0:00:24 > 0:00:26TRIBAL CHANTING

0:00:32 > 0:00:34CONTINUES CHANTING

0:00:38 > 0:00:40MOBILE RINGS

0:00:42 > 0:00:47Hello. May the great spirits of goodness spread... They've done what?

0:00:47 > 0:00:50Cheers, Billy, I'm onto it.

0:00:55 > 0:00:59Sharon? They've pulled the meeting forward.

0:00:59 > 0:01:02Yep. Meet me at the Mill.

0:01:02 > 0:01:05Morning, Iris. Can't stop, I'm on the war path.

0:01:08 > 0:01:12Who was a hungry boy this morning? Joe was.

0:01:13 > 0:01:15I'll see you later.

0:01:15 > 0:01:17Are you OK? Come and give us both a kiss goodbye.

0:01:17 > 0:01:20I've got to get on, I've got a pile of paperwork to do. I'll see you.

0:01:25 > 0:01:28Perhaps Jack didn't hear what I said. Jack, breakfast!

0:01:28 > 0:01:31Yeah, he couldn't possibly have heard that first time round(!)

0:01:31 > 0:01:33Sorry, I was on the computer doing some research.

0:01:33 > 0:01:35Oh, that's what boys do on their computers, is it?

0:01:35 > 0:01:37"Research."

0:01:37 > 0:01:40Immie, not at the breakfast table.

0:01:40 > 0:01:41I've been thinking.

0:01:41 > 0:01:44You want to be careful, son, you'll strain something.

0:01:44 > 0:01:46About my future.

0:01:46 > 0:01:49Only getting a 2:2 means I'll have to try a little bit harder

0:01:49 > 0:01:51to get where I want be, so rather than banging on about

0:01:51 > 0:01:55the CAB volunteering thing, I've actually arranged an interview.

0:01:55 > 0:01:57- Good for you, son.- Well done.

0:01:57 > 0:01:59I just think that with the world the way it is,

0:01:59 > 0:02:03bankers getting paid massive bonuses while other people are starving,

0:02:03 > 0:02:05it's important for some of us to do the right thing.

0:02:05 > 0:02:07It'd be easy for me to go out there

0:02:07 > 0:02:09and make a fortune with some internet start-up,

0:02:09 > 0:02:12but I want to make a difference.

0:02:12 > 0:02:14And who's going to take care of the concierge business

0:02:14 > 0:02:16while you're busy playing Mother Theresa?

0:02:16 > 0:02:19I can do that as well. Plenty of Jack to go around.

0:02:19 > 0:02:21Have some breakfast.

0:02:21 > 0:02:25No, I'm going to go back upstairs, get my head in the game.

0:02:25 > 0:02:28OK, little man,

0:02:28 > 0:02:32what shall we do to cheer up Daddy, eh?

0:02:34 > 0:02:39Why don't we give him a lovely surprise?

0:02:39 > 0:02:43We could invite his best friend, Uncle Jimmi, round.

0:02:43 > 0:02:45What do you think of that idea?

0:02:45 > 0:02:46BABY GURGLES

0:02:46 > 0:02:53The only trouble is, we'd have to put up with brain-dead Aunty Cherry.

0:02:53 > 0:02:57Sorry, I'll be with you in a second. What name is it, please?

0:02:57 > 0:03:00Wolf Who Hunts At Night.

0:03:00 > 0:03:03Right, Mr Wolf Who Hunts...

0:03:03 > 0:03:04What was that again?

0:03:04 > 0:03:07Wolf Who Hunts At Night. I'm after Howard.

0:03:07 > 0:03:11- In what way? - It's OK, he's with me.- Sharon!

0:03:11 > 0:03:13Howard!

0:03:13 > 0:03:15- How!- How!

0:03:15 > 0:03:18I'm sorry to drop in unannounced but it's an emergency.

0:03:18 > 0:03:21It's that snake Wolstencroft again.

0:03:21 > 0:03:24He's really crossed a line this time.

0:03:24 > 0:03:27- He's brought the public meeting forward to tonight.- Right. You'd better come in.

0:03:31 > 0:03:33(Just when you think you know a person.)

0:03:33 > 0:03:36'Jimmi here, can't get to the phone so leave us a message.'

0:03:36 > 0:03:39I just know I'm going to regret this.

0:03:42 > 0:03:44MOBILE RINGS

0:03:47 > 0:03:48Zara?

0:03:48 > 0:03:51Cherry. How are you?

0:03:51 > 0:03:53Uh...I'm fine. You?

0:03:53 > 0:03:56'Good. Listen, I wondered'

0:03:56 > 0:04:02if you and Jimmi wanted to come over for some dinner later.

0:04:02 > 0:04:05'Tonight?'

0:04:05 > 0:04:07It's a surprise for Daniel.

0:04:07 > 0:04:09'He could do with some friends right now.'

0:04:09 > 0:04:11Uh... Well...

0:04:11 > 0:04:14I'm...I'm not sure, we might be busy.

0:04:14 > 0:04:18'I'll...I'll check with Jimmi and get back to you.'

0:04:18 > 0:04:22OK. Whatever. Bye.

0:04:22 > 0:04:24Bye.

0:04:27 > 0:04:31Bringing the public meeting forward at such short notice has got to be verging on the illegal.

0:04:31 > 0:04:33It's a cynical ploy by a cynical council.

0:04:33 > 0:04:35We're seeing it across the board -

0:04:35 > 0:04:37cutting funding for places and people that need it most.

0:04:37 > 0:04:43They don't know how important day centres like Pine Lodge are to those old ex-servicemen.

0:04:43 > 0:04:46Without them, the only human interaction some of them have

0:04:46 > 0:04:48is glimpsing the postman's backside after he's shoved

0:04:48 > 0:04:50a massive heating bill through their letter box.

0:04:50 > 0:04:53They know how important they are, they just don't care.

0:04:53 > 0:04:55My dad died a happy man because of that place

0:04:55 > 0:04:57and I'm not letting them cut the funding for it without a fight.

0:04:57 > 0:05:01You mean WE'RE not letting them cut the funding without a fight.

0:05:01 > 0:05:04I don't have to say "we" every time, Sharon.

0:05:04 > 0:05:06That's just the trouble, you never say it.

0:05:06 > 0:05:09You've got this way of making it sound like it's just you fronting this campaign.

0:05:09 > 0:05:12Come on, everyone knows you both deserve enormous credit

0:05:12 > 0:05:15for the fight you're putting up to save Pine Lodge.

0:05:15 > 0:05:17It's important to maintain a united front.

0:05:17 > 0:05:20You're right, Howard. Sorry.

0:05:20 > 0:05:24- They've tried to outmanoeuvre us but we're going to counter attack. - MOBILE CHIMES

0:05:24 > 0:05:26I'll get on the phones, mobilise the troops.

0:05:26 > 0:05:29We'll get some support out there for you tonight.

0:05:29 > 0:05:31- It's Anita.- Oh, God.

0:05:31 > 0:05:33I don't believe it.

0:05:33 > 0:05:36We've been staging a legitimate protest outside the council offices,

0:05:36 > 0:05:39and Wolstencroft's moved her on so he can show off

0:05:39 > 0:05:40in some photo opportunity.

0:05:40 > 0:05:43He can't do that! Let's sort this running dog out!

0:05:43 > 0:05:44Keep calm.

0:05:44 > 0:05:47We don't want to do anything to jeopardise our position

0:05:47 > 0:05:50at the meeting tonight. Stay focused.

0:05:50 > 0:05:52That means you not doing anything weird, OK?

0:05:52 > 0:05:56Weird? I don't know the meaning of the word.

0:06:02 > 0:06:05Good luck. I'll see you at the meeting tonight.

0:06:05 > 0:06:07Thanks for all your help, Howard.

0:06:07 > 0:06:09It's you two that are putting in the hard yards.

0:06:09 > 0:06:11May the Great Spirit walk with you,

0:06:11 > 0:06:13as he who comes from the kiln of creation,

0:06:13 > 0:06:15- and may he grant you the wisdom... - Oh, for crying out loud!

0:06:15 > 0:06:17Your goodbyes are taking longer and longer.

0:06:17 > 0:06:22- Wolstencroft will have his photo and be gone by the time we get there! - It's just good manners, Sharon -

0:06:22 > 0:06:26- something you need a lesson in! - Don't get me started, Terry.

0:06:26 > 0:06:27Who's the nutter?

0:06:27 > 0:06:30Mrs Hollins, you're supposed to be a health care professional.

0:06:30 > 0:06:34- Oh, sorry Who's the mentally-challenged person? - He is a bit eccentric

0:06:34 > 0:06:39He's a real Native American. Used to be Terry Smyth, watched Who Do You Think You Are, did his family tree,

0:06:39 > 0:06:41and found he was descended from a Sioux warrior.

0:06:41 > 0:06:43- Really?- Absolutely true.

0:06:43 > 0:06:45His great-great-granddad came over here

0:06:45 > 0:06:49with Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show in 1892 and never went back.

0:06:50 > 0:06:51It's still a bit odd, though.

0:06:51 > 0:06:55If I found out I was related to Lady Godiva, you wouldn't catch me

0:06:55 > 0:06:57riding around the streets on a horse naked.

0:06:57 > 0:06:59That's a bullet we've all dodged, then!

0:07:01 > 0:07:04- KAREN SMACKS KEVIN - Ow!

0:07:04 > 0:07:07So, Jack, what do you think you can offer the CAB?

0:07:09 > 0:07:12If I had to sum it up in one word? Expertise.

0:07:12 > 0:07:15You've just finished at uni, haven't you?

0:07:15 > 0:07:17That's right. I know I only got a 2:2,

0:07:17 > 0:07:20but that really wasn't a fair reflection of my ability.

0:07:20 > 0:07:25More than once the words "fine legal mind" appeared in my assessments.

0:07:25 > 0:07:28If I'm guilty of anything, it's spreading myself too thin.

0:07:28 > 0:07:31While I was there I did a spell with police forensics,

0:07:31 > 0:07:35I mentored some overseas students, I worked for the uni paper...

0:07:35 > 0:07:37I even broke a couple of real exclusives.

0:07:37 > 0:07:38A man of many talents.

0:07:38 > 0:07:41I do have a fairly extensive skill set.

0:07:41 > 0:07:45All that's missing is healing the sick and walking on water.

0:07:45 > 0:07:49I guess I'm just like the CAB, you know, I'm a one stop shop.

0:07:49 > 0:07:53Well, we're extremely grateful you're willing to spare us

0:07:53 > 0:07:57some of your valuable time, but the CAB offers you a lot in return.

0:07:57 > 0:08:01Apart from some invaluable practical experience,

0:08:01 > 0:08:03a placement with us can translate

0:08:03 > 0:08:06into six months off solicitor training.

0:08:06 > 0:08:07I've heard that.

0:08:07 > 0:08:10And it invariably leads to offers of full-time employment.

0:08:10 > 0:08:12OK.

0:08:13 > 0:08:17So you'll appreciate competition can be quite fierce.

0:08:19 > 0:08:23Yeah. I mean, it's bound to be.

0:08:24 > 0:08:29Now, do you mind if we talk about some areas not covered on your CV?

0:08:29 > 0:08:31Sure.

0:08:31 > 0:08:35What's your understanding of the relevant issues concerning

0:08:35 > 0:08:40the service user/client group and local community interface?

0:08:42 > 0:08:43What was that again?

0:08:43 > 0:08:45Never mind.

0:08:52 > 0:08:54I've just had a call from Zara.

0:08:54 > 0:08:57Isn't there a number you can ring to report abusive calls?

0:08:57 > 0:09:01She has invited us for dinner tonight.

0:09:01 > 0:09:04HE GROANS I wanted to go for a run.

0:09:04 > 0:09:08Again? Jimmi, it is every night.

0:09:08 > 0:09:10- I didn't go on Sunday. - Only because your trainers split

0:09:10 > 0:09:13and you couldn't get an identical pair until Monday.

0:09:13 > 0:09:17- I've got to stick to my schedule. - Well, you can't, because I told her we're going to be there.

0:09:21 > 0:09:24It gives me great pleasure to present this cheque

0:09:24 > 0:09:28to the Letherbridge Disability Advisory Centre,

0:09:28 > 0:09:30raised by council workers,

0:09:30 > 0:09:34but which reflects the council's ongoing commitment to the community.

0:09:34 > 0:09:37Like he gives a monkey's about the community!

0:09:37 > 0:09:40All he's interested in is showing off at the party conference

0:09:40 > 0:09:45- about how many cuts he's made without a thought for the misery it causes. Oh, he's a...- Rattlesnake?

0:09:45 > 0:09:47Thank you.

0:09:47 > 0:09:49- Right, I'm going up there and I'm going to have it out with him.- No!

0:09:49 > 0:09:52No, not now, we need to keep it low-key.

0:09:52 > 0:09:54We'll have our say at the meeting,

0:09:54 > 0:09:55he won't be able to run the show there.

0:09:58 > 0:10:01Oi! Wolstencroft!

0:10:03 > 0:10:05CROWD GASPS

0:10:05 > 0:10:07What was that?

0:10:07 > 0:10:10Well, I think that about wraps it up.

0:10:10 > 0:10:12Anything you want to ask, Jack?

0:10:12 > 0:10:14No.

0:10:14 > 0:10:18I don't think you'll have to wait a long time for my decision.

0:10:18 > 0:10:19I'll be in touch.

0:10:26 > 0:10:28Michael Wilson?

0:10:28 > 0:10:30What's he done now?

0:10:30 > 0:10:34Shot an arrow at Wolstencroft. Got him right on the forehead.

0:10:34 > 0:10:36Tell me there was a rubber sucker on the end of it.

0:10:36 > 0:10:39Of course. He's mad, not homicidal.

0:10:39 > 0:10:41Every time we go out to protest,

0:10:41 > 0:10:43Crazy Horse is there to screw it up for us.

0:10:43 > 0:10:45I take it you want me to have a word with him?

0:10:45 > 0:10:48Please. Half the time I think he's more interested in getting

0:10:48 > 0:10:50his picture in the paper than he is in saving Pine Lodge.

0:10:50 > 0:10:52That's a bit harsh.

0:10:52 > 0:10:55Look at that article we got in the paper.

0:10:55 > 0:11:00Was the headline, "Locals Take On Council Bullyboys?" No.

0:11:00 > 0:11:04It was, "Letherbridge Geronimo Wants Council Leader's Scalp,"

0:11:04 > 0:11:05and a big picture of Terry.

0:11:05 > 0:11:08Pine Lodge wasn't even mentioned until paragraph five.

0:11:08 > 0:11:12I see where you're coming from. He's flaky, he needs parameters.

0:11:12 > 0:11:16Exactly. I'd talk to him myself but we'll end up arguing.

0:11:16 > 0:11:18He respects you, though,

0:11:18 > 0:11:22he thinks you and him are kindred warrior spirits.

0:11:22 > 0:11:24Really?

0:11:24 > 0:11:27DOORBELL MIMICS WOLF'S HOWL

0:11:29 > 0:11:31Howard! May the great spirit of...

0:11:31 > 0:11:33Yeah, how, and all that. I haven't got much time.

0:11:33 > 0:11:36Of course. Come through.

0:11:36 > 0:11:38Mind the bison's head in the hallway.

0:11:38 > 0:11:42It's amazing what you can get on eBay these days.

0:11:42 > 0:11:44Wow.

0:11:44 > 0:11:47It's all authentic. Well, apart from the gas heater.

0:11:47 > 0:11:50Gets a bit brass buffalos in winter.

0:11:50 > 0:11:51Take a pew.

0:11:52 > 0:11:55Well, look, I need to...

0:11:56 > 0:11:59The...er...the mouse has popped out the house.

0:11:59 > 0:12:03Oh. Sorry about that. I don't often have visitors.

0:12:03 > 0:12:06I'll get straight to the point. This public meeting tonight...

0:12:06 > 0:12:09Wolstencroft is going to feel the full wrath of the Sioux nation.

0:12:09 > 0:12:12That's what worries me. Softly, softly, catchee monkey, eh?

0:12:12 > 0:12:14I'm not with you.

0:12:14 > 0:12:17Perhaps you could leave some of your accoutrements behind?

0:12:17 > 0:12:21Like the headdress, the skins, definitely the loin cloth.

0:12:21 > 0:12:25I can't believe I'm hearing this from you. You of all people!

0:12:25 > 0:12:27Would you ask a Sikh not to wear a turban?

0:12:27 > 0:12:29Or a Jew not to wear his Yarmulke ?

0:12:29 > 0:12:30Well, no.

0:12:30 > 0:12:34Then why ask me to deny my heritage, dishonour my ancestors?

0:12:34 > 0:12:36Sharon put you up to this, didn't she?

0:12:36 > 0:12:38She's just thinking about the campaign.

0:12:38 > 0:12:41No, she's jealous I might hog all the limelight.

0:12:41 > 0:12:45It's not my fault I'm a magnet for the paparazzi.

0:12:45 > 0:12:48I would never do anything to stop us saving Pine Lodge.

0:12:48 > 0:12:51I understand where you're coming from but other people might not.

0:12:51 > 0:12:54Can you tone it down? Just this once.

0:12:57 > 0:13:02OK, I'll leave the headdress off, and I'll go easy on the war paint.

0:13:02 > 0:13:05- No weapons. - Not even my favourite hunting spear?

0:13:07 > 0:13:11Good man! I'll let Sharon know we're ready to take on Wolstencroft.

0:13:11 > 0:13:14- Fancy some pemmican to chew on?- Yeah.

0:13:14 > 0:13:16It's dried buffalo.

0:13:26 > 0:13:30Right, that's dinner sorted. Thank God for ready meals.

0:13:30 > 0:13:33SHE EXHALES

0:13:34 > 0:13:36Oh! Looking rough.

0:13:38 > 0:13:40But not that bad.

0:13:42 > 0:13:43BABY CRIES

0:13:43 > 0:13:46Obviously worse than I thought.

0:13:46 > 0:13:51- Thanks for coming in.- Thank you. - Bye-bye.

0:13:51 > 0:13:53Mr Hollins. Still here?

0:13:53 > 0:13:56- Can I have a quick word?- Sure.

0:13:56 > 0:14:00I know that I screwed up my interview big time and there's no way back,

0:14:00 > 0:14:02but I just couldn't leave letting you think

0:14:02 > 0:14:07that the arrogant, smug, self-satisfied know-it-all

0:14:07 > 0:14:08you met earlier was the real me.

0:14:10 > 0:14:12- Not all the time, anyway.- Right.

0:14:12 > 0:14:15It would mean a lot for me to work here

0:14:15 > 0:14:18and to be able to make a difference to people's lives.

0:14:18 > 0:14:21I know there's a whole lot I don't know

0:14:21 > 0:14:25but I can promise you I am more than willing to learn.

0:14:30 > 0:14:33- Are you going out? - No, we're staying in.

0:14:33 > 0:14:36No riddles, please. I've had a nightmare day.

0:14:36 > 0:14:40- Well, luckily, I've got a surprise that'll cheer you up.- Oh.

0:14:40 > 0:14:42DOORBELL RINGS

0:14:42 > 0:14:44Takeaway.

0:14:44 > 0:14:46- Surprise!- Are we early?

0:14:49 > 0:14:52I cannot emphasise enough how saddened I am

0:14:52 > 0:14:55by the proposed closure of Pine Lodge,

0:14:55 > 0:15:00but the truth is that tough times call for tough measures.

0:15:00 > 0:15:03I assure you there are adequate facilities within the borough

0:15:03 > 0:15:07to take up the slack, although they will be slightly more spread out.

0:15:07 > 0:15:11So ignore the false information and scare tactics from the other side.

0:15:11 > 0:15:13Stop blustering. Stick to the facts!

0:15:13 > 0:15:18Facts! You'd like facts? How's this for a fact?

0:15:18 > 0:15:21I can prove that a member of your team has lied consistently,

0:15:21 > 0:15:23not only about this issue

0:15:23 > 0:15:26but also about his own exotic family background.

0:15:26 > 0:15:29He's no more Hiawatha's uncle than I am.

0:15:29 > 0:15:31That's rubbish! You take that back!

0:15:31 > 0:15:35Certainly. If the gentleman in question can prove me wrong.

0:15:39 > 0:15:42Now what have you done?

0:15:43 > 0:15:47Now, ladies and gentlemen, who would you prefer to listen to?

0:15:47 > 0:15:54Your elected representative or a man who appears to have very little grasp of reality?

0:15:54 > 0:15:58Allow me to outline the details of our proposal.

0:15:58 > 0:16:00Why did you invite them, anyway?

0:16:00 > 0:16:04I wanted to do something nice. Excuse me for trying(!)

0:16:04 > 0:16:06Nice would have been a glass of wine in front of the telly.

0:16:06 > 0:16:10The last thing I wanted after the day I've had was to come home and play the jolly host.

0:16:10 > 0:16:11When was the last time you were jolly?

0:16:11 > 0:16:14You've had this permanent miserable scowl on your face recently

0:16:14 > 0:16:16and I've frankly had enough of it.

0:16:16 > 0:16:18And I can't have a bad day at work now?

0:16:18 > 0:16:22- Sure you can, just don't bring it home with you! - Because you never do, do you?

0:16:22 > 0:16:25Regular Mary Poppins every time you sashay through the front door!

0:16:25 > 0:16:29There's a whole lot more jolly about me than you!

0:16:29 > 0:16:32Why don't you just let me do the champagne and you put your feet up?

0:16:32 > 0:16:34After all, it's what you're best at!

0:16:36 > 0:16:39Having fun listening to the adults arguing, are you?

0:16:39 > 0:16:43- You really do have a unique way of making the guests feel welcome, darling.- You can talk.

0:16:43 > 0:16:47You looked like Christmas had been cancelled when you opened the front door.

0:16:47 > 0:16:49Don't worry about it, we're used to it. Cheers.

0:16:49 > 0:16:51Happy days.

0:16:51 > 0:16:54Feels weird being here. Feel all nostalgic.

0:16:54 > 0:16:56If you want to buy it back, just let me know.

0:16:56 > 0:16:58You've not grown to love it, then?

0:16:58 > 0:17:02- Let's not go there, OK? - So what shall we talk about?

0:17:02 > 0:17:05Shall we talk about how I've spent the entire day making myself

0:17:05 > 0:17:08and this place look wonderful and you haven't even noticed?

0:17:08 > 0:17:11We compete about who can get the best shine on the toilet bowl these days.

0:17:11 > 0:17:15We thought you guys were going to be the Brad and Angelina of Letherbridge.

0:17:15 > 0:17:18Oh! We have our moments, don't we?

0:17:18 > 0:17:21- February was the last time. - Really, darling? I didn't notice.

0:17:28 > 0:17:30That was below the belt, Wolstencroft.

0:17:30 > 0:17:33Come on, Howard, all's fair in love and war, you should know that.

0:17:33 > 0:17:35Your turn, I think.

0:17:35 > 0:17:38This is my fault, I shouldn't have riled him.

0:17:38 > 0:17:43- Don't blame yourself, Howard. - Oh, I don't. I blame him.

0:17:43 > 0:17:47Why did you make up such a stupid story?

0:17:47 > 0:17:49I'm so sorry.

0:17:49 > 0:17:52I really did think I was related to the Sioux

0:17:52 > 0:17:55the first time I did my family tree.

0:17:55 > 0:17:59Who knew there could be two Ebenezer Smyths

0:17:59 > 0:18:03born in Smethwick's Sally Army's Mothers' Refuge on the same day?

0:18:03 > 0:18:05By the time I realised I'd traced the wrong one

0:18:05 > 0:18:08I was already living the Sioux lifestyle.

0:18:10 > 0:18:12It made me feel special.

0:18:12 > 0:18:17Being Wolf gave me the confidence to start the campaign to save Pine Lodge.

0:18:17 > 0:18:20To jointly start the campaign to save Pine Lodge.

0:18:20 > 0:18:23- You should have told us. - I know, I know. I screwed up.

0:18:23 > 0:18:26Come on, Terry, we haven't got all day.

0:18:26 > 0:18:31- I'm going to have to give my speech. - No, you can't, they won't believe a word you say now.

0:18:33 > 0:18:34I'll have to do it.

0:18:34 > 0:18:37- You haven't got anything prepared. - Tell me about it.

0:18:37 > 0:18:40Oh, here.

0:18:40 > 0:18:42Use mine.

0:18:51 > 0:18:56Aw, he's so cute. They're gorgeous at this age, aren't they?

0:18:56 > 0:19:00You think so? I can't wait until he's ready to go to the pub.

0:19:00 > 0:19:02Much more interesting.

0:19:02 > 0:19:04Have you actually cooked this evening?

0:19:04 > 0:19:07Define cooking.

0:19:07 > 0:19:09Preparing ingredients.

0:19:09 > 0:19:10Putting them together.

0:19:10 > 0:19:12- Putting them in the oven.- A-ha!

0:19:12 > 0:19:15Well, one out of those three, so I suppose it qualifies.

0:19:15 > 0:19:18Pine Lodge is such an important facility.

0:19:18 > 0:19:23It's the only dedicated building in the area for ex-servicemen,

0:19:23 > 0:19:26and despite what Councillor Wolstencroft says...

0:19:26 > 0:19:28You mean the big chief?

0:19:28 > 0:19:30ALL LAUGH

0:19:30 > 0:19:33..we should be angry at this reckless slashing

0:19:33 > 0:19:36of an invaluable local service.

0:19:36 > 0:19:40Are you on the warpath, then? ALL LAUGH

0:19:40 > 0:19:43This isn't a joke, you know!

0:19:47 > 0:19:49Wh...

0:19:49 > 0:19:52Here. Let me.

0:19:52 > 0:19:54Billy Liar's back! What a shambles.

0:19:54 > 0:19:56LAUGHTER

0:20:00 > 0:20:02Women, eh?

0:20:02 > 0:20:05You can't live with 'em, you can't throw 'em down the stairs.

0:20:05 > 0:20:08Don't get all Jim Davidson on me. It really doesn't suit you.

0:20:08 > 0:20:11- I was just joking.- Still.

0:20:13 > 0:20:15Everything OK?

0:20:15 > 0:20:17Peachy. Can't you see?

0:20:17 > 0:20:20Having a new baby's a biggie, it must change things.

0:20:20 > 0:20:23- HE SNORTS - What?

0:20:23 > 0:20:26I'm trying to work out whether you're being patronising or deliberately stupid.

0:20:26 > 0:20:29I'm trying to be a mate. You're not making it easy.

0:20:29 > 0:20:31A mate would have stayed away and given us some space.

0:20:31 > 0:20:33Zara invited us.

0:20:33 > 0:20:36So you thought you'd come over and watch the new parents struggle?

0:20:36 > 0:20:41- Did you think you'd feel better about your own relationship? - Me and Cherry are fine.

0:20:41 > 0:20:44Really? She's happy with you out running all the time?

0:20:44 > 0:20:46I'm just trying to get fit.

0:20:46 > 0:20:49Come on, Jim. How long have you been doing it? Two weeks?

0:20:49 > 0:20:53Already it dominates your life. It's your latest obsession, Jimmi.

0:20:53 > 0:20:55You've transferred all your OCD into running.

0:20:55 > 0:20:57I can be enthusiastic without being obsessed.

0:20:57 > 0:20:59And you know where to draw the line, do you?

0:20:59 > 0:21:03How do you feel about not being able to pound the pavements tonight? Cos I bet you wanted to.

0:21:03 > 0:21:05Little bit anxious, little bit irritated?

0:21:05 > 0:21:08Yeah, I'm anxious. Yeah, I'm irritated.

0:21:08 > 0:21:11I'm irritated by you and I'm anxious to leave.

0:21:11 > 0:21:14And that's not the least bit defensive?

0:21:14 > 0:21:16I'm going to go.

0:21:16 > 0:21:19- Why?- Daniel, what have you said?

0:21:19 > 0:21:21An inconvenient truth.

0:21:21 > 0:21:22That his obsession with running

0:21:22 > 0:21:25is just the latest manifestation of his OCD.

0:21:25 > 0:21:28I see he's not the only one in denial.

0:21:35 > 0:21:39Now, if we allow Pine Lodge to close...

0:21:39 > 0:21:43- Show us your chopper! - ALL LAUGH

0:21:45 > 0:21:50Actually, it's not called a chopper, it's called a tomahawk

0:21:50 > 0:21:53and it's a very interesting artefact.

0:21:53 > 0:21:58At one end is a chopping blade and the other end is a peace pipe.

0:21:58 > 0:22:02So when you were offered it, you chose war or peace.

0:22:04 > 0:22:06Isn't that neat?

0:22:06 > 0:22:08You see, unlike us,

0:22:08 > 0:22:12Native Americans treated their old warriors like royalty -

0:22:12 > 0:22:16cared for them, and revered them.

0:22:16 > 0:22:19Councillor Wolstencroft, on the other hand,

0:22:19 > 0:22:23wants to chuck our old soldiers out of a day centre they rely on.

0:22:24 > 0:22:30He says it's the tough choice, but it's not. It's the easy choice.

0:22:32 > 0:22:35Cut student grants and they're on the streets smashing things up.

0:22:35 > 0:22:40But these old soldiers have too much respect for society.

0:22:40 > 0:22:45They struggle on, uncomplaining, so they get ignored.

0:22:45 > 0:22:50They might have fought their wars 30 or 40 or 50 years ago,

0:22:50 > 0:22:52but they're still heroes.

0:22:53 > 0:22:56What sort of society do we want to be, eh?

0:22:57 > 0:22:59Cold, heartless and ungrateful?

0:22:59 > 0:23:03Or like the Sioux?

0:23:03 > 0:23:07One that shows that it cares and remembers.

0:23:15 > 0:23:18SMATTERING OF APPLAUSE

0:23:33 > 0:23:37OK, why don't we all just calm down?

0:23:37 > 0:23:40We don't want to spoil a lovely evening, do we?

0:23:40 > 0:23:42I've cooked. Ask Cherry.

0:23:42 > 0:23:45If they want to go, let them. It's no loss.

0:23:45 > 0:23:47Come on.

0:23:51 > 0:23:53Thanks(!)

0:23:53 > 0:23:56- Just telling him the truth. - The truth?

0:23:56 > 0:24:00Are you sure you want to open that particular can of worms?

0:24:08 > 0:24:10Jimmi, we've got to talk about this

0:24:10 > 0:24:13STARTS ENGINE

0:24:13 > 0:24:16Still no call from the CAB?

0:24:17 > 0:24:20It's not going to happen. I screwed it up. It's my own fault, end of.

0:24:20 > 0:24:22MOBILE RINGS

0:24:24 > 0:24:25I think that's them.

0:24:28 > 0:24:31Hello? Oh, hi, Stuart.

0:24:33 > 0:24:35What?

0:24:35 > 0:24:37That's brilliant!

0:24:39 > 0:24:41Oh, really?

0:24:41 > 0:24:43That's good to know.

0:24:43 > 0:24:46OK, Stuart, OK, bye.

0:24:47 > 0:24:52You are looking at the newest member of the CAB volunteers team!

0:24:52 > 0:24:54- That's great stuff. Well done, son. - I knew you'd do it!

0:24:54 > 0:24:57So you weren't as rubbish as you thought, then?

0:24:57 > 0:24:58I was, actually.

0:24:58 > 0:25:02First of all, I was cocky and a bit of a show-off, which didn't go down too well.

0:25:02 > 0:25:05Then I thought I should be honest, and he didn't buy that,

0:25:05 > 0:25:08- but he gave me the job anyway.- Why?

0:25:08 > 0:25:11Last week I did a concierge job and it was only for Stuart's mum!

0:25:11 > 0:25:17She liked what I did and he thinks I've got the diligence and responsibility they're looking for.

0:25:17 > 0:25:18I start training next week!

0:25:18 > 0:25:22- SHE SCREAMS WITH EXCITEMENT - Mum, calm down.

0:25:22 > 0:25:26Ah, Councillor Wolstencroft. Leaving without saying goodbye?

0:25:26 > 0:25:29So, Pine Lodge, have you made a decision?

0:25:29 > 0:25:32Well, I've been consulting with my colleagues

0:25:32 > 0:25:36and I made it clear that, after considering all the evidence,

0:25:36 > 0:25:39Pine Lodge is simply too important to the voters,

0:25:39 > 0:25:43er, the community, to simply let it disappear.

0:25:43 > 0:25:45I thought you might come to that conclusion.

0:25:51 > 0:25:54Thanks for saving me. And Pine Lodge.

0:25:54 > 0:25:56I did all right, then?

0:25:56 > 0:26:00- You did very well, Wolf Who Hunts At Night.- You don't have to call me that anymore.

0:26:00 > 0:26:03I'm calling you that because you deserve to be called it.

0:26:03 > 0:26:06You may not be a Sioux warrior on paper,

0:26:06 > 0:26:09but you're a real Sioux warrior there.

0:26:09 > 0:26:11- Do you forgive me?- Oh!

0:26:15 > 0:26:19- Blimey!- Does that answer your question?- I'll say.

0:26:19 > 0:26:22You know, you don't scrub up bad when you're not dressed like a loony.

0:26:24 > 0:26:26I don't suppose you fancy going for a drink?

0:26:26 > 0:26:29I'd love to. Howard?

0:26:29 > 0:26:32No, you go and enjoy yourselves.

0:26:32 > 0:26:34- Where shall we go? - How about Leary's?

0:26:34 > 0:26:38- No, Leary's is too loud. What about Dino's, the wine bar?- Too poncy.

0:26:38 > 0:26:41- Everywhere's too poncy for you. What about Banners?- No. The Grapes.

0:27:07 > 0:27:09Marjorie Page called for you. I said you'd be here.

0:27:09 > 0:27:13I don't know, my head's just a bit troublesome up there sometimes.

0:27:13 > 0:27:15Do you have any biscuits?

0:27:15 > 0:27:18Who do you think you are, getting in my face all the time?

0:27:18 > 0:27:20"You've got to go back. Time to confront your fears."

0:27:20 > 0:27:22Please don't make me go away.

0:27:22 > 0:27:24Nobody wants to make you do anything.

0:27:24 > 0:27:27But I want the social workers to come and see if they can help you.

0:27:27 > 0:27:29I don't need any help.
