0:00:00 > 0:00:03# What happened to you?
0:00:03 > 0:00:06# Whatever happened to me?
0:00:06 > 0:00:11# What became of the people
0:00:11 > 0:00:13# We used to be?
0:00:14 > 0:00:17# Tomorrow's almost over
0:00:17 > 0:00:20# The day went by so fast
0:00:20 > 0:00:25# Is the only thing to look forward to
0:00:25 > 0:00:28# The past? #
0:00:40 > 0:00:42BOB CHUCKLES
0:00:42 > 0:00:46- Why are you laughing? - You're out of place with kids.
0:00:46 > 0:00:52I'm earning my keep. Our Audrey's put me up so I'm baby-sitting.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55Who's a pretty? Coo-oo!
0:00:55 > 0:00:58- Hi, Bob.- Hi, Aud. All right? - Well enough.
0:00:58 > 0:01:05- How's Thelma?- Fine. May I take your au pair out for a Sunday morning drink?
0:01:05 > 0:01:08Can I trust you? They're so hard to get.
0:01:08 > 0:01:14- She'll be back for dinner.- Stay for lunch - the kids are off to Grandma.
0:01:14 > 0:01:19- Are you sure you've got enough? - Roast lamb - back at 1.30.- Champion.
0:01:19 > 0:01:24- Pub's not open yet.- Go for a drive. - Good idea! See how the place looks.
0:01:24 > 0:01:32What was the bar we used to hang out in? The Marimba? They had a sexy waitress with green nails.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35- Things change.- Pink now, are they?
0:01:35 > 0:01:38- More than that!- Show us anyway.
0:01:38 > 0:01:42- What time did she say dinner was? - Half past one.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45We don't want to be rushed, do we?
0:02:01 > 0:02:03That was your Marimba Coffee Bar.
0:02:03 > 0:02:10- We used to get raspberry cones with green specks on top. - You mean pistachio?
0:02:10 > 0:02:12No - nail varnish!
0:02:15 > 0:02:19That lot's coming down in a few years.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28- Know where we are now? - Well, vaguely.
0:02:28 > 0:02:34- I just can't place... - Beneath this concrete was once the Go-go Rock Club.
0:02:34 > 0:02:41Members only, licensed till three, closed on Sundays, the North's premier music Mecca.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44The Go-go?! Gone?!
0:02:46 > 0:02:48Gone, but not forgotten.
0:02:48 > 0:02:55At 3am under a full moon, you may see a headless guitarist, drifting through empty parking lots,
0:02:55 > 0:02:58playing "Roll Over, Beethoven".
0:03:02 > 0:03:07This was Saville Street. Anita Tupper lived here - remember?
0:03:08 > 0:03:11No wonder they're pulling it down.
0:03:13 > 0:03:17We fished here on Sundays if we didn't have a fixture.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20Let's get some rods and come back later.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23- No fish.- No fish?!
0:03:23 > 0:03:27- Pollution.- We HAD that, long before it was fashionable!
0:03:27 > 0:03:30They built a chemical factory.
0:03:30 > 0:03:35- There isn't a fish between here and the North Sea.- What a disgrace!
0:03:35 > 0:03:38People have no regard for the environment.
0:03:38 > 0:03:46They pollute the river and the air, and build chemical factories, and dump refuse. It's a disgrace!
0:03:52 > 0:03:56That was the market.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02That was Saturday morning pitches.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07Well, at least Eric has survived.
0:04:07 > 0:04:08Just.
0:04:11 > 0:04:19It's a wonder this pub's still here. I'm surprised they haven't pulled it down to build a new civic centre.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22The civic centre's on top of the old Roxy.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25- Not the Roxy Ballroom?!- 'Fraid so.
0:04:25 > 0:04:33- Hell's teeth! Is nothing sacred? - Two pints, George. I'm sorry, but I had to tell you sometime.
0:04:33 > 0:04:37The National Trust should've preserved it. It's awful!
0:04:37 > 0:04:42All my memories were there. Part of our lives belong to that ballroom!
0:04:42 > 0:04:46The National Trust needs better reasons than that.
0:04:46 > 0:04:53- No Roxy!- On full moons, we'll haunt the civic centre, twisting through corridors.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56To the strains of Art Sibley's Singing Sax!
0:04:56 > 0:05:01- He died, you know, old Art Sibley. - Did he? Poor Art!
0:05:01 > 0:05:03Poor HEART - and lungs!
0:05:03 > 0:05:08You can't blow a sax every night for 20 years and not be damaged.
0:05:08 > 0:05:14He's in the great palais in the sky, welcoming old friends with a toot!
0:05:14 > 0:05:17- And playing "Mr Sandman". - A semitone flat!
0:05:17 > 0:05:22- It would never be the same without Sibley.- It's a tragic loss.
0:05:22 > 0:05:28Yeah, it was the first dance hall I ever went to. Such memories, man!
0:05:28 > 0:05:30First place I ever learnt to dance.
0:05:30 > 0:05:35- First place I learnt social poise and repartee.- Yeah.
0:05:35 > 0:05:43It went: "Can I drive you home?" "Ooh, have you got a car?" "No, I've got a bloody great whip!"
0:05:43 > 0:05:49- Cary Grant said it to Audrey Hepburn.- I bet. - Well, it broke the ice.
0:05:49 > 0:05:53I won their "Win A Holiday For Two" bossa nova contest.
0:05:53 > 0:06:01- Where was the holiday?- It should've been Brazil, home of the bossa nova, but their budget didn't allow it.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03It was a week in Redcar.
0:06:03 > 0:06:08- Is Redcar still there?- I think so. - Nowhere else is that you showed me.
0:06:08 > 0:06:13- None of our memories are intact, except the juvenile court.- Yeah.
0:06:13 > 0:06:18This has made me see the change. If you're always here you don't notice.
0:06:18 > 0:06:24Still, it's a good thing; there's a lot of opportunities round here now.
0:06:24 > 0:06:29At the labour exchange there are very few opportunities,
0:06:29 > 0:06:33unless you want to work for BR parcels or the brewery.
0:06:33 > 0:06:40- You went to the labour exchange, did you?- Er, you have to, for the insurance card.
0:06:40 > 0:06:45- I thought you might've been looking for a job.- No, the insurance card.
0:06:45 > 0:06:49Yeah, fine. You must think about a job soon, you know.
0:06:49 > 0:06:54There's no hurry. I'm not short. I'm not on the breadline.
0:06:54 > 0:07:00I've got my savings and my terminal leave pay. I don't want any old job.
0:07:00 > 0:07:05I must think about it, look around. I'm not sure I want to stay here.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08Especially now there's no Roxy.
0:07:08 > 0:07:15But you'd feel funny anywhere else. If you're on the King's Cross train, you get the jitters at Doncaster!
0:07:15 > 0:07:22That was years ago. I didn't know any better. I thought I'd seen a bit of life.
0:07:22 > 0:07:28I dunno. The town may have a new civic centre, but it's still a dead end.
0:07:28 > 0:07:33- What could YOU do?- I don't know. I just have this feeling.
0:07:33 > 0:07:38I was in the Army with a chap named Hughie McClaren, a really good mate.
0:07:38 > 0:07:43He'd had no education - he'd been a baker in Berwick.
0:07:43 > 0:07:49One day I said to him, "Hughie, what are you going to do when you get out?"
0:07:49 > 0:07:55Guess what he said to me. I won't forget. He said, "Anything I like."
0:07:55 > 0:08:00Not "Well, there's nothing I can do, except bake bread" - oh, no, no, no.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03His attitude was "anything I like"!
0:08:03 > 0:08:08"Surprise move by Heath: Berwick baker to be postmaster general"(!)
0:08:08 > 0:08:15That's your small-town mentality! If you don't believe you can do it, you'll never amount to anything.
0:08:15 > 0:08:23When Hughie got demobbed, he didn't fly back. He hitchhiked from Aden. A bloke like that could do anything.
0:08:23 > 0:08:31Go fur-trapping in Canada, drive to Katmandu, row across the Atlantic - and I might just go with him.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34But your roots are here.
0:08:34 > 0:08:41Five years ago, I was UPROOTED and sent to some draughty barracks, thanks to someone
0:08:41 > 0:08:49- not a million miles away.- Without which you'd not have got the urge to go to Katmandu in a baker's van.
0:08:49 > 0:08:54- One day, that's all I'm saying. One day...- All right.
0:08:54 > 0:08:58But in the meantime, take time to adjust.
0:08:58 > 0:09:04You want money coming in. You won't earn much mowing lawns and baby-sitting.
0:09:04 > 0:09:09If I want a job, a stopgap, I'll go back to Ellison's.
0:09:09 > 0:09:16Old Darby always said to me, "When you come out, Terry, you're job here is open." I'll just go back.
0:09:16 > 0:09:21- There's a problem.- What? - They pulled it down two years ago.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24Anyone want any more pudding?
0:09:24 > 0:09:30I'm sorry the lamb was done so well. I don't understand. It's that clock.
0:09:30 > 0:09:35I put it on at half past eleven to cook slowly. Maybe it's the oven.
0:09:35 > 0:09:42- Maybe it's the meat. Why did you want to change butcher? - Because they closed the old one.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45Is anything standing in this town?
0:09:45 > 0:09:49One solitary pre-1967 brick standing on top of another.
0:09:49 > 0:09:54By 1988 this will be the most exciting environment in the UK.
0:09:54 > 0:10:00Meanwhile, where do you go to dance, or catch fish, or buy decent meat?
0:10:00 > 0:10:02It wasn't the meat, it was the oven.
0:10:02 > 0:10:07They plan to shut off traffic from Sutton St and Mason's Avenue.
0:10:07 > 0:10:13- Ellison's has gone. - To make way for an underpass. - Working men don't come into it.
0:10:13 > 0:10:17It's all up to town planners, and landscapers.
0:10:17 > 0:10:21People like me are bulldozed aside in the name of progress.
0:10:21 > 0:10:27Ellison's went bankrupt before then. I got out before the crunch came.
0:10:27 > 0:10:32You're sensible. You were shrewd. Look how well you've done since.
0:10:32 > 0:10:38- Where DO you work?- Another company, another line.- What's its name?
0:10:38 > 0:10:44Well, Thelma's dad runs it. It's building and civil engineering.
0:10:44 > 0:10:49Oh, I see. How shrewd of you to get out before the crunch came!
0:10:49 > 0:10:56No wonder the engagement to Thelma is back on again. You might lose a job as well as a wife!
0:10:56 > 0:11:04- I pull my weight and work as hard as the next man.- Only the next man isn't marrying his daughter, is he?
0:11:04 > 0:11:11- Perhaps Bob could get YOU something, Terry.- I don't need strings pulled, I don't need the old pals act!
0:11:11 > 0:11:15It's not what you do, it's who you know.
0:11:15 > 0:11:20I can manage, thank you. One day... One day...
0:11:20 > 0:11:25- What?- He and Hughie McClaren will wash ashore on Whitley Bay sands,
0:11:25 > 0:11:28having crossed the sea on a tea tray.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33- Who's Hughie McClaren? - You don't know?!
0:11:33 > 0:11:38Hughie McClaren's a legend. He rode from Aden to Aldershot on a camel.
0:11:38 > 0:11:44He taught me there's more to life than a salary and superannuation,
0:11:44 > 0:11:46and an endowment policy at 55.
0:11:46 > 0:11:51Who'd want to go from Aden to Aldershot on a camel?
0:11:51 > 0:11:58- You're a qualified electrician. You'll get a job.- I can ask around. - I don't want any help from anybody.
0:11:58 > 0:12:06I've got ideas, ambitions and plans of my own, and getting a job round here doesn't fit into any of them.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08< KNOCK AT DOOR
0:12:08 > 0:12:10Come in.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13Oh, excuse me.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16- Is Mr Busby around?- Who wants him?
0:12:16 > 0:12:21The labour exchange sent me. You're looking for electricians, they said.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23I am?!
0:12:23 > 0:12:27- No, Mr Busby. - Mr Busby's not here at the moment.
0:12:27 > 0:12:31Oh, I see. Well, they said to come down this morning.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34They said, definitely, this morning.
0:12:34 > 0:12:39- Electricians, is it?- Aye, Mr Busby, they said, this morning.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41He didn't say anything.
0:12:41 > 0:12:45Mr Busby, JC Harvey, electrical contractors.
0:12:45 > 0:12:50You've got the right place, but he didn't say anything.
0:12:54 > 0:12:58- Well, should I come back? - Er... Just a minute.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14- His assistant will see you.- Right.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16In a moment.
0:13:25 > 0:13:31- Oooh. The damp's not half playing this up. - What's wrong with your leg, then?
0:13:31 > 0:13:35I never talk about it.
0:13:35 > 0:13:39- I've been overseas, you see.- Oh. - For a few years.
0:13:39 > 0:13:45There's been some change round here though. They pulled the Roxy down!
0:13:45 > 0:13:47The where?
0:13:47 > 0:13:50- The Roxy.- Roxy?
0:13:50 > 0:13:52The Roxy dance hall!
0:13:52 > 0:13:57Don't know it. You must have been away a long time.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59Yes, well, I have.
0:13:59 > 0:14:04I've been all around the world, seen lots of places, lots of people.
0:14:05 > 0:14:12Nothing like travel for broadening the mind, making you realise what life has to offer.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15So why are you here?
0:14:15 > 0:14:16BUZZER
0:14:16 > 0:14:19He'll see you now.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21Thank you.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29I'll be with you in a minute.
0:14:30 > 0:14:36- Terry! What on earth...? - Oh, well, er, I was...er, I was just passing by...
0:14:36 > 0:14:39I thought I'd pop in and say hello.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42Hello.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45Great. Do you want a cup of tea?
0:14:45 > 0:14:49Yes, great. I thought I'd pop in for a cup of tea.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52Hang on. Wendy!
0:14:52 > 0:14:56Can you rustle up two teas, and a biscuit for Mr Collier?
0:14:56 > 0:14:59Yes, Bob - er, Mr Ferris.
0:15:01 > 0:15:07- I can't take too long. I've got some applicant out there for a job.- Oh - a job?
0:15:07 > 0:15:15- Yes, a spark. Still, let him wait. People like us can't be rushed. - Suppose not.- Sparks are two-a-penny.
0:15:18 > 0:15:23I didn't know JC Harvey belonged to your future dad-in-law.
0:15:23 > 0:15:29- It's a subsidiary. There are four firms. - Do you normally interview people?
0:15:29 > 0:15:34No, it's Frank's job, Frank Busby, but he's out on a site.
0:15:34 > 0:15:38It makes a change. Drunk with power, eh? Sit down.
0:15:41 > 0:15:45You know we were talking the other day?
0:15:45 > 0:15:53I know you want change, but if you do feel you need something, I could always... Frank Busby could...
0:15:53 > 0:15:57Thanks very much, but nothing is further from my mind.
0:15:57 > 0:16:03Actually, I've made a decision. I'm not staying. You're the first to know.
0:16:03 > 0:16:08- I'm moving on.- Moving on? Where? - Where what?- Where?
0:16:08 > 0:16:10Where? Ah...
0:16:10 > 0:16:14Well, that's not quite been finalised yet.
0:16:14 > 0:16:19What I'll do is contact Hughie McClaren and play it by ear.
0:16:19 > 0:16:26- Are you sure about this? - It's not just a snap decision. - When are you leaving?- What?- When?
0:16:26 > 0:16:33When? Oh, well, this week, I should think. There's no point in hanging about, is there?
0:16:33 > 0:16:35I suppose not.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37You'll miss my wedding!
0:16:37 > 0:16:41I know, mate. Still, your in-laws won't be sorry.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43I will!
0:16:43 > 0:16:46I'll send a telegram, wherever I am.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49It'll be a bit pricey from Katmandu.
0:16:51 > 0:16:56- We won't have got THAT far by then. - But Katmandu IS on your itinerary?
0:16:56 > 0:17:00Possibly, possibly. It depends which route we take.
0:17:00 > 0:17:05- Route to where? - Well, that's not been finalised yet.
0:17:05 > 0:17:09You just got back, and now you're off!
0:17:09 > 0:17:14- I never knew you had so much Gipsy in your soul!- It's in the blood.
0:17:14 > 0:17:20Those five years gave me a taste for excitement, adventure and the unknown,
0:17:20 > 0:17:24a hint of mystery and danger - so I must join Hughie.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27- Where is he?- Berwick-on-Tweed.
0:17:28 > 0:17:36He's not a mercenary up the Congo?! There's not much mystery in Berwick. You can go there on a day trip!
0:17:36 > 0:17:42That's his home, you fool, where we'll plan things, and buy maps and stores.
0:17:42 > 0:17:47You'll set off for uncharted waters, seeking the source of the Tweed!
0:17:47 > 0:17:55- It's that sort of attitude that is driving me away.- I'm sorry. I don't want you to go away at all.
0:17:55 > 0:17:59- My mind's made up. - Well, if it is, fine, fine.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02All I can say is...good luck...
0:18:03 > 0:18:06- ..and God bless.- Well, cheers, mate.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08Cheers.
0:18:08 > 0:18:14- Congratulations.- What? - Having tea and shaking hands - you must've got the job!
0:18:18 > 0:18:23Sheer loss of face! It's his pride that's been hurt.
0:18:23 > 0:18:28- He didn't want to go in the first place.- Course not.- Loss of face!
0:18:28 > 0:18:33He's just seen how it's all changed, and how well you're doing, Bob,
0:18:33 > 0:18:35and his other friends.
0:18:35 > 0:18:42He feels left behind. All he's got is a broken marriage and a few Post Office savings.
0:18:42 > 0:18:47- And a tattoo on his left buttock. - Has he?
0:18:47 > 0:18:51- Aye!- So that's why he always locks the bathroom door.
0:18:51 > 0:18:56- A tattoo of what.- Something crude - a snake draped over a topless woman.
0:18:56 > 0:19:04I got a glimpse at the public baths. It was more dignified than that. It was a coat of arms, a crest.
0:19:04 > 0:19:08- Maybe it's his regimental badge. - It's stupid, anyway.
0:19:08 > 0:19:12Still, it's a distinguishing mark for Stuart Henry.
0:19:15 > 0:19:20Come here, Terry Collier. Nancy Ridley forgives you.
0:19:20 > 0:19:25- He hasn't disappeared. I had a letter from him.- A letter?
0:19:25 > 0:19:29It's to remind us we owe him £4 lawn-mowing charges.
0:19:29 > 0:19:33- Where's it from? Berwick? - There's an address there.
0:19:33 > 0:19:37When he was in the Army he never wrote.
0:19:37 > 0:19:42- He sent us a postcard from Cyprus. - To remind us he had a birthday soon.
0:19:42 > 0:19:48He doesn't mention meeting Hughie, or making plans, or anything.
0:19:48 > 0:19:53I bet he only sent his address so we'd write and beg him to come home.
0:19:53 > 0:20:01- I'll drive up and talk to him. It's up to me. I could maybe fetch him back.- The sooner the better.
0:20:01 > 0:20:07- Do you think so? - Aye. Well, we haven't got a baby-sitter for Friday night.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45- Yes?- Is a Mr Collier here, a Mr Terry Collier?
0:20:45 > 0:20:50- Aye, but he's not in just now. - When will he be back?
0:20:50 > 0:20:53High tea is at six. He'll not miss that.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55Thanks.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57You're welcome.
0:21:51 > 0:21:55- I think what you're doing is great! - What?- I really envy you.
0:21:55 > 0:22:00Don't patronise, Ferris. Envy what? Soaking wet feet and chapped hands?
0:22:00 > 0:22:04We don't wash them cars in Fairy Liquid!
0:22:04 > 0:22:08I DO envy you! What you're doing is so...together.
0:22:08 > 0:22:12It's the way to be these days. You're...easy-riding.
0:22:12 > 0:22:16It's taking off. It's getting straight. It's moving on.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19What? All I'm doing is wringing out.
0:22:19 > 0:22:23Elvis Presley worked in a car wash, in a song, anyway.
0:22:23 > 0:22:30It's the freedom, like American youth today. You don't want a home and a job.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33You wanna be trucking to New Mexico.
0:22:33 > 0:22:37"By the time I get to Phoenix", "24 hours to Tulsa"...
0:22:37 > 0:22:42All you need is a sleeping bag and a harmonica.
0:22:42 > 0:22:46- I don't play the harmonica. - You play Cousin Martin's accordion.
0:22:46 > 0:22:52- You won't fit an accordion AND me in a sleeping bag.- That's trivial!
0:22:52 > 0:22:58- Think of broader things. You could live in a commune.- Are you kidding?
0:22:58 > 0:23:05I'm not in New Mexico, I'm in Berwickshire. It's early closing, and the forecast says drizzle.
0:23:05 > 0:23:12It's OK in America, but it's different when you say, "By the time I get to Peebles",
0:23:12 > 0:23:15or, "I'm 24 hours from Falkirk"!
0:23:15 > 0:23:19- It's a state of mind. - Sorry to shatter your illusions.
0:23:19 > 0:23:25I won't give up my worldly goods to traipse around in a sleeping bag.
0:23:25 > 0:23:29I have no worldly goods to give up, and I hate camping.
0:23:29 > 0:23:36I'm not at the car wash as a tribute to Elvis, but to pay rent at a sweaty boarding house.
0:23:36 > 0:23:42It's worth the gesture. You made me think twice about being suffocated.
0:23:42 > 0:23:43You?!
0:23:43 > 0:23:46Do you think my life is exciting?
0:23:46 > 0:23:52Decorating, saving pennies, doing a dull correspondence course? Is that living?
0:23:52 > 0:23:57I yearn to see places I only read about in colour supplements,
0:23:57 > 0:24:00and meet girls from "Hawaii Five-0".
0:24:00 > 0:24:08- I thought you'd made up your mind. - I had, but you came back after five exciting years in foreign parts.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10They weren't THAT exciting, mate.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13Some of them were spent in Devizes.
0:24:13 > 0:24:19- It was different.- Look, Bob. The Army is hardly "Hawaii Five-O"!
0:24:19 > 0:24:24You made the break, and maybe it's time I did. What did Hughie say?
0:24:24 > 0:24:30Anything you like, you can do - WE can do. I'll cash in my savings, sell the car.
0:24:30 > 0:24:36I can't see Thelma up the Orinoco in a sleeping bag with 2.4 children.
0:24:36 > 0:24:41She must realise...a man has to do what a man has to do.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44Well, I know what I have to do.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47- What?- Get you back where you belong.
0:24:47 > 0:24:51- How much do I owe you, Hughie? - Just a minute, Terry.- Cheers, mate.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53Hughie?!
0:24:53 > 0:24:56Not...not THE Hughie?
0:24:56 > 0:24:58Aye.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00Not THE Hughie McClaren?
0:25:00 > 0:25:05- In person.- What's he doing here? - This is where I found him.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08He married his childhood sweetheart.
0:25:08 > 0:25:16He's got a mortgage on this place. If he works every day for 33 years, he'll have paid off the tea urn.
0:25:18 > 0:25:25Fancy coming round later for toad-in-the-hole, and a wee game of monopoly?
0:25:26 > 0:25:28It's very, very tempting, Hughie,
0:25:28 > 0:25:31but we're moving on.
0:25:33 > 0:25:38- Nothing on the box, Terry?- Later on. - There's plenty of beer in the fridge.
0:25:38 > 0:25:45- Haven't seen a cuff-link, have you? - No, mate.- Supper's in the oven. Are you OK now?
0:25:45 > 0:25:50Yes, thanks, Ernie. It's nice to be in a comfy chair and a warm house.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53We were SO worried when you went off.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55Were you, mate?
0:25:55 > 0:25:59Aye. We'd have had no sitter for tonight!
0:25:59 > 0:26:03Check the kids are asleep, but if Wayne wakes up, be firm.
0:26:03 > 0:26:08- Don't bribe him with chocolates like you did before.- I can manage.
0:26:08 > 0:26:12- DOORBELL RINGS - That'll be Bob. Let him in, love!
0:26:12 > 0:26:19- When the tinger goes, take the foil off and brown it for five minutes. - Thanks, flower.
0:26:19 > 0:26:24- You look smashing!- I wish I felt it. I'm in such a rush.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27I got you half a bottle of vodka.
0:26:27 > 0:26:32- You're all being very nice tonight. - Well, it's good to see you back.
0:26:32 > 0:26:39- I'll get some glasses. - Terry, about that job... Mr Busby still needs an electrician.
0:26:39 > 0:26:45I told him you were the best. There is overtime and you'll get holidays.
0:26:45 > 0:26:49Pop round and see him tomorrow... about it.
0:26:49 > 0:26:55You never give up. Worrying about my welfare, making assumptions.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57What have I said?
0:26:57 > 0:27:02So I'm back home. It doesn't alter certain fundamental principles.
0:27:02 > 0:27:08I didn't spend years of sweat and toil in distant corners of the globe
0:27:08 > 0:27:12just to work for a tinpot builder as a sparks,
0:27:12 > 0:27:17with you prancing about, flaunting your status and your slide rule.
0:27:17 > 0:27:20You ungrateful pig!
0:27:20 > 0:27:27I risked my reputation recommending you, knowing you might screw it up and embarrass me.
0:27:27 > 0:27:34Never again will I raise a finger to rescue you from a Scottish car wash. I wash my hands of you.
0:27:34 > 0:27:40Spend your life baby-sitting, or join the dole queue - I DON'T CARE!
0:27:42 > 0:27:45He left his vodka.
0:27:50 > 0:27:58Well! Ever since I've known him I've never seen Bob like that, so worked up. Why was he so angry?
0:27:58 > 0:28:01Because he loves me.
