You can move in with them next week. You're looking... very commanding

this evening, Nadine.

You still coming to my graduation, Mr Cynical Man of the Law?

Am I still invited?

- Anything? - Negative.

What's the point? I just want a glimpse of him.

Come on, Michael, please.

Stella, it's just... Oh, sorry, no, forget it.

I shouldn't have said nothing.

♪ And then she smiles

♪ And my heart starts beating

♪ I go weak inside... ♪

Yes, it's a football.

But a football with a twist.

Cool!

Signed by the entire Swansea team.

Don't want you forgetting your roots when you're playing for...

Oh, I can barely say it!

Cardiff City.

It's the academy, Bobs. I'll never make it to the actual team.

- You may do one day. - Yeah, if you keep thinking positive.

All I'm saying is, you may be a Bluebird on the outside,

but deep down, you'll always be a Swan. Oh, God!

Come on - he's only moving to the next village.

Oh, yeah, sorry.

Oh... all the best, mate!

SHE SIGHS

Come and see us, won't you?

Mmm... yeah!

Say bye to Michael.

And tell him to sort himself out.

Oh, Christ, I'm a shivering wreck!

HE SOBS

26 grand, Luke! 26 bloody grand!

I can see why people enjoy these jewellery auctions so much. Addictive places.

That's £2,000 profit in ten days.

I'm worried how much I enjoyed it. It's not that different from being - at the bookie's. - Don't you dare!

Anyway, I've got plans for this money. Come on!

I see them injuries have faded, Michael Jackson,

after your pub brawl last week with Rob Morgan's brother.

It wasn't a brawl. Never trust a Morgan.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, but do wha'.

Thanks for that plastic pearl of wisdom.

Ooh, while I've got you - I need some free legal advice.

How can I force Lord Stanley Llewellyn to admit to being my father?

- You can't. - But I got proof!

I got the letter he wrote to Olwen after he'd, you know, parked his car in her garage.

It doesn't prove anything. The only proof that counts is DNA evidence.

You'd know all about that, of course.

Oh, presents. Why did you ring the bell?

What do you expect? Poor bloke doesn't know what he'll find on the other side of that door!

Whose baby are you having this week?

Which of his ex-girlfriends are living here this month rent-free?

Beyonce's moved out, by the way. Yes, I heard.

Tell you what, thank God that young Billy is off to a more stable home environment today.

Cos who knows what damage your devil-may-care existence

would do him if he stayed a second longer.

It's more like Glastonbury than Pontyberry in this house!

But do wha'!

I wanted to give Billy something.

Don't worry - it's not a pair of football boots.

Oh... you've missed him, presh.

What - he's gone?

Yeah. About a half-hour ago. Why didn't you tell me?

I thought he was here - till lunchtime. - I didn't know you were so desperate to see him.

- I wanted to say goodbye. - Sorry.

Got him a globe and everything.

Look, Michael, it's your choice not to live here, OK?

So don't be blaming me if you're not across everything that's going on.

Thanks, Stella.

What?!

- Thanks, Jag. - I haven't seen you for a few days, Nadine.

I have missed you.

- Don't be sarcastic! - No, I meant... Sorry, Jag.

I'm in a bad space at the moment.

Can't see the point in anything. Everything I try my hand to goes pears-up -

the dog-grooming, the wedding planning, the waitressing.

And now I've gone and ruined the dating agency.

And is it any wonder? I've hardly got a good track record.

I destroyed my relationship with Karl.

- And Ivan Schloss. - Schloss. That's what I said.

And I fell for that Wynne Morgan,

who turned out to be as crooked as Glen Brennig's teeth.

I'm nothing but a lost cause.

You know, sometimes we can look into the mirror and not see our own reflection.

Because it's dirty?

You, my dear, are so many wonderful things.

Like what?

Well, for a start, you are a kind and caring mother.

A good friend.

You're always well turned-out and sophisticated.

Do you think?

Yes. And you're funny.

Funny peculiar, like?

No. Funny.

You make people smile.

Yeah, only cos they're taking the piss. You know what they're like - round here. Disgusting! - Nadine...

Thank God! I thought I'd find you here.

I've got a massive favour to ask.

- Stella Morris. - Jackson.

I take it you've got your two tickets sorted - for the graduation ceremony? - Yes.

Aunty Brenda's coming, and Michael's bringing Holly.

Well, I shall not be attending.

For as of tomorrow, you will no longer be under my jurisdiction

or my yellow card regime, but I want you to know you done well.

So keep up the good work and...

what-have-you.

Thanks, Cheryl.

Over and out.

- I need a quick word. - Jesus, Bobby!

Don't be creeping up on me like that, you weirdo! What is it?

I should have moved out when you got married.

But somehow it didn't happen.

But what'll I do without you?

Ben's gone, Billy's gone, Michael's...

Well... But that's the thing.

Michael shouldn't be gone. He should be back living with you, and I feel it's all my fault.

How is it your fault? Don't be daft.

Where are you gonna go?

Not far.

Next door, in fact.

Nadine Bevan's looking for a lodger.

But she didn't realise she was looking for a lodger until I pointed out she was.

Oh... Oh, Bobs!

Stella!

HE SOBS

- Aha! - It's gorgeous.

Right?

It's not very practical, though, Luke.

Maybe we should look at something like that.

Wait, hang on. It's got four seats.

I mean, yeah, it's a bit poky in the back,

but it'll be fine for the two kids. The two kids, yeah.

But not if there's three.

What?

- What?! - Yes!

You can't tell anyone yet, Luke. Promise?

SHE SIGHS HEAVILY

Just you and me now, then, presh.

Oh.

Even took Bobby's bar, look.

DOORBELL

- Oh, my God! - A little bird tells me it's your graduation tomorrow!

STELLA LAUGHS

Glass of merlot, please.

Coming right up.

Where's Jag? Not like him to take an evening off.

He's gone to Nadine's for Bobby's housewarming dinner.

To celebrate Bobby becoming - Nadine's new lodger. - What?

Timing couldn't be better, really.

Now that Paula's home - for a few days. - Hang on -

Paula's home and Bobby's moved out of our house? Stella's house.

Yes.

He was making a risotto.

Well, nice to be told

I think it was all a bit last-minute, mate.

He was going to do a paella.

I'm talking about my wife's inability to communicate.

Not Bobby's fucking menu choice.

Sorry.

I'll take this up to my room.

They do smell funny, babies, mind, don't they?

Shut up! That's my daughter you're talking about.

Oh, God, it is SO lovely to see you.

I know. Well, it was either come home for a quick visit

or go hillwalking in Bogota with George.

Oh! Who's this? New man?

Woman. Georgina.

Right.

You... you didn't say.

Yeah, well, still working it out, to be honest.

I mean, nobody was more surprised than me.

Don't get me wrong - she's done wonders for my self-confidence.

She's got such an adventurous spirit.

But, to be honest, she'd been a little bit possessive of late.

OK.

Anyway, enough about me!

Where to is that obscenely handsome husband of yours?

STELLA SIGHS

Well, that was excellent, even if I do say so yourself.

Yeah, fair play.

Cheers!

Here's to new beginnings.

- And old friends. - Cheers.

And I don't want you doing the washing-up, mind.

I'm going to do my bit, you watch. Sounds like a certain new lodger is persuading a certain new landlady

she has made a good decision in taking him on.

You do love to use a lot of words, don't you, Jag?

Sorry.

No.

I like it.

It's nice.

Now, are you 100% about the bar?

- What? - Cos I know it's not everyone's cup of tea.

It is a bit old-fashioned, if truth be told.

TEXT ALERT Well, no!

Vintage, they do call it.

Oh, my God! It's Wesley.

- The Games Of Thrones chap? - Yeah!

He do want to meet me for a drink! - What, now? - Yes, now!

Oh, my God, what am I gonna wear? Everything's still in boxes.

Looks like you and me are doing the dishes, Nadine.

And then I suppose I should make a move.

Preparations for Stella's graduation party won't organise themselves.

MUSIC PLAYS

Don't go.

Got to dash! Have fun.

Blimey - Paula Kosh doing the washing-up!

Must be a good influence on you, this Georgie woman.

Not really.

I just reckoned, soonest done, soonest pissed.

That's not an actual saying.

Stop changing the subject. Stella!

STELLA SIGHS

Have you and Michael Jackson actually sat down properly and talked about all this,

like two resenting adults?

Not sure how much good it'd do, Paul.

We're always going to come back to the same thing.

I was unfaithful to him.

Yeah, you were, you stupid cow!

But look on the bright side.

At least Rob Morgan's dead.

Nice!

No, but I mean, it's not like it's gonna happen again, is it?

You should take up marriage guidance.

You know, Michael reckons Rob's got this hold over me or something.

Yeah. Well, I'm sorry, presh...

...but we both know Michael's right, don't we?

STELLA SIGHS

I didn't know if you took sugar.

One sugar in tea.

None in coffee.

There we are, then. Good guess.

Unless it's a macchiato.

Look... About last night. ...about what happened.

No, you go on.

It was a one-off, wasn't it?

- - Er... yes. - Right. - If that's what - you want. - I'll let you get dressed.

Aunty Brenda.

All right, Dave?

- Oh! - Where to's the aspirin, Stell?

I told you not to have that fourth bottle.

Oh, good God!

Stella, hi. Paula, hi.

Right, Jag?

Oh, Christ! I feel shit.

- Did you want something, presh? - Yes.

No.

Found them!

Right, well, um...

I'm just getting ready - for the ceremony. - Ceremony?

Yeah.

It's my graduation today, remember?

You're doing the party for us up the Fox.

Are you all right, Jag?

Yes. I am lovely!

STELL!Oh, bloody hell!

I've had a letter from him!

- Who? - My father - Lord Stanley Llewellyn!

He wants to see me, Stell!

Before he do go off down the Caribbean for three months.

- It says this afternoon. - I know.

So I'm going to miss your graduation, I'm afraid.

But this is far more important. Oh, Paula Kosh can have my ticket. Amazing.

Lord only knows what I'm going to wear.

It's times like this I wish I'd never handed in my mayoral chain.

But do wha'.

Oh, and don't think I haven't noticed

you're wearing the same clothes as yesterday, Jagadeesh Choudary

or that I didn't see you leaving Nadine Bevan's house first thing this morning.

I'm just too stressed to comment.

Ah!

DOOR SLAMS

I can't believe he's late!

Give him a break.

If he's not here in two minutes, I'm going in without him.

Stop being such a dick!

- You're just nervous. - No, I'm not.

Yeah, you are, and you're taking it out on Michael.

Here, get some of this down you.

Paula! I am driving.

And graduating. What is wrong with you?

- - Stella! - Michael! - Come on, Michael, for God's sake.

There's nowhere to park. Hi, Paula.

Yeah, well, everyone else managed.

Don't start! Don't either of you start.

My head is pounding like a sewing machine.

Come on!

APPLAUSE

Jonathan Lewis Davies.

Holly Alicia Rosemary Green.

I'm really sorry I was late, you know.

It's a big day.

She's just stressed, she is.

It's more than just stress, isn't it, though, Paula? We both know that.

I'm with a woman now, you know.

Stella Lucy Jackson.

PAULA WHOOPS Go, Stella! Go, Stella!

Woo-hoo!

Nicholas Williams.

OK.

- I'm so proud of you, you know. - Oh!

Yeah.

Today should have been different, shouldn't it?

Right, let's get to this party, then,

cos it's been all of 90 minutes since I had a proper drink.

Come on.

SHE SIGHS

Look, I've been thinking.

How would you feel about some sort of counselling?

What - sitting in a room confessing my dirty little secret while you play the hard-done-by husband?

Well, I AM the hard-done-by husband.

Not always been the case, though. Here we go.

Mind you, if this counsellor chap asked me to put myself in your shoes,

at least I can say I know exactly how you feel,

seeing as you had sex with a 28-year-old... OK, I get your point.

I don't think you do, cos I DID forgive you and I did move on.

By the sound of it, you haven't moved on at all.

Will you two calm the fuck...

I moved on and I asked you to marry me.

When you'd been shagging - your ex-boyfriend. - I loved you and knew it was you I wanted to be with.

You should never have been in a position where you had to choose. He asked me to go away with him.

Do you know that? Rob wanted me to leave you, and I said no.

Well, maybe you should have said yes.

- What? - Maybe the whole marriage was a mistake.

By the sound of things, you only proposed because you felt guilty. That's ridiculous!

I'll tell you what's ridiculous - I woke up this morning

and started looking online for marriage counsellors,

because I stupidly thought we could make it work.

But our relationship's just a joke. - I think you might be right. - Great.

Well, at least we agree on something. I'll start the ball rolling, if you like.

What are you talking about? Divorce proceedings, Stella. I want a divorce.

Christ's sake, Michael! I am not listening to this!

I said I want a divorce!

Good! Do what you bloody like!

STELLA!

- I want to see her. - It's not possible - at the moment. We're doing tests. - I want to know how my fucking wife is!

Please!

Let me sit with him for a minute.

Of course.

Hey. Come on, good boy. You've got to keep it together now.

But you were there, Paula.

You heard me.

I asked her for a divorce!

It's good of you to come today, fair play.

I nearly pulled out, to be honest.

Me and Wes made a bit of a night of it last night.

Did he have you dressing up again? Yes.

Well, thank you for making the effort.

Thing is, I need someone with me in case I get emotional.

Be like something out of Long-Lost Families, I should imagine.

Oh, I hope so. - I love Davina, don't you? - Yeah.

AUNTY BREATHES HEAVILY

'Yes?'

Hello. It's Aunty Brenda Draper here

to see Lord Llewellyn.

'One moment, please.'

Jag.

Jagadeesh.

Yes, Yanto, my friend?

Stella's due here in ten mins. Shall I get the sausage rolls in now?

Yes, if you think.

Mind them for a sec, will you?

Aye-aye!

That sex last night was the best sex I've ever had in my whole entire life.

And me.

Stay with me again tonight.

Try stopping me.

SHE SQUEALS

All right, Nad?

Yes. Why?

No reason.

Don't be disgusting!

Hey!

Where to's Stella, then? Me and Jackson done her a picture, didn't we, Jacks?

Very impressive.

Well done, little man.

Oh, no, that's the one I did. This one's Jackson's.

PHONE RINGS Here we go.

Aunty Paula! I hope you're on your way, cos we're...

What?

I know it do sound daft, but...

...this place just feels like home, you know?

DIXIE HORN RINGTONE

Switch that thing off, for God's sake!

BELL RINGTONE

Lord Llewellyn will see you now.

So, Father...

May I call you Father?

No, you bloody well may not!

I think what Aunty Brenda's trying to say, Lord Llewellyn,

is that you are clearly the person who wrote this letter to her mother Olwen, God rest her soul.

And therefore you are so clearly Aunty Brenda's papa.

What is it you're after - money?

Because you'll get none.

I've have my lawyers over this like a rash.

You won't stand a chance.

But I don't understand why... It's all right, Bobby.

This gentleman has made his feelings perfectly what-do-you-call.

We won't inconvenience him any longer.

CLOCK CHIMES

She's still unconscious.

Jesus!

There's no visible damage from the brain scan, but we're monitoring. That's good, isn't it?

The next 24 hours will be critical.

- Can we see her? - Not all of you. We have to be strict, I'm afraid.

You go in with Michael.

Let me take Holly.

Thanks.

Where's my mam?

- Where is she? - You've got to be strong, mate, OK?

She's stable, but she's in a bad way.

I am so sorry. Not your fault, presh.

Though Christ knows how you put up with him.

Oh, he has his good side. You could have fooled me!

Thing is, I've worked with him over 40 years now,

and during that time, there have been about 11...12 people turning up claiming to be his.

He won't acknowledge any of them, so at least you're not alone.

That's a comfort.

Well, I tell you something, good girl, and you can pass this on to Lord Snootypants Llewellyn from me.

Aunty Brenda is one of the finest women of her kind.

And it's his bloody loss he don't want to know her.

Cos if he knew her like I do know her, and the people of Pontyberry do know her,

he'd wish he...

knew her.

DIXIE HORN RINGTONE Come on. It's not worth it.

Zoe, now's not a good time. I'll call you back.

Wha'?!

Bobs, I'm wracked with guilt, I am.

Because, to be honest, she got on my nerves for the most part, Stella Jackson.

But now she's lying there all wired up, cables coming out of her like the back of a digibox,

I just feel awful for not cutting her a bit of slack.

Don't beat yourself up, presh.

Michael's doing enough of that for everyone.

I know. Mind you, he was having a massive argument with her before it.

Let's talk about something shallow and frivolous.

Tell me what's going on in your love life.

Cos there's a spring in the step of Jagadeesh Choudary, by all accounts,

and I've got a feeling I know who put it there.

Bobs, he's amazing!

How comes I've never noticed something so stunning

when it's stood right there, right under my own chops?

Only us.

Oh, my God, Ken, you came back!

Hiya, Bob. Nadine.

My poor little Stella, eh?

Tragic, it is. Because, to be honest, she got on my nerves for the most part...

Hey! Never mind social what-do-you-calls and what-have-you!

I done a rota. Morning to you an' all!

It's been three days now. It's time we stepped things up.

So, between us, we'll get that niece of mine back in the land of the living.

Yep. Yep.

KNOCK AT DOOR

Ben.

Benny boy.

Cup of tea for you.

Emma's arrived. Going to go to the hospital soon if you want to come.

'Ben won't come out of his room.'

He's this little lost soul.

We all are, really.

You'd sort us out, though, wouldn't you?

It's like you've got a PhD in parenting.

HE SIGHS

Oh, Stella.

All right?

There's no change.

No.

Zoe's got the car. She'll give you a lift home, let you get some sleep.

I can't leave her. What if...? Michael, you have to rest.

Come home. Couple of hours, that's all.

And Aunty Brenda's making you beef tea or something, so look out.

I won't be long, I promise.

Everyone's talking about you, you know.

The whole town.

You've caused a proper big stir.

Honestly, the things people do for attention.

Hey, now, look - don't you go turning me into a fucking orphan, all right?

I only just got used to losing Rob.

We need you, Mam.

I need you.

More than ever, as it goes.

Cos, um...

...the thing is...

Zoe told me not to tell anyone, so you've got to keep this a secret.

But...

...she's pregnant.

Three months.

You're going to be a nana again.

So come on!

Get your arse in gear and wake up, is it!

Please, Mam.

Hello, Stella.

Hello, Rob.

Hang on.

You're dead, aren't you?

Yep.

Am I dead?

No. But you're not very well at the moment.

I feel all right.

You look lovely.

Unbelievable! You're dead, and you still manage to flirt.

Come and sit down a minute.

I've been dreaming about you a lot lately.

It's getting on my nerves, to be honest.

- Nice! - No, you know what I mean.

I think it's cos of Holly.

Cos I feel so guilty.

She's a beautiful baby.

I do feel sad,

because you won't get to see her growing up.

No.

She's in very safe hands.

Hey, Aunty Brenda reckons she's related to the posh bloke lives up Foster Park.

She thinks he's her dad.

- He is. - How do you know?

Well, you can find out anything when you're dead.

At first I found it fascinating, but after a while,

you start to realise there's nothing wrong with a bit of mystery.

I saw Daddy Simpson the other day.

- Never! - Mmm.

- And Dick the Kick. - That's nice.

Hey, what about Alan's mam?

Yeah, Anita. An over-bloody-eater!

She's lost a fair bit of weight, actually.

Fair play.

SHE SIGHS DEEPLY

Do you mind if I have a little kip?

I'm ever so tired, I am.

Feel free.

I'm not going anywhere.

'Stell?

'Stell!

'Can you hear me?'

Oh, stop dicking around and say something, cos you're boring me now.

Oh, fuck it!

Fuck, fuck!

Look, Stell...

...I don't know how long this is going to go on, this coma lark,

but I promise you now,

as God is my witness,

I will not let your facial hair grow unattended

and nor will I let your roots turn grey.

First sign of either, and I am on it.

Actually, while I'm here...

PHONE RINGS

Abhra keeps asking where his nana is.

He's so confused.

- - Couldn't sleep. - Hiya. - Hey, Em.

- Any news? - Not that we'd know,

cos Paula Kosh has been in there so long, none of us has had a look-in.

She only just got here. But she's not adhering to the rota. Aunty Bren!

That was Nadine. She did say Jagadeesh is offering us

a complimentary family meal at the Fox.

Stayed with her again last night, he did.

Bold as a blister.

What?

My ex-father-in-law is sleeping with my ex-stepmother?!

- Yup. - Only in Pontyberry!

Anyway... what do you say?

I bet Stella would think it's a good idea.

Nice family lunch.

I won't come but, yes, I think Stella would approve.

Right, I'm going in. Bren, for God's sake!

How's that? Better?

Your Aunty Bren has made your old grandpa head of childcare.

What do you think of that?

I thought she meant looking after Holly and Abhra.

Turns out she meant you.

They're all heading up the pub in a bit.

Be nice to join 'em, eh?

Change of scene and that.

No, thanks.

She's not going to die... is she, Grandpa?

Hey, now!

Your mam is strong.

And Welsh.

And very, very stubborn.

She's not going nowhere, kid.

What in the name of the entire Welsh rugby squad

do you think you're doing, Paula Kosh?!

She's my best friend. She'd do the same for me, I know she would.

That's tantamount to fiddling with a corpse! What's got into you?!

Stella Jackson is not dead!

And while she lives and breathes, I have a duty of care to ensure

she's not left unkempt and unattended, lying in a hospital bed!

Go on - leave her in peace!

Get down the pub with the rest of 'em!

I could do with a drink, as it happens.

Do you mind if I go for a little drink, Stell?

She can't hear you, man! Now bugger off.

AUNTY BRENDA SIGHS Honestly, that woman!

Right. There. That's better.

They say we've got to talk to you, Stell, that it helps.

There you are. Never got the chance to tell your about what's-his-name.

Lord Llewellyn.

The truth is, I was building him up to be this amazing man,

someone I'd have been proud to call my dad.

Um...

He wasn't very nice in the end.

No.

He wasn't all that at all.

And actually...

I'm quite happy with the dad I had.

Hywel Kosh.

I'd rather be a Kosh than a Llewellyn any day of the week.

Cos he give me... a lovely family.

I love my family, I do.

And I love you.

My favourite niece.

Admittedly, you're my ONLY niece, but...

...you are still my favourite, see?

Nice sleep?

But I've got something for you.

- A spoon. - Not just any old spoon.

This...

...is covered in the evidence you need to prove Lord Stanley Llewellyn is your dad.

I nicked it from his saucer.

Careful, mind - you've got to preserve the DNA.

Thank you, Bobby.

HE GASPS

Some things are better left where they are.

Michael wants a divorce. - Oh, shut up! - He does.

- He told me. - It was said in the heat of the moment, Stella, and you know it. Stop being such a drama queen.

Briann!

Hiya.

Can't see us. No-one can.

Hold your bastard horses - I can't keep up, man!

She's going to get diagnosed with diabetes

and turn her health around within the year.

Autumn 2019, she's going to run the Cardiff Half-Marathon.

- Good God! - See, miracles do happen, Stella.

Jackson's going to be a highly successful doctor.

And gay.

Camp gay or straight gay?

Lovely gay.

She's going to have three more kids, all by the same dad.

Just got to take it a day at a time, all right?

Ben!

- Ben! - Can't hear you.

You're in the best place.

Come here.

Oh, my babies!

Michael should be with them.

What, joining in the fun?

They look like they're having a great time, don't they

He's exhausted, Stella.

He needs you.

Can we go see him?

Come on.

He's going to be a wonderful father to Holly, you know.

But only if you help him.

You need to go back, Stella,

and stop faffing around.

You leaving now, then?

I think it's time, don't you?

SHE SIGHS

Rob, do you reckon we'd have made it, you and me?

If you'd stayed here all them years ago and never gone to Canada?

Doesn't matter, really, does it?

The what might have been.

It's the here and now that's important.

We don't ever have to forget each other, Stell.

But we do have to let each other go.

And if you won't let go of me...

...I can't let go of you.

You and Michael have many, many happy years ahead of you.

Goodbye, sweetheart.

Don't be scared.

Stell?

Stella!

Hiya, presh.

- Gasping for a drink, I am. - Nurse!

- I'm sorry, Michael. - Hey.

I love you so much.

She's woken up. She's OK. Mam's OK!

Never!

BUZZ OF CHATTER

She's alive!

My God, she's alive!

LAUGHTER

And just to be clear, you're definitely not getting back with me cos you feel sorry for me?

No. I'm definitely getting back with you

because I want to spend the rest of my life being irritated by your annoying ways... Bloody cheek!

...laughing at your terrible jokes... You can talk!

...and waking up to your beautiful smile every morning.

Bloody charmer, you are, Jackson.

I don't believe a word you say.

New chapter.

For both of us.

OK?

I'm thinking of retraining to be a midwife.

I reckon I've worked in departure lounge long enough. Time to work in... Arrivals!

I like it.

Don't be ridiculous, Paula Kosh! Christ, you talk shit sometimes.

Now, grab this salad.

Hey!

It's for the children!

Anyway, congratulations, kid. Thank you.

Giving me another great-grandchild, - eh? - I thought you was looking - a bit fat. - Charming!

Hang on. That means Abhra's going to be an uncle.

No... Cousins. God, you're so thick!

Shut up!

I was thinking, next summer, do you want to come round all the festivals with me in the van?

Oh, wha'? Immense! Think of all them girls!

You'll have to cook burgers, mind, so you'll stink of onions. No worries.

We'll take some Febreze with us.

My mate Duckbone went two weeks without washing - just used Febreze. Job done!

I was sorry to hear you and Keckers had gone your separate ways

along the highway of life.

Dead in the water it was, Yant.

So I'm back in the market.

Listen, I spoke to Karl this morning. I wanted to tell him about us

before someone else did. Oh, dear God!

What did he say?

He said, "Babes, you should definitely shag Jag."

Oh, that's so...

so Karl.

That's them. They're here!

EXCITED CHATTER

APPLAUSE

Oh, here she is!

Stella!

Oh, God, this is so lush!

Oh, I'm in bits!

Cheers!

To the safe return of Stella Jackson.

A wonderful wife.

And mother!

And friend!

And donkey-lover. And nana.

And daughter!

And what-do-you-call.

To Stella!
