0:01:32 > 0:01:35And you really thought maracas would sell?
0:01:37 > 0:01:40Please, for once, just focus. Now, if we sell...

0:02:36 > 0:02:38Oh! No! No, no, no, no.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40Much more gently than that. That's it. Just smooth it.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45Ooh! We're interrupting!
0:02:45 > 0:02:48Queen Kong, Gary! You were on the brink of a kiss.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50Totes brinkulating.
0:02:50 > 0:02:51- BOTH:- No!
0:02:51 > 0:02:53We're just friends. We are hanging. We are sorting it.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55"We" this, "we" that.
0:02:55 > 0:02:56Yeah, can you stop "weeing"?
0:02:58 > 0:03:02Oh! Can you stop "weeing"? Because of the connotation.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05No? Can you stop "weeing"?
0:03:06 > 0:03:08So where have you been?
0:03:08 > 0:03:10You're late for sherry and a slice night.

0:03:36 > 0:03:40Oh, putting "are we" after a fact to be passive aggressive, are we?
0:03:40 > 0:03:43Strutting like a rabid Smurf, are we?
0:03:44 > 0:03:47Got a bit of marzipan on our cheek, have we?
0:03:47 > 0:03:50Getting the "are we" wrong and saying "have we"
0:03:50 > 0:03:53instead of "are we", are we? I won!
0:03:53 > 0:03:56Oh, come here. You have got marzipan, actually.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58Are you feeling on the brink?
0:03:58 > 0:04:02Maybe a bit brinky, yeah. We must be brinkless Gary.
0:04:02 > 0:04:06Sorry, no brinking. It's just you were cutely vulnerable.

0:15:34 > 0:15:3511.30?
0:15:37 > 0:15:40- Well, that was the time. - Yes, what's your collateral?
0:15:40 > 0:15:42Oh, it's really high I'm afraid.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44I try and stay off cream.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47Yes, I think until you get a manager with a clear business plan
0:15:47 > 0:15:49- to assess all the... - No, wait, Mr Twist.
0:15:49 > 0:15:52I do have an idea that will be really profitable
0:15:52 > 0:15:55if I can just get my maracas out.
0:15:55 > 0:15:56- Not that.- Yes, I was going to say
0:15:56 > 0:15:59I don't think that would be very profitable at all.
0:16:00 > 0:16:04Right well, if Zumba is such a craze, yes?
0:16:04 > 0:16:07What about Maraca-class?
0:16:09 > 0:16:11Yeah?
0:16:11 > 0:16:12Look at that. Ooh! A bit saucy!
0:16:12 > 0:16:16Arms out, arms - look at that! Let's try it with music.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18SALSA MUSIC PLAYS
0:16:18 > 0:16:21Oh! Yeah?
0:16:21 > 0:16:23I am a one-woman fiesta.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26Imagine me with a Brazilian.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28Forget I said that.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33Any minute now I think you'll think, "Yeah, this is an idea."
0:16:34 > 0:16:36Oh.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44Was that Ross Kemp?
0:16:47 > 0:16:50Oh! They're repossessing the shop.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52On Friday. I've defaulted my mortgage payments.
0:16:52 > 0:16:57That is the final straw. You are an obese destitute.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59- It was panning.- Obese destitute.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02Can't write that in my newsletter, can I?
0:17:02 > 0:17:05Now you look here - Mummy will save the shop, manage the business
0:17:05 > 0:17:07if you come to Eaters Anonymous.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09Even the notion!
0:17:09 > 0:17:10Right. No Christmas.
0:17:10 > 0:17:14Fine. I do not want to hang with you and Dad for two days being subjected
0:17:14 > 0:17:18to Dad's yearly one-man performance of the Twelve Days of Christmas.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20No-one should have to see his maids-a-milking!
0:17:20 > 0:17:24- Darling, what about his five gold rings?- They are worse!
0:17:26 > 0:17:28But you could play with your father's present.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30I've got him an eye patch.
0:17:30 > 0:17:31PAD. iPAD.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35Why's it so irritating when they get it wrong?
0:17:35 > 0:17:38Stevie, Stevie, Stevie, I really need your help now, it's serious.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41You made it very clear your friendship allegiance is with Gary.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44I want nothing to do with her, friends forgive each other.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46Oh, bear with, bear with.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48Bear with, bear with, bear with.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52Stinky says there's a woman doing Banzai,
0:17:52 > 0:17:55that's bonsai with aggressive bushes. "Hurry...
0:17:56 > 0:17:58"..to get a place." Oh, this is it!
0:17:58 > 0:18:00This is me!
0:18:00 > 0:18:02Oh! Me too, this can be MY thing!
0:18:02 > 0:18:05Oh, well, fine. You go off and aggressively trim your bush.
0:18:06 > 0:18:10And I've got a new business associate. Introducing...
0:18:10 > 0:18:11Penny.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14- In your bonsai faces.- Nice!
0:18:15 > 0:18:16- BOTH:- Tripped.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19I meant to. I meant to go out like this.
0:18:21 > 0:18:25BOTH SING
0:18:29 > 0:18:33I am only doing this if you come to Eater's Anonymous.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35Yes, Mummy.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37It'll be such fun.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40You're all very jolly, aren't you, you...people?
0:18:45 > 0:18:46CLEARS THROAT
0:18:46 > 0:18:48Thank you so much for coming back.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51Now, may I introduce you to my mother and business manager, Penny?
0:18:51 > 0:18:54- Dick Twist.- I'm sorry?
0:18:54 > 0:18:55Dick Twist.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58- What's he saying? - That's his name. Dick Twist.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00- Dick Twist?- Dick Twist.- Dick Twist.
0:19:00 > 0:19:02- Dick Twist.- Dick Twist.- Dick Twist.
0:19:02 > 0:19:03Husk!
0:19:03 > 0:19:05Sorry.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09I am so sorry about earlier.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12As long as you don't get your maracas out again.
0:19:12 > 0:19:14Oh, Miranda! I am so sorry.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17No-one needs to see the mirudders as we call them.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22They move independently, she has the nipple equivalent of a lazy eye.
0:19:25 > 0:19:29Right. Do you now have a business model so I can consider this loan?
0:19:29 > 0:19:34I certainly am a model - Miss Goadalming, 1968.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37Gave it up to have children. So, that was worthwhile.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40Can you project for me profit and loss?
0:19:40 > 0:19:42# Profit and l-o-o-o-o-ss! #
0:19:44 > 0:19:47She's as incompetent as you are.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49Wait, please, Mr Twist, what are my options?
0:19:49 > 0:19:52Well, have you considered getting a partner?
0:19:52 > 0:19:56Oh, we have tried and tried, Dick, if you pardon the vernacular.
0:19:56 > 0:20:00She couldn't attract a partner if you shoved a giant magnet down her blouse
0:20:00 > 0:20:02and sat her next to a man made of iron filings!
0:20:04 > 0:20:07Well, unless you find a manager with a coherent business plan
0:20:07 > 0:20:11within the next 36 hours, the bailiffs will repossess.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16- Oh, no! Mummy!- Oh, heavens. You're going to get repossessed!
0:20:16 > 0:20:20You'd be a disaster in prison and by that I mean very popular.
0:20:20 > 0:20:25I know, we'll advertise on the interweb for a new manager.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27We've just got time before Eater's Anonymous.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29What's this?
0:20:29 > 0:20:33Chat With Lonely Oil Rig Workers.
0:20:33 > 0:20:34That's just spam.
0:20:36 > 0:20:40Hi. Just a couple of notices pre the weighing.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43Firstly, I've got a very heavy jean on.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46Secondly, my breasts are quite heavy.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49I know that because I once weighed them to see how much they cost to post.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51Just step on, please.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54Also, could we factor in that at least 10% will be wind?
0:20:57 > 0:20:59Make that 7.5%.
0:21:00 > 0:21:027%. Caught me unawares.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04- Get on.- Yes.
0:21:06 > 0:21:07I could be a jockey.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09Only if you had a massive horse.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14Gather. Gather, please, that's it. Gather, please.
0:21:14 > 0:21:18Now, today, I want to focus on a scenario to help you through
0:21:18 > 0:21:20this difficult Christmas period.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22So...
0:21:22 > 0:21:28which section to the left or right looks the most delicious?
0:21:28 > 0:21:30ALL: To the left.
0:21:30 > 0:21:31- No, try again. - ALL: To the left.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34# To the left, to the left... # Beyonce.
0:21:34 > 0:21:35# You must not know 'bout me
0:21:35 > 0:21:37# You must not know 'bout me... #
0:21:37 > 0:21:39Sorry. I think we're always going to say
0:21:39 > 0:21:41# To the left, to the left. #
0:21:41 > 0:21:43Tell you for why, it's got pies on it.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45High five me, man-boobs. Bam!
0:21:45 > 0:21:48So, now it's time for one of my mantras.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51If you ever feel like a cake,
0:21:51 > 0:21:53stop yourself,
0:21:53 > 0:21:54have a carrot.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59# Are you out of your tiny mind? #
0:21:59 > 0:22:01- Sorry, still a bit Beyonce! - Pipe down!
0:22:01 > 0:22:04Look I am just trying to help you help yourself.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06- Say what? - Help yourself.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08Thank you very much.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10No, not to the buffet, sit down!
0:22:10 > 0:22:11SHOUTING
0:22:11 > 0:22:14It's like Jurassic Park in leggings! Get back!
0:22:17 > 0:22:20- Stevie!- What are you doing here? - Running away from Mum. You?
0:22:20 > 0:22:22Running away from Tilly.
0:22:22 > 0:22:23BOTH SIGH

0:22:44 > 0:22:46Fetch the fatty!
0:22:49 > 0:22:52- Oh, you look ridiculous. - I have to hold them when running.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54Quick!
0:22:58 > 0:23:00CHOIR: # Sometimes in our lives
0:23:00 > 0:23:02# We all have pain
0:23:02 > 0:23:06# We all have sorrow
0:23:06 > 0:23:10# But if we hold hands
0:23:10 > 0:23:13# We know that there's
0:23:13 > 0:23:15# Always tomorrow
0:23:15 > 0:23:17- MAN:- # Lean on me

0:23:27 > 0:23:32- That's so my thing! I've found my activity, wasn't that me? - It was so you, maybe it's me.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35- OUT OF TUNE: - # Somebody to lean on. #
0:23:35 > 0:23:37- So not you.- So not me.
0:23:38 > 0:23:43Stevie, I can see the reporter. I'm going to... Right.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48CHOIR: # Lean on me... #
0:23:49 > 0:23:51Mr News Reporter? Sorry to bother you.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54I've got a really important question about your obesity report.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56You see, I was in it at the end.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58- Does that mean that I was part of it?- Oh, poor you.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01No, no, we wouldn't do that. No, we were panning across.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03No, I mean you're...you're lovely.
0:24:03 > 0:24:07Oh, gosh. Really? Thanks. Stop it. Really? Stop it. Lovely? Really?
0:24:07 > 0:24:12Stop it. Really? Stop it. Really? Stop it. Lovely? Really?
0:24:12 > 0:24:14Stop it.
0:24:14 > 0:24:16Stop it.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20Stevie! It was panning, I'm not obese!
0:24:20 > 0:24:22# She's not obese
0:24:22 > 0:24:25# It was panning. #
0:24:27 > 0:24:32No, Stevie hasn't replied. Well, at least we're friends, I'm meeting her for a coffee after this.
0:24:32 > 0:24:36We have one applicant. Patricia Nelson and her CV says
0:24:36 > 0:24:40"I am the one and only, no other I'd rather be."
0:24:41 > 0:24:43Good luck.
0:24:43 > 0:24:47Good morning. I'm Patricia Nelson. I have an interview at 10.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50Good morning, Patricia Nelson?
0:24:50 > 0:24:52Patricia Nelson, good morning.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54Good morning, Patricia Nelson.

0:25:01 > 0:25:03Thank you and kind regards.
0:25:03 > 0:25:06Well, I just have one key question really, for you,
0:25:06 > 0:25:07Patricia Nelson,
0:25:07 > 0:25:12what two main skills do you think I'm looking for, please, thank you, to you, please?
0:25:12 > 0:25:16Well, one, I can fall off a very high stool without injuring myself.
0:25:16 > 0:25:20And, B, I do a surprisingly effective Heather Small impression.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23Most excellent.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25Well, Patricia Nelson I'm so sorry to cut this so short
0:25:25 > 0:25:27but I'm actually meeting a friend for a coffee.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30- Oh, I, Patricia Nelson, am also. BOTH:- Isn't that weird?
0:25:30 > 0:25:33- Yes.- I look forward to hearing from you. Kind regards.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36Kind regards and best wishes hence forward to you.

0:25:41 > 0:25:44- Oh, hi.- Hi there. So what's new?
0:25:44 > 0:25:46Oh, I've just come from a job interview.
0:25:46 > 0:25:48Have you? How did that go?

0:25:49 > 0:25:54It was a she interviewing although hard to tell initially. Big hands.
0:25:54 > 0:25:56How goes it with you?
0:25:56 > 0:25:58I'm actually interviewing for the new shop manager.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01- Oh!- Yeah, just saw a tiny woman.
0:26:01 > 0:26:04Thought she was coming round for her Brownie badge.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07Well, I think my interviewer might have been wearing
0:26:07 > 0:26:09an elasticated maternity jean.
0:26:09 > 0:26:13I would have thought that very unlikely.
0:26:13 > 0:26:14They're SO comfortable.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18Well, will you just excuse me, actually,
0:26:18 > 0:26:22cos I've just got to ring my Jimmy Cranky-esque interviewee, so...

0:26:59 > 0:27:02I hadn't forgiven you, so here is me letting go.
0:27:02 > 0:27:03I'm sorry.
0:27:03 > 0:27:06- And I'm sorry that I never said. - No, it's OK. Friends?
