0:03:01 > 0:03:04And maybe one other, we don't know yet.

0:03:04 > 0:03:05Yeah, we'll find out tomorrow.

0:03:05 > 0:03:07T'lottery people are looking into it.

0:03:07 > 0:03:08Top man!

0:03:08 > 0:03:10Bloody hell, mate, it's brilliant.

0:03:12 > 0:03:14Here, I tell you what, sunshine,

0:03:14 > 0:03:15you're barred from doing quiz,

0:03:15 > 0:03:18you can afford to buy yer own bloody beer!

0:03:18 > 0:03:19LAUGHTER

0:03:19 > 0:03:20I'll get them in.

0:03:22 > 0:03:23Come on, let's sit down.

0:03:28 > 0:03:29There you go.

0:03:29 > 0:03:31What's this?

0:03:31 > 0:03:33Name of a bloke who can help you find yer dad.

0:03:33 > 0:03:35I didn't even know if I'd kept it.

0:03:35 > 0:03:37I was going to give you it ages ago,

0:03:37 > 0:03:40but he costs £500 a day and we didn't have the money.

0:03:41 > 0:03:42Natalie, come here.

0:03:48 > 0:03:52I'm sorry I was such an arse when't adoption people came round,

0:03:52 > 0:03:54but maybe we don't need them now.

0:04:24 > 0:04:27I'm so sorry that things have not worked out for you.

0:04:27 > 0:04:29It's such a shame.

0:04:29 > 0:04:31I really thought this last time we were in with a real chance.

0:04:31 > 0:04:34How long were you trying before you started IVF?

0:04:35 > 0:04:37About a year after we got together.

0:04:37 > 0:04:39Three years, two months.

0:04:39 > 0:04:42We both knew we wanted children and I'm a bit older than Tom,

0:04:42 > 0:04:45so we thought we better get on with it.

0:04:45 > 0:04:47What do we do now?

0:04:47 > 0:04:49Well, as you've already had three rounds of IVF,

0:04:49 > 0:04:52I'm afraid you've come to the end of the road

0:04:52 > 0:04:54as far as the national health is concerned.

0:04:54 > 0:04:55But we're only in our 30s

0:04:55 > 0:04:57and everybody says there's no medical reason

0:04:57 > 0:04:59why she shouldn't get pregnant.

0:04:59 > 0:05:00Well, you're right,

0:05:00 > 0:05:03and you'd be very surprised how many couples get pregnant naturally

0:05:03 > 0:05:05once the pressure is off.

0:05:05 > 0:05:07I don't get it.

0:05:07 > 0:05:10If it didn't happen before, how's it going to happen now?

0:05:11 > 0:05:14We just need another round and we could crack it this time.

0:05:14 > 0:05:16There's a very good reason why we don't offer

0:05:16 > 0:05:18more than three rounds of IVF...

0:05:18 > 0:05:20Yeah, cos it costs a load of money.

0:05:20 > 0:05:24It also puts a huge emotional strain on any couple.

0:05:24 > 0:05:25We don't mind.

0:05:25 > 0:05:28We just want a baby.

0:05:30 > 0:05:32Then you could consider a private clinic.

0:05:32 > 0:05:35I could recommend a couple of really good ones to you,

0:05:35 > 0:05:38but of course you'd have to pay.

0:05:38 > 0:05:39How much?

0:05:39 > 0:05:41It's about 5,000 a cycle.

0:05:41 > 0:05:43£5,000?

0:05:43 > 0:05:44Look, that's crazy.

0:05:44 > 0:05:47And then there'd be additional costs for medications,

0:05:47 > 0:05:49consultations and tests.

0:05:49 > 0:05:52I'm a nurse on Men's Medical and Natalie's an auxiliary on Maternity,

0:05:52 > 0:05:53we don't have that kind of money.

0:05:53 > 0:05:56Then perhaps you need to consider an alternative route.

0:05:56 > 0:05:58Have you thought about adoption?

0:06:11 > 0:06:13We'll go to the bank.

0:06:15 > 0:06:18And they're just going to give us it.

0:06:18 > 0:06:20We can't even pay loans we've got.

0:06:22 > 0:06:24We'll save up.

0:06:27 > 0:06:30I'm not going to let money stop us having a baby, right?

0:06:31 > 0:06:36You know me, once I get something in me brain, that's it.

0:06:38 > 0:06:42Well, if we are going to start saving,

0:06:42 > 0:06:47you're going to have to stop looking online for your dad.

0:06:47 > 0:06:51It's 120 quid this time on our bank statement.

0:06:51 > 0:06:54It's for us, to make sure he hasn't got anything weird that

0:06:54 > 0:06:56I could pass on to our baby.

0:06:56 > 0:07:00Yeah, but it's not just that, is it? Tom?

0:07:01 > 0:07:05Yeah, all right, I want to find my father, what's wrong with that?

0:07:09 > 0:07:12I'll do anything you want, right?

0:07:12 > 0:07:14OK. SHE SOBS

0:07:18 > 0:07:21I helped deliver twin girls this morning.

0:07:25 > 0:07:27I promise you, it'll happen.

0:07:29 > 0:07:31How can you promise me?

0:07:31 > 0:07:33How?

0:07:37 > 0:07:41Cos I'd move heaven and earth to make you happy.

0:07:41 > 0:07:44And you know me, a can of WD40 and a sticky plaster

0:07:44 > 0:07:46and I can fix anything.

0:07:48 > 0:07:51Text me when you've finished.

0:07:52 > 0:07:53I love you.

0:08:12 > 0:08:16There you are. That'll be £6.30 please, lovey.

0:08:16 > 0:08:18- There you are. 20 change.- Thank you.

0:08:18 > 0:08:22Thank you very much. Hello, sweetheart, how you doodlin'?

0:08:22 > 0:08:23All right, thanks.

0:08:23 > 0:08:25Do you know, I haven't had a chocolate in years.

0:08:25 > 0:08:27I would kill for a Ferrero Rocher,

0:08:27 > 0:08:29but even if I sniffed one, I'd put on half a stone.

0:08:29 > 0:08:32£4.50 please, love.

0:08:32 > 0:08:33Here you are.

0:08:33 > 0:08:35Thank you. 50 change.

0:08:35 > 0:08:38And can I check this? It's not mine, it's a patient's.

0:08:38 > 0:08:41Last night's lottery numbers are up there, sweetheart.

0:08:56 > 0:09:00We've definitely got four numbers, so we'll have won something.

0:09:00 > 0:09:01'Oh, my God! I can't believe it.'

0:09:01 > 0:09:04If we've won a couple of grand, that could go towards another cycle.

0:09:04 > 0:09:05I told you something'd happen.

0:09:05 > 0:09:07I just didn't think it'd be that quick.

0:09:07 > 0:09:09Let me know as soon as you know how much.

0:09:09 > 0:09:12I'll ring you if we're rich and text if it's a couple of hundred.

0:09:12 > 0:09:13Love you.

0:09:13 > 0:09:16Hey, Mandy! Guess what? Jesus, what the hell happened to you?

0:09:16 > 0:09:20Oh, I forgot. Our Reah opened the cupboard door

0:09:20 > 0:09:23to get some Choco Pops and I turned and banged into the corner of it.

0:09:23 > 0:09:25- I saw stars.- Pharmacy delivery.

0:09:25 > 0:09:28Just leave them in supplies, love, and I'll sort it out in a minute.

0:09:28 > 0:09:30Jeez, what's other lass look like?

0:09:30 > 0:09:32Our Reah left cupboard door open and I...

0:09:32 > 0:09:34Yeah, yeah, heard that one before.

0:09:34 > 0:09:37It's true, honestly, you two. I'd tell you.

0:09:37 > 0:09:40- Hey, listen, I reckon we've won something on t'lottery.- How much?

0:09:40 > 0:09:42I dunno, but I've just been down to shop

0:09:42 > 0:09:45and Frieda's definitely got four of our numbers chalked up.

0:09:45 > 0:09:47- Where's Helen? - On the ward, I think.

0:09:47 > 0:09:49What do you get for four numbers?

0:09:49 > 0:09:51I dunno, we might have a Lucky Diamond, as well,

0:09:51 > 0:09:53I need something good to happen today.

0:09:55 > 0:09:58So Dr Atherton doesn't think it's a rash, he thinks it's more

0:09:58 > 0:10:01of a reaction to the antibiotics, so what they are going to do is...

0:10:01 > 0:10:04There you go, Jack. She checked your ticket and I'm sorry, mate,

0:10:04 > 0:10:05you haven't won anything.

0:10:05 > 0:10:07- Aw.- I never bloody do.

0:10:07 > 0:10:09Can I have a word, Helen?

0:10:09 > 0:10:11Yeah.

0:10:11 > 0:10:13Rose! Over here!

0:10:13 > 0:10:15I'm coming!

0:10:15 > 0:10:19Becky'll fix your pillows and make you more comfortable, all right?

0:10:19 > 0:10:22Yeah, she can make me comfortable any time she likes.

0:10:24 > 0:10:27I think we've won something on t'lottery, we've got four numbers.

0:10:27 > 0:10:29- Really?- How do you know?

0:10:29 > 0:10:31Cos they're mine and Natalie's birthdays,

0:10:31 > 0:10:3529th of the 3rd and 17th of the 10th, Frieda's got 'em chalked up.

0:10:35 > 0:10:38- And we might have a Lucky Diamond. - Aye.- Right.

0:10:38 > 0:10:40So are you going to go check them, or what?

0:10:40 > 0:10:42When I've sorted Mr Harris' care-plan out.

0:10:42 > 0:10:45- I can do that. - It'll be on your phone.

0:10:45 > 0:10:48- Which is in my locker. - Well, go on then.

0:10:51 > 0:10:52Was it a roll-over this week?

0:10:52 > 0:10:55I dunno, I never check it, I just let Helen sort it.

0:10:55 > 0:10:57What's Mandy done to her face?

0:10:57 > 0:10:58I've done his pillows,

0:10:58 > 0:11:01but he wants to go to t'toilet now so how do I do that?

0:11:01 > 0:11:03Come on, we better get the hoist.

0:11:13 > 0:11:15Put your hands on there, mate.

0:11:15 > 0:11:19Cos one time a patient let go of it and it swung back

0:11:19 > 0:11:22and smacked me in the face.

0:11:22 > 0:11:24I ended up looking like your mam.

0:11:24 > 0:11:27She slipped getting out of the bath and hit her face on towel rail.

0:11:27 > 0:11:30I'm going to get her a bath mat for Mother's Day so...

0:11:32 > 0:11:34Tom!

0:11:34 > 0:11:36Nurse, can you take over?

0:11:36 > 0:11:39- No, we didn't win anything. - Awww! That's a shame.

0:11:39 > 0:11:40- What, not even a tenner?- How come?

0:11:40 > 0:11:42I could've sworn there were four of me numbers.

0:11:42 > 0:11:45That was years ago when you filled in your line.

0:11:45 > 0:11:47- And we didn't get a Lucky Diamond? - We should've won something.

0:11:47 > 0:11:49Well, we haven't! Right, can we crack on,

0:11:49 > 0:11:52we're late with the drinks, I'm sure the patients are parched.

0:11:52 > 0:11:55- Five minutes.- You left the delivery in the middle of the corridor.

0:11:55 > 0:11:57No, I didn't, I left it by the desk.

0:11:57 > 0:11:58Hang on a minute, Rose.

0:11:58 > 0:12:01I'd like to know what our fifth number and the Lucky Diamonds were?

0:12:01 > 0:12:02- Yeah, me too.- So would I.

0:12:02 > 0:12:05- I'm sure Helen wouldn't...- I'm not accusing her of anything, Mandy.

0:12:05 > 0:12:07But we all trust her with our money every week.

0:12:07 > 0:12:09Clearly you don't trust me.

0:12:09 > 0:12:12I can go online and see how much they're paying out for four numbers and a Lucky Diamond.

0:12:12 > 0:12:14How do we know we haven't won loads of money

0:12:14 > 0:12:16and you've just pocketed it?

0:12:16 > 0:12:18If that's how you think, I don't want any part of it any more.

0:12:18 > 0:12:21I quit! You can do your own bloody syndicate.

0:12:21 > 0:12:23I'm sick to death of it, anyway. I've got enough to do without that.

0:12:23 > 0:12:26I never get so much as a thank you from any of you and I have to

0:12:26 > 0:12:29ask each of you for the money every week, you never offer me it.

0:12:29 > 0:12:31I have to buy the ticket and check the results...

0:12:31 > 0:12:33I thought you bought the ticket online?

0:12:33 > 0:12:35Yes, Mandy, but it just doesn't happen like that.

0:12:35 > 0:12:38I have to make sure there's enough in my bank account and this

0:12:38 > 0:12:41month I've had to pay for my parking and my nurse's registration.

0:12:41 > 0:12:42What are you saying?

0:12:42 > 0:12:46I'm saying, I didn't have enough money in my bank account

0:12:46 > 0:12:51so the ticket didn't go through, all right?! Happy now?

0:12:51 > 0:12:53But you took our money all the same.

0:12:53 > 0:12:54Shit.

0:12:54 > 0:12:58You can have it back! You can all have your two quids back!

0:12:58 > 0:13:02You stupid cow, you've no idea what you've done.

0:13:02 > 0:13:04Hey, come on, love. It's only money.

0:13:04 > 0:13:07It's money that could buy us another round of IVF!

0:13:07 > 0:13:08We've used up t'NHS quota

0:13:08 > 0:13:11and now we've got to pay five grand a pop if we want a baby.

0:13:11 > 0:13:15- Oh, God, that's awful. - My goodness, that's a lot of money.

0:13:15 > 0:13:17My Jeff only had to drop his trousers.

0:13:17 > 0:13:19- Thanks.- Rose!

0:13:19 > 0:13:21Oh, I'm sorry love. Sorry.

0:13:26 > 0:13:28Come on, close that.

0:13:30 > 0:13:32Come here.

0:13:32 > 0:13:34I can't believe we're doing this.

0:13:34 > 0:13:36Yeah, I know. Come on.

0:13:46 > 0:13:50- Let's just try and forget about it. - I can't get this app to work.

0:13:50 > 0:13:53How you doin', mate?

0:13:53 > 0:13:55- Crap.- Nice one. - Now then. Are you quizzin' it later?

0:13:55 > 0:13:57Nah, I've got a date.

0:13:57 > 0:13:59Oh, come on, you're t'only one that knows owt medical,

0:13:59 > 0:14:02- bring Natalie with you. - It's not Nat.

0:14:02 > 0:14:05- Oh, aye!- I can't mate, honestly.

0:14:05 > 0:14:08Bollocks. Well, have your phone on cos we'll be texting you.

0:14:08 > 0:14:10- Yeah. Just ring us if you get stuck. - Good man.

0:14:10 > 0:14:12Can't you remember what your fifth number was?

0:14:12 > 0:14:14Will you shut up about me bloody numbers!

0:14:14 > 0:14:18It doesn't matter what it was, cos she didn't buy the bloody ticket.

0:14:18 > 0:14:20There you go.

0:14:20 > 0:14:23- Shit, it's Mandy's old man.- So?

0:14:23 > 0:14:26- Did you see state of her face? - We don't know it was him, though.

0:14:28 > 0:14:29Now, then.

0:14:29 > 0:14:31- How you doing?- Not so bad.

0:14:31 > 0:14:34- What can I get you? - Pint of beer, mate.- No probs.

0:14:34 > 0:14:35Who else is it going to be?

0:14:35 > 0:14:38Do you remember she had them bruises on her arm and...?

0:14:38 > 0:14:39It means nowt.

0:14:39 > 0:14:41She told us she banged her face on kitchen cupboard

0:14:41 > 0:14:43and then Becky said she'd slipped in the bath.

0:14:43 > 0:14:45Shit.

0:14:45 > 0:14:46Still there, is she?

0:14:46 > 0:14:50Mandy, yeah, I think she's on till 8:00.

0:14:50 > 0:14:54She's made a right mess of her face, hasn't she?

0:14:54 > 0:14:55Yeah.

0:14:55 > 0:14:59I said she should go to ENT, cos she could've cracked her nasal bone.

0:14:59 > 0:15:00Leave it.

0:15:00 > 0:15:03Thing is, I got a bit confused cos she said she did it

0:15:03 > 0:15:06on a cupboard door and then your Becky said she'd slipped in the bath.

0:15:06 > 0:15:09What are you trying to say, pal?

0:15:09 > 0:15:11Nothing.

0:15:11 > 0:15:12There you go.

0:15:13 > 0:15:15Cheers.

0:15:17 > 0:15:21Christ! He's built like a brick shit house, let's get out of here.

0:15:21 > 0:15:23No way. I'm going to drink me beer.

0:15:23 > 0:15:25I'm not frightened of that festering turd.

0:15:25 > 0:15:28Anyway, I feel like decking someone after the day I've had.

0:15:28 > 0:15:30- He's coming back.- Right, let's go.

0:15:31 > 0:15:34A packet of pork scratchings please, mate.

0:15:43 > 0:15:45'Who is it?'

0:15:45 > 0:15:46Me!

0:15:46 > 0:15:48Tom!

0:15:49 > 0:15:51Your son!

0:15:51 > 0:15:53DOOR BUZZES

0:15:55 > 0:15:58How's my lovely, gorgeous mum?

0:15:58 > 0:16:02Don't tell me you haven't been dressed today?

0:16:02 > 0:16:04I couldn't be bothered.

0:16:08 > 0:16:10So you haven't been out anywhere then?

0:16:10 > 0:16:13I've brought you some chocolates and a magazine.

0:16:15 > 0:16:17PHONE RINGS

0:16:19 > 0:16:22Go on.

0:16:22 > 0:16:25Veins are blue so that's unoxygenated,

0:16:25 > 0:16:27so the answer's arteries.

0:16:28 > 0:16:30If you win, you owe me a pint, right.

0:16:33 > 0:16:35Who was that?

0:16:35 > 0:16:37Just me mate Jamal.

0:16:37 > 0:16:39I wish I had a friend.

0:16:39 > 0:16:41Well, you've got to make an effort, Mam.

0:16:41 > 0:16:44You get more like your father every time I see you.

0:16:44 > 0:16:46Sorry, I can't help that.

0:16:47 > 0:16:51Did you look for your wedding certificate like I asked you to?

0:16:51 > 0:16:53No, cos I never had one.

0:16:53 > 0:16:54What?

0:16:54 > 0:16:56We didn't bother.

0:16:56 > 0:17:00You didn't bother?! What do you mean, you didn't bother?

0:17:00 > 0:17:03Just what I said. We were never married.

0:17:03 > 0:17:06Shit, Mam, why didn't you tell me this before?

0:17:06 > 0:17:07You know I've been lookin' for him.

0:17:07 > 0:17:11Well, I said it was a waste of time, but you never listen to me.

0:17:11 > 0:17:14You weren't married. I don't believe it.

0:17:14 > 0:17:20Well, we weren't. And then he left us and that's that!

0:17:20 > 0:17:23We're trying for a baby, Mam.

0:17:23 > 0:17:25I need to know

0:17:25 > 0:17:28if he's got any kind of illness or owt that could be passed on.

0:17:28 > 0:17:32I don't know... In my day, you just got pregnant.

0:17:38 > 0:17:40PHONE RINGS

0:17:43 > 0:17:44Yeah?

0:17:46 > 0:17:48Right...

0:17:48 > 0:17:50Right.

0:17:50 > 0:17:52Who is it?

0:17:52 > 0:17:54No-one, go back to sleep.

0:17:57 > 0:18:01Can I ring you back when I wake up? Cheers.

0:18:06 > 0:18:09Do you know what, I had a dream last night that Mandy rang up

0:18:09 > 0:18:10and said we'd won the lottery.

0:18:10 > 0:18:13And had you bought a ticket this time?

0:18:13 > 0:18:15Yeah, only Becky had lost it. Can you imagine that?

0:18:15 > 0:18:18No. Have you got the cups out?

0:18:18 > 0:18:19Yeah.

0:18:19 > 0:18:22Not the chipped mugs, the ones my sister bought us.

0:18:30 > 0:18:32Somebody did ring in middle of the night!

0:18:34 > 0:18:36You what?

0:18:38 > 0:18:40Check your numbers online. See how much we get for five.

0:18:40 > 0:18:42It might be a couple of hundred, or a couple of thousand,

0:18:42 > 0:18:45but don't get your hopes up, cos she hasn't found the ticket yet.

0:18:45 > 0:18:47Tom, will you get off the phone? This is important!

0:18:47 > 0:18:49DOORBELL RINGS I've got to go.

0:18:49 > 0:18:52- I'm Natalie. Come in. - Isabelle Buckland.- Philip Anderson.

0:18:52 > 0:18:53I'll ring you as soon as they've gone.

0:18:53 > 0:18:56- Tom!- I dunno, about half an hour or less.

0:18:56 > 0:18:58He's a nurse up at St Anthony's.

0:18:58 > 0:19:01- It's one of his colleagues ringing him about a patient.- Right.

0:19:01 > 0:19:05Sorry about that, missing lottery ticket. Right, I'm all yours.

0:19:07 > 0:19:08What's up, what have I said?

0:19:08 > 0:19:11Isabelle Buckland and Philip Anderson.

0:19:11 > 0:19:12Hello.

0:19:12 > 0:19:15Tom, pleased to meet you, do you want to take a seat.

0:19:18 > 0:19:19Do you want a cup of tea?

0:19:19 > 0:19:22We're fine. We've just had one and we're running a bit late.

0:19:25 > 0:19:29So we've been looking at your Registration Of Interest form.

0:19:29 > 0:19:30Great.

0:19:30 > 0:19:35And we noticed that you had IVF seven months ago.

0:19:35 > 0:19:39That's right. Unfortunately, it didn't work, though.

0:19:39 > 0:19:41Right. Well, the first thing I have to say is

0:19:41 > 0:19:45we like prospective adoptive parents to wait at least a year after IVF.

0:19:45 > 0:19:47Why's that, then?

0:19:47 > 0:19:49To process the loss before moving on to...

0:19:49 > 0:19:52I don't understand why everything is so difficult.

0:19:52 > 0:19:55Me and Nat want a baby, everybody says we'd make great parents

0:19:55 > 0:19:58and there's probably some kid somewhere in a home that

0:19:58 > 0:20:00needs people like us to look after it.

0:20:00 > 0:20:03I'm a trained nurse, she works on Maternity,

0:20:03 > 0:20:05so why make a problem when there isn't one?

0:20:05 > 0:20:07I'm not making a problem.

0:20:07 > 0:20:10It's no good getting at them, Tom, they don't make up the rules.

0:20:12 > 0:20:15I'm sorry. I'm just...sorry.

0:20:15 > 0:20:19If you do eventually adopt, have you thought about your child care plan?

0:20:20 > 0:20:21I'm sorry?

0:20:21 > 0:20:25Which one of you will give up work to look after the baby or child?

0:20:25 > 0:20:27Neither of us can afford to give up work.

0:20:27 > 0:20:31I'm sure you know NHS don't kill you with money and we've loans

0:20:31 > 0:20:33and rent and bills to pay.

0:20:34 > 0:20:36You haven't listed your debts down here.

0:20:36 > 0:20:38- Cos it's none of your business, that's why.- Tom!

0:20:38 > 0:20:41What? Why should they know how much we owe?

0:20:41 > 0:20:43We want a child, not a bank loan.

0:20:43 > 0:20:47We're good people and we can offer a kid a loving home.

0:20:47 > 0:20:51Both my sister's children went to nursery when they were babies.

0:20:51 > 0:20:52We wouldn't advise that,

0:20:52 > 0:20:55most of our children have been traumatised in one way or another.

0:20:55 > 0:20:57What they need is stability.

0:20:57 > 0:21:00So moving on to the medical part of the form,

0:21:00 > 0:21:03I see you had a mental health issue.

0:21:03 > 0:21:06When I were ten, and I wouldn't call it a mental health issue -

0:21:06 > 0:21:08my dad left and I were a bit depressed.

0:21:08 > 0:21:10I think that's called normal.

0:21:10 > 0:21:13- Can we talk about that?- Why?

0:21:13 > 0:21:17We did explain at the information meeting that sometimes it

0:21:17 > 0:21:19- feels as though we're scrutinising...- You are.

0:21:19 > 0:21:22- Will you let her speak?- Because a child's wellbeing is at stake.

0:21:26 > 0:21:27All right.

0:21:28 > 0:21:33I ran away from home. I thought I could find my dad.

0:21:34 > 0:21:37He just upped sticks and left us

0:21:37 > 0:21:40and I couldn't understand why he'd done that.

0:21:43 > 0:21:45And you spent time in High Roydes children's psychiatric unit.

0:21:45 > 0:21:49Six weeks cos me mam couldn't cope with me.

0:21:51 > 0:21:53When they found me and brought me home,

0:21:53 > 0:21:57I stopped eating and talking.

0:21:57 > 0:22:02I thought if I did that, somebody'd make me dad come back.

0:22:04 > 0:22:06All right?

0:22:06 > 0:22:07Thank you.

0:22:12 > 0:22:16- Is that going to go against us? - Not necessarily.

0:22:16 > 0:22:18There's been no incident of depression since then?

0:22:18 > 0:22:21No, I just realised he was a bastard and got over it.

0:22:21 > 0:22:24Have you seen your father since he left?

0:22:24 > 0:22:26- No.- Do you want to?

0:22:26 > 0:22:28For God's sake!

0:22:28 > 0:22:30What difference does that make to us adopting a kid?

0:22:30 > 0:22:32I'm sorry, I'm afraid we do have to ask these questions.

0:22:32 > 0:22:34That's all right.

0:22:34 > 0:22:36Are there any other members of your family that have,

0:22:36 > 0:22:38or have had mental health issues?

0:22:38 > 0:22:41Yeah, I'm from a family of complete nutters.

0:22:41 > 0:22:43My mother's a psycho and I'm a loony.

0:22:43 > 0:22:47Will that do you? You know what? I've had enough.

0:22:47 > 0:22:49I'm off out.

0:22:49 > 0:22:53Tom! Where are you going? Tom?

0:22:57 > 0:22:59I'm sorry.

0:23:01 > 0:23:03I'm going to come back to that in just a moment.

0:23:03 > 0:23:05Tom! Tom!

0:23:05 > 0:23:07There you go.

0:23:07 > 0:23:09What is the first thing that you are going to buy?

0:23:09 > 0:23:13Well, we're trying for a baby, so that's going to take some money, and

0:23:13 > 0:23:16I haven't seen my father since I were ten, so I'd like to track him down.

0:23:16 > 0:23:18I think, after this, he might be tracking YOU down.

0:23:18 > 0:23:20Yeah, he'll be knocking your door down, mate.

0:23:20 > 0:23:23So if you're starting a family, are you going to buy a bigger house?

0:23:23 > 0:23:24I like it where I live.

0:23:24 > 0:23:27It's got two bedrooms and all my mates live near us

0:23:27 > 0:23:28so why would I want to move?

0:23:28 > 0:23:30Too right.

0:23:30 > 0:23:33Oh, and we can walk to Hog's Head for a pint!

0:23:33 > 0:23:36- Yeah! He's not going to change. - Tommy!

0:23:36 > 0:23:37What about a flash car, then?

0:23:37 > 0:23:39Oh, aye, I'm going to buy meself one of them.

0:23:39 > 0:23:41What've you got now?

0:23:41 > 0:23:43Just a motorbike, but it freezes me bollocks off in winter.

0:23:43 > 0:23:45THEY LAUGH

0:23:45 > 0:23:49- Did he just say bollocks on live TV? - We are live, Tom.

0:23:49 > 0:23:51So what are you going to get?

0:23:51 > 0:23:53Dunno, a Maserati or a Bentley.

0:23:53 > 0:23:55I think I'd get a baby Bentley. That would suit me.

0:23:55 > 0:23:58He wouldn't know a Maserati if it ran him over.

0:23:58 > 0:24:00Rose. What are you going to do...?

0:24:00 > 0:24:01That's enough of that.

0:24:03 > 0:24:07Lucky bastard. Are you off round to his house later?

0:24:07 > 0:24:10Might as well, he's buying t'beer.

0:24:25 > 0:24:28Come and talk to her, tell her she has to come to the party.

0:24:28 > 0:24:31It won't be same if we're not all there.

0:24:31 > 0:24:34I better not, your dad's here and I don't think he likes me.

0:24:34 > 0:24:37Don't be daft, he's just a grumpy sod sometimes.

0:24:37 > 0:24:39Me mam'll come if she thinks she's letting

0:24:39 > 0:24:42you down, and once she's there she'll enjoy herself.

0:24:42 > 0:24:43Come on.

0:24:45 > 0:24:47All right, two minutes cos I've gotta call to the shop

0:24:47 > 0:24:49and get some orange juice for Alan.

0:24:53 > 0:24:56I'm home, Mam!

0:24:56 > 0:25:00Hello, sweetheart. Where's your nanna?

0:25:00 > 0:25:03- I don't know. - Hi, Reah, love, how are you doing?

0:25:03 > 0:25:05Mum! Dad!

0:25:05 > 0:25:07Where is everybody?

0:25:10 > 0:25:12What's wrong with you? You look like death warmed up.

0:25:12 > 0:25:16I've had a bit of an upset tummy. Hello, love.

0:25:16 > 0:25:17Hiya.

0:25:17 > 0:25:21You're not getting out of it like that. Take an indigestion tablet.

0:25:21 > 0:25:24Did Dad record Look North for us? I texted him.

0:25:24 > 0:25:26I don't know.

0:25:26 > 0:25:27Where is he?

0:25:27 > 0:25:29He's, er...he's had to go away.

0:25:29 > 0:25:31Where to?

0:25:31 > 0:25:36This job came up in Suffolk so he had to leave tonight cos

0:25:36 > 0:25:39- they're working first thing in the morning.- Me dad?

0:25:39 > 0:25:41Yes, your dad.

0:25:41 > 0:25:43It's a big job and they're paying a lot of money.

0:25:43 > 0:25:45It's been ages since he worked away.

0:25:45 > 0:25:47His car's outside.

0:25:47 > 0:25:50His mate picked him up, they're sharing petrol.

0:25:50 > 0:25:52So are you coming to the party, then?

0:25:52 > 0:25:54Oh, I don't know.

0:25:54 > 0:25:55'Course she is.

0:25:55 > 0:25:58Come on, lets go put something nice on for the party.

0:25:58 > 0:26:00- See you later, Tom.- Ta-rah.

0:26:03 > 0:26:05Are you all right?

0:26:05 > 0:26:09Yeah, it's just been a long day and Helen rang and gave me a gob-full.

0:26:09 > 0:26:13Come round to ours, have a drink and forget about it all.

0:26:13 > 0:26:15You can't not come, Mandy, it'd spoil it for everyone.

0:26:15 > 0:26:19I'll come and raise a glass, then I'll bring our Reah back

0:26:19 > 0:26:20and leave Becky to enjoy herself.

0:26:20 > 0:26:23- That Luke turned up on the ward after you'd gone.- Did he?

0:26:23 > 0:26:26And Rose said there was a bit of a row between him and your Becky.

0:26:26 > 0:26:28I think she was a bit cut up.

0:26:28 > 0:26:30So I think we could all do with a drink,

0:26:30 > 0:26:32celebrate t'last day of being skint.

0:26:32 > 0:26:34See you later.

0:26:52 > 0:26:55As soon as that money hits my bank, boy, am I going to spend it.

0:26:55 > 0:26:57What are you going to buy?

0:26:57 > 0:27:01A 67 E-type, a racehorse, yacht,

0:27:01 > 0:27:04a few holidays, you know, Thailand, Maldives. You name it.

0:27:04 > 0:27:07So how long do you reckon before you're skint again?

0:27:07 > 0:27:1014 million's a lot to get through, we could easy live off interest.

0:27:10 > 0:27:14I'm not letting them money-grabbing bastards at the bank get hold of it.

0:27:14 > 0:27:16I'm going to buy a bloody great safe and keep it all in there.

0:27:16 > 0:27:19We're thinking of making t'landlord an offer on this house, aren't we?

0:27:19 > 0:27:22- Yeah.- You want to get yourself somewhere decent.

0:27:22 > 0:27:25You could have a four-bedroom detached with a games room and bar.

0:27:25 > 0:27:27- We like living here. - You tell him.

0:27:27 > 0:27:30But it makes sense to try and buy it cos he's putting rents up again.

0:27:30 > 0:27:33- Who told you that? - Him from t'letting agent came round this morning

0:27:33 > 0:27:35cos I rang them about t'damp in the kitchen.

0:27:35 > 0:27:38I don't know how you're going to manage with a baby here,

0:27:38 > 0:27:39cos t'back bedroom's so small.

0:27:39 > 0:27:41Well, the cot'll be in with us at first.

0:27:41 > 0:27:43And then if we buy it, we could always build on.

0:27:43 > 0:27:46Yeah, do a dormer, me sister's got a dormer, they're ace.

0:27:46 > 0:27:48Anyway, I don't know why we're talking about it,

0:27:48 > 0:27:50cos I'm not even pregnant yet.

0:27:50 > 0:27:51Yeah, but you soon will be.

0:27:51 > 0:27:53That's if you're not firing blanks, mate.

0:27:53 > 0:27:56Well, I'm not, you pillock. I've been tested

0:27:56 > 0:27:58and I have a very high sperm count, I'll have you know.

0:27:58 > 0:28:00THEY LAUGH

0:28:00 > 0:28:02And if I do end up buying this house, I'll see if he'll sell me

0:28:02 > 0:28:05any more on the row. I might even buy yours.

0:28:05 > 0:28:07Well, at least we'd get the damp sorted.

0:28:11 > 0:28:14Look at your face, you stupid git. I'm joking.

0:28:15 > 0:28:17Oh, take care of t'food, love.

0:28:18 > 0:28:21- Tom.- Thanks for coming, Martin.

0:28:21 > 0:28:23No problem, seemed to make sense.

0:28:23 > 0:28:25Come in. She's inside.

0:28:25 > 0:28:28First thing Monday morning, I'm going to get me knees booked in.

0:28:28 > 0:28:30Why? What's up with them?

0:28:30 > 0:28:33Knackered through years of flinging myself around the dance floor.

0:28:33 > 0:28:36Mam, this is Martin, he's come to talk to you.

0:28:36 > 0:28:37What about?

0:28:39 > 0:28:43Sit here, love, I'll have to move before I seize up.

0:28:43 > 0:28:46Give us a hand, will ya? Ta.

0:28:46 > 0:28:48- Thanks.- My pleasure.

0:28:51 > 0:28:53So, Dawn...

0:28:54 > 0:28:57- Who's he?- Someone Natalie found.

0:28:57 > 0:29:00He does searches for people, he's an ex-copper.

0:29:00 > 0:29:02So you're still looking for your dad?

0:29:02 > 0:29:04I can afford to do it proper now.

0:29:04 > 0:29:05We're heading off.

0:29:05 > 0:29:09What? We haven't got all t'food out yet and not everybody's here.

0:29:09 > 0:29:12We're off to t'pub, mate. She's a bit cold.

0:29:12 > 0:29:16- Well, put a coat on. - Are you off, too?

0:29:16 > 0:29:18Er...yeah, I said we'd meet Paul and Gazza.

0:29:18 > 0:29:20Well, bring 'em back, we've got loads of beer

0:29:20 > 0:29:22and t'burgers'll be ready in a minute.

0:29:22 > 0:29:24Yeah, might do.

0:29:24 > 0:29:27No point paying for it when you can get it for free.

0:29:27 > 0:29:29- Cheers, mate.- See you later.

0:29:29 > 0:29:33I hope so, I got all this booze in cos I thought you were staying,

0:29:33 > 0:29:35it's not even 9:30 yet.

0:29:35 > 0:29:37Enjoy your party.

0:29:38 > 0:29:40What the bloody hell's up with them?

0:29:40 > 0:29:42Jealous.

0:29:42 > 0:29:45Nah, they're not like that, they're made up for me.

0:29:50 > 0:29:53Hiya! Hiya! Are you all right?

0:29:53 > 0:29:54Hiya!

0:29:54 > 0:29:56Where's your mam?

0:29:56 > 0:29:59Oh. She said she wanted to stay at home and look after our Reah

0:29:59 > 0:30:01cos she thought it was a bit late for her.

0:30:01 > 0:30:02Couldn't your dad do that?

0:30:02 > 0:30:04He's in Suffolk.

0:30:04 > 0:30:06Yeah, I don't know what's going on with him.

0:30:06 > 0:30:09Last night he said he was packing in work cos we've won the lottery.

0:30:09 > 0:30:10And then he goes working away.

0:30:10 > 0:30:12PHONE BEEPS

0:30:12 > 0:30:14That'll be your mam.

0:30:17 > 0:30:20It's that Luke. He's sent me a text, saying he's sorry.

0:30:22 > 0:30:24What do you think I am?!

0:30:24 > 0:30:26Bloody hell, what did I say?

0:30:26 > 0:30:29I think your friend's either pissed or a pervert.

0:30:29 > 0:30:31- He can't be pissed.- He doesn't drink. And he's not a pervert!

0:30:31 > 0:30:34Really? Well, he just offered me five grand to go on holiday with him

0:30:34 > 0:30:37like I'm some sort of bloody prostitute! Tosser.

0:30:37 > 0:30:38Shit.

0:30:41 > 0:30:42Are you all right, mate?

0:30:42 > 0:30:44Yeah. Apart from dripping in red wine, yeah.

0:30:44 > 0:30:46- What did you say to Natalie's sister?- Nowt.

0:30:46 > 0:30:48I said I was planning on going to Thailand

0:30:48 > 0:30:50and I was looking for someone to come with me.

0:30:50 > 0:30:51I think she took it wrong way.

0:30:51 > 0:30:53What are you drinking?

0:30:53 > 0:30:56Orange juice. I've had a little doobie though.

0:30:56 > 0:30:58Well, don't go flashing it about, that bloke inside

0:30:58 > 0:30:59with me mam is an ex-copper.

0:30:59 > 0:31:02Well, thanks for the nod. Where's Mandy?

0:31:02 > 0:31:04Her dickhead husband's working away so she's babysitting.

0:31:04 > 0:31:06Ah. That's a shame.

0:31:06 > 0:31:09I saw all his tools in the back of his car when I were leaving.

0:31:17 > 0:31:19Is this your usual stomping ground, then?

0:31:19 > 0:31:21No, it was the only place I could think of that was

0:31:21 > 0:31:23halfway between yours and mine.

0:31:23 > 0:31:25You could've come to the party.

0:31:25 > 0:31:27I'm sorry if I've dragged you away from your...

0:31:27 > 0:31:30Oh, no, it's all right, they're just people I work with.

0:31:30 > 0:31:32I mean, you met 'em all when I came for t'ticket.

0:31:32 > 0:31:35Oh, right. Were you celebrating?

0:31:35 > 0:31:38Yeah, it's our Last Day Being Poor party.

0:31:38 > 0:31:40SHE GIGGLES

0:31:40 > 0:31:43Money goes into t'bank tomorrow.

0:31:43 > 0:31:45What are you going to buy?

0:31:45 > 0:31:53Loads of clothes, a house for me and Reah, driving lessons, a boob job.

0:31:53 > 0:31:56What for? You've got great...boobs.

0:31:56 > 0:31:59Excuse me, how do you know?

0:31:59 > 0:32:00Well, they look all right to me.

0:32:00 > 0:32:02SHE GIGGLES

0:32:02 > 0:32:05Cos I've got a bra full of silicone, that's why.

0:32:05 > 0:32:08And a holiday somewhere warm, and that's just for starters.

0:32:17 > 0:32:21I meant it, you know, about giving you some money.

0:32:21 > 0:32:23I don't want it, it's your money.

0:32:23 > 0:32:26Yeah, but we wouldn't have it if it wasn't for you.

0:32:26 > 0:32:27Don't be silly.

0:32:30 > 0:32:32I'm just glad you kept my number.

0:32:32 > 0:32:35Well, I wasn't going to throw it away, was I?

0:32:35 > 0:32:37Why didn't you ring me?

0:32:37 > 0:32:39You didn't give me a chance.

0:32:39 > 0:32:43Anyway, I felt like an idiot telling you I played for the Bulls

0:32:43 > 0:32:46when I just worked in hospitality.

0:32:46 > 0:32:48I don't know what made me say it.

0:32:48 > 0:32:52Yeah, I do, I liked you.

0:32:56 > 0:32:59You're not going to die on me, are you?

0:32:59 > 0:33:01What?

0:33:03 > 0:33:08I have a shit record wi' lads, they either die or dump me.

0:33:09 > 0:33:12I promise I won't do either.

0:33:14 > 0:33:18Good. Are you going to kiss me, then?

0:33:34 > 0:33:37If we're both on late we can go to the cash machine first thing,

0:33:37 > 0:33:40and then we'll go see about getting us a baby.

0:33:40 > 0:33:42We've got to be in work at 2:00.

0:33:42 > 0:33:45You know we don't have to work, any more.

0:33:45 > 0:33:46Yeah, but I want to.

0:33:47 > 0:33:49Me too.

0:33:51 > 0:33:53I'll give up when I have a baby.

0:33:53 > 0:33:56It's freezing in this bedroom.

0:33:56 > 0:33:59If we end up buying, we'll get another radiator put in,

0:33:59 > 0:34:01or underfloor heating.

0:34:01 > 0:34:05Yeah. It's weird Jamal and Ruth never came back to party.

0:34:05 > 0:34:08Yeah. None of them did, I don't know what's up with 'em,

0:34:08 > 0:34:10it's not like them to miss a free beer.

0:34:13 > 0:34:15THEY GIGGLE

0:34:19 > 0:34:21Hey, that Martin's good.

0:34:21 > 0:34:23He wangled some stuff out of me mam.

0:34:23 > 0:34:26She told him me dad had some family that lived down south.

0:34:26 > 0:34:29Really? She's never mentioned that before.

0:34:29 > 0:34:32Do you think she didn't want you to know?

0:34:32 > 0:34:35Yeah, like she didn't want me to know she hadn't bothered marrying him.

0:34:35 > 0:34:37She even made this big deal after he left about us

0:34:37 > 0:34:40changing our name back to Bedford.

0:34:40 > 0:34:43I can't imagine you been called Saleem, it's weird.

0:34:54 > 0:34:58I don't know how he could just walk away from me like that.

0:34:58 > 0:35:01I'm part of him.

0:35:11 > 0:35:14You know, if I'm ever lucky enough to have a kid,

0:35:14 > 0:35:18I'll never leave him, never.

0:35:19 > 0:35:21So you'll be stuck with me.

0:35:21 > 0:35:23Oh, no, I might get fed up with you.

0:35:23 > 0:35:27You what?! What did you say? Come here. Right, that's it.

0:35:27 > 0:35:28THEY LAUGH

0:35:37 > 0:35:42- RECEPTIONIST:- If you could bring with you your GP's referral letter.

0:35:42 > 0:35:44PHONE RINGS

0:35:44 > 0:35:47Martin. Can I call you back? Just at an appointment.

0:35:47 > 0:35:50No problem, I'll call you when we're done.

0:35:51 > 0:35:53Says he's got some news.

0:35:53 > 0:35:55Hello, how can I help you?

0:35:55 > 0:35:59So we don't have to go on any weird diet this time, then?

0:35:59 > 0:36:02Personally, I don't think diet or lifestyle

0:36:02 > 0:36:04make an iota of difference.

0:36:04 > 0:36:07If your sperm count's perfectly normal

0:36:07 > 0:36:10and there are no biological reason for you not to conceive,

0:36:10 > 0:36:14- and no genetic conditions that should concern us.- Like what?

0:36:14 > 0:36:16Hereditary diseases, illnesses.

0:36:16 > 0:36:19But if there's nothing to worry about,

0:36:19 > 0:36:23I think we should crack on and help mother nature as soon as possible.

0:36:23 > 0:36:27Great. Everything seems to take for ever when you haven't got money.

0:36:27 > 0:36:30The thing is, how do I know if we've got anything to worry about?

0:36:30 > 0:36:32When he said, "Have you any questions?",

0:36:32 > 0:36:34you should've asked him about your dad.

0:36:34 > 0:36:36They might be able to screen for these things.

0:36:36 > 0:36:38I just don't want to put sticks up for us again.

0:36:38 > 0:36:42They're not going to put sticks up, we're paying for this.

0:36:42 > 0:36:43Boot's on the other foot now.

0:36:43 > 0:36:45ATM BEEPS

0:36:45 > 0:36:47Nothing yet.

0:36:47 > 0:36:50Bloody hell, how come we've spent 76 quid? We haven't done anything.

0:36:50 > 0:36:53I reckon that's your nurse's registration fees,

0:36:53 > 0:36:54it's on direct debit.

0:36:54 > 0:36:56I don't get why I have to pay 'em to do me job.

0:36:56 > 0:36:58It's shit money, anyway, it doesn't make sense.

0:36:58 > 0:37:00We don't have to worry about that any more.

0:37:00 > 0:37:01Yeah. We don't!

0:37:01 > 0:37:03I bet yours is a damn sight healthier than mine.

0:37:03 > 0:37:06Don't you believe it. So what's new?

0:37:06 > 0:37:07Do you want to go somewhere?

0:37:07 > 0:37:11No, it's all right, we've got to be at work in just over an hour.

0:37:11 > 0:37:15Right, well, I've tracked a Mohammad Saleem in Birmingham.

0:37:15 > 0:37:17I've found a million Mohammed Saleems,

0:37:17 > 0:37:19they live all over the bloody place.

0:37:19 > 0:37:21This one's about the right age.

0:37:21 > 0:37:23So I got a mate of mine to do a CRB check

0:37:23 > 0:37:26and it turned out that he has a criminal record.

0:37:26 > 0:37:30Great. What is he, a murderer, a rapist, a child molester?

0:37:30 > 0:37:34Try driving an un-roadworthy vehicle down the M1 without tax

0:37:34 > 0:37:38or insurance on the 31st of March 1985.

0:37:40 > 0:37:44Two days after my birthday. Yeah, that fits.

0:37:44 > 0:37:46A red Datsun Cherry.

0:37:48 > 0:37:52That's it, it was always conking out.

0:37:52 > 0:37:55I have an address, but it's over 20 years ago

0:37:55 > 0:37:57so he might not still live there.

0:37:57 > 0:37:59Do you want me to follow it up, or...?

0:37:59 > 0:38:00ATM BEEPS

0:38:00 > 0:38:03Tom! Tom! Money's in!

0:38:05 > 0:38:09Oh, my God! Tom, look at this!

0:38:09 > 0:38:11THEY SCREAM

0:38:14 > 0:38:16Take a photo of it.

0:38:21 > 0:38:23Hey, look at that.

0:38:23 > 0:38:25There's so many numbers, I can't work out how much.

0:38:25 > 0:38:28- Just look at the 14.- I'm going to go and check if mine's in.

0:38:28 > 0:38:30You can't, you've got to take Eric down to X-ray.

0:38:30 > 0:38:33Sod that for a lark, this is way more important.

0:38:33 > 0:38:36Alan! You'll have to ring for another porter.

0:38:37 > 0:38:40He stinks of booze.

0:38:40 > 0:38:44No! Oh, I hope he hasn't started drinking again.

0:38:44 > 0:38:47I thought he was pissed last night, but he said he'd been on the weed.

0:38:47 > 0:38:50- Tom, can I have a word? - Yeah, sure.

0:38:50 > 0:38:51Mr Appleby needs a bed pan.

0:38:51 > 0:38:54You need to fill in a requisition form for a new soap dispenser

0:38:54 > 0:38:56and there's two commodes waiting to be sanitised.

0:38:56 > 0:38:59Yeah. And I'll stick a brush up my backside and sweep the ward

0:38:59 > 0:39:02- while I'm at it, shall I?- Excuse me?

0:39:02 > 0:39:05I'm on me break and I'm just about to check me bank balance.

0:39:05 > 0:39:07Erm...I've checked the duty roster

0:39:07 > 0:39:09and there's no way you can take time off.

0:39:09 > 0:39:11Your problem.

0:39:12 > 0:39:14This is getting bloody ridiculous.

0:39:14 > 0:39:16I'll have to have a word with matron.

0:39:16 > 0:39:18Right, I was checking the CD cupboard earlier

0:39:18 > 0:39:20and we're nearly out of Diazilum.

0:39:20 > 0:39:22Do you want me to ring down to pharmacy or buzz Dr Samuels?

0:39:22 > 0:39:25No, Tom, I want to know where they've all gone.

0:39:25 > 0:39:26We're at least a full packet short,

0:39:26 > 0:39:29- we should have had enough to last till the end of the week.- So?

0:39:29 > 0:39:31So I've been looking at these drug sheets

0:39:31 > 0:39:33and it seems like all Nurse Atkinson's...

0:39:33 > 0:39:34Nurse Atkinson? Do you mean Mandy?

0:39:34 > 0:39:36I'm trying to be professional here, Tom.

0:39:36 > 0:39:39All these sheets have been counter-signed by either you

0:39:39 > 0:39:41or some scrawl that I can't make out.

0:39:41 > 0:39:44So what are you saying, we've got a little drug syndicate going,

0:39:44 > 0:39:47I'm knicking Diazilum and selling it out on the street?

0:39:47 > 0:39:49It's not funny, Tom.

0:39:49 > 0:39:51Yeah, well, I'm not laughing, it's sick.

0:39:51 > 0:39:54You're trying to stitch us up cos we won the lottery

0:39:54 > 0:39:57and you didn't get a bean. You left, Helen, get over it.

0:40:05 > 0:40:06Helen's in a foul mood.

0:40:06 > 0:40:09You'll never guess what she's come up with now.

0:40:09 > 0:40:11She's only accusing me and you of nicking Diazilum.

0:40:11 > 0:40:12What?

0:40:12 > 0:40:15Don't worry, I told her she's off her rocker

0:40:15 > 0:40:18and it's no good being all bitter and twisted.

0:40:18 > 0:40:22Hey! Don't look so worried, t'money's in t'bank, we're rich!

0:40:22 > 0:40:25Are you doing the drug round?

0:40:25 > 0:40:27Yeah, I was just getting things ready.

0:40:27 > 0:40:29They've upped Mr Arnold's pain relief.

0:40:29 > 0:40:32Right. Hey, you missed a good party last night.

0:40:32 > 0:40:34Sorry I didn't make it.

0:40:34 > 0:40:36It were a bit late for our Reah to be out and...

0:40:36 > 0:40:37BUZZING I'll get it.

0:40:59 > 0:41:03Janice Weaver. I believe you have a Rose Marie Wilson working here?

0:41:03 > 0:41:06Yeah, why? What do you want her for?

0:41:06 > 0:41:08Alan, I will come round...

0:41:08 > 0:41:12Oh, sorry, I thought it was... Are you all right, love?

0:41:12 > 0:41:16Yeah, I just needed to get a migraine tablet out of me bag.

0:41:16 > 0:41:19Helen's doing my head in.

0:41:19 > 0:41:21She's turned into Attila The Hun since we won the lottery.

0:41:21 > 0:41:24She won't let me have time off for me knees, and I know it's

0:41:24 > 0:41:26cos I said she shouldn't have any of the win.

0:41:26 > 0:41:29I need to find some cover for a couple of days an'all.

0:41:29 > 0:41:33Well, I'm taking it off. What's she going to do, sack me?

0:41:33 > 0:41:35I'm thinking of leaving anyway.

0:41:35 > 0:41:39Really? It won't be same without you.

0:41:39 > 0:41:42I can't work with Little Hitler rampaging about.

0:41:42 > 0:41:46I'd rather be home with my family, helping out with our Ashley.

0:41:46 > 0:41:49There's some official-looking woman asking to see you.

0:41:49 > 0:41:50Janice Weaver,

0:41:50 > 0:41:53she says she's from the Department Of Pensions or something.

0:41:53 > 0:41:58What? Tell her I'm not here.

0:41:58 > 0:42:01Tell her...tell her I don't work here.

0:42:01 > 0:42:04- I think she knows that you do. - Well, stall her, will you?

0:42:04 > 0:42:06I'll do my best.

0:42:12 > 0:42:15If you could just be careful with your watch on the paintwork.

0:42:15 > 0:42:16Sorry.

0:42:20 > 0:42:22So how fast do you think it could get us to Birmingham?

0:42:22 > 0:42:25It depends. It's a very powerful engine,

0:42:25 > 0:42:28but you wouldn't want to break the speed limit, would you?

0:42:28 > 0:42:31We could drive it home, get changed and go straight off.

0:42:31 > 0:42:33I'm sorry, but you need to book for a test drive.

0:42:33 > 0:42:36Or we could drive it into town get some new clothes

0:42:36 > 0:42:37and drive straight off.

0:42:37 > 0:42:40Yeah! Good plan, but what will we do with the bike?

0:42:42 > 0:42:44We could leave it at the hospital and pick it up when we get back.

0:42:44 > 0:42:49- Excuse me, could you just... - We're both nurses at St Anthony's.

0:42:50 > 0:42:54Right. Well, why don't you have a think about it.

0:42:54 > 0:42:57I have to be honest, it's not economical on petrol

0:42:57 > 0:43:00and it'll be a fair old amount to tax and insure, so...

0:43:00 > 0:43:02Yeah, but it's nice, isn't it?

0:43:05 > 0:43:06I think we'll take it.

0:43:11 > 0:43:13Do I look all right in this suit?

0:43:13 > 0:43:17Yeah. You look gorgeous. He'll be proud of you.

0:43:17 > 0:43:19I don't care what he thinks.

0:43:19 > 0:43:21I mean, he's not going to still live here, is he?

0:43:21 > 0:43:24No, but they might have a forwarding address for him.

0:43:24 > 0:43:26What if he answers the door?

0:43:26 > 0:43:28Then you'll have found him. Press the bell.

0:43:42 > 0:43:44Yes, can I help you?

0:43:46 > 0:43:51Yeah, I'm looking for a Mohammed Saleem, do you know him?

0:43:51 > 0:43:53And you are?

0:43:53 > 0:43:55I'm Tom and this is Natalie.

0:43:55 > 0:43:58- Hello.- Hi.- Does he live here?

0:43:58 > 0:44:00What do you want him for?

0:44:01 > 0:44:03Are you his wife?

0:44:03 > 0:44:05No, I'm his daughter.

0:44:05 > 0:44:09His daughter?! You can't be his daughter.

0:44:09 > 0:44:12Well, I am. What do you want my father for?

0:44:13 > 0:44:15You don't know me then?

0:44:15 > 0:44:17No, why should I?

0:44:19 > 0:44:21No reason.

0:44:23 > 0:44:27Well, I'm Tom from Bradford. My dad...was a friend of his.

0:44:27 > 0:44:28Right.

0:44:28 > 0:44:31And he told me if I was ever down here to look him up.

0:44:31 > 0:44:34I see, well, my parents have taken my son to the park.

0:44:34 > 0:44:36My brother's having a party this evening

0:44:36 > 0:44:38and we're trying to get things ready.

0:44:38 > 0:44:40You have a brother?

0:44:40 > 0:44:41Two, Tariq and Imran.

0:44:45 > 0:44:48You know, I am trying to make sense of this, right.

0:44:48 > 0:44:51So he had a family here.

0:44:53 > 0:44:57And my mam, she was his bit on the side up north.

0:45:01 > 0:45:04And I was his bastard son.

0:45:04 > 0:45:06I am so sorry.

0:45:12 > 0:45:17Is that him? No, it can't be, he's too old.

0:45:20 > 0:45:21Do you know what, I think it is him.

0:45:23 > 0:45:25I don't think I can do this.

0:45:25 > 0:45:27Tom. We have come all this way.

0:45:29 > 0:45:32OK, I just want you to keep calm,

0:45:32 > 0:45:36say what you want to say and then we'll leave, right.

0:45:37 > 0:45:39You can do it.

0:45:44 > 0:45:46OK. I can do this. I can do this.

0:45:54 > 0:45:56The rain finally stopped.

0:45:58 > 0:46:02Yeah. That's good. Are you Mohammed Saleem?

0:46:03 > 0:46:05Yeah.

0:46:05 > 0:46:10You don't know me, but I think I'm your son Tom from Bradford.

0:46:12 > 0:46:15Oh, my God! Tom!

0:46:15 > 0:46:17Don't.

0:46:17 > 0:46:19This is my partner, Natalie.

0:46:21 > 0:46:23I'm so happy to see you.

0:46:24 > 0:46:28I hope you don't mind, but I needed to track you down.

0:46:28 > 0:46:32We're trying for a baby and they keep asking us questions.

0:46:32 > 0:46:37You've grown into such a healthy young man and so handsome.

0:46:37 > 0:46:40Yeah, that's what happens to kids, they grow.

0:46:42 > 0:46:45Well, I need to know if you've got anything wrong with you,

0:46:45 > 0:46:47any illnesses that I should know about?

0:46:49 > 0:46:51I've missed you.

0:46:52 > 0:46:56Right, well, you should've thought about that before you left.

0:46:56 > 0:46:58I thought about nothing else.

0:46:58 > 0:47:01It was the hardest day of my life.

0:47:03 > 0:47:05Yeah, it was pretty tough for us, as well.

0:47:11 > 0:47:17Well, I've been to your house, met your daughter.

0:47:17 > 0:47:18Farida?

0:47:18 > 0:47:21And I gather you've got two sons.

0:47:21 > 0:47:23Yeah, that's right.

0:47:25 > 0:47:28But none of them know anything about me, right?

0:47:28 > 0:47:31I'm sorry. I couldn't.

0:47:31 > 0:47:34No, it's all right, it's no big deal.

0:47:38 > 0:47:42I didn't say anything to them, so you don't need to worry.

0:47:44 > 0:47:47Tell you the truth, I was a bit shocked.

0:47:47 > 0:47:50I thought if I did have any half brothers and sisters

0:47:50 > 0:47:52they'd be a lot younger than me.

0:47:54 > 0:47:59You mean...your mother never told you? All these years?

0:47:59 > 0:48:01That I had a family?

0:48:02 > 0:48:05Are you saying she knew?

0:48:05 > 0:48:07Of course.

0:48:09 > 0:48:12My daughter was eight and my sons were five and six

0:48:12 > 0:48:14when I lost my job.

0:48:14 > 0:48:19My brother offered me work in his carpet shop in Bradford.

0:48:19 > 0:48:22I thought, if things work out I will send for my family.

0:48:25 > 0:48:31But I met your mother and she was very beautiful.

0:48:31 > 0:48:34I couldn't help myself.

0:48:35 > 0:48:39So you never sent for them. Great.

0:48:39 > 0:48:41Here you are.

0:48:41 > 0:48:47Oh...erm...this is my wife Naaz.

0:48:47 > 0:48:49Hello.

0:48:50 > 0:48:51Pleased to meet you.

0:48:52 > 0:49:00And this is...erm...this is er...

0:49:00 > 0:49:03Tom and Natalie, were friends from up north.

0:49:05 > 0:49:07HE SPEAKS IN URDU

0:49:11 > 0:49:13Thank you.

0:49:13 > 0:49:15My pleasure.

0:49:18 > 0:49:23That's my son and our grandson Mohsan.

0:49:25 > 0:49:26He's lovely.

0:49:27 > 0:49:30You'll have children of your own soon.

0:49:31 > 0:49:33I hope so, yes.

0:49:33 > 0:49:36Right, we better get off.

0:49:36 > 0:49:39- Tom.- But I haven't explained.

0:49:39 > 0:49:44I didn't come down here for you to explain, I came here to...

0:49:46 > 0:49:48Why don't you go somewhere to talk?

0:49:48 > 0:49:51- We can do that. - No, forget it. It's not important.

0:49:51 > 0:49:54But it's important that you understand.

0:49:56 > 0:50:00Understand how you leave your ten-year-old son and his mother

0:50:00 > 0:50:03when they worshipped the ground you walked on.

0:50:03 > 0:50:05Well, go on then, tell me.

0:50:05 > 0:50:11I know, it was terrible what I did to you and your mother,

0:50:11 > 0:50:13but I was juggling two lives.

0:50:15 > 0:50:18I didn't want to hurt either of you.

0:50:19 > 0:50:23My heart was torn, I loved you both,

0:50:23 > 0:50:28but I loved my family and I missed them and my culture so much.

0:50:31 > 0:50:34So they won? Great.

0:50:36 > 0:50:40Right, well we'll get off, we've got a long drive back.

0:50:40 > 0:50:42Nice to see you though and meet your family.

0:50:42 > 0:50:44- Tom.- Come on.

0:50:45 > 0:50:47- Tom.- Come on.- Please.

0:50:49 > 0:50:51I'm so sorry.

0:51:10 > 0:51:14What I wanted to say was I thought it was my fault you left.

0:51:18 > 0:51:20I thought it was cos I made a fuss

0:51:20 > 0:51:22when I didn't get a BMX for my birthday.

0:51:27 > 0:51:30I wanted to tell him that I ended up in a children's psychiatric unit

0:51:30 > 0:51:34and two weeks later, me mam decided to try and top herself.

0:51:38 > 0:51:40I wanted to tell him...

0:51:42 > 0:51:46..you ruined me mam's life and you broke my heart.

0:51:51 > 0:51:54But I couldn't say it, Natalie.

0:51:57 > 0:52:00I couldn't bring myself to say those words.

0:52:02 > 0:52:05Because you're not like that, Tom.

0:52:15 > 0:52:17I don't know what I was expecting.

0:52:19 > 0:52:21I've been trying to find him that long.

0:52:23 > 0:52:26You built it up in your mind so much, love.

0:52:26 > 0:52:30I mean, he was never really going to live up to your expectations,

0:52:30 > 0:52:31was he?

0:52:33 > 0:52:36It was weird, it was like I never knew him.

0:52:36 > 0:52:38He was like a stranger to me.

0:52:46 > 0:52:50He was just this sad little man. I thought he was tall.

0:52:53 > 0:52:57Yeah, well, don't forget, you were only ten. You looked up to him.

0:52:58 > 0:53:00Yeah, I did that all right.

0:53:07 > 0:53:11Well, he's got four kids, so no problem in that department.

0:53:11 > 0:53:14Are you going to say anything to your mam?

0:53:14 > 0:53:15Nah, no point.

0:53:15 > 0:53:18Look at you with your Bentley and your flash suit.

0:53:18 > 0:53:21Yeah, you're too good for us now, mate.

0:53:27 > 0:53:33People's car is the literal translation of which brand?

0:53:33 > 0:53:35We should just crack on with our own family.

0:53:35 > 0:53:38- Yeah, you're right. - What you having, Tom, your usual?

0:53:38 > 0:53:41- Yeah.- And a lime and soda. - I'm just going to ask...

0:53:41 > 0:53:43Can I get anyone anythin'?

0:53:43 > 0:53:47A Bentley, Rolex, holiday in the Caribbean.

0:53:47 > 0:53:50No, it's all right, Steve's already got one in, mate.

0:53:50 > 0:53:52Right.

0:53:54 > 0:53:58Marcus is being a bit of a git. So when's our first appointment?

0:53:58 > 0:54:01What is the most commonly broken bone in the body?

0:54:01 > 0:54:03I made it Thursday, but...

0:54:03 > 0:54:06Hang on, I've just got to tell 'em this.

0:54:06 > 0:54:08Answer's the clavicle.

0:54:08 > 0:54:10We know! We're not thick!

0:54:10 > 0:54:12All right. Chill, man!

0:54:12 > 0:54:14You might have forgotten.

0:54:14 > 0:54:16Before you were rich, I climbed up your drainpipe

0:54:16 > 0:54:18- to sort your aerial out. - I haven't forgotten.

0:54:18 > 0:54:20And I fell off and bust me collar bone.

0:54:20 > 0:54:22Well, the nurse in A&E told me. Clavicle!

0:54:24 > 0:54:26What's up with you? What have I done wrong?

0:54:26 > 0:54:28- What's the matter? - I don't know. Ask them.

0:54:28 > 0:54:32Do you mind? I'm tryin' to do the quiz here.

0:54:32 > 0:54:34Come on! Have I said something?

0:54:37 > 0:54:38Is it the car?

0:54:40 > 0:54:41Do you want a Bentley?

0:54:41 > 0:54:44I'll buy you a Bentley, I'll buy you both one.

0:54:44 > 0:54:46Oi! We don't want any trouble.

0:54:47 > 0:54:49It's just a friggin car!

0:54:50 > 0:54:54Do you know something, I've just found out I've got two brothers

0:54:54 > 0:54:56and a sister, but I don't give a shit about them,

0:54:56 > 0:54:58because you lot are my family.

0:54:58 > 0:55:00- Let's go, Tom.- I don't want to go.

0:55:02 > 0:55:04Everybody has the same chance.

0:55:04 > 0:55:07You can go buy a £2 lottery ticket and win.

0:55:07 > 0:55:10And you know what, I'd be happy for you if you did.

0:55:10 > 0:55:12Yeah, you think you would,

0:55:12 > 0:55:15but if you had 18 grand of debt hanging round your neck,

0:55:15 > 0:55:17your landlord trying to evict you

0:55:17 > 0:55:19and your mate saying he's going to buy your house,

0:55:19 > 0:55:21it'd soon wipe the smile of your face.

0:55:21 > 0:55:22I'll pay off your debt.

0:55:22 > 0:55:25No, thanks. I'll sort meself out.

0:55:25 > 0:55:26Please, Tom.

0:55:26 > 0:55:30I don't understand it! What can I do to make this right?

0:55:30 > 0:55:32Nowt.

0:55:32 > 0:55:35Right, you've had your say, can we crack on now, please?

0:55:35 > 0:55:37It's just...

0:55:37 > 0:55:42What? For Christ's sake, tell me!

0:55:42 > 0:55:44Well, we don't feel like...

0:55:45 > 0:55:47..like you're one of us any more, Tom.

0:55:53 > 0:55:54Sorry, mate.

0:55:57 > 0:55:58You bastards.

0:55:58 > 0:56:00Come on, that's enough!

0:56:00 > 0:56:01I don't believe this.

0:56:10 > 0:56:12I don't want to live here any more.

0:56:12 > 0:56:14I don't want to see any of them ever again.

0:56:17 > 0:56:20If somebody had said this would happen to me mates,

0:56:20 > 0:56:22I would never have believed 'em. Never!

0:56:22 > 0:56:24They're not your mates, love.

0:56:24 > 0:56:27If they were, they wouldn't be like that with you.

0:56:27 > 0:56:28I can't get my head round it.

0:56:31 > 0:56:33Why would they be like that?

0:56:34 > 0:56:38I tell you what, it's been a shit day.

0:56:42 > 0:56:45Maybe we should start looking at some houses.

0:56:47 > 0:56:51Yeah, we'll need something bigger if you get pregnant, anyway.

0:56:51 > 0:56:53So we start again on Thursday, do we?

0:56:55 > 0:56:56I'm not sure.

0:56:59 > 0:57:03Oh, Natalie, don't say something else. Please!

0:57:09 > 0:57:13I wasn't going to tell you this cos I don't want to raise your hopes.

0:57:15 > 0:57:17Right.

0:57:17 > 0:57:24But it said in that leaflet that we shouldn't start treatment

0:57:24 > 0:57:29if there was any chance I could be pregnant.

0:57:31 > 0:57:33And I'm six days late.

0:57:38 > 0:57:40That's fantastic!

0:57:42 > 0:57:47That's the best news ever. I bloody love you.

0:57:47 > 0:57:49THEY SQUEAL EXCITEDLY

0:57:52 > 0:57:55Oh, careful, are you all right?

0:57:57 > 0:57:59That's amazing.

0:57:59 > 0:58:01Come here.

0:58:04 > 0:58:06Have you got someone at home to look after you?

0:58:06 > 0:58:09Yeah, I've a house full. Thanks very much.

0:58:09 > 0:58:12- Where do you think you're going? - Home.- Have you cleaned the commodes?

0:58:12 > 0:58:14I've won the lottery, you clean the bloody commodes!

0:58:14 > 0:58:17She said something about me being a high profile case

0:58:17 > 0:58:20cos I was a lottery winner, and they might make an example of me.

0:58:20 > 0:58:22- No!- Oh, buggerin' hell.

0:58:22 > 0:58:24- Janice Weaver, Mam.- Oh, shit!

0:58:24 > 0:58:29- Rose Marie Wilson, you have been found guilty of fraud.- No!
