00:00You've got to talk about this.
00:28There's nothing to talk about.
00:30Sarah, you tell me our marriage is over, then you think there's nothing to say.
00:33This is not the time or the place.
00:35When is the time or the place?
00:39I know it's hard, the farm and that, but how can I make things better if you won't tell me what you want?
00:44This is real life, Jack. Not some fairy tale. You can't wave your magic wand and make it all better.
00:49It's not that simple.
00:51I can't find my jumper.
00:52It's over there.
00:55Oh, look at it.
00:56I haven't had time to wash it.
00:59It's a right mess.
01:00Yeah, it is, isn't it?
01:12Hey, I'm surprised. I thought you'd have packed him off to some posh prep school.
01:16Don't worry. I'll be going private as soon as he hits eleven. Can't have him mixing with yikes from the comprehensive.
01:24Speaking of which, have you heard from Frankie?
01:27No.
01:28Thank goodness for that. You're on to lose that.
01:32What would you know about it?
01:33She turns up on your doorstep for one night, you're stupid enough to take her in, and then she disappears again.
01:39Still, good riddance to bad rubbish. If I were you, I'd forget about her.
01:42Don't tell me how to live my life.
01:44Well, someone's got to talk some sense into you.
01:46You're behaving like a lovesick kid.
01:49Jealous, are we?
01:50At least I've got a personal life.
01:53One night by a fireside does not constitute a relationship.
01:57Even I managed a few months before I got divorced.
02:00How many divorces is it now?
02:02Or have you lost count?
02:04Let's face it, the only long-lasting relationship you've ever had is with your wallet.
02:09You think so?
02:10What's she doing here, then?
02:14Hi.
02:14What brings you here?
02:16I'll come to wish Joseph good luck and bring him this.
02:19That's really kind of you.
02:20Oh, thanks.
02:22So, what do you think?
02:24You look very grown up.
02:26How about I come with you to school?
02:28Well, there's no need.
02:30Claudia's coming with me.
02:31School's got to get to know her.
02:33Seeing as she's the one in charge of trouble here.
02:35You don't mind?
02:37No, of course not.
02:38You go ahead.
02:42Never mind.
02:44At least you don't have to help with his own work.
02:46No, you're right.
02:47I don't have to help anyone.
02:49I don't have to look after anyone except myself.
03:01Where's the rest of the rabble?
03:03School.
03:04I thought you were meant to be taking an interest in the kids.
03:08I'd rather take an interest in their mother.
03:11I don't give up.
03:12What's the problem?
03:14It's your day off.
03:15We've got the house to ourselves.
03:17Yeah, and you've got a haulage yard to run.
03:20You know, I've been thinking maybe we should ask Ashley if he'll take Ollie back in the youth club.
03:24He'll just say no.
03:25Not necessarily.
03:27Not if I use my powers of persuasion.
03:29Anyway, she'll be safer there than hanging around your haulage yard trying to seduce your staff.
03:34If it gives us more time to ourselves, then I'm all for it.
03:38Anything to make you happy.
03:39Sure.
03:40What about work?
03:42I've just given myself the morning off.
03:46Come on.
03:47Oh, and I had to open up on me own and there was a coach party waiting and all.
03:59Betty, I wanted to see Joseph.
04:01You forget what it's like.
04:02It's a big occasion, your first day at school.
04:05Remember what Alice was like.
04:07Sorry I'm late.
04:08Yeah, and what time do you call this?
04:11I said I'm sorry, didn't I?
04:14Did I have a word?
04:15Yeah, thanks Betty.
04:17Oh, customer Betty.
04:19Hi.
04:22Hello my love.
04:26What about a pick-me-up?
04:27What are you doing here?
04:29I'm on a sightseeing tour.
04:31And very nice sights there.
04:33Right, what do you want?
04:35I haven't got her all day.
04:37How about the dish of the day?
04:39It's off.
04:41You know, you used to be a lot friendlier than this.
04:44I'm working.
04:45You shouldn't come round here bothering me.
04:47Right, well I'll bother you someplace else.
04:50I mean it.
04:52You lost your head.
04:53No.
04:54I've lost my heart.
04:59Tell you what, you think about it while I have a nice cup of tea.
05:02Time you and Bernice spent together, if it was any other profession, I'd say you were uncommonly close.
05:13Of course, all your offering is spiritual succour.
05:17Oh dear.
05:18Oh, that's where it's gone.
05:19Bernice was looking.
05:20I found it in the car.
05:23It must have dropped off on the way back from the bowling trip.
05:26I was going to return it.
05:29I thought so.
05:30You love her, don't you?
05:32No.
05:32You fool.
05:34After all Bernice has been through, you think you'll jump in there quick while her defences and heaven knows what else are down.
05:40You don't understand.
05:41Oh yes, I do.
05:42I do.
05:43Believe me, I've been round the block and several inner ring roads.
05:47Not to mention up the M1 of a congested love life.
05:50I'm telling you, leave my girl alone.
05:59What's all that about?
06:00Nothing.
06:02Nothing important.
06:04What do you think, Lefferdad?
06:06It's just I hate to see graves neglected.
06:08Dad always liked roses.
06:11They're lovely.
06:13I used to be a bit of a gardener myself.
06:16Sweet peas.
06:17They were my favourite.
06:19Don't bother growing them now.
06:20Oh, why not?
06:21Well, it seems a waste.
06:23Everybody to share them with.
06:24Oh, Ashley.
06:25You're as bad as me.
06:28Right, that's it.
06:28You're going to meet me in the wall pack later and we're going to have a serious talk about you and Bernice.
06:32Do we have to?
06:33Yes, we do.
06:35OK, OK, OK.
06:37We'll talk about Bernice.
06:37But then you have to tell me exactly what's going on with you and Frankie.
06:53I should be declared a rural disaster area.
06:56Can you do that?
06:57I'm speaking metaphorically.
07:00Get it.
07:01Is it that bad?
07:02Well, so far today I've sold a quarter of pick and mix.
07:06Hardly counts against what I need.
07:07Is there anything I can do?
07:09I don't suppose I could tempt you with a Christmas pudding.
07:13Here, Emily.
07:15Your old man's got another ad in the paper.
07:17What?
07:17While he farms in here.
07:19Oh, he's not selling off more farm machinery, is he?
07:21No, it's not.
07:22Well, he'll have nothing left to use on the farm.
07:24Well, that's the thing.
07:25It's the farm what's up for sale.
07:26Look.
07:27Oh, Sarah, if you spare a minute, this one's for Eric.
07:35Thanks.
07:36Betty.
07:37Betty, rush off my feet.
07:38Can you see the table, too?
07:39It's witty.
07:40Yeah.
07:40How am I expected to eat this?
07:53Well, what's wrong with it?
07:56Well, where does one start?
07:58Cutlery?
07:59I don't seem to have any.
08:01Only they might help me to hack my way through some of this little lot.
08:04So if you could run along and get me some.
08:06You're a good girl.
08:10Ketchup?
08:16I'm sorry?
08:19Hello?
08:20Is there anybody there?
08:21I asked for some ketchup.
08:30One near marriage is in trouble if you're this cheerful at home.
08:35There is your ketchup.
08:37You know where you can stick it.
08:39Sarah?
08:40Oh, go to hell!
08:44What did I say?
08:52What on earth is going on?
08:57Sarah, are you okay?
09:00What's wrong?
09:02Hey.
09:03What is it?
09:04Is it something Eric said?
09:08Oh, I...
09:09No, no, it's not Eric.
09:14It's Jack.
09:16It's Jack and me.
09:18It's Jack.
09:18It's Jack and me.
09:20So you enjoyed it then?
09:36Yes.
09:37What was your teacher like?
09:41Nice.
09:42Well, lucky you.
09:43If you want, I can take him tomorrow.
09:44What's the point?
09:45You seems happy with Claudia, don't you?
09:49See?
09:49I told you you'd be fine.
09:50Yeah.
09:51Didn't even give us a second glance, did he?
09:53No.
09:54Off like a shot when you saw the sandpit.
09:55I didn't even get a goodbye kiss.
09:57Still, I'll get one now.
09:59Come on, you.
10:01How about a quick game for tea?
10:07Oh, that girl is a godsend.
10:08Hmm, you've finally noticed.
10:10Oh, yes, I have.
10:11I mean, she's great with Joseph.
10:12You can see how fond he is of her.
10:14After Rachel, he needs some sort of...
10:16Mother figure?
10:18Well, yeah.
10:19Well, they'd have plenty to pick from.
10:21What with Claudia and now Cathy.
10:24And I thought you'd be pleased.
10:26They're trying to help.
10:27I am.
10:28It's just, I would like to help, too.
10:31No, he'd be too busy working or moping about over Frankie.
10:35That's not true.
10:35Oh, come on.
10:37You come over all maternal.
10:38You start looking for something to fill your sad and lonely life.
10:42I'm sorry?
10:43If Frankie walked through that door, you'd forget about Joseph.
10:46That isn't true.
10:47All I am saying is, just because Frankie doesn't want you,
10:51it doesn't mean that you can use Joseph as some sort of emotional stopgap.
10:54I love Joseph.
10:56I know.
10:57I'm just saying...
10:57I know what you're saying.
10:59You can't stand Frankie.
11:01You can't stand the thought of seeing me happy.
11:03But you're not happy.
11:06Oh, goodness sake.
11:07I don't know why I bother.
11:09I mean, what are you always telling me?
11:11Get a grip on my life?
11:13Maybe it's time you listen to your own advice.
11:15What's that?
11:22Yeah, Bill.
11:23Now shove off.
11:25You can't speak to your customers like that.
11:28I am not coming out with you.
11:30I'm an old woman, a very foolish old woman.
11:33I shouldn't have let you in here.
11:35All I want is for you to come out with me for a cup of tea.
11:39I can't.
11:45Look at us, Reggie.
11:47We're both way past any carrying zone.
11:50Or anything else, if the truth were told.
11:53Don't talk rubbish.
11:55You think you stop having fun the day you get your pension book.
11:59Well, there's a lot of life left in me, mate.
12:01And more than enough in you.
12:03I know.
12:04What about Seth?
12:08Look, I'm asking you out for a cup of tea.
12:11Not for your hand in marriage.
12:14Look, I lost touch with you once.
12:17I don't want it to happen again.
12:19Come out with me, Betty.
12:21A cup of tea.
12:23That's all I'm asking.
12:27All right.
12:28All right.
12:31I'll see what I can do.
12:33That's my girl.
12:37You told him what?
12:39That our marriage was over.
12:41I knew you weren't getting on, but...
12:43That's a bit of an understatement.
12:45Yes, but to say your marriage is over, Sarah...
12:48We haven't been getting on for some months now.
12:51It's like living with an acquaintance half the time.
12:54Oh, we're polite enough, but we don't talk.
12:57Not really.
12:58Yes, but have you tried?
12:59Yeah.
13:01What's the point?
13:01Nothing changes.
13:04There are the kids, but...
13:07Do you know, he even sold my car without telling me.
13:10I'm just sick of it.
13:12It's the same old routine, the same old money problems,
13:15the same flipping sheep.
13:16Yeah, the same, Jack.
13:17Yep.
13:19The same, Jack.
13:22What a mess, eh?
13:22Hi.
13:32We wondered where you got to.
13:34Sure, if we've got youth club?
13:36Yeah, sure.
13:38I'll walk over with you.
13:39No, that's all right.
13:40I'll take him.
13:41See you later, then.
13:45Oh, I'd not realise things were that bad.
13:58Hmm.
14:00Any luck?
14:01No.
14:02There's, er...
14:02There's nobody up at the farm.
14:05And it were boarded up.
14:06What about auctioneers?
14:08Look, there's no forwarding address.
14:09Everything's got to go through the agents.
14:11They said it were repossession.
14:12I don't understand.
14:14My dad owned the farm.
14:15How can they repossess it?
14:17Well, I mean, time's what they are for farmers.
14:21Maybe he had to remorgage the farm to make ends meet.
14:25But my dad would have said if he were in trouble.
14:27He would have told me.
14:28Look, maybe...
14:30Maybe he didn't want to trouble you.
14:32But I'm his daughter.
14:34Why didn't he say something?
14:36I could have helped him.
14:37Why didn't he tell me?
14:38I don't even know where he is.
14:41Perhaps he hasn't had time to get in touch with you yet.
14:44Happened he's staying with relatives?
14:45We don't have any.
14:49What, none?
14:51Not that I know of.
14:53They were just me and him.
14:56Now there's just me.
14:59I don't know where he is.
15:01Because he don't want me to know.
15:06She can't stand the sight of me.
15:08Oh, come on!
15:09I mean, Sarah's probably just...
15:11Well, I don't know.
15:12In one of the other moods.
15:13You know what women are like, crazy.
15:15The last thing she said to me was our marriage was over.
15:17Anything I say or do just irritates her.
15:20I don't know what it is.
15:21I mean, I'm not any different.
15:24It's always been a struggle.
15:25You know, the farm and money.
15:28It's just...
15:29She's changed.
15:30Can I ask you something?
15:33Does your wife have a habit of attacking men?
15:36And she nearly took my head off of the sauce bottle this afternoon.
15:39I don't know what I'm going to do.
15:40Not now, Eric.
15:40Look, I know Ollie was out of order, but she's trying really hard.
15:49I'm not sure.
15:51If you let her go back to the youth club, I promise you there'll be no trouble.
15:54That's rich coming from you.
15:56Oh, I know things have got a bit out of hand recently.
15:59But can't you give her another chance?
16:03Oh, come on.
16:04I mean, you can't hold a grudge against a kid.
16:06Well, I don't blame Ashley for not wanting Ollie back.
16:09That child would try the patience of a saint.
16:11He's a vicar, not a saint.
16:12Okay, okay, okay.
16:14Ollie can come back, but on her best behaviour.
16:17Oh, and there's a joining fee.
16:18Since when?
16:19Since I said so.
16:21Let's just call it reparation for any trouble, bad language or damaged cause.
16:24How much?
16:25Ten pounds to the church roof fund.
16:28The amount of damage Ollie can cause, I'd say that was reasonable.
16:32I told you, a saint.
16:36You know your trouble, Ashley.
16:38You're too good by half.
16:39That's what you are.
16:42Here, here.
16:44So far today, she's called you her knight in shining armour, a saint, which puts you on a par with St George.
16:49I'm not her knight in shining armour.
16:51I'm her vicar.
16:52I don't think that's how she sees you.
16:53That is exactly how she sees me.
16:55Bernice only talks to me the way she does because of my job.
16:58It's got nothing to do with your job.
17:00It's to do with you.
17:02You'll never know if you don't ask.
17:03You've got to tell her how you feel.
17:05I can't.
17:07At least this way I have something, even if it is just being her friend.
17:11You haven't.
17:12You're being dishonest with her and you're being dishonest with yourself.
17:15Oh, and you aren't.
17:16What about you and Frankie?
17:18I don't love Frankie.
17:19No, of course you don't.
17:23So, any more plans for trips with the youth club?
17:26I don't know.
17:27I've no time to talk to Ashley.
17:28I'm surprised.
17:29He can't seem to keep away from here.
17:31It's a pub, Mother.
17:34And he's just here for the drink.
17:36Well, why else would he be here?
17:37He might be a vicar, but he's entitled to some fun.
17:40Good luck to him.
17:40It's completely different from you and Bernice.
17:45Frankie didn't even say goodbye before she left.
17:47What do you expect?
17:48Did you actually tell her how you felt?
17:50I didn't have to.
17:51You didn't.
17:52So, it was clear where you stand.
17:53You tell me I'll be miserable if I don't talk to Bernice.
17:58You will be.
17:59And so will you if you don't talk to Frankie.
18:01Miserable and sad.
18:02Just like me.
18:04Still.
18:05At least I've got my parishioners.
18:08You've got your dog and Chris.
18:12You know she likes you.
18:14And you know Bernice likes you.
18:17Oh, stuff it.
18:18You're right.
18:19You're absolutely right.
18:20I do like her.
18:22I like her a lot.
18:24And do you know if she feels the same way?
18:25Oh, I don't know.
18:26Sometimes I think she does and others.
18:29You know I almost got married once.
18:31Well, blessed.
18:33Her name was Emma and I dumped her at the altar for someone else.
18:37If I'm honest, it was just an excuse.
18:39I looked at her and I just saw a lifetime of cosy evenings in,
18:44drinking wine and listening to classical CDs.
18:48Everyone thought we were perfect together.
18:50Or even Dad.
18:50But I suppose that was the problem.
18:53There was no excitement.
18:56It's different with Frankie.
18:57I'm not certain of her.
18:59I guess that's part of the attraction.
19:03What?
19:04Well, one thing's for sure.
19:06You'll never be certain.
19:08Not unless you talk to her.
19:11Let's go, Ashley.
19:12I think we need to sleep on this.
19:13Oh, for ready?
19:22Yes.
19:22Oh, well, perhaps I'll see you tomorrow.
19:24You can talk about the next youth club do.
19:26Fine.
19:26Me and all.
19:29Better get back and see what's happened to Betty.
19:31See ya.
19:31You know, call it feminine intuition.
19:36Ashley didn't seem his usual self this evening.
19:38Perhaps his mind's on other things.
19:40He's other parishioners to think about, not just you.
19:43Anyway, I'd best get going.
19:45Um, can I escort you across the road?
19:48No, you can't.
19:51Good night.
19:52What did you say that for?
19:53I don't want you being pounced on by him.
19:56Why not?
19:57Right, I liked it.
19:57No, that's what I'm afraid of.
19:59Anyway, it's for your own good.
20:00Oh, leave her alone.
20:01Let her enjoy it.
20:03At least she's got an admirer.
20:04Unlike us two.
20:06Well, you know what our problem is, don't you?
20:08Oh, don't get me started.
20:09There's no talent round here.
20:11Rubbish.
20:12There's loads of gorgeous men in this village.
20:17When I saw her, she was talking to Boward.
20:21You know.
20:22I reckon he's after Diane.
20:26How would you know?
20:29I can tell.
20:30It's my male intuition.
20:35Seth.
20:37What?
20:38You know I...
20:40Well, you know I'm fond of you, don't you?
20:45What's broke this on?
20:46Oh.
20:48Keeping me bit on the side, Happy.
20:51Even though he is a cantankerous old devil.
20:54Ha ha.
20:56I love you and all.
21:03No, you're right.
21:04I should stop lecturing you and get on with it.
21:08Because you know what?
21:09What?
21:11I'm sick of Chris and the dog and Claudia's very sweet, but not the person I want to come home to.
21:17So here's the deal.
21:19What?
21:21I will tell Frankie exactly how I feel.
21:24Great.
21:26If you tell Bernice.
21:30I can't.
21:30It's easier for you.
21:32I have to go and find Frankie.
21:33You know where Bernice is.
21:34It isn't that easy.
21:40Yes, it is.
21:42I'm not going to do it if you don't.
21:45But what if I...
21:45I'm sick of being miserable.
21:47I'm sick of seeing you miserable.
21:49I'm going to go and find Frankie.
21:50I don't care what I have to do.
21:51At least I'll know for certain how she does feel.
21:54Look at us both.
