0:00:05 > 0:00:12This programme contains some strong language and some scenes of a sexual nature.

0:00:50 > 0:00:55Someone said that death might end a life,

0:00:55 > 0:00:59but for the survivor, the relationship struggles on,

0:00:59 > 0:01:02seeking resolution it may never find.

0:01:03 > 0:01:06I suppose we should have guessed that

0:01:06 > 0:01:09the death of one of us would bring us back together,

0:01:09 > 0:01:12but none of us are under any illusion that time heals.

0:01:16 > 0:01:18Ms Pugh?

0:01:18 > 0:01:22Ewan Fleming, Gibson and Parks, Solicitors.

0:01:49 > 0:01:52It was they who raised the alarm. The police broke down the door,

0:01:52 > 0:01:55bit of a make do and mend job, I'm afraid.

0:02:02 > 0:02:05Once the post-mortem confirmed death as natural causes,

0:02:05 > 0:02:08the police got in a company to disinfect the place.

0:02:08 > 0:02:11As executor of the will, you'll need to settle the charge from the estate.

0:02:14 > 0:02:18The chemicals, when they sanitised it.

0:02:21 > 0:02:24Under the terms of the will, you and the other legatees

0:02:24 > 0:02:27can dispose of any personal items as you choose.

0:02:27 > 0:02:28Are they coming today, too?

0:02:28 > 0:02:31Mmm.

0:02:31 > 0:02:35Is it right you all lived together?

0:02:35 > 0:02:37"Former flatmates", it says in the will.

0:02:38 > 0:02:41We lost touch...over the years.

0:02:43 > 0:02:47When probate is complete, the flat will be sold,

0:02:47 > 0:02:49all debts discharged,

0:02:49 > 0:02:53after which, the estate will be divided between you and the others.

0:02:56 > 0:02:59Drop them off at your convenience.

0:03:05 > 0:03:07How long was it, before they found the...

0:03:07 > 0:03:09Two weeks.

0:03:09 > 0:03:11Joy of city life, eh(?)

0:04:13 > 0:04:15I'll get back to you as soon as possible.

0:04:15 > 0:04:18Thanks, bye.

0:04:18 > 0:04:19Next six!

0:04:23 > 0:04:27The old man bought the lease. Cheaper than shelling out on rent,

0:04:27 > 0:04:29which makes me a landlord.

0:04:29 > 0:04:31As a paid-up member of the "all property is theft" club,

0:04:31 > 0:04:33the joke is on me.

0:04:33 > 0:04:35A shared one, three guineas a week,

0:04:35 > 0:04:37needs decorating and shit, like the others.

0:04:37 > 0:04:41The other single, fiver a week. And the double is across the hall.

0:04:50 > 0:04:52Which one are you again?

0:04:52 > 0:04:54Charlotte Pugh.

0:04:55 > 0:04:57So, Charlotte Pugh...

0:04:58 > 0:05:01..do you like what you see?

0:05:01 > 0:05:03I like.

0:05:10 > 0:05:12I'm not about to lay a load of crap

0:05:12 > 0:05:15about cleaning rotas on you,

0:05:15 > 0:05:19just set out a kind of modus operandi about living here.

0:05:23 > 0:05:25We have a chance to challenge the status quo,

0:05:25 > 0:05:29prove there's an alternative socio-economic model to live by

0:05:29 > 0:05:30other than the nuclear bloody family,

0:05:30 > 0:05:37- by sharing our labour, our energy, our resources.- Like a commune?

0:05:37 > 0:05:38Works for them in China.

0:05:40 > 0:05:43Didn't they abolish landlords in China? Execute them?

0:05:47 > 0:05:49- Your name?- Harper. Alan. Alan.

0:05:49 > 0:05:51That's OK, thanks.

0:05:52 > 0:05:56OK, see what I'm trying to say, Alan, is,

0:05:56 > 0:05:58what's the point in social mobility

0:05:58 > 0:06:02if we just carry the same tired old values around with us, you know?

0:06:02 > 0:06:08So what we do is we construct a model of living based on equality,

0:06:08 > 0:06:10based on the welfare of the group,

0:06:10 > 0:06:13rather than the selfish needs of the individual.

0:06:13 > 0:06:17Up to, and including, sex.

0:06:24 > 0:06:27Aren't all relationships just another form of ownership?

0:06:27 > 0:06:28What is he on about?

0:06:28 > 0:06:32Eliminate the exclusivity of couples, you eliminate jealousy

0:06:32 > 0:06:37and all the corrosive shit which goes with it, so we make a rule.

0:06:37 > 0:06:40No sleeping with the same person, flatmates included,

0:06:40 > 0:06:43on more than three consecutive nights.

0:06:43 > 0:06:45What sort of godless set up are you running here?

0:06:45 > 0:06:48I want no part of it, frankly.

0:06:52 > 0:06:55Better out than in, as they say. Let's take a vote.

0:06:55 > 0:07:00All those in favour of the godless set up, as outlined?

0:07:05 > 0:07:07OK.

0:07:07 > 0:07:08Great.

0:07:10 > 0:07:13Message received.

0:07:13 > 0:07:14Over and out.

0:07:24 > 0:07:26I'll let you know. Send up the next lot, will you?

0:07:33 > 0:07:38'Since his stroke, the silent vigil for Churchill's recovery continues

0:07:38 > 0:07:40'as the whole country prays for him

0:07:40 > 0:07:42'in this, his darkest hour.

0:07:43 > 0:07:47'His defiant vow, "We shall never surrender"

0:07:47 > 0:07:49'has never been more apt.'

0:07:49 > 0:07:51Amen to that, eh?

0:07:55 > 0:07:58The girl who owns the flat you saw,

0:07:58 > 0:08:00is she at your college, too?

0:08:01 > 0:08:03What does it matter?

0:08:03 > 0:08:05If I was one of the chosen few I'd have heard by now.

0:08:07 > 0:08:12Susan Reynolds from Girl Guides. She has a flat in Marble Arch.

0:08:12 > 0:08:14Her mother says she's looking for someone to share with.

0:08:14 > 0:08:15She's an air hostess now.

0:08:15 > 0:08:18She'll be away half the time. You'd have the place to yourself.

0:08:18 > 0:08:20Where's the fun in that, eh?

0:08:20 > 0:08:23The point is to be near college for her studies, isn't it?

0:08:23 > 0:08:26- Doesn't preclude her having a bit of fun, does it?- I didn't say it did.

0:08:29 > 0:08:31Leave space for the crumble.

0:08:32 > 0:08:35Mum's OK about this, isn't she?

0:08:35 > 0:08:37If I do move out?

0:08:37 > 0:08:38Nothing stays the same.

0:08:38 > 0:08:41She has to face that, like the rest of us.

0:08:41 > 0:08:44We only have one life, after all.

0:08:44 > 0:08:46HER PARENTS ARGUE

0:10:45 > 0:10:48I've just clocked why he's chosen us.

0:10:48 > 0:10:52Jack, why he's chosen us, in particular.

0:10:54 > 0:10:56We're his guinea pigs!

0:10:56 > 0:10:59- His what?- Exactly.

0:10:59 > 0:11:01His socio-economic mix.

0:11:03 > 0:11:06Think about it,

0:11:06 > 0:11:09he's got the class thing covered, hasn't he?

0:11:09 > 0:11:12Race, you know, and you.

0:11:12 > 0:11:15He's got the professions covered -

0:11:15 > 0:11:17computing, medicine, English, law,

0:11:17 > 0:11:20art and...

0:11:20 > 0:11:21Psychology.

0:11:21 > 0:11:25Yeah, and that. So he's hand-picked every one of us,

0:11:25 > 0:11:29to conduct his social experiment.

0:11:31 > 0:11:35Well, I'm not sure anybody is quite that cynical.

0:11:35 > 0:11:36Do you want to bet?

0:11:40 > 0:11:43ALL: Cheers.

0:12:52 > 0:12:55Hold it in, don't exhale.

0:12:57 > 0:13:01It's crap what they say, how it's an escape from reality.

0:13:03 > 0:13:07You know when you get the feeling life is utterly bloody futile?

0:13:09 > 0:13:11You light up, it lifts you up.

0:13:13 > 0:13:14Instead of looking into the abyss,

0:13:14 > 0:13:18you're standing on the edge of the world.

0:13:18 > 0:13:19You're invincible.

0:13:22 > 0:13:25Feel anything yet?

0:13:33 > 0:13:34How about this?

0:13:38 > 0:13:41Is that part of your social experiment, too?

0:13:43 > 0:13:46It's about being in the moment.

0:13:46 > 0:13:48Seeing where it takes you.

0:14:01 > 0:14:03It's quite a drop. Be careful.

0:14:03 > 0:14:05Oh, I will be.

0:14:57 > 0:15:00Anyone else here yet?

0:15:00 > 0:15:02Uh, no.

0:15:02 > 0:15:04I'm going to make a start in the kitchen,

0:15:04 > 0:15:07so maybe you could do one of the bedrooms, upstairs?

0:15:07 > 0:15:09Is that where it happened?

0:15:11 > 0:15:12Mmm.

0:15:15 > 0:15:18Charlie?

0:15:18 > 0:15:23There's not been a day when I haven't regretted what I did to you.

0:15:23 > 0:15:25Not a day.

0:17:19 > 0:17:23Bloody hell! Wish we'd never started the damn thing!

0:17:23 > 0:17:25It's supposed to be smooth like a mirror,

0:17:25 > 0:17:27give an illusion of bloody space.

0:17:33 > 0:17:36Right, I'll see you later! Good luck with it!

0:17:36 > 0:17:38- Bye, love.- Bye.

0:17:43 > 0:17:46Where do you reckon it is she goes every evening?

0:17:46 > 0:17:49Library, she says. Maybe it's confession.

0:17:49 > 0:17:52Do you know what her mother told her?

0:17:52 > 0:17:54That periods are called the curse,

0:17:54 > 0:17:57because it's God's curse on us for Eve eating the apple.

0:17:59 > 0:18:01So much for your benign deity.

0:18:01 > 0:18:04You been seeing anyone since coming to London?

0:18:05 > 0:18:06You?

0:18:10 > 0:18:12How about back home?

0:18:12 > 0:18:15Only a few local lads, from school and that, you know.

0:18:15 > 0:18:17No-one special.

0:18:17 > 0:18:19So you didn't...

0:18:19 > 0:18:20Do it with any of them?

0:18:22 > 0:18:23HE SNICKERS

0:18:23 > 0:18:25Go the whole way?

0:18:29 > 0:18:32The first time was my 16th birthday present to myself.

0:18:32 > 0:18:36I couldn't wait to get it out the way, see what the fuss was about.

0:18:36 > 0:18:38You?

0:18:41 > 0:18:44A girl in my class at the high school.

0:18:44 > 0:18:47In the middle of her O-levels, she suddenly drops out of school,

0:18:47 > 0:18:49drops out of sight.

0:18:49 > 0:18:52I had this Saturday job at the local supermarket, on the till.

0:18:52 > 0:18:55There was always this endless queue of women with their kids,

0:18:55 > 0:18:59stretching back as far as the eye could see.

0:18:59 > 0:19:01They all looked so...

0:19:03 > 0:19:05..tired.

0:19:07 > 0:19:10One day, I looked up, she was one of them.

0:19:12 > 0:19:13Pushing a pram.

0:19:16 > 0:19:19There but for the grace of a benign deity...

0:19:19 > 0:19:22Still, all good things are worth waiting for, eh?

0:19:22 > 0:19:27Then again, maybe I'll die chaste and virginal, like Orla.

0:19:28 > 0:19:30It may not be worth the wait, love.

0:19:30 > 0:19:33Trust me, it's just not the big deal everyone says it is.

0:19:40 > 0:19:42Rent time, girls.

0:19:42 > 0:19:45Oh, hold on, I left my bag downstairs.

0:19:45 > 0:19:46Cheers.

0:19:50 > 0:19:52Thank you.

0:19:53 > 0:19:57Thing about your benign deity...

0:19:57 > 0:19:59It works in mysterious ways.

0:20:00 > 0:20:02Thanks.

0:20:17 > 0:20:20Derivative, vacuous, pointless.

0:20:20 > 0:20:23You want to paint by numbers, go do it in someone else's class,

0:20:23 > 0:20:25better yet, go work it out in a gym.

0:20:25 > 0:20:28Is that what you call "constructive criticism"?

0:20:30 > 0:20:32If it's any comfort, I'd not put myself out

0:20:32 > 0:20:35unless I thought you had something going for you, would I?

0:20:43 > 0:20:46Please, God, say you're not falling for that crap.

0:20:46 > 0:20:49This is the one place a woman can take her clothes off

0:20:49 > 0:20:50and become invisible.

0:20:52 > 0:20:55Sitting there all day, you see things, hear things.

0:20:58 > 0:21:01You won't be the first notch on his belt, dear...

0:21:32 > 0:21:34Here she is!

0:21:34 > 0:21:36Mum, Dad.

0:21:36 > 0:21:39We came down to pay our respects to Mr Churchill.

0:21:39 > 0:21:42Near on 300 people there were. Some had stood there all night.

0:21:42 > 0:21:44That's unusual.

0:21:44 > 0:21:48He'll pull through yet. He's nowt if he's not a fighter.

0:21:48 > 0:21:52This is Victor, he's on a law scholarship from Jamaica.

0:21:52 > 0:21:53Sorry.

0:21:57 > 0:21:58Excuse me.

0:22:01 > 0:22:05- You never said you were sharing with a...- With lads.

0:22:06 > 0:22:08We need to talk, love. Is there somewhere we can...

0:22:08 > 0:22:13No, no, look, I've got things I need to do upstairs.

0:22:13 > 0:22:16So I'll... It was very nice meeting you both.

0:22:23 > 0:22:27Don't jump down our throats. Just hear us out.

0:22:27 > 0:22:31It's your Aunt Helen. She's, erm, she's broke her hip.

0:22:32 > 0:22:36She needs somebody to help her out in the shop.

0:22:36 > 0:22:41And she says if you, if you come back, she'll train you up

0:22:41 > 0:22:46and when the time comes, she'll sign the lease over to you.

0:22:47 > 0:22:52It's the only drapery in Heaton - guaranteed custom, regular clients.

0:22:54 > 0:22:57Set you up for life, a place like that.

0:23:01 > 0:23:04If I did that secretarial course

0:23:04 > 0:23:08you said I could go to art college, that were the deal.

0:23:08 > 0:23:11You can still do your art and such on Sundays, can't you?

0:23:11 > 0:23:14There's no future in it, love.

0:23:14 > 0:23:18It's never going to put food on the table, is it?

0:23:18 > 0:23:20It's not for the likes of us.

0:23:22 > 0:23:26When the novelty of it wears off, and it will, you'll wake up,

0:23:26 > 0:23:31see the world as it is, not as you wish it to be.

0:23:31 > 0:23:33It may be too late. You'll have burnt your boats.

0:23:33 > 0:23:36Bridges.

0:23:36 > 0:23:38It's burning bridges.

0:23:40 > 0:23:42And they're mine to burn.

0:24:05 > 0:24:10When I was at school, my mam and dad used to go on at us,

0:24:14 > 0:24:17"Work hard, get your exams, get ahead."

0:24:17 > 0:24:22It was all fine while I was doing my degree up in Newcastle,

0:24:22 > 0:24:26but when I moved down here for me post grad,

0:24:26 > 0:24:28it was a whole different tune.

0:24:30 > 0:24:34"Newcastle wasn't good enough for me anymore.

0:24:35 > 0:24:39"Now that I lived down here, I was above them all."

0:24:40 > 0:24:43They thought I was leaving them all behind.

0:24:46 > 0:24:47They were right.
