0:00:02 > 0:00:06This programme contains very strong language

0:00:06 > 0:00:10This programme contains adult humour

0:00:10 > 0:00:13The most important thing for you kids to know is that this divorce is not your fault.

0:00:13 > 0:00:15Agreed. It's definitely not your fault.

0:00:15 > 0:00:18- Whose fault is it then? - Doesn't have to be anyone's fault, you know?

0:00:18 > 0:00:20I just want to know who to blame for ruining my life.

0:00:20 > 0:00:22I mean what if a mum - or let's say a dad - had an affair -

0:00:22 > 0:00:24would the divorce be all their fault?

0:00:24 > 0:00:27- No.- Yes! It bloody well would! - Do not be bitter in front of the children, remember?- Sorry.

0:00:27 > 0:00:30Look, sweetheart, there are loads of reasons why couples break up.

0:00:30 > 0:00:32Yeah, just not in this case.

0:00:32 > 0:00:35I'm not a mug, Dad. I've had enough of your crap.

0:00:36 > 0:00:38Robbie. You all right, mate?

0:00:40 > 0:00:44Rob, it's really important, babe, that you share all of your feelings

0:00:44 > 0:00:46in regards to the break-up of your family.

0:00:46 > 0:00:47Tell him, Vincent.

0:00:47 > 0:00:50Do you know what I think would make you feel a lot better

0:00:50 > 0:00:54about this divorce? How about an Atari games console?

0:00:54 > 0:00:57Oh, yes, please! Skills!

0:00:57 > 0:00:59The book says not to bribe.

0:00:59 > 0:01:00Books are overrated.

0:01:01 > 0:01:03I feel better now. Thanks, Dad.

0:01:03 > 0:01:05Right, well, I shall be on my way.

0:01:05 > 0:01:08Why do you always have to be such an arsehole?

0:01:08 > 0:01:11Because without arseholes, Samantha, shit would never get done.

0:01:18 > 0:01:20Sometimes when a Mum and a Dad fall out of love,

0:01:20 > 0:01:23it's better for everyone if they stop being husband and wife

0:01:23 > 0:01:24and start living in different houses.

0:01:24 > 0:01:27Which is why I now live in a flat Ronnie Farrell used to rent out

0:01:27 > 0:01:29to a dominatrix.

0:01:30 > 0:01:33BUZZER

0:01:37 > 0:01:38Hello.

0:01:38 > 0:01:40Is Mistress Trixie available?

0:01:40 > 0:01:43Mistress Trixie doesn't live here any more, all right.

0:01:43 > 0:01:44Oh, OK. Who does then?

0:01:44 > 0:01:46Look, mate, I'm really not in the mood for this.

0:01:46 > 0:01:48- Why not?- Why not?!

0:01:48 > 0:01:50Because I'm getting divorced.

0:01:50 > 0:01:52Because I owe the taxman 50 fucking grand.

0:01:52 > 0:01:55Because I've gone from being salesman of the century

0:01:55 > 0:01:57to a schlub who can't sell shit.

0:01:57 > 0:02:00But mainly because I spend my entire fucking life on this phone

0:02:00 > 0:02:01talking to perverts like you.

0:02:01 > 0:02:04I'm sorry, sounds like you've got a lot on your plate.

0:02:04 > 0:02:07You don't fancy 20 quid and let me fuck you hard up the arse, do ya?

0:02:07 > 0:02:10Come on, mate, have some fucking decency, yes?

0:02:10 > 0:02:12- Tenner for a blowjob? - I'm hanging up.

0:02:20 > 0:02:22ANSWERING MACHINE BEEPS

0:02:22 > 0:02:25You have two new messages.

0:02:25 > 0:02:28'Oh, hello, Mr Swan. My name's Emma Lyndsey.

0:02:28 > 0:02:32'My neighbours have been complaining about the cries of passion

0:02:32 > 0:02:35'and ecstasy coming from my bedroom, so I was hoping you could pop over

0:02:35 > 0:02:37'and soundproof my windows.'

0:02:37 > 0:02:42A double glazing-based sex fantasy. She's a keeper.

0:02:42 > 0:02:46'Mr Swan. It's Abigail Barnes, your favourite government employee here.

0:02:46 > 0:02:50'Just a call to let you know we've fixed a date for your case hearing.

0:02:50 > 0:02:52'May 29th.

0:02:52 > 0:02:54'So that's a whole six weeks to come up with £50,000.'

0:02:54 > 0:02:57- Fuck. Fucking fuck! - 'Have a nice day.'

0:02:58 > 0:02:59BUZZER

0:03:02 > 0:03:03What now?

0:03:03 > 0:03:07Vincent? It's Brian. Can I come up?

0:03:10 > 0:03:11This place is nice.

0:03:11 > 0:03:14Let's cut the small talk bollocks. Why are you here?

0:03:14 > 0:03:17Look, I just came round to try and make things right between us.

0:03:17 > 0:03:20And before you say anything, I'm not trying to get my job back.

0:03:20 > 0:03:23Good, because you're not fucking getting it back. Ever.

0:03:23 > 0:03:24Like I said, just...

0:03:24 > 0:03:29came to apologise and hopefully in time you'll be able to forgive me.

0:03:29 > 0:03:31So...

0:03:31 > 0:03:33thanks for listening.

0:03:33 > 0:03:36Right. Well, off you fuck then.

0:03:36 > 0:03:39Right.

0:03:39 > 0:03:41Oh, there was one more thing,

0:03:41 > 0:03:44would it be all right if I pop by the showroom, just to pick up

0:03:44 > 0:03:47a few bits and pieces, say goodbye to the team properly?

0:03:47 > 0:03:50No-one gives a shit about you but it's a free country.

0:03:50 > 0:03:53Thanks, Vincent.

0:03:53 > 0:03:56Good night mate, ah...

0:03:56 > 0:04:01With its haunting aroma of stale sex and 24-hour pervert hotline,

0:04:01 > 0:04:04Trixie's flat felt like purgatory. I had to get out.

0:04:07 > 0:04:09It was so bad that even a sofa that smelt of Walshy's

0:04:09 > 0:04:10arse-crack felt like an upgrade.

0:04:16 > 0:04:19Hello? Hello?

0:04:19 > 0:04:21Shit! Fucking Walshy.

0:04:21 > 0:04:23Hello?

0:04:23 > 0:04:26I'm coming up. I warn you!

0:04:26 > 0:04:28I'm armed!

0:04:32 > 0:04:35I guess I could've told Walshy I was sleeping in the office

0:04:35 > 0:04:37but if you're about to tap someone up for 50 grand,

0:04:37 > 0:04:40it's probably best not to do it in last night's piss stained Y-fronts.

0:04:42 > 0:04:44Fucking hell, Vincent! You could knock...

0:04:44 > 0:04:47Sorry, Mum, but before you send me to my room, I'm getting straight to the point.

0:04:47 > 0:04:49It's about time you made me a partner.

0:04:49 > 0:04:51And don't give me any grief, all right.

0:04:51 > 0:04:52I've already made you a mint.

0:04:52 > 0:04:55- No, no, I think you being a partner's a great idea.- Yeah?

0:04:55 > 0:04:57Too right. Have a seat.

0:04:57 > 0:05:00I've been looking for someone to invest in the business.

0:05:00 > 0:05:03How much were you thinking of putting in?

0:05:03 > 0:05:06More like what I was looking to take out. Namely, me.

0:05:06 > 0:05:08See, I was thinking to keep me motivated

0:05:08 > 0:05:10for the foreseeable future,

0:05:10 > 0:05:13the business could invest in me to the tune of 50 grand.

0:05:13 > 0:05:14How does that sound?

0:05:14 > 0:05:18Un-fucking likely. You're not going to quit and we both know it.

0:05:18 > 0:05:20What we both do know is without me you'd have lost

0:05:20 > 0:05:22that disgusting shirt on your hairy fucking back by now.

0:05:22 > 0:05:25That was before your recent personal problems.

0:05:25 > 0:05:27You ain't selling shit at the moment, boy.

0:05:27 > 0:05:29Sales have dipped, granted,

0:05:29 > 0:05:33but that's more due to a downturn in consumer confidence,

0:05:33 > 0:05:34- market forces.- Yeah, yeah, yeah.

0:05:34 > 0:05:36You tell yourself whatever bollocks you like,

0:05:36 > 0:05:40bottom line is our consumers have lost confidence in you.

0:05:40 > 0:05:43So unless you start selling windows for me,

0:05:43 > 0:05:48the only thing you'll get from me is a fucking P-45!

0:05:48 > 0:05:51Now, are we done here?

0:05:51 > 0:05:53I need a shit.

0:05:55 > 0:05:58How come you look so fucking cheerful?

0:05:58 > 0:06:00Guess who just reeled in a big one?

0:06:00 > 0:06:02Congrats, mate.

0:06:02 > 0:06:04What was it, your first conservatory?

0:06:04 > 0:06:07Bit bigger, and smells of piss more.

0:06:07 > 0:06:08You've lost me.

0:06:08 > 0:06:11I've just landed us the contract for the refurbishment

0:06:11 > 0:06:13of the old people's home on Wickford Road.

0:06:13 > 0:06:16Fucking 42 windows and 12 doors.

0:06:16 > 0:06:18This old mate of mine from Chelmsford Grammar

0:06:18 > 0:06:21works for the council and he made sure the order came our way.

0:06:21 > 0:06:22Fuck me. That's incredible news.

0:06:22 > 0:06:26If this goes well we could end up on the council's list of approved suppliers.

0:06:26 > 0:06:28I'll go give Walshy the glad tidings.

0:06:28 > 0:06:29Hold your horses.

0:06:29 > 0:06:31Now, congrats on the Old Girls network coming through,

0:06:31 > 0:06:34but strictly speaking this is a commercial deal,

0:06:34 > 0:06:37and as such it has to go through the commercial sales arm.

0:06:37 > 0:06:40What? What fucking commercial sales arm?!

0:06:40 > 0:06:43No-one's ever mentioned a commercial sales arm.

0:06:43 > 0:06:46Vincent Swan, head of commercial sales at your service.

0:06:46 > 0:06:50Now, don't worry, I'll make sure you get a nice finders bonus.

0:06:50 > 0:06:52I'd better go give Walshy the glad tidings.

0:06:52 > 0:06:54And look, mate, I'm sorry, I don't make the rules.

0:06:56 > 0:06:58I know, I do make the rules.

0:06:58 > 0:07:00And that was a dick move. Even for me.

0:07:00 > 0:07:05Walshy! Stop tugging on that pencil dick and prepare to be happy.

0:07:07 > 0:07:08Hello, Millman Young.

0:07:08 > 0:07:11Hi, it's Sam Swan. I've got a meeting with Little Prick.

0:07:11 > 0:07:13I mean, Andrew Davis.

0:07:13 > 0:07:15Sorry, was that Andrew Davis?

0:07:15 > 0:07:17Yeah, Andrew Davis

0:07:17 > 0:07:21- Come in.- OK.

0:07:21 > 0:07:22Are you sure you should be here?

0:07:22 > 0:07:25I told you, Vincent and I had a little sit down, cleared the air.

0:07:25 > 0:07:27Now take a seat, Carol.

0:07:27 > 0:07:31In fact, Vincent practically begged me to come by

0:07:31 > 0:07:34and share with you my life-changing news.

0:07:34 > 0:07:35And I know you'll be amazed.

0:07:35 > 0:07:38Please be a sex change.

0:07:38 > 0:07:41Actually, no, this is better.

0:07:41 > 0:07:45My name is Brian Fitzpatrick and I used to be morbidly obese.

0:07:45 > 0:07:48- No, you didn't.- Can I just finish the presentation,

0:07:48 > 0:07:49I'll answer questions afterwards?

0:07:49 > 0:07:54I'm ashamed to say that before you knew me I used to be a fat fuck,

0:07:54 > 0:07:59as you can see from this picture of me as a teenager.

0:07:59 > 0:08:01Oh, my God! You've lost so much weight.

0:08:01 > 0:08:02That's incredible!

0:08:02 > 0:08:04And grown a different face. That is incredible.

0:08:04 > 0:08:06Can I have a closer look?

0:08:06 > 0:08:09I think you'll find, Carol, that most of the Nature-Burn Community

0:08:09 > 0:08:11are unrecognisable once they lose the weight.

0:08:11 > 0:08:13You see, it's thanks to Nature-Burn's

0:08:13 > 0:08:16supply of vitamin supplements and diet pills

0:08:16 > 0:08:19that I became the slender man I am today.

0:08:19 > 0:08:20And always have been.

0:08:20 > 0:08:23Well, look, here's a little advance on your commission.

0:08:23 > 0:08:25That should keep the taxman off your back for a bit.

0:08:25 > 0:08:28Well done to Cachet's Head Of Commercial Sales!

0:08:29 > 0:08:30Who?

0:08:30 > 0:08:32What the fuck is going on, Brian?

0:08:32 > 0:08:35Well, I just popped by to pick up a few things and then the guys

0:08:35 > 0:08:38started peppering me with questions about my new business venture.

0:08:38 > 0:08:40No, you said Vincent was begging you to tell us all

0:08:40 > 0:08:42about your life-changing news.

0:08:42 > 0:08:44I think what we need to focus on here

0:08:44 > 0:08:46is that I have life-changing news.

0:08:46 > 0:08:47I've had enough of this place.

0:08:47 > 0:08:49Hang on, I was just about tell you Nature-Burn's...

0:08:49 > 0:08:51Shove your diet pills up your arse.

0:08:51 > 0:08:54Well, unfortunately Nature-Burn don't do suppositories,

0:08:54 > 0:08:57but soon as they do, I'll happily shove them up my arse.

0:08:57 > 0:09:00Martin, mate, hold up, let me buy you a pint.

0:09:00 > 0:09:03So, these diet pills work then? How much you charging?

0:09:03 > 0:09:05£30 for a month's supply.

0:09:05 > 0:09:09But I am running a one week's free trial to get people hooked...

0:09:09 > 0:09:12I mean, to get them on the road to a healthier lifestyle.

0:09:12 > 0:09:15I'm prepared to make that exclusive one-time offer

0:09:15 > 0:09:17exclusively to you, Tony.

0:09:17 > 0:09:19What about me?

0:09:19 > 0:09:22Well, I'm prepared to make that exclusive one-time offer

0:09:22 > 0:09:24exclusively to you as well, Carol.

0:09:24 > 0:09:25Oh.

0:09:27 > 0:09:28Thank you.

0:09:28 > 0:09:31And one for you. We're celebrating.

0:09:31 > 0:09:33Seriously, if you've just followed me here to wind me up...

0:09:33 > 0:09:34No, it's not like that.

0:09:34 > 0:09:37I told you, I'm going to make sure you get your cut from this deal.

0:09:37 > 0:09:39Just has to go through the right channels first.

0:09:39 > 0:09:41The right channel being your back pocket?

0:09:41 > 0:09:43No, mate, it's not like...

0:09:43 > 0:09:45You've got to be shitting me!

0:09:45 > 0:09:46Congratulations, Sam.

0:09:46 > 0:09:49If you thought going on a date with Essex's answer to Jimmy Krankie

0:09:49 > 0:09:51would wind me up, you were right.

0:09:51 > 0:09:54Now, now, Vincent. This isn't a date as such.

0:09:54 > 0:09:57I'm happy to say I've just hired Sam as my new PA

0:09:57 > 0:10:00and this is a working lunch. We're talking about her new duties.

0:10:00 > 0:10:02Yeah, well, she doesn't need a fucking job

0:10:02 > 0:10:03so I suggest you look elsewhere!

0:10:03 > 0:10:05Er, pipe down, Tarzan.

0:10:05 > 0:10:07I'll be the one deciding if I need a job.

0:10:07 > 0:10:09I can provide for my family, Sam.

0:10:09 > 0:10:13Sorry about this, Andrew. I just need a minute, is that all right?

0:10:17 > 0:10:19If you're such a great fucking provider

0:10:19 > 0:10:21then why did the building society call to say

0:10:21 > 0:10:24- that we're behind on the mortgage? - I'm sorting it.

0:10:24 > 0:10:25Save me the bullshit, Vincent.

0:10:25 > 0:10:28You're not capable of sorting anything right now.

0:10:28 > 0:10:32So please fuck off before I lose the only source of income for my family.

0:10:35 > 0:10:37Sorry about that.

0:10:37 > 0:10:40We are not skint. Give that to the fucking building society!

0:10:40 > 0:10:43I think they might prefer a cheque or a standing order, old chap.

0:10:43 > 0:10:44Try and save some of that money, yeah?

0:10:44 > 0:10:46You've got Robbie for the day tomorrow

0:10:46 > 0:10:48and you'll need to buy him something for his tea.

0:10:52 > 0:10:54- Vincent? - Yes, I know! I stole your deal, OK?

0:10:54 > 0:10:56But I also said I would see you right,

0:10:56 > 0:11:00like I have done these previous ten months while you've sold jack shit,

0:11:00 > 0:11:04so please, stop fucking crying about it. Here.

0:11:09 > 0:11:12That husband of yours is tremendously entertaining.

0:11:19 > 0:11:21Oi, shithead.

0:11:21 > 0:11:23Those diet pills you're flogging.

0:11:23 > 0:11:25They're basically just speed, right?

0:11:25 > 0:11:28No way. I don't care what Esther fucking Rantzen said

0:11:28 > 0:11:32on That's Life, these are bona fide health supplements,

0:11:32 > 0:11:34not re-packaged Purple Hearts.

0:11:34 > 0:11:35Well, I'm not buying any then.

0:11:35 > 0:11:36No, no, no, no, wait, hang on.

0:11:38 > 0:11:41All right, yeah, they're speed, but they're 100% pure

0:11:41 > 0:11:42and they're good shit.

0:11:42 > 0:11:44Trust me, you'll be flying.

0:11:46 > 0:11:49And boy did I need something to bring the old Vincent Swan mojo back.

0:11:49 > 0:11:51My whole shitting world was falling apart.

0:11:51 > 0:11:53And it wasn't only Walshy and Little Prick taking advantage

0:11:53 > 0:11:55of my recent dip in performance.

0:11:55 > 0:11:56CAR HORN

0:11:56 > 0:11:57ENGINE REVS

0:11:57 > 0:11:59Brrm, brrm, mate!

0:11:59 > 0:12:01Fuck. Things are worse than I thought.

0:12:01 > 0:12:03Usually these zit-faced little fuckers would rue the day

0:12:03 > 0:12:05they yanked my chain. Not now.

0:12:05 > 0:12:08Shit, they can literally smell the weakness pouring out of me.

0:12:21 > 0:12:23Mr Burglar?

0:12:23 > 0:12:25Fuck.

0:12:25 > 0:12:27Show yourself.

0:12:29 > 0:12:32Come out whoever you are.

0:12:32 > 0:12:33Hello?

0:12:33 > 0:12:37Who's that?

0:12:37 > 0:12:38Morning, Carol.

0:12:38 > 0:12:39Jesus Christ.

0:12:39 > 0:12:42Almost. It's me. You all right?

0:12:42 > 0:12:45You scared the shit out of me.

0:12:45 > 0:12:47The lights have just turned themselves off.

0:12:47 > 0:12:49- Must be the poltergeist. - The what?

0:12:49 > 0:12:52Same thing happened to Walshy yesterday. The showroom's haunted.

0:12:52 > 0:12:54It definitely smells like something died in here.

0:12:54 > 0:12:57Sorry about that. Dodgy tum.

0:12:57 > 0:12:59I think it's those diet pills.

0:12:59 > 0:13:01Or maybe this place really is haunted.

0:13:01 > 0:13:03Spirits, send us a sign.

0:13:03 > 0:13:05- Don't... - PHONE RINGS

0:13:09 > 0:13:13Hello? Yeah, this is Carol.

0:13:13 > 0:13:17Oh, thank God, I thought you were a poltergeist.

0:13:17 > 0:13:21Never mind. Yeah, he's here. One second.

0:13:21 > 0:13:23It's Sam. Really angry.

0:13:23 > 0:13:25Shit. Robbie! Tell her I'm on my way.

0:13:25 > 0:13:27Meanwhile recent events had driven Lavender

0:13:27 > 0:13:29back into the arms of an old flame.

0:13:29 > 0:13:32Very good, so you were in Paul Young's band

0:13:32 > 0:13:34just before he made it big?

0:13:34 > 0:13:39Yeah. No, commercial success didn't really appeal to me.

0:13:39 > 0:13:42Well, here in Ben Billing's band we're all about the music.

0:13:42 > 0:13:44Now our bassist has broken his arm,

0:13:44 > 0:13:47and we need a replacement for tonight's warm-up gig.

0:13:47 > 0:13:49Then, and I don't know if you're up for this,

0:13:49 > 0:13:53we're going to be heading up north to tour to support the miners.

0:13:53 > 0:13:56Love supporting the miners. "Support The Miners!"

0:13:57 > 0:14:00I could well be interested in coming on the tour, thank you.

0:14:00 > 0:14:01Are you sure?

0:14:01 > 0:14:05Because it's a very long commitment, and I'll be straight with you,

0:14:05 > 0:14:08last couple of gigs we've had some unwelcome attention

0:14:08 > 0:14:09from National Front thugs.

0:14:09 > 0:14:13Sure. I am done working for The Man.

0:14:13 > 0:14:15I mean, I've probably got to give The Man

0:14:15 > 0:14:18a couple of weeks' notice, but after that I'm ready to quit

0:14:18 > 0:14:20this town and get back on the fucking road.

0:14:20 > 0:14:24Not to mention get back on the booze and the drugs and the groupies!

0:14:24 > 0:14:26Well, I'm sober these days.

0:14:26 > 0:14:28Yeah, I'm more hopped up on the notion

0:14:28 > 0:14:30of trying to change shit politically through music.

0:14:31 > 0:14:34Yeah. Me too. That's what I meant.

0:14:34 > 0:14:35Glad to hear it, comrade.

0:14:35 > 0:14:38Your bloody pills are making me feel like shit.

0:14:38 > 0:14:40Me too.

0:14:40 > 0:14:43Can't be the pills. They've been scientifically tested.

0:14:43 > 0:14:45By scientists.

0:14:45 > 0:14:47Maybe it's the showroom poltergeist?

0:14:47 > 0:14:50It's not a ghost, Carol, it's his shitty pills.

0:14:50 > 0:14:51What's this low-life doing here?

0:14:51 > 0:14:53Haven't you got a job or a park bench to get to?

0:14:53 > 0:14:55This is my job. Thank you very much.

0:14:55 > 0:14:58First client progress session, the daily weigh-in.

0:14:58 > 0:15:00As soon as we're done, I'll be out of your hair.

0:15:00 > 0:15:02We are done, mate.

0:15:02 > 0:15:04I don't need a weigh-in to tell me I've lost 2st because

0:15:04 > 0:15:08that's how much shit has flown out of my arse in the past 24 hours!

0:15:08 > 0:15:11All right, let's keep things civil.

0:15:11 > 0:15:13You don't have to take the pills, Tony.

0:15:13 > 0:15:14They're a free trial,

0:15:14 > 0:15:18although you should know that there might be some withdrawal symptoms.

0:15:18 > 0:15:19What kind of fucking symptoms?

0:15:19 > 0:15:21Shakes, headaches,

0:15:21 > 0:15:24a few of the old suicidal thoughts.

0:15:24 > 0:15:27Should only last a couple of days. Week tops.

0:15:27 > 0:15:29OK. Walshy, a quick word?

0:15:29 > 0:15:30Before you top yourself, can you forward me

0:15:30 > 0:15:33the rest of the commission on the retirement home?

0:15:33 > 0:15:35Until the ink is dry on the contract Vincent,

0:15:35 > 0:15:39you've got two chances - no chance, and no fucking chance.

0:15:39 > 0:15:42Now, would you all excuse me, please? I need a poo.

0:15:44 > 0:15:45All right, Carol, where's Lavender?

0:15:45 > 0:15:48I need him to get the contract signed by his bum-chum down at the council.

0:15:48 > 0:15:51- He's at the dentist all morning. - I'll do it myself.

0:15:51 > 0:15:53Can you watch Robbie for a few hours?

0:15:53 > 0:15:56No can do. I'm meeting a white witch this afternoon.

0:15:56 > 0:15:57Course you are.

0:15:57 > 0:15:59I can do it. I'm doing fuck all.

0:15:59 > 0:16:04I mean, I could probably move a few clients around, make some space.

0:16:04 > 0:16:05Really?

0:16:05 > 0:16:06Tenner.

0:16:06 > 0:16:07Christ.

0:16:07 > 0:16:09All right.

0:16:12 > 0:16:14Look, Uncle Brian is going to keep an eye on you

0:16:14 > 0:16:16for a couple of hours, all right?

0:16:16 > 0:16:18What! I knew today was going to be boring.

0:16:18 > 0:16:21Listen, my number one son, you'll get to spend some quality

0:16:21 > 0:16:24time with Daddy, straight after Daddy gets back from closing

0:16:24 > 0:16:26a big fucking deal with the man from the council.

0:16:26 > 0:16:29Those Ataris don't grow on trees, you know.

0:16:30 > 0:16:33For the next hour, I'm going to forget my life's a shit-show

0:16:33 > 0:16:36and seal this fucking deal using the old Vincent Swan magic.

0:16:37 > 0:16:40First, I just might need some help from our old purple friends.

0:16:43 > 0:16:44It's show-time, folks!

0:16:49 > 0:16:51I've been waiting two fucking hours!

0:16:51 > 0:16:53Two fucking hours!

0:16:53 > 0:16:56I told you, Mr Swan, you haven't booked an appointment.

0:16:56 > 0:16:58Mr Osbourne is a busy man.

0:16:58 > 0:16:59- DOOR OPENS - Mr Swan?

0:16:59 > 0:17:03Rick Osbourne? Vincent Swan, Cachet Windows Head Of Commercial Sales.

0:17:03 > 0:17:04I'm Martin Lavender's boss.

0:17:04 > 0:17:06Sorry to barge in on you like this.

0:17:06 > 0:17:08Really? Martin works for you?

0:17:08 > 0:17:11Yeah. I see myself more as a mentor, a father figure.

0:17:11 > 0:17:14Right, well, I'm actually on my way to another meeting right now

0:17:14 > 0:17:16so if you want to fix up an appointment with Sarah,

0:17:16 > 0:17:18we'll discuss this another time, OK?

0:17:18 > 0:17:20Rick, I'll skip the foreplay and jump straight

0:17:20 > 0:17:21into the penetration then.

0:17:21 > 0:17:24We are very happy to be supplying windows to the old people's home

0:17:24 > 0:17:26but in order cut the lead-time we need to get the contract signed

0:17:26 > 0:17:28and the deposit paid.

0:17:28 > 0:17:30As I said, Mr Swan, talk to Sarah about an appointment.

0:17:30 > 0:17:33- There's no hurry.- No, no, no, there is a big fucking hurry indeed.

0:17:33 > 0:17:37Look, I have the contract here, so if you fancy signing it.

0:17:37 > 0:17:39Sorry, mate. Sweating like a pig.

0:17:41 > 0:17:44All right. I was dreading telling Martin this,

0:17:44 > 0:17:47but it's actually going to be a lot of fun telling you.

0:17:47 > 0:17:50There was an emergency council budget meeting last night.

0:17:50 > 0:17:52The bloodsuckers on the council finally got their way.

0:17:52 > 0:17:55We're closing the retirement home.

0:17:55 > 0:17:59Makes more fiscal sense selling the land to a supermarket chain.

0:18:00 > 0:18:02So the deal's off, I'm afraid.

0:18:03 > 0:18:05Fuck.

0:18:05 > 0:18:06Well, that's tragic.

0:18:06 > 0:18:08I know. The poor residents are being relocated

0:18:08 > 0:18:10to a council facility 17 miles away.

0:18:10 > 0:18:13Fuck them, Rick. They're nearly dead. I'm 31!

0:18:13 > 0:18:15How am I going to pay my mortgage?

0:18:15 > 0:18:17You got any other high-end commercial deals

0:18:17 > 0:18:19you want to sling Lavender's way?

0:18:19 > 0:18:22Eh? Rick? Please. Oh, come on, mate.

0:18:22 > 0:18:24The choice was simple,

0:18:24 > 0:18:28either sell the Swan family home or spend my 30s in debtors' prison.

0:18:28 > 0:18:30The way I saw it, they could always get rehoused,

0:18:30 > 0:18:33whereas I wouldn't be able to get a new arsehole.

0:18:33 > 0:18:35Sarah, love, who do I have to sleep with around here

0:18:35 > 0:18:37to jump the waiting list for a council house?

0:18:37 > 0:18:40The mark-up on these, it's incredible.

0:18:40 > 0:18:42What are you doing here?

0:18:42 > 0:18:45I'm just baby-sitting young Robbie here.

0:18:45 > 0:18:46We've had a right laugh, haven't we, Robbie?

0:18:46 > 0:18:49Uncle Fitzpatrick says I'm a bit on the chubby side

0:18:49 > 0:18:51so he gave me some of these.

0:18:51 > 0:18:52As a gift.

0:18:52 > 0:18:54You can explain that to his mum.

0:19:00 > 0:19:02Nice wheels.

0:19:02 > 0:19:04You're funny.

0:19:04 > 0:19:06No, no, I'm serious. I always wanted a Chopper.

0:19:06 > 0:19:11Ape-hanger handle-bars and the old suicide clutch. It's a classic.

0:19:11 > 0:19:15Yeah, well, we're a bit short of cash so I had to sell my car...

0:19:15 > 0:19:18so, yeah, that's embarrassing.

0:19:18 > 0:19:20Come on. I'll drive you guys home.

0:19:20 > 0:19:24Or, better still, you drive you guys home

0:19:24 > 0:19:26and I'll take the Chopper.

0:19:26 > 0:19:27All right.

0:19:31 > 0:19:33He's mental.

0:19:33 > 0:19:34He is!

0:19:34 > 0:19:36- A nutter. - What is he doing?

0:19:36 > 0:19:38Honestly.

0:19:40 > 0:19:41What the fuck have you done, Vincent?

0:19:44 > 0:19:46Oh, God!

0:19:52 > 0:19:54Are you all right?

0:19:54 > 0:19:58Oh, no. I think the suicide clutch has mangled my scrotum.

0:19:58 > 0:20:00Oh, God, I'm sorry!

0:20:05 > 0:20:07Why is the house for sale?

0:20:07 > 0:20:09Just come inside.

0:20:09 > 0:20:12I just wish that ball-bag Vincent could have told me about this first.

0:20:12 > 0:20:16Could we leave ball-bags out the conversation for now, please?

0:20:17 > 0:20:20Thank you. I've not had much to laugh about lately.

0:20:21 > 0:20:24I'm glad my testicles could bring you some pleasure.

0:20:24 > 0:20:26Who said chivalry was dead, eh?

0:20:26 > 0:20:28Well, if you fancied a laugh that doesn't involve me

0:20:28 > 0:20:32being neutered, you're welcome to come to the left-wing agit rock gig

0:20:32 > 0:20:34I'm playing in support of the miners tonight.

0:20:34 > 0:20:38Whoa! Well, I mean, how could I resist?

0:20:38 > 0:20:41The best thing about having an affair with a 23-year-old

0:20:41 > 0:20:42is that whatever the problem...

0:20:42 > 0:20:43Vincent?

0:20:43 > 0:20:45..sex is always the answer.

0:20:45 > 0:20:48# Sweet dreams are made of this

0:20:48 > 0:20:52# Who am I to disagree?

0:20:52 > 0:20:56# I travel the world and the seven seas

0:20:56 > 0:21:00# Everybody's looking for something... #

0:21:02 > 0:21:04Why my Dad is going to hell,

0:21:04 > 0:21:06to hell, to hell...

0:21:06 > 0:21:07Good boy, Robbie.

0:21:07 > 0:21:09Don't call me Robbie!

0:21:09 > 0:21:11I didn't call you Robbie.

0:21:11 > 0:21:12Yes, you fucking did.

0:21:12 > 0:21:14What are you doing?

0:21:14 > 0:21:16Checking if my hands are pulsating. Fucking pills!

0:21:16 > 0:21:19Oh, shit, I forgot about Robbie.

0:21:19 > 0:21:23Thank you. Thanks very much.

0:21:23 > 0:21:25While I was ODing on sex and drugs,

0:21:25 > 0:21:28Lavender was rekindling his rock and roll addiction.

0:21:28 > 0:21:29Well done!

0:21:29 > 0:21:31That was a lot of fun.

0:21:31 > 0:21:34I like to think it's a bit more important than that, Martin.

0:21:34 > 0:21:38Yeah, of course, yeah. I was just being an idiot.

0:21:38 > 0:21:41- Yeah. - I thought it was a lot of fun too.

0:21:41 > 0:21:43Sorry for enjoying myself.

0:21:43 > 0:21:45This is Sam. She's, erm... She's just kidding.

0:21:45 > 0:21:47Well, the thing is, Sam,

0:21:47 > 0:21:50I remember when this was a working-class town that would

0:21:50 > 0:21:52have found common cause with the striking miners.

0:21:52 > 0:21:54Now it's all Thatcher's fucking children,

0:21:54 > 0:21:56buying their own council houses,

0:21:56 > 0:21:59bankrupting themselves with flash cars and shitty double-glazing.

0:21:59 > 0:22:03So I hope tonight wasn't so much fun as it was

0:22:03 > 0:22:06a much-needed lesson in social responsibility.

0:22:06 > 0:22:10And is it socially responsible to define people politically

0:22:10 > 0:22:11by what they buy?

0:22:11 > 0:22:13Because I think it's socially irresponsible.

0:22:13 > 0:22:15And fucking patronising.

0:22:15 > 0:22:18If you played a gig for striking double-glazing salesmen,

0:22:18 > 0:22:21I wonder how many miners would be in the audience to support them?

0:22:21 > 0:22:26Well, well, well. I see this lady is not for turning.

0:22:26 > 0:22:28Lavender, you going to be on the tour bus tomorrow night?

0:22:28 > 0:22:30Hell, yeah.

0:22:30 > 0:22:33Great. Sam, pleasure sparring with you,

0:22:33 > 0:22:37but got some TUC Execs in so I'd better go say hello.

0:22:39 > 0:22:41Sorry if that was a bit...

0:22:41 > 0:22:44He's just... He's just very committed.

0:22:44 > 0:22:46Committed to being a pretentious twat?

0:22:46 > 0:22:49Er, yes. He is 100% committed to that.

0:22:49 > 0:22:52- Another drink?- Yeah.

0:22:53 > 0:22:57Oi, barman. We're going to need four bottles of Holsten here.

0:22:57 > 0:23:00And now tell me we haven't missed that commie cunt Billings.

0:23:00 > 0:23:03Oi, oi!

0:23:03 > 0:23:05- Where is he? - Where's that fucking nonce?

0:23:07 > 0:23:12You're not like the other girls round here, really impressive, Sam.

0:23:12 > 0:23:14A real live-wire.

0:23:14 > 0:23:17All right, Ben. What happened to those TUC execs?

0:23:17 > 0:23:19They're just outside in the beer garden,

0:23:19 > 0:23:21waiting for an audience with Ben Billings, so...

0:23:21 > 0:23:23better not disappoint.

0:23:25 > 0:23:26Shall we do one?

0:23:26 > 0:23:27Oh, yes, please.

0:23:30 > 0:23:34All right, mate, you know that commie ponce Ben Billings?

0:23:34 > 0:23:37I just saw him pop out into the garden if you're interested.

0:23:41 > 0:23:43He had it coming though.

0:23:43 > 0:23:45Yeah. What a dick.

0:23:45 > 0:23:49"You're a live-wire, Sam, seriously."

0:23:49 > 0:23:52"Oh, thanks, Ben, you sexy activist."

0:23:52 > 0:23:53Is that meant to be me?

0:23:53 > 0:23:55Yeah. Obviously. Hello.

0:23:55 > 0:24:00"Oh, Ben, do you want to come in for a coffee and a class struggle?"

0:24:00 > 0:24:02Yeah, all right.

0:24:02 > 0:24:05"I was joking, Ben. I am married."

0:24:07 > 0:24:10You weren't being Ben, were you?

0:24:17 > 0:24:18Do you want to come in?

0:24:18 > 0:24:20What about the kids?

0:24:20 > 0:24:21They'll be asleep.

0:24:22 > 0:24:24Yeah, come on.

0:24:28 > 0:24:30Get away from my wife, you arsehole!

0:24:33 > 0:24:34Gotcha!

0:24:34 > 0:24:37Mate, you should have seen your fucking face, it was priceless.

0:24:37 > 0:24:39What the fuck are you doing here?

0:24:39 > 0:24:42Look, I understand you're annoyed. I'm sorry I fucked up today.

0:24:42 > 0:24:44But I came to apologise and saw Robbie

0:24:44 > 0:24:47and he was like, "Can you stay with me and watch Minder?"

0:24:47 > 0:24:50Do you know what, I panicked.

0:24:50 > 0:24:54I'll take the house off the market tomorrow.

0:24:54 > 0:24:55Sam?

0:24:55 > 0:24:58Sam, come on, don't be like that!

0:25:09 > 0:25:12I'm sorry for being a dick to you about that council job.

0:25:12 > 0:25:14It's already forgotten.

0:25:15 > 0:25:19Robbie told me you brought him home and took Sam out to cheer her up.

0:25:21 > 0:25:24You're taking care of my family better than I am at the moment.

0:25:24 > 0:25:26Come on, mate. I know things are tough right now

0:25:26 > 0:25:28but you'll pull through.

0:25:29 > 0:25:31Thank you.

0:25:31 > 0:25:34Now, are you on the old diet pills because I've lost mine

0:25:34 > 0:25:37and I'm starting to shake like a fucking leaf right now.

0:25:39 > 0:25:43Whoa, ooh, oh! Nobody wants you here.

0:25:43 > 0:25:46Leave this place.

0:25:46 > 0:25:52Ooh, ahh, hello!

0:25:52 > 0:25:54Whoa...

0:25:54 > 0:25:56- What's happening?- It's an exorcism.

0:25:56 > 0:25:59Don't worry, she's a professional white witch.

0:25:59 > 0:26:02Oh, good, because just for a second there I was worried.

0:26:02 > 0:26:04There. It's gone.
