-'Southbridge Comprehensive. How can I help?'

-Hello. This is Herbert Jones,

0:00:020:00:05

and I work for the Bone Marrow Registry

0:00:050:00:07

of England and Wales.

0:00:070:00:11

I am trying to get in contact with one of your former teachers,

0:00:110:00:13

a Miss...Melodie Thomas.

0:00:130:00:17

It seems that she may be a potential match for one of our patients.

0:00:170:00:20

'Sorry, we can't give out any personal information.'

0:00:200:00:23

Oh. Well, that's fine. I'm sure our patient will understand...

0:00:230:00:27

when they're dead!

0:00:270:00:28

This programme contains some strong language

0:00:280:00:33

HE TAPS ON KEYBOARD

0:00:330:00:35

What do you think would be

0:00:350:00:36

a nice present for your mum

0:00:360:00:38

when she finishes radiotherapy?

0:00:380:00:40

Hello? Veronica just asked you a que... Would you mind not using that

0:00:400:00:44

at the breakfast table?

0:00:440:00:45

Actually, I would. I've found an amazing deal for my Euro trip.

0:00:450:00:48

And it's going to be gone in a couple of minutes unless we act now.

0:00:480:00:50

What Euro trip?

0:00:500:00:52

The one for my 16th birthday.

0:00:520:00:53

I've found a package that takes me to Barcelona, Rome, Athens, Istanbul, Munich

0:00:530:00:56

and Stockholm, home of the world's largest Ikea.

0:00:560:00:59

And it's only £2,500.

0:00:590:01:01

-Can I use your credit card? I already know the number.

-Definitely not.

0:01:010:01:04

What 16-year-old goes alone on a trip round Europe?

0:01:040:01:06

Malala won a Nobel prize when she was 16.

0:01:060:01:09

It was the Peace Prize. They give that to anyone.

0:01:090:01:11

If you don't want me to go alone, I can always just ask Murray Thomas.

0:01:110:01:14

His crippling sleep apnoea has nearly cleared up now.

0:01:140:01:17

You get straight As in your GCSEs, then we'll talk.

0:01:170:01:19

That's not fair.

0:01:190:01:20

I'm bored of formal education. I'm trying to enrich myself.

0:01:200:01:23

If you feel that strongly about it, you're old enough to get a job and pay for the trip yourself.

0:01:230:01:26

A job? You want ME to get a job?

0:01:260:01:29

Me? A rebel thinker?

0:01:290:01:31

Hands of a Victorian lady?

0:01:310:01:33

Do I look like I'm built for hard labour?

0:01:330:01:35

I'm not ordering you down the mines. What century are you living in?

0:01:350:01:38

Why don't you just... blog for money or something?

0:01:380:01:41

Ha! You think writing pays money?

0:01:410:01:43

What century are YOU living in?

0:01:430:01:44

How do you know my credit card number?

0:01:470:01:49

-Jesus, Andy!

-What? You're just peeing.

0:01:490:01:52

This had better be good. I was about to break my Wordament high score.

0:01:520:01:55

I can't decide which guitar to use for the song that I'm writing.

0:01:550:01:59

Have you ever heard of Old Black?

0:01:590:02:00

Don't tell me that's what you call Bruce's penis.

0:02:000:02:02

No, that's Will Smith II.

0:02:020:02:04

No, I'm talking about Neil Young's guitar.

0:02:040:02:06

-What do you know about Neil Young's...?

-The TV was stuck on BBC Four one night.

0:02:060:02:09

Neil's had Old Black for, like, 40 years,

0:02:090:02:11

even though she weighs a ton and gives him back pain.

0:02:110:02:13

Now, why would Neil put up with that when he could buy any guitar in the world?

0:02:130:02:17

Will Smith II? Seriously?

0:02:170:02:18

It's because he's dedicated to her, for better or worse.

0:02:180:02:22

That is why Neil's the kind of guy he is.

0:02:220:02:24

He puts in the hours to make the relationship work.

0:02:240:02:26

Can you see me settling down and getting married?

0:02:260:02:30

We learn how to form healthy relationships from our parents.

0:02:300:02:32

That's a yes.

0:02:320:02:34

You're screwed. Now, get out.

0:02:340:02:36

Hang on, are you hiding in here?

0:02:360:02:38

No, I'm just enjoying my last moments of peace

0:02:380:02:40

before Mum and Dad arrive from Spain tonight.

0:02:400:02:42

-What are you stressed about? They're not that bad.

-Oh, really, says the golden child?

0:02:420:02:46

Meanwhile, I'm the one that has to smile while Mum criticises my hair

0:02:460:02:49

and goes on about homoeopathic cures,

0:02:490:02:51

and Dad boasts about his five seconds as a folk singer.

0:02:510:02:54

And, yes, I've stocked up on booze, and, no, I haven't had any,

0:02:540:02:57

and, no, I'm not going to tell you where it is.

0:02:570:02:59

-You're no fun.

-I know, but someone's got to be the adult in this family.

0:02:590:03:01

DOORBELL

0:03:010:03:03

Oh! God, they're early! Get out.

0:03:030:03:05

Go. Shit.

0:03:050:03:06

Ah! Look who's here.

0:03:060:03:09

It's my rock star.

0:03:090:03:10

Can you spare a kiss for your number-one fan?

0:03:100:03:13

Or you can sign my tits if you prefer.

0:03:130:03:14

Why do I have to choose?

0:03:140:03:16

What do you think of my tan, eh?

0:03:170:03:19

It's nice.

0:03:190:03:20

Full coverage.

0:03:200:03:21

Yeah. The neighbours enjoyed the full view, didn't they, Jane?

0:03:210:03:25

Look at that face.

0:03:250:03:27

If I had a mug like that, I'd never leave the house.

0:03:270:03:29

I'd just stand naked in the mirror, loving myself all day.

0:03:290:03:33

Loving yourself has never really been your problem, has it, Neville?

0:03:330:03:36

NEVILLE CHUCKLES

0:03:360:03:37

Oh! And here's my cancer warrior.

0:03:370:03:40

Honk-honk! Hello, girls! They're looking perky.

0:03:400:03:43

Yeah, well, the radiation therapy can cause...

0:03:430:03:45

Radiation! You only had stage two.

0:03:450:03:48

Why are you bothering with that rubbish?

0:03:480:03:50

It'll just give you more cancer down the line.

0:03:500:03:51

-Says the woman who smokes unfiltered cigarettes.

-I offset it with homoeopathy.

0:03:510:03:55

Speaking of, I've brought you some fluoride-of-lime tablets.

0:03:550:03:59

I promise, you don't need any more of this radioactive mess.

0:03:590:04:02

-It's just the medical industry trying to make money out of you.

-Great(!)

0:04:020:04:05

-Now, what's going on with your roots?

-So, you guys are early.

0:04:050:04:08

Your mother thought we should surprise you.

0:04:080:04:10

So...

0:04:100:04:12

Surprise!

0:04:120:04:13

And Brian's been looking after us lovely.

0:04:130:04:15

He pours a mean Baileys.

0:04:150:04:17

-Mum, it's Bruce.

-Brian's cool, though.

0:04:170:04:19

HIGH-PITCHED: "I'm not the Messiah. I've been a very naughty boy!"

0:04:190:04:22

Monty Python.

0:04:240:04:25

Bruce, did you know that I once opened for Billy Bragg?

0:04:250:04:29

-Oh, hello there.

-Someone call the police -

0:04:290:04:31

there's an illegally handsome young man on the premises.

0:04:310:04:34

And Errol!

0:04:340:04:36

When did you get so big?

0:04:360:04:37

Oh, if I was 30 years younger...

0:04:370:04:39

Jesus, Mum, he's your grandson.

0:04:390:04:41

Oh, you're so uptight, Sammy. Now, let's have a look at this tattoo.

0:04:410:04:44

Don't worry, when you get a bit older

0:04:440:04:46

you can change it to something cool. Like "samurai".

0:04:460:04:49

Ooh, I bought you a pressie.

0:04:490:04:51

Thank you.

0:04:530:04:55

-I thought you were coming later.

-We couldn't wait

0:04:550:04:57

to give everyone the big news.

0:04:570:04:59

We're getting divorced.

0:05:000:05:02

Could I get a top-up, Brian?

0:05:030:05:04

Divorced?!

0:05:040:05:06

Oh, do you know what this means?

0:05:060:05:08

Yeah - one of them's going to be sleeping in Tiff's room,

0:05:080:05:10

one of them's going to be sleeping in my room.

0:05:100:05:12

I can't sleep in your Petri dish of a flat.

0:05:120:05:14

No. If they're getting divorced,

0:05:140:05:16

what chance do I have of being in a healthy relationship?

0:05:160:05:18

They're literally my only role models.

0:05:180:05:20

Relax.

0:05:200:05:22

Divorce is a gift. Two parents fighting for attention,

0:05:220:05:25

two bedrooms, two birthdays, two Christmases,

0:05:250:05:27

twice the guilt.

0:05:270:05:28

I'm an expert on divorce. I can teach you to get whatever you want.

0:05:280:05:31

I want my mum and dad to stay married, and I'm going to keep them together,

0:05:310:05:34

and if I can do that, then I can make any relationship work.

0:05:340:05:37

I'm sorry, sweetie. I remember when my folks split up.

0:05:370:05:40

Same week Ginger left the Spice Girls.

0:05:400:05:42

-Dark times.

-I don't care about them divorcing.

0:05:420:05:44

-They should have done that years ago.

-Then what is it?

0:05:440:05:47

I thought that being sick would change things with Mum.

0:05:470:05:50

But Andy's always going to be the Jake to my Maggie.

0:05:500:05:52

-What?

-Maggie Gyllenhaal.

0:05:520:05:54

She's older and cooler but Jake gets all the attention because he's a boy.

0:05:540:05:57

But she killed it in Secretary.

0:05:570:05:58

I know! Argh!

0:05:580:06:00

Just forget it. I'm a therapist, I'm not going to fall into any old traps.

0:06:000:06:04

-That's my Sam.

-But it's not fair!

0:06:040:06:06

I'm the one with cancer! They should baby me at least a little bit.

0:06:060:06:09

And that passive-aggressive shit with Mum calling you Brian!

0:06:090:06:12

-She never would have done that with Ben!

-I know. Don't worry. I'll set her straight.

0:06:120:06:16

-Brian, where's the bottle opener?

-Top drawer, next to the fridge.

0:06:160:06:20

We should get a lock on the door. I can't have more idiots barging in and saying stupid shit.

0:06:230:06:26

I'm stopping Mum and Dad from getting a divorce! Who's with me?

0:06:260:06:29

I don't get it. What is the point in a divorce stag do?

0:06:350:06:38

Simple reverse psychology.

0:06:380:06:39

Once we remind Dad how shit it is being single, he'll run straight back to Mum.

0:06:390:06:43

While you're throwing away the gift of a lifetime,

0:06:430:06:45

I'll be twisting Dad and Bruce to my will.

0:06:450:06:47

Go, divorce!

0:06:470:06:48

Yeah, Dad, nothing says recently single like slippery wood and heavy balls.

0:06:490:06:53

Don't worry, old-timer! We'll get through this together.

0:06:530:06:57

You don't have to cheer me up, son.

0:06:570:06:58

We're NOT cheering you up.

0:06:580:07:01

We're celebrating your new life.

0:07:010:07:03

Being single is my second-greatest achievement next to the time

0:07:030:07:06

I came this close to touching a tit with my tongue.

0:07:060:07:10

-Can I smell whisky?

-Ben, get over here,

0:07:100:07:12

you useless Tory twat!

0:07:120:07:15

I missed you, too, you big lefty drunk!

0:07:150:07:18

Hey, where's my hug, you...socialist alky?

0:07:180:07:21

Classic bants there, Bruce(!) The fun's already begun.

0:07:230:07:26

Mum who? Am I right?

0:07:260:07:27

Oh. Oooh. Get off.

0:07:290:07:31

-Get... Oh!

-Psycho?

0:07:310:07:33

No... Er...

0:07:330:07:34

Ooh. Ooh. Naughty. Get away.

0:07:340:07:37

Fifty Shades Of Grey?

0:07:370:07:38

Rarrrr!

0:07:380:07:39

-The Revenant?

-Yes!

0:07:390:07:41

Ben's new wife's energetic.

0:07:410:07:43

Oh, we're not married, but we have been engaged for...almost two years.

0:07:430:07:46

All right, Tiff, you're up next.

0:07:460:07:48

-Who's Tiff?

-Me. I'm Bruce's ex-stepdaughter.

0:07:480:07:51

-Who's Bruce?

-BRIAN'S ex-stepdaughter.

0:07:510:07:53

Oh, well, why didn't you say so?

0:07:530:07:55

-What time does the stripper get here?

-I keep saying, there is no stripper.

0:07:550:07:58

Andy would have got me a stripper.

0:07:580:08:00

Well, Andy's not here, and tonight is about sisterhood.

0:08:000:08:02

We don't need a man to validate us.

0:08:020:08:04

We are celebrating singledom and girl power.

0:08:040:08:07

Who needs men, right?

0:08:070:08:08

This soon-to-be divorcee who hasn't been on the market for 39 years, that's who.

0:08:080:08:12

Come on, Jane, you just need some charades in your life.

0:08:120:08:15

I'll give it a pass, thanks.

0:08:150:08:17

Sounds like somebody's afraid of losing.

0:08:170:08:19

I love losing.

0:08:190:08:21

I lost my virginity twice.

0:08:210:08:22

-Once in the V-hole and once in the A...

-Another drink coming right up.

0:08:220:08:25

I got it. A-hole.

0:08:250:08:28

You're going to love being single.

0:08:290:08:31

Goodbye, putting down the toilet seat.

0:08:310:08:33

Goodbye, sharing the bed. Hello, online dating.

0:08:330:08:35

We're going to have you swiping right

0:08:350:08:38

faster than you can say, "Meaningless shag for one, please."

0:08:380:08:41

Nothing beats the thrill of playing Russian roulette with your penis.

0:08:410:08:45

You know, the over-50s have the fastest-growing rate of STDs.

0:08:450:08:48

Interesting.

0:08:480:08:50

Actually, Jane never took up much room in bed.

0:08:500:08:53

And with my knees, I prefer to piss sitting down.

0:08:530:08:55

And I was never one for meaningless sex.

0:08:550:08:57

I guess I'm just a bit old-fashioned.

0:08:570:08:59

Divorce is bad, but online dating's the worst.

0:08:590:09:02

-What happened, anyway?

-We just...

0:09:020:09:04

..grew apart.

0:09:060:09:07

-Is it too late to fix it?

-Why would he want to fix it?

0:09:070:09:10

You're taking this much better than I thought.

0:09:100:09:12

Your mum had this mad idea you'd have a meltdown and make it about you.

0:09:120:09:15

BOTH LAUGH

0:09:150:09:18

I just want to see my old man happy.

0:09:180:09:19

And once you get over the soul-crushing loneliness of bachelorhood,

0:09:190:09:24

it's all guns and roses.

0:09:240:09:26

You're now free to go wherever you like. Unlike me.

0:09:260:09:29

-Dad thinks I'm too young to see Europe.

-I didn't say that.

0:09:290:09:32

That's a bit harsh. I wish I'd travelled more when I was young.

0:09:320:09:34

I used to get nosebleeds just going north of Waterloo.

0:09:340:09:37

See? Bruce gets it.

0:09:370:09:39

Anyway, back to Dad's great new life... We can go out on double dates.

0:09:390:09:43

Father and son on the pull.

0:09:430:09:45

If that doesn't get you running back to Jane, I don't know what will.

0:09:450:09:48

Hmm.

0:09:480:09:49

SHE EXHALES

0:09:490:09:51

Penny for your thoughts?

0:09:510:09:52

Oh, why can't she just be a normal mother?

0:09:520:09:55

I know exactly what you mean.

0:09:550:09:57

For my 18th birthday, Mummy bought me a Porsche

0:09:570:10:00

when all I wanted was a Range Rover.

0:10:000:10:02

-I never should have agreed to this.

-Agreed to what?

0:10:020:10:05

Andy wanted me to throw Mum a divorce hen do but make it extra boring

0:10:050:10:08

so she'd go running back to Dad, which is the dumbest idea ever,

0:10:080:10:10

but I thought it would be a chance for us to bond.

0:10:100:10:12

It's fine. I'm a therapist.

0:10:120:10:13

I know that looking to other people for self-worth is a losing battle.

0:10:130:10:17

Wait, did you invite me because I'm boring?

0:10:170:10:19

No.

0:10:190:10:21

SHE EXHALES

0:10:210:10:22

Look, if you want to show Andy who's boss,

0:10:220:10:25

you should give her exactly what she wants.

0:10:250:10:28

If she wants men, make it rain men.

0:10:280:10:31

-Hello, boys!

-Val!

0:10:310:10:34

Andy's warned me who everyone is. Roly I know.

0:10:340:10:37

You must be Ben, the prick ex-brother-in-law.

0:10:370:10:40

Andy's only calling me a prick?

0:10:400:10:42

Someone's losing their edge.

0:10:420:10:44

And you must be sweet, gullible Bruce.

0:10:440:10:47

I can't believe you said I was gullible.

0:10:470:10:49

-He didn't.

-I see what you did there.

0:10:490:10:51

And who's this big old grizzly bear?

0:10:510:10:54

I'm Neville, Andy's dad.

0:10:540:10:55

He failed to mention you, my dear.

0:10:550:10:58

Some things speak for themselves.

0:10:580:10:59

I'm Val. Your son dated my daughter for a brief, horrific time.

0:10:590:11:03

-Hey, it wasn't brief.

-That's not what she said.

0:11:030:11:06

-Errol!

-Nice one.

0:11:060:11:07

-Dad, Val here is divorced.

-Oh.

0:11:070:11:10

There's nobody better to tell you

0:11:100:11:13

about the long painful road...

0:11:130:11:15

back to happiness.

0:11:150:11:17

"Don't listen to your children" is rule number one.

0:11:170:11:19

-Nice ball bag.

-Takes one to know one.

0:11:210:11:23

-PULSATING MUSIC

-You wanted men... Voila.

0:11:270:11:30

Is it OK us being here? My best friend Craig

0:11:300:11:32

says it's quite annoying when hen dos rock up at gay clubs.

0:11:320:11:35

Yeah, it's like I said I was hungry and you brought me waxed fruit.

0:11:350:11:38

-Oh, my God, Sam.

-Gwen, hi.

-Hi.

0:11:380:11:41

This is Veronica, Tiffany and my mum, Jane.

0:11:410:11:45

Holy shit. You're Andy's mum. I always thought he was an orphan.

0:11:450:11:48

-Why would you think that?

-He never spoke about his parents.

0:11:480:11:51

Anyway, welcome to Sober Saturday.

0:11:510:11:54

-Sober Saturday?

-A once-a-year event.

0:11:540:11:55

All money goes to AA,

0:11:550:11:57

and Casper makes a mean Virgin Mary.

0:11:570:11:59

Yum!

0:11:590:12:01

So, Andy never mentioned our parents?

0:12:010:12:02

Actually, I'm getting a headache. Maybe we should go?

0:12:020:12:05

-Oh, no, no, no, stay, please.

-Yeah, let's stay.

0:12:050:12:07

Gwen can tell us all her best Andy stories.

0:12:070:12:09

That shouldn't take long.

0:12:090:12:12

Who is ready to see what a real strike looks like?

0:12:120:12:16

Well, you've already shown us a knockout.

0:12:160:12:19

Dad...

0:12:190:12:21

..you realise Val's a man?

0:12:220:12:24

Expand your mind, son.

0:12:240:12:27

Val is a sexual being.

0:12:270:12:29

I don't care which side of the pommel horse they land on

0:12:290:12:32

as long as somebody's getting pommelled.

0:12:320:12:35

It's my round. Come and help, Roly.

0:12:360:12:39

A trip to the bar.

0:12:390:12:40

It's no trip around Europe, but it's a start.

0:12:400:12:43

You're on a streak tonight, Roly.

0:12:440:12:46

-What are you playing at?

-Er, it's called bowling.

0:12:480:12:51

I'm talking about Roly's trip.

0:12:510:12:52

-Keep...out.

-Why?

0:12:520:12:55

Never hurts to broaden your horizons.

0:12:550:12:57

You know, I was going to give him 500 for a new laptop,

0:12:570:12:59

but if he wants to spend it on a trip, I'm cool with that.

0:12:590:13:02

I'm warning you, do not give him that money.

0:13:020:13:05

It's my money. I can do what I like.

0:13:050:13:07

Bruce, I was starting to like you.

0:13:070:13:09

Shut the fuck up, Ben.

0:13:090:13:11

What?

0:13:110:13:12

Big Lebowski.

0:13:120:13:14

You know. "Shut the fuck up, Donny."

0:13:140:13:17

I'm going to see if they need a hand at the bar.

0:13:170:13:19

Oh, oh, oh, strike!

0:13:190:13:22

And that...is how it's done.

0:13:220:13:25

Stop flirting with my dad.

0:13:280:13:30

I brought you here so you could show him how shit divorce is,

0:13:300:13:32

not slink around like Jessica Rabbit.

0:13:320:13:34

Trust me, if I was flirting you'd know about it.

0:13:340:13:36

Oh, and FYI, I'm more of a Cruella de Vil kind of girl.

0:13:360:13:41

Just leave him alone. I'm trying to save my parents' marriage.

0:13:410:13:43

Oh, I get it.

0:13:430:13:45

It's the guy in heels who's always the home-wrecker.

0:13:450:13:47

-Look, that's not what...

-If you want to see flirting,

0:13:470:13:50

I'll show you flirting.

0:13:500:13:52

Who wants a Slippery Nipple?

0:13:520:13:53

I've got two right here.

0:13:550:13:56

GWEN: 'Anyway,'

0:13:560:13:57

Andy starts texting, begging me for a date.

0:13:570:13:59

I say no, until eventually he sends me pictures of...

0:13:590:14:03

his pejazzled dong spelling, "You likey?"

0:14:030:14:07

I wasn't impressed. But I was horny.

0:14:070:14:10

And the rest, as they say, is internet history.

0:14:100:14:13

-What's "pejazzled"?

-It's where you diamante your d...

0:14:130:14:16

Did you hear that, Mum? Sounds like your precious Andy is a little bit of a sex pest.

0:14:160:14:19

Andy's just artistic. Lord knows he didn't get it from me.

0:14:190:14:22

Creativity skips the women in this family.

0:14:220:14:25

Wow, Ben just took me to a Yo! Sushi for our first date.

0:14:250:14:28

Really? He took Sam to a concert in Paris on theirs.

0:14:280:14:30

Oh, yeah, but it was Muse, so it doesn't count.

0:14:300:14:33

Wonder what the boys are up to.

0:14:330:14:35

I bet Andy's teaching them some hilarious drinking games.

0:14:350:14:37

-Mum, you do know that Andy is sober now?

-Aww. That's so brave of him.

0:14:370:14:41

You never said it was brave when I went clean.

0:14:410:14:43

Cos you take after my side and the Abbotts never stay clean long.

0:14:430:14:46

I mean, look at your Uncle Frank, God rest his rotten soul.

0:14:460:14:48

There's no shame, but you mark my words, you're not done.

0:14:480:14:52

Caught her snorting sherbet when she was five.

0:14:520:14:55

Ooh, off to powder her nose!

0:14:550:14:58

I need to get Val out of here.

0:15:000:15:02

He's putting such a smile on Grandad's face.

0:15:020:15:04

It's not his face I'm worried about. Also, stop messing your dad and Bruce about.

0:15:040:15:07

You're jealous that I know how to play the divorce game.

0:15:070:15:10

Behold the puppet master. I am Geppetto.

0:15:100:15:12

Trust me, you're Pinocchio all day.

0:15:120:15:15

Now, help me get rid of Val or I'm telling your dad and Bruce.

0:15:150:15:18

Like they'd ever believe you.

0:15:180:15:20

Wait, wait, wait, wait. I have a cunning plan.

0:15:200:15:23

Sam, are you all right?

0:15:230:15:25

Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's just all the cologne making my eyes water.

0:15:250:15:29

Bloody Jean Paul Gaultier.

0:15:300:15:32

Come here.

0:15:320:15:33

Everybody out!

0:15:330:15:34

-Seriously, what's up?

-Oh, it's just...my mother is a monster!

0:15:370:15:40

-What's going on?

-Sam wants to kill her mum.

0:15:400:15:42

She thinks that Andy's the best thing since boxed wine.

0:15:420:15:45

I know the feeling. The only reason Dad put me in charge tonight

0:15:450:15:48

is cos it's Sober Saturday and he knew it would be dead.

0:15:480:15:50

Mummy made me ride a pony until I was 16,

0:15:500:15:52

even though I was clearly ready for a full-size horse at 12.

0:15:520:15:54

PHONE BUZZES

0:15:540:15:56

What do you want?

0:15:590:16:00

Who says I want anything?

0:16:000:16:01

Can't a guy just call his favourite gal pal?

0:16:010:16:03

-I'm hanging up now.

-'No, wait.'

0:16:030:16:06

I need a favour.

0:16:060:16:07

'Can you call Val and say there's a problem'

0:16:070:16:09

down the club and he needs to come back immediately?

0:16:090:16:11

On the first night my dad's ever left me fully in charge

0:16:110:16:14

'you want me to tell him I can't take the heat'

0:16:140:16:16

just so I can help YOU get out of a stupid situation you got yourself into?

0:16:160:16:19

-I knew you'd understand.

-'I'll do it,'

0:16:190:16:21

if you tell your mum she needs to treat Sam better

0:16:210:16:24

and that you're a shit son.

0:16:240:16:25

Fine.

0:16:250:16:26

Wait, how do you know I've got a mum?

0:16:260:16:28

-PRETENDING TO SNEEZE:

-Wanker!

0:16:280:16:30

NEVILLE CHUCKLES

0:16:310:16:33

You're just in time to see me pound the pins.

0:16:330:16:37

I'll give you a hand with your stroke.

0:16:370:16:40

Come here.

0:16:410:16:42

Sorry, mate. Hope my sneeze didn't throw you off.

0:16:420:16:46

No worries.

0:16:460:16:47

Hey, Roly, I'm going to pay for your trip. The whole shebang.

0:16:480:16:52

-Really?

-No. No.

0:16:520:16:55

I'll... I'll pay for it.

0:16:550:16:57

I have an idea. Roly, why don't you pick who YOU want to pay for it?

0:16:570:17:00

-PHONE RINGS

-Oh. Hello.

0:17:000:17:01

-Well, this shouldn't be a contest(!)

-Roly?

0:17:010:17:04

Oh, it's my go.

0:17:040:17:06

Yeah, yeah, I'll be right there. Got to go, guys. Security issue at Cox.

0:17:060:17:10

That's a shame(!)

0:17:100:17:11

-We could come with you.

-I'm sure Val probably needs to deal with this alone.

0:17:110:17:14

I'm with Grandad. It wouldn't be a proper divorce stag do if we all split up, would it?

0:17:140:17:18

-Just let her know how you feel.

-Yeah, we've got your back, Sam.

0:17:200:17:23

All right, here goes nothing.

0:17:230:17:25

Oh, hell, no!

0:17:260:17:28

Oh, hey, babe.

0:17:280:17:29

Look, I've found the only straight one. I'm giving him a little reiki.

0:17:290:17:33

You get your hands off my boyfriend!

0:17:330:17:35

Calm down, babe. I'm just being friendly for tips.

0:17:350:17:37

I bet your tip's plenty friendly.

0:17:370:17:39

Babe, she's Andy's mum!

0:17:390:17:41

Urgh, what?! Urgh!

0:17:410:17:43

I thought Andy was an orphan.

0:17:430:17:44

Why do people keep saying that?

0:17:440:17:46

-Mum, there's something I need to say.

-VAL:

-What's going on?

0:17:460:17:49

Oh, yeah, ooh...Andy made me lie to get you here.

0:17:490:17:52

Now I've done my part of the deal, I think he has something to say to you, Jane.

0:17:520:17:55

ANDY: Er... The...

0:17:550:17:57

The thing that I wanted to say...

0:17:570:18:00

is that...um...Errol has been playing

0:18:000:18:02

Bruce and Ben off like mugs to get them to pay for his Euro trip.

0:18:020:18:05

N-No...

0:18:050:18:06

-No. Does...does that sound like me?

-Pretty much, yeah.

0:18:060:18:09

Well, Mum and Andy are doing the world's shittest Parent Trap.

0:18:090:18:12

-Liar!

-Bruce, I told you not to get involved.

0:18:120:18:14

He's not your kid.

0:18:140:18:16

Ben, we're all co-parenting here.

0:18:160:18:19

And why didn't you take ME to Paris on our first date?

0:18:190:18:21

Have you got cold feet?

0:18:210:18:23

What?

0:18:230:18:25

Can we...talk about this later?

0:18:250:18:26

I can't believe you're Andy's mum. I always thought he was a...

0:18:260:18:29

If you say "orphan" I swear I'll shank you, lady.

0:18:290:18:32

-Don't you talk to Val like that, or...

-Or what?

0:18:320:18:34

You haven't got the guts to follow through.

0:18:340:18:36

You know who's got a lovely follow-through? Roger Federer.

0:18:360:18:38

How's this for follow-through?

0:18:380:18:40

Oh, yeah?

0:18:400:18:42

Argh! Can everyone just stop before my eyes start bleeding?!

0:18:440:18:48

After all I did for you...

0:18:480:18:51

Gave you 39 years, got you off the street,

0:18:510:18:53

gave up my singing career for you, and now you're leaving me?

0:18:530:18:56

Career?!

0:18:560:18:57

You've played to picket lines and working men's clubs for pork scratchings.

0:18:570:19:01

You were never a real folk singer,

0:19:010:19:03

you...disco lover!

0:19:030:19:05

I gave up my childhood to be your wife.

0:19:050:19:08

So it was my fault I was the only guy on the estate stand-up enough to marry

0:19:080:19:11

the pregnant teenager?

0:19:110:19:13

Didn't even know if it was mine. Still don't!

0:19:130:19:16

And by "it", do you mean me?

0:19:170:19:19

Let's face it, you hardly look like your brother,

0:19:190:19:21

and you don't look a thing like me.

0:19:210:19:23

Sam, it's not true. We've got the same eyes and...

0:19:230:19:26

..roots.

0:19:270:19:28

So that's why you treat me like shit? Because I'm the mistake? Me?

0:19:280:19:33

Do you think it was easy growing up with parents like you?

0:19:340:19:36

Always screaming and drinking

0:19:360:19:38

and dumping us on mental relatives and leaving us alone for days?

0:19:380:19:43

Can you blame me?

0:19:430:19:44

You were like raising that girl from The Exorcist.

0:19:440:19:47

You make Cersei Lannister look like Mary Berry!

0:19:470:19:50

It's a miracle that I've done anything with my life.

0:19:500:19:53

OK, I had a little addiction problem back there, but look at my role models.

0:19:530:19:57

But still, I had a son,

0:19:570:19:59

I got my master's,

0:19:590:20:01

I am fighting cancer, and I nearly

0:20:010:20:03

died on an operating table, but you still favour Andy!

0:20:030:20:08

The single...

0:20:080:20:09

30-something musician who lives in my fucking basement!

0:20:090:20:14

Garden flat.

0:20:140:20:16

You've always treated me like the fuck-up,

0:20:160:20:18

but it's him, Mum, it's always been him. He's just like you.

0:20:180:20:21

Oh... Shit!

0:20:210:20:24

-BRUCE:

-Sam...

0:20:240:20:26

I think we should go home.

0:20:260:20:27

-You stay out of this, Brian.

-It's Bruce, Mum! It's fucking Bruce!

0:20:270:20:33

And I'm Maggie Gyllenhaal!

0:20:330:20:36

And you don't deserve Maggie.

0:20:360:20:38

So you get Jake.

0:20:380:20:40

Right... How about a round of shots on the house?

0:20:410:20:45

-But it's Sober Saturday.

-We've had a report of an incident.

0:20:450:20:48

Finally! Something that can get my mind off this palaver.

0:20:480:20:52

Let's see what you're working with, hot stuff.

0:20:520:20:55

DOOR CLANGS KEYS JANGLE

0:20:570:20:59

Can you give us a minute?

0:21:080:21:09

DOOR SLAMS

0:21:130:21:15

Mum, there's some things...some things that I said, I didn't mean...

0:21:200:21:23

Don't worry.

0:21:230:21:24

Already forgotten.

0:21:240:21:26

-Mum.

-I mean it. I'm fine.

0:21:260:21:29

You've got a mouth on you.

0:21:300:21:32

You get it from me.

0:21:320:21:34

There's that look.

0:21:350:21:36

-What look?

-You know.

0:21:360:21:39

The look that sees right through me.

0:21:390:21:41

You're right. I'm a shit mum.

0:21:420:21:44

I was a child when I had you and I...I never caught up.

0:21:470:21:51

And you had much higher parenting expectations than Andy.

0:21:510:21:53

I only shower him with attention cos he always acts so helpless.

0:21:530:21:57

He's like a rescue dog.

0:21:570:21:58

Happy to be fed and have his balls within reach.

0:21:590:22:02

I'd like to say I can change, but I don't think I can.

0:22:040:22:07

I don't have your strength.

0:22:070:22:08

I'm not expecting you to change. I just... I just want to know that you care.

0:22:080:22:13

You think I don't care about your cancer?

0:22:140:22:15

Your dad will tell you, it's destroying me.

0:22:170:22:20

I'm the one who should be sick.

0:22:210:22:23

Jesus, I smoke while I'm on the sunbed!

0:22:230:22:25

I'm proud of you.

0:22:250:22:28

I love you to death.

0:22:280:22:29

Maybe not the best choice of words for a cancer patient.

0:22:330:22:37

But thanks.

0:22:370:22:38

So...who is my father?

0:22:410:22:45

It's Neville.

0:22:450:22:47

Probably.

0:22:470:22:49

Well, I hope it is.

0:22:490:22:50

Cos the other options ain't good.

0:22:520:22:53

Dad, Bruce, I'm...

0:22:550:22:57

sorry for the way I behaved.

0:22:570:22:59

After the divorce, I realised everyone just wanted to keep me happy,

0:22:590:23:02

so I took advantage of that.

0:23:020:23:05

And now I'm ready for my punishment.

0:23:050:23:08

What do you think, Bruce?

0:23:080:23:10

Oh, you could clean Andy's flat.

0:23:100:23:13

-Ha-ha, funny one, Veronica!

-Actually, that's a great idea.

0:23:130:23:16

No. Please. Anything but that.

0:23:160:23:19

Dad, does that sound fair to you?

0:23:190:23:22

I'm doing it again, aren't I?

0:23:220:23:24

Sorry I kissed you, Val.

0:23:270:23:29

It's OK. It was worth it just for the look on Andy's face.

0:23:290:23:32

But if you ever try that again without my consent,

0:23:320:23:34

I will cut your prostate out with a rusty tin lid.

0:23:340:23:38

You get sexier by the minute.

0:23:380:23:40

How am I ever supposed to make a relationship work

0:23:440:23:47

if I can't even keep my own family together?

0:23:470:23:49

Oh, shut up.

0:23:490:23:51

-Why are you smiling?

-Every time you tell me to shut up

0:23:520:23:54

it means you're just about to lay down some serious wisdom on me and fix everything.

0:23:540:23:58

I'm not your fairy godmother, Andy.

0:23:580:24:00

You're a big boy.

0:24:000:24:02

Fix your own life.

0:24:030:24:04

Fix my own life?

0:24:110:24:13

Yeah.

0:24:130:24:14

Nice one, Val.

0:24:160:24:18

FOOTSTEPS

0:24:180:24:20

Andy, I am so sorry. I didn't mean those...

0:24:240:24:27

horrible things I said.

0:24:270:24:29

Of course you did. I don't blame you.

0:24:290:24:32

I was just angry with Mum and it spilled over.

0:24:320:24:34

Maggie Gyllenhaal is consistent, but who am I kidding?

0:24:350:24:38

She's never done anything as good as Nightcrawler.

0:24:380:24:41

On the other hand...

0:24:410:24:43

Maggie doesn't need to apologise for Prince Of Persia.

0:24:430:24:46

Or Bubble Boy.

0:24:460:24:47

Still, I think I am going to ask Dad to take a paternity test with me,

0:24:500:24:53

you know, just so we know...

0:24:530:24:55

Shut up! All right? You're not doing it.

0:24:550:24:57

It doesn't matter what the test says.

0:24:570:24:58

You're my sister, he's your father. You don't need a test to prove...

0:24:580:25:01

I love you, Jake.

0:25:040:25:06

Right back at you, Maggie.

0:25:060:25:08

Isn't it weird, you and Dad travelling back together after everything?

0:25:100:25:13

No. It'll be months before we can move out.

0:25:130:25:16

39 years' worth of CDs and sex toys won't separate themselves.

0:25:160:25:20

Who knows? A lot can happen in that time.

0:25:200:25:23

One thing's for sure - this family can take a bigger pounding than a rhino vag.

0:25:230:25:28

Here you go. Don't tell your sister.

0:25:280:25:30

Mum, I'm not a boy any more.

0:25:300:25:31

You know, when I watch milf porn, it's not a fetish,

0:25:310:25:34

it's just age-appropriate.

0:25:340:25:36

And as much as I love all the special attention, I am a bad son.

0:25:360:25:40

I never call, I never send birthday cards. Sam's the good one.

0:25:410:25:46

Whoa!

0:25:460:25:47

I'll forgive you just this once.

0:25:470:25:50

But...I think that you should stop taking it easy on me.

0:25:500:25:54

The reason I give up on relationships is because you and Dad...

0:25:540:25:57

you never made me work for anything.

0:25:570:25:59

I want you to tell it like it is.

0:25:590:26:01

OK.

0:26:010:26:02

You're talented, but your music's soft.

0:26:030:26:05

You need to start dyeing your hair, cos you're going grey.

0:26:050:26:07

And stop blaming other people for your problems...

0:26:070:26:10

Mum, got it! Save some for later!

0:26:100:26:12

You know, when I found out your mum was pregnant,

0:26:220:26:24

I didn't want to run away like my father did.

0:26:240:26:26

And I could see she didn't have any decent men in her life, so...

0:26:260:26:29

..I stayed.

0:26:310:26:32

But then you were born.

0:26:320:26:34

And I saw you there, all pink and smiling.

0:26:340:26:37

That wisp of hair like duckling fluff on the top of your head.

0:26:370:26:42

And I fell in love.

0:26:420:26:44

With both of you.

0:26:440:26:46

You know, you'll always be my special girl.

0:26:460:26:50

I love you, Dad.

0:26:520:26:53

I love you, too, sweetie.

0:26:530:26:55

I'm a bit old for pocket money.

0:26:560:26:58

Your mum wanted me to give you this to get your roots done.

0:26:580:27:02

-Oh!

-Take it,

0:27:020:27:04

or I'll never hear the end of it.

0:27:040:27:05

Bye, handsome. And if you ever need money,

0:27:080:27:10

-you call your Grandma Jane.

-Thank you.

0:27:100:27:12

But I'm going to start to trying to earn things on my own from now.

0:27:120:27:15

And if that doesn't work out, I'll just start a crowdfunding page.

0:27:150:27:18

You take care of my baby, Bruce.

0:27:180:27:20

I promise I will...Jenny.

0:27:200:27:21

It's Jane!

0:27:210:27:22

I know.

0:27:220:27:24

I'm a quick learner,

0:27:310:27:32

I'm an excellent problem-solver

0:27:320:27:34

and quite the people person.

0:27:340:27:37

But most importantly, I'm a very good liar.

0:27:370:27:39

You're hired.

0:27:430:27:44

Welcome to Carpet Brothers.

0:27:440:27:45

ANDY: 'Ladies...'

0:27:450:27:46

I've had a lot of fun with all of you.

0:27:460:27:48

But I need to pick just one of you.

0:27:480:27:51

And there's only one way to make such an important decision.

0:27:510:27:55

Eeny, meeny, miny, moe

0:27:570:27:59

Catch a tiger by the toe

0:27:590:28:00

If it hollers, let it go

0:28:000:28:03

Eeny, meeny, miny... DOORBELL

0:28:030:28:05

..moe.

0:28:070:28:09

# Throw me

0:28:090:28:12

# No more bones and I will tell you no lies

0:28:120:28:15

# This time

0:28:150:28:18

# You know I'll leave

0:28:180:28:20

# Here's to taking what you came for

0:28:200:28:22

# And here's to running off the pain

0:28:220:28:25

# And here's to just another no man

0:28:250:28:27

# If you want another

0:28:270:28:29

# Say you need another... #
