0:01:36 > 0:01:37- # Do what I do - # Have fun, go mad

0:01:37 > 0:01:39# Have fun... #

0:01:39 > 0:01:41Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit.

0:01:41 > 0:01:43Shit, shit. Shit, shit.

0:01:43 > 0:01:45Oh, shit!

0:01:45 > 0:01:48"Hello, Helen, I'd almost forgotten you work here."

0:01:50 > 0:01:53Sorry, but I swear I was up all night

0:01:53 > 0:01:55toying with ideas for the fashion show

0:01:55 > 0:01:58and I've really hit on something. You see...

0:02:00 > 0:02:02What?

0:02:06 > 0:02:10I took four bottles of vodka on Friday for my birthday.

0:02:10 > 0:02:12I was having a party, so I borrowed some.

0:02:12 > 0:02:18I bought some more to replace it.

0:02:14 > 0:02:18No use to me when I had nothing to offer the executives.

0:02:19 > 0:02:23Could have told them you'd run out. It's popular stuff.

0:02:23 > 0:02:27Bullshit, bullshit. We're in PR. That's what we do, isn't it?

0:02:29 > 0:02:32But you didn't do that, did you, Paul?

0:02:32 > 0:02:34No.

0:02:34 > 0:02:37So, I'm out, am I?

0:02:41 > 0:02:44Well, this is just perfect.

0:02:44 > 0:02:50You've wanted me out for ages, now you've done it. Very well done.

0:02:51 > 0:02:55For theft. Pretty foolproof.

0:02:55 > 0:02:58OK, I'll go. I'll go!

0:02:58 > 0:03:04With all this testosterone, best I go before I start growing a penis.

0:03:04 > 0:03:06Oh!

0:03:06 > 0:03:08Told you - lesbian.

0:03:22 > 0:03:26I really didn't think it'd be so easy to crack, did you?

0:03:26 > 0:03:28Oops.

0:03:30 > 0:03:32Thank you.

0:05:34 > 0:05:36MAN HUMS

0:05:38 > 0:05:40'District Line information.

0:05:40 > 0:05:45'Due to a derailment, trains will be extensively delayed.'

0:05:45 > 0:05:47'Please find other means of transport.'

0:05:47 > 0:05:49CAR HORN BLARES

0:06:08 > 0:06:10Aaaargh!

0:06:17 > 0:06:21Are you all right, love? Oh, it's a bit of a nasty cut.

0:06:21 > 0:06:23Might need stitches. Come on.

0:06:23 > 0:06:26# She's dragged me to her floor

0:06:26 > 0:06:29# Just like she had before

0:06:29 > 0:06:33# And I can't take it no more... #

0:06:33 > 0:06:35Oh-ho. Ah, Beatles' lyrics, eh?

0:06:35 > 0:06:39Elastic Thrombosis. They're guilty of lyric poaching.

0:06:39 > 0:06:43They're Beatles' lyrics, aren't they?

0:06:41 > 0:06:43I don't know. Sorry.

0:06:43 > 0:06:47Everyone is born knowing Beatles' lyrics instinctively.

0:06:47 > 0:06:50They're passed into the foetus subconsciously.

0:06:50 > 0:06:53In fact, they should be called The Foetles.

0:06:55 > 0:06:57Not a fan, clearly.

0:07:18 > 0:07:21It's funny the way nobody talks on tubes.

0:07:21 > 0:07:24I rarely catch the tube myself, or lifts.

0:07:24 > 0:07:28Confined spaces, everybody shuts down. Why?

0:07:28 > 0:07:32Perhaps we think everyone else on the tube is a psychopath,

0:07:32 > 0:07:35so we close down and pretend to read.

0:07:35 > 0:07:40You've got a tea stain...

0:07:36 > 0:07:40I don't think you're a psychopath, I just want to read.

0:07:40 > 0:07:42I understand. I apologise.

0:07:42 > 0:07:46I'm in a little bit of a good mood today, so I've just...

0:07:46 > 0:07:48Sorry.

0:07:48 > 0:07:53Have we met before? No, no, honestly. You...you seem familiar.

0:07:53 > 0:07:56I don't think so.

0:07:56 > 0:08:00Yes. You were in the lift. You dropped your earring,

0:08:00 > 0:08:03I picked it up.

0:08:01 > 0:08:03Oh, yes, you did. Thank you.

0:08:03 > 0:08:07Pleasure. Do you work there?

0:08:07 > 0:08:10I did, but I've just been fired. OK?

0:08:10 > 0:08:14Oh, no, that's, that's horrible. I'm sorry.

0:08:14 > 0:08:17It's OK. I thank you for your concern,

0:08:17 > 0:08:22I'm glad you're in a good mood, I thank you for picking up my earring,

0:08:22 > 0:08:24but I just want to read my book.

0:08:36 > 0:08:38I get off at this stop.

0:08:38 > 0:08:41I'm only telling you in case you get off at this stop, too,

0:08:41 > 0:08:44and you think I'm following you.

0:08:44 > 0:08:46I mean... You know.

0:08:46 > 0:08:51I really didn't mean any offence. Please forgive me.

0:08:51 > 0:08:53I'm really not a nutcase. I apologise.

0:08:59 > 0:09:01Excuse me.

0:09:02 > 0:09:06Um, I'm sorry. I'm sure you're not a psycho or anything,

0:09:06 > 0:09:10it's just that I'm not... I'm not that good at, um...

0:09:10 > 0:09:14you know, um...

0:09:12 > 0:09:14Constructing sentences?

0:09:14 > 0:09:16SHE SIGHS Anyway...

0:09:16 > 0:09:18I'm James.

0:09:18 > 0:09:19Helen.

0:09:19 > 0:09:22MUSIC: "Bennie And The Jets" by Elton John

0:09:27 > 0:09:30I never figured out why we didn't make it.

0:09:30 > 0:09:34You went back to America. I couldn't afford the bus fares.

0:09:32 > 0:09:34I came back though.

0:09:35 > 0:09:38Turn my back for three lousy years

0:09:38 > 0:09:41and you callously ditch me for another woman.

0:09:41 > 0:09:45Mm, I know, I suppose I'm just naturally impetuous.

0:09:45 > 0:09:48I live with someone. A man. I live with a man.

0:09:48 > 0:09:53I have people I consider soul mates who don't confide in me this much.

0:09:53 > 0:09:57What would he say if he knew you were with a complete stranger?

0:09:57 > 0:09:59Hm, big deal.

0:10:05 > 0:10:08It was nice to meet you. Sorry about your job.

0:10:08 > 0:10:10Being a Gemini can have its down sides.

0:10:10 > 0:10:13Remember what Monty Python say.

0:10:13 > 0:10:16What? "Always look on the bright side of life?"

0:10:16 > 0:10:20No. "Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition".

0:10:26 > 0:10:29MUSIC: "Bennie And The Jets" by Elton John

0:10:52 > 0:10:54GERRY GROANS >

0:10:54 > 0:10:58Oh! Oh, yeah! Yes! >

0:11:01 > 0:11:05- HE GRUNTS - Yeah! Yeah!

0:11:05 > 0:11:07Oh! Oh! Oh!

0:11:07 > 0:11:10Oh, fu-u-u-u-u-u-u-uck!!

0:11:10 > 0:11:12Yeah!

0:11:12 > 0:11:14- SHE PANTS - What?

0:11:21 > 0:11:23SHE SIGHS

0:11:25 > 0:11:28I didn't think you liked Elton John.

0:11:28 > 0:11:31I...I do, I do sometimes.

0:11:38 > 0:11:40MUSIC OFF

0:11:40 > 0:11:43You really shouldn't stop like that.

0:11:43 > 0:11:47Set a woman back three days doing a thing like that.

0:11:49 > 0:11:51Who is she?

0:11:52 > 0:11:54She's Lydia.

0:12:06 > 0:12:08Well, I've had a dreadful day.

0:12:08 > 0:12:12I got sacked. And so did you, it would seem.

0:12:14 > 0:12:17Cup of tea?

0:12:15 > 0:12:17That'd be nice.

0:12:17 > 0:12:21You bastard! You bastard!

0:12:21 > 0:12:23You useless shagging bastard!

0:12:31 > 0:12:36I come home and catch you up to your nuts in Lady Shagging Godiva!

0:12:36 > 0:12:40I am working all hours to support you while you are

0:12:40 > 0:12:43supposedly writing your first novel.

0:12:44 > 0:12:47How long? Huh?

0:12:48 > 0:12:52Do you love her? No, don't tell me, I'm not interested.

0:12:52 > 0:12:54No, do tell me, I AM interested.

0:12:55 > 0:13:00I'm only asking because I need to know exactly how big a mug I am.

0:13:00 > 0:13:04Look, er... Look...

0:13:10 > 0:13:12DOOR SLAMS

0:14:02 > 0:14:04MUSIC: "Honky Cat" by Elton John

0:14:07 > 0:14:08Hello?!

0:14:09 > 0:14:11Helen?! Is that you?!

0:14:11 > 0:14:14No, it's your bit of stuff.

0:14:14 > 0:14:17Wednesday, shag day, remember?

0:14:25 > 0:14:29Have you just got up, you lazy git?

0:14:26 > 0:14:29Er, no. Er, well, I...

0:14:29 > 0:14:32I didn't sleep that well last night and er, er...

0:14:32 > 0:14:36when you left, I kind of, I went into a really...

0:14:36 > 0:14:40a really, really deep, deep, deep, deep sleep and...

0:14:40 > 0:14:42I think I might be coming down with...

0:14:42 > 0:14:46Anyway, er, what are you doing home at this time of...?

0:14:48 > 0:14:51Oh, my God! What happened to you?

0:14:53 > 0:14:56It depends. Which story do you want first?

0:14:56 > 0:15:00What?

0:14:57 > 0:15:00Well, I got mugged and...

0:15:03 > 0:15:05What are you doing?

0:15:05 > 0:15:07I can't stand Elton John.

0:15:07 > 0:15:09You know that.

0:15:09 > 0:15:13Well, anyway, listen, tell me what happened?

0:15:13 > 0:15:15What happened to your head?

0:15:15 > 0:15:17Well, I got mugged and sacked.

0:15:17 > 0:15:21It wasn't an actual mugging, only an attempted mugging

0:15:21 > 0:15:25according to the police...

0:15:23 > 0:15:25- Whoa, whoa! - ..because they didn't...

0:15:25 > 0:15:28Wait a sec. Come here. Now sit down.

0:15:28 > 0:15:30Just sit here, OK?

0:15:30 > 0:15:33Now, you're in shock, darling, OK?

0:15:33 > 0:15:36You've had a little bit of a shock. OK?

0:15:36 > 0:15:38Now just relax. Er, er...

0:15:40 > 0:15:42Do you want a brandy?

0:15:42 > 0:15:45It's four in the afternoon.

0:15:45 > 0:15:47Of course it is. Sorry.

0:15:47 > 0:15:50Gerry!

0:15:50 > 0:15:53Are you OK?

0:15:51 > 0:15:53Me? I'm fine. Um, I'm fine.

0:15:53 > 0:15:55Anyway, anyway...

0:15:55 > 0:15:57Tell, tell me what happened.

0:16:23 > 0:16:27I couldn't help thinking if I had just caught that train,

0:16:27 > 0:16:32it would never have happened. I'd have been home ages ago.

0:16:30 > 0:16:32You don't want to go wondering

0:16:32 > 0:16:37about things like that. "If only this" and "what if that."

0:16:37 > 0:16:38I mean...

0:16:40 > 0:16:43It's done now.

0:16:43 > 0:16:45Come on.

0:16:45 > 0:16:47Follow.

0:16:48 > 0:16:51Splash. I'm going to take you out

0:16:51 > 0:16:55and get you alarmingly out of your head on Grolsch and then...

0:16:55 > 0:16:57Dry. Thank you.

0:16:57 > 0:17:01And then... follow, follow, follow, follow.

0:17:01 > 0:17:05And when you've sung all your favourite Barbara Streisand songs

0:17:05 > 0:17:07and got us slung out of the pub...

0:17:07 > 0:17:09Yep, put this on.

0:17:09 > 0:17:13I'm going to let you have intimate knowledge of a lamb passanda

0:17:13 > 0:17:15with a double tarka dahl,

0:17:15 > 0:17:19which you can then puke up all over the pristine doorstep

0:17:19 > 0:17:23of Herr and Frau Goebbels next door, and I'll help you.

0:17:23 > 0:17:25Oh. I love you, Gerry.

0:17:25 > 0:17:28She's not here!

0:17:28 > 0:17:33Anna, you're Helen's best friend. Where else would she be?

0:17:30 > 0:17:33Come in and search the place.

0:17:33 > 0:17:35She's not here. What have you done?

0:17:35 > 0:17:40It can't be that nice if she's walked out on you.

0:17:38 > 0:17:40Look, I'm sorry. If she comes here,

0:17:40 > 0:17:43just let me know or get her to ring me

0:17:43 > 0:17:47or something. That's all I ask.

0:17:45 > 0:17:47Like you say, I'm Helen's best friend.

0:17:47 > 0:17:50If she comes here, I'll do what SHE asks.

0:17:53 > 0:17:56MUSIC: "Amateur" by Aimee Mann

0:17:56 > 0:17:59# I'll have this meagre defence

0:17:59 > 0:18:01# I was hoping

0:18:01 > 0:18:06# But you're an amateur

0:18:06 > 0:18:08# I was hoping

0:18:08 > 0:18:12# That you'd know better

0:18:12 > 0:18:15# But I've been wrong... #

0:18:15 > 0:18:21She's got a point. You can't stand Elton John.

0:18:17 > 0:18:21That's not the issue! What do I do?!

0:18:21 > 0:18:25You told me you couldn't hack it juggling Helen and Lydia

0:18:25 > 0:18:29and you wish you hadn't got involved with her again.

0:18:27 > 0:18:29I know.

0:18:29 > 0:18:34You weren't cut out for infidelity.

0:18:30 > 0:18:34I know.

0:18:32 > 0:18:34But you couldn't end it with Lydia.

0:18:34 > 0:18:37I know all this.

0:18:35 > 0:18:37And I told you something.

0:18:37 > 0:18:41Something ungoverned by you would happen

0:18:41 > 0:18:43to bring the situation to a head.

0:18:43 > 0:18:46I know!

0:18:44 > 0:18:46And...something has.

0:18:52 > 0:18:56It's not funny, actually.

0:18:53 > 0:18:56No, I'm sorry, old man, I beg to differ.

0:18:56 > 0:18:58It is funny. It's very, very funny.

0:19:00 > 0:19:04You're not rushing about frantically trying to find her.

0:19:04 > 0:19:09I went to Anna's. She wasn't there.

0:19:05 > 0:19:09You're a one-man SAS crack unit!

0:19:11 > 0:19:15You want my opinion?

0:19:13 > 0:19:15Will I like it?

0:19:15 > 0:19:18Of course not. It'll be based on reality.

0:19:18 > 0:19:20# Call me fool

0:19:20 > 0:19:23# What's it to you?

0:19:23 > 0:19:25# Then we'll go out walking by the moon... #

0:19:25 > 0:19:29You don't advertise a new restaurant. It's very uncool.

0:19:29 > 0:19:31It's word of mouth. People talk.

0:19:31 > 0:19:35How do these people who talk know where you are

0:19:35 > 0:19:39so that they can talk about you? I just want it to work. Helen.

0:19:40 > 0:19:45Hello! James, rather annoying chatty bloke on the tube?

0:19:45 > 0:19:47Oh, yes, hi.

0:19:47 > 0:19:50You look all stressed up with nowhere to go.

0:19:50 > 0:19:53It's only a job. You'll get another one.

0:19:53 > 0:19:55It's something else, isn't it?

0:19:55 > 0:19:59Sometimes it helps to just say whatever it is out loud.

0:19:59 > 0:20:04It also helps if people mind their own business and leave you alone.

0:20:02 > 0:20:04After I left you earlier,

0:20:04 > 0:20:09I went home and found my boyfriend...

0:20:06 > 0:20:09In bed with another woman. Shit, I'm sorry.

0:20:09 > 0:20:12I mean, what an idiot.

0:20:12 > 0:20:14It's OK, you weren't to know.

0:20:14 > 0:20:17No, not me. Your boyfriend, he's an idiot.

0:20:18 > 0:20:20Sorry, it's not my place.

0:20:20 > 0:20:22It's OK.

0:20:22 > 0:20:26If it makes you feel any better, you see that bloke?

0:20:26 > 0:20:30He owns a personalised set of crocodile skin luggage

0:20:30 > 0:20:33and his favourite TV programme is Baywatch.

0:20:33 > 0:20:36So there's always someone sadder than you.

0:20:36 > 0:20:38Do you love him?

0:20:38 > 0:20:42No. I could never love a Baywatch fan.

0:20:44 > 0:20:49You did a joke in the midst of your emotional state. That's positive.

0:20:49 > 0:20:53You decide you want company, we're over here. OK?

0:20:54 > 0:20:56I'm really sorry, Helen.

0:21:08 > 0:21:12Two of your most disgustingly large Grolsches, please,

0:21:12 > 0:21:14and a large Jack Daniels with ice

0:21:14 > 0:21:16and I'll have the same.

0:21:20 > 0:21:21You're behind.

0:21:25 > 0:21:28Fifteen?

0:21:46 > 0:21:49# I was lost, I was found

0:21:49 > 0:21:52# I'd been tossed to the ground... #

0:21:53 > 0:21:57Gerry came looking for you. Is it what I think?

0:21:57 > 0:22:00Depends. Is what you think that I walked in on him

0:22:00 > 0:22:03shagging Lydia in my bed and I walked out?

0:22:03 > 0:22:05Pretty much.

0:22:05 > 0:22:07Then, yes.

0:22:19 > 0:22:21HELEN CHUCKLES

0:22:21 > 0:22:24MOBILE PHONE RINGS

0:22:22 > 0:22:24Hold up, hold up. Yeah?

0:22:24 > 0:22:26'This morning was sensational.'

0:22:26 > 0:22:29I ca... Sorry, I can't hear you.

0:22:29 > 0:22:32'Gerry.'

0:22:30 > 0:22:32I can't hear you. Didn't know it was on.

0:22:32 > 0:22:34Ready, steady, go!

0:22:42 > 0:22:46Who's that?

0:22:44 > 0:22:46My friend.

0:22:49 > 0:22:52Come on, let's get you home, you drunken eejit.

0:22:52 > 0:22:54OK, whoa!

0:22:55 > 0:22:57- And again. - Whooooooo!

0:22:57 > 0:23:00Can I give you a lift anywhere?

0:23:00 > 0:23:03Er, yeah, that would be great, thank you.

0:23:03 > 0:23:05Hands up if you drank too much, eh?

0:23:05 > 0:23:09Hey! I'm not as drunk as thinkle peep I am.

0:23:09 > 0:23:12Put a wick in her mouth and she'd burn for a fortnight.

0:23:17 > 0:23:19Nine Menlove Avenue. Thanks a lot.

0:23:23 > 0:23:26Chicken with some rice, one more little Indian.

0:23:26 > 0:23:29No. I'll be sick.

0:23:29 > 0:23:34We're on schedule for that, but we've gotta move location first.

0:23:36 > 0:23:42He didn't fancy me. He offered us a lift. He was just being concerned.

0:23:42 > 0:23:45Mm-hm. If he was being that concerned about me,

0:23:45 > 0:23:48I wouldn't be helping YOU into bed right now.

0:23:48 > 0:23:54Am I in bed?

0:23:49 > 0:23:54Yes, you're staying with me for a while. Don't worry, you'll be fine.

0:23:54 > 0:23:56Just fine.

0:23:57 > 0:24:01There we go. There we go.

0:24:05 > 0:24:09'Are you some peculiar, thus far undefined

0:24:09 > 0:24:11'breed of dickhead?

0:24:11 > 0:24:14'You have two head problems.'

0:24:14 > 0:24:17One, that was close.

0:24:17 > 0:24:19Very close.

0:24:19 > 0:24:23Put in layman's terms, she nearly caught you.

0:24:23 > 0:24:25And two...

0:24:25 > 0:24:28and this is far more worrying than the first one.

0:24:29 > 0:24:33You're talking to yourself in the mirror again.

0:24:33 > 0:24:35Really bad sign.

0:24:50 > 0:24:52Bigger sip, bigger sip, bigger sip.

0:24:52 > 0:24:54Don't throw up all over me.

0:24:58 > 0:25:01There are no PR jobs.

0:25:02 > 0:25:06I'm going to need some part-time work, Gerry.

0:25:07 > 0:25:09What you need is a change of image.

0:25:09 > 0:25:11That goes back and then...

0:25:11 > 0:25:14it sort of comes like a slant.

0:25:17 > 0:25:22# It's a change in atmosphere

0:25:22 > 0:25:26# And I've seen the signs, I know

0:25:26 > 0:25:30# That it's right for me to go

0:25:30 > 0:25:32# I'm on my way

0:25:32 > 0:25:35# So when you think of yesterday

0:25:35 > 0:25:38# Remember all

0:25:38 > 0:25:41# The things we said

0:25:41 > 0:25:45# And through the course of history

0:25:45 > 0:25:50# I hope you'll still remember me

0:25:50 > 0:25:54# And there can be no other way

0:25:54 > 0:25:58# There's nothing left for us to say

0:25:58 > 0:26:03# I've got to see it through alone

0:26:03 > 0:26:08# I've got to do this on my own... #

0:26:19 > 0:26:25For you, sir.

0:26:20 > 0:26:25Hey, gorgeous. What do you do when you're not serving mad cow burgers?

0:26:25 > 0:26:28I get up at 7.30am, make and deliver sandwiches

0:26:28 > 0:26:33before I come here at six and finish at midnight. If I've got energy left,

0:26:33 > 0:26:36I give my boyfriend a blow job.

0:26:36 > 0:26:38Would you like mayonnaise?

0:26:38 > 0:26:40You don't mean that.

0:26:40 > 0:26:42I do. Really.

0:26:42 > 0:26:45So, you were together two-and-a-half years

0:26:45 > 0:26:49and you've been here like suicide on a stick for a week.

0:26:49 > 0:26:54Nine days, Anna.

0:26:50 > 0:26:54For nine days, but bollocks to him?

0:26:54 > 0:26:57Yes! Why hasn't he even called to see if I'm OK,

0:26:57 > 0:27:02to admit he's a twat? "Hi, Helen, it's Gerry. I'm a twat.

0:27:02 > 0:27:04"Please come home, I love you."

0:27:04 > 0:27:07Bollocks to him. I'm over him.

0:27:07 > 0:27:09Oh, you're over him.

0:27:09 > 0:27:11Yes. Totally and completely over him.

0:27:11 > 0:27:13No, you're not.

0:27:13 > 0:27:16- I am. - You're not.

0:27:14 > 0:27:16Anna, I'm over him!

0:27:16 > 0:27:18How do you know I'm not?

0:27:18 > 0:27:20Well, two things, really.

0:27:20 > 0:27:24You're still counting how long you've been apart in days

0:27:24 > 0:27:27and probably hours and minutes.

0:27:27 > 0:27:31And you're still reading his horoscope in the hope that

0:27:31 > 0:27:36he's going to get wiped out in a napalming incident.

0:27:34 > 0:27:36Smart arse.

0:27:36 > 0:27:39What is he?

0:27:37 > 0:27:39A wanker.

0:27:39 > 0:27:41Oh, Aries.

0:27:41 > 0:27:44Aries. Aries.

0:27:45 > 0:27:48Well, just shows how much I know.

0:27:48 > 0:27:51"With Mars in the ascendancy,

0:27:51 > 0:27:54"you will get wiped out in a napalming incident."

0:27:54 > 0:27:56This guy's very good.

0:27:56 > 0:27:59DOORBELL RINGS

0:28:00 > 0:28:02You go. No, I will.

0:28:02 > 0:28:04No, you. I'm not in. I'm out.

0:28:04 > 0:28:08You don't know where or who with, especially who with.

0:28:09 > 0:28:14Quickly, go on!

0:28:11 > 0:28:14I am not answering the door like this.

0:28:14 > 0:28:16Anna, please! It won't be him anyway.

0:28:16 > 0:28:19So there's no big deal, is there?

0:28:23 > 0:28:27Bollocks to him, bollocks to him, bollocks to him.

0:28:27 > 0:28:32Bollocks to him, bollocks to him, bollocks to him, bollocks to him.

0:28:41 > 0:28:44Come on, you don't drink your fatty drinks,

0:28:44 > 0:28:47you'll never get quality cellulite.

0:28:47 > 0:28:49Haircut suits you, by the way.

0:28:49 > 0:28:51No, it does. It does, no gag.

0:28:51 > 0:28:58Never make a joke about women's hair, clothes or menstrual cycles.

0:28:55 > 0:28:58James, maybe I shouldn't be here.

0:28:58 > 0:29:00I'm sorry, I'm not being fair.

0:29:02 > 0:29:05Under normal circumstances, et cetera,

0:29:05 > 0:29:07you're really nice and funny.

0:29:07 > 0:29:10My friend Anna thinks you're cute.

0:29:10 > 0:29:13Wait. Your friend Anna thinks I'm cute?

0:29:13 > 0:29:15Your friend Anna thinks I'm cute?!

0:29:15 > 0:29:19- Shit, I just blew... Wait... - HE SIGHS

0:29:19 > 0:29:22£2.85. £2.85 on the wrong girl!

0:29:23 > 0:29:27Helen, sometimes we are plonked into people's lives

0:29:27 > 0:29:31when they need to be cheered up and reassured. For some reason,

0:29:31 > 0:29:34it's your job. We don't know why.

0:29:34 > 0:29:36In your case, it's MY job.

0:29:36 > 0:29:41But I'll be honest, the fact that I find you moderately attractive

0:29:41 > 0:29:46makes it easier on my part. I have no desire

0:29:46 > 0:29:49to overstep the mark. Seriously.

0:29:49 > 0:29:53Do you prefer diamonds or sapphires? Sorry!

0:29:53 > 0:29:55Moderately attractive?

0:29:55 > 0:29:57Ah-ha! I knew you were listening.

0:29:57 > 0:30:02Lose the sad eyes, the droopy mouth, I could get you an upgrade.

0:30:03 > 0:30:07So, what are you doing two weeks on Saturday?

0:30:07 > 0:30:11Probably killing myself.

0:30:09 > 0:30:11Excellent! What time does it finish? Do you like boats?

0:30:14 > 0:30:17We haven't done that for two months.

0:30:17 > 0:30:19Don't be daft.

0:30:19 > 0:30:22Two months, almost to the day.

0:30:22 > 0:30:26Almost to the day? Listen to you, what are we, a survey?

0:30:26 > 0:30:30How did one of my Waterford crystal brandy glasses

0:30:30 > 0:30:33get into the laundry basket?

0:30:33 > 0:30:34To the where?

0:30:34 > 0:30:37The laundry basket.

0:30:37 > 0:30:40I don't know. I answer questions on '70s pop music.

0:30:40 > 0:30:45Last week when I got the sack and I came back...am I going mad?

0:30:45 > 0:30:50But there was a bottle of brandy and two glasses on the dressing table.

0:30:48 > 0:30:50I don't know, I couldn't say.

0:30:50 > 0:30:54Well, there were, I'm sure.

0:30:52 > 0:30:54Hang on, wait a minute. No, I could say.

0:30:54 > 0:30:58There was a bottle and ONE glass because...

0:30:58 > 0:31:02No, I'm certain there were two glasses.

0:31:00 > 0:31:02Helen, I'm not...sure

0:31:02 > 0:31:04I like where this is going.

0:31:04 > 0:31:08I couldn't sleep, so I got up to get a drink to knock myself out.

0:31:08 > 0:31:12It was still there in the afternoon when you got home.

0:31:12 > 0:31:15You had also that day taken a blow to the, the, the head.

0:31:15 > 0:31:17We'd just had a party.

0:31:17 > 0:31:21Maybe one of your mad friends like Anna threw it there.

0:31:21 > 0:31:23Jesus!

0:31:24 > 0:31:27Let's spoil the moment properly.

0:31:27 > 0:31:31What are you trying to say? Am I shagging a brandy drinker?

0:31:31 > 0:31:35Ease up, will you? For Christ's sake, I'm only asking.

0:31:35 > 0:31:39Oh, no, women never ask. They don't ask, they insinuate.

0:31:39 > 0:31:42And you are insinuating, not very subtly, may I add,

0:31:42 > 0:31:44that I am...!

0:31:47 > 0:31:49Thanks.

0:31:49 > 0:31:52No, no, no, thank you. Thanks. I mean...

0:31:52 > 0:31:54HE BABBLES

0:31:54 > 0:31:56I mean, thank you, thank you.

0:31:56 > 0:31:58I mean, you know, this is...

0:31:58 > 0:32:02the right time to address our relationship.

0:32:02 > 0:32:04I mean, it's, it's, it's perfect.

0:32:04 > 0:32:08Perfect moment.

0:32:06 > 0:32:08Gerry, I asked a simple question.

0:32:08 > 0:32:11There's no need to become Woody Allen.

0:32:22 > 0:32:25Thanks, James, I'm sorry if you had a lousy time.

0:32:25 > 0:32:30Drinking two chocolate milkshakes represents social splendour.

0:32:30 > 0:32:32It's one of the perks of being shallow.

0:32:32 > 0:32:35Take care, Helen. You'll be fine.

0:32:51 > 0:32:53Thank you very much.

0:33:01 > 0:33:04It's amazing how you can learn to despise

0:33:04 > 0:33:08inanimate objects like tin openers that don't open tins,

0:33:08 > 0:33:12egg mayonnaise and skipjack tuna. Are you going out?

0:33:12 > 0:33:15I'm off to the library. I have some stuff to read up on.

0:33:15 > 0:33:17OK.

0:33:17 > 0:33:20I won't be more than a couple of hours.

0:33:20 > 0:33:23Would you rather I didn't go?

0:33:23 > 0:33:25No, no, of course not. Go.

0:33:26 > 0:33:28OK, bye.

0:34:16 > 0:34:19Lydia, what are you talking about? She followed me.

0:34:19 > 0:34:23I said I was going to the library so I've come to the library!

0:34:23 > 0:34:25Of course I can't come now.

0:34:25 > 0:34:29What if she's still lurking or waiting round the corner?

0:34:29 > 0:34:33Lydia, I don't know why she followed me! I'm not a sleuth!

0:34:33 > 0:34:36Please don't get hysterical.

0:34:36 > 0:34:39Don't get hysterical. Look, I'm sorry.

0:34:39 > 0:34:42I've booked our hotel in Dorset. Are we still going?

0:34:42 > 0:34:46Is she going to follow us there? Do you want to end this?

0:34:46 > 0:34:49Yes. I, I, I mean no. I don't want to...

0:34:49 > 0:34:53Of course we're still going. Don't...don't...

0:34:53 > 0:34:55Don't, don't, don't, don't what?!

0:34:55 > 0:34:59I don't know. Look...we're going to Dorset, OK?

0:34:59 > 0:35:01'We're going to have a great time.'

0:35:01 > 0:35:04I'll...talk to you tomorrow.

0:35:12 > 0:35:15Right. That's the lot.

0:35:15 > 0:35:17You don't live there any more.

0:35:17 > 0:35:20Thanks for going again, Anna.

0:35:20 > 0:35:22Any evidence of HER?

0:35:22 > 0:35:24Nothing that stood out.

0:35:25 > 0:35:28PHONE RINGS

0:35:28 > 0:35:30Hello?

0:35:30 > 0:35:32'It's James. Is Helen there?'

0:35:32 > 0:35:34Helen.

0:35:34 > 0:35:36It's James.

0:35:40 > 0:35:41Hello?

0:35:43 > 0:35:46Yes, tonight. The tonight that comes after today.

0:35:46 > 0:35:49(He wants to go out tonight.)

0:35:49 > 0:35:51(Go.)

0:35:51 > 0:35:55Please come. It'll be a laugh.

0:35:52 > 0:35:55Um... OK.

0:35:55 > 0:35:58Great. See ya.

0:36:00 > 0:36:02OK?

0:36:02 > 0:36:05Yeah. She doesn't want to leave here.

0:36:04 > 0:36:05I know.

0:36:05 > 0:36:09She's really frail. Want me to postpone my trip?

0:36:09 > 0:36:14I can do it later in the year.

0:36:10 > 0:36:14It's only a couple of weeks. Go.

0:36:12 > 0:36:14It's not that important.

0:36:14 > 0:36:18It is important. I want you to go.

0:36:16 > 0:36:18OK.

0:36:19 > 0:36:24It'll be hard to leave this place.

0:36:21 > 0:36:24But you've still got the London flat.

0:36:24 > 0:36:28You'll be nearer the hospital and you can get better crack in town.

0:36:28 > 0:36:31Hey, you know what the Monty Python boys say.

0:36:31 > 0:36:35"Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition."

0:36:35 > 0:36:36Exactly!

0:36:36 > 0:36:38Sorry, let me just...

0:36:38 > 0:36:42Lydia's becoming more demanding, and you feel bad

0:36:42 > 0:36:45cos Helen's working night and day to earn money.

0:36:45 > 0:36:48You've asked Helen to come on a trip with you,

0:36:48 > 0:36:50knowing she couldn't go

0:36:50 > 0:36:54to cover up the fact that you're really taking Lydia.

0:36:54 > 0:36:57Despite the fact that Lydia gave you an out

0:36:57 > 0:37:00which you didn't take, you're having a moral dilemma.

0:37:00 > 0:37:03Gerry, you are a morality-free zone.

0:37:03 > 0:37:06If I had no morals, would I discuss it?

0:37:06 > 0:37:08Whose idea was this trip?

0:37:08 > 0:37:10Yours or Lydia's?

0:37:11 > 0:37:16You want to get out of this Lydia thing. I foresee problems.

0:37:16 > 0:37:20I bet you're talking to yourself in the mirror again.

0:37:20 > 0:37:23Very bad sign.

0:37:21 > 0:37:23You've no compassion. None!

0:37:23 > 0:37:27Why do I bother confiding in you?

0:37:27 > 0:37:29I'm your mate. I'm here to help you.

0:37:34 > 0:37:36I'm here to help you.

0:37:39 > 0:37:41# Bam-bam-bam! #

0:37:41 > 0:37:44Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition.

0:37:44 > 0:37:47Our chief weapon is surprise. Fear and surprise!

0:37:47 > 0:37:50Our two chief weapons are surprise and fear!

0:37:50 > 0:37:54Our three main weapons are fear, surprise and a ruthless efficiency!

0:37:54 > 0:37:56I'll come in again.

0:37:59 > 0:38:03Here we go.

0:38:27 > 0:38:33What's the worst that could happen?

0:38:29 > 0:38:33I could fail miserably and look like a complete tosser?

0:38:33 > 0:38:36Exactly, so what is there to worry about?

0:38:36 > 0:38:38THEY CHUCKLE

0:38:42 > 0:38:45I had a really nice time, James.

0:38:45 > 0:38:48Did you? Shit, sorry, that's against the rules.

0:38:48 > 0:38:51Yes, it is. Bear that in mind in future.

0:38:51 > 0:38:55I'm getting over a major break-up.

0:38:52 > 0:38:55Yeah, sorry. Won't happen again.

0:39:01 > 0:39:03Goodnight, Helen.

0:39:07 > 0:39:10Hey, everything happens for the best.

0:39:10 > 0:39:12You'll never know if you don't try.

0:39:12 > 0:39:17Wear something warm on Saturday. It can get cold on the river.

0:39:17 > 0:39:19Take care.

0:39:27 > 0:39:29# Is that you?

0:39:30 > 0:39:33# Looks like you've changed your ways again... #

0:39:33 > 0:39:37So, what other ideas has James run by you?

0:39:37 > 0:39:42Anna, don't do desperate mother acting with me. He's a friend.

0:39:42 > 0:39:44OK? Friend.

0:39:44 > 0:39:48I'm not remotely interested in him romantically.

0:39:46 > 0:39:48- You're not?- No.

0:39:48 > 0:39:51So how come last night was the first night

0:39:51 > 0:39:55you didn't ask if anyone had called the second you walked in?

0:39:55 > 0:40:00# What I know now

0:40:00 > 0:40:03# It's not always a happy ending

0:40:04 > 0:40:07# Yeah, but hey!

0:40:10 > 0:40:13# Here comes that rainy day again

0:40:16 > 0:40:19# Hey, look at me

0:40:19 > 0:40:22# I don't feel like cryin'

0:40:22 > 0:40:24# No

0:40:24 > 0:40:27# I don't feel like cryin'

0:40:27 > 0:40:32# No, I don't feel like it

0:40:35 > 0:40:39# And hey, look at me... #

0:40:39 > 0:40:40'You're sorry?'

0:40:40 > 0:40:43You're sorry that four of the staff here

0:40:43 > 0:40:47have had food poisoning after eating your sandwiches?

0:40:47 > 0:40:52They all had the same sandwiches and the same symptoms at the same time.

0:40:52 > 0:40:55Are you trained in the catering trade?

0:40:55 > 0:40:57No, actually, I work in PR.

0:40:57 > 0:41:01You're not doing a good PR job this morning, are you?

0:41:01 > 0:41:06I've convinced my colleagues not to take the matter further THIS time.

0:41:07 > 0:41:10Now, I have five people's work to do.

0:41:12 > 0:41:13'Sorry?'

0:41:13 > 0:41:16Helen delivers sandwiches to your office?

0:41:16 > 0:41:19Yes, and today I had reason to summon her.

0:41:19 > 0:41:23Well, I made up a reason, to be brutally honest.

0:41:23 > 0:41:26She's quite pretty in a British, horsey way.

0:41:26 > 0:41:29What are you playing at? Have you gone raving mad?

0:41:29 > 0:41:33She's not bloody stupid!

0:41:31 > 0:41:33Ooh, I wouldn't say that.

0:41:33 > 0:41:38I wanted to see what the woman you ditched me for is like.

0:41:36 > 0:41:38Now, now, now, now, wait a sec!

0:41:38 > 0:41:42I did not ditch you... You went back to America.

0:41:41 > 0:41:42I wanted to see

0:41:42 > 0:41:45what this girl you have no intention of leaving,

0:41:45 > 0:41:49despite the pre-orgasmic suggestion that you are,

0:41:49 > 0:41:51has that is so unleavable.

0:41:51 > 0:41:55And I have to say that I ended our brief meeting at a loss.

0:41:55 > 0:41:59Don't talk like this. It sounds ugly. I've told you

0:41:59 > 0:42:01I cannot leave Helen for...for...

0:42:01 > 0:42:04Y-y-y-you know.

0:42:04 > 0:42:06For me?

0:42:07 > 0:42:09Is that what you're trying to say?

0:42:09 > 0:42:13You can't leave her for me?

0:42:13 > 0:42:18You haven't said you wanted that.

0:42:15 > 0:42:18Gerry, I'm a woman.

0:42:18 > 0:42:20We don't say what we want.

0:42:20 > 0:42:23But we become pissed off if we don't get it.

0:42:23 > 0:42:25That's what makes us so fascinating.

0:42:25 > 0:42:27And not a little bit scary.

0:42:36 > 0:42:39Wherever you were tonight,

0:42:39 > 0:42:41you weren't with me. Helen called,

0:42:41 > 0:42:45looking for you.

0:42:43 > 0:42:45- OK. - Yeah, all right.

0:42:45 > 0:42:46Thanks, mate. Bye.

0:42:46 > 0:42:50Oh, thank God! I was so worried. Where have you been?

0:42:50 > 0:42:54I went to Anna's. I needed to see a friendly face.

0:42:54 > 0:42:57I've had a horrible day.

0:42:57 > 0:43:01I met Cruella De Vil's less nice sister this morning.

0:43:01 > 0:43:03- She completely deflated me. - I know.

0:43:03 > 0:43:06How do you know?

0:43:06 > 0:43:08Oh, no, I mean, I can tell.

0:43:08 > 0:43:10Jeez, you look terrible.

0:43:14 > 0:43:17Where were you earlier? I needed to talk to you.

0:43:17 > 0:43:21Well, I had some stuff to read up on,

0:43:21 > 0:43:23so I went to the library.

0:43:23 > 0:43:25God, you're always at the library.

0:43:25 > 0:43:30I'm sick of waiting on tables. I know when you finish the book

0:43:30 > 0:43:32we'll be millionaires, but...

0:43:32 > 0:43:35when are you going to finish it?

0:43:37 > 0:43:39I'm going to finish it very soon.

0:43:40 > 0:43:42Very soon.

0:43:45 > 0:43:48Helen...there's something I want to tell you.

0:43:48 > 0:43:51Er, NEED to tell you.

0:43:52 > 0:43:55Um, it's a little bit to do with the...

0:43:55 > 0:43:59brandy glass and a little bit to do with that woman

0:43:59 > 0:44:01you met today,

0:44:01 > 0:44:05only please let me finish before you say anything.

0:44:05 > 0:44:08OK?

0:44:11 > 0:44:13Helen?

0:44:16 > 0:44:18Bollocks.

0:44:18 > 0:44:21Come on, James!

0:44:19 > 0:44:21Come on!

0:44:26 > 0:44:29Pull! Pull!

0:44:29 > 0:44:31Come on! Come on!

0:44:31 > 0:44:33# I've got an aching in my bones

0:44:33 > 0:44:34# I've been exposed

0:44:43 > 0:44:47# It's where I've longed to be... #

0:44:48 > 0:44:51Weird. I knew there'd be a boat race going by

0:44:51 > 0:44:53with purple and white shirts.

0:44:53 > 0:44:55Sorry?

0:44:55 > 0:44:58Why hasn't he asked you to go with him to Dorset?

0:44:57 > 0:44:58He has. I've got to work.

0:44:59 > 0:45:04Anyway, it'll be good for him to get away. We need a bit of space.

0:45:04 > 0:45:07Anna, can I ask you a daft question?

0:45:07 > 0:45:10Did you drop a glass in the laundry basket at our party?

0:45:10 > 0:45:13Sounds like a ridiculous thing to do.

0:45:13 > 0:45:16It was almost certainly me. You OK?

0:45:16 > 0:45:20Just going quietly mad.

0:45:18 > 0:45:20Thank God for that. I was worried.

0:45:56 > 0:45:58I mean, you seem so distant.

0:46:00 > 0:46:04I'm here, Gerry, if you need to talk to me about anything.

0:46:04 > 0:46:09Hey, that's Helen in there.

0:46:05 > 0:46:09# Seven sons had Father Abraham, heed! #

0:46:09 > 0:46:12And she's got blonde hair.

0:46:12 > 0:46:17There's load of them having some sponsored epileptic fit.

0:46:19 > 0:46:22Lydia.

0:46:22 > 0:46:26Maybe it isn't writer's block at all, Gerry.

0:46:26 > 0:46:28Maybe it's Helen block.

0:46:28 > 0:46:32I don't want to hear about Helen.

0:46:32 > 0:46:35I don't care about Helen.

0:46:37 > 0:46:40The trouble is, YOU do.

0:46:40 > 0:46:43Quite clearly.

0:46:43 > 0:46:46I just thought of a great finish for your book!

0:47:14 > 0:47:16YOU did Pierre Claude?

0:47:16 > 0:47:18Mm-hm.

0:47:18 > 0:47:21He's my hero. You did his launch?

0:47:21 > 0:47:23I heard that was a really classy do.

0:47:23 > 0:47:27People went on about it.

0:47:25 > 0:47:27I mean, six days is...

0:47:28 > 0:47:30Could I come and take a look?

0:47:30 > 0:47:33I can't promise anything stupendous.

0:47:33 > 0:47:36Sure, yeah, yeah, no problem.

0:47:36 > 0:47:38You're kidding! Come down.

0:47:38 > 0:47:41Pierre Claude? Oh, wow!

0:47:44 > 0:47:46You're very thoughtful, James.

0:47:46 > 0:47:49You give out an incredible amount.

0:47:49 > 0:47:52You're the same. You encouraged me today.

0:47:52 > 0:47:55I saw you jumping up and down like a mad thing.

0:47:55 > 0:47:57Spurred me on.

0:47:59 > 0:48:01I love this bridge.

0:48:01 > 0:48:04My great grandfather helped build it.

0:48:04 > 0:48:09I often come and stand on it when I want to, um...

0:48:09 > 0:48:11Build a bridge?

0:48:13 > 0:48:15I'm sorry.

0:48:22 > 0:48:24Oh, God, James, don't.

0:48:24 > 0:48:26Ohhhh, I'm sorry.

0:48:26 > 0:48:28- No, I... - I-I-I-I...

0:48:28 > 0:48:32I know this is an ideal sort of kissing moment.

0:48:32 > 0:48:35You know, night, moon, boat, water lapping.

0:48:35 > 0:48:37You know, it's perfect

0:48:37 > 0:48:41and I'm not not feeling that it would be nice...

0:48:43 > 0:48:46..but I don't really know anything about you

0:48:46 > 0:48:50and I'm still on the rebound. Oh, God, I hate that word, but I am.

0:48:50 > 0:48:53Ah, who isn't? Everyone is.

0:48:53 > 0:48:56I'm on a rebound myself in a way.

0:48:58 > 0:49:00So, who are you on the rebound from?

0:49:00 > 0:49:02A girl called Pamela.

0:49:02 > 0:49:06My whole life pivots around her and I breaking up.

0:49:06 > 0:49:08And when was that?

0:49:08 > 0:49:091973. We were eight.

0:49:11 > 0:49:13I bloody loved that woman.

0:49:13 > 0:49:16No warning, just left me for somebody else.

0:49:16 > 0:49:18Who?

0:49:18 > 0:49:20Gary Glitter.

0:49:20 > 0:49:24The cow.

0:49:21 > 0:49:24Gary Glitter! For crying out loud!

0:49:24 > 0:49:29All my friends were being left for Donny Osmond or David Cassidy.

0:49:29 > 0:49:32I could've come to terms with that, given time.

0:49:32 > 0:49:35But Gary, she wanted to touch him there. Yeah!

0:49:35 > 0:49:37You know?

0:49:37 > 0:49:40I went to pieces, as you can imagine,

0:49:40 > 0:49:44and there was no Junior Prozac to see me through so...

0:49:52 > 0:49:55So, I...er, I, um...

0:49:55 > 0:49:57I kissed you.

0:49:57 > 0:49:59Yeah, yeah, I spotted that too.

0:49:59 > 0:50:02- You weren't going to do that. - Um...

0:50:02 > 0:50:05Would you mind just putting that

0:50:05 > 0:50:09down to a momentary lapse of, um, concentration?

0:50:09 > 0:50:14Is that what it was?

0:50:10 > 0:50:14No. Yes. I don't...

0:50:14 > 0:50:16Help.

0:50:19 > 0:50:24I don't want to be a confusion in your life. I don't, truly.

0:50:24 > 0:50:28But something's happened to me since I've met you

0:50:28 > 0:50:31that I wasn't expecting and...

0:50:31 > 0:50:33and I don't really...

0:50:33 > 0:50:36Well, I wasn't expecting...

0:55:51 > 0:55:53MUSIC: "Miracle" by Olive

0:55:53 > 0:55:56# That makes it a love thing

0:55:56 > 0:55:59# Straight to the face

0:55:59 > 0:56:02# One-way love will be a miracle

0:56:02 > 0:56:04# Touching the place

0:56:04 > 0:56:07# That makes it a love thing

0:56:07 > 0:56:09# Straight to the face... #

0:56:09 > 0:56:13It's official - I love you.

0:56:13 > 0:56:16Thank you. You're a genius. I'm ecstatic.

0:56:16 > 0:56:19Have you...have you seen James?

0:56:19 > 0:56:23Yeah. Yeah, he had to go. Early start. He apologised.

0:56:31 > 0:56:33PHONE RINGS

0:56:41 > 0:56:46Business trip. Newcastle or something. I didn't want to pry.

0:56:46 > 0:56:50His secretary wasn't very forthcoming.

0:56:48 > 0:56:50Do you believe he's away

0:56:50 > 0:56:53- or do you think he's avoiding you? - Don't know.

0:56:53 > 0:56:56- Did you leave a message? - No.

0:56:54 > 0:56:56Maybe you should have.

0:56:56 > 0:57:02Did he see Gerry kiss you?

0:56:58 > 0:57:02I don't know.

0:56:59 > 0:57:02He might be hoping you've called.

0:57:02 > 0:57:06Does he have a mobile?

0:57:03 > 0:57:06Anna, ease up, will you? Bloody hell!

0:57:06 > 0:57:09They have less questions on Jeopardy.

0:57:09 > 0:57:12I was nervous. I wanted to get off the phone.

0:57:12 > 0:57:16It's such a piddly thing. Hardly worth him getting uptight.

0:57:16 > 0:57:18Oh, Gerry called, by the way.

0:57:18 > 0:57:21Terrific. That's just gre...

0:57:21 > 0:57:25Two months ago, I want Gerry to come round, James comes round.

0:57:25 > 0:57:28Now I want James to call, Gerry calls.

0:57:36 > 0:57:40'It was the weirdest dream. You were there

0:57:40 > 0:57:42'and you had a funny mask

0:57:42 > 0:57:45'over your face.'

0:57:45 > 0:57:50You had something that you needed to tell me but you couldn't say it.

0:57:48 > 0:57:50That does it, I'm taking away

0:57:50 > 0:57:55your class one drugs for a week.

0:57:52 > 0:57:55Anyway, um...

0:57:55 > 0:57:57there's something else

0:57:57 > 0:57:59I wanted to tell you.

0:58:00 > 0:58:03I fainted at work the other night.

0:58:03 > 0:58:05Sweetheart, are you OK?

0:58:05 > 0:58:10Yes, but... I don't normally faint, so, I, um...

0:58:10 > 0:58:11- Ohh! - GLASS SMASHES

0:58:11 > 0:58:17What was that?

0:58:13 > 0:58:17The people next door are engaged in some bizarre sexual ritual.

0:58:17 > 0:58:21I may pop in later and introduce myself.

0:58:21 > 0:58:25What were you saying?

0:58:23 > 0:58:25LYDIA GROANS LOUDLY

0:58:25 > 0:58:29I don't normally faint, so I was little...curious.

0:58:29 > 0:58:32Ow! Oh! Oh!

0:58:32 > 0:58:34Oh!

0:58:34 > 0:58:37I stubbed my foot on the side of the bath!

0:58:37 > 0:58:38Ohh!

0:58:38 > 0:58:40God, it sounds horrific.

0:58:40 > 0:58:42I know. Sh!

0:58:42 > 0:58:45Anyway...

0:58:45 > 0:58:50There's the landlady. She keeps coming up with sandwiches.

0:58:50 > 0:58:54I'll phone you back when World War XII has stopped for tea. Bye.

0:58:57 > 0:59:00So I did a test and it turns out that I'm pregnant.

0:59:02 > 0:59:04I just thought you might like to know.

0:59:06 > 0:59:10- Ohh! - Have you gone completely insane?

0:59:10 > 0:59:13- What are you trying to do?! - What do you mean?

0:59:13 > 0:59:17I think I've broke my toe.

0:59:14 > 0:59:17Lydia, I'm on the pissing phone to Helen!

0:59:17 > 0:59:19For goodness sake!

0:59:19 > 0:59:24She doesn't know you're here. She thinks I'm on a research trip.

0:59:24 > 0:59:26Alone. Remember?

0:59:26 > 0:59:31I remember. Don't worry, I remember. It's pretty hard to forget.

0:59:31 > 0:59:34So, what are you trying to do?! Coming in here,

0:59:34 > 0:59:38screeching the place down when I'm on the phone!

0:59:38 > 0:59:40Don't you know, Gerry?

0:59:40 > 0:59:44Don't you know what I am trying to do?!

0:59:44 > 0:59:46I am trying

0:59:46 > 0:59:49to be your girlfriend, Gerry!

0:59:49 > 0:59:52I am trying to win you back! It's fairly simple!

0:59:52 > 0:59:56I am standing on the platform

0:59:56 > 0:59:59at Limbo Central with my heart and soul

0:59:59 > 1:00:03packed in my suitcase, waiting for the Gerry-fucking-Express

1:00:03 > 1:00:08to tell me that my ticket is still valid, that I may reboard the train.

1:00:08 > 1:00:10Only the station announcer

1:00:10 > 1:00:15keeps coming on and telling me that my train is delayed as the driver

1:00:15 > 1:00:17has suffered a major panic attack

1:00:17 > 1:00:22in Indecision City! "We suggest you take the bus!"

1:00:22 > 1:00:25That's what I am trying to do, you cripple!

1:00:33 > 1:00:35Except...

1:00:37 > 1:00:40it's quite clear

1:00:40 > 1:00:43that that is never going to happen...

1:00:43 > 1:00:46is it?

1:00:46 > 1:00:48No reply.

1:00:50 > 1:00:51Perfect.

1:00:51 > 1:00:56So, I'm not waiting any more, Gerry.

1:00:56 > 1:00:59I am cashing my ticket in.

1:00:59 > 1:01:01I am taking that bus.

1:01:02 > 1:01:05Oh, God! I'll tell all my friends,

1:01:05 > 1:01:08"Never go back."

1:01:08 > 1:01:11Look at me. I must be crazy.

1:01:11 > 1:01:15Don't phone me for a while. Aw!

1:01:15 > 1:01:17Oh!

1:01:17 > 1:01:22No! Don't phone me at all! Ever!

1:01:23 > 1:01:25It's over!!

1:01:25 > 1:01:28Again!!

1:01:28 > 1:01:31I've done it, Russell.

1:01:31 > 1:01:36I've bloody done it!

1:01:33 > 1:01:36Congratulations. Done what?

1:01:35 > 1:01:36I've finished it.

1:01:36 > 1:01:39Oh, the book! Oh, that's great.

1:01:39 > 1:01:44Not the book, not the book. I'm never going to finish that. The affair!

1:01:44 > 1:01:47The sordid affair with Lydia.

1:01:47 > 1:01:49I've blown her out in Dorset.

1:01:49 > 1:01:52I was decisive, but fair. I've just got back.

1:01:52 > 1:01:56Oh, God, I feel like I've got out of jail.

1:01:56 > 1:02:00No more deceit, no more lying. It was such a mistake.

1:02:00 > 1:02:02Never go back. But it's over.

1:02:02 > 1:02:04Whoo!

1:02:04 > 1:02:07I can't tell you it's such a good feeling.

1:02:07 > 1:02:11Well, I'm very pleased. How does Lydia feel about it?

1:02:11 > 1:02:14Well, she's not jumping through hoops,

1:02:14 > 1:02:16but it's the best thing by far.

1:02:16 > 1:02:18By far and away the best thing.

1:02:18 > 1:02:20She knows that. She will do when...

1:02:20 > 1:02:25Well, she was upset. I mean, a bit fraught, you know.

1:02:25 > 1:02:27Obviously. Oh, God, oh, God!

1:02:27 > 1:02:29I feel good. Gotta go home.

1:02:29 > 1:02:31I want to be home before Helen gets in.

1:02:36 > 1:02:39You never buy me flowers when you're meant to.

1:02:39 > 1:02:41So, yes, I'm suspicious.

1:02:41 > 1:02:46What else have you been doing that you're not meant to?

1:02:44 > 1:02:46Let me get this straight

1:02:46 > 1:02:50cos this is just brilliant. I buy you flowers on a whim,

1:02:50 > 1:02:52in a fit of,

1:02:52 > 1:02:56of, of, of, um, of romance, but...

1:02:56 > 1:03:00You couldn't even think of the word.

1:02:58 > 1:03:00But instead of being grateful,

1:03:00 > 1:03:05instead of being romanced, you're convinced that I'm ensconced

1:03:05 > 1:03:09in some decrepit, tacky, underhand, clandestine affair.

1:03:09 > 1:03:11In a nutshell.

1:03:21 > 1:03:24Gerry?!

1:03:25 > 1:03:27Are you back?

1:03:28 > 1:03:31I missed you, so I came home early.

1:03:31 > 1:03:33God!

1:03:34 > 1:03:36What are they?

1:03:36 > 1:03:41Well, they're flowers. For you.

1:03:41 > 1:03:43Do you not like them?

1:03:44 > 1:03:47That image of her sitting on top of you.

1:03:47 > 1:03:51Oh, God, I really don't know why I agreed to come.

1:03:51 > 1:03:54Please stop, I don't want you to touch me.

1:03:54 > 1:03:56I'm sorry. Don't go.

1:03:56 > 1:03:59Please try and put her out of your mind.

1:03:59 > 1:04:01She's out of mine.

1:04:01 > 1:04:02It's finished. Over.

1:04:02 > 1:04:06I made a mistake. Such a big, big mistake

1:04:06 > 1:04:09and I'm sorry. I'm truly,

1:04:09 > 1:04:11truly sorry.

1:04:12 > 1:04:17This new bloke James that you're seeing, does he not make mistakes?

1:04:17 > 1:04:23How do you know his name?

1:04:18 > 1:04:23A mate of Russell's works at the restaurant. They're mutual friends.

1:04:23 > 1:04:25It's not important.

1:04:25 > 1:04:30I don't want to talk about James or anyone else. I have to go.

1:04:30 > 1:04:32Oh, bye the way, I've, er...

1:04:32 > 1:04:35I've stopped writing the book.

1:04:36 > 1:04:40Helen...the truth is...

1:04:40 > 1:04:42I can't write without you.

1:04:42 > 1:04:45I can't do anything without you.

1:04:46 > 1:04:51I want you to come back to me, Helen.

1:04:51 > 1:04:53We were so good together.

1:04:54 > 1:04:57Remember how good we are together.

1:04:57 > 1:04:59PHONE RINGS

1:04:59 > 1:05:02Sorry. Just wait.

1:05:06 > 1:05:09- Yep? - I'm late. Four days. I'm never late.

1:05:09 > 1:05:14Russell, look, hi, mate, can I ring you back in a few minutes?

1:05:14 > 1:05:17Yeah. OK, OK. Thanks, mate. Cheers. Bye.

1:05:17 > 1:05:19That was Russell.

1:05:21 > 1:05:24I'm, I'm dying for the loo.

1:05:40 > 1:05:44'Telephone number 0171 4443184.

1:05:44 > 1:05:46'To return the call, press three.'

1:05:49 > 1:05:55PHONE RINGS

1:05:51 > 1:05:55Why are you pretending I'm Russell? What's going on?

1:05:56 > 1:05:59Gerry, answer me. Who's there?

1:05:59 > 1:06:01It's Helen, actually. We met once.

1:06:01 > 1:06:04I interrupted you faking your orgasm.

1:06:04 > 1:06:07Sorry I can't be more specific.

1:06:09 > 1:06:11You know what I was thinking?

1:06:12 > 1:06:14You're not going, are you?

1:06:14 > 1:06:16You wanker.

1:06:16 > 1:06:19You sad, sad wanker.

1:06:21 > 1:06:25I'm such a mug! The useless, no-good, shagging,

1:06:25 > 1:06:28horrible, despicable, lying,

1:06:28 > 1:06:31two-faced, pissing, shagging...

1:06:31 > 1:06:34You said shagging.

1:06:32 > 1:06:34..wanker!

1:06:36 > 1:06:38You know the worst bit?

1:06:38 > 1:06:40All I could think about was James.

1:06:40 > 1:06:45I felt like I was being unfaithful to James just by being there.

1:06:45 > 1:06:48That sounds like the best bit. And you were.

1:06:50 > 1:06:53He didn't call, did he?

1:06:53 > 1:06:56That's nearly a week.

1:06:57 > 1:07:00I think I've blown it. I've blown it, haven't I?

1:07:02 > 1:07:07I blame British Telecom. One number if you want to know who called,

1:07:07 > 1:07:12another one if you don't want them to know you called, itemised bills.

1:07:12 > 1:07:16They are condemning the average red-blooded man

1:07:16 > 1:07:18to a life of terminal monogamy.

1:07:18 > 1:07:22What are they after, the Nobel Peace Prize?

1:07:20 > 1:07:22Lydia might be pregnant.

1:07:28 > 1:07:32Oh, no more, please! I can't take it!

1:07:32 > 1:07:35This is terrific stuff. Being with you

1:07:35 > 1:07:40makes the wait for the next episode of Seinfeld easier to bear.

1:07:40 > 1:07:43I didn't reckon on things turning out this way.

1:07:43 > 1:07:47Everything's a cock-up. What's going on?

1:07:47 > 1:07:51To use boxing parlance, if I may, it's quite simple.

1:07:51 > 1:07:53You've just lost.

1:07:53 > 1:07:55Are you sure? You've been a bit...

1:07:55 > 1:07:59I don't know, a bit distant since I've got back.

1:07:59 > 1:08:01I know.

1:08:01 > 1:08:05Well, there are a couple of things. Which one first?

1:08:05 > 1:08:08I don't mind.

1:08:06 > 1:08:08Well, the small thing

1:08:08 > 1:08:12is that I've got an interview for a job. A proper one.

1:08:13 > 1:08:17International company opening up in London.

1:08:17 > 1:08:20Chairwoman called and said she'd heard a lot about me.

1:08:20 > 1:08:23Invited me to her apartment for a serious chat.

1:08:25 > 1:08:29Jesus Christ!

1:08:27 > 1:08:29What?

1:08:29 > 1:08:34Jesus Christ, I mean, that's not a small thing, that's huge.

1:08:34 > 1:08:37I mean it's, it's, it's brilliant.

1:08:37 > 1:08:40I mean, it's the best.

1:12:33 > 1:12:37After Clive's party, I didn't want to presume that we...

1:12:37 > 1:12:43You think I just go to bed with all successful oarsmen I come across?

1:12:43 > 1:12:47Sorry. Nervous humour.

1:12:44 > 1:12:47Well, I hoped not.

1:12:56 > 1:13:00Oh, I see. I'll, um...

1:13:00 > 1:13:02I'll come straight away. OK, thanks.

1:13:02 > 1:13:05My mum had to go into hospital for tests.

1:13:05 > 1:13:08The results are through. I should go.

1:13:08 > 1:13:12Do you want me to come with you?

1:13:14 > 1:13:17Yeah, that's really nice of you.

1:13:18 > 1:13:21Er, well, maybe, um...

1:13:21 > 1:13:24She's quite frail and I don't know...

1:13:24 > 1:13:27It's OK.

1:13:27 > 1:13:28But thanks.

1:13:30 > 1:13:33We're having dinner at Clive's tonight

1:13:33 > 1:13:35if you're not doing anything.

1:13:35 > 1:13:37You want to come along?

1:13:39 > 1:13:43Well, some other time.

1:13:40 > 1:13:43I'd love to, if that's OK.

1:13:43 > 1:13:45Yeah, yeah!

1:13:46 > 1:13:49Of course. Crikey, it's, it's very OK. Yeah.

1:13:49 > 1:13:53At the risk of sounding old fashioned, I'll pick you up at 8.

1:13:53 > 1:13:58Is that a WILL pick me up or a haven't, not, didn't, might?

1:14:00 > 1:14:03Don't worry about your mum. She'll be OK.

1:14:03 > 1:14:05Remember Monty Python.

1:14:06 > 1:14:08Well, I'll see you later.

1:14:12 > 1:14:14- Bye. - Bye.

1:14:23 > 1:14:25- Hiya. - How are you?

1:14:25 > 1:14:27Yeah, just...you know...

1:14:29 > 1:14:32Is Gerry excited about being a daddy?

1:14:32 > 1:14:34I haven't told him yet.

1:14:34 > 1:14:37Never seems to be the right moment somehow.

1:14:38 > 1:14:41Come on, let's celebrate with a proper drink.

1:14:41 > 1:14:44Bloody marvellous idea.

1:14:44 > 1:14:49I really shouldn't in my condition, but I'm really going to.

1:14:47 > 1:14:49What have you got?

1:14:49 > 1:14:53Um...brandy.

1:14:50 > 1:14:53Ooh, no. Yuck! Makes me vomit.

1:14:57 > 1:15:00# Coming up for air

1:16:09 > 1:16:11Half day?

1:16:15 > 1:16:17James?

1:16:20 > 1:16:21Since last night?

1:16:23 > 1:16:26Sorry.

1:16:27 > 1:16:31You can't tell from one. They can be inaccurate.

1:16:31 > 1:16:35I bought three packets. Two in a packet, that's six.

1:16:35 > 1:16:37You can tell from six.

1:16:38 > 1:16:42What are you going to do?

1:16:47 > 1:16:49Is James Hammerton in?

1:16:49 > 1:16:52I'm afraid not.

1:16:50 > 1:16:52Do you know when he's due back?

1:16:52 > 1:16:59I'm not sure. He's gone to visit his mother in hospital with his wife.

1:16:59 > 1:17:01What?

1:17:01 > 1:17:04Can I take a name and number? Get him to call you?

1:17:06 > 1:17:09Um...no, thank you.

1:17:52 > 1:17:55There's something I want you to know.

1:17:57 > 1:18:01Anna doesn't drink brandy. It makes her vomit.

1:18:03 > 1:18:06Those glasses were not used at the party.

1:18:06 > 1:18:09They only come out for special dinners.

1:18:09 > 1:18:13Am I meant to immediately get the reference here?

1:18:13 > 1:18:16Are you having an affair?

1:18:16 > 1:18:19Just tell me yes or no.

1:18:21 > 1:18:25No. I'm not.

1:18:33 > 1:18:36Helen...look into my eyes.

1:18:36 > 1:18:40I am not having an affair.

1:18:42 > 1:18:43I'm not.

1:18:46 > 1:18:51I shouldn't have brought this up now. I have to go to my interview.

1:18:52 > 1:18:55We'll talk later.

1:18:55 > 1:18:58Are you going to be here when I get back?

1:18:58 > 1:19:01Yes, of course.

1:19:03 > 1:19:05Helen! Listen...

1:19:06 > 1:19:09Good luck, OK?

1:19:18 > 1:19:21Hello?

1:19:19 > 1:19:21Hi, Anna. Is Helen there?

1:19:21 > 1:19:25You've got a damn nerve phoning here!

1:19:23 > 1:19:25What?

1:19:28 > 1:19:33Anna, just open the door! I don't know what's going on!

1:19:33 > 1:19:37I'll tell you then. She saw you, James.

1:19:37 > 1:19:42At the hospital with your wife. What is it with you bloody men?!

1:19:42 > 1:19:44- Let me see her. - She's not here.

1:19:44 > 1:19:46Where is she?

1:19:45 > 1:19:46I don't know!

1:19:46 > 1:19:49Oh, shit, shit, bollocks!

1:19:49 > 1:19:52Oh, God! You idiot!!

1:20:10 > 1:20:12Clive! You seen Helen?

1:20:12 > 1:20:15No. Why?

1:20:44 > 1:20:46Helen!

1:20:46 > 1:20:49Helen!

1:20:52 > 1:20:56Helen! Helen, you've made a mistake! I am such an idiot!

1:20:56 > 1:20:59Look at me. Listen to me, please!

1:20:59 > 1:21:04No, YOU listen! I never want to see you again!

1:21:04 > 1:21:07I have been through enough for one year!

1:21:07 > 1:21:10I stupidly believed here was a man who was different

1:21:10 > 1:21:13from men, but it is clear I made a mistake!

1:21:13 > 1:21:17Now, please, do me a favour and go away!

1:21:18 > 1:21:20I am married, but I am separated!

1:21:20 > 1:21:24Walk away if you want, but take this with you.

1:21:24 > 1:21:27The woman you saw was a woman I married three years ago!

1:21:27 > 1:21:31We separated six months ago and soon we'll be divorced!

1:21:31 > 1:21:35Nothing aggressive. I didn't tell you before because...

1:21:35 > 1:21:38I don't know why, I...

1:21:38 > 1:21:41I have wanted to tell you so many times and...

1:21:41 > 1:21:46now you've found out another way. I wish I had told you.

1:21:46 > 1:21:48My mother is ill in hospital

1:21:48 > 1:21:53and Claudia agreed to keep up the pretence that we were OK for my mum.

1:21:53 > 1:21:55As a favour.

1:21:55 > 1:21:58She's a very decent woman.

1:21:59 > 1:22:01Do you have a mum, Helen?

1:22:04 > 1:22:10Ten minutes, Lydia. And don't ever turn up at my window again like that.

1:22:10 > 1:22:15It's over. You said it yourself.

1:22:12 > 1:22:15I know. Sorry, I wasn't thinking.

1:22:15 > 1:22:17I just want to show you something.

1:22:24 > 1:22:27Oh, Helen...

1:22:27 > 1:22:30let's make sure we're together for the right reason.

1:22:30 > 1:22:33And right now there is just confusion

1:22:33 > 1:22:36and it can be erased in a split second.

1:22:38 > 1:22:41- KNOCK ON DOOR - Get that, would you?

1:22:53 > 1:22:57Of course, if you don't want to keep it, darling...

1:22:57 > 1:23:01Who is it? Oh, hello again. You're right on time.

1:23:03 > 1:23:06Is this the truth, James?

1:23:17 > 1:23:19Permission to engage the enemy, sir.

1:23:25 > 1:23:27I can't take the interview now.

1:23:27 > 1:23:32I'm discussing whether or not I'm going to keep your boyfriend's baby.

1:23:34 > 1:23:38James...there's something I have to tell you.

1:23:38 > 1:23:42I'm so sorry you had to hear it this way.

1:23:45 > 1:23:48I should just phone Anna and tell her I'm OK.

1:23:50 > 1:23:51Helen...

1:23:53 > 1:23:55I love you.

1:23:55 > 1:23:57Please wait!

1:23:57 > 1:24:00- Let me go! - Helen!

1:24:57 > 1:24:59Er, I will be.

1:24:59 > 1:25:02We're, we're getting married.

1:25:02 > 1:25:04If I could have a quick word.

1:25:06 > 1:25:10Helen has suffered major internal injuries, James.

1:25:10 > 1:25:12Helen has lost her baby, Gerry.

1:25:14 > 1:25:19I'm afraid she's lost her baby. You did know she was pregnant?

1:25:20 > 1:25:23Did you know she was pregnant?

1:25:26 > 1:25:29She will be OK though, won't she?

1:25:29 > 1:25:32She is going to wake up, isn't she?

1:26:46 > 1:26:49I'm glad you caught the train that day.

1:28:34 > 1:28:39I'm sorry I'm late.

1:28:35 > 1:28:39No problem. Your mother's showing some signs of improvement.

1:28:39 > 1:28:41She's sitting up.

1:28:41 > 1:28:43That's great.

1:29:02 > 1:29:06Helen, I swear...

1:29:10 > 1:29:13I'll do anything you want, darling.

1:29:13 > 1:29:15Will you?

1:29:17 > 1:29:19In that case, I want you to stand up,

1:29:56 > 1:29:59You can say that again.

1:29:59 > 1:30:02# She's got a young man waiting

1:30:05 > 1:30:08# Yeah, she's grown up

1:30:19 > 1:30:21# To the lies

1:30:21 > 1:30:24# And the jive talk

1:30:24 > 1:30:26# But she'll find true love

1:30:28 > 1:30:31# And tenderness on the block

1:30:43 > 1:30:45# She was wide eyed

1:30:48 > 1:30:50Thank you.

1:30:50 > 1:30:53Cheer up. You know what the Monty Python boys say.

1:30:53 > 1:30:56"Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition."

1:30:56 > 1:30:58# And tenderness on the block

1:31:01 > 1:31:05# Hey, she's gonna find true love
