0:00:02 > 0:00:04The older he gets, the more distressing it is for him
0:00:04 > 0:00:06to be in a world that he doesn't understand.
0:00:06 > 0:00:07It's real distress, Paul. Real pain.
0:00:07 > 0:00:10It is ridiculous that you're avoiding me like some teenage boy.
0:00:10 > 0:00:13I don't want to lose a friend because he can't satisfy my needs.
0:00:13 > 0:00:15- Keys.- Keys?- You start in a week.
0:00:15 > 0:00:17I know what it's like growing up round here.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20Having sex seems like a good way to pass the time until you leave.
0:00:20 > 0:00:21Hello? Rebecca?
0:00:21 > 0:00:22Just be sure that's what YOU want.
0:00:22 > 0:00:23They just need a plan.
0:00:23 > 0:00:26There's a brilliant speech and language therapist
0:00:26 > 0:00:27who I'm going to refer them to.
0:00:27 > 0:00:29- What's with the sign? - It's for the best.
0:00:29 > 0:00:30Do I not even get a say in this?
0:00:30 > 0:00:32It doesn't matter to you if it's the right decision
0:00:32 > 0:00:34as long as it's your decision.
0:00:35 > 0:00:40This programme contains some strong language.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44HE SINGS ALONG TO MUSIC: # Space travel's in my blood
0:00:44 > 0:00:48# There ain't nothing I can do about it
0:00:48 > 0:00:53# Long journeys wear me out but I know I can't live without it
0:00:53 > 0:00:58# Oh, no, I think I'm on another world with you
0:00:58 > 0:01:00# With you
0:01:00 > 0:01:04# I'm on another planet with you HORN BEEPS
0:01:04 > 0:01:06# With you
0:01:06 > 0:01:09# Another girl
0:01:09 > 0:01:12# Who's loving you now
0:01:12 > 0:01:15# Another planet
0:01:15 > 0:01:17# Who's holding you down
0:01:17 > 0:01:21# Another planet. #
0:01:24 > 0:01:25CLASSICAL MUSIC PLAYS
0:01:29 > 0:01:30Hey, Mozart!
0:01:33 > 0:01:35Where've you been?
0:01:35 > 0:01:37- Hey?- I missed you.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40I'll be in a bit late this morning, lads. We've got a family thing.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42- OK.- You still playing nice with Eddie, are you?
0:01:44 > 0:01:46You talking to my guys?
0:01:46 > 0:01:48I hope you're not trying to get back in with them
0:01:48 > 0:01:50now you've put the restaurant on the market.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52What's that got to do with you?
0:02:23 > 0:02:26I think the rebranding should be more radical.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28Take a leaf out of BrewDog's book.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30Hey, that's my speech therapy notebook.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32I don't want your scribble on it.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34I'm not sure it's the notebook kind of therapy, Dad.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36Well, if there's role-play consider me gone.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39I don't think she's that kind of therapist, is she, Nicola?
0:02:39 > 0:02:41I don't know.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43Oh, but, I mean, she's the best, right?
0:02:43 > 0:02:44I don't think there's a league table,
0:02:44 > 0:02:45but I hear she does good work
0:02:45 > 0:02:47with families of children on the spectrum.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50Oh, "children on the spectrum". Is that what we say nowadays?
0:02:50 > 0:02:51Sounds like a charity single.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54Let's just all try and, you know, be ourselves.
0:02:54 > 0:02:55Are you sure that's wise?
0:02:55 > 0:02:57- DOORBELL RINGS - Oh, my God!
0:02:57 > 0:02:59One last chance to tell me I'm adopted.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01Eh, eh, come here.
0:03:01 > 0:03:02Joe!
0:03:02 > 0:03:04Come on, Joe.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09Oh...oh, my God. Margaret?
0:03:09 > 0:03:11Margaret White? It's me.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13I, I was, er, Alison Scott? Do you remember?
0:03:13 > 0:03:15Yes, I remember. Hello, Alison.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18- I prefer Maggie, by the way. - Oh, sure, sure.
0:03:18 > 0:03:19Goodness, what a surprise.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22- How long's it been?- 16 years.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24Have you not been back since you left school, really?
0:03:24 > 0:03:26Never been back until now.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28Wow! Well, come in!
0:03:28 > 0:03:30Sorry, come in.
0:03:34 > 0:03:35Just through here.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39Dad, do you remember Margaret White?
0:03:39 > 0:03:41Er, Maggie. Sorry, it's Maggie.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43Is this part of the test, or can I be honest?
0:03:43 > 0:03:45Don't worry. It's not a test.
0:03:45 > 0:03:46None of this is a test.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49Right, well, shall I make some coffee? Have you eaten?
0:03:49 > 0:03:51Do you want...?
0:03:51 > 0:03:53Er, that's Joe. This is Joe.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56Erm, where you staying? How was your journey?
0:03:56 > 0:03:57Hello, Joe.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01Is that a table tennis table?
0:04:01 > 0:04:02Shall we have a game?
0:04:04 > 0:04:05No, no, let me...
0:04:07 > 0:04:08Maurice.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10Come on, Maurice, this way.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12This is my bat. I can tell by the handle.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14- Come on.- I'm thinking if online sales take off,
0:04:14 > 0:04:17- we might want to convert one of the outbuildings.- Yeah.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19Topspin!
0:04:19 > 0:04:21Would one of you two find another clamp for this net
0:04:21 > 0:04:22- and stop showing off?- Eh?
0:04:22 > 0:04:24All right?
0:04:24 > 0:04:26Alison! Get a move on.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30How long does it take to brew up? Come on, everybody's waiting!
0:04:30 > 0:04:32That's Margaret White!
0:04:32 > 0:04:34- Right?- The Cookie Monster!
0:04:34 > 0:04:36We hated each other at school.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38She used to cry if she didn't come top of the class.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40She used to steamroller over me in netball.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43Well, this is table tennis, so I think you'll be OK.
0:04:43 > 0:04:44- Oh...- Come on. Come on.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46Come on, come on.
0:04:49 > 0:04:50OK. OK.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56- Let!- Did it touch the net?
0:04:56 > 0:04:58I don't want to label him at such a young age.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00Why not?
0:05:00 > 0:05:04I just worry that people will treat him differently.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06And why would that be so bad?
0:05:06 > 0:05:08I just don't want it to be public knowledge.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10We need to talk about that.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12Fine, but it's not up for negotiation.
0:05:12 > 0:05:16Beautiful. Ooh, great shot! One-nil.
0:05:16 > 0:05:17- Come on.- OK.
0:05:28 > 0:05:29Thank you, Joe.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32Well done! You clever boy.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38Have a game. Come on.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40Try not to tell him "well done" all the time.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43A lot of this isn't about getting it right or praising him.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45It's about building up a back and forth.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48- Does that make sense?- I've set up a Twitter feed for the brewery.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50- A what?- Get walking, Maurice.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52You did that on purpose!
0:05:52 > 0:05:54Hey, hey, come on. Let's let Joe have a go, shall we?
0:05:54 > 0:05:57Come on. You ready? So, erm...
0:05:57 > 0:05:59- Here we go, then. Ready? - Yeah, that's it.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03Just a slow one, Eddie.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05A slow one. Try not to overcompensate.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08He's just a kid, all right? You ready?
0:06:08 > 0:06:09So, grab that. Come on.
0:06:10 > 0:06:14Come on. Hey, hey, hey. Come here. Look at me. Come on. Hey, hey, hey.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16- Come here, come here. Listen, listen, listen.- I don't think so.
0:06:16 > 0:06:20Shh, shh, shh. You're singing - # World shut your mouth
0:06:20 > 0:06:21# Shut your mouth...
0:06:21 > 0:06:25TOGETHER: # Put your head back in the clouds and shut your mouth. #
0:06:25 > 0:06:27OK, then. Are we ready?
0:06:27 > 0:06:28Hold that.
0:06:28 > 0:06:29Here it comes.
0:06:31 > 0:06:35- Ohh!- Yeah! We did it! Oh, yeah!
0:06:35 > 0:06:37My boy! Oh!
0:06:37 > 0:06:39Lad! Lad! Wahey!
0:06:41 > 0:06:42Right, come on, then.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46- Come on. Another one?- Here.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49All communication is an exchange.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51It's like table tennis.
0:06:51 > 0:06:55Look at us all sitting here, all feeling self-conscious.
0:06:55 > 0:06:56This is unnatural.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59Hey, it is in this family. Nobody interrupted you.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05By the time we're Joe's age,
0:07:05 > 0:07:09most of our communication is automatic, unthinking, spontaneous.
0:07:09 > 0:07:10Funny, even.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13Hey, were I here for that day, Maurice?
0:07:17 > 0:07:19So there we are.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21Ping. Maurice makes a joke
0:07:21 > 0:07:23to mask the fact that he's feeling uncomfortable.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26Pong. Paul returns the serve, but can't help revealing
0:07:26 > 0:07:29his own insecurity by making a joke at Maurice's expense.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33Well, as long as you don't ask me why I'm uncomfortable,
0:07:33 > 0:07:35I think I can go along with this.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38I don't need to. Why wouldn't you feel uncomfortable?
0:07:38 > 0:07:41You don't know what's going to happen next.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44You don't know what this lunatic woman's going to say.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46That's how Joe feels all the time.
0:07:46 > 0:07:50Under pressure every time anybody asks him anything,
0:07:50 > 0:07:53unless it's about his music, food, or his walks.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56He's a kid who can't make himself heard in a family of loudmouths.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58I know that feeling.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01I'm not sure you can start equating your position with Joe's.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03Really? You didn't grow up with this crowd.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05Give it six months and you'll know what I am getting at.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07I know what you're getting at. I just don't agree.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14This unresolved tension here.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16It doesn't matter what it's about.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19What matters is that they're playing it out by arguing about Joe.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23Joe becomes the lightning rod for family tension.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26This in turn informs your dealings with him.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29You communicate that anxiety whether you mean to or not.
0:08:29 > 0:08:30No wonder he wears headphones.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32He wears headphones because...
0:08:33 > 0:08:36He wears headphones because he loves music.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39Of course he loves music. Music doesn't answer back.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41Music keeps the world at arm's length,
0:08:41 > 0:08:43calms him down when he feels distressed.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46Well, we're always talking about music together.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50If that's not social, then I don't know what is.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53It's lovely that you have music,
0:08:53 > 0:08:55but it isn't communication.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58For Joe, it's self-preservation.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01Paul folds his arms defensively
0:09:01 > 0:09:03because he's worried about what I'll be saying next.
0:09:05 > 0:09:06I think we're all worried.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09Paul sends another return on the back of defensive humour.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11I had no idea my game was so predictable.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13Are you going to be giving us a booklet at the end of this
0:09:13 > 0:09:17or something? Because I'm more of a "read the instructions" type.
0:09:17 > 0:09:18No.
0:09:20 > 0:09:21HE SIGHS
0:09:21 > 0:09:24Rebecca, meanwhile, obsessively checks her phone
0:09:24 > 0:09:25in the hope that'll take her out of here.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27She doesn't want to be here.
0:09:27 > 0:09:28And I don't blame her.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31I'll be late for rehearsals. I'm doing the school play.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33Yeah, Antigone. I noticed.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35What was our school play, Maggie?
0:09:35 > 0:09:37I don't remember.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39Er, would you mind, Maggie?
0:09:39 > 0:09:41Of course not. If that's OK with your mum,
0:09:41 > 0:09:42we can talk some other time.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50DOOR CLOSES
0:09:52 > 0:09:54I know this is tough,
0:09:54 > 0:09:57but you hired me to help Joe.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59I'm not sure this is helping.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04You need to come up with strategies
0:10:04 > 0:10:06in which Joe becomes part of the game.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11But at the moment, the communication in his family,
0:10:11 > 0:10:14spoken, unspoken -
0:10:14 > 0:10:17it's not stuff you even see yourself, so imagine being Joe.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20He doesn't understand the message in the first place,
0:10:20 > 0:10:23and doesn't have the tools to respond even if he did.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26How much easier life is if every conversation
0:10:26 > 0:10:28turns on rote-learned details of pop music.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31So, if Joe's ever going to communicate,
0:10:31 > 0:10:33we need to learn how to communicate ourselves.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35Where did you read that?
0:10:35 > 0:10:39- I didn't read that anywhere. I just thought it.- Really?
0:10:39 > 0:10:41- THEY LAUGH - He's the kind of guy that would
0:10:41 > 0:10:44buy the books that they have at the checkout at the bookshop.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47"Buddhism For Shallow People."
0:10:47 > 0:10:49"Things The Dalai Lama Said On One Of His Bad Days."
0:10:49 > 0:10:51This is exactly what Maggie's talking about.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54This, right here, is our problem. We never shut up!
0:10:54 > 0:10:57Alison's absolutely right. You don't listen to each other.
0:10:58 > 0:11:03You leave no space for nuance, or exchange, or doubt.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06Is it just me or are you a tough crowd, Maggie?
0:11:06 > 0:11:08Humour's a great defence mechanism, Maurice.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11It puts the recipient at an immediate disadvantage.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13I laugh, you've won.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16I don't laugh and I'm a stereotypical humourless therapist,
0:11:16 > 0:11:18borderline lesbian, so you've won there, too.
0:11:22 > 0:11:23Where you going?
0:11:23 > 0:11:27I, er, can give Joe lifts and I can take him for walks,
0:11:27 > 0:11:29but I'm, I'm not sure I can do any of this. It's beyond me.
0:11:29 > 0:11:33And I don't want to mess up anything you and Maggie are cooking up
0:11:33 > 0:11:37- to help Joe, so, excuse me. Thank you.- Before you've even tried?
0:11:37 > 0:11:39Well, thank you for being so honest.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41You, too.
0:11:59 > 0:12:00KNOCK AT DOOR
0:12:06 > 0:12:07Hi.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10- You're a day early. - Yes. I wanted to talk to you.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14Well, I'm giving a lesson right now.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17I just wanted to say, I was hasty when I said what I said.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20When I turned you down the other day.
0:12:20 > 0:12:21Perhaps I should reconsider...
0:12:22 > 0:12:24..if you haven't moved on.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28Are you reconsidering or are you saying you'd like to sleep with me?
0:12:28 > 0:12:31I hate to hurry you but, like I say, I'm giving a lesson right now.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33I'm saying yes.
0:12:34 > 0:12:35Would you like to wait?
0:12:48 > 0:12:50Will you be bringing the ukulele?
0:12:50 > 0:12:52Not unless you want me to.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55It's upstairs on the left.
0:12:55 > 0:12:56My bedroom.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07UKULELE PLAYS
0:13:48 > 0:13:51Look, there's you on holiday, isn't it? Joe?
0:13:52 > 0:13:54You know it is. Do you remember?
0:13:54 > 0:13:57Hey? You do!
0:13:57 > 0:14:00And there's Rebecca holding you as a baby.
0:14:00 > 0:14:01Look how tiny you are there.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03Oh, baby Joe.
0:14:03 > 0:14:04Look at that.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09No, come on, Joe. You love these photos. You always do.
0:14:09 > 0:14:10Come on, now.
0:14:13 > 0:14:14ALBUM CLATTERS
0:14:15 > 0:14:18OK. So, maybe the book wasn't a great idea.
0:14:19 > 0:14:20Joe?
0:14:23 > 0:14:24Boo!
0:14:24 > 0:14:30- IN MONSTER VOICE:- Joe, now will you look at the book with me?
0:14:30 > 0:14:32Eh? Now will you look at the book?
0:14:37 > 0:14:38This is where I lose the will to live.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46Ah. I can see you on holiday. That looks like fun.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48Where's Rebecca?
0:15:03 > 0:15:07Oh, and here's your birthday party. An octopus cake!
0:15:07 > 0:15:09That looks absolutely delicious.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24It doesn't matter at this stage that one of us
0:15:24 > 0:15:26is not really looking. It doesn't matter at this stage
0:15:26 > 0:15:28that one of us is not really saying anything.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31What matters is setting up an exchange. Ping pong.
0:15:31 > 0:15:34But we don't want to crowd a young one out at this point.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37We just want him to join in. Do you see?
0:15:38 > 0:15:41- I'm in his face all the time, aren't I?- You are.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44And that makes him anxious that he doesn't have what it takes
0:15:44 > 0:15:45to fulfil your overwhelming need.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47Oof. That's a bit harsh.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50It will be a bit harsh, but I hope not for Joe.
0:15:50 > 0:15:51That's the main thing, isn't it?
0:16:04 > 0:16:06It will get better than that. I promise.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10What makes you think you get a second chance?
0:16:13 > 0:16:15That was one of my little jokes, Maurice.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22I slept with one woman for 35 years
0:16:22 > 0:16:24and, after she went, nobody.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28That would explain all that running you do.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30No, I, I...
0:16:31 > 0:16:33It's strange, isn't it?
0:16:35 > 0:16:37Different...body.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41- Different geography. - Different geography?!
0:16:41 > 0:16:43Maybe you should bring a compass next time.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45No, what I mean is...
0:16:46 > 0:16:49Must be even longer for you, since your husband left.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52Five years.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58There has been someone since then, Maurice.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00Oh, right.
0:17:00 > 0:17:01I see.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04Didn't work out. We were both on the rebound.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10I, I, don't need to know.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12He was my lodger. Music student.
0:17:12 > 0:17:13We got on very well.
0:17:18 > 0:17:19A student?
0:17:19 > 0:17:22But he was so young and demanding.
0:17:23 > 0:17:24Mid-twenties.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28That generation have come of age with hardcore pornography, you see?
0:17:28 > 0:17:31Very strange expectations of what might be enjoyable...
0:17:32 > 0:17:34..or desirable...
0:17:36 > 0:17:39..or even physically possible, come to that.
0:17:44 > 0:17:45Craft beer is booming.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47Real ale is over. OK?
0:17:49 > 0:17:50Dad?
0:17:52 > 0:17:54What's the difference?
0:17:54 > 0:17:57Nothing in the taste. Everything in the brand.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59Real ale is goblins and prog rock.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01Craft beer is social media and punk.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04Is this what you wanted to talk to me about?
0:18:04 > 0:18:06We go big online, there'll be a spike in demand.
0:18:06 > 0:18:07We need to be ready for that.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10So, we're going to have to convert some of the outbuildings
0:18:10 > 0:18:13and install a dual-purpose conditioning vessel.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16- Yes, OK. - So, you're giving me the go-ahead
0:18:16 > 0:18:18- for all that? - Well, you're the boss, aren't you?
0:18:18 > 0:18:21- You don't want time to think it over?- Like I say, you're in charge.
0:18:25 > 0:18:26Yes!
0:18:27 > 0:18:29Pick up the apple.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34Pick up the apple.
0:18:34 > 0:18:35Put it in the pan.
0:18:36 > 0:18:37In the pan.
0:18:39 > 0:18:40Right in the pan.
0:18:41 > 0:18:45That's it. Your turn. Your turn to ask me.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49I can't hear you, Joe, so I don't know what to do.
0:18:51 > 0:18:52Pick up the button.
0:18:52 > 0:18:53OK.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57I don't know where it should go.
0:18:57 > 0:18:59In the sock.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02In the sock? OK. What should I do now?
0:19:02 > 0:19:04Put the pen...
0:19:04 > 0:19:05OK.
0:19:07 > 0:19:08..in...
0:19:12 > 0:19:13..the cup.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16In the green cup or the blue cup?
0:19:17 > 0:19:20- Blue cup.- Blue cup. OK.
0:19:20 > 0:19:24Now, find the apple and put it in the red bowl.
0:19:26 > 0:19:27In the red bowl.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29That's it!
0:19:29 > 0:19:31Now...
0:19:31 > 0:19:32Hiya.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34Hey! Have you heard those two?
0:19:34 > 0:19:37She's got him eating out the palm of her hand.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40Ooh, is that a social skill he's ever really going to need?
0:19:40 > 0:19:42I think we should get her to come and work with Joe
0:19:42 > 0:19:45three times a week. We've found our miracle worker.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48I think the real miracle is how we'd pay for that.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50Well, here's a tip. Not by selling the restaurant.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53There's interest already
0:19:53 > 0:19:56and if they offer the asking price then we're in the clear.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58Yeah, but then what?
0:19:58 > 0:20:00The diner doesn't pay enough. Eddie's got your old job.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03Have you any idea how much we've spent already?
0:20:03 > 0:20:06- No, I haven't, because you won't ever talk about it.- Well...
0:20:06 > 0:20:08we're talking about it now,
0:20:08 > 0:20:11and I'm not even using humour as a defence mechanism.
0:20:11 > 0:20:15It's important that you practise speech with him where the response
0:20:15 > 0:20:20is physical and clear and not abstract or emotional.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22- Do you see how that might help? - Yeah, yeah, sure. Yeah.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25Sit down, Maggie. Sit down. Paul. Open some wine. Or beer?
0:20:25 > 0:20:28You look like you might be a craft beer sort of a girl.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31- Is that a joke?- No. I was genuinely, we've got some, some...
0:20:31 > 0:20:35No, it's me that uses jokes to mask my feelings, remember?
0:20:35 > 0:20:38Nothing for me, thank you. I need to go now.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40Oh, you're not going to eat with us?
0:20:40 > 0:20:43No, but thank you. I've booked dinner at the Red Lion.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45- I'm seeing an old friend. - Oh, really. Who?
0:20:45 > 0:20:49- She isn't local. You wouldn't know her.- Oh, well, invite her along.
0:20:49 > 0:20:50Come on, please, you need to tell me
0:20:50 > 0:20:52everything you know about Joe. We need to make plans.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55I'm very sorry. But I've already made other arrangements.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57I'll see you both in the morning. Bye, Joe.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01Miss Wallace says that if Creon doesn't know his lines
0:21:01 > 0:21:04by tomorrow morning she's going to have to recast. Can you imagine?
0:21:04 > 0:21:07Well, I practically know the part. And I've got the legs for a toga.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10- It's modern dress.- Maggie thinks that drama might be good for Joe.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14Mum, you forgot to put the cheque in the envelope for the tickets.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17That's a good idea. Eh, Mozart, want to do some acting?
0:21:17 > 0:21:20Hmm. Let me see.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23I don't think so, no.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25Rebecca, will you check if your Saturday drama class
0:21:25 > 0:21:26- has any spaces?- Can't you do that?
0:21:26 > 0:21:29Well, you're there every week, so I think it's easier if you do.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34I don't ask you for much, so just do this one thing, would you?
0:21:34 > 0:21:36JOE TURNS MUSIC ON
0:21:36 > 0:21:39- Eh, eh, eh, eh, come on, big man! - PAUL TURNS MUSIC OFF
0:21:39 > 0:21:40Come on, eat your tea.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42Have some of your spaghetti, Joe.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51"What more do you want? Kill me, and have done with it."
0:21:51 > 0:21:53"Nothing more than your death. That'll be enough."
0:21:53 > 0:21:55"Then what are you waiting for...?"
0:21:55 > 0:21:57Ice cream, ladies?
0:21:57 > 0:22:00If only Creon had offered Antigone an ice cream.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03Why didn't he think of that? She's a girl, for God's sake!
0:22:03 > 0:22:05Eddie likes to demonstrate his liberalism
0:22:05 > 0:22:08- by making ironic sexist remarks. - Mum said they used to call you
0:22:08 > 0:22:10the Ice Cream King when you were growing up.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12Yeah, it was the only job her and your grandad trusted me with.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15You might want to think about how you feel about your own brother
0:22:15 > 0:22:18- and put some of that into it. - Right.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21And how serious is it with your boyfriend? That might help too.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24- You don't need to answer that, Rebecca.- What?
0:22:24 > 0:22:26Nicola doesn't do small talk.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28KNOCKING
0:22:28 > 0:22:33A-ha, so that's where you ran off to. Very cosy.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35Nicola knows the play. I told you.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38Twice. Thanks for helping me with the play.
0:22:38 > 0:22:42- I've got to go and meet a friend. - On a school night? Really?
0:22:42 > 0:22:44It's about schoolwork.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46OK. Well, don't be late.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50Teenage strop.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53I think she just needed to get away from you and your house for a while.
0:22:53 > 0:22:57Right. Well thank you, Nicola, for telling it like it is.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00- Is her boyfriend nice? - She hasn't got a boyfriend.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03I just wanted to say thank you for coming this morning.
0:23:03 > 0:23:06I hope you're not feeling too bruised after Maggie's session.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09- Oh, no, not at all. It's her job. - Yeah.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12I think it's right that she locates the unresolved tension
0:23:12 > 0:23:14in the whole family and not just in Joe.
0:23:15 > 0:23:16Yeah, sure. Yeah.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18Well, some of the family, anyway.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26Well, night, then.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES
0:23:35 > 0:23:38So...shall we call it Michael?
0:23:38 > 0:23:40Our "unresolved tension"?
0:23:40 > 0:23:43I don't think we can lay all our unresolved tension
0:23:43 > 0:23:45at Michael's door, can we?
0:23:45 > 0:23:48- Be nice to park it somewhere. - Are you serious?
0:23:48 > 0:23:51Actually, do we need to talk about this right now?
0:23:51 > 0:23:52- You brought it up.- When people say,
0:23:52 > 0:23:54"Do we need to talk about this right now?"
0:23:54 > 0:23:56it generally means they don't want to.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59So how do we resolve that tension?
0:23:59 > 0:24:03We could try the ancient art of sexual intercourse.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05Do you really think that'll help?
0:24:05 > 0:24:07It's got to be worth a try.
0:24:14 > 0:24:18RADIO: 'But I got into a debate about the difference
0:24:18 > 0:24:21'between implied and inferred.'
0:24:23 > 0:24:24What?
0:24:29 > 0:24:32MUFFLED SPEECH ON RADIO
0:24:39 > 0:24:42- What?- Nothing.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45She's just realised that she still loves Sam Smith.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47Sam Smith's gay.
0:24:47 > 0:24:49But Rebecca thinks she can turn him.
0:24:49 > 0:24:52She leaned in on me at a party once and it got very messy.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56Talk to yourself.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58- I'm sorry. - Can we lose the commentary, Tom?
0:24:58 > 0:25:02I could. But then Rebecca would discover how dull you truly are.
0:25:03 > 0:25:06Come on. Let's go for some chips.
0:25:51 > 0:25:52He's fast asleep.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54She's tired him out.
0:25:54 > 0:25:58Excellent! Let's seize the moment.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00If Maggie agrees three times a week,
0:26:00 > 0:26:02I think we can manage the rest between all of us.
0:26:04 > 0:26:06Ping.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09The male makes a clumsy display of affection.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18Pong.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20The female returns the male's sexual advances.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22Stop it.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24Ping. She chastises him.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26Pong. He rather likes it.
0:26:28 > 0:26:29It makes him aroused. Ping.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31It makes her aroused. Pong.
0:26:31 > 0:26:34- Stop it, I mean it, don't make fun of it.- OK. OK. OK.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40Ping. He serves again, she returns.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43Stop.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46- OK, I promise.- No. I can hear Rebecca practising her lines.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48Oh, no, no, no, no, no, we'll just, we'll just be quiet.
0:26:48 > 0:26:52- Very quiet. - MUFFLED SPEECH THROUGH WALL
0:26:55 > 0:26:58I'm not really feeling it with Antigone next door.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02Is it me or are your knock-back lines getting that bit classier?
0:27:04 > 0:27:05Sorry.
0:27:05 > 0:27:07Let me go.
0:27:12 > 0:27:13'You are quite mistaken.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16'None of the Thebans anywhere in the city thinks as you do.'
0:27:16 > 0:27:19They all do! But they keep their mouths shut when you're here!
0:27:19 > 0:27:20- 'Not at all...' - KNOCK ON DOOR
0:27:20 > 0:27:24'..and you should be ashamed setting yourself up against the majority.'
0:27:24 > 0:27:27Time to wrap it up now, love. It's a big week for you this week.
0:27:27 > 0:27:29- OK.- Goodnight. Night.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32- Did you hear that?- 'Yeah.'
0:27:32 > 0:27:34I'm going to have to go.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37- 'Goodnight.' - I'll see you tomorrow.
0:28:21 > 0:28:23MAURICE CLEARS HIS THROAT
0:28:27 > 0:28:29Morning.
0:28:29 > 0:28:30Don't let me interrupt.
0:28:37 > 0:28:39- See you later.- See ya.
0:28:39 > 0:28:42- REBECCA PRACTISES HER LINES - Maggie's great for him, isn't she?
0:28:42 > 0:28:44If she's what Joe needs then I think the world of her.
0:28:44 > 0:28:46Never mind her just assessing Joe.
0:28:46 > 0:28:48I think we should ask her to come three times a week
0:28:48 > 0:28:51and work with him and help us deal with him.
0:28:51 > 0:28:54- She won't come cheap. - No. I know, that's what Paul said.
0:28:54 > 0:28:56That's why he's adamant on selling the restaurant.
0:28:56 > 0:28:58He doesn't need to sell the restaurant to help Joe.
0:28:58 > 0:29:02The money's there. In my account. Your mother's life insurance.
0:29:02 > 0:29:05- I can't think of a better use for it.- Don't undermine him, though.
0:29:05 > 0:29:06When have I ever undermined anybody?
0:29:08 > 0:29:09Any interest?
0:29:12 > 0:29:13Huh?
0:29:14 > 0:29:18Oh, yeah, estate agent rang this morning. Got somebody coming round.
0:29:18 > 0:29:20How much are you asking?
0:29:20 > 0:29:23A quid more than I owe the bank'd be nice.
0:29:23 > 0:29:26Still...nice when it lasted.
0:29:26 > 0:29:28- The dream. Living it and all that. - Yeah.
0:29:30 > 0:29:32Catching up on old times?
0:29:32 > 0:29:35No. I just needed a good internet signal.
0:29:35 > 0:29:38Oh, well, you've got Alison to thank for that.
0:29:38 > 0:29:40Yeah, she set up the Wi-Fi for the whole place.
0:29:42 > 0:29:44- She thinks of everything.- Yes.
0:29:51 > 0:29:54That were quite a battering you give us yesterday.
0:29:54 > 0:29:57I didn't do it for effect. I did it so you can help Joe.
0:29:57 > 0:30:00No, I know, I know. I just, it's just, um...
0:30:05 > 0:30:07..are we really doing that badly?
0:30:07 > 0:30:09No. I can see that you get on with him.
0:30:09 > 0:30:11I can see that you make Joe happy.
0:30:11 > 0:30:14I'm just doing what any dad would do, I think.
0:30:14 > 0:30:16So it's understandable if you overcompensate a bit.
0:30:18 > 0:30:20Well. That's dads for you, eh?
0:30:25 > 0:30:27Right, well, I'd better get up the hill.
0:30:27 > 0:30:29I was working with this family once.
0:30:29 > 0:30:32And I said that I thought at family meal times it would be a good idea
0:30:32 > 0:30:36to let the child - Alfie - serve the food up at the table.
0:30:36 > 0:30:38It was a way of getting the child to socialise
0:30:38 > 0:30:40without feeling the pressure.
0:30:40 > 0:30:43And the dad said, "Well, that sounds like a good idea,
0:30:43 > 0:30:47"but unfortunately I'm always up a ladder at family mealtimes."
0:30:47 > 0:30:49I asked him why and he said,
0:30:49 > 0:30:52"Alfie won't eat his food unless I'm up a ladder outside the house."
0:30:52 > 0:30:53That's insane.
0:30:53 > 0:30:57Yes. And this family were clever, sane people.
0:30:57 > 0:30:58But the dad being up a ladder at mealtimes
0:30:58 > 0:31:01seemed a small price to pay to keep their boy happy.
0:31:02 > 0:31:04Why are you telling me this?
0:31:04 > 0:31:08You're doing fine with Joe. He loves you and he likes you.
0:31:08 > 0:31:11Relax. You don't need to be the one outside on the ladder.
0:31:26 > 0:31:29Has the vendor got figures for flooring costs
0:31:29 > 0:31:31- and second-fix electrics?- Maurice!
0:31:31 > 0:31:35It's lovely of you to drop in, but I've got a potential buyer coming...
0:31:35 > 0:31:39- I know.- So, if you don't...- It's me. I'm the potential buyer.
0:31:40 > 0:31:42This is nonsense, Maurice,
0:31:42 > 0:31:44and you know it. You're wasting your time.
0:31:44 > 0:31:46Why? If I buy the place, you can still run it.
0:31:46 > 0:31:49The costs are too high to finish the job.
0:31:49 > 0:31:51Do you think you can run a restaurant or not?
0:31:51 > 0:31:53Look, it's different now, with Joe, it's...
0:31:53 > 0:31:58It's just, now is not the time to be risking all of this,
0:31:58 > 0:32:00and we're going to be taking Maggie on.
0:32:00 > 0:32:03I'll take care of that. You worry about this place.
0:32:03 > 0:32:07What if I want to take care of Joe, hmm? His dad.
0:32:07 > 0:32:09My own son.
0:32:11 > 0:32:14Honestly, you and Alison. Unbelievable!
0:32:14 > 0:32:16Get Michael in.
0:32:16 > 0:32:19Get Maggie in. Take him out of school.
0:32:19 > 0:32:21Put him back into school. Go private!
0:32:22 > 0:32:24Takeover! Takeover! Takeover!
0:32:24 > 0:32:27- With all due respect... - Oh, fuck "all due respect."
0:32:27 > 0:32:30..I think Joe's welfare is more important than your ego.
0:32:30 > 0:32:32It's not about the ego.
0:32:32 > 0:32:34It's about the fact that I've got something to say.
0:32:34 > 0:32:37I have ideas!
0:32:37 > 0:32:41I will not be the one outside the house up a ladder at tea-time!
0:32:41 > 0:32:43What?
0:32:43 > 0:32:46I don't even know why you're here, Maurice.
0:32:46 > 0:32:48I know you can't really afford the place.
0:32:48 > 0:32:49I'll sell the brewery.
0:32:49 > 0:32:51Pull the other one.
0:32:51 > 0:32:55Why not? The business plan for this place is sound.
0:32:55 > 0:32:58You worked for me from the age of 16 up till six months ago.
0:32:58 > 0:33:00So, you know, we'll know what we're getting into.
0:33:00 > 0:33:02It'll be just like it always was.
0:33:02 > 0:33:06Listen, I know you dreamed of running your own place,
0:33:06 > 0:33:08but don't kick yourself to death if management's not for you.
0:33:15 > 0:33:16I'll be in touch.
0:33:25 > 0:33:28He is a bastard. He's a bastard!
0:33:44 > 0:33:46I think he's overdue a camomile tea.
0:33:46 > 0:33:49Two-bag job, by the look of it.
0:34:07 > 0:34:10Sorry, no. That won't be happening.
0:34:10 > 0:34:11How do you mean, no? Do you mean yes?
0:34:11 > 0:34:15I came here to write a plan and recommend someone local to help you,
0:34:15 > 0:34:16but it won't be me.
0:34:16 > 0:34:21- So, when can you start? Come on, three mornings a week.- Alison...
0:34:21 > 0:34:23I'm very sorry, but I can't work with Joe on a regular basis.
0:34:23 > 0:34:24You knew that all along.
0:34:24 > 0:34:27No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. You don't get away that easily.
0:34:27 > 0:34:30You are brilliant for Joe and I won't take no for an answer.
0:34:30 > 0:34:32I know you find that hard, but you're going to have to.
0:34:32 > 0:34:35There are people with the same expertise.
0:34:35 > 0:34:37- Please, Maggie. Name your price. - I am sorry.
0:34:37 > 0:34:41Joe's a lovely boy, but I am not the only person who can help him.
0:34:41 > 0:34:44It was lovely to meet you, Joe. Bye now.
0:34:44 > 0:34:48If I have to lie down in the road in front of the car, then I will.
0:34:48 > 0:34:50You, Maggie, are GOING to work with Joe.
0:34:50 > 0:34:53You can't always have what you want, Alison. Not even you.
0:34:53 > 0:34:54Is that a "maybe"?
0:34:54 > 0:34:58- Oh, come on.- You are blind to everybody's needs but your own.
0:34:58 > 0:35:00You are a bully, Alison. You bullied me at school
0:35:00 > 0:35:02and you are bullying me now.
0:35:02 > 0:35:05Well, too bad. I will send through my report.
0:35:05 > 0:35:07I will help you find someone local.
0:35:07 > 0:35:09But I won't be bullied by you again.
0:35:14 > 0:35:17CAR ENGINE STARTS
0:35:29 > 0:35:32Are you coming in, kiddo?
0:35:32 > 0:35:33Come on.
0:35:37 > 0:35:39Joe?
0:35:43 > 0:35:45Was I really a bully? Is that possible?
0:35:48 > 0:35:50Hey, it's not funny, Paul.
0:35:50 > 0:35:54Hey, I'm the one who uses humour as a defence mechanism, remember?
0:35:54 > 0:35:57Well, now you're using "humour as a defence mechanism"
0:35:57 > 0:35:58as humour as a defence mechanism.
0:35:58 > 0:36:01And now you're bullying me. So maybe Maggie had a point.
0:36:01 > 0:36:04- D'you think? - No, no, course not.
0:36:04 > 0:36:07Not now, maybe, but at school you might have been and not known it.
0:36:09 > 0:36:12Look she was a big, strange girl. I remember that.
0:36:12 > 0:36:15But we were all strange. We were insecure. We were teenagers.
0:36:15 > 0:36:17You're always telling us that you were voted
0:36:17 > 0:36:19Miss Wordsworth High two years on the run.
0:36:19 > 0:36:21That was a joke thing that the boys did.
0:36:21 > 0:36:23It was nothing official.
0:36:23 > 0:36:25Although it was three years on the run, since you mention it.
0:36:25 > 0:36:28Yeah, so you must've been a bit more secure than Maggie, then?
0:36:28 > 0:36:30Good-looking, slim.
0:36:30 > 0:36:32Thank you, lovely, but I wasn't a bully.
0:36:32 > 0:36:35And anyone who says differently is going to get a Chinese burn.
0:36:42 > 0:36:44Listen.
0:36:44 > 0:36:47Kids pull all sorts of stunts when they're young.
0:36:47 > 0:36:50- Hmm.- You're with the "in" crowd one minute and then suddenly you're not.
0:36:53 > 0:36:56You're talking about wanking at Cub camp
0:36:56 > 0:36:59and then back at school the same boys are suddenly ripping the piss
0:36:59 > 0:37:02out of you in front of everyone and calling you Wanker Hughes.
0:37:03 > 0:37:04For example.
0:37:06 > 0:37:09- I suspect that one might be more of a boy thing.- Maybe.
0:37:13 > 0:37:15You didn't say it was impossible I was a bully.
0:37:21 > 0:37:25It is impossible that you were a bully.

0:38:02 > 0:38:08- # ..You didn't notice me at all. # - I am noticing you right now.
0:38:08 > 0:38:11D'you remember the games you played with Maggie? That'd be fun. Yeah?
0:38:11 > 0:38:14- Is this day one? - What are you talking about?
0:38:14 > 0:38:16The new regime. The Joe plan.
0:38:16 > 0:38:19- I've always done stuff like this with him.- No, you haven't.
0:38:19 > 0:38:21And you're talking in your patient voice,
0:38:21 > 0:38:24- which means you're about to blow. Have you got £30?- What?
0:38:24 > 0:38:27Tickets for the play. You didn't put a cheque in the envelope.
0:38:27 > 0:38:30Joe, headphones...off.
0:38:30 > 0:38:33Ah, no. That's not the deal.
0:38:35 > 0:38:36Joe, no, come on now.
0:38:36 > 0:38:38And I'm not allowed to do this,
0:38:38 > 0:38:41but I'm going to put reserve notices on the front-row seats.
0:38:41 > 0:38:43Ah, ah, ah, don't pull it. OK.
0:38:43 > 0:38:44- OK?- Put it on the table.- Mum?
0:38:44 > 0:38:46Put it on the table, Joe.
0:38:46 > 0:38:48- Are you listening? - Put it on the table.

0:40:20 > 0:40:23The schools want someone to go and talk about the measles jab.
0:40:23 > 0:40:26- I'd like you to do it. - Oh. Right. Thank you.
0:40:26 > 0:40:29I'm not flattering you. I just don't want to do it myself.
0:40:29 > 0:40:31How's your nephew? ADHD, wasn't it?
0:40:31 > 0:40:33Autism spectrum.
0:40:33 > 0:40:37Right. That must've been another boy. I write a lot of letters.
0:40:37 > 0:40:40Mainly for parents trying to get into the better secondary schools.
0:40:40 > 0:40:43- This isn't tactical autism. It's real.- Sure.
0:40:43 > 0:40:46Don't forget to hand out the leaflets when you do the jab talk.
0:40:53 > 0:40:55- Hello.- Hi.
0:40:55 > 0:40:57Yes, I'll write you out a prescription.
0:40:57 > 0:40:59Don't look like you've failed.
0:40:59 > 0:41:01Plenty of men your age have erectile dysfunction.
0:41:01 > 0:41:06- I haven't got erectile dysfunction. I...- Hey. I'm not here to judge.
0:41:09 > 0:41:11Is that it?
0:41:11 > 0:41:14Unless it's me you're planning on sleeping with, then, yes, that's it.
0:41:14 > 0:41:17- You don't want to check my health out or anything?- Maurice.
0:41:17 > 0:41:19I see you running up the side of a mountain every morning.
0:41:19 > 0:41:22I think your health's probably better than mine.
0:41:22 > 0:41:24It's not a mountain. It's a fell. Are there any side effects?
0:41:24 > 0:41:26Some people complain of headaches.
0:41:26 > 0:41:31But sometimes a headache is a small price to pay...
0:41:31 > 0:41:33depending on the woman. Or the man.
0:41:36 > 0:41:40- Does your daughter-in-law think she's settling in here?- What?
0:41:40 > 0:41:43- Her job here. Has she said anything? - Is this the right time or place
0:41:43 > 0:41:45to be talking about my daughter-in-law's job?
0:41:45 > 0:41:48- I think she's made a good start. - Good.
0:41:48 > 0:41:50- Don't forget to tell her. - I'm hardly likely to.
0:41:55 > 0:41:56Mrs Brownlow?
0:41:56 > 0:42:00- Oh, hi, Maurice. - Hello. Hello, there.
0:42:00 > 0:42:03- Nicola.- Nicola.
0:42:11 > 0:42:14Cancel it? What? I thought you said to go ahead.
0:42:14 > 0:42:17You said it was a good idea. I've already started working on it!
0:42:17 > 0:42:19We can't afford any changes right now.
0:42:19 > 0:42:21The rebranding and rebuilding go hand in hand.
0:42:21 > 0:42:24I've already started spending money with your blessing.
0:42:24 > 0:42:26Just get on with running the business, Edwin.
0:42:26 > 0:42:28Don't call me Edwin. D'you want to see the figures?
0:42:28 > 0:42:30I can show you the figures.
0:42:31 > 0:42:33- Is this about Joe? - Why would it be about Joe?
0:42:33 > 0:42:36If you want to save money cos you need it for Joe
0:42:36 > 0:42:37then I'm fine with that.
0:42:37 > 0:42:39Well, if you're fine with it why would you say it?
0:42:39 > 0:42:42Is it about Joe? You said we could afford it two days ago.
0:42:42 > 0:42:44Is there something else I should know about the finances?
0:42:44 > 0:42:48Yes. We make beer. We sell beer. People drink beer.
0:42:48 > 0:42:51They feel good. They fall over. They want more. We make more.
0:42:51 > 0:42:53Now go and Twitter that for size.

0:43:06 > 0:43:08'Hi, Eddie. I've had to go to Manchester. Paul's not picking up.'
0:43:08 > 0:43:10I've been trying to get hold of Maya for hours.
0:43:10 > 0:43:12Is David working there today?
0:43:12 > 0:43:15'Has he got a landline number for her? Would you mind asking him?'
0:43:15 > 0:43:19What am I? Directory Enquiries? D'you think this is a hobby?
0:43:19 > 0:43:22Do the whole family think it's just a hobby I'm doing here?
0:43:22 > 0:43:24- HE HANGS UP - Fuck's sake.
0:43:30 > 0:43:32How it works, love, is this -
0:43:32 > 0:43:34you go and see your GP. He refers you to us.
0:43:34 > 0:43:36We send a letter to your home address
0:43:36 > 0:43:38asking you to phone the appointments line.
0:43:38 > 0:43:41The appointments line, which is in Newcastle, informs us,
0:43:41 > 0:43:43then we write you a letter to give you a time and a date to come here.
0:43:43 > 0:43:46- It's quite straightforward. - I don't need an appointment.
0:43:46 > 0:43:48- You do if you want to see Ms White. - I just need you to tell her
0:43:48 > 0:43:51that I'm here and that I need five minutes of her time.
0:43:51 > 0:43:53See, the problem is all these people have got appointments.
0:43:53 > 0:43:56OK. Could you just give her this note?
0:43:56 > 0:43:58Here.
0:43:58 > 0:43:59There.
0:43:59 > 0:44:02Thank you very much.

0:44:26 > 0:44:29- Hello. Go on through.- Hello there.
0:44:29 > 0:44:30Maggie!
0:44:35 > 0:44:36DOOR CLOSES
0:44:47 > 0:44:49Bye-bye, everyone.
0:45:17 > 0:45:19You hold my hand to cross the road, Joe?
0:45:21 > 0:45:25OK. We can just touch hands if you want. OK? Hmm?
0:46:03 > 0:46:05I just wanted to see you for ten minutes.
0:46:05 > 0:46:07You aren't going to change my mind, Alison.
0:46:07 > 0:46:10I'm not here to change your mind, I'm here to apologise.
0:46:10 > 0:46:13I'm sorry for trying to bully you into working with Joe.
0:46:13 > 0:46:16- And I'm begging you to think again. - Oh. I see.
0:46:16 > 0:46:19I realise there's probably some compromise.
0:46:19 > 0:46:21Maybe you could oversee someone and just come once a month.
0:46:21 > 0:46:24Or once a fortnight, maybe? I can't do it on my own.
0:46:24 > 0:46:26I've tried to do what you do with Joe and it just doesn't work.
0:46:26 > 0:46:29Yeah, I thought for a moment you were going to apologise to me
0:46:29 > 0:46:31for bullying me at school.
0:46:32 > 0:46:35Well, I would, but I, I honestly don't remember.
0:46:35 > 0:46:37Of course if I did, then I apologise for that, I mean...
0:46:37 > 0:46:40I love that modern way of apologising.
0:46:40 > 0:46:42"If I gave offence, I apologise." That isn't an apology.
0:46:42 > 0:46:45That's saying, "The problem's yours, not mine."
0:46:45 > 0:46:48Well. I mean from where I'm standing, we were teenagers.
0:46:48 > 0:46:50We all have our own stuff to deal with.
0:46:50 > 0:46:53- I was probably just as insecure as you.- I am sure that's true.
0:46:53 > 0:46:56But you chose to exercise that insecurity by refusing to
0:46:56 > 0:46:59sit next to me, by making jokes about me.
0:46:59 > 0:47:01I knew I was the weird kid, Alison.
0:47:01 > 0:47:03The best I could hope for was to be ignored,
0:47:03 > 0:47:04and you didn't even give me that.
0:47:07 > 0:47:09I don't know what to say.
0:47:09 > 0:47:11Of course I'm sorry.
0:47:11 > 0:47:14I don't remember it that way, I really don't.
0:47:14 > 0:47:17I mean, it's a long time ago.
0:47:17 > 0:47:20And if that was happening to Rebecca I would be...
0:47:22 > 0:47:24I don't know what else I can do about that now
0:47:24 > 0:47:26except to just keep saying I'm sorry.
0:47:26 > 0:47:28You could pay for my years of therapy, I suppose.
0:47:28 > 0:47:30Well, if you never discovered therapy,
0:47:30 > 0:47:32you might not be doing what you're doing.
0:47:35 > 0:47:36That was a joke, by the way.
0:47:36 > 0:47:40And, look, I know what you think about humour as a defence mechanism and you're dead right.
0:47:40 > 0:47:43I'm just...I'm begging you, Maggie. You opened up something in Joe.
0:47:43 > 0:47:46It's a technique, an approach. I'm a trained therapist, not Jesus.
0:47:46 > 0:47:48Please. I'll do anything to help my child.
0:47:48 > 0:47:50That's what all parents say. And it's true.
0:47:50 > 0:47:53But do you see it's about you again, not your child?
0:47:53 > 0:47:56"I" will do anything to help "my" child.
