0:00:02 > 0:00:04- I just don't like babies. - How can you say that? You saw him.

0:00:04 > 0:00:07- Little James is incredibly cute. - I don't like babies.

0:00:07 > 0:00:11You do like babies. Remember Karen when she was his age.

0:00:11 > 0:00:15That tiny little thing with those big eyes.

0:00:15 > 0:00:17I remember the projectile vomiting.

0:00:17 > 0:00:22The distance and the power and the volume.

0:00:22 > 0:00:25- And the colour.- She was such a smiley little thing, though.

0:00:25 > 0:00:29God, in that cafe. That must have been a good four feet.

0:00:29 > 0:00:31They had to throw that whole tureen of soup away.

0:00:31 > 0:00:33Baby James is so placid, though, isn't he?

0:00:33 > 0:00:35He's very low-maintenance.

0:00:35 > 0:00:41I was wondering about giving Carlotta and Terry a break.

0:00:41 > 0:00:45- You know, offering to have him... - No.

0:00:45 > 0:00:48- ..just 24 hours. - No, absolutely not.

0:00:48 > 0:00:51- You've already said yes, haven't you?- Uh-huh.

0:00:51 > 0:00:55Well, I am going to arrange to go out. When is this happening?

0:00:55 > 0:00:57- Tonight. - Tonight.

0:00:57 > 0:01:00Course. Come on, Pete!

0:01:00 > 0:01:0320 years together, and you still don't see this stuff coming.

0:01:03 > 0:01:05Hiya. I'm really sorry to ask,

0:01:05 > 0:01:08but you don't have any eyelash adhesive, do you?

0:01:08 > 0:01:11No, sorry, Stacey. I...I've got my own eyelashes.

0:01:11 > 0:01:13Attached.

0:01:13 > 0:01:14Biologically.

0:01:14 > 0:01:18- Would Karen have any? - She's 11.

0:01:18 > 0:01:19Right.

0:01:21 > 0:01:24- So, she wouldn't have any? - No.

0:01:24 > 0:01:26No probs. Cheers.

0:01:28 > 0:01:32One of your best mates phones from Australia and says can his daughter stay.

0:01:32 > 0:01:34I was cornered.

0:01:34 > 0:01:37She's my goddaughter. What could I have said?

0:01:37 > 0:01:41You could have said, "There's a lot of nice youth hostels in Earl's Court."

0:01:41 > 0:01:42You could have said, "No,

0:01:42 > 0:01:45"you don't want to live in a house without eyelash adhesive."

0:01:45 > 0:01:48Anyway, he owes us now. We could send Jake to Melbourne.

0:01:49 > 0:01:51Not immediately but soon, maybe.

0:01:51 > 0:01:53It's Jake I'm worried about.

0:01:53 > 0:01:58- Being in the house with her...at night.- But he's got a girlfriend, hasn't he?

0:01:58 > 0:02:01I'm not sure, really, that Stacey is his type.

0:02:01 > 0:02:04Pete, a girl that looks like that is any man's type.

0:02:04 > 0:02:06- DOOR SLAMS - How did the rehearsals go?

0:02:06 > 0:02:10Miss Gregory, the other music teacher,

0:02:10 > 0:02:12said that maybe Malachi should be Spartacus,

0:02:12 > 0:02:15seeing as it is a musical and Malachi can sing.

0:02:15 > 0:02:16Oh, Ben!

0:02:16 > 0:02:19Mr Farthingwell says that it's not all about singing and...

0:02:19 > 0:02:21Sorry, I left my undies in the dryer.

0:02:21 > 0:02:23Oh, hi! You must be Ben, cos I've met everyone else now.

0:02:23 > 0:02:27I got here this morning. I'm Stacey. Hey. Fist bump.

0:02:29 > 0:02:33- Fist bump, Ben? - Hi...hi.

0:02:33 > 0:02:37I'm going to be hanging here for a few days. Hope you're OK with that.

0:02:37 > 0:02:39Ben.

0:02:39 > 0:02:41Ben? You in there? Ben?

0:02:41 > 0:02:43Ben! Ben! What happened at school?

0:02:43 > 0:02:47Oh, yeah, Mr Farthingwell says that seeing as it's a musical...

0:02:47 > 0:02:50I'm going to have to buy some more bras, cos my boob has just gone up a size.

0:02:50 > 0:02:52Ha-ha!

0:02:52 > 0:02:56Ben? Ben, are you still Spartacus?

0:02:56 > 0:02:58Mm, yeah. Yeah, I'm...I'm Spartacus.

0:02:58 > 0:03:00I'm going to my room.

0:03:02 > 0:03:06Well, it looks like it's not Jake that Stacey's going to be having the effect on.

0:03:06 > 0:03:07- Oh... - What?

0:03:07 > 0:03:09Well, that's it, isn't it?

0:03:09 > 0:03:13Only 13, but that's another one I've lost to the testosterone express.

0:03:13 > 0:03:16- DOORBELL RINGS - Who's that?

0:03:16 > 0:03:19Oh, that's not the baby already, is it?

0:03:19 > 0:03:22Could be.

0:03:22 > 0:03:24- SIREN BLARING - You would think,

0:03:24 > 0:03:27with three children, just from the laws of probability,

0:03:27 > 0:03:30that you would produce one who was capable of turning off the lights.

0:03:30 > 0:03:34Ben, Karen, there are five lights on in total in your two rooms,

0:03:34 > 0:03:36and it's not even night.

0:03:36 > 0:03:40JINGLE PLAYING Is the big man shouting?

0:03:40 > 0:03:43Is the big man being a big old shouty man?

0:03:43 > 0:03:45Karen? Ben? Did you hear any of that?

0:03:45 > 0:03:48No. You don't know what he's saying, do you?

0:03:48 > 0:03:51To him, it's probably like a dog being told to fetch, but in Chinese.

0:03:51 > 0:03:53Ben, you are not a dog.

0:03:53 > 0:03:58You are my son, who I am asking to turn lights off.

0:03:58 > 0:03:59- You know, babies... - BABY BURBLES

0:03:59 > 0:04:02- learn emotions from facial expressions.- Ben.

0:04:02 > 0:04:04- So, we could like teach them that...- What are you talking about?

0:04:04 > 0:04:07- ..happy was an angry face... - Mm!

0:04:07 > 0:04:09and angry was a really happy face.

0:04:09 > 0:04:11I think if you look at my face,

0:04:11 > 0:04:14you'll get a fairly clear idea of what angry looks like.

0:04:14 > 0:04:16We've used this face for centuries...

0:04:16 > 0:04:19..when people don't turn the lights off.

0:04:19 > 0:04:21Our electricity bill is huge.

0:04:21 > 0:04:25They probably think we're growing cannabis in here or smelting aluminium.

0:04:25 > 0:04:26DOORBELL RINGS

0:04:26 > 0:04:29JAKE: Er...it's OK! It's just a mate! I'll get it!

0:04:29 > 0:04:33See this? This is leopard in a tree. You used to love this when you were younger.

0:04:33 > 0:04:35BABY CHUCKLES

0:04:35 > 0:04:37SHE SIGHS

0:04:37 > 0:04:43- Why are you staring at me? - Just wonder at how things grow,

0:04:43 > 0:04:45and grow.

0:04:45 > 0:04:48How much does it hurt to have a baby?

0:04:48 > 0:04:50Yeah, well...

0:04:50 > 0:04:53er...it's...you know, it's a lovely experience,

0:04:53 > 0:04:56but I suppose it..it does... it does hurt a bit.

0:04:56 > 0:04:59TOY JINGLES But it's sort of like a positive...pain.

0:04:59 > 0:05:03What about that lady across the road... road that had a home birth?

0:05:03 > 0:05:05Was that a positive pain?

0:05:05 > 0:05:07Um...

0:05:07 > 0:05:09Because she kept me awake all night with her screaming.

0:05:09 > 0:05:11That would have been positive screaming.

0:05:11 > 0:05:13"Just kill me now," she kept shouting.

0:05:13 > 0:05:15TOY JINGLES

0:05:15 > 0:05:16So, on a scale of one to ten,

0:05:16 > 0:05:19say ten being your head being chopped off with a chain saw...

0:05:19 > 0:05:21Mm-hm.

0:05:21 > 0:05:25..and one being getting lemon in a paper cut,

0:05:25 > 0:05:29how painful was giving birth to Ben?

0:05:29 > 0:05:31BABY COOS Er...

0:05:31 > 0:05:35oh, how painful was it giving birth to Ben?

0:05:35 > 0:05:38I would say... Oh! TOY JINGLES

0:05:38 > 0:05:40Look, oh, look, he's fallen over. Look. BABY GIGGLES

0:05:40 > 0:05:41On a scale of one to ten.

0:05:41 > 0:05:44I would say t...

0:05:45 > 0:05:47two and a half, three.

0:05:47 > 0:05:52OK, so not too... not very painful at all, really?

0:05:52 > 0:05:55But, well, it...it...

0:05:55 > 0:05:58Yes, a little bit.

0:05:58 > 0:06:02It was a little bit...little bit painful.

0:06:02 > 0:06:04Are you sure only three? Cos that's not that much.

0:06:04 > 0:06:07Er...probably about th...

0:06:07 > 0:06:11BABY BURBLING ..five.

0:06:11 > 0:06:13- Five?- Five, six.

0:06:13 > 0:06:14- Five or six? - Five, six, seven.

0:06:14 > 0:06:18OK, well, that's quite high, and how long does it last?

0:06:18 > 0:06:21Um...it can be about, um...two hours.

0:06:21 > 0:06:25Um...sometimes it can get to, um...

0:06:27 > 0:06:2912, a day.

0:06:29 > 0:06:32- What? A day? - Two...days.

0:06:32 > 0:06:35- Two days? - Sometimes. That's very rare!

0:06:35 > 0:06:38The human body isn't actually very well designed for childbirth.

0:06:38 > 0:06:40Be much easier if we just laid eggs.

0:06:40 > 0:06:43And if you change your mind, you could have a very large omelette,

0:06:43 > 0:06:46although the Catholic Church might come out against that.

0:06:46 > 0:06:48BABY BURBLES All right.

0:06:48 > 0:06:50What have you done to your hands? Oops.

0:06:50 > 0:06:53Oh, yeah, Stacey gave me these really cool fake nails.

0:06:53 > 0:06:54Did she?

0:06:54 > 0:06:56BABY BURBLES Oh.

0:06:56 > 0:06:59You've got to admit, he really is cute.

0:06:59 > 0:07:02He's...small.

0:07:02 > 0:07:05Interestingly, at this age, they are less intelligent than a crow.

0:07:05 > 0:07:09Yes, although you probably shouldn't have said that to his mother.

0:07:09 > 0:07:11- Carlotta looked a bit... - And you do know why they're cute,

0:07:11 > 0:07:14don't you, Dad? It's so that, biologically, we don't kill them.

0:07:14 > 0:07:16You didn't say that to his mum, did you?

0:07:16 > 0:07:18We're programmed to respond positively

0:07:18 > 0:07:20to the big eyes and the big round hairless head.

0:07:20 > 0:07:21Doesn't work for William Hague.

0:07:21 > 0:07:23For instance, lemurs.

0:07:23 > 0:07:25People love lemurs, and they're actually quite similar to babies,

0:07:25 > 0:07:26although they're a bit furrier.

0:07:26 > 0:07:29Oh, no, that is so cute!

0:07:29 > 0:07:32Stacey, did you leave your top in the laundry room too?

0:07:32 > 0:07:34Er...no, I've got everything. I'm just heading out.

0:07:34 > 0:07:37Oh, that is...that... You... you're going out like that. Right.

0:07:37 > 0:07:40I'm just going to pop that there. It's my modelling portfolio.

0:07:40 > 0:07:41I said I'd show Karen.

0:07:41 > 0:07:44- Is Karen interested in that? - Yeah.

0:07:44 > 0:07:46I mean, it's just local mags and swimwear.

0:07:46 > 0:07:50Were you saying something about lemurs, Ben? Because I love lemurs.

0:07:53 > 0:07:54Ben?

0:07:55 > 0:07:58- Lemurs. - Oh, yeah.

0:07:58 > 0:08:03Erm...lemurs were originally confused with the low sloris.

0:08:03 > 0:08:06No. Mo...

0:08:06 > 0:08:08- No. Ro sloris? - Sloth?

0:08:08 > 0:08:10No, no.

0:08:10 > 0:08:12I need to, er...need to revise.

0:08:12 > 0:08:13Aah!

0:08:15 > 0:08:17It...it's fine.

0:08:17 > 0:08:19I'm OK.

0:08:19 > 0:08:21TOY RATTLES

0:08:21 > 0:08:24Slow loris. I think it was a slow loris.

0:08:24 > 0:08:28- DISTANT SIREN WAILS - Anyone in there? No?

0:08:28 > 0:08:31Anyone in the bathroom?

0:08:31 > 0:08:33No.

0:08:33 > 0:08:35There's these things called switches,

0:08:35 > 0:08:40cleverly designed so if you push them, the light goes out.

0:08:40 > 0:08:45Think of a room as a giant iPod, cos you can turn them on and off all right.

0:08:45 > 0:08:48Can you remember how to assemble these?

0:08:48 > 0:08:51I'd forgotten you needed a degree in engineering to have a baby.

0:08:51 > 0:08:52Is he still awake?

0:08:52 > 0:08:54Yeah, I tried to put him down but he's still quite lively.

0:08:54 > 0:08:56He's in there playing with Ben now.

0:08:56 > 0:08:59You know this Stacey thing?

0:08:59 > 0:09:01Do you think you could have a word with Ben?

0:09:01 > 0:09:03- Oh...- Oh, go on.

0:09:03 > 0:09:07I...I did all the girl stuff with Karen, and that's a lot messier.

0:09:07 > 0:09:08Didn't we give Ben a book about sex?

0:09:08 > 0:09:10- Did we? - Yeah, we did.

0:09:10 > 0:09:11Because he came back and said he thought

0:09:11 > 0:09:14that human genitalia were very poorly designed,

0:09:14 > 0:09:18although I'm not sure his alternative is very practical.

0:09:18 > 0:09:21I don't think women would want the testicles.

0:09:21 > 0:09:23And certainly not up there. Anyway, that book should have it covered.

0:09:23 > 0:09:29Pete! There was no chapter in that book entitled Not Staring At Women's Breasts.

0:09:29 > 0:09:32ELECTRONIC VOICE: I am Satan! I eat babies!

0:09:32 > 0:09:34Jake. Not funny.

0:09:34 > 0:09:38You will be my slaves and you will buy Jake a new laptop.

0:09:38 > 0:09:39Get out of our room!

0:09:39 > 0:09:42- Does it go the other way up? - Hang on. I can do this.

0:09:42 > 0:09:45It's four o'clock in the morning.

0:09:46 > 0:09:48I haven't slept properly for weeks.

0:09:48 > 0:09:51CLOPPING AND CLUNKING

0:09:58 > 0:10:02There! There, just needed to access the muscle memory.

0:10:02 > 0:10:05Right, I'd better... I'd better check on James.

0:10:05 > 0:10:07DOOR SQUEAKS AND BABY BURBLES

0:10:07 > 0:10:09TRAIN CHUFFING

0:10:09 > 0:10:12What exactly is that, Ben?

0:10:12 > 0:10:16It's a maze. I put those biscuits he liked at the far end.

0:10:16 > 0:10:19It's OK. Chickens couldn't work it out either.

0:10:19 > 0:10:22Probably not a good idea to experiment on non-consenting children.

0:10:22 > 0:10:25It's something they established at the Nuremberg trials.

0:10:25 > 0:10:27You're cleverer than a chicken, aren't you?

0:10:27 > 0:10:30Anyway, it is way past your bedtime so come on, off you go.

0:10:30 > 0:10:32- Do you want me to clean up? - Come on.

0:10:32 > 0:10:35Hiya. Erm...it's all right if Alex stays over, isn't it?

0:10:35 > 0:10:36Cos it's Saturday tomorrow

0:10:36 > 0:10:38and we just started watching the football on the laptop.

0:10:38 > 0:10:40- Yeah, yeah. I suppose so. - Yeah? Thanks.

0:10:40 > 0:10:42Don't stay up all night! DOOR SLAMS

0:10:42 > 0:10:45We won't see him before noon. He needs a Taser rather than an alarm clock.

0:10:45 > 0:10:46Mum, could you buy me some more deodorant?

0:10:46 > 0:10:48- Er... - Lynx Dark Temptation.

0:10:48 > 0:10:51- OK.- Does that actually exist?

0:10:51 > 0:10:53Yeah, you see, um... it's the chocolate one.

0:10:53 > 0:10:55Dark Temptation? Do they do a Milk Temptation?

0:10:55 > 0:10:59Well, it's not dark chocolate. It's just chocolate in a deodorant.

0:10:59 > 0:11:03Ah, that feral-teenage-boy, fox-in-the-bin smell,

0:11:03 > 0:11:07partially masked by chemical chocolate.

0:11:07 > 0:11:08That'll get the girls.

0:11:08 > 0:11:12Well, it might do. When I was 13, boys just smelled of cider and armpit.

0:11:12 > 0:11:14They could do Lynx Cider & Armpit.

0:11:14 > 0:11:16- Oh!- What the...

0:11:16 > 0:11:18Ah, have you got James? BABY CRIES

0:11:18 > 0:11:19I've got him.

0:11:19 > 0:11:22- BEN:- You did want the lights turned out.- It's the whole street.

0:11:22 > 0:11:25- I'll light some candles. - No! Ben, no!

0:11:25 > 0:11:27It's...it's all right. I know about candles and curtains now.

0:11:27 > 0:11:31BABY BURBLES

0:11:31 > 0:11:33OK, he's quite cute.

0:11:34 > 0:11:36- MUSIC ON TV - It's Atlantis.

0:11:36 > 0:11:40- Jason's just bumped into Theo Paphitis.- TV: Medusa is cursed.

0:11:40 > 0:11:43- Did James go down? - Yeah, he's in his cot.

0:11:43 > 0:11:45Standing up, waving.

0:11:45 > 0:11:50You know that, um...friend of Jake's, Alex?

0:11:50 > 0:11:52- Didn't he go to Canada? - Oh, yeah.

0:11:52 > 0:11:55- What you doing? - I'm texting Jake to come down.

0:11:55 > 0:12:00And someone needs to have a word with Stacey.

0:12:00 > 0:12:04Walking around in towels and vests and...things,

0:12:04 > 0:12:06I don't even know what they're called but they're very, very small.

0:12:06 > 0:12:08It's not fair on Ben.

0:12:08 > 0:12:11Someone needs to tell her to cover up.

0:12:11 > 0:12:13- I'll give the Taliban a ring. - Seriously, Pete.

0:12:13 > 0:12:15MUSIC PLAYING ON TV

0:12:15 > 0:12:17You're not saying it should be me that says that?

0:12:17 > 0:12:20You are her godfather. Aren't you responsible for her moral wellbeing?

0:12:20 > 0:12:23I just have to keep her and the Devil apart.

0:12:24 > 0:12:26I didn't have to swear on the Bible that I'd tell her to wear...

0:12:28 > 0:12:31- large underwear. - What, Mum? It's late.

0:12:31 > 0:12:34This mate of yours, Alex. Didn't he go to Canada?

0:12:34 > 0:12:35Yeah, it's a different Alex.

0:12:35 > 0:12:38- Is this Alex a girl? - Yep.

0:12:38 > 0:12:40You never told us it was a girl!

0:12:40 > 0:12:42Well, I never told you she wasn't a girl.

0:12:42 > 0:12:44You know we thought she was a boy.

0:12:44 > 0:12:48Dad, I can't spend my time trying to work out what you think.

0:12:48 > 0:12:50Boy, girl, what's the difference?

0:12:50 > 0:12:51I think you've got a really clear idea

0:12:51 > 0:12:53what the difference between boys and girls is,

0:12:53 > 0:12:56which is why she's not spending the night in your bedroom.

0:12:56 > 0:12:59Everything's about sex with you two. She's just staying over.

0:12:59 > 0:13:01Well, she isn't, actually.

0:13:01 > 0:13:04Well, anyway, if you're worried about us having sex, she's been up there for hours.

0:13:04 > 0:13:06We could have had sex like ten times by now.

0:13:06 > 0:13:09So, strangely, I don't find that reassuring.

0:13:09 > 0:13:11Does Lizzie know about this?

0:13:11 > 0:13:15Er...Lizzie and I, we're on a break. Alex is just a friend.

0:13:15 > 0:13:18- A friend with benefits? - Mum, no-one says that any more.

0:13:18 > 0:13:22Anyway, she's got to stay, because she's lost her keys and her mum's away.

0:13:22 > 0:13:24What bad luck!

0:13:24 > 0:13:26But her mum's fine with her staying here.

0:13:26 > 0:13:29Oh, right. Well, give me her number, I'll give her mum a ring and check.

0:13:29 > 0:13:31She's lost her mum's number, er...cos it was a new number,

0:13:31 > 0:13:35um...and she lost her phone in the same bag as...as her keys.

0:13:35 > 0:13:37So, how did she ring her mum?

0:13:37 > 0:13:41Well, she rang her mum before she lost her bag, Sherlock.

0:13:41 > 0:13:44So, she rang her mum to ask if she could stay,

0:13:44 > 0:13:48because she'd lost her key, before she lost her key, Moriarty?

0:13:48 > 0:13:53No, she...asked if she could stay before she had to,

0:13:53 > 0:13:56and then she lost her bag, with her keys in it, and now she has to stay.

0:13:56 > 0:13:59Right, we need to talk to her. Jake, go and get her.

0:13:59 > 0:14:01OK.

0:14:01 > 0:14:02He's good.

0:14:02 > 0:14:04At least we've produced an intelligent liar.

0:14:05 > 0:14:08Still, if she stays, she can't stay in his room.

0:14:09 > 0:14:10We could put her in with Stacey.

0:14:10 > 0:14:12Yeah, but she'd just get up and go back into his room.

0:14:12 > 0:14:14Hang on. What have we got at the moment?

0:14:14 > 0:14:18We have got Stacey in Karen's, and Karen in with Ben.

0:14:18 > 0:14:21Well, I know, then we just put her in Stacey's room,

0:14:21 > 0:14:23and then we put Jake in with Ben.

0:14:23 > 0:14:25She's not feeling very well.

0:14:25 > 0:14:27Um...so she's probably not going to come down,

0:14:27 > 0:14:30in light of the fact that she doesn't feel very well.

0:14:30 > 0:14:32OK, I know what we'll do, then.

0:14:32 > 0:14:36Um...she'll go with Stacey, and then Ben can go in with you.

0:14:39 > 0:14:42- She's probably too ill to move rooms.- We'll carry her.

0:14:43 > 0:14:44Do you think she'll still want to stay?

0:14:46 > 0:14:49Oh, she'll have to. She's lost her keys.

0:14:49 > 0:14:53SLAM We're good too.

0:14:54 > 0:14:55TRAIN CHUFFING

0:14:55 > 0:14:59Well, I never thought I'd see a baby projectile-vomit further than Karen.

0:14:59 > 0:15:04Oh, well, we were going to redecorate. That cream wallpaper was always a mistake.

0:15:04 > 0:15:08It's not cream now. Ben, can you turn the light off in the bathroom?

0:15:08 > 0:15:11And his weeing, it was like a...geyser.

0:15:12 > 0:15:15- Aah! - Sorry. Sorry.

0:15:15 > 0:15:17I don't understand it.

0:15:17 > 0:15:19He's so placid by day.

0:15:20 > 0:15:23Maybe that's why Carlotta calls him the werewolf.

0:15:27 > 0:15:34You agreed to look after, for the night, a baby called "the werewolf"?

0:15:34 > 0:15:39Well, I thought it was ironic, like Little John in Robin Hood,

0:15:39 > 0:15:41who is in fact very big.

0:15:41 > 0:15:44So, you thought they called him the werewolf

0:15:44 > 0:15:46because he was so calm at night?

0:15:48 > 0:15:50Oh, it's cold in here. Is that radiator on?

0:15:50 > 0:15:52No, I've turned the central heating off.

0:15:54 > 0:15:58Well, it's the only way I'm going to stop Stacey walking around like a prostitute,

0:15:58 > 0:16:00dressed in tea towels.

0:16:00 > 0:16:02OK, I'll turn it back on.

0:16:02 > 0:16:04Has Alex gone home?

0:16:04 > 0:16:07I don't know. Maybe. I didn't get a good look at her.

0:16:07 > 0:16:09- Did you get a good look at her, Ben?- Yeah.

0:16:09 > 0:16:14Ooh, God, Jake. He's going to be in a right strop with us cos we didn't let him...

0:16:14 > 0:16:17watch football with Alex. Freeze.

0:16:17 > 0:16:19Morning, Mum. Morning, Dad.

0:16:26 > 0:16:28# We're going to the moon... #

0:16:28 > 0:16:33Sue, do you think Jake found a way around our room allocation strategy?

0:16:33 > 0:16:35I don't know, Pete.

0:16:35 > 0:16:37He seemed far too cheerful this morning.

0:16:37 > 0:16:39I know. What can we do?

0:16:39 > 0:16:41No, you're right. It's pointless speculating.

0:16:43 > 0:16:44I bet he did, though.

0:16:44 > 0:16:47- We just have to walk away. - Yeah, OK.

0:16:47 > 0:16:50# Zoom, zoom, zoom, we'll be there very... #

0:16:50 > 0:16:51How do you think he did it?

0:16:55 > 0:16:57Blastoff! Whee!

0:16:57 > 0:16:59- Can I have a go? - No.

0:16:59 > 0:17:04No, it's just that, with a baby, um... being thrown in the air and caught,

0:17:04 > 0:17:06there's quite a lot that can go wrong.

0:17:06 > 0:17:10Oh, come on. I was about five when that thing happened at the petting zoo.

0:17:10 > 0:17:11Seven.

0:17:11 > 0:17:14I remember, because it was important in terms of legal liability.

0:17:19 > 0:17:24Mum, this homework they've given me is too hard so I'm giving up.

0:17:24 > 0:17:26Don't be silly. You can't just give up.

0:17:26 > 0:17:29- Why not?- Well, it's just...you know, it's wrong.

0:17:29 > 0:17:32Life is about perseverance.

0:17:32 > 0:17:36You...you stick at things when they get hard and you...

0:17:36 > 0:17:39- you don't admit defeat. - You are so right.

0:17:40 > 0:17:41What?

0:17:41 > 0:17:44Well, it's wrong to just be defeatist and give up.

0:17:44 > 0:17:48- This is about the hamster, isn't it? - Everyone's just forgotten about Tommy.

0:17:48 > 0:17:50Well, he's been missing for months.

0:17:50 > 0:17:53Yes, but there were those women in America who were missing for years

0:17:53 > 0:17:55and they were still found.

0:17:55 > 0:17:59Karen, no-one is holding your hamster prisoner in their basement.

0:18:00 > 0:18:03Listen, Ben.

0:18:03 > 0:18:05About sex.

0:18:05 > 0:18:08I know they teach you the nuts and bolts stuff at school...

0:18:08 > 0:18:10Yeah, I had to put a condom on a banana.

0:18:10 > 0:18:13Yeah, I think you can take a GCSE in that now.

0:18:13 > 0:18:16Yeah, but I was just wondering if you had any questions about, er...

0:18:16 > 0:18:19behaviour around...women.

0:18:19 > 0:18:23It's just that Jake did mention what had happened with Alex.

0:18:23 > 0:18:25There's no lock on that door. That was an accident.

0:18:25 > 0:18:26Right.

0:18:26 > 0:18:30Well, it is quite hard to walk in on a naked woman by accident.

0:18:30 > 0:18:34But should you come across a naked woman, you shouldn't stare.

0:18:34 > 0:18:36Unless, of course, she's a stripper.

0:18:37 > 0:18:40But you shouldn't be going...

0:18:40 > 0:18:43to strippers yet, or indeed, er...at all.

0:18:43 > 0:18:45Look, we have offered to replace Tommy.

0:18:45 > 0:18:47But he had personality.

0:18:47 > 0:18:49What personality?

0:18:49 > 0:18:54He...he was loyal, and he had a very good sense of humour.

0:18:54 > 0:18:56Karen, don't be...

0:18:56 > 0:18:57What do you think we should do about him, then?

0:18:57 > 0:18:59Nothing.

0:18:59 > 0:19:02- We should give up? - Yeah.

0:19:02 > 0:19:04So, it is OK to give up, then?

0:19:04 > 0:19:08Er...only when it's something that is...

0:19:08 > 0:19:11..insurmountably difficult.

0:19:11 > 0:19:12Like this homework?

0:19:12 > 0:19:14That... It...

0:19:14 > 0:19:16That's...that...kind of...

0:19:16 > 0:19:18That would... Oh, that's...

0:19:18 > 0:19:23Even if you find yourself in a situation where a woman is fully clothed,

0:19:23 > 0:19:27you shouldn't stare, particularly at any particular...

0:19:28 > 0:19:29particulars.

0:19:29 > 0:19:33Oh, hi, guys. Er...has anyone seen my modelling portfolio?

0:19:33 > 0:19:34No.

0:19:36 > 0:19:39I thought I just left it here in your lounge room.

0:19:40 > 0:19:42I need to learn my lines.

0:19:42 > 0:19:43Oh.

0:19:43 > 0:19:45Well, maybe Karen's got it.

0:19:45 > 0:19:48BABY GRIZZLING Oh.

0:19:48 > 0:19:50What's up with you?

0:19:50 > 0:19:52BABY CRIES All right, all right.

0:19:52 > 0:19:55Jake, you're doing a few little jobs at the moment

0:19:55 > 0:19:57to earn your driving lessons, yeah?

0:19:57 > 0:19:59- Yeah, must be about there by now. - What's the matter?

0:19:59 > 0:20:02Could you have a word with Ben,

0:20:02 > 0:20:03about girls?

0:20:03 > 0:20:05And how to...

0:20:05 > 0:20:07- behave with them.- Fine.

0:20:07 > 0:20:09Not necessarily the way you behave. More...

0:20:09 > 0:20:12Sure. I can do respect for women. I've had that stuff from Mum.

0:20:12 > 0:20:17Oh, I've had this text from Terry and Carlotta.

0:20:17 > 0:20:22"Road blocked by flood. Be back soon as poss.

0:20:38 > 0:20:42I need to have a chat with you about girls, Dad says.

0:20:42 > 0:20:46Um...basically, they're 99 per cent exactly the same as you and me,

0:20:46 > 0:20:48except they like Taylor Swift,

0:20:49 > 0:20:50and salad.

0:20:56 > 0:20:57Right.

0:20:57 > 0:20:59Talk to them about something normal, and they'll be interested.

0:20:59 > 0:21:02Does that work with all girls?

0:21:02 > 0:21:05Like for instance,

0:21:05 > 0:21:0821-year-old girls and 13-year-old boys?

0:21:08 > 0:21:10Oh, yeah, they can't get enough of 'em.

0:21:10 > 0:21:1421-year-old girls are always on websites, looking at pictures of 13-year-old boys.

0:21:14 > 0:21:17Hang on, wait a moment. Is it the other way around?

0:22:12 > 0:22:15There is nothing about it being blocked. They are taking the mickey.

0:22:15 > 0:22:18Who have you told about Alex staying over?

0:22:18 > 0:22:21No-one, obviously. Why? Has Lizzie found out about it?

0:22:21 > 0:22:23- Well, who could have spread it about? - TEXT ALERT

0:22:23 > 0:22:24Oh, God.

0:22:24 > 0:22:27- Alex, for example? - I'm going to ring them.

0:22:27 > 0:22:31Mum, could you text Lizzie and say that me and Alex slept in different rooms?

0:22:31 > 0:22:34Well, why should she be bothered? Cos you were on a bit of a break.

0:22:34 > 0:22:36That's right, isn't it? Or didn't she know about that?

0:22:36 > 0:22:39- Mum, come on, a text. - I'm sorry. I'm not getting involved.

0:22:39 > 0:22:41Do you enjoy ruining my life?

0:22:46 > 0:22:48- Can I take a message? - Jesus! She's winding me up.- Mum!

0:22:48 > 0:22:50It's gone through to voicemail.

0:22:50 > 0:22:53Maybe the torrential floods have swept her phone away.

0:22:53 > 0:22:56Hi, Carlotta. It's Pete. I'm sorry to hear about the flooding.

0:22:56 > 0:22:59Although I did just happen to notice that the road is now clear

0:22:59 > 0:23:02so we'll see you very soon...

0:23:02 > 0:23:03indeed.

0:23:03 > 0:23:05Yeah, OK, I'll tell him that.

0:23:05 > 0:23:07Sharika said she didn't think you were such a sleaze-bag.

0:25:57 > 0:25:59- You can't send that. - Why not?

0:25:59 > 0:26:01Because they'll just pretend they didn't get it.

0:26:01 > 0:26:04Do you think James has got a temperature?

0:26:06 > 0:26:07No.

0:26:22 > 0:26:23- And you think that will... - Oh, yeah.

0:26:23 > 0:26:26Yeah, that way, we'll be working on a mother's hormones

0:26:28 > 0:26:30DOOR SLAMS JAKE: Oh, God!

0:26:30 > 0:26:32You think it was Alex told everyone Jake's secret?

0:26:34 > 0:26:36Well, who else could it be?

0:26:36 > 0:26:38Anyway, at least he's learnt something.

0:26:38 > 0:26:41He's learnt he has to respect women.

0:26:41 > 0:26:44Yeah, cos they all talk to each other so you can't get away with stuff.

0:26:44 > 0:26:47No, Pete. Respect women.

0:27:11 > 0:27:12No, they are from another planet.

0:27:12 > 0:27:14Boys are from planet earth,

0:27:14 > 0:27:18and girls come from some weird pink Death Star called Bitchita Major

0:27:18 > 0:27:22where they all SMS each other in some PMT-crazy bitching frenzy

0:27:22 > 0:27:24and excommunicate boys.

0:27:24 > 0:27:26So, stay away from girls as long as you can.

0:27:28 > 0:27:31- Jake? - I'd just like some privacy.
