0:00:04 > 0:00:07- Oh, hi, Christine. - I've just spoken to them.

0:00:07 > 0:00:08Who?

0:00:08 > 0:00:11That young couple that bought Archie's house.

0:00:11 > 0:00:12Ah, right, right.

0:00:12 > 0:00:14Hm, they were very interested to hear

0:00:14 > 0:00:17- a bit of the history of the house. - The history?

0:00:17 > 0:00:20Well, she had no idea

0:00:20 > 0:00:23that his body had lain for so long in that living room.

0:00:23 > 0:00:24I was saying to her

0:00:24 > 0:00:28that maybe we should have a wee get-together at some point.

0:00:28 > 0:00:29Oh, aye, that would be nice.

0:00:29 > 0:00:31Oh, I told her we'd give her the chance to get in

0:00:31 > 0:00:34- and get settled first though. - Ah, course.

0:00:34 > 0:00:35The last thing she's wanting

0:00:35 > 0:00:38is a load of folk inviting themselves over

0:00:38 > 0:00:41before she's had a chance to get her boxes emptied.

0:00:41 > 0:00:42Absolutely.

0:00:42 > 0:00:44So I told them to come across here about two o'clock.

0:00:44 > 0:00:45What?

0:00:45 > 0:00:47Thanks, Beth, you're a star.

0:00:47 > 0:00:50Oh, and by the way, that tooth came out,

0:00:50 > 0:00:53so don't bother cutting the crusts off mine.

0:00:53 > 0:00:54Two o'clock.

0:00:56 > 0:01:01This programme contains strong language.

0:01:17 > 0:01:20That's no' shut, Alan, you need to bang it.

0:01:22 > 0:01:24All right!

0:01:24 > 0:01:26You said bang it.

0:01:28 > 0:01:30So is that woman's house we're going to?

0:01:30 > 0:01:31What woman?

0:01:31 > 0:01:33Her wi' the joggy bottoms and hair like Rose West.

0:01:33 > 0:01:35- No, it's her neighbour. - Right.

0:01:35 > 0:01:39Now, remember, wait until you're offered before you eat anything,

0:01:39 > 0:01:42and if there's something you don't like, use a napkin,

0:01:42 > 0:01:44don't spit it straight into the bin.

0:02:19 > 0:02:21- How you doing? - Hi, there. Michelle.

0:02:21 > 0:02:22Pleased to meet you.

0:02:22 > 0:02:23Alan.

0:02:24 > 0:02:27Um, right, sit down, sit yourselves down.

0:02:27 > 0:02:28Take a seat.

0:02:29 > 0:02:31No' there! Kidding you on!

0:02:31 > 0:02:34Only joking. On you go.

0:02:36 > 0:02:38Is he a bit of a joker, is he, Beth?

0:02:38 > 0:02:40That's exactly what he is.

0:02:40 > 0:02:43We were at a party one night and I sat on a whoopie cushion,

0:02:43 > 0:02:44remember that, Michelle?

0:02:44 > 0:02:46I do.

0:02:46 > 0:02:49She actually thought it was a real fart.

0:02:49 > 0:02:52I mean, mine sound nothing like that.

0:02:53 > 0:02:55So, Beth, thank you so much for the invite.

0:02:55 > 0:02:57That was really nice of you.

0:02:57 > 0:02:58Oh, that's OK.

0:02:58 > 0:03:00- How are you settling in then? - Um, we're getting there, Eric.

0:03:00 > 0:03:03I mean, that's us all unpacked, the new carpets are down,

0:03:03 > 0:03:06and the bathroom's getting tiled at the moment.

0:03:06 > 0:03:09Three days in a row, I've had a wash at the sink, haven't I, Michelle?

0:03:09 > 0:03:10Uh-huh.

0:03:10 > 0:03:13She's using baby wipes.

0:03:13 > 0:03:15Well, I'm sure you'll get sorted soon enough.

0:03:15 > 0:03:17I hope so!

0:03:17 > 0:03:20I says to Alan, "Remind me again why we thought this was a good idea!"

0:03:20 > 0:03:23And I says, number one, nice area.

0:03:23 > 0:03:26Number two, driveway for the van.

0:03:26 > 0:03:29And number three, that place we were in was fucking tiny.

0:03:29 > 0:03:31DOORBELL RINGS

0:03:31 > 0:03:32Excuse me.

0:03:36 > 0:03:37Hi, Christine.

0:03:37 > 0:03:38Hello, Beth.

0:03:38 > 0:03:41A wee treat for you - banana loaf, Beth.

0:03:41 > 0:03:42Oh.

0:03:42 > 0:03:45Well, I thought since you were making the sandwiches,

0:03:45 > 0:03:47the least I could do is contribute a wee something.

0:03:47 > 0:03:48That's very kind of you.

0:03:48 > 0:03:50Not at all.

0:03:50 > 0:03:51Not at all, Beth.

0:03:51 > 0:03:55It was reduced to 19p and its sell-by was last Thursday,

0:03:55 > 0:03:57but it'll be fine if it's buttered heavy.

0:04:02 > 0:04:03Hello there, again.

0:04:03 > 0:04:05- Oh, hi.- Hi, Christine.

0:04:05 > 0:04:07It's Michelle, isn't it?

0:04:07 > 0:04:09- That's right.- And you are...?

0:04:09 > 0:04:10Alan.

0:04:11 > 0:04:13So you found it all right, then?

0:04:13 > 0:04:14Oh, no bother.

0:04:14 > 0:04:17Aye, it was basically just straight across the road,

0:04:17 > 0:04:18- wasn't it, Michelle?- It was.

0:04:18 > 0:04:21What side is it you're on, Christine?

0:04:21 > 0:04:22Oh, wait till I think.

0:04:22 > 0:04:24What way am I facing?

0:04:24 > 0:04:26It's through that way.

0:04:26 > 0:04:30If I'm in my chair facing the window, then she's on my left.

0:04:30 > 0:04:33We're on the right, as you're looking at us, Michelle.

0:04:33 > 0:04:34Naw, naw, naw, you're wrong.

0:04:34 > 0:04:36If they're on the other side of the road looking out,

0:04:36 > 0:04:39then your house is on the left and ours is to the right.

0:04:39 > 0:04:40You're through that wall.

0:04:40 > 0:04:42And you'll be through that fucking windae

0:04:42 > 0:04:44if you keep pointing at me like that.

0:04:44 > 0:04:46Would you like a tea or a coffee?

0:04:46 > 0:04:47I'll take one, Beth.

0:04:47 > 0:04:48Alan.

0:04:48 > 0:04:51Aye, that would be magic, Beth. Take a tea off you?

0:04:51 > 0:04:52How do you like it?

0:04:52 > 0:04:53Milk and three sugars.

0:04:53 > 0:04:55- Michelle?- Oh, I won't actually,

0:04:55 > 0:04:57I've had a couple of coffees already this morning.

0:04:57 > 0:04:59Aw, you're the same as me, Michelle.

0:04:59 > 0:05:03If I have more than two, it's like a trap door flying open.

0:05:03 > 0:05:05Or a glass of water, a soft drink or something?

0:05:05 > 0:05:07No, honestly, I'm fine.

0:05:07 > 0:05:09- I'll take a Fanta aff ya, an' all. - Alan!

0:05:09 > 0:05:12So is there much needing done to the place, then, Alan?

0:05:12 > 0:05:15It's quite extensive, Eric, er, first things first,

0:05:15 > 0:05:17take down that wee porch at the front.

0:05:17 > 0:05:18You're what?!

0:05:18 > 0:05:21- Aye, Michelle's wanting rid of it, aren't you?- We don't need it.

0:05:21 > 0:05:24You say that, Michelle, but what say maybes you've gone oot

0:05:24 > 0:05:27and then you come back and you've stood on a shit or something?

0:05:27 > 0:05:29Aye, right enough.

0:05:29 > 0:05:32No, look, I just want a proper front door.

0:05:32 > 0:05:35So where was it you were before here?

0:05:35 > 0:05:36East Kilbride, Eric.

0:05:36 > 0:05:38- Oh, right.- Do you know East Kilbride?

0:05:38 > 0:05:40Um, a bit, I mean, not really.

0:05:40 > 0:05:42Aye, it's good, aye.

0:05:42 > 0:05:43Good place.

0:05:43 > 0:05:45Why did you move?

0:09:29 > 0:09:31I'd have invited you to ours.

0:09:31 > 0:09:33Would you like a cup of tea, Cathy?

0:09:33 > 0:09:34Or a wine, Beth, I'm easy.

0:09:34 > 0:09:38There's a banana loaf about to make an appearance, Cathy.

0:09:54 > 0:09:57Aye, I can eat three Twixes in a row. Ever do that. Eric?

0:09:57 > 0:09:58Eh, no.

0:09:59 > 0:10:01I do.

0:10:01 > 0:10:04Sometimes I go and park the van somewhere quiet,

0:10:04 > 0:10:06turn the engine off and just eat.

0:10:12 > 0:10:15They're doing quite a bit of work to the place.

0:10:15 > 0:10:16- Are you?- Yeah.

0:10:16 > 0:10:18They're getting rid o' that porch!

0:10:18 > 0:10:21We did tons of work to the house when we moved in, didn't we, Col?

0:10:21 > 0:10:23Did you?

0:10:23 > 0:10:26We had to - it was basically just like this.

0:10:26 > 0:10:28Oi - plate!

0:10:30 > 0:10:32So what did you have done?

0:10:32 > 0:10:35Oh, we have spent a lot of money, Michelle.

0:10:35 > 0:10:37Converted the loft, had a new en suite

0:10:37 > 0:10:40so I can see what Colin's doing in the shower,

0:10:40 > 0:10:42and the kitchen - oh, my God!

0:10:42 > 0:10:44You want to see my kitchen, Michelle.

0:10:44 > 0:10:47I've got one of those taps with the hose

0:10:47 > 0:10:48that you get in restaurants.

0:10:48 > 0:10:49Oh, right.

0:10:49 > 0:10:51So do you do a lot of cooking?

0:10:51 > 0:10:55- No.- Well, we were thinking about knocking through from the kitchen

0:10:55 > 0:10:58to the living room, you know, just to open the place up a wee bit.

0:10:58 > 0:11:01- Are you, aye?- Aye, it means if I'm sitting watching the darts

0:11:01 > 0:11:04she can be standing at the cooker still talking to me,

0:11:04 > 0:11:06unless somebody's on a finish.

0:11:06 > 0:11:07Oh, aye,

0:11:07 > 0:11:09You a fan of the darts yourself, Eric?

0:11:09 > 0:11:11Oh, aye, well, I don't mind the darts.

0:11:11 > 0:11:12But I've no' got Sky, though.

0:11:12 > 0:11:15Oh, I have. That's why we got it.

0:11:15 > 0:11:16Formula 1 now as well.

0:11:16 > 0:11:19- Ooh!- Our dining room opens on to the living room

0:11:19 > 0:11:23which opens onto the decking which is where we've got the hot tub.

0:11:23 > 0:11:24Well...

0:11:24 > 0:11:26Oh - had a hot tub.

0:11:26 > 0:11:29We had to drain it when I saw a bird dipping its head in it.

0:11:31 > 0:11:32Have you done anything to this place?

0:11:32 > 0:11:35- BETH TUTS - Um, well...

0:11:35 > 0:11:37we got that extra radiator, didn't we?

0:11:37 > 0:11:39We did.

0:11:39 > 0:11:43Are you sure I cannae tempt you to a wee slice of this, Michelle?

0:11:43 > 0:11:46It's fine with a drink of something to wash it over.

0:11:46 > 0:11:47No, thanks.

0:11:50 > 0:11:52This must just be the same way as ours.

0:11:52 > 0:11:54Do you want a look round?

0:11:54 > 0:11:56Yeah, that'd be great, thanks.

0:11:56 > 0:11:59Give them the grand tour, Beth.

0:11:59 > 0:12:02Oh, I like your jeans, missus.

0:12:02 > 0:12:04Oh, thanks.

0:12:04 > 0:12:07Michelle, could you bring a sheet of kitchen towel back with you,

0:12:07 > 0:12:09fucking butter everywhere!

0:12:09 > 0:12:11Come on through.

0:12:17 > 0:12:20Aww! Eh?

0:12:20 > 0:12:23So do youse eat in here or do youse take it through onto your knee?

0:12:23 > 0:12:25Um, it depends, really.

0:12:25 > 0:12:27We were thinking about having a breakfast bar

0:12:27 > 0:12:28as well as an actual dining table.

0:12:28 > 0:12:29Ooh!

0:12:29 > 0:12:32Telly's going up on a bracket so you can swing it both ways

0:12:32 > 0:12:34and still see it.

0:12:34 > 0:12:38Sorry, I'm just getting that wine now that I asked you for.

0:12:38 > 0:12:41Um, we did think at one point about adding on a conservatory.

0:12:41 > 0:12:43We've got one.

0:12:43 > 0:12:45We've got a conservatory.

0:12:45 > 0:12:47It gets so warm, it's amazing.

0:12:47 > 0:12:49I dry all Colin's pants in it.

0:12:49 > 0:12:53What happens to your wet pants, Alan? Tumble drier, eh?

0:12:53 > 0:12:57Mm, pants off, and into the wash, and into the tumble drier?

0:12:57 > 0:13:00There you go, naughty boy, all warm and tight for you.

0:13:04 > 0:13:06Anyway, we decided not to in the end.

0:13:10 > 0:13:12Eric, did you say it was East Kilbride

0:13:12 > 0:13:14they were in before here?

0:13:14 > 0:13:15Aye.

0:13:15 > 0:13:17Colin - look up sex offenders in East Kilbride on your phone.

0:13:17 > 0:13:19Quick.

0:13:21 > 0:13:24Seen all you want? Same as yours, right enough, Alan?

0:13:24 > 0:13:31Aye, layout's identical - sink, hob, fridge,

0:13:31 > 0:13:33only difference is she's got a bog under her stairs,

0:13:33 > 0:13:34we've no' got one of them.

0:13:34 > 0:13:36We had it put in a couple of years ago.

0:13:36 > 0:13:37Did you, aye?

0:13:37 > 0:13:40It saves you running up and down the stairs for a piss, dun't it?

0:13:40 > 0:13:42Alan.

0:13:42 > 0:13:43Yes.

0:13:43 > 0:13:46You would love our house, Michelle.

0:13:46 > 0:13:49- Wouldn't she, Col?- Oh, aye, it's a big step up fae this.

0:13:49 > 0:13:51You should come over some time.

0:13:51 > 0:13:53Aw, that would be lovely, thanks.

0:13:53 > 0:13:54Come and have a look now if you want.

0:13:54 > 0:13:58- Eh?- Come and have a look now. - No. You're fine.- Come on.

0:13:58 > 0:13:59- No, honestly.- Come on!

0:13:59 > 0:14:01- No, honestly!- Come now, Michelle!

0:14:01 > 0:14:03- All right!- Beth?- What?

0:14:03 > 0:14:06You come too, in case anything needs tidied.

0:14:16 > 0:14:20I think you're right about the porch, Michelle, I hate them too.

0:14:20 > 0:14:23- So where do you put your shoes and stuff?- Hm?

0:14:23 > 0:14:26Like, do you just take them off in the hallway?

0:14:26 > 0:14:29I don't know what happens to them, Michelle.

0:14:30 > 0:14:34Ooh! Oh, I like that wallpaper.

0:14:34 > 0:14:35Oh, thanks!

0:14:35 > 0:14:39I took a lot of my inspiration for this room from a hotel

0:14:39 > 0:14:43that Colin and I stayed in in Dubai.

0:14:43 > 0:14:45- Have you been to Dubai, Michelle? - I have.

0:14:47 > 0:14:49Beth - you've not been, have you?

0:14:49 > 0:14:50No.

0:14:50 > 0:14:52See.

0:14:52 > 0:14:56Have a look around, get a feel for the space,

0:14:56 > 0:14:59oh, smell the leather couch.

0:15:03 > 0:15:06Here, is it no' about time we got the beers on the go?

0:15:06 > 0:15:09- Eh?- Oh, come on - there's Alan just moved in

0:15:09 > 0:15:10and he's not had a beer yet.

0:15:10 > 0:15:11Alan, you fancy a beer?

0:15:11 > 0:15:12Aye.

0:15:12 > 0:15:14Good man, Alan.

0:15:14 > 0:15:16All the lads together having a swally.

0:15:16 > 0:15:18- You got a Foster's, Eric? - Wait and I'll see what I've got.

0:15:23 > 0:15:25So, do you go up to the dump a lot?

0:15:25 > 0:15:27Aye, quite a bit, Alan.

0:15:27 > 0:15:29You'll need to tell me where it is.

0:15:29 > 0:15:32Pat over the back took the base of a single bed up there on a bus.

0:15:32 > 0:15:35That's where the van comes in handy.

0:15:35 > 0:15:36Taking stuff to places.

0:15:36 > 0:15:39Mm, have you met Pat yet, Alan?

0:15:39 > 0:15:40Naw, I don't think so.

0:15:40 > 0:15:43Aw, you'd know her if you saw her - a wee bit stooped,

0:15:43 > 0:15:46looks like she's hunting for coins.

0:15:46 > 0:15:48There you go.

0:15:48 > 0:15:50There you go, Alan, do you want a glass with that?

0:15:50 > 0:15:52Naw.

0:15:52 > 0:15:55Right, here we go - first of the day!

0:15:55 > 0:15:59Oof, it's nice and cold, thank you, Eric.

0:15:59 > 0:16:01Right, well, cheers, Alan.

0:16:01 > 0:16:03- Cheers, son.- Cheers!

0:16:07 > 0:16:09Oh!

0:16:09 > 0:16:10Ah!

0:16:10 > 0:16:11Oh!

0:16:11 > 0:16:12Aw.

0:16:12 > 0:16:14So are you doing most of the work yourself then, Alan?

0:16:14 > 0:16:15I am, aye.

0:16:15 > 0:16:17Except the plumbing stuff.

0:16:17 > 0:16:19I says to Michelle, "I'm no' doing anything

0:16:19 > 0:16:20"where I might get shite on me."

0:16:20 > 0:16:23Well, listen, anything you need, just give us a shout.

0:16:23 > 0:16:28And I'll send Eric straight over to you.

0:16:28 > 0:16:31Oh, I tell you, it used to be when you moved in somewhere,

0:16:31 > 0:16:33all the neighbours would muck in

0:16:33 > 0:16:35and help you do the place up, remember that?

0:16:35 > 0:16:37Aye, you're right, Eric.

0:16:37 > 0:16:40When I lived in Johnstone, there was a man in the street

0:16:40 > 0:16:44and he came in and wallpapered my hall for no money whatsoever.

0:16:44 > 0:16:45Ah, that's the community spirit, eh?

0:16:45 > 0:16:47Aye.

0:16:47 > 0:16:50Aye. Took over a week to do it and he cleaned me out of Nescafe.

0:16:50 > 0:16:51Never again.

0:16:53 > 0:16:56Big double fridge, Michelle.

0:16:56 > 0:16:57Oh, I like that.

0:16:57 > 0:17:01And, of course, the wonderful island in the middle here.

0:17:01 > 0:17:03Oh, I would love one of them.

0:17:03 > 0:17:08Aren't they great? Look, I can walk right round it.

0:17:08 > 0:17:11MICHELLE LAUGHS Ooh!

0:17:11 > 0:17:12Oh - look at that hob!

0:17:12 > 0:17:15Look at the size of that gas ring in the middle.

0:17:15 > 0:17:17Isn't that amazing?

0:17:17 > 0:17:20It'd be great for doing a stir fry.

0:17:20 > 0:17:22Or just for lighting cigarettes.

0:17:22 > 0:17:24It is absolutely spotless.

0:17:24 > 0:17:26Oh, that's Colin.

0:17:26 > 0:17:28Does he do it all, does he?

0:17:28 > 0:17:30Yeah, he texts the cleaner every week.

0:17:32 > 0:17:35If you want, Michelle, I can look out the brochures that we used.

0:17:35 > 0:17:36Oh, what, for this?

0:17:36 > 0:17:37Yes.

0:17:37 > 0:17:39Aw, Cathy that is so sweet of you,

0:17:39 > 0:17:42but I think we'll probably just go for something a bit more practical.

0:17:44 > 0:17:45This is practical.

0:17:47 > 0:17:49Oh, no, I didn't mean it like that.

0:17:49 > 0:17:52This is practical - I can get crushed ice out of that.

0:17:52 > 0:17:54Cathy, no.

0:17:54 > 0:17:56And there's a fan as well, somewhere.

0:17:59 > 0:18:01Maybe we should go back...

0:18:01 > 0:18:03Yes, that's a good idea, Beth.

0:18:04 > 0:18:07I would show Michelle my toilet - you'd love that, Michelle,

0:18:07 > 0:18:11it's really practical - you can shit in it and then flush it away.

0:18:11 > 0:18:14Are you doing anything to the upstairs?

0:18:14 > 0:18:17Old Archie that had it, he was never upstairs -

0:18:17 > 0:18:20he had his commode and his basin in his living room.

0:18:20 > 0:18:23There's Artex on the ceiling in the bedroom that Michelle wants rid of.

0:18:23 > 0:18:25Aw, that can be a bugger to get rid of.

0:18:25 > 0:18:27I've got a mate that's a plasterer -

0:18:27 > 0:18:29I got him to come out and have a look at it.

0:18:29 > 0:18:30Oh, aye, and what did he think?

0:18:30 > 0:18:32He thought it looked fucking horrible as well.

0:18:32 > 0:18:35It'll be worth it when you get it all looking the way you want it.

0:18:35 > 0:18:36Oh, aye.

0:18:36 > 0:18:38I'm actually turning the back bedroom into a nursery.

0:18:38 > 0:18:42- Aw, are you?- Ah, I said to Beth it won't be long

0:18:42 > 0:18:45before she's dragging a pushchair up that driveway.

0:18:45 > 0:18:48So is she up the duff just now, is she?

0:18:48 > 0:18:49Well, we're trying.

0:18:49 > 0:18:51Aw, that's the best bit, Alan, plenty of it.

0:18:51 > 0:18:53Enjoy it while it lasts, eh, Eric?

0:18:53 > 0:18:55Oh, aye.

0:18:55 > 0:18:58I thought I saw a new mattress getting delivered.

0:18:58 > 0:19:01That'll be taking a hammering, will it no', Alan?

0:19:01 > 0:19:04That's great, Alan - be nice to have more kids on the street.

0:19:04 > 0:19:07Our Ian's grown up and away living in a flat now.

0:19:07 > 0:19:09With a man.

0:19:11 > 0:19:14Here, you must be knackered, all this work

0:19:14 > 0:19:16and then you've to get your sleeves rolled up at night as well.

0:19:16 > 0:19:18Aye, Michelle's got a thing on her phone that pings

0:19:18 > 0:19:21and tells her when's the best time to get rode.

0:19:21 > 0:19:24Here, Eric, we'll need to listen for that.

0:19:26 > 0:19:28Hey!

0:19:28 > 0:19:31Aw, here she is, how did you get on?

0:19:31 > 0:19:34- Aye, fine.- Did you have a go on that big leather couch?

0:19:34 > 0:19:38Tell you, see that with a pair of crimplene slacks -

0:19:38 > 0:19:40you're sliding about like It's A Knockout.

0:19:42 > 0:19:45Well, I was going to ask if anyone wanted another cup of tea

0:19:45 > 0:19:47but I can see you've already...

0:19:47 > 0:19:50Well, we just wanted to give Alan a proper welcome.

0:19:50 > 0:19:51Here, Alan, son, watch this.

0:19:53 > 0:19:55Wait, wait.

0:19:56 > 0:19:57HE BURPS QUIETLY

0:19:57 > 0:19:58THEY LAUGH

0:19:58 > 0:19:59Thank you!

0:19:59 > 0:20:01Wait, wait, wait, wait.

0:20:01 > 0:20:03HE BURPS LOUDLY

0:20:03 > 0:20:04MICHELLE LAUGHS

0:20:04 > 0:20:06CHRISTINE LAUGHS SARCASTICALLY

0:20:08 > 0:20:10Michelle, would you like a drink?

0:20:10 > 0:20:11I'm having a beer.

0:20:11 > 0:20:15That's a beer, a tea and a Fanta I've had aff her.

0:20:15 > 0:20:17Good man, Alan!

0:20:17 > 0:20:19Well, I'd maybe take a wee glass of wine.

0:20:19 > 0:20:21Wine for Michelle, Beth!

0:20:28 > 0:20:30- She's a fucking cow.- What?!

0:20:30 > 0:20:32She is trouble.

0:20:32 > 0:20:33I am telling you.

0:20:33 > 0:20:35Oh, Cathy, don't start.

0:20:35 > 0:20:38I say to her her jeans are nice, what do I get back?

0:20:38 > 0:20:40- IMITATES:- "Aw, thank you."

0:20:40 > 0:20:41Cathy.

0:20:41 > 0:20:45I mention Dubai so I can tell her things, she says she's already been.

0:20:45 > 0:20:48And then I invite her into my house,

0:20:48 > 0:20:49I walk around my island

0:20:49 > 0:20:51and, like, switch lights on and off

0:20:51 > 0:20:54all for her, so she can say she prefers it in here!

0:20:54 > 0:20:55I mean, come on!

0:20:55 > 0:20:56Oh, for goodness' sake.

0:20:56 > 0:21:00I know exactly what she's up to.

0:21:00 > 0:21:02I've met women like that before -

0:21:02 > 0:21:05I've been on nights out with cabin crew.

0:21:05 > 0:21:09She's just moved in! She seems like a very nice girl.

0:21:09 > 0:21:11- And she's only been here two minutes...- Aw.

0:21:11 > 0:21:13..so go easy!

0:21:15 > 0:21:16I'm warning you!

0:21:19 > 0:21:21Oh, here, Alan, we've had some laughs in this street,

0:21:21 > 0:21:23- have we no', Eric?- Have we?

0:21:23 > 0:21:25Remember the time that you fell on the ice?

0:21:25 > 0:21:26Oh!

0:21:26 > 0:21:29- THEY LAUGH - Oh, I remember that.

0:21:29 > 0:21:32Here, here, what about that time you locked yourself out your house?

0:21:32 > 0:21:34THEY LAUGH

0:21:34 > 0:21:36Oh, yeah!

0:21:36 > 0:21:40No, no, no, no, remember that time that your ceiling came in?

0:21:40 > 0:21:41THEY LAUGH

0:21:44 > 0:21:46What's fucking funny about that?

0:21:46 > 0:21:48The best, I'll tell you the best,

0:21:48 > 0:21:49right, remember that time

0:21:49 > 0:21:52you had the flat battery and I came out with the jump leads.

0:21:52 > 0:21:54Eric, Eric, Eric, shh,

0:21:54 > 0:21:58Michelle's not interested in our boring stories, are you, Michelle?

0:22:01 > 0:22:03What happened, Eric?

0:22:03 > 0:22:06Well, I said to Beth to park our car next to his,

0:22:06 > 0:22:08so she reversed up to his bonnet.

0:22:08 > 0:22:11So our boot was next to his bonnet.

0:22:11 > 0:22:15And no' as it should have been, bonnet to bonnet.

0:22:19 > 0:22:20Well, I wasn't thinking.

0:22:20 > 0:22:21Unbelievable.

0:22:21 > 0:22:24- Honestly. You want to have seen it! - What a dozy cow!

0:22:27 > 0:22:29Youse'll love it here.

0:22:29 > 0:22:31Yes, you'll be very happy.

0:22:31 > 0:22:35I tell you what - it's a brilliant place to bring up a wee baby.

0:22:36 > 0:22:37Sorry?

0:22:38 > 0:22:41Well, Alan and Michelle are trying for a baby, aren't youse?

0:22:41 > 0:22:43- Well...- Are you?!

0:22:43 > 0:22:46Aye, she's got a thing on her phone that pings

0:22:46 > 0:22:49when it's time for her to get pumped.

0:22:49 > 0:22:51What are you doing talking about this?

0:22:51 > 0:22:52Aw, we're just chatting...

0:22:52 > 0:22:56Well, I think it's lovely, Michelle. Isn't it nice, Eric?

0:22:56 > 0:22:58It'll be great to have kids on the street.

0:22:58 > 0:22:59That's what I said.

0:22:59 > 0:23:03I've got a granddaughter myself, Michelle,

0:23:03 > 0:23:06she's living in council accommodation in North Wales.

0:23:06 > 0:23:09What happened to the twins that were in that bungalow on the corner?

0:23:09 > 0:23:11Fostered out.

0:23:11 > 0:23:13Well, it's early days at the moment,

0:23:13 > 0:23:16so let's just see what happens, eh?

0:23:16 > 0:23:17Here's hoping!

0:23:17 > 0:23:20Oh, oh, oh, oh, I think I should take that, Michelle.

0:23:20 > 0:23:21Cathy!

0:23:22 > 0:23:25No vino for the bambino.

0:23:26 > 0:23:28See, if you do run into any trouble,

0:23:28 > 0:23:30and you need to get your sperm checked, Alan,

0:23:30 > 0:23:33there's a place I went that I'd highly recommend

0:23:33 > 0:23:36cos their selection of magazines was, well, was superb.

0:23:36 > 0:23:40You know I was done in just under, what, four minutes?

0:23:40 > 0:23:42If you're looking for a baby-sitter, Michelle,

0:23:42 > 0:23:47my good friend Pat over the back has recently switched to the vaping.

0:23:47 > 0:23:49Well, we've got plenty to be getting on with,

0:23:49 > 0:23:52with all the stuff needing done to the house, so...

0:23:52 > 0:23:53We were just saying, Beth,

0:23:53 > 0:23:56how everyone used to muck in and help with the old DIY.

0:23:56 > 0:23:57That's right.

0:23:57 > 0:23:59Ah, that's kind, but I think we'll be fine.

0:23:59 > 0:24:01Awww. Are you sure, Michelle?

0:24:01 > 0:24:03- Yeah.- We can help.

0:24:03 > 0:24:04No, honestly.

0:24:04 > 0:24:06Cathy, she's fine.
