It's hard to tell if someone was going to attack Sharon the way it's recorded.Elsewhere the plot continues much the same as previous episode.And by the end the situation with Arthur Fowler is desperate.

00:27Darren?
00:28Dad! There's something in the bushes!
00:31Right, you cuss, and I'm gonna have you.
00:34You stay there, darling, and I'm coming straight down.
00:36Dad! Dad, hurry up!
00:40Dad!
00:42Sharon!
00:43Dad!
00:45What is it? There's someone behind me.
00:46Well, who is it? I don't know. You saw him.
00:49I saw you, darling. I saw something in the bushes.
00:50One minute, next minute, it was gone.
00:52It was someone. That's fair enough. Come on in.
00:54No, I want to be with Mum. You're safer with me.
00:56Dad, I'd rather be with Mum.
00:58All right, fair enough. What are you doing out so late?
01:00I was up with shells. Why didn't Lofty walk you back to Peter?
01:02Because he wasn't feeling well. That's no excuse.
01:04Dad, I didn't want him to. You should have insisted.
01:07It wasn't his fault. OK, fair enough. I'll drive you there myself.
01:10No, I'll walk.
01:11You're gonna get in that car and I'm gonna drive you there,
01:13whether you like it or not. Now, come on!
01:22I wonder where he is. It's nearly 20 to 12.
01:24I've closed eighties ago.
01:26Yeah, he couldn't say he was going to the pub.
01:31Arthur. You're frankly living daylights out of me.
01:34Where have you been? Arthur?
01:39Up there, Lofty.
01:41At this hour? In the dark?
01:43Yeah.
01:45Arthur.
01:47I'm going to bed now.
01:48Strange, to say the least.
01:57I think I'd better go up.
01:58I think you had.
01:59Yeah.
02:07Oh, sorry, love.
02:10I want to give you another half hour.
02:11No, it's all right. I just dropped off.
02:13Oh, I'm sorry.
02:15Well, what's it matter?
02:16Everyone's going to clap through in a minute anyway.
02:19You see what I mean?
02:20Here, I want to see you on the stall sometime today.
02:22Oh, Dad, do I have to?
02:23Don't you do the old Dad's me?
02:24I'll be there by 12.30.
02:26Oi, get these big clothes put away.
02:28Don't even want your mother to do.
02:30Ah, what's all this?
02:32Increase your self-confidence.
02:34You having trouble in pulling birds or something?
02:37I don't believe it.
02:38You reading this?
02:39Yeah, well, I was just looking at it, you know, sort of out of interest.
02:41No, it's all nonsense, all this.
02:43I didn't need all this.
02:44Oh, Pete, come on.
02:45No, I'm right.
02:46If you want a bird, you just get in there and tell them.
02:48That's what I did, didn't I, Caff?
02:50Yeah.
02:50Look, you just go up to him and say,
02:51Oi, I'm going to take you out tonight.
02:53All right, some you win, some you lose.
02:55But either way, get some nice surprises.
02:56Isn't that right, Caff?
02:57I suppose so, Pete.
02:58No need to read rubbish like this.
03:00There's no mystery about women.
03:03Yeah, talking about women, I'm getting that bath on me before.
03:04The place fills up with them.
03:14Look, just be patient, all right?
03:18Your dad means well.
03:19Oh, yeah.
03:20Oh, come on, don't worry.
03:22Oh, but I do.
03:23Well, what's there to worry about?
03:24It'll happen.
03:25You're a good-looking boy.
03:26Do I smell?
03:27What?
03:28If I'm so good-looking, there's got to be something else, Mum.
03:30Oh, come on in, don't be stupid.
03:33All right, and you're a woman, you should know.
03:34What do I do?
03:36Oh, God knows.
03:37Spends what you want, I suppose.
03:39I mean, if you just want to collect girls like stamps and stick in your album, I don't know.
03:42And I don't think I want to know.
03:44But if it's just one special girl, well, you'll meet her one day and that'll be it.
03:48You'll know exactly how to behave and so on.
03:51I'll tell you what, Mum.
03:52I think I'll try Dad's advice first.
03:54Thanks, anyone.
03:54I'll tell you what, Mum.
04:00Den says there might have been somebody there.
04:03He couldn't swear to it.
04:04He couldn't swear there was neither.
04:05Yeah, but Sharon's no fool.
04:07She wouldn't have been scared.
04:08That's what I think.
04:09God, I hope that attacker ain't moving closer.
04:12We don't know yet.
04:12It might be someone innocent.
04:14Yeah, but anyone innocent would have disappeared like that.
04:16Well, there was no one here when I came home.
04:18Depends what time you got back.
04:19About past midnight.
04:20I was all over by that time.
04:22Everybody crashed out by then.
04:23Sorry I'm a bit late.
04:24You better watch it, Loft.
04:25Den's after you.
04:25Why?
04:26What have I done?
04:26It's what you didn't do.
04:28Well, what didn't I do?
04:29You didn't walk Sharon back to my Dad's last night.
04:30No, I offered.
04:31Sharon said no.
04:32But that's not good enough, Lofty.
04:34You mustn't take no for an answer when it's nearly midnight.
04:37Yeah, Sharon might have been attacked.
04:39Was she?
04:40Nearly.
04:42Yeah.
04:42Oh, Gord.
04:44If Den hadn't stuck his head out the window, maybe Gord's all she'd have to depend on.
04:47Yeah, well, I wouldn't want anything to happen to Sharon, would I?
04:49Look, look, I won't take no for an answer again, eh?
04:52Look, we know that, Loft, don't we?
04:54But attacker or no attacker, someone was in that square last night.
04:57So from now on, I reckon it's up to us to keep our eyes skint.
05:03Where is he?
05:05Bathroom.
05:05I don't believe him reading that book.
05:07Hey, he's learning.
05:08They're nothing from books about pulling birds.
05:11No, that sort of talk don't help no one.
05:12We're doing better than what a book would.
05:14Poor kid.
05:15He ain't even got the privacy of his own room to sort out his problems.
05:17Yeah, we're all stuck with that for now.
05:19Yeah, but Ian more than anyone.
05:21I mean, there's always someone in here who don't get enough sleep.
05:23Don't bother him other times.
05:24Oh, maybe.
05:25But now he ain't got a choice, has he?
05:26I mean, sometimes I think Andrew will never go out to bed.
05:28Yeah, well, she's in a bad way, Kath.
05:30Oh, I know.
05:31I'm not saying anything about that.
05:33Of course she's in a bad way.
05:34But she's got to make allowances too.
05:36Yeah, what with all that business with Sharon last night.
05:38Well, that only made it worse.
05:40Andrew can't get to bed most nights.
05:41Yeah, I don't know what to do about those two.
05:43And they're both as bad as each other.
05:44Oh, could be.
05:45Yeah, then it's Pauline and Arthur.
05:47Yeah, Arthur.
05:48He's the straw to break my sister's back.
05:51I think you should go in hospital, you know.
05:53Oh, I'll never get a sister to agree.
05:55There's going to be a real tragedy in that house one day,
05:57if something ain't done about it.
05:58And soon.
05:58Yeah, well, I can only try.
05:59That's why I'm in the man of the stall,
06:01so if I'm throwing some sense into her.
06:03Who's foolish enough to be talking sense this morning, then, eh?
06:06Morning.
06:06Morning.
06:07Of course, it's a bit cold in you, and it can.
06:08It shouldn't be.
06:10Must be me, then, eh?
06:12How's Sharon?
06:13Still asleep.
06:14I meant last night.
06:15I've forgotten.
06:15Oh, good.
06:16Well, I haven't.
06:17It scared the life out of me.
06:19Still, we're a long way from the pub here, aren't we?
06:21And me and Sharon are very grateful to you and Pete
06:23for everything you've done for us.
06:24Oh, I see, Molly.
06:25I'll come and do you some breakfast.
06:26Oh, no, you won't,
06:27because I'm getting breakfast this morning.
06:29Oh, don't be stupid.
06:29No, today's your day off.
06:31Yeah, well, I think you two are arguing.
06:32I'm off, all right?
06:32Go on, get over your knitting machine or whatever it is you do.
06:34Life goes on, doesn't it, eh?
06:45Hi, Debbie.
06:47Hi.
06:49No, the big day has dawned.
06:50Oh, hasn't it just?
06:51I don't know how I'm going to manage.
06:52You wouldn't like to come in and advise me, would you?
06:54I don't know where to put everything.
06:55Sorry, I've got to get back to the shop.
06:57Well, listen, though,
06:58when I get myself a bit more sorted out,
06:59would you like to come round to supper?
07:00Um, well, let me think about it.
07:03I'm sorry, I've got to get back.
07:06Hi.
07:10Come on, come on.
07:13Hello, coach.
07:14There you go.
07:32What's the matter with you?
07:40Him.
07:41Oh, him.
07:42Yes, me.
07:43Get on with your work.
07:44Look, I am working.
07:47What's going on?
07:48Would you believe it?
07:49My family have taken his side.
07:51How dare they?
07:52There's money missing.
07:53There's only one person who could have taken it.
07:55You've no proof name.
07:56I know.
07:57Well, that's not enough.
07:59Don't tell me you're going to side with him as well.
08:00No, I'm not.
08:01I'm not.
08:01I'm just saying that you've...
08:02Don't.
08:02What's the matter with her?
08:10You are the matter with me.
08:12Fantasy's me, does she?
08:14Hardly.
08:15What am I going to do with him?
08:16He's not easily put down, that's for sure.
08:18Well, James is moving in.
08:20He's asked me to dinner.
08:22That's nice.
08:23Is it?
08:24Oh, what's wrong with having dinner with him?
08:25Nothing.
08:26Go on.
08:27Oh, Mamie, I can't go back to the house.
08:30See, different furniture in different places.
08:32It's still mine.
08:34And yet it's not mine.
08:36Speak of the devil and he's sure to appear.
08:38No.
08:39Don't do it.
08:40Can I help you, sir?
08:41No, I just need some coffee, sugar, milk.
08:42You!
08:43Back to marking up.
08:45Debbie, will you see to Mr. Wilmot Brown, please?
08:48I mean, I can't sit around moping, can I?
08:50Life goes on, doesn't it?
08:52That's the way to look at it.
08:53I've just got to start all over again.
08:54I mean, think about it.
08:55It means freedom for me, doesn't it?
08:57Well, there's a bright side to it, be clever.
08:58Well, it's the only way of looking at it.
09:00Any other way is bar me.
09:03I mean, I felt all hurt and betrayed at the beginning.
09:05I didn't understand what was going on.
09:07But there's nothing to understand, is there?
09:09That's life.
09:10It happens.
09:11Well, it don't make it any easier.
09:12No.
09:13All the time I thought he was working towards making it good between us,
09:16he was set out to destroy me.
09:17It's some joke, isn't it?
09:18It don't seem that way to me.
09:20Well, it's the only way I'm going to make any sense of it all, isn't it, Kath?
09:26Look, go on, Kath.
09:27You go to work.
09:28I can manage here.
09:30I know I keep putting everything back in the wrong place,
09:31but I'll learn when I...
09:33And listen, me and Sarah are really grateful to you and Pete.
09:36We'll be out of your way soon.
09:37Look, you can stay here as long as you like, Ang.
09:39If we get in the way, you'll tell me, won't you?
09:41Yeah, I will.
09:41You promise?
09:42I will.
09:42Because we can go someplace else.
09:43Oh, shut up, will you?
09:44I said we manage.
09:46Look, I'm going to have to go now.
09:47And you're going to be right on your own.
09:48Yeah, I told you.
09:48I've got everything under control.
09:50I've stopped behaving like an idiot.
09:52I've started thinking of the advantages to all this.
09:54All right, then.
09:55I'll see you later.
09:56Bye-bye, darling.
09:56Have a nice day, won't you?
09:57Bye-bye.
10:27Four pounds for Mr. King.
10:28And he phoned me and told me it bounced.
10:30I said, give it a rest.
10:31I've got three and a half grand in the bank.
10:33I said, but don't worry about it.
10:34I'll sort it out.
10:34Anyway, I phoned the bank.
10:35That's what they told me.
10:36Angie's cleared out the account.
10:38I'll just keep climbing.
10:39What are you going to do?
10:40Not a lot, according to my solicitor.
10:41Just talk to the bank manager and make other arrangements.
10:43Oh, you'll have no problem with the bank, then?
10:45That ain't the point.
10:46Why did she do it?
10:47Well, she probably thinks, right, Ben's going to get to the pub.
10:50I need something to fall back on.
10:51Or she might think you're going to get your hands on the loot,
10:54so she's shot in first.
10:57Wait, is she? She don't know that.
10:58Of course she knew it. She knows me, right?
11:00Yeah, right.
11:01So I end up with nothing.
11:02Yeah, never have I known so many people to work so hard but nothing.
11:05Yeah, well, I just have her where I stand.
11:07The old thing's got a lot more messier than I thought.
11:09Well, that's the trouble with you, old son.
11:10The only clean break you get is in your home.
11:12Yeah, well, the money's gone and Sharon's gone.
11:14I'm ready, Bob.
11:15Then?
11:15It's true, mate.
11:17I've got the definite feeling I'm lifting.
11:18Come and dog.
11:21If you live in the south of England,
11:22you're no doubt feeling a little frosty this morning.
11:25You ate your breakfast?
11:26The second day of the new year.
11:28Arthur, for God's sake.
11:34Will you listen to me?
11:36Do you want me breakfast?
11:39Oh, well, please yourself.
11:44Arthur.
11:45So if you live on the east side of England today,
11:51I suggest point your warm bits to the west and hope for the best.
11:58That's marched very slowly on a slow north wind into Scotland.
12:02Oh, I can't be doing with all this.
12:10Morning.
12:11What are you up to?
12:12Hanging around.
12:13You don't have to vacate the flat, you know, Sharon.
12:15It ain't lodgings.
12:15I don't feel I belong anywhere right now.
12:18Yeah, I know.
12:19I've just been standing in the gardens where I was last night.
12:22You look so peaceful, now armless.
12:25I just can't believe what happened anymore.
12:27I'm telling you, Kev, last night.
12:29It was like something out of Orifil.
12:31Morning, Sharon.
12:32Yeah, I'll see you.
12:33Come on.
12:34You're late?
12:35Never.
12:37Yeah.
12:38Some bloke frightened the life out of her last night.
12:40Where?
12:41Here.
12:41What, in the square?
12:42Yeah, volatile.
12:43It's not that bloke that's been attacking women, is it?
12:45Oh, I hope not.
12:46Don't want him round here.
12:47Right, you ask me if you need an escort and Pete can't do it.
12:50Oh, thank you.
12:51I'm serious.
12:52I know you are.
12:53Thanks, pal.
12:54And you can watch the stalker, I'm going to take Colin for a drink.
12:57I suppose it's a bargain.
12:58It is.
13:00Here comes the squire walking around the estate.
13:03Morning, squire.
13:04Morning, Pete.
13:04Morning.
13:07I'm just happy to see how Sharon is.
13:09Oh, she's alright, I suppose.
13:11I've been thinking a bit about what happened, you know, but then again, who wouldn't?
13:14She might be going to work for a couple of days, though.
13:16She was here a minute ago.
13:17Gosh.
13:18It's all true.
13:21Bobby V, hang on.
13:23She's a great fan of all these records.
13:25Oh, yeah.
13:25Like a rubber ball, baby.
13:27That's all.
13:27Oh, I got one and all.
13:28Look at that.
13:29And that.
13:29And that.
13:30Hang on.
13:31They are mine.
13:32And so's that.
13:33And so's that.
13:34And so's that.
13:35And so's that.
13:35Where'd you get them?
13:36Sharon.
13:37Sharon?
13:37You showed me a stack of them last night.
13:39Anything wrong?
13:42No.
13:42Um.
13:44No, no, of course not.
13:44Uh, anyway, I've got to go.
13:46See you later.
13:46Bye.
13:47See you.
13:51Colin, Barry.
13:52Listen, I'm glad you're here.
13:53Look, confidentially, you'll get the notification sometime next week.
13:57You've definitely got the Churchill contract.
13:59Have I?
13:59Absolutely.
14:01Oh, marvellous.
14:02But listen, you haven't heard anything yet.
14:03When the notification comes, jump about and surprise if you've never heard of it.
14:06I promise.
14:07Right, no bother.
14:08Listen, let's celebrate.
14:09I'll bring around a bottle of shampoos later.
14:10But for the time being, what do you want?
14:12A bottle?
14:13You can send a case around it if you like.
14:14I'll have a pint, though.
14:15Do you believe the dust are moving?
14:16Give me the spirit to face the afternoon?
14:18Moving, of course.
14:19Right, pint it is.
14:20And you won't say no, will you?
14:20Very civilised old thing.
14:22That's enough of that.
14:23Your class is showing.
14:24Sorry.
14:26Yep, cleaned him out every last pass far, then.
14:28Smart.
14:29Never was a slow mover, our hands.
14:30I met this geezer out on the phone and started screaming about a second pass.
14:33Then wouldn't have known.
14:34Good, isn't it?
14:35One minute you're loaded, next minute you've got a damn overdrive.
14:37That's it, you see.
14:37Well, you ain't funny, son.
14:39I ain't laughing, Dad.
14:40Yeah, well, you take my advice and you stay single.
14:44Oh, Mum, just in time of diving, cuppa.
14:47I see Wilmot Brown's moving in next door.
14:49Yeah, I can hear clatterings and engines and obscenities underneath me window.
14:56Oh, here, listen, Mum, have you heard about Sharon?
14:58She got threatened in the square last night.
15:00Someone prowling behind her.
15:02Did she see who it was?
15:03Not a glimmer.
15:04Scary, isn't it?
15:05Here, you don't think that horrible person's coming to this neighbourhood, do you?
15:09Oh, I don't know.
15:10I'll get the cups for you.
15:12Did you hear that, Arthur?
15:13Don't waste your breath.
15:15Sitting there like a sack.
15:17Half asleep, half dead.
15:19The house could burn about his ears and he wouldn't notice.
15:22Oh, please, Mum, he's just...
15:25Arthur?
15:27He's always wanted to rise to the level of a cabbage and he's done it at last.
15:31Oh, please, Mum, don't speak about him, Arthur.
15:33Well, he's in seventh, then, it seems to me.
15:36He's sitting there doing nothing.
15:38Everyone waiting on him.
15:39He don't have to lift a finger.
15:41Mum, he's not well.
15:43Not well?
15:43What's not well?
15:44He ain't got the shingles, has he?
15:46Not like me.
15:47It's me you've got to worry about.
15:52Did you just tell me about me inside?
15:53Yeah?
15:54He's going to the boat show.
15:55Oh, yeah.
15:55He wants us to spread the word.
15:57Why?
15:57He's going with Jan, isn't he?
15:58Yeah, well, I don't gossip.
16:00Well, never do I, though.
16:01I've been eating my surrounding boats from anybody he wants.
16:02I don't care.
16:03Never do I, though.
16:04Well, it's not good enough, sis.
16:07It can't go on like this.
16:08Wish you'd stop talking about him as though he wasn't here.
16:11Oh, dear.
16:14I don't know what you mean.
16:15It's obvious what I'm saying.
16:16He needs treatment.
16:17He's going to drag you down.
16:19I'm sorry.
16:19I don't understand what you're talking about.
16:20Look, it's obvious.
16:22No, it isn't.
16:24Hospital, for God's sake.
16:26Not hospital.
16:27He don't need hospital.
16:28What he needs is to pull himself together.
16:30I wish it was simple as that, Mum, but it's not.
16:32There's something wrong.
16:33He needs help.
16:34Pauline's time.
16:34He's not even taking those tablets I fetched for him.
16:36But if we can't get him to take them, somebody else will have to.
16:39What sort of hospital are you talking about?
16:41It's okay, Mum.
16:42Just an hospital.
16:43No, Pete.
16:44I could never forgive myself.
16:45It's the best thing for him and for you.
16:47Is it serious, then?
16:48Look, don't worry about it, Mum.
16:49We're going to take care of it.
16:50Don't treat me like a child if I'm serious.
16:53I want to know about it.
16:54Yes, yes.
16:55Okay, then.
16:55It is serious, I reckon.
16:57Not hospital, Pete.
16:58No.
16:58Well, I've been shouting at him.
17:00I've been having a go at him.
17:01Mum thought he was swinging the lead.
17:03Arthur's going to be all right.
17:05He's not going to be all right, sis.
17:06You're just fooling yourself.
17:07You've got to think of yourself, love.
17:09Well, I can cope.
17:10You've been coping too much lately.
17:12No, I feel as though I betrayed him.
17:14I'd let him down if I send him to hospital.
17:17All right, Arthur's not well, but I can't.
17:21Not send him to hospital.
17:22You know what, no hospital, Pauline.
17:25Don't send me away.
17:26Oh, crikey, I forgot about him.
17:31Don't worry, Arthur, love.
17:33Don't worry.
17:34We're not going to send you away.
17:36Promise.
17:38Arthur.
17:41Arthur.
17:43I'm sorry.
17:44I am sorry.
17:49What was all that about last night?
17:50Oh, some bloke came out of me from the dark.
17:52What?
17:52I screamed, Dad shouted, and that was it.
17:54I don't know if I was right or not.
17:55Of course you were right.
17:56I would have screamed if a shadow moved on.
17:57What?
17:58Yeah, I'm sorry about last night.
18:00What are you sorry about?
18:01What about not walking you home?
18:02I was you to know, eh?
18:03Well, I should have done.
18:04Den's already had a go at me, haven't they?
18:06Yeah, well, they needn't have bothered.
18:07Well, I'm sorry anyway.
18:08I won't let it happen again.
18:10Hey, look, um, if you'll excuse us, I haven't seen Shil for days.
18:13We're going to have a little chat, all right?
18:15Of course.
18:15All right.
18:19Look, we need to have a talk, don't we?
18:21I'm right, I'm right.
18:22I know.
18:24I'm worried, Shil.
18:26I mean, all over Christmas, you're sewing up jumpers and everything,
18:28and then you're doing the typing and going to college.
18:30When we work in pub hours, that's all there is.
18:33It's just sort of work and sleep and look after Vicky.
18:36The only time we ever see each other is when we meet in the bathroom.
18:38We're going to brush our teeth, eh?
18:40Hello, stranger.
18:42It might be such a bad thing, you know.
18:44I think it's a bad thing.
18:46We've just got to get used to each other, don't we?
18:48Well, yeah, but if we saw each other,
18:49we might be able to sort of speed the process up a bit.
18:51You know what I mean.
18:52No, I don't know what you mean.
18:54I want to be in your company, Shil.
18:56That's what being married's all about.
18:57I'm not saying it ain't.
18:58Well, what are you saying, then?
19:00I don't want to fart nothing, Lofton.
19:02No, me neither.
19:04There's nothing to fart about, is there?
19:06We've just got to get used to each other.
19:07We're used to getting married.
19:08Yeah, but we never get used to each other
19:09if we don't see each other.
19:11We just need some time.
19:13You need some time.
19:16Yeah.
19:17That's all right, then.
19:18I understand that.
19:21Thanks.
19:21I don't care what I ever get used to each other.
19:28You should be out alone at that time of night.
19:29How was I tonight?
19:31I should always have somebody with you at that time.
19:32You offering?
19:33Maybe.
19:34Yeah.
19:34Yeah, I am.
19:35What?
19:36A boyfriend?
19:36No, I just thought...
19:37Bodyguard?
19:38Well...
19:39You're not going to rescue me from the jaws of the Red-Eyed Monstering,
19:41my hero, happy ever after.
19:43Yeah, well, I'm sorry I mentioned it.
19:44I'm joking.
19:45Yeah, well, it didn't sound like it.
19:46I am.
19:47I just got a lot on me mind at the moment.
19:49All right, no more interruption, all right?
19:50Ian!
19:51What?
19:52Thanks, anyway.
19:54You don't fancy coming to the pictures tonight, do you?
19:56Don't be stupid.
20:09Sorry.
20:10Hmm?
20:10Well, I've been thinking.
20:12Sorry?
20:13Yeah, no, it's all right.
20:14I'll go and serve myself, shall I?
20:15Where's Debbie?
20:16Yeah.
20:17Yeah, I'll ask Debbie, shall I?
20:18Yeah.
20:18I'll ask Debbie.
20:20Um, Debbie?
20:22Yes, Ian?
20:23Um, well, I was thinking.
20:24Well, it's, um...
20:25Well, I was wondering.
20:26Yes?
20:27Um, would you come out with me tonight?
20:30Oh, um...
20:31Oh, I'd love to, Ian.
20:32I really would, but I can't tonight.
20:34But, um, thanks for asking.
20:35No, thanks for answering.
20:46Love-sick, are we?
20:56Hmm?
20:57Now, don't give me that.
20:58Ha.
20:58No, not exactly, no.
20:59No, no, I can tell.
21:02I've been there a good few times myself, I can tell you.
21:05Yeah, well, it's not so much love-sick, it's more like you don't seem to be able to start-sick.
21:09Oh, you don't want to let it get you down.
21:12Shouldn't have your head full of girls at your age, any rate.
21:15Or any age.
21:17It's a very overrated pastime, if you ask me.
21:20We could do with a lot less of it.
21:21The world would be a better place.
21:22Yeah, well, before you get rid of it, could you at least give me a chance to see what I'm missing?
21:26Ian, sex is all very well.
21:29And where will we be without it?
21:31The world would be empty, except for a few politicians, I grant you that.
21:35An animal kind, an human kind, has all got to breathe and hurry along the species as best they can.
21:40But that don't mean that everyone has got to participate in the painful process.
21:45I mean, for one reason or another, a person might not feel it proper, you know, to join in.
21:51I mean, a person could be, well, you know, gay, I think is the word they use now,
21:58though I've never seen anything funny in it.
22:00Well, that is one example.
22:02Yeah, well, I don't think it applies to me, that all right?
22:04No, no, of course not.
22:06I mean, it was only a for instance, then, of course, there's the religious frame of mind,
22:10and I do hope you are, because there is something wonderful about being a nun, don't you think?
22:15Yeah.
22:15Or a monk, in your case.
22:16Yeah, well, look, I've got a rush.
22:18I don't mean to be rude or nothing, but I've got a feeling my dad wants to see me.
22:20Yes, well, any time you need any advice or information, don't hesitate to drop in.
22:24Oh, don't worry, I won't go.
22:25Yes, because there's not much that can happen that hasn't happened to me.
22:28Yeah, I'll see you later, all right? Cheers.
22:29Thanks for your advice.
22:31Oh.
22:31What are you doing in bed at this hour?
22:33There's no point in getting up yet.
22:36Open a window?
22:38What do you mean?
22:40Open a window, let some air in.
22:41There's plenty of air in.
22:43Oh.
22:46Is Annie all right?
22:47Yes, why shouldn't you be?
22:49Just wondering, that's all.
22:51Hello, Annie love.
22:52What are you wondering, Pat?
22:54Come on, love, look at the state of the place you could do with a tidy up.
22:58And Annie, well, look at her.
23:00Mind your own business, all right?
23:02Okay, I'm sorry.
23:03Mary.
23:05Here.
23:05She'd been bedridden all morning.
23:06You won't have heard about Sharon.
23:08No.
23:09Well, she was in the square last night, late.
23:11About half past 11, something like that.
23:13It was dark.
23:14She was in the middle of the garden.
23:15Come on in, Mary.
23:18Bye.
23:19Good morning, Doc.
23:21Oh, I'll come straight up to tell you.
23:23Oh.
23:25Oh, you've got company.
23:26No, it's all right.
23:26Come on in, Doc.
23:27I've been looking for you.
23:28Oh, that's nice.
23:29Well, I hope it's nice.
23:30Yeah, I was wondering if you'd look after Annie for me.
23:32And then?
23:34Oh, well, I know I've asked you a few times recently, but would you?
23:36Well, it keeps me up so late, Mary.
23:38I mean, you come in at all hours.
23:41I mean, I need me beauty sleep.
23:43What, we're covering for Pauline?
23:44I've been in that laundrette all day, you know, and I'm exhausted.
23:48I mean, I'll keep on yawning.
23:49It's enough to put the customers off.
23:51Please, Doc.
23:52Well, it's all very well, Mary, but it can't be good for Annie.
23:55Oh, it is.
23:56Oh, she loves you.
23:57She loves being with you.
23:58And Ethel, and she loves Willie.
24:00Does she?
24:01Oh, well, all right then, but not too late, please.
24:05OK, I promise.
24:06In any case, it's not safe to be out late these days.
24:10No, I was telling you, Mary.
24:12What?
24:12Well, last night, Sharon...
24:14Well, last night, Sharon was in the square very late,
24:17which is why I draw your attention to the time.
24:19And she was crossing the garden,
24:20and she suddenly realised that somebody was about to pounce on her.
24:23She screamed, dennered, he opened the window of the pub,
24:26yelled out, and the monster ran.
24:27Well, who was it then?
24:28You'll think it was that geezer attacking women in Walford.
24:31So why would he come up here?
24:33Well, the answer's obvious, Mary.
24:35Innocent victims.
24:36You, me.
24:37Yes, well, anyway, we've got to be very careful after dark
24:41when we're out late.
24:42I'll be safe enough.
24:44Now, can you be sure?
24:45Because I'll have an escort, I hope.
24:46Oh, Mary, at a time like this,
24:48it's possibly dangerous to be walking the streets with strange men.
24:51And even if that were safe in itself,
24:53can this person guarantee protection against some red-eyed monster
24:56lurking in the doorways, ready to pounce?
24:58I mean, I remember Jack the Ripper all them years ago.
25:01Well, not personally, of course.
25:02You know, I've read the book.
25:03I've seen the film.
25:04You've seen the film, Mary.
25:05You know what happens in the fog.
25:07Stop!
25:07We don't get fog anymore.
25:08Well, it don't matter.
25:09There's a fog in the brain as well as a fog in the air.
25:12Oh, stay, oh, Mary.
25:13Wait till it's safe.
25:15I'm sure even she agrees with me.
25:17For once.
25:18I'm going out.
25:20I'll be all right.
25:21I'm not giving up, sis.
25:28Dr. Legg.
25:29I'm getting help, Paulie.
25:30That's all.
25:30Oh, I was just making a cup of tea.
25:32Sit down, Doctor.
25:33Hey.
25:36Sorry, uh, we can't talk in the other room.
25:39Can't shift Arthur.
25:40Can't get him to move away from the telly.
25:43I wouldn't mind him watching it,
25:44but I don't think he even knows it's on.
25:46May I?
25:47Yeah.
25:47What a day.
25:53What letters were everything?
25:56It was still raining when Pat reached the village post office.
26:02Mum was upset.
26:03I, uh, sent her to bed.
26:06Pauline, I'm not here to argue for sending Arthur to hospital.
26:09That decision has to be up to you,
26:11but I'm sure he needs a sort of help that neither you nor I can give him.
26:14He's not going to hospital.
26:16I promised him, and I wish you wouldn't interfere.
26:19I'm only trying to help, sis.
26:20I don't need any help.
26:21Look, you're my sister, and you're going to kill yourself.
26:23You carry on like this.
26:24He's like a baby in there.
26:26He's not going into hospital.
26:28I won't hear of him.
26:29Pauline, it might be best.
26:30He'd have rest, expert care from people who understand,
26:33and above all, the chance to find the best medication for him.
26:36It's an asylum.
26:38We're talking about an asylum.
26:40No, we're not, Pauline.
26:41Now, come on, don't let's get trapped into old-fashioned attitudes.
26:43No, well, you call it what you like, but I know it as an asylum.
26:46The loony bin, the nut house.
26:48Well, my Arthur's not going in there.
26:50Because I've heard people talk,
26:52and if he goes in there, he might never come out.
26:54Look, I know the system's not what it should be.
26:57They're underfunded, understaffed, and they're overworked.
27:00I know the reputation that some hospitals have had.
27:02They still have got them.
27:03But, Pauline, believe me, there are good people working in them too.
27:07Dedicated people.
27:08And I'd make sure that Arthur gets the best possible treatment.
27:12No, Doctor.
27:13Pauline, his condition has deteriorated rapidly.
27:16We all see it.
27:18You must see it yourself.
27:19Remember Christmas dices.
27:20But besides, you need relief.
27:23I mean, you work so hard.
27:24You've got your cleaning, you've got the laundrette,
27:27your mother's sick,
27:28and a young child you've got to look after.
27:31Pauline, if you're not careful, you'll make yourself ill.
27:34No, Doctor.
27:35I think it's fine.
27:42Yeah, Arthur, it's your cup of tea.
27:44Come on, lovely.
27:45It's a nice cup of tea.
27:46There you are.
27:47All right?
27:51Arthur!
27:52Peter, quick, get a cloth.
27:53Come on, Doctor.
27:54Dad, get the sheep in.
27:55Come on, help you get them.
27:56Come on.
27:57Don't drop the letters.
27:58They've already had one wedding.
28:06It's nice to see someone enjoying the rain.
28:09Next on Drama, we visit Walford and the working-class inhabitants of Albert Square as we go back in time with classic EastEnders.
28:24We'll be right back in time with them.
28:29We'll be right back in a year.
28:29Let's do this.
28:30The better people will be there.
28:30But nobody knows what's gonna do.
28:32Is that what's gonna be?
28:32Yeah.
