Whoo!
Wasn´t that fantastic?

I´m sure you all agree our
dancers did really well tonight,

despite the sea
being a bit choppy.

Now, before you all leave,
where´s my mum and dad?

Linda and Micky?

Stand up.

It was their wedding
anniversary yesterday.

-Have you enjoyed the cruise?
-It´s been lovely!

- Bloody wonderful!
- Dad´s pissed.

Sorry. Only joking.

Well, happy anniversary
from me, from our Ruby...

and from the rest
of the entertainment team.

We´d like to wish you all a very
safe journey home tomorrow...

and hope you´ll join us again
on board the Aztec.

Good night!

Are you gonna drink that?

It´s too strong.

Oh, give it here.

Me mam used to sing in a band,
and all three of ´em

hitched down
to Greenham Common.

-Mm.
-She fought with the police.

And then they chained
themselves to the fence.

All right, Ryan!

Amazing.
So, what do you both do now?

Oh, not much.

I used to work in printing,
but I was made redundant.

So, this cruise
has been brilliant.

I know you´ve done
a special rate for us...

- Dad.
- No, it has to be said.

We could never have afforded it.

Huh. Not a balcony room anyway,
so, hey, cheers.

Well, happy anniversary
to the pair of you.

Ooh, ooh! I felt that.

It´s a bit choppy tonight,
isn´t it?

I think we better order.

Oh, damn.
I forgot me glasses.

I´ve left them in the cabin.

- Do you want me to go?
- No.

I know where they are.

I´ll be back in a minute.

He´s slaughtered.

When traveling ´round the ship,

please use handrails
at all times.

-Are you all right, sir?
-Yeah, yeah. I´m fine.

- Thanks, love.
- Please make sure

all balcony doors
are securely fastened.

Thank you.

He was a bit nervous of sailing,

and he got very tense

when we did the evacuation drill
on the first night.

I told him we did it every trip.

I-I don´t know
where he´s got to.

I´ll go check.

No.
It´s all right.

I´ll go.

I bet he´s just turned
wrong way again

when he came out of cabin.

I won´t be long.

Sometimes when I look at
photos of me mam back then,

I can´t believe
she´s the same person.

He wasn´t in the cabin,

but the balcony door
was wide open,

and the chair was on its side.

He´s not answering
his bloody phone.

-Shit!
-Oh, my God!

You don´t think something could
have happened to him, do you?

His cigarettes are on the floor.

- His glasses are still here.
- Oh, my God. Oh.

We should put a call out
for him.

I think we should
sound the alarm.

So, how do you know them?

Oh, we´re best friends,
all three of us.

We´ve known each other
for over 40 years.

Longer than I´ve been alive.

Aren´t you the lucky one.

But I´ve been so busy lately,
I haven´t had

a chance to see them to...

Aah! God!
What have you got it on?!

40 volts.
Same as last week.

I can turn it down a bit
if you want.

No.
I won´t get as good a lift.

I´ll get used to it.

Aaaahhh!

Hey, Taro!

Come on.
Morning.

Nice to see you.
Hello, love.

- Morning, Gail.
- Nice to see you. Hello.

Hello.
Good morning.

All right.
Hello. Hello.

Morning, Gail.
You all right?

Yeah, I´m fine.
It´s nice to see you.

-Is she all right now?
-Oh, much better.

Thank you.
Cheers.

Come on, love.

-What are you doing?
-Mam.

Tom.

Tom. Tom. Tom.

Oh.

So, what you gonna wear?

I can´t fit into anything.

I´ve piled on weight
on the cruise.

I´ll have to go back
to Weight Watchers.

Oh, damn and blast!

What?

Oh.

Oh!

Aah!

Oh, damn!

Bugger! Oh!

Oh.

- What happened?
- Oh!

I can´t remember
anything anymore!

I´m falling to bits.

I ache everywhere.
The house is a mess.

Oh!

I´ve got cat poo
on me dressing gown,

and now I´ve burned the buns.

It don´t matter.
We´ll make some more.

You´re supposed to shit
in the litter tray, Florence.

Right, so, you need to be
in this house

between 7:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m.

And if you´re not, or you tamper
with the tag or that box...

an alarm will go off,
and you´ll have me

or the police
knockin´ at your door.

Sign here.

Cheers.
Thanks for the tea, love.

There´s your trousers.

Linda was lead vocalist.

Me and Gail
were just really backing.

Where did you all meet?

Hall Lane youth club.

And this Micky -- He was Linda´s
husband, and it´s his funeral?

Not his funeral, no, because
they never found his body.

-He died at sea.
-Right. Right.

It´s really just a service
for him.

Ooh, ooh, ooh! They´re wet!

Can you get it for me?
Um, in the bag, yeah.

Quick, darling.
Otherwise, he´ll ring off.

Green button.

To my ear, yeah.
Thanks.

- Hi, there.
- It´s Louise.

Um, do you want
to put some money in

for Stacey´s birthday present?

God, why?
I don´t even like the woman.

Oh, go on, then.
£2.

And, uh, I thought
you should know --

She´s asked me
to forward your contact list

to the shared drive.

What?!

No way on God´s earth!
I´m coming in.

All right. Come on.
Get these foils out!

Both for you.

Oh.

How long do I have to leave
this tannin´ stuff on for?

A couple of hours,
and it should take.

And remember -- If anybody asks,

you´ve been selling time-share
in Thailand.

You know I´ve never been
to Thailand.

And I know sod all
about time-shares.

Well, make summat up.

You´ve told enough lies
in the past,

-you should know how to do it.
-Oh, thanks, Mam.

Well, I didn´t wanna tell people

you were servin´ 15 months
in Armley nick

for receiving stolen cars,
did I?

Oh, my God.

What is it?

Mam?

It´s my decree nisi.

It´s real.

Me and Dave are divorced.

Yeah, well, you´re better off
without that bastard.

You know,
any man who makes a mother

choose between her son and him
is a bloody loser.

He didn´t make me choose, and
you could´ve been nicer to him.

Hello?

Are you Ben Drayton´s father?

Yeah, I´m his dad.

You need to come and
collect your son. He has nits.

What do you want us
to do about it?

- If you could. Thank you.
- Right.

Seems like Ben´s got nits,

and they want us
to go pick him up from nursery.

Well, I can´t do it. I´ve got
this stuff all over me.

Well, I´ve got to get ready
for Micky´s service

-and sort your nanna out.
-After you´ve picked him up,

can you get some nit stuff
from the shop?

Thanks, Mam!

Town, please.

- Call Louise. Call Louise!
- The name, please.

Call Louise!

- Hello. Adorable.
- Oh!

Louise, it´s Sue.

Where is she?
Is she in John´s office?

I´m two minutes away.

Don´t let her
anywhere near my laptop.

Just say you don´t know
the password...

...and don´t tell her
that I´m coming in,

´cause I wanna see
her face when I...

Oh! Fuck!

Shit!

Um, gotta go, Louise.

See you in five.

Oh, you stupid bloody bitch!

Excuse me.
There is no need for that.

You can´t just stop
in the middle of a main road

- for no reason.
- Traffic lights, love!

You don´t have to stop
if there´s nobody crossing.

Have you got a license, love?!
Have you taken your test?!

Of course I´ve got
a driving license.

And will you
stop yelling at me?!

-I want your insurance details.
-And I want to see yours.

I wish you both
didn´t have to go back.

I´m already dreading
being on me own.

I´m gonna ring or text you
wherever we are...

even if we´re at sea.

-Oh, that you, Ryan?
-Yeah.

What happened at solicitor´s?

Do you remember takin´ out
a life insurance policy

three years ago
for £90,000 upon death?

Yeah, I think so.

Your dad did it when we sold
Grove Road and moved here.

At least that means
you can pay the house off.

Yeah, but...

the solicitor says
that if the inquest

decides Dad took his own life,

then you don´t get
the full amount.

-You only get what you paid in.
-What´s that?

-Which is how much?
-2,070 quid.

No, that can´t be right.

What about the mortgage?

You owe 93,000 grand.

Seems like you haven´t
paid anything off.

Yeah, we -- we definitely
paid summat off.

But then we went
onto interest only

when your dad
got made redundant.

Believe me,
you haven´t paid owt, Mam.

Look, I´ve just been through it
with solicitor.

He says he´s gonna send you
a letter to explain everything.

But if they decide it´s suicide,

then you´re gonna have
to sell the house.

But where will I live?

It´s just so great, guys.

Thank you so much.

-Can I just say something?
-No, you can´t.

It´s quite clear to me that
anyone who asks an innocent P.A.

to steal
a personal contact list...

-I didn´t ask her to steal.
-I´m speaking!

My personal contact list

that I have built up
over years and years

of hard work and networking,
gaining the trust,

-loyalty, and respect...
-Sorry, but you´ve got...

-It was John´s suggestion.
-"John´s suggestion"?

He said that all contacts
made to this company

belong to Adorable.

Oh, did he, now?

-I wouldn´t...
-Sue. Sue, you´ve...

But you´ve got...

Are you aware that Stacey,
the trainee,

has asked
for my personal contact list?

Will you keep your voice
down and close the door?

I asked you a question.

Sue, just, you´ve got
to try and understand

that our readership is down 30%.

Oh!

-Oh, I can hear violins playing.
-We´ve got to try...

My heart is breaking
all over again.

I´ve heard it all before, John.

I am not going to give a trainee
my personal contacts list!

Stacey is not a trainee.
She´s very bright,

She´s the average age
of our readership,

and she´s the only one who´s
brought in any new contracts

for the past three months.

Yes, because I´ve given her
all the leads.

I´ve introduced her

-to everybody.
-Nobody´s denying

how important you are.

That´s why I´d like
to offer you a consultancy.

What the hell
are you talking about?

You can work from home
a couple of hours a week.

How can I be features editor
doing a couple of hours?

I don´t know that I´ll need
a features editor anymore.

I´ve never heard anything
so ridiculous in all my life!

You´ve got a big birthday
coming up, haven´t you?

Yes. 10 days after
your very big birthday, John.

-It´s different for me.
-And why´s that?

Because I own the company!

-We started it, you and me.
-I know you think that.

I don´t think it.

I know it
because it´s the bloody truth.

I´ve been here
from the beginning.

Since Adorable was
the three of us in an office.

I think this consultancy role
would be

much less stressful for you,
Sue.

What are you talking about?
I´m not stressed!

Yes, you are! Look at you,
shouting and bawling!

This is making me stressed!

She is causing me stress!
Stacey Know-it-all.

Actually, Stacey is
very intimidated by you.

It´s her birthday today.
Did you bring her a card?

Are you gonna join us after
work at Gino´s to celebrate? No!

Because I´m at Micky´s service
in Leeds, and you know that.

You´re not a team player, Sue.

And you never look happy
these days.

That´s nothing to do
with my work.

That´s to do with you
and me and the situation.

Well, there´s nothing
I can do about that.

When --
When Mark finally leaves home...

Oh, here we go again!

Yes, like when Jason
went to university,

and we were going
to re-evaluate.

And what happened?
Nothing!

And when our son
went to university,

you were gonna pay him
a monthly allowance.

And you didn´t pay him
a penny piece!

I had to put him through
law school all by myself

-without any help from you!
-For God´s sake,

keep your voice down.

Do you think they don´t know?

Everybody knows you´re a shit,
John.

-Okay, okay. Fine.
-Everybody.

I´m a shit,
and everybody knows it.

But I have to think
what´s right for the company.

What do you mean,
"what´s right for the company"?

This -- This
"Second Time Around" feature.

Well, what´s wrong with it?

What´s right with it?!

Brides-to-be don´t want to
reading about second weddings

when they´re buying into

the whole
"marriage is forever" malarkey.

I know that.

They buy our magazine because
that´s the dream we sell.

I mean,
who is that woman anyway?

She looks like she´s pushing 50.

So?

She´s not even attractive.

I think she is.

You don´t think she´s attractive

because she looks
like she´s lived,

she´s got lines on her forehead,
she´s real.

The point is, she doesn´t
look like a bride.

Bridal mags are
a young person´s business.

That is utter crap,
and you know it!

I´m not going to argue with you.

You´re in one
of those moods yet again.

Look, go to your friend´s
funeral or whatever it is,

take a few days off, and
think about this consultancy.

-I´m doing you a favor.
-♪ Happy birthday to you ♪

Sue!

Can I just --
Can I just tell you?

-You´ve got --
-What?!

What have I got, Louise?!

You´ve got some concealer
under your eyes.

Door opening.

It´s dinging!

Yes, Mam.
I´m doing it.

Mm.

Oh.

He´s been scratching.

It´s just a prick and ding, but
it´s beef stew and dumplings.

You like that.

Right, we´ve got to go.

God, you´re always in a rush.
What about me tea?

You haven´t started
your dinner yet.

Our Tom´s home,
so he´ll be popping ´round

to see you tonight.

Oh, he´s no need to bother.

He ain´t visited me in ages.

-Not even on me birthday.
-I told you --

He´s been away, Mam.

He´d have visited you
if he was here.

He was trying to get
some money together.

Be my funeral next,

and I don´t want to go
in no furnace when I do.

I want a proper burial,
with headstone and flowers.

Yes, Mam.
You tell me every week.

Right, you´ve got you remote,
you´ve got your dinner,

and you´ve got your alarm,
so I´ll see you later, hey?

If I´m still here.

Come on, love.
Let´s go.

Oh.

- Oh, is it Gail?
- Oh, hiya.

I´m sorry.
I´m in a bit of a rush.

We´re a bit worried
about your mum.

She went to the Black Horse pub
last Thursday in her nightie.

Fortunately
the landlord rang us.

She seems to be getting
more and more confused,

and we don´t have the manpower
here to look after her properly.

So, what are you suggesting?

Come on, Ben.
Have some of that.

Good.

- Very good.
- All right?

Oh, hiya.

Well, I didn´t know
you were coming.

Yeah, Ryan rang and told me.

Bloody tragedy.

I, uh...

I got the decree nisi
through this morning.

Yeah, I got mine.

Didn´t have to end like this,
Gail.

All I wanted was to be
put first once in a while.

-I did put you first.
-You didn´t.

God, you gave
all the money we´d been saving

-for Las Vegas to your Tom.
-He needed a van.

He had no work, and he´s my son.

What was I supposed to do?

Anyway, he was
just borrowing the money.

-He was gonna pay me back.
-Oh, yeah. Right.

He could have bought
a van himself

out of all the money he made
from breakin´ stolen cars.

He didn´t know they were stolen.

Oh, yeah. Sure.

You´ve never liked him,
have you?

You never gave the lad a chance.

Look, everybody knows
he just takes you for a ride,

and you bail him out
time and time again.

Just look at him, swanning
around, laughing with his mate

while you´re left here
holding the baby.

People feel sorry for you, Gail.

Well, they´ve no need to bother,

´cause I´m proud of our Tom

trying to bring up his son
on his own

and if there´s any way
I can help him, I will,

and it´s nobody else´s business
but mine and Tom´s.

Uh, I heard you were
selling time-share in Thailand.

I thought the bottom had
fallen out of that market.

Yeah, yeah.
Well, that was the problem.

The, uh, bottom´s
fallen out of it,

so I decided it was time
to do one and come home.

-So, are you still a solicitor?
-Yeah, yeah.

I´ve been
at Fairburn and Lupton´s

for almost four years now.

I spent a year in Thailand
just after I qualified.

Where did you stay?

Oh, you know --
´round and about.

The, uh, middle bit, really.

I´ll just have to make sure
me mam´s all right.

Looks like her dickhead ex
is hasslin´ her.

It´s not been easy
the last couple years,

what with me hot flushes
and me mood swings.

And you could have put your arm
around me once in a while.

I tried,

but you always thought I was
hankering after summat else.

Mam!

Thought you were
doing two years.

-Dave!
-They let me out early

for good behavior.

So, where´s your girlfriend
today?

Haven´t got a girlfriend.

Couldn´t she get time
off school?

If you´re referring to Shelly,
she´s just a friend,

and she´s at further ed college,
not school.

They´re here.

- Let´s get in.
- Hello, love.

Hello, Ruby, darling.
I´m sorry.

-Are you all right?
-Auntie Gail.

-Yeah.
-Mwah.

Tom´s there. I´ll see you
in a bit, Mum, yeah?

Oh, I don´t know.

I think I´m still in shock.

If there´s anything I can do.

Oh, thanks, love.

It´s good your Ruby and Ryan
are here for you.

Yeah.

They´re still
on compassionate leave.

I couldn´t have
managed without ´em,

but they have to go back soon.

It´s a right bloody mess.
He owed money everywhere.

- Oh, shit.
- And me mam hadn´t a clue.

She´s hopeless without my dad.

I don´t know
how she´s gonna manage.

Now I´m back,
I can keep an eye on her.

She´s always got me mam.

We thought at least
insurance would cover mortgage,

but now we don´t even know
if that´s going to happen.

We´ve gotta wait for inquest,
and if it´s suicide,

then we´re up shit creek.

I just keep thinking,
"If he did take his own life,

he must have been
really desperate to do that."

And day
after their anniversary...

- Hey.
- Oh, hello, there.

- Let´s all go in.
- Let´s go in.

The minute Dave started
talking to me, that was it.

I started with me hot flush.

Yeah, I´m sorry about that.

I should have warned you
Dave was coming.

Our Ryan did all ringing ´round.

I´d have done me hair
if I´d known.

Do -- Do I look all right?

You look lovely,

but you´ve got a black trickle
running down your forehead.

-Oh, my God!
-Oh, give us it here.

Oh, my God.
Oh.

What is it?

I tried to cover me gray up
with mascara,

but it can´t have
been waterproof.

Did you invite Sue?

Yeah.
Ryan said he rung her mobile.

- Oh.
- Excuse me.

I didn´t know Micky very well,

but I know that Linda
sings in our choir,

and both her children,
Ryan and Ruby

were baptized in this church.

It´s always very difficult when
someone takes their own life.

We don´t even know
if it was suicide.

Should I say summat?

What drove him to it?

He might have.

Could we have done anything

to prevent it happening?

We surround them with our love

and pray
for understanding and peace.

We are gathered here
in their hour of need.

Oh.

I´m so sorry.

- Yes, yes.
- So sorry.

Come in.
You´re welcome.

Oh.

She always has
to make an entrance.

Yes, have a seat.

Didn´t think you were coming.

Everything that could possibly
go wrong this morning has done,

and then the bloody satnav
took me to Heckmondwike.

- This is Natalie.
- ...our lord

-and savior.
-Hello.

-Lovely to meet you, Natalie.
-If we now go to the next hymn

in our order of service.

I´m sorry I was late.

You wouldn´t believe what´s
happened to me this morning.

At least you got here.

I wouldn´t have missed it
for the world.

I think Micky would have
wanted us all here.

You look amazing.
I don´t know how you do it.

I look a mess.
I was rushing.

Oh, but it´s so lovely
to see you both.

The pair of you
look fabulous, too.

I´ve put on half a stone
on the cruise.

I feel like shit.
I got divorced today.

Sorry. Well...

anyway, this must be
your gorgeous little grandson.

- This is Ben.
- Ben.

- Hello.
- Hello.

What a little poppet.

You´ve grown
since I saw you last.

Would you like
a grown-up flower?

That´s for you.

Is Ben´s mother still in...

Rehab?
No, she´s out.

And with some other lad and
basically doesn´t want to know.

Unbelievable.

I bet you spoil him.

Don´t have the money
to spoil him.

I´m lucky if I have enough
to pay the bills.

Tell me about it.

Well, it´s so lovely to see you.

It´s been ages.

I kept trying to get us
all together,

but you were always so busy.

I sent you a text,
but you never got back to me.

It´s ridiculous.
It´s, um...

It´s just life´s been so hectic.

Thanks for coming.

- Mum.
- I´ll take Ben outside.

Yeah, I´ll come with you.

Is that your car?

Yes. We traded the Bimmer in
for the Merc.

It must be two years ago now.

Well, I think
you better move it.

I did have a little incident
on the way here.

Yes.

-Natalie´s nice.
-Mum.

I didn´t say a word.

It´s just lovely
to see you with someone.

-Oh.
-She´s very attractive.

I take it you didn´t see
the invite -- no flowers.

Well, everybody loves flowers.

I mean, I´ll just take them
to the house.

Linda will love them.

Is that all you´re gonna eat?

I don´t do wheat or dairy.
They make me bloat.

You look stick thin to me.

Spanx.

Debenhams or go online.

I decided after 50
I couldn´t hold it in anymore.

Haven´t you got
another birthday comin´ up?

Yes, Gail.
Thanks for that.

You´re still a baby
in comparison to me and Linda.

I´d rather not think about it
if you don´t mind.

-Aren´t you going to celebrate?
-No, I´m not!

I´m gonna book myself in for
a facelift and go into hiding.

But you look amazing.

I look like my mother.

I look in the mirror,

and I have absolutely no idea
who´s staring back at me.

What I need is a large G&T
and a cigarette.

-You don´t still smoke, do you?
-Don´t lecture me.

I´ve tried everything --
vapes, patches,

chewing gum, nasal sprays.

None of them work.

I have a lot of stress running
the magazine, meeting deadlines.

It´s the only thing
that does it for me.

I wish I had your life.

It sounds so exciting.

Look at you.
You´ve got a career.

I´m a lollipop lady.

You´ve got Tom, and you´ve
got that sweet little boy.

I wish I had a grandchild.
It must be lovely.

I keep waiting for Andrew
to tell me he´s getting hitched,

and I´d love to plan a wedding
for him.

Every time I mention it, he just
tells me to stop interfering.

I think he´s terrified
of commitment.

Does he ever see his father?

Good God, no.

Listen, I´m gonna get a drink
and a fag outside,

and I won´t be long.

-Hi, Gail.
-Hiya.

I´m thinking of having
a surprise party for Mum.

Really?

She just told me
she didn´t want a do.

It´s not really a do.

Just family
and a few close friends.

No cards with numbers on them.

-All right, love.
-I´ll keep you posted.

- Thanks.
- Are you okay?

I think so.

How you doin´?

I don´t know.

I keep looking ´round,
thinking someone´s missing.

Then I realize it´s Micky.

I thought the service
would make me feel better,

but I feel worse.

I just feel guilty,
like I really let him down.

No, you didn´t.
Don´t be daft.

Ladies and gentlemen,
family and friends,

if I could just have
your attention for one minute.

I´d like to thank you all
for coming along today.

I´ve been going through
a few of my dad´s things,

trying to deciding what to keep
and what to chuck out.

He´d been keeping himself busy
on a couple of projects

in his beloved shed.

So this one...

I think I´d like
to share with you.

♪ ...valley low enough ♪

I know
it´s your wedding day, Linda.

-Oh, my God!
-And you´ve followed everything

-in the "Perfect Marriage"...
-Oh, it´s me!

And it doesn´t say
anything in there

about the bridesmaids
making an ass of themselves.

But we thought
we would do it anyway.

"But we thought
we´d do it anyway"!

- There she is.
- Oh, look!

Do you remember your moves?

- No!
- I´ve seen it all now.

Which way are you going?

Oh, that one.
Remember that?

-Oh, I think it was yours.
-There´s Micky!

Oh, remember that one?

We were so young.

Can you remember it?

♪ Ain´t no valley... ♪

Oh, bless you, Mum.

- Ohh!
- ♪ Nothing can keep me ♪

♪ Keep me from you ♪

It gets better, as well.
It gets better.

Oh!
Look how gorgeous!

Doesn´t he look nice?

Wait for it.
There´s an exciting bit.

With me knees and everything...

Wait.
This is the bit.

Go on, Mum!

Hey, it´s me dad
when he were thin!

Oh, no!
No, he can´t!

- What´s the matter?
- Mum?

You all right?

It´s all right, that,
isn´t it?

It took me ages
to get all that together.

Do you know what´s going on?

Is she all right?
What´s going on?

-Tell me. What is this?
-My P.A.´s texting me.

He´s making Stacey Know-it-all
features editor.

- Who are you talking about?
- Nobody. Nothing.

She´s a trainee.

I thought you were
the features editor.

The bastard´s trying
to get rid of me.

He wants me to consult
a couple of hours a week.

Consult?
It´s your magazine.

A couple of hours a week
is good.

No, it isn´t. Not if she doesn´t
want to drop her hours.

She´s worked as hard as
he has to build the business up,

She deserves
to be treated better.

Absolutely.

He might be doing this for you.

I mean, none of us
are getting any younger.

You speak for yourself.

I do facial Pilates,
mindfulness,

and I take a million supplements
every day.

But you can´t keep going
at the same rate.

-You´ve got to slow down.
-I don´t want to slow down!

I know what this is.

I did an article

about second-time-around
marriages, and he hated it.

Did he actually say that to you?

It was a brilliant idea.

When I married Dave,
I had no idea what to wear.

I remember trailing ´round town
with not a clue in me head.

He said bridal mags
were a young person´s business

and there was no room
for middle-aged women.

- No way!
- He can´t say that.

-It´s against the law.
-Well, he did.

That´s exactly what he said.

I mean, I think he was
actually referring to the model,

but I got the distinct
impression he meant me.

-Do you want me to speak to him?
-God, no!

-I wouldn´t say who I was.
-No.

I don´t want you involved.
Oh, God.

Look, Linda, I´m sorry.

I´ll -- I´ll ring you.

Are you okay?

He does it to her every time.

I fucking hate the man!

She´s given up everything for
him and that bloody magazine.

-I think she always thought --
-I know what she thought.

She was obsessed with him.

You´ve no idea what she´s
sacrificed for that man.

She wouldn´t listen to anyone.

She thought he were
gonna leave his wife,

and that were
never gonna happen.

´Course it wasn´t, and now
he thinks he can just chuck her

on the rubbish heap?

Well, he´s not gonna
get away with it.

I´ll take the bastard to court.

You can´t do that, love.
He´s your dad.

No, he´s not my dad.

I never had a father.

You have to earn that title.

I don´t even know the man.

I wanted to ring you,
but the more I thought about it,

the more I realized
it weren´t fair.

Thanks for coming.

Look, I´ve got a kid,
and I owe people money.

I just wanted to go get myself
straightened out.

So you thought you´d bugger off
to Thailand instead.

I had to find out from your mam.

You never texted,
Facebook, nothing.

-I´m sorry.
-And all that stuff

about not telling anyone
we were seeing each other --

It was...

It was like
you were ashamed of me.

No, it wasn´t that.

I was just tryin´ to deal with
Corrine and get custody of Ben.

I have never been
ashamed of you.

Ruby.

Come here.

You have no idea how
much plastic surgery they have.

- Really?
- Yeah.

Stand by your beds.

I thought
you´d taken the day off.

I didn´t want to miss the party.

So, what are we all drinking?

-Oh, mojito.
-Stacey?

It´s all right.
I´ll get these.

Um...

What are you playing at?

I´m not playing at anything.
I´m doing what you asked.

I´m socializing with the staff.

Can I have another jug
of mojitos, please?

Of course.
I´ll bring it over.

Oh, cheers.

I told you to take
a couple of days off

-so you could think things over.
-Yeah. And I´ve thought.

And I don´t want a consultancy.

I´m very happy being features
editor, thank you very much.

Features editor
is not an option.

-Why not?
-Well, I...

Is this because of the
"Second Time Around" article?

Or is it because you´ve
already offered it to Stacey?

Oh, don´t be ridiculous.

Don´t lie to me, John.
This is me.

Do you remember us?
How we were?

Of course!
Yes, of course I do.

Look, I think you should go,
and we´ll talk about this later.

-Later when? Tonight?
-Right, so...

uh, if we´re staying,
shall we get some tapas?

Have a look through the menu.
We´ll order as many as you like.

-John? John?
-I´m told the sardines are nice.

Why can´t I be
features editor anymore?

I don´t want to discuss this
right now.

Well, I´m not leaving
until you do.

I have given 30 years
of my life to this company

because I believed in it
and I believed in you.

So I think you owe me
an explanation.

- A jug of mojito.
- Great. Thank you.

I have no hobbies,
no life outside of the company

apart from our son!

Why don´t you just
give the man a break?

It´s okay, Stacey.
I think, uh...

I think Sue´s a little
emotional because...

My God!
You two are screwing.

-Excuse me?!
-Ignore her.

That´s why you want me
out of the way,

and that´s
why you´ve promoted her.

Please. Sue, you´re
embarrassing yourself.

No, this is embarrassing myself.

No! Stop!

Oh! Oh!

I want your stuff
out of the flat tonight.

I think you´ll find
it´s my name on the lease.

And features editor
is no longer an option

because you´re not in touch
with our readers anymore.

You´re no longer relevant, Sue.

Susan, darling,
what a lovely surprise!

Mm!

How are you?
You look...

I´m fine.
I´m just...

It was Micky´s service today.

Gosh, you do look washed out.

Come through.

Look who´s come to see us,
Frank.

Huh?

Oh, well, well.
This is a rarity.

Hi, Frank.

Uh, come in, come in.
Sit down.

Uh, have you eaten?
Can we get you anything?

She´s been
to her friend´s memorial.

Remember? I told you.
Micky was Linda´s husband.

Oh, yes, yes.
Dreadful business. Poor girl.

They were in a pop group
together.

-Ah!
-Yeah, it wasn´t a pop group.

-We played at Greenham.
-Ah.

So, what have you been up to,
then, my dear?

Very busy.
Juggling things as usual.

I thought I might
take a little break.

-Mm.
-Good for you.

Anyway, never mind me.
What about you?

Oh, you know, the usual --

hospital visits, whist evenings.

All very boring.

Oh, your mother
does have one piece

of really rather nice news
to tell you.

Frank proposed to me
on my birthday.

How sweet.

I thought I ought to make
an honest woman out of her.

Are you sure
you won´t stay to supper?

We hardly ever see you.

No, I´ve gotta go now.

Are you angry
about something, darling?

Actually, Mother,
I´m really confused.

About what?

About why
you´re marrying that man.

He´s 10 years younger than you,

and it was bad enough
that you let him move in

without consulting
either me or your grandson.

But if you marry him
and anything happens to you,

he will inherit this house,

and it´s been in our family
for generations.

But Andrew doesn´t want
this house.

And you have your own life
and your own flat in York.

It isn´t my flat,
and, actually, I was thinking

about moving back in
for a couple of months,

but, clearly,
I wouldn´t be welcome

in your cozy little setup.

Of course you´d be welcome.

Don´t be silly.

Do you actually have sex
with him?

No, don´t answer that.

I don´t want to know.

Susan!

I´ve been robbed of
my inheritance, my career,

my flat...

...the man I have devoted
over 30 years of my life to,

the man I thought
I´d grow old with.

The man I love.

Yes, I still love him,
the bastard.

I made a fool of myself
in front of everyone.

And to top it all,
I have pranged my car,

and I´ve got nowhere to live.

Not a good day, then, love.

I´m really, really lonely.

I´ve got no one.

I´m in the wedding business,
and I´ve never been a bride.

It´s sad.

My mother´s been married.

She´s getting married again,
and she´s in her 80s.

It´s just not fair.

Do you want to get married?

Not really, no,
but it´d be nice to be asked.

I wouldn´t bother. It´s not
all it´s cracked up to be.

We hadn´t had sex in 10 months.

Why not?

I just didn´t feel attractive.

Lines on me face,
me skin, me hair.

My knee is killing me.

I just want to feel like
I used to feel.

I just want to feel
wanted, desired.

Like you were young again.

Yeah, like I´m alive.

I didn´t think for one minute

he´d go through
with the divorce.

And now it´s all over,
and it´s all my fault.

Maybe I´m just
a sex-starved, jealous, old bat.

Sex-starved and jealous maybe,
but not old!

Oh, we have to strike that word
from our vocabularies, girls.

Yeah, we´re valuable members
of society.

-Yeah, too right.
-The years we´ve spent

on this earth
have given us a profound wisdom.

Like never taking
a sleeping pill and a laxative

on the same night.

No, I-I won´t go there.

Anyway, it´s not all over.
Not yet.

You´ve still got six weeks
and a day before it´s final.

Really? Who says?

If you read your decree nisi
properly, it´ll tell you.

I remember this from helping
Andrew revise his law exams.

-Six weeks?
-And a day.

So if you don´t want it
to be all over,

you better do something.

I will.

I just don´t know what.

I just keep thinking
about Micky...

...and what my life´s
gonna be like.

Come on, love.

Try not to think about it.

Put it out of your mind.

-You´re not on your own.
-No, you´re not.

-We´re here for you.
-Yes.

Do you know...

You know something?
You two are my closest friends.

And I feel like
I´ve neglected you.

-Oh, you´ve been busy.
-Mm.

-No, that´s not good enough.
-Oh.

Come on, let´s not get maudlin.

To good friends.

-Good friends.
-Good friends.

Oh, bloody hell.

-Hey.
-Mwah.

Is there a Thomas Drayton
at this address?

What do you want him for?

Who is it?

He´s broken his curfew
bail conditions, love.

Shit!
Tom!

Tom!
Tom, where are you?

Tom!

Tom, where are you?
Tom!

-Tom.
-What do you...

Right, mate. You´ve broken
your bail conditions.

-What time is it?
-Get out!

-How could you be so stupid?
-I´m sorry. I just forgot.

I´m sorry.

You can´t just take him
away like that.

- He didn´t mean to do it.
- What the hell is going on?

It´s a misunderstanding.

Oh, love.

Darling?

I´m at Linda´s,
and I´m staying here.

So you don´t need
to worry about me.

I want you to come to the office
tomorrow afternoon.

I think we should bring
an age-discrimination action

-against John.
-What?

What?! No!
No, you can´t do that.

-Why not?
-I can´t let you do that.

You have to do it, Mum.

You owe it to every other woman

that´s ever been dumped on the
rubbish heap because of her age.

No, Andrew!
Andrew!

-Glad you´re all right.
-No, I can´t...

-I´ll ring you tomorrow.
-I can´t let you do that.

-Night, Mum.
-Andrew! No, wait.

Oh. Oh.

So, you´re going to bring
a court action

against your biological father?

My mother is.

Are you sure it´s about her
and not you?

Yeah.

Yeah, I´m sure.

And I´ve decided
that if it really is

all over between them...

...I´m gonna tell her about us.

I thought we could all go
to her birthday party

together as a family.

Mm, I didn´t know
which side you slept on.

Left.

I should warn you --
I snore sometimes,

particularly
if I´ve had a drink.

Did you ring Andrew?

Yes. He wants me to take John
to some kind of tribunal.

Well, he´d know best,
being a lawyer.

You might get some compensation.

But it´s not about the money,
Linda.

It´s about
everything I´ve worked for.

All the worrying,

sleepless nights.

The elation
when the job went well...

and him...

John, in the middle of it all.

I did it for him.

Who the hell´s that
at this time?

Oh, Florence!

Oh! Are you trying
to break me neck?

Hmm?

Linda Hutchinson?

Yeah.

-Who are you?
-My name´s Carole Hardcastle.

Micky was talking to me
on his mobile

when you pushed him overboard.
