00:00You're serious about getting married?
00:02Whatever.
00:03I sent you a note to say I couldn't come.
00:05I gave it to Alan Pickford to give to you.
00:07Alan?
00:09My mother.
00:09Yeah.
00:10Don't tell me you didn't get it.
00:12I'm very fond of you.
00:15I just don't think I can do this anymore.
00:18I'm arresting you on suspicion of assault.
00:20You're not arresting him!
00:21Some about you bending over in a field that makes me almost unable to contain myself.
00:25Ow!
00:26Tell me about when me dad died.
00:27It wasn't an accident.
00:28She killed him.
00:29We decided against an engagement ring.
00:32So instead, we bought a car between us.
00:35Judith, this is William, my eldest.
00:37She's had that bitch in our house.
00:40Don't come back.
01:30You can't just leave him.
01:32Can't I? Why not?
01:33He left me.
01:34I mean, you can't just abandon him in the middle of nowhere.
01:37What, you think I should let him humiliate me over and over and over again?
01:40Keep pretending that everything's fine and dandy and I'm dealing with it
01:43when in actual fact I'm having a nervous bloody breakdown!
01:46Mum!
02:00Oh.
02:02Are you alright?
02:04Caroline?
02:21Idiot.
02:23You're an idiot.
02:25Why am I an idiot?
02:26I'm telling her.
02:27He probably wasn't even doing anything.
02:29He hates her.
02:30He hates Judith.
02:32He's probably just trying to get rid of her.
02:44Mum.
02:50I'm sorry.
02:52I shouldn't have said anything.
02:53They weren't doing anything.
02:54They were just drunk.
02:55I sent a letter into the house.
02:58It doesn't matter whether they were doing anything or not.
03:01What matters is that he's shallow and weak-willed.
03:06And I can't trust him.
03:09Not as much as I'd like to.
03:12For your sake.
03:14My sake.
03:16Everyone's sake.
03:26Oh.
03:30Are you alright, Mum?
03:34Are you?
03:39Come on.
03:41Come on.
03:55I couldn't find a parking space.
03:57What have they said?
04:00If they're not pressing charges, it is just a caution.
04:03Oh.
04:06Yeah, I know it looks extravagant.
04:09The car.
04:10And, yeah, your mother might have liked one, but I don't know.
04:15She was never bothered about cars.
04:20Odd.
04:22That thing you said about my mother.
04:24Not giving you that note.
04:29Do you wish she had?
04:31Given it you?
04:33Well, you can't think like that, can you?
04:35No, but do you?
04:36No.
04:37Of course not.
04:39You won't cross with her for not doing?
04:42No.
04:46She was a fantastic woman.
04:48My mother.
04:50Yes, you are. You're right.
04:52I certainly got no complaints.
04:58Done and dusted.
05:00And next time, give the weedy little twat a wide berth.
05:04You alright?
05:07What were it about?
05:10Gillian?
05:12You know as much as me, Robbie.
05:33What do you say, Inspector?
05:35Inspector?
05:37Stuff.
05:38I'll see you back there.
05:39Right.
05:41And what was poor Jack tree saying?
05:44Shit.
05:46What kind of shit?
05:47Can I go and lecture to my grandad?
05:48What kind of shit?
05:49Grandad, can I go with you?
05:53Are you OK?
05:54I'm sorry I spoilt your party.
06:06DOOR SLAMS
06:24Ah.
06:27I'm going to me room.
06:29I thought I'd better hang about. You left the door unlocked.
06:32I'll wing seal you.
06:33See if she's alright.
06:34Right.
06:36How are things at the police station?
06:42I'd hate you and Caroline to get the wrong idea about us.
06:46For me dad's sake.
06:48This isn't how he behaves, Raffi. He's a good lad.
06:52I'm sure he is.
06:53God knows why he couldn't rise above it.
06:55He would do, normally.
06:57Kids. Well, boys, anyway.
07:00I helped myself.
07:01Good.
07:02I hope that's...
07:03Absolutely fine.
07:07Sorry about...
07:08What?
07:09Dirty linen.
07:11In public. Me and Caroline.
07:13Hey, listen.
07:15Don't apologise to me.
07:17Not for anything.
07:18I don't judge people.
07:20Never have done.
07:21Life's too short.
07:23Let's be frank.
07:25We're none of us perfect.
07:27The ironic thing is...
07:30What?
07:31Oh, I had this...
07:34Fling...
07:35Thing.
07:36Affair.
07:37Fest.
07:38Embarrassing mistake thing with this Judith.
07:41Four...
07:42Three months ago.
07:44Tell me when I get boring.
07:46Oh, the point is, she...
07:48I was in the house by myself.
07:51Our house.
07:52Mine and Caroline's.
07:53And she turns up.
07:55Judith.
07:56And I can't get rid of her.
07:58When she comes home from school early,
08:00because he's in the middle of his A-levels,
08:02he assumes we're up to stuff.
08:04Which we're not.
08:05Absolutely not.
08:06All over.
08:07Thing of the past.
08:08Big bad mistake.
08:09Desperately grateful to be back with glorious,
08:11snotty, mad Caroline.
08:13Albeit in the spare bedroom.
08:16And now she's gone all berserk
08:18and says I'm out on my ear again.
08:22Shit.
08:24I...
08:26Just got to pop upstairs and see if Raffy's OK.
08:30Sure.
08:46Raff.
08:49I want to know what Paul was saying that made you so cross.
08:53He's an idiot.
08:55Can't say I'd argue with you over that.
08:57And you're an idiot as well.
09:13How's the car?
09:14Smashing.
09:16You couldn't drive me to the nearest railway?
09:19Well, where are you heading?
09:20Well, Harrogate.
09:22I could drive you there.
09:23I'm off over to see Celia.
09:24She's barely seen that car.
09:26But it'll have to be tomorrow morning.
09:28I'm not setting off now.
09:30It's dark.
09:31Fine.
09:32Great.
09:33Is that...
09:34So...
09:35So could I stay?
09:38Can he stay?
09:41Alan's very kindly offered me a lift back to Harrogate
09:43tomorrow morning.
09:44Of course.
09:45Only I'd be grateful if you didn't drink any more.
09:49I don't want you throwing up in the car
09:51before Celia's even sat in it.
09:53Celia all right?
09:56Well, I think she'd have liked a turning car.
09:59Perhaps I should phone for that taxi.
10:00Don't be daft.
10:01You stay put.
10:02All right, I'll go and put Tepler.
10:09You want to stick up for yourself more, you do.
10:12Me?
10:13Yeah.
10:14You know, if you weren't doing out.
10:18If you genuinely weren't doing out with this Judith,
10:23why accept being chucked out?
10:26And presumably half the house is yours.
10:49Morning, everyone!
10:50Daddy's back!
10:51Daddy's home!
10:52Breakfast!
10:53I'm cooking!
10:54Who wants pancakes?
10:55I do!
10:56I do!

11:37Morning.
11:38It's ten to eight.
11:39Yes, I'm sorry I'm late.
11:44Oh.
11:48The Sunday morning service comes from the church of St James the Great.
11:52Oh, piss off.
12:14Do you believe in God?
12:17I used to.
12:18Till the mid to late 1970s.
12:25What happened in the mid to late 1970s?
12:28I'm not sure.
12:30That's when they just seemed to stop going.
12:34Why?
12:35I think I'd like to get married in a church
12:38rather than a registry office on reflection.
12:41Who's that making that din?
12:43Well, we can do.
12:44I don't think it's obligatory these days to believe in God
12:48just because we want to get wed in church.
12:54What the hell on earth do you think you're doing?
12:57Morning, darling.
12:58You shitting world darling me.
13:00Potty mouth.
13:01What are you doing?
13:02Breakfast.
13:03One sum.
13:04Is that John?
13:05Why is she hitting him?
13:06Has he gone back?
13:07You don't live here because I chucked him out of your arsehole.
13:13Half this house is mine.
13:15I wasn't doing anything wrong.
13:16She turned up.
13:17William exaggerated.
13:18Get over it.
13:19Don't you touch that.
13:20And next time your mother smacks me,
13:22you tell her I will smack her right back.
13:25Harder.
13:26You are not making a mess in my kitchen.
13:28That's right.
13:29I'm making a mess in my kitchen.
13:34Shagging that whore.
13:39No.
13:43I do not want you here.
13:46Well, I don't mind you being here.
13:48It isn't like there isn't room, is it?
13:56I might just chuck all your things out, okay?
13:59What's happening?
14:01Nothing.
14:04Behaving like a pig.
14:06Oh, damn.
14:07She shut the window.
14:09I'm not behaving like a pig.
14:11I'm willing to be entirely reasonable.
14:13Are you doing breakfast, Popsicle?
14:14Yes, I am.
14:15Go on.
14:29It's not funny.
14:36Hey, how do you fancy driving over to Buckstone's Ridge?
14:41I don't know.
15:11I don't know.
15:32I'm just off to work.
15:36Raph.
15:41Raph.
16:12Raph.
16:14What have you been saying to our Raph?
16:16Oh, steady on, Julie.
16:17I'm going to the police.
16:18What kind of bloke gets beaten up by a 16-year-old
16:20and goes whining to the police?
16:22Er, how about thank you, Paul, for not pressing charges?
16:24Would have said to him.
16:25Thank you, Paul, for letting him get off with a caution.
16:27What did you say to him?
16:28No.
16:29I would just, like, you know...
16:31What?
16:32I would just say what a fine woman he was.
16:34What idiot?
16:35Any time, love.
16:36Well, he didn't believe you, anyway.
16:38No, he did.
16:40That's to start with, cheeky git.
16:42That's how I describe the way your wallpaper's peeling off
16:45above a window where it's damp.
16:47And your five million pair of shoes.
16:49And that photo he has by his bed of him as Uncle Robbie and his dad.
16:53Yeah, I think that's when he realised
16:55I really had been in your upstairs.
16:59He went mad.
17:00Lick up, bastard.
17:07What?
17:10Oh, God.
17:40PHONE RINGS
18:06PHONE RINGS
18:11Hello?
18:13Gillian?
18:14Yeah?
18:15It's John, Elliot.
18:17Caroline's husband.
18:19Oh.
18:21John.
18:24Hello.
18:25I'm just ringing to say thank you for putting me up last night.
18:29Oh, that's...
18:30I stuck up for myself and, well, she didn't like it.
18:34Not surprisingly.
18:36But I did it.
18:38He's talking to someone.
18:40Who?
18:42I've got no idea. He's smirking. It's probably her.
18:45Judith.
18:46What, I've no idea, Caroline?
18:48I'm sorry I upset you.
18:50I'm sorry I didn't listen to you.
18:52You were right, he's an absolute...
18:55..jerk.
18:56I've spent the best years of my life married to an unreliable,
18:59shallow-minded, self-centred...
19:04..jerk.
19:06Yes?
19:07What am I going to do?
19:09Divorce him and not just talk about it this time.
19:12Sell the house, split everything, start again.
19:14I can't sell this house.
19:16Why?
19:17Because I'm...
19:18I've put so much into it, I've worked so hard for it,
19:21it's perfect, I don't want to...
19:24Anyway, I can't because my mother...
19:26Actually, my mother's probably going to move out
19:29because she's getting married.
19:31Your mother?
19:32Yes.
19:33Your mother is getting married? Who to?
19:35Oh, it's just...
19:39How sweet.
19:46Would you like me to come round?
19:49Would you like to go for a walk?
19:52Would you like to do something?
19:54Me going on about stuff a bit too much probably would have bothered her.
19:59That's such a beautiful part of the world...
20:02John.
20:03John, John, I'm sorry, I've got to go because I'm at work.
20:06Oh, I'm sorry.
20:07Yeah, no problem.
20:08Ta-ta, then.
20:09Me waxing lyrical.
20:10Yeah, aw.
20:11Bye.
20:12Probably see you again sometime, anyway.
20:14Yep, yep.
20:15Bye.
20:16Bye.
20:23Sweet, exotic creature.
20:26Sweet, exotic creature.
20:41So, two o'clock, then?
20:45Jesus Christ.
20:47Is that a cigarette?
20:49Is that very...
20:51How bad is that?
20:53We don't smoke.
20:54Oh.
20:55Ah.
20:56And he's drinking whisky.
20:58At quarter past eleven in the morning.
21:00And he's listening to the bloody archers!
21:03I've got to go.
21:04Right, well, I'll see you at...
21:25Silly bitch!
21:27What kind of example do you think you set these boys, hmm?
21:30Smoking and drinking and fornicating
21:34and wallowing there like some self-indulgent tosser!
21:38How dare you do that?
21:39I do not want you here!
21:41Well, bad luck, I live here, and if I want to smoke and bring women here,
21:45then I'll bring them.
21:47But I don't want to bring women here
21:49because I want our marriage to work!
21:51You mad cow!
21:53Our marriage is over!
21:54It is dead!
21:55It is redundant!
21:56It never was!
21:58And I do not want to waste another second of my life...
22:02Lady!
22:21Anybody told me a few weeks ago
22:24that I'd be sitting up at Buckstones Ridge
22:27holding hands with a man who isn't my husband
22:31and who has just driven me here in his Lexus.
22:34I'd have thought they were pulling my leg.
22:37Not that I'd have ever sat anywhere
22:39holding hands with a man who was my husband.
22:42Kenneth wasn't the hand-holding sort.
22:46I mean, even before the trouble,
22:49I don't need a romantic bone in his body.
22:53And then after, when I found out what a randy sod it'd been,
22:56well, that put the tin lid on any sort of...
23:00anything resembling romantic.
23:03I mean, I stopped going anywhere with him socially.
23:07I mean, he didn't know who knew and who didn't.
23:11And I work on the principle it's always wise to assume the worst.
23:16I mean, it's not nice, is it?
23:18Folk nudging each other, going,
23:20you know, that's her whose husband's at it
23:22with all and sundry behind her back.
23:25I wonder she knows, poor bitch.
23:28I wonder what she's not doing that's making him look elsewhere.
23:33So, you stop in, you don't go out.
23:38And your world gets smaller.
23:42I should have divorced him.
23:45It's easy to say with a child to bring up no money of your own.
23:49I had not worked. I had no career.
23:52I'd given up my job when Caroline was born.
23:55But women did in them days.
23:59I could have killed him one time.
24:03I mean, literally, I could have...
24:07He was decorating the kitchen,
24:10painting the ceiling up a little stepladder.
24:13He was hopeless at anything to do with DIY.
24:18Anyway, he slipped and banged his head.
24:21He must have been out for...
24:24Oh, well, no more than a second or two.
24:27But, of course, I panicked till he came to.
24:31It was only afterwards I realised I'd been slow
24:35and I decided if it ever happened again,
24:38I'd slip a cushion over his face and suffocate him.
24:42HE SIGHS
24:46Have I shocked you?
24:48No.
24:51Oh, God.
24:53I'm sorry I go on about him.
24:56No, no, no, no, I'm just sorry you had it to go through.
25:03I'm only telling you this so you know what sort of woman you're marrying.
25:08Do you fancy a pint in a pub?
25:13I was thinking... Oh, why?
25:16Why don't you stop tonight in Harrogate?
25:20Oh, I don't mean anything untoward.
25:23I've got a spare room.
25:25Only it's going to be a long haul for you otherwise,
25:29taking me back to Harrogate, then setting off to Halifax.
25:33And you were up at the crack of dawn this morning.
25:38I'd have to buy a toothbrush.
25:40HE CHUCKLES
25:56Ralph?
26:01Ralphie?
26:08HE SIGHS
26:24Answer it.
26:26I can't do it, Paul. Leave a message and I'll ring you back.
26:29Ralph, it's me. Where are you?
26:32Just ring me or text me. I need to know where you are.
26:37I'm sorry if I've upset you.
26:39I know I've upset you, but I need to know that you're all right.

27:01Oh, shit.

27:12Gillian? Is Ralph with you?
27:14He is, yeah.
27:17Is he all right?
27:19He is absolutely fine.
27:23What's he said?
27:25Nothing. I can't talk to him.
27:27He's a bit busy at the minute. He's on the Xbox.
27:29Yeah? Well, get him off the...
27:31To be frank with you, Gillian, I don't think he'd want to talk to you.
27:34I don't know what's happened, other than him fighting with that dickhead,
27:37but I assume something has.
27:39I assume that he's finally seen the light and worked out what a mad bitch you are,
27:42so, you know, if he wants to move in here, that's fine by me.
27:46I'm not keeping him here by force.
27:48Don't you dare fill his head with rubbish about me.
27:51Will that be everything, then?
27:53You just tell him to ring me.

28:39Sorry I had to ring off this morning.
28:41Only, er, boss were breathing down my neck and...
28:43No, no, that's... I thought nothing of it.
28:46Good. Good. Good.
28:49So, how's things progressing?
28:52Oh, she's having a little coven in the garden
28:55with some insipid little witch that she works with.
28:58Nice.
28:59Lauren says she's a lesbian.
29:01God knows why Caroline's invited her here.
29:04You know what you said last night
29:07about you having this affair with this...
29:11Judith?
29:14Yeah?
29:16Well...
29:19I did something similar, and...
29:22You did?
29:24Yeah, and...
29:26SIGHS
29:28Stupid, stupid thing.
29:31And Raph's found out, and that's what that fight was about.
29:34And he's gone to live with Robbie.
29:36That's his uncle, the policeman.
29:39And he's a right bastard, and...
29:44Bollocks!
29:46It was exactly the same when me and Richard got divorced.
29:49Neither of us could afford to buy the other one out,
29:51so we had to sell up, split everything.
29:53Right down the middle.
29:55Beautiful house we had.
29:57Heartbreaking.
29:59But you find a way forward.
30:02I'm going to have to get proper legal advice.
30:06Yes, obviously. I don't know what I'm talking about.
30:10Don't you?
30:12I was being sarcastic.
30:13I just said I've been through exactly the same thing,
30:15but yes, you should get proper legal advice.
30:17Why are you being so snippy?
30:18Why?
30:21What?
30:26My dad's got Alzheimer's.
30:28Did you know that?
30:30God, I'm so sorry.
30:32There's a million and one things you don't know about me, Caroline.
30:36Because you never ask.
30:38And I try not to inflict things on people
30:40unless I think they're actually interested,
30:42but I've never really had the impression that you were.
30:44But you just take it for granted that I'll be interested in you, don't you?
30:48You offered to come round.
30:50But you rang me up after you dumped me.
30:54You rang me up expecting me to be sympathetic,
30:57which I am.
30:59Not that it'll do me any good.
31:01And then you're like a man.
31:03You just make this subconscious decision
31:05that I haven't got a clue what I'm talking about,
31:07even though I've been through it.
31:08I think you're overreacting. You're reading things.
31:10And then having a go at me last week.
31:12But talking to someone when I was upset about what had happened.
31:15Someone who was sympathetic and interested.
31:17Michael bloody Dobson. He tried to blackmail me.
31:20He didn't.
31:21You'd better go.
31:25Am I being dismissed?
31:26I shouldn't have rung you up. I'm sorry I did.
31:31Don't say that.
31:34I just want you to understand...
31:37..the effect...
31:39..you have...
31:41..on me.
31:45If you ring me, I'll run round here,
31:47even though I know you're not really interested in me.
31:50I'm not...
31:52..not interested in you.
31:56I'm...
32:00I don't know what I am.
32:02You're right, I've never asked you anything about you,
32:04and it's not because I don't...
32:07..it's because I'm selfish...
32:09..and hopeless.
32:11And you've been a really good friend,
32:13and I don't know how to be a good friend...
32:16..to anyone.
32:21My parents never got on.
32:23I grew up in a house on my own,
32:25with these people who never spoke to each other unless they had to,
32:28and I thought that was normal.
32:30And now she's met this bloke, this Alan,
32:32and he's a sweet man, and he thinks the world of her,
32:35and she thinks the world of him,
32:37and she's so different.
32:40And I can't help wondering
32:42if she'd been in love with my dad,
32:44and he'd been in love with her,
32:46her different things would have been.
32:51I don't know what normal relationships are like.
32:54I see them, but I don't know how to do them.
32:57So I'm sorry.
32:59I'm sorry if I've hurt you...
33:01..taken you for granted.
33:04I will endeavour not to do that...
33:08..in the future.
33:12Because I do value your friendship, and...
33:17..I'm sorry if I've never said that or made that clear or done what...
33:23..I should have done.
33:27Normal people do, to express these things.
33:32So I'm sorry.
33:42I think you've got to give yourself a break, Gillian, I really do.
33:46He's 16 years old. Give him a week.
33:49Give him a week with Robbie's microwave cooking.
33:51Give Robbie a week with a bloody teenager in the house, honestly.
33:54You know where he is, you know he's safe.
33:56OK, he's had a shock, he's found out his mother has sex.
33:59Get over it. I know, I know.
34:01It's just life, you know, and he has to realise that you have...
34:05You know, just like everyone else does, urges, feelings.
34:09When he's an adult, he'll get it.
34:11He will not look back on you and make judgements.
34:13He just needs a little bit of time.
34:15Step back for me, Gillian.
34:17I know it's not easy, he's your boy, but... Yeah.
34:20..if you can... Yeah, yeah.
34:23Yeah, you're right, you're right.
34:25Oh, kids.
34:31Gosh.
34:36So, how's things in the garden?
34:39Oh, much the same.

35:52Who did this?
35:54Who did it?
35:56Was it Raph?
35:58Robbie?
36:03Come on.
36:05Let's get you inside.
36:07HE GRUNTS
36:13HE SCREAMS
36:21HE SIGHS
36:32I think we should get you up to Princess Royal.
36:35I'll be right.
36:41What happened?
36:43HE SIGHS
36:49Darren and Gavin.
36:52Hayley's brothers found out I'd been at it with you,
36:55so them and a couple of big bastards laid into me.
37:01So, I...
37:03I guess the engagement's off, eh?
37:06Josie's sad.
37:09SHE SIGHS
37:12They said they was going to pour petrol over me and set me on fire.
37:18And I believed them.
37:24SHE SOBS
37:27SHE SNIFFS
37:29SHE SOBS
37:35Step, Granny.
37:44Morning.
37:46Hi.
37:48Just to let you know... Oh, you're very smart.
37:50..me and Alan are popping over to Halifax
37:52to look at possible venues for the wedding,
37:55so I won't be here this evening.
37:57I'll be stopping over at Chillian's with Alan.
37:59Right.
38:01I'm sorry to pop over so early, but you'll be going to work, so...
38:04Brush your teeth. Where are my shoes?
38:07Wherever you left them!
38:09He's very nervous. He's got his first English paper.
38:14He stopped over last night, Alan.
38:16Yes, I assumed. I, um...saw the car.
38:21He was going to sleep in the spare bedroom, but...
38:24I don't know, one thing led to another,
38:26and I've got a double bed and we are getting married, so...
38:31..we shared the same bed.
38:34OK.
38:37I don't know what people will think.
38:40Well, good for you.
38:42I just thought, what the hell? What people?
38:46I don't care. Anyone.
38:50Right.
38:51As I say, it's not as though we're not getting married, cos we are, so...
38:54So?
38:56You don't mind?
38:58Me? No. No, of course not.
39:02So?
39:04It's great.
39:09I'm talking about sex. Yes, I realise that.
39:12It was marvellous. I'd forgotten.
39:16I can be quite romantic when push comes to shove.
39:19Not that your dad ever appreciated that.
39:21Can you not? Just... What?
39:23Well, it's... Have I embarrassed you?
39:26I don't need to know. It's fine. It's fine.
39:28Whatever you do, it's fine. It's good.
39:30You're adults. It's...
39:32I thought you might be happy for me.
39:34I am. I am.
39:37I love you, you know. I know you do.
39:40SHE SIGHS
40:11I can't get through to our Gillian.
40:13She's not answering her mobile or anything.
40:18Can I get you some more tea?
40:21No, no. No, no, I'm fine.
40:23Another egg?
40:25No, thanks.
40:33Sorry, what did you say? Something about Gillian?
40:41HEAVY BREATHING
41:03SIREN BLARES
41:10Right, where to?
41:13I can't go on.
41:15My dad's chucked me out and my mum says she never wants to clap eyes on me again.
41:29I'm not giving you Raffy's room.

43:03Um, I, um...
43:05You shouldn't ring this number. What if Caroline had answered it?
43:07Isn't she at work?
43:09You couldn't lend me some money, could you?
43:11It's just that the landlord's getting...
43:14..unpleasant with me about the rent arrears and...
43:18You get benefits for that.
43:20Yeah, yeah.
43:22The thing is...
43:25..I've spent it.
43:27Jesus.
43:29And you don't want me turning up on your doorstep, do you?
43:33I must have spent hours in here when I was a kid.
43:36Yeah, so did I.
43:38I always tried to wangle it so that we'd sit somewhere...
43:43..where I could gaze at you.
43:45You didn't.
43:47You daft article.
43:49You were the only thing that made it bearable.
43:51I hated it, Judge.
43:54I used to get so bored and miserable.
43:58Yeah.
44:01Yeah, well...
44:03Mind you, it's better than all this happy-clappy stuff they have now.
44:07Do you want a mint?
44:09Is it? Why? The reason for the happy-clappy stuff...
44:12..is people actually look like they want to be there.
44:14Well, it's not proper, is it?
44:16They have pop songs at funerals now.
44:19Yeah, so what?
44:21Pop songs at funerals.
44:23Religion when we were kids was all about control.
44:27It was about the ruling class being hand-in-glove with the church
44:30to keep ordinary, hard-working people terrified of having a mind of their own.
44:35Was it, Al?
44:37No, it was. You think about it.
44:41I won't get into a debate.
44:43Why shouldn't you have a pop song at a funeral?
44:46If it's something that you've liked,
44:48something that's meant something to you.
44:51Pop songs are for discos and pubs and social clubs.
44:56In church, you sing hymns.
44:58Pop songs at funerals are about ordinary folk
45:01celebrating whatever in their own way,
45:04not accepting what's inflicted on them by people in high places
45:09who just want to keep everybody frightened and miserable.
45:12Well...
45:16..some people need people in high places
45:19to tell them what's what now and again.
45:21You're going to tell me next you voted for Margaret Thatcher.
45:26Well, he can't have liked Michael Foote.
45:30In his anorak at the Cenotaph.
45:32A very intelligent man, Michael Foote.
45:34Oh, he can't have been that intelligent
45:36or he wouldn't have gone round looking like a scarecrow.
45:40I didn't dislike Tony Blair...
45:42Oh!
45:43..until he muckied his tickets in Iraq.
45:45Now, go on.
45:47Gordon Brown?
45:49Trying to get everybody to like him with his phony grin.
45:53And he's Scottish.
45:55Now, there's an unassailable political argument.
45:58Well, it hardly needs pointing out, he buggered up the economy.
46:01No, he didn't. He did not.
46:04He had vision.
46:05Oh, God, I can see this is a subject we're going to have to avoid.
46:08No, don't worry.
46:09I'm not going to have to avoid it.
46:11I'm not going to have to avoid it.
46:13Oh, God, I can see this is a subject we're going to have to avoid.
46:16No, don't worry. I'll teach you.
46:18You damn well won't.
46:20You will buy your copy of The Guardian.
46:22You can keep your Guardian.
46:24I thought I spotted a Daily Mail lurking in your recycling bin.
46:28What's wrong with The Daily Mail?
46:30What's wrong with it? What's right with it?
46:32Do you know, I'd never have had you down for red-hot labour.
46:37I thought you had more about you.
46:39Do you know the good thing about David Cameron
46:42is that even he knows he's an arse.
46:45Now, every time he opens his mouth, you can see him thinking,
46:48I was born an arse, I'll die an arse,
46:51but at least I know I'm an arse.
46:54You've suddenly got very coarse, Mr Buttershaw.
46:58So what would you be walking down the aisle to, then?
47:01Hmm? Jerusalem?
47:03Rule Britannia?
47:07The arrival of the Queen of Sheba.
47:09LAUGHTER
47:13What?
47:15What?
47:18No, no, that's...
47:20What?
47:22It's very appropriate.
47:26I'd turn up for that.
47:28I can see how I'm going to have to re-educate you, Alan Buttershaw.
47:33Does that mean I get to choose the music we walk out to?
47:37Hell, no.
47:39It's become screamingly obvious I can't trust you any further.
47:43I could shuck you.
47:45Hey.
47:47I forgot we're in church.
47:49We've been swearing like troopers.
47:51Well, they'd better find Vicar, then.
47:55If this is what you want.
47:57Well, not if you think I'm oppressing the masses.
48:00It'll be worth oppressing the masses for half an hour or so
48:04of arriving like the Queen of Sheba.
48:10I hope he isn't a woman.
48:13Who? The Vicar.
48:21If you're insisting, on a Saturday slot,
48:24you're looking at four...
48:27..five months away.
48:30I think sooner rather than later.
48:35Are either of you divorced?
48:37No. No.
48:39Widowed.
48:42And you're both regular churchgoers, obviously.
48:47Well, we have been in the past.
48:54So you're not regular churchgoers now?
48:57Not... No.
49:00When did you last go to church?
49:04Christmas?
49:0619077.
49:12What about you, Mrs Dawson?
49:14About the same.
49:17So, why do you want God's blessing
49:21if you don't go to church?
49:23If you don't go to church...
49:26..I'm just interested.
49:34We thought he might like the trade.
49:49Miserable bitch!
49:52I mean, they're wonderful. Don't go.
49:57Well, we could live off a brush.
50:00Ah, but then you wouldn't be Mrs Buttershaw.
50:03No. And I fancy having a do.
50:06I want to buy a hat.
50:08We could find another vicar. I bet they're not all like that.
50:11No, she's put me off. That's it. Now with me and the church.
50:14End of Goodnight Vienna. I have left the building.
50:18Well, where would you like to get wed?
50:20You can get wed anywhere now, you know.
50:23Oh, somewhere classy.
50:26Oh, yeah.
50:28South Harham Hall.
50:30South Harham Hall.
50:32Oh, I used to love South Harham Hall.
50:35Is it still there?
50:37Yeah, as far as I know.
50:39They've not mucked it up?
50:40No, I think it's just as creepy as it ever was.
51:21What's he doing here?
51:23It's my house.
51:26Slapper.
51:29Yeah, whatever.
51:31What do you mean?
51:33Is this what...?
51:35You and him?
51:40Right, I'm off upstairs to get the rest of my stuff.
51:43See you later.
51:46Right, I'm off upstairs to get the rest of my stuff.
51:51I'll be outside.
51:54You really do need your head examined.
52:16Ah!
52:28Hello?
52:30Show up.
52:36Nobody about.
52:37It doesn't look like it.
52:40Hello?
52:45Hello?
52:51Hello?
53:07My cousin Alice saw a ghost here once.
53:10Where?
53:11Er, upstairs.
53:13What was it like?
53:16A woman.
53:33Don't go.
53:35I can't chuck him out. He's got nowhere else to go.
53:38I'll go.
53:39He can't. He... He can't.
53:43He can't.
53:50Don't.
53:52Don't.
54:11I... I think it was this room.
54:22I think it was this room.
54:28She came through that door,
54:31she walked across here,
54:33and disappeared through that wall.
54:49Shall we go?
54:52Palakot?
54:54Let's go.
55:15Hello?
55:16Is anybody there?
55:17Hello?
55:19Telephone.
55:23I've got no reception.
55:25Neither have I.
55:53Oh!
56:10Do you think anyone's realised that we're missing?
56:13I just worry about my dad having his pills on him.
56:15For his heart.
56:16There's somebody up there.
56:18How do you know he hasn't taken her to some hotel
56:20on a wild night of nudge, nudge, wink, wink?
56:22Where the hell are they?
56:24Something weird's happening.
56:25Why's the car there and them not in it?
56:27You still have to stay sober long enough
56:28to actually get it down in black and white.
56:30Piss off!
56:31Do you think they're dead?
56:32What were you doing with that dipstick?
56:34Did you torch my lumber?
56:35I'm not living under the same roof as you
56:36while you're having it off with someone else!
56:38Well, you know where the door is.
