0:00:30 > 0:00:31Here you go.
0:00:39 > 0:00:41Quite chilly out this morning.
0:00:41 > 0:00:43You're not feeling cold, are you?
0:00:45 > 0:00:47They said you hardly touched your tea last night.
0:00:47 > 0:00:49Do you think you could manage some now?
0:00:49 > 0:00:52Yes.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54I'm doing the market later.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57I'll get some of those biscuits you like.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59And I've not forgotten your slippers.
0:00:59 > 0:01:00Any colour you fancy?
0:01:08 > 0:01:10Well, hello. There's a turn up.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12Just following the sergeant's instructions.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15Coffee and cupcakes for the beautiful lady at the campus surgery.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17Aw.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20And would I take one for his wife as well.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22Right. And where is the charmer?
0:01:22 > 0:01:24Manning the desk.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27- I'm flying solo today.- Ooh.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29- Right. Take care.- Thank you.
0:01:30 > 0:01:31Oh! What're you doing here?
0:01:33 > 0:01:34Hello to you, too.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37Smile nicely for the policeman and you might get a cupcake.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39Yeah? What have you done?
0:01:40 > 0:01:41So suspicious.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44Well, if it seems too good to be true, then it usually is.
0:01:44 > 0:01:45You're too good to be true.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48Ooh, she shoots, he scores.
0:01:48 > 0:01:49Somebody shoot me.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51Oh, what's rattled you?
0:01:51 > 0:01:53Oh, nobody ever gets him a treat.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55Thanks, Karen.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57So, why the surprise visit?
0:01:57 > 0:01:59Well, I was passing.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01And you missed me?
0:02:01 > 0:02:03You were saying you had some leave owed
0:02:03 > 0:02:04and so do I, so...
0:02:04 > 0:02:06How about it?
0:02:06 > 0:02:07What? A holiday?
0:02:07 > 0:02:09Together?
0:02:09 > 0:02:11Mr Wratten, this way. Excuse me. Thank you.
0:02:15 > 0:02:16What do you reckon?
0:02:18 > 0:02:20Mm. Samosas.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23You're spoiling me.
0:02:23 > 0:02:24Well, dig in.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27The sooner we finish these, the quicker we get on to that cake.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29Rose water and pistachio.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31Looks delicious, Ed.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34Very indulgent, but not very nutritious.
0:02:34 > 0:02:35As if that matters.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38I know, but it's a hard habit to break
0:02:38 > 0:02:40after years of lecturing all those mums-to-be
0:02:40 > 0:02:42on the do's and don'ts.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45Eat sensibly, follow a healthy diet.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48When you first started, did the advice began and end with,
0:02:48 > 0:02:51"Try to cut back on the smoking and cut out the vodka"?
0:02:51 > 0:02:53- We weren't that lax.- Yeah.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55A bit more regimented in some ways.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57Yeah, well, no partners in the birthing room.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59No, I used to tell them go home.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01"We'll phone you when it's all over."
0:03:01 > 0:03:03They'd soon show me a clean pair of heels.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05Yeah, probably to the pub.
0:03:05 > 0:03:06ED LAUGHS
0:03:06 > 0:03:09Aw. Do you miss it, Ed?
0:03:09 > 0:03:11Oh, I miss the arrivals.
0:03:11 > 0:03:15And this. Swapping war stories,
0:03:15 > 0:03:17- but Gabby keeps me in the loop. - Yeah.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19DOORBELL RINGS
0:03:19 > 0:03:20That'll be the window cleaner.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23Ooh, lucky you!
0:03:23 > 0:03:25And don't start without me!
0:03:25 > 0:03:26Yes, Miss.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34Yes?
0:03:34 > 0:03:36- Edwina Herriot?- Can I help you?
0:03:36 > 0:03:37Who used to work at St Phil's?
0:03:37 > 0:03:39Who are you?
0:03:39 > 0:03:41Hello, Mum.
0:03:41 > 0:03:42I'm sorry?
0:03:42 > 0:03:45It's me. Gavin. Your son.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48- You've got the wrong address. - It's a bit of a shock, I know.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50I gave you no warning, but...
0:03:50 > 0:03:53LAUGHTER
0:03:53 > 0:03:55I know it wasn't the best excuse for a party.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58"Whoopee, I got to the end of a year I never thought I'd see."
0:03:58 > 0:04:01What do you mean? That's the best excuse going.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03Well, I was just going to say it doesn't matter what the reason,
0:04:03 > 0:04:05it was lovely to see everyone together,
0:04:05 > 0:04:07all up on their feet, dancing.
0:04:07 > 0:04:08Yeah, absolutely.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10Joe's been dancing all weekend, too.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13Oh, has he really? With excitement, I suppose, cos of the nativity.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15No, he's playing a bungalow.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18All the houses have got this dance routine they have to do
0:04:18 > 0:04:19and they've got to sing this song,
0:04:19 > 0:04:23- "No room at the inn, or anywhere else for that matter."- Aw.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25I'd hardly call it a dance routine.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28They're just all jumping up and down in time with a few jazz hands thrown in.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30Like... ?
0:04:32 > 0:04:34VALERIE LAUGHS
0:04:35 > 0:04:38I just want some answers.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41It's taken ages to find you and work up the courage.
0:04:41 > 0:04:42Am I that much of a dark secret?
0:04:45 > 0:04:47What do you really want? You're upsetting her.
0:04:47 > 0:04:48Who are you?
0:04:48 > 0:04:50I'm someone who's known her for years, OK,
0:04:50 > 0:04:51and she's never mentioned a son.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53I want to know why she gave me up.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55How are you so sure you've found the right woman?
0:04:55 > 0:04:56I can prove who I am.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01Look at me.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04Take a good, long look.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07It's me, Mum.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09You're nothing to do with me.
0:05:09 > 0:05:10Why did you keep her and not me?
0:05:10 > 0:05:12What are you talking about?
0:05:15 > 0:05:19Look, I'm just wondering. Maybe it's a mental health thing?
0:05:19 > 0:05:21You know, not a mistake?
0:05:21 > 0:05:23We should just talk to him and find out a bit.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26No. It's not our responsibility.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30I mean, I don't see what we can do.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34I've been looking for you for ages.
0:05:34 > 0:05:35I come all this way...
0:05:37 > 0:05:39..and now you want to reject me again.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48Fine.
0:05:48 > 0:05:49Five minutes.
0:05:54 > 0:05:58Now, I have received
0:05:58 > 0:06:01a written request from Dr Haskey.
0:06:01 > 0:06:05He has asked that our centres not be decorated for Christmas this year.
0:06:05 > 0:06:06Oh, here we go.
0:06:06 > 0:06:07What?!
0:06:07 > 0:06:11I know, but we have to take it seriously
0:06:11 > 0:06:14on the grounds of religious and belief discrimination.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16I think he's trying to wind you up.
0:06:16 > 0:06:21As an atheist, he believes that such decorations
0:06:21 > 0:06:25is "offensive to my sensibilities and we do not make such a fuss
0:06:25 > 0:06:27"over other religious festivals."
0:06:28 > 0:06:31So. How do we proceed?
0:06:34 > 0:06:36So you're the same age as her daughter?
0:06:36 > 0:06:39We were twins? I never realised.
0:06:39 > 0:06:40You're not anything.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42Where is she? Does she live local? Does she know about me?
0:06:42 > 0:06:45There's nothing to know.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47Where have you been all this time?
0:06:47 > 0:06:50I grew up the other side of Manchester.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52It was children's homes, mainly.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55I did get fostered, but it wasn't right.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59That must have been difficult.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01I'll be honest. I wasn't much good.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03I was hardly a straight A student.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06I got shunted round, didn't pick my friends well, and, er...
0:07:06 > 0:07:09Well, I've done some time.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11Nothing serious. Just petty stuff.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14- That's it.- No, no. Wait. Listen.
0:07:14 > 0:07:15That's how I got here.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18I wanted a fresh start and I figured I had to go back to go forward.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20I had counselling.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22While you were in prison?
0:07:22 > 0:07:25It's something you go through if you want to start looking
0:07:25 > 0:07:28for your real parents, through social services.
0:07:28 > 0:07:29To prepare you.
0:07:30 > 0:07:31Where's my dad?
0:07:31 > 0:07:34I don't know because I'm not your mother.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36You are Edwina Jane Herriot,
0:07:36 > 0:07:38born Edwina Bassett?
0:07:38 > 0:07:39All the records match.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42I am Gavin Nathan Herriot, born in the Queen Elizabeth hospital,
0:07:42 > 0:07:453rd of January, 1972.
0:07:46 > 0:07:47Ed?
0:07:49 > 0:07:50I think we should call Gabby.
0:07:50 > 0:07:51No, don't!
0:07:51 > 0:07:52You know I'm not lying.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56I've got my birth certificate.
0:08:01 > 0:08:02Can you see the resemblance?
0:08:02 > 0:08:04Where did you get this?
0:08:04 > 0:08:06It's mine. I'm your twin.
0:08:07 > 0:08:08Did she never tell you?
0:08:10 > 0:08:12Could you not cope with both of us?
0:08:12 > 0:08:14- Did you have to choose? - That's enough.
0:08:14 > 0:08:15It certainly is.
0:08:15 > 0:08:16Mum?
0:08:16 > 0:08:19He's an impostor. It's a fake.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22- This is a con.- I don't know what else I can say to prove I'm right.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24- I'll get my birth certificate. - What for?
0:08:24 > 0:08:26I want to do a comparison. If they were issued on the same day...
0:08:26 > 0:08:28How can I be more plain?
0:08:28 > 0:08:31You are not a twin. He is not your brother.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34- Now would you please just... - Let's do it. I've nothing to hide.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41I don't know where it is.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44Probably in the sideboard with all the other papers.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52No, it won't talk to the printer.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55Maybe the printer should try bringing in some cupcakes.
0:08:55 > 0:08:56Big help, you are.
0:08:58 > 0:08:59It could be the cables.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03Karen, look at this.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06- KAREN GASPS - Oh, that's lovely.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09Perfect temperature in the Caribbean this time of year.
0:09:09 > 0:09:10Are you tempted?
0:09:10 > 0:09:14Well, I've got flu vaccinations and norovirus on one hand,
0:09:14 > 0:09:15and on the other dancing in the surf.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17Winter sunshine.
0:09:17 > 0:09:18- Sex on the beach.- Oh.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21Followed by a burning sensation not caused by sunburn.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23- Al!- It's a cocktail.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25Yeah, I know it's a cocktail.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28And it's a week of doing absolutely nothing.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30I thought you liked being all active.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33No, it's not what I want from a holiday. Well, not this one, anyway.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35Ooh. So, have you decided?
0:09:35 > 0:09:37The more I think about it, yeah.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39Then think about this.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41You're still going to have to come back.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43It's all going to be waiting for you.
0:09:43 > 0:09:48All the vomiting patients and rubbish printers that don't print.

0:09:55 > 0:09:57I'm the oldest.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59I've got a little sister.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02- You've got nothing, not here! - Edwina.
0:10:02 > 0:10:03It's a copy.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06Of course it is. The parents keep the original.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08Look, I just want to know my family.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10Then go and look for them. I'm not your mother.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12Don't let him wind you up.

0:10:16 > 0:10:19There is no ifs, no buts, nothing.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21I just know he is.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23- How?- Gavin's dead!
0:10:26 > 0:10:28That's how I know.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31My Gavin died.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35You should have checked the death certificates
0:10:35 > 0:10:37when you were planning all this.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39What happened, Ed?
0:10:39 > 0:10:40Mum?
0:10:41 > 0:10:45All you need to know is he's nothing to do with us.
0:10:47 > 0:10:48You'd better leave.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54No. Just go.
0:10:57 > 0:10:58Is that really what you want?

0:11:16 > 0:11:19I've been thinking about your idea and, yeah.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28It was all too painful.
0:11:29 > 0:11:30All these years.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34Why me?
0:11:34 > 0:11:37Why would someone go digging round in my affairs like that?

0:11:42 > 0:11:44Because what?
0:11:44 > 0:11:47Nothing. I'm overthinking things.
0:11:47 > 0:11:52OK. For sanity's sake, what else is there to find?
0:11:52 > 0:11:53I'd sooner hear it from you.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57You know, there are some similarities, but...
0:11:57 > 0:11:58- Oh, I don't know.- What?
0:12:00 > 0:12:01I'm not an expert.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03Do we have to go on with this?
0:12:03 > 0:12:04Mum, it's a big deal.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08I had a brother and you never said.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12When did he die?
0:12:12 > 0:12:15A couple of weeks old. He was premature.
0:12:15 > 0:12:16Prem?
0:12:16 > 0:12:18That's why I never spoke of it.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20So, I was premature?
0:12:20 > 0:12:23But you always said how big I was?
0:12:23 > 0:12:25Yeah, you told me that, as well.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27No, you're mistaken.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29No, I'm not.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32Your little tub of love. That's what you always called me.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34All you need to know
0:12:34 > 0:12:38is you're my daughter, always have been.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40Always will be.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43Yeah, but Mum, if I wasn't premature, why was Gavin?
0:12:45 > 0:12:46Mum?
0:12:48 > 0:12:50ED SCREAMS
0:12:52 > 0:12:54I paid for you, all right?
0:12:55 > 0:12:58You don't have a twin brother.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01I bought you from a drug addict.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17"I have endeavoured in this Ghostly little book,
0:13:17 > 0:13:20"to raise the Ghost of an Idea,
0:13:20 > 0:13:22"which shall not put my readers out of humour with themselves,
0:13:22 > 0:13:26"with each other, with the season,
0:13:26 > 0:13:28"or with me."
0:13:46 > 0:13:48I thought you'd given that up.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50I thought you were my mother.
0:13:50 > 0:13:51Don't.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53Have you any idea what you've told me?
0:13:55 > 0:13:57Who was she?
0:13:57 > 0:13:58It was a long time ago.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00It's hardly something you'd forget.
0:14:00 > 0:14:01Surely you must have known her, Ed?
0:14:01 > 0:14:04I mean, it wasn't somebody off the street, was it?
0:14:07 > 0:14:08I helped deliver you.
0:14:10 > 0:14:15She was always missing appointments, missing days, more like.
0:14:15 > 0:14:16Didn't she want me?
0:14:16 > 0:14:18She wanted to feed her habit more.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22If you'd seen the squalor!
0:14:22 > 0:14:24Weren't social services involved?
0:14:24 > 0:14:26There was a caseworker, I think.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29Overworked, not enough time for everyone.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31Why did you do it?
0:14:31 > 0:14:33I lost Gavin.
0:14:33 > 0:14:34And your husband.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38You told me you were widowed carrying?
0:14:38 > 0:14:40A car accident.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42That part was true, then.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45I was facing two deaths. Alone.
0:14:45 > 0:14:49So you got me to fill the gap?
0:14:49 > 0:14:52Nothing so calculating or harsh.
0:14:52 > 0:14:56I saw a chance of making something good to come from out of it all.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59Your mother didn't give that for you.
0:14:59 > 0:15:03You think it was mad, what I did? Perhaps.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06What do you know about grief?
0:15:07 > 0:15:13I fought mine while I worked damn hard at building a life for us.
0:15:23 > 0:15:28Extreme trekking, cycling, paragliding, bungee jumping...
0:15:28 > 0:15:29No.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31Why not?
0:15:31 > 0:15:33I thought you'd like to be adventurous.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35Yeah, and sometimes you just want to chill.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38I'm going to be coming back to one of the busiest times at work, so...
0:15:38 > 0:15:39So will I.
0:15:39 > 0:15:43So don't you want to be ready for it? Prepared? You know, recharged?
0:15:43 > 0:15:46Babe, your idea of a good time could end up with one of us in hospital,
0:15:46 > 0:15:48or worse, a morgue.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50What about lying on a beach all day?
0:15:50 > 0:15:53Come on, the only difference between that and actually being dead
0:15:53 > 0:15:55is the body bag, isn't it?
0:15:56 > 0:15:58I like to make the most of it when I'm away.
0:15:58 > 0:15:59Yeah, me, too.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02Which is why I like to do things 100mph.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05Right.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09We obviously want different things, then.
0:16:11 > 0:16:12What are we, then?
0:16:12 > 0:16:13What are we?
0:16:17 > 0:16:20Maybe it means we're just not suited.
0:16:20 > 0:16:21What?
0:16:21 > 0:16:24Well, neither of us wants to compromise.
0:16:25 > 0:16:26So that's it?
0:16:26 > 0:16:29If we can't agree on what to do when we're together, what's the point?
0:16:33 > 0:16:34Right.
0:16:38 > 0:16:39Ayesha!
0:16:41 > 0:16:43Why should I have had to live my life alone?
0:16:45 > 0:16:47Why should I have just had to watch the stupid,
0:16:47 > 0:16:52selfish behaviour of others and not be a mother myself?
0:16:52 > 0:16:56It can't have been easy, being with all those babies at work.
0:16:56 > 0:17:00You stood there and called him an impostor, but that's what I am.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03You had a perfect childhood.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05You wanted for nothing.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07- Except the truth.- Gabs.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09Biology does not always make the best mum.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12If I'd left you with your real mother,
0:17:12 > 0:17:15you would have ended up in care when she overdosed.
0:17:15 > 0:17:18And you gave her cash, knowing what she'd spend it on.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24I didn't see it that way.
0:17:24 > 0:17:26She didn't matter.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28- Oh, Ed, that's... - That's what, Ruhma?
0:17:28 > 0:17:31How many times have we had to deal with care workers, police,
0:17:31 > 0:17:33court orders? You've seen it, too.
0:17:33 > 0:17:37No money changed hands in any case I got caught up in!
0:17:42 > 0:17:44How much was I worth?
0:17:47 > 0:17:49Much more than I gave for you.
0:17:55 > 0:17:57Come on, it's getting cold. Let's go inside.
0:18:03 > 0:18:07I gave you a mother's love you never would have seen.
0:18:09 > 0:18:10And that's all there is to it.
0:18:26 > 0:18:30Gabs, you're not going to solve this in a day, OK?
0:18:30 > 0:18:32You both just need some time.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45That was quick!
0:18:45 > 0:18:46Change of plan.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49It must have been bad if you didn't even get a free lunch out of him.
0:18:49 > 0:18:53What is it with men not being able to admit that they're wrong?
0:18:53 > 0:18:55Well, the same as women who can't admit they're wrong.
0:18:55 > 0:18:56It's pig-headedness.
0:18:56 > 0:19:00- What happened?- Just him. Trying to lay down the law about this holiday.
0:19:00 > 0:19:02Everything he wanted, end of.
0:19:02 > 0:19:03Which was?
0:19:03 > 0:19:05The opposite of me, basically.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08He wanted to be all Arnold Schwarzenegger.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11Well, different people have different ways of relaxing.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14Yeah, well, he can do what he wants now cos he's going on his own.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16Aww.
0:19:16 > 0:19:17You dodged a bullet there.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23Look, I know that the lowly man isn't supposed to have an opinion
0:19:23 > 0:19:26- but I've got one. Would you like to hear it?- No.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29- Romantic getaways are a myth.- What?
0:19:29 > 0:19:32It's not a getaway. It's a stuck-together away.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34Spending that amount of time with one person,
0:19:34 > 0:19:36you are guaranteed to have a fight.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38No, you're not. Don't listen to him.
0:19:38 > 0:19:40You are going to be hung-over.
0:19:40 > 0:19:41You're probably about to receive
0:19:41 > 0:19:43the most horrific dose of Montezuma's revenge.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46So when you're fighting, it's going to be through a closed bathroom door
0:19:46 > 0:19:49as you go through the squitty-gritty of your failed relationship.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52Is there any party you haven't pooped on lately?
0:19:52 > 0:19:54Ayesha, go by yourself.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56Lie by the pool yourself.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58Avoid the seafood platters,
0:19:58 > 0:20:00but just have a wonderful time.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03Get completely wasted on sex on the beaches,
0:20:03 > 0:20:05which are going to be brought to you by some charming waiter
0:20:05 > 0:20:08who's probably going to want to have sex on the beach with you.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10Oh, my...
0:20:10 > 0:20:14While you're doing it, you can send PC Plod a little postcard saying,
0:20:14 > 0:20:18"I am so delighted that you are not here. #sorrynotsorry."
0:20:19 > 0:20:22You'll come back a completely changed woman.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24Like I say, it's just an opinion.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43Still here?
0:20:45 > 0:20:47I know you think I haven't got a leg to stand on.
0:20:47 > 0:20:48Who are you, really?
0:20:48 > 0:20:51The tip of the iceberg, far as your friend's concerned.
0:20:51 > 0:20:52I don't know how much she's admitted to.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55We know that Gabby's not her real daughter. She told us.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58- Did she now?- Yeah, so you've got nothing to make on that bombshell.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00I guarantee she's not told you the truth
0:21:00 > 0:21:02and I'm not going anywhere until she speaks to me alone.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04Right. Well, let's find out, shall we?
0:21:04 > 0:21:07Trust me. Whatever she's said, she'll want to talk to me eventually.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09Oh, I'm not calling her.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11I don't care what you have to say, and neither will anyone else.
0:21:11 > 0:21:12I seriously doubt that,
0:21:12 > 0:21:15but if Gabby wants to know the name of her real mother...
0:21:15 > 0:21:16Police, please.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18- If you're a friend, you'll protect her.- I will, from you.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27I've had the best idea.
0:21:28 > 0:21:32I know how we give Joe the recognition he deserves.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34We put on our own Christmas play.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36For charity, or something. Everyone will help.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39It'll be a brilliant success, just like the panto we did.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42- Hold on...- We do A Christmas Carol.
0:21:42 > 0:21:43You're not being serious.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46And Joe will steal the whole show as Tiny Tim.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49I can just see him with his little crutch when he says,
0:21:49 > 0:21:50"God bless us, everyone."
0:21:50 > 0:21:52- Oh, Daniel.- Oh, boy.
0:21:52 > 0:21:53The audience will just eat him up.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56Yeah, but a play, sweetheart?
0:21:56 > 0:21:59It needs so much time and commitment.
0:21:59 > 0:22:00Not if we delegate to the right people.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03Now, what shall I do? Produce? Direct?
0:22:03 > 0:22:04And what about you?
0:22:06 > 0:22:09- You called the police?- Good.
0:22:09 > 0:22:10You had no right.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12Ed, he was hinting at blackmailing.
0:22:12 > 0:22:13Over what?
0:22:13 > 0:22:15You've just made things worse with your interfering.
0:22:15 > 0:22:17What's got into you?
0:22:17 > 0:22:18We should let the police deal with him.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21But he'll tell them everything and then I'll...
0:22:21 > 0:22:25You'll what? Have to let everyone know how you got me?
0:22:25 > 0:22:27What'll they do, put me in care?
0:22:27 > 0:22:30He reckoned he knew something about your real mum, Gab.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32What did he say? What do you know?
0:22:32 > 0:22:35Nothing. I shut him down, Ed. He's a liar.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37What would he know that's so bad?
0:22:37 > 0:22:38I just wanted him gone.
0:22:40 > 0:22:42I want you to go, too.
0:22:42 > 0:22:43Mum!
0:22:43 > 0:22:45You've helped enough for one day.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48This is a family matter.
0:22:48 > 0:22:49Please, leave.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55PHONE RINGS
0:22:57 > 0:22:59Hi.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01Hi. So, yeah...
0:23:02 > 0:23:03..that all got a bit...
0:23:03 > 0:23:04It did, didn't it?
0:23:04 > 0:23:08That's not the kind of couple I want us to be.
0:23:08 > 0:23:09None of us came out of it good.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11I've been thinking.
0:23:11 > 0:23:12Me, too.
0:23:12 > 0:23:13Meet you halfway?
0:23:14 > 0:23:16OK.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19I've seen this holiday. Sailing round the Greek islands.
0:23:19 > 0:23:23I could swim from beach to beach, you can watch from the deck.
0:23:23 > 0:23:24In between cocktails?
0:23:24 > 0:23:25And sunbathing.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27And we won't be joined at the hip?
0:23:29 > 0:23:31Not until the evening, anyway.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33Love that idea best.
0:23:33 > 0:23:34Me, too.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36- I love...- Eh?
0:23:36 > 0:23:38Did you just say you love me?
0:23:38 > 0:23:43What? No. No, I was saying I love the way you sorted all this.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45Pretty sure you said you love me.
0:23:45 > 0:23:48No, of course I didn't. It's way too early for all that.
0:23:48 > 0:23:49That's a shame.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52Cos I love you, too.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58Look, I've got to go. I'll catch you later.
0:24:00 > 0:24:01Ayesha.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03And?
0:24:04 > 0:24:05She said it first.
0:24:07 > 0:24:10DOORBELL RINGS
0:24:16 > 0:24:19Billy Harrow, as I live and breathe.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21We thought we'd seen the last of you.
0:24:21 > 0:24:22DI Addison.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24Long time.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27Not long enough. I'm looking for someone calling himself Gavin.
0:24:27 > 0:24:29Mate of yours, by any chance?
0:24:29 > 0:24:31Yeah, you've just missed him.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34Funny, you fit the description.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37Seems he's been trying to scare some old biddy out of her pension,
0:24:37 > 0:24:39claiming to be her dead son.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41Seems right up your street, Billy.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44Didn't I nick you for something just like that?
0:24:48 > 0:24:50Jackpot!
0:24:50 > 0:24:51What now?
0:24:51 > 0:24:53I have been looking up past productions
0:24:53 > 0:24:56to see how they've done it on the stage and I found this.
0:24:56 > 0:25:00It's an adaptation, especially suited to a young audience.
0:25:00 > 0:25:01Great.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04It's not perfect. There aren't enough scenes for Tiny Tim yet,
0:25:04 > 0:25:07but he does have to sing a song, not too difficult.
0:25:07 > 0:25:09Don't you think that's putting a little bit too much pressure on him?
0:25:09 > 0:25:11I've already got that covered.
0:25:11 > 0:25:12I'm going to play Mrs Cratchit.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15That way I can on stage with him at all times.
0:25:15 > 0:25:16Moral support.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18- You?- Yeah, why not?
0:25:18 > 0:25:19No, no, no, I can see it.
0:25:19 > 0:25:22Zara Carmichael, starring in a Zara Carmichael production
0:25:22 > 0:25:23of Mrs Cratchit, the Musical.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25It's not going to be like that.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27What? So someone else might actually get a look-in?
0:25:27 > 0:25:29I've already got you down for Marley's ghost, for a start.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32- What?- Can't you see it? It's going to be spectacular.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35We're going to be stars.
0:25:35 > 0:25:36Hold on. I thought you just said...
0:25:36 > 0:25:38It's our chance to shine.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45Can get the scumbag moment out of the way,
0:25:45 > 0:25:47since we both know that's what you're thinking.
0:25:47 > 0:25:48I'm a changed man.
0:25:49 > 0:25:53You've got form and you know better not to waste my time.
0:25:53 > 0:25:54I've got a story for you.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57Tell me it's something more than you kicking a hornet's nest
0:25:57 > 0:25:58hoping for gold to drop out.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01Last time I was away, I shared a room with a forger.
0:26:01 > 0:26:05Proper old school craftsman. Passports, driving licences.
0:26:05 > 0:26:07Before it went all hi tech.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09What's this to do with anything?
0:26:09 > 0:26:11He told me about this job, years ago.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13He never forgot cos it was unusual.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15An inoffensive little woman
0:26:15 > 0:26:17came to him wanting a birth certificate.
0:26:17 > 0:26:19And?
0:26:19 > 0:26:21Very specific on details, names, dates.
0:26:22 > 0:26:25So I went looking for her and her daughter.
0:26:27 > 0:26:28What do you think I found?
0:26:28 > 0:26:30Cut to the chase.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33Turns out, I reckon I've been doing your homework for you.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37There's a bigger crime here.
0:26:37 > 0:26:39Way bigger than you think.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44You need to take a look in your records
0:26:44 > 0:26:46for someone called Carlie Nichols.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49But you'll have to go well back.
0:26:49 > 0:26:5144 years.
0:26:51 > 0:26:52And it's a shocker.
0:26:54 > 0:26:55Worst thing a mother could ever do.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00There you go. All settled.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04You're a good girl, Carlie.
0:27:04 > 0:27:08How many times? I'm Sharon.
0:27:08 > 0:27:10Carlie's long gone.
0:27:22 > 0:27:27Would you think that he is too young to be introduced to Dickens?
0:27:33 > 0:27:36For two weeks every year, your prayers provide me with a beach,
0:27:36 > 0:27:39- golf course access, all in sunny Marbella!- OK.
