:02:34 > 0:02:36Well, as long as Dad's ghost thinks it's OK.

0:02:36 > 0:02:38Thanks for asking him, by the way.

0:02:38 > 0:02:39It always makes things so much clearer.

0:02:39 > 0:02:41Right.

0:02:41 > 0:02:43Now, where are my gorgeous grandchildren?

0:02:43 > 0:02:44SHE LAUGHS

0:02:47 > 0:02:48Cooee!

0:02:48 > 0:02:50- Oh!- Nan!

0:02:50 > 0:02:51Oh, hello.

0:02:51 > 0:02:54- Oh, you look amazing! - You, too. Listen...

0:02:54 > 0:02:57I meant to send you a card when you got married to that American chap,

0:02:57 > 0:02:58but, you know...

0:02:58 > 0:03:00Also, I meant to send you a consolation card

0:03:00 > 0:03:02when he fell off that mountain,

0:03:02 > 0:03:04but it slipped my mind.

0:03:04 > 0:03:06Oh! Shouldn't have said slipped.

0:03:06 > 0:03:08Well, the important thing is you're here now, so...

0:03:08 > 0:03:10Chief Ken? Is this the family matriarch?

0:03:10 > 0:03:11Yes.

0:03:11 > 0:03:14Mum, this is Dale. He's our...nanny.

0:03:14 > 0:03:16Dale, this is my mother, Belinda.

0:03:16 > 0:03:17Oh, Belinda.

0:03:19 > 0:03:20Behold.

0:03:20 > 0:03:22Your step great-grandson.

0:03:22 > 0:03:25Oh, what lovely manners. Hello, Dale.

0:03:25 > 0:03:27And this must be...

0:03:27 > 0:03:29- Oh, yes. The big guy. - BELINDA GASPS

0:03:29 > 0:03:30Oh!

0:03:30 > 0:03:34What a lovely fat baby!

0:03:34 > 0:03:37- SHE LAUGHS - Someone won't need a paternity test!

0:03:37 > 0:03:40Well, if he's anything like Ken, it'll all fall off aged two.

0:03:40 > 0:03:43And come flooding back age 16.

0:03:43 > 0:03:44What are you calling him?

0:03:44 > 0:03:45Sid.

0:03:45 > 0:03:47Oh, no. Bleurgh.

0:03:47 > 0:03:49Sid isn't a name. It's a noise.

0:03:49 > 0:03:51You should call him...

0:03:51 > 0:03:52Horatio.

0:03:52 > 0:03:55Oh, it's a perfect name for a fire sign!

0:03:55 > 0:03:58Lorna, speak to me. Horatio, does it suit?

0:03:58 > 0:04:00- Well, actually... - We are calling him Sid.

0:04:00 > 0:04:03Well, I shall call him Horatio.

0:04:03 > 0:04:05You can insist on being perverse,

0:04:05 > 0:04:07but there's no reason for your mum to rise to it.

0:04:07 > 0:04:11- SHE GASPS - Horatio. Horatio.

0:04:11 > 0:04:12Horatio...

0:04:12 > 0:04:14There we go.

0:04:15 > 0:04:17Nice strong brew for you, Belinda.

0:04:17 > 0:04:19- BELINDA GASPS - Thanks.- Kenneth?

0:04:20 > 0:04:21Go on.

0:04:25 > 0:04:27So...

0:04:27 > 0:04:29Mum...

0:04:29 > 0:04:32we should probably talk about the car, while it's on my driveway.

0:04:32 > 0:04:34You do remember Dad left it to me?

0:04:34 > 0:04:37Your dad said a lot of things towards the end.

0:04:37 > 0:04:39Once he told me he regretted ever meeting me,

0:04:39 > 0:04:41and that our marriage was a sham!

0:04:41 > 0:04:43Yeah, well... He did bequeath it to me, so...

0:04:43 > 0:04:45Oh! Out comes the fancy language.

0:04:45 > 0:04:47Can I at least take it for a drive?

0:04:47 > 0:04:50Absolutely not. Your driving? You're far too emotional.

0:04:50 > 0:04:51You get yourself all worked up.

0:04:51 > 0:04:53You're behind the wheel, Next thing you know...

0:04:53 > 0:04:55Just so you know, this happened once, in 1985.

0:04:55 > 0:04:57..your car's round a lamppost.

0:04:57 > 0:04:59- It was 1985. - Well, maybe not a lamppost,

0:04:59 > 0:05:00- but you crashed it.- It was 1985.

0:05:00 > 0:05:03- You should have seen the state of the bonnet, after he...- It was 1985.

0:05:03 > 0:05:04IT WAS 1985!

0:05:09 > 0:05:10Bequeath -

0:05:10 > 0:05:12"to hand down or pass on".

0:05:12 > 0:05:14It's a very common word.

0:05:14 > 0:05:16In the 16th century.

0:05:16 > 0:05:18We've had five wonderful years without her.

0:05:18 > 0:05:21Why couldn't she have just stayed in Spain, like an ordinary mother?

0:05:21 > 0:05:23Oh, Ken, she is nice.

0:05:23 > 0:05:27I mean, I know she has her funny ideas, but...

0:05:27 > 0:05:29You know she still calls those phone lines every day

0:05:29 > 0:05:31to hear her horoscope from Spain.

0:05:31 > 0:05:34Imagine growing up with a person like that.

0:05:34 > 0:05:35And then there was the...

0:05:35 > 0:05:37- ..singing thing?- Yes, that thing.

0:05:37 > 0:05:38Look...

0:05:38 > 0:05:40I don't mind Mum being a mentalist,

0:05:40 > 0:05:43if she is not being mental all the time.

0:05:43 > 0:05:46I mean, what was she thinking, driving that car around?

0:05:46 > 0:05:48Were you one of those kids

0:05:48 > 0:05:52that kept their toys in their boxes and never played with them?

0:05:52 > 0:05:53It depreciates the value.

0:05:53 > 0:05:55Give her a chance, love.

0:06:03 > 0:06:06Are your eyes still open and your arms folded?

0:06:06 > 0:06:07No.

0:06:10 > 0:06:13You know, you could at least let me help you set things up.

0:06:13 > 0:06:17Relax, Belinda! Everything is fine. It's just so great to have you here.

0:06:17 > 0:06:19- BOTTLES RATTLE - Ken's so pleased to have you here.

0:06:19 > 0:06:21Hm, I don't believe that.

0:06:21 > 0:06:23I'm afraid Kenneth will always be angry with the world.

0:06:23 > 0:06:27There's nothing so sad as a frustrated artist.

0:06:27 > 0:06:29How is Dad a frustrated artist?

0:06:29 > 0:06:32Oh, in his youth, your father was a wonderful singer.

0:06:32 > 0:06:34The voice of a little angel.

0:06:34 > 0:06:37I used to take him round all the local music festivals.

0:06:37 > 0:06:39Ooh, the performances he gave.

0:06:39 > 0:06:41Course, he gave it all up to spite me.

0:06:41 > 0:06:42Please tell me there are videos.

0:06:42 > 0:06:45Ken's Morning Has Broken...

0:06:45 > 0:06:47it would make your spirit soar.

0:06:47 > 0:06:50I would give anything to hear it again.

0:06:50 > 0:06:52Dad!

0:06:52 > 0:06:53Oh, Dad!

0:06:53 > 0:06:55So how come you made it this time?

0:06:55 > 0:06:57We haven't seen you for years, Belinda.

0:06:57 > 0:06:59Well, obviously, to meet Horatio.

0:06:59 > 0:07:01- Sid.- Whichever.

0:07:01 > 0:07:03The point stands, I came to see my family.

0:07:05 > 0:07:07OK. You can see through me.

0:07:07 > 0:07:10But you have to promise not to give me away.

0:07:10 > 0:07:11Absolutely.

0:07:11 > 0:07:13I am ace at keeping secrets.

0:07:13 > 0:07:14Well, the real reason is,

0:07:14 > 0:07:16there's something I need to tell Kenneth.

0:07:16 > 0:07:18Oh.

0:07:18 > 0:07:20No. He should know first.

0:07:20 > 0:07:23I need to find the right time. And soon.

0:07:23 > 0:07:25Why? Is there a deadline?

0:07:25 > 0:07:27Well, I suppose there is the one big deadline.

0:07:27 > 0:07:29And I'm closer to mine than most.

0:07:29 > 0:07:30SHE LAUGHS

0:07:30 > 0:07:33I'm talking about death, Lorna.

0:07:33 > 0:07:35Yes.

0:07:35 > 0:07:36Yes, I got that.

0:07:37 > 0:07:39HE SIGHS

0:07:39 > 0:07:40HE WHISPERS: You beauty.

0:07:46 > 0:07:49These tarot cards are powerful mystic tools,

0:07:49 > 0:07:51which will reveal secrets known

0:07:51 > 0:07:53- only to the gods. - DOOR SHUTS

0:07:53 > 0:07:54Oh, spooky.

0:07:54 > 0:07:55Oh, no.

0:07:55 > 0:07:57Not tarot, now, as well.

0:07:57 > 0:08:00- Dale, pay no heed to that nonsense. - Ssh, Dad!

0:08:00 > 0:08:03We're just getting started. Go on, Nan. Turn a card over.

0:08:03 > 0:08:04Very well.

0:08:04 > 0:08:06I will turn the first card,

0:08:06 > 0:08:08which is...

0:08:08 > 0:08:10IN MENACING VOICE: Death! Ha-ha-ha!

0:08:10 > 0:08:12- What?- Ken, it's not Death.

0:08:12 > 0:08:13It's the Two of Cups.

0:08:13 > 0:08:15Oh, sorry. My mistake.

0:08:15 > 0:08:16What does Two of Cups mean?

0:08:16 > 0:08:19We shall know more when the next card comes, which is...

0:08:19 > 0:08:21IN MENACING VOICE: Death!

0:08:21 > 0:08:23- Dad!- Oh, for God's sake. It's not Death.

0:08:23 > 0:08:24It's another two.

0:08:24 > 0:08:25IN MENACING VOICE: Snap!

0:08:25 > 0:08:28Oh, Kenneth. I know you've never believed in my third eye.

0:08:28 > 0:08:30- Not in front of the children, please, Mother.- Stop it.

0:08:30 > 0:08:33Your scepticism is terribly hurtful.

0:08:33 > 0:08:35I've helped many people.

0:08:35 > 0:08:36Yeah, Dad. Give over.

0:08:36 > 0:08:39Oh, sorry. Whoooo, spooky!

0:08:39 > 0:08:41Go on, Nan.

0:08:41 > 0:08:44So, Two of Cups, Two of Ones...

0:08:45 > 0:08:48Dale, I see a girl.

0:08:48 > 0:08:51And she is pining for you.

0:08:51 > 0:08:53With a love that is pure and undying.

0:08:55 > 0:08:58She has loved you for many months,

0:08:58 > 0:09:01though there have been obstacles in her path.

0:09:01 > 0:09:03- Yeah. - MYSTIC MUSIC

0:09:04 > 0:09:06And she will prevail.

0:09:06 > 0:09:08HE LAUGHS

0:09:08 > 0:09:10Yes! Wh..where? Where is she?

0:09:10 > 0:09:11She is...

0:09:14 > 0:09:16..to the East.

0:09:16 > 0:09:17Could be Shanghai.

0:09:17 > 0:09:19No, that... That doesn't sound very likely, Dale.

0:09:19 > 0:09:20I mean, what was that last card?

0:09:20 > 0:09:21The Sun.

0:09:21 > 0:09:24OK, yeah. I see how that's Easty -

0:09:24 > 0:09:26but could it mean somewhere hot?

0:09:26 > 0:09:28Well, it's an interpretation.

0:09:28 > 0:09:29Shanghai is hot.

0:09:29 > 0:09:32Or maybe it could mean that she's fiery or tans easily?

0:09:32 > 0:09:34Or has a sunny personality.

0:09:34 > 0:09:37I mean, can we be certain what this really means,

0:09:37 > 0:09:39or if that girl even exists?

0:09:39 > 0:09:41Nothing is certain with the tarot.

0:09:41 > 0:09:43Nothing! All meaningless.

0:09:43 > 0:09:45Ah, cool!

0:09:45 > 0:09:46- SHE SIGHS - Well...

0:09:46 > 0:09:49Dale, the ceremony's tomorrow, shouldn't you be...

0:09:49 > 0:09:50researching?

0:09:50 > 0:09:52- Yeah, should probably do that. - Yeah! Come on then.

0:09:52 > 0:09:54Thanks, Nan. That was lovely.

0:09:59 > 0:10:03Hello. Yes. Can I speak to my consultant, please?

0:10:03 > 0:10:06- SHE SIGHS - Well, I suppose another one will do.

0:10:06 > 0:10:09Hello. Yes.

0:10:09 > 0:10:10It's cancer.

0:10:12 > 0:10:13No, go on.

0:10:13 > 0:10:16Tell me what I need to know.

0:10:16 > 0:10:19Oh, God, that soon?

0:10:19 > 0:10:20SHE GASPS QUIETLY

0:10:20 > 0:10:23Well, yes. I was wondering about that moon in Aquarius.

0:10:25 > 0:10:27HE CHANTS

0:10:31 > 0:10:33DOOR OPENS

0:10:35 > 0:10:37- Hi,- Mom! Hi.

0:10:37 > 0:10:38You liking my props for tomorrow?

0:10:38 > 0:10:40- Yeah.- This ceremony is going to be so amazing,

0:10:40 > 0:10:42Uncle Sid's going to poop himself.

0:10:42 > 0:10:43Yeah, well, in all likelihood.

0:10:43 > 0:10:46- THEY LAUGH - Sorry. You were chanting and, erm...

0:10:46 > 0:10:48- and weaving.- That's all right. Here, come check it out.

0:10:48 > 0:10:50This is a tribal blanket I had to weave.

0:10:50 > 0:10:52- Oh.- Pretty cool.

0:10:52 > 0:10:55Yeah, there's so many ceremonies that name babies around the world,

0:10:55 > 0:10:56and they are all so beautiful,

0:10:56 > 0:10:58I figured, why not just combine them all into one?

0:10:58 > 0:11:01- Oh, right. Like a...like a mashup? - Yeah, exactly.

0:11:01 > 0:11:03Do you mind helping me run through it all?

0:11:03 > 0:11:05Yeah, sure. What you want me to do?

0:11:05 > 0:11:07- On the day, it's going to be me and Sid.- Mm-hm.

0:11:07 > 0:11:08So I figured I could be me

0:11:08 > 0:11:11- and you could be Sid.- OK.- OK.
