Couldn't you have gone before?

I'll call you back. We have a situation.

Put your dog on the lead!

Come on. It's alright.

She'll stick with me. Plenty of room for your dog to pass.

Haven't you got a lead?

It's not her causing the ruckus.

All the same.

Wouldn't have hurt to put him on a lead.

- Huh. - Huh.

Come here...

Come here.

Wait!

There's no need to interrupt your walk.

They'll be OK. Just need time to get to know each other.

Your guy just wants to show her who's boss.

- Must you? - Down.

There.

They just need time.

Come on. Henry.

Come on, Tillie.

- You're late today. - Work.

Huh. Here, Ruby. Come on.

I suppose you want one and all, eh?

- Thought you'd retired. - I did too.

I had to go back. Grandson at uni.

It's tough for 'em. You know, all them debts.

Oh, I better catch the dog up.

I'll see you later, Dave. 'Bye.

See you, Bob.

Hello, Henry. Where did you pop up from?

- Henry, come here! - Where's your missus got to?

- Henry! - No worries. He's no trouble.

They're friends now.

- Can I give him a treat? - I don't think so.

Well, if you must.

Come on. Come on, Henry. Oh, there you go.

Go off and play. Go on.

- Are you always here? - Yeah, usually at this time.

Out here on the fields. Do you know King George's Fields?

- No. - Lot of people don't.

They're lovely.

Come on. I'll show you.

It's alright. I believe you.

Here.

- Come on. Good boy. - Oh, whoa.

Wow.

Better get back soon.

- Do you live local? - Uh, not far.

Finchley.

Thought I'd try bringing him up here.

- More space to run. - Yeah, we're lucky.

We got all this, the woods, the golf course too.

I don't like the woods. Well, not on my own.

Must be different for a woman.

Though you do get lots brave it with their dogs.

Got to get back.

Suits me.

- Come on, Tillie! - Henry!

- Come on! - Come on.

Good boy.

Sorry about the other day.

So you should be.

Big dogs make a person nervous.

Those guard dogs get treated bad to make them nasty.

This one wouldn't hurt a flea.

Well, yeah, I can see that now.

Her name's Tillie. Go on, give her a stroke.

Hey.

Tillie.

- This one's Henry, right? - Yeah.

Can't imagine how you knew.

Come on.

'Bye, Henry.

You here tomorrow?

Come on.

OK if we walk with you?

It's a free country.

He's a Yorkie, right?

Mostly.

- How old? - Three.

She's nine. I think she is.

She's a rescue dog, so we never knew.

I give her organic food.

You pay a bit more,

but the dogs are less whiffy around the house.

She eats healthier than I do.

I must pong to high heaven.

My husband took him to classes,

and then he... got busy and had to stop.

She was a right wallflower at the start.

It took her ages to get used to other dogs.

She never had a litter, sadly. But there you go.

I wouldn't say she was unfulfilled.

I haven't had him done yet.

- Good for you. - I know I should, but...

Let him keep his crown jewels as long as there's no trouble.

That's me and men. I'm a soft touch.

Give us your paw. Hold your horses.

There's enough clay to make a set of dinner plates

stuck between your toes.

Phew! It's parky in here.

Think I'll leave on my coat, eh?

Save on the heating.

Who's that now?

Are you expecting anybody?

I know I'm not.

Stay.

I just got in with the dog. You nearly missed us.

Sign here, please.

I'm not sure I want this letter.

Chasing me for rent. Do I have to accept it?

No, I suppose not.

Then you would have missed us.

They'll only try again tomorrow.

Get back in the kitchen. Look at the mess you're making.

OK, give us it here.

No point in putting off the evil day.

- Cheers. - Thanks.

Do you know good kennels?

I've got to go away in a few months,

and the last kennel I put him in, he hated.

I'll ask around.

Don't put him in a kennel if you can help it.

Can't you take him with you?

My daughter's getting married. She lives in the Canaries.

- Ah, right. - Marrying a Spaniard.

Bless.

I'm nervous enough about meeting his family

without having to worry about the dog.

Oh, I wish I knew some Spanish.

- I speak Spanish. - Really?

Yeah. Cleaner taught me.

- I'll bet she did. - It wasn't like that.

I could take the dog probably when you go.

Oh, thanks. That's kind.

But let's see nearer the time.

- What do you do? - Did. I was a nurse.

Mental health.

My wife was too. Intensive care.

Bit more high-powered.

- How about you? - Uh, receptionist.

- Part-time. - Nice.

At a natural therapy centre.

I work mornings, so...

Both in the health trade, then.

- Ooh! - Wish I'd brought me brolly.

Ah, it's only rain.

Oh.

Can't talk now, love. I'll call you later.

No, not now. Really.

I'll call you. Promise.

My daughter.

Come on.

Oh, this is nice.

I didn't realise what I was missing!

I'd have put my boots on, though.

I'll need to get some proper walking boots.

Whoa!

♪ Mud, mud, glorious mud

♪ There's nothing quite like it for cooling the blood... ♪

♪ So follow me, follow

♪ Down to the hollow

♪ And there let us wallow

♪ In glorious mud. ♪

Flanders and Swann. I loved that as a kid.

Children's favourite.

- Before my time. - A likely story!

So, what was your favourite?

I don't know.

The woods.

Just listen to the woods.

Can't get better than that.

Here you go, Tillie.

Fetch!

Whoo! Fetch!

"Qué tal?" Go on, say it.

Do I have to?

Qué tal?

It means "How's it going?" Now the whole thing.

- Hola. - Buenos días.

- Qué tal? - Muy bien. Gracias, señorita.

Oh, 'señorita'!

My arse!

Here we go!

Here. Come here. Come here.

Come here.

No!

Don't think that dog's gonna save you.

No! Ow!

I surrender!

Truce.

I see you've got a wedding band.

Where's your wife? Doesn't she ever walk Tillie?

Not now. She's gone.

What, left you?

Passed on.

Oh, sorry.

- Long ago? - Couple of years.

- That must be hard. - Yes.

I thought about you yesterday.

I came upon a homeless guy

collapsed on a bench by the green.

Dead, drunk - I wasn't sure.

What, and he reminded you of me? Oh, thanks very much!

No, no. Just...

I didn't know whether to get involved or not.

I thought, "I wish I was walking with Henry's mistress.

"She'd tell me what to do."

Really?

His pulse was all over the place so I just called the ambulance.

Well, lucky for him. Don't think I'd have been as generous.

So, what about you? You married?

Sorry, it's none of my business.

No, he... he did leave me, a few months ago,

for a younger model.

- You're young enough. - Oh, no, it's alright.

He wasn't a very nice man, as it turned out.

He was my second. She's welcome to him.

She's his secretary. How's that for a cliché?

Are they both going to the wedding?

Oh, he thinks he's running the show.

Ouch.

I should take you,

as my fancy man.

That'd take the wind out of his sails.

Oh. I'm sorry.

I don't think that came out right.

This is NOT about you. It's about him.

He still thinks he owns me.

Do you want to come back for a cuppa?

I could use a toilet.

And you, Henry.

There you go.

- Is that her? - Uh-huh.

She looks nice.

Are those your kids?

That's them. Boy's in Australia.

Him and his boyfriend came over in the summer.

Nice fella.

It's the girl that gives us the grief.

Are those her kids?

That's right. Grandkids.

Rafe and Sylvie. Light of my life.

I help out when she lets it.

She runs a tight ship, my daughter.

I hope you like it strong.

Shall we go through?

You warm enough? I've put the heating on.

Yeah, I'm fine.

I can't keep calling you "Henry's mistress".

I like it.

It's kind of raunchy.

Henry, come!

What's your mistress's name?

I've got her number.

All I need is a name to go with it.

Fern. It's Fern.

Nice name.

Unusual.

And you're... David?

David to the council. Dave to you.

Hello, Dave.

Fern, do you play draughts?

You think you're gonna win, don't you?

You've got another thing coming.

Uno, dos, tres.

- Oh! - Gotcha!

Oi, belt up, you.

Just 'cause I beat your mistress.

I better go, before I thrash you.

Likely story.

I won't be there tomorrow.

Uh, I've got to see someone.

Wait, your girlfriend, is it? Your mystery caller?

It's nothing like that.

See you the day after?

Good boy. Come on!

In you go.

Fern?

Thanks for the tea.

Where's your little buddy, eh?

Ah, good girl.

It's chilly today.

Let's get this over with. I'm knackered.

Have you seen that woman with the little Yorkie? Henry?

Not today. Maybe she's been and gone.

Cheers, Dave.

- Hola. - Hola.

Come on.

Thought you'd given up coming this way.

- Did I put you off? - Don't be daft.

I've hardly been out. I've had a cold.

You've missed some lovely days.

Story of my life.

I was thinking about going back to walking in Finchley.

No, don't do that. Not on our account.

We won't get in your way, if you'd rather walk on your own.

I get these moods. I just...

I just kind of lose faith.

I'll keep an eye out. Dodge the bullet.

I don't like mysteries, Dave.

No. I understand.

Uh...

Ask me a question in Spanish.

- Qué? - Bad taste. Never mind.

You alright, Dave?

It's alright, Tillie. Come on.

Fern, this is Bob and Ruby.

Bob, this is Fern and Henry.

- Hello, Ruby. - Henry.

That the dog you were talking about the other week?

Fuck off, Bob.

Oh. Oh.

Um, I better get back.

- Nice to meet you. - And you.

'Bye, Ruby.

Come on, Ruby.

You got any other children?

A son. Lives in Devon.

He did a lot of drugs.

He's clean now, thank goodness. Got a job.

No steady girlfriend as far as I know,

but we live in hope.

That's it.

It's not how we thought it was gonna be, is it?

That's for sure.

Come on.

Hey, good boy.

Hi, Dave. Come in! Hello!

Hi!

Oh.

These are for you. And treats for Henry.

Oh, thank you! Ooh, dark chocolate.

How did you know? Let me take your jacket.

That's it.

Now, then, you go on in.

And I'll make some tea.

And, Tillie, Tillie, you come with me to the kitchen

and you can share Henry's treats.

Yes, come on.

Good girl.

Come on, Henry. Henry, quickly.

There we are.

Nice cup of tea.

Good. Good.

Is that your daughter?

- Yes. - Pretty.

Full of life, like her mum.

Maybe once.

Canaries? It's not that far.

Not these days.

It's quicker than getting to Skegness.

Think of the holidays you'll have.

Did I say the wrong thing?

Take no notice. I get like this.

I'll pour your tea.

Nice place.

Making the most of it while I can.

He's given me six months. Then it goes on the market.

What are you gonna do?

Oh, buy a flat if I can with my share,

or buy a house somewhere near my son.

- Would your son like that? - Probably not.

He worries I'll set him off.

I've seen it happen.

How about some cake?

Do you want to walk a bit quicker?

Well, I was going slow because you were.

I like a brisk walk.

I get cold if it's too slow.

- Circulation not what it was. - Come on, then.

Hurry up!

This is our 12th walk together.

- You've been counting? - I must have.

Oh, it's not the same, though, is it?

- All the houses. - It's fine.

We should go on a proper country walk for our 13th.

- The dogs would like that. - I'd like that too.

Oh, could we hold up a minute?

Oh. Oh!

Oh, first couple of walks,

I was scared to death of Tillie.

You didn't show it.

I was scared of you too, if it comes to that.

And now?

I'm only scared of you.

Can we walk a bit slower?

Come on.

Come on, kids.

- Hi there! - Hello!

- Morning, all. - Come on.

- Hello! - Hi.

- Hello. - This is Rafe.

This is Sylvie. They're explorers.

Ooh, that's handy. Right, climb aboard.

In you go. I'm Fern.

And that's Henry in the boot.

He's an explorer too.

Take the bag, kids.

- You got your belts on OK? - Yes.

Come on, Tillie. Get in. Get your tail in.

I've got plenty of sandwiches.

I've got a ton.

We won't go hungry, then.

It's lovely.

Thank God for the green belt, eh?

Come on, Tillie!

We did a lot of camping when the kids were little.

Camping and caravan.

We did package holidays.

Yeah, we were lucky to be able to afford them, I suppose.

I'm not complaining.

We had a lot of fun.

Did you come here with your wife?

Yes.

Yes, we did.

You're missing her?

I miss those times.

They don't come back, do they, except in memories.

- Got plenty of them. - Come on, Tillie.

Got to keep making new ones.

That's what I say to myself.

Keep living while we can.

Grandpa, look.

- These are for you. - Oh, thank you, darling!

- And for you. - Oh, thank you!

Mmm! Oh, lovely.

I'll remember this.

- Hola. - Hola.

You need to learn the Spanish way.

What? Two more of those, is it?

No Henry?

Uh, I fed him before I came out. He'll be OK for an evening.

Here's my contribution.

- Oh. - Hello, Tillie.

Hello, beautiful.

Oh, hello.

Come through.

Oh, thank you. Come on.

Romantic. I'm not sure I'm ready for that.

No pressure. I just think they look nice.

Hola. Jamaican jerk chicken.

Like my wife made, only less spicy.

- Wine? - Oh, er, just half a glass.

Thank you.

I once had Bajan chicken with Cliff Richard

at an after-show party he hosted.

Cliff Richard? Blimey, you get about.

Well, I was a dancer once.

And a singer.

In the chorus. I was, um, a Tiller Girl.

Sunday night at the London Palladium.

Well, don't look so shocked!

I... I was young once.

Who'd have known? A Tiller Girl.

So, you've met them, all these stars?

Yeah. I met a lot. Well, you couldn't help it.

Fancy that.

Five minutes ago you were a lady with a little dog.

- Now... - Don't get carried away.

I never got famous.

Cheers.

Still, the Palladium.

Has to beat the night shift at Whipps Cross

with the self-harmers.

Don't be so sure.

Mmm. Looks good.

Since you're a dancer...

A long time ago.

You don't lose it, though.

- Come on. - No, no, no, no.

Let's see what you're made of.

Just a slow one to start.

- Must we? - We must.

Wow!

One, two, cha, cha, cha.

One, two, cha, cha, cha.

Cha, cha, cha.

Cha, cha, cha!

OK, that's the warm-up.

- Are you ready? - Oh, no!

I'm not stripping off!

♪ Come on, everybody! ♪

♪ Hey! ♪

Cha, cha, cha!

Yeah!

Do you want to stay over?

Not for sex, just for the company.

To have you there in the morning when I wake up would be special.

What do you think?

I've got work in the morning, and then there's Henry.

No worries. Sorry, I... I should have thought.

Bit sudden. Give me time.

I've not felt this clumsy since I was a teenager.

I'll probably be kicking myself when I get home.

I'll be lying there lonely as a bat in hell, kicking myself.

Oh, no. Not you. Get back in the house.

- 'Bye. - 'Bye.

Thank you for a nice evening.

I really enjoyed myself.

I'm glad.

- Sorry if I... - It's OK.

Are you OK?

I'm more than OK.

Let's video-call. I'd like to see you.

Really?

We could try.

I'll video-call you.

- Is it working? - That's it. Lovely.

No improper suggestions, now.

As if I would. Here's a proper one.

Sing me a song.

What?!

Oh, Dave, you don't know what you're asking.

I haven't sung in ages.

Go on. Pretend you're in the bath.

I was never a stripper!

You know what I mean.

You caught me cold, Dave.

Another time.

Whenever you're ready.

I'll say goodnight now, Dave.

Goodnight, Fern.

See you on the fields.

Thanks for calling, Fern.

- 'Bye. - 'Bye.

Oh, I'm confused, Dave.

I don't know how to do this anymore.

In my courting days,

the rule for us girls was to hold back

and keep them wanting more.

Give them hope enough to stay involved,

but make sure you always remain one up.

I've been on the wrong end of that one

more times than I care to remember.

Well into my 40s, I reckon.

The rule on our side was to do our best

to persuade them to let us into their skirts.

I can see where you lot were coming from.

I don't want to be like that with you.

If I take it slow, it's not to be playing silly buggers.

- You understand? - Yes.

It's because I seriously like you.

But I was bitten before

and I need to protect myself.

I'm serious too, Fern.

I never imagined.

Dave...

What was that last bit?

I want things to be clear between us.

I need you to meet someone.

Someone important to me.

Someone you should have met before.

Hello, Dave.

Hello, love.

How are you?

Marcy. This is my friend, Fern.

The one I told you about, with the little dog.

Tillie's friend.

Fern, this is Marcy.

My wife.

Nice to meet you. How do you do?

She's been here two years.

It's not bad as these places go.

Wait here. I'll fetch the dogs.

I took care of her for as long as I could.

Three years.

But it got too much. My heart started playing up.

It's alright. It's only Tillie. Your Tillie.

Used to take her to the shops, church, everywhere.

OK, come on.

Sit down here. Sit down here.

We'll take the dogs away. Be back in a mo.

How could you do that to me?

Put me in that position?

It wasn't personal, her not shaking your hand.

She doesn't know what it means.

I don't give a monkey's about that!

You land a wife on me out of nowhere.

How could you keep that from me?

You lied to me.

The whole time, every bloody walk we went on,

you were married!

I can't even enjoy the memories.

It was real. Believe me.

How can you say that?

- I'm going. - No. Fern.

Don't call me!

Do you still want me to keep Henry

when you go to the Canaries?

Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck!

Fuck!

I'm sorry, Tillie. It's not you.

It's me, your idiot master, I'm angry with.

Shit.

I should have told you what?

So what if I brought a friend on a picnic, Donna?

It's not a crime.

I know I have a wife. Do you think I can forget that?

Anyway, you can relax.

That courtship's gone doolally before it even started.

I haven't seen her for weeks now.

It's not your business, my dear Donna,

to tell me how to run my life.

I'll make my own mess in my own way, thank you.

Oi! Control your animal, will you?

You shouldn't be letting her out in a state like that.

She's long past being in any state you had in mind, mate.

Come on, Bertie. Not good enough for you.

No, Daddy's not angry at you.

Come on, Tillie, eh?

Come on, love. Just try a little bit of water, eh?

Tillie?

I'm behind with the rent.

They called me in for a powwow.

Donna. Hi.

Hello, Mum.

Hi, Dad.

I was just showing your mum

a letter from the housing office.

You're early.

Yeah. I've got a job interview. I've gotta prepare.

It's a crap job, Mum. Maybe.

It needs dusting in here.

I'll talk to Matron. Mum hates a dirty house.

Don't you, Mum? Hate a dirty house?

What is the matter with you?

One lousy flower you bring her? Can't you bring a bunch?

She didn't like me spending too much on flowers.

She'd rather have one special one.

Hmm. I'll leave you to it, then.

You still want me to pick up the kids?

Uh, yeah, if you want. I'll pick them up from yours?

'Bye, Mum.

Don't do it. I just say that.

Come on!

Oh!

Ooh!

Where's Tillie?

She's not well. She's resting in bed.

Like when you take a day off school when you've got a cold.

- Mum usually makes us go. - Oh.

Where's your friend? That woman?

She was nice.

Thank you.

You can't make me homeless. I'm a secure tenant.

We could, Mr Simmonds, if we wanted to.

We've given you two warnings

and you keep falling further behind.

I'm doing my best.

That's why we'll help you find a new home, Mr Simmonds.

I want MY home, not any old home.

My wife's care costs, the council don't cover it.

I lost pension when I quit to look after her.

We'll find you a smaller place. The rent will be lower.

We're going to renovate and modernise your existing home.

I've already modernised it.

And then we'll re-let it

to a two-income working family.

You'd be helping people out.

I can just imagine the rent you're gonna charge

when that's all done.

I've never been behind before. 30 years.

I'll make it up.

How, Mr Simmonds?

When...

When...

Where do you want to move me?

Um, we have access

to some first-class accommodation for singles

in Luton, if you fancy a new start.

You're joking.

Closer to hand, we have

more temporary accommodation outside of borough.

We have some suitable properties in Chingford.

That's still miles away.

Until we find somewhere locally.

How long's that gonna take?

We've got a brownfield development

going through the planning process now.

Three years, say, if everyone hits their targets.

My wife's here. My grandchildren.

Perhaps you'd like to go for the Chingford option, then.

Henry!

You rapscallion! Here!

- Now, where's your missus? - Henry!

- Hola. - Hola.

Long time no see. Qué tal?

Bien.

You're a sight for sore eyes.

Am I allowed to say that?

No.

- Where's Tillie? - Sick.

But you've come out anyway.

Got to keep up the exercise.

How bad is she?

Not good.

Vet said it could be a tumour.

But it wouldn't be doing her any favours opening her up.

Poor Tillie.

Better go.

Give her a kiss from me.

How was the wedding?

Not easy. The ex was omnipresent.

But Gran Canaria was lovely

and the family were very welcoming,

so I ended up staying longer.

Can I say something?

About us.

I owe you an explanation.

You took me for a ride, Dave, is all I know.

Go on, then.

I was so much enjoying getting to know you.

After all those years caring for Marcy,

it was magic being in a proper relationship.

I didn't want to risk losing it.

You. Losing you.

You lied to me.

I justified it to myself.

She did pass on for me, in a way.

I've had to grieve the person I knew.

Fuck it, Dave, you hid a wife from me.

I'm used to compartmentalising.

As a nurse you have to keep things separate.

You're trained to.

I wanted to tell you.

I nearly did a few times.

The longer I left it, the harder it got.

I'm sorry.

That's it. I've said it.

Thanks for listening.

I would like to visit Tillie.

Go on through. Excuse the mess.

Hello, Tillie.

It's OK.

Aw.

OK. OK.

Say hello.

Good girl.

What's all this, Dave?

No secrets, please.

They kicked me out of the house, end of November.

They're gonna tart this place up

and rent it out for as much as they can get.

They're sending me off to Siberia.

- Sorry. Luton. - They can't do that.

They can and they are. Luton or Chingford.

You've given your life to public service.

It's not right.

If they just give me, you know,

a nice little one-bedroom flat somewhere in the area,

I could live with it.

But they can't, 'cause they're pulling them down.

Blimey. Lazarus has risen.

I swear, she hasn't eaten anything for ages.

She's hardly stood up.

I've more or less had to carry her out to do her business.

It's you and Henry. You bucked her right up.

Nice to imagine.

I'm glad she's eating, anyway.

I hope she can keep it down.

Maybe later we could take her out for a little walk,

if you don't mind sticking around.

For a few minutes.

Why were you on the fields, Dave, without a dog?

Tell me.

As I said, for the exercise.

I had in mind I might catch you.

Just in case.

In case of what?

In case you might forget me.

I've had a lot of time to myself.

A lot of time to think.

I thought, "I met a man.

"We had the chance of something.

"Friendship, companionship.

"Love, even.

"He blew it, big-time.

"I was very disappointed.

"I'm going to be very cautious because of what he did.

"But I do believe he's sorry."

What are you saying?

I don't know, Dave, and I'm still thinking about it.

I heard what you said.

Don't push me.

No. So...?

I'll be on the fields tomorrow.

- Let's see. - Really?

Really.

There. Good boy.

Good boy, Henry.

I don't forgive myself.

Good.

She's walking a lot better.

Dave, I want to say something.

Should I get my armour out?

My response to Marcy - I wasn't very kind.

Thinking about it,

what you must have been through,

and now what it's costing you...

No, you had a right to respond the way you did.

I misled you.

Well, I'm sorry.

I can't imagine how hard it must have been.

Is.

Thank you.

What?

Wait.

Bravo! Bravo! Magnífico!

Magnífico! Bravo! Magnífico! Bravo!

I've just got to get something from the car.

Come on, you two.

Toothbrush, nightie, dressing gown,

work clothes, change of knickers, doggy bowl.

I'm not moving in.

Women. Beyond comprehension.

Come on, get in.

Get in, go on.

I better change the sheets.

Uh, no sex, Dave.

No, of course not. Just being together's good.

For the moment.

You were bloody amazing.

Oh, you're good.

I used to be a nurse.

I could do this in my sleep.

A man who change the sheets - every woman's dream.

And here's me worrying about my pecs.

Oh, they count too.

Blimey, that's a bit noisy.

You get used to it.

Never.

What's wrong with a bit of elbow grease?

You coming, love?

In a mo.

It's nice to know you're there now.

You'll still be there in the morning.

You hope.

You alright?

I'm fine.

So much I don't know.

We've both lived a lot of life, haven't we?

Here's a question.

Where's your favourite place in the world?

In the world?

Yes.

I haven't found it yet.

Somewhere inside me, I think.

Have you been looking at me long?

A little while.

Looking at your neck.

It's a good neck.

Thank you.

Do you want a cuppa?

I'll bring one up if you want.

No. I'll come down.

Do you want milk with your muesli?

I've got semi-skimmed.

I'll get soy for next time.

Here you are.

All bases covered.

Heart, liver, stomach, kidney, pancreas,

muscles, joints, lymphatic system,

nervous system, brain.

I'm glad you've got that one dealt with.

- There's no guarantee. - Don't I know it.

Get stuck it. It won't eat itself.

My lady and my gracious lord.

Ah!

Methinks.

My ladyship.

- My lady. - My lady.

My sweet lady.

My lord.

Hello, Dave.

Hello, Fern?

You said you'd call me. I've been waiting for your call.

Oh, sorry. I... I... I got busy.

I had to cover for someone.

I got worried.

Maybe you'd had enough of me.

No, it's not you. It's just...

Come tomorrow.

You come to me this time.

This is nice.

Nicer now you're in it.

- I got my moving date. - When?

Next month.

Watch out, Chingford! Big Dave's on his way.

I can't solve your housing problems, Dave.

Nor I yours.

You can give me a cuddle.

Come here.

I fancy you rotten.

Well, kiss me, then.

It's gone.

Don't.

What's the matter?

Nothing.

I've lost it.

It's all a bit sudden.

I'm sorry.

Oh.

I need my power tools. I think they're under the stairs.

Help yourself. I haven't touched them.

You've acquired another beast, I see.

- Is it safe? - Tillie wouldn't hurt anyone.

She's not mine.

What's he doing here?

He's my friend. Dave, this is Jimmy, my ex.

Morning!

Hello.

- Got everything? - For the moment, yeah.

Yeah. There's fresh coffee.

You're joking.

Thinking of bringing the sale forward.

See what I mean?

He wasn't always that bad.

Or maybe I just couldn't see it.

He wanted a good time. I was up for that.

For a while.

But it's not enough, though, is it?

You need more than that from someone,

especially when you're getting older.

You do.

But needing more makes it feel more of a risk.

Exactly.

That's 80 quid, please.

Cheap at the price.

Morning, George. You're not dead yet?

Doing my best. You sick or visiting?

Volunteering. Maybe.

Seriously? You must be soft in the head.

They should admit you.

God bless, mate. See you later.

I went to see if I could do voluntary counselling

at the hospital.

You'd be good.

Nah, they won't let me.

I don't have the qualifications.

Oh, that's nuts.

All your experience going to waste.

You'd think they'd be crying out for people like you.

Maybe keeping an eye for out Marcy is all I'm good for.

I don't want to share you, Dave.

I could do away with her.

There's times I've felt like it.

Oh, don't talk rubbish.

You still love her, don't you?

Yes, of course.

But not in the way I feel about you.

That's what every man with a mistress says.

Be my mistress, then, eh?

Sorry. Joke.

With her, it's about the past.

With you, it's about... now.

- Is she here? - No.

You coming in or what?

The children say they saw her car here.

She was. She works mornings.

She's gone to work now. Do you want a coffee?

It's not right, Dad. It's gotta stop.

I'm sorry you feel that.

I know you're lonely. Who's not lonely?

But Mum is still alive.

She's still a person. She's still your wife.

It's company, Donna. It's not like you think it is.

Meet her. Do that for us.

Meet her first, and then make your mind up.

No, you're not listening, Dad.

She could be Mother Teresa. It makes no difference.

My mother might not be the woman she was,

but she still deserves respect.

Donna thinks I'm selfish...

..that I spent my life looking after nutcases

and I've never had any time for her.

The fact is I thought the world of her.

She seemed happy enough.

So, she's probably right.

I didn't give her the attention.

We all make mistakes.

She won't let it go.

She thinks I should stop seeing you.

Bloody hell, Dave!

It's none of her business, is it?

That's what I keep telling her.

Your bloody family, all over you.

I should never have told you now.

No wonder you lost it the other night.

Give us a break.

I wasn't ready, that's all.

You took me by surprise.

No, you haven't done with her.

You couldn't bear to be unfaithful.

Not so.

Leave it, lovey.

We should take some time out.

Time out? We've just got started.

How much time do you think we've got?

I think so, Dave. It's all got too complicated.

Come on, Henry.

Come.

Fern!

Fern, come back!

At least let's talk about it!

Oh, you guys get heavier every week!

Who gave you permission to grow up so fast?

- Nobody! - Well, stop it, will you?

Or I won't be able to carry you.

We can't. It just happens.

You'll have to get stronger. Maybe work out.

Work out? You won't catch me doing that.

No way!

Mm, this is a weird one.

Whoa.

House is gone.

I've got these photos from the fridge.

Look.

There's me and you on our wedding day.

Look at that jacket.

I don't know what I was thinking.

There's Delroy. His Christmas jumper.

Look.

There's Donna as a baby.

Hello, Fern?

I needed to hear your voice.

How's the new place?

It's fine. How are you?

OK.

This is difficult.

Do you want to go for a walk? Not to stay over.

Just to walk and talk. I'd like to see you.

No, Dave. It's too hard.

OK. So be it.

I'm angry, Fern,

at myself for being so clumsy.

And I'm angry at you for walking away again.

It was just an argument. It didn't warrant...

I don't want to have this conversation.

It wasn't perfect between me and Marcy.

Since she found God, I came second in her life.

She never accepted Delroy's gayness.

Can't you get it through your head you're not second-best?

- Please, Dave, stop. - You told me you lose faith.

Whatever it was that happened, you have to understand,

I'm loyal, and if you let me love you, that's it.

I won't disappear.

But eventually I'll get the message.

The day will come when you wonder why you pushed me away.

And I won't be there.

I've blown it.

Yes.

I'm on my way to visit her now.

Hospital? Why send her to hospital?

Pneumonia?

Yes, I know.

I used to be a nurse, remember?

I'll make my way there now.

She's on an antibiotic drip.

She's very confused, so we had to sedate her.

- She's very weak. - 35 years, she was a nurse.

'Dedicated' doesn't begin to describe her.

There are two in front of her waiting for a bed.

I'll make sure she has one by the morning.

It's now she needs it.

Who's allocating tonight?

Let me speak to them. I used to be a nurse.

I'll bet there's a private bed on stand-by.

You can try. OK?

You better get rid of the flowers.

You'd think I know that.

Shall I come, Dad?

Whatever you want to do, love.

To tell the truth, I said my goodbyes last summer.

She didn't know me from Adam even then.

Plus the fare and...

If it's a question of money, I'll help.

Don't worry about that.

It's you I'm worried about, Dad. That'd be my reason to come.

Don't worry about me. I'm good.

You'd tell me if you weren't?

I would. I promise.

Henry! Go away! Go!

She was a strong believer.

She'd like a prayer said.

Support us, O Lord,

all the day long in this troublesome life,

till the shadows lengthen and the evening comes,

the busy world is hushed...

..the fever of life is over

and our work is done.

And then, Lord, in your mercy,

grant us a safe lodging,

a holy rest

and peace at the last.

Hello?

She's rallied, did you say?

Yes.

She always had a strong heart.

Temperature's down. That's good to hear.

I'll be along as soon as I can make it.

OK, thank you.

Are you having a joke with me or what?

I don't have your sense of humour.

Zap! Pow!

Pow! Zap!

Pow! Pow!

Zap!

- Come on, Tillie, get up. - Leave her be.

She needs to lie down.

Is she pretending to be shot?

I wish.

There you go, girl.

You rest up a bit and then we'll take you home.

Get your strength up.

Steady, girl.

Easy.

They say call a friend.

Let's try.

Hello? Dave?

Don't hang up, please.

I've got an emergency. I need some advice.

What?

It's Tillie.

I think she's on her way out.

I'm not sure what to do.

It's driving me a bit potty.

Oh, Dave. Oh, poor you.

Poor Tillie.

Maybe it'd be a kindness to her if I called in the vet.

Can... can I talk to her?

Yes.

If you switch to FaceTime, I'll do the same here,

and then you can see her.

Dear Tillie, we... we love you so much.

But we aren't holding on to you.

If it's your time, it's alright to go.

Dave will be OK.

- She's gone. - Oh!

Oh.

There's no pulse.

She went while you were talking.

Really?

That very moment.

- Bloody hell. - Can't believe it.

I had a feeling.

Are you OK?

- Hi, Dave. Alright? - Hey.

- Yeah. - Where's Tillie?

Oh, she died. Yeah, couple of days ago.

Yeah, yeah.

- The house is very quiet now. - I imagine.

When you got her, she was so cute.

- Do you remember? - I do, yeah.

I'll join you one day, yeah?

You better do. Don't be on your own, alright?

- Oh, she was such a lovely dog. - She was, I know.

- Thank you, Mon. - Aw.

See you. 'Bye.

Thank you for being there in those final moments.

She went peacefully, because of you.

She was never happy in the new flat.

It's no place to keep a dog.

It's been strange not having to walk her every day.

I suppose that makes me a free man.

But it doesn't seem that way.

I hope you're keeping well.

No need to get back to me.

I'll understand.

- Hello, Fern. - Hello, Dave.

Hello, Henry.

Do you want a coffee?

Um... A cappuccino, please, decaf.

Uh, cappuccino, decaf, please.

I'm so sorry about Tillie.

She was a grand dog.

Soft, like you.

I used to have an edge. Seems like it got worn down.

How's utopia?

I'm getting used to it.

I've started a campaign for all us lost souls.

Get a sprinkler system fitted.

And the children?

Yeah, good.

Getting bigger. Want to be with their friends.

- Oh, thank you. - Thanks.

Your wife well?

She was ill.

It was touch and go. But she's alright now.

You didn't tell me.

I wanted to.

I came out to find you on the fields,

but you were with someone, a man,

so I didn't want to intrude.

So you just walked off without saying anything?

I didn't want to mess up your life.

I've messed you up enough.

Oh, so bloody high-minded.

More interested in doing the right thing than in me.

- You could have checked it out. - Check what out?

This man that you saw,

that was my brother come to tell me he has cancer.

Sorry. Your poor brother. Poor you.

Don't make a meal of it. He's going to be OK, they think.

The problem is not my brother. The problem is you.

Your daughter that thinks you're selfish,

she has no idea.

You're way behind on selfish.

You could be 10 times as active in your own self-interest

and still be within the norm.

What you do is endure -

you endure your homelessness,

you endure your daughter's bossiness,

you endure my comings and goings.

You endure for Britain! It's bats.

Oh, well, except that phone call.

That was something else, I'll give you that.

- I'm... - Don't apologise.

I had it coming.

Oh, come on, you great lunk.

Let's go for a walk.

There's something I want to show you.

What?

There's something I've been keeping from you.

What is it?

The picture you saw in my living room,

it wasn't the daughter that just got married.

Oh.

It was the daughter that died.

Ouch.

Um, meningitis.

She was... 18.

They diagnosed her early,

so they hoped they could save her, but..

That's bad.

That's as bad as it gets.

That's why my son got so messed up.

Well, we all did, in our different ways.

Your husband?

Work. Threw himself into work.

I tried to talk to him, but he wouldn't listen.

Didn't want me near him.

Worked himself into the grave.

- Wasn't fair on the other two. - No.

And the way he looked at me sometimes,

like it was my fault.

To the end, he blamed me.

Thanks for telling us.

No wonder.

What?

No wonder you lose faith.

Oh, people with healthy children, healthy kids,

I just want to blow their brains out.

I get that.

And... and Jimmy, he didn't like my moods.

He told me to get over her, be glad I had him.

It's no good denying grief.

You push it down, it pops up somewhere else.

And it can last a long time.

Forever if it's your kid.

It's best invited in. Make a friend of it.

That's another 80 quid.

What do you think?

Nice. Pretty.

It's you buying it? It's gonna be yours?

Yes.

It's perfect!

If you need any help moving...

- That was more like it! - Yes!

I'm out of practice.

Me too!

I've been anticipating it for so long.

It just all came in a rush.

It was lovely, really.

Give it time.

I'm in a sudden dream. Don't wake me up.

I'm happy.

There's a word for it.

Contento.

I haven't felt happy since Sarah died.

I haven't wanted to.

Haven't thought I was entitled to.

Haven't sung a note since...

..until...

Here. She'd want you to be happy.

That's what I keep saying to myself!

You're liable to get a lot of this.

Of course.

You'll get some too.

Oh!

It's walk time.

Bloody dogs.

We can come back after.

I've got to go and feed the budgies.

You didn't get budgies?

Haven't I?

Then what's that floating inside us?

Come on.

- Come on. - It wasn't all bad.

There was a time before she got really ill,

she was forgetful but she was still pretty much herself.

Then when I started watching over her,

we became close,

closer than we'd been for a long time.

Forever, maybe.

I guess underneath it all

we both knew the end was coming...

..and we were saying goodbye.

Maybe I should meet her again.
