There's a pint with my name on it.'
Mum, could you give me and Jess

Oh. Yeah.
It's like a minute out of your way.
Fine.
Thanks, Mum.

I just didn't see you. Are you OK?
No. My wrist!
Oh
I think that's broken.
It could not be.
It could just be bruising.
I'm a doctor.
Right, well, it probably is, then.
OK, I can take you to the hospital.
Right, this might fit in the back, actually.
No, I don't think it will.

Oh, God, I feel so bad.
Are you gonna be able to work?
Yeah, mostly. I'm a GP.
Well, good job
you're not a heart surgeon.
The hazards of being a cyclist.
You'd be surprised how many
appalling drivers there are.
It was Ollie's fault!
He left his trainers in the back,
and then he calls me
and asks me to take them,
and I swing round,
and there you are.
There I am. Mm.
Well, these are not the
circumstances I would have chosen,
but, erm hello!
Hello.
Look, I'm I'm really sorry,
but when we collided,
I was on my way to meet someone.
Do you mind if I just make a
quick call, tell them I'll be late?
Yeah, no, of course.
Beth, if you need to go somewhere
or do something
No, I am taking you to the hospital,
and I'm gonna wait with you,
and then I'll drive you home.
Shall I do that? You can Road?
What's? Well, who is it?
It's Dickhead Dave.
Dickhead Dave?
Yeah.
OK. Well, there's Cockhead Colin.
Bit worried about giving you

OK. Thank you.
What they saying?
Yeah, it's gonna be hours for
the X-ray, but
Oh, shit. Sorry.
I'll get me triaged in a minute
to get some drugs for the pain.
How are you doing, pain-wise?
Yeah, it's great, thanks
No, it's, erm It's pretty bad.
But I'm firming it, as the kids say.
Is that what they say?
Yeah, that's what they say.
Yeah, firming it.
Go, Beth, honestly.
I don't know how long it's gonna be.
But I feel responsible.
Well, you are.
They're cute together, aren't they?
Ollie and Jess?
They've been bending your ear
about this Blackpool trip?
Blackpool?
Ooh, I guess not.
No, go on. Blackpool. What?
No, I'm saying nothing.
No, just tell me what it is. You
can't do that face and not tell me.
Tell me!
I'm saying nothing.
Hannah will know about that.
I'll be the last to find out.
You know what it's like.
Can I get you a drink?
Mmm!
Well, I guess I should, erm
Hm.
Oh, shit!
HE CHUCKLES
Sorry.
Mmm, medicine!
SHE CHUCKLES
Do you think that they've, erm?
What?
You know
You mean?
Yeah.
Er, yeah, probably.
Really?
Yeah, of course. What do you think?
Yes!
Oh, my God.
We're gonna be Grandma and Grandad.
Stop it.
No, but we are.
Stop it!
Thomas Kirkman?
Oh, yes, that's me. Thank you.
You go. It's gonna be ages.
Well, I'll come back
and pick you up.
I'll get your number from Jess.
I am really sorry.
I know.
It's OK, you can leave us.
I'll be in the office
if you need me.
HE BREATHES SHAKILY
I need to get out of here.
Dave, it's
I've been inside of her, Beth,
inside of that body.
And now she's just lay there.
This is sending me to a bad place.
I can't do it.
BETH SIGHS
SHE CHUCKLES SOFTLY
Sorry about Dave.
He's still a dickhead.
SHE CHUCKLES SOFTLY
I'm sorry
you wasted your life with him.
I really miss you.
DOOR OPENS
Sorry about that.
Look, I know this is a bit awkward.
You're the executor of her will.
I just want to say
that I-I don't want anything.
Just the house.
The house?
Come on, Beth.
I practically gave her that house
in the separation,
which was fine when she was alive,
but now she's dead.
Bye, Dave.
The mortgage isn't even paid off.
What are you gonna do with it?
SHE SIGHS
Hey. Look.
I think she wanted me to have it.
Sure, that's why she went
to the trouble of changing her will
cos she was still so fond of you
Don't you think
I don't feel the blame?
I leave her after 15 years
of marriage,
and then a few months later,
she drops dead.
People are gonna look at me and go,
"He did that to her."
Fuck off, Dave.
Urgh!
BAG UNZIPS
Shit.
PHONE DIALLING
'Hi, Mum.'
Hiya. Are you still with Jess?
'Yeah. Her dad's fine.'
Right, I have to go and pick him up.
I need his number.
Nah, there's no need.
Jess's mum's gone.
She'll be already there.
Oh, right, OK. Well, never mind.
'Mad you knocked over her dad.'
'Yeah, isn't it?'
Did you like him?
Yeah. Yeah, I did.
I really liked him.
Oh, Tom
That bike.
It scares the life out of me.
Three accidents in 12 years?
Statistically, that is very safe.
Well, I will quote that stat
at your funeral.
Hey, what was Ollie's mum like?
Yeah, she's nice.
Nice?
What was she - loud or quiet?
Was she funny? Serious?
I've no idea.
You have an opinion
on everyone, Tom.
I have an opinion on her driving.
Is she attractive?
Yeah.
HANNAH SCOFFS
I mean, in that obvious kind of way,
you know.
They still haven't said if they're
coming to my birthday party.
Well, does it matter?
Well, it's courtesy, isn't it?
I mean, Ollie is a lovely lad,
but
I get the impression
they're pretty chaotic.
Yeah.
How was it - crematorium?
Chapel of rest,
that's what they call it.
Basically just a back room
with some candles
and a picture of Jesus in it.
Looked like it should have had
a kettle and some brooms.
NEIL SCOFFS
She didn't look like herself.
But then I suppose she wouldn't,
would she?
She had all these
plans, you know.
It's not been the best time for us,
has it?
With this.
And all my shit.
HE SIGHS
We'll get through it.
'That's great work, ladies.
'That's it.
We're getting up nice and high.
'Hi there.
We just had our first class.
'We could just be doing this
at home, OK?
'Come to our class on a Wednesday!
Say hi, guys!'
Tom?
Yeah?
Are you listening to music?
No, it's
Yeah, I mean, no, it's a silly
It's a silly WhatsApp thing
from Ian.
Oh, OK. Erm
I'm gonna go to bed.
Yeah, yeah, I'll be a sec.
Don't be long.
PHONE CHIMES
SHE SIGHS
Good morning.
Boys, walk, please. Do not run.
Morning, Bernard.
It's "sir".
Sorry, Bernard.
THEY LAUGH
If eyes could kill.
THEY LAUGH
So, how was the big date?
Oh, terrible.
Honestly, Beth, he was sending me
all these filthy messages online,
and then when we finally meet up,
he's wearing a tank top and brogues.
Oh, Mrs Brookes. Can I have a word?
Sure.
It's Oliver.
I need you to speak to him.
He keeps calling me Bernard.
Right.
You see, I let it go at first,
but now others
have started doing it.
I was in the Co-op the other day,
and two Year 10s said it.
Do your tie up, please.
Right. Well, that that sounds
You see, we don't have names,
Mrs Brookes.
We are Sir or Miss,
and that is right and proper.
It's the way it is.
I'll have a word with him.
Thank you.
THEY SNICKER
Oh, and, erm
Oh, I see. Funny, is it?
No, not funny at all.
You'd think you'd want your son
on the straight and narrow
with your husband facing jail.
How'd you? You what?
You heard.
How do you know that?
Remove your hands, Mrs Brookes.
Don't you dare mention that in this
school. I said remove your hand.
Keep your nose out of my business.
If Oliver uses my name again,
then I will be going to the head
about his suspension, OK? Thank you.
Mr Brookes?
Yeah.
I've had a look online, and
ABH doesn't always get
a prison sentence, does it, so?
It doesn't, but it can do.
And much of what determines that
is down to intention.
Now, there are several defences
available,
but the most compelling
is the use of reasonable force
to defend yourself.
Problem for us is making the case
that what you did was reasonable.
SHE MOUTHS
KNOCK ON DOOR,
HE MOUTHS
Yeah, hold on a second, please.
No, no, it's
it's not your patient.
It's It's Beth.
Oh, hello.
Hiya. Erm
You left this in my car.
I was on lunch,
so I just thought I'd drop it round.
You didn't have to do that.
You could've given it to Ollie
to drop back.
Oh, erm
Well, I was just still feeling
so bad, you know, so
How? How is your hand?
Oh, yeah,
it's better than I thought.
It's a hairline fracture.
Told you it weren't broken.
Yeah. You did.
Thank you. That's sweet of you
to come and check on me.
Us future grandparents need
to stick together. Yeah.
PHONE RINGS
Oh, erm
Unfortunately,
I'd love you to stay,
but I'm pretty sure you don't wanna
see what Mr Galbury has to show me.
No, I I definitely don't.
You definitely don't.
See you later.
DOOR CLOSES
I'm fucked. I have fucked myself.
This is karma, this is, for
Who is she?
Her name's Alicia.
She's a PA at work.
Whose PA?
No?
Oh, for fuck's sake.
How old?
I know. You don't have to say it.
Twat.
This is next-level, Tom.
This is life ruined.
How many weeks
pregnant is she?
Ten weeks.
If I

What? He's come squealing to you?
He's talking suspension.
He won't do that.
Well, I know him better than you.
Trust me, he would.
Night.
I'm not going bed yet.
Do you remember
when we used to talk?
What?
When you were little, you'd ask me
all these questions, like
"Why do camels have humps?"
And "What are rainbows for?"
And I'd try and answer,
and you'd say,
"But why, Mummy? Why?"
PHONE BUZZES
Don't, please. Please don't.
Then I'd get home, and we'd
we'd cuddle up on the couch

But you're little now.
I just I worry that

And we'll go to that party, yeah?
For Jess's mum.
Be fun. Let our hair down.
Nice.
You'll tell her, will you?
Dad, why do I have to come?
Because, my gorgeous girl,
if I'm suffering, you're suffering.
Finally!
You wearing that?
No, I'm just trying it on
for a future occasion
What's wrong with it?
Garden party
with the Bollinger brigade?
Oh, it's too much. I knew it.
Oh, no, no. You look good.
Let's just just go.
Just grab a bottle of wine,
and not that cheap stuff.

Er
How is it we're just meeting

Oh, Beth, while you're here,
maybe we could talk to Mum
about going to Blackpool?
Jess, come on,
you know my feelings about this.
Yeah, but Beth and Neil
are fine with it.
Yeah, but it has to be OK
with your mum and dad.
Yeah, we'd rather not.
It's a long way,
and anything can happen.
You can't go.
Shut it.
Right, you two, stop it.
Can you two stop it, please?
Daisy! Guys, stop showing us up.

I'm all right with this,

Yeah, fridge full. Do you wanna?
Come and choose.
So, Jess says you're at the school?
Oh, yeah. Only temporarily.
Right.
I used to have my own business,
you know, as a personal trainer,
but cost of living.
Yeah, right.
God, I could do with you.
I used to be fit as a fiddle.
I had a few health problems.
You look amazing.
Oh, thanks.
I wasn't digging, promise.
Well, I still do my Zumba class.
It's on a Wednesday night,

Oh, right. Where's that?
Oh, it's just at the church hall.
Ollie says you're a a fundraiser?
That's right.

it's just part-time, but
it feels good to make a difference,

Mm-hm.
OK, menu.
Marco's speciality
is a pisco sour, so
Cheers.
I didn't even know
you were at our practice.
Not that I go much.
I had my prostate checked last year.
That weren't you, were it?
You don't remember? I'm hurt.
NEIL LAUGHS
This is too boring.
Mm-hm.
Here.
Ollie!
I can't be off my face

Just do two. They're not strong.
Fine.
He's been great for Jessica.
She was having some trouble
last year.
You know, all the girls,
you know how it can be.
But, yeah, no,
since she's been with Oliver,
her confidence has skyrocketed.
Hasn't it, Tom?
I was just saying about Jess
and Ollie and her confidence.
Oh, yeah, yeah, definitely.
Yeah, well,
he's not short of confidence.
So, Ollie was saying
you do up buy-to-lets.
What, do you flip them?

No, I wish.
No, I'm just a hired hand.
Her sister's got the cash.

We need the dough, so, you know.

Hi.
Happy birthday!

Mingle, grab anything

Yeah.
I'm gonna go and say hello

What the fuck are you doing?

Being vulgar, being common.
It's like you wanna prove

DOOR SHUTS
Oh, wow.
Jess was obsessed with stars
and space when she was little.
She'd actually make me
lie on the trampoline in the garden
almost every night.
She'd drag me out there,
and we'd lie there for hours,
looking at the
looking at the sky in the hope
we'd see a shooting star.
So I thought I'd buy her
a second-hand telescope one birthday
and build this place.
Can I?
Of course.
It's quite clear,
so you should probably
You should be able to see something.
If you look through
yeah, that one.
And then it should be pointing
in the right direction. Like that?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah?
God, it makes you feel so small,
doesn't it?
Just insignificant.
I'm sorry about your friend.
Ally.
Ollie Ollie mentioned it to me.
What was she like?
It's awful, losing a friend.
It's like losing a sibling,
but no-one treats it like that.
You're not
allowed the same grief.
I don't think I realised
how much I'd come to depend on her.
It was like she
she filled something.
And after she split up with Dave
Dickhead Dave?
THEY CHUCKLE
It was like
she got her old self back.
And she was the fun Ally
and the carefree Ally.
She had this lightness again, and
I really envied her.
God, it's cruel, isn't it?
You get all that back, and then
you just drop down dead.

'Jess said
that Beth wasn't feeling well.'
That's why she left early.
Didn't want to make a fuss.
Hmm.
Asked for our numbers, apparently.
Wants to apologise.
Makes sense.
What did you think of them?
Oh, stop.
Come on!
I knew you'd say that. They're fine.
I really don't think we're gonna be
joint holidaying with them
any time soon, do you?
Of course we're not gonna be
going on holiday with them.
I thought you were great today.
Everyone kept telling me
how well you looked. Mm.
Like you were you again.
Not quite, but
Mm.
Oh
Thank you for a perfect day.
Mm-hm. Thank you.
Sorry.
Do you ever worry
that our best days are behind us?
Like, the chaos that we had
with our mates,
or even when the kids were young,
not going out, but
we had them, so that was enough.
Would it help
if I hired a cocktail waiter?

She used to have this amazing hair,
often with streaks of blue in it.
'She was just different
from everyone else.'
On top of that,
she was studying psychology,
and she used to quote
these psychological theories at me.
She had a crush on our lecturer.
LAUGHTER
And when I said
how ridiculous that was,
she said, "Beth
