0:00:02 > 0:00:07This programme contains very strong language.
0:00:07 > 0:00:10Sauchiehall Street is one of the most famous streets in Scotland.
0:00:10 > 0:00:13By day, thousands are employed in its shops and offices. By night,
0:00:13 > 0:00:16it attracts hordes of visitors to its restaurants, bars and clubs.
0:00:16 > 0:00:18And at the weekend, the street
0:00:18 > 0:00:23has a reputation as one of the most buzzing places to go out in Glasgow.
0:00:23 > 0:00:24Ah!
0:00:24 > 0:00:27If you've not got a number by now, you shouldn't be getting one
0:00:27 > 0:00:29in the taxi queue. Let's go down.
0:00:29 > 0:00:31The Street follows the lives of a number of people
0:00:31 > 0:00:34over the course of a year, as they try to earn their crust...
0:00:34 > 0:00:37There was a couple of wee fucking wanks scratching their fucking dick
0:00:37 > 0:00:39for eight hours this morning. Look at this, man.
0:00:39 > 0:00:41Hey! Guys!
0:00:41 > 0:00:43..protect the public...
0:00:43 > 0:00:45Well, you feel worried about what's going to happen.
0:00:45 > 0:00:47It could have killed him.
0:00:47 > 0:00:49..make sweet music...
0:00:49 > 0:00:52Another pound. I can buy some... A loaf of bread.
0:00:52 > 0:00:56I'm not a great person but a pound counts.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58- ..and struggle to make a living. - I don't have a problem
0:00:58 > 0:01:01with closing your business down, but I don't want to do it.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04On one of Scotland's most iconic streets.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07So, basically, they're all spineless bastards, in my view.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15Previously on The Street...
0:01:15 > 0:01:18# Or even let them school ya... #
0:01:18 > 0:01:21Melo, who makes his living busking, found himself homeless
0:01:21 > 0:01:25and had to turn to his old friend Craig for a place to stay.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27It's not going to be an open-ended thing,
0:01:27 > 0:01:29but eventually I'm sure he'll get something.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32You're sitting here, milking our country for thousands,
0:01:32 > 0:01:33you fucking black bastard, you.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36Playing late into the night, to earn money,
0:01:36 > 0:01:39he had a run-in with two passers-by.
0:01:40 > 0:01:41Fuck you!
0:01:41 > 0:01:42All right.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45And when he also fell out with Craig...
0:01:45 > 0:01:47- He don't want to talk. - Well, why should he?
0:01:47 > 0:01:52..Melo finally had to accept he was homeless again.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55If he ever touched me again, this is it - I'm going to batter him.
0:02:03 > 0:02:07Three weeks on, and Melo is still living in a cheap hotel
0:02:07 > 0:02:10while he tries to save money for a place of his own.
0:02:10 > 0:02:14Do you know one of the things I like around here? Is this.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16When you open... Ha-ha.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18A load of trees, and you can...
0:02:18 > 0:02:22I like it, to be honest. I don't mind it.
0:02:22 > 0:02:27Cos at the end of the day you just need somewhere to lie your head.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29But...
0:02:29 > 0:02:36I cannot really do much, just come down here and just relax my mind.
0:02:36 > 0:02:37That's it.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40He's just had some good news, though.
0:02:40 > 0:02:44He's been offered a free place to stay while he gets back on his feet.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53- How you doing, all right? - What's up, brother?
0:02:53 > 0:02:57He's arrived at takeaway restaurant Taste to pick up his things that
0:02:57 > 0:03:01fellow Sauchiehall Street regular Nick has been storing for him.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03Nick, thanks very much, man, yeah?
0:03:03 > 0:03:07Thanks a lot, man. This makes a big difference, man.
0:03:07 > 0:03:11- Got everything, yeah?- Yeah, yeah. If there's anything, I'll let you know.
0:03:11 > 0:03:12Cheers.
0:03:12 > 0:03:16Today is also Melo's birthday, and later tonight,
0:03:16 > 0:03:19one of Sauchiehall Street's bars is letting him host his own gig.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21Are you ready for a birthday party? My birthday party?
0:03:21 > 0:03:23In Brunswick Cellars?
0:03:23 > 0:03:26I'm not really, like, going out partying anymore the now -
0:03:26 > 0:03:28- I'm sorry. - Oh, it's my birthday, man.
0:03:28 > 0:03:32Yeah, yeah - my birthday's going to be in Brunswick Cellars,
0:03:32 > 0:03:37but also I'm going to be hosting a night there on Tuesday.
0:03:37 > 0:03:41Yeah. And we're trying to arrange so I don't lose money from being
0:03:41 > 0:03:45outside and stuff and, yeah, it's going to be a good night.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48I'm just heavy-duty sometimes.
0:03:48 > 0:03:53Waiting for Melo to arrive in the East End of the city is Chris.
0:03:53 > 0:03:54Well, I've kind of always...
0:03:54 > 0:03:56The first time I met him was quite a few...
0:03:56 > 0:03:58A think about a year back or so.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00I'd just always see him playing in the streets and stuff.
0:04:00 > 0:04:05He's basically had to leave where he was staying, so I just said,
0:04:05 > 0:04:08"Here, man, if you want, I've got a place you can stay."
0:04:08 > 0:04:10He's not paying any rent or anything.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13It's just to help him kind of get on his feet and stuff.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15He's just a really sound guy.
0:04:17 > 0:04:18Right.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21'He just wants to be settled down. Every time he tries to move about,'
0:04:21 > 0:04:23something seems to pop up.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26Like he'll stay at someone's and then he can only stay so long,
0:04:26 > 0:04:28so he's a bit kind of nomadic.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30So it's hard work, you know.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33I'm drinking water. I don't like it.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36Too much salt. It's making me sick.
0:04:40 > 0:04:41I think if you got enough time,
0:04:41 > 0:04:43I think I'm going to have something to drink.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46- What, beers or something?- Yeah.
0:04:46 > 0:04:47Do you want some beers?
0:04:47 > 0:04:49Melo will be back on Sauchiehall Street tonight
0:04:49 > 0:04:51for his birthday gig in a bar.
0:04:51 > 0:04:56If it goes well, it could lead to something regular that pays.
0:05:01 > 0:05:02Previously on The Street...
0:05:02 > 0:05:03Get these sinks filled up
0:05:03 > 0:05:06with hot, soapy water for this fucking moron coming in.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08Ex-addict Nick was trying everything he could
0:05:08 > 0:05:10to make his new takeaway business work.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12Cannabis was a major problem for us.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15OK, it was a fucking monumental problem.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18He was short-staffed, so took on school-leaver Kevin.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21I see something and I can't explain it when I see something in somebody.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23I just see it, do you know what I mean?
0:05:23 > 0:05:25See maybe a wee bit of myself in them or something like that.
0:05:25 > 0:05:29- Nick tried to give Kevin every chance.- Just fucking do it.
0:05:29 > 0:05:30Do it better than they done it,
0:05:30 > 0:05:32and fucking get it done and get it to fuck.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35But eventually he gave up and sacked him.
0:05:35 > 0:05:36To be honest,
0:05:36 > 0:05:39is there any difference with him not being here to him being here?
0:05:39 > 0:05:42I think he was just acting like a pure arsehole some of the times.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49Where's that tarragon, mate?
0:05:49 > 0:05:52All the herbs that I've got in this one.
0:05:52 > 0:05:56In the last month, Taste's profits have started to drop,
0:05:56 > 0:05:58so Nick has made the decision to diversify
0:05:58 > 0:06:01and offer buffets for corporate clients.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04We're bouncing off each other like fucking Dodgems here, man,
0:06:04 > 0:06:06looking for these. Where the fuck have they been put?
0:06:06 > 0:06:09Tonight's buffet is for 100 people,
0:06:09 > 0:06:11and has to be out of the door in an hour.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14I'm just a wee bit stressed out. I'm tired, I'm fucking...
0:06:14 > 0:06:18My head's a bit up my arse, but it's a good gig to get this,
0:06:18 > 0:06:19start getting buffets like this,
0:06:19 > 0:06:22because it's feeding more money into the business.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25Ideally, this place would just fucking make enough money
0:06:25 > 0:06:27and we didn't need to worry about doing stuff like this.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30It's almost like soliciting yourself out. It's tarragon I'm looking for.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32Where the fuck is it?!
0:06:32 > 0:06:35While Nick heads up the buffet side of the business,
0:06:35 > 0:06:38he's left the day-to-day running of Taste to his right-hand man
0:06:38 > 0:06:39and head chef, Kiddie.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42Things are really tough at the moment and it's hard, hard work.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45Especially we've got all these buffets with it being Christmas
0:06:45 > 0:06:48and... It's starting to take its toll a bit on everybody.
0:06:48 > 0:06:52Everybody's starting to get grumpy and just - "Oh, I want to go home."
0:06:52 > 0:06:54When I first started it was a bit hard going.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56I'd been out of work for seven months,
0:06:56 > 0:06:57but I've always had a good work ethic,
0:06:57 > 0:06:59I've always worked hard, and it's paying off now,
0:06:59 > 0:07:02because I'm getting a lot more responsibility. I'm getting to
0:07:02 > 0:07:05sort of look after the place on my own and things like that.
0:07:05 > 0:07:06It is, it's good.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09Excuse me, guys! I've found it!
0:07:09 > 0:07:12- Where? - Right in front of your face, here.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15Oh, I put that there. HE LAUGHS
0:07:15 > 0:07:18Nick and Kiddie have got one hour to get the buffet there on time.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23Tonight I'm going to get all the...
0:07:23 > 0:07:26You know, the universities, their music and that?
0:07:26 > 0:07:27Get them PR'd, and see if we can
0:07:27 > 0:07:30get some of those music students coming in as well.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33- Just have a massive jam session every Tuesday.- Yeah.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35That's... That's what my idea was, anyway.
0:07:35 > 0:07:39Melo's back on the street, and preparing for his gig tonight.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43How much is this?
0:07:43 > 0:07:46Give us £1.50, man.
0:07:46 > 0:07:47Oh, this is like happy hours?
0:07:47 > 0:07:49No, staff drink.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52Oh. Cheers, man.
0:07:53 > 0:07:57- Happy birthday, Melo.- Yeah, man. It's my day. Celebrate.
0:07:57 > 0:08:02You know, I woke up drunk from last night. This is the cure, innit?
0:08:02 > 0:08:06If it goes well, it could mean the start of Melo's own weekly gig.
0:08:06 > 0:08:10Yeah, if it's popular, then we can make it a regular thing.
0:08:10 > 0:08:14If tonight kicks off well, then we'll keep it going.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17They'll all try to play better than me, but... Ha-ha!
0:08:17 > 0:08:19This is going to be fun!
0:08:20 > 0:08:24Expect the worst and good things maybe happen.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36Patty! Patty, do you want to go with them now, please?
0:08:36 > 0:08:38Go with them upstairs.
0:08:38 > 0:08:43Back in Taste, Nick's rushing to get the buffet delivered on time.
0:08:45 > 0:08:49The last year and opening Taste has meant a big change for Nick.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52What happened there with Taste, I wouldn't be able to do that
0:08:52 > 0:08:56if I was fucking still carrying on the way I was. No way I'd be able to.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58I wouldn't be taking any money home or anything like that.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00I would be fucking... I'd be a joke.
0:09:00 > 0:09:04I'd be upstairs sleeping all the time, do you know what I mean?
0:09:04 > 0:09:08I'm healthy and all that now, do you know what I mean? And I'm happy.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10I'm content with myself.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13I'm taking all my... Projecting all my stress out on work,
0:09:13 > 0:09:16and when I finish at night, I'm quite happy, know what I mean?
0:09:16 > 0:09:19Just do two ham and cheese, do two cheese and just do two pastrami.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22Then at least we've got something to get started.
0:09:22 > 0:09:26The last year has not been as positive for everyone in Taste.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29A really shit year last year, to be honest.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31I was unemployed for a while and I was a bit...
0:09:31 > 0:09:35Didn't know what I was doing with myself for a while.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38I don't know, just lost the plot a couple of times.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42Just a lot of problems in my head, a wee bit of depression and stuff
0:09:42 > 0:09:44and that, which isn't nice.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46I've had it before and it never really goes away.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49One day you feel great and the next you just don't want to get out of your bed.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52A couple of days even when I was off I just wanted to lie in my bed all day.
0:09:52 > 0:09:56I didn't want to do anything. Just like, "What's the point?"
0:09:56 > 0:09:59He's a wee bit sad today, so I'm just going to lay off him.
0:09:59 > 0:10:03- RESEARCHER:- Why is he a wee bit sad? - I don't know. He's having problems.
0:10:03 > 0:10:07Having relationship problems. We'll leave it at that.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09Um... Aye, it's quite sad for him. It's a shame.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12But he bottles things up and then he is a right bastard.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15Whereas you've just got to be a consistent cunt, as I like to say it.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18You've just got to make the best of it you can, just do the best
0:10:18 > 0:10:21you can, and hopefully everything's all right this year.
0:10:21 > 0:10:22I'm hoping it will be, for fuck's sake.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25I don't think I could go through another year like that.
0:10:25 > 0:10:29I see him working for me to the day the two of us stop working, aye.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31But the only thing is,
0:10:31 > 0:10:34I know that guys like Kiddie, you don't fucking leave sitting.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51Sauchiehall Street has a new resident,
0:10:51 > 0:10:55who's just arrived after living and working in Spain.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59About six years ago, I was on Talk 107,
0:10:59 > 0:11:01I was on the radio every Saturday.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04From there, we went and toured around the world.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07Went to Spain, we went to Dublin, went to Turkey, and I woke up one day
0:11:07 > 0:11:10and a little voice said, "It's time for you to go and work in Glasgow,"
0:11:10 > 0:11:14and everything seems to be like a little jigsaw, fitting to pieces.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16I still wish it was a bit sunnier.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19Chris may have only just arrived,
0:11:19 > 0:11:21but he already has work, later tonight.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23Apparently it's the oldest pub in Glasgow,
0:11:23 > 0:11:28and the entities that are in there, we're going to try and talk to
0:11:28 > 0:11:31and link up to, and see - is anybody haunting the pub?
0:11:31 > 0:11:33Anybody stuck in the pub?
0:11:33 > 0:11:36We might find some interesting characters.
0:11:38 > 0:11:42Chris is a clairvoyant psychic and hypnotist.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46He's moved lock, stock and barrel to Glasgow,
0:11:46 > 0:11:51after receiving instructions from the spirit world.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53Anybody that goes into this type of field, they should know
0:11:53 > 0:11:57exactly what they're doing, or they shouldn't be messing with it at all.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00Don't mess with things that you don't understand, because it's very
0:12:00 > 0:12:03dangerous and very real if you don't know who you're dealing with.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09It looks like quite an ancient place, stuck in the middle
0:12:09 > 0:12:11of some of the modern buildings.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14But let's go and have some fun.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16That's you now.
0:12:18 > 0:12:19Up on Sauchiehall Street...
0:12:19 > 0:12:21Wahey!
0:12:23 > 0:12:25..Melo's not on his usual pitch.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31# Hey, Joe
0:12:33 > 0:12:36# Where you goin' with that gun in your hand? Yeah, baby... #
0:12:36 > 0:12:39It is nearing the end of his birthday gig,
0:12:39 > 0:12:41and he's packed the place out.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43# Yes, I did, I shot her... #
0:12:43 > 0:12:47Melo's been brilliant. A fair amount of publicity.
0:12:47 > 0:12:48We're making a lot of money.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50Putting a lot of money in the till, so happy about that.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53# Hey, Joe
0:12:53 > 0:12:55INDISTINCT
0:12:55 > 0:12:57# Shooting me down... #
0:12:57 > 0:13:01Judging what happens tonight, once a month, I reckon.
0:13:01 > 0:13:02CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:13:02 > 0:13:04We jammin'! We jammin'!
0:13:06 > 0:13:09Melo's birthday party is going well,
0:13:09 > 0:13:12and he's having a great time, bonding with his new housemates.
0:13:14 > 0:13:18Fuck it. I need a pee. I'm not going downstairs again.
0:13:18 > 0:13:19HE LAUGHS
0:13:19 > 0:13:20Yeah, man.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23It's my birthday - I can fucking do what I want!
0:13:23 > 0:13:27Fuck it. Fuck off!
0:13:27 > 0:13:30THEY GRUNT AND GROAN
0:13:31 > 0:13:34You fucking homos, motherfuckers.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42Previously on The Street, a Christian group, the Street Pastors,
0:13:42 > 0:13:45were out, looking after the inebriated and the vulnerable.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47WOMAN SHRIEKS
0:13:47 > 0:13:50People are going to drink to excess.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52It's not my call to judge people in that,
0:13:52 > 0:13:55but what I can do is help people.
0:13:55 > 0:13:56Every weekend,
0:13:56 > 0:13:59they hand out flip-flops to the barefoot partygoers...
0:13:59 > 0:14:01Absolutely brilliant. You're a life-saver.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04It's marvellous what a wee pair of flip-flops does, isn't it?
0:14:04 > 0:14:08- ..and comfort the homeless. - We pray that in Jesus' name, Amen.
0:14:08 > 0:14:09Thank you very much.
0:14:14 > 0:14:17A month on, and the pastors are out again.
0:14:17 > 0:14:18Whoo!
0:14:18 > 0:14:22This is Street Pastor 2 on Sauchiehall Street.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25Gary is heading up one of tonight's teams.
0:14:25 > 0:14:29OK, we'll head on that direction, see if we can see him. Thank you.
0:14:29 > 0:14:30Over.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32The guy is down here by the Campus,
0:14:32 > 0:14:36but he evidently has four friends with him, evidently quite drunk,
0:14:36 > 0:14:38and they're going to try to get him home in a taxi,
0:14:38 > 0:14:41but we'll go and see what... If there's something we can do further.
0:14:41 > 0:14:43This may be him here. I don't know.
0:14:44 > 0:14:45- Hiya.- Hi.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48Anything we can do to help? Is he OK?
0:14:48 > 0:14:50FRIENDS ALL SPEAK AT ONCE
0:14:50 > 0:14:53- That would be great, by the way.- How are you going to get him home?- Taxi.
0:14:53 > 0:14:54Well, is he OK?
0:14:54 > 0:14:57So you guys are going to be sure you get him home safely?
0:14:57 > 0:15:00- Oh, yeah.- OK. We just want to be sure he's safe.- Yeah, no, he's fine.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02- OK.- Thanks, though.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04There's not much we can do.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09At least he had some mates there, so...
0:15:09 > 0:15:12'I feel like the Church is pretty insular,'
0:15:12 > 0:15:15locked into kind of their churches, sitting in their pews,
0:15:15 > 0:15:19doing their religious thing, inside a building, and really not knowing
0:15:19 > 0:15:22what's going on in the real world, on the streets like this,
0:15:22 > 0:15:26and I feel like if we can get some of those people out here,
0:15:26 > 0:15:28doing, really, what they need to be doing...
0:15:28 > 0:15:32The Gospel, really, for us is all about caring for people,
0:15:32 > 0:15:37loving them, supporting them - it's just our message.
0:15:37 > 0:15:41As Gary and his team continue on, they're stopped in their tracks.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44- ..sleeping bags.- He said he'd give me a sleeping bag at one o'clock.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46- Did you speak to the other Street Pastors?- Yes.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48One o'clock at the running legs.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50- I think they've only got one bag. - Yeah, and it's for me.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53The pastors hand out free hats, scarves
0:15:53 > 0:15:55and sleeping bags to the homeless.
0:15:55 > 0:15:56- He better be there.- Yeah.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00He's spoken with one of our team.
0:16:00 > 0:16:04At one o'clock, after the break, they're going to meet him at the
0:16:04 > 0:16:08running legs, up by the bus station, and give him a sleeping bag.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10We're sleeping rough, right...
0:16:10 > 0:16:13I'm waiting there... I've got to go up to the running legs
0:16:13 > 0:16:15at one o'clock to get a sleeping bag.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18And the Street Pastors are going to give me a sleeping bag.
0:16:19 > 0:16:23The other Street Pastor, usually they give you, like,
0:16:23 > 0:16:26gloves and scarves and that, hats and that, you know?
0:16:26 > 0:16:28What if they have, on any given night...
0:16:28 > 0:16:31Say we give them a sleeping bag, they may bin it
0:16:31 > 0:16:33or get it stolen the next night, so it's...
0:16:33 > 0:16:36It's just very difficult to know what to do.
0:16:36 > 0:16:40And these bags are costing us about £10 or £12 apiece at best,
0:16:40 > 0:16:44and... But we think if we can get them through a night
0:16:44 > 0:16:47then that's OK. We'll do what we can do to help them.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53# If you love me... #
0:16:53 > 0:16:57Back at Melo's party, it's just past last orders
0:16:57 > 0:17:00and he's been asked to stop playing by the staff.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02I said, "Half eleven, maybe you could think about
0:17:02 > 0:17:06"playing your last song and then tidying up your stuff,
0:17:06 > 0:17:09"because we do have homes to go to, believe it or not!"
0:17:09 > 0:17:10# ..stand up...
0:17:10 > 0:17:11# Don't give up Don't give up
0:17:11 > 0:17:13# Stand up for your rights... #
0:17:13 > 0:17:16But Melo seems to have no intention of stopping.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19# Oh! Come on, baby... #
0:17:24 > 0:17:26How about this?
0:17:26 > 0:17:28The bar staff have had enough,
0:17:28 > 0:17:32and finally have to pull the plug.
0:17:32 > 0:17:34He's going to kill me, man.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37All right, but, the thing is...
0:17:37 > 0:17:39HE PLAYS HARMONICA
0:17:39 > 0:17:41I'm going to go home! HE LAUGHS
0:17:41 > 0:17:43Missed our last bus now.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46Whoa - it's, like, quarter past. Totally missed it.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50We're going to be here for a while, by the looks of things.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52The master's come up.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55Is that yours?
0:17:55 > 0:17:59Cannae do it every week though, cos the stress is too much.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03At one point, I was close to breaking point,
0:18:03 > 0:18:05I'm not going to lie to you.
0:18:05 > 0:18:06You hear that, man?
0:18:06 > 0:18:09By the end of the night, Melo is happy,
0:18:09 > 0:18:11but it hasn't been fun for everyone.
0:18:17 > 0:18:21- Ladies' toilet there, gents' toilet there.- OK.
0:18:21 > 0:18:25Psychic Chris is being shown about the Scotia Bar,
0:18:25 > 0:18:28one of the oldest - and thought to be most haunted - pubs in Glasgow.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30Do you know, it feels colder,
0:18:30 > 0:18:32but this is actually telling us it is slightly warmer.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35Tony, have you ever put any equipment in here before?
0:18:35 > 0:18:38Chris is working with a group of amateur ghost chasers.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41Where would you put your voice-activated stuff?
0:18:41 > 0:18:42They're not...
0:18:42 > 0:18:45voice activated. They're probably just...
0:18:45 > 0:18:48- Turn them on and leave them running. - OK.
0:18:48 > 0:18:52- Because I feel round here...- Landlady Mary has seen it all before.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55OK. There's been a lot of old presences here, yeah?
0:18:55 > 0:19:00I had a very extraordinary evening with the very first group
0:19:00 > 0:19:06that came in here. They had a seance, and they had a woman
0:19:06 > 0:19:07who came through to them.
0:19:07 > 0:19:11They had one of those voice-activated things that you were
0:19:11 > 0:19:15talking about, and they actually played that back at the time,
0:19:15 > 0:19:19and you could quite clearly hear a voice saying, "Get out of my pub"!
0:19:20 > 0:19:23Chris has gravitated to one corner of the bar,
0:19:25 > 0:19:27and has managed to make contact.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30I feel a little girl here, OK?
0:19:30 > 0:19:35And I feel very sick, and as though she passed away quite young,
0:19:35 > 0:19:37because I'm feeling like I'm rocking and I'm feeling lost.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40I'm feeling trapped. I'm searching for my mother.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42I'm going back a long time ago, here,
0:19:42 > 0:19:45but I feel as though the girl is moving on to a...
0:19:45 > 0:19:48Going to take her to a proper spiritual resting place.
0:19:48 > 0:19:52- Is that OK with yourself, I do that? - Yes.- And OK with, um...
0:19:53 > 0:19:56HE BREATHES DEEPLY
0:20:06 > 0:20:09Do you know what, you're going to find the energy changes in here.
0:20:09 > 0:20:13Get back to me in a week or two if you can, or I'll call you,
0:20:13 > 0:20:16and find out if the energy changes in here.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20Chris may have made a connection with Glaswegian spirits...
0:20:20 > 0:20:24Thank you. Very interesting, thank you.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27..but tomorrow, his psychic ability will be tested
0:20:27 > 0:20:30by Sauchiehall Street's paying public.
0:20:36 > 0:20:37There's got to be one...
0:20:37 > 0:20:41Gary's team have been waiting with a sleeping bag for the two homeless men to collect.
0:20:41 > 0:20:45We're going to meet this fella here to give him a sleeping bag, at 1:00,
0:20:45 > 0:20:49but he hasn't shown so we'll have to see.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51Are you going to wait a bit to see if he's...?
0:20:51 > 0:20:55- I've got to wait on Joy and Janice anyway.- OK.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57He was so confident that he was going to get this...
0:20:57 > 0:21:00I don't mind carrying the bag...
0:21:00 > 0:21:04I think let's move on. We'll see you guys later.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08If you carried the weight of the city it would just drive you nuts
0:21:08 > 0:21:11but we do what we can, that's all we know.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14We just do what we can, and then you have to go to sleep
0:21:14 > 0:21:18and uh...and leave it where it is, you know.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21Because if you carried that weight of everybody you speak to
0:21:21 > 0:21:24it would just be overwhelming, because
0:21:24 > 0:21:27the needs on this...at least on this street is just gigantic.
0:21:27 > 0:21:30..Would they not tell you, even...?
0:21:30 > 0:21:32INDISTINCT
0:21:45 > 0:21:48Previously on The Street, Jim and Neil,
0:21:48 > 0:21:52managers of the Savoy Centre, the home of over 60 small retailers,
0:21:52 > 0:21:55started Sunday trading to boost revenue.
0:21:55 > 0:21:59It's not great. The Sunday opening's been an uphill battle from day one.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01I don't have a problem with closing your business down....
0:22:03 > 0:22:06But the increase in rent left some of the shop owners frustrated.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09The centre should have been open 20 years ago, not now, on a Sunday.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11They're too late with it.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13After an early attempt at communal resistance...
0:22:13 > 0:22:17He's paid. He's paid. She's paid. He's paid. They've paid...
0:22:17 > 0:22:20..only Ian's shoe shop held out.
0:22:20 > 0:22:24They've all caved in, agreed to do it. So basically they're all spineless bastards, in my view.
0:22:24 > 0:22:29But eventually, after threatening to shut down his business,
0:22:29 > 0:22:33- Ian caved.- I have reservations about what will happen.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35Sunday openings didn't start well,
0:22:35 > 0:22:38and the pressure on Jim to perform was increasing.
0:22:38 > 0:22:42As much as it pains me to say it, I'm seriously considering other options.
0:22:42 > 0:22:46And the stress of the job got to breaking point.
0:22:46 > 0:22:50I'm genuinely at a loss as to what to do at the moment. A genuine loss.
0:23:00 > 0:23:04Three weeks on, and Ian's opened every Sunday.
0:23:04 > 0:23:08But now, other traders haven't.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10So he's gone to see Neil to voice his concerns.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13Neil, if everywhere's open in two weeks, I'm not opening.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16Well, if we're staying open it's a case of every single person.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19- It's 100 per cent or not at all. - Yeah.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21And if it's not 100 per cent I will not open.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24If they'd all stuck together when I suggested at the time,
0:23:24 > 0:23:26and they all friggin' didn't...
0:23:26 > 0:23:30- They all caved in. "Oh, we're not going to open." And they all bloody opened.- Yeah.- Apart from us.
0:23:30 > 0:23:34I'm giving yous a fortnight, then I'm going to take action as well.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36- Yeah.- OK. Right.
0:23:39 > 0:23:44Ian basically was one of the retailers who as you may have heard
0:23:44 > 0:23:48we kind of made an example of back at the start of Sunday trading.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51He's opened on time, he's closed on time,
0:23:51 > 0:23:53but it's just not working for him,
0:23:53 > 0:23:58and now there's other people who aren't opening who... They're not getting away with it,
0:23:58 > 0:24:01but we need to very, very quickly now make a decision.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04The decisions that we make are made for the right reasons,
0:24:04 > 0:24:09and sometimes that can have a negative effect and sometimes that can have a positive effect,
0:24:09 > 0:24:11but, you know, you asked about pressure...
0:24:11 > 0:24:14To be honest with you, I'm 43 years old now,
0:24:14 > 0:24:19I don't think I've ever experienced pressure like I have in the last year, 18 months.
0:24:19 > 0:24:23It changes daily, you're right on the edge morning, noon and night.
0:24:23 > 0:24:26You can feel as though you're having a good day, then bang.
0:24:26 > 0:24:30People cannot afford to just keep paying out
0:24:30 > 0:24:33an extra percentage on the rent every single week,
0:24:33 > 0:24:35giving up a day of the week as well
0:24:35 > 0:24:38to come in and not make any money.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41It's just the usual shit on a different day.
0:24:45 > 0:24:50On the far end of Sauchiehall Street, psychic Chris is heading out to work.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53He's not only the street's newest resident,
0:24:53 > 0:24:57he also has set up the hub of his business in the Savoy Centre.
0:24:57 > 0:25:01And today, Jim's moving him into a new unit,
0:25:01 > 0:25:08where he'll specialise in psychic readings, Tantric massage and tarot cards.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11I'm going to have my chairs on here. Get sorted.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14Going to put a hypnosis table in there.
0:25:14 > 0:25:18Doing the hypnotherapy, doing my readings, it's more private...
0:25:18 > 0:25:22I'm pleased. Be pleased when they get in.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25But Chris isn't the only psychic in the Savoy.
0:25:25 > 0:25:29Kizzy the clairvoyant, who's... I feel as though I'm Kizzy's receptionist.
0:25:29 > 0:25:33When working in the office the phone goes 10, 15 times a day,
0:25:33 > 0:25:34for people just looking for Kizzy.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37She's the person that people actually queue in the street
0:25:37 > 0:25:41from seven o'clock in the morning. She's possibly the best-known clairvoyant in Scotland.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44Certainly in Glasgow, possibly in Scotland.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46She's really, really well known.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49A stick for when I'm casting the spells, you know...?
0:25:49 > 0:25:52Warding off evil around the shop, you know?
0:25:52 > 0:25:54Keep away the evil.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57There's, like, an evil sign!
0:25:57 > 0:25:59Brush it away.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01Very difficult to compete against.
0:26:01 > 0:26:06That's like my team Motherwell competing against Barcelona, Chris competing against Kizzy.
0:26:06 > 0:26:08That's the best way I can describe that.
0:26:08 > 0:26:11I've seen all types of psychics.
0:26:11 > 0:26:15I've seen them reading out of books, all sorts.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18A lot of psychics kind of go... I'm in Savoy Centre -
0:26:18 > 0:26:19a lot of people say,
0:26:19 > 0:26:22"We've had that many different psychics," but do you know what?
0:26:22 > 0:26:28I might be crazy, people might laugh at me - but I get what I want.
0:26:28 > 0:26:30Does everybody get what they want?
0:26:42 > 0:26:47Come on, idiot! Stop fuckin' hidin' through the back, come on. I need you. Red onions done.
0:26:47 > 0:26:52In Taste, Nick's preparing for service.
0:26:52 > 0:26:57- The team, though, is one man down. - Kiddie's disappeared.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00I dropped him off last night.
0:27:00 > 0:27:02He's going through a lot of shit the noo.
0:27:02 > 0:27:07I phoned him - his phone was off. Went round to his mum and dad's and he wasn't there.
0:27:07 > 0:27:11He's been postin' fuckin' shit in his Facebook from 4:00am.
0:27:11 > 0:27:15It's leading me to assume the worst, which don't worry me, but
0:27:15 > 0:27:18he's my fuckin' mate and I'm worried about him.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21It's pretty scary to be honest with you.
0:27:21 > 0:27:25Nick, he's tried this before and his mum and dad found him.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27I sort of fear the worst, you know what I mean?
0:27:27 > 0:27:29He could be fuckin' hangin' from a tree.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32Either that or he could be in jail, he's...
0:27:32 > 0:27:34Kiddie can be quite unpredictable at times.
0:27:34 > 0:27:38When he's here he does his fuckin' work and he gives it his all, but...
0:27:38 > 0:27:40he's got a lot of issues in his fuckin' head.
0:27:40 > 0:27:44It's actually quite sad cos he's messaging Facebook - I've sent him a message saying
0:27:44 > 0:27:47- "If you want to talk..."- Last night?
0:27:47 > 0:27:51He says, "I've lost the love of my life. What to do...?"
0:27:51 > 0:27:54God. I hope he's not done anything.
0:27:54 > 0:27:56Cos I mean, he does get down...
0:27:56 > 0:28:00See, that's the thing, I'm not going, "That's it, whatever he's done" -
0:28:00 > 0:28:05I'm going by the evidence I've got over the last couple of days, what I know about him. It's no good.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08What, has he not been right the last couple of days?
0:28:08 > 0:28:10- Bevvyin' heavy.- Oh, is he?
0:28:10 > 0:28:15I would have seen him at least phoning me and saying "I'm fuckin' no' coming in," wrecked or something,
0:28:15 > 0:28:21and I'd have been, "Right, I'll leave your fuckin' doing till the morrow, when I see you." As long as I know.
0:28:21 > 0:28:26It's like my mum always tried to get hold of me when I was out,
0:28:26 > 0:28:32and she used to go through every situation you can think of, but it's like a fuckin' son.
0:28:32 > 0:28:37He's my guy, I fuckin' love him to bits. I've known him for ever. We've got fuckin' good history together.
0:28:38 > 0:28:41'And now this has fuckin' happened, do you know what I mean?'
0:28:41 > 0:28:44No, I don't, and he never fuckin' answers either, mate, so...
0:28:51 > 0:28:55Back at the Savoy, with no customers so far,
0:28:55 > 0:28:58Chris has decided to go into the centre and drum up business.
0:28:58 > 0:29:01Hi, love. Are you interested in readings?
0:29:01 > 0:29:05Yeah? Why don't you make a donation...
0:29:05 > 0:29:07- A donation?- ..for cancer research,
0:29:07 > 0:29:09and I'll do a quick five-minute meeting?
0:29:09 > 0:29:14Chris has got a lot to prove, being Glasgow's newest psychic.
0:29:14 > 0:29:17So every prediction today will have to be spot on.
0:29:17 > 0:29:20- Do you get headaches?- Recently.
0:29:20 > 0:29:24- Because I'm seeing here...- Yeah. Only recently.- Do you see auras?
0:29:24 > 0:29:27- Pardon?- Do you see colours, or auras?
0:29:27 > 0:29:30- I have thought I had done.- Aye, because something's telling me yes.
0:29:30 > 0:29:34There's a bit of black here which is causing a bit of headache.
0:29:34 > 0:29:38- You've also got a problem here at the base...- Ooh, yeah.- Yeah. Aye.
0:29:38 > 0:29:41- And towards the disc as well.- Yeah.
0:29:41 > 0:29:44- How do you know that? - It was a lucky guess, huh?
0:29:44 > 0:29:48But that situation will address itself.
0:29:48 > 0:29:52Outside, Chris has two more customers waiting.
0:29:52 > 0:29:56- Perfect. Thank you.- OK, thank you. - Thank you very much.- Bye.
0:29:56 > 0:30:02It was very good, he said things that I could relate to, and er...I believe him.
0:30:02 > 0:30:05- I've not got any change.- OK.
0:30:05 > 0:30:08In now is the first of two sisters.
0:30:08 > 0:30:10You've actually, recently...
0:30:10 > 0:30:12in your house, jumped,
0:30:12 > 0:30:15because you felt somebody behind you.
0:30:15 > 0:30:18- Mm-hm, last night.- Yeah.- Mm-hm.
0:30:18 > 0:30:19OK, there is a woman.
0:30:19 > 0:30:21There is a woman.
0:30:21 > 0:30:23You're not ready to talk to her and see her yet,
0:30:23 > 0:30:25and she said, why would she be angry with you?
0:30:25 > 0:30:26She loves you.
0:30:29 > 0:30:32So far, so good with sister number one.
0:30:32 > 0:30:35But outside waits a tougher customer.
0:30:35 > 0:30:37Kimberly's a bit..
0:30:37 > 0:30:39No, she's not really been before, so she's kind of -
0:30:39 > 0:30:40I think she's a bit...
0:30:40 > 0:30:43Doesn't know whether to believe it or not.
0:30:43 > 0:30:45There's a few people that are in the spirit world,
0:30:45 > 0:30:47and I'm hoping that they come through.
0:30:47 > 0:30:50- Thanks very much. - Watch that neighbour.
0:30:50 > 0:30:53I bloody hope not!
0:30:53 > 0:30:55Aye, some of it was all right.
0:30:55 > 0:30:56It was not bad.
0:30:56 > 0:30:58Pick me three cards, then.
0:30:58 > 0:31:01I do believe there's something...
0:31:01 > 0:31:04out there. But I don't know,
0:31:04 > 0:31:06sometimes they do make things up.
0:31:08 > 0:31:12She didn't... She didn't have a dog, did she?
0:31:12 > 0:31:15There's quite a lot of dogs that's been around.
0:31:15 > 0:31:17Was it a nippy little thing?
0:31:17 > 0:31:20Was it a big thing? Know what I mean?
0:31:20 > 0:31:23What's... Feel round your ankles.
0:31:23 > 0:31:26She's been to a few, so she knows what it's all about.
0:31:26 > 0:31:28So she'll know if he's good or not.
0:31:28 > 0:31:31Like, she'll probably come out and just say, "Shite."
0:31:31 > 0:31:33Has he been behaving?
0:31:33 > 0:31:35It was all right. Certain things were all right.
0:31:35 > 0:31:39And then it was other things that was a wee bit...
0:31:39 > 0:31:42It was OK, it wasn't the best. It was a bit tough.
0:31:42 > 0:31:45A tough day at the office today!
0:31:49 > 0:31:51Fuck off, man!
0:31:51 > 0:31:54I just heard my phone going there, man, but there's no...
0:31:54 > 0:31:55Cunt.
0:31:55 > 0:31:58With no word from Kiddie, Nick is starting to fear the worst.
0:31:58 > 0:32:00PHONE RINGS
0:32:00 > 0:32:02Hello?
0:32:02 > 0:32:05Yeah.
0:32:05 > 0:32:06Have you got any news for me?
0:32:06 > 0:32:09You know what's going on with this fucking moron, no?
0:32:09 > 0:32:12This is getting fucking scary, by the way.
0:32:12 > 0:32:13I'm not joking, man.
0:32:16 > 0:32:18Aye, you've been fucking right,
0:32:18 > 0:32:21and he'll be, "I've lost the best thing in my life," and all that.
0:32:21 > 0:32:24I know. I know, mate. I know.
0:32:24 > 0:32:25OK, mate. Cheers, bye.
0:32:30 > 0:32:32You can tell he's totally worried.
0:32:32 > 0:32:33He's totally stressed out his box cos
0:32:33 > 0:32:36he disnae know what's going on, and it's just not like Kiddie to
0:32:36 > 0:32:38turn his phone off, that's the thing.
0:32:38 > 0:32:40Can I get some more tortillas down here, somebody?
0:32:40 > 0:32:42Nick, he's been chasing him all day.
0:32:42 > 0:32:44He's really, really worried about him.
0:32:44 > 0:32:47Come on, can I see a wee bit of movement out of somebody?
0:32:47 > 0:32:48Fuck's sake.
0:32:48 > 0:32:50He's been his friend frae when he was 11 years old,
0:32:50 > 0:32:52it's not just somebody that he's just met or whatever,
0:32:52 > 0:32:55it's somebody that he's known for a long, long time.
0:32:55 > 0:32:56Have you got more tortillas for me?
0:32:56 > 0:32:58No, you're just fucking leaving it, aye?
0:32:58 > 0:33:00Workshy dicks.
0:33:00 > 0:33:02- Why are you going for him, Nick? - Why's it no' working?
0:33:02 > 0:33:03Cos it's too low, look.
0:33:03 > 0:33:07I swear to God, man, this isnae fucking good,
0:33:07 > 0:33:10I cannae deal with this, man. It's getting a bit scary now.
0:33:10 > 0:33:11The later it's getting,
0:33:11 > 0:33:13the more fucking depressed I'm getting about it, man.
0:33:13 > 0:33:15I'm going to go out and... If nothing's surfaced
0:33:15 > 0:33:17by the time I've done this,
0:33:17 > 0:33:20I'm going to look until I find him, you know what I mean?
0:33:32 > 0:33:34Back at the Savoy...
0:33:34 > 0:33:37What you need to do is you need to get those e-mails out.
0:33:37 > 0:33:41And I need to get these leaflets done today.
0:33:41 > 0:33:44Chris has finished up for the day, and his wife Kes
0:33:44 > 0:33:47has popped by to see how he's settled into his new unit.
0:33:47 > 0:33:49I do the promotion side of the work,
0:33:49 > 0:33:52and I bring him all the business in that way.
0:33:52 > 0:33:55And, um... But Chris is really good himself.
0:33:55 > 0:33:56He's a top TV psychic,
0:33:56 > 0:34:00and I think what attracted Chris was love at first sight.
0:34:00 > 0:34:03We were married in past lives more than twice.
0:34:03 > 0:34:06Actually...three or four times.
0:34:06 > 0:34:10And I didn't know this. Of course, Chris told me this!
0:34:12 > 0:34:13I did not tell you this!
0:34:13 > 0:34:15How am I supposed to know this?
0:34:15 > 0:34:19You asked about your past lives. And we did it, and we sorted it.
0:34:19 > 0:34:22But that doesn't really mean that you have to marry somebody
0:34:22 > 0:34:24because you married them in a past life,
0:34:24 > 0:34:25it just means you have that connection.
0:34:25 > 0:34:30And it also - there's soul mates and there's twin flames,
0:34:30 > 0:34:34and twin flames are much closer than soul mates.
0:34:34 > 0:34:37If you find your soul mate then you get along really well,
0:34:37 > 0:34:41and you're like the best of friends, but twin flames are even closer.
0:34:41 > 0:34:43And apparently we're twin flames.
0:34:43 > 0:34:45Which...
0:34:45 > 0:34:49I still find it hard to believe, but...!
0:34:49 > 0:34:51It's been a slow start for Chris,
0:34:51 > 0:34:54but he's hoping for an upturn in fortune.
0:34:54 > 0:34:59He's been booked for private tarot readings at a house party tonight.
0:35:00 > 0:35:03I see you! They're over there, hiding themselves.
0:35:03 > 0:35:05A week after Melo's party,
0:35:05 > 0:35:10he's meeting up with friends to see if his weekly gig is still on,
0:35:10 > 0:35:12only to be just told that he's actually barred.
0:35:12 > 0:35:14I'm barred.
0:35:14 > 0:35:16- From here?- Yeah.
0:35:16 > 0:35:17HE LAUGHS
0:35:17 > 0:35:20I've done nothing wrong.
0:35:20 > 0:35:22- What do you mean, barred? - What was...?
0:35:22 > 0:35:24I'm not allowed to go there.
0:35:24 > 0:35:26A pint of Fosters and a Strongbow.
0:35:26 > 0:35:27Fosters and Strongbow.
0:35:27 > 0:35:30Martin was working the night of Melo's birthday.
0:35:30 > 0:35:32It wasn't his decision to bar him,
0:35:32 > 0:35:36but from what he saw that night, he's not surprised.
0:35:36 > 0:35:38He thought he was going to be able to do that every Tuesday,
0:35:38 > 0:35:41and that's what he thought, and I think that's what his mindset was,
0:35:41 > 0:35:46like, he could come in and do what he wanted,
0:35:46 > 0:35:48which is out of the question, the way he was acting as well.
0:35:48 > 0:35:52'He would butt in, shout you over, "Give me this," like -'
0:35:52 > 0:35:55and there was no pleasantries about it, if you want to call it that.
0:35:56 > 0:35:58No, no, I didn't want to play down there, anyway.
0:35:58 > 0:36:00I didn't want to play down there anyway.
0:36:00 > 0:36:04What they do here is like - I call it...
0:36:04 > 0:36:09like we said, they take advantage of musicians.
0:36:09 > 0:36:14Do you know what I mean? Like they took advantage of me, like...
0:36:14 > 0:36:16Not even a pint, they gave me.
0:36:16 > 0:36:20So I just don't understand these people.
0:36:20 > 0:36:22You know what I mean?
0:36:22 > 0:36:25Jealousy and stuff.
0:36:25 > 0:36:29Melo's behaviour has cost him the chance of a regular gig.
0:36:29 > 0:36:32And back at home, things aren't any better.
0:36:33 > 0:36:38I just think he's being selfish, really. So...
0:36:38 > 0:36:41He's started to fall out with Chris and the other housemates.
0:36:41 > 0:36:44I think he's a talented musician, and I think he's a nice guy,
0:36:44 > 0:36:45and he's got a good heart in him,
0:36:45 > 0:36:48but I think he's a bit haywire at times, with some things,
0:36:48 > 0:36:51and I think maybe the booze and stuff like that does affect him
0:36:51 > 0:36:54in that way, but sometimes he's fine,
0:36:54 > 0:36:56and sometimes he's just a bit incoherent.
0:36:56 > 0:36:59But, I mean, to be fair, he's hammered quite a lot
0:36:59 > 0:37:02and I get hammered quite a lot as well, and ...
0:37:02 > 0:37:04He does a lot more than everybody,
0:37:04 > 0:37:07but sometimes he's just a bit too out of control in that way.
0:37:07 > 0:37:09You know, like, just a bit wild.
0:37:09 > 0:37:11- Forget about it.- Yeah, let's just forget about it.
0:37:18 > 0:37:21Chris has arrived at the tarot reading party
0:37:21 > 0:37:23in the Knightswood area of Glasgow.
0:37:23 > 0:37:26- Hiya!- Hiya. Hiya.- Hi!
0:37:26 > 0:37:31He's working in one of the bedrooms, and expecting a good night.
0:37:31 > 0:37:35I said I'm going to sit on there and do my readings.
0:37:35 > 0:37:38You know - is this not a tough job I have?!
0:37:38 > 0:37:43Guys, eat your heart out. And I get paid for this.
0:37:45 > 0:37:48Chris is in high spirits, but in first is Natalie,
0:37:48 > 0:37:51who's had some bad experiences with psychics.
0:37:51 > 0:37:53It was a woman that was in the Savoy before.
0:37:53 > 0:37:55- It wisnae really... - She never told you...
0:37:55 > 0:37:58She never got anything as accurate as what I would have preferred.
0:37:58 > 0:38:00I gave her too much information, and do you know what?
0:38:00 > 0:38:02It was due to obviously having a drink before,
0:38:02 > 0:38:04so I'm not going to be doing that.
0:38:04 > 0:38:06That's how I'm having a Wicked.
0:38:08 > 0:38:11With eight readings for Chris to do tonight, they make a start.
0:38:11 > 0:38:13HE CHUCKLES Oh!
0:38:13 > 0:38:16- Are you OK? Are you sure? - Aye, that's me. I'm in.
0:38:16 > 0:38:19But Natalie doesn't plan on giving Chris an easy time.
0:38:19 > 0:38:21And neither does her mum Angie.
0:38:21 > 0:38:24You're actually looking for a lot of detail,
0:38:24 > 0:38:26but you don't want to give a lot away,
0:38:26 > 0:38:32but you're actually looking for him to know something about you.
0:38:32 > 0:38:34And see if you don't get that from the word go,
0:38:34 > 0:38:37you feel as if you're getting cracked on, really.
0:38:37 > 0:38:43I'm feeling... Were you looked after by somebody when you were younger?
0:38:43 > 0:38:45- Uh-huh, uh-huh! Mm-hm. - Do you know where I'm going here?
0:38:45 > 0:38:46Uh-huh.
0:38:46 > 0:38:49I feel problems here, round my throat,
0:38:49 > 0:38:52and - did they bring a lot of stuff up?
0:38:52 > 0:38:53Is it a she or a he?
0:38:53 > 0:38:56OK...
0:38:56 > 0:38:58- I'm with a female.- Mm-hm.
0:38:58 > 0:39:00- It's a female.- Mm-hm.- OK?
0:39:00 > 0:39:03He told me about the person that I wanted to hear about.
0:39:03 > 0:39:07She choked on her sick when she was 21, and died.
0:39:07 > 0:39:10He says, "I've got a lot of... like, choking," or...
0:39:10 > 0:39:14It wisnae choking, like, "I've got a lot of stuff here."
0:39:14 > 0:39:17And that was the only thing, and I wanted - she was the most
0:39:17 > 0:39:20person that I wanted to come through, out of anybody.
0:39:20 > 0:39:22But...
0:39:22 > 0:39:24It wisnae enough, if you know what I mean.
0:39:24 > 0:39:27Just as Chris receives a lukewarm review,
0:39:27 > 0:39:30Natalie's friend Aileen is next out.
0:39:30 > 0:39:33- I feel pure stupid, greetin', but... - Silly!
0:39:33 > 0:39:36If he was that bang on with me, I'd be greetin'!
0:39:36 > 0:39:38It was basically...
0:39:38 > 0:39:42He didn't even put the cards out, he didn't even put cards out,
0:39:42 > 0:39:44he just read it, and that was it.
0:39:44 > 0:39:46- Nae cards.- You're joking! - Nae cards put out.
0:39:46 > 0:39:50My da was there all the time, and... And then Joanne.
0:39:50 > 0:39:53He's just spot on, he's good.
0:39:53 > 0:39:55Really, really good, but it's...
0:39:55 > 0:39:57Och, it's OK.
0:39:57 > 0:40:02If I come to a place and I get one person that's extremely happy
0:40:02 > 0:40:05then I feel I've done my job, because she wanted that reading,
0:40:05 > 0:40:08and I think that was an exceptional reading.
0:40:08 > 0:40:11I excelled myself there, and she's well happy.
0:40:11 > 0:40:13Wee Jo just made my life -
0:40:13 > 0:40:16that was my wee brother's girlfriend that died, and...
0:40:16 > 0:40:19A couple of times I've been in and her photo's been turned down,
0:40:19 > 0:40:22or turned to the side, and he said that's her.
0:40:22 > 0:40:24That's her saying that she's there.
0:40:24 > 0:40:26Chris has pulled it out of the bag,
0:40:26 > 0:40:29but in now is his biggest challenge, mum Angie.
0:40:39 > 0:40:44It's six o'clock and Nick has just heard news about Kiddie.
0:40:45 > 0:40:47Kiddie's surfaced.
0:40:47 > 0:40:49He's, er...
0:40:50 > 0:40:54His girlfriend phoned me a few hours ago, and said that he'd
0:40:54 > 0:41:00phoned her, he was ranting a lot of shite, he was really drunk, and...
0:41:00 > 0:41:01then he hung up on her.
0:41:01 > 0:41:03He phoned me.
0:41:03 > 0:41:04I was nice -
0:41:04 > 0:41:06I was like, "Mate, how you doing, are you all right, mate?
0:41:06 > 0:41:08"Are you OK, aye? How are you doing?"
0:41:08 > 0:41:12Fucking patronising myself, but then he started - "Fucking..."
0:41:12 > 0:41:15All that, "Every cunt, fuck yous all.
0:41:15 > 0:41:16"Fuck you!"
0:41:17 > 0:41:19So, he was having a shite time,
0:41:19 > 0:41:22there's been problems with him and his girlfriend the day,
0:41:22 > 0:41:25but overall there's problems with him, you know what I mean?
0:41:25 > 0:41:26And all I can see that's going to happen
0:41:26 > 0:41:29is there's going to be more problems.
0:41:29 > 0:41:30Kiddie may be safe for now,
0:41:30 > 0:41:33but Nick knows how dangerous drink and depression can be.
0:41:33 > 0:41:36I just don't know whether he wants to go to rehab -
0:41:36 > 0:41:37I'll fucking help him go.
0:41:37 > 0:41:39I don't know what we can do to help him, know what I mean?
0:41:39 > 0:41:42If he wants me to start taking him to places that he can help himself,
0:41:42 > 0:41:45I'll start taking him to places he can help himself,
0:41:45 > 0:41:47but he fucking needs to know, he needs to understand.
0:41:47 > 0:41:50He has to want to help himself first, and at this stage, at this stage...
0:41:50 > 0:41:52This is where you can normally get people
0:41:52 > 0:41:53where they want to help themselves,
0:41:53 > 0:41:55this is where I wanted to help myself.
0:41:55 > 0:41:57I went and done something about it, you know what I mean?
0:41:57 > 0:42:00Tomorrow morning, Nick will see if today's events
0:42:00 > 0:42:02have had an effect on Kiddie,
0:42:02 > 0:42:05and if his best friend can still be trusted to stay in Taste.
0:42:05 > 0:42:07He can fucking clean it up in the morning.
0:42:07 > 0:42:09That's his first job!
0:42:09 > 0:42:13Right, can we get this chocolate to fuck, mate. Come on. Let's go.
0:42:15 > 0:42:18Look at you, you're a fucking singer.
0:42:18 > 0:42:19Back at the house party...
0:42:19 > 0:42:22She wants to hug you so badly.
0:42:22 > 0:42:24..Chris is on his last reading of the night...
0:42:24 > 0:42:27- I feel that you were brought here... - Uh-huh.
0:42:27 > 0:42:30..to let you know that she's OK.
0:42:30 > 0:42:34Because she knows that you constantly think of her.
0:42:34 > 0:42:37..and has managed to reduce another client to tears.
0:42:39 > 0:42:41- Tell me I'm wrong. - No, you're right. You are.
0:42:43 > 0:42:46But not everyone has been happy with Chris's reading.
0:42:46 > 0:42:48I want my fucking money back.
0:42:48 > 0:42:50Cos I think he's a liar.
0:42:50 > 0:42:53And I think he's out here to con whoever he can.
0:42:53 > 0:42:57He's an old man, and he's conning us.
0:42:57 > 0:43:00I don't think he's conning people, because your pal got a good reading.
0:43:00 > 0:43:02Aye, but did you?
0:43:02 > 0:43:05All the lassies I've spoke to - he's constantly clock-watching,
0:43:05 > 0:43:08cos he's on £30 every half an hour.
0:43:08 > 0:43:12See, if I was on £30 every half hour, I'd be clock-watching. Hello!
0:43:12 > 0:43:13Hmm.
0:43:13 > 0:43:15Chris has packed up,
0:43:15 > 0:43:19but has no idea that he's about to face his toughest critic.
0:43:19 > 0:43:21Some were OK, some not.
0:43:21 > 0:43:25- I think you done shite, to be honest.- OK.
0:43:25 > 0:43:28And I'm not here to put you down or anything,
0:43:28 > 0:43:30I'm just telling you straight.
0:43:30 > 0:43:34I think you have not got a clue.
0:43:34 > 0:43:38And I think you totally came in here the night
0:43:38 > 0:43:42and you actually robbed us bare-arsed.
0:43:42 > 0:43:45Because everybody that came back the night from your readings
0:43:45 > 0:43:48- were not happy.- Yeah?- Yeah.
0:43:48 > 0:43:52So I don't think you're real, I think you're a charlatan,
0:43:52 > 0:43:55and you're making 30 quid a head out of us the night,
0:43:55 > 0:43:58- and I think you ought to be ashamed of yourself.- OK.
0:43:58 > 0:44:00Because I don't think you can read nobody.
0:44:00 > 0:44:03I think you're doing this to get a living,
0:44:03 > 0:44:06and I'm telling you right now, you have studied nothing.
0:44:06 > 0:44:08And I'm telling you,
0:44:08 > 0:44:13my psychic ability on you is that you're full of shit.
0:44:13 > 0:44:15- Thank you for that, anyway. - Thank you?!
0:44:15 > 0:44:16No, I mean...
0:44:16 > 0:44:20You're walking away with our money the night, and we are...
0:44:20 > 0:44:24The economy's shite, and you're walking away with all our money.
0:44:24 > 0:44:27- OK... - And you're feeling happy about that?
0:44:27 > 0:44:29- I'm sorry you feel like that. - How do you sleep at night?
0:44:29 > 0:44:31Sorry you feel like that.
0:44:31 > 0:44:34Oh, I feel like that. How do you sleep at night?
0:44:34 > 0:44:37When you're walking away with people's money.
0:44:37 > 0:44:39At £30 a fucking head.
0:44:39 > 0:44:42- That's what I'm angry about. - I'm sorry you feel like that.
0:44:42 > 0:44:47- Because you're full of shit.- OK. - Yes. Exactly.
0:44:55 > 0:44:58Oh, I just had to leave, I had to get out of there!
0:44:58 > 0:45:01I thought they were going to hit me or something, you know?
0:45:01 > 0:45:06Just didn't expect that. I don't know what happens when...
0:45:06 > 0:45:09people drink and get angry, or what, I don't know.
0:45:09 > 0:45:13Don't see why I should be treated like that.
0:45:16 > 0:45:19I've just been slagged off in there by the woman of the house,
0:45:19 > 0:45:21screamed at me in the kitchen.
0:45:21 > 0:45:23- Sorry, I wasn't there. - You weren't there?- No.
0:45:23 > 0:45:26Can I ask - she said everybody said the readings were crap...
0:45:26 > 0:45:28- No, mine was spot on.- Was it? - Spot on, mine was spot on.
0:45:28 > 0:45:31You don't have a problem with my reading? No, no.
0:45:31 > 0:45:33I just told the driver, you were spot on.
0:45:33 > 0:45:36- I'm well over the moon with your reading.- Are you going to Partick?
0:45:36 > 0:45:38Cos I'm going down to town.
0:45:38 > 0:45:40But this is only going to Partick, and the town is more - further.
0:45:40 > 0:45:42I can jump in with you, then, if you want.
0:45:42 > 0:45:46- I told you that myself. - Can I jump in then?
0:45:46 > 0:45:49- If you go my way, cos I've got... - I'll go round.
0:45:49 > 0:45:51Right, thanks.
0:45:51 > 0:45:55OK, talk to you soon.
0:45:57 > 0:45:58See?
0:45:58 > 0:46:00See you later, mate.
0:46:02 > 0:46:04Chris has had a tough introduction to Scotland,
0:46:04 > 0:46:07and it's perhaps not the fresh start he was looking for.
0:46:09 > 0:46:12MUSIC: "An Eagle In Your Mind" by Boards of Canada
0:46:19 > 0:46:23The next morning, after his disappearance yesterday,
0:46:23 > 0:46:26Nick's on his way to pick up Kiddie for work.
0:46:29 > 0:46:32I texted him at six and he said he was up sitting drinking a coffee,
0:46:32 > 0:46:35so I've let him sit for fucking an hour and 20 minutes,
0:46:35 > 0:46:36thinking about what he's done.
0:46:36 > 0:46:39Whether his fucking hangover's kicking his back door in.
0:46:39 > 0:46:44And, er... We'll just see what he's got to say for himself this morning.
0:46:48 > 0:46:50- Morning.- Morning!- How are you?
0:46:50 > 0:46:52All right, mate, how are you?
0:46:52 > 0:46:53Er...not good, man.
0:46:53 > 0:46:56You're all right, you're fucking here, man. Time to go to work.
0:46:56 > 0:46:57Let's do it.
0:47:06 > 0:47:07Busy yesterday?
0:47:07 > 0:47:10Busiest day Simon's ever seen, he said.
0:47:13 > 0:47:14Were YOU busy yesterday?!
0:47:16 > 0:47:18Lost the plot a bit, yesterday.
0:47:23 > 0:47:26Know what I mean? It's scary, mate.
0:47:26 > 0:47:28Scary shit.
0:48:19 > 0:48:20- HE SHUDDERS - Morning, guys.
0:48:20 > 0:48:23- Augh!- Go upstairs and get changed next to the heater.
0:48:23 > 0:48:24Give yoursel' a warm up.
0:48:24 > 0:48:26I think I need to go to the doctor's, man.
0:48:26 > 0:48:28Definitely got a bit of depression going on.
0:48:28 > 0:48:31I've had it before. It's no' nice.
0:48:31 > 0:48:32Pick a phone up. Problem solved.
0:48:32 > 0:48:35A problem halved is a problem solved, mate. You know what I mean?
0:48:35 > 0:48:38Don't worry - I was getting all this last night off my mum and dad.
0:48:38 > 0:48:40My mum, especially my mum.
0:48:40 > 0:48:41She got up when I got up this morning,
0:48:41 > 0:48:44just fucking followed me about the house, man.
0:48:44 > 0:48:46"Are you OK? Anything you need to talk about?
0:48:46 > 0:48:49"Talk to me. Don't keep everything bottled up."
0:48:49 > 0:48:52Don't this, don't that. Fucking - "You know we're here to help.
0:48:52 > 0:48:55"Everybody's just fucking worried about you, come, tell us."
0:48:55 > 0:48:56Fuck it, man.
0:48:58 > 0:49:02I think it's still fucking - the drink talking the now.
0:49:02 > 0:49:03I dunno.
0:49:03 > 0:49:05Seriously don't think it's over.
0:49:05 > 0:49:08Not by a fucking long shot.
0:49:08 > 0:49:11What was he saying he was doing yesterday?
0:49:11 > 0:49:14Hitting the old fucking nose candy.
0:49:14 > 0:49:16Drinking all day.
0:49:16 > 0:49:20It's just - how do you help somebody like that?
0:49:35 > 0:49:39In the Savoy, after getting his confidence knocked
0:49:39 > 0:49:43at the house party, the last few days for Chris haven't been good...
0:49:44 > 0:49:46..and he's thinking about leaving.
0:49:46 > 0:49:49I'm going to pop and see Jim and find out what's...
0:49:49 > 0:49:52See this, if I want to go for a pee or anything...
0:49:52 > 0:49:56Chris has been losing business because music and loud noise
0:49:56 > 0:49:59from a nearby hair salon is drowning out his readings,
0:49:59 > 0:50:01and his customers have started walking out.
0:50:01 > 0:50:04Hope the elevator's working.
0:50:04 > 0:50:07He's going to see Jim and Neil to let them know he's had enough.
0:50:07 > 0:50:09All right, OK, pal. Cheers.
0:50:09 > 0:50:12- Is Jim in?- He's just in with somebody just now, Chris.
0:50:12 > 0:50:15I'm prepared to move out, move and work somewhere else. It's horrendous.
0:50:15 > 0:50:17Is it still going? I thought it was...
0:50:17 > 0:50:20- No, it's been worse every day, mate. - Right, I'll go down just now.
0:50:20 > 0:50:22I'm just half in the middle of something just now,
0:50:22 > 0:50:25I need to finish quickly, and I'll come down and see them again.
0:50:25 > 0:50:28- Give me two minutes and I'll come down.- All right.
0:50:28 > 0:50:30Cheers, thanks.
0:50:30 > 0:50:31That's what you get.
0:50:31 > 0:50:33Is it that bad? Is the noise that bad?
0:50:33 > 0:50:36I wouldn't have said it was terrible, but obviously,
0:50:36 > 0:50:38if it's affecting his business, fair enough.
0:50:38 > 0:50:39We'll deal with it.
0:50:39 > 0:50:41I'd like to stay, but...it's noisy.
0:50:41 > 0:50:44I can't do my healing and my therapy work down there.
0:50:44 > 0:50:48The door doesn't lock, which is not their fault, if the door went,
0:50:48 > 0:50:50but it's two days to change it...
0:50:50 > 0:50:52And maybe the universe is saying to leave it.
0:50:52 > 0:50:54OK, I want to nip it in the bud, Neil.
0:50:54 > 0:50:56Yeah, I don't want to lose a retailer.
0:50:56 > 0:50:58Not in a position to lose the retail,
0:50:58 > 0:51:01we cannae lose a retailer over something we can do.
0:51:01 > 0:51:02We can do something about it,
0:51:02 > 0:51:05but I certainly don't want to lose him, he's a good guy.
0:51:07 > 0:51:10Er, I've spoken to Neil, and I didn't...
0:51:10 > 0:51:13I didn't realise you had a problem with the noise.
0:51:13 > 0:51:15Because you've not come back to Neil,
0:51:15 > 0:51:17he's thought that you were happy with it.
0:51:17 > 0:51:19I've told him more that once or twice!
0:51:19 > 0:51:21- Don't give me that crap. - Well, what I'll do...
0:51:21 > 0:51:24I've told him about three times. Look, I lost a client, I told Neil...
0:51:24 > 0:51:27I'm not having you losing any forms of money whatsoever.
0:51:27 > 0:51:29I told Neil, if it didn't get sorted in a week,
0:51:29 > 0:51:32next week I'll be moving out. If I can have quiet, I'm very happy.
0:51:32 > 0:51:35Right, OK, and I'll get him to call Martin about your door handle.
0:51:35 > 0:51:38- OK?- Cheers, mate.
0:51:39 > 0:51:42I think he's giving them that, and you can hear...
0:51:42 > 0:51:45I'd like to stay, but I can only stay if there's not noise.
0:51:53 > 0:51:58In the East End of Glasgow, Melo's housemates have left for the day,
0:51:58 > 0:52:00after more arguing.
0:52:00 > 0:52:03You know why things happen like this, right?
0:52:03 > 0:52:05Why this has happened like this, there we go.
0:52:05 > 0:52:09If you think you've got all the right to be upset at me,
0:52:09 > 0:52:13there we go, my life, it's because I've been mistreated.
0:52:13 > 0:52:18That's why I'm going through things, it's not my fault.
0:52:18 > 0:52:21Maybe my fault is trusting these people.
0:52:21 > 0:52:24Do you think you drink more than a lot of people?
0:52:24 > 0:52:30Yeah, I do drink more than most people.
0:52:30 > 0:52:35Yeah, my mind is always thinking about music,
0:52:35 > 0:52:39I'm always out there playing, and my body's always under demand,
0:52:39 > 0:52:43so it requires drink and food, both.
0:52:43 > 0:52:48Let's not blame alcohol or drugs, because this doesn't think, does it?
0:52:48 > 0:52:52This just doesn't think. You are the one that thinks.
0:52:52 > 0:52:54So if you are the one that thinks,
0:52:54 > 0:52:57why don't you do things in the right way?
0:52:57 > 0:52:59You know what I mean?
0:53:01 > 0:53:03In Scotland, in UK,
0:53:03 > 0:53:06I don't got real friends.
0:53:07 > 0:53:08Yeah.
0:53:33 > 0:53:37Come on, you're still under a minute, Kiddie, let's go.
0:53:37 > 0:53:40In Taste, it's been a month since Kiddie went off the rails.
0:53:40 > 0:53:42Remember, inside the bag, yeah?
0:53:42 > 0:53:45Tea towel or napkin on it. That's a boy.
0:53:45 > 0:53:48Nick was worried that this was the start of a downward spiral,
0:53:48 > 0:53:52but a month on and Kiddie's turned up to work every day.
0:53:52 > 0:53:54Got another ten seconds or he loses his job.
0:53:56 > 0:53:58And he loses all his privileges.
0:53:58 > 0:54:00I'm glad to be back at my work.
0:54:00 > 0:54:02It's amazing when you do something like that,
0:54:02 > 0:54:04you realise how many friends you have,
0:54:04 > 0:54:06how many people run about after you...
0:54:06 > 0:54:08to find out where you are. So, that's...
0:54:08 > 0:54:11It was silly, but it's done now.
0:54:11 > 0:54:14Time will tell, but if I start noticing things in him,
0:54:14 > 0:54:16then I'll just...
0:54:16 > 0:54:19Jobcentre. Know what I mean? Apply for something.
0:54:19 > 0:54:22Er... But no, I think he'll be all right, he'll be cool.
0:54:22 > 0:54:25Don't want to fucking lose him, he's one of my best mates,
0:54:25 > 0:54:26you know what I mean?
0:54:26 > 0:54:28- Can I help you?- No.
0:54:28 > 0:54:31- I hate your guts.- Cheers, pal. - So much.
0:54:38 > 0:54:39At the Savoy,
0:54:39 > 0:54:42it's been a month since Chris was threatening to leave.
0:54:42 > 0:54:43Do you want to do, Charlene,
0:54:43 > 0:54:46a general reading or do you want me to target at specific things,
0:54:46 > 0:54:48like career, health, relationships...?
0:54:48 > 0:54:50- Oh...- Anything specific?
0:54:50 > 0:54:54Chris wasn't sure if the move to Glasgow was the right choice,
0:54:54 > 0:54:58but in the last month, his business has taken off.
0:54:58 > 0:55:01He's slowly made a name for himself in the Savoy,
0:55:01 > 0:55:05and his customers have been queuing outside the door.
0:55:05 > 0:55:06I did dream that, yeah.
0:55:06 > 0:55:08Aye, these cards are Spanish.
0:55:08 > 0:55:11Jim and Neil have moved him into a better unit upstairs,
0:55:11 > 0:55:13and his clients are happy.
0:55:13 > 0:55:16- Brilliant, thank you very much. - Cheers, love.
0:55:16 > 0:55:17It was a very, very different reading.
0:55:17 > 0:55:20I've never, ever experienced a reading like that in my entire life.
0:55:20 > 0:55:23Very different. I'm glad he said what he said. It was good.
0:55:23 > 0:55:28Just got two people, just as I'm moving in,
0:55:28 > 0:55:32and I know they're going to come back and see me, so - I'm happy!
0:55:32 > 0:55:33So...
0:55:33 > 0:55:36Yeah, it feels good up here.
0:55:39 > 0:55:43The last month hasn't been good for everyone in the Savoy.
0:55:43 > 0:55:46My keep fit starts tonight.
0:55:46 > 0:55:49That's my nephew - it was supposed to start months ago.
0:55:49 > 0:55:52"Have you got your cycling shorts looked at?"
0:55:52 > 0:55:55So, it's off to the gym today, a new start today.
0:55:55 > 0:55:59Unfortunately, I've come to the conclusion
0:55:59 > 0:56:05that I need to move on in my working life, so at the moment, I'm...
0:56:05 > 0:56:09drafting an e-mail to my operations manager in Liverpool,
0:56:09 > 0:56:14with a resignation letter that's basically...
0:56:14 > 0:56:17I'm handing my notice in, so...
0:56:17 > 0:56:20The time has come that I really need to be honest with myself,
0:56:20 > 0:56:22and be honest with the company as well, because it's not any good
0:56:22 > 0:56:27for the company if they've got an employee who's struggling, as I am.
0:56:27 > 0:56:29I liken it to - it's like a boxer.
0:56:29 > 0:56:32You go in every morning and you get punch after punch after punch,
0:56:32 > 0:56:35and you get up and you go down, you're up, you're down...
0:56:35 > 0:56:38And there's only so long your body can take that.
0:56:38 > 0:56:41And maybe that's just where it is.
0:56:41 > 0:56:45It's maybe just a three-year life span, I don't know.
0:56:45 > 0:56:48I don't know, I just feel as though, now, that I'm in a corner,
0:56:48 > 0:56:51I'm on the ropes, and I've nowhere to go.
0:56:51 > 0:56:52Good. Good man, good man.
0:56:52 > 0:56:55What do you think the future is for the Savoy?
0:56:55 > 0:56:56You know, we've tried the Sunday opening,
0:56:56 > 0:56:58which clearly has not worked.
0:56:58 > 0:57:00I don't know what the future is for the Savoy.
0:57:00 > 0:57:02I'd like to think the future's really good.
0:57:02 > 0:57:05It's been through tough times in the past,
0:57:05 > 0:57:08and I daresay it'll come out the other end, you know, fine.
0:57:12 > 0:57:14Since filming, Chris has left the Savoy,
0:57:14 > 0:57:17and is planning to move his business abroad,
0:57:17 > 0:57:18to Belize.
0:57:18 > 0:57:22So, this is us - we're going to fly away to the sun.
0:57:22 > 0:57:24Chris, not on TV!
0:57:25 > 0:57:26You see!
0:57:26 > 0:57:29He's split up from his wife and twin flame Kes,
0:57:29 > 0:57:32so this time he'll be moving on alone.
0:57:34 > 0:57:38And Jim left the Savoy to go into business for himself once more.
0:57:38 > 0:57:40Next time on The Street...
0:57:40 > 0:57:42Can you get it?
0:57:42 > 0:57:44Can we get some fucking help?! Come on!
0:57:44 > 0:57:46Nick has a plan to turn Taste around...
0:57:46 > 0:57:49Hope I'm right. Hope this is the fucking thing that I'm right about,
0:57:49 > 0:57:50you know what I mean?
0:57:50 > 0:57:53..by risking thousands of pounds on a new idea...
0:57:53 > 0:57:56Ordered too much pig. There you go, I've ordered too much pig.
0:57:56 > 0:57:58What the fuck do you want me to do?
0:57:58 > 0:58:02Sauchiehall Street's own secretive artist called Bullet Beard
0:58:02 > 0:58:05tries to avoid the attention of the police...
0:58:05 > 0:58:07but his identity is finally revealed.
0:58:07 > 0:58:10MAN SHOUTS If you ever want to threaten me, I'll batter you.
0:58:10 > 0:58:13Melo has a run in with another busker...
0:58:13 > 0:58:15You got a big mouth, that's your problem.
0:58:15 > 0:58:17You've got a big mouth.
0:58:17 > 0:58:19..and it looks like he might be moving on again...
0:58:19 > 0:58:22but this time, to prison.
0:58:22 > 0:58:23THEY SHOUT
0:58:23 > 0:58:27And the pastors are out, as Sauchiehall Street kicks off.
0:58:27 > 0:58:31- These are going five against one! - Oi, oi!
0:58:31 > 0:58:35Control, we need an ambulance, a boy's been knocked out. Over.
