00:00How much should we take it?
00:14I've been doing my research. You've got to be prepared, alright?
00:17Sun cream, after sun. If there ain't no sun, sweaters, gloves, beanies, shower gel and deodorant,
00:23because you know what this one's like.
00:25And the most essential on any long road trip, toilet roll.
00:29Well, don't try and wait until we get to the campsite for any number twos, yeah? Especially you.
00:33Yeah.
00:34I don't know what you're like.
00:35Alright. Oi!
00:38Our kids at Christmas, you should see open Arthur.
00:43Jean?
00:44Hmm?
00:45Oh, love, you're out of your feet.
00:48I'll just shut my eyes for a few minutes.
00:51Oh, that van.
00:53No, no, no. Eve's sorting out for us. Remember?
00:56So, all you've got to do is look forward to the open road.
01:02The camper van.
01:04Our little break.
01:05Oh, it's not our little break though, is it, if Stacey's not coming in.
01:09What, have you talked to her?
01:10Yes, I've tried.
01:12Well, maybe try again.
01:14What, so she can come and ruin this like she ruins everything else?
01:17Well, we can't leave family behind, Lily.
01:19How would you like it if we all went and left Charlie behind?
01:22What, no five o'clock wake-ups and nappy changes? Bring it on.
01:25Fire beds, everybody!
01:26Surprise incoming!
01:28You know what?
01:29There you go.
01:30All blankets you asked for.
01:32Look, Nan.
01:33All I'm saying is, if she won't, she won't.
01:35No, if she won't, I won't.
01:38This is really lovely of you, Harvey.
01:40It really is.
01:41And lovely of you to have thought about it for us.
01:43And I was so excited when you told me.
01:45But, you know, if Stacey's not coming,
01:47and with everything that's going on, I can't.
01:49I have to stay here.
01:51Sorry.
01:54Well, you can sit up the morning.
01:55There's something.
01:56Oh, no, it's fine.
01:58It's fine.
02:00Right, Phil.
02:02I was talking to Sharon last night.
02:04Well, she was saying that Michelle's as good as she can be.
02:09She was asking about you, too.
02:12I wanted to know how you were getting on.
02:17Are you serious?
02:20They are.
02:22You're changing schools.
02:23You've only just joined Walford High, and you've got mates there.
02:28Special mates.
02:31Wait, Joel.
02:32Sorry, I've got to go.
02:33I'm going to be late.
02:35Joel!
02:36So Joel's told Tommy.
02:41So who else is he told?
02:43We don't know if there is anyone.
02:45I think we should go and see Ravi and Priya.
02:47Well, then how's that going to help?
02:49If kids start gossiping, and they hear about it from them, they can march straight off to the old bill and have him done for being underage or something.
02:55Look, she's underage as well.
02:57I just think we should get ahead of this.
02:59Not leave anything to chance.
03:01I've got the interview at the timber yard.
03:03Well, call him.
03:04Tell him we need to rearrange it.
03:05No, because we need the job.
03:07How else are we going to pay your sister back?
03:09Well, it's not going to be on what you bring back working for Bernie, is it?
03:11You need to get your son sorted.
03:13And I will.
03:14Later.
03:27Right.
03:28I've left it as long as I could, but you need to get to the Archers.
03:33Did you get any sleep last night?
03:35It's what happened with you and that city boy.
03:37Seems to be getting on well back at the club.
03:39Yeah.
03:40Yeah, we were, actually.
03:41Sorry?
03:42So?
03:43The state that you were in, I wasn't going to let you stumble back to Billy's by yourself, was I?
03:46You'd have probably ended up in Brighton.
03:48You're a good mate.
03:49Yeah.
03:50Yes, I am.
03:51Right.
03:52Work.
03:58Booze wasn't the only thing you were hitting last night, is it?
04:00Yeah, OK, Mum.
04:08Oh!
04:09I'll sort it.
04:10I promise.
04:13Jimmy's been given the all clear, so Lauren and Peter are going to bring him home.
04:17Can't we just enjoy some family time?
04:19Well, apart from the odd visiting hours, I don't suppose I'll have any family time left if your ex has got anything to do with it.
04:25And I promise you, Ian, I do not need any more bad news right now.
04:32Oh, fuck.
04:33We're not going up on supplies, are we?
04:34Oh, OK.
04:35No, she said I'd Freddy knew earlier, you know, showing me a guidebook he'd picked up.
04:37Almost made me wish I was going myself.
04:38I said I'm sorry.
04:39I couldn't do nothing about it.
04:40Not once Jean saw the advert.
04:41Anyway, it don't look like it's happening now.
04:42Nah, she's not in a good way.
04:43It's not just mine.
04:44It's all this stuff with Stacey and Lily and it's crucifying her.
04:47Anyway, I might be a bit of a loose then later on.
04:48Oh, what?
04:49And you thought why not cock meself a quickie?
04:50Nothing.
04:51Yeah, I think I thought, you know, I think it's something like I was going myself.
04:52I said I'm sorry.
04:53I couldn't do nothing about it.
04:54Not once Jean saw the advert.
04:55Anyway, yeah, it don't look like it's happening now.
04:56Nah, she's not in a good way.
04:57It's not just mine.
04:58It's all this stuff with Stacey and Lily and it's crucifying her.
05:02Anyway, I might be a bit of a loose then later on.
05:06Oh, what?
05:07And you thought, why not cock meself a quickie?
05:09That thing.
05:10Oh, you know, Harvey, the one bright spot in all of this was that Jean and the family would
05:15come back sorted and that you could end up doing what you promised and that would
05:19be to end things with her so that me and you didn't have to go sneaking around
05:22like this but if this trip is off ain't gonna be happening is it I can't lay any
05:27more grief on her shoulders not why she's in this kind of state what do you

09:37I've got a crossword

09:54no no that can't be right
10:01Hey
10:22alright Kes
10:24looks like this might be getting sorted after all
10:26Stacy's right on the edge of saying yes
10:29And if she's coming, so will Jean.
10:31If they're both coming, there's no way Lily says no.
10:33So I'm just going to go and see Jean now.
10:35Just one last little nudge, yeah.
10:39Listen, I know this is hard.
10:42I remember what I said, yeah, I can't do it to her.
10:45Not until everyone's back on an even keel.
10:48And the man I want to be with wouldn't do that either.
10:51Because if he did, I wouldn't want to be with him.
10:59You've done that, you've just changed the fluids and the oil, yeah?
11:04So how much longer are you going to be there?
11:07Look, why not just come home?
11:09I'm sure we can sort things out really easily if you do.
11:12Took the words right out of my mouth.
11:14Why don't we all go for a drink, eh?
11:16Sure Koto can cope on his own for a bit.
11:22Or a coffee in the caf.
11:26We'll just go and sit in the gardens for a bit.
11:29Harry, we're worried about you.
11:32Sounds like we've got just calls.
11:35What does that mean?
11:37Oh, after the heavy night you had last night.
11:41Look, um, boys, can you just give us a minute, please?
11:44All right, anything you've got to say, you say in front of them?
11:48Not this we can't.
11:49This better be important, Harvey.
12:00I shouldn't have left the back van.
12:02Well, Stacey wants to see you.
12:04Is everything all right?
12:07She's in the kitchen.
12:08How lovely to see you out of that bedroom.
12:25What, um, what?
12:28Harvey sorted the van and that.
12:32I'm, uh...
12:33Oh, I'm going to come, Mum.
12:36I can't move you.
12:37What?
12:38Oh, Lily, um, can I have a word?
12:40That's what you want, isn't it?
12:42Well, if you'd come and ruin it for everyone.
12:44Right, but you said...
12:45It is what she wants.
12:46It is.
12:47Yeah, deep down.
12:49Lily, please.
12:50No, please me.
12:51She's the one who checked out on us.
12:52Well, she's here now.
12:53Well, she just locks herself away to mope.
12:54You could hardly call it moping.
12:56Well, what do you call it, then, Nan?
12:57She lost your dad.
12:58I did, too.
13:00Didn't I?
13:02But I kept going.
13:03We all did.
13:04Oh, for God's sake.
13:06When is this going to end?
13:08We're all struggling.
13:10Your Nan has spent almost every waking hour out on that back van trying to keep things going.
13:14As well as taking every cleaning job she can find to keep the money coming in.
13:18And when she ain't doing that, she's trying to hold her family together and it just wants to rip itself apart.
13:22Would it really be too much to ask that just for a day or so you stop knocking seven bells out of each other?
13:29Because I tell you what, we cannot go on like this.
13:33None of us can.
13:34Well?
13:52It's not tomorrow.
13:53Oh, I'm made up.
13:56And Teddy will be too.
13:58Cos he still feels bad about the job he promised me going south.
14:01Still, if Paradise Park doesn't pay off,
14:04I'm going to make up for it.
14:08Talk I'm making up for things.
14:09Just a couple of minutes.
14:10I've told you.
14:11It ain't Avani we need to be speaking to.
14:13It's our phones.
14:14Just a couple of minutes, please, mate.
14:17What?
14:17Listen, I'm sorry about walking in on you and Joel.
14:25But we do need to talk about it.
14:26What about?
14:28About you and Joel.
14:29What happened?
14:30There ain't no me and Joel.
14:32And you want to talk about it?
14:34Or are you some kind of pervert?
14:36Actually.
14:47I still see him, you know.
15:10That hair on his stool.
15:17Chatting to Shrimpy and laughing with Winston.
15:25It's so weird, isn't it?
15:30How everything can...
15:31just be kind as it was.
15:38Everything's not as it was, though, is it?
15:41Me and you.
15:43We ain't.
15:47What Harvey said, he's right, you know.
15:56It's not fair on none.
15:58It's not fair on the kids, either.
16:01What are we going to do?
16:04Well...
16:05I mean, the bags are still packed.
16:08I'm up for it.
16:18Okay.
16:21In that case, me too.
16:23Hope!
16:24Arthur!
16:25Get yourselves down here!
16:26And wake up Charlie, too.
16:27Woo!
16:28The broads, here we come!
16:29Oh, no, you ain't.
16:31You have to phone in the kitchen.
16:32You've got a voice message from, um, from the holiday company.
16:34What does it say?
16:36Donut.
16:36It was supposed to pick up the camper van two hours ago.
16:38Well, a few things to sort, but I've done that.
16:40Okay, well, they put you down as a no-show.
16:42What's that mean?
16:42It means you've lost your slot.
16:44Say they're going to give you a camper van to someone else, Harvey!
16:46Was that you?
16:57What?
16:58Someone told him about that rat.
17:01I thought we were mates.
17:07Have you got another one?
17:08Have you been wearing it?
17:09Yes, Ian.
17:10Ian, it's too bad.
17:12You said you were doing your hair.
17:14Right, squeeze up a little bit.
17:15Can you control your dad?
17:16Thanks, Ian.
17:17Right, that's it.
17:18Oh, it's right.
17:18No, look at me.
17:19Look at me.
17:19That's it.
17:20Lovely.
17:21Blue, right next to your brother.
17:23Go on, that's it.
17:23Nice and close.
17:24Nice and close.
17:24Hang on.
17:25Right, let me go.
17:26Oh, it's your granddad.
17:27There you go.
17:30Oh, it feels right, doesn't it?
17:31What?
17:32Louie next to me?
17:33No, just us.
17:34Without mum.
17:36She, er...
17:37She said something.
17:39That's it.
17:39Squeeze in.
17:39Louie's on one.
17:40I'm not interested in anything she's got to say.
17:43Felt weird at first.
17:44I haven't been a part of this, but...
17:45Right, I'll tell you what.
17:46And, um, Louie, you hold the bear now.
17:48Oh, here you go, darling.
17:48Yeah, go on.
17:49Here you go.
17:50That's it.
17:50Drop it down a bit.
17:51Mm-hmm.
17:51Yeah?
17:52And how about now?
17:54No, it still does feel weird, but...
17:56Just...
17:57Everything she touches, she ruins, don't you?
17:58Last thing I want is her turning this bad, too.
18:02Oh, well, if you do us a favour, could you, er, take some pics, please?
18:05I want to be in there.
18:06There you go.
18:06Oh, cheers, man.
18:08Here we go.
18:09Everybody smiling?
18:10There you go.
18:11All right, ready?
18:12New beginnings.
18:13There you go.
18:14And can you do some, um, long ways?
18:16What do I call it?
18:17A portrait.
18:17Yeah, thanks.
18:18Oh, yeah, that's better.
18:20All right, got you all in.
18:21Smile.
18:22All right, you look lovely.
18:24Yeah.
18:25Brilliant.
18:26That's, er, there you go.
18:27Yeah, all right.
18:28Congratulations.
18:30All right.
18:31See ya.
18:34All right, happy?
18:34Terrible.
18:35God.
18:37You should.
18:38Harvey's been running around like a maniac trying to sort this for us.
18:42Okay, Freddie.
18:43He finally manages it.
18:44We can't even go.
18:47He has been rather wonderful, hasn't he?
18:50Yeah, well, to be honest, I don't see much thanks coming his way, but...
18:53I just wish, you know...
18:57What?
18:58You know, maybe when I'm old.
19:00Aye, aye, aye, you.
19:01Less to the old, yeah?
19:02Older.
19:02Okay.
19:04I just hope that I can find someone that loves me like he loves you.
19:08Oh, lovely.
19:12Come on.
19:13What?
19:14I need all your help.
19:16Yeah.
19:16Where are we going?
19:19Right.
19:23I need all your help.
19:28Ravali?
19:31Ravali?
19:31Look, I already told you I don't want to talk about this with you.
19:35I don't even want to think about it.
19:36So this is just between us, right?
19:40I thought it was between me and Job.
19:43You don't involve no one else.
19:45Like your parents.
19:47I ain't involving no-one else in this, and that includes you.
20:00I thought this was as good as sorted.
20:03It was. Gene was on board, Lily, Stacey.
20:07Well, it is baby steps, I know, but at least they're talking now.
20:09So?
20:11There was a problem with the holiday company,
20:13because everything took so long, we lost the van.
20:16So what's the bet, and in ten minutes' time, everything will have fallen apart again.
20:20That's Jane. She needs to be back.
20:24Make that five.
20:27Oh, he's coming.
20:28Come on, come on.
20:30Oh, just...
20:31Come on.
20:37I saw this.
20:38What's it look like?
20:40Well, it looks like Christmas, but it's the middle of May.
20:42The light in the way.
20:43To what?
20:44I'm coming, I'll show you.
20:45Come!
20:46I know we can't actually go camping, but it doesn't stop us camping out.
21:02Yeah, in the warm.
21:03Oh, and out of the rain.
21:04And if it does rain, then we can just go inside.
21:06We ain't gonna dodge no midges, neither.
21:08Yeah, Nan's idea. She's up with everything.
21:10And she done the lights as well.
21:11Oh, and, er, we've got sleeping bags.
21:13It's the least I could do after everything that you've done for us.
21:17And, Lily, what do you wish for?
21:19I hope so, too.
21:20Oh, Nan.
21:21I hope that one day, Lily finds someone who loves her...
21:25...as much as I love you.
21:28And there's something else.
21:29Just give me a minute.
21:30Probably.
21:30No, because I've left someone in the cab, and I'll just get someone to cover.
21:33Harry, listen, about...
21:43I'm sorry.
21:44Okay?
21:45I was well out of order.
21:47And I know you wouldn't have said nothing.
21:49In the state I was in, a hundred people could have seen me.
21:51It's just...
21:53They came to the Arches and wanted to talk.
21:56Can you believe that?
21:58Well, he is your dad.
21:59She's your mum.
22:00I mean, they were bound to try at some point, no?
22:02I know.
22:03I told myself, when they do, just stay calm.
22:07Be chill.
22:09Harry?
22:10And I promised it was just the sort of job on a motor, but...
22:13There was this wrench.
22:15I kept looking at it.
22:16And for a minute, I was this close to just...
22:23Lashing out with it.
22:26But you didn't.
22:29No.
22:30Then I lashed out at you.
22:33Not like that.
22:35In any way, that's what makes it more.
22:39Just get a drink, yeah?
22:41So I can say sorry properly.
22:43Right.
22:46I can't do this no more, neither.
23:05I've got Lily treating me like I'm some kind of saint.
23:07I've got Jean thinking I'd walk on water and...
23:10The look on your face when you found out about this camping trip.
23:13I'm lying to everyone.
23:15And I'm going to end up hurting people I care about.
23:19So, what are you saying?
23:23It's not fair.
23:24Not on them, not on you.
23:26And...
23:27I don't want to do this no more.
23:31I see.
23:32I can't.
23:35Well, you know, it's good why it lasted, wasn't it?
23:38Good.
23:42I feel the best thing that's ever happened to me.
23:45There's no way I'm letting you go.
23:46I'm going to go back in there
23:47and I'm going to do what I should have done from the start of all this.
23:51What I said I'd do.
23:52I'm going to tell Jean the truth about you and me right now.
23:55And then you and me,
23:56we're going to be together.
23:59For good.
23:59What's that going on there, then, is there?
24:19You and Harry?
24:21No.
24:22All right.
24:22Don't bite me head off.
24:24It looked a bit intense earlier on.
24:25Any minute, Mark?
24:26You two holding hands?
24:27Yeah, well, that won't what it looked like.
24:30I'm just...
24:31I'm worried.
24:32Because?
24:33Because he's getting into stuff.
24:35Stuff he shouldn't be.
24:37Oh.
24:38Especially the state he's in right now.
24:40Well, I never had you down as a babysitter.
24:41Yeah, it ain't that either.
24:45Only thing is, I did tell Teddy and Nicola.
24:49No, don't.
24:51It'd just come out.
24:52I was worried about him.
24:55Don't tell you, I know.
24:55It's really bad.
24:58Well, usually I'd say yes,
24:59but I can't really be an hypocrite on this one.
25:01What do you mean?
25:03If we're having it all out in the open...
25:05Yeah.
25:06Then I'm only really talking to you now
25:07because your dad's asked me to.
25:09Right, he's worried about your heart.
25:11He's asked me to check on your heart
25:12and report bad to him.
25:14Yeah, OK.
25:17How'd you feel?
25:18Yes.
25:19Yeah, so imagine how Harry would feel
25:20if he finds out.
25:21OK, OK.
25:22Point taken.
25:31Harvey!
25:32Just a minute, mate.
25:32No, Freddie, mate.
25:33I've got to speak to Jane now.
25:34Oh, no, Lil's upstairs looking after Charlie
25:36and Alfie's called Cat.
25:37She ain't answered yet, so no,
25:38it's just me and him.
25:38You know, mate, I'm sorry,
25:39but this ain't gonna wait.
25:40OK.
25:41Come on.
25:43You all right?
25:45You all right?
25:45Oh, Jane, Jane, Jane, Jane.
25:46Oh!
25:47Well, you can't go camping without a Barbie.
25:51That's very nice, but, um...
25:53I'm a lucky girl, Harvey.
25:54I'm lucky to have you,
25:56and I don't tell you often enough,
25:57and I know I give you a hard time sometimes,
25:59but honestly,
26:00there isn't a single day goes by
26:02when I don't look at you
26:03and thank my lucky stars.
26:05Yay!
26:06That's lovely, Jane, it really is, but...
26:09But that's just words, isn't it?
26:11Do you think we could go around somewhere in private?
26:12I want to do something.
26:13Just for a minute or so.
26:15Harvey Monroe.
26:19Will you marry me?
26:20No one of them could be like this.
26:26I'm not a problem with me.
26:31I'm gonna be like this.
26:32Yeah.
26:32No one of them could be like this.
26:37Yeah.
26:37No one of them could be like this.
26:39No one of them could be like this.
