0:01:39 > 0:01:41It's, like, half five.

0:01:41 > 0:01:43Monkfish.

0:01:43 > 0:01:45- Monkfish? - Yeah, monkfish. For the new menu.

0:01:45 > 0:01:46There's a new menu?

0:01:46 > 0:01:49Yeah. We need a new menu. Need to keep it fresh, different.

0:01:49 > 0:01:51There's all these websites out there -

0:01:51 > 0:01:52bloggers, reviews, where to eat in London,

0:01:52 > 0:01:54we need to be on there somewhere.

0:01:54 > 0:01:56I'm going to close the restaurant at lunchtime,

0:01:56 > 0:01:58so I can concentrate on getting this menu up and running, OK?

0:01:58 > 0:02:01Now, what do you think, monkfish or halibut?

0:02:01 > 0:02:02Ah, turbot.

0:02:02 > 0:02:04Yes, yes, turbot.

0:02:04 > 0:02:06Herbert the Turbot.

0:02:06 > 0:02:07It's all good. All good.

0:02:10 > 0:02:12We don't have to tell her.

0:02:12 > 0:02:15She'll be fine, but don't do sudden with your mum.

0:02:15 > 0:02:18- I have to pick my moment. - DOOR OPENS

0:02:18 > 0:02:21- Morning, sweetheart... - Stop stealing my dressing gown.

0:02:21 > 0:02:23She won't want to know.

0:02:24 > 0:02:26She's your mum, she loves you. I'll sort it.

0:02:28 > 0:02:30Bobby, shift it!

0:02:30 > 0:02:31Brass monkeys out there.

0:02:31 > 0:02:33Oh, Pete, you got any kumquats?

0:02:33 > 0:02:35- No. Funnily enough, I don't. - Right, I'm off.

0:02:35 > 0:02:38No, no, no. No, you're going to take Bobby to school.

0:02:38 > 0:02:40I've got to sort all these ingredients for the menu.

0:02:40 > 0:02:42Last night we agreed that you were going to take Bobby to school

0:02:42 > 0:02:44- cos I'm busy at the B&B. - Well, I'm busy too.

0:02:44 > 0:02:46What, looking for kumquats?

0:02:46 > 0:02:48- I've got bloggers to get into... - And you've got a son

0:02:48 > 0:02:51- that needs taking to school. - Look, I'm really sorry, I'm busy.

0:02:51 > 0:02:53- It's fine, I can take him. - You sure?- Yeah.- Thanks, love.

0:02:53 > 0:02:54Perks of being the boss.

0:02:54 > 0:02:56Great, OK, I'm going to need texts.

0:02:56 > 0:02:58- I need to know what we want for food tonight, OK?- OK.

0:02:58 > 0:02:59See you later.

0:03:00 > 0:03:02Something's not right.

0:03:02 > 0:03:04Maybe he just needs to talk to someone.

0:03:04 > 0:03:06- It's not like we haven't all tried. - Not all of us.

0:03:12 > 0:03:15Come on, skiver, holiday's over.

0:03:15 > 0:03:18- How long till Kim's back? - Don't ask.

0:03:18 > 0:03:20Just call me when you get this, Carl...

0:03:20 > 0:03:22Oh, Kirsty...

0:03:22 > 0:03:24Oh, yeah, yeah, you'll get the rent ASAP.

0:03:24 > 0:03:25No, no. Wait up.

0:03:27 > 0:03:29- Brilliant.- Patrick's back, though, ain't he?

0:03:29 > 0:03:32What's the betting he hasn't even sorted out the breakfast yet?

0:03:32 > 0:03:35You know what? I sort that lot out at the house, I've got all this...

0:03:35 > 0:03:37- SHE GROANS - I love being me.

0:03:37 > 0:03:39Ian's helping out, though, right?

0:03:39 > 0:03:42Ian...helping?

0:03:42 > 0:03:44It's what couples do - support each other.

0:03:46 > 0:03:47Just saying.

0:03:48 > 0:03:49Thanks for the post.

0:04:02 > 0:04:04You've done us both jam.

0:04:04 > 0:04:06I want you to see what you can sort with some ready meals.

0:04:06 > 0:04:08We need something coming out of that kitchen ASAP.

0:04:08 > 0:04:10- Like what?- Linda.

0:04:10 > 0:04:11Dad, it's fine...

0:04:11 > 0:04:15I don't know, lasagnes, curries, easy stuff. But decent...

0:04:15 > 0:04:17The boy don't eat jam, he never has...

0:04:17 > 0:04:19It's time he started.

0:04:19 > 0:04:21Do you want me to do you some fresh with peanut butter?

0:04:21 > 0:04:24This ain't a B&B. It's toast and jam or nothing.

0:04:43 > 0:04:48What's going on, Bill? Listen, Bill, just give up, bro.

0:04:48 > 0:04:50Don't you know she's from Lesbos?

0:04:50 > 0:04:51Not the other night, she weren't.

0:04:51 > 0:04:53- You're lying?- Am I? - What, you and her?

0:04:53 > 0:04:54HE LAUGHS

0:04:56 > 0:04:58Well, you know what they say, Dex. Nine times out of ten,

0:04:58 > 0:05:01it's just cos they ain't met the right bloke, you know?

0:05:05 > 0:05:07- You got the decorators in? - Eh?

0:05:07 > 0:05:08Your time of the month, is it?

0:05:10 > 0:05:17These? These are not for me, these are for Lola.

0:05:17 > 0:05:18Yeah, course they are.

0:05:21 > 0:05:25Bill, don't look so down, you're probably just PMT-ing.

0:05:25 > 0:05:27Well, at least she didn't punch me, did she?

0:05:39 > 0:05:40Do you want me to finish that?

0:05:45 > 0:05:47Maybe you should come and sit down,

0:05:47 > 0:05:50because there's some stuff we need to talk about.

0:05:50 > 0:05:51About time.

0:05:53 > 0:05:55- Eh?- I heard you. I heard everything,

0:05:55 > 0:05:57and no, I don't want to talk about it

0:05:57 > 0:05:59because I know my kids and he is not...

0:05:59 > 0:06:00He's not like that.

0:06:15 > 0:06:17Just give her time.

0:06:24 > 0:06:26Tina. Tina, I was thinking

0:06:26 > 0:06:28maybe me and you could go for a drink?

0:06:28 > 0:06:30You want to buy me a drink, that's fine by me.

0:06:30 > 0:06:31See, I knew it.

0:06:31 > 0:06:34No, as a mate. We've done all this the other night.

0:06:34 > 0:06:36It was a mistake.

0:06:36 > 0:06:38Don't waste your energy on me, you're a decent bloke.

0:06:38 > 0:06:40Yeah. Lonely loser, more like.

0:06:40 > 0:06:43Cut it out with all the self-pity. You ain't no loser.

0:06:43 > 0:06:48Shirl's told me loads about what you've done for Lola and Lexi.

0:06:48 > 0:06:50You deserve someone, it's just not me.

0:06:51 > 0:06:53See you around.

0:06:53 > 0:06:56Peter, how could you forget to pick up the carrots?

0:06:56 > 0:06:59- I forgot, I'm sorry.- They're our bestseller. What's going to happen?

0:06:59 > 0:07:01A punter comes, wants to buy some, we haven't got any -

0:07:01 > 0:07:02We lose customers.

0:07:02 > 0:07:04Are you happy to have your granddaughter

0:07:04 > 0:07:05mix with that lot, are you?

0:07:05 > 0:07:08- Peter, you need to keep on top of things.- Ian...

0:07:08 > 0:07:10I got distracted, all right? I'm sorry.

0:07:10 > 0:07:11Look, it's just some carrots.

0:07:11 > 0:07:13I run successful businesses, OK?

0:07:13 > 0:07:14I keep on top of things. It matters.

0:07:14 > 0:07:17It should matter to you. Well, does it?

0:07:17 > 0:07:18Yeah, course it does.

0:07:18 > 0:07:19Look, Peter knows he's messed up.

0:07:19 > 0:07:22Look, I haven't got the time to check you know how to run the stall.

0:07:22 > 0:07:25Look, come on, let's leave him to it. He can sort it.

0:07:25 > 0:07:27Come on, let's go. Come on.

0:07:34 > 0:07:36- She's seen us.- Yeah, I know. Don't make eye contact.

0:07:38 > 0:07:40Dad, shouldn't you say something?

0:07:40 > 0:07:41Not yet.

0:07:54 > 0:07:56How the hell am I supposed to find stuff?

0:07:56 > 0:07:58Well, I did tell you to label the boxes, didn't I?

0:07:58 > 0:08:01Do you want to come with me, sort stuff for the pub food?

0:08:02 > 0:08:05She will come round, it's just the shock.

0:08:05 > 0:08:06And I know who to thank for that.

0:08:11 > 0:08:13So the whole thing with the jam...

0:08:13 > 0:08:15that's your way of dealing with it, is it?

0:08:16 > 0:08:18Making a point of treating the boy different?

0:08:20 > 0:08:23I should have told you straightaway but it's still our Johnny,

0:08:23 > 0:08:25- what is your problem? - I haven't got one.

0:08:41 > 0:08:43Ah! What are you doing?

0:08:43 > 0:08:44You said you were tidying up this morning.

0:08:44 > 0:08:46- I will. - I can't believe you.

0:08:46 > 0:08:49It's 11 o'clock and some of us have already done a day's work.

0:08:49 > 0:08:5011? Oh...

0:08:50 > 0:08:52- Where are you going? - I'm late.

0:08:52 > 0:08:54Oh, another bout of doing nothing?

0:08:54 > 0:08:55For a job interview. Sorry.

0:08:58 > 0:09:01Ignoring it isn't going to make it go away.

0:09:01 > 0:09:03No, cos it ain't working with you.

0:09:03 > 0:09:06Your son is gay, he hasn't got a cold or anything.

0:09:06 > 0:09:09You do know that's a pretty permanent thing? There's no cream for it.

0:09:12 > 0:09:14No wonder he found it difficult to talk to you,

0:09:14 > 0:09:16cos when I spoke to him, he was pretty desperate.

0:09:16 > 0:09:18What do you mean, when you spoke to him?

0:09:18 > 0:09:20The boy needed support.

0:09:20 > 0:09:21I told you - when it comes to my kids,

0:09:21 > 0:09:23wind that scraggy neck of yours in.

0:09:23 > 0:09:25- Oh, do me a favour. - You keep out of their lives.

0:09:25 > 0:09:27Oh, behave yourself. Your own son was too scared

0:09:27 > 0:09:28to tell you that he was gay.

0:09:30 > 0:09:32Ah, look...

0:09:32 > 0:09:34the perfect caring mother.

0:09:36 > 0:09:40Right, let's get the drawbridge down and let the hordes in.

0:09:52 > 0:09:53What have you said to her?

0:09:53 > 0:09:54Nothing...

0:09:56 > 0:09:58..that hasn't been said before.

0:10:02 > 0:10:03So was it in the face?

0:10:04 > 0:10:08So could we do, say, 20 of these and the same with the curries?

0:10:08 > 0:10:09Like a proper punch?

0:10:09 > 0:10:11It was hardly a punch, I just...

0:10:11 > 0:10:12Can we do the food?

0:10:12 > 0:10:15You'll have to deal with my dad, I'm just covering for an hour.

0:10:15 > 0:10:17- All right, but we could sort something?- Don't see why not.

0:10:17 > 0:10:19Well, I'll get my dad to speak to your dad.

0:10:19 > 0:10:22- OK.- Nice to meet you.- You too.

0:10:26 > 0:10:28He was all over the place, he had a right go at me.

0:10:28 > 0:10:30Do you want to go and find him?

0:10:30 > 0:10:32No, it's fine. He's with Sharon.

0:10:32 > 0:10:34He's got himself all worked up about the menu and about...

0:10:36 > 0:10:38Look, it doesn't matter, does it?

0:10:38 > 0:10:39Oi, stop stressing about this.

0:10:39 > 0:10:41It does matter. He is your dad, all right?

0:10:41 > 0:10:43Go and make sure he's all right

0:10:43 > 0:10:45and let me concentrate on getting us our own place.

0:10:53 > 0:10:55I'm thinking something with a bit of crunch in it.

0:10:55 > 0:10:59- I was thinking beans. French beans? What do you think, Sharon?- Ian, stop.

0:10:59 > 0:11:02- Right, beans it is, then. - Turbot, celeriac, peas.- Beans.

0:11:02 > 0:11:05Beans, it's all good, Ian. But you've got to slow down.

0:11:05 > 0:11:08What, and do what? Let things get on top of me? I can't do that, Sharon.

0:11:08 > 0:11:10I've got to get these menus right for the bloggers, OK?

0:11:10 > 0:11:12Maybe there's nothing wrong with the menu, Ian.

0:11:12 > 0:11:15Maybe there's other stuff that needs sorting.

0:11:17 > 0:11:21Setting up in your own place, it's tough, you know.

0:11:21 > 0:11:22Yeah, we know that, Pops.

0:11:22 > 0:11:25That's why we're going to go private first.

0:11:25 > 0:11:27You serious? There's no way he can afford that.

0:11:28 > 0:11:31Well, I'm not going to let Lola and Lexi go without, am I?

0:11:31 > 0:11:35I'll do whatever it takes. I'll get night shifts, extra work.

0:11:35 > 0:11:38I mean, there's work out there, you've just got to find it.

0:11:38 > 0:11:42Oh, come on, Pops, I was going to tell you when we found a place.

0:11:42 > 0:11:45I wasn't going to just leave you, I wouldn't do that to you.

0:11:47 > 0:11:49I just don't see why you've got to move out.

0:11:50 > 0:11:52Because we want to be together.

0:11:58 > 0:12:00Why doesn't Peter move in with us, then?

0:12:07 > 0:12:09- There you go, winkle.- Ta, mate. Keep that.

0:12:09 > 0:12:11Thank you very much.

0:12:11 > 0:12:14- Don't worry, I'm not here for you. - I'm not interested, all right?

0:12:14 > 0:12:16- I'm avoiding Lucy.- Whatever.

0:12:16 > 0:12:18- I said you'd speak to her dad. - I want her out.

0:12:18 > 0:12:21Hold on a minute, sweetheart. What do you mean, out?

0:12:21 > 0:12:22The food was really good.

0:12:22 > 0:12:24I don't want you working here, you're sacked.

0:12:24 > 0:12:26- SHIRLEY:- What? Is she the boss now? - I run this place.

0:12:26 > 0:12:28I decide who does and doesn't get to work here.

0:12:28 > 0:12:30Can we take this upstairs, please?

0:12:30 > 0:12:31I want her out of my pub.

0:12:31 > 0:12:34Your pub? You wouldn't even be here if it wasn't for me.

0:12:34 > 0:12:36Do we have to do this... Please, Mum....

0:12:36 > 0:12:38Don't you ever tell me how to behave in my pub.

0:12:38 > 0:12:40It's our pub, it's the family's.

0:12:40 > 0:12:43Yeah, exactly, our family, that's me, you and the kids -

0:12:43 > 0:12:45it don't include old Bagpuss here.

0:12:45 > 0:12:47Listen to it, kicking off.

0:12:47 > 0:12:50Just because she just found out that her precious little boy is gay?

0:12:54 > 0:12:57And it's no wonder, is it? With a mother like you.

0:13:04 > 0:13:06- I shouldn't have shouted at Peter like that.- He'll be fine.

0:13:06 > 0:13:08I'm having a go at him over Lola,

0:13:08 > 0:13:11- and then I'm shouting at him over carrots.- It's a difficult time...

0:13:11 > 0:13:12Yeah. Made worse by Phil.

0:13:12 > 0:13:14Oh, that's not fair.

0:13:14 > 0:13:17You can't blame him if you let stuff build up rather than deal with it.

0:13:17 > 0:13:20He's the one who's laying down the law, shouting the odds.

0:13:20 > 0:13:22- He's being protective. - Protective?

0:13:22 > 0:13:24Ian, come on, you know what he's like.

0:13:24 > 0:13:26If the two of you just talked, then...

0:13:26 > 0:13:28Yeah, right, like that's going to happen.

0:13:28 > 0:13:30I'm shouting at Peter, Cindy's due back,

0:13:30 > 0:13:34- and me and Denise, we're all over the place...- You can't pin that on Phil.

0:13:34 > 0:13:35I just want...

0:13:37 > 0:13:39I just want everything to be quiet.

0:13:39 > 0:13:42Everyone just to shut up. Just for two minutes.

0:13:42 > 0:13:44I just want some quiet, that's all.

0:13:52 > 0:13:54- Oh, sorry... - You looking for Carl?

0:13:54 > 0:13:56- Yeah, could I just...- No, love, he's not here. I've moved in now.

0:13:56 > 0:13:58- What? He's gone?- Well, if he ain't,

0:13:58 > 0:14:00he's playing a very good game of hide and seek up there.

0:14:00 > 0:14:02- Where, where's he gone? - I dunno.

0:14:02 > 0:14:04I heard he done a runner and I got lucky with the flat.

0:14:04 > 0:14:05And if you do see him,

0:14:05 > 0:14:08tell him he's got an unpaid electric bill, will you?

0:14:08 > 0:14:10Oi!

0:14:12 > 0:14:14You ain't got a bowl of sugar for a new neighbour?

0:14:14 > 0:14:16- You've moved in here? - Or some coffee?

0:14:16 > 0:14:19We could do that advert where I keep popping round.

0:14:19 > 0:14:21Why would you do this? Why have you moved into the Square?

0:14:21 > 0:14:22Because of you.

0:14:22 > 0:14:25I want to be close to you. I've done this for you and the kids.

0:14:25 > 0:14:28Well, I suggest get your deposit back, Terry, cos I'm not interested.

0:14:33 > 0:14:36Oi, stop pushing in. Vodka, please.

0:14:36 > 0:14:37With?

0:14:37 > 0:14:39Another vodka.

0:14:39 > 0:14:41What's wrong? Bad news?

0:14:41 > 0:14:42Yeah, something like that.

0:14:46 > 0:14:47You going to stop giving me evils or what?

0:14:50 > 0:14:53Nothing like a public outing to make a bloke feel good about himself.

0:14:53 > 0:14:54You done with that?

0:14:58 > 0:15:00- Mum... - Yes, handsome, what can I get you?

0:15:02 > 0:15:04You know, I love this pub.

0:15:04 > 0:15:06- That's lucky, innit? - I really do.

0:15:06 > 0:15:09You only have to walk in here and there's a familiar face.

0:15:09 > 0:15:10Listen. Stop.

0:15:12 > 0:15:14I love the Square. It's my home.

0:15:16 > 0:15:20Seriously, if you don't stop sulking I will punch you again.

0:15:20 > 0:15:22- Yeah?- That's on me.

0:15:25 > 0:15:26What are you doing?

0:15:26 > 0:15:27I want to see you.

0:15:31 > 0:15:33- What's the matter? - Mum.

0:15:33 > 0:15:34She'll get over it.

0:15:34 > 0:15:37Yeah, she was just bursting to hug me.

0:15:37 > 0:15:39What, and that's what you was expecting?

0:15:39 > 0:15:40Gordon Bennett, boy,

0:15:40 > 0:15:44you want to cut those apron strings before they strangle you.

0:15:47 > 0:15:49We agreed, you don't come in the pub.

0:15:49 > 0:15:50I ain't playing stupid games any more.

0:15:50 > 0:15:52My dad sees you, he will lose his nut.

0:15:52 > 0:15:54- I can handle him. - Of course you can.

0:15:54 > 0:15:56- We can't sneak about like this for ever.- I know.

0:15:56 > 0:15:58- We've just got to be a bit clever about it.- I ain't going nowhere.

0:15:58 > 0:16:01- Shut up.- I mean it. If I can't come up there, then I'm staying out here.

0:16:01 > 0:16:03- What?- The B&B over there.

0:16:03 > 0:16:05Don't be stupid.

0:16:05 > 0:16:07I've had you snatched away from me once,

0:16:07 > 0:16:09I ain't letting that happen again.

0:16:09 > 0:16:12I'm staying put and if your old man don't like it, he can stick it.

0:16:30 > 0:16:33- There you go, babe. - Cheers. Stick it down there.

0:16:34 > 0:16:36I was going to ask her to marry me.

0:16:36 > 0:16:40- Wow.- Yeah, I bought a ring and everything.

0:16:40 > 0:16:43A new one, not one of the ones I've had thrown back at me in the past.

0:16:43 > 0:16:46We've done pretty well between us.

0:16:46 > 0:16:49- I think the only people we haven't married is each other.- Funny, that.

0:16:49 > 0:16:50You were never my type.

0:16:50 > 0:16:53Oh! You fancied me rotten when we were spotty teenagers.

0:16:53 > 0:16:54No, that wasn't me.

0:16:54 > 0:16:56- Really?- Yeah.

0:16:56 > 0:17:00We went out together, don't forget, all those little poems...

0:17:00 > 0:17:03Look, I was a teenager, I fancied everyone.

0:17:04 > 0:17:07So you said "Was." "Was going to ask her."

0:17:09 > 0:17:10Yeah.

0:17:11 > 0:17:14At Christmas, it was going to be a surprise.

0:17:14 > 0:17:15She was, uh...

0:17:15 > 0:17:17talking to Patrick and he told her.

0:17:17 > 0:17:18Told her what?

0:17:18 > 0:17:22- Told her I was going to ask, so I backed off.- Why?

0:17:22 > 0:17:24If she knew I was going to ask, it wouldn't be a surprise,

0:17:24 > 0:17:26I wouldn't know if her response was genuine.

0:17:26 > 0:17:29- She'd only say yes if she wanted to. - I wouldn't know if she meant it.

0:17:29 > 0:17:31- Oh, Ian...- Sharon, all right, I'm not stupid, OK?

0:17:31 > 0:17:33I know I'm not some fantastic catch,

0:17:33 > 0:17:35but...I'm a good man, I am.

0:17:35 > 0:17:36Yeah, course you are.

0:17:37 > 0:17:39Well, has she said anything

0:17:39 > 0:17:42about knowing what you were going to do, hinted at it?

0:17:43 > 0:17:45I mean, to be honest, you and Denise,

0:17:45 > 0:17:48I don't think anyone saw that coming. I certainly didn't.

0:17:48 > 0:17:51- Yeah, I know. But it works. - It works?- Yeah.

0:17:51 > 0:17:54This is someone you were going to ask to marry you, not a new car.

0:17:55 > 0:17:56Well, do you love her?

0:17:58 > 0:18:01So, she knows you were going to ask her to marry you

0:18:01 > 0:18:02and she's said nothing?

0:18:04 > 0:18:08You need to confront it, not mope around feeling sorry for yourself.

0:18:08 > 0:18:10- Oh, thanks, you're supposed to be my mate.- I am your mate.

0:18:10 > 0:18:13So why are you telling me to go round there and chase her off?

0:18:13 > 0:18:14Ian, that is not what I mean.

0:18:14 > 0:18:16Why do you always have to turn things around,

0:18:16 > 0:18:18think everyone's against you?

0:18:18 > 0:18:19No wonder you got ill.

0:18:23 > 0:18:26Ian...Ian, I'm sorry, babe. I didn't mean that.

0:18:30 > 0:18:31Mick, I need those shifts back.

0:18:31 > 0:18:34Shouting your mouth off was hardly the brightest idea.

0:18:34 > 0:18:36Oh, come on, she's got a rod so far up her bum

0:18:36 > 0:18:38she could be a ride on the merry-go-round.

0:18:38 > 0:18:39It's a lot for her to deal with.

0:18:39 > 0:18:43Throwing your toys out of the pram, that's dealing with it, is it?

0:18:43 > 0:18:46I just don't need you gobbing off, it's not helping.

0:18:52 > 0:18:54There you are.

0:18:54 > 0:18:57Oh, big, successful brother in the building.

0:18:57 > 0:18:59I thought I might find you here.

0:18:59 > 0:19:04Brother, brother. My big brother.

0:19:04 > 0:19:07You know, getting drunk, that's not the way.

0:19:07 > 0:19:10Judge not lest ye be judged...

0:19:11 > 0:19:13Look, it doesn't matter. It was just an interview.

0:19:13 > 0:19:15- It's no big deal, there'll be others. - No, there won't.

0:19:15 > 0:19:18- There won't. - Don't be daft, of course there will.

0:19:18 > 0:19:20No. Not for a while.

0:19:22 > 0:19:23Why? Why wouldn't there be?

0:19:27 > 0:19:28Something bad's happened.

0:19:28 > 0:19:32Something really...bad.

0:19:34 > 0:19:35What?

0:19:37 > 0:19:40I was offered the job, the best job I've ever been offered.

0:19:46 > 0:19:48That's great news, isn't it?

0:19:52 > 0:19:53It's in Birmingham.

0:19:57 > 0:20:00Pete, give us one of them. Cheers.

0:20:00 > 0:20:01Oi. You all right?

0:20:01 > 0:20:04Guess what? Pops is going to treat us to a takeaway tonight...

0:20:04 > 0:20:06Are you sure he's all right about this,

0:20:06 > 0:20:09he's not just doing it cos he don't want to lose you?

0:20:09 > 0:20:12Yeah, maybe, but that's what families do, they help each other out.

0:20:13 > 0:20:15Yeah, not all family does, though.

0:20:15 > 0:20:18Well, let's tell him, yeah? Phil, come here.

0:20:21 > 0:20:23- I want to tell you something. - Tell me what?

0:20:25 > 0:20:28We want you to know that me and Peter are back together again.

0:20:30 > 0:20:31And here's some more news.

0:20:31 > 0:20:35We're going to be together properly, cos Pops asked Peter to move in.

0:20:35 > 0:20:36Didn't you, Pops?

0:20:45 > 0:20:48- Ian, I was only trying to help. - You think it's easy being me?

0:20:48 > 0:20:50I'm 44 and I'm scared of having my head shoved down the bog

0:20:50 > 0:20:52- by the bloke you reckon you love. - Ian, please...

0:20:52 > 0:20:54To top it all, I'm running around in circles scared

0:20:54 > 0:20:58- I'm going to have another breakdown. - Of course you're not.- Who knows?

0:20:58 > 0:21:01What I do know is Denise might not be that mad on me,

0:21:01 > 0:21:03she might not be the love of my life,

0:21:03 > 0:21:06but she's the one stable thing that I've got in my life.

0:21:07 > 0:21:09So I'm going to cling on to it.

0:21:15 > 0:21:16Phil, will you just listen to me?

0:21:16 > 0:21:18You should be putting a stop to it.

0:21:18 > 0:21:21- She's family.- Yeah, and Lexi's my family, ain't she?

0:21:21 > 0:21:24Oh, and you think this loser can provide for you, do you?

0:21:24 > 0:21:26- Yeah, I can. - He is not a loser.

0:21:26 > 0:21:27- Oh, do me a favour. - You know what?

0:21:27 > 0:21:29I don't even know why I'm even bothering with you

0:21:29 > 0:21:31because this is sorted, OK? Right, Pops?

0:21:31 > 0:21:34I'm not having my granddaughter brought up by a Beale.

0:21:34 > 0:21:36She's my granddaughter, she's my life

0:21:36 > 0:21:38and what was it you always tell me, Phil, eh?

0:21:38 > 0:21:41You never turn your back on your family.

0:21:41 > 0:21:44He is not...NOT moving in.

0:21:49 > 0:21:51Yeah, they look nice.

0:21:51 > 0:21:52Cute on her, wouldn't it?

0:21:52 > 0:21:54Wish I could wear...

0:21:57 > 0:22:00- I told you, I'm not interested. - You got any towels?

0:22:00 > 0:22:01- Towels?- Towels, yeah.

0:22:03 > 0:22:04Do I look like I sell towels?

0:22:04 > 0:22:07- So you don't do towels? - Are you having a laugh?

0:22:07 > 0:22:09- You've got no towels? - Are you for real?

0:22:09 > 0:22:11No, I don't do towels. No. I do not sell towels.

0:22:13 > 0:22:14Fair enough.

0:22:16 > 0:22:17We've got towels.

0:22:17 > 0:22:19Is that it? Is that you trying to win me round?

0:22:19 > 0:22:21Asking for towels?

0:22:21 > 0:22:22What are you playing at?

0:22:22 > 0:22:25The long game, son, the LONG game.

0:22:32 > 0:22:33Hello?

0:23:01 > 0:23:04Ah, just the lady. I was hoping I was going to catch you.

0:23:04 > 0:23:06Oh, yeah, the rent. Yeah, I'm good for it.

0:23:06 > 0:23:07No, no, no. This came for you.

0:23:09 > 0:23:11Not a late Christmas card, I take it?

0:23:13 > 0:23:15Divorce papers.

0:23:15 > 0:23:16Ah...

0:23:16 > 0:23:19Marriage - till death us do part.

0:23:19 > 0:23:20Or at least until the post turns up.

0:23:26 > 0:23:27TEXT MESSAGE ALERT SOUNDS

0:23:38 > 0:23:41We've had a good few punters for a Monday lunchtime.

0:23:41 > 0:23:43We'd have had more if we had some grub to serve them.

0:23:43 > 0:23:47Yeah, well, I think Nancy, she's got some good ideas on that.

0:23:52 > 0:23:53I know it's a shock.

0:23:53 > 0:23:54A shock?

0:23:55 > 0:23:57It's not a shock.

0:23:57 > 0:24:00- But, you know, all this... - That's the whole point...

0:24:00 > 0:24:01I knew.

0:24:04 > 0:24:06This...

0:24:06 > 0:24:08it's all because of me.

0:24:08 > 0:24:09What?

0:24:10 > 0:24:12- Don't be stupid. - He nearly died.

0:24:17 > 0:24:19I've never known pain like that...

0:24:21 > 0:24:22..seeing his little body...

0:24:25 > 0:24:26..just still.

0:24:28 > 0:24:32- Just so still... - I know. I know, darling, I know.

0:24:36 > 0:24:39And then he came back. Screaming.

0:24:41 > 0:24:45And that's when I knew, I knew I'd never let anything happen to him.

0:24:45 > 0:24:49I'd keep him so close, I wouldn't let anything hurt him.

0:24:49 > 0:24:50And nothing has.

0:24:51 > 0:24:53He's still our little boy.

0:24:54 > 0:24:55Him being gay, it doesn't matter.

0:24:55 > 0:24:57No, you don't get it.

0:24:58 > 0:25:01I've protected him his whole life, but men...

0:25:02 > 0:25:04- ..they'll hurt him.- Linda...

0:25:04 > 0:25:07He's sensitive, he's too accepting, you know,

0:25:07 > 0:25:09men will just take advantage of him.

0:25:10 > 0:25:13Nancy, right, she comes out fighting,

0:25:13 > 0:25:16like with Wayne and the others because I taught her that, you know,

0:25:16 > 0:25:18I taught her not to take any rubbish.

0:25:19 > 0:25:20But Johnny...

0:25:23 > 0:25:25..I don't want him getting hurt.

0:25:29 > 0:25:31Well, you're the only one hurting him.

0:25:37 > 0:25:39No.

0:25:42 > 0:25:43Don't do this.

0:25:46 > 0:25:47He needs us.

0:25:47 > 0:25:50No. I don't want a...

0:25:50 > 0:25:51a son like that.

0:25:53 > 0:25:55I don't have a son like that.

0:26:03 > 0:26:06Denise...will you...?

0:26:10 > 0:26:13Denise...should we...?

0:26:15 > 0:26:16DOOR OPENS

0:26:17 > 0:26:20- DOOR CLOSES - Ian.

0:26:20 > 0:26:21Jane?

0:26:25 > 0:26:28I should have called.

0:26:28 > 0:26:31No, it's fine. Come on through.

0:26:31 > 0:26:33I'm sorry, I didn't even knock, I just barged in.

0:26:33 > 0:26:37Yeah, it's just a bit of a surprise, that's all.

0:26:37 > 0:26:40Yeah, I was in London shopping and I thought, well, you know,

0:26:40 > 0:26:43- being so near and that. - Yeah. Right.

0:26:43 > 0:26:45I've just texted the kids,

0:26:45 > 0:26:51- Lucy's going to swipe Bobby out of school, if that's OK?- Fine.

0:26:51 > 0:26:54It's good to see you.

0:26:54 > 0:26:56And you.

0:26:59 > 0:27:04- You well? - Yeah, I'm good. But are you...?

0:27:04 > 0:27:07- Are you OK?- Yeah, I'm fine.

0:27:07 > 0:27:09Look, I can't stay for very long.

0:27:09 > 0:27:13Four toilets back there to bleach...

0:27:13 > 0:27:16Jane!

0:27:20 > 0:27:21L...

0:27:21 > 0:27:25Linda, we can't leave this hanging.

0:27:25 > 0:27:28There's nothing left to say. We got a pub to run.

0:27:28 > 0:27:33Right, which one of you handsome blokes needs serving?

0:27:33 > 0:27:36- Ah, well...- She did say handsome, so...- So, obviously...- Can I have...

0:27:36 > 0:27:39Come on, now, your LL Cool J moustache, man! Come on, man.

0:27:39 > 0:27:43- Like I said to Ian, I should have called.- No!

0:27:43 > 0:27:45No, it's fine.

0:27:47 > 0:27:51Look at me, stood here, where's my manners?

0:27:51 > 0:27:54- Tea. Yeah? You want a tea? - Yeah, that sounds great.

0:27:54 > 0:27:58Right. I'll stick the kettle on.

0:27:58 > 0:28:01Oh! You got a new kettle.

0:28:01 > 0:28:05Yeah, sorry, the old one weren't up to the job, was it, Ian?

0:28:05 > 0:28:08- No.- Kept cutting out before it boiled.

0:28:10 > 0:28:13So, Ian never told me that you were coming.

0:28:13 > 0:28:17He didn't know. I just took a chance and popped in.

0:28:17 > 0:28:21Well, Jane, eh? Jane! Back in Walford!

0:28:21 > 0:28:24The place looks exactly the same. Nothing changes, eh?

0:28:24 > 0:28:26I tell you what, it's great, it's great to see you.

0:28:29 > 0:28:31Mum!

0:28:31 > 0:28:34Here you are! Oh!

0:28:34 > 0:28:37Look at you!

0:28:37 > 0:28:41You seem to grow a foot every couple of months, don't you?

0:28:44 > 0:28:47So, what do you mean you're going to turn it down?

0:28:47 > 0:28:49I don't want to go to Birmingham.

0:28:49 > 0:28:52Well, you must have known where the job was?

0:28:52 > 0:28:54They're a big national firm.

0:28:54 > 0:28:58They offered me something different to what I was being interviewed for.

0:28:58 > 0:29:00Something better or something worse?

0:29:00 > 0:29:04Better, a lot better.

0:29:04 > 0:29:07I applied for a mechanic at their Camden set-up,

0:29:07 > 0:29:10and they offered me assistant garage manager.

0:29:10 > 0:29:13- I've never assistant managed... - You've never assisted anybody.

0:29:13 > 0:29:16Yeah!

0:29:16 > 0:29:18No, but that's good, isn't it?

0:29:18 > 0:29:21I mean, Syed, Christian, Yasmin, they'd love having you around.

0:29:21 > 0:29:24I mean, they love chaos. They love mess.

0:29:24 > 0:29:28AJ CHUCKLES

0:29:28 > 0:29:32I wasn't planning on packing my bags and going...

0:29:32 > 0:29:37I like it here...with you.

0:29:39 > 0:29:41So, it's a letting agency?

0:29:41 > 0:29:44Not just that, it's like commercial properties,

0:29:44 > 0:29:46really expensive ones as well.

0:29:46 > 0:29:50And I run the whole business with Billy Mitchell.

0:29:50 > 0:29:52So, I guess I'm in charge, really.

0:29:52 > 0:29:55It sounds brilliant. So, you're enjoying it?

0:29:55 > 0:29:58- Are you going to stay for something to eat?- Oh, I'm not sure, Denise...

0:29:58 > 0:30:01Yeah, I really love it. Negotiating with customers and making deals.

0:30:01 > 0:30:03You sound just like your dad.

0:30:03 > 0:30:08Except it's not just chips and bacon, it's real business.

0:30:08 > 0:30:12Well, you do look the part, Lucy. Very young businesswoman, isn't she?

0:30:13 > 0:30:18- Here he is, Mr Handsome. - Come here, Jane!

0:30:21 > 0:30:25You know what, I think I better be getting back to the B&B.

0:30:25 > 0:30:28Oh, really? I'd love to catch up more. Will I see you before I go?

0:30:28 > 0:30:30Yeah. Well, it depends on how long you're staying,

0:30:30 > 0:30:34because Kim's away, and things are pretty full-on over there.

0:30:34 > 0:30:37But it's been good. It's been really good to see you.

0:30:37 > 0:30:39(Thanks.)

0:30:41 > 0:30:47- I miss you.- Well, I miss you more!

0:30:47 > 0:30:50You know, I don't know what's wrong with Billy, but I'm telling you,

0:30:50 > 0:30:53- he ain't going to get nowhere fast. - Says Audley Harrison!

0:30:53 > 0:30:56Oh, what, don't start all that! I'm talking about him, not me.

0:30:56 > 0:30:59- You know what, top marks for trying, Bill.- Leave it out, will you?

0:30:59 > 0:31:01No, seriously, man, respect where respect is due.

0:31:01 > 0:31:03Respect for what? What's he done?

0:31:03 > 0:31:06It's more what he hasn't done, brother.

0:31:06 > 0:31:08Sorry about them. Idiots.

0:31:08 > 0:31:11He doesn't know when to quit does he, sweetie?

0:31:11 > 0:31:14I don't know, if ever there was a bloke could turn a girl...

0:31:14 > 0:31:16- Oh, whatever.- Billy?

0:31:16 > 0:31:18I won't embarrass the bloke by going into detail,

0:31:18 > 0:31:20but put it this way,

0:31:20 > 0:31:24there's more to Billy than meets the eye, if you know what I mean?

0:31:28 > 0:31:30What?

0:31:31 > 0:31:35I don't think you should be watching that any more. No, I don't.

0:31:35 > 0:31:39Aren't you going to stay?

0:31:39 > 0:31:41No, I need to get back to the restaurant.

0:31:41 > 0:31:45- Jane's only going to be here for a bit.- Yeah, she came to see you kids.

0:31:45 > 0:31:48If I don't see you before you go, it was good seeing you.

0:31:48 > 0:31:51- I'm not rushing off.- You're staying?

0:31:51 > 0:31:53Yeah, for a bit...

0:31:53 > 0:31:54Can Mum stay, Dad?

0:31:54 > 0:31:58Yeah, but she's only here for a little while.

0:31:58 > 0:32:04- Peter, why don't you tell Jane about you moving out?- Eh? What's this?

0:32:04 > 0:32:08It was good seeing you again.

0:32:14 > 0:32:17Oh, for crying out loud!

0:32:17 > 0:32:19- Oh!- You want a hand?

0:32:19 > 0:32:21Er, there is a bell!

0:32:21 > 0:32:23- I'm looking for a room.- Single?

0:32:23 > 0:32:26Funny you should mention that...

0:32:26 > 0:32:29Er, sorry. Yeah, single's good.

0:32:29 > 0:32:33- OK. How long you staying for? - As long as it takes.

0:32:33 > 0:32:37Right. Stupid thing! Come on!

0:32:37 > 0:32:41- Not your day, I take it? - Don't ask!

0:32:41 > 0:32:43Anywhere I can get a drink around here?

0:32:43 > 0:32:46Yeah, there's a pub just across the Square.

0:32:46 > 0:32:49Yeah, I was thinking more somewhere without an overprotective dad

0:32:49 > 0:32:53and a shotgun. Not really my day either.

0:32:53 > 0:32:56Not my week, if I'm honest.

0:32:56 > 0:32:59No, that's fine, mate. I can come to you.

0:32:59 > 0:33:01Don't know. About a half hour?

0:33:01 > 0:33:05All right, I'll see you then. All right, cheers. Bye.

0:33:10 > 0:33:13That's your copy, innit? I've already got mine.

0:33:13 > 0:33:16So, I sign this, and that's it, it's done.

0:33:16 > 0:33:19Yep, get them signed, put them in the post for me.

0:33:19 > 0:33:22So, divorce papers, then we're finished?

0:33:22 > 0:33:25Well, yeah, that's generally how it works.

0:33:25 > 0:33:28But it won't, will it, Max?

0:33:28 > 0:33:33We've already tried signing the last set of papers.

0:33:33 > 0:33:35We can sign all the documents going,

0:33:35 > 0:33:38but it won't change what we've got.

0:33:38 > 0:33:42It'll always be there.

0:33:42 > 0:33:44Me and you.

0:33:45 > 0:33:47Always.

0:33:50 > 0:33:53You coming out, or am I going to lock you in?

0:34:11 > 0:34:14I've got say, sweetheart, you've got a bit of a crowd in here.

0:34:14 > 0:34:16Just picking up on what you set up, sweetheart.

0:34:16 > 0:34:20- Go on, on the house, those two. - Cheers.- Lovely. Thank you.

0:34:22 > 0:34:24NANCY CLEARS HER THROAT

0:34:24 > 0:34:27- Enjoying the view? - No, we're just having a drink.

0:34:27 > 0:34:30- I don't know what you're talking about.- She's older than she looks.

0:34:30 > 0:34:32Yeah, but she has got some serious circumference, man.

0:34:32 > 0:34:36- Wow, that's my mum! - Eyes up, Fats, man, come on!

0:34:36 > 0:34:38Do you reckon it's true what they say,

0:34:38 > 0:34:40about the daughter and the mother, you know?

0:34:40 > 0:34:42Hold tight. Wait. You and Miss Fisticuffs?

0:34:42 > 0:34:45Are you serious? You don't? You do!

0:34:45 > 0:34:47Listen, I know you're under it in here.

0:34:47 > 0:34:50If you want to go and get a bit of fresh air, just let me know, yeah?

0:34:50 > 0:34:52Same again, was it?

0:34:56 > 0:34:58He's still the same boy.

0:34:58 > 0:35:02Same again, sweetheart?

0:35:02 > 0:35:05- So, how are you going to manage? - We just will.

0:35:05 > 0:35:07He's all loved-up - what else matters?

0:35:07 > 0:35:10Er, council tax, food bills, electric...

0:35:10 > 0:35:12That's why we're moving in with Billy first,

0:35:12 > 0:35:15- till I get some more money coming in.- And how's the stall going?

0:35:15 > 0:35:17Yeah, it's all right, actually.

0:35:17 > 0:35:20I mean, there's a bit of competition from those Pound A Bowl stalls

0:35:20 > 0:35:22up on the high street, but, yeah, it's not too bad.

0:35:22 > 0:35:24Apart from you close up early to see me?

0:35:24 > 0:35:28Yeah, well, some things are more important.

0:35:28 > 0:35:32Yeah, yeah, they are.

0:35:52 > 0:35:54I stood there like some idiot.

0:35:54 > 0:35:57It's not as though she's not old enough to make her own decisions.

0:35:57 > 0:35:59- Thank you. - Well, you're both grown-ups.

0:35:59 > 0:36:00Try telling that to her old man.

0:36:00 > 0:36:03Coming in, telling us what we can and can't do.

0:36:03 > 0:36:04Tell you what, at the end of the day,

0:36:04 > 0:36:07the only people you've got to be true to is yourselves.

0:36:07 > 0:36:09- That's why I'm staying put. - Good for you.

0:36:09 > 0:36:12Life's too short to spend it worrying what other people think.

0:36:12 > 0:36:15What is it that you young people say, you say...

0:36:15 > 0:36:16YOLO.

0:36:16 > 0:36:20- Yeah, you only live once, innit? - Exactly.

0:36:20 > 0:36:23It's like my sister, Kim. She's always...

0:36:23 > 0:36:26wading in, telling me what she thinks of my fella.

0:36:26 > 0:36:30As if I care that he's not the most...

0:36:30 > 0:36:33exciting man in the world.

0:36:33 > 0:36:36He's a kind man.

0:36:36 > 0:36:38And don't you start, because you don't even know him.

0:36:38 > 0:36:42I ain't starting nothing.

0:36:42 > 0:36:44So, what's Denise said? Is she worried about him?

0:36:44 > 0:36:47Denise is Denise.

0:36:47 > 0:36:49What are you going to say to him?

0:36:49 > 0:36:51To be honest...

0:36:51 > 0:36:53I don't know.

0:37:04 > 0:37:06I need another drink.

0:37:06 > 0:37:07Will you pack it in?

0:37:07 > 0:37:10Just because you don't need to take the edge off your life.

0:37:10 > 0:37:12Everything's always perfect with me!

0:37:16 > 0:37:22AJ, you made a New Year's resolution to find a new job and you have.

0:37:22 > 0:37:27- A new job doesn't necessarily mean a better life.- AJ!

0:37:27 > 0:37:30OK, you're a grown-up.

0:37:30 > 0:37:32I'm not your dad. You do what you want.

0:37:32 > 0:37:35If you think getting drunk is a way of dealing with this,

0:37:35 > 0:37:37you're a bigger fool than I thought.

0:37:50 > 0:37:52Seriously, come on...

0:37:52 > 0:37:54- I knew it wouldn't take him long. - What?

0:37:54 > 0:37:56My dad and arm wrestling - it's going to be a long night.

0:37:56 > 0:37:59- Pipe down.- Do me a favour, mate, I wouldn't want to hurt you.

0:37:59 > 0:38:00I'm undefeated, all right?

0:38:00 > 0:38:02I've beat geezers who are built like brick walls

0:38:02 > 0:38:05and I'll tell you for why. It's all in the nut.

0:38:05 > 0:38:07Right, I'll tell you what. We'll do it another time, yeah?

0:38:07 > 0:38:09What's the matter with you? Dexter and Fatboy!

0:38:09 > 0:38:13You look like semi-strong lads! Get yourself over here.

0:38:15 > 0:38:17- White wine. - I think you're in trouble, boys.

0:38:19 > 0:38:24All right. Sit down there.

0:38:24 > 0:38:27Everybody. Dexter and Fatboy. Arm wrestle. What do you reckon?

0:38:27 > 0:38:30- What? OK, come, come... - Lads, eh?

0:38:30 > 0:38:33I know. It's times like this I appreciate my life choices.

0:38:33 > 0:38:38You don't see many arm-wrestling dy...gay ladies, do you?

0:38:38 > 0:38:41- Lesbians?- Yeah, and them.

0:38:41 > 0:38:45No, but I know a few diesels who'd give these a run for their money.

0:38:45 > 0:38:48One arm behind your back.

0:38:48 > 0:38:51Let me buy you a drink?

0:38:51 > 0:38:52And why would I do that?

0:38:52 > 0:38:55Because you want me to sign the papers,

0:38:55 > 0:38:59and I want a quick drink before I do.

0:38:59 > 0:39:02- Stick another one in there, will ya? - All set?- Come on, Fats!

0:39:02 > 0:39:05- Nice one, Alf. - Look, Fats, listen. Boy to boy.

0:39:05 > 0:39:08- Please, just let me win?- You must be mad, innit.- Whatever you say.

0:39:08 > 0:39:10Shush! The pair of you.

0:39:10 > 0:39:12Shush. Ready...

0:39:12 > 0:39:15Set... Wrestle.

0:39:15 > 0:39:19- Boom!- I weren't ready!

0:39:19 > 0:39:23- Do you know what? I'm left-handed. - Come on, Dexter. Come on, Dexter.

0:39:29 > 0:39:30Ian?

0:39:33 > 0:39:36So, this is the new centre of the Beale empire, is it?

0:39:36 > 0:39:39Yeah.

0:39:39 > 0:39:41Scarlett's?

0:39:41 > 0:39:44- Yeah.- Because....?

0:39:44 > 0:39:47Well, it's complicated.

0:39:47 > 0:39:50Didn't the club across the road used to be called Scarlett's?

0:39:50 > 0:39:51Yeah.

0:39:51 > 0:39:53Fair enough. It's a bit random, but...

0:39:53 > 0:39:55I'd have probably gone a bit more with the location.

0:39:55 > 0:39:58- Turpin's or something like that. - Turpin's?

0:39:58 > 0:40:02Well, certainly not Scarlett's. It's not quite what I expected.

0:40:02 > 0:40:04In what way?

0:40:04 > 0:40:06Out there in the restaurant, it's a bit...

0:40:06 > 0:40:09The colour, the decor. Those lamps... I mean, what are they about?

0:40:09 > 0:40:12- And the linen, really?- Right, so I take it you don't like it?

0:40:12 > 0:40:15- It's not very you. - Well, what is me?

0:40:15 > 0:40:18You tell me.

0:40:21 > 0:40:24- Why are you here, Jane? - Peter called me.

0:40:28 > 0:40:33- Elbows, Alfie, elbows. - Go on, Alfie! Slam him!

0:40:33 > 0:40:36Come on, Fats, man! Grit your teeth!

0:40:36 > 0:40:40COME ON! COME ON!

0:40:40 > 0:40:42He's going to be gutted he lost.

0:40:42 > 0:40:44I reckon he's got his eye on your niece.

0:40:44 > 0:40:47Even though she knocked him into the middle of next week?

0:40:47 > 0:40:48I think that's what did it for him.

0:40:48 > 0:40:50Well, he ain't got a chance, has he? She's all loved-up.

0:40:50 > 0:40:53With a bloke? I mean, I'm assuming she's not another one of your mob?

0:40:53 > 0:40:58No, no, it's just the two of us in our family.

0:40:58 > 0:41:01- So, that's 2-1 to the Carters, innit?- What?

0:41:01 > 0:41:04Well, you Mitchells, just got Ben? Unless my hunch about Phil's right.

0:41:04 > 0:41:06Well, I wouldn't say that too loud in here!

0:41:06 > 0:41:08All the signs are there, ain't they?

0:41:08 > 0:41:10You know, the shaved head, the "bit of rough" look.

0:41:10 > 0:41:15You want to check his CD collection - any Judy Garland... Just saying!

0:41:15 > 0:41:19Oh, yeah? Come on, respect, Bill.

0:41:19 > 0:41:24- Eh? What was that all about? - Ain't got a clue.

0:41:24 > 0:41:27FATBOY GRUNTS

0:41:27 > 0:41:30SHOUTING AND CHEERING

0:41:30 > 0:41:33Who's the daddy? Eh, Fats?

0:41:33 > 0:41:36Mick. Let's have it.

0:41:36 > 0:41:39Yeah. Got to hold my hands up there.

0:41:39 > 0:41:41I tell you what, listen. Let's liven it up, right?

0:41:41 > 0:41:43We'll have some readies on it.

0:41:43 > 0:41:46Head to heads, who's up for it? Come on. Readies. Come on.

0:41:46 > 0:41:50I'll give it a go, if you promise not to stop when I say I submit.

0:41:50 > 0:41:53Sorry, love, I don't do tag wrestling.

0:41:53 > 0:41:55Oh, don't look at me, darling, he's big enough

0:41:55 > 0:41:56and ugly enough to look after himself.

0:41:56 > 0:41:59Come on. Who's up for it? Put your hand in your pocket.

0:41:59 > 0:42:02What's happening. Let's get involved.

0:42:02 > 0:42:05CHEERING

0:42:05 > 0:42:09Go on, Shirl. Go on, Shirl. Right. Challenger for my sister.

0:42:09 > 0:42:11Who's up for it? Come on.

0:42:11 > 0:42:15Come on, then. Whoa, hold up. Hold up.

0:42:15 > 0:42:18- That's fine by me.- Don't. Don't do this.

0:42:18 > 0:42:21Why not? It's not like I'm going to break her arm or anything.

0:42:21 > 0:42:23Dad, just stop them.

0:42:23 > 0:42:25If she is as strong as she is hot like fire, brother,

0:42:25 > 0:42:28- this is going to be over quickly. - Will you pack it in when I'm around?

0:42:28 > 0:42:31- It's him not me, you know.- Hey, it's her circumference, you know.

0:42:31 > 0:42:33She's old enough to be your mum - she IS my mum.

0:42:33 > 0:42:36Maybe back in the day, when she was flopping them out in the papers.

0:42:36 > 0:42:38- What did you say? - One minute, what did you say?

0:42:40 > 0:42:44If I win, I get my job back.

0:42:44 > 0:42:47I win, you move out.

0:42:50 > 0:42:54Ready... Set...

0:42:54 > 0:42:56Wrestle.

0:42:56 > 0:42:59CHEERING

0:43:02 > 0:43:05So, since when is how I'm doing a concern of yours?

0:43:05 > 0:43:08- I care about you, Ian. - Yeah, I remember how much.

0:43:08 > 0:43:12I don't need my son calling you, telling tales.

0:43:12 > 0:43:15Peter didn't call me to tell tales - he called me because he loves you.

0:43:15 > 0:43:17As do all your kids, and they are worried about you.

0:43:17 > 0:43:20Right, so you drop everything and just turn up here?

0:43:20 > 0:43:24To do what, Jane? I mean, why are you here?

0:43:24 > 0:43:26To let you know you're not alone.

0:43:26 > 0:43:28To make sure you know that your kids love you,

0:43:28 > 0:43:30that your friends are concerned about you.

0:43:30 > 0:43:32And I still care that you're OK.

0:43:32 > 0:43:34I'm fine, OK?

0:43:34 > 0:43:37I am. I'm busy, which is good.

0:43:37 > 0:43:40I'm always chasing my tail. You know what I'm like.

0:43:40 > 0:43:42But it's pressure, all right? It's not stress.

0:43:42 > 0:43:44I mean, stress is when you're not in control.

0:43:44 > 0:43:48But I am in control. Sometimes, there's times when I'm pressured...

0:43:48 > 0:43:49but I'm in control...

0:43:55 > 0:43:57You know, don't you?

0:44:07 > 0:44:08Come on, Shirl!

0:44:08 > 0:44:11- All right, Mickey, fiver on your sister?- Go on, Shirl.

0:44:11 > 0:44:14Can't take your money, mate, because who ever wins, I'm stuffed.

0:44:14 > 0:44:16What do you reckon?

0:44:16 > 0:44:18We could have our own little wrestle if you like...

0:44:18 > 0:44:20I'd let you win.

0:44:20 > 0:44:23- I have got nothing.- Try typing in "topless" or something.

0:44:23 > 0:44:26I've typed in "topless", I've typed in "naked", I got nothing...

0:44:26 > 0:44:29- What you guys up to?- We're trying to search for the treasure.- You what?

0:44:29 > 0:44:31Yeah, supposedly Nancy reckons her mum used to do

0:44:31 > 0:44:33- a bit of topless modelling, bruv. - Shut up!

0:44:33 > 0:44:35Yeah, but we can't find the pictures anywhere!

0:44:35 > 0:44:38Yeah, we just keep finding pictures of Lynda Carter, Wonder Woman.

0:44:38 > 0:44:41Yep, I remember that. Saturday nights, back in the day.

0:44:41 > 0:44:43I used to watch both of them. Right, here's the deal.

0:44:43 > 0:44:45Last one to find them has to buy the other two drinks. Go.

0:44:58 > 0:45:01You still here? Come on.

0:45:01 > 0:45:04Come home, before Ian starts charging you rent.

0:45:04 > 0:45:07I thought you weren't my dad.

0:45:07 > 0:45:10No, but I am your big brother.

0:45:10 > 0:45:13Yeah, and you won't let me forget it.

0:45:13 > 0:45:15I wouldn't be doing my duty if I did.

0:45:18 > 0:45:20So, this job, good money?

0:45:20 > 0:45:22- Yeah.- Cheaper cost of living?

0:45:22 > 0:45:25Probably.

0:45:25 > 0:45:28Tam and I don't want you to go -

0:45:28 > 0:45:31as annoying as you are,

0:45:31 > 0:45:34it's been great having you here.

0:45:34 > 0:45:38So, there's only one way to decide this...

0:45:38 > 0:45:42It's how you used to decide everything.

0:45:42 > 0:45:46Big decision, you toss a coin.

0:45:49 > 0:45:55AJ, I only want what's best for you.

0:45:55 > 0:46:00Heads, you stay, tails, you go.

0:46:06 > 0:46:08So, what's it to be?

0:46:08 > 0:46:12Walford and the same old or Birmingham and who knows what?

0:46:14 > 0:46:18- Heads, I stay, tails, I go? - Yeah.

0:46:35 > 0:46:40Tails, I go.

0:46:40 > 0:46:43Looks like I'm going to Birmingham.

0:46:50 > 0:46:52You know,

0:46:52 > 0:46:56- I'm with someone and guess what? - What?

0:46:56 > 0:47:01His name's Ian, only it's spelt with an extra I.

0:47:01 > 0:47:05That's obviously where I went wrong, then!

0:47:05 > 0:47:09Is he nice? Well, obviously he's nice.

0:47:11 > 0:47:14- You and Denise, I didn't see that coming.- No, me neither.

0:47:14 > 0:47:17I'm really pleased you're with her, though.

0:47:17 > 0:47:21- She's good with the kids. - That's good.

0:47:22 > 0:47:25Yeah, it's good.

0:47:25 > 0:47:27All good.

0:47:31 > 0:47:35- Yeah, it's good we're all happy, isn't it?- Yeah.

0:47:39 > 0:47:40I'd better go.

0:47:40 > 0:47:42Yeah, I've got a restaurant to run.

0:47:42 > 0:47:45- Some important critic coming or something?- Bloggers.

0:47:45 > 0:47:48Bloggers? Right, well, good luck with that.

0:47:48 > 0:47:52My car's parked in the Square. I'll pop in and say bye to the kids.

0:47:52 > 0:47:55Yeah, OK.

0:47:55 > 0:47:57It's good to see you.

0:48:00 > 0:48:01And you.

0:48:02 > 0:48:04Are you OK?

0:48:09 > 0:48:11Bye.

0:48:30 > 0:48:33- What's this? The search party? - Peter said you might have gone, Mum.

0:48:36 > 0:48:38Love, I do have to leave now.

0:48:38 > 0:48:42But I wouldn't go without saying bye to my best boy, would I?

0:48:47 > 0:48:49Bobby, we should let Jane go.

0:48:51 > 0:48:53Well, I need to find my car.

0:48:53 > 0:48:56Hope it hasn't been towed or clamped or something.

0:48:56 > 0:49:01I'll see you soon. I promise.

0:49:01 > 0:49:03Come on, we'll see her soon.

0:49:11 > 0:49:14Is Dad all right?

0:49:14 > 0:49:17It's not me he needs, Peter.

0:49:17 > 0:49:18What do you mean?

0:49:18 > 0:49:22I mean, you've got to deal with this as a family. And I am...

0:49:24 > 0:49:29He's with Denise now, she's the one you need to turn to, not me.

0:49:44 > 0:49:46Ian?

0:49:54 > 0:49:57SHE SIGHS

0:50:41 > 0:50:44Max, why pretend like it's not going to happen, eh?

0:50:44 > 0:50:47Kirsty, please just back off, all right?

0:50:47 > 0:50:50It ain't going to happen. We're done!

0:50:56 > 0:50:58Tanya said you'd traded down.

0:51:04 > 0:51:07- Oh, are you the bloggers?- Yeah! - Sorry, I've had to close early.

0:51:07 > 0:51:09- Hold on!- We've been invited!

0:51:09 > 0:51:13- So, when did you last see her? - At Christmas.

0:51:16 > 0:51:18Move, move, move!

0:51:22 > 0:51:24Is she OK?

0:51:24 > 0:51:29She's more than OK, Max. She's good.

0:51:29 > 0:51:32Wait!

0:51:32 > 0:51:35She's with someone.

0:51:37 > 0:51:38Right.

0:51:38 > 0:51:42This one's a keeper. Someone that treats her like she deserves.

0:52:02 > 0:52:05What's the matter, Crowface, nothing left?

0:52:05 > 0:52:08- Oh, I could do this all night. - No-one's watching.

0:52:08 > 0:52:11There's nothing wrong with you backing down, calling it a draw...

0:52:11 > 0:52:14What's this, the naughty corner or something?

0:52:14 > 0:52:17No, no, just browsing... The boys were going on about Linda...

0:52:17 > 0:52:19doing a Page Three kind of thing...

0:52:19 > 0:52:22But we can't find the picture.

0:52:25 > 0:52:29Here he is... Maximus Branning!

0:52:29 > 0:52:32Mick, it's all right, mate. I got this. Let's go.

0:52:32 > 0:52:35- What are you doing? You rescuing me? - Yeah, I am, yeah. Let's go.

0:52:35 > 0:52:37Nancy, sort this out for me, please.

0:52:39 > 0:52:42- Right, it's a draw. - What did you do that for?

0:52:42 > 0:52:45- I was just about to win! - Oh, wind it in.

0:52:45 > 0:52:47No, you wind it in, all right? The pair of you.

0:52:47 > 0:52:51No-one's interested. It's done. Shirley's back on the rota.

0:52:51 > 0:52:52Listen to me, listen.

0:52:52 > 0:52:54She's going to stop spouting off,

0:52:54 > 0:52:57and you are going to leave her alone.

0:52:57 > 0:53:01Let's focus on serving some punters, please?

0:53:01 > 0:53:03Yes? Ladies and gentlemen, who ain't got a drink?

0:53:03 > 0:53:07- Bobby, your bath's ready. - I just want to finish this.

0:53:07 > 0:53:11No, you're having a bath now...

0:53:11 > 0:53:14Hiya.

0:53:14 > 0:53:18I, er...

0:53:18 > 0:53:22Was this for me?

0:53:22 > 0:53:24Yeah.

0:53:24 > 0:53:26Yes.

0:53:32 > 0:53:34I will marry you.

0:53:40 > 0:53:41SHE SIGHS

0:53:41 > 0:53:43I am in need of a coffee. You all right?

0:53:45 > 0:53:46You all right?

0:53:48 > 0:53:51You've got to be kidding me? What, is she upstairs right now?

0:53:51 > 0:53:54Well, unless she walked back to the B&B in her bare feet.

0:53:54 > 0:53:56Her shoes are in the living room.

0:53:56 > 0:53:57SHE SCOFFS

0:53:57 > 0:53:59No, please do not say anything, though, Lauren.

0:53:59 > 0:54:01I can't face a row.

0:54:01 > 0:54:02And he accuses me of being immature!

0:54:06 > 0:54:11Wow. One of the nicest ones you've bought, Dad. Congratulations(!)

0:54:11 > 0:54:13- Did I not say? - Yes, you did, yeah.

0:54:13 > 0:54:16- Say what?- That you'd come out with something cynical.

0:54:16 > 0:54:19I wonder if my last bridesmaid's dress will still fit?

0:54:19 > 0:54:20Eh, who says you're even invited?

0:54:21 > 0:54:23Anyway, it's not that big a deal.

0:54:23 > 0:54:27Just think of it as our last desperate stab

0:54:27 > 0:54:28at some sort of respectability.

0:54:29 > 0:54:32- When's the engagement party? - Who said we're having a party?

0:54:32 > 0:54:35Actually that's not a bad idea, Lucy. I think we should do that.

0:54:35 > 0:54:37I'm going to call Mick, see if we can book the Vic.

0:54:37 > 0:54:39How much is that going to cost?

0:54:40 > 0:54:41I'm off to work.

0:54:42 > 0:54:45You know, I am actually pleased.

0:54:45 > 0:54:49Out of all my mums, you're definitely...

0:54:49 > 0:54:50in the top three.

0:54:50 > 0:54:54Well, you're my third favourite daughter, so that makes us quits.

0:54:54 > 0:54:56See ya.

0:55:03 > 0:55:05Aw, hello, you! Who's a beautiful boy?

0:55:05 > 0:55:07It's a girl.

0:55:07 > 0:55:10- Oh, sorry. Don't take it personally. - She clearly likes you.

0:55:10 > 0:55:12Normally she's very choosy about who she licks.

0:55:12 > 0:55:15- Aren't you?- Yeah, well, I'll take that as a compliment.

0:55:15 > 0:55:18- What's going on here? - He's just given me a flyer.

0:55:18 > 0:55:20Looks more camp than the Girl Guides, if you ask me.

0:55:20 > 0:55:22- SHE GASPS - Looks well exciting!

0:55:22 > 0:55:24Really? Not really my cup of tea.

0:55:24 > 0:55:26Anyway, I'll see you. Bye-bye, girl.

0:55:27 > 0:55:31Excuse me, can I have a couple of them flyers?

0:55:31 > 0:55:32Course you can, darling, there you go.

0:55:32 > 0:55:36Nah, that's all right, mate. No, no, it is what it is.

0:55:36 > 0:55:38All right, see you later.

0:55:39 > 0:55:41Lauren, I've got a favour to ask you.

0:55:41 > 0:55:43David's just called, he's got to slope off.

0:55:43 > 0:55:45I've got to go to a car auction, so I need

0:55:45 > 0:55:48someone to keep an eye on the car lot, if that's all right?

0:55:48 > 0:55:49Is that all right?

0:55:51 > 0:55:53- I like your jacket. - Lauren, don't.

0:55:53 > 0:55:55The colour's a little bit dated, but whatever.

0:55:55 > 0:55:57No, that's all right. Go on, Lauren.

0:55:57 > 0:55:59You got something to say, Lauren, just say it.

0:55:59 > 0:56:01- Guys, do we have to...?- When were you going to tell us, then, eh?

0:56:01 > 0:56:05Probably about the same time you were going to tell me about Mum's new fella.

0:56:05 > 0:56:08Yeah, and don't pretend you don't know, cos I saw Jane. She told me.

0:56:10 > 0:56:14Hiya. Any of you two got a hairdryer you can lend me?

0:56:14 > 0:56:16- Sure.- Lauren's got a problem with you staying over last night.

0:56:16 > 0:56:18- Dad! I didn't say that. - No big deal, is it?

0:56:18 > 0:56:21Geezer sleeps with his lawfully-wedded wife?

0:56:23 > 0:56:25You going to watch the car lot for me or not?

0:56:27 > 0:56:28I'll get you that hairdryer.

0:56:49 > 0:56:51- How did you know?! - So I'm right then?

0:56:51 > 0:56:54- No, how did you know? - Call it male intuition.

0:56:54 > 0:56:56Seriously, did we say anything?

0:56:56 > 0:56:59Didn't have to. You were so shocked, and not upset.

0:56:59 > 0:57:02Well, not in that way. So I put two and two together...

0:57:02 > 0:57:03Well, I got two.

0:57:05 > 0:57:07Thanks. But don't go spreading it around, will you?

0:57:07 > 0:57:09- No, course not. - You're all right, you are.

0:57:09 > 0:57:11- Tell madam that. - She still saying no?

0:57:11 > 0:57:14I'm playing the long game. Slowly, slowly, catchy monkey.

0:57:14 > 0:57:16SHE LAUGHS What time do you call this?

0:57:16 > 0:57:17What's that you've just give her?

0:57:17 > 0:57:20- I didn't.- Yes, you did, I just saw you!- I didn't.

0:57:20 > 0:57:23Look, forget that. He wants to take you out, but he's too scared.

0:57:24 > 0:57:27- I never said that! - Where to, where to?

0:57:27 > 0:57:30I dunno. Round mine if you like?

0:57:30 > 0:57:32- I got a new telly. - I've got me own telly!

0:57:34 > 0:57:36I'll work on her.

0:57:36 > 0:57:37Mmm.

0:57:39 > 0:57:40- Here you go. - Thanks, Abi.

0:57:40 > 0:57:43I'll put it back in your bedroom soon as I've finished with it.

0:57:43 > 0:57:46- Yeah, well, I'm going to go. So I'll see you later.- OK.

0:57:46 > 0:57:48- See you later, Abs.- See ya.

0:57:49 > 0:57:50SHE SIGHS

0:57:52 > 0:57:55This is where we say, "Alone at last."

0:57:55 > 0:57:58Actually, I've got all these e-mails to catch up on.

0:57:58 > 0:58:00Come on, we can go back upstairs.

0:58:00 > 0:58:02And this time we can make as much noise as we like.

0:58:04 > 0:58:06You know you want to.

0:58:06 > 0:58:08Actually, I need to get to work.

0:58:08 > 0:58:10You need to dry your hair, don't you?

0:58:11 > 0:58:12See ya.

0:58:16 > 0:58:18He's a nice bloke, what's the matter with her?

0:58:18 > 0:58:20I gave up a long time ago trying to work out why

0:58:20 > 0:58:21Bianca's the way she is.

0:58:22 > 0:58:24- Two quid, please.- There you are.- Cheers.

0:58:24 > 0:58:27So he's got a bit of baggage, like she ain't.

0:58:27 > 0:58:29More baggage than a jumbo jet, that girl.

0:58:29 > 0:58:30Can't you say something to her?

0:58:30 > 0:58:32Anything I suggest, she does the exact opposite.

0:58:32 > 0:58:35- So suggest the exact opposite. See ya later.- See ya later.

0:58:36 > 0:58:39- Can I have a coffee, please? - All right, darling.- Takeaway.- OK.

0:58:44 > 0:58:45You all right?

0:58:47 > 0:58:48Clearly not.

0:58:50 > 0:58:52Look, Lauren...

0:58:52 > 0:58:56I know we're not together, but if you're upset...

0:58:59 > 0:59:01You up for it?

0:59:01 > 0:59:06- No.- Oh, come on, it's free entry and half-price drinks till ten.

0:59:06 > 0:59:09- Shirl's going, aren't you, Shirl? - I'm going to wear my sparkly tights.

0:59:09 > 0:59:12- See, how can you say no after that? - Not really my thing.

0:59:12 > 0:59:16Well, he used to say the same thing about milk when he was a little boy. Look at him now.

0:59:16 > 0:59:18Nance, you have a word, he listens to you.

0:59:18 > 0:59:20- I'm staying out of it.- And so should you. Will you tell 'em, Mick?

0:59:20 > 0:59:23- No, I'm with Nance. - Just leave him alone!

0:59:23 > 0:59:25Sorry, Linda, I don't understand. What's the problem?

0:59:30 > 0:59:32"Since when was it such a big deal for a man to sleep

0:59:32 > 0:59:34"with his lawfully-wedded wife?"

0:59:34 > 0:59:36- HE LAUGHS - Is that what he said?

0:59:36 > 0:59:38And I'm like, "How has he got the nerve?"

0:59:38 > 0:59:41- So what did you say?- Nothing.

0:59:41 > 0:59:43It was only going to cause another argument, weren't it?

0:59:43 > 0:59:45What you've got to understand is...

0:59:45 > 0:59:47Can you not try and defend him, please?

0:59:47 > 0:59:49I'm not saying he's not been an idiot.

0:59:49 > 0:59:51But I put myself in his shoes, and I can see why.

0:59:51 > 0:59:54He's just found out your mum's got a new bloke.

0:59:54 > 0:59:57That's a massive kick in the teeth.

0:59:57 > 0:59:59He's lonely, he's upset...

0:59:59 > 1:00:02Me and you would've reached for the bottle.

1:00:02 > 1:00:05He's reached for her. What's the difference?

1:00:08 > 1:00:09I miss you.

1:00:11 > 1:00:13Don't do this, Jake. We agreed.

1:00:14 > 1:00:16Do you miss me?

1:00:18 > 1:00:20HE SIGHS DEEPLY

1:00:22 > 1:00:23You can say no if you want to...

1:00:24 > 1:00:27..but I've got the house to myself tonight.

1:00:27 > 1:00:29Sadie's taking Bella to a swimming gala.

1:00:29 > 1:00:31She won't be back till around ten.

1:00:33 > 1:00:35- Lauren?- How can I slag him off for it and then go

1:00:35 > 1:00:37and do exactly the same thing?

1:00:38 > 1:00:41- It's just, every time I see you... - I said DON'T.

1:00:45 > 1:00:47Best we avoid each other completely from now on then, yeah?

1:01:02 > 1:01:04- I've been thinking about our engagement party.- Yeah?

1:01:04 > 1:01:06I think we should have it at Scarlett's.

1:01:06 > 1:01:09Scarlett's is too posh, Ian. People will feel uncomfortable.

1:01:09 > 1:01:11But it's my place, OK? We can do what we want,

1:01:11 > 1:01:14- have it as informal as we like. - But I've already booked the Vic.

1:01:14 > 1:01:15Already?

1:01:16 > 1:01:18- I thought you wanted to make me happy?- I do.

1:01:18 > 1:01:20Well, what's going to make me happy

1:01:20 > 1:01:22is having our engagement party at the Vic.

1:01:22 > 1:01:26- All right? - All right. Fine. Whatever.

1:01:26 > 1:01:27See you in a bit.

1:01:31 > 1:01:33What do you want?

1:01:33 > 1:01:35Have I got that right? You're actually marrying him?

1:01:38 > 1:01:40You've really gone and done it now, innit?

1:01:40 > 1:01:42- Done what?- Turned yourself into more of a challenge.

1:01:47 > 1:01:49You all right to do a shift in the pub tonight?

1:01:49 > 1:01:50Only Tracey wants the night off.

1:01:50 > 1:01:53Shirley and Tina are still trying to get me out to this club.

1:01:53 > 1:01:55And what have you said?

1:01:55 > 1:01:56You know...

1:01:56 > 1:01:58I just wish everybody would back off.

1:02:02 > 1:02:05Mick? Mick?

1:02:05 > 1:02:08Here, you'll like this. I've had that Denise on the phone.

1:02:08 > 1:02:09She's getting married to Ian.

1:02:09 > 1:02:12Guess who they've asked to lay on the engagement party?

1:02:12 > 1:02:15- You need to have a word with Shirley and Tina.- Why?

1:02:15 > 1:02:17They're ganging up on Johnny, trying to

1:02:17 > 1:02:19get him to go to this club opening tonight.

1:02:19 > 1:02:20So?

1:02:20 > 1:02:22You do realise what kind of club it is? Don't walk away

1:02:22 > 1:02:25- from me when I'm talking to you. - We're out of scratchings.

1:02:25 > 1:02:27He's vulnerable, and the last thing he needs is

1:02:27 > 1:02:30- those two shoving their noses in. - How come's the back door's open?

1:02:30 > 1:02:32- I was taking out the recycling. - Where's Lady Di?- What?

1:02:32 > 1:02:35She was down here, and you've left the back door open?

1:02:35 > 1:02:37SHE EXHALES

1:02:37 > 1:02:38'3.99, please.'

1:02:39 > 1:02:41Probably disgusting, but it's only for cooking.

1:02:41 > 1:02:43Never had you down as MasterChef.

1:02:43 > 1:02:45Yeah, well, I'm not, but I'm making an effort.

1:02:45 > 1:02:47- Me and Max are back together. - Oh, really?

1:02:56 > 1:02:59Oi, you, you either buy something or you get out.

1:02:59 > 1:03:01I'm window-shopping. Checking out the merchandise.

1:03:01 > 1:03:03I thought I'd made it absolutely clear to you -

1:03:03 > 1:03:06- this one ain't for sale. - But I can look, can't I?

1:03:06 > 1:03:10- Everything all right, D?- Yeah, yeah, I've got it handled, Fats.

1:03:10 > 1:03:13- You sure? Cos I can... - I don't do damsel in distress.

1:03:13 > 1:03:16So knights in shining armour need not apply.

1:03:22 > 1:03:25Right. You've got till I count to three.

1:03:25 > 1:03:28- Mmm.- One... - And then what?

1:03:44 > 1:03:48Oh, don't be so ridiculous. She's a lovely dog. Ain't you, girl?

1:03:48 > 1:03:51Huh? Only being friendly.

1:03:51 > 1:03:52Ugh, Lady Di!

1:04:01 > 1:04:03- It's a shop. I'm shopping. - Only he's not.

1:04:07 > 1:04:08Sorry about this.

1:04:08 > 1:04:11Oh, no, don't worry about it, she's a sweetheart.

1:04:11 > 1:04:13I'll make sure it don't happen again.

1:04:16 > 1:04:17Come on, girl.

1:04:17 > 1:04:21Ooh. Always did like a tough guy.

1:04:24 > 1:04:25Yeah, I know all that, mate.

1:04:25 > 1:04:27Problem is my business partner's indisposed,

1:04:27 > 1:04:30- and I need someone to watch the shop, so...- I can do it.

1:04:32 > 1:04:33Hang on, mate.

1:04:35 > 1:04:36- What?- Like you asked me to.

1:04:37 > 1:04:39- You serious? - I'm here, aren't I?

1:04:47 > 1:04:51Yes, mate. No, scrap all that. I can be there after all.

1:04:51 > 1:04:55Yes, I'll be leaving in two minutes. All right. See you then, bye.

1:04:59 > 1:05:00So what's brought this on?

1:05:00 > 1:05:04Well, I'm sorry about this morning. Not for me to judge.

1:05:04 > 1:05:06If Mum can do it, then so can you.

1:05:09 > 1:05:11So what's he like, Mum's new fella?

1:05:13 > 1:05:14What's she said about him?

1:05:15 > 1:05:18Kat's been trying to twist me arm all morning to change me mind.

1:05:18 > 1:05:23"Terry's so kind, Terry's so nice, Terry this, Terry that."

1:05:23 > 1:05:24I'm getting sick of it.

1:05:24 > 1:05:26Kat wants you to go out with a nice bloke?

1:05:26 > 1:05:28What a cow.

1:05:28 > 1:05:30Listen, I'm on your side. None of her business.

1:05:30 > 1:05:33If you don't like him, you don't have to go out with him.

1:05:33 > 1:05:36- I didn't say I didn't like him. - What, are you telling me you do now?

1:05:36 > 1:05:38It's his ex-wife I don't like.

1:05:38 > 1:05:41Oh, I didn't realise, she's going to be there as well?

1:05:41 > 1:05:43All right, I get it.

1:05:43 > 1:05:46All Kat is saying that not all men are as nasty as...Tony.

1:05:50 > 1:05:53Anyway...going round his flat, ain't exactly a date, is it?

1:05:55 > 1:05:57Why would I want to go to a gay club, Danny?

1:05:59 > 1:06:01I dunno. Because it'll be fun.

1:06:01 > 1:06:05- Yeah, for you. - And for you.

1:06:05 > 1:06:09So you're telling me that there'll be no ogling whatsoever?

1:06:09 > 1:06:11Who said anything about ogling?

1:06:12 > 1:06:13Fine.

1:06:13 > 1:06:17Well, if you want to go, you can go. Have a great time.

1:06:17 > 1:06:19I don't really want to be a part of it.

1:06:19 > 1:06:21Thank you.

1:06:21 > 1:06:24Yeah, all right. OK. On one condition.

1:06:26 > 1:06:27We don't talk about you-know-who.

1:06:30 > 1:06:31I'll see you at half seven.

1:06:33 > 1:06:36He said he's cooking. Dunno what I'm letting meself in for.

1:06:45 > 1:06:47- There you go.- Cheers.

1:06:47 > 1:06:49- What's with the book? - None of your business.

1:06:49 > 1:06:52- Is that the one Terry give you? - Why do you care?

1:06:52 > 1:06:53None of your business either,

1:06:53 > 1:06:55but I've decided to go round Terry's tonight after all.

1:06:55 > 1:06:57Oh, yeah? What brought that on?

1:06:57 > 1:06:59Just one condition - that we don't talk about Nikki.

1:06:59 > 1:07:03Good for you. No, hold on. Give that...

1:07:03 > 1:07:05- You are joking! - Give it back. Shush!

1:07:05 > 1:07:08Twins?! Aw, when did you find out?

1:07:08 > 1:07:10Last week, but don't tell anyone, all right?

1:07:10 > 1:07:14- Not till I'm past 12 weeks. - I bet Alfie's over the moon! Aw!

1:07:14 > 1:07:16- Shush! - Oh, I promise I won't say nothing,

1:07:16 > 1:07:18- but just tell me everything! - Shut up!- Twins!

1:07:21 > 1:07:23Have you seen a photo of him? This "Tim"?

1:07:25 > 1:07:27Tim. What sort of name is that anyway?

1:07:32 > 1:07:36- So when did she first mention him? - Can't remember.

1:07:37 > 1:07:39Lauren, it's fine, you don't have to

1:07:39 > 1:07:41try and spare my feelings, I just want to know.

1:07:41 > 1:07:45All right. Six weeks? Two months maybe?

1:07:46 > 1:07:47So it's serious then?

1:07:48 > 1:07:51Must be serious, if she said to you not to mention anything.

1:07:53 > 1:07:56Well, it's good, Lauren. I'm...pleased for her. It's good.

1:07:58 > 1:08:02Everyone's moving on, so...it's really great, so...

1:08:04 > 1:08:07Right, I'd better make a move.

1:08:07 > 1:08:08Listen, I had a couple of sniffs earlier.

1:08:08 > 1:08:11So if they come back, get all their details, tell 'em I'll get straight

1:08:11 > 1:08:15back to 'em. But no haggling, all right? Leave that to me.

1:08:16 > 1:08:19- All right, I'll see you later. - Dad...

1:08:19 > 1:08:21Yeah?

1:08:21 > 1:08:22You are allowed to be unhappy, you know.

1:08:25 > 1:08:26Who said I am?

1:08:30 > 1:08:31See you later.

1:08:36 > 1:08:37That shirt don't look right.

1:08:39 > 1:08:41- Ain't you got nothing tighter?- No!

1:08:41 > 1:08:43Yes, you have, that one with the V neck.

1:08:43 > 1:08:45- Why can't I just wear what I want to wear?- Sorry?!

1:08:45 > 1:08:47He just don't get it, does he? Typical man.

1:08:47 > 1:08:50Maybe he needs, like, some gel in his hair or something?

1:08:50 > 1:08:52Look, I've agreed to go, ain't I?

1:08:52 > 1:08:55- Can you all just back off! - What do you think you're doing?

1:08:55 > 1:08:58Getting Johnny ready for his big night.

1:09:23 > 1:09:24You never told me what Kat said

1:09:24 > 1:09:27when you told her that you'd changed your mind?

1:09:28 > 1:09:30- Bianca?- I got a secret.

1:09:30 > 1:09:32Swear you won't say nothing, promise?

1:09:32 > 1:09:35- What? To do with Terry? - Nothing to do with Terry.

1:09:35 > 1:09:36- Kat's pregnant. - (What?!)

1:09:36 > 1:09:39That's not the big news. She's only expecting twins!

1:09:39 > 1:09:42But I didn't tell you, so please, promise, swear you won't say nothing?

1:09:42 > 1:09:45- No, no, how long has she known?- End of conversation! What do you think?

1:09:54 > 1:09:55Hang on a minute...

1:09:59 > 1:10:00- Where's Dad? - He's not home yet.

1:10:00 > 1:10:02He's going to be well happy. Guess what?

1:10:02 > 1:10:04I've only gone and sold two cars at sticker price!

1:10:04 > 1:10:07- Aw, well done. - When did she move all that in?

1:10:07 > 1:10:08< Is that you, Lauren?

1:10:09 > 1:10:10Yeah.

1:10:15 > 1:10:19- Blimey.- Since it's my first proper night back, thought I'd mark it.

1:10:20 > 1:10:21I hope you're both hungry.

1:10:54 > 1:10:58Yeah. Mick, mate, don't worry about it, it's a long story.

1:10:58 > 1:11:00Surely it's a good thing you're back with her, no?

1:11:01 > 1:11:03You want the truth? I only married her

1:11:03 > 1:11:04cos I was lonely, and she was there.

1:11:04 > 1:11:07- Stupidest thing I've ever done. - So what are you doing back with her?

1:11:07 > 1:11:10Yeah. That's the question. See you later.

1:11:25 > 1:11:27I wasn't really watching anything, to be honest.

1:11:27 > 1:11:29I was just, eh, trying it out.

1:11:32 > 1:11:35- Where's the kids? - They're staying over at, um...

1:11:35 > 1:11:37Oh. She who must not be named.

1:11:48 > 1:11:49Nice. What do you want me to say?

1:11:49 > 1:11:52It'll be brilliant when I've worked it all out,

1:11:52 > 1:11:54cos you can record on it and everything. Only thing is

1:11:54 > 1:11:57you need a degree in computers to work out the remote.

1:11:57 > 1:11:58Agh.

1:12:01 > 1:12:03Shall I get the wine?

1:12:08 > 1:12:12- So, do we invite Winston? - He'll just invite himself, won't he?

1:12:12 > 1:12:15Make sure they all know it's only the first drink that's free.

1:12:15 > 1:12:18- I had a thought... - Do be careful, Ian.

1:12:18 > 1:12:20No. About Scarlett's...

1:12:20 > 1:12:22What do you think of the name "Scarlett's"?

1:12:22 > 1:12:23It's all right.

1:12:23 > 1:12:26I was thinking about renaming it to...

1:12:26 > 1:12:29I dunno, "Turpin's". On account of it being on Turpin Road.

1:12:29 > 1:12:30Yes, I do get the idea, Ian.

1:12:30 > 1:12:32Thought it would give it a highwayman feel.

1:12:32 > 1:12:35Well, prices are daylight robbery.

1:12:35 > 1:12:37What about Tracey?

1:12:40 > 1:12:42We're going now, Johnny.

1:12:42 > 1:12:43Why don't you come with us if you like?

1:13:03 > 1:13:05and wrap 'em round your throat.

1:13:05 > 1:13:06Are we clear?

1:13:11 > 1:13:13I never had you down as a Take That fan.

1:13:14 > 1:13:16- I'm not. - Never went for 'em meself.

1:13:16 > 1:13:19All them girls wetting their knickers over 'em. Don't get it.

1:13:19 > 1:13:21Bit sad really.

1:13:21 > 1:13:23Oh, look, you've got a scratch on your telly.

1:13:23 > 1:13:24So?

1:13:25 > 1:13:27So, take it back to the shop!

1:13:29 > 1:13:30I didn't get it from a shop.

1:13:31 > 1:13:32So where did you get it?

1:13:55 > 1:13:57Yeah, it was all right, thanks.

1:14:08 > 1:14:11What was the last thing I said to you, Lauren?

1:14:11 > 1:14:12I sold them at sticker price.

1:14:12 > 1:14:14Well, that's not the point.

1:14:14 > 1:14:16If I tell you not to do something, Lauren,

1:14:16 > 1:14:17- I don't want you to do it. - But surely if she

1:14:17 > 1:14:19- got the sticker price? - Was I talking to you?

1:14:25 > 1:14:27What is this anyway?

1:14:27 > 1:14:28Chicken chasseur.

1:14:29 > 1:14:32"Chicken chasseur." What is chicken chasseur?

1:14:35 > 1:14:37Don't eat it, Lauren.

1:14:38 > 1:14:40- It's no big deal.- No, she's got an alcohol problem, and you're

1:14:40 > 1:14:42cooking her chicken in white wine?!

1:14:42 > 1:14:45What are you, brain of Britain?

1:14:45 > 1:14:47- The alcohol evaporates. - It don't evaporate!

1:14:47 > 1:14:49You talking about, "evaporate"? I can smell it!

1:14:49 > 1:14:52- Dad, please. - Take it away, Kirsty, please.

1:14:52 > 1:14:54We'll have something else, beans on toast or something.

1:14:54 > 1:14:57Max, I'm sorry. I wasn't thinking...

1:14:57 > 1:14:59I just want you to take the dinner away.

1:15:02 > 1:15:04Can you just take the...?

1:15:04 > 1:15:06Take the dinner away!

1:15:22 > 1:15:24Can't we just enjoy the food?

1:15:27 > 1:15:30Don't you like it? It's me speciality.

1:15:32 > 1:15:35- Used to cook it for her, did you? - Oh, come on, Bianca, this is daft.

1:15:36 > 1:15:38Where did you get the telly?

1:15:38 > 1:15:39Why does it matter where

1:15:39 > 1:15:41- I got a flipping telly? - Did she give it you?

1:15:51 > 1:15:54Well, you might like cast-offs, but I don't!

1:15:54 > 1:15:55What?!

1:15:57 > 1:15:58Get me coat.

1:16:11 > 1:16:13Go on, Kirsty. Get lost.

1:16:53 > 1:16:55What's the matter with you, Lauren?

1:16:55 > 1:16:58Don't start pretending you liked her all of a sudden.

1:16:58 > 1:17:00So all that was for my benefit, was it?

1:17:06 > 1:17:09Where you going? Lauren?

1:17:09 > 1:17:13If we invite Mo, that means we end up with Fat Elvis and Chinese Dave

1:17:13 > 1:17:16and every other lowlife Walford wants to bring along.

1:17:16 > 1:17:19OK, Ian, so you're saying we invite Kat and Alfie, but not Mo.

1:17:19 > 1:17:20- Yeah.- But they live in the same house, Ian,

1:17:20 > 1:17:22so how does that work out?

1:17:25 > 1:17:27Do you mind not leaning against my gate?

1:17:27 > 1:17:29What you going to do, clamp me?

1:17:29 > 1:17:30I'd like you to move.

1:17:33 > 1:17:35Cool. No problem.

1:17:36 > 1:17:37See ya later, Denise.

1:17:41 > 1:17:43Do you know that guy?

1:17:43 > 1:17:44Oh, he must come in the shop or...

1:17:47 > 1:17:49- How does he know your name? - I don't know!

1:18:03 > 1:18:04Where is it?

1:18:06 > 1:18:07HE SIGHS

1:18:26 > 1:18:27SHE KNOCKS ON DOOR

1:18:34 > 1:18:35You still on your own?

1:18:38 > 1:18:39Can I come in?

3:00:13 > 3:00:16Oh, congratulations!

3:00:16 > 3:00:17What for?

3:00:17 > 3:00:21"What for?", she says! You're only getting married!

3:00:21 > 3:00:22Who told you?

3:00:23 > 3:00:27You did. You and Ian were talking about your engagement party.

3:00:27 > 3:00:29Which Fats still hasn't got an invite to.

3:00:31 > 3:00:33Come on, of course you're invited.

3:00:35 > 3:00:37Anyway, right now I'm a little bit

3:00:37 > 3:00:40more concerned about a lost earring.

3:00:40 > 3:00:42Look, do you mean this one?

3:00:44 > 3:00:46Oh. What an idiot.

3:00:48 > 3:00:50An idiot for losing the earring? Or for marrying Ian?

3:00:54 > 3:00:55Sorry.

3:01:09 > 3:01:12- JOHNNY GASPS - Wake up, everybody, rise and shine!

3:01:12 > 3:01:14I'm up! How come you slept there?

3:01:14 > 3:01:16Cos Tina passed out on my floor at 4am and I

3:01:16 > 3:01:19was getting drunk off the fumes. MICK CONTINUES BANGING POTS

3:01:19 > 3:01:21Some of us are trying not to throw up here!

3:01:21 > 3:01:25- Good night, was it?- Yeah, you missed out.- Did you pull?

3:01:25 > 3:01:28Don't ask. Your Auntie Shirl, she was a hit.

3:01:28 > 3:01:30- Do I look like a lezzer?- Linda!

3:01:30 > 3:01:33Yes, Mick, you gorgeous man, you.

3:01:34 > 3:01:37Right, you 'orrible lot. I want all hands on deck.

3:01:37 > 3:01:40We've got our very first engagement party in the pub!

3:01:40 > 3:01:44- Whose engagement party? - Ian Beale. Runs that restaurant.

3:01:44 > 3:01:45You know, he looks a bit like a...

3:01:45 > 3:01:48A weasel? THEY LAUGH

3:01:50 > 3:01:53- But it's all sorted.- Yeah, but I've been up half the night

3:01:53 > 3:01:57worrying about it. The catering's got to be top notch.

3:01:57 > 3:01:59I run a restaurant, after all.

3:01:59 > 3:02:02Oh, really, Ian(?) I thought you flew rockets to the moon.

3:02:05 > 3:02:08You, erm...you off already?

3:02:08 > 3:02:10Yeah.

3:02:10 > 3:02:14Thought I'd take my stuff round Lola's - well, ours - before work.

3:02:16 > 3:02:18Erm...

3:02:19 > 3:02:21Ohhh...

3:02:22 > 3:02:25- I'm only going to be round the corner.- Yeah, I know. I know.

3:02:29 > 3:02:34This is silly. I'm going to see you tonight anyway, at the Vic.

3:02:34 > 3:02:36- Ta-ta.- See you.- See you.

3:02:38 > 3:02:40You know, you don't have to bother.

3:02:40 > 3:02:44- If you're not in the mood? With the party.- No, I am. I am.

3:02:44 > 3:02:48I know you think I'm fussing, but it's our engagement party,

3:02:48 > 3:02:51- I want it to be special, OK? See you in a bit.- See you.

3:02:54 > 3:02:57There's no way I'm working at Ian Beale's engagement.

3:02:57 > 3:02:59- Shirl!- Mick!

3:02:59 > 3:03:02All right, well you can drop my car keys off at the garage.

3:03:02 > 3:03:04Got a bit of fan belt trouble.

3:03:05 > 3:03:10- What's this?- Party bag. Next time you're coming with, OK?

3:03:10 > 3:03:12- Let's have a look!- Nance!

3:03:12 > 3:03:14- LINDA:- Brew's up.

3:03:19 > 3:03:23- There you go. Now, has anyone thought about food? - KNOCK ON DOOR

3:03:23 > 3:03:25- We're not open until 11, mate. - It's Ian!

3:03:32 > 3:03:36- All right? It's about tonight. - Oh, yeah?

3:03:36 > 3:03:38Yeah, yeah. My fiancee, Denise,

3:03:38 > 3:03:41she made the booking, which would have been fine in Alfie's time,

3:03:41 > 3:03:44but I need a few more details before I can finalise the reservation.

3:03:45 > 3:03:48- Details?- Yeah, who's the chef?

3:03:48 > 3:03:50That'd be me.

3:03:51 > 3:03:54Right. What're you planning on cooking?

3:03:54 > 3:03:57Well, we usually do sandwiches. Right, Mick?

3:03:57 > 3:03:59Look, you might not have heard of me,

3:03:59 > 3:04:03I've got quite a reputation round here, no offence,

3:04:03 > 3:04:07but people will be expecting a bit more than cheese and pickle.

3:04:07 > 3:04:10Really? Well, maybe you haven't heard of me yet,

3:04:10 > 3:04:13- but I'm not the sort of woman you want to...- The thing is, Ian,

3:04:13 > 3:04:16we've been in the pub game about 20 years. We know a thing or two

3:04:16 > 3:04:20about throwing a party. No disrespect to Alfie, but I'm

3:04:20 > 3:04:24the guvnor now and I think you're going to love the way we run things.

3:04:24 > 3:04:29So, why don't we have a sit down, we'll have a nice cuppa tea

3:04:29 > 3:04:33and we'll all work out a menu we can agree on. Yeah?

3:04:36 > 3:04:37Yeah.

3:04:40 > 3:04:45- All right?- All right, Lauren? Where'd you get to last night?

3:04:45 > 3:04:47Just Lucy's.

3:04:48 > 3:04:52- It's a car, Max, not a woman. - Yeah, this motor will do more for

3:04:52 > 3:04:53business than any woman ever could.

3:04:53 > 3:04:56Dad! I find that statement insulting on many levels.

3:04:56 > 3:04:59- Nice to see you've taken my advice, Max.- What's that, then?

3:04:59 > 3:05:04The niche car market, I mentioned it a few weeks back.

3:05:04 > 3:05:07Finally swallowed your pride, eh? Good man.

3:05:09 > 3:05:10He reminds me of someone.

3:05:12 > 3:05:14- Nice car. - Ain't you got the message yet?

3:05:14 > 3:05:16I just thought that if we both slept on it...?

3:05:16 > 3:05:19What? You thought I might just forget the last year ever happened?

3:05:19 > 3:05:22Look, I'm skint, Max. The B&B's still after a week's deposit.

3:05:22 > 3:05:25You found a way out of that problem last time.

3:05:25 > 3:05:27Yeah, but we are technically still married!

3:05:27 > 3:05:29Well, we ain't married, Kirsty. We're not!

3:05:29 > 3:05:30Not if you sign the papers, we ain't.

3:05:30 > 3:05:32What am I supposed to do?

3:05:32 > 3:05:34You just chucked me out like a piece of rubbish.

3:05:34 > 3:05:36I'm a person! I have needs!

3:05:48 > 3:05:51- What's this? - All you're going to get.

3:05:52 > 3:05:54SHE SIGHS

3:06:04 > 3:06:06What?

3:06:08 > 3:06:12- Well, we're looking forward to it. - Where are you sourcing the ingredients from?

3:06:12 > 3:06:14- Because seasonal produce is a must.- Obviously.

3:06:14 > 3:06:17And we've got a very special arrangement with our supplier.

3:06:17 > 3:06:20- Don't you worry about that, Ian.- OK. Mick, pleasure to finally meet you.

3:06:20 > 3:06:22- Likewise.- Linda.- Ian.

3:06:22 > 3:06:25Just close the door on your way out, yeah?

3:06:26 > 3:06:29Melt.

3:06:29 > 3:06:32- When you said about "the supplier" you meant the shop next door, innit? - Yeah.

3:06:32 > 3:06:34How are we going to get all this done, eh?!

3:06:34 > 3:06:36I can't even say half this stuff.

3:06:36 > 3:06:38I mean what's a blinny when it's at home?!

3:06:38 > 3:06:41Blini. Don't worry, I'll help you, Mum.

3:06:41 > 3:06:43You and me make a crack team. SHE SIGHS

3:06:45 > 3:06:47- There you go, love. Cheers. - So, you just up and left?

3:06:47 > 3:06:51- Too right I did. Swiped the remote an' all.- What did you do that for?

3:06:51 > 3:06:53Should've heard him, Kat!

3:06:53 > 3:06:56"What does it matter where I got me telly?!" Flash.

3:06:56 > 3:06:58Let me get this straight, because I'm a bit confused,

3:06:58 > 3:07:00he cooks you a slap-up meal, treats you like a lady,

3:07:00 > 3:07:03doesn't mention his ex once, until YOU bring her up,

3:07:03 > 3:07:06and then you stomp out in a huff with his remote shoved up your top?

3:07:06 > 3:07:07So?

3:07:10 > 3:07:12Oh, Denise, it's gorgeous.

3:07:12 > 3:07:14Ian can really surprise you sometimes, can't he?

3:07:14 > 3:07:17- Anyway, I'll see you tonight. - See you tonight.

3:07:17 > 3:07:18What's tonight?

3:07:18 > 3:07:20Oh, engagement party at the Vic. You coming?

3:07:20 > 3:07:23- Oh, yeah, sure. - Bro? My leaving drinks?

3:07:23 > 3:07:25Erm... Both at the Vic?

3:07:25 > 3:07:29- Yes, because we can muddle in together, can't we?- Yeah, fantastic.

3:07:29 > 3:07:33I would have thought my brother would've sorted out a special meal,

3:07:33 > 3:07:36cake, organised some dancing girls to see me on my merry way, but

3:07:36 > 3:07:42muddling in with Ian Beale's 87th engagement party is totally fine.

3:07:42 > 3:07:45You're buying these. Leaving gift. I wonder what they are?

3:07:50 > 3:07:53- Don't, Mas. - I didn't say anything.

3:07:53 > 3:07:57- I'm happy. - Then I'm happy for you.

3:08:02 > 3:08:06You know, I still can't believe The Fox is going to marry your dad.

3:08:06 > 3:08:09- The Fox?- No, I'm saying, I think they're going to make a good couple.

3:08:09 > 3:08:13- Be good together.- You all right? You left pretty sharpish this morning.

3:08:13 > 3:08:14- So?- No news?

3:08:14 > 3:08:16Said I'd tell you, didn't I?!

3:08:21 > 3:08:23So, you coming then?

3:08:23 > 3:08:25- I dunno. It's a bit awkward, innit. - Why?

3:08:25 > 3:08:28- SHE GASPS - I never told you!

3:08:30 > 3:08:34Me and Johnny had a little kiss.

3:08:34 > 3:08:36- SHE SQUEALS - When?!- Shush.

3:08:36 > 3:08:39- When?- Last week.

3:08:39 > 3:08:42But he ain't called me back, so I don't think he's that interested.

3:08:42 > 3:08:46Well, that doesn't necessarily mean anything. He could be shy.

3:08:46 > 3:08:48- Wish he weren't.- Whit!

3:08:48 > 3:08:51He's the first guy I've liked since Tyler.

3:08:51 > 3:08:53Who is? Johnny?

3:08:53 > 3:08:55Keep your voice down.

3:08:55 > 3:08:58You know what, to tell you the truth I kind of thought he, erm...

3:08:58 > 3:09:00You know, he was like... You know...

3:09:00 > 3:09:02- Kind of...- No, he's not.

3:09:02 > 3:09:04Do you think?

3:09:04 > 3:09:06No. No.

3:09:06 > 3:09:08Well, I wouldn't give up just yet.

3:09:08 > 3:09:11Pretty girl like you, I'm sure you don't get turned down too often.

3:09:13 > 3:09:17Anyway, I'm going to go. I'll see you later, all right?

3:09:17 > 3:09:19- Yeah.- Take it easy.

3:09:22 > 3:09:24Ain't you worried?

3:09:26 > 3:09:28Oh, look, just forget it!

3:09:31 > 3:09:35Oh! Just been speaking to Carl's mum.

3:09:35 > 3:09:38She hasn't spoken to him since New Year's Eve.

3:09:38 > 3:09:40Weird, don't you think?

3:09:40 > 3:09:43No, the only thing that's weird is you banging on about it to me.

3:09:43 > 3:09:46Dodgy stuff happens round here and you're usually involved.

3:09:46 > 3:09:47Oh! Cheers.

3:09:50 > 3:09:52How are you even his sister? You don't look like Mick.

3:09:52 > 3:09:54- I got all the looks. - Oh, yeah? Older or younger?

3:09:54 > 3:09:58Just make sure it's in by lunchtime. Yeah?

3:09:58 > 3:10:03Shirl. Can I have a word?

3:10:08 > 3:10:11Remember when you spilt engine oil on Mum's new carpet?

3:10:11 > 3:10:14Remember?! Her screams still echo through my nightmares.

3:10:17 > 3:10:20How long was it before she spoke to you again?

3:10:20 > 3:10:25I dunno, like a couple of weeks and a lot of washing up.

3:10:25 > 3:10:29Always thought it'd be Dad who'd have the problem with me being...

3:10:29 > 3:10:30you know?

3:10:30 > 3:10:35Weird, innit, she used to have a right laugh with her hairdresser.

3:10:35 > 3:10:36Always nosing in on his sex life.

3:10:39 > 3:10:44Oi, stop moping about and get stuck in with the party.

3:10:44 > 3:10:46She will come round, you'll see.

3:10:46 > 3:10:48Cheers, babe.

3:10:48 > 3:10:51Here you are.

3:10:51 > 3:10:54- Sausage!- She don't even call me that any more.

3:10:54 > 3:10:56There you go.

3:10:59 > 3:11:01- Well, a thank-you would be nice. - Thanks(!)

3:11:06 > 3:11:08- I take it this belongs to you?- No.

3:11:08 > 3:11:11Not really, Tina got it for me, I didn't ask her to...

3:11:11 > 3:11:14Just don't leave it lying about, I'm trying to keep a tidy ship here.

3:11:21 > 3:11:23You decorating?

3:11:26 > 3:11:27What you doing here?

3:11:30 > 3:11:32You're unbelievable, you know that?

3:11:32 > 3:11:38Help you, shall I? Begins with S. Ends with an "orry".

3:11:38 > 3:11:42- Sorry.- What was all that about last night?!

3:11:42 > 3:11:43I'm scared, Tel.

3:11:45 > 3:11:47I just don't want to get hurt again.

3:11:47 > 3:11:49Look, I'll never let that happen again.

3:11:52 > 3:11:53Why don't we give it another go?

3:11:57 > 3:11:59- Even after last night? - KEY TURNS IN THE LOCK

3:11:59 > 3:12:01Only me!

3:12:02 > 3:12:05- Has she got a key?! - Have you got a key?!

3:12:05 > 3:12:07Got a spare cut when I had the kids.

3:12:07 > 3:12:10Rosie said you hadn't done much.

3:12:10 > 3:12:11Oh, hello.

3:12:11 > 3:12:14Is it safe to enter or have you got a turkey sandwich in your pocket?

3:12:14 > 3:12:17You can't just come tramping in here like this, Nikki. You know that.

3:12:17 > 3:12:20- I haven't got time to bicker, Tel, I just need the kids' passports.- Why?

3:12:20 > 3:12:24- Because I've got stand-by tickets for Lapland to make up for Christmas.- No. That ain't happening.

3:12:24 > 3:12:27- They'll be back in a couple of days.- Yeah, and they've got school.

3:12:27 > 3:12:29Travel is an education in itself, Tel.

3:12:29 > 3:12:31- I'll see you later, then. - Bianca, wait.

3:12:34 > 3:12:38There's a party in the Vic tonight, I'll see you there, yeah?

3:12:41 > 3:12:42Maybe.

3:12:46 > 3:12:47So, the passports?

3:12:56 > 3:12:59- What's in the bags?- My life.

3:13:00 > 3:13:02Where's Max?

3:13:02 > 3:13:05He chucked me out again. Won't even give me the time of day

3:13:05 > 3:13:08and Carl's not picking up the phone either.

3:13:08 > 3:13:11Can you blame them?

3:13:11 > 3:13:14Look at you, wandering the streets like a stray dog, whining.

3:13:14 > 3:13:17- Are you asking for a smack? - Fighting talk? My type of language.

3:13:17 > 3:13:19Yeah, well, I'm not a dog, all right?

3:13:19 > 3:13:23Then don't act like one. Look, get some self-respect and move on.

3:13:23 > 3:13:25Don't let the slime balls round here hold you back.

3:13:25 > 3:13:28What am I supposed to do? I don't even have any money.

3:13:28 > 3:13:31- Max's just left me high and dry. - You've got brains, haven't you?

3:13:31 > 3:13:34Try using them before they're pickled for good.

3:13:43 > 3:13:46- Mum, I'll do that. Go and sit down. - I know what I'm doing.

3:13:47 > 3:13:49Oh! Flamin' box!

3:13:49 > 3:13:51Will you tell your dad downstairs ain't a storage room

3:13:51 > 3:13:53while he paints upstairs!

3:13:53 > 3:13:57- What time's this party starting again?- Seven.

3:13:57 > 3:14:00Wow! How did you not get bullied at school?

3:14:00 > 3:14:03- I could ask you the same question! - I smelled burning, what's happened?

3:14:03 > 3:14:04I sorted it.

3:14:06 > 3:14:10Oh! Whose crime against fashion was this?

3:14:10 > 3:14:12Blimey, Mick, even I remember that!

3:14:12 > 3:14:15I've been looking for an '80s jacket like this for ages.

3:14:15 > 3:14:18Oi, that's '90s, that is! And that's a man's article of clothing.

3:14:18 > 3:14:24- Swore blind it'd been thrown out. - Must've snuck its way back in.

3:14:24 > 3:14:26Used to think he was the nuts in it.

3:14:26 > 3:14:29He'd like swing it over his shoulder and lean on stuff.

3:14:29 > 3:14:31THEY LAUGH You fell for that, Mum?

3:14:31 > 3:14:35Oh, he was the best-looking boy in the school.

3:14:35 > 3:14:36Urgh! I saw tongue then!

3:14:38 > 3:14:39Were these mine?

3:14:41 > 3:14:42SHE GASPS

3:14:43 > 3:14:46- What?- Tracey's fending off raging traders out there...

3:14:46 > 3:14:48- What is it? - What is it, Shirl?

3:14:48 > 3:14:50THEY LAUGH

3:14:50 > 3:14:51- BOTH:- Oh!

3:14:51 > 3:14:53- LINDA:- What?

3:14:54 > 3:14:57Yeah, all right. Look, leave it. I was young and naive...

3:14:57 > 3:15:00And cold, by the looks of it.

3:15:00 > 3:15:03Yeah, all right. That's enough fun for today,

3:15:03 > 3:15:06Johnny, put that box up in the loft, please, pronto.

3:15:12 > 3:15:14- Cheers!- Do you think I'm being paranoid?

3:15:14 > 3:15:15What do you mean?

3:15:15 > 3:15:17Terry says he wants to give it another shot

3:15:17 > 3:15:20and he says there's nothing going on and I do LIKE him, he makes me

3:15:20 > 3:15:24laugh he's a good dad and I really fancy him but

3:15:24 > 3:15:29say this is my last chance of being happy and not just someone's mum?

3:15:29 > 3:15:33And then on the other hand, she's got herself a key cut. Who does that without asking?

3:15:33 > 3:15:36Unless he's told her to do it without saying it, you know?

3:15:36 > 3:15:39And that's what worries me, because I am not being made a mug of again.

3:15:39 > 3:15:42- Not by that silly little cow. - OK, breathe.

3:15:42 > 3:15:44You are in a state, aren't you?

3:15:44 > 3:15:46I don't like seeing you like this, darling.

3:15:46 > 3:15:48What should I do then?

3:15:48 > 3:15:50He wants to meet me later in the Vic.

3:15:50 > 3:15:52Well, don't go. I know you're good together,

3:15:52 > 3:15:55but Nikki is always going to be part of the Terry package, isn't she?

3:15:55 > 3:16:00She was his first love. And that runs deep, trust me.

3:16:00 > 3:16:05You don't want that hanging over you for the rest of your life, do you?

3:16:05 > 3:16:06No.

3:16:10 > 3:16:12Oh, that's nice.

3:16:12 > 3:16:16Yeah. I might not wear it. Spur of the moment thing.

3:16:16 > 3:16:18It might be, I don't know, a bit young for me...

3:16:18 > 3:16:22- A bit young? Shut up. - So, cooking for Peter, are we?

3:16:22 > 3:16:25Yeah, it's his first night with us, so...

3:16:25 > 3:16:28- Never cooked for me. - Ah, diddums.

3:16:28 > 3:16:30So, you got your family coming tonight?

3:16:30 > 3:16:33- My daughters can't make it. - For your own engagement?

3:16:33 > 3:16:35Well, they would if they could, it's just, you know,

3:16:35 > 3:16:39I gave them such short notice. They're busy girls.

3:16:39 > 3:16:43- They'll be at the wedding though. - It don't matter anyway, cos Patrick'll be there, won't he?

3:16:43 > 3:16:46No, actually, he's come down with the lurgy.

3:16:46 > 3:16:49That's £12.65, please, darling.

3:16:49 > 3:16:51Splashing the cash, aren't we?

3:16:51 > 3:16:53Yeah, well, he's worth it, ain't he?

3:16:57 > 3:16:59Your change.

3:16:59 > 3:17:01Denise, I really think you should wear that dress.

3:17:01 > 3:17:04Trust me, you're going to look good. See ya.

3:17:06 > 3:17:08Damn straight. Hello again.

3:17:09 > 3:17:13Have you got a death wish? If my dad sees you!

3:17:13 > 3:17:17Being brave just for you, babe. Laters.

3:17:17 > 3:17:20Why are the bad ones always so sexy?

3:17:24 > 3:17:26You all right?

3:17:26 > 3:17:28Johnny.

3:17:28 > 3:17:30- Johnny, listen. Mick, is that your dad?- Yeah.

3:17:30 > 3:17:33Yeah, he's not out the front, is it all right if I leave his keys here?

3:17:33 > 3:17:37- Sure. Sorry, meant to move that. - No, don't worry about it. - MICROWAVE PINGS

3:17:45 > 3:17:47- All right, cheers, bruv. - Yeah, thanks.

3:17:52 > 3:17:54Rosie's on her way to see Santa's house.

3:17:54 > 3:17:55Well, you wouldn't like it.

3:17:55 > 3:17:58It's freezing cold and you have to eat fish NOT in fingers

3:17:58 > 3:18:01and everyone knows that Santa's gone on holiday in January.

3:18:01 > 3:18:04- Imagine how the teachers'll kick off when she's not there on Monday. - PHONE BEEPS

3:18:04 > 3:18:06She's having a sleigh ride pulled by huskies.

3:18:06 > 3:18:09Right, that is it. No texting at the dinner table.

3:18:09 > 3:18:11I bet it's Nikki sending these flaming texts.

3:18:11 > 3:18:15Don't you think that Terry would be there, right now, in Lapland

3:18:15 > 3:18:16if he wanted to be with Nikki, huh?!

3:18:16 > 3:18:19- Now are you coming to the Vic or not?- Not!

3:18:19 > 3:18:22Do you know what I'd give to have your choices again, Bianca?

3:18:22 > 3:18:25You're still young and yet you're standing there frightened to

3:18:25 > 3:18:27live life in case something bad happens to you.

3:18:27 > 3:18:30Well, I've got news for you, it's going to happen to you whether you

3:18:30 > 3:18:33like it or not, so you might as well get out there and take a chance.

3:18:35 > 3:18:38Right, Peter said he's going to meet us there.

3:18:38 > 3:18:40- Oh, well, Lola said she was going to cook him a meal first.- Really?

3:18:40 > 3:18:43Beans on toast does not qualify as a meal.

3:18:43 > 3:18:45No, that ain't mine.

3:18:45 > 3:18:47Oh, that's Jane's, she left it here the other day.

3:18:47 > 3:18:49Said I'd put it in the post to her.

3:18:49 > 3:18:51Right, come on.

3:19:11 > 3:19:13You look lovely, Mum.

3:19:16 > 3:19:18It's just me.

3:19:19 > 3:19:21Same as before.

3:19:21 > 3:19:24Same as that little baby you had in the hospital.

3:19:29 > 3:19:32I was tiny, weren't I?

3:19:32 > 3:19:35Hard to believe an actual human foot fit in these.

3:19:35 > 3:19:38Only two pound!

3:19:38 > 3:19:42But you were strong even then. I held out my little finger and...

3:19:42 > 3:19:44I gripped it back.

3:19:53 > 3:19:55Are you absolutely sure?

3:19:55 > 3:19:57Sure?

3:19:59 > 3:20:02Because that Whitney, she really is a lovely girl

3:20:02 > 3:20:05and you looked so good together.

3:20:09 > 3:20:11Why don't you just try, eh?

3:20:13 > 3:20:14For me?

3:20:25 > 3:20:28- To the happy couple. - ALL: Cheers!

3:20:33 > 3:20:36- Champagne?- Of course.

3:20:36 > 3:20:39- Maybe move onto the cava next. - Ian!

3:20:39 > 3:20:41- Congratulations, guys. - Thank you.

3:20:41 > 3:20:46Yeah. Happy life. Er, wedding. What is it? Engagement thing.

3:20:48 > 3:20:50Smooth, Tam, smooth.

3:20:50 > 3:20:52Prepare yourselves, prepare yourselves, cos

3:20:52 > 3:20:54this ain't for the faint-hearted.

3:20:54 > 3:20:57Oh, my days! Is that Linda Carter, bruv?!

3:20:57 > 3:20:59I've been looking for that high and low.

3:20:59 > 3:21:04Why is the world so cruel? Just as I'm about to leave the Square, a goddess appears in our midst.

3:21:04 > 3:21:07Hello, boys, looks like you're having fun there!

3:21:07 > 3:21:10- Mini beef burger? - Thank you.

3:21:13 > 3:21:15Mini beef burger?

3:21:15 > 3:21:17Good luck, darlin'!

3:21:18 > 3:21:23- Now, let me have some of that first. - Get involved, my love, get involved.

3:21:23 > 3:21:24Mick!

3:21:24 > 3:21:27- You look nice, Lauren. - Oh, thank you. So do you.

3:21:27 > 3:21:29- Dad, shall we go sit over there? - Yeah. All right?

3:21:29 > 3:21:33Save us a seat, would you? My feet are killing me after today.

3:21:35 > 3:21:40- Congratulations. - Thanks for coming. Appreciate it. - Thanks. Thank you so much. Thanks.

3:21:41 > 3:21:46- Billy!- Bill, have a look at this, mate.- No way!

3:21:47 > 3:21:52- She'd eat you for breakfast. - Mate, any time of the day or night.

3:21:53 > 3:21:55- What are you doing? - Whoa!- Huh.

3:21:55 > 3:21:59Babe, Pops, I wasn't looking! Dex, tell her I wasn't looking.

3:21:59 > 3:22:00He wasn't looking...

3:22:00 > 3:22:03Because I'm happy. I've got everything that I need at home.

3:22:03 > 3:22:05- You're so beautiful and voluptuous...- Oh...

3:22:05 > 3:22:08- Kind, and sweet... - I can't watch this.

3:22:08 > 3:22:10You're a pig!

3:22:14 > 3:22:19Denise, is Wayne still at the B&B?

3:22:19 > 3:22:22No, no, he's checked out. He's bad news, that one, you know.

3:22:27 > 3:22:32SHE SLURS: Max, Max, come here, come here, come here...

3:22:35 > 3:22:38What's the matter with you? What's the matter with you? You're drunk!

3:22:38 > 3:22:41- Just get off me, will you? - All right. I'm going!

3:22:41 > 3:22:43- Same again, Tracey, please. - I'm going.

3:22:45 > 3:22:49Excuse me. Excuse me. Excuse me.

3:22:49 > 3:22:50Thank you.

3:22:52 > 3:22:55You didn't take my advice then?

3:22:55 > 3:22:56What makes you say that?

3:23:08 > 3:23:11Something about holey socks makes me really sad.

3:23:11 > 3:23:14Has anyone got any chewing gum?

3:23:15 > 3:23:20- Why? Who're you kissing? - Shut up. See you later.

3:23:24 > 3:23:27- Right, that's it. Get me make-up, Tiff.- Really?

3:23:34 > 3:23:35She ain't coming.

3:23:35 > 3:23:39I had a chat with her earlier, she made it perfectly clear, Terry.

3:23:39 > 3:23:41Time to give up, mate.

3:23:42 > 3:23:44Give us a small whisky, please, darling.

3:23:44 > 3:23:46Congratulations, this is from both of us.

3:23:46 > 3:23:48Oh. Thank you.

3:23:49 > 3:23:51I didn't sign it.

3:23:51 > 3:23:53No, but look, look, you gave us a little kiss.

3:23:53 > 3:23:55CAR HORN OUTSIDE

3:23:55 > 3:23:58Peter. Get yourself a pint. Welcome to the family.

3:23:58 > 3:24:01You're all right, Bill, I've already got champagne.

3:24:01 > 3:24:04It's a bird's drink, isn't it? You're living with a Mitchell now.

3:24:04 > 3:24:06- Right, I'm off to get Lex. - All right then, I'll see you later.

3:24:06 > 3:24:09- CAR HORN - All right?

3:24:13 > 3:24:16Max, there's something out here you might want to see.

3:24:27 > 3:24:30Oi! What are you playing at?! Get out of there!

3:24:30 > 3:24:32Out!

3:24:32 > 3:24:34You wanted a divorce. You've got it.

3:24:34 > 3:24:37Cheap at the price.

3:24:47 > 3:24:49I had to have one last cuddle, didn't I?

3:24:53 > 3:24:55Oh, and, by the way,

3:24:55 > 3:24:58when you were picturing Tanya, I was picturing someone with hair

3:24:58 > 3:25:02and muscles. And a little bit more downstairs.

3:25:02 > 3:25:05THEY LAUGH

3:25:05 > 3:25:07Goodbye, Max.

3:25:25 > 3:25:26Here you are.

3:25:26 > 3:25:28Birds, eh?

3:25:32 > 3:25:35Come on then, Dad. She's gone, it's finally over, innit?

3:25:39 > 3:25:40Yeah.

3:25:44 > 3:25:46You owe me.

3:25:48 > 3:25:51- What you doing out here? - Just going to head home.

3:25:51 > 3:25:52It's only early, babe.

3:25:52 > 3:25:56Yeah, well, Ian Beale's engagement party don't really do it for me.

3:25:56 > 3:25:58- I'll see you at home, yeah?- OK.

3:26:08 > 3:26:12Feel this. Could get better quality down the pound shop.

3:26:12 > 3:26:15And these blinis, THAT is like cardboard.

3:26:15 > 3:26:17And what on earth is that supposed to be?

3:26:17 > 3:26:20Denise, I was just wondering why you've still got your coat on.

3:26:20 > 3:26:22- No, I've... - You're not shy, are you?

3:26:22 > 3:26:24- No!- Well...

3:26:25 > 3:26:27You look fantastic.

3:26:27 > 3:26:30Told you you'd look gorgeous.

3:26:30 > 3:26:32You're sweet.

3:26:32 > 3:26:35- Tonight is seriously making me reassess my upper age limit, you know.- I would.

3:26:35 > 3:26:38- Me and all.- If I had a time machine, I probably...

3:26:38 > 3:26:43- You have not? - I'm being silly.

3:26:43 > 3:26:45So, do you like it?

3:26:45 > 3:26:48- It's nice.- Nice?

3:26:48 > 3:26:50Yeah. You might want to pop a cardi on.

3:26:56 > 3:26:58Hello, Whitney. You're looking beautiful.

3:26:58 > 3:27:00Johnny'll serve you, right, love?

3:27:02 > 3:27:04Vodka tonic, please.

3:27:04 > 3:27:07Glasses to clear, Dad's orders. Sorry.

3:27:28 > 3:27:30DOOR CREAKS OPEN

3:27:46 > 3:27:49Oi! Bruv, I'm looking at the paper!

3:27:49 > 3:27:52- What are you doing?- That's my mum! - Do you want it, yeah?

3:27:52 > 3:27:55Get off him. Mick, Mick, leave it!

3:27:55 > 3:27:59They were looking at you. They're perverts!

3:27:59 > 3:28:02They were looking at this?

3:28:02 > 3:28:04Think that makes them perverts?

3:28:05 > 3:28:08Come on, Johnny, they're only blokes!

3:28:09 > 3:28:11Perfectly normal, innit?

3:28:21 > 3:28:24- Why're you being like this, Mum? - Like what?- This!

3:28:24 > 3:28:25Stop whining and grow up, Johnny!

3:28:34 > 3:28:37- What you having, Ian? - No, I'm fine, thanks.

3:28:55 > 3:28:58- What am I doing? - I have no idea.

3:29:04 > 3:29:06Listen to me. Listen, listen.

3:29:06 > 3:29:09- Don't put it up.- Mick, I want to.

3:29:10 > 3:29:12I just wish they still looked like that.

3:29:15 > 3:29:18- Where's Johnny? - He's gone for a walk.

3:29:20 > 3:29:23Right. Who's for another drink?

3:29:23 > 3:29:25- I'd like a packet of nuts, please. - Make that two.

3:29:28 > 3:29:30Oh, £1.60.

3:29:31 > 3:29:33Touche.

3:29:36 > 3:29:39Ain't it about time you made a little speech for the bride and groom to be?

3:29:42 > 3:29:43I'm fine.

3:29:48 > 3:29:50Johnny?

3:29:52 > 3:29:54Johnny.

3:29:57 > 3:29:58Are you OK?

3:30:01 > 3:30:03You don't have to be embarrassed.

3:30:03 > 3:30:04About your mum.

3:30:04 > 3:30:06I think she's great.

3:30:12 > 3:30:13Slow down.

3:30:19 > 3:30:21You don't want this, do you?

3:30:23 > 3:30:26Johnny, you know you can say if you ain't interested.

3:30:26 > 3:30:28- It's not a big deal. - It's not you...

3:30:28 > 3:30:30- Please don't finish that sentence. - Really.

3:30:33 > 3:30:34I'm...

3:30:37 > 3:30:39I'm...gay.

3:30:45 > 3:30:46Oh, right.

3:30:49 > 3:30:50So you just used me?

3:30:52 > 3:30:55I'm sorry. I don't know what I'm doing.

3:30:55 > 3:30:58I shouldn't have done that.

3:30:58 > 3:31:00Whitney, please...

3:31:00 > 3:31:03Right, ladies and gentlemen, could I have your attention, please?

3:31:03 > 3:31:04We all know why we're here.

3:31:04 > 3:31:09We're here to celebrate the engagement of Ian and Denise.

3:31:10 > 3:31:12Yeah.

3:31:12 > 3:31:13Yep.

3:31:13 > 3:31:17Now, I've not known them very long, but I think we'd all agree

3:31:17 > 3:31:20they make a wonderful couple, don't they?

3:31:20 > 3:31:21Ian, get yourself up here

3:31:21 > 3:31:24and say a few words about your lovely wife-to-be.

3:31:28 > 3:31:31First of all, thanks to everyone for coming.

3:31:31 > 3:31:32Ssh!

3:31:32 > 3:31:35You're probably wondering what a beautiful,

3:31:35 > 3:31:37funny woman like Denise is doing with a bloke like me,

3:31:37 > 3:31:40and to be honest, I wonder that every day.

3:31:40 > 3:31:44She really is a very special lady, and...

3:31:46 > 3:31:47Denise, where are you?

3:31:47 > 3:31:50- Has anyone seen her?- Bar.

3:31:50 > 3:31:51Now.

3:31:52 > 3:31:53Well, um...

3:31:54 > 3:31:57As most of you know, I've been married...

3:31:57 > 3:32:01once or twice before, but I promise you, this is the last time.

3:32:01 > 3:32:03As long as I find her.

3:32:03 > 3:32:05She's done a runner already, Ian!

3:32:12 > 3:32:14Oh, it's not...

3:32:14 > 3:32:16Oh, no, no, we're not...

3:32:16 > 3:32:21The point is, this is the last time I'm doing this.

3:32:21 > 3:32:23Not your colour, darling.

3:32:26 > 3:32:29Well, anyway, we are really glad that everyone's here

3:32:29 > 3:32:31enjoying themselves and the food.

3:32:31 > 3:32:35And I promise you, when we do get married, I will get professional caterers in.

3:32:35 > 3:32:37To Ian and Denise, ladies and gentlemen.

3:32:39 > 3:32:40Here she is.

3:32:49 > 3:32:51I love you.

3:32:51 > 3:32:52I love you too.

3:32:56 > 3:32:57Thank you.

3:33:03 > 3:33:04Someone's thirsty.

3:33:04 > 3:33:07Yeah. I'm celebrating, ain't I? Single at last.

3:33:07 > 3:33:10Same again, please.

3:33:10 > 3:33:12Carol didn't say she'd be late, did she?

3:33:15 > 3:33:16Don't look so sad, Tam.

3:33:18 > 3:33:20You can visit your Uncle AJ whenever you want.

3:33:20 > 3:33:22It's Daadi.

3:33:22 > 3:33:24- Mum?- Yeah, she...

3:33:31 > 3:33:32Here you are.

3:33:36 > 3:33:39You don't seem surprised.

3:33:40 > 3:33:42- Well, it sort of makes sense. - Does it?

3:33:42 > 3:33:44Well, you didn't fancy me, did you?

3:33:48 > 3:33:53Right, come on, why are you so confused?

3:33:55 > 3:33:58It's like my whole family's watching me,

3:33:58 > 3:34:00expecting me to go crazy all of a sudden.

3:34:03 > 3:34:05Something just don't feel right.

3:34:05 > 3:34:07I couldn't even go to a gay club with my aunts.

3:34:07 > 3:34:11- What?- What?

3:34:11 > 3:34:14Well, I wouldn't have the guts to go anywhere with your aunts.

3:34:15 > 3:34:18And then there's my mum, who's chuffed to bits(!)

3:34:20 > 3:34:23So that's what that was about earlier?

3:34:23 > 3:34:26- Johnny, she will come round. - I dunno.

3:34:26 > 3:34:29She's never been like this with me before.

3:34:30 > 3:34:33We're normally so close. Nance calls me the spoilt brat.

3:34:36 > 3:34:39It's not just her fussing over me,

3:34:39 > 3:34:42it's...it's like we need to be near each other.

3:34:44 > 3:34:48That's why I didn't go into halls - I was worried she'd be too upset.

3:34:52 > 3:34:54Why are you being nice to me?

3:34:54 > 3:34:56I get it, I suppose.

3:34:57 > 3:34:58Feeling like an outsider.

3:35:00 > 3:35:01How come?

3:35:03 > 3:35:04The usual.

3:35:08 > 3:35:11I really wish I didn't fancy blokes.

3:35:11 > 3:35:12Join the club.

3:35:14 > 3:35:17- Do you fancy something a bit stronger?- Mmm. Yeah.

3:35:19 > 3:35:20All right.

3:35:20 > 3:35:23Oh! I thought you weren't coming?

3:35:23 > 3:35:25Terry's gone home, darling.

3:35:25 > 3:35:28- What do you mean?- Well, I told him you weren't interested.

3:35:28 > 3:35:30- Why? - Darling, we've spoken about this?

3:35:30 > 3:35:32Yeah, but I've changed my mind.

3:35:32 > 3:35:34Come and have a drink with your old man instead.

3:35:34 > 3:35:36- I'm going to go and see him. - Bianca...

3:35:36 > 3:35:38- Where's your mum, by the way? - Is she not in there?

3:35:38 > 3:35:40- No.- Well, she left ages ago.

3:35:40 > 3:35:42- Did she?- I'll see you later.

3:36:06 > 3:36:10Oi, what is Mum's problem? She's fine with you.

3:36:10 > 3:36:12She never give birth to me.

3:36:12 > 3:36:15Do you think she's like properly homophobic?

3:36:15 > 3:36:17I think most people are a bit.

3:36:17 > 3:36:20- I'm not. - Most people say that, an' all.

3:36:21 > 3:36:23You're a dark horse, Linda.

3:36:23 > 3:36:26Don't. I was young and the photographer conned me into it.

3:36:26 > 3:36:29- That's low.- Mick made sure he'd never do it again.

3:36:29 > 3:36:32Didn't he mind every bloke in Walford staring at your chest?

3:36:32 > 3:36:33Secretly he loves it.

3:36:33 > 3:36:36He's the one that gets the 3D experience, after all.

3:36:38 > 3:36:39Nice speech.

3:36:40 > 3:36:42Glad you're over that little blip.

3:36:42 > 3:36:46- Aren't you? - Yeah, yeah. We're engaged now.

3:36:47 > 3:36:48I'm happy. I am.

3:36:50 > 3:36:51Let's face it, when you get to our age,

3:36:51 > 3:36:54- nothing's completely perfect, is it? - Very true.

3:36:54 > 3:36:57Hey, Pops. Hey babe, listen, I just phoned to say sorry.

3:36:57 > 3:36:59About looking at that picture.

3:36:59 > 3:37:01You know, it was just boys being boys.

3:37:01 > 3:37:03But it was a mistake...

3:37:03 > 3:37:07and, um...it won't happen again.

3:37:07 > 3:37:11And, er... But, yeah, if you get this, give me a call back, all right, babe?

3:37:16 > 3:37:20Oh, I know what you're thinking - yes, it looks bad -

3:37:20 > 3:37:24but it was just a moment of madness, it was five minutes.

3:37:24 > 3:37:27Five minutes, or a moment, Denise?

3:37:27 > 3:37:29Cos one's like this...

3:37:29 > 3:37:31and the other's considerably longer.

3:37:33 > 3:37:34What're you going to do?

3:37:35 > 3:37:38Order a G&T. You got lucky, girl.

3:37:38 > 3:37:43- Spreading gossip doesn't particularly interest me.- Good.

3:37:43 > 3:37:46That's good because I love Ian.

3:37:46 > 3:37:48I really do.

3:37:48 > 3:37:50And that was just a distraction.

3:37:50 > 3:37:53If anything, it's made me see things much more clearly.

3:37:53 > 3:37:55Same goes for excuses.

3:37:57 > 3:38:00You've known Ian a while, haven't you, Max?

3:38:00 > 3:38:02What's with him and Denise?

3:38:04 > 3:38:06Well, it just looks a bit odd from the outside.

3:38:06 > 3:38:10I don't know. Who knows anything about anyone's marriage?

3:38:10 > 3:38:12It's like me and Tanya, you know.

3:38:12 > 3:38:14Everyone thought we were a happy couple.

3:38:16 > 3:38:18I was lying, cheating.

3:38:20 > 3:38:23- I was going behind her back with a girl nearly half her age.- Dad.

3:38:23 > 3:38:27What you got to look for is the little clues,

3:38:27 > 3:38:29you know, like the little tells.

3:38:29 > 3:38:32There's always something that's going to give them away.

3:38:32 > 3:38:34Mate, you are going to have one hell of a hangover tomorrow.

3:38:34 > 3:38:38Yeah, exactly, he's just gone through a bad break-up and he's drunk.

3:38:38 > 3:38:40- No, he's fine.- I'm going to take you home.

3:38:40 > 3:38:42Dad, please. For me.

3:38:58 > 3:39:00And he thinks we've got issues.

3:39:04 > 3:39:06Oh, it's you.

3:39:08 > 3:39:09I saw the light on.

3:39:10 > 3:39:12What you doing here?

3:39:12 > 3:39:14I just never get any peace at home.

3:39:14 > 3:39:17And, you know, I found your spare keys.

3:39:20 > 3:39:23Bianca said you was coming over the Vic to Ian's do.

3:39:23 > 3:39:26I had to suffer him making a speech about love.

3:39:26 > 3:39:28- When did you see Bianca? - She came over the pub.

3:39:28 > 3:39:31Oh, right, well, she must be sorting it out with Terry.

3:39:31 > 3:39:34Not if she listened to me, she's not.

3:39:34 > 3:39:36She come to me for advice, Carol.

3:39:36 > 3:39:38Look, I don't want to talk about her.

3:39:38 > 3:39:40I want to talk about you.

3:39:40 > 3:39:43- Where're you going?- I'm going to try and make Bianca see sense.

3:39:45 > 3:39:46Carol...

3:39:53 > 3:39:55I brought it back, didn't I?

3:39:55 > 3:39:58- I could have left it in the bin. - You cheeky mare!

3:39:58 > 3:40:01- It's only a flippin' telly. - That's not what you said last night.

3:40:01 > 3:40:05Can we just forget about all that? Look, I want to try again.

3:40:08 > 3:40:10I've blown it, ain't I?

3:40:13 > 3:40:14I've missed you.

3:40:15 > 3:40:16I missed you too.

3:40:24 > 3:40:25What's in these again?

3:40:25 > 3:40:26Everything.

3:40:28 > 3:40:31- D'you know what, who cares what my mum thinks?- Not me.

3:40:31 > 3:40:34I'm 19 years old, I'm at uni, I've got my whole life ahead of me.

3:40:34 > 3:40:36- Yeah.- So what - I'm gay.

3:40:36 > 3:40:39Yeah, so what! So what!

3:40:41 > 3:40:45- And if she can't accept it, then I'll...- Move out.

3:40:45 > 3:40:47Call her bluff. She'll crack before the night's out, anyway.

3:40:47 > 3:40:49What if it backfires?

3:40:50 > 3:40:52You can stay here.

3:40:52 > 3:40:55- Till she changes her mind. - Would that be OK?

3:40:55 > 3:40:58Yeah. Yeah, I'll check it with Bianca first, but it should be...

3:40:58 > 3:40:59Thank you, Whit!

3:41:06 > 3:41:08- Where's Bianca? - How should I know?

3:41:09 > 3:41:10Has she not come home?

3:41:16 > 3:41:19It's like Piccadilly Circus in here tonight.

3:41:22 > 3:41:24Looks like your plan didn't work.

3:41:24 > 3:41:26Plan? There was no plan.

3:41:26 > 3:41:29We need to get this sorted once and for all, David.

3:41:29 > 3:41:32You need to promise me you'll stay out of Bianca's love life

3:41:32 > 3:41:34- because you can't keep doing this. - Carol...

3:41:34 > 3:41:36- What?- Have the hospital been in touch?

3:41:38 > 3:41:39We're talking about our daughter.

3:41:39 > 3:41:41Yeah, our 36-year-old daughter.

3:41:41 > 3:41:43Who, as you keep saying, is a grown woman

3:41:43 > 3:41:45and whose life is none of our business.

3:41:45 > 3:41:46Yet here we are.

3:41:47 > 3:41:49Are you going to tell me or not?

3:41:49 > 3:41:51Have you had the results?

3:41:54 > 3:41:58There's a direct flight going out to Karachi tonight, but it's pricey.

3:41:59 > 3:42:02- There's my uni fund.- Oh, no, Tam, we'll put it on the credit card.

3:42:02 > 3:42:04How long are you going to be out there?

3:42:04 > 3:42:07- My new job starts Monday. - I'll probably come back then too.

3:42:07 > 3:42:10I was thinking about it, bro, maybe I shouldn't go.

3:42:10 > 3:42:13Not go to your own mum's funeral?

3:42:13 > 3:42:16I'm just saying, you know, it's bad timing.

3:42:16 > 3:42:20The car's already packed, I've got to prepare for a meeting.

3:42:20 > 3:42:23There's so much stuff to do. My new flat.

3:42:23 > 3:42:25Am I hearing this right?

3:42:25 > 3:42:27You can't be bothered to go to Mum's funeral

3:42:27 > 3:42:29because you've got unpacking to do?

3:42:29 > 3:42:31She's gone.

3:42:34 > 3:42:36Does it matter if I'm there or not?

3:42:41 > 3:42:44Do you have any idea the sacrifices she made? Do you, AJ?

3:42:44 > 3:42:48She was up before dawn to go and work in a factory

3:42:48 > 3:42:51so that we had enough to eat, so we had enough for new clothes.

3:42:51 > 3:42:53And she never once complained.

3:42:53 > 3:42:55We'd walk though the door

3:42:55 > 3:42:58and you'd be greeted by this warm smell of cooking

3:42:58 > 3:43:01and it would wrap around you like a hug...

3:43:01 > 3:43:04and we knew everything was going to be all right.

3:43:04 > 3:43:08That's a nice picture, bruv. See you left Dad out of it.

3:43:08 > 3:43:10Oh, so this is about him, then?

3:43:10 > 3:43:14You might want to make out that our childhood was one cosy meal after another,

3:43:14 > 3:43:16but, Tam, that's not what I remember.

3:43:16 > 3:43:22And if Mum cared about us so much, why didn't she stand up to him more?

3:43:22 > 3:43:25Like when I married Aaliyah, for example?

3:43:25 > 3:43:28Why don't you tell him how I got this scar?

3:43:31 > 3:43:32That doesn't mean anything.

3:43:32 > 3:43:35The fact they're taking a while. The lab's probably backed up.

3:43:35 > 3:43:38- I know. You're the one keeps going on about it.- How are you sleeping?

3:43:40 > 3:43:42- Have you told Mr Postie? - That's none of your business.

3:43:42 > 3:43:46- I just want to know you're getting the right support, Carol.- I'm fine.

3:43:46 > 3:43:50Oh, so sitting over the Portakabin in the dark is perfectly fine behaviour, is it?

3:43:50 > 3:43:53I mean I don't need anything, all right. There is no news.

3:43:53 > 3:43:55- I'm just waiting. - Well, we can wait together.

3:43:57 > 3:44:01It's not the waiting that bothers me particularly.

3:44:01 > 3:44:04- I'm here for you, Carol, whatever happens.- Really?

3:44:06 > 3:44:08Right, so when my hair starts to fall out

3:44:08 > 3:44:12and I can't drag myself out of bed cos I'm as sick as a dog

3:44:12 > 3:44:15from the chemo and they have to cut my breasts off...

3:44:16 > 3:44:19Are you going to be there for me, then?

3:44:19 > 3:44:20Yes, Carol.

3:44:22 > 3:44:23Why?

3:44:26 > 3:44:27Why do you think?

3:44:31 > 3:44:33OK, OK, Dad was wrong.

3:44:33 > 3:44:37He's traditional, you know that, and besides, he's an old man now.

3:44:37 > 3:44:39Who knows exactly which buttons to press.

3:44:39 > 3:44:42I swore I wouldn't go back until I could look him in the eye

3:44:42 > 3:44:46like the man I am now and not the boy he made me feel like.

3:44:46 > 3:44:49I'm sorry, Mas, I'm not ready to face him yet.

3:44:49 > 3:44:51This isn't about you, AJ.

3:44:51 > 3:44:54This is about family. This is about paying your respects.

3:44:59 > 3:45:03Besides, I'm going to be the one to get the flak this time, aren't I?

3:45:04 > 3:45:08Divorcee, gay son, in love with a white woman.

3:45:08 > 3:45:13You've got this exciting new job, you know, you've got prospects.

3:45:13 > 3:45:14AJ, please, come on.

3:45:14 > 3:45:16I'm asking you to do this for me, all right?

3:45:16 > 3:45:18- I can't do this on my own.- OK.

3:45:20 > 3:45:23I'll come over in a month or two when the dust has settled.

3:45:25 > 3:45:28It's a good job Mum isn't here to see you now.

3:45:29 > 3:45:31She'd be ashamed.

3:45:31 > 3:45:32- Mas.- Get off me!

3:45:33 > 3:45:35Get out of my sight.

3:45:56 > 3:45:59Why did you say all that stuff to Sadie?

3:46:00 > 3:46:06It's Jake, innit. He's just sitting there all smug.

3:46:06 > 3:46:09Does my nut in, you know, after what he done to you.

3:46:09 > 3:46:12He just preyed on you when you were vulnerable.

3:46:12 > 3:46:13No, it wasn't like that, Dad.

3:46:13 > 3:46:17Just pleased you've ended it with him, that's all.

3:46:17 > 3:46:18Couldn't have been easy.

3:46:22 > 3:46:23I'm proud of you.

3:46:28 > 3:46:31- Dad...- From now on, right, I'm going to keep my head down...

3:46:32 > 3:46:34..work hard

3:46:34 > 3:46:37and the rest is going to be family.

3:46:39 > 3:46:43You and Abi are going to have my undivided attention.

3:46:56 > 3:46:58My mum's dead, Tam.

3:47:01 > 3:47:02Go to her funeral.

3:47:05 > 3:47:07Did Mas send you out here?

3:47:07 > 3:47:10This hasn't got anything to do with Dad.

3:47:10 > 3:47:12OK, this is about you.

3:47:13 > 3:47:17You need to say goodbye to your mum.

3:47:19 > 3:47:20Not because you should...

3:47:22 > 3:47:26..but because...you need to.

3:47:32 > 3:47:35Dad's taxi's going to be here in a minute.

3:47:35 > 3:47:36Um...um...

3:47:38 > 3:47:40No, I'll make my own way there.

3:47:45 > 3:47:48Tam. Tam...

3:47:50 > 3:47:52Here's a little present for you.

3:47:54 > 3:47:56Thanks.

3:48:08 > 3:48:09See you later.

3:48:11 > 3:48:12See you later.

3:48:41 > 3:48:43D'you think he's all right out there on his own?

3:48:43 > 3:48:46He's 19, Linda. It's London, not Afghanistan.

3:48:46 > 3:48:48- Why d'you say that? - Because it's the truth.

3:48:48 > 3:48:51You blame me, don't you? For Lee being out there.

3:48:51 > 3:48:54- Don't be so stupid.- Wouldn't have mentioned Afghanistan otherwise.

3:48:54 > 3:48:57You think I pushed him away and now I'm pushing Johnny away an' all.

3:48:57 > 3:48:59You're putting words in my mouth.

3:48:59 > 3:49:03Then try putting a few of your own in there. Save me the trouble.

3:49:04 > 3:49:07I don't get it. OK, we didn't expect it

3:49:07 > 3:49:10and I don't want to hear about the nitty gritty, but it's his life.

3:49:10 > 3:49:11- It doesn't change anything.- Dad?

3:49:11 > 3:49:14- Not now, Nancy, please...- No, I need to talk to you, it's important.

3:49:14 > 3:49:17- Stay out of it, Nance. - Johnny? What you doing?

3:49:17 > 3:49:19- I'm moving out. - Don't be so ridiculous.

3:49:19 > 3:49:21You obviously don't want me here. Do you?

3:49:21 > 3:49:23Don't be silly. She's been having kittens all night.

3:49:23 > 3:49:25Course she wants you here. Tell him.

3:49:28 > 3:49:29Mum!

3:49:30 > 3:49:32Well, I ain't having this. I'm not having it.

3:49:32 > 3:49:34Any danger of a drink here, Mick?

3:49:34 > 3:49:37Wait here, don't even think about moving.

3:49:41 > 3:49:42Dad, let me talk to Mum.

3:49:42 > 3:49:43I'm going to deal with it.

3:49:43 > 3:49:45Just go and serve him for me, yeah?

3:49:45 > 3:49:48- Mick, pint, please? - Tina will serve you.

3:49:52 > 3:49:55D'you know what - forget it, yeah.

3:49:55 > 3:49:57Any better at pouring shots, Tina?

3:49:57 > 3:50:00Well, that depends if you want it in a glass or straight down the hatch?

3:50:00 > 3:50:02Dangerous talk!

3:50:02 > 3:50:04- Right, darling, shall we call it a night then?- Yeah.

3:50:09 > 3:50:11I know you don't want to go.

3:50:11 > 3:50:14And I know you don't want him to go either.

3:50:14 > 3:50:17So talk. Sort it out.

3:50:17 > 3:50:20Because nobody is going to bed until you do.

3:50:22 > 3:50:23OK?

3:50:28 > 3:50:31Right, well, this is pointless, I'm off.

3:50:33 > 3:50:35- He your boyfriend then?- Who?

3:50:35 > 3:50:38- That Danny?- No!

3:50:38 > 3:50:41- No.- Who is then?- No-one.

3:50:41 > 3:50:42I don't even know if I want one!

3:50:42 > 3:50:46And no, I don't mean I'm not sure - I know I'm gay -

3:50:46 > 3:50:50- it's not just like I've woken up and everything's changed.- Hasn't it?

3:50:50 > 3:50:52- Cos that's what it feels like to me. - Why?

3:50:52 > 3:50:55Because you're not who I thought you were.

3:50:55 > 3:50:57All this time you've been lying to me.

3:50:57 > 3:50:58Making out like you're one thing

3:50:58 > 3:51:01- when really you're someone completely different.- But I'm not!

3:51:03 > 3:51:07I didn't mean to lie, you know, I just didn't want the fuss.

3:51:09 > 3:51:11I kind of hoped you'd guess.

3:51:12 > 3:51:15I mean, didn't you already have a hunch?

3:51:15 > 3:51:17- No.- Really?

3:51:20 > 3:51:21I just thought you were my Johnny.

3:51:27 > 3:51:28I still am.

3:51:32 > 3:51:33So you're ashamed of me?

3:51:33 > 3:51:36- Course I'm not. - Then what is it?

3:51:43 > 3:51:45When they put you in that glass box...

3:51:46 > 3:51:48..tubes running into your tiny little body...

3:51:50 > 3:51:52..I sat there feeling so helpless...

3:51:53 > 3:51:58..wanting to hold you so much that my arms were physically aching.

3:52:00 > 3:52:02And I made you a promise -

3:52:02 > 3:52:04that if you pulled through,

3:52:04 > 3:52:07I'd never let anything bad happen to you ever again.

3:52:07 > 3:52:10And you haven't.

3:52:10 > 3:52:13But I can't stop bad things happening now, can I?

3:52:14 > 3:52:16The world is a cruel place

3:52:16 > 3:52:22and you...you being gay is going to make things so much worse.

3:52:22 > 3:52:23It doesn't have to be...

3:52:23 > 3:52:27- Overnight you've made enemies you never knew existed.- Yeah?

3:52:27 > 3:52:29Then that's their problem.

3:52:29 > 3:52:31Then there are the men you'll fall in love with

3:52:31 > 3:52:33who are going to break your heart.

3:52:33 > 3:52:37You're soft, Johnny - I've made you that way because I thought

3:52:37 > 3:52:41you'd meet a nice girl who'd take over and look after you for me.

3:52:43 > 3:52:46But that ain't going to happen now, is it?

3:52:46 > 3:52:48I'm not a little boy any more, Mum.

3:52:50 > 3:52:53I'm a man, I can deal with people not liking me.

3:52:53 > 3:52:54I just...

3:52:56 > 3:52:58I just can't deal with losing you.

3:53:02 > 3:53:03Have I?

3:53:06 > 3:53:09- Course you haven't.- Good.

3:53:09 > 3:53:10Good, cos I've missed you.

3:53:15 > 3:53:17And your cocoa.

3:53:22 > 3:53:24Make you one now, shall I?

3:53:38 > 3:53:40- You coming up? - Yeah, in a sec, I'll just lock up.

3:54:05 > 3:54:07I'm proud of you.

3:54:09 > 3:54:11He's my boy, ain't he?

3:54:15 > 3:54:18Yeah, I mean, she seems OK.

3:54:18 > 3:54:20It's early days, I guess, but...

3:54:22 > 3:54:25Thanks though, Whit. I really appreciate it.

3:54:26 > 3:54:28All right, bye.

3:54:33 > 3:54:35Better go and check

3:54:35 > 3:54:39that Tina and Nancy ain't started a rave downstairs.

3:55:09 > 3:55:11KETTLE BOILS

3:55:48 > 3:55:51Johnny, cocoa's ready.

3:55:55 > 3:55:57RINGING

3:56:06 > 3:56:09RINGING CONTINUES

3:56:20 > 3:56:23- MOBILE PHONE RINGS - Mum?

3:56:25 > 3:56:26Whit?

3:56:45 > 3:56:48Mum... me and Terry are back together.

3:56:48 > 3:56:50Oh.
