00:00Right, so I was just to restock the kebab shop because I reckon the rave is going to be ravenous tonight.
00:05You wouldn't have sold a thing in my day.
00:07Yeah? Why's that?
00:09Well, folk don't usually eat at raves.
00:11Yeah. Why not?
00:15Drugs?
00:17There isn't going to be any of that today, is there?
00:19Well, I hear Brian's got a stash to sell.
00:23Brian? Packham? Stash?
00:30Hey! I was going to call you.
00:34So what happened with Bill last night?
00:36Why do you ask?
00:38Well, you weren't after him.
00:40You make it sound like there's something I don't know.
00:42Of course there isn't.
00:44I mean, he was in a bad way and I got him home and put him to bed.
00:48Right. Well, I've called him a few times but he's not replied.
00:54Can't say I blame him.
00:56Look, you know I lied for his sake and you went along with it too.
01:01And I shouldn't have. I should have told him the truth.
01:04We thought we were sparing his feelings.
01:06Well, instead you just, like, compounded his grief.
01:09Cheers, babe.
01:12I'm, um, on my way to pick up the ashes.
01:15Great.
01:17Great. Well, can you bring them to the party?
01:19Yeah, I want our parlay on the best dance floor spot, front left.
01:25Will do.
01:27Excuse me.
01:29Why is front left the best spot?
01:31Just is. Rave folklore.
01:37Hey. You all right?
01:38You got them tunes I asked for?
01:40Yep. All downloaded. Top tuners there, I must say.
01:43Yeah, well, our Apollo had very good taste.
01:45Got it from me. Ops.
01:47You do know I can only do a couple of hours before me shift at the pub, right?
01:50Then me mate Chris is going to take over after that.
01:52Yeah, well, as long as he knows his stuff.
01:54If he does, don't you worry. Don't you worry about that.
01:57Right. You got permission to close the street, then?
01:59Kind of.
02:01What does kind of mean?
02:02Means I didn't. But we'll be fine.
02:05I'll just flash my badge if anyone makes a fuss.
02:07Naughty, naughty.
02:08I'm sure Paul would approve.
02:10Yeah. I think he would, too.
02:14Yes, Rastafari.
02:16Hey, there's a sight I never thought I'd see.
02:18You see, I researched rave culture and this is the look that it gave me.
02:21Personally, I would have gone more for the whole disco thing
02:24with a satin shirt and button to the waist and the tight white pants.
02:27But this is just what suits me.
02:29If you say so, Dave.
02:31But anything to make Bernie happy, right?
02:33I'm sure she appreciates it.
02:35What about Gemma? Is she all right?
02:38She's not stopped all morning, but she says she's fine.
02:41Good.
02:43Hey, Manchester!
02:45Excuse me?
02:47You got any beer, Oz?
02:49Absolutely no idea what you're talking about.
02:52Salmon and trout?
02:54Never mind.
03:01Oh, wow! It looks great.
03:04And, ooh, so do you.
03:07Yeah, well, this track is 35 years old.
03:10Been to some of the best club nights in the world.
03:12Hacienda, back to basics, trade, amnesia, space.
03:17You name it.
03:19In fact, I might have been wearing this the night the twins were conceived.
03:24But Paul always said that this was his favourite dress of mine, so...
03:27And you look fabulous.
03:29Cheers!
03:33Is Billy not with you?
03:35Um, no, he was feeling a bit fragile.
03:38He'll be down in a bit.
03:43How are you feeling?
03:45I need to apologise.
03:48You don't. You really don't.
03:50I really do.
03:52Well, um, thank you for being understanding.
03:55And thank you for not...
03:57You don't even need to say it.
03:59...having come to pick up Paul's ashes.
04:03I'm just giving them to Bernie.
04:05You what?
04:07She's taking them to the rave.
04:10Hey, it's a good job. I love you, Devendra,
04:13cos you are seriously reducing my treat rate.
04:16You can only dance disco.
04:18Oh, come on! Come on, it's easy.
04:20Right, you and I'll head. So we go...
04:22Big fish, little fish, cardboard box.
04:24Big fish, little fish, cardboard box.
04:26You what?
04:27Big fish, little fish, cardboard box.
04:28Come on!
04:29Hey, Bernie!
04:31Big fish, little fish, cardboard box.
04:33Big fish, little fish, cardboard box.
04:35Big fish, little fish, cardboard box.
04:37Come on!
04:39What have you done with Paul's ashes?
04:41He's here. Prime spot.
04:45I was meant to pick them up. We agreed to split them.
04:48Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know, I know.
04:50And I've already done it.
04:52There you go.
04:54Obviously, we need most of them to send up into space.
04:57What are you talking about?
04:59In a balloon!
05:01I just stepped into a parallel universe.
05:04No, I was going to tell you, but...
05:06I'm not having this tiny little bit of him.
05:08How dare you?
05:10Just when I thought you couldn't sink any lower.
05:12Yeah, well, I didn't think you'd need any more.
05:16Right, let me tell you about the ashes.
05:18It is beautiful.
05:20So we launch you up into space...
05:22No, Paul is not going up into space.
05:24Nor should he be dumped on top of a speaker in the middle of the street.
05:28Paul would want to be here enjoying himself.
05:30I'm not having you dictate everything!
05:33You've manipulated me, you've lied to me!
05:36Yeah, well, I lied to protect you.
05:39Now you want all of his ashes, and you're disrespecting him!
05:42Let's not do this here.
05:44No, I am not standing for it!
05:46Yeah, and I'm not standing for you ruining today.
05:48This is about Paul, not you.
05:50I think it's OK to have Paul here at the party.
05:52Thank you!
05:54Well, you could have been more considerate about Billy's feelings.
05:56And I totally agree with him about the ashes.
05:58He deserves more than a tiny little box.
06:01He was his husband!
06:04Come on, let's go and sit down for a bit.
06:10What?
06:11I haven't said anything.
06:12Your face did!
06:21All right, Dave?
06:23Oh.
06:25Not seen you since we were inside.
06:27Yeah.
06:28Happy memories.
06:31How you doing, Andy?
06:32Gone straight, me.
06:34Really?
06:35Wow.
06:36I'll still watch my wallet, if that's all right.
06:38Probably best.
06:41Here's to Minty.
06:42Top lad.
06:44Yeah.
06:47I forgot you used to call him that.
06:49Always had a packet, didn't he?
06:51Brushed his breath in the clink.
07:02Oh, for the love of God!
07:08Gemma!
07:09Are you OK?
07:10Yeah!
07:11Stop asking me if I'm all right, Ches!
07:13I don't want to talk, I just want to dance!
07:23What's that?
07:24What?
07:25What's what?
07:26Are you taking drugs?
07:27Yes!
07:28Paracetamol.
07:30Business with Billy's giving me a headache.
07:32Yeah, but that's because you haven't eaten anything all day.
07:35Come on.
07:36Let's get you a nice, healthy kebab.
07:45I know you're upset.
07:48I'm all right.
07:49You don't need to babysit me, you know.
07:51Just go and dance.
07:53I just want to make sure you're all right.
07:55I'm all right.
07:56Go on.
07:57Go.
08:00Go on.
08:30Go on!

09:54Go on!
09:55Go on!
09:56Go on!
09:57You all right, ma'am?
09:58Yeah.
09:58You?
09:59Yeah, I'm great.
10:06Where's Paul?
10:08He's been in the old disco biscuits.
10:11No, his ashes have gone.
10:14Someone must have moved them.
10:15We'll find them, all right?
10:18Don't panic.
10:23Where are you going?
10:25Give me a wild guess.
10:26What, you think Billy took the ashes?
10:28Well, I don't think he's been carried to heaven
10:29by a flight of angels, though Billy
10:31might be when I get hold of him.
10:32Are you going to go easy on him?
10:33Get out of my way.
10:35Move!
10:36I will move when you promise that you're
10:37going to go easy on him.
10:39Look, Billy's head's all over the place at the moment.
10:41He doesn't know what he's doing half the time.
10:43Last night, he's grieving, OK?
10:47And people do out of character stuff when they're grieving.
10:49So you just need to give him some leeway.
10:52Why?
10:53Why do I have to give him leeway?
10:55What's he done?
10:57He's taken the ashes.
10:58No, you said.
11:00You said last night.
11:02What happened?
11:04Todd?
11:05No.
11:06He just got a bit emotional, that's all.
11:08He probably just took the ashes to keep them safe.
11:11They were safe where they were.
11:13Like Billy's had his churchy thing.
11:15Am I not allowed mine?
11:16He's grieving.
11:17If you say he's grieving one more time,
11:20I'm going to put you through those speakers.
11:23Am I not grieving?
11:25I'm his mother.
11:26He was my son, and I wanted him here today with me
11:30for all this.
11:32I know you did.
11:35But all we're saying is that Billy is really
11:37going through it right now.
11:40Just don't make this worse for him.
11:43You already told him they didn't get to say a proper goodbye.
11:46Bernie, please.
11:48Today has been great.
11:51Just don't spoil it.
12:06You couldn't even give me one day, could you?
12:10Yell, scream, kick the living daylights out of me.
12:15I don't think I can let go of him.
12:22You're going to make me get down there, aren't you?
12:25With my knees?
12:28It's no wonder your knees are bad.
12:29All that bouncing you're doing out there.
12:34You should have seen me in my A-day.
12:38My time to be alive.
12:45What am I going to do without him?
12:48I know, love.
12:51I know.
12:55You know, I'm always telling people that we're more
12:59than just flesh and blood.
13:02Death is in the end.
13:06But this is all I've got left of him.
13:12And if I let go, it's going to be like losing him
13:16all over again.
13:18Oh, God, I'm such a hypocrite, aren't I?
13:23No.
13:25You're just a human being.
13:29Me mum had me dad in the wardrobe for six months.
13:33His ashes, obviously.
13:36Couldn't think what to do with him.
13:39Anyway, it snowed one night, and me dad loved the snow.
13:45Especially when it first came down.
13:46He was like a big kid.
13:50So me mum went out in her slippers,
13:53and she sprinkled his ashes all over the front garden.
13:57Yeah, it's beautiful.
13:59Well, it is and it isn't.
14:02The snow melted, and me dad was all over the path.
14:07Me mum had to sweep his ashes off.
14:10It's supposed to make me feel better.
14:12Well, we wouldn't have that problem if we
14:16sent Paul into space, would we?
14:20Now, I know you think I'm off me head, and maybe I am.
14:22But the point being, you do have to let him go, Bill.
14:32We both do.
14:35But that doesn't mean you're going to lose him again.
14:38Because he'll still be in here.
14:41And he'll always be in here, won't he?
14:46Oh, I'm going to kill you.
14:49You've set me off now.
15:00I should call her back.
15:02She probably thinks we're knocking seven
15:03bells out of each other.
15:07The night is still young.
15:09Even if we're not.
15:13Do you mind if I let a bit of light in here?
15:16You know, before you turn into Mrs. What's-her-face,
15:21sat in her wedding dress with her curtains
15:23closed for the rest of her life.
15:26I've never been compared to Miss Havisham before.
15:28Havisham, that's the one.
15:31There we go.
15:32That's better, isn't it?
15:38Hey, what have God and my dev got in common?
15:41If this is going to be blasphemous, then?
15:43No, they both move in very mysterious ways.
15:48Head's getting the hang of it.
15:50Not as good as me, mind you.
15:53Did I tell you I was once on The Hitman and Her?
15:56Yeah, I was on the stage with Clive.
15:59I met Jason Orange before he was Jason Orange.
16:02I'm impressed.
16:03Yeah, you should be.
16:04Paul would have loved to date.
16:06Do you reckon?
16:11And I think that he would, uh, he'd
16:15love to be sent up to space.
16:19I know you ate the idea.
16:20I did.
16:21I did, but I'm slowly coming round to it.
16:25Seriously?
16:27Yeah, I'll keep my little box of ashes, but.
16:30I'm happy for you to send yours up, up and away.
16:36I'm sorry I went to Todd behind your back.
16:40I should never have asked him to give me the urn.
16:43It's fine.
16:46You forgive me?
16:51So should we go back down there?
16:54For the last hurrah?
17:01Yeah.
17:02Come on, then.
17:04We're not.
17:23I just want to thank you all for coming today.
17:27It means a lot to me and my family.
17:29Kit, get up here, please.
17:33So we've decided we're going to send our Paul's ashes
17:39into space.
17:43Yeah, yeah.
17:43I thought you'd like that, but we can't do it tonight.
17:48But we have got some rockets we're going to let off.
17:52So I want you all to enjoy the fireworks and dance like
17:57there's no tomorrow to one of our Paul's favourites.
18:03Let me show you.
18:05Let me show you love.
18:19I'm so sorry about.
18:22I'm all right.
18:29We okay?
18:43Billy, come here.
