- 03:39- It's nothing to laugh at, Del.
- 03:41I mean, look at it.
- 03:42- Oh no, they're only kids though, innit they?
- 03:44I used to do the same sort of thing when I was a nipper.
- 03:47I remember me and Albie Littlewood,
- 03:49we let a couple of tires down once.
- 03:51You should have seen the palaver it caused.
- 03:54Everyone had to get off the bus.
- 03:56(audience laughs)
- 03:58Those were the days.
- 04:00Still, I'll go around the garage
- 04:02and get the foot pump for you.
- 04:04- Yeah, right.
- 04:06Oi, hold on.
- 04:08What do you mean you'll get me the foot pump?
- 04:12- You ain't getting half independent, innit ya?
- 04:15All right, go and get your own foot pump.
- 04:18- More like it.
- 04:45(engine rumbles)
- 05:19- All right, champ, what're you doing?
- 05:22- Running away from home.
- 05:24- Running away from home, are ya?
- 05:27You ain't got very far, have you?
- 05:30- My mum says I mustn't cross the road.
- 05:32(audience laughs)
- 05:35- That makes it difficult then, doesn't it?
- 05:39Where's your brother?
- 05:41- His dad says he has to go in.
- 05:45- Does he?
- 05:49Well I reckon that's the best place for you to go
- 05:51and all, don't you?
- 05:52- She'll kill me.
- 05:54- No, she won't.
- 05:57Listen, they were my tires that you let down, wasn't they?
- 06:00So I'll come home with you
- 06:02and I'll tell your mum that I asked you
- 06:05to let my tires down 'cause I wanted to see
- 06:08how long it would take my brother
- 06:09to pump them back up again.
- 06:10(audience laughs)
- 06:12How's that, eh?
- 06:13- All right, then.
- 06:14- There, good boy.
- 06:16See, now it makes sense.
- 06:20Come on, then.

- 06:32-[Jason] He's got a funny old hat,
- 06:33wears pajamas under his mac.
- 06:35- That's not a bogeyman, that's my grandad.
- 06:37(audience laughs)
- 06:41All right, come on.
- 06:42Is this it, your house, is it?
- 06:44-[Jason] Yes.
- 06:45- All right, now don't you worry.
- 06:46(doorbell rings)
- 06:47She'll be as sweet as a nut, I'll guarantee.
- 06:48Just stay there.
- 06:52- Where have you been?
- 06:54I was just about to call the police.
- 06:56Look at the state of ya.
- 06:58Go and put your pajamas on.

- 07:21- About six weeks ago.
- 07:22Here, don't stand out there.
- 07:24People'll think you're the tallyman.
- 07:26Come in.
- 07:27- Right.
- 07:29What about the old man?
- 07:30- He's gone away for a bit.
- 07:32- Oh, gone away for a bit.
- 07:33Anyone we know?
- 07:34(audience laughs)
- 07:38- He's sound already.
- 07:40Didn't even want a bedtime story tonight.
- 07:42- He's a little scallywag, innit he, eh?
- 07:44- Oh, he's a right handful.
- 07:46Do you know what he did today?
- 07:48-[Del] No.
- 07:49- He only let the tires down
- 07:50on some crappy old three wheeled van over there.
- 07:52(audience laughs)
- 07:53- Oh yeah.
- 07:54- I think he misses his dad.
- 07:56- Yeah, I used to miss my dad
- 07:58'til I learned to punch straight.
- 08:00When's the old man get out?
- 08:02- Oh, he's not in prison, Del.
- 08:04No, he works on an oil rig.
- 08:06- Oh, I see.
- 08:07When are you expecting him back then?
- 08:09- About six months if he keeps his nose clean.
- 08:13I'd've popped over and seen ya,
- 08:15but I didn't think for one minute
- 08:17you'd still be living here.
- 08:19Do you remember what you used to say to me
- 08:21all those years ago?
- 08:22- I can remember quite a lot of funny things
- 08:23I used to say to you.
- 08:25- I don't mean that.
- 08:27You used to say this time next year
- 08:30I'll be a millionaire.
- 08:31- Did I?
- 08:32(audience laughs)
- 08:35What a wally.
- 08:36(audience laughs)
- 08:38Well, we were much younger then, weren't we?
- 08:40Anything seemed possible in them days.
- 08:42Yeah, yeah, how long ago was it
- 08:44that, you know, you and I, well,
- 08:45we stopped seeing each other?
- 08:47- Must be 19 years now.
- 08:50- 19, 19 years?
- 08:52- It is longer than that, in fact.
- 08:54We broke up in September, 1965,
- 08:58just after Albie Littlewood's funeral.
- 09:01- That's right.
- 09:02We were a right little team up to then, weren't we, eh?
- 09:05- The famous four.
- 09:06You and me, Albie and what was his girlfriend's name?
- 09:10- It was Deirdre.
- 09:12- That's it, Deirdre.
- 09:15- You know, I often wonder what would've happened
- 09:16if he hadn't been coming over to see me that night.
- 09:20You know, if he hadn't taken a shortcut
- 09:21across the railway line.
- 09:22(audience laughs)
- 09:24You know, if his bike hadn't accidentally fallen
- 09:27on the live rail.
- 09:28- Yes.
- 09:30- I mean, what's the point of talking about ifs.
- 09:32If me brother had been a bird,
- 09:33he would've been my sister, would he, eh?
- 09:35(audience laughs)
- 09:36- Oh, you had a kid brother.
- 09:38Rodney.
- 09:39How is he?
- 09:40- Oh, he's all right, all right.
- 09:41He's just reached that awkward age.
- 09:42You know, he's a bit like a trifle.
- 09:44- What do you mean, mixed up?
- 09:45- No, no, he's thick and fruity.
- 09:46(audience laughs)
- 09:49- Oh, what about your grandad?
- 09:52- Oh, grandad, well, he's not too fit at the moment.
- 09:54He's laid up in Dock, but I sometimes think
- 09:57given half the chance he could be thick and fruity and all.
- 10:01- I take it you never got married.
- 10:02- Eh, me, no, no, no, no.
- 10:05No, I just get engaged.
- 10:08Talking about that,
- 10:09you still got my engagement ring?
- 10:10- Yeah, you don't want it back, do you?
- 10:13- No, no, no, no.
- 10:14No, I was just wondering, that was all.
- 10:17I was just wondering like,
- 10:18'cause you know, I could always whip over home
- 10:20and get my Sheena Easton LP if you like.
- 10:22(audience laughs)
- 10:24- There's not much point.
- 10:26I haven't got a record player.
- 10:29- Oh, I'll have to keep my eye open for one for you then,
- 10:32wouldn't I, eh?
- 10:34Don't worry, you leave it to me, all right?
- 10:36-[June] Oh Del.

- 12:00- What're you doing here?

- 12:32- Don't you start getting lippy.
- 12:35I don't know what you brought that around for
- 12:36'cause they ain't got a record player.
- 12:38- It's all right, I ain't got a record.
- 12:40(audience laughs)
- 12:41- You are a saucy little git.
- 12:44Oi, I got one of those at home on the sideboard.

- 14:59but it's always been something that's been bothering me.
- 15:01- Look, if it's something from the past,

- 15:04- No, no, it's just I always wondered
- 15:06why it was that you left so suddenly like that

- 18:24I didn't know how you'd take the news.
- 18:30- I'm just going to the bog.
- 18:31(audience laughs)
- 18:39- All right, Del boy?
- 18:40- No, I'm not all right, Trig.

- 18:47- Hang on, Del.
- 18:48Leave it to me.
- 18:50Come on, hurry up.
- 18:51We've got an emergency out here.
- 18:53(audience laughs)
- 18:54- No, no, not that, Trigger.
- 18:55Come here.
- 18:56Listen to me.
- 18:57Do you remember about 20 years ago,
- 18:59I was engaged to that bird, right?
- 19:01- What, June?
- 19:02- Yeah, June.
- 19:03- Yeah, I remember her.
- 19:04She's back on the estate now.
- 19:05- That's right.
- 19:06Well, she's got a 19 year old kid.
- 19:08- Yeah, Debbie.
- 19:09Works in the paper shop, so what?
- 19:10- So what?
- 19:12Me and Junie broke up about 19 and a half years ago, right?
- 19:16That means she was expecting her at the time
- 19:18which means Debbie is my kid.
- 19:23- But she's a pretty girl.
- 19:25(audience laughs)
- 19:27- Of course she is.
- 19:29I mean look, it's a chip off the old block, innit, eh?
- 19:34- Did June say nothing to you at the time?
- 19:36- No, not a dicky bird.
- 19:37- You sure, Del?
- 19:39- Well, I woulda remembered something like that, Trig,
- 19:40wouldn't I?
- 19:41- You sure she's your kid?
- 19:43- She's gotta be.
- 19:44I mean, she's just gotta be.
- 19:47- Yeah, the little cow short changed me the other day.
- 19:49(audience laughs)
- 19:50- That is it then, isn't it?
- 19:53- Have you told the rest of the family?
- 19:54- No, no, I've only just found out myself.
- 19:56God knows what grandad and Rodney are gonna say
- 19:58when they find,
- 20:00Rodney, Rodney!

- 20:20- You're back early, ain't ya?
- 20:21- Yes, ain't we just, eh?
- 20:24I'm going to bed, Del.
- 20:26-[Del] No listen, Junie, we've got to talk.
- 20:28- Look, I knew this is how you'd behave.
- 20:30That's why I didn't tell ya.
- 20:32I'll see you around sometime.
- 20:35- No listen, June.
- 20:36-[June] Maybe.
- 20:37- Look, we've gotta talk.
- 20:41- You made another lasting impression then I see.
- 20:44- Rodney, come on, get out of there, come on.
- 20:46Give Debbie some air.
- 20:47Poor girl can't breathe.
- 20:48- Are you all right?
- 20:50You want another brandy, Deb?
- 20:51- No, she don't.
- 20:52- I make my own decisions, thank you.
- 20:54- Yes, of course, of course.
- 20:56It's just that if you have too much to drink
- 20:58you might make yourself sick
- 20:59and you don't want to be ill for your party next week.
- 21:02It's Debbie's birthday next week, Rodney.
- 21:04- Yeah?
- 21:05I thought it was mine tonight.
- 21:06(audience laughs)
- 21:09- I'll get you a nice present, shall I, dear?
- 21:14I'll get you a solid gold watch, eh?
- 21:16A couple of hundred quid at least.
- 21:17No rubbish.
- 21:19- All right.
- 21:20- What's your game, Del?
- 21:21(audience laughs)
- 21:23- Just feeling generous, that's all.
- 21:27Come on, Rodney, I'll give you a lift home, come on.
- 21:29- Del, we only live 50 yards across precinct.
- 21:33- I know that, I know, but when I came back tonight
- 21:35there was a load of muggers hanging about.
- 21:37- Oh yeah?
- 21:37- Yeah.
- 21:41- Well, perhaps I better go, Debs.
- 21:42I gotta be up early.
- 21:43- All right, then, goodnight.
- 21:47- Goodnight.
- 21:52Pleasant dreams.
- 21:57(door bangs)
- 21:58(audience laughs)
- 22:02- Well, night, Debs.
- 22:04- Goodnight.
- 22:05-[Del] Come on, Rodney!
- 22:07(audience laughs)
- 22:11- Just what is your game, Del?
- 22:12All that shall I buy you a nice gold watch,
- 22:14shall I, dear?
- 22:15And sweet dreams.
- 22:18- I was just being friendly, that's all.
- 22:20- You're trying to pull her, innit ya?
- 22:21- I am not trying to pull her.
- 22:22(audience laughs)
- 22:23What do you think I am,
- 22:24some kind of sicko or something?
- 22:26- You're trying to interfere
- 22:27between me and Debbie, innit ya?
- 22:28- I am not trying to interfere, Rodney.
- 22:30Now listen, Rodney, look,
- 22:32I don't think that you two are right for each other.
- 22:35- It's got nothing to do with you.
- 22:38Me and Debbie think we're right for each other.
- 22:41Matter of fact, we're thinking of getting engaged.
- 22:43- You're what?
- 22:45(audience laughs)
- 22:47You can't get engaged to her, Rodney.
- 22:49What I mean is, what I mean,
- 22:51you're too young.
- 22:54- I'm 24, Del.
- 22:56By the time you was my age,
- 22:57you'd been engaged to every bird this side of the water.
- 22:59(audience laughs)
- 23:03No, you're just jealous, innit ya?
- 23:04You can't stand the thought that I might end up
- 23:05with a nice little wife.
- 23:10- You're gonna end up with a nice little stretch
- 23:11if you ain't careful.
- 23:14Rodney, you mustn't get engaged to her.
- 23:16- You give me one good reason why I mustn't.
- 23:19- Because she's my daughter.
- 23:21(audience laughs)
- 23:27That's why.
- 23:36- Debbie is your daughter?
- 23:37- Yeah.
- 23:41- No, it's not real.
- 23:43No, it's not happening to me.
- 23:44I tell you, I'm in the middle of a bad trip
- 23:45and I'm gonna wake up in a minute.
- 23:47- I've worked it out on the calculator, Rodney.
- 23:52Me and Junie broke up 19 and a half years ago.
- 23:54It's Debbie's 19th birthday next week.
- 23:57You're the one with the GCE in maths.
- 23:59You work it out yourself.
- 24:03- No, she probably met someone after you.
- 24:05- No, she was born a couple of months after.
- 24:08- Well then she was premature.
- 24:09- Premature, she'd have to be bloody instant, Rodney.
- 24:11(audience laughs)
- 24:15- But she's a pretty girl.
- 24:17(audience laughs)
- 24:20- I know that.
- 24:23I can see mum in her.
- 24:27Come on, cheer up, Rodney.
- 24:30- Cheer up?
- 24:33Del, I've just met the first girl in my life
- 24:35who really means something to me
- 24:37and it turns out to be my bloody niece.
- 24:40(audience laughs)
- 24:44- All right, Rodney, come on.
- 24:48That's why I had to tell you, you see?
- 24:51'Cause this sort of thing, it ain't allowed.
- 24:55It's, well it's incense.
- 24:57(audience laughs)
- 25:04Say you had got married to her, okay?
- 25:07You can see what sort of confusion that would've led to.
- 25:10I would have been your father-in-law.
- 25:12(audience laughs)
- 25:14- Bloody hell.
- 25:15- Your mother-in-law would've been your aunt.
- 25:18Your wife would've been your second cousin.
- 25:19(audience laughs)
- 25:21Lord knows what that would've made grandad.
- 25:22The fairy godmother, I suppose.
- 25:25(audience laughs)
- 25:26- Del, are you absolutely certain of this?
- 25:30- Yeah, well, certain as I'll ever be.
- 25:33Just think though, Rodney,
- 25:35young Debbie's grown up all these years
- 25:37and she never knew that I,
- 25:42I was her daddy.
- 25:45Think I ought to tell her?
- 25:48- Eh?
- 25:49No, no, that could come as a great disappoint,
- 25:52great shock.
- 25:54- Perhaps you're right.
- 25:56- You do something for me, Del?
- 25:57- Yeah, sure.
- 25:59- You go and see June, right.
- 26:02You go and see her and you find out if it's definitely,
- 26:05definitely, definite.
- 26:08- Yeah, tomorrow, definite, promise.
- 26:14- Well, I'm going to bed.
- 26:19I bet I'll have a nightmare.
- 26:24I bet I'll have a nightmare where my wife
- 26:25keeps calling me Uncle Rodney.
- 26:27(audience laughs)
- 26:31- All right, Del, you've got five minutes.
- 26:33Say what you have to say and then go.
- 26:35- Is Debbie in?
- 26:37- No, she's gone over to her aunties.
- 26:40Look, if you've come here to dig up the past again
- 26:42you can forget it.
- 26:43- Come on, Junie, things have got to be discussed.
- 26:45- What sort of things?
- 26:47- Look Junie, I know.
- 26:49- So you said last night.
- 26:51- Well then are you gonna tell her or shall I?
- 26:53- Tell her what?
- 26:54- Come on, June, don't play the innocent with me.
- 26:57Tell her that I am her father.
- 27:03- You're her,
- 27:06oh, Del, when you said you knew,
- 27:10I thought you really knew.
- 27:14Debbie's not your kid.
- 27:18- She is.
- 27:22Come on, look, she was born six months after we broke up.
- 27:26She's gotta be.
- 27:27If I'm not her father then who is?
- 27:33- Albie Littlewood.
- 27:34(audience laughs)
- 27:38- Albie Littlewood?
- 27:42Albie Littlewood,
- 27:45my bestest friend in all the world.
- 27:50Greatest pal a bloke could have.
- 27:55And all the time he was doinking my bird.
- 27:57(audience laughs)
- 27:59- That's why I left.
- 28:03- How could he do it to me?
- 28:05We was blood brothers.
- 28:07- We were just kids.
- 28:09We were just playing games.
- 28:12That night he died on the railway lines,
- 28:15he wasn't coming to meet you in the pub.
- 28:18He was coming to meet me.
- 28:21- Nigh on 20 years I've carried that guilt around with me.
- 28:25It's hung around my neck like some great two ton medallion.
- 28:29- Well, now you're free of it, innit ya?
- 28:33Albie didn't take the shortcut for you.
- 28:37- It's not the reason why I was feeling guilty.
- 28:39'Cause if he had made it across the railway lines that night
- 28:42he wouldn't have met me in the pub.
- 28:45I wasn't in the pub.
- 28:47I was around at his bird, Dierdre's place.
- 28:49(audience laughs)
- 28:50- You were with Dierdre?
- 28:53- It's all right, June.
- 28:55We were only playing games.
- 28:58Only playing games.
- 29:00- Well, you dirty little toe rag.
- 29:03- Hello, mum.
- 29:04- Hello, love.
- 29:05- I brought Micky back.
- 29:07We're going to my room to listen to the radio.
- 29:09- Good evening young Michael.
- 29:12All right?
- 29:14- What ya, Del?
- 29:16I just met Debbie walking across the estate.
- 29:18I thought I better make sure she got home safely.
- 29:20- Oh yes, so you thought you'd escort a young lady
- 29:22back to her bedroom, eh?
- 29:24- What's this for, you know?
- 29:26- Yeah, I know, Mickey.
- 29:30I know only too well, my son.
- 29:32Goodnight to you all.
- 29:34Oh, Mickey, make sure you don't take the shortcut
