0:00:35 > 0:00:36Mum?
0:00:36 > 0:00:38It's just for a few days.
0:00:39 > 0:00:41Where are you going?
0:00:41 > 0:00:42Er...the coast.
0:00:43 > 0:00:45What, at this time of year?
0:00:45 > 0:00:46Well, a bit of sea air.
0:00:50 > 0:00:51Were you even going to tell me?
0:00:52 > 0:00:53Course I was.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57Ian, I can't stay.
0:00:57 > 0:00:58Give me one good reason.
0:01:01 > 0:01:02Willmott-Brown.
0:01:03 > 0:01:04Ben.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11So, the school's water supply's packed up, then?
0:01:14 > 0:01:18You've got a day off. You look like the world's ended.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28- At last!- What?
0:01:28 > 0:01:30You need to come and talk to Mum.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33I've got work, all right? I'll come later.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35No, you'll come now! This way, come on.
0:01:36 > 0:01:37KIM GROANS
0:01:40 > 0:01:41Hangover?
0:01:42 > 0:01:45Mm-mm. Been sick.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48- Bad hangover. - SHE GROANS
0:01:48 > 0:01:50- Food poisoning.- From what?
0:01:50 > 0:01:54Some of that so-called meal was unfit for human consumption.
0:01:54 > 0:01:55You seemed to enjoy it.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57Yeah, but it was for charity, innit? I was doing my bit.
0:01:57 > 0:01:58You had seconds!
0:01:58 > 0:02:02Exactly my point! You see, I've got a double dose of bacteria!
0:02:03 > 0:02:05No-one poisoned you.
0:02:05 > 0:02:06You want to bet?
0:02:06 > 0:02:09They'd better watch out, you know, cos I'm going to hunt them down.
0:02:09 > 0:02:10SHE EXHALES
0:02:14 > 0:02:15SHE RETCHES
0:02:16 > 0:02:18What's the point in dragging me...
0:02:20 > 0:02:22I don't know what I'm supposed to say to her.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24Well, think of something.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27She's a grown woman, bruv. Can't stop her leaving if she wants.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29We can, all right? And we have to.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32Now, did you see Luke last night?
0:02:34 > 0:02:37- No.- Right, well, tell her that, for starters.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40Cos she has been upstairs, worrying herself stupid, all right?
0:02:40 > 0:02:44She thinks you'd be better off if she disappeared again and let you and Luke go off into the sunset
0:02:44 > 0:02:46when we both know that ain't going to happen, is it, all right?
0:02:46 > 0:02:48So you tell her you want her to stay!
0:02:48 > 0:02:52What if I don't, hm? Maybe I want her to go...
0:02:55 > 0:02:57Mum, he didn't mean that, did you?
0:02:57 > 0:02:58Ben!
0:03:02 > 0:03:03Leave him, Ian.
0:03:07 > 0:03:11"We're determined to save our boozer," said Linda Carter,
0:03:11 > 0:03:14"a former Miss Watford." HE LAUGHS
0:03:14 > 0:03:15Brackets, "runner-up"!
0:03:15 > 0:03:17They really think this is going to work?
0:03:17 > 0:03:19I almost feel sorry for them.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23She wasn't there.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25It's not really Kathy's sort of thing.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27What's this?
0:03:27 > 0:03:28Oh, yeah.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31Well, I thought it was only right that I made a contribution.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33- A grand.- Sophie!
0:03:33 > 0:03:37It was money well spent. Got them eating out of my hand now.
0:03:37 > 0:03:38Your father's daughter!
0:03:40 > 0:03:42I had an interesting chat with young Ben.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45Oh, yeah? Heard it got a bit frisky.
0:03:45 > 0:03:49He's harmless enough, though he does have quite the temper,
0:03:49 > 0:03:51which could prove useful.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01Ben! Oi, Ben! Oi!
0:04:02 > 0:04:05Hope you ain't expecting them to pay for that!
0:04:12 > 0:04:14Oi! You poisoned me!
0:04:14 > 0:04:15I beg your pardon?
0:04:15 > 0:04:16Your nasty pudding.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18That you had five portions of?
0:04:18 > 0:04:20Well, that's how I know that it tasted off.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23- Are you sure you didn't poison anyone yourself?- How do you mean?
0:04:23 > 0:04:25It was your cheap ice cream that kept me up all night!
0:04:25 > 0:04:28Ah! It was your little salmon numbers that kept me up all night, repeating!
0:04:28 > 0:04:31You know, people will be looking for compensation!
0:04:31 > 0:04:33- Oh, go whistle!- Yeah?- Yeah, what?
0:04:35 > 0:04:36Oh!
0:04:36 > 0:04:38KIM COUGHS AND RETCHES
0:04:38 > 0:04:41- Sorry, can I get two teas, mate? - Sure.- Cheers, thanks. Cheers, mate.
0:04:43 > 0:04:48So you, er...choose your mum over a man and then get rid of your mum?
0:04:48 > 0:04:52I mean, you know, what's the point of having both of them if you can have none of them, eh?
0:04:52 > 0:04:54And put dents in someone else's car, yeah?
0:04:54 > 0:04:55It ain't like that.
0:04:56 > 0:04:57So you're upset.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00Wouldn't you be upset?
0:05:00 > 0:05:01Yeah, probably, maybe.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04- So don't lecture me. - I'm not lecturing you,
0:05:04 > 0:05:06but I don't see why you have to make everything so hard, Ben.
0:05:06 > 0:05:07I ain't making it hard.
0:05:09 > 0:05:10So go and talk to her.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15I don't see what's stopping you.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18I said... I said some things.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22OK, well, I'm sure she'll understand.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26Look, if I was you and I had a chance to talk to my mum,
0:05:26 > 0:05:27I wouldn't be sitting here.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39She's put you up to this, hasn't she?
0:05:39 > 0:05:41No, just... The stall was quiet.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47No, yeah, she thinks you might be on drugs.
0:05:48 > 0:05:52She said, if it was about girls, then you'd talk to her about it.
0:05:52 > 0:05:53Yeah, right!
0:05:54 > 0:05:59You, um... You haven't been sending pictures again, have you?
0:06:04 > 0:06:06So what, then?
0:06:06 > 0:06:08Do you ever understand them?
0:06:09 > 0:06:12Er... No. No, not really.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14It doesn't mean I don't try.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16All I ever seem to do is keep messing it up.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18We're talking about Bex here, right?
0:06:20 > 0:06:21I kissed Louise.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23I thought you liked Bex.
0:06:23 > 0:06:24So did I.
0:06:24 > 0:06:25So now you like Louise?
0:06:25 > 0:06:27- No.- No?
0:06:27 > 0:06:30Well, this is... This is very enlightening, bruv.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32I didn't ask you to come here.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34What is going on in that head of yours?
0:06:34 > 0:06:36I don't know.
0:06:36 > 0:06:40So, how come you and Louise, you know...
0:06:41 > 0:06:42We was talking.
0:06:42 > 0:06:43About?
0:06:43 > 0:06:47About Bex liking mature men.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50Ah, OK, I see, so you wanted to make her feel jealous?
0:06:50 > 0:06:52THAT is very mature, bruv.
0:06:52 > 0:06:53- This isn't funny.- I ain't laughing.
0:06:53 > 0:06:57- Yeah, well, you've got no idea, so...- No, of course not. I've got no idea. I know nothing.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59You're the only one who's ever had girl problems.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03- Just leave me alone. - OK, just...just...
0:07:06 > 0:07:09Anything that you are going through,
0:07:09 > 0:07:11I have been there and I have done it...
0:07:13 > 0:07:16..and I have screwed it up like ten times worse, so...
0:07:20 > 0:07:24OK. OK, fine, just if you change your mind...
0:07:26 > 0:07:28She got off with her teacher.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38Ah, you're a grade A gent, Jack, you know that, don't you?
0:07:38 > 0:07:40Can't have this place going down now, can we?
0:07:40 > 0:07:43You'll see every penny back, don't you worry about that!
0:07:43 > 0:07:48Ah! Here he is, look, the hero, look! Here. Bom, apple!
0:07:48 > 0:07:50- Cheers, mate.- Kushty!- Any time.
0:07:50 > 0:07:54- Yeah, I packed off the rest of his stuff today.- What?
0:07:54 > 0:07:56- Gethin.- Oh, gotcha, gotcha.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58Yeah, you won't be seeing him any time soon.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01- It's a shame.- What?
0:08:01 > 0:08:02Well, no, I mean, he was a bit of a plonker,
0:08:02 > 0:08:06but I think all teachers have got a bit of that about them, ain't they?
0:08:06 > 0:08:09Really? Thought you'd be knocking six bells out of him
0:08:09 > 0:08:10after what he did to Bex.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17I don't care what you heard, all right? He didn't mean it.
0:08:17 > 0:08:18My cab's going to be here in a minute.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21It won't. I cancelled it.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23Right, well, then I'll get the Tube.
0:08:23 > 0:08:24Look, just give him some time, OK?
0:08:24 > 0:08:27He's wrapped up in Luke at the moment, but he'll get over it.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29What he won't get over is you walking out again.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31- No, I'm just getting in the way. - No, you're not!
0:08:31 > 0:08:33He don't want me around, Ian.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35- I need to go.- Mum! Well, right, where?
0:08:37 > 0:08:39I told you - the coast.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44And then what? France? Italy?
0:08:44 > 0:08:45South Africa?
0:08:46 > 0:08:48Your family's here.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50Yeah, and you got along without me for years.
0:08:50 > 0:08:54- What, you think so?- I'm going, Ian, all right? Don't...
0:08:54 > 0:08:58All right, all right, all right! Don't do it for him, OK? Do it for me.
0:08:58 > 0:08:59You're doing OK.
0:08:59 > 0:09:03Mum, I need you here, OK? I don't want you to go.
0:09:03 > 0:09:04DOOR OPENS
0:09:04 > 0:09:06You promised us you wouldn't walk out again.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09Well, you did, didn't you?
0:09:11 > 0:09:14So where is he? Just tell me what he did to her!
0:09:14 > 0:09:15It's not what you think!
0:09:15 > 0:09:18Well, I don't know what to think, do I, Sonia, cos you won't tell me nothing?
0:09:18 > 0:09:22- Look, if he has so much as touched her...- Bex had a crush on her music teacher, OK?
0:09:22 > 0:09:24- So why didn't you tell me? - Well, I tried, all right?
0:09:24 > 0:09:26But if you'd answer your phone, you might know!
0:09:26 > 0:09:28Look, I'm sorry. You've had enough on your plate, ain't you?
0:09:28 > 0:09:31Yeah, well, I'm not too busy to protect my daughter from a scumbag!
0:09:31 > 0:09:34- Oh, please, not out here! - So it's true, then?
0:09:34 > 0:09:36And what did the police say?
0:09:36 > 0:09:38- We haven't been.- What? - Well, she didn't want to go.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40Well, you drag her down there, then, don't you?
0:09:40 > 0:09:43He has got a point. I mean, if a teacher's been interfering with her...
0:09:43 > 0:09:44- HE BANGS ON DOOR - Bex?
0:09:44 > 0:09:47- I'm not being funny, but this is private. Do you mind shifting yourself?- Bex!
0:09:47 > 0:09:50- This is a public thoroughfare. I can stand where I like!- Carmel, please!
0:09:50 > 0:09:53I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'll...leave you to it.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55So, what, you protected him, did you? Cos I know you liked him.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57Don't you dare say that to me, all right?
0:09:57 > 0:09:58I'd die for that girl in there!
0:09:58 > 0:10:01But not enough to report a pervert, no?
0:10:01 > 0:10:05Our daughter got herself into a stupid situation, and now it's over.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08Right, you go storming in there now, who knows what she's going to do?
0:10:08 > 0:10:10So what am I supposed to do - nothing?
0:10:10 > 0:10:13Talk to her. Try talking to her, not screaming at her.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15Well, listen, I'm going to have to ring them.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17Dad, please don't!
0:10:17 > 0:10:20Come here. Come here, sweetheart.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23I'm OK. I'm fine.
0:10:30 > 0:10:31Give him time.
0:10:35 > 0:10:36He'll come round.
0:10:36 > 0:10:37Good work, by the way.
0:10:37 > 0:10:41The first few pages need a tweak here and there.
0:10:41 > 0:10:42Sure.
0:10:56 > 0:11:02You tell me stories about Gran, about growing up,
0:11:02 > 0:11:04about you and Pete.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06It's hardly the same, is it?
0:11:06 > 0:11:08I thought we had no more secrets.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11It was before you were born.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14You keep saying that, but that ain't an excuse.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16Well, when I came back, it was like...
0:11:17 > 0:11:19It was all behind me.
0:11:19 > 0:11:20Except it wasn't, was it?
0:11:22 > 0:11:25I was just getting to know you again and...
0:11:25 > 0:11:27Well, I didn't want to go over old ground.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29So you shut me out.
0:11:29 > 0:11:30I wasn't shutting you out.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33Ian knew. Dad knew.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36We were married. Of course your dad knew.
0:11:36 > 0:11:38I'm guessing Sharon knows as well, Michelle.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43But still, you couldn't tell me.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45Look, I never thought I'd see him again.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47I thought it was all in the past.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51It's always secrets, innit, Mum?
0:11:53 > 0:11:54You know, when I think about it,
0:11:54 > 0:11:57I've never had the full story off you, really.
0:12:00 > 0:12:04Now you know everything. There's nothing left to tell.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10I met him last night.
0:12:11 > 0:12:12Who?
0:12:14 > 0:12:15Luke's dad.
0:12:17 > 0:12:18What?
0:12:20 > 0:12:21He...
0:12:24 > 0:12:26He said it wasn't rape.
0:12:29 > 0:12:30He said you made the whole thing up.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45DOOR SLAMS SHUT
0:12:45 > 0:12:48Wow, Linda, is that all from my Billy's crowdfunding idea?
0:12:48 > 0:12:49It's more than double what we had.
0:12:49 > 0:12:54It's brilliant. Shame we didn't raise much from my Safari Supper.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56Every pound's a pound closer, my little darlin'.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59Ah! Just been hearing about your special canapes.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01Everyone's been talking about them.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04And no-one's been talking about anything else?
0:13:04 > 0:13:07Like wanting compensation? Food poisoning?
0:13:07 > 0:13:12- Salmon?- Who's...who's had food poisoning?- No-one.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14I may have felt a bit queasy this morning.
0:13:14 > 0:13:18Oh, yeah, no, but, if you did have food poisoning, you would have felt it earlier on, I think.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21Do you remember that time that I thought I had food poisoning?
0:13:21 > 0:13:23Turns out I was pregnant with Johnny.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25- Me too, with Janet! - THEY GIGGLE
0:13:25 > 0:13:27Well, me and Vincent, we're a bit more careful.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29Well, that's what we thought, didn't we, my darlin', eh?
0:13:29 > 0:13:31- LINDA GIGGLES - Oh, stop it!- Oh-oh-oh!
0:13:31 > 0:13:33Yeah, well, you won't be laughing when
0:13:33 > 0:13:35that lot goes on compensation for food poisoning, innit?
0:13:35 > 0:13:37KIM CHUCKLES
0:13:37 > 0:13:40I thought you just said it was your food.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50So why didn't she say anything? She's my daughter an' all!
0:13:50 > 0:13:52Well, it sounds like Sonia's dealing with it.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54You know what? If anyone touches my kids...
0:13:54 > 0:13:57- I'm going to go and find out where he's gone.- Oh, no, you're not!- Yeah, I am, yeah.
0:13:57 > 0:14:01No, you're not, Martin. You're going to take a deep breath and get back on the stall.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03- On the stall?- Yeah.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06I keep seeing his face. I don't get it, Stacey.
0:14:06 > 0:14:11Look, I'm her old man. I'm supposed to protect her.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13It's my job, I mean... And if I can't do that, what's the point?
0:14:13 > 0:14:16The point is, we love you. Bex loves you.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19Does she? I mean, why didn't she come to me, then?
0:14:19 > 0:14:22Yeah, I'm her dad, and I thought we was in a good place.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24Clearly, she don't trust me.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26Yes, she does, Martin.
0:14:26 > 0:14:30Bex, Lily, Arthur, Hope - they've got the best dad in the world.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33BABY CRIES
0:14:33 > 0:14:36Look, why don't you go round there and see her? Take Hope to meet her big sister.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39And say what? I'm sorry I let you down?
0:14:41 > 0:14:42Sorry I let that scum near you?
0:14:42 > 0:14:45Martin, stop blaming yourself. Let her do the talking.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52- Mum!- Oh, nice, cosy little chat, was it?
0:14:52 > 0:14:55- I never said I believed him! - Oh, that's good of you!
0:14:55 > 0:14:59Do you know? I knew this would happen.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01You've done the same thing I did.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04You let him get inside your head and then he'll start messing with you.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07- No!- Oh, Ben! He is clever.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10He'll have you thinking up is down, day is night.
0:15:10 > 0:15:14He'll even have you believing that it was all in my head.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20When I met him, when we worked there -
0:15:20 > 0:15:23it was The Dagmar then -
0:15:23 > 0:15:25he was the kindest man in the world.
0:15:27 > 0:15:31He was lovely, charming, a good listener,
0:15:31 > 0:15:33the complete opposite of Pete.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37His life didn't revolve around football and fresh veg.
0:15:38 > 0:15:42I thought he was interesting. He knew stuff.
0:15:44 > 0:15:48He could sit and eat his dinner without having the telly on. He was like a breath of fresh air.
0:15:50 > 0:15:51Luke's the same, isn't he?
0:15:54 > 0:15:58The bad stuff - it's hidden. It's all on the inside.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00He says...
0:16:04 > 0:16:05..you and him...
0:16:05 > 0:16:08Yeah, had a relationship. It's what he told everyone.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13In court, he just never accepted it.
0:16:15 > 0:16:19Ben, it wasn't a relationship.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23It wasn't an affair. It wasn't sex.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27It was rape.
0:16:33 > 0:16:34BABY LAUGHS
0:16:35 > 0:16:36She's beautiful.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38She's the spit of you. She is.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43Look at me, eh?
0:16:43 > 0:16:46Sat here with my two amazing daughters. Lucky man.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51Mind you, when she hits double figures, I probably will lock her
0:16:51 > 0:16:56- in her bedroom if she's anything like her bigger sister.- Don't.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58You have to tell me, Bex. If you're in trouble,
0:16:58 > 0:17:00just come and talk to me.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02I love you, no matter what you say or do.
0:17:02 > 0:17:06It wasn't him, Dad. Look, I know...
0:17:06 > 0:17:09I know he should have reported it, but I kissed him.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11Yeah, well, that ain't the point.
0:17:11 > 0:17:12I know, but...
0:17:16 > 0:17:19Look, the right boy will come along one day.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21And when he does,
0:17:21 > 0:17:23I'll probably chase him off with a meat cleaver!
0:17:23 > 0:17:25THEY LAUGH
0:17:27 > 0:17:31We're the lucky ones. Me and her, hm?
0:17:32 > 0:17:34But please don't tell anyone, Dad.
0:17:34 > 0:17:38- I couldn't stand it if anyone found out.- Hey!
0:17:38 > 0:17:39Yeah, she's just through here.
0:17:39 > 0:17:43- All right, but that is for you, not him, OK?- Thank you.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45Right, I'd better get out of here. Back to work.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49- Hey, Louise. You all right? - All right.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51- Is this her?- Yeah.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53Oh, look, I'd better get going. See you later.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58What?
0:17:58 > 0:18:00I didn't mean to tell Shaks about Mr Pryce, honest.
0:18:02 > 0:18:03It was you?
0:18:05 > 0:18:07Of course it was. Of course it was you.
0:18:07 > 0:18:08- Oh, I thought you knew.- No.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11- I thought that's why you weren't picking up.- No.
0:18:11 > 0:18:15- Oh, Bex, it just came out. We were talking...- About me.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18Yeah, but... Because he really likes you.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21Yeah. Yeah, that's exactly what it looked like, Louise.
0:18:23 > 0:18:24I saw you and him in the cafe.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35I never thought I'd feel anything again...
0:18:37 > 0:18:38..after Paul.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42Well, he was a tough act to follow.
0:18:44 > 0:18:45Love of my life.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48You take care now. You have a nice day.
0:18:55 > 0:18:59Do you know? I remember when you first got together with Luke.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02You sat in the caff, smiling from ear to ear,
0:19:02 > 0:19:04worrying whether to text him or not, you know,
0:19:04 > 0:19:06scared he might think that you were too keen.
0:19:06 > 0:19:07I got that wrong!
0:19:10 > 0:19:14Listen, if you love someone, you can't help it.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17The more you fight it, the harder it gets.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23How can I be with Luke after what his dad did?
0:19:24 > 0:19:25- Ben...- No.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31I'm going to tell him...tonight we're over.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35- But you love him.- But you're my mum.
0:19:38 > 0:19:40- You're my mum!- Oh, darlin'.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49Oh, mate? Er... Is Bex OK? Only I've heard...
0:19:49 > 0:19:51You've been talking to your mother, have you?
0:19:51 > 0:19:56What? No. The thing is, it's that teacher of hers.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59It's probably not true, but I thought you should know.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01- I already do, mate.- Oh.
0:20:01 > 0:20:05It's OK. It's something and nothing.
0:20:05 > 0:20:09Oh, OK, good. That's great. Thank God for that.
0:20:09 > 0:20:13So how's the sad, mad world of online dating?
0:20:13 > 0:20:15- 25 nudges already today.- Oh?
0:20:15 > 0:20:20Oh! Listen. A bet is a bet.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23Well, pleasure doing business with you.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25I'm ready to take it to the next level.
0:20:25 > 0:20:26I'm going to arrange to meet one of them.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28Already?
0:20:28 > 0:20:32- You can't leave girls like this waiting, Donna.- Girls like who?
0:20:32 > 0:20:35- PlayMisty.- Here, let's see her! Let's see!
0:20:35 > 0:20:38Well, she hasn't even got a photograph. She could be a minger.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40She's nudged me 17 times.
0:20:40 > 0:20:41She's keen, isn't she?
0:20:41 > 0:20:43- Or she's sat on her phone. - KUSH CHUCKLES
0:20:43 > 0:20:45I thought you'd be happy for me.
0:20:45 > 0:20:46Yeah, we are. We are happy for you, mate.
0:20:46 > 0:20:50I just think that you should get to know her a bit better before you take the plunge, you know?
0:20:50 > 0:20:53It's just a date, Donna! I'll be fine.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57Don?
0:20:58 > 0:20:59Spill!
0:21:03 > 0:21:05Well, there's nothing in here about him.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08About who?
0:21:08 > 0:21:09He seemed such a nice man.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13They always do, don't they?
0:21:13 > 0:21:15KNOCK ON DOOR
0:21:17 > 0:21:20You...PlayMisty?
0:21:20 > 0:21:21My pet gerbil.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24What? Why would you set up a fake profile?
0:21:24 > 0:21:26Everyone does it, Kush!
0:21:26 > 0:21:28Oh, OK, I see now. You like him?
0:21:28 > 0:21:29Robbie? No!
0:21:29 > 0:21:31Are you sure about that? You did nudge him 17 times!
0:21:31 > 0:21:3412 times - he was lying. And I didn't.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37- PlayMisty did.- This is all... This is a bit below the belt, right?
0:21:37 > 0:21:40- I didn't do it as a wind-up. - Why did you do it, then?
0:21:40 > 0:21:43- Because I wanted to win the bet! - OK! Right.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46So you made Robbie think he was Mr Popular,
0:21:46 > 0:21:49just so you could win yourself a pathetic £20, right?
0:21:49 > 0:21:51I didn't know he was going to ask to meet her, did I?
0:21:57 > 0:21:59She thinks we went behind her back!
0:21:59 > 0:22:00- Who does?- How did we?
0:22:00 > 0:22:03- Would someone mind telling me... - She saw us!
0:22:03 > 0:22:05She saw you kissing me!
0:22:05 > 0:22:06- You two are...- No!
0:22:06 > 0:22:08Mum, can you give us a minute, please?
0:22:08 > 0:22:11She came into the caff to find me. She saw you all over me!
0:22:11 > 0:22:13How was I all over you?
0:22:13 > 0:22:16- You fancy HER now? - Can you stay out of this, please?
0:22:16 > 0:22:18I just can't get my head round this.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20She thinks I've betrayed her.
0:22:20 > 0:22:21Shaki, you're better than this.
0:22:23 > 0:22:24Excuse me?
0:22:24 > 0:22:27I mean, he wasn't brought up to go off with any old girl.
0:22:27 > 0:22:28I ain't any old girl!
0:22:28 > 0:22:31- Mum, can you give us a minute, please?- All right. Yeah, yeah.
0:22:34 > 0:22:35You've really done it this time, Shaki!
0:22:39 > 0:22:40Argh!
0:22:42 > 0:22:45And don't pull a stunt like that again.
0:22:45 > 0:22:49I was serious about leaving, Ian. It wasn't a stunt.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51What made you change your mind?
0:22:51 > 0:22:54Well, you two clearly couldn't cope if I wasn't here.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59He says he's going to end it with Luke.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02Look, I told you, didn't I? I knew he'd come round.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04It's got to be good news.
0:23:04 > 0:23:05Is it?
0:23:12 > 0:23:14Where's the other half?
0:23:16 > 0:23:18- Half of...?- Well, there's a page missed off these figures.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21Oh, come on, Luke! Pay attention.
0:23:21 > 0:23:22Sorry, I'll get it.
0:23:24 > 0:23:25What's going on?
0:23:28 > 0:23:29Well, spit it out!
0:23:34 > 0:23:37Ben. I think it's over.
0:23:38 > 0:23:42Nonsense! Bring him round to the house.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45Give him a taste of the good life.
0:23:45 > 0:23:46He'll never want to leave.
0:23:48 > 0:23:53Don't let him get to you. They're good at that...
0:23:53 > 0:23:54the Beales.
0:23:58 > 0:23:59It won't take long.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01I need to be somewhere.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04Luke? Mum told me.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08I'm going to be late if I don't head off now.
0:24:08 > 0:24:09Please!
0:24:10 > 0:24:12Come on, just go, will you?
0:24:15 > 0:24:16Five minutes.
0:24:19 > 0:24:20Come on, Ben.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55SOUND OF COMPUTER GAME
0:24:57 > 0:24:58Show me how this works, then.
0:25:03 > 0:25:08It doesn't get any easier, you know? The whole boy-girl thing.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12I'm just not even going to bother any more, Mum.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14Then you'll miss out on all the fun.
0:25:17 > 0:25:18So where's Max?
0:25:20 > 0:25:22Like I said, don't get any easier.
0:25:25 > 0:25:26You really like her, don't you?
0:25:28 > 0:25:31I just don't want to embarrass myself any more, Mum.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33Just take things slowly and...
0:25:33 > 0:25:35No, she's moved on, Mum.
0:25:36 > 0:25:37No-one really moves on.
0:25:46 > 0:25:47Right.
0:25:49 > 0:25:53Whatever happened in the past, this is not about you and Luke.
0:25:53 > 0:25:57Mum, I'm going to tell him tonight, all right? It's OK.
0:25:57 > 0:25:58Let's not go over this again.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00Will you let her talk?
0:26:04 > 0:26:06He's good for you, Ben.
0:26:06 > 0:26:08And I do not want to stand in the way of that.
0:26:10 > 0:26:14So, what I'm trying to say is don't split up.
0:26:15 > 0:26:20Please, not on my account. I want you to be together.
0:26:23 > 0:26:24Honestly?
0:26:34 > 0:26:36Sorry for everything I said, Mum.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40It's time to put all this behind us, for good.
0:26:43 > 0:26:44Come here.
0:27:03 > 0:27:05Want a lift home?
0:27:05 > 0:27:07Ben wants to meet.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10See? Patience is rewarded.
