00:00Oh, you alright, it's nice.
00:07Alright, son.
00:09Oh, careful!
00:11Oh, careful!
00:13Right, kids, careful!
00:15Sorry, son!
00:17Sorry, son!
00:19Sorry, son!
00:21Sorry, son!
00:23Sorry, son!
00:25Sorry, son!
00:27Sorry, son!
00:29Sorry, son!
00:30Sorry, my feral kids, I've got another six weeks of this!
00:33It's alright, it was my fault.
00:34And I love seeing them enjoy themselves over the summer.
00:36Oh, yeah, it's alright for you.
00:37Yours has blown the nest.
00:39Right, come on, you lot in.
00:40Your dinner's on the table.
00:42What's for dinner?
00:43Well, we're skint, so bogeys on toast.
00:46Looks like you've got a right houseful.
00:48I've been lumbered with cats, lot and all.
00:50Like I ain't got enough bellies to feed.
00:53Tala!
01:00DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES
01:12What are you doing in the dark?
01:14It's a gorgeous evening.
01:21Have you paid the care home fees, like you said?
01:23Yeah, well, we're up to date.
01:26We're out of the red.
01:27Nothing in this game for two in a bed.
01:30It's bullseye.
01:32Rease focus.
01:34I'm happy.
01:36I mean, you're pregnant.
01:41Broken biscuits?
01:43Yeah, I grew up on them.
01:44And like you always say, you look after the pennies
01:46and the pounds will look after themselves.
01:48Yeah, but we can afford unbroken ones.
01:50Darling, having a baby costs money.
01:53And yesterday, we owed 13 and a half grand.
01:56It doesn't hurt to tighten our belts for next time.
01:59They won't be next time.
02:00You don't know that.
02:01Look, I do.
02:02Because you're having a much-longed-for baby
02:04and I won't let you live off broken promises
02:07or broken dreams or...
02:09Hey, they're just biscuits.
02:11They're not, are they?
02:13I'm not going to fail you like I failed Debbie.
02:15Hey, what do you mean?
02:18You've devoted your life to Debbie.
02:20It's not going to be a compromise when the baby comes.
02:22And who am I to be happy when she's lying there all alone?
02:25Oh, no.
02:27You need to let me help you more.
02:30I'll start by hanging this lot up.
02:32That's all right. I said I'd do it.
02:34It's OK.
02:45Oh, Sharon.
02:46Anything all right?
02:47Yeah, fine.
02:49It's Phil.
02:50He wants to see the letter from the taxman.
02:53Yeah.
03:00So I picked up this reprobate on the way home.
03:03You all right, Nan?
03:04Yeah.
03:05You got any crutches knocking about?
03:07Why?
03:08I told Meat Raffle Rita I busted me leg,
03:11so she said we can have her caravan.
03:13Yeah, of course she did.
03:15Hey, hey, Club Tropicana, here we come.
03:19So the boys are outside rehearsing a karaoke song for the kids' club.
03:22Oh, they're their father's sons, all right.
03:25Is Tommy all right?
03:27Why, is he not here?
03:28Oh, his hormones are all over the shop,
03:30so I just thought I'd give him a bit of space.
03:32Space?
03:33We're about to all be stuck in a caravan for a week.
03:35It's going to be like an explosion in a firework factory.
03:37Has he said anything?
03:39About what?
03:40The twins lost his bike.
03:42But don't say anything to him.
03:43I just want to get to the caravan without a hitch.
03:45Me too. I ain't done me bikini line for nothing.
03:47Anyway, see you later.
03:49Yeah, see you later.
03:50Oh, I think I might have to get my bikini line done and all.
03:52Yeah.
03:53Do you think I'll still get away with wearing one of these round the pool?
03:56Club Tropicana.
03:59That's a lovely blouse, is it?
04:03The letter, Rhys.
04:05Well, it's gone. I shredded it.
04:08Why?
04:09Well, we donate all our shredded paper to the Gerbil Rescue Centre.
04:13Well, why would you shred it?
04:15Phil still doesn't believe it.
04:17I don't believe it.
04:18I don't believe it.
04:19I don't believe it.
04:20I don't believe it.
04:21I don't believe it.
04:22I don't believe it.
04:23I don't believe it.
04:24I don't believe it.
04:25Well, why would you shred it?
04:27Phil still doesn't believe that we owe £13,500,
04:30so I'll give him a call.
04:32Get a copy.
04:33Well, you don't owe it. Not anymore.
04:36No, I, um...
04:37No, I found a loophole.
04:39Oh, I thought you'd explored every option.
04:41I had, um...
04:42And then I remembered the, uh...
04:44the 2017 Finance Act legislation on disguised remuneration.
04:48Right. Um, when will the money be back in our account?
04:50Tomorrow.
04:51That's great. Thanks.
04:53Well, unless that is you want to double it.
04:57Well, the casino didn't have you down as a gambling man.
05:00Oh, no, no, I'm not.
05:02I'd never gamble a client's money.
05:04No, um...
05:05No, it's a high-yield investment scheme started by friends from uni.
05:09They've made a fortune.
05:11Well, I'd rather have the money.
05:14As your accountant, I think that's unwise.
05:17I mean, the money was going to the taxman anyway,
05:19so why not make it work for you instead?
05:23Or double it?
05:25Or triple it, you know, if the market goes the way that's predicted.
05:30Well, you found that tax loophole, so I trust your judgment.
05:33Go on, then.
05:39I think that's a very good decision.
05:41Oh, it is. I may be so bummed.
05:43You may.
05:44Uh, bring the paperwork to Peggy's later.
05:46Phil will want to have a look at it before we sign.
05:48Thanks, Rhys.
05:54PHONE VIBRATES
06:08You can tell Sam Mitchell came up with these cocktails.
06:11They're about as dated as her manky camel cramp.
06:14Wait, I didn't think you knew Sam.
06:16She's my brother's mum.
06:18Oh.
06:19Two of my dad's three kids are spawned from Mitchell belongs.
06:23Odd one out.
06:25Well, my brother is half Mitchell too, so what does that make us?
06:29Gone lucky?
06:31Well, I'll just settle for Wicked Stepsisters.
06:33OK.
06:37Oh, Cosmopolitan. How dated is this?
06:40What, are we at a barn dance?
06:43I came up with that menu, actually.
06:48I came up with that menu, actually,
06:51and you are organising one theme night,
06:54so don't get carried away.
06:56All right.
06:57Cheers.
06:59No, no.
07:02No, no, no, no.
07:04SHE HITS THE DEVICE
07:08SHE BOTH GASP
07:10No, no. No, no, no, no, no.
07:26Right, don't be long, eh? If we miss this train, we can't afford a new ticket.
07:35No, I won't. This way, he ain't got time to have a ruck, has he?
07:38Hey, Kat. What?
07:39Listen, don't let him wrap around your little finger, all right?
07:45Are we going to this caravan or what? Yeah, I'm going to grab Tommy and then we're
07:50off. Teenage boys, eh? He's well-moody. Are you sure it's just about
07:54the twins losing his bike? Yeah. Where is he?
07:57Oh, he's in there. Here, I've got your sack. Come on, get a wriggle, haven't we got a train
08:03to catch? There'll be loads of boys there your age and
08:07the twins will be in the kids' club, yeah? Out your hair.
08:10I ain't angry with the twins. I'm angry with you for hitting me.
08:14I did not hit you. I shouldn't have shoved you, I'm sorry. I ain't told anyone about
08:23it. No, my secret's safe.
08:25Sorry, I shouldn't have done it. No, you shouldn't.
08:28I apologised. You hit me first. What, that makes it all right?
08:33No. I'm just waiting for an apology.
08:36You ain't getting one. You punched your own mother in the stomach.
08:40I've got the bruises to prove it. Come on, I ain't missing the train.
08:45I ain't going. You are. Or I'll tell Alfie what a little
08:48thug you are, yeah? And then we'll have the social services on the doorstep in no time.
08:52Go on, then. Right, are you all ready for the caravan
08:55of dreams? We'll go without you, then.
08:59Hold on, whoa, whoa, whoa. What's going on? You'd like that, wouldn't you? Happy families
09:03but I'm not there. You are part of this family whether you like it or not.
09:06Well, Alfie ain't my dad and I wish he weren't my mum.
09:08Hey, hey, you don't talk to your mother like that.
09:10Come on, outside, don't touch me. Right, hold on, let's just calm down.
09:15All right, I'm his mum and I do what I like. Look, get her away from me.
09:19You are coming to the caravan. Well, just take it easy, yeah?
09:23All right, holiday's cancelled. Mum!
09:26I want to do karaoke. You can't cancel their holiday.
09:30Well, blame Tommy and these two. And you, don't you undermine me and my own kid again.
09:40Oh, I'm nearly finished if you fancy a rendezvous with an old friend.
09:44Yeah, you were your French. Oh, I was always the smart one.
09:47Well, I've done so well with my life. Hey, don't knock an honest day's graft.
09:51Wish Rhys had something less stressful. Yeah?
09:54Right, what's up? Well, he just, he spends so much time looking
09:57after other people's finances, he forgets about his own.
10:00He's working himself into an early grave just to make ends meet. Not fair.
10:04You are talking about his job, ain't you? Yeah.
10:07Bet that wife of his can't hang around forever, can she?
10:10You might inherit a few bob of her life insurance.
10:12If she slipped away, it wouldn't be a bad thing. The care home fees are crippling us.
10:18Hey, you all right? Yeah.
10:21Sorry, that was awful. You said it.
10:24You said it. All right, stop it. I'm ashamed of myself.
10:32Go on. Phil, hold on.
10:35So what, you want to go first?
10:37What's this? Midnight ride? It's classified.
10:41No, we just need to get photos retaken for our security lanyards
10:45and he wants me to go first so he can do his hair.
10:49Cheers, boss. Yeah.
10:51How can I help? I got a surprise for Lexi.
10:55Listen, I'm sorry about her party. Forget it, it's all done and dusted now.
11:00I bought her some flights, a trip to America, for her birthday, to see her dad.
11:05And you and Kathy can go, and I'll work. It's all on me.
11:10Phil, that's really generous.
11:12Well, I think for you it's for Ben.
11:14Ah, well, on behalf of Ben, then, thanks.
11:17When will you be leaving? Next week.
11:19It's official notice, isn't it? I don't know if I can get the time off work.
11:22You can find time to get your hair done, can't you?
11:25You can find time for Ben and Lexi, you know.
11:32Why are we here before it opens?
11:34Because there is loads to do.
11:36You can help with the bottling up, if you like.
11:39I don't know what that means. I've only ever heard it on telly.
11:43OK, remind me why I should hire you again.
11:45Because I'm fond to have around this morgue.
11:48Oi!
11:51Is he a break?
11:52No, we've only just started, and that's 50 quid a bottle.
11:56Yeah, well, as the employer of a wheelchair user,
11:59you are legally obliged to make reasonable adjustments.
12:06Legally obliged, you say?
12:19Bill, what a surprise.
12:21What were you expecting?
12:23A cherub playing a gold-plated trumpet.
12:25I own the gaff.
12:27You pay for that?
12:29I was going to put the money in the till later.
12:32And you can afford that, can you, on barmaid's wages?
12:34Well, I'm the manager, so...
12:36Not any more, you're not.
12:37You've been demoted for stealing and drinking at work.
12:40I can't do that.
12:42I've just done it. Anyone who thinks they can take me for a mug has had it.
12:49Where's that money?
12:51He wants to talk about an investment opportunity.
12:54I thought we could discuss it over a few drinks.
13:03What was all that about?
13:04What?
13:05That scene with you and Tommy?
13:07I don't know.
13:08Oh, don't be a brat.
13:09Me, a brat? Yeah, right.
13:10Listen, Tom's not talking to anyone at the moment,
13:12so I just want an explanation from his mother,
13:15how it turned so nasty and ugly so quickly, yeah?
13:20Oh, he's going to sit there and sulk.
13:22Yeah, like mother, like son.
13:26Well, excuse me,
13:27while I go and make her up to the twins for their cancelled holiday.
13:35No, no, no, I don't believe a word of it.
13:37I can assure you...
13:38Are you still here?
13:39Phil!
13:41I can't believe you've fallen for this. He's a con man.
13:43Please.
13:44He's a great accountant and I trust him implicitly.
13:47And he found that tax loophole.
13:49No, we're not signing up for this. I want our money back.
13:51I don't want you missing out.
13:53It's fine, Rhys.
13:54I gave you the courtesy of telling you about the investment,
13:57but I'm not asking your permission, OK?
14:00I am the sole signatory of our finances.
14:04So thank you, Rhys.
14:07It's been a pleasure doing business with you.
14:11Would you excuse me?
14:13You've got a few weeks, eh?
14:16Then I want our money back, doubled.
14:18For the highest yield, I would urge you to wait the full three...
14:21No, no, no.
14:22If you don't show us our money when I click my fingers,
14:24I'll know you're ripping us off.
14:26And if I'm right...
14:27I promise, look...
14:28No, I'll promise you.
14:30If I'm right, I'll kill you.
14:34You don't want to get on the wrong side of Phil.
14:41Yeah, Rhys.
14:44Sharon said that's on the house, yeah?
14:51I'm sorry.
14:52I'm sorry.
14:53I'm sorry.
14:54I'm sorry.
14:55I'm sorry.
14:56I'm sorry.
14:57I'm sorry.
14:58I'm sorry.
14:59I'm sorry.
15:00I'm sorry.
15:01I'm sorry.
15:02I'm sorry.
15:12I'm so sorry for all the awful things I said.
15:15And me, a nurse.
15:18I should be thanking you for helping us pay for the IVF.
15:23Because I'm pregnant.
15:26Rhys is going to be the best dad.
15:29And I can't wait to be a mum again.
15:31You've got so much love to give.
15:34We couldn't have done it without you.
15:37It's been touch and go, money-wise.
15:40Rhys thought he might have to move you out of here.
15:44But I promise you, wherever you are, we're going to look after you.
15:49Because it's only bricks and mortar, isn't it?
15:52It's the people that count.
15:56I'm going to pay you back every single penny.
16:01Because, you know, I was thinking...
16:07..I might sell my house.
16:10It belonged to my grandma Dot.
16:13I loved her so much.
16:16It's meant to be my pension, my daughter Bex's inheritance,
16:20but what's the point in saving for the future?
16:25If you're living in fear right now, and you know how Rhys spirals...
16:32..we could have a fresh start.
16:34No debt.
16:38That's what I'm going to do.
16:42That's what I have to do.
16:45Because there's four of us to take care of now.
16:48There's me, Rhys, the baby...
16:53..and you.
16:56Squeeze my hand if you can hear me, Debbie.
17:04Let's get you nice and comfy, eh?
17:12There you go.
17:23WHISTLE BLOWS
17:29I think she'll be out in a second.
17:31Ah! What are you doing here? I'm Debbie's...
17:33I don't care who you are, you haven't signed in.
17:35How did you get through?
17:37There was no-one on reception and the door was wide open.
17:40It's not my fault you've got sloppy security.
17:42You have to sign the register before you go.
17:44Can't have any old Tom, Dick or Harry wandering about.
17:47I'm not any old Tom, Dick or Harry. I'm Debbie's family.
17:53No peeking. Keep going.
17:55Step by step, we've got another step.
17:57That's it, we're going through the gate now.
17:59That's it, we're going to turn around here.
18:01All yours, Nanamo.
18:03If you can't go to the kids' club...
18:05The kids' club has come to you!
18:07I know all you guys are missing out.
18:09Here we go, you've got your microphones.
18:11Let's turn this up nice and loud.
18:13ALL SING
18:16You better throw a party on the day that I die.
18:20Green, green grass.
18:22Blue, blue sky.
18:24You better throw a party on the day that I die.
18:28We're all together.
18:30In harmony.
18:32This summer's more than just a number.
18:36Yes, she's a genius.
18:39Watch and learn.
18:41As she sets the world on fire, just don't watch the sun go down.
18:56Police, please.
18:58Hello, my name's Tommy Moon.
19:01I'm 18 years old.
19:07My mum's been hitting me.
19:11And this was my grandad's bedroom after his stroke.
19:15Some of the neighbours, they've knocked through, but...
19:18Well, they've got the right idea.
19:20Needs modernising.
19:24Er, right.
19:26So through here...
19:29This is the kitchen.
19:32Good Lord.
19:33It's magical.
19:35Oh, do you think so?
19:37It's a museum piece.
19:39The kitchen that time forgot.
19:41My grandma was very happy here.
19:43Oh, don't take it the wrong way.
19:45This was your grandparents' taste.
19:48Their style.
19:50You can still smell the powdered egg.
19:53So you just inherited it?
19:55No.
19:57I've lived here for years.
19:59Oh.
20:00Well, I'm sure the new owners will put their stamp on the place.
20:04Shall we talk through the deeds?
20:06Do you know what? I don't think I'm going to sell.
20:09I don't want my grandma Dot's soul ripped out of this house,
20:12so we can find another way out of this situation.
20:17You're right.
20:19Memories of loved ones are precious indeed.
20:22Yeah, they are.
20:24Thanks for understanding.
20:26But don't let the past stop you enjoying the future.
20:31Your money worries can ruin a family,
20:33especially with a new baby on the way.
20:43We've got a waiting list for houses like this.
20:45You can have a cash buyer by the end of the week.
20:49Hello, Debbie.
20:51It's me.
20:57Well, I hope I'm making the right decision.
21:00We could sell this place tomorrow,
21:02but I would have mentioned the cabaret to prospective buyers.
21:06I'm sorry, Debbie.
21:08It's all right.
21:10It's all right.
21:12It's all right.
21:14It's all right.
21:16I'll speak to prospective buyers.
21:18Thank you. I'll be in touch.
21:22What's all this, then?
21:24I don't know. Funny, though, isn't it?
21:26I'm calling it mochella.
21:28No, I'm all right, thanks.
21:30Who's that bloke?
21:32Nosy.
21:34Estate agent.
21:35What?
21:36You're not selling Dot's, are you?
21:38It's been one for two years now,
21:40but yeah, I'm selling Dot's place.
21:43Why? I mean, where are you going?
21:45But the money from the sale of the house, it'll give us choices and hope.
21:49You've got to be joking. I mean, look around.
21:51You've got all you need here. You've got friends, family.
21:54Moe bursting your eardrums.
22:02No, I know. I know all that.
22:05I've lived here most of my life, haven't I?
22:08And Mum, she didn't have a pot to pee in,
22:10but she taught us to be grateful for what we had.
22:13Some people ain't that lucky, are they?
22:15They spend their life searching for something
22:17and all the while it's at the end of their noses.
22:20You know, that house, you lot, you're everything to me.
22:24That's never going to change.
22:26But my future is with Rhys now.
22:28And hopefully a little family of our own.
22:32But we're drowning in debt.
22:34It's a really horrible way to live, so, yeah, I'm selling the house.
22:38For me and Rhys. He's the kindest man I've ever met.
22:43And I know he'll do anything for me.
22:56Can I have a word?
22:58Save your breath.
23:00You don't know what I'm going to say?
23:02Something like, er, please don't leave out my mate.
23:05She's been working really hard and deserves that champagne.
23:09Actually...
23:11Chelsea deserved that demotion.
23:13I'd have sacked her if she'd stolen from me.
23:16You've got a vacancy for a new manager and I want the job.
23:19I'm hard-working, ambitious, and if you think this wheelchair
23:22is going to stop me from dealing with scumbags,
23:24you don't know me very well.
23:27You weren't expecting that, were you?
23:32Sonny's having a baby.
23:35It's what we've both wanted for so long and...
23:38well, now it's actually happening.
23:44I'm in so much debt.
23:49I'm such a mess, Debbie.
23:55You're so pretty.
23:59Did I ever deserve a girl like you?
24:01Did I ever deserve a girl like you?
24:04Just face it, I didn't.
24:09If you were here, properly here,
24:13you'd want to help me.
24:15I know you wouldn't.
24:18But you've been sentenced to this pitiful, pointless half-life.
24:23If only you'd died in the bath.
24:31It's not fair, is it?
24:34With you lingering on in here,
24:36want me and Sonny to lose everything.
24:39The three of us live with nothing.
24:48I've only got one chance left, Debbie.
24:52And I know, I just know you tell me to take it.
24:57See?
25:00If you passed away,
25:03you know, I could start again.
25:06I've lost you.
25:09I can't lose Sonny and the baby as well.
25:26Debbie.
25:57Debbie.
25:59Debbie.
