0:00:51 > 0:00:53BABY CRIES
0:00:55 > 0:00:59- Oh, not again! - He's going to be the death of us.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03At least you don't have to go into work.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05Don't you dare play the breadwinner card!
0:01:05 > 0:01:08You can nap all day.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10- You have no idea. - SHE LAUGHS
0:01:10 > 0:01:13Oh, here we go, the martyred mother routine.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16I do my bit, Zara, as well you know.
0:01:16 > 0:01:20BABY CRIES In fact, I'll deal with him now.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23Did you just grow breasts overnight? He's hungry, Daniel.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25Well, can you feed him without making a meal of it?
0:01:25 > 0:01:29- Oh, you are so close to being kicked out of bed!- Goodness.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34Good morning, little man.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37How are you? How are you?
0:01:37 > 0:01:40You hungry?
0:01:40 > 0:01:42Yeah, you are! Come on, then...
0:01:42 > 0:01:44Coffee for Madame.
0:01:45 > 0:01:49- Not sure I want coffee.- Oh...
0:01:49 > 0:01:51Come back to bed.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54Oh, all right. You shameless woman.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03- What were you thinking before?- When?
0:02:03 > 0:02:07- You looked at me for a long time. - I thought you were asleep.
0:02:09 > 0:02:14- You don't get much peace with me, do you?- Peace can be overrated.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18Don't you sometimes feel like walking away?
0:02:18 > 0:02:20What kind of man would I be?
0:02:20 > 0:02:23More to the point, what kind of woman am I?
0:02:23 > 0:02:25Tender, loving...
0:02:25 > 0:02:27Packs a punch.
0:02:30 > 0:02:35- I'm sorry. - The therapy's working, isn't it?
0:02:35 > 0:02:40Oh, yeah. I come out feeling like I've won the lottery,
0:02:40 > 0:02:42absolutely convinced I'll never hurt you again.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45Then I let rip, and I hate myself for failing.
0:02:45 > 0:02:49You're not a failure. You're brave for facing up to it.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52I couldn't do it without you.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55We're in this together.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58We've been totally honest.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01It's our fight.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03We're going to win it.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06Come here.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11# I just killed a man
0:03:11 > 0:03:13# Put a gun against his head
0:03:13 > 0:03:17# Pulled the trigger, now he's dead
0:03:17 > 0:03:22# Mama, life has just begun
0:03:22 > 0:03:26# And now you've gone and thrown it all away... #
0:03:26 > 0:03:28SHE LAUGHS
0:03:28 > 0:03:30Hold on!
0:03:30 > 0:03:34- SHE LAUGHS - So, how did it go? As if I need to ask you.
0:03:34 > 0:03:38- Uh... We stayed up talking half the night.- Oh, yeah?!
0:03:38 > 0:03:40What about the other half of the night?
0:03:40 > 0:03:43That, Mrs Clay, is an outrageous suggestion!
0:03:45 > 0:03:48THEY LAUGH
0:03:48 > 0:03:50I just can't remember when I laughed so much.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52She's a scream, isn't she?
0:03:52 > 0:03:56- Oh, she has this gift for telling a story.- Yeah, I know.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59But at the same time she's... what do I mean? She's intuitive.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02- You know, you tell her something and she gets it.- Yeah.
0:04:02 > 0:04:03Let's catch up later.
0:04:03 > 0:04:07Yeah, but listen, there's none of that tortuous explanation with her.
0:04:07 > 0:04:11Like... Like I tend to do on first dates, second dates.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13Did I hear the word "date"?
0:04:13 > 0:04:16Yeah, Freya's been out on a date with Mandy.
0:04:16 > 0:04:20- At last! I told you you two were great together.- Early days.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22And, um...
0:04:22 > 0:04:26Is it... Well, are you compatible in the bedroom department?
0:04:26 > 0:04:27There's no complaints.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30I don't want you to think that I'm a pervert,
0:04:30 > 0:04:34- but is it the same as, like, a man and a woman?- Hardly!
0:04:34 > 0:04:38No, no, I mean... I mean, does one of you take the lead, or...
0:04:38 > 0:04:41- I'll see you later.- OK!
0:04:42 > 0:04:44- KNOCK AT DOOR - Enter!
0:04:48 > 0:04:52Um...I was hoping to look at Mr Weston's blood results
0:04:52 > 0:04:56- before his surgery. - No problem, this won't take long.
0:04:56 > 0:05:00- I just wondered if you'd had any more thoughts on Kevin.- Why would I?
0:05:00 > 0:05:02Since you'd calmed down, had time to reconsider.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05I'm not in the habit of making spur of the moment decisions.
0:05:05 > 0:05:09- I feel the same way now as I did then. Nothing has changed.- Yeah,
0:05:09 > 0:05:13but if we make an official complaint to the training body,
0:05:13 > 0:05:17it goes down on his record, and THAT could jeopardize his career.
0:05:17 > 0:05:21So I suggest we go back to Plan A and handle this internally.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24- Sweep it under the carpet!- You know me better than that, Heston!
0:05:24 > 0:05:28- The punishment should fit the crime. - Crime?
0:05:28 > 0:05:31I take the reputation of this practice seriously,
0:05:31 > 0:05:33even if you don't.
0:05:34 > 0:05:38- Why don't you just let me handle this. I'll send him a written warning...- Out of the question.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40..stating very clearly that if he does this again...
0:05:40 > 0:05:45This is my last word! I would like to get on with my day. Thank you.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49OK. If you insist.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53SHE SIGHS
0:05:59 > 0:06:03OK, my love, if you could book an appointment with Mrs Hollins,
0:06:03 > 0:06:05- same time next week. - Thank you.
0:06:05 > 0:06:09- Hey! Can you, erm...take a look at a patient for me?- Yeah, sure.
0:06:09 > 0:06:13I was just doing a routine blood test, and he mentioned headaches.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16- What is his name?- It's Bourne B-O-U-R...- Jason?
0:06:16 > 0:06:18SHE CHUCKLES
0:06:18 > 0:06:21No it's Cyril. Did I said something funny?
0:06:21 > 0:06:23Mandy used to think that her dad was a spy.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25Yeah, I know.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27Because he used to go out at weird times in the night
0:06:27 > 0:06:31- Yeah, and she didn't know where he was. - Yeah, and it turns out that, erm,
0:06:31 > 0:06:33he was a night-watchman at the cash and carry.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36Yeah, he was doing it for extra money. Pay the mortgage.
0:06:36 > 0:06:41- They were a bit embarrassed about it at the time. - She didn't mention that bit.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44Wouldn't worry about it. Should I, um...send Cyril in?
0:06:44 > 0:06:47Mr Bourne?
0:06:47 > 0:06:48Yeah, yeah.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11- Zara, hi, it's Julia.- Hi, Julia!
0:07:11 > 0:07:13I don't know which is worse,
0:07:13 > 0:07:16a wet nappy smell or the smell of the scented bag you put it in.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18Think yourself lucky!
0:07:18 > 0:07:22- There was a time when you used to have to wash nappies.- Oh, please!
0:07:22 > 0:07:25Um, look, is this a good time for a chat?
0:07:25 > 0:07:28- Well, I was just about to feed His Lordship.- Right, never mind then.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30I was just going to run something by you, that's all.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33If it's about anything other than babies,
0:07:33 > 0:07:35I am all ears. Why don't you pop over for lunch?
0:07:35 > 0:07:37Ooh, that would be lovely, thank you!
0:07:37 > 0:07:40Yeah. Good excuse to see Joe, anyway.
0:07:40 > 0:07:44- I'll tell him his Auntie Julia's coming. He will be delighted.- Bye.
0:07:48 > 0:07:53Oh, look at that sea! You know, they've ruined Benidorm.
0:07:53 > 0:07:54Behind that trashy facade
0:07:54 > 0:07:57is a lovely old village and cobbled streets.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00- I'd rather have the Canaries. - FREYA GIGGLES
0:08:00 > 0:08:02Freya?
0:08:02 > 0:08:06I'm sorry, it just reminded me of something Mandy said last night.
0:08:06 > 0:08:10- Oh, you've been on a date? Lovely! - Please do NOT encourage her.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13SHE LAUGHS Only when you said Canaries,
0:08:13 > 0:08:19it reminded me that Mandy's gran had this budgie called Mickey.
0:08:19 > 0:08:23- Really?- Yeah. Only what she didn't realise
0:08:23 > 0:08:27was that her husband had been teaching it to talk.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30- SHE LAUGHS - That's not the punchline.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32Anyway, so when he died,
0:08:32 > 0:08:36the vicar came round to talk about the service...
0:08:36 > 0:08:39Sorry, the vicar gave a service for the budgie?
0:08:39 > 0:08:42SHE LAUGHS UNCONTROLLABLY
0:08:44 > 0:08:48No! It was Mandy's granddad that had died!
0:08:48 > 0:08:49SHE LAUGHS
0:08:49 > 0:08:55So then the vicar sat down and offered his condolences,
0:08:55 > 0:09:00the little budgie piped up and said
0:09:00 > 0:09:04"I like a big bums!" SHE LAUGHS
0:09:04 > 0:09:06Yeah, I'm really pleased for you, Freya.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09- Oh, look! Is that the time? I'd better go. - FREYA AND CHERRY LAUGH
0:09:09 > 0:09:12- He's grown!- You think?
0:09:12 > 0:09:17Yeah, definitely. You have, haven't you?
0:09:17 > 0:09:22Dear, sweet, little, handsome boy. Yes, look at you smiling!
0:09:22 > 0:09:24Yes, you are!
0:09:24 > 0:09:27Look at these little fingers, and where are those toesy-woesies?
0:09:27 > 0:09:31This is what comes of being raised on the Flowerpot Men, I suppose.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33Babies like you to talk to them.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36There's nothing wrong with standard English.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39"Toe" is a lot less complex than "toesy-woesy", wouldn't you agree?
0:09:39 > 0:09:44- Yeah, suppose so.- Anyway, I'm gagging for some adult conversation.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46I hope you've brought some juicy gossip.
0:09:46 > 0:09:50Oh, I have, but I just want to see this little fella first.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52Oh, yes!
0:09:52 > 0:09:56Do you think he looks more like me or Daniel?
0:09:56 > 0:09:58Hmmmm...
0:09:58 > 0:10:02Bit difficult to say, really. I can see both of you in him.
0:10:04 > 0:10:08- He just smiled at me!- Aaah!
0:10:08 > 0:10:11- SHE LAUGHS - Indeed!
0:10:11 > 0:10:14It's only the second time.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16Excuse me while I rush to put it in my baby yearbook.
0:10:16 > 0:10:20I know, these little moments, these milestones, they're so exciting.
0:10:20 > 0:10:24Yes, they are! Anyway, there's nothing wrong with being proud.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27On the other hand, it could just be wind.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33- Karen, I'm off for lunch. - Ooh, you've got a visitor.
0:10:33 > 0:10:38- Ian! This is Marina's son, Ian. - Oh, hello!
0:10:38 > 0:10:42- What can I do for you?- I came to see how you are... kind of...
0:10:42 > 0:10:45- Did you? How thoughtful. - I wanted to talk.
0:10:45 > 0:10:49Splendid. We can do that over something hot and hearty.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52- Have you ever tried Tabby's Nook? - No.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55It's a tea-shop round the corner. My treat, of course.
0:10:57 > 0:11:01- There goes Heston's future stepson. - Do you think so?
0:11:01 > 0:11:03Bet you anything you like. Are you ready for lunch?
0:11:03 > 0:11:08- Yes, I'll go and grab Freya. - Aha! Great! She can't escape me now!
0:11:08 > 0:11:10CHERRY LAUGHS
0:11:11 > 0:11:14KNOCK AT DOOR Come in!
0:11:14 > 0:11:16Hello! You ready for lunch?
0:11:16 > 0:11:20Karen cannot wait to hear about "the date."
0:11:20 > 0:11:23Ah! Our resident sexologist!
0:11:23 > 0:11:25- Do you know what, I think I'll pass. - Oh, come on!
0:11:25 > 0:11:29She's the one person that would love to hear the Mandy stories.
0:11:29 > 0:11:33The ONE person... Do you mean the ONLY one?
0:11:33 > 0:11:37No, I just mean that she's always up for a laugh.
0:11:37 > 0:11:41Oh, OK, but I want to finish my blog first.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43Oh, telling the world, are you?
0:11:43 > 0:11:47- Must be serious if she's made it onto One Frank Female. - PHONE RINGS
0:11:47 > 0:11:50- Ooh, speak of the devil? - Yeah. Sorry.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53I'll, uh... I'll leave you to it.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58- Hello, you! - Hi! How's your day going?
0:11:58 > 0:12:00Well, it just got a whole lot better.
0:12:00 > 0:12:04- Oh, really? Why's that? - You know perfectly well.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06MANDY LAUGHS
0:12:06 > 0:12:10- Um... Listen, I've had an idea. - What have you got in mind?
0:12:10 > 0:12:14Well, I was wondering if you'd come to my craft group.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19Freya? Are you still there?
0:12:19 > 0:12:22SHE CLEARS HER THROAT Yeah, yes, uh...
0:12:22 > 0:12:26- When... When would that be? - Wednesday afternoon.
0:12:26 > 0:12:31Right, that actually, um... rings a bell. Let me just, um...
0:12:31 > 0:12:35I... I can't put my hand on my diary at the moment.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38What, you... You need to check your diary?
0:12:38 > 0:12:42- Are you playing hard to get? - No, no, no, no, no. Honestly.
0:12:42 > 0:12:43Right, well...
0:12:43 > 0:12:46Maybe you could have a look and ring me back, yeah?
0:12:55 > 0:12:58- Dr Carter.- Ah! Tabby.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01- As you can see, I've a special guest with me today.- Hello, there.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04- Your favourite table is free. - Wonderful.
0:13:04 > 0:13:08- Um, we'll have tea for two while we peruse the menu.- Peruse away!
0:13:08 > 0:13:11Our hot dish of the day is fish chowder.
0:13:11 > 0:13:15- Is it home made? - Of course!- Wonderful.
0:13:15 > 0:13:16TABBY CHUCKLES
0:13:16 > 0:13:19- That's Tabby, the owner. - Yes, I got that.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21Ah, the joys of tea in a china pot. Heston...
0:13:21 > 0:13:24As opposed to those horrible metal things with the leaky lids.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26- I didn't come here for a free lunch. - Oh?
0:13:26 > 0:13:29- You might not like what I'm going to say.- Mmm?
0:13:29 > 0:13:33- I need to talk about you and Mum. - Isn't that a private matter?
0:13:33 > 0:13:36I know she's been hitting you, Heston.
0:13:36 > 0:13:42- HE LAUGHS - That is one of the most ridiculous things I have ever heard!
0:13:42 > 0:13:45I've also made a Sachertorte.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47I know you're very partial to my chocolate ganache.
0:13:47 > 0:13:51- Do you think we could have a little bit more time?- No rush.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54Your mother is a lovely, caring woman,
0:13:54 > 0:13:56and we have a wonderful relationship.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59Look me in the eye and deny it. HESTON SIGHS
0:14:02 > 0:14:05There we are. You're all tucked up, warm and cosy.
0:14:05 > 0:14:09- Ah, lovely, thank you! - I'm afraid it's decaff.
0:14:09 > 0:14:13I'd kill for the real thing, but of course not while I'm breastfeeding.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16Oh, look! He looks excited to see me!
0:14:16 > 0:14:18He certainly knows his mum!
0:14:18 > 0:14:22Not that he can focus, of course, he must just be responding to my voice.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25Anyway, we've got this issue at work, and it involves...
0:14:25 > 0:14:28It is just so amazing, the mother-baby bond.
0:14:28 > 0:14:32I had really underestimated the sheer, uncompromising passion of it.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34I know, I remember the feeling well.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37You know, if all my loved ones were in a burning building,
0:14:37 > 0:14:40I would trample over Daniel and my father just to get to Joe.
0:14:40 > 0:14:44- I wouldn't tell Daniel that. - He would be mortified to think that
0:14:44 > 0:14:47he wasn't the centre of my universe. Ooh, ooh...
0:14:47 > 0:14:51- I've bought some shoes.- Ooh, come on then, let's have a look.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54Aah! Aren't they adorable?
0:14:54 > 0:15:00- THEY LAUGH - Uh, yes, they are. Aren't they a little bit big for him, though?
0:15:00 > 0:15:04For the time being, yes, but I couldn't resist. I found this website.
0:15:06 > 0:15:10- Um, I don't think we're going to be eating.- Why? Is something wrong?
0:15:10 > 0:15:13No, not at all, um... Ian has to leave.
0:15:13 > 0:15:17Just the tea, then. That's absolutely fine.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22- On your way. Don't wait, I'll settle the bill.- It's humiliating, isn't it?
0:15:22 > 0:15:27- I am fully in control of the situation.- So it is true?
0:15:27 > 0:15:30- I don't expect you to understand. - Try me.
0:15:31 > 0:15:35Your mother has anger management issues.
0:15:35 > 0:15:36That's one way of putting it.
0:15:36 > 0:15:41- And I am helping her deal with the situation.- It won't work.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43- SHOUTS:- How...
0:15:43 > 0:15:48- How can you possibly say that? - Because I've seen this all before.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51For years I watched her do this to my dad...
0:15:53 > 0:15:54..and now it's your turn.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06Oh! Hello! So the good news is, Karen has gone.
0:16:06 > 0:16:10The bad news is, she's scoffed the prawn and avocado.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15Stuffed turkey roll, that's all I need.
0:16:15 > 0:16:19- Oh, dear. You and Mandy had a row? - No.
0:16:20 > 0:16:25- She's invited me to craft group. - Aah! You should be honoured!
0:16:25 > 0:16:29- You ARE kidding?- No, I've always wanted to go to that class with her, and she won't let me!
0:16:29 > 0:16:33Right, I went to some of these classes at uni, OK?
0:16:33 > 0:16:38And stitch and bitch, knit and natter, whatever they're called,
0:16:38 > 0:16:41and it was absolute hell.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44It's just a bunch of overgrown teenagers
0:16:44 > 0:16:47gossiping about boyfriends or Kim Kardashian,
0:16:47 > 0:16:52and has so-and-so had the latest collagen implants?
0:16:52 > 0:16:53I don't... I don't care!
0:16:53 > 0:16:56So what's happened to Mandy being fascinating?
0:16:56 > 0:16:59She... She is...fascinating, but...
0:16:59 > 0:17:02It doesn't mean her friends will be, does it?
0:17:02 > 0:17:04You should be happy she wants you to meet them.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07It means that she thinks you're special.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10Come on, Cherry, this is so not me!
0:17:12 > 0:17:14What if we're incompatible?
0:17:17 > 0:17:21She'd blow up over something really stupid, like he'd forgotten to put the bin out.
0:17:21 > 0:17:25I'd always stick up for him, but he always made excuses.
0:17:25 > 0:17:29It was never her fault. She was ill, stressed, you name it.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31Sometimes he'd blame himself.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37Once, I was about eight...
0:17:37 > 0:17:41I hid under the bed, cos I couldn't stand seeing it any more.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44I heard him squeal.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49He'd always try not to cry when he knew I was around.
0:17:50 > 0:17:54Another time, I found him cowering in the shed.
0:17:54 > 0:17:56His nose was bleeding.
0:17:56 > 0:18:00He told me not to worry, everything would be OK, just a silly argument.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02This is all very well.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05What has this got to do with my relationship
0:18:05 > 0:18:07- with your mother? - Dad and I think it does.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10I told him about you, that you were a decent bloke.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13And he said it was only right that I should put you straight.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15Do you THINK I was born yesterday?!
0:18:15 > 0:18:18This is a deterrent to sabotage our relationship. You never liked me.
0:18:18 > 0:18:24- You'e hostile towards your mother. - You think I'm enjoying this?! - MARINA AND I HAVE MADE A COMMITMENT!
0:18:24 > 0:18:26And we are undergoing therapy to deal with this problem.
0:18:26 > 0:18:31You really think you're something special, don't you?! How long have you been together? A few months?
0:18:31 > 0:18:34My dad stuck it out for 20 years!
0:18:37 > 0:18:40- I understand her.- OK, OK, I give up. Have it your way.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43- Dr Carter... - I've told you we're not eating.
0:18:43 > 0:18:47Indeed you did. So I'm afraid I need your table.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50I'm out of here. I tried to warn you, Heston.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52I'm...sorry, Tabby...
0:18:52 > 0:18:56I think you should leave, before you cause any further embarrassment.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58I... I won't charge you for the tea.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22Gone are the days when survival kit meant lipstick and credit card.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25Now, I'm packing nappies, baby wipes...
0:19:25 > 0:19:29But, of course, you know that. Been there, done that.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32Well, beng a new mum, you've got loads of new stuff to learn.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34But it doesn't mean my brain has turned to mush.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37- Now, I'm going to shut up and let you talk about work.- Oh, OK...
0:19:37 > 0:19:39How's Marina?
0:19:39 > 0:19:43- Marina, um... Fine, far as I know. - That woman is brilliant at her job.
0:19:43 > 0:19:47Honestly, I really underestimated what health visitors did,
0:19:47 > 0:19:50- but she is a godsend.- There aren't many around with her experience.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53- Anyway, sorry, you were going to tell me something?- Yes.
0:19:53 > 0:19:58- We've got a situation at work with Kevin and his training, and... - BABY GURGLES
0:19:58 > 0:20:00How cute is that?
0:20:00 > 0:20:03Oh, no! You're covered in poop! How did that happen?!
0:20:03 > 0:20:06You're obviously feeding him too much.
0:20:06 > 0:20:10- Joe, how did you manage that? - Listen, I'm going to make a move.
0:20:10 > 0:20:12Oh, go on, desert me in my hour of need!
0:20:12 > 0:20:15I'm sorry. It's the usual - too much paperwork.
0:20:15 > 0:20:20- Swap you!- Hey, careful, I might take you up on that.
0:20:20 > 0:20:24Mind you, on the other hand, I think I'm going to leave you to it.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26Bye-bye, sweetie. You're a model mum.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29Is that supposed to make me feel better?
0:20:33 > 0:20:35PHONE RINGS
0:20:37 > 0:20:41- Yes, Karen?- Hi, Heston.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44Afternoon surgery is just about to start and you're not here.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46Evidently.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49I just wondered if you'd told me you were off and I'd forgotten?
0:20:49 > 0:20:51No, it's my fault.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53Are you all right?
0:20:53 > 0:20:57Oh, lunch has been a disaster. Ian was taken ill
0:20:57 > 0:20:59and I had to run him home.
0:20:59 > 0:21:04Now I'm feeling a bit queasy, I don't think I should come in.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07Aw, is it something you've eaten?
0:21:07 > 0:21:10Yeah, I think Tabby's chowder was to blame.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13Ah, see, chowder is a posh way of using leftovers.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16Probably some old haddock the cat wouldn't eat.
0:21:16 > 0:21:20Yeah, I don't think I'll be eating there again.
0:21:20 > 0:21:21Heston?
0:21:23 > 0:21:27- Yeah, I'm sorry about this, Karen. - It's all right. I'll organise cover.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29Yeah, I'll see you tomorrow.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31OK, bye-bye.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35- Heston's got the trots.- Oh, dear.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37Can you and Freya cover between you?
0:21:37 > 0:21:39- Yep, we'll manage. I'll let her know.- Thank you.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42See if you can't get some gossip about her date with Mandy.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45- She's not talking about it. - Really? I hadn't noticed.
0:21:45 > 0:21:49Well, it's daft. Cos we're all broad-minded, aren't we?
0:21:49 > 0:21:51You've got a customer.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53Hello, what can I do for you?
0:21:56 > 0:21:58Just to let you know, Heston's off sick.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01- We're going to have to cover.- OK.
0:22:03 > 0:22:08- Trouble in paradise? - Trust me, you don't want to know
0:22:08 > 0:22:12and I'm well aware that I've bored you lot rigid already.
0:22:12 > 0:22:16Actually, to be honest, I'm a little bit jealous.
0:22:16 > 0:22:20A new relationship? Very exciting.
0:22:20 > 0:22:26Exciting? Yeah, would you be seen dead at a craft group?
0:22:26 > 0:22:28I'd give it a go.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30But it's all so...girly!
0:22:32 > 0:22:34What happened to female empowerment?
0:22:34 > 0:22:38You never know, crochet could turn out to be a fascinating hobby.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41Come on, Elaine, give me some credit.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43Isn't this about compromise?
0:22:43 > 0:22:47I don't do compromise.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49- Mandy does.- What do you mean?
0:22:49 > 0:22:53Didn't she come to your five-a-side football?
0:22:53 > 0:22:56She was probably dreading it, but did it for your sake.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59- Because it mattered to you. - Pile on the guilt, why don't you?
0:22:59 > 0:23:02All relationships are about compromise, one way or another.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05You can't expect people to fall in
0:23:05 > 0:23:07with what you want to do all the time.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09OK, if that's true
0:23:09 > 0:23:12why can't I just tell Mand I don't want to go to craft group?
0:23:12 > 0:23:15Because it would hurt her feelings.
0:23:35 > 0:23:39Heston! How long have you been there?
0:23:41 > 0:23:44Not like you to make a discreet entrance.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46I'm doing pork chops.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49What sort of potatoes do you want, mashed or boiled?
0:23:51 > 0:23:54- Whatever you want. - Mashed it is, then.
0:24:00 > 0:24:04What about veg? We've got broccoli or carrots?
0:24:04 > 0:24:06Or there's sweetcorn?
0:24:06 > 0:24:09Hello? Earth calling Heston.
0:24:09 > 0:24:13Sorry. I thought I'd have a quick shower before dinner.
0:24:13 > 0:24:16- Are you OK? - Fine. I'm a bit tired.
0:24:16 > 0:24:19Listen, I'll open a really nice bottle of red.
0:24:19 > 0:24:20Give it time to breathe.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23Or is it white with pork?
0:24:23 > 0:24:25- I'd prefer red.- OK.- Thank you.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17Hope I haven't cremated the chops.
0:25:17 > 0:25:20I'm always wary of under-cooking pork.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22Must say, they look a bit dry.
0:25:22 > 0:25:26- You not hungry? - Sorry.
0:25:27 > 0:25:29What's up with you tonight?
0:25:29 > 0:25:30Did you hit Ken?
0:25:33 > 0:25:35Is that something you have to think about?
0:25:35 > 0:25:38You've been talking to Ian.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41- You know he's always hated us being...- So it's not true?
0:25:41 > 0:25:46Look me in the eye and say it's not true.
0:25:46 > 0:25:50Ken and I, we had our problems for a time.
0:25:50 > 0:25:55- What? 20 years?- It's in the past. It doesn't matter now. - How can you say that?!
0:25:55 > 0:25:58Heston, I didn't lie to you. If you'd asked me if I'd hit Ken,
0:25:58 > 0:26:02- I would have admitted it. - I didn't ask the right questions? - I didn't want to lose you.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05You misled me. You made me think I was the trigger.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08I was blaming myself!
0:26:08 > 0:26:11Now you know it's not you, it takes the pressure off.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14Ken wasn't right for me.
0:26:14 > 0:26:18- So you hit him. - Listen to me, Heston, please.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21All those years I spent with Ken,
0:26:21 > 0:26:27not realising how life could be so much more fulfilling.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30Now I've got everything I ever wanted with you.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33OK, we have our differences.
0:26:33 > 0:26:37- You like stilton and I like chedder. - Oh, for pity's sake!
0:26:37 > 0:26:40Oh, please, Heston - please don't give up on me now.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43Not when we're so close to winning.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46I love you to bits, you know I do.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50Please don't say it changes anything.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57- You don't seem yourself. - I've never been better.
0:26:57 > 0:26:59Kevin, please don't argue with me.
0:26:59 > 0:27:01Will you stop man-handling me?
0:27:01 > 0:27:04- Will you stop complaining? - Well, get on with it.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07There is no "his side of the story".
0:27:07 > 0:27:11Something's come up and I want to know what to do.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14- Next thing, you know... - Cupid's dart had struck.
0:27:14 > 0:27:16180!
