# We're not going out

0:00:020:00:04

# Not staying in

0:00:040:00:06

# Just hanging around with my head in a spin

0:00:060:00:09

# But there is no need to scream and shout

0:00:090:00:11

# We're not going out

0:00:110:00:15

# We are not going out. #

0:00:150:00:18

This programme contains adult humour.

0:00:180:00:22

Oh, are you and Toby still OK for our tapas night next week?

0:00:220:00:25

Yes, looking forward to it.

0:00:250:00:27

Oh, and talking of nights out,

0:00:270:00:29

last week, Toby and I paid a small fortune

0:00:290:00:31

for tickets to the ballet, and sod's law,

0:00:310:00:34

the morning after we saw it, one of Toby's rich patients

0:00:340:00:36

gave him tickets to the exact same ballet as a gift.

0:00:360:00:39

You know what it's like when these things happen.

0:00:390:00:41

Yeah.

0:00:410:00:42

Like that time I bought the box set of Touch Of Frost

0:00:440:00:46

and then they go and repeat it all on ITV2.

0:00:460:00:48

Right.

0:00:500:00:51

Well...it's tomorrow night.

0:00:510:00:53

The tickets are yours, if you'd like them.

0:00:530:00:55

Oh, wow! Thanks, Anna. That's amazing.

0:00:550:00:57

You don't think it will be a bit of a culture shock for Lee?

0:00:570:01:02

Any culture comes as a shock to Lee.

0:01:020:01:04

As much I'd like to see the look on Lee's face,

0:01:040:01:07

I really do have to dash. See you soon.

0:01:070:01:09

OK, bye. Thanks, Anna.

0:01:090:01:11

-What look on my face?

-We've got two tickets for the ballet.

0:01:110:01:14

That look there.

0:01:180:01:20

The only problem is, who are we going to get to baby-sit?

0:01:200:01:22

Why can't you ask your mum?

0:01:220:01:23

Because it's tomorrow night and that's her bridge night.

0:01:230:01:26

Oh, finally decided to chuck herself off one, has she?

0:01:260:01:29

I knew your dad would grind her down in the end.

0:01:290:01:32

And we can't ask Dad either,

0:01:320:01:33

because he's got some big, important dinner at the golf club.

0:01:330:01:36

-Well, ask a friend.

-I can't ask a friend.

0:01:360:01:38

Some of them don't know the kids or what they're like.

0:01:380:01:40

So? They're more likely to agree.

0:01:400:01:42

If we can't find a family member to do it, maybe we can't go.

0:01:420:01:45

All right, I'll ask me dad.

0:01:450:01:48

Your dad?

0:01:480:01:49

-Yeah. He's a family member.

-Are you serious?

0:01:490:01:52

Yes, I've got a DNA test from the Child Support Agency to prove it.

0:01:520:01:55

Actually, do you know what, Lee? You're right.

0:01:550:01:58

I'm being silly, aren't I? I'll just ask Anna to baby-sit.

0:01:580:02:01

-Sorry?

-Well, she knows the kids. She'll be great.

0:02:020:02:05

Oh. I'm assuming you've already asked the Child Catcher

0:02:050:02:08

from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

0:02:080:02:09

I thought you said it had to be a family member.

0:02:090:02:11

-And you said that was ridiculous.

-No, I said I'll ask me dad.

0:02:110:02:14

Yeah, well, that's the same thing, isn't it?

0:02:140:02:16

Look, I know I'm always banging on about what a waster he is,

0:02:160:02:19

but maybe it's time the kids spent some time with Grandad Frank,

0:02:190:02:23

get to know him, see what he's like as a person.

0:02:230:02:25

Maybe.

0:02:250:02:26

That way, when I'm slagging him off, they'll know what I'm talking about.

0:02:260:02:29

What do you reckon?

0:02:290:02:31

OK. But I can't say he'd be my first choice of baby-sitter.

0:02:310:02:34

Yeah. Well, he wouldn't be my first choice of father, but he is.

0:02:340:02:38

Come on, what's the worst that can happen?

0:02:380:02:41

Try not to think too much about that.

0:02:410:02:42

Dad'll be here in a minute.

0:02:510:02:53

What are you doing?

0:02:530:02:55

Nothing. Just having a bit of a tidy.

0:02:550:02:57

Oh, I see.

0:02:570:02:59

You're hiding the booze.

0:02:590:03:01

Dad is not going to come here and get drunk.

0:03:010:03:03

-Are you sure?

-Yeah.

0:03:030:03:05

He'll already be drunk. KNOCK ON DOOR

0:03:050:03:07

-All right, son?

-All right? What's in the bag?

0:03:110:03:14

I brought a little hair band, some ribbons and bows.

0:03:140:03:16

-Aww! That's nice. Molly'll like that.

-They're not for her.

0:03:160:03:18

They're for you to wear at the ballet.

0:03:180:03:21

Ah, here he is, my little Benji.

0:03:210:03:23

-That's Charlie.

-Oh, yeah.

0:03:230:03:26

You know, you're growing up that fast, I thought you was the oldest.

0:03:260:03:28

He is the oldest.

0:03:280:03:31

Hiya, Frank. Say hello to your grandad.

0:03:310:03:33

Do I have to kiss him?

0:03:330:03:35

Charlie, say hello to Grandad Frank.

0:03:350:03:38

Never mind Grandad Frank.

0:03:380:03:39

-I want you to start calling me Grandpops.

-Grandpops?

0:03:390:03:41

Yeah, that's what I used to call my grandad.

0:03:410:03:44

We thought it was nice that I had a cosy name for the bitter old racist.

0:03:440:03:48

Hello, Grandpops.

0:03:480:03:50

That's better.

0:03:500:03:51

Have you come to burgle us?

0:03:510:03:53

-Ha-ha! The questions kids ask.

-Yeah.

0:03:530:03:56

Have you come to burgle us?

0:03:560:03:57

Oh, here come the other two monkeys. Are you ready for some fun?

0:03:590:04:03

Are you going to teach us to play poker, like you did at Christmas?

0:04:030:04:07

Yeah, but I did give you some of the money back, though, didn't I?

0:04:070:04:11

Frank, I've jotted down a little list of things.

0:04:130:04:15

I've set the timer on the oven,

0:04:150:04:16

so all you have to do is wait for the ping and then dish up.

0:04:160:04:19

Pyjamas are all laid out,

0:04:190:04:20

and bed at eight o'clock at the very, very latest, please.

0:04:200:04:23

You forget, I've raised a child myself.

0:04:230:04:25

Have you? You never told me that.

0:04:250:04:27

Look, I know I let you down as a father, Lee,

0:04:270:04:29

but that's all behind us now.

0:04:290:04:31

I want to be the best grandfather I can be.

0:04:310:04:34

I promise you, Lucy, I would walk through fire for those kids.

0:04:340:04:36

Please don't.

0:04:360:04:38

-We're going to be late.

-OK, well, you've got my phone number,

0:04:380:04:41

-so if there's even the slightest problem...

-Yes.

0:04:410:04:44

I was talking to the kids.

0:04:440:04:46

Frank? We're back.

0:04:540:04:56

Well, the furniture's still here. That's a start.

0:04:580:05:01

Dad?

0:05:010:05:02

-Please don't say he's popped to the pub.

-I hope not.

0:05:020:05:05

Last time he did that, he was gone for 11 years.

0:05:050:05:07

You check on the kids. I'll phone his mobile.

0:05:080:05:11

Oh, you're back.

0:05:110:05:14

-Where have you been?

-Where does it look like?

0:05:140:05:16

Cornwall in the 1700s.

0:05:160:05:18

I've emptied your recycling bin.

0:05:180:05:21

I did a bit of tidying-up. Hope you don't mind.

0:05:210:05:24

-Oh, yeah.

-Yeah.

0:05:270:05:28

Me and the kids made a bit of a mess playing pirates,

0:05:280:05:31

but I tidied up, did a bit of hoovering.

0:05:310:05:33

Even changed a couple of light bulbs while I were at it.

0:05:330:05:36

Where's, er...? Where's Lucy?

0:05:360:05:38

Never mind that. Where's my dad?

0:05:380:05:40

She's upstairs.

0:05:400:05:42

Is she, er...? Is she OK?

0:05:420:05:44

-Yeah, she's fine.

-Well...

0:05:440:05:46

It's none of my business,

0:05:460:05:48

but when I was tidying up, I found a load of booze under the sink.

0:05:480:05:50

Now, I'll say no more, as long as you know I'm never far away.

0:05:540:05:58

That's probably why she needs to drink.

0:05:580:06:01

Oh! Hiya, Frank.

0:06:010:06:03

Dad's been having a tidy-up.

0:06:030:06:05

Oh, yeah.

0:06:050:06:06

What's with the face?

0:06:060:06:08

Well, after supper, we did some pirate face-painting,

0:06:080:06:11

and that wore 'em out before bath time.

0:06:110:06:13

Then we brushed teeth, read stories.

0:06:130:06:15

Shouldn't have done two, but they wouldn't let me stop.

0:06:150:06:17

And then they were fast asleep before eight.

0:06:170:06:20

Everything on the list is done.

0:06:200:06:22

So, do you need a lift home,

0:06:220:06:23

or are you just going to open up your umbrella and take off?

0:06:230:06:26

Well, I'll be off.

0:06:260:06:28

Any time you want to go out again, just say the word.

0:06:280:06:31

Well, actually, Frank,

0:06:310:06:33

Anna and Toby have invited us out next Saturday.

0:06:330:06:35

Oh, really? What is it this time, son?

0:06:350:06:37

Flower arranging or hopscotch lessons?

0:06:370:06:39

-It's tapas.

-Oh.

0:06:390:06:41

I was going to ask my mum and dad, but if you've got nothing on...?

0:06:410:06:44

Say no more. I'm looking forward to it already.

0:06:440:06:47

Oh, thanks, Frank.

0:06:470:06:49

I'm going to go and make myself a drink. Do you want one, Lee?

0:06:490:06:51

Why don't you have a glass of water with it as well?

0:06:510:06:54

What did you make of the ballet, Lee?

0:07:000:07:03

Was the principal dancer shocked

0:07:030:07:04

when you tried to slip a £10 note down her top?

0:07:040:07:07

Quite enjoyed it, actually.

0:07:070:07:09

Inspirational doesn't begin to describe its maverick approach

0:07:090:07:12

to this often more traditionally based piece by Jeremy Rogan.

0:07:120:07:15

I think Jeremy Rogan was the name of the reviewer.

0:07:150:07:18

EXCITED SHOUTS

0:07:180:07:20

So, everything still OK for our tapas night?

0:07:220:07:25

Yup. Lee's dad's all booked in to baby-sit.

0:07:250:07:28

Frank? Really?

0:07:280:07:30

-You sound surprised, Anna.

-Well, only because...you know.

0:07:300:07:33

What?

0:07:330:07:34

I've met him.

0:07:340:07:36

Well, to be honest, we were a little nervous at first,

0:07:380:07:40

but he did a great job the other night.

0:07:400:07:42

Well, good for Frank.

0:07:420:07:44

I think it's wonderful to expose the children

0:07:440:07:47

to...all different aspects of life.

0:07:470:07:50

I wish you had that attitude towards our son.

0:07:500:07:52

I recently took Jack on the bus.

0:07:520:07:54

I don't think the park and ride shuttle bus

0:07:540:07:57

to the Chelsea Flower Show really counts.

0:07:570:07:59

CHILDREN BICKER

0:07:590:08:03

Actually, Lucy, if you don't mind,

0:08:030:08:05

I think I'll just take the iPad off them.

0:08:050:08:07

Leave it, Anna. A bit of noise never hurt anyone.

0:08:070:08:10

And yet looks can kill.

0:08:110:08:13

Can you pass that to me, please?

0:08:160:08:18

-No.

-Come on, now, Benji, time to hand it over.

0:08:180:08:21

-Oh,

-BLEEP

-off.

0:08:210:08:23

What did you say?

0:08:260:08:27

-Oh,

-BLEEP

-off.

0:08:270:08:29

I beg your pardon?!

0:08:290:08:30

Don't keep making him say it.

0:08:300:08:32

Benji, where did you learn that word?

0:08:340:08:36

Grandpops said it.

0:08:360:08:37

Go to your room right now.

0:08:400:08:42

Anna, I'm so, so sorry.

0:08:440:08:46

It's fine, really.

0:08:460:08:48

Don't believe her. She says that to me.

0:08:480:08:51

Anyway, we really need to be on our way. Jack...

0:08:510:08:55

Not because of what just happened, I hope.

0:08:550:08:57

Yeah, you don't have to leave just because Benji told you to.

0:08:570:08:59

-Toby, I'm so, so sorry.

-Don't worry about it.

0:09:030:09:06

It's nice to hear someone finally pluck up the courage to tell her.

0:09:060:09:08

I knew we should never have let your dad baby-sit.

0:09:120:09:15

We need to get him round right now

0:09:150:09:16

and see what he has to say for himself.

0:09:160:09:18

Get him round? That's overreacting a bit, isn't it?

0:09:180:09:20

Oh, so you think it's acceptable to swear in front of young children?

0:09:200:09:23

I never said that, but I'm sure he didn't mean any harm.

0:09:230:09:25

It's... It's just a cultural thing.

0:09:250:09:27

Oh, don't start all that "pushing your bike up the cobbles

0:09:270:09:31

"to see your auntie, who was a one-eyed prostitute" claptrap.

0:09:310:09:35

Bad language is bad language.

0:09:350:09:37

Look, he's coming over again on Saturday, anyway, to baby-sit,

0:09:370:09:39

so I'll have a chat with him then, so it's less of a big deal.

0:09:390:09:43

You're not serious?

0:09:430:09:44

There's no way that he's baby-sitting again.

0:09:440:09:47

-What, because of one swearword?

-That we know of.

0:09:470:09:49

Who knows what other words he might have used.

0:09:490:09:52

All right, let's get Benji down,

0:09:520:09:53

read out a list and see which other ones he recognises.

0:09:530:09:56

I'm serious. There is no way that Frank is baby-sitting again.

0:09:560:09:59

-Either you can tell him or I will.

-All right, I will tell him.

0:09:590:10:02

And make sure you let him know exactly the reasons why.

0:10:020:10:04

It's important the message gets across and he knows we're not happy.

0:10:040:10:07

Maybe we should get Benji to tell him.

0:10:070:10:09

Dad...

0:10:180:10:19

Thank you.

0:10:190:10:20

Oh, "Barista".

0:10:200:10:22

That's a very pretty name.

0:10:220:10:23

Dad, about this baby-sitting on Saturday.

0:10:260:10:29

Yes, I'm really looking forward to it, son.

0:10:290:10:31

Look what I've made the kids.

0:10:310:10:33

It's a map of hidden treasure.

0:10:330:10:35

I said I'd go in the garden and help 'em to dig it up.

0:10:350:10:38

-X marks the spot.

-You might want to move that a bit.

0:10:380:10:40

That's close to where we buried the cat.

0:10:400:10:43

The thing is...

0:10:430:10:44

When you and Lucy said to me I'd done a good job,

0:10:440:10:46

it meant the world to me, son.

0:10:460:10:48

Those kids, they didn't see me as some daft old man

0:10:500:10:53

who were always messing things up.

0:10:530:10:54

They saw me as Captain Grandpops,

0:10:540:10:57

head of the pirate fleet,

0:10:570:10:59

-and I swore there and then...

-I know you did.

0:10:590:11:02

..I swore I wouldn't let them kids down the way I let you down.

0:11:020:11:05

I can't wait to baby-sit again.

0:11:050:11:07

Right. The thing is...

0:11:090:11:11

What?

0:11:140:11:16

We don't want you to baby-sit on Saturday.

0:11:160:11:19

Why not? What have I done wrong this time?

0:11:190:11:22

Nothing. Nothing at all.

0:11:260:11:29

You did a great job and we want to use you again very soon.

0:11:290:11:33

It's just that Toby and Anna have had to cancel the tapas night

0:11:330:11:36

because they're going on a last-minute trip to Spain.

0:11:360:11:40

Obviously, they wanted to taste the real thing.

0:11:400:11:43

As long as you were pleased with me baby-sitting the other day.

0:11:430:11:46

Dad, you did a brilliant job.

0:11:460:11:48

Thanks, son. That means a lot to me. I'll get off.

0:11:480:11:51

-Oh, hello.

-Oh, for...

0:11:510:11:53

Hi, Toby. Looking forward to going away?

0:11:530:11:57

I was just explaining to my dad why he can't baby-sit this weekend.

0:11:570:12:01

Oh, I see.

0:12:010:12:02

Persona non grata, eh, Frank?

0:12:020:12:04

Oh, practise the language before you get there, eh?

0:12:040:12:07

I've explained that the evening's cancelled

0:12:070:12:09

because you and Anna are going abroad this weekend.

0:12:090:12:12

Oh, yes. That's right.

0:12:120:12:14

Italy.

0:12:140:12:15

Lee said Spain.

0:12:160:12:18

Well, it's sort of on the Spanish-Italian border, isn't it?

0:12:180:12:21

Yeah, there's nothing like a bracing swim across the Mediterranean

0:12:230:12:26

to whet the appetite.

0:12:260:12:29

Well, I'll see you later.

0:12:290:12:30

-It was just one little white lie.

-I'm not bothered about that.

0:12:310:12:34

I'm bothered about the four-letter word

0:12:340:12:37

my Jack can't stop saying since your son taught it to him.

0:12:370:12:40

Yesterday he told both the cleaner and the gardener to eff off.

0:12:400:12:44

If either of them spoke English, we would be mortified.

0:12:440:12:47

So I'm assuming you were meant to confront your dad about it just now

0:12:490:12:52

and you chickened out.

0:12:520:12:54

No, I didn't chicken out.

0:12:540:12:56

I just happen to think my dad is a bit of a new man.

0:12:560:12:58

I think he's got something to offer. Look at this.

0:12:580:13:01

Don't trust him. You'll be digging for ages.

0:13:010:13:03

There'll be nothing there.

0:13:030:13:05

He never did stuff like this for me when I was a kid.

0:13:050:13:07

I honestly think he might be changing,

0:13:070:13:09

and I am not going to punish him for one simple mistake.

0:13:090:13:12

So, no, I didn't chicken out,

0:13:120:13:14

cos I don't chicken out of difficult conversations.

0:13:140:13:17

So you're going to tell Lucy what just happened?

0:13:170:13:20

Am I hell! She'll bloody kill me.

0:13:200:13:22

Oh, we'd better get a move on.

0:13:320:13:33

Anna and Toby are picking us up soon.

0:13:330:13:35

Still can't believe we cancelled me dad baby-sitting.

0:13:350:13:37

And I can't believe he's had all week

0:13:370:13:39

and still hasn't phoned me to apologise.

0:13:390:13:41

Well...he's ashamed.

0:13:410:13:43

He's never felt shame before.

0:13:430:13:45

It's like three-ply quilted toilet paper.

0:13:450:13:47

He hadn't felt that till last year.

0:13:470:13:49

Well, as long as you made it perfectly clear

0:13:490:13:52

that we weren't happy.

0:13:520:13:53

I couldn't have been clearer.

0:13:530:13:55

I even folded my arms when I said it. I learnt from the master.

0:13:550:13:58

I don't do that.

0:13:580:13:59

You always do that. Arms folded for serious.

0:13:590:14:02

Weight on the left leg for really serious.

0:14:020:14:05

And if you add on a, "I beg your pardon?!"

0:14:050:14:08

I know it's time to hit the eject button.

0:14:080:14:11

I'm not joking, Lee.

0:14:110:14:13

I know. I made it very clear when I told him.

0:14:130:14:16

In fact, he was so embarrassed about the swearing,

0:14:160:14:19

he said that if it ever gets brought up again in conversation,

0:14:190:14:22

he'll pretend to know nothing about it.

0:14:220:14:24

So it's probably best to never, ever mention it to him again, ever.

0:14:240:14:29

At all.

0:14:290:14:30

Well, I suppose it would make it less awkward.

0:14:300:14:32

Oh, it certainly would.

0:14:320:14:34

-KNOCK ON DOOR

-Oh, that'll be Mum and Dad.

0:14:340:14:36

Mm, I thought the temperature had suddenly dropped.

0:14:360:14:38

Hello, Lucy, love.

0:14:420:14:43

Oh.

0:14:430:14:45

Hi, Frank. We weren't expecting you.

0:14:450:14:47

I know, but you've no need to worry. I'm not baby-sitting.

0:14:470:14:50

It's cancelled. Lee explained.

0:14:500:14:52

Good.

0:14:520:14:53

Well, I hope you understand the situation.

0:14:530:14:55

Well, these things happen. It's no big deal.

0:14:550:14:58

It's nice for them to have new experiences, new language,

0:14:580:15:00

that sort of thing.

0:15:000:15:02

Dad...

0:15:050:15:06

Just brought these things for the kids.

0:15:060:15:08

Right. That's very kind of you. See you later.

0:15:080:15:11

No, no, wait... Don't you want to know what it is?

0:15:110:15:14

Let me guess.

0:15:140:15:15

Is it a DVD of Shaun Ryder doing Jackanory?

0:15:150:15:18

It's just a few pirate costumes that I got from the pound shop.

0:15:180:15:21

-What's going on? Why have you got dressed up?

-I haven't.

0:15:210:15:25

You have. I can smell toothpaste.

0:15:250:15:27

-Are you going out?

-No.

0:15:280:15:30

-Yes, we are.

-Oh, sorry.

0:15:300:15:31

Um, I forgot to say, Toby and Anna cancelled at the last minute.

0:15:310:15:34

Gone to Spain.

0:15:340:15:36

I only spoke to Anna 20 minutes ago.

0:15:360:15:38

Well, like I say, it was very last-minute.

0:15:380:15:41

Is there another reason why you cancelled me?

0:15:410:15:43

You know very well why we cancelled you.

0:15:430:15:46

Well, you should know, anyway.

0:15:460:15:48

Yeah, but we agreed to forget about that, didn't we?

0:15:480:15:50

-Forget what?

-That's the spirit.

0:15:500:15:52

You didn't tell him, did you?

0:15:530:15:55

What the hell's going on?

0:15:550:15:56

"What the hell"? Frank, you missed your favourite word.

0:15:560:16:00

I'm sorry?

0:16:000:16:01

He's apologised. Let's move on.

0:16:010:16:04

Clearly, Lee didn't have the guts, Frank, so I'll tell you.

0:16:040:16:06

The day after you were here, Benji told my friend Anna to eff off.

0:16:060:16:10

Well, I can see his point.

0:16:100:16:11

Why's that my fault?

0:16:130:16:14

Because he heard you using the word when you baby-sat.

0:16:140:16:17

He most certainly did not, cos I never said it.

0:16:170:16:19

Well, that's not what Benji says.

0:16:190:16:21

Look, can we talk about this later? We're on our way out.

0:16:210:16:23

No, no, no, no.

0:16:230:16:24

You two are going nowhere till we get to the bottom of this.

0:16:240:16:26

KNOCK ON DOOR

0:16:260:16:28

Whoever that is, you can tell 'em to go and get...

0:16:280:16:30

All right, you're not helping your case.

0:16:300:16:32

-Hello.

-Oh, good(!) This'll help calm things down.

0:16:330:16:37

Oh, I see.

0:16:370:16:38

You've invited the respectable side of the family to baby-sit, have you?

0:16:380:16:41

That's right, Frank. Turned out Roy Chubby Brown wasn't available.

0:16:410:16:45

I was first choice, you know?

0:16:450:16:47

Really? You never mentioned that to us, darling.

0:16:470:16:49

Why should she mention it?

0:16:490:16:50

I've got as much right to baby-sit as you.

0:16:500:16:53

Am I right in assuming our untimely entrance has come mid-altercation?

0:16:530:16:57

Now, that's the kind of language you want to keep your kids away from.

0:16:570:17:01

What's going on?

0:17:010:17:03

Frank baby-sat last weekend.

0:17:030:17:05

Two weekends in a row?

0:17:050:17:06

We haven't done anything wrong, have we, Lucy?

0:17:060:17:08

Of course not, unlike Frank.

0:17:080:17:10

He swore in front of Benji,

0:17:100:17:12

and the next day, he repeated it in front of Anna.

0:17:120:17:14

Disgraceful behaviour, although I'd be lying if I said I was surprised.

0:17:140:17:18

Don't you look down your nose at me, you middle-class ponce.

0:17:180:17:21

All right, there's no need for that, Dad.

0:17:210:17:23

You would say that, wouldn't you?

0:17:230:17:25

Cos you've turned into a middle-class ponce, too.

0:17:250:17:27

-No, I've not. I'm still working-class.

-Oh, yeah(!)

0:17:270:17:30

You're like a matchstick man...

0:17:300:17:31

in a Lowry painting with your flat cap and your clogs,

0:17:310:17:34

off to get a tapas while you're going to the ballet.

0:17:340:17:37

-Don't start making this about me. I've not changed.

-Course you have.

0:17:370:17:41

How long is it since you lived off your wits,

0:17:410:17:43

when you wondered where your next meal were coming from?

0:17:430:17:45

Sorry, Dad. I said I was working-class, not Oliver Twist.

0:17:450:17:50

Got nothing to do with class.

0:17:500:17:52

Swearing in front of children is simply not acceptable.

0:17:520:17:54

I never swore.

0:17:540:17:56

Maybe you didn't realise you'd said it.

0:17:560:17:57

The kids were probably in the other room.

0:17:570:17:59

It's never an excuse, ever.

0:17:590:18:01

Geoffrey, we can't wrap the kids in cotton wool.

0:18:010:18:03

No, but maybe you can plug their ears with it when Frank's here.

0:18:030:18:06

I can't believe you didn't ask us to baby-sit.

0:18:060:18:08

I would have cancelled my bridge night.

0:18:080:18:10

You should have just asked.

0:18:100:18:11

Given all the times we've looked after them, it seems a bit much

0:18:110:18:14

that we've now become second choice to...his side of the family.

0:18:140:18:17

Oh, sorry, me? I thought Genghis Khan had walked in.

0:18:180:18:21

-You're not second choice.

-Is that right?

0:18:210:18:25

Yeah, Anna was second choice. You were third choice.

0:18:250:18:27

This is your fault we weren't asked first.

0:18:280:18:31

I told you Nick Faldo's autobiography

0:18:310:18:33

does not make a good bedtime story.

0:18:330:18:35

Don't start on me.

0:18:350:18:36

I'm not the one swearing at my grandchildren.

0:18:360:18:39

Neither am I.

0:18:390:18:40

Sorry, Frank? You calling my grandson a liar?

0:18:400:18:43

-Maybe.

-Why would he lie about something like that?

0:18:430:18:46

I don't know.

0:18:460:18:47

Maybe your daughter's not bringing him up properly.

0:18:470:18:50

I beg your pardon?!

0:18:530:18:56

Dad, it's time to hit the eject button.

0:18:570:19:00

Right, that's it. Benji, get in here right now.

0:19:000:19:03

-There's no need for this. Dad's not on trial.

-Exactly. I object.

0:19:030:19:06

Overruled.

0:19:060:19:07

Benji,

0:19:070:19:10

do you remember that bad word you said to Anna?

0:19:100:19:12

-Yes, it was... BOTH:

-No!

0:19:120:19:14

Don't say it.

0:19:140:19:16

Just tell us again where you heard it first.

0:19:160:19:18

Grandpops said it.

0:19:180:19:20

Will the defendant please rise?

0:19:200:19:23

Oh, sorry.

0:19:230:19:25

You're already stood up.

0:19:250:19:26

Not that grandpops.

0:19:280:19:30

That grandpops.

0:19:300:19:32

But that's not Grandpops.

0:19:360:19:39

That's Grandad.

0:19:390:19:40

Charlie told me we were supposed to call them both Grandpops

0:19:400:19:43

from now on.

0:19:430:19:44

No, that's only Grandad Frank.

0:19:440:19:46

Oh. My bad.

0:19:460:19:48

Hang on a minute. Grandad Geoffrey didn't even baby-sit last week.

0:19:490:19:52

It wasn't last week I heard him say the word.

0:19:520:19:55

It was another time.

0:19:550:19:56

We were at his house and he was on the phone.

0:19:560:19:58

-Can I go into the garden now?

-Yes.

0:20:000:20:03

Can I come?

0:20:040:20:05

Can I just say...? I agree with every word that Lucy's saying.

0:20:070:20:11

I think that swearing is a terrible thing to do around young kiddies.

0:20:110:20:15

Obviously there's been some mistake.

0:20:150:20:18

Geoffrey doesn't use language like that.

0:20:180:20:20

-Sorry, Wendy, are you calling my grandson a liar?

-Dad?

0:20:200:20:23

How am I supposed to keep track of every word I say?

0:20:230:20:26

Oh, so you eff and jeff all the time, do you, Effy Geoffy?

0:20:260:20:29

Dad, did you swear in front of Benji, yes or no?

0:20:300:20:34

You never gave me multiple choice.

0:20:340:20:36

Well, now you come to mention it, there was a...

0:20:360:20:39

a terse phone call I made to the golf club

0:20:390:20:41

about them changing my seating arrangements at the dinner.

0:20:410:20:44

I did use some rather brisk language.

0:20:440:20:47

I thought the children were out of earshot in the other room.

0:20:470:20:50

Oh, never an excuse, Geoffrey, ever.

0:20:500:20:53

Frank, I am so very, very sorry for accusing you, and so's my dad.

0:20:540:20:59

Is he? I must have missed that. Could you repeat it, Geoffrey?

0:21:000:21:05

Dad?

0:21:050:21:06

Believe me, I really do wish this hadn't happened.

0:21:060:21:10

Still waiting.

0:21:110:21:12

Go on, Geoffrey.

0:21:130:21:15

Frank...

0:21:150:21:17

I'm sorry for any distress I might have caused.

0:21:170:21:20

I only hope it's offset by the immense self-satisfaction

0:21:200:21:23

I can see plastered all over your face

0:21:230:21:26

now that you're experiencing the novelty of the moral high ground.

0:21:260:21:30

Well, I'd take that, Dad. It's as good as you're going to get.

0:21:320:21:35

Well, I'm glad we got all that sorted out.

0:21:350:21:37

Maybe we should have a clearer system from now on.

0:21:370:21:39

You should be Grandad G and you should be Grandad F.

0:21:390:21:42

Oh, I think he should be Grandad F.

0:21:420:21:44

Anyway, can we put it all behind us and just move on?

0:21:470:21:50

Oh, hang on! Is that it?

0:21:500:21:52

Well, I've said sorry. I can't keep saying it.

0:21:520:21:54

No, I don't mean that.

0:21:540:21:55

When we thought my dad had sworn, we had to have a crisis meeting.

0:21:550:21:58

Well, we should have one now with your dad.

0:21:580:22:00

-Are you serious?

-Oh, I'm deadly serious.

0:22:000:22:03

OK, then. Fine.

0:22:030:22:05

Dad...follow me.

0:22:050:22:08

-There. Done it.

-You didn't say anything.

0:22:140:22:18

No, and neither did you to your dad at the coffee shop.

0:22:180:22:21

-Did you find that acceptable?

-No.

0:22:210:22:23

Well, I don't find this acceptable.

0:22:230:22:25

You've got 'em, son. They're on the ropes.

0:22:250:22:28

Look, this is all nonsense. My dad's apologised.

0:22:280:22:30

Nobody owes anybody else any more apologies.

0:22:300:22:34

-Is that right?

-Oh, for God's sake, Mum.

0:22:340:22:36

-I'm sorry that you were second-choice baby-sitter.

-Third.

0:22:360:22:40

And I am sorry that I accused your dad.

0:22:400:22:43

Now, can we all just move on, please?

0:22:430:22:46

-Father?

-I'm a reasonable man.

0:22:460:22:48

And do you promise to bring this up in the future at every opportunity?

0:22:480:22:52

Of course.

0:22:520:22:53

Then consider the matter dropped.

0:22:530:22:56

Good.

0:22:560:22:57

Now, I'm sorry to rush things along, but any minute now,

0:22:570:23:00

Anna and Toby are going to land in our garden

0:23:000:23:02

in an easyJet plane from Barcelona to take us out for tapas,

0:23:020:23:05

so if you don't mind, Frank, we'll see you later?

0:23:050:23:08

What are you talking about? I'm not leaving.

0:23:080:23:11

I'm baby-sitting.

0:23:110:23:14

Wendy and Geoffrey are the ones who are leaving.

0:23:140:23:16

Frank, Mum and Dad are baby-sitting tonight.

0:23:160:23:18

Yes, but that was before we knew your father had a pottymouth.

0:23:180:23:21

Yeah, and it was my dad that was asked first, remember?

0:23:210:23:24

Oh, I remember.

0:23:240:23:26

But then we cancelled him.

0:23:260:23:28

Yes, because we thought he'd used bad language,

0:23:280:23:30

but now we know it was your dad that swore, we should cancel him.

0:23:300:23:33

Exactly. Who knows what other filth they might have heard?

0:23:330:23:37

I'm beginning to wonder whether the full scale of these horrors

0:23:370:23:40

will ever be understood.

0:23:400:23:42

Well, there's a simple solution. Lucy, who do you want to baby-sit?

0:23:420:23:46

Sorry, do I get a vote? I'm 18 now.

0:23:460:23:49

Well, I'm not leaving. I never swore.

0:23:490:23:51

Fair point.

0:23:510:23:53

Me and Wendy will snuggle down on the settee and do it together.

0:23:530:23:57

Come on, Lucy, who do you want to baby-sit?

0:23:570:23:59

-Well, I...

-They're our grandchildren, Lucy.

0:23:590:24:02

-They're my grandchildren, too.

-Come off it.

0:24:020:24:04

For years, your feckless behaviour has meant that you've come and gone,

0:24:040:24:07

whereas Wendy and I have been hands-on grandparents from the start.

0:24:070:24:09

Keep pushing me, I'll show you hands-on.

0:24:090:24:11

Oh, here it comes, the full Coronation Street.

0:24:110:24:15

I've a good mind to come over there and wash your mouth out with soap.

0:24:150:24:18

What, and risk getting some of it on your hands?

0:24:180:24:20

I've no need to listen to this.

0:24:200:24:22

I quite agree. Off you go.

0:24:220:24:24

Buenas noches, amigos.

0:24:260:24:27

You can stop that nonsense.

0:24:310:24:32

I know you're not really in Spain, you liar.

0:24:320:24:36

Don't criticise my husband like that.

0:24:360:24:38

Yeah. Let Anna show you how to do it properly.

0:24:380:24:41

Thanks to your foul mouth and your filthy-mouthed grandchild,

0:24:430:24:47

my Jack is running around cursing like a scaffolder.

0:24:470:24:50

Don't you talk about my grandson like that.

0:24:500:24:52

You may think of yourself as all high and mighty

0:24:520:24:54

because you've gone up in the baby-sitting pecking order,

0:24:540:24:56

but he's still my flesh and blood.

0:24:560:24:57

Yeah, don't start having a go at my son.

0:24:570:24:59

Oh, yeah, but it's all right for people to have a go at your father?

0:24:590:25:02

That's different. You're big enough and ugly enough to look after yourself.

0:25:020:25:05

Well, ugly enough.

0:25:050:25:06

I knew it wouldn't be long before they turned on each other.

0:25:060:25:09

-Like father, like son.

-Oh, that's rich,

0:25:090:25:12

coming from a man who screams obscenities at little kiddies.

0:25:120:25:14

For goodness' sake, you silly little man!

0:25:140:25:16

He was on the phone to the golf club.

0:25:160:25:18

So you say, but for all we know,

0:25:180:25:20

he could have been on a loudspeaker on the phone

0:25:200:25:22

to a premium-rate sex line.

0:25:220:25:24

I've just about had enough of this.

0:25:250:25:27

Oh, yeah? You want to get it on?

0:25:270:25:29

THEY TALK OVER EACH OTHER

0:25:290:25:31

-Oh, will you all just shut the

-BLEEP

-up?

0:25:320:25:36

-You're all a bunch of

-BLEEP

-idiots.

0:25:400:25:42

-You're a pompous

-BLEEP

-hole.

0:25:420:25:44

-You're always out for a

-BLEEP

-fight with everyone you meet,

0:25:440:25:46

-you silly

-BLEEP.

0:25:460:25:47

-You're a stupidly oversensitive

-BLEEP

-head.

0:25:470:25:49

-You're a stuck-up

-BLEEP.

-You're a lying

-BLEEP.

0:25:490:25:52

-And if you'd had a

-BLEEP

-with this

-BLEEP

-in the first place,

0:25:520:25:55

-we wouldn't be in this

-BLEEP

-of a

-BLEEP

-mess.

0:25:550:25:58

-Well, I've had en-

-BLEEP

--ough.

0:25:580:26:00

-None of you

-BLEEP

-can

-BLEEP

-baby-sit!

0:26:000:26:03

-Mummy, what's a

-BLEEP?

0:26:160:26:19

I'm a terrible mother.

0:26:310:26:33

Have you finished that word?

0:26:340:26:36

Feel free to try and comfort me at any point.

0:26:390:26:41

Look...like I've been trying to tell you all week,

0:26:430:26:46

it is possible to accidentally swear in front of the children

0:26:460:26:49

without it making you a bad person.

0:26:490:26:51

The kids will have forgotten about it by tomorrow.

0:26:510:26:53

All right, by next week.

0:26:540:26:57

All right, if they're still in therapy when they're 18,

0:26:570:26:59

we'll say it wasn't you, it was their real mother.

0:26:590:27:01

Well, whatever happens,

0:27:030:27:04

I'm going to make sure the kids don't hear any more swearwords.

0:27:040:27:08

To be fair, I don't think there are any more swearwords.

0:27:080:27:10

Now I've just got to make it up to everyone I insulted.

0:27:120:27:15

Well...

0:27:150:27:17

I'm one of the people you insulted.

0:27:170:27:19

Maybe you should make it up to me.

0:27:190:27:21

Is that right? And how am I supposed to do that?

0:27:210:27:24

Well, use your imagination.

0:27:240:27:27

Which, as it turns out, is a lot filthier than I ever thought.

0:27:270:27:29

How about I just take us for a nice meal out?

0:27:330:27:35

You know, just the two of us.

0:27:350:27:37

Well, you could, but who are you going to ask to baby-sit?

0:27:370:27:40

All right, you win.

0:27:420:27:44

# We're not going out

0:27:470:27:49

# Not staying in

0:27:490:27:51

# Just hanging around with my head in a spin

0:27:510:27:54

# But there is no need to scream and shout

0:27:540:27:57

# We're not going out

0:27:570:28:00

# We are not going out. #

0:28:000:28:03
