MUSIC: "Written In The Stars" by Tinie Tempah ft. Eric Turner | 0:01:21 | 0:01:24 | |
It's important to keep those joints moving. And that's what we're... | 0:01:28 | 0:01:33 | |
Not too much, Maude, be careful! We don't want any accidents. | 0:01:33 | 0:01:37 | |
And shake those arms. Shake those arms. | 0:01:37 | 0:01:42 | |
Shake those arms. Shake them. | 0:01:42 | 0:01:44 | |
Very good, George. Shake those arms. | 0:01:44 | 0:01:47 | |
Shake those arms. Shake those arms. | 0:01:47 | 0:01:50 | |
-SWITCHES OFF MUSIC -Morning, everybody. | 0:01:52 | 0:01:55 | |
Cup of tea? | 0:01:55 | 0:01:57 | |
Now, I couldn't get no fig rolls today | 0:01:57 | 0:01:59 | |
so you'll have to have ginger snaps. | 0:01:59 | 0:02:01 | |
Only the one, mind, cos it's lunch in an hour - | 0:02:01 | 0:02:05 | |
you don't want to spoil your appetite. | 0:02:05 | 0:02:07 | |
Who's next? Who wants it nice and strong? Here we are. | 0:02:07 | 0:02:12 | |
Oh, do you know where I can...? | 0:02:23 | 0:02:25 | |
PHONE RINGS | 0:02:27 | 0:02:31 | |
DOOR OPENS | 0:02:38 | 0:02:40 | |
Dorothy. I had no idea you were coming in today. | 0:02:40 | 0:02:45 | |
-Well, you know me, I like to keep myself busy. -Well, indeed. | 0:02:45 | 0:02:48 | |
Why, it seems every time I turn round you're there, | 0:02:48 | 0:02:51 | |
bustling away, doing something useful. | 0:02:51 | 0:02:55 | |
I'd hate to think we take advantage of your good nature. | 0:02:55 | 0:02:58 | |
Oh, don't worry about it. | 0:02:58 | 0:03:00 | |
I ain't stopped for over 60 years, I ain't likely to start now. | 0:03:00 | 0:03:03 | |
-Oh, I take it you're the new temp? -I'm sorry? | 0:03:11 | 0:03:14 | |
-Well, why aren't you in uniform? -I think there's been a mix-up. | 0:03:14 | 0:03:18 | |
Well, at least you speak English, | 0:03:18 | 0:03:20 | |
which is an improvement on the last two. | 0:03:20 | 0:03:22 | |
-Look, what is your name? -It's Abi. | 0:03:22 | 0:03:24 | |
-She's me granddaughter. -Oh, that explains a lot. | 0:03:25 | 0:03:29 | |
The stories Dorothy's told me. | 0:03:29 | 0:03:32 | |
-Ten minutes, Dorothy, and I want you on lunch duty. -Right. | 0:03:32 | 0:03:36 | |
What is it? | 0:03:44 | 0:03:46 | |
The little girl I knew wouldn't be afraid to speak her mind. | 0:03:46 | 0:03:50 | |
THUNDER RUMBLES | 0:03:51 | 0:03:54 | |
-So...are you courting now? -No-one calls it that any more. | 0:03:58 | 0:04:03 | |
No, more's the pity. I mean, what's happened to romance? | 0:04:03 | 0:04:07 | |
Flowers, dances, conversation. | 0:04:07 | 0:04:11 | |
It's all second-hand now - downloading, texting. | 0:04:11 | 0:04:15 | |
No-one talks to each other any more. | 0:04:15 | 0:04:17 | |
You know, men like your grandfather, | 0:04:17 | 0:04:21 | |
-they're a dying breed. -Do you miss him? | 0:04:21 | 0:04:25 | |
Oh, I get to see him as often as I can. Anyway, that's enough about me. | 0:04:25 | 0:04:28 | |
-What have you been doing? -The usual. | 0:04:28 | 0:04:32 | |
Schoolwork, fighting with Lauren, keeping Oscar out of my room. | 0:04:32 | 0:04:35 | |
DOT CHUCKLES | 0:04:35 | 0:04:37 | |
What about your mother and your father? | 0:04:37 | 0:04:40 | |
I don't want to talk about them. | 0:04:40 | 0:04:41 | |
Dorothy, the tables were supposed to be set ten minutes ago. | 0:04:41 | 0:04:45 | |
Oh, yes, I'm sorry, I'm just coming. | 0:04:45 | 0:04:47 | |
Timetables are there for a reason, Dorothy. | 0:04:47 | 0:04:49 | |
-Are you just going to stand there and take that? -No, Lucinda is right. | 0:04:51 | 0:04:55 | |
You know, it is lunchtime. Just coming. | 0:04:55 | 0:04:58 | |
See, I was meaning to come and visit at Christmas. | 0:05:07 | 0:05:12 | |
So, why didn't you? | 0:05:12 | 0:05:14 | |
Dotty, she had me running all over the place. You know, shopping. | 0:05:14 | 0:05:19 | |
For Christmas and for clothes. | 0:05:19 | 0:05:21 | |
-Here, look, she made me buy these 'ere trousers. -Oooh! | 0:05:21 | 0:05:27 | |
Yeah, I'd never worn them before. | 0:05:27 | 0:05:30 | |
And then we had to go ice skating. | 0:05:30 | 0:05:33 | |
And she wanted me to go with her to have her ears pierced. | 0:05:33 | 0:05:37 | |
Well, you know I don't approve | 0:05:37 | 0:05:38 | |
of young girls having their ears pierced. | 0:05:38 | 0:05:41 | |
And when we got there, she persuaded me to have mine done. | 0:05:41 | 0:05:45 | |
-She calls me her glam gran. What do you think? -Ooh. | 0:05:47 | 0:05:50 | |
Yeah, you look great. | 0:05:50 | 0:05:52 | |
And, of course, I had to do the flowers for Advent | 0:05:52 | 0:05:56 | |
cos I promised the Rev Ms Tompkins. | 0:05:56 | 0:05:59 | |
Fancy, a lady vicar! The less said about that, the better. | 0:06:01 | 0:06:04 | |
But she is a very nice woman. | 0:06:04 | 0:06:07 | |
So, you see, time just ran away from me. | 0:06:07 | 0:06:11 | |
But Walford's your home. | 0:06:11 | 0:06:13 | |
-No, not any more it ain't. -Why do you say that? | 0:06:13 | 0:06:16 | |
Well, it ain't the same, you see. It's not like the old days. | 0:06:16 | 0:06:19 | |
People are rushing around, you know, ain't got time for you. | 0:06:19 | 0:06:24 | |
They're all on their gadgets. | 0:06:24 | 0:06:27 | |
Nobody listens no more. | 0:06:27 | 0:06:29 | |
I listen. | 0:06:31 | 0:06:32 | |
DOT CHUCKLES | 0:06:32 | 0:06:35 | |
Well, that's cos you're a nice girl, Abi. | 0:06:35 | 0:06:37 | |
-You want to see the state of the launderette. -What? | 0:06:42 | 0:06:44 | |
-Yeah, your shoes stick to the floor when you go in there. -Oh, no. | 0:06:44 | 0:06:48 | |
-Yeah, and it smells funny. -Oh, dear. Pauline would turn in her grave. | 0:06:48 | 0:06:52 | |
Yeah, and there's rubbish everywhere. | 0:06:52 | 0:06:54 | |
I mean, we didn't even have a carol concert this year - | 0:06:54 | 0:06:57 | |
no-one was there to organise it. | 0:06:57 | 0:06:59 | |
Oh, that reminds me, got a sing-along here this afternoon. | 0:06:59 | 0:07:03 | |
That's one of my initiatives. | 0:07:03 | 0:07:05 | |
Is this about Heather? | 0:07:06 | 0:07:08 | |
You know, I can't for the life of me remember | 0:07:10 | 0:07:12 | |
where I put the carol sheets. | 0:07:12 | 0:07:14 | |
Grandma Dot! | 0:07:14 | 0:07:15 | |
No. It's not only about Heather. | 0:07:17 | 0:07:20 | |
It's about Bradley and Dennis laying there | 0:07:20 | 0:07:23 | |
outside the Vic on the pavement. | 0:07:23 | 0:07:26 | |
It's my Ashley outside the launderette, | 0:07:26 | 0:07:28 | |
Pauline laying in the gardens. | 0:07:28 | 0:07:30 | |
It's ghosts. Everywhere I look, I see ghosts. | 0:07:30 | 0:07:36 | |
Used to be a happy place. | 0:07:36 | 0:07:39 | |
I used to be glad to call it home. | 0:07:39 | 0:07:42 | |
It can be again. | 0:07:42 | 0:07:44 | |
No. | 0:07:44 | 0:07:45 | |
No, Abi, I ain't got the fight left in me no more. | 0:07:45 | 0:07:49 | |
You know, I'm getting on. | 0:07:49 | 0:07:51 | |
I just want to spend me last few years in peace. | 0:07:51 | 0:07:55 | |
I can hardly believe you're the same little girl | 0:08:12 | 0:08:15 | |
what used to come and feed me budgies for me. | 0:08:15 | 0:08:18 | |
-Sometimes I wish I could be ten again. -Oh, so do I. | 0:08:19 | 0:08:23 | |
But you're a beautiful young woman. | 0:08:25 | 0:08:27 | |
I mean, you've got the whole world at your feet. | 0:08:27 | 0:08:30 | |
You can do anything what you put your mind to. | 0:08:30 | 0:08:34 | |
-Come on. You ready? -Mm-hm. | 0:08:35 | 0:08:38 | |
Off we go. | 0:08:38 | 0:08:40 | |
-Right, ready? -Yeah. One, two, three. | 0:08:40 | 0:08:45 | |
Up she goes! | 0:08:45 | 0:08:47 | |
-Are you still here? -I was just leaving. | 0:08:49 | 0:08:52 | |
Would you mind giving the tea urn a bit of a blitz this afternoon? | 0:08:53 | 0:08:57 | |
We all know what a marvel you are with the scouring pad. | 0:08:57 | 0:09:00 | |
No, I won't. | 0:09:00 | 0:09:02 | |
-I'm sorry? -You can scour your own tea urn. | 0:09:02 | 0:09:05 | |
And I'll tell you something, Lucinda Blake, | 0:09:05 | 0:09:08 | |
I am Dorothy Branning | 0:09:08 | 0:09:10 | |
and I am senior manager of a well-regarded laundry service | 0:09:10 | 0:09:13 | |
in the East End of London and I don't take orders from no-one. | 0:09:13 | 0:09:17 | |
Except perhaps Mr Oppodopolus. | 0:09:17 | 0:09:19 | |
And I am not taking orders | 0:09:19 | 0:09:22 | |
from a jumped-up, bossy creature like yourself. | 0:09:22 | 0:09:25 | |
You tell her, Dot. | 0:09:25 | 0:09:26 | |
Thank you. | 0:09:26 | 0:09:28 | |
Well... | 0:09:28 | 0:09:29 | |
LUCINDA SPLUTTERS | 0:09:29 | 0:09:31 | |
Now I see where I get it from. | 0:09:34 | 0:09:37 | |
Oh! | 0:09:37 | 0:09:39 | |
-DOT LAUGHS -Abi. | 0:09:39 | 0:09:42 | |
Here you go. I almost forgot. | 0:09:47 | 0:09:51 | |
What is it? | 0:09:51 | 0:09:53 | |
A Christmas present? Oh. | 0:09:53 | 0:09:55 | |
Thank you, Abi. | 0:09:55 | 0:09:57 | |
-You will come and see me again soon, won't you? -I promise. | 0:09:58 | 0:10:02 | |
It ain't been a wasted journey for you, has it? | 0:10:02 | 0:10:05 | |
Dotty needs you here, I understand that. | 0:10:06 | 0:10:08 | |
-It's not fair we get to keep you all to ourselves. -Oh, Abi. | 0:10:08 | 0:10:13 | |
Go on. Off you go. | 0:10:15 | 0:10:19 | |
Abi? | 0:10:21 | 0:10:22 | |
You tell that grandma of yours | 0:10:25 | 0:10:28 | |
to open me windows twice a week | 0:10:28 | 0:10:31 | |
cos...er... | 0:10:31 | 0:10:33 | |
me house needs airing. | 0:10:33 | 0:10:34 | |
