Hello!

Whoever it is we're waiting for, it
better be bloody worth it.

There's a ton of paparazzi in the car
park.

Mr. Salmon!

Mr. Salmon!

Sorry, Daisy, but my mother had a bit of
a turn. It's a quite long night.

I think Titania's arriving.

I think perhaps Lord B's gone too far
this time.

Who are you playing?

Hermia. I thought you'd be playing the
pretty one.

Nice touch with the photographers.

Isn't it just?

Another nail in the venture of coffee.

She's fucking Christ.

Your mother's changed sides.

Hello, my Rose.

What are you doing? The board was
exceptional.

Well, I told you she would be.

An entirely authentic performer.

It's as if she's lived it all before.

Thank you for telling me to hire her.

I'd be lost without you, darling.

What are you doing?

Getting into bed. Sorry, Declan, I'm
back for work, not for you. You're

telling me I'm not welcome in my own
bed?

Anything else you want to take while
you're at it? I'm not taking anything

that wasn't already mine. It's my house
too, remember?

I decorated it.

I know.

I'm still paying the bills.

Morning, Mrs. Barriger.

Here you go.

Can you please not broadcast the fact
that I've forgotten my scripts?

Okay, well, I have to get back. I'm
waiting for the call from Carol.

The call back the publishers.

The bidding war on my book.

Where's the pen? What pen?

My parka, so I can make notes.

This is a rehearsal, Lizzie. I have to
make notes about my character arc. You

say you're a writer. Can you please
write things down if you can't remember

them? I don't know why Tony even asked
you to do Midsummer Night's Dream.

You're not an actor.

Tony asked me to do this because I am
the face of Carinium. I mean, Lizzie,

for once, could you please at least try
and be supportive of my career?

You can't feel sorry for being married
to that.

Methinks, mistress, you should have
little reason for that. And yet, to say

the truth... Ah, we're rehearsing.

Sorry, I forgot my notes.

Methinks, mistress.

You should have little reason for that.
And yet to say the truth.

Costume is saying nipples or... No
nipples.

Nipples.

Charles says nipples. It's like fucking
Piccadilly Circus in here. I know. I'm

sorry. Please continue.

Well, I've lost it now.

I'll try and find him.

I'm the most beautiful creature you ever
saw.

There he is.

Methinks, mistress, you should have
little reason for that. And yet, to say

the truth, reason and love keep
little... Sorry, Charles, but Andrew

needs the mattress.

For fuck's sake.

Please.

Brilliant.

Absolutely brilliant.

Sorry.

Sorry. Sorry, Charles. Sorry.

Actually, Charles, what do you think
about going a bit further with this

scene, sexually speaking?

Yes. I...

I think less is more, don't you,
Charles?

I think we imply, not do.

Okay, well, I'll leave this in your
capable hands, Charles.

But, um, just say the word, and I will
happily oblige.

Deirdre!

Excellent work, everyone.

Charles, you'll make sure I don't look
foolish up there, won't you?

Darling, you've never looked foolish a
day in your life.

I'm serious, Charles.

I'm not as... I'm not as young as I once
was.

My darling, your beauty is like a
Shakespearean sonnet, perfectly composed

and eternal.

But the big problem is, does anyone
really give a fuck about poetry?

It's not just about poetry, is it? It's
about power and fate.

Patriotism and love.

And sex.

But we wouldn't actually get to see any
sex.

No, but it'll be described by the
sexiest man in England.

You know, Maude Garnon Yates had an
unbridled passion unlike anything we've

ever seen before on television.
Describing all its lurid details.

Every kiss, every fuck, every tortured
moment of unrequited love.

Well, as long as you keep the tash and
you don't skimp on the sex, you've got

yourselves a Channel 4 commission.

How soon can you deliver?

I mean... Hello, Clara.

What are these reprobates trying to sell
you?

Not trying to fob you off at the Beeb's
sloppy seconds, are they? Well, I doubt

the Beeb could have handled what these
two are selling.

If you need a reference for Cameron, be
sure to let me know.

I'm terribly sorry, Tony, but we're all
booked up.

Oh, no, we aren't staying. No, I'm just
picking up Clara. We're going to the

White Elephant.

Have you booked your seats to see your
lovely wife in the show yet?

Not yet.

Oh, I'd hurry up if I were you. They're
going like hotcakes.

She's a great talent.

Surprised you didn't notice her when she
was under your nose this whole time.

Or was she generally on top?

Declan.

Nice to see you, Clara.

We send over a budget next week.

How is the boyfriend?

Is it fun being shacked up with a man
who has fucked everyone?

As they say, practice makes perfect.

Great doing business with you, Clara.

You were a silly boy letting those two
slip through your fingers.

Oh, I didn't let them go.

I pushed them out.

Shall we?

That was a deliberate ploy to sabotage
us. Didn't work, though, did it? We got

the fucking commission.

We did, didn't we?

Turns out we're a pretty good team.

Fucking A-team.

So, Tony's Shakespeare.

We should go. We need to go.

What? No, no, no, no. Where? You might.

No. We show Tony that we don't give a
shit about his petty tactics.

We're bigger than that.

What?

Gertrude. Gertrude!

Gertrude!

Gertrude!

Come. Good crop this year?

Yeah, tons of it. Just need to get it
all in before it rains.

Mummy's back.

Tony's hired her for a midsummer night's
dream.

Oh, Christ.

After all the mind mess, I don't imagine
Declan's very happy about that.

No, no, he's not.

I was horribly worried about Ventra
already.

Yeah, well, I should probably...
probably crack on.

Gertrude. Go on.

Gertrude, come.

Go on. Come.

Oh, Gertrude, just... I know.

I'm not doing that anymore.

I can't believe how well everything is
going.

This Shakespeare's gonna be such a hit.

I feel like we should celebrate.

Well done, you.

That was Archie. He says he's gonna pull
his sticky and wants me to come over

while his parents are at the play.

It's Mummy's big day.

I know.

But I really like him, Daggy.

Do you think she'd mind?

I'll cheer loudly enough for the both of
us. No, Mum!

Well, toward Doria the pleasure.

Um, funny thing really, I was, um... I
bumped into the Chief Whip,

who suggested that perhaps I should run
for your seat in the by-election.

Congratulations.

That's... That's wonderful.

You off? Yeah, I'm gonna head to the
priory first.

I think you should come. I think it'd be
good.

Show Tony how little effect he's had on
you. I would rather be eaten alive by

red ants than go through Shakespeare put
on by Tony.

We'd be together.

Sorry, no can do, I'm afraid.

I hope it's a categorical disaster.

Enjoy.

She leant against the gate.

Her thighs pricked red from the nettles.

Anger stepped towards her, his handful
of dock leaves.

He dragged them slowly up her leg and
under her skirt.

The wet sap of the leaf joining Cecily's
ecstasy.

Right, Fred, Fred, we're off.

I want to get there nice and early so we
can get a good seat.

Good idea, Marcy. You have a lovely
time.

I don't understand why I have to go if
Daddy doesn't have to. Because Daddy

doesn't want to give Tony Baddingham the
satisfaction.

Daddy is old enough to make his own bad
decisions.

Right, come on out.

Bye, Dad.

Bye, son.

I don't want anyone thinking that we're
not cultured. And remember, Fred Fred,

do not take off your trunks. I'm not
having whatever swims in and out the end

of your thingy floating up to the top.

I'm too old for another baby.

I don't think it works that way, my
love. I don't care.

Just don't do it.

Right, out.

Do you think he's expecting us, Tina?

Do it. I think you should only do it
with someone who really loves you.

And who you love.

I wish I waited for someone special.

I should probably give him a blowjob
there, shouldn't I? Oh, God.

How do you give a blowjob?

I thought you'd done everything.

No, I've hardly done anything.

Talia said that Toby's come tasted of
salty orange juice.

What if he thinks I'm shit? He doesn't
think you're shit. He really likes you.

What if he gets to know me and then
realises I'm shit? You're not shit.

You're amazing.

Just be you.

You're the best.

What the hell are you doing here?

Why aren't you with your mother?

Mommy doesn't want me to see you.

Please, can I come and live with you,
Daddy?

Please.

What time did you set off?

Before breakfast.

You must be famished.

I swapped one of my rosettes for a pack
of Tansy and Zopal fruits.

Aha.

Breakfast of champions.

Oh, come on, then. I'll be good. Let's
get you home.

This way.

Ready? One, two, three.

Do you want two?

I'm so sorry, Archie. I'm not sure I'm
ready.

Oh, I'm so sorry. Hey, don't be silly.

It's fine.

I'm in no rush. I love just hanging out
with you.

I've got barbarian, the ultimate
warrior.

If you want to play that.

Yeah.

What are you after?

Come to get my suit for the performance.

I didn't think you were coming.

If Tony wants to put on a show for me, I
am more than happy to watch.

Ah, you think he only hired me to piss
you off.

Your words, not mine.

God, can you not see how petty you're
being? Can you not see how naive you're

being?

Came to see you in a play, did he?

Of all the actresses in the world, it
was you who had to be his Titania. He

didn't know I was going to be playing
Nora.

He was blown away. He offered you a
slice of fame and you grabbed at it with

both hands like a hungry child.

He doesn't give two shits about whether
you're good or not. It works for him

either way.

Maude O'Hara, wife of rival Declan
O'Hara in Carinium smash hit. Declan O

'Hara's wife bombs in Carinium
production. I'm exposed regardless.

He's destroyed Rupert. Now he's coming
after me. You think Tony expects me to

fail? I don't think he cares.

Great.

Well, let's hope I prove both of you
wrong.

Now, if you wouldn't mind fucking off, I
would like to get ready in peace.

Ah. I remember that dress.

I was at a garden party with Malise when
the housekeeper called.

Where is she?

Um, she's still asleep.

Is it okay if we leave her a bit longer?
She was horribly tired, poor thing.

I suppose.

The place looks good.

I see Cameron has been allowed a vase.

Must have been quite the uphill battle.

Well, she's very persuasive.

Better at it than I was.

Well, I wouldn't say that.

After all, my drawing room is pink.

You know, Tabitha has been bullied.

No.

She didn't mention it. She had a fist
fight at Pony Club, defending your

honor.

That's my girl. When are you going to
learn that your actions have

consequences? I didn't know I was being
taped. It wasn't my fault. But you did

sleep with all those women. I didn't
know I was expected to live like a monk.

You do remember we're not married
anymore. No one expects you to be

celibate. I just think acting like an
okay guy would have been enough. I don't

have to answer to your strict moral
codes anymore, Ellen. But I still have

to answer to yours.

Do you know what the moms at school
think of me?

I am the slut that had a foursome with
Rupert Campbell Black and his friends.

Your behavior bleeds over the rest of
us.

Your life contaminates ours.

I have spoken with a lawyer.

I am seeking 100% custody.

Please, please don't.

Don't do this.

I'll die without them. You see them once
a month at best. You'll be fine. Well, I

won't let you take them.

Well, you won't have any choice.

I doubt you'll have much credibility in
court with your recent track record.

I am so sorry that your parents never
looked after you.

But I won't leave my children to the
same fate.

If you can't protect them, I will.

Now I would appreciate it if you went
and got Tabitha.

I saved the story for you.

Thank you, sweetheart.

Charles, Maude's in make-up.

But she doesn't seem quite right.

I've tried, I've tried talking to her,
but she's having a total meltdown.

Daisy, okay, I will handle it. Thank you
for letting me know.

She looks okay to you, doesn't she? If
by okay you mean deranged, as if she

could snap at any moment.

Jesus, just stop jabbing at me.

Someone's nervous.

That's good.

No, I shouldn't have come in. I have to
go home. What? I can't be here.

What are you talking about? You can't
leave. You're the lead.

I know why Tony hired me, and I will not
be used.

No, you're amazing.

You're wonderful.

Don't move.

I'll be right back.

Daisy? Yes, Charles? Doesn't that sort
of look like the sea?

Yes, it does.

Please, fetch Mrs. O'Hara a whiskey and
find Lord Battingham now. Okay. Thank

you.

Give me five minutes.

Five minutes.

Deep breaths, Maud.

In and out. You too, Dietrich.

Fifteen minutes until curtain call.
Wonderful to see you, Monica.

Yes, hello, Monica.

Thank you so much for coming. I wouldn't
miss it for the world.

Such a joy to combine culture and
community.

I couldn't agree more, Reverend Penny.

Quirinium really has gone above and
beyond.

Great to see you, Lady Gosling.

You too.

Surprising. You've come out en masse, it
seems.

No Freddy with you tonight?

No, he's not as much into the bard as I
am.

He's absolutely cuckoo about the new
swimming pool.

Honestly, I can't tear him away.

Makes my skin itch just being in the
Carinian building.

Take the higher ground.

Exactly. Can we swap?

I've already had two pints and I'm going
to need a piss.

Oh, yeah.

Apparently, the four men that mow have
their shirts off.

I fucking love Shakespeare.

Declan's in the audience.

He looks extremely uncomfortable.

Very good.

Not badding him. Not badding him.

Mrs. O'Hara is refusing to go on.

Okay, everyone out.

Oh, um, Emmy hasn't been finished yet.
Out!

Yeah, we'll just go. Okay.

I know why you hired me.

And I won't do it.

I won't be made a laughing stock.

All right, let's sit down. No.

Come on.

We'll have a talk.

The problem is, she's just not a
professional.

We're all here to do a job.

And, uh, as we actors always say, the
show must go on.

Isn't that right?

Excuse me.

I can't do it.

I can't remember my lines. I don't know
what I'm doing.

You're doing what you were born to do.
You could do this in your sleep.

Declan says you don't care if I'm any
good or not because either way, it

reflects badly on him.

Oh, Christ, what a terrible thing to say
to one's wife. There is no chance in

hell you'll be bad.

You're an entirely authentic performer,
Maud.

It's as if you've lived it all before.

So this isn't a ploy to get a Declan.

I'll admit that watching your husband
squirm is the cherry on top, but I'm a

businessman. I don't make bad decisions.

I hired you because you are bloody good
at what you do.

You were the best person for the job.

It's just flattering me. You're just
pandering to my ego.

No, I'm not.

I have no interest in producing anything
that isn't exceptional.

I don't fail.

Like, this is a disaster.

It's not gonna be a disaster.

It's gonna be brilliant.

If you don't trust yourself, trust me.

I am so confident in your performance.

I want you to come in and audition for
me for the lead in the next series of

Four Men Went to Moan.

She's the lady of the manor.

A rich, posh English bitch on heat.
She'll have all four men's hearts and

cocks in the palm of her hand.

That doesn't prove how confident I am in
you. I don't know what does The

ox has therefore stretched his yoke in
vain

The plowman lost his sweat and the green
corn hath rotted ere his youth attained

a beard the fold

stands empty in the drowned field, and
crows are fatted with the murine flock.

The nine men's morris is filled up with
mud. Utterly authentic. And the queen

mazes in the wanton green for lack of
treat are undistinguishable.

Isn't she judged?

Camera one, push in.

No man is now with him or Carol blessed.

Therefore the moon

The governance of blood's pale in her
anger washes all the air that rheumatic

diseases do abound.

What's this play about?

It's about the fragility of being in
love, how easy it can happen with the

wrong person, but how that same
haphazardness makes the triumph of true

love all the sweeter.

And thy fair virtue's force, perforce,
doth move me on the first view

to say, to swear.

I love thee.

Ladies and gentlemen, we will now have a
short intermission by the selection of

our special guests.

James, your

bottom was marvelous.

Would you like a club?

Give this to Emmy for me, will you?

Lizzie?

What are you doing here?

I'm so sorry. I know I shouldn't have.

Oh, you're reading my book.

I am.

Went to WH Smith's. There you were.

There was a bidding war on my new novel.
Well, the chapters I read about Lettie

and Ferdy. Yes.

They liked it so much, they've given me
a two-book deal.

Carol, my agent, is over the moon.

You know, I've made more money today
than I've earned in my entire life.

Just wanted to tell you first.

That's bloody brilliant.

You're bloody brilliant.

Like a warrior that fights and wins the
battle, I know the taste

of victory.

Though I went through some nights
consumed by the shadows, I was

crippled emotionally.

Somehow I made it through the heartache,
and as I did, I escaped.

Ladies and gentlemen, please take your
seats.

The performance is about to resume.

Probably got lost, poor lamb.

Well, the public must have its... And

cue curtain.

Okay, cue music.

I wonder if... I can't find James.

I've looked everywhere. He's not in
studio two.

He said he'd be there.

Jesus Christ, we can't carry on without
Bottom. What the hell are we going to

do?

Charles Maybe she's doing a poo

What a wonderful way to die.

Dad!

Dad?

You all right, my angel?

What are you doing up?

Mummy hates me.

Of course she don't hate you. She loves
you.

How did you get up?

I walked, cut straight across Frogsmoor
Field.

What, all that way?

Well, you should have called me. I would
have picked you up.

I did. It just rang and rang.

Mum thinks I look awful. She says I'm an
embarrassment.

You're beautiful, baby.

You know that mummy says silly things
sometimes.

She adores you, she'd kill for you, you
know that. Well, if she is right.

There was a boy I liked at the stables,
but he said I was weird.

Well, then he's not for you.

Not everyone fancies everyone.

Love can be cruel like that.

It's about chemistry and lucky timing.

I wish someone loved me the way you love
Mum.

It will, baby.

It will.

I won't tell Mum about your skinny
dipping.

It'll be our little secret, yeah?

Let's go and get some ice cream. Come.

Unkiss thy ears.

Monsieur Cobweb, good monsieur, get you
your weapons in your hand and kill

me a red-headed bumblebee on the top of
the stairs. You think it's James Verrick

playing bottom?

No, that's definitely Charles.

Do not fret yourself too much in the
action, monsieur.

And good monsieur, have a care the
honeybag breaks. What the fuck is going

on? I think he's rather good.

Your mum was ace.

Yes, she was, wasn't she?

So why do you look like someone just ate
your last roller? I thought the play was

a little depressing.

How is it depressing? It's all about
true love.

And a love potion that can make you
forget everything.

and fall in love with the wrong person.

Girl, you need a tequila and a cock in
your rope now. Come on, we're going into

town. I should probably wait for my
mate. Back off.

Life's short. We're never going to be
this hot again.

Come on.

Woo!

Well done, darling. Well done. You were
incredible.

Don't be silly. It was a tour de force.

Right. Well done, Charles.

Congrats, darling.

You're a much better bottom than James.

Don't cry, it went so well.

Mummy died this morning.

What? I got a call from the nursing home
to say that she died just before dawn.

Didn't think Tony would be too impressed
if I didn't come in.

A lot resting on today, you know.

I'm so sorry.

An orphan boy at 40.

Are you decent?

Oh, Gerald, did you tell him our news?

No, what news?

We set a date for the wedding.

March the 5th.

Oh.

Charles' mother died this morning.

Oh, Charles, I am sorry.

Poor her.

Poor you.

Enbit really is frightful.

Come on, Jerry. Let's let him dry his
eyes.

One doesn't want to appear tear-stained
in public.

We'll see you upstairs at the party.

Stiff drinks all round.

Doctor's orders.

Why, why, you are a lucky sod, Declan.
Maudie was superb.

A fine filly indeed.

Rarely was. A masterpiece.

Who the hell let Declan and his repubes
up here?

Mother Goose, apparently.

Oh, you really brought the bard alive
tonight, Tony.

The Scottish play is my favourite, but
this is proving a close second.

Yes, wasn't it good?

Well, I'm sorry my Fred Red couldn't be
here.

He's absolutely gaga about the new
swimming pool. Everything smells of

chlorine. Excuse me.

Lady Gosling.

Congratulations, Tony.

Yes, yes. It was honestly the kind of
thing I would have expected to see at

Stratford-upon-Avon. Well, of course,
it's exactly what we at the Ministry of

Culture are looking to promote.

I saw the announcement of your new
position, Mr. Stratton. Lovely news,

isn't it? We're so proud to be back in
government, aren't we, darling? Indeed.

Mrs. Thatcher's been so clever to
recognize Paul's talents.

Why, don't you think it makes sense to
invite Paul to join the board at

Carinium? Ah.

You're quite right.

Would you like to join, Paul?

Well, 1987 is turning into quite the
banner year.

Here's to hopefully topping it off with
a boy in December.

Yes,

I must just say hello to Lizzie.

What happened to James?

Oh, well, he wasn't that bad.

No, James didn't come on in the second
half. Nobody knows what happened to him.

Charles filled in.

Oh.

Perhaps you ought to go and look for
him.

And you might think about doweling off
your hair first.

Smell a little of chlorine.

Between you and me, I thought your
Titania at school was far more exciting.

That was a long time ago.

I remember.

Um, Daisy, isn't it? Ah.

Lovely to see you looking so well.

Oh, sorry.

You okay?

Yep.

You don't look okay.

It's just been a very long day.

James.

James, darling. It's me.

Oh, James!

What happened?

James.

James.

I think I knocked myself out. Oh,
darling.

Did they have to cancel the play?

No, darling. So sorry.

What, they did it without me? Yes.

I'm so sorry. Don't be silly. It's not
your fault.

You saved me like you always do.

Because you're a saint.

I don't deserve you.

All right, Kev? All right. Two shots and
a snake bite.

What do you want?

Uh, yeah, a shot too, please. Tequila.
Best love potion known to man.

How was the show, then?

Bunch of posh wankers prancing about.
Pretty decent rendition, to be honest.

Don't be jealous, Kev. One day your
prince will come.

One for each of us.

What are you doing sticking the music
up?

That one.

The blonde waitresses take their trays,
spin around, and they cross the floor.

They've got the moves.

You drop your drink, then they bring you
more. All the school kids so sick of

books. They like the punk and the metal
band. When the buzzer rings, they're

walking like an Egyptian.

All the kids in the marketplace say,

You were incredible.

Oh, you thought so, did you? How kind.
I'll get a drink. You know, it was just

like watching with the old days.

I want you to come to Ireland with me.

Imagine if you knew me and Yates.

It'd be our homecoming.

You want me to go with you?

To do what?

To be by my side. Oh, to be by your
side.

Because I thought we were done
supporting each other, Declan. I mean,

didn't you just come tonight to watch me
fail? No, I was angry. I shouldn't have

said what I said, all right?

You were amazing in there.

Please, love.

Please come with me. No!

I don't think so.

I don't want to sit around watching you
work.

Unfortunately, I'm going to be quite
busy because Tony... Tony wants me for

the new series of Four Men Went to Moe.

Are you joking?

No. Because he believes in me, even
though you clearly don't. That is not

true, and you know it. You've never done
anything to help my career.

All you've ever done is hold me back.

Let's talk about this at home.

The cast are going out for a drink.

I've booked a room at the Cotchester
Hilton, so... don't bother waiting up.

What's going

on

here? Is it someone's birthday?

I don't think so. Shelley and Taggy
kicked it all off.

Taggy?

Was here and here is a red balloon I
think of you

let it go

What? I'm heading off, Shelley.

Come on.

Oh, see you, Taki.

It's not like you to drink. Is
everything all right?

It's poor Bottom.

Everyone else falls in love and he just
goes back to being sad old Bottom.

I think I'm Bottom.

You are not Bottom.

I mean, you have a fabulous bottom, but
you're not Bottom.

Anyway, who's to say that Bottom doesn't
meet somebody wonderful the day after

the play?

There's always tomorrow, Teggy.

Where's mommy?

They had a fight.

She's staying in Codchester.

Well, then go and get her.

Just tell her you love her. Tell her
what she wants to hear.

Why are all men so bloody useless?

Hello. Hello.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, my gosh.

Gosh, yes.

Oh, sorry.

Um, was Sharon okay?

Yeah.

She didn't say anything.

I felt so guilty I said I'd buy her this
field and build her her own stables.

Which... Yes, we can't keep doing this.

Too many people will get hurt.

Yeah.

Gosh.

I suppose we're lucky we had it even for
an instant.

Goodbye, Freddy.

Goodbye, Lizzie.

Mother disappeared gradually from my
life and...

For that I am grateful.

I'm not sure I could have withstood her
disappearing all at once.

Who will I put the Christmas cards up
with now?

Who will I tell when I've got good news?

Bye, friends.

Thank you all so much.

I can't tell you how much this means to
me.

Look,

Declan. I know I've left you and Ventra
in an awful mess, but I'm gonna make it

up to you.

Lenta?

I told you you could do it.

Are we waiting for anyone?

No.

Just us.

Would you like me to read anything?

I was hoping, perhaps, we could
improvise.

Would you like me to do the English
accent?

Why not?

You know the first rule of improvisation
is you can't say no to anything.

Is that right?

Would you like to see me do anything in
particular?

There are lots of things I want to see
you do.

You know, I actually dreamt of doing
some things in front of you the other

night. Oh, really? What was that?

There's some very bad things.

I seem to remember it started something

like this.

And then, what was it?
