0:00:26 > 0:00:29TICKING
0:00:29 > 0:00:30It's ticking.
0:00:31 > 0:00:35Ticking? What is? Your package.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38Haven't upset someone recently, have you? Do bombs still tick?
0:00:38 > 0:00:40Oh, don't be ridiculous. It's not a...
0:00:47 > 0:00:48Knife.
0:01:08 > 0:01:09MOBILE RINGS Argh!
0:01:09 > 0:01:12Sorry, sorry! OK, that's me, that's me.
0:01:12 > 0:01:13I've got to get this.
0:01:13 > 0:01:14Oh!
0:01:15 > 0:01:17I'm going in.
0:01:23 > 0:01:24What is it?
0:01:24 > 0:01:25Heston?
0:01:27 > 0:01:29We have a problem.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32So, I've compiled a list of all the state schools we're eligible for.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34You mean Joe's eligible for?
0:01:34 > 0:01:37Yes, of course. The trouble is, there's so much information,
0:01:37 > 0:01:41I'll not find time to go through it all. Maybe you could? What?
0:01:41 > 0:01:42Go through it.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45I've got a full patient list and house calls on top.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48I'm picking up Joe from the childminder this afternoon.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51We're going to the park and we've already wasted so much time.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54Zara, he's two. You'll be worried about universities next.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57To get to university, he'll have to go to a decent school.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00Oh! When he ends up working in a call centre, we'll know who to blame.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03Don't say that. Hermione, listen, calm down.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06It won't be that bad. You're just panicking.
0:02:06 > 0:02:11OK? Yeah, OK. But... But...
0:02:11 > 0:02:12Hermione, stop!
0:02:12 > 0:02:15I'll come round, OK?
0:02:15 > 0:02:18Yep, lunchtime. I'll be there, just stay put.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24It's very handsome. Who sent it?
0:02:24 > 0:02:27"Dear Heston, Thank you for everything,
0:02:27 > 0:02:29"Kind regards, Fiona Michaels."
0:02:30 > 0:02:33Sadly, I don't accept gifts. Well, not from patients.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36Really? Oh, that's a shame.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39Anyway, whatever you do with it, it can't stay here.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41Well, I... I can't be responsible for it.
0:02:41 > 0:02:45Besides, it'll drive me mad. I can't abide a ticking clock. Never could.
0:02:49 > 0:02:53Dr Carmichael, your surgery has officially started. Yeah.
0:02:53 > 0:02:54Yeah, five minutes.
0:02:54 > 0:02:58Three minutes? What is the problem?
0:02:58 > 0:03:01You wouldn't... The school hunt.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04Ofsted reports, league tables... I don't even know where to start.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06It is all a waste of time, in my opinion.
0:03:06 > 0:03:10Mrs Miggins, from my church, she was only saying
0:03:10 > 0:03:12last week, in her experience,
0:03:12 > 0:03:15the league tables do not reflect the level of teaching, at all.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18You may as well pick the nearest school to you.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20That is really not helping.
0:03:21 > 0:03:22Three minutes.
0:03:24 > 0:03:25Can I help you?
0:03:25 > 0:03:27I'd like an appointment, for my son.
0:03:27 > 0:03:32He has a rash. I am so sorry, we have no slots available today.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35But it has to be today. I can't take time off tomorrow.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38Kirsty, long time, no see! It's so lovely to see you!
0:03:38 > 0:03:42Zara! It's been too long. I've been meaning to get in touch for ages.
0:03:42 > 0:03:46You have? Yes, how about a catch-up this afternoon?
0:03:46 > 0:03:50A coffee somewhere, on me. I can't. I'm trying to get an appointment
0:03:50 > 0:03:53for my son this afternoon. He has a rash. I could take a look,
0:03:53 > 0:03:55over coffee. (No need for an appointment.)
0:03:55 > 0:03:58Really? Yes. How about 1pm, Cafe Vera?
0:03:58 > 0:04:00It's got a play area.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03Joe loves it. OK, if you're sure?
0:04:03 > 0:04:05Of course. It'll be nice to catch up on all your news.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08Right, then. See you later,
0:04:08 > 0:04:09at one.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14Your three minutes are up, Doctor Carmichael.
0:04:20 > 0:04:21But why, Heston?
0:04:21 > 0:04:23'I don't understand.'
0:04:23 > 0:04:26Well, the Shipman case spoilt it for everyone, I'm afraid.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29It just looks bad. 'Nonsense.'
0:04:29 > 0:04:33Never cared what anyone thought. I'm not going to start now.
0:04:33 > 0:04:34Especially not now.
0:04:34 > 0:04:38Yes, I saw your consultant's letter. I'm sorry it wasn't better news.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40Then, accept my gift.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43You've been good to me. I want you to have it.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45Yes, but, Fiona...
0:04:45 > 0:04:51Better you than some stranger at the inevitable dreary house clearance.
0:04:51 > 0:04:52'What do you say?'
0:04:52 > 0:04:54CLOCK CHIMES
0:04:54 > 0:04:55Oh!
0:04:55 > 0:04:57SHE CHUCKLES
0:04:57 > 0:04:59Charming old thing,
0:04:59 > 0:05:01isn't it? Indeed.
0:05:01 > 0:05:02Very persuasive.
0:05:09 > 0:05:10I think I've cracked it.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13Our schooling problems.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16A coffee with Kirsty Bowness.
0:05:16 > 0:05:17Oh! Who's Kirsty Bowness?
0:05:17 > 0:05:20From my old antenatal class.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23I thought you disliked everyone in that group, intensely.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26I do, but she doesn't know that.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29Anyway, if anyone knows what's what about all local schools, she will.
0:05:29 > 0:05:30She's the type.
0:05:30 > 0:05:35She won't mind having her brains picked by you? She won't know.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37That silly mothers' group are always hounding me
0:05:37 > 0:05:41with their stupid e-mails. They are dying to have me in their gang.
0:05:41 > 0:05:45Hmm. So, you're going to use your charm and ample guile, are you?
0:05:45 > 0:05:50Yeah, I shall twist them around my little finger. You watch.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58I've been drinking gallons of cranberry juice.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01And the burning sensation hasn't eased?
0:06:01 > 0:06:04No. So now I'd like a prescription for antibiotics.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07I'd like to do a urine sample. It could be something else.
0:06:07 > 0:06:11What else could it be? Just bear with me for a couple of minutes.
0:06:17 > 0:06:21CLOCK CHIMES
0:06:21 > 0:06:28If you're looking for sample pots, they are back in the store cupboard,
0:06:28 > 0:06:31where they belong. We're having a new year's tidy up.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34Excuse me, Miss Figgis? Miss Figgis?
0:06:34 > 0:06:38This clock belongs to me. See here, "Brompton Sons"
0:06:38 > 0:06:41bought for two guineas by my grandfather, in 1926,
0:06:41 > 0:06:43Passed to my father, then, rightly, to me.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45That was given to me by a patient.
0:06:45 > 0:06:49Just because she married him hours before he died does not mean she can
0:06:49 > 0:06:51hand out his belongings, like sweets!
0:06:51 > 0:06:53Miss Figgis... You ask her.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56You ask her whose it is. She won't deny it. She can't!
0:06:58 > 0:07:03Yeah, that one looks nice. A primary school teacher looks "nice".
0:07:03 > 0:07:06That shop is cool and funky. She's going to think I look like
0:07:06 > 0:07:08a fuddy-duddy. No, she won't. You're not.
0:07:08 > 0:07:13Just be yourself. No! If I'm myself, I definitely won't get the job.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16What if I say something really un-PC?
0:07:16 > 0:07:19What if I tell her she's overweight? Is she overweight?
0:07:19 > 0:07:22I don't think so.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25Listen, I think you're getting WAY too wound up about this.
0:07:25 > 0:07:30Why don't you think of it like...a play or something?
0:07:30 > 0:07:32Have you got a pen and paper?
0:07:33 > 0:07:36But why did you allow her to take it, Heston?
0:07:36 > 0:07:38Other than rugby tackling her,
0:07:38 > 0:07:40I don't know what else I could have done.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42A karate chop might've done the trick.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45Oh, where is it, where is it?
0:07:45 > 0:07:48It might help if you didn't have so much in your bag.
0:07:48 > 0:07:52I never know when I'm going to be carried off to finally kark it, do I?
0:07:52 > 0:07:56I need to keep the important stuff close. You dropped this.
0:07:56 > 0:08:02Oh. That's the letter Harry wrote me, before he died.
0:08:02 > 0:08:03Asked me to marry him.
0:08:05 > 0:08:06SHE SIGHS
0:08:06 > 0:08:07Let me help.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13Only half. It makes me drowsy.
0:08:13 > 0:08:17Are you sure that's enough to manage the pain?
0:08:17 > 0:08:20I need to stay awake, where we're going. We?
0:08:20 > 0:08:23Where are WE going? Well, where do you think?
0:08:23 > 0:08:24To get your clock back.
0:08:24 > 0:08:28I assume you're not going to allow a dying woman to walk?
0:08:32 > 0:08:34So, that looks like a bit of eczema.
0:08:34 > 0:08:38I'll prescribe you some hydrocortisone cream. Thank you.
0:08:38 > 0:08:42It's so easy to get over-worried about these things, isn't it?
0:08:42 > 0:08:45Carry on, boys. Now, you can play with anything you want.
0:08:45 > 0:08:49I'll sort the kids out. You get the lattes in, then you can tell me
0:08:49 > 0:08:52why you REALLY wanted to meet for coffee. What do you mean?
0:08:53 > 0:08:57OK, I really just wanted to pick your brains about primary schools.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00You mean, you haven't got Joe on a list yet?
0:09:00 > 0:09:06Not yet, no. For heaven's sake, Zara, what HAVE you been doing?
0:09:10 > 0:09:12DOORBELL CHIMES
0:09:12 > 0:09:15Now, please, let's handle this gently.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17She doesn't know the meaning of the word.
0:09:19 > 0:09:20Fiona.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22Natalie. Hello, Miss Figgis. May we have a word?
0:09:22 > 0:09:24Stuff having a word.
0:09:24 > 0:09:25Where's my clock?!
0:09:31 > 0:09:33Still single, I see.
0:09:33 > 0:09:34Do you mind?
0:09:34 > 0:09:37So, where's the doctor's clock?
0:09:37 > 0:09:40It's Daddy's clock. Was.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43He left it to me. I gave it to Heston. You've stolen it.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45Reclaimed it.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47You never cared a jot for that clock, until now.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49Not true. And it would've been left to me,
0:09:49 > 0:09:52if Daddy and I had still been talking.
0:09:52 > 0:09:56But you weren't, were you? You were sulking. Never wanted to share him.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59Not true, again. You swooped in when he was vulnerable.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02I really don't want the clock, if it's going to cause
0:10:02 > 0:10:04this much bad feeling. Oh, yes, you do!
0:10:04 > 0:10:06It's a present from your grateful patient and friend.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08And you accepted it.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11Now, I didn't come here to rehash old arguments, Natalie.
0:10:11 > 0:10:17I came to take it. So, where is it? You won't find it. Just watch me.
0:10:26 > 0:10:30This is a list of all the local schools that Joe's eligible for.
0:10:30 > 0:10:34This is from 2012. The catchment boundaries have changed.
0:10:34 > 0:10:38They built a large housing estate here. Really?
0:10:38 > 0:10:41So you can cross off that school and that school from your list.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44But those are the two best. There's still time to move house.
0:10:44 > 0:10:48That's not really an option. What about Linway Hill? Doubt it.
0:10:48 > 0:10:52Sheila McKay couldn't get Evie in there and she's closer than you.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55Marsfield? No!
0:10:55 > 0:10:57Both Katlyn Marsh and Joanne Kenrick have triplets.
0:10:57 > 0:11:01IVF. Linda Cummins couldn't get her Isla
0:11:01 > 0:11:04on their list, so I know, for a fact, they're full.
0:11:04 > 0:11:09So, what about the nearest school, Pineborough? Seriously?
0:11:09 > 0:11:10What's wrong with it?
0:11:10 > 0:11:16It's been Special Measures for six years. Has dire SATs. It's rough.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19It's in a poor area. It must be improving.
0:11:19 > 0:11:23The Ofsted grading is good. Anyway, league tables aren't everything.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26Well, you might not mind Joe rubbing shoulders with kids
0:11:26 > 0:11:29who are smoking by eight, but I would.
0:11:31 > 0:11:32No, Albie...
0:11:32 > 0:11:34Darling, put that back.
0:11:37 > 0:11:38'You're not even'
0:11:38 > 0:11:43warm. Maybe I should leave you two to it. I really must be going.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45Stay where you are, Heston. It's your clock.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47MY clock.
0:11:47 > 0:11:48Why is it so important to you?!
0:11:48 > 0:11:52You've got your inheritance, what more do you want?
0:11:52 > 0:11:53It's not about money.
0:11:53 > 0:11:57It's about family, about loyalty to Daddy. And you had none.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59Relationships are complicated things.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02I wouldn't expect a buttoned-up little spinster
0:12:02 > 0:12:05like you to understand. It's better than being a flaky old soak!
0:12:05 > 0:12:09Please! Name-calling will get us nowhere.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11Quite right. Enough of this.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15I'm going to report a theft
0:12:15 > 0:12:17and you're going to be arrested. Ladies, ladies!
0:12:17 > 0:12:19Why don't I phone a lawyer friend
0:12:19 > 0:12:22and whoever he says it legally belongs to,
0:12:22 > 0:12:25it belongs to. Good idea?
0:12:30 > 0:12:34Can't take my eye off him for a second. He's just so inquisitive.
0:12:34 > 0:12:38Now, what were we talking about? Oh, yes,
0:12:38 > 0:12:43there is another option, you know, but, well,
0:12:43 > 0:12:45perhaps it isn't for you. Why wouldn't it?
0:12:45 > 0:12:49Entry is strict. They're quite particular these days.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52Would require some effort, on your part.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54I don't mind effort. What school is it?
0:12:54 > 0:12:56Heathdean. It's C of E.
0:12:56 > 0:13:01Ah, no. Yes, religion's not really our thing. We're more atheist.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04Yes, but it wouldn't take much to join a church, get baptised.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06Who would know?
0:13:06 > 0:13:08If you think I'm exposing myself or my son
0:13:08 > 0:13:10to some happy-clapping God squad...
0:13:10 > 0:13:13Perhaps you're right. Pineborough may not be so bad.
0:13:13 > 0:13:17Perhaps it's worth taking a gamble.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19After all, it's only your son's primary education.
0:13:21 > 0:13:22I've always had an eye for fashion
0:13:22 > 0:13:24and I believe in bringing items together
0:13:24 > 0:13:27to create a unique and electric style...
0:13:27 > 0:13:29It's "eclectic", not "electric".
0:13:29 > 0:13:34I believe in bringing items together to create a unique and eclectic...
0:13:34 > 0:13:36eclectic style.
0:13:36 > 0:13:37OK. Good.
0:13:37 > 0:13:42And remember to be natural, and smile.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46OK, next - what previous experience do you have?
0:13:49 > 0:13:51What if they don't ask these questions?
0:13:51 > 0:13:53They're bound to ask you something similar,
0:13:53 > 0:13:54just stick to the lines, you're on a winner.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59So if you could phone me back ASAP that would be much appreciated.
0:13:59 > 0:14:00Thanks, William.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04He's going to call me back.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07Well, I suppose I'll put the kettle on.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10Don't be tight, I want some digestives.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15I appreciate you being here, Heston.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17I realise it's awkward for you.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20Well, step relationships are difficult at the best of times.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23Oh, she's not my stepdaughter. I'm her mother.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28But she said you married her father just before he died.
0:14:28 > 0:14:29Second time around.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32First time we were together for 11 years.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34Oh, you remarried?
0:14:34 > 0:14:35Over the hospital bed.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38It turns out I was the love of his life after all.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41So that's what Natalie meant.
0:14:41 > 0:14:43Oh, she was furious with us.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45She wouldn't speak to him for some time.
0:14:45 > 0:14:49Well, she and I never got on, so no change there.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51Not even when she was growing up?
0:14:51 > 0:14:54She was already at boarding school when we got divorced,
0:14:54 > 0:14:56and she spent holidays with Harry.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58She always preferred her father.
0:14:58 > 0:15:02I'm afraid, Dr Carter, my mother's version of events differs from mine.
0:15:02 > 0:15:03That's not how it was at all.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09Well, thank you for the advice.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12It seems like you really have done your homework.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14Not really. Picked up a lot from our monthly group meetings.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17Ah, yes, about that, perhaps I should come and join the next one.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19It seems like it's a font of information.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21I don't think so.
0:15:21 > 0:15:23I don't think it's very you.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25No? Why not?
0:15:25 > 0:15:27You're not really...
0:15:27 > 0:15:29our type.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32Well, then, why do you keep sending me
0:15:32 > 0:15:35endless e-mails about tedious coffee mornings and pizza nights?
0:15:35 > 0:15:37Am I really?
0:15:37 > 0:15:41Hmm, must remember to delete your address from the round-robin e-mail.
0:15:41 > 0:15:45As I remember, everyone disliked you intensely.
0:15:46 > 0:15:47Really? Well, I...
0:15:47 > 0:15:50To be honest, Zara, we know what you think of us,
0:15:50 > 0:15:52and we don't think much of you, either.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54I only came for the check-up.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56Well, I only came for the information. I know.
0:15:56 > 0:16:01Honestly, imagine leaving your child's education to the last minute.
0:16:01 > 0:16:03Good luck with that, by the way.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05You're certainly going to need it.
0:16:09 > 0:16:14The whole summer holidays of 1979 I only saw her twice.
0:16:14 > 0:16:15She preferred her work.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18She was on a French exchange for four weeks.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20Two weeks. Four weeks.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23I picked you up from Dover, remember?
0:16:23 > 0:16:25And you didn't say a word to me all the way home.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29Top up. Shall I be mother?
0:16:29 > 0:16:31Well, somebody has to be.
0:16:31 > 0:16:32It was certainly never you.
0:16:32 > 0:16:35Oh, change the record!
0:16:35 > 0:16:40It was the '70s, there were no creches, no maternity leave.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43I was the only female professor in the whole university.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46Just admit it, you resented motherhood and you resented me.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48No, you resented me.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50And your father certainly did -
0:16:50 > 0:16:53once I got the professorship everything changed.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55Nonsense, my father always supported women's lib.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58Not when it came to his own wife earning more than he did.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01Not back then. He wanted me to resign.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03Well, I refused, of course.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06Well, I don't believe you. No?
0:17:06 > 0:17:09Then why did he apologise years later?
0:17:09 > 0:17:13His stupid ego ruined our marriage, and he knew it.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16Is that true? Did he really say that?
0:17:16 > 0:17:17Yes.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20And he turned you against me.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23Well, he didn't mean to.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25But that's what has happened.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27When break-ups happen it's...
0:17:27 > 0:17:28SHE GASPS
0:17:28 > 0:17:30Argh! What's wrong?
0:17:30 > 0:17:33Ah! Indigestion! Oh!
0:17:33 > 0:17:36Get my bag, I need my bag! Get it, will you, Heston?
0:17:36 > 0:17:39Are you taking tablets for it? Yes, yes.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41Do you want some water? Yes, yes.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44I'll get you some water. Oh! Hurry, damn it!
0:17:44 > 0:17:46SHE MOANS
0:17:46 > 0:17:49No half measures this time, I insist.
0:17:59 > 0:18:04Now, why don't I take you home and stop this silly wrangle?
0:18:06 > 0:18:08Is that pity, Heston?
0:18:08 > 0:18:10I hope it's not pity.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12I don't want your pity, or hers.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14And hide that, I don't want her seeing it.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16She should be told. No!
0:18:16 > 0:18:21We'll lie if we have to. You're not to tell her.
0:18:21 > 0:18:22Got it?
0:18:24 > 0:18:28I'm sorry if she missed out on a few cuddles.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30Didn't we all?
0:18:30 > 0:18:31No-one's perfect.
0:18:32 > 0:18:36I'm not going to apologise for who I am.
0:18:36 > 0:18:40News like this can put the past in perspective. You said so yourself.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44She should know. Know what?
0:18:44 > 0:18:46What should I know?
0:18:46 > 0:18:49About the letter that your father wrote to her mother before he died.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51You should read it.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55PHONE RINGS
0:18:56 > 0:18:59Oh, William, yes, thank you for phoning back. Right.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04What would you bring to my business, Hermione?
0:19:04 > 0:19:07Well, I'd bring charm, knowledge, enthusiasm...
0:19:07 > 0:19:09SHE GASPS
0:19:09 > 0:19:11No! No! No!
0:19:16 > 0:19:18I-I spilled my...
0:19:18 > 0:19:20Sorry. Hi.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01William, I know it's difficult to decide
0:20:01 > 0:20:03without actually seeing the will, but...
0:20:03 > 0:20:05Can you hang on a second?
0:20:07 > 0:20:09What's really going on with her?
0:20:10 > 0:20:12It isn't indigestion, is it?
0:20:12 > 0:20:14It's really not for me to say.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19That's why she gave you the clock.
0:20:19 > 0:20:20It is serious, isn't it?
0:20:23 > 0:20:25She's dying.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31And she wasn't going to tell me.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34What could I bring to your shop?
0:20:34 > 0:20:37Well, a packed lunch and an umbrella, perhaps?
0:20:37 > 0:20:41No, seriously, I could bring my personality,
0:20:41 > 0:20:45erm, my electric style, perhaps, maybe.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48I could advise people on what to wear.
0:20:48 > 0:20:52Not in a horrible way, more Gok Wan than Trinny and Susannah.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54I could be, what's it called?
0:20:54 > 0:20:56Er... A personal shopper.
0:20:56 > 0:20:57I could do that for you.
0:20:57 > 0:21:01I mean, not for you personally, you've already got your own style,
0:21:01 > 0:21:03but I could offer that service, free of charge.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06Or if you wanted to charge, you know, you could.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09Er... Did I say I really like your hair?
0:21:09 > 0:21:10Er... Did I say I really like your hair?
0:21:12 > 0:21:14You kept it all these years.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16It wasn't always bad between us.
0:21:18 > 0:21:22I read Dad's letter. I didn't realise all that went on.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25I don't really remember.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27I know you don't.
0:21:27 > 0:21:30Why did it go so wrong? Was it because of me?
0:21:30 > 0:21:32No!
0:21:32 > 0:21:35We just didn't know how to fix it.
0:21:36 > 0:21:40I was never any good at the emotional stuff, I was only good at my job.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43That's why I clung to it, I realise that now.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45Now that you're dying.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50Say it like it is, why don't you?!
0:21:50 > 0:21:52Good news. There is a compromise.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54You told her! What?
0:21:54 > 0:21:57About the tumour, the cancer! She guessed.
0:21:57 > 0:22:01Why didn't you want me to know. Did you think I wouldn't care?
0:22:01 > 0:22:04I didn't want you to feel obliged to care.
0:22:04 > 0:22:08You don't have to like me just because I'm nearly dead.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11Look, I know, but I do care and I want to like you,
0:22:11 > 0:22:15and since when have I ever done anything that I didn't want to do?
0:22:15 > 0:22:16SHE CHUCKLES
0:22:16 > 0:22:20About the clock - Fiona can legally give it to me
0:22:20 > 0:22:24and I in turn can give it to Natalie if I so choose.
0:22:24 > 0:22:29Heston, it's OK. If Natalie wants the clock, it's hers.
0:22:29 > 0:22:33No, Dr Carter, please, have it.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36Why don't you go and get it? I'll go.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39It's on the landing in the dresser.
0:22:39 > 0:22:40Righty ho.
0:22:40 > 0:22:42And no scrapping while I'm gone.
0:22:49 > 0:22:53There's stuff back there that could grow legs and walk out.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56No word yet?
0:22:56 > 0:22:58No, not yet.
0:22:58 > 0:22:59I hope she's OK.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01You're really keen on this girl, aren't you?
0:23:03 > 0:23:06Yeah, I suppose I am. So you think it's the real deal?
0:23:06 > 0:23:08Maybe. What do you mean, maybe?!
0:23:08 > 0:23:09You must know!
0:23:09 > 0:23:12Yeah, we're good together. Not like you and Rob, but...
0:23:12 > 0:23:14Oh, what did you say that for?!
0:23:14 > 0:23:18Because, you and Rob always seemed so together.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20What's that mean?
0:23:20 > 0:23:23Well, you had your spats, but it was like you were meant to be,
0:23:23 > 0:23:25you know, solid, like soul mates.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27Rob's my soul mate? I don't know.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32Put it this way, if me and Hermione can find half of the love
0:23:32 > 0:23:34that you and Bob have...
0:23:34 > 0:23:35DID have...
0:23:37 > 0:23:39..then I know I'm on to a good thing.
0:23:43 > 0:23:47Please, stop fussing! Let me, I like to fuss.
0:23:47 > 0:23:48I know you do.
0:23:51 > 0:23:55How long have they told you you've got? Long enough.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58So no blubbing, I hate blubbing.
0:23:58 > 0:23:59I know you do.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01SHE CHUCKLES
0:24:01 > 0:24:02I don't want to upset you ladies,
0:24:02 > 0:24:04but I really must...
0:24:04 > 0:24:06CRASH
0:24:06 > 0:24:08CLATTER OF CLOCK PARTS
0:24:09 > 0:24:11BOTH: You idiot.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15Hey, how did it go?
0:24:15 > 0:24:17Didn't stick to the lines, went totally off-track
0:24:17 > 0:24:20and babbled on about anything I could think of.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22You didn't call her fat, did you?
0:24:22 > 0:24:25No, but I unfortunately had to be myself after all.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27Ah.
0:24:27 > 0:24:28And I still got the job!
0:24:28 > 0:24:30She thinks I'm kooky.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32She loved my idea of a personal shopper service.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34Apparently, I'm just the sort of person she's looking for.
0:24:34 > 0:24:38See? I told you being you wasn't such a bad thing. You're a genius!
0:24:39 > 0:24:42I knew you could be clumsy, Heston, but really!
0:24:42 > 0:24:46I am so sorry. I promise, it'll be as good as new.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49It had better be. Otherwise I'll be charging you for it.
0:24:49 > 0:24:53And it's worth a bit. It's a valued family heirloom, you know.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57DISCORDANT CLOCK CHIMES
0:25:08 > 0:25:10You drive. I'm too angry.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13Didn't you meet your friend...? Friend?!
0:25:13 > 0:25:15Seems she hates me. It seems they all do.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17Didn't she recommend...? Apparently I'm a bad mother
0:25:17 > 0:25:20because I have already ruined my son's education.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22The cheek of her! I will show them!
0:25:22 > 0:25:23I will show them effort
0:25:23 > 0:25:25and I will get Joe into the best school there is.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27I'm just really pleased that you managed
0:25:27 > 0:25:29to wrap her round your little finger. Darling.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33Just drive, will you?
0:25:39 > 0:25:41He walked out on Destiny when she was just a baby.
0:25:41 > 0:25:42He's her father.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44No. No!
0:25:44 > 0:25:45I am.
0:25:45 > 0:25:47These won't cure toothache.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49Dentists are money-grubbing crooks.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52I suppose clever Dick's got all the answers, eh?
0:25:52 > 0:25:55He knows how it feels to give up a child.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58Lorraine told me that the school is oversubscribed.
0:25:58 > 0:25:59What does that mean, anyway?
0:25:59 > 0:26:02It means that they can pick and choose.
