0:00:36 > 0:00:37You've got the wrong man.

0:00:37 > 0:00:39If you say so.

0:00:39 > 0:00:42Look at that - police brutality.

0:00:42 > 0:00:45- Doesn't look too bad to me. - You would say that, wouldn't you?

0:00:45 > 0:00:48We can get our medical examiner to take a look at you, if you're worried about it.

0:00:48 > 0:00:52Yeah. I think that would be for the best, don't you?

0:00:52 > 0:00:54You know, my taxes pay your wages.

0:00:54 > 0:00:56You should treat me with respect.

0:00:56 > 0:01:00Ah, Dr Clay, will you give Mr Willis the once over, please?

0:01:00 > 0:01:03- Yeah, of course.- He tripped over his own feet trying to do a runner.

0:01:03 > 0:01:05I tripped cos they pushed me.

0:01:05 > 0:01:07You filthy pigs.

0:01:07 > 0:01:08HE OINKS

0:01:10 > 0:01:11Off you go.

0:01:18 > 0:01:19Does he have an appointment?

0:01:19 > 0:01:21I think she means you.

0:01:21 > 0:01:23- PUPPET:- No, not me.

0:01:23 > 0:01:27I'm just here keeping my friend company while he goes to see the vet.

0:01:27 > 0:01:30I don't need to see the vet. I need to see the doctor.

0:01:30 > 0:01:33What's a doctor going to do with you? I could do a song?

0:01:33 > 0:01:37No, that's fine, I'd rather you just stay quiet.

0:01:37 > 0:01:39I won't say another word.

0:01:39 > 0:01:40This won't last.

0:01:40 > 0:01:43MUFFLED SPEECH I beg your pardon?

0:01:43 > 0:01:48OK, that's enough. Mr Wilcox, and Mr...

0:01:48 > 0:01:50Don't you know who I am?

0:01:52 > 0:01:54This is Marvin the Lonely Dragon.

0:01:54 > 0:01:58- Why is he lonely?- Because I got washed up on this funny little island,

0:01:58 > 0:02:00but one day I'll get home.

0:02:00 > 0:02:02One day.

0:02:02 > 0:02:04Well, it's very nice to meet you, Marvin.

0:02:04 > 0:02:07The thing is we don't really allow pets in the surgery.

0:02:07 > 0:02:08He doesn't like the P word.

0:02:08 > 0:02:10I'm sorry.

0:02:10 > 0:02:15I'm sure he'll forgive you if you agree to come to our show this lunchtime.

0:02:15 > 0:02:17Well, I don't know.

0:02:17 > 0:02:20Pleeeeaase. Please.

0:02:21 > 0:02:23Stop it.

0:02:26 > 0:02:28Just a graze.

0:02:28 > 0:02:30Yeah, could have been a lot worse.

0:02:30 > 0:02:32Well, fortunately for you, it isn't.

0:02:32 > 0:02:37They pushed me to the ground, treated me like a common criminal.

0:02:37 > 0:02:38I could have hit my head.

0:02:38 > 0:02:40Did you?

0:02:40 > 0:02:42That's not the point.

0:02:43 > 0:02:45Well, as long as you remember to keep these clean

0:02:45 > 0:02:48while they're healing.

0:02:48 > 0:02:51I think you'll be fine. Other than that, I think you'll survive.

0:02:51 > 0:02:53I only ran cos they came at me.

0:02:53 > 0:02:54Uh-huh.

0:02:54 > 0:02:58- I was just helping out a mate who asked me to shift some of his old tat.- Uh-huh.

0:02:58 > 0:03:00How was I supposed to know the folks that really lived there

0:03:00 > 0:03:02were out the country?

0:03:02 > 0:03:05Look, I'm just here to make sure you're OK to be interviewed.

0:03:05 > 0:03:07I've got nothing to do with your case.

0:03:07 > 0:03:09Patch 'em up and shift 'em on again, that's how it is?

0:03:14 > 0:03:15You've got a visitor.

0:03:15 > 0:03:19- Hi.- You look terrible.- Thanks.

0:03:19 > 0:03:22You been out on the town? You've got that morning-after look.

0:03:22 > 0:03:24I'm just tired. A hen-do last night.

0:03:24 > 0:03:28That's how it starts, isn't it? A few drinks with friends.

0:03:28 > 0:03:30Next thing you know, the late nights become early mornings

0:03:30 > 0:03:32and you're still knocking back the shots.

0:03:32 > 0:03:35Are you seriously lecturing me on the perils of drinking?

0:03:35 > 0:03:38I'm just saying you need to be careful.

0:03:38 > 0:03:40Help yourself if you want a drink.

0:03:40 > 0:03:42- No thanks. We're going out. - We are?

0:03:42 > 0:03:44Yeah, get dressed. I've got a surprise for you.

0:03:44 > 0:03:45I don't like surprises.

0:03:45 > 0:03:48Yeah, well, you'll like this one, trust me.

0:03:48 > 0:03:51Go on, go and make yourself look presentable.

0:03:53 > 0:03:57Al, have you heard of Marvin the Lonely Dragon?

0:03:57 > 0:03:59You been internet dating again?

0:03:59 > 0:04:01Ha-ha, very funny! No, he's a puppet.

0:04:01 > 0:04:03A puppet?

0:04:03 > 0:04:05Yeah, an actual puppet. He was here earlier.

0:04:05 > 0:04:06Well, I hope he feels better soon.

0:04:06 > 0:04:10He wasn't a patient, his owner was the patient.

0:04:10 > 0:04:12Is owner the right word?

0:04:12 > 0:04:16What do you call the man who sticks his hand up the puppet's opening?

0:04:16 > 0:04:17Desperate?

0:04:17 > 0:04:20Ventriloquist! Apparently they've been performing together for years.

0:04:20 > 0:04:21I've never heard of them.

0:04:21 > 0:04:23They're one of those old-fashioned acts.

0:04:23 > 0:04:26They do a bit of banter, tell jokes, sing songs.

0:04:26 > 0:04:28Sounds absolutely hideous.

0:04:28 > 0:04:31Well, it's not meant for old cynics like you.

0:04:31 > 0:04:33They've got a show this lunchtime.

0:04:33 > 0:04:35Apparently they are about to make it big.

0:04:35 > 0:04:38- They've got talent scouts going and everything.- Yeah, course they have.

0:04:38 > 0:04:42Riddle me this - who has their big showcase in Letherbridge

0:04:42 > 0:04:43at lunchtime?

0:04:43 > 0:04:45Since when were you a showbiz expert?

0:04:45 > 0:04:48I'm just pointing out what any rational, sane person would see.

0:04:48 > 0:04:50Valerie, don't tell me you're going to go along?

0:04:50 > 0:04:52Look, all the kids watch these days

0:04:52 > 0:04:55is violent nonsense made by computers.

0:04:55 > 0:04:59This sort of traditional entertainment needs supporting or we'll lose it.

0:04:59 > 0:05:00Well, I say good riddance.

0:05:00 > 0:05:03Give me computer-made violent nonsense any day of the week.

0:05:05 > 0:05:07- KNOCK AT DOOR - Hello.

0:05:07 > 0:05:09Mr Willis is fit to be questioned.

0:05:09 > 0:05:12- Obviously. - I'm just following procedure.

0:05:12 > 0:05:14People like him, they drive me up the wall.

0:05:14 > 0:05:17You know we caught him red-handed, flogging the contents of someone's

0:05:17 > 0:05:20house on their own front drive like he lived there.

0:05:20 > 0:05:23He says he was helping a mate do a house clearance.

0:05:23 > 0:05:25I've heard it all from him, how he didn't know the people

0:05:25 > 0:05:27who really owned the place were abroad and so on.

0:05:27 > 0:05:29- He doesn't half talk. - Shameless.

0:05:29 > 0:05:31- I best get on. - Hang on a minute.

0:05:31 > 0:05:34He said that the people who owned the house were abroad?

0:05:34 > 0:05:37Yeah. He mentioned it when I was examining him.

0:05:37 > 0:05:38I wonder how he knew that?

0:05:52 > 0:05:54The box office said there's been a real buzz.

0:05:54 > 0:05:56- It looks like we'll sell out. - Did you contact the agents?

0:05:56 > 0:05:58- Of course.- You've got to keep pestering them though.

0:05:58 > 0:06:01They say they'll turn up, but when it comes down to it...

0:06:01 > 0:06:02It's all in hand, Dad.

0:06:03 > 0:06:06- Are you sure you shouldn't stick to the tried and tested material? - Not this again!

0:06:06 > 0:06:08I just think you should play to your strengths.

0:06:08 > 0:06:11Look, I did that act for 30 years and where did that get me -

0:06:11 > 0:06:17a lifetime spent in damp seaside B&Bs and three broken marriages.

0:06:17 > 0:06:19You just need the right break.

0:06:19 > 0:06:22If someone was going to snap up the old act, they'd have done it by now.

0:06:22 > 0:06:24They think I'm a dinosaur.

0:06:24 > 0:06:27These days, things have got to be "modern" and "relevant",

0:06:27 > 0:06:29whatever that means.

0:06:29 > 0:06:31Maybe we should have tried the new material first.

0:06:31 > 0:06:34- Gotten a feel for how it plays... - I know what I'm doing!

0:06:34 > 0:06:37Kids today don't want someone like Marvin.

0:06:37 > 0:06:40It's the adults, it's the people who saw us when they were young -

0:06:40 > 0:06:43- that's how we get to the next level. - Uh-huh.

0:06:43 > 0:06:47So, if you've finished lecturing me, I'd like to focus.

0:06:47 > 0:06:49Yes.

0:06:49 > 0:06:50Break a leg, Dad.

0:07:01 > 0:07:03I'm not naughty.

0:07:03 > 0:07:04Where are you taking her?

0:07:04 > 0:07:07- It's...- A surprise, I know.

0:07:07 > 0:07:09You sure you're not going to stress her out?

0:07:09 > 0:07:12- It will be fine. - You know what she's like.

0:07:12 > 0:07:16- I appreciate what you're saying, but...- I just don't want her coming back in pieces.

0:07:16 > 0:07:17She won't.

0:07:17 > 0:07:21Are you sure? Cos I'm the one who'll have to deal with her once you're gone.

0:07:21 > 0:07:24Look, I'm taking her to see Sierra, OK?

0:07:24 > 0:07:25Oh.

0:07:26 > 0:07:27You sure that's a good idea?

0:07:27 > 0:07:29Yeah, I think it is.

0:07:31 > 0:07:33Ready?

0:07:33 > 0:07:35I don't know about this.

0:07:35 > 0:07:38- I want to know where we're going. - The park. It will be nice.

0:07:38 > 0:07:42I'm not a child. I don't want to go and play on the swings.

0:07:42 > 0:07:43You'll enjoy it, trust me.

0:07:45 > 0:07:46Please, Mum.

0:07:58 > 0:08:00Enjoy the show. Enjoy the show.

0:08:02 > 0:08:03Do you still have tickets?

0:08:03 > 0:08:06- Yes.- How much are they?

0:08:06 > 0:08:07It's free. Go on in.

0:08:07 > 0:08:10Oh. Is something wrong?

0:08:10 > 0:08:13No, not at all. How did you hear about the show?

0:08:14 > 0:08:16Well, I don't want to get all

0:08:16 > 0:08:19namedrops-keep-falling-on-my-head, but I met them earlier.

0:08:19 > 0:08:22Warren and Marvin. They said I should come.

0:08:22 > 0:08:25Oh. I didn't realise Dad had been out drumming up business.

0:08:25 > 0:08:29Oh, you're his son? Warren's, not the dragon's. Obviously.

0:08:29 > 0:08:31Guilty as charged.

0:08:31 > 0:08:34I'm also his manager, so if you need a top notch act for a private event.

0:08:34 > 0:08:36He does a great show for corporate clients.

0:08:36 > 0:08:39I don't think the people I work with would appreciate him.

0:08:39 > 0:08:41Well, at least you have exceptional taste.

0:08:41 > 0:08:43Thank you, I've always thought that.

0:08:44 > 0:08:46Bye.

0:08:58 > 0:09:01- About time. I was wondering... - I brought somebody to see you.

0:09:04 > 0:09:05Sierra!

0:09:07 > 0:09:08Come here, love.

0:09:19 > 0:09:20Thanks.

0:09:28 > 0:09:29So have you seen them before?

0:09:29 > 0:09:31Who?

0:09:32 > 0:09:34Warren and Marvin.

0:09:34 > 0:09:36Is that who we're watching?

0:09:36 > 0:09:37Yep.

0:09:39 > 0:09:43Do you know, we used to have acts like this on the telly all the time.

0:09:43 > 0:09:46They might have been naive, but they always had heart.

0:09:50 > 0:09:51JAUNTY MUSIC PLAYS

0:09:55 > 0:09:59Oh, hello! Thanks for coming. Thank you, thank you.

0:10:01 > 0:10:04Shut your trap, it's me they want to hear from.

0:10:04 > 0:10:07All right, Marvin, never mind.

0:10:07 > 0:10:10So what did you do this weekend, Marvin?

0:10:10 > 0:10:13I was at home with the old ball and chain.

0:10:13 > 0:10:16Oh, dear. You know what she said to me?

0:10:16 > 0:10:17What did she say?

0:10:17 > 0:10:22She said, "Whisper in my ear, the dirtiest things you can think of."

0:10:22 > 0:10:23What did you say?

0:10:23 > 0:10:25I said the kitchen, the bedroom and the bathroom,

0:10:25 > 0:10:27so she knows where to start cleaning!

0:10:29 > 0:10:32No, it's not all fun and games being married, I can tell you that.

0:10:32 > 0:10:34- Really?- Oh, no, no.

0:10:34 > 0:10:36She looked at me the other day,

0:10:36 > 0:10:40she said "I was an idiot when I married you."

0:10:40 > 0:10:42- What did you say? - I said, "You still are!"

0:10:43 > 0:10:46There must be some things you like about her?

0:10:46 > 0:10:50Yeah, there is. She's kept her looks, I'll say that much.

0:10:50 > 0:10:55The other day I told her she looked so hot, I wanted to take her...

0:10:55 > 0:10:56Behind the begonias.

0:10:56 > 0:11:00Nah, I wasn't hiding. I thought I heard a distressed cat.

0:11:01 > 0:11:05This elusive "mate" of yours, whose house you were helping to clear out.

0:11:05 > 0:11:07- Does he have a name? - More of a nickname.

0:11:07 > 0:11:09Everyone calls him Badger.

0:11:09 > 0:11:11- Don't know why. - And you don't know his real name?

0:11:11 > 0:11:13No, he's more of an acquaintance.

0:11:13 > 0:11:16Somebody you occasionally see down the pub.

0:11:16 > 0:11:18How was I supposed to know he was going to set me up?

0:11:18 > 0:11:21He just gave me the address, said he'd be there to help when he knocked off work.

0:11:21 > 0:11:24See, the lock on the back door had been broken.

0:11:24 > 0:11:25I didn't notice.

0:11:25 > 0:11:28He said it would be unlocked and it was so I let myself in.

0:11:28 > 0:11:29So you didn't force it?

0:11:29 > 0:11:32No, of course not. What do you think I am?

0:11:32 > 0:11:36- And you thought that this house belonged to Badger?- Yeah.

0:11:36 > 0:11:38First I knew any different was when you lot showed up.

0:11:38 > 0:11:42You see, the thing is, you told our medical examiner

0:11:42 > 0:11:44the people who owned the house were abroad?

0:11:46 > 0:11:47I never said that.

0:11:47 > 0:11:50Maybe you let it slip out during one of your monologues?

0:11:50 > 0:11:51He must have misheard me then.

0:11:51 > 0:11:54Stop playing games and wasting everybody's time!

0:11:56 > 0:12:00Interview suspended, 14.45.

0:12:00 > 0:12:01We'll continue this shortly.

0:12:03 > 0:12:05Hurry back, Sergeant.

0:12:05 > 0:12:07I want to make sure I get off by supper time.

0:12:07 > 0:12:09She seemed to like it.

0:12:09 > 0:12:11- And what did she say? - Not on a Tuesday.

0:12:13 > 0:12:14What about her family then?

0:12:14 > 0:12:18I mean, I bet your mother-in-law's a dragon?

0:12:18 > 0:12:22Hey, I'll do the jokes. No, she is though.

0:12:22 > 0:12:24You know, I always know when she's coming round.

0:12:24 > 0:12:25Oh, really, how?

0:12:25 > 0:12:27The rats throw themselves on the traps.

0:12:28 > 0:12:30Oh, dear me.

0:12:30 > 0:12:32- No, we don't go round there though. - Why's that?

0:12:32 > 0:12:34I let the wife navigate.

0:12:34 > 0:12:37She can't read a map, she can't drive.

0:12:37 > 0:12:40It's a wonder I let her have a kitchen at all.

0:12:40 > 0:12:43Mind you, she's dynamite in bed.

0:12:43 > 0:12:47- Is she now?- Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

0:12:47 > 0:12:49I can't think of anyone else who'd let me...

0:12:49 > 0:12:52Have fun at the play park and then go for a 99.

0:12:52 > 0:12:56- Or we could stay here and have cake. - Whatever Sierra wants.

0:12:56 > 0:12:57Can we play a game?

0:12:57 > 0:13:00That sounds good. Why don't you go and pick one?

0:13:03 > 0:13:05How did you arrange this?

0:13:05 > 0:13:08I told Social Services I thought you were ready.

0:13:08 > 0:13:10You've got to report back afterwards?

0:13:10 > 0:13:13Mum, just try and enjoy this time with her, all right.

0:13:13 > 0:13:16- I don't like being spied on. - I didn't have to do this.

0:13:16 > 0:13:18I am on your side, you know.

0:13:18 > 0:13:20Yeah, sorry.

0:13:20 > 0:13:24I wasn't sure I'd ever get to be like this with her again.

0:13:24 > 0:13:28Well, if you can stay sober then this could be the first of many meetings.

0:13:28 > 0:13:31Oh, that looks like a good one.

0:13:31 > 0:13:35- It is, I've played it before. - You'll have to teach me the rules.

0:13:35 > 0:13:37- Mind she doesn't cheat though.- Hey!

0:13:37 > 0:13:39Remember when you taught me to play draughts?

0:13:39 > 0:13:41You started with five more pieces than me!

0:13:41 > 0:13:45- I was trying to share an important life lesson with you.- Yeah?

0:13:45 > 0:13:47People don't play fair.

0:13:47 > 0:13:49And anyone that does, loses...

0:13:49 > 0:13:53It and end up playing with themselves until a younger model comes along.

0:13:55 > 0:13:58Oh, I'm not naughty.

0:13:58 > 0:14:01Oh, ladies and gentlemen, thank you so much for coming along.

0:14:08 > 0:14:12Thank you very much, thank you. Bye-bye.

0:14:15 > 0:14:18Did you think that was funny?

0:14:18 > 0:14:20Are you kidding? It was excruciating.

0:14:20 > 0:14:22Sort of thing my dirty-minded uncle would have liked.

0:14:22 > 0:14:24And he got locked up in the end.

0:14:24 > 0:14:26But you were laughing.

0:14:26 > 0:14:29- That's what they paid us for, wasn't it?- Paid you?

0:14:29 > 0:14:31Yeah. Weren't you?

0:14:34 > 0:14:37The guy over there, he came to the college bar last week.

0:14:37 > 0:14:40Offered 20 quid to anyone who'd come and pretend to enjoy it.

0:14:43 > 0:14:45KNOCK AT DOOR Yeah.

0:14:45 > 0:14:49- Jimmi, about Mr Willis.- Yes. - Did he tell you anything else?

0:14:49 > 0:14:52Yes, that he was innocent and the whole world is out to get him.

0:14:52 > 0:14:55- Yeah, I got that bit. - He offered it up voluntarily and it seemed relevant.

0:14:55 > 0:14:56But to be honest I was just making sure he was OK.

0:14:56 > 0:15:01- His fatally grazed hands?- Sorry. - He's just not giving much away.

0:15:01 > 0:15:05You must have done a background check on him. Didn't that throw anything up?

0:15:08 > 0:15:10- Yeah, course I did.- Right.

0:15:11 > 0:15:12- Best get on.- Yeah.

0:15:14 > 0:15:17Thank you. Thanks for coming.

0:15:17 > 0:15:19Spread the word - Marvin and Warren have arrived!

0:15:19 > 0:15:22Thank you. How did you like that?

0:15:23 > 0:15:25Not one little bit.

0:15:25 > 0:15:29I didn't expect it to be so...filthy.

0:15:29 > 0:15:31It's true, Dad has updated his act a little.

0:15:31 > 0:15:35Updated? It was sexist, narrow-minded and offensive.

0:15:35 > 0:15:37- But the crowd seemed to like it. - Because you paid them to.

0:15:37 > 0:15:39Keep your voice down.

0:15:39 > 0:15:42- Oh, he doesn't know.- Here. - I don't want your money.

0:15:42 > 0:15:44But if I could just get the last hour of my life back,

0:15:44 > 0:15:47- that would be nice. - Please don't tell him.

0:15:48 > 0:15:50- The coast is clear.- Good.

0:15:50 > 0:15:54Oh, you tricked me, you little monkey.

0:15:54 > 0:15:57Monkey? You want to get your eyes tested, Grandad.

0:15:57 > 0:15:59Shh, the fans are waiting.

0:16:08 > 0:16:13Now, I've been wondering how you knew these people were abroad?

0:16:13 > 0:16:16Do I have to keep saying this?

0:16:16 > 0:16:19I have no idea what you are on about.

0:16:19 > 0:16:22Well, let me help you out.

0:16:22 > 0:16:25See, I've done some checking and I have found out that you

0:16:25 > 0:16:27are a part-time cab driver.

0:16:27 > 0:16:29I've spoken to your dispatcher

0:16:29 > 0:16:32and you have done a lot of airport transfers recently.

0:16:32 > 0:16:34- So?- We've had quite a few of these incidents of fake

0:16:34 > 0:16:36house-clearances reported.

0:16:36 > 0:16:40And would you believe it? You have taken a lot of them to the airport.

0:16:40 > 0:16:43Now you can carry on playing games if you want to, but we will

0:16:43 > 0:16:47get sufficient evidence to prosecute you for breaking and entering.

0:16:47 > 0:16:52But here's the thing, the courts may look favourably on you

0:16:52 > 0:16:57if you cooperate and help us identify anyone else involved.

0:16:58 > 0:17:01Would you like a few minutes to think about that?

0:17:01 > 0:17:03- So why did you do it? - Look at him.

0:17:03 > 0:17:05Do you know the last time I saw him this happy?

0:17:05 > 0:17:06But it's not real.

0:17:06 > 0:17:09He's spent decades playing second fiddle to a felt dragon -

0:17:09 > 0:17:12do you think he's bothered about the real world?

0:17:12 > 0:17:14What's he going to think when he finds out they don't really like his act?

0:17:14 > 0:17:19He can't. When he feels things are going bad, he drinks.

0:17:19 > 0:17:21It's been bad recently.

0:17:21 > 0:17:24I just wanted to do this for him cos I thought I could pull him out of it.

0:17:24 > 0:17:28But what about when the phone doesn't start ringing?

0:17:28 > 0:17:30I presume there weren't any real talent scouts in there.

0:17:30 > 0:17:34Look, if you've got any better plans, I'd love to hear them.

0:17:34 > 0:17:35I thought not.

0:17:35 > 0:17:39- My dear, thank you for coming. - Who's this?

0:17:40 > 0:17:45Oh, the receptionist. How did you like the show?

0:17:45 > 0:17:49Was I fantastic or just amazing?

0:17:49 > 0:17:50It wasn't what I was expecting.

0:17:50 > 0:17:54Well, wouldn't life be dull if we always got what we were expecting?

0:17:54 > 0:17:55Did you enjoy it, Dad?

0:17:55 > 0:17:58I had a miserable time, but he seems happy enough.

0:17:58 > 0:18:00It was wonderful.

0:18:00 > 0:18:01Well, I ought to be going.

0:18:01 > 0:18:04Don't you want my autograph while you can still afford it?

0:18:05 > 0:18:07No thanks.

0:18:09 > 0:18:12Hey, did you get him to cough up?

0:18:12 > 0:18:14You wouldn't want to have sat through that for nothing.

0:18:14 > 0:18:16Apparently some of them got an extra five quid to wait around

0:18:16 > 0:18:19afterwards and ask for his autograph.

0:18:19 > 0:18:20What?

0:18:23 > 0:18:27- I win.- You definitely cheated. - Did not!

0:18:27 > 0:18:31- Face it, she outplayed us both. - Fair enough. The best woman won.

0:18:33 > 0:18:35I better get her back to Tracey's.

0:18:37 > 0:18:38- I understand. - I won't be long.

0:18:38 > 0:18:41So if you want to get another drink, I'll come and pick you up in a bit.

0:18:41 > 0:18:45- I can walk. I could do with the air. - Are you sure?- Yes.

0:18:51 > 0:18:53Bye, Sierra.

0:18:57 > 0:18:59I'll see you very soon.

0:18:59 > 0:19:01OK, come on.

0:19:04 > 0:19:05Thank you.

0:19:16 > 0:19:18He's not going to want the money back, is he?

0:19:18 > 0:19:21- I think you better go. - Did you pay all of them?- Most.

0:19:21 > 0:19:23And what about the agents?

0:19:23 > 0:19:25You didn't bother calling any of them, did you?

0:19:25 > 0:19:30- I called every single one. They weren't interested...- What about you, were you in on this?

0:19:30 > 0:19:31No, of course not. You invited me yourself.

0:19:31 > 0:19:35Well, I thought he might have slipped you a couple of quid, just so you'd laugh.

0:19:35 > 0:19:36I didn't laugh.

0:19:37 > 0:19:40- Sorry, I didn't mean that. - Yes, you did.

0:19:40 > 0:19:45Look, honestly, I did not like some of the language you used.

0:19:45 > 0:19:48And the jokes were crude and old-fashioned.

0:19:48 > 0:19:51But I think Marvin is a very good character.

0:19:51 > 0:19:54Liars! Everywhere I look!

0:19:59 > 0:20:02Interview terminated, 1600 hours.

0:20:02 > 0:20:05For what it's worth, Paul, you made the right choice.

0:20:05 > 0:20:07I look forward to talking to your "colleagues".

0:20:07 > 0:20:10There might be others. I don't know everyone involved.

0:20:10 > 0:20:12This will do for starters.

0:20:12 > 0:20:15You won't tell them where you got their names from?

0:20:17 > 0:20:19Your secret is safe with me.

0:20:30 > 0:20:31LOUD CRASH

0:20:31 > 0:20:33Rob...

0:20:35 > 0:20:36Hey.

0:20:37 > 0:20:41Listen, he'll be all right. He'll realise that you meant well.

0:20:41 > 0:20:43You obviously don't know him.

0:20:43 > 0:20:45All you were trying to do was to lift his spirits.

0:20:45 > 0:20:49For years he's had this stupid dream of hitting the big time.

0:20:49 > 0:20:52- There's nothing wrong with dreaming. - There is if it only makes you unhappy.

0:20:52 > 0:20:53He's not good enough.

0:20:53 > 0:20:56Maybe he used to be, but the world moved on and he didn't.

0:20:57 > 0:21:02That show you just watched - that's his attempt at being up to date.

0:21:02 > 0:21:06I told him he'd got it all wrong, but he wouldn't listen.

0:21:06 > 0:21:09Most of the clubs that take those kind of blue acts aren't around any more.

0:21:09 > 0:21:12Well, can't he just stick to his kids' routine?

0:21:12 > 0:21:14He thinks he's above that.

0:21:14 > 0:21:17And the kids aren't really into that kind of act any more.

0:21:17 > 0:21:18Dad doesn't fit anywhere.

0:21:21 > 0:21:23I'd best clean up.

0:21:23 > 0:21:25I've only got the theatre for another half hour.

0:21:25 > 0:21:27You paid for all of this yourself?

0:21:27 > 0:21:29I'm his manager. His son.

0:21:30 > 0:21:32I had to try something.

0:21:32 > 0:21:34Here.

0:21:34 > 0:21:36Keep it.

0:21:36 > 0:21:38Maybe you can get a few quid for it on the internet.

0:21:40 > 0:21:42I don't want to see that stupid thing again.

0:21:55 > 0:21:57KNOCK AT DOOR Go away.

0:22:00 > 0:22:03I hope you're not doing anything stupid in here.

0:22:05 > 0:22:07Oh.

0:22:07 > 0:22:08I thought you might want him back.

0:22:08 > 0:22:10I wish I'd never seen the stupid creature.

0:22:14 > 0:22:17Will you stop wishing your life away!

0:22:19 > 0:22:21You've no right to talk to me like that.

0:22:21 > 0:22:25Maybe not. But your son doesn't deserve this.

0:22:25 > 0:22:28He's at his wits' end because of these wild dreams of yours.

0:22:28 > 0:22:32This is the same son who thinks people have to be paid to enjoy my act?

0:22:32 > 0:22:34That money came out of his own pocket.

0:22:34 > 0:22:36Who do you think paid for the theatre?

0:22:36 > 0:22:40- If that doesn't show how much he loves you, I don't know what will. - What's my legacy going to be?

0:22:40 > 0:22:45That I entertained some bored tourists at the end of a pier.

0:22:45 > 0:22:48You've made a living doing something you really enjoy.

0:22:48 > 0:22:51- Not everyone can say that. - It's all so small.

0:22:52 > 0:22:55You are the father to someone who cares about you very much.

0:22:56 > 0:22:58Doesn't that count for something?

0:23:00 > 0:23:03There's worse things in life than not being famous.

0:23:05 > 0:23:08I was ill.

0:23:08 > 0:23:10And if I didn't have the support of the people who cared about me,

0:23:10 > 0:23:12I wouldn't have made it through.

0:23:13 > 0:23:17You are so blessed, if only you could see it.

0:23:19 > 0:23:20I thought she was with you.

0:23:20 > 0:23:23She was, but I had to take Sierra back.

0:23:23 > 0:23:25I tried calling her but she's not answering.

0:23:25 > 0:23:27She should be back by now.

0:23:27 > 0:23:29Well, why did you let her go off on her own?

0:23:29 > 0:23:32- You knew she'd be emotional. - She said she wanted to walk.

0:23:32 > 0:23:36And now she could be anywhere. I said you shouldn't have taken her.

0:23:36 > 0:23:37This is just the sort of thing to set her off again.

0:23:37 > 0:23:39I thought it would make her happy.

0:23:39 > 0:23:43It will send her running, make her want to lose herself in something.

0:23:43 > 0:23:45All or nothing, that's Bren.

0:23:45 > 0:23:48- I'm going to try her again. - You don't need to phone me, I'm right here.

0:23:48 > 0:23:52- Where have you been? - Walking. Thinking.

0:23:52 > 0:23:54Didn't realise I had to report back to you.

0:23:57 > 0:23:59What's this?

0:23:59 > 0:24:02The latest update on the plans to demolish the houses.

0:24:02 > 0:24:04You're kidding?

0:24:04 > 0:24:07It's nothing new. Don't worry yourself about it.

0:24:07 > 0:24:09How was today, Bren?

0:24:11 > 0:24:13It was good, wasn't it?

0:24:13 > 0:24:15This is ridiculous!

0:24:15 > 0:24:18They haven't paid attention to any of our objections.

0:24:18 > 0:24:21- We've got to fight it. - Just leave it for now.

0:24:21 > 0:24:22How can I?

0:24:22 > 0:24:25We've got to be better organised, make sure the word gets out.

0:24:25 > 0:24:27Then you should have stayed at the last protest.

0:24:27 > 0:24:30Oh, so this is all my fault now, is it?

0:24:30 > 0:24:32No. Of course it isn't.

0:24:32 > 0:24:34Look, the others are doing what they can.

0:24:34 > 0:24:35That might be enough.

0:24:35 > 0:24:37No, no, no!

0:24:38 > 0:24:41We have to call people to account. They can't do this to us.

0:24:42 > 0:24:45How was it this afternoon?

0:24:45 > 0:24:46Bet it was nice to see Sierra?

0:24:48 > 0:24:49It was lovely.

0:24:51 > 0:24:52But I have to focus on this now.

0:25:09 > 0:25:11HE CLEARS THROAT

0:25:12 > 0:25:14We have to get out.

0:25:14 > 0:25:16There's another group that need the theatre.

0:25:22 > 0:25:23I'll see you, Dad.

0:25:23 > 0:25:24- Wait.- What?

0:25:27 > 0:25:28Thank you.

0:25:32 > 0:25:34Any time.

0:25:54 > 0:25:56Rob, have you got a minute?

0:25:58 > 0:26:00- Yeah.- Shut the door, mate.

0:26:03 > 0:26:05What's wrong?

0:26:06 > 0:26:08That's really what I was going to ask you,

0:26:08 > 0:26:11cos you haven't been yourself today.

0:26:11 > 0:26:15I've just got a confession out of our friend with grazed hands.

0:26:15 > 0:26:17I'd call that a win.

0:26:17 > 0:26:20I realise we haven't really spoke about the RTC,

0:26:20 > 0:26:22about what happened with the driver.

0:26:22 > 0:26:24That's because we don't need to.

0:26:24 > 0:26:26It's just that sometimes that can really affect people.

0:26:26 > 0:26:29That kind of thing, they find it hard to talk about.

0:26:29 > 0:26:30For sure.

0:26:30 > 0:26:35I have spoken to all the relevant officers about what happened.

0:26:35 > 0:26:37I took the voluntary leave that was offered.

0:26:37 > 0:26:42Look, what happened was horrific, it was, but I've been doing

0:26:42 > 0:26:45and seeing this sort of thing for far too long to let it get to me.

0:26:48 > 0:26:50Good. As long as you're OK.

0:26:50 > 0:26:52Thanks for your concern.

0:26:52 > 0:26:54Well, you know where I am. I'm here if you need me.

0:26:54 > 0:26:56Thanks, Jimmi.

0:27:14 > 0:27:18You are about to be married in less than nine hours.

0:27:18 > 0:27:20Constable Watson.

0:27:20 > 0:27:21Yes, Sarge.

0:27:21 > 0:27:23I have just the thing for you to get your teeth into.

0:27:23 > 0:27:26- Hi, Amber. What's up? - She's not coping.

0:27:26 > 0:27:27Ready?

0:27:30 > 0:27:33You're the scum! You're the ones who should be kicked out.

0:27:33 > 0:27:35See how you like it when we redevelop this!
