Sorry, there's nothing I can do. It's
just thrown on my chest.

Well,

I've said that already, as you know, but
I've got to get this right.

It

is.

The bride was sneezing all the way up
the aisle. Lucky she had the veil,

Trust? Oh, no, of course I trust you.

No, whatever you think is right. Yes,
I'm fine.

I'm picking your dad up. He's at the
doctor's. Half an hour. This will be

Oh, lovely.

Rachel, no, I promise I'm not trying to
get involved.

I just... I want to make sure it's
reasonable.

Well, either way, perhaps we don't need
fresh chocolate.

I don't want to make a scene. I know
you've got a lot going on.

I'm not good on my own.

Just enjoy it. You're on holiday.

Talk to someone you don't know.

Sounds horrific.

No, I've got my book.

I'll be fine.

I'm so sorry.

Finger food? Yes, of course we can. But
maybe just a couple of times.

It's the cost, Rachel.

The... No, please don't. Don't hurt me.

Oh, no, it's all right. I'm driving.

Get the windows cleaned and make sure
Finbar does the paperwork on a Thursday,

because he forgets.

Yeah, it's petty cash, but it's still
got to be filed on the system.

One sec.

Sorry I'm late. I'm Andy.

Yeah, we met, remember?

I'll be in in a minute.

What?

Sorry,

what? No, he was just, um, doesn't
matter. Uh, petty cash. Right. Yes.

Yes, I know you like them. But they're
so small and so expensive.

But I don't know if it's justifiable.

What on earth do you think you're

doing? I'm sorry.

You nearly bloody killed me. I'm sorry.

I really am. Why the hell were you
driving so fast?

You're lucky I took a step back. No.

It's just I'm on my way to collect my...
Dawn.

You're Dawn Mitchell.

Dawn, it's Gail.

Gail Reynolds.

What? Oh, you'd know me as Gail
Matthews. We were at school together.

Well, I haven't seen you in 50 years.

Oh, Gail Matthews.

Wow.

Look at you.

I'll stand outside this window till I
punch you the

best.

Just tell me what you heard.

The sun will rise again for us, each day
a few thirties.

If I could only find...

Better late than never. I'm so sorry.

It's just I had a... No, it's fine.

20 minutes stood here, I'll never get
back.

I've had lots of thoughts.

I'm sure, but it's just something
happened. Maybe that I should arrange a

next time.

Oh, hello.

Hi. Oh, this is Dawn. She was crossing
the road, and I nearly hit her.

You nearly? Yes, but it turns out that
we know each other, haven't seen each

other since we were at school. I'm
sorry, you nearly hit her? Yes.

I know. I just didn't see.

Hello.

Henry.

I'm so sorry about my wife.

Good to meet you. I said I'd give her a
lift home. Least I can do. Absolutely

the least.

Look, why don't we take you for a cup of
tea somewhere nice? You two can catch

up, have a gossip, whatever ladies do.

And we can all just steady ourselves.

Yes? What do you think?

All right. Thank you.

Perfect.

Oh, and don't worry.

I'll drive.

How was the trip?

I mean... Europe, right? Yeah, we
travelled around all summer.

Sorry, it was books and informants. Oh,
you're fine. You're here now.

How's it going?

Good, yeah.

Just gone on leave and there's so much
to get ready and buy and suddenly our

flat's falling apart.

Microwave's broken and the washing
machine's got a leak or something.

Were you with this guy?

Liam, yeah. I met him after we... Yeah.

Yeah, well, clearly you have a good
taste in men, so... Oh, it was very dark

the party. Oh, come on. We liked each
other.

We were drunk.

And it was really good, by the way. What
was?

Us.

Sex.

Just saying it was good.

I liked it.

Well, it certainly did the job.

Liam? Yes?

It's Andy. He drives a delivery van, got
stuck in traffic, and he's the father

of our child.

Good to meet you. Yeah, you too.

Oh, the leaves are cold.

Yeah. We've actually got most of what we
need.

We should probably be heading back.

We've got an appointment.

What? I thought we were shopping
together.

Yeah, but you're an hour late, so it...
Oh, OK.

Well, I'm supposed to be at work anyway,
so...

Just text me the details.

I'll pay half for all the stuff.

Thanks. Sorry I was late.

Yeah, we need to go.

Right. Bye.

Bye.

Bye.

Bill,

they're ready for you.

It's about order, efficiency,
communication.

My aim is to make sure that I can take
the task off your desk and need you to

your job.

Keep tight, efficient control.

You haven't worked in an office
environment for a while.

Are you sure you would enjoy it, being
part of a bigger team?

Oh, yes.

I'd enjoy seeing how we could all work
together.

Tell me about you, Belle.

Your hobbies.

I'm very much into Pilates.

That's what you teach, isn't it?

What do you do when you're not working,
when you have a spare moment?

I suppose what I'm getting at... Where
does the joy come in your life?

I like to get a sense of a person.

So, what do you really love?

Architecture.

Architecture? Yep.

You should be a changing lane. Oh,
Henry, that's not... Clear the area,

to your hat.

I mean, I don't want to be rude, but how
many times did you take your test?

Oh, can we not? Yeah, right. I mean, two
is probably average, three is a lot.

Guess how many?

Nine. Nine times.

Yes, nine.

You were never great at following rules.
Has she invited you to a party? It's

tomorrow. She's 70.

Fantastic. Let your hair down.

Big small photographs of her. We like a
laugh.

What do you think?

Love to. Good.

Anyway, Latte, what can I get for you?

Green tea.

Green tea.

Very good.

Oh, running your own business. Yeah.

Just as I would have imagined.

Doing exactly what you want. You were
like that at school. So much energy.

Well, you were energetic, too.

Oh, busy, certainly.

And also wild.

Wild? No. We all thought you'd run away
to the circus or something.

You'd go and do something incredible.

Really? Really.

You're all right, are you?

Yeah, kids are all grown up now.

Self -sufficient, mostly.

Henry's fun.

We go away sometimes.

Why were you driving so fast?

Oh, Dawn, I'm sorry.

What a thing!

It's fine, but I'd just love to know
why.

Well, to pick Henry up.

He hates waiting.

My God, by your grace.

Oh my God, I'm

sorry.

He was having a moment.

I'm strapped in by the hot guy on the
balcony.

Well,

you've got that look.

Mum had when I've eaten her chocolate, I
got pregnant or whatever.

Guess she didn't get the job.

No, I didn't. Your doorbell fell off.

Are you getting out?

No.

Are you taking the pill?

Still alone?

That's what you're asking?

The remote from the TV didn't work
yesterday, so I smashed it to pieces in

chair. Now I can only watch ITV2.

Isn't that ideal?

I want you to take Maya.

I want her to live with you in your
flat. You've got a spare room. You're

mum. No, you're her aunt.

She wouldn't intrude. She would.

And we've made our decisions. You had
children and I... Waited too long. Never

wanted them.

I help where I can, but... She's
supposed to be at school.

Hi. Yeehaw.

Belle's here.

Morning, Maya.

You're home early?

Don't patronise me.

Oh, for Christ's sake. Morning, Maya.

You're home early. All right, fine.
Let's just not speak.

Yeah, I'm good with that.

I got sent home for being aggressive.

Well, what did you do?

Nothing. I was talking with Kat in
physics and when Mr Kingston told us to

I accidentally dropped magnesium in a
boosting burner. Why, uh, why can't

Actually, I've been trying really hard
recently. Turning up, homework on time,

but no. Turns out whatever I do, I'm
aggressive.

Someone's called me!

See you next week.

I'm not going to help by getting in
between you. You just don't want

in your life you can't control.

Will you run her over? She was fine.

Look what? Friends reunited?

At your age?

Well, we were at school together, yeah.

At 70?

Nearly 70, yes. She's a pensioner. You
hit her with the car and she went

spinning on. I'm sorry.

I didn't hit her.

Rachel. Mum, it's not funny. You could
have killed her. I agree. It's not. What

we haven't established is why your
mother drove straight round a corner

looking. I just wasn't paying attention.

Got a lot on. You? Like what?

I mean the party.

You don't have to do anything. All
right, but if I left it up to you, we'd

to take out the mortgage. Rachel's
right. Leave it to her.

Actually, the reason... I don't want to
be controversial, but on the subject of

money, I need to borrow something. Like
she'd seen something.

Again, what's the problem there? How
much?

Five. Sure.

Just the time you know. Well, five.
That's not so bad.

500, Dad.

500? Well, that's a different matter.
Stop it, yeah? I'm not a child. I don't

like it either.

John. Just to tide me over. We can't.
You can. Not again. It's exceptional.

Well, we might be able to, but your
mother's got a point. My mother doesn't

understand money. John, yes, she does.
You always say she doesn't know how bank

accounts work. And she hasn't got a car
with contactless because she can't be

bothered to sort it out.

You always say she's hopeless in money.

Maybe, but she's still your mother.

You should get contact with me. She's
never developed the skills, but in fact

that's because I've always handled the
financial side.

Actually, I've handled as much as I can,
leaving your mother to live a life of

luxury. A lady who lunches, isn't that
right? I used to do things.

What?

Seeing Dawn today, she reminded me. I
was head girl.

Yes, I know. Won't shut up about it. In
a band, too.

Yes, I was the singer. I never told you.

Yes, we covered the Rolling Stones,
Small Faces. We were called Purple

Oh, Purple something.

I smoked pot.

Pot?

It was early onset.

Concussion? Don't laugh. Seriously, it
could be shock. I mean, come on.

Purple Dragon.

Do you think she makes it up? I mean,
she never really sings. No, she does.

heard her. When you were babies, she
used to sing a bit.

Any good?

Well, it's not exactly the word I'd use.

Certainly wouldn't put you to sleep, but
I'd rise up, I suppose, huh?

Gee.

Well, you know, it's a story.

Unexpected. You busy?

No. Come in.

What's that?

Holiday? No, Lee. Going away with work
tomorrow.

Right. He's just in the shower.

He'll be out in a minute.

Wow. You weren't joking, though.

So much kit.

So good of you to come back.

Not a problem.

Thank you for the butter.

Perfect.

Now, can I get you anything?

A cup of tea?

A glass of wine? Oh, no. Tea's good.

Thanks for the offer, though.

So, it was a big switch. Here.

Stop working.

So, I bought you something.

It's a microwave.

Only because you said yours didn't work.

I know it's not about the money, but I
had some savings. If I can make things

easier, make up for being late. That's
really sweet.

What's that?

What do you think it is?

Gas mask.

It's a breast pump.

Oh. Yeah, for the milk.

You have to encourage the flow,
apparently.

It's really important.

I've been reading loads of books.

And they don't all agree.

There's books?

Yeah. Yeah, there's loads of books.

That'd be hard, dating after a divorce.

It's all different these days. Act,
whatever.

I used to get drunk and end up with
someone.

I'm not supposed to do that now.

No.

You said you were divorced?

That's right.

Do you date?

You with someone, then?

No.

You know what? Maybe I will have that
glass of wine.

Good idea.

Well, maybe you could name her after me.

Andy. There are girls called Andy.

I don't know any... Andy McDowell.

She's the only one?

Yeah. Yeah, OK, she's the only one, but
she makes good films. Oh.

Are you there?

Yeah? It's Maya.

Maya?

Can I come in?

Okay, fine.

Yes, of course you can come in.

Dominic, are you doing the light switch?

Hello.

Boyfriend? No, no, he's an electrician.

Pour him a glass of wine.

What's going on?

I had an argument with Mum.

She did a few things.

What? What did she do?

Point is, I went down the list and bad
luck.

You're it.

Can I stay?

Can I?

You've got a spare room.

The crisis shouldn't be a difficult
question. Yes, yes, of course you can

You should be working now. Oh, thanks.

God's going to make a good family.

We all will, right?

All right.

You've got us a microwave.

All right.

Yeah, I was planning on getting ours
fixed, actually, but... No, yeah, it's

useful, in case.

The wire was cut on the inside of the
switch.

Really? Cut?

Yeah, like someone cut it deliberately.

Why would somebody do that?

I shall leave you to talk to your... My
niece. Niece.

How much do I owe you?

I'll call out £70.

Actually, don't worry about it. Maybe
phone me again if anything happens to

attention.

It's an old flat, and say that's
inevitable?

Jesus Christ!

Hiya. Sorry, but what are you doing?

My friends have gone into town because
we ran out of wine.

And I got bored, so I thought I'd go for
a swim in the lake.

But it was really cold.

And then I couldn't lock myself out.

But I thought I'd ask for a towel and
somewhere to stay and warm up until they

get back.

I was asleep, so... No, you weren't. You
were too quick to get up.

Nice drive.

Go on, then. As I said, it's cold.

Do you mind?

I need help.

Yes. Oh, sorry. Please, please, come in.

I'm sorry, by the way.

Right, good.

There's a robe in the bathroom down
there on the left.

Are you on your own?

My wife's a writer.

She booked it to work on her novel, but
in the end she wasn't available, so she

suggested I use it instead.

Is this your wife?

Sounds nice.

What do you do?

I'm an English teacher.

I love English, eh?

Word.

So, what are we going to do while we're
waiting?

Uh, well, there's a television. We
could, um, wait and watch.

Ah, come on.

We're on a holiday.

Let's hope to know each other.

You know there are apps.

You don't have to destroy the wiring in
your house to get men round and sleep

with them.

What happened with your mum?

Can't get through to her phone.

Stuff.

I called the ambulance.

She won't get in it, so she... The
police turned up as well, and she fought

She tried to run away through the door,
so in the end they sectioned her.

Sectioned?

Yeah, and they said that since you're my
next weekend, I have to come here.

They dropped me off.

Yeah, sectioned.

She was cutting herself.

God, no.

So they took her to A &E for her arms,
and then they're going to take her to

another hospital for mental... people.

There was a lot of blood.

They wrote it all down.

She's fine.

Better not to.

I think we'll leave it for tonight.

They'll make her safe and try and get
her to sleep.

Well, I'll see her in the morning, then.
No point in me going to make it worse.

I'll go by myself, then.

Yes, of course, she will.

Even today.

Tonight, fine.

Tonight?

Yes.

Tell me about your wife, then.

She's a writer.

Nice. Where'd you meet?

Uh, we... We went to the same school and
the same church as well.

What? Same school?

Yeah.

Wait, wait.

Are you two the only three people that
you've ever liked?

Yeah.

That is so weird.

Is that like a Christian thing or
something?

No, we're just really happy.

Really? You look a bit miserable to me.

Well, I do have a sense of humour.

Oh, you have?

Yeah. Where?

Ah, there you go.

So what about?

Um, what about you?

What about me, David?

Are you, you know, are you with anyone?

No, I'm not.

Oh, your, um, wife.

She was meant to be here, wasn't she?

What happened?

Did it break?

Split.

Oh.

Your friends are back.

I like you, David.

A bit forward, but... I do.

You're gonna break.

I'm gonna kiss you, David.

And you can stop me if you like, but...

No.

That wasn't, um... Can you not... Can
you go and tell your friends to turn it

down? Because it's late.

Come on, it's not that late. David,
David.

I don't have to go anywhere.

Oh, you do.

You do.

Have a nice life, yeah?

Born under a bad sign.

I've been down since I began to crawl.

If it wasn't for bad luck, I wouldn't
have no luck at all.

I tried you at home, but Harriet said
you were... You've been waiting.

Look, I need to speak to you about
yesterday.

Oh, look, Gail.

Forget it. It's just an accident. No,
after that. From when you first saw me,

you were looking at me in such an odd
way.

No. And those questions you were asking,
I didn't believe. What questions? About

what I used to do.

You had a thought about me.

My life, that I wasn't what you
expected.

No, Gayle. I want the truth.

That's why I'm here.

Well, it's... What?

Yes, a thought. Just my opinion. What?

Honestly, it's only my... Oh, tell me,
or I'll shout.

It's been going round in my head.

This is important, and I want you to
tell me. Otherwise, I might just, yes,

well, shout right here.

Come on.

Cale, he's awful to you.

Who? The way he treats you, everything
he's heard, mocking you. Who?

Your husband.

Going on so long, you probably can't see
it.

That's just not true.

All the time.

Really, you know there's a problem.
That's why this was bothering you.

You see us once, one lunch.

To make a judgment on my whole life,
it's quite insulting. Exactly. And you

do what you want.

I would never have said anything if you
hadn't asked me to be honest. We're

happy. We've had a hugely, very happy
marriage.

Please don't be shy.

Look, I'm sorry. I've got to go. Lots to
do.

Come this afternoon and watch.

Just watch.

Yes, I will.

See you later.

Text Liam.

You'll get this when you land, but
contraction's starting early. Can't

it. All under control.

All right, then.

New year, new group, new you.

Okay, what do you think? Shall we just
start at one end and go round and

Oh.

I didn't realize that you... This

is really weird.

Sorry.

Sorry. Syrah and I have... We've met.

Yeah. It's great to have you here.

It's good to have you all here.

Shall we just go around and introduce
ourselves?

I'm David Aston, lead owner of Nathan's
Literature. I'm your tutor, and you are?

Ricky.

I'm Alex.

I'm Billy.

I'm Luke.

Lily. Paula.

Richard. Hi, everyone.

You said English teacher?

Well, yeah, I do teach English. I
thought you were on holiday.

Yeah, who was?

Us this morning, came straight here.

Helping through wife.

Oh, yes.

I'm just off to meet her now.

Bit late.

Okay, well, I'll see you next week.
Yeah, absolutely.

See you then. Can I get your number?

Just in case I've got a question about a
call.

Please?

Okay. Um... So, getting there? Yes.

Please,

Saint, make it complete.

So what's the story guaranteed
accurately on TV?

How are you?

Maya did the right thing, calling me.
They can help you.

Did she mess with you?

Needs her mother.

She wouldn't go to school today.

You've thought it too, haven't you?

She's just like me.

Like I was at her age.

I hate myself, now I hate her too. Do
you know, you should stop saying things

like that.

Be positive. I have my bad days, but
I'm... Secret alcoholic.

You don't hate her. Be positive.

You don't understand mental illness.

I understand that resilience is a...
Resilience? I fucking hate resilience.

When did it stop being about making
things better instead?

It implies it's all on you to be
resilient when it should be on the

attacking you.

The shits and bastards and Tories and
men.

Did they say how long you'll have to
stay in here for? Well, I was cutting my

arm with a kitchen knife in front of my
daughter because I wanted her to see me

die.

See what she did to me?

So she's yours now.

Well, she can't stay at mine. She'll
have to. No, I never agreed to that.

your family.

I can't have someone in the flat.

You went away for years.

You've got problems worse than me.

Failed marriage, no real friends,
alcohol problems.

I helped you for a long time. Don't
ever... No, you've paid for things. That

different to help. Do you think I'd be
here if you'd actually done anything?

You should call her and tell her where
she's sleeping tonight.

Remember, slowly and clearly, try to
speak to people at the back of the room.

Have you written it down?

Well, make sure you keep your head up.

So, shall we?

So, traditionally, I have made the
speeches at our wedding, anniversaries,

This is because Gail is fifth. She has
nothing to say.

But this time, you are lucky.

She has been persuaded to say a few
words. But it doesn't come naturally, so

please be generous and welcome the love
of my life, who's very attractive,

but also now very old.

Um, hi.

Thanks for coming.

Um... Henry's right.

I don't do speeches as a rule.

But I thought, after 70 years, maybe
I'd... Not have many more chances.

Maybe I'd give it a go.

So... Yes,

so thank you to the Red Lion for the
food, which has been wonderful.

I'd also like to thank you all for
coming. You've done that.

I mean, our friends of so many years.

Of course, I would like to thank the
family.

Rachel, Jonathan, you have been the most
wonderful children

we could imagine.

A support to us and... Expensive.

The way you have found your way in the
world with your own loved ones.

It brings us such joy.

I am a very content mum.

And a very happy granny.

Sexy granny.

Oh, come on, it's your birthday.

Finally...

I'd like to talk about Henry. Oh, at
last.

Well, come on, this is the best bit.
Don't stop now.

Yes, well, now we're, as you say,

old, I suppose.

I have to say...

I

can't imagine what my life would have
been like without you.

To Henry.

No, no, that's not right.

The reason we're here, my beautiful,
kind,

amazing wife.

You're not old, my darling one, not at
all.

You've just got started.

To Gail.

Oh,

hi, yeah, it's Hannah Taylor.

Um, I'm calling to, uh...

Oh, hi.

Thanks for coming.

There's free drinks on the bar over
there. Thanks.

Happy birthday.

Oh, thank you.

Henry.

Where have you been?

I... Gee, our speech wasn't that bad.

Oh, call. Excuse me.

Open the door, yeah? The floor can't
reach.

So you need help right now. No! And no
one with a key is light anywhere around.

No!

Nice to see you too.

As you know, I'm not talking to your
wife, I think I say.

But unfortunately, you owe me 53 pounds
for your share of the painting at the

hallway. Ah, yeah.

Put a number of notes under your door
that leave no response.

Well, it's been a difficult few weeks.
Well, we all have issues, speaking of

which, I've got to imagine what problem
your wife has with me. But can you tell

her? She's dead.

I beg your pardon?

He died.

Five weeks ago, he was on an escalator,
and she fell a long way,

hit her head, and died.

So, no, actually, I can't tell her
anything.

Is this a joke?

Have you seen her recently?

I... I didn't... You didn't, well,
didn't notice,

right?

Don't, don't worry about money.

I'm sorry, I've been, I'm not...

Here, let me.

Let me.

Are you here? Hannah Taylor?

Yes, yes, yes.

In here. I need Hannah.

Hannah, are you all right? He's coming,
he's happening.

OK, just stay calm. I've got a problem
with my hip, and it's a bladder. I can't

have the baby here.

Don't worry, midwife's on her way. Andy,
I want Andy.

He's the dad.

Don't worry. We're going to make you as
comfortable as we can.

I want Andy to dance.

All right.

I assume you're Andy?

Right, well, the mother of your child is
about to give birth in her flat just

over there.

You want to go and lend a hand?

Yeah, but...

I've got two parents already.

You know, like, everything.

I'm just me.

I've read nothing, literally. No books.

I thought that maybe when I got back I'd
have enough time, but now it's

happening.

I feel like driving off in the other
direction.

Maybe it should be better off if I
don't.

Look, as I'm discovering today,

Sometimes life just happens. It arrives.

And you just have to deal with it.

Maybe you haven't read any books.

But I think you will learn a lot fast.
And in the end, you'll probably make a

wonderful father.

What do you think?

You're doing wonderfully, Hannah.

We've left a message with the dad. I'm
sure he's on his way. But right now, I

need you to focus on your breathing. Hi.

Shit.

You're here.

Are you dad?

Yeah. Wonderful. Come on, then.

What do I do?

Hold her hand or something.

What?

Can you tie my hair back? There's a
thing on the side.

Thank you.

Henry, I've been thinking.

What?

What's the matter?

I know what happened.

You met someone.

And now she's got your number.

It's not like that.

You know, don't you?

That's why you left suddenly.

My results from the scan.

Well, you said it was clear.

Had a good day?

Just come to get my stuff. I'm going.

Get out your way.

You probably hadn't eaten anything real
in a long time, though.

I thought I saw your mum.

She sends her love.

This is a good chance for her to
recover, get the time she needs, so

good.

And while she does, until she comes out,

you can stay here.

Stay here?

Just hold the pushy for a moment.

Okay?

You ready?

And now.

So much water.

So much water.

Yeah? I was not talking for a minute
yet. Why?

I'm not talking.

Good.

You ready?

And now, come on!

Did they tell you how long?

We need towels.

Boy or a girl?

Girl. Congratulations.

Yeah, right.

She's amazing.

One second.

You're all the trouble.

Anything else, just die. Thanks.

I got the text at the airport.

It's all fine.

She's good.

They're both good.

I think she's beautiful.

I was literally on the plane about to
take off and I got the message.

I tried to call back, but she's perfect.

Do we have a name?

I don't. I'm not actually... Evie.

Right?

Yeah.

How about you, Andy?

Evie's perfect.

Well, hello, Evie.

Andy, where are you going?

Big month.

At most, probably.

What's this?

Oh, nothing.

Would you like a cup of tea?

Sorry you didn't get to have sex with
that man.

Yes, me too.

Not to worry.

Maybe next time.
