0:00:25 > 0:00:27GIGGLING
0:00:31 > 0:00:35- Wow! I'm so excited. - What do you want to do to me?
0:00:35 > 0:00:37What, you mean, like, kiss you?
0:00:37 > 0:00:40Whatever. Do whatever you want.
0:00:40 > 0:00:42It's your birthday.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47My mum will be home from work in a minute.
0:00:49 > 0:00:53- What's wrong with you?- Nothing. - So why aren't you gagging for it?
0:00:53 > 0:00:56I am. Honest.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03Please don't be mad at me!
0:01:14 > 0:01:18Ooh! Hey, hang on a minute!
0:01:18 > 0:01:20Connor?
0:01:22 > 0:01:24What's up with Leann?
0:01:26 > 0:01:30Oh. I thought you said you were just mates.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36Connor, don't be such a baby, answer me.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42Oh, love!
0:01:43 > 0:01:45SHE SIGHS
0:01:45 > 0:01:48It's complicated, isn't it? Being a grown-up?
0:01:48 > 0:01:50Get lost, Mum!
0:01:52 > 0:01:55- What happened to make you both so upset?- Nothing.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01You've got to be honest with yourself and with other people.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04- In fact, you know, you should be proud.- Proud?!
0:02:04 > 0:02:10- Just come out with it. I promise you'll feel so much better. - HE SIGHS
0:02:10 > 0:02:12- Where you going?- Bathroom.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17Ah, Dr Reid. You look very nice.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19And you smell nice.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21Well, one has to try. PHONES RING
0:02:21 > 0:02:23Oh!
0:02:23 > 0:02:26BOTH: Hello. I'll go to my office.
0:02:29 > 0:02:30SHE CHUCKLES
0:02:35 > 0:02:37SHE LAUGHS
0:02:37 > 0:02:41Well...I'm not sure how I feel about dinner.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44- Is this you playing hard to get? - 'No, quite the reverse.'
0:02:44 > 0:02:47I just wonder whether dinner might be a distraction.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49'You've got a one-track mind, Dr Reid.'
0:02:49 > 0:02:51Guilty as charged.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54Dinner can be sensuous.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56Call it foreplay.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58Well, whatever floats your boat.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00I might tell you, if you like.
0:03:00 > 0:03:01SHE LAUGHS
0:03:02 > 0:03:04The Golden Ram?!
0:03:04 > 0:03:07Yeah, it's the Greek taverna on Barton Street.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09'Yeah, I know where it is.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12'I was thinking of something a little bit more upmarket. My treat.'
0:03:12 > 0:03:15Nah. No, a good night out's what we need.
0:03:15 > 0:03:19And I'm not really into all that gazing into each other's eyes.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22Well, I wasn't thinking of gazing into your eyes.
0:03:22 > 0:03:23SHE LAUGHS
0:03:23 > 0:03:25Gazing into what, then, you cheeky devil?!
0:03:25 > 0:03:28See? I can read your filthy mind, even down the phone!
0:03:28 > 0:03:32'All right, you win. What time shall I pick you up?'
0:03:32 > 0:03:33Don't be daft. I'll just see you there.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35'I'll get us a table for 7.30.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38- 'Oh, and Howard?'- Yes?
0:03:38 > 0:03:39SHE LAUGHS
0:03:39 > 0:03:42Leave your car at home, let's get wasted.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46MAN: 'So...what's on the menu?'
0:03:46 > 0:03:50We will be cooking a traditional Botswana dish.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52Chicken stew with pap.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55- Say that again?- 'Pap.'
0:03:55 > 0:04:00It is a kind of stiff porridge that you make into dumplings, Mr Robson.
0:04:00 > 0:04:04Could you hold the line one minute, please?
0:04:04 > 0:04:07Can I help you, Dr Carmichael?
0:04:07 > 0:04:08No. No, not at all.
0:04:08 > 0:04:13I wouldn't dream of intruding on your conversation with your...
0:04:13 > 0:04:15hot date.
0:04:15 > 0:04:19Mr Robson is not a date, he is a friend from church.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22I am teaching him some new recipes.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25That's your story...and you're sticking to it.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32SHE SIGHS You OK, Mrs Tembe?
0:04:32 > 0:04:36Yes. Yes, fine. I'm sorry, I have to go.
0:04:36 > 0:04:40Oh, OK, fair enough. I-II'll See you later, then?
0:04:44 > 0:04:47- OK, thanks. Bye. - KNOCK AT DOOR
0:04:47 > 0:04:49Come in.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51Shelley?!
0:04:51 > 0:04:54My favourite cousin. Oh, look at you,
0:04:54 > 0:04:56handsome, clever and important.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58It's a wonder you haven't been snapped up.
0:04:58 > 0:05:02- Let's just say I'm picky. - Not for turning, are you?
0:05:02 > 0:05:05- What?!- Well, you're always so well turned out,
0:05:05 > 0:05:08with your hair gel, sweet little waistcoat, jewellery.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10- You can't blame me for wondering. - I'm not gay.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13Anyway...I've brought you this.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17Connor's 16! No way!
0:05:17 > 0:05:19Where does the time go, eh?
0:05:19 > 0:05:23I know it's short notice, but it was the only way I could keep it a secret.
0:05:23 > 0:05:27- You will come, won't you? - OK. I'd love to. How is he?
0:05:27 > 0:05:30To be honest, I'm a bit worried.
0:05:30 > 0:05:34- What because you think he's gay? - Oh, blimey, psychic as well.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37- Educated guess.- I haven't got a problem with it at all.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39It's Connor, he just won't admit it.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42What, to the Spanish Inquisition?
0:05:42 > 0:05:45I haven't mentioned the word "gay" once. Cross my heart.
0:05:45 > 0:05:49No, if I did that, he'd...clam up even more.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51And he hardly opens his mouth as it is.
0:05:51 > 0:05:52That's called being a teenager!
0:05:52 > 0:05:56- Will you have a word with him? Man to man?- No way. Sorry, it's not my style.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58- But he looks up to you. - You seriously expect me
0:05:58 > 0:06:03to broach the subject of sexual orientation at a birthday party?!
0:06:03 > 0:06:07No, I thought you could take him for a bite to eat after work?
0:06:07 > 0:06:11And it would get him out from under my feet while I get my balloons up and stuff.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14Please, Kev. I am terrified he's going to mess up.
0:06:18 > 0:06:19KNOCK AT DOOR
0:06:19 > 0:06:21Meeting in the staff room, five minutes? Am I late?
0:06:21 > 0:06:24- Have you got a minute?- Yeah.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32Do you know Annie Harris?
0:06:32 > 0:06:35- Yeah. Everyone knows Annie.- Meaning?
0:06:37 > 0:06:41Meaning...everyone knows Annie. She's popular and she's friendly.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43A little bit loud?
0:06:43 > 0:06:46Yeah, some people might think that. Do you?
0:06:46 > 0:06:49Erm...no. It's just...
0:06:50 > 0:06:52I've got a date with her tonight.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55Oh. Congratulations.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58Except...she seems to want to call the shots.
0:06:58 > 0:07:03And I've had a girlfriend like that before, and call me old-fashioned...
0:07:03 > 0:07:05Howard, just go with it.
0:07:05 > 0:07:09You don't think...it's a bit awkward her being a police officer?
0:07:09 > 0:07:12No. No, I don't. Just relax.
0:07:14 > 0:07:15Yeah.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21- You're seeing lover-boy tonight. - Uh-huh. How can you tell?
0:07:21 > 0:07:24That smile on your face, you can only be thinking about one thing.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27Well, I am looking forward to it - in a way.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29- In a way?- I just didn't think
0:07:29 > 0:07:33that sex was going to be about spiritual growth.
0:07:33 > 0:07:34Who cares as long as it happens?
0:07:34 > 0:07:37But sometimes I feel like I'm being choreographed.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39Count yourself lucky!
0:07:39 > 0:07:43If anybody wanted to choreograph me, I'd be well up for it! BOTH LAUGH
0:07:44 > 0:07:47Al, do you fancy a spot of choreography later?
0:07:47 > 0:07:50I think the safe answer to that is no.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52Oh, party pooper.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55OK, Connor, I'll see you then.
0:07:55 > 0:07:59Great, I'm taking my 16-year-old cousin out for a birthday tea.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02You see, you'll always find someone with a sadder life than yours.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04- Hey, I was coerced. - I'm talking about the kid,
0:08:04 > 0:08:08tea with a 30-year-old. As birthdays go, that sucks!
0:08:08 > 0:08:10I can smell aftershave right down the corridor.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12- Yeah, Howard's got a date! - Way, to go Howard!
0:08:12 > 0:08:14ALL WHOOP
0:08:14 > 0:08:17All right, calm down. This is supposed to be a meeting.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23- What's up?- I was just thinking.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26- There's something I wanted to ask you.- OK, go ahead.
0:08:26 > 0:08:30Is there some kind of specialist nurse that deals with heart attacks?
0:08:30 > 0:08:32Like a cardiac specialist nurse?
0:08:32 > 0:08:36Yeah. That's what I want to be... cos of what happened to dad.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38Do you reckon I'd be any good?
0:08:38 > 0:08:41Yeah, I don't see why not.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44I'll organise a trip to St Phil's, you can find out exactly what it is they do.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46Cheers.
0:08:46 > 0:08:50- So...seeing anyone?- No.- Why?
0:08:50 > 0:08:52Well...she dumped me.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58- May I...- No, I can manage.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01You just unpack this.
0:09:01 > 0:09:02OK.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12Is everything all right, Mrs Tembe?
0:09:12 > 0:09:14Er...yes, perfectly.
0:09:14 > 0:09:19Only you seem a little...uptight.
0:09:19 > 0:09:23It is just people and their childish comments.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26Oh, let me guess. About you visiting a man in his home?
0:09:26 > 0:09:29I would prefer not to talk about it.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32Fair enough. So what's this?
0:09:32 > 0:09:34That is for the pap.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37We are not going to need that until the stew is nearly ready.
0:09:37 > 0:09:41First, we have to peel and chop all of the vegetables.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43I'm going to demonstrate to you
0:09:43 > 0:09:46the most efficient way of peeling onions.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50Why are you wearing those glasses?
0:09:50 > 0:09:56These are my onion-peeling glasses, they stop my eyes from watering.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58- HE LAUGHS - I'm sorry, they're...
0:09:59 > 0:10:04I know they are...not the most flattering fashion accessory.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06BOTH LAUGH
0:10:06 > 0:10:08Is she seeing somebody else?
0:10:08 > 0:10:11- Nah.- So...?
0:10:11 > 0:10:12She got fed up.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16It's tough being dumped on your birthday.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18Yeah. I don't blame her though, do I?
0:10:18 > 0:10:20She wanted to do it today.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23All the time she's going on about it, she just doesn't stop.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25It's not happening between us.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28Perhaps you don't really fancy her?
0:10:28 > 0:10:31- I love her.- That's not necessarily the same thing.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37Do you think...you like lads maybe?
0:10:37 > 0:10:39Lads?! Are you mental as well?
0:10:39 > 0:10:41Yeah, probably. Tomato sauce?
0:10:41 > 0:10:42No, ta.
0:10:44 > 0:10:48Look, waiting for a special day can put a lot of pressure on you.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51All that anticipation can lead to nothing.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53You mean, like looking forward to it?
0:10:53 > 0:10:55Yeah, pretty much.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57Your mates are probably banging on about it all the time.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59- Yeah, it's boring.- Boring?
0:10:59 > 0:11:01Like, do you think about it?
0:11:01 > 0:11:05Yeah, loads! Don't you?
0:11:05 > 0:11:09Not really. Look, I'm worried about Leann.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12- Do you mind if I go see her? - No, go on, off you go.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15If there's anything I can do to help, just phone, all right?
0:11:15 > 0:11:18- Right, thanks.- Good luck.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20Teenage angst?
0:11:20 > 0:11:22I don't know what to call it.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24Hypothetical case -
0:11:24 > 0:11:2716-year-old boy doesn't think about sex.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29What, never?
0:11:29 > 0:11:32Hmm. Do you remember a time when you weren't interested at that age?
0:11:32 > 0:11:36If I wasn't, I've erased the memory out of shame.
0:11:36 > 0:11:38Yeah, like minds.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41I'd say on the spectrum, that's comparatively rare.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43That's what I thought.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46- Help yourself?- Result!
0:11:51 > 0:11:53I'm not coming out.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55You just did.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57You're so not funny, Connor.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59Anyway, you're dumped.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02But...I love you.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05Well, shame, cos I don't love you.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08Well, actually, I do...but there's no point, is there?
0:12:08 > 0:12:10If you don't even fancy me.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13- If you're gay.- I'm not gay!
0:12:13 > 0:12:14I'm just stressed, yeah?
0:12:14 > 0:12:17Like, waiting for a special day puts pressure on you.
0:12:17 > 0:12:22- It was your idea to wait. - I know, I made a mistake.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24And anyway, you've done it before and I feel daft.
0:12:24 > 0:12:28- Why?- Cos...I might not be as good as him.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31So? You just need practice, that's all!
0:12:31 > 0:12:33Connor, you're dead special.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36Why do you think I waited so long?
0:12:36 > 0:12:38Listen, if we had sex today,
0:12:38 > 0:12:42wouldn't it be the best birthday present?
0:12:42 > 0:12:43You'd never forget it!
0:12:43 > 0:12:46- Does this mean you're giving me another chance?- Hmm.
0:12:46 > 0:12:50- SHE LAUGHS - Yeah. Except we can't do it here cos my dad's in.
0:12:50 > 0:12:54Come back to ours. I think my mum's gone back to work.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56I'll get my stuff!
0:12:59 > 0:13:03HE SIGHS Oh, no! She's doing a party!
0:13:03 > 0:13:04Ah, look!
0:13:04 > 0:13:08- That means there'll be loads of rellies!- You were so cute.
0:13:08 > 0:13:12- Is that your dad?- Yeah.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16At least he won't get decrepit like mine.
0:13:18 > 0:13:22We could have our own party, just the two of us.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25SHE LAUGHS
0:13:27 > 0:13:29Oh! Missed!
0:13:29 > 0:13:31I win!
0:13:31 > 0:13:33You know what, Connor,
0:13:33 > 0:13:36this party'll be great cos you'll be able to say,
0:13:36 > 0:13:38"This is my girlfriend Leann,"
0:13:38 > 0:13:41and mean it, cos it'll be real by then, yeah?
0:13:41 > 0:13:44- I love you.- And I love you.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47Right, come on.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51May I take your coat, madam?
0:13:51 > 0:13:52Why, thank you.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56SHE GIGGLES
0:13:56 > 0:13:58Sorry, I just couldn't resist.
0:13:58 > 0:14:02You know, actually, I...I wouldn't mind
0:14:02 > 0:14:04working up an appetite before dinner.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06I'm flattered, but the food will spoil.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09Can't you put it in the microwave?
0:14:09 > 0:14:11Sacrilege! This is a middle-eastern lamb dish.
0:14:11 > 0:14:15The saffron rice is gorgeous and fluffy and ready to serve.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18Oh, well, if it's a choice between saffron rice and sex...
0:14:18 > 0:14:20Emma!
0:14:20 > 0:14:23Trust me, we'll leave the best till last.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26Well, when you put it like that, I must be safe hands.
0:14:29 > 0:14:30HE SIGHS
0:14:30 > 0:14:32Was that all right?
0:14:35 > 0:14:38- That's a no, then? - You didn't even look at me.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41Well, did you want me to?
0:14:41 > 0:14:43You're supposed to want to, Connor!
0:14:45 > 0:14:48I thought you said it didn't matter if I wasn't very good at first.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51You couldn't wait to get it over with...could you?
0:14:58 > 0:15:00GREEK MUSIC AND CHATTER
0:15:06 > 0:15:08Hiya!
0:15:12 > 0:15:13Hi.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18- Oh, aftershave! - SHE GRUNTS
0:15:18 > 0:15:21I could eat you alive right now.
0:15:21 > 0:15:23Maybe I'd better stick to me moussaka.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26I feel overdressed.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29Oh, well, don't mind me. Take something off, if you like.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31Easy, tiger. SHE LAUGHS
0:15:31 > 0:15:34Ooh, there's nothing I love more than a stuffed shirt.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37Right, come on, let's get you a drink. Do you fancy an ouzo?
0:15:37 > 0:15:38Excuse me.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41Hiya. When you're ready. Thanks.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44Mm. That was lovely. Thanks, Adam.
0:15:44 > 0:15:48Thanks. To be honest with you, I'm relieved it's turned out so well.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50SHE LAUGHS What?
0:15:50 > 0:15:53Oh, I've just had this vision of you stressing over a hot stove.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55Stress? Don't know the meaning of the word.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57I've banished it from my life.
0:15:57 > 0:15:59There is such a thing as positive stress.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01That's one of the greatest myths of western society.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04That's not true. We need positive stress,
0:16:04 > 0:16:07it's what gives us the spark to meet challenges
0:16:07 > 0:16:08and do the things we love.
0:16:08 > 0:16:12- And you think working yourself into the ground is a great idea?- Sorry?
0:16:12 > 0:16:16- Have you ever thought about jacking it all in?- Why would I do that? I love my job.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19- The rat race isn't for you. - Well, medicine isn't the rat race.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21It's controlled by drug companies.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25Well, it's not controlled by drug companies
0:16:25 > 0:16:27and we need medication.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30There is such a thing as self-healing.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32And can you self-heal a heart condition?
0:16:32 > 0:16:36- Well, no, but... - Look, I don't just dole out pills.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39I like to think that I make a difference to people.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42Of course you do, but you have to work out what's right for you too.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44Well, I'm not past it!
0:16:44 > 0:16:47No, you're not, but...
0:16:47 > 0:16:49You're stunning, as ever.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52- Flattery will get you nowhere. - OK. Subject closed.
0:16:52 > 0:16:56- Why, because you're losing the argument?- I prefer to call it a discussion. I never argue.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58Sam and I used to argue. It clears the air.
0:16:58 > 0:17:02Laura and I used to feel sorry for couples that rowed.
0:17:02 > 0:17:06That's a little patronising, if you don't mind me saying.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08We used to think that life was too short.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13- I'm sorry.- No, it's fine. Don't be.

0:17:25 > 0:17:27Hiya! Ooh!
0:17:27 > 0:17:29Hiya!
0:17:29 > 0:17:31Thanks for coming. Booze is in the kitchen.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34- Red, white and beer. Help yourselves.- BOTH: Thank you.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36Barbs, will you put some music on? Thanks.
0:17:36 > 0:17:40- Hey!- Oh, Kev, I haven't even made any butties!
0:17:40 > 0:17:43I sat down with a glass of sherry to keep myself going
0:17:43 > 0:17:46and I realised I'd forgotten the cake. Where's Connor?
0:17:46 > 0:17:49- He had to see someone. - I trusted you to keep an eye on him.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52Hang on a minute...
0:17:52 > 0:17:54- Mum!- Oh, Connor, you're back!
0:17:54 > 0:17:56It's the birthday boy, everyone!
0:17:56 > 0:17:58CHEERING I can't hack this.
0:17:58 > 0:18:03- Tough. Your great-auntie Margaret's come all the way from Gloucester. - So? I didn't ask her to.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06- SHE SIGHS - Teenagers! What are they like?
0:18:07 > 0:18:10I have gone to all this trouble
0:18:10 > 0:18:13and you come in here with a face like a monkey sucking a lemon.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15Shelley, he's had a rough day.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17Oh, I suppose you've been with Leann?
0:18:17 > 0:18:20- What's it to you?- Oh, here we go!
0:18:20 > 0:18:22Who'd be a mother, eh?
0:18:22 > 0:18:25- So much love for your son, it almost breaks your heart.- Mum!
0:18:25 > 0:18:28And what do you get in return? Surly grunts.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31- When you are the one person who understands.- Shelley!
0:18:31 > 0:18:33Understands what?
0:18:33 > 0:18:35That you're gay, Connor.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38I can accept it, even if you can't!
0:18:40 > 0:18:43You liar! You lied to me!
0:18:43 > 0:18:45- Hey! Stop it! Stop it!- Connor, come on, let's go have a chat.
0:18:47 > 0:18:51Now, you add the cornmeal to the stock very slowly.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54- Would you like to try?- Yeah, OK.
0:18:56 > 0:19:01- Uh-huh.- Yeah. It's a much softer mixture than our suet dumplings.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04Yes. When I was a girl, it was the custom
0:19:04 > 0:19:08to eat the pap with your fingers, dipping it into the stew.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10It tastes much better that way.
0:19:10 > 0:19:12You talk a lot about Botswana,
0:19:12 > 0:19:15you say very little about where you live now.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18- Keep stirring or it will go too...too stiff.- Right.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21I know where your bus stop is, that's about it.
0:19:21 > 0:19:24Now, we cook this for 20 minutes
0:19:24 > 0:19:27and by that time the stew should be ready.
0:19:27 > 0:19:31I'll move this. Slowly.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39Your mum never could handle her drink.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42Everyone thinks I'm gay now, except me.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45- Hey, I don't.- What am I, then?
0:19:45 > 0:19:47Only you know how you feel, mate.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52Is everything working down there?
0:19:52 > 0:19:54Kev! It's not that I can't,
0:19:54 > 0:19:56I just...don't want to.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01I don't get it. Honest, I don't.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03Me and Leann are dead close.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06- Am I supposed to pretend to her? - No, that wouldn't be fair.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08So do I tell her there's something wrong with me?
0:20:08 > 0:20:10KEV SIGHS
0:20:10 > 0:20:14Say if you had a choice between enjoying sex with Leann,
0:20:14 > 0:20:17or Leann saying that it didn't matter about sex at all.
0:20:17 > 0:20:18Which would it be?
0:20:20 > 0:20:23The second one. That's bad, right?
0:20:24 > 0:20:27No, it's probably normal for you.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29I think you could be asexual.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32A sexual what?
0:20:32 > 0:20:36No, asexuals are people who have no desire for sex...at all.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38So you mean I'm not the only one?
0:20:42 > 0:20:46I tell you what, this s-souzo's having no effect on me whatsoever.
0:20:46 > 0:20:48SHE LAUGHS
0:20:48 > 0:20:50Right, let's get another one. Excuse me.
0:20:50 > 0:20:54It's just water and...what is it?
0:20:54 > 0:20:57- Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.- What is it?
0:20:58 > 0:21:01Oh...I can't remember.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04- It's too hot in here. - Right, now listen,
0:21:04 > 0:21:06I'm having all this garlic and you haven't had any.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09- So you...have to have some of that. - SHE LAUGHS
0:21:11 > 0:21:14I can't taste anything.
0:21:14 > 0:21:15SHE LAUGHS
0:21:15 > 0:21:17Aniseed!
0:21:17 > 0:21:20- Aniseed. Thank you. - SHE LAUGHS
0:21:20 > 0:21:22Cheers!
0:21:22 > 0:21:23Cheers!
0:21:23 > 0:21:25SHE LAUGHS
0:21:25 > 0:21:27- Thanks for coming, Margaret.- Bye.
0:21:27 > 0:21:30- I'll see you again, Bill. - Bye-bye.- See ya.
0:21:34 > 0:21:38I'm sorry you had to walk in on that, I didn't know you were there.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40Would it have made any difference if you had?
0:21:40 > 0:21:42You used to be just mates.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45We were never "just" mates.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47He should have been honest with you.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49Anyway, it's out in the open now.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51What if you're wrong?
0:21:51 > 0:21:53I've known since he was a little boy.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55- I am his mum after all.- Yeah?
0:21:55 > 0:21:58Well, I'm his girlfriend and I've just had sex with him.
0:22:00 > 0:22:02Connor!
0:22:02 > 0:22:03I'm sorry, yeah?

0:22:15 > 0:22:17Hey!
0:22:17 > 0:22:19Come here, you.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21Your eyebrows dance!
0:22:21 > 0:22:24Do they?!
0:22:24 > 0:22:27Like two little wiggly, hairy creatures
0:22:27 > 0:22:31wiggling around with joy and mischief.
0:22:31 > 0:22:35Hey, listen, don't ever, promise me, ever pluck them.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37Hey, me legs dance as well, you know?
0:22:37 > 0:22:40- Do they now?- Oh, yeah!
0:22:40 > 0:22:43SHE LAUGHS Hey!
0:22:43 > 0:22:44SHE LAUGHS
0:22:52 > 0:22:55How can not wanting sex be a sexual orientation?
0:22:55 > 0:22:57I knew she wouldn't get it!
0:22:57 > 0:22:58Leann?
0:22:58 > 0:23:02I want to talk to you on our own. It's private.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05You two go ahead. Your mum and I'll be just fine.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13So, is there nothing can be done, Kev?
0:23:13 > 0:23:16I mean, is there some special treatment or something?
0:23:16 > 0:23:18What exactly are you proposing? Surgery?
0:23:18 > 0:23:21Well, whatever it costs, whatever it takes.
0:23:21 > 0:23:25I don't believe I'm hearing this! Would you say the same thing if he was gay?
0:23:25 > 0:23:28- Of course not, being gay's natural. - So is this!
0:23:28 > 0:23:31It can't be. Sex is important.
0:23:31 > 0:23:32Not to Connor.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37What sort of life is he going to have?
0:23:39 > 0:23:42A happy one...given the chance.
0:23:42 > 0:23:46I'll be there to support him, but he's going to need you on his side.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49I'm going to be denied grandkids just cos he can't be bothered!
0:23:49 > 0:23:51Shelley, you're not listening.
0:23:51 > 0:23:52And what about Leann?
0:23:52 > 0:23:55He's going to be heartbroken when that falls apart.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01Ah! Well, that felt very decadent.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04I mean, eating the dumplings with our fingers.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06You're right, they do taste better that way.
0:24:06 > 0:24:09Well, I am glad you enjoyed it.
0:24:09 > 0:24:13Oh! Now it is a lot later than I had anticipated.
0:24:13 > 0:24:16- Let us do the washing up. - Gosh! No, I can manage that.
0:24:16 > 0:24:18You get along if you need to.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21I'll call you a taxi. Where shall I say you're going?
0:24:21 > 0:24:25No, that...that is not necessary, thank you.
0:24:28 > 0:24:34Mrs Tembe, if you don't want to tell me where you live, that's fine.
0:24:36 > 0:24:39I am so sorry that I offended you.
0:24:39 > 0:24:44No, you haven't. This evening has made me feel human again.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47That probably sounds strange, but just a normal friendship,
0:24:47 > 0:24:50it suddenly seems possible and it didn't before.
0:24:52 > 0:24:57Mr Robson, you...you are more than welcome to come to my home.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00No. I accept there have to be boundaries.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03No, with true friendship, there are no rules.
0:25:03 > 0:25:07Would next week be convenient?
0:25:11 > 0:25:14- Why are you listening to old people? - Kev's a doctor.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17Like he knows everything?
0:25:17 > 0:25:21No, but...you'll have to find a proper boyfriend.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23What, anybody'll do?
0:25:23 > 0:25:25I'm just saying, you deserve better than me.
0:25:25 > 0:25:28I think about you loads, Connor. All the time.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30Me, too.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32And you really fancy me, right?
0:25:33 > 0:25:35And you want sex to be great?
0:25:35 > 0:25:38- More than anything in the world? - Well, yeah, course.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41So it will be. Cos we love each other, yeah.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43I'll never give up on you.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45Ever.

0:25:58 > 0:26:01- It'll be £6.50.- You think you're coming in, do you?
0:26:01 > 0:26:04Well, I haven't been formally invited.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07Oh, have I not formally invited you? Let me formally invite you.
0:26:07 > 0:26:11Mr Bellamy, would you kindly escort me to my bedchamber?
0:26:11 > 0:26:14It's that one up there.
0:26:14 > 0:26:17SHE LAUGHS Aye, go on, then. What's all that there?
0:26:17 > 0:26:20Ohh! Come on, my trusty stead.

0:26:34 > 0:26:35I could tell you were different.
0:26:35 > 0:26:39You what? All them fellas tucking tenners in your G-string
0:26:39 > 0:26:42and Barry's the one that catches your eye?
0:26:42 > 0:26:44- He won't argue. - You're the first woman I've ever met
0:26:44 > 0:26:46who actually wants to have more arguments.
0:26:46 > 0:26:47Time for me to man up.
