0:10:05 > 0:10:09- Don't talk daft. She's your sister. - No, Dad, she'd be entitled.
0:10:11 > 0:10:12And we'd have to move out
0:10:12 > 0:10:14because we couldn't buy her share of the house.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18Well, in that case, I'll sign it over to you then.

0:12:37 > 0:12:39- And now you're all on your own... - No, don't worry.
0:12:39 > 0:12:43Anyway, we've decided on something that's going to help us all.

0:12:56 > 0:12:58Oh.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02Oh, right. No, that's a great idea, yes.

0:13:04 > 0:13:07I've been worried about how I was going to juggle everything.
0:13:07 > 0:13:08That's a huge weight off my mind.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11- Exactly. So you don't have to do anything.- Yep.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16Yeah...that's a real relief, that. Yeah.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20You don't know how busy I've been at work lately.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22I'm running around 24/7. It's been hard.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24Well, we can do all the running around here then.

0:13:28 > 0:13:30All this space!
0:13:31 > 0:13:33Well, it certainly is plenty to look after.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35But it'll be worth it, won't it?
0:13:35 > 0:13:37I mean, this is such a lovely area.
0:13:37 > 0:13:41- We'll miss the old place, actually. - Really?
0:13:41 > 0:13:42Yeah. You'll soon see the benefit.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45I mean, the schools here are excellent.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47We were happy with St Pat's.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50Ofsted was never going to rate that "Outstanding".
0:13:50 > 0:13:52We're doing this for your mum and dad, Theresa.
0:13:52 > 0:13:53She knows Dad'll be looked after.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59Well, yeah, good. Sorted.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01It seems perfect for everyone, doesn't it?

0:14:54 > 0:14:58You'll have to have my bag on your lap - no room.

0:15:34 > 0:15:37Our head teacher is seriously ill, so...
0:15:37 > 0:15:38Obviously, that's not the good news,
0:15:38 > 0:15:42but it does mean she's going to be retiring early.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45So as from next term, I'll be...
0:15:45 > 0:15:47Head teacher?!
0:15:49 > 0:15:50How about that!

0:16:55 > 0:16:57Sorry.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01- Come on, you two. - Where are you going?
0:17:01 > 0:17:04Going to the supermarket. I promised them ice cream.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07- But I've made tiramisu! - You two can catch up.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11- Come on.- See ya!

0:17:47 > 0:17:50..when Dad...passes on...
0:17:52 > 0:17:54- Um... - Go on.
0:17:59 > 0:18:03We'd have to find 200,000 to pay your share of the house.
0:18:03 > 0:18:04And we don't have that.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08And my works pension's not going to be much, so...
0:18:14 > 0:18:18- So we made an arrangement. - Right. What arrangement?
0:18:20 > 0:18:24Well, we know that you're OK for money. So, Dad...
0:18:29 > 0:18:32He...he gave us the house.
0:18:32 > 0:18:38That means we can look after him, long-term.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40And of course when he gets older,
0:18:40 > 0:18:42- it's going to be much more difficult...- Hang on.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45Are you saying you think this house is some sort of reward
0:18:45 > 0:18:47for looking after him?
0:18:47 > 0:18:49No, I'm doing it because he's my dad.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53- Really?- Yeah, really. Honestly.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56No.
0:18:56 > 0:19:00No. There's no honesty about this at all.
0:19:00 > 0:19:04So you've worked your way out of some pokey little two-up two-down,
0:19:04 > 0:19:06with a postage-stamp back yard,
0:19:06 > 0:19:08into some great big four-bedroom detached house?
0:19:08 > 0:19:10I'm doing it because he's my dad. That's why I'm doing it...
0:19:10 > 0:19:13- Massive garden, tree-lined avenue... - He loves having us here.
0:19:13 > 0:19:14- That's why we're here.- Right.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17- Cos he loves having you around, that's everything?- Listen! Listen!
0:19:17 > 0:19:20You moved away. I've always been here...
0:19:20 > 0:19:22I moved away for my job, Paul!
0:19:22 > 0:19:25And that meant I could help them out financially.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28- With my job, I can't! - Cash-strapped postman. I've heard it.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31- It's not about money. - It's all about the money!
0:19:31 > 0:19:34I decided to have a career, which I have worked really hard for,
0:19:34 > 0:19:37because of that, I've got to give up my share of this house?
0:19:37 > 0:19:40Theresa, you don't need the money and you don't want to move.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43Some people would be grateful we're taking their parents on.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45Listen, listen, you! I gave what I had to give,
0:19:45 > 0:19:47and that happened to be financial.
0:19:47 > 0:19:48You two are a pair of saints, are you?
0:19:48 > 0:19:52- You're saints because you decide to give a bit of time to my dad? - We have no money to give.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55We've never taken anything off anybody.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58No? No? Caribbean holiday, two years ago? Not remember that?
0:19:58 > 0:20:01What? Mum and Dad gave us that. As a treat.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05I paid for that, Paul. I paid for all of you.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08This is about principle.
0:20:08 > 0:20:12You two, you amble through life, not a care in the world.
0:20:12 > 0:20:14Then you think, "Tell you what - let's move in, take the house.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16- "We'll be set for life!" - It's not about that.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18Of course it is. I can see it now.
0:20:18 > 0:20:19You two, conniving together
0:20:19 > 0:20:21on your deceitful, selfish little plan...
0:20:21 > 0:20:22You're the selfish one!
0:20:23 > 0:20:24You write a little cheque,
0:20:24 > 0:20:26you press a button on your little computer
0:20:26 > 0:20:29- and that's it, your job's done. - Don't be stupid!
0:20:29 > 0:20:31I work my day round Mum and Dad.
0:20:31 > 0:20:35You get six weeks off school for summer.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38You've got no work, you've got no kids to go home to,
0:20:39 > 0:20:41and we still never see you.
0:20:55 > 0:20:56Leave it!
0:20:57 > 0:21:00You know what? I'm always here for Mum and Dad.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03You visit on Christmas Day, and that's it.
0:21:03 > 0:21:04- We never see you again until Easter. - Get off!
0:21:05 > 0:21:08Go on, then. Off you go. Like you always do.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10Why don't you come back when you get to grips with it?
0:21:10 > 0:21:13Tell you what - I can look after Dad by myself, thank you very much.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15He's not even your real dad!
0:21:46 > 0:21:48THERESA SNIFFS
0:22:02 > 0:22:04You don't believe her, do you?
0:22:05 > 0:22:06Why would she say it?
0:22:06 > 0:22:09Because she's a horrible, selfish cow!
0:22:09 > 0:22:10DOOR CLICKS SHUT
0:22:12 > 0:22:15- Hiya.- Hiya. You've been ages, where did you go?
0:22:15 > 0:22:18I took them down the Italian. It's proper ice cream there.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20- Are you coming?- Yes!
0:22:21 > 0:22:23- Where's Theresa? - Oh, she had to get off.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26- Oh... - Grandad, come on, we're waiting!
0:22:26 > 0:22:28Yes, I'm coming!
0:22:45 > 0:22:47MOBILE RINGS
0:22:54 > 0:22:55Theresa.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57Don't answer it.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01I can't have kids, Paul.
0:23:03 > 0:23:06We've been trying for years. We've tried everything.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08IVF - we even paid private.
0:23:10 > 0:23:11It's impossible.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13I didn't know.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15No-one knows.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22It's just that...when you said all that stuff
0:23:22 > 0:23:25about summer holidays, with no kids...
0:23:25 > 0:23:28- It just really got to me. - If I'd have known...
0:23:29 > 0:23:32I didn't mean to say what I said about Dad.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37- I was so upset and I was so tired. - Is it true?
0:23:37 > 0:23:39No.
0:23:40 > 0:23:42You and Lisa were ganging up on me, and...
0:23:43 > 0:23:46I didn't know how to get back at you. I didn't know what to say.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48You always know what to say.
0:23:49 > 0:23:50It's not true, Paul.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54Please, you've got to believe me.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08- Please, you've got to believe me... - OK.
0:24:10 > 0:24:11You do?
0:24:15 > 0:24:16Yeah.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20Promise me you'll just forget all about this.
0:24:23 > 0:24:24OK.
0:24:28 > 0:24:29Good.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37I've got to go. We'll speak soon, yeah?
0:24:37 > 0:24:38Bye.
0:24:53 > 0:24:54She's lying.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58I need to speak to my mum.
0:25:03 > 0:25:08# I'll wait here
0:25:10 > 0:25:13# For you... #
0:25:15 > 0:25:16Hm...
0:25:18 > 0:25:19Oh...
0:25:21 > 0:25:24- How's Theresa?- Yeah, good. - She get home all right?
0:25:25 > 0:25:27- Yeah, she did. She's fine. - Thanks.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32- Me and her were talking, actually. - Oh?
0:25:35 > 0:25:39- Can I ask you a question? - Yes, sure.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51- It doesn't matter.- Hm? - Yeah, it doesn't matter.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54I was just...thinking. It's fine.
0:25:57 > 0:26:01# ..And if you still can't see
0:26:02 > 0:26:09# Still my hearts beats, for you
0:26:10 > 0:26:12# Have become
0:26:14 > 0:26:17# All I lost
0:26:18 > 0:26:22# And all I hoped for
0:26:22 > 0:26:25# But I
0:26:26 > 0:26:28# Must carry on
0:26:30 > 0:26:33# Always one
0:26:35 > 0:26:37# Never broken... #
0:26:41 > 0:26:42I couldn't do it.
0:26:44 > 0:26:48# Don't give a damn for your reasons why
0:26:50 > 0:26:55# Where soul feels
0:26:55 > 0:26:59# Down in the valley where the church bells cry
0:26:59 > 0:27:04# I'll lead them over to your eyes
0:27:04 > 0:27:07# Whoa
0:27:09 > 0:27:11# I am one. #
0:27:11 > 0:27:13Oi! No running in the house.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16Sorry - we're going to play in the garden on the trampoline.
0:27:36 > 0:27:37- Paul!- Yeah?
0:27:37 > 0:27:39Which bedroom's ours?
0:27:39 > 0:27:41Dad, which bedroom's ours?
0:27:41 > 0:27:43- In there.- No, no, that's yours.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46It's no problem. I'll have the spare.
0:27:46 > 0:27:47- Dad, we can't...- No!
0:27:49 > 0:27:50Thanks, Tommy.
0:27:54 > 0:27:58Oh, they love it here, don't they? He's so great with them.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06He's not even their real grandad.
0:28:20 > 0:28:23- Theresa?- Paul.
0:28:24 > 0:28:28- You all right?- Yeah. You?
0:28:29 > 0:28:32- Yeah...sort of.- Yeah.
0:28:33 > 0:28:36How long have you known you can't have kids?
0:28:36 > 0:28:38About eight years.
0:28:38 > 0:28:39You should have said.
0:28:39 > 0:28:42Yeah - I think I just wanted to shut myself away from it all.
0:28:42 > 0:28:46We just thought if was cos you were so focused on your career.
0:28:46 > 0:28:49You know - everything you've gone for, you got.
0:28:49 > 0:28:51The job, this car, the big house and that.
0:28:53 > 0:28:54It's the whole package, isn't it?
0:28:54 > 0:28:56It's you that's got the whole package now -
0:28:56 > 0:29:00kids, the house, all the security that comes with that,
0:29:00 > 0:29:02and I'm made up for you. Honestly. I am.
0:29:02 > 0:29:04But so have you.
0:29:04 > 0:29:06You're so successful at everything you do.
0:29:07 > 0:29:09You think that makes up for not having kids?
0:29:11 > 0:29:12Not in a million years.
0:29:13 > 0:29:17- You could have had our two. - Yeah, I could.
0:29:17 > 0:29:19And that'd be great, because I love them to bits. I do.
0:29:20 > 0:29:22Maybe that's why I don't come visit as much.
0:29:23 > 0:29:24I see what I'm missing.
0:29:25 > 0:29:30- Here. I will knock next time I visit. - No, no, come on.
0:29:31 > 0:29:33I've got the house by default, haven't I?
0:29:33 > 0:29:35- He's not even my dad.- He is, Paul.
0:29:35 > 0:29:38I know you. Just tell me, please. Just tell me.
0:29:38 > 0:29:42- It was just rumours at school. It...- Go on.
0:29:45 > 0:29:46You were just young.
0:29:48 > 0:29:49I needed to find out.
0:29:50 > 0:29:53So I started piecing things together, dates and stuff.
0:29:58 > 0:30:00I realised it had to be true.
0:30:02 > 0:30:04I am so sorry that I ever opened my mouth.
0:30:08 > 0:30:10Paul, he's still our dad.
0:30:16 > 0:30:17I'm going to go.
0:30:37 > 0:30:40- Can we go play on the trampoline? - Yes, you can.
0:30:40 > 0:30:41We're back!
0:30:41 > 0:30:43Oi! Take those bags through with you.
0:30:46 > 0:30:48Dad was always very proud of Theresa.
0:30:49 > 0:30:50I was just the big disappointment.
0:30:50 > 0:30:53- Shhh! - It's all right. He's in the shower.
0:30:53 > 0:30:57See all these awards here? They are all Theresa's. Every one.
0:30:57 > 0:31:00She was always the high flyer. People looked up to her.
0:31:00 > 0:31:05They still do. University, deputy head at 30 odd.
0:31:05 > 0:31:07Now she's going to be head teacher.
0:31:07 > 0:31:09And look at me - I'm just Postman Pat.
0:31:09 > 0:31:12I thought, first-born, Daddy's little girl.
0:31:12 > 0:31:14But now I realise that it's...
0:31:14 > 0:31:16She is actually his child.
0:31:18 > 0:31:21I might find that I have more in common with my real father.
0:31:22 > 0:31:25I'm going to see my mum tomorrow, see how she is.
0:31:25 > 0:31:28And then I'm going to have to ask her who he is.
0:31:34 > 0:31:35You all right, Dad?
0:31:38 > 0:31:40What's wrong? Is it Mum? Is she all right?
0:31:40 > 0:31:42She's sleeping at the mo.
0:31:43 > 0:31:46- I'll take that. - It's OK, I'll take them.
0:31:46 > 0:31:47Listen. Listen, please.
0:31:53 > 0:31:57If you and Lisa and the kids hadn't moved in...
0:31:59 > 0:32:02- ..I don't what I'd have done. - It's all right, Dad.
0:32:02 > 0:32:05It's great, having you there.
0:32:05 > 0:32:07Even the kids, 24/7.
0:32:10 > 0:32:12What I really want to say is...
0:32:14 > 0:32:18I love you and your sister just the same.
0:32:18 > 0:32:20Give over, Dad, you're embarrassing me.
0:32:21 > 0:32:25I'm being honest when I tell you that I am so proud of both of you.
0:32:25 > 0:32:26I know. I know, Dad.
0:32:30 > 0:32:34But I don't want your mother to go through any more suffering.
0:32:36 > 0:32:40And it's only fair that you should know the truth.
0:32:49 > 0:32:50Jonathan Hope.
0:32:52 > 0:32:54Optician.
0:32:55 > 0:32:57He's got a place on Leighton Street.
0:33:06 > 0:33:09- I'll take that.- Yeah...thanks.
0:34:03 > 0:34:06Some with frames, some frameless...
0:34:23 > 0:34:27- Can I help you, sir? - Yeah. Can I get my eyes tested?
0:34:27 > 0:34:29Yeah - if you want to follow me.
0:34:32 > 0:34:34If you just want to fill in this patient registration form.
0:34:34 > 0:34:36It's all pretty straightforward.
0:34:41 > 0:34:43I thought Paul was coming in.
0:34:45 > 0:34:46Later.
0:35:18 > 0:35:21Mr Williams? Would you like to come this way?
0:35:23 > 0:35:26- Thanks for fitting me in. - No problem. We had a cancellation.
0:35:31 > 0:35:32Take a seat.
0:35:34 > 0:35:36Did you fill in our form?
0:35:38 > 0:35:39Thank you very much.
0:35:41 > 0:35:42- Paul Williams?- Yeah.
0:35:44 > 0:35:48- 53 Windsor Street? - No, actually. I've just moved.
0:35:49 > 0:35:50Right.
0:35:52 > 0:35:54To...?
0:35:54 > 0:35:5522 Chesterfield Drive.
0:35:58 > 0:36:0122 Chesterfield Drive.
0:36:03 > 0:36:07Any relation to Tommy and Shirley Williams?
0:36:07 > 0:36:08They're my parents.
0:36:10 > 0:36:11Right.
0:36:12 > 0:36:15Last thing. Date of birth?
0:36:15 > 0:36:1710th May 1979.
0:36:17 > 0:36:22Tenth...of the fifth...1979.
0:36:24 > 0:36:27Right - let's, er...have a look at your eyes.
0:36:32 > 0:36:33- OK?- Yeah.
0:36:39 > 0:36:42On the chart, what line are you most comfortable with?
0:36:44 > 0:36:45Second from bottom.
0:36:46 > 0:36:49Can you read it, please?
0:36:49 > 0:36:53K-A-R-M-C-B-H.
0:36:53 > 0:36:57Are you....moving in with your parents?
0:36:57 > 0:36:58Just my dad.
0:37:00 > 0:37:01Oh, I'm sorry.
0:37:03 > 0:37:06- Has your mum passed away?- No.
0:37:07 > 0:37:09She's in a care home, in Heywood.
0:37:11 > 0:37:14- Is it Sunny View?- Sorry?
0:37:14 > 0:37:19The care home - only I've got a couple of people up there.
0:37:19 > 0:37:20No. Green Oak.
0:37:22 > 0:37:24It's closer, easier for my dad to visit.
0:37:28 > 0:37:30Can we have the same line again, please?
0:37:30 > 0:37:32K-A-R-M-C-B-H.
0:37:35 > 0:37:38Now, if you just look straight ahead.
0:37:47 > 0:37:50- Do you have any children? - Two boys. Eight and ten.
0:37:52 > 0:37:54- You?- Three.
0:37:56 > 0:37:57How old?
0:37:59 > 0:38:03My girl's 39, twin boys, 37.
0:38:09 > 0:38:10Now the other eye.
0:38:11 > 0:38:12How do you know my parents?
0:38:16 > 0:38:19They're...customers here.
0:38:21 > 0:38:24Strange, that. Because they don't wear specs.
0:38:35 > 0:38:36Have you come here to speak to me?
0:38:38 > 0:38:39Yeah.
0:38:42 > 0:38:48Me and your mum were dancing partners at the local ballroom,
0:38:48 > 0:38:51and...we fell in love.
0:38:54 > 0:38:56She became pregnant.
0:39:04 > 0:39:05DOOR OPENS
0:39:08 > 0:39:09Is he back yet?
0:39:09 > 0:39:11No.
0:39:17 > 0:39:19'Did you ditch her?
0:39:19 > 0:39:21'Quite the opposite.'
0:39:21 > 0:39:23We made a pact.
0:39:24 > 0:39:27We were going to run away and live together.
0:39:31 > 0:39:33Even though you both had families?
0:39:36 > 0:39:40We were in love. We didn't intend it to happen.
0:39:46 > 0:39:50We were going to tell the families the truth...and leave.
0:39:52 > 0:39:54Down to London on the train.
0:40:00 > 0:40:03But I broke the pact.
0:40:04 > 0:40:09I got home...and I just couldn't do it.
0:40:09 > 0:40:10I wasn't brave enough.
0:40:13 > 0:40:14I never said a word.
0:40:21 > 0:40:22What did my mum say?
