0:00:02 > 0:00:04- I want a baby. - I mean, how...how would it work?
0:00:04 > 0:00:06Well, obviously a donor.
0:00:06 > 0:00:09She's pregnant. It's mine.
0:00:12 > 0:00:15I'm not having that lad leaving school,
0:00:15 > 0:00:18he could get into university.
0:00:18 > 0:00:22Just as long as you know that I can't see Caroline short either.
0:00:22 > 0:00:24Bloody Caroline.
0:00:24 > 0:00:27- What's up with Caroline? I thought you were mates?- Nothing.
0:00:27 > 0:00:29I know you said you're seeing Robbie, but, frankly,
0:00:29 > 0:00:32- I think you and me both know that is a disaster.- Really?
0:00:32 > 0:00:35Are you doing anything this weekend?
0:00:35 > 0:00:37Thing is, we're married now.
0:00:37 > 0:00:40- You did it? - Yeah, course we did it.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30I mean...you know.
0:01:30 > 0:01:31Just disappointed.
0:01:31 > 0:01:32We didn't want a fuss.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35Fair enough, but if I'm being honest, I'm with 'Arry.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37Disappointed.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40Yeah, well, it's done now, so...
0:01:40 > 0:01:42What are we going to call this baby?
0:01:42 > 0:01:44What does it look like?
0:01:44 > 0:01:46You can see what it looks like.
0:01:46 > 0:01:50No, I mean does it look like a Heather? Or a Barbara?
0:01:50 > 0:01:52Or a...Claudette?
0:01:52 > 0:01:56I think it looks like a bad-tempered beetroot, personally. But...
0:01:56 > 0:01:59Right! It's had enough, it wants to get its windy-pops up now.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02Does great grandad Harry want to do the honours?
0:02:06 > 0:02:11"Oh, great grandad Harry, I much prefer you to great grandad Alan,
0:02:11 > 0:02:15"because I know that if it'd been you getting wed, and you'd
0:02:15 > 0:02:19"asked him to be your best man, you'd not have gone sneaking off..."
0:02:19 > 0:02:22He wasn't going to ask you, he'd asked me.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24- He asked me. - He asked me.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27He asked me.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30I didn't ask either of you. You volunteered.
0:02:30 > 0:02:34Which I was very flattered by, and touched, but you're my pals!
0:02:34 > 0:02:39I couldn't say no to either of you! So...
0:02:39 > 0:02:42And it was what Celia wanted.
0:02:42 > 0:02:43What Celia wanted.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45I'm sick of having to explain myself.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48She leads you by t'nose. You know that, don't you?
0:02:48 > 0:02:50What did she say?
0:02:50 > 0:02:51"I don't want either of them
0:02:51 > 0:02:54"two scruffy buggers being your best man?"
0:02:54 > 0:02:55Hey. You talk for yourself...
0:02:55 > 0:02:57Funnily enough, you weren't mentioned.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00- I scrub up very nicely, thank you. - Are we going to let this drop?
0:03:02 > 0:03:04Where is Celia?
0:03:04 > 0:03:06Harrogate. Oh, she's coming back.
0:03:06 > 0:03:08She's just popped over to fetch a few bits and pieces.
0:03:17 > 0:03:18I mean, can you imagine?
0:03:18 > 0:03:22She literally didn't know she was pregnant, she said,
0:03:22 > 0:03:24and then - clang - there it is.
0:03:24 > 0:03:29A baby. I think she's in shock, I think they all are.
0:03:29 > 0:03:30Hello, Celia!
0:03:30 > 0:03:32Oh. I thought he'd moved out.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35No! Not entirely, not yet.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37It hasn't even got a name.
0:03:37 > 0:03:38They're calling it "The Baby".
0:03:38 > 0:03:41And is it...definitely his?
0:03:41 > 0:03:44Oh, yeah. First thing Gillian did was go down to t'chemist
0:03:44 > 0:03:47- and buy a paternity testing kit. - God.
0:03:47 > 0:03:51So...Ellie is living at the farm with "The Baby".
0:03:51 > 0:03:53What does her mother think?
0:03:53 > 0:03:55Oh, she wants her back home and at school.
0:03:55 > 0:03:56Only I don't think she's facing the facts.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58She's not prepared to help out.
0:03:58 > 0:04:02She has this high-powered highly-paid job in the NHS
0:04:02 > 0:04:05shuffling papers off her desk onto somebody else's,
0:04:05 > 0:04:08which she has made it plain she's not prepared to give up,
0:04:08 > 0:04:11or even go part-time, and why should she?
0:04:11 > 0:04:16But what she's not addressing is the situation as it stands.
0:04:16 > 0:04:21And the husband's no better, he's a quantity surveyor in Dewsbury.
0:04:21 > 0:04:22Divorced.
0:04:22 > 0:04:26And he has opinions as well, but nothing that alters the facts.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28So, what's going to happen?
0:04:28 > 0:04:31Well, they seem determined to muddle through at the farm.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34Everyone's helping out. Gillian, Robbie...
0:04:34 > 0:04:37- How is Gillian? - Harry, me, Alan...
0:04:37 > 0:04:40I think I've changed its nappy as often as anyone.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42I mean, they do nowt, Raff and Ellie.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44Is she still seeing Robbie? Gillian.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46I think they're frightened of it,
0:04:46 > 0:04:49and it's a sweet enough little thing.
0:04:49 > 0:04:54It sickens me, when there's folks want babies and can't,
0:04:54 > 0:04:58you know, honest, hard-working, decent people...
0:04:58 > 0:05:01Has it...she really not got a name?
0:05:01 > 0:05:06Well, nothing that's stuck. Gillian calls her Flossie,
0:05:06 > 0:05:09which to me is more what you might call a King Charles Spaniel.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11Alan calls her Emily Jane,
0:05:11 > 0:05:15but that's just so he can make it rhyme with stuff.
0:05:15 > 0:05:20Harry calls her Foo-Foo Tinkerbell or summat.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22But he's an...idiot.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24But she's coping? Gillian.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26What would you call a baby? If you had one?
0:05:26 > 0:05:30Oh, well, for a girl, I've always liked Emily.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32And with Alan. It's good, it's...
0:05:32 > 0:05:34Or Victoria, Virginia, Elizabeth, Charlotte.
0:05:34 > 0:05:39Those sort of more traditional names...Helen, Helena, Eleanor.
0:05:39 > 0:05:43Oh, no, that's Ellie. Or...or something pretty. Like Flora.
0:05:43 > 0:05:47Jasmine. Poppy! Grace. That's nice.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49Celia! You've got a lovely name.
0:05:49 > 0:05:53And there's Rose, Rosie, Ros, Rosamund, Rosalind...
0:05:53 > 0:05:56Florence, Maisie, Daisy...
0:05:56 > 0:05:58retro, I know, but it's very sweet. I don't know!
0:05:58 > 0:06:01It'll all depend on what Caroline thinks.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05- What would? - What's it got to do with Caroline?
0:06:05 > 0:06:08I mean, if ever...if, if...me and Caroline...
0:06:08 > 0:06:11Which, why would we? ..had to choose a baby name.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13- You and Caroline? - You and Caroline?
0:06:13 > 0:06:14Not, not, not that...
0:06:16 > 0:06:18Well, you wouldn't have to. Would you?
0:06:18 > 0:06:21Well, no, women...lesb...
0:06:21 > 0:06:24Ladies...do have babies.
0:06:24 > 0:06:25Do they?
0:06:27 > 0:06:28How.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30Well, if...
0:06:32 > 0:06:35You're not, are you? She's too old.
0:06:35 > 0:06:39Yeah, well, she isn't, technically, and I'm not.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42So, hypothetically, in theory...
0:06:42 > 0:06:45She'd not want to go through all that again at her age.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47No...no.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54Where did you say she was?
0:06:54 > 0:06:58The year-12s are doing King Lear tonight. So...
0:06:58 > 0:07:00That'll be one to slit your wrists to.
0:07:00 > 0:07:04So, is that is that something you're serious about?
0:07:04 > 0:07:07No. God, no. Is Alan next door?
0:07:07 > 0:07:09No, I've left him in Halifax.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12I just popped over to get a few bits.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15Well...and I wanted five minutes with Caroline.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18Any road, will you tell her to pop round when she's got a minute?
0:07:18 > 0:07:20- Sure.- I mean, not tonight.
0:07:20 > 0:07:24If she's had to sit through King Lear she'll just want to lie down.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32DOOR CLOSES
0:07:32 > 0:07:34SHEEP BLEAT
0:07:34 > 0:07:35There.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37MOBILE RINGS
0:07:47 > 0:07:48Hello.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50Gillian. It's John.
0:07:50 > 0:07:51Yeah.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55Sorry. Erm. I never rang you back last week
0:07:55 > 0:07:58cos I heard what had happened and I didn't want to pester you.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00Sounds like you've had your hands full.
0:08:00 > 0:08:01Yep.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04How's...how's...how are things?
0:08:05 > 0:08:07Complicated.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10Right. I was serious about what I said.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13About putting money...in my farm?
0:08:13 > 0:08:15I would do that, but I meant more about you.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18You know, I can't help thinking it's a mistake.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20Right.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23I still think about you all the time.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26- I've started writing again. - John, I...
0:08:26 > 0:08:28I wonder if getting the push from the publisher was
0:08:28 > 0:08:30the kick up the arse that I needed.
0:08:32 > 0:08:33It's about you.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36Well, sort of about you.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39It's about everything. Everything that's happened.
0:08:39 > 0:08:43Celia and your dad meeting up again after all this time.
0:08:43 > 0:08:47And...mad bitch here, and her mousey little girlfriend.
0:08:47 > 0:08:52But your character's the real central...the...
0:08:52 > 0:08:55..point of it all really. The lynch pin.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58The...well, the heroine...
0:08:58 > 0:09:03..if you like. Gillian?
0:09:03 > 0:09:05Right. OK.
0:09:05 > 0:09:09So, you see...it would be lovely to meet up.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11I don't have to come to the house. The farm.
0:09:11 > 0:09:15If that's complicated. We could just...go out for dinner.
0:09:15 > 0:09:16Or a drink.
0:09:18 > 0:09:19Hello?
0:09:20 > 0:09:22I can't. It's too messy.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24I have to go now.
0:09:24 > 0:09:28- Gillian...- I'm sorry, I'm hanging up. I'm glad you're working again.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31Bye...bye. Bye-bye.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42How was school?
0:09:42 > 0:09:44Fine.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46She been all right?
0:09:46 > 0:09:47No, we sold her to a Chinaman.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49Right.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51We didn't get much for her.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54Have you had something to eat?
0:09:54 > 0:09:55Toast.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57Toast.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59Are you managing to concentrate?
0:09:59 > 0:10:01- Yeah. - I mean, at school.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03Yes!
0:10:03 > 0:10:05She needs her nappy changed.
0:10:07 > 0:10:08HE JANGLES TOY
0:10:08 > 0:10:11Little Nelly needs her nappy changed, kids.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20I said, the baby needs its nappy changed.
0:10:20 > 0:10:21- Grandad!- What y' doing? - Ooh, knackers!
0:10:21 > 0:10:24- Were you saving the universe? - Y'shouldn't have done that.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27It's not real. Me and your grandad lived through the Blitz.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29Did you 'eck. Blitz was in t'big cities.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32Halifax got one bomb dropped on it, and that were by accident
0:10:32 > 0:10:34cos some plank in the Luftwaffe couldn't find Manchester.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36Oh, they know it all don't they?
0:10:36 > 0:10:39Except, oh, yeah, how to avoid getting pregnant.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41We wouldn't have made that mistake, would we, Alan?
0:10:41 > 0:10:42Eh? Blitz or no Blitz...
0:10:45 > 0:10:47HE STOMPS UPSTAIRS
0:10:49 > 0:10:51DOOR SLAMS
0:10:53 > 0:10:54HE CRIES
0:10:57 > 0:10:59KNOCKS ON DOOR
0:11:01 > 0:11:03It's me.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07Can I come in.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09Why are you even friends with him?
0:11:15 > 0:11:17It isn't really about him, is it?
0:11:38 > 0:11:40I've got to earn some money, grandad.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44Going to school now, it's just ridiculous
0:11:56 > 0:11:59I told him, he can get a job soon enough,
0:11:59 > 0:12:01but I'd be sickened if he left school, Celia.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06- Celia? - So, there's no point us looking
0:12:06 > 0:12:08for a little bungalow now then, is there?
0:12:08 > 0:12:10Well, we can look, but,
0:12:10 > 0:12:13you see, when I was his age, well, you an' all,
0:12:13 > 0:12:15it were never an option.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18Were it? Staying on at school.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21If he'd just get his A levels,
0:12:21 > 0:12:24he'd always be able to try for a university at a later stage.
0:12:24 > 0:12:28Wouldn't he? Which... well, that's important.
0:12:28 > 0:12:32Trouble is, he wants to do the right thing, which I understand,
0:12:32 > 0:12:36but t'difficulty is, knowing what the right thing is
0:12:36 > 0:12:39when everybody seems to have so many different opinions.
0:12:39 > 0:12:43- Yeah.- I think somebody at school's said something nasty
0:12:43 > 0:12:45that's upset him.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47Well, they will do, they're kids.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50I don't want him ending up in a job wi' no prospects,
0:12:50 > 0:12:53and then for her to just up-sticks and beggar off anyway
0:12:53 > 0:12:55with the baby, which you never know.
0:12:55 > 0:12:59I mean, I don't know whether they're still actually seeing one another.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02I don't even know that they ever were
0:13:02 > 0:13:06beyond this one evening of Malibu-fuelled passion.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10I know he was smitten with her before, but
0:13:10 > 0:13:14I'm not so sure now and she doesn't seem bothered about
0:13:14 > 0:13:17owt much at the minute, him included.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19You're not telling me anything I don't know.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21I have been there a week.
0:13:21 > 0:13:26I know, I'm just...I'm struggling to make sense of it myself.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29The more I think about it, worse it seems to get.
0:13:29 > 0:13:33It's a mess, Celia. It's a right bloody mess.
0:13:33 > 0:13:37Yeah, but you haven't to get stressed.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39Oh...I'm all right.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43I'm missing you.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45I'm missing you.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48CAR APPROACHES Oh, hey up. Madame Lazonga's back.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51- Who? - Our little Caroline.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54Hey, what do you think about Cordelia?
0:13:54 > 0:13:58For a name. It's King Lear. There's three of them.
0:13:58 > 0:14:02Daughters - Goneril, Regan and Cordelia.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04I think of the three...
0:14:04 > 0:14:09Goneril! Oh, y'just wouldn't, would you?
0:14:09 > 0:14:12There's no wonder they wanted him dead.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14Dozy old bugger.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45Kate?
0:14:47 > 0:14:48Are you all right?
0:14:50 > 0:14:51How was King Lear?
0:14:53 > 0:14:56It was very good, I was very proud of them.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59- Your mum's back. - I saw the car.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01She said to pop round. Not tonight.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04Have you been crying?
0:15:04 > 0:15:07Just feeling sorry for myself.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09Why?
0:15:09 > 0:15:12- Not Lawrence.- No.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15- John?- No!
0:15:15 > 0:15:17- My mother?- No.
0:15:18 > 0:15:19What then?
0:15:31 > 0:15:33Do you want to tell me about it in bed?
0:15:38 > 0:15:40Have you been eating peanuts?
0:15:41 > 0:15:44- Popcorn at the interval... - That'd do it.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46..but I've drunk a whole glass of wine since then!
0:15:46 > 0:15:48- That'd wash off any... - Not necessarily. Get the...
0:15:50 > 0:15:53- Where's your handbag? - In there.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55Do you want me to do it? Do you want to do it?
0:15:55 > 0:15:57No, you.
0:15:57 > 0:15:59SHE WHEEZES AND COUGHS
0:16:02 > 0:16:05Here, just right there.
0:16:05 > 0:16:09- You're going to be fine. - I'm going to be fine.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11SHE CONTINUES TO COUGH
0:16:12 > 0:16:13Ambulance.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18Caroline Elliot, 46 Conway Drive,
0:16:18 > 0:16:20Harrogate, HG3 2MC.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24I've got someone with anaphylaxia.
0:16:26 > 0:16:27Thank you.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30Four minutes. God, I'm sorry.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32I'm fine.
0:16:32 > 0:16:33Stupid thing to do!
0:16:33 > 0:16:35I don't think I need an ambulance.
0:16:35 > 0:16:36It's on its way, it's coming.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40Y'have to massage it after you've injected.
0:16:40 > 0:16:41Let me.
0:16:44 > 0:16:46What were you upset about?
0:16:46 > 0:16:47Just.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50Babies.
0:17:00 > 0:17:01Kate's just had, erm...
0:17:04 > 0:17:06I wasn't, uh...
0:17:08 > 0:17:09We weren't...
0:17:23 > 0:17:26You want to get yourself to bed,
0:17:26 > 0:17:28you've got school tomorrow.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30I might sleep down here tonight.
0:17:32 > 0:17:34Why?
0:17:34 > 0:17:37Just... that camp bed's not right comfy.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42We should get you a double bed.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44Would a double bed fit in that room? With a cot.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46When we get the cot.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48I'm fine sleeping down here.
0:17:48 > 0:17:51What about when little doo-dah needs feeding during the night?
0:17:51 > 0:17:53You can't leave it all to Ellie.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55I'll hear her, I'll help her.
0:17:55 > 0:17:57You mightn't.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59I just, don't want to crowd her.
0:18:00 > 0:18:01Who?
0:18:01 > 0:18:03Ellie.
0:18:07 > 0:18:08We need another bedroom.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14I'll get you that other duvet...
0:18:14 > 0:18:16out of the airing cupboard.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35Hospital?
0:18:35 > 0:18:38She'll be fine, it happens.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41I've given her the morning off work, anyway.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44Oh, hell, steady on. You don't want to be spoiling her.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47Are you just here to dazzle us all with your sparkling wit
0:18:47 > 0:18:48or do you want something?
0:18:48 > 0:18:49I haven't see you for a week!
0:18:49 > 0:18:50Have I changed?
0:18:50 > 0:18:53No, you're just as gorgeous.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55Mm. So are you.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58She said something droll yesterday, did Kate.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01- Oh, what.- We were discussing babies' names, you know,
0:19:01 > 0:19:06for little Fanny Alice and...she talked like...
0:19:06 > 0:19:10..you were thinking of having one. You and her. I said "How?"
0:19:12 > 0:19:14Oh, she, we...it's, it's not...
0:19:14 > 0:19:16- Where's my laptop? And my papers? - Sorry?
0:19:16 > 0:19:20They were on the coffee table in the sitting room. They were right there in front of me.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23- Have you been buggering around in there?- It wasn't him, it was me. I've confiscated them.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26- Where are they?- I'm not telling you. - Where ARE they?
0:19:26 > 0:19:28Why don't you talk to me about Alison Waterhouse?
0:19:28 > 0:19:31- Who?- "A flaccid, overripe fruit of a woman."
0:19:31 > 0:19:35I was experimenting with... language, similes.
0:19:35 > 0:19:36It's a metaphor.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39It's a lazy metaphor, I mean, what sort of fruit are we talking about?
0:19:39 > 0:19:40A banana? A tangerine?
0:19:40 > 0:19:43You know, people always think you've based characters on them
0:19:43 > 0:19:45and you haven't.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48And can we leave Alison's "dusky Negress" right out of it?
0:19:48 > 0:19:51Or Matthew Waterhouse will be getting his withering, shrivelling,
0:19:51 > 0:19:54starved-of-light, pink little bollocks chopped right off.
0:19:54 > 0:19:55Right. Fine.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57Is that what he's put?
0:19:57 > 0:19:59Adjustments will be made. Can I have it back?
0:19:59 > 0:20:01- No. You can whistle. - Caroline!
0:20:01 > 0:20:05And what about Lizzie Cunningham? Hmm?
0:20:05 > 0:20:07"A latter-day Bathsheba Everdene" no less,
0:20:07 > 0:20:09who owns her own sheep farm
0:20:09 > 0:20:11and has more suitors than she knows what to do with.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13Who does that remind us of?
0:20:13 > 0:20:15"A sullen, sinewy 40-something woman
0:20:15 > 0:20:19"with the purposeful frame and carriage of a 16-year-old boy".
0:20:19 > 0:20:21Ooh, la-la! So...
0:20:21 > 0:20:24Mummy isn't the only gay in the village.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27I'm sorry, I am sorry, I'm going to have to ring Gillian...
0:20:27 > 0:20:28You are not going to ring Gillian.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31I am. I'm going to have to ring Gillian.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33You are not ringing Gillian!
0:20:33 > 0:20:37Right! Ring bloody sodding Gillian then!
0:20:38 > 0:20:41Do you mind not using language like that in front of my mother?
0:20:41 > 0:20:43Give it me back.
0:20:45 > 0:20:46CAROLINE!?!
0:20:46 > 0:20:47What's he put about me?
0:20:47 > 0:20:49It's not you...
0:20:49 > 0:20:53The basic upshot is two people in their 70s, in love,
0:20:53 > 0:20:56who get together after... ooh, 60 years?
0:20:56 > 0:20:59But it's not about you, and then their respective daughters -
0:20:59 > 0:21:02Alison, the flaccid, overripe fruit, who just happens to be
0:21:02 > 0:21:05the headmistress of a very marvellous public school,
0:21:05 > 0:21:09and Lizzie, with the body of a 16-year-old boy, and a sheep farm.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11I want to read it.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13I've not written the bloody thing yet!
0:21:13 > 0:21:17No, and I don't think you should if you're going to be rude about people.
0:21:17 > 0:21:18Why were you even reading it anyway?
0:21:18 > 0:21:20Cos you shouldn't leave things chucking about.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22If this is damaged, you're paying for a new one.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24Oh, that's happening.
0:21:27 > 0:21:28Why is he even here?
0:21:28 > 0:21:32Because he's got nowhere else to go.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35He reckons to be looking for a flat to rent near the university
0:21:35 > 0:21:38till I can buy him out here, and then he can buy somewhere.
0:21:38 > 0:21:39I don't know.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42Have you made any decisions yet?
0:21:42 > 0:21:44It's all up in the air, I'm afraid, love.
0:21:46 > 0:21:47Go brush your teeth.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58You know, Kate's up for it.
0:21:59 > 0:22:03She's serious, she's had her house valued, she's got it on the market.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06- OK.- But she, erm...
0:22:08 > 0:22:10OK. So, the thing is...
0:22:12 > 0:22:14It's true. She does want a baby.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16If she makes this commitment to me, to me buying the house,
0:22:16 > 0:22:18she wants us to...
0:22:18 > 0:22:20How?
0:22:20 > 0:22:22Oh, don't worry about that. But the thing is...
0:22:22 > 0:22:24Would you really want to go through all that again?
0:22:24 > 0:22:28No. It's unlikely that she'll ever get pregnant.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31She was pregnant four times when she was married to Richard,
0:22:31 > 0:22:34but she never got beyond the first 12 weeks.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36She's 42, I've been on the internet,
0:22:36 > 0:22:39the chances of her getting pregnant are minute.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42And I think she'd be better concentrating on her career,
0:22:42 > 0:22:44she's very clever, but, the thing is...
0:22:44 > 0:22:46Sorry, you don't want to hear this.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48- Oh, go on.- It's her birthday this coming weekend,
0:22:48 > 0:22:50so I'm going to take her...somewhere nice,
0:22:50 > 0:22:54it's a little hotel I've found, and I've booked it, and I'm going to...
0:22:54 > 0:22:57to try and talk her out of it. For her sake!
0:22:58 > 0:23:02She'll only end up tearful and disappointed when it doesn't happen.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04I wondered if you'd keep an eye on the boys?
0:23:04 > 0:23:06You and Alan.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08There's no point asking John, he'll just get Judith round again
0:23:08 > 0:23:11- and trash the place. - Yeah, of course we will, love.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14Thank you.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18CAROLINE SIGHS WITH RELIEF
0:23:18 > 0:23:21What are your plans today?
0:23:21 > 0:23:24Oh, we're going looking at a bungalow! Over at Ripponden.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28You needn't look so worried, we're only looking.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45Good morning. Mrs Buttershaw?
0:23:47 > 0:23:50- How do you do. - You have picked a super day.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52It's a smashing view.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54Well, it's all in with the price.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57And this is my husband. And that's the baby.
0:23:57 > 0:23:59We've not been married a week, and look.
0:23:59 > 0:24:03You can't hang about, y'see, not when you get to our age.
0:24:03 > 0:24:04Right.
0:24:04 > 0:24:08He's pulling your leg, love. We're actually the great grandparents.
0:24:08 > 0:24:12I know! And me only 36. Have you remembered the keys?
0:24:12 > 0:24:14Yeah.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17Boo! Boo! Yes!
0:24:17 > 0:24:19Do you like it?
0:24:21 > 0:24:24- What do you reckon? - Oh, it's beautiful.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26And we can afford it. Between us.
0:24:26 > 0:24:27In theory.
0:24:29 > 0:24:30I know.
0:24:30 > 0:24:34It wouldn't need a lot doing. Maybe a new bathroom,
0:24:34 > 0:24:37but other than that. That kitchen's beautiful.
0:24:39 > 0:24:43We need to win t'lottery, then we'd have enough for everybody.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47Are we kidding ourselves?
0:24:48 > 0:24:51I think so, don't you?
0:24:52 > 0:24:54Way things are at the moment.
0:24:56 > 0:25:00It's her mother and father that ought to be forking out for stuff,
0:25:00 > 0:25:01not you and Gillian.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04You're giving her and the baby a roof over their heads,
0:25:04 > 0:25:07least they can do is put their hands in their pockets.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10Aye, but we can't make 'em, can we?
0:25:10 > 0:25:14- You know your little house, up Barkisland.- Yeah.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16Have y'ever thought of getting it valued,
0:25:16 > 0:25:20and then asking Darren and Kimberley if they'd like to buy it?
0:25:20 > 0:25:22Then you'd not be turfing them out.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25No. No, I hadn't thought of that.
0:25:25 > 0:25:28Is it something you'd consider?
0:25:28 > 0:25:31In theory. In practice I doubt it's something they could afford to do.
0:25:31 > 0:25:32Well, you don't know.
0:25:34 > 0:25:38They might have parents that'd like to try to help them along.
0:25:38 > 0:25:40I can ask. But what'd be t'point?
0:25:40 > 0:25:44If you're thinking of investing more money in Caroline's house?
0:25:46 > 0:25:50You realise the alternative is you and me forever flitting
0:25:50 > 0:25:52between Harrogate and Halifax.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56Wouldn't it be nice to have somewhere of our own?
0:25:56 > 0:25:58Well, it would, but...
0:25:58 > 0:26:02I think you should tell Darren and Kimberley that
0:26:02 > 0:26:05your circumstances've changed, and you need the capital
0:26:05 > 0:26:09out of that house, whether they can afford to buy it or not.
0:26:09 > 0:26:10Do you?
0:26:12 > 0:26:14What's so funny?
0:26:14 > 0:26:16You like home truths, don't you?
0:26:16 > 0:26:19- Now and again. - You like to call a spade a spade.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21Yes, I do.
0:26:21 > 0:26:23And here's some more...
0:26:23 > 0:26:25I know you think Raff should stop on at school,
0:26:25 > 0:26:28and I do understand why.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31But the fact is, he's muckied his ticket.
0:26:31 > 0:26:34And if you don't let him take responsibility for it,
0:26:34 > 0:26:35he'll never grow up.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37- Is that right? - You know it is.
0:26:37 > 0:26:39Do you know what I think?
0:26:39 > 0:26:40Fire away.
0:26:40 > 0:26:44I think you ought to tell Caroline to paddle her own canoe,
0:26:44 > 0:26:47and cut her coat according to her cloth.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49Nobody needs a house that big.
0:26:49 > 0:26:50There's only four of 'em,
0:26:50 > 0:26:54and William'll be off to university at the end of the summer.
0:26:54 > 0:26:56- He'll be back in the holidays. - Oh come on, Celia!
0:26:56 > 0:27:01Her and Kate between 'em, they must earn a six figure salary.
0:27:01 > 0:27:02Well, I've no idea.
0:27:02 > 0:27:06Easily. Caroline probably earns that on her own.
0:27:06 > 0:27:10Why should she expect money from you as well?
0:27:10 > 0:27:13Caroline was very good to me after Kenneth died.
0:27:13 > 0:27:15I'm sure she were, but now,
0:27:15 > 0:27:19eight years on, your circumstances have changed.
0:27:19 > 0:27:20She should sell that house
0:27:20 > 0:27:25and find somewhere just as lovely only happen a bit smaller.
0:27:30 > 0:27:33You do realise if you keep taking that baby out so much,
0:27:33 > 0:27:37it's going to get very confused about who its mother is.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40I'm serious!
0:27:50 > 0:27:52What time will Gillian be home?
0:27:52 > 0:27:54She's on t'late shift down at Greenhough's.
0:27:54 > 0:27:57They close at eight, she's generally back by 20 past.
0:27:57 > 0:27:58Is there anything I can be doing?
0:27:58 > 0:28:00No, you're all right love.
0:28:03 > 0:28:05It had a grand big sitting room.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08They're very sought-after properties them up there.
0:28:08 > 0:28:10- Are they?- Oh, aye. It'd be a good investment, if nowt else.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13It won't hang around, even wi' t'property market like it is.
0:28:13 > 0:28:18I do like round here. I suppose it feels like coming home.
0:28:18 > 0:28:20Well, it is, isn't it?
0:28:20 > 0:28:23Nearly. Elland was our stomping ground.
0:28:23 > 0:28:25What's Alan think?
0:28:25 > 0:28:29Oh, he was just as taken with it as I was.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32Are they all right now? Gillian and Alan?
0:28:32 > 0:28:36Gillian and Alan? Yeah, I think so.
0:28:36 > 0:28:39Cos you know she were really upset.
0:28:39 > 0:28:42Oh, she was just bothered cos we got married without telling anyone.
0:28:42 > 0:28:44No, I mean before.
0:28:44 > 0:28:46That whole two weeks when you were over in Harrogate,
0:28:46 > 0:28:49there were summat up.
0:28:49 > 0:28:53Oh...something about Eileen. Her mother.
0:28:53 > 0:28:55Something about being disappointed...
0:28:57 > 0:28:58Oh, I know what it was.
0:29:00 > 0:29:03Gillian had an abortion, apparently, when she was 15.
0:29:03 > 0:29:08She had to leave school and, oh, it all got brought up again,
0:29:08 > 0:29:10and it all seemed to be about that,
0:29:10 > 0:29:12but don't say anything love.
0:29:12 > 0:29:15I assume Raff doesn't know.
0:29:15 > 0:29:17And what upset Gillian
0:29:17 > 0:29:20was Alan saying how disappointed her mother was.
0:29:21 > 0:29:26That's all, it's all water under t'bridge now, so.
0:29:27 > 0:29:29I spoke to Greg.
0:29:30 > 0:29:32You spoke to him? How?
0:29:32 > 0:29:35He rang this afternoon. Just before you got back from work.
0:29:35 > 0:29:37He wants to pop over for my birthday.
0:29:40 > 0:29:42Actually on your birthday?
0:29:43 > 0:29:45Well...
0:29:46 > 0:29:49OK, but what if I'd made plans for your birthday?
0:29:49 > 0:29:51Have you?
0:29:51 > 0:29:55You didn't, you didn't...what... You didn't talk to him about...?
0:29:55 > 0:29:57- I mentioned it. - Mentioned it how?
0:29:57 > 0:30:00Well, I explained. What we've discussed, and he said...
0:30:00 > 0:30:03yeah, that he'd be more than happy to help out.
0:30:03 > 0:30:05We've not made any, you know, plans.
0:30:05 > 0:30:08Obviously. I said, obviously, you'd want to meet him first.
0:30:10 > 0:30:12I've booked a hotel for a couple of nights.
0:30:12 > 0:30:14Caroline.
0:30:14 > 0:30:16Do you want me to cancel it?
0:30:16 > 0:30:18No, oh, no...
0:30:18 > 0:30:21but I want you to meet him. Soon.
0:30:23 > 0:30:26- Where is it? The hotel. - You're not suggesting...?
0:30:26 > 0:30:29He could just meet us for a drink. I'm not suggesting that we do the...
0:30:29 > 0:30:32No, I'm just suggesting that you meet him. Get to know him.
0:30:32 > 0:30:34- I don't need to get to know him. - You need to meet him.
0:30:41 > 0:30:43- It's a bad idea. - No. It's not. It's...
0:30:49 > 0:30:53Fine, ask him for a drink. Maybe it's better that we meet him there,
0:30:53 > 0:30:56- rather than here.- What's the matter? - What's the matter is that
0:30:56 > 0:30:59you're going to get pregnant, possibly, with someone else, which
0:30:59 > 0:31:02is fine in so far as you can't get pregnant with me,
0:31:02 > 0:31:04but beyond that... It's...less fine.
0:31:04 > 0:31:07There are things that I haven't...
0:31:07 > 0:31:09processed, yet.
0:31:11 > 0:31:14I assume I don't need to spell them out.
0:31:14 > 0:31:16It is the most likely way for it to work.
0:31:19 > 0:31:24You do know that whatever way, it's kind of unlikely, don't you?
0:31:24 > 0:31:29I know the odds aren't great. Yes. I want to try though, Caroline.
0:31:29 > 0:31:31And I'm terrified of leaving it any longer.
0:31:31 > 0:31:33What if it doesn't happen?
0:31:33 > 0:31:36- I'll deal with it. - You'll get upset.- Well...
0:31:36 > 0:31:39It's better to try and fail again
0:31:39 > 0:31:41before I give up for good, though, isn't it?
0:31:43 > 0:31:45You've got a fantastic career.
0:31:45 > 0:31:48You'll be the next head of languages - you will, no contest -
0:31:48 > 0:31:52you could be a deputy head in a few very short years.
0:31:52 > 0:31:54You've got what it takes, Kate.
0:31:56 > 0:31:58I want to be somebody's mum.
0:32:05 > 0:32:06Do you think we should get married?
0:32:10 > 0:32:12Don't be daft.
0:32:52 > 0:32:56- Hiya! - Casserole for y'all in the oven.
0:32:56 > 0:32:58Are you not stopping?
0:32:58 > 0:33:00No, I'm... I've got stuff to do at home.
0:33:00 > 0:33:03What's up?
0:33:03 > 0:33:05Did you have an abortion when you were 15?
0:33:10 > 0:33:11Was it mine?
0:33:13 > 0:33:14Yeah.
0:33:16 > 0:33:19Who's...? How's...?
0:33:19 > 0:33:20Celia.
0:33:21 > 0:33:25- Celia?- Just...chatting. Just asked her why you and Alan fell out
0:33:25 > 0:33:27when he stayed over in Harrogate.
0:33:27 > 0:33:29You haven't to think, there was, I never...
0:33:29 > 0:33:31Why did you never tell me?
0:33:31 > 0:33:32I was 15.
0:33:35 > 0:33:36I'd forgotten.
0:33:37 > 0:33:40It'd have been 30-odd now.
0:33:40 > 0:33:4131.
0:33:41 > 0:33:45I could never have had it. There were no point telling you.
0:33:45 > 0:33:46No.
0:33:48 > 0:33:50- I'm sorry.- No, I'm just...
0:33:51 > 0:33:54I just never knew. I'd been a dad.
0:33:54 > 0:33:56You weren't.
0:33:56 > 0:34:00And then... you went off with our Eddie.
0:34:02 > 0:34:04I'm not being funny, but I'm off home.
0:34:04 > 0:34:07Right. And are you coming back?
0:34:07 > 0:34:08- Not tonight. - Will you ring me?
0:34:11 > 0:34:12Are you dumping me?
0:34:13 > 0:34:15I just don't want to be here. For a bit.
0:34:18 > 0:34:20So, how is this "not being funny"? Then.
0:34:20 > 0:34:24If you're "just going home"? Are you feeling sorry for yourself?
0:34:24 > 0:34:26Cos I was the one that had to leave school,
0:34:26 > 0:34:29I was the one that never got a crack at their A levels.
0:34:29 > 0:34:31And I could've done, I wasn't thick.
0:34:31 > 0:34:34I never told you, but I never inflicted anything on you either.
0:34:34 > 0:34:36I'm going home.
0:34:36 > 0:34:38Right.
0:34:51 > 0:34:53(What a bitch.)
0:34:53 > 0:34:56DOOR SLAMS AND POTS CLATTER
0:35:02 > 0:35:03Is that you, love?
0:35:03 > 0:35:05Yeah.
0:35:05 > 0:35:07Yeah.
0:35:08 > 0:35:10- Yeah, it's me. - I fell asleep.
0:35:10 > 0:35:13So did I.
0:35:13 > 0:35:15Supper's ready. Where's Ellie?
0:35:15 > 0:35:17Do you want to give her a shout?
0:35:21 > 0:35:23- Robbie's gone. - Has he?
0:35:23 > 0:35:24Shall I set the table, love?
0:35:24 > 0:35:28He's cooked everybody's tea, and now he's gone.
0:35:28 > 0:35:30I didn't know he was here.
0:35:30 > 0:35:31You did.
0:35:31 > 0:35:32Did I?
0:35:32 > 0:35:34Oh, he's been asleep.
0:35:34 > 0:35:36He's gone, and he's not in a very good mood.
0:35:36 > 0:35:38Has somebody said something to him?
0:35:38 > 0:35:40What about?
0:35:40 > 0:35:43- Me.- How do you mean?- Oh.- What?
0:35:44 > 0:35:50Celia told Robbie that I had an abortion when I was 15.
0:35:54 > 0:35:56Well, the thing is,
0:35:56 > 0:35:59he asked me why you and your dad'd fallen out, so...
0:35:59 > 0:36:01- It was his.- Whose?
0:36:01 > 0:36:03- Robbie's.- Robbie...?
0:36:03 > 0:36:06So, and he never knew and now he does.
0:36:06 > 0:36:09- So, he's gone.- Robbie?
0:36:09 > 0:36:12I used to see him before I started seeing Eddie.
0:36:12 > 0:36:15Well, I...I didn't know that.
0:36:15 > 0:36:17Why were you telling him stuff about me anyway?
0:36:17 > 0:36:19Hey, just...let's just calm down.
0:36:21 > 0:36:24I'd no idea.
0:36:24 > 0:36:28Yeah. But what you do know, Celia, what you must know,
0:36:28 > 0:36:33is that at the best of times that is a pretty indiscreet thing
0:36:33 > 0:36:35to be saying about somebody to people.
0:36:35 > 0:36:39She didn't know. I mean, I didn't know.
0:36:39 > 0:36:40Yeah, but you get the bigger point?
0:36:40 > 0:36:43She says she doesn't want any tea, she says she's not hungry.
0:36:43 > 0:36:46I'm sorry. I am sorry, Gillian.
0:36:46 > 0:36:47Well, he's gone anyway.
0:36:49 > 0:36:50You know what?
0:36:50 > 0:36:53I mean, that is...you're...
0:36:54 > 0:36:57It's poisonous. Saying something like that.
0:36:57 > 0:37:00I mean, you don't even know us. You don't know me.
0:37:00 > 0:37:04To say something like that to somebody
0:37:04 > 0:37:09when you've got no idea of the consequences...
0:37:09 > 0:37:10Gillian.
0:37:10 > 0:37:11What's going on?
0:37:11 > 0:37:14Perhaps you'd like to tell our Raff as well, Celia?
0:37:14 > 0:37:15Tell me what?
0:37:15 > 0:37:18Look. I've said I'm sorry. If I'd known I'd not have...
0:37:18 > 0:37:21I had an abortion when I was 15. Didn't I, Celia?
0:37:21 > 0:37:23Do you want to go up and tell Ellie as well?
0:37:23 > 0:37:25Who did? You did?
0:37:25 > 0:37:26Yeah.
0:37:26 > 0:37:28- You did?- Yeah.
0:37:32 > 0:37:35It was Robbie's and he never knew.
0:37:35 > 0:37:38But he does now, because Celia's just told him,
0:37:38 > 0:37:39and now he's gone.
0:37:42 > 0:37:45Robbie? Not me dad?
0:37:45 > 0:37:47Ellie needs to eat.
0:37:47 > 0:37:50She can't not eat, it's only been a week since she gave birth.
0:37:50 > 0:37:54Now, go upstairs and tell her to come down here. Now. Go on.
0:37:54 > 0:37:57Look, I'm wondering if it was better if I went home to Harrogate.
0:37:57 > 0:38:00No, it's fine. Look, Celia made a mistake.
0:38:00 > 0:38:01She's apologised.
0:38:01 > 0:38:04Oh, that's all right then.
0:38:04 > 0:38:06Look, I think I will, I'm popping upstairs to get my things.
0:38:06 > 0:38:10- What if I went and talked to Robbie? - No.
0:38:10 > 0:38:12- Were he cross?- Quiet.
0:38:12 > 0:38:15Well, then why don't I just pop down to his house and...
0:38:15 > 0:38:17- No. I've said. You leave it. - I'm going.
0:38:19 > 0:38:22Well, if Celia's going back to Harrogate, I'll be going with her.
0:38:22 > 0:38:25You know...I don't recognise you any more.
0:38:25 > 0:38:30Going looking at dozy big bungalows that you know you can't afford...
0:38:30 > 0:38:32Go get your things.
0:38:32 > 0:38:35Chucking your money away on flash cars that eat petrol and
0:38:35 > 0:38:37bugger up the environment. Not wanting anybody there
0:38:37 > 0:38:41when you get wed. Me, Raff, your mates. Why? Eh? Why?
0:38:41 > 0:38:43That is so not you.
0:38:44 > 0:38:49And, you know, I have to be frank...
0:38:49 > 0:38:52Dad, I don't like it.
0:38:52 > 0:38:55I'm aware of that...
0:38:55 > 0:38:57I'm increasingly aware of it.
0:38:58 > 0:39:01Shall I tell you something? I have spent my life watching you
0:39:01 > 0:39:04go after unsuitable beggars one after other!
0:39:04 > 0:39:07You know what me and your mother always used to say?
0:39:07 > 0:39:09Don't say stuff about my mum.
0:39:09 > 0:39:13"Oh, aye, our Gillian, she always used to pick 'em."
0:39:13 > 0:39:15Like it were funny.
0:39:15 > 0:39:17But it weren't.
0:39:17 > 0:39:19And have I ever fallen out with you about it?
0:39:19 > 0:39:22Ever? All bloody stupid stuff you did.
0:39:22 > 0:39:26All the bloody dozy stuff Eddie did. No.
0:39:27 > 0:39:30I were here all the time, whenever you needed me.
0:39:31 > 0:39:35You know what I'm talking about. So, don't you dare...
0:39:35 > 0:39:38- She's a shit-stirrer! - DON'T YOU DARE
0:39:38 > 0:39:41say ANYTHING about Celia to me.
0:39:58 > 0:40:02"Poisonous." I could've been in tears.
0:40:02 > 0:40:05Do you want me to get involved? Do you want me to ring her?
0:40:05 > 0:40:08- No. - I'm off! Oh, hello, Celia.
0:40:08 > 0:40:11- Hello, love. - See you there.
0:40:11 > 0:40:12Yeah.
0:40:12 > 0:40:14OK, bye.
0:40:18 > 0:40:20Is Alan all right? Is he here?
0:40:20 > 0:40:23We drove back last night. Did you not hear us?
0:40:23 > 0:40:26- How is he? - I think he's had enough of her.
0:40:26 > 0:40:28I think, between you and me,
0:40:28 > 0:40:31it sounds like she's been a bit of a bloody nuisance all her life.
0:40:31 > 0:40:33Never at school.
0:40:33 > 0:40:36This is after she went back, after the abortion.
0:40:37 > 0:40:40Always over in Manchester at night.
0:40:40 > 0:40:44Pink hair, green eyebrows, studs everywhere.
0:40:45 > 0:40:49Course this was when she started bothering with him.
0:40:49 > 0:40:50Eddie.
0:40:50 > 0:40:52Bloody Eddie.
0:40:53 > 0:40:57Then a few other little incidents - shoplifting, joyriding.
0:40:57 > 0:40:58It was all him.
0:40:58 > 0:41:01But she were just daft enough to go along with it.
0:41:02 > 0:41:07And who was it used to have to go doing all the apologising,
0:41:07 > 0:41:11making amends and pointing out that she wasn't from a bad home,
0:41:11 > 0:41:15she'd had a perfectly good upbringing, thank you...
0:41:15 > 0:41:18..and we were just as upset and bemused
0:41:18 > 0:41:20by t'way she carried on as anyone else.
0:41:21 > 0:41:23Well...
0:41:23 > 0:41:27I'm sorry you've had it all to put up with.
0:41:27 > 0:41:28Aye, well...
0:41:30 > 0:41:32Makes you wonder why you bother.
0:41:34 > 0:41:37Well, that can't be any good for him. Not with his condition.
0:41:37 > 0:41:38He's fine, he says.
0:41:38 > 0:41:41He says as long as he's with me, nothing else matters.
0:41:41 > 0:41:43I might ring her.
0:41:43 > 0:41:46Oh, I wouldn't. You know she doesn't like you.
0:41:48 > 0:41:50You shouldn't say things like that.
0:41:50 > 0:41:52She's right jealous of you.
0:41:52 > 0:41:54Oh, I don't...I've never...
0:41:54 > 0:41:56You don't see it.
0:41:56 > 0:41:58Right, well, OK. I'll keep out of it then.
0:42:00 > 0:42:02Mum!
0:42:02 > 0:42:03Morning.
0:42:03 > 0:42:04Phone!
0:42:05 > 0:42:06Who is it?
0:42:06 > 0:42:08It's for you.
0:42:08 > 0:42:10SHEEP BLEAT
0:42:17 > 0:42:18Who?
0:42:18 > 0:42:20Have you seen Ellie?
0:42:22 > 0:42:25Bit early for Ellie, isn't it? Who is it?
0:42:25 > 0:42:27She's not upstairs. She's not downstairs.
0:42:27 > 0:42:29Her stuff's gone.
0:42:29 > 0:42:30Well, she can't have just...?
0:42:30 > 0:42:33I've rung her number. There's no answer.
0:42:33 > 0:42:36- Well, when did she? I were up at six o' clock.- No idea.
0:42:37 > 0:42:39- Have you rung her mother's number? - No.
0:42:39 > 0:42:41Right. I will.
0:42:41 > 0:42:43Not that I imagine it'll do me any good.
0:42:43 > 0:42:46What're we going to with...?
0:42:46 > 0:42:49I'm on a shift at Greenhough's this aft.
0:42:49 > 0:42:51Well, I'm going to have to stop at home then.
0:42:51 > 0:42:53No. That's...no. You're going to school.
0:42:55 > 0:42:59But you've fallen out wi' me grandad again, haven't you, so...?
0:42:59 > 0:43:01We'll manage. Won't we.
0:43:02 > 0:43:06- Eh?- How?- Little Flossie.
0:43:06 > 0:43:08How will you manage?
0:43:08 > 0:43:11I'll manage. You're going to school.
0:43:11 > 0:43:13- Hello? - Gillian. It's Caroline.
0:43:13 > 0:43:15Go get ready, pack your bag.
0:43:15 > 0:43:16(I mean it...)
0:43:17 > 0:43:19Hello?
0:43:19 > 0:43:20It's Caroline.
0:43:22 > 0:43:24Caroline.
0:43:24 > 0:43:27Sorry, are you busy, is this a bad time?
0:43:27 > 0:43:30- What do you want? - If it's a bad time I'll ring later.
0:43:30 > 0:43:34We've a lot on, it's best to just spit it out.
0:43:34 > 0:43:37OK. Well, look...
0:43:37 > 0:43:41..obviously, I don't know everything that's been said, but...
0:43:41 > 0:43:45..my Mum came round this morning, and, um...
0:43:45 > 0:43:48..well, she was upset.
0:43:48 > 0:43:50Was she.
0:43:50 > 0:43:51(Why?) Shh.
0:43:51 > 0:43:55I think she knows she's put her foot in it, Gillian.
0:43:55 > 0:43:58Yeah. Large style, big time.
0:43:58 > 0:43:59The thing is...
0:43:59 > 0:44:02she delves. I've lived with it all my life,
0:44:02 > 0:44:06and I know that's possibly of no comfort or...
0:44:06 > 0:44:09I, on the other hand, haven't, and I don't intend to start now.
0:44:09 > 0:44:12OK, but can I just say that
0:44:12 > 0:44:15she is very sorry and she is very upset.
0:44:17 > 0:44:18Gillian?
0:44:20 > 0:44:23- How's the baby? - It's...
0:44:30 > 0:44:32It's a baby.
0:44:32 > 0:44:35Yeah, well...
0:44:35 > 0:44:37Babies are, aren't they?
0:44:37 > 0:44:40I don't know what the hell I'm doing.
0:44:40 > 0:44:42I don't know whether I'm coming or going, Caroline.
0:44:42 > 0:44:44I don't know which way's up.
0:44:45 > 0:44:49You're tired. I can hear it in your voice.
0:44:49 > 0:44:51I'm sorry I had a go at your mother,
0:44:51 > 0:44:54but, conversely, on the other hand,
0:44:54 > 0:44:57I'm sorry she put me in a position where I had to.
0:44:57 > 0:45:00I know, I know. I do know, Gillian.
0:45:02 > 0:45:04I don't suppose there's anything I can do?
0:45:04 > 0:45:06Make excuses for me.
0:45:06 > 0:45:08Tell her I'm mental.
0:45:08 > 0:45:12Hormonal. Round the bloody bend.
0:45:12 > 0:45:14Will everything be all right? With Robbie?
0:45:14 > 0:45:16(Which one's Robbie?)
0:45:16 > 0:45:18- (Shh) I dunno...- (Policeman.)
0:45:18 > 0:45:21..he's not rung me. And I've not rung him. So...
0:45:21 > 0:45:23But, you know.
0:45:24 > 0:45:26I've got to go, Caroline.
0:45:26 > 0:45:29I've a thousand and million-one things to do.
0:45:33 > 0:45:35Is me dad all right?
0:45:35 > 0:45:38Yeah! Yeah. I will keep an eye on him.
0:45:39 > 0:45:41I appreciate you ringing.
0:45:41 > 0:45:43Call me. Any time.
0:45:44 > 0:45:46Thanks.
0:45:47 > 0:45:49- Bye.- Bye.- Bye.
0:45:56 > 0:46:01That...was your Auntie Caroline.
0:46:03 > 0:46:04But right now...
0:46:08 > 0:46:10..it's just you and me, kid.
0:46:28 > 0:46:32That's terrific. Well, I'll start the ball rolling, then.
0:46:38 > 0:46:41And I'm pleased for you, both of you.
0:46:41 > 0:46:46It's a big thing, yeah, it's a step forward.
0:46:46 > 0:46:47(Who you talking to?)
0:46:47 > 0:46:50OK, love. OK, will do.
0:46:51 > 0:46:53Ta-ta.
0:46:54 > 0:46:56It's Kimberley.
0:46:56 > 0:46:58Darren's got his hours back at the garage,
0:46:58 > 0:46:59and she's spoken to her mum and,
0:46:59 > 0:47:02subject to us agreeing a price, they would like to try
0:47:02 > 0:47:03and raise a mortgage and buy it.
0:47:03 > 0:47:05Oh!
0:47:06 > 0:47:09Are you absolutely sure it's what you want to do?
0:47:09 > 0:47:12Yeah, I think so, yeah.
0:47:12 > 0:47:17I'm not forcing you, I'm not leaning on you, I'm not manipulating you.
0:47:17 > 0:47:20You can manipulate me any time you like.
0:47:20 > 0:47:22What about Gillian?
0:47:22 > 0:47:25Bugger Gillian. What about her?
0:47:25 > 0:47:27I don't like all this bad feeling.
0:47:27 > 0:47:32I need to ring an estate agent and get an idea of a fair price.
0:47:32 > 0:47:34And it was my fault.
0:47:34 > 0:47:38You apologised. I offered to go see Robbie. Forget her.
0:47:40 > 0:47:43I think I might break it to Caroline that I'm putting my money
0:47:43 > 0:47:46elsewhere after they come back from their mucky weekend.
0:47:46 > 0:47:49What mucky weekend?
0:47:49 > 0:47:50Oh, that reminds me.
0:47:50 > 0:47:53They're going off on a mucky weekend.
0:47:53 > 0:47:57I'm taking Kate to a nice little hotel for the weekend, next weekend,
0:47:57 > 0:47:59just for her birthday.
0:47:59 > 0:48:00It's Kate's birthday,
0:48:00 > 0:48:03so she's taking her somewhere posh for a mucky weekend.
0:48:03 > 0:48:06Granny will be here. Granny and Alan.
0:48:06 > 0:48:08Right.
0:48:08 > 0:48:09Right.
0:48:09 > 0:48:12And William, but he'll be working, so...
0:48:12 > 0:48:15We're baby-sitting the boys. I did tell you.
0:48:15 > 0:48:17OK?
0:48:17 > 0:48:18Whatever.
0:48:18 > 0:48:21Not that they need baby-sitting at their age.
0:48:21 > 0:48:23I mustn't have been listening.
0:48:23 > 0:48:24Men don't.
0:48:24 > 0:48:26Right, Mrs Buttershaw.
0:48:26 > 0:48:29I need to do one or two more sums, so we can weigh up
0:48:29 > 0:48:32what sort of offer we'd be in a position to make. Hmm?
0:48:33 > 0:48:35Then I might take you out for lunch.
0:48:35 > 0:48:37Oh.
0:48:43 > 0:48:46Why don't you and Miss Mackenzie drive to school together?
0:48:48 > 0:48:51Because we don't always finish work at the same time.
0:48:51 > 0:48:52Please call her Kate.
0:48:54 > 0:48:56Everyone knows, you know.
0:48:57 > 0:48:59And you need to stop kidding yourself.
0:48:59 > 0:49:01cos you just look like a hypocrite.
0:49:01 > 0:49:03Which is not a cool message to be sending out to the
0:49:03 > 0:49:06two-point-seven percent of kids in this school who will one day
0:49:06 > 0:49:08turn out to be muff-munching, shirt-lifters.
0:49:11 > 0:49:13I'll see you later.
0:49:24 > 0:49:28She's taking Mackenzie off on a dirty weekend next weekend.
0:49:28 > 0:49:29My Granny's looking after us.
0:49:29 > 0:49:32Do you want to come round and watch Reservoir Dogs and get pissed
0:49:32 > 0:49:35- and trash the place?- Yeah.
0:50:08 > 0:50:09Hello.
0:50:09 > 0:50:10Hi.
0:50:12 > 0:50:14So...
0:50:14 > 0:50:16- Thanks for coming. - No problem.
0:50:19 > 0:50:20Tea?
0:50:39 > 0:50:41So, where's Ellie gone? Do we know?
0:50:41 > 0:50:44I rang her mum and she said she had no idea,
0:50:44 > 0:50:47but then Harry phoned a bit later and said she was there.
0:50:47 > 0:50:50At her mother's. Silly bitch.
0:50:50 > 0:50:52Are you all right?
0:50:52 > 0:50:53Well...
0:50:54 > 0:50:58everyone's fallen out with me, again, so...
0:51:01 > 0:51:06I'm kind of up shit creek without a paddle, again...
0:51:06 > 0:51:08..so, God, I don't know...
0:51:11 > 0:51:13It's a bit mad, isn't it?
0:51:15 > 0:51:17You and me.
0:51:19 > 0:51:21Well, I don't know. It's not very much madder than
0:51:21 > 0:51:23almost everything else that's happened.
0:51:25 > 0:51:27I'm wondering if you're right.
0:51:28 > 0:51:31About Robbie.
0:51:31 > 0:51:32Me and Robbie.
0:51:33 > 0:51:35Really?
0:51:35 > 0:51:37It's not just. It's...
0:51:41 > 0:51:42SHE SIGHS
0:51:44 > 0:51:46I did this thing once.
0:51:49 > 0:51:51I've never told anyone.
0:51:52 > 0:51:54Except me dad knows.
0:51:54 > 0:51:55What thing?
0:51:57 > 0:51:58It was when Eddie died.
0:52:04 > 0:52:06To us.
0:52:08 > 0:52:11I could get used to this, given another five minutes.
0:52:11 > 0:52:13I think I already have.
0:52:15 > 0:52:17To the manor born.
0:52:17 > 0:52:18The good life.
0:52:18 > 0:52:20Till death do us part.
0:52:24 > 0:52:26I love you.
0:52:26 > 0:52:27I love you.
0:52:30 > 0:52:32I'm still feeling guilty.
0:52:32 > 0:52:34So, don't.
0:52:34 > 0:52:36I didn't even know she knew Robbie then.
0:52:36 > 0:52:38Let it go.
0:52:38 > 0:52:40I can't come between you and her.
0:52:40 > 0:52:43It's, I'd...I can't do that.
0:52:45 > 0:52:46I want to tell you summat.
0:52:51 > 0:52:54I nearly did once before but...
0:52:54 > 0:52:57I couldn't, so I told you only half a tale.
0:52:58 > 0:53:00It were when Eddie died.
0:53:02 > 0:53:05I should've called an ambulance.
0:53:08 > 0:53:09And I didn't.
0:53:09 > 0:53:13And I'm telling you because... it's been a burden to me for years.
0:53:15 > 0:53:18He'd smashed his head open
0:53:18 > 0:53:20with the log splitter down in t'barn.
0:53:22 > 0:53:25And when I met you that day in Skipton...
0:53:25 > 0:53:28and I remembered how much I was in love with you.
0:53:28 > 0:53:30I was so happy.
0:53:30 > 0:53:32So properly happy.
0:53:32 > 0:53:34Like I hadn't been for years.
0:53:35 > 0:53:38With this... business weighing me down.
0:53:38 > 0:53:40So, what happened?
0:53:41 > 0:53:42He'd done it on purpose...
0:53:43 > 0:53:44he wanted to die.
0:53:46 > 0:53:49But when I found him, he wasn't dead.
0:53:51 > 0:53:54And I should've called an ambulance, but I didn't.
0:53:56 > 0:53:59I should've helped him and instead...
0:54:02 > 0:54:04..I just watched him die.
0:54:04 > 0:54:06I told you she didn't call an ambulance,
0:54:06 > 0:54:08but it were worse than that.
0:54:11 > 0:54:13She'd finished him off...
0:54:14 > 0:54:15..with a block of wood.
0:54:18 > 0:54:19She killed him.
0:54:21 > 0:54:22She said...
0:54:23 > 0:54:25..she'd put him out of his misery.
0:54:30 > 0:54:33There was nothing anybody could've done for him.
0:54:37 > 0:54:39And I'm telling you this because...
0:54:41 > 0:54:45I'd be nervous about getting in any deeper with Robbie, anyway.
0:54:45 > 0:54:49Robbie knew. He tried to get her arrested,
0:54:49 > 0:54:50but he couldn't prove owt.
0:54:52 > 0:54:53He was very fond of Eddie.
0:54:56 > 0:54:59They were adopted, there was only ever the pair of 'em.
0:55:03 > 0:55:06Only person in the world who ever mattered to him, really, was Eddie.
0:55:10 > 0:55:12And me.
0:55:16 > 0:55:18And I let Eddie die.
0:55:23 > 0:55:25So, how did you know?
0:55:25 > 0:55:28Well, she told me. Soon as I got there.
0:55:28 > 0:55:30I'm sorry I didn't tell you the truth before.
0:55:30 > 0:55:33But I couldn't, I've never told anyone.
0:55:33 > 0:55:36I didn't tell Eileen. I couldn't have told Eileen.
0:55:37 > 0:55:40So, we came up with this tale.
0:55:40 > 0:55:42I used to have nightmares after.
0:55:44 > 0:55:45I still do.
0:55:51 > 0:55:52I sometimes wonder...
0:55:53 > 0:55:55If it weren't...
0:55:56 > 0:55:57..even suicide.
0:56:02 > 0:56:04Although that's what coroner said.
0:56:06 > 0:56:09The point is I've done enough for her over the years -
0:56:09 > 0:56:13apologising, covering stuff up and now I'm happy...
0:56:14 > 0:56:17..like I never imagined I would be
0:56:17 > 0:56:20or deserved to be ever again.
0:56:22 > 0:56:26And now we're buying this bungalow
0:56:26 > 0:56:28and I'm putting all that behind me.
0:56:28 > 0:56:29I'm sorry.
0:56:32 > 0:56:34Yep.
0:56:34 > 0:56:35Blimey.
0:56:38 > 0:56:39I am...
0:56:40 > 0:56:44very fond of you. And...I do think we could...
0:56:47 > 0:56:49..be good for each other.
0:56:52 > 0:56:56I'm going to look after the baby while you do your shift at Greenhough's.
0:56:57 > 0:56:59You sure?
0:56:59 > 0:57:00Go to work.
0:57:02 > 0:57:04I can do babies.
0:57:06 > 0:57:07I'm very good with babies.
0:57:21 > 0:57:23BABY GURGLES
0:57:25 > 0:57:28So, you're her are you? You're the whore.
0:57:28 > 0:57:31- Greg!- Kate.
0:57:31 > 0:57:34- You're on the birth certificate as the father?- Well, not yet.
0:57:34 > 0:57:36Oh, well, you want to sort that out.
0:57:36 > 0:57:39Celia, it's William. He's in Outpatients.
0:57:39 > 0:57:41Outpatients?
0:57:41 > 0:57:44You are unbelievable, you know that, don't you?
0:57:44 > 0:57:46Somebody with a good heart like you shouldn't have
0:57:46 > 0:57:48skeletons in their cupboard.
0:57:48 > 0:57:49I'm looking for John. Is he here?
0:57:49 > 0:57:52I want to have a child, I want to get on with it.
0:57:52 > 0:57:54Something's happened. I need you to tell him something.
0:57:54 > 0:57:57Bless you, you were one of life's treasures.
