0:08:09 > 0:08:11No, it isn't.

0:08:11 > 0:08:14But I just wondered what it would take to get you to turn round.

0:12:15 > 0:12:20We nearly died in there. Doesn't that make you think?

0:12:20 > 0:12:25Dead right. It makes me think we should hold on to what's important.

0:12:25 > 0:12:27And he isn't important.

0:12:27 > 0:12:29Hey, mate... that woman you brought out,

0:14:28 > 0:14:30I know I did.

0:14:55 > 0:14:59- TV:- 'We've just received these pictures of central Manchester.'

0:14:59 > 0:15:02- REPORTER:- 'A massive explosion can clearly be seen.'

0:15:02 > 0:15:06- TV:- 'What I can tell you is that, from about a quarter past ten this morning,

0:15:06 > 0:15:09- 'police were cordoning off a...' - Adopted, by the way.

0:15:09 > 0:15:11When I was about five.

0:15:11 > 0:15:14I knew it was somewhere this way and, er...

0:15:14 > 0:15:17Well, it started coming back to me, driving you back.

0:15:17 > 0:15:19Oh, right.

0:15:19 > 0:15:22Thank goodness for that, I thought you were going X-Files on me.

0:15:39 > 0:15:42HE SIGHS Thank you, by the way, for...

0:15:42 > 0:15:46- I never said thank you.- No, don't, please. You don't have to.

0:15:46 > 0:15:48Who were them fellers you were with?

0:15:48 > 0:15:51It was me family. Me dad and me brother.

0:15:51 > 0:15:53Don't look like you.

0:15:53 > 0:15:55Well, there's a reason for that.

0:15:55 > 0:15:57Oh, yeah, right, sorry. Adopted, you said.

0:15:57 > 0:15:59THEY LAUGH

0:16:02 > 0:16:06What did you think about...when that ceiling came down on us?

0:16:06 > 0:16:10My boys. Did they have their keys with them?

0:16:10 > 0:16:11Could they break in, if they didn't?

0:16:11 > 0:16:14Would I be late for me other job? What about you?

0:16:14 > 0:16:18That I didn't want to come round and find John Major by the side of me bed.

0:16:18 > 0:16:21THEY LAUGH Well, I wouldn't have minded that.

0:16:21 > 0:16:24No matter how bad I looked, I know I'd have looked healthier than him.

0:16:26 > 0:16:29I felt sort of surprised, too. You know? I thought...

0:16:29 > 0:16:33"Oh, so this is how it ends."

0:16:33 > 0:16:36You know?

0:16:36 > 0:16:39Do you want a top up or will your wife be wondering where you got to?

0:16:42 > 0:16:43I'm not married.

0:16:46 > 0:16:48It's a long story and...

0:16:48 > 0:16:50you really don't want to hear it.

0:16:50 > 0:16:53Don't worry, I wasn't asking to hear it.

0:17:23 > 0:17:26- She lived over Flixton way. - Oh.- Got stuck on the M62.

0:17:26 > 0:17:28I thought you might have aftershock or something.

0:17:28 > 0:17:32- No, that's like earthquakes, innit? - Are you sure you're all right?- Yeah.

0:17:32 > 0:17:35- Aye, aye.- Ah, you made it, then.

0:17:35 > 0:17:37Just in time for kick off.

0:17:37 > 0:17:38- Look at this. TV:- 'One pregnant woman

0:17:38 > 0:17:40'was blown off her feet by the blast.'

0:17:40 > 0:17:45You know what we should do, we should go to Old Trafford tomorrow for the Germany/Russia game.

0:17:45 > 0:17:48Show the paddies we're not afraid.

0:17:48 > 0:17:53No Irish Republican is going to want to bomb Old Trafford, Dad. It's a Catholic club.

0:17:53 > 0:17:58- So, what's City?- Buddhist. All suffering leads to enlightenment.

0:17:58 > 0:18:00THEY LAUGH

0:18:02 > 0:18:06'Well, here we go into the second half, then. It's 0-0, England against Scotland.

0:18:16 > 0:18:18SAMUEL LAUGHS

0:18:18 > 0:18:22They're never very good in the heat, are they, the Jocks?

0:18:22 > 0:18:26Having a brush with death like that, it brings things home to you -

0:18:26 > 0:18:28not letting the moment pass and all that.

0:18:28 > 0:18:30You really want to make that bomb an excuse

0:18:30 > 0:18:34for a begging letter on your brother's behalf?

0:18:34 > 0:18:38- It's not a begging letter. - He'll never change. Simple as that.

0:18:38 > 0:18:43Would it be so hard for the three of us

0:18:43 > 0:18:48just to be sitting here watching the game, having a beer and not raking over the past?

0:18:48 > 0:18:52- I don't want him back in my life. - He's your family. He's in your life, whether you want him or not.

0:18:52 > 0:18:55- You can't just pick and choose. - Why not? I picked you, didn't I?

0:18:55 > 0:18:59- Bought me, more like.- "Bought me"?!

0:18:59 > 0:19:04Well, that's lovely. Put that on my Fathers' Day card.

0:19:06 > 0:19:09You're getting to sound like the other one.

0:19:09 > 0:19:11The other one?!

0:19:11 > 0:19:14That's my brother, your son.

0:19:14 > 0:19:19- His name is Robbo!- His name is shit!

0:19:19 > 0:19:23Yeah? And whose fault is that? You brought him up, you crippled him, like you crippled me

0:19:23 > 0:19:29and the only difference between you and the other one is, at least he knows he's fucked.

0:19:29 > 0:19:31'Let the celebrations begin! Gazza makes it 2-0 to England!'

0:19:31 > 0:19:34Dad? Dad? Dad! Dad!

0:19:34 > 0:19:36Dad?! Dad?!

0:19:36 > 0:19:40Claire! Claire! Claire!

0:19:40 > 0:19:43- Yeah?- It's Dad!

0:19:43 > 0:19:44He just went over.

0:19:44 > 0:19:48- Samuel? Samuel?- Come on, Dad! - I'll ring for an ambulance.

0:19:48 > 0:19:51Dad! Come on, Dad!

0:19:55 > 0:19:57Mum?

0:19:57 > 0:20:01- Hi.- Oh, sweetheart. Thanks for coming.

0:20:01 > 0:20:04- Hi.- Are you OK?- Yeah.

0:23:41 > 0:23:44Why would you borrow 30 grand off drug dealers?

0:23:44 > 0:23:46I got in a bit of a mess.

0:23:46 > 0:23:51Right. I owed the brewery. I owed on the lease.

0:23:51 > 0:23:54I owed security on the door. I owed business rates.

0:23:54 > 0:23:57And, to be fair, the drug dealers

0:23:57 > 0:24:01- have proved a more reliable source of liquidity than you.- Oh, really?

0:24:01 > 0:24:04- Hmm.- So, what happened to the ten grand I gave you last month?

0:24:04 > 0:24:06Where did that go?

0:24:19 > 0:24:21It's real, all right.

0:24:21 > 0:24:24Scotland done, yeah?

0:24:24 > 0:24:27England just need to win their next four matches.

0:24:27 > 0:24:31450 grand...and change.

0:24:32 > 0:24:35I think that might be just enough to turn things around?

0:24:37 > 0:24:39Sorry, you bet ten...

0:24:39 > 0:24:44ten grand that England aren't going to mess up in a major tournament?

0:24:46 > 0:24:48Why would anyone do that?!

0:24:48 > 0:24:50It's that bomb.

0:24:51 > 0:24:54See, one inch either side of that pillar and I'd be dead.

0:24:55 > 0:24:58But I walked out of there, nothing heavier than plaster dust on me.

0:24:58 > 0:25:00And, I tell you, I knew then

0:25:00 > 0:25:03that bomb was the start of my lucky streak.

0:25:04 > 0:25:07The bomb? The bomb made you to do it.

0:27:00 > 0:27:01I'm off to the shops.

0:27:01 > 0:27:03Don't be long.

0:27:05 > 0:27:09Listen, I, erm... I just wanted to explain,

0:27:09 > 0:27:13I don't know if you thought I was being a bit weird or what yesterday.

0:27:13 > 0:27:17We were all being weird yesterday. We nearly got blown to smithereens.

0:27:17 > 0:27:21It just freaked me out. You know, the bomb, finding you...

0:27:21 > 0:27:24and then coming back here after all that time.

0:27:24 > 0:27:26You got a long way away from here.

0:27:26 > 0:27:28Yeah, sometimes I think maybe a bit too far.

0:27:28 > 0:27:33SHE LAUGHS There's no such thing as too far away from here.

0:27:33 > 0:27:38Good place to come from... shit place to stay.

0:27:38 > 0:27:40Sounds like a country and western song.

0:27:40 > 0:27:43My whole life sounds like a country and western song.

0:27:43 > 0:27:46And how are you?

0:27:46 > 0:27:48Yeah.

0:27:48 > 0:27:51I don't know. I mean...

0:27:51 > 0:27:54I, sort of, feel like I've been picked for something.

0:27:54 > 0:27:57But, er...I don't know what it is yet.

0:27:58 > 0:28:00Do you know what I mean?

0:28:00 > 0:28:02Not really.

0:28:02 > 0:28:04HE LAUGHS

0:28:04 > 0:28:07OK.

0:28:07 > 0:28:11- All right?- This is Daniel. It was him that helped me out yesterday.

0:28:11 > 0:28:13Thanks, mate. Nice one.

0:28:13 > 0:28:15Yeah.

0:28:15 > 0:28:19Anyway, er...I'll see you around.

0:28:19 > 0:28:22What is it you do?

0:28:22 > 0:28:25- What?- For work? What do you do?

0:28:25 > 0:28:30Oh, er... it's too boring to tell you.

0:28:30 > 0:28:32More boring than cleaning?

0:28:32 > 0:28:35It IS cleaning.

0:28:35 > 0:28:37Yeah, industrial.

0:28:37 > 0:28:42You know, factories on... Close down or after they've been built.

0:28:42 > 0:28:44That sort of thing. Yeah.

0:28:44 > 0:28:47You must be very good at it, car like that.

0:28:47 > 0:28:49- Haven't you heard of easy credit? - SHE LAUGHS

0:28:49 > 0:28:52I don't trust easy credit.

0:28:52 > 0:28:55That's why I've got two jobs and a sofa from a skip.

0:28:55 > 0:28:58And not much time for anything else.

0:28:58 > 0:29:00What made you think I was after anything else?

0:29:00 > 0:29:04You keep looking at me as if you want to say something and then stop yourself.

0:29:04 > 0:29:07In my experience, that can mean one of two things,

0:29:07 > 0:29:10you're going to ask me out or you're going to chuck me.

0:29:10 > 0:29:13No, it's neither.

0:29:13 > 0:29:15I'm a mouth breather.

0:29:15 > 0:29:18It's the curse of the windswept Manc.

0:29:18 > 0:29:20Right.

0:29:53 > 0:29:55Hey, look what the cat dragged in.

0:29:55 > 0:29:58Charlie came up from London as soon as he heard.

0:29:58 > 0:30:01- That was nice of him. Nice to see you, Son.- Hiya, Dad.

0:30:01 > 0:30:04Nice to see you're in one piece. This is Matilda.

0:30:04 > 0:30:07- Hello, love.- Hi. - Pleased to meet you.- And you.

0:30:07 > 0:30:10- How are you feeling, Dad? - Never better.

0:30:10 > 0:30:14- It's great to see you sitting up. - Yeah.- I thought, erm...

0:30:14 > 0:30:17- Well, you know, for a minute, I thought...- Yeah, well...

0:30:17 > 0:30:21the IRA tried to kill me in the morning and you tried to kill me in the afternoon.

0:30:21 > 0:30:26- Sam!- Yeah, but don't worry, I'd feel like shit if I was in your shoes, but we move on.

0:30:26 > 0:30:29Get Charlie to tell you what he just told me. This is genius. You'll love it.

0:30:29 > 0:30:32- I'm sure you don't want to hear it again.- Of course I do, love.

0:30:32 > 0:30:35I can look at you while he's telling 'em.

0:30:35 > 0:30:39Feel free to sue my father for sexual harassment at any stage.

0:30:39 > 0:30:42I was just telling Grandad about PFI.

0:30:42 > 0:30:44- I thought it was the IRA claimed responsibility?- Oh, for God's sake!

0:30:44 > 0:30:47Just listen, will you? SAMUEL CHUCKLES

0:30:47 > 0:30:51Here's the thing. They get this private finance whatsit?

0:30:51 > 0:30:57- And that's how Manchester is going to get rebuilt at no cost to the taxpayer.- I doubt that.

0:30:57 > 0:30:59Oh, there you are, you see. What did I tell you?

0:30:59 > 0:31:04- He'd have a downer on it. I told you, didn't I?- Are we going to argue about this now or, erm...?- No, we're not.

0:31:04 > 0:31:08- You're supposed to be resting. - Right.

0:31:08 > 0:31:11- Claire, we listen to.- Oh, right. OK.

0:31:12 > 0:31:14Hello! There he is!

0:31:14 > 0:31:17Hello, you two! What a sight for sore eyes!

0:31:17 > 0:31:20- Hello.- Hello, Grandad. How are you feeling?

0:31:20 > 0:31:23- Feeling very bored, actually. - Oh.- Anyway...

0:31:23 > 0:31:25How's life with Tony and Gordon?

0:31:25 > 0:31:29You! Oh, hello, you must be Matilda. I'm Louise.

0:31:29 > 0:31:32- That's Peter, my husband. - Hi.- Why did you bring the kids?

0:31:32 > 0:31:35Is this a lefty's idea of Disneyland?

0:31:35 > 0:31:39He used to make a lot of Airfix models as a child. I blame the glue.

0:31:39 > 0:31:42Hey, don't start, you two, you'll scare the other patients.

0:31:44 > 0:31:47- There we are. - Are you all right, love?

0:31:47 > 0:31:50- Yeah, it's just, erm...- Come on.

0:31:53 > 0:31:56- I'll see you at home, yeah? - Sure. Of course.

0:31:56 > 0:31:59And what's your name. How old are you?

0:32:01 > 0:32:03If our Louise had said that canvassing meant folding,

0:32:03 > 0:32:05I'd have thought twice.

0:32:14 > 0:32:16What you worrying about?

0:32:17 > 0:32:19The Holland match.

0:32:21 > 0:32:23It's only football.

0:32:25 > 0:32:28That doesn't...really help.

0:32:32 > 0:32:36You see them? It's just a matter of breaking 'em up into individual sweets.

0:32:36 > 0:32:43- Stop. Here, try one.- No, thanks. - Go on!- You know you want to!- Fine.

0:32:43 > 0:32:47With a figure like yours, a sweet's not going to do you any harm.

0:32:49 > 0:32:51Guilty pleasures are always the best, Samuel.

0:32:51 > 0:32:55- Oh.- Quite right. - SHE LAUGHS

0:32:55 > 0:32:58You understand human weakness, you understand the sweet industry.

0:32:58 > 0:33:00That's all there is to it.

0:33:00 > 0:33:03You don't win Budget Sherbet-Based Brand of the Year

0:33:03 > 0:33:07for ten years on the bounce without knowing a thing or two about human nature.

0:33:07 > 0:33:11What are you doing out of hospital? They let you leave?

0:33:11 > 0:33:15- No, I checked meself out. Have you ever tried to sleep in hospital?- Oh!

0:33:15 > 0:33:17I'd have died of exhaustion in there.

0:33:17 > 0:33:19You shouldn't be here. You should be at home resting.

0:33:19 > 0:33:22Yeah, well, I'm just doing the tour and then I'll go home.

0:33:22 > 0:33:26Matilda here is actually very interested in sweet manufacture.

0:33:26 > 0:33:30Hmm. I did my post-grad thesis on British manufacturing industry so...

0:33:30 > 0:33:33You see, beauty and brains. THEY LAUGH

0:33:33 > 0:33:37- Grandad, you all right?- Yeah! Hmm.

0:33:37 > 0:33:39- Actually, I think I'm cured.- Oh.

0:33:39 > 0:33:41THEY LAUGH

0:33:43 > 0:33:44DOORBELL

0:33:44 > 0:33:48Hiya. Please, don't close the door. I'm on a scheme for the unemployed

0:33:48 > 0:33:52- and I am just wondering if you'd be interested in buying any cleaning products today.- No, thanks.

0:33:52 > 0:33:56Dishcloths. Chamois leathers. All handmade by mentals.

0:33:56 > 0:33:58I don't buy from the door. Sorry.

0:33:58 > 0:34:00Say hello to Daniel for me.

0:34:01 > 0:34:03What?

0:34:03 > 0:34:06- How do you know Daniel? - Everybody knows Daniel.

0:34:06 > 0:34:08He's a mate of Robbo's from the club, in't he?

0:34:08 > 0:34:11Erm...just hang on.

0:34:13 > 0:34:17Take...this for your trouble.

0:34:18 > 0:34:21Thanks. Very righteous of you.

0:34:34 > 0:34:38- So what, he just said he knew me? - Yeah.- What did he look like?

0:34:39 > 0:34:41Like a rat in an anorak.

0:34:41 > 0:34:44- Ring any bells?- No, not really.

0:34:44 > 0:34:47Ella's fast asleep.

0:34:47 > 0:34:50Oh, well done, Peter. Here, get yourself a beer.

0:34:50 > 0:34:54Oh, Samuel, do you want mayonnaise on your chicken sandwich?

0:34:54 > 0:34:59No. No mayonnaise, no salt, no pleasure. DOORBELL

0:34:59 > 0:35:03All I've got to look forward to is hummus and death.

0:35:03 > 0:35:06- Hey, we've got a lot riding on this match.- Nice to see you.

0:35:06 > 0:35:09- Look at this! All the family together. I love it!- Charlie!

0:35:09 > 0:35:12A member of my tribe who really appreciates me.

0:35:12 > 0:35:16Come and sit next to me, the pair of you. I want someone I can talk some sense with.

0:35:16 > 0:35:20- Matilda, do you want a drink? - A glass of white wine, please. Thank you.

0:35:20 > 0:35:22Can I get a beer, Mum?

0:35:22 > 0:35:27- TV:- 'The Dutch have won the toss, so De Boer and Bergkamp will kick off.'

0:35:27 > 0:35:29- Thank you. - So, how did you meet my brother?

0:35:29 > 0:35:34Oh, I was an intern in his department and it was raining one day and he lent me his umbrella. Didn't ya?

0:35:34 > 0:35:37Oh, that sounds dangerously left wing of him.

0:35:37 > 0:35:39Well, it was raining very heavily.

0:35:39 > 0:35:43- Overpaid rubbish. Everyone of them. - SAMUEL: Yeah, I agree.

0:35:43 > 0:35:46I tell you who's overpaid - you and your bloody public schoolboy mates.

0:35:46 > 0:35:49- Running round waving money at each other.- England prepared for the tournament

0:35:49 > 0:35:52by getting drunk on tequila. What sort of an example's that?

0:35:52 > 0:35:56I don't look to Teddy Sheringham and Gazza to give me moral guidance, I look to them to play football.

0:35:56 > 0:36:00- So, off the pitch anything goes? Murder? Armed robbery?- Get a grip, Charlie!

0:36:00 > 0:36:04- "Britain won three gold medals today in the Paedophile Olympics." - Will you just shut up?!

0:36:04 > 0:36:08The lot of ya! Can we just watch the match?!

0:36:11 > 0:36:14HE SIGHS TV PLAYS

0:36:27 > 0:36:29You all right?

0:36:29 > 0:36:34It's just the usual crap. Dad playing me off against someone.

0:36:35 > 0:36:40Always making me feel like I have to live up to something, but never telling me what it is.

0:36:40 > 0:36:42Oh, you nearly lost him!

0:36:42 > 0:36:46So, if you have to back down from the odd fight...

0:36:46 > 0:36:49Have you ever wanted to be anybody else? Somebody else.

0:36:49 > 0:36:53SHE LAUGHS Well, don't take this personally,

0:36:53 > 0:36:57but...I wouldn't mind being Mrs Sean Penn for the day.

0:36:57 > 0:36:59No strings either side.

0:37:02 > 0:37:06No, you know, somebody new. Somebody...more exciting.

0:37:06 > 0:37:08- SAMUEL:- Hey, come on, teams are out!

0:37:08 > 0:37:11- Somebody better. - Come on, second half's kicking off!

0:37:15 > 0:37:17Come on.

0:37:21 > 0:37:24- TV:- 'England will book a place in the quarterfinals.'

0:37:24 > 0:37:27- Come on, lads. Come on, lads. Gazza!- 'Gascoigne...'

0:37:27 > 0:37:29Go on, my son! This is more like it!

0:37:29 > 0:37:33- You wanted to imprison him ten minutes ago.- That was before he earned my trust.

0:37:33 > 0:37:37- 'And Shearer. Yes! Shearer!' - Yes! Yes!

0:37:37 > 0:37:38- Brilliant!- Yes!

0:37:38 > 0:37:41'And that surely will clinch the place on top of the group...'

0:37:41 > 0:37:42Yes! Shearer, you beauty!

0:37:42 > 0:37:45Oh, God! Yes!

0:37:45 > 0:37:48Yehay! Oh, God! Yes!

0:37:48 > 0:37:50CLAIRE LAUGHS

0:37:50 > 0:37:53Did you see that? Oh! Three!

0:37:53 > 0:37:57That's it. Definitely. Oh! Shearer!

0:38:02 > 0:38:07'To beat Holland in such a convincing manner is a testament to the quality of this England squad.

0:38:07 > 0:38:11'Who knows now just how far this team can go.'

0:38:11 > 0:38:14All the fucking way, please, Motty!

0:38:14 > 0:38:17'..And the next test is Spain. This afternoon at Wembley three o'clock.'

0:38:17 > 0:38:21Don't tell me, you're half Spanish on your grandma's side.

0:38:21 > 0:38:23Well, she has got a moustache, come to think of it.

0:38:23 > 0:38:27Hey, your dad's not wasted any time getting back in the saddle, has he?

0:38:27 > 0:38:30- How do you mean?- He's in the office?

0:38:30 > 0:38:33What, he's in again?! It's Saturday morning, he should be resting up.

0:38:33 > 0:38:35Ah, but he's got your Charlie looking after him.

0:38:35 > 0:38:37Charlie's here, too? Oh, brilliant!

0:38:39 > 0:38:41- WOMAN:- Morning, Daniel.- Morning.

0:38:45 > 0:38:49- Hello.- I thought the doctor said you needed to rest.

0:38:49 > 0:38:53Listening to our Charlie is the best medicine I could have.

0:38:53 > 0:38:54He's got a head full of ideas.

0:38:54 > 0:38:58Has he now? And I thought you were here visiting your grandad.

0:38:58 > 0:39:03- Aren't we a bit small fry for you? - Well, if I can do something for the family while I'm here.

0:39:03 > 0:39:06You're not in great shape, but the place is ripe for private equity.

0:39:06 > 0:39:08Well, there's a sentence to love.

0:39:08 > 0:39:11The investors raise capital on the back of the brand,

0:39:11 > 0:39:14then the investment reboots the company while you, me and Grandad

0:39:14 > 0:39:16stay on the board with a majority stake.

0:39:17 > 0:39:21So, the investors aren't really investing their own money, are they?

0:39:21 > 0:39:25Ah, you see, Charlie, that's what he lacks...vision.

0:39:25 > 0:39:30The money they invest is raised on the expectation of increased market share.

0:39:30 > 0:39:33Which is going to come from where? You just said we were in bad shape.

0:39:33 > 0:39:38China, India, the old Eastern bloc. What comes with affluence?

0:39:38 > 0:39:42A sweet tooth. 1.2 billion Chinamen, one billion Indians,

0:39:42 > 0:39:44Croatians, Poles.

0:39:44 > 0:39:47- That's a lot of penny chews. - You should listen to the lad!

0:39:47 > 0:39:50And you should be at home in bed!

0:39:51 > 0:39:54- Where are you going now? - Anywhere but here!

0:39:57 > 0:39:59HE SIGHS

0:40:04 > 0:40:06Is that blue in the sky?

0:40:06 > 0:40:09No, it's a tinted windscreen.

0:40:09 > 0:40:11SHE LAUGHS

0:40:18 > 0:40:21Did you ever contact your real mum and dad?

0:40:21 > 0:40:23No.

0:40:23 > 0:40:25Never wanted to.

0:40:25 > 0:40:28She gave me up when I was five.

0:40:28 > 0:40:30Why would I want to?

0:40:32 > 0:40:34Hmm. At least it's not raining.

0:40:36 > 0:40:39"At least it's not raining".

0:40:39 > 0:40:41I don't think that's quite the catch phrase

0:40:41 > 0:40:43that Southport Tourist Board are looking for.

0:40:45 > 0:40:49Don't worry, I don't like holidays anyway, they remind me of death.

0:40:49 > 0:40:52Though, in fairness, that might just be Southport.

0:40:52 > 0:40:56No. No. When I was a kid, we'd go away.

0:40:56 > 0:40:59And on a Thursday, we'd see a show.

0:40:59 > 0:41:03And I'd sit in the theatre and see all the red faces of the people on their holidays.

0:41:03 > 0:41:07All scrubbed up, laughing, happy.

0:41:07 > 0:41:12And all I could think was, "All these people are going to be dead one day."

0:41:12 > 0:41:16- And I wanted to stand up and tell 'em.- And that's when you knew you wanted to be a Butlins Redcoat.

0:41:16 > 0:41:18SHE LAUGHS

0:41:18 > 0:41:21Anyway, it's not a holiday, it's a day trip.

0:41:24 > 0:41:27I've got another idea.

0:41:27 > 0:41:31- Better than this one?- Ah, it's much, much better. Come on.

0:41:36 > 0:41:39I don't want your money.

0:41:39 > 0:41:42I'm just trying to help you, what's wrong with that?

0:41:42 > 0:41:44I don't need your help.

0:41:44 > 0:41:48Joanne, you have two jobs, two growing lads,

0:41:48 > 0:41:51- I just think you deserve better. - Listen,

0:41:51 > 0:41:55when their dad buggered off... I felt glad.

0:41:57 > 0:42:02I felt guilty about Lee. You do when your child's not right.

0:42:02 > 0:42:06And...he went and it was easier.

0:42:06 > 0:42:12I stopped feeling like I needed to apologise for bringing Lee into the world.

0:42:12 > 0:42:15SHE SIGHS One less to worry about.

0:42:15 > 0:42:20I had my team. Me and the boys. I've got my team.

0:42:20 > 0:42:21I don't need saving!

0:42:27 > 0:42:32- It was something you said about how lucky I'd been to get away.- I wasn't saying that to make you feel guilty.

0:42:32 > 0:42:35I know you weren't. I'd never think that.

0:42:35 > 0:42:38Why couldn't you just be like a normal bloke and ask me out for a drink or something?

0:42:38 > 0:42:41Or say, "Life's too short", and make a pass at me.

0:42:41 > 0:42:43DOOR OPENS

0:42:46 > 0:42:48- You're here again? What fell on her this time?- Light rain.

0:42:48 > 0:42:50Well, if you're coming to the pub,

0:42:50 > 0:42:52you'll have to get the first round in.

0:42:54 > 0:42:57Ryan, on other hand, has no trouble taking hand-outs.

0:42:58 > 0:43:01- TV PLAYS - The traffic's murder, love.

0:43:01 > 0:43:04I'm sorry, I'm not going to make it.

0:43:04 > 0:43:06I've stopped in a pub to watch it.

0:43:06 > 0:43:09- Don't worry.- Are you sure?

0:43:09 > 0:43:12- I'll see you later.- Enger-land!

0:43:12 > 0:43:14- Come on, England! - SHOUTING

0:43:14 > 0:43:16See you, love.

0:43:16 > 0:43:20- Oh, he's not coming. - What?- Why not?- Stuck in traffic!

0:43:20 > 0:43:23I just hope it doesn't jinx it with him not being here.

0:43:23 > 0:43:26- TV:- 'Well, it's another nail-biter for England fans

0:43:26 > 0:43:28'as they face that dreaded shoot-out once again.

0:43:28 > 0:43:33- 'Here's Stuart Pearce. He missed in 1990.'- It's Pearce.

0:43:33 > 0:43:37- Why are they letting Pearce take one?- No, no, no, no, no!

0:43:37 > 0:43:39No. How can he do this to me?

0:43:39 > 0:43:41'The nation holds its breath. Stuart Pearce.

0:43:41 > 0:43:44'Yes! He's got it!'

0:43:44 > 0:43:47- CHEERING - 'An absolute belter of a penalty!

0:43:47 > 0:43:53- Yes!- 'Ecstatic scenes around Wembley and, I'm sure, across the country.

0:43:53 > 0:43:55'England are 3-1 up

0:43:55 > 0:43:59'and surely, a semifinal place beckons for England.'

0:44:07 > 0:44:09Cracking game!

0:44:15 > 0:44:17We kicked their arse.

0:44:17 > 0:44:18Ha-ha-ha!

0:44:22 > 0:44:25Here, go on, you get the brews on.

0:44:27 > 0:44:29It was good to see you.

0:44:29 > 0:44:31You, too.

0:44:31 > 0:44:33- I'm sorry...- I'm sorry...

0:44:33 > 0:44:35THEY BOTH LAUGH NERVOUSLY

0:44:35 > 0:44:40I'm sorry if I made you feel bad about offering to help me out.

0:44:40 > 0:44:45- I just...- No, no. It was a stupid idea. It was patronising and, er...

0:44:45 > 0:44:47No, you were right.

0:44:49 > 0:44:50Right. Good night.

0:45:01 > 0:45:03I'm sorry, I...

0:45:05 > 0:45:08What's going on, Daniel?

0:45:08 > 0:45:12Are we mates? Are we going to...?

0:45:12 > 0:45:16- What are you doing?- I don't know.

0:45:16 > 0:45:18I don't know what I'm doing.

0:45:20 > 0:45:23Right...

0:45:23 > 0:45:25Well, don't come back and see me until you do. OK?

0:45:31 > 0:45:34'I don't know what it is about her.'

0:45:34 > 0:45:40She just makes me feel like my real life.

0:45:40 > 0:45:43You like the idea of the scummy estate where she lives.

0:45:43 > 0:45:46You like her being a single mum.

0:45:46 > 0:45:50You like low-life because you're not stuck there like me,

0:45:50 > 0:45:53with blokes whose idea of a down payment is this.

0:45:53 > 0:45:58- I take it you didn't tell them about your sure-fire bet?- I did not.

0:46:01 > 0:46:04Spain match was a bit close for comfort.

0:46:04 > 0:46:10Which is why I've got a back-up plan.

0:46:10 > 0:46:13DANCE MUSIC PLAYS

0:46:22 > 0:46:26You know what people are saying about the bomb?

0:46:26 > 0:46:30Saying it could be the best thing that ever happened to Manchester.

0:46:30 > 0:46:33Are they? And who are "they"?

0:46:33 > 0:46:35Presumably they weren't lying in dust,

0:46:35 > 0:46:38covered in glass, scared half to death.

0:46:38 > 0:46:41When Alex Ferguson signed Eric Cantona

0:46:41 > 0:46:46it was because Leeds had rung him to ask about selling Denis Irwin.

0:46:46 > 0:46:47What?

0:46:47 > 0:46:52From time to time, bad shit can, by complete accident,

0:46:52 > 0:46:55cause good shit to happen.

0:46:55 > 0:46:57Very profound.

0:46:57 > 0:47:00I read philosophy on my second stretch at Strangeways.

0:47:00 > 0:47:04Bob the Rizla, right, got his tobacconist's blown up in the bomb.

0:47:04 > 0:47:09Got no insurance, went down the town hall,

0:47:09 > 0:47:11he's going to get full compensation.

0:47:11 > 0:47:13No questions asked.

0:47:13 > 0:47:15Victim of terrorism.

0:47:15 > 0:47:19He's going to have a handshake with Michael Heseltine, the works.

0:47:19 > 0:47:21He's going to be minted.

0:47:21 > 0:47:23He's relaunching as a tanning studio.

0:47:23 > 0:47:27Well, his fingers are already yellow.

0:47:27 > 0:47:32A second bomb hits the club early one morning.

0:47:32 > 0:47:35IRA, up to its old tricks again.

0:47:35 > 0:47:40- Why would the IRA bomb your club? - They won't. We will.

0:47:40 > 0:47:46I'll bomb my own club, nobody gets hurt, IRA gets the blame,

0:47:46 > 0:47:47I get the compensation.

0:47:47 > 0:47:53What, so, you're thinking of putting on an IRA tribute act?

0:47:53 > 0:47:57- Should that worry me? - All I'm asking from you is an alibi.

0:47:57 > 0:48:00Why would I get involved in something as stupid as this?

0:48:00 > 0:48:03You already are involved. Don't you see?

0:48:03 > 0:48:05Cos if I don't pay the debt, they'll come looking for you.

0:48:05 > 0:48:08Don't you think they know who you are? Where you live?

0:48:08 > 0:48:10Come to think of it,

0:48:10 > 0:48:13Claire said there was some Rusholme ruffian at ours selling dishcloths.

0:48:13 > 0:48:17- What've you got me in to here, Robbo? - Could be worse.

0:48:17 > 0:48:20- Could've bought a dishcloth off him.- It's not funny.

0:48:20 > 0:48:22That's what I'm trying to say.

0:48:22 > 0:48:27If England lose, a last resort - this place goes up.

0:48:27 > 0:48:31England are going to win, and you are going to clear half a million.

0:48:31 > 0:48:34- That's what's going to happen. - That's right. That... That is right.

0:48:34 > 0:48:37And then we can pretend this conversation never happened.

0:48:41 > 0:48:43I know what you think of me.

0:48:43 > 0:48:47I know you think that I've become a pompous, money-grabbing bastard.

0:48:47 > 0:48:52But I'm asking you to let me do this for you. It's what I'm good at.

0:48:52 > 0:48:55I just don't understand why you'd say no.

0:48:55 > 0:48:57I don't think that about you.

0:48:57 > 0:49:00I just wish you'd come to me first.

0:49:00 > 0:49:03Grandad's an old man and you dazzle him.

0:49:03 > 0:49:05- But not you?- No. You just humiliate me.

0:49:05 > 0:49:07Dad, if I'd wanted to humiliate you

0:49:07 > 0:49:12I could have asked you what the cash sums you took out over the last year were about.

0:49:12 > 0:49:15Ten grand last month, five grand six months ago,

0:49:15 > 0:49:17five grand the April before that...

0:49:17 > 0:49:19That's a lot of petty cash.

0:49:22 > 0:49:28OK. Robbo, your uncle, he has this club and, erm...

0:49:30 > 0:49:34He got into a bit of trouble and, well, he's family,

0:49:34 > 0:49:37no matter what your grandad tells you.

0:49:37 > 0:49:39So, if you believe in family that much,

0:49:39 > 0:49:41why won't you let me help the family business out?

0:49:41 > 0:49:44What, you can just magic this money up?

0:49:44 > 0:49:48That's my job - magicking up money. It's what I'm good at.

0:49:50 > 0:49:52I'm assuming things will change.

0:49:52 > 0:49:55I'm assuming people don't join the board

0:49:55 > 0:49:57just because they want a free lucky bag.

0:49:57 > 0:49:59Things have to change, yes.

0:50:00 > 0:50:03Right, by which you mean, bottom line,

0:50:03 > 0:50:06people are going to lose their jobs.

0:50:06 > 0:50:08Those people, out there.

0:50:08 > 0:50:12Well, not as many people as if it closes down altogether.

0:50:12 > 0:50:15And it will if it carries on like this.

0:50:22 > 0:50:25- Come and talk to me after the match.- What?

0:50:25 > 0:50:29- I assume you're coming over to watch it at ours?- Yeah...

0:50:29 > 0:50:31Well, let's talk after the match.

0:50:31 > 0:50:33- TV: - 'Well, tonight's the night,

0:50:33 > 0:50:37'the one football match you cannot miss - England versus Germany.'

0:50:37 > 0:50:38- Everyone all right for drinks? - Yes.- Yes.

0:50:38 > 0:50:41Everybody's fine. Come on, sit down. Same place as last time.

0:50:41 > 0:50:43'..1996 Final...'

0:50:43 > 0:50:48- Here you are. - So...how's life?

0:50:48 > 0:50:50As you can see, I'm living the dream(!)

0:50:50 > 0:50:52You say that like it's my fault.

0:50:52 > 0:50:55Don't flatter yourself. Is the factory in trouble, yes or no?

0:50:55 > 0:50:58- I won't let that place close, I promise you that.- That's a worry.

0:50:58 > 0:51:00I remember your promises.

0:51:00 > 0:51:04- 'Oh, yes, it's Shearer!' - Come on! Yes!

0:51:04 > 0:51:07'..from the box and he puts England ahead.'

0:51:07 > 0:51:10THEY CHEER

0:51:11 > 0:51:13'..and England are leading...'

0:51:13 > 0:51:151-0! Come on, England!

0:51:15 > 0:51:17'That goal has been scored in under three minutes.

0:51:17 > 0:51:19'A dream start for England.

0:51:19 > 0:51:21Kill it, England.

0:51:21 > 0:51:23'..to Helmer. Oh, danger here!

0:51:23 > 0:51:25'And Kuntz scores. Germany are level.'

0:51:25 > 0:51:26THEY GROAN

0:51:26 > 0:51:28'The England players are looking at the linesman.

0:51:28 > 0:51:31'I suspect they feel it should have been an offside.'

0:51:31 > 0:51:36- Where was Pearce? Nowhere. Where was Seaman? Nowhere!- I know.

0:51:36 > 0:51:39I don't like seeing the Germans giving it plenty.

0:51:39 > 0:51:41Brings a chill to my heart.

0:51:42 > 0:51:44'It's anybody's game...'

0:51:44 > 0:51:47'And so, yet again, England go into the penalty shoot-out

0:51:47 > 0:51:49'to determine their fate.'

0:51:49 > 0:51:51'Alan Shearer has been the stand-out man

0:51:51 > 0:51:53'for England in this tournament.

0:51:53 > 0:51:57'He's already scored two penalties, can he make it three?

0:51:57 > 0:51:59'You wouldn't want anybody else to be England's first man up.'

0:51:59 > 0:52:02I can't watch this.

0:52:02 > 0:52:05'We're just waiting for the referee's whistle now.'

0:52:05 > 0:52:06WHISTLE BLOWS

0:52:07 > 0:52:10'And he scores. Shearer, 1-0 to England.'

0:52:10 > 0:52:12THEY CHEER

0:52:12 > 0:52:16'David Seaman walks across to his goal. The man who was so impressive.

0:52:16 > 0:52:19'Up steps Hassler. Oh, he makes it 1-1, penalty.

0:52:19 > 0:52:21'Seaman dived the right way

0:52:21 > 0:52:24'but the strike was in the bottom corner, out of his reach.

0:52:24 > 0:52:25'Sheringham runs up.

0:52:25 > 0:52:27'Great penalty by Teddy Sheringham.

0:52:27 > 0:52:32'England are 5-4 up. How tense can it be?

0:52:32 > 0:52:35'The pressure is on the Germans now as Kuntz steps up

0:52:35 > 0:52:37'to take Germany's fifth penalty.

0:52:37 > 0:52:39'He must score for Germany to stay in this championship

0:52:39 > 0:52:43'and to prevent England from reaching the final.'

0:52:43 > 0:52:44- Oh!- Ohhh!

0:52:44 > 0:52:46Oh, shit!

0:52:46 > 0:52:48THEY GROAN

0:52:48 > 0:52:49'We move to sudden death.

0:52:49 > 0:52:52'The tension here inside Wembley is almost unbearable.

0:52:53 > 0:52:56'Who will step up to take England's sixth?
