0:00:47 > 0:00:49INDISTINCT CHATTER

0:00:49 > 0:00:51I mean, I'd never have been able to bring him

0:00:51 > 0:00:53- somewhere like this, you see. Your dad.- No.

0:00:53 > 0:00:55Cos he'd dribble.

0:00:57 > 0:00:59I tried to keep him neat.

0:00:59 > 0:01:02If we went to, like, the cafe in Sainsbury's,

0:01:02 > 0:01:06I'd sit with my back to the wall and him facing me.

0:01:06 > 0:01:07Well, I had to.

0:01:07 > 0:01:09It's off-putting for folk, isn't it?

0:01:09 > 0:01:12They've come out for a coffee, seeing someone like that.

0:01:15 > 0:01:17You're feeling sorry for him, aren't you?

0:01:17 > 0:01:20- No, I'm... - Yes, well, don't.

0:01:20 > 0:01:23I looked after him, and it's more than he would have done for me.

0:01:23 > 0:01:25I told you about the pension?

0:01:25 > 0:01:26Yes.

0:01:26 > 0:01:28- No provision for me. - No.

0:01:28 > 0:01:30He were thinking I'd go first.

0:01:30 > 0:01:32- Well, yes, but... - But what?

0:01:32 > 0:01:34It's not like you're without, is it?

0:01:34 > 0:01:36That isn't the point!

0:01:37 > 0:01:41I was an inconvenience for 50 years.

0:01:41 > 0:01:4250 years!

0:01:42 > 0:01:45- Well, he's dead now, so... - You never liked him.

0:01:47 > 0:01:51God, I make better coffee than this in the microwave.

0:01:54 > 0:01:57God, these glasses are mucky.

0:01:57 > 0:02:00I've got a pen pal. Did William tell you?

0:02:00 > 0:02:02No.

0:02:02 > 0:02:03This fella I was at school with.

0:02:03 > 0:02:06Well, except that he was a lad then, obviously.

0:02:06 > 0:02:09I showed Gran how to put her details on Facebook.

0:02:11 > 0:02:12Well, so who is he?

0:02:12 > 0:02:14Alan, he was called.

0:02:14 > 0:02:16CHUCKLES He still is!

0:02:16 > 0:02:19Hang on, stop. Start again. You...

0:02:19 > 0:02:22- When Granddad was... - He can talk for himself!

0:02:22 > 0:02:25When I were at school, there were this lass, this girl...

0:02:25 > 0:02:27- Who he fancied.- Whatever. - Keep going!

0:02:27 > 0:02:29- Well, that's it, really. - No, it isn't.

0:02:29 > 0:02:31Put his name on Facebook, right.

0:02:31 > 0:02:34- Oh, aye! That's it. - And there she was. Celia Dawson.

0:02:34 > 0:02:36- Nee Armitage. - Her and Doreen Wilkinson.

0:02:36 > 0:02:38Yeah, just two of 'em out of t'whole year.

0:02:38 > 0:02:40- You're joking? - So, we wrote to her.

0:02:40 > 0:02:42- "We"? - Granddad were a bit nervous.

0:02:42 > 0:02:45- What for? - Well, I were in two minds.

0:02:45 > 0:02:47So, you wrote to her, and...?

0:02:47 > 0:02:48And she wrote back.

0:02:48 > 0:02:50So, we kept it going!

0:02:50 > 0:02:52CHUCKLES

0:02:52 > 0:02:53Oh, it's all nowt.

0:02:54 > 0:02:56It's all nowt.

0:02:56 > 0:02:57We're just pen pals.

0:02:57 > 0:03:00Except it's been a trip down memory lane.

0:03:00 > 0:03:03Well, sort of, given that...

0:03:03 > 0:03:05Given that...?

0:03:05 > 0:03:08Well, you see, he was in my year but not in my form.

0:03:08 > 0:03:10Gran was in the A stream.

0:03:10 > 0:03:14And if he's who I think he is, then not everything he says adds up.

0:03:14 > 0:03:18You see, I think they lived up in the wilds, somewhere up Stainland.

0:03:18 > 0:03:20She lived in t'next street.

0:03:20 > 0:03:24Only he talks like he lived in the next street.

0:03:24 > 0:03:26And if he did, well...

0:03:27 > 0:03:30...I'm beggared if I can place him.

0:03:30 > 0:03:32Well, I were amazed when she wrote back.

0:03:32 > 0:03:34I didn't think I were t'sort

0:03:34 > 0:03:36- someone like her would remember.- Why?

0:03:36 > 0:03:38What sort's she?

0:03:38 > 0:03:41- Glamorous. - Oh, aye?

0:03:41 > 0:03:44She always seemed...a bit better spoken than the rest, and I...

0:03:44 > 0:03:47I were on t'shy side and gormless.

0:03:47 > 0:03:49So, where is she now?

0:03:49 > 0:03:53Harrogate. She's got a little flat at her daughter's house.

0:03:53 > 0:03:56- Last time he saw her was in 1953.- Really?!

0:03:56 > 0:04:00Yeah, her dad got a job down in Sheffield and that were it - off they went.

0:04:00 > 0:04:03- He was heartbroken. - Did she know you had a...

0:04:03 > 0:04:05thing about her?

0:04:05 > 0:04:07Oh, she'd not look at me twice.

0:04:07 > 0:04:10I've told him. He wants to invite himself over.

0:04:10 > 0:04:12- Yeah!- Why not? Say you're passing.

0:04:12 > 0:04:17Say... you're in Harrogate anyway and would she like to meet up for a cup of tea?

0:04:35 > 0:04:39Mum, it doesn't finish while five. How are we gonna get back here by five?

0:05:11 > 0:05:14- She's got one. He sent one. - On the e-mail.

0:05:14 > 0:05:17Only I'm none the wiser, as folk change so much, don't they?

0:05:53 > 0:05:54Hi, Will.

0:05:56 > 0:05:57I'm off upstairs.

0:05:58 > 0:06:00Didn't know you had a key.

0:06:00 > 0:06:02Do you want it back?

0:06:04 > 0:06:06How's your mother?

0:06:10 > 0:06:12Why are you here?

0:06:14 > 0:06:16- Do you want to give us a few minutes?- Sure.

0:06:28 > 0:06:29SHE SIGHS

0:06:45 > 0:06:49Um...I'm tempted to say it's a long story, but it isn't really.

0:06:49 > 0:06:51In fact, it's pretty straightforward.

0:06:51 > 0:06:53Turns out...

0:06:53 > 0:06:55Judith's a bit of an alcoholic.

0:06:57 > 0:06:59I knew she had a significant relationship with the stuff,

0:06:59 > 0:07:01I knew she liked a drink, but, um,

0:07:01 > 0:07:03yeah...

0:07:03 > 0:07:06didn't realise the extent of it.

0:07:08 > 0:07:11- Has she tried to get help? - Oh, yeah. More than once.

0:07:11 > 0:07:14I don't think it's something that'll sort itself out overnight.

0:07:14 > 0:07:16Well, if ever, in fact, so...

0:07:16 > 0:07:19Yeah.

0:07:21 > 0:07:24So, how does this involve me?

0:07:25 > 0:07:27I've made a terrible mistake, Caroline.

0:07:30 > 0:07:32Oh, I see.

0:07:32 > 0:07:33You want to come back?

0:07:35 > 0:07:37What do you think?

0:07:41 > 0:07:44- I don't know. - I was dazzled.

0:07:44 > 0:07:46It's pathetic, isn't it?

0:07:46 > 0:07:49Even more so when you see what a ridiculous empty-headed mess she...

0:07:49 > 0:07:52Sorry. You don't want to hear this.

0:07:54 > 0:07:57That's so selfish!

0:07:57 > 0:07:59Out of necessity, I suppose.

0:07:59 > 0:08:01You can't imagine it until you've...

0:08:01 > 0:08:03Sorry.

0:08:03 > 0:08:05I suppose I never have.

0:08:05 > 0:08:07Seen it before, up close.

0:08:07 > 0:08:09The real McCoy.

0:08:11 > 0:08:14And it's only now I realise...

0:08:14 > 0:08:16how much of a fool I've made of myself.

0:08:17 > 0:08:21And to have thrown away all this here with you and the boys.

0:08:21 > 0:08:23And for what?

0:08:24 > 0:08:26It's appalling.

0:08:26 > 0:08:28It's abysmal, it's unthinkable.

0:11:30 > 0:11:32- What are you talking about? - Oh, you know.

0:11:32 > 0:11:35- This is what I wanted, him flat on his back in an ambulance?- You love

0:11:35 > 0:11:37that every Saturday I go through hell worrying about him getting hurt.

0:11:37 > 0:11:40I know you've got a screw loose, Gillian, so I won't push it,

0:11:40 > 0:11:43- but you'd better apologise for that. - Oh, yeah, that's happening! - Come on, calm down.

0:11:43 > 0:11:45I go biking with Raff because he loves it.

0:11:45 > 0:11:49I love it. Eddie loved it. It's in us blood. So, don't you come and accuse me...

0:11:49 > 0:11:51Yeah, and if you hadn't raked up all that bloody trouble

0:11:51 > 0:11:55- when Eddie died, nobody'd have reason to think you took any satisfaction!- No, don't.

0:11:55 > 0:11:57- You're lucky I let you have 'owt to do with him.- Yeah?

0:11:57 > 0:12:00Well, you're lucky that you've not had him taken off yer.

0:12:01 > 0:12:03Raff, lad!

0:12:04 > 0:12:07Oh, God, you had me worried!

0:12:07 > 0:12:08Oh, they fussed, Mother.

0:12:43 > 0:12:46It seems very easy for him after all that he's done.

0:12:50 > 0:12:51It turns out she's an alcoholic.

0:12:51 > 0:12:53And he's just discovered this?

0:12:53 > 0:12:56After goodness knows how many months?

0:12:56 > 0:12:59He knew she had a problem - he didn't know the extent of it.

0:19:00 > 0:19:03- Well, if she turns up. - Why wouldn't she?

0:19:03 > 0:19:05Well, I dunno.

0:19:05 > 0:19:07I don't know that I'll have enough to say to her,

0:19:07 > 0:19:10enough to keep a conversation going.

0:19:12 > 0:19:15- Perhaps I should find an excuse.- What for?

0:19:18 > 0:19:20I did ask her out once.

0:19:20 > 0:19:22- Did you? - CHUCKLES

0:19:22 > 0:19:24So?

0:19:24 > 0:19:26Oh, she never turned up.

0:19:26 > 0:19:30I stood there nearly two hours, then after,

0:19:30 > 0:19:34I found out that's when she'd gone to Sheffield.

0:19:34 > 0:19:35- That same day. - You're kidding?

0:19:35 > 0:19:37She's probably forgotten.

0:19:38 > 0:19:41That were a rotten trick.

0:19:41 > 0:19:45Well, it might not have been. She might just have forgotten.

0:19:45 > 0:19:48If they were flitting, she'd have had a lot on her mind, and, er...

0:19:48 > 0:19:53well, you know, we were only kids, teenagers, so...

0:19:53 > 0:19:56- Aw, Dad. - CHUCKLES

0:19:56 > 0:19:58Well, you don't have to go.

0:19:58 > 0:20:00Oh, I can't pull out now.

0:20:03 > 0:20:06- And it were 60 years ago. - So what?

0:25:55 > 0:25:58Didn't you ask me out once?

0:25:58 > 0:26:00Did I?

0:26:00 > 0:26:02Mm, you probably don't remember.

0:26:02 > 0:26:03Um...

0:26:03 > 0:26:04You did.

0:26:06 > 0:26:08- Oh! - Yeah, that's right.

0:26:08 > 0:26:10Then I couldn't come.

0:26:10 > 0:26:13Because it was when we were moving to Sheffield.

0:26:13 > 0:26:15- Oh.- Yeah.

0:26:15 > 0:26:17And we went a day early.

0:26:17 > 0:26:19I can't remember why now.

0:26:19 > 0:26:21It'll be my mother not being organised.

0:26:22 > 0:26:23You go and get your ticket.

0:26:25 > 0:26:27Can I have a latte, please?

0:26:27 > 0:26:29D'you know, it's ringing a bell.

0:26:29 > 0:26:31- Now you've said it. - Good.

0:26:31 > 0:26:34But you got my note.

0:26:34 > 0:26:36Did I?

0:26:36 > 0:26:37- Yeah.- What note?

0:26:37 > 0:26:40I sent you a note to say I couldn't come.

0:26:40 > 0:26:42I gave it to Eileen Pickford to give to you.

0:26:42 > 0:26:45- Eileen?- Yeah.

0:26:45 > 0:26:49To say I was sorry I was letting you down, but...

0:26:49 > 0:26:53this was my new address in Sheffield so you could write to me.

0:26:55 > 0:26:56Did you?!

0:26:56 > 0:26:59Oh, don't tell me you didn't get it?

0:26:59 > 0:27:01- You didn't?- No!

0:27:01 > 0:27:02Oh!

0:27:02 > 0:27:05Well, it's a good job you'd forgotten.

0:27:05 > 0:27:09Cos otherwise you'd have spent the last 60 years thinking I'd stood you up!

0:27:13 > 0:27:15You go and get your ticket.

0:27:15 > 0:27:17OK.

0:28:16 > 0:28:19John turned up on Saturday. He...

0:28:20 > 0:28:22He wants to move back in, so...

0:28:24 > 0:28:26...so I said yes.

0:28:26 > 0:28:28For the boys' sake.

0:28:28 > 0:28:30When you say move back in, does that mean...?

0:28:31 > 0:28:35I don't know what it means, exactly.

0:28:35 > 0:28:36Yet.

0:28:36 > 0:28:37I'm amazed.

0:28:39 > 0:28:40After everything he's done.

0:28:42 > 0:28:43After everything you've said.

0:28:43 > 0:28:46It's mainly for the boys.

0:28:46 > 0:28:48God knows we see enough of it here,

0:28:48 > 0:28:50parents who put their children anywhere except first.

0:28:50 > 0:28:53They think they do until it comes to their own convenience and...

0:28:53 > 0:28:55ha...

0:28:55 > 0:28:57Happiness.

0:28:57 > 0:29:00- I don't wanna be like that. - He doesn't put them first.

0:29:00 > 0:29:03Yes, well, perhaps all the more reason why I should.

0:29:03 > 0:29:05Look...

0:29:20 > 0:29:23Obviously we can be friends.

0:29:24 > 0:29:25But, um...

0:29:27 > 0:29:29...the other thing, it...

0:29:29 > 0:29:30it's not me.

0:38:40 > 0:38:43We're on the B437, heading back to Skipton.

0:38:43 > 0:38:47We're on the B437, heading back to Skipton.

0:38:47 > 0:38:51Er, it's a blue Vauxhall Astra.

0:38:52 > 0:38:55Yes, yes, we're right behind 'em.

0:38:55 > 0:39:00What's this road? Well, it's wiggly, anyway. It's by t'canal.

0:40:19 > 0:40:21Yeah, a silver A-class.

0:40:23 > 0:40:24Yeah...

0:40:24 > 0:40:26It was 20 years ago first time it happened.

0:40:26 > 0:40:28I had to take early retirement.

0:40:28 > 0:40:32Then I had a funny do ten years after that.

0:40:32 > 0:40:36On holiday. I should be dead, really! CHUCKLES

0:40:36 > 0:40:37Good heavens.

0:40:37 > 0:40:39Still, we've had an adventure!

0:40:41 > 0:40:43I wonder what would have happened...

0:40:43 > 0:40:46if Eileen had given you that letter.

0:40:46 > 0:40:50- We'll never know. - Well, we could speculate.

0:40:50 > 0:40:52I'd certainly have written.

0:40:52 > 0:40:54There's very little doubt about that.

0:40:54 > 0:40:56What would you have put?

0:40:56 > 0:41:01Er, "Dear Celia," I'd have put, "thank you for sending me your address."

0:41:02 > 0:41:04And then what?

0:41:04 > 0:41:06I've no idea.

0:41:06 > 0:41:10- SHE LAUGHS - We wouldn't have got very far, then, would we?

0:41:10 > 0:41:14"I am sorry that you were unable to turn up.

0:41:14 > 0:41:17"At least, however, I weren't left standing there for two hours

0:41:17 > 0:41:21"on t'bridge outside t'church in t'snow,

0:41:21 > 0:41:24"as I might have been had you not written."

0:41:24 > 0:41:25You weren't?

0:41:25 > 0:41:29Well, not the snow bit, obviously, it were July, but, er...

0:41:29 > 0:41:31I thought you said you couldn't remember it.

0:41:31 > 0:41:33Yeah, well...

0:41:34 > 0:41:35...I lied.

0:41:36 > 0:41:39I remember it like it were yesterday.

0:41:40 > 0:41:42I were gutted.

0:41:43 > 0:41:45Oh, Alan.

0:41:47 > 0:41:51And there was me in Sheffield thinking you didn't want to write to me.

0:41:51 > 0:41:55Ah, but you didn't feel t'same way about me as I felt about you.

0:41:55 > 0:41:57How do you know I didn't?

0:41:57 > 0:42:00Cor...! I'd been waiting for you to ask me out for months.

0:42:00 > 0:42:02Years.

0:42:04 > 0:42:08Two hours ago, you thought I was someone with spindly legs

0:42:08 > 0:42:09from up Stainland.

0:42:09 > 0:42:12I knew damn well who you were the first time you wrote.

0:42:12 > 0:42:14I was pretending.

0:42:14 > 0:42:16Pretending to myself.

0:42:16 > 0:42:18- Why?! - Because...

0:42:18 > 0:42:21I did like you, a lot.

0:42:21 > 0:42:24But I was never sure how you really felt about me,

0:42:24 > 0:42:26not when you didn't write, and...

0:42:27 > 0:42:32Oh, well, I can say it now because it was 200 years ago and...

0:42:32 > 0:42:34because I'm shameless and...

0:42:36 > 0:42:39...if I don't say it now, I never will.

0:42:43 > 0:42:45I was in love with you.

0:42:49 > 0:42:50FOOTSTEPS APPROACH

0:42:50 > 0:42:54Right! Statements. Who wants to go first?

0:42:55 > 0:42:57Mrs Buttershaw?

0:43:20 > 0:43:23- Got your text. - Yeah, I got yours.

0:43:23 > 0:43:25You're not jacking it in. It's like I told you...

0:43:25 > 0:43:26Get in.

0:43:27 > 0:43:29You've gotta get straight back on.

0:43:29 > 0:43:32That's what your dad would've said. That's what your dad would've done.

0:43:32 > 0:43:35- It upsets me mum too much.- You can't live your life not doing stuff

0:43:35 > 0:43:38- just because your... - But it shook me up as well. - You're just saying that.

0:43:38 > 0:43:40This is about Gillian not wanting you to have 'owt to do wi' me.

0:43:42 > 0:43:43No, it isn't.

0:43:44 > 0:43:47I'm gonna tell you summat now, Raff, about your mother,

0:43:47 > 0:43:50about why she don't like you and me bothering wi' each other.

0:43:50 > 0:43:51When our Eddie...

0:43:52 > 0:43:54When your dad died,

0:43:54 > 0:43:55you know what happened?

0:43:57 > 0:43:59Yeah. Ish.

0:44:00 > 0:44:03Wasn't an accident. This is my personal theory.

0:44:03 > 0:44:05- You know what happened, right?- Yeah.

0:44:05 > 0:44:07- Death by misadventure.- Yeah. - Bollocks.

0:44:08 > 0:44:09She killed him.

0:44:14 > 0:44:17SHEEP BLEAT

0:44:44 > 0:44:46I've got to go to...

0:44:46 > 0:44:47Skipton.

0:44:48 > 0:44:51Grandad's car's been stolen.

0:44:52 > 0:44:55- Tell me about when me dad died. - What, now?

0:44:58 > 0:45:01Well...you know. I...I've told you.

0:45:01 > 0:45:02Not everything.

0:45:02 > 0:45:05Robbie turned up outside the school gates this aft'.

0:45:05 > 0:45:07Robbie?

0:45:08 > 0:45:12- He said summat...weird. - Robbie's a mad bastard.

0:45:14 > 0:45:15D'you know what he thinks?

0:45:15 > 0:45:18Yeah, course I know. He tried to have me arrested.

0:45:18 > 0:45:20Like I hadn't enough to cope with at the time.

0:45:21 > 0:45:25Look, if you wanna talk about this now, fine.

0:45:25 > 0:45:28But you're gonna have to come with me.

0:45:33 > 0:45:36Ooh, it's hopeless. You can never get hold of her at school.

0:45:36 > 0:45:38She's always got it switched off.

0:45:38 > 0:45:41- I've left a message anyway. - Right.

0:45:41 > 0:45:44And if I get desperate, I can always ring John.

0:45:46 > 0:45:47Well...

0:45:47 > 0:45:49Who'd have thought it?

0:45:49 > 0:45:51Us here today, like this.

0:45:52 > 0:45:55Were you really...

0:45:55 > 0:45:57in love with me?

0:45:57 > 0:46:00- What can I get you? - Ooh. Um...

0:46:02 > 0:46:04Er...

0:46:04 > 0:46:05Oh.

0:46:05 > 0:46:08What do you suppose a crappuccino is, Alan?

0:46:08 > 0:46:11Isn't that an F?

0:46:11 > 0:46:13- Is it? Where? - On the board.

0:46:13 > 0:46:18- Is it? - It's frappuccino. Coffee with ice.

0:46:18 > 0:46:22They've always to muck everything about these days, haven't they?

0:46:22 > 0:46:25Still, if you're not taking risks, you're not living.

0:46:25 > 0:46:27That's what our William says,

0:46:27 > 0:46:30and he lives in his bedroom, so what does he know?

0:46:30 > 0:46:33- HE LAUGHS - Oh, go on. I'll have one.

0:46:33 > 0:46:36Well, following that impeccable logic, I'll have one as well.

0:46:36 > 0:46:38Thank you.

0:46:40 > 0:46:43- I'd forgotten you were a comedian. - I'd forgotten you were one!

0:46:43 > 0:46:47You knew damn well that didn't say "crappuccino"!

0:46:47 > 0:46:50Well, people bother with you more if they think you're senile.

0:46:50 > 0:46:52I mean, look at that policeman.

0:46:52 > 0:46:57Well, either that or they run a mile, which can be equally entertaining.

0:46:58 > 0:47:01Were you really in love with me?

0:47:01 > 0:47:02Mm.

0:47:02 > 0:47:04I used to think about you...

0:47:05 > 0:47:07...when I was miserable with Kenneth.

0:47:08 > 0:47:10I used to wonder what you were up to...

0:47:11 > 0:47:12...and who you were with...

0:47:14 > 0:47:18...and how different things might have been if I'd married a lad like you.

0:47:22 > 0:47:25Did you think about me? When you were with Eileen?

0:47:25 > 0:47:26Now and again.

0:47:29 > 0:47:32See, I don't think I ever stopped thinking about you.

0:47:34 > 0:47:35Oh...

0:47:37 > 0:47:39We missed a trick, didn't we?

0:47:40 > 0:47:43I can't believe Eileen didn't give me that letter.

0:47:43 > 0:47:45CHUCKLES

0:47:45 > 0:47:47Well, we can't change it.

0:47:47 > 0:47:51It's...it's such a big thing not to have done.

0:47:51 > 0:47:53She must have known.

0:47:55 > 0:47:58Well, you've got Gillian and Raffy,

0:47:58 > 0:48:00and I've got my lot.

0:48:00 > 0:48:03And I don't regret that, do you?

0:48:03 > 0:48:07- Whatever else might have happened. - No. No! No. I-I...

0:48:07 > 0:48:10Course not.

0:48:10 > 0:48:12RAFF: He says it wasn't an accident.

0:48:12 > 0:48:13He says me dad wouldn't have been that stupid.

0:48:13 > 0:48:15Look...

0:48:15 > 0:48:17He took risks with his biking, right enough,

0:48:17 > 0:48:19but calculated risks, Robbie said.

0:48:19 > 0:48:20He were big on safety on t'farm.

0:48:20 > 0:48:22Yeah, yeah, he was,

0:48:22 > 0:48:24when he wasn't off his head drunk.

0:48:26 > 0:48:28- Look...- He said you argued...

0:48:28 > 0:48:31- all the time.- Yeah, like thousands of others.

0:48:31 > 0:48:32Well, he said how, days before he died,

0:48:32 > 0:48:35you argued and told him you'd like to see him dead.

0:48:35 > 0:48:36- Did he? - Well, I said you loved him

0:48:36 > 0:48:39- and he had to shut his mouth. - Right. Well, that's... Good for you.

0:48:39 > 0:48:43Then he said how most of what he deals with is stuff like this. Domestics.

0:48:43 > 0:48:46- What you don't realise...- He said that every copper knows

0:48:46 > 0:48:48people don't kill people they couldn't give a toss about.

0:48:48 > 0:48:51What you don't realise, Raff, about Robbie is...

0:48:51 > 0:48:52when Eddie...

0:48:54 > 0:48:56...when your dad died...

0:48:57 > 0:48:59- SHE SIGHS - Jesus!

0:49:02 > 0:49:04WIND WHISTLES

0:49:18 > 0:49:20...it warped him.

0:49:20 > 0:49:22Robbie.

0:49:22 > 0:49:25He couldn't accept it. He couldn't come to terms with it.

0:49:26 > 0:49:28He couldn't accept...

0:49:28 > 0:49:30it just happened.

0:49:30 > 0:49:32He had to blame someone.

0:49:34 > 0:49:35So...

0:49:36 > 0:49:37...obvious choice.

0:49:39 > 0:49:40Me.

0:49:47 > 0:49:49He said one day he'd prove it.

0:49:52 > 0:49:53He won't, will he?

0:49:53 > 0:49:55No, love.

0:49:56 > 0:49:57No.

0:50:06 > 0:50:07HE SNIFFS

0:50:45 > 0:50:46Hard at it, are we?

0:50:46 > 0:50:48I was gonna cook supper, but you might have to.

0:50:48 > 0:50:50Right.

0:50:50 > 0:50:52I got a B in my science test today, Ma,

0:50:52 > 0:50:54- and then I scored a try. - Good, well done.

0:50:54 > 0:50:57He thinks if he lies like that he'll be able to see up

0:50:57 > 0:50:58the girlies' skirts on the telly,

0:50:58 > 0:51:01- because he's not very bright.- JOHN: We've been discussing your mother.

0:51:01 > 0:51:03- Have you? - "Age cannot wither her,

0:51:03 > 0:51:06"nor custom stale her infinite variety." Apparently.

0:51:06 > 0:51:08- Ignore him. He's drunk. - Really?

0:51:08 > 0:51:11Mature love, Antony and Cleopatra, all that claptrap.

0:51:11 > 0:51:13- You didn't tell me she had a fella. - She hasn't, it's just some old...

0:51:13 > 0:51:16someone she writes to on the e-mail.

0:51:16 > 0:51:19- Right, well, I'm off to Skipton to pick her up.- What?

0:51:19 > 0:51:21- She's been trying to get hold of you.- Oh!

0:51:21 > 0:51:24She went to meet this Alan in Skipton and then she pranged her car.

0:51:24 > 0:51:26Is she all right?

0:51:26 > 0:51:29Yeah, yeah, but the car's damaged, so she needs picking up, so...

0:51:29 > 0:51:32- I'll go.- I'll go.

0:51:32 > 0:51:33I'll go!

0:51:37 > 0:51:38DOOR CLOSES

0:51:41 > 0:51:42So...

0:51:43 > 0:51:46...if I had written

0:51:46 > 0:51:49and if we had kept in touch...

0:51:49 > 0:51:51Going back to speculating.

0:51:51 > 0:51:53Oh, well...

0:51:54 > 0:51:56Maybe you'd have popped down to visit me.

0:51:56 > 0:51:58More than likely.

0:51:58 > 0:52:00Then we might have gone dancing.

0:52:00 > 0:52:03HE LAUGHS I imagine so!

0:52:03 > 0:52:05And then...

0:52:05 > 0:52:06Then...

0:52:06 > 0:52:08well...

0:52:09 > 0:52:10...we might have...

0:52:10 > 0:52:12started...

0:52:12 > 0:52:13Courting?

0:52:14 > 0:52:15Yeah.

0:52:16 > 0:52:18Except by then, I'd have met Kenneth.

0:52:18 > 0:52:20Would you?

0:52:20 > 0:52:23Him with his university education and his prospects.

0:52:25 > 0:52:26Would that have been it, then?

0:52:27 > 0:52:29I don't know.

0:52:29 > 0:52:33You see, I think that's what I was dazzled by - his prospects.

0:52:33 > 0:52:35I wouldn't be now.

0:52:35 > 0:52:41Now I know there are much more important qualities a man can have, but...then...

0:52:41 > 0:52:42I wanted...

0:52:42 > 0:52:45a nice house with a bit of garden

0:52:45 > 0:52:47and a car.

0:52:48 > 0:52:50Things my mum and dad had never had.

0:52:51 > 0:52:53So, no.

0:52:53 > 0:52:56I would probably have made the same mistakes.

0:52:56 > 0:52:58I had prospects.

0:52:59 > 0:53:01Oh, I know. I...

0:53:01 > 0:53:04Not t'same as Kenneth, perhaps.

0:53:04 > 0:53:06I wasn't comparing. I'm just...

0:53:06 > 0:53:07saying...

0:53:09 > 0:53:12And anyway, you weren't there.

0:53:12 > 0:53:13No.

0:53:13 > 0:53:14So...

0:53:16 > 0:53:18But I'm here now.

0:53:19 > 0:53:22You certainly are.

0:53:24 > 0:53:28You told Michael bloody Dobson of all people?!

0:53:28 > 0:53:30- That insidious little prick? - Are you cross?

0:53:30 > 0:53:33No, Kate, I'm delighted, I'm thrilled, I'm over the bloody moon!

0:53:33 > 0:53:36- Look, he's...- I've gotta go, I'm going, I'm driving.

0:53:48 > 0:53:51Hey! Oi!

0:53:51 > 0:53:53Sorry! Emergency.

0:54:03 > 0:54:05Oh, Gillian!

0:54:07 > 0:54:11That was the most selfish, mindless piece of driving

0:54:11 > 0:54:13- I have ever witnessed. - I won't be a minute, love.

0:54:13 > 0:54:15- Then you can have it. - You could see I'd got

0:54:15 > 0:54:16my reversing lights on, you could see I'd already started manoeuvring.
