0:00:39 > 0:00:43Yep, just give us a call when you're leaving the motorway, I'll talk you back to the house.

0:00:43 > 0:00:44All right, see you.

0:00:45 > 0:00:48- Who's that?- Franklyn.

0:00:48 > 0:00:50Oh, I'm looking forward to meeting him.

0:00:50 > 0:00:53He's acting like it's Christmas over the stag night.

0:00:53 > 0:00:55Am I going to get a look, or what?

0:00:55 > 0:00:58- Promise me that you won't laugh. - As if!

0:01:10 > 0:01:13It's, er...it's very, erm, it's retro.

0:01:13 > 0:01:14SHE SIGHS

0:01:14 > 0:01:17I'm never going to get it right, am I?

0:01:17 > 0:01:18A bride's look is for ever.

0:01:18 > 0:01:20I want to look timeless in our photos.

0:01:20 > 0:01:24- You look perfect when you're not trying so hard. - SHE EXHALES

0:01:24 > 0:01:26Maybe Mum'll have some ideas when I see her later.

0:01:26 > 0:01:28When are you seeing her?

0:01:28 > 0:01:31Tonight, I spoke to her at the salon

0:01:31 > 0:01:36AND...we have decided that I'm going to move back home.

0:01:37 > 0:01:39"We"? "Home"?

0:01:39 > 0:01:41Yeah, just until the wedding day.

0:01:48 > 0:01:49Can I help you, sir?

0:01:49 > 0:01:53I want to speak to somebody about a racist incident at my home.

0:01:53 > 0:01:56Right, OK, was it something that you've witnessed,

0:01:56 > 0:01:59- or was it aimed at you?- Aimed at me.

0:01:59 > 0:02:01They know where I live, there's a whole gang of them.

0:02:01 > 0:02:03Right, I see.

0:02:03 > 0:02:05They hang round on the streets and the park

0:02:05 > 0:02:07by the Millennium Estate

0:02:07 > 0:02:10but it comes to something when you find them in your own garden.

0:02:10 > 0:02:11Hm, yeah.

0:02:11 > 0:02:13Do you want to tell me exactly what's happened?

0:02:13 > 0:02:16There was one today, he looked right in my kitchen window.

0:02:16 > 0:02:19Right up to the glass at my face.

0:02:19 > 0:02:22Right to my face!

0:02:22 > 0:02:24So, this happened about 3pm today?

0:02:24 > 0:02:26But they've been strutting up and down for a long time,

0:02:26 > 0:02:28like goose-stepping!

0:02:28 > 0:02:32You know, always taunting me.

0:02:32 > 0:02:33Can I get a description?

0:02:33 > 0:02:35Always in grey, like it's a uniform,

0:02:35 > 0:02:38they think they can intimidate you.

0:02:38 > 0:02:39And fat!

0:02:39 > 0:02:42Beady little eyes, you wouldn't trust them.

0:02:42 > 0:02:44What about colour of hair and height?

0:02:44 > 0:02:46I suppose, about...

0:02:49 > 0:02:51You know?

0:02:53 > 0:02:56OK, let me get this straight...

0:02:56 > 0:02:59there's a gang of them, in grey

0:02:59 > 0:03:01- and they strut around with...beady eyes...- Hm-mm.

0:03:01 > 0:03:04- ..and they're about that big? - You know them?

0:03:06 > 0:03:09Mr Ballard, are we talking about pigeons here?

0:03:09 > 0:03:11They've been bothering me for a long while now,

0:03:11 > 0:03:14scaring off the other birds I put food out for

0:03:14 > 0:03:17but today they went too far.

0:03:17 > 0:03:18Did they?

0:03:18 > 0:03:19And what did they do today?

0:03:19 > 0:03:23My hearing's not what it was, but I tell you this,

0:03:23 > 0:03:25that pigeon came up on to my windowsill

0:03:25 > 0:03:28and made racist remarks at me.

0:03:28 > 0:03:30What are you going to do?

0:03:39 > 0:03:42That does not look like your normal choice of lunch, Doctor Carter.

0:03:42 > 0:03:45The shop didn't have much of a selection.

0:03:45 > 0:03:50Perhaps a little salad to go with it, or some fruit?

0:03:52 > 0:03:55Oh.

0:03:57 > 0:04:00- Is everything all right?- I'm fine.

0:04:02 > 0:04:05I will be, thanks.

0:04:05 > 0:04:10Is it work making you feel like this, or the time of year?

0:04:10 > 0:04:13I confess, I do not like February.

0:04:13 > 0:04:15I am thankful it is the shortest month.

0:04:15 > 0:04:18It does tend towards the grey.

0:04:18 > 0:04:21Going home in the dark, to a quiet house.

0:04:21 > 0:04:24It must seem very empty, now.

0:04:24 > 0:04:26It's full of memories.

0:04:26 > 0:04:29Perhaps a break in routine?

0:04:29 > 0:04:31I mean, you could...

0:04:32 > 0:04:34Well, I have...

0:04:36 > 0:04:40Why don't you come to my house this evening. I have plenty of food

0:04:40 > 0:04:41No that's...I've got....

0:04:41 > 0:04:46Maybe we can both try to forget it is February.

0:04:47 > 0:04:51How can I refuse such an offer? I look forward to it, Mrs Tembe.

0:04:52 > 0:04:54Good.

0:04:54 > 0:04:56There, good!

0:04:56 > 0:04:58Oh, can I help you?

0:05:02 > 0:05:06Oh, let's get you in out the cold!

0:05:06 > 0:05:07Oh, are those for me?

0:05:07 > 0:05:09What are you after?

0:05:09 > 0:05:11- Nice to see you again, Mrs Malone.- Ahem.- Paula.

0:05:11 > 0:05:14- Hi, Dad!- Evening all.

0:05:14 > 0:05:16Look at these, Mal, aren't they gorgeous?

0:05:16 > 0:05:19- You making time with my bird? - THEY LAUGH

0:05:19 > 0:05:20Welcome home, love.

0:05:20 > 0:05:23Run Cherry's case upstairs and you can pop these in a vase.

0:05:23 > 0:05:27Actually stick these in some water first, you can sort a vase later.

0:05:27 > 0:05:29HE MUMBLES

0:05:29 > 0:05:31- Oh, it's nice to have you home, love.- Oh!

0:05:32 > 0:05:35...but it isn't actually illegal, is it, madam?

0:05:35 > 0:05:37If you say that your neighbour isn't taking money for her "favours",

0:05:37 > 0:05:40that means that she's not a prostitute, just...

0:05:40 > 0:05:44well, just very, very friendly.

0:05:44 > 0:05:46OK, thank you, thanks, bye-bye.

0:05:47 > 0:05:50He came back and I was waiting for him!

0:05:50 > 0:05:54- Right, so, this is...?- Now you can see what I've put up with.

0:05:55 > 0:05:56What will you do?

0:05:57 > 0:06:00Do? Yes, that is a good one. GARY!

0:06:00 > 0:06:02You see, we can't really hold pigeons.

0:06:02 > 0:06:04It's more of a job for the RSPCA. Would you...?

0:06:04 > 0:06:07Talk alone won't stop them.

0:06:07 > 0:06:10I want to speak to PC Miles.

0:06:10 > 0:06:12Well, I'm afraid PC Miles is not on duty this evening.

0:06:12 > 0:06:15He knows me, HE'LL know what to do.

0:06:15 > 0:06:17Will he? Er...

0:06:17 > 0:06:19Don't worry, cos we know what to do as well.

0:06:19 > 0:06:21So, just, you know, we'll sort it.

0:06:21 > 0:06:23Leave it with us.

0:06:24 > 0:06:26Thanks.

0:06:30 > 0:06:33DOORBELL RINGS

0:06:33 > 0:06:35Sorry I'm late.

0:06:35 > 0:06:39Well, not at all. I had no idea what time your meeting would end.

0:06:39 > 0:06:40I came via my wine merchant.

0:06:40 > 0:06:42You did not have to do that!

0:06:42 > 0:06:46- New World, South African, little frisky!- Really?

0:06:46 > 0:06:48I know you're not a great imbiber,

0:06:48 > 0:06:52but this will go with any of your homeland delicacies.

0:06:52 > 0:06:55Oh, you were expecting something traditional? Only...

0:06:55 > 0:06:57Anything, anything will be fine.

0:06:59 > 0:07:03Well, will it go well with chicken casserole and dumplings,

0:07:03 > 0:07:06and treacle sponge pudding and custard?

0:07:06 > 0:07:13The food of my childhood. You know the way to a man's heart.

0:07:09 > 0:07:13- SHE LAUGHS - Oh, please, go through.

0:07:19 > 0:07:22Oh, do you remember this holiday?

0:07:22 > 0:07:25- You had a crush on that deckchair attendant. - CHERRY LAUGHS

0:07:25 > 0:07:28- And the pink lilo you wanted? - Oh, yeah! It matched my cossie.

0:07:28 > 0:07:32Oh, will you check the roast for us, love, it could use another baste.

0:07:32 > 0:07:35- Ahead of you there, all done. - Who wants a refresher?

0:07:35 > 0:07:37- Top up, Jimmi?- No, I'm fine, thanks.

0:07:37 > 0:07:38I'm all right, thanks, Dad.

0:07:38 > 0:07:40More "can apes" anyone?

0:07:40 > 0:07:45Oh, well, when you bring the drinks back, love, no hurry.

0:07:45 > 0:07:47Oh, look, this is a wedding album, isn't it?

0:07:47 > 0:07:50Jimmi doesn't want to see that, you're not in any of those!

0:07:50 > 0:07:51Yeah, but I want him to see you.

0:07:51 > 0:07:55Oh, look, look, she just looked like me at that age, didn't she?

0:07:55 > 0:07:57Ha, uncanny.

0:07:57 > 0:08:00The curse of all daughters - ending up like their mothers!

0:08:00 > 0:08:02THEY LAUGH

0:08:03 > 0:08:07Brian, it's Rob. How are you, mate?

0:08:07 > 0:08:08Yeah, no, fine.

0:08:08 > 0:08:10Yeah, listen, I'm sorry to bother you at home

0:08:10 > 0:08:14but I had someone in the station asking after you? Yeah.

0:08:14 > 0:08:16Cedric Ballard?

0:08:16 > 0:08:18Oh, yeah.

0:08:18 > 0:08:24Because he's brought me in a racist pigeon for questioning.

0:08:25 > 0:08:27No, I released it for lack of evidence!

0:08:27 > 0:08:29HE LAUGHS

0:08:31 > 0:08:33Oh, really?

0:08:34 > 0:08:40When you say he usually doesn't go out after dark?

0:08:40 > 0:08:42Oh, right.

0:08:42 > 0:08:43OK, yeah, got it, yeah.

0:08:49 > 0:08:52- Oh, you haven't! - Did you think I wouldn't?

0:08:52 > 0:08:55Oh, I can't believe you've gone to all this trouble.

0:08:55 > 0:08:57I am losing my little girl.

0:08:57 > 0:09:00Besides, if you're not going to do the full works, why bother?

0:09:00 > 0:09:03Oh, this is just the sort of dinner party ambience that my nan...

0:09:03 > 0:09:04My mother.

0:09:04 > 0:09:07Yeah, she thought this was like, the height of sophistication,

0:09:07 > 0:09:10this kind of '70s bistro thing.

0:09:10 > 0:09:13Take no notice, Jimmi, it's a bit of family nonsense

0:09:13 > 0:09:15but, it did give us an excuse to get the best china out.

0:09:15 > 0:09:18Who got the best china out and the table extension from the loft?

0:09:18 > 0:09:20If a thing's worth doing...

0:09:20 > 0:09:22"And only one captain to a ship," I know.

0:09:22 > 0:09:25But you're doing it for me, aren't I worth it?

0:09:29 > 0:09:32So, I enter with a syringe and he starts screaming blue murder.

0:09:32 > 0:09:34Hiding it didn't make any difference.

0:09:34 > 0:09:38- It was not the syringe he was afraid of?- No, my bow tie.

0:09:38 > 0:09:42He hyperventilates, he runs straight into a plate glass window,

0:09:42 > 0:09:44150 stitches, blames me.

0:09:44 > 0:09:45What, for being properly dressed?

0:09:45 > 0:09:49No, he said it aggravated his Mottephobia.

0:09:49 > 0:09:50Fear of moths.

0:09:50 > 0:09:54- SHE LAUGHS - Your bowtie looked, to him, like a moth?

0:09:54 > 0:09:55Well, he better not come to Botswana,

0:09:55 > 0:09:57we have moths much bigger than that.

0:09:57 > 0:09:59He wanted to claim on my medical insurance.

0:09:59 > 0:10:03Sometimes I wish I could take the Mikado option

0:10:03 > 0:10:06and cut my way through patient waiting lists.

0:10:06 > 0:10:09You would be for ever hitting your headdress on the doorframe.

0:10:09 > 0:10:11Thank you.

0:10:11 > 0:10:13Please!

0:10:13 > 0:10:16Have you ever been to Japan?

0:10:16 > 0:10:19I have always admired their tea ceremony.

0:10:19 > 0:10:21- Really?- Oh, I am fascinated.

0:10:21 > 0:10:24It is such a delicate ritual.

0:10:24 > 0:10:28Every gesture is so precise, so graceful.

0:10:28 > 0:10:31You know, one day we should promise ourselves -

0:10:31 > 0:10:33tea in the shadow of Mount Fuji.

0:10:34 > 0:10:35Kanpai!

0:10:35 > 0:10:37Kanpai!

0:10:39 > 0:10:42And here's to you bagging a doctor into the bargain.

0:10:42 > 0:10:44- Mum!- Joke.

0:10:45 > 0:10:48So, Jimmi, when are you planning on making partner at the Mill?

0:10:48 > 0:10:50Mum!

0:10:50 > 0:10:51Aside from anything else,

0:10:51 > 0:10:54we've been focusing on the wedding for the last six months.

0:10:54 > 0:10:57Yeah, besides I want everything to be perfect this time round, so...

0:10:57 > 0:10:59This time?

0:10:59 > 0:11:02What you've been hitched before?

0:11:02 > 0:11:03Erm...

0:11:03 > 0:11:05What I meant was, actually,

0:11:05 > 0:11:09after all the stuff that had gone wrong at the engagement party.

0:11:09 > 0:11:12That's not what, "this time," implies to me.

0:11:14 > 0:11:19Jim... Jimmi's been married before, I told you that, didn't I?

0:11:27 > 0:11:32- SHOUTS:- I've told you pigging kids before, clear off out!

0:11:32 > 0:11:34Oh, evening, officer.

0:11:34 > 0:11:37Evening, madam, sorry about that. Have you been having problems?

0:11:37 > 0:11:40It used to be a respectable area.

0:11:40 > 0:11:41Are you here about the bins?

0:11:42 > 0:11:44Actually, no.

0:11:44 > 0:11:45My neighbour...

0:11:45 > 0:11:48If you leave the bins right by the kerb

0:11:48 > 0:11:52then the binmen don't bother emptying them. It's their regulations.

0:11:52 > 0:11:56- Yeah, I know.- Yeah, but the bins just keep piling up, it'll be rats next!

0:11:56 > 0:12:00I've had Mr Smedley from our Neighbourhood Watch back me on this.

0:12:00 > 0:12:02- Right...- Well, I say "Watch",

0:12:02 > 0:12:05I mean, he's up and down here with a torch and Ping-Pong bat but...

0:12:05 > 0:12:09- that's council cuts for you, isn't it?- It is.

0:12:09 > 0:12:13Do you have much contact with Mr Ballard, Mrs...?

0:12:13 > 0:12:15MISS Stockton.

0:12:15 > 0:12:17Valerie.

0:12:18 > 0:12:20He's a bit weird, like harmless,

0:12:20 > 0:12:23but he watches from the window with binoculars.

0:12:23 > 0:12:25Does he have any trouble with kids?

0:12:25 > 0:12:27I couldn't say, really.

0:12:27 > 0:12:30He keeps to himself, we all do round here.

0:12:30 > 0:12:34Anyway, I must dash or me moussaka will get a skin on it.

0:12:35 > 0:12:37There's enough for two.

0:12:39 > 0:12:41Er...I've eaten, thanks.

0:12:42 > 0:12:45- Shame.- Thanks.

0:12:50 > 0:12:53An older woman? How much older..?

0:12:54 > 0:12:58Erm...about 20 years.

0:12:58 > 0:13:02I was a lot younger then, obviously, I know now that it was a mistake.

0:13:02 > 0:13:06What is it they say about doctors? They get to bury their mistakes?

0:13:06 > 0:13:09I know all about this, it wasn't a serious marriage.

0:13:09 > 0:13:11I'm not sure I'd even call it a marriage.

0:13:11 > 0:13:14It was more like an open relationship with added paperwork!

0:13:14 > 0:13:17Yeah, it's in the past, it's got nothing to do with us,

0:13:17 > 0:13:20or how we feel about each other.

0:13:20 > 0:13:23Not sure I even really loved Amanda.

0:13:23 > 0:13:24You didn't?

0:13:24 > 0:13:27Not the way I did with Eva or...

0:13:27 > 0:13:28Or...?

0:13:32 > 0:13:34- Sorry, what?- Or...?

0:13:37 > 0:13:39Sarah.

0:13:41 > 0:13:43Who's Sarah?

0:13:43 > 0:13:44So, you loved Sarah?

0:13:54 > 0:13:55That was perfect.

0:13:55 > 0:13:58Sometimes, the simplicity of a meal can make it all the more enjoyable,

0:13:58 > 0:14:01the whole experience of sitting down to eat.

0:14:01 > 0:14:07Breaking bread with a friend, talking without ceremony.

0:14:07 > 0:14:09I absolutely agree.

0:14:15 > 0:14:16Is something wrong?

0:14:16 > 0:14:20Er...it reminded me of Marina.

0:14:21 > 0:14:22Oh, I see.

0:14:22 > 0:14:26Nothing she loved more than a meal that wasn't fussed over.

0:14:27 > 0:14:32The end of a relationship can leave us with moments unfinished.

0:14:34 > 0:14:36With Marina, I thought I'd come home.

0:14:36 > 0:14:41To have something so strong and then to lose it...

0:14:41 > 0:14:45I've never been...so connected to someone.

0:14:49 > 0:14:52Doctor Carter, what happened?

0:14:57 > 0:14:58Let me clear these up.

0:14:58 > 0:15:01Take that for you, there we go.

0:15:05 > 0:15:08- You're sorry?- Yes, I am.

0:15:08 > 0:15:11I should have paid more attention to what you were telling me.

0:15:11 > 0:15:15You thought I was, what? A timewaster?

0:15:15 > 0:15:16A stupid old man?

0:15:16 > 0:15:18No, neither.

0:15:19 > 0:15:21I've spoken to PC Miles and he...

0:15:21 > 0:15:23he told me about the fire,

0:15:23 > 0:15:25he told me what happened to your daughter.

0:15:27 > 0:15:29My Elizabeth?

0:15:31 > 0:15:35- Would you like a cup of tea? - No, I'm fine.- It's no trouble.

0:15:35 > 0:15:37It's OK.

0:15:37 > 0:15:42- I thought about rice, you know. To see off the pigeons.- Why?

0:15:42 > 0:15:46Make them puff up like balloons - they explode!

0:15:47 > 0:15:49That's why you can't throw them at weddings any more.

0:15:49 > 0:15:56Pigeons going BOOM outside the church! That'd show them.

0:15:56 > 0:15:58People don't like explosions.

0:16:03 > 0:16:06I got skin grafts after that night,

0:16:06 > 0:16:08they were lighter in colour...

0:16:11 > 0:16:14..like my own skin was trying to help me.

0:16:15 > 0:16:18- Help you do what?- Be not so black.

0:16:20 > 0:16:25- Did I make tea?- No, you didn't, but that's OK. That's fine.

0:16:25 > 0:16:28If there's anything else that I can help you with?

0:16:39 > 0:16:42"Go home"?! What's this?

0:16:42 > 0:16:45One of the letters the pigeons leave on the tree.

0:16:46 > 0:16:49They're carrier pigeons, didn't I tell you?

0:16:49 > 0:16:53No, you didn't, not about this.

0:16:53 > 0:16:55- Have you got any more?- A few.

0:17:10 > 0:17:12After Amanda it was all rebound stuff.

0:17:12 > 0:17:15I wanted to be in love with Sarah but it's not the same.

0:17:15 > 0:17:18I have never loved anyone the way I've loved you, you must know that?

0:17:18 > 0:17:20I know.

0:17:20 > 0:17:26In tribute to the newest member of the Malone family.

0:17:26 > 0:17:27Chicken.

0:17:27 > 0:17:31- It looks great.- Everything OK in here?- Yes, fine.

0:17:31 > 0:17:33We're just chatting.

0:17:33 > 0:17:38So, this policewoman you were with, Eva, yes?

0:17:38 > 0:17:40Cherry says she died?

0:17:41 > 0:17:44- What?- It's classified.

0:17:44 > 0:17:46Eh?

0:17:46 > 0:17:48Eva was working undercover.

0:17:48 > 0:17:50So, there's a lot of stuff that didn't get reported.

0:17:50 > 0:17:53Such as?

0:17:53 > 0:17:55If there's anything else needs airing,

0:17:55 > 0:17:58better we hear it now before we all become one big happy family,

0:17:58 > 0:18:00don't you think?

0:18:08 > 0:18:10Did you talk to him about his bins?

0:18:13 > 0:18:14Yeah, I did.

0:18:14 > 0:18:19There used to be a time where you could hang your washing out in confidence, but now...

0:18:19 > 0:18:21pigeons. Disgusting.

0:18:21 > 0:18:24He mentioned pigeons.

0:18:24 > 0:18:26I think he gets a bit confused sometimes.

0:18:26 > 0:18:29Oh, don't get me wrong, he's a nice old man, but...

0:18:29 > 0:18:30doesn't always think.

0:18:30 > 0:18:33And the smell sometimes!

0:18:33 > 0:18:36Still, you know what it's like with them.

0:18:36 > 0:18:38"Them"?

0:18:38 > 0:18:41Men, living alone...

0:18:41 > 0:18:43don't always have standards.

0:18:43 > 0:18:45Did you know that he had a daughter?

0:18:45 > 0:18:47Yeah? Well, I've never seen her visit.

0:18:47 > 0:18:51And you won't...because she burnt to death.

0:18:51 > 0:18:54Somebody threw a petrol bomb through the window.

0:18:54 > 0:18:57- Because she was a different colour.- Oh.

0:18:57 > 0:19:00Mr Ballard went back in to try and try and save her.

0:19:00 > 0:19:02Now he's scarred for life.

0:19:03 > 0:19:05'And he thinks that he's surrounded by hatred.'

0:19:05 > 0:19:08'Well, like I said, we keep to ourselves.'

0:19:08 > 0:19:10So, you didn't write this then?

0:19:10 > 0:19:12What is it?

0:19:13 > 0:19:17Why would I write to somebody I live next door to?

0:19:17 > 0:19:19And I won't find your fingerprints all over it?

0:19:19 > 0:19:23He's a broken-hearted old man, Miss Stockton.

0:19:23 > 0:19:25'I'm not a racist...

0:19:25 > 0:19:28'but I don't like living by a pile of rubbish!'

0:19:28 > 0:19:32'So why don't you be a good neighbour and help him...'

0:19:32 > 0:19:34with his bins?

0:19:34 > 0:19:37Then there won't be a bad smell round here any more.

0:19:41 > 0:19:43And then I had to tell everyone that Eva was dead.

0:19:43 > 0:19:46And when did you tell Cherry all this?

0:19:46 > 0:19:49- Last August.- Is that why you split up last year?

0:19:49 > 0:19:52Well, it did make things awkward between us for a while, obviously.

0:19:52 > 0:19:54And all that time Cherry was in danger?

0:19:54 > 0:19:57It's nothing the police could've have anticipated.

0:19:57 > 0:20:01No, hang on, let me get this straight. You put our daughter at risk!

0:20:01 > 0:20:03Held hostage by a psychotic thug in her own home?!

0:20:03 > 0:20:05It wasn't Jimmi's fault.

0:20:05 > 0:20:07I know how this looks.

0:20:07 > 0:20:08Do you?

0:20:08 > 0:20:11Didn't you think Cherry had a right to know what she was getting into?

0:20:11 > 0:20:12If she'd known the facts...

0:20:12 > 0:20:14I'd still be with Jimmi.

0:20:14 > 0:20:16You don't have to be loyal to him.

0:20:16 > 0:20:18That's an appalling deceit you put her through.

0:20:18 > 0:20:21He didn't know that she was undercover at first.

0:20:21 > 0:20:24- We've all got a past, look at me and Scott.- Another man who deceived you!

0:20:24 > 0:20:26You wanted the truth.

0:20:26 > 0:20:31So, hopefully, in time, you can see through all this and just see that he's a good man.

0:20:31 > 0:20:33Look, I love Cherry.

0:20:33 > 0:20:36My past has got nothing to do with my future with her.

0:20:41 > 0:20:44I think the food could do with reheating.

0:20:44 > 0:20:46Let me give you a hand.

0:20:46 > 0:20:47No, thank you.

0:20:47 > 0:20:50- No, no, no, I insist. - No, really.- No, really.

0:20:50 > 0:20:53- Oh, if you insis...- Oh, no, it's all right, it'll come out, don't worry -

0:20:53 > 0:20:56and the downstairs loo, it's just over there.

0:21:03 > 0:21:05What was that about?

0:21:06 > 0:21:07Cherry?

0:21:09 > 0:21:12You find the right bird? When?

0:21:17 > 0:21:19Just now.

0:21:19 > 0:21:21I don't think you'll be getting any more letters.

0:21:21 > 0:21:26- They always comes back, Sergeant. - No, I'm pretty convinced on this one.

0:21:26 > 0:21:29I've had a word with your neighbour. She's going to help with your bins.

0:21:29 > 0:21:31Help keep away vermin.

0:21:31 > 0:21:34- Valerie Stockton? Help?- Mm-hmm.

0:21:34 > 0:21:36Thank you.

0:21:36 > 0:21:38You're welcome. Take care of yourself.

0:21:50 > 0:21:53'Why leave it till now to tell us these things?'

0:21:53 > 0:21:56- Because it's not important!- No?

0:21:56 > 0:21:59- And I knew how you'd react. - You think?- Let's just keep calm.

0:22:01 > 0:22:06Everything you've said points towards the idea you're marrying a man who...

0:22:06 > 0:22:08hasn't always made the best decisions.

0:22:08 > 0:22:13- So, what you're saying is I'm the latest in a long line of dodgy choices?- No.

0:22:16 > 0:22:18Let's just keep calm.

0:22:20 > 0:22:22Cherry, come on now, come on.

0:22:22 > 0:22:24Come on, come on! COME ON!

0:22:24 > 0:22:27- Well, then he did make the right dec...- 'OPEN THE DOOR!'- What's that?

0:22:27 > 0:22:29Could you get the...? COME ON!

0:22:29 > 0:22:33'Please, Cherry, please, come on. It's been long enough!'

0:22:35 > 0:22:36Now what?

0:22:40 > 0:22:41That was delicious.

0:22:42 > 0:22:43Good.

0:22:44 > 0:22:49Now, I am sorry for speaking of this again, but...

0:22:49 > 0:22:51No-one who saw you with Mrs Bonnaire

0:22:51 > 0:22:54was in any doubt that she made you the happiest...

0:22:54 > 0:22:55..man in England.

0:22:56 > 0:22:59No-one is perfect.

0:22:59 > 0:23:03Surely, to let one failing get in the way of happiness is,

0:23:03 > 0:23:05is a problem worth defeating?

0:23:05 > 0:23:06Well, perhaps...

0:23:06 > 0:23:08Perhap...perhaps?

0:23:08 > 0:23:12Did Winston Churchill say "perhaps" in his darkest hour?

0:23:14 > 0:23:20If you only have one obstacle to overcome, is it not worth the fight?

0:23:22 > 0:23:24It's not that kind of fight.

0:23:25 > 0:23:26It's complicated.

0:23:28 > 0:23:31If you are certain there is no-one else

0:23:31 > 0:23:36that can make you feel like this, then you know what you have to do.

0:23:39 > 0:23:41- Try lifting the door when you push it.- It's the lock.

0:23:41 > 0:23:44- Dad, it's stuck fast. - I can't breathe!

0:23:44 > 0:23:46- He's a bit of a panicky Pete, isn't he?- Jimmi?

0:23:46 > 0:23:49- The bulb's gone, it's dark, get me out!- We're going to have to get something to prise it open with.

0:23:49 > 0:23:53- He's not the luckiest of people, is he?- I'll get me toolbox.

0:23:53 > 0:23:56Jimmi, deep breaths - in through the nose, out through the mouth.

0:23:56 > 0:23:57What's wrong?

0:23:58 > 0:23:59Claustrophobia and OCD.

0:23:59 > 0:24:02His dad treated him badly when he was a kid, he locked him in a cupboard.

0:24:02 > 0:24:06- Of course he did. Has he got any redeeming qualities?- Yes!

0:24:06 > 0:24:08He's kind and he's caring.

0:24:08 > 0:24:12But this! It's like all the baby birds and abandoned kittens

0:24:12 > 0:24:15you brought home when you were little and who got saddled with the work.

0:24:15 > 0:24:18- Jimmi, it's OK!- Are you REALLY prepared to take this on?

0:24:18 > 0:24:21I mean, how can he look after you? What kind of father will he make?

0:24:21 > 0:24:24Were Gran and Granddad like this when they met Dad the first time?

0:24:24 > 0:24:26- It's not the same. - He was a punk rocker!

0:24:26 > 0:24:28Did they try and talk you out of it? Did you listen to them?

0:24:28 > 0:24:30You can't judge a book by its cover

0:24:30 > 0:24:32and Jimmi's the exact opposite of your dad.

0:24:32 > 0:24:35He looks all right, but...

0:24:35 > 0:24:39Be realistic, Cherry, can't you see what your life will be like?

0:24:43 > 0:24:47Now, are you sure that I cannot tempt you with more treacle pudding?

0:24:47 > 0:24:52Oh, no, I am absolutely stuffed, I'd never want to leave.

0:24:52 > 0:24:54Thanks again.

0:24:54 > 0:24:55It was my pleasure.

0:24:55 > 0:24:58The food was superb but, more importantly,

0:24:58 > 0:25:03you rescued me from another evening of my own company.

0:25:03 > 0:25:07Time for reflection is good for the soul

0:25:07 > 0:25:13but making time to act on your thoughts is even better.

0:25:13 > 0:25:15Chicken soup for the soul as well.

0:25:15 > 0:25:17How can I repay you?

0:25:17 > 0:25:20Just be happy, Doctor Carter...

0:25:20 > 0:25:21and seize the day!

0:25:22 > 0:25:24See you in the morning.

0:25:34 > 0:25:36It's OK, Jimmi, we're nearly there.

0:25:36 > 0:25:41That's it, it's OK, it's all over now. Can you get some water?

0:25:41 > 0:25:45- Should we do something? - I think you've done enough tonight.

0:25:45 > 0:25:48I've only spoken out of concern, Cherry.

0:25:48 > 0:25:52What kind of mother would I be if I didn't try and stop you making a terrible mistake?

0:25:52 > 0:25:54The supportive kind?

0:25:56 > 0:25:59I'm sorry but if you're planning on going ahead with this wedding

0:25:59 > 0:26:01I don't want any part of it.

0:26:01 > 0:26:03There you go.

0:26:05 > 0:26:06No, thank you, Malcolm.

0:26:06 > 0:26:09- I think it's best if we just go, don't you?- Yeah, come on.

0:26:09 > 0:26:10I'm not coming back.

0:26:10 > 0:26:13- Why?- Because I know where I need to be.

0:26:13 > 0:26:17If you're asking me to choose between you and Jimmi, then Jimmi wins every time.

0:26:17 > 0:26:19What? Choose what?

0:26:19 > 0:26:22And I'm still getting married.

0:26:22 > 0:26:24It'll break my heart if you're not there...

0:26:24 > 0:26:29but whether you are or you're not, the wedding's going ahead.

0:26:38 > 0:26:41It's Franklyn. Bit less of the "oldest", Jimmi boy!

0:26:41 > 0:26:43The entertainment!

0:26:43 > 0:26:44THEY CHEER

0:26:46 > 0:26:49- Strippers?- No, we're going to have some drinks and something to eat.

0:26:49 > 0:26:51Can't have a drink to make it bearable,

0:26:51 > 0:26:53I may be wearing proper shoes but I can't stand up in them

0:26:53 > 0:26:55and if I take them off I can't get them on again!

0:26:55 > 0:26:59And all these splendid men refuse to flirt with me because of my f...
