0:00:29 > 0:00:32So he's definitely moving, then?
0:00:32 > 0:00:33I just got a text from Lola
0:00:33 > 0:00:37saying that Ian's getting married the day after tomorrow. Mad house.
0:00:38 > 0:00:43- Going to be all right having the afternoon off? Show support and that. - Yeah. Yeah, course.
0:00:46 > 0:00:49Come on, George. I'll throw in a fish supper for you and the wife.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53I know it hardly covers the cost of the arrangements.
0:00:54 > 0:00:58It's just a little sweetener until the end of the month. That's all.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02Cheers, mate. I really do appreciate it.
0:01:02 > 0:01:06It's 12.30 at the town hall. Bring the kids, yeah?
0:01:06 > 0:01:08All right, mate. Bye.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11So the catering's cancelled?
0:01:11 > 0:01:13Thank you.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18What are you smiling at?
0:01:18 > 0:01:20SHE SHUDDERS
0:01:20 > 0:01:22Someone walk over your grave?
0:01:22 > 0:01:24There she is. My beautiful bride-to-be.
0:01:24 > 0:01:28- Got you a nice cuppa. Sit and I'll bring you some toast.- Ta.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30- I am working here. - KNOCK ON DOOR
0:01:30 > 0:01:34- Get that for us, love. - Love? Don't you mean cheating, murderous slapper?
0:01:34 > 0:01:38D'you know what, I hardly slept a wink after last night.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41I just lay there, listening to you breathe.
0:01:42 > 0:01:47- That is creepy.- I was just thinking, "There she is. The woman I love."
0:01:47 > 0:01:51I can't have estate agents snooping round. I'm meant to be revising.
0:01:51 > 0:01:55- Ian, I'm not even dressed yet! - We did book.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58The wedding, I tell you, everything is just starting to come together.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00It's going to be the best wedding you've ever had.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03- How many do you think I've had?! - Could we just take a quick look?
0:02:03 > 0:02:06- Yeah. Feel free. Just go round.- Dad!
0:02:06 > 0:02:09Love, I tell you. It is going to be magical.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11- What, like when you married Cindy? - What?
0:02:11 > 0:02:13Cos it won't, Ian.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15Yeah, you might've booked a Registry Office
0:02:15 > 0:02:18and, yeah, I expect you'll turn up, but what else?
0:02:18 > 0:02:21- Have you even ordered a cake yet? - Oh, cake!
0:02:21 > 0:02:23Guess not.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26Ian, you're looking for Cindy Beale mark two.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28I'm barely Mandy Salter mark one.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30What are we doing?
0:02:40 > 0:02:42Excuse me, excuse me. Masood!
0:02:43 > 0:02:45Masood! Wait!
0:02:46 > 0:02:48Whoa, whoa, you look terrible.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50You got anything for number 45?
0:02:50 > 0:02:52I dunno yet.
0:02:52 > 0:02:56- Well, come on, it's important. - There is an order, Ian.
0:02:56 > 0:03:00At last! My beautifully altered bridesmaid dresses.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03- Bridesmaids. - Mandy has got bridesmaids, right?
0:03:09 > 0:03:13Yes! Right, Town Hall Registry Office, 12.30 tomorrow.
0:03:13 > 0:03:18Make sure you're there. Bring the missus. It's going to be magical. You don't want to miss it, OK? Yes!
0:03:20 > 0:03:23You want to watch all three Twilight films tonight? Why?
0:03:23 > 0:03:26- Thought you hated them? - That was before the werewolf.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29- DOORBELL RINGS - Nah, me and Oscar are going to watch this Jason Statham film.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32I'm not having my little boy watch that nonsense!
0:03:32 > 0:03:34What's Twilight? That's nonsense, innit?
0:03:34 > 0:03:36- Just topless werewolves running about.- No!
0:03:36 > 0:03:38It's about abstinence, no nookie before marriage.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40You two should have tried it.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42Oi! I heard that! Hello, Jay.
0:03:42 > 0:03:46- Your post, ma'am!- Thank you.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48- Morning, everyone. - Jay, back me up, mate.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50They think they're watching the Twilight films tonight.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52Ain't that Jason Statham film on tonight?
0:03:52 > 0:03:56Yes, exactly. Well done. You've just earned yourself a driving lesson.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58- No, that does not mean you've won! - Yes, it does.- No. Tell him.
0:03:58 > 0:04:02- Family's a numbers game. One, two, three.- So he's part of the family now?- Yes, he is.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05You can't go now. You'll have to take him later. You've booked...
0:04:05 > 0:04:08We're only going round the square. Come on, Jay.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10Did you come to see me or my dad?
0:04:10 > 0:04:13Sorry, sweet cheeks. I thought you was working today.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16- I am. So leave me alone! - SHE SNORTS
0:04:17 > 0:04:19Why you here?
0:04:19 > 0:04:22Washing up? I'm beginning to feel like an house husband.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24Billy, get Whitney on the phone for me, would you?
0:04:24 > 0:04:27Charming. It's the mornings when I love you most.
0:04:27 > 0:04:31Tell her the dresses have arrived and sound her out about moving in...
0:04:31 > 0:04:32again.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35- I've got to interview Jean. - I'm sure you can manage both.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38You're not trying that woman? She'll sink the business!
0:04:38 > 0:04:40I need cleaners. I need to know if these dresses fit.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43And I need to know if I have to put my entire empire on hold,
0:04:43 > 0:04:47while I play peek-a-boo for the next five years!
0:04:50 > 0:04:53I'm Mandy Salter and I'm not getting on that boat!
0:04:53 > 0:04:54Come on, Alfie, pick your phone up.
0:04:54 > 0:04:58Look, you're supposed to be sharing the workload with me because you're my best man.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00Give me a call back, please!
0:05:00 > 0:05:03- By the way, I borrowed that money I found in your jeans.- How much?
0:05:03 > 0:05:06Listen, I was thinking... Bridesmaids. It just occurred to me.
0:05:06 > 0:05:07Have you asked anyone?
0:05:07 > 0:05:10Ian, I'm going to get my nails done for YOUR wedding.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13- You know, what more do you want from me?- Mand!
0:05:14 > 0:05:18- Take it no-one said yes.- You do it.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20Yeah! Mandy would love to have you as her bridesmaid.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23- I mean, she loves you.- Are you mad?
0:05:23 > 0:05:25- Do it for me, then.- What, after how you spoke to me yesterday?
0:05:25 > 0:05:27When did you last do anything for me?
0:05:27 > 0:05:29When was the last time you did anything to deserve it?
0:05:31 > 0:05:34- Thanks, Maria.- It's Marie.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37Smells like compost.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39Yeah, it calms you down.
0:05:39 > 0:05:43I don't need calming. I need Ray to see what I see. The truth!
0:05:43 > 0:05:45Right, you've lost me.
0:05:45 > 0:05:49His daughter's dancing. The flailing limbs. The dis-coordination.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52- Dis-coordination? - As in un-rhythmicality.
0:05:52 > 0:05:56The girl dances like corn bouncing on a hotplate and not in a good way.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58Ah, you're just mean.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01Mean? He's the one bigging her up like she's the love child
0:06:01 > 0:06:03of Justin Timberlake and Usher.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05And before you say it, I know they're two blokes
0:06:05 > 0:06:07but this love child was IVF!
0:06:07 > 0:06:10Yes. Yes, Kim. That's exactly how IVF works.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13I'm sorry, but is this a science class or is it
0:06:13 > 0:06:15a Kim gets it off her resplendent chest session?
0:06:15 > 0:06:19Maybe you should just take her to one of your Kimba classes.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21Do me a favour.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24You should be happy, Dad. You get to spend the day with me.
0:06:24 > 0:06:28Oh, look at this. My two favourite women all under one roof.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30- You all right, babe? - Yeah, yeah, I'm fine.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32Only Sasha can't go to her school trip today
0:06:32 > 0:06:35because someone forgot to bring home a letter for me to sign.
0:06:35 > 0:06:39- I don't care how cotton mills work. - You can't stay at the Vic all day.
0:06:39 > 0:06:43Oh, right. Kim was just saying that she would love to...
0:06:43 > 0:06:44KIM KICKS HER
0:06:44 > 0:06:47..to take your Sasha... SHE COUGHS
0:06:47 > 0:06:51..to one of her Kimba classes, you know.
0:06:51 > 0:06:56Yeah. That's a wicked idea. So long as it doesn't involve gravestones!
0:06:57 > 0:07:00What do you reckon, babe? Want to show 'em how it's done?
0:07:00 > 0:07:02Bust a couple of moves, yeah?
0:07:02 > 0:07:03HE LAUGHS
0:07:23 > 0:07:25- Bridesmaid! - Oh, Ian! You frightened me.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27Mandy would love to have you as her bridesmaid.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29No, I'm Janine's.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31What are you? About a size ten?
0:07:31 > 0:07:35I'm an eight. Ian, I haven't agreed to anything.
0:07:35 > 0:07:39- Lauren, he wants me to be Mandy's bridesmaid. - I thought you were Janine's?
0:07:39 > 0:07:41It'd make her so happy on her special day. Please.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44- I can always slip you 50 later. - Well, ain't that a bit cheap?
0:07:44 > 0:07:48- 100?- No, I mean bribing people to like your wife.
0:07:48 > 0:07:52I know. It's a hassle. There's fittings and dress rehearsals and all the rest of it.
0:07:52 > 0:07:53All right. You do it then.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56We've got that appointment thing, ain't we, with my mum?
0:07:56 > 0:07:59So we're well late already. Sorry.
0:07:59 > 0:08:03Look, you'll still come along to the service, won't you?
0:08:03 > 0:08:07Town Hall Registry Office. Tomorrow. 12.30. Yeah? It'll be magical!
0:08:07 > 0:08:09PHONE RINGS
0:08:09 > 0:08:11Alfie, where you been?
0:08:12 > 0:08:15Yeah, listen, mate. This is important, OK? We forgot bridesmaids!
0:08:17 > 0:08:20What d'you mean you're not coming back?
0:08:20 > 0:08:25The thing is I've got an interview with Billy in, um, 15 minutes!
0:08:25 > 0:08:28So you put the money in and expect other people to do the hard work?
0:08:28 > 0:08:31No! No. I just don't know how helpful I'll be.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34Not very if you don't learn the figures.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36Jean.
0:08:37 > 0:08:38Look out there.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42Go on.
0:08:42 > 0:08:46A boxing gym is the heartbeat of a community.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51Don't just nod. You've got to feel it.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55You know, that's Walford.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59The big, the small.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02The rich, the poor.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07That's the community, Jean. Just beating.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11You don't just put money into something like that.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14Got to put your soul into it as well.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18Right.
0:09:18 > 0:09:22Well, we'd better get started, then.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31It was just so weird. Like, desperate.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33Maybe Mandy just really likes you.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35No-one said yes, more like.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38Yeah, forget maid of honour, maid of last resort.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40That's even more reason for you to do it.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42- Babe, don't get involved.- Hello?
0:09:42 > 0:09:44If you want to chip in, you can pay like everyone else.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46I've already said yes to Janine.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49It'll have to be you then, won't it? I mean, how awful must it be
0:09:49 > 0:09:52knowing you haven't got a single friend in the world?
0:09:52 > 0:09:53Er, no. The guilt trip is not working.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56- You're done.- Lovely. Cheers.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59Oh, d'you know they're moving house as well?
0:09:59 > 0:10:01Yep, saw the sign up this morning.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04Look at your face, look. It's going to be a disaster.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06Oh, hello, Mandy! What can I do for you?
0:10:06 > 0:10:09Um, nails. I suppose.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12Right. Lovely. Thanks for the chop.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14Don't get involved.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19- What was he on about?- No idea.
0:10:21 > 0:10:25OK, Kimba-ettes, thank you so much. Sorry about the change of venue.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28They double-booked me. Come on, Jackie. Come on, Jackie.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31Don't worry, their heads have been busted.
0:10:34 > 0:10:35You OK there, Sasha?
0:10:35 > 0:10:37I'm just doing my thing.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40Yeah? Well, it's my class. And it's MY thing now.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42So watch and learn!
0:10:42 > 0:10:45OK. Let's go. Un, deux, trois, quatre!
0:10:45 > 0:10:49Come on! And the arms! Bend your back, bend your back.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52Give me the arms. Arms!
0:10:52 > 0:10:56You must be very excited at the moment with everything that's going on.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00With the wedding and...
0:11:02 > 0:11:05Lauren says you're moving house.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09Can't be great for Lucy, can it, with the exams coming up?
0:11:11 > 0:11:14Why does everybody assume it's my fault?
0:11:14 > 0:11:18You know, I was minding my own business, working in the club
0:11:18 > 0:11:23and Ian dragged me back here and everything is my fault ever since.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28Hang on, I haven't finished...
0:11:30 > 0:11:31You haven't paid me.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36I always thought there's a lyrical quality to your speech.
0:11:36 > 0:11:38I mean, you'd make a perfect best man for me.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40Ian, bruvver, why you telling me stuff I already know?
0:11:40 > 0:11:44I was thinking you could have a word with Lauren and Whitney. I can pay.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46I mean, do I look like a window cleaner to you?
0:11:46 > 0:11:50I mean, where does it say in my job description window cleaner?
0:11:50 > 0:11:51I do this the whole day.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53I sell my soul the whole day, and for what, man?
0:11:53 > 0:11:55When I go home, the selling stops, all right?
0:11:55 > 0:11:57That is Fats' time, that is my time.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00I put on some tunes. I get down with the ladies. All right?
0:12:00 > 0:12:03I don't do Bar Mitzvahs or weddings, bruv. Best man? What you thinking?
0:12:05 > 0:12:07Did I just hear right?
0:12:07 > 0:12:09Alfie's gone away. He's dumped me in it.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12And he's your best bet?
0:12:12 > 0:12:15I was just passing, OK? Phil, it's none of your business.
0:12:15 > 0:12:20Well, you acting weird, pulling a shotgun wedding, selling your house, that's my business.
0:12:20 > 0:12:24- Now have I got something to worry about?- Thought you'd be pleased.
0:12:32 > 0:12:33You all right?
0:12:33 > 0:12:35SHE SIGHS
0:12:35 > 0:12:38Yeah. Time travelling.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43You know, one day I'll have worked here my whole life.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46- Can I sit down?- Yeah.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49You know, Mandy,
0:12:49 > 0:12:53you don't seem like someone that's getting married in two days.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55How should I seem?
0:12:55 > 0:12:58Excited. Scared. Maybe up and down, left and right.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01You just seem...down.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06Well, there's not a lot to get up about.
0:13:07 > 0:13:11My mum said I'd mess it up. Who am I to argue, eh?
0:13:12 > 0:13:14Mothers, eh?
0:13:16 > 0:13:18Ain't you one?
0:13:18 > 0:13:23Yeah. Somewhere across town, one of my girls is hating me for something I've said without thinking.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25No, my mum meant it.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29You know, Mandy, when you're a mum
0:13:29 > 0:13:31you spend so much of your life being ignored
0:13:31 > 0:13:35that it's easy to forget how much your words mean to your kids.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38I could say something to a mate and it's forgotten in minutes.
0:13:38 > 0:13:41But I say something to one of my babies,
0:13:41 > 0:13:43and they remember it for ever.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45They hate me for it.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47Yeah, that's true.
0:13:47 > 0:13:52You're getting married, Mandy. You should get your mum's blessing.
0:13:55 > 0:13:59Well, she's in hospital. I don't even know how bad it is.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03That's even more reason then.
0:14:07 > 0:14:12You know where I am...if you need your nails finishing.
0:14:16 > 0:14:20- That's well above inflation so we can put that back into the business. - PHONE RINGS
0:14:22 > 0:14:24Oh, that's Billy!
0:14:24 > 0:14:27He says if I don't go now, I've lost the job.
0:14:27 > 0:14:32Jean, look. Jean, look. Look at this kid. See this kid?
0:14:32 > 0:14:34He loves nicking cars.
0:14:34 > 0:14:39Loves it. But when he's here, we can keep him out of trouble.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42Me and Jack, we lack a woman's touch, Jean. You know?
0:14:42 > 0:14:44He looks so young.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47Yeah. If you can think of this place as a home...
0:14:48 > 0:14:51..then it needs a mother. Every boy needs his mum, right?
0:14:55 > 0:14:59What's this? You fancy a bit of sparring do you, Jean?
0:15:02 > 0:15:06See, look. He loves having you here. We all love having you here, Jean.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10Come on. Let's go and celebrate. Let's have a drink.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13- Celebrate?- Yeah, yeah. Celebrate. You're going to be rich, Jean.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16You're going to be very, very rich. Forget Billy. Come on.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21Hey, babe. How'd it go?
0:15:21 > 0:15:23Standard was pretty low. Can I get changed upstairs?
0:15:23 > 0:15:25Course you can.
0:15:27 > 0:15:30She says my standards are low and you just smile?
0:15:30 > 0:15:33So come on, then. How good was she? Bet they couldn't keep up, huh?
0:15:33 > 0:15:36And now you're doing it! You're slagging off my class.
0:15:36 > 0:15:37Babe, I didn't mean any harm by it.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39I don't mean no harm by this.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42That girl's dancing is unholy. It's un-bubblicious.
0:15:42 > 0:15:48- You telling her different sets her up for one almighty fall. - HE LAUGHS
0:15:48 > 0:15:51Does my face say laugh? No, it says run for cover.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53What, you being serious?
0:15:53 > 0:15:57Right. Well, thanks for looking after her, yeah?
0:15:57 > 0:15:59- I'm just saying...- I know she's not the best, all right.
0:15:59 > 0:16:03But what am I supposed to do? Put her down because she wouldn't win Strictly?
0:16:03 > 0:16:05Suppose not.
0:16:05 > 0:16:06Course I'm going to encourage her.
0:16:06 > 0:16:10That's what you do when you're a parent. You big up your kids.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12Sorry.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18When I see that girl, I see everything she can be.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22You just see everything that she can't.
0:16:24 > 0:16:28- I dunno why you put up with me. - Cos I love you.
0:16:32 > 0:16:33Is it?
0:16:33 > 0:16:36You all right there, babe?
0:16:36 > 0:16:38I love you too!
0:16:38 > 0:16:39Your mother's just out of recovery.
0:16:39 > 0:16:43If you wait a sec, I'll take you through. The others are here too.
0:16:43 > 0:16:44Recovery?
0:16:46 > 0:16:47What others?
0:16:49 > 0:16:53Jack. You and Lauren, you're close, yeah?
0:16:53 > 0:16:55Yeah. She's my niece.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57What I mean is, she's a nice girl, isn't she?
0:16:57 > 0:17:00It'd be great to have her at the wedding.
0:17:00 > 0:17:01Town Hall, 12.30. You as well.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04This is nice. I'm five minutes late and you get a ringer in already!
0:17:04 > 0:17:06Well, he sat down, uninvited.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09Marie, nice cup of tea for me, please, beautiful.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12- So what's he been on about? - This isn't a joke, OK?
0:17:12 > 0:17:15So far he's established that Lauren's my niece and that she's a very nice girl.
0:17:15 > 0:17:18He'll be pointing out that we're brothers next.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21I thought Lauren would like to be bridesmaid for Mandy.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24I've got this one. Let me get this straight. Mandy is your aunt?
0:17:24 > 0:17:28- Fiancee!- What? You're marrying your aunt?- Your family, Ian. God.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31I'm still trying to work out how Phil's son is your brother.
0:17:31 > 0:17:32Can you just shut up, please?
0:17:32 > 0:17:36- Ooh! Charming!- That's no way to ask for a favour, is it?
0:17:36 > 0:17:38- I need a bridesmaid, OK! - THEY LAUGH
0:17:38 > 0:17:40No, no. Mandy needs a bridesmaid.
0:17:40 > 0:17:41Forgive me if I get this wrong,
0:17:41 > 0:17:44but isn't that normally the job of the bride?
0:17:44 > 0:17:46- She ain't having cold feet, is she? - What did you say?
0:17:46 > 0:17:49- He's only joking.- Truth hurt?- Derek.
0:17:49 > 0:17:50No. She loves me.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53I've had strippers fall in love with me.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55They probably meant it until my money ran out.
0:17:55 > 0:17:57You take that back.
0:17:57 > 0:17:58See, what you've got to remember,
0:17:58 > 0:18:01is there's always someone with more dough to tempt 'em away.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03- Don't you push me.- Or what?
0:18:03 > 0:18:06You ain't going to ask me to be your bridesmaid?
0:18:06 > 0:18:08Right, that's it! We're closing the caff! Come on, all of you. Out!
0:18:08 > 0:18:12- I haven't had my cuppa tea yet! - I am not a joke, all right?
0:18:12 > 0:18:13- Go on, everybody out. - I haven't finished!
0:18:13 > 0:18:16- You think I'm a joke, just get out!- What?
0:18:16 > 0:18:17Come on, Jack.
0:18:18 > 0:18:20Sorry about this place. It's disgusting.
0:18:20 > 0:18:22They've had a dance class in here or something.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24No, no, it's all right.
0:18:24 > 0:18:29I was wondering what my son would make of his mum
0:18:29 > 0:18:32becoming a business woman.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35A venture capitalist, no less!
0:18:35 > 0:18:36SHE LAUGHS
0:18:38 > 0:18:40Cheers.
0:18:49 > 0:18:54This is my daughter Stacey.
0:18:54 > 0:18:58And Sean, my son.
0:18:58 > 0:19:02I'll tell him later. Well, I'll tell his picture.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04We chat all the time.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08Sounds bonkers, I know.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12I think it's important to stay in touch with people
0:19:12 > 0:19:14when they're not there.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17Especially when they're not there. Don't you think?
0:19:17 > 0:19:20- I don't have any pictures.- Ah.
0:19:21 > 0:19:25- Not even of your mum?- No.
0:19:31 > 0:19:35- What is it?- There was a picture.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38In their bedroom.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41Old black and white one, portrait.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44One of those old portraits. That's right.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48She's young in it. She's younger than me.
0:19:48 > 0:19:52Really odd when you see your parents as children, isn't it?
0:19:52 > 0:19:56It's like an intrusion.
0:19:56 > 0:20:00Yeah. She's wearing a white frilly dress with a bow.
0:20:03 > 0:20:08And she's not happy about it. She's wearing one of these round her neck.
0:20:12 > 0:20:14What happened to it?
0:20:14 > 0:20:16Oh, my dad took it down.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18Said she wasn't that person any more.
0:20:18 > 0:20:22Oh, you never know. He might still have it.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25He might be talking to her like I talk to Sean.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29Lucky him.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35Lauren won't be involved in that wedding now.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38- He's barred from the Bhajee. - What's with the mothers' meeting?
0:20:38 > 0:20:41We've just been expelled from the caff.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44Ian didn't quite get Derek's sense of humour.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47He went mad, slung us all out. Look, poor Marie.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49Look, she's all upset. Come here, darling, come here.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52- Where is he now? - Said something about the chippy.
0:20:53 > 0:20:57Oh, don't go after him, Max. Max!
0:21:00 > 0:21:02Who...?
0:21:02 > 0:21:04Um, that's not my mum.
0:21:04 > 0:21:06Lorraine Hardy?
0:21:06 > 0:21:08No. Lorraine Stephens.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10Oh, I'm terribly sorry.
0:21:10 > 0:21:14- If you'd just like to come back to the day room.- What's wrong?
0:21:14 > 0:21:16If you'd just like to come this way.
0:21:26 > 0:21:27KNOCK ON DOOR
0:21:30 > 0:21:32You OK, Ian?
0:21:41 > 0:21:42Is the stall closed an' all?
0:21:42 > 0:21:45- It ain't funny.- Who said it was?
0:21:46 > 0:21:49People can mock me cos I want to have a best man at my wedding but...
0:21:49 > 0:21:53But to laugh at Mandy? Why shouldn't she have a magical day?
0:21:53 > 0:21:54And a beautiful dress and bridesmaids?
0:21:54 > 0:21:57Course, mate. Course she deserves all that.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59Your Lauren doesn't think so or my Lucy.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01Sad thing is, she don't either.
0:22:03 > 0:22:08Look, Ian, I'm sorry about my brothers. They can be idiots.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10All I've got, right, I've got a venue,
0:22:10 > 0:22:12I've got a honeymoon and I've got a fiancee.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15I don't even know how many people are turning up.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18Ian, why don't you just call it off, mate?
0:22:18 > 0:22:22Because it'll make her feel worthless. OK?
0:22:22 > 0:22:24She needs to have a beautiful day so...
0:22:26 > 0:22:28..so she knows how beautiful she is.
0:22:36 > 0:22:38So what we got here?
0:22:38 > 0:22:42Car. I know just the man for the car.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45Do you a good deal, an' all. Cake.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49Sounds like best man talk.
0:22:53 > 0:22:57Go on, then, Ian. Go on, I guess so.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59No, you can't. I've got...
0:22:59 > 0:23:02Don't expect a big speech, all right? I don't do 'em.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15Here I am...again.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19I am sorry about earlier.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23I can be clumsy with words.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27She was very religious, my mother.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32Heaven and...hell.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37Very, very real to her.
0:23:38 > 0:23:43This - St Christopher, he is - is the patron saint of travel.
0:23:45 > 0:23:48She gave my brother Craig one as well.
0:23:48 > 0:23:53She said that he couldn't help her where she was going.
0:23:57 > 0:24:02Imagine that. Imagine sending yourself to hell.
0:24:07 > 0:24:10You said that this place needed a mum.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17Would you like a hug? Us mums are good at hugs.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32He's gone mad, all right. He's proper lost it, Dad.
0:24:32 > 0:24:36- What you talking about?- Ian! He threw everyone out the chippy and the caff.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38Shut 'em down. Apparently he was screaming in the street.
0:24:38 > 0:24:42- When was this?- This afternoon. They're all talking about it at school.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45Everyone is talking about it! Maybe that's what he wants though.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48Maybe he wants people to know cos he wants it off his shoulders.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51That's why he's losing it. Dad, you've got to do something.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55Hello, love. You want some lunch?
0:24:56 > 0:24:58What's up?
0:25:00 > 0:25:01I'm Ian Beale's best man.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04What? You said not to get involved!
0:25:05 > 0:25:07What's happened?
0:25:07 > 0:25:10Well, sort of volunteered, didn't I?
0:25:10 > 0:25:12Oh. That's lovely of you.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14I thought that Ben was Ian's best man?
0:25:14 > 0:25:18What on earth are you going to say in your speech?
0:25:18 > 0:25:20Talk about all the mad adventures that you two have been on?
0:25:20 > 0:25:23If you need help, ask me.
0:25:23 > 0:25:24Why you so keen?
0:25:24 > 0:25:27Jane's been so worried about Bobby since she left.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30Ian and Mandy married, that'll be the stability he needs.
0:25:30 > 0:25:31- PHONE RINGS - Hello, Max Branning?
0:25:31 > 0:25:33What's up, Jay?
0:25:33 > 0:25:35Nothing.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37You're joking me?
0:25:38 > 0:25:39Max?
0:25:44 > 0:25:47Ian, it's Max. Yeah, your best man.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50Listen, mate, I called the Registry Office on the way back
0:25:50 > 0:25:52and they've just got back to me.
0:25:52 > 0:25:55There's something you need to know.
0:26:00 > 0:26:01What's up with you?
0:26:03 > 0:26:06This morning you said...
0:26:06 > 0:26:08Catering! Cancelled by Mandy Salter.
0:26:08 > 0:26:11Registry Office, cancelled by Mandy Salter. Were you going to tell me?
0:26:11 > 0:26:14Were you going to let me turn up and find out that way?
0:26:14 > 0:26:16Were you even going to bother turning up yourself?
0:26:16 > 0:26:19- I don't understand.- Do you know what I have gone through today?
0:26:19 > 0:26:21How much pride I've had to swallow?
0:26:21 > 0:26:25- I've had some...- To try and give you a magical day. Your special day.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28People warned me off you, OK? And I wouldn't have it.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31I said no. She is not a slapper. She is not a gold digger
0:26:31 > 0:26:34- She is capable of love. - Oh, shut up!
0:26:34 > 0:26:35Just shut up!
0:26:37 > 0:26:39I went to see my mum today.
0:26:41 > 0:26:43I got there but I was...
0:26:44 > 0:26:46I was too late.
0:26:49 > 0:26:51My mum's dead.
