It was boredom at first sight.

You could hardly call him right.

He is no one's Mr.

Right. But what do I see in him?

But then I'm not so ideal.

I'm not gentle or genteel. So this
wedding should be what does it.

A BSA Bantam.

And it's Mr. Miles.

Lawnworthy.

Hmm.

Yes, well, I've got that. I'll give him
the message.

I'm sorry, I must go. Yes, all right.
Goodbye.

Oh, all right.

All right, all right.

Yes?

Do you do hydraulics?

Pardon?

Some folks is leaking.

Then kindly move that thing.

I don't want oil stains on my path.

Oh, it's not dripping.

It's just a smear.

Look, if you'll go down the side there,
you'll find my son in the garage.

Now, excuse me.

Hello?

Yes, we do. I mean, he do.

Duh, duh.

Well, you give me your number and
I'll... Would you kindly mind your

No, look, he's busy at the moment, but
I'll get... No, I am not a secretary.

Did you say a noddy crank?

Are you being personal?

How dare you?

Yeah, the seals are about three quid
each, but they're easy enough to fit.

we say eight quid?

Great. Well, if you just leave it here.

Malcolm!

Yeah, it should be ready for tomorrow,
but if you give us a ring first.

Cheers. Malcolm!

Oh,

I got, er...

and good enough, you know.

Oh, never mind. Just give that to the
cat and start again.

Dismotivate business.

Say if Mrs. Lloyd -Roberts were to call
and see those greasy many things all

over the place.

Do you mean the bikes or the bikers?

Both. I'll go.

Hold it!

Yeah, hello?

Yes. Yes.

Jam pots?

Yeah, I can get some, yeah. Oh, that'll
be for me.

I'm running the WI bottle stall on
faculty. It's for me.

I'm sorry, yes, go on.

Yeah, matchless.

Yeah, black tops and crown bottoms,
right.

Jam pots?

You don't need this kind, unless you've
got trouble with your rear suspension.

Don't be coarse, Malcolm.

Oh, this is clever. This layer bag opens
up to make a waterproof change in math.

Brilliant. And it's covered in little
yellow duckies.

Yuckies. Yuckies.

Oh, and there's the same motif on this
set.

Matching baby bath potty and nappy
bucket with lid. Oh, God.

Oh, I can't make me mind up about the
bath in there.

Trouble is, it's not long before you
need something bigger.

Oh, look at this hanging cradle.

Or this kind with rockers. What do you
think?

For you, I definitely think hanging's
the answer.

Look, knock it off, Pamela. You sound
like the answer phone at Mothercare.

Well, I've got to think of these things.

Not yet, you haven't. You should be out
enjoying your last few months of

freedom. You're going to be stuck in
with the little yellow duckies soon

Oh, come on, let's go down the grapes
for the swift half.

What? All right, then, a pint.

You see, these days you seem to worry
more about what looks ladylike. No.

No pint?

Certainly not. While I'm in this
condition, no alcohol of any description

pass my lip.

Oh, right, so you want me to find
another way in?

OK. You stick your head on the table and
I'll pour it in your ear. No.

All right, we'll try it. Plan two, you
lie on the floor. No alcohol.

Well, let's stick to Hannah's bitter.

What about the smoking?

Well, we don't, either of us.

Secondary smoking.

OK, well, take a plazzy bag of fresh air
and you can stick your head in it.

Brenda, I am not risking my child's
health by going into one of those

And I'm not risking my sanity by staying
another minute in this place. There you

go. Oh, I can't.

Why not?

I don't like drinking on my own. Then
call Malcolm.

Call him what?

Phone him.

I have done three times this week.

You only get his mother and all she says
is, he's busy.

And is it important?

Well, if he's working evenings as well,
that means his business has taken off,

which is just what you wanted.

Either that or he's out on the raft
every night and the old witch is

for him.

Not Malcolm.

No, not Malcolm.

It's home to the largest organised crime
syndicate in the world.

With 150 ,000... Ooh.

But then... Malcolm?

Malcolm! What?

The TV's funny.

I'll record it. I'll watch it later.

Oh, Malcolm, please, come here.

What's up?

Oh, you see.

Oh,

it's all right again.

It was all white lines at the birthday.

Has it only just started?

Yes. Oh, it'll be me lathe needed to
prep, I'm sorry.

Hold on, hold on.

You've got to stop lathing, aren't you?

What lathing? No, I can't have promised
this to her. You know, Miss Sandy, go

on. Oh, it won't be that long.

Oh, not again.

Who is it?

Hello? Hiya.

Brenda, where have you been?

What do you mean, where have I been?

I've been sitting here listening to
nightly readings from Teach Yourself

Bouncing. Where have you been?

Oh, nowhere, just busy.

I meant to call, but things have been a
bit frantic.

Thought you might have rung me.

I did.

Couldn't get past Winnie the Witch.

Did she not tell you that I called?

No, must have slipped her mind.

Anyway, er...

What do you want?

What?

I mean, why did you ring? To remind you
to still exist.

Oh, right. Thanks.

Yeah,

we must get together sometime.

Oh, don't force yourself, Mark. I'll see
you. Hold on. What about this weekend?

What about tonight?

I can't. I promise you. Tonight?

Yeah, but... Look, I won't be finished
till... Well, the thing is, if I pick

up at... Well, we should catch the last
half hour. Hurry up or you're dead.

Bye, Brenda.

That was Brenda.

Why didn't you tell me she'd called? As
an unpaid and unappreciated telephonist,

I do my best to record all the important
messages.

I can't be expected to handle your
social life as well.

You only need to use calls.

Oh, do I?

Well, Mrs Riley called.

Over the fence? At the front door.

To complain about the noise, the smell
of burning, and the type of visitors we

attract. Oh.

She reminded me of the ice cream stall.

I suppose she is a bit big.

The ice cream stall that would now be
upon the prom if I had not organised a

petition. It's a question of standards,
she said.

Look, I'll rig an extension up in the
garage.

Eh, eh.

Hello?

Yeah, Terry.

Oh, a car.

Oh, this place is like a Singapore
brothel. Mother.

The expression of your fathers.

No, it's somebody at the door.

No, mate, I'm sorry. I can't look at it
this weekend, no.

No, why don't you get the age to have a
look at it?

I know they're more expensive than me,
but I mean... See you, Terry.

Hello.

Name's Marge Lawnworthy. I think I might
have done something awfully silly with

my bantam.

Please look at this, madam.

Come on, please, gentlemen.

that used to be our living room for
three hours waiting for you. Yeah, I'm

sorry, but the phone just never stopped.

And now my mother's turned funny.

You mean one of her spells has
backfired?

No, she won't answer the phone.

Then I had Terry asking me to look over
this second -hand car he wants to buy,

and all I really want to do is go to
sleep.

Oh, no!

Sorry, pal, sorry.

Oh, come on, Adam, do you know me?

Yeah, but I didn't miss it.

You might just be a cop in disguise to
look like you.

Draw up. As if you're picking up a
pencil. Oh, right.

Circle, circle, point, draw up. Good.
Now the other one.

Circle, circle, point, draw up. Have you
had backache? No.

Indigestion?

Heartburn?

Nosebleeds? No.

Oh, come on. Must be something the
matter.

Got a sore bum.

Oh, well.

Let's see.

OK.

Ah, yeah.

They recommend diet.

What colour?

No diet.

No!

High -fibre foods, fruit, vegetable,
that's... Come on, that's the fella. I'd

finish you fine. Yes, well, I've got
this stuck in here every night with the

mother superior.

Hi, did you make it? No, we didn't.

I don't suppose you've got anything to
drink, have you?

Not unless these two have been making
wine.

Is there a book, a play or a TV
programme?

David's been teaching me. What?

Ventriloquism for the deaf.

Foot exercises.

I thought you were having a baby, not a
bunion.

It's to avoid cramp.

I was demonstrating, sir.

David went to a parenthood class this
evening.

Yep, we're going to feed this thing
through together.

Yeah? I'd like to be around when you
demonstrate the last bit.

No, I'll have a slight edema. It's not
unusual at this stage.

We've just got to watch for toxemia.

But we'll keep an eye on that at the
antenatal clinic.

Oh, hey, Pam, why don't you get yourself
a normal fella who thinks milk comes

from bottles and lied in the wardrobe
till it's all over?

Because this is my fella.

Right. Oh, hey, Malcolm, pass us a
bucket.

Brenda, we've decided.

I'm going to make an honest woman out of
her.

Oh, you're not going to make her take
back the office stapling machine?

We're getting married.

What? Married.

What, both of you?

What's with each other? A week on
Friday.

What's the rush?

We're going away afterwards.

Honeymoon? A friend of mine's offered us
two weeks at his cottage near Lyon.

Lyon C?

Lyon Trance.

You mean, you two are getting married
just to use up a blank fortnight at your

mate's cottage?

Who are we going to, anyway?

We wondered if you and Malcolm would be
witnesses.

Well, it's a bit late, isn't it? I
thought the accident had already

At the registry office.

Best man and chief bridesmaid. Is he to
make his own frock?

Hey, Malk, your service is required
here. Malk!

Well, yeah, put her on a stand, knock
her out of gear, and I'll give her the

thing.

Want a lick?

Not that one.

That one's a kind of mountain.

Is that for you?

No, I'm taking Susan for a spin, but
I'll drop you around Mountain Spud.

OK. I suppose nobody knows me round
here.

Just put your seatbelt on.

Yeah, it was just the timing.

Marching's a bit rough, generally.

Could do with the de -coke.

When did you last change the plug?

Plug? Yeah, that's the white thing,
isn't it?

To be perfectly frank, I'm only just
taken up with this vintage bike

inherited from Uncle.

What's the damage for a full service, an
un -coke and all that?

Er, say, 20?

5? Fine.

I'll bring her back later. Bring a chum
to take me home.

Mind you, I can't do much before next
week.

No matter.

What have you been working on? Not me.

Bye. I'll be back later.

Bye.

What do you think of the wheels, then?

Not bad. The rest of it sounds a bit
rough, though.

Hey,

it's got a five -hour guarantee.

I could just jail it. It goes like a
bomb.

Yeah, very similar.

If we get the chest of the three, I'll
buy the pizzas.

We've spent two now.

Oh, is it?

Where's old Pickety, then? Don't drop
the food for that child.

Probably up there.

Getting ready to go out.

Where's she going? Singles' night at the
coven.

Hello, Mum.

What was that?

I think he said, hello, Mum. I'll get
washed.

And what did you say?

I smell cooking.

Something nice in the oven. That's not
what you said.

I did. Something in the oven.

What? She was baking when I left.

Um, how is everyone?

There's only two of us.

Well, what about your cat?

Trouble. He says, will you come round
with your little screwdriver thingy and

fix it?

It went sort of bang.

What's up with this?

Gasket's blown on his inlet manifold.

Don't say.

How long's it going to take to fix?

Well, it means it's meant to be... How
long?

A while.

Oh, we're supposed to be going out.

I know, but what else could I do?

Are you someone who takes?

No, thank you. Oh, I thought you were.

And you don't, do you, Susan, dear?

Pardon? Oh, sugar, no thanks.

Sweet enough, I'm sure.

How's your mother getting along these
days? Very well, thanks.

Will she be able to bring him by on
Saturday?

Probably. Oh, I'm sure she will. Great
one for the tombola, isn't she?

Yes, I remember last year she won one of
those beautiful Marie Antoinette

fuchsias that the vicar grows from
cuttings. Yes, it died.

My mum's the same.

Dead. She won 65 quid on Friday.

Amazing it was.

She told us she was stuck for ages
waiting for one number. And then he

her at the very instant she shouted,
Come on, Frank, I'm sweating on seven.

Oh, dears, Mrs Riley again.

What should I answer her? Please, Susan,
dear, tell her I'm in the... Bart.

Bart.

How much longer do you reckon, Mel?

Well, I've hardly started.

Yeah, well, you won't be too long, will
you? I promised Susan I'd have her own

bike bike.

She's going out this evening. Yeah,
well, if you'd lend a hand.

Yeah, well, I'd like to, mate. It was a
bit special, you know what I mean?

You finished yet?

What? Oh, right.

No, not yet. We had to shift a few bikes
out. Give us a bit of room.

Well, how much longer are you going to
be? We're supposed to be going through

Chester. I'm doing me best.

And what are you doing?

Supervising. Yeah, well, supervising a
bit quicker.

Complaining about a bike, Pop.

crop her drive and says she's going to
tell the council that you're running a

business from a private house.

Then I'll tell them she reads in bed by
the light of a street lamp.

Um, I don't think that's going to make
the law.

Well, it ought to be.

Oh, dear, I don't know what to do.

Wouldn't Malcolm be better off with his
own premises?

Well, I'm sure he would, but he claims
he can't afford to move.

Setting up problems, I suppose.

Is it cash flow or just underestimating
cost?

I don't know.

See, really what he needs is some expert
advice from someone who knows about

bookkeeping and accounts.

I've done bookkeeping.

You have?

Yeah. I'm always like with me library
books.

Now, you always mod shops, aren't you,
Susan?

Now, which department is it now?

Accounts. Is it?

I could take a look if Malcolm wants.

Oh, Pam works in an office.

That's hardly the same thing.

Anyway, isn't she about to get married?

Malcolm told you, did he?

It was a bit of a surprise, really. Yes.

I didn't even know she was pregnant.

Look, I ought to make a move. I'm going
out. Oh, perhaps Malcolm can run you

home. No, no, no, no, no. He's got
enough on his plate at present.

Weren't you two supposed to be going
out?

Well, that was the rumour.

They are more the cerebrals, might say.

Not so much in Dutch, with the hands and
that, but quick upstairs.

So they say.

Oh, what's this?

Look, I've got to get back.

Well, we won't be too long, will we,
Malcolm?

I don't know about you, I'll be at least
another hour.

It's turned out a bit trickier than we
thought, Sue. Never mind, I'll walk.

not far.

You sure?

I'll come with you, except it looks like
there might be a drop of rain about.

Goodbye, Michael.

Bye, Sue. See you soon.

Yeah, well, if you give me the details,
I'll let him know and he'll get back to

you as soon as he can.

It's just he's got a lot on at the
moment.

Any tea going, Mrs Ed? We've just
finished.

Oh, I'm at a coffee run.

I'll bring one through.

You're a lovely lady.

Do you know that?

Norton Commander.

Right, OK, well, I'll let him know.
He'll get back to you quite soon. Thanks

lot. Bye.

That's a big lad, isn't he?

Yeah, too busy.

That's five calls I've taken in the last
hour.

Yeah, you know why?

Because he's good. Because he's cheap.

He's good as well, but mainly because
he's cheap.

Needs the jobs for his mates, and
doesn't charge them for it. Yeah, and

right, and that's stupid, because these
people, they just take advantage.

Lovely, keep it coming.

Hold it, hold it.

Leave it here, shall I? Er, leave it
just outside for the minute, eh? Right.

Mrs Stoneway, I must warn you that if
you do not get that son of yours to move

those smelly machines from outside my
house, I shall be forced to take action.

Yes, I'm sorry, Mrs Riley, but they're
not his, you see.

I've got to put them there.

Please don't insult my intelligence, Mrs
Stoneway. I couldn't do that, Mrs

Riley. Right, that's it.

You've forced my hand.

I shall have to take action.

I'll do something. I shall... I shall
get up a petition.

A petition?

You wouldn't.

Check his blood. That seems to be all
right. I'll sort it out later, don't

worry. Well, I'll have to move them out
to get Terry's car in the garage. I'll

put them back now. Oh, no, this is all
too much. They'll have to go. Go?

Yes, you must find somewhere else.

I've had all I can take.

Now, Mrs. Wright is talking about a
petition.

Yeah, but, I mean... Here's a list of
people who've rung.

Go on, Brenda. You can see I'm busy.

Know anything about these motorcycles,
sir? Oh, yeah, I'll put them back now.

When are we going to chapter?

God's sake, Brenda, hold on, will you?
Hey,

you the fellow who fixes bikes cheaply?
Yeah, I've got a lot on now.

Yeah, well, what it is is me gears are
slipping. Yeah, I'm sorry, can you call

back next week?

Oh, no, we're having no more.

You said so.

I do. Now just tootle off.

Are you talking to me?

Yes, on your bike.

She just assaulted me there.

question

Don't walk.
