00:00How much should we take it?
00:30I've been doing my research, you've got to be prepared, all right?
00:32Sun cream, after sun.
00:34If there ain't no sun, sweaters, gloves, beanies, shower gel and deodorant, because you know what this one's like.
00:40And the most essential on any long road trip, toilet roll.
00:45Well, don't try and wait until we get to the campsite for any number twos, yeah?
00:48Especially you.
00:49Yeah.
00:49I don't know what you're like.
00:50All right.
00:51Oi!
00:54Our kids at Christmas, you should see Hope and Arthur.
00:58Jean?
00:59Hmm?
01:00Oh, love, you're out of your feet.
01:03I'll just shut my eyes for a few minutes.
01:07Oh, that van.
01:08No, no, no.
01:09Eve's sawing that for us.
01:11Remember?
01:12So, all you've got to do is look forward to the open road.
01:17The camper van.
01:19Our little break.
01:21Oh, it's not our little break, though, is it?
01:23If Stacey's not coming in.
01:24Have you talked to her?
01:25Yes, I've tried.
01:28Well, maybe try again.
01:30What, so she can come and ruin this like she ruins everything else?
01:32Well, we can't leave family behind, Lily.
01:34How would you like it if we all went and left Charlie behind?
01:37What, no five o'clock wake-ups and nappy changers?
01:39Bring it on.
01:40Boy, begs, everybody!
01:42Supplies incoming!
01:44You know what?
01:44There you go.
01:45All blankets you asked for.
01:48Look, Nan, all I'm saying is if she won't, she won't.
01:51No, if she won't, I won't.
01:53This is really lovely of you, Harvey.
01:55It really is.
01:56And lovely of you to have thought about it for us.
01:59And I was so excited when you told me.
02:01But, you know, if Stacey's not coming and with everything that's going on, I can't.
02:05I have to stay here.
02:07Sorry.
02:10Hey, listen up.
02:10Have I missed something?
02:11Oh, no, it's fine.
02:14It's fine.
02:16Right, Phil?
02:17I was talking to Sharon last night.
02:20Well, she was saying that Michelle's as good as she can be.
02:25She was asking about you, too.
02:27I wanted to know how you were getting on.
02:32Are you serious?
02:35There you are.
02:37You're changing schools.
02:38You've only just joined Walford High.
02:40And you've got mates there.
02:44Special mates.
02:46Wait, Joel.
02:47Sorry, I've got to go.
02:48I'm going to be late.
02:50Joel.
02:55So Joel's told Tommy.
02:58So who else is he told?
02:59We don't know if there is anyone.
03:01I think we should go and see Ravi and Priya.
03:03Well, then how's that going to help?
03:05If kids start gossiping and they hear about it from them,
03:07they can march straight off to the old bill
03:08and have him done for being underage or something.
03:11Look, she's underage as well.
03:13I just think we should get ahead of this.
03:14Not leave anything to chance.
03:16I've got the interview at the Timber Yard.
03:18Well, call him.
03:19Tell him we need to rearrange it.
03:20No, because we need the job.
03:23How else are we going to pay your sister back?
03:24Well, it's not going to be on what you bring back working for Bernie, is it?
03:26You need to get your son sorted.
03:28And I will.
03:29Later.
03:42Right.
03:43I've left it as long as I could, but you need to get to the Archers.
03:47Oh, did you get any sleep last night?
03:49That's what happened with you and that city boy.
03:53Seems to be getting on well back at the club.
03:54Yeah.
03:55Yeah, we were, actually.
03:56Sorry?
03:57So, the state that you were in,
03:59I wasn't going to let you stumble back to Billy's by yourself, was I?
04:01You'd have probably ended up in Brighton.
04:03You're a good mate.
04:04Yeah.
04:05Yes, I am.
04:06Right.
04:07Work.
04:08Work.
04:13Booze wasn't the only thing you were hitting last night, then.
04:15Yeah, OK, Mum.
04:16Oh, I'll sort it.
04:26I promise.
04:29Jimmy's been given the all-clear, so Lauren and Peter are going to bring him home.
04:33Can't we just enjoy some family time?
04:35Well, apart from the odd visiting hours,
04:37I don't suppose I'll have any family time left if your ex has got anything to do with it.
04:41And I promise you, Ian, I do not need any more bad news right now.
04:54Oh, fuck.
04:55We're talking up on supplies, are we?
04:57Oh, Karen.
04:57No, it's just that I'd Freddy knew early, you know, showing me a guidebook he'd picked up.
05:01Almost made me wish I was going myself.
05:03I said, I'm sorry.
05:04I couldn't do nothing about it.
05:05Not once Jean saw the advert.
05:08Oh, man, it don't look like it's happening now.
05:11No, she's not in a good way.
05:13It's not just mine.
05:14It's all this stuff with Stacey and Lily and it's crucifying her.
05:19Anyway, I might be a bit of a loose then later on.
05:23Oh, what?
05:24And you thought, why not cop myself a quickie?
05:26Yeah, for you.
05:27You know, Harvey, the one bright spot in all of this was that Jean and the family would come back sorted
05:31and that you could end up doing what you promised.
05:34And that would be to end things with her so that me and you didn't have to go sneaking around like this.
05:39But if this trip is off, it ain't going to be happening, is it?
05:42I can't lay any more grief on her shoulders, not why she's in this kind of state.
05:46Well, do you know what, Harvey?
05:47I can't carry on like this either.
05:49So please, will you get it sorted one way or another?
05:52Yeah.
05:57Dad, you ready?
06:08I said we'd pick Lauren, Louie and Jimmy up at ten.
06:11Yeah.
06:11Wait till they see what I've picked up for them, Dad.
06:14Look at this.
06:16Hello.
06:17He'll love it.
06:18He will, won't he?
06:19Yeah.
06:19Nice.
06:27Everything all right?
06:28Yeah, just a nuisance call.
06:31All right.
06:31Ready?
06:32Yeah, come on.
06:37All right.
06:38What's going on here?
06:39Harvey's got a little kitchen.
06:40All right.
06:40You're a miracle worker.
06:42First step, kitchen.
06:43Next step, we're there.
06:45Freddie got it all planned out.
06:48All the sights.
06:49Plenty of rest stops for the kids.
06:51Some of the beaches be fast, Stace.
06:54Knock the spots off Southend any day.
06:55My head hurts.
06:57Do you want something else?
06:59No, I might just go back upstairs.
07:01Well, just try, Stace.
07:04Yeah?
07:06You know, seeing you down here after all this time, it's such a tonic.
07:12And it do you so much good, you know, getting away.
07:16Good for everyone.
07:21Lily's really set a heart on it, so...
07:23Yeah.
07:27Yeah, she said, er...
07:29It'd be like the old days.
07:30You and her.
07:31Buckets and spades.
07:32You could help Charlie build her first sandcastle.
07:34She really said that.
07:37She reckons if you're not going, we might as well call the whole thing off.
07:40How was it?
07:53You and Harry were out last night, yeah?
07:56Yeah.
07:56What's I got to do with you?
07:59What's happening?
08:00I've got to write to me what's going on with our son too, you know, Ted.
08:03I know what you said.
08:04About not spying on him, you mean?
08:07Yeah, I do remember that.
08:08It seems like you don't, though.
08:10I just want to make sure he's OK.
08:12Well, actually, he does seem a bit better.
08:14So if you want to go patch things up, maybe now is the time.
08:16Really?
08:17Mm.
08:18Because he didn't look too chipper heading to the arches just now.
08:21In fact, he looked a right old state.
08:24Well, it's like you said yourself.
08:25I mean, he went out last night.
08:27Tired of you on, did he?
08:28Yeah.
08:28Yeah, he's got a hangover.
08:30Didn't look like a hangover to me.
08:33Is he really OK?
08:35Because you're not doing him any favours by pretending if he ain't.
08:39Look, he...
08:42He does seem better.
08:46But...
08:47You're going to need something for the midges.
09:00Who said anything about midges?
09:02Well, there's always midges when you go camping.
09:03I used to get bitten all the time as a kid.
09:05I mean, you'd probably stay now too long after the sun went down.
09:10You wouldn't do that now, though, would you?
09:11I haven't said I'm coming yet.
09:14Well, you ain't said you're not, either.
09:22Oh, Phil.
09:23What's wrong with you?
09:24Couldn't get out of that cath quick enough earlier.
09:27I know all you did was grunt at me.
09:29No, actually, no, you didn't even do that.
09:32It's the old git that you know.
09:33What I do know is you've only just come out of the mental health unit.
09:36No, that was months ago.
09:37Two months.
09:38Look, if you are slipping back again, Phil, please, please don't shut me out.
09:42I ain't.
09:43Well, Sharon's obviously worried about you, too.
09:46Yeah, well, that's Sharon for you.
09:47Oh, what, so now you're shutting her out?
09:48All arts and flowers, Sharon, isn't she?
09:50Spreading the love.
09:51What?
09:51Yeah, she's good at that.
09:52What's that mean?
09:54I've got a crossword.
09:55No!
09:56No, you can answer my question first.
10:00Shane told you, then.
10:01Like her.
10:04And soldier boy.
10:05Soldier boy?
10:07Well, Grant, what's he got to do with anything?
10:12I mean...
10:13No, no, that can't be right.
10:16No, no, that can't be right.
10:21No, no, no, no.
10:24No, no, no, no, no.
10:28Hey.
10:38Alright, Cass.
10:39It's like this might be getting sorted after all.
10:42Stacey's right on the edge of saying yes,
10:44and if she's coming, so will Jean.
10:46If they're both coming, there's no way Lily says no,
10:48so I'm just going to go and see Jean now.
10:50Just one last little nudge, yeah.
10:54Listen, I know this is hot, yeah.
10:57I meant what I said, yeah, I can't do it to her,
11:00not until everyone's back on an even kip.
11:03And the man I want to be with wouldn't do that either,
11:06because if he did, I wouldn't want to be with her.
11:17Done that, you just changed the fluids and the oil, yeah?
11:20So how much longer are you going to be there?
11:22Look, why not just come home?
11:24I'm sure we can sort things out really easily if you do.
11:27Took the words right out of my mouth.
11:29Why don't we all go for a drink, eh?
11:31I'm sure Kojo can cope on his own for a bit.
11:36Or a coffee in the caf.
11:41We'll just go and sit in the gardens for a bit.
11:44Harry, we're worried about you.
11:47Sounds like we've got just cause.
11:50What does that mean?
11:52Oh, after the heavy night you had last night.
11:56Look, erm, boys, can you just give us a minute, please?
11:59All right, anything you've got to say, you say in front of them.
12:03Not this we can't.
12:13This better be in Portland, Harvey. I shouldn't have left the bat van.
12:16Oh, Stacey wants to see you.
12:18Is everything all right?
12:22Oh, she's in the kitchen.
12:24How lovely to see you out of that bedroom.
12:41What, erm, what, Harvey sorted the van and that?
12:45I'm, er...
12:48Oh, I'm gonna come, Mum.
12:51I'll come with you.
12:52What?
12:53Oh, Lily, erm, can I have a word?
12:55That's what you want, innit?
12:57Well, if you'd come and ruin it for everyone.
12:59Right, but you said...
13:00It is what she wants. It is. Yeah, deep down.
13:04Lily, please.
13:05Don't please me. She's the one who checked out on us.
13:07Well, she's here now.
13:08Well, she just locks herself away to mope.
13:10You could hardly call it moping, Lily.
13:11Well, what do you call it, then, Nan?
13:12She lost your dad.
13:13I did, too!
13:15Didn't I?
13:17But I kept going.
13:19We all did.
13:20Oh, for God's sake!
13:21When is this gonna end?
13:24We're all struggling.
13:25Your Nan has spent almost every waking hour out on that bat van
13:28trying to keep things going.
13:30As well as taking every cleaning job she can find to keep the money coming in.
13:33And when she ain't doing that, she's trying to hold her family together
13:35and it just wants to rip itself apart.
13:38Would it really be too much to ask that just for a day or so
13:41you stop knocking seven bells out of each other?
13:44Because I tell you what, we cannot go on like this.
13:48None of us can.
13:49How?
13:50Start tomorrow.
13:51No, I'm made up.
13:52And Teddy will be too.
13:53Because he still feels bad about the job he promised me going south.
13:55Still, if Paradise Park doesn't pay off, I'm gonna make up for it.
13:56Talk I'm making up for things.
13:57Just a couple of minutes.
13:58I've told you.
13:59I've told you.
14:00It ain't a viney.
14:01We need to go on like this.
14:02I've told you.
14:03It ain't a viney.
14:04It ain't a viney we need to be speaking to, it's our folks.
14:05Just a couple of minutes, please, mate.
14:06What?
14:07What?
14:08I'll start tomorrow.
14:10No, I'm made up.
14:11And Teddy will be too.
14:13Because he still feels bad about the job he promised me going south.
14:16Still, if Paradise Park doesn't pay off, I'm gonna make up for it.
14:23Talk I'm making up for things.
14:24Just a couple of minutes.
14:25I've told you.
14:26It ain't a viney we need to be speaking to, it's our folks.
14:29Just a couple of minutes, please, mate.
14:32What?
14:37Listen.
14:38Sorry about walking in on you and Joel.
14:40But we do need to talk about it.
14:42What about?
14:43About you and Joel.
14:44What happened?
14:45There ain't no me and Joel.
14:48And you wanna talk about it?
14:49Or are you some kind of pervert?
14:59I still see him, you know?
15:25Out there on his stool.
15:30Chatting to Shrimpy and laughing with Winston.
15:40It's so weird, innit?
15:45How everything can...
15:48just be kind as it was and...
15:50everything's not as it was, though, is it?
15:57Me and you...
15:59we ain't.
16:08What Harvey said, he's right, you know.
16:11It's not fair on Nan.
16:13It's not fair on the kids, Eva.
16:16What are we gonna do?
16:17Well...
16:21I mean, the bags are still packed.
16:26I'm up for it.
16:33Okay.
16:36In that case, me too.
16:38Hope!
16:39Oh, fuck!
16:40Get yourselves down here!
16:41And wake up Charlie too.
16:42Woo!
16:43The broads, here we come!
16:44Oh, no, you ain't.
16:45You have to phone in the kitchen.
16:47You've got a voice message from, um...
16:48from the holiday company.
16:49What does it say?
16:50Donut here was supposed to pick up the camper van two hours ago.
16:53Well, a few things to sort, but...
16:55I've done that.
16:56Okay, well, they put you down as a no-show.
16:57What's that mean?
16:58It means you've lost your slot.
16:59Say they're gonna give you a camper van to someone else, Harvey!
17:02No, no, no, no, no.
17:03No, no, no.
17:04No, no, no, no, no.
17:05No, no, no, no.
17:10Was that you?
17:11What?
17:12Someone told him about that wrap.
17:14I thought we were mates.
17:15I thought we were mates.
17:22Have you got another one?
17:24Yes, Ian.
17:26Ian, that's not bad.
17:28You said you were doing your hair.
17:30Right, squeeze up a little bit.
17:32Right, that's it.
17:34Look at me, look at me.
17:36Lovely.
17:38That's it, nice and close.
17:40Hang on.
17:41There you go.
17:43That feels right, doesn't it?
17:46What, Louie next to me?
17:48No, just us, about Mum.
17:50She, er, she said something.
17:53That's it, squeeze in.
17:54Louie's on one.
17:55I'm not interested in anything she's got to say.
17:57Felt weird at first.
17:59I haven't been a part of this, but...
18:01Well, I'll tell you what, Lou, you hold the bear now.
18:03Oh, here you go, darling.
18:04Yeah, go on.
18:05Here you go.
18:06That's it, drop it down a bit, yeah?
18:07And how about now?
18:09No, it still does feel weird, but just everything she touches,
18:12she ruins, don't you?
18:14Last thing I want is her turning this bad, too.
18:16Oh, Harvey, do us a favour.
18:18Could you, er, take some pics, please?
18:20I want a penis.
18:21Oh, cheers, bud.
18:23Here we go.
18:24Everybody smiling?
18:25There you go.
18:26All right, ready?
18:27New beginnings.
18:28There you go.
18:29And can you do some, erm, long ways?
18:31What do they call it?
18:32Portrait.
18:33Yeah, thanks.
18:34Oh, yeah, that's better.
18:35All right, got you all in.
18:37Smile.
18:38Oh, you look lovely.
18:39Yeah.
18:41Brilliant.
18:42Nice, er, there you go.
18:43Yeah, all right.
18:44Congratulations.
18:46All right.
18:48See ya.
18:49All right, Abby?
18:50Terrible.
18:51Good.
18:52He should.
18:53Harvey's been running around like a maniac trying to sort this for us.
18:57Okay, Freddie.
18:58When he finally manages it, we can't even go.
19:01He has been rather wonderful, hasn't he?
19:05Yeah, well, to be honest, I don't see much thanks coming his way, but, you know.
19:10I just wish, you know.
19:12What?
19:13You know, maybe when I'm old.
19:15Aye, aye, aye, aye, you.
19:16Lesser the old, yeah?
19:17Older.
19:18Okay.
19:19I just hope that I can find someone that loves me like he loves you.
19:23Oh, lovely.
19:26Come on.
19:28What?
19:29I'm going to need all your help.
19:31Yeah?
19:32Where are we going?
19:33All right.
19:34All right.
19:43Varley.
19:46Varley?
19:47Look, I already told you I don't want to talk about this with you.
19:50I don't even want to think about it.
19:52So this is just between us, right?
19:54I thought it was between me and Job.
19:57You don't involve no-one else, like your parents.
20:02I ain't involving no-one else in this, and that includes you.
20:06I thought this was as good as sorted.
20:18It was.
20:19Gene was on board, Lily, Stacy.
20:21Well, it is baby steps, I know, but at least they're talking now.
20:25So?
20:26Well, there was a problem with the holiday company, because everything took so long we lost the van.
20:31So what's the bet?
20:32And in ten minutes' time, everything will have fallen apart again.
20:35That's Jane.
20:36She needs me back.
20:39Make that five.
20:40Go!
20:41He's coming!
20:42Go!
20:43Go!
20:44Go!
20:45Go!
20:46Come on!
20:47Come on!
20:48Come on!
20:53I saw this.
20:54And what's it look like?
20:55Well, it looks like Christmas, but it's the middle of May.
20:57Yeah, the light in the way.
20:58To what?
20:59I'm coming, I'll show you.
21:01Come!
21:02They're coming!
21:03They're coming!
21:04They're coming!
21:05They're coming!
21:10Hey!
21:12I know we can't actually go camping, but it doesn't stop us camping out.
21:17Yeah, in the warm.
21:18Oh, and out of the rain.
21:19And if it does rain, then we can just go inside.
21:21We haven't got to dodge no midges, neither.
21:23Yeah, Nan's idea.
21:24She's up with everything.
21:25And she's done the lights as well.
21:26Oh, and sleeping bags.
21:28It's the least I could do after everything that you've done for us.
21:31And, Lily, what are you wish for?
21:34I hope so, too.
21:35Oh, Nan.
21:36I hope that one day Lily finds someone who loves her as much as I love you.
21:42And there's something else.
21:43No, just give me a minute, yeah?
21:44Probably.
21:45No, because I've left someone in the cab, and I'll just get someone to cover.
21:56Harry, listen, about...
21:58I'm sorry.
21:59Okay.
22:00I was well out of order.
22:02And I know you wouldn't have said nothing.
22:04In the state I was in, a hundred people could have seen me.
22:07It's just...
22:08They came to the Arches and wanted to talk.
22:11Can you believe that?
22:13Well, he is your dad.
22:14She's your mum.
22:15I mean, they were bound to try at some point, no?
22:17I know.
22:18And I told myself, when they do, just stay calm.
22:22Be chill.
22:23Harry?
22:24And I promised it was just a sort of job on a motor, but there was this wrench.
22:30I kept looking at it.
22:33And for a minute, I was this close to just...
22:38Lushing out with it.
22:41But you didn't.
22:44No.
22:45Then I lashed out at you.
22:48Not like that.
22:50In any way.
22:51That's what makes it more.
22:54Just get a drink, yeah?
22:55So I can say sorry properly.
22:58Right.
23:10Kath.
23:16It ain't just you.
23:17I...
23:18I can't do this no more, neither.
23:20I...
23:21I've got Lily treating me like I'm some kind of saint.
23:23I've got Jean thinking I'd walk on water and...
23:25The look on your face when you found out about this camping trip.
23:28I...
23:29I'm lying to everyone.
23:30And I'm going to end up hurting people I care about.
23:35So...
23:36What are you saying?
23:38It's not fair.
23:40Not on them.
23:41Not on you.
23:42And...
23:43I don't want to do this no more.
23:46I see.
23:47I can't.
23:48I can't.
23:50Well...
23:51Yeah, it was...
23:52Good why it lasted, wasn't it?
23:54Good.
23:57Yeah, I feel the best thing that's ever happened to me.
24:00There's no way I'm letting you go.
24:01I'm going to go back in there.
24:03And...
24:04And I'm going to do what I should have done from the start of all this.
24:06What I said I'd do.
24:07I'm going to tell Jean the truth about you and me right now.
24:10And then you and me...
24:12We're going to be together.
24:14For good.
24:32What's that going on there then, is there?
24:34You and Harry?
24:36No.
24:37Alright, don't bite me head off.
24:39It looked a bit intense earlier on any minute, Mark.
24:41You two holding hands.
24:42Yeah, well...
24:43That...
24:44Weren't what it looked like.
24:45I'm just...
24:46I'm worried.
24:47Because?
24:48Because he's getting into stuff.
24:50Stuff he shouldn't be.
24:52What?
24:53Especially the state he's in right now.
24:55Well, I never had you down as a babysitter.
24:57Yeah, it ain't that either.
25:00Only thing is I, um...
25:02I did tell...
25:03Teddy and Nicola.
25:06No, don't.
25:07It just come out.
25:08I was worried about him.
25:10Don't say it.
25:11I know it's really bad.
25:13Well, usually I'd say yes, but...
25:14I can't really be an hypocrite on this one.
25:16What do you mean?
25:18If we're having it all out in the open...
25:20Yeah.
25:21...then I'm only really talking to you now because your dad's asked me to.
25:24Right?
25:25He's worried about you, he's asked me to check on you and report bad to him.
25:28Yeah, okay.
25:29How'd you feel?
25:30Yes.
25:31Yeah, so imagine how Harry would feel if he finds out.
25:32Okay, okay.
25:33Point taken.
25:34Harvey!
25:35Just a minute, mate.
25:36No, Freddie, mate.
25:37I've got to speak to Jane now.
25:38No, Lil's upstairs looking after Charlie and Alfie's called Cat.
25:39She ain't answered yet, so no, it's just me and him.
25:40You know, mate, I'm sorry, but this ain't gonna wait.
25:41Okay.
25:42Come on.
25:43You all right?
25:44You all right?
25:45Oh, Jane, Jane, Jane, Jane, Jane.
25:46Oh, well, you can't go camping without a barbie.
25:47That's very nice, but, um...
25:48I'm a lucky girl, Harvey.
25:49I'm a lucky girl, Harvey.
25:50I'm a lucky girl, Harvey.
25:51I'm a lucky girl, Harvey.
25:52I'm a lucky girl, Harvey.
25:53I'm a lucky girl, Harvey.
25:54I don't tell you often enough, and I know I give you a hard time sometimes, but honestly,
26:15there isn't a single day goes by when I don't look at you and thank my lucky stars.
26:20That's lovely, Jane, it really is, but...
26:25But that's just words, isn't it?
26:26Do you think we could go somewhere in private?
26:28I want to do something.
26:29Just for a minute or so.
