0:00:54 > 0:00:57Can you believe that after five o'clock today,
0:00:57 > 0:01:00I'm never going to have to worry about this dissertation again.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03And we'll never have to listen to you going on about it either.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06No, no, no. Tina, leave them up. I've got some pies left over from
0:01:06 > 0:01:08the wholesalers. I'm doing a pie and pint special.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10What's that got to do with the flag?
0:01:10 > 0:01:13I'm going to call it St George or George II or something like that.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16- How many of them have you had?- It's my third. Come on, let's brainstorm.
0:01:16 > 0:01:20- I'm thinking flags, St George's dragons, pints, pies.- Pies?! No.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23I'm not cleaning them toilets again tomorrow.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25- Not after what I just found in there.- BOTH:- Gun, not me!
0:01:25 > 0:01:28- I stink. - I'm glad you said it, not me.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31Why don't we just do a normal food thing, you know?
0:01:31 > 0:01:33It's always quiet on a Monday night.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36Not interrupting your mothers' meeting, am I?
0:01:36 > 0:01:39- No. Woody wants to do another St George's thing.- Yeah.
0:01:39 > 0:01:43We took so much behind the bar yesterday, I just want to keep the momentum going.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45A handful of good days behind the bar ain't going to get us the
0:01:45 > 0:01:48six grand we need.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51- I'm going to call the vet later and set a date.- Shirl, not yet.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53Are you sure we can't apply to some animal charity?
0:01:53 > 0:01:55Don't drive me mad, Johnny!
0:01:55 > 0:01:59Look, just give us a few days, yeah? Maybe we can come up with something.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02- We could start a collection. - Tina, everybody round here's skint.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04- You got any better ideas?- Fine.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07You want to go round the Square looking like an idiot,
0:02:07 > 0:02:09shaking a bucket in front of people's faces...
0:02:11 > 0:02:13Come on, girl.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24You know where we are, don't you?
0:02:24 > 0:02:27Between a rock and a hard place.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30Talking to yourself, Shirley? First sign of madness!
0:02:30 > 0:02:35- Oh, what you don't know is, she talks back when there's no-one about.- Oh, what she say?
0:02:35 > 0:02:39That we noticed that you turn up for work after the bogs have been cleaned.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42This manicure costs far too much to ruin with bleach.
0:02:42 > 0:02:46- Doesn't stop you bleaching your hair though, does it?- That's pure salon, I'll have you know.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49And I've come in early to help you out, so be grateful.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52I'd be grateful if you went inside and left me alone.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55Look, I know you've had a tough week.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58Buried me mum, ceiling fell in,
0:02:58 > 0:03:01and now we've got to have the family pet put down.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03But of an understatement, don't you think?
0:03:03 > 0:03:06Are you sure you've considered all the options for Lady Di?
0:03:06 > 0:03:10- Of course I have. - Shirley, you don't have to carry the weight of this on your own.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13There are people around here who want to help.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15If you weren't so stubborn, you'd see that.
0:03:24 > 0:03:28Max. Can you meet me in the caf at half-ten?
0:03:28 > 0:03:32- What are you doing here? - Wanted to get the bus in to school with you, innit.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34- So you know there's really no hard feelings. Are there?- No.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36We're cool, aren't we?
0:03:36 > 0:03:39Yeah, course. Let me just grab my jacket and we can go.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42You definitely don't want to forget anything.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44They're really clamping down.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49Do you think we'll hear anything about the showcase this afternoon?
0:03:49 > 0:03:52- They said we would. - I really hoped we were doing Grease,
0:03:52 > 0:03:55but I suppose anything will be fun, won't it?
0:03:57 > 0:04:01If I have to ask them to put the toilet seat down one more time!
0:04:01 > 0:04:02Why can't you put it down?
0:04:02 > 0:04:05Because I wasn't the one that keeps putting it up!
0:04:05 > 0:04:08- At least the place has got heating, though.- I feel your pain.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11Imagine what it was like with Umar and three boys.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14With bad aim!
0:04:14 > 0:04:16Oh, the joys of house sharing(!)
0:04:16 > 0:04:20- Just to clarify, I do not have a bad aim.- Huh.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23Anyway, I was just on my way to grab a paper cos apparently,
0:04:23 > 0:04:26they're done a big spread on the Fayre.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28Yeah? Maybe they name-checked you in it.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31- No, I doubt it.- Why?
0:04:31 > 0:04:34I thought it was brilliant, what you said to the Mayor, wasn't it?
0:04:34 > 0:04:38- Yeah, you are the Erin Brockovich of Walford and Kush is your biggest fan.- Yeah.
0:04:38 > 0:04:42Well done, Denise, for getting things sorted that other people couldn't.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44Oh, is that Shaki? Should have gone to school by now.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53But I don't have any training packs here.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56And I'm supposed to be doing a push on corned beef today.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59Right, well, I'm just going to have to manage then, aren't I?
0:04:59 > 0:05:02Yeah. Bye.
0:05:02 > 0:05:03Problem?
0:05:03 > 0:05:06Your permanent replacement's starting today and that
0:05:06 > 0:05:09Mr Beckett, well, he was supposed to be doing their induction.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11He's phoned in sick. Asked me to do it.
0:05:11 > 0:05:15I'm sure you can train someone up with your eyes closed.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18Yeah, I could, but what with the promotions and the customers,
0:05:18 > 0:05:20and the deliveries, it's...
0:05:20 > 0:05:22Sorry.
0:05:22 > 0:05:23Anyway, listen, good picture of you
0:05:23 > 0:05:26- with the Mayor and Kush in the paper.- Really?
0:05:26 > 0:05:28Yeah.
0:05:28 > 0:05:29You should get it framed.
0:05:31 > 0:05:32Yeah. Maybe.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35Everyone's really impressed with you, you know?
0:05:35 > 0:05:37Yeah, well, not quite everyone.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39- Carmel.- Oh.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42I don't know. It just seems like every time I get within
0:05:42 > 0:05:46a few centimetres of Kush, her face drops.
0:05:47 > 0:05:51Maybe she's still feeling a little bit uncomfortable. Give her time.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54She'll come round.
0:05:57 > 0:06:01No, look, when you sell the freehold, you're not selling the business.
0:06:01 > 0:06:05The company will own the building and the land and you lot will be leaseholders.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08You'd still own the pub.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11If someone bought a flat in a block, they'd own the flat,
0:06:11 > 0:06:15- but they don't necessarily own the block, do they?- OK.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18Then, after that, you'd have enough money to pay off all your debts,
0:06:18 > 0:06:21your mortgage and, well, definitely Lady Di's operation.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24- And this company is your boss's? - No, I work for someone else.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27You're taking business away from your boss?
0:06:27 > 0:06:30My boss has got bigger fish to fry than some backstreet pub.
0:06:30 > 0:06:34I've partnered with this company Grafton Hill a couple of times before and they're great.
0:06:34 > 0:06:38They've got a really good track record of turning round failing pubs.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40Not that the Vic's failing, you know what I mean?
0:06:40 > 0:06:43But I'm sure you wouldn't say no to earning a bit more.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46And they're not going to interfere with the running of the pub?
0:06:46 > 0:06:50- They're not one of these pubco...? - No, definitely not.- Cos Linda and Mick, they wouldn't stand for that.
0:06:50 > 0:06:54- Elaine's had murders with hers. - No, all it is, as owners of the building, Grafton Hill would take
0:06:54 > 0:06:58a fixed rent, and then they'd take a turnover rent if profits go above a certain level.
0:06:58 > 0:07:03- All they're really worried about is the pub's doing the best business it can.- Right.
0:07:03 > 0:07:07And that's it. I'll leave you to think about it, yeah?
0:07:07 > 0:07:09I've got another meeting.
0:07:09 > 0:07:13What? You're not going to give me the hard sell?
0:07:13 > 0:07:16Nah. Only you know what's best for Mick, Linda and, well, Lady Di.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19See you.
0:07:19 > 0:07:20Cheers.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27TEXT ALERT
0:07:27 > 0:07:29CLATTERS
0:07:32 > 0:07:35I'll sort it out.
0:07:35 > 0:07:39Sharon's just text. To remind us Michelle's up in front of the magistrates later this week.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42So we can finally put it all to bed.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44Oh? Has Louie been throwing his food around again?
0:07:44 > 0:07:47No, that was me, actually. Sorry.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49You haven't been yourself all weekend.
0:07:49 > 0:07:54- You still worrying about how that interview went?- No, I haven't thought about that at all, actually.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56It's good you're not stressing about it.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59Hasn't been a whole work day yet, has it? When I do interviews,
0:07:59 > 0:08:03- I like to leave them hanging for at least a week. Makes them hungry for it.- Oh, Ian.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06Let me take you out, get your mind off it.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09We could go shopping, or we could take Louie to the park.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11Steven, you done all that for me last week.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13You really don't need to fuss.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18Come on, little man.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25She is definitely more bothered than she is letting on.
0:08:25 > 0:08:26Rejection's good for her, OK?
0:08:26 > 0:08:30It'll make her a much stronger candidate and considering how
0:08:30 > 0:08:34poor her interview technique was with me, I'm really not surprised.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37Look, I know she said she didn't want a fuss, but when I say that,
0:08:37 > 0:08:39I don't always mean it.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42So why don't me and you go shopping? I can help you buy something nice.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45Something to make her feel good about herself.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47Yeah, that sounds like a great idea.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50And I could get Abi to bring some lunch round for her,
0:08:50 > 0:08:52see if she can get her to open up a bit more.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57Right, lads, we've only got a steak and kidney left,
0:08:57 > 0:08:59which in my opinion is the only pie really worth having.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02None of this chicken and mushroom malarkey. Go on, then. Yeah? Sweet.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05- Nice one. I'll bring them over. - Cheers, mate.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08What have you got against chicken and mushroom?
0:09:08 > 0:09:10I just don't think it's one of life's greatest flavour
0:09:10 > 0:09:13- combinations.- Really?! - Yeah, it's like pineapple on pizza.
0:09:13 > 0:09:17It's like...Urgh! It's horrible. Anyway, if we keep going like this,
0:09:17 > 0:09:19we'll do better than we did yesterday.
0:09:19 > 0:09:23- I thought you worked in the pub trade for years.- Well, yeah, I have.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26So then you'd know that an ordinary Monday night ain't going to
0:09:26 > 0:09:28beat a St George's Day.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30You want to bet?
0:09:30 > 0:09:33- You can't bear to be wrong, can you?- No.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35- Go on, then. What's the bet? - All right.
0:09:35 > 0:09:39Um, you win, I'll wear one of your dresses behind here tomorrow night.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41OK. And then if I lose?
0:09:41 > 0:09:44You have to wear one of my dodgy T-shirts as a dress.
0:09:46 > 0:09:51- Yeah?- Yeah.- You're on.- Yeah?- Yeah. - Sweet.- You done?- Yeah.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54Just got to collect the bound copy from the printers to hand in.
0:09:54 > 0:09:55Oh, well done, Brains!
0:09:55 > 0:09:57Don't call me that.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00Oh, um, seeing as most of you are here, can I run something by you?
0:10:00 > 0:10:03I'm thinking about doing like a ladies' night tomorrow night,
0:10:03 > 0:10:05like Linda used to do.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08- We could do cocktails again, get some entertainment in.- No can do.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10Tomorrow night's quiz night.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12Yeah, but it'll bring more punters in.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15Lots of people come here just for the quiz.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19Shirl, what do you think?
0:10:19 > 0:10:21I suppose you've got to earn your keep somehow.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25Fine.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27See you lot later.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30- Linda just called. - You didn't say anything, did you?
0:10:30 > 0:10:34- No.- Good. That goes for all of you.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40Come on, Marie. You know me.
0:10:40 > 0:10:44I ain't going to fleece anybody out of any money or anything, am I?
0:10:44 > 0:10:46You know I can't agree without Kathy being here.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51Oh, thanks, Billy.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54I had a ferret once.
0:10:54 > 0:10:58Lovely little thing, it was, but he died, so I know how it feels.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03Tell Shirl we can postpone the first instalment of our fees for
0:11:03 > 0:11:05Sylvie's funeral, if it helps.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09Oh, thank you.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19- What are they?- Window boxes.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22Jane's new hobby.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24Anyway, where was I?
0:11:24 > 0:11:27Oh, yeah, Donna took us to this amazing club on Saturday near
0:11:27 > 0:11:30Spring Lane. We were supposed to go out tonight, but the boys don't want to.
0:11:30 > 0:11:34Lightweights. So it's just going to be me and Donna.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36Since when were you and Donna best mates?
0:11:36 > 0:11:38Oh, she's just fun, that's all.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41Anyway, what about you?
0:11:41 > 0:11:44- Steven said you're pretty miserable about this job interview.- Good.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47That's why you're here then. No, I'm not miserable.
0:11:47 > 0:11:48I don't even care about this job.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51It's just made me realise how much I need a new challenge, you know?
0:11:51 > 0:11:53Like?
0:11:53 > 0:11:57I think I should hand my notice in at the internship, I do.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59I think I should be focusing on getting a full-time job.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01Do you think that's a good idea?
0:12:01 > 0:12:04Jobs just don't fall into people's laps.
0:12:04 > 0:12:05You might be out of a job for months.
0:12:05 > 0:12:09Well, it's a bit more productive than going out drinking every night, ain't it?
0:12:09 > 0:12:12And by the way, Abi, just because you have been out on a few nights
0:12:12 > 0:12:15out with your new pal Donna, don't exactly make you rock and roll.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21I should go.
0:12:21 > 0:12:22See you later.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24Oh, and jealousy's an ugly trait, Lauren.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47Things to cover with new starter.
0:12:47 > 0:12:51Displays, special offers,
0:12:51 > 0:12:53best before versus sell by dates.
0:12:56 > 0:12:57- Oh, hiya.- Hi.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00I suppose it's too much to hope that you're my new starter?
0:13:00 > 0:13:03- I mean, they were supposed to be here this afternoon.- No, sorry.
0:13:05 > 0:13:09Punctuality, lateness and absences.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11Look, I can see that you're really busy.
0:13:11 > 0:13:16- I just wondered if I could leave my collection bucket here. - Sorry, Tina. Company policy.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19We can only collect for registered charities.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23Things to also cover, advertising,
0:13:23 > 0:13:26flyers and charity collections.
0:13:36 > 0:13:37If anyone saw you like this,
0:13:37 > 0:13:40they might think you actually have a heart.
0:13:40 > 0:13:44Well, when I sign her death warrant, they'll realise that I ain't.
0:13:46 > 0:13:51Look, I've had an idea for a fundraiser for her.
0:13:51 > 0:13:55What about if we change the name of the pub to the Lady Di for
0:13:55 > 0:13:57the weekend and then like for one day only,
0:13:57 > 0:14:01we do like a fun dog fundraiser thing and charge people to come in.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04It's not going to work.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07The only reason I let Tina do the collection is I don't want
0:14:07 > 0:14:09her moping round here all day.
0:14:09 > 0:14:13- Well, from what I know about you... - Which you don't. - From what I know about you,
0:14:13 > 0:14:16you ain't the kind of person to just give up.
0:14:16 > 0:14:20You keep going till it's sorted. Am I right?
0:14:22 > 0:14:24There's a company that's...
0:14:25 > 0:14:29- ..interested in buying the freehold of this place.- That's great.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31- Mick and Linda won't go for it. - How do you know?
0:14:31 > 0:14:34- You've been ignoring her calls all day.- Because they've worked so hard.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37It's all they've ever wanted was the freehold.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40- Well, I mean, if you ask me... - And I'm not.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45Lady Di means a lot more to them than bricks and mortar.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50And if that's the only way to save her, then what's the problem?
0:15:13 > 0:15:17Are you going to buy that magazine or are you going to stand there reading it all day?
0:15:17 > 0:15:20Sorry, it just had an article I was interested in.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22Oh.
0:15:25 > 0:15:26Look, Carmel,
0:15:27 > 0:15:31it's probably normal to feel a bit funny about...
0:15:31 > 0:15:34- You know.- Oh, I don't.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37Maybe I do.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40Isn't it a good thing that they're in love?
0:15:40 > 0:15:42Isn't it what you'd want for them both?
0:15:44 > 0:15:46I suppose so.
0:15:46 > 0:15:50Perhaps if you spent more time with them, rather than less, I mean...
0:15:50 > 0:15:54- Maybe that would help. - All right, Honey? Have you got any nice boxes of chocolates?
0:15:54 > 0:15:58- Yeah, just there, Max.- Oh, cheers. You all right?- Mm.- You look smart.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00Thanks.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03I've got a meeting at the council later, that shadowing role.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06- You got it?- Mm.- Oh, well done. - Thanks to your help.- Oh, no.
0:16:07 > 0:16:12- You'd probably be good at this. What box would you like someone to buy you?- What, for your girls?
0:16:12 > 0:16:16- That one.- No, going on a date. - Oh. Right. Um...
0:16:18 > 0:16:22- That one, then.- Oh, cool. Cheers.- Yeah.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25- Well, good luck with your meeting. - Thanks.- See you.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35I suppose you're going to say I told you so.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40No, I'm not.
0:16:40 > 0:16:41You tried.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44Yeah, but it ain't good enough, though, is it?
0:16:47 > 0:16:49Sorry.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52What have you got to be sorry about, you soppy cow?
0:16:52 > 0:16:55If I hadn't pushed for such an expensive funeral for Mum,
0:16:55 > 0:16:57we'd be able to afford the operation, wouldn't we?
0:16:57 > 0:16:59Tina,
0:16:59 > 0:17:03you are not to blame for the ceiling falling in.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05Or Babe messing up the business,
0:17:05 > 0:17:08or Lee racking up all those debts that Mick took on.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10Or the bills we aren't able to pay.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16That's why we can't afford the operation.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18It's not because of Mum's funeral.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24What are we going to do, Shirl?
0:17:30 > 0:17:33- Hang on, Jane. Let me give you a hand.- No, I'm fine. I'm fine.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35Oh, come on, don't be daft. Here we go.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37- Oh, thank you.- There we are.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41Steven's been fussing over me all day.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43It's good for me to try to do things on my own.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46I saw you two heading out this morning. Did you go anywhere nice?
0:17:46 > 0:17:49He needed a second opinion on how to cheer up Lauren.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51And he asked you over Ian?!
0:17:52 > 0:17:55- Strange, I know.- Yeah. See you later.
0:17:55 > 0:17:59Oh, Abi. How was your lunch with Lauren?
0:17:59 > 0:18:00Why? What's she said?
0:18:00 > 0:18:04Well, nothing. I just wondered if she seemed any happier.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07Oh, right. Well, you know Lauren. She likes to dwell.
0:18:08 > 0:18:09Abs, who's your new friend?
0:18:09 > 0:18:13Oh, I picked it up for some old lady who can't get to the vet.
0:18:13 > 0:18:14But I'm looking forward to tonight.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17I thought maybe we could meet before, line our stomachs.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20Didn't anyone tell you? Eating's cheating!
0:18:20 > 0:18:22Not if it means you can drink more.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24Spoken like a true pro. I'll see you later.
0:18:25 > 0:18:29Hey, you're cultivating a proper little Mini Me with that one!
0:18:29 > 0:18:32Well, you don't ask to be a role model, Kush, you just are one,
0:18:32 > 0:18:35- you know?- Yeah.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37- Kushy?- Hey.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39- You all right, Mum? Good day?- Yeah.
0:18:39 > 0:18:43I'm just heading off to my meeting at the council and I was
0:18:43 > 0:18:47wondering, well, I was thinking maybe it'd be nice if
0:18:47 > 0:18:53me and you and Denise went to the quiz night at the Vic tomorrow.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55Together.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58I mean, you know, if you want to.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00If you've got any other plans...
0:19:00 > 0:19:03I'll have to check with Denise, but you know what?
0:19:03 > 0:19:05I think that sounds great.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08- You do?- Yeah.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10You do! Brilliant! Yeah.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13- Um, well, I'll see you tomorrow, then.- Yeah.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20Well, I'm sorry but this isn't really the best start for
0:19:20 > 0:19:22a new staff member.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24Well, in fact, it's an enormous headache.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27I'll have to go. Bye-bye.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32It's a bit embarrassing, but I think I'm the person responsible
0:19:32 > 0:19:34for your enormous headache.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37- You're the new assistant?- Afraid so!
0:19:37 > 0:19:40And I can only apologise for being late.
0:19:40 > 0:19:44Our mother always used to say to us to be early is to be on time, to be
0:19:44 > 0:19:49on time is to be late and to be late is unacceptable and I am mortified.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51Yeah, that's fine. What happened?
0:19:51 > 0:19:53I left my Freedom card at home.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56So I went back to get it and of course, being the fool that I
0:19:56 > 0:19:59am, I left my telephone and of course, I couldn't ring you.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01And so I can only apologise once more and say please can we
0:20:01 > 0:20:03get stuck right in?
0:20:03 > 0:20:07I could start by having a go at that corned beef display of yours.
0:20:07 > 0:20:09Somebody made a right hash of that!
0:20:13 > 0:20:17- Ooh!- So? Did Jane and me do good? - Yeah.
0:20:19 > 0:20:20So did Ian, by the looks of it!
0:20:20 > 0:20:23Yeah, well, he does pay attention sometimes.
0:20:23 > 0:20:26It's a good job I bought some bedding plants while we were out.
0:20:26 > 0:20:30Look, I really do appreciate all this, but you didn't need to.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33- I just want you to be happy.- I am.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35- Did you hear from um...?- No.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38No. But you know what?
0:20:38 > 0:20:42- I made a decision and I handed in my notice for my internship.- Oh.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44- Really?- Yeah.
0:20:44 > 0:20:48Abi said it was a stupid idea, but I feel really good about it.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51Babe, if it's what you want, then I'm behind you, a million percent.
0:20:51 > 0:20:57especially as it means we're going to get to spend so much more time together. Starting tonight.
0:20:57 > 0:21:01We're going to make ourselves scarce, so you can enjoy the gifts.
0:21:05 > 0:21:11- Plate of chips, please.- Louise! - Why weren't you at Drama Club?
0:21:11 > 0:21:14Didn't you get my text?
0:21:14 > 0:21:17Mrs Golding gave me detention cos I left my textbooks at home again.
0:21:17 > 0:21:21- Oh, no.- What?
0:21:21 > 0:21:25We saw these on the bus. We didn't realise they were yours.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27Oh, I'm such an idiot!
0:21:27 > 0:21:30So, did they tell you what the drama showcase is going to be?
0:21:30 > 0:21:33There's basically going to be loads of different acts and people
0:21:33 > 0:21:35can pretty much do what they want.
0:21:35 > 0:21:38- Oh, right.- Yeah, it's basically just a talent show.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41- Oh, so maybe I could do something from Grease then.- Maybe.
0:21:41 > 0:21:45They said anyone who misses two rehearsals in a row will be chucked out.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48- So probably best you don't forget your books again, innit? - No, I definitely won't.
0:21:54 > 0:21:57- She still sulking upstairs? - She's stressed. We all are.
0:21:59 > 0:22:00Yeah.
0:22:03 > 0:22:04What? I never said nothing.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09- It's still early yet, you know? - Mm-hm.- Yeah?
0:22:09 > 0:22:14- Turn round for me, will you? - Why?- I want to see which one of my dresses you'd look better in.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17- Something that shows off my natural curves, I hope.- Oh, yeah.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22Here, ladies, can I tempt you with one of our special pie and
0:22:22 > 0:22:26- pint offers we've got going on at the moment?- No, thanks. I'm not mad on offal.
0:22:26 > 0:22:30- Come on, I'll do you both a deal. - I admire your persistence, but no.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33All right, well, tomorrow night, we're doing a ladies' night.
0:22:33 > 0:22:38There's going to be drinks offers, cocktails, entertainment.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41- It's going to be amazing.- What? Isn't it quiz night tomorrow?
0:22:41 > 0:22:43No. You will not want to miss out.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45Oh, sounds good.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47I could do with a proper night out.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50I can't exactly invite Kush and Denise to some low rent
0:22:50 > 0:22:52ladies' night, can I?
0:22:52 > 0:22:55I don't know. They might enjoy it.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58Kush might get up and do a turn for us, if we're lucky.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00That is my son you are talking about.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10DOG WHINES
0:23:11 > 0:23:13Don't look at me like that.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19CONTINUES WHINING
0:23:22 > 0:23:24You all right?
0:23:24 > 0:23:25Hey?
0:23:46 > 0:23:49- You all right, babe?- Yeah.
0:23:50 > 0:23:54Leave that. Leave that, come and sit down. You deserve a rest.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56Come on.
0:23:56 > 0:24:01I reckon we've got an hour or so before everyone gets home.
0:24:06 > 0:24:09I couldn't be more proud of you.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12Making such a big decision like this, you know, for us.
0:24:12 > 0:24:13For us as a family.
0:24:13 > 0:24:16Being able to spend so much more time together,
0:24:16 > 0:24:20it's just going to do us the world of good, especially Louie.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23Um, Steven, look...
0:24:24 > 0:24:26You know, me...
0:24:26 > 0:24:28Me quitting my job...
0:24:29 > 0:24:32You know that I love spending time with you and Louie, obviously,
0:24:34 > 0:24:37but...you also know that I want to focus on my career.
0:24:39 > 0:24:43And me quitting my internship,
0:24:43 > 0:24:47that was so I could focus on getting a better full-time job.
0:24:47 > 0:24:49Right.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51Yeah. Course.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54I'm so lucky to have you.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57I wouldn't be able to do any of this without you.
0:25:05 > 0:25:09Do you think I've given Steven and Lauren enough time to...you know?
0:25:09 > 0:25:12Judging by most men, I think you've been more than generous.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14Stay for another one.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17I'll um... Actually, I'll just nip to the loo.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19- I'll get on the way back.- OK.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24It's really quiet in here.
0:25:24 > 0:25:27Me and you are going to fall out in a minute.
0:25:29 > 0:25:33- How did the date go?- Can you keep a secret?- My lips are sealed.
0:25:33 > 0:25:34I got stood up.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36Oh.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39What did you do with the chocolates?
0:25:39 > 0:25:41Scoffed them.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43- I've been there. - How was your meeting?
0:25:43 > 0:25:46- It was actually really good. - Oh, that's good.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49I'll buy you a drink, if you want. Just let me know when you're around.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51All right.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54- What's all this?- We're celebrating getting our dissertations in.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57- And I said we had a deal on. - Congratulations, all of you!
0:25:57 > 0:26:00A load of students wanting to celebrate?
0:26:00 > 0:26:02- SNIFFS - Ooh, I smell success.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05Who knew Brains would have come through for me?
0:26:05 > 0:26:08How can you all be so happy when we've got so much hanging over us?
0:26:13 > 0:26:15Tina?
0:26:15 > 0:26:17Is she all right?
0:26:17 > 0:26:20Yeah, I think she's just finding the whole situation a bit difficult.
0:26:20 > 0:26:23- I could go and cheer her up, if you want.- Don't be disgusting!
0:26:26 > 0:26:29- You thought any more about...? - Yeah. I have.- And?
0:26:29 > 0:26:33You're right. I'm going to go over and see Linda.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36Try and persuade her to sell the freehold on this place.
