0:00:38 > 0:00:39Morning!

0:00:39 > 0:00:41Oh, funny - we were just talking about you.

0:00:41 > 0:00:45Oh, that's nice. Is there any post for me?

0:00:45 > 0:00:48No, but there wouldn't be, because you don't live here any more.

0:00:48 > 0:00:51I know, but not everyone knows my new address.

0:00:51 > 0:00:53Nothing? Not even junk mail?

0:00:53 > 0:00:55- Ah, Mrs Merriam!- Hello, dear!

0:00:55 > 0:00:57I was just about to have a cup of tea, do you want one?

0:00:57 > 0:01:01Oh, I shouldn't really, but...go on.

0:01:01 > 0:01:04- Come through. - It's all right. I know the way!

0:01:04 > 0:01:06What do you think you're doing?

0:01:06 > 0:01:10- What was I meant to do? Slam the door in her face? - Sounds like a plan.- Colin!

0:01:10 > 0:01:11I'm fed up with her coming round.

0:01:11 > 0:01:15When we bought this place, they didn't tell us we had a sitting tenant.

0:01:18 > 0:01:21Rob.

0:01:21 > 0:01:23Yes, love?

0:01:23 > 0:01:24Am I awake or asleep?

0:01:26 > 0:01:28I'm pretty sure you're awake.

0:01:28 > 0:01:31Oh, great!

0:01:31 > 0:01:37- It's not that bad.- It is! It's all pursed lips and rigatoni.

0:01:37 > 0:01:41- Rigoletto.- Rigor mortis. I've still got a headache.

0:01:42 > 0:01:46Yeah, well, the pest control people say that we can't go home till tomorrow.

0:01:46 > 0:01:50Oh! I'd rather live with fleas.

0:01:53 > 0:01:57I'm surprised to see you're redecorating.

0:01:57 > 0:01:59I would have thought you'd wait a while.

0:01:59 > 0:02:02Oh, no, we...we really couldn't wait any longer.

0:02:02 > 0:02:05- So what are you having done? - Well, we're going to get rid of the carpets,

0:02:05 > 0:02:10just have bare boards, and then all the walls are going to be magnolia.

0:02:10 > 0:02:12Oh! I suppose it's your house.

0:02:12 > 0:02:16And at least it'll look the same when I walk past.

0:02:16 > 0:02:18We are going to change the garden.

0:02:18 > 0:02:20- We're getting rid of that big tree out the back.- No!

0:02:20 > 0:02:24It's been there for a hundred years and it hasn't done any damage!

0:02:24 > 0:02:29Look. Let me put this in words of one syllable -

0:02:29 > 0:02:32- this is not your house!- Colin!

0:02:32 > 0:02:36I...I...I know, but it's a very special tree.

0:02:36 > 0:02:40Yes, but it's old, diseased, and outlived its usefulness.

0:02:43 > 0:02:47Mrs Tembe! I see you eat yours round side up.

0:02:47 > 0:02:53- I did not know that was unusual. - Well, in Gulliver's Travels, there was a war between the Lilliputians

0:02:53 > 0:02:57and their neighbours over the correct way to eat a boiled egg.

0:02:57 > 0:02:59Well, let us hope it does not come to that!

0:03:01 > 0:03:02Everything all right?

0:03:02 > 0:03:06Yeah. Just hope I'm eating my cornflakes properly.

0:03:06 > 0:03:09I wouldn't want to put 'em down the wrong orifice.

0:03:09 > 0:03:12Mrs Hollins, do you not want to sit down?

0:03:12 > 0:03:15No, I prefer to eat standing up, thanks.

0:03:15 > 0:03:17It is very distracting having you

0:03:17 > 0:03:20wandering around in my peripheral vision.

0:03:20 > 0:03:24Right then, love. I'm just off for a meeting with the hate crime unit.

0:03:24 > 0:03:26Can I give you a lift?

0:03:26 > 0:03:29Yes, please. I could probably give 'em some tips.

0:03:43 > 0:03:45Oh! Morning, Dr Khella.

0:03:45 > 0:03:50- Dr Haskey!- We must stop meeting like this, people will talk.

0:03:50 > 0:03:52Are you still playing that cliche game?

0:03:54 > 0:03:57Oh! Let, me er...

0:04:00 > 0:04:02- Hang on!- Are you wearing aftershave?

0:04:02 > 0:04:06Er, guilty as charged. It was the girlfriend's idea.

0:04:06 > 0:04:08I don't believe it. You'll be moisturising next.

0:04:08 > 0:04:10That will NEVER happen.

0:04:10 > 0:04:11Morning, Mrs Tembe.

0:04:11 > 0:04:12M'hm.

0:04:12 > 0:04:16- Tembenator. - Mrs Tembe, please, Dr Haskey!

0:04:18 > 0:04:21Oh, I'm sorry, Mrs Merriam, we are not open yet.

0:04:21 > 0:04:25I just wondered - can I make an appointment with Dr Tyler?

0:04:25 > 0:04:27Oh. I'm afraid he is not in today.

0:04:27 > 0:04:32- Oh.- Well, I'm taking the morning clinic so, well,

0:04:32 > 0:04:33since you're the first one here...

0:04:33 > 0:04:35Oh, that is kind.

0:04:36 > 0:04:40So...how can I help you?

0:04:40 > 0:04:42Well, I don't know really.

0:04:42 > 0:04:45I come here once a month to see Dr Tyler,

0:04:45 > 0:04:47and we have a cup of tea,

0:04:47 > 0:04:51and he checks to see that my heart's still beating.

0:04:51 > 0:04:54Oh, well, I'd better take your pulse, then.

0:04:54 > 0:05:00He's such a sweet man, Dr Tyler. Skin and bones, though.

0:05:01 > 0:05:04I suppose he's too busy to eat properly.

0:05:06 > 0:05:08It is beating a little fast,

0:05:08 > 0:05:11but that's probably because you've been rushing around a bit.

0:05:11 > 0:05:13Oh.

0:05:13 > 0:05:15Is everything else all right?

0:05:15 > 0:05:19No. No, it's not all right.

0:05:19 > 0:05:20What's the matter?

0:05:20 > 0:05:23That...awful man who bought my house.

0:05:27 > 0:05:30Oh, I'm bushed. I am completely cream-crackered.

0:05:30 > 0:05:31Oh! Yeah.

0:05:33 > 0:05:36Is there any chance of a cup of tea, love?

0:05:36 > 0:05:38In a minute.

0:05:38 > 0:05:40Ooh!

0:05:40 > 0:05:43You know, I've just seen an ad for the most amazing television.

0:05:43 > 0:05:49It's 55-inch, surround sound and it comes on when you click your fingers. Eh?

0:05:49 > 0:05:51Well, where would we put it?

0:05:51 > 0:05:54Don't know. We could put it in the back bedroom.

0:05:54 > 0:05:55Turn that into a cinema.

0:05:56 > 0:06:01Well we might need that room for any...sudden arrivals.

0:06:01 > 0:06:02No.

0:06:02 > 0:06:06We've got a futon in the attic if anyone drops in and besides,

0:06:06 > 0:06:10you don't want to make people too comfortable, they might never leave.

0:06:10 > 0:06:17Yeah, home cinema! Reclining seats, blackout curtain. Ooh!

0:06:17 > 0:06:18OK!

0:06:19 > 0:06:22Hey! That my sandwich?

0:06:24 > 0:06:28Honestly, there were times last night when I wanted to fake my own death.

0:06:28 > 0:06:31I mean, who do they think they are? It's not even Heston's house,

0:06:31 > 0:06:34and he's lording it about with Mrs Tembe,

0:06:34 > 0:06:38with their big smug faces - me and Rob are like oiks from the slums.

0:06:39 > 0:06:43Perhaps you would like to say that to my big smug face?

0:06:47 > 0:06:49These people bought your house?

0:06:49 > 0:06:50That's right, yes.

0:06:50 > 0:06:53But you still go back there once a week?

0:06:53 > 0:06:56Well, I like to look in on my old neighbours,

0:06:56 > 0:07:00and check if there's post for me and see if the new people need anything.

0:07:00 > 0:07:03But these new people, they...

0:07:03 > 0:07:06they need to feel that the house is theirs,

0:07:06 > 0:07:09even if you don't like the changes that they're making.

0:07:09 > 0:07:15But...I have had such wonderful memories in that house.

0:07:15 > 0:07:19Although at the end it was only me and Edward rattling about in it.

0:07:19 > 0:07:22I thought you said your husband's name was Charles.

0:07:22 > 0:07:25Oh, it was. Edward was my cat.

0:07:27 > 0:07:29A big ball of fur and mischief.

0:07:31 > 0:07:36It's coming up to the first anniversary of his death,

0:07:36 > 0:07:39and I miss him more than words can say.

0:07:39 > 0:07:43I know, believe me I do.

0:07:44 > 0:07:49But with any bereavement, we have to try and find something positive.

0:07:49 > 0:07:52Instead of grieving, why don't you do something wonderful for Edward?

0:07:56 > 0:08:00I do not know which was worse - your moronic soap opera or

0:08:00 > 0:08:02Sergeant Hollins' interminable football match.

0:08:02 > 0:08:05Some people call that entertainment.

0:08:05 > 0:08:07Some people need a medical professional.

0:08:07 > 0:08:11Aw, come on. It's your last night together.

0:08:11 > 0:08:12With any luck.

0:08:12 > 0:08:15- God willing.- Why not make it fun?

0:08:15 > 0:08:19Because Mrs Hollins' idea of fun is certainly different to mine.

0:08:19 > 0:08:24No. You both...love... you both love cooking.

0:08:24 > 0:08:27Why don't you have a cookery competition?

0:08:27 > 0:08:28What?

0:08:28 > 0:08:30It's not a bad idea, I suppose.

0:08:30 > 0:08:33I do it with my mates. We all chip in a tenner.

0:08:33 > 0:08:37Everyone makes a dish, give each other marks out of ten.

0:08:37 > 0:08:39Whoever wins, wins the 40 quid jackpot.

0:08:39 > 0:08:40Yes, well.

0:08:40 > 0:08:43I could see why Mrs Hollins would want to enter such a competition.

0:08:43 > 0:08:47After all I did win her in the SupaChef competition only last year.

0:08:47 > 0:08:49Remind me - was that the SupaChef where you got

0:08:49 > 0:08:51slaughtered by my husband?

0:08:51 > 0:08:53Oh, don't start kicking off again.

0:08:53 > 0:08:55I am not afraid of a challenge.

0:08:55 > 0:09:02Although if you are cooking, the only challenge will be how are we going to eat it!

0:09:02 > 0:09:03I hope you're hungry.

0:09:03 > 0:09:07Because tonight, you're going to eat your words, lady.

0:09:10 > 0:09:11DOORBELL RINGS

0:09:13 > 0:09:16Hello. It's only me.

0:09:16 > 0:09:18Yes, I can see that.

0:09:18 > 0:09:21That tree that you're going to cut down?

0:09:21 > 0:09:23- Yes?- I was wondering.

0:09:23 > 0:09:26Would it be all right if I took a photo of it?

0:09:26 > 0:09:27Just for old times' sake?

0:09:27 > 0:09:31I'm sorry, we were just... about to pop out, actually.

0:09:31 > 0:09:35- And I think it's going to rain. - Oh, that's all right. I could take it from upstairs.

0:09:35 > 0:09:37Ah, Mrs Merriam, nice to see you!

0:09:39 > 0:09:44Look, it's not convenient for you to keep coming round like this!

0:09:44 > 0:09:47- Any chance of a cup of tea?- No!

0:09:47 > 0:09:50Look, this is not a cafe! This is our house.

0:09:50 > 0:09:52- Colin!- Two sugars, please.

0:09:57 > 0:10:00This woman...this woman is haunting us!

0:10:00 > 0:10:02I think it's nice the place still means so much to her.

0:10:02 > 0:10:04Then why did she sell it?

0:10:04 > 0:10:06Mrs Merriam?

0:10:06 > 0:10:08Yes.

0:10:08 > 0:10:09Mrs Merriam, what are you doing?

0:10:09 > 0:10:13What does it look like? I'm staging an occupation.

0:10:16 > 0:10:18Please. Dr K!

0:10:18 > 0:10:20You eating salad?

0:10:20 > 0:10:21Just a bit of greenery.

0:10:21 > 0:10:25Is that your girlfriend's doing as well?

0:10:25 > 0:10:28- Maybe.- You've got it bad.

0:10:28 > 0:10:31I'm surprised she's not leaving you little love notes in your lunchbox.

0:10:31 > 0:10:34If we ever get to that stage, you can shoot me.

0:10:35 > 0:10:37What's she like?

0:10:37 > 0:10:42Jackie? Dentist. Six foot two, eyes of blue.

0:10:42 > 0:10:45Actually they're green, but that doesn't rhyme.

0:10:45 > 0:10:46Are you going out tonight?

0:10:46 > 0:10:50Yeah, we're going to go bowling. Not the classiest of dates, but...

0:10:50 > 0:10:54Well, you're not really a classy date kind of guy.

0:10:54 > 0:10:56What do you mean?

0:10:56 > 0:11:01Well, you're more sort of real ale, darts and pizza.

0:11:01 > 0:11:04A date with me can be full of surprises.

0:11:04 > 0:11:07Well, I'm never going to find out now - Jackie's a lucky girl.

0:11:11 > 0:11:15Oh, this is very funny. Very funny indeed.

0:11:17 > 0:11:19Come on, how do you open this thing?

0:11:19 > 0:11:22- Ow!- You're hurting her!

0:11:22 > 0:11:26Look, I'm not the one who chained her to a radiator! What do you possibly hope to achieve by this?

0:11:26 > 0:11:31I shall stay here until you sign this paper.

0:11:33 > 0:11:34"Contract of agreement.

0:11:34 > 0:11:37"I, Colin Rinsler, owner of blah-blah-blah,

0:11:37 > 0:11:42"do solemnly swear, not to chop down the tree at Number 16..."

0:11:46 > 0:11:50Look all right, I'll save it for you.

0:11:50 > 0:11:51Really?

0:11:51 > 0:11:55When I've chopped down the tree, I'll save you ALL the firewood.

0:11:55 > 0:11:59Fine. I think... I see...

0:11:59 > 0:12:02I shall have to stay here for some time.

0:12:02 > 0:12:03Look! Just give me the key.

0:12:03 > 0:12:04SHE LAUGHS

0:12:11 > 0:12:12Oh, dear.

0:12:15 > 0:12:18Oh, Dr Carter, I have never seen one as big as that before.

0:12:18 > 0:12:21Well, for me, nothing says summer so much as a beach,

0:12:21 > 0:12:23trousers rolled up, looking for crabs.

0:12:23 > 0:12:29Well, I am making a new dessert, inspired by Mount Kilimanjaro.

0:12:29 > 0:12:33A meringue base with marrons glaces,

0:12:33 > 0:12:37and I'm also going to use icing sugar to represent the snow.

0:12:37 > 0:12:40I look forward to getting my grappling hooks into it.

0:12:40 > 0:12:43And what are you doing, Karen?

0:12:43 > 0:12:45Chocolate roulade.

0:12:45 > 0:12:46Ah.

0:12:47 > 0:12:51Yes, yes... Well, er...sometimes these old-fashioned comfort foods

0:12:51 > 0:12:54can be surprisingly palatable.

0:12:54 > 0:12:55Evening, all.

0:12:55 > 0:12:57Ah, you've been marinading your meat.

0:12:57 > 0:13:00Yeah, kebabs. I just need to get some fire under them.

0:13:00 > 0:13:02There's a barbecue outside.

0:13:02 > 0:13:03Have you seen the sky out there?

0:13:03 > 0:13:06- Well, there's an umbrella in the hall.- You're kidding me?

0:13:06 > 0:13:11No, no, no. I am sure there is no need for Sergeant Hollins to go outside.

0:13:11 > 0:13:16If Mrs Hollins would move her measuring jug and her mixing bowl

0:13:16 > 0:13:21and all of the utensils she has scattered all over the work surface.

0:13:21 > 0:13:24Rob. Outside is good. Too many cooks.

0:13:24 > 0:13:27Right. OK. Er...thanks.

0:13:27 > 0:13:28Good idea.

0:13:30 > 0:13:33Let's see if I can break the legs on this little chappie.

0:13:33 > 0:13:34PHONE RINGS

0:13:38 > 0:13:40Hello, Jack. How are you doing?

0:13:41 > 0:13:45No, not another one! What colour is it this time?

0:13:48 > 0:13:50Well, thank you very much for your time, anyway.

0:13:53 > 0:13:56Thank you.

0:13:56 > 0:13:59- Terrific.- What is it? - Because she's of advanced years, blah-de-blah-de-blah,

0:13:59 > 0:14:03they'll only use force as a last resort. We're going to have to use her as a hat stand.

0:14:03 > 0:14:04DOORBELL RINGS

0:14:04 > 0:14:05HE GROANS

0:14:09 > 0:14:11- Yes?- Mr and Mrs Rinsler?

0:14:11 > 0:14:15- That's right.- I'm Dr Emma Reid. I'm also a police surgeon.

0:14:15 > 0:14:18I've been told you've got a vulnerable older woman chained to a radiator?

0:14:18 > 0:14:23She's about as vulnerable as a tonne of bricks. If this house fell down, she'd be the last one standing.

0:14:23 > 0:14:26Ah, Dr Reid! How nice to see you.

0:14:26 > 0:14:29Mrs Merriam. What a small world.

0:14:29 > 0:14:32Yes, isn't it?

0:14:32 > 0:14:37Look. That's the tree that I'm trying to save.

0:14:37 > 0:14:41Well, shouldn't you be chained to the tree?

0:14:41 > 0:14:44Huh! I'm not going to catch pneumonia.

0:14:44 > 0:14:47It is rather spectacular.

0:14:47 > 0:14:50And you know - it was your words that inspired me to do this.

0:14:50 > 0:14:55- Really?- Do something wonderful for Edward.

0:14:55 > 0:14:57Well, I didn't quite imagine this.

0:14:57 > 0:15:00When my husband was alive, I would never have dared to do this.

0:15:00 > 0:15:04"Don't make a scene, Jean." But now...

0:15:04 > 0:15:10Now that I'm...on my own...I'm determined to grow old disgracefully.

0:15:13 > 0:15:16# There is beauty in the bellow of the blast

0:15:16 > 0:15:20# There is grandeur in the growling of the gale

0:15:20 > 0:15:21# There is... #

0:15:21 > 0:15:24Oh, it is so good to sing when you are cooking, uh?

0:15:24 > 0:15:26Singing? Right. Where was I?

0:15:31 > 0:15:32Flaming Aida!

0:15:32 > 0:15:34Is there a problem, Mrs Hollins?

0:15:34 > 0:15:38It's fine! I'm well on my way to my first Michelin star here.

0:15:38 > 0:15:42Does anyone know if Julia's got a fire extinguisher?

0:15:42 > 0:15:45So is she coming down, or is it time to get the chainsaw?

0:15:45 > 0:15:49Mrs Merriam is...well, determined to stay there all day,

0:15:49 > 0:15:51- and all night if necessary.- Fine.

0:15:51 > 0:15:54Well, at least we'll never need to buy a burglar alarm.

0:15:54 > 0:15:57- But there might be one simple solution.- What?

0:15:57 > 0:15:59You could decide to save the tree.

0:15:59 > 0:16:03Why should I?! This is my house! If I want to take a sledgehammer to it,

0:16:03 > 0:16:07there's nothing she can do except stand there and watch me.

0:16:07 > 0:16:12Oh! I managed to put the fire out. Can I not just warm these kebabs under the grill?

0:16:12 > 0:16:16Yes, of course. We've finished our duties. We're off to listen to The Archers with a glass of prosecco.

0:16:16 > 0:16:18You are more than welcome to join us.

0:16:24 > 0:16:25We're doomed.

0:16:28 > 0:16:30Mrs Merriam.

0:16:30 > 0:16:34I realise I've been a little un-neighbourly and er...

0:16:34 > 0:16:37I may have lost my cool somewhat.

0:16:37 > 0:16:41I was just thinking if maybe we could have a cup of tea,

0:16:41 > 0:16:44some cake, maybe we can resolve our differences.

0:16:45 > 0:16:48Young man. You can't buy me with Victoria sponge.

0:16:48 > 0:16:51He IS trying to meet you halfway.

0:16:51 > 0:16:57Please. You've been here all day. You must be starving.

0:16:57 > 0:17:00OK, I'll have a small piece.

0:17:00 > 0:17:03What I'll do is I'll just...

0:17:03 > 0:17:06place that there.

0:17:06 > 0:17:08And then when you break free, you can have some.

0:17:13 > 0:17:16Well, Dr Carter, that was excellent.

0:17:16 > 0:17:18You truly have a way with crabs.

0:17:18 > 0:17:20Do you think so? Not a little bland?

0:17:20 > 0:17:21At least you didn't burn 'em.

0:17:21 > 0:17:25Now, is it not time for your dessert, Mrs Hollins?

0:17:29 > 0:17:31Right, I'll erm...

0:17:41 > 0:17:42Now that was mean.

0:17:42 > 0:17:43Do you think I care?

0:17:43 > 0:17:47If she wants to be a martyr, she can stay there all day.

0:17:47 > 0:17:51Most people have a skeleton in the closet. I'll have one chained to the radiator.

0:17:52 > 0:17:53Colin?

0:18:01 > 0:18:02There you go.

0:18:08 > 0:18:10Erm... Well...well...

0:18:10 > 0:18:15Does it have a name, or does it prefer to remain anonymous?

0:18:15 > 0:18:19Well, it was meant to be chocolate roulade. But Jack phoned.

0:18:19 > 0:18:24He's had a...had another tattoo, and...and it's gone septic.

0:18:24 > 0:18:28So then I tried to roll the roulade, but it crumbled,

0:18:28 > 0:18:31so I thought, you know - never mind, I'll make a chocolate trifle.

0:18:34 > 0:18:38And then Immie rang. And she was meant to be coming home this weekend

0:18:38 > 0:18:41but she'd rather go to Italy instead.

0:18:41 > 0:18:43And then I couldn't even make a chocolate trifle,

0:18:43 > 0:18:47so I thought I'd bung it in a bowl and call it chocolate mess.

0:18:54 > 0:18:56I don't believe you!

0:18:56 > 0:18:58We moved here for a new life, to get away from stress.

0:18:58 > 0:19:01But you create stress wherever you go.

0:19:01 > 0:19:03I'm so sorry.

0:19:05 > 0:19:08Sammy! Sammy!

0:19:08 > 0:19:10I hope I haven't caused too much trouble.

0:19:10 > 0:19:13I think it's a bit late to be worrying about that now.

0:19:13 > 0:19:14I must have a word.

0:19:14 > 0:19:16Well, you can't find the key.

0:19:16 > 0:19:20Ah! That was a conjuring trick. A bit of magic.

0:19:20 > 0:19:21Come on, let me help.

0:19:25 > 0:19:28Am I a member of the royal family?

0:19:28 > 0:19:31No!

0:19:31 > 0:19:33Am I one of our Olympic heroes?

0:19:33 > 0:19:35No!

0:19:40 > 0:19:44Am I someone who has devoted their life to doing good for others?

0:19:44 > 0:19:48- No!- Look, I'm going to give you a clue.

0:19:48 > 0:19:50Oh!

0:19:50 > 0:19:54- Charlie Chaplin? - No, you daft bat! You're Hitler!

0:19:54 > 0:19:55What?

0:19:57 > 0:20:01All the people in the world and you choose to make me a mass murderer?

0:20:01 > 0:20:05I dunno, I think you've got a lot in common.

0:20:05 > 0:20:09You both love the British Empire, you're both non-smokers.

0:20:09 > 0:20:12Though I don't think even Hitler married a homosexual!

0:20:22 > 0:20:23Er...excuse me, please.

0:20:26 > 0:20:28- Coffee, everyone?- Yeah.

0:20:31 > 0:20:33Baby, please. I just don't like people walking all over us.

0:20:33 > 0:20:38She's 82 years old with arthritis. She can hardly walk anyway!

0:20:38 > 0:20:39I'm sorry.

0:20:39 > 0:20:42Oh! Managed to do a Houdini, did we?

0:20:42 > 0:20:47I'm sorry. I didn't mean to start an argument between you.

0:20:47 > 0:20:50- I really am very fond of you. - Feeling's not mutual.

0:20:50 > 0:20:51Will you give it a rest?!

0:20:51 > 0:20:55Please, don't fight. I just wanted to save the tree.

0:20:57 > 0:21:0260 years ago, I moved to this house with my husband,

0:21:02 > 0:21:06and HE wanted to chop the tree down.

0:21:06 > 0:21:12But I said, "No, one day, we'll hang a swing on it for our children, and...

0:21:12 > 0:21:15"and then when we're old and grey, we'll sit beneath it in its shade."

0:21:17 > 0:21:20But we never had children.

0:21:20 > 0:21:24But we did have very happy memories here,

0:21:24 > 0:21:27and I want you to have the same.

0:21:30 > 0:21:33Er, Dr Carter, how many do you usually use?

0:21:33 > 0:21:37Oh, that's enough. We don't want Karen bouncing off the ceiling.

0:21:37 > 0:21:40It is not her fault. She is missing her home,

0:21:40 > 0:21:43and it must be very hard being so far away from your children.

0:21:43 > 0:21:47- Yes, but she shouldn't have said that.- Her words do not hurt me.

0:21:47 > 0:21:51What hurts is how badly things ended between myself and Gordon.

0:21:51 > 0:21:53It was all my fault.

0:21:53 > 0:21:55Well, there are always two sides to these things.

0:21:55 > 0:22:01No, I could have handled it better. But life, well, it...

0:22:01 > 0:22:03it is not easy.

0:22:03 > 0:22:07So we must all try harder tomorrow.

0:22:12 > 0:22:14Are you all right, dear?

0:22:17 > 0:22:20Everything she was talking about - having a family,

0:22:20 > 0:22:26growing old together - it's what I want. But sometimes, I don't know if it's what YOU want.

0:22:26 > 0:22:29Of course it's what I want. Look...

0:22:29 > 0:22:31if I was a little firm with her,

0:22:31 > 0:22:34that's because this place is precious and...

0:22:34 > 0:22:38Well, I didn't want someone coming in here and telling us what to do.

0:22:38 > 0:22:40Like you do to me?

0:22:40 > 0:22:45We had our disappointments too,

0:22:45 > 0:22:47but we did have 60 years together.

0:22:49 > 0:22:52Well, I'm very competitive.

0:22:52 > 0:22:55And if that's what we've got to beat, then...

0:23:00 > 0:23:04And if it makes you happy and it's what you want... I'll spare that tree.

0:23:12 > 0:23:15You really know how to ruin an evening.

0:23:15 > 0:23:16What is it with you?

0:23:17 > 0:23:21If everyone's having fun, you have to wade in there and spoil it.

0:23:21 > 0:23:22Which bit of it was fun?

0:23:23 > 0:23:26The bit...the bit where Heston made you go in the garden,

0:23:26 > 0:23:28or the bit where you set fire to the hedge,

0:23:28 > 0:23:31or the bit where I made a chocolate roulade that looked like sick?

0:23:31 > 0:23:34It's not about that. It's about making the best of things.

0:23:34 > 0:23:36Make do and mend, as Auntie Ag would say.

0:23:36 > 0:23:38- Old bag.- Karen!

0:23:38 > 0:23:41I got different things on my mind.

0:23:42 > 0:23:48Yeah. So Immie's not going to come home all summer?

0:23:48 > 0:23:51She's got a project to finish. And she wants to see Italy.

0:23:51 > 0:23:53Oh, really. Yeah.

0:23:53 > 0:23:55Well, I bet the bit she wants to see is six foot two,

0:23:55 > 0:23:57with greased black hair, riding a Vespa.

0:23:57 > 0:23:59It's not fair. I feel like I'm losing her.

0:24:01 > 0:24:03It was always going to be this way.

0:24:03 > 0:24:06We'll go down there and see her. We'll do some sightseeing.

0:24:06 > 0:24:08I suppose.

0:24:08 > 0:24:12- And Jack's going to come down in July.- Yeah.

0:24:12 > 0:24:13We should be making the best of things

0:24:13 > 0:24:19because before you know it, we'll be looking after grandkids.

0:24:19 > 0:24:23We have coffee, and we have biscotti d'Amaretti.

0:24:23 > 0:24:24Easy for you to say.

0:24:30 > 0:24:32Mrs Tembe, I'm...

0:24:32 > 0:24:36I'm ever so sorry I opened my big fat gob.

0:24:36 > 0:24:39Did you? I was not listening.

0:24:39 > 0:24:41Always the best policy.

0:24:41 > 0:24:42Oi!

0:24:44 > 0:24:47You know, all things considered,

0:24:47 > 0:24:50it's not been such a bad night, has it?

0:24:52 > 0:24:54We should do it again sometime.

0:24:57 > 0:24:59- Why not?- Yeah.

0:25:00 > 0:25:01Absolutely.

0:25:04 > 0:25:06So, er... Sergeant Hollis?

0:25:06 > 0:25:08Oh, thank you.

0:25:11 > 0:25:15So what are you going to do with yourself now?

0:25:15 > 0:25:19Well, now that I've learned to make a nuisance of myself,

0:25:19 > 0:25:24I shall be chaining myself to railings every day.

0:25:24 > 0:25:25Well, good luck!

0:25:26 > 0:25:31But I won't go back there again. They've got their life.

0:25:32 > 0:25:33I have to find mine.

0:25:35 > 0:25:41You...lost your husband too, didn't you?

0:25:41 > 0:25:43Yes.

0:25:43 > 0:25:45I thought so. I read about it.

0:25:47 > 0:25:51You never lose the pain, really,

0:25:53 > 0:25:55but you learn to enjoy things again.

0:25:57 > 0:26:02- Right.- I suppose we both have to find a role for ourselves, don't we?

0:26:02 > 0:26:05Yes. Come on, let me drive you home.

0:26:07 > 0:26:08Thanks for looking after me.

0:26:20 > 0:26:21PHONE RINGS

0:26:26 > 0:26:29Hello?

0:26:29 > 0:26:31Hi, Sophie, how are you?

0:26:32 > 0:26:34What kind of favour?

0:26:36 > 0:26:38Dogs - why?

0:26:41 > 0:26:43# I want you

0:26:43 > 0:26:48# You had your fun You don't get well no more

0:26:50 > 0:26:59# I want you, your fingernails go dragging down the wall

0:26:59 > 0:27:04# Be careful, darling You might fall... #

0:27:08 > 0:27:10I just bumped into a patient in a park.

0:27:10 > 0:27:13- Oscar, stop! Oscar!- No, no, no!

0:27:13 > 0:27:17Recently diagnosed with schizophrenia but refused treatment.

0:27:17 > 0:27:19Go away! Go away!

0:27:19 > 0:27:21I think we need to get him to hospital.

0:27:21 > 0:27:24Well, go on, take him, then. Take him to your specialist.

0:27:24 > 0:27:26I'm just his mother! Why would he need me?
