0:00:29 > 0:00:31- How long's that been there? - Is it a problem?
0:00:31 > 0:00:34No. I'd better forward these on to Bobby.
0:00:34 > 0:00:38This is weird. Come here, have a listen to this.
0:00:39 > 0:00:42Denise, call me as soon as you pick up this message.
0:00:42 > 0:00:44I've got something very, very important to tell you.
0:00:46 > 0:00:47When was that?
0:00:47 > 0:00:50About half an hour before we got that call to turn back round.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53I wonder what all that's about?
0:00:53 > 0:00:56PHONE RINGS
0:00:56 > 0:00:58- Two guesses who that is. - Yeah, I'll get my coffee.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05- Can you see me? - Yes, I can see you.
0:01:05 > 0:01:09My name is Femi-onoko-bruuhruh-clook-coco.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11Thank you. I got your text.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13It'd better be good cos I ain't been to bed yet.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15What time is it over there?
0:01:15 > 0:01:17It's just after three in the afternoon.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19I wish it was afternoon here, mate.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22- Then all of this would be over. - What would?
0:01:22 > 0:01:26Take all the cactus in Mexico. Turn all that cactus into tequila.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29Pour that tequila down my throat.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31Then dance till dawn, Salsa, Samba, Rumba, Conga.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33All the ones that end in A basically,
0:01:33 > 0:01:35one or two end in O. Bolero.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38Feel peckish. Have a full English. Go back for seconds.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41Realise that the second one was a mistake. Feel sick.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43Want to lie down. Want to die.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46So, Denise, anything you've got to tell me,
0:01:46 > 0:01:50it can no way make me feel worse than what I feel right about now.
0:01:50 > 0:01:55Believe me. So, go on! Fire away.
0:01:56 > 0:01:57It's Patrick.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01What about Patrick?
0:02:01 > 0:02:03All we know is he's had a stroke and they're doing tests
0:02:03 > 0:02:05so it's just fingers crossed.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07Don't even think about it.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10No, not you. What time are you back from the wholesaler's?
0:02:10 > 0:02:12All right then.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14All right, I'll see you later. Love you an' all.
0:02:14 > 0:02:18- I tell you, if the stroke don't get him, the MRSA will.- £1.80.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21- What did you just say? - That's a bit much, ain't it?
0:02:21 > 0:02:24No, listen, I've spent half me life in the General.
0:02:24 > 0:02:25It's like my second home.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27I know how it was back then and I know how it is.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30They give the cleaning contract to the lowest possible bidder
0:02:30 > 0:02:34- and then wonder why the place is so filthy.- Poor Denise.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37Poor Patrick, you mean. Can't talk or barely move a finger.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39One side of his face is all saggy.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41It's always the women who end up as the carers, ain't it?
0:02:41 > 0:02:44I thought he had a son.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46Yeah. Kat knows all about that, don't you, Kat?
0:02:47 > 0:02:49So, is Anthony coming down?
0:02:49 > 0:02:51Certainly gave that impression last night.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53But when I tried to phone him again this morning,
0:02:53 > 0:02:58it just went straight to voicemail so I don't know what's going on.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00Well, so how are you feeling now?
0:03:00 > 0:03:03Oh, Kim, I'm that knackered, I don't know.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06But the doctors were hopeful?
0:03:06 > 0:03:08- They gave him something called... - Thrombolysis.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11"Thrombolysis"? ..but it didn't make much difference
0:03:11 > 0:03:13so it's just a question of wait and see now.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15Do they have any idea what brought it on?
0:03:15 > 0:03:18Cora reckoned he'd been stressed out.
0:03:18 > 0:03:22Stressed? What's he got to be stressed about?
0:03:22 > 0:03:25Look, you text me the minute you get back from the hospital, all right?
0:03:25 > 0:03:28- Course. - And tell Pops that Kimmie loves him.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31I will. Right, you go and get some sleep now.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33Do you really think I'm going to get any sleep now?
0:03:34 > 0:03:36Anyway, look, darling, I gotta go.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38Cos Ian wants to get on the computer.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40All right then. Well, love you, Sis.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42Love you too, darling.
0:03:44 > 0:03:45SHE SIGHS
0:03:45 > 0:03:50Sorry about that, otherwise she'd have been on that thingy all day.
0:03:51 > 0:03:56Look, we can't hang around for Anthony. We'd better just go.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59How about I go and see him on my own?
0:03:59 > 0:04:00What?
0:04:00 > 0:04:02It's like you said - you're knackered.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04Give you a chance to catch up on some sleep.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07Ian, there is no way I'm not going to go and see Patrick.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10He's the closest thing I've got to a dad.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12How could I not? Now come on.
0:04:14 > 0:04:18All ready for you. Ah, right money!
0:04:18 > 0:04:20Thank you.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23So did you go with him in the ambulance?
0:04:23 > 0:04:25- Why would I do that? - Well, hold his hand, maybe?
0:04:25 > 0:04:27I'd have gotten in the way.
0:04:27 > 0:04:31I bet Mrs Branning was upset. What with Mr Branning and everything.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34They've caught it early. That's the main thing.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36You're an expert now, are you?
0:04:36 > 0:04:38Well, I have been a hospital social worker.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42This has really got to you, hasn't it, Cora?
0:04:42 > 0:04:45I need to get back to work.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47I'll see you at Fat Blasters.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53And who's going to be washing that up?
0:04:53 > 0:04:56Them pills must be kicking in.
0:04:56 > 0:05:01Maybe you could pick Dennis up from school yourself today.
0:05:01 > 0:05:02Not till I'm ready.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04And certainly not with my hair like this.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06What's wrong with your hair?
0:05:06 > 0:05:09Trust you. I'm not even going to have this conversation.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12Right, I'll take Dennis straight to swimming then, yeah?
0:05:14 > 0:05:17Linda. Why don't you save all this backwards and forwards
0:05:17 > 0:05:18and just move in?
0:05:20 > 0:05:22Oh, take no notice. You get used to it.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26Before you ask, I've ditched the pills.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30Really? And how are you and Dennis getting on?
0:05:31 > 0:05:34- Yeah, we're much better. - Good!
0:05:34 > 0:05:36Right, listen, you can say no if you want to,
0:05:36 > 0:05:38but I'm going to this Fat Blasters meeting later on...
0:05:38 > 0:05:41- You're not fat. - Oh, that's nothing to do with it.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43Just a bunch of women moaning about men.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45It'll help get you out of yourself.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48I'm sorry, Linda, but my hair's a mess.
0:05:48 > 0:05:49- I'm really not... - You look great.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51Oh, don't do a Phil on me. I know what it looks like.
0:05:51 > 0:05:55Nobody will even notice. They're all very, you know, supportive.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58- Well, I'll see, OK? - Community Centre, 4.00.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01- Be great if you did come.- Bye.- Bye.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10That's a tenner, please, darling.
0:06:12 > 0:06:13Kat, you seen Bianca?
0:06:13 > 0:06:15Yeah, she's in the cafe.
0:06:15 > 0:06:16Cheers. See you later.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19That's her now. Just gone into the cafe.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22Life is short, boy. Cram it all in while you can.
0:06:22 > 0:06:23While there's still time.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28Gets it all from me, of course.
0:06:28 > 0:06:32The boyish charm, the sexual charisma, matinee idol good looks.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35He'll have to learn to cope with it, like I did.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41What's the matter, lad? Not jealous of him, are you?
0:06:42 > 0:06:45That would be - how shall I put it? -
0:06:45 > 0:06:47a bit perverse, wouldn't it?
0:06:49 > 0:06:51It's just Tiff's doing my head in
0:06:51 > 0:06:54about this stupid dress for the leavers' do. Any ideas?
0:06:54 > 0:06:57- She's 11 years old, Whit. - Going on 25.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59So what's wrong with the dress she's got now?
0:06:59 > 0:07:01Oh, don't, I've already had that conversation.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04- Well, take no notice of her, Whit. I'll sort her out later.- OK.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11- Hair's looking lovely today. - You frightened me.
0:07:11 > 0:07:12Not a speck of dandruff.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15Got some good stuff for athlete's foot indoors. Wart remover?
0:07:15 > 0:07:18- Maybe a bit of acne cream? - Lee, did you want something?
0:07:19 > 0:07:21Yeah. Another chance?
0:07:25 > 0:07:28What do you think that voicemail was all about?
0:07:28 > 0:07:30I don't know, maybe he was already feeling ill
0:07:30 > 0:07:32and wanted to let you know.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35Yeah, but who goes about leaving voicemails when they're having a stroke?
0:07:35 > 0:07:37I'll never get used to coming to this place.
0:07:37 > 0:07:38Gives me the creeps.
0:07:43 > 0:07:44Ian...
0:07:44 > 0:07:46What?
0:07:46 > 0:07:47Patrick.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53Patrick? What you doing?
0:07:55 > 0:07:56Excuse me!
0:07:56 > 0:07:58Excuse me, why has this man been left
0:07:58 > 0:08:00all by himself in the middle of a corridor?
0:08:05 > 0:08:07That's a bargain for 20 quid, that.
0:08:09 > 0:08:10Can you take over for us?
0:08:35 > 0:08:39- No-one was sure if you were coming. - For my own dad?
0:08:40 > 0:08:42- Nice suit. - Nice bump.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46If you're looking for Denise, you're too late.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49Her and Ian left for the hospital a half hour ago.
0:08:49 > 0:08:50Guess I'd better get there then.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54- How are you feeling? - Weird. Really weird.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58- You want to talk? - I haven't got time.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01It's not like he's going anywhere, is it?
0:09:03 > 0:09:04You are outrageous.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08- Blimey.- What?
0:09:08 > 0:09:09I'll tell you when we get inside.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14- So?- 1-0. Straight in the back of the net.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16Honestly, I astonish myself sometimes.
0:09:18 > 0:09:22Now, this is the old me, this is the unhealthy me.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25This is the two-sugars-in-me-tea me.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28This is the exercise-is-for-idiots me.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30- Now, does she look happy?- No.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33But neither would I if I got run over by a steam roller.
0:09:34 > 0:09:38Talk amongst yourselves. I'll be a couple of minutes, all right.
0:09:38 > 0:09:41Oh, and I tell you, Linda, he looked a proper gentleman.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44Does a proper gentleman go and have it away with your own daughter?
0:09:44 > 0:09:47- What? - It's true, I'm telling you.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49So how's she going to feel about seeing him again?
0:09:49 > 0:09:50Well, I don't know.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54- You not joining us, Cora? - I'm all right.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58I think Patrick's stroke has really got to her.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00Not as much as it's got to him.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02She was really off with me when I asked about him earlier.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05There's no love lost there, is there?
0:10:05 > 0:10:07He chucked her out of his house, didn't he?
0:10:07 > 0:10:08I think that's a bit unfair.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11Or maybe it's all been brought home to her.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13I mean, none of us are getting any younger.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16You speak for yourself.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18I started going backwards when I hit 70.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21- Right, are we all here? - Sharon said she might come.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24Oh, well, Linda, it's five past. If she comes, she comes.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26Now, who's going to be brave
0:10:26 > 0:10:29and be the first person to step on my scales?
0:10:29 > 0:10:31Come on. Don't be like that.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34We're all here to support each other. There's no judgment.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36- Cora, what about you? - No chance.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39- Linda? - Oh, hang on a sec.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46I thought people came here to lose weight, not put it on.
0:10:48 > 0:10:49TV CHATTERS
0:10:51 > 0:10:52MOBILE CHIMES
0:11:03 > 0:11:05So when are they due?
0:11:05 > 0:11:07Middle of next month.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10- Good luck. You'll need it with twins.- Yeah.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13Our youngest is two and a half and still a right handful.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17All right, here's the challenge - your toddler versus my toddler
0:11:17 > 0:11:21and the parent that's still sane at the end is the winner.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26- People do get better, you know. - Your mum didn't.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31Maybe she wasn't much of a fighter, but Patrick is.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33He'll pull through. You'll see.
0:11:33 > 0:11:37Thing is I've already spoken to the A & E consultant on the phone.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39- And? - He wasn't very encouraging.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43What am I going to do, Kat?
0:11:43 > 0:11:45It's not like I didn't realise
0:11:45 > 0:11:47something like this would happen one day, but...
0:11:47 > 0:11:49still doesn't prepare you for it.
0:11:51 > 0:11:52I'd better go.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55Will I see you again?
0:11:55 > 0:11:59Well, obviously I can't take him with me now. So probably, yeah.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03- We can have a proper catch-up. - That would be good.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06So how's Zoe?
0:12:06 > 0:12:09- It's all right, you don't have to. - Don't I?
0:12:10 > 0:12:13Sometimes it feels like my whole life is ruled by guilt.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16That means you care. That's why you're a doctor.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19I should start a support group. Guiltydoctors.org.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23It's really good to see you, Anthony.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26You too.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28- Send my love to your dad, yeah? - I will.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42Tasty. I'd keep him warm at night.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47What did I say?
0:12:47 > 0:12:50When we get back home, I'm writing a letter to the boss of this place.
0:12:50 > 0:12:51You heard what the nurse said.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53They were just waiting for a bed for him.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55Whose side are you on?
0:12:55 > 0:12:57The point is, he didn't come to any harm.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00- And where the hell is Anthony? - I know you're angry, all right.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02But don't take it out on everybody else.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04And since when did you turn into Mr Reasonable?
0:13:08 > 0:13:11Do you know what, we could be here like this for hours.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15We could always go and come back later?
0:13:15 > 0:13:16I mean, I have got the restaurant to open
0:13:16 > 0:13:19and it's not as if we're doing any good here, is it?
0:13:20 > 0:13:22Yeah...maybe.
0:13:27 > 0:13:31Kim sends you her love. And I love you too.
0:13:32 > 0:13:33All right.
0:13:36 > 0:13:37- What?- Look.
0:13:42 > 0:13:44You don't have to book a table here.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47- Just turn up and it should be fine. - It's just I wanted somewhere quiet.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50Like a nice little place in the corner, away from the door.
0:13:50 > 0:13:54- Oh, yeah? Who's the lucky lady? - None of your business.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56Oh, come on, you might as well tell me.
0:13:56 > 0:13:57I'm going to see anyway.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01All right. It's Whitney.
0:14:01 > 0:14:02Listen, Lee, if you muck her about...
0:14:02 > 0:14:04I really, really like her.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08Come on, you think I'd go to all this trouble if I didn't?
0:14:11 > 0:14:15- OK.- All right then. I'll see you later.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17Oh, and a nice bottle of bubbly on ice if you can?
0:14:17 > 0:14:19What sort of place do you think this is?
0:14:20 > 0:14:23- Like this. - Like your mum?
0:14:23 > 0:14:24No, the other one.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27Tiffany, the one I was named after.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30Yeah, well, she was an adult. You're a child.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35PHONE RINGS
0:14:35 > 0:14:36Hello.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38You're a dark horse, ain't ya?
0:14:38 > 0:14:39Sorry? What?
0:14:39 > 0:14:42- Don't act like you don't know. - What?
0:14:42 > 0:14:45Er, you and Lee and your romantic dinner for two!
0:14:45 > 0:14:46How did he talk you round?
0:14:50 > 0:14:51I felt sorry for him.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54I didn't think he wanted to take me out to dinner.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57Oh, yeah. Here at the restaurant. He asked to book a table.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00Are you joking?
0:15:00 > 0:15:02No. He seems desperate to make it up to you, Whit.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06Thought it was going to be a pie in the pub or something.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09Think again. Best knickers for you tonight.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17Say again? What was that?
0:15:17 > 0:15:19I think he said "Denise". Did you hear him say Denise?
0:15:19 > 0:15:20I dunno.
0:15:20 > 0:15:25You're in hospital, Patrick. I'm sorry, darling. You've had a stroke.
0:15:25 > 0:15:29But you're going to be all right. Do you hear me?
0:15:29 > 0:15:31PATRICK GROANS
0:15:31 > 0:15:34Yeah, that's right! That was definitely Denise.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36And look who's here as well. See?
0:15:39 > 0:15:42Come on, Patrick. You must recognise him.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44No.
0:15:44 > 0:15:48Yeah, yeah, you do, you do. Look harder.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51You're putting him under an awful lot of pressure. Just leave him.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53It can't be doing him any good.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57Oh, Anthony, thank God you're here.
0:15:57 > 0:16:01I got the first flight that I could. How's he doing?
0:16:01 > 0:16:02Dad?
0:16:02 > 0:16:06Yeah, he's only just come round. He's been trying to talk.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09He did that before. I think he's trying to smile.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13- Dad?- Paul?
0:16:17 > 0:16:19OK...
0:16:19 > 0:16:22I think we'll just leave you to it for a few minutes, yeah?
0:16:28 > 0:16:30Right, so you all know what you're doing?
0:16:30 > 0:16:32All right. You've got your food plans.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34Anyone that didn't pay your subs, I'll be chasing you up.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36I'll see next week.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39Right, who's for the pub? Cora?
0:16:39 > 0:16:41Yeah, I could do with a drink.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44- How about you, Pam? - Don't see why not.
0:16:44 > 0:16:45Can I just remind you
0:16:45 > 0:16:47if you are going to the pub, you've got targets to meet.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50You're doing really well. Don't throw it all away.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52What about you, Linda?
0:16:52 > 0:16:55No, I've got some things to do. Mick'll look after you.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00- Please?- No.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02Tiffany, you're 11 years old, babe.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05Yeah, and I've seen pictures of you when you were 11.
0:17:05 > 0:17:06What's the big rush?
0:17:06 > 0:17:08You've got plenty of time to think about boys and that.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11- Who said anything about boys?- So why do you want to dress like that?
0:17:11 > 0:17:13Cos everyone else will.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16Put the dress on so I can pin you in it, please.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18No way.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20Tiff, your nan is going into hospital on Monday
0:17:20 > 0:17:23and you're sitting there behaving like a spoilt little brat.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25- So put this dress on right now! - Make me.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27Hey, hey! What's the problem?
0:17:28 > 0:17:30You deal with it, because I can't.
0:17:32 > 0:17:34KNOCKING AT THE DOOR
0:17:34 > 0:17:36- Who is it? - Only me.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43Are you on your own?
0:17:43 > 0:17:45- Yeah, why?- Good.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47No arguments. I'm going to sort your barnet out.
0:17:47 > 0:17:51But first, stick the kettle on, and tell me everything you know
0:17:51 > 0:17:55about Kat, her daughter and, um I forget his name - Patrick's son...
0:17:59 > 0:18:02It's all right Anthony's still here.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06He's just outside with Ian.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09He's going to be back in a minute.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19- Cheers.- He thinks I'm Paul.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23He's just confused.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25Is your dad still alive?
0:18:26 > 0:18:28No. He died a long time ago.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30Lucky you.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33Sorry. That was a terrible thing to say.
0:18:34 > 0:18:38Thing is, I didn't even know him till I was 30.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40I know he is my dad. I know I call him Dad.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42But I don't think of him as Dad.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46Dads bring up their kids. That's what they do. It's their job.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50I know what everyone says. "Patrick? Couldn't ask for a nicer guy."
0:18:50 > 0:18:51Well, maybe.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54But the fact is he walked out on my mother when I was just a baby.
0:18:54 > 0:18:55She was the one that brought us up.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57She's the one that juggled three jobs
0:18:57 > 0:19:00and still managed somehow to get us to school on time.
0:19:00 > 0:19:02Where was Patrick? Patrick wasn't there.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05But you really couldn't meet a nicer bloke.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10I shouldn't be dumping all this on you.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13Not something I'd ever allow myself to say out loud as a rule.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15I'm not judging you.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18Then there's the kids. Family life is hectic enough.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21You can't have forgotten what that's like.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23Oh, sorry. I did know.
0:19:23 > 0:19:27- And I haven't even mentioned it. - It's OK.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30- Here I am, rambling on about my own life...- It's fine.
0:19:30 > 0:19:31OK.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34People say things when they're stressed
0:19:34 > 0:19:36that they wouldn't normally say.
0:19:36 > 0:19:37I know that better than most.
0:19:40 > 0:19:41So...the kids?
0:19:43 > 0:19:48I don't want to go on about it, but my eldest, Euan, has problems.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51It's already put a severe strain on our marriage.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53And now this on top. What would you do?
0:19:54 > 0:19:56I can't...
0:19:56 > 0:19:59No, I want to know. What would you do?
0:20:03 > 0:20:08I hear what you're saying. OK? But the thing is, he's family.
0:20:08 > 0:20:12And family's important. I mean, that's how I was brought up.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15I can appreciate how it'd be hard for you...
0:20:15 > 0:20:17You think I should take him back to Scotland?
0:20:18 > 0:20:20I think you'd hate yourself if you didn't.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28- Aren't you getting changed? - I already have.
0:20:28 > 0:20:29Oh. Sorry.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34Just don't want to give him any ideas, that's all.
0:20:34 > 0:20:35DOORBELL DINGS
0:20:36 > 0:20:40Part of me wants to go and part of me can't forget.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42Are we talking about Lucy now?
0:20:43 > 0:20:45Everything. Does that sound stupid?
0:20:45 > 0:20:47If you're not ready, you're not ready.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49Right, that's it. I've sorted that out.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52I've told Tiff if she don't wear that then she's not going.
0:20:52 > 0:20:53DOORBELL DINGS
0:20:55 > 0:20:57Do you want me to take care of him?
0:20:57 > 0:21:00I could tell him you're helping Tiff with her dress, if you like?
0:21:00 > 0:21:01Yeah.
0:21:05 > 0:21:06What's the problem?
0:21:09 > 0:21:11Oh, come here.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13It's Lee, isn't it?
0:21:13 > 0:21:15Um, sorry, she's not feeling too good
0:21:15 > 0:21:18and she promised Tiff she'd help her with her party dress.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21That's all right, I get the message.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32It's never easy...
0:21:33 > 0:21:36- Well? - I can't pretend he wasn't upset.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38I'm going to start to feel sorry for him at this rate.
0:21:38 > 0:21:39What have I done?
0:21:43 > 0:21:44THEY CHATTER
0:21:48 > 0:21:50I don't know why I bother.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52He's in the best possible place, I suppose.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55Patrick is? So what was that earlier about MRSA?
0:21:55 > 0:21:58I love the NHS. I owe them my life.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01That's why I can't bear to see it go downhill.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03- People are living longer. - Sorry? What are you saying?
0:22:03 > 0:22:05"More's the pity"? Bad for business, is it?
0:22:05 > 0:22:07It's a victim of its own success, Mo.
0:22:08 > 0:22:12Before the NHS, Patrick would probably be dead by now.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15But as it is, he's not, he's alive. Which is good.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19But they'll always be playing catch-up.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21Why are we sitting out here? I'm cold.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23Cora wanted to smoke.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25Part of her fitness regime, no doubt.
0:22:25 > 0:22:26Where is she then?
0:22:28 > 0:22:30To Patrick, eh?
0:22:30 > 0:22:32Patrick.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41I thought you was going out.
0:22:41 > 0:22:44- So will you be going to see him at all?- Will you?
0:22:44 > 0:22:47Well, he's more your friend than he is mine.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50Yeah, yeah...but there's history.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56So what happened to the hot date?
0:22:57 > 0:22:59- Lee? - I bet you're loving this, ain't you?
0:22:59 > 0:23:01That ain't fair.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03Well, I definitely would if you was in my shoes.
0:23:03 > 0:23:06- Look, thing about Whit... - Don't, Johnny, please, mate.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09- She's had some bad luck with guys... - Like I don't know about that already.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11She's my mate and she's scared. Take it easy with her.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14Yeah, well, it's a bit late for that now, innit?
0:23:14 > 0:23:15It's too late.
0:23:15 > 0:23:17You keep saying that but he only left two minutes ago.
0:23:17 > 0:23:20- You can go after him, you know? - No, I'll look an idiot.
0:23:20 > 0:23:21I'll tell you what being an idiot is -
0:23:21 > 0:23:24letting your pride get in the way of what you really want.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27You like him, don't you? Well, don't you?
0:23:27 > 0:23:29Well, go after him!
0:23:29 > 0:23:30Or at least phone him.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33Oh, I knew I should never've let Carol talk me out of it.
0:23:33 > 0:23:34That's not what she said.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37She said, you ask for support and she give it you!
0:23:37 > 0:23:39Oh, I've had enough of this.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41B, that is my phone. What are you doing?
0:23:41 > 0:23:44- Are you busy tomorrow night? - B, seriously now.
0:23:44 > 0:23:45Well, you are now.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48- You can't do things like that! - Well, I just did.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52You've put three kisses!
0:23:52 > 0:23:53And the problem with that is?
0:23:55 > 0:23:56What do you say?
0:23:58 > 0:24:01- Thank you.- I can't hear you. Little bit louder.- Don't push it.
0:24:05 > 0:24:06What?
0:24:07 > 0:24:09I wish she'd make up her mind.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15Whitney. She wants to meet me tomorrow instead.
0:24:15 > 0:24:16HE LAUGHS
0:24:26 > 0:24:28You've been gone a long time.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31- Ian said you'd gone for a walk. - Where is he?
0:24:31 > 0:24:33He's getting us something to eat. He said you were upset.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38Anyway, I've spoken to the nurse.
0:24:39 > 0:24:42And, well, she said he's going to be confused for a while.
0:24:42 > 0:24:43It'll take time.
0:24:45 > 0:24:46Yeah, I know.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50I'm not going to be able to do this, Denise.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53Do what?
0:24:53 > 0:24:56Look after him. Ian knows my reasons.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58So who is?
0:24:58 > 0:25:00I appreciate it'll cause some financial problems.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02So I've brought you a cheque.
0:25:05 > 0:25:06Please don't look at me like that.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10Sorry, I understand you're upset,
0:25:10 > 0:25:12but you haven't thought this through.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15- Since your phone call last night, I've thought of nothing else. - But he's your dad.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18And more of one to you than he ever was to me.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21I'm sorry. I know what you're thinking.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25I'm thinking the same thing.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41Anthony!
0:25:50 > 0:25:56Hey. Sorry, Anthony had to go.
0:25:56 > 0:26:00It's, um...a medical emergency.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02One of his patients up in Scotland.
0:26:06 > 0:26:10But he's ever so sorry, you know. He'll be back soon.
0:26:10 > 0:26:16Sends his love. So, I'm going to look after you.
0:26:18 > 0:26:22Yeah. For as long as it takes. All right?
0:26:22 > 0:26:23PATRICK GROANS
0:26:29 > 0:26:33Linda, did you bring a hair dryer or do you need to use mine?
0:26:33 > 0:26:35I'm in here, Sharon.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38I'm looking for grips. Where do you keep 'em?
0:26:38 > 0:26:41What are you doing? You won't find nothing in there.
