0:00:26 > 0:00:30My name is Frank, and this is my family home,

0:00:30 > 0:00:3232 Brinkburn Street.

0:00:32 > 0:00:36It's 1931, the year before I was born,

0:00:36 > 0:00:40when the world was a very different place from today.

0:00:40 > 0:00:44But some things never change - family is family,

0:00:44 > 0:00:46and all families have secrets.

0:00:46 > 0:00:49Mine is no exception.

0:00:49 > 0:00:51That's my sister, Nora.

0:00:55 > 0:00:59And that's my mother, Gracie, on the worst night of her life.

0:01:00 > 0:01:03And this is the story of my family,

0:01:03 > 0:01:06then and now.

0:01:54 > 0:01:56No-one talks about this.

0:01:58 > 0:01:59Ever.

0:02:37 > 0:02:41Oh, I'm tired this morning, Gracie.

0:02:41 > 0:02:44I didn't get much sleep, what with all that snoring.

0:02:44 > 0:02:48- I'm so tired I could sleep on a clothes line.- Sit down, Mam.

0:02:48 > 0:02:50Are you watching?

0:02:52 > 0:02:55Oh, where's it gone, where's it gone?!

0:02:55 > 0:02:57- Nora!- You'll have her wild!

0:02:57 > 0:03:01No, love, I can't digest standing up.

0:03:01 > 0:03:03Why don't you sit down then, Mam?

0:03:03 > 0:03:05I'd freeze to death over there!

0:03:05 > 0:03:09No, no. Though you would think, this being my house,

0:03:09 > 0:03:12I might be able to choose where I sit.

0:03:13 > 0:03:15Walter!

0:03:18 > 0:03:20Thank you.

0:03:27 > 0:03:28Ooh, I might have a spot to eat after all.

0:03:28 > 0:03:31Anyone seen Violet this morning?

0:03:31 > 0:03:33I swear I'll swing for that girl.

0:03:34 > 0:03:37Poppy!

0:03:40 > 0:03:42'Oh, and this is me.'

0:03:42 > 0:03:43KNOCKING

0:03:43 > 0:03:45- Enter.- Frank, you haven't seen Poppy, have you?

0:03:45 > 0:03:47No, not this morning.

0:03:47 > 0:03:51I don't know where she is, I'm looking.

0:03:52 > 0:03:54I don't...

0:04:23 > 0:04:25Poppy!

0:04:28 > 0:04:30Pops!

0:04:44 > 0:04:46I, I can't find her, Jen, I'm sorry...

0:04:48 > 0:04:50Yeah, yeah, I know what time it is there.

0:04:50 > 0:04:53I'll make sure she's around next time...

0:04:56 > 0:04:59Listen, Jen, you didn't manage to wire that money over yet, did you?

0:05:02 > 0:05:04No. No worries, it's not urgent.

0:05:09 > 0:05:12- It's like she's invisible! - Was that Jenny? What did she say?

0:05:12 > 0:05:15She's only been here a couple of days and she's already disappearing.

0:05:15 > 0:05:18- Nick! Did you ask Jenny about the money?- Yeah, yeah, yeah.

0:05:18 > 0:05:20She's sending it today.

0:05:20 > 0:05:24About time. I'm assuming she doesn't want her daughter to starve.

0:05:24 > 0:05:25- Ellie.- What?

0:05:25 > 0:05:29I'm just saying there is a big difference between Poppy staying

0:05:29 > 0:05:33here every other weekend and becoming a permanent fixture, that's all.

0:05:33 > 0:05:35We're going to need some extra... Oh.

0:05:39 > 0:05:42Dad! Are you missing anything?

0:05:43 > 0:05:45Violet, breakfast!

0:05:49 > 0:05:50Right, I can't stay on for long.

0:05:50 > 0:05:54It takes longer to get to school now I'm at Castle Dullsville.

0:05:54 > 0:05:59- 'But you'll be there tonight?' - Yeah, course I will - I wouldn't miss your last night, would I?

0:05:59 > 0:06:03Oh, I've bought a dress especially.

0:06:03 > 0:06:05- I think you'll like it.- 'Mmm, nice.

0:06:05 > 0:06:10'It's going to go off tonight! I've booked the backroom at the Spark and Daz is bringing his decks.'

0:06:10 > 0:06:11Ooh, sick.

0:06:11 > 0:06:16- 'Your dad's said yeah, right?' - Yeah, he will. He can't expect me to stay in this dump all night.

0:06:16 > 0:06:19'Don't believe it's as bad as you make out.'

0:06:19 > 0:06:22Think about the worst old ladies' room you've ever seen, then double it.

0:06:22 > 0:06:25The stupid floorboards aren't even straight.

0:06:26 > 0:06:29It's like it's never been touched in 1,000 years. Look.

0:06:39 > 0:06:40Violet! Now!

0:06:51 > 0:06:53- That tickles!- Does it now?

0:06:53 > 0:06:55Well, how about this?

0:06:59 > 0:07:02You've missed breakfast.

0:07:02 > 0:07:06Oh, no, where's the comb? Violet's going to have tatty hair.

0:07:06 > 0:07:08Oh, Mam! Tell him! He's being a horrible pig.

0:07:08 > 0:07:12Don't cheek your father. And get up earlier if you want feeding.

0:07:12 > 0:07:16- It's not like I've got work to go to, is it?- And that's one day's pay you've cost us.

0:07:16 > 0:07:18It's not my fault the machine broke, is it?

0:07:18 > 0:07:22- Can I go to the pictures tonight, Mam?- Not likely.

0:07:22 > 0:07:25If she can't enjoy herself now, when can she? What's on, love?

0:07:25 > 0:07:29- Dracula.- You don't want to go watching films about foreigners.

0:07:29 > 0:07:33Well, when they set something good in Manchester, I'll go and see that. Can I, Mam?

0:07:33 > 0:07:36- Violet, give your gob a rest, will you?- I've got my own money!

0:07:36 > 0:07:38You can't spend it though, can you?

0:07:38 > 0:07:42- Not when we're getting cut back! - Starting when?

0:07:45 > 0:07:48When were you going to tell me? How long's it going to last?

0:07:48 > 0:07:50- A few weeks.- Can I go though?

0:07:50 > 0:07:52You can stay right here and make yourself useful!

0:07:52 > 0:07:55- I'll give you a list, you can go to the co-op.- What, now?

0:07:55 > 0:07:57No, first you can sort out the fire.

0:08:08 > 0:08:12You used to like the flicks, didn't you, Gracie, love?

0:08:14 > 0:08:16And the dances. All those nice lads after you.

0:08:17 > 0:08:21You could have had your pick, and this house could have been yours.

0:08:22 > 0:08:26Instead, look what you have lumbered yourself with.

0:08:32 > 0:08:36Mmmm... now that's what I call minty fresh.

0:08:36 > 0:08:38You can't keep leaving them in there, Dad.

0:08:38 > 0:08:41Why not? You think they're going to eat everything in the night?

0:08:42 > 0:08:46- I found him on his sticks again. - Hey!

0:08:46 > 0:08:48Me legs might not work, but me ears do!

0:08:48 > 0:08:52I'm just worried, Dad. That's why we're here, to look after you.

0:08:52 > 0:08:54I know, I know.

0:08:54 > 0:08:58- Well, if you know, start behaving yourself, please! - There you go, Frank.

0:08:58 > 0:09:02- Ah. You missed your mum on the phone. - Shower.

0:09:04 > 0:09:09- Right. Well, I've got to get going. So do you want to come with me?- No.

0:09:09 > 0:09:11OK, I'll see you all tonight.

0:09:12 > 0:09:15- We've got to speak later. Yeah? OK.- All right.

0:09:15 > 0:09:19- Bye, Dad.- Bye.- There you go.

0:09:19 > 0:09:20SHE HUMS

0:09:20 > 0:09:24- Why's she literally humming to herself?- I have literally no idea.

0:09:26 > 0:09:30- Dad...- The answer's no.- You don't know what I'm going to ask.

0:09:30 > 0:09:33Yes, I do. You've asked me the same question every day for a week - no.

0:09:33 > 0:09:38- But it's Mikey's last night before he goes to Edinburgh.- Ah(!) No!- I need to be there!

0:09:38 > 0:09:40- Poppy! School!- Yes, sir(!)

0:09:40 > 0:09:43Oh, young love, eh?

0:09:43 > 0:09:48- Something like that.- So, are you going to be spending the rest of the day on Myface or what?

0:09:52 > 0:09:55No, Frank. But I will be building some new websites.

0:09:55 > 0:09:58It's a big day for me too.

0:09:58 > 0:10:01- Yeah?- Going to sort through some photographs.

0:10:01 > 0:10:03You can help if you like?

0:10:03 > 0:10:05Be still my beating heart.

0:10:13 > 0:10:16We need to lie low for a couple of weeks and then get to London...

0:10:16 > 0:10:20They're looking for two Irishmen, that's all it says.

0:10:22 > 0:10:23Any descriptions?

0:10:26 > 0:10:28"Two Irishmen". That's it.

0:10:31 > 0:10:33I'll get us a wireless.

0:10:33 > 0:10:36That way we'll hear any news quicker.

0:10:36 > 0:10:38- Where'll you stay?- Somewhere local.

0:10:38 > 0:10:41And what are you going to call yourself this time?

0:10:43 > 0:10:45I was thinking "Sid".

0:10:45 > 0:10:47Sid.

0:10:52 > 0:10:56- Morning. - Oh, someone's in a good mood!

0:10:56 > 0:10:59Things going better chez Dad, I take it?

0:10:59 > 0:11:03Yeah! If you like your breakfast with extra dentures.

0:11:03 > 0:11:08No, it's all right really, you know. Well, it is for me, because I can leave the house.

0:11:08 > 0:11:11Nick's the one I feel sorry for.

0:11:11 > 0:11:13All these business worries are one thing.

0:11:13 > 0:11:17But ending up living with your second wife's father. It can't be easy on his ego.

0:11:17 > 0:11:20Yeah, but think of all the money you'll save.

0:11:20 > 0:11:24Yeah. And it looks like we're going to need the extra cash.

0:11:29 > 0:11:33I said, "it looks like we're going to need that extra cash".

0:11:33 > 0:11:35- No! Seriously?- Yeah.

0:11:38 > 0:11:42Ohhh. Oh, June. It's the third time today.

0:12:12 > 0:12:14I was like this with both of my two.

0:12:14 > 0:12:16Ginger biscuits. That's what you need.

0:12:16 > 0:12:19And you know the biggest secret of all?

0:12:19 > 0:12:22The one that parents'll never admit?

0:12:22 > 0:12:28Little kids, even the cute ones, are very, very boring.

0:12:30 > 0:12:32Welcome to motherhood!

0:12:46 > 0:12:49- Who was that?- Who?

0:12:49 > 0:12:51- Who is he, Violet? - Just some Thick Mick.

0:12:51 > 0:12:53What was he saying to you?

0:12:53 > 0:12:56Nothing, he was just asking for lodgings, that's all.

0:12:56 > 0:12:57Well, put it away then.

0:13:00 > 0:13:04- I'll do tea tonight too, if you want.- You're not going, Violet.

0:13:04 > 0:13:06- Oh, why?- You know why.

0:14:12 > 0:14:13Heads!

0:14:15 > 0:14:17Heads! Heads! Another one, heads.

0:14:17 > 0:14:19Always a pleasure, lads.

0:14:25 > 0:14:27That's a lot of money you've got there, Walter.

0:14:27 > 0:14:29Billy.

0:14:29 > 0:14:31Look, it was a fair win.

0:14:31 > 0:14:33Well, nobody's saying it wasn't.

0:14:35 > 0:14:37Walter!

0:14:38 > 0:14:41Aren't you forgetting something?

0:14:42 > 0:14:44A little matter of the money you owe me?

0:14:58 > 0:14:59Get him!

0:15:23 > 0:15:25HE PANTS

0:15:32 > 0:15:36I can assure you that invoice has not been paid.

0:15:36 > 0:15:38I'm looking at it now.

0:15:38 > 0:15:40Yes...

0:15:40 > 0:15:42Yeah.

0:15:42 > 0:15:44No, I understand that.

0:15:46 > 0:15:47Yeah.

0:15:57 > 0:15:59Yeah, cheers. Bye.

0:15:59 > 0:16:01Frank...

0:16:01 > 0:16:05The whole point of getting you this chair is that you can use it.

0:16:05 > 0:16:09Yeah, yeah. I'm fine, I'm fine. I just overshot, that's all.

0:16:09 > 0:16:10I'll get out of your way.

0:16:11 > 0:16:13Oop...

0:16:14 > 0:16:18- Look, I'll sort it. - Just...sit...down!

0:16:18 > 0:16:19Please.

0:16:19 > 0:16:22All fingers and thumbs these days.

0:16:22 > 0:16:24It's fine, Frank. It's fine.

0:16:24 > 0:16:28Just... Can I just get a few minutes, yeah?

0:16:28 > 0:16:31Yeah. Sorry.

0:16:45 > 0:16:48Cheers, Ernie.

0:16:48 > 0:16:52- And if Billy Lamb comes in, you've not seen me. Right?- Right.

0:17:23 > 0:17:25Violet!

0:17:40 > 0:17:42Ohhh!

0:17:42 > 0:17:45- What's the matter with you?- Nothing.

0:17:46 > 0:17:51Only enjoyment I get is a nice drop of milk with my tea,

0:17:51 > 0:17:54and your husband saw fit to polish it all off this morning.

0:17:56 > 0:17:57My, is that the time?

0:17:57 > 0:17:59It's getting on.

0:17:59 > 0:18:02- He'll be on his way. - Oh, I'm sure he will.

0:18:02 > 0:18:04Mind you...

0:18:04 > 0:18:07next door's man, he works in the warehouses too.

0:18:07 > 0:18:10He's always home on time.

0:18:10 > 0:18:12And what was he talking about this morning?

0:18:12 > 0:18:16How long do you think he's going to have a job at all?

0:18:16 > 0:18:18I'll go get you the milk.

0:18:18 > 0:18:20- I don't want any milk.- You do!

0:18:20 > 0:18:21DOOR CLOSES

0:18:21 > 0:18:23WALTER WHISTLES CHEERFULLY

0:18:24 > 0:18:26Here she is, me little darlin'.

0:18:27 > 0:18:30For my good lady wife...

0:18:30 > 0:18:33- How did you get this?- Three guesses.

0:18:35 > 0:18:36And...

0:18:38 > 0:18:40How?

0:18:42 > 0:18:44I was owed.

0:18:44 > 0:18:46Off...Harry Green.

0:18:46 > 0:18:48What for?

0:18:48 > 0:18:51Well, it were a few months back and he were short.

0:18:51 > 0:18:53I didn't tell you cos I knew you'd hit the roof.

0:18:53 > 0:18:56But fair dues to the man, he paid me back every penny -

0:18:56 > 0:18:57and I saw this in a shop,

0:18:57 > 0:19:02and I thought, "No - Gracie deserves something nice.

0:19:02 > 0:19:03"Something to tell her

0:19:03 > 0:19:06"how much she means to me."

0:19:06 > 0:19:09Now, I know you'll go mad but I did haggle with the bloke.

0:19:10 > 0:19:13# And it's oh, dear, me

0:19:13 > 0:19:16# What am I gonna do?

0:19:16 > 0:19:20# Sally stole away my heart completely....

0:19:20 > 0:19:24- Pack it in, you daft lump! - # And I'll never get it back

0:19:24 > 0:19:26# For she goes with Mr Black

0:19:26 > 0:19:30# And they say he's going to marry Sally Wheatley... #

0:19:30 > 0:19:33(You can thank me properly later.)

0:19:53 > 0:19:55Ooh, actu... Whoa...

0:20:02 > 0:20:04Listen, Frank.

0:20:04 > 0:20:06I'm sorry about before. You've been really good to us and...

0:20:06 > 0:20:09- I'm a nuisance. I know I am. - You're no such thing.

0:20:09 > 0:20:11Look, I'm just glad to have your company.

0:20:12 > 0:20:14Do you want to er...

0:20:14 > 0:20:16do you want to have a look through a few of these?

0:20:20 > 0:20:21What do we have here...?

0:20:21 > 0:20:23HE LAUGHS Is that you?

0:20:23 > 0:20:26Yes. If I'd known I were that good looking,

0:20:26 > 0:20:27I'd have had all the confidence in the world.

0:20:27 > 0:20:31Well, it obviously impressed your wife. She is stunning!

0:20:32 > 0:20:35And how cute is Ellie?

0:20:36 > 0:20:38Is this... Is this Grandma Gracie?

0:20:40 > 0:20:45Ellie takes after her a lot. I think that's why they got on so well.

0:20:45 > 0:20:47Me, on the other hand, I take after me dad, Walter.

0:20:47 > 0:20:51- Inherited HIS looks, unfortunately. - Who's this?

0:20:54 > 0:20:57Do you know, I don't know.

0:20:59 > 0:21:03- D'you know Ellie was born in this house?- Yeah, I know.

0:21:03 > 0:21:06And we've re-invaded and taken everything over.

0:21:06 > 0:21:09- I'm really sorry, Frank. - I wouldn't have it any other way.

0:21:10 > 0:21:12It's been...

0:21:12 > 0:21:17I find it hard to juggle everything, you know? The business, Poppy,

0:21:17 > 0:21:19trying to have a baby, you...

0:21:20 > 0:21:22Here, Frank.

0:21:22 > 0:21:23But...

0:21:24 > 0:21:26..I will get better.

0:21:43 > 0:21:45'We need milk. You can go.'

0:21:46 > 0:21:48Me?

0:21:48 > 0:21:50- Violet!- Just...

0:21:50 > 0:21:52Please. Here.

0:21:52 > 0:21:54Go borrow some.

0:21:58 > 0:22:02- Mind, she's quiet up them stairs. - Tea won't be long, Mam.

0:22:10 > 0:22:14All right, lads? We can sort this, I don't want any bad feeling with you boys...

0:22:15 > 0:22:16Billy!

0:22:16 > 0:22:18Hey, we can sort this out, can't we, Billy?

0:22:18 > 0:22:20Can't we?

0:22:23 > 0:22:25Billy... Billy... I'll get you the money.

0:22:26 > 0:22:28Hey, there's no need for that!

0:22:28 > 0:22:29Aagh!

0:22:35 > 0:22:39You really should have just paid up, Walter...

0:22:40 > 0:22:41Silly boy!

0:22:43 > 0:22:45See you later, Wally.

0:22:48 > 0:22:50Hey! Leave him!

0:22:55 > 0:22:56WALTER GASPS AND GROANS

0:23:02 > 0:23:05You all right, mate? Oh, they've done a proper job on you.

0:23:07 > 0:23:09No offence, Paddy...

0:23:09 > 0:23:11but go to hell.

0:23:24 > 0:23:26Have a good day? Mm?

0:23:31 > 0:23:33SHE GIGGLES

0:23:33 > 0:23:35Well...it just got a lot better.

0:23:37 > 0:23:40I think it's going to get better still.

0:23:40 > 0:23:42I'm pregnant.

0:23:44 > 0:23:45When...?

0:23:46 > 0:23:49- How?- How?!

0:23:49 > 0:23:52I can't believe it!

0:23:52 > 0:23:54Well done you.

0:23:54 > 0:23:57You know what this means...

0:23:58 > 0:24:00We're a family.

0:24:02 > 0:24:04Well done, you! Well done!

0:24:04 > 0:24:06Well done.

0:24:06 > 0:24:07Right...

0:24:08 > 0:24:11OK. Right. We need to sort out bedrooms. Erm...

0:24:11 > 0:24:13- Hang on! - We'll put Poppy in the attic,

0:24:13 > 0:24:15I'm sure Frank won't mind... You should tell him now.

0:24:15 > 0:24:19- After dinner.- He'll be like a kid at Christmas. Frank...!

0:24:19 > 0:24:22- I'll tell him when I've got a definite result, Nick.- Wha...?

0:24:22 > 0:24:24Tell me that you've done a test?

0:24:24 > 0:24:26Oh, I've got one. Look. I've got three, actually,

0:24:26 > 0:24:29just in case. But I know I am, Nick.

0:24:29 > 0:24:31I know I am. I can feel it.

0:24:31 > 0:24:33I've been sick three times today...

0:24:33 > 0:24:36- I think you should do a test. Right now.- OK. Well, let's have a coffee...

0:24:36 > 0:24:39- Just to make sure. - But I need a full bladder.

0:24:41 > 0:24:43Just let me have a drink.

0:24:44 > 0:24:46Ellie, please.

0:24:51 > 0:24:53I know I am.

0:24:58 > 0:24:59SHE HURRIES UPSTAIRS

0:25:08 > 0:25:10Oww! Careful, woman!

0:25:10 > 0:25:12Can you move it?

0:25:13 > 0:25:16How could you have got yourself into a mess like this?

0:25:16 > 0:25:19Me? Look, I'm the victim here!

0:25:19 > 0:25:22Attacked from behind. It's getting rough round these parts.

0:25:22 > 0:25:25- Hey, where you going? - Where do you think?

0:25:26 > 0:25:29- You have been paying Dr Lloyd every month?- What do you think I am?!

0:25:30 > 0:25:33- Blood and sand! - Oh, don't start, woman.

0:25:33 > 0:25:36Oh, look at the state of that,

0:25:36 > 0:25:38you'll never get that clean, Gracie.

0:25:38 > 0:25:42- He'll lose that arm, I'm telling you now.- Keep it clean till I get back.

0:25:43 > 0:25:46Gangrene...then that'll be that.

0:25:46 > 0:25:48And if it gets hold, that's the end of him!

0:25:48 > 0:25:52- Thanks(!)- He won't get gangrene. He might well die of starvation, though!

0:25:52 > 0:25:56- I'll be all right in a few days. - You'll be lucky if you're back to work next month.

0:25:56 > 0:25:59- Look at the state of you!- If he don't end up deformed, I'll eat me hat.

0:26:00 > 0:26:02Gracie... Argh!

0:26:29 > 0:26:32I said I'd be there, babe, and I will.

0:26:33 > 0:26:35I know! My dad's MY problem.

0:26:36 > 0:26:39I will sort it. I promise.

0:26:50 > 0:26:52Love you, bye.

0:26:58 > 0:27:01Oh...careful, Frank. Watch yourself!

0:27:01 > 0:27:04Ah. Poppy. Just the ticket. Can you do me a favour?

0:27:04 > 0:27:07Just nip down to the newsagent's, and put that in the window.

0:27:09 > 0:27:11- You OK?- Yeah, fine.

0:27:11 > 0:27:13Just to help your dad out.

0:27:13 > 0:27:15Oh, right, yeah, anything to help HIM.

0:27:46 > 0:27:48- Hello, sweetheart. - All right, gorgeous?

0:27:48 > 0:27:50WOLF WHISTLE

0:27:51 > 0:27:53You got the letter then?

0:27:54 > 0:27:57- You smell good.- Do I?

0:27:58 > 0:28:00Not as good as you taste, though.

0:28:01 > 0:28:02Go on with you!

0:28:16 > 0:28:18Are you all set? For the flight?

0:28:18 > 0:28:20Yes...

0:28:22 > 0:28:24- I hate this.- I know.

0:28:25 > 0:28:30I wish I could have done something - but these rules with the visa...

0:28:31 > 0:28:35I guess... I guess we always knew it was going to come to an end.

0:28:36 > 0:28:39You promise you'll come and visit at Christmas?

0:28:39 > 0:28:42Yes. Even sooner.

0:28:48 > 0:28:50Look...I'm going to have to go.

0:28:55 > 0:28:57So, this is it...

0:28:57 > 0:28:58The end of our amazing year.

0:29:14 > 0:29:17Stop fussing. I'm fine.

0:29:17 > 0:29:20It'll happen.

0:29:20 > 0:29:23I know.

0:29:23 > 0:29:25It's probably stress,

0:29:25 > 0:29:28you know? The business, the move...

0:29:28 > 0:29:31Things have calmed down now,

0:29:31 > 0:29:34so it'll be a lot easier.

0:29:34 > 0:29:36I know, you're right.

0:29:36 > 0:29:40Absolutely right. And I'm still young enough.

0:29:40 > 0:29:45Still young enough, gorgeous and looking better every day.

0:29:45 > 0:29:48And I know you find me devastatingly attractive.

0:29:48 > 0:29:50SHE LAUGHS

0:29:50 > 0:29:53So, it shouldn't be too much of a hardship trying.

0:29:58 > 0:30:03- Oh, that smells good. What is it? - It's carrot and lentil soup, Dad.

0:30:03 > 0:30:07- Oh, lentils give me awful wind. Trust me.- Fine.

0:30:07 > 0:30:11One carrot and lentil soup, minus lentils, coming up.

0:30:11 > 0:30:14There's something I wanted to say. Would you, erm...

0:30:16 > 0:30:19- You OK?- Yeah, yeah. I know things have been a bit difficult

0:30:19 > 0:30:22- since you moved back in, and...- Oh, well...

0:30:22 > 0:30:26- It turns out I need more time than Nick can give me.- Frank...

0:30:26 > 0:30:27So, I've sorted it.

0:30:27 > 0:30:29I've advertised for a carer.

0:30:29 > 0:30:33- You don't...- Just part-time. The advert's already up.

0:30:33 > 0:30:39It means I've got somebody to pester whenever I want and it takes the strain off Nick.

0:30:39 > 0:30:41I'm looking forward to it, actually.

0:30:41 > 0:30:43The advert was very specific.

0:30:56 > 0:30:59Are we going to...you know?

0:30:59 > 0:31:02- Is that all you ever want?- What?

0:31:02 > 0:31:05At least give me a drink first.

0:31:17 > 0:31:20I tried to clean it as best I could, Dr Lloyd.

0:31:20 > 0:31:23Just keep an eye on it.

0:31:23 > 0:31:26I'll leave you some dressings.

0:31:26 > 0:31:29Now, let's get this bone set.

0:31:32 > 0:31:33This isn't going to hurt, is it?

0:31:33 > 0:31:35Don't be daft, of course not.

0:31:45 > 0:31:47Agh!

0:32:02 > 0:32:04You're my girl, Violet Ogilvie.

0:32:06 > 0:32:07Get away with you!

0:32:18 > 0:32:19I'm just off to Sarah's.

0:32:19 > 0:32:22- Sarah who? - Sarah Davis. From school.

0:32:22 > 0:32:23She's helping with my maths.

0:32:23 > 0:32:26That's very kind of her. Where does Sarah Davis live?

0:32:26 > 0:32:29The Grove. You can ring her if you like.

0:32:29 > 0:32:31OK, then.

0:32:31 > 0:32:33Just make sure you're back by ten.

0:32:33 > 0:32:36Oh, Poppy!

0:32:40 > 0:32:42Do you want to show us what you're wearing?

0:32:42 > 0:32:43What?

0:32:43 > 0:32:46Show us what you're wearing to do your maths homework.

0:32:53 > 0:32:56What do you think, Frank? Maths homework.

0:32:56 > 0:32:57Nice try, Poppy.

0:32:57 > 0:33:00Dad, I'll only go for a bit. I'll be back by 11, I promise.

0:33:00 > 0:33:03- It's his last night.- He said "no". - What's it to you? Why not?

0:33:03 > 0:33:05Don't talk to Ellie like that.

0:33:05 > 0:33:07Well, she's not my mum. Why not?

0:33:07 > 0:33:10I'm a man who used to be an 18-year-old, that's why not.

0:33:10 > 0:33:11He's not like you. He's different.

0:33:11 > 0:33:15Yeah, they're all different, that's why they're all the same. You're 15, Pops!

0:33:15 > 0:33:17What? Do you want me to be miserable?

0:33:17 > 0:33:19Just go and get changed, please.

0:33:19 > 0:33:21You're pathetic! Seriously!

0:33:44 > 0:33:47Sorry, madam. I was just wondering if you had any lodgings?

0:33:47 > 0:33:51- You scared the life out of me! - I'm really sorry.- Try the pub.

0:33:51 > 0:33:54Ask for Jack, he'll help you out.

0:33:54 > 0:33:57Thanks. That's exactly what I'll do.

0:34:01 > 0:34:02It looks really good.

0:34:11 > 0:34:15It wouldn't do any harm to give her a bit more freedom, you know.

0:34:15 > 0:34:18- Maybe you should meet him before you pass judgment.- I have met him.

0:34:18 > 0:34:22No, you've not, Nick. You've just seen them holding hands. You haven't spoken with him.

0:34:22 > 0:34:25- I don't need to. - Look, she's a sensible kid.

0:34:25 > 0:34:28Yeah, and she's my kid, and I said no!

0:34:33 > 0:34:37Look, I know you mean well,

0:34:37 > 0:34:39- but you don't know what it's like. - No, you're right, I don't.

0:34:39 > 0:34:41Because she's your kid, isn't she?

0:34:45 > 0:34:47I didn't mean it like that,

0:34:47 > 0:34:50I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

0:34:51 > 0:34:53It's fine.

0:34:57 > 0:34:59More rest. That's what we need.

0:34:59 > 0:35:02This new carer will help.

0:35:02 > 0:35:05Do you know what? Maybe we should just

0:35:05 > 0:35:08forget about all this baby stuff for a while,

0:35:08 > 0:35:11take the pressure off.

0:35:11 > 0:35:13Maybe that's the key.

0:35:15 > 0:35:17Sodding kids, eh?

0:35:26 > 0:35:29Nora?

0:35:29 > 0:35:30Dad, is the bone poking out?

0:35:30 > 0:35:34- Not any more. - Can I see?- I've got to go somewhere.

0:35:34 > 0:35:38I don't want you telling your mother that I've gone.

0:35:42 > 0:35:44No, no, that'd be lovely.

0:35:44 > 0:35:46Yeah, I'll see you tomorrow then, Joy.

0:35:48 > 0:35:50Popsicle! Come in, come in.

0:35:50 > 0:35:53That advert worked.

0:35:53 > 0:35:55Hey...

0:35:55 > 0:35:57What's this?

0:35:57 > 0:35:59Hey?

0:35:59 > 0:36:03I don't mean the tears. I mean this!

0:36:04 > 0:36:07If only I could do that with boyfriends, eh?

0:36:09 > 0:36:11Have you ever been in love, Frank?

0:36:11 > 0:36:15Oh, boy, yes! I was about your age.

0:36:15 > 0:36:19Peggy Carter, she was called. Well, I thought I was in love

0:36:19 > 0:36:21and then her best mate walked into the room.

0:36:21 > 0:36:23Then I was in love, She took my breath away.

0:36:23 > 0:36:28I've a photograph of her here on our wedding day.

0:36:28 > 0:36:30Oh, wow! Gosh, she looks like Ellie.

0:36:30 > 0:36:34She was the most beautiful woman I've ever seen in my life.

0:36:34 > 0:36:36Did Ellie ever get mad with you?

0:36:36 > 0:36:39Somebody once said that if your children have

0:36:39 > 0:36:42never hated you at some point, then you've never been a parent.

0:36:44 > 0:36:47I hope me and Mickey are as happy as this on our wedding day.

0:36:47 > 0:36:50Of course you will be, sweetheart, of course you will.

0:36:50 > 0:36:53You're like a proper granddad.

0:36:53 > 0:36:55I am.

0:36:55 > 0:36:58Nora?

0:36:58 > 0:37:00Bed.

0:37:00 > 0:37:02- Oh, why?- Because I said!

0:37:02 > 0:37:05And quiet going up, no waking your poor dad.

0:37:05 > 0:37:06He's not even in.

0:37:14 > 0:37:16Oi. Can I not even have a pint in peace?

0:37:16 > 0:37:18What did Dr Lloyd say to you?

0:37:18 > 0:37:21- Rest!- He'll say owt for sixpence.

0:37:21 > 0:37:24I need a drink for the pain, darling.

0:37:24 > 0:37:26How does playing cards help with a broken arm?

0:37:26 > 0:37:30Do you not think you've got yourself into enough trouble gambling?

0:37:30 > 0:37:31You think...?

0:37:31 > 0:37:34Darling, how could you? Does it look like we're playing for money?

0:37:34 > 0:37:36You'll not mind if I mix these up a bit then?

0:37:39 > 0:37:47- You lying, scheming hound.- Gracie...

0:37:51 > 0:37:55- You still looking for a room?- Yeah.

0:38:18 > 0:38:20Is this somebody's room?

0:38:20 > 0:38:22Cos I don't want to put anybody out.

0:38:22 > 0:38:26- Keep it tidy. I'm not here to clean up after you, remember that.- I will.

0:38:26 > 0:38:28Lavvy's outside, take your own paper.

0:38:28 > 0:38:32- I'll do just that.- You'll have to push the front door hard, it sticks.

0:38:32 > 0:38:34I'll do your washing once a week, no more.

0:38:34 > 0:38:37You pay my mum and only her, understood? Nobody else.

0:38:37 > 0:38:39Thanks, Mrs Ogilvie.

0:38:39 > 0:38:43- Gracie.- Gracie.

0:38:43 > 0:38:44I'm Sid.

0:39:44 > 0:39:47I was only trying to get us sorted.

0:39:47 > 0:39:49That's all I wanted to do, I swear.

0:39:53 > 0:39:54Sit down.

0:40:02 > 0:40:04It's ready.

0:40:15 > 0:40:17Sit down.

0:40:30 > 0:40:32Why the hell is he here?

0:40:40 > 0:40:42HE GROANS

0:40:54 > 0:40:56Goodnight, sweetheart.

0:41:15 > 0:41:17You're back in with Nora and your nanna.

0:41:17 > 0:41:19Get yourself cleaned up before you go to bed.

0:41:19 > 0:41:22I don't want them seeing you looking like a tart!

0:41:24 > 0:41:26I hope you're paying full board.

0:41:26 > 0:41:28I am.

0:41:30 > 0:41:32I was told to give it to the lady.

0:41:32 > 0:41:35I run the money side of things in this house.

0:41:42 > 0:41:45And a week up front.

0:41:54 > 0:41:56Let's just be clear...

0:41:56 > 0:42:00You might have helped me out earlier but I don't like you Irish.

0:42:00 > 0:42:04Cause me any trouble and you'll be sorry.

0:42:21 > 0:42:24- Your job's gone. - What do you mean, gone?

0:42:24 > 0:42:27Do you know when you get back, can I stay over?

0:42:27 > 0:42:34- Some boys have a nasty habit of leaving a girl very poorly. - David... I'm still in Manchester.

0:42:34 > 0:42:35You should read this.

0:42:35 > 0:42:37Yeats, who's Yeats?

0:42:37 > 0:42:42Yeats, he's a poet and a politician and he's a great lover of freedom.

0:42:42 > 0:42:43I own you...

0:42:45 > 0:42:46Don't ever forget that!

0:42:46 > 0:42:50I mean, do you actually even want another kid?

0:42:50 > 0:42:54- You know I do. - Then, please, act like you do!
