00:18Hello, all right? Still on for later?
00:21Yeah, of course.
00:22Good. Good.
00:24I've been looking forward to it, actually.
00:26Yeah?
00:27Sorry, am I not trying to do anything?
00:28No.
00:28Are you going to open up?
00:30Yes.
00:31I'll see you later, then, all right?
00:32All right.
00:33Brody, come on.
00:35Oh!
00:36Don't spoil it.
00:37I'm not going to spoil it. I like it.
00:41Dan, we are starting the lager promo today, aren't we?
00:44Yes.
00:44Yeah, we're in the excitement.
00:45You won't forget it's my afternoon off, will you?
00:47There's a load of geezers downstairs all hammering at the door trying to get in.
00:50The member of the brewery.
00:51Don't worry, Lofty, it's only a stock tape.
00:53I mean, why else do you think we're wide awake and wearing a go, eh?
00:55I mean, you are awake, are you?
00:56Well, it takes a bit of time for me blood to get going.
00:58I don't know what you're doing in the morning, you know.
01:00Want to kick out the backside, El?
01:02It didn't.
01:03It's the final of the till competition today, isn't it?
01:05Only I think I won.
01:06Later, Lofty.
01:07About three days later.
01:15Oh, I'm coming.
01:17Hang on, hang on, hang on, I'm all yours.
01:21What?
01:22Oh, right, hang on, hang on, hang on.
01:27Oh, good morning.
01:31Morning.
01:32Yeah, uh, Mr. Wilmot Brown, what a surprise.
01:35I wouldn't have thought you'd have sold your hands with a stock tape.
01:38What am I, a snob?
01:39No, no, of course not.
01:40More a mover of mountains.
01:41Quite right.
01:42The boys know what they've got to do without me.
01:44Oh, come on in, boys, this way.
01:45You're first on my list for the new promotion.
01:47Thought I'd start early.
01:48I have 12 pubs to get round this morning.
01:51Seen the adverts on the telly.
01:52Really pulling all the stops out on this one.
01:54Dan.
01:56Oh, good morning, Mr. Wilmot Brown.
01:58I always said you'd be nice to wake up to.
02:01Wake up to?
02:02Dear lady, I wouldn't let you sleep.
02:06What's the area manager doing here?
02:08The lager pram, I've told you, already upstairs.
02:11The brewery's very excited about Melbourne Star, and so am I.
02:15I'll leave this and these.
02:18Explanations later, eh, troops?
02:19I said I'd be at the beaver hat by 8.15.
02:21Stand easy till then.
02:23Cheerio.
02:23Bye-bye.
02:26If he's due up the tip, what's he doing coming here first, eh?
02:28Doesn't seem very efficient to me.
02:30No, it's bad enough having a stock tape without waiting for him to come back.
02:33I'm fed up with them blokes snooping around downstairs.
02:35It's like being burgled, having your drawers rummaged through.
02:37Now, that's plan B.
02:39Now, who do you fancy?
02:39Donald Sinden there or the boys in the basement, eh?
02:41Dan, I only have eyes for you.
02:50Is that all you can get?
02:52Look, drink boxes.
02:53We need big boxes, cereal boxes.
02:55Yeah, but it's all I could get.
02:57Look, I'm supposed to be working time.
02:58Let me borrow them in the back there.
02:58No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
02:59It's going to plug the van up.
03:00Just store them.
03:01Where?
03:02Look, you're the carnival committee chairman.
03:04You'll find somewhere.
03:05I'm fed up with everyone leaving everything to me.
03:07No one wrong here, sir, of joining in.
03:10Oh.
03:13Hey, and Lofty.
03:14What?
03:15Help Kelvin with the tie-dye.
03:17You'll be in the london at later.
03:18Oh, come on, man.
03:19Let's have some action.
03:21Come on.
03:22Lofty, where are you?
03:35I want you to go and see a doctor.
03:39Well?
03:40No.
03:42You know something's wrong, don't you?
03:44You're just frightened.
03:45I can't go and see the doctor.
03:47Think, how would I look?
03:50Just how you're going to look to your wonderful family
03:52if we don't produce the baby soon.
03:54Not a proper man.
03:55Don't open up the cap before we lose all trade.
03:57You do something if it's so important.
03:59Oh, yeah, like what?
04:00Go out onto the square and grab the first man I see.
04:01Go to the doctor's.
04:03You go, then I'll go.
04:04Sue, I fathered a son.
04:06It's you who was pregnant.
04:07It's much more likely it's you.
04:08With all that mess in there about,
04:09something's not gone back right.
04:11It happens with cars all the time.
04:13God, other people have one baby after another.
04:17Yeah, it could be me, couldn't it?
04:21Look, I'm not blaming you.
04:25So who's going to ring the doctor?
04:27Me or you?
04:35It's the spirit that can.
04:37He died, didn't he?
04:39That we might be forgiven.
04:40Yes, well, I'm sure I'm very grateful.
04:42Look, doll, I know I'm doing a sprinkling late.
04:44All it boils down to is eggs.
04:46Eh?
04:47Chocolate eggs and bunnies.
04:49Yes, well, at least he's remembered.
04:50I mean, when most people die, they've just forgotten.
04:52Ah, well, that's the beauty of Jesus.
04:54On the third day, he rose again.
04:57I don't know why he bothered, really.
04:58Not for a load of eathen.
05:00Oh, dot.
05:01There's not a respectful Easter card to be had.
05:04Yes, but at least you've had time to go and look.
05:06Busy day.
05:07It's my day to keep an eye on her in the pub.
05:10I mean, if a Christian can't help the afflicted, who can?
05:13That's why I'm in early.
05:15Will you do the start of me shit for me?
05:16Because I've got to keep me eye on Angie.
05:18Gotcha.
05:20Oh, is there any chance you're looking after these three?
05:22Well, I don't know.
05:24I mean, they'll all get vandalised if I leave them up the centre.
05:26I'm sorry.
05:27The bloke who owns the place wouldn't like it.
05:28In any ways, there's not enough room.
05:29Well, you bet it's for the carnival and that.
05:31You know, everybody getting together.
05:32Oh, come on, Mum.
05:34No, sorry, show.
05:35It's not worth me job.
05:37What about you then, Di?
05:39I mean, you've got a big flat all on your own.
05:40It's even carnival.
05:42Anyway, I've only just got straight.
05:43You want to forget all those goings on?
05:45Go home, play with your macar now.
05:47Mind me the dumb head and be stuck for macar now.
05:50Oh, I'll cut that.
05:51Them bin men, they get lacer every time.
05:53Excuse me.
05:54Oh.
05:58Hold on, no, no, rubbish.
05:59Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
06:01Get out of here, you stupid idiot.
06:03You lose your heart, you stupid idiot.
06:09So, open to suggestions?
06:10What?
06:11Oh, I'm glad you're in a good mood.
06:13You're joking.
06:14Bring me now, eh?
06:14Come on, relax.
06:16Get into the carnival spirit.
06:18Give it a rest, Tony.
06:20Yeah, and what are you going to do about it, eh?
06:22Hey, carnival.
06:24Back home, let's say, well, nine months later, lots of babies.
06:28Are you going to phone now or what?
06:30What's it look like?
06:31How about getting on a little float?
06:33Oh.
06:34Come on, if nobody joined in, where would we be?
06:36On our own, same as usual.
06:39Hello, can I speak to the doctor, please?
06:41There's nothing we can't do if we all get together.
06:43No, no, no, no, look.
06:44We'll take it, yeah.
06:45Mrs. Osman.
06:46We'll be there.
06:47Hey, great!
06:48I can put you down for the float.
06:50Look, float off, will you?
06:51Lob off.
06:51Hey, Sue, there's a cancellation.
06:53We'll see the doctor today.
06:54Yeah, we'll cancel him, will you?
06:55Who gave him the buzz?
06:56Go grinning all over the place.
06:58Hey, hey.
06:58I just thought you'd like to join in.
07:00Not in here.
07:01He's got his hat on and he's coming out to play.
07:05Could you store these for me for a bit?
07:07No, Lofty.
07:08N-O, no.
07:10Rub a bit.
07:12No, this ain't.
07:14Higher.
07:15That's it.
07:18Here.
07:19I think she's got...
07:20Oh, you, son.
07:21Who's that?
07:22You want to knock it on the edge, mate?
07:24Uncle Pete, taking an apple, all right?
07:26Yeah, all right, Shell.
07:27Look, she's entitled to look at me legs if she likes, isn't she?
07:30It's a secret.
07:37So far, so good.
07:38They'll be through by lunchtime.
07:40Relax, Den.
07:42You did move them cartons, didn't she?
07:43And the ones from the cash and carry?
07:45Yeah, ages ago.
07:46I thought I'd have to tip the bin men,
07:47but as soon as they were on the pavement, they were gone.
07:50Oh, Mr. Wilmot Brown.
07:51Sorry, I didn't see you there.
07:52You been here, though?
07:53No, just went down below to see how they were getting on.
07:56I didn't think the stock tape was your pigeon.
07:58You boys, moral support.
08:00Are these all your optics?
08:01No, I've got another right, my jumper, and one of the gents.
08:03Anything wrong?
08:03No, the boys are a bit inexperienced, that's all.
08:06Don't worry.
08:06Who's worrying?
08:11All right?
08:25I was supposed to be working there.
08:27Don't leave them there.
08:28Don't put them in the cellar, then he won't mind.
08:31But that's where they come from in the first place.
08:33Yes, love.
08:38Well, we're all ears, Mr. Wilmot Brown.
08:41Where's Lofty?
08:41He'll be here.
08:42Sorry, Mr. Wilmot Brown.
08:43Do carry on.
08:44Simon, you're paying attention.
08:46Yeah.
08:47For every pint of Melbourne Star the customer purchases, give him a kangaroo.
08:51Oh, that's nice.
08:52If they collect 12, they get a free pint.
08:54One free pint.
08:55Have you got that one?
08:56Throughout the dozen pubs in this area, all staff will offer Melbourne Star in preference
09:00to any other drink.
09:01Oh, so if they ask for a double whiskey, we serve them with a pint of lager.
09:03That makes sense, doesn't it?
09:04With any other beer.
09:05We want them buying Star for their friends, and if they're on shorts, we want them buying
09:08Star to stock up their refrigerators for in-between, okay?
09:12During the promo, all staff must offer Melbourne Star first.
09:15Each pint sold earns the customer a kangaroo sticker.
09:19It's like the post office.
09:20Staff will be under constant surveillance.
09:22Mystery drinkers will be checking the bar person's performance.
09:26Anyone failing to offer Star will find a sticker attached to the bottom of the customer's
09:29empty glass.
09:30A raspberry.
09:31Self-explanatory, I think.
09:33Sorry.
09:34Yeah, Mr. Walnut Brown had just got to the Raspberries.
09:36You see that he's filled in on the details?
09:38Yeah, I'll fill him in later, don't you worry.
09:40There'll also be spot prizes for sales personnel.
09:43If the mystery drinker is offered Star, the bar person will collect a fiver.
09:46Oh, that's nice, because I think I won this week's till competition and all.
09:50Lofty.
09:51The breweries seem to have come up trumps this time, didn't they?
09:53Yes, this is definitely the big one.
09:56A very superior product.
09:57And if it's sold by superior personnel.
10:00Well, it only leaves me to wish you luck.
10:02And tell you to go for it.
10:04And I'm due at the feathers.
10:06Go for it.
10:07Oh, and yes, there will, of course, be a champion pub.
10:10Well, that'll keep us on our toes, won't it?
10:11Yeah, a nice bit of healthy competition do us the world of good.
10:15Bye-bye.
10:18Another load of washing-up water to sell.
10:20Well, at least we've seen the last of him.
10:21It's just Bonzo there, then we'll be free.
10:24Well, come on, then, team.
10:25I'll let the punters in.
10:26Place yourselves.
10:27Stand by your pumps.
10:29Oh.
10:31So, you reckon you won a till competition, do you, Lofty?
10:33Yeah.
10:34Yeah, why not?
10:35Yeah.
10:36Ah.
10:37Mrs Dorothy Cotton, this is your lucky day.
10:39Have a pint of Melbourne style.
10:40I don't touch alcohol.
10:42Oh, will it make it better if we call it Bethlehem style?
10:45Lofty, I'll have an orange juice.
10:48We're all staff and no customers, aren't we?
10:50Relax.
10:51Now, come on, relax them shoulders.
10:52For your troubles, you live on your nerves.
10:54And when you're not living on yours, you're living on mine.
10:56We've got nothing to hide.
10:58Well, I think Bonzo there can sniff at anyway.
11:01Ah, Dave.
11:02Looks like it's going to be nice for me half new and half, doesn't it?
11:05What is this?
11:05Do I run this pub for the customers or for the past half?
11:07No, for yourself.
11:08Just add up last week's totem.
11:10I'm your best salesman.
11:11Oh, I see.
11:11You work like a blow-ass fly one week and buzz off the next.
11:13That ain't going to gain us anything.
11:14Yeah, you, not us.
11:16And here I am giving ten quid out in competitions.
11:18Look, Den, the blokes will be through in the cellar soon.
11:21You can have a go at the staff then, but not before, all right?
11:25Oh, my God, that's all we need.
11:28Are the feather shut already, Mr Collisbrook?
11:30No, no.
11:31Den, a drink for the area manager.
11:34You know, we're flattered you're spending so much time with us.
11:37Excuse me.
11:37Yes.
11:40Melbourne star all round?
11:43Listen, my dad's loopy on the idea,
11:44so right now, if he says do it, we do it.
11:47Yeah, I know, but it's going to ruin the machines.
11:48Look, it says on the instructions,
11:50machine dying works like a dream.
11:52Yeah, I know, but that's in your own home with your own machine.
11:55Well, it's a community project,
11:56so we use community facilities, right?
11:58Now, red, green, blue.
12:02I suppose the powder goes in here.
12:04All right.
12:14Can't seem to get rid of him, can we?
12:16Do you suppose he's here for the beer?
12:17Leave it to me.
12:18All right, all right, don't cry.
12:20I mean, let's have a bit of ash while the performance, eh?
12:22Yeah, I mean, you said it was brilliant.
12:23Shut up the pair of you.
12:25Just a little weekly till competition, Mr. Wilmot Brown.
12:28Den likes to keep the staff on their toes.
12:30Right, now, I know you grafted very hard last week,
12:33and I'm sure you're going to graft twice as hard for the larger promotion.
12:36But having reckoned up the till totals,
12:37the winner of this week's competition,
12:39and by a person extraordinaire, is Wixie,
12:41by a very large edge.
12:43So, Wixie gets a tenner.
12:45Better that next time, not yet, or else.
12:48Well worth a tenner, eh, to improve productivity.
12:51We didn't expect to see you again, Sustin.
12:54Nice.
12:55So you've won a tenner, son?
12:57Yes, mate.
12:58I know, just what I'm going to do with it and all.
12:59So do I.
13:00Hand it over.
13:01Debt to pay, remember?
13:02In life, you've got to go for it, haven't you?
13:04To succeed.
13:06We're terribly thrilled about the promotion.
13:08What they'd be expecting you at the Feathers.
13:10Don't let us keep you.
13:11No, that's all right.
13:11Oh, I'm sorry.
13:12Excuse me.
13:16What, another orange juice?
13:18That makes sick she'll have a ginger baby, you will.
13:21And, Doc, do us a favour, darling, don't keep staring at me.
13:23You're right putting me off.
13:30Um, what do you think of the bunting outside, Mr Wilmot Brown?
13:34Does your husband do anything you don't know about?
13:36I beg your pardon?
13:37Well, he might.
13:39Who looks after the cellar, you or him?
13:40Oh, he and Mum are public relations, meself.
13:43Freshen you up.
13:45One for the landlord.
13:47No, no, I'm afraid I don't.
13:48I'll all right.
13:48As soon as the brewery's brought out to Melbourne, I could be tempted.
13:51Been tempted by anything else?
13:54You're dozens of pale ale short, plus a couple of bottles of best brandy.
13:58But it's not you.
13:59Someone's been helping themselves to your stock.
14:01Mr Watts, the brewery do have to be sure that their publicans are in charge.
14:05Yeah, well, I just don't know what to say.
14:08Have that drink.
14:10Do you know, last week we had a publican not only deficient on his stock, but blatantly buying
14:14in from the cash and carry.
14:16The man didn't even have the intelligence to cover his tracks.
14:19Made the mistake of thinking I'm stupid.
14:22Left boxes in the cellar.
14:24The evidence.
14:25While I'm here, Mrs Watts, could I sample your excellent fare?
14:28Do what?
14:29Yeah, food.
14:30Give me some food, darling.
14:31Oh, yes, of course.
14:35Let's have a chat.
14:35What happened?
14:36Oh, we had to let him go, of course.
14:39Oh, yeah, of course.
14:40The big E, eh?
14:41Let me show you what we've got, eh?
14:45Here.
14:45You've got a very attractive wife.
14:47You don't think she's been led astray, do you?
14:49Not now, doc, please.
14:50Not now, eh?
14:51What am I supposed to be watching for?
14:53Then, I, um, I've done something earlier.
14:55I hope it's all right.
14:56There was all these, um...
14:57Please, Lofty, I'm trying to concentrate.
15:00There we go, then.
15:01That'll put airs on you, won't it?
15:04There we go.
15:05Make your didgeridoo, eh?
15:07Have you tried it?
15:10No.
15:12Well, you look like a man who's got his didgeridoo well under control.
15:17Look, it's the only place I can find, Tom.
15:19How can I stand Bill in the flood if I can't get the boxes?
15:21Well, look, it's just a little sort of atmosphere around here.
15:25All right, mate.
15:26Look, meet me out the back, eh?
15:28Okay.
15:29There are at least 20 cash-and-carry drink cartons in your cellar.
15:33Mr. Watts, have you been buying in from the cash-and-carry?
15:36What, and jeopardize my contract?
15:38I'm sure it's in.
15:39Excellent steak and kidney.
15:41East End Home Cooking at its best.
15:42Thank you very much.
15:43Are you as good at cooking a book?
15:45There is, and there's never been anybody else's booze in my cellar.
15:48All right, Mr. Watts.
15:49I'll show you exactly what's in your cellar.
15:51Look, I'm sure there's some mistake.
15:53I'll keep this warm for you, eh?
15:54And where's Lofty?
15:55Look, Den, it's all right.
15:56I'll cope.
15:57Seems like you always do, doesn't it?
15:59I thought you said you got rid of them.
16:04Sir, Simon.
16:05Come here.
16:06Do us a favour.
16:06Will you get a cap to keep that warm for us?
16:08Oh, I have a stock take.
16:09Don't ask.
16:11Lofty, where the hell you been?
16:13Um, uh, Caller Nature.
16:14How's the stock take?
16:15Don't ask.
16:16That kangaroo, what do you call it?
16:18Strong, ain't it?
16:19Oh, yeah, it makes you jump.
16:21Hey, you should try a straighter, don't you?
16:22Emigrate there, yeah.
16:23There's 20 men to every woman.
16:25Ooh.
16:28Yeah, she wants you to keep this warm for his nibs.
16:30How's the stock take?
16:31Any news yet?
16:31People don't ask at all she said.
16:33Sounds dodgy.
16:34Yeah, well, it is dodgy, innit?
16:36The old brewery's bound to suss them out one day,
16:38and it's the old Evo.
16:39Where are they now?
16:40They've gone down into the depths.
16:42I knew they were there.
16:43Anything wrong?
16:45Look, if I'm buying in cheap booze,
16:47then show me the boxes, eh?
16:48Show me the empty drinks cartons,
16:49because I can't see them.
16:50You moved them?
16:50Have I moved from here?
16:51No, it's the new boy's, innit?
16:53Trying to earn brownie points at my expense,
16:54trying to make an ordinary stock
16:55taking something spectacular.
16:56You're still short on stock.
16:58Yeah, but a few cans of lard,
16:59because nothing like the serious fiddles you're suggesting.
17:01Oh.
17:02Ange, sit down.
17:04Please, get around between the legs.
17:05Oh, it's all right, Denny.
17:06It's just shock, I think.
17:08I'm just shocked that someone could think this of us.
17:10Someone I thought of as a friend, a colleague.
17:12Someone I'd looked up to.
17:14Hey, Lofty, can you get any more boxes where they came from?
17:17I think they'll do.
17:17Uh, shut up, please, Tom.
17:19Lofty, stay where you are and don't you move.
17:21Now, what was that?
17:22What is this?
17:23What did you just ask my barman?
17:24Boxes for the carnival, why?
17:26And?
17:26Uh, I gave him the ones from the cellar.
17:28So now we know where they went.
17:30Dennis, you're making it worse.
17:32Now, Lofty, listen to me carefully.
17:34Mr. Wilmot Brown is suggesting
17:35that I'm buying cheap booze
17:36from the cash and carrying Ive
17:37and the boxes downstairs.
17:38Oh, no, no, no, they're my boxes.
17:40I've got them for the carnival and that.
17:42I couldn't find anywhere else to keep them.
17:44There, that lets us out.
17:45You work in a pub
17:46and you just happen to have collected drink boxes.
17:48Bit of a coincidence, isn't it?
17:50No.
17:52No.
17:52So where did you get them?
17:53The market.
17:54Drink boxes?
17:55They're far end of the market, by the feathers.
17:58Yeah, round by the feathers.
18:00I see.
18:01We take our carnival seriously here, you know.
18:03Yeah, really, go for it.
18:06Well, then it seems like you're both an apology.
18:08Yeah, well, there's no hard feelings
18:10on our part, Mr. Wilmot Brown.
18:11He'll be going.
18:12Yeah.
18:12Bye.
18:13I'll find the thieving council, don't you worry.
18:15No one does stand down.
18:16He didn't finish his dinner.
18:18Oh, you have it, Kath.
18:19Dinner, drink, eh?
18:20Lofty, come here before I turn you over to Fat Harry.
18:22Yeah, what you've been doing,
18:23he's going to go straight round the feathers now, isn't he?
18:25I don't care where he goes,
18:26as long as he doesn't come back here.
18:27I'll never, ever want another morning like that again.
18:44All right?
18:44Yeah.
18:45Come with her naming us,
18:46full of the hell of the road, aren't we?
18:55Hey, look, if we go now,
18:56then nobody will know it was us, eh?
18:58Yeah, look, I'm supposed to be cooking this afternoon.
19:00Just stick the sheets in that bag, right?
19:01Look, it's bleeding to death.
19:03Oh, God, is that why they call it tie-dye?
19:05So don't mess about.
19:06Soak it up.
19:07Look, how am I going to get this off?
19:08Just switch it on and let it rinse through the system.
19:10Yeah, well, I hope your dad's going to give us some money back.
19:12Oh, give us something.
19:13The stars said this weren't going to be an auspicious day for me.
19:15I should have stayed in bed.
19:17Oh, lofty, you pillow.
19:19Oh, no.
19:20Don't let her see quick.
19:21Yes, well, if the good Lord had intended it like that,
19:23we'd have been born with us.
19:25Yeah, you're right there, Miss Cotton.
19:26Yeah, absolutely right.
19:27It's the evil and ungodly practices that makes the world like what it is.
19:31Yeah, I don't think you've ever made so much sense, really, Miss Cotton.
19:34And I notice nobody goes to Sunday school no more, do they?
19:37Yeah, you're a nice boy, lofty.
19:38Hold this while I get me keys.
19:40Oh, you're bleeding.
19:41Oh, I can't stand the sort of plug.
19:43Well?
19:44Did the sheet stick all right?
19:46Shut up, Ben.
19:46Look, it's only Rick Freedom machines.
19:48Oh, nonsense.
19:49I just need to clear in here and there.
19:50All right, you have a go.
19:53Oh, what's that?
19:55Oh, my gosh.
19:56What's going on in here?
19:57Turn that thing off before it shakes itself to bits.
20:00Doc, you're supposed to be in charge here.
20:02My nerve won't stand you being critical.
20:04Look, what is going on?
20:06Well, I'm just collecting my washing.
20:07Yeah, this better be good.
20:10Oh, oh, oh.
20:12Ian, tell me this machine is full of dye.
20:15Right, right, you.
20:18Come on, kid.
20:19You haven't got all day.
20:20One more.
20:23The doctor said we had to be more patient.
20:25Only because it's easier for him.
20:26Well, at least we saw him.
20:28One minute he says I can't do it, then he says we're doing it too often.
20:31He's all right.
20:31They don't know one of here.
20:33Look, we've got an appointment at the clinic.
20:35I'll do a temperature chart.
20:37Let's look on the bright side.
20:39Can you come take this?
20:40Yes, dear.
20:41You don't look very happy.
20:42Yeah, I'm fed up.
20:43What have you got to be fed up about?
20:45The baby's almost due.
20:47Look, the doctor didn't warn us the National Health don't take infertility seriously.
20:50There are women dropping babies all over Walford.
20:52The hospital will deal with them fast enough.
20:55We've got an appointment at the clinic.
20:56I'll be too old.
20:58Do you know, there's a doctor who said cough mixture was good to clear a woman's tubes.
21:02Maybe we should get some.
21:03Yeah, let's not get desperate.
21:05We need some of that Melbourne star, you know.
21:06It's a didgeridoo.
21:07Sue.
21:08Ali, if I didn't laugh, I'd cry.
21:11It's not my phone.
21:12Well, I can't put Martin into green nappies.
21:15Come on, sit down.
21:15I want to talk to you.
21:16Oh, I can't.
21:17I'm too concerned.
21:17And I love your partner in crime.
21:19Oh, sleeping partner, more like.
21:21Well, if that's what you want.
21:22Oh, you're drunk.
21:23And you're wonderful.
21:24Yeah, and I've had a dreadful day.
21:26I mean, just look at these.
21:27Well, that changed your washing pattern.
21:29Here, I've had a bit of luck.
21:30Me little Melbourne star.
21:33Twelve lagers free.
21:34Saves a beer money, doesn't it?
21:35And it's good stuff.
21:36It makes you didgeridoo.
21:37Yeah.
21:37You try some.
21:38No, thanks.
21:38I can't tell you what it reminds me of.
21:40Look, Mum.
21:41It's good stuff.
21:42Mum, will you stop and listen to what I've got to say?
21:45Huh.
21:45I tell you, it doesn't stop after you've had the kitty.
21:47That's when it all starts.
21:49All of a sudden, you're in control.
21:51You might as well know what you're in for.
21:53I'm a kangaroo down.
21:53Mum, I've made a decision.
21:56I want natural childbirth.
21:58Yeah, that's what I thought.
21:59Right up to the second contraction.
22:00Mum, I want it at home.
22:02I'm a kangaroo down.
22:04I'm a kangaroo down.
22:10You can't.
22:11How are we going to cope?
22:13That's a bit selfish, isn't it?
22:15Shire, supposing something went wrong, you might not be safe.
22:19Mum, I didn't feel much when I got pregnant.
22:21I might as well do it properly now.
22:24Oh, you better sober up.
22:26She's having the baby at home.
22:29What?
22:30Now?
22:37Shire?
22:38It's only me.
22:39Oh, come in, sweetheart.
22:41Aye, aye, Dot, you're squiffy.
22:44It's hanging round you.
22:45It wraps off.
22:47I'm just off home, and I came up to see if you was all right.
22:51Of course I am, Dot.
22:53What is this?
22:54Well, after the square, I was worried about your state of mind.
22:57Are they?
22:57I'll make you some coffee, eh?
22:59Sober you up a bit.
23:00I've been watching you.
23:03You're very lucky I've been doing around.
23:06Nick's dad only stayed because I made him,
23:08and I was always having little fits and turns, wasn't I?
23:11So I wouldn't go.
23:13There's no pride in it, is there, keeping a man by tricks?
23:18I mean, what a woman really needs is a man who stays because he wants to.
23:23You know, a man who wants your warts and all.
23:26I mean, not that I suffer from warts, but all my other little ailments.
23:30Tell you the truth.
23:32If I had a man now, I'd still do anything to keep him.
23:37I've been studying you.
23:39You're very clever.
23:41I'm not.
23:44You've got the knack.
23:49We have locked up, you know.
23:51Oh.
23:52Do you want them to see you home, sweetheart?
23:54No, I only live round the corner now.
23:56Here.
23:57I don't know what's happened to the pair of you, but you're like a couple of lovebirds.
24:03It's all right.
24:03It's the new brew.
24:04Come on, I'll see you out.
24:05No, no, no, no, Wixie's down here.
24:07We can do it.
24:08Oh.
24:08Well, mind how you go away, darling.
24:10Yeah.
24:10Night, mate.
24:11Night.
24:13When are you going to go on the stage, then?
24:14That was the best feint I've ever seen.
24:15I wasn't acting, then.
24:17Oh, come on.
24:19Well, it's only right I should stand by you, innit?
24:22You saved my life, Den.
24:25And that's been on my conscience and all.
24:28If we could be honest about this,
24:31if Jan hadn't kicked me out of the car, well, I wouldn't have come home, would I?
24:34I wouldn't have been here now.
24:38I'd have been choosing Headstone.
24:42Well, someone would have found me.
24:46They're sure to have done, aren't they?
24:51Why take me to see your mother?
24:53I mean, that means something, doesn't it?
24:55Yeah.
24:55It means we had an horrible boring old time.
24:57I'm sorry.
24:58She must have thought we were engaged, at least.
25:00No, don't be dove.
25:01Look, I think you should tell her.
25:04I think she was shocked.
25:05No, you know.
25:06I do not, nor ever have I cared what my mum thinks.
25:09Then why take me?
25:11I don't know.
25:13I think it was seeing how Pauline felt about Mark.
25:16I thought, well, I mean, I know my mother's a silly old cow, but she's the one that had to
25:20bring me up, isn't she?
25:22I couldn't have gone there on me own, though.
25:24I should have got all picky.
25:26She couldn't have a view there.
25:28Without a bird, I'd look like a nobody, wouldn't I?
25:32You have to look like somebody, do you know?
25:34Look like you got somewhere.
25:36Then have you?
25:37Yeah, well, that's just how I'm getting there.
25:40You see, I left under a cloud.
25:41I could hardly go back there without showing I was doing all right.
25:45And being with me is doing all right?
25:47Well, yeah.
25:49See, I chose you, Nama, right?
25:52I chose you because you're different.
25:54You're different from anyone I've ever met.
25:56Yeah, I'm Asian.
25:59Ah, you're beautiful.
26:01See, I only want what's best, right?
26:03If you come from someone like Ilford, you've got to do something to make people look.
26:08What else is there?
26:10I'd love to paint you.
26:12Oh, what, am I the wrong colour?
26:13No.
26:15You've got a really beautiful face.
26:17I'd like to paint you.
26:19I've never had a white boyfriend before.
26:21Simon!
26:22It was the first time, didn't it, for everything.
26:24Look, I think I'd better go in.
26:27Yeah, I'll walk with you then, all right?
26:28Simon, is that you?
26:29It's all right. It's only across the road. I'm a big girl now.
26:31Yeah, all right.
26:32All right, be careful, wouldn't you?
26:33All right.
26:38Sorry, darling.
26:39I just wanted to check up if you'd locked up.
26:42I'd get a bit jumpy on my own at night.
26:43Yeah, didn't we all, eh?
26:45You know the night Lofty did his Carmen Miranda, Si?
26:47I was here all on my own, weren't I?
26:49Oh, yeah.
26:50Did you get back late or early that night?
26:52Look, Mrs Watts, I'm a big boy now.
26:55I don't think you should be up there listening for me, should you?
26:57Simon, did you get back late or early?
26:59No, I didn't get home at all.
27:00I was drinking with my dad and I stayed on his sofa.
27:03So if Den hadn't come home?
27:05Yeah, you'd have been on your own.
27:07Yeah.
27:08Yeah.
27:08I was drinking with my dad and I was drinking with my dad and I was drinking with my dad
27:13and I was drinking with my dad and I was drinking with my dad and I was drinking with my
27:13dad and I was drinking with my dad and I was drinking with my dad and I was drinking with
27:13my dad and I was drinking with my dad and I was drinking with my dad and I was drinking
27:13with my dad and I was drinking with my dad and I was drinking with my dad and I was
27:13drinking with my dad and I was drinking with my dad and I was drinking with my dad and I
27:13was drinking with my dad and I was drinking with my dad and I was drinking with my dad and
27:13I was drinking with my dad and I was drinking with my dad and I was drinking with my dad
27:13and I was drinking with my dad and I was drinking with my dad and I was drinking with my
27:13dad and I was drinking with my dad and I was drinking with my dad and I was drinking with
27:13my dad and I was drinking with my dad and I was drinking with my dad and I was drinking
27:13with
