00:08Oh, I'll take those.
00:09Oh, it's all right.
00:11Are you sure you can manage tonight?
00:13Yeah.
00:13Oh, we've got some really special plans.
00:15Because if you've got any second thoughts, I'll not cancel the professional one.
00:19They are professionals, Dad.
00:21All right, all right. Keep your maternity front on.
00:32What are you, Dad?
00:33Oh, I love being here.
00:35Bills. All bills.
00:37I don't mind.
00:39It's all right, Mum. He'll probably go to sleep for the rest of the morning.
00:42Well, if he's any trouble, you just bring him back.
00:44Yeah. I might pop him back before I go over to check on Angie, though.
00:47All right. Don't leave it too late, will you?
00:50No, I'll go straight after that.
00:54Hello, love.
00:55Hello, dear.
00:56Everything all right?
00:57Yeah, lovely.
00:58Oh, good.
00:59Yeah? Do you want to hold him for a sec?
01:01Yeah.
01:01Come on, son.
01:02There's a good boy.
01:04There's a good boy.
01:05How are you this morning, eh?
01:07He's a lovely fella.
01:09I don't suppose you noticed if the postman was out there at all, did you?
01:12Postman?
01:14Yeah, you know, the bloke who delivers the letters.
01:16No.
01:17Well, are you expecting something?
01:18Well, I just thought that, um...
01:22No, sorry.
01:23I wasn't expecting anything.
01:25Oh.
01:25Right, well, I must be off.
01:27Martin's cut.
01:28Oh, where's Michelle?
01:29Michelle?
01:30Well, she's gone to school or wherever it is she goes to.
01:32Not on that part.
01:33Yeah.
01:34Well, this is ridiculous.
01:35Absolutely ridiculous, isn't it, Mum?
01:37Is it?
01:38Yes.
01:38I've been pregnant.
01:39Oh, yeah.
01:40Yeah, we ought to do something like that.
01:42Yes, I know.
01:43Yeah, well, no time like the present.
01:45Eh?
01:45Well, go out there and tell her.
01:47What, me?
01:48Yeah, well, she'll take it better from you.
01:49It's woman to woman like.
01:50Oh, all right.
01:57Who's the post, sorry?
01:58Michelle!
02:00Michelle!
02:02Michelle!
02:04Michelle!
02:04There you go.
02:05All right.
02:07Thanks a lot.
02:09Oh.
02:10Morning, Ron.
02:11Hello, there.
02:12See you, Arthur.
02:13Yes, please.
02:14Can I use your phone?
02:15Oh, free country.
02:16Arthur?
02:16Yeah, fine.
02:20Here.
02:21Guess what I've got in my pocket.
02:23Family?
02:23Mucky pink.
02:24No, let me show you.
02:25No, not here.
02:26No, no, no, look.
02:28Oh, what's that?
02:28What's it look like?
02:2950 quid.
02:30Wrong.
02:31What, this is a meal out for me and you tonight.
02:33I've been saving.
02:34Tonight?
02:34Yeah.
02:35Yeah, we're not going to our man's place, are we?
02:36No, don't talk rubbish.
02:37I'm taking someone with his candle, letting romantic.
02:40Yeah.
02:40Besides, haven't we all family breathing down, haven't we?
02:43Chancellor Stone.
02:44Hello?
02:44Mr Fowler, are you?
02:46Yeah, I'm just ringing to come.
02:47Cancel the girl I booked for tonight.
02:49Yeah, that's right.
02:50Yeah, I don't want her anymore.
02:52No.
02:52Now, I'm going to get somebody else to do it for me.
02:55Mimi!
02:56Hello.
02:56How you doing?
02:57All right.
02:59How are you?
03:00How are you?
03:00Hi, Sue.
03:01I'm a Met.
03:02How are you, darling?
03:03Fine.
03:03How are you doing?
03:04We were just passing.
03:04I thought we should call.
03:05We?
03:06Yeah, just a couple of family.
03:07They're in the car.
03:07Shall I bring them in?
03:08Yeah, yeah, bring them in.
03:09Bring them in.
03:10All right.
03:11You too.
03:13We could have done without that today.
03:15Can we pass in food?
03:16I'm not staying on.
03:18I don't care if she does it standing on her head with no knickers on.
03:21I don't want her.
03:23What would I do with a nun?
03:26All right.
03:55Well, this is a rough plan of how the...
03:57extension would look.
03:59I'll work out the estimates later.
04:00What then?
04:02Well, then, if you think you can afford it, you'll have to have plans drawn up properly
04:06and then submit them to the council for planning permission.
04:09And eventually, when they feel like it, they should give you the go-ahead.
04:12How long will all that take?
04:14Oh, a few months, if you're lucky.
04:17And if the wife of the man in the planning permission doesn't get a verruca.
04:21It's like that, is it?
04:23I'm afraid so.
04:24Well, I can only start inside the shop and do the extension later, if you like.
04:28Yeah, it'll have to be done if I'm going to make this place work.
04:31All right.
04:32Now, the cabinet's along here, you said?
04:35Yeah, that's right.
04:41Trouble?
04:42Oh, it's from the bank.
04:44Oh, it's trouble.
04:46They're getting a bit impatient about the money, I hope.
04:49Oh, it happens to us all, sister.
04:51You too.
04:52Unfortunately, yes.
04:56Hey, talking about money, would you and Naima care to make a small donation for Evel?
05:03Evel?
05:03Yes, I'm collecting for her new dog.
05:08It won't be very much, I'm afraid.
05:10Sue, can I have two more coffees, please?
05:12Don't you think we all just start getting the dinner?
05:14Yeah, in a minute.
05:16Max Williams said I've been there to talk to me as I can say this.
05:18What do you want to send her?
05:20She doesn't look well.
05:21Yeah?
05:21She's losing weight.
05:23It's not natural.
05:23Of course it's natural.
05:24She's just not a big woman.
05:26Yeah, it's about time she was.
05:27Why?
05:28Big women are what makes the world go round.
05:30Yeah, they can also hit back.
05:32Come on, Ali, come on.
05:33I'm talking about children.
05:35Kids.
05:36Make up, you mind.
05:37How many are you talking about fat birds?
05:38Next to me, you're talking about kids.
05:39Wait, wait.
05:40You'll tell you how they happen.
05:42I'll be able to get to the point.
05:45It's the same thing.
05:46What do you mean, you're meant?
05:47All right.
05:49Sue is not having a baby.
05:51True.
05:52We wondered why not.
05:54There's a reason for that.
05:57She's not pregnant.
05:58Oh, I can't.
05:59Give you a hundred and a cent, don't you?
06:01Oh, no.
06:02Come on.
06:03We see a baby.
06:05Maybe.
06:06Sure, come on.
06:07Coke's in the fridge.
06:09I've heard a letter from the hospital, Angie.
06:11What's the matter, Doc?
06:12You're not feeling well?
06:13I think we're well past the time for jokes, aren't we?
06:16They had no business telling you.
06:17Oh, yes, they had.
06:19Look, perhaps I can help.
06:21Prevent you trying it again.
06:22You reckon?
06:23Yeah.
06:25I may appear to be an old fool at times,
06:27but I'm pretty well aware of most things that go on around here.
06:32Are you going to tell me?
06:33There's nothing to say.
06:34Oh, yes, there is.
06:35You take an overdose and there's nothing to say.
06:37No.
06:37Now I know where Sharon gets it from.
06:39What do you mean?
06:40She's another one who can be stubborn when she wants to.
06:42All right, Doc.
06:43So I popped a few too many aspirins, all right?
06:45Oh, hardly aspirins, according to the registrar.
06:48You can be dismissive if you want to.
06:50It's your own prerogative.
06:51But what I want to know is, were you serious?
06:54Aye.
06:55Every day, people threaten to throw themselves off buildings wanting to be stopped.
06:59What are you suggesting?
07:00I'm not suggesting anything.
07:01I'm just asking you.
07:03Because believe it or not, Angie,
07:05most people around here, myself included, think an awful lot of you,
07:08and I want to make sure it's not going to happen again.
07:11Also, it's my job.
07:12Well?
07:14Well, I'm not sure.
07:16I half want you to be stopped and I half want you to die.
07:20And now?
07:21And now I'm still not sure.
07:24Whatever the reason, Angie, it's not worth it.
07:26You've got everything to live for.
07:28Have I?
07:29Yes.
07:31The thing is, Dot...
07:32What?
07:34The thing is, I still love him.
07:37Den?
07:38Yeah, good old snake in the grass, Den.
07:40I still love him.
07:41And what about him?
07:43Well, I used to think I was his number one.
07:45That no matter what happened, he'd come running back to me.
07:49But now I'm not so sure.
07:51Well, I'm not going to pretend I can solve your problems for you, Angie.
07:54But I want you to promise me something.
07:56That if ever you feel like that again,
07:58you'll ring me, day or night,
08:00and I'll be here like Mercury.
08:02Like who?
08:03Never mind.
08:03Just promise me.
08:05All right.
08:06I promise.
08:08Good.
08:10Doc.
08:10Yeah?
08:11You won't tell anyone about me, will you?
08:13I won't tell a soul.
08:16Thanks.
08:20He didn't come after I'd gone?
08:21No.
08:22So there was no post at all?
08:24No post at all.
08:25Why, your premium bond come up or something?
08:27You've no idea what the date is today, have you?
08:30Yeah, of course I have.
08:32Well?
08:33Well, it's the 11th of March.
08:36Yeah?
08:37Yeah.
08:38Doesn't it ring a bell?
08:40No, should it?
08:42Yes, it's a special day.
08:44Is it?
08:45Yes.
08:46Think.
08:47No.
08:49I can't think of anything.
08:50Pauline, can you do this washing for me, please?
08:52Yes, but you'll have to collect it from Doc in a couple of hours.
08:54On second thoughts, I'll do it myself.
08:56It's okay.
08:56It'll still take justice long.
08:58I know, but it will be cheaper than having a service wash.
09:01Oh, I hate this pretend poverty, don't you?
09:03Oh, let's all get trendy and join the working class.
09:06Shut up, bro.
09:06I bet she makes donations to Paul Getty.
09:11Seen a little pug dog anywhere?
09:12Oh, hello.
09:13Hello.
09:14Still no joy?
09:15No.
09:16What are you going to do, then?
09:17Keep looking.
09:18I mean, it's a good excuse, you know.
09:19Come on.
09:20Well, for checking out Albert Square and a certain young lady who lives there.
09:23Oh, I see.
09:24Look, I was wondering.
09:26Oh, I'm really sorry.
09:28All right.
09:29Hey, you haven't left your car keys in the car, have you?
09:32Of course not, no.
09:33It's all right, then.
09:35Why?
09:36Well, I didn't want them kids that are playing in it to work themselves.
09:40Excuse me.
09:42Oh, excuse me.
09:44Have you any news about my willy for me?
09:47No.
09:48No, Ethel, I haven't.
09:49Sorry.
09:49Oh.
09:51Well, I only followed him in to ask about my willy.
09:54He's doing all he can, I suppose.
09:56Yes.
09:56Well, I think he might be a bit polite.
09:59Otherwise, he'll find himself losing his stripes, won't he?
10:02Here.
10:02Here.
10:03I've got some effluents in our places, you know.
10:06I'll be back in a bit, Pauline.
10:07Thanks.
10:07She'll be asking to pay for her washing with American Express next to watch.
10:11Hey, Pauline, I was thinking of taking Annie to see Dr Largan.
10:14Oh, yeah?
10:15See you.
10:16Pauline.
10:16Thanks, Ethel.
10:18Have you had Martin done yet?
10:20What?
10:21Immunised.
10:22Oh, yeah.
10:23She thought you was talking about religion there for the minute.
10:26Silly.
10:26Well, no, I was thinking of getting her done for whooping cough.
10:31Oh, yeah, they were talking about that down the clinic, but, uh, I don't know.
10:34Oh, no, well, I hadn't thought about it until Andy sort of mentioned it.
10:38Well, it's all a bit iffy, isn't it?
10:40Well, from what I understand, it's even more iffy if you don't have it, though.
10:43I know.
10:43Andy says it's really dangerous if you get it in younger kids.
10:46Yeah, well, measles ain't abundant laughs, is it?
10:49Well, I'll think about it.
10:51Well, while you're doing that, love, I'm going to sort out my allotment.
10:54Ta-da.
10:54Okay.
10:54Bye, dear.
10:55Ta-da.
10:57Oh, I've got it.
11:00I know what day it is now.
11:02You do?
11:02Yeah.
11:03It's Commonwealth Day.
11:05You what?
11:06Oh, no.
11:07No, you're right.
11:07That was yesterday.
11:08Ta-da.
11:08See ya.
11:11There's no post at all?
11:13No, only for Ian.
11:14What?
11:15Yeah, he's done it.
11:15He's in Capewyn College.
11:17Oh, that's great.
11:18Yeah.
11:18He must have really impressed him at his interview.
11:20Yeah, right.
11:21They said at his school it was hard to get a place there.
11:23In Essex as well.
11:24That means he'll be able to live at home.
11:25Yeah, I bet he's on cloud nine.
11:26Oh, he's well pleased.
11:27Yeah.
11:28There's definitely no post for me.
11:30No, why?
11:31Expecting something?
11:32No, not really.
11:34Oh, listen, Pete, I thought I'd do a bit of shopping later on after I've finished here.
11:37Anything special?
11:38Yeah, a present.
11:39A present?
11:40For Ian.
11:41Oh, for Ian.
11:42Well, I thought it might be nice to buy him his gear, you know, his knives and whites and
11:45things.
11:45I'd like us a celebration.
11:47Oh, yeah, it'd be nice, wouldn't it, to celebrate something.
11:50Here, Simon.
11:51I've got all the turtles in there.
11:53Sure.
11:54Oh, that's right.
11:55Are you fancy an ham sandwich?
11:56Eh?
11:57A ham sandwich for your lunch?
11:58No, why?
11:59Oh, I just thought you might.
12:02Oi, Tony Blackburn, did you put this crap on again?
12:05What, that?
12:06This record.
12:07I'm sick of hearing it.
12:08Oh, well, I might have done.
12:09Well, if our takings are done, I'm going to point the finger at you.
12:12Me?
12:12Yeah, you're driving our customers.
12:13You're like an ostrich on eat now.
12:14Serve tone.
12:19Right, what do you have, Simon?
12:20We'll see him again.
12:23Fancy an ham sandwich?
12:24No.
12:25Sure.
12:26Positive.
12:27Why?
12:28Oh, I just thought you might.
12:29Oh, Dennis, Pete.
12:31Uh, Angie, about.
12:32Upstairs.
12:33Oh, all right, if I go up, is it?
12:34Yeah, you don't need a map, do you?
12:35Wait, where are you off to?
12:36Oh, I thought I put a record on.
12:38Don't bother.
12:39Serve Arthur.
12:40What do you have, Arthur?
12:41Arthur special, please.
12:46Oh, you look a bit down in the mouth, Pete.
12:49Anything out of order?
12:50No.
12:50And how's Paulie?
12:52She's fine.
12:53Not upset about anything.
12:54Funny you should say that.
12:56She was a bit earlier on.
12:58I suppose that's because your twin's like, you know, you're down, so she's down.
13:01Twins can be like that, can't they?
13:02Yeah, because we were born on the same day.
13:05Yeah.
13:05Yeah.
13:05There you go, then, Arthur.
13:06Cheers, sir.
13:09Yeah, were you thinking of having something to eat?
13:11Yeah, I was thinking of having a sandwich.
13:13A sandwich?
13:14Yeah.
13:15And?
13:16Hey?
13:17Have ham.
13:18Why?
13:19Well, it's good for you.
13:20Is it?
13:20Yeah, I read it in a magazine.
13:22It makes your hair curl.
13:23Is that a fact?
13:24Yeah, yeah, I think it's something to do with a pig's tail.
13:26Really?
13:27Yeah, yeah.
13:28Well, I'd better have one, then.
13:30You will?
13:31Yes.
13:31I was going to have beef, but I don't want my hair to look like a cow's hudder, do I?
13:35No, I'm very sensible, Arthur.
13:37Listen, I'll order you one.
13:37Okay, done.
13:40Here, Cathy, can we have an ham sandwich, please, for Arthur?
13:43No, I ain't got no ham.
13:44I used it all up.
13:45What, no ham?
13:46No.
13:47Leave it to me.
13:51Oi, Romeo, where do you think you're going?
13:52It's not three o'clock yet.
13:53No, I'm just off to the food store to see if Naaman's got any ham.
13:55We're cleaning out of it.
13:57Who's that?
13:58Aunt Dissu?
13:58Give Aunt Dissu a kiss.
14:02That's it.
14:03Another baby will be good for you and Ali, you know?
14:06If it's all right with you, Ali and I will decide about those little things.
14:09Thank you very much.
14:11Ali...
14:11In a minute.
14:12We all want to talk about that.
14:13In a minute.
14:13I'm talking.
14:18We're just worried about you.
14:19Just give us time.
14:20You've had time.
14:21Children are part of a family.
14:23They're necessary.
14:23We'll have some more children.
14:24When?
14:25When we want to.
14:26You and Sue need another baby.
14:28You need another Hassan.
14:30We will do, Mehmet.
14:31We're just worried you might leave it too late.
14:32You don't want to grow old without children.
14:34We're still young.
14:35We've got plenty of time.
14:36There's no time like the present.
14:37Look, Mehmet, I don't try and tell you how to run your life.
14:39Ali, will you just listen to me?
14:40No, you listen.
14:41I don't see you from one week to the next.
14:43And here you are laying the law down about what I should and shouldn't be doing.
14:46Now, I don't mind you coming in here, drinking my tea, eating my sandwiches.
14:49I don't mind.
14:49I'd love to see you.
14:50But don't tell me when I have to make a family.
14:58Satisfied?
15:01Sometimes I just don't feel like going down there to face them.
15:04Do you know what I mean?
15:05Yeah.
15:06It's all so up front, isn't it?
15:08Yeah, well, everyone gets like that at times.
15:10Yeah, well, Den don't, does he?
15:12He's always up front.
15:14And that's Dennis.
15:15He's always the same.
15:17Thanks.
15:17Cheers.
15:18When we was kids, I used to think, got him.
15:21I've got the best looking fella around here.
15:24That's what I used to think.
15:25That's nice.
15:26Can I hold him?
15:28Well, he's a...
15:28Come on, Paul.
15:29Yeah, okay.
15:30It's a bit wet.
15:32There you go.
15:33Hello.
15:35Oh, it's been a long time since I've held a baby.
15:39Den always wanted a big family, but I was never that keen.
15:42It's funny how things work out, isn't it?
15:44Yeah.
15:45I think things could be boring, though, if they all worked out as they were planned to.
15:48Oh, we had lots of plans.
15:50I can remember walking down the I Street, me and him, talking about all the things we were going to
15:54do.
15:55I was so proud of him, Paul.
15:57He was always so smart and clean shoes, pressed trousers, fresh shirt.
16:03Yeah, him and Pete, they were a right pair of wide boys, weren't they?
16:06We belong together, me and Den, whatever anybody says.
16:10Nobody's ever said any different.
16:11Yes, they have.
16:12They said a lot of things about Den and about me.
16:14A lot of people would like to see us fall apart.
16:16But in the end, it's just me and him, isn't it?
16:18And he knows that.
16:19Well, that's all that's important.
16:20Well, not now.
16:22It's different now and it's just not the same anymore.
16:25And marriage is never one long honeymoon.
16:28Well, it could have been different if we'd had kids.
16:31But we couldn't.
16:33Why not?
16:35I don't know.
16:36That's the stupid thing.
16:37I just don't know.
16:39They couldn't find anything wrong with either of us.
16:41We tried for nearly five years, but nothing.
16:44So, in the end, we adopted Sharon.
16:46But, I mean, she was four then.
16:48But we wanted her and we loved her and we still do.
16:53But, ooh.
16:54But what?
16:56I've never had a baby, Paul.
16:59I want to hold me own baby.
17:02Perhaps that'd bring us together, eh?
17:05I only drink because I don't know what's around the corner.
17:08But if we had our own baby,
17:12then he'd love me.
17:14Wouldn't he?
17:18Happy birthday.
17:19An happy birthday to you, sis.
17:22It's a sign of age, you know, when they forget your birthday.
17:25Yeah, I know.
17:26Here, what about me and you?
17:27Drink tonight?
17:28Yeah, why not?
17:29Just because they forgot our birthday doesn't mean to say we have to.
17:32Yeah, lie.
17:34Ta.
17:39Ah, Jimmy.
17:41Just a person I wanted to see.
17:42Well, that was lucky then.
17:43Yeah.
17:44Look, I was wondering.
17:46Now I don't...
17:47Did you see that?
17:48What?
17:48It was Willie.
17:50Where?
17:50He went up there.
17:51Up there.
17:52All right, well, hang on a minute, will you?
17:56I'm sorry.
17:57I'm sorry.
17:58I lost my temper.
17:59Well, next time your caring family come round here with their advice,
18:02you tell them to sling their hook.
18:07You've just closed your shelf.
18:08Sorry, I don't have any food on the field.
18:09I want to book a can.
18:10When for?
18:11Tonight.
18:11About up or starting?
18:12All right.
18:12I'll go.
18:13No, not tonight.
18:14We're going out to dinner, remember?
18:15I'm afraid we've had to cancel.
18:17You what?
18:18I'll tell you about it later.
18:19But, Ali, you...
18:20Whereabouts, Michelle?
18:21It's all on there, but keep you quiet, Willie.
18:22It's a surprise.
18:23Sure.
18:23Thanks a lot.
18:25All right, start explaining.
18:27I lost it.
18:28What on?
18:29The horses.
18:30Oh, Ali.
18:31I was depressed.
18:33Not half as depressed as I am.
18:36God, whenever we have something going for us,
18:37you always manage to spoil it, don't you?
18:43No, I wasn't expecting anybody else.
18:46Well, I just got a call.
18:47See how you're getting on.
18:49What, with the reading?
18:50Yeah.
18:51Well, I think I'm getting better.
18:52Good.
18:53Yeah, and I'll take now to see Dr. Link.
18:56I'll be getting any immunized.
18:57That's right.
18:58And?
18:59Well, you seem to think the same as you,
19:01so I'm going to get it done as soon as possible.
19:03Great.
19:04I'm thinking really well, honestly, Mary.
19:05Great.
19:06I'm still scared.
19:07I know.
19:08But I've seen kids almost blinded by measles
19:10just because their parents aren't bothered to have them jabbed.
19:13Yeah?
19:14Oh, well, I trust you.
19:15You wouldn't say it if you didn't mean it.
19:18I'd offer you a drink, but I haven't got anything.
19:20Well, how about me taking you out for one, hmm?
19:23Oh, I can't.
19:24I promised to babysit for Pauline and Arthur.
19:26He'll be bringing Martin over any time.
19:29Well, why don't I nip over and get a bottle of wine
19:31and we can spend the evening reading, eh?
19:33How does that grab you?
19:34Are you sure?
19:34Yeah, of course.
19:35Look, I'll be back in a jeff.
19:38Right.
19:39I've heard all about you.
19:41What about me?
19:42You and the dusky maiden.
19:44Oh, yeah.
19:45I've got to give you a bit of advice.
19:46Oh, that's great coming from you.
19:48Look, I've been around.
19:49Oh, where?
19:50The sooty show?
19:51Look, I've had my share of romance
19:52and it's obvious what you need.
19:54Is it?
19:54Yeah.
19:55An aphrodisiac.
19:56What?
19:57You know, a thing that gets them going.
19:58Oh, yeah, I know what one is, yeah.
20:00Curry.
20:01Curry?
20:02Yeah, curry.
20:04You daft, Dave.
20:05She makes it all the time.
20:06She should be attacking me in the streets by now.
20:07Look, Simon, I know that, but it needs to be tinned.
20:10Tinned?
20:10Wixie, a bottle of your oven, please, mate.
20:12Righto, mate, coming up.
20:13I'll see you later, all right?
20:14Yeah, see you.
20:15Bye.
20:16There you go, Andy.
20:17£4.95.
20:18Come on.
20:20Well, hi there.
20:21Hello.
20:22Have you a nice evening?
20:24Fine.
20:25Good.
20:25There you go, mate.
20:26Cheers.
20:26What's up?
20:27Night-night.
20:29All alone?
20:31I'm waiting for someone.
20:32You might have to sit down.
20:34Hey, solve your problems.
20:36Hmm?
20:37You know, with the bank.
20:38Oh, that.
20:40I wish I had.
20:41I'd have thought you'd have had that all sussed.
20:43Oh, I have.
20:44I've sussed out that I'm spending more than I'm earning,
20:47and I owe the bank three months mortgage.
20:49The story of my life.
20:51How do you manage?
20:53Well, I see it was one big circle.
20:55You borrow off one to pay off another,
20:57and then you borrow off them to pay off someone else, and so on.
21:00A bit like a chain letter, but with your own money.
21:03And just like a chain letter, you never get any richer, only poorer.
21:05No, sorry, Debbie.
21:07I'm in the middle of a job.
21:08I'll be back as soon as I can, all right?
21:09Don't go away, all right?
21:10Now, why don't they call in quick?
21:11I just hope he takes his time about other things.
21:14Hello, Mary.
21:15Hi.
21:15There you are.
21:16Now, you sure you don't know it?
21:17I'm sure.
21:18Oh, good.
21:19Thanks very much.
21:20I do appreciate that.
21:21Have a good time, Arthur.
21:22OK.
21:23See you.
21:26It's good of Arthur, you know.
21:28What do you mean?
21:29Here you go.
21:30Well, to trust me with Martin, not everybody would.
21:33And why not?
21:35Because the way I dress, I suppose.
21:37Oh, that does not alter you as a person.
21:39Well, I know that.
21:42So why do you dress like that, anyway?
21:44Because everyone else did.
21:46So you just followed suit, eh?
21:49Yeah, I suppose so.
21:50Never really thought about it.
21:51So it was an identity thing.
21:53If you say so.
21:54I mean, you identify with those people, with that crowd, eh?
21:57Well, it'd look a right divvy poguing up and down in a Marks and Sparks twin set, wouldn't
22:01I?
22:01Yeah, I know what you mean, love.
22:02But what about now, though?
22:04What about now?
22:05Well, you don't mix with that crowd anymore, do you?
22:07No, not since Annie was born.
22:09They don't even know I live here.
22:10So why keep dressing like you do, then?
22:13Because it's different, and because it's all I've got.
22:16What, Mary the solo punk?
22:18Yeah, that's me.
22:19Is it?
22:19I think so.
22:21Or are you just scared of change, eh?
22:23Don't you like it, then?
22:25Well, it's all right.
22:26You don't like it, do you?
22:27I didn't say that, Mary.
22:28No, but it's obvious you don't.
22:29It's just that that type of dress makes you look very aggressive, unapproachable.
22:33I don't think you are.
22:35Maybe I am.
22:37Um, maybe it's just where you're concerned that I'm not.
22:40Maybe.
22:43I hope this celebrity grammy's going to be worth it.
22:46Oh, Dad, it'll bowl you over.
22:47Who you got coming?
22:48Wogan?
22:48Wait and see.
22:49Look, now, all we've got to do now is make sure they don't cross the road before we...
22:53All right.
22:55Oh, hello, Pete.
22:56Nice to see you call.
22:57Yeah, lovely.
22:58Just take my sister up the drink.
22:59That's very decent of you.
23:00Well, nobody else is going to bother, are they?
23:02Well, I thought I'd stay in and watch a bit of tartan.
23:03I'll tell you all here, just a minute.
23:05Uh, Pauline, Pete's here.
23:06Oh, hello, Pete.
23:07Just put me back.
23:08You were attacked by dogs more than once.
23:10I'm off their drive.
23:10Oh, yeah, yeah.
23:11Okay, lovely.
23:12I hope the eggs turn out all right.
23:13What eggs?
23:14I think she must have taken up and cocked her.
23:16What?
23:17Well, she keeps talking about scrambling.
23:19Scrambling?
23:20Tell me.
23:20Shelt!
23:22Shelt, come here!
23:23Oh, Pete, go and back her up, will you?
23:25You know, Shelt can be very difficult when she wants to.
23:27All right, leave it at me.
23:28Thanks very much, Tara.
23:31How about a drink, Mum?
23:36There's no sign of them anywhere, Gav.
23:38I reckon they've done a Houdini.
23:40Okay, no point in messing about.
23:41We call it a night.
23:42Yeah, well, that suits me fine.
23:43I'll see you tomorrow.
23:50Willie!
23:56You busy tonight, then?
23:57Oh, yeah, rushed off me feet.
23:59Must be giving free beer away down for fairies.
24:01Yeah, I reckon they're giving something away down there.
24:03This is going to be some celebration.
24:05Celebration?
24:06Yeah, it's mine and Pete's birthday.
24:08The terrible twins have come of age.
24:10Birthday?
24:11Yeah.
24:12What, today?
24:13Today.
24:14Yeah, and everyone's forgot.
24:15Even Arthur forgot.
24:17Must be losing my charm.
24:18Well, then it's luck, innit?
24:20Why's that?
24:20Well, I just happened to have a bottle of bubbly down here.
24:22With which we can all have a drink to wish you all a...
24:26Happy birthday!
24:28Happy birthday to you.
24:30Happy birthday to you.
24:33Happy birthday, big morning.
24:36Happy birthday to you.
24:39Oh, you do all the time.
24:40Yeah, of course we knew, darling.
24:43Here, here's the mail you've been worried about.
24:47How long's this been planned?
24:49About a day.
24:50Well, at least this time it's a nice secret, Pete, eh?
24:53Yeah, excuse me.
24:55What?
24:56I found Willie.
24:57Sorry.
24:58I have found Willie.
25:01He's just one of a dick, isn't he, Deborah?
25:05Oh, Arthur, it's lovely.
25:07Must have cost you an arm and an egg.
25:09Well.
25:10You borrowed the money off me.
25:12Thanks, Mum.
25:15Yeah, I've got a special present for you at home.
25:18Well, you like that?
25:19That sounds interesting.
25:20Well, I managed to get that stuff for Ian.
25:21When do you think we should give it to him?
25:23Yeah, I suppose.
25:24All right, I'll go and get us behind the ball.
25:25All right.
25:26Well, it's just worrying, sir.
25:27Well, there's absolutely nothing I can do about it.
25:29I mean, you know, a policeman's lost.
25:31Yes, sir.
25:32Besides, I wanted to create a good impression.
25:34You see, there's a promotion ball coming up soon.
25:35And if I don't make a move now,
25:37I'll be stuck with a DS until I retire.
25:39There you go.
25:40For me?
25:41Yeah, but it's got your name on it.
25:43Hey, where'd you get that from?
25:44Well, I thought you'd forgotten about it.
25:46Oh, look, hey, don't open it here.
25:47Oh.
25:47Woo-hoo!
25:49Well, I thought you'd get a lot of fun out of it.
25:52Do I get the same, Cap?
25:54That's my birthday, Cap.
25:57Oh, thanks, Mum.
25:59Let's have a look, son.
26:01Let's have a look.
26:02Yeah, look at that.
26:03We mix a day to glow at the moment.
26:05Yeah, well, we can't all be lucky.
26:06No.
26:07We were only talking about it today.
26:09What did you decide?
26:10Well, to have him done.
26:11Very wise.
26:13Mary's having it done, you know.
26:15There could be an epidemic.
26:16It comes in four-year cycles, you know.
26:18Who can cough a while?
26:19Fancy drink?
26:21Yeah, a glass of wine would be lovely.
26:23You'd really love it tonight.
26:26You've said that before, five times.
26:29Where's that celebrity, Graham?
26:30There's a lot of control, don't worry.
26:32Look, if Lofty and Sharon are dressing up as Charles and Diane,
26:34I'll never forgive you.
26:37Neymar?
26:38Yeah?
26:39Do you mind if I ask you a question?
26:40No.
26:42Just hold Tim to cover it.
26:44I'll get you a drink.
26:50You'll see.
26:51Hello.
26:51You'll be nice.
26:52All right, now, let's have a little bit of ash, please.
26:54Hey.
26:56Hey.
26:56Hey.
26:59Ladies and gentlemen of Albert Square,
27:01it's birthday time for this nice pair.
27:03We wanted to give them a surprise treat,
27:05one that would knock them off their feet.
27:07So, please enter now, mystery man.
27:10And try and get him, if you can.
27:13We won't hold you in suspense too long.
27:15We know that that would be very wrong.
27:17It's not Cliff, Richard, I'll tell you that.
27:18Or Simon the Bond with a hat.
27:20Enough now of this suspense and fun.
27:22Our mystery man will just say...
27:25Hello, Mum.
27:26Hello, Mum.
27:27Hello, Mum.
27:28Hello, Mum.
27:28Hello, Mum.
27:28Hello, Mum.
27:28Hello, Mum.
27:28Hello, Mum.
27:29Hello, Mum.
27:30Hello, Mum.
27:31Hello, Mum.
