00:00🎵
00:29Tiff?
00:31You've been crying.
00:32Oh, you look at this place. It needs a good clean.
00:34Why have you been crying?
00:36The baby.
00:37Is it coming?
00:38She's been kicking, that's all.
00:39Reminded me she's in there.
00:41As if I could forget.
00:43Well, she ain't gonna be in there much longer, is she?
00:45Yeah, well, what then?
00:48She's fighting to get out.
00:52How am I gonna manage to tone?
00:54Oh, you'll be all right.
00:56Tiff, you don't give in to no-one.
00:58Especially not to a baby.
01:00Yeah, but it's not just the baby I'm up against, is it?
01:04Someone seems happy this morning.
01:06I wonder why.
01:07Well, it must be a good night's sleep, eh?
01:09That's probably it.
01:12Oh, hi, love. Morning.
01:14Is there any more tea in the pot?
01:15I'm just making it.
01:17Give us a shout when it's ready, yeah?
01:19Morning, Aaron.
01:20Yeah, morning.
01:22There's a good girl. Now, where's your scarf?
01:24Were you playing with it last night?
01:26Well, go on, then. Go and get it.
01:30Hello?
01:32Sanjay?
01:33How...
01:34We're fine.
01:37Sanjay, this is a terrible line.
01:39Where are you calling from?
01:42Sanjay, I'm sorry, I didn't hear you.
01:44Can you speak up a bit?
01:46Sanjay?
01:47Hello?
01:52Good luck, then.
01:53What for?
01:54It's Karina's interview.
01:55Oh, it's no big deal, Dad.
01:56What, the rest of your life's no big deal?
01:58It's not like that.
01:59You've got to get in there and use this interview.
02:01Yes, Dad.
02:02You've got to answer, teach her all the right questions, impress him.
02:04It's a woman, actually.
02:05All right, impress her,
02:06and you've got to make sure you get the best on offer.
02:08Yeah, OK.
02:09Could be a turning point, this interview.
02:11Yes, Dad.
02:12And, Sarah, remember to smile.
02:14Yes, Dad.
02:17Hello!
02:18Oh, I'm gassed.
02:19Can I get you a cup of tea?
02:20Pot's in here.
02:23Where are you going?
02:24School.
02:25Well, what about your breakfast?
02:27Martin!
02:30He hasn't finished his breakfast.
02:32That's because I came in.
02:34Whenever I walk into your room, he walks out.
02:37Come on, you must have noticed it.
02:39Hasn't he spoken to me all weekend?
02:41Yeah, we can hardly blame him.
02:43I'm sorry?
02:44Well, he doesn't like being called a thief.
02:46I don't like getting money taken out of my purse.
02:48If it was taken.
02:50Look, Pauline, I understand that you don't want to believe it was him,
02:53but we are talking about stealing here.
02:56Yeah, well, I'd better get going.
02:58I'm going to be late for work.
03:01Rebecca's gone to Barcelona?
03:02Yeah.
03:03When did she say she'd be back?
03:04Well, I don't know.
03:05She didn't say?
03:06No.
03:07Hiya.
03:08I didn't know you were back.
03:09How are you feeling?
03:10You don't want to know.
03:11I do.
03:12All right, try strapping a ten-pound bag of potatoes to your stomach
03:14and then carry it around with you all day.
03:16You might begin to know how I'm feeling.
03:18Right.
03:19I wouldn't take it personally, love.
03:20When she's had that baby, she'll be back to her usual sunny childhood self.
03:24Oh.
03:27Morning.
03:29Hiya.
03:30What are you looking for?
03:31Just some milk.
03:33Well, it's right there.
03:34Oh, cheers.
03:35What were you thinking about?
03:36The Bible, actually.
03:38Really?
03:39Yeah.
03:40Some of them stories, man.
03:41I just can't get my head round them, you know?
03:43Well, what more reason to come to this week's Bible class?
03:45Talk to Alistair.
03:47He's really good to talk to.
03:48Really clear.
03:49Please come.
03:50Look, there's going to be a party afterwards for Alistair's birthday
03:52and I think he'd enjoy it.
03:54He won't want me, though.
03:55Well, I want you there.
03:56You're my friend.
03:57And I'd really like you to be there.
03:59Please?
04:01All right.
04:02I'll think about it, yeah?
04:03Great.
04:05Morning.
04:06Hello.
04:07Oh.
04:08Hi.
04:09What's the matter?
04:11You know, I never thought living with a murderer would be easy,
04:14but, well, that does it.
04:16Sometimes.
04:17Well, at least Mark's back now.
04:19Yeah.
04:20Yeah.
04:21Looks like he's not the only one.
04:23So I see.
04:25She's never wanted one.
04:26Well, lucky her.
04:28Listen, why don't you come round tonight?
04:30We'll get a pizza and some wine.
04:32Might as well live it up while I'm still single, eh?
04:34OK, that's a great idea.
04:35See you later.
04:36OK.
04:39So, how did it go? You were back?
04:40Not many people there.
04:42How are you?
04:43Pregnant?
04:44Yeah, I remember that feeling.
04:45You taking care of yourself, then?
04:47Yeah, of course I am.
04:48That's good.
04:49Lots of fruit and veg.
04:50That's what you need in your condition.
04:52I need a lot more than fruit and veg.
04:54I'll have a cup of my apples, please.
04:56That'll be two quid, please.
04:59Hello.
05:00Hello, Nigel.
05:05Did you know she was back?
05:07Why didn't you say?
05:08Because it's not important.
05:10I'll see you later, yeah?
05:15Bye.
05:21Oh, good run.
05:23Yeah, not bad.
05:24There's some breakfast for you in the oven upstairs.
05:26Oh, thanks. I've already had some.
05:28Yeah, I'll bet you have.
05:30Look, Mum, I'm a big boy now. I know what I'm doing.
05:32Really?
05:33Yeah.
05:34And I'm not interested in discussing it.
05:39Morning, Robbie.
05:40Hiya.
05:41See you in about 15 minutes, yeah?
05:42Yeah.
05:44I was going to take him with me, actually.
05:46I suppose you can look after him.
05:48Here?
05:49I want to just sit behind the counter.
05:50No.
05:51He won't be any trouble, Mum.
05:52No.
05:53I suppose I'll have to leave him at home.
05:56Are you feeling nervous about today?
05:58Just a little bit.
05:59Yeah, you'll be fine.
06:00I really want us to work, Mum.
06:02I want to make a go of it.
06:03Dislove.
06:05Oh, and I'm not going to waste any of my money.
06:07I want to save it all up.
06:09So you can finally take up boxing?
06:11Yeah, that and other things.
06:13I really want to make something of myself, Mum.
06:15First date of the rest of your life?
06:17Yeah.
06:19How's he been?
06:20Oh, gorgeous as usual.
06:21Oh, thanks.
06:22See you later.
06:23Yeah.
06:24Oops.
06:25There we go.
06:26He's a lovely baby.
06:27Always smiling.
06:28Mind you, they're not all as easy as him, you know.
06:31Some of them can be little monsters.
06:35Yes, Nigel?
06:36Mrs Orange, please.
06:37Hi.
06:38Did you know Tiffany's back?
06:39Is she?
06:40Yeah.
06:41Saw her out on the strip earlier.
06:42Did she say anything about Bianca?
06:43Didn't say anything about anything.
06:44I was with Grant.
06:45We're talking several degrees of frost.
06:47He looks happy.
06:48Yeah.
06:49What's it like, Kev, having a baby?
06:52What, you mean giving birth?
06:53No, having a baby, looking after it.
06:56Honestly?
06:57Please.
06:58It's exhausting.
07:00Especially when they're very little.
07:02You love them and that gets you through it.
07:04And then they learn to smile and after that it gets easier.
07:08Right.
07:09Tiffany will manage.
07:10Yeah, yeah, I'm sure she will.
07:12Only you're not talking about her, are you?
07:15It must be hard for you.
07:17Not as hard as it is for her.
07:19Look, I know I'm Grant's sister-in-law,
07:21but I'm also your aunt.
07:23If you ever need to talk or if there's anything I can do...
07:25It's not just a baby, though, is it?
07:27It's going to grow up.
07:28It's going to be a real new person with a whole life ahead of it.
07:31And I might be its dad.
07:33You'll be all right.
07:34Will I?
07:36I've been trying to find that list. Do you know where it is?
07:39What list would that be?
07:40The phones we leafleted.
07:41Why do you want it?
07:42Well, I thought we could ring them, you know, follow it up,
07:45see if they'd like to open up an account with us.
07:47Good idea, yeah.
07:48I did give you that list back, didn't I?
07:50Yeah, you did, and I chucked it away.
07:53Didn't think, sorry.
07:55Oh, right.
07:56All right, we'll have to see what we can remember, then.
07:58Yeah.
07:59OK?
08:00Only could I have a cup of tea first, Robbie,
08:02cos it's a bit parky out there.
08:04Yeah, fine, I'll put the kettle on.
08:05No, no, no, I'll be tea, boy.
08:07You just take the controls.
08:12What you reading?
08:13Situation's vacant.
08:15Why?
08:16Why do you think?
08:17Now Mark's back, I'm going to need to find myself a proper job, aren't I?
08:20Oh, well, I'm pleased to see that you're taking it so seriously,
08:22but there's no need to rush into the first thing that comes along.
08:25Yeah, well, unfortunately, I don't think the baby's going to wait
08:27for the perfect job to land in my lap, do you?
08:29Oh, so this is about the baby, then?
08:31Tiffany's going to need help.
08:32Tiffany's going to need help.
08:33Yeah, well, I'll pull my weight.
08:34Financial help.
08:35Yeah, well, she's my sister.
08:37Yeah, but this could be my baby.
08:38I've got to get a job, all right?
08:40I'd best get back outside.
08:42Yeah, OK, see you.
08:44Another orange juice.
08:46I'd rather you than me.
08:50You want to take care.
08:51Too much vitamin C, it can poison the system.
08:54Especially when the body's trying to readjust.
08:57What for?
08:58A lifetime of fried breakfast.
09:03Mum, what's that for?
09:05I'm so pleased you're back.
09:07Well, I'm pleased to hear it.
09:09I really missed you.
09:10Martin has as well.
09:11I think he needs a man of you.
09:13Oh, I see.
09:14So the real reason you want me home
09:15is because Martin needs a male role model?
09:17Yeah, of course.
09:18What else?
09:19Two coffees, please.
09:20I'll bring them all, then.
09:21What about my ravishing body and my scintillating wit?
09:25Can I get back to you in that?
09:27Yes, love.
09:28Can I ask you something?
09:29If you like.
09:31If you was a father, right, and you had kids,
09:33would you want them to understand each other?
09:35Come again?
09:36I mean, speak the same language.
09:37Well, of course they'd speak the same.
09:39That's what any real father would want, innit?
09:41Can I have a cock and a currant bun, please?
09:44Pauline's just now facing up to things.
09:46That's part of the problem.
09:47Well, she's doing her best.
09:49She is doing nothing.
09:50Mark, he took that money.
09:52And as far as I know, she hasn't even said it until since.
09:55Are you absolutely sure it was him?
09:57I'm certain.
09:58You don't think I'd make something like that up, do you?
10:00No.
10:01I mean, we just can't afford to ignore it, you know that?
10:04Yeah.
10:05Can you talk to him?
10:07Yeah.
10:08OK.
10:09Might not be easy.
10:10Don't worry.
10:11I'm sure he'll listen to me.
10:22Feel it's counselling?
10:23Yeah.
10:24Do you reckon it's doing him any good?
10:25Definitely.
10:26I just hope it lasts.
10:30So how's your other son?
10:31Oh, fine.
10:32Why shouldn't he be?
10:33Well, now Tiffy's back.
10:35Is she?
10:36Yeah.
10:37She's staying with Tony and Simon.
10:38Have you seen her?
10:39Yeah.
10:40How's she seen?
10:41Big.
10:42Well, yeah.
10:43I had Tony and the cat earlier talking to me.
10:46They just seem so young, Peggy, and, I don't know, so disorganised.
10:50You don't have to be young to be disorganised.
10:53Well, it's such a mess, innit?
10:55Yeah, I know.
10:56Excuse me a minute, Kath.
10:59Why didn't you tell me Tiffany was back?
11:01Because you didn't ask.
11:03Don't get lippy with me.
11:04Please.
11:05You should have told me.
11:07I got a pub trip.
11:11Hello?
11:12In the kitchen.
11:15What are you doing?
11:16What's it look like?
11:17Well, you shouldn't be up there.
11:18I'm OK.
11:19Yeah, but you could fall off that chair.
11:20Look, I'm absolutely fine.
11:21I'm enjoying myself.
11:23Let's see if this place is ready for the baby.
11:25Get down.
11:26Please.
11:27Don't be making such a fuss about it.
11:29Look, you just sit down and leave all this to me and Tony.
11:34I'll make us a sandwich.
11:38Cheers.
11:40I suppose you know Tiffany's back.
11:42Yeah.
11:43You didn't think to tell me?
11:44It's not my business to tell you.
11:46Even though I'm her mother-in-law?
11:47Well, I thought Grant would mention it.
11:49Well, he didn't.
11:50I thought he would.
11:54Well, I'm doing the best I can with him.
11:56I know you are, Mum.
11:58I thought he'd be back to his old self by now.
12:00When I came back at Christmas,
12:01I thought it would take us a month at the outside to get him back to normal.
12:05And now look at us.
12:06We're already into March.
12:08What are we going to do about this money?
12:11Not you as well.
12:12We've got to talk to him.
12:15Listen,
12:16I'll talk to him tonight, all right?
12:20She's just been giving you grief?
12:22Not really.
12:23Well, what's she going on about then?
12:25Her wife.
12:26She seems to think I should have told her Tiffany was back.
12:28Yeah, well, she's no wife to me.
12:29Yes, she is.
12:30And there's a good chance she might be carrying your child.
12:32Just take a notice of Mum.
12:33Peggy's concerned, Grant.
12:34I understand that.
12:35Any mother would be.
12:37It just makes it difficult working here.
12:40Oh, Grant.
12:41I'm sorry.
12:42Yes, please.
12:44Oh, Grant what?
12:46She's here.
12:47She's back and she exists.
12:48And you just have to face up to it.
12:51It was just a bit of cleaning.
12:52I thought you'd be pleased.
12:53I mean, it's the least I can do for you and Tony
12:55after everything you've done for me.
12:57And I mean, it's not as if you two are good at cleaning up the place and...
13:00Tiff?
13:01Take a moment, please.
13:02What is it?
13:03What's happened?
13:04Is it Grant? Has he been round here?
13:05No.
13:06I just keep thinking about the other night.
13:08The way he just stood there and looked at me like I was a piece of dirt.
13:11Hey, it's all going to be all right.
13:13I told him, you know, I've got rights,
13:15but I'm not sure if I have.
13:17And even if I have, I mean, he hasn't got to give anything to me.
13:20What will I do then?
13:22Look, it's all going to be all right, Tiff.
13:24All you've got to do is just let us look after you.
13:26We're going to be fine, the three of us.
13:29We're going to be fine.
13:31I'm offering a special discount to new customers.
13:34Well, shall I send you some information?
13:36Yeah, yeah, I've got your address.
13:38Thanks ever so much. Cheers. Bye.
13:40Fancy a game of cards?
13:41No, thanks, mate.
13:42No money involved?
13:44No time.
13:45Busy, busy, busy.
13:47Good morning. Evans Executive Car Service.
13:49Robbie Jackson speaking. How may I help you?
13:52Certainly. Can I have your account number, please?
13:55Yeah.
13:57Sure. Ten minutes?
13:59Great. See you then. Thanks. Bye.
14:03How's business?
14:04Picking up.
14:06Job for you.
14:07I'm having a tea break.
14:08Well, how about you have your tea break after you've finished your job?
14:11Hang on.
14:12Look, it's up to all of us to make this thing work.
14:14Barry, you heard what the man said.
14:16Whose side are you on?
14:19Ah, terrific.
14:21When I was at school, it was cars for boys and shops for girls.
14:24So you're a good boy, then, and did what you were told.
14:26Of course.
14:27Anyway, don't let me disturb you.
14:29No, that's all right. It's boring, anyway.
14:31Hi, Dad.
14:32Hi, Sarah. Ricky. Bud's here.
14:34So, how did you get on in your careers interview, then?
14:36She suggested a bank.
14:38Well, that's good, then, isn't it?
14:40Just a bit predictable, that's all.
14:42Can you talk to me, please, Sarah? Not him.
14:44OK.
14:45And your A-levels, do you have any ideas what subjects you should take?
14:48Well, it was a careers chat. We were talking about A-levels this week.
14:50So what's going to happen about the bank, then?
14:52Well, she's going to let me have some leaflets.
14:53Oh, good. We'll look at them together.
14:55Now, don't forget your homework.
14:56No, Dad.
14:57Don't waste too much time, anyway.
14:59OK.
15:03Hiya.
15:04Oh, hi. You still on for the night?
15:06Oh, yeah. How about eight?
15:07Eight? I'll bring them in.
15:08Good to meet you. See you later.
15:10She set me thinking, actually, the careers teacher.
15:12About working in a bank?
15:13No, about life.
15:14Sounds a bit heavy.
15:15Yeah, but it's difficult, isn't it?
15:17You get to be grown up and you have to try and balance everything.
15:19Job, home, relationship, kids, maybe.
15:22I mean, how does anyone ever do it?
15:24Don't worry about it, Sarah.
15:25Well, how do you and Bianca manage it all?
15:27We don't.
15:28Don't you ever make plans and try and think how things are going to be?
15:31No, not really. Not any more than we have here.
15:34Well, what about when you're married?
15:36I don't think that'll make much difference, will it?
15:38OK. So, when you have kids?
15:40Well, we'll just sort it out as we go along, you know.
15:42You must miss Bianca.
15:44Yeah, a bit.
15:45I'm sure she'll come back with Tiffany.
15:47What?
15:48Oh, hi, Joe.
15:49Tower of Babel.
15:50Sorry?
15:51Hold on, what was you saying about Tiffany?
15:52Well, she's staying with Tony and Simon. What are you talking about?
15:54Right, I'll see you later.
15:55Go to Let Us Go Down and they're conferring their language
15:59so that they may not understand one another's speech.
16:01Why?
16:02What do you mean, why?
16:03I mean, why did God do that?
16:05Why did he make it so no-one could understand each other?
16:07I don't know.
16:08Well, how can you call yourself a Christian, then?
16:10Well, it's Old Testament. It's different.
16:12Does that mean it's not true?
16:13Well, no, the Old Testament. It's like stories.
16:16So it's not true, then?
16:17Well, no, not exactly not true.
16:19Well, it's either true or it's not true.
16:21It's a story.
16:23Well, a true story or a false story?
16:28What's she doing out in Barcelona, anyway?
16:30She's gone with Guillermo to look at the fashions.
16:32You're telling me she's gone with that man?
16:33What's your problem? You know she loves you.
16:35Yeah, well, she's got a funny way of showing it.
16:37And he's getting married himself in the summer.
16:38She could have told me.
16:39She did tell you. It's not her fault the postcard hasn't arrived yet.
16:42Come on, thanks for asking, Ricky. I'm feeling terrible.
16:44What?
16:45When you walked in, you didn't ask me how I was. You didn't even say hello.
16:48I didn't, what?
16:49You're so wrapped up in your own little world when you've got nothing to worry about.
16:52Your future's all sewn up and taken care of.
16:54So is yours.
16:55Well, it's hardly the same.
16:56It's better in some ways.
16:57What are you talking about?
16:59Well, you and your baby. You're going to be together forever.
17:01Well, so are you and Bianca.
17:03I know, but it's different. You know, your baby's part of you.
17:05At least you know you're always going to be her mum.
17:07Yeah, I never thought of it that way.
17:09You're right, I am.
17:13Who is?
17:14Who?
17:15So you're just going to stand back, are you, and let go back with Tony?
17:18She's not back with him.
17:19She's living with him.
17:21She's staying there. Simon's her brother. Where else do you expect her to go?
17:24Don't you care?
17:26No.
17:27But she's your wife, Grant.
17:29It's just legal technicality.
17:31And she's living with another man.
17:33She was able between her and Tony months ago.
17:35They could get back together.
17:37I doubt it, but if they do, he's welcome to her.
17:41You want to watch another man bring up your child as is?
17:44It won't happen.
17:45Tiffany's the mother, and if you're going to have anything to do with that baby,
17:48you're going to have to stay on the right side of her.
17:50You're forgetting one thing.
17:51What's that?
17:52There's a 50% chance that it won't be mine.
17:54Yeah, but there's also a 50% chance...
17:56That it will be, I know.
17:58That's enough for three, Tiff.
17:59No, thanks.
18:00What's wrong with fish and chips?
18:02I don't want to give my baby acne.
18:03You know, there's something I want to watch on the TV.
18:08I went to the job centre this afternoon.
18:10Oh, right. And?
18:11They're fresh out of jobs for reformed drug pushers.
18:13Oh, and there's some other things in the paper that I phoned up about.
18:16Oh, well, don't worry. Something's bound to turn up.
18:18Don't worry about money. We can manage.
18:20Have you seen the price of prams lately?
18:22And as for nappies...
18:23It sounds like you've been doing your research.
18:25That's right.
18:26But this baby might not even be yours.
18:28Maybe not.
18:29But I reckon it's best if I work on the assumption that it will be.
18:32Why?
18:34Because Tiff and the baby are going to be living here.
18:37You and me are going to be their family.
18:39Our lives are going to change.
18:40The sooner we get used to the idea, the better.
18:45You fancy a drink?
18:50Yeah.
18:52Good programme.
18:53All right.
18:57So, how's it really been, my life, in a way?
19:00Fine.
19:01Well, you know.
19:03Tough growing up, innit?
19:05Sometimes it's hard to know just who you are and what you're doing.
19:08Yeah.
19:09But, you know, no matter how hard it is,
19:12you've got to try and cling to what's right and what's wrong.
19:17You know...
19:20You know that money mine that went missing from Ruth's purse?
19:23So that's what this is all about?
19:25Look, we've got to be able to live together.
19:27I'm right, I know.
19:28But we've got to be able to trust each other.
19:30I trust you.
19:31Martin, we haven't finished yet. Come here.
19:33I have.
19:34Why are you being like this?
19:35Oh, Martin!
19:36Martin!
19:38Leave him, Mum, leave him.
19:39He needs some time on his own, OK?
19:41How on earth are we going to get through to him?
19:43Are you listening?
19:44It's supposed to be a private conversation.
19:47Well, I wanted to know what he was going to say.
19:49Poor kid.
19:50He's trying to grow up and find out who he is.
19:52And every time he turns round, you're standing there staring at him.
19:55What?
19:56I'm sorry, Mum.
19:58I'm wound up.
19:59Didn't mean it.
20:02Families, eh?
20:03We're in, aren't we?
20:04No.
20:05Oh, are you looking forward to Friday?
20:07What, you mean to Sandra coming back?
20:09Oh, yeah.
20:10No, yes. Yes, I am.
20:12Oh, I couldn't wait until Mark got back.
20:14I was counting the days.
20:15But now...
20:16What, is there a problem?
20:17Well, no.
20:18No way, Mark.
20:19Nothing wrong that moving out of that house wouldn't solve.
20:21Oh, two women, one kitchen, eh?
20:23If it was only the kitchen, I could cope.
20:25Anyway, it's not just Pauline.
20:27It's the whole set-up.
20:29Her, Martin, the house.
20:32It's weird.
20:33It's like the house seems to have a life of its own.
20:36I mean, even Martin grew up in that house.
20:38He's different there.
20:40And you want your own home back?
20:41Well, there's no chance of that, so I'll just let you grin and get on with it.
20:46Listen, it's nice to get it off my chest.
20:48Thanks for listening here.
20:49No problem.
20:50Anyway, how are you?
20:52Well, I went to see Dr Legg today.
20:56About Sandra's problem.
20:57What did he say?
20:58He said that Sandra could start by cutting out alcohol and taking vitamin supplements.
21:03Wait, can you see Sandra giving up his beer?
21:05No.
21:07Seriously, though.
21:09It's not funny, because if we don't manage to have another baby...
21:12What?
21:14Nothing.
21:15Let's just hope we can, eh?
21:19Right, first thing tomorrow I'm going down to the DSS.
21:21Why?
21:22Well, to get some money. Why do you think?
21:24Well, we can manage.
21:25If it's my right, then I'm going to claim it.
21:26I need to see what I can get from Grant as well.
21:29Where's Tony?
21:30In the bath.
21:31This early?
21:32Yeah, he's trying to relax.
21:33Yeah, but he hasn't done anything all day.
21:36Actually, I think he's a bit depressed.
21:38It's all too much of a strain for him.
21:40Well, would it be easier if I moved out?
21:42Oh, no. We both want you here.
21:44Well, it's not a problem. I mean, I can get it somewhere.
21:46Yeah, and I'd find you and bring you back.
21:48So don't even think about it.
21:50But we've got to look after him.
21:51Well, what about me?
21:53This ain't a competition for who's having the most difficult time, you know.
21:56Yeah, you're right. I'm sorry.
21:58Funny bit of an airsole, didn't we?
21:59You, me, your lover, my ex-lover.
22:01Yeah, not exactly the traditional nuclear family.
22:04We were all right, though, weren't we?
22:06Yeah, of course we are.
22:08You know those girls at school?
22:09They plan their lives out.
22:10Yeah, married at 18, first baby at 20.
22:13Oh, I avoided them like the plague.
22:15I was one of them.
22:17No, you weren't.
22:18Yes, I was.
22:19I used to think I could do whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted,
22:21as long as I planned it out.
22:23Yeah, I should have known better than to marry Sanjay, eh?
22:25But you love him, though.
22:26Yeah, of course I love him.
22:27But it's like anything he touches, it never goes quite right.
22:30You know, nine years ago, his parents went back to live in India.
22:33They sold up here, gave him a lot of money to start up a business, right?
22:36So what happened?
22:37He got stitched up by his so-called mate.
22:39Anyway, it's all ancient history.
22:41The point is, it could only happen to Sanjay.
22:43You know, he never plans anything.
22:45He never thinks beyond the here and now.
22:47Sometimes I wonder if he thinks at all.
22:51I mean, here's me, busy trying to map everything out,
22:53and there's him, muddling along.
22:54I know, but maybe that's why you love him, Gita.
22:56You know, he never dared to tell his parents we had to sell up the old business.
22:59And the worst of it is, they blame me for everything.
23:01But why?
23:02His parents wanted us to go and live in India,
23:04and as far as his mother's concerned, I am the wicked daughter-in-law
23:07keeping her from her son and a grandchild.
23:09Oh, the mother-in-law syndrome.
23:11Oh, if only she knew, Ruth.
23:13If it wasn't for me, Sanjay could hardly get out of bed in the morning,
23:16leave alone move to another continent, right?
23:19And I still love him.
23:20Oh, he annoys the hell out of me sometimes,
23:22but I'll tell you what.
23:23I still love him.
23:24Oh, he annoys the hell out of me sometimes,
23:26but I'll just give us another drink, all right?
23:28Right, what are we going to drink to?
23:30Um...
23:31Oh, there's no other way.
23:33Well, we'll drink to marriage.
23:34Eh, and families.
23:35Family.
23:36And marriage.
23:38Cheers.
23:39So, how did my brother get on?
23:40Well...
23:41Go on, you can tell me the truth.
23:42He was great.
23:43Really?
23:44Reliable, cheerful, helpful, full of initiative.
23:47Are you talking about my son?
23:48I think so, yeah.
23:49Thanks.
23:51There you go.
23:52Cheers, Mum.
23:53Quick drink up.
23:54Why?
23:55Because when you finish that one, I'm going to get you another one.
23:57So what was he really like?
23:59Very efficient.
24:00With Robin?
24:01Super efficient.
24:02Yeah, he was all right.
24:05Morning, Peg.
24:06Morning, Ted.
24:07Honey, where were they?
24:08How's that?
24:09It's a lottery.
24:10You've lost me.
24:11Well, before very long now, one of us is going to be a grandparent.
24:14Is it going to be you, or is it going to be me?
24:16Ah, I see what you mean.
24:17Which one's got the winning ticket?
24:18Don't you want to be a granddad?
24:20I find it hard enough being a dad.
24:22What about you? Do you want to be a grandma again?
24:24It's not about us, is it?
24:25It's about the baby.
24:27I just wish that poor child...
24:30I just wish that poor baby was being born into more settled circumstances.
24:37I'm going to bed.
24:38Right. Night.
24:40Thanks.
24:43Tiff, you know Grant?
24:46If he was to change his mind and ask you back, what would you say?
24:49He's not going to do that.
24:51Well, no, but what if?
24:53I can't afford to even think about that.
24:56And the only thing that this kid can be sure of is that I'm going to be her mum.
24:59So, starting tomorrow, I'm going to get out there and start looking after both of us properly.
25:03Night.
25:04Yeah, night.
25:08What's she been saying?
25:10Nothing, really.
25:11She been talking about Tiffany again?
25:13Grant, I'm not proud of myself.
25:15We're so happy, but Tiffany, I feel sorry for her.
25:18What?
25:19Well, she's going to be all on her own with a brand new baby. It's not going to be easy.
25:22Yeah, well, she should have thought about that before then, shouldn't she?
25:25Yeah, but you don't know what it's like being around a newborn.
25:27Well, I was around Ben.
25:29Yeah, but it's not the same.
25:30I mean, I remember after Joe was born, I cried non-stop for three days.
25:34I didn't even know why I was crying.
25:36I mean, I was glad to have him, but...
25:38but every time I looked at him, it just seemed like too much.
25:41Too much responsibility, too many years ahead.
25:44Tiffany's going to need a lot of help, Grant.
25:47Look, you know how I feel about her. I mean, what do you expect me to say?
25:50I just want you to see that it's not as simple as you think it is.
25:55Clams.
25:57What a bit.
25:58They're hermaphrodites.
26:00How do you know that?
26:01I read it in a paper.
26:03Oh, well, it must be true then.
26:05So...
26:06So what if they are hermaph... hermaphrodites?
26:10Well, I think it's a good idea, doing both bits yourself.
26:14Nah, you'd miss it and all the fun.
26:16Yeah, but then you wouldn't have to go to the doctor for leaflets
26:19on how to improve sperm count, would you?
26:21No, no, you might.
26:22How come?
26:23Because you might be good at one bit and know the other.
26:30I never thought of that!
26:35I must have drunk too much.
26:37I started hearing things.
26:39You know what? I think I heard something as well.
26:42Hello.
26:43What are you doing here?
26:45Just to get on an earlier flight.
26:47Is that where you phoned this morning?
26:49Yeah, I was at the airport.
26:50Listen, the thing is, I was phoning because...
26:53What is it, Sanjay?
26:54Well, the thing is that...
26:56Oh!
26:58Oh, my God.
27:00Oh!
27:01Um, we were just having...
27:04What a surprise!
27:06Um, this is Ruth, my friend, and, er...
27:09Hiya.
