0:00:45 > 0:00:47Alistair?

0:00:47 > 0:00:49Yes?

0:00:49 > 0:00:51What have you done?

0:00:51 > 0:00:53I bought this filter online,

0:00:53 > 0:00:56it's supposed to increase engine efficiency by like 5,000%.

0:00:56 > 0:00:59But the instructions are all in Mandarin.

0:00:59 > 0:01:03So, sorry to waste your time, but, er, no road trip for us today.

0:01:03 > 0:01:05I thought we could just hang out here instead.

0:01:05 > 0:01:08You said they're naming something for your dad, you can't not go.

0:01:08 > 0:01:10- Well, tell that to the car. - Well, take mine.

0:01:10 > 0:01:13200 quid, you said. Plus, you can pay for my petrol.

0:01:13 > 0:01:15It's going to take all day.

0:01:15 > 0:01:17Yeah, well, I've seen these boots in the Bullring

0:01:17 > 0:01:19and they are worth giving up my day off for.

0:01:19 > 0:01:20All right.

0:01:20 > 0:01:23And you'll cast your nurse's eye over Mother,

0:01:23 > 0:01:24make sure she's coping all right.

0:01:24 > 0:01:26I'm going to give you a clue, she's not.

0:01:26 > 0:01:29So talk some sense into her. But be subtle, as well.

0:01:29 > 0:01:31What does talk sense mean?

0:01:31 > 0:01:35You know, she doesn't have to live in that big old house all alone,

0:01:35 > 0:01:36there are other options.

0:01:38 > 0:01:40Hows-about we make it 300 quid?

0:01:56 > 0:02:00GENTLE RADIO MUSIC Always rains in the countryside.

0:02:01 > 0:02:03Your dad must have been pretty important

0:02:03 > 0:02:05if they're naming something after him.

0:02:05 > 0:02:07It's a bench in a graveyard.

0:02:07 > 0:02:09I'd like something named after me.

0:02:09 > 0:02:11Bring some honour to the family name.

0:02:11 > 0:02:15My mother says I have to make a speech at the naming ceremony.

0:02:15 > 0:02:18I should ideally say something nice, yeah?

0:02:18 > 0:02:20Yeah.

0:02:22 > 0:02:27My dad ran my cub scout pack.

0:02:27 > 0:02:29You know, I grew up in the middle of nowhere.

0:02:29 > 0:02:34There's no kids my own age, so he sets a pack up for me.

0:02:34 > 0:02:36Just me and him.

0:02:36 > 0:02:38I got every badge but one.

0:02:40 > 0:02:43- That's nice enough, isn't it? - Yeah, talk about that.

0:02:43 > 0:02:44I can't.

0:02:44 > 0:02:46The, er, cub scouts kicked me out.

0:02:46 > 0:02:49It's a subject Mother refuses to revisit.

0:02:49 > 0:02:52What did you do to make them kick you out?

0:02:52 > 0:02:54Mm. I don't recall.

0:02:54 > 0:02:56Right. Are you sure you don't want a wee break?

0:02:56 > 0:02:58These country lanes are slow going.

0:02:58 > 0:03:01I'm not going in the bushes, you hillbilly. I'll wait.

0:03:03 > 0:03:06The Archbishop came to our church to hear you sing,

0:03:06 > 0:03:10not to be lectured on African tree frogs and Charles Darwin.

0:03:10 > 0:03:14Not to see a priceless tapestry get a bloody great hole burnt in it.

0:03:14 > 0:03:15Why?

0:03:17 > 0:03:18Answer me, why?

0:03:20 > 0:03:23Mother doesn't know I smoke, so don't tell her that either.

0:03:23 > 0:03:25Addiction is a serious thing.

0:03:25 > 0:03:26Would you like me to give you a leaflet?

0:03:26 > 0:03:28Pull over here, just here.

0:03:29 > 0:03:32OK, before we go in, some words of warning...

0:03:32 > 0:03:34Mother is so religious.

0:03:34 > 0:03:36She says grace before a cup of tea.

0:03:36 > 0:03:38I mean, they're all Christians.

0:03:38 > 0:03:40Just nod and avoid eye contact,

0:03:40 > 0:03:43or they'll be offering to baptise you or something.

0:03:43 > 0:03:45Ayesha, mate...

0:03:45 > 0:03:50You're probably going to be the only person of, you know...

0:03:50 > 0:03:52What? The only brown girl in the village?

0:03:52 > 0:03:54Safe. Bring it on.

0:03:54 > 0:03:57Right, the safe word will be "Dr Carmichael needs us back".

0:03:57 > 0:04:00If I say that, it's code red and you take to your heels.

0:04:00 > 0:04:02Why are you so nervous? Stop being weird.

0:04:02 > 0:04:04- What's the safe word? - "Dr Carmichael needs us back"!

0:04:06 > 0:04:09I've always had a very keen sense of when I'm not liked.

0:04:10 > 0:04:13GENTLE PIANO MUSIC This place is where I learnt it.

0:04:16 > 0:04:19Have you brought someone with you?

0:04:19 > 0:04:20Hello, Mrs Haskey. I'm Ayesha.

0:04:20 > 0:04:22I had to pop to the little girl's room.

0:04:22 > 0:04:24The journey was further than I expected.

0:04:24 > 0:04:26You've got such a lovely home.

0:04:26 > 0:04:28Mother, Ayesha. Ayesha, Mother.

0:04:28 > 0:04:30Hello. Thank you.

0:04:30 > 0:04:31Welcome.

0:04:35 > 0:04:38Just a friend. Eh, dear?

0:04:38 > 0:04:39Shall we have a cup of tea?

0:04:39 > 0:04:41We're colleagues, actually, Mother.

0:04:41 > 0:04:44I'm having a spot of car trouble and Ayesha very kindly gave me a lift.

0:04:44 > 0:04:47You've been smoking, you silly goose.

0:04:47 > 0:04:50Stop it before it gets to be a habit.

0:04:50 > 0:04:53His father struggled for years, trying to give up smoking his pipe.

0:04:53 > 0:04:55My grandfather had one. Nasty habit.

0:04:55 > 0:04:58See? Pretty girls don't like smokers.

0:04:58 > 0:05:00Have you been taking your colchicine, Mother?

0:05:00 > 0:05:02I could write you another prescription if you like.

0:05:02 > 0:05:05He's showing off now, going all professional on me,

0:05:05 > 0:05:07throwing out all these big words.

0:05:07 > 0:05:09I don't want you to be in pain, do I?

0:05:09 > 0:05:10Shall I pour the tea?

0:05:10 > 0:05:13Thank you, Ayesha. It's a busy day. Any help much appreciated.

0:05:13 > 0:05:16All right. Can I help?

0:05:16 > 0:05:18Yes. Can you have a look at your father's computer?

0:05:18 > 0:05:20It's started making beeping noises.

0:05:20 > 0:05:21I don't know what to do with the blooming thing.

0:05:21 > 0:05:23Al's the man who knows how to fix things.

0:05:23 > 0:05:25- Maybe not cars. - AL SIGHS

0:05:30 > 0:05:32"Get the boy to fix..."

0:05:49 > 0:05:53'Alistair, these things won't send. Why would this be?'

0:05:53 > 0:05:55'Your mother is wondering

0:05:55 > 0:05:57'if you'd like to come and meet the new vicar.'

0:05:57 > 0:05:59'Our cruise gets back on the 15th.'

0:05:59 > 0:06:00'I'm pressing send and nothing happens.'

0:06:00 > 0:06:03'The Royal Mail was quicker than this e-mail business.'

0:06:07 > 0:06:10Alistair! It's Halley's Comet! You're missing it!

0:06:10 > 0:06:12It's much clearer in real life.

0:06:12 > 0:06:14PHONE BEEPS

0:06:21 > 0:06:23I don't want to get it everywhere.

0:06:23 > 0:06:25Oh, no, no, the more air the better.

0:06:25 > 0:06:27It's worth the effort to get it right.

0:06:27 > 0:06:29I thought I might go for a bit of a wander.

0:06:29 > 0:06:32Do you want some money for the pub?

0:06:32 > 0:06:33I wasn't necessarily going to go to the pub.

0:06:33 > 0:06:36He's going to the pub.

0:06:36 > 0:06:38- SHE SIGHS - The service starts at five.

0:06:38 > 0:06:40We will start without you if you're late.

0:06:40 > 0:06:42Have you spoken to her yet?

0:06:42 > 0:06:44Use the standard questions.

0:06:44 > 0:06:46The sooner you do, the sooner we can get to go home.

0:06:46 > 0:06:48When do we get to rub it all in?

0:06:48 > 0:06:54Sweetheart, will you send a text thing to the vicar for me?

0:06:59 > 0:07:02Ooh, I always enjoy a bit of froth.

0:07:02 > 0:07:05You're definitely a Haskey.

0:07:06 > 0:07:08- Am I?- Mm-hm. That.

0:07:08 > 0:07:09Your dad would do that.

0:07:09 > 0:07:12And hands in pockets.

0:07:12 > 0:07:14I'm Frances Harrison.

0:07:14 > 0:07:17I'm a friend of your mum and dad's, they will have mentioned me.

0:07:17 > 0:07:19Oh. Thank you.

0:07:19 > 0:07:20- What for?- Eh?

0:07:20 > 0:07:22What are you thanking me for?

0:07:22 > 0:07:23I don't know.

0:07:23 > 0:07:26Um, thank you for being their friend, I suppose.

0:07:27 > 0:07:30- Sorry, I'm Al. What was your name again?- Frances.

0:07:32 > 0:07:34- Frances.- Frances.- Yeah.- Got it.

0:07:34 > 0:07:37I'll give Mary-Jane a hand to change the barrel later.

0:07:37 > 0:07:39- Oh. You work here?- No.

0:07:39 > 0:07:41Oh.

0:07:44 > 0:07:46So you were, er...

0:07:46 > 0:07:47You were friends?

0:07:47 > 0:07:50Mm, from church. Well, work and...

0:07:50 > 0:07:53We're trying to keep his quiz nights going.

0:07:53 > 0:07:55Yeah, I didn't know he did that.

0:07:55 > 0:07:57Your dad's proven to be irreplaceable.

0:07:57 > 0:08:01Ooh, have you seen the bench yet? We are really pleased with it.

0:08:05 > 0:08:07Work brought me here mostly.

0:08:07 > 0:08:10And I'm glad it did.

0:08:10 > 0:08:11It feels like home.

0:08:11 > 0:08:14Took me years to escape this place.

0:08:14 > 0:08:15After you.

0:08:15 > 0:08:17Right, um...

0:08:17 > 0:08:21Full disclosure. I was banned from this church.

0:08:21 > 0:08:24If I was to come in, the vicar might release his hounds.

0:08:24 > 0:08:26Everyone's welcome at St Dominic's.

0:08:26 > 0:08:28Especially old choirboys.

0:08:30 > 0:08:32- GATE CREAKS - Come on.

0:08:36 > 0:08:37That is good.

0:08:37 > 0:08:39It's best straight out of the oven.

0:08:40 > 0:08:43So how do you know the recipe?

0:08:43 > 0:08:45It's my grandmother's.

0:08:45 > 0:08:47Is it written down, or do you know it from memory?

0:08:47 > 0:08:49Oh, it's a simple sponge, sweetheart.

0:08:50 > 0:08:54When you're making things for other people,

0:08:54 > 0:08:57do you sometimes forget to make sure you've eaten yourself?

0:08:57 > 0:08:59No.

0:09:00 > 0:09:03Never? I do. Sometimes.

0:09:04 > 0:09:07The last nurse who visited me asked me that.

0:09:07 > 0:09:11And she was silly enough to think I couldn't look after myself.

0:09:11 > 0:09:14I hope you don't think that, dear.

0:09:14 > 0:09:17Or did Alistair put you up to this?

0:09:19 > 0:09:22The Henry Haskey Memorial Bench.

0:09:22 > 0:09:23- What do you think?- Mm.

0:09:25 > 0:09:27Oh, it's more comfortable than it looks.

0:09:27 > 0:09:30This was your dad's spot.

0:09:30 > 0:09:33He used to stand here after every service, greeting people.

0:09:33 > 0:09:36Isn't that the vicar's job?

0:09:36 > 0:09:38Oh, I'm sure the vicar didn't mind.

0:09:39 > 0:09:41The trees have got bigger.

0:09:41 > 0:09:43Yeah, well, a tree will tend to grow.

0:09:43 > 0:09:46Sunshine, rain, time.

0:09:46 > 0:09:47- Photosynthesis.- Oh, my goodness.

0:09:47 > 0:09:49This way.

0:09:52 > 0:09:55He told me about the cub group. Just the two of them.

0:09:55 > 0:10:00Henry enjoyed that so much, their adventures in the woods.

0:10:00 > 0:10:03But then Alistair got all these new ideas.

0:10:03 > 0:10:05There were lots of protests.

0:10:05 > 0:10:09Proclamations nailed to the church door.

0:10:09 > 0:10:13He once dressed up as Satan when the parson came to Christmas Dinner.

0:10:13 > 0:10:17He played heavy metal through the fete sound system.

0:10:17 > 0:10:20"Bring Your Daughter to the Slaughter."

0:10:20 > 0:10:22Oh, he sounds like he was trouble.

0:10:22 > 0:10:27No-one was really shocked, they just got rather bored with him.

0:10:29 > 0:10:31Our friends started to tense up around us.

0:10:31 > 0:10:35Henry and I had to work really hard to repair our reputation,

0:10:35 > 0:10:36and we still have that.

0:10:37 > 0:10:39Well...

0:10:39 > 0:10:41Well, of course, now it's just me and my memories.

0:10:41 > 0:10:44And new friends.

0:10:47 > 0:10:50Is he happy, dear?

0:10:50 > 0:10:51Al?

0:10:51 > 0:10:53Is Al happy?

0:10:54 > 0:10:56Um...

0:10:56 > 0:10:58He has things that make him happy.

0:11:00 > 0:11:01I think.

0:11:01 > 0:11:02Good, good.

0:11:04 > 0:11:07He doesn't look after himself, living on his own.

0:11:08 > 0:11:11You will keep an eye on him, won't you, dear?

0:11:13 > 0:11:17No, that's not happening, I'm in my 40s.

0:11:17 > 0:11:19I'm sure I carved something.

0:11:19 > 0:11:21- Can you see?- Give me a bunk.

0:11:21 > 0:11:24- Hey?- Eyes front, thank you.

0:11:25 > 0:11:28- Right. Ooh. Two, three... - AL STRAINS

0:11:28 > 0:11:30Careful of my glasses.

0:11:30 > 0:11:32Careful where you put your hand.

0:11:32 > 0:11:34- Hold my hand, then. - Ooh! That's not my hand.

0:11:34 > 0:11:36Sorry. Can you see anything?

0:11:36 > 0:11:38- Yep... - SHE STRAINS

0:11:40 > 0:11:42Ooh. Down, please.

0:11:42 > 0:11:44OK. Oh...

0:11:44 > 0:11:45THEY STRAIN

0:11:45 > 0:11:47Whoo!

0:11:50 > 0:11:51Hi.

0:11:52 > 0:11:54I found treasure.

0:11:54 > 0:11:55Where?

0:11:57 > 0:11:59Ooh. A pipe.

0:11:59 > 0:12:01That...

0:12:01 > 0:12:03- That's Henry's.- Oh.

0:12:06 > 0:12:08"To the BBC...

0:12:08 > 0:12:11"Leave Doctor Who alone, or there will be ramifications.

0:12:11 > 0:12:12"You have been warned".

0:12:12 > 0:12:15OK, in 1985 they tried to cancel Doctor Who.

0:12:15 > 0:12:18I stand by that letter. SHE LAUGHS

0:12:18 > 0:12:19A bus ticket.

0:12:19 > 0:12:21Oh.

0:12:21 > 0:12:23A badge for astronomy.

0:12:23 > 0:12:25And one telescope.

0:12:25 > 0:12:27Potentially of pirate origin.

0:12:31 > 0:12:32I have to ask you something.

0:12:32 > 0:12:34There are stories.

0:12:34 > 0:12:38Well, I mean, I say "stories", I mean infamy.

0:12:38 > 0:12:42This church used to be in possession of a tapestry.

0:12:42 > 0:12:44The Tapestry of St Dominic?

0:12:44 > 0:12:46The Patron Saint of Astronomers.

0:12:46 > 0:12:48- That's the fella.- What of it?

0:12:48 > 0:12:50Well, it was priceless, they say.

0:12:50 > 0:12:54And now, with inflation, even more priceless. And, um...

0:12:54 > 0:12:58A cheeky choirboy, in an act of vandalism, burnt it down.

0:12:58 > 0:13:00I did not burn that tapestry.

0:13:00 > 0:13:02Although I've taken plenty of blame for it.

0:13:02 > 0:13:06Oh, objection, m'lud. Did you or did you not cause that fire?

0:13:06 > 0:13:07Maybe.

0:13:08 > 0:13:11My frogs certainly contributed to the confusion.

0:13:11 > 0:13:13The African dwarf frog.

0:13:13 > 0:13:15They were just local frogs.

0:13:15 > 0:13:17Took me ages to round them all up.

0:13:17 > 0:13:19I just wanted to stir debate.

0:13:19 > 0:13:21Mm.

0:13:21 > 0:13:23You're going to be speaking later on, aren't you?

0:13:23 > 0:13:26Should I have a fire extinguisher on standby, or...?

0:13:26 > 0:13:29I'm not sure it's right for me to say anything.

0:13:29 > 0:13:31We weren't close.

0:13:32 > 0:13:34It's normal to have regrets,

0:13:34 > 0:13:36that's a part of a bereavement process,

0:13:36 > 0:13:38but all of this is just, is just a bit too late.

0:13:40 > 0:13:42You know, Henry and I used to do something together.

0:13:42 > 0:13:44I've not done it since he left us.

0:13:44 > 0:13:47But you know what?

0:13:47 > 0:13:48It's time.

0:13:48 > 0:13:50Will you do it with me?

0:13:55 > 0:13:57It's all about timing.

0:13:57 > 0:14:01Swing and invite the ball to be kind.

0:14:04 > 0:14:05Oh...

0:14:06 > 0:14:08HE SIGHS

0:14:15 > 0:14:18I invite the ball to be...

0:14:18 > 0:14:20- Ooh!- Have that, you bugger!

0:14:20 > 0:14:22- SHE LAUGHS - That was unconventional!

0:14:22 > 0:14:25Um, I don't have to go and fetch it, do I?

0:14:25 > 0:14:27No, no, not in our game.

0:14:27 > 0:14:29Henry said that normal golf is impossible

0:14:29 > 0:14:32and designed to break the spirit.

0:14:32 > 0:14:34So we just do the fun part.

0:14:34 > 0:14:36Oh, I like it. Just hit it as hard as you can.

0:14:36 > 0:14:39It's very good for stress relief, you know.

0:14:39 > 0:14:42I'm all furious, about ten minute consultations.

0:14:42 > 0:14:44Away with you!

0:14:44 > 0:14:47You know, I don't know what to say about that bench.

0:14:47 > 0:14:49How about that?!

0:14:49 > 0:14:51I've got three more speeding points.

0:14:51 > 0:14:54Have them back, I've plenty, thank you!

0:14:54 > 0:14:56THEY LAUGH

0:14:58 > 0:15:00You know...

0:15:00 > 0:15:02I think my time here would've been much more pleasant

0:15:02 > 0:15:05if there were other kids to play with.

0:15:05 > 0:15:07Do you have any, er, children?

0:15:07 > 0:15:09No, no.

0:15:09 > 0:15:10Um...

0:15:10 > 0:15:13- Boyfriend, partner, husband?- No.

0:15:13 > 0:15:15Girlfriend, partner, wife?

0:15:15 > 0:15:16No significant other.

0:15:16 > 0:15:20No, I've been trying to address my work-life balance.

0:15:20 > 0:15:22- You?- Me? No.

0:15:22 > 0:15:23Nobody loves me.

0:15:25 > 0:15:27You seem very nice to me.

0:15:27 > 0:15:29If there was any justice in this cruel world,

0:15:29 > 0:15:31you would have all your heart's desires.

0:15:33 > 0:15:34MESSAGE ALERT

0:15:34 > 0:15:36- Is that you, or is that me? - Erm, it's me.

0:15:36 > 0:15:39I've, er, got to go to work. Sorry.

0:15:39 > 0:15:42- Um, I'll see you at the service later though, yeah?- Yeah.

0:15:42 > 0:15:45Look, try not to get into any trouble. Mm?

0:15:45 > 0:15:48- Thank you for the fun. - Oh, thank you.

0:15:54 > 0:15:58- I invite the ball to be kind. - Invite the ball to be kind.

0:16:09 > 0:16:13ORGAN MUSIC AND THUNDER

0:16:16 > 0:16:19Oh! Oh... I'm late.

0:16:19 > 0:16:22Today is for your father.

0:16:22 > 0:16:25Surely he deserves to see you at your best.

0:16:25 > 0:16:26I'm not a bad person, Mother.

0:16:28 > 0:16:29Well, today's the day to show it.

0:16:33 > 0:16:34Frances...

0:16:34 > 0:16:37You said you'd have a word upstairs about this weather.

0:16:37 > 0:16:40Yes, must have got stuck in the system.

0:16:40 > 0:16:43Right, ladies and gentle...

0:16:43 > 0:16:45Man. Yes, just the one.

0:16:45 > 0:16:47Shall we gather?

0:16:48 > 0:16:49What?

0:16:49 > 0:16:50She's a vicar!

0:16:52 > 0:16:54Of course she is.

0:16:57 > 0:16:59And so we give thanks

0:16:59 > 0:17:02for the shelter and the warmth of this church.

0:17:02 > 0:17:07And now, we are going to hear from Alistair.

0:17:10 > 0:17:12Thank you.

0:17:12 > 0:17:14Um...

0:17:14 > 0:17:16On behalf of my mother and I,

0:17:16 > 0:17:19want to say thank you very much to the committee for the bench.

0:17:19 > 0:17:22It's, um... It's very sturdy.

0:17:22 > 0:17:24Clearly been well...

0:17:24 > 0:17:26Carpented? Is that a word?

0:17:26 > 0:17:29I'm presuming that it's got the right varnishes on it.

0:17:29 > 0:17:32If not, then let's get that sorted.

0:17:32 > 0:17:33PHONE BEEPS

0:17:33 > 0:17:36Sorry. Phones off, everyone.

0:17:38 > 0:17:40AL STRAINS

0:17:40 > 0:17:42I don't have anything to say.

0:17:42 > 0:17:43THUNDER RUMBLES

0:17:45 > 0:17:46So instead of saying anything...

0:17:49 > 0:17:51For one time only,

0:17:51 > 0:17:56Young Chorister of the Year 1985-ish?

0:17:56 > 0:17:59Is going to come out of retirement. OK?

0:17:59 > 0:18:00Er...

0:18:02 > 0:18:05# The Lord is my Shep... #

0:18:05 > 0:18:06That's high. It's too high.

0:18:06 > 0:18:08Puberty.

0:18:08 > 0:18:09I'll try lower.

0:18:09 > 0:18:11The, the...

0:18:12 > 0:18:16# The Lord is my Shepherd

0:18:16 > 0:18:19# I shall not want

0:18:19 > 0:18:23# He maketh me to lie down

0:18:23 > 0:18:25# In green pastures

0:18:25 > 0:18:31# He le-e-eadeth me

0:18:31 > 0:18:36# Beside the still waters

0:18:38 > 0:18:44# Surely goodness and mercy

0:18:44 > 0:18:47# Will follow you

0:18:47 > 0:18:51# All the days of your life

0:18:52 > 0:18:54# And you will dwell

0:18:54 > 0:19:00# In the house of your Lo-o-ord

0:19:02 > 0:19:05# Forever

0:19:08 > 0:19:11# Forever. #

0:19:15 > 0:19:18Your dad loved The Vicar of Dibley.

0:19:18 > 0:19:20Do you think we could have been friends?

0:19:20 > 0:19:24If we'd just met as strangers, would we have been able to share a pint?

0:19:26 > 0:19:28That's never going to happen.

0:19:32 > 0:19:34I hope you're going to thank the Reverend Harrison.

0:19:34 > 0:19:37Al, there's a bungalow up there within my price range.

0:19:37 > 0:19:39I could retire and make jam all day long.

0:19:39 > 0:19:41The summer fete has a jam contest.

0:19:41 > 0:19:44I'm the judge, and I'm very open to bribes.

0:19:44 > 0:19:45Bribes of jam.

0:19:45 > 0:19:47This place can get incredibly boring.

0:19:49 > 0:19:52Those cakes aren't going to serve themselves.

0:19:52 > 0:19:54I'll help. I'd like to sample my handiwork.

0:19:58 > 0:19:59A vicar!

0:19:59 > 0:20:03Look, your mum said if I told you then you'd be all awkward with me.

0:20:03 > 0:20:06I like to decide for myself if I'm going to be all awkward, or not.

0:20:06 > 0:20:09When all's said and done, it's really just a job.

0:20:09 > 0:20:13Look, does being a doctor say everything about who you are?

0:20:13 > 0:20:15Does it, Al?

0:20:15 > 0:20:17I'm sorry. OK?

0:20:17 > 0:20:19I'm sorry for your tapestry, I'm sorry for your tree,

0:20:19 > 0:20:22and many, many other such apologies.

0:20:22 > 0:20:25Well, Christians love to forgive so consider yourself forgiven.

0:20:27 > 0:20:29It's been really nice to meet you.

0:20:29 > 0:20:31You're a lot like your dad.

0:20:31 > 0:20:33I don't think so.

0:20:33 > 0:20:36You know, if ever you wanted to talk about things...

0:20:36 > 0:20:37Was I just work for you today?

0:20:37 > 0:20:39No!

0:20:39 > 0:20:43No, I am trying to live a more 9-5 life.

0:20:43 > 0:20:47It's just that work creeps sometimes when I'm not looking.

0:20:48 > 0:20:50Doesn't that ever happen with you?

0:20:50 > 0:20:53A 9-5 life would be amazing.

0:20:54 > 0:20:57# Tumble outa bed and stumble to the kitchen

0:20:57 > 0:20:59# Pour myself a cup of ambition! #

0:21:01 > 0:21:05Would it be all right with you if I asked Mother for your phone number?

0:21:06 > 0:21:08Are you asking me out?

0:21:08 > 0:21:09- It might be useful...- Dr Haskey!

0:21:09 > 0:21:11..in case of emergencies, you know.

0:21:11 > 0:21:12What? No, I don't know...

0:21:12 > 0:21:15Can I ask Mother for your phone number?

0:21:15 > 0:21:17Well, if you want my phone number

0:21:17 > 0:21:20then you really should ask for it yourself.

0:21:20 > 0:21:23- I'm trying to! Can I have your phone number please?- No.

0:21:23 > 0:21:24Then why make me ask?!

0:21:24 > 0:21:27Because you have to earn it with good deeds.

0:21:29 > 0:21:31I just did a good deed.

0:21:31 > 0:21:33Mm. Yes. Yes, you did.

0:21:33 > 0:21:35OK, so let's see...

0:21:35 > 0:21:39The first digit of my phone number...

0:21:39 > 0:21:41..is zero.

0:21:41 > 0:21:42Every phone number begins with zero!

0:21:42 > 0:21:44- I want nice things.- Like what?

0:21:44 > 0:21:46I don't know, say something nice!

0:21:46 > 0:21:48All right, fine.

0:21:48 > 0:21:50- You ready?- Mm-hmm.

0:21:51 > 0:21:54Your company makes you wear all black and that collar

0:21:54 > 0:21:57so you can look all solemn and respectful.

0:21:59 > 0:22:00But you're so pretty

0:22:00 > 0:22:03you make it look like something from Paris Fashion Week.

0:22:05 > 0:22:06And you're such a lovely person,

0:22:06 > 0:22:10you made a difficult day like today feel like I've been on holiday.

0:22:13 > 0:22:17Um... So the second digit of my number is seven.

0:22:17 > 0:22:19I didn't say it to get your phone number...

0:22:19 > 0:22:227700... OK, let's get back to the beginning!

0:22:22 > 0:22:25Listen. Thank you for today.

0:22:25 > 0:22:28I don't know what I would have done without you?

0:22:28 > 0:22:32Hey! Look what I've got.

0:22:32 > 0:22:33Cool.

0:22:33 > 0:22:37Dr Carmichael is expecting us back.

0:22:37 > 0:22:40Dr Carmichael won't mind if we have a cup of tea and a chat

0:22:40 > 0:22:43with your mum - she might even prescribe it!

0:22:43 > 0:22:44Jam tart?

0:22:44 > 0:22:47Er... No, thank you, Dolly.

0:22:47 > 0:22:48Vicar.

0:22:48 > 0:22:50Um... Ayesha? Shall...

0:22:52 > 0:22:55The traffic can be busy on the bypass,

0:22:55 > 0:22:57so perhaps you had better go.

0:23:12 > 0:23:15You couldn't make it half a mile without lighting up.

0:23:16 > 0:23:17Did you spend all day baking,

0:23:17 > 0:23:20or did you manage to chat properly with Mother like you were meant to?

0:23:20 > 0:23:22What's your diagnosis, Nurse Lee?

0:23:22 > 0:23:26She's amazing. She looks after herself very well, I'd say.

0:23:26 > 0:23:30And the people she's got around her are helping her come to terms

0:23:30 > 0:23:33with losing someone she spent over half of her life with.

0:23:33 > 0:23:35Good, that's good.

0:23:36 > 0:23:39It wouldn't hurt you to come down here more.

0:23:39 > 0:23:41You know this without me telling you.

0:23:41 > 0:23:46Who knows, maybe losing your dad might bring you closer together.

0:23:46 > 0:23:47Sure.

0:23:48 > 0:23:51Do you think I need to make arrangements for her?

0:23:51 > 0:23:53Al, you've met my family.

0:23:53 > 0:23:56I'd kill to have what you've got here.

0:23:56 > 0:23:57Please try harder.

0:23:57 > 0:23:59Before it really is too late.

0:23:59 > 0:24:03I cannot believe that you got so seduced by this place.

0:24:03 > 0:24:06I invited you along because I thought you were tough.

0:24:06 > 0:24:09I assure you, Ayesha, I would take your family,

0:24:09 > 0:24:12your upbringing, over mine 11 times out of ten.

0:24:12 > 0:24:14Oh, boo-hoo! Poor you, being spoilt.

0:24:14 > 0:24:17Yes, I was spoilt and I was indulged,

0:24:17 > 0:24:20but I'd much rather have been understood.

0:24:20 > 0:24:22Your mum understands you just fine, you douche.

0:24:22 > 0:24:25She sent Frances to babysit you all afternoon so you wouldn't kick off.

0:24:25 > 0:24:28Incorrect. I bumped into Frances in the pub.

0:24:28 > 0:24:30Actually, you're incorrect.

0:24:30 > 0:24:32She texted her and told her where you were.

0:24:32 > 0:24:35How could you not realise she's a vicar?

0:24:35 > 0:24:37You accuse me of being seduced?!

0:24:37 > 0:24:39They set me up!

0:24:41 > 0:24:44That is so typical of this place.

0:24:44 > 0:24:48They manipulate you to make sure you do good deeds!

0:24:48 > 0:24:49Say nice things!

0:24:49 > 0:24:52Well, I ain't ever coming back to this place.

0:24:52 > 0:24:54Come on, let's go.

0:24:56 > 0:24:57No! Do you know what?

0:24:57 > 0:25:00You can sit in the back for the rest of the journey.

0:25:03 > 0:25:05And mind my scales!

0:25:15 > 0:25:17We agreed 300 quid, didn't we?

0:25:19 > 0:25:21Why did you start working on the car today

0:25:21 > 0:25:23when you knew you had to drive down there?

0:25:25 > 0:25:28Al, if you needed someone to be with you today,

0:25:28 > 0:25:31or you want someone to help you with your mum,

0:25:31 > 0:25:33all you have to do is ask.

0:25:33 > 0:25:35That's what friends do for each other.

0:25:35 > 0:25:38And you'd be 300 quid better off.

0:25:38 > 0:25:41300 quid and a song aren't going to make things all better, you know.

0:25:42 > 0:25:43I know.

0:25:45 > 0:25:48Text me your mum's number, I want to thank her for the scales.

0:25:48 > 0:25:52If you wanted her number, you should have asked her for it yourself!

0:26:24 > 0:26:25Dad.

0:26:51 > 0:26:54Dear Dad...

0:27:01 > 0:27:03Goodbye.

0:27:24 > 0:27:27- The coppers have been here looking for you.- Me?!

0:27:27 > 0:27:29Don't act surprised. What have you been up to?

0:27:29 > 0:27:32What would Mrs Tembe think if she knew what you was up to?

0:27:32 > 0:27:34I'd never put you down as someone

0:27:34 > 0:27:37who would engage or listen to tittle tattle.

0:27:37 > 0:27:40You're not my son. He's dead!

0:27:41 > 0:27:43Mrs Tembe!

0:27:43 > 0:27:46Oh! Mrs Tembe!
