00:24Kiss Kiss
00:25Why didn't you tell me the time?
00:26It's not the same clock
00:27Well it's not late is it?
00:28It's after 8
00:29So?
00:30I'm going to have to get a move on if I'm going to get to see Mandy
00:32I don't know why you're bothering
00:34Do you want me to pay my way here or not?
00:37I don't know why you've got to talk to her about it though
00:39To talk £10 notes
00:40Do you really think your wife is going to help us out by moving somewhere smaller or getting herself a new job?
00:44Because I know I wouldn't
00:45Yeah well I've got to be going, I'll see you
00:47You take care of your mum now Vic
00:49See you later
00:50Listen Danny, what time do you think you'll be home?
00:52I don't know
00:53I thought I'd make a meat pie or something, you know you like that?
00:55No, six, something like that
00:56Danny, Danny
00:57What?
00:58What do you think will happen with her?
01:00Michelle, your guess is as good as mine
01:03It's not as if I even go to church
01:06You don't have to go to church to be a godparent
01:08No, but it helps if you actually believe in God
01:10Well don't you?
01:11I don't know what I believe in Sharon
01:13I don't know if I believe in anything, I've never really thought about it
01:16Being a godparent, it's more than about religion
01:19Who taught you that then, Duncan?
01:21It's saying you'll take a special interest in the kids
01:24Like being a second mum and dad
01:25All right, all right, I'm coming
01:26Sir, there's nothing to be scared of
01:28I'm not scared Sharon, I just don't want to do it, all right?
01:31Good morning, Mo
01:33Good morning
01:34What sort of day is it out there, Mo?
01:36I've got too much of them in mind to notice the weather
01:39Any news on dying?
01:40No
01:41Oh, it's your turn now
01:42Yeah, maybe
01:43Yeah
01:44As soon as I see you here, I'm gonna tell him I'm not interested
01:46You can't, he's your friend, you can't let him down or be insulted
01:50It's a great compliment to have been asked
01:52Then why didn't he ask me himself if it's such a great compliment?
01:54Because he saw me first, that's all
01:56So you can't understand why you think it's all so difficult
01:58Excuse me
01:59I used to go out with Cindy, didn't I?
02:01That was a long time ago
02:03I know, but I feel a bit strange standing up in church with her and Ian and their baby
02:08You don't still care about it, do you?
02:11Of course I don't
02:12Then you've got to put the past behind you like she has and like I have
02:15You what?
02:16I used to go out with Ian, didn't I?
02:18That was ages ago
02:19Exactly
02:20I think you ought to say yes, sir, I really do
02:22I think you owe it to him
02:25What is it, sir?
02:26What's what?
02:27Something's wrong, why wouldn't you tell me?
02:28Nothing's wrong
02:31Look, we're all right, aren't we?
02:33Everything's all right
02:35And if it pleases you, I'll tell him yes
02:49My old mum must be turning into her grave
02:51I mean a great-grandson done a Roman
02:53I mean those bills have always been C of E
02:55It's my granddad, my dad, me, Ian
02:57I'm just like family tradition
02:59Morning
03:01I'm boiling some eggs if you're interested, love
03:03Oh, no, thanks, coffee be fine
03:04That's my favourite grandson this morning
03:06Stephen's fine
03:07Good
03:08Did he sleep through?
03:09Oh, no, he must be joking, didn't you hear him?
03:11Oh, he's got the family lungs in
03:12Getting ready with the old family stall, aren't you, son?
03:14In the family tradition, are you mean?
03:16Oh, yeah
03:17The bills ain't the only ones with tradition, you know, Pete?
03:19I think so, he was
03:20My family have always been Catholics
03:21On my mum's side, my dad's side
03:22That's our tradition right back
03:24Yeah, well...
03:25Not for Catholics, I mean
03:26Confession on Friday, Mass on Sunday
03:28Right up until I left school
03:29First thing I ever remember was sitting in church
03:31Look, my point is about young Stephen
03:32When I was a little girl
03:33I used to think I was really special
03:34Because I was a Catholic
03:35That's what the teacher, you know
03:36That you're lucky
03:37Yeah, but just listen to
03:38Look, I only want what's best for my son
03:40Alright?
03:41Well, maybe
03:42I still say the boys are built
03:44They ought to be brought up like a bit
03:46It's not as if any of you actually go to church
03:55Hey, fine
03:56Morning
03:57Hi, mate
03:58You've all been known for your shift, haven't you?
03:59I've just come for my breakfast
04:00Oh, we all get Hazel trained
04:01Let her bring it to you in bed
04:02Where is she, anyway?
04:03I haven't seen her around enough
04:04She's not very well
04:05What, flu?
04:06Yeah, yeah, she's got flu
04:07Oh, where's my little boy?
04:08Nah, have a look at him, Rod
04:09Now, is he the best-looking baby this side of the river
04:10Or is he the best-looking baby this side of the river?
04:11Or is he the best-looking baby this side of the river?
04:12It looks all right
04:13Yeah, yeah, she's got flu
04:14Where's my little boy?
04:15Where's my little boy?
04:16Nah, have a look at him, Rod
04:17Now, is he the best-looking baby this side of the river?
04:18Or is he the best-looking baby this side of the river?
04:19He looks a right little bruiser
04:20See you in a minute
04:21Look, Ian, I just popped by to tell you I'm taking Stephen for a little bit, John
04:22Yeah, all right, fine
04:23I need time to think things over
04:24Cindy, I wish I understood what all this is about
04:25You know what it's all about
04:26Whenever you cared one way or the other about religion
04:27I mean, what have I got to do?
04:28Have I got to cancel the vicar or what?
04:29Look, I need time to think things through, all right?
04:30Oh, hello, Cindy
04:31Oh, the baby
04:32Oh, the baby
04:33Oh, the baby
04:34Oh, the baby
04:35Oh, the baby
04:36Oh, the baby
04:37Oh, the baby
04:38Oh, the baby
04:39I'm on the baby
04:40What have I got to do?
04:41Have I got to cancel the vicar or what?
04:42Look, I need time to think things through, all right?
04:44Oh, hello, Ma
04:45Hello, Ma
04:46Oh, the baby
04:47Oh, look
04:48Oh, he's lovely
04:49Thanks
04:50Oh, thanks
05:09Come here tiger, come on.
05:25Come on baby.
05:29There you go.
05:51Hello Cindy.
05:53Hello father.
05:55Since only yesterday you were like one of them yourself.
05:58I can still see you now.
06:00Dashing around the playground with your socks around your ankles.
06:03We never had a champion of rounders to top Cindy Williams ever before us since.
06:09And now you've got a little one of all your own.
06:12This is Stephen.
06:14Hello Stephen.
06:18He's got his mother's good looks.
06:21You go on in. I'll join you.
06:23OK.
06:27Told you last week.
06:29I don't want to move up north.
06:31But it won't be the same if you don't come.
06:34This is my home here.
06:36But you'd soon settle into a new place.
06:39The houses are great up there.
06:41You get a lot more for your money.
06:42I said this is my home Danny.
06:44Not just my house, my home.
06:46But we could afford for the kids not to have to share any more.
06:49A bedroom each.
06:50Yeah, think about it.
06:52And a guest room for when your mum comes to stay.
06:54Two bathrooms, maybe even three.
06:56And a cloakroom downstairs.
06:58You really think you can buy me back with an extra toilet or two?
07:02I want you to come with me, Mandy.
07:04Please.
07:12Look.
07:13Maybe we could get somewhere down near the coast, eh?
07:15Oh, just think about it in the summer.
07:17Sending the kids out to play on the beach.
07:19You're doing your old routine, Danny.
07:21Treat us like dirt and paint a pretty picture and hope we'll be stupid enough not to think it's more than a game of let's pretend.
07:28Oh, no.
07:29It could be a new start for us, man.
07:31Just you and me and the kids.
07:34You've got to come with me.
07:36It's perfect for us.
07:37Oh, like this place was going to be perfect for us after the last time you played away from home.
07:41Didn't stop you going off with that little tart in Woolford, though, did it?
07:45Come back to the real world, Danny.
07:47I'm not interested in talking about Newcastle, OK?
07:51I want to talk about her.
07:54So Danny's there with her now, is he?
07:55Yeah, about now, yeah.
07:57Aren't you worried?
07:58What about?
07:59About him seeing her.
08:00Nah.
08:01How much do you want off the bottom?
08:02I'd be worried if I were you.
08:03Half an inch would be enough?
08:04Michelle!
08:05What?
08:06Aren't you worried that when he sees the house and everything...
08:08Yeah.
08:09That he might decide he wants to stop there?
08:10No.
08:13Yes, I'm worried.
08:15Constantly worried.
08:16Things seem to be happening so fast these days, I don't know where I am anymore.
08:20But you do want him to carry on living at the flat?
08:22Yeah, yeah, yeah, I do.
08:23You don't sound very sure, Michelle.
08:25I am.
08:26It...
08:27It's just there's something about him.
08:29I mean, now that he's moved in, I like having him around and I want him to stay.
08:33But...
08:36Are you sure half an inch is going to be enough?
08:39I don't believe you.
08:40Listen, Mandy, you just give me the word and I'll finish with Michelle.
08:44I thought I'd given the word some time ago.
08:47I'll go round there now and collect up all my stuff.
08:49I'll make a clean break of it.
08:50I won't see her again.
08:51I won't even ring her.
08:53Long distance phone calls work out too expensive for that.
08:56Anyway, there wouldn't be much point in me phoning her if we're up there and she's down here.
08:59I don't believe I'm hearing this.
09:01You carry on behind my back with some backstreet hairdresser.
09:05You leave me and the kids here to fend for our...
09:07I didn't leave you.
09:08You threw me out.
09:09To fend for ourselves while you feather your love nest.
09:11Then you really expect me to move to the other end of the country,
09:14uproot the kids, leave my family, my friends,
09:17and all on the basis that you'll drop this hairdresser
09:20because you're too stingy to pay that phone bill.
09:22I was joking about that.
09:24It wasn't very funny.
09:26I'm not going to Newcastle.
09:28But...
09:29What would I have done up there these last few months?
09:31You tell me that.
09:32In a strange house, in a strange place,
09:34surrounded by strangers while you carry on with another woman.
09:36But there isn't going to be another woman.
09:38That's what you say now.
09:40I promise you.
09:41I don't trust your promises anymore.
09:43You've got to trust me.
09:44Do I look stupid or something?
09:46I am not going to Newcastle.
09:48That's final.
09:49I mean it.
09:58So, what are you going to do now?
10:00Go and ask your hairdresser to move up there with you?
10:02No.
10:05If you really want me and the kids,
10:07you're going to have to give up her and Newcastle.
10:10That's the only deal I'm interested in discussing.
10:16No, you told me on the phone there was some sort of problem with the baptism.
10:23Yeah.
10:24Well, we haven't seen you at Mass recently as often as we'd like,
10:28but I don't see why we should take that out on little Stephen here.
10:31No, Father.
10:32It's...
10:33What is it then?
10:34Well, you see, it's my husband.
10:36He wants Stephen to be baptized, christened in the Church of England.
10:40Oh, I see.
10:41You see, he went ahead and arranged it without telling me in the local church.
10:44All his family had been christened there.
10:46Well, I want Stephen to be baptized a Catholic.
10:49Have you tried explaining to him how important the faith is
10:52to those of us who've been brought up in it?
10:54Yeah.
10:55Of course, with the moves towards greater understanding
10:58and to church unification that a people...
11:00I want my son to be baptized a Catholic.
11:04It's strange to see you feeling so strongly, Cindy.
11:08I thought you, of all people, would understand.
11:11But you didn't feel so strongly about the faith to get married in the church.
11:18Yeah, I know, but...
11:22You know, Cindy, I get the feeling there's something you're not telling me.
11:29You did come here to tell me something, didn't you?
11:34Yeah.
11:38I don't know how to say it, though.
11:40The simpler, the better I usually find.
11:50Ian.
11:52My husband.
11:56He isn't Stephen's father.
12:00All right.
12:01I've been looking all out for you.
12:06Ah.
12:07I never forgive myself if Vicky lost her own because of me.
12:10Dad wanted it for them as much as for me.
12:12Well, it's not going to come to that, is it?
12:13But what if Danny can't afford to pay off the mortgage?
12:15I'll have to talk to Karen and pay my other.
12:16You've got to sort out this credit card business myself before.
12:18Yeah, I know, son.
12:19And you can't do that if you're paying a mortgage on a flat you don't even live in.
12:22All right?
12:23You see, I've been concerned about Hazel.
12:25There's nothing to be concerned about.
12:26Well, I heard she had a touch of the flu.
12:28So I'm going to make a nice casserole for her.
12:31Because you two don't eat proper.
12:32No, no, look, there's nothing to me.
12:33Mind you, you'll have to come and collect it because I don't want to go putting myself in the way of germs.
12:38Fair enough, thanks, Don.
12:39Yeah, but that wasn't really what I wanted to talk to you about.
12:42Oh.
12:43Now, may I ask your advice?
12:46As an old friend.
12:48Well, what if I do tell him where to put his private detection agency?
12:51That's going to get me no closer to flying and dying.
12:53And I've still got to shell out all that cash, babe.
12:55Frank, how much do you do this?
12:56I mean, I just can't sit down and do nothing.
12:57I mean, I've got to find her.
12:58Frank, look at those, please.
12:59Every day that she's away, I mean, I worry more and more about it.
13:01If only I knew where she was.
13:03I mean, anything could have brought that.
13:04I mean, anything.
13:05Frank, please, look!
13:09Well, I know I'm handsome, sweetheart, but I still say it looks good with both of us in there.
13:13Janine Dunn.
13:14Monkey.
13:17Look, Frank, I've been up to school again to talk to them about her.
13:22It's no good, Rod.
13:23I can't have us living with me no longer.
13:25I mean, it's a fuss I can't stand all the time.
13:27Fuss, fuss, fuss.
13:28Well, you know me how I ate fuss.
13:30Oh, Sharon, I'll have a orange juice if you've got a moment.
13:33Not to mention the cat it's got fleas.
13:35I'm going to have to ask her to go back to her own house.
13:38I'm going to have to ask her today.
13:40Is that very un-Christian of me?
13:42Well, I...
13:43I know she will, but she's driving me mad, Rod.
13:45She's driving me round the bay.
13:46Mo, I'm going to have to tell her.
13:49They're coming to collect me and my stuff this afternoon.
13:52Well, you're coming a bit fine, aren't you?
13:54I know I've been trying to tell her for days, but I can't bear to.
13:57She'll take it ever so bad.
13:58Are you sure?
13:59Oh, yes.
14:00She'll wish it was her.
14:01Find that hard to believe.
14:02Oh, I mean, anyone would rather go on a luxury cruise and stay here in Warford.
14:07All right, then, don't tell her about the luxury cruise.
14:10Just say you've got to go to Plaster to look after your cousin.
14:13Oh, yeah.
14:14Oh, yeah.
14:15Yeah.
14:16Perhaps you're right.
14:18Oh.
14:23But I thought you'd say Catholic baptism was important.
14:26It is important.
14:27Very important.
14:28Make no mistake about it.
14:29But so is your marriage.
14:31I take it your husband doesn't know that he's not.
14:34No.
14:35What do you think would happen if you told him?
14:38He'd chuck me out.
14:39So it would be the end of your marriage?
14:41Definitely.
14:42Hmm.
14:43I know it'll be hard watching the natural father take on the responsibilities of Godparent.
14:49I'm dreading it.
14:50But think how very much harder it will be facing the fact of bringing up the baby on your own.
14:55And that's what it will come to if you told your husband why you really don't want a name to come back to see him.
15:07You know you're a lucky girl.
15:09Lucky?
15:10Well, the boys and girls from the school next door, they often come back to see us.
15:13Girls especially, funnily enough.
15:15A lot of them from your time have got babies of their own.
15:19But not so many have also got a husband.
15:24So are you saying I should go ahead into the Church of England?
15:27No.
15:28All I'm saying is that you should think very carefully before making any decision.
15:33I wish you'd tell me what to do father.
15:35I can't do that.
15:37I'll make you an offer though.
15:40Wherever little Stephen is baptised, he'll always be your son.
15:45And as your son, there'll always be a place for him at the school next door.
15:50Thank you father.
15:51That means a lot.
15:52Now, would you like to make your confession?
15:55In here?
15:56It's up to you.
16:00In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost, Amen.
16:03Bless me father for I've sinned.
16:05It's been six years since my last confession.
16:08Hello Marge.
16:09Hello Dot.
16:10Hello Dot.
16:11How are you?
16:12Oh, I'm fine thanks.
16:13Good.
16:14Now, there's something I want to talk to you about.
16:17Yeah, and there's something I've got to talk to you about.
16:19You see dear, as much as I've enjoyed having you under my roof.
16:23Oh, you've heard that.
16:24Heard what?
16:25Oh, who told you?
16:26Told me what?
16:27What about me going?
16:28Well, you know dear, I've been used to living on me own.
16:33Going?
16:34And you're not angry with me?
16:36Angry?
16:37Why should I be angry?
16:38Well, I thought you might be.
16:39Why?
16:40Well with me going.
16:41Look Marge, I think it might be a good idea if we started this conversation over again.
16:47You first.
16:49A psychiatrist?
16:50No, a psychiatrist exactly, more an educational psychologist.
16:54So what are you telling me?
16:55My daughter's mad, is that it?
16:56No Frank, not mad.
16:57Just unhappy.
16:58Unhappy, Pop?
16:59Half the world's unhappy.
17:00I can unhappy sometimes, but that doesn't mean to say I've got measured for a straight jacket,
17:04does it?
17:05They only want to help her, Frank.
17:06I mean, normal kids don't do this sort of thing.
17:08If you ask me, it's not my Janine that needs help, it's that school.
17:11Well, you know yourself she can be a bit of a handful.
17:13Right, so she's hardly strong, so only a number of kids.
17:15I was lovely myself when I was in that man.
17:17You ask my mum.
17:18But in them days, teachers were teachers.
17:20They can't handle her.
17:21So they blame the kid.
17:22Well, it's quite understandable.
17:23It saves blaming themselves, doesn't it?
17:25So you don't give your permission for her to be seen by the psychologist?
17:28No way.
17:29I know my daughter, and she ain't mad.
17:32You see, Doc?
17:33Well, she's never enjoyed good health.
17:34I mean, poor Alfred.
17:35He's been looking after her for years.
17:37He's had no life of his own.
17:38You know he's got a girlfriend.
17:40He's dumping her on you.
17:41Oh, no, not dumping.
17:43I'll be only too glad to have someone to look after again.
17:47Oh, I see.
17:49You won't be lonely, will you?
17:51Lonely?
17:52Me?
17:53Only we got on ever so well all the time I've been stopping with you.
17:57Yeah, well, I'm sure I'm madly.
17:59I mean, I'll miss you, of course.
18:01And Tibby.
18:02Well, I can bring him to visit from time to time, if you like.
18:06Oh, lovely.
18:07I do hate doing this to you, Dot.
18:10Oh, don't you mind, Marge.
18:12I'm sure I'll manage somehow.
18:14Mm-hmm.
18:15Well, go on.
18:16It's your turn.
18:17My turn for what?
18:19Well, you had something to tell me.
18:22What was it?
18:24Oh, what was it?
18:26Well, I can't remember now.
18:29As a man.
18:31What did you say?
18:32I said, we'll go ahead with the christening as planned.
18:36Hang on, I don't understand.
18:38In your church, Ian, as you planned.
18:41Oh, that's great!
18:43But why?
18:44Well, I thought that's what we wanted.
18:46Yeah, but hang on, lovely.
18:47I just don't understand.
18:48Why have you changed your mind?
18:49I just need time to think things through, that's all.
18:51So, you happy about Simon and Sharon being godparents?
18:54Oh, well, shouldn't I be?
18:55Oh, that's brilliant.
18:57There is one condition, though.
19:00Oh, yeah, I knew there had to be one.
19:02I want Michelle to be godmother.
19:04Yeah, fine, it's no problem, as long as she's willing.
19:06I want you to ask her in.
19:08I mean, after all, she's family, isn't she?
19:10Yeah, OK.
19:11I want Michelle to be Stephen's godmother more than anything else.
19:14And I won't take no for an answer.
19:16All right?
19:20Oh, dear.
19:21Was born round here.
19:23Grew up in this square, number 29.
19:26Next door but one to door.
19:27That's it.
19:28Never was my cup of tea, though, stopping in one place.
19:31Ran away to sea when I was 15.
19:33Oh, yeah?
19:34Never was the such and kind.
19:36I tried it once.
19:38Fell in love.
19:39What happened?
19:40She married another bloke.
19:42Lovely girl, Doris.
19:44You know that bloke Pete that runs a stall?
19:46Yeah.
19:47Well, his late mother was my Doris's sister.
19:50Yeah.
19:51During the war, it was.
19:53She said she'd wait for me.
19:55Only I was missing in action, presumed dead.
19:58Can't blame her.
20:00Is that why you left the square again?
20:02No, Rod.
20:03That is not why I left the square again.
20:07Never been one to settle that.
20:09Never suited me.
20:10That girl's the same.
20:12I could tell something about the eyes.
20:15We are two of a kind.
20:17Not so sure about you, though.
20:20Fred.
20:21Yes, Mother.
20:22Thank you for the tea, Mrs. Cotton.
20:24Oh, no trouble.
20:25Would you like another cup?
20:26No, thank you.
20:27There's a limit to how much I can drink.
20:29You use tea bags, I think.
20:31Well, as a matter of fact...
20:32They do say they only use the floor sweepings in the bags, you know.
20:35Oh, there you are.
20:37Ready?
20:38As I'll ever be.
20:40Fred?
20:41Oh, yes, Mother.
20:46Well, goodbye then, Dot.
20:48Goodbye.
20:49And, um, thank you for everything.
20:52You don't have to go.
20:53Are you sure you want to?
20:54Of course she wants to.
20:55You can stay here, if you like, for as long as you like.
20:58Who wouldn't want to go on a luxury cruise with all expenses paid?
21:01What?
21:02Oh, didn't I mention it?
21:05Shall we go, then, Fred?
21:08Oh, but, Cheryl, you've got to say yes.
21:10No, I haven't.
21:11Look, Cindy wants you to.
21:12We both do.
21:13Please.
21:14I'm very flattered, Ian.
21:15Thank you, but no thanks.
21:16She's told me not to take no for an answer.
21:17Oh, did she, then?
21:18Look, she'd really appreciate it.
21:20I would, too.
21:21Look, please, Cheryl.
21:22How can I stand up in church and say I'll set a good example for your son?
21:25Well, I don't see why not.
21:27I'm an unmarried mother, I've got a broken marriage behind me,
21:30and now I'm living with Danny's marriage on my conscience.
21:32But you're just being hard on yourself.
21:33I don't think so.
21:34Look, Cheryl.
21:36Look, I don't care what you think of yourself.
21:38I think you would make a great god, Peter.
21:41Please, just think about it, eh?
21:43For me?
21:44Please?
21:45I think about it.
21:46No promises, mind me.
21:48Come along, gal.
21:49We can't wait all day.
21:50Yeah, I'm coming.
21:51Yeah, you've got everything, have you?
21:53I think so, Dot, yeah.
21:54Yeah, you ain't forgot your coronation tooth mug?
21:57Oh, no, it'll be packed in one of your suitcases.
21:59Yeah, well, if I find anything.
22:01Yeah, well, thank you.
22:03I'll take care of yourself.
22:05Yeah, I will.
22:06And you, Dot.
22:08Yeah.
22:12I'll get along with you, cos I'm going inside, cos I hate goodbyes also.
22:15Not goodbye, Dot.
22:16It's au revoir.
22:17Not goodbye, Dot.
22:18It's au revoir.
