How many more times you going to go through that dustbin?

-The frame ain't in there!

-At least I'm trying to do something.

-Freaking out won't help.

-We've got to work out what we're going to do.

-What we need to do is tell Phil.

-No!

-Is he giving you a hard time again?

-No, we're all right, aren't we, Jay?

-Where's Dad?

-Gone to get a takeaway. He won't be long.

Look, Shirl... Where's all the rubbish?

In the rubbish bin where it usually is.

He didn't mean normal rubbish. He's after something else.

Why? What's wrong?

-Go on, Ben. Tell Shirley what we're looking for.

-I'm not asking you, Jay.

I've lost my spare hearing aid, that's all.

And why would it be in the rubbish?

I thought you might have chucked it out by mistake, when we were clearing out the other day.

Dad would do his nut if he finds out I've lost it.

It might have found its way to the loft. Phil said he was going to put stuff up there.

-I'll go and have a look.

-No, you're all right. We'll have a look.

Oooh!

Thank you very much for the Pinot Noir, darling.

That's all right. You're welcome.

You see, I thought we could start off with that

and then we could move on to christening the flat,

-if you get my drift.

-I do, babe. But I'm kind of busy tonight, darling.

Look, some of the lads from the team are coming round to talk tactics.

That's all right. I can do a bit of football talk.

You'd be bored out of your mind, babe.

All right then.

Listen, listen.

Sasha's going to be with her mum this weekend, yeah?

So I'm thinking that maybe...

we can have ourselves a little...

flat christening tomorrow instead.

-Tomorrow

-Yeah.

OK. I suppose you're worth the wait.

-You know it.

-Hmmmm.

-OK. Make sure you keep that on ice for me, yeah?

-Absolutely, babe.

-See you later.

-See you, babe.

SHE PURRS

Any joy?

Well, I can handle Phil if he kicks off.

Look, I don't want to cause no trouble. We'll find it.

Here, Jay? Can you throw us another one down, please, mate?

Fish and chips do you?

What's all that banging upstairs?

Oh, I must have put something in one of them bags

that we were clearing out. The boys are having a look for me.

They won't find it up there. Jean came round on some recycling drive.

I gave everything to her.

I won't be long.

Grrr. I can't get the middle right.

Shush! You'll wake Kamil.

-Or someone's scared he'll be caught fraternising with the enemy.

-No.

Tamwar!

-Your father's going to evening prayer.

-OK. Well, I'll get ready.

OK, baba. You play.

Maybe you'd like to join them?

I...can't.

-Um, I've got a bit of a headache.

-Oh.

Sure it's not a hangover?

From all those drinks at lunchtime with Denise?

Yeah.

If you will insist on staying longer, then you could at least follow our rules.

You know, regular prayers, no alcohol.

Zee, come on. You know AJ's not religious.

It's no surprise Aliyah's had it with you.

I mean, she may not have the highest of standards,

-but if this is how you behave in your own home...

-You told Zainab?

Of course he told me. We share everything.

Perhaps if you and Aliyah had done the same,

-you wouldn't be in this mess.

-Zee...

-No.

Let Zainab speak. I'd value her advice.

You've always had such a strong marriage.

Remind me, how many years has it been now?

-29.

-29...

years without a blip.

That's really quite something.

-And neither of you have ever been tempted to stray...

-Of course not!

-How dare you suggest such a thing!

-I'm sorry, forgive me. Maybe...

I'm jealous.

You've always had such a perfect, flawless relationship. No squabbles,

no affairs, no disharmony of any kind.

HE LAUGHS

-It's really unusual in this day and age.

-Actually, it's not.

Not if you have good communication

-and mutual respect.

-And you keep a devout Muslim household

where you practice Islam to the letter.

Well, we try.

That's why it surprises me, you two sharing the same room

and, I imagine, the same bed, when you're no longer married.

Should have got beers in. I don't think Ray's that big a drinker.

Not usually, but he's only just moved into the flat.

Got to mark the occasion in a bit of style.

Throw him a party, that's what we've got to do.

Ray having a housewarming or something?

-Who told you that?

-Oh, no-one. It's just I assumed, the way...

-that they were going on.

-No, no. They're going to talk about footie

-and stuff.

-Oh, that's all right then.

Well, I suppose if you wanted to know exactly what Ray's got planned

you could always just ask him.

You know, Dee, I checked my bothered pocket and it's empty.

-OK, whatever you say.

-Yeah.

-Only...

-What?

-I thought you'd have learnt by now that honesty...

always the best policy.

Says you!

"Oh, Kim, I love the colour of the B&B!

"I would never repaint it the colour of boring while you're away."

-I never said I loved it.

-But you said it was all right.

-But you agreed to change it.

-Not to that!

-It looked hideous.

-Oh, please.

-That's Denise for you.

Only happy to tell the truth when it suits her

or concerns somebody else. Isn't that right, Denise?

You want to go through the recycling?

I'm in the middle of sorting it. I've got a system.

Yeah, well, it's just our stuff.

There's something I need back.

Oh, come on, Jean. We're meant to be mates.

I suppose.

Can you be quick?

Cheers, darling. You all right to hold the fort? I've got to pop to Rays.

-Apparently, half the team have cried off.

-Yeah, yeah. It's fine.

Seriously. I'm not up for getting wasted, mate. I want to go to the gym tomorrow.

Unbelievable. One hat-trick he thinks he's Pele.

Listen, you want to relax. Even he had the odd session here or there.

-Yeah, so did Gazza and look at him now.

-You ain't Gazza, are you?

-Don't worry about the gym, mate.

-I don't think the manager would agree. Hey, Alf?

One night'll be all right.

So, is there going to be any hot women there?

Nah, mate. Sorry. Lads only, yeah? Besides, mate,

-I ain't even on the market and neither's Max or Alfie.

-Thank you.

Just cos I've got a Porsche indoors, doesn't mean I can't look at a Ferrari.

Just cos you lot have settled down, don't mean we all have to suffer.

-Here, what's going on?

-A party.

-Which party?

-Ray's.

Ray's?

She's well clear of the place tonight.

While the girl's away, the boys will play!

No wonder you didn't want me cramping your style!

You don't have to leave.

Zainab will be OK.

-Eventually.

-Yeah? You reckon?

She'll be exhausted after a good row with Denise.

She won't have any energy left for you.

What did she say to you exactly?

Er, a few things.

Including that Zainab wasn't the only one who strayed.

What?

What was this Jane like, then? Is she still around?

She's moved on.

We all have.

And Zainab got back with Yusef. I still can't believe it.

How did you deal with that?

-Didn't she tell you?

-She said I should ask you about that.

It's...

-It's a long story.

-Well...

Three years is a long time to catch up on, Mas.

I'm sure plenty more's happened besides all this.

-Not really.

-So...

Syed marrying a girl, fathering a child

and then becoming a friend to Dorothy's not a big deal, then?

It wouldn't take a genius to work it out.

What surprises me is that you didn't tell me.

-What?

-Syed, your marriage breakdown...

Is that why you've been keeping me at arm's length?

What did you want me to say, hey?

AJ, by the way, my marriage has collapsed

and one of my sons has moved in with the Muscle Mary from next door?

It's more interesting than,

"Weather's been really nice recently."

I don't know why I didn't tell you, right.

And you were very forthcoming about your problems when you got here.

Not so different after all, are we? No matter what Zainab thinks.

Exactly!

Although I've sorted my marriage out.

You could show a little remorse.

Would you rather that it came from someone like me

who has a sympathetic understanding of the situation,

or would you rather it had just come from any old gossip around here?

Oh, so you separate yourself from the other gossips, do you?

Look, AJ would have found out sooner or later.

I mean, surely you was going to invite him to the NEXT wedding?

That is, assuming you would actually ever get round to it.

When are you, by the way?

Mas and I will set a date when we feel we are ready.

I just think that you would feel a lot less stressed if you just,

you know, got on with it.

And I am available to be your matron of honour.

-Or whatever the Muslim version of that is called.

-You know what?

I shall be asking...

someone I trust.

Babe, listen. Me and the rest of them...

Look, we've got a different opinion of constitutes a boys' night.

-Ray been a bad boy, has he?

-How should I know?

I wasn't spinning you a line.

Look, I've only got eyes for one WAG, yeah?

And that's you.

THEY CHEER

Cos someone knows how to keep her bloke on the straight and narrow.

Kat, you know you're more than welcome to adopt the same approach.

Mwah! Come on, Raymundo. Let's go.

Come on, boys!

Ah, to be a young man again with all that stamina and energy.

Young? That lot?!

Teetering on the brink of a mid-life crisis more like.

They wouldn't know a good night out if it smacked 'em in the face.

And I suppose you do?

As it happens, I do.

I had something completely different planned.

You care to join me?

Yeah, man.

-Where's AJ?

-He's steering clear of you.

Zee, ease up on him, please.

He's been through a hard enough time at home.

What's wrong?

Us! Us is what's wrong.

All these lies for AJ. It shouldn't be like this.

But he knows we're divorced now. We can go back to how we were.

I don't want to.

No...I do want to.

But I want things to be how they were...

before that man.

I want us to be married again.

Yeah, well, so do I. I've only been waiting

because you wanted to.

Yeah, but it's not a question of wanting to or not.

It doesn't feel right, does it? Making arrangements for the Nikah

-with Tamwar still around, Afia just having left.

-Yeah, but...

Don't you think he'd want us to be happy? Tam's not a selfish boy.

-If anything, he'd probably welcome the stability.

-You think so?

-I do.

-I do too.

-See how naturally that rolls off the tongue?

-Yeah!

So shall we make a date?

OK!

Since we're making it official...

-Masood! What if AJ comes back?

-Come on, I just want a cuddle.

-Masood, stop it!

-Come on.

No.

All right. Well, we should tell AJ everything about Yusef.

It's better that he hears it from us than anyone else.

Mas!

Do you really think Ray's going to behave himself with all them?

If he says it's going to be low key, it's going to be low key.

You've seen enough drunk blokes in here to know once they've had a few,

they egg each other on and all good intentions go out the window.

No, no, no. Not this time. Ray is on a very strict training regime.

He takes his health very seriously.

You'd better hope Jack doesn't invite any of his "friends" over.

What?

But if you were there, it might stop him from playing up, hey?

Yeah, but I can't just turn up on his doorstep like that, uninvited.

Not on your own maybe. Oh, come on, Kim.

I'm gagging for a break from this place.

What d'you reckon, Rox?

I just told Christian I'd be back in an hour for Amy.

Oh, shame(!)

I can get him to watch her a little bit longer if you want.

Hey, Dee! What you doing tonight?

Can I help you?

-SHE WHISPERS

-Kat. Shirley's upstairs.

Can you hold the fort? I've got to pop out for a bit.

We'll take a rain check on the face packs, yeah?

When you said something different,

it's not what I had in mind.

Didn't realise Coker's first delivery would be quite so big.

I like this.

You making yourself useful?

Cos at your age, that's an achievement.

Go on, make me feel even older.

Don't forget...

with age comes wisdom.

True, true.

When I think of some of the decisions I made as a young man...

Still...

the women and them...

-I got no regrets there.

-That's the difference

between you and me.

Only one man ever meant toffee to me.

Yolande...

Oh, I loved that woman, you know?

I've got to admit I do miss having company,

especially when the nights get cold.

I've never minded my own company.

That's the other thing with the young.

They're always...

e-mailing, messaging,

gassing on their phones.

It's like there's not a second

that's not filled with a distraction.

-I don't envy them that.

-Don't envy their dress sense either.

What is this? A hat...

or a tea cosy?

It's not so bad.

-Here.

-You reckon?

HE LAUGHS

Didn't you hear me shouting?

Anyway, Jean took everything.

Dunno what all the fuss is about anyway.

Jean took all the rubbish?

Yeah. Shirley's over there now, going through everything.

-Why is everyone so obsessed about a load of rubbish all of a sudden?

-No, we're not.

-Just tell him, Ben, will you?

-Later. We've got to get to the Vic.

Tell me what?

Now, Ben. We ain't got a choice!

You know the photo frame...

that I used on Hev?

I didn't get rid of it.

It's been here the whole time. Well...

..at least, it was here.

All right, boys. Get those down you.

-No, I'm all right, thanks.

-I'm fine. Here you go, Jack.

You having a laugh?

-I'm trying to give them up.

-Come on, boys.

We're meant to be training, keeping ourselves in peak condition.

So, Raymundo, what exactly have you got planned for tonight then, mate?

Right. Match analysis. I was thinking we could do a few charts.

You know, discuss formations, what worked, what hasn't worked...

HE LAUGHS

Your faces! Do you really think I'd bring you lot around here

to talk some boring team talk?

Come on, man. Step this way, gentlemen.

-You looked me in the eye and said it was in the canal. You told me it was gone.

-I know.

I went down there with it, I swear. I was trying to build myself up to chuck it in.

-But there was something stopping me. Dad, I was scared.

-No, no, no.

Now is the time to be scared cos the minute Shirley finds it

she's going to hand it in to the old bill and you're going to go down for life.

And the way I feel right now, you deserve it and all.

-Where you going?

-Where do you think, eh?

Well, let me go, all right? Cos if you just charge in there,

-Shirley will get suss.

-You want me to trust you after this, eh?

I'll go with him.

And when we find it, I'll make sure he chucks it in the canal.

You'd better.

KNOCKS ON DOOR

Surprise!

We thought your little party could do with livening up a bit.

Come on.

Where are you?

I found it,

my hearing aid. It was back in my room.

So I've been through all this lot for nothing?

Yeah, sorry.

The things I do for you boys.

You should get off home anyway cos Phil's been wondering where you are.

We'll tidy all this up.

Yeah, too right you will.

Why shouldn't we be in there?

Listen, babe. I really don't think this is your scene.

Yeah? Well, we'll see about that.

I can't believe what that man put you through. I wouldn't have made fun if I'd known.

-About Aliyah...

-Woah.

Just because we've broken up, doesn't mean I'm going to let you bad mouth her. Well, not much anyway.

I really think that...

you should try to reconcile.

With the Aliyah that you detest?

She's not so bad.

All right!

So, we'll never be bosom buddies but...

I really think you should try to save your marriage.

You belong together.

That's what we thought about you and Zainab.

Nobody's indestructible.

-We came back to each other.

-Yeah, and now we're stronger than ever.

Do you want her back?

She should be so lucky!

I'm serious. Be serious for once, AJ.

Maybe we don't have what you two have.

Oh, you do. But it takes work.

-Really hard work.

-Well, you know how I feel about hard work...

-plays havoc with my nails.

-You can't laugh this one off, AJ.

What if she doesn't want to know?

We'll be here. Won't we, Zee?

-Come on. Where is it, man?

-It's got to be in here.

What are you doing?! Where's Shirley?

Well, she had to go.

We'll tidy up when we're finished, Jean. I promise you.

No! No, I'm not having this.

-We've just got one more bag to do.

-No. You cannot treat this like some sort of rubbish tip.

This is our home. Now, will you please leave?

-If you'd just listen, Jean...

-I said, get out!

Come on.

TV: That's what defenders do...

Come on, Rox. Free booze, dancing... It'll be fun.

I've seen livelier care homes.

Look, I can't help it if my man wants to save his energy

for something more important, like yours truly.

Well, I've had enough of this.

-Oi, come on!

-Kat!

-Come on you lot, let your hair down.

Well, those of you that have got it. Come on, have a laugh.

-You can restart training next week. Ain't that right, Alfie?

-Now you know why I married the girl!

-I'm going to get some sambuca.

-I'm putting some music on.

I'm going to open this then.

-Babe?

-Hmm?

-I thought I told you I didn't want to do a big party.

-What's going on?

-Oh, I know. Sorry.

Still, if you can't beat 'em...

-Little Tam...

-I'm not so little any more.

You will find another girl. You trust your Uncle AJ, OK?

OK.

-Goodbye, my lovely nephew.

-Bye.

Let's catch a drag show next time I'm in town.

Yeah, it's not really my thing.

-200 quid. Didn't I say I'd pay it back?

-Cheers.

There's still that £20 you owe me and that bill you left with Denise...

Yeah, that might have to wait. Aliyah froze all the accounts.

-I'd better get an invite to that wedding.

-Of course.

So...

I don't think so.

-All right, if you need anything, you let me know.

-Yeah. Thanks again.

-OK.

And if Shabnam becomes a lesbian, and I don't hear about it...

Catch your train, please.

-We've got go back in there sometime.

-He'll kill me.

-There was nothing we could do, not without Jean going ballistic.

-Dad ain't going to see it like that.

Suppose you think I've got it coming?

Well, I certainly didn't want any of this.

We're still brothers though, yeah?

Just go and face him, will you?

What took you so long? I've been calling you.

Went on a detour to get this.

What's wrong?

Oh, nothing. Just...

Just a bit of an accident. Don't worry about it.

Did Ben tell you about losing his hearing aid?

There's no harm done, he's found it now.

Phil, you need to go a little bit more easy on him,

try and learn to trust him.

Don't tell me what I should do with my own son, all right?

I'm only saying.

-You think you know him, but believe me, you don't.

-I can't talk to you when you're like this.

Careful, it's in one of its moods.

I can't do it, Syed!

-Move your arm!

-The green one, ma!

-What?!

-Follow the colours.

-I'm trying to follow the colours!

-No, don't touch it. You made it go wrong!

-No, you did it.

Didn't there used to be something there?

Yeah, A pair of gold lions?

Oh, yeah. That's right. Hideous. I can't bear...

Stop it! I can't bear the things,

-but we found out they were worth... How much?

-£200.

I knew it. I knew you'd screw it up!

It weren't Ben's fault. If we'd carried on arguing with Jean,

-she'd have got Kat and Alfie involved and it would have been made into a massive deal.

-Yeah...

Well, let's see her say no to me.

Ready? One, two. Let's have it.

-I've never seen you dance before.

-Then you've been missing out.

-How's Alfie put up with that?

-It's all front, innit?

Um, is this a private party

-or can anybody else join?

-We're only messing about.

Come on, babe. You've got to learn to have trust, you know what I mean?

Chill out, babe.

He has got a point you know.

Coming across as a bit, um...

-needy.

-Needy?

Yeah. Come on, let's crack that bottle open shall we? Come on.

What?

She's getting rid of the evidence, isn't she?

-That frame will be gone for good.

-Yeah, what about the tea towel?

We burn it. Then it really is over, isn't it?

What do you reckon?

Who brought that in?

Jean, I think.

No!

No!

THEY LAUGH
