0:00:27 > 0:00:29Surprise!

0:00:29 > 0:00:32Here you go, mate. Happy birthday.

0:00:32 > 0:00:34- Thanks, Dad. - That's all right.

0:00:34 > 0:00:37Happy tenth birthday, mate! Here you go.

0:00:37 > 0:00:40Bet you thought we'd all forgotten, hadn't you?

0:00:43 > 0:00:45Well, hurry up. Open it up.

0:00:47 > 0:00:50- Yeah, see?- Wow, thanks! - See, top of the range.

0:00:50 > 0:00:54Better than any mobile phone you can get nowadays. Really good.

0:00:54 > 0:00:56Is there a birthday boy nearby?

0:00:58 > 0:01:02I tell you what, how about we have a proper Beale family breakfast,

0:01:02 > 0:01:05- all of us together, yeah?- Yeah, I'll look after myself, thanks.

0:01:05 > 0:01:08Yeah, I'm not hungry. See you later, birthday boy.

0:01:10 > 0:01:13Sorry, mate. Not much of a birthday, is it?

0:01:13 > 0:01:14It's OK, I don't mind.

0:01:14 > 0:01:16Thanks for my presents.

0:01:22 > 0:01:27You know, I used to see people going to children's parties before,

0:01:27 > 0:01:30and I used to pity them, and despise them.

0:01:30 > 0:01:34Now look at me. Just... emasculating.

0:01:34 > 0:01:37You can't fool me. You've been fussing over that thing for hours.

0:01:37 > 0:01:39No, I haven't.

0:01:39 > 0:01:42It's Scarlett's first birthday. You're allowed to care.

0:01:42 > 0:01:45I won't tell anyone, don't worry.

0:01:45 > 0:01:47What you got her, anyway?

0:01:47 > 0:01:49Something.

0:01:49 > 0:01:51Nothing special, just...

0:01:51 > 0:01:54I hope you're not going to spend the whole day arguing with Janine?

0:01:54 > 0:01:57No, this is just about Scarlett today.

0:01:57 > 0:02:02You know, I'm going to put all my prejudices to one side and...

0:02:02 > 0:02:04be with my family.

0:02:05 > 0:02:09I'm going to be at the restaurant most of the day, so if you need me give me a shout, yeah?

0:02:12 > 0:02:14Thought you weren't hungry?

0:02:14 > 0:02:16Sorry.

0:02:16 > 0:02:19Peter, can we put all this behind us?

0:02:19 > 0:02:20What about Lucy?

0:02:20 > 0:02:23Well, of course I want me and her to get back to normal, too.

0:02:23 > 0:02:24She's angry, Dad, all right?

0:02:24 > 0:02:27I can't start taking sides, can I? It's not fair.

0:02:27 > 0:02:28HE SIGHS

0:02:31 > 0:02:35You know what? You should've seen Bobby's little face this morning.

0:02:35 > 0:02:37It was his birthday, right, and all we could muster

0:02:37 > 0:02:40was a couple of lousy presents and a bad atmosphere.

0:02:40 > 0:02:44Well, if you were Lucy, would you be able to forgive and forget?

0:02:44 > 0:02:47Anyway, you know, you've got bigger problems.

0:02:47 > 0:02:49- Carl?- Yeah.

0:02:49 > 0:02:52Do you know what? I think I'd even be able to deal with that

0:02:52 > 0:02:55if I had my kids talking to me again. It'd be easy.

0:02:55 > 0:02:57I just thought, right, this morning,

0:02:57 > 0:02:59get us all in a room together and we could...

0:02:59 > 0:03:03Yeah, but you know, darling, you can't force these things.

0:03:09 > 0:03:10Have you heard of health and safety?

0:03:10 > 0:03:13Have you heard of trying to give your child the best of everything?

0:03:13 > 0:03:17What was it, just tangerine and chocolate at the Beale house at Christmas time?

0:03:20 > 0:03:22I'll call you!

0:03:22 > 0:03:24- 'Scuse...- Careful!

0:03:26 > 0:03:28Thank you so much, Trace.

0:03:28 > 0:03:30I wouldn't ask you, only Kat's going off to some party thing

0:03:30 > 0:03:33- and I've got to be at the suppliers all day.- Hurry up.

0:03:33 > 0:03:35Will you just pack it in?

0:03:35 > 0:03:37You have been in a right mood all week.

0:03:37 > 0:03:40If there's something bothering you, you can tell me. I am your mum.

0:03:40 > 0:03:43Wouldn't be anything to do with the love-hearts you were drawing, would it?

0:03:43 > 0:03:45You're so embarrassing!

0:03:45 > 0:03:47I'll take that as a yes, then!

0:03:48 > 0:03:51Did I mention that it was my daughter's first birthday?

0:03:51 > 0:03:53Yeah?

0:03:53 > 0:03:55Great, then make sure that they're on time,

0:03:55 > 0:03:58otherwise I'll make sure your company is blacklisted.

0:03:58 > 0:04:00Thank you.

0:04:00 > 0:04:02What is wrong with these people?

0:04:02 > 0:04:05If I wanted to book a children's entertainer that was unfunny and late

0:04:05 > 0:04:08I would've just put Billy Mitchell in a clown outfit.

0:04:08 > 0:04:11I thought you'd be doing something a little bit more low-key than this?

0:04:11 > 0:04:14Low-key? You think that's what Scarlett deserves?

0:04:14 > 0:04:17- No, of course not, I just thought you and Michael... - This is not about Michael.

0:04:17 > 0:04:20The only person that this is about today is Scarlett.

0:04:20 > 0:04:23If you want to make yourself useful, go and put the DVDs in the party bag.

0:04:23 > 0:04:25I've just got to call the caterers.

0:04:38 > 0:04:40Yeah, hi, it's me.

0:04:40 > 0:04:42You might want to get over here.

0:04:43 > 0:04:46Right, I need food, balloons, banners, party pops...

0:04:46 > 0:04:48- Party pops?- Poppers.- Party poppers.

0:04:48 > 0:04:50- Banners. You can take care of the drinks.- All right, Lo.

0:04:50 > 0:04:52There's no need to go overboard, is there?

0:04:52 > 0:04:54I mean, the party isn't till next week.

0:04:54 > 0:04:57It's not like she's going to remember it, anyway.

0:04:57 > 0:04:59Pops, I'M going to remember it.

0:04:59 > 0:05:01And anyway, I'm not having Lexi missing out, all right?

0:05:01 > 0:05:03PHONE RINGS

0:05:04 > 0:05:06Morning, Janine.

0:05:08 > 0:05:10What?

0:05:10 > 0:05:11When?

0:05:12 > 0:05:16No, no, no, I can't do next week, Janine. It's Lexi's birthday.

0:05:17 > 0:05:20Yeah, I know it's import...

0:05:20 > 0:05:22Yes, I know it's my job...

0:05:24 > 0:05:26OK, yeah.

0:05:26 > 0:05:29All right, I'll see you Monday. Nine o'clock.

0:05:29 > 0:05:31Please tell me this is some kind of sick joke?

0:05:31 > 0:05:35She wants me to go down to the coast for a couple of weeks, look after some properties.

0:05:35 > 0:05:39It's business, Lo. We need the money.

0:05:39 > 0:05:40I'm sorry, darling.

0:05:40 > 0:05:43No, don't say sorry,

0:05:43 > 0:05:47because I am not letting Janine Butcher ruin my daughter's first birthday, all right?

0:05:47 > 0:05:49So now we go to plan B, OK?

0:05:54 > 0:05:57Dad, don't start. I've heard everything you've got to say.

0:05:58 > 0:06:01It's about Bobby.

0:06:03 > 0:06:06Look, he's just a young kid,

0:06:06 > 0:06:08he doesn't understand anything about money or business.

0:06:08 > 0:06:14All he knows is his big sister and his dad aren't talking to each other.

0:06:14 > 0:06:17Emotional blackmail. Nice.

0:06:18 > 0:06:20Look, he really wanted a birthday party, OK?

0:06:20 > 0:06:23And he's... He's disappointed that we haven't planned anything

0:06:23 > 0:06:26and he thinks that we don't care about him.

0:06:26 > 0:06:31- That's ridiculous.- Yeah, I know, but that's how kids think sometimes, OK?

0:06:31 > 0:06:33You can hardly blame him.

0:06:33 > 0:06:35All he sees is us two at each other's throats.

0:06:37 > 0:06:40So what I was thinking, well, I was hoping,

0:06:40 > 0:06:44was maybe we could put our differences behind us, just for one day.

0:06:44 > 0:06:46Just for Bobby's sake.

0:06:46 > 0:06:48You mean throw him a party?

0:06:48 > 0:06:50Yeah.

0:06:50 > 0:06:53I mean, I'd like to organise it and everything...

0:06:53 > 0:06:56No, it's fine. I'll help.

0:06:56 > 0:07:00But this is for Bobby, Dad. That's all.

0:07:00 > 0:07:02Course. I understand.

0:07:04 > 0:07:06Things are getting really out of hand in here.

0:07:06 > 0:07:07Why? It's just a children's party.

0:07:07 > 0:07:11It's vomit, biscuits, other people's disgusting children. It's fine.

0:07:11 > 0:07:14Janine didn't tell you what she had planned, did she?

0:07:23 > 0:07:24SHE LAUGHS

0:07:24 > 0:07:26So, what, he just left?

0:07:26 > 0:07:28No, he's gone to see Lauren.

0:07:28 > 0:07:31It's fine. It's not like I'm on my own.

0:07:31 > 0:07:34Nan's here.

0:07:34 > 0:07:36Well, you ain't got time to think about your dad today,

0:07:36 > 0:07:39cos me and you have got some work to get on with.

0:07:39 > 0:07:43Poppy know you've been hitting the sun beds?

0:07:43 > 0:07:45It's not good for you, you know.

0:07:45 > 0:07:48Come on, Cora. Got to get a bit of a tan, get my legs out, haven't I?

0:07:48 > 0:07:50Nan, use a bowl?

0:07:50 > 0:07:55What and wash up another plate, Abi? Use your loaf.

0:07:55 > 0:07:58Anyway, the work we need to do. Pops is away next week,

0:07:58 > 0:08:01so I'm bringing Lexi's birthday forward to today at three.

0:08:01 > 0:08:03What about those of us who've got to go to work?

0:08:03 > 0:08:06Call in sick. Swap shifts. I'm not having my daughter miss out,

0:08:06 > 0:08:09and I am definitely not doing it without her gorgeous godmother there.

0:08:09 > 0:08:12You can be a real bossy boots when you want to be.

0:08:12 > 0:08:14Well, you know me.

0:08:14 > 0:08:16Ta. Right, Cora, make it happen.

0:08:16 > 0:08:18Scabs, I'll see you later. Bye.

0:08:18 > 0:08:21There you go. That way. Brilliant.

0:08:21 > 0:08:24Thanks for coming. Take those, yeah?

0:08:24 > 0:08:27Let's lose the vol-au-vents.

0:08:27 > 0:08:29Get rid of those canapes.

0:08:29 > 0:08:31Michael, what are you doing?

0:08:31 > 0:08:35The guests are going to be here in a few hours, they haven't even put the caviar on the blinis yet.

0:08:35 > 0:08:38Have you heard the words coming out your mouth? Caviar at a child's party?

0:08:38 > 0:08:40They need fairy cakes, they need pass the parcel.

0:08:40 > 0:08:44This is just the tip of the iceberg for what I've got planned for Scarlett.

0:08:44 > 0:08:47So you can either get on board, or you can get out.

0:08:53 > 0:08:55- Hey, you all right?- Hey!

0:08:55 > 0:08:57I bribed Jean to take the kids out for an hour.

0:08:57 > 0:09:00Great. This is what I can expect from married life, is it?

0:09:00 > 0:09:03Yeah. Well, on weddings and anniversaries, of course.

0:09:05 > 0:09:07Ta-dah!

0:09:07 > 0:09:11OK, I'm obviously not marrying you for your cooking skills, am I?

0:09:11 > 0:09:14Alfie, you have made me so happy.

0:09:14 > 0:09:18Please, just don't make me wait till I can scream this from the rooftops.

0:09:18 > 0:09:21No. I promise, I'll tell Kat later, yeah?

0:09:21 > 0:09:24- Then you can shout it from wherever you like.- Yeah!

0:09:32 > 0:09:35- What's happening? - You all right?

0:09:35 > 0:09:38Has Pops called you both about the party?

0:09:38 > 0:09:41Yeah, who's going to look after this place while we're playing musical chairs?

0:09:41 > 0:09:43And it's a bit last minute, Lo, isn't it?

0:09:43 > 0:09:47All right, fine. But I'm doing it with or without both of you, so...

0:09:47 > 0:09:51Well, Dex'll be back soon. I suppose he won't mind if we left him a slice of cake, eh?

0:09:51 > 0:09:54Well, it don't look like we've got a lot of choice, does it?

0:09:54 > 0:09:57- Good. So, I'll be at yours at three? - Hang on a sec, my place?

0:09:57 > 0:10:00Phil, come on. We're not all going to cram into my little flat, are we?

0:10:00 > 0:10:02Three o'clock. Bye!

0:10:11 > 0:10:13Alfie!

0:10:13 > 0:10:15Listen, I'm sorry about yesterday, all right?

0:10:15 > 0:10:18I didn't mean to go on at you. I know you're just looking out for me.

0:10:18 > 0:10:19Yeah, I was.

0:10:19 > 0:10:21Look, it's Scarlett's birthday today

0:10:21 > 0:10:24and I know the last thing you need is to be with me...

0:10:24 > 0:10:28What you talking about? That's a good idea. Me, you and Tommy. I'll ask Rox to cover.

0:10:28 > 0:10:30- You sure?- Yes, yes, I'm sure.

0:10:30 > 0:10:33Kat, sweetheart, whatever happens we're family, all right?

0:10:33 > 0:10:34HORSE WHINNIES

0:10:34 > 0:10:36No!

0:10:38 > 0:10:41The only animals we had at parties when I was a kid were nits.

0:10:41 > 0:10:43Is she for real?

0:10:43 > 0:10:46Either that or we're having the same kind of weird trippy dream.

0:10:46 > 0:10:48THEY LAUGH

0:10:48 > 0:10:50You could smile, Michael.

0:10:50 > 0:10:52It's your daughter's first birthday.

0:10:52 > 0:10:56I'll pay for Scarlett's therapy, to help her get over this abomination.

0:11:00 > 0:11:03I'm having a party for Lexi later if you, you know, want to come?

0:11:03 > 0:11:06Yeah, that's a lovely idea. Definitely pop in.

0:11:06 > 0:11:09- Don't forget it's Bobby's birthday party later.- I won't forget.

0:11:09 > 0:11:12I've got kids' parties coming out my ears today! See you later.

0:11:14 > 0:11:16I've been looking for you everywhere.

0:11:16 > 0:11:22I'd like to invite you and your kids to Bobby's birthday party after school.

0:11:22 > 0:11:25You really want me and my kids round your house playing party games?

0:11:25 > 0:11:28Yeah. Well, I'm throwing it together at the last minute,

0:11:28 > 0:11:30so I can't afford to be fussy.

0:11:30 > 0:11:34But obviously I really do want you and your kids there.

0:11:34 > 0:11:37But don't feel like you have to stay for more than five minutes or anything...

0:11:37 > 0:11:39- I'll go.- Yeah, you'd better do.

0:11:39 > 0:11:41I'd hate to see you choke on your foot in your own cafe.

0:11:41 > 0:11:43Lola, I'm really not in the mood.

0:11:43 > 0:11:47What are you trying to say, that you're not in the mood for Lexi now? Right, OK.

0:11:47 > 0:11:48SHE SIGHS

0:11:48 > 0:11:50What time?

0:11:50 > 0:11:52Three o'clock at Phil's. See you then.

0:11:52 > 0:11:56Oh, and, Shirl, don't forget to bring a pressie, now. See ya!

0:12:03 > 0:12:06Right, I have brought everything I could find.

0:12:06 > 0:12:08Hats, blowers, balloons...

0:12:08 > 0:12:10Thanks. You coming later, yeah?

0:12:10 > 0:12:13Just you try and stop me. I've got Helen covering over at the shop.

0:12:13 > 0:12:17Just please don't mention anything to Kim. She'll be straight round.

0:12:17 > 0:12:21And I'll tell you what, she cheats at musical statues.

0:12:21 > 0:12:24I think it's great that you're doing this for the both of you, Luce.

0:12:25 > 0:12:27I'm doing this for Bobby.

0:12:27 > 0:12:32Or, what, you think I should forgive my dad after everything he's done, is that it?

0:12:32 > 0:12:34No, he's not doing this to get at you.

0:12:34 > 0:12:37This is just about your dad getting back to who he is.

0:12:37 > 0:12:39- Being a businessman. That's who he is.- That's no excuse.

0:12:39 > 0:12:43No, I'm not saying that it is. But it's not exactly that simple, is it?

0:12:43 > 0:12:46You know, he had to deal with Carl somehow, didn't he?

0:12:58 > 0:13:00MUSIC PLAYS AND CHILDREN YELL

0:13:00 > 0:13:03Do you even know any of these people?

0:13:03 > 0:13:05Mums and dads from Scarlett's playgroup.

0:13:05 > 0:13:07I sent out an e-mail yesterday.

0:13:07 > 0:13:10How come I don't recognise any of them?

0:13:10 > 0:13:14Well, that's probably because you are just too self-involved to even notice other people.

0:13:14 > 0:13:17I called the co-ordinator from the playgroup. Got the number off the fridge.

0:13:17 > 0:13:19No, no, no, that's the old playgroup.

0:13:19 > 0:13:23We went there, Scarlett hated it. All the children were really scuzzy.

0:13:23 > 0:13:26The new playgroup number's in my phone.

0:13:26 > 0:13:30So you're feeding a lot of people that have absolutely nothing to do with us.

0:13:30 > 0:13:32Well done.

0:13:39 > 0:13:40Another couple for the party.

0:13:40 > 0:13:44- Yeah, well, we didn't come together. I found her on the doorstep. - Charming.

0:13:44 > 0:13:46Ta. Do you want a drink, Shirl?

0:13:46 > 0:13:50- Yeah.- Er, I don't think we've got that much in, as it happens.

0:13:50 > 0:13:52Pops, you were supposed to sort the drink!

0:13:52 > 0:13:54It's Phil's house though, isn't it?

0:13:54 > 0:13:57Please tell me someone thought to buy food?

0:13:58 > 0:14:02- Well, I can nip over to the chippy if anyone's hungry?- The chippy?

0:14:02 > 0:14:06That's not exactly classy. Have you seen the spread that Janine's put on for Scarlett?

0:14:06 > 0:14:08All right, calm down. It's not like it's her real birthday, is it?

0:14:08 > 0:14:11Sorry, I didn't have any wrapping paper.

0:14:11 > 0:14:14- None of you give a stuff about any of this, do you? - We're here, aren't we?

0:14:14 > 0:14:17Yeah, but you know what, Jay? You were right. This was way too short notice.

0:14:17 > 0:14:21You obviously had better things to do, the lot of you, so I shouldn't have bothered.

0:14:21 > 0:14:22Come on, Lex.

0:14:25 > 0:14:29Erm, everyone, can I just have your attention for a moment?

0:14:29 > 0:14:32I know we're all... Thanks, love. I know we're all here for Bobby,

0:14:32 > 0:14:34but I just wanted to say...

0:14:34 > 0:14:37Don't worry, mate, I'm not going to drone on for ever,

0:14:37 > 0:14:40I just wanted to say a big thank you to his brother and sister,

0:14:40 > 0:14:44to Peter and to Lucy, for everything they've done to make this possible.

0:14:44 > 0:14:46Thanks, guys.

0:14:46 > 0:14:52Anyone who knows me knows how important family is to me.

0:14:52 > 0:14:55And I know I make mistakes, sometimes more than most,

0:14:55 > 0:15:00erm, but whatever I do, I do it for you guys.

0:15:00 > 0:15:02So, erm, it's a big thank you from me,

0:15:02 > 0:15:07and also a very big happy birthday to Bobby, from all of us.

0:15:07 > 0:15:11Look, tuck in to the food. Feel free. Eat it all. Don't let any go to waste.

0:15:11 > 0:15:12He means it, you know.

0:15:12 > 0:15:14Yeah, no promises.

0:15:15 > 0:15:18Amazing what you can knock together in a couple of hours, isn't it?

0:15:18 > 0:15:20Yeah. You and Lucy make a good team.

0:15:24 > 0:15:27When we were kids, right, me and Lynne used to go to a party every other week

0:15:27 > 0:15:31just so Mum could get us out from under her feet. Oh, yeah? Yeah.

0:15:31 > 0:15:35We used to get so bored that we'd sit in the corner and guess what all the grown-ups were thinking.

0:15:35 > 0:15:38Probably thinking, "You couldn't pass a gin instead of a parcel, could you?"

0:15:38 > 0:15:41Or, "What an ugly kid!"

0:15:41 > 0:15:42I mean, look at her.

0:15:42 > 0:15:44Where did Janine dig her up from?

0:15:44 > 0:15:46No, come on, Kathleen.

0:15:46 > 0:15:48If you expect to be a good mother,

0:15:48 > 0:15:51you must have a buggy the size of a Sherman tank. You know that, don't you?

0:15:51 > 0:15:56And we must send Tommy to the right kind of school with the right kind of people.

0:15:56 > 0:15:58I know, I know. I've got a pinkie...

0:15:58 > 0:15:59SHE LAUGHS

0:15:59 > 0:16:02Hello! CHILD GIGGLES

0:16:10 > 0:16:13One of the great things about Scarlett being one

0:16:13 > 0:16:16is that she won't remember any of this. Will you?

0:16:21 > 0:16:24I know you probably think you're a little bit too old for this now

0:16:24 > 0:16:25but it used to be your favourite.

0:16:28 > 0:16:31Lucy, I'm...

0:16:31 > 0:16:34I'm sorry for everything, OK?

0:16:34 > 0:16:38But I'll always be grateful for what you did for me when I was ill.

0:16:38 > 0:16:40What you did for all of us.

0:16:40 > 0:16:43So you don't regret taking the businesses back then, right?

0:16:43 > 0:16:45It was time for me to take control again.

0:16:45 > 0:16:48I don't want to have to lie to you any more.

0:16:48 > 0:16:51Well, do you feel more like yourself?

0:16:52 > 0:16:55At least some good's come out of this, I suppose.

0:17:06 > 0:17:09She is the most stubborn person on the planet.

0:17:09 > 0:17:12How'd you get her talking to you again?

0:17:12 > 0:17:13Honesty.

0:17:13 > 0:17:15Maybe I should have tried it years ago.

0:17:15 > 0:17:19How about a family breakfast tomorrow? Me, you, Bobby.

0:17:19 > 0:17:20Even Lucy, if she's up for it.

0:17:20 > 0:17:23Yeah, go on, why not? Sounds like a good idea.

0:17:23 > 0:17:24Here, what do you reckon?

0:17:24 > 0:17:27Hire us out to the circus, me and you, couldn't they?

0:17:27 > 0:17:28This is what I'm after. Lovely.

0:17:28 > 0:17:32All the grub that Janine's going to have at the party and you want a packet of crisps?

0:17:32 > 0:17:34Stomach wants what it wants, all right?

0:17:37 > 0:17:39- I'm going to get Tommy.- All right.

0:17:40 > 0:17:43So what, is the world and his wife having a kid's party today or what, Alfie?

0:17:43 > 0:17:46What's so important it's stopped you two talking then, eh?

0:17:46 > 0:17:48It's just girls' stuff.

0:17:48 > 0:17:51- Can we go now? - We will go when I say.

0:17:51 > 0:17:55- She practising to be a teenager now, is she?- She's in love. Poor kid.

0:17:57 > 0:18:00- You're so embarrassing. - Just stop it, will you?

0:18:01 > 0:18:03We should really get back out there.

0:18:03 > 0:18:07What, in case those people we don't know start to miss us?

0:18:09 > 0:18:13- Why are you trying so hard? - What do you mean, why am I trying so hard? Look at her.

0:18:13 > 0:18:16It's our daughter. There's a piece of both of us in her.

0:18:16 > 0:18:20Irrespective of the fact that we might hate each other.

0:18:20 > 0:18:24You know, it's got to be worth something. Got to mean something.

0:18:24 > 0:18:26Is that nice? Is that tasty?

0:18:26 > 0:18:29Come on, don't do that. Put that away.

0:18:29 > 0:18:31This is a nice giraffe.

0:18:31 > 0:18:34You know, the day she was born, I wanted to run away.

0:18:35 > 0:18:37Glad I didn't.

0:18:39 > 0:18:42When I woke up in that hotel recently...

0:18:43 > 0:18:46..Scarlett was in her crib next to me.

0:18:46 > 0:18:48And I knew it was her birthday.

0:18:48 > 0:18:50I chose to ignore it.

0:18:53 > 0:18:56I chose to ignore my daughter's first birthday.

0:18:56 > 0:18:58It doesn't matter.

0:18:58 > 0:19:00But of course it matters,

0:19:00 > 0:19:03because all this is fake, and it's just for show.

0:19:03 > 0:19:07It wasn't a normal day, as I recall, when she was born.

0:19:07 > 0:19:09We didn't get to drive to the hospital and settle in,

0:19:09 > 0:19:13and do the whole nice thing, meet the midwives and stuff. It was horrible.

0:19:13 > 0:19:16- Don't say that.- It was. It was horrible.

0:19:16 > 0:19:20Of course you wanted to forget it. I did. I really wanted to.

0:19:20 > 0:19:23Anyway, shall we see what's in there?

0:19:23 > 0:19:24Shall we open that?

0:19:24 > 0:19:27Here, darling. Daddy's got a present for you.

0:19:27 > 0:19:29No, it's for you. You open it.

0:19:31 > 0:19:33Do you want to help me?

0:19:43 > 0:19:45Ah! Who's that?

0:19:45 > 0:19:49- Whose are they? - Whose feet are they?

0:19:51 > 0:19:54Go on, off you go.

0:19:55 > 0:19:58In a minute.

0:19:58 > 0:20:00Little baby feet!

0:20:06 > 0:20:07You look happy.

0:20:07 > 0:20:10Well, Lucy's talking to me again.

0:20:10 > 0:20:12I've got a beautiful woman in my arms.

0:20:12 > 0:20:15What's there not to be happy about?

0:20:16 > 0:20:19Well, perhaps now might be a good time to mention that...

0:20:19 > 0:20:22- a ten-year-old's just puked on the stairs.- What?!

0:20:22 > 0:20:26Dad, you should really cut this cake, otherwise people will start eating it with their hands.

0:20:26 > 0:20:28All right, all right. Who's for cake?

0:20:28 > 0:20:30- CHILDREN:- Me!

0:20:30 > 0:20:33- About time. We've only been waiting about half hour.- Where's Bobby?

0:20:33 > 0:20:35Bobby! Come on, we're waiting!

0:20:35 > 0:20:38Do you know what? I'm so glad your kids haven't inherited your foghorn.

0:20:38 > 0:20:40Well, apart from Tiffany, that is.

0:20:40 > 0:20:43Don't call my daughter a foghorn, Ian.

0:20:47 > 0:20:48Tiffany!

0:20:48 > 0:20:50He likes me too, Mum.

0:20:50 > 0:20:52We're in love!

0:20:56 > 0:21:01Janine, not being funny, love, it wouldn't hurt you to spend some cash on the little 'un, would it, eh?

0:21:01 > 0:21:03Maybe next time I'll go all out.

0:21:03 > 0:21:06Yeah, see? Who says she's lost her sense of humour, eh?

0:21:06 > 0:21:08Bring home some doggy bags, won't you?

0:21:10 > 0:21:12Can I get a nice picture of you guys all together?

0:21:15 > 0:21:17Oh, it's lovely. Look.

0:21:18 > 0:21:21Look at that. Happy families.

0:21:23 > 0:21:27Scarlett, come on. It's time to go home.

0:21:27 > 0:21:29I thought we had a nice day?

0:21:29 > 0:21:32And, please, don't just come to the house.

0:21:32 > 0:21:34Phone before you want to see Scarlett, OK?

0:21:38 > 0:21:40Why can't I like him?

0:21:40 > 0:21:43Because he's not your type, is he, Tiff, really?

0:21:43 > 0:21:47He's all right now, but what about in 30 years when he turns into Ian Beale? What then?

0:21:47 > 0:21:49What are you talking about?

0:21:49 > 0:21:52Bobby, you're a bright lad, OK?

0:21:52 > 0:21:54You're going places.

0:21:54 > 0:21:58You don't want to get held back by a foghorn in a Puffa jacket do you?

0:21:58 > 0:22:01Ian! What are you saying to him?

0:22:01 > 0:22:04- Sorry we're late. - See? Play with Denny.

0:22:04 > 0:22:07- He's the sort of lad you should be playing with.- I don't want to.

0:22:07 > 0:22:11Oh. I think you owe Denny an apology please, Bobby.

0:22:11 > 0:22:13All right, Sharon. You know, just kids.

0:22:13 > 0:22:17- No need to go barking orders, is there?- Oh, well, I don't see any of your kids here,

0:22:17 > 0:22:20- so I don't see what it's got to do with you, really.- Excuse me?

0:22:20 > 0:22:24Bobby, why don't you show me how to work your remote control car?

0:22:24 > 0:22:25Thanks, love.

0:22:29 > 0:22:32- Dad?- Yeah? - Can you take a picture of us?

0:22:32 > 0:22:34Yeah, course I will. What do I press?

0:22:34 > 0:22:37- Just the middle one. - All right. OK.

0:22:37 > 0:22:39Nicely together. Smile.

0:22:39 > 0:22:41That's it. And...

0:22:41 > 0:22:44- Yeah, it's really good, that. - It's nice.

0:22:45 > 0:22:48- Come on, let me have a look. It's my phone.- Sorry.

0:22:50 > 0:22:52You all right?

0:22:52 > 0:22:54Yeah.

0:22:54 > 0:22:56I nearly blew it, though, didn't I?

0:22:56 > 0:22:58I nearly lost my family.

0:22:58 > 0:23:01Yeah, but you didn't. And that's all that matters.

0:23:04 > 0:23:06Oh, hi, it's Janine.

0:23:07 > 0:23:11Look, I need someone on Monday.

0:23:13 > 0:23:15SHE SIGHS

0:23:15 > 0:23:17Can you make it?

0:23:17 > 0:23:21- Just wait there... - I don't want to hear it, Pops. I'm just here to get Lexi's stuff.

0:23:21 > 0:23:23PARTY HORN SOUNDS

0:23:23 > 0:23:24What's all this?

0:23:24 > 0:23:28Proper spread, isn't it? Balloons, party poppers, streamers.

0:23:28 > 0:23:30Yep, and it was all nicked from Janine's party.

0:23:30 > 0:23:32And we found some wrapping paper in the drawer.

0:23:32 > 0:23:35Thanks. You did all this for us?

0:23:35 > 0:23:38Yeah, well. I mean, I know we're not up to much, Lo,

0:23:38 > 0:23:42but there isn't a thing any of us wouldn't do for that little girl.

0:23:42 > 0:23:44Well, go on, say something!

0:23:44 > 0:23:46I don't know what to say,

0:23:46 > 0:23:48just that Lexi's the best thing that's ever happened to me.

0:23:48 > 0:23:51I know this year hasn't exactly been the best, has it?

0:23:51 > 0:23:54But look at us, all still here. All still together, aren't we?

0:23:56 > 0:23:59Happy birthday, you little smasher.

0:24:02 > 0:24:05We have to find it. I can't work the car without the remote.

0:24:05 > 0:24:08It's got to be here somewhere. Just keep looking.

0:24:12 > 0:24:14Bobby...

0:24:14 > 0:24:18I'm sorry if I made you feel like I didn't care about your birthday before.

0:24:18 > 0:24:21But it was a good thing that you talked to Dad about it.

0:24:21 > 0:24:22What?

0:24:22 > 0:24:26You know, earlier, when you told Dad how much you wanted a party?

0:24:26 > 0:24:28That's not what I said.

0:24:30 > 0:24:32Tiff, you do understand why I said those things about Bobby?

0:24:32 > 0:24:35Course. You're my mum. You know best.

0:24:36 > 0:24:40Morgan! Get down here and have some tea with Tiff, please!

0:24:43 > 0:24:47This is Butcher HQ calling Beale One, over.

0:24:47 > 0:24:49'Hi, Tiff!'

0:24:49 > 0:24:51Use the code names, over!

0:25:01 > 0:25:03B&B's that way, you know.

0:25:03 > 0:25:05Oh, come on, Shirley, don't be like that.

0:25:05 > 0:25:09You and Kim have had fallings out before, there's no need to go storming off.

0:25:09 > 0:25:11You can tell Kim I wouldn't go back to that dive of a place

0:25:11 > 0:25:14that she has the cheek to call a palace if she paid me.

0:25:14 > 0:25:18- Oh, so you've got somewhere better to go, then? - Yeah, a big hole in the ground.

0:25:18 > 0:25:22And, by the way, you can shove your job, an' all. I'm not slaving in that shop any more.

0:25:22 > 0:25:24Let me tell you something.

0:25:24 > 0:25:26You might think you're on your own,

0:25:26 > 0:25:29but there's actually people round here who care about you.

0:25:29 > 0:25:31More fool them.

0:25:31 > 0:25:35Yeah. Well, maybe they'll see sense, an' all.

0:25:36 > 0:25:39Then you really will be on your own.

0:25:50 > 0:25:52Has everyone left now?

0:25:52 > 0:25:55Yep. Just you and me now, love.

0:25:57 > 0:26:01I can't believe I let you do this to me again.

0:26:01 > 0:26:04- What?- Bobby didn't want this party, you did.

0:26:06 > 0:26:10You used your own son to manipulate me into giving you another chance.

0:26:12 > 0:26:15Lucy, you enjoyed being part of this family again.

0:26:15 > 0:26:18You, me, Peter, Bobby. We're a team.

0:26:18 > 0:26:20I never stopped being part of this family.

0:26:20 > 0:26:23This is still my home. And Peter and Bobby, they're my brothers.

0:26:23 > 0:26:26That's never going to change.

0:26:26 > 0:26:29But you, on the other hand...

0:26:30 > 0:26:33..you're not my family.

0:26:33 > 0:26:36I mean, you may be my father, but you are not my dad.

0:26:36 > 0:26:39- Luce...- We live in the same house,

0:26:39 > 0:26:42and we share the same table, and I'll make polite chitchat when other people are around.

0:26:42 > 0:26:45But when it's just you and me...?

0:26:47 > 0:26:50I want you left with no doubt whatsoever.

0:26:52 > 0:26:58I want nothing to do with you ever again.

0:27:07 > 0:27:11- We've been like me and you today, haven't we?- Yeah.

0:27:11 > 0:27:12Erm...

0:27:14 > 0:27:16Kat, erm...

0:27:18 > 0:27:20..me and Roxy are getting married.

0:27:22 > 0:27:27You know, I can't keep doing this, keeping one foot in the past.

0:27:27 > 0:27:30It's no good for either of us.

0:27:32 > 0:27:34Kat, say something.

0:28:05 > 0:28:07SHE BREATHES SLOWLY
