0:00:15 > 0:00:19My flatmate says everything changes when you turn 30.

0:00:19 > 0:00:24The illusions of youth are replaced by rock solid realities.

0:00:26 > 0:00:29Anyway, I'm playing it very cool this birthday -

0:00:29 > 0:00:34a couple of beers, Chinese takeaway, watching telly.

0:00:34 > 0:00:37My friends are good about it. They know

0:00:37 > 0:00:42the last thing I want on my plate is a big splashy glittery hoo-ha.

0:00:42 > 0:00:44Th-they are clear about that.

0:00:55 > 0:00:57ALL: Surprise!

0:01:00 > 0:01:03- Leo! Leo, where do you think you're going?- Out.

0:01:03 > 0:01:05Get back in here. Go on!

0:01:07 > 0:01:09The boy's come back. Yahoo!

0:01:09 > 0:01:14Happy birthday. I wanted to show you where you are now on the medicine wheel.

0:01:14 > 0:01:18Out of the house of the hunter, which is a very solitary house

0:01:18 > 0:01:23- and into the house of the warrior. - Great. I'm just going to the loo.

0:01:23 > 0:01:27Look what I've made. Taste it. Happy birthday, Leo.

0:01:28 > 0:01:30- Nice?- It's lovely, yeah.

0:01:30 > 0:01:33- Hey, Leo. Happy birthday. - Hi, thanks.

0:01:33 > 0:01:37I've always wanted a surprise party but somehow it's never happened.

0:01:37 > 0:01:41It's probably because I'm waiting for it.

0:01:41 > 0:01:43I'm just going to the loo, OK?

0:01:45 > 0:01:47Mm! Guess who it isn't.

0:01:47 > 0:01:52- Ummm. Baby Spice?- Correct. Here, open it now. I can't wait.

0:01:52 > 0:01:54- I'll take that.- Oh, thanks.

0:01:57 > 0:02:00- Oh!- I paid for it. It may look like I didn't but I did.

0:02:00 > 0:02:07- That's great. It's your book! - It's too heavy, isn't it? Throw it away. I don't mind.

0:02:07 > 0:02:12- I'll put it with the other pressies. - You'll enjoy it. I learned a lot. - Great.

0:02:12 > 0:02:18- Ange? Where's Darren?- I'm not going to tell you if you're going to give him a bad time.

0:02:18 > 0:02:22- I was just going to thank him. - You're such a terrible liar.

0:02:22 > 0:02:24Relax and have a good time.

0:02:24 > 0:02:26I bought you a present. You'll love it.

0:02:26 > 0:02:28See you in a minute.

0:02:28 > 0:02:31Hi, thanks for coming.

0:02:31 > 0:02:34How are you? Are you all right? Good to see you.

0:02:34 > 0:02:39Good to see you. Thanks for coming. I'll see you in a minute, OK?

0:02:40 > 0:02:45"This isn't so bad, actually. I got through the top floor in one piece."

0:02:45 > 0:02:48- Oh, hi there. How are you? - I'm fine.

0:02:50 > 0:02:53You've lost some weight, haven't you?

0:02:53 > 0:02:55- Are you coming down? - What are you up to?

0:02:55 > 0:02:58Well, you know, just keeping busy.

0:02:59 > 0:03:01Hi. How are you? Fine.

0:03:01 > 0:03:05"Wonder how Darren found half these people."

0:03:06 > 0:03:08See you in a minute.

0:03:09 > 0:03:11Hi!

0:03:11 > 0:03:13Hi.

0:03:13 > 0:03:15- I hope you don't mind my...- No.

0:03:15 > 0:03:19It takes a while to get used to it. Just check my look.

0:03:19 > 0:03:22- How are you?- Pretty good, pretty good. you know.

0:03:22 > 0:03:25I'm going to Thailand in a couple of weeks.

0:03:25 > 0:03:27Really? That's a long way.

0:03:27 > 0:03:32Yeah. Well, it's something I've been meaning to do for a long time.

0:03:33 > 0:03:35Anyway, happy birthday.

0:03:35 > 0:03:37Yeah, thanks.

0:03:37 > 0:03:39It's for Sal, somewhere.

0:03:41 > 0:03:43Happy birthday, Leo.

0:03:43 > 0:03:45Thanks.

0:03:45 > 0:03:48"Now I remember why I didn't want this."

0:03:49 > 0:03:52- Darren.- Hello, birthday boy.

0:03:52 > 0:03:56Listen, I asked the boys from downstairs and guess what?

0:03:56 > 0:03:59- It turns out they're brothers. - Hi.

0:04:00 > 0:04:06- I told you... I'll get him back in five minutes. - It was getting interesting.

0:04:06 > 0:04:10Darren. Darren, what were you thinking? This is all I need.

0:04:10 > 0:04:14I'm sorry, it's your birthday. I thought you might like it.

0:04:14 > 0:04:18There's absolutely no-one here that I want to see.

0:04:21 > 0:04:24Would you like me to send them all home?

0:04:25 > 0:04:29- It's too late for that now, isn't it?- Yes, it is.

0:04:29 > 0:04:31Have I done a bad thing?

0:04:35 > 0:04:38Come back to the party, little Leo.

0:04:39 > 0:04:42No. No. I'm going to stay here and watch telly.

0:04:44 > 0:04:46No-one will notice.

0:04:46 > 0:04:48SHOOTING ON TV

0:04:51 > 0:04:54I really thought you were making progress.

0:04:54 > 0:04:59I thought, "Marvellous. Leo's finally decided to live his life."

0:05:00 > 0:05:02Wrong again.

0:05:02 > 0:05:04Bye.

0:05:05 > 0:05:07Hm.

0:05:07 > 0:05:12"That's not fair. I WAS living my life. But things got very complicated."

0:05:35 > 0:05:37- OK, start with his age.- He's 35.

0:05:37 > 0:05:39Well preserved 37 at a pinch.

0:05:39 > 0:05:45- But gorgeous.- Wait for me. Can't a girl have a pee? It's a long ride from Heathrow.

0:05:45 > 0:05:46Here's your stuff.

0:05:46 > 0:05:49- Darren, bags, Leo cologne. - Thanks.

0:05:49 > 0:05:53- What have I missed? - Right, well, he's 35-ish.

0:05:53 > 0:05:55Um, we don't know if he's gorgeous.

0:05:55 > 0:05:59I'm not sure if gorgeous is the right word for him.

0:05:59 > 0:06:01He's more salty.

0:06:01 > 0:06:03I want to say rugged.

0:06:03 > 0:06:06Height? 6ft-ish.

0:06:06 > 0:06:08That's good. Job?

0:06:08 > 0:06:08Oh, yes.

0:06:08 > 0:06:10Morning, Jeremy.

0:06:10 > 0:06:12'He's an estate agent.'

0:06:12 > 0:06:14He's a what?

0:06:14 > 0:06:19- An estate agent. Sells houses. - Is this the guy who came round the other day?

0:06:19 > 0:06:21He might be.

0:06:21 > 0:06:23Mm. Lovely coffee.

0:06:26 > 0:06:29Jeremy Downey, Reynolds and Landon.

0:06:29 > 0:06:32Imagine him all neat and high class in his city suit.

0:06:32 > 0:06:35- Cuff links and brogues.- Sort of.

0:06:35 > 0:06:40And now, I want you to imagine all these seething animal passions

0:06:40 > 0:06:46just a fraction of an inch under the surface - about to erupt through the pie crust decorum.

0:06:46 > 0:06:50I'm afraid the place is in a mess from my grandchildren.

0:06:50 > 0:06:55- OK, I think we've got the picture. - Can we get to the smut, please.

0:06:55 > 0:06:57OK, getting there.

0:06:58 > 0:07:01What does an estate agent have access to?

0:07:01 > 0:07:04- Work it out. - Mm...

0:07:04 > 0:07:07- Photos of houses...- Plans... - Secretaries.

0:07:07 > 0:07:09- Pens...- Coffee mugs...

0:07:09 > 0:07:12I'll be needing these, of course.

0:07:12 > 0:07:13Oh?

0:07:13 > 0:07:17You can't expect me to sell the place without them.

0:07:17 > 0:07:18Darren, you slut.

0:07:18 > 0:07:22Well, how's he supposed to sell a house without them?

0:07:22 > 0:07:24I am switching estate agents.

0:07:24 > 0:07:26I don't blame you.

0:07:28 > 0:07:30Hello?

0:07:30 > 0:07:32Anyone home?

0:07:32 > 0:07:34Jeremy, we can't do this.

0:07:36 > 0:07:38No, this is all wrong.

0:07:39 > 0:07:41Hello?

0:07:44 > 0:07:46You sexy little thing.

0:07:52 > 0:07:54BELL RINGS

0:07:54 > 0:07:57No, no. I don't believe it. You're making this up.

0:07:57 > 0:07:59No, no, I'm not.

0:07:59 > 0:08:01Sit down, Leo. ..Go on, Darren.

0:08:01 > 0:08:03Hello?

0:08:06 > 0:08:08I can't go through with it.

0:08:08 > 0:08:10I'm going.

0:08:10 > 0:08:12Oh, no, you're not.

0:08:14 > 0:08:19I'm shocked. I'm sure you can go to prison for this sort of thing.

0:08:19 > 0:08:22- Leo, it's all right to be jealous. - I'm not.

0:08:23 > 0:08:25- Oh, yes, you are. - I am not jealous.

0:08:28 > 0:08:31If it's any consolation, I'm jealous, too.

0:08:31 > 0:08:35Listen to us. We're two attractive men in our prime.

0:08:35 > 0:08:39Why don't you and I ever hit the town together...?

0:08:39 > 0:08:43Because, Adam, we'd want to go to different places.

0:08:43 > 0:08:44Right.

0:08:45 > 0:08:48I just love women. Always have.

0:08:50 > 0:08:52It's the support you get.

0:08:52 > 0:08:57That's what I miss. I'm just crap at being single.

0:08:57 > 0:08:59Well, you've got your men's group.

0:08:59 > 0:09:01Put a sock in it.

0:09:01 > 0:09:05You've got your antlers to fall back on.

0:09:05 > 0:09:08You're gagging to come to my men's group.

0:09:08 > 0:09:10You're fascinated by it.

0:09:10 > 0:09:15All right, I'm fascinated. It's more at a wet dream level than wanting to join up.

0:09:15 > 0:09:20I envision you all ripping your clothes off and wrestling naked.

0:09:20 > 0:09:23We have never done that. Now you mention it,

0:09:23 > 0:09:27- it's not a bad idea. - That's exactly the kind of thing

0:09:27 > 0:09:31that would stop me from going. Wrestling naked.

0:09:31 > 0:09:33What if I got a hard-on?

0:09:33 > 0:09:36Well, it would add a whole new dynamic.

0:09:36 > 0:09:38It certainly would.

0:09:38 > 0:09:42Anyway, why be ashamed of what your body does?

0:09:42 > 0:09:45Also, the group could do with a bit of variety.

0:09:45 > 0:09:52You think my erections glow in the dark? That's how we find each other in parks at night?

0:09:52 > 0:09:54- Can I say one thing?- Yes.

0:09:54 > 0:09:56Good.

0:09:59 > 0:10:02I think it's an incredible time to be a guy.

0:10:02 > 0:10:09We have to get ready for the new century. We have to know who we are. I think you should come.

0:10:11 > 0:10:12No.

0:10:12 > 0:10:14BELL RINGS

0:10:17 > 0:10:19Hi.

0:10:25 > 0:10:28- Keith, this is Leo.- Hi. Pleased to meet you.

0:10:28 > 0:10:31- Hi.- Leo, this is Keith.

0:10:33 > 0:10:35Hi. Come on in.

0:10:43 > 0:10:48Sybil, I told you the men's group was going to use the Moroccan room.

0:10:48 > 0:10:49I cleared it with you.

0:10:49 > 0:10:56- So, you get the Moroccan room and the Tibetan singing bowl. - I booked the Tibetan singing bowl.

0:10:56 > 0:10:58I wasn't there when you did it.

0:10:58 > 0:11:03It never occurred to you my women's group might want the Moroccan room.

0:11:03 > 0:11:08We get the small little Inuit room. Because we're so small.

0:11:08 > 0:11:10Sybil, we'll talk about this later.

0:11:13 > 0:11:17I suppose you guys need that space for your gigantic penises.

0:11:17 > 0:11:19Correct.

0:11:23 > 0:11:26Everyone, this is Leo.

0:11:26 > 0:11:28Hi, hi.

0:11:29 > 0:11:31Leo, this is John.

0:11:31 > 0:11:33Pleased to meet you.

0:11:33 > 0:11:37Terry and Brendan who's Irish.

0:11:39 > 0:11:47So, Leo, we usually get new members to begin by telling us a history of yourself

0:11:47 > 0:11:53as a man. How do you feel about your maleness? Proud?

0:11:53 > 0:11:56Ashamed?

0:11:56 > 0:11:57Ambivalent?

0:11:57 > 0:11:58Er...

0:11:58 > 0:12:00Don't rush it.

0:12:00 > 0:12:02Just take your time.

0:12:04 > 0:12:09- We talked for hours and I told them all about my family and it was wonderful.- You amaze me.

0:12:09 > 0:12:14You talked about your emotional problems with a roomful of straight men?

0:12:14 > 0:12:21The experience of being male is common to gay and straight men. If you've got a dick, you're a man.

0:12:21 > 0:12:24- Isn't that right, Ange? - Tell me about it.

0:12:24 > 0:12:29- Make me something to eat and it's yours.- That's what we're talking about.

0:12:29 > 0:12:34- We're talking about maleness. - You didn't tell them you were gay, did you?

0:12:34 > 0:12:37Oh, God, you're such a separatist.

0:12:37 > 0:12:40He is. It's all bloody gay, gay, gay with him.

0:12:40 > 0:12:42Gay gym, gay restaurant...

0:12:42 > 0:12:45Gay life insurance. Don't forget that.

0:12:45 > 0:12:49I hope they're spunky, these straight men of yours.

0:12:49 > 0:12:53One's very nice, actually. And he's Irish.

0:12:53 > 0:12:59He's got this voice, it sort of washes over you like some dark powerful river.

0:12:59 > 0:13:03There's a good manly way of describing a man.

0:13:03 > 0:13:07Just ignore him. I think it sounds most therapeutic.

0:13:07 > 0:13:08Tell me more.

0:13:10 > 0:13:11Well, the good news is

0:13:11 > 0:13:15there are some signs of an upturn in the market.

0:13:15 > 0:13:20At least, there are signs that the rate at which it is falling is slowing down.

0:13:20 > 0:13:24That doesn't sound too hopeful. < I'll be frank with you,

0:13:24 > 0:13:28the fact that you're on a railway isn't going to help.

0:13:28 > 0:13:31I don't know. We rather like the trains.

0:13:31 > 0:13:35I appreciate the fact that YOU like the trains.

0:13:35 > 0:13:39But will your prospective purchaser?

0:13:39 > 0:13:41Here comes one now.

0:13:42 > 0:13:44TRAIN THUNDERS BY

0:13:53 > 0:13:56How will you sell this place with that racket?

0:13:56 > 0:13:58I can sell anything.

0:13:58 > 0:13:59Oh shit.

0:13:59 > 0:14:02What?

0:14:02 > 0:14:04Look at this.

0:14:04 > 0:14:06Made in Hong Kong.

0:14:06 > 0:14:08Most of them are.

0:14:15 > 0:14:17For fuck's sake.

0:14:17 > 0:14:19What's the matter? Vinyl.

0:14:19 > 0:14:24It's just a headboard. Don't stop now. I was just getting moist.

0:14:24 > 0:14:28That's textured bloody vinyl. This place is not right.

0:14:28 > 0:14:30This is British Home Stores.

0:14:30 > 0:14:32The decor doesn't bother me.

0:14:32 > 0:14:35This whole room... Look at this.

0:14:35 > 0:14:38She's lost her leg. KNOCKING

0:14:38 > 0:14:41What was that? Someone's at the door. Hide.

0:14:41 > 0:14:42Hide.

0:14:42 > 0:14:4830 per cent nylon. 70 per cent bleeding polyester. I'm getting out of here.

0:14:48 > 0:14:51I rather like a bit of polyester.

0:14:53 > 0:14:58Today, we're going to be passing around the honesty stone.

0:14:58 > 0:15:02- Oh, this is great. - This ritual comes from native American culture.

0:15:02 > 0:15:06The stone is passed round clockwise.

0:15:06 > 0:15:11If it's given to you, you have to speak with absolute honesty.

0:15:11 > 0:15:14about something which is on your mind.

0:15:14 > 0:15:17It's a liberating ritual. Don't think of it

0:15:17 > 0:15:21as a test. It's an opportunity.

0:15:21 > 0:15:24John, why don't you go first?

0:15:25 > 0:15:30I feel tense, you know...

0:15:30 > 0:15:32nervous.

0:15:32 > 0:15:34That's perfectly natural.

0:15:35 > 0:15:37Let the stone help you. Hold it.

0:15:39 > 0:15:41Hold it.

0:15:41 > 0:15:44Allow it to speak to you in its own way.

0:15:44 > 0:15:48Allow its energy to open the floodgates of your mind.

0:15:57 > 0:16:00I... I don't know what's wrong with me. I...

0:16:02 > 0:16:04I can't speak.

0:16:04 > 0:16:06Take your time.

0:16:08 > 0:16:11Er, I feel like there's this...

0:16:13 > 0:16:15blockage in my throat.

0:16:18 > 0:16:20G...

0:16:20 > 0:16:22Huuu..

0:16:22 > 0:16:25John, let it happen. He's spontaneously rebirthing.

0:16:25 > 0:16:31- Ugggh...- Terry, place your hand under John's leg in a supportive and loving way.

0:16:31 > 0:16:34I'm going really faint.

0:16:34 > 0:16:39No, you are not going to faint. It's just your ego trying to protect itself.

0:16:39 > 0:16:43The b-blockage just moved down to my stomach.

0:16:43 > 0:16:48Leo, place your hand on John's stomach in a supportive and loving way.

0:16:48 > 0:16:51My knees, oh God, the pain.

0:16:51 > 0:16:52Adam, his knees.

0:16:52 > 0:16:56Let it all go, John.

0:16:56 > 0:16:59Let these strong, loving men heal you.

0:16:59 > 0:17:01Jesus Christ, the rage...

0:17:01 > 0:17:05If you want to shout and scream, shout and scream!

0:17:05 > 0:17:07Oh, my feet, my feet!

0:17:07 > 0:17:09Great. It's in your feet!

0:17:09 > 0:17:15John, try to imagine all the pain draining out of your feet

0:17:15 > 0:17:20into the nurturing earth. Into the life-giving sea.

0:17:20 > 0:17:22Aaah!

0:17:22 > 0:17:24< Aaah!

0:17:25 > 0:17:32And now we focus on the wide Arctic silence.

0:17:32 > 0:17:34< Aaah!

0:17:35 > 0:17:37< John, let it all out.

0:17:37 > 0:17:40< Aaah!

0:17:40 > 0:17:41Aaah!

0:17:41 > 0:17:45There's a terrible banging noise in my head.

0:17:46 > 0:17:50There's a constant banging noise. Oh, God.

0:17:50 > 0:17:52Make it go away.

0:17:52 > 0:17:54It's my father.

0:17:54 > 0:17:56My father.

0:17:58 > 0:18:00My father beat me.

0:18:02 > 0:18:04It's OK, John. It's OK.

0:18:05 > 0:18:12It's only now in the company of this group of... of men

0:18:12 > 0:18:15that I can finally face my grief.

0:18:17 > 0:18:20Why? Why?

0:18:23 > 0:18:28He died and I couldn't speak to him and I had so many questions to ask.

0:18:29 > 0:18:31Thank you, John.

0:18:31 > 0:18:33But why?

0:18:33 > 0:18:35Well done. Well done.

0:18:35 > 0:18:37Yeah, nice one, John,

0:18:37 > 0:18:39That was so illuminating.

0:18:39 > 0:18:41That was great.

0:18:41 > 0:18:43Cheers.

0:18:45 > 0:18:48- Right.- Is it me, next?

0:18:48 > 0:18:49'Fraid so.

0:18:53 > 0:18:56That's a pretty touch act to follow.

0:18:56 > 0:18:58It wasn't an act.

0:18:58 > 0:18:59Sorry, I didn't...

0:19:03 > 0:19:05Don't feel inhibited, Leo.

0:19:05 > 0:19:10It's the honesty stone. All you have to do is to be honest.

0:19:13 > 0:19:16I find a member of the group attractive.

0:19:16 > 0:19:20Who?

0:19:20 > 0:19:22Brendan.

0:19:26 > 0:19:32- Can I pass the stone on, now? - Can you tell us a bit more about your feelings for Brendan?

0:19:32 > 0:19:36Is the attraction spiritual? Emotional?

0:19:36 > 0:19:39Or physical?

0:19:39 > 0:19:43I'm not going to start hyperventilating or anything, am I?

0:19:43 > 0:19:45- Not unless you need to.- No.

0:19:47 > 0:19:51OK, well, I suppose on a spiritual level,

0:19:51 > 0:19:57I probably do have some affinity with Brendan.

0:19:57 > 0:20:01However, if I'm going to be completely honest about it,

0:20:01 > 0:20:06I have to say that there's a lot of sexual attraction there, too.

0:20:06 > 0:20:08- Er...- Great.

0:20:08 > 0:20:12Great. Go on.

0:20:12 > 0:20:15- What, you want me to go into details?- It's OK, Leo.

0:20:15 > 0:20:17I can take it, you know.

0:20:17 > 0:20:22What exactly is it about Brendan that turns you on, Leo?

0:20:22 > 0:20:25- Is there a particular body part? - Well, um...

0:20:26 > 0:20:32I would say what we've got here is a pretty hot package, really?

0:20:32 > 0:20:34From head to toe and...

0:20:34 > 0:20:36If Brendan were

0:20:36 > 0:20:42batting with the same team as me, as it were, then, yeah, I'd ask him out.

0:20:42 > 0:20:45Come on, guys, don't make me feel like a freak,

0:20:45 > 0:20:50I'm sure I'm not the only one who's noticed Brendan is a handsome man.

0:20:54 > 0:20:55He's all right.

0:21:00 > 0:21:01Christ.

0:21:01 > 0:21:03Er, Brendan...

0:21:05 > 0:21:07I just wanted to say...

0:21:08 > 0:21:11I'm sorry if I embarrassed you, you know.

0:21:11 > 0:21:16- No.- I guess I just got caught up... - Fine, you didn't embarrass me.

0:21:16 > 0:21:18Well, I think I did.

0:21:18 > 0:21:23Well, you know, it was a bit of a bombshell, yeah but...

0:21:25 > 0:21:28But actually, you know, I felt kind of flattered.

0:21:34 > 0:21:36- What?- Nothing.

0:21:36 > 0:21:40What? What? Did I say the wrong thing, or what?

0:21:40 > 0:21:44I guess, that... You know, I guess it sounded a bit patronising.

0:21:44 > 0:21:46- Did it?- Yeah, it did a bit.

0:21:46 > 0:21:49Well, Christ, well, pardon me.

0:21:49 > 0:21:51- No offence meant, you know. - It's OK.

0:21:54 > 0:21:56I'll see you next week, yeah?

0:21:59 > 0:22:03Look, I'm sorry. Do you want to go for a quick pint or something?

0:22:03 > 0:22:08You know... you know... I've got an early start in the morning.

0:22:09 > 0:22:11- You know.- Yeah, yeah, I know.

0:22:12 > 0:22:15- Next week, yeah?- Yeah, all right, then.

0:22:15 > 0:22:21THUNDER ROLLS

0:22:51 > 0:22:53Oh!

0:23:08 > 0:23:10The Rough Guide to Ireland.

0:23:10 > 0:23:14"Never has Ireland been so readily accessible."

0:23:17 > 0:23:21"Margaret Thatcher put the C back in Conservatism." That's it.

0:23:31 > 0:23:33That was great.

0:23:41 > 0:23:43Jeremy? Yeah?

0:23:44 > 0:23:46I've been thinking.

0:23:46 > 0:23:48Oh, yeah, about...?

0:23:49 > 0:23:55Do you think our relationship has an over-emphasis on the physical side?

0:23:55 > 0:23:56How do you mean?

0:23:56 > 0:24:03I'm probably being silly. I just think sometimes it might be nice if we maybe went out, or something.

0:24:03 > 0:24:07You know, lunch at Soho. Shopping?

0:24:08 > 0:24:10Don't be so soft.

0:24:10 > 0:24:15Our world shouldn't revolve around other people's empty houses.

0:24:15 > 0:24:18I want to show you off, you know.

0:24:21 > 0:24:25It was just a thought. Probably not a very profound one.

0:24:40 > 0:24:41Hi.

0:24:41 > 0:24:44Hi. .. All right, Adam?

0:24:44 > 0:24:46- How are you?- I'll get you for this.

0:24:46 > 0:24:48Sure, you will.

0:24:49 > 0:24:52- Thank you for that.- Well,

0:24:52 > 0:24:54that was very interesting.

0:24:54 > 0:25:00- Did you see how many slices of ham he put in your sandwich? - The normal amount.

0:25:00 > 0:25:03- He gave you a great big extra slice.- He didn't.

0:25:03 > 0:25:05Let me see. Come on.

0:25:07 > 0:25:11- Two slices. How many slices have you got?- Two SMALL slices.

0:25:11 > 0:25:16You have a row of pickled gherkin. I don't have a row of pickled gherkin.

0:25:16 > 0:25:20- I suppose that means something. - Certainly. It does.

0:25:20 > 0:25:23We straight men have this system of codes.

0:25:23 > 0:25:27A row of pickled gherkin is pretty serious.

0:25:27 > 0:25:30PHONE RINGS

0:25:31 > 0:25:34Hello? Oh, hold on a sec.

0:25:36 > 0:25:38Leo, it's for you.

0:25:38 > 0:25:43- Who is it?- I'm not sure but his voice washed over me like a dark, powerful river.

0:25:43 > 0:25:45Hello?

0:25:45 > 0:25:47Hi, Leo?

0:25:47 > 0:25:50It's Brendan. From the group.

0:25:50 > 0:25:52Hi, hi.

0:25:52 > 0:25:55I wanted to say sorry for being rude the other night.

0:25:55 > 0:25:57Were you rude? I didn't notice.

0:25:57 > 0:26:02'Well, you know, I was unfriendly and I feel bad about that.

0:26:02 > 0:26:04'I guess I just...'

0:26:04 > 0:26:08I don't know, I guess I just misinterpreted your invitation.

0:26:08 > 0:26:12'But I was thinking, I shouldn't be stand-offish.'

0:26:12 > 0:26:14Right, yeah.

0:26:14 > 0:26:16Sorry, I just...

0:26:16 > 0:26:19(I'll do that. It's all right.)

0:26:19 > 0:26:21Oh, great.

0:26:23 > 0:26:28I was wondering... I know a pub where they have real Guinness.

0:26:28 > 0:26:33I'm free tonight, so if you're not doing anything, you might want to go out.

0:26:33 > 0:26:38Right, just a minute. I'll just check if I'm free.

0:26:38 > 0:26:41Darren, are we going anywhere tonight? (Say no.)

0:26:41 > 0:26:43No. Not unless

0:26:43 > 0:26:49- you want to go to that orgy...- Yeah, that'd be fine.- Yeah? Should I pick you up?

0:26:49 > 0:26:53- Pick me up.- What's the address? - Flat 5, 13 Old Street.

0:26:53 > 0:26:57Oh, yeah, I know. That's right off City Road, isn't it?

0:26:57 > 0:26:59What, eight-ish?

0:26:59 > 0:27:01OK, yeah, I'll see you then. Sure.

0:27:01 > 0:27:03Good, yeah, yeah, yeah.

0:27:03 > 0:27:05- Bye.- Ooooh!

0:27:07 > 0:27:11Eeeh, he-he.

0:27:11 > 0:27:16- You look sexy. Rub some compost on your face. Straight boys like that. - It's not a date.

0:27:16 > 0:27:19It's just a drink. Where are you going?

0:27:19 > 0:27:21I'm going to tell Ange.

0:27:23 > 0:27:25So, thanks for locking up.

0:27:27 > 0:27:30I like you in that jacket. You look all boyish.

0:27:30 > 0:27:32Thanks.

0:27:37 > 0:27:39I'll see you.

0:28:16 > 0:28:18THEY CHEER

0:28:24 > 0:28:26ECSTATIC GRUNTING

0:28:28 > 0:28:31OK, I'm trying to build a mental picture here.

0:28:31 > 0:28:34Did you have sex before or after table football.

0:28:34 > 0:28:38- Don't be naive, it was during. - We had a couple of pints.

0:28:38 > 0:28:42- Exchanged rings in a quiet ceremony. - No. We had a long chat

0:28:42 > 0:28:46- about his ex girlfriend. - He'll get over it.

0:28:48 > 0:28:53Look, we just want to be friends. Male bonding. Is that what they call it?

0:28:53 > 0:28:56- Do we have to watch this?- Yes, yes.

0:28:56 > 0:28:59MOANING This is for your benefit, actually.

0:28:59 > 0:29:01Think of it as a refresher course.

0:29:01 > 0:29:04That look familiar?

0:29:06 > 0:29:08- Does it?- Vaguely.- Good.

0:29:09 > 0:29:11You'll thank us later.

0:29:12 > 0:29:14Hello? Hi?

0:29:16 > 0:29:18Hello, Keith? It's Adam and Leo.

0:29:20 > 0:29:21Oh, hi.

0:29:21 > 0:29:26Hi, you guys, you're in the sauna tonight. They've already gone over.

0:29:26 > 0:29:28- It's this way.- Sauna?

0:29:28 > 0:29:30Yeah.

0:29:30 > 0:29:32What sauna?

0:29:32 > 0:29:34Sometimes we start with a sauna.

0:29:34 > 0:29:37- It's just relaxed. - Just a minute.

0:29:37 > 0:29:41- You expect ME to take my clothes off.- Leo, come on.

0:29:41 > 0:29:43I'm not taking my kit off.

0:29:43 > 0:29:46Well, I'm going to keep my pants on. OK?

0:29:46 > 0:29:48Yeah, if you want to.

0:29:58 > 0:30:00Well, who would have thought.

0:30:00 > 0:30:02Oh, God.

0:30:02 > 0:30:04< Get off.

0:30:04 > 0:30:06LEO THINKS Wonder how Leo's doing.

0:30:06 > 0:30:10Margaret Thatcher. In 1979

0:30:10 > 0:30:17Margaret Thatcher moves into 10 Downing Street after a Tory landslide.

0:30:18 > 0:30:21I want to share something with the group.

0:30:21 > 0:30:23ALL SPEAK Share with us.

0:30:27 > 0:30:31OK. Right. It all started when Leo

0:30:31 > 0:30:34was telling us about his feelings towards Brendan.

0:30:34 > 0:30:36I never heard anyone speak

0:30:36 > 0:30:41with such a refreshing directness about this particular taboo subject.

0:30:41 > 0:30:43< I didn't find it refreshing.

0:30:45 > 0:30:48This is the bit that's really hard to say.

0:30:52 > 0:30:54Yang, yang, yang...

0:30:54 > 0:30:58Terry, that's just a normal stone.

0:30:58 > 0:31:03John, would you pass Terry the harpoon, please?

0:31:03 > 0:31:05Sure.

0:31:09 > 0:31:14It's got a very different energy from the stone. Very male.

0:31:14 > 0:31:16Try.

0:31:23 > 0:31:26Yang. Yang. Yang.

0:31:26 > 0:31:29Yang. Yang.

0:31:29 > 0:31:33So, I went home and I...

0:31:33 > 0:31:35meditated deeply on...

0:31:35 > 0:31:37on my sexuality.

0:31:37 > 0:31:40You know?

0:31:40 > 0:31:44I really want to push myself to the very limits of discovery.

0:31:44 > 0:31:47After I meditated, I knew what to do.

0:31:52 > 0:31:53What?

0:31:53 > 0:31:57I went to a newsagents and bought a magazine.

0:31:57 > 0:32:01- Tell us about the magazine, Terry. - It was a pornographic one.

0:32:01 > 0:32:03Yes?

0:32:03 > 0:32:05With pictures of men.

0:32:05 > 0:32:08Jesus Christ!

0:32:08 > 0:32:10Terry, you're doing well.

0:32:10 > 0:32:12Let the harpoon help.

0:32:12 > 0:32:16Well, after I bought the magazine, I took it home and read it.

0:32:16 > 0:32:18I looked at the pictures and...

0:32:18 > 0:32:21I had a wank.

0:32:23 > 0:32:29And how do you...feel about that now?

0:32:30 > 0:32:32I feel great.

0:32:32 > 0:32:35I feel fucking great.

0:32:35 > 0:32:37I feel as if I'm discovering

0:32:37 > 0:32:39a part of...of me

0:32:39 > 0:32:42that I never accepted before.

0:32:42 > 0:32:46I see. And are you going to be taking this any further?

0:32:48 > 0:32:50What do you mean, John?

0:32:50 > 0:32:55I mean it's bad enough I've got one in the sauna. No offence, Leo

0:32:55 > 0:32:58but, well, I'm just beginning to get a tad

0:32:58 > 0:33:01< concerned here. Oh, don't worry about it.

0:33:01 > 0:33:06It would have to be with someone I found remotely attractive.

0:33:11 > 0:33:15Do you know what my theory is on men right now?

0:33:15 > 0:33:17Go on, tell us.

0:33:17 > 0:33:21I think men don't feel received by women.

0:33:21 > 0:33:25There's so much suspicion between the sexes.

0:33:25 > 0:33:29Yeah, cos we've made such a mess of it as men, haven't we?

0:33:29 > 0:33:32Of course, I'm a great Jungian, aren't you?

0:33:32 > 0:33:34Yeah, yeah.

0:33:34 > 0:33:38Or at least I was. Then I thought what is all this bullshit?

0:33:38 > 0:33:40Masculine, feminine...

0:33:40 > 0:33:43Excuse me. Terry, could I...have a word?

0:33:43 > 0:33:46Back in a sec.

0:33:47 > 0:33:49- I mean, it's bullshit.- Yeah...

0:33:49 > 0:33:53I'm sure, you, as a gay man, feel much the same.

0:33:53 > 0:33:54Oh, God, yeah...

0:33:54 > 0:33:59- Of course, Jung was a complete pig with woman.- He was, yeah...

0:33:59 > 0:34:02- I'm boring you.- No, not at all.

0:34:08 > 0:34:10They're talking about you.

0:34:10 > 0:34:15- Are they?- The good-looking guy seems very pissed off with your friend.

0:34:15 > 0:34:17< Just a minute. Wait a sec.

0:34:17 > 0:34:20< Something...something...

0:34:20 > 0:34:24Break your nose. I'll break your fucking nose, matey.

0:34:24 > 0:34:26I love that word, matey.

0:34:26 > 0:34:28Are you lip-reading?

0:34:28 > 0:34:31- I used to work with the deaf. - Well, that's useful.

0:34:31 > 0:34:35- He's coming over. - You don't do mind-reading?

0:34:35 > 0:34:39I used to. But, believe me, it's usually best not to know.

0:34:39 > 0:34:42- I'm leaving now.- OK. - Do you want to come?

0:34:44 > 0:34:47Don't just stand there. Go on, live a little.

0:34:49 > 0:34:51- Bye.- Bye.

0:34:51 > 0:34:56< What's that word when someone likes you but can't admit it? < Denial.

0:34:56 > 0:34:59Fellas. Chaps, don't forget. Friday.

0:34:59 > 0:35:021pm. Remember to bring your tents.

0:35:05 > 0:35:08What a very interesting group.

0:35:10 > 0:35:12Yes...

0:35:14 > 0:35:18My God. I thought that Terry was going to go on all night.

0:35:18 > 0:35:20What a wally, eh?

0:35:20 > 0:35:25Yeah, well, I guess it was important to him.

0:35:25 > 0:35:30Yes, yes, I know. But pushing himself to the limits of self-discovery indeed!

0:35:30 > 0:35:37- Never heard such bollocks in all my life. Next thing, he'll ask you out. - He can if he wants.

0:35:44 > 0:35:49So Brendan feels left out since Terry's found his homosexual side and he's not.

0:35:49 > 0:35:51I'm joining that group.

0:35:51 > 0:35:53Definitely. Wipe off my make-up.

0:35:53 > 0:35:57- Sock down your knickers. - False moustache.

0:35:59 > 0:36:00Three eights.

0:36:01 > 0:36:05Please play with me. She's cheating very much.

0:36:05 > 0:36:09- No, no. I'm going to bed. - Oh, night.- OK, night. - Night. >

0:36:09 > 0:36:11Come on, it's you. >

0:36:11 > 0:36:12One jack.

0:36:12 > 0:36:13Pathetic.

0:36:13 > 0:36:16Guys,

0:36:19 > 0:36:22what's the least sexy book you can think of?

0:36:22 > 0:36:24The least sexy book?

0:36:24 > 0:36:27What would you read last thing at night

0:36:27 > 0:36:32if you absolutely did not want to dream of sex with a gorgeous Irishman?

0:36:32 > 0:36:35Why not dream about sex with a gorgeous Irishman?

0:36:35 > 0:36:37The least sexy book is...

0:36:37 > 0:36:40Margaret Thatcher's biography.

0:36:40 > 0:36:42I've finished it.

0:36:42 > 0:36:44- Are you serious?- Yeah.

0:36:44 > 0:36:46Oh, I know. My bedside table.

0:36:46 > 0:36:49Read that book, you'll never think about sex.

0:37:01 > 0:37:04Oh, Mr Elton, it is too wildly vexing.

0:37:04 > 0:37:08Mother and I feel my brother will inherit Mansize Park

0:37:08 > 0:37:12and we shall have to live in West Kensington with one servant.

0:37:12 > 0:37:15Oh, how very vexing. But it is, I do declare.

0:37:15 > 0:37:19I need at least two servants to get me out of bed.

0:37:19 > 0:37:22Ah, tea. You will have a little dish, Mr Elton?

0:37:22 > 0:37:27Oh, please. I like a good caffeine rush before I write my Sunday sermon.

0:37:27 > 0:37:32Perhaps you should enter into a romantic alliance with that Mr Darcy?

0:37:32 > 0:37:37His endowments are the talk of Bedfordshire. But he is so proud, Mother.

0:37:37 > 0:37:41- And he eats dinner at six. - I- favour half past five.

0:37:41 > 0:37:43We could never marry.

0:37:43 > 0:37:45- ALL SPEAK Ah, Mr Darcy!- Ladies.

0:37:45 > 0:37:49You look a little flushed, Mr Darcy. Did you walk?

0:37:49 > 0:37:55Oh, no. I've been whipping the new stable boy. Thirsty work indeed, Miss Bennett.

0:37:55 > 0:37:58You, boy. Have you been whipped today?

0:37:58 > 0:38:01- Only once, my lord.- Only once?

0:38:01 > 0:38:05Servants must be whipped every hour. That is how they tell the time.

0:38:05 > 0:38:10Were it not for tea, we would be little more than savages.

0:38:10 > 0:38:15Indeed, madam. A dish of tea is a tremendous stiffener of the manly resolve.

0:38:15 > 0:38:17You.

0:38:17 > 0:38:19Meet me at the stables.

0:38:22 > 0:38:24Good day, ladies.

0:38:24 > 0:38:26Mr Darcy is somewhat haughty.

0:38:26 > 0:38:30But there can be no denying his penetration.

0:38:46 > 0:38:48- Hiya.- All right?

0:38:56 > 0:38:59Do you want some help with that?

0:39:00 > 0:39:05You need good firm ground for these tent pegs, eh? This is good.

0:39:06 > 0:39:13This afternoon, we shall be hunting and gathering for our evening meal.

0:39:13 > 0:39:15I've brought no food.

0:39:15 > 0:39:17So, if you can't find any...

0:39:17 > 0:39:20What do you mean, you've brought no food?

0:39:20 > 0:39:22I'm hyperglycaemic.

0:39:22 > 0:39:24I could die.

0:39:24 > 0:39:26You can handle that, John.

0:39:26 > 0:39:29Remember. You're a man.

0:39:31 > 0:39:33Who did this to you?

0:39:33 > 0:39:36Go on. Go on.

0:39:36 > 0:39:38What are you doing?

0:39:38 > 0:39:41Catch it, come on! Come on, get after it.

0:39:41 > 0:39:44Shit! What?

0:39:44 > 0:39:47This bush is alive, man. How am I going to get out?

0:39:47 > 0:39:50Just relax.

0:39:50 > 0:39:54Look, I'm bleeding. I'm bleeding. I could get tetanus.

0:39:54 > 0:39:56I'll have to go and get some help.

0:39:56 > 0:39:58Here.

0:39:58 > 0:40:00Have a berry. Piss off, Adam.

0:40:02 > 0:40:05Keith, Terry's stuck in a bush.

0:40:17 > 0:40:19Thank you, Keith.

0:40:23 > 0:40:25Guys, look what I've got.

0:40:25 > 0:40:28- God, what have you got? - A liquorice root.

0:40:28 > 0:40:34- No nutritional value but you suck it and it has a nice flavour. - Look, I'm going to die!

0:40:34 > 0:40:36Doesn't anyone care?

0:40:36 > 0:40:38My God, I feel dizzy.

0:40:38 > 0:40:41Help!

0:40:41 > 0:40:42TELEPHONE RINGS

0:40:42 > 0:40:44One Way Takeaway.

0:40:44 > 0:40:47- KEITH:- 'Hello. Can we have some king prawns, please?'

0:40:47 > 0:40:52- 'Six...' 'Prawns for...' - 'Two king...'

0:40:52 > 0:40:54Are you done with that?

0:40:58 > 0:41:01THEY SCREAM AND SHOUT

0:41:09 > 0:41:11Leo.

0:41:11 > 0:41:13It's me, Brendan. Can I come in?

0:41:13 > 0:41:15Yeah. Yeah, sure.

0:41:18 > 0:41:20- Hi.- Hi.

0:41:20 > 0:41:22It's a bit cramped.

0:41:27 > 0:41:29I brought you something.

0:41:29 > 0:41:31Don't tell the others, OK?

0:41:31 > 0:41:34- It's poteen.- Poteen, what's that?

0:41:34 > 0:41:36It's like a hooch, you know?

0:41:36 > 0:41:38You make it yourself.

0:41:38 > 0:41:41Go on, try some. It'll put hairs on your back.

0:41:41 > 0:41:45'All those stars. Makes you think.'

0:41:45 > 0:41:49We're so fucking...

0:41:49 > 0:41:52small.

0:41:52 > 0:41:55Like ants, really.

0:41:56 > 0:41:59We're just a bunch of fucking ants

0:41:59 > 0:42:03creeping about on the surface of this...

0:42:05 > 0:42:07..world.

0:42:09 > 0:42:11Eh, Terry?

0:42:12 > 0:42:15Sorry, John, I didn't hear a word.

0:42:17 > 0:42:19All those stars.

0:42:19 > 0:42:20Makes you think.

0:42:25 > 0:42:27God.

0:42:27 > 0:42:29The trauma...

0:42:29 > 0:42:31Wild...

0:42:35 > 0:42:37You know what?

0:42:37 > 0:42:41I think I could get quite into all this stuff.

0:42:41 > 0:42:43Mmm...

0:42:52 > 0:42:54RUSTLING

0:42:54 > 0:42:56What the hell was that?

0:42:56 > 0:42:58I don't know.

0:43:02 > 0:43:04- Jesus Christ!- Get it! Get it!

0:43:04 > 0:43:08- What the fucking hell is that? - You've got to get it!- You go.

0:43:08 > 0:43:11- You're on top of me, get it! - Go on, shoo!

0:43:11 > 0:43:13MUFFLED SHOUTING

0:43:23 > 0:43:25MUFFLED LAUGHTER

0:43:31 > 0:43:33Over to you.

0:43:33 > 0:43:36What do we feel this weekend?

0:43:36 > 0:43:38As men?

0:43:40 > 0:43:42Anyone?

0:43:43 > 0:43:45Don't be so British.

0:43:45 > 0:43:48You have to learn to share your feelings.

0:43:49 > 0:43:51Always share.

0:43:51 > 0:43:55I think Brendan's got something he wishes to share.

0:43:55 > 0:43:57Brendan?

0:43:57 > 0:44:00I don't know... I had a really great time.

0:44:00 > 0:44:04Yeah, but aren't you going to share it with us, Brendan?

0:44:04 > 0:44:08That was it, Terry. That was my sharing.

0:44:08 > 0:44:10No, no, Brendan. That was shit.

0:44:10 > 0:44:13You slept with Leo, didn't you?

0:44:13 > 0:44:15Did you enjoy that?

0:44:15 > 0:44:19- What's it to do with you?- Was he good? Did you let him fuck you?

0:44:19 > 0:44:24- Sounded like someone was being fucked. - How dare you, you little prick!

0:44:24 > 0:44:26- Come on, then.- Get off me!

0:44:27 > 0:44:29- Get off!- Leave them.

0:44:31 > 0:44:34That was the best Wild Man Weekend ever.

0:44:34 > 0:44:37Bloody noses. That's excellent.

0:44:37 > 0:44:41Terry, would you like to stop at a hospital to get it re-set?

0:44:41 > 0:44:43No, thanks. I'll do it myself.

0:44:43 > 0:44:45ADAM Go on. Hug each other.

0:44:45 > 0:44:49No. I'm not ready for that, Adam.

0:44:49 > 0:44:51Oh, incidentally, Leo and Brendan,

0:44:51 > 0:44:53I think it's really great

0:44:53 > 0:44:56that you two have got it together.

0:44:57 > 0:44:59Brendan, are you listening?

0:44:59 > 0:45:03If I could have one wish, it would be

0:45:03 > 0:45:06for you to be gay, but I don't think you are.

0:45:06 > 0:45:09And that's OK. OK?

0:45:13 > 0:45:15What's that supposed to mean?

0:45:15 > 0:45:18Have you changed your mind about me?

0:45:18 > 0:45:21No. No, that's not what I meant.

0:45:21 > 0:45:23What, then?

0:45:26 > 0:45:30How can you have been happily seeing women for the past...

0:45:32 > 0:45:34..the past 15 years or so

0:45:34 > 0:45:36and not be straight? Huh?

0:45:36 > 0:45:39I thought I was straight, OK?

0:45:41 > 0:45:46- What, then you meet me and you have this blinding revelation?- Yeah.

0:45:46 > 0:45:50OK, I don't look a certain way and we didn't meet in a bar.

0:45:50 > 0:45:54Or would you have preferred it if we had?

0:45:54 > 0:45:58- I think maybe you have one or two prejudices yourself.- Really?

0:46:00 > 0:46:02Let me ask YOU something.

0:46:03 > 0:46:07Have you ever had a relationship with a woman?

0:46:07 > 0:46:10- A very good question. - Thank you.- Piss off, John.

0:46:10 > 0:46:14Leo. Brendan may have a point.

0:46:14 > 0:46:17Maybe we should help you to explore it.

0:46:17 > 0:46:20I do think Keith is right, Leo.

0:46:20 > 0:46:23Do you?

0:46:24 > 0:46:27We're only trying to help you, Leo.

0:46:27 > 0:46:29Eh?

0:46:29 > 0:46:32- JOHN: It's nothing to be ashamed of. BRENDAN:- Come on, Leo.

0:46:32 > 0:46:34So was that a fair question to ask

0:46:34 > 0:46:40in front of a whole bus-load of hairy-chested drum-beating rough men?

0:46:42 > 0:46:45Well, he's probably just fascinated.

0:46:45 > 0:46:48Well, if he wants to be bisexual, that's fine.

0:46:48 > 0:46:51- Just don't drag me into it. - Oh, Leo, relax.

0:46:51 > 0:46:55You're quite right to choose men. Women are complicated.

0:46:55 > 0:46:59Men are kind of pathetic but at least you know where you are.

0:47:02 > 0:47:04Look.

0:47:04 > 0:47:06I'm an attractive woman.

0:47:06 > 0:47:09I'm standing here in my bra and panties.

0:47:09 > 0:47:14We're in my bedroom. Any straight guy would have jumped on me by now.

0:47:14 > 0:47:16Maybe I'm just polite.

0:47:18 > 0:47:20What are you doing?

0:47:20 > 0:47:22Feel anything?

0:47:22 > 0:47:24No.

0:47:24 > 0:47:26How about that? THEY LAUGH

0:47:26 > 0:47:29- Get off, that makes it worse!- Good.

0:47:29 > 0:47:33Oh, Leo, I love you the way you are. I don't want you to change.

0:47:33 > 0:47:36You're like my spy in the enemy camp.

0:47:36 > 0:47:40You can tell me all those little weird male secrets.

0:47:42 > 0:47:44I think I should just shut up.

0:47:44 > 0:47:49Far too much drumming has released some sort of wild man.

0:47:49 > 0:47:51OK. OK.

0:47:51 > 0:47:53Let me ask you one question.

0:47:53 > 0:48:00If this Brendan were to turn up on your doorstep intent on making passionate love to you,

0:48:00 > 0:48:03would that wild man be heterosexual?

0:48:03 > 0:48:05BOTH SPEAK Ummm...

0:48:05 > 0:48:07No.

0:48:53 > 0:48:55- Morning, Darren.- Good morning.

0:48:56 > 0:49:01You know, I just had the most amazingly vivid dream.

0:49:01 > 0:49:04No, it wasn't a dream. He's just made breakfast.

0:49:04 > 0:49:06There you go.

0:49:06 > 0:49:09- Darren.- Thank you.

0:49:09 > 0:49:11Bon appetit, gentlemen.

0:49:11 > 0:49:13Darren, could I...?

0:49:13 > 0:49:15- Yeah, yeah, yeah.- Thanks.

0:49:26 > 0:49:30What else do you want? He's gorgeous and he made breakfast.

0:49:30 > 0:49:32I mean, the man is on the rebound.

0:49:32 > 0:49:34From women in general.

0:49:34 > 0:49:37He wants me because I'm not a woman.

0:49:37 > 0:49:42- Seems a good reason to want someone. - But it's a negative reason. He wants me

0:49:42 > 0:49:45for what I'm not. Not for what I am.

0:49:47 > 0:49:49Any good in bed?

0:49:49 > 0:49:53- Well, yeah, yeah, he was, but... - Well, then, keep him.

0:49:53 > 0:49:59- Darren, you know what my biggest nightmare is.- Falling in love with a straight man.- Yes.

0:49:59 > 0:50:01Leo, all relationships end.

0:50:01 > 0:50:04You either split up or one of you dies.

0:50:04 > 0:50:06So why not enjoy it?

0:50:06 > 0:50:10You've got a nice bit of crumpet. Make the most of it.

0:50:10 > 0:50:13Darren, why do I have such a complicated

0:50:13 > 0:50:17- sex life?- Because you give out complicated vibrations.

0:50:17 > 0:50:21Simplify your vibrations. Your sex life simplifies itself.

0:50:21 > 0:50:23That's very wise.

0:50:23 > 0:50:28Honestly, Leo, you know your trouble. You always want guarantees.

0:50:28 > 0:50:32- Doesn't everyone? - No. No, they don't.

0:50:32 > 0:50:38So you let the first guy you slept with in ages leave without knowing when you'll see him again.

0:50:48 > 0:50:51- Hi.- I just wanted to give you this.

0:50:54 > 0:50:57- Your number?- Yeah.

0:50:58 > 0:51:00I called you, remember?

0:51:02 > 0:51:04Yes.

0:51:04 > 0:51:06Well, do you want mine?

0:51:06 > 0:51:08Yeah, yeah...

0:51:10 > 0:51:12Have you got a...pen?

0:51:14 > 0:51:16- Oh. Thanks.- Thanks.

0:51:16 > 0:51:18Here, give us your hand.

0:51:25 > 0:51:27- Thanks for the pen.- Cheers.

0:51:28 > 0:51:31- See you.- See you.

0:51:31 > 0:51:32I'll call you.

0:51:32 > 0:51:38I particularly liked the way it managed to be gently ironic

0:51:38 > 0:51:42without descending into an out-and-out cynicism. You?

0:51:42 > 0:51:44I'm not so sure. You know.

0:51:44 > 0:51:50I mean, satire is one thing and pastiche quite another. I thought it was pastiche.

0:51:50 > 0:51:54- I thought it was more lampoon than pastiche.- What? Surely? What?

0:51:54 > 0:51:58Lampoon IS satire, Brendan. They're the same thing.

0:51:58 > 0:52:03Pope is lampoon, Swift is satire. Quite a different thing.

0:52:06 > 0:52:08You're such a clever boy.

0:52:08 > 0:52:11Come on, bed.

0:52:11 > 0:52:13Yes, I'm kind of sleepy, you know.

0:52:13 > 0:52:15- All right?- All right.

0:52:15 > 0:52:17- Who was that?- I don't know.

0:52:18 > 0:52:21Anyway, bed. Come on. In your pyjamas.

0:52:21 > 0:52:23- BRENDAN LAUGHS - Get in here.

0:52:33 > 0:52:37- You don't really envy straight people like that, do you?- Yes.

0:52:37 > 0:52:39Yeah, sometimes.

0:52:41 > 0:52:43You know,

0:52:43 > 0:52:47a lot of straight couples stay together for the wrong reasons.

0:52:49 > 0:52:51Kids...

0:52:51 > 0:52:53Mortgage...

0:52:55 > 0:52:58- It all turns into a trap.- Yeah.

0:53:01 > 0:53:04Maybe they're lucky to be tied together like that.

0:53:06 > 0:53:10I mean, when you're gay,

0:53:11 > 0:53:18you don't always have those things so it's easier just to give up and not see it through.

0:53:18 > 0:53:21Well, maybe we're not made for it, eh?

0:53:23 > 0:53:25Not made for what?

0:53:25 > 0:53:27Monogamy.

0:53:32 > 0:53:34PHONE RINGS

0:53:36 > 0:53:37Hello.

0:53:37 > 0:53:39Hi, is Brendan there, please?

0:53:39 > 0:53:43Um...no, he's a bit busy right now.

0:53:43 > 0:53:46'Can I take a message?' No. No message.

0:53:46 > 0:53:48OK. Bye.

0:53:48 > 0:53:51It wasn't for you. It was for Leo's boyfriend.

0:53:51 > 0:53:52Back.

0:53:52 > 0:53:54Leo,

0:53:55 > 0:53:59I've just come out of a long relationship.

0:54:01 > 0:54:05The last thing I want to do right now is start another one.

0:54:08 > 0:54:10So what's this?

0:54:14 > 0:54:17Well, I don't know what this is.

0:54:34 > 0:54:38My husband's a bit of a DIY fanatic. Aren't you, Desmond?

0:54:38 > 0:54:42No expense spared. You know, as my Auntie Maureen always says,

0:54:42 > 0:54:45"You buy cheap, you buy twice."

0:54:45 > 0:54:48Yes. I think we have to

0:54:48 > 0:54:52pass on this property. Oh, why ever's that?

0:54:52 > 0:54:56It's not the sort of property that we're good at selling.

0:54:56 > 0:54:59< Oh, that's a disappointment.

0:54:59 > 0:55:02My word. That is rather a lovely table.

0:55:02 > 0:55:04< My husband made it.

0:55:06 > 0:55:11It's adjustable. And you can make it any height you want.

0:55:11 > 0:55:16Yes. So it's useful for a variety of purposes.

0:55:17 > 0:55:20I'll have to check with the office

0:55:20 > 0:55:25but I think we might be able to squeeze you onto our list. Oh, I say.

0:55:28 > 0:55:30200 Marlboro. Lights. >

0:55:30 > 0:55:34- Not the 100s.- And one small atomiser of Givenchy Gentleman.

0:55:34 > 0:55:36OK, OK.

0:55:36 > 0:55:39- BUZZER SOUNDS Shall I get it?- Yeah, thanks.

0:55:39 > 0:55:44- Is it about the flat?- No, it's the fashion police coming to get you.

0:55:44 > 0:55:48- Well, you'd better get it, cos I don't want to get arrested.- OK.

0:55:48 > 0:55:50I'm really sorry to bother you.

0:55:50 > 0:55:54- My name's Sally. It must seem very... - Sally...?

0:55:54 > 0:55:56It's me.

0:55:56 > 0:55:58- It's Leo.- Oh, my God.

0:56:00 > 0:56:02Oh, my God!

0:56:06 > 0:56:08- You look great.- It's so weird.

0:56:08 > 0:56:10This is Sally.

0:56:10 > 0:56:13She was my teenage sweetheart.

0:56:13 > 0:56:15- Can you believe that?- No.

0:56:15 > 0:56:19- This is Darren, he's my lovely flatmate. This is Ange.- Hi.

0:56:19 > 0:56:24- Can't stop, I have a flight to catch. Really nice to meet you. Bye.- Bye.

0:56:24 > 0:56:26Right. This is it.

0:56:26 > 0:56:28This is beautiful.

0:56:28 > 0:56:30Come on, I'll show you around.

0:56:30 > 0:56:33This is the dining room...

0:56:33 > 0:56:36Shops just round the corner. It's fine really.

0:56:36 > 0:56:39Leo, I didn't come about the flat.

0:56:39 > 0:56:41I came because that woman,

0:56:41 > 0:56:43Angie,

0:56:43 > 0:56:45she's seeing my boyfriend.

0:56:46 > 0:56:49- Angie!- No, it's OK, Leo.

0:56:49 > 0:56:51I'm dealing with it. OK, shove up.

0:56:51 > 0:56:55Let's get to the bottom of this. We know her type.

0:56:55 > 0:57:02- So describe your boyfriend and we'll tell you if she's bonking him. - Darren!- I'm trying to help.

0:57:03 > 0:57:06- Is he tall or short? - Tall.

0:57:06 > 0:57:08- Dark or blond? - Dark.

0:57:08 > 0:57:12Mmm. English or foreign?

0:57:12 > 0:57:13Irish.

0:57:13 > 0:57:18- Sounds a bit ominous. Likes an accent, Ange.- Still doesn't sound

0:57:18 > 0:57:20- like her.- Here's the decider.

0:57:20 > 0:57:23Is he smooth or hairy?

0:57:25 > 0:57:28- Pretty hairy. Definitely not. - No.

0:57:28 > 0:57:34- You don't think so? - No, it's highly unlikely. So what's his name? What does he do?

0:57:34 > 0:57:36His name is Brendan. We run a cafe.

0:57:36 > 0:57:42Brendan? Not Brendan with the dark eyes and permanent five o'clock shadow?

0:57:42 > 0:57:44Yes.

0:57:44 > 0:57:47I know him!

0:57:47 > 0:57:50- You do? - Yes. He comes to my men's group.

0:57:50 > 0:57:51Your men's group?

0:57:51 > 0:57:57Leo's very sniffy about it. Makes me keep my tribal drums under the stairs. He's very closed.

0:57:57 > 0:57:59Isn't that in Chiswick?

0:57:59 > 0:58:03No, that's where our hot tub nights are. He's my star pupil.

0:58:03 > 0:58:09He's come on in leaps and bounds. Opened up like a flower. Last week he shared THE most

0:58:09 > 0:58:13lurid masturbation fantasy I've ever heard.

0:58:13 > 0:58:16Will you tell him I want my wolf pelt back?

0:58:25 > 0:58:27Thank you for doing this.

0:58:29 > 0:58:32I don't think I could have done it on my own.

0:58:32 > 0:58:36I know they're just things but psychologically...

0:58:41 > 0:58:48- I should have packed up Brendan's things long ago but it's hard to do it on your own.- Sally...

0:58:49 > 0:58:51Look.

0:58:51 > 0:58:55If I'd done something bad, unintentionally,

0:58:55 > 0:58:57would you forgive me?

0:58:57 > 0:59:00What sort of bad?

0:59:00 > 0:59:02Well...

0:59:02 > 0:59:06Well, say, you were...going to buy a house, right?

0:59:06 > 0:59:11And I sort of gazumped you without knowing it was you

0:59:11 > 0:59:15and then you found out that it was me...

0:59:17 > 0:59:19That would be OK.

0:59:19 > 0:59:22Yeah?

0:59:23 > 0:59:25- Yeah.- OK.

0:59:25 > 0:59:28'You mean to tell me,'

0:59:28 > 0:59:32you stood there in my room, in my house,

0:59:32 > 0:59:35packing up MY things?

0:59:35 > 0:59:38Yeah. I'm sorry, OK?

0:59:39 > 0:59:43- But she asked me, she just wanted support.- Great!

0:59:44 > 0:59:48Can you just for a second imagine how I feel about this?

0:59:48 > 0:59:54You're not the only one in shock. She's one of my oldest friends and I ruined her life.

0:59:54 > 0:59:56Hold on.

0:59:56 > 0:59:59Our splitting-up has got nothing to do with you.

0:59:59 > 1:00:02Yeah, and she says it's a trial separation,

1:00:02 > 1:00:05and you say you've split up. Which is it?

1:00:05 > 1:00:07It is the same thing.

1:00:07 > 1:00:08No, it's not.

1:00:08 > 1:00:12One means you may get back together, the other doesn't.

1:00:12 > 1:00:14It's got nothing to do with you,

1:00:14 > 1:00:16anyway.

1:00:16 > 1:00:21No, it's just a difference between you being available and not available.

1:00:21 > 1:00:23Oh, for God's sake! Leo...

1:00:23 > 1:00:26I know all about love and commitment.

1:00:26 > 1:00:28I was with Sal for seven years,

1:00:28 > 1:00:33- which is a sight longer than you were with whatshisname. - Don't!

1:00:35 > 1:00:37OK, fine.

1:00:40 > 1:00:42Just...

1:00:43 > 1:00:46Just don't tell me I don't know about commitment.

1:00:46 > 1:00:49OK.

1:00:51 > 1:00:58- Oh, God, why did you have to do this?- What?- Spoil everything, with all this...thinking you do.

1:00:59 > 1:01:02Because, Brendan, that's who I am. I can't help it.

1:01:05 > 1:01:08I just want the whole deal.

1:01:13 > 1:01:18You know, I think you're coping with all this really well.

1:01:18 > 1:01:21I'm completely falling apart, actually,

1:01:21 > 1:01:23but what can you do?

1:01:24 > 1:01:27- It's a break-up. They're hard. - They are.

1:01:27 > 1:01:30- So what about you?- What about me?

1:01:30 > 1:01:32Are you seeing anyone?

1:01:33 > 1:01:36Probably... probably not for very long.

1:01:37 > 1:01:39Interesting? Handsome?

1:01:39 > 1:01:41Yeah.

1:01:41 > 1:01:45Smooth or hairy?

1:01:45 > 1:01:48Sally, I can't talk about this just now.

1:01:48 > 1:01:50- Oh, no!- What? - No, that's not fair.

1:01:50 > 1:01:52I dished it.

1:01:52 > 1:01:55- Well, you know, it's all a bit... - What?

1:01:55 > 1:01:58Well, there've been a few developments...

1:01:58 > 1:02:04Oh, Leo, you can talk to me, have a good old cry, order a pizza, knock back some beers,

1:02:04 > 1:02:06- hire a hooker.- A hooker?! - Do us both.

1:02:06 > 1:02:08You're a tart.

1:02:08 > 1:02:12- Wash your mouth out.- Party pooper. Oh, look.

1:02:12 > 1:02:13Interest rates.

1:02:13 > 1:02:15- Morning. - Loft extensions...

1:02:15 > 1:02:17Darling, how do you feel

1:02:17 > 1:02:18about double glazing?

1:02:18 > 1:02:23I feel we're going to have to mortgage the children, darling.

1:02:23 > 1:02:25- What do you think? - THEY BOTH LAUGH

1:02:26 > 1:02:29Bye!

1:02:29 > 1:02:30HE LAUGHS

1:02:30 > 1:02:33- He fancied you rotten!- Oh, no. - Yes, he did.

1:02:33 > 1:02:36- No, he fancied you. - Me? No, he didn't!

1:02:36 > 1:02:40He wanted to bend you over the table and have his way with you.

1:02:42 > 1:02:45It's quite early. Why not come back for a glass of wine?

1:02:45 > 1:02:48- Oh, no. I'd better not. - I'll go ask the waiter.

1:02:48 > 1:02:52- No. Hey, come here. I'll come back with you.- Will you?- Mm.

1:02:52 > 1:02:54Oh, Good.

1:02:54 > 1:02:59Don't worry. If you miss the last tube I'll pour you in a cab.

1:02:59 > 1:03:01PASSIONATE MOANING

1:03:01 > 1:03:03Oh! Oh!

1:03:03 > 1:03:05Oh!

1:03:05 > 1:03:07- KEITH:- You millionaire!

1:03:07 > 1:03:10I've been there and back. What about you?

1:03:10 > 1:03:12Home stretch!

1:03:12 > 1:03:14- DOORBELL RINGS - Damn!

1:03:14 > 1:03:16They're early!

1:03:16 > 1:03:19GIGGLING

1:03:20 > 1:03:24The sacrifices we make for the evolution of the species.

1:03:28 > 1:03:30- All right. - I love being a woman.

1:03:31 > 1:03:34Not because of you, because of me.

1:03:36 > 1:03:40'That was one of the most incredible experiences I've had,'

1:03:40 > 1:03:42to be completely passive,

1:03:44 > 1:03:48to give myself wholeheartedly to another person, to...

1:03:48 > 1:03:52to let go of all social conditioning and prejudice.

1:03:54 > 1:04:00In fact, I don't think I've ever felt so close to another human being in my entire life.

1:04:00 > 1:04:02Wow.

1:04:04 > 1:04:06You know, in a funny way,

1:04:06 > 1:04:09the experience has taught me something about women, too.

1:04:09 > 1:04:11I know that may sound absurd

1:04:11 > 1:04:15but...I feel closer to women in a way now.

1:04:16 > 1:04:18Am I making any sense?

1:04:18 > 1:04:21You're making a whole lot of sense.

1:04:21 > 1:04:23- Remember? - How do you remember that?

1:04:23 > 1:04:25Do you not?

1:04:31 > 1:04:33You're lovely, you know that?

1:04:35 > 1:04:37Are you flirting with me?

1:04:39 > 1:04:42I'm not sure. Am I?

1:04:42 > 1:04:44I don't know.

1:04:44 > 1:04:47But it makes me feel a lot better.

1:04:47 > 1:04:49That's good.

1:04:51 > 1:04:54I remember something else you said later on.

1:04:54 > 1:04:56Mmm?

1:04:56 > 1:05:00You said the chemistry is not right. Do you remember that?

1:05:00 > 1:05:02Mm-hmm.

1:05:02 > 1:05:05It always...

1:05:05 > 1:05:07struck me as strange, because...

1:05:07 > 1:05:11although we we were incompatible in certain...

1:05:13 > 1:05:15very important ways...

1:05:15 > 1:05:20- I always thought the one thing we had was...- was chemistry.

1:05:22 > 1:05:24So, why did you say that?

1:05:28 > 1:05:30I don't know.

1:05:30 > 1:05:33I mean, I thought, if we...

1:05:35 > 1:05:36went the whole hog,

1:05:36 > 1:05:40then, you know, we'd be in love and I'd still be queer...

1:05:41 > 1:05:44You know? That would have been...

1:05:44 > 1:05:46What?

1:05:46 > 1:05:48Well, dishonest.

1:05:49 > 1:05:51Dishonest?

1:05:53 > 1:05:57- I so wish you'd been my first time with a man.- I wish you'd been

1:05:57 > 1:05:59MY first time with a man!

1:05:59 > 1:06:01SHE LAUGHS

1:06:01 > 1:06:03- You know who was?- No. Who?

1:06:06 > 1:06:08- Come on.- Michael Weeks.

1:06:08 > 1:06:10Michael Weeks?

1:06:10 > 1:06:13- MY first time was with Michael Weeks!- No!- No.

1:06:13 > 1:06:16Oh, God!

1:06:16 > 1:06:18You didn't leave me with...

1:06:18 > 1:06:20- a lot of options.- No.

1:06:24 > 1:06:26I was just scared.

1:06:26 > 1:06:28Yeah.

1:06:31 > 1:06:33- Sally?- Mmm.

1:06:33 > 1:06:38Would you be really shocked if I said I'd like to kiss you?

1:06:42 > 1:06:44Yeah.

1:06:44 > 1:06:47So keep your filthy homosexual hands off me.

1:06:53 > 1:06:55Come on, then.

1:06:55 > 1:06:57- Can I ask a question?- Yeah.

1:06:57 > 1:06:59Erm,

1:06:59 > 1:07:01does it hurt?

1:07:01 > 1:07:05Well, yeah. It felt a bit funny at first, you know,

1:07:05 > 1:07:07but after a bit you loosen up

1:07:07 > 1:07:12and then you get to like it, and before you know where you are you...

1:07:12 > 1:07:14can't get enough of it.

1:07:14 > 1:07:15Excellent.

1:07:17 > 1:07:20- 'Well, where is he? - Leo? No idea. I don't know.'

1:07:29 > 1:07:32- Can I say something? - Yes, of course.

1:07:33 > 1:07:38It's not about homosexuality, so maybe you won't be interested.

1:07:38 > 1:07:41- Of course we are. - You're safe here. You're loved.

1:07:41 > 1:07:43Yeah, but that is just it.

1:07:43 > 1:07:46I don't want to be loved, not by by MEN.

1:07:46 > 1:07:48All right.

1:07:48 > 1:07:50All right.

1:07:50 > 1:07:53Would you like to be...liked?

1:07:57 > 1:07:59I think what I'd really like now

1:07:59 > 1:08:01is just...

1:08:01 > 1:08:02to leave.

1:08:02 > 1:08:04- Now, you know... - Get...

1:08:07 > 1:08:10I think it will make me feel a lot better.

1:08:20 > 1:08:22I'll see myself out.

1:08:22 > 1:08:24Interesting choice.

1:08:26 > 1:08:28I'm sorry. I can't...

1:08:34 > 1:08:36I can't do it.

1:08:36 > 1:08:38- I'm sorry.- What?

1:08:38 > 1:08:40Is this all my fault?

1:08:40 > 1:08:42I don't know. I don't know.

1:08:45 > 1:08:47Look...

1:08:47 > 1:08:48I'm sorry. OK?

1:08:48 > 1:08:51Leo, you're an adult. You can do as you please.

1:08:51 > 1:08:53Sally, I know that.

1:08:55 > 1:08:58Look, I'm sorry, OK?

1:08:58 > 1:09:01I'll... I'll call you, OK?

1:09:12 > 1:09:16You cook it for 20 minutes and it turns into spaghetti.

1:09:16 > 1:09:17Oh, pull the other one!

1:09:17 > 1:09:20It turns into bloody spaghetti!

1:09:20 > 1:09:22Leo, please. Back me up on this.

1:09:24 > 1:09:26Guys, look, I was wondering...

1:09:26 > 1:09:28What, Leo?

1:09:29 > 1:09:32If I kissed a woman, you know, properly,

1:09:32 > 1:09:35- would that make me a hetty? - Don't be absurd.

1:09:35 > 1:09:37- Absolutely not, no.- Oh, good.

1:09:37 > 1:09:40Not unless it gave you an erection.

1:09:40 > 1:09:42Oh, my God.

1:09:42 > 1:09:45- What?! - That woman. That blonde hussy!

1:09:45 > 1:09:47- What did she do to you? - She is not a hussy.

1:09:47 > 1:09:49We'll be the judge of that.

1:09:49 > 1:09:56It's all our fault. I knew we shouldn't have let him get in touch with his masculine side.

1:09:56 > 1:09:57Leo,

1:09:57 > 1:10:00you are a HOMOsexual!

1:10:00 > 1:10:01Yes. MOBILE RINGS

1:10:01 > 1:10:03Expect this'll be the sex police.

1:10:03 > 1:10:06Leo,

1:10:06 > 1:10:08you are a strawberry blonde.

1:10:08 > 1:10:11You can't go out with an ash blonde. It's not right.

1:10:11 > 1:10:13I'll deal with you later.

1:10:13 > 1:10:16Neither of you leave the house till I get back.

1:10:18 > 1:10:20That's how I like you.

1:10:20 > 1:10:23Don't you think the decor's a bit dodgy?

1:10:23 > 1:10:25Oh, bugger the decor.

1:10:25 > 1:10:27As long as it does it for you.

1:10:28 > 1:10:30Now you're completely in my power.

1:10:30 > 1:10:35Gosh, Jeremy, you could do anything to me. What are you going to do?

1:10:35 > 1:10:37I'd be completely unable to escape.

1:10:37 > 1:10:40Do you know what? I haven't decided yet.

1:10:40 > 1:10:42But there's one thing I do know.

1:10:42 > 1:10:44And what's that?

1:10:45 > 1:10:48I want you stark, bollock naked.

1:10:48 > 1:10:49Oh, my goodness me.

1:10:49 > 1:10:51Oh, not my Calvins!

1:10:51 > 1:10:55Oh, stop squealing, you little tart. Want the neighbours to hear?

1:10:57 > 1:10:59I feel completely exposed.

1:10:59 > 1:11:01That's what I like to see.

1:11:03 > 1:11:06Now, what if I was to...

1:11:06 > 1:11:09tweak your nipple just a little bit?

1:11:11 > 1:11:12Ow. HE GROWLS

1:11:12 > 1:11:16You like that, don't you? Do you want me to do it a bit harder?

1:11:16 > 1:11:18Oh, have mercy.

1:11:18 > 1:11:20< You don't deserve mercy.

1:11:24 > 1:11:27I hope you'll be gentle. You know how huge you are.

1:11:30 > 1:11:31Am I huge?

1:11:31 > 1:11:33Yes, you're huge.

1:11:34 > 1:11:36- Say it. - I just did.

1:11:36 > 1:11:38- Say it again. - You're huge.

1:11:38 > 1:11:40And again. You're...

1:11:40 > 1:11:42CLUNK What was that?

1:11:46 > 1:11:48Stay here.

1:11:48 > 1:11:49OK.

1:11:55 > 1:11:57Someone's here. You're not serious!

1:11:57 > 1:11:59I thought they'd gone away!

1:11:59 > 1:12:01She said she was going to.

1:12:01 > 1:12:03Well, get me out of these fucking cuffs!

1:12:05 > 1:12:07Can't find the fucking key!

1:12:09 > 1:12:10Excuse me.

1:12:13 > 1:12:15Jeremy!

1:12:15 > 1:12:17Jeremy!

1:12:20 > 1:12:22Who the hell are you?

1:12:22 > 1:12:26# Oh, happy birthday, dear Geraldine!

1:12:26 > 1:12:29# Congratulations, you're seventeen. #

1:12:29 > 1:12:32I'm not Geraldine and it's not my birthday.

1:12:32 > 1:12:34Isn't it?

1:12:34 > 1:12:36But this is 25 Sheldrake Avenue?

1:12:38 > 1:12:40No. This is 23 Sheldrake Avenue.

1:12:40 > 1:12:43Oh, God! How appallingly embarrassing.

1:12:43 > 1:12:46I'm an S-and-M-ogram

1:12:46 > 1:12:49and I've obviously got the wrong house. No!

1:12:52 > 1:12:54Don't I know you?

1:12:54 > 1:12:56< I hope not.

1:12:57 > 1:12:59Aaargh!

1:12:59 > 1:13:02It wasn't my idea. I'm going out with a sex maniac.

1:13:02 > 1:13:05It could happen to any of us.

1:13:18 > 1:13:19ANGELA OVER INTERCOM: 'Hello?'

1:13:19 > 1:13:22Ang, it's me. You've got to come down.

1:13:22 > 1:13:24'Oh...'

1:13:30 > 1:13:33What's the matter with you? Where are your keys?

1:13:33 > 1:13:36I don't know. Something terrible's happened.

1:13:36 > 1:13:39Oh, not now. I'm making lasagne.

1:13:39 > 1:13:43Don't abandon me in my hour of need! We've got to go and see Leo.

1:13:43 > 1:13:46What difference will it make if I'm there?

1:13:46 > 1:13:47He won't kill me.

1:13:47 > 1:13:49God! All right.

1:13:49 > 1:13:52I'll have to go and change. Embarrassing.

1:13:52 > 1:13:54OK, I'll wait here.

1:13:55 > 1:13:57I can't go in. I can't face him.

1:13:59 > 1:14:01- Hi.- Hi.

1:14:03 > 1:14:06Ang has got something to tell you.

1:14:06 > 1:14:08Dan has something to tell you.

1:14:08 > 1:14:09Leo...

1:14:09 > 1:14:11- Who's that? - Who, Adam?

1:14:11 > 1:14:13He's sex on legs.

1:14:13 > 1:14:14Leo, let's talk.

1:14:14 > 1:14:18Now, go easy on him. It could have happened to any of us.

1:14:18 > 1:14:20What have you done?

1:14:20 > 1:14:22What is it?

1:14:23 > 1:14:27If I'd done something really, really, really bad...

1:14:28 > 1:14:30I'm Angie.

1:14:30 > 1:14:32You must be Adam.

1:14:32 > 1:14:33At your service.

1:14:33 > 1:14:35SHE GIGGLES

1:14:35 > 1:14:38Has er...

1:14:38 > 1:14:39something happened?

1:14:39 > 1:14:44< Oh. Well, Dan has done something very bad

1:14:44 > 1:14:47and he's worried Leo will throw him out.

1:14:49 > 1:14:51Is that fish paste?

1:14:51 > 1:14:55Yeah, it is, actually. It's all I've got, I'm afraid.

1:14:55 > 1:14:57I adore fish paste.

1:14:57 > 1:14:59You do?

1:14:59 > 1:15:00Mmm.

1:15:00 > 1:15:02That's it.

1:15:02 > 1:15:04What do you mean, that's it?

1:15:04 > 1:15:08- You'll see. - What are you going to do? - Sort my life out.

1:15:08 > 1:15:09Can I come, too?

1:15:12 > 1:15:14Don't hate me, Leo. I was in love.

1:15:14 > 1:15:18- I don't hate you. - I'm not in love any more, though.

1:15:18 > 1:15:23Why am I always the one waiting for everyone else to sort themselves out?

1:15:23 > 1:15:26- I don't know.- I sit at home, twiddling my thumbs,

1:15:26 > 1:15:31while you're out there, getting your hands dirty, taking risks.

1:15:43 > 1:15:47Gherkins, olives, sun-dried tomatoes...

1:15:47 > 1:15:49Leo. Darren.

1:15:49 > 1:15:51What are you doing here?

1:15:51 > 1:15:53I can't do this any more.

1:15:53 > 1:15:54I have to tell her.

1:15:54 > 1:15:58Whoa. Don't you think we ought to discuss this first?

1:15:58 > 1:16:00- Hi, Sally.- Hi.

1:16:06 > 1:16:08Darren, could you erm...

1:16:08 > 1:16:11Sally, this thing

1:16:11 > 1:16:13that I've got to tell you.

1:16:13 > 1:16:14Leo,

1:16:14 > 1:16:17- this isn't a good time. - You know each other?

1:16:17 > 1:16:19- No.- Yes, we do.

1:16:19 > 1:16:20Don't.

1:16:20 > 1:16:24I think, if Leo has something to say, he should say it.

1:16:24 > 1:16:27Thank you. Right. The other night,

1:16:27 > 1:16:29yeah? You know, when we were...

1:16:29 > 1:16:31- on the floor? - On the floor?

1:16:31 > 1:16:34- What were you doing? - Snogging.

1:16:36 > 1:16:39Don't look so shocked. We were just giving it a go.

1:16:39 > 1:16:42- Leo, can we discuss this elsewhere? - Yeah.

1:16:42 > 1:16:45- Sorry, sorry. - It's OK.

1:16:47 > 1:16:49I know I'm a little bit daft...

1:16:49 > 1:16:51Look, one thing at a time, OK?

1:16:51 > 1:16:55Right. The reason I didn't sleep with you is...

1:16:59 > 1:17:02- ..I've been having an affair with Brendan.- Right.

1:17:02 > 1:17:04Yeah. And...

1:17:04 > 1:17:06I felt guilty.

1:17:06 > 1:17:08You know?

1:17:08 > 1:17:10And I felt confused...

1:17:10 > 1:17:12and...

1:17:12 > 1:17:14that's it.

1:17:14 > 1:17:18I was wondering how long it was going to take you to tell me.

1:17:18 > 1:17:21You knew?

1:17:21 > 1:17:23How could you know?

1:17:23 > 1:17:25Leo...

1:17:26 > 1:17:32you were behaving extremely strangely and you were wearing Brendan's jacket.

1:17:32 > 1:17:35I also wondered who would tell me. Thank you, Leo.

1:17:38 > 1:17:40Sally, I'm sorry.

1:17:40 > 1:17:45I can't spend half my life trying to figure out what you're not telling me.

1:17:45 > 1:17:48- I just need you to be honest with me. - Yeah.

1:17:48 > 1:17:50I know. I...

1:17:54 > 1:17:55I am so sorry.

1:18:01 > 1:18:03Look,

1:18:03 > 1:18:05can you...

1:18:05 > 1:18:07can you forgive me?

1:18:09 > 1:18:11Yeah.

1:18:11 > 1:18:13Thank you.

1:18:13 > 1:18:16No, it doesn't mean I want you back.

1:18:19 > 1:18:21Well, I...

1:18:21 > 1:18:23Maybe we could work on it.

1:18:23 > 1:18:26We've worked on it. This is what we've come up with.

1:18:26 > 1:18:31Let's look each other in the eye and just say, "It's over."

1:18:37 > 1:18:39When you can do that come and see me.

1:18:56 > 1:18:58Sally! Sally!

1:19:00 > 1:19:03- Leo! Leo! - What?

1:19:03 > 1:19:05- What's Pecorino? - A cheese.

1:19:06 > 1:19:08No, no, it's ham.

1:19:14 > 1:19:16It's on the house.

1:19:21 > 1:19:23SMOOTH JAZZ

1:19:47 > 1:19:50It wasn't the handcuffs or the damage to the Calvins,

1:19:50 > 1:19:55but the way he did it and the things he said. Made me feel very cheap.

1:19:55 > 1:19:59We must rebirth this adorable individual right now.

1:19:59 > 1:20:03- Is there a quiet room near here? - What are we going to do?

1:20:03 > 1:20:04Darren?

1:20:04 > 1:20:05Yes?

1:20:05 > 1:20:11- How would you like to be cleansed? - Completely cleansed of all negativity.

1:20:11 > 1:20:13Like a face pack?

1:20:13 > 1:20:14A spiritual face pack.

1:20:14 > 1:20:17Well, I don't want to be too cleansed.

1:20:17 > 1:20:22These loft conversions, I mean, they look great, but impossible to heat.

1:20:22 > 1:20:25A bit chilly in the bedroom, is it?

1:20:25 > 1:20:27That's something you'll never know.

1:20:30 > 1:20:35- This was all our idea, you know. It wasn't just Darren's.- I know.

1:20:39 > 1:20:42- So, when are you off to Thailand? - I'm not.

1:20:42 > 1:20:45Brendan's going on his own.

1:20:45 > 1:20:47You are still back together?

1:20:47 > 1:20:49He moved back in, yeah.

1:20:49 > 1:20:51I didn't invite him.

1:20:51 > 1:20:53He came back and...

1:20:53 > 1:20:55I'm still fond of him.

1:20:57 > 1:20:58Is that why

1:20:58 > 1:21:00you haven't called me?

1:21:00 > 1:21:03Well, three's a crowd.

1:21:04 > 1:21:06- Leo!- What?

1:21:07 > 1:21:11- Brendan I had seven years together. - I know.

1:21:11 > 1:21:16- He'll always be a part of my life, so you'll have to respect that. - I do.

1:21:18 > 1:21:23You helped me. I'm remembering who I want to be and it's fun.

1:21:23 > 1:21:25I thank you for that.

1:21:28 > 1:21:31Oh, Sal, I've missed you.

1:21:31 > 1:21:33Oh!

1:21:33 > 1:21:35I've missed you, too.

1:21:37 > 1:21:39I don't want to let you go.

1:21:41 > 1:21:43You don't have to!

1:21:45 > 1:21:47- What?- Nothing.

1:21:47 > 1:21:53- You do have to change your clothes and come out and enjoy the party. - Yeah?- Yeah.

1:21:53 > 1:21:55OK.

1:21:57 > 1:21:58I'll be there.

1:22:01 > 1:22:04- See you out there.- Yeah.

1:22:04 > 1:22:06INTERCOM BUZZES

1:22:08 > 1:22:10Hello? Oh.

1:22:11 > 1:22:13No, stay there. I'll come down.

1:22:18 > 1:22:20Voila.

1:22:20 > 1:22:23You should have brought the women from your group along.

1:22:23 > 1:22:25Add a little female energy.

1:22:25 > 1:22:29Actually, they're all a bit volatile at the moment.

1:22:29 > 1:22:33Jane's decided she's not a lesbian. She just happens to love a woman.

1:22:33 > 1:22:37Wendy's decided she is a lesbian but she wants to be with a man.

1:22:37 > 1:22:41And Penny doesn't feel sexual and says she feels left out.

1:22:44 > 1:22:46What do you want?

1:22:46 > 1:22:48I wanted to...

1:22:48 > 1:22:50you know.

1:22:51 > 1:22:53I brought you these.

1:22:53 > 1:22:55And?

1:22:55 > 1:22:57Well, I thought maybe we could...

1:22:57 > 1:23:01spend the evening together. I've got Time Out.

1:23:01 > 1:23:06Well, it's a bit difficult this evening. We're having a party.

1:23:06 > 1:23:08Oh, I see.

1:23:10 > 1:23:12Oh, well.

1:23:17 > 1:23:19Will you please take these?

1:23:23 > 1:23:24Jeremy?

1:23:24 > 1:23:26Mmm?

1:23:26 > 1:23:27There must be changes.

1:23:27 > 1:23:29I can change.

1:23:29 > 1:23:31There have to be trips to art galleries.

1:23:31 > 1:23:34Absolutely. I've circled ideas.

1:23:34 > 1:23:36I want lunches in Soho. Why not?

1:23:54 > 1:23:58That is a rather splendid bunch of...keys.

1:23:58 > 1:24:00Oh, yes.

1:24:00 > 1:24:03I've got the keys to my mum's place

1:24:03 > 1:24:06and the keys to my place

1:24:06 > 1:24:08and...oh...

1:24:08 > 1:24:10What? Keys to what?

1:24:11 > 1:24:14We haven't much time. Ang's at the party.

1:24:16 > 1:24:20- You're just jealous because I went out and did it.- Oh, yeah?

1:24:20 > 1:24:25- You were sat with your muscle mag. - That's a quaint way of putting it. - Oh, God.

1:24:25 > 1:24:30OK. Now you've done the gay thing, so it's back to the wife and kids?

1:24:30 > 1:24:33- Jesus, you are so... - What is the point?

1:24:33 > 1:24:37- Twisted...- Why not just pay someone to do all the difficult stuff?

1:24:37 > 1:24:42They could come home and give you little written reports.

1:24:42 > 1:24:44You fucker.

1:24:44 > 1:24:46Do you want to step outside, Paddy?

1:24:46 > 1:24:48Yeah. Yeah, right, I do.

1:24:48 > 1:24:50Good.

1:24:50 > 1:24:52About time I gave you a smack.

1:24:56 > 1:25:00Those two don't need to fight, they need to fuck.

1:25:00 > 1:25:02You know,

1:25:02 > 1:25:05I think you may be right. Good.

1:25:05 > 1:25:07Come on, come on.

1:25:07 > 1:25:09What?

1:25:09 > 1:25:11You love it, huh?

1:25:14 > 1:25:16Are you over him?

1:25:16 > 1:25:18Erm, yeah. Yeah, I think so. You?

1:25:18 > 1:25:20Er, me? Erm...

1:25:21 > 1:25:24at least ninety five percent.

1:25:24 > 1:25:26Good.

1:25:26 > 1:25:28Are you over me, though?

1:25:28 > 1:25:31Over you? I haven't even been under you yet.

1:25:31 > 1:25:33Or not for very long!

1:25:33 > 1:25:37That's true, but maybe this is all just foreplay for me.

1:25:37 > 1:25:39Oh, right!

1:25:39 > 1:25:41Ten years of foreplay.

1:25:41 > 1:25:46Yeah. I'm a slow-burner. It takes me a while to get going. I thought women liked this.

1:25:46 > 1:25:52- They love it. But what should I expect first, you or the menopause?- Sally!

1:25:52 > 1:25:54You are so demanding.

1:25:54 > 1:25:56Oi! Come here.

1:25:56 > 1:26:02Will you excuse us? We're just going to nip across the hall, spend some quality time.

1:26:04 > 1:26:08- I think she likes you.- Get lost. - I do think she likes you.

1:26:10 > 1:26:16Mwah! Happy birthday, gorgeous. We're just going to go and... sand my floors.

1:26:16 > 1:26:18SHE LAUGHS

1:26:18 > 1:26:20Leo, whatever you do, I love you.

1:26:20 > 1:26:22You take care of him.

1:26:22 > 1:26:24- Right, bye!- Bye.

1:26:29 > 1:26:32I'm in one of those moods and I'm not even drunk.

1:26:32 > 1:26:35That could easily be arranged.

1:26:35 > 1:26:40What do you say, we check into some faceless hotel and raid the mini-bar?

1:26:40 > 1:26:43Where do you get that mind of yours?

1:26:45 > 1:26:47- Bye, Leo.- Bye.

1:26:49 > 1:26:51Come on, then.

1:26:51 > 1:26:53Oh!

1:26:53 > 1:26:55Oh, my God. Did I hurt you?

1:26:55 > 1:26:57- Oh, yes.- Jesus.

1:26:57 > 1:26:59- Ow!- Oh, God.

1:26:59 > 1:27:01Ow!

1:27:05 > 1:27:09You should never call an Irishman Paddy, you know that?

1:27:09 > 1:27:12I'm sorry. It just slipped out.

1:27:12 > 1:27:14I was going to call you dickhead.

1:27:17 > 1:27:19You know, Terry,

1:27:20 > 1:27:26I know this great pub just round the corner that serves real Guinness.

1:27:26 > 1:27:28Would you let me buy you a pint?

1:27:30 > 1:27:32- Real Guinness?- Yeah.

1:27:34 > 1:27:36That'd be nice, yeah.

1:27:36 > 1:27:38Come on, then.

1:27:40 > 1:27:44- Have you ever been to Thailand? - No, but I like the food.

1:27:47 > 1:27:48Well, there you go.

1:27:48 > 1:27:50Another year.

1:27:50 > 1:27:54Was it my imagination or did everyone pair off?

1:27:54 > 1:27:57Yeah, they did. Still, it's...

1:27:57 > 1:27:59it's kind of convenient.

1:28:00 > 1:28:02It just...leaves us.

1:28:02 > 1:28:04You know?

1:28:05 > 1:28:07What do you say?

1:28:07 > 1:28:09Let's cause a little gossip.

1:28:10 > 1:28:15I don't know. So far, you've been THE most disappointing lover.

1:28:15 > 1:28:18- I feel good about that. - Do you now?- Yeah.

1:28:18 > 1:28:22How could I possibly disappoint you any more?

1:28:22 > 1:28:26And that's a very good feeling to have when you're a guy.

1:28:26 > 1:28:33We have to do something about your tendency to leave at odd moments. Women don't like that at all.

1:28:33 > 1:28:35There must be

1:28:35 > 1:28:37something I can do that women like.

1:28:48 > 1:28:51ANG: OK, out. DARREN: We're just leaving.

1:29:22 > 1:29:24Probably just a phase.
