03:36Any other questions? Don't worry. I'll be back
03:41Great
03:44Well, it's from the council
03:48Building inspector
03:54I don't know what you're worried about
03:56What they like social workers Trevor once they get hold of you
04:00We've done that wrong
04:02Have we?
04:06Good day at work
04:10I'll count the biscuits never fails more you've eaten unless you've done. What do you mean? He's been leaving some
04:19Yes, congrat Laura all the major stuff it's a tickly boo
04:24right
04:25We need to talk about color schemes. I
04:27Haven't got the charts with me. I'll get him first thing in the morning. No need
04:32Now a good time
04:43So we've got it down to a choice between bitter sunshine and starburst yellow
04:51Yeah
04:54Don't desert me now Trevor, you know what I'm like about making decisions
05:00Can I ask you something Laura, yeah, of course
05:08Are you sure about these bright colors
05:16You're right Trevor fine
05:18Fine
05:21If there's something bothering you just say if it's anything I've done no, no, it's nothing honest
05:31Not very good
05:49I
05:50Remember when you took me to that restaurant
05:53Yeah, of course
05:55Now don't get me wrong. Yeah, I really enjoyed being with you
06:00But you know what it's like when someone plants the seed
06:05That's why I don't understand sure if you have to explain
06:08Joe
06:16Reckoned that you and Paul weren't getting on so well
06:21You know rowing and fighting and that what he said what he said that you only asked us out
06:29to get back at Paul
06:32Sort of using me
06:38I
06:40Knew I should have kept me mouth shut
06:43Dog
06:46All right
06:48Can I do for you well for a start you can stay out of my personal life
06:52You what look I realize you're bound to see a certain amount of domestic strife
06:57But don't make the mistake of thinking that you understand because you don't okay
07:00Fine. No, it isn't fine
07:02It's insulting. I mean, do you think I haven't got any friends?
07:07Do you really think that if I wanted to upset Paul I couldn't find someone more suitable than Trevor
07:15Look I'm not interested in your marriage. I just didn't want to see Trevor getting hurt. That's all you're so considerate
07:21Well, he was going through a difficult patch at the time if you remember just split up with his wife stop
07:27Bullshitting Joe
07:28The fact is you had no business meddling. You're the builder what goes on between me and Paul is nothing to do with you
07:34Okay, you say so
07:36Oh, and by the way for your information, there's absolutely nothing wrong with the state of my marriage
07:53Hope this makes you very happy
08:06Well
08:11Up to the job doesn't look like the standard size
08:17No, I know it's a bit bigger be on the safe side
08:37I
08:38Should have put vents in
08:40These timbers need to dry out either born dry them on have you seen this staining?
08:45That's preserved if I put two courts on all right. All right, mr. Perry. We'll put Benson
08:59Mr. Perry we're really sorry about the conservatory. I
09:03I
09:04Know we shouldn't have knocked it down, but don't take it out on us. We didn't know it was listed
09:09I'll pretend not to hear that
09:12but
09:14Speaking strictly off the record. I don't blame you
09:17Nightmare to maintain mr. Perry
09:20What's going on?
09:22Well, it's early days, but from what I've seen so far
09:28Looks like you know first-class job
09:31Because there's the plague pits to consider what's that? Oh, it's the area's lizard room
09:39Yeah, but you don't know there's one under here well I'd have to investigate but it could have ramifications structurally
09:45There's a foot and a half of concrete down. It would have to come up
09:50But we've got to finish the job if there's one thing I've learned in this game there is no such thing as a short cut
09:58I'm serving you with a stop notice effective immediately
10:11You know let's go back home
10:15But to what what you on the door when me doing poxy kitchens all me life we need this it's a stepping stone
10:25We'll just carry on
10:27You know on the quiet. Well, we so much as lift a screwdriver. We are too grand Pura
10:33Could be weeks
10:37Like a mantra Paul warned us about this negative thinking you're right
10:42We mustn't worry about silly little things like being paid mystery because Paul's gone down the council
10:47Paul will solve everything my hero my ass
10:52You shouldn't let me come with you. I'm used to dealing with councils. They wouldn't even see me
10:57For you we put off by the suit didn't fancy any double glazing
11:02We've got just about enough money to keep Jo and Trevor on for the next two weeks
11:06Which is when they were supposed to be finished now when mr. Perry finally gives us the green light we won't have enough money to complete
11:13Be something we can do. Yeah. Well, I was thinking about your father
11:19He knows everyone in that time we were at lunch and it turns out I was sitting next to the local MP
11:25He knows he's got lawyers Laura we go to Henry that's your plan. Yeah, I
11:33Know it's a bit rich coming from me. I
11:36Thought you'd rather crawl over broken glass. That was just a figure of speech you hypocrite
11:43Do you want Laura want us to get on we need to get this guy off our backs?
11:48Henry can do that then we can worry about everything else afterwards
11:51I had thought we might be able to sort this mess out ourselves
11:53If you hadn't tied both my hands behind my back, we wouldn't be in this mess meaning the kid is job
11:59Don't you dare? I never stopped you. Yes, you did. I risked everything to stay. I nearly got sacked
12:05Go on then sod off to Spain. I don't care. Right? I will good
12:10I don't bother coming back
12:21I
12:31Never thought I'd come to this
12:35I'm not been married that long
12:38Joe I
12:40Don't know there's times like this you have to think by yourself
12:46No, don't worry I've been doing for years easy
12:51I'll go Laura's that but Laura's think well, she needs a house to live in don't she? Yeah, you hold the phone
12:58What will I say to her nothing just say nothing okay, no problem I
13:06Really like it though. Don't you just plain trouble just plain?
13:21I
13:51Maddie it's bad time. No, no, no, I'm intrigued must have this Marcos the city
14:12Right the chopper on it
14:21I
14:28Know
14:30Great, so all it takes is a word from you essentially though knowing Hugo an expensive dinner is sure to figure somewhere
14:38Fantastic. Well, that's the theory see there is one thing rather troubling me
14:43Why would Laura send you?
14:46I mean Laura wants this guy out the way as much as we'd yeah, I'm sure she'd be in touch until then not bloody like
14:58You're not having any
