- How are we, mate?
- Good, mate.

- You took your time.

I'm just gonna stick a tape on,
alright? Go for it.

Hi, Daniel.

Mandy...
How's school? How's things?

Yeah, good.

School's so boring.

[Mandy] Our Sandra
got a job in the bookies

and she's getting
two pound an hour.

Why do me A-Levels
when I can earn a few bob

and be out every weekend?

What do you think?

Daniel?

Hey? Eh, yeah... Yeah.

[Mandy]
'Spose it's harder for lads.

But my brother
got a job night-packing

in that new supermarket
up Charlotte Road.

- Who's that?
- Who?

[Mandy] Oh, her.

Nobody... Alison something.

[Mandy] A year below us.

[music stops]
[crowd complaining]

Okay, keep your knickers on.

I'm Daniel O'Toole.

I know who you are.

- What's your name?

Want to dance, Alison Connor?

I'm about to leave.

One dance.

And I'll walk you home.

One dance but you won't be

- Can I get another one?
- Okay.

You're Dan O'Toole.

[Dan] I am, mate. Yeah. Yeah.

I read all your stuff in NME.

Inspired me to get
into the industry.

Oh right...

The band are shit, aren't they?

I don't know...

No, I ah, I think
they got what it takes

to put this city
back on the map.

And I'm about to send
500 words to that effect

into Rolling Stone.

No. Yeah, yeah.

No, I was going to say they
could probably go that way.

- Nice to meet you.
- Yeah, you too, mate.

- Alright, look after yourself.
- Alright. Yeah.

Fucking liar.

[traffic sounds]

[indistinct chattering]

[woman] Wow! Dan!?
Duncan's here with the takeaway.

[woman] Yeah, he's taking
it pretty hard.

Alex just left on the
train this morning.

Eighteen and off to uni.

Christ!

I remember when Alex were born.

Hard to believe he's out
in world on his own now.

[woman] I remember
when he was born -

22 bloody hours trying to push
this melon head out of my body.

That's it, alright.
You'll put him off his dinner.

[Duncan] Aww, physics.

Don't know where
he gets it from.

Must be his real Dad, eh?

Ah, yeah. Oh fuck you.
Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you.

I was smart. Anyway I was
smart enough to know

school was for knobheads.

Pair of knobheads,
the both of you.

Anyway, look, I've a, I've an
idea that I want to pitch you,

but we'll talk about it later.

- Sure, I'm intrigued.
- Alright.

Hey, got a couple of snappy
thrillers in car for you, Katja.

Oh, wonderful.
Thank you so much.

- Alright.
- It still amazes me though,

that you actually work
in publishing.

Why?

Maybe because you literally
skipped every English class.

Wrong use of 'literally'.

Ah, you can literally fuck off.

Alright anyway, cheers you lot.

- Oh, cheers.
- Cheers.

[all] Eyes and eyes,
eyes, eyes, eyes.

That's not bad, that.

Right, let's see what we're
working with here, Kat.

[Duncan] It smells delicious,
don't it?

[music volume increases]

Dan, please turn it down a bit.
I can't hear myself think.

[Duncan] That reminds me.

I saved an article
for you, mate.

[Daniel] Oh yeah?

Total blast from past.
You won't believe it.

Pinging you now,
before I forget.

[gentle music]

[radio announcer]
Welcome to 984 in the mornings,

and I'm here with Alison Connor
talking about her new novel,

"Tell The Story".

So Alison, straight to number
one on the bestseller list,

a pre-emptive film adaptation

from one of the world's
biggest studios,

and a high six figure deal
for your next novel.

Wow!

Well, nobody's more
surprised than me.

[both laughing]

Alison, your novel is the
classic Australian family saga,

but it contains a character
who moved here from England.

Now, it might not
really sound like it,

but you're a working class
lass from Sheffield.

Do you put much of yourself

or the people you grew up with,
into your writing?

Well, only the bits
they can't sue me for.

[both laughing]

Um, but, but no...

Sheffield!

That was, that was such
a lifetime ago,

and I, you know, I'm a
completely different person now.

[phone ringing]

[announcer] Oh, our lines
are lighting up.

Here come our callers.

[Alison] Oh, that was awful.

[Cass] No it wasn't, honey,
you did really well.

She kept talking
about Sheffield.

Well, yeah, the interview's
been syndicated

for BBC's Women's Hour.
Didn't I tell you?

[Alison sighing]

Do you think I'll get
much coverage over there?

I fricking hope so.

Publishers want to
organise a tour.

London, obviously, but we
could send you up north.

Do a stint in your old
stomping ground if you like.

Well, why don't you
just think it over.

[whistle blowing]

[players shouting indistinctly]

[boy] Sick...

- [boy] Play again...
- Come on boys...

[boy] Pass it, pass it.

[indistinct shouting]

[Alison] That weren't bad.

[Mandy] Fancy him, do ya?

Who?

You know who.

Dan O'Toole.

He's not a cradle-snatcher.

[boy] Keep it up, boys.
Keep it up.

See ya later.

[crowd cheering]

[players chattering]

[school bell ringing]

[gentle music]

[chuckling]

[soft music through headphones]

Some of us are trying to study.

[switches music off]
Ah, me too.

What's so funny about poetry
from the 18th Century?

It's filthy.

[both chuckling]

What are you listening to?

[music starts softly
through headphones]

["Northern Sky" by
Nick Drake playing]

# I never felt magic

# Or felt sweet breezes

# But now you're here #

[music reverts to playing
through headphones]

That's poetry.

[switches music off]

- I need to finish up.
- Oh yeah, me too.

Hey, there's a,
there's a party on Friday.

I... think I'm busy.

Alright, well...
well it's not a big deal.

I'll see you.

[softly] Shit.

["Late Again" by Always playing]

[man] Come on, mate.
I need a piss.

[music playing loudly]

[people chattering]

[music playing loudly]

She's not coming, mate.

- Who?
- You know who.

Look at ya! Mooching around
like some mardy arse.

Here - she's probably
frigid anyway.

There's more to life

than getting inside
a girl's knickers, Dunc.

You know that?

You a bum-pumper or something?
Jesus!

# I'm drinking now to find I'm
always thinking of you #

Have you heard the rumours?

Apparently, Tracy Gordon

saw Mr. Phillips and Ms. Green
getting off in the staff room.

And you really believe that,
do ya?

- Yes.
- You are so gullible.

Mate, she swore on her
guinea pig's life, mate.

- A guinea pig's... Right!
- Serious stuff.

[Michael] ...the page...

[Alison] I don't have anything

that doesn't make me
look like shit.

Sorry, I'm just...
I need to learn this speech.

- Michael?
- Yes, darling.

You look amazing in everything.

I tell you what, why don't
you try that little number

hanging up in my wardrobe.

What are you talking about?

What do you mean, what am I...

- What have you done?
- Hmm.

[Michael laughing]

[wardrobe door closing]

- Babe!
- You deserve it.

[Micheal reading] It'd like to
welcome one and all.

Oh, Thea called earlier.
Wishing you luck.

Oh, that's nice.

Oh, I wonder why
she didn't call me.

Ah, she did. You left your phone
downstairs so I answered.

Hmm...

Hey Stella.
Are you getting ready?

I don't have to go, do I?

- Well, I just thought...
- I'm not going!

[door slamming shut]

[mobile phone chiming]

[acoustic guitar playing]

[Katja] Hey, you know what?
I just made three cups.

- You what?
- One for Alex as well.

Oh, did you.

Look, he'll be back
at half-term.

Sure. But what if,
what if we're not here?

Oh, why, where would,
where would we be?

You know that I've been
talking about having a holiday

after this work trip,
so I was thinking,

what if I stayed in New York
and you joined me,

and then we could stay
there for a couple of weeks

or maybe even a few months.

Right! I mean, that's a bit
more than a holiday, but...

Yeah, but now is as
good time as any,

and you've always dreamt about
that great American road trip.

Yeah, you know,
to see bands play.

Just hear me out.

I mean, there's nothing really
tying us here, is there?

Ah, work!

Yeah, but I could always
take a sabbatical

- and you can just...
- What?

Take a break from
freelance journalism.

Come on, Dan.

Yeah, I mean, anyway...

My Dad still hasn't got a date
for his hip operation.

Look he's in a lot of pain,
Kat he is.

I know.

We should be going around there
more often, to be honest.

- Even more?
- Well, we do live the nearest.

And speaking of which -

you, you going to come
with me this morning?

You know, I got stuff to do.

Please tell them I'm,
I'm working.

Yes, okay. Will do.

Alright, well let's get ready...

- We'll talk later.
- Sure.

[Marian] It were Brenda, who had
your French fancies yesterday?

[Bill] She's a good girl
is Brenda.

[Marian] And she were bragging
about getting a new microwave.

Oh...

[Marian] She says you can do
aught in 'em. Spuds and all...

Oh, I'd love a microwave.
Breakfast, Dan?

- No time.
- Oh, for God's sake.

Did you nick my Walkman?

What would I want
with your Walkman?

Here! Here! Right in front
of you. Eat that. Ta-rah.

- See ya, Mum.
- Be good.

Alright, see you in a bit, Dad.

Later... Is my lunch ready?

[Alison] Hi ya.

[Dan] Hi ya.

I ah, I didn't know
you lived around here.

I, I don't.

I forgot me history book.
I'm heading back home.

Wouldn't it be faster to
just hop on a bus?

Thanks for the song lyrics.

Hey look, I've got
that prat Fleming

for English this morning.

Want some company?

I best not. Don't want me Mum
thinking I'm just bunking off.

What about this weekend?

The match?

I've got plans.

Okay.

See you then.

[Dan] Yeah...

[gentle music]

[people chattering]

[woman on PA] If I can just have
your attention for a moment.

I would first like
to start by saying

we here at Richmore Publishing

are so happy to
welcome you here tonight

to celebrate this
remarkable book

and it's even more remarkable
author, Alison Connor.

[applause and cheering]

And who better to talk about
Alison than her husband,

Dr. Michael McCormack.

[applause and cheering]

Well, as we all know,

Alison likes to keep
her words for the page,

and by God isn't she good at it?

[applause and cheering]

In all seriousness,

when I heard that Alison
had completed a novel,

I couldn't believe it.

[smattering of laughter]

Now there's going to be
some speeches later on

from her editor and some
other special guests.

But for now, can I ask
you all to raise a glass,

for the author of
'Tell the Story' -

my Little Ali.

[applause and cheering]

Thanks, hon.

I'm exhausted.
Jesus...

- [Michael] You kidding me?
- [Stella] What?

- You out of your mind, Stella?
- It was already open, Dad.

- Is this some kind of joke?
- Relax!

- I've not done anything...
- What the hell's wrong with you?

You skip your mother's
book launch

and then we get home to
find you out here drinking.

Relax. I didn't drink any.

Oh, you didn't drink any,
did you?

Just got the whiskey out
for no reason did ya, mate?

What the hell is
going on with you, Stella?

You have been stomping
around this house for weeks...

Stella! Don't walk away
from me, please.

You...

I'm going to find out
what is going on here.

Passcode's still her birthday,
right?

Michael, you can't
look at her phone.

Ali, she might be
getting bullied

or doing drugs or something.
We don't know.

Yeah, well she's still
allowed her privacy.

Fine.

Just trying to look out for her.
Something is up.

Yeah, I know, and we will
talk to her tomorrow -

calmly.

[loud rock music
playing upstairs]

Oh, I don't think so.

[Michael] Stella! That's enough.
Turn that noise off. Stella!

Turn that music off, now!

[gentle reflective music]

Good morning, love.

Morning.

You alright?

Oh, thank Christ. God,
I've been looking for that.

Duncan wants you.

Okay.

Yeah, he wants to talk
about this new book

that you're writing.

Well, did you talk to him?

No. He, um, he sent you a text.

Were you going to tell me?

If there was something to tell.
Yeah, I was.

Do you remember
what you were like

the last time you wrote a book?

Because I do.

I mean, me and Alex, we had
to tiptoe around the house.

You practically went
into a cave.

Why now?

You've been freelancing for
years and we've got by on my...

Your wage, yeah.

Yeah...

I thought that we were going
to seize the moment.

Do the road trip, like I said.

I'm not being funny Kat,

but I mean, you just sprung
this on me yesterday.

Okay...

Great...

[football match
broadcasting on radio]

[Bill] It's a midlife crisis.

Empty nesters.
That's what you are.

It's not a bloody
midlife crisis.

Katja wants to go on a road trip

and you want to write a novel.

It's the very definition
of a midlife crisis.

[football match broadcast
and commentary continues]

[gentle music]
[football commentary continues]

[commentary becomes excited]

[football match crowd
cheering loudly]

[Bill and Dan both cheering]

- Yes, we got one.
- That's more like it.

I can relax, now.

[Dan cheering] Go on, boys!

Whoo...

[crowds chattering]

[man] Looking forward to it,
boys.

We got a good game today, yeah?

[Alison and man
chatting and laughing]

[Alison] Just any feature...

Daniel, are you going
to the match?

What am I saying?

Where else would you be going?

Um, this is my brother, Peter.

- Alright, mate, heard about you.
- Yeah...

- What stand you in?
- Row A.

Oh, you're only a few rows up.
Come with us.

[Peter] Yeah, I mean, come on.

No way we can lose
against United, right?

I don't know, they've been
a bit shit, our side.

Yeah, I know.

Got to support the team,
haven't we?

- [Alison] Let's go.
- Come on.

Come on, lads.

More buttered bread, anyone?

[Marian] Alison do you want
some more gravy, love?

Anyone for bread?
Vinegar on your chips?

No, I'm fine.

Oh, is anyone talking to
our Joe? Is he coming over?

- He rang yesterday...
- Dan, stop stealing me chips.

Remind me later when
you're trying to fit into

- your miniskirt.
- Hey!

You're not going out again,
love?

It's Saturday night.

[Dan] Who'd want to
go out with you?

[Marian] Oh dear,
you're unbelievable, you.

I'll leave some sandwiches
out for you later on.

[Marian] Oh no, I like fussing,
don't I?

You like pigeons, Alison?

Oh, Dad, she don't want
to talk about pigeons.

I love pigeons.

See! I raise them.
I'll show you later.

[Marian] Leave 'em be, Bill.

We're going upstairs
to listen to some music.

Ooh, upstairs
to listen to music.

Is yours a madhouse
like this one, Alison?

Um, er...

[Bill] It's much more civilised.
Is that right, Dan?

- [Marian] We are civilised.
- I've not been in her house.

[Marian] You'll eat some
more if you're going out.

[Bill] Well, not to worry.

[pigeons cooing]

[Bill] Come out
and meet our visitor.

Hello...

Oh, ain't she pretty?

Hello, lovely.
Good girl, huh.

- [Alison] So soft.
- [Bill] Say hello to Alison.

Want to hold her?

Yeah, just make sure
her wings are tight

so she don't flap about.

[Bill] That's it...

- You're tiny.
- She likes you.

She's beautiful.

How do they know to come back?

Just summat in 'em.

They know they're loved.

In you go.

[Michael] Ali?

Hey.

- We need to talk.
- Okay.

What about?

Stella.

What, what has she done now?

The moodiness,
the sleeping all hours.

She's pregnant.

Oh my God... Michael?

I'm telling you Al,
she's pregnant.

She's...
They're just teenage hormones.

Of course you'd think
there's a medical explanation.

Alison, she told me.

I just heard her throwing up -
I put two and two together.

It was like she was waiting
for one of us to say it.

The only option
is to have a termination.

Don't you want to go to uni?
Don't you want to have a life?

Who says I won't have a life?

Darling!
That's a little naive.

I'm keeping it. That's final.

Why won't you tell us
who the father is?

Darling...

Did you want this to happen?

No, of course I didn't
want it to happen.

No, I, I mean...

I didn't even know
you had a boyfriend.

Was it...?

Were you okay
with what happened?

Mum, I knew what I was doing.

I fucked up.
What more can I say?

So you haven't
met her mum or dad?

Has she told you anything
about them? Where do they live?

- Mum!
- I'm only asking.

It's not like I'm being
high and mighty.

God knows, we're not
exactly rolling in it.

It's just, well...

You don't seem to
know a lot about her.

I'll get her to fill in a
questionnaire, shall I?

Hey, cheeky...

I'm just saying, just...

Well make sure
it's not all one way.

[Alison] I best get home.

- Oh, I'll walk ya.
- Thank you, Mrs. O'Toole.

Oh, you're welcome, love.

- See you later.
- Ta-rah.

- I'll come with you.
- No, I'm okay.

[Dan] I'm walking you home.

- Dan, no you're not.
- It's no problem, honestly.

[Alison] I don't need you to.

[Dan] I'm walking you home.
Alison, I'm not letting you...

I'm not some weak silly lass

who can't make her
own way home, Dan.

- I never said you were.
- I'll talk to you tomorrow.

Jesus Ali, you'll spend the
day with me, but you...

Alison!

[birds squawking]

[dogs barking]

[distant chattering]

[gentle music]

[door closing]

[Peter] Hey, ho...

Oh...

Sorry, I thought I'd
get in before you.

You were fine.

- Did Daniel walk you home?
- Yep.

Did he say anything?

No.

He's a nice lad, you know?

Listen, er, you alright
if I head back out?

I've got to see a man
about a dog.

Go on.

Are you going to bed?

Gonna stay up and watch
the Two Ronnies.

- What?
- I'm going straight up.

Right...

Okay.
I'll look after her tomorrow.

You're working all week.
You deserve a break.

Okay, come here.
See you later, yeah.

- Have fun.
- I'll try.

[Peter] Bye.

[door closing]

[door opening]
[woman chuckling]

[woman] I'd knew you'd say that.
[man chuckling]

Oh, Alison!
Martin!

- She's home. Give us a kiss.
- I'm just off to bed, Mum.

Oh come on, sit with us.

Leave her, Catherine.

She's going to bed.

Now you can have some fun
with me, Kitty Cat hey.

Have some fun with Martin.

We'll get through this.

I don't want you to worry.
We'll figure it out together.

I was thinking I might take her
to Sheila's for a few days.

Just, talk to her.

I'm not sure that's
a great idea at all.

I think she needs to see us on
the same page at the moment.

Help her understand that she
really only has one option here.

But she doesn't.

Okay, well you didn't go to uni,
so maybe you don't get it, but...

I get it, Michael.

[Alison softly] Jesus...

[Bill] Morning, Ted.

When you're done there,

you might try a round
on me front windows.

A microwave and a new car.

I'll never hear the end
of this from your Mum.

- Dad?
- What?

Ah, nothing...

Now look son, girl trouble
or money trouble?

And seeings as you've never had
to pay for aught in your life.

[sighing] Does it...

Does it mean something

if a girl don't want you
to walk her home?

I used to walk your
mum home every night.

And her dad would stand at the
gate staring - never liked me.

But Marian wasn't best
fond of him either,

so she used to make me
walk her right to the gate.

- To piss off Granddad?
- Yeah.

And the old fart was
all bark and no bite.

Cried at our wedding,
told me I were like a son.

Some folk don't like their
lasses even seeing a lad,

let alone being
walked home by one.

It'll be alright.

Bloody hell, I'm only joking.

Say it again.

It's the truth, isn't it?
My brother knows your brother.

And your mum.

Does Dan know...

[Dan] Does Dan what?

Dan! I was just wondering

if you were coming to the
party at the weekend?

Thought we'd never get you off
that dance floor last week.

No, I won't be going.

Oh, by the way, did you do that
essay Fleming set, Dan?

I was wondering if you'd
give me an hand.

Alison, wait.

- Dan?
- I'm busy, alright.

Anyway, I don't know why
you're bothering with essays.

You're going to get a job
in a bookies, aren't you?

[Dan] Alison! Alison!
Hang on. Wait a sec.

Can I take that for you?

[gentle music]

I'm sorry for running off
at the weekend.

- It's just...
- I get it.

You do?

You don't want your
parents seeing a lad

walking you to your door.

Ah, yeah, sorry.
I, I should have said.

That's okay.

Go ahead.

# Stephanie says
that she wants to know #

# Why she's given half her life
to people she hates now #

# Stephanie says
(Stephanie says) #

# When answering the phone
(when answering the phone) #

# What country shall I say is
calling from across the world #

# But she's not afraid to die #

# The people all
call her Alaska #

# Between worlds
So the people ask her #

# 'Cause it's all in her mind
It's all in her mind #

Has anyone ever
made you a mix tape, Stel?

- A what?
- A mix tape.

A collection of songs that
reminds someone of you.

# Stephanie says
(Stephanie says) #

Haven't you and Dad
been together, like forever?

Yeah, we, we got together young,

but you know, I did
have a life before him.

And there are just some
people that you never...

..um...

You never forget the boy who
makes you your first mix tape.

- I listened to your tape.
- What tape?

I listened to yours, too.

What tape?
[both chuckle]

What were your favourite song?

Hmm? I can't choose.

Yeah, nor can I.

No, actually I, I love
"Stephanie Says".

[boy] Ahh...

[gentle music]
[birds calling]

- Hi. Oh, come in.
- Hi, Sheila.

[Sheila] I missed you.

- How was the trip, love?
- It was really good.

Yeah, it was really good...

- [Katja] Hey.
- Hey.

Look at you.

Someone looks happy.

Yeah. Boozy work lunch.

Boozy work lunch.
Right. Okay.

Hey...

[both moaning softly]

[kissing]

So, me and the girls
were talking and

I realised I hadn't asked you
what the idea for the book was.

No, you're right. You didn't
ask about my book idea.

Do you want to tell me something
about your book idea?

You want to hear about the book?

Yes, I want to hear
about the book.

Do you, do you remember
Jack Leonard?

Ah, yes.

I mean, I'm not a music
expert like you are,

but I think everyone remembers
Jack Leonard, right?

So what about him?
Isn't he dead?

Ah no, no, no, no.
Very much not dead.

Oh!

No, he, he lives in New Zealand.

Oh, he Kate Bush-ed it.

Totally Kate Bush-ed it.
Exactly.

Alright, listen,
a couple of years ago,

I tried to get him to do an
in-depth interview with me.

-Hm-mm
-Um...

You know, just a piece about
him being that famous

and then just vanishing.

But you know,
he wasn't interested.

So you want to write a
book about him vanishing?

I, I don't see how that
makes a whole book.

Alright, listen to this.

- Okay. Are you listening?
- Yes.

Okay, he got in contact
with me, right?

A few weeks ago and he says
that he wants to do a book

that talks about everything,
like his whole life, everything.

You know, ups, downs,
warts and all, everything.

Okay, I get it that he
was big at the time,

but is a book about a guy that
was famous back in the day,

really going to be that...
interesting?

I mean, some might say
it's how the book is written.

Of course. Sorry,
you're a great writer,

but you know he's um,

so he's waited this long
to tell the story.

Maybe you could just wait
until next year.

Does it really matter?

I just really think
that we should

spend more time together, Dan.

Yeah...

I know you love what you do,

but music isn't everything.

Don't, don't we matter?

Yeah, of course we matter.
Don't say that.

Of course we matter.

Look I ah, I am thinking
about your trip, I promise.

- Yes.
- Promise.

Good.

- Alright.
- Do it.

I will take a bath.

# A taste of something
warm and sweet #

# That shivers your bones
and rises to your heat #

# I'm going down to
the place tonight #

# The damp and hungry
place tonight #

# Should all the stars
shine in the sky #

# They couldn't outshine
your sparkling eyes #

# But it's so hard
to be the one #

# To touch and tease
and to do it all for fun #

# But it's too much
for a young heart to take #

# 'Cause hearts are the easiest
things you could break #

# And I talk to the filth
and I walk to the door #

# I'm knee deep in myself #

# But I want to get more
of that stuff #

# Of that stuff #

# Some candy talking #

# Some candy talking #

# Talk #

# And I want #

# And I want #

she's walking #
