1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,960
My mother's a psychological
terrorist.

2
00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:04,960
My brother's in politics.
It's weird, isn't it?

3
00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:08,960
How can you think anything matters
after that?

4
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:11,960
He's pretty busy around this time of
year, with the Budget and all that.

5
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:15,960
Recently you've been quite
difficult. How much time off?

6
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:17,960
Just until after the funeral.

7
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:20,320
What are you up to next week?
What do you have in mind?

8
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:25,960
Just a couple of days ago,

9
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:28,960
he was boasting to me
that it was Fuck A Tory Week.

10
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:32,960
Still, from what I've heard,
you don't go home empty-handed.

11
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:42,960
ALARM BEEPS

12
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:53,800
What time is it?

13
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:54,960
Toast time.

14
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:03,960
It's half past five!

15
00:01:12,960 --> 00:01:14,960
You shouldn't just
open your door like

16
00:01:14,960 --> 00:01:16,960
that if you hear the smoke alarm.

17
00:01:16,960 --> 00:01:19,960
You should see if it's
hot first, you should feel it.

18
00:01:19,960 --> 00:01:22,960
You could have been
engulfed by a fireball.

19
00:01:22,960 --> 00:01:24,960
That's what's got you awake
at the crack of dawn -

20
00:01:24,960 --> 00:01:27,480
fire safety concerns?

21
00:01:28,960 --> 00:01:31,960
Work getting to you?

22
00:01:31,960 --> 00:01:35,960
Work?
Well, something's getting to you.

23
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,960
Scott?
Toast! Just toast!

24
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:54,160
Ashika Chandirimani.
Yes.

25
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:55,960
Vanessa Renfrew.

26
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,640
How would you like to become an MP?

27
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:10,960
Liver.

28
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:12,960
Badly diseased one.

29
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,960
Belongs to Terry Welles.
The Labour MP?

30
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:17,960
Courtesy of a party sympathiser

31
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:20,480
in the X-ray department at
St Winifred's.

32
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:21,960
That's his voting record.

33
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:25,960
Oh. There's lots of gaps.

34
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:27,960
And he's getting worse. Poor sod.

35
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,960
So, think by-election.

36
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:32,960
Think whether
you're still interested.

37
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:34,960
We're sounding out the A-list.

38
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:38,800
Well, I have been thinking more in
terms of the next General Election.

39
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,960
Media coverage per candidate
in a by-election

40
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:43,960
is out of all proportion to that.

41
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,480
Newsnight, national press...

42
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:48,960
Good shop window.
I'm gonna lose, then.

43
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:50,960
No such thing as a safe seat
right now.

44
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,320
Well, it's been Labour since...

45
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,960
1987, but it was ours before,
and will be again.

46
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:58,960
Just maybe not this time.

47
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:00,960
Well, at the very least,

48
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:02,960
it'll put you at the head
of the A-list for next time.

49
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:06,960
The party wants to be seen
to be changing.

50
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,960
Putting forward a Black woman!

51
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:14,960
Now, here, you can enlighten me.

52
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,960
Just who is Black nowadays?

53
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,960
I've some ideas about the Portman
Bright job if you've got a minute.

54
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:27,000
I've given that to Petra.
I want you on pro bono this week.

55
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,800
I don't need kid gloves.

56
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:31,960
Working for nothing
is good for the soul.

57
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:34,960
Besides, more important, there's
a big focus on charity clients

58
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:36,960
in this year's annual report.

59
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:43,960
Vienna Lurie, started while you were
away. She'll take you through it.

60
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:45,800
Er...?

61
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:49,000
Scott, we need you on this.
Make it look like we mean it.

62
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:54,960
This is bullshit. I've done weeks
of background on Portman Bright.

63
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:01,960
Sorry, I didn't mean to...
Looks like you've done a good job.

64
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,960
Shortlist of five.

65
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:06,000
Scott.

66
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:07,960
You surpass expectation.

67
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:09,960
I what?

68
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:11,960
A lot of times, people talk about
somebody

69
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:14,960
and then you meet them
and, like, "Mmm. Yeah, and...?"

70
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:18,960
Glad to know that, Vienna.
They said you liked a good time.

71
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:21,960
Right.

72
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:23,000
The same.

73
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:26,800
Same...?
I do too.

74
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:32,160
Heard about your friend.
Yeah.

75
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:35,960
Yeah, well, life goes on...
Yeah.

76
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:36,960
Drink after work?

77
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:42,960
Talk me through
what you've been doing.

78
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:44,960
You're kind of dipping
below expectations now.

79
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,960
We'll keep it monitored.

80
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:52,960
PHONE RINGS
Scott Foster's phone.

81
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:55,640
Hold on.

82
00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,960
Hold on a second. Sophie Montgomery.
Can you do early lunch?

83
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,800
He's...

84
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:05,960
She's gone.

85
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:12,960
You are going nowhere!

86
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:18,960
OK, I'm listening.

87
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,960
A Labour MP is dying.
There's gonna be a by-election.

88
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:28,960
They want to know
if I'll go forward for selection.

89
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:29,960
You're gonna be famous!

90
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:31,480
It's been Labour for 20 years.

91
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:34,960
A famous loser! Should I say yes?
Wait. Wait, wait, wait.

92
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,960
Pros and cons.

93
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:39,960
You mustn't tell James.
I might not do it.

94
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:43,320
I might not even get chosen, but
if I do, I'll probably lose, so...

95
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:45,960
I'm probably better off where I am.

96
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:47,960
Yes, true, actually.

97
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,000
Matt!
OK, well, suppose you win.

98
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:51,960
I fight a by-election.

99
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:55,480
And suppose you win?
I won't.

100
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,480
Suppose you do.
Then I'll be an MP.

101
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:00,320
Can you imagine?

102
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:01,960
Yes!
I won't win.

103
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:03,320
You might.

104
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:06,960
Can't.

105
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,800
It's all about James, isn't it?

106
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:11,960
What do you think he'll say?

107
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:24,960
Yo, Romeo! Just clearing
a little wrestling ring for us.

108
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:32,960
You may begin.

109
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:39,960
A chat?

110
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:43,960
I didn't pay �108 for a chat, Scott.

111
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:47,960
If I'd wanted to pay �108 for
a chat, I'd have gone to Toni and Guy.

112
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:51,000
Won't be needing those.

113
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:56,960
Let's be systematic.

114
00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:59,960
You're not ill?
No.

115
00:06:59,960 --> 00:07:02,960
You're sad about your friend.
What was his name? Jake? No.

116
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,640
I am, but...

117
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:07,960
Women trouble?
Alien concept.

118
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:10,960
How did it go with Ashika?

119
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:15,320
It didn't. You were there.

120
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,960
Well, then.
Well, then, what?

121
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:19,960
You're pining.

122
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,960
Am I? You thought it was in the bag
and she stood you up.

123
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:25,000
She was there, then she wasn't.
She stood you up!

124
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:28,960
You seem very happy about that.
Scott Foster, stood up.

125
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:31,480
Have you ever had that before?

126
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,960
You haven't! Aw, baby!

127
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:37,960
What, and she hasn't been in touch
since?

128
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:40,960
Let's chat about something else.
No explanation, no nothing?

129
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:42,960
That is class!

130
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:44,960
Well, no wonder you're hacked off.

131
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:47,160
I'm sorry, but you're just wrong.

132
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:50,960
You've been stood up and you're
all mopey. I woke up early.

133
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,000
Wilting.
No.

134
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:58,320
Robbed of your sparkle,
your joie de vivre. Your libido.

135
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:00,000
That is some girl!

136
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:05,320
That would be some girl, if she'd
managed any of that. Her loss.

137
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,960
And she's got you
hanging on a string.

138
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,960
Mm. Tell it to Toni and Guy.

139
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:20,480
SHE TYPES LOUDLY

140
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:37,960
How long does a keyboard last you
on average?

141
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:38,960
Translation: "I really hate

142
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:41,960
"that Kirsty's getting to write
Jo's speech this time

143
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:44,960
"just cos I fucked up last time."
I didn't fuck up.

144
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:47,320
"Just cos I made such a good job
of it last time." I didn't say that.

145
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:48,960
In any case, it's domestic violence.

146
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:51,960
We're hardly gonna get a man to
write it. Men can be victims too.

147
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:55,960
You want me to do a section on big
girls' blouses? That's the attitude.

148
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:57,960
A man hitting a woman is different
from a woman hitting a man.

149
00:08:57,960 --> 00:08:59,800
How?
Men deserve it.

150
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:00,960
It's not different.
It so is!

151
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:02,960
No. It's less common.
It's just as serious.

152
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:04,960
Ow!

153
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:07,480
Now hit me.
No! Christ, would you...?

154
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:08,960
Prove my point!

155
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:17,960
What is this?
Your dad's old constituency.

156
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:20,800
Longton South?
Terry Welles took it over, yeah?

157
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:22,160
When he died? You don't like him?

158
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:24,960
You could say that.
Any particular reason?

159
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,800
He's not a popular man
in our family.

160
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:29,960
He's about to shuffle,
only no-one's to know.

161
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:31,160
He's dying? I thought...

162
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:34,160
PM doesn't want by-election frenzy
with things as they are,

163
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:36,960
so they've been putting it about
that he's on the mend.

164
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:38,960
I can see that working -
up to a point!

165
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:42,960
I've volunteered you to write
his obituary for The Tribune.

166
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:45,960
Why me?
It was a favour for a favour.

167
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:47,960
I'm ghost-writing it for you!

168
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:49,960
Have the byline,
just so long as it's done.

169
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:51,000
It's all in there.
What?

170
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:52,960
PHONE RINGS

171
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:54,960

Hello?

Your mum's at reception.

Yeah. Good one.

00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:05,960
What?

175
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,000
If they'd said Evangeline Lilly
was here to see me,

176
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,480
I'd be less surprised.
Can you see her yet?

177
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:12,960
It's a wind-up.
I wouldn't do that.

178
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:15,960
I'm just curious. What does she do?

179
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:17,960
Journalist, features, Barbara Drake.

180
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:19,960
I'm going to get you back.
You won't.

181
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:21,960
Is that her?

182
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:25,960
What's wrong?
Scott.

183
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:26,960
What about him?

184
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:29,960
Something's happened to him.
Why else would she be here?

185
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:31,960
It's Scott.
He's been in a funny mood.

186
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:35,960
Is Scott OK?

187
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:38,960
Scott?
Just...

188
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:39,960
Something's wrong with him?

189
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:41,960
No, no.
You don't sound very sure.

190
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:44,960
I just thought maybe you'd come here
because... There is something wrong.

191
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:48,960
I just... Can we start again?
It's really nice to see you.

192
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:50,960
You're keeping something from me.

193
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:53,160
Hi.
Hi.

194
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:55,960
Oh, Dougie, this is Danny.

195
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:57,960
Danny, Dougie.
Very pleased to meet you.

196
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:00,960
Quite a place.
I'm going to phone him.

197
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:02,640
Mum, I'm sure he's fine.

198
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:04,960
You're equivocating.
Is he all right, or isn't he? Yes!

199
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:07,160
I'm gonna phone him.
His office said he was busy.

200
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:08,960
Was there something?

201
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:09,960
We were passing,

202
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,960
and Dougie's helping me with an
article we're working on,

203
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:14,960
and I want to have a look inside,
so...

204
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:15,960
I could show you round.

205
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:17,800
Another time.
Take ten minutes.

206
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:21,960
I just wouldn't be concentrating.
We'll put it in the diary.

207
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:23,960
I was just surprised to see you,
you've never...

208
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:27,160
Why don't I get you passes
and we can have a coffee and that?

209
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:30,960
Could you get us a cab?
We've got to be at the...

210
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:32,960
Dougie.

211
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:38,960
Good to meet you, Danny. Bye.
Bye.

212
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,960
Don't spare the expense, do they?

213
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:44,960
Especially for their own use.

214
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:46,960
Mum, there's something
you could help me with.

215
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:48,480
Call me.

216
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:51,800
Terry Welles.

217
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:55,960
I'm writing his biography.

218
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:57,960
Is he dying?
No, no.

219
00:11:57,960 --> 00:11:59,960
So what do you want from me?
Anecdotes.

220
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:02,960
Liked a drink.

221
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:08,960
I've whittled it down to three.
Good.

222
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:10,960
Save your energy for later.

223
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:12,960
Later what?
Later this evening.

224
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:16,960
You're very forward.
Is that bad?

225
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:23,960
I sound like a prig.
Prick?

226
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:25,960
Prig, sanctimonious.

227
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:28,960
A prude.
Good lunch?

228
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:31,960
Actually, I wasn't hungry.

229
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:33,960
Well, eat later.

230
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:36,960
That is a very good idea.

231
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:38,960
Who makes the cut, then?

232
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:40,960
Totnes Hospice.

233
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:42,960
Fast-tracked by Stephen.

234
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:43,960
Action For Bears,

235
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:48,320
these bears in China that are kept
captive for their bile. Nasty.

236
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:52,960
And Save The Oak Trees
that are in danger.

237
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:55,960
So... Vienna...

238
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:58,960
how to whittle it down to one?

239
00:12:58,960 --> 00:12:59,960
The choice is yours.

240
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:08,160
Trees are ten a penny.

241
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:16,960
Totnes Hospice - too gloomy,
all that spitting into kidney bowls.

242
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:18,960
Vivisection, then.
Hang in there, bears.

243
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:20,960
Clear the diary?
Absolutely.

244
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:26,960
Work late, get Chinese food,
cartons all over the desk.

245
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:29,960
I loosen my tie...

246
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:32,960
Some of your hair falls across
your face, you wipe it away

247
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:36,960
and look up at me in a pool
of light from the angle poise.

248
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:38,960
And we have sex
in the broom cupboard.

249
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:40,960
We've seen the same film.

250
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:43,480
I called the AFB to say
they're on the shortlist.

251
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:44,960
Their PR person can come in at four.

252
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:45,960
In the meantime,

253
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:48,960
could you clear anything too clanky
out the broom cupboard?

254
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:50,960
DOOR OPENS, CLOSES

255
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:54,960
So, what did Terry Welles do
that was so terrible?

256
00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:59,960
When my dad was dying, he told
Scott he hoped he died soon

257
00:13:59,960 --> 00:14:01,480
cos he wanted his job.

258
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:03,960
Jesus!
Yeah, nice guy.

259
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:04,960
How old was Scott?

260
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:06,960
12.

261
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:09,960
Jesus, Terry Welles said that?
Yeah.

262
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:16,960
Still cross with your mum?

263
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:19,960
Well, it went quite well
if you think about it.

264
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:24,960
She came in,
she understood that I had a job.

265
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:27,960
And went on and on about Scott.
Yeah, that was my fault.

266
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:30,640
How do you work that out?
I mentioned him.

267
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:35,960
Welles and my dad.
Miners' strike rally.

268
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:41,960
They look like friends.
Yeah...

269
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:46,480
Gotta go.
Vivisection man.

270
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:52,960
Good to meet you, Felix.

271
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:54,960
Can you save our bears?

272
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:56,000
Book them on the next boat
to freedom.

273
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,960
With me with them?
Eh?

274
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:00,960
Good result here,
I'm off to Greenpeace.

275
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:03,960
The bears can show you aboard
the Rainbow Warrior.

276
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:05,960
What can we do for you?
Right now, specifically?

277
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:09,640
Nice and simple. Parliamentary
delegation going to China next week.

278
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:11,960
We want to raise the issue
with the government there.

279
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:14,960
They're not keen?

280
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:18,960
Who knows?
We knock, but they don't open.

281
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:19,960
They won't even tell us who's going.

282
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:23,960
Well, let's see if we can
put the wheels in motion.

283
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:27,960
Just trying to think
who you remind me of.

284
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:31,960
Dennis.

285
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:34,160
Good, yeah. Yeah, me too.

286
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:38,800
Dennis, yeah.
There's a delegation going to China.

287
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:41,960
Could you get me the names?

288
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:45,000
OK, I'll hold.

289
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:51,960
See what they do to these bears.

290
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:04,960
George, sorry to interrupt.
James wanted you to sign these.

291
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:06,960
No problem. Excuse me, gentlemen.

292
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:11,640
Road haulage.

293
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:15,000
Back to civilisation.

294
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:18,960
May I?
Yeah.

295
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:22,960
George, you take an interest,
don't you...

296
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:25,480
in the list?

297
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:27,480
You mean, am I outraged and appalled

298
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:30,960
by the way the list is being
manipulated to mirror and perpetuate

299
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:32,960
the image of the new elite?

300
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:34,960
Then, yes,
I take a very close interest.

301
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:36,960
And you're aware that I'm on it?

302
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:40,800
Where do you stand - is that it?

303
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:42,960
The last time I looked,

304
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:46,960
you were gaining points
for being smart, on-message,

305
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:49,960
about as far from blue rinse
as it's possible to be.

306
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:52,640
Anything changed?
No.

307
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:56,960
You tick all the new Tory boxes,
Ashika.

308
00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:59,960
By rights, I should hate your guts.

309
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:03,960
Of course, it's horses for courses.

310
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:06,960
Some constituencies
won't have a woman as a candidate,

311
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:08,960
never mind a young woman.

312
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:12,960
Never mind a young woman
with Chandirimani as her surname.

313
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:15,960
And suppose I get a constituency
I'm unlikely to win?

314
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:18,960
Well, I got my arse kicked three
times, lost my deposit once.

315
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:20,960
Just whetted my appetite.

316
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:22,960
Doesn't it make you look
like a loser?

317
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:24,960
Guts, principles, sticking power.
Where's the loser?

318
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:30,960
Has James been trying
to talk you out of it?

319
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:32,960
Do you want me to have
a word with him?

320
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:35,960
No, no, no.
He hasn't said anything.

321
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:37,960
Ignorance is bliss.

322
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:46,960
PHONE RINGS

323
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:49,320
Scott, just wanted
to check you were...

324
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:50,960
CLANKING

325
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:53,000
Hello?

326
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:57,800
I can't wait to tell my boyfriend.

327
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:00,960
Boyfriend?

328
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:02,960
Her boyfriend, right?

329
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:05,960
Her boyfriend!

330
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:08,960
Danny, they arranged it.
Shag me and report back.

331
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:12,960
Comes right out with it
and presumes I'll be cool.

332
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:14,960
And for you, sex is a sacred act,

333
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:16,960
only undertaken
in a loving relationship.

334
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:19,960
It's not the sex, it's the cynicism.

335
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:21,960
Daniel.

336
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:28,960
And the presumption that I'll
be cool with it, or anyone would.

337
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:31,960
And we're talking about the bloody
bears, nothing matters except...

338
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:33,480
What bears?
It doesn't matter.

339
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:35,960
These bears, this pro bono thing
we're working on.

340
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:38,960
It's like...

341
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:42,960
It's like it all has
to take second place

342
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:45,960
to the more important consideration
of how to maximise my gratification.

343
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:47,160
This is her, right, not you?

344
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:51,960
I'm not saying I'm some bleeding
heart do-gooder,

345
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:52,960
but compared to her...

346
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:57,960
The other guy was no better,
the bear guy. It's all me, me, me.

347
00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:00,960
Do you think if a girl slaps you,
she fancies you?

348
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:02,960
She didn't slap me.
No, me.

349
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:04,960
You? No.

350
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:09,960
Terry Welles is dying.

351
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:12,640
What's that got to do with it?
I'm writing his obituary.

352
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:15,160
That's a great picture.

353
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:17,960
They really look like they know
what they're doing.

354
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:20,960
They did know what they were doing
in those days. Hmm.

355
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:28,000
Next thing will be, will I take her
boyfriend in the broom cupboard?

356
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:29,960
With the bear guy.

357
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:32,960
Mum came to see me.

358
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:35,960
Came to your work? She phoned me.

359
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:38,960
She wants me to book a dinner
or something for Wednesday.

360
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:41,960
What if I arranged the dinner
at Portcullis House?

361
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:43,960
I'll get Jo to happen past
and ask me something.

362
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:45,960
You trying to impress Mum
never works.

363
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:47,480
It works for you.
I am impressive.

364
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:50,480
What did she want?

365
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:52,960
Dropped in to say hello.

366
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:56,960
Maybe for once in your life,
you could big me up

367
00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:59,960
instead of sucking up
all the available affection.

368
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:04,640
I couldn't wait to get out
of that broom cupboard.

369
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:06,960
I was thinking,
"What the hell am I doing here?"

370
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:16,480
Ashika?

371
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:18,960
Take a picture of me, would you?

372
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:22,960
My wife says there should be
a new photo of me on the newsletter.

373
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:24,960
Don't ask me why.
She wanted me to go down there.

374
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:25,960
I said I'd do it myself.

375
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:26,960
Face or...?
About there.

376
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:28,960
You try to get something done,

377
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:31,960
and there's always some petty little
thing you end up faffing about with.

378
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:33,960
Makes you wonder
why you ever got into this job.

379
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:39,960
Why did you?
Saw which way the wind was blowing.

380
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:43,960
Just turn towards that light and...
head up a bit. Like this?

381
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:48,960
And did you have to stand many times
before you were elected?

382
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:50,640
Dropped straight
on the landing zone.

383
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:51,960
Passed my driving test
first time too.

384
00:20:57,960 --> 00:20:59,480
Don't know what you see in me.

385
00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:01,960
Upload it, would you,
and email it to Caroline?

386
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:04,960
It'll end up as a screensaver
or something if I try.

387
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:22,640
Oh, I was...

388
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:24,960
You're early.

389
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:26,960
How's the boyfriend?
Impressed.

390
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:30,480
He says principles are cool.

391
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:32,960
Are we bringing Felix in again?

392
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:36,960
We'll keep it in house now.
He had some good ideas, didn't he?

393
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:38,320
He didn't give a toss about bears.

394
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:40,960
Yeah, but you don't either, do you?
I don't.

395
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:45,960
It doesn't mean that we can't
do our best work. So...

396
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:49,960
We do our best work
when we don't care about the issue?

397
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:52,960
Well, that's the impression
that I... got.

398
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:57,960
You know, it's not like we're doing
your brother's job, though.

399
00:21:57,960 --> 00:21:59,960
He's a researcher.
He's in politics, though.

400
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:04,160
I mean, that is a matter of
conviction, but we're just paid.

401
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:06,960
Pro bono week.
Rules of engagement change.

402
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:09,960
Let's see what we can do
when we actually give a shit.

403
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:12,160
Terry Welles.

404
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:13,960
Party loyalist...

405
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:15,960
or solid Labour?

406
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:18,960
Solid sounds stodgy.

407
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:21,960
Loyalist sounds... ovine?

408
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:24,960
It's an obituary. It's not like
he's gonna actually read it.

409
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:27,960
Come on, Ian,
my mum will be there at 11.00

410
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:28,960
and then you can go to work.

411
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:31,480
Nappies on the kitchen table.

412
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:35,960
Oh, and can you tell her that
Clem will need his second... bottle?

413
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:41,960
KNOCKS

414
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:46,960
Everything OK?
No. Not OK.

415
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:49,800
Not OK at all.

416
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:53,320
The nanny's walked out,
and Ian's going spare.

417
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:54,960
Bloody knew she was a mistake.

418
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:56,960
Always on the phone
to her boyfriend.

419
00:22:56,960 --> 00:23:02,960
Turns out Clem bit her again and she
thinks I spend too much time here.

420
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:05,960
Everyone in my house
thinks I spend too much time here,

421
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:06,960
which is quite an irony,

422
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:09,960
considering everybody here thinks
I spend too much time at home.

423
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:12,160
Ah, now...
Can't win them all, eh?

424
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:15,960
Coffee?
Chance would be a fine thing.

425
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:20,960
This is the number for the agency
where I got the nanny from.

426
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:22,960
I'll need you on. Kirsty too.

427
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:25,960
Line me up replacements
by this evening.

428
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:27,160
OK.

429
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:30,480
Anything in particular
you're looking for?

430
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:32,960
I mean, like skills or whatever?

431
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:37,960
It's not a ministerial brief,
Kirsty.

432
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:40,160
"Good with children" will be fine.

433
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:45,960
A busy but loving mother.
And Clem's an adorable baby.

434
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:47,960
Really light duties.

435
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:50,960
Just a few hours of baby-sitting
while Jo's at the office.

436
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:54,320
Very gentle. And husband Ian's
always on hand to lend support.

437
00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:55,960
Ideal family, really.

438
00:23:55,960 --> 00:24:00,960
Plenty of time to explore
the excitements of London.

439
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:03,160
No? OK, thank you. Bye-bye.

440
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:06,960
Right.

441
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:12,480
What's the difference
between a man and a dog?

442
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:15,960
A man wears a suit,
a dog just pants.

443
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:17,960
Jo's friendly with Paul Gaughan,
right? That was a good joke.

444
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:20,960
Get her to introduce me as part of a
delegation to China. Come on.

445
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:22,960
China?

446
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:24,960
Whoa.

447
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:27,960
Jo's got cats, yeah?

448
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:30,480
Is that a cat?

449
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:32,160
She cares about animals.

450
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:33,960
You don't.

451
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:35,960
Wrong.
You don't.

452
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:41,960
I'm saying right now, I don't have
time to matchmake for you.

453
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:44,960
You may have noticed
we're trying to get a bill through.

454
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:46,960
Jo, I'm working for nothing.
I'm not playing games.

455
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:49,960
All bullshit aside,
I'm trying to do some good here.

456
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:54,960
Is he serious?
Are you?

457
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:57,960
I'm serious. Time someone was.

458
00:24:57,960 --> 00:24:58,960
Get out of here.

459
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:01,960
I'll let it out
that Terry Welles is dying.

460
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:05,960
Danny!

461
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:09,160
I told you about
Terry Welles in confidence.

462
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:11,960
All I want is a quick favour.
You're in a funny mood.

463
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:16,480
Maybe you should off for a weekend
somewhere. Beat drums in the woods.

464
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:21,960
Don't say anything. You'll get Jo
in big trouble with the party.

465
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:29,960
Big trouble with the party?
You should hear yourself.

466
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:44,960
Another disappearing act.

467
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:51,960
Maybe you needed some time
to work on your apology.

468
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:55,960
For what? For acting like a friend
and then treating me like shit.

469
00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:58,960
Well, took a page out of
your CV there, then, perhaps.

470
00:25:58,960 --> 00:25:59,960
Me?

471
00:25:59,960 --> 00:26:01,960
Yes. You.

472
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:05,960
You're the one who fucked off and
left me looking like a pillock,

473
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:07,960
thinking, "Oh, yeah,
she'll be back in a minute."

474
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:10,960
Changed my mind.

475
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:15,320
Don't worry, so did I.

476
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:16,960
Hostility.

477
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:28,640
Should have known what to expect
from a Tory.

478
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:30,960
Well, so happy to fulfil
your expectations.

479
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:32,960
If not your score card.

480
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:34,960
Terry Welles is dead.

481
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:40,960
'He took over the seat
from Frank Foster,

482
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:44,960
'who'd taken it from the Tories
in the general election of 1987.

483
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:47,960
Welles, who's been ill for some time
with liver disease,

484
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:49,960
'had once been tipped as future
Cabinet material.'

485
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:53,960
Into the fray.
Sorry?

486
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:54,960
We've got him on the run, now.

487
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:59,960
Good. We are the red blood cells
of the body politic.

488
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:04,960
Best job in the world, being an MP.
Even in the opposition.

489
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:30,960
I used to always know
what you were thinking.

490
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:31,960
No, you didn't.

491
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:34,960
A little brother studies
a big brother. Tell me about it.

492
00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:36,960
A big brother's like a puzzle
to a little brother

493
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:38,960
that he keeps working at
till he's cracked it.

494
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:43,640
Lately, though...

495
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:46,960
Interesting, Danny, but didn't
you have pasta to puzzle over?

496
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:51,960
You heard about Terry Welles?
Mm-hm.

497
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:54,320
You know the thing he said
to you when we were kids,

498
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:56,480
about hoping Dad died soon?

499
00:27:57,480 --> 00:27:58,640
He did say it, didn't he?

500
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:01,960
I don't know that he said it
in those words. You told me he did.

501
00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:03,960
He was thinking it.
You told me he'd said it.

502
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:05,320
Did I?
You know you did.

503
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:07,960
You did.

504
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:08,960
What was I, 12?
12.

505
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:10,960
And you were nine?
Yep.

506
00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:12,960
Well, you think a lot of things
when you're that age,

507
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:14,640
and most of them are bollocks.

508
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:16,960
Maybe he said it, maybe he didn't.

509
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:18,960
You're not going to put it
in the obit, are you?

510
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:19,960
No.
So?

511
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:24,960
Who slapped you?
Kirsty.

512
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:33,480
There's a division
in a couple of minutes.

513
00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:35,960
after that, maybe we could go
to Alastair Little's?

514
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:38,160
I've got something to finish.
And when it's finished?

515
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:39,960
I will be, too.

516
00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:44,960
How did I manage before I had you?

517
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:46,960
Nine to five, or five to nine.

518
00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:49,160
Both.

519
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:50,960
Either.

520
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:55,960
Everyone should have an Ashika.

521
00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:00,640
And what should Ashika have?
Just me.

522
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:04,800
And that's enough for Ashika?

523
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:07,160
Trust me. More than enough.

524
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:12,960
Don't work too late.
No.

525
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:17,960
I won't.

526
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:19,960
BELL RINGS

527
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:25,960
George?

528
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:28,960
Shame about Welles. Good speaker
when he could be bothered.

529
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:33,640
Enjoyed our sweaty tussle the other
day, Jo. How was it for you?

530
00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:36,640
Oh, it's you. Didn't hear you coming
in your Converses.

531
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:38,960
Just what Labour need right now,
then.

532
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:40,960
A by-election.
Hardly a marginal.

533
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:42,960
With things as they are,
given the right candidate...

534
00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:44,960
Are you still talking?

535
00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:47,960
You could be right,
about the right candidate.

536
00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:52,960
We all have to make sacrifices
for the party.

537
00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:59,960
So, have you given it any thought?

538
00:29:59,960 --> 00:30:01,960
Are you gonna put yourself forward?

539
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:03,960
I've thought about nothing else.

540
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:04,960
And?

541
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:08,960
We need a 10% swing.

542
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:10,960
9.72.

543
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:12,960
Capable of that?

544
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:16,000
I'd like to think I might be.

545
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:19,960
So you'll go forward?

546
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:23,960
I'll go forward.

547
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:26,160
Good girl!

548
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:34,640
I'll need to talk to James.
That a problem?

549
00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:36,960
Well, only for me.

550
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:39,960
And him.
Depending on the swing.

551
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:42,000
We'll make a date for you
to come in to see CCHQ,

552
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:44,960
and I'll fill you in on procedure.

553
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:47,960
If they do give the nod, it's not
going to be pretty, of course.

554
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:51,960
It's hardly Henley.

555
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:02,960
Two more amendments, apparently.
I'll be here all night.

556
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:05,960
I can remember when it was
our side had all the rebels.

557
00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:07,960
On Europe?
You were one of them, weren't you?

558
00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:11,640
Who wouldn't have rebelled
against that bloodless mummy's boy?

559
00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:15,960
What you were saying earlier,
about Ashika.

560
00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:17,960
Has she spoken to you?

561
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:19,960
Well, obviously, we've...

562
00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:21,800
Of course.

563
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:23,960
Could we perhaps compare notes
on...?

564
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:26,960
Fire away.

565
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:33,960
It looks like the dog
ate my homework on this one.

566
00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:38,960
I'd say you've been keeping
a cuckoo in the nest, sir.

567
00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:41,320
And she's about to take to the sky.

568
00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:57,960
MOBILE RINGS

569
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:07,160
I just had a call
from Terry Welles's daughter.

570
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:08,960
And?

571
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:11,960
And she was very angry.

572
00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:13,960
Why?

573
00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:16,800
She said her dad was only dead
cos of my dad,

574
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:19,960
and how did I have the gall to think
I could do justice to his life?

575
00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:22,960
Why is he dead cos of your dad?

576
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:28,960
According to her, my dad spent
the last week of his life

577
00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:32,640
pleading with Welles
to stand as his successor.

578
00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:34,960
He didn't want to, but he agreed.

579
00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:36,960
So?

580
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:38,960
So she says it's been
the death of him...

581
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:43,960
..her relationship with him,

582
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:45,960
his marriage...

583
00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:47,960
And his liver.

584
00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:49,000
Yeah.

585
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:53,960
Hmm. See?

586
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:57,960
I'd never have got that sort
of personal detail.

587
00:32:59,960 --> 00:33:00,960
Can we get back to the office?

588
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:04,000
I want you to read
what Kirsty has written.

589
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:07,960
If you got there at 3.30,
I'd have a good story for you.

590
00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:08,960
Animal cruelty,

591
00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:12,960
high-handed politicians,
governmental indifference.

592
00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:13,960
Someone might even throw a punch.

593
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:17,960
Me? No, No. I'm a pacifist.

594
00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:20,160
So, you'll be there?

595
00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:22,960
OK, deal.

596
00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:25,960
The BBC are going to film
the protest.

597
00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:27,000
See you there.

598
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:28,960
Can you get me the clipboard guys?

599
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:30,960
You know
you're supposed to get permission?

600
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:33,960
Your concern is touching.
Have you run it past Stephen?

601
00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:35,960
Have you?
I left him a message on his mobile.

602
00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:39,800
How long have you been here?
I just did not want him to think...

603
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:41,960
How long? A week.
You learn fast.

604
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:49,960
Prose not persuasive enough
the first time.

605
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:53,960
Some people have an infantile desire
to flout authority.

606
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:55,960
This will slap 'em back down.

607
00:33:57,960 --> 00:34:00,800
I'm not gonna hit you back,
by the way. I know that.

608
00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:02,960
Does that make me
a big girl's blouse?

609
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:04,960
It makes you a gentleman.

610
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:08,960
Maybe we should go out again.

611
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:09,960
Why?
Don't know.

612
00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:12,960
Get to know each other.
We can do that here.

613
00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:15,960
What are you suggesting? We're
getting to know each other now.

614
00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:16,960
Why do we have to go out and do it?

615
00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:18,960
Jaffa cakes.

616
00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:33,960
It's quite all right, Jo,
it's a pleasure (!)

617
00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:40,960
Mum, Danny.
We'll be meeting here at seven-ish.

618
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:45,960
I'll have to sit with my back to the
restaurant, or I'll get pestered.

619
00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:47,960
But the food's really good. OK?

620
00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:50,960
See you then. Bye.

621
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:53,960
Ooh, get you!
Want to come?

622
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:55,960
We've had all that.

623
00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:58,000
REPORTER: The delegation is due
to arrive here any minute now,

624
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:01,960
but these protesters, who've been
gathering for the past hour,

625
00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:05,960
are planning to give the minister
a very hot reception.

626
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:09,320
This is an issue, they believe,
which has to be highlighted,

627
00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:11,960
and although the delegation here
is to talk about trade,

628
00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:16,960
they want to raise this issue
of the treatment of bears in China.

629
00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:20,480
Here comes Mr Gaughan now.
Let's speak to him. Mr Gaughan?

630
00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:21,960
Fucking hell, Scott!

631
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:24,960
I said yesterday there was nothing
we could do for you.

632
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:27,160
Mr Gaughan, what will you be saying
to the Chinese

633
00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:28,960
about the treatment of bears?

634
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:30,960
They keep them in filthy cages
with open wounds

635
00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:33,000
and drain off the bile
with plastic tubing. Look.

636
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:36,960
If you came to my office when we got
back, I'd put something in writing.

637
00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:38,960
Much more effective to raise it
once you're over there.

638
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:41,960
You're not barging us into this.
You're representing our people

639
00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:43,960
and the British people
don't like this.

640
00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:46,960
Save the bears!
Save the bears!

641
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:48,960
Did you get anything?
Yeah, we did.

642
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:50,960
We'd like another interview with you
after he comes out.

643
00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:53,320
You're still gonna be around
for a while? Absolutely.

644
00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:56,320
And did your teacher say
that it was good?

645
00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:57,960
Did she?

646
00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:00,960
And are you going to bring it home
so we can see it?

647
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:04,960
Will you? Yes, I will.

648
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:09,960
And I kiss you right back.
Bye-bye. Bye.

649
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:17,480
Masterful.

650
00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:19,480
James, James.

651
00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:24,160
Alastair Little.
Maybe we could go tonight instead?

652
00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:25,960
Yeah, sure.

653
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:32,960
Don't trespass on the step.

654
00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:34,960
We are ready to come to us now
if you want.

655
00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:36,960
Ten seconds, Scott.

656
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:42,000
The delegation has been inside
the embassy for the past half-hour.

657
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:44,960
But the protest outside
is continuing.

658
00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:47,960
Let's speak to the protest
organiser, Scott Foster.

659
00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:50,960
Mr Foster, what exactly are you
saying happens to these bears?

660
00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:53,800
The bears are cut open
without anaesthetic,

661
00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:55,960
and then left caged
to suffer with open wounds.

662
00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:57,800
The Chinese government argue

663
00:36:57,800 --> 00:36:59,960
this is all in the interests
of medical research.

664
00:36:59,960 --> 00:37:01,960
In the interest of quack medicine.

665
00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:04,960
With an obit this good,
he should be glad he's dead.

666
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:06,960
The Tribune love it,
according to Jo.

667
00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:09,960
There's nothing in there about
him wishing your dad would die.

668
00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:12,960
I'm not sure including that would
have been the action of a gentleman.

669
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:15,960
Read my speech?

670
00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:22,960
"Female on male violence...

671
00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:25,960
"while far less prevalent,
and often met with ridicule,

672
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:27,960
"is an equally serious matter.

673
00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:30,640
"Policing and sentencing
must be seen to reflect this."

674
00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:32,960
Do you believe that?
Well, it's payback for the slap.

675
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:39,960
See now. Aren't we getting
to know which other?

676
00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:47,960
Stay there! Don't come near!
Don't cross.

677
00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:51,480
You're embarrassing yourself and us!
Are you embarrassed? I'm not.

678
00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:53,960
You should be embarrassed,
standing by, letting this happen.

679
00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:56,800
You're jeopardising the work
of this entire delegation

680
00:37:56,800 --> 00:37:59,800
on the strength of some unfounded
speculation about animal cruelty.

681
00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:02,960
Unfounded?! Have you seen this?
Where's the proof that that's China?

682
00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:04,960
You wanna see some proof.
Have a look at that.

683
00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:07,960
You are trespassing. For God's sake,
he invited me up here.

684
00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:09,960
I did nothing of the kind.

685
00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:14,640
There's no need for this.
You're playing into his hands.

686
00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:16,640
Mr Foster,
what's your reaction to all this?

687
00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:19,960
Perhaps you should ask Mr Gaughan
how he feels about all this.

688
00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:21,000
Good.

689
00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:24,960
You got a mention in Village Vermin!

690
00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:27,960
Ah, for me obit.
See for yourself.

691
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:32,960
"Hobnobbing
with notorious PFI pirate

692
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:34,960
"and asset-stripper
Douglas Ellington."

693
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:38,160
"Laughing and joking with him right
here in Portcullis House!"

694
00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:40,960
Bollocks! Douglas Ellington?

695
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:45,320
Douglas "Dougie" Ellington.

696
00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:46,960
Dougie?

697
00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:48,960
That was Douglas Ellington? No!

698
00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:52,480
No, why the fuck didn't she say so?

699
00:39:03,160 --> 00:39:05,480
You made us look
like animal rights terrorists.

700
00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:06,960
You win.

701
00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:09,960
You're off pro bono.

702
00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:11,960
I have seen some escape plans
in my time,

703
00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:13,960
but this one takes the biscuit.

704
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:16,960
I'm not trying to get out of it.
What a pro. Still in character.

705
00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:20,960
Felix, I'll put someone else
on the case.

706
00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:23,960
Vienna, I'm on the case.
There's no problem with that.

707
00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:26,000
This will go down in company legend.

708
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:27,960
Locked up!

709
00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:39,960
I ought to fucking punch you.

710
00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:41,960
Try it.

711
00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:43,960
Change of plan. Caroline's coming.

712
00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:45,960
I have to be at King's Cross
at 9.30. Sorry.

713
00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:47,960
James?

714
00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:52,960
Why don't we get a quick bite here?

715
00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:54,800
It'll have to be right away.

716
00:40:02,960 --> 00:40:04,960
Are you writing an article on him?

717
00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:06,960
He's got a name.
Well, she didn't tell me.

718
00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:10,320
Don't be too hard on her, big guy.

719
00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:13,960
Don't tell me how hard I can be
on her. That's between me and her.

720
00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:15,320
Your mother's a little nervous.

721
00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:18,960
I don't need him to intermediate
between me and you.

722
00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:22,480
Intermediate's not a word.
A bottle of your best Champagne.

723
00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:24,960
How much does that cost?

724
00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:27,160
I'm not asking you
to pay for it, Danny.

725
00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:29,960
Scott! At last.

726
00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:35,960
Scott, this is Dougie.
I'm very pleased to meet you.

727
00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:38,960
Douglas "Dougie" Ellington.
Don't start, Danny.

728
00:40:39,960 --> 00:40:44,960
I'm really pleased you made it.
You look a bit...

729
00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:47,640
I got arrested.
Oh, my poor baby!

730
00:40:47,640 --> 00:40:48,960
What for?

731
00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:50,960
I'll stick with water, thank you.

732
00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:54,960
For God's sake, Danny.
Just this once, don't sulk.

733
00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:57,000
Sorry the time's a bit squeezed.

734
00:40:57,000 --> 00:41:00,640
You don't mind eating here, do you?
In full view. It's fine.

735
00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:05,320
Quite natural, an MP and his
loyal spad having dinner together.

736
00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:08,000
Discussing their plans, talking
through the nitty-gritty... James!

737
00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:15,960
You know.
What do I know?

738
00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:17,960
What I was gonna tell you.

739
00:41:17,960 --> 00:41:19,960
That depends on what you were gonna
tell me.

740
00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:21,960
Don't... play games.

741
00:41:23,960 --> 00:41:25,960
Are you standing in Longton South?

742
00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:28,960
They want me to go for selection.

743
00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:30,320
And you said?
I've said yes.

744
00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:31,960
Oh.
Yeah.

745
00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:36,960
Ashika, you've got far more clout
working for me

746
00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:38,960
than as a backbencher.

747
00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:41,800
I know.
And I thought you were so clued up.

748
00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:47,960
Have I misjudged you?
I probably won't even get selected.

749
00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:50,480
Even if I do, it's been Labour for
years. Then I'm even more baffled.

750
00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:55,800
Well, anyway, good luck to you.

751
00:41:56,960 --> 00:41:59,960
Who am I gonna replace you with?
Don't do this.

752
00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:04,800
That researcher from Central Office
that was so helpful with the HGV.

753
00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:07,480
The one that looked like
Uma Thurman. What about her?

754
00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:09,960
You did know, didn't you?

755
00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:14,960
And then there's us.

756
00:42:15,960 --> 00:42:18,320
What it's gonna mean for us,
I wonder.

757
00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:24,480
Have some Champagne, Danny.

758
00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:27,960
I'm fine. Have some sodding
Champagne and enjoy it.

759
00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:29,960
Mother!

760
00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:37,960
I got you a present.
What?

761
00:42:37,960 --> 00:42:38,960
It's a photograph.

762
00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:41,480
Oh!

763
00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:44,960
It's Dad and Terry Welles.

764
00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:47,000
Oh, Danny, for God's sake!

765
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:49,160
He didn't say that thing.
Hey, Scott, tell her.

766
00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:52,960
If you look at the photo,
they're friends.

767
00:42:52,960 --> 00:42:55,960
Danny, you have always had
the unerring knack

768
00:42:55,960 --> 00:42:58,160
of making a bollocks of everything!

769
00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:05,960
We're getting married, OK?

770
00:43:05,960 --> 00:43:08,960
Photographs of your dad,
just this minute, not ideal.

771
00:43:10,480 --> 00:43:12,320
Thank you.

772
00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:15,960
That's why we arranged this dinner.
Cheers, everybody.

773
00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:17,960
Married? To him?

774
00:43:17,960 --> 00:43:20,960
Oh, sit down.
No!

775
00:43:20,960 --> 00:43:23,960
I feel like I don't know any of you.

776
00:43:23,960 --> 00:43:25,960
It's quite simple, Danny.

777
00:43:25,960 --> 00:43:28,960
I'm in love for the first time
since your father died.

778
00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:31,000
You know
when the real thing hits you.

779
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:35,960
Scott? Scott!
Scott!

780
00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:38,960
Oh, leave him.

781
00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:40,960
Danny?

782
00:43:40,960 --> 00:43:44,800
Danny... please.

783
00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:48,000
Thank you.

784
00:43:52,960 --> 00:43:54,960
Congratulations.

785
00:43:54,960 --> 00:43:55,960
Thank you.

786
00:43:55,960 --> 00:43:59,480
I'll make your mother happy, Danny.
I promise I will.

787
00:44:00,960 --> 00:44:05,960
Congratulations to you too.
The obituary. Did a good job.

788
00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:15,800
Ashika.

789
00:44:25,960 --> 00:44:27,960
Never go to a party on a boat.

790
00:44:29,640 --> 00:44:30,960
No?

791
00:44:32,160 --> 00:44:34,960
Can't get off if you don't like it.

792
00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:36,480
Better never to get on.

793
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:41,960
It's quite a scene
we put on for you in there.

794
00:44:41,960 --> 00:44:43,960
See what you passed up on now?

795
00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:48,960
You look like you've had
a bit of a rough day.

796
00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:50,960
Actually, it's been
a bit of a rough week.

797
00:44:54,960 --> 00:44:56,960
I've upset the boss.

798
00:44:57,960 --> 00:45:00,960
The party want me to stand
for selection in the by-election.

799
00:45:01,960 --> 00:45:03,960
And your boss doesn't want you to?

800
00:45:04,960 --> 00:45:08,960
Well, everything he says is right.
I'm much better placed with him.

801
00:45:08,960 --> 00:45:11,960
He's Cabinet material.
I'd be right in there with him.

802
00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:14,960
But you want to be in charge
of your own life?

803
00:45:14,960 --> 00:45:15,960
Yeah.

804
00:45:19,960 --> 00:45:21,960
Yeah.

805
00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:24,960
Hmm.
I'd better go.

806
00:45:31,960 --> 00:45:34,960
Cab. Right.
Two secs, please.

807
00:45:39,960 --> 00:45:41,960
So, do I have your permission?

808
00:45:41,960 --> 00:45:42,960
Me?

809
00:45:42,960 --> 00:45:45,960
Yeah, well,
it's your dad's old constituency.

810
00:45:45,960 --> 00:45:48,960
Yeah, you have my permission.

811
00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:02,960
I've been thinking about you.

812
00:46:03,960 --> 00:46:06,640
I've been thinking about you!

813
00:46:10,960 --> 00:46:17,320

And shining dragons, I do

814
00:46:17,320 --> 00:46:21,480


815
00:46:21,480 --> 00:46:25,960


816
00:46:25,960 --> 00:46:31,000

And shining dragons, I do

817
00:46:32,960 --> 00:46:36,160


818
00:46:36,160 --> 00:46:41,960


819
00:46:41,960 --> 00:46:45,960


820
00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:49,160


821
00:46:49,160 --> 00:46:53,160


822
00:46:53,160 --> 00:46:56,960

I don't think you care.
