0:00:02 > 0:00:03Nothing I can do.

0:00:05 > 0:00:07Yep 7.30.

0:00:07 > 0:00:12Yes. Well, I'm unlucky really, aren't I?

0:00:12 > 0:00:15Because it's an Italian.

0:00:15 > 0:00:19Romano's. I know exactly what Roger's going to say.

0:00:19 > 0:00:24He can have soup, no problem, he can have pasta, no problem,

0:00:24 > 0:00:26he can have tiramisu, no problem.

0:00:26 > 0:00:32And then he's got his first course, his main course and his pudding.

0:00:32 > 0:00:35Well and ice cream, that's right, Sue, yeah.

0:00:35 > 0:00:36Yep.

0:00:36 > 0:00:40Well I don't know. Oh, I'll think of something.

0:00:40 > 0:00:43Yep. Yep. All right, Sue.

0:00:43 > 0:00:46Yeah, I'll talk to you tomorrow. Bye, love, bye.

0:01:01 > 0:01:03SHE SIGHS

0:01:05 > 0:01:08Pam Bagnall.

0:01:08 > 0:01:12I will hunt you down and kill you like a dog.

0:01:42 > 0:01:44Excuse me.

0:02:00 > 0:02:02PHONE BEEPS

0:02:10 > 0:02:13What's the password for the Virgin Media account?

0:02:13 > 0:02:15Sorry?

0:02:15 > 0:02:19The engineer for the internet wants to come about the stand-alone modem.

0:02:19 > 0:02:21"Officer dibble"

0:02:21 > 0:02:23Yeah, I tried that but it won't let me in.

0:02:23 > 0:02:27Er. "Wide-legged trouser 32."

0:02:27 > 0:02:30Thank you. I take it that's all in lower case?

0:02:32 > 0:02:35Look I'm sorry about this morning I was very uptight.

0:02:37 > 0:02:38No, no. I'm sorry.

0:02:40 > 0:02:42Dare I ask?

0:02:43 > 0:02:46- I got through to the second day. - Oh, Val!

0:02:46 > 0:02:48It's only the second day. I'm containing it.

0:02:48 > 0:02:53Can I contain it with a big, broad grin across my face, though? I kept ringing and ringing.

0:02:53 > 0:02:55No, I didn't even have my phone with me.

0:02:55 > 0:02:58Yeah, I thought as much. Who else got through?

0:02:58 > 0:03:01Just the two of us. Me and "Fill In The Blank Yourself."

0:03:01 > 0:03:04Mmm. I thought she would. None of the externals?

0:03:04 > 0:03:06Nope. Just me and the Bagnall.

0:03:06 > 0:03:09Which means, Roger, that the meal tomorrow night really is crucial.

0:03:09 > 0:03:12Yeah, yeah. Where is it?

0:03:12 > 0:03:14Val? Where's the dinner?

0:03:14 > 0:03:16Erm, Romano's.

0:03:16 > 0:03:19Ah, Italian! That's great for me.

0:03:19 > 0:03:24Yeah. Soup, pasta, tiramisu. There's your three courses, right there.

0:03:24 > 0:03:28I'm not at work, so I'll be able to spruce myself up as much as possible,

0:03:28 > 0:03:30you know, under the current circumstances.

0:03:30 > 0:03:32Mmm. Roger did you manage to get to Boots?

0:03:32 > 0:03:36Oh. No good, I'm afraid. They only do temporary fillings.

0:03:36 > 0:03:38Oh. Well, I'm going to call Mr Burrows myself.

0:03:38 > 0:03:41No, no. Calling Mr Burrows won't make any difference.

0:03:41 > 0:03:44They have to send it to a special place.

0:03:44 > 0:03:47The whole process takes at least a week.

0:03:47 > 0:03:51You would think that Boots would do a false front tooth off the shelf.

0:03:51 > 0:03:53They used to be a good shop.

0:03:53 > 0:03:55No, Val. What would you buy?

0:03:55 > 0:03:57Great, big white one? And, if so, what size?

0:03:57 > 0:03:59Well, they sell insoles for trainers.

0:03:59 > 0:04:04The least they could do is offer a big foam rubber front tooth

0:04:04 > 0:04:05that you can cut round.

0:04:05 > 0:04:08That's ridiculous, Val. It would fly out every time you said an "F".

0:04:08 > 0:04:12Not soft foam - rubber!

0:04:12 > 0:04:15Tough rubber, but that you can still cut round.

0:04:15 > 0:04:18So, I don't know, maybe you have to dip it in boiling water.

0:04:18 > 0:04:22It's not going to be as hard as a real tooth, but it'd be good enough.

0:04:22 > 0:04:25Some non-toxic paints in the kit

0:04:25 > 0:04:26so you can get the colour right,

0:04:26 > 0:04:29and then a mould you can fit to your own gum.

0:04:29 > 0:04:31Stick the rubber tooth in there.

0:04:31 > 0:04:34If they sold something like that, I'd have bought it.

0:04:34 > 0:04:36Who else is coming?

0:04:38 > 0:04:42Head and her husband, Bagnall and her partner,

0:04:42 > 0:04:45chairman of the Governors and us.

0:04:45 > 0:04:49That's if you, you know, feel up to it with your tooth.

0:04:49 > 0:04:52Well, of course I feel up to it.

0:04:52 > 0:04:54- Right.- No!

0:04:54 > 0:04:56No, maybe you've got a point, Val, maybe I shouldn't come.

0:04:56 > 0:05:00Look, Roger I was just about to say "So, thank goodness it's pasta."

0:05:00 > 0:05:03- Yeah, right.- Roger.- Excuse me.

0:05:09 > 0:05:13And where exactly will we say your tooth is? Do you see my point?

0:05:13 > 0:05:15Tomorrow night's not the night to land it on people.

0:05:15 > 0:05:18Why would my tooth even need to figure? They might not ask.

0:05:18 > 0:05:21Of course they'll ask - it's right in your face!

0:05:21 > 0:05:22Oh.

0:05:22 > 0:05:26Look, if you come, I want a dignified answer as to where it is.

0:05:26 > 0:05:31- How about, "I was in a bad mood and I flossed too vigorously"? - No!- OK, OK. Go simpler.

0:05:31 > 0:05:34I have gum disease and I bit into an apple.

0:05:34 > 0:05:36- I don't believe you. - Yeah, because it's not true!

0:05:36 > 0:05:38I mean, I believe you more than the truth.

0:05:38 > 0:05:40I believe you more than that, Roger.

0:05:40 > 0:05:43- Yeah!- Hi, Pam, Roger's tooth?

0:05:43 > 0:05:45Yes, it got punched out

0:05:45 > 0:05:49by the eldest son of a woman Roger fathered a child with

0:05:49 > 0:05:5131 years ago.

0:05:51 > 0:05:53Not Roger's actual child, that's Liam,

0:05:53 > 0:05:56his elder brother, Gary. Are you keeping up?

0:05:56 > 0:05:58I know it's an awful lot to take in,

0:05:58 > 0:06:00isn't it? I've only known for a week.

0:06:00 > 0:06:04Yes, Pam, and this all happened years before I even met Val.

0:06:04 > 0:06:05I didn't know about it, either.

0:06:05 > 0:06:07Not true, Pam.

0:06:07 > 0:06:09He knew about this a whole week before me,

0:06:09 > 0:06:12and he's only told me now because the woman sent him a message

0:06:12 > 0:06:15on Facebook saying she was going to drop round and see us.

0:06:15 > 0:06:17I would have told you, Val. I would have told you.

0:06:17 > 0:06:21Oh, Pam doesn't believe you. No, neither do I, Pam.

0:06:21 > 0:06:23I'll have a white wine, please, yes.

0:06:23 > 0:06:26Sod the mineral water because this is a lot to take in.

0:06:26 > 0:06:29Say the truth, say that he apologised.

0:06:29 > 0:06:31He apologised, Pam.

0:06:31 > 0:06:33Oh, no. Pam's busy,

0:06:33 > 0:06:36she's telling her husband the whole saga under her breath.

0:06:36 > 0:06:39Well, before he did it, he said "I don't want to do this, mate,

0:06:39 > 0:06:41"I'm doing this for my dead Dad."

0:06:41 > 0:06:43How long did you think Pam has got?

0:06:43 > 0:06:46She wants to have her dinner. Unbelievable.

0:06:46 > 0:06:49I'll tell you what's unbelievable is that if this had happened to you -

0:06:49 > 0:06:51this is not my fault! -

0:06:51 > 0:06:53if this had happened to you, Val, I would have understood.

0:06:53 > 0:06:57- Oh, so it' s my fault now, is it? - You're not listening to me!

0:06:57 > 0:07:00Oh, I am listening! I can do nothing BUT listen to you.

0:07:00 > 0:07:02- You're not listening. - Now, you listen to ME!

0:07:02 > 0:07:05- Just listen!- Be quiet! - Listen!- Shut your trap!

0:07:05 > 0:07:07- I can do nothing BUT listen... - I am the person...

0:07:07 > 0:07:11- ..because I can't get a word in edgeways!- ..saying nothing, so listen!

0:07:22 > 0:07:23What is it?

0:07:26 > 0:07:29What is it exactly?

0:07:29 > 0:07:30It's that...

0:07:32 > 0:07:34..you lied to me.

0:07:34 > 0:07:36- Well, given the circumstances...- No!

0:07:36 > 0:07:40In league with the mother of your child

0:07:40 > 0:07:43that I didn't know you had.

0:07:43 > 0:07:44It's that!

0:07:49 > 0:07:53And you can't understand at all why I would do that?

0:07:55 > 0:07:56Val!

0:08:00 > 0:08:02- Val.- Go away.

0:08:02 > 0:08:06What do you know what it's like to have to walk around ASDAs with Jean?

0:08:08 > 0:08:10You've been to ASDA with Jean?

0:08:10 > 0:08:13I was forced into it they don't have a car.

0:08:13 > 0:08:18When? Sorry, that is too much. A cosy little trip to ASDA?

0:08:18 > 0:08:21It was a desultory and sad stroll around

0:08:21 > 0:08:23with someone that I'm forced to be connected to

0:08:23 > 0:08:27that I haven't seen for 30 years, pushing a trolley.

0:08:27 > 0:08:30Oh, it's a shame Liam's 31. He could have sat in the seat.

0:08:30 > 0:08:34- Oh.- Yes! Horrible, what I'm seeing.

0:08:34 > 0:08:37Listen, I spent the afternoon trying to persuade Jean

0:08:37 > 0:08:39not to sell our story to Take A Break magazine.

0:08:39 > 0:08:41What are you talking about?

0:08:41 > 0:08:44They pay you 50 quid.

0:08:44 > 0:08:47"I saw him the paper, he's the father of my son, dot dot dot."

0:08:48 > 0:08:50I paid her 50 quid not to do it.

0:08:50 > 0:08:53Yeah? Well, then you're stupid, because if she still does it,

0:08:53 > 0:08:56she gets another 50 quid, so you can't win there.

0:08:56 > 0:08:59Oh, believe me, I'm well aware that I can't win whatever I do,

0:08:59 > 0:09:02but for what it's worth, that's why I was in ASDA.

0:09:02 > 0:09:04So, you haven't been to the dentist?

0:09:04 > 0:09:06HE SIGHS

0:09:06 > 0:09:09I phoned Mr Burrows, who told me he couldn't help me for a week.

0:09:09 > 0:09:13So I cut my losses, and I tried to head off Jean.

0:09:13 > 0:09:14Another lie!

0:09:14 > 0:09:17You have not heard a single word I've said - not a word!

0:09:17 > 0:09:20- Yeah, well, I'm in shock.- So am I!

0:09:20 > 0:09:23Yeah, but you've had a week longer than me to get used to it!

0:09:31 > 0:09:35Do you know what, Val, I don't buy this any more.

0:09:37 > 0:09:39I'm sorry, but I really don't.

0:09:39 > 0:09:42You've no compassion for my tooth.

0:09:42 > 0:09:44And that says to me your heart

0:09:44 > 0:09:47is really hard about the whole situation.

0:09:50 > 0:09:52I'm looking at you through new eyes.

0:09:54 > 0:09:57After what you said about the restaurant.

0:09:58 > 0:09:59What did I say?

0:09:59 > 0:10:04Oh, just very, even more off with me than you have been.

0:10:05 > 0:10:08Because you clearly don't want me to come.

0:10:30 > 0:10:36Do you see now, though, Roger, your appalling double standards?

0:10:36 > 0:10:39Because just take a little look at them here.

0:10:39 > 0:10:40Get lost.

0:10:40 > 0:10:45I am supposed to understand your nuclear, fully-grown-man son

0:10:45 > 0:10:47that's suddenly appeared,

0:10:47 > 0:10:52but you can't see how your tooth appears from my point of view.

0:10:52 > 0:10:56- I beg your pardon?- You've got no tooth for tomorrow night!

0:10:56 > 0:10:59Yeah - it's a problem. Yeah, I'll be honest.

0:10:59 > 0:11:02Oh, this is just some kind of horrible, sick,

0:11:02 > 0:11:05kind of co-dependency, sick thing it's turning into, right now.

0:11:05 > 0:11:10Oh, this is so selfish of you, Roger. Putting me through this.

0:11:10 > 0:11:14I've got a deputy headship presentation tomorrow morning.

0:11:15 > 0:11:19Not that it matters now, because Pam Bagnall's got it in the bag.

0:11:22 > 0:11:25- Do you know that or is that just how you feel?- I know it.

0:11:25 > 0:11:28Right. So they've appointed, have they?

0:11:29 > 0:11:33Yes. They appointed Pam Bagnall earlier today.

0:11:33 > 0:11:37- Did they?- No, of course they haven't appointed her.

0:11:37 > 0:11:40I'm just rehearsing what I will have to say tomorrow,

0:11:40 > 0:11:42because that IS what will happen.

0:11:42 > 0:11:44And another thing, Roger.

0:11:44 > 0:11:47She took a collage in, and I don't know why.

0:11:47 > 0:11:49What?

0:11:49 > 0:11:53Pam Bagnall. Took a collage into the interview.

0:11:53 > 0:11:56Into the interview. What on earth do you mean?

0:11:56 > 0:11:58Well, Sue's trying to find out what's on it.

0:11:58 > 0:12:00I don't know because it was a rolled up piece of paper.

0:12:00 > 0:12:03Well, how do you know it was a collage?

0:12:03 > 0:12:05You see this is hearsay, now, and invention

0:12:05 > 0:12:07and nerves playing on your...

0:12:07 > 0:12:09As she was going into the interview, she went,

0:12:09 > 0:12:12"Ah, my collage."

0:12:12 > 0:12:16I thought she was being all formal and saying "Ah, my colleague" to me,

0:12:16 > 0:12:19but then she picked up the rolled up piece of paper

0:12:19 > 0:12:21and I thought "Oh, no! She's talking about that."

0:12:21 > 0:12:25- She may well have been saying "colleague."- She wasn't - she's not French.

0:12:25 > 0:12:27No.

0:12:29 > 0:12:34The French are collagists - look at Matisse.

0:12:34 > 0:12:38I can think of nothing in that deputy headship interview

0:12:38 > 0:12:42where I would best give an answer using a collage.

0:12:42 > 0:12:43No.

0:12:43 > 0:12:47No, Roger. My presentation is flat.

0:12:47 > 0:12:49- It's not.- It is.

0:12:49 > 0:12:53I just focus on being head of year, I barely mention food tech.

0:12:53 > 0:12:57- You can tweak it.- No I can't. Pam Bagnall's got a collage.

0:12:57 > 0:13:00I'm the one who's going to come unstuck.

0:13:00 > 0:13:03Well, that's not what it sounded like when I talked to the head.

0:13:12 > 0:13:13What do you mean?

0:13:13 > 0:13:16Ah, no. See, I wasn't going to say this to you,

0:13:16 > 0:13:20it's the sort of thing you don't like, but it's no problem for others.

0:13:20 > 0:13:23- Roger.- Because it's nothing, is why. Because all that happened, Val...

0:13:23 > 0:13:24What have you done?

0:13:24 > 0:13:28Well, I couldn't get through to you on your mobile, so I rang the school.

0:13:28 > 0:13:31- Today?- Yeah, yeah. And the head, you know,

0:13:31 > 0:13:34as she does sometimes at lunchtime...

0:13:34 > 0:13:36picked up the switchboard phone.

0:13:38 > 0:13:41You had no business ringing anybody. This has got absolutely

0:13:41 > 0:13:45- nothing to do with you.- Nothing to do with me? This is the major

0:13:45 > 0:13:47job interview of my wife's whole life.

0:13:47 > 0:13:51Yup. Right. Tell me what you said.

0:13:51 > 0:13:56I just said, "Haven't heard from Val - hope it's gone well."

0:13:56 > 0:13:59Like that? Like you were desperate to know?

0:13:59 > 0:14:03- Like I was leaving a message.- Right, is that it? Is that all you said?

0:14:05 > 0:14:09No, it isn't. Oh, you will probe and probe.

0:14:09 > 0:14:13Roger, I am truly about to faint.

0:14:13 > 0:14:15Please tell me exactly what you said.

0:14:15 > 0:14:18OK. Whole truth.

0:14:18 > 0:14:20I said, "Has it?"

0:14:20 > 0:14:24I said, "Hope it's all gone well. Has it?" And she said,

0:14:24 > 0:14:28"It would be inappropriate for me to discuss that."

0:14:29 > 0:14:31That was the only bad bit.

0:14:31 > 0:14:34Oh, please. Somebody help me through life.

0:14:34 > 0:14:37And I said, "Yes, of course, of course,"

0:14:37 > 0:14:40and then we had a normal conversation about the school bonsai trees.

0:14:40 > 0:14:43- She won't even have registered it. - She will!

0:14:43 > 0:14:46If it's a close run thing between me and Pam,

0:14:46 > 0:14:50something about that will have wormed its way into her head

0:14:50 > 0:14:51and she'll think, "Hang on,

0:14:51 > 0:14:55- "that Stevenson couple are a pair of nightmares."- Excuse me.

0:14:55 > 0:14:59The head needs to take some responsibility for picking up the switchboard phone.

0:14:59 > 0:15:02If that had been me, I'd have thought "I shouldn't do this

0:15:02 > 0:15:05"because it compromises people, like Roger."

0:15:05 > 0:15:10She won't! She'll think, "Roger Stevenson has rung up

0:15:10 > 0:15:14"to find out how it went." All the time tripping me up.

0:15:14 > 0:15:17Well, don't allow it to. Marshall your mind. SHE SIGHS

0:15:17 > 0:15:21- And if it's as bad as you think it is...- It is, oh, it really is.

0:15:21 > 0:15:24..allow me to accompany you to the dinner to pull it back.

0:15:24 > 0:15:28- No, Roger.- Don't let my mistake, if it is a mistake, ruin it.

0:15:28 > 0:15:33Yeah. You're right, actually. Yeah. I'm pulling out.

0:15:33 > 0:15:36Actually, why didn't I think of that before!

0:15:36 > 0:15:37Yeah, I'm pulling out.

0:15:37 > 0:15:41Doesn't matter, anyway, because my life is complete rubbish.

0:15:41 > 0:15:42So, yeah. Pulling out.

0:15:42 > 0:15:45You can't pull out of the dinner, it's for the candidates.

0:15:45 > 0:15:48No, not the dinner, Roger, the whole thing - the whole deputy headship.

0:15:48 > 0:15:51- I'm withdrawing. - No, you can't!

0:15:51 > 0:15:54Why not? My husband's been round ASDA with the mother of his child

0:15:54 > 0:15:57and ruined my candidacy all in the same day.

0:15:57 > 0:15:59Where are you going?

0:15:59 > 0:16:02I'm going to e-mail, copy everyone in,

0:16:02 > 0:16:05- so there's no doubt including Bagnall.- No!

0:16:05 > 0:16:08Will you excuse me, please?

0:16:10 > 0:16:12Val, please do not pull out.

0:16:12 > 0:16:13No, I am.

0:16:13 > 0:16:16Don't pull out, Val, you'll massively regret it.

0:16:16 > 0:16:21No, I am. I am pulling out, and there's nothing you can do about it.

0:16:21 > 0:16:24You are this close to a deputy headship, Valerie Stevenson,

0:16:24 > 0:16:25I can taste it!

0:16:25 > 0:16:29Can you? You must be sucking it up through a straw, then.

0:16:29 > 0:16:33"Dear to whom it may concern..."

0:16:33 > 0:16:35Val, I am begging you.

0:16:35 > 0:16:38"..I regret to have to inform you..."

0:16:38 > 0:16:40You're giving me a heart attack.

0:16:40 > 0:16:43"..I withdraw my deputy headship application."

0:16:43 > 0:16:47This has all blown up over a tooth, and the gap can be plugged.

0:16:47 > 0:16:49"After much thought and soul-searching..."

0:16:49 > 0:16:53- Not that they care.- Of course they care, you're brilliant!

0:16:53 > 0:16:55No I'm not, I'm quite mediocre, really.

0:16:55 > 0:16:57Oh!

0:16:57 > 0:17:01"..don't feel I would be up to the job or suited to..."

0:17:01 > 0:17:04On extreme medical grounds, you are giving...

0:17:04 > 0:17:05I'm asking you to stop.

0:17:05 > 0:17:09"..or suited to the post. Best wishes. Val."

0:17:09 > 0:17:11Right. Sending it.

0:17:11 > 0:17:14No, you're not!

0:17:14 > 0:17:19Oh! That doesn't matter at all, because I can just plug it in again.

0:17:19 > 0:17:24You arrogant, controlling man who pretends to be a feminist template.

0:17:24 > 0:17:27You can't pretend to be a template. Do keep calm.

0:17:27 > 0:17:28"Oh, do keep calm!"

0:17:28 > 0:17:32Sorry to inform you, Roger, you don't pull that off without a top tooth.

0:17:32 > 0:17:34Well I'll give you a tip. Please don't try any of your

0:17:34 > 0:17:37immature impersonations with these people,

0:17:37 > 0:17:40and I would try to be a bit calmer than this pantomime.

0:17:40 > 0:17:42Oh, really? Yeah, because you're

0:17:42 > 0:17:45brilliant at keeping calm, aren't you?

0:17:45 > 0:17:48And you know why that is, Roger? Because in your heart,

0:17:48 > 0:17:53you're very right wing. Very right wing indeed.

0:17:53 > 0:17:56HE CHOKES This is coming from my very core.

0:17:57 > 0:18:00Too much! You insult my family honour.

0:18:00 > 0:18:02Oh, do I? Or do you?

0:18:02 > 0:18:04Keep calm, Roger.

0:18:04 > 0:18:06My grandfather was a Jarrow marcher.

0:18:06 > 0:18:10No, no. I have, myself, twice attended the Durham Miners' Gala.

0:18:10 > 0:18:13Bored!

0:18:13 > 0:18:15Do you know, I think I'm going to divorce you

0:18:15 > 0:18:18and marry an openly right-wing person.

0:18:18 > 0:18:22You need to apologise to me in the most profound sense.

0:18:22 > 0:18:25Oh, right, do I? Mmm.

0:18:25 > 0:18:28Sorry, just slipped out.

0:18:28 > 0:18:30A little bit like your phone call to the head.

0:18:30 > 0:18:32In the meantime, I'm going to go back in there,

0:18:32 > 0:18:35plug it back in and resign.

0:18:35 > 0:18:37You're still pulling out?

0:18:37 > 0:18:40- Yeah, did you think I didn't mean it? I mean it.- Don't!

0:19:00 > 0:19:04I'm warning you, if you go ahead and do that, I'm divorcing you

0:19:04 > 0:19:06and there'll be no way back, because I will.

0:19:06 > 0:19:10And I warn you back, Val, I will not allow you to self-destruct

0:19:10 > 0:19:12because of me, which I can put right tomorrow night.

0:19:12 > 0:19:14You just watch me.

0:19:17 > 0:19:21Right, well, my whole presentation was on there, and I'm divorcing you.

0:19:21 > 0:19:24Oh, right, that's it. Bring on the big guns, divorce.

0:19:24 > 0:19:26I can replace that plug immediately.

0:19:26 > 0:19:28And I am calm.

0:19:28 > 0:19:31Just quite calmly now dividing up our assets in my head.

0:19:31 > 0:19:34Yeah, right, I agree. Go ahead. I think I will divorce you, too,

0:19:34 > 0:19:37and I'll tell you why, exactly. Because everything I've done,

0:19:37 > 0:19:39including that and lying to you about Liam,

0:19:39 > 0:19:43has been done out of love for you, and it's not enough.

0:19:43 > 0:19:45Just makes you angry.

0:19:45 > 0:19:47PHONE BEEPS

0:19:52 > 0:19:54If you'd found out you had a child...

0:19:56 > 0:19:58..and you'd found out like I had done,

0:19:58 > 0:20:01in a shocking way,

0:20:01 > 0:20:02and you had to tell me,

0:20:04 > 0:20:07in our circumstances, I would have helped you.

0:20:09 > 0:20:11I would have tried to understand.

0:20:12 > 0:20:15I wouldn't have been like this.

0:20:17 > 0:20:20I wouldn't have done this to you.

0:20:56 > 0:20:57Roger.

0:20:59 > 0:21:03Roger, I know what was on Pam Bagnall's collage.

0:21:05 > 0:21:07Sue's just texted me.

0:21:12 > 0:21:14It was a photo montage

0:21:14 > 0:21:18of all the trips that Pam has taken the kids on for history.

0:21:18 > 0:21:20To show her human side.

0:21:26 > 0:21:30Sue says it was called "History, my history."

0:21:34 > 0:21:35So...

0:21:36 > 0:21:39..it was in fact a, a very good idea.

0:22:00 > 0:22:02HE SNIFFS

0:22:11 > 0:22:13What on earth are you doing?

0:22:13 > 0:22:15- I don't even like them.- Put it out.

0:22:15 > 0:22:17It makes me feel sick.

0:22:17 > 0:22:18Where did you get it from?

0:22:18 > 0:22:21I bought them this morning after the row

0:22:21 > 0:22:24- and to keep me calm for the interview.- Give it to me.

0:22:30 > 0:22:33You know, it's a terrible thing to say, Val, but sometimes...

0:22:33 > 0:22:36Mmm. Actually feel quite dizzy.

0:22:36 > 0:22:37That's cos you don't smoke.

0:22:42 > 0:22:44"Cigarettes kill."

0:22:46 > 0:22:49- So what.- Val.

0:23:09 > 0:23:13Insurmountable. Everything.

0:23:13 > 0:23:14Is it?

0:23:15 > 0:23:17Have you pulled out?

0:23:17 > 0:23:20No there's no connection on the laptop, and I'm not going to ring anyone.

0:23:20 > 0:23:22Do you want to pull out?

0:23:26 > 0:23:29I'll make you a soft pasta for your tea.

0:23:59 > 0:24:01I don't believe this.

0:24:01 > 0:24:04- Roger, come here, come here, come here.- What?

0:24:06 > 0:24:08What does that look like?

0:24:08 > 0:24:09Clove of garlic.

0:24:09 > 0:24:14No that's what it is. What it looks like, Roger, is a tooth.

0:24:14 > 0:24:17Tooth? Do you know, I've never noticed that before.

0:24:17 > 0:24:18If you're not looking...

0:24:18 > 0:24:22But the tooth texture is absolutely remarkable.

0:24:22 > 0:24:25- How does that help us? - Go like that.

0:24:25 > 0:24:27You see? It's fantastic. Obviously it's far too big,

0:24:27 > 0:24:30and I'll need to be accurate to the millimetre,

0:24:30 > 0:24:34but we can wedge it in there, don't even need any glue.

0:24:34 > 0:24:36Actually, just a minute.

0:24:45 > 0:24:47What's happening to it now?

0:24:47 > 0:24:50I'm just colouring it with balsamic vinegar.

0:24:51 > 0:24:54It'll stand out as not a tooth if it's bright white.

0:24:54 > 0:24:58Oh, you are flying now, you are firing on all cylinders.

0:24:58 > 0:25:01There is no way that prize will not be yours.

0:25:01 > 0:25:06Right, my only difficulty now is the curve of the clove

0:25:06 > 0:25:09and the thickness of a human tooth.

0:25:09 > 0:25:12Just a minute.

0:25:12 > 0:25:14Very flat, yes.

0:25:14 > 0:25:17I'm going to use the technique I use

0:25:17 > 0:25:21on those very cubic chips.

0:25:21 > 0:25:24But of course, you see, it doesn't matter if it overlaps at the back.

0:25:28 > 0:25:30Right, try this.

0:25:31 > 0:25:35I've got a whole garlic, so we can have plenty of dry runs.

0:25:35 > 0:25:37- There. Does that hurt?- Mmm.

0:25:37 > 0:25:40Right, give us a smile.

0:25:40 > 0:25:43Well, not a big smile, Roger. Try to control your upper lip.

0:25:43 > 0:25:44Hang on.

0:25:45 > 0:25:48Mmm. Maybe don't smile, then, Roger.

0:25:48 > 0:25:53No. No, after my faux pas... No, that's good, that's good.

0:25:53 > 0:25:56Cos I want to appear, you know, serious and in control.

0:25:56 > 0:25:57Yep.

0:25:57 > 0:26:01Right, so, let's have a look in the hall mirror.

0:26:08 > 0:26:12Yeah, I think that's damn passable.

0:26:12 > 0:26:16- Is it painful?- Sore.- Unbearable? - No.- Good.

0:26:18 > 0:26:21I'm sorry, Val, but you're a genius.

0:26:22 > 0:26:26Well, the huge piece of luck which you cannot plan

0:26:26 > 0:26:29is that it's at an Italian.

0:26:29 > 0:26:32That's where this idea strikes gold.

0:26:32 > 0:26:36- Can I take it out now Val? - Yeah. But keep it, cos I'll need to use it as a template.

0:26:39 > 0:26:42Now, what we must do is get there first.

0:26:42 > 0:26:44And then we need to sit at the end of the table.

0:26:44 > 0:26:47I'll sit right opposite you, and that way when

0:26:47 > 0:26:50you turn to them, they'll only be able to see that one.

0:26:50 > 0:26:53Excellent, yeah. Get there early to facilitate seating.

0:26:53 > 0:26:56Yep. And what we must do is order the garlic bread

0:26:56 > 0:26:59and put it bang in front of you before the others arrive.

0:26:59 > 0:27:00I'll take a strategic bite.

0:27:00 > 0:27:02Superb.

0:27:02 > 0:27:04And what to do Roger,

0:27:04 > 0:27:07order the penne, and then spoon it in past the clove tooth,

0:27:07 > 0:27:10and then just use your tongue to mash it up.

0:27:10 > 0:27:13Actually, no, no. Look, feel free to use your back teeth.

0:27:13 > 0:27:16Yeah. Ooh! Sorry. Stabbed.

0:27:16 > 0:27:19Benefit is, it's healing.

0:27:19 > 0:27:21Mmm. hopefully it might ward off Pam Bagnall.

0:27:21 > 0:27:23No, she's one that you think is dead

0:27:23 > 0:27:25and she suddenly shoots her hand up

0:27:25 > 0:27:27through the ground and grabs your ankle.

0:27:29 > 0:27:32Now. Back-up plan.

0:27:32 > 0:27:36I'll take a spare, and if at any point in the evening

0:27:36 > 0:27:40you think you need it, just give me a little signal, like...

0:27:40 > 0:27:43and we'll go off to the toilet together and I will slip it to you.

0:27:43 > 0:27:46Yeah, and if the worst comes to the worst and it happens at the table,

0:27:46 > 0:27:49I'll just go, "Oh, my tooth! Ha-ha-ha!

0:27:49 > 0:27:53"It just fell out! But I won't make a fuss, I'm mature.

0:27:53 > 0:27:57- "And Val and me, we're copers." - Yeah.
