1
00:01:59,107 --> 00:02:00,734
What about a pork pie, Mum?

2
00:02:00,734 --> 00:02:03,361
Certainly not, Nigel.
Pork pies are common.

3
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:09,409
- What about some fresh cheese, then?
- Don't be silly, you don't know where it's been.

4
00:02:09,409 --> 00:02:12,996
I'll have some nice Dairylea slices.

5
00:02:12,996 --> 00:02:14,080
Right you are.

6
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:17,292
'My mother was always
averse to fresh produce.

7
00:02:17,292 --> 00:02:22,297
'I'm Nigel, I'm nine years old
and I've never had a vegetable
that didn't come in a tin.'

8
00:02:22,297 --> 00:02:24,549
- Thank you, Mrs Slater.
- Come on, Nigel.

9
00:02:27,844 --> 00:02:31,056
Come on! What on earth
have you been doing?

10
00:02:32,223 --> 00:02:33,892
Oh, come on.

11
00:02:37,604 --> 00:02:41,733
'It must have been
the lack of nutrients that
gave my father his fiery temper.

12
00:02:41,733 --> 00:02:45,362
'He was not a sweet man,
despite a very sweet tooth.'

13
00:02:45,362 --> 00:02:47,447
Not like that, man!

14
00:02:51,743 --> 00:02:56,873
'My mother's sweet nature made up
for her inability to cook,
or even make a sandwich.

15
00:02:59,668 --> 00:03:04,297
'When you're deprived of something,
it just makes you all the more
hungry for it.'

16
00:03:12,597 --> 00:03:16,309
- Can we make the cake, then?
- If we have to.

17
00:03:20,313 --> 00:03:21,815
Oh!

18
00:03:23,316 --> 00:03:24,943
What does that say?

19
00:03:26,861 --> 00:03:30,407
I can't even read this. Right, flour.

20
00:03:32,576 --> 00:03:33,910
16 ounces.

21
00:03:33,910 --> 00:03:34,953
Ooh!

22
00:03:36,371 --> 00:03:38,498
I think that's enough.

23
00:03:38,498 --> 00:03:40,000
Oh, yes, sieve it.

24
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:43,420
And some butter.

25
00:03:43,420 --> 00:03:45,338
Oh.

26
00:03:45,338 --> 00:03:46,840
Mum...

27
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:49,634
Oh, dear. Daddy will be pleased.

28
00:03:49,634 --> 00:03:50,969
Mum, let me do it.

29
00:03:56,933 --> 00:03:59,227
Shh, listen.

30
00:04:14,034 --> 00:04:17,370
Don't worry, we'll cheer it up
with a little icing.

31
00:04:25,045 --> 00:04:26,630
It's not too bad.

32
00:04:31,176 --> 00:04:32,886
Mum, the dinner!

33
00:04:35,013 --> 00:04:37,557
They're all burnt.

34
00:04:37,557 --> 00:04:40,143
I think I'd better make some toast.

35
00:04:52,572 --> 00:04:57,535
'No matter how bad things get,
it's impossible not to love
someone who made you toast.

36
00:04:57,535 --> 00:05:02,040
'Once you've bitten
through that crusty surface
to the soft dough underneath

37
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:05,252
'and tasted the warm, salty butter,
you're lost forever.'

38
00:05:11,591 --> 00:05:12,884
More tea, anyone?

39
00:05:26,773 --> 00:05:28,108
Oh.

40
00:05:31,528 --> 00:05:33,154
Aaah.

41
00:05:34,948 --> 00:05:37,033
Mmm.

42
00:05:41,997 --> 00:05:43,873
Aaah...

43
00:05:43,873 --> 00:05:45,667
- What you doing?
- Oh!

44
00:05:45,667 --> 00:05:48,628
- Nothing.
- Go to sleep, young man.

45
00:06:00,223 --> 00:06:02,183
Aaah.

46
00:06:03,727 --> 00:06:05,687
Oooh.

47
00:06:09,608 --> 00:06:11,443
Mmm.

48
00:06:13,153 --> 00:06:15,280
Right, I'm off.

49
00:06:25,206 --> 00:06:28,418
You don't suppose there's anything
wrong with him, do you?

50
00:06:40,138 --> 00:06:43,224
There you go.
And was it a pound of streaky bacon?

51
00:06:43,224 --> 00:06:44,726
Yes, please.

52
00:06:48,813 --> 00:06:52,776
- There you go, Mrs Patten.
- Thank you.

53
00:06:53,860 --> 00:06:56,446
- Yes, Mr Salt?
- A pound of Caerphilly, please.

54
00:06:56,446 --> 00:06:57,405
Right.

55
00:07:01,201 --> 00:07:02,702
Anything else I can get you?

56
00:07:02,702 --> 00:07:05,664
- Some raspberries, please.
- Right you are.

57
00:07:25,058 --> 00:07:26,601
Hi, Nige.

58
00:07:51,835 --> 00:07:53,545
Let's get to work, then.

59
00:07:56,464 --> 00:07:58,258
'What are you doing?'

60
00:07:58,258 --> 00:08:00,218
Making compost.

61
00:08:02,345 --> 00:08:03,722
What's compost?

62
00:08:05,140 --> 00:08:09,561
Sort of nature's way of melting
everything together.

63
00:08:09,561 --> 00:08:10,604
Come here.

64
00:08:11,855 --> 00:08:13,982
Give us your hand.

65
00:08:13,982 --> 00:08:18,945
- Right, feel that.
- It's hot!
- Cool, eh?

66
00:08:18,945 --> 00:08:22,741
Everything breaking down
lets all the goodness out.

67
00:08:22,741 --> 00:08:25,201
That's what I love about gardens.

68
00:08:25,201 --> 00:08:26,912
What?

69
00:08:26,912 --> 00:08:29,915
They're alive.

70
00:08:29,915 --> 00:08:32,584
- How do you mean, alive?
- Come here.

71
00:08:34,169 --> 00:08:39,424
Right now, there's
100,000 biological reactions
going on all around us.

72
00:08:39,424 --> 00:08:41,885
Thousands of new things being born.

73
00:08:41,885 --> 00:08:46,640
All these smells and tastes -
no wonder it's an assault
on the senses.

74
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:49,768
That's what nature's
all about, ain't it?

75
00:08:49,768 --> 00:08:51,478
What?

76
00:08:51,478 --> 00:08:52,938
Get on.

77
00:08:54,856 --> 00:08:56,900
Right.

78
00:08:56,900 --> 00:08:58,652
Smell this.

79
00:08:58,652 --> 00:09:00,362
Do you know what that's called?

80
00:09:04,783 --> 00:09:06,701
Go on. Have a guess.

81
00:09:06,701 --> 00:09:10,497
- I don't know.
- Well, what does it make you think of?

82
00:09:12,082 --> 00:09:14,918
Parma Violets?

83
00:09:14,918 --> 00:09:18,505
- Pleasure.
- Pleasure?
- Yeah.

84
00:09:18,505 --> 00:09:20,006
Cool, eh?

85
00:09:37,190 --> 00:09:40,527
Can you really eat them like that?
Aren't they dirty?

86
00:09:40,527 --> 00:09:44,864
There's plenty of things they'll tell you is dirty
that won't do you any harm.

87
00:09:44,864 --> 00:09:48,451
- In fact, most of them's good
for you in my opinion.
- Such as?

88
00:09:48,451 --> 00:09:51,329
Gardening.

89
00:09:51,329 --> 00:09:52,539
What do they taste like?

90
00:09:54,958 --> 00:09:57,502
You don't know unless you try.

91
00:09:57,502 --> 00:09:59,629
Please yourself.

92
00:09:59,629 --> 00:10:01,715
Nigel?

93
00:10:01,715 --> 00:10:04,593
Nigel, come on.

94
00:10:07,596 --> 00:10:09,306
A tin of braised beef,

95
00:10:09,306 --> 00:10:12,517
a tin of sponge pudding
and a tin of mixed veg, please.

96
00:10:12,517 --> 00:10:14,394
Can we have spaghetti bolognese?

97
00:10:15,645 --> 00:10:19,024
- I beg your pardon, Nigel?
- Spaghetti bolognese.

98
00:10:19,024 --> 00:10:22,444
It's from Italy.
The sauce comes in a tin.

99
00:10:22,444 --> 00:10:26,031
I wouldn't know how
to cook such a thing.

100
00:10:26,031 --> 00:10:27,407
I'll show you.

101
00:10:27,407 --> 00:10:29,826
Are you sure this is a good idea?

102
00:10:31,119 --> 00:10:32,704
You have to put it IN the pan.

103
00:10:40,879 --> 00:10:42,130
What on earth's this?

104
00:10:42,130 --> 00:10:45,717
- It's spaghetti bolognese. It's Italian.
- Italian?

105
00:10:47,385 --> 00:10:50,972
What the hell's wrong with you,
Nigel? It's rock hard.

106
00:10:50,972 --> 00:10:52,265
It isn't cooked yet.

107
00:10:55,602 --> 00:10:57,812
Stupid idea if you ask me.

108
00:11:02,692 --> 00:11:04,569
See, I told you it wouldn't fit.

109
00:11:09,241 --> 00:11:11,910
- What the hell's this?
- Cheese.

110
00:11:11,910 --> 00:11:14,955
Percy Salt said you have to
put it on or it doesn't work.

111
00:11:16,373 --> 00:11:18,833
- It smells like sick.
- Alan!

112
00:11:23,421 --> 00:11:25,674
I don't think so.

113
00:11:34,516 --> 00:11:36,935
Here goes.

114
00:11:44,109 --> 00:11:46,820
Mmm, it's delicious.

115
00:11:47,904 --> 00:11:49,781
You twiddle it round.

116
00:12:01,459 --> 00:12:03,044
I think it's off.

117
00:12:11,386 --> 00:12:13,930
Nigel, get Mum's bag.

118
00:12:15,432 --> 00:12:16,891
Get Mum's bag!

119
00:12:21,980 --> 00:12:24,107
Well, come on, Nigel!

120
00:12:26,902 --> 00:12:29,070
Stupid boy! Come on.

121
00:13:04,898 --> 00:13:07,567
I think I'd better make some toast.

122
00:13:08,902 --> 00:13:10,654
'I think she's pregnant.'

123
00:13:10,654 --> 00:13:11,738
Pregnant?

124
00:13:11,738 --> 00:13:13,615
It's to do with her breathing.

125
00:13:13,615 --> 00:13:17,661
Breathlessness, nausea. I'm telling
you, it's the same as my mum.

126
00:13:17,661 --> 00:13:20,830
Sick all the time for no reason,
picky with food.

127
00:13:20,830 --> 00:13:22,707
Nine months later, hello!

128
00:13:22,707 --> 00:13:24,668
Out pops our Julie.

129
00:13:24,668 --> 00:13:27,087
How do you think she got pregnant?

130
00:13:27,087 --> 00:13:28,630
For Pete's sake, Nigel.

131
00:13:28,630 --> 00:13:31,258
I don't think they've had...
..sex

132
00:13:31,258 --> 00:13:34,135
for years.
- You'd be surprised.

133
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:38,598
Oh, milk. I think
I'm going to throw up.

134
00:13:38,598 --> 00:13:41,768
Hey, I'll have it if
you're not going to drink it.

135
00:13:41,768 --> 00:13:45,146
- What's it worth?
- I'll show you me knickers.

136
00:13:45,146 --> 00:13:46,815
- I'd let you see my willy.

137
00:13:46,815 --> 00:13:52,612
- What?
- Then if you give me your puddings, I'll give you a feel.

138
00:13:52,612 --> 00:13:54,823
Well, actually,
I go home for dinners.

139
00:13:54,823 --> 00:13:57,409
Well, just bear it in mind
for the future.

140
00:14:01,204 --> 00:14:03,957
Here. You can have it for nowt.

141
00:14:03,957 --> 00:14:05,625
The offer's there, Nigel.

142
00:14:08,587 --> 00:14:11,590
'Josh, how can you tell
if someone's pregnant?'

143
00:14:11,590 --> 00:14:16,219
- Well, you ain't been messing
about with someone, have you?
- Not me, my mum.

144
00:14:16,219 --> 00:14:17,929
Your mum.

145
00:14:17,929 --> 00:14:20,056
She keeps getting sick all the time.

146
00:14:21,766 --> 00:14:24,227
Well, she doesn't
look very pregnant, Nige.

147
00:14:24,227 --> 00:14:26,855
I hope not.

148
00:14:26,855 --> 00:14:29,357
What's wrong with
being pregnant, anyways?

149
00:14:29,357 --> 00:14:30,984
I'm scared that...

150
00:14:32,736 --> 00:14:37,574
...if she goes into hospital, I'll
have to be looked after by my dad.

151
00:14:46,917 --> 00:14:49,002
Oh, no. I'd better go inside.

152
00:14:49,002 --> 00:14:50,712
Why?

153
00:14:50,712 --> 00:14:52,839
I love it when
it rains in the summer.

154
00:14:58,345 --> 00:15:01,264
Anyway, what's
the matter with your dad?

155
00:15:01,264 --> 00:15:03,224
I don't think he likes me.

156
00:15:03,224 --> 00:15:05,977
Don't be daft, what's not to like?

157
00:15:05,977 --> 00:15:08,730
I think he thinks there's
something wrong with me.

158
00:15:27,415 --> 00:15:30,293
You daft bugger! Come on.

159
00:15:30,293 --> 00:15:31,711
Come on, Nige.

160
00:15:47,102 --> 00:15:49,145
Put that on till these dry.

161
00:15:56,319 --> 00:15:58,446
There's nothing wrong
with you, Nigel.

162
00:15:58,446 --> 00:16:01,116
Everything's going to be OK.

163
00:16:04,119 --> 00:16:05,203
Here.

164
00:16:12,544 --> 00:16:13,962
I love a pork pie, me.

165
00:16:20,635 --> 00:16:22,762
Hurry up, Nigel!

166
00:16:22,762 --> 00:16:25,307
Oh, come on, come on!

167
00:16:46,453 --> 00:16:50,916
- Are we nearly there yet?
- Nigel, we haven't even left Wolverhampton yet.

168
00:16:50,916 --> 00:16:53,168
Do we have to go to Penarth?

169
00:16:53,168 --> 00:16:56,296
It's very good for the air.

170
00:16:56,296 --> 00:16:59,424
Just try to enjoy yourself, Nigel.

171
00:16:59,424 --> 00:17:01,051
For your mother's sake.

172
00:17:04,930 --> 00:17:06,765
There's nothing to do in Penarth.

173
00:17:06,765 --> 00:17:08,475
Nonsense.

174
00:17:08,475 --> 00:17:11,978
It's the premier resort
on the Welsh coast.

175
00:17:14,314 --> 00:17:15,899
It could be worse.

176
00:17:15,899 --> 00:17:18,152
They say it's going
to pick up tomorrow.

177
00:17:18,152 --> 00:17:20,070
Oh, struth.

178
00:17:32,082 --> 00:17:34,668
Come on, Nigel. Nigel!

179
00:17:36,253 --> 00:17:38,922
Sit up, Nigel. Tomato, anybody?

180
00:17:40,549 --> 00:17:43,510
You don't have to have salad cream
if you don't want it.

181
00:17:46,889 --> 00:17:50,309
- Do I have to have ham?
Course you bloody well have to have ham!

182
00:17:50,309 --> 00:17:52,644
- You're on holiday.
- Nigel, you like ham.

183
00:17:52,644 --> 00:17:55,939
I know I like ham,
I just don't like the jelly.

184
00:17:55,939 --> 00:18:00,944
- Can't we go and get fish and chips?
- Look, just eat, for God's sake.
For your mother.

185
00:18:06,033 --> 00:18:11,288
Look at that! Absolutely disgusting.
Letting a child run around naked like that.

186
00:18:11,288 --> 00:18:13,999
- I don't see anything wrong with it.
- Don't be stupid, Nigel.

187
00:18:13,999 --> 00:18:17,628
- Loads of people go around naked.
- Don't be ridiculous.

188
00:18:17,628 --> 00:18:19,296
Who have you seen naked?

189
00:18:19,296 --> 00:18:21,173
Josh.

190
00:18:21,173 --> 00:18:24,510
- Josh?
- Oh, my God!
- He was only getting changed.

191
00:18:27,387 --> 00:18:29,640
Has Josh ever...

192
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:34,311
has he ever touched you?
- Alan, Alan...
- Of course he hasn't.

193
00:18:34,311 --> 00:18:36,188
Just eat your ham, Nigel.

194
00:18:36,188 --> 00:18:38,982
We'll forget the whole thing.

195
00:18:40,025 --> 00:18:42,319
Whee! Whee!

196
00:18:42,319 --> 00:18:46,824
- I'm going to have a word with those parents.
- Alan, calm down.

197
00:18:59,461 --> 00:19:01,213
Oh, for Pete's sake!

198
00:19:06,051 --> 00:19:10,889
Oh, come back here,
you stupid, ignorant boy!

199
00:19:14,017 --> 00:19:15,853
Oh, for Pete's sake.

200
00:19:39,543 --> 00:19:43,255
Mum, can I ask you a question?

201
00:19:43,255 --> 00:19:45,174
You're not pregnant, are you?

202
00:19:46,508 --> 00:19:48,510
What on earth makes you ask that?

203
00:19:48,510 --> 00:19:50,679
You keep doing all
that heavy breathing.

204
00:19:53,223 --> 00:19:55,059
It's my lungs, Nigel.

205
00:19:56,894 --> 00:19:59,354
I'm not going to be very well,

206
00:19:59,354 --> 00:20:01,899
maybe for quite a long time.

207
00:20:03,192 --> 00:20:05,861
But you'll be all right
by Christmas, won't you?

208
00:20:07,029 --> 00:20:09,573
I don't know, Nigel.

209
00:20:09,573 --> 00:20:13,368
But you'll still teach me how
to make mince pies, won't you?

210
00:20:13,368 --> 00:20:17,122
- Of course I will.
- Promise?

211
00:20:18,791 --> 00:20:20,292
I promise.

212
00:20:46,485 --> 00:20:51,532
Just because there's something
wrong with her lungs doesn't
mean to say she's not pregnant.

213
00:20:51,532 --> 00:20:53,492
What about Parma Violets?

214
00:20:53,492 --> 00:20:55,953
Don't be stupid,
they're for old people.

215
00:20:55,953 --> 00:21:00,082
Anyway, I'm not interested in
your opinion. I'm going to ask Josh
about it.

216
00:21:00,082 --> 00:21:03,293
- How about some Love Hearts?
- Piss off!

217
00:21:03,293 --> 00:21:04,628
They're for girls.

218
00:21:04,628 --> 00:21:10,050
You fancy that gardener,
don't you? What about some
Pascall's oblong fruit bonbons?

219
00:21:10,050 --> 00:21:13,595
Honestly? They'll put
you in a retirement home.

220
00:21:13,595 --> 00:21:17,224
And, no, I don't, I'm just
interested in gardening, that's all.

221
00:21:17,224 --> 00:21:18,934
Are you bollocks.

222
00:21:18,934 --> 00:21:21,937
All you've ever planted
is a row of radishes.

223
00:21:21,937 --> 00:21:25,983
Anyway, re your mum,
the jury's out in my opinion.

224
00:21:25,983 --> 00:21:27,484
What about barley sugars?

225
00:21:27,484 --> 00:21:30,946
We're not getting barley sugars,
Warrel, we're not going in a car.

226
00:21:32,781 --> 00:21:37,578
I'll buy a packet of Refreshers
and a quart of chocolate limes
so we can burn our tongues!

227
00:21:39,872 --> 00:21:44,710
Yes, boys? A quart of chocolate limes
and a packet of Refreshers, please.

228
00:21:44,710 --> 00:21:46,420
Oh, and a pork pie.

229
00:21:46,420 --> 00:21:48,213
What's the pork pie for?

230
00:22:19,453 --> 00:22:20,496
Who are you?

231
00:22:20,496 --> 00:22:23,499
I'm the new gardener, who are you?

232
00:22:23,499 --> 00:22:28,128
- Where's Josh?
- I don't know. I was just told to come down here
twice a week from now on.

233
00:22:30,089 --> 00:22:35,719
- Well, would you like half a pork
pie? I bought it myself.
- No.

234
00:22:53,737 --> 00:22:56,532
Dad, what have you done to Josh?

235
00:22:56,532 --> 00:22:59,243
I haven't done anything to Josh.

236
00:22:59,243 --> 00:23:01,245
Joshua doesn't work for us anymore.

237
00:23:03,247 --> 00:23:05,416
We have a new gardener, Mr Watford.

238
00:23:05,416 --> 00:23:08,544
- Josh was my friend.
- Joshua is not your friend!

239
00:23:08,544 --> 00:23:12,339
Now, I want you to put Joshua
right out of your mind! Ow!

240
00:23:12,339 --> 00:23:15,551
And I don't want you to ever
mention his name again!

241
00:23:15,551 --> 00:23:18,262
- I want you to take this up to your mother.
- I hate you.

242
00:23:22,057 --> 00:23:24,810
I'm warning you, Nigel...

243
00:23:24,810 --> 00:23:26,562
Now take this up to your mother.

244
00:23:26,562 --> 00:23:30,357
And whatever you do,
don't disturb her.

245
00:24:16,820 --> 00:24:17,905
Thank you.

246
00:24:31,210 --> 00:24:32,920
Dad!

247
00:24:34,421 --> 00:24:37,174
Dad! Dad!

248
00:24:40,344 --> 00:24:43,138
I told you not to disturb her!

249
00:25:13,669 --> 00:25:14,753
Come on.

250
00:25:14,753 --> 00:25:17,089
Let's have a crumpet.

251
00:25:36,859 --> 00:25:40,028
She's not going to be better
for Christmas, is she?

252
00:25:46,326 --> 00:25:48,078
No, son.

253
00:25:55,461 --> 00:25:56,795
Look...

254
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:11,560
What's going to happen to her?
Is she going to be all right?

255
00:26:14,688 --> 00:26:17,274
Nigel, erm...

256
00:26:24,031 --> 00:26:25,908
Everything's going to be fine.

257
00:26:42,299 --> 00:26:43,300
Nigel?

258
00:26:44,593 --> 00:26:45,761
Mum?

259
00:26:45,761 --> 00:26:47,846
Aren't you supposed to be in bed?

260
00:26:47,846 --> 00:26:49,181
I want you to help me.

261
00:26:49,181 --> 00:26:50,474
What with?

262
00:26:50,474 --> 00:26:51,934
Mince pies.

263
00:26:53,060 --> 00:26:54,937
It's not even Christmas yet.

264
00:26:54,937 --> 00:26:56,688
Doesn't matter.

265
00:26:56,688 --> 00:26:59,358
Now you do it.

266
00:27:02,736 --> 00:27:04,029
- Oh, Mum...
- All right.

267
00:27:04,029 --> 00:27:05,114
It's all right.

268
00:27:05,114 --> 00:27:06,740
Just stick it back down there.

269
00:27:06,740 --> 00:27:08,659
No one will know.

270
00:27:12,079 --> 00:27:13,747
It's going to be so tasty.

271
00:27:13,747 --> 00:27:15,749
That's perfect.

272
00:27:15,749 --> 00:27:18,127
Here we are. Now we cut them out.

273
00:27:25,634 --> 00:27:28,554
- Nigel...
- Mmm-hmm?

274
00:27:31,724 --> 00:27:34,852
- I love you.
- I love you too, Mum.

275
00:27:40,774 --> 00:27:43,944
- Now all we need is the mincemeat.
- I'll get it.

276
00:27:54,580 --> 00:27:59,001
- I can't see it.
- It's in there somewhere, Nigel, I know
it's in there somewhere.

277
00:27:59,001 --> 00:28:00,711
Don't worry. I'll find it.

278
00:28:08,552 --> 00:28:11,263
I don't understand. It must be
in there somewhere.

279
00:28:13,223 --> 00:28:17,227
- It has to be here. I'm sure it's here.
- It's not.

280
00:28:17,227 --> 00:28:18,604
Let me see.

281
00:28:22,107 --> 00:28:23,817
I asked your father specially.

282
00:28:27,071 --> 00:28:28,697
I'm sorry, Nigel.

283
00:28:30,824 --> 00:28:32,493
You said you'd teach me.

284
00:28:32,493 --> 00:28:34,119
Well...

285
00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:36,080
We'll put them in the fridge

286
00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:39,666
and we'll get some tomorrow
from Percy Salt's. But you promised!

287
00:28:39,666 --> 00:28:42,628
You're going to leave me
with him, aren't you?

288
00:28:45,172 --> 00:28:47,299
- It's not fair!
- Nigel...

289
00:28:47,299 --> 00:28:48,425
Come here...

290
00:28:48,425 --> 00:28:51,136
- I hate you!
- Come here, come here.

291
00:28:51,136 --> 00:28:52,763
All right. You're hopeless!

292
00:28:52,763 --> 00:28:54,390
I hope you die!

293
00:29:05,901 --> 00:29:10,072
All right, all right, all right.

294
00:29:10,072 --> 00:29:11,615
Shh.

295
00:29:16,036 --> 00:29:17,329
Shhh.

296
00:29:23,210 --> 00:29:26,672
All right.

297
00:29:36,807 --> 00:29:42,521
- What's that?
- It's a stocking, Nigel.
- But there's still a month to go.

298
00:29:42,521 --> 00:29:47,067
We thought we'd give you
your presents early this year.
As a special treat.

299
00:29:47,067 --> 00:29:49,445
We thought we'd open them
in the morning.

300
00:29:49,445 --> 00:29:53,031
I don't want them in the morning.
It'll spoil Christmas.

301
00:29:53,031 --> 00:29:54,158
Nigel, please!

302
00:29:58,203 --> 00:30:00,122
Your mother asked me specially.

303
00:30:02,791 --> 00:30:06,086
OK. I suppose so.

304
00:30:07,713 --> 00:30:10,215
So, you're not going
to tell me off, then?

305
00:30:10,215 --> 00:30:13,844
No, I'm not going to tell you off.

306
00:30:13,844 --> 00:30:16,597
But you mustn't open them
until Mum is there.

307
00:30:19,391 --> 00:30:20,517
Night-night.

308
00:30:20,517 --> 00:30:21,643
Night-night.

309
00:31:44,226 --> 00:31:45,769
Daddy?

310
00:33:41,051 --> 00:33:45,222
'With Mum gone, things in the culinary department
did not get any better,

311
00:33:45,222 --> 00:33:50,352
'and after months of cheese on toast, Dad decided
to be more adventurous.'

312
00:33:55,566 --> 00:33:56,692
Ah!

313
00:34:02,614 --> 00:34:04,074
Ahh!

314
00:34:06,660 --> 00:34:09,079
Damn it!

315
00:34:09,079 --> 00:34:10,706
Ah.

316
00:34:10,706 --> 00:34:11,957
Oh! Ow!

317
00:34:17,921 --> 00:34:20,299
It's disgusting.

318
00:34:20,299 --> 00:34:23,010
- You haven't even tried it.
- It's not even cooked.

319
00:34:26,055 --> 00:34:28,223
Look, Nigel, just eat it.

320
00:34:28,223 --> 00:34:33,020
There are kids in Biafra
who'd give their right arm
for a Fray Bentos pie.

321
00:34:41,528 --> 00:34:44,114
- Eat your pie.
- No.

322
00:34:45,783 --> 00:34:49,119
- Eat your pie, Nigel.
- I won't.

323
00:34:50,537 --> 00:34:53,123
I'm warning you.

324
00:35:14,686 --> 00:35:17,231
- No!
- That's it!

325
00:35:17,231 --> 00:35:19,233
- Eat the bloody pie!
- No!

326
00:35:19,233 --> 00:35:20,859
- Eat it!
- No!
- Eat the pie!
- No!

327
00:35:38,210 --> 00:35:42,339
- Maybe it's supposed to be like that.
- Warrel, it was completely raw!

328
00:35:42,339 --> 00:35:43,841
Don't worry about it.

329
00:35:43,841 --> 00:35:46,593
My mum's no great shakes
in the kitchen either.

330
00:35:46,593 --> 00:35:51,014
At least she's not dead.
I wish I came from a normal family.

331
00:35:51,014 --> 00:35:54,226
Nigel, normal families
are totally overrated.

332
00:35:54,226 --> 00:35:56,687
You'll probably grow up
to be interesting.

333
00:35:56,687 --> 00:35:58,897
I don't want to be interesting.

334
00:35:58,897 --> 00:36:01,358
I just want him to like me.

335
00:36:02,651 --> 00:36:04,945
If you want to soften him up a bit,

336
00:36:04,945 --> 00:36:08,240
you can't expect
something for nothing.

337
00:36:08,240 --> 00:36:13,328
Remember, the way to a man's heart
is always through his stomach.

338
00:36:13,328 --> 00:36:15,664
Really? I'm telling you.

339
00:36:15,664 --> 00:36:19,334
My dad's putty in Mum's fingers
once he's had his toad-in-the-hole.

340
00:36:30,471 --> 00:36:34,099
- Ah, now, there you go, this is for you.
- Thank you.

341
00:36:34,099 --> 00:36:35,934
That's for me. Thank you very much.

342
00:36:35,934 --> 00:36:38,312
Now then, can I help you, son?

343
00:36:38,312 --> 00:36:42,316
I'll have two pieces
of smoked haddock, please.
It's my dad's favourite.

344
00:36:42,316 --> 00:36:47,154
- Don't you want something for your mum?
- She's dead.
- OK.

345
00:36:48,989 --> 00:36:51,075
That'll be two and six, sunshine.

346
00:36:53,535 --> 00:36:55,829
I've only got this.

347
00:36:55,829 --> 00:36:57,623
Could you cut a bit off, please.

348
00:36:57,623 --> 00:37:00,084
It's all right, son;
you can have the tail bit on me.

349
00:37:01,752 --> 00:37:04,922
Um... How do you cook it?

350
00:37:04,922 --> 00:37:06,465
Warm the grill first.

351
00:37:06,465 --> 00:37:10,386
Rub it with a bit of butter
and put it on just before
you're going to eat.

352
00:37:10,386 --> 00:37:13,555
- Ten minutes, absolute max, understood?
- Thank you.

353
00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:28,338
- Where have you been?
- Nowhere.

354
00:38:28,338 --> 00:38:32,843
Just got a little detained
at the factory, Nigel.

355
00:38:39,266 --> 00:38:42,311
- Did you cook this?
- It's ruined.

356
00:38:55,532 --> 00:38:57,659
No, it's not.

357
00:38:59,912 --> 00:39:01,497
It's just how I like it.

358
00:39:01,497 --> 00:39:03,248
No, it isn't. It's bad.

359
00:39:05,459 --> 00:39:09,004
Mmm. Look, Dad,
you don't have to eat it.

360
00:39:09,004 --> 00:39:11,256
No, really, Nigel.

361
00:39:11,256 --> 00:39:13,300
It's delicious.

362
00:39:19,681 --> 00:39:22,101
'You see, I told you it'd win him over.'

363
00:39:22,101 --> 00:39:25,020
Haddock's a very superior fish, Nigel.

364
00:39:25,020 --> 00:39:29,650
- I really don't think he liked it.
- It takes some time, bonding.

365
00:39:29,650 --> 00:39:31,527
Especially now your mum's dead.

366
00:39:31,527 --> 00:39:34,947
I'm telling you,
you'll be inseparable shortly.

367
00:39:34,947 --> 00:39:37,074
Nothing will get between yous.

368
00:39:46,291 --> 00:39:47,835
Slater!

369
00:39:49,253 --> 00:39:50,796
Where is your milk?

370
00:39:52,047 --> 00:39:54,466
Come out to the front.

371
00:40:00,597 --> 00:40:03,100
Where is your milk?

372
00:40:03,100 --> 00:40:04,977
I drank it, Miss.

373
00:40:04,977 --> 00:40:06,854
No, you did not.

374
00:40:06,854 --> 00:40:12,192
I've watched you give it to
Leonard Watson every day this week.
I want you to drink it now.

375
00:40:14,570 --> 00:40:18,323
I have to warn you, Miss,
I have a serious aversion
to dairy products.

376
00:40:18,323 --> 00:40:23,078
Drink it now, Slater!
It's good for you!

377
00:40:23,078 --> 00:40:24,413
OK, then.

378
00:40:36,383 --> 00:40:38,844
You see? It wasn't that bad.

379
00:40:52,191 --> 00:40:54,068
Sit down.

380
00:40:58,697 --> 00:41:01,075
Nice one, Slater.

381
00:41:07,706 --> 00:41:10,626
Bleedin' hell.
I'll be all afternoon on this.

382
00:41:13,212 --> 00:41:18,342
- What a bloody awful state this is in. When was
the last time you cleaned in here?
- Who are you?

383
00:41:18,342 --> 00:41:22,638
Hmm? New cleaner. Who's it bleedin'
well look like? Joan of Arc?

384
00:41:22,638 --> 00:41:26,558
Whoever cleaned inside of here
made a right pig's ear of it.

385
00:41:29,019 --> 00:41:30,729
Does my dad know you're here?

386
00:41:30,729 --> 00:41:35,567
No, I broke in and thought
I'd scrub the kitchen floor clean!
Bugger off!

387
00:41:35,567 --> 00:41:39,363
I ain't got all day to stand round
talking to you. Snotty little brat.

388
00:41:45,828 --> 00:41:49,540
Bugger. I'll be on me knees
all night getting this off.

389
00:41:49,540 --> 00:41:51,458
Mrs Potter.

390
00:41:51,458 --> 00:41:54,753
- Hmm?
- Oh! You're still here.

391
00:41:54,753 --> 00:41:56,922
Oh, Mr Slater.

392
00:41:56,922 --> 00:41:59,258
I thought you was out at work
at this time.

393
00:41:59,258 --> 00:42:02,261
- I see you've met Nigel.
- Oh, yes.

394
00:42:02,261 --> 00:42:07,057
I think we're going to get along like
a house on fire, aren't we, Nige?

395
00:42:07,057 --> 00:42:09,351
'I didn't expect Mrs Potter
to last long.

396
00:42:09,351 --> 00:42:14,898
'My father wasn't usually one to associate himself
with people who wore Crimplene.

397
00:42:14,898 --> 00:42:18,736
'But I was soon
to be proved wrong.'

398
00:43:39,441 --> 00:43:45,697
'And so it was, Mrs Potter became a regular part
of my father's routine.

399
00:43:45,697 --> 00:43:49,910
'She scrubbed, polished and
bleached her way into our lives.'

400
00:43:53,705 --> 00:43:57,751
- Are you still here?
- No.

401
00:43:57,751 --> 00:44:00,212
I'm at home, doing me ironing!

402
00:44:00,212 --> 00:44:03,841
- What ARE you doing?
- I'm darning your father's socks.

403
00:44:03,841 --> 00:44:08,011
- What are you doing that for?
- They have holes in them.

404
00:44:08,011 --> 00:44:10,222
You're only supposed to do
the cleaning.

405
00:44:10,222 --> 00:44:13,434
Where would we be if we only did
what we were supposed to do?

406
00:44:13,434 --> 00:44:16,186
I thought you'd be pleased
I'm looking after him.

407
00:44:16,186 --> 00:44:18,689
I know what you're up to,
so just...off his socks.

408
00:44:18,689 --> 00:44:22,109
Listen, Nigel.

409
00:44:22,109 --> 00:44:26,155
Look, I know you miss your mother and
everything, but if there's a hole,

410
00:44:26,155 --> 00:44:31,326
sweetheart, somebody is going to
darn it, and it might as well be me.

411
00:44:31,326 --> 00:44:36,081
You're wasting your time.
I mean, you're far too common,
and anyway, you're married.

412
00:44:36,081 --> 00:44:38,459
All I'm doing is darning his socks!

413
00:44:38,459 --> 00:44:40,711
Anyway, it's got nothing
to do with you.

414
00:44:40,711 --> 00:44:45,549
Just because you can sew up
his clothes doesn't mean
you're anything like my mother!

415
00:44:45,549 --> 00:44:49,845
- Forget it! He's never going to be interested in you!
- Ah, Mrs Potter.

416
00:44:49,845 --> 00:44:55,100
-You're here rather late again.
- That's all right, Alan. I just thought I'd do your socks for you.

417
00:44:55,100 --> 00:44:56,977
Oh, really, you shouldn't have.

418
00:44:56,977 --> 00:44:58,687
That's beyond the call.

419
00:44:58,687 --> 00:45:00,481
Oh, it's nothing, you know.

420
00:45:00,481 --> 00:45:03,150
Got to keep your toes warm!

421
00:45:03,150 --> 00:45:08,322
Oh, by the way, baked you
a little something for your supper.

422
00:45:08,322 --> 00:45:10,574
Oh, really, Mrs Potter!

423
00:45:10,574 --> 00:45:14,787
- It's an apple pie!
- Well, I just thought you boys
need a bit of looking after.

424
00:45:14,787 --> 00:45:16,622
Oh, that's very kind.

425
00:45:16,622 --> 00:45:18,332
Isn't it, Nigel?

426
00:45:19,458 --> 00:45:24,046
- Oh, that smells delicious.
- Oh, it's just something I knocked up.

427
00:45:24,046 --> 00:45:26,715
Anyway, must be going.

428
00:45:26,715 --> 00:45:29,551
Here, that'll stop you
sticking through.

429
00:45:31,053 --> 00:45:34,848
- Maybe I could offer you a lift home.
- Aren't you going to eat the pie?

430
00:45:34,848 --> 00:45:39,144
Well actually, you should probably let it cool.
Don't want to burn your lips, do you?

431
00:45:39,144 --> 00:45:42,314
No, it's no bother.
I'll get the bus.

432
00:45:42,314 --> 00:45:45,859
No, really, really,
it's the least I can do.

433
00:45:45,859 --> 00:45:48,445
Oh, well, if you insist.

434
00:45:48,445 --> 00:45:50,948
You'll be right, Nigel, won't you?

435
00:45:53,075 --> 00:45:55,411
See you, flower.

436
00:45:55,411 --> 00:45:57,496
I won't be long.

437
00:45:57,496 --> 00:45:59,498
Let me get the door. Thank you.

438
00:46:15,264 --> 00:46:18,475
'There's no denying Mrs Potter made
a decent apple pie.

439
00:46:18,475 --> 00:46:20,811
'In fact,
it was better than decent.

440
00:46:20,811 --> 00:46:25,065
'It was sublime,
and one of the most glorious things
I'd ever put in my mouth.'

441
00:46:34,199 --> 00:46:38,162
- What's the matter?
- You're wearing my mum's apron!

442
00:46:38,162 --> 00:46:41,415
What do you want me to wear?
An evening gown?

443
00:46:41,415 --> 00:46:46,295
- Would you like to help me bake a cake?
- You shouldn't be wearing it. It's not yours.

444
00:46:46,295 --> 00:46:48,338
All right!

445
00:46:48,338 --> 00:46:50,424
Keep your hair on, bugger-lugs.

446
00:46:50,424 --> 00:46:51,884
It's only an apron.

447
00:46:54,261 --> 00:46:57,389
Does your husband know
that you're cooking our suppers?

448
00:46:57,389 --> 00:47:00,851
Look, don't patronise me, son.

449
00:47:00,851 --> 00:47:04,980
Just because I don't talk all bay-window,
doesn't mean I'm a fool, you know.

450
00:47:04,980 --> 00:47:09,234
You're a child. You know nothing
about what people go through.

451
00:47:17,159 --> 00:47:18,744
Here's the apron.

452
00:47:18,744 --> 00:47:22,790
Wouldn't have thought
you were so sentimental about it,

453
00:47:22,790 --> 00:47:24,708
from what I've heard of her cooking.

454
00:47:31,173 --> 00:47:33,342
You'll have to put yourself to bed.

455
00:47:33,342 --> 00:47:36,512
- Where are you going?
- Out!

456
00:47:36,512 --> 00:47:38,514
You're going with her, aren't you?

457
00:47:40,766 --> 00:47:43,185
It's just to a whist drive.

458
00:47:43,185 --> 00:47:46,438
- I have to have some life of my own.
- With Mrs Potter?

459
00:47:49,483 --> 00:47:52,194
It's just a social occasion.

460
00:47:52,194 --> 00:47:54,405
Please, Dad,
don't leave me on my own.

461
00:47:56,824 --> 00:47:59,201
You'll be fine, Nigel.

462
00:50:38,527 --> 00:50:40,362
'Hello.

463
00:50:42,030 --> 00:50:46,994
'Joan, is that you?
Is Joan Potter there?'

464
00:52:13,997 --> 00:52:18,794
- I don't see why she has to come.
- Look, there's nothing wrong with me
inviting Mrs Potter.

465
00:52:18,794 --> 00:52:21,255
This is the Masonic event
of the season.

466
00:52:21,255 --> 00:52:22,965
Dad, she's our cleaner.

467
00:52:22,965 --> 00:52:25,175
I mean, look where she lives.

468
00:52:25,175 --> 00:52:28,554
- Look, Joan has been very good to us.
- She lives in a council house.

469
00:52:28,554 --> 00:52:32,349
- Where she lives is of no consequence.
- It's not right.

470
00:52:32,349 --> 00:52:37,104
She should be inside
with her husband, not coming out
with us to Masonic dances.

471
00:52:37,104 --> 00:52:39,773
You're the one who didn't want
to be left on their own!

472
00:52:39,773 --> 00:52:45,028
Now, you don't understand anything
about Mrs Potter's personal arrangements.

473
00:52:45,028 --> 00:52:47,156
Anyway, she's got nothing to hide.

474
00:52:47,156 --> 00:52:49,032
She's a very respectable woman.

475
00:52:50,534 --> 00:52:52,453
Bugger, bugger, bugger.

476
00:52:54,496 --> 00:52:56,874
Bleedin' duck.

477
00:53:11,263 --> 00:53:14,349
I've laddered me tights
on that bleedin' wall. Bugger.

478
00:53:14,349 --> 00:53:18,312
Come on, darling. Let's get
a move on before anyone clocks us.

479
00:53:20,147 --> 00:53:23,358
- Oh, hello, Nigel.
- Hello.
- Well, how lovely.

480
00:53:23,358 --> 00:53:25,402
The three of us all together.

481
00:53:41,251 --> 00:53:45,339
Hello. Have you met Joan?
Joan Potter. Ruby Sturridge.

482
00:53:45,339 --> 00:53:47,674
- Nice to meet you.
- She's our cleaner.

483
00:53:47,674 --> 00:53:49,009
Oh.

484
00:53:58,394 --> 00:54:00,104
Oh, yes.

485
00:54:00,104 --> 00:54:02,523
I find Vim a very superior scourer.

486
00:54:02,523 --> 00:54:07,277
Though I've been very impressed
with the new version of Mr Sheen.
Do you know of it?

487
00:54:07,277 --> 00:54:09,738
Don't you find aerosols
so very convenient?

488
00:54:09,738 --> 00:54:12,616
Compared to Jif Cream
they really are superb.

489
00:54:12,616 --> 00:54:16,203
I use bicarb on milk stains. Only
thing that gets rid of the stench.

490
00:54:16,203 --> 00:54:19,164
Nothing worse than curdled milk
sweating away in the carpets.

491
00:54:19,164 --> 00:54:23,544
No. Trust me, you've got a spillage,
bicarb is the way to go.

492
00:54:23,544 --> 00:54:26,046
Joan, do eat.

493
00:54:26,046 --> 00:54:28,424
- No, watching me weight.
- Can I have yours?

494
00:54:41,603 --> 00:54:46,900
Yes, we were at
Alderman Cartwright's
for a function, only recently.

495
00:54:46,900 --> 00:54:51,280
Oh, yes? I know the person
that cleans for him, of course.

496
00:54:51,280 --> 00:54:54,116
Not great personal hygiene...

497
00:54:54,116 --> 00:54:56,201
or so they tell me.

498
00:54:56,201 --> 00:54:58,495
Very rarely cleans his windows.

499
00:55:00,664 --> 00:55:02,750
Oh, Brian. Excuse me.

500
00:55:02,750 --> 00:55:04,710
I do mine meself, of course.

501
00:55:04,710 --> 00:55:09,131
Can't beat a chamois leather.
Never be without my Windolene.

502
00:55:09,131 --> 00:55:14,219
- Do you have a favourite disinfectant, Mrs Sturridge?
- I can't say I know.

503
00:55:14,219 --> 00:55:17,765
I'd have to ask Mrs Miller,
our housekeeper.

504
00:55:17,765 --> 00:55:20,768
Oh.

505
00:55:20,768 --> 00:55:23,562
You might want to ask her
to take a look at that stain.

506
00:55:23,562 --> 00:55:27,357
- Although not much is going to get that out.
- Oh, bugger!

507
00:55:28,609 --> 00:55:30,319
Would you like to dance?

508
00:55:30,319 --> 00:55:32,154
I'd love to. Come on.

509
00:55:32,154 --> 00:55:33,655
Hang on.

510
00:55:35,574 --> 00:55:38,535
Bit of Dutch.

511
00:55:38,535 --> 00:55:40,120
Won't be long.

512
00:55:56,220 --> 00:55:58,806
He must pay very good overtime.

513
00:56:00,516 --> 00:56:05,187
Do you know, I've never seen
your Dad dance before.

514
00:56:05,187 --> 00:56:09,483
- That's probably a blessing.
- Do you think I should try and stop them?

515
00:56:09,483 --> 00:56:11,276
There's very little you can do.

516
00:56:11,276 --> 00:56:15,489
She might be common, but
there's nothing she doesn't know
about cleaning products.

517
00:56:15,489 --> 00:56:18,826
If I was you,
I'd just try to enjoy the food.

518
00:56:42,850 --> 00:56:45,811
Mind you, they had lovely flowers
in the ladies loo.

519
00:56:47,563 --> 00:56:50,607
I think it was to cover
the smell of the urinals.

520
00:56:50,607 --> 00:56:53,235
But what a fantastic time, eh?

521
00:56:54,695 --> 00:56:57,239
Thanks for coming, Joan.

522
00:56:57,239 --> 00:56:59,992
No, thank you.

523
00:57:03,829 --> 00:57:06,373
Is this all right for you here?

524
00:57:06,373 --> 00:57:10,335
Yeah. Best be on the safe side.

525
00:57:10,335 --> 00:57:15,632
See you, flower.
Are you all right, love?

526
00:57:15,632 --> 00:57:18,594
I'm fine. Please, just go home, Mrs Potter.

527
00:57:18,594 --> 00:57:22,389
Yeah, I will. I'll go home.

528
00:57:35,110 --> 00:57:37,237
Would you get in the front now,
Nigel?

529
00:57:41,408 --> 00:57:43,577
What do you think of Joan,
then, Nigel?

530
00:57:43,577 --> 00:57:46,330
Mrs Potter?

531
00:57:46,330 --> 00:57:49,917
I think in some ways
she's quite like your mother.

532
00:57:49,917 --> 00:57:52,711
She's nothing like my mother.

533
00:57:54,797 --> 00:57:56,465
Look, Nigel...

534
00:57:58,175 --> 00:58:00,219
I loved your mother.

535
00:58:00,219 --> 00:58:04,056
And I will always love your mother.

536
00:58:04,056 --> 00:58:06,225
But sometimes things change.

537
00:58:07,935 --> 00:58:09,395
Life moves on.

538
00:58:11,271 --> 00:58:15,943
- We have to accept that.
- I don't mind change.

539
00:58:15,943 --> 00:58:19,696
I don't mind moving on.
I just don't like Mrs Potter.

540
00:58:19,696 --> 00:58:22,116
Give her a chance.

541
00:58:22,116 --> 00:58:25,285
You don't know what it's like
on those estates.

542
00:58:30,541 --> 00:58:33,544
I don't care where she comes from.

543
00:58:33,544 --> 00:58:35,129
I just hate her.

544
00:58:35,129 --> 00:58:36,672
I just...

545
00:58:39,675 --> 00:58:43,220
Oh, for Pete's sake.

546
00:58:47,850 --> 00:58:50,185
Oh!

547
00:59:00,320 --> 00:59:02,322
She was dancing with your Dad?

548
00:59:02,322 --> 00:59:05,701
- I think she'd have been kissing him if I
hadn't been there.
- Urgh.

549
00:59:05,701 --> 00:59:08,746
Maybe it's just a phase,
cos he's upset about your mum.

550
00:59:08,746 --> 00:59:14,334
I don't even think
he thinks about her any more.
Plus, she's a brilliant cook.

551
00:59:14,334 --> 00:59:16,003
I wouldn't worry about it.

552
00:59:16,003 --> 00:59:22,009
- Her husband will find out, thump your Dad and get
another cleaner.
- You reckon?

553
00:59:22,009 --> 00:59:24,136
That's what happened
to Uncle Harry.

554
00:59:24,136 --> 00:59:28,390
- So, you don't think it's serious, then?
- Don't be stupid.

555
00:59:28,390 --> 00:59:30,893
You've got absolutely nothing
to worry about.

556
00:59:30,893 --> 00:59:34,229
Come on, Nigel!

557
00:59:34,229 --> 00:59:36,231
Where are we going?

558
00:59:36,231 --> 00:59:37,858
You'll see.

559
00:59:37,858 --> 00:59:39,318
It's a surprise.

560
00:59:56,960 --> 01:00:02,091
Nigel, I know it's been difficult
since your mum died,

561
01:00:02,091 --> 01:00:05,552
but you've been very patient,

562
01:00:05,552 --> 01:00:07,679
haven't you?
- Are we nearly there yet?

563
01:00:07,679 --> 01:00:09,765
And it's just, I've been thinking...

564
01:00:12,101 --> 01:00:17,439
..it might be better for all of us
if we made a new start of everything.

565
01:00:17,439 --> 01:00:19,983
What do you mean, "a new start"?

566
01:00:19,983 --> 01:00:25,531
Well, it's just...
since your mum died,

567
01:00:25,531 --> 01:00:29,493
everything got off
on the wrong footing.

568
01:00:29,493 --> 01:00:33,497
- That's all.
- So we can get a new cleaner?

569
01:00:33,497 --> 01:00:36,125
No, no, we don't need a new cleaner.

570
01:00:37,710 --> 01:00:42,381
Joan is not the...
Mrs Potter is not the problem here.

571
01:01:01,024 --> 01:01:02,901
Is this it?

572
01:01:04,361 --> 01:01:05,946
It's beautiful, isn't it?

573
01:01:07,573 --> 01:01:11,160
Imagine living here. No neighbours.

574
01:01:11,160 --> 01:01:15,622
Perfect seclusion.
Wonderful country views.

575
01:01:15,622 --> 01:01:19,835
- Dad, what's going on?
- Nothing, nothing. Only saying.

576
01:01:19,835 --> 01:01:24,173
- It's got a septic tank and everything.
- Dad, who lives here?

577
01:01:25,507 --> 01:01:27,468
Well, actually...

578
01:01:27,468 --> 01:01:29,011
we do.

579
01:01:29,011 --> 01:01:32,765
What do you mean?! All the stuff's
coming this afternoon.

580
01:01:32,765 --> 01:01:35,559
But what about school?
What about Warrel?

581
01:01:35,559 --> 01:01:38,896
- I mean, it's miles from anywhere.
- You'll get used to it, Nigel.

582
01:01:38,896 --> 01:01:42,900
I don't want to get used to it.
We can't move here.

583
01:01:42,900 --> 01:01:46,945
- What about Mrs Potter?
- Look, everything's going to be
all right, Nigel.

584
01:01:46,945 --> 01:01:49,281
It's not the end of the world.

585
01:01:49,281 --> 01:01:52,409
What could possibly be worse
than moving here?

586
01:01:52,409 --> 01:01:55,245
Ah! Nigel! Woo-hoo!

587
01:01:55,245 --> 01:01:56,663
Sweetie!

588
01:01:56,663 --> 01:01:58,373
Say hello to your Auntie Joan.

589
01:01:58,373 --> 01:02:00,876
You can call me Joanie,
if you like.

590
01:02:11,428 --> 01:02:13,180
Agh!

591
01:02:13,180 --> 01:02:15,641
I knew it was a bad idea
not to tell him.

592
01:02:17,559 --> 01:02:19,353
I'll deal with this.

593
01:02:54,012 --> 01:02:58,016
Look, I know this is all
a bit of a shock for you.

594
01:02:58,016 --> 01:03:00,144
I know it's very hard.

595
01:03:00,144 --> 01:03:01,937
I can never replace your mother.

596
01:03:07,526 --> 01:03:10,738
But I know what it feels like
to be alone.

597
01:03:14,950 --> 01:03:17,411
I'm not your enemy, Nigel.

598
01:03:17,411 --> 01:03:21,582
I want to put all that
bad feeling behind us,

599
01:03:21,582 --> 01:03:24,460
make a fresh start here,

600
01:03:24,460 --> 01:03:26,045
the three of us.

601
01:03:30,174 --> 01:03:32,426
Mmm?

602
01:03:32,426 --> 01:03:34,053
Give us a chance here.

603
01:03:35,888 --> 01:03:37,931
Come on.

604
01:03:37,931 --> 01:03:40,768
We can make this work.

605
01:03:40,768 --> 01:03:42,061
Together.

606
01:03:44,063 --> 01:03:47,649
No! You're our cleaner, for God's
sake, just go back to Wolverhampton!

607
01:03:47,649 --> 01:03:51,153
Now, you listen here,
you spoilt little brat,

608
01:03:51,153 --> 01:03:55,407
I have given up everything to come
here and look after you, all right?

609
01:03:55,407 --> 01:03:58,285
I will be lynched if I ever
go back to Wolverhampton.

610
01:03:58,285 --> 01:04:00,079
So, let's cut the dogs doo-da, hey?

611
01:04:00,079 --> 01:04:03,165
You're just going to have to
sodding well get used to it,

612
01:04:03,165 --> 01:04:07,086
or I'll make your every waking hour
a complete blinking misery! Capiche?

613
01:04:07,086 --> 01:04:08,921
Everything all right?

614
01:04:08,921 --> 01:04:13,133
Yeah! Course, darling!

615
01:04:16,512 --> 01:04:19,264
I think we've sorted everything out,
haven't we, Nigel?

616
01:04:34,738 --> 01:04:38,784
She may not be your mother, Nigel,
but she's a bloomin' good cook.

617
01:04:38,784 --> 01:04:42,830
Well, as they used to say
in Wolverhampton, bon appeti-ti!

618
01:04:53,048 --> 01:04:56,093
Well, as they used to say
in Wolverhampton, bon appeti-ti!

619
01:05:14,027 --> 01:05:16,613
All done?

620
01:05:16,613 --> 01:05:19,950
That was absolutely delicious,
darling.

621
01:05:21,493 --> 01:05:23,746
Nigel, help Joan with the dishes.

622
01:05:23,746 --> 01:05:28,375
- I've got a book to finish for school.
- No buts, Nigel, give Joan a hand.

623
01:05:42,890 --> 01:05:47,770
- Oh, Nigel Slater, nice bag!
- Give it back!

624
01:05:47,770 --> 01:05:51,690
Now,
as it's the start of a new term,
you all need to pick one option.

625
01:05:54,151 --> 01:05:56,236
Slater, pay attention.

626
01:05:56,236 --> 01:05:58,906
Now, hands up for woodwork.

627
01:06:02,201 --> 01:06:04,286
Home economics.

628
01:06:10,417 --> 01:06:13,003
Are you serious?

629
01:06:15,255 --> 01:06:22,012
Ah, are you going to have them later
with your mummy and daddy?

630
01:07:08,142 --> 01:07:10,352
Oh, hello, Nigel.

631
01:07:10,352 --> 01:07:13,313
- What are you doing in there?
- Nothing.

632
01:07:20,779 --> 01:07:22,614
Absolutely delicious.

633
01:07:22,614 --> 01:07:25,868
- What's for afters?
- How about a scone?

634
01:07:25,868 --> 01:07:27,995
A scone?

635
01:07:27,995 --> 01:07:29,913
And a nice cup of tea?

636
01:07:29,913 --> 01:07:31,915
Is he OK?

637
01:07:34,334 --> 01:07:39,006
- Where the hell did they come from?
- Made them, earlier.

638
01:07:39,006 --> 01:07:41,383
What do you mean,
you made them, earlier?

639
01:07:41,383 --> 01:07:45,721
At school. Taste one.
But I've made a gooseberry fool.

640
01:07:45,721 --> 01:07:46,847
I'm sure it'll keep.

641
01:08:00,027 --> 01:08:01,987
Actually, they're not half bad,
Nigel.

642
01:08:06,492 --> 01:08:08,827
Excellent effort.

643
01:08:08,827 --> 01:08:13,040
Does this mean you'll be doing the
cooking every Wednesday from now on?

644
01:08:13,040 --> 01:08:15,834
Yes. It does, actually.

645
01:08:18,796 --> 01:08:23,467
Well done, Nigel. Mmm!

646
01:08:23,467 --> 01:08:28,430
Yeah, well done, son.

647
01:08:28,430 --> 01:08:30,432
Well done.

648
01:08:37,648 --> 01:08:41,151
Oh, very good work, Nigel!

649
01:08:41,151 --> 01:08:45,906
Oh, dear, that's very
sloppy, I'm afraid. Now,
this is why we should have put...

650
01:08:59,211 --> 01:09:03,006
What's all this? It's a Wednesday,
I've made a shepherd's pie.

651
01:09:03,006 --> 01:09:07,177
Oh, I'm sorry, love, completely
forgot. Oh, well, never mind.

652
01:09:07,177 --> 01:09:09,972
Mmm, looks delicious, darling.

653
01:09:09,972 --> 01:09:14,601
Pop it in the fridge.
I'm sure it'll keep, sweetheart.

654
01:09:44,882 --> 01:09:47,009
Oh, hello, Nigel. I've made a trifle.

655
01:09:47,009 --> 01:09:48,510
Oh, Nigel, we ate early.

656
01:09:48,510 --> 01:09:51,430
Yeah, but there's some lemon meringue
on the side there.

657
01:09:51,430 --> 01:09:54,516
That was the best lemon meringue pie
I have ever tasted.

658
01:09:54,516 --> 01:09:58,020
Oh, thank you, I'll have to
make it on a regular basis!

659
01:10:33,097 --> 01:10:37,434
That's the best lemon meringue
you've ever tasted.

660
01:10:37,434 --> 01:10:40,771
That's the best lemon meringue
anybody's ever tasted.

661
01:10:42,314 --> 01:10:44,900
If I was you, son, I'd give up.

662
01:10:46,443 --> 01:10:48,570
You'll never even be in the vicinity.

663
01:10:50,697 --> 01:10:53,158
What did you put in there
to make it so fluffy?

664
01:10:55,619 --> 01:11:00,874
If you want to make a lemon meringue,
sunshine, you're going to have
to get your own recipe.

665
01:11:36,201 --> 01:11:38,954
You really have to go home now,
Nigel.

666
01:12:10,736 --> 01:12:13,197
Don't you have some homework to do?

667
01:12:19,787 --> 01:12:23,582
Bugger off. More creamed potato?

668
01:12:23,582 --> 01:12:26,543
No, sweetheart, I'm s...I'm stuffed.

669
01:12:26,543 --> 01:12:29,755
I spent all afternoon on this.

670
01:12:29,755 --> 01:12:33,884
Erm, all right,
then just a little bit.

671
01:12:47,272 --> 01:12:50,442
Oh, I made your favourite
for afters - lemon meringue pie.

672
01:13:34,653 --> 01:13:36,739
Dad. What's that?

673
01:13:36,739 --> 01:13:38,365
- It's a lemon meringue.
- What?

674
01:13:38,365 --> 01:13:39,992
I made it for you specially.

675
01:13:39,992 --> 01:13:42,494
- What for?
- To eat. For a snack.

676
01:13:42,494 --> 01:13:45,080
I don't want a snack,
we just had our tea.

677
01:13:45,080 --> 01:13:47,624
But I thought you loved
lemon meringue pie.

678
01:13:47,624 --> 01:13:51,628
- I couldn't eat anything now.
- Anyway, I've got a Victoria sponge I made earlier.

679
01:13:53,255 --> 01:13:56,467
But it's freshly baked, Dad.

680
01:13:56,467 --> 01:14:01,555
Nigel, look, I appreciate the effort
but I'm not even remotely hungry.

681
01:14:01,555 --> 01:14:05,559
- Just try it.
No!
- I know that you'll like it.
- Nigel, please.

682
01:14:05,559 --> 01:14:07,144
Take it away.

683
01:14:44,181 --> 01:14:46,308
That's my recipe.

684
01:14:46,308 --> 01:14:47,935
You bleeding well stole this.

685
01:14:47,935 --> 01:14:51,230
No, I didn't.
I invented that myself.

686
01:14:51,230 --> 01:14:52,856
Mine's even got peel in it.

687
01:14:52,856 --> 01:14:55,984
I cook for you, I clean for you,

688
01:14:55,984 --> 01:15:00,656
I look after your every bleeding need
and this is how you repay me?

689
01:15:00,656 --> 01:15:03,742
Get off my patch, matey,

690
01:15:03,742 --> 01:15:08,956
cos I do the lemon meringues around
here, you ungrateful little turd.

691
01:15:08,956 --> 01:15:12,126
I think you're getting this out of perspective.

692
01:15:12,126 --> 01:15:16,046
- He didn't even try any.
- Perspective? I'll give you a bleeding perspective.

693
01:15:17,631 --> 01:15:19,675
And you can clean that up!

694
01:15:21,927 --> 01:15:24,513
What on earth did you say to her?

695
01:15:24,513 --> 01:15:27,266
I didn't say anything, she's mad.
You have to get rid of her, Dad.

696
01:15:27,266 --> 01:15:29,977
I've asked Mrs Potter to marry me.

697
01:15:29,977 --> 01:15:32,312
- Marry you?
- You're going to have to accept that.

698
01:15:32,312 --> 01:15:34,940
- Or?
- Or we're going to have to put you into care.

699
01:15:38,318 --> 01:15:42,573
We can't go on like this. Joan....

700
01:16:00,257 --> 01:16:05,220
Thanks for the cake, Nigel.
A lovely gesture.

701
01:16:07,306 --> 01:16:12,352
Yeah, it's really not that bad
for a first attempt.

702
01:16:12,352 --> 01:16:13,771
Everybody loves the food.

703
01:16:13,771 --> 01:16:15,689
My meat puffs
are going like hot cakes.

704
01:16:15,689 --> 01:16:18,108
Not much of a crowd.

705
01:16:18,108 --> 01:16:20,611
It's good that Sheila's shown up.

706
01:16:20,611 --> 01:16:23,113
Would you like a vol-au-vent?
I made them myself.

707
01:16:23,113 --> 01:16:25,032
Are you all right, Dad?

708
01:16:25,032 --> 01:16:27,826
Yes, just a bit...tight that's all.

709
01:16:27,826 --> 01:16:32,331
Funny, it was all right
at the fitting. Oh!

710
01:16:35,376 --> 01:16:37,920
Hey, you must be pleased
to have a new mum.

711
01:16:37,920 --> 01:16:39,922
Not really.

712
01:16:39,922 --> 01:16:44,093
She might have a heart of ice, son,
but she puts on a damn fine spread.

713
01:16:44,093 --> 01:16:47,262
Her husband's lost two stone
since she moved out.

714
01:16:47,262 --> 01:16:48,931
That'll do for later.

715
01:16:54,853 --> 01:16:57,398
An absolute nightmare,

716
01:16:57,398 --> 01:17:01,235
but a bloody good baker, I think
she could've been a professional.

717
01:17:01,235 --> 01:17:02,861
I made this, actually.

718
01:17:04,571 --> 01:17:08,200
Well. if it all gets too much, son,
you can always go into catering.

719
01:17:15,374 --> 01:17:17,501
Wait, wait! No, no, no, no, no.

720
01:17:17,501 --> 01:17:21,714
What are you doing? No, Alan, no!

721
01:17:21,714 --> 01:17:23,632
No, you can't do that!

722
01:17:23,632 --> 01:17:25,342
No, come on, get up there.

723
01:17:26,969 --> 01:17:28,929
Let's get you up to the bedroom.

724
01:17:28,929 --> 01:17:32,933
That's where we can, you know,
get your old pyjamas on. Good man.

725
01:17:32,933 --> 01:17:35,227
Come on, Mrs Slater.

726
01:17:39,273 --> 01:17:40,774
Come on!

727
01:17:40,774 --> 01:17:43,485
Come on, up we get.

728
01:18:32,618 --> 01:18:35,662
- 16?
- I'm only looking for a Saturday job.

729
01:18:35,662 --> 01:18:38,457
I just want to get out
of the house, really.

730
01:18:38,457 --> 01:18:43,253
I'm very good, honest.
I've read the complete works of
Marguerite Patten and everything.

731
01:18:46,673 --> 01:18:48,675
Duck a l'orange,

732
01:18:48,675 --> 01:18:54,223
boeuf bourguignon, veal cordon bleu,
that's the most expensive.

733
01:18:54,223 --> 01:18:57,351
You can feel the duck
because of the bones.

734
01:18:57,351 --> 01:19:00,979
This is sophisticated cooking, Nigel.

735
01:19:00,979 --> 01:19:04,358
So this is where the magic happens.

736
01:19:04,358 --> 01:19:06,193
Whack it up, bung it in, 20 minutes.

737
01:19:06,193 --> 01:19:10,072
Now, if it hasn't got a label on,
just chuck it in anyway.

738
01:19:10,072 --> 01:19:15,119
Now, I know it all seems a bit complicated at first
but you'll soon get the hang of it.

739
01:20:15,054 --> 01:20:17,139
Who was that?

740
01:20:17,139 --> 01:20:19,183
The owner's son from upstairs.

741
01:20:19,183 --> 01:20:24,772
You want to watch him. Apparently,
he's training to be a ballerina.

742
01:20:41,830 --> 01:20:45,084
- Really, I can't eat these.
- I just cooked them.

743
01:20:45,084 --> 01:20:47,211
Well, we just had supper
an hour ago.

744
01:20:47,211 --> 01:20:50,214
Just leave them there.
You might get peckish.

745
01:20:54,968 --> 01:20:57,888
Oh, please, try to relax, dear.

746
01:21:10,901 --> 01:21:14,279
- What are you doing?
- Oh nothing, just watch the telly, don't mind me.

747
01:21:14,279 --> 01:21:16,156
Where have you been?

748
01:21:16,156 --> 01:21:18,075
Nowhere. Out with some mates.

749
01:21:18,075 --> 01:21:20,953
You haven't got any mates.

750
01:21:20,953 --> 01:21:23,539
I got a part time job helping
out at the Green Dragon.

751
01:21:23,539 --> 01:21:26,542
- What, the pub with the restaurant?
- Just on Saturdays.

752
01:21:28,836 --> 01:21:31,839
- How much are they paying you?
- She didn't say.

753
01:21:34,383 --> 01:21:37,845
I thought you'd be pleased I was out
from under your feet for a bit.

754
01:21:37,845 --> 01:21:39,847
Uh-huh, yeah.

755
01:21:39,847 --> 01:21:41,974
No, you don't.

756
01:21:41,974 --> 01:21:45,394
Do you think I'm stupid?
Do you think I was born yesterday?

757
01:21:45,394 --> 01:21:47,646
I know what you're up to.

758
01:21:47,646 --> 01:21:51,108
Well, two can play
at that game, sunshine.

759
01:21:51,108 --> 01:21:53,068
I'll give you boeuf bourguignon.

760
01:21:53,068 --> 01:21:56,405
Tomorrow, we'll have duck a l'orange
or should it be coq au vin?

761
01:21:56,405 --> 01:21:59,533
And then some moules mariniere.
Oh yeah, I can do foreign muck, as well.

762
01:21:59,533 --> 01:22:02,536
- And that's just for starters.
- Joan!
- I don't know what you're on about.

763
01:22:02,536 --> 01:22:06,248
Quiches, tortes, omelettes,
seafood, souffles, the bleeding lot.

764
01:22:06,248 --> 01:22:08,375
In fact, I think I'll just
rustle up a tarte tatin.

765
01:22:08,375 --> 01:22:11,211
That's a caramelised apple pie
in case you're wondering!

766
01:22:11,211 --> 01:22:13,172
Just stop it!

767
01:22:13,172 --> 01:22:15,215
Enough is enough.

768
01:22:15,215 --> 01:22:18,719
Enough fighting, enough food.

769
01:22:21,221 --> 01:22:25,142
Will you just please try to get on?

770
01:22:27,686 --> 01:22:29,688
This is miserable.

771
01:22:45,329 --> 01:22:46,914
I'm sorry, Dad.

772
01:22:51,168 --> 01:22:53,670
Oh, just go away, Nigel.

773
01:23:32,042 --> 01:23:34,336
Are you all right?

774
01:23:34,336 --> 01:23:36,004
Er, yes.

775
01:23:36,004 --> 01:23:40,676
Yes...perfectly fine.

776
01:23:40,676 --> 01:23:43,178
Thanks very much.

777
01:23:43,178 --> 01:23:45,764
Thank you.

778
01:24:08,662 --> 01:24:10,706
Mavis!

779
01:24:10,706 --> 01:24:12,207
Hello?

780
01:24:15,502 --> 01:24:17,296
You're Nigel, aren't you?

781
01:24:17,296 --> 01:24:20,174
The Fanny Cradock of Knightswick Lane.

782
01:24:20,174 --> 01:24:23,135
Not any more. My dad stopped me coming.

783
01:24:23,135 --> 01:24:25,763
To be honest, I only came to get
out of the house.

784
01:24:25,763 --> 01:24:30,392
- Though I think I'd like to be a cook eventually.
- How come you know so much about it?

785
01:24:30,392 --> 01:24:31,685
I don't, really.

786
01:24:31,685 --> 01:24:35,105
My granny was French, I just picked
a few things up on holiday.

787
01:24:35,105 --> 01:24:37,566
They've got a very good attitude, the French.

788
01:24:37,566 --> 01:24:40,652
- Like Marguerite Patten.
- Marguerite Patten is from High Barnet.

789
01:24:40,652 --> 01:24:45,366
They follow their instincts.

790
01:24:45,366 --> 01:24:47,159
Let's get out of here.

791
01:24:47,159 --> 01:24:52,831
That's the trouble with everyone
round here, they're all so hidebound.

792
01:24:52,831 --> 01:24:55,793
If you don't get out,
you'll turn into your parents.

793
01:24:56,877 --> 01:24:58,796
How long have you lived here?

794
01:24:58,796 --> 01:25:02,549
A few years.
We moved from Wolverhampton.

795
01:25:02,549 --> 01:25:05,719
Oh, the culinary capital
of the Midlands!

796
01:25:05,719 --> 01:25:07,805
What made you want to be a chef?

797
01:25:07,805 --> 01:25:11,683
Don't know, really. I just like it.

798
01:25:11,683 --> 01:25:13,477
Somehow it feels quite natural.

799
01:25:13,477 --> 01:25:16,939
How did you know you wanted to
be a ballet dancer?

800
01:25:16,939 --> 01:25:22,152
I don't. I only agreed to go down
there so I could get away from them.

801
01:25:22,152 --> 01:25:24,363
So you don't want
to be a ballet dancer?

802
01:25:24,363 --> 01:25:27,741
God, no. I don't have
a clue what I want to be.

803
01:25:32,579 --> 01:25:36,291
- How the hell do you stand it here?
- I don't have much choice.

804
01:25:37,876 --> 01:25:39,920
You've every choice in the world.

805
01:25:39,920 --> 01:25:45,509
You just got to be brave.
You can be anything you want to be.

806
01:25:45,509 --> 01:25:49,972
- Do you think?
- Sure.

807
01:25:49,972 --> 01:25:51,598
If you've got the nerve.

808
01:25:53,517 --> 01:25:56,103
You just have to be prepared
to risk something.

809
01:26:25,132 --> 01:26:27,634
See?

810
01:26:27,634 --> 01:26:29,762
You can be anything
you want to be.

811
01:26:31,472 --> 01:26:34,475
Come on, Elizabeth David,
we better be getting back.

812
01:26:40,439 --> 01:26:41,899
Stuart!

813
01:26:44,151 --> 01:26:46,070
Wait!

814
01:26:50,199 --> 01:26:51,575
Stuart!

815
01:26:53,660 --> 01:26:54,912
- See you.
- Come on!

816
01:26:56,121 --> 01:27:00,459
- Can I see you tomorrow?
- Tough tits, big ears.

817
01:27:00,459 --> 01:27:04,463
I've got to be in White Lodge in the
morning. What? Term starts on Monday.

818
01:27:04,463 --> 01:27:08,675
Come on! Don't worry, sweetheart,
you'll find someone else
to play with.

819
01:27:08,675 --> 01:27:11,720
Please. Don't leave me here alone.

820
01:27:17,810 --> 01:27:19,686
You'll be all right, Nige.

821
01:27:30,906 --> 01:27:34,076
- Who's that?
- That's Nigel. He used to work in
the restaurant.

822
01:27:47,506 --> 01:27:50,592
Dad?! Hello?

823
01:27:56,932 --> 01:27:59,852
I told him to leave it.
I told him we'd get a gardener.

824
01:27:59,852 --> 01:28:03,105
I said leave it till next week.

825
01:28:05,149 --> 01:28:06,817
He hadn't even eaten properly.

826
01:28:06,817 --> 01:28:10,696
- What's happened?
- I told him, Nigel. I told him. He just wouldn't listen.

827
01:28:10,696 --> 01:28:13,198
Mrs Potter, what's going on?

828
01:28:13,198 --> 01:28:14,825
He's gone.

829
01:28:14,825 --> 01:28:19,371
One minute he was there with the
mower, and the next minute he wasn't.

830
01:28:19,371 --> 01:28:21,415
What do you mean "he's gone"?

831
01:28:23,584 --> 01:28:25,252
He's dead, darling.

832
01:28:28,797 --> 01:28:31,633
We're on our own now, son.

833
01:28:33,218 --> 01:28:34,803
Oh, my poor darling.

834
01:28:37,139 --> 01:28:40,476
Don't worry. I'll look after you.

835
01:28:40,476 --> 01:28:43,270
We're going to
get through this together.

836
01:28:43,270 --> 01:28:45,355
We'll both cook together.

837
01:28:45,355 --> 01:28:47,941
Lovely, healthy dishes.

838
01:28:47,941 --> 01:28:52,988
We'll cook a lemon meringue.
Every year. In commemoration.

839
01:29:07,544 --> 01:29:09,505
You did this.

840
01:29:55,843 --> 01:29:58,929
Nigel! Nigel!

841
01:30:02,641 --> 01:30:05,394
Nigel! Let me in!

842
01:30:08,480 --> 01:30:13,694
Please, Nigel! Open the door!
Talk to me! Nigel!

843
01:30:16,822 --> 01:30:19,908
Nigel, come on, son!

844
01:30:19,908 --> 01:30:21,618
Let me in, love.

845
01:30:21,618 --> 01:30:25,456
Son, come on!

846
01:30:28,208 --> 01:30:32,421
- I brought you a cup of tea and a nice bit of cake.
- I don't want it.

847
01:30:32,421 --> 01:30:36,884
And I don't have to have it.
I don't want you in my life any more

848
01:30:36,884 --> 01:30:40,721
Aw, no, you're just upset.
What you doing?

849
01:30:40,721 --> 01:30:43,599
Nigel. Talk to me, son.

850
01:30:43,599 --> 01:30:45,726
Talk to me!

851
01:30:47,061 --> 01:30:50,981
You won.
I don't have to see you ever again.

852
01:30:52,524 --> 01:30:54,902
- I'm your mother!
- You're nobody.

853
01:30:57,279 --> 01:30:59,365
No, wait! Stop!

854
01:31:00,824 --> 01:31:06,205
You're too young! I'm ordering you!
Nigel! Slater! Stop this right now!

855
01:31:06,205 --> 01:31:08,082
I said now!

856
01:31:09,708 --> 01:31:12,294
Nigel, you can't leave me on me own here!

857
01:31:12,294 --> 01:31:14,922
You're the only thing I've got!

858
01:31:14,922 --> 01:31:18,342
I'll make up for everything.
I'll cook anything you want me to.

859
01:31:18,342 --> 01:31:21,637
Please, Nigel, say something to me.

860
01:31:21,637 --> 01:31:23,389
Thank you.

861
01:31:23,389 --> 01:31:27,184
What do you mean, thank you?

862
01:31:27,184 --> 01:31:29,645
What do you mean, thank you?!

863
01:31:31,438 --> 01:31:34,441
What do you mean?!

864
01:31:34,441 --> 01:31:38,904
Nigel! Come back, Nigel!

865
01:31:38,904 --> 01:31:41,031
Nigel Slater! Come back here now!

866
01:31:48,539 --> 01:31:51,375
- So, how old are you really?
- 17.

867
01:31:51,375 --> 01:31:54,336
- But you have worked in a kitchen?
- Yeah.

868
01:31:54,336 --> 01:31:56,255
I do a very good lemon meringue.

869
01:31:56,255 --> 01:31:58,549
That's what they all say, sunshine.

870
01:32:06,181 --> 01:32:09,143
- All right, you're on.
- Are you sure?

871
01:32:25,075 --> 01:32:28,162
You're going to be fine.
You're really going to be fine.
