...that is,
when the rules changed,

when using the United Kingdom

within the European Union.

David Cameron and
the Conservative Party

are perfectly free
to move the goalposts,

but we have this legislature.

The people of Britain
have a guarantee

that a referendum
will take place,

and that is what I suggest
we go out to promote.

As was pointed out last night,

in a Liberal democrat
campaign leaflet from 2008,

there was made
a call for a referendum

on membership of
the European Union,

a straight in-out vote,

which is precisely
what David Cameron
is now proposing.

How does that reconcile with
your current party line...

We've always been
very clear about our views.

We specifically
called for a referendum
when the rules changed.

We did that at the time
of the Lisbon Treaty,

we did it again
in our manifesto,
and we legislated for it.

Now, you have been

accused of sticking
your head in the sand

regarding your recent
and some would say
humiliating incident,

and your current
stance on the referendum,

it does not appear
to be winning public support.

How do you see your
party moving forward?

Let's not
frustrate everything.

As Nick Clegg stated
in the House of Commons...

Oh, dear.

Four across.

Have a look.

Oh, God,
I should have got that.

"Archipelago,"
of course.

Okay, done.

So, let's get on
with the day.

Um...

Are you going out?

I think I shall, yes.

Could you maybe
get me some stamps?

How many?

Oh, good question.

Um, hold on a second.
Sorry, Joseph.

That's one, two, um...

Oh, wait a minute.

I have to write to Gronya,
I have to write to
Mary and Clark...

I have to write to Joan,
that's a week overdue.

Um...

Get me a little book,
would you?
Little book of stamps, yes.

'Cause I'm going to
write a little letter
to Chloe and Jason.

They'll be here
in a few weeks.

Yes, but it's lovely to get
a little card or something

when you're that age old,
you're seven.

You can sign it
when you come back.

Your hat.

Don't forget your hat,
it's getting very warm
out there.

See you shortly.

Okay, my love,
bye-bye.

Okay, Joan first.

Where did you go?

Brenda, you cannot
start a story

if you do not know
the ending.

Come on,
so where did you go?

Okay.

Yesterday? Yeah?

No.

- Oh, Valerie, it's the sun.
- My brain has gone all fuzzy.

Yeah, right.
Blame it on the sun again.

Sorry. Haven't...

Mustn't forget to
post those letters now.

Let's get the first post.

That's the one, yeah.
Could you do
that for me, please?

Bonsoir, Brenda.
Ah, Gerard.

How are you?
Come on, darling.

How are you? Great.
How are you?

Bonsoir, Gerard.
Hi.

Oh, lovely.
Oh.

Oh, merci beaucoup.
Thank you very much.

Oh, yes.

Um, may I offer you
a little aperitif?

Oh, yes, please.
Oh, that'd be lovely.

Little aperitif
would go down very well.

Just what I'm in the mood for.

Now, let's see if we can find
something nice here for you.

Oh, look.

Brenda, Brenda,
pay attention.

Yes. Oh!

Thank you very much. Merci.

It's getting
a little busy?

Yes, finally
the season's starting.

I hope.

The invasion, you mean.

Soon we won't be able
to move for the English,
the bloody Germans.

Well, can I interest madame
in our special today?

Oh, yes, please.

We have a beautiful sole
with lemon and white rice.

Now, Gerard, what do you do?
You're playing with me.

You know
I don't like fish.
Yes, I know.

No, I just want my
usual beautiful steak.

Please, thank you.
Of course.

Sir.
Sole sounds nice.

That has lemon, Joseph.
Bit acidic, maybe?

No, no, no,
it's very delicate.

I assure you,
I assure you.
Okay.

Very delicate.
I'll take that.

Very good.
Okay.

Good. Thank you very much.

Brenda.
Yes.

And a half of red?

Not too cold.
Not too cold.

I don't know,
why does that
make me laugh?

I don't...

Oh, dear.

Getting a bit warm
in here, isn't it?
Mmm.

Maybe Gerard'll
open the windows
a little bit soon.

Then it'll be nice.

If it doesn't get too busy.

Oh...

Do you want to go out?

I think I might go out, yes.
Just take a little stroll.

Right. Well, I have to go
to the market anyway later.

See you there.
Okay, right.

Now, Joseph, 10 down.

"Dilapidated."
"Dilapidated."

Oh, thank you.

Don't forget to put your
little chapeau on now.

Great.

Excusez-moi.

Thank you.

Come in.
Hi, Gerard.

I'll get your table.

How are you on
this lovely day?

Brenda, Brenda.

How are you?

Good to see you.

Bonsoir, Gerard.

Oh, thank you.

It's very warm today,
Gerard, isn't it?

Yes, yes, it is.
It's really
starting to heat up.

Even with the windows open,
it's warm, isn't it?

This evening
it'll be cool.

Yeah.
Yes, I think.

Bonsoir.

Hello.
Bonsoir.

Sweet.

Oh.

May I offer you
an aperitif?

Oh, yes, please.

Yes, and may
I recommend

the veal this evening?

No, I think
I feel like mussels.

Very good, sir.
Very good.

And you, Brenda?

Um, oh, I'll just
have the normal, please.

My steak, black and blue...

Of course,
and a half of red?

Not too cold.

Sorry, could we have
some more bread, please?

Oh, yes, I'm sorry.

Of course.
Thank you.

Are you sure?
Don't go crazy.

I don't want to hear,
"I have eaten too much,"
all night.

I won't,
I promise.

Will you just
watch yourself?

- Stop it.
- I know you...

Seem to be
enjoying themselves.

Mmm.

Merci.

Your aperitif.

Brenda.

Merci beaucoup.

Merci.

Sorry for the bread.

Thank you,
I'm hungry tonight.

She's always hungry.

Must be a wonderful thing
to have an appetite.

I mean, when you get
to my age, eh, Gerard?

You don't do so badly, sir.

And anyway, I'm in no
position to complain

about people with
a good appetite.

Here, we encourage it.

Ah, but, gentlemen,
you do not know
what you're dealing with.

It's all good and well
to indulge her now,

but I'm the one who's
gonna have to put up

with her moaning and
groaning all night.

Stop exaggerating.
I'm not.

My humble apologies, sir.

You've got to be careful.

Gerard will start
plying you with all
kinds of things to try.

That's fine by me.

And he's got
fantastic English.

He'd have to,
to understand
your nonsense.

Yeah, I believe
he lived in England
for a while.

Thank God,
my French is terrible.

Oh, it's not as bad
as mine, seriously.

Yesterday, I tried to ask
for an ice cream,

and the man gave me
a sandwich.

That's an ice cream.

Now, where were you
when I needed you?

I don't know.

Hey!
What?

Just having a taste.

Have you
tried the steak here?

Uh... No,
we're having fish.

All the food's wonderful.

And such good value.
I couldn't believe it
when I looked at the menu.

Mmm. I'm not too sure
what pleases her more,

the quality of the food
or the quality of the price.

Well, quality and price.

I think that's the reason
we eat here most evenings.

Oh, then you're
just like me,
I'm terrible.

Once I fall in love with
a place, I'm done for.

I know, I know.

Not much of an adventurer,
are you, Suze?

No, well,
you must try the steak,
really, you must.

You here for long?

No, just a few days.

I mean, we've been meaning
to come down for ages,

and Suze has had it
in her head for months,

but we just couldn't
find the right moment
up until now.

Any particular reason
you wanted to come here?

Just one of
those places, I think.

Ever since I was little,
I wanted to come.

It's the Romans, I think.

I've always been
very interested
in the Romans.

Oh, and Mark's
very interested in
the wines of this area.

He's a bit of
a geek like that.

Me? A geek?

Oh, Gerard, merci.

Ah, good choice.

I'm Suzanne, by the way.
And this is Mark.

I'm Joseph.
This is my wife, Brenda.

Very nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you both, too.

Au revoir.

Thank you very much.

It was a lovely night.

Oh, no,
I'm too full.

What did I say?
What did I say?

This is all I'm
gonna get now,
all night.

It's better than
me complaining
that I'm hungry.

Mmm, that's true.

Well, it's been
an absolute pleasure.

Likewise.
Hope you enjoy your stay.

I'm sure I will.

As long as I can drag
her away from the ruins
from time to time

to sample a little bit
of the local vintage.

I'll try the
steak next time.
Looked fantastic.

Well, there are lots of
other good restaurants
in Nimes you could try.

I'm sure, but we'll
definitely be coming
back here, no doubt.

Of course.

Thank you so much
for the tip on
the wine merchant's.

I'm really looking
forward to a visit.

I hope it's what
you're looking for.

Oh, and thanks for
my tip about going
early to the temple.

Well, it's nice and
quiet first thing.

Relatively speaking.
Perfect.

He reminds
of me of our Shawn,
that young boy Mark.

Shawn?
Mmm.

No, I don't see it.

Well, Shawn is very
fond of his drink,
as we know.

Very hearty appetite,
that young girl,
hasn't she?

Well, you had, too,
at that age.

Did I?

Maybe I did.

I remember
Gronya saying to me,

"If you eat like a horse,
you'll look like a horse."

And here we are
living in a country

where they
actually eat horses.

Oh, the letters.

I'll do them first thing.

How stupid of me.

I left them on the table
all ready to bring out.

I'll post them
in the morning.

Would you do that?

Please, 'cause they have
to go first post
in the morning.

I know. I'll do it.

It's a temple, honey.
Like a church.

The Romans had temples.

And this is
the temple of Diana.

Who's Diana?

She's the goddess
of the hunt.

It's creepy.

You know what?

It is kind of creepy.

You know, no one knows exactly
why they built this place.

Two different
types of decoration.

One's circular
and the other
one's triangular.

And over there in the corner,
that's the Corinthian style...

Mark, look!
Look, look, look!

You can see traces
of a wall painting.

It's amazing, isn't it?

Yeah.

...made his name as a comedian

and a presenter on
Irish television.

He went on to tour
four one-man shows

on the international
festival circuit

before hitting our shores
to host a new panel
show for BBC Radio.

Known for his
meaty subject matter,

a telltale sign of
his former legal background...

Brenda?

You all right, dear?

Oh, yes, but no...

I came in here, right,
to get something.

And for the life of me,
I just can't remember
what it was.

Your pills?
No, took them this morning.

I just can't remember
what it was.

So, more money
for St. Anthony.

You sure
you're all right?
I'm fine.

I'll remember what it was
in a few minutes,

don't worry.

You hop out,
I'll park around
the corner.

Okay.

Uh...

He's asking
about your wrist
and your shoulder.

Oh, yes.
Yes. They're grand. Yes.

Very sore sometimes,

but bearable.

Oh, he says it's
come down a little.

Oh, good. Good.

Perfect. Perfect.
Perfect. Perfect.

He's asking
about the steak, is he?

Joseph,
will you please tell him
that I just hate fish,

and that chicken is
just bloody boring.

He knows,
you told him before.

Well, tell him again.

Now he's saying I can't
eat steak at all, is he?

No, just cut down a little.

Okay.

Why I cannot eat what I want

at this age of my life,
I don't understand.

Can I go off the tablets?

He says just
keep on with them
for another few weeks,

and then we'll go from there.

Okay?
Okay.

Oui?
Oui, oui, Doctor.

Okay.

Is he
asking about your food?

Is he
asking about your
sleep and your mood?

Like, your general mood?

Okay.

Suzanne?

Joseph.

I thought it was you.

Suzanne!

How nice to see you.
What a surprise!

Joseph, hi.
How are you?

Very well,
thank you, Mark. You?

Yeah, good. Great.

How's the missus?
She's fine.

Isn't it a beautiful morning?

It is. It is.

Yeah, we're off
to see some, uh...

What's it called?
Some tower thing.

The Tour Magne.
It's here, isn't it?

It is. It is.

Yes, you go
through the park
and up the hill.

A hill in this heat?

Stop being such a baby.
Ow!

He's not much of a walker,
is Mark.

No, I'm not.

Give me a quiet table
and a good glass of red,
and you, of course,

and I'm a happy man.

And then we're going
to the Temple of Diana.

That's the one you mentioned,
isn't it?

Yes, yes.
That's the one.

We meant to go
there yesterday, early.

But someone's
alarm didn't go off.

It's not too steep a hill
to this tower thing, is it?

Sorry?

No, no, no.
Not for young people
like you anyway.

And the view is worth it
by all accounts?

Oh, yes, it's worth it.

Well, come on, then.
Let's head for the hills

before I change my mind.

Yes, I must be
getting back.

Brenda will have
lunch ready for me.

God! Is it
lunch time already?

We've got to
get up earlier.

We're on holiday.

Well, perhaps we'll see you
at the restaurant
again one evening.

Definitely.

I wasn't allowed to go
back there last night,

but we'll be coming again.

There are other places.

Not as good.

Okay, perhaps
see you later, then.

Yeah.

Bye.

Oh, my God!

Haven't seen that
thing for years.

I wear it all the time.
No, you don't.

The last time
you wore that was at your
retirement dinner party.

No, honestly,
Brenda, it wasn't that.

How is it you can't remember
what you came into a room for,

yet you're convinced you know
when the last time
I wore this tie was?

The reason for that is
because I remember
the important things.

And the last time
you wore this tie

was at the Grand Hotel

five years ago.

Now, there.

You're still very handsome,
you know.

Thank you.

Gerard.

Brenda.

Brenda!

Oh, come here, you.
How are you?

That was fun last night.

Yes, better than
yesterday. Absolutely.

Absolutely.
Another lovely evening.

Thank you
very much indeed.

Here's your table.

Oh, yes.
And I'm hungry tonight.

Hungry, yes.

Oh, I must phone Michael.

Get the details
of the arrangements
for the arrival.

Well, they're not coming
for another 10 days.

But there is no harm
in being prepared.

All they wanna do is
just sit around
the pool all day.

Well, let them.
All done?

Yes, thank you, Gerard.

Everything was all right?

Yes, Gerard.
That steak was
cooked to perfection.

- Thank you.
- Very good.

I shall tell the chef.
Okay.

Can I offer you
anything else? Coffee?

Um... Dessert?

No, no, thank you.
Not for me.

Yes. Actually, yes.

I would like to see
the dessert menu, yes.

You're having a dessert?

It's the heat.
I just fancy
something sweet.

Just a little something.

No, absolutely not.

- No.
- Mademoiselle?

No, no, no. Thank you.

We won't sleep a wink
if we have any more coffee.

Of course.

I said, stick
to the original deal.

Please don't feel that
you have to wait
on my account.

He could be hours.

I feel sorry for him
having to work out there

this time of the night
on his holidays.

Simon,
who employs who?

You're not listening
to me, mate.

No, I don't need them.

No, I never said that.
What's that?

Gerard, might we put
this in the kitchen?

Whoa, fuck!

Christ, what was that?

What the hell was that?

God! It's awful.

What's happened?

It's awful.

Oh, God!

He was on the phone.
He wasn't looking
where he was going.

Can't somebody
do something?

Can somebody put this cat
out of its misery?

Please.

Gerard, do you know
if this is a local cat or...

Please...
Someone should call a vet.

Yes, could you do that?

There's no point
in calling a vet.

The cat is half dead.

Joseph, please,
I can't bear it.
Do something.

A rock.

Why isn't anybody
doing something?

- A broom, anything.
- Calm down.

Ask him in French, please.

Don't touch it!
Don't touch it!

Oh, God! Look at that
poor animal in pain.

It's dreadful.

Oh, thank you so much.

Wait, if you want me to...

Thank you, Brenda.
Thank you.

Thank you, Gerard.

Come on, Suze.
Let's go back inside.

Mmm.

Brenda, you were
wonderful tonight.

That was
nothing wonderful,

putting a cat
out of its misery.

No one else did it.

Brenda, I...

You were really wonderful.

Well done.

Oh, Gronya has written.

How's she?

Ah, great news.

Her water tank has
been fixed at last.

That's a delight...

Oh, Lord.
And her kids are coming

to stay with them
for a whole week.

Oh, that's good.
She'll like that.

Which reminds me,
I must ring Michael later.

I'll be out
most of the day.

Anything you need
before I go?

No. No, I'm fine.

Do give Robert my love.

I will.

Is Valerie coming today?

God! Valerie!

I completely
forgot about Valerie.

She's given me
this list of irregular verbs

which are just
really difficult.
I haven't even looked them.

Oh, no, let me
just read the letter.

There you are, now see,
one phrase I've got down.

Joseph.

So sorry.

Mark's on a call
from work.

Have you been
waiting long?

No, just arrived.

It really is very good of you
to offer this.

Mark's absolutely thrilled.

Oh, it's my pleasure.
Good reason to get out.

Of course, the alarm worked
perfectly this morning.

Your, uh...
Your wife's not with you?

Uh... No.

Um, she can't bear, uh,
car journeys in the heat,

and she's got
some letters to write
to friends back home.

Well, not back home, so much.

Anyway, she's got
her French lessons
she really can't get out of.

Oh.

She was, um...

Quite something
last night.

Yes.

That poor cat...
Mmm.

Just awful to
see it like that.

Hey.

Joseph, I'm so sorry.

All right?
Yeah, I'm fine.

Just those stupid twats.

To think they can't survive
a few days without me.

Anyway, shall we?
Yeah.

Just watch out
for any cats.

I mean,
I'm no real expert,

it's just something
I've always been
interested in.

And the chance to meet
someone who really
knows his stuff

is terrific.

And not to mention
the thought of bringing
a few cases home.

God, though,
I have to think
about transportation.

Do people
ship things anymore?

Like freight shipping?

Won't be a minute.

Suze,
I told you not to have
that second coffee.

Got the bladder of
a sparrow, that one.

Think I'll nip in myself.

Fine, go ahead.
I'm just gonna
sit here in the sun.

For fuck's sake.

Good idea.
It's very hot,
isn't it?

Would you like one?

Oh, I'll get it,
don't worry.

No. No trouble.
Monsieur.

Thanks.

It's not too much, is it?

The drive?
With the heat
and everything?

Not at all.

Well, Mark really
is delighted,

as you can probably tell
from the fact that

he hasn't stopped
talking since we left.

Shall we hit the road?

Ah, Robert.

Bonjour.
Bonjour, this is Mark,

the one I told you about,
interested in wine.

Hello.
Bonjour, bonjour.

And Suzanne.
Bonjour.

Well, this...

Oh!

This is just... This is...
This is magnificent.

We spent
some time doing it up
when we expanded.

I don't think
you've seen it
since we finished.

What a change.

Yes. It's not too bad.

My wife, Mary, teases me.

This was supposed to be
a retirement project,

but now it's become
my second career.

Well, this is
a real treat for me.
I mean, for us.

Not to mention
two proper natives
to show us around.

Oh, I'm not a native.

No.

Joseph's another of
those filthy blow-ins.
Isn't that the phrase?

Taking our rum
and our women.

Hardly that.

So, what first?
Shall we go inside?

I'd love to, I'd love to.
I have to see the process.

Though, I think we're
slightly early for
primary fermentation.

That's right, isn't it?

Yes. Not until the harvest,
although you're not far off.

But we've got
some other batches
being clarified right now,

which I think
you'll find interesting.

Fantastic.

Darling.
Yes, are you okay,
sweetheart?

Yes, fine, it's just
I think we're going to
hang on out here.

It's such a beautiful day,
and I'd love to walk
through the vineyard.

We can do that
later, Suze.

I don't think Joseph wants
to be dragged around
for hours in there.

And you want to ask
lots of questions.

Go ahead and
wander around.

You can come in and
join us for a drink
in a while.

That's the best part anyway.

Go on. Go and have fun.
We'll be fine.

Okay, then.
Looks like it's
just you and me.

So we can have
a little taste?

He's convinced himself
he's going to go

into the wine
business someday.

Of course,
it'll never happen,

but I suppose there's
no harm in indulging
a fantasy for an afternoon.

Robert will get rid
of his delusions,
I think.

It's not an easy game.
Hmm.

You're not too tired?
We can stop if you like.

Not at all.

Does it ever get
lonely for you?
Living out here.

No.

No.

Well... No,
there's Brenda.

And our neighbors
are very nice.

Town's very beautiful.

Our children
come out, of course,

in the holidays
with the little ones.

How many children
do you have?

Three.
Three grown-up boys.

Grandchildren?

Four. So far.

Our youngest
isn't married yet.

Still, it can't
have been easy.

It was a change.

It was brave.

Sorry, I was miles away.

God, it's just glorious here.

It's funny, you know,
but it always strikes me
when I go on holiday.

All these marvelous places
in the world exist,

with people living in them,
enjoying them.

I don't know why,
but when I go back home, it...

It never feels real.

Doesn't seem possible
that those places,
they're still there,

people going
about their business

in the middle of
all that beauty.

Suppose that sounds
a little strange.

No.

I guess it just becomes
routine for the people
who live here,

as it does for everyone.

But most of the people
we chat to in France,

the waiters and so on,

they're all dying
to live in London,
they'd trade in a heartbeat.

You don't like
living in London?

Oh, no...

I mean, yes.
I like it.

I grew up there,
I don't think about it much.

I never really
cared for the city.

No?

No, I worked there
for a while.

My brother lived
there for a long time.

But not anymore?

No, he's been dead
10 years, nearly.

My son went to
university in London.
He's in New York now.

That's quite
a far-flung family
you've got.

Yes.

Mine are, too.

My parents are divorced,
my dad lives in Australia,

and my mum lives on a boat
with her new boyfriend.

A boat?

It's more
of a yacht, really.

They're sailing
around the world.

So I won't get to see
much of her unless she
docks back in Southampton.

I see.

Yes, she's quite
the adventurer.

Well, luckily,
my sister lives in London,
so I see her a lot.

Which is great.

God, I'm getting hungry.

Do you think
anyone would mind?

Uh...

All clear.

So how did you
find breaking into
the UK market?

'Cause presumably,
there must be so
much competition, no?

If I get rich and famous,

this is the one
luxury I'd like.

A pool.

Are you likely
to get rich and famous?

Not in my current career.

I don't think
marketing consultants

stand a great shot at
international glory.

So it's all
about the contacts. Ah!

Oh, well,
no pool for me.

I wish I'd brought my things.

There's a pool in
our apartment complex.

You would be very welcome
to come swim any time.

What a lovely offer.

It's such a shame
we're not staying
for much longer.

So it's all
about who you know
and not what you know. Oh!

We should
probably be heading back.
It's a bit of a drive for you.

No problem.

I don't think
your friend Robert is managing

to talk him out
of wine production.

No.

He still seems

very keen.

It's been a fantastic day.

So I can
definitely email you
when I get back?

Of course.

Are you sure?
Sure, sure.

'Cause I'm gonna
do it anyway.

Robert, it was
an absolute pleasure.
Fantastic to meet you.

I'll be in touch.
Yes.

Yes?
Yes.

Thank you again.

Thank you. It really was
a very special afternoon.

It was my pleasure.

You've come back
to me, have you?

Maybe.

Thank you, Robert.

I'm very grateful.
I hope it wasn't
too much trouble.

Will you be
coming to town soon?

I'd love to take you out
to thank you properly.

Mary and I are
going away for a week
to the north.

But when we get back,
perhaps, hmm?

Yes. Good.

Yes.

Well, I better be
getting on my way.

Give my love to Brenda,
please.

I will.

Thank you, Robert.

Goodbye.

You know,
if it's just the question

of finding
a reliable distributor,

then there's
really no issue.

The thing is,
Robert was saying

that it's a very
select group of people

that they will
sell to in England.
It's not like you can...

This has been
absolutely fantastic.

I can't tell you
how much I appreciate it.

You sure I can't
drop you at the hotel?

Oh, no, no,
it's a tiny little street.
Here's fine, thanks.

Joseph, um, me and Suze,

we'd very much like to
invite you and your wife

to dinner to say thank you.

No, really,
you've no need.

Please, we insist.

We thought we'd
try L'Apres Vous?

Robert said it was
the best in town.
What do you think?

It is, it is.

Really, there's no need.

I'll book the table,
I'll call them from the hotel.

8:00 suit?

Well, um, perhaps it might be
a little much this evening.

What about tomorrow?

Um, we're going to
Arles tomorrow, aren't we?

Tuesday, then?
Tuesday suit?

Uh...

Um, Tuesday's
our last night.

No, Tuesday's fine.

Yeah? Okay.

All right,
then I'll sort it out,
and I'll see you then.

8:00 is not
too late for you both?

- No, no. It's fine.
- Okay.

Joseph, if you
change your mind,

then just leave
a note at the hotel.

Le Tour. Room 13.

But I hope you don't.

That was lovely.

You sure you wouldn't
like an aspirin?

No, thanks.
I'm just tired.

I'm sorry.

Just as well we
didn't go out, then.

You overdid it today,
Joseph.

You know? The heat.

Long drive in the car,

sitting out in the sun.

Yeah, I know.

Well, I hope they
enjoyed it at least,
the young ones.

Yes, I think they did.

Robert was
very good to them.

Robert is a good man, yes.

What's... Dinner on Tuesday,
is that it? Okay.

Oh, shite.

My outfit.

It's still at
the dry cleaner's.

It's all right.
I'll get it in the morning.

Does it
ever get lonely for you?
Living out here.

Joseph?

Joseph?

It was brave.

Christ!

What's wrong with you, Joseph?
Have you got a pain? Joseph?

Christ, you frightened
the fucking life out of me.

What's wrong with you?
Have you got a pain?

God, I thought you'd
had a heart attack.

Jesus.

I was dreaming.

Dreaming? What were
you dreaming about?

I don't know.
God.

I can't remember.

Oh, love.
I'm sorry I woke you.

It's all right.
Oh.

Joseph, poor Joseph.

It's all right, love.
It's only a bad dream.

It's a bad dream.

You'll be all right, love.
It's okay. It'll go away.

Go back to sleep.

It's a very, very bad dream,
God love you.

Dry cleaning
should be open.

There's no rush.

No, no. I'd like to get out
before it gets too hot.

Did you get 14 across?

I haven't started yet.

Ritual samurai
suicide in four-four.

Hara-kiri.

Terrific.

Don't forget your hat.

Ah, you got it.

Good as new.

I'll put them
in the wardrobe,
shall I?

No, no, no.
Just hang it on the door.

I want to try it on,
see if it still fits.

Honestly, Joseph,
this television program,

it's just complete nonsense,
I don't know what
they're talking about.

Must be funny.

Do you know,
I stupidly left my glasses
over at Robert's yesterday?

Your driving glasses?

No, the tinted ones.

I'm an idiot.

I had them on the table
while we were having a drink.

I was wearing
the other ones
in the car.

Check the car again.

Yes, I did that.

They're the only
prescription glasses
I've got.

Well, you could
always phone Robert

and he could bring
them the next time
he's calling over.

Yes, I could.

But I might
need them sooner
rather than later.

Oh, I could
just nip over.

Is it all right?

You don't need me to come
to the market or anything?

No, I don't.

Will you be back for lunch?

Of course.

Unless Robert
stops for a natter.
If he does, I'll ring you.

I don't want to linger.

I won't be long.

Go gently, Joseph.

Don't wear yourself out again.

I won't. Promise.

Merci beaucoup.

No.

Look, I know.
It can't do any
harm anyway, can it?

No, no, I'm...

Oh, hang on a sec,
your father's just come in.
Hold on.

Did you get them?

Get what?

Your glasses.

Oh, yes,
they're in the car.

And how was Robert?

What?

Oh, fine.
I barely saw him.

That's Michael on the phone.
Do you want to say
a word to him?

No, I'm a little tired.

I might have
a quick lie-down.

Won't be long.
Say hello to him for me.

Sorry. Sorry, darling.
It was just...

Having a word with
your father there.

He's, uh...

He's gone to have a lie-down.
He says to say hello.

I think he's just tired.

I do tell him, Michael.

God, Michael, I love you, too,
I really do, I really...

I just can't wait to see you.

Well, I can't believe it.

I haven't worn
this for so long.

I mean,
it just fits me like a glove
after all those steaks.

You look beautiful, my love.

I know this restaurant.

We've eaten here before,
haven't we? Yeah.

Very good food,
if I remember.

I can't see them.
They're not here, are they?

Joseph.

Joseph.

Oh, hello there.

Hi. Nice to see you.
Hello. Nice to see you again.

I'm so sorry we're late.

Brenda.
Oh, Mark.

Joseph.
How are you doing,
my darling?

Very good.
Very good, indeed.

You look absolutely stunning,
and what a beautiful necklace.

Yes, Joseph gave me that
as a present, years ago.

Harris, table for four.

Four.

Ready to go in?
Thank you.

Yes?
Yes, yes.

You look lovely.

Thank you.

Shall we?

Would you like another glass?

Yes, please.

Yes, I'm having
another glass of wine.

Thank you very much.
You're so charming.

Of course
you're having another
glass of wine.

And this is
a fantastic wine.

Really?
Mmm. Made just
around the corner.

Robert showed me.

Oh, I know,
Joseph told me
all about that.

Robert showed you all around
the vineyard and everything.

Uh-huh.
And that came from
your interest in wine.

Well, it's more of
a hobby right now.

But, you know,
hopefully, you never know.

I know, you do,
you never know.

Indeed, my nephew...

She's a lovely lady.

Yes.

Yes, she is.

How long have you two been...

Fifty years.

We met in 1962
when I was 23.

Suzanne?

Something wrong?

I'm sorry, Joseph. I'm...

It's nothing. I think...

I don't feel very well.
Too much heat today.

Excuse me
just a moment, please.

All right?

Yes, I'm fine.

Just going to
the ladies' room.

Well, permit me to
accompany you, madame?

Oh, thank you.

I mean, not all the way,
of course.

But I must make
a stop of my own.

Oh, Mark,
you are such a gentleman.

Thank you very much.
I know.

Do you know what
I said earlier?

That you reminded me
of my son,

because he is
the perfect gentleman.

Is he really?

He really is.
He's...

Very charming.

He asked me to
marry him today.

We went back
to the tower.

You know, the one up the hill.

He had champagne
with him and everything.

I hadn't even noticed
he brought his bag with him.

Well, that's wonderful,
isn't it?

Oh, Joseph, I don't know.

I mean, yes, yes, it is.
It's wonderful.

But I don't know.
I don't know what I want.

Everything
all right, sir, madam?

Yes, yes. Thank you.

Would you like
another bottle?

Yes. No, no.

No, not at the moment.

Very good, sir.

...where I want it.

I think you're
very good at it.

Yeah.

I think you should
continue with that.

It's a very good opening.

I'm definitely gonna
continue with that.

Well, good luck with it.

Thank you very much, Mark.

There you go.

That isn't
an Irish song.

Come on,
think of an Irish song.

That is an Irish song,
isn't it?

No, I don't think so.
Is it?

I don't know.
Yes, it is.

I've been away from
Ireland so long...

Now, you promised that
we could come back
and stay next year.

You can, absolutely.
And you can come and visit...

And you have to take
me to the wine bar.
Wine bar.

You're drunk.
Oh, absolutely.

Have I given you
my address?

You're drunk.
I'm sorry, Joseph.

I think I put your wife
a little bit tipsy.

I beg your pardon?

It's all that
excellently cool wine.

Um... Oh, shite!

I forgot to post my letters.

No, not now,
Brenda.
What's this?

Oh, come on.
I forgot to post,
I don't believe this.

She forgot to
post her letter.
Yeah.

I forgot to post
all my letters.

Look, there are
three letters here...

We must find a post-box.

They have to go in
the morning post.
Mark.

It's all right.
I'll post them
in the morning.

No, you will not.
We will post them tonight.

There's one here to Joan.

She's lying in bed,
crippled with arthritis.
That's a week...

A week later
without a letter.

Okay, listen.
You two stay here,

the lady and I
are on a mission.

On a mission where?

We're gonna go
and find a postbox.

Oh, fabulous!
Thank you very much. Bye.

Okay.

Oh!
Wait, wait, wait.

I'll pick this up.

No.

Where do we start?
Where do we look first?

I say we go this way.

Okeydokey,
you're the boss.

Sorry about that.
He gets a bit theatrical
when he's drunk.

First time I met him,
you know,

he serenaded me
in the middle
of the street.

In Brixton.

Suzanne.

You mustn't...

Forgive me.

But I can't help
but say this.

You mustn't do anything
that you don't want to do.

I mean,

when it comes to
something like this,

you must
follow your heart.

Oh, Joseph, bless you.
You're such a lovely man.

It is such a shame
you never had daughters.

You'd have made
a wonderful father
to daughters.

Suzanne...

Mission accomplished.

Already?

- Yes.
- Absolutely.

Oh, you will
never believe this.

You know what we found
just around the corner?

A little postbox.

Yes.

We did a little lap,
didn't we?

We did a little lap.
Very good for the
digestion, too.

All right,
is everyone ready
for some taxi time?

I'll go and...
I'll go and ask.
Good.

Joseph...

Joseph, I feel
absolutely awful. Oh...

I really... I really do
feel bad. Take me home.

Is, uh, she gonna
be all right?

She'll be fine.
She's not used to
drinking so much.

I'm so sorry, Joseph.

This is completely
my fault. I...

I apologize.

But listen,
thank you so much for that
wonderful day at Robert's.

Absolutely made our holiday.

So thank you
so much, and it was
a pleasure meeting you.

Thank you.

Thank you, Joseph.
I really mean it.

It's been very
special meeting you.

Take care.

...lead researcher on this

project which
identified this beastie,

which can deal with knotweed.
How does it do it,
Dr. Shulman?

Hi, good morning.

Um, well, what it does is
it sucks the sap
out of the plants,

and it's mainly
the nymph stage
that does that.

The adults just lay the eggs
and select the plant
it wants to feed on.

In this case, knotweed,
and the nymphs get to work

and the plant becomes stunted,
and suffers,
and less competitive.

And that's the way
to deal with it, is it?

Well,
it's the only long-term...

I think you are looking
a bit better today.

That's good.
That's good.

I thought I was
going to have to call
that doctor again.

Rest.

Rest, Joseph.

Rest and get
your strength back.

You've got to
mind yourself, Joseph.

I'll be close by

in the next room.

If you need me.
