0:00:29 > 0:00:33Sometimes Lady Luck shines down on those who believe.

0:00:33 > 0:00:36So, that's where you were last night. Patrick!

0:00:36 > 0:00:37Oh, gosh, man. No, no, no.

0:00:37 > 0:00:39It's not gambling if you know you're going to win.

0:00:39 > 0:00:42Besides, I ain't keeping it for myself, you know.

0:00:42 > 0:00:45I want to get a treat for the little one.

0:00:45 > 0:00:46So, come on, tell me what you need.

0:00:46 > 0:00:48A crib? A buggy?

0:00:48 > 0:00:50Nah, it's all right. You keep your money.

0:00:50 > 0:00:52I've got to get to work.

0:00:54 > 0:00:56- HE CHUCKLES - Yeah.

0:00:59 > 0:01:00Will you put some clothes on?

0:01:00 > 0:01:03My cousin is upstairs, he's not exactly a morning person.

0:01:03 > 0:01:05- Well, I am!- Oh!

0:01:05 > 0:01:06SHE GIGGLES

0:01:11 > 0:01:14Go and put some clothes on.

0:01:14 > 0:01:17I must have called her 20 times since Tuesday.

0:01:17 > 0:01:19She wasn't on the stall yesterday.

0:01:19 > 0:01:20Donna said she called in sick.

0:01:20 > 0:01:22So? Maybe she is sick.

0:01:22 > 0:01:24You know, you worry too much.

0:01:24 > 0:01:27Roxy was so excited about all of us moving to Ongar.

0:01:27 > 0:01:29If you hadn't stuck me in the middle, as usual,

0:01:29 > 0:01:31none of this would have happened.

0:01:31 > 0:01:33Oh, right, so now it's my fault she's not talking to you?

0:01:33 > 0:01:35Look, you might think that we can all live in some perfect bubble

0:01:35 > 0:01:38but our happy ending is not going to work without Roxy.

0:01:40 > 0:01:41Oh, I need to get Matthew up.

0:01:44 > 0:01:47- Ricky, breakfast! - KNOCK ON DOOR

0:01:53 > 0:01:55I thought Mummy was taking you to school.

0:01:55 > 0:01:56She had a friend over.

0:02:03 > 0:02:06If your watch is wrong, I'd get it fixed, quick sharp-ish.

0:02:06 > 0:02:09Do you know, I never thought I'd be one of them people

0:02:09 > 0:02:10that comes to work for a break

0:02:10 > 0:02:11but, you know, here I am.

0:02:11 > 0:02:13Seems like Kim's not the only one in the wars.

0:02:13 > 0:02:15Please don't talk to me about my clumsy sister.

0:02:15 > 0:02:1633 weeks pregnant,

0:02:16 > 0:02:18she's got me running round after her for the past two days.

0:02:18 > 0:02:20Ian Beale did his back in on Tuesday.

0:02:20 > 0:02:22Stacey told me yesterday.

0:02:22 > 0:02:23Apparently he can't get up from the sofa.

0:02:23 > 0:02:25THEY LAUGH

0:02:25 > 0:02:26What's funny?

0:02:26 > 0:02:27Just saying about Ian Beale.

0:02:27 > 0:02:30Oh, don't. I'm supposed to be round there now, looking after Louie.

0:02:30 > 0:02:32I spent the whole of yesterday

0:02:32 > 0:02:34taking his Highness cups of tea and chocolate biscuits.

0:02:34 > 0:02:36Poor Jane.

0:02:36 > 0:02:38Mind you, it does make you think - life could be worse, couldn't it?

0:02:38 > 0:02:41I just come to check what time rehearsals are.

0:02:41 > 0:02:43Don't tell me you've been roped into this play an' all!

0:02:43 > 0:02:45Martin ain't happy.

0:02:45 > 0:02:47Ain't you got enough on your plate without playing Shakespeare?

0:02:47 > 0:02:50I haven't heard anything but this play from her for weeks now.

0:02:50 > 0:02:53Hold on, what is this - Pick On Denise Day all of a sudden?

0:02:53 > 0:02:56- Five o'clock for rehearsals, actually.- Thanks.

0:02:56 > 0:02:58I tell you what, she ain't playing.

0:02:58 > 0:03:00I've read some of the scenes she's written. She's wasted in here.

0:03:02 > 0:03:04I can't believe you didn't see it.

0:03:04 > 0:03:06Bold as brass, it was.

0:03:06 > 0:03:09Chowing down on Craig's tuna as if it was entitled.

0:03:09 > 0:03:10Yeah well, maybe if you gave the cat

0:03:10 > 0:03:12cat food instead of actual food...

0:03:12 > 0:03:14Craig's got a sensitive constitution -

0:03:14 > 0:03:17and, anyway, I should be able to feed him what I like

0:03:17 > 0:03:20without some stray stopping by to have a bite.

0:03:20 > 0:03:22Well, it's a cat-eat-cat world, Mum.

0:03:22 > 0:03:24Oh, and before I forget,

0:03:24 > 0:03:26I spoke to Darius.

0:03:26 > 0:03:28Turns out he hasn't got time to see his old mum.

0:03:28 > 0:03:30Too busy seeing his mates.

0:03:30 > 0:03:33What?! But that's bang out of order.

0:03:33 > 0:03:34Oh, listen to you.

0:03:34 > 0:03:37At least one of my boys still looks out for me.

0:03:37 > 0:03:39Yeah, I'll see you later.

0:03:39 > 0:03:40Sorry, sorry, sorry.

0:03:40 > 0:03:42One of those days.

0:03:42 > 0:03:43At least you made it in.

0:03:43 > 0:03:44I suppose I should feel honoured.

0:03:44 > 0:03:46Oi, I told you, I was ill yesterday.

0:03:46 > 0:03:49Yeah, and today you stink of booze.

0:03:49 > 0:03:50Medicinal, was it?

0:03:50 > 0:03:51Hey.

0:03:51 > 0:03:53Yes, it's really me -

0:03:53 > 0:03:55the voice on the end of the phone that keeps leaving messages

0:03:55 > 0:03:58- and you never get back.- You were ignoring me not too long ago.

0:03:58 > 0:03:59Look, I shouldn't have done that.

0:03:59 > 0:04:01You didn't need to storm off on Tuesday.

0:04:01 > 0:04:03You took everything totally in the wrong way.

0:04:03 > 0:04:06That's funny, cos I thought Jack made himself crystal clear.

0:04:06 > 0:04:08I'll talk to him. He'll come round.

0:04:09 > 0:04:11Please let me make it right, Roxy.

0:04:11 > 0:04:13I hate being piggy in the middle.

0:04:15 > 0:04:17I didn't know you were seeing someone new.

0:04:17 > 0:04:20Amy said you had a friend round this morning.

0:04:20 > 0:04:22The latest in a long line.

0:04:22 > 0:04:24I thought you hadn't done anything like that since Dean.

0:04:24 > 0:04:25What do you want me to do?

0:04:25 > 0:04:27Do you want me to be celibate for the rest of my life?

0:04:27 > 0:04:29No, just...

0:04:29 > 0:04:31I don't think you should rush into things.

0:04:31 > 0:04:34My personal life is nothing to do with you, or Amy.

0:04:34 > 0:04:36Why don't you get back to your perfect existence?

0:04:36 > 0:04:37Go on.

0:04:37 > 0:04:39Stay out of mine.

0:04:47 > 0:04:49So, we won't have the place to ourselves then?

0:04:49 > 0:04:50No.

0:04:50 > 0:04:52I don't suppose we could use your place?

0:04:52 > 0:04:55Well, I'd have to get rid of Stacey, my dad, the kids...

0:04:56 > 0:04:58Look...

0:04:58 > 0:05:00I want to do this...

0:05:00 > 0:05:02but if we can't find anywhere then...

0:05:02 > 0:05:03No, I'll sort it.

0:05:03 > 0:05:04Leave it to me.

0:05:07 > 0:05:09The boys are down.

0:05:09 > 0:05:12They hardly put up a fight for a change.

0:05:12 > 0:05:13How's Ian doing?

0:05:13 > 0:05:14Next door, lying flat on his back,

0:05:14 > 0:05:17grumbling like he's the first person to ever pull a muscle.

0:05:17 > 0:05:19I can hear you, you know!

0:05:19 > 0:05:20Good!

0:05:22 > 0:05:24Oh, I know I should be more sympathetic.

0:05:24 > 0:05:25It's just...

0:05:25 > 0:05:28Now we're entering day three and, with no end in sight, I'm...

0:05:28 > 0:05:29If I had a bad back,

0:05:29 > 0:05:31the last thing I'd do is lay on the floor for hours.

0:05:31 > 0:05:33Well, that's what I said, but would he listen?

0:05:33 > 0:05:35Do you know what? I've had enough of you two prattling on.

0:05:35 > 0:05:37I'm going for a bath!

0:05:37 > 0:05:38HE GRUNTS

0:05:38 > 0:05:41Ian, I'm not sure that's a good idea.

0:05:41 > 0:05:43When I want your help, I'll ask for it.

0:05:44 > 0:05:46Oh, God! Oh!

0:05:46 > 0:05:48I just don't think anyone's in the mood tonight, boy.

0:05:48 > 0:05:51- Do you know what I mean?- Just a few drinks for Whit's birthday.

0:05:51 > 0:05:53How do you think she's going to feel if we don't make an effort?

0:05:53 > 0:05:55She told me she didn't want to do anything.

0:05:55 > 0:05:58Yeah, well, she told me different - so who do you think knows better?

0:05:58 > 0:05:59Hang on. What else are we going to do, eh?

0:05:59 > 0:06:01Sit around with long faces for the rest of our lives?

0:06:01 > 0:06:03I suppose we've got to get back to normal sometime.

0:06:03 > 0:06:05Yeah, business as usual, eh?

0:06:05 > 0:06:08It's just a shame I can't get any staff willing to lock up.

0:06:08 > 0:06:10Listen, can you do me a favour and keep hold of that until later?

0:06:10 > 0:06:13Whenever I leave it at home, Whitney nearly finds it.

0:06:13 > 0:06:15L GASPS Blimey.

0:06:15 > 0:06:17Get on that.

0:06:17 > 0:06:18That must have cost you a few quid.

0:06:18 > 0:06:20Yeah, well, she's worth it.

0:06:20 > 0:06:22PHONE DINGS See you later, darling.

0:06:31 > 0:06:32Thank you.

0:06:32 > 0:06:34- Denis, I'm glad I caught you.- Yep?

0:06:34 > 0:06:36I've got a confession to make.

0:06:37 > 0:06:39I saw this on the market...

0:06:39 > 0:06:40and I couldn't resist.

0:06:42 > 0:06:46I'm so glad you changed your mind about all that adoption business.

0:06:46 > 0:06:49Everyone has a wobble about something when they're...

0:06:49 > 0:06:50in the family way.

0:06:55 > 0:06:58- I've got to go and get Kim her lunch.- What?

0:06:59 > 0:07:00Don't ask.

0:07:05 > 0:07:08Do you think Daddy would like some ducks on his birthday card, Louie?

0:07:08 > 0:07:09Ooh, don't do that.

0:07:09 > 0:07:12I used to hate writing Christmas cards before.

0:07:12 > 0:07:15Now, with Martin's family in the mix, it's ten times worse.

0:07:18 > 0:07:21Did you hear something?

0:07:21 > 0:07:24IAN: Jane, I think I'm stuck.

0:07:26 > 0:07:28Jane...

0:07:28 > 0:07:30Help!

0:07:32 > 0:07:33I can't keep nipping out of work

0:07:33 > 0:07:35every time you get hungry.

0:07:35 > 0:07:37It's your arm that's broken, you know, not your legs.

0:07:37 > 0:07:39And I've got a million things to do today, you know -

0:07:39 > 0:07:40I've got work,

0:07:40 > 0:07:42I've got the rehearsals,

0:07:42 > 0:07:44I've got night class...

0:07:44 > 0:07:45I know what you're doing, you know.

0:07:45 > 0:07:47Yeah, being your unpaid skivvy.

0:07:47 > 0:07:49- Tell me about it.- No, not that.

0:07:49 > 0:07:51This play.

0:07:51 > 0:07:53Running yourself ragged at work.

0:07:53 > 0:07:55It's all because you know that,

0:07:55 > 0:07:57when that little person arrives,

0:07:57 > 0:08:00you're not going to have a lot of time to do anything else.

0:08:00 > 0:08:01Only you don't have to.

0:08:01 > 0:08:03You don't have to worry.

0:08:03 > 0:08:05I'll be there!

0:08:05 > 0:08:07Fun Auntie Kim, ready to babysit

0:08:07 > 0:08:09at the drop of a hat-ta-ta.

0:08:12 > 0:08:14Look...

0:08:14 > 0:08:16you can lean on me any time, Dee.

0:08:16 > 0:08:18I mean, I know I'm a little bit lopsided at the moment but...

0:08:18 > 0:08:20I don't want you to be my birthing partner.

0:08:20 > 0:08:22What?!

0:08:22 > 0:08:23And it's not because the dad,

0:08:23 > 0:08:25or anyone else, might show up.

0:08:27 > 0:08:30It's because this is my baby...

0:08:30 > 0:08:32and I want to do things my way.

0:08:32 > 0:08:34So... OK, look...

0:08:34 > 0:08:36No.

0:08:36 > 0:08:38Thank you for the offer of help...

0:08:41 > 0:08:42..but I don't need it.

0:08:47 > 0:08:50What do you mean you're busy on the stall?!

0:08:51 > 0:08:53Martin!

0:08:53 > 0:08:54Steven said he'd love to help

0:08:54 > 0:08:57but he's got a delivery due any minute.

0:08:57 > 0:08:58What about Ben?

0:08:58 > 0:09:00- Not answering.- Um...

0:09:00 > 0:09:02Mick?

0:09:03 > 0:09:06Well, maybe... Can't we just leave him in there?

0:09:09 > 0:09:11If it makes you feel better,

0:09:11 > 0:09:13I know that he'll be ten times more embarrassed than you are.

0:09:13 > 0:09:15That does not make me feel better at all.

0:09:15 > 0:09:17IAN: Jane!

0:09:17 > 0:09:19Come on, love, I'm getting cold.

0:09:19 > 0:09:21My fingers are getting all pruney.

0:09:25 > 0:09:26Jane!

0:09:26 > 0:09:28Stacey, please.

0:09:44 > 0:09:46I'm coming, Ian.

0:09:53 > 0:09:56- There you are.- Thank you.

0:09:56 > 0:09:57Donna said we'd find you in here.

0:09:57 > 0:09:58That was nice of her.

0:09:58 > 0:10:01Oh, come on, she wants this sorted as much as I do.

0:10:01 > 0:10:04She can't afford to run the stall another day on her own.

0:10:04 > 0:10:06I don't suppose you're here cos you want to be.

0:10:06 > 0:10:09If Ronnie's unhappy, I'm unhappy, all right? And we get it sorted.

0:10:09 > 0:10:11Yeah, I want to get back to work, so...

0:10:11 > 0:10:13Listen, I know that you think we were getting at you the other day...

0:10:13 > 0:10:15No, you both came barging round,

0:10:15 > 0:10:16accusing me of turning you against him.

0:10:16 > 0:10:18Yeah, cos you were.

0:10:18 > 0:10:20And you practically admitted that I've ruined your life.

0:10:20 > 0:10:22I didn't. You're just paranoid

0:10:22 > 0:10:24that I'm going to side with Jack over you.

0:10:24 > 0:10:26Roxy, you're my family.

0:10:26 > 0:10:30Of course I want you to be included, so does Amy, but...

0:10:30 > 0:10:31maybe there's a compromise, all right?

0:10:31 > 0:10:33We can all move to Ongar, but...

0:10:33 > 0:10:36we just don't have to live right next door to each other.

0:10:36 > 0:10:37JACK SIGHS

0:10:41 > 0:10:44I really do need to get back to the stall.

0:10:51 > 0:10:52Rox, look,

0:10:52 > 0:10:55I just want to find a solution that suits everyone.

0:10:55 > 0:10:57I just don't want to fight. Please.

0:10:57 > 0:10:59All right, look, I'm willing to put this behind us if you are?

0:10:59 > 0:11:02Promise me this - the next time Amy meets your boyfriend,

0:11:02 > 0:11:04I want to meet him first, all right?

0:11:04 > 0:11:07Bit soon to be calling him your boyfriend, ain't it?

0:11:07 > 0:11:08Sorry, this is a private conversation.

0:11:08 > 0:11:10All right, I'm just saying. You only met him Tuesday.

0:11:10 > 0:11:12I thought you picked this one up last night?

0:11:12 > 0:11:15Oh, what, you really think she's changed?

0:11:16 > 0:11:18Sorry, what part of me having a sex life

0:11:18 > 0:11:20makes me unable to fit into your perfect little family?

0:11:20 > 0:11:23Surely even you can see the bad example you're setting for Amy?

0:11:23 > 0:11:25Amy's got a mum who loves her, all right?

0:11:25 > 0:11:28She's not interested in who I sleep with.

0:11:28 > 0:11:31Just like she's not interested in your history with women either -

0:11:31 > 0:11:34which is lucky, cos there's been too many to keep track of!

0:11:37 > 0:11:39Rox...

0:11:39 > 0:11:41could you not just be nice?

0:11:46 > 0:11:48You... You don't have to go just yet.

0:11:48 > 0:11:50Lily's been a bit clingy.

0:11:50 > 0:11:52I don't want to be late picking her up.

0:11:52 > 0:11:53You got time for a cuppa first?

0:11:53 > 0:11:56Have you seen Arthur's little blue bear?

0:12:01 > 0:12:04Do you know what? It doesn't matter. Doesn't matter.

0:12:04 > 0:12:06Well, I thought you said he couldn't sleep without it.

0:12:06 > 0:12:09Well, he'll have to learn someday, won't he? Just man up, Arthur!

0:12:09 > 0:12:10- What's that under Ian? - Just keep it, Jane!

0:12:10 > 0:12:12I'll see you later, bye!

0:12:12 > 0:12:13Will we see you tomorrow?

0:12:13 > 0:12:15Stacey?

0:12:18 > 0:12:20What's she talking about, eh?

0:12:20 > 0:12:22"Be nice"? Honestly, I could write you a list a mile long

0:12:22 > 0:12:24of women he's slept with

0:12:24 > 0:12:25and that's just relatives.

0:12:25 > 0:12:26Will you shut up?!

0:12:28 > 0:12:29Oi.

0:12:29 > 0:12:31Thank you very much. You were a really big help before.

0:12:31 > 0:12:34Look, if you want to go round sleeping with married men,

0:12:34 > 0:12:37that's your business, but don't you expect me to keep schtum about it.

0:12:37 > 0:12:38Terry?

0:12:38 > 0:12:40I didn't know your mate was married, OK?

0:12:40 > 0:12:43He must have forgot to mention that before our five seconds of heaven.

0:12:43 > 0:12:44He's not any more, anyway.

0:12:44 > 0:12:46So, he's divorced?

0:12:46 > 0:12:47So, you're making a big deal out of nothing?

0:12:47 > 0:12:49Separated...

0:12:49 > 0:12:50as of Tuesday night.

0:12:51 > 0:12:53Yeah, he rung me last night.

0:12:53 > 0:12:54He's gone home, ain't he?

0:12:54 > 0:12:56Stinking of booze, feeling all guilty,

0:12:56 > 0:12:58his missus has cottoned on and kicked him out the house.

0:12:58 > 0:13:00Two kids.

0:13:00 > 0:13:01Pity.

0:13:07 > 0:13:09Go on. Go on.

0:13:09 > 0:13:10CHEERING

0:13:10 > 0:13:13- ALL: Happy birthday!- Happy Birthday, darling. Happy Birthday

0:13:13 > 0:13:14Lee, are you totally insensitive?

0:13:14 > 0:13:15Come on, it's your birthday.

0:13:15 > 0:13:17We're all up for a drink.

0:13:17 > 0:13:18No, you're not.

0:13:18 > 0:13:20Look, just cos we've had a bit of bad luck it,

0:13:20 > 0:13:23it don't mean the world has to stop turning.

0:13:23 > 0:13:24That's right. So, here you are.

0:13:24 > 0:13:26Look, get your laughing gear round that, girl.

0:13:26 > 0:13:28We'll all have a drop of fizz, you know, a bit of a sing-song.

0:13:28 > 0:13:30Yeah. Look, I...

0:13:32 > 0:13:35..got these from the market stall earlier.

0:13:35 > 0:13:37They're panic alarms, right?

0:13:37 > 0:13:40So, the minute there's any sign of trouble, we press that -

0:13:40 > 0:13:42all hell breaks loose.

0:13:42 > 0:13:43Send the bad guys running for the hills.

0:13:43 > 0:13:45Can we not talk about this later?

0:13:45 > 0:13:47No, Lee. It's important.

0:13:47 > 0:13:50Tracey, here you are, that's for you. It's a panic alarm.

0:13:55 > 0:13:56Hello, Derek.

0:13:59 > 0:14:01Martin Fowler.

0:14:01 > 0:14:04Come here!

0:14:04 > 0:14:06Oh!

0:14:08 > 0:14:09I...

0:14:09 > 0:14:12I heard about Pauline. I'm sorry I didn't get to the funeral.

0:14:12 > 0:14:14No, It's all right.

0:14:14 > 0:14:15Thank you for sending the flowers.

0:14:15 > 0:14:18It seems like such a long time ago now.

0:14:18 > 0:14:19Yes.

0:14:19 > 0:14:21It's really good to see you again.

0:14:21 > 0:14:23I heard about you and Sonia as well.

0:14:23 > 0:14:25Oh, yeah. We're still mates.

0:14:25 > 0:14:27She's down in Kettering, she's doing really well.

0:14:27 > 0:14:29No, I'm remarried now.

0:14:29 > 0:14:30Stop it!

0:14:30 > 0:14:32Lily! Put that thing down!

0:14:32 > 0:14:34Is that Stacey Slater?!

0:14:34 > 0:14:36I would hardly have recognised her.

0:14:36 > 0:14:38Believe it or not, this is the highlight of my day.

0:14:38 > 0:14:40Get over there.

0:14:42 > 0:14:44Everyone!

0:14:44 > 0:14:46I'm sure we've all had a chance to read the new material

0:14:46 > 0:14:50and I'm sure you will all join me in telling our writer,

0:14:50 > 0:14:51Denise Fox,

0:14:51 > 0:14:53exactly what we think.

0:14:56 > 0:15:00APPLAUSE

0:15:02 > 0:15:04Jack was bang out of order this afternoon.

0:15:04 > 0:15:06He's just put so much pressure on the move.

0:15:06 > 0:15:08He wants everything to be perfect for us all.

0:15:08 > 0:15:10He wants it to be perfect for you and him, and the kids.

0:15:10 > 0:15:13- He couldn't care less about me.- Mummy!- Hey!

0:15:13 > 0:15:14There's my big girl.

0:15:14 > 0:15:17- How was dinner?- Beef stew.- Eurgh!

0:15:17 > 0:15:18Excuse me, you said you liked it earlier!

0:15:18 > 0:15:21We used to say we liked Mum's Hawaiian liver, didn't we?

0:15:21 > 0:15:24We made Christmas cards at school today.

0:15:24 > 0:15:26Nice. Am I going to get one?

0:15:26 > 0:15:27Should your friend get one, too?

0:15:29 > 0:15:30My friend from this morning?

0:15:31 > 0:15:33Is he your boyfriend?

0:15:33 > 0:15:34No!

0:15:34 > 0:15:37No. What makes you say that?

0:15:37 > 0:15:39Because you were cuddling and kissing, and stuff.

0:15:41 > 0:15:43I can't wait to have a boyfriend.

0:15:43 > 0:15:44Amy, sweetie,

0:15:44 > 0:15:47why don't you take your colouring in the living room, OK?

0:15:49 > 0:15:51Rox, don't worry.

0:15:51 > 0:15:53It's just...

0:15:53 > 0:15:54It's kids' talk, that's all.

0:15:54 > 0:15:56Yeah. Yeah, I know.

0:15:57 > 0:15:59Um...

0:15:59 > 0:16:00I'll see you later.

0:16:03 > 0:16:05I've picked up Craig's food.

0:16:05 > 0:16:07I don't want another uninvited guest getting in on the act.

0:16:07 > 0:16:09Enough about the cat, Mum.

0:16:09 > 0:16:10People have real problems, yeah?

0:16:10 > 0:16:12Do they?

0:16:12 > 0:16:13What sort of "real problems"?

0:16:13 > 0:16:15Hey.

0:16:17 > 0:16:18Now, I could be wrong,

0:16:18 > 0:16:21but I'm pretty sure I've just seen a puma sneaking out the window

0:16:21 > 0:16:23with Craig's sparkly collar in its mouth. Argh!

0:16:23 > 0:16:25It's not nice to mock your mother, you know.

0:16:25 > 0:16:29I just popped in because Darius text...

0:16:29 > 0:16:31and we are back on for tomorrow.

0:16:31 > 0:16:33Seriously?!

0:16:33 > 0:16:34What happened?

0:16:34 > 0:16:36This one here told him how upset you were,

0:16:36 > 0:16:38how much you were looking forward to it.

0:16:38 > 0:16:40Guilt worked a treat.

0:16:41 > 0:16:44Oh, Shaki,

0:16:44 > 0:16:46you shouldn't talk to your brother like that,

0:16:46 > 0:16:48not on my account...

0:16:48 > 0:16:50but I'm really glad you did.

0:16:50 > 0:16:51Come here.

0:16:57 > 0:16:59Will you stop stirring it so much?

0:16:59 > 0:17:00It's going to be well mushy.

0:17:00 > 0:17:01It's called a stir-fry.

0:17:01 > 0:17:04You're supposed to "stir" it?

0:17:04 > 0:17:06- Oi!- Pass the tofu.

0:17:06 > 0:17:07The what?

0:17:07 > 0:17:11It's veggie. It's good for you.

0:17:11 > 0:17:13If you two are trying to keep me alive for the next 30 years

0:17:13 > 0:17:14just so I can...

0:17:14 > 0:17:16listen to you banging on,

0:17:16 > 0:17:17then don't bother.

0:17:18 > 0:17:20We need more onions.

0:17:20 > 0:17:21Keep stirring.

0:17:24 > 0:17:26Right, I'm going for a wee.

0:17:26 > 0:17:28Don't bother stirring for a while.

0:17:32 > 0:17:34You're quiet.

0:17:35 > 0:17:36You complaining?

0:17:39 > 0:17:43You've done all right, you know, with those two.

0:17:43 > 0:17:45Despite everything.

0:17:45 > 0:17:46Cheers.

0:17:46 > 0:17:49Come on, Phil, it's you and me.

0:17:49 > 0:17:50We haven't got to sit here

0:17:50 > 0:17:53and pretend you've been father of the year, do we?

0:17:54 > 0:17:56SHE SIGHS

0:17:56 > 0:17:58I... I don't know what I'm doing with my life.

0:18:00 > 0:18:02I suppose Sharon told you

0:18:02 > 0:18:04she caught me on the landing with that bloke, right?

0:18:04 > 0:18:07Honestly, Phil, I have not slept with anyone since...

0:18:08 > 0:18:10For a long time.

0:18:10 > 0:18:13And the minute I do, everyone starts judging.

0:18:13 > 0:18:15I mean, what am I supposed to do?

0:18:15 > 0:18:17Not have a life of my own?

0:18:19 > 0:18:20Not how you've done things.

0:18:21 > 0:18:22Yeah...

0:18:24 > 0:18:26..and maybe, if I'd put my kids first a bit more often,

0:18:26 > 0:18:28I wouldn't be sitting here...

0:18:28 > 0:18:29eating tofu.

0:18:31 > 0:18:34It's too late now, though, isn't it?

0:18:37 > 0:18:39Evening.

0:18:39 > 0:18:41All right, Denise.

0:18:41 > 0:18:43Hiya. You all right?

0:18:52 > 0:18:54OK, guys, are we ready?

0:18:54 > 0:18:55Sharon, if you can find a seat...

0:18:55 > 0:18:57That's great. And then we'll have a little chat

0:18:57 > 0:18:59about this lovely novel

0:18:59 > 0:19:00by Charlotte Bronte.

0:19:01 > 0:19:05All I wanted to do was win my wife a stuffed bear

0:19:05 > 0:19:08and I'd have been better off

0:19:08 > 0:19:11staying at home and ordering it online.

0:19:11 > 0:19:12Yeah, but if you'd done that,

0:19:12 > 0:19:16we wouldn't have had that hot chocolate with marshmallows in it.

0:19:16 > 0:19:20Or heard those carollers singing Silent Night.

0:19:20 > 0:19:23Or had those three glasses of mulled wine.

0:19:23 > 0:19:24HE CHUCKLES

0:19:24 > 0:19:28It was very nice mulled wine.

0:19:28 > 0:19:30Do you know what? I like all that stuff.

0:19:30 > 0:19:33Makes you realise Christmas is just round the corner.

0:19:38 > 0:19:40So, come on, then -

0:19:40 > 0:19:43which one of us is going to get up and get the wine?

0:19:43 > 0:19:45Denise, can I have a word before you go?

0:19:54 > 0:19:56You know, if this is about that essay, then...

0:19:56 > 0:19:58No, no, no, it's not about the essay.

0:19:58 > 0:20:00No, I just wanted to let you know

0:20:00 > 0:20:02I'm organising some Christmas drinks

0:20:02 > 0:20:03in a couple of weeks' time

0:20:03 > 0:20:05and hope you can come along.

0:20:05 > 0:20:07I know it's going to start getting a bit tricky with...

0:20:07 > 0:20:10Oh, no, no, I can always just come along and have a chat -

0:20:10 > 0:20:12even if it is over a soft drink.

0:20:12 > 0:20:15Listen, you're doing so well, Denise.

0:20:15 > 0:20:19The last thing I'd want is to see your studies slip away.

0:20:19 > 0:20:22Yeah, but there's no worries about that.

0:20:22 > 0:20:23I am committed to this.

0:20:23 > 0:20:25I wouldn't be here if I wasn't, would I?

0:20:25 > 0:20:28Look, you're top of the class, you know.

0:20:28 > 0:20:30You keep it up and...

0:20:30 > 0:20:32you'll go far.

0:20:36 > 0:20:39You're not still upset about what Amy said, are you?

0:20:39 > 0:20:40No.

0:20:40 > 0:20:43She's just a kid. She doesn't know what she's saying.

0:20:43 > 0:20:44Exactly.

0:20:44 > 0:20:48Look, I hate it when we fight, Rox.

0:20:48 > 0:20:50I know it's going to be an adjustment,

0:20:50 > 0:20:51what with the move and everything,

0:20:51 > 0:20:53but we're always going to be us.

0:20:53 > 0:20:55Even if we're not in Walford.

0:20:55 > 0:20:57Is Jack here?

0:20:57 > 0:20:59I think you both need to hear this.

0:21:02 > 0:21:04Patrick!

0:21:06 > 0:21:08There's no need to hide,

0:21:08 > 0:21:11cos I'm in such a good mood

0:21:11 > 0:21:12that I've even forgiven you

0:21:12 > 0:21:14for not showing up at rehearsals...

0:21:18 > 0:21:19HE CHUCKLES

0:21:19 > 0:21:23I thought you'd understand if I stayed home just this once. Hmm?

0:21:25 > 0:21:27I can't accept that.

0:21:27 > 0:21:28Come on now, man, it's just a gift.

0:21:28 > 0:21:30No, no, you don't understand. It's...

0:21:30 > 0:21:32- Come on, it's the least I can do.- No!

0:21:32 > 0:21:35No, because I'm putting the baby up for adoption.

0:21:40 > 0:21:42This move to Ongar,

0:21:42 > 0:21:44it's not just about a new home.

0:21:44 > 0:21:48It's not just about spending the proceeds from this place.

0:21:48 > 0:21:50It's about a better life for our kids.

0:21:50 > 0:21:52You see?

0:21:52 > 0:21:54I told you she gets it.

0:21:54 > 0:21:55I do get it.

0:21:56 > 0:22:00I get that it's about setting Amy on the right path.

0:22:00 > 0:22:03SHE CLEARS THROAT

0:22:03 > 0:22:05That's why you need to move to Ongar without me.

0:22:10 > 0:22:11How long have you known?

0:22:11 > 0:22:13I knew I didn't want this baby from the start.

0:22:13 > 0:22:15No, no. I mean, how long have you known you were going to give it up?

0:22:15 > 0:22:18Oh...

0:22:18 > 0:22:19Couple of months.

0:22:19 > 0:22:21I've been meeting with social services and...

0:22:24 > 0:22:25..everything's in motion.

0:22:30 > 0:22:32Well, go on, then, say it.

0:22:33 > 0:22:35"How could you?"

0:22:35 > 0:22:37I know what you're thinking.

0:22:38 > 0:22:41Yeah, but you know, Dee,

0:22:41 > 0:22:43you are such a good mother...

0:22:43 > 0:22:44Why?

0:22:44 > 0:22:46Because I am a good mum.

0:22:48 > 0:22:50I've dedicated myself to it for years.

0:22:52 > 0:22:53It's all I know.

0:22:55 > 0:22:56Look, I want to know more.

0:22:58 > 0:22:59Be more.

0:23:02 > 0:23:03I want to...

0:23:04 > 0:23:06..fulfil my potential.

0:23:12 > 0:23:15You don't have to hold yourself back, you know.

0:23:16 > 0:23:20You're not going to say anything I haven't already said to myself.

0:23:23 > 0:23:26Look how I behaved when Libby was pregnant.

0:23:26 > 0:23:28I just... I couldn't get my head

0:23:28 > 0:23:32around the idea of someone not wanting their own baby.

0:23:34 > 0:23:36Wow.

0:23:37 > 0:23:39If I could go back there now...

0:23:41 > 0:23:43I don't like this, Patrick, you know?

0:23:43 > 0:23:44If I thought there was another way...

0:23:44 > 0:23:45Oh, but there is.

0:23:45 > 0:23:49No. If I thought there was another way that I can have

0:23:49 > 0:23:50the life that I want to have.

0:23:52 > 0:23:54I've been the woman

0:23:54 > 0:23:56that puts their kid first for years...

0:23:56 > 0:23:59and I can't do it any more.

0:24:01 > 0:24:02I want a career.

0:24:02 > 0:24:04I want success.

0:24:04 > 0:24:07Yeah, yeah, but plenty of people have children AND success.

0:24:07 > 0:24:08Yeah, maybe, but I can't.

0:24:09 > 0:24:11I'm talking about...

0:24:13 > 0:24:15..changing my whole life.

0:24:16 > 0:24:19Going on a different path,

0:24:19 > 0:24:20you know, at my age.

0:24:22 > 0:24:24It's massive...

0:24:24 > 0:24:26and it's going to be a struggle...

0:24:29 > 0:24:30..and I can't wait.

0:24:32 > 0:24:35The thought of doing my GCSE...

0:24:37 > 0:24:39..it gets my heart racing

0:24:39 > 0:24:41more than this baby does.

0:24:41 > 0:24:43Now, how can that be fair

0:24:43 > 0:24:45to want to bring up a child

0:24:45 > 0:24:47when you're feeling like that?

0:24:48 > 0:24:50If...

0:24:50 > 0:24:52If you do this...

0:24:52 > 0:24:53If you make this choice...

0:24:54 > 0:24:56..there is no going back, you know.

0:24:59 > 0:25:01I choose...

0:25:03 > 0:25:04..to let my baby...

0:25:05 > 0:25:08..be with a family who's going to love 'em.

0:25:10 > 0:25:13Not get stuck with some...

0:25:13 > 0:25:15ageing woman, who's just going to end up resenting it.

0:25:15 > 0:25:17No, no, no.

0:25:17 > 0:25:19You are going to love this child.

0:25:19 > 0:25:20Dee, I know you would.

0:25:20 > 0:25:21Love isn't enough.

0:25:21 > 0:25:23You have to want to be a mum.

0:25:23 > 0:25:26It's hard enough when you're just...

0:25:26 > 0:25:28taking it on for all the wrong reasons.

0:25:30 > 0:25:32Look, Patrick, this isn't something

0:25:32 > 0:25:34you're going to be able to talk me out of.

0:25:34 > 0:25:36I'm not asking for your permission.

0:25:36 > 0:25:37I'm just...

0:25:39 > 0:25:41I'm just... I'm saying, please...

0:25:45 > 0:25:49Please don't let me do this on my own. Not any more.

0:26:05 > 0:26:06Jack's just settling the kids.

0:26:10 > 0:26:12Don't let that picture fool you.

0:26:14 > 0:26:17We came from a so-called "perfect" family.

0:26:17 > 0:26:19It doesn't mean anything.

0:26:24 > 0:26:26SHE SIGHS I can't change...

0:26:27 > 0:26:29..and we can't keep doing this to each other.

0:26:29 > 0:26:31I can't keep putting you in the middle,

0:26:31 > 0:26:33and making you choose between me and Jack.

0:26:33 > 0:26:35Well, that's for me to decide.

0:26:35 > 0:26:37It's not good for any of us.

0:26:37 > 0:26:40Someone's got to put an end to this and...

0:26:40 > 0:26:41it might as well be me.

0:26:41 > 0:26:43We're sisters.

0:26:43 > 0:26:45One doesn't work without the other.

0:26:45 > 0:26:46That is the way it's always been.

0:26:48 > 0:26:51I used to think it was cute.

0:26:51 > 0:26:53You know, when we were little, it was but...

0:26:55 > 0:26:57..now I'm just starting to think it's a bit sad.

0:26:59 > 0:27:00So, you agree with Jack, then?

0:27:02 > 0:27:03No.

0:27:03 > 0:27:05No, this is just another way of making me choose.

0:27:05 > 0:27:07No, no.

0:27:07 > 0:27:11No, this is the complete opposite of what I want!

0:27:11 > 0:27:13I just want us to be grown-ups for a change.

0:27:13 > 0:27:17Right, and abandoning your kid - that's the way to do that, is it?

0:27:17 > 0:27:19You think I'm abandoning her?

0:27:19 > 0:27:20Well, aren't you?

0:27:23 > 0:27:24Ron...

0:27:24 > 0:27:26ever since Amy was born...

0:27:27 > 0:27:30..I never ever felt I knew how to be a good mum.

0:27:32 > 0:27:36I basically thought you just had to show up and...

0:27:36 > 0:27:38stick around.

0:27:38 > 0:27:39Well, that's not a bad start.

0:27:41 > 0:27:43It's not enough.

0:27:47 > 0:27:48Amy deserves...

0:27:50 > 0:27:52..a much more stable life than I can give her.

0:27:56 > 0:27:59I'm taking a step back, OK?

0:27:59 > 0:28:01It's best for her...

0:28:01 > 0:28:03and I think it's best for all of us.

0:28:16 > 0:28:18Do you...?

0:28:18 > 0:28:20Do you think you can forgive me?

0:28:31 > 0:28:33SHE SOBS

0:28:36 > 0:28:39SHE SOBS UNCONTROLLABLY
