0:00:33 > 0:00:34Breakfast, Dave!
0:00:36 > 0:00:38Where are you?
0:00:38 > 0:00:41Oh, you ain't hiding yourself again, are you?
0:00:41 > 0:00:43You daft thing!
0:00:43 > 0:00:45Come on, now, breakfast.
0:00:49 > 0:00:53Oh, Lord, don't say I left the window open all night!
0:00:56 > 0:00:57Hey.
0:00:57 > 0:01:02I know you're bored, darling, but the holidays won't go any quicker by you driving me up the wall.
0:01:02 > 0:01:06Now, there's a sponsored cycle on in the Square gardens later.
0:01:06 > 0:01:07That should keep you entertained.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09Sounds great.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14Did I hear the phone a minute ago?
0:01:14 > 0:01:17Yeah, it was Dot. Worrying about a missing cat.
0:01:17 > 0:01:18Didn't even know she had a cat.
0:01:18 > 0:01:23Well, that's probably because you haven't been round for a proper chat since you've been back.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26She'll know you're here. Dot knows everything that goes on in Walford.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29Hm. All the more reason to keep a low profile.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32Come on. She was a good friend to your mum.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35Pop in. Oh, and have a look for that cat while you're at it.
0:01:35 > 0:01:36She's very attached.
0:01:36 > 0:01:40Well, if I promise to see Dot, will you take a look at this?
0:01:40 > 0:01:44I've been staring at this CV so long I can't see the wood for the trees.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46You couldn't be a fresh pair of eyes, could you?
0:01:46 > 0:01:49Looking for a job at this hour - I'm impressed.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51Yeah.
0:01:51 > 0:01:55Well, after our little chat last night, I realised I can either
0:01:55 > 0:01:59lounge around feeling sorry for myself or I can get out there.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03You did mean what you said about lending me some money?
0:02:03 > 0:02:06Well, yeah, but I don't see what the hurry is.
0:02:06 > 0:02:07I need to get away.
0:02:07 > 0:02:11I need to find a job and I need to stop living off your generosity.
0:02:11 > 0:02:16I've found a few that sound interesting. One up in Manchester.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18Even a few I like the look of up in Scotland.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21Give us a shout when you've had a look, yeah?
0:02:21 > 0:02:22Yeah.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27Look like you're flagging there a bit.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29You sure you're up for this?
0:02:29 > 0:02:32It's called pacing yourself, actually, and enough of the mind games.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34It's going to be a long enough day as it is.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36First to three miles, then?
0:02:37 > 0:02:38You're on.
0:02:38 > 0:02:42You're going to make that broken collarbone of yours worse if you're not careful.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45I've already had three cyclists drop out, his missus included.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47If we don't pick up the pace, we're going to be here until midnight!
0:02:47 > 0:02:51I thought this was meant to be a bit of fun, not the Tour De France?
0:02:51 > 0:02:52Tell me about it.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55It's not even half eight yet and these boys are over-excited.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58I just wondered if you wanted to meet in the Vic after.
0:02:58 > 0:03:02Shirley's coming home and I wanted to chuck her a bit of a bash.
0:03:02 > 0:03:03Really?
0:03:03 > 0:03:06I didn't think you two were on the best of terms at the moment.
0:03:06 > 0:03:07Yeah. Sisters, eh?
0:03:07 > 0:03:10Can't live with them, can't be bothered to ignore them for ever.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12Well, you can bet we'll be over at the Vic later.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15I wouldn't want to miss Shirley sprouting her prison stories for the world.
0:03:15 > 0:03:19I thought I'd be glad to see the back of her, but I've missed her,
0:03:19 > 0:03:21the loud-mouthed cow.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24Despite it all, Shirley's my best mate.
0:03:24 > 0:03:28You know, and even when we can't bear each other,
0:03:28 > 0:03:30I still couldn't be without her.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37She's even talking about going to Scotland.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39Closer than Florida.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42Look, Sharon, to be honest with you, I've got bigger things on my mind
0:03:42 > 0:03:45at the minute than where Michelle gets a job.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48Look, if she goes now, with things the way they are,
0:03:48 > 0:03:50that might be it for the two of you.
0:03:50 > 0:03:55The last time she left Walford she stayed away for 20 years, don't forget.
0:03:55 > 0:03:56Michelle.
0:03:56 > 0:04:01Look, she's made her mistakes, but she's ready to face up to them.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04Well, it didn't seem like it when me and Stacey spoke to her yesterday.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07You should have seen the state of her last night when she came home.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10You know, she was a wreck.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12Which means we need to support her even more.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15She's ruined my business.
0:04:15 > 0:04:20Yeah, and her own life in the process. Please, Ian.
0:04:20 > 0:04:24She's your cousin - you've known her your whole life.
0:04:26 > 0:04:30Me making up to her, it's not going to be enough to make her stay, is it?
0:04:30 > 0:04:31Well, it'll help.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34If we can get her in the Vic tonight,
0:04:34 > 0:04:37show her how much we care, that might just do the trick.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39There's no way she'll agree to go back in the Vic.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41Today she will.
0:04:42 > 0:04:46Well, I don't suppose you've noticed what the date is?
0:04:46 > 0:04:48Mum died, 15 years ago today.
0:04:48 > 0:04:52Sharon, I'm so sorry. I didn't...
0:04:52 > 0:04:55I thought we could toast her in her old haunt later.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57Say seven?
0:04:57 > 0:04:59Yeah, of course. We'll be there.
0:04:59 > 0:05:03And so will Michelle. She's my best mate.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06She's not about to refuse me this - I'll make sure of it.
0:05:15 > 0:05:16Oi!
0:05:16 > 0:05:20Oi, you can't just dump my stuff on the doorstep!
0:05:58 > 0:06:02You stab that thing any harder, your finger'll snap off.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04Quote from the builder from yesterday.
0:06:04 > 0:06:08I'm trying to figure out where we can find the money.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10If we can find the money...
0:06:10 > 0:06:14Are you sure you'll be able to forgive Michelle for starting all this?
0:06:14 > 0:06:16I know Sharon was pushing for it.
0:06:16 > 0:06:21Mark and Michelle were more like a brother and sister
0:06:21 > 0:06:24to me than cousins when we were growing up.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27I can't turn my back on that, not for anything.
0:06:27 > 0:06:32If I'd have done the insurance properly, we wouldn't be in this mess, would we?
0:06:33 > 0:06:35Ian...
0:06:36 > 0:06:40Ian, I know how much that chippy means to you.
0:06:42 > 0:06:46I can still remember us working together behind the counter.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49The twins doing a shift after school...
0:06:50 > 0:06:53..but if holding on to it's causing you this much stress,
0:06:53 > 0:06:55if it means losing this house or the other businesses,
0:06:55 > 0:06:58then maybe it's time we cut our losses and sold up?
0:07:05 > 0:07:09Hey, shall we tell them how much going off fast knackers your legs?
0:07:09 > 0:07:12Nah. They'll find out for themselves.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16You fancy a flutter on the National?
0:07:16 > 0:07:19I mean, everybody loves a sweepstake.
0:07:19 > 0:07:20Go on, then.
0:07:20 > 0:07:24All right. Yeah, man. Oh, by the way, I just heard from Dot.
0:07:24 > 0:07:28Her cat's gone walkabout, so just keep an eye, all right?
0:07:28 > 0:07:31Yeah, course. I'm just going nip off for some more water.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33Hold the fort, yeah?
0:07:33 > 0:07:34Got it. Yeah.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36You all right, darling?
0:07:36 > 0:07:40Looks like everything's going well. I can't wait for my turn later.
0:07:40 > 0:07:41That's what they all say.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44Until they get on the bike and overdo it.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46Has anyone got any water?
0:07:47 > 0:07:50Lucky boy. Last one.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53You won't catch me wearing myself out in five minutes.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55If there's anything I have learned,
0:07:55 > 0:07:58it's that things are more fun when you take them slow.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04Right, so I just checked the maps.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07And miles wise, we're somewhere near Maidenhead.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10Well, the next batch have got to move fast if we've got to make up some ground.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13Don't let him scare you. Slow and steady wins the race, yeah?
0:08:13 > 0:08:15Yeah. See you later.
0:08:15 > 0:08:20Oh, and I've seen you touting your sweepstake around the market.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23Find me later - I love a little flutter!
0:08:27 > 0:08:32Look, now, man, you're never going to sort this thing out if she keeps walking away, you know.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46- Hot chocolate on the house, and no arguments.- Thanks, Kath.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50That's a lovely photo.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52I can see why you went to the trouble of having it framed.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55It was meant to be a present for Mum.
0:08:55 > 0:08:56Don't tell Shirley you've seen it.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59I promised her it'd never see the light of day.
0:09:01 > 0:09:06Listen, Tina, tell me to mind my own business, but...
0:09:06 > 0:09:09I saw you coming out of number 55 before,
0:09:09 > 0:09:11and what with that and the bin bags...
0:09:11 > 0:09:13I got evicted yesterday.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15But I'm all right about it. I'm fine.
0:09:15 > 0:09:19I was down about it. Mostly down about Shirl...
0:09:19 > 0:09:24But Michelle and Sharon, they kindly lent me their settee.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27And the kids there, they're a real laugh.
0:09:27 > 0:09:31And me and Shirl - we'll get through this.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33The two of us, we always do.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37She's getting out later.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39Oh, Tina, that's great news!
0:09:39 > 0:09:42Yeah, I was thinking of having a few drinks in the Vic later, if you're up for it.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44Yeah, sounds great.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46I can put on a bit of a spread, if you like.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48Thanks, Kathy.
0:09:49 > 0:09:50Right.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56Right, so, Kim's a drop-out, yeah?
0:09:56 > 0:09:58Yeah, sorry about that.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01Look, if it helps, this salsa course that she booked last minute
0:10:01 > 0:10:04is costing me way more than it's costing you.
0:10:04 > 0:10:05Well, not to worry,
0:10:05 > 0:10:09cos I'm sure wonder boy here can pick up the slack.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11Oh, nice threads, bruv.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14Yeah. Mum made me wear them. If anyone sees me, I swear...
0:10:14 > 0:10:17Relax! Look, if you're going to do a good job,
0:10:17 > 0:10:19- you've got to wear the proper gear. - Real men wear Lycra.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22- Do they?- That's it, I'm going.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25Where do you think you're going off to?
0:10:25 > 0:10:26This is humiliating, Mum.
0:10:26 > 0:10:31What - getting healthy and helping your mum and your brother is humiliating, is it?
0:10:31 > 0:10:34- Yes.- I'd better go and remind Winston he's on in a bit.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36Yeah, about that.
0:10:36 > 0:10:40Yo, Shaks - why's there a chipolata down your shorts, bruv?
0:10:40 > 0:10:41Just ignore him, poppet.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46Get off the bike.
0:10:46 > 0:10:50- What?- I need you to get off the bike and let me take over.
0:10:50 > 0:10:51What are you saying to him?
0:10:51 > 0:10:54Shakil, just this once I'm telling you ignore your mum
0:10:54 > 0:10:56and listen to what I am telling you, OK?
0:10:56 > 0:10:58I've got a picture!
0:10:58 > 0:11:01Give it a minute, it'll be all round school.
0:11:01 > 0:11:02Shaki!
0:11:02 > 0:11:05Sorry, Mum.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07What do you think you're doing?
0:11:07 > 0:11:11I'm doing my bit for the sponsored cycle, just like you are.
0:11:11 > 0:11:15And if you have to listen to me while I'm up here, then so be it.
0:11:17 > 0:11:21All right, Johnny? Did you get those banners I texted you about?
0:11:21 > 0:11:23Yeah, I think they've seen better days.
0:11:23 > 0:11:27That don't matter, as long as Shirley knows we've made the effort.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29Oh, I've reserved you an area for later an' all.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31- Oh, cool.- Plus...
0:11:32 > 0:11:33What?
0:11:33 > 0:11:36Well, I mentioned to Sharon about Shirley coming home, right,
0:11:36 > 0:11:39and I said wouldn't it be a nice idea if we stand everyone
0:11:39 > 0:11:40the first drinks of the night?
0:11:40 > 0:11:44"How could I look your mum in the eye if I told her I'd given away the house?"
0:11:44 > 0:11:47I mean, honestly, what was Linda thinking leaving her in charge?!
0:11:47 > 0:11:50It's a joke. She's barely even been here!
0:11:50 > 0:11:54And Lady Di, she's still not right. She's missing Mick, I think.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57OK, look, the drinks don't matter, all right? The banners don't matter.
0:11:57 > 0:12:01All that matters is that Shirley is back where she belongs, all right?
0:12:03 > 0:12:05Look, I know that you probably think
0:12:05 > 0:12:11that me and Kush is just some daft fling, but I promise you,
0:12:11 > 0:12:13this is for real.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16We're in it for the long haul.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18If we weren't, do you really think
0:12:18 > 0:12:21that we would have risked all this upset?
0:12:25 > 0:12:29Carmel, look, neither of us have wanted to hurt you,
0:12:29 > 0:12:32and we have tried to stay away from each other.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37When this started between us last year...
0:12:37 > 0:12:39Last year?!
0:12:42 > 0:12:45I heard you were missing someone. Still no sign?
0:12:45 > 0:12:51No. Well, he ain't really my cat, you know, as such.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53We just found each other.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55We had a cat once.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58- Did you?- I think he only lasted about a month before he ran off.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00Probably ended up getting eaten by something.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02Oh, don't say that, Michelle.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05Well, of course, that's Florida. Wouldn't happen here.
0:13:05 > 0:13:09- It's all them crocodiles, I suppose, yes.- Yeah.
0:13:09 > 0:13:14I mean, if he don't want to stay with me, I can't make him, can I?
0:13:16 > 0:13:20I'm sorry I've not been round for a proper catch-up.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22Mum would be ashamed of me.
0:13:22 > 0:13:26Oh, don't worry yourself. You've been busy.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28You've heard, then.
0:13:28 > 0:13:32- Sharon said you still had your finger on the pulse.- Oh!
0:13:32 > 0:13:36I'd like to say it's not as bad as it sounds, but...
0:13:38 > 0:13:44I've decided it's best...if I head off again. Not America this time.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46Just somewhere.
0:13:46 > 0:13:51But, you only have one home, Michelle, and yours is Walford,
0:13:51 > 0:13:53no matter where you go.
0:13:56 > 0:14:01I tell you what - why don't I take over the search?
0:14:01 > 0:14:02What?
0:14:02 > 0:14:05I can knock on a few doors, maybe make up some flyers...
0:14:05 > 0:14:07That's very good of you, but you've got enough on your plate.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09No, no, I insist.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12If I find him, I'll bring him straight home. What's his name?
0:14:12 > 0:14:13Dave.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18Fingers crossed I'll have Dave back by tea-time.
0:14:25 > 0:14:29Carmel. Carmel, will you stop and talk to me? Carmel! Will you...
0:14:30 > 0:14:34Look, Kush isn't the baby's father if that's what you're worrying about.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36No, that was just some grubby one-night stand!
0:14:36 > 0:14:40I thought you'd only just recently started sneaking behind my back.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43Turns out you have been at it for a whole year!
0:14:43 > 0:14:45Look, don't you get it?
0:14:45 > 0:14:48You were one of the reasons that we tried to stay away from each other!
0:14:48 > 0:14:51You mean the world to us. To both of us, Carmel.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53You're my best mate, you know you are.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55Yeah, and you're spoiled goods.
0:14:57 > 0:14:58I didn't mean that.
0:14:58 > 0:14:59Yeah, you did.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04Kush being with you isn't like being with another woman.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06I mean, he'd be giving up his chance to have more kids.
0:15:06 > 0:15:12No, no, no. This... You've got two sons. This ain't about grandkids.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17He's my first-born. My Kushy.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20And I'm never going to be good enough for him, am I, no matter what I do?
0:15:20 > 0:15:24I'm sorry. Just put yourself in my shoes, yeah?
0:15:24 > 0:15:27I mean, what if Libby was going out with someone twice her age...
0:15:27 > 0:15:29Someone who was spoiled goods. Is that what you mean?
0:15:29 > 0:15:31No, I didn't...
0:15:31 > 0:15:36Just try and see it from my point of view, that's all.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48DOOR SLAMS
0:15:53 > 0:15:56Just been out looking for Dot's cat. No sign, of course.
0:15:56 > 0:15:58It'll be long gone by now.
0:15:58 > 0:15:59Poor Dot, she'll be gutted.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01Mind you, I'm not surprised.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04That cat's got form of going walkabout.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06I told Tina she could stay another couple of nights
0:16:06 > 0:16:07if she keeps that up.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09Tidier than she looks, that one.
0:16:09 > 0:16:13- Did you get a chance to look at that CV?- Yeah!
0:16:13 > 0:16:16With your experience, any employer would be lucky to have you.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18I don't need an ego boost, Sharon.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21We both know with my references, it's going to be an uphill struggle.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23Well, don't get too comfy.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25I told Ian we'd see him in the Vic in a bit.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27No, no. No way.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30Michelle, it's 15 years since Mum died.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33I want to toast her in her own pub and I want you with me.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38You had an affair with my dad
0:16:38 > 0:16:40and you slept with my ex-husband
0:16:40 > 0:16:43and WE'RE still stood here, aren't we?
0:16:43 > 0:16:44Mistakes can be forgotten.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51CLANKING
0:16:56 > 0:16:58Carter. With me.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09Oh, wow. It's awesome!
0:17:09 > 0:17:12Well, that's down to Kathy, actually.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14But she had to get back to the cafe.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16Well, cheap and cheerful, just like Shirl!
0:17:16 > 0:17:18Ah, that's nice.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21Yeah, Shirley will probably go mad,
0:17:21 > 0:17:24but looking at it makes me really happy, so...
0:17:24 > 0:17:27If I can't get away with it tonight, when can I?
0:17:27 > 0:17:28She's not here yet?
0:17:28 > 0:17:30What?
0:17:30 > 0:17:31I'm here for the party!
0:17:31 > 0:17:33I couldn't miss Shirley coming home.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36She's been away from men for a long time now...
0:17:36 > 0:17:38I don't know, I could get lucky tonight!
0:17:38 > 0:17:40Yeah, well, good luck with that.
0:17:40 > 0:17:44Afterwards, if she wanted to go for a kebab, I might even buy.
0:17:48 > 0:17:51Sharon's coming in later, so best behaviour, yeah?
0:17:51 > 0:17:55Dad said we've got to keep her sweet while she's looking after the place.
0:17:55 > 0:17:57OK. How did he seem?
0:17:57 > 0:17:58Misses us.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00Misses this place.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02The sooner he's back, the better, eh?
0:18:02 > 0:18:04Anyone serving?
0:18:05 > 0:18:06You boys look happy.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08Well, businessmen now, ain't we? Only been one day,
0:18:08 > 0:18:11and we've already got two rooms in our house earning us cash.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13I'd better dig out the cocktail menu then!
0:18:15 > 0:18:16Did you see Land's End?
0:18:16 > 0:18:18Well, the good news is, we made it.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21And the better news is, I put in the most miles,
0:18:21 > 0:18:23so this round is definitely on someone else!
0:18:23 > 0:18:26Yes. I'll get these in. What's everybody having?
0:18:26 > 0:18:28I think I've pulled a muscle.
0:18:28 > 0:18:29Oh, Martin.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32No, I knew I should never have let you persuade me to have a go.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34All in a good cause.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36There you go.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39Listen, I've been thinking about what you said about the chippy,
0:18:39 > 0:18:41and getting rid of it...
0:18:41 > 0:18:43Yeah, it's the smart thing to do, but...
0:18:44 > 0:18:46I can't do it.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49I'm sorry, love, but that's just the way it is.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53Johnny, can I have a beer for him and a bottle of white wine
0:18:53 > 0:18:55- and three glasses, please?- Sure.
0:18:59 > 0:19:00- Hi.- Hello, all right?
0:19:02 > 0:19:04I don't believe this.
0:19:04 > 0:19:05Sharon, I...
0:19:05 > 0:19:08Look, for one night only, this is Mum's place again, OK?
0:19:08 > 0:19:09Come on.
0:19:14 > 0:19:15Lovely. Ta.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17Peace offering.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20I think I should be the one doing that, don't you?
0:19:20 > 0:19:24Thanks, Ian. I'm not sure I deserve forgiveness.
0:19:24 > 0:19:25You've got it anyway.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31Right, everyone, could I have your attention, please?
0:19:31 > 0:19:34As a lot of you know, I was brought up in this pub.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36My mum and dad both ran the place,
0:19:36 > 0:19:40but everyone knew that my mum was the heart of the Queen Victoria.
0:19:40 > 0:19:44Anyway, 15 years ago, I brought her body back here.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46I brought her home.
0:19:46 > 0:19:47No disrespect to absent friends,
0:19:47 > 0:19:50but your mum was the best landlady this place has ever had.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52My mum meant the world to me.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54Just like it means the world to have Michelle back here
0:19:54 > 0:19:55to toast her with me.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59You only really ever get one best mate in life.
0:19:59 > 0:20:00And they need holding on to.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04Where you off to?
0:20:04 > 0:20:07Just something I need to sort out. I'll see you later.
0:20:07 > 0:20:09So, if you'd all raise your glasses.
0:20:09 > 0:20:10To Angie Watts!
0:20:10 > 0:20:12Angie Watts!
0:20:12 > 0:20:13Angie Watts!
0:20:21 > 0:20:23I told you I didn't want to come in here.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42CAT MEOWS
0:21:04 > 0:21:08OK, I haven't come to try and...
0:21:09 > 0:21:12..trick you into talking to me again, so...
0:21:13 > 0:21:15I wouldn't expect you to.
0:21:16 > 0:21:17Not after what I said.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23I'm so sorry, Denise. It just came out.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26I don't like to think of myself like that.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28As someone who says nasty things.
0:21:32 > 0:21:36I don't keep in touch with any of my school friends, do you know that?
0:21:36 > 0:21:38Not a single one.
0:21:38 > 0:21:39Me neither.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43Or any of the women I was mates with when the boys were little.
0:21:43 > 0:21:47They all just faded away when the kids left school.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52Umar always said I was a man's woman.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56Not the type to have any close female friends.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59We know differently, don't we?
0:22:02 > 0:22:05I never thought I'd find a true friend.
0:22:06 > 0:22:07Not at our age.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13Me neither.
0:22:14 > 0:22:15But we did.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19That's something we can be proud of, isn't it?
0:22:23 > 0:22:25It's over between us, isn't it?
0:22:29 > 0:22:30I think so.
0:22:42 > 0:22:43Dave?
0:22:43 > 0:22:45CAT MEOWS
0:22:57 > 0:22:59How did you even manage to get...
0:23:01 > 0:23:03Dot should have left you wherever she found you,
0:23:03 > 0:23:05is what I'm thinking, you little...
0:23:13 > 0:23:14I bet you're loving all this.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20Where is she? She should have been here ages ago.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23I don't know, probably stopped off for a drink somewhere.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26Getting herself a well-earned vodka. She'll be here, trust me.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29I hope so. Kathy's egg and cress sandwiches are starting to curl.
0:23:29 > 0:23:30PHONE RINGS
0:23:30 > 0:23:33Can you get that? I've got punters stacking up here.
0:23:33 > 0:23:37Ahh! No-one touches the vol-au-vents until Shirley gets here!
0:23:40 > 0:23:41Queen Vic.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43Shirl! Where are you?
0:23:43 > 0:23:47'I'm still here in prison. I've got another three weeks.'
0:23:50 > 0:23:52- Where've you been? - Doesn't matter now.
0:23:53 > 0:23:54Oi oi!
0:23:56 > 0:23:58Get a room!
0:24:00 > 0:24:03Buy me a drink, you gorgeous man.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07You'd like who Rebecca's grown into.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12She's sweet, like Martin...
0:24:13 > 0:24:15But with Sonia's brains.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19You know what she said to me yesterday?
0:24:22 > 0:24:25"Gran would understand".
0:24:25 > 0:24:27SHE LAUGHS
0:24:27 > 0:24:31You can tell she only has Martin's version of you to work with!
0:24:33 > 0:24:36I don't know what you would have given me more grief about -
0:24:36 > 0:24:39running off with a teenager, or ruining Ian's business.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46I always thought I knew best, didn't I?
0:24:46 > 0:24:49Well, the universe had its revenge on that score
0:24:49 > 0:24:50when Vicki hit her teens.
0:24:50 > 0:24:55My word, the things that used to come out of that girl's mouth.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03Now I'd give anything just to hear her voice.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07Her and Mark are both...
0:25:10 > 0:25:13..angry, shall we say?
0:25:15 > 0:25:18He'll come round eventually, I think, but...
0:25:18 > 0:25:20daughters, they stick to their guns, don't they?
0:25:22 > 0:25:24Sometimes I think...
0:25:24 > 0:25:27I spent so many years pretending to be happy,
0:25:27 > 0:25:29just so I could lord it over you and Sharon and the rest,
0:25:29 > 0:25:31that I actually...
0:25:32 > 0:25:34I actually forgot to BE happy.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39You did that in the end, didn't you?
0:25:40 > 0:25:42Forgot to be happy.
0:25:42 > 0:25:45You pushed away everyone who ever loved you.
0:25:49 > 0:25:50When I heard what happened...
0:25:52 > 0:25:55Where you'd died, I thought, out in the cold...
0:25:55 > 0:25:57Well, she WAS cold.
0:25:59 > 0:26:00And you were, Mum.
0:26:01 > 0:26:04I just wish you hadn't been alone.
0:26:04 > 0:26:05That's all.
0:26:08 > 0:26:09Still...
0:26:11 > 0:26:13That'll be me soon, the way I'm going.
0:26:16 > 0:26:17Dead in the cold,
0:26:17 > 0:26:20and my own daughter won't bother to show her face at my funeral.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28I don't know what to do, Mum. I'm stuck.
0:26:31 > 0:26:34Stuck between the past and nothing.
0:26:37 > 0:26:39Cos what future do I have now, eh?
0:26:41 > 0:26:43I've got nothing planned.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46Nothing mapped out.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51I can't even trust my own judgment any more.
0:26:55 > 0:26:56I've lost myself.
0:27:01 > 0:27:05Maybe we're not as different as I always thought, you and me.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11At least you always knew where you belonged.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13CAT MEOWS
0:27:23 > 0:27:25I didn't think you'd have gone far.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32You know when you're onto a good thing, don't you?
0:27:32 > 0:27:34CAT PURRS
0:27:40 > 0:27:41What's up?
0:27:41 > 0:27:43It's Shirley.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46She's been done for assaulting her cellmate.
0:27:46 > 0:27:47She ain't coming out.
0:27:49 > 0:27:52I've been so angry with her. So horrible.
0:27:54 > 0:27:56Now I just want my sister back.
0:27:56 > 0:27:59Look, she'll be home soon. It'll be all right.
0:28:07 > 0:28:09So, shall we just go home, then?
0:28:09 > 0:28:11Ian.
0:28:13 > 0:28:15I found Dot's cat in the launderette.
0:28:15 > 0:28:19Probably having the time of its life chasing after all them rats.
0:28:19 > 0:28:21That's...good?
0:28:21 > 0:28:23This big old stray cat.
0:28:23 > 0:28:26I just took him back over to Dot's
0:28:26 > 0:28:29and he settled down like he'd been there all his life.
0:28:29 > 0:28:31Are you OK, darling?
0:28:36 > 0:28:39Look at the state of my hair! Where did you find this?!
0:28:39 > 0:28:41Down the back of one of the dryers.
0:28:41 > 0:28:45Probably been there since Mum's day. Guess who took that photo?
0:28:45 > 0:28:49It's so 1980s, it could have been Shakin' Stevens himself.
0:28:49 > 0:28:51I did, Sharon.
0:28:52 > 0:28:56I'm in the fabric of this place as much as you,
0:28:56 > 0:28:57or Ange,
0:28:57 > 0:28:59or Mum.
0:29:00 > 0:29:02I don't want to be a stray any more.
0:29:03 > 0:29:07I want to be happy again, put down roots, build a new life.
0:29:09 > 0:29:12Where else am I ever going to be able to do that better than here?
0:29:14 > 0:29:15Welcome home.
