(Apologies, but for those looking for Episode 4 it seems to of disappeared for reasosn as yet unknown to me. I shall see if I can find out what the problem is and try to get it uploaded again after I've uploaded the rest of Series 1 in the next 2 or 3 days. Sadly this does seem to be a habit - or occupational hazard - of Dailymotion with some of my videos sometimes).

00:00One, two, three, four, five.
00:06Best of three, best of three.
00:13You're not ready for me yet.
00:16Hang on, they're here.
00:19Bloody hell, they're early.
00:23So what are you going to tell them?
00:26Joe?
00:27It's going to be fine.
00:29We can make it fun, exciting.
00:32Hey, we're moving into our new home.
00:34This is what we've been waiting for.
00:37Okay, I know it's not ideal, but we've got to do this.
00:44You say something.
00:49At least we found a parking space.
00:53Just apologise, they'll be fine.
00:55I mean, it's not as if you haven't been trying to find a strap.
00:58All right, relax, it's not a problem.
01:04But I mean, they're expecting the whole house to be rewired.
01:09And it will be.
01:11Now come and welcome Mr and Mrs Atkins to their new home.
01:17Hello there.
01:19Just stopped work for a minute.
01:21Thought we'd wish you all the best, Nala.
01:23All the best.
01:24Oh, that's nice.
01:26Sorry, there's no red carpet, Paul.
01:28How's it going?
01:29Roof's done.
01:30Yeah, we've nearly finished all the structural work.
01:33And we finally found a good electrician.
01:35What, he's not even started yet?
01:37It's been really hard to get someone to meet our standards, hasn't it, Trev?
01:40Yeah.
01:42I'm sorry, I just assumed you wanted an NIC EIC approved firm.
01:46Yeah, of course.
01:47Yeah, well, we tried a firm in Newcastle, fully booked.
01:50And then we checked out these guys in London.
01:54So you've just found a company worth thinking of using, haven't you, Trev?
01:57Yeah.
01:58Top notch.
02:00What's the name, Trev?
02:01Wired Firm Light.
02:04Yeah, well, I'm meeting them at 11, so we should have them sorted by the morning.
02:12Right, well, I'll show you to the room that we've cleared.
02:15I'll get these.
02:24This is the room.
02:26It's not too bad.
02:28And there's no doubt that you should be all right.
02:31And there's a bathroom still in use across the hall.
02:34And shall we leave our keys at the section when we go out?
02:36Go on.
02:37Sorry.
02:39Well, I'll leave you to it.
02:41If you don't want anything, just give us a shout.
02:43Thanks, Trev.
02:44Thanks.
02:46What time's breakfast?
02:47Oh, stop it, will you?
02:50I hate this.
02:52I hate showing around your own house by Sunday.
02:54Labourer.
02:56Let's just be rational for a minute.
02:58We're doing the right thing, OK?
03:00No rent, no money worries.
03:02As soon as I've sorted out here, get into a routine.
03:05I know there's some other contracts coming up at work.
03:08Big ones, really soon.
03:10We could get another flat, maybe in less than a month.
03:12Decision's made, Paul.
03:14This is not how it should be.
03:16It's such a mess.
03:19Look at Joe, pissing himself.
03:24Look, I know you wanted this to be special for the house to be finished,
03:28but it could be exciting watching it take shape.
03:31I've got the time to settle us in.
03:33You haven't told them what's happening at work, have you?
03:36We don't have to explain ourselves to anyone.
03:38Take them a couple of days to realise I'm skiving anyway.
03:41Now, go to work, stop worrying,
03:43and when you get back, your lovely wife will be ready and waiting for you.
03:47Promise?
03:48Promise.
03:49I wouldn't blame her if she wasn't.
03:51Paul.
03:52Go.
03:54Thanks.
04:00Take this with you anyway.
04:01If something crops up, give us a call.
04:05Yeah, I'm sorry to disappoint you,
04:07but from the scale of work you've been doing up in Newcastle,
04:09I really don't think my firm's big enough to accommodate you.
04:12Sure, sure.
04:13Don't worry about it.
04:14Craig Jackson.
04:16He's normally got plenty on.
04:20I don't think I know him.
04:21Oh, Craig's got lots of good ideas.
04:23He thinks big, you know.
04:25Yeah, you'd like him.
04:27I mean, he's a bit of a lad.
04:28You get on with him and he'll have a job for life.
04:31Tell you what, I'll give him a bill.
04:34Ah, cheers, Jack.
04:36Another?
04:37Yeah, cheers.
04:40Same again, please, sir.
04:42Don't they mind meeting you in a pub?
04:44It's a good place to do business.
04:46It really helps being surrounded by beautiful things.
04:51Thanks, right.
04:54You're on.
04:56Success at last.
04:58It's only a matter of time.
05:00Didn't I tell you?
05:03Are you ever going to get started?
05:06OK.
05:09Maybe we should wait till Joe gets here.
05:11We'll be here all day, man.
05:14Right.
05:19Is this the right wall?
05:22Yeah.
05:23Yeah.
05:24Yeah.
05:25Yeah.
05:26Yeah.
05:27Yeah.
05:28Yeah.
05:29Yeah.
05:30Yeah.
05:31Yeah.
05:32OK.
05:33What other wall could it be?
05:34I don't know, not my problem, mate.
05:36You started it.
05:37Started what?
05:38Maybe I should ask Laura.
05:41No.
05:42Then it'll look like I don't know what I'm doing.
05:45You don't?
05:47Yes, I do.
05:48Well, hit it, then.
05:49Don't tell me what to do.
05:51Either hit it or don't hit it.
05:53I'm hitting it.
05:54Good.
05:55Right.
05:56Right.
06:01Ha-ha.
06:32Hello.
06:33It's all coming on well, isn't it?
06:36Yeah, we're delighted.
06:37So you should be.
06:40I brought you a card.
06:43To welcome you to the neighbourhood.
06:45Thank you.
06:47So, you're a neighbour?
06:49Yes.
06:50That's, er, Patricia White.
06:53Hi.
06:54Laura Atkins.
06:57Hello.
06:58Janet said there'd been a buyer,
07:00but I didn't think you'd be moving in for months.
07:03Well, no, neither did we.
07:06Sorry, who's Janet?
07:08Oh, Margaret's niece.
07:10Margaret?
07:11Margaret, my friend.
07:13She used to live here.
07:15She died.
07:16Oh, yes, of course.
07:18I'm sorry.
07:19Oh, I should be going.
07:22I've got my own key.
07:24Always useful if you get lost.
07:26Always useful if you get locked out.
07:29Or go away.
07:37Bye.
07:38Bye.
07:59This is it.
08:01It's fantastic.
08:03It's distinctive.
08:05So, you're looking at what?
08:08Seven, eight flats?
08:10Thirteen.
08:13Studios.
08:14Yes.
08:15Of course, I see you.
08:16That is a fantastic window, isn't it?
08:19Jack says you're doing a domestic house renovation at the moment.
08:22Yes, just to tie the firm over while we settle in down here, you know.
08:25Well, what about your work up in Newcastle?
08:27Oh, it's mainly jobs like this.
08:29Yeah, we've just done this quayside development.
08:31I mean, you know the big bridge over the Tyne?
08:33Yeah.
08:34We built that.
08:36Pillock.
08:37No, we did some work on a warehouse next to the bridge, you know.
08:40Luxury apartments.
08:42So, it's Purvis and Purvis then, yeah?
08:44That's right.
08:45How about the other Purvis?
08:46That's my brother.
08:48So, you say you want these on the market in what?
08:51Three months' time?
08:52Yeah, the agents want to.
08:54Early sales always look good.
08:56Nah, you get more if you waited.
08:58What's that got to do with you?
09:00Don't know, that's what I told them.
09:01Do you mind?
09:02No, go on.
09:03Yeah, that's our two-bedroom.
09:04Both en suite.
09:05And there's room in here for a mini-gym as well.
09:09Nice.
09:11Luxury feel, yeah. Economy of space.
09:14Great touch.
09:21I'll wait, Simon.
09:22I'll get a move on.
09:23I'm busting for the pay.
09:33Trevor?
09:34We're nearly done, Laura.
09:36Cross your legs.
09:47Trevor?
09:48Yes, we're all done.
10:02We're done upstairs?
10:03Yeah.
10:17Yeah?
10:19Oh, Trevor.
10:20How's it going?
10:24What?
10:26What are you thinking?
10:28I'm thinking about you.
10:29What?
10:31What do you think I'm doing?
10:33I'm on a building site looking at some electrical work this firm's done.
10:37I think I'm going to go with them, Trevor.
10:38They seem good.
10:39So stop panicking.
10:41Goodbye.
10:43Cheryl, you got a yellow pages?
10:50Have a look under E.
10:59Dear Karen.
11:14Trevor?
11:16Trevor?
11:30What?
11:31Did you knock this wall down?
11:34Yeah.
11:37I looked at the plans.
11:39You should have waited.
11:41They're going to go mad with you. They're going to go mad.
11:43You should have waited.
11:46And I'd have given you a hand.
11:48You've done a good job.
11:53Was that a joke?
11:54Was that a joke?
11:58Yeah, well, if I hung around waiting for you all day, nothing would get done.
12:03Where are the electricians?
12:05They'll be here first thing in the morning.
12:15Hasn't Karen got her phone, Mike?
12:19Yeah, but I can see what I really want her with a letter.
12:22I'm still there for her.
12:24I still care.
12:26Still exist, you mean?
12:28Just a bit stuck, though.
12:30Well, why don't you tell her you've been to Buckingham Palace?
12:33Because I haven't.
12:35Yes, we know that.
12:36I can't lie.
12:38How about you tell her you knocked down a wall, then?
12:42I'll put that.
12:44How about then? Tell us what you've got so far.
12:47Dear Karen, how are you?
12:48Karen, how are you?
12:50I knocked down a wall today.
12:56You should be on the first train down, Trevor.
13:06I'm not in a bad mood, but I will be if you don't let me see where I'm going.
13:15Eddie?
13:17Open them.
13:34I thought you hated camping.
13:36Yeah, I do if it's outdoors.
13:39Shall we christen it?
13:47I'm sorry.
13:51But in two years, I'm going to be fully qualified, mate.
13:54So you're Doctor Two, then?
13:56No, no, I'm a property magnate.
13:59Is he with you?
14:01Trevor?
14:03Physically, he is, yeah.
14:05He's Trevor.
14:06Right.
14:08Hi.
14:10I'm Melanie.
14:12Hi.
14:14Trevor.
14:15I know.
14:23Do you want alligator?
14:25Yes, this one.
14:27Nice, I believe.
14:28Is it?
14:29I don't know.
14:31Who's that?
14:33I don't know.
14:35Who's that?
14:37Probably just one of the builders emptying eight pints of brown ale into the toilet.
14:41I don't actually like that, if you bother to find out.
14:49You scared me.
14:51Hello, again.
14:54Oh, I've baked you a cake.
14:56That's kind of you.
14:59Ah, the master of the house.
15:01Hi, I'm Paul.
15:04Lovely to meet you.
15:05Patricia.
15:07Here.
15:08Thanks.
15:09Will this be the bedroom, then?
15:11Yeah, that's right.
15:13Felicity's held on.
15:15Don't we?
15:17Oh, I'll be off.
15:19Don't want to intrude.
15:21See you soon.
15:22Bye.
15:23Bye.
15:29She seems nice.
15:30Get used to her.
15:32Wow, marble cake.
15:34I love this stuff.
15:35Oh, well, that's all right, then.
15:38Well, how did she get in?
15:41Oh, she's got a key.
15:51Hello, again.
15:55Look, I have to go.
15:58Letters to write.
16:00I'll see you.
16:01I'll see you later.
16:03Is that a promise?
16:04Trevor, come back.
16:06I want to go with him.
16:07I can't bring you home, Beth.
16:08No room?
16:09You'll sleep together, then?
16:11Well, not through choice.
16:12I'm going to go and say goodnight to my Trevor.
16:14Yeah, I think he'll manage all right without you.
16:16I know he wants to see me.
16:17What number is it?
16:18Twenty-three.
16:22Is there a park nearby?
16:27No.
16:33Trevor?
16:35Where are you?
16:45Trevor?
16:47Where are you?
16:49Melanie?
16:51There you are.
16:52You've been hiding.
16:53What are you doing?
16:54Looking for you.
16:55Oh, come on.
16:56You've got to get out of here.
16:57Come and get me.
17:01You're going to have to come with me.
17:03Let's just stay here.
17:04Come on.
17:12Did you hear something?
17:18Are we enjoying it now?
17:19No, not at all.
17:20Oh, you're such a liar.
17:21Come on.
17:22We're all alone.
17:23You know you want to.
17:24Oh, hey, I don't.
17:25Stop it.
17:29What do we do now?
17:30Shh.
17:31Why?
17:32Let's grab a night.
17:33If I want to scream out loud, I will.
17:34No, please don't.
17:35No.
17:39Hello.
17:54Whatever you get up to in your own time is your business.
17:56But...
17:57Laura, it wasn't my...
17:58Look, you don't need to explain.
17:59I know it must be difficult for you being away from home.
18:02Laura, listen.
18:04Please, Trevor.
18:05What do you take me for?
18:06I don't do things like that.
18:08The fact of the matter is,
18:09we don't want people having it off on our sitting room floor.
18:13This is our home,
18:14and we'd like just a tiny bit of respect, OK?
18:16I don't mind how you do it.
18:18Just get it sorted, OK?
18:20Well, you could always use the shower and the van.
18:22It's all mod cons in there.
18:23We wouldn't mind, would we, Trevor?
18:24Don't take the piss, Simon.
18:25Sorry, Paul.
18:26We'll have the hot water on when you get back.
18:28Fine.
18:29Laura, I'm off.
18:30No, darling, we need to make a decision on the conservatory.
18:32Talk about it when I get home.
18:33Now, Simon?
18:34Well, basically,
18:35Joe's worked out that it'll cost twice as much to repair
18:37than if we were to just knock the thing down and start again.
18:40That's that, then? We knock it down?
18:41No, it's not.
18:43OK, we keep it.
18:45I think it's quaint, don't you?
18:46Quaint?
18:48Yeah, you know, Paul, quaint.
18:49As in attractively unusual,
18:50often of an old-fashioned style.
18:53But if we can't afford to repair it...
18:55I think a new one'll look fine.
18:57Yeah, I know what you mean.
18:59That's that, then?
19:01Yeah, I think we should keep it.
19:02Keep this one.
19:03I like it, it's beautiful.
19:05Decision's made.
19:06What?
19:07Look, Laura, I'm going to be late.
19:08We'll talk about it later, OK?
19:09Bye.
19:16Haven't you got any work to be getting on with?
19:20No.
19:31Looks like you lost that one, Liz.
19:37Start clearing the conservatory.
19:38Can't afford to have it repaired.
19:40It's got to go.
19:41Well, I'll...
19:42No, don't, Trevor, just...
19:45I'll sort it with Laura, OK?
19:51Basically, it's a complete overhaul.
19:55I think the kitchen's still powered by steam.
19:57No problem, mate.
19:59Right, boss, morning.
20:00Dead simple.
20:01Rip everything out and start again.
20:02Ah, it'll be a doddle.
20:04We'll need to upgrade the power,
20:05put a new circuit on each floor,
20:07and we'll put in spurs on every level
20:09so you've got enough power points in each room.
20:11Does that sound all right?
20:13Perfect.
20:14Any problems, Trevor'll sort you out.
20:18Joe?
20:21Plumbers?
20:23I'm off to find us a plumber.
20:28I was just making some tea.
20:30Do you want some?
20:31What did you say?
20:32Tea.
20:33Do you want a cup of tea?
20:34Sorry, can't understand what you're saying.
20:37You Welsh?
20:38No, no, Newcastle.
20:39I'll tell you what, Trev,
20:40why don't you put a kettle on like a murderer, cap'n?
20:43Yeah.
20:44Yeah.
20:51Hello, there.
20:53Don't mind me.
20:54Laura said I could pop in any time.
20:57Right.
20:59I live next door.
21:01Ah, right.
21:02Hello.
21:03Wonderful house.
21:05Great, isn't it?
21:06And you're making it a home again.
21:08Absolutely.
21:09Bring it up to date,
21:10out with the old, in with the new.
21:12Yes.
21:13Oh, I'm sorry.
21:14I'm sorry.
21:15I'm sorry.
21:16I'm sorry.
21:17I'm sorry.
21:19Yes.
21:20Oh, I've got some big plans.
21:21I mean, that's going to go for starters.
21:24What?
21:25Laura wanted to keep it but they can't afford the repairs.
21:27You're pulling down Margaret's Conservatory?
21:29Well, we don't do things by halves.
21:31Purvers and Purvers are very high standards, you know.
21:37You okay?
21:39Margaret loved it.
21:40It was her special place.
21:44Yeah, well, I can see that but...
21:46You spent so much time there,
21:47Particularly, well, towards the end, before she went into hospital.
21:52Right.
21:53You can't just knock it down.
21:57I'm sorry.
22:10Bloody hell.
22:14We've had a tip that the local authority are gonna flog it.
22:17We need to put in a bit of sharpish.
22:20Well, what do you reckon?
22:24Yeah.
22:26Yeah.
22:27It's an impressive place.
22:29I'd be happy for Trevor to have a look if you want.
22:31No. No, no, it's not necessary. Trevor generally trusts my instincts.
22:35Teamwork, eh?
22:37What's his background, then?
22:39Building work, you know.
22:40I mean, is he a joiner like you?
22:42Ah, I see.
22:44Bricklaying.
22:45And plastering. He started off as a plasterer.
22:48Now, you'll like Trevor.
22:49He's, er, unique.
22:51I'll give the officer a ring and the three of us will get together.
22:54Make a night of it, if you want.
22:57Excellent.
22:59Oh.
23:10Thanks for telling us you were back.
23:13Sorry.
23:14You've just missed Simon. He's gone down the pub already.
23:16The electricians are getting on all right. They seem OK.
23:20I was gonna cook.
23:21Macaroni cheese.
23:23Trevor, perfect special.
23:25Well, I can leave out the Frankfurters if you want.
23:27No, no, I don't want to stand in the way of culinary invention, Trevor.
23:32No luck with the plumber, then?
23:33Nah.
23:40You look like you've been here all your life.
23:43Just making an effort.
23:45I know.
23:47You doing all right, Trevor?
23:49You know, you're better at this building game than you think.
23:53Yeah, we could really make it down here if we wanted, you know.
23:56Really?
23:57Yeah.
23:59We're hard-working, honest.
24:02Well, you're honest.
24:03That would be nice, I suppose.
24:07To, you know, be something.
24:10Well, not necessarily anything special.
24:15Just to be someone proper.
24:17You know?
24:19Trevor Purvis Builder.
24:23Trevor the Builder.
24:26You are a builder.
24:29Yeah, I am.
24:31And we should be thinking about other jobs.
24:34I suppose.
24:35We'll be back home before we know it.
24:37We could always find something else in London.
24:40Well?
24:42Don't you think we'll find anything back home?
24:45Ah, just a few opportunities, that's all.
24:48Nah, we'll find something.
24:50I can't leave Karen and Dan again.
24:53Anyway, like you said, we're good.
24:56Yeah.
25:01What?
25:03No cheese.
25:10Hi.
25:12Didn't know whether you were in or not.
25:14Really? Where else would I be?
25:16I ordered a pizza.
25:17Excellent.
25:18I'm starving.
25:21Oh.
25:22Changed my mind.
25:27Mmm, not bad.
25:30So, good day?
25:31Yep, great.
25:32How are the builders?
25:34Builders are absolutely fine.
25:36You're crossing me, aren't you?
25:38I mean, you're trying to hide it, but it's just peeping through there.
25:42I'm fine.
25:44No, you're not.
25:45Yes, I am. I'm fine.
25:56So, you're going to be working late every night for the next three months, are you?
25:59Of course I'm not.
26:00No, that's fine. You work as late as you want.
26:02I'll just sort everything out here, shall I?
26:04Put our furniture into storage, talk to the builders, sweep up the dust.
26:08Make sure Simon hasn't used up all the bloody toilet paper, hmm?
26:11Laura.
26:12Make sure our bed's clean enough to get into when you come home, if you can be bothered to come home, that is.
26:15But you said you wanted to sort it out.
26:17You offered.
26:19You said it'd be fun.
26:20Yeah, well, it isn't fun.
26:23It isn't even the tiniest bit fun.
26:27It's a bloody nightmare.
26:31Oh, Laura.
26:33Hmm? Laura?
26:36You're going to have to learn to cope like the rest of us.
26:38And the first thing you're going to do is get on with Jo and Trevor.
26:43Okay.
26:44I mean it, Paul.
26:45Yeah, so do I. Hand on heart.
26:47Hmm?
26:49Scout Simon.
26:50Hmm?
26:54Okay.
26:55Good.
26:56Hmm?
26:58And put that bloody pizza down. Come and make it up to me.
27:11Ah!
27:26Ah!
27:40Afternoon.
27:41Mrs. Atkins?
27:42Yes.
27:43I'm from the council.
27:44John Price.
27:45Planning and Building Regulations Department.
27:48I understand you're having some alterations done on your house.
27:52Come in.
27:54She's been very polite.
27:56Watch and learn.
27:58Then again, I'd be polite to a man who had complete control over me house.
28:02But yeah, well, yeah.
28:04So, we're not allowed to touch it at all?
28:06Not at the moment, no.
28:08This is a conservation area,
28:10so you'll need permission before you start any demolition work.
28:14A conservator might even be suitable for a preservation order.
28:17This? You're joking.
28:18No, I'm afraid not.
28:19And, um, I suppose you can't tell me exactly who informed you about this?
28:23No, that would be inflammatory.
28:26All that I can say is that the complaint came from a neighbour.
28:29Right, I see.
28:31Now, this will explain to you everything that's going to happen next.
28:34Don't worry, nobody's out to get you or anything like that.
28:37It's all simple procedure.
28:40Right, fine. Thank you.
28:42Well, I'll show you out.
28:45See, she was all right about that.
28:48That's because she gets to keep it.
28:54Right, I want it knocking down now!
28:58Put them down, you said.
29:00Trevor, I am not having some anorak come into my house
29:03telling me what I can and can't do.
29:05I don't know what you're talking about.
29:07I don't know what you're talking about.
29:09I don't know what you're talking about.
29:11I'm not having some anorak come into my house
29:13telling me what I can and can't do.
29:15I thought you liked it.
29:17Yeah, I did.
29:18You said it was beautiful.
29:20Oh, Trevor, don't get sentimental.
29:22At the end of the day, it's just a fancy window.
29:24Oh!
29:31It's a bloody health hazard.
29:35What I want to know is how that little jobsworth
29:37found out about this in the first place.
29:41I don't know.
30:05Laura, I want to apologise.
30:08What for?
30:09Well, it must have been Patricia who told the council
30:11about the conservatory.
30:14I'm afraid it was me who told her.
30:16She got a bit upset.
30:18Trevor, you're a liability.
30:20Why did you tell her we were knocking it down?
30:22Well, Paul said...
30:25See, I thought...
30:28Well, it just came out.
30:30It just came out?
30:31Laura.
30:33The problem with Trevor is he can be a bit simple sometimes,
30:36can't you?
30:37And sometimes his mouth gets ahead of his brain.
30:40He just got carried away.
30:42All right, Joe, I got the message.
30:45In future, I want any press releases to be issued by me or Paul, OK?
30:49Don't tell anyone anything.
30:52Absolutely.
30:53Promise.
30:56Ah, my three favourite people.
30:58How are the electricians getting on, Joe?
31:00They're grand, aren't they?
31:02Good.
31:03You all right, Trevor?
31:05Uh-huh.
31:06Marvellous. So all's well, then?
31:08Yeah, apart from some train spotter from the council
31:10telling us we can't touch the conservatory.
31:12That's all right. You only had it kept anyway, didn't you?
31:14Me?
31:15No, I want it again.
31:17Well, we can sort that out, can't we, lads?
31:20Yeah, why not?
31:21Great.
31:23Who fancies a beer?
31:27Why not?
31:28Oh, thanks.
31:29I'm going to have a lie down.
31:31Someone mentioned beer.
31:32Here.
31:34I'm back.
31:36Dear Karen.
31:43Can I come in?
31:44Yeah, yeah.
31:53I'm sorry about being ratty.
31:55She would have found out anyway. She's in the house more than Paul.
31:58My fault, Lara.
32:03Does Joe always speak to you like that?
32:05Like what?
32:07Like you've got learning difficulties.
32:09Ah...
32:11Joe's all right.
32:12I mean, he speaks...
32:14He's my brother, I mean...
32:16It's fine.
32:23Do you want to come inside for a drink?
32:26No, I...
32:28I'm just tired.
32:34Come on.
32:44Ninety bucks.
32:45Coming through.
32:51Just there.
32:53And not too hot.
33:00Go on, Paul!
33:02Go on, lad, give it some!
33:07Paul, hey! Paul, hey! Paul, hey!
33:10Lara! Lara! Lara! Lara!
33:14Lara! Lara! Lara! Lara! Lara!
33:19Paul!
33:21Fuck!
33:28There's only one Lord at hand!
33:30There's only one Lord at hand!
33:33There's only one Lord at hand!
33:48♪
34:15Morning.
34:16Morning.
34:17Well, things move fast around here, don't they?
34:21Meaning?
34:22I understand there's been a bit of a change in the conservatory since I inspected it.
34:25Oh yeah, it's gone.
34:27It fell down.
34:29It just fell down?
34:31It's lucky no one was hurt.
34:32All on its own.
34:33It just fell down.
34:35Oh, you should have seen it last night. The whole structure was unsafe.
34:37Liable to collapse at any moment.
34:39And who are you?
34:40Joseph Purvis, chief building contractor, Purvis & Purvis Construction Ltd.
34:44How do you do?
34:45Was it windy last night?
34:46Any sudden gales, any typhoons localised in the Blackheath area?
34:54That's it, is it?
35:03Not a lot left, is there?
35:06Well, there's not much I can do.
35:09Can't slap a preservation order on that.
35:12So I'll be off.
35:15Just one thing.
35:17No matter how nice you make your home,
35:19if you don't get on with your neighbours, life can be a bloody misery.
35:23It's worth making an effort.
35:39How old are you two?
35:49Well, I'm 24, and he's...
35:50Get out of here.
35:51Now.
35:52Yes, sir.
35:53Sorry, sir.
35:55Oi.
35:58Whoops.
35:58Just get out before you break something else.
36:04You're going to have an heart attack if you don't calm down.
36:15What about, dear Karen, my mate Gary thinks you're really fit?
36:18No, I put, dear Karen, my mate Gary thinks you're a right old slapper.
36:22Slapper?
36:22Slag.
36:26What are you doing?
36:28Fan this.
36:29Don't know whose it is, though.
36:30Is it yours?
36:31Give it me.
36:33Who's Karen, then?
36:33Is she your bird?
36:35Why are you writing to her?
36:36Are you telling her she's dumped?
36:37Just give me the letter, will you?
36:39Do you have to write to her?
36:40Because she can't understand what you're saying?
36:42Or is it because you're screwing her post-it up?
36:44I'll tell you what.
36:45You tell me what you want to say, and I'll translate it for you.
36:48You're going to give me back?
36:49Oi, touchy.
36:50What are you going to do, write me a nasty letter?
37:03Yes!
37:05Joseph.
37:06Joseph, me old mate.
37:07You want a drink?
37:08Thanks very much.
37:09I'll have a beer.
37:12You got the hospital contract?
37:13I certainly did.
37:14Give him a beer, please, mate.
37:15And I stayed well within me top limit.
37:17Well done.
37:18Congratulations, Craig.
37:19It's all mine.
37:20I love you.
37:21I love you.
37:22I love you.
37:23I love you.
37:24I love you.
37:25I love you.
37:26I love you.
37:27I love you.
37:28I love you.
37:29I love you.
37:30I love you.
37:31I love you.
37:32It's all mine, and I'm going to have some fun with it.
37:35You too, eh, Joe?
37:38What?
37:39You want me to come and work for you?
37:41I'd be very offended if you didn't.
37:43Fantastic.
37:44Thank you.
37:45Thank you very much.
37:46Where is he, then?
37:47Where's he having firms?
37:48Eh?
37:49Oh, Trevor, yes.
37:50Andy's at Polly's.
37:51We had a bit of trouble with the subcontractor, but it might be a long lay-out.
37:53Listen, we've all got to meet up soon and have a chat.
37:56Then we can sort out that contract.
37:58Yes!
38:03Joe?
38:14Joe?
38:18Thank God you're back, man.
38:19The electrician's left hours ago.
38:21Can you smell burning in here?
38:24No.
38:25Like electrical burning?
38:29It's just the new wires, Simon.
38:30It's soldering on.
38:32You smell burning?
38:34Is that supposed to be sticking out of there?
38:40That's just spare.
38:42Didn't I tell you?
38:43Anyone could sleep there with a bunch of cowboys.
38:45I thought you'd checked him out.
38:47Will you two shut up?
38:49If everything's working, it's not a problem.
38:51We just shove that back in.
38:56See? It's nothing.
38:58Simon, plug the radio in, will you?
39:02Oh, yeah, that's too straight, that. Now we're all going to die.
39:04Shut up, will you?
39:06Get that Terry on the phone now.
39:16Well?
39:18It's ringing.
39:22No reply.
39:24Are you sure they give you the room number?
39:26Yeah.
39:29No reply.
39:31Are you sure they give you the real number?
39:38Oh, dear.
39:40We can fix this.
39:44Right?
39:48We can fix this.
39:55No.
39:57Oh, God.
39:59This isn't a game, you know.
40:01I'm sorry, mate.
40:03Mate? I'm not your mate.
40:05I'm employing you. I'm paying your wages.
40:07Just because we've had a couple of beers together
40:09doesn't mean you can take the piss out of me.
40:11This is our home.
40:13I haven't got the time or the patience
40:15to mess around with cowboys.
40:17All I've got to do is look through yellow pages,
40:19get someone else.
40:21Paul, I'll sort it in the morning.
40:23Now!
40:26No.
40:36He's not going to sack us, is he?
40:38Nah.
40:40He talks when he should be listening.
40:42Yeah, but... Trevor, shut up.
40:44I've had enough.
40:46Right, me and you are going out tonight.
40:48London. Come on.
40:50What for?
40:56We can meet up with this bloke I've got to know.
40:58Craig.
41:00Dead canny.
41:02One of the plumbers you met?
41:04Nah, he's, um...
41:06He's what you might call a property developer.
41:08He could get us some other work.
41:10Do you have contacts in Newcastle?
41:12All over, yeah.
41:14Great.
41:22How do I look?
41:24God, if you wear that now,
41:26what are you going to wear when you are 50?
41:28Well, I've got nothing else.
41:32Here.
41:36Put these on.
41:38I can't wear them.
41:40You'll look great, man.
41:42I feel like a dickhead.
41:44Well, don't feel like a dickhead.
41:47Oh, come on.
41:49Let's get out there.
41:51And just go along with it.
41:53No one back home can see you.
41:55No one knows you're down here.
41:57You can do whatever you want.
41:59So forget about Karen and Daniel.
42:01They're fine.
42:03You're down here with me.
42:05So let's have a good time.
42:07Okay.
42:09I'll give it a go.
42:11So let's have a good time.
42:15Okay, I'll give it a go.
42:17Good lad.
42:21And if you start getting fidgety,
42:23just think, Lanzarote.
42:25We're on holiday.
42:29Lanzarote.
42:31I'm on holiday.
42:41I'm on holiday.
42:43I guess you need your father, baby.
42:47I guess you know.
42:51You don't need experience
42:55to turn me out.
42:59You just give it up.
43:01So if you pay them extra money,
43:03they'll dance for you.
43:05Yeah, you're not really meant to touch them like that.
43:07Some of them don't mind.
43:10Right, got the little brunette in the corner.
43:12She gets really arsey if you don't touch her up.
43:14Are you allowed to just talk to them?
43:16Or are you not paid for their brains?
43:18Haven't you got places like this in Newcastle?
43:20Not that I know of.
43:22Best thing about this place
43:24is a client can have a good laugh
43:26and he might even get to take something home with him.
43:28You know what I mean?
43:30Cluck.
43:32Hello, boys.
43:34My name's Roxy and I'll be serving you tonight.
43:36Oh, hi, Craig. Didn't see you there.
43:38So how are these two, then?
43:40Oh, raising me mates down from Newcastle.
43:42We might be doing a bit of work.
43:44Oh, I love that accent.
43:46Got to listen to that all day.
43:48That could be arranged.
43:50Go on, say that thing you say.
43:52What is it?
43:54Oi, you do it, Trevor.
43:56Yeah, go on, Trev.
43:58Go on, just for me.
44:02Oh, that was lovely.
44:04Tell you what, you're in there, son.
44:07So you all on the property game, then?
44:09Yeah, yeah. Same again, Roxy.
44:11Sure.
44:13Lanzarote!
44:15I'm on holiday.
44:17Hey, hey, hey.
44:37Oh.
44:44Aren't you glad we came out?
44:46You've seen what we've been missing.
44:50It's an experience.
44:52And this is just one night.
44:56Imagine the nights we'd have if we stayed here longer.
44:58I think we'd need to be independently wealthy.
45:00Craig's a laugh, isn't he?
45:02Oh, he's very entertaining.
45:04Is he serious about getting us work?
45:06Okay.
45:10Isn't this fantastic?
45:16Roxy's playing out in Ghet?
45:18Yeah, that'll be the day, won't it?
45:20So you're missing Newcastle, then, Trevor?
45:22I must be family, mostly.
45:24Taron and Daniel, my son.
45:26Nine months.
45:28I mean, they've changed so much at that age.
45:30Yeah, there must be a dread being stuck in that house, haven't there?
45:32What?
45:35I mean, you've done some good work up north, haven't you?
45:38Well, a job's a job.
45:40You always do your best.
45:42That's what I like to hear.
45:44Oi, he's all right up there, isn't he?
45:46Yeah.
45:48I can always rely on her, Trevor.
45:50Here, listen, wait till you see the other project, all right?
45:52Fifty, sixty flats at least.
45:54I'll take you round to myself. It's not far from you.
45:58In Newcastle?
46:00No, Blackheath.
46:02Look, we're starting in five weeks' time, right?
46:04You want to stop playing happy families with that house,
46:06you should be doing what you know best now.
46:10What do you reckon, eh, Trevor?
46:12What do you say to Purvis and Purvis coming in with me?
46:16Purvis and Purvis
46:18have been in business for...
46:20six weeks now.
46:22I think it'd be financial suicide
46:24to leave our first and only job.
46:26And I think when Joe's spaceship
46:28lands back on planet Earth,
46:30we'll all be happy.
46:33When your spaceship lands back on planet Earth,
46:35they'll tell you the same.
46:37Go on, you Jewel.
46:41Trevor!
46:43Chris!
46:51You've been talking yourself up a bit, haven't you?
46:53Look, Greg...
46:57What's this, your first job?
47:00Or is it your only job?
47:03That brother of yours...
47:07couldn't build himself a Wendy house.
47:09He's a bit inexperienced, yeah. Listen.
47:11No, you listen!
47:14I don't mind a chance,
47:16but I'd like him to have a little bit up top, yeah?
47:18And you, Joe?
47:20You haven't.
47:23You're nothing.
47:25And she would never have got you and your brother
47:27into this mess.
47:29I got carried away. I didn't mean to take the piss.
47:31We want to learn.
47:33We work hard.
47:35I'll start small.
47:37Whatever you say, Craig.
47:39Get out my face!
47:41Now.
48:01You bastard!
48:05You...
48:07stupid bastard!
48:11Do you know what you've just done, Trevor?
48:13It's not me who's the stupid one this time.
48:15So when do we get a chance like that, eh?
48:19I have never been offered the big time, Trevor.
48:21Never.
48:23It doesn't happen every day of the week.
48:25And thanks to you,
48:27it'll probably never happen again.
48:30Now, he liked me!
48:34He thought I was something.
48:38And you had to go and piss all over it!
48:40Look, listen to yourself.
48:43You do up people's kitchens.
48:45I'm a sometime painter and decorator.
48:47We're not Barrett Holmes!
48:50Well, at least I would have had the chance to try.
48:52I'm not Barrett Holmes!
48:54I'm not Barrett Holmes!
48:56I'm not Barrett Holmes!
48:58At least I would have had the chance to try, Trevor.
49:00He'd have found you out sooner or later
49:02and then he would have chucked you out.
49:04And what about him telling us
49:06to jack him, Paul and Laura?
49:08You know, they can find anybody to do what we're doing for them.
49:12We've no loyalty to them.
49:14It's our first job.
49:16They trust us. We made a deal.
49:18And what about me, eh?
49:20We set up as partners
49:22to find work around Newcastle.
49:24We took this job on because it was a dead cert.
49:27And we'd go back as soon as it was finished.
49:29And all this time
49:31you'd no intention of going back, had you?
49:35No.
49:39And you?
49:41You should have stuck at playing a househusband
49:43instead of ruining my life.
49:47Listen.
49:49I know I'm not the world's best painter.
49:51I know I'm crap.
49:53But at least I can admit that to myself
49:55and live with it.
49:57You...
49:59I didn't have to give you a job, Trevor.
50:01You know,
50:03I didn't have to carry you.
50:09Well, you shouldn't have.
50:11I don't need you.
50:17Go and find someone else to crap on.
50:25Come on.
50:28Come on.
50:54Trevor, to save it,
50:56especially the shape you're in.
51:02Trevor.
51:04No. Look at you.
51:06You're no use to anyone.
51:08Go to bed.
51:10But I'll piss off, will you?
51:13What are you doing?
51:15Joe!
51:17Grandad's had a stroke.
51:23A bad one.
51:25Dad says we should come up straight away.
51:27Otherwise it might be too late.
51:31I'm sorry.
51:33I'm sorry.
51:35I'm sorry.
51:37I'm sorry.
51:39I'm sorry.
51:41Trevor,
51:43about Craig.
51:45Not now, eh?
51:47Right.
51:51Who's going to tell Paul?
51:55We'll both tell.
52:11I love you.
52:13I love you.
52:15I love you.
52:17I love you.
52:19I love you.
52:21I love you.
52:23I love you.
52:25I love you.
52:27I love you.
52:29I love you.
52:31I love you.
52:33I love you.
52:35I love you.
52:37I love you.
52:40I love you.
52:42I love you.
