0:06:44 > 0:06:45OK.

0:06:45 > 0:06:48Why doesn't she let him go if he wants to go?

0:06:48 > 0:06:51She should do. Then I can move back into my old room.

0:06:51 > 0:06:53Oh, you can move back into your old room

0:06:53 > 0:06:55if you can pay us 50 quid a week.

0:07:22 > 0:07:25WOMAN ON TV: Did a ghost leave these chilling messages

0:07:25 > 0:07:27asking for prayers and...

0:07:27 > 0:07:28CLARENCE CHANGES CHANNEL

0:07:30 > 0:07:33I wouldn't like to predict that at all, Phil.

0:07:34 > 0:07:37What do you want ringing wastefully from Canada, Mavis,

0:07:37 > 0:07:39when a stamp costs hardly nothing?

0:07:39 > 0:07:44Mum! I want to watch 'Arthur C. Clarke'! Mum!

0:07:44 > 0:07:46I've been meaning to ask what you wanted doing with those?

0:07:46 > 0:07:48Clarence wants to watch 'One Man and His Dog'.

0:07:48 > 0:07:50He's the one who's paying.

0:07:50 > 0:07:53You're a naughty girl. It's about ghosts!

0:07:53 > 0:07:54We're all naughty girls.

0:07:54 > 0:07:57CLANGING Oh, ball bearings!

0:07:57 > 0:07:59I wouldn't mind being alone with that one

0:08:01 > 0:08:05Can I get my wages, Kath? Oh, sorry. Yeah.

0:08:05 > 0:08:08Mum! It's very important. It's about recording ghosts!

0:08:08 > 0:08:11There's a ghost hunter saying what he does when he wants to hunt them.

0:08:12 > 0:08:15Steve! Come here!

0:08:15 > 0:08:17Oh, no, I think what you wanted to say is,

0:08:17 > 0:08:19"Darling, would you mind coming here if you're not too busy?"

0:08:19 > 0:08:22That's what I said. Why can't you watch the TV upstairs?

0:08:22 > 0:08:24No, you ordered me to come in there.

0:08:24 > 0:08:26The TV upstairs is haunted!

0:08:26 > 0:08:31Why don't you do it, then? Please, darling!

0:08:31 > 0:08:32Because I came in there last time, dearest.

0:08:32 > 0:08:36It doesn't matter. And you didn't come over here last time.

0:08:36 > 0:08:38Yes, I did. Why don't you listen?

0:08:39 > 0:08:43Sorry, love. Will you sort out the TV for him?

0:08:43 > 0:08:46Ena, you've just pinched all these knives and forks again!

0:08:46 > 0:08:48Yes, sir.

0:08:49 > 0:08:52Arnold's ghost must have got into it when he died.

0:08:52 > 0:08:56Arnold's ghost had better things to do than hanging around in a telly.

0:08:56 > 0:08:58There, ghosts! Are you happy?

0:08:59 > 0:09:03MAN ON TV: Thermometers to detect sudden fluctuations in temperature.

0:09:03 > 0:09:05And, strange as it might seem,

0:09:05 > 0:09:09one might consider bringing a dog or a cat,

0:09:09 > 0:09:13as animals seem to react to supernatural activity.

0:09:13 > 0:09:15Animals also provide much-needed company.

0:09:17 > 0:09:20WOMAN ON TV: Price's methods were thorough and no-nonsense.

0:09:22 > 0:09:25he believed that it was only a matter of time before...

0:09:25 > 0:09:27What do you think happens when you die, Dad?

0:09:31 > 0:09:33Can't imagine it's all that different.

0:09:34 > 0:09:37MAN ON TV: ..a dog or cat allowed to roam freely,

0:09:37 > 0:09:40but most of all it's imperative for successful investigation

0:09:40 > 0:09:43that the entire building be cleared of inhabitants

0:09:43 > 0:09:46to allow the ghost hunter to work in controlled conditions

0:09:46 > 0:09:48and without interruptions.

0:16:06 > 0:16:09How could we let him get to that? Poor fella.

0:16:09 > 0:16:11We have to cheer this place up a bit.

0:18:34 > 0:18:36Sorry I put a lot of talcum on your floor, and that.

0:18:37 > 0:18:40Sorry for not saying sorry when you ran me over.

0:18:40 > 0:18:42And that time I chucked dirt on your head.

0:18:44 > 0:18:49That's an awful lot of things to be sorry for...at such a young age.

0:18:49 > 0:18:50Sorry.

0:18:54 > 0:18:56Are you a magician?

0:18:57 > 0:19:00I gave it up. Why don't you start again?

0:19:01 > 0:19:03Do me a favour.

0:19:19 > 0:19:21Or a tunnel with Jesus at the end?

0:19:22 > 0:19:25As a matter of fact, I did.

0:19:25 > 0:19:28And then this cross-eyed little Herbert turned up

0:19:28 > 0:19:30and yanked me back out.

0:19:30 > 0:19:32That's what you should be saying sorry for.

0:49:40 > 0:49:44She passed me by, I went after her.

0:49:45 > 0:49:48I had a 10-bob note in my pocket.

0:49:48 > 0:49:50You don't see them any more. They were red.

0:49:51 > 0:49:55So, I took it out and I said, "Excuse my intrusion, Miss,

0:49:55 > 0:49:58"but I think you might have dropped this."

0:49:58 > 0:50:02And she said, "Oh, gosh, I did. Thank you."

0:50:06 > 0:50:08So, I took her to Lyons Corner House.

0:50:09 > 0:50:12We had a long bun,

0:53:14 > 0:53:16then you die again,

0:53:16 > 0:53:18and afterwards you come back to life.

0:53:22 > 0:53:24Sounds exhausting.

0:53:27 > 0:53:31I want to come back as an animal.

0:53:32 > 0:53:35A rabbit or a badger, or something.

0:53:35 > 0:53:39I like badgers. What's so good about badgers?

0:53:39 > 0:53:43Well, I like badgers because they're bad-tempered and they look good.

0:53:44 > 0:53:48And you can make sporrans out of badgers.

0:53:49 > 0:53:53But if you came back as a person you get a chance to put it right again.

0:54:53 > 0:54:55If I could just say to her I'm sorry...

0:54:55 > 0:54:57If I could tell her I was bloody sorry...

0:54:58 > 0:55:01..what a difference that would make.

0:55:01 > 0:55:02She's dead, son!

0:55:03 > 0:55:05She divorced me. Who?

0:55:12 > 0:55:14I was a good-looking fella.

0:55:16 > 0:55:19Then one day I came back home

0:55:19 > 0:55:20and she'd...

0:55:25 > 0:55:28Many years later I got a letter saying that she'd...

0:55:33 > 0:55:35I was too late for her bloody funeral!

1:05:28 > 1:05:30Have some cake.

1:05:39 > 1:05:41What's the matter? I live in an old people's home!

1:05:41 > 1:05:44I live in an old people's home as well. It's not easy for anybody.

1:05:44 > 1:05:47You realise this will now be where you send your elderly loved ones

1:05:47 > 1:05:49to have bits of them chopped off?

1:05:49 > 1:05:51It was an accident! Why do you always stick up for him?

1:05:51 > 1:05:54He's not your granddad, Eddie. I wish he was my dad!

1:05:56 > 1:05:57Oh, aye. Well, he's going senile.

1:05:57 > 1:05:59Haven't you noticed?

1:06:00 > 1:06:03So you'll just have to settle for Mr Knobhead here.

1:06:04 > 1:06:06KATH: Why'd you have to say that?

1:06:06 > 1:06:08He'd have found out sooner or later. Let me go!

1:06:08 > 1:06:10Eddie...

1:06:10 > 1:06:14..some people don't die just like that, you know, not like Lilian.

1:06:14 > 1:06:16Some people, they take a bit longer.

1:06:16 > 1:06:19You know, they fade. I know what "senile" is!

1:06:19 > 1:06:21There's still Daddy and me, love.

1:06:21 > 1:06:23We are NOT going to fade away. Yes, you are!

1:06:23 > 1:06:26You are! Eddie, look, they're just clients.

1:06:26 > 1:06:29You shouldn't get so involved. What about you?!

1:06:29 > 1:06:31What? Getting involved!

1:06:46 > 1:06:48Like, 45? No, I'm 39.

1:06:52 > 1:06:55You don't want to have an affair with me, Steve.

1:06:55 > 1:06:57I can't support my family.

1:06:57 > 1:07:00I'm a rotten bloody father, a terrible husband,

1:07:00 > 1:07:03and nobody but you has a single bloody second for me.

1:07:45 > 1:07:46You just undermine me, Steve.

1:07:48 > 1:07:51All the time. You never do anything other than complain.

1:07:51 > 1:07:54It's exhausting!

1:07:55 > 1:07:57Why don't you just go? Oh, come on!

1:08:42 > 1:08:43No? No?

1:08:43 > 1:08:46We've got to straighten you out a bit in general, haven't we?

1:10:50 > 1:10:53A divorce. A bit tricky, I should think.

1:13:21 > 1:13:25"Here lies Clarence B. Parkinson.

1:13:25 > 1:13:29"He was born, he effed it up, and then he died."

1:13:32 > 1:13:33What's your name?

1:13:35 > 1:13:38Eh? Edward.

1:13:38 > 1:13:41Edward...things aren't exactly...

1:13:48 > 1:13:49Have you any idea what it is?

1:13:53 > 1:13:55There's something the matter.

1:14:02 > 1:14:05The name on that gravestone...

1:14:05 > 1:14:08..is the same name as my wife.

1:14:17 > 1:14:20Leave it. I'm going to go call my mum.

1:14:27 > 1:14:29STEVE: You know, today's the first time

1:14:29 > 1:14:31we've spent more than half an hour with each other

1:14:31 > 1:14:33without a bloody fogey or shitty arse

1:14:33 > 1:14:36or liquidised bloody carrots getting in the way...

1:14:36 > 1:14:38..for a year.

1:14:39 > 1:14:41Because our kid's run off

1:14:41 > 1:14:43because he hates us so much because of what we do.

1:14:43 > 1:14:45That isn't...

1:14:45 > 1:14:47What we do is good.

1:14:49 > 1:14:51We didn't go to university, Steve.

1:14:51 > 1:14:53You asked me to marry you.

1:14:53 > 1:14:54We had a baby.

1:14:56 > 1:14:58Do you remember how much we...

1:15:00 > 1:15:04Do you remember how hard we tried for him?

1:15:04 > 1:15:06Yeah.

1:15:08 > 1:15:11That was the journey we decided to make.

1:15:11 > 1:15:14And there might be a few less dates...

1:15:14 > 1:15:17..and I might end up looking like my mother, but...

1:15:17 > 1:15:18I'm sorry.

1:15:24 > 1:15:26It's not that way, love. What?

1:15:26 > 1:15:28It's just over here. Come on. I thought I was outside.

1:15:28 > 1:15:30You come with me. That's it.

1:15:34 > 1:15:37I mean, you argue with your mates sometimes, right?

1:15:39 > 1:15:42And obviously your mum and me sometimes...

1:15:44 > 1:15:46HE SIGHS

1:15:46 > 1:15:48I can be a grumpy bum.

1:15:48 > 1:15:50It's no fault of yours, love.

1:15:50 > 1:15:51It's just...

1:15:57 > 1:15:59Are you not going to live at home?

1:16:01 > 1:16:03I don't know.

1:16:05 > 1:16:09Hey, but you must never think, ever...

1:16:09 > 1:16:12..that you're not absolutely the most important thing in the world

1:16:12 > 1:16:13to your mum and me.

1:16:17 > 1:16:19Do you understand?

1:16:28 > 1:16:29When's he going to die?

1:16:33 > 1:16:36We'll look after him.

1:16:36 > 1:16:38Just like we look after everybody.

1:16:40 > 1:16:44I'm a little bit bored with you men and your problems at the moment, Edward.

1:16:46 > 1:16:48Sometimes you just have to learn to let things go.

1:16:50 > 1:16:51I know.

1:16:55 > 1:16:57Hmm!

1:16:59 > 1:17:01There you are.

1:17:02 > 1:17:03Where have you been? Go back to sleep.

1:17:03 > 1:17:06I've been looking for you all over the damn place.

1:17:06 > 1:17:08Oh, God, help us. There's another one here.

1:17:08 > 1:17:10Another wild and woolly one who can't cope with himself.

1:17:10 > 1:17:14Annie...

1:17:14 > 1:17:15..I'm sorry, pigeon.

1:17:18 > 1:17:21That's all I wanted to say. Just tell you that I'm sorry.

1:17:21 > 1:17:23I got distracted.

1:17:24 > 1:17:26If I had my time over again...

1:17:27 > 1:17:30If I had it again... Shh. Shh. Shh. Shh. Shh.

1:17:30 > 1:17:32Annie... I forgive you.

1:17:34 > 1:17:36I forgive you.

1:18:15 > 1:18:18Marty, I'm going to be very sad to see you go.

1:18:18 > 1:18:20You've really made a difference in my life.

1:18:20 > 1:18:22You've given me something to shoot for.

1:18:22 > 1:18:25Just knowing that I'm going to be around to see 1985.

1:18:25 > 1:18:27That I'm going to succeed in this.

1:18:27 > 1:18:30That I'm going to have a chance to travel through time.

1:18:35 > 1:18:37It's going to be really hard waiting 30 years

1:18:37 > 1:18:41before I can talk to you about everything that's happened in the past few days.

1:18:41 > 1:18:43I'm really going to miss you, Marty.

1:18:44 > 1:18:46MARTY: I'm really going to miss you.

1:18:48 > 1:18:50Ace one, wasn't it?

1:18:53 > 1:18:55I was there too.

1:18:55 > 1:18:57Oh, no. Are you sure?

1:18:57 > 1:19:00Yep. Are you coming in?

1:19:00 > 1:19:01Oh, a couple of minutes can't hurt.

1:19:03 > 1:19:05Hey, but you did like it, though, didn't you?
