0:00:51 > 0:00:53Morning, gorgeous.
0:00:53 > 0:00:54Happy birthday, Mum!
0:00:54 > 0:00:57Aw, you remembered!
0:00:59 > 0:01:02I'm supposed to be watching my weight.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05Oh, pish. You've got the body of a 25-year-old.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08How do you do it, Mum? What's your secret?
0:01:08 > 0:01:09It's no secret.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14You two!
0:01:14 > 0:01:17Now then, lady - you're not lifting a finger today.
0:01:17 > 0:01:18Tell her, Bex.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21I got up at six and did the housework.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23And Dad's finished all the decorating.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25Oh! This is the life, eh?
0:01:26 > 0:01:29'Mum? When's breakfast?! I'm starving!'
0:01:29 > 0:01:31Mum?
0:01:31 > 0:01:32Love?
0:01:33 > 0:01:35ALARM RINGS
0:01:38 > 0:01:42- Mum!- Welcome to my world!
0:01:42 > 0:01:46Mum, I think I've got frostbite. My toes are completely numb.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48It's not affected your mouth.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51- SNORING - How do you sleep next to that?
0:01:51 > 0:01:5424 years of practice and lead-lined earplugs.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57Oh, Becky? What day is it today?
0:01:57 > 0:01:58Monday. Why?
0:01:58 > 0:02:00No reason.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02Are you making breakfast or what?
0:02:02 > 0:02:03Oh, sorry, your worship!
0:02:03 > 0:02:06Your smoked salmon and scrambled egg will be served in the dining room.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08- By the way, Mum?- Yes?
0:02:08 > 0:02:10- We've got a leak.- Eh?
0:02:10 > 0:02:12From the loft. The bathroom ceiling's wet.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14I saw it last night.
0:02:14 > 0:02:15Well, why didn't you say something before?
0:02:15 > 0:02:17I forgot.
0:02:17 > 0:02:21Joe! Joe!
0:02:21 > 0:02:23You don't have to be a celebrity. Maybe you can just be you.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25- An ordinary woman.- Oh, thanks.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27No, I... Maybe that's the theme?
0:02:28 > 0:02:31There's no such thing as an ordinary woman.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33All women are extraordinary.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35Isn't that right, Mrs Tembe?
0:02:35 > 0:02:36Yes, indeed.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39Oh, Miss Pitman.
0:02:39 > 0:02:40Morning.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43We...I did not expect you in today.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45I don't know what gave you that idea.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48- How are you feeling, Valerie? - Fine, thanks.
0:02:51 > 0:02:55Oh, I didn't realise there was a staff meeting. Did I miss much?
0:02:55 > 0:02:57No. Nothing.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02Well done, everybody - that was subtle(!)
0:03:04 > 0:03:06Morning.
0:03:06 > 0:03:08Morning.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11Valerie, I got you this.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16A patient recommended it.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18Aw, thanks, Niamh.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21It's nice to know someone still cares.
0:03:23 > 0:03:27Valerie, if you have any questions at all, my door is always open.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29- It's quite liberating, actually.- Oh?
0:03:29 > 0:03:30Out and proud.
0:03:32 > 0:03:36Oh, um... Isn't pink just for breast cancer?
0:03:36 > 0:03:37I could be wrong.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41What colour should I be wearing?
0:03:45 > 0:03:46Oh!
0:03:59 > 0:04:01Don't you want that?
0:04:14 > 0:04:16I'm eating for two.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18Are you sure it's not quads?
0:04:18 > 0:04:21Don't forget the midwife's due this morning.
0:04:21 > 0:04:22GURGLING
0:04:22 > 0:04:23Oh, charming.
0:04:23 > 0:04:27Oh, here he is, Bob the flaming Builder. Well?
0:04:28 > 0:04:33Yeah, there's a pipe leaking. Must have frozen.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35I know the feeling.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37I'll be wearing a balaclava if it carries on like this.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40If you'd fixed the thermostat, this wouldn't have happened.
0:04:40 > 0:04:41Can I have my breakfast in peace?
0:04:41 > 0:04:44Dad, your phone rang when you were in the loft.
0:04:44 > 0:04:45- Who was it?- Stacey.
0:04:45 > 0:04:49- Said she's got a couple of call-outs for you this morning. - Better get down the office.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52Has she found a skirt that reaches halfway to her knees yet?
0:04:52 > 0:04:56- I wouldn't know.- You're spending a lot of time at the orifice lately.
0:04:56 > 0:04:57Cheers for the sandwich.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00Joe. Are you sure you haven't forgotten something?
0:05:00 > 0:05:01What?
0:05:01 > 0:05:03Well, what day is it today?
0:05:03 > 0:05:05Monday. All day.
0:05:05 > 0:05:09- And don't forget it's darts tonight so I'll be back late.- How could I?
0:05:09 > 0:05:11It's like the 11th commandment -
0:05:11 > 0:05:13"Thou shalt always play darts on a Monday."
0:05:13 > 0:05:17When was the last time we spent some time together? Apart from a quick bit of how's your father.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19- Oh!- I brought some boxes down from the loft.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22They're on the landing. The damp's got in them.
0:05:23 > 0:05:27Great. Leave me to clear up the mess as usual!
0:05:29 > 0:05:31Happy birthday, Joan.
0:05:32 > 0:05:36As I have just said, Dr Carter is fully booked this morning.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38If it's an emergency, we do have a drop-in clinic,
0:05:38 > 0:05:41but that's on a first come, first served basis.
0:05:41 > 0:05:45I'm not being rude, Mrs Bishop. I'm trying to help.
0:05:46 > 0:05:50Yes, I do appreciate you're not feeling well. As it happens,
0:05:50 > 0:05:53I have Hodgkin's lymphoma, which believe you me is no picnic!
0:05:53 > 0:05:54Valerie!
0:05:57 > 0:05:58Hello?
0:06:00 > 0:06:02Oh!
0:06:02 > 0:06:05Why don't you get yourself a cup of tea? I'll cover the desk.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07No, I'm fine, Karen.
0:06:07 > 0:06:08PHONE RINGS
0:06:08 > 0:06:10Mill Health Centre.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13Hey, how are you doing?
0:06:13 > 0:06:15I'm fine, thank you.
0:06:15 > 0:06:16Oh, by the way,
0:06:16 > 0:06:20I'm not going to sue you for missing the diagnosis of my cancer.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23I mean, you could thank me.
0:06:24 > 0:06:25Thanks.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27Oh, and your next patient's here.
0:06:27 > 0:06:28Mrs Ford?
0:06:32 > 0:06:34Morning, Mrs Ford.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39VOICES FROM TV
0:06:45 > 0:06:46CLATTERING
0:06:57 > 0:07:01MUSIC: All That She Wants by Ace of Base
0:07:47 > 0:07:49SHE CRIES
0:07:53 > 0:07:56Bex! Can you get that?
0:08:02 > 0:08:04Rebecca!
0:08:16 > 0:08:17Hiya, Joan.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19What's wrong?
0:08:21 > 0:08:22What's happened?
0:08:26 > 0:08:29I don't know where Bex has got to.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31Usually have to chisel her off the sofa.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39Are you all right?
0:08:39 > 0:08:40Bad morning.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43These were on the mat.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46Least somebody remembered.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49My husband and my daughter forgot my birthday.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51I don't know why I'm so upset.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53It's not like it means anything at my age.
0:08:53 > 0:08:54Course it does.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56Everything's getting on top of me at the moment.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58Joe's not fixed the heating -
0:08:58 > 0:09:00now we've got a pipe leaking in the loft.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02My wedding dress was in storage up there.
0:09:02 > 0:09:06Now it's all mouldy, which pretty much sums up my life at the moment.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09Do you want me to make you a cup of tea?
0:09:09 > 0:09:11Only if you can read my tea leaves.
0:09:12 > 0:09:13What's brought this on?
0:09:13 > 0:09:16To be honest, I think it's the change.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18My periods have been intermittent for years.
0:09:18 > 0:09:19How intermittent?
0:09:19 > 0:09:22Like waiting for a bus in the Gobi Desert.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25My mum was the same - had her last period when she was 37.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30Plus I'm biting Joe's head off at the moment.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33No wonder he's giving me a wide berth.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35The thing is, I do love him.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37I just don't think he feels the same.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39- Hey! Come on.- Sorry.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44Have you spoken to your GP about your periods?
0:09:44 > 0:09:45No.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47Promise me you'll make an appointment today.
0:09:47 > 0:09:51I will. I'm sorry about Beck's disappearing act.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54Oh, no, it's fine. I've got another home visit up the road,
0:09:54 > 0:09:56so I'll pop back later.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58Do you think she'll be back by 12?
0:09:58 > 0:09:59I'll make sure of it.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02Have I got make-up all over my face?
0:10:02 > 0:10:07No. It's mostly on your chin. I'm only joking.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10- I better go and sort myself out.- OK.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13- Thanks, Ruhma. - No problem. I'll see myself out.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20I've got to pick up my costume in 15 minutes
0:10:20 > 0:10:22and I still can't decide who to be!
0:10:22 > 0:10:24Who was your idol growing up?
0:10:24 > 0:10:29- Um... - I liked Gary Numan. And Pam Ayres.
0:10:29 > 0:10:33Um... What about a film star?
0:10:33 > 0:10:35- It's a bit obvious, isn't it?- Oh.
0:10:35 > 0:10:36Mind you, I suppose
0:10:36 > 0:10:40there's always somebody like Emmeline Pankhurst or Marie Curie.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43I mean, she was the one who inspired me to work in medicine.
0:10:43 > 0:10:44Not very glamorous, though, is it?
0:10:44 > 0:10:46Margaret Thatcher?
0:10:46 > 0:10:48No, thank you, I'm not that desperate.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51Well, you're looking really well.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54Oh, thank you. I'm sorry about before.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56It's OK.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59- I nipped out to get a card for Mum. - Right.
0:10:59 > 0:11:04So, have you made a decision yet on the birth?
0:11:04 > 0:11:06- I definitely want a home birth.- OK.
0:11:06 > 0:11:07Cos that way I can have it here
0:11:07 > 0:11:11and watch my favourite programmes on the telly, take my mind off it.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13So you'll want a birthing pool?
0:11:13 > 0:11:14Are they dear?
0:11:14 > 0:11:16You can look into companies online.
0:11:18 > 0:11:19Have you told your mum about this?
0:11:19 > 0:11:22She's dead against it, but it's my baby, isn't it?
0:11:22 > 0:11:23I can have it wherever I like.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25Well, it is her house.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28Why don't we write a list of all the equipment you might need,
0:11:28 > 0:11:31then you can discuss it properly with her?
0:11:31 > 0:11:33Is the dad going to be here for the birth?
0:11:33 > 0:11:36He was barely there for the conception.
0:11:36 > 0:11:40I'm even beginning to sound like Mum.
0:11:40 > 0:11:41He's running a bar in Greece.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44I texted him about it but he doesn't want anything to do with it.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46He's got two other kids already.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48Busy lad.
0:11:48 > 0:11:52It is going to be all right, isn't it? I'm scared, Ruhma.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55I'm going to be here and so is your mum.
0:11:55 > 0:11:59She didn't want me to keep it. Not at first.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01But I'm glad that I did.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03She's going to make a great granny, you know.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05If you say so.
0:12:05 > 0:12:06Trust me.
0:12:06 > 0:12:10There is nothing like the patter of tiny feet to bring it all back.
0:12:15 > 0:12:19Hi. I've got an appointment with Dr Donaghue? Joan Gray.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22Hello. I haven't seen you in ages.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25Hardly ever get ill, touch wood.
0:12:25 > 0:12:30I was the same, and then last week I find out I've got cancer.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32Valerie!
0:12:32 > 0:12:36People don't know what to say. Treading on eggshells!
0:12:36 > 0:12:40- Well, it's amazing what they can do these days, doctors.- Hm.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43Joan Gray? This way.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45- Bye, then.- Bye.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49Blimey, why don't you get it on a T-shirt?
0:12:49 > 0:12:51Well, there's no point pretending it's not happening.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53Mrs Reuben?
0:12:53 > 0:12:55Ooh! How did it go?
0:12:55 > 0:12:57The photo shoot is cancelled!
0:13:02 > 0:13:05Oh, I've just brewed some lapsang.
0:13:05 > 0:13:06OK.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09- How was your morning? - It could have been better.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12The landlord's definitely booting us out.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14We're going to be homeless for Christmas.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16My offer still stands. There's plenty of room at my place.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19- Heston, it's really kind of you, but...- I would enjoy the company.
0:13:19 > 0:13:20Thank you.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22As Dostoevsky said,
0:13:22 > 0:13:24"Let the world go to hell but..."
0:13:24 > 0:13:26- "I should always have my tea." - Correct.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28Thank you.
0:13:28 > 0:13:29Hey, Joan.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31Can't get shot of me today. Where's the lav?
0:13:31 > 0:13:33I have to pee into this.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35- Just opposite reception, that way. - Thanks.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37So.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40Operation bed the midwife - give me a progress report?
0:13:48 > 0:13:50Don't need Quincy for this diagnosis.
0:13:50 > 0:13:51I know it's the big M.
0:13:51 > 0:13:55I've got all the symptoms. Apart from hot flushes.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57Actually, I could do with those - the house is that cold!
0:13:57 > 0:13:59- Well, we shouldn't jump to conclusions.- Will I get HRT?
0:13:59 > 0:14:02Maybe that'll help with the mood swings.
0:14:02 > 0:14:06That'll be music to Joe and Beck's ears!
0:14:06 > 0:14:08Joan.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10I don't think it is the menopause.
0:14:10 > 0:14:11What is it?
0:14:11 > 0:14:13Well, I'll have to double check.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15Oh, it's cancer, isn't it?
0:14:15 > 0:14:18No. No. I think you're pregnant.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23That's what it says.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28Why won't you do the shoot?
0:14:28 > 0:14:33Because I had a blazing row with the misogynistic pig in the costume shop. Mr Benn it was not!
0:14:33 > 0:14:34What happened?
0:14:34 > 0:14:37Well, I decided that I wanted to be Elizabeth I.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39Apparently they've had a run on Tudors
0:14:39 > 0:14:42and the only thing left was extortionately expensive.
0:14:42 > 0:14:46- And?- Well, I was trying the dress on and the zip broke.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49Then he tried to charge me for it.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51But you'd have been a great Elizabeth.
0:14:51 > 0:14:52Yes, well, nevertheless.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55What if I can think of a way of you doing the shoot
0:14:55 > 0:14:57without having to wear a costume?
0:14:59 > 0:15:01- Really?- Hm.
0:15:01 > 0:15:03You're not on the pill?
0:15:03 > 0:15:06I didn't think I could have any more kids.
0:15:06 > 0:15:07And you don't use condoms?
0:15:07 > 0:15:10Joe says it's like wearing your wellies on the beach.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12This can't be right.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15You can sometimes get a false positive.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17You should to do another test in the morning.
0:15:17 > 0:15:23We spent years trying for another baby. I'm 47, Ruhma!
0:15:23 > 0:15:25It happens.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28What's Joe going to say? He already thinks I'm a nutter.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30It's going to be all right.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33No, it's not all right. Nothing about this is all right!
0:15:33 > 0:15:35Look at the state of me!
0:15:35 > 0:15:37Can Joe come and pick you up?
0:15:37 > 0:15:38Never mind pick me up,
0:15:38 > 0:15:42he'd rather drop me off - off the nearest bridge, probably!
0:15:42 > 0:15:45- I'm going to run you home.- Don't be daft, you're not a cab service.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48I'm going into town. I go past your house anyway.
0:15:48 > 0:15:49- No.- I insist.
0:15:51 > 0:15:52What am I going to do?
0:15:52 > 0:15:55I thought all this stuff was behind me.
0:15:57 > 0:15:59Would you hold still!
0:15:59 > 0:16:01I look like I've got the pox!
0:16:01 > 0:16:04You look pale and interesting. You'd blend in well in Duncarrick.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07- I look like I'm going trick or treating.- You're such a diva.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09Are you decent in there?
0:16:09 > 0:16:11Decent? I am a virgin queen, remember!
0:16:13 > 0:16:14All set?
0:16:14 > 0:16:18Nearly. Jimmi, will you make me a cup of tea?
0:16:18 > 0:16:20What did your last slave die of?
0:16:20 > 0:16:21I sent him to the Tower.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29I think the coast is clear. Thanks for the lift, Ruhma.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31I told you, it's no trouble.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34- Surprise!- Surprise!
0:16:34 > 0:16:36Happy birthday!
0:16:40 > 0:16:41What's wrong?
0:16:41 > 0:16:43How come you're back?
0:16:43 > 0:16:46Oh, what now? First you get upset when we forget your birthday.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48Now you're upset when we try and make up for it!
0:16:48 > 0:16:51There's no pleasing some people.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55I think you'd better sit down.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57There's something I need to tell you both.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09Heston is being very Heston-like.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11He's not letting me in, but you can see it in his eyes.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13He's madly keen on her.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15And we've already established that she's keen on him.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17So? What's the problem?
0:17:17 > 0:17:21I don't know, maybe they just need a little bit of a nudge.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24Hm. We need a plan.
0:17:24 > 0:17:25A plan indeed.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28I'll have a smoke. That usually gets the cogs going.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31And I shall have a coffee.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33Kettle's on.
0:17:34 > 0:17:35It's important for me to keep busy!
0:17:35 > 0:17:38Is it just me or is Pitman getting on your nerves too?
0:17:38 > 0:17:40No, course not.
0:17:40 > 0:17:41Hiya.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43Fancy a coffee and a natter?
0:17:43 > 0:17:45Do you know, I've got errands to run.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49- Oh, OK. See you later.- OK.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53You're having a baby? At your age?
0:17:53 > 0:17:55Thank for rubbing it in.
0:17:55 > 0:17:56Will you keep it?
0:17:56 > 0:18:00I thought that was something we'd decide together.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02But aren't there more risks if we have a baby this late?
0:18:02 > 0:18:04Well, there can be.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07We tried for years to give Bex a little brother or sister.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09We even spoke to your lot about it.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11Unplanned pregnancies can happen.
0:18:11 > 0:18:12Don't we know it!
0:18:12 > 0:18:15I was 16. It was a mistake.
0:18:15 > 0:18:16You've got no excuse!
0:18:16 > 0:18:19Er, I'm in a relationship. There is a difference.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21Pfft! If you can call it that.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24You should have heard the way she spoke to me when I found out.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27"You should have kept your legs crossed, shouldn't you?"
0:18:27 > 0:18:28She didn't want me to keep it!
0:18:28 > 0:18:29That's not true.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32I just wanted more for my daughter than to be up the duff at 16!
0:18:32 > 0:18:34I was giving you the option.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36I said I'd stand by you whatever you decided.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39- Yeah, well.- For crying out loud, will you just shut up?!
0:18:39 > 0:18:41You're doing my head in.
0:18:41 > 0:18:42Oh, poor you.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44You even sound like her!
0:18:44 > 0:18:45BOTH: Thanks.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47I'm going back to work.
0:18:47 > 0:18:48So that's it?
0:18:48 > 0:18:51Well, someone's got to earn a crust to keep this madhouse together.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53Oh, come off it.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55You haven't wanted to be here for years, Joe.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57Why keep pretending?
0:18:58 > 0:19:00Maybe you're right.
0:19:00 > 0:19:02Fine.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04Then maybe it's time you went your way and I went mine?
0:19:04 > 0:19:08You know what, that's the best idea you've had all day.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13DOOR SLAMS
0:19:16 > 0:19:19Well? Do you notice anything different about me?
0:19:20 > 0:19:22Um... Can you give us a clue?
0:19:23 > 0:19:25The ribbon?
0:19:25 > 0:19:27Yeah. Daniel was right.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31Oh, Valerie!
0:19:31 > 0:19:35Oh, I'm sorry. Today has been an emotional rollercoaster.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37There's no need to apologise.
0:19:37 > 0:19:41I'm just so touched by everyone's support.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44Oh! I've got to go, but I'll catch you later, OK?
0:19:45 > 0:19:49Perhaps you would like to come to dinner tomorrow night,
0:19:49 > 0:19:52and then we can have a proper chat?
0:19:52 > 0:19:54I'd like that. Thank you.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00Are there risks? Having a baby at her age?
0:20:00 > 0:20:03Pregnancy comes with risks at any age.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05Your mum's been through it before.
0:20:05 > 0:20:06Her body knows what to do.
0:20:07 > 0:20:11They never used to argue. I feel guilty now.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13I wish I hadn't been so gobby.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15Do you think they'll split up?
0:20:15 > 0:20:19I don't know, Becky. Marriage isn't easy.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21Are you married?
0:20:22 > 0:20:28I used to be. Look, I better get back.
0:20:28 > 0:20:29Please don't.
0:20:31 > 0:20:37Hey, I'm sure your mum and dad are going to work things out.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39She only wanted what was best for me.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42She had every right to be annoyed when I fell pregnant.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44I was annoyed with myself.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47I hope I'll be a good mum.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49I'm useless at everything else.
0:20:49 > 0:20:53No, you're not. You're going to be a fantastic mum.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56And you had every right to be angry with me.
0:20:56 > 0:20:58I just can't believe that this time next year,
0:20:58 > 0:21:02- we might both be pushing prams up the high street!- I can.
0:21:02 > 0:21:05At least it means I don't have to go through all this on my own.
0:21:05 > 0:21:07Hey, we'll save a fortune on baby clothes.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11You're going to be all right.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13I'll be with you every step of the way.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16And what about you and Dad?
0:21:16 > 0:21:18He loves you, no matter what.
0:21:19 > 0:21:20Is it really over?
0:21:22 > 0:21:24I don't know.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26I love you, Mum.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28Me, too. Come here.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33KNOCK
0:21:33 > 0:21:35Come in.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37Next week's rota for you.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40- Oh, I think Valerie brought me one a while ago.- Did she?
0:21:40 > 0:21:44Actually, are you free tomorrow night, about 7.30?
0:21:44 > 0:21:45Um, yes.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48I'm having a Christmas dinner party. Would you like to come?
0:21:48 > 0:21:49I'd love to.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51That's very kind of you, Karen.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54Valerie really needs her friends around her at the moment.
0:21:54 > 0:21:58Um... I wasn't actually going to invite Valerie, on this occasion.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00Oh. Who's coming?
0:22:00 > 0:22:03Just a few friends. So will you come?
0:22:03 > 0:22:04Yes.
0:22:04 > 0:22:09Great. Well, I'll see you at 7.30.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24DOOR CLOSES
0:22:24 > 0:22:27Bex, is that you?
0:22:27 > 0:22:29Becky?
0:22:38 > 0:22:42So that's 4.30 on Friday.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45Yes, yes, we will see you... Bye.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47Ruhma?
0:22:47 > 0:22:49Er, um...
0:22:49 > 0:22:53I've got a new rota for you when you've got a minute.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55OK. Thanks.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58Any luck with your accommodation?
0:22:58 > 0:23:02No, not really. I got side-tracked.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04By what?
0:23:04 > 0:23:08You know when you're really rooting for a happy ending for someone?
0:23:12 > 0:23:14Yeah.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19The dress is ruined. Who am I kidding?
0:23:19 > 0:23:22There's no point keeping it. I wouldn't fit in it now.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25I'm not that girl any more.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28What happened to her? Joan Franklin?
0:23:28 > 0:23:30She turned into Joan Gray.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32And then what?
0:23:32 > 0:23:34Took a wrong turn. Got lost.
0:23:34 > 0:23:35Missing persons.
0:23:37 > 0:23:40So what now?
0:23:40 > 0:23:42I can have a termination.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44Then once Beck's got her own place
0:23:44 > 0:23:48and assuming you ever fix this place up, we can put it on the market?
0:23:48 > 0:23:50All this because I forgot your birthday?
0:23:50 > 0:23:52This has been going on for years, Joe!
0:23:52 > 0:23:54I know.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57You turned your back on me. You stopped talking to me.
0:23:57 > 0:23:59I wish I could go back.
0:23:59 > 0:24:00It doesn't work that way.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03Maybe it's too late.
0:24:06 > 0:24:09We spent years trying for another kid.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11It's what pulled us apart.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14That and you looking at other women.
0:24:14 > 0:24:15In your head!
0:24:15 > 0:24:17I've never looked twice at Stacey.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19I'm old enough to be her dad.
0:24:19 > 0:24:22I mean, I've got a beer belly, I've got athlete's foot!
0:24:22 > 0:24:26I've got more stretch marks than you, Joan.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29Do you really think she'd look twice at me?!
0:24:29 > 0:24:34And even if she did, she's not you, Joan.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36There's only ever been you.
0:24:36 > 0:24:43Look, I know I've screwed up, but maybe this pregnancy's God's way of showing us what we still have?
0:24:43 > 0:24:45It's not too late.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47Do you really want a termination?
0:24:47 > 0:24:50Of course not. I want this baby.
0:24:50 > 0:24:51I want you.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53Finally, something we agree on!
0:24:53 > 0:24:55It's a flaming miracle.
0:24:55 > 0:24:56It is!
0:24:59 > 0:25:01I'm having a baby, Joe.
0:25:01 > 0:25:03I'm going to be a dad again.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05Are we insane?
0:25:05 > 0:25:08Probably! But we've got away with it so far, haven't we?
0:25:10 > 0:25:12Oh, come here!
0:25:17 > 0:25:19Well?
0:25:19 > 0:25:22It's amazing! And I didn't even have to wear a corset.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24Bonus, thank you!
0:25:24 > 0:25:29I'm so sorry. I can't seem to book you in. The screen's frozen.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31Would it be possible for you to call back in ten minutes?
0:25:31 > 0:25:34Hi. Oh, look at us! Snap!
0:25:34 > 0:25:36Badge of honour.
0:25:36 > 0:25:37I'm going to have to reset...
0:25:37 > 0:25:40When were you diagnosed?
0:25:40 > 0:25:42Ooh! Ruhma. Sorry, wait...
0:25:42 > 0:25:44I got the rota. It's on the desk.
0:25:44 > 0:25:48No, it's not about that. What are you doing tomorrow night?
0:25:48 > 0:25:49Oh, I dunno.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51I'm having a Christmas soiree.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54- I'd love you to come.- Er...
0:25:54 > 0:25:56- Please. It's going to be ever so good.- What time?
0:25:56 > 0:25:58- 7.30.- OK.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00- You've got a patient. I'll see you tomorrow.- OK.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03I'm so sorry to keep you. Valerie?
0:26:03 > 0:26:07Hello, Mill Health Centre. Can I put you on hold? OK.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09Valerie!
0:26:09 > 0:26:11Just a minute!
0:26:11 > 0:26:14Sorry, Mrs Hastings? Would you take a seat?
0:26:14 > 0:26:17Two ticks. Sorry!
0:26:17 > 0:26:23Hello. Hello?
0:26:23 > 0:26:26It's such a shock, isn't it, when you're diagnosed?
0:26:26 > 0:26:28I didn't know anybody who'd had it.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33OK, let's do this.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36CAR WINDOW SMASHES, ALARM GOES OFF
0:26:36 > 0:26:39Would it hurt her to load the dishwasher and take out the rubbish?
0:26:39 > 0:26:42All right, I'll have a word with her.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45I thought she might let me keep the baby, but of course not.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48They've just extended my contract at work,
0:26:48 > 0:26:50so looks like I'll be staying around.
