Heartbeat, why do you miss when my baby kisses me?

Heartbeat, why doesn't love a kiss be in my memory?

Let's have a wobbler and get me to the church on time.

Pleasant place.

That's very kind of you, Claude.

Let's have a look, then.

There we go.

Andy, Claude, where did you get these?

Turned with certain car mobile, a look of it. Never mind, it was a very special

brew, that carrot and rhubarb. Well, thank you very much, Claude. Have you

any glasses, do you? No, I'm really white.

Well, let's have a taste, then.

You're steady with it, Billy.

It's vintage stuff, is that it? Yeah, well, this is a vintage occasion.

Last night of freedom, Nick. Live dangerously, mate. Oh, a very small one

me, Nick. I promise, Mrs Ventress, I'll be careful.

You're very wise, Alf.

You know what a devil you are at stag night. Last one he went to, he got so

drunk, he ended up in a cell. Do you remember?

That was a long time ago.

That's how I got the responsibilities.

I've got Mrs Ventress's cape to think about. Well, that's nothing. I've got a

blooming speech to make.

I'll have one.

Hey, hey, you don't want any of that, do you?

Well, it's a bit potent, that's why. You've got some driving to do, haven't

Let's face it, half a shanty and you're anybody's. Buy a swallow then.

I'm going to keep my big mouth shut.

Aye, everybody.

To the happy groom!

It's far too late.

Can't we do it in the morning?

No!

This is not a good idea.

Grandad!

No, you've got to trust me.

What

is

he doing? Well, I'm not much of a gardener myself, but I understand you

that into a fountain.

Something's out of moral health. The blade of a small electric pump.

The round table's along there.

The cake table there.

And the drink table here, so we can keep an eye on things.

Well, I gather Nick's family's a bit, you know... A bit what?

I don't want things getting out of hand, dear, that's all.

Excuse me, madam.

She's doing her best.

And making sure I know just how much she disapproves. Come on. Well, isn't she?

I'm sorry, Dad. Pre -wedding nerves. I know she means well.

I wouldn't have chosen to do it this way.

I know.

If your mother had been alive, we'd have had it at home in York.

I like it being in Aidensfield, Dad.

I love the hotel. It's all beautiful.

Honestly.

Come and have a drink, then.

Eels? Yeah, jellied eels.

Oh!

Straight up from London. Oh, no.

No.

It's very kind of you, Mr Rowan, but I really don't think so. Well, I brought

them up special.

They wouldn't go with the rest of my menu, you see.

I'm sorry. I'm afraid you'll have to take them away.

Look, lady, Nick is my grandson.

Come on, Grandad. He's my grandson and a good East End boy, same as what I am.

And he'll be expecting him, see, and as far as I'm concerned, it ain't a proper

wedding without him.

Grandad!

Sorry, I told him not to bring him, but he would insist.

Look at the old cow.

Don't be late.

Remember, you're driving the Bentley to wear a collar and tie.

With a bit of luck, I might remember to put a pair of trousers on and all.

Claude, about your wine, I was wondering... Place an

order.

You want the place an order?

I'd like Mrs Ventress to try some.

Ventress, I'm taking you home. Come on.

Hey, hold on, Sarge. I'm just trying to carry out a bit of business.

This is Nick's car.

Ty, please!

Everybody out! You heard what the lady said?

Come on, Vince, it's in my car now. You too, Bill. I mean, you're not driving in

that state.

And Nick, I'd go home if I were you and get some sleep.

Yes, you won't be getting any tomorrow night.

Ladies and gentlemen, I've got a bargain here for you.

In these buckets.

You're not driving anywhere tonight, either of you.

Hi, Bellamy. In the back seat. You can pick your car up in the morning.

I have got things to do.

I have got to do a speech.

Inside? No.

Pinterest, where are you? Go and join him in the back seat.

Brian!

Brian, come down!

This way!

This way!

You've brought them all the wrong place.

They're lovely!

I'm sure they are.

No, look, if it won't get out, I tell you what, I'll take them and give them

somebody for pig poo.

These hills ain't for pigs, they're for human beings.

No, they're not a pig, they're not. They wouldn't take them with a barge pole.

Yeah, well, I want a good price for them. Pigs or no pigs.

More chance of knitting fog.

Hey, come on, Grandad.

Wait, wait.

Have you heard about your years?

Are you medical, sir? I'd give this small talk a mess if I was you,

I think I'm going to die.

You dare?

Can we have a window open, please, sir?

Come in.

All right?

Got everything you want?

Yes, Dad.

Good night, Dad.

How am I going to manage?

How am I going to do my speech?

Oh, get up, for goodness sake.

I haven't even prepared it yet. Come on.

Look, I've got a lot to do.

Right. Now, you and Nick get in here ten minutes before the service. You sit

there and Nick sits there.

OK?

Nick there and me here.

Yes.

Now, you wait there for Jo to arrive and then Nick moves up there next to her.

The vicar gets cracking and that's all there is to it.

What about the ring?

I've been through this already.

You've got it in your pocket, like I said.

Only you pretend to lose it.

How do I know when to hand it over?

Because the vicar will tell you.

Oh, try and pay attention, Phil.

Look, I've got a bad head as well, you know. I'm not good out for this sort of

responsibility, Alf.

Come here.

Ray, I've got something to tell you.

What?

I've got a new job.

Have you, love? Well done. What is it?

Wait a minute.

It's in Newcastle.

It's not five minutes from your office.

Look, there's nothing to keep us apart now.

I'm moving up to join you.

Oh, Ray.

I'm so happy.

Oh, yes, please, ma 'am.

Hello, Grandad.

Hello.

Mr and Mrs N Rowan.

Oh, that's lovely, that is.

I was worried about you. I thought you were going to be sad and lonely for the

rest of your life.

Just because I found Jo doesn't mean I've forgotten the past.

Of course not.

She's right there in little Katie.

Always will be.

Hand in me, ma 'am.

I don't feel it's disloyal to love someone else. Of course it isn't.

You're doing absolutely the right thing, and I'm thrilled to bits.

Oi, what do you think you're doing? What are you talking about, the next cop?

Oh, no, you're not. You're going to sit in this chair and stay out of the way.

You can laugh.

You should have seen her ladyship's face when he gave her his jelly deals.

Who?

One of her lot.

He called her a snooty cow.

Sounds like her auntie Alison, the Duchess.

Grandad, have you pinched me razor? No, I ain't. Me razor's gone rump and me

shirt. I'll be up in a minute.

Go on, get out of here.

The wedding's not till two o 'clock. Why don't you go out for a bit while I get

them all ready?

Then you can have the place to yourself.

I can't pull the car up.

Everything's ready and laid out in Joe's room. Hello.

Hello, Katie.

Oh, I'm so pleased to see you.

How are you? Oh, nervous.

Better for seeing a friendly face, though.

Like that, is it?

Well, she's like mum, but she's not mum, if you know what I mean.

Have you seen Nick today?

I wouldn't tell you if I had.

Total news blackout, so you need to enter.

The world in which you're living gets a bit too much to bear.

And you need someone...

When you look, there's no one there.

You're going to find me out in the country.

You're going to find me way out in the country.

The air is good. The day is fine. And the pretty girl has a hand in mine. But

the silver stream is a poor man's.

Don't you worry.

It's all a book board.

Look, it's only a little table.

It's a little surprise I've been asked to lay on for the family.

Look, I tell you what, you'd better put it round the back behind the market.

Don't worry, there'll be a few quid in it.

This way, Mr Ventress.

It won't be a stylish marriage.

He can't.

A food.

A cabbage.

Ashwoodley Police.

Oh, morning, sir.

What, now, sir?

But I'm just coming to the end of my shift, and then it's ruined.

I understand, sir.

Half an hour, then, sir.

Yes. Mrs Ventress is very good with her hands.

The only thing I'm not sure about is the colour.

I mean, is this navy the same as this?

What do you think, Maggie?

Funny thing, this wedding.

It certainly can be.

This one's going to be wonderful.

Mr. Weston's done them proud, hasn't he? He certainly has.

Ready, Maggie?

It's been an accident.

Excuse me, sir.

Ah, yeah, Simon Blaketon.

Good of you to come.

I thought it only fair to see you straight away.

In the circumstances.

Sit down.

Thank you, sir.

Send in Simon Blaketon's personal file. Anne, please.

Just try and tell me what happened.

I can't.

Are you definitely on this road?

Yes. Are you sure we haven't gone past it?

It's here.

Where?

Down there.

I don't like doing things like this over the telephone.

That's why I asked you to come in.

Well, if it's about the monthly crime report, sir.

No, it's not.

No, no.

Look, there's no point in beating about the bush, is there, Blackton?

No, sir.

Particularly with someone who's been with us for... Well, now let me see.

25 years.

25 years?

Yes. Yes, indeed, that's a long time.

So, I'll... I'll come straight to the point.

What exactly are we talking about, sir?

Is it my extension of service?

Yes.

It's about your medical.

Good news, I'm afraid.

Looks like we're going to have to let you go.

Let me go?

Not allow the extra year.

Because, in a nutshell, your health's not up to it.

My health's perfect.

That's not what it says here.

What does he say there?

There's no wrong with me.

Sticky ticker.

Oh, my God. What have I done?

My leg.

It's all right, sir. We'll get some help as quickly as we can.

I'm sorry, Ray.

I'm sorry. Keep her away from me.

I didn't mean it.

I won't ask what all this is about. The most important thing is to get some

help. Oh, Ray, please.

I can't bear it.

Will you go and wait in my car, please? It was all over years ago, Gwen, and you

were too thick to see it.

It's all right.

It's all right, sir.

I'll just try and make it a bit more comfortable, OK?

Mr Coons, will your wife have phoned for help, do you think?

She's not my wife. Whoever she is, will she have phoned for an ambulance?

She must be joking.

She just tried to kill me. Why do you think I'm lying here with a busted leg?

She drove the car straight at me.

I'm going to have to go up the top road and try and flag someone down. No, don't

leave me. I'll have to.

She might come back.

You need a doctor.

And I need to get back home now, please.

I'm getting married in less than two hours' time.

I thought it only fair to see you straight away.

In the circumstances.

Not allow the extra year.

Oh, I'll do yours, Grandad.

You'll only hurt yourself.

Morning. Hello.

Here comes the good old best man.

Maureen, give him his carnation. And that last one there's for Nick.

Where is it?

Well, she's sent him off out of it. Told him to go for a spin, clear his head,

without you lot bawling and screaming at him.

Can he back yet, Brian?

Don't know, I don't see him.

Right. We all ready?

Come on, everybody.

Rock down the pub, get out of your way, darling.

Here, Glare.

You'll never walk in them shoes.

See you at the altar, Phil.

Oh, and I want that boy of mine looking a million dollars.

When

Nick

asked me to be his best man, I said...

Not if I have to make a speech.

Not if I have to make a... When Nick asked me to be his best man, I said, not

I have to make a speech.

Ladies and gentlemen.

It's time tomorrow you'll be there.

Wherever there is.

Your secret destination.

I just hope I've packed the right things.

Summer clothes and a swimming costume, you said.

I mean, that could mean anywhere, couldn't it?

You don't know, do you?

I might.

Is it Cornwall?

My lips are sealed.

You don't mind all this, do you, Maggie?

What?

The wedding and everything.

I hope it doesn't rub salt in the wound.

Why ever should it?

I don't know. What with your ex turning up and all that.

Well, I'm not going to let him spoil my day.

I'm determined to enjoy myself.

Good. So am I.

Ladies and gentlemen, when Nick asked me to be... Is that as far as you've got

for first line?

Shut up.

It's the worst day of my life, this. Where's the car?

I wish I knew.

What? He's taking it for a drive.

First of course, it's a one.

What do you mean, he's taking it for a drive?

Well, that's what Mrs Rowan said.

Where is she?

At the pub.

Well, you best give her a ring and find out what's going on. He should be here

getting into his glad rags by now.

You're right, you're right, you're right, you're right.

There we go.

There we go.

How do I look, then?

No sense in waiting for an ambulance, Mr. Owen. I'll take him in myself.

I can do a detour first, drop you in Aidensfield, and then go straight on to

hospital. What, if you're sure?

I know what would have happened if it had been late on my wedding day.

Mrs. Never would have forgiven me.

Ten to one.

You can do it easily.

Well, no answer.

So what do we do now?

I don't know.

Oh, dear.

Phil, it's supposed to be your job to get into the church on time.

I know, I know.

I can't believe it.

I'm the best man and I've lost the flipping groom.

Well, once we've done this, we're going to get you into the back of the van and

Mr Thompson is going to run you to the hospital.

I've got a board in the back of the van. We can use that as a stretcher.

Oh!

Oh!

Oh, boy.

General O 'Brien, here.

On your side?

Yeah.

You won't be long, then.

I can't like the look of this.

I'll back the van up.

You're going to have to run him straight to the hospital.

You haven't got time to drop me, sir.

Wait, hold on. Hold on.

It's no good, Alf. No -one's answering.

Where's Rowan? We don't know.

Only I was nearly mown down by his car half an hour ago on the top whippy road.

On the top whippy... Which way was he going? Towards Ashfordly. Right.

Bellamy, he weren't driving. It was a woman.

A woman?

What woman? I don't know what woman. So where was Nick?

That's what I'm trying to find out. A woman was driving Nick's car, heading

towards Ashfordly. Right.

And Nick wasn't in it? No.

What's going on, Sarge? I don't know, but we've got to find out from Artish.

Now, you stay here in case he turns up. Ventress.

This is turning into a nightmare.

There we are.

Oh, that's lovely.

Thank you.

Who is it?

Dad.

Come in.

Do I look all right?

All right, we're there. It won't be long now.

She could have killed us.

I'll report it straight away.

I'm a policeman, Mr Coombs. Stay with him, I'll get a doctor.

I don't want it reported!

I'm in casualty.

No, no, I'm all right. Just come and get me, Phil.

Quick as you can.

You're not going to the police, are you?

Mr Rowan!

Mr Rowan!

Yeah, go to Mr Mickey's Eileen Reynolds, please.

Eileen, it's me. Listen, can you tell Joe to get to the church 15 minutes

Yeah, I'll explain later.

Right, I'll see you there.

Bye.

Excuse me.

What is all this, Mr Cleaves? You've got to report it. I can't. It's GVH at the

very least. I can't report it or my wife will find out.

I told Gwyn I'd marry you, eh?

I didn't want to lie to her. I just wanted to make her happy.

Well, she's not very happy now, is she?

No, well, that's because she won't spoil it at all.

Got herself a job in Newcastle.

Wanted to fix the day and everything.

So you had to come clean?

Yeah, she went mad.

Drove the car straight at us.

Look, if the wife finds out, I'm done for.

Would you leave us?

I don't want anyone told!

Yeah,

I want to make a report.

Yes, a stolen vehicle.

Registration number LTR 573.

He's in Ashfordly Hospital.

I've just got to pick him up.

Okay, lads.

Leave them, for goodness' sake.

And why you had to bring Alfred when I expressly told you not to? Well, he

nowhere's going to leave him all that time on his own, is there?

Stingy. He does not stink.

He smells better than you and me. If you must know what smells, it's the eels.

Well, leave them, then.

All right.

It is the last time I ask for your help, Claude.

Definitely the last time.

Promises, promises.

Excuse me, madam.

Go away.

I'm looking for Nick Rowan, and you're in his car.

Go away!

Hello again.

Hello. We met last night, remember?

Yeah, I just found out who you are.

Joe's mum's sister.

And now Joe's a Rowan.

We're all one big happy family.

Weston's and Rowan's.

I suppose, yeah.

Yeah, Rue. That's the old cow when I go about me and my eels.

Fantastic.

She won't tell me what she's doing in your car.

How is he?

He's going to be fine.

Nick, you've got ten minutes. He's at the hospital. He's got a broken leg and

ruptured spleen.

I must go to him.

You can't. I must.

His wife's with him. Nick. His wife?

He just phoned her.

She should be there by now. Nick, will you please listen?

There's nothing you can do, Gwen.

He doesn't want to press charges, so don't push it.

Excuse me, man.

I can deal with this.

You've got ten minutes to get to Avonsfield, wash, change, and get to

You don't leave now. You're going to miss your own wedding.

Come on, go.

Will you be all right, then?

If Ray doesn't report it, is that the end of it, then? Well, there'll still

to be a police inquiry.

So I might still have to go to court?

Look, I shouldn't worry about it if I were you.

From what you say, this man's been lying to you for ten whole years, hasn't he?

So if I were you, I'd go inside and make yourself a nice cup of tea and thank

your lucky stars that you shot at him.

Will you do that, then?

Yeah. Right.

Got this one?

Yes, I've got it.

That's it.

I'll get the jacket.

Give me time.

You've got me time.

Come on, Dad. Stop worrying.

I don't understand why Nick asked us to be late.

It's going to be all right.

You'd better start trusting him because he's about to become your son -in -law.

You look... Radiant.

Isn't that what a bride's supposed to be?

And you are.

If only your mother could see you.

I know.

She would have loved today.

I hope so.

She'd have come round, you know.

Dad, you don't have to say these things. I know what Mum was like. She was ill

those last few weeks.

She'd had time to get to know Nick properly.

Yes.

Thank you.

Good luck, darling.

A long and happy life together.

Oh, I feel right idiot, Eileen, talking about mutton dressed as lamb.

Don't be silly.

You look lovely.

Oh, matron of almighty.

You're all right, Martin.

I mean, you know that... What?

I don't know.

Quite your usual stuff.

Something bothering you?

No.

Well, thought not, but... Oh, it's not really the time of the play.

My husband's come to live in Ashfordly.

Maggie? He's got a job at the hospital, would you believe?

He did very kindly come and ask me if I minded.

Do you?

Here comes Daddy!

Listen, I've only told you and Joe. Don't say anything to anybody, will you?

Excuse me, ladies.

Come on, Nick. Where have you been?

Oh, Nick!

Look at you!

Great,

thank you.

Dearly beloved, we are gathered here in the sight of God and in the face of this

congregation to join together this man and this woman in holy matrimony, which

is an honourable estate instituted of

God himself,

signifying unto us the mystical union that is betwixt Christ and his Church,

which holy estate Christ adorned and beautified with his presence.

To have and to hold From this day forward

For better, for worse.

For richer, for poorer.

In sickness and in health.

To love and to cherish.

Till death us do part.

I,

Joanna, take thee, Nicholas,

to my wedded husband, to have and to hold.

From this day forward, to love and to cherish,

thereto I give thee my praise.

the same by giving and receiving of a ring and by joining us.

I pronounce that they be man and wife together in the name of the Father and

the Son and of the Holy Ghost.

to go to Whitby this morning, Alf.

See the superintendent.

Did you, Sarge?

What was all that about?

Oh, nothing much.

Just a general chat.

One thing he did say, though, we're about to get a new constable.

A new constable?

In Ashford, I think. Apparently.

Could you move to one side, please, sir? I'm trying to get a family group.

Love letters, Mrs. Coombs.

Your precious Ray's love letters.

Have a good read.

And you can have this back and all. Because I wouldn't marry you now, not if

went down on your bended knee.

Madam, please.

You can't have you rot in hell, Ray. I can't have you rot in hell.

I won't be back.

I won't be back.

Hard to do.

Before you can raise a good family.

You have to make love in harmony.

Cheers to you both.

Cheers.

We're here to work.

Here to work. And may we have... A long life and happiness.

Fun. Love.

Adventure. And lots of babies.

Hey, I haven't decided on that yet.

I can't understand. What a gorgeous girl like you. Get off, Brian.

Doing in a place like this. Getting away from horrible men like you.

Now, Mr. Wefton, sell him a portion, sir. It's hoping that he'll go free.

There you are. Thank you very much, sir. Very kind.

Ladies and... Ladies and

gentlemen, may Nick go away.

Guess what I just heard?

Getting a new constable at Ashfordly.

Yeah?

And not just while Nick's away.

From what Blaketon said, it's permanent.

Permanent? Well, we don't need anybody permanent, do we?

That's what I said.

We're right as we are.

Young man, speeches!

Ladies

and

gentlemen, would you be kind enough to resume your seats now?

as we're about to have the pleasure of hearing a brilliant speech from the best

man.

Ladies and

gentlemen,

when Nick first asked me to be his best man, I said...

I said... Oh, get on with it!

Not if I have to make a speech.

Well, he... Hang on. Tell him a funny story.

And Nick said... He said rhubarb wine. It's pickled his brain. Look, all I

really want to say is... Well, I've known Nick ever since he first came to

Yorkshire.

And he's been the best village constable we could have had.

Oh, I... And the best mate I've ever had.

And we've been through some times together.

Good, bad and indifferent.

Sometimes a bit sad.

But then Jo arrived in the village and I knew everything was going to be all

right.

I don't have to tell any of you what a great lass she is.

Her and Nick hit it off at once.

Almost.

We could see they were made for each other.

And being a schoolmarm, she'll keep Nick in order.

And being a sergeant... Almost.

He'll keep her on the straight and narrow.

So, what could be better?

She just...

Well, it gives me great pleasure to propose a toast to the

bridesmaids.

They're the lovely, lovely bridesmaids.

You'd all raise your glasses.

To the bridesmaids.

What's going on? I haven't even done the telegram yet.

Hang on, hang on, hang on. That is my money. You've got to be joking.

And them was my eels. Yeah, they was. But you didn't want them, did you? So

gave them to me. Yeah, to get rid of, not to sell to me own family.

You never said no to that when you gave me them. I don't care. That's my money

and I want it. Well, you're not getting it.

What? Oh, how dare you.

I distinctly told you not to bring me the eels.

It was him. Why don't you get back in the moss -bross window?

Right, OK. Come on, outside.

You're talking. about, we are outside.

Grandad, stop showing us up. Listen, if you don't stop this, I shall ring the

police. I am the police. I'll handle this. Right, you two, leave now and

come back to your bar. Hey, hey, just watch out. Our suit will... No!

Come along.

Come along.

Something special.

Oh, Dad.

It was Mum's.

She wanted you to have it.

Oh, that's lovely, that is.

Look after her for me.

That's right.

Bye.

Bye, Nick. You don't want to be late all over again. Late for what?

Come on, Phil, you can tell me now.

No.

They take us home, they all find a place.

You can have a little if you wish.

You can have it on a plight or a dish.

Or on a little bit of pie.

Ah, Mr.

Weston, thank you very much.

May I join you?

You haven't been barred at all, have you?

I'm not allowed to drink at my own daughter's wedding.

Oh, it's the old cow again, is it?

I'm afraid so.

Don't worry about it, Mr. Wesson. Here.

Get a chatting gear around that. I'll see how you brought it.

You're very good, Hal.

Manchester Airport?

Yeah. I can't go abroad. I haven't got the passport.

I'll put you on mine.

Will you please tell me where we're going? Spain.

This car has been reported as a stolen vehicle.

Can I see your driving licence?

Spain? It's our name.

Oh, Nick.

I'm sorry, in all the confusion, I forgot to tell HQ that I'd found it

Oh, that is wonderful.

He's a ruddy clopper.

I do love him.

Heartbeat, why do you miss when my baby kisses me?

Why doesn't love just stay in my memory?
