0:00:42 > 0:00:43Morning, gorgeous.

0:00:43 > 0:00:48- Sleep all right?- Might have been more comfortable in bed.

0:00:48 > 0:00:51Can't blame a guy for trying!

0:00:51 > 0:00:54You want to hop in for a bit?

0:00:54 > 0:00:57I need to crack on. You want anything else?

0:00:57 > 0:00:58Like some toast.

0:01:09 > 0:01:12Easy does it, son. One step at a time.

0:01:12 > 0:01:14We've got you.

0:01:18 > 0:01:20- Ahh! Careful!- Oh, sorry!

0:01:20 > 0:01:23It's all right, I'm just still a bit sore.

0:01:28 > 0:01:31If there's something I should know about.

0:01:31 > 0:01:33Something I could do.

0:01:33 > 0:01:35Some other...problem.

0:01:35 > 0:01:38I said not now. I've got a manic day. I can't talk about it.

0:01:41 > 0:01:44Maybe tonight, then?

0:01:46 > 0:01:47C'mon, work with me here.

0:01:47 > 0:01:49Is that all you want me for?

0:01:49 > 0:01:55Oh, please. We've been together a month. If that's all I was after, we wouldn't have lasted a week.

0:01:55 > 0:01:56I know.

0:01:56 > 0:01:58It's complicated. Just...

0:01:58 > 0:02:03- Just be patient.- Fine. Just not too long though, eh?

0:02:08 > 0:02:11'As you flow deeper into your inner soul,

0:02:11 > 0:02:15'picture yourself taking the rock of guilt and casting it aside.

0:02:15 > 0:02:19'See it shatter into tiny pieces as you feel yourself

0:02:19 > 0:02:22'released from the burden of responsibility.

0:02:22 > 0:02:28'Absorb the feeling of freedom as you address your inner mind

0:02:28 > 0:02:31'and declare, "It's not my fault.

0:02:31 > 0:02:33' "It's not my fault." '

0:02:33 > 0:02:35It's not my fault.

0:02:35 > 0:02:38It's not my fault. It's not my fault.

0:02:38 > 0:02:39Hey! Look out!

0:02:39 > 0:02:41Are you serious?

0:02:43 > 0:02:45When will you know for sure?

0:02:47 > 0:02:49Yeah?

0:02:51 > 0:02:53But you would consider it?

0:02:54 > 0:02:57How exciting!

0:02:57 > 0:03:01Why don't I check out the housing market here?

0:03:01 > 0:03:03Well, I'll dip my toe in, in case.

0:03:06 > 0:03:11That's what mother-in-laws are for, aren't they?

0:03:11 > 0:03:13Listen, sweetie, I've got to go,

0:03:13 > 0:03:15but keep in touch, will you? All right, love.

0:03:15 > 0:03:17Bye-bye!

0:03:19 > 0:03:22What do you think that is, you stupid cow?! You could have killed me.

0:03:22 > 0:03:24It was an accident. What can I say?

0:03:24 > 0:03:28Lady, do us all a favour and next time, keep to your side of the path!

0:03:33 > 0:03:35- Fancy a top-up?- Yeah, please.

0:03:35 > 0:03:38He'll be right as rain in no time, won't you, son?

0:03:38 > 0:03:41Right as rain? He nearly drowned! In a coma for days!

0:03:41 > 0:03:45When I think what that madman did to you,

0:03:45 > 0:03:48how close he came to...

0:03:48 > 0:03:51- It doesn't bear thinking about. - I'll get off.

0:03:51 > 0:03:53You going to work?

0:03:53 > 0:03:56It's how we pay the bills.

0:03:56 > 0:03:58Unless you really want me to stay.

0:03:58 > 0:04:01You're all right. Think I've got all the protection I need here.

0:04:01 > 0:04:03You can say that again. I won't let you out of my sight.

0:04:03 > 0:04:09- There you go. See you later! - When I think of what he did to you.

0:04:09 > 0:04:11If I ever get my hands...

0:04:11 > 0:04:13Any chance of something to eat?

0:04:13 > 0:04:16Course! You must be starving. What do you fancy?

0:04:16 > 0:04:18Bacon sarnie'd be great.

0:04:18 > 0:04:22Mum, I was thinking, once I'm back on my feet again,

0:04:22 > 0:04:26- how would you feel about me sticking round a bit longer? - Stay as long as you like.

0:04:26 > 0:04:29I was thinking maybe a year.

0:04:32 > 0:04:37I'm going to have my baby back again! Sorry. White bread or brown?

0:04:37 > 0:04:38White, please.

0:04:38 > 0:04:40- Plenty of ketchup!- OK!

0:04:43 > 0:04:45PHONE RINGS

0:04:50 > 0:04:53Campus Surgery, can I help you?

0:04:53 > 0:04:57Elaine, only me. Bad news. Haven't been able to find an HCA to cover for Karen.

0:04:57 > 0:05:02- You'll have to manage on your own. - Great.- Not completely on your own. Temp arrives in a minute.

0:05:02 > 0:05:04She'll be a big help(!)

0:05:04 > 0:05:07Good. If you've got any problems, then just call me, OK.

0:05:07 > 0:05:13Don't worry. I'll cope. I see you've found the kitchen.

0:05:18 > 0:05:21Danny's off sick, you're covering.

0:05:21 > 0:05:24Campus Surgery?

0:05:37 > 0:05:41PHONE RINGS

0:05:50 > 0:05:55# I'm walking on sunshine, whoa

0:05:55 > 0:06:00# I'm walking on sunshine, whoa

0:06:00 > 0:06:04# I'm walking on sunshine, whoa

0:06:04 > 0:06:09# And don't it feel good? Hey! All right now

0:06:09 > 0:06:13# And don't it feel good? Hey! Yeah! #

0:06:14 > 0:06:18If she does get this head teacher job, they'll have to move quickly.

0:06:18 > 0:06:22- Bet Grandma's looking forward to that.- She is.

0:06:22 > 0:06:26Trips to the park. Sunday lunches. Lots of baby-sitting...

0:06:26 > 0:06:29I know, can't wait!

0:06:29 > 0:06:33- I've offered to be head house-hunter for them.- You having much luck?

0:06:33 > 0:06:37Yes. There's loads of good stuff out there for them. This is a good time to buy.

0:06:37 > 0:06:40KNOCK AT THE DOOR Come in.

0:06:46 > 0:06:48You all right?

0:06:48 > 0:06:51Yes... Sorry. I wasn't expecting...

0:06:51 > 0:06:55Your receptionist said to come straight through.

0:06:55 > 0:06:58Anne-Marie, is it? Please take a seat.

0:07:03 > 0:07:05Do we have to watch this?

0:07:05 > 0:07:07Hey! I was watching that!

0:07:07 > 0:07:11Honestly, can't I leave you two alone for five minutes?

0:07:11 > 0:07:14- Imogen give your brother some peace and quiet, please.- But...

0:07:14 > 0:07:17Chicken soup. Put hairs on your chest.

0:07:17 > 0:07:19Hang on a sec.

0:07:19 > 0:07:22- That's radiation. It's bad for you. - Just need to see who's about.

0:07:22 > 0:07:25You're not up to having visitors. Not yet.

0:07:25 > 0:07:27I can manage.

0:07:27 > 0:07:29Aw, are you a bit achy?

0:07:29 > 0:07:30No, just bored, that's all.

0:07:30 > 0:07:33Need some intellectual stimulation.

0:07:33 > 0:07:36- Thanks a lot.- Where are you going? - Lisa's. I know when I'm not wanted.

0:07:36 > 0:07:39If you want to be useful you could go to halls

0:07:39 > 0:07:42- and pick some stuff up. - What did your last slave die of?

0:07:42 > 0:07:45Sure. No problem. What can I get you?

0:07:45 > 0:07:47My laptop, for starters.

0:07:47 > 0:07:49Maybe a few books. And...

0:07:49 > 0:07:53- Don't push your luck.- Don't be late. I'm planning an early dinner.

0:07:53 > 0:07:55Shepherd's pie, your favourite.

0:07:55 > 0:07:57Apple crumble for afters.

0:07:57 > 0:08:00- Going to be just like old times. - Can't wait.

0:08:00 > 0:08:03- Have you got your phone on you? - Course.- Keep it switched on.

0:08:03 > 0:08:05- Text me when you get there. - Yes, Mum.

0:08:09 > 0:08:13And does the pain occur throughout your cycle or just with your period?

0:08:13 > 0:08:18- Usually around the time I'm due. - And how about during intercourse? - Nothing to speak of.

0:08:18 > 0:08:19When urinating?

0:08:21 > 0:08:23OK.

0:08:23 > 0:08:26And you don't have an IUD fitted.

0:08:26 > 0:08:29Are you in a relationship right now?

0:08:29 > 0:08:32Sort of. It's still early days.

0:08:32 > 0:08:34Are you having unprotected sex?

0:08:34 > 0:08:35Um... No.

0:08:35 > 0:08:38- Not yet.- OK.

0:08:38 > 0:08:40If you wouldn't mind hopping on to the bed?

0:08:40 > 0:08:42Why? What are you going to do?

0:08:42 > 0:08:45- We need to have a look. - I don't want to have an internal.

0:08:45 > 0:08:49- It's nothing to worry about, just check there's nothing going on. - Like what?

0:08:49 > 0:08:51- You may have an infection. - I haven't. I swear.

0:08:51 > 0:08:54Won't take a sec.

0:08:55 > 0:08:57Is there no other way?

0:08:57 > 0:08:59Not that I know of.

0:09:02 > 0:09:06Look, I'm really not interested in what you've been up to.

0:09:06 > 0:09:11Everything in here is between us. But the sooner we find what's causing the pain and bleeding,

0:09:11 > 0:09:17- the sooner we can deal with it. - But...I'm a virgin.

0:09:17 > 0:09:22No problem. Why didn't you just say?

0:09:22 > 0:09:24Remember that time you had the measles?

0:09:24 > 0:09:28We were tucked up on the sofa for a fortnight. You, me and Mr Roo.

0:09:28 > 0:09:30Mr Roo. Whatever happened to him?

0:09:30 > 0:09:32Still got him upstairs.

0:09:32 > 0:09:34I can dig him out if you want.

0:09:34 > 0:09:37- Nah, you're all right. - What's wrong? Where are you going?

0:09:37 > 0:09:41For a wazz. All that tea, it's going right through me.

0:09:41 > 0:09:44I'll give you a hand, just give me a shout if you need me.

0:09:50 > 0:09:52You said that wouldn't hurt.

0:09:52 > 0:09:54What am I going to be like with the real thing?

0:09:54 > 0:09:56That'll be completely different.

0:09:56 > 0:10:01Better be. I've been hanging around for this perfect prince to come along. Silly, I know...

0:10:01 > 0:10:04- It's been a long wait. - But now you've found him.

0:10:04 > 0:10:09I think so, finally. Except there's this big deal that's going to spoil everything.

0:10:09 > 0:10:13Doesn't have to. If you're relaxed and with someone you care about.

0:10:13 > 0:10:18I'm not some wide-eyed teenager who can fumble her way through this.

0:10:18 > 0:10:20I'm nearly 30! Good job, own flat.

0:10:20 > 0:10:23He'll expect me to know exactly what I'm doing.

0:10:23 > 0:10:27How's it ever going to be special when I'm so...

0:10:27 > 0:10:28terrified?

0:10:28 > 0:10:30It's always a bit awkward at first.

0:10:30 > 0:10:32Awkward? Total let-down in my case.

0:10:32 > 0:10:34Serves me right. For being so fussy.

0:10:34 > 0:10:40- If you're worried about it, talk to him. Share the experience. - How embarrassing is that?

0:10:40 > 0:10:43Sorry mate, you want the good news? You get to take the fair maiden.

0:10:43 > 0:10:46The downside? She's a lousy lay. Won't see him for dust.

0:10:46 > 0:10:49I'm sure it won't be like that. He sounds lovely.

0:10:49 > 0:10:51I'm sure he'll understand.

0:10:56 > 0:10:57Not you.

0:10:57 > 0:11:00Hello again. How's your bike?

0:11:00 > 0:11:02Is that all you've got for me?

0:11:02 > 0:11:05No, they should all be... logged and ready.

0:11:05 > 0:11:09But it would appear someone's gone for a cappuccino.

0:11:09 > 0:11:13I just need to double-check...

0:11:13 > 0:11:15Sorry about that. One of those days.

0:11:15 > 0:11:19Oops, and one more.

0:11:19 > 0:11:21The results should be ready in a few days

0:11:21 > 0:11:23if you would like to come back...

0:11:23 > 0:11:25- Rick!- What are you doing here?

0:11:25 > 0:11:28- What's it look like? It's the doctors, isn't it? - Thought you were busy.

0:11:28 > 0:11:32- Busy having a check-up. - Anything serious? - Nothing for you to worry about.

0:11:32 > 0:11:36- You two know each other? - Rick is...my boyfriend.

0:11:36 > 0:11:40- Oh! I see.- Rick?

0:11:40 > 0:11:43What's going on? Wait!

0:11:55 > 0:11:59- Jack!- Mum, what are you doing, you crazy woman!

0:11:59 > 0:12:01Mum, you've lost it.

0:12:01 > 0:12:04How can you deny it? I saw you with him.

0:12:04 > 0:12:08- Who?- Flash git in a suit. Corner of Stratton Street. This morning. - My brother, if you must know.

0:12:08 > 0:12:14- Thought he lived in Manchester. - You really don't trust me, do you? - Don't like being taken for a fool.

0:12:14 > 0:12:17- What's going on here? Is he threatening you?- He's just flipped.

0:12:17 > 0:12:21- Got some stupid idea.- She's been cheating on me.- Really?

0:12:21 > 0:12:25Every time I try to get close to you, you push me away. Yet Mr Suit and Tie With a Briefcase?

0:12:25 > 0:12:27No holding back there!

0:12:34 > 0:12:39- Sorry, but I forgot this one. - You won't even let me explain, will you?- You've had plenty of time.

0:12:39 > 0:12:41It's been over a month and I've waited and waited.

0:12:41 > 0:12:46And all the time you've been carrying on with somebody else. Who hasn't had to wait.

0:12:46 > 0:12:49- Now you've been caught out. Been given a little something.- What?

0:12:49 > 0:12:52- I swear to God, I have not been with anyone else...- Ow!

0:12:52 > 0:12:56Where'd you get it then? It sure as hell wasn't me.

0:12:56 > 0:13:00- You pig.- Get off me, woman! - For goodness sake!- Don't "woman" me!

0:13:00 > 0:13:06Are you completely ignorant? You need to have had sex to catch a sexually transmitted infection.

0:13:06 > 0:13:08- You saying she's a virgin? - I am so sorry.

0:13:08 > 0:13:11Thanks a lot, Doctor Cassidy.

0:13:11 > 0:13:13- You could have told me. - I never meant to...

0:13:13 > 0:13:16Why don't you both come inside and talk this through?

0:13:16 > 0:13:19Haven't you done enough?

0:13:21 > 0:13:24Thanks.

0:13:24 > 0:13:25You've been a big help.

0:13:29 > 0:13:31Taa-daa!

0:13:33 > 0:13:35What's this?

0:13:35 > 0:13:37Five bedrooms, two bathrooms, one en suite,

0:13:37 > 0:13:40decorated in contemporary colours,

0:13:40 > 0:13:44located in one of Letherbridge's finest avenues,

0:13:44 > 0:13:46just a stone's throw from the park.

0:13:46 > 0:13:49Yeah, and?

0:13:49 > 0:13:50Might be worth a look.

0:13:50 > 0:13:57- Are you joking? When have we got time to go house hunting? - I thought, maybe tomorrow?

0:13:57 > 0:14:00Jimmi, we are either getting married, or we are buying a house.

0:14:00 > 0:14:03- And after last time...- I know. But things are different now.

0:14:03 > 0:14:08- No reason why we can't...you know, have our own little love nest. - I can't do two things at once.

0:14:08 > 0:14:12- Supposed to be a good time right now.- Not for us it isn't.

0:14:12 > 0:14:15OK.

0:14:15 > 0:14:17Right. Just would've been nice.

0:14:17 > 0:14:19To be married, in a new house.

0:14:19 > 0:14:21Just you and me. No ghosts.

0:14:21 > 0:14:22It was just a thought.

0:14:30 > 0:14:33This looks amazing.

0:14:33 > 0:14:35Don't you think it's a bit much?

0:14:35 > 0:14:39Not if you're both up for it...

0:14:39 > 0:14:42which you clearly aren't.

0:14:42 > 0:14:44You were all over the idea a couple of months ago.

0:14:44 > 0:14:48- We're getting married!- So? What happened to multitasking?

0:14:48 > 0:14:51And this looks lovely.

0:15:00 > 0:15:02Your gateway to porn.

0:15:02 > 0:15:06- Thanks.- Book you're supposed to be reading.

0:15:06 > 0:15:08What you're actually reading.

0:15:08 > 0:15:12And something to drown out Mum's constant interruptions.

0:15:12 > 0:15:15Ja-ack! Custard or cream with your crumble?

0:15:15 > 0:15:18Custard, please.

0:15:18 > 0:15:20What? I like custard.

0:15:20 > 0:15:23She can't keep this up for long, can she?

0:15:23 > 0:15:27You reckon? Now Mother Hen's got her chicks back she won't be letting go any time soon.

0:15:27 > 0:15:31Thank you, Dr Freud. If Harrison couldn't finish me off, don't think she will.

0:15:31 > 0:15:36- Don't say stuff like that.- What, she can't kill me with kindness!

0:15:36 > 0:15:38Can't she?

0:15:38 > 0:15:40'Thanks for popping back.'

0:15:40 > 0:15:43What's this all about? Have you had my results back?

0:15:43 > 0:15:46Actually, I wanted to apologise.

0:15:46 > 0:15:49I feel terrible about what I said today in front of Rick.

0:15:49 > 0:15:51- I had no right. - It certainly didn't help.

0:15:51 > 0:15:53I know. It was unforgivable.

0:15:53 > 0:15:56"Everything's just between us." That's what you said.

0:15:56 > 0:16:00- Is that just some ruse, to get patients to reveal their secrets? - I know, I know.

0:16:00 > 0:16:02It just hasn't been a great day I'm afraid.

0:16:02 > 0:16:05We're under-staffed, and I've been under a lot of pressure.

0:16:05 > 0:16:08- You're covering your own back? - Not at all! I just don't want...

0:16:08 > 0:16:11Scared I'm going to make a complaint?

0:16:11 > 0:16:13Hopefully not, it was a silly mistake.

0:16:13 > 0:16:16Making me undergo an invasive examination. That can't be right.

0:16:16 > 0:16:19You had symptoms. I had a duty to check them out.

0:16:19 > 0:16:23- You didn't have to shout them from the rooftops.- That was Rick.

0:16:23 > 0:16:26Maybe if you'd been honest with him, he wouldn't have...

0:16:26 > 0:16:29- So, you're saying it's my fault?- No!

0:16:29 > 0:16:33But you're a grown woman. You should be able to tell your own boyfriend how you feel.

0:16:33 > 0:16:38- Unless of course he's been threatening you in some way...- No!

0:16:38 > 0:16:40What is your problem? Rick's a really nice guy.

0:16:40 > 0:16:46- Then why are we even having this conversation? Look, do you want to be with him or not?- Yes!

0:16:46 > 0:16:50- But I'm scared of getting it wrong. - Then tell him.

0:16:50 > 0:16:52Explain why you've been holding back.

0:16:52 > 0:16:55You'll find out pretty soon what kind of a guy he really is.

0:17:02 > 0:17:04Have you been following me?

0:17:04 > 0:17:07- Yes. I just want to ex...- Pathetic.

0:17:07 > 0:17:12- Something smells good...- Maternal instinct. This place reeks of it.

0:17:12 > 0:17:16- How long do you think it'll last? - How about a lifetime? You're nuts moving back in here.

0:17:16 > 0:17:19Can't see it being that much different to halls.

0:17:19 > 0:17:22Except your laundry's thrown in. The food's better. Way cheaper.

0:17:22 > 0:17:25Have you completely forgotten what it's like? Mum'll be waking you up

0:17:25 > 0:17:31- every single morning before she goes to work to make sure you have a proper breakfast.- But...

0:17:31 > 0:17:33Dinner on the table at six. And forget girlfriends.

0:17:33 > 0:17:37As soon as they walk through the door she'll be trying to find out what their dad does.

0:17:37 > 0:17:42Bye- bye life. Still...like you say, at least it'll be cheap.

0:17:42 > 0:17:44Oh, no... She's friending me!

0:17:44 > 0:17:46SHE GIGGLES

0:17:46 > 0:17:49- No escaping now! - Yeah? That's what you think.

0:17:49 > 0:17:53I think it's about time we took back some control...

0:17:56 > 0:17:58Not you again.

0:17:58 > 0:18:02I'd like to make it up to you.

0:18:02 > 0:18:05Believe it or not I'm trained in this sort of thing.

0:18:05 > 0:18:08- Really?- Difficult to believe, I know.

0:18:08 > 0:18:10I'm supposed to make people better.

0:18:10 > 0:18:12Not managed very well today, have I?

0:18:12 > 0:18:16This morning, I had a great girlfriend.

0:18:16 > 0:18:18A chance for a proper future.

0:18:18 > 0:18:21Now she's not even speaking to me. All because of you.

0:18:21 > 0:18:25I'm not sure it's entirely my fault. You could have been a bit more sensitive.

0:18:25 > 0:18:31- Trusted her, instead of jumping to conclusions. - I was scared of losing her!

0:18:31 > 0:18:35There's not many girls like Anne-Marie out there.

0:18:35 > 0:18:36I get her. And she gets me.

0:18:36 > 0:18:39Well, that's great. But what are you telling me for?

0:18:39 > 0:18:43If that's how you feel, why don't you tell her? Get her flowers.

0:18:43 > 0:18:45That's it? Take her some flowers?!

0:18:45 > 0:18:47And talk to her.

0:18:47 > 0:18:50You are a genius. Cos I would never have thought of that(!)

0:19:04 > 0:19:08No questions asked? They'll never go for that...

0:19:08 > 0:19:11That's the art of negotiating. You ask for the moon,

0:19:11 > 0:19:13then settle somewhere in between.

0:19:15 > 0:19:16You want the fire on?

0:19:16 > 0:19:19No, Mum, we're fine.

0:19:19 > 0:19:21- You all right?- Yeah.

0:19:23 > 0:19:25I've read about that boomerang generation.

0:19:25 > 0:19:27Never dreamed my own kids would be part of it.

0:19:27 > 0:19:29I'm thrilled!

0:19:30 > 0:19:34Right, that bit about mates coming to stay is going straight back in.

0:19:34 > 0:19:38So, I've been thinking, about what I...we both want.

0:19:38 > 0:19:42- And you're right. We do need to start again.- Seriously?

0:19:42 > 0:19:45So...I called the estate agent. Booked an appointment.

0:19:45 > 0:19:47See? I knew you'd come round.

0:19:47 > 0:19:50It was the seventy-foot garden that swung it.

0:19:50 > 0:19:53So...

0:19:53 > 0:19:57two of the biggest stresses at the same time.

0:19:57 > 0:20:00- Bring it on!- Piece of cake.

0:20:00 > 0:20:02I better get a quick apology in now. Just in case.

0:20:02 > 0:20:04What for?

0:20:04 > 0:20:08Not going to be easy, is it, planning a wedding and buying a house?

0:20:08 > 0:20:12Things are going to get stressful round me. Just so you realise that...

0:20:12 > 0:20:14It's a wedding. It's not London 2012.

0:20:14 > 0:20:17Shows what you know.

0:20:17 > 0:20:19We've got to think about the invitations.

0:20:19 > 0:20:23The flowers, cake, the table favours, horse and carriage...

0:20:23 > 0:20:24What?

0:20:24 > 0:20:26Very funny! You got me.

0:20:26 > 0:20:29Then there's my mother.

0:20:29 > 0:20:31What's she got to do with it?

0:20:31 > 0:20:34You really have no idea, do you?

0:20:39 > 0:20:41What's that?

0:20:44 > 0:20:45I just wanted to say,

0:20:45 > 0:20:49how great it is to have us all round the table again.

0:20:49 > 0:20:52It's been a rough few weeks, but we've got through it

0:20:52 > 0:20:55and, Jack,

0:20:55 > 0:20:58it's just great to have you back where you belong.

0:20:58 > 0:21:02So, I'd like to propose a toast. To the Hollins family.

0:21:02 > 0:21:05TOGETHER: The Hollins family.

0:21:11 > 0:21:13Was that something you were going to show us?

0:21:13 > 0:21:17- Probably not the right time... - No time like the present.

0:21:17 > 0:21:19What is it?

0:21:23 > 0:21:26It's a family contract?

0:21:26 > 0:21:27What do we want one of those for?

0:21:27 > 0:21:31Just a few guidelines so we all know what to expect from each other.

0:21:31 > 0:21:36- But contracts are for strangers who don't trust each other. - It was one of Elaine's ideas.

0:21:36 > 0:21:39At family therapy. You thought it was a good idea, then.

0:21:42 > 0:21:44You have got to be kidding.

0:21:47 > 0:21:52Just wanted the chance to apologise and prove I'm not a complete idiot.

0:21:52 > 0:21:56And I want you to know I'm not a complete prude.

0:22:01 > 0:22:03- I swear to God, there's nobody else. - I know.

0:22:03 > 0:22:05That was stupid.

0:22:05 > 0:22:08But there is something else. A women's thing.

0:22:08 > 0:22:09Not sexual, but quite painful.

0:22:09 > 0:22:11- Which is why... - I don't need to know.

0:22:11 > 0:22:15But all the more reason for us to take things slowly.

0:22:15 > 0:22:18Till it's sorted.

0:22:18 > 0:22:20In the meantime I don't see why we can't...

0:22:20 > 0:22:24I want it to be special. For both of us.

0:22:24 > 0:22:27- But I don't want to lose you. - You're not going to lose me, babe.

0:22:27 > 0:22:30- But I thought... - Now who's being stupid?

0:22:32 > 0:22:33Come here.

0:22:34 > 0:22:36We're going to start again.

0:22:36 > 0:22:37Take things slow.

0:22:40 > 0:22:42My name's Rick,

0:22:42 > 0:22:46I'm a bike courier, my favourite colour is blue

0:22:46 > 0:22:48and I'm allergic to prawns.

0:22:48 > 0:22:49Hello, Rick.

0:22:49 > 0:22:52Very pleased to meet you.

0:22:56 > 0:23:00- Mum, don't take this the wrong way. - How is she supposed take it?

0:23:00 > 0:23:03You've only been back five minutes and you're laying down the law!

0:23:03 > 0:23:06I'm just making perfectly reasonable requests.

0:23:06 > 0:23:09"I reserve the right to keep the hours I choose." What does that really mean?

0:23:09 > 0:23:15- I can stay in bed all day?- I think you'll find that some nights I'm up till 4am working on assignments.

0:23:15 > 0:23:20"I will not be required to attend all family meals." That's what being a family's about. Eating together.

0:23:20 > 0:23:24- Mum, I'm 21. Don't need fussing over. - But I'm your mum. It's my job!

0:23:24 > 0:23:29- Consider yourself part-time from now on.- Don't be cheeky! After all your mum's done for you.

0:23:29 > 0:23:32- And you're very quiet, young lady. - I'd just like to be able to come

0:23:32 > 0:23:35- and go as without asking permission. - Not having you out all hours.

0:23:35 > 0:23:39- Fine. I'll have friends to stay over.- Boyfriends? No way.

0:23:39 > 0:23:40I knew this was a waste of time.

0:23:40 > 0:23:42Why don't I make some coffee?

0:23:42 > 0:23:44This is so unnecessary.

0:23:44 > 0:23:48I'll tell you what. Since we're all sat round this table together,

0:23:48 > 0:23:50why don't we make this work?

0:23:50 > 0:23:53You know what, we can make this work..

0:23:53 > 0:23:56- Glad you see it our way. - Your mum and I will want to put a few of our own clauses

0:23:56 > 0:23:59- into the contract.- Hang on. - What did you have in mind?

0:23:59 > 0:24:03- How about for starters, you replace all the beers you 'borrow' from the fridge.- What?!

0:24:03 > 0:24:08- Immie, you promise to spend no more than ten minutes in the bathroom in the morning.- But...

0:24:08 > 0:24:11- What about my hair? - I've only just started.- Dad.

0:24:11 > 0:24:14We just want fair and equal treatment.

0:24:14 > 0:24:16Fair and equal treatment?!

0:24:16 > 0:24:18I'll tell you what's fair and equal,

0:24:18 > 0:24:21that you contribute towards household costs.

0:24:21 > 0:24:23Because you eat us out of house and home.

0:24:23 > 0:24:26- We can manage.- How much? - How does 50 quid a week sound?

0:24:26 > 0:24:28- No way!- What?!- That's a bargain,

0:24:28 > 0:24:31have you seen the price of food? Naturally,

0:24:31 > 0:24:35- it will be all inflation-linked. - This is so unfair!

0:24:35 > 0:24:38DOOR SQUEAKS

0:24:48 > 0:24:51FOOTSTEPS APPROACH

0:25:07 > 0:25:11Sorry, I lost track of the time.

0:25:11 > 0:25:13Won't be long and I'll be out of your way.

0:25:16 > 0:25:20Can I just remind you how lucky we are to even be here?

0:25:20 > 0:25:26Can we just have one meal together without all this bickering?

0:25:26 > 0:25:27Just for once.

0:25:30 > 0:25:34Here's to getting on just fine.

0:25:34 > 0:25:37ALL: To getting on just fine.

0:25:38 > 0:25:43The next time you think about drawing up a contract, you run it by me first.

0:25:43 > 0:25:49- Why?- As head of the household, I reserve the right to approve everything.

0:25:49 > 0:25:53- I don't believe this.- Outrageous. - My roof, my rules.

0:25:53 > 0:25:56What a surprise, I told you this wouldn't work.

0:25:56 > 0:26:01- If you'd left the talking to me, instead of winding him up... - You said to negotiate hard.

0:26:01 > 0:26:04Why should I negotiate? Who pays the mortgage round here?

0:26:04 > 0:26:07- That doesn't give you the right to control our lives.- It's so unfair.

0:26:07 > 0:26:10I'll give you unfair... You can pay your own rent!

0:26:19 > 0:26:22- It's you!- I can explain that. It was all a mistake.

0:26:22 > 0:26:24Leave me alone! Get away from me.

0:26:24 > 0:26:26- Albert?- Oh, no.

0:26:26 > 0:26:28Albert?

0:26:28 > 0:26:29You have no patients.

0:26:29 > 0:26:32- They have cancelled.- All of them?

0:26:32 > 0:26:35- One shout and I'll call security. - For what? Taking what's mine?

0:26:35 > 0:26:37For abusing your granddad.

0:26:37 > 0:26:41But if we don't do something this problem could turn into a crisis.
