0:00:27 > 0:00:29Janine!

0:00:31 > 0:00:33What is it? Go back to bed.

0:00:33 > 0:00:36Janine, she was here!

0:00:36 > 0:00:38Who was there?

0:00:38 > 0:00:41GROANING

0:00:41 > 0:00:43For goodness' sake!

0:00:48 > 0:00:50What have you done?!

0:00:50 > 0:00:54- She's in there. - Have you hurt yourself?

0:00:54 > 0:00:55I'm telling you she's in there!

0:00:55 > 0:01:00- There's nobody's in there. Come on, let me get you onto a chair. - I'm telling you, she's in there!

0:01:06 > 0:01:09There's nobody in here. It's completely empty.

0:01:09 > 0:01:12You must have been hallucinating. How many of those pills have you taken?

0:01:12 > 0:01:15I'm telling you, she was there.

0:01:15 > 0:01:17Wearing the same dress as in the photograph.

0:01:17 > 0:01:20Sorry? What photograph?

0:01:20 > 0:01:23Who are you talking about?

0:01:23 > 0:01:24Your mother!

0:01:32 > 0:01:34Max?

0:01:34 > 0:01:36Sorry, babe.

0:01:36 > 0:01:37Was it a bit loud?

0:01:37 > 0:01:40No, I woke up and you weren't there.

0:01:41 > 0:01:43Same old, innit.

0:01:43 > 0:01:47I got straight off, come two o'clock I'm wide awake and buzzing.

0:01:48 > 0:01:50Just gave up in the end.

0:01:52 > 0:01:54Can I guess?

0:01:55 > 0:01:57There's nothing to guess. It's just...

0:01:57 > 0:02:00just something I go through now and again, innit.

0:02:00 > 0:02:04- So it's got nothing to do with what Tanya said...- No, course it ain't.

0:02:05 > 0:02:09Only I'm not sure I'd be altogether overjoyed to learn my ex was starting a new family.

0:02:10 > 0:02:12Not that he could manage it.

0:02:17 > 0:02:19Am I warm?

0:02:20 > 0:02:23As far as I'm concerned, she can do what she wants.

0:02:25 > 0:02:27It's just the kids, you know?

0:02:27 > 0:02:32Once junior comes along, they're going to get forgotten about. It's not fair on them.

0:02:35 > 0:02:37What?

0:02:40 > 0:02:43I think it's about time you and I stopped pretending.

0:02:45 > 0:02:47I think the reason you can't sleep...

0:02:51 > 0:02:52..the reason you're so upset...

0:02:57 > 0:02:59..it's got nothing to do with the kids.

0:03:06 > 0:03:08I think it's cos

0:03:08 > 0:03:11you've never quite fallen out of love with her, have you?

0:03:16 > 0:03:17Max, look at me.

0:03:22 > 0:03:24Honest answers only.

0:03:24 > 0:03:26Yes or no?

0:03:31 > 0:03:34Don't usually see you in here at this time. What you doing?

0:03:34 > 0:03:37Couldn't sleep. Needed to get out of the house for a bit.

0:03:37 > 0:03:39- Oh, really?- Yeah, really.

0:03:39 > 0:03:41So you haven't had a row, then?

0:03:41 > 0:03:44- You and fatty boy? - No, nothing at all.

0:03:44 > 0:03:46- Are you sure?- Yeah, I'm sure.

0:03:46 > 0:03:48- Has he been coming on to you?- No!

0:03:51 > 0:03:53Oh, no, he hasn't, has he?

0:03:53 > 0:03:56- Hasn't what?- Honey, I've been there.

0:03:56 > 0:04:00Even the nicest-seeming guys can do the most dreadful things.

0:04:00 > 0:04:03- Has he hit you?- No!

0:04:03 > 0:04:06- It's nothing to do with Arthur at all.- So what, then?

0:04:08 > 0:04:10I went to see a solicitor on Friday.

0:04:10 > 0:04:12I have an immigration hearing, in...

0:04:14 > 0:04:16..six hours!

0:04:16 > 0:04:19I've screwed up so bad.

0:04:19 > 0:04:24- It was a mistake getting married. - How?- They'll think it was a scam to keep me in the country.

0:04:24 > 0:04:26What did Fatboy say to that?

0:04:26 > 0:04:29He wasn't there. I haven't been able to bring myself to tell him.

0:04:29 > 0:04:32Honey, another coffee, please.

0:04:32 > 0:04:33Sure.

0:04:37 > 0:04:38Come on.

0:04:39 > 0:04:40That's it.

0:04:40 > 0:04:44You just... You haven't taken on nearly enough liquids.

0:04:44 > 0:04:46You're dehydrated.

0:04:46 > 0:04:48That is what all of this is about.

0:04:48 > 0:04:50My time is up.

0:04:50 > 0:04:52I am not having you die on me.

0:04:52 > 0:04:54What are you talking about?

0:04:54 > 0:04:56You've been praying for this!

0:04:56 > 0:04:59I mean in my living room. Far too much hassle.

0:04:59 > 0:05:02THEY CHUCKLE

0:05:03 > 0:05:05About my funeral.

0:05:05 > 0:05:08Are you not listening? There is going to be no dying.

0:05:08 > 0:05:10- That's an order.- I don't want one.

0:05:10 > 0:05:12Good, because you're not going to have one. Not yet.

0:05:12 > 0:05:16- And when you do...- The doctors can do what they like with me.

0:05:16 > 0:05:19I mean, there's nothing worth salvaging anyway.

0:05:19 > 0:05:25I rather relish the idea of young medical students gawping over my innards.

0:05:25 > 0:05:28"Where's her heart?" they'll say.

0:05:28 > 0:05:31"Extraordinary. She doesn't appear to have one."

0:05:36 > 0:05:40I've never told you this, young lady, but I rather like you.

0:05:41 > 0:05:43It's that defiant streak.

0:05:43 > 0:05:47That refusal to be anything other than you are.

0:05:47 > 0:05:49Well, I wonder where I get that from?

0:05:51 > 0:05:54Do you know, just to cheese you off,

0:05:54 > 0:05:57I'm going to give you the most fantastic funeral.

0:05:57 > 0:06:01Loads and loads of hideous floral tributes.

0:06:01 > 0:06:05You know, ones that spell out "Grandma" in lilies.

0:06:05 > 0:06:10Tasteful, you know? And I, I will be chief mourner, dressed all in black.

0:06:10 > 0:06:17With a little pillbox hat, and a veil, and maybe some fishnets...

0:06:17 > 0:06:20Why do I always feel so filthy at funerals?

0:06:20 > 0:06:23Oh, and there'll definitely be a choir.

0:06:23 > 0:06:26I think I can stretch to that. What song would you have?

0:06:26 > 0:06:30Yes! We Have No Bananas.

0:06:30 > 0:06:33She's there again!

0:06:33 > 0:06:35- Next to your father!- No, Granny,

0:06:35 > 0:06:38- look, it's just a picture.- No!

0:06:38 > 0:06:42- She's there! - No.- She's as real as you or me.

0:06:44 > 0:06:46This is it. Now, come on, help me.

0:06:46 > 0:06:48- Please.- What? Can you just stop this?

0:06:48 > 0:06:51Or I'll start being extra nice to you.

0:06:51 > 0:06:54Or something else you'd really hate. And I mean it.

0:06:54 > 0:06:56It's not true I don't have a heart.

0:06:56 > 0:07:00- I DO have a heart.- I know.

0:07:00 > 0:07:04And I do know how to love.

0:07:04 > 0:07:06Because I loved her.

0:07:06 > 0:07:08Oh, Granny...

0:07:18 > 0:07:23All right, then, let me ask you another question.

0:07:25 > 0:07:27Do you think I'm stupid?

0:07:27 > 0:07:29No, course I don't.

0:07:29 > 0:07:32Cos I have got eyes and ears, Max.

0:07:32 > 0:07:37Underneath all that big hair and make-up, I have got a brain.

0:07:39 > 0:07:40And I notice things.

0:07:42 > 0:07:44And while I'm

0:07:44 > 0:07:47long enough in the tooth to know that all relationships

0:07:47 > 0:07:49require a bit of give and take...

0:07:50 > 0:07:53..I'm not so dumb as not to know when I'm becoming second best.

0:07:56 > 0:08:00Babe, that ain't true! I got loads of respect for you.

0:08:00 > 0:08:02I'm not talking about respect.

0:08:02 > 0:08:05All right. Well, let me ask you a question. This word "love".

0:08:07 > 0:08:09What do you think it means?

0:08:09 > 0:08:11I'd rather hear what YOU think it means.

0:08:11 > 0:08:13It means loads of things.

0:08:14 > 0:08:17You know, "I want to possess you.

0:08:17 > 0:08:20"I want to control you. I want to be controlled BY you.

0:08:21 > 0:08:22"I'm needy.

0:08:24 > 0:08:26"I'm weak.

0:08:27 > 0:08:32- "I need reassurance." - That's what you think love means?

0:08:34 > 0:08:37I think that's what other people muddle it up with.

0:08:40 > 0:08:42So, what is it, then?

0:08:43 > 0:08:45It's about trust.

0:08:45 > 0:08:47Intimacy?

0:08:47 > 0:08:52Being truthful. Wanting to put someone else before yourself.

0:08:55 > 0:08:58Babe, none of that...none of that applies to me and Tanya.

0:08:59 > 0:09:01So?

0:09:04 > 0:09:06It's just emotional cat-and-mouse, innit.

0:09:10 > 0:09:14Stupid, ridiculous, never-ending game.

0:09:18 > 0:09:19And who's winning?

0:09:24 > 0:09:25Nobody.

0:09:33 > 0:09:35So, what you doing here?

0:09:39 > 0:09:40Are YOU going to tell him?

0:09:40 > 0:09:43Or do you want me to?

0:09:46 > 0:09:49There isn't a day goes by when I don't look at him

0:09:49 > 0:09:53and find myself having a conversation with him in my head.

0:09:53 > 0:09:54Shame he was such a slug.

0:09:54 > 0:09:57Yeah, well, I'm not going to be sticking up for him.

0:09:57 > 0:09:59I know what he was like.

0:09:59 > 0:10:04But it's not rational, is it? Some people you find yourself forgiving over and over again.

0:10:04 > 0:10:10Not me. Any hope of that died when she died.

0:10:10 > 0:10:14And all I was left with was bitterness and hatred...

0:10:14 > 0:10:16and my money.

0:10:16 > 0:10:20Ooh, how he hated that.

0:10:20 > 0:10:22Money doesn't buy you very much.

0:10:22 > 0:10:25But it does buy you power.

0:10:27 > 0:10:29I want you to do something for me.

0:10:29 > 0:10:37- What?- In the bedroom, in that drawer, there's a biscuit tin and a bundle of letters.

0:10:37 > 0:10:39Bring them here for me.

0:10:59 > 0:11:04- What are you doing in there? - Oh, I'm just coming.

0:11:04 > 0:11:07- Janine!- All right!

0:11:07 > 0:11:09All right.

0:11:17 > 0:11:21- Did you look at it?- Look at what?

0:11:21 > 0:11:23Of course you looked at it!

0:11:23 > 0:11:26You wouldn't be the Janine I know if you didn't.

0:11:26 > 0:11:29No, I don't know what you're talking about.

0:11:29 > 0:11:33You didn't come across my will while you were rooting about in there?

0:11:33 > 0:11:36Be very odd if you didn't.

0:11:36 > 0:11:38- Considering the time you were in there.- OK.

0:11:38 > 0:11:41I saw it, you know. So what?

0:11:41 > 0:11:46Why don't I quite believe this display of studied indifference?

0:11:47 > 0:11:52Where's the resentment? Oh, come on, girl, let it out.

0:11:52 > 0:11:54You'll feel so much better afterwards.

0:11:55 > 0:11:59All right, so what is the Cancer Nurses Trust anyway? I've never heard of it.

0:11:59 > 0:12:05- They looked after your mother during the final weeks of her illness. - Well, who'd've thought it?

0:12:05 > 0:12:13Lydia Simmonds, lady bountiful, selfless philanthropist and all round good egg.

0:12:13 > 0:12:15That's more like it.

0:12:15 > 0:12:17A trace of disappointment.

0:12:17 > 0:12:19Anger, even.

0:12:19 > 0:12:24Look, if it's for a good cause

0:12:24 > 0:12:29and it helps you buy your way into Heaven, then why not?

0:12:34 > 0:12:38These are all of Mum.

0:12:38 > 0:12:43Supposing I was to tell you we're talking well into seven figures,

0:12:43 > 0:12:46would that make a difference?

0:12:46 > 0:12:48Would that light the gleam of avarice in your eye?

0:12:48 > 0:12:51What are you trying to do, Granny, torture me?

0:12:51 > 0:12:55Is that it? Because, let me tell you, it isn't working.

0:12:55 > 0:12:57Yes, but just think, Janine. With all that money,

0:12:57 > 0:13:02you could end up as happy and fulfilled as me.

0:13:03 > 0:13:06Think of what you'll be missing.

0:13:07 > 0:13:10I would rather have these.

0:13:14 > 0:13:17- You are as British as me.- That's not quite British enough.- What?

0:13:17 > 0:13:20Oh, come on, Fats, you know what she's talking about as well as I do.

0:13:20 > 0:13:22Last I heard, there was this thing called law.

0:13:22 > 0:13:26- Yeah, and it's against me.- So, what time we got to be at this hearing?

0:13:26 > 0:13:30- Ten o'clock.- All right, well that gives me exactly 5.75 hours.

0:13:30 > 0:13:34- What are you going to do?- Learn to be a lawyer. This ain't over!

0:13:38 > 0:13:41So, if what you say about you and Tanya is right

0:13:41 > 0:13:44and this is all a big game, then what's all this stuff about?

0:13:53 > 0:13:57All that stuff about her wanting more kids was just her next throw of the dice?

0:14:02 > 0:14:07Can there be any worse reason for having more children than just to get back at your ex-husband?

0:14:08 > 0:14:13So what you're feeling now is exactly what she WANTS you to feel.

0:14:13 > 0:14:15So how do I stop feeling it?

0:14:15 > 0:14:17By understanding what's going on.

0:14:17 > 0:14:21Do you think me and Harry aren't wrapped up in the same stuff?

0:14:21 > 0:14:25The only reason you don't know it is cos you don't see it. But it's there.

0:14:26 > 0:14:29So how do you manage it?

0:14:32 > 0:14:34I don't.

0:14:36 > 0:14:41You see, the sad irony of this is that

0:14:41 > 0:14:46you can know all of this and then just carry on the same old way.

0:14:46 > 0:14:49Cos it's too scary to do anything different.

0:14:49 > 0:14:51What do you mean, "scary"?

0:14:51 > 0:14:54To act differently takes courage, Max.

0:14:55 > 0:14:57Courage I don't have.

0:14:59 > 0:15:00Courage to be a grown-up.

0:15:04 > 0:15:07Why do you think I hide behind all that make-up?

0:15:11 > 0:15:12Because I'm scared.

0:15:14 > 0:15:17I'm scared that if people could see the real me

0:15:17 > 0:15:20- then I wouldn't be able to pretend any more.- Shhh, V, V, V.

0:15:20 > 0:15:23Please, please, V.

0:15:23 > 0:15:25Cos that's what we're all doing.

0:15:25 > 0:15:29You, me, Tanya, everyone.

0:15:30 > 0:15:32Pretending.

0:15:36 > 0:15:41Well, we could stop right now.

0:15:43 > 0:15:45This very second.

0:15:51 > 0:15:53Let's make love.

0:15:56 > 0:15:58Right here.

0:16:00 > 0:16:01I want to.

0:16:09 > 0:16:11What are you doing?

0:16:11 > 0:16:13Will you get it off me?

0:16:13 > 0:16:15- Why do you want to take it off? - Oh, just do it!

0:16:18 > 0:16:19OK.

0:16:22 > 0:16:23There you go.

0:16:26 > 0:16:30What do you think it's worth, Janine?

0:16:30 > 0:16:32I don't know.

0:16:32 > 0:16:33Is it solid gold?

0:16:33 > 0:16:37If I told you it was priceless, what would you say?

0:16:38 > 0:16:42I gave it to your mother the day you were born.

0:16:45 > 0:16:46Open it up.

0:16:50 > 0:16:54That picture was taken

0:16:54 > 0:16:57on your third birthday.

0:16:57 > 0:17:00Your mother loved that photograph.

0:17:00 > 0:17:02And so do I.

0:17:02 > 0:17:05You were such a happy child.

0:17:05 > 0:17:08Yeah, well, that's not the way I heard it.

0:17:08 > 0:17:13- According to Pat, I was the devil's spawn.- But that was afterwards.

0:17:13 > 0:17:14After what?

0:17:15 > 0:17:19- Do you know what my earliest memory is?- No, what was that?

0:17:21 > 0:17:24It was of my dad

0:17:24 > 0:17:27telling me that Mummy had gone away

0:17:27 > 0:17:29and that she wasn't coming back.

0:17:29 > 0:17:33I thought he meant to the shops, you know. That was the only

0:17:33 > 0:17:35"away" I knew.

0:17:35 > 0:17:38I wanted you to come to the funeral.

0:17:38 > 0:17:40But he wouldn't have it.

0:17:40 > 0:17:44He said you were too young. That it would upset you.

0:17:44 > 0:17:47I knew that he was lying, of course.

0:17:47 > 0:17:49About the going away bit, I mean.

0:17:49 > 0:17:52Not that I could have known what lying was then.

0:17:54 > 0:17:55I just,

0:17:55 > 0:18:00I didn't take it on board that she was dead for days.

0:18:01 > 0:18:04Weeks. It just wasn't mentioned.

0:18:04 > 0:18:05And I...

0:18:05 > 0:18:08I can remember being so...

0:18:08 > 0:18:11so angry at her for leaving me.

0:18:11 > 0:18:17I said to Frank "Who's going to look after Janine while we're all at the funeral?"

0:18:17 > 0:18:24And he said, "Oh, I've got this friend I was thinking of asking."

0:18:24 > 0:18:29I said, "Is it a woman?" And that's when he starts fiddling with his spectacles,

0:18:29 > 0:18:32which was always a sure sign.

0:18:32 > 0:18:34- Pat.- Yeah, well, she didn't come.

0:18:34 > 0:18:36He backed down.

0:18:36 > 0:18:38I'd've killed him if he hadn't.

0:18:41 > 0:18:46I wanted you to come and live with me. You do know that?

0:18:46 > 0:18:48What?

0:18:48 > 0:18:50When it was being discussed.

0:18:50 > 0:18:55Frank said, "I can't run a business and look after a four-year-old."

0:18:55 > 0:18:58So I said, "I will."

0:18:58 > 0:19:01So, you mean that when I was living with Clare

0:19:01 > 0:19:04I could've gone to you instead?

0:19:04 > 0:19:08I begged him. Even though the words stuck in my throat.

0:19:08 > 0:19:09Cos I wanted it.

0:19:09 > 0:19:11- I wanted it so much...- Oh, Granny...

0:19:11 > 0:19:13I wanted you...

0:19:13 > 0:19:18If I'd had a little girl to look after, things might have been...

0:19:18 > 0:19:19Might have what?

0:19:20 > 0:19:24Then afterwards he did everything he could to keep you away from me.

0:19:24 > 0:19:29I say "he", but I think it was more her by then,

0:19:29 > 0:19:34but he just went along with it, you know, coward that he was.

0:19:36 > 0:19:40Well, it's a lovely locket.

0:19:42 > 0:19:44It's a lovely photograph.

0:19:44 > 0:19:46It's yours.

0:19:46 > 0:19:48Keep it. Put it on.

0:19:48 > 0:19:54- No, no, no, I can't do that.- Just for once do what you're told, mm?

0:20:01 > 0:20:03What time is it?

0:20:03 > 0:20:04Oh, I don't know.

0:20:08 > 0:20:10It is half past four.

0:20:10 > 0:20:13What time does it get light?

0:20:13 > 0:20:15I don't know.

0:20:15 > 0:20:16Can't be long now.

0:20:18 > 0:20:19I can feel it.

0:20:22 > 0:20:25Your mother was born at this time of day.

0:20:28 > 0:20:31I'd been in labour forever.

0:20:34 > 0:20:37And halfway through, the sirens went off...

0:20:40 > 0:20:45..and the midwife thought that I might haemorrhage if we moved to the shelter.

0:20:45 > 0:20:51So I was stuck under that kitchen table for another three hours

0:20:51 > 0:20:55with the bombs falling all round.

0:20:56 > 0:20:58No epidurals in those days.

0:20:58 > 0:21:00There was no nothing.

0:21:00 > 0:21:04I thought, "If this is childbirth, you can keep it!"

0:21:05 > 0:21:08Granny, you shouldn't be talking.

0:21:08 > 0:21:11It's wearing you out. You need to rest.

0:21:11 > 0:21:14And then suddenly there she was.

0:21:14 > 0:21:18Bawling and screaming.

0:21:18 > 0:21:21"You've got a beautiful

0:21:21 > 0:21:25"baby girl, Mrs Simmonds."

0:21:25 > 0:21:28And that was Mum?

0:21:28 > 0:21:32And then the midwife pulled back the blackout curtain

0:21:32 > 0:21:34and it was dawn.

0:21:36 > 0:21:39And outside, miraculously,

0:21:39 > 0:21:41birdsong.

0:21:42 > 0:21:47And the room was flooded with a pale yellow light.

0:21:48 > 0:21:55And suddenly the whole thing was alive and just for one moment,

0:21:55 > 0:22:03despite the pain, despite the bombs, despite the wretched war...

0:22:05 > 0:22:10..it was as if everything in the entire universe

0:22:10 > 0:22:15made complete and perfect sense.

0:22:17 > 0:22:20As if I'd been touched by God.

0:22:21 > 0:22:23Granny...

0:22:26 > 0:22:28Would you be very offended

0:22:28 > 0:22:30if I told you that I loved you?

0:22:30 > 0:22:33SHE CHUCKLES

0:22:33 > 0:22:35What? What's so funny?

0:22:35 > 0:22:38Everything's funny.

0:22:38 > 0:22:44The whole damned thing is funny from up here looking down on it.

0:22:44 > 0:22:47Up where?

0:22:50 > 0:22:54Are you really not bothered about the will?

0:22:56 > 0:23:01Well, I'm not saying that I won't feel differently tomorrow...

0:23:03 > 0:23:10..but right now I couldn't give a damn. Honestly.

0:23:12 > 0:23:14Kiss me.

0:23:18 > 0:23:22So, what about these letters?

0:23:22 > 0:23:24Not now. Later.

0:23:24 > 0:23:28I want you to take me into the front room.

0:23:30 > 0:23:32I want to see the sunrise.

0:23:32 > 0:23:35OK, well let me just get your wheelchair.

0:23:45 > 0:23:47Hey.

0:23:47 > 0:23:49What you doing?

0:23:49 > 0:23:51Nothing.

0:23:51 > 0:23:53You go to bed, babe. You're going to need some sleep.

0:23:53 > 0:23:56- So do you. - Yeah, but I'm Superman, all right?

0:23:56 > 0:23:58I can do anything.

0:23:59 > 0:24:01Oh, Arthur...

0:24:01 > 0:24:03What?

0:24:08 > 0:24:11You know I can't cope with this.

0:24:11 > 0:24:17- What?- Knowing that, you know, if I didn't ask you to marry me, then you'd probably stand a better chance.

0:24:17 > 0:24:19Well, I'm glad you did.

0:24:19 > 0:24:20Really?

0:24:22 > 0:24:24- I so wish I...- No, no, no, no.

0:24:24 > 0:24:29I know you don't love me, Merce, all right. But that ain't going to stop me loving you, OK.

0:24:29 > 0:24:31So just don't blow out all hope.

0:24:37 > 0:24:43Listen, Merce, if all this goes wrong, and I'm not saying it will,

0:24:43 > 0:24:50- but if it does, then... I'm coming to Nigeria with you, all right? No arguments.- No.

0:24:50 > 0:24:52So just say, "Yes, Arthur."

0:24:53 > 0:24:55Yes, Arthur.

0:24:55 > 0:24:57Good.

0:24:58 > 0:25:01- You know what?- What?

0:25:02 > 0:25:04I think I'm going to give up the fags.

0:25:05 > 0:25:07Really?

0:25:07 > 0:25:10Yeah, it's suddenly like I don't need them any more.

0:25:12 > 0:25:14It's weird. I don't even want one.

0:25:15 > 0:25:17That's great.

0:25:18 > 0:25:19Abi'll be pleased.

0:25:27 > 0:25:28V?

0:25:28 > 0:25:31Yeah?

0:25:33 > 0:25:35Will you marry me?

0:25:41 > 0:25:42Are you serious?

0:25:45 > 0:25:46Yes or no?

0:25:50 > 0:25:51Sure.

0:25:53 > 0:25:55Why not?

0:25:57 > 0:25:58Good.

0:26:05 > 0:26:07FEEBLY: Pull the curtains.

0:26:10 > 0:26:16Open the window. I want to hear the birds.

0:26:18 > 0:26:20BIRDSONG DRIFTS IN

0:26:20 > 0:26:22Oh, wow.

0:26:23 > 0:26:26- Who'd've thought it? It's amazing. - Closer.

0:26:26 > 0:26:28Closer.

0:26:34 > 0:26:38Hey...listen.

0:26:42 > 0:26:45The world is a beautiful place sometimes.

0:26:47 > 0:26:50We forget so easily.

0:27:02 > 0:27:04Is it me, or does it look different?

0:27:06 > 0:27:08Same old square.

0:27:08 > 0:27:10Same old gardens.

0:27:10 > 0:27:13Same old...rubbish.

0:27:16 > 0:27:17I don't know what it is.

0:27:17 > 0:27:24It's almost like I've never looked at it properly before.

0:27:26 > 0:27:28I know this is going to sound stupid, but...

0:27:30 > 0:27:32..it's almost beautiful.

0:27:32 > 0:27:35It's like I want to go round and knock on

0:27:35 > 0:27:37everyone's door and say "Wake up!

0:27:37 > 0:27:40"you don't know what you're missing, you idiots!"

0:27:42 > 0:27:44Instead they're all just

0:27:44 > 0:27:47tucked up in bed asleep.

0:27:47 > 0:27:49They haven't got the foggiest.

0:27:51 > 0:27:53Isn't it weird being alive?

0:27:55 > 0:27:59I mean, when you really think about it,

0:27:59 > 0:28:03it's just so strange.

0:28:05 > 0:28:07That's the trouble, though, isn't it?

0:28:09 > 0:28:12We don't ever think about it, I mean.

0:28:16 > 0:28:17You're not saying much.

0:28:22 > 0:28:24Granny?

0:29:21 > 0:29:22This is a bit early for you.

0:29:22 > 0:29:25Just getting up or just going to bed?

0:29:31 > 0:29:35- This is a surprise.- Here, Patrick...

0:29:35 > 0:29:36have a smell of these.

0:29:36 > 0:29:39- Mm-mm.- My dad used to love it when the English strawberries came in,

0:29:39 > 0:29:42he reckoned you could start calling it summer then.

0:29:42 > 0:29:44- So what happened to Billy? - Oh, hello.

0:29:47 > 0:29:50Must be drunk.

0:29:50 > 0:29:52Come on, man. What happened to Billy?

0:29:52 > 0:29:57- No notice, no warning. Just, "Here's a 100, and away you go". - Take him to an industrial tribunal.

0:29:57 > 0:30:01Me and Julie are saving up for a flat. What am I supposed to say to her now?

0:30:01 > 0:30:02Oh, no.

0:30:02 > 0:30:04- What?- Well, the sink's blocked.

0:30:04 > 0:30:06Where's that plunger?

0:30:08 > 0:30:10Janine?

0:30:10 > 0:30:12What are you doing in your jimjams, girl?

0:30:12 > 0:30:14Can you just help me?

0:30:14 > 0:30:16Why? What's happened?

0:30:16 > 0:30:19It's my granny...

0:30:19 > 0:30:21What's the matter with your gran?

0:30:21 > 0:30:24She's dead.

0:30:28 > 0:30:30Arthur?

0:30:31 > 0:30:32Arthur!

0:30:33 > 0:30:35- Mmm.- We're due in court in less than two hours!

0:30:35 > 0:30:38- What?- It's twenty minutes past eight.

0:30:38 > 0:30:41You're joking! Erm...

0:30:41 > 0:30:42Mercy!

0:30:42 > 0:30:44Get up! We're going to be late!

0:30:46 > 0:30:52- What were you doing asleep on the table?- I need a shirt, I need a shower. I need my suit, oh, no!

0:30:52 > 0:30:53What is it now?

0:30:53 > 0:30:57- I put my suit in the dry-cleaners. - Don't you have any other smart clothes?!

0:30:57 > 0:31:01I'm going to have to borrow one, you know. Wait here, I'll be back!

0:31:06 > 0:31:08Happy birthday.

0:31:11 > 0:31:14What?

0:31:14 > 0:31:16"A light and airy two-bedroomed apartment

0:31:16 > 0:31:19"set within this sought-after development."

0:31:19 > 0:31:21- You are kidding, right? - I like the look of it.

0:31:21 > 0:31:24Sy, it's on the 15th floor!

0:31:24 > 0:31:28The whole point of us moving was to put us in a better position to adopt.

0:31:28 > 0:31:30- When did you bring this up? - It was just a thought.

0:31:30 > 0:31:32I thought we agreed that...

0:31:32 > 0:31:35No. You agreed...

0:31:36 > 0:31:40We agreed that we would look for a house with a garden, all right?

0:31:40 > 0:31:41Bit of space, away from traffic.

0:31:41 > 0:31:46- In the suburbs, with good local schools nearby?- Yeah. Why not?

0:31:46 > 0:31:47Because I'd rather die.

0:31:51 > 0:31:52Happy birthday.

0:31:54 > 0:31:56Thanks.

0:32:02 > 0:32:04Open it up.

0:32:10 > 0:32:13It's a wild night, apparently.

0:32:13 > 0:32:16- Since when were you into drag queens?- It's not my birthday.

0:32:16 > 0:32:19- What's with the four tickets? - Tanya and Roxy are coming too.

0:32:19 > 0:32:21Roxy I get. But why Tanya?

0:32:21 > 0:32:25I thought it might be nice to have someone to talk to whilst you and Roxy are off doing your thing.

0:32:25 > 0:32:29I guess it was too much to ask for us to just go on our own, eh?

0:32:33 > 0:32:34I'm sorry.

0:32:36 > 0:32:40No, look, I'm sorry, all right?

0:32:41 > 0:32:43It's great.

0:32:43 > 0:32:45Come on, let's eat. I'm starving.

0:32:50 > 0:32:53I tell you what, I'm absolutely giving them away.

0:32:53 > 0:32:56It's a pound a punnet, or three for a deuce, it's up to you.

0:32:56 > 0:33:00- Three.- Three. I knew it would be, love. There you go, treacle. Enjoy.

0:33:00 > 0:33:03- Thank you.- I'll see you after school.

0:33:03 > 0:33:06Get your English strawberries here, big, red and juicy.

0:33:06 > 0:33:09Since when?

0:33:09 > 0:33:11All right, Pat?

0:33:11 > 0:33:14- Where's Billy? - Surplus to requirements.

0:33:14 > 0:33:16- What?- Pat, it's business.

0:33:16 > 0:33:19- There's no room for sentiment. - And what's with the "treacle"?

0:33:19 > 0:33:22Are you turning into your dad?

0:33:22 > 0:33:24What's up with Janine, eh?

0:33:24 > 0:33:29I saw her walking round the Square in her dressing gown first thing this morning.

0:33:29 > 0:33:31I gave up caring about Janine a long time ago.

0:33:33 > 0:33:36Get your fresh English strawberries here!

0:33:36 > 0:33:39They are so red, they are redder than a bishop's face in a brothel!

0:33:39 > 0:33:43'Come have a little taster, come along and ask me.'

0:33:43 > 0:33:45Why not let whatshisface have a go.

0:33:45 > 0:33:48You clearly don't know him very well.

0:33:48 > 0:33:50I'm going to have to call the emergency plumber.

0:33:50 > 0:33:54Come on, Tanya, I've got two precious hours to myself...

0:33:54 > 0:33:57Fine, fine! I'll be there in two minutes.

0:33:59 > 0:34:00Michael not with you?

0:34:02 > 0:34:05No, I haven't seen Michael all weekend.

0:34:05 > 0:34:08Is he having one of his sulks? What's it about this time?

0:34:08 > 0:34:11Same as it's always been about, I should imagine.

0:34:11 > 0:34:16Huh! An emergency plumber who can't get here till this afternoon. What am I going to do?

0:34:16 > 0:34:20- This is where I have to ask myself, "Am I a nice person?"- Sorry?

0:34:20 > 0:34:24When I'm not dealing antiques, I can be a bit of a handyman.

0:34:24 > 0:34:27But first, I need to hear the magic word.

0:34:27 > 0:34:29What magic word?

0:34:29 > 0:34:31Well, "please" would be a good start.

0:34:33 > 0:34:35Oi! People of the caff, this is my last chance

0:34:35 > 0:34:38and I need a suit and I need one now. Anybody?

0:34:46 > 0:34:50It's just that me and Vanessa have got a little announcement to make.

0:34:50 > 0:34:52What sort of announcement?

0:34:52 > 0:34:54You're never?!

0:34:54 > 0:34:56Well, don't get too carried away,

0:34:56 > 0:34:59but yes, Max has asked and I've agreed.

0:34:59 > 0:35:01Oh, wow. That's fantastic.

0:35:01 > 0:35:04I don't believe it! Mum, I'm so happy for you!

0:35:09 > 0:35:10Well, say something.

0:35:14 > 0:35:17Congratulations.

0:35:19 > 0:35:22And there's something else, isn't there, Max?

0:35:22 > 0:35:24You're never pregnant?

0:35:24 > 0:35:25Hardly.

0:35:25 > 0:35:27Max?

0:35:28 > 0:35:29I'm giving up the fags.

0:35:29 > 0:35:31Dad, that's brilliant!

0:35:31 > 0:35:35Can I be bridesmaid? Please, please, please!

0:35:49 > 0:35:53Everything else is sorted. You just take that down to the register office

0:35:53 > 0:35:55- and they'll tell you what to do. - Right.

0:35:55 > 0:35:57Is she going to be all right?

0:35:57 > 0:36:01It's just that I don't think she should be left alone.

0:36:01 > 0:36:04Can you please not talk about me as though I'm not here.

0:36:04 > 0:36:05I'm sorry.

0:36:05 > 0:36:08Is there anything else I could have done?

0:36:08 > 0:36:13Your grandmother was a spirited lady, her body just gave out on her, I'm afraid.

0:36:13 > 0:36:16If you need anything, you know where I am.

0:36:16 > 0:36:18Janine?

0:36:20 > 0:36:22Oh, it's OK, I'm her stepmum.

0:36:22 > 0:36:24I'll deal with this.

0:36:24 > 0:36:26- When did it happen? - Earlier this morning.

0:36:29 > 0:36:30- I'll take over now.- OK.

0:36:30 > 0:36:32Thanks very much.

0:36:34 > 0:36:36- Billy...- What?

0:36:38 > 0:36:40Oh, right. Yeah, I'll...

0:36:42 > 0:36:45How did it happen? Hmm?

0:36:45 > 0:36:49I'd rather just be on my own if you don't mind.

0:36:49 > 0:36:51Come on.

0:36:53 > 0:36:55No.

0:36:55 > 0:36:57Janine...

0:36:57 > 0:36:59now is not the time.

0:37:02 > 0:37:04Come on.

0:37:16 > 0:37:20- When I bought this salon back, in good faith... - It is a poxy hairdryer, Tanya.

0:37:20 > 0:37:25- A poxy hair dryer costs me the best part of 100 quid... - Do you want me to buy you a new one?

0:37:25 > 0:37:29- If I sold you something that didn't work, what would you say? - Have you checked the fuse?

0:37:29 > 0:37:34- What?- You've hauled me all the way down here and you haven't checked the fuse!- Don't throw a hissy.

0:37:34 > 0:37:40- We're going out tonight, remember? - We?- Yeah. The drag revue?

0:37:40 > 0:37:41You, me, Christian, Syed...

0:37:41 > 0:37:45Oh, hello, love. Shouldn't you be on your way to school?

0:37:45 > 0:37:47Lauren?

0:37:47 > 0:37:49Can I talk to you outside, please?

0:37:49 > 0:37:52"Greet your guests over champagne

0:37:52 > 0:37:56"as they enter the romantic setting of The Moot Hall.

0:37:56 > 0:38:01"Walk down the aisle to the enchantment of madrigals

0:38:01 > 0:38:06"played by minstrels in a genuine medieval minstrels' gallery..."

0:38:06 > 0:38:09I don't know, darling. I'm not sure Max necessarily wants a big do.

0:38:09 > 0:38:13Tell you what, we could make it a double wedding!

0:38:13 > 0:38:14Like a BOGOF!

0:38:14 > 0:38:18Think, Mum - you and Max, me and Darren, walking down the aisle.

0:38:18 > 0:38:20With madrigals!

0:38:20 > 0:38:23- What ARE madrigals?- Sorry, Jodie, I just need to grab that.

0:38:23 > 0:38:29- Can I just show you something... - Sorry, no. I ain't got time, I've got to get to work. See you later.

0:38:36 > 0:38:38That's nice.

0:38:38 > 0:38:41Sorry?

0:38:41 > 0:38:42What?

0:38:42 > 0:38:44The locket. Where did it come from?

0:38:44 > 0:38:47She left it to me.

0:38:47 > 0:38:50You mean you've already seen the will?

0:38:52 > 0:38:54You might want to take a look at it actually.

0:38:59 > 0:39:04- Janine...- Oh, don't bother, Pat. Granny told me all about it.

0:39:04 > 0:39:06You and Dad.

0:39:06 > 0:39:10- Her wanting to look after me. You stopping her.- That's not true.

0:39:10 > 0:39:12So you're calling her a liar?

0:39:12 > 0:39:16All I'm saying is that it was a lot more complicated than you can ever imagine.

0:39:16 > 0:39:19How soon was it after Mum died that you jumped into bed with Dad?

0:39:19 > 0:39:21I don't know what she said to you,

0:39:21 > 0:39:26but don't you ever run away with the idea that your father didn't care for you.

0:39:26 > 0:39:30See now, I'm not talking about my father.

0:39:30 > 0:39:31I'm talking about you.

0:39:31 > 0:39:34You didn't care.

0:39:34 > 0:39:39- I'm not having this conversation with you right now.- Answer the question, Pat. How soon was it?

0:39:39 > 0:39:44- We'll talk about it some other time. - In the meantime, I get dumped with...Clare.

0:39:44 > 0:39:48And you wonder why I turned out like I did?

0:39:48 > 0:39:49You always did fight dirty, Janine.

0:39:52 > 0:39:55I'm going to phone Ricky, cos I don't suppose you have.

0:39:56 > 0:39:58MUTTERS: I got Billy to do it actually.

0:40:28 > 0:40:30So, Lauren's just told me.

0:40:32 > 0:40:33Congratulations(!)

0:40:33 > 0:40:34On what?

0:40:36 > 0:40:41Oh. Yeah, well, I'm really happy about it, so...

0:40:41 > 0:40:43Yeah, I bet you are.

0:40:43 > 0:40:46You're so transparent, do you know, it's almost laughable.

0:40:46 > 0:40:48Well, you did it, why shouldn't I?

0:40:48 > 0:40:51Do you really think the kids aren't going to see through all this?

0:40:51 > 0:40:54Do you ever stop to imagine the effect on them?

0:40:54 > 0:40:58You're having another baby - you think the kids are going to be all right with that?

0:41:00 > 0:41:03Do you know what else Lauren told me?

0:41:03 > 0:41:05That you'd given up smoking.

0:41:07 > 0:41:10And you wonder why they don't trust you.

0:41:18 > 0:41:20- What are you doing here? - Where have you been?

0:41:20 > 0:41:23Don't tell me - you've moved in and my gear's in a bag.

0:41:23 > 0:41:26I'm looking after Amy and she's playing in her room. I asked you a question!

0:41:26 > 0:41:31- Don't mean I'm going to answer it. - Roxy says she came back Friday night and you'd upped and left.

0:41:31 > 0:41:32Where is she?

0:41:32 > 0:41:34She wanted a couple of hours by herself. She's really upset.

0:41:34 > 0:41:38Sorry to hear that, what a choker(!) I'm going to have a shower.

0:41:40 > 0:41:46- Men! Even if we leave now and the traffic is good, we'll still be late.- He was going to borrow a suit.

0:41:46 > 0:41:49- How long does it take to borrow a suit?- That's the cab.

0:41:51 > 0:41:52I can't cope with this!

0:41:52 > 0:41:55He says he's been held up and he's going to meet us there.

0:41:55 > 0:41:59Why is he doing this to us? Today of all days!

0:41:59 > 0:42:01Grandma, please. Not now.

0:42:09 > 0:42:11We've got to go.

0:42:17 > 0:42:19Hey!

0:42:19 > 0:42:20What do you say?

0:42:20 > 0:42:22Thank you.

0:42:22 > 0:42:24Sorry, I didn't quite catch that.

0:42:24 > 0:42:25Say it again?

0:42:25 > 0:42:28SHE CLEARS HER THROAT

0:42:28 > 0:42:30Right. I'll leave you to take care of this lot.

0:42:30 > 0:42:33Maybe put it in the teapot, I don't suppose anyone'll notice.

0:42:33 > 0:42:36Listen, I am grateful.

0:42:44 > 0:42:45Thanks, you can go now.

0:42:45 > 0:42:49Why haven't you been answering your phone?

0:42:50 > 0:42:54- Is it any good?- Why do you never answer a direct question?

0:42:54 > 0:42:56What makes you think you can ask them?

0:42:56 > 0:42:57Maybe you should read that.

0:42:57 > 0:43:01Why? What's she said to you?

0:43:01 > 0:43:03She's said everything.

0:43:04 > 0:43:06WELL, SHE HAD NO RIGHT!

0:43:06 > 0:43:07She had no damn right!

0:43:07 > 0:43:12- Why?- Why? Because what went on with my mother is not up for discussion.

0:43:12 > 0:43:13She knows that!

0:43:13 > 0:43:15Hold on, she said that you'd had a row.

0:43:15 > 0:43:19- She didn't mention anything about your mother!- What?

0:43:24 > 0:43:25Why? What happened?

0:43:30 > 0:43:33Michael, what happened?

0:43:42 > 0:43:46- Is that him?- No, Lauren.

0:43:46 > 0:43:48Where is he?

0:43:48 > 0:43:50We could be called any moment.

0:43:50 > 0:43:53Oh!

0:43:54 > 0:43:56Here we go.

0:43:56 > 0:44:00It's disgusting, but we need all the caffeine we can get.

0:44:00 > 0:44:03I'm not sure I can even drink it, I'm that nervous.

0:44:03 > 0:44:06Does he not realise the time?

0:44:06 > 0:44:08I should have kept my solicitor on.

0:44:11 > 0:44:15- Arthur!- Wicked, I thought I missed it, man.

0:44:20 > 0:44:21What?

0:44:26 > 0:44:29I'm playing in the yard and I come in the back door...

0:44:31 > 0:44:33and I knew something was up.

0:44:37 > 0:44:39The house is dark.

0:44:41 > 0:44:45Through the kitchen.

0:44:45 > 0:44:46Down the hall.

0:44:46 > 0:44:48I Look in the, erm...

0:44:48 > 0:44:53I look in the utility room.

0:44:53 > 0:44:54There's nothing.

0:44:56 > 0:45:01And I see her foot on the sofa, she's got her slippers on.

0:45:01 > 0:45:03I just know.

0:45:05 > 0:45:07What did you do?

0:45:07 > 0:45:09Nothing. Nothing.

0:45:09 > 0:45:12I just sat there, and waited for my dad to get back.

0:45:14 > 0:45:16With this... Sat there with this.

0:45:25 > 0:45:27Here.

0:45:31 > 0:45:34I used to think,

0:45:34 > 0:45:36I still think,

0:45:36 > 0:45:40"What if I'd done something?" You know, called a neighbour.

0:45:40 > 0:45:43Maybe she wasn't dead. Maybe...

0:45:43 > 0:45:45Maybe I could've saved her.

0:45:45 > 0:45:47Michael, come on, you were six years old.

0:45:47 > 0:45:52- You can't possibly blame yourself. - I don't blame me, I blame him.

0:45:52 > 0:45:54He was never there for her.

0:45:54 > 0:45:55Never.

0:45:55 > 0:45:57Or me.

0:45:59 > 0:46:01My dad was exactly the same.

0:46:05 > 0:46:09And I never, ever want to forgive him.

0:46:09 > 0:46:12It's always easier to blame somebody else, isn't it?

0:46:13 > 0:46:18That's what I do. I always blame everyone who ever hurt me, or let me down.

0:46:18 > 0:46:21My dad, my mum, men.

0:46:23 > 0:46:27But at the end of the day, they're not going to sort it out for you, are they?

0:46:27 > 0:46:30There's only one person that can do that.

0:46:32 > 0:46:33- FRONT DOOR OPENS - Ron?

0:46:35 > 0:46:39- Listen, I won't say anything if you don't want me to.- Ron?

0:46:45 > 0:46:48Rox, I'm sorry. All right?

0:46:48 > 0:46:51- I'm really, really sorry. - Where's Amy?

0:46:51 > 0:46:55She's in her room. She's playing with her doll's house. She's fine.

0:46:55 > 0:46:58I'm going to go, OK? Leave you to it.

0:47:00 > 0:47:03Thanks, Ronnie...

0:47:03 > 0:47:04That's OK.

0:47:07 > 0:47:09What are you thanking her for?

0:47:09 > 0:47:10Don't touch me, please.

0:47:15 > 0:47:18Please...

0:47:20 > 0:47:22Please?

0:47:33 > 0:47:38She travelled to the UK with her sister and parents in 2002

0:47:38 > 0:47:39on a Nigerian passport

0:47:39 > 0:47:42in order to visit her paternal grandmother.

0:47:42 > 0:47:45Whilst here, some difficulties surfaced

0:47:45 > 0:47:47in the marriage of Miss Olubumni's parents

0:47:47 > 0:47:50which meant that when it was time to return to Nigeria,

0:47:50 > 0:47:53she remained behind, in the care of her grandmother

0:47:53 > 0:47:56who was able to place her in a school in Walford, East London.

0:47:56 > 0:47:59So to be clear, Miss Olubumni was here,

0:47:59 > 0:48:01for want of a better word, illegally?

0:48:01 > 0:48:04Indeed. And this state of affairs might have remained unchallenged,

0:48:04 > 0:48:07save for the fact that in the summer of last year,

0:48:07 > 0:48:10Miss Olubumni returned to Nigeria,

0:48:10 > 0:48:12intending, as I understand, to stay there?

0:48:12 > 0:48:14Yeah.

0:48:14 > 0:48:16However, she was to change her mind

0:48:16 > 0:48:20and return to the UK on a six months visitor's visa

0:48:20 > 0:48:23which expired last December.

0:48:23 > 0:48:26When this fact was drawn to the attention of the UK Borders Agency,

0:48:26 > 0:48:31a notice of directions for her removal was served on Miss Olubumni.

0:48:31 > 0:48:35Shortly thereafter, she was to marry a Mr Arthur Chubb...

0:48:35 > 0:48:37It's the Home Office's contention

0:48:37 > 0:48:42that this marriage was one designed solely to circumvent the removal directions

0:48:42 > 0:48:45and as such, should be disregarded when considering this case.

0:48:48 > 0:48:51You have no-one representing you today, Mrs Chubb?

0:48:56 > 0:48:59Can I say a few words on my wife's behalf, please?

0:49:10 > 0:49:15I don't get to see my wife on Saturday nights.

0:49:15 > 0:49:17Even before we was married, I didn't.

0:49:17 > 0:49:18Which is rubbish,

0:49:18 > 0:49:23because I'm a market trader and I work long hours, six days a week.

0:49:25 > 0:49:28Saturday's are supposed to be special

0:49:28 > 0:49:29and yet I don't see her.

0:49:31 > 0:49:33Why?

0:49:33 > 0:49:35Because every Saturday night,

0:49:35 > 0:49:39Mercy goes on a soup run with her church

0:49:39 > 0:49:42to feed and help the homeless.

0:49:43 > 0:49:45She don't talk about it,

0:49:45 > 0:49:49she don't make a fuss about it, she just gets on with it.

0:49:49 > 0:49:52Which is so typical of the Mercy I know.

0:49:52 > 0:49:54One of the reasons I love her so much.

0:49:57 > 0:50:02So to say that she doesn't contribute to society is ridiculous.

0:50:02 > 0:50:08OK? Mercy wants to become a teacher and once her A levels come through,

0:50:08 > 0:50:09eventually she will be.

0:50:09 > 0:50:13She is going to be a great teacher.

0:50:13 > 0:50:15So if you send her back,

0:50:15 > 0:50:17you're not just punishing Mercy,

0:50:17 > 0:50:21you're not just punishing me, you're punishing all of us.

0:50:21 > 0:50:24Let's say that she teaches 25 kids a year

0:50:24 > 0:50:27and she works a minimum of 30 years.

0:50:27 > 0:50:32That's 25 times 30 - that's 750 kids that'll benefit by her staying here.

0:50:32 > 0:50:34Who gets to benefit if she goes?

0:50:38 > 0:50:44The 750 children she might otherwise teach in Nigeria, I would imagine.

0:50:49 > 0:50:52Please, all right? Please.

0:50:52 > 0:50:56I've known this girl since she was nine years old.

0:50:56 > 0:51:00She's the most loving, caring person that I know, all right?

0:51:00 > 0:51:03And sir, you know the Human Rights Act better than I do,

0:51:03 > 0:51:07so I can't argue with you on a point of law.

0:51:07 > 0:51:10I'm just asking you, as a fellow human being,

0:51:10 > 0:51:12Please, please,

0:51:12 > 0:51:15just let her stay.

0:51:15 > 0:51:16Just let her stay.

0:51:28 > 0:51:32"My dearest June. Thank you so much for the photos of the baby.

0:51:32 > 0:51:35"She looks a beautiful little child

0:51:35 > 0:51:39"and I think Janine is a lovely name.

0:51:39 > 0:51:43"I can see now what you mean when you say just looking at her

0:51:43 > 0:51:45"gives you the courage to carry on..."

0:51:49 > 0:51:50And she turns on me.

0:51:50 > 0:51:56- Just like everything that's ever gone wrong in her life is my fault. - That's typical, Janine, ain't it?

0:51:56 > 0:52:01Completely forgetting that this time last week she wanted Lydia dead and buried.

0:52:01 > 0:52:03How much was she worth?

0:52:03 > 0:52:07Oh, that's another thing. The minute I mentioned the will, she changed the subject.

0:52:09 > 0:52:13- Sorry, I'm late but I got a brilliant excuse. Guess what?- Astonish me.

0:52:13 > 0:52:17Mum and Max is only getting married. I'm so excited!

0:52:17 > 0:52:21Is Kat and Alfie about? Only Mum's throwing an engagement party

0:52:21 > 0:52:25- so she wonders if they'll flog her a case of champers on the cheap. - Yeah. Upstairs.

0:52:25 > 0:52:28I'll give it six months.

0:52:28 > 0:52:30Hello, sweetheart.

0:52:31 > 0:52:34- So what's all this? - It's not me. Blame Jodie.

0:52:34 > 0:52:37Babe, can you just tell her it's us getting married, not her?

0:52:37 > 0:52:40I've tried to explain to her, darling, but you know what she's like.

0:52:40 > 0:52:45- You know, last night... - Last night was lovely.- It was lovely and I want to keep it like that.

0:52:45 > 0:52:47I want a wedding, babe, not a circus.

0:52:47 > 0:52:50I feel exactly the same.

0:52:50 > 0:52:54- I don't want any decisions being made that don't involve me, all right?- Fair enough.- OK.

0:52:57 > 0:53:02Only it might be a little bit late to do anything about this Friday...

0:53:02 > 0:53:04the engagement party.

0:53:06 > 0:53:08What I don't understand is

0:53:08 > 0:53:11why couldn't he have told us there and then? Huh?

0:53:11 > 0:53:13Why do we have to wait two weeks to hear?

0:53:13 > 0:53:17- And why a letter?- So he doesn't have to look you in the eyes when he tells you the bad news.

0:53:17 > 0:53:21It's not going to be bad news. Not after the speech that Fats gave.

0:53:21 > 0:53:24Will you stop saying that, all right?! I screwed up!

0:53:24 > 0:53:28- You heard what that judge said - and I walked straight into it. - Oh, Arthur...

0:53:28 > 0:53:31Stop with the whole nicey-nicey thing, it's doing my head in.

0:53:33 > 0:53:36"All marriages experience difficulties.

0:53:36 > 0:53:39"There's no more difficult time than when you've just had a baby.

0:53:39 > 0:53:43"What you call 'indifference'

0:53:43 > 0:53:45"could just be tiredness on his part.

0:53:45 > 0:53:49"It breaks my heart to think of you being unhappy, darling,

0:53:49 > 0:53:51"especially when you're so ill.

0:53:51 > 0:53:55"But I'm glad you find comfort in the baby.

0:53:55 > 0:53:59"Now she really is the most delightful child.

0:53:59 > 0:54:02"In so many ways, she reminds me of you..."

0:54:06 > 0:54:09This morning, I saw her wandering around in her pyjamas.

0:54:09 > 0:54:12It was odd, but I didn't read that much into it.

0:54:12 > 0:54:15- There's a nasty smell around all this.- Her nan just died.

0:54:15 > 0:54:17What do you expect?

0:54:17 > 0:54:18I think back to Barry.

0:54:18 > 0:54:22I think back to that old Jewish geezer who dropped dead on their wedding day...

0:54:22 > 0:54:25Why do you always think the worst of her, Pat?

0:54:25 > 0:54:28Oh, come on! I've known Janine since she was four years old

0:54:28 > 0:54:32and in my experience the worst is usually there or thereabouts.

0:54:32 > 0:54:35Hello! Happy birthday!

0:54:35 > 0:54:38- Hey! Like the outfit!- Thanks. Well, I had to make the effort for the birthday boy, didn't I.

0:54:38 > 0:54:41I've never been to a drag revue before. Quite excited.

0:54:41 > 0:54:44- Well, you certainly look the part. - Hey...

0:54:44 > 0:54:46Everything all right?

0:54:46 > 0:54:49- Christian's just feeling a little old.- Oh, behave!

0:54:49 > 0:54:52How's the house-hunting going?

0:54:52 > 0:54:55Well. Thanks.

0:54:56 > 0:54:59Hey! Here we are, girls and boys.

0:54:59 > 0:55:00How are we doing?

0:55:01 > 0:55:03Card.

0:55:03 > 0:55:05- I'll open it later if that's all right.- OK.

0:55:05 > 0:55:08- What are we all having? - No, I'll get these.

0:55:08 > 0:55:12- Same again, is it? What do you want, Roxy?- Gin and tonic, please.- Right.

0:55:12 > 0:55:14OK, what is she wearing?

0:55:17 > 0:55:19- That's a lovely frock.- Thanks.

0:55:19 > 0:55:20Christian's in a bit of a mood.

0:55:20 > 0:55:22Sy, just leave it out, will you?

0:55:22 > 0:55:27- Why? Because he's suddenly realised how old he is? - I'm not laughing, Rox.

0:55:27 > 0:55:31Come on, Christian, for goodness sake, stop taking yourself so seriously.

0:55:31 > 0:55:35D'you know what? The truth is I'm just not in the mood. Let's do it another time.

0:55:35 > 0:55:39- Christian! - Sy, do you want ice in your orange?

0:55:39 > 0:55:40What's wrong with him?

0:55:52 > 0:55:54I think I owe you a drink.

0:55:54 > 0:55:55Blocked sink.

0:55:55 > 0:55:58It's not the blocked sink you have to worry about.

0:55:58 > 0:56:00It's everything else that's blocked.

0:56:00 > 0:56:02Meaning?

0:56:03 > 0:56:06Actually, I'm just about done here.

0:56:06 > 0:56:10- Some other time, yeah? - Oh, right. Yeah, yeah.

0:56:15 > 0:56:17Well, I'll be damned.

0:56:18 > 0:56:25- If it isn't the heiress.- Sorry? - Come to spend your inheritance?- I don't know what you're talking about.

0:56:25 > 0:56:29I'm just surprised you didn't come dressed in black, wearing a veil.

0:56:29 > 0:56:32I'll have a vodka and tonic, please.

0:56:35 > 0:56:37What have you been saying to him?

0:56:38 > 0:56:43- I don't need to say anything to him, he knows you. Just like I know you. - Yes, and I know YOU.

0:56:43 > 0:56:47So you didn't want Lydia dead this time last week?

0:56:49 > 0:56:52I loved my gran more than you will ever understand,

0:56:52 > 0:56:54Now I've heard it all!

0:56:55 > 0:56:59Oh, you can put on that act as long as you like, young lady,

0:56:59 > 0:57:02but you won't fool me.

0:57:02 > 0:57:03Not with your track record.

0:57:03 > 0:57:06I don't need to stand here and take lectures from you.

0:57:06 > 0:57:08I think you killed her.

0:57:09 > 0:57:10And you know something?

0:57:10 > 0:57:14Everyone else round here thinks it an' all.

0:57:23 > 0:57:24So was I very rude?

0:57:26 > 0:57:27You've been worse.

0:57:29 > 0:57:34So, you, me, Tanya, Roxy, that bar you're always going on about...

0:57:34 > 0:57:36Oh, babe, my birthday was yesterday.

0:57:36 > 0:57:38Every queen should have two birthdays.

0:57:38 > 0:57:42Right, well if I'm a queen then you're my lady in waiting!

0:57:43 > 0:57:45Does no-one need any specs today?

0:57:45 > 0:57:47Booked a couple of days off.

0:57:47 > 0:57:50Can you believe, it's next week?

0:57:55 > 0:57:57I hope you're not expecting me...

0:57:57 > 0:58:00Denise was wondering how your Mehndi dance is coming on.

0:58:00 > 0:58:05- Was she?- I said she'd have to wait. And enjoy the surprise with me.

0:58:15 > 0:58:18Looks like I'm not the only one who couldn't face going home.

0:58:18 > 0:58:19Do you think she's dead?

0:58:19 > 0:58:22Well, if she is...

0:58:22 > 0:58:25tell Nana Pat it wasn't me.

0:58:43 > 0:58:47- We're having an engagement party tomorrow!- V... I'll sort it.

0:58:47 > 0:58:52- We can't have an engagement party with half an arch and no ring. - Babe, I just said we'll sort it.

0:58:52 > 0:58:53I'll go this morning.

0:58:53 > 0:58:54I'm booked in for a manicure.

0:58:54 > 0:58:57When I pick you up after we'll go down the High Street.

0:58:57 > 0:59:01I'm not getting engaged with some cheap ring off the High Street.

0:59:04 > 0:59:07All right look, meet me at the Tube at one.

0:59:07 > 0:59:11We'll go into town, and we'll get something nice. All right?

0:59:11 > 0:59:13OK. Great.

1:00:25 > 1:00:27We're having a party.

1:00:27 > 1:00:29I couldn't face coming back.

1:00:29 > 1:00:31The flat just...

1:00:31 > 1:00:32Well, it felt so empty.

1:00:32 > 1:00:35- They could have broken in any time after...- Mrs Malloy.

1:00:35 > 1:00:37It's Miss.

1:00:37 > 1:00:39I'm not here about the burglary.

1:00:41 > 1:00:43I want him to have a good night,

1:00:43 > 1:00:45but it sounds like it might be a bit...sleazy.

1:00:45 > 1:00:47Oh, I love a bit of sleaze.

1:00:47 > 1:00:50- He's slept with half the guys there. - Hmm, romantic.

1:00:50 > 1:00:55- I think he's worried I'll cramp his style.- He shouldn't be giving it any style. He's married.

1:00:55 > 1:00:57Well, as good as. Right, you, you sit in that chair,

1:00:57 > 1:01:00I'm going to give you one of my special facials.

1:01:00 > 1:01:02Tan, I've got clients.

1:01:02 > 1:01:06Come on, you want him to be the only person there who's getting attention?

1:01:06 > 1:01:08- Really, with this?- Yeah.

1:01:12 > 1:01:13Tanya.

1:01:17 > 1:01:19- Would you like a... - No. She's not staying.

1:01:23 > 1:01:27- Are you old enough to be legal? - Home. Rainie!

1:01:28 > 1:01:31- I'm sorry for your loss. - No you're not.

1:01:31 > 1:01:34It's my duty to investigate.

1:01:36 > 1:01:41- She was the last of my grandparents. - What happened to the rest of them?

1:01:42 > 1:01:46Oh, you know, I polished them off one by one.

1:01:46 > 1:01:49You'll probably find a couple of heads in the freezer(!)

1:01:49 > 1:01:52That's what we do round here when someone dies.

1:01:52 > 1:01:54Unless... Unless, of course, you're a vicar

1:01:54 > 1:01:57and then you bury them under a tree.

1:01:57 > 1:01:59I didn't mean to upset you.

1:02:01 > 1:02:04- Who called you?- It's just a routine visit.- Was it a whale with earrings?

1:02:04 > 1:02:10- Like I said, it's routine.- Tell you I interfered with the will, did she?

1:02:10 > 1:02:15She told you that I told her that I wanted my grandma dead?

1:02:15 > 1:02:17I'm not the sort of person to cast aspersions...

1:02:17 > 1:02:21- Then don't.- ..but old lady suddenly turns up, old lady suddenly dies.

1:02:21 > 1:02:24What happened to innocent til proven guilty?

1:02:24 > 1:02:27Mercy ended up in court, and she didn't do nothing wrong.

1:02:27 > 1:02:30Apart from overstaying her visa.

1:02:32 > 1:02:36Yeah, well, they might be just asking questions in there, you know.

1:02:36 > 1:02:37Yes, darling, they might.

1:02:37 > 1:02:41On the other hand, they might just be going to a fancy dress party.

1:02:41 > 1:02:44Oh, my days. She did it do it, man.

1:02:47 > 1:02:49- Happy now?- Smiling ear to ear.

1:02:49 > 1:02:53Well, just make sure your baubles don't drop, you know.

1:02:53 > 1:02:55They might crack the pavement.

1:02:55 > 1:02:58Lydia was a poisonous, malicious old witch.

1:02:58 > 1:03:00That don't mean she deserved to be murdered.

1:03:07 > 1:03:09You were doing so well.

1:03:09 > 1:03:13- You patronising cow. - That's right, just throw it back at me, yeah, why don't you?

1:03:13 > 1:03:17Cos I'm the one who makes you, I'm the one who pours you a drink.

1:03:17 > 1:03:22Always about you, innit, eh? All my life.

1:03:22 > 1:03:26You can say what you like to me, Rai. I'm not going anywhere.

1:03:26 > 1:03:29Perfect little Tanya.

1:03:29 > 1:03:32Well, if you're so perfect... And look at you.

1:03:32 > 1:03:35Look at you, you are perfect.

1:03:35 > 1:03:38Just go to bed, darling. Sleep it off, please.

1:03:38 > 1:03:41How come your first hubby

1:03:41 > 1:03:44goes and sleeps with his son's girlfriend?

1:03:46 > 1:03:47And what about...?

1:03:48 > 1:03:51What about lovely little thingy, Greg?

1:04:55 > 1:04:58- a rubbish superhero, or he's having an affair.- Mum!

1:04:58 > 1:05:00No-one uses payphones these days.

1:05:00 > 1:05:05Maybe he's got a secret boyfriend that he sees behind his wife's back. He is very well turned out.

1:05:05 > 1:05:09I bet his nails are perfect. Your wife didn't know, did she, darling?

1:05:10 > 1:05:13Perfect nails, well turned out, hair like a drag queen.

1:05:13 > 1:05:16- People will talk, Vanessa. - Only saying.- Well, don't.

1:05:31 > 1:05:34Yeah. Love bubbles.

1:06:13 > 1:06:15They're murder to fix.

1:06:26 > 1:06:28Well, actually, four... actually, eight...

1:06:28 > 1:06:32- and then three of them are broken. - Five feet are still good.

1:06:32 > 1:06:34I thought marriage was meant to be fun.

1:06:34 > 1:06:36No, the wedding is meant to be fun.

1:06:36 > 1:06:38Marriage...is an assault course.

1:06:38 > 1:06:43- You and Mum.- It's just ups and downs. - It's not just ups and downs, Dad.

1:06:43 > 1:06:45All marriages are like this, Tam.

1:06:45 > 1:06:47Dad, the Himalayas are ups and downs.

1:06:49 > 1:06:51If I hadn't bought Yusef back, then...

1:06:51 > 1:06:56All you did was fall in love with a beautiful, feisty girl.

1:06:59 > 1:07:01You're not the first young man ever to do that.

1:07:03 > 1:07:06- Dad, you tried to kill him! - I did not try to kill him.

1:07:06 > 1:07:08I saw the bruises and I smelt the petrol.

1:07:08 > 1:07:10Then I'm glad you're not my lawyer.

1:07:12 > 1:07:16Your father-in-law-to-be is a very clever man.

1:07:17 > 1:07:19I did nothing wrong.

1:07:19 > 1:07:22Why else would they take her away? I'm telling you, she killed her.

1:07:22 > 1:07:24You shouldn't jump to conclusions.

1:07:26 > 1:07:30- She was supposed to be caring for the old girl.- Who you hated.

1:07:30 > 1:07:33- Only cos she hated me. - Why would Janine see her off?

1:07:33 > 1:07:36- Tiff said they really got on.- Money. With Janine it's always money.

1:07:36 > 1:07:39Accusing someone of killing someone...

1:07:39 > 1:07:42that's a big thing to put on anybody's shoulders.

1:07:42 > 1:07:46Every time I give that girl the benefit of the doubt. Every time she proves me wrong.

1:07:46 > 1:07:50Carol, do us two buns, please.

1:07:50 > 1:07:53Take it from me, mud sticks in this world.

1:07:53 > 1:07:54Not to her it don't.

1:07:54 > 1:07:58So you have to be careful who you throw it at.

1:07:58 > 1:08:01Nobody likes to be thought of as a killer.

1:08:01 > 1:08:03So who's the second one for?

1:08:03 > 1:08:06- Made a new friend, have you?- Maybe.

1:08:08 > 1:08:09You working all afternoon?

1:08:09 > 1:08:12No, I'm just here cos I'm bored(!)

1:08:15 > 1:08:16I'm Eddie.

1:08:17 > 1:08:19Did I ask?

1:08:19 > 1:08:22Sticking my nose in. Sorry.

1:09:03 > 1:09:06Destroying my family. Go, Tam, good work.

1:09:06 > 1:09:08For standing up for what you want.

1:09:08 > 1:09:11Standing up to your mum, taking on this place,

1:09:11 > 1:09:15- facing us down with Syed. - I didn't mean to shame you.

1:09:15 > 1:09:17I didn't say you were right.

1:09:19 > 1:09:21It was very brave.

1:09:21 > 1:09:24It's hardly walking into a fire for someone, is it Dad?

1:09:24 > 1:09:27No. But I know you would, if you had to.

1:09:29 > 1:09:31For your wife. For your family.

1:09:36 > 1:09:38You've got courage, Tam.

1:09:44 > 1:09:46Doing this little dance...

1:09:46 > 1:09:48You with your eight feet.

1:09:48 > 1:09:51- Five.- Five, who's counting.

1:09:53 > 1:09:55You're going to be fine.

1:10:25 > 1:10:29You are supposed to be my buddy.

1:10:29 > 1:10:30So call me back.

1:10:32 > 1:10:34Rainie, give me the bottle, will you?

1:10:34 > 1:10:36Give me 20 quid first.

1:10:36 > 1:10:38I was meant to be going out tonight.

1:10:38 > 1:10:42Well, go on. Don't worry about me. Never did before.

1:10:42 > 1:10:45- Didn't you used to have hair once? - Yeah. Give me the bottle.

1:10:45 > 1:10:49- Is that what happens when you marry to her?- I ain't playing your games.

1:10:49 > 1:10:51I wonder if Greg'll start losing his next.

1:10:55 > 1:10:57I thought you were doing all right?

1:10:57 > 1:11:02So I slipped up. I'm not the first to go back on something people swore they'd never go back on.

1:11:02 > 1:11:05- That's it. Enough, enough! Come here!- Let me finish!

1:11:05 > 1:11:07Go upstairs and sleep it off. Come here.

1:11:07 > 1:11:10- You're so forceful. - No-one's laughing, Rainie.

1:11:10 > 1:11:12Come on. Bed.

1:11:12 > 1:11:15That's what your brother said to me. He's very persuasive, Jack.

1:11:15 > 1:11:17I can't deal with this.

1:11:17 > 1:11:19But then you'd know all about that, won't you?

1:11:19 > 1:11:22Which one was better? Jack or Max?

1:11:22 > 1:11:24That's enough! Come on, upstairs.

1:11:24 > 1:11:26Come on. Upstairs, sleep it off.

1:11:26 > 1:11:31- All right, get off me. - One foot in front of the other. Keep going.

1:11:31 > 1:11:33- I messed it all up.- No, you didn't.

1:11:33 > 1:11:35What if she gets sent back cos of what I said?

1:11:35 > 1:11:39- Gents, you gonna go and see Tam?- No, we were just going to chill at mine.

1:11:39 > 1:11:42That wasn't a question.

1:11:42 > 1:11:45He's a bit worried about his dance for the mehndi.

1:11:45 > 1:11:48And you want some of Fatboy moves, huh?

1:11:48 > 1:11:51Oh, oh. Oo-o-oh.

1:11:51 > 1:11:52Come on.

1:11:52 > 1:11:56Well, I think he'll appreciate your chips at least.

1:12:00 > 1:12:01Do I have to wear a vest top?

1:12:03 > 1:12:06Are you sure about this? Cos I tell you something, I'm not.

1:12:06 > 1:12:08Course I'm sure.

1:12:08 > 1:12:10Why don't we go somewhere else, eh?

1:12:10 > 1:12:13- I've booked you a stripper now. - I hope you haven't.

1:12:14 > 1:12:17I'm just really worried you're going to hate it.

1:12:17 > 1:12:19I'll just pretend it's a wildlife documentary.

1:12:19 > 1:12:22You know, gays in their natural habitat.

1:12:22 > 1:12:24Are you trying to wind me up?!

1:12:24 > 1:12:29Come on, we never go anywhere like this together.

1:12:29 > 1:12:31You never answered me.

1:12:31 > 1:12:33About the vest.

1:12:35 > 1:12:39So I'm thinking we do a little Bollywood mix and blend and that, you know.

1:12:39 > 1:12:42Start off with a love story ting.

1:12:42 > 1:12:46- And then, yeah, what we do... - Watch the menus.

1:12:46 > 1:12:51Sorry about that, bruv. But then we do like, the village girl thing, you know, like...

1:12:51 > 1:12:53- I ain't doing that. - Come on, man.

1:12:53 > 1:12:56And then we stick in some sick slow-mo street style.

1:12:57 > 1:12:59- We've got four days.- Yeah.

1:12:59 > 1:13:02And then we scratch it all together with a little bit of baseline.

1:13:02 > 1:13:07And then we top it all off with the Slumdog train station, you know.

1:13:07 > 1:13:10- Boo-yaka(!)- Come on, man. Come on.

1:13:10 > 1:13:14- I don't really look good in orange. - Just your skin tone then?

1:13:15 > 1:13:16I can't do backflips.

1:13:16 > 1:13:18- You might not even be here.- Jodie!

1:13:20 > 1:13:23I mean, I'm not being funny, but she can't really do anything

1:13:23 > 1:13:25if she's in handcuffs and getting on a plane.

1:13:25 > 1:13:29Mercy's staying. In the routine, in the country.

1:13:32 > 1:13:35Still, she can't do backflips, can she?

1:13:46 > 1:13:48Took ages to settle her down.

1:13:51 > 1:13:53I should go and check on her.

1:14:03 > 1:14:05Tanya. It's OK.

1:14:07 > 1:14:10I just... I just want my sister back, you know.

1:14:10 > 1:14:12I know, I know, I know...

1:14:19 > 1:14:20You and me...

1:14:21 > 1:14:23(No, Max.)

1:14:23 > 1:14:25..we're like that, in't we.

1:14:27 > 1:14:29We're like Rainie.

1:14:32 > 1:14:37Be as strong as you like and one day you know you're going to fall off the wagon.

1:14:49 > 1:14:50Tan?

1:14:50 > 1:14:51Where are you?

1:14:53 > 1:14:57I just got your voicemail. I've been working at Max's.

1:15:03 > 1:15:06Yeah. I rang Vanessa when you didn't answer.

1:15:06 > 1:15:08- Vanessa?- Yeah.

1:15:08 > 1:15:11I thought she might be over at the house with you.

1:15:11 > 1:15:16Old bleach for brains didn't want her precious arch interrupting.

1:15:16 > 1:15:17So... And she was out.

1:15:17 > 1:15:19She was out with Max, so.

1:15:25 > 1:15:28Listen, couple of hours a day. We are gonna smash this!

1:15:28 > 1:15:31- Couple of hours? - One look at the Fats' routine

1:15:31 > 1:15:34- and it'll be, "Afia, you are the weakest link, bye-bye."- Will it?

1:15:34 > 1:15:38- Yeah. Not that it's a competition, or anything.- That's what I heard.

1:15:38 > 1:15:40No competition at all.

1:15:43 > 1:15:44D'you want a drink?

1:15:44 > 1:15:50Hey. Listen, about yesterday. You know, flipping out and that.

1:15:50 > 1:15:51It's OK. You were stressed.

1:15:53 > 1:15:57- You didn't come home. - No, I crashed at Darren's.

1:15:59 > 1:16:01Look, I'm sorry.

1:16:01 > 1:16:03About everything, you know.

1:16:03 > 1:16:05I just wish none of this had happened.

1:16:05 > 1:16:07It's not like it's your fault.

1:16:08 > 1:16:12Yeah, but I just want you to be able to stay, you know.

1:16:20 > 1:16:23- This is way better than school. - You're really quick, you know?

1:16:23 > 1:16:26Took me months to figure out how these reels work.

1:16:26 > 1:16:32So, tomorrow you'll be able to tell your teachers how to win a jackpot every time.

1:16:34 > 1:16:38- What are you doing?- I asked him.

1:16:38 > 1:16:40Not got any friends your own age to play with?

1:16:40 > 1:16:42I, er...

1:16:42 > 1:16:45I bumped into him. Coming out of school.

1:16:47 > 1:16:51- He's only giving me a hand. - Always let a lady know what you're up to before you're up to it.

1:16:52 > 1:16:55Trust me, it'll save you a whole lot of trouble.

1:16:56 > 1:16:59I hope you scrub that table down when you're finished.

1:16:59 > 1:17:01I'll scrub the table.

1:17:01 > 1:17:04Scrub the worktop, scrub the floor.

1:17:08 > 1:17:11I've not seen him as happy as this since his dad went away.

1:17:11 > 1:17:12Well, it's not easy, is it?

1:17:12 > 1:17:15When families are apart.

1:17:15 > 1:17:17When you can't see the ones you love.

1:17:19 > 1:17:21Tea?

1:17:21 > 1:17:27First a pint, now a cup of tea. People'll talk.

1:17:30 > 1:17:32What?!

1:17:35 > 1:17:37Tell me at least one of these is persuadable.

1:17:37 > 1:17:38Just the one?

1:17:38 > 1:17:40Tanya says she's going to be another hour.

1:17:40 > 1:17:42Good. Tell her not to rush.

1:17:42 > 1:17:44Babe. You all right?

1:17:44 > 1:17:50- Christian Clarke.- Danny boy, come here! How you doing, you all right? - You well?- Yeah, good.

1:17:50 > 1:17:51This is Sy.

1:17:53 > 1:17:56- Lovely to meet you. - And this is Roxy.

1:17:56 > 1:18:00- Amazing.- He's the one I've been telling you about.

1:18:00 > 1:18:01Oh, yeah!

1:18:01 > 1:18:02Congratulations!

1:18:06 > 1:18:08Cheers.

1:18:08 > 1:18:12- Rainie, she had a breakdown. - And you couldn't even ring?

1:18:12 > 1:18:15Could you even hear me over that? Rainie had a breakdown.

1:18:15 > 1:18:18Can you hear me? She was going mental, smashing up the house.

1:18:18 > 1:18:20And that's your problem, is it?

1:18:20 > 1:18:22It was Tanya. She was terrified.

1:18:22 > 1:18:24- Oh, poor Tanya. - Greg was out getting filler.

1:18:24 > 1:18:27- You want the house full of holes? - You couldn't get there fast enough.

1:18:27 > 1:18:29Three-year-old in the house...

1:18:29 > 1:18:31- Oscar was at nursery.- He weren't.

1:18:31 > 1:18:34You want to go round Tanya's and check, do you?

1:18:34 > 1:18:36Well, go on!

1:18:36 > 1:18:39- I still don't get why Max didn't just come and get me. - Rainie was...

1:18:39 > 1:18:42- I was only across the road. - She was out of control, Greg.

1:18:42 > 1:18:45- Out of control? He still didn't come over? - He wanted to come and get you but...

1:18:45 > 1:18:48that would've meant leaving me on my own with her. I was scared.

1:18:48 > 1:18:50I was terrified, Greg. I've never seen her like this.

1:18:50 > 1:18:55- Like what?- She just came at me. - What do you mean, she came at you?

1:18:55 > 1:18:57She just came at me! With a...kitchen knife.

1:18:57 > 1:19:01I was stood outside that Tube station for 45 minutes, Max.

1:19:01 > 1:19:03My ex-sister-in-law about to self-destruct

1:19:03 > 1:19:05so sorry for not thinking of buying you diamonds(!)

1:19:05 > 1:19:08V, the whole world don't revolve around you, you know.

1:19:08 > 1:19:09- I didn't say it did.- My life here...

1:19:09 > 1:19:12is complicated. If you can't get your head round it...

1:19:12 > 1:19:13Don't you want to marry me?

1:19:13 > 1:19:16I'm not saying that at all. I'm saying this has got to stop.

1:19:16 > 1:19:18All your little petty insecurities.

1:19:21 > 1:19:23Don't you dare turn this round on me.

1:19:23 > 1:19:25Me and Tanya, we've got kids.

1:19:25 > 1:19:28We've got history... but that's all it is. History.

1:19:29 > 1:19:31But if you can't deal with it.

1:19:34 > 1:19:36I can deal with it.

1:19:38 > 1:19:41She has got to go. It was only meant to be for a few days.

1:19:41 > 1:19:44- Greg! She's my sister. - If she can lose control like that...

1:19:44 > 1:19:47She didn't really lose control, honestly.

1:19:47 > 1:19:50She came at you with a kitchen knife!

1:19:50 > 1:19:53I'm sorry, but she has got to go.

1:20:01 > 1:20:04- You told them, didn't you? - Don't know what you're on about.

1:20:04 > 1:20:06You told them a pack of lies.

1:20:06 > 1:20:08It wasn't lies, though. Was it?

1:20:08 > 1:20:11You know what, I'm so glad that my dad's dead.

1:20:11 > 1:20:15So that he didn't have to see what a cow his beloved Pat's become.

1:20:15 > 1:20:17And you think he'd be proud of you?

1:20:17 > 1:20:19Killing old ladies?

1:20:19 > 1:20:22I didn't kill her!

1:20:22 > 1:20:24Taking you away in that police car never happened?

1:20:24 > 1:20:28You've just got it wrong. All right?

1:20:28 > 1:20:32- You've got it wrong. I loved her. And I haven't killed her.- Yeah, right.

1:20:32 > 1:20:34Yeah, well...

1:20:34 > 1:20:37Might have known she'd get you on side.

1:20:37 > 1:20:39Tell you what she did, did she?

1:20:39 > 1:20:41She didn't do anything.

1:20:41 > 1:20:44I called them.

1:20:44 > 1:20:46Me.

1:20:51 > 1:20:54D'you know what, babe, I don't like it here. Too many memories.

1:20:54 > 1:20:57- I can't believe we haven't been here before.- Come on,

1:20:57 > 1:21:00- can't we go somewhere else? - No! We're having fun.- I'm not.

1:21:00 > 1:21:02And Sy's probably hating it.

1:21:02 > 1:21:04Syed is doing just fine.

1:21:04 > 1:21:07He's trying hard for you.

1:21:07 > 1:21:10- Hey, I've just been hearing all your secrets.- He is lovely.

1:21:10 > 1:21:12It's Christian's birthday.

1:21:12 > 1:21:14Thought you were looking a bit older.

1:21:14 > 1:21:16- Oi...- It was yesterday.

1:21:16 > 1:21:20It used to be his birthday every week. Anything so the old tart

1:21:20 > 1:21:21could scam himself a drink.

1:21:21 > 1:21:25How come you haven't brought him out before?

1:21:25 > 1:21:27He don't like going out that much.

1:21:27 > 1:21:31He's not doing the old "lock them up in a cellar" thing again, is he?

1:21:31 > 1:21:33No...

1:21:33 > 1:21:35You poisoned me!

1:21:35 > 1:21:39You ripped my heart out. You threw it on the floor and you trampled all over it.

1:21:39 > 1:21:42- I know what you're capable of. - No, no. You know nothing about this.

1:21:42 > 1:21:45- You stabbed yourself with a carving knife!- I'm talking to Pat.

1:21:45 > 1:21:49- You told me you wanted her dead. - Not like that.

1:21:49 > 1:21:52What sort of dead was it then?

1:21:52 > 1:21:55The sort where you're in hospital and you can't breathe? That sort?

1:21:55 > 1:21:58I bet you tried to change her will. Get your hands on her stuff.

1:21:58 > 1:22:01I've been burgled. There is no stuff!

1:22:01 > 1:22:03- Why did the police arrest you? - They didn't.

1:22:03 > 1:22:05They took me in for questioning.

1:22:05 > 1:22:08Because they knew you killed her.

1:22:08 > 1:22:10Come to think of it, all you ever talked about was money.

1:22:10 > 1:22:13Well, maybe if I had a husband who had any...

1:22:13 > 1:22:17- How to get it, how you'd spend it, and that's it.- Fine. Maybe at first

1:22:17 > 1:22:21I wanted her money. Maybe at first. But I loved her!

1:22:21 > 1:22:23And I looked after her out of love!

1:22:23 > 1:22:27- Love?- The problem with that is, Janine, you ain't got a charitable bone in your body.

1:22:27 > 1:22:31And since when did you become Mother Teresa(?)

1:22:31 > 1:22:33You have no idea what love is.

1:22:33 > 1:22:36You might have got away with what you did to me but you ain't getting away with this.

1:22:36 > 1:22:39She was my granny...

1:22:39 > 1:22:41you know, she was my mum's mum...

1:22:41 > 1:22:45and that's the last link that I had to my mother

1:22:45 > 1:22:49who loved me until someone drove her into an early grave.

1:22:50 > 1:22:53I was just getting to know her.

1:22:55 > 1:22:57She was getting to know me. And I loved her,

1:22:57 > 1:23:00OK? And she died.

1:23:00 > 1:23:03And that's what happens in life.

1:23:03 > 1:23:07People...they die.

1:23:22 > 1:23:26You don't want to push a woman like that too far.

1:23:36 > 1:23:39Oi, watch it, beardy!

1:23:42 > 1:23:46What's going on with all the beards? Since when were beards back anyway?

1:23:46 > 1:23:50Did someone just wake up one day and go, "Smooth is so last season"?

1:23:50 > 1:23:54- And what is with all the chest hair? - Babe!

1:23:54 > 1:23:58I love chest hair, I like running my fingers through it.

1:23:58 > 1:23:59So what was all that about?

1:23:59 > 1:24:01Getting a drink. Do you want one?

1:24:01 > 1:24:04- I meant over there. - I was talking to your friends.

1:24:04 > 1:24:06That was way more than talking.

1:24:06 > 1:24:08- He didn't have his tongue down his throat.- Not yet, babe.

1:24:08 > 1:24:12- Christian!- I wasn't born yesterday. As you keep pointing out to me.

1:24:12 > 1:24:16- You're being stupid.- Yeah, stupid and last year's flavour apparently.

1:24:16 > 1:24:20- I was only talking!- Come on darling, we're going.- Christian!

1:24:20 > 1:24:23I don't want to live with Mum.

1:24:23 > 1:24:24I want to live with you.

1:24:27 > 1:24:31It won't be for long.

1:24:31 > 1:24:33It was only one little mistake, Tanya.

1:24:33 > 1:24:36What happened to "not going anywhere"?

1:24:41 > 1:24:43It's not me. It's Greg.

1:24:43 > 1:24:45So tell him!

1:24:45 > 1:24:50It was one little mistake, Tanya.

1:24:50 > 1:24:52I'm your sister.

1:24:52 > 1:24:55I need you. Please?

1:24:57 > 1:24:59I'm sorry.

1:25:27 > 1:25:31- Here, apparently it all kicked off in the Vic last night. - How can you burn soup?

1:25:31 > 1:25:35Tracey said that Pat and Ryan reckon that Janine killed her nan!

1:25:35 > 1:25:38- Janine wouldn't do that.- According to Tracey, the police said... - I was with her. She was gutted, OK?

1:25:38 > 1:25:40OK.

1:25:41 > 1:25:44- What one do you think? - Trying to impress the in-laws?- No.

1:25:44 > 1:25:47- Want to borrow my aftershave? - Babe, he's trying to impress 'em!

1:25:47 > 1:25:51- What's wrong with my aftershave? - Do you want some soup?

1:25:52 > 1:25:55- No, thanks. - Why don't you give some to Ian,

1:25:55 > 1:25:57seeing as he's looking after your stall?

1:25:57 > 1:25:59You found anywhere to live yet?

1:25:59 > 1:26:02No, no, it ain't that easy.

1:26:02 > 1:26:06You pick up a paper, answer an ad, pack your bags and go. How easy do you want it?

1:26:08 > 1:26:11- I'll find us somewhere. - I know you will.

1:26:11 > 1:26:14Look in the paper...

1:26:14 > 1:26:16Answer an ad...

1:26:17 > 1:26:20Billy? Billy, your soup!

1:26:23 > 1:26:25I thought you were keeping it small.

1:26:25 > 1:26:28Well, you know, how often does a geezer get engaged?

1:26:28 > 1:26:30Yeah, is that a regular geezer... or you?

1:26:30 > 1:26:31Thank you, Lauren(!)

1:26:31 > 1:26:35- Ooh, I'm impressed.- All right? You going to give a hand?

1:26:35 > 1:26:37- What? With these nails? Is that my rug?- Yeah.

1:26:37 > 1:26:42- And...did you get the other thing? - You'll just have to wait and see, won't you?

1:26:54 > 1:26:55Seventh of July?

1:26:55 > 1:26:57They called this morning.

1:26:57 > 1:27:00That's...three weeks away.

1:27:00 > 1:27:03Well, the sooner the better.

1:27:03 > 1:27:06The most likely outcome is a custodial sentence.

1:27:06 > 1:27:09Thank you so much for coming.

1:27:09 > 1:27:11You've got to be prepared for it.

1:27:11 > 1:27:15- You could have saved yourself a journey. You could have phoned us. - Ronnie!

1:27:15 > 1:27:18I'm just saying, there's not much to talk about.

1:27:18 > 1:27:21Actually, Mrs Branning, there is.

1:27:21 > 1:27:24You're just scared that we'll totally show you up.

1:27:24 > 1:27:27- Totally? Who are you, Gossip Girl? - Changing the subject.

1:27:27 > 1:27:30- But I don't need to...- You just did.

1:27:30 > 1:27:33..because me and my girls have got a secret weapon.

1:27:33 > 1:27:35Hasta la vista, baby.

1:27:39 > 1:27:40Afia, Tamwar.

1:27:46 > 1:27:53- They're having a laugh, ain't they? I mean, who's going to pay that much a month for a bedsit?- That's a week.

1:27:56 > 1:27:58I'm just trying to provide.

1:27:59 > 1:28:00Me too.

1:28:01 > 1:28:05I just want them back. All of them.

1:28:07 > 1:28:10- A suspended sentence? That's good. - It's only a possibility.

1:28:10 > 1:28:12Yeah, but there's a chance.

1:28:12 > 1:28:15It depends on the forensic psychiatrists.

1:28:15 > 1:28:19- If we can prove your wife has a serious psychiatric disorder. - But I don't.

1:28:19 > 1:28:20Ron, just let the woman speak.

1:28:20 > 1:28:25- Depends on the psychiatrist but if they say there's a problem that's treatable...- This is crazy.

1:28:25 > 1:28:27Do you want to go down?

1:28:27 > 1:28:32Any suspended sentence would have conditions attached. You'd have to agree to psychiatric treatment.

1:28:32 > 1:28:35- Would you please stop? - The woman's trying to help.

1:28:35 > 1:28:39- By saying I'm mental?- You could get two or three years. - I took someone's baby.

1:28:39 > 1:28:41- Or four or five. - Jack, I took somebody else's baby.

1:28:41 > 1:28:44- You didn't know what you were doing.- Jack, come on!

1:28:44 > 1:28:49- You were panicking. You were grief stricken.- But I still did it. I don't have a psychiatric disorder.

1:28:49 > 1:28:51I should...

1:28:51 > 1:28:53leave you to talk.

1:28:56 > 1:28:58Call me...when you're ready.

1:29:07 > 1:29:09I'm not going to lie.

1:29:25 > 1:29:30MUSIC: "Work" by Kelly Rowland

1:29:33 > 1:29:37- Oh, man, they are good. - They're better than good. - They're much better than good!

1:29:37 > 1:29:40That's it, ladies, nice and sexy.

1:29:40 > 1:29:42Mercy, hands go up.

1:29:42 > 1:29:44Look at Jodie's batty, though!

1:29:44 > 1:29:47And work, two, three, uh...

1:29:49 > 1:29:50Hey!

1:29:50 > 1:29:51Turn...

1:29:51 > 1:29:56- Tam!- Darren!- Arthur!- Arthur?

1:30:03 > 1:30:06Sushi selection. Front of the table, next to the spring rolls.

1:30:06 > 1:30:11- Who's going to eat sushi?- Do you want to sit on the naughty step? - It's not even cooked.

1:30:11 > 1:30:14Thank you, Abi. And smoked salmon blinis.

1:30:14 > 1:30:16- That's not cooked either. - Naughty step, Lauren.

1:30:16 > 1:30:20- All right, see you in A&E, Mummy. - It looks lovely out there.

1:30:20 > 1:30:23- It's not too much? - No. It's beautiful. Just like you.

1:30:24 > 1:30:28- What I said, last night... - Forget about last night.

1:30:28 > 1:30:31You and me, married. It's going to be great.

1:30:33 > 1:30:35- Just for an hour.- No, you go. - He's my brother.

1:30:35 > 1:30:37I'm not stopping you, am I?

1:30:37 > 1:30:40But I want you there with me, don't I?

1:30:40 > 1:30:43- It'll take your mind off everything. - I don't want to go to a party.

1:30:43 > 1:30:46Everyone's going to be looking at me, staring.

1:30:46 > 1:30:51They're family, all right? They're going to be on your side.

1:30:51 > 1:30:54- Do you want us to die out there? - Yeah, Afia's got a choreographer.

1:30:54 > 1:30:57Yeah, but we've got me though, innit, you know?

1:30:57 > 1:31:00Tam, I've got clients booked.

1:31:00 > 1:31:02You see...

1:31:02 > 1:31:06I've got the moves, all right, but they're not strictly halal.

1:31:06 > 1:31:11- So, you'd only have to help us with a few things, you know. - And this guy she's got?

1:31:13 > 1:31:18- Yeah...it's Christian. - Christian?- Yeah. You're my brother.

1:31:18 > 1:31:20Please?

1:31:26 > 1:31:28Happy engagement.

1:31:28 > 1:31:30Thank you. Champagne?

1:31:30 > 1:31:32Yeah, please. Whitney said she'd come later.

1:31:32 > 1:31:36They're always running off somewhere at that age. Probably some boy.

1:31:37 > 1:31:39Ah, I didn't mean running off.

1:31:39 > 1:31:42Thanks ever so much for inviting me, Max.

1:31:42 > 1:31:44Don't be silly, Dot, you're family.

1:31:44 > 1:31:49- Carol, sorry, shoes, please. If you don't mind?- Oh. Right, OK.

1:31:50 > 1:31:53- You do know that's raw fish, Grandma?- What?

1:31:53 > 1:31:56- Lauren!- She ain't going to eat raw fish, is she?

1:31:56 > 1:31:59- She can have a spring roll.- No, she doesn't eat anything foreign.

1:31:59 > 1:32:03Well, I did try a curry last week, Lauren.

1:32:03 > 1:32:07- So, we're going to be sisters. - Yeah. That'll be interesting. - Swap clothes and all that.

1:32:07 > 1:32:10I don't think I've got anything that would suit you.

1:32:10 > 1:32:13I was thinking maybe you might want to borrow some of mine.

1:32:13 > 1:32:16- DOORBELL RINGS - Yeah, two jobs, four grandkids.

1:32:16 > 1:32:21Probably can't spare the couple of hours each morning.

1:32:21 > 1:32:24All right, Tanya. All right, Greg.

1:32:24 > 1:32:29- Congratulations, Max.- Thank you very much. Right, go through.

1:32:31 > 1:32:34- Hello, everyone. All right?- Hello.

1:32:34 > 1:32:35- Mrs Branning.- Champagne?

1:32:35 > 1:32:37- Yeah, yeah.- Champagne?

1:32:37 > 1:32:39Tanya, you look gorgeous.

1:32:39 > 1:32:40It's just an old one, actually.

1:32:40 > 1:32:43You've been in the bathroom for hours.

1:32:43 > 1:32:46- That's us girls for you.- Yeah, older you get, harder you have to try.

1:32:46 > 1:32:50- We've got some news of our own, don't we?- Hey? Oh, not now.

1:32:50 > 1:32:52They're going to find out sooner or later.

1:32:52 > 1:32:57- Tell me you're not pregnant. - Well... No, not yet. But we're trying, aren't we?

1:32:57 > 1:32:59- Eugh, too much information! - Mum, that's brilliant.

1:32:59 > 1:33:03You wait, Greg. Wait till you see what she gets like.

1:33:03 > 1:33:04Congratulations.

1:33:04 > 1:33:08Well, it's not like she's actually pregnant yet, is she?

1:33:08 > 1:33:13Right, shall we get back to celebrating mine and Max's engagement?

1:33:13 > 1:33:15Tanya, shoes, please, darling. Not on the rug.

1:33:20 > 1:33:25Well, it is usually the bride's family that plans the Mehndi.

1:33:25 > 1:33:27It's next week, Denise.

1:33:27 > 1:33:31Usually the bride's family decides they are the bride's family a bit earlier.

1:33:31 > 1:33:36Anyway, I thought we could have waiters with drinks, as people come in.

1:33:36 > 1:33:41- People like to get their own drinks. - Yeah, but some smart waiters

1:33:41 > 1:33:43might be nice. Bit different.

1:33:45 > 1:33:47Would you like them to be topless?

1:33:47 > 1:33:50- These waiters?- No, of course they shouldn't be topless, Zainab.

1:33:50 > 1:33:54Well, it's just, you know, you want things to be "a bit different".

1:33:54 > 1:33:57And you've told me about enough of your hen nights.

1:33:57 > 1:33:59What do you think, Yusef?

1:33:59 > 1:34:02I think...a bar area where people can get their own.

1:34:02 > 1:34:06- Thank you.- And one or two waiters with a welcome drink by the door.

1:34:06 > 1:34:09Lovely idea.

1:34:11 > 1:34:15Do you want to change the food as well? Fried chicken perhaps?

1:34:17 > 1:34:21If you've got a problem with me being here, Zainab, just say.

1:34:21 > 1:34:23Why would I have a problem with my friend?

1:34:23 > 1:34:27As Yusef's partner, it's only right I should be involved.

1:34:27 > 1:34:31- Did I say that you shouldn't?- Well, you know, he's got me and you've...

1:34:34 > 1:34:36Well, you've got both of us, don't you?

1:35:03 > 1:35:06- Jay!- All right, Abs.

1:35:06 > 1:35:11- Oscar's crashed on your bed, darling. Too much football.- You two are banned from going up there.- Dad!

1:35:11 > 1:35:14Seriously, if I see you anywhere near that staircase...

1:35:14 > 1:35:18All right, Max. Not all men are like you. Some manage to keep it in their trousers.

1:35:18 > 1:35:21- Mum!- And I know that Jay is one of them.

1:35:21 > 1:35:23Of course, Mrs Branning.

1:35:23 > 1:35:25It's Mrs Jessop now, Jay.

1:35:25 > 1:35:28Haven't been Branning for a long time.

1:35:28 > 1:35:30Come through. Take your shoes off.

1:35:30 > 1:35:34- What a shame Jim couldn't be here. - Dad would love all this.

1:35:34 > 1:35:37I think I'll have one of them prawn parcels.

1:35:37 > 1:35:39- Here you are, go on have this. - Oh, ta.

1:35:39 > 1:35:40One of us getting married. Again.

1:35:40 > 1:35:46- Never hurts to be adventurous. - I'll get you a coaster for that.

1:35:46 > 1:35:47DOORBELL RINGS

1:35:47 > 1:35:50I've not seen your friend Edward around for a while.

1:35:50 > 1:35:54Oh, Mr Bishop? He's a very busy man, Carol.

1:36:02 > 1:36:04Max, Vanessa, congratulations.

1:36:04 > 1:36:10- Jack. Ronnie.- Yep.- All right?

1:36:10 > 1:36:13Shoes, please.

1:36:16 > 1:36:22- Hey. You're very welcome. - Thank you.- You want a drink?

1:36:22 > 1:36:24Yeah, I'd love one.

1:36:36 > 1:36:41- And I thought...trainers. - With all those sparkles?

1:36:41 > 1:36:44- We're tearing up the rule book. - I'm sorry, I don't do trainers.

1:36:44 > 1:36:46Oh, is this for your wedding then?

1:36:46 > 1:36:49Yeah, for the bit before, the Mehndi.

1:36:49 > 1:36:53- My wedding dress is sorted. - Another couple of weeks, you'll have a place of your own.

1:36:53 > 1:36:55I'll have to live with Tam to start with.

1:36:55 > 1:36:59OMG, why didn't anyone say? Mum'll be going mental.

1:36:59 > 1:37:01I'll soon have a place of my own.

1:37:01 > 1:37:06- Will you?- Yeah, yeah. Billy's going to sort us out a flat. You know, together.

1:37:08 > 1:37:11I could do the rest of the deposit with the second month's rent...

1:37:11 > 1:37:14cos hopefully by that time I'll have a new job...

1:37:24 > 1:37:29Hey, hey. Now there's the face of a girl that's scared she's going to be danced out the hall!

1:37:29 > 1:37:33That is the face of a girl who's late for her mum's engagement party. Come on.

1:37:33 > 1:37:35- See you all tomorrow. - Remember, not a word, all right?

1:37:40 > 1:37:44- If you'd given us these names weeks ago...- I gave you my names.

1:37:44 > 1:37:46But they're not on the list, are they?

1:37:46 > 1:37:48These are Masood's names.

1:37:48 > 1:37:52Do you want to go and pick up the little bags? For the mithai?

1:37:52 > 1:37:56- She doesn't need to do that. - I am perfectly capable of picking up some bags.- Yusef?

1:37:56 > 1:37:57Just let her do it, Zainab.

1:38:01 > 1:38:03I've already got the little bags.

1:38:03 > 1:38:05So you have.

1:38:09 > 1:38:11What time do you call this, Darren?

1:38:11 > 1:38:13Well, we was out, you know, dancing.

1:38:13 > 1:38:16Yeah, that's what they call it these days?

1:38:16 > 1:38:19- No, really. We were practising. - Yeah, for Tamwar's thingy.

1:38:19 > 1:38:22Well you best not be late for the wedding. Shoes.

1:38:22 > 1:38:24And miss sitting in a glass coach with my mum?

1:38:24 > 1:38:29- Let all them white horses go without me?- (White horses?)

1:38:29 > 1:38:33- So has Rainie gone for long? - Just till she gets back on track.

1:38:33 > 1:38:37- Greg said that she really lost it. - Yeah, she'll be all right.

1:38:37 > 1:38:38She'll get there.

1:38:43 > 1:38:47I thought Tanya might say she was happy with the ones she's got.

1:38:47 > 1:38:51I could have lived with that. But you want your own, don't you?

1:38:51 > 1:38:57Gorgeous little smiling baby, giggling away,

1:38:57 > 1:38:59- dribbling all over you... - Greg.

1:39:00 > 1:39:01Sorry.

1:39:03 > 1:39:06I hope that you and...

1:39:06 > 1:39:09I hope that you and Tanya... I wish you lots of luck.

1:39:18 > 1:39:20I've just been helping Tam.

1:39:20 > 1:39:24Afia's got some hotshot choreographer, apparently.

1:39:24 > 1:39:27So I'm going to make sure the boys dance them off the floor.

1:39:27 > 1:39:30That your little revenge, is it? For last night?

1:39:30 > 1:39:33That's petty, Sy, even for you.

1:39:33 > 1:39:37- No, you left me in a bar on my own! - So, that's what this is about?

1:39:37 > 1:39:41No, this is about helping my brother. What about you?

1:39:41 > 1:39:44Let's see.

1:39:44 > 1:39:47- Sisters in law?- It's not a joke.

1:39:47 > 1:39:51- Cheers.- I'm sorry if you think that I ruined your birthday night out.

1:39:51 > 1:39:53But I didn't do anything wrong.

1:40:10 > 1:40:12They're not my family either, Ronnie.

1:40:12 > 1:40:17They're Jim's. Do you know, they ain't even been round

1:40:17 > 1:40:19since he went into the Sunflower?

1:40:19 > 1:40:21You know, the nursing home.

1:40:21 > 1:40:24You and me,

1:40:24 > 1:40:27we don't fit in.

1:40:27 > 1:40:30You know, every time my Nick done something wrong...

1:40:30 > 1:40:34Oh, I ain't saying that you're like him, cos you ain't.

1:40:34 > 1:40:35You're a good soul.

1:40:35 > 1:40:40But, every time, I felt the eyes of the world on me. Staring.

1:40:40 > 1:40:44But you see you've just got to get on with it.

1:40:44 > 1:40:47Hold your head up high.

1:40:47 > 1:40:53"Let him who is without sin cast the first stone."

1:40:53 > 1:40:55Well, look at him here.

1:41:03 > 1:41:06Vanessa's sorting my hair out for the wedding.

1:41:07 > 1:41:11I'm hoping she'll teach me the secret of the helmet.

1:41:11 > 1:41:14Can I get your attention, please, everyone?

1:41:14 > 1:41:18- Have you been smoking? - Not now, Abi, please.

1:41:18 > 1:41:19You promised. You're such a liar!

1:41:19 > 1:41:22Thanks, everyone, for coming.

1:41:22 > 1:41:25I'm not very good with words and all that.

1:41:25 > 1:41:28Don't stop you from talking though, does it?

1:41:28 > 1:41:30They say actions speak louder than words. So I will say,

1:41:30 > 1:41:33in front of my family, my children,

1:41:33 > 1:41:37and all the people that mean the most to me,

1:41:37 > 1:41:38Vanessa, I love you.

1:41:38 > 1:41:41Don't let her mascara run or we'll all drown.

1:41:41 > 1:41:47- Thank you for doing me the honour of agreeing to be my wife. - Oh, Max. It's gorgeous!

1:41:47 > 1:41:49Just like you.

1:42:03 > 1:42:06- I didn't want to go there! - You suggested it!

1:42:06 > 1:42:09- And I'll talk to who I want to. - Go on, then!

1:42:09 > 1:42:12- You don't own me, you can't stop me. - And I'm not trying to!

1:42:12 > 1:42:13Make your new friends. Talk away.

1:42:13 > 1:42:16I would, if I wanted to, but I don't. That's the difference.

1:42:16 > 1:42:18I don't want to talk to anybody else.

1:42:18 > 1:42:20Then why are we arguing?

1:42:20 > 1:42:24Because I want to be able to, OK? I just need some space.

1:42:24 > 1:42:28Well, when you find some, you can tell me where I can get a bit.

1:42:28 > 1:42:31Because until you moved in here I had loads of the stuff.

1:42:31 > 1:42:36- Maybe we should be looking for two new places.- Maybe we should.

1:42:36 > 1:42:40I was only talking to them. It's not like I kissed them. It's not like I took their number.

1:42:40 > 1:42:44Oh, here we go. Bring that up again. New Year's Eve, little kiss, what a tramp.

1:42:44 > 1:42:47Every time we split up you were with another bloke.

1:42:47 > 1:42:50- Anything else?- Just don't judge me by your standards.

1:42:50 > 1:42:53I didn't think I had any standards according to you.

1:42:53 > 1:42:57- I'm a one-man man.- That's right. Unless you're being a one-woman man.

1:42:59 > 1:43:01- Well, that was cheap. - Yeah, well I thought

1:43:01 > 1:43:04we'd already established that. I'm cheap all over.

1:43:05 > 1:43:07All I'm saying is, I just...

1:43:07 > 1:43:09I want my own life as well.

1:43:09 > 1:43:12And you've got to learn to trust me.

1:43:23 > 1:43:26You know, I'm here with you...

1:43:26 > 1:43:29in all your bonkers-ness...

1:43:33 > 1:43:37..because I want to be.

1:43:38 > 1:43:40And if other blokes go after me

1:43:40 > 1:43:42then isn't that proof that I'm here out of choice?

1:43:49 > 1:43:53Sy, it's not about other guys.

1:43:55 > 1:43:58I'm just scared.

1:43:58 > 1:44:00Scared that one day you're going to wake up...

1:44:02 > 1:44:05..and want something else.

1:44:12 > 1:44:14- Syed?- Yeah.- That's good.

1:44:14 > 1:44:16Yeah, I think he was pleased to be asked.

1:44:16 > 1:44:20- And Christian?- Christian's gone over to the dark side.

1:44:20 > 1:44:22But it's, um...

1:44:22 > 1:44:25It's fresh. You know, different.

1:44:29 > 1:44:32- Good different?- Yeah, I think.

1:44:33 > 1:44:37I don't know what Mum will think of it.

1:44:37 > 1:44:39Well, who knows what your mum thinks?

1:44:39 > 1:44:41- And Fatboy and Darren? - Yeah, you asked them.

1:44:41 > 1:44:44No, I just saw you together, and...

1:44:44 > 1:44:47You know you should be teaching me not to lie?

1:44:47 > 1:44:51I thought you could do with two right feet to match those left ones.

1:44:51 > 1:44:53Can't have Afia victorious, can we?

1:44:53 > 1:44:55It's a marriage, not a war.

1:44:55 > 1:44:57Marriage, Tamwar, is always a war.

1:45:03 > 1:45:04So, how are things?

1:45:04 > 1:45:07At home?

1:45:07 > 1:45:10- Does Yusef come round much? - Dad, look, you're wrong about him.

1:45:10 > 1:45:12Sorry, I shouldn't have asked.

1:45:12 > 1:45:15There's nothing going on.

1:45:20 > 1:45:23If someone had told me a year ago

1:45:23 > 1:45:27that you and I would be sat here, planning our children's wedding...

1:45:27 > 1:45:30But you can't see the future. Tomorrow's always unknown.

1:45:34 > 1:45:36And the photographer?

1:45:36 > 1:45:39One to take the formal poses, and one to circulate, more casual.

1:45:42 > 1:45:47When I was her age, we would never have had boys at a Mehndi.

1:45:47 > 1:45:50When we were her age we'd already be...

1:45:55 > 1:45:58Let's not. Please.

1:46:14 > 1:46:19Would you two get a room? Oh, no, sorry. You're not allowed one.

1:46:19 > 1:46:21Did you want something?

1:46:21 > 1:46:24Ah. So sweet. And in love.

1:46:24 > 1:46:27Don't worry, Lauren, you'll get a boyfriend, one day.

1:46:30 > 1:46:33Who would've thought it, you settling for my little baby sister?

1:46:33 > 1:46:35Who said I was settling?

1:46:35 > 1:46:39What? Can't you take a real woman?

1:46:44 > 1:46:47No wonder you ain't got a boyfriend.

1:46:47 > 1:46:51- You all right, love? - Shouldn't I be?

1:46:51 > 1:46:55- Is someone feeling like a bit of a gooseberry?- Shut up.

1:46:55 > 1:46:57Don't know where the glasses have got to.

1:46:57 > 1:47:00Oh, no, they're not in there any more, darling.

1:47:00 > 1:47:02Everything's changed round here.

1:47:02 > 1:47:04Thank you.

1:47:06 > 1:47:11So sorry to hear about Rainie going. Still, least you won't have to call on Max again.

1:47:11 > 1:47:13Morgan wants some more crisps.

1:47:13 > 1:47:16So what happened to Walford's biggest boozer?

1:47:16 > 1:47:19Without anyone driving me to it...

1:47:19 > 1:47:24- You sure you ain't pregnant? - Who knows? The amount me and Greg have been practising.

1:47:26 > 1:47:29Max, I was just thinking, with you and Vanessa getting married,

1:47:32 > 1:47:34I must be paying you too much!

1:47:34 > 1:47:36Don't let Morgan take the crisps in the lounge.

1:47:36 > 1:47:40No, I was just thinking, maybe you two want a bit more privacy.

1:47:40 > 1:47:44Darren, I am banking on you to help me get shoes allowed back in this house.

1:47:46 > 1:47:47There you go, mate.

1:49:21 > 1:49:24Kind of jumped around the room a bit, and then...

1:49:31 > 1:49:35OK, steady income, two-bed flat and experience raising children.

1:50:08 > 1:50:10- He tried to kill my dad! - He's still my father.

1:50:10 > 1:50:12You went behind my back.

1:50:12 > 1:50:15- I was just talking to him.- Well, I don't want you talking to him.

1:50:15 > 1:50:17- He terrifies me.- Afia! - And I don't...

1:52:02 > 1:52:07Well, I don't know. You tell me.

1:52:11 > 1:52:17- Do you want some help?- No, I'm fine. This is exactly how I wanted to spend my engagement(!)
