Roger's fighting unfair dismissal | 0:00:02 | 0:00:04 | |
and I'm on a shortlist for a Deputy Headship! Woo! | 0:00:04 | 0:00:07 | |
But, Roger, you've won. | 0:00:07 | 0:00:09 | |
So, Rog, all of this is over. | 0:00:09 | 0:00:13 | |
Huh. It's over. | 0:00:13 | 0:00:15 | |
It's over! | 0:00:15 | 0:00:17 | |
I have a 31-year-old son called Liam... | 0:00:17 | 0:00:21 | |
..who's alive. | 0:00:22 | 0:00:23 | |
-I'm through to the second day. -Oh, Val! | 0:00:23 | 0:00:26 | |
Well, it's only the second day. I'm containing it. | 0:00:26 | 0:00:29 | |
-Who else got through? -Pam Bagnall. | 0:00:29 | 0:00:32 | |
I will hunt you down and kill you like a dog. | 0:00:32 | 0:00:36 | |
-You lied to me. -Well, given the circumstance... -No! | 0:00:36 | 0:00:39 | |
In league with the mother of your child that I didn't know you had. | 0:00:39 | 0:00:45 | |
-You were fine in the taxi. -Don't speak to me. -Oh... | 0:00:58 | 0:01:03 | |
Are you OK? | 0:01:04 | 0:01:06 | |
Oh! Ooh, I can't breathe. I can't get my breath. | 0:01:06 | 0:01:09 | |
You can't get your breath? | 0:01:09 | 0:01:10 | |
-I know I look contorted, I'm just trying to yawn! -Stop speaking then. | 0:01:10 | 0:01:16 | |
Don't speak to me. You're breaking my concentration. | 0:01:16 | 0:01:18 | |
Ah, no good. I just need to yawn. | 0:01:20 | 0:01:23 | |
Shall I see if we've got any Otravine. Is your nose blocked? | 0:01:23 | 0:01:26 | |
-It won't help me. Won't help me. -Well, are you OK? | 0:01:26 | 0:01:29 | |
Stop asking me if I'm OK, I haven't got the breath to spare. | 0:01:29 | 0:01:32 | |
Right, right, sit down on the stairs. Can you do that, Roger? | 0:01:32 | 0:01:36 | |
-Oooh. Panic attack. -There's no point saying, "Panic attack!" | 0:01:36 | 0:01:40 | |
You're just winding yourself up more. | 0:01:40 | 0:01:42 | |
There'll be a reason why he didn't come. | 0:01:42 | 0:01:45 | |
-It's not Liam, it's a panic att... -Stop panicking! | 0:01:45 | 0:01:48 | |
Just don't panic! | 0:01:48 | 0:01:50 | |
For God's sake, it's as if you're having a heart attack! | 0:01:52 | 0:01:55 | |
I'm not! | 0:01:55 | 0:01:56 | |
Liam will have got mixed up. He'll have gone to the wrong pub. | 0:01:57 | 0:02:02 | |
Here. Breathe into this, Roger. | 0:02:03 | 0:02:06 | |
-Oh! I thought a bird... -No! Paper bag. | 0:02:06 | 0:02:10 | |
It was good, wasn't it? Sitting in the noisy pub | 0:02:10 | 0:02:12 | |
waiting for your son you've suddenly got! Sorry, Roger. | 0:02:12 | 0:02:15 | |
-Eh? -Well, it's just I'm not having a panic attack, am I? | 0:02:15 | 0:02:18 | |
And I'm the one that's massively entitled. Had to say that. Sorry! | 0:02:18 | 0:02:22 | |
Oooh, I just want to yawn. I'm desperate to yawn. Urgh! Urgh! | 0:02:22 | 0:02:26 | |
It's not because Liam forgot. He just didn't want to come. | 0:02:26 | 0:02:30 | |
No, you don't know that. We don't know him. | 0:02:30 | 0:02:34 | |
Oh! Why don't you look at the light-bulb, Roger? | 0:02:34 | 0:02:37 | |
-That's a sneeze. -Oh. | 0:02:37 | 0:02:39 | |
-PHONE RINGS -Liam. Liam! | 0:02:39 | 0:02:42 | |
Hello? Oh, hello, Barbara. | 0:02:46 | 0:02:49 | |
Look, I'm in the middle of a panic attack. Let me pass you to Val. | 0:02:49 | 0:02:52 | |
Hello, Barbara. Can I ring you back? | 0:02:55 | 0:02:58 | |
Oh. Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. | 0:02:58 | 0:03:01 | |
When? Oh, dear. | 0:03:01 | 0:03:05 | |
No, no, you can't go down that road, Barbara. | 0:03:05 | 0:03:08 | |
Well, you were separated, | 0:03:08 | 0:03:10 | |
he could have lived for another ten years...but he hasn't. Mmm. | 0:03:10 | 0:03:14 | |
But you didn't know that when you refused, you see. | 0:03:14 | 0:03:17 | |
KNOCK ON DOOR | 0:03:17 | 0:03:19 | |
With the best will in the world, Barbara, yes. | 0:03:19 | 0:03:24 | |
Barbara, will you just excuse me a minute, please? | 0:03:24 | 0:03:27 | |
There's someone at the front door! Yes, sorry, Barbara. | 0:03:27 | 0:03:31 | |
Liam! Liam! | 0:03:34 | 0:03:36 | |
Barbara, there's major nicky-knocky-nye door activity | 0:03:36 | 0:03:39 | |
-in our area. -Val! Help me, please! | 0:03:39 | 0:03:43 | |
Barbara, I'm really sorry. I'm going to have to go, | 0:03:43 | 0:03:46 | |
So, sympathy. So sorry, yeah. | 0:03:46 | 0:03:48 | |
Yeah, really am very sorry. | 0:03:48 | 0:03:50 | |
Yeah, I have to go, Barbara. | 0:03:50 | 0:03:53 | |
Yes. Barbara, listen! I have to go. Rest in peace. Bye-bye. | 0:03:53 | 0:03:57 | |
Roger! | 0:03:58 | 0:04:00 | |
Liam! | 0:04:00 | 0:04:01 | |
Roger! Ohhh. | 0:04:01 | 0:04:03 | |
Gone. | 0:04:07 | 0:04:08 | |
Gone. Oh, Val. Val. | 0:04:09 | 0:04:13 | |
-Was it him, Roger? -I think it was him. | 0:04:13 | 0:04:16 | |
-Did you see him? -No. But it was. | 0:04:16 | 0:04:19 | |
-Thank you. -Oh, Rog! And you're wet through! | 0:04:19 | 0:04:24 | |
-It was him, Val. -Maybe he'll be back later. | 0:04:24 | 0:04:27 | |
I don't think he will. | 0:04:27 | 0:04:29 | |
Did you not hear me? I was doing that. | 0:04:31 | 0:04:35 | |
Oh. He'd be here now. Come and get dried, Rog. | 0:04:49 | 0:04:53 | |
No, I know, I know. What did Barbara want? | 0:05:01 | 0:05:04 | |
-Uncle Jack's died. -Right. | 0:05:04 | 0:05:07 | |
I hope Liam didn't think we were in because the lights were on. | 0:05:07 | 0:05:10 | |
Typical Barbara! We don't even know Uncle Jack. | 0:05:10 | 0:05:13 | |
We DO know him. He's your uncle. | 0:05:13 | 0:05:15 | |
He's the estranged husband of my dad's cousin Barbara. | 0:05:15 | 0:05:20 | |
Uncle is stretching it. | 0:05:20 | 0:05:22 | |
Well, we call him Uncle Jack. | 0:05:22 | 0:05:24 | |
-Could you pick him out in a line-up? -Uh...yeah. | 0:05:24 | 0:05:27 | |
Well, I couldn't. Not unless the line-up was in context, | 0:05:27 | 0:05:31 | |
Auntie Nelly's blue settee and he was sitting bang next to Barbara. | 0:05:31 | 0:05:35 | |
I'd say, "Yep, that's him. I'd recognise him anywhere." | 0:05:35 | 0:05:38 | |
If I passed him on the street, I wouldn't. | 0:05:38 | 0:05:40 | |
Well, he's not in kill-the-fatted-calf territory, no. | 0:05:40 | 0:05:43 | |
No, but Liam is. You're his dad. | 0:05:43 | 0:05:47 | |
Well, you're his biological dad. I don't know what you are. | 0:05:47 | 0:05:51 | |
We don't know Liam either. I've met him once. | 0:05:51 | 0:05:55 | |
OK, OK. | 0:05:55 | 0:05:57 | |
-Well, what about this? Has Liam got a car? -Yeah. | 0:05:57 | 0:06:01 | |
See. You know that. | 0:06:01 | 0:06:03 | |
I wish he was our son. | 0:06:11 | 0:06:13 | |
The advantage there is we'd know him. | 0:06:14 | 0:06:16 | |
Tim and Cath Hooper got divorced just because they moved house | 0:06:19 | 0:06:24 | |
-and don't like it. -Yeah. | 0:06:24 | 0:06:26 | |
Well, we haven't done that! With all this. | 0:06:26 | 0:06:29 | |
People run for the bus at different speeds. | 0:06:29 | 0:06:33 | |
We've lost a son, so finding a son... | 0:06:34 | 0:06:39 | |
How can I have a son with another woman and not with you? | 0:06:40 | 0:06:43 | |
Well, I can think it was 12 years before I met you | 0:06:43 | 0:06:49 | |
but you were still mine. | 0:06:49 | 0:06:51 | |
Even though I didn't know you. Oh, I didn't know you but I did. | 0:06:51 | 0:06:57 | |
And even if I missed the time and somebody else had got you, | 0:06:58 | 0:07:02 | |
you'd still be mine, Roger. You'd have maybe come across me | 0:07:02 | 0:07:07 | |
when I brought a school trip to the Winter Gardens | 0:07:07 | 0:07:11 | |
and we'd get on far too well and I'd go home to my other husband | 0:07:11 | 0:07:16 | |
that isn't you, Roger, and our seven alive kids, but even then, I'd know. | 0:07:16 | 0:07:22 | |
Thank you, Val. | 0:07:22 | 0:07:24 | |
Because I often think I'm a wanker. | 0:07:25 | 0:07:27 | |
You know, really, I'm... Oh, shut up, Roger. | 0:07:28 | 0:07:32 | |
I disgust myself with my endless self-analysis | 0:07:32 | 0:07:36 | |
which only contributes to my neurosis in the long run. | 0:07:36 | 0:07:40 | |
D'you think I'm like that? | 0:07:40 | 0:07:41 | |
I'm stupid. No wonder Liam didn't want to come to the pub. | 0:07:41 | 0:07:46 | |
You've only met him once, at his mum's house, and you didn't say much. | 0:07:46 | 0:07:50 | |
That can't be the reason he didn't come. | 0:07:50 | 0:07:52 | |
But I'm not a very surprising person! After a very short time, | 0:07:52 | 0:07:56 | |
-people know me quite well. -I think that's a good thing. | 0:07:56 | 0:07:59 | |
There's nothing hidden. | 0:07:59 | 0:08:00 | |
My stupid broad strokes, strong likes, prejudices! | 0:08:00 | 0:08:06 | |
Hmmph! Snore! | 0:08:06 | 0:08:09 | |
No, I'm sorry. I would not want to be my son. | 0:08:10 | 0:08:13 | |
When Liam gets to know you, you will be a wonderful dad. | 0:08:13 | 0:08:17 | |
-Now come on! Do you want some pyjamas? -Yeah. | 0:08:17 | 0:08:21 | |
Are those the only pyjamas I've got clean? | 0:08:24 | 0:08:27 | |
Well, d'you want them or a track suit? | 0:08:27 | 0:08:29 | |
No, I'll have the pyjamas. Christ, what a fool is man. | 0:08:29 | 0:08:34 | |
These are your only pyjamas clean on a night like this. | 0:08:34 | 0:08:37 | |
I've just been saying gorgeous things to you. | 0:08:37 | 0:08:40 | |
I just don't think you can be a dad to someone who's already 31. | 0:08:40 | 0:08:43 | |
Well, be an uncle figure, then! | 0:08:43 | 0:08:45 | |
Yeah, like Uncle Jack whose funeral we're not going to. | 0:08:45 | 0:08:48 | |
Roger! I am going to the funeral, actually. It's on Saturday. | 0:08:48 | 0:08:53 | |
Yeah, on Saturday, I'm opening all the post | 0:08:53 | 0:08:55 | |
I couldn't face during the tribunal and there's a lot. | 0:08:55 | 0:08:58 | |
Well, I'll go on the train. | 0:08:58 | 0:09:00 | |
There's engineering works at the weekend. | 0:09:00 | 0:09:02 | |
You're going to have to figure out whether you mourn him enough | 0:09:02 | 0:09:05 | |
-to sit on a bus replacement service. -Oh, poor Jack. | 0:09:05 | 0:09:09 | |
-Yeah. Wasn't there...? Didn't he...? -Yeah. | 0:09:09 | 0:09:14 | |
Dad saw him at the Liberal Club with his arms around two women. | 0:09:14 | 0:09:17 | |
-He wasn't supposed to tell Barbara, but everybody knew. -That's right. | 0:09:17 | 0:09:22 | |
Oh, good. I don't think my nerves could cope with a cork. | 0:09:23 | 0:09:27 | |
Oh, Val, your phone's blinking. | 0:09:27 | 0:09:29 | |
It won't be Liam. He hasn't got my number. | 0:09:29 | 0:09:31 | |
It'll be Barbara, I'll ring her back. | 0:09:31 | 0:09:33 | |
-Oh, please, let's not do that now. -No. Although you should ring Liam. | 0:09:33 | 0:09:37 | |
Oh! | 0:09:41 | 0:09:42 | |
Hang on. This is Pam Bagnall. | 0:09:42 | 0:09:45 | |
-Eh? -Yeah, she's left me a message at 21.13. | 0:09:45 | 0:09:50 | |
I'll bet she's drunk, celebrating, calling to gloat. | 0:09:50 | 0:09:53 | |
-How low. -Yeah. | 0:09:53 | 0:09:56 | |
Oh. | 0:09:57 | 0:09:58 | |
She doesn't know she's rung me. | 0:10:00 | 0:10:03 | |
Who's that in the background? | 0:10:03 | 0:10:05 | |
-She's in Sainsbury's. -What? | 0:10:07 | 0:10:10 | |
-Just a minute. -But your name's way down her alphabet. V! -Shh-shh! | 0:10:11 | 0:10:15 | |
-Oh, she's called you by mistake. -No, no, no, no, no. | 0:10:15 | 0:10:19 | |
Pam Bagnall, according to the evidence | 0:10:28 | 0:10:31 | |
I now have in my possession, is addicted to Nurofen Plus. | 0:10:31 | 0:10:36 | |
Give me the phone. | 0:10:36 | 0:10:37 | |
-Who's that she's speaking to? -Mr Bagnall. | 0:10:41 | 0:10:44 | |
Yeah, I recognise his voice from the restaurant last week. | 0:10:44 | 0:10:48 | |
-36 Nurofen Plus! -Yeah, but keep listening! | 0:10:51 | 0:10:54 | |
Does she say, "You get the extra two boxes. | 0:10:54 | 0:10:57 | |
-"He won't serve me with any more Nurofen Plus?" -Yeah. | 0:10:57 | 0:10:59 | |
That's her talking to the pharmacist at Sainsbury's! | 0:10:59 | 0:11:03 | |
-She doesn't know she's phoned you! -No! -This is dynamite, Val. | 0:11:03 | 0:11:07 | |
-How? -Well, she's addicted to Nurofen Plus. | 0:11:07 | 0:11:10 | |
Yeah. So what? | 0:11:10 | 0:11:12 | |
This could all be tied in with the Deputy Headship dirty tricks. | 0:11:12 | 0:11:16 | |
Yes, but even so, Nurofen Plus are legal. | 0:11:16 | 0:11:20 | |
No, Roger. I can't touch her. She's got the Deputy Headship. | 0:11:20 | 0:11:23 | |
How is this going to help me? | 0:11:23 | 0:11:25 | |
You have knowledge about Pam Bagnall that you did not have before. | 0:11:25 | 0:11:30 | |
No, I certainly did not. It's a very telling insight. | 0:11:30 | 0:11:34 | |
Knowledge is power with a person. | 0:11:34 | 0:11:36 | |
I'm just trying to think how to use it. I'll come up with something. | 0:11:36 | 0:11:40 | |
You shouldn't be so desperate for a box of Nurofen Plus | 0:11:40 | 0:11:45 | |
-unless something's wrong with you. -Is there something wrong with her? | 0:11:45 | 0:11:49 | |
Not that I know of. | 0:11:49 | 0:11:51 | |
-Is she experiencing pain down her left side? -No. | 0:11:51 | 0:11:53 | |
-Frequent headaches, loss of vision, anything like that? -No. | 0:11:53 | 0:11:57 | |
-Has she signed the contract of work? -I don't know. She starts next week. | 0:11:57 | 0:12:01 | |
-You see, I'm thinking, if she dies in post... -Roger! | 0:12:01 | 0:12:05 | |
No, I think it's far more likely that she got addicted to them | 0:12:05 | 0:12:10 | |
-during the stress of the Deputy Headship race. -She's addicted. | 0:12:10 | 0:12:14 | |
Someone who goes out in this weather for something is desperate. | 0:12:14 | 0:12:17 | |
-Roger, if we're going to talk about the Deputy Headship... -We are not. | 0:12:17 | 0:12:21 | |
..I'm going to ask you to crush up half an aspirin. | 0:12:21 | 0:12:24 | |
The woman is a silent assassin! | 0:12:24 | 0:12:26 | |
-Roger. -Enough. | 0:12:26 | 0:12:28 | |
Roger, if you would join me, please. | 0:12:29 | 0:12:32 | |
Rest in peace, Uncle Jack. | 0:12:34 | 0:12:36 | |
Uncle Jack. | 0:12:36 | 0:12:37 | |
RAIN IS POURING | 0:12:51 | 0:12:53 | |
Why did you do that? | 0:12:59 | 0:13:01 | |
Just in case he comes back. Just... | 0:13:01 | 0:13:04 | |
Instinct? | 0:13:04 | 0:13:06 | |
Yeah. Just a minute. | 0:13:08 | 0:13:11 | |
There he is. | 0:13:22 | 0:13:24 | |
He's in his car. Is that Liam? | 0:13:24 | 0:13:26 | |
Yes. | 0:13:31 | 0:13:32 | |
Right. I need you to stay calm now, Roger. | 0:13:32 | 0:13:37 | |
I absolutely understand this. It's like an animal smelling its parent. | 0:13:37 | 0:13:42 | |
-Yeah. -Opening the door was great. It was great that you did that! | 0:13:42 | 0:13:46 | |
-Why? -Well, it's instinct. | 0:13:46 | 0:13:49 | |
I need you to do exactly as I say. Put the lamps on. | 0:13:49 | 0:13:53 | |
Please help me. I feel frightened. | 0:13:55 | 0:13:58 | |
No, no. Allow him his family instinct. | 0:13:58 | 0:14:01 | |
He needs to see you, he needs to see us. | 0:14:01 | 0:14:05 | |
Right, come back to the window. | 0:14:05 | 0:14:08 | |
Let him see that it's all right. | 0:14:08 | 0:14:10 | |
This is much better than meeting in the pub. He's right, now just... | 0:14:10 | 0:14:15 | |
Hi there. | 0:14:15 | 0:14:17 | |
I understand. I'm not coming out. | 0:14:17 | 0:14:21 | |
Look like a person, Roger, not a puppet! | 0:14:21 | 0:14:24 | |
Oh, look! He's like you. He's nervous. | 0:14:24 | 0:14:27 | |
Ohh! | 0:14:27 | 0:14:30 | |
I'm very keen to come across like the stepmother you'd want. | 0:14:30 | 0:14:33 | |
-Not like the horrible Baroness in The Sound Of Music. -You will. | 0:14:33 | 0:14:38 | |
I want to be like Julie Andrews. | 0:14:38 | 0:14:41 | |
And you can be the, um...oh, the Uncle Max. | 0:14:41 | 0:14:44 | |
-Eh? -Uncle Max? | 0:14:46 | 0:14:48 | |
From The Sound of Music. Uncle Max from Salzburg. | 0:14:48 | 0:14:51 | |
The one that brings the puppet show! The one that the children like. | 0:14:51 | 0:14:55 | |
-Oh, right. -Yeah. | 0:14:55 | 0:14:56 | |
He's funny. The Uncle Max is funny. Pull a funny face. | 0:14:57 | 0:15:01 | |
Yeah. | 0:15:03 | 0:15:05 | |
No, hang on, hang on. Uncle Max is criminally un-political | 0:15:05 | 0:15:09 | |
in Nazi-occupied Austria! | 0:15:09 | 0:15:10 | |
Yeah, give it a rest for once in your life, Roger. | 0:15:10 | 0:15:14 | |
Fine, yeah, I agree, yeah. I've done a funny face. | 0:15:14 | 0:15:17 | |
OK. | 0:15:17 | 0:15:18 | |
You know, I'm not sure people should speak at first. | 0:15:18 | 0:15:22 | |
He needs to sense you. | 0:15:22 | 0:15:24 | |
Why didn't we think of it? It's a good idea. | 0:15:25 | 0:15:28 | |
I called his name. I hope he heard. | 0:15:28 | 0:15:32 | |
Julie Andrews on the bed in the storm. | 0:15:33 | 0:15:37 | |
-My God, that film's a work of genius. -Yeah. | 0:15:37 | 0:15:41 | |
Oh, OK. He's leaving now. CAR ENGINE STARTS | 0:15:41 | 0:15:45 | |
Just very, very encouraging. | 0:15:45 | 0:15:47 | |
# Goodbye! # | 0:15:47 | 0:15:53 | |
He's not waving back. | 0:15:53 | 0:15:54 | |
He's driving off, he's not... | 0:15:56 | 0:15:58 | |
..it's not him. | 0:16:02 | 0:16:04 | |
-What's not? -The man in the car, it's not Liam. | 0:16:05 | 0:16:08 | |
-What do you mean? -The man we were waving to, it's not... | 0:16:08 | 0:16:12 | |
-I'm sorry, Val. -Well, who was it? | 0:16:12 | 0:16:16 | |
-I don't know. -Roger, who have we been waving at? | 0:16:16 | 0:16:19 | |
-Well, that bloke, whoever he was. -Why did you think it was Liam? | 0:16:19 | 0:16:23 | |
Val, I've only met him once. | 0:16:23 | 0:16:25 | |
-Anyway, you're the person who said it was him. -I've never met him! | 0:16:25 | 0:16:30 | |
I don't know! I saw dark hair in a car and I went with you. | 0:16:30 | 0:16:34 | |
Well, he does look quite like the man we were waving at. | 0:16:34 | 0:16:37 | |
I asked you, "Is it him?" You said, "Yes." | 0:16:37 | 0:16:42 | |
-I whispered the yes because I was almost sure! -Oh! | 0:16:42 | 0:16:45 | |
And almost in these circumstances is...well, you grab what you can! | 0:16:45 | 0:16:48 | |
How much have you had to drink? | 0:16:48 | 0:16:50 | |
No, no, you said that you couldn't spot Uncle Jack in a line-up | 0:16:50 | 0:16:54 | |
-and you've known him for 50 years. -Well, you need glasses for every day, | 0:16:54 | 0:16:58 | |
and that has confirmed it! | 0:16:58 | 0:16:59 | |
I'm just questioning what that man is doing sitting in a car, watching. | 0:16:59 | 0:17:03 | |
What's he got out of it? | 0:17:03 | 0:17:04 | |
Well, he hasn't set out to mock us. We've mocked ourselves. | 0:17:04 | 0:17:08 | |
Oh, no, Val! Life's mocked us. These pyjamas have made it worse for me. | 0:17:08 | 0:17:12 | |
Yeah, well, we're all human beings, we should help each other out. | 0:17:12 | 0:17:16 | |
If I was that bloke, I'd have got out of the car and I'd have said, | 0:17:16 | 0:17:20 | |
"Look, I don't know you, but, you know, I wish you all the best." | 0:17:20 | 0:17:24 | |
-Wouldn't you? -I don't know what I would have done. | 0:17:24 | 0:17:27 | |
I'm finished. Done waving. | 0:17:27 | 0:17:30 | |
Can you fill my glass up, please, Roger? | 0:17:32 | 0:17:35 | |
Roger, can you get up off there and fill my glass up? I've had enough. | 0:17:35 | 0:17:39 | |
-Yeah, I have as well. -Oh! | 0:17:39 | 0:17:42 | |
I wanted it to be Liam and it's dark. | 0:17:42 | 0:17:45 | |
I'm going to put on some pizza cos I'm starving. | 0:17:45 | 0:17:48 | |
Good! Put another one in for me. | 0:17:48 | 0:17:50 | |
OVEN BUTTONS BEEP | 0:17:57 | 0:18:00 | |
Shall I tell you something, though? Out of it. | 0:18:00 | 0:18:03 | |
THAT is why you'd be wasted as a Deputy Head. | 0:18:03 | 0:18:07 | |
-Your communication with young people...superb! -Mmm. | 0:18:07 | 0:18:12 | |
See, I don't think he was young. | 0:18:12 | 0:18:14 | |
Looking back on it, I should have twigged earlier. | 0:18:14 | 0:18:18 | |
Well, these things start off... everyone has the best intentions | 0:18:18 | 0:18:21 | |
but in three years' time, when Liam's central heating breaks down, | 0:18:21 | 0:18:25 | |
he won't ring me to see if I've got any storage heaters. | 0:18:25 | 0:18:29 | |
Oh, I disagree! Shove up. You'd be the ideal person. | 0:18:29 | 0:18:35 | |
We don't know him. | 0:18:35 | 0:18:36 | |
But, Roger, I don't know Uncle Jack, but he's still my family. | 0:18:36 | 0:18:41 | |
Oh, I'm quite upset now about Uncle Jack dying. | 0:18:41 | 0:18:45 | |
I'm glad the other husband didn't get you. | 0:18:50 | 0:18:53 | |
Yeah. Oh, Roger. | 0:18:53 | 0:18:55 | |
The Deputy Headship. I'm a disappointed woman. | 0:18:55 | 0:19:00 | |
No, because that, what I witnessed there, that instinct from you... | 0:19:00 | 0:19:07 | |
-Yeah. -I know we're not allowed to mention the job. | 0:19:07 | 0:19:10 | |
No, because there's a void, like there always is with me. | 0:19:10 | 0:19:13 | |
No, but that instinct with people, that! | 0:19:13 | 0:19:18 | |
But, Roger, I got the wrong person. | 0:19:18 | 0:19:21 | |
But you did the right thing. | 0:19:21 | 0:19:23 | |
I'm absolutely gutted. | 0:19:36 | 0:19:40 | |
-No, the word is sabotage. -Well, we can't be certain it was Bagnall. | 0:19:40 | 0:19:45 | |
-Had you ever mixed them up before? -No. -No. | 0:19:45 | 0:19:47 | |
Was Pam Bagnall seen leaving the cookery block that morning? | 0:19:47 | 0:19:51 | |
Yes. | 0:19:51 | 0:19:52 | |
Has Bagnall performed the age-old "saw it on Tom And Jerry when I was two" trick | 0:19:52 | 0:19:57 | |
-of swapping the sugar for the salt? -I suspect she has. | 0:19:57 | 0:20:01 | |
Yeah, so do I. | 0:20:01 | 0:20:03 | |
Well, everyone's conscience is their own business. | 0:20:03 | 0:20:06 | |
Conscience is the least of her problems. | 0:20:06 | 0:20:08 | |
She's two steps to the side of a place in Broadmoor. | 0:20:08 | 0:20:11 | |
No, Roger, she wants the head's job. | 0:20:11 | 0:20:13 | |
She will then move on to saline poison the whole of the local education authority. | 0:20:13 | 0:20:17 | |
Well, she didn't poison anyone. It was just the interview tea | 0:20:17 | 0:20:21 | |
and coffee, which happened to be the responsibility of Food Tech. | 0:20:21 | 0:20:24 | |
No, the department where her Deputy Headship rival is in charge. | 0:20:24 | 0:20:30 | |
Well, I've got my own opinions about Pam. Not good ones. | 0:20:30 | 0:20:34 | |
But... she probably WAS the best candidate. | 0:20:36 | 0:20:41 | |
No. I will never accept that. No, she was not. | 0:20:41 | 0:20:45 | |
Roger, why didn't I get it? | 0:20:45 | 0:20:48 | |
I was down to the last two. | 0:20:48 | 0:20:50 | |
And now you say Liam's storage heaters won't come back | 0:20:50 | 0:20:56 | |
-and Uncle... What's his name? Oh, God! -Jack. -Jack. | 0:20:56 | 0:21:00 | |
Uncle Jack's died. What does it all mean? | 0:21:00 | 0:21:04 | |
Now, Val, no, no, no. I know where you're going, Val. | 0:21:05 | 0:21:08 | |
Just shut up, Roger! I will have it. | 0:21:08 | 0:21:11 | |
Val, please, you know how you get when you listen to this. | 0:21:11 | 0:21:14 | |
MUSIC: "Those Were The Days" by Mary Hopkin | 0:21:24 | 0:21:26 | |
Oh...listen to the insane sorrow. | 0:21:29 | 0:21:34 | |
Val, please, I believe this song to be sick. | 0:21:34 | 0:21:37 | |
Just ants in a long procession, Roger, | 0:21:40 | 0:21:43 | |
that's all we are, but in that long procession there are families. | 0:21:43 | 0:21:47 | |
Kings and queens and workers - class structure even there. | 0:21:47 | 0:21:51 | |
If you would open your eyes, please, Roger. | 0:21:51 | 0:21:54 | |
Oh, I wish Sue was here. | 0:21:54 | 0:21:56 | |
This song is a bit like me and Sue in Food Tech. | 0:21:58 | 0:22:02 | |
Yeah, because we're friends, me and Sue. | 0:22:02 | 0:22:06 | |
We work together very happily and we can leave every day at 3.30. | 0:22:06 | 0:22:11 | |
Can you, Bagnall? You... You Deputy Head. | 0:22:11 | 0:22:15 | |
This song does not look forward at all. | 0:22:17 | 0:22:19 | |
Actually, Roger, if I were the Deputy Head and I was in my office | 0:22:19 | 0:22:24 | |
and I saw Sue making her way over to Food Tech, | 0:22:24 | 0:22:28 | |
and I was listening to this song, I'd have tears pouring down my face. | 0:22:28 | 0:22:34 | |
I'm glad I didn't get it. | 0:22:35 | 0:22:37 | |
Well, there's no way of knowing any days were THE days. | 0:22:37 | 0:22:40 | |
Thus leaving this song essentially meaningless. | 0:22:40 | 0:22:44 | |
Jack's died! | 0:22:44 | 0:22:47 | |
SHE SOBS | 0:22:47 | 0:22:48 | |
-Put it back on. -Val, you're drunk. | 0:22:48 | 0:22:51 | |
Get off it. | 0:22:51 | 0:22:53 | |
I'm going to get the pizza, Val. | 0:22:53 | 0:22:56 | |
Did I put it in the microwave? | 0:22:56 | 0:22:58 | |
Roger, can you get me a large glass of water immediately now? | 0:23:03 | 0:23:07 | |
Hang on, Rog, listen to this, right. This is my first line. | 0:23:51 | 0:23:56 | |
It's brilliant. | 0:23:56 | 0:23:58 | |
Poem For Uncle Jack. | 0:23:58 | 0:24:00 | |
Oh, Val... | 0:24:00 | 0:24:01 | |
No, that's not the first line, that's the title. No, listen. | 0:24:01 | 0:24:04 | |
Tonight, I find I can quite clearly recall your face... | 0:24:06 | 0:24:10 | |
-That's brilliant. -Shhh! The small eyes Your bald head | 0:24:10 | 0:24:15 | |
The surprisingly pleasant smile Given your fangs... | 0:24:15 | 0:24:19 | |
Yeah, what were they, Val? | 0:24:19 | 0:24:20 | |
Well, they'd just be overgrown canines, Roger. | 0:24:20 | 0:24:23 | |
You were a Tory Seen in the Liberal club | 0:24:23 | 0:24:27 | |
With your arms round two women So who were you? | 0:24:27 | 0:24:31 | |
-My confusion grows... -That's fantastic. | 0:24:31 | 0:24:34 | |
And tonight... Oh, actually, no, not tonight, | 0:24:34 | 0:24:38 | |
because the poem needs to be timeless. Hang on. | 0:24:38 | 0:24:41 | |
And this is probably the last time I ever think of you - adieu. | 0:24:41 | 0:24:49 | |
What do you think? | 0:24:52 | 0:24:53 | |
That is fantastic, Val. | 0:24:54 | 0:24:56 | |
Barbara must have that. | 0:24:56 | 0:24:58 | |
She must have a copy of it to be read at the funeral. | 0:24:58 | 0:25:01 | |
No, Barbara can't see it | 0:25:01 | 0:25:02 | |
because it's got the secret about the Liberal club. | 0:25:02 | 0:25:05 | |
Barbara must never see it, ever. Never show that to Barbara. | 0:25:05 | 0:25:08 | |
Sorry, Rog, I think I was getting a bit plastered there | 0:25:08 | 0:25:11 | |
but I've stopped now, just in time. | 0:25:11 | 0:25:13 | |
CAR HORN BEEPS | 0:25:13 | 0:25:15 | |
Val, it's the man in the car. | 0:25:19 | 0:25:21 | |
Who is he? | 0:25:24 | 0:25:26 | |
Oh, my God. | 0:25:28 | 0:25:29 | |
Oh, Val, I'm sorry it IS Liam. | 0:25:29 | 0:25:33 | |
No, it isn't. It's the same man we were waving to before. | 0:25:33 | 0:25:36 | |
Yeah, but I-I-I think it was Liam now. Yes, I'm... It is. | 0:25:36 | 0:25:42 | |
I know it is. | 0:25:42 | 0:25:43 | |
Now that he's out of the car. | 0:25:43 | 0:25:46 | |
Look how tall he is. It's him. | 0:25:46 | 0:25:49 | |
-Oh, Roger... -See from the side he looks like their family but... | 0:25:49 | 0:25:53 | |
but full on, I mean, look at the height of him, it's him. | 0:25:53 | 0:25:57 | |
Oh, Roger, please be sure because I'm really investing here. | 0:25:57 | 0:26:00 | |
I'm sure now. When I met him before, he wasn't smiling. | 0:26:00 | 0:26:04 | |
What's he pointing at? | 0:26:05 | 0:26:07 | |
Oh. | 0:26:33 | 0:26:34 | |
It's Roses. | 0:26:34 | 0:26:36 | |
With raindrops on. It's one of my favourite things. | 0:26:36 | 0:26:40 | |
Oh, thanks. | 0:26:40 | 0:26:42 | |
He surely can't have known | 0:26:42 | 0:26:43 | |
that we were being The Sound Of Music people, though, can he, Val? | 0:26:43 | 0:26:47 | |
Well, he's clearly very bright and tall. | 0:26:47 | 0:26:50 | |
He doesn't get that from Jean. She's five foot three. | 0:26:50 | 0:26:53 | |
No, you go for the shorter woman. | 0:26:53 | 0:26:56 | |
Roger... | 0:26:56 | 0:26:57 | |
What? | 0:26:57 | 0:26:58 | |
There's a baby seat in the back of his car. | 0:26:58 | 0:27:02 | |
Have you got a baby? | 0:27:04 | 0:27:06 | |
He says yes. | 0:27:06 | 0:27:07 | |
CAR ENGINE STARTS There's a baby. | 0:27:07 | 0:27:10 | |
Oh, Roger, you're going to be so good with the baby | 0:27:10 | 0:27:13 | |
because you do all those funny faces. | 0:27:13 | 0:27:15 | |
Yeah, I'm beginning to think my funny faces were excellent. | 0:27:15 | 0:27:18 | |
Oh, he's a lovely lad. Generous...chocolates. | 0:27:18 | 0:27:22 | |
Let's have a drink. Wet the baby's head. | 0:27:22 | 0:27:26 | |
I'm going to step outside - smell the earth. | 0:27:28 | 0:27:33 | |
Oh, it's stopped raining. | 0:27:34 | 0:27:37 | |
