0:00:02 > 0:00:03"Dear Murray, I'm going away for a bit."
0:00:03 > 0:00:04- I've moved in with Abby. - What?
0:00:04 > 0:00:05By the way, did you find that memory stick?
0:00:05 > 0:00:07Er, yeah.
0:00:07 > 0:00:10Don't want me getting all suspicious again, do we, sweetheart?
0:00:10 > 0:00:12I'm worried about leaving Don on his own.
0:00:40 > 0:00:42Murray?
0:00:43 > 0:00:44Murray?
0:00:44 > 0:00:48I know you're here, because your car's here.
0:00:48 > 0:00:49GLASS CLINKS
0:00:49 > 0:00:52Oh, Abby's been very cavalier
0:00:52 > 0:00:56about mixing her recyclables with her non-recyclables.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59- Not very green at all. - What are you doing?
0:00:59 > 0:01:03I mean, the council colour-coded these bins for a reason, and...
0:01:03 > 0:01:05OK, I was worried about you.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07Yes, well, I'm beginning to worry about you.
0:01:07 > 0:01:11That film finished an hour and 50 minutes ago. I mean, where have you been?
0:01:11 > 0:01:14I went for a bite to eat with a friend. Do you want to see the bill?
0:01:14 > 0:01:18No, no, I believe you. It's just... It's ten past midnight. I mean...
0:01:18 > 0:01:20Do you have the bill, out of interest?
0:01:20 > 0:01:22Murray, this really isn't what I had in mind when we talked about
0:01:22 > 0:01:24me having space to do my own thing.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27I know, but it's been a week now. We haven't seen each other.
0:01:27 > 0:01:28Do you recall the discussion we had?
0:01:28 > 0:01:30- About boundaries? - Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32- The boundaries thing. - Uh-huh.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34So who were you with tonight?
0:01:34 > 0:01:36Someone from work, if you must know.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38- A paramedic. - Oh.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41That's mainly a...male job, isn't it?
0:01:41 > 0:01:43It was a woman.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46But there are obviously women who do it, too, which is...
0:01:46 > 0:01:49- as it should be. - Hang on.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52How did you know the film finished an hour and 50 minutes ago?
0:01:52 > 0:01:55I happened to be near the cinema, and...
0:01:55 > 0:01:57I saw you go in. Look, I can't help it. I miss you.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59I-I worry about you when you're not with me.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02You know, there's all sorts of weirdos around at this time of night.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05- Yes, hiding behind people's bins. - DOOR OPENS
0:02:05 > 0:02:07Do you want me to call the police, Bex?
0:02:07 > 0:02:09No, Abby, it's OK.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11Whatever he's saying, don't listen to him.
0:02:11 > 0:02:12You're looking well, Abby.
0:02:18 > 0:02:23Look, I just think if we spent some time together and chatted things through...
0:02:23 > 0:02:25Murray, I'm chairing a committee for the CT fundraiser at the moment
0:02:25 > 0:02:27and I'm completely swamped.
0:02:27 > 0:02:28So if it's all right with you,
0:02:28 > 0:02:32it would be good if I could get some sleep now that I'm safely home.
0:02:32 > 0:02:33Bex...
0:02:33 > 0:02:35Don't call it home.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37Good night, Murray.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54HE SIGHS I knew we should have parked down the road.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56- GLASS CLINKS - It's too far to walk.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16- DON:- Murray?
0:03:16 > 0:03:18Yeah, I'm in here, Don. Sorry.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20DOOR OPENS
0:03:20 > 0:03:23- Paula's on her way. - Oh, right.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25Er... Come to pick you up?
0:03:25 > 0:03:27I don't want to go.
0:03:27 > 0:03:31I know, but, you know, we discussed this, Don.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33You have to go back to your wife.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35This was just an interim thing.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38- I worry about you. - Oh, that's very touching, Don.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41I don't like the idea of leaving you on your own.
0:03:41 > 0:03:42Feel free to drop in.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44When?
0:03:44 > 0:03:45Soon?
0:03:46 > 0:03:49Have you read Divorce Deterrent
0:03:49 > 0:03:52- by Suranne Miles? - No. No, I haven't.
0:03:52 > 0:03:53How about Let's Save Our Marriage by Dan Gernon?
0:03:53 > 0:03:56- Been pretty busy, so... - I read them both last night.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00How would you feel about me helping you and Bex
0:04:00 > 0:04:02as a sort of marriage guidance counsellor?
0:04:02 > 0:04:06That's... That's... That's very kind, Don. It's a great idea.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09Um... Not sure that would...work,
0:04:09 > 0:04:12you know, with you being Bex's dad.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15- I'll be very discreet. - That's... That's...good to hear.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17You know, I'd just be concerned, and...
0:04:17 > 0:04:20do you not need professional qualifications for that?
0:04:20 > 0:04:22Maybe you should be talking to
0:04:22 > 0:04:24a professional marriage guidance counsellor, then.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26That a terrific idea, Don, but...
0:04:26 > 0:04:29Bex feels at the moment that she, um...
0:04:29 > 0:04:33Well, she's just very keen on...boundaries.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35Um...
0:04:35 > 0:04:39Just while she concentrates on her...charity event.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41Um... Tell you what.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44You could...buy some tickets. That'd cheer her up.
0:04:44 > 0:04:45DOORBELL RINGS
0:04:45 > 0:04:47Ooh, I think that might be Paula. Er...
0:04:48 > 0:04:51- Right.- Yeah...
0:04:52 > 0:04:56Might be... Might be easier for you to get that, Don.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04DOOR CLOSES
0:05:13 > 0:05:14Oh...
0:05:14 > 0:05:18Hi, Emma. Er, actually, I was, er, just wondering.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20Late notice, so don't worry if you can't,
0:05:20 > 0:05:23but what are you doing on Friday?
0:05:23 > 0:05:24Nothing.
0:05:25 > 0:05:26You don't want to check your diary, or...?
0:05:26 > 0:05:28- I'm free. - OK. Um...
0:05:28 > 0:05:29And if I've got anything, I can easily cancel it.
0:05:29 > 0:05:33OK. It's a fundraiser for the hospital, it's at the Adelphi.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35Quite a glamorous night, you know, blacktie...
0:05:35 > 0:05:38Oh, my God. I would love to go with you.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41It's the CT scanner appeal my wife's running, so...
0:05:41 > 0:05:43- Oh. - LIFT DINGS
0:05:43 > 0:05:45Good, well, er, glad you can come.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52- I thought you were separated. - Well, temporarily.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54But I really want the event to go well for her,
0:05:54 > 0:05:57so, you know, I'm putting a table together.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00- And will she be there, your wife? - Yeah.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03- Yeah. On a different table. - Fantastic.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06For her. To have her own table.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09Yeah... Shall I put you down for two tickets, then?
0:06:09 > 0:06:10No, just one.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12Just the one ticket? No boyfriend, or...?
0:06:12 > 0:06:14No, Murray.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25Can I put you down for the charity event, Nereesha?
0:06:25 > 0:06:28I don't think so, Murray. I'm not really feeling myself at the moment.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30- Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. - Usually,
0:06:30 > 0:06:33I'm the life and soul of a party, but these days...
0:06:33 > 0:06:34Yes, er...
0:06:34 > 0:06:36You know, maybe a night out will do you good.
0:06:36 > 0:06:40There's a harpist, I think, from the London Philharmonic,
0:06:40 > 0:06:42and a comedian, so...
0:06:42 > 0:06:45I hate comedians. Always so much pressure to laugh.
0:06:45 > 0:06:49OK, I'll put you down for two, then, shall I, you and Steve?
0:06:49 > 0:06:52Yes, all right, then, but we're not really talking much at the moment,
0:06:52 > 0:06:54what with our many unresolved problems.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56- Ah, yes... - Our sexual problems.
0:06:56 > 0:06:57- Right. - I think I mentioned them to you.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00You did, yes. I'll put you down for a couple, shall I?
0:07:00 > 0:07:02It's like lying next to a block of ice under that duvet.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06Y-You're vegetarian, aren't you?
0:07:06 > 0:07:08Yes, but he knew that when he married me. Why would that put him off?
0:07:08 > 0:07:11Well, it-it's just we'd have to let the caterers know.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16- Murray, can I have a word? - Oh, yes. Hi, Curtis. Er...
0:07:17 > 0:07:20- Everything OK? - Could be better.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23Pentratech have been on, something about a breach of their data protection.
0:07:23 > 0:07:24You did find that memory stick, didn't you?
0:07:24 > 0:07:26Yeah. Yeah.
0:07:26 > 0:07:27- Well, where is it? - Um...
0:07:27 > 0:07:30- I'll... I'll get it. - Good.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32And, oh, I need you to help me with something.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34I've got this appointment this afternoon.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37You don't have three £2 coins, do you, for the machine in the hotel gents?
0:07:37 > 0:07:39- No. No, no, I don't. - OK.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42Anyway, I need you to stand in for me for something. It's nothing much.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45Just a committee meeting for the CT scanner appeal people.
0:07:45 > 0:07:46- What? - The bank's sponsoring the event.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49I'd go myself, but this appointment came up,
0:07:49 > 0:07:50and I'd really like to go to that.
0:07:52 > 0:07:53- Do you have any change at all? - No, I don't.
0:07:53 > 0:07:58Sorry, look, the problem is, Curtis, Bex is chairing that committee.
0:07:58 > 0:07:59Yeah, no, I know. That's why I thought of you.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01Well, it could be a bit awkward.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03We're separated.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06- Really? - Yeah. I have told you.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09No, no, no, it'll be fine. Look, the committee's expecting us
0:08:09 > 0:08:11to cough up for a bigger room for their big event.
0:08:11 > 0:08:12You'll just have to tell them no.
0:08:12 > 0:08:16Well, it's just, Bex has been talking about boundaries and, you know,
0:08:16 > 0:08:18keeping a bit of distance from each other.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20Thanks, mate. Really appreciate it.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22Damian, have you got any £2 coins?
0:08:31 > 0:08:33Murray!
0:08:33 > 0:08:36- Are you on the committee now? - Oh, hi, Gina.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38- Er, just for today, I think. Yes.- Oh.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40You're looking well.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42Oh, well, adopting is the best thing that's happened to me and Jeff.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45- Oh, yes, yes, congratulations. Ohh...- Well, it was worth the wait.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48Hey, when are you and Bex going to start thinking about having kids?
0:08:48 > 0:08:50Neither of you are getting any younger, you know.
0:08:50 > 0:08:51Well, it's a little bit difficult at the moment.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54- Oh, are you having problems? - Yeah, something like that...
0:08:54 > 0:08:56Oh, Jeff and I were the same.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58Well, listen, I'll get you the number of the adoption agency, if you like.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00- Oh, no... - Oh, Marian, can I just...?
0:09:00 > 0:09:03I didn't think you were going to be here. Yes!
0:09:03 > 0:09:05I haven't seen you since Judith's dinner. Hi.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08INDISTINCT CHATTER
0:09:12 > 0:09:15Look, I'm sorry. It wasn't my idea. Curtis couldn't make it.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18- What happened to boundaries, Murray? - I know, but don't worry.
0:09:18 > 0:09:19You won't even know I'm here.
0:09:19 > 0:09:20Hello, Madam Chair.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22Oh, hi, Julian.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26Hi. Er...
0:09:26 > 0:09:28Murray. Bex's husband.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30- Oh, hi. - This is Julian.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32He's a director of Wolverton Invests.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34They've been huge supporters of the charity.
0:09:34 > 0:09:35Well, we do what we can.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38Terrific. Heh! I like that can-do attitude.
0:09:38 > 0:09:41Not the can-don't.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43Or is it can't-do?
0:09:43 > 0:09:44Can't-don't...?
0:09:44 > 0:09:45Can... Can-do...
0:09:45 > 0:09:49Right, thank you for coming, everyone. I suppose we ought to get started.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51Fantastic idea, Bex. CLAPS HANDS
0:10:06 > 0:10:09Um... This is Murray, everyone.
0:10:09 > 0:10:14Um... Curtis couldn't be here, so he sent Murray along.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16Looking forward to helping in any way I can.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20So, our first item is venue.
0:10:20 > 0:10:24Now, you may remember that we're looking to get a commitment from the bank
0:10:24 > 0:10:26to fund the larger room at the Adelphi.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29Er... Murray.
0:10:29 > 0:10:30Right, yes, er...
0:10:30 > 0:10:34Yeah, thank you for raising that point, Bex. Um...
0:10:34 > 0:10:36Great chairing, by the way. Er, I think our view...
0:10:36 > 0:10:40well, Curtis's, really, is that while we're happy to help the appeal,
0:10:40 > 0:10:42go the extra mile in any way,
0:10:42 > 0:10:44this particular mile...
0:10:44 > 0:10:47might be a bit too...extra.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49- So what does that mean? - Well, with any sponsorship,
0:10:49 > 0:10:51there is, of course, a ceiling,
0:10:51 > 0:10:54- and, you know, I think our view... - You're not paying for it.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57- No. - Well, we were led to believe
0:10:57 > 0:10:58that the funding would be available.
0:10:58 > 0:10:59Oh, look, honey...
0:11:00 > 0:11:04I mean, Bex... I mean, Chairman. Er, Chairperson. Chair?
0:11:07 > 0:11:09Forgotten what I was going to say.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11- How much money are we talking about?- Um...
0:11:11 > 0:11:14- It's £800.- I'll transfer the money this afternoon.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17Thank you, Julian. Thank you, that's so kind.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20- MURMURS OF APPRECIATION - Great!
0:11:20 > 0:11:21So, moving on, um,
0:11:21 > 0:11:25I'll be honest, the whole auction segment of the evening is...
0:11:25 > 0:11:26it's not looking great.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28We really could do with some bigger prizes,
0:11:28 > 0:11:29anything to add a bit of glamour.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31So any thoughts, anyone?
0:11:34 > 0:11:37How about some... celebrity involvement, you know?
0:11:37 > 0:11:39Well, we've thought of that,
0:11:39 > 0:11:41but they're quite hard to pin down for this sort of thing.
0:11:41 > 0:11:42It's just I know with my cycling club,
0:11:42 > 0:11:46we launched this Get On Your Bike appeal, you know, for child obesity.
0:11:46 > 0:11:47Oh, I heard about that.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49Joanna Lumley came, made a little speech, cut the tape.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51Yeah, we're really not going to get Joanna Lumley.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53Oh, I love Joanna Lumley.
0:11:53 > 0:11:57Sure, yeah, I love Joanna Lumley, too, but it sounds like a bit of a long shot.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59Yeah, cos I was thinking, for the charity auction,
0:11:59 > 0:12:02the prize could be dinner with Joanna Lumley.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04Yeah, we're not going to get Joanna Lumley.
0:12:04 > 0:12:05She's done wonderful work with the Gurkhas.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07And, actually, I've heard
0:12:07 > 0:12:09she's been very supportive of other projects in Brighton.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12Like my cycling club. In fact, my friend Grant's got her agent's number, so...
0:12:12 > 0:12:13That's a brilliant idea, Murray. Brilliant.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15MURMURS OF AGREEMENT
0:12:16 > 0:12:19So, you really think that you can get Joanna Lumley?
0:12:19 > 0:12:21- Absolutely.- Right.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26PHONE RINGS
0:12:34 > 0:12:36Hello?
0:12:37 > 0:12:39Yes, yes, er... Thanks for calling back.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41I got your details from Grant Hutchins.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44He was the one liaising with you on the Get On Your Bike campaign.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48Yes, him. Yeah, yeah.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53Oh, er, well, I'm...I'm sorry to hear that.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58Well, Grant's an acquired taste, I suppose.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01Anyway, this time, we were hoping Joanna might able to attend...
0:13:04 > 0:13:07No, no, Grant's not coming. It's nothing to do with him. Yeah.
0:13:09 > 0:13:13Yeah, no, no, understood. Sorry she felt that way. Um...
0:13:14 > 0:13:18In principle, might it be something that she'd be interested in?
0:13:19 > 0:13:21No, I promise you he won't be there.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26Right, so...I'll wait to hear back, then, shall I, or...?
0:13:28 > 0:13:31Booth. Murray Booth. Yeah. Thank you.
0:13:33 > 0:13:34Bye.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53Sorry I'm late. I couldn't find anything to wear.
0:13:53 > 0:13:54Everything made me look like an abattoir.
0:13:54 > 0:13:55Keeley, you look lovely.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57I've had it for years. I can't carry it off.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59Nonsense. Look, Belinda over there's wearing exactly the same,
0:13:59 > 0:14:01she looks fantastic.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03Oh, great, she's wearing the same dress!
0:14:03 > 0:14:06No, it's not the same. It's similar. But look how good Belinda looks in it.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08Belinda's 50.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10- Are you saying I look 50? - Is that the cake for the raffle?
0:14:10 > 0:14:13Oh... Er, yeah. No, sorry, I was going to do four tiers,
0:14:13 > 0:14:15but then I got another order and I got distracted.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17Basically, I hate myself.
0:14:17 > 0:14:18Hello, Keeley.
0:14:18 > 0:14:20- Oh, hi. - Love the dress.
0:14:20 > 0:14:21Oh, thank you, Murray. Thank you.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24Must be the latest thing. Belinda's got one just like it.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26God! Wrong cake, wrong dress...
0:14:26 > 0:14:29- What did I say? - Don't. So, Joanna Lumley!
0:14:29 > 0:14:31- Still on schedule. - I still can't believe
0:14:31 > 0:14:33- you managed to get her. - Yes, well, I think her agent
0:14:33 > 0:14:34found me pretty persuasive.
0:14:34 > 0:14:38- I've not lost my charm, you know. - Well, clearly not.
0:14:38 > 0:14:39This is fantastic, by the way.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42I mean, the room, the decorations,
0:14:42 > 0:14:44the internationally acclaimed harpist.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46You've done an amazing job.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49Oh, thank you. And thank you for bringing a whole table full of people.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52Well, you know, I just want the evening to go well for you, you know.
0:14:52 > 0:14:54Um...
0:14:55 > 0:14:56You look great, by the way.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00- You don't look too bad yourself. - Yeah, well,
0:15:00 > 0:15:02it's my speciality, isn't it?
0:15:02 > 0:15:04Not too bad. BOTH CHUCKLE
0:15:04 > 0:15:06CHUCKLES
0:15:06 > 0:15:09Oh, hello, Abby. Uh, doesn't the room look great?
0:15:09 > 0:15:10As do you.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13Just like the room, only...smaller. Um...
0:15:15 > 0:15:17- Bex, could I have a word? - Yeah, sure.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19Uh, I should flog some of those raffle tickets for you, Bex.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22OK, um, £1 a ticket, £4 a strip.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24Yeah, I may not strip. Heh!
0:15:29 > 0:15:31Do you remember what we said
0:15:31 > 0:15:34about not letting the fox back into the henhouse, Bex?
0:15:34 > 0:15:36Yes, but the fox has given us Joanna Lumley.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39He's still a fox, Bex. Just like Clifford.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41A bad fox. Bad, bad fox.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54What are you doing here?
0:15:54 > 0:15:56Oh, nice! First of all you say to come along,
0:15:56 > 0:15:58and then you leave a message to say there's no tickets.
0:15:58 > 0:15:59Who let you in?
0:15:59 > 0:16:01Sanj invited me. The cycling club bought a table.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04What time is Joanna getting here? I can't wait to catch up with her.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06- Now, look, Grant... - Is it a free bar?
0:16:06 > 0:16:09No, it's not a free bar! It's a charity event.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11We're raising money for a CT scanner!
0:16:11 > 0:16:13- PAULA:- Murray...
0:16:13 > 0:16:15I've been watching you across the room.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18It breaks my heart that you and Bex aren't together.
0:16:18 > 0:16:19I know.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21Um...
0:16:21 > 0:16:24You won't put any revenge porn on the internet, will you?
0:16:24 > 0:16:26What? No, no.
0:16:26 > 0:16:27Oh, good.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29- Murray...- Grant!
0:16:29 > 0:16:30- ..there's someone I want you to meet.- Oh. Oh, yeah...
0:16:30 > 0:16:34This is Florence. She's a marriage guidance counsellor.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36Right. Hello, Florence.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38- Hello. - I was just telling Florence
0:16:38 > 0:16:40- about your situation. - I'm happy to help.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43Well, that's very kind, but I'm not sure we're at that point yet.
0:16:43 > 0:16:44It's early days.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47Personally, I think the sooner you two get talking, the better.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49- Uh, Bex! Over here! - No, really, Don.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52Let's not bother Bex with this tonight.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54- Meet Florence. - Oh, hello, Florence.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57- Hello.- She's a marriage guidance counsellor.
0:16:57 > 0:16:58Now, I've agreed with Murray that we should
0:16:58 > 0:17:00get on with some sessions for you two.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02- What?- I'm not sure that was the plan, Don.
0:17:02 > 0:17:03They need help, Florence.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05I'll just get a pen so we can sort out some dates.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08- Dad...- Yeah, I was hoping to bump into you two.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10I've got that number of the adoption agency.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13Murray said you'd been having problems.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15Oh, no, no, when I said problems, I meant...
0:17:15 > 0:17:16Sorry, I'm getting mixed signals here.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19You're separated, but you're thinking of adopting?
0:17:19 > 0:17:20You're separated?
0:17:20 > 0:17:21- Yeah. - Oh, no.
0:17:21 > 0:17:22Only temporarily.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25But if you've separated, I really wouldn't recommend adoption.
0:17:25 > 0:17:26Oh, no. It would be terribly confusing for the children.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28Yes, children need stability.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31- No, no. We're not thinking of adoption.- Oh, sorry, Bex.
0:17:31 > 0:17:32It's just that Murray said you've been having problems conceiving,
0:17:32 > 0:17:34which is why I suggested adoption.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36- I haven't had any problems conceiving.- Oh, you're already pregnant!
0:17:36 > 0:17:38You're pregnant, but you're separated?
0:17:38 > 0:17:40Yeah, I think what's happened here is...
0:17:40 > 0:17:43If you're pregnant, I'm not sure you should be drinking, Bex.
0:17:43 > 0:17:44I'd have to agree with that.
0:17:44 > 0:17:45No, no. I'm not pregnant.
0:17:45 > 0:17:49But you're trying for a baby, even though you're separated?
0:17:49 > 0:17:52No. Who said anything about trying to get pregnant or adoption?
0:17:55 > 0:17:57Raffle ticket, anyone? Er...
0:17:57 > 0:17:59Sorry, can you excuse me a moment?
0:18:04 > 0:18:08Bex, you know, obviously, people have wanted to know what's happening with us,
0:18:08 > 0:18:12but I've not told anyone we're trying for a baby, you know...
0:18:12 > 0:18:13Not a great start to the evening, Murray.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15Look, Bex, I'm here to help, so...
0:18:15 > 0:18:18Yeah, well, it would be helpful if I could just concentrate on the event.
0:18:18 > 0:18:19Absolutely, yeah.
0:18:25 > 0:18:26Those two get on so well together,
0:18:26 > 0:18:28- don't they? - Hi, Tamzin.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31Yeah, well, they've been spending a lot of time on the committee together, so...
0:18:31 > 0:18:32Yeah. Yeah, you're right.
0:18:35 > 0:18:36- A lot of evenings together. - What?
0:18:36 > 0:18:40You're absolutely right.
0:18:40 > 0:18:44Bex has left you, and I'm pretty sure Curtis is having an affair.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46- I am going to have it out with them.- Tamzin, no.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49Uh, Tamzin, not now. It's Bex's big night.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51Have you met the other people on our table?
0:18:51 > 0:18:54Come and meet Nereesha. She's great fun. Come here.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01Bex, I just want you to know that if there's anything I can do
0:19:01 > 0:19:03to help you and Murray get back together, just say.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05Oh, thank you, Grant. Thanks.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07But if you are going to split, I would like my wedding present back.
0:19:07 > 0:19:08What?
0:19:08 > 0:19:11Well, no disrespect, but it was a present for you as a couple.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13Well, we don't know if we are splitting up for good.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15Well, if you do, I want it back.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20- Oh, it's a wonderful event, Murray.- Good.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22Glad you're enjoying it, yes.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24- What's happening afterwards? - After?
0:19:24 > 0:19:26- After it's finished. - Oh, I-I think people will...
0:19:26 > 0:19:28will probably just go home.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30Oh. I've booked a room here tonight.
0:19:30 > 0:19:34Have you? That's... That's good. Er, saves the walk home.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36Yes. They've given me room 488, which is funny,
0:19:36 > 0:19:39because 4's one of my favourite numbers, and 1988's one of my favourite years.
0:19:39 > 0:19:44The year I was born, actually. So 488 is an ideal number for me.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46- 488. - LAUGHS
0:19:46 > 0:19:48- Yeah. Yeah, it's... - Look, Grant...
0:19:48 > 0:19:49- Whatever. You can have it back. - Excuse me.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51Um...
0:19:52 > 0:19:53Can I help?
0:19:53 > 0:19:56Yes, Grant wants his wedding present back.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59Toasted sandwich maker. I thought a toaster was too obvious.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02I'll deal with this. Don't worry.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04- Toasted sandwich maker. - Grant...
0:20:04 > 0:20:06- What time's Jo getting here? - Oh, yeah.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08- About that, the Joanna Lumley thing.- Yeah.
0:20:08 > 0:20:09Yeah, you've got to stay away from her.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12- What?- She doesn't want you anywhere near her.
0:20:12 > 0:20:14- Yeah, right. - No, I mean it.
0:20:14 > 0:20:15Her agent couldn't have been more clear.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18She lays eyes on you, she's in her car and back to London.
0:20:18 > 0:20:19What are you talking about?
0:20:19 > 0:20:21We got on like a house on fire at that cycling club thing.
0:20:21 > 0:20:22That's not how she saw it. Sorry.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34Thank you.
0:20:40 > 0:20:41GAVEL TAPS
0:20:43 > 0:20:48So, I, er... I hope you all enjoyed your meals, er, everyone.
0:20:48 > 0:20:52Apologies, er, to those who were offended by the comedian.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55We'd just like to say that the views expressed by him
0:20:55 > 0:20:59were not those of the CT scanner appeal.
0:21:02 > 0:21:06OK, er, coming up next, the raffle!
0:21:06 > 0:21:08CHEERING
0:21:08 > 0:21:10Thank you.
0:21:10 > 0:21:14Everyone seems to be enjoying themselves except us, Murray.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17No, no, I'm fine. I'm fine.
0:21:17 > 0:21:21Murray, will you be honest with me? Do you find me a drag to be around?
0:21:21 > 0:21:23Well, I wouldn't use those exact words.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26Steve said I'm a drag. That's why he's not here.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29- We had a bit of a ding-dong. - Right.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32Things got heated. He said he couldn't bear being in my company.
0:21:32 > 0:21:33BEX LAUGHS
0:21:33 > 0:21:35- CURTIS:- OK, moving on...
0:21:35 > 0:21:37- Murray?- A drag?
0:21:37 > 0:21:39I think that's...that's going a bit far.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42It's just, I do find sometimes, when I'm talking,
0:21:42 > 0:21:45people come up with all manner of excuses to get away.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47Sorry, Nereesha. I did promise I'd help pack up the tombola. Sorry.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50- CHEERING JULIAN:- Oh, yeah, I'd love to.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53And thank you so much, Julian. You know, you've been so helpful.
0:21:53 > 0:21:54Oh, it's such a good cause.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56- And you've worked so hard. - Yeah, she has.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58SCOTTISH ACCENT: She's a bonnie wee worker.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00What's with the Scottish thing?
0:22:00 > 0:22:02I don't know. Don't know.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04- You remember Murray. - Yes, your ex-husband.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07- Still-husband.- I didn't mean to cause any offence.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09- No, no. None taken. - CHUCKLES
0:22:09 > 0:22:12Anyway, um, Bex, if you do fancy a night down the Admiral club,
0:22:12 > 0:22:13there's plenty of fat wallets down there.
0:22:13 > 0:22:14- Great, I'd really love that. - PHONE BUZZES
0:22:14 > 0:22:18Sorry, better get that. Joanna Lumley. Her agent. Uh, for me.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21- Sorry. One sec. CURTIS:- And our next number is...
0:22:22 > 0:22:25- ..373! - YELPING
0:22:25 > 0:22:27Oh, we have a winner!
0:22:27 > 0:22:28- Keeley Wilkie! - CHEERING
0:22:28 > 0:22:30Ha-ha-ha! Well done.
0:22:30 > 0:22:31The prize is...
0:22:31 > 0:22:36a lovely cake, er, freshly baked and donated by, er...
0:22:36 > 0:22:37Keeley Wilkie.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39- CHEERING DIES - Well done, Keeley.
0:22:41 > 0:22:44I-I don't understand. I mean, I spoke to you this morning.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46What?
0:22:46 > 0:22:48No, no. You don't understand.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50The whole event has been built around her.
0:22:50 > 0:22:56So, ladies and gentlemen, the auction is about to start,
0:22:56 > 0:23:00so please get ready to spend, spend, spend.
0:23:00 > 0:23:02CHEERING
0:23:02 > 0:23:04Fantastic.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06Thank you for...
0:23:06 > 0:23:08Bex...
0:23:08 > 0:23:11Can you sit down? I'd like you to sit down.
0:23:11 > 0:23:12- CURTIS:- Do I hear £20?
0:23:12 > 0:23:15- What's happening? - Joanna Lumley's not coming.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18No.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21- Can you sit down?- Please stop telling me to sit down.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23- What's happened?- I don't know. Her agent wouldn't say.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26- OK... - CURTIS:- So our first item is...
0:23:26 > 0:23:30So, she's not coming, and she's not going to do the dinner date?
0:23:30 > 0:23:33- No.- It was supposed to be the big finale.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36We would have got £500 for Joanna Lumley.
0:23:36 > 0:23:37- I know, I'm sorry. - It's no good being sorry.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39What are we going to do?
0:23:39 > 0:23:41Well, maybe someone else could be the date. How about you, Abby?
0:23:41 > 0:23:43Me? Don't be ridiculous.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45The people out there will be expecting Joanna Lumley.
0:23:45 > 0:23:48You're just as attractive as Joanna Lumley.
0:23:48 > 0:23:52Yes, but I'm not Joanna Lumley, am I? I wouldn't get £20. It's just absurd.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54Well, someone'll give you more than £20, surely.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56Are you trying to be rude?
0:23:56 > 0:23:59No, no, no. I'm just saying. You know, I'll give you £20 now.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01Murray... Murray, can you just go?
0:24:01 > 0:24:03No, no, look...
0:24:03 > 0:24:05Oh, my God, I don't believe it!
0:24:05 > 0:24:07The memory stick!
0:24:07 > 0:24:10The one that was missing. It's got all the Pentratech data on it.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12Oh!
0:24:12 > 0:24:14What a relief!
0:24:16 > 0:24:19Obviously, it's not quite as important for you. Um...
0:24:19 > 0:24:22Hey, I get that.
0:24:22 > 0:24:23I'll go.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31Thanks a lot, Murray. I've just spoken to Joanna Lumley's agent.
0:24:31 > 0:24:35Told him I was looking forward to renewing our acquaintance tonight,
0:24:35 > 0:24:36and he hung up on me. What did you tell him?
0:24:36 > 0:24:37Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
0:24:37 > 0:24:39- When did you speak to him? - Just now.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41And you told him you were going to be here?
0:24:41 > 0:24:42- Yeah. - Grant! What have you done!?
0:24:42 > 0:24:45- She's not coming! - CREAKING
0:24:45 > 0:24:47HARPIST MOANS
0:24:47 > 0:24:49- God, I'm so sorry. - What have you done?
0:24:49 > 0:24:51- You OK? Here... - I'm fine. I'm fine.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53- Here, come on. You all right? - I'm fine.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55- Leave me alone.- OK.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57No!
0:24:57 > 0:25:00STRINGS TWANG
0:25:05 > 0:25:08STRINGS TWANG, DULL ECHO Sorry.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10GAVEL TAPS
0:25:12 > 0:25:14As you were.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16GAVEL TAPS OK.
