00:00Well, what are you waiting for?
00:14Tip on the free party.
00:15Go on, clear all out of it.
00:17Sorry, I was miles away.
00:36Well, you know, I'm not literally miles.
00:41Lucky I've got my Bruce Lee reflexes on point, eh?
00:45What's going on, mate? You all right?
00:47How did the NBO transfer go yesterday night?
00:50We won't know for a few weeks, but Sonia's doing well so far.
00:54That's good news, innit?
00:57Work's been a bit quiet lately. I've just been in a pinch.
01:00Just get your head down, mate. It'll all work out in the end.
01:03Will it? Even if we are successful, that's only the beginning.
01:07Did you know it costs over £160,000 to raise a child these days?
01:11Don't tell me about her. I just sent half my wages to Whip for Dolly.
01:14But a man's got to do what a man's got to do, eh?
01:17And I'm being hounded for Debbie's care on top of that.
01:19Can't be good for Son's stress levels, can it?
01:21No, no, no. I'd rather we kept out between us.
01:24I mean, she's got enough on the plate as it is.
01:27Yeah, listen, I've got to go to work.
01:29But just know, all new parents, they worry about money.
01:32You will be all right. At least you've got a roof over your head.
01:35See you in a bit.
01:46Slow down, Edson.
01:52You're either brave or stupid.
01:56And a good morning to you too.
01:58What are you doing back here?
02:00If any of your family see you, you've had it.
02:03If that's the way it has to be.
02:05Oh, God loves a trier, I suppose.
02:08Are you going to wish me luck or what?
02:10You don't need luck, sunshine. You need a miracle.
02:21Hey.
02:23Another PB in the bag. Come on.
02:26I'm getting closer to breaking that sub 25K.
02:30So, you getting excited?
02:32For what, your sub 20?
02:35And your birthday in a couple of weeks. 21, plenty of fun.
02:39Have you thought about a present yet?
02:41You can have anything you like, mate.
02:43Anything for a maximum of, like, 25 quid.
02:46Yeah. Yeah, it's all right.
02:48Money's a bit tight at the minute, especially with Lauren being out of work.
02:51Peter, it's fine. I mean, you really don't have to get me anything.
02:54A card's enough.
02:56Or if you really want to, just, like, a donation to a local food banquet or something.
03:00I don't know.
03:01Well, we'll forget the present. How about an old-fashioned knees-up, celebrating style?
03:05Look, Peter, I know that Anna and Freddie have put you up to this,
03:10but I really don't want to do anything.
03:13OK, yeah, Anna did have a word.
03:16Come on, Bob, what's so bad about turning 21?
03:18Lucy never did, did she?
03:21And I took that from her.
03:24For the first time in my life, Peter,
03:26I'm going to be older than our sister was when she died.
03:35How can I even think about celebrating that?
03:54You ever sit here?
03:57Didn't you beat a score?
03:59Free period, without your excuse and all.
04:02No, no, no, exactly.
04:06You boys all good, or what?
04:08I found a ticket, come on.
04:10Nah, we're going to have a watch, a real thing.
04:13We could play for hours.
04:15Yeah, but Ben's just got an appointment.
04:18Um, yeah, Mum, we're actually going to go to a doctor's...
04:23..to get some proper advice on my steroid withdrawal.
04:26Definitely another time, but I'll shout you in it for sure.
04:30Good luck, yeah? Thank you, Bob, appreciate it.
04:40Ben, have you seen Bobby?
04:42We all live in the same house, so what do you reckon?
04:45Have you spoken to him about his birthday yet?
04:47Oh, not you and all, I've had a head of banging on about it.
04:50I've sorted out the cake and I'm going to decorate the house.
04:53He doesn't want to celebrate it because of Lucy.
04:57Look, I know it must be hard for him, right, and you two.
05:01I still think about her every day.
05:03I still hear her nagging voice every time I do something wrong.
05:06Yeah, so do I. I'm sure he does as well.
05:08Yeah, but that's why he wants to keep things low-key.
05:11Yeah, I know, but it's a big day for him.
05:13It's a big day for all of us. We need to celebrate it as a family.
05:17OK, great, I'll call some mates.
05:19Shall I put some heads together then tomorrow?
05:21It's at, like, 10am. I'll see if Anna and Freddy are free.
05:25Everything all right?
05:28Er, yeah, yeah. I can't do it tomorrow.
05:32You can open the shop up a little bit later tomorrow.
05:35Yeah, I know, but I'm going to talk to your mum about rebranding.
05:38Right. Yeah, we'll talk about it next week.
05:41No rush, is there?
05:50Something smells good.
05:52Just been doing some batch-clicking. Economise where we can, eh?
05:55Anna, with that in mind, I wanted to run something past you about the house.
05:59You'd better make it quick, cos I'm off to a meditation class now.
06:02Since when?
06:03I saw a poster outside the community centre and I thought, well, we'll have a try, innit?
06:07Healthy mind, healthy body, that sort of thing.
06:10What's up with the house?
06:12Don't tell me we've got subsidence or something.
06:14All I need to do is keep my blood pressure up as low as possible.
06:20No, no, it's just, um...
06:23The toilet, the flush felt a bit weak.
06:26Have you noticed a reduction in the flow recently?
06:28Unless it's what you wanted to talk to me about.
06:30No, it's fine. I'll sort it. You go and discover yours then.
06:34See you later.
06:36Right, darling.
06:40Bye.
06:58Oi! Oi! Oi!
07:00Looking for a quick round of ear-roll or something?
07:02Practising some seals.
07:04Yeah, well, you can practice playing up.
07:06If you break my wing mirrors.
07:08I thought you might have come to my fight last week.
07:10Yeah, yeah, sorry. I had some stuff to sort out.
07:13I heard it didn't go too well.
07:15I'll be there for the next one, yeah?
07:17Yeah.
07:18Might try your sea instead.
07:30Oi, what did I tell you, eh?
07:32I told you to go and do this somewhere else.
07:34I ain't in the mood today, all right?
07:39So, what's all this in aid of, then?
07:41I'm kind of manned by a pie for his older brother.
07:43Hey, less of the older.
07:45Good point.
07:46Don't fancy one of your right hooks any time soon.
07:48Mm.
07:49Truth be told, I'm worried about you.
07:52Last night was pretty heavy.
07:54I thought I'd take you for a drink, take your mind off things.
07:57Take my mind off things? I would have slept a week.
08:00That's a lot to process.
08:02But it might get you in the mood for the semi-final later.
08:05Yeah, that's true.
08:07Go on, get on in.
08:08Trace, could I get a G&T for me?
08:11Usual for Billy, two whiskeys, please.
08:15Listen, um...
08:16Thank you.
08:18It's all round next month.
08:19No, no, I mean, yesterday, you know.
08:22It's given me a confidence, you know, stand up for myself.
08:26I needed to hear that.
08:31What's he doing here?
08:34Right, out.
08:36Billy...
08:37I said, get out before I throw you out.
08:39Easy, Bill.
08:40Look, I know you're in shock.
08:42Shock? You don't know the half of it.
08:45You got any idea what it's like to spend your whole life
08:48thinking that your mum didn't want you?
08:50Thinking that she left you because she had a win on the bingo.
08:54I used to cry myself to sleep at night,
08:57praying that she'd come home.
08:59Billy, boy, come on now, let's have a sit down.
09:02I told you to go.
09:04Wait until the time's right.
09:06No, the time is never going to be right.
09:08Look, I ain't disagreeing.
09:09The old boy's caused more wreckage than a breaker's yard.
09:12But he's here now,
09:13so you might as well shake him for any other hidden gems.
09:16Cos if you don't hear him out, he's just going to keep coming back.
09:20That's all you do.
09:24Sorry about this.
09:26No, what do you think?
09:27I mean, it's a classic Victorian terrace.
09:29I mean, it's very sought-after property.
09:31Yeah, with authentic musty smell and original decor, by the looks of it.
09:35And the room's available straight away.
09:37Well, to be honest, I wasn't expecting viewings this quickly,
09:40so I'd have to run it past Sonia.
09:42Oh, yeah, of course.
09:43And we'd require the deposit and two months' rent up front.
09:47Two months?
09:48Yeah, well, that's the market these days.
09:50That's not a problem.
09:51I can send you a bank transfer this afternoon.
09:53So, I've got another viewing in Mile End.
09:56I'll wait to hear from you.
09:59Ah, no, no, the room's yours.
10:02Welcome aboard.
10:03Thanks.
10:06Sonia.
10:07Um, this is Julian.
10:09Julian, this is my girlfriend, Sonia.
10:11Jules, it's lovely to meet you.
10:13Sorry, who are you?
10:14Oh, er, apologies.
10:16I'm your new...
10:17No, no, new.
10:18New to the area.
10:20He was just heading off, weren't you?
10:23Actually, I'm not sure this is for me, after all.
10:26It won't be for you.
10:27Hello!
10:28Sorry, door's open. Hope you don't mind.
10:30And you are?
10:31Briony, I'm here about the spare room.
10:32Before we go on the tour, full disclosure,
10:34I am prone to the occasional night terror, so, er...
10:37How good's your soundproofing?
10:42You've had chance after chance to tell him the truth,
10:45yet all this time you said nothing.
10:48I bottled it, didn't I?
10:50I didn't want to lose what I've only just found.
10:54Look, getting to know your family
10:56was one of the best things that happened to me.
10:59Janet and Will.
11:01I'd do anything for those little kids.
11:04You know, it was Phil who fitted you up, not Will, did you?
11:08What do you mean?
11:11I'm sorry, Billy, I should have told you.
11:14But that's me all over, ain't it?
11:16I'm a bad father,
11:18always looking for the easy way up.
11:21Putting you in care.
11:23Messing your mother about.
11:25But that's the shame and the guilt
11:27I've got to live with for the rest of me days.
11:30So what are you looking for, then?
11:32Forgiveness?
11:33I know I've got no right to ask for that.
11:36But there's no sugar-coating it, is there?
11:40I made a lot of bad, bad mistakes, boy.
11:44But I have put you two together.
11:47And I think that counts for something, doesn't it?
11:51Look, I'm going to leave you two to finish your drinks in peace.
12:01Look, for what it's worth,
12:04I'm very proud to have you two as my boys.
12:21Oh, God.
12:24How could you even think of doing something like this?
12:27Rhys, I've been gone out an hour
12:29and you're practically moving strangers into my house.
12:32In fairness, I didn't imagine anyone would answer the ad so quickly.
12:35It's London, not out of Mongolia.
12:39I mean, do you remember what happened with Jed?
12:43This is my home.
12:45Dot's home.
12:46And I promise you, I'm not going to let you in.
12:49And I promised her I would look after it.
12:52And I'm trying to create a stress-free environment.
12:57We're meant to be a team in this together.
13:00And we are, every step of the way.
13:03I was just trying to think outside the box, raise some extra income.
13:07I know, and I appreciate that.
13:09But we're fine, aren't we? Now you've got that new client on board.
13:12We're doing all right.
13:14No, we're not.
13:17I'm behind on Debbie's care home fees.
13:21Since when?
13:23Well, they've been chasing me for the last couple of weeks
13:26and they called again yesterday.
13:29Yesterday?
13:31So it wasn't that new client who was calling you back?
13:37I've got a couple of days to pay the last bill.
13:42How bad is it?
13:44How far behind are we?
13:49Well, it's just a few weeks.
13:53But I didn't want to worry you.
13:56But that's why I put the ad up.
13:58If this transfer's successful,
14:00in nine months we're going to have another mouth to feed,
14:03more clothes to buy, a nursery to build...
14:06I know, I know. We'll manage, all right? We'll find a way.
14:09But we are not renting out the spare room.
14:11We'll have to think of something else to do.
14:13We'll have to think of something else to do.
14:29No, the, er, bus stop is that way.
14:33You're enjoying this, aren't you?
14:35Yeah, every minute.
14:36You're an hypocrite, you know.
14:38How many of your kids bother to pick up the phone on Father's Day?
14:41You're not talking about me, are we?
14:43No, good thing and all,
14:44because you don't come up smelling the roses either, do you?
14:46You're supposed to be here for Billy, aren't you?
14:48And what have you done for him since you've been here
14:50except make his life even worse?
14:51Billy's my boy and I'll always look out for him.
14:53Your boys will do anything to get away from you.
14:55Yeah, well, what about you?
14:57Your boy's in the nick. Your daughter's in the algarve.
15:00Now, listen to me.
15:02You want to concentrate on the two little ones,
15:04because they're soon going to grow up
15:06and they're going to abandon you and all.
15:08Yeah, well, I might not be perfect,
15:09but one of my kids rot in care.
15:11And I ain't like them about how their mother died either.
15:13You're a joke.
15:15And one of your kids are ashamed of you.
15:20You're still in one piece, then.
15:22I take it you saw them.
15:24For what good is this?
15:25Forgiveness ain't like a tap you turn on and off.
15:29It's got to be earned.
15:30It takes time, effort.
15:33My boys hate me, Mo.
15:35And they're right.
15:37I should have stayed away.
15:39But, uh, I ain't quite prepared to go just yet.
15:46You fancy doing your boyfriend a final favour?
15:49No, no, that's great. No, thank you, mate.
15:51Yeah, I'll be in touch. Cheers.
15:53Hi.
15:54Hi, lads.
15:55Hello.
15:56Putting out feelers for Bobby's birthday.
15:58Well, if you can't let your hair down when you're 21, when can you?
16:01At this rate, it's going to be me, Anna and Freddie
16:03playing darts in the VIP.
16:04What?
16:05I mean, I'm not Bobby's biggest fan,
16:07but surely you can come up with something better than that.
16:09Put your heads together.
16:10I'll talk to your dad. He'll have some ideas.
16:12Yeah, about branding Beal's Eels.
16:15What are you on about?
16:17We only had the relaunch a few weeks ago.
16:19It doesn't need rebranding.
16:20Yeah, and according to him, you two have a meeting tomorrow.
16:23It's the first I've heard of it.
16:26Why would you lie about that?
16:30Great, thanks, everyone.
16:33Ooh, you've saved me a trip.
16:35Zak said he bumped into you earlier and, er, well, it got me thinking.
16:39How's your mate?
16:40Well, I've been trying to do my council week,
16:42but I've not made much headway.
16:44Oh, yeah. Plenty of tools online.
16:46Well, I could do the hand.
16:48I've barely been able to face him since, er, Keanu.
16:52And I know things are a bit squeezed at the moment,
16:54so I thought maybe we could help each other out.
16:56Look, I'd rather your brother didn't broadcast my affairs all over the square.
16:59I told him in confidence.
17:00Yeah, you're right. It's, er... It's not my business. Sorry.
17:04No, no, no, no. I'm sorry.
17:06It's a very kind offer and, um, well,
17:09I'd like to accept it, you know, if it's not too late.
17:12Well, it's only a bit of work, you talk.
17:14I'll take whatever I can get.
17:16You're a lifesaver.
17:18I've been hiring the den for gym classes and boxing sessions.
17:22Must be earned thousands.
17:23How can you hate on that much money?
17:25It's like I chased it up already.
17:27Although, I mean, I'll get on it for you.
17:29It's, um, tomorrow too soon.
17:31It's perfect. Thanks, Rhys.
17:36So is it four pie and mash or five pie and mash?
17:39We'll go to McClunger's if you don't want our business.
17:42Oi, faceache. Oi, what do you want?
17:46I'm not hungry.
17:47Oh, Tommy, come on.
17:49Grandboy needs all the strength he can get.
17:51Yes, I'm not hungry.
17:52Four pie and mash.
17:54What's got into you? You've had a cob on all afternoon.
17:57Hey, anything all right at school?
17:59It's fine.
18:00Is someone getting at you?
18:01I don't want to talk about it.
18:02OK, so there is something, then, yeah?
18:04Come on out with it, or do I go and see the headteacher?
18:06It's 19.20 when you're ready, yeah?
18:08All right, mate.
18:09Phil.
18:12There's a surprise, OK.
18:14So what's Meathead done now, then?
18:16I went to see him. Say hello.
18:18See why he didn't go to my boxing match.
18:20I went to see him. Say hello.
18:22See why he didn't go to my boxing match.
18:24And?
18:25He said I must have got me for kicking the ball at the gate.
18:28It's like he doesn't even want to know me any more.
18:30I'm going to kill him.
18:31No, Kat, no-one's killing anyone.
18:32Look, he took Tommy in, yeah?
18:34Looked after him like he was one of his own.
18:36And now he treats me like a bit of dirt scraped off his shoe.
18:38I'm not having it.
18:39You go in there guns blazing, you just make things worse.
18:41Oh, what, you can have a word with him.
18:43Because he'll wipe the floor with you, as usual.
18:45Stop arguing.
18:47I hate this.
18:48Hold on. You hate what?
18:49Tommy, come back.
18:52Go on, go and talk to him. I'll just make it worse.
18:54Go on.
18:56Oh, is someone going to pay you before you all leave?
19:07Well, any luck?
19:09Fat Elvis took me on some capers,
19:11but you could give him a run for his money.
19:14Here.
19:16I never got to be in my boy's life,
19:18but hopefully this will help him out a bit.
19:22Don't go without saying goodbye.
19:24Don't go without saying goodbye.
19:45Where's my motor?
19:47Son.
19:48Son, you seen my motor?
19:49Yeah, it's really nice.
19:50No, no, I mean, you seen anyone driving it today?
19:52Why, you lent it to someone?
19:53No, no, of course I didn't either.
19:55It's been nicked and my keys have gone missing.
19:57All right, well, don't shout at me. I didn't take it.
19:59Yeah, well, someone has, haven't they?
20:00If I find out who...
20:15I just want to see the kids one last time
20:18and then I'm out of your life for good.
20:21Give me one good reason why I should let you.
20:24I never got to say goodbye to Merlin, did I?
20:27Because you're a better man than I am
20:29and I know you don't want that on your conscience.
20:32Please, Billy, one last time.
20:39All right, love?
20:41I've nearly finished.
20:42It's always a good day's trade when the foot is on.
20:45Why don't you tell Peter we're talking about rebranding this place tomorrow?
20:48Are you fact-checking my every word?
20:50Well, it seems that I might have to, don't you?
20:52You didn't tell me we had a meeting.
20:54Um, well, no, it just slipped my mind.
20:57That was all easily done.
20:59So you are free to talk about Bobby's birthday tomorrow?
21:01Well, like I said, I've got a lot on at the moment,
21:03so maybe next week, yeah?
21:05Ian!
21:06What are you hiding?
21:10All right, fine, there is something.
21:11It's, um...
21:13It's Walford Council.
21:14I'm thinking about standing for re-election as councillor.
21:18Since when?
21:19Well, I've had it on my mind for a while.
21:21And why didn't you tell me?
21:23Well, it's early days, isn't it?
21:25I mean, look, I might not get chosen to be a candidate,
21:27and I don't want to jinx it.
21:29And that's why you've been a bit cloak and dagger recently?
21:31Yeah, but I've been to a few meetings, you know,
21:33on the quiet, lively land.
21:35Oh.
21:36It's about time we started mixing in better circles.
21:38Look, it's early days.
21:39We don't want to get ahead of ourselves too easily.
21:41Um, I thought we could have these for our dinner.
21:44I'm going to miss you, Grandad.
21:48You're a good boy, Will.
21:50Keep up your studies,
21:51and don't let anyone else push you around.
21:57You, young lady,
21:58you can be anything you want to be.
22:00Be good for your mum and dad,
22:02and take care of your brother.
22:04I will.
22:07Come here.
22:08Look at you.
22:11Come here.
22:12Look at you.
22:13It's all right. It's OK.
22:21Right, well, er...
22:23I suppose it's that time.
22:27Thank you for allowing me to fall in love with your beautiful family.
22:31I'm going to quote the Kinks.
22:33I won't forget a single day.
22:35Believe me.
22:40Thank you.
22:51You look happy for someone who's still in the doghouse.
22:56Look, I know I've got a lot of making up to do.
23:00But, well, I've had some better news.
23:03Get on with it, then.
23:04Well, Sharon's off to let me do her books.
23:06On an ad hoc basis, at least.
23:08Oh, right.
23:09It sounds like they're in a right old mess,
23:11so there should be plenty for me to get my teeth into.
23:14It'll help us pay the care home fees.
23:21I'm doing everything I can to give you, well, us, this baby.
23:25I'm just trying to keep our heads above water at the same time.
23:28I know.
23:29But you have to tell me about your money troubles.
23:32And don't spring any more housemates on me.
23:34It's harder than I thought it would be, that's all.
23:37You're telling me I've been poked, prodded,
23:42and we've failed two rounds of IVF,
23:44all the while the clock keeps ticking?
23:47I'm on edge every single day.
23:49I just need you to be honest with me, Rhys.
23:51Don't worry.
23:53No more random housemates, I promise.
23:56And don't let Sharon pay you mates' rates.
23:58You bill her for every penny you're owed.
24:00She can afford it.
24:02Don't worry.
24:04I think this job's just what we've been waiting for.
24:07Yeah.
24:18Maybe that'll teach Phil to keep his pockets done up, eh?
24:21Where you lot been, eh?
24:23I called you hours ago.
24:25In another life, we'd have made a pretty good team, wouldn't we?
24:29What, like the Kray twins?
24:31I was thinking more like Richard Burton, Elizabeth Taylor,
24:36or Bonnie and Clyde.
24:38I always knew you was a romantic at heart.
24:46Goodbye, Maureen.
24:50Bye.
24:58Bye, Billie.
25:01Son, I always loved you.
25:06You all right?
25:08Not really.
25:12I've lost me mum and dad twice over now.
25:17OK, how about we put the match on?
25:19Get a takeaway. My treat.
25:23Yeah.
25:25I'll see what the kids fancy.

25:43You want spring rolls, Bill?
25:45Yeah.
25:52Get some sweet and sour sauce as well.
25:55Gotcha.

26:42Listen, I'm telling you, all right, it's someone from round here,
26:45and if you don't go door to door, I will. Listen to me, yeah?
26:51Turn it up, driver.
26:53And put your foot down while we're at it.
