00:23Which one do you like best?
00:25That one?
00:27Come on, eat up, otherwise you'll have no energy for playtime.
00:30Playtime?
00:31Well, recess, hanging out time, whatever.
00:34No one to hang out with.
00:36Well, they'll be nicer girls at school.
00:39There's still time yet, you don't break up till next week, are you?
00:42Yeah, you could invite them round over Christmas,
00:44the nice girls, not the mean ones.
00:46Right, Missy, what do you think?
00:48This sparkling dress and which shoes?
00:51These, okay.
00:53What are these?
00:55They're blue days!
00:58Christmas is gonna be rubbish.
01:00Mum locked up.
01:01Well, you'll see, eh?
01:02Not on Christmas Day.
01:04Well, we could take you to visit, couldn't we?
01:07Yeah.
01:08Did you hear that?
01:09Oh, is that the time?
01:10Right, come on, bling off, hands wash, teeth brush.
01:13Right, shoes off.
01:14Yeah.
01:15Chop, chop.
01:16What do you say that for?
01:17It might be pulled up.
01:19Pulled up?
01:20It's not La Mis.
01:25You can?
01:26Oh, you're an absolute legend.
01:27Thank you so much.
01:28I've got to go.
01:29All right, I'll see you later.
01:30Thanks.
01:31Bye, bye.
01:32Who's that?
01:33No one.
01:34I'll be home by, er, half three today.
01:36No later.
01:37You're joking, aren't you?
01:39Got Ellen Bownes in.
01:40Quarter for a curly blow.
01:41You know what she's like.
01:42No, no, it's fine.
01:43Audrey's covering.
01:44Actually, make it 20 past three.
01:45That way you can, er, freshen the old tss coffee breath.
01:49Well, I'm on a promise.
01:50Oh.
01:51Am I?
01:53Does Gran know that she's covering for, er,
01:56a little afternoon delight?
01:58Oh, don't be late.
02:04So, what's it to be?
02:06Fireworks or turtle doves?
02:09Both.
02:10Mmm, that might be a little bit tacky.
02:13Er...
02:14OK, well, turtle doves are better for the environment, so, you know.
02:17Yes, but fireworks don't plop on your head.
02:21Hmm.
02:22Fireworks.
02:23Will you, er, tell the planner?
02:25Yep.
02:26Great.
02:28Er, you crack on and get off.
02:31Oh, how long will you be?
02:33Ah, not long.
02:34The council will block the, er, development,
02:35even though it's on a brownfield site.
02:37Right, well, I'll call her now.
02:38Oh.
02:39The poor girl.
02:40Her heart sinks every time she sees it's from me.
02:43Oh, rearrange the wedding, Debbie.
02:45In three weeks, Debbie.
02:46Yes, of course, Debbie.
02:47Anything you say, Debbie.
02:50She adores you.
02:52We all do.
02:54Love you.
02:55Love you too.
02:56Love you, love you, love you.
02:57Love you.
02:58Hurry up.
02:59All right.
03:00There you go.
03:01There you go.
03:02There you go.
03:03There you go.
03:04Oh, thanks.
03:06I'm sorry.
03:07I'm sorry.
03:08I'm sorry.
03:09I'm sorry.
03:10I'm sorry.
03:11I'm sorry.
03:12Thanks, Alex.
03:31Hey!
03:34It's my favourite wedding planner.
03:37Yeah, I was just about to call you.
03:40Well, you know when I said we wouldn't be doing anything else now
03:44regarding the wedding, yeah?
03:46I lied.
03:52Hiya.
04:06I'm in the bad books.
04:08So, Carla walks me into a trap,
04:10pretends to be drunk as a skunk
04:12and I'm the one you're sulking at.
04:14No, you're not sulking.
04:16Just sick of your games.
04:18You know, and I'm sick of being stuck in the middle.
04:20You and Carla, you and Betsy.
04:22Who made me referee?
04:24It was always gonna be hard breaking up with someone,
04:26even if she wasn't right for you.
04:28I will not take relationship advice from you.
04:30Not in Carla's house.
04:32Well, I'm in your half.
04:36Not anywhere.
04:38Oh, yeah.
04:44Do you know the six root causes of clutter and how to tackle it, Roy?
04:48I can't say the vengeance.
04:50If you don't get into decluttering, you might get a taste for it.
04:52With my addictive personality, yeah.
04:54I might decal to you.
04:56Then where would you be?
04:58I'm sick of staring at the same four walls.
05:00Yeah, no way.
05:01Oh, thanks, Roy.
05:02If you're ever was right.
05:03Right, we'll have a frothy coffee for his lordship.
05:05I'll get these in, Roy, and Fizz sure don't want anything else.
05:09A couple of sticky buns.
05:10Girls will wolf them down if you don't.
05:12We can run to a couple of coffees.
05:14Ty.
05:16Cheers.
05:17Sorry.
05:18He's been on the phone all morning,
05:20trying to chase the police about the accident.
05:22It wasn't an accident.
05:23Get the hit and run.
05:25Five unreturned calls I've had.
05:27And don't say no news is good news.
05:29You'll still get compensation, though.
05:31Yeah, we should do, but it's gonna take yonks,
05:33so we're still gonna be out of pocket.
05:35Yeah, it's not compensation you want, though, is it?
05:37You want justice, right?
05:39Yeah, exactly.
05:45There's stuff here, Leah.
05:47The hospital said to bring personal stuff.
05:50Reminders of what he's got to live for.
05:55Gaffer always said she was her daddy's girl.
05:57Mm-hmm.
05:58I love Ambleside, me.
06:00Coniston.
06:01Is it?
06:02I don't know why I said Ambleside.
06:04I suppose that'll be the house hunting on hold.
06:08Not till he gets back on his feet.
06:10Who bought it last year?
06:12What, this place?
06:15Thanks for this.
06:17I'll tell Jerome you're asking after him.
06:19Yeah.
06:20Yeah.
06:21Here we go.
06:28DC Green.
06:34Can you pass me some more envelopes, please?
06:36Okay.
06:37Well, no flies on you, Debs.
06:38Thanks.
06:40Well, there's one here that's killing me.
06:42I know you said you wanted fireworks, but, Deb, I'm...
06:46Well, just let me explain myself.
06:48Abby ripped the family apart.
06:50Oh?
06:51Well, I mean the woman now, are we?
06:52Well, I'm...
06:53I better get to work.
06:55Whatever her reasons, Jack and Alfie lived like brothers.
06:58Now they're split too, you know?
07:01Do you not think I've fretted over this?
07:03If the wedding was like a year away once the dust is settled, but it's next month...
07:09Deb, you have?
07:10Do not be saying this is my illness talking.
07:13Okay, okay.
07:14Kevin won't stand for it, and we shouldn't ask him to either.
07:20Yeah, but we are where we are.
07:23It's not just some one-night stand, is it? They're living together.
07:26And Abby did help find the venue for us.
07:29Carl's gonna want her there by his side.
07:32So you want Carl there more than Kevin?
07:34No!
07:36That's what this is saying.
07:38I want both of them there, walking me down the aisle.
07:44Oh, Ronnie.
07:47This wedding, it's about us, isn't it?
07:51Eh?
07:52Me and you.
07:54It's a celebration of our life together.
07:57Now, let's have it right.
07:58Kevin and Carl, they grown-ups, aren't they?
08:01Are you telling me they're not going to just be civil with each other for one day?
08:06One day?
08:08Well, surely they can do that.
08:11Eh?
08:12For me.
08:13What?
08:14I had to leave my lap.
08:15I'll charge you here.
08:16Oh, I've both set the hotel under the screen.
08:17I'm just in the middle of a rather large and longish border.
08:18Oh, okay.
08:19I'll wait, I'll wait.
08:20Oh, it's not here.
08:21Mrs Connor joined the planning committee at 12.51 hours.
08:22What?
08:23Minute that.
08:24I'm not minuting anything.
08:25Party checklist.
08:26You said people could leave early so Falk had time to get doled up.
08:27If you don't believe me, Fizz was there.
08:28I believe you.
08:29Well, you've been a bit of a rap, er, off-radar lately.
08:31Was she going to say I'm a rap bag, then?
08:32I think she was saying that, yeah.
08:33Here we are.
08:34One.
08:35Launcher order and...
08:36Cheers, Roy.
08:37See you under the glitter bar, Mrs C.
08:38Yeah.
08:39Maybe I should go off to Lanzarote, by myself.
08:40To that hotel.
08:41Give me a head a wobble.
08:42You know what?
08:43The hotel was...
08:44I don't know.
08:45I don't know.
08:46I don't know.
08:47I don't know.
08:48You said people could leave early so Falk had time to get doled up.
08:50If you don't believe me, Fizz was there.
08:51I believe you.
08:52Well, you've been a bit of a rap, er, off-radar lately.
08:54Was she going to say I'm a rap bag, then?
08:56I think she was saying that, yeah.
08:57Here we are.
08:58One.
08:59Launcher order and...
09:00Cheers, Roy.
09:01See you under the glitter bar, Mrs C.
09:02Yeah.
09:03The hotel.
09:04Give me a head a wobble.
09:05You know what?
09:06The hotel with Spenny could salvage something, couldn't it?
09:09Mm-hmm.
09:10Do you mean, mm-hmm?
09:12What's that mean, spit it out?
09:14Well, er...
09:16To leave home for a night after an argument is one thing.
09:20To go for a fortnight sends a completely different message.
09:24What?
09:33Oh, come on, pick a side.
09:52Daddy's home and there's a party in his...
09:55Oh, no, he really does not know.
09:56Surprise!
09:57What are you lot doing here?
09:59We'll read the room.
10:00Yeah, literally.
10:01We're having a baby shower!
10:03Yay!
10:04Since when?
10:05Since this week, when she had the brainwave.
10:07Yeah, careful.
10:08They're lethal.
10:09But more-ish.
10:10A toast.
10:11To our little fighter.
10:13Aw.
10:14Cheers.
10:15Cheers.
10:16Cheers.
10:17Cheers.
10:18Hey, did you switch the hot water on?
10:24Because flipping Kirk's built a whole sachet of vinegar down me.
10:30I just rung the prison.
10:33No visiting on Christmas Day.
10:35Well, it's full.
10:36Mm-hmm.
10:37They don't do it anymore.
10:38They can't get the stuff.
10:39They don't want to be at home with their families.
10:41Go on.
10:42Say it.
10:44Told you so.
10:46Well, you meant well.
10:48Don't be nice to me, Tim.
10:49I'm an idiot.
10:51First rule of parenting is don't promise something you can't deliver.
10:56Well, the kids will understand.
10:58No, they won't.
10:59They're going to be devastated.
11:01Yet another adult who's let them down.
11:04Why don't you go and run a bath and I'll bring you a nice glass of wine?
11:08No, I'm not swanning off to some party.
11:11Well, you organised it.
11:13What, break their hearts and then waltz off in sequins?
11:18Well, we'll tell them tomorrow.
11:20One more night won't hurt, will it?
11:22No, Tim.
11:23This is my mess and I need to be here to mop it up.
11:27Me own sister's wedding.
11:30I don't need an invitation.
11:32How did you expect me to invite you then, eh?
11:35WhatsApp?
11:36Well, it can fight for attention along with all three of me Christmas cards.
11:41One of them's off the dentist.
11:43I'm still going to need you to RSVP me for the caterers.
11:48Yeah, I'm coming.
11:49Of course I'm coming.
11:50What, you want him to walk you down the aisle?
11:55Well, even I'll admit, he'll look better on the photos.
11:59No, it's, erm...
12:01It's not that.
12:03I wanted to ask you...
12:06Can I put Abby on the invitation?
12:11Carl's invitation is plus one.
12:14Well, it must have crossed your mind.
12:16No.
12:17Kev, they're living together. It's not just some flash in the pan.
12:22And you're me only sister, mind you.
12:24He's always been your blue eye.
12:26No, he hasn't.
12:27I love both of you.
12:29I can't.
12:31Well, just think about it.
12:33Yeah?
12:34I mean, I don't know how much longer my memory's gonna last.
12:40Don't.
12:41Don't use the dementia.
12:43How can I not?
12:46It's one day.
12:48A few hours out of your life.
12:50No!
12:51It'll be hell.
12:52A lot can change in a month.
12:55You might have met someone by then.
12:58I know it's unfair, Kev, but life is unfair.
13:02Right, do you know what I'm gonna do?
13:04I'm gonna beg you.
13:06Kevin.
13:08Please come.
13:10Please come to my wedding.
13:11For me?
13:13Kevin, please!
13:16Go ahead.
13:18Invite her.
13:22But don't expect me there.
13:45You scared me.
13:58You scared me.
14:04You're back.
14:07She's at the gym.
14:09You want something?
14:11Do I want something while I only just...
14:14...come home to, you know, where I live?
14:17Ouch.
14:18Mm-hmm.
14:20Ooh!
14:21Actually, if you are back, the washing machine needs sorting.
14:24All my clothes are kinda smelly musty.
14:27Are they now?
14:29I'll ask Jeeves to have a look at it.
14:31Thanks.
14:32How long might she be at the gym?
14:35Honestly, no clue.
14:37But then again, I have no clue about anything.
14:41Like you.
14:43And her.
14:47Well, you made it pretty clear which side you're on that ain't mine.
14:51And not having a pop.
14:55Because I love you.
14:57I love you.
14:59And you know, I'm glad that you've been able to give your mum a move on.
15:04It's a good thing.
15:06Isn't it?
15:11Yeah.
15:15But you know, you...
15:17...your mum, Lisa...
15:22...she's got a lot of battle scars.
15:25And you know, when you fly the nest...
15:28...I really want to make sure that she's okay.
15:31That's all.
15:39I'll take this stuff upstairs.
15:41Erm...
15:43Can you ask Jeeves if he can help me with my coursework?
15:46Because it's due next Friday and I can't be bothered.
15:47Well do.
15:50Go on.
15:54Go on.
15:55Go on.
16:03Yuck.
16:05Never should have left.
16:09Showing the number five.
16:11Oh, sorry Gary, love, you're not on there.
16:13Oh yeah. If we'd have had more time, we would have asked Anna.
16:16Don't worry about it. Get in!
16:18I mean, that's not even me.
16:20Yeah, it is.
16:21It's Nick.
16:23I mean, there's no baby pictures of me.
16:25Third child syndrome, innit?
16:26That a thing.
16:28Aw, well your third child's gonna have photographs taken up a 24-7.
16:32You've been in one of these before?
16:35No.
16:36No, it's women's stuff, innit?
16:38Bit like, er, bottomless brunch.
16:41But, what do I know?
16:42I'm just a caveman, according to Maria.
16:45Right.
16:47Oh, no, no, no, don't be bending.
16:49No, don't be doing that.
16:51So, what does the winner get?
16:53Er, godmother.
16:54Why not?
16:55Well, I'm winning then.
16:56I'm winning this.
16:57OK.
16:59Was there any wonder she wanted to keep it a surprise?
17:00What's up with your face?
17:02What?
17:03What then?
17:04Would you not think we deserve a bit of fun?
17:07What, after finding out the baby's at a risk?
17:09All right.
17:10She's a baby first, she's at a risk second.
17:13Is this Nick's doing?
17:14Mr Doom and Gloom?
17:15What's he been saying?
17:17No.
17:18I mean, is this Bethany's doing?
17:19What are folk me saying to you to make you want to do this?
17:22Look, I get it, all right?
17:23And we'll play along like everyone else, but I mean, it's just...
17:27What, tempting fate?
17:29No, just icky.
17:31Icky?
17:32Yeah.
17:33Like, forced.
17:34Weird.
17:36I mean, just read the room.
17:40Maria's got it.
17:41Are you going to have to go?
17:42Oh, David needs to go.
17:43Yeah, yeah.
17:44Come on, you get to be gone.
17:45We'll get you on.
17:46See you later.
17:56Company director, Miss Leah Costello.
18:01Laney NW Incorporated only.
18:16Carly, it's Kit.
18:17Ring me back as soon as you get this.
18:18The Costellos bought a house last year, Ravensgill on Coniston Lakefront, just shy of a million quid.
18:33It was registered to a limited company with Leah as the director.
18:37Right?
18:38But just wait for the best bit.
18:39The company was incorporated in 2021 on the 17th of December.
18:44That's a week after Becky's death.
18:47It's a bit of a coincidence, eh?
18:49Just ring me back.
18:50Okay, then.
18:51Ding, ding.
18:52Second's out.
18:53I'm on two.
18:54I've not come to fight.
18:55I haven't.
18:56In fact, I...
18:57I was going to jet off to Lanzarote, but...
18:58Wow.
18:59Waste not, won't it, eh?
19:00But I didn't.
19:01I didn't because I...
19:04I know this is where I belong.
19:07At home with you.
19:08I love you.
19:09I think I always will.
19:13I love you too.
19:14I love you too.
19:16And I don't know, but I don't know.
19:17I was going to jet off to Lanzarote, but...
19:20Wow.
19:21Waste not, won't it, eh?
19:22But I didn't.
19:23I didn't because I...
19:24I know this is where I belong.
19:27At home with you.
19:29I love you.
19:30I think I always will.
19:33I love you too.
19:38Never stopped.
19:43I didn't think I was a needy person, but I guess I am with you.
19:52But, um...
19:54I was kind of hoping for...
19:58Some kind of sign.
20:03Of you to...
20:04To show me that...
20:07This all is worth hanging on for.
20:12Do you ever wonder what it's like to be me?
20:14Do you think I really want to live like this?
20:16I just think we need to have each other's backs.
20:18Well, if you really had my back, then you would ease off a bit, wouldn't you?
20:22You'd have trusted me, but you don't.
20:25You just want to manage me like one of your machinists.
20:28That's not fair.
20:30You love me, Carla, but not in the way that I need right now.
20:33I'm sorry.
20:34How's...
20:35How's that?
20:36It's just...
20:37It's difficult to explain.
20:38Well, try.
20:39Well, maybe with a bit more understanding.
20:41Lisa, I literally bend over backwards for you.
20:43I mean, I'm a mug, but I do it because it makes your life easier.
20:48Well, let's just admit it.
20:56We've seen the worst of each other and now we can't go back.
20:58I guess we can.
20:59Of course we can.
21:00Carla, we're chasing a dream, aren't we?
21:02What?
21:03And when we're apart, this all seems possible, but then as soon as we're back in the same room together, I mean, look at us.
21:07Look at us.
21:09Look at us.
21:15I'm done.
21:17We're done?
21:19You're saying we're done?
21:21Lisa?
21:27Sorry.
21:38What is wrong?
21:56I'm done.
22:02What do I do?
22:03Oh, Mrs. Connor, are you missing Secret Santa?
22:32It's your turn.
22:33You have it, Kirk.
22:34It's just a Malbec.
22:35Hey, how did you know that?
22:38Pick me on me, might be out.
22:40It's the Christmas party.
22:42I know, I've just got a bit of salt out here.
22:44You are going to come to the bistro later though, aren't you?
22:47Maybe, yeah.
22:49Canaries.
22:50Very nice.
22:51Nice little Christmas treat.
22:53Quite decided, yeah.
23:02Sorry, guys.
23:03Do you mind if I just chill?
23:04Oh, sorry, sorry.
23:05Canaries?
23:06I didn't know she liked birds.
23:09Carla, it's Kit.
23:10Bring me back as soon as you get this.
23:13Costello's bought an house last year, Ravensgill on Coniston Lake.
23:17Is that what you want?
23:23Sweetheart, none of this is what I really want.
23:26But we just can't keep having the same arguments over and over and over again.
23:30It's exhausting.
23:31Yeah.
23:32I'm not surprised.
23:34I've got it.
23:36Obviously.
23:37But it's just, it's infuriating.
23:39Talking about me?
23:41No.
23:42Not this time.
23:45Carla?
23:46What happened?
23:48Same thing that always happens.
23:55I'm sorry.
23:56But I'm sure you can reason with her.
23:58Oh, don't pretend like this isn't exactly what you wanted.
24:04That ship has sailed.
24:08Or should I say plane?
24:10What do you mean?
24:11She'll be on her way to the airport now.
24:13She's going to Landerotti.
24:15What, on her own?
24:20Merry Christmas, Lees.
24:24Maybe this is for the best.
24:26Yeah.
24:27Well, you would say that, wouldn't you?
24:28Forget about me and you.
24:29Look, this whole thing is seriously stressing you out.
24:31A break from each other is probably exactly what you two need.
24:34Oh, she does have a point.
24:41Hiya.
24:42Hi.
24:43Don't go rummaging in the fridge.
24:45You'll spoil your tea.
24:46What we having?
24:47I don't know.
24:48Well, might just have a yoghurt.
24:50I said leave it!
24:52What's up with you?
24:54Your Auntie Debbie wants us all to go to a wedding.
25:00And?
25:01All of us.
25:02Me, you, Abbie, your Uncle Carl.
25:05So what?
25:06So I'm not in a mood for partying with them two right now.
25:09Who cares about what you want?
25:12Excuse me?
25:13I feel bad for you, Dad.
25:17But it's Auntie Debbie's wedding.
25:20You need to show her that you care about what she wants.
25:27You might not get many more chances.
25:34I don't know how to give up.
25:35Oh, no, Gary, you can't, cos then Davey's team wins.
25:37It stinks, Sarah.
25:39Come on, Gary, we've all been there.
25:40You've had strawberry jam.
25:42Yeah, and I ate strawberry jam.
25:44Razz me till I die.
25:46Hmm.
25:47Since when?
25:48Well, mine was fine.
25:49Hummus.
25:50Yeah, all the vegan ones smell nice.
25:52Top up.
25:53Oh, my God, I'm so sorry.
25:54I wasn't thinking.
25:55What you want?
25:56I've got apple cheese.
25:57I don't know, is it?
25:58Anchovies.
25:59No.
26:00You lose, we win.
26:01Do you hear that, babe?
26:02We're the champion nappy sniffers.
26:04Did that sound better in your red?
26:06So what was it?
26:07Peanut butter.
26:08Oh, that?
26:09That was not peanut butter.
26:10Right, let's do the presents.
26:12Says here, six peanut butter.
26:14It was peanut butter, but I added a few extras for Gary.
26:17Like what?
26:18Nothing, just fish paste, vinegar, chilli sauce and an egg.
26:22Ew!
26:23Why would you do that?
26:24David!
26:25What?
26:26I mean, the egg was fresh, nearly.
26:27Come on, forget rotten eggs, let's go and do prezzies.
26:28I'm not going to use a good egg, am I?
26:29Well, you didn't have to use any eggs, Dave.
26:31Oh, gross.
26:32OK, so I think this is Toya and Nick, yeah?
26:34Mm-hm.
26:35But you've already got us something.
26:36Oh, it's just a little something extra.
26:37Ooh.
26:38Ooh.
26:39Spa vouchers, thank you.
26:42Honestly, it's amazing.
26:43And the rest wants to die for, isn't it?
26:44Yeah, well, he could do with a parsnip.
26:46I'll send the chef on a scouting mission.
26:48Can't wait.
26:49Right, this one, not sure.
26:51Oh, yeah, no, that's from us.
26:52No, that's from us.
26:53Oh, baby.
26:54Oh.
26:55Ooh.
26:56Oh, like a baby grow thing.
27:00Oh, Wethy County.
27:01Oh, that's so cute.
27:03Yeah, it really is.
27:04Oh, look, look.
27:05I'll pop the receipt in the bag for you.
27:07The receipt?
27:08Well, you never know, she might be a United fan.
27:10Why would I need a receipt?
27:13I don't know, just, like, in case it doesn't fit or something.
27:16I don't know, I mean, it looks like it could fit a three-month-old, you know,
27:19she's going to grow into it eventually.
27:21I'm sorry, I just say always get a good receipt.
27:23You know what, will you just get out?
27:24What?
27:25No, all of you, just go, will you?
27:26Look, you're all acting like the baby is dead already.
27:29Will you just go?
27:30No, no, no, no, no.
27:31Just go!
27:32Calm down.
27:33You all go!
27:38No, I'm afraid the coffin gets cremated too.
27:42I'm not sure why you'd want to keep it.
27:46A bulk case?
27:48Look, Mrs Maguire, I'm going to have to go.
27:50I've just got another customer in.
27:52And I saw your husband a couple of days ago.
27:54He looked an extremely good health.
27:56So maybe we should be having this discussion a bit further down the line, love.
27:59Yeah, no.
28:00Goodbye, Mrs Maguire.
28:02Oh, honestly.
28:03Now, now, now.
28:04This is no way to drum up business, is it?
28:06Oh, Chrissie, it's been non-stop all day long.
28:09I used to hand these cranks over to Togs, he was so good with them.
28:11What can one do?
28:13Well...
28:14Yeah, that was a rhetorical question, love.
28:17Come on.
28:18You've helped out before.
28:20How about your pitch in, but in a more official capacity?
28:24Oh, Ray.
28:25Comforting grieving widows ain't exactly my idea of fun.
28:28That's not really meant to be fun, is it?
28:30It's a no from me, darling.
28:32Besides which, we both know that this is not about you trying to recruit a new undertaker.
28:37Isn't it?
28:38Yeah.
28:39Even if I started working here full-time, it wouldn't solve your problem.
28:43What is my problem?
28:46You're still worrying about Todd.
28:52Pint lender, please.
28:53Right, love.
28:56Thanks for coming.
28:57What do you want, Kev?
28:58I've got a wedding to plan, whether you're coming or not.
29:01I am.
29:03What?
29:04Look, if Abby and Carl's there, well, it's your big day.
29:11What?
29:12Really?
29:14You're coming?
29:15Thank you so much.
29:17Just don't expect me to be palling up with either of them.
29:20Oh, no.
29:21No, no, no.
29:22Not at all.
29:23Just as long as you're there.
29:24No, I wouldn't miss it for anything.
29:26You'd have thought this had happened, eh?
29:29It's a miracle you found someone who actually wants to marry you.
29:31I'd tell you off, but I know you're right.
29:36Oh, Kev.
29:39From the bottom of my heart.
29:40It's fine.
29:43Right, well, I best crack on, haven't I?
29:46I've got one very special place setting to cater for now.
29:52I love you.
29:54Love you, sis.
29:56See you later.
29:57Hmm.
30:00You're a good man.
30:01It's on the house.
30:06We're back.
30:08I made you a flower.
30:09Oh, thank you.
30:12She wants you to pin it on your party frock.
30:14Aw, thank you so much, but I don't think I'm going to go to the party.
30:18Why not?
30:19Because we're not allowed to go see Mum in prison.
30:20What?
30:22Well, you told them.
30:24No, of course not.
30:26Every time we mentioned Mum, he'd change the subject.
30:28It was obvious it was hiding something.
30:30Girls, no-one is allowed to visit on Christmas.
30:32It's just a rule they have.
30:34Yeah, we'll go as close to the big day as possible, I promise.
30:38You promised we'd see her on Christmas Day?
30:40Come on, let's sit at the table.
30:45I think you should go to the party.
30:48Do you?
30:50I don't think I should.
30:52But you look pretty in your party dress.
30:59Well, if you think I should go, I will.
31:03Come here.
31:04No, after the meal, I'm gone.
31:10I'm not going to stick around and watch him and her smooching on the dance floor.
31:14Shame.
31:16I was hoping to see your take on the locomotion.
31:19Ah, well, no.
31:20Once I've done my duty, I'm out of there.
31:22Just make me see how you feel on the day.
31:25Carl being invited, I get his blood.
31:29Looks like I'll be seeing you at the wedding then.
31:31Eh?
31:34Debbie wants us all there, me, you and Carl.
31:37Really?
31:38Yeah, so try not to ruin that marriage as well, eh?
31:41What can I get you, Abba?
31:43Er, yeah, I was just wondering, erm...
31:46I don't suppose you've got any shifts going spare, do you?
31:50Well, I wouldn't have thought so.
31:52I can double check with Eva in the back, but I'm pretty sure the answer will be a big fat one.
31:57Could you check, please?
31:59Grab a seat.
32:02Really?
32:04What, I just thought...
32:05So that's it then, nothing?
32:07Cheers.
32:09Oh, right, well, Merry Christmas to you two.
32:12What's up?
32:14Police.
32:16They've dropped my case.
32:17Are you joking?
32:18No.
32:19Turns out you can just leave someone for dead and get away with it.
32:22Have they said why?
32:23No evidence.
32:24So unless the driver walks into the station and gives a confession, he'll get off scot-free.
32:29I'm sorry, mate.
32:31Hey, you've got your own worries.
32:33Yeah, well, I know who's to blame for mine.
32:37Sorry.
32:38No.
32:41Figures.
32:42Thanks for asking.
32:44You've got to admit, it smells pretty fishy.
32:46It seems like a trollman's bin, but the point is, I'm done, I told you.
32:49Well, just speak to Costello one more time.
32:52I mean, I'd do it myself, but I'm not 100% sure he'd trust me.
32:54Oh, he's not capable.
32:56Gala, come on.
32:57Look, even if we found a big bag marked swag with Becky's fingerprints all over it, she'd
33:02still worm her way out.
33:03I mean, she's always one step ahead.
33:06Everyone's got the breaking point.
33:07Well, I might have, you might have, but her?
33:10There's not a hole that she can't worm her way out of.
33:13I mean, just look.
33:15Dying didn't work.
33:17So you're just going to give up?
33:18No, she's won.
33:19All right?
33:20That's it.
33:22Do you know the way Sarah talks about you?
33:23You think you were fearless?
33:25Yeah, maybe I was once.
33:26So what are you going to do now?
33:28I've got my soap.
33:29We're trying to fly to Lanzorati tonight, and the only thing I've got to really worry about
33:32is if I give myself an upgrade.
33:33Carla, we're so close.
33:34You're on your own.
33:37See, I don't believe you.
33:38This is the one chance to get Lisa back, and you're not even going to try.
34:02Hey, it's Carla Connor again.
34:06Lisa Swain's part of me.
34:10I didn't expect you thought you'd seen the last of me, eh?
34:15Costello.
34:16Remember yesterday when I asked you about Becky?
34:24You kind of gave me a message.
34:27Hill.
34:29Yeah?
34:30Rhubarb.
34:32Yeah.
34:34OK, I have no idea what they mean.
34:36OK, do they belong to a password for your laptop or something?
34:41Or like a code of a kiss you were working on?
34:47Please.
34:48Pardon?
34:49Say again.
34:50Please.
34:52They call it word salad.
34:54Sorry?
34:56The stroke.
34:57Even if he knows what he wants to say, the wrong word can still come out.
35:01Right.
35:08You staying long, love?
35:10Can I get you a cup of tea?
35:11No.
35:13It's OK.
35:14I'll get one on the plane.
35:19Good luck, mate.
35:20Hi, Carla.
35:21I've just been to the factory and it's all locked up, so...
35:36Well, I'm guessing you're on your way to the airport then.
35:40Look, please.
35:43Don't get on that plane.
35:46The...
35:48The thought of spending Christmas without you here, I just...
35:52I just can't leave things the way we did.
35:57I love you.
36:01And I can't bear the thought of not having you in my life.
36:05Please.
36:07Call me back.
36:08Oh, that's brilliant.
36:14I reckon I'd make a good samsung.
36:18I think that job's taken.
36:20No, like when he retires.
36:22You have to be part elf to qualify for that.
36:26Oh, go on, Kirk.
36:28Tell us why you think you'd be good at it.
36:30We've got a lot in common.
36:31Oh, like what?
36:33We're both delivery men for a start.
36:34Oh, yeah, that's true.
36:35Yeah, so I know all the shortcuts around here.
36:39Yeah, that wouldn't help much in Australia.
36:41And I like milk and biscuits.
36:44Stretching it now.
36:46And he's got a reindeer called Donna, and I live above Prima Donna.
36:52The job's as good as yours, Kirk.
36:54Wait, you don't think Donna meat is made from reindeer, do you?
36:59No, definitely not, Kirk.
37:01Hey, everyone, how was the meal?
37:02Yeah, I thought it was great, yeah.
37:04Yeah, eh, how was Shona's baby shower?
37:06Oh, it was more of a storm than a shower.
37:10Where's Colin?
37:11Well, she could be anywhere over the Mediterranean by now.
37:14What? According to these two, she's gone to the Canaries.
37:17Yeah, Lanzarote.
37:19Right.
37:20She did promise us a couple of free drinks.
37:21Oh, yeah.
37:22Yeah, she did.
37:23Company credit card, please.
37:25Oh, yes, I bought it.
37:27Push on pain.
37:29Why are they called Reindeer anyway?
37:32Shouldn't it be Snow Day?
37:34Oh, Kirk.
37:38I apologise to Maria.
37:39I think she knows you weren't shouting at her, really.
37:45I think it's yourself you need to have a word with.
37:55Look, I'll agree to do all the normal stuff, right?
37:59All the milestones, all the appointments, all normal, right?
38:03If you agree that it's okay to be scared.
38:10I'm not scared.
38:12Well, it's all right if you are.
38:13No.
38:15I can't be scared.
38:17Why not?
38:18Because if I'm scared, it's like admitting that it could happen.
38:22Well, I thought you were being realistic.
38:24Well, I lied.
38:28Well, I'm scared.
38:30You know, we can be scared together.
38:34So, what's the next class?
38:39Centenatal class at the community centre.
38:43Hmm.
38:45What's that like, stretching or not?
38:48Probably a bit of that.
38:50You don't have to come.
38:52Try and stop me.
38:59Hi.
39:00How are you all back early?
39:01Curly?
39:02Yeah, I thought I might catch the girls before bedtime.
39:05Oh, well, Shanice is fast asleep and Joni's not been downstairs since she left.
39:11Well, you can hardly blame. I should probably think she's been punished.
39:15What, by us?
39:16Well, I suppose punishment is the only language she knows.
39:21She was taken away from Shanice and her parents were taken away from her.
39:24All she can see is the world trying to hurt her.
39:27Well, we'll have to show her that she's wrong then, won't we?
39:30How?
39:31I don't know.
39:32But if we can't get a couple of kids to love Christmas, we need to take a long, hard look at ourselves.
39:36Hmm.
39:37Hey.
39:38Where are you off to?
39:39Airport.
39:40What, why?
39:41Well, I need to stop her.
39:42Do you even know what flight she's on?
39:43Yeah, I've checked.
39:44There's only one today.
39:45Okay, wait.
39:46Have you thought this through?
39:47What is there to think about?
39:48I don't want her to go.
39:49So what?
39:50You're just going to turn up and make a big scene at the airport?
39:51Do you think that's what she wants?
39:52Well, I need to do something.
39:53Okay, just take a breath.
39:54Like, why don't you try phoning her?
39:55No, I've already tried that.
39:56I need to see her in person.
39:57I just don't think that's a good idea.
39:59Yeah, well, what's your text?
40:00When?
40:02Five minutes ago.
40:04What does it say?
40:06And what does it say?
40:07No, I've already tried that. I need to see her in person.
40:10I just don't think that's a good idea.
40:12Yeah, well, what's your text?
40:15When?
40:19Five minutes ago.
40:23What does it say?
40:29Enjoy Christmas with Becky and Betsy.
40:33I'm going on holiday.
40:34Please, stop calling me.
40:43No.
40:44Come, come, come over.
40:46Come here, it's OK.
40:55You don't understand it.
40:56I understand it, all right. I just don't like it.
40:58What? Explain it to me now.
41:00There's the sound of a clapped-out diesel engine hooked up to a fax.
41:04Maybe Philistine.
41:05That is no way to talk about industrial technology.
41:08What's the industry?
41:09Air plug makers?
41:11I don't care what it is. I'm not having it at my wedding.
41:15Sorry, I'm late.
41:16Oh, here she is.
41:17Hey, have you told me?
41:18No, not yet.
41:19What, about us all going to the wedding?
41:20Yeah, I walked into Kev earlier.
41:22Yeah.
41:23Look, are you sure about it?
41:24Fireworks usually happen outside the venue.
41:26Oh, yeah, that's what we said, isn't it?
41:28Look, if you don't want to go, then...
41:30No, of course I do. I'm just...
41:33I'm just not sure if I should.
41:35Well, I want you there.
41:38Both of you.
41:39Well, then I would love to.
41:44You don't look very happy about it.
41:46Oh, no, I am. I really am.
41:48It's just, I, er...
41:50Bumped into Tyrone earlier.
41:52I feel so bad for him.
41:54The police have dropped his case.
41:56I suppose there's not much you can do with a hell of one without a suspect.
42:00So that's it, then? It's all over?
42:02Officially?
42:03Yep.
42:04No evidence, he said.
42:06Oh, poor Tyrone.
42:09He might never know who nearly killed him.
42:16What are you up to?
42:17Just from me drone.
42:18Oh, yeah, for your geography project.
42:21How's it going?
42:22Yeah, good.
42:23But me and Jack have got tons of footage.
42:25Good.
42:26Well, I hope it's useful for you.
42:27Hey, Gary.
42:28All right, then?
42:29How was your baby shower?
42:31Oh, don't ask.
42:32Oh, no, I've got to know.
42:34Yeah, well, let's just say you've probably been to more light-hearted funerals.
42:36Oh.
42:37Oh, dear.
42:38Oh, erm...
42:39You hadn't spoke to Todd today, have you?
42:41No.
42:42Why?
42:43Because I was running past the flat before and thought I heard some slamming.
42:46Slamming?
42:47And some shouting.
42:48Probably nothing.
42:49In fact, it might have been coming from the corner shop now, I think about it.
42:53Nice one, mate.
42:54Right.
42:55Come on, drone boy.
42:56Let's get you home.
42:57See you, guys.
42:58Bye.
42:59See you, lads.
43:00Bye, lovely.
43:01I think, erm...
43:03I think perhaps it's time you made that call, love.
43:06Bye.
43:07No.
43:08No.
43:10No.
43:11No.
43:12No.
43:13No.
43:14No.
43:15No.
43:16No.
43:17No.
43:18No.
43:19No.
43:20No.
43:21No.
43:22No.
43:23No.
