0:04:27 > 0:04:29- Oh?- Yeah.

0:04:29 > 0:04:32Then they cut me cock off.

0:04:38 > 0:04:43Don't you remember? I went away to college.

0:05:04 > 0:05:07It's David! He's our son.

0:05:07 > 0:05:12He's no son of mine. Read the signs. Strangers are not welcome here.

0:05:12 > 0:05:15- Do you deny him? - It's all right, Mum.

0:05:15 > 0:05:19He left the town of his own free will.

0:05:19 > 0:05:24- Dad... - I trust force won't be necessary. - Dad...

0:05:24 > 0:05:26Mum.

0:05:26 > 0:05:31- There's something I have to tell you both.- Are you gay?

0:05:33 > 0:05:35No.

0:05:35 > 0:05:38When I went away from here, I went to college, as you know.

0:05:56 > 0:06:02I wanted to bring us closer together. - By tearing down the local shop?! - No! It's called progress.

0:06:02 > 0:06:07There's a whole world out there. There's nothing to be afraid of.

0:06:07 > 0:06:13- Why don't you come and stay with me in London? Just for a weekend.- Yes!

0:07:33 > 0:07:38Well, as I'm sure you're all aware, today's a very special day.

0:07:38 > 0:07:43- We've all come to the end of our restart course. Awww.- Thank God.

0:07:43 > 0:07:50I want to thank you all for being so well-behaved. You've been a lovely bunch...on the whole.

0:07:50 > 0:07:55It's been hard, dragging yourselves out of bed at 9am for six weeks...

0:07:55 > 0:07:58It was either that or have your benefit stopped.

0:07:58 > 0:08:00And you all need your beer money, don't you?

0:08:00 > 0:08:07If you weren't mindless pissed each night, you'd likely kill yourselves.

0:08:07 > 0:08:10..That'd get the unemployment figures down!

0:08:12 > 0:08:15..Yeah, I was joking, gents.

0:08:15 > 0:08:20As it's the last day, I thought we'd play a game called Shop A Scrounger.

0:08:21 > 0:08:23Pauline.

0:08:23 > 0:08:28- What's this, Mickey?- I brung you a present.- A present? For me?

0:08:28 > 0:08:30Why?

0:08:31 > 0:08:34Dunno. ..Think I like you.

0:08:34 > 0:08:36Awww.

0:08:41 > 0:08:44- What IS it?- It's a pen. - I can see THAT. But...

0:08:48 > 0:08:50Like Swap Shop.

0:08:59 > 0:09:01Thank you, Mickey.

0:09:01 > 0:09:03I shall treasure this.

0:09:03 > 0:09:07Can I have a word with you, Pauline?

0:09:07 > 0:09:11Yes, Ross? What have YOU bought for me? Poison?

0:09:11 > 0:09:14No, it's better than that.

0:09:14 > 0:09:18Well, come on, then. Spit it out. Don't be so...EGREGIOUS.

0:09:20 > 0:09:28All right. I regret to inform you that, as of 4pm, you are suspended from the employment service...

0:09:28 > 0:09:30Oh, piss off!

0:09:30 > 0:09:34I work for the Social Security, Pauline.

0:09:34 > 0:09:37Internal Investigations.

0:09:37 > 0:09:42I've assessed your working practices over the last few weeks. Frankly, I'm appalled.

0:09:42 > 0:09:45You wot? YOU work?

0:09:45 > 0:09:47You don't have to come here if you work, Ross.

0:09:49 > 0:09:53I've all the evidence I need for your instant dismissal.

0:09:53 > 0:09:58- What is it?- It's my report. "Abusive and threatening language.

0:09:58 > 0:10:04- "Unprompted violence..."- Sit down, Ross! I won't fall for that one.

0:10:04 > 0:10:07- TAPE RECORDER PLAYS - 'You work-shy set of bastards...!

0:10:09 > 0:10:12'Sit up straight, you bone-idle lazy cu..'

0:10:14 > 0:10:16What's that?

0:10:16 > 0:10:20Your workshop on Self-esteem For The Unemployed.

0:10:20 > 0:10:21It was only a bit of fun.

0:10:21 > 0:10:24It's not a joke, Pauline.

0:10:24 > 0:10:26You're finished.

0:10:26 > 0:10:35- I'll ensure that you never work in the employment service again. I'll have to ask for your pens back.- No.

0:10:35 > 0:10:37Leave me me pens.

0:10:37 > 0:10:39Please?

0:10:39 > 0:10:41They're no longer your property.

0:10:44 > 0:10:49You'll be hearing from us. This course is finished, everyone.

0:10:49 > 0:10:51Wait! ..WAIT!

0:10:53 > 0:10:58- You'll never get away with this, Ross.- I'll file this report...

0:10:58 > 0:11:00I'm not talkin' about your report.

0:11:00 > 0:11:05- I wouldn't wipe me big fat arse on it.- ..What, then?

0:11:05 > 0:11:09You've been working AND signing on.

0:11:09 > 0:11:12And THAT, job seekers, is a crime.

0:11:12 > 0:11:16We lose millions a year to people like Ross.

0:11:16 > 0:11:20If you do any part-time work, you have to declare it.

0:11:20 > 0:11:25Don't you see, gents? He's nothing but a dole cheat.

0:11:25 > 0:11:29Maybe. But I'm not unemployed.

0:11:29 > 0:11:30Wot?

0:11:30 > 0:11:33I'M not unemployed. YOU are.

0:11:48 > 0:11:51SOFT SOBBING

0:11:57 > 0:12:02I hope you're enjoying your trip to Mr Tinsel's farm.

0:12:02 > 0:12:04And now, what I hope will be the highlight.

0:12:04 > 0:12:10A chance for us all to witness the first faltering steps of a tiny new life.

0:12:10 > 0:12:14This is the star of our show.

0:12:14 > 0:12:19- Monica the cow. - LOUD MOOING - She has been in labour for 12 hours.

0:12:19 > 0:12:24It means the baby cow's been trying to come out of its mummy's womb.

0:12:24 > 0:12:30- What's a womb, Mr Chinnery? - A special place inside Monica where the baby grows.

0:12:30 > 0:12:35Sometimes, the baby cow needs help coming out. That's what we'll do.

0:12:35 > 0:12:38- I put my hand inside Monica. - Eugh...!

0:12:40 > 0:12:46I attach a rope around the baby's hooves, we give a great big tug and out will pop the little calf.

0:12:46 > 0:12:47So here we go...

0:12:51 > 0:12:52LOUD SQUELCHING

0:12:52 > 0:12:55MOO-OO!

0:12:55 > 0:12:58He's stuck his hand up his bum.

0:12:58 > 0:13:01- I know that's what it looks like. - MOO!

0:13:02 > 0:13:08No, I am, of course, inserting my arm into the "other" passage.

0:13:08 > 0:13:14- It IS its bottom. I saw it lift its tail and poo came out of it.- No, no.

0:13:14 > 0:13:19My father knows about these things. It IS its rectum.

0:13:19 > 0:13:20No, no.

0:13:22 > 0:13:23It IS tight...

0:13:24 > 0:13:26< MOO-OO!

0:13:27 > 0:13:30No wonder it's a difficult labour.

0:13:30 > 0:13:32Ah. These feel like the hooves.

0:13:32 > 0:13:35I'll just get the rope around them.

0:13:35 > 0:13:41- Who would like to come up here and help pull the baby calf out?- I will.

0:13:41 > 0:13:44- OK. What's your name, love?- Natalie.

0:13:44 > 0:13:48OK, Natalie. Just get hold of that there. OK?

0:13:48 > 0:13:50We'll pull together. ..Right, and...

0:13:50 > 0:13:53..pull!

0:13:53 > 0:13:55- MOOING - Pull!

0:13:55 > 0:13:57Pull!

0:13:57 > 0:14:00CHILDREN: Eugh!

0:14:00 > 0:14:03There we go.

0:14:06 > 0:14:09It looks like offal, Mr Chinnery.

0:14:09 > 0:14:13No, no, no. That's the... That's just the birth...sac.

0:14:13 > 0:14:15Isn't that a liver?

0:14:16 > 0:14:19Oh, Christ... Don't look, Natalie.

0:14:19 > 0:14:20Don't look.

0:14:21 > 0:14:24All right, Veterinary? How's she doin'?

0:14:25 > 0:14:28I'm afraid there have been one or two...complications.

0:14:45 > 0:14:50'We just have to run a few tests before the operation,'

0:14:50 > 0:14:53make sure everything's in full working order.

0:14:56 > 0:15:01- So if you could just give us a specimen...- Right.

0:15:01 > 0:15:04- Um... - NURSE COUGHS

0:15:04 > 0:15:08I just wanna do it standing up. For old times' sake.

0:15:11 > 0:15:16And He will come and give strength to hands that tremble with weakness

0:15:16 > 0:15:19and to legs that are lame.

0:15:19 > 0:15:23The crippled will cast away their crutches, leap and dance,

0:15:23 > 0:15:29jump up and down in praise of the Lord and receive all the blessings of Heaven.

0:15:32 > 0:15:36But it doesn't say they have to have six parking bays at Safeway, does it?

0:15:36 > 0:15:43Always empty. I left the car for FIVE minutes - nipped in for a bottle of Taboo -

0:15:43 > 0:15:47and I came out, the bugger's clamped.

0:15:47 > 0:15:51I said to the fella, "Would it have made a difference if I'd had a stick and a limp?"

0:15:51 > 0:15:55Ramps outside libraries! And their toilets are massive!

0:15:57 > 0:15:59Hymn number 168 -

0:16:56 > 0:17:00- But he's boring, though, in't he? - I'm sorry, Geoff. If...

0:20:18 > 0:20:21No, nearer the base.

0:20:21 > 0:20:26- Round and round not up and down. - You're doing well.

0:20:28 > 0:20:31It's basic hygiene, Benjamin.

0:20:31 > 0:20:35- Cleaning items must be spick and span.- A dirty brush is USELESS!

0:20:35 > 0:20:43- Then turn your attention to the items with which you cleaned.- What about them?- They need cleaning too.

0:20:43 > 0:20:45What do I clean them WITH?

0:20:45 > 0:20:48These.

0:20:49 > 0:20:54We wage a constant battle against the microbe and the germ.

0:21:10 > 0:21:14I need to dry my hands. What'll I dry them with(?)

0:21:14 > 0:21:18What happens if I use the WHITE towel not the BROWN?

0:21:19 > 0:21:26- Can't even shit without you peeping in to see I'm not...- Conducting yourself in a solo symphony?

0:21:26 > 0:21:28Let me OUT!!

0:21:32 > 0:21:35Poor Benjamin. Benjamin...

0:21:35 > 0:21:40Life writes many different stories upon us.

0:21:40 > 0:21:43Stories that make us what we are.

0:21:43 > 0:21:47I myself was a shy and awkward boy,

0:21:47 > 0:21:50afflicted with terrible facial warts.

0:21:51 > 0:21:53Oh, yes.

0:21:54 > 0:21:59People would...whisper behind my back, "There goes Harvey Toad-Face!"

0:21:59 > 0:22:04- "Hide! Toad-Face is coming." - That was just his parents.

0:22:04 > 0:22:08But the toad can teach us many lessons.

0:22:08 > 0:22:12Itss life cycle is a model of order and simplicity.

0:22:12 > 0:22:16All we ever sought to do is create a similar harmony

0:22:16 > 0:22:19for ourselves and...those we love.

0:22:23 > 0:22:26Look, I...didn't mean to upset you.

0:22:26 > 0:22:31If you feel uncomfortable, then, of course, you must go.

0:22:31 > 0:22:33But don't judge us too harshly.

0:22:33 > 0:22:38We simply sought to...express our love in the only way we knew how.

0:22:42 > 0:22:44Benjamin.

0:22:44 > 0:22:49- Before you go, we'd like to give you something.- Of course.

0:22:49 > 0:22:51What is it?

0:22:51 > 0:22:54It's this.

0:22:54 > 0:22:59An itemised bill covering expenses incurred during your stay.

0:22:59 > 0:23:01Wear and tear to carpets...

0:23:01 > 0:23:04Dust creation and subsequent removal.

0:23:04 > 0:23:07Disproportionate consumption of toilet tissue,

0:23:07 > 0:23:11used while pleasuring yourself to wicked extremes.

0:23:11 > 0:23:13Cheque or Visa would be fine.

0:23:43 > 0:23:47Um... Brian's waiting for the police.

0:23:48 > 0:23:52- Are you OK? - Yeah.

0:23:54 > 0:23:56Oh, Geoff.

0:24:00 > 0:24:02You had everything to live for.

0:24:05 > 0:24:09Why'd you have to go and do something stupid like this?

0:24:11 > 0:24:13To see the look on your faces!

0:24:13 > 0:24:15Geoff?

0:24:17 > 0:24:20Oh, I got you, didn't I? They were blanks.

0:24:23 > 0:24:25Oh, you...BABY!!

0:24:31 > 0:24:34It was only a joke.

0:24:36 > 0:24:38Hello, hello, Tubbs. What's going on?

0:24:38 > 0:24:41What's all this shouting? We'll have no trouble here.

0:24:44 > 0:24:45I'm leaving you, Edward.

0:24:48 > 0:24:49..What?

0:24:49 > 0:24:54I'm leaving you. I hate this town and I HATE this shop!

0:24:54 > 0:24:56David's taking me to London.

0:24:56 > 0:25:00- No.- We're going shopping at Harvey Nic's

0:25:00 > 0:25:03and then we're off to Leicester Square for a pizza.

0:25:04 > 0:25:06Tubbs. Listen to yourself!

0:25:06 > 0:25:09You cannot trust this boy.

0:25:09 > 0:25:13His mind has been corrupted by colours, sounds and shapes.

0:25:14 > 0:25:17I want to see Les Mis.

0:25:17 > 0:25:19Or any of the big shows, really.

0:25:23 > 0:25:25Goodbye, Edward.

0:25:25 > 0:25:28I...love you.

0:25:35 > 0:25:37Tubbs?

0:25:37 > 0:25:39I...

0:25:39 > 0:25:42..have to tell you something.

0:25:42 > 0:25:46I saw David earlier this afternoon. We, um...

0:25:46 > 0:25:49..had a little chat.

0:25:50 > 0:25:53He's decided he's not going to build the new road after all.

0:25:53 > 0:25:58I don't care about your stupid road. We're going on the choo-train.

0:26:00 > 0:26:02Go!

0:26:03 > 0:26:05David must be...waiting for you.

0:26:18 > 0:26:20- David!- Hello, Mum.

0:26:22 > 0:26:23I've changed my mind.

0:26:25 > 0:26:28I want to live...LOCALLY.

0:26:44 > 0:26:46Tubbs.

0:26:55 > 0:26:59- 'Thank you for posting a letter...' - All right! It's me.

0:27:00 > 0:27:04- Good day? - It was all right. Yeah!

0:27:06 > 0:27:07See you tomorrow.

0:27:13 > 0:27:18- Would you look after this for me, please?- Course I will, Barbara.

0:27:18 > 0:27:21- Are you all right?- Yeah.- Try and relax.

0:27:21 > 0:27:24- The anaesthetic'll kick in soon.- Good.

0:27:24 > 0:27:28- I've heard that Dr Mikos is one of the best in the country.- He is.

0:27:28 > 0:27:35- Shame he had that skiing accident. - Eh?- We have a capable replacement.

0:27:39 > 0:27:42Hello, Barbara. Don't you worry about a thing.

0:27:44 > 0:27:47Right. ..What am I doing?

0:27:53 > 0:27:55Excuse me.

0:27:59 > 0:28:01Excuse me.

0:28:02 > 0:28:07Is there a shop round here? I'm starving and I wanna get away.

0:28:07 > 0:28:11Yes. Come with me.

0:28:14 > 0:28:17Oh, I like your boots.

0:28:17 > 0:28:19My friend has a pair just like that.

0:28:21 > 0:28:24So, um, are you local?

0:28:24 > 0:28:25Yes.

0:28:25 > 0:28:27Yes, I am.
