LAUGHS

It's very nice, Albert.

Oh, it is, Mr Bellamy, it is,

but it needs a bit of life brought to it.

Er, getting married on Saturday, so I hear.

- Yeah. - That's right. We are.

Aye, aye. That's the bedroom. Go take a look.

Not that I ever use it. No.

I like to stay near fire, me.

- I'll, er... - Ah! Oh, yeah.

I, er, I'd like a young couple to have it.

You know, nice and local, living in area.

Such as yourselves. Yeah, that would be my ideal. Yeah.

I'll leave you two to have a little think.

Take your time. Yes, I...

I'm sorry. It's just that there are so few houses coming on the market

and, well, this was within our budget.

I know it's in a terrible state and it's miles away from the village...

Look at this stone floor, Phil.

BELLAMY: Yeah.

I suppose we've just got to find a polite way of telling him that...

What?

- I love it. -You do?

- Yeah. - Well, so do I!

It's just that I didn't dare hope you'd feel the same.

Why don't we make him an offer?

What, now? Without going away and thinking about it?

Dare we?

I don't know. I've never bought a house before.

BOTH LAUGH

Cheers.

I'll see you later.

Meet the decorating committee, Your Lordship.

Sandra, Paula and Carol.

When do you wanna make a start? In the morning?

- If that's all right. - The earlier the better.

If we're going to do this, let's do it properly.

I'll get my chaps in to lend a hand.

It's really nice of you to let us use the hall.

I know. Can't think what got into me.

ALL LAUGH

- So, has it actually arrived yet? - It's in the garage.

What about when you get to the church?

- If you're reading the lesson... - It's all organised.

- One of the lads... - Shh! Here they come.

Guess what, everyone. We've just bought a house!

ALL GASP

OVERLAPPING CHATTER

- DAVID: They want an owl, do they? - Of course.

Stuffed birds are de rigueur these days.

All the best places have them,

like Ashfordly Hall, where no doubt I shall be tomorrow,

doing the decorating. I'm only waiting for the summons.

Unless they want me to do the church, of course.

So...

So, what have you got for 'em?

Oh. Give us a sec.

Pop.

LAUGHS

I thought that was just right for Gina and Mr Bellamy.

- It's all bright and cheery and... - Yes.

Except... David, I've got a better idea.

I mean, you can give them that if you like,

but something much nicer would be if...

Now don't say no out of hand. You give it some thought.

What?

- Sing. - What?

Sing at the wedding. I've had a word with the vicar and he's all for it.

Wh... Si... In front of all those people?

- Yes. - No.

Yes, David, you've got a lovely voice.

And I've arranged for you to have some practice

and the vicar's chosen the hymn.

No.

No!

No!

Y... No... Don't be angry, Linda, love.

It's just that I've given this young couple my word.

Well... Well, yes, I know you wanted to keep it for weekends.

Yes, and I know I said I'd come and live with you.

I know that, too.

Look, why can't I just sell it

and buy a little place of my own in village?

And then I wouldn't have to come and...

Oh.

All right.

If that's what you think. All right.

You must do what you think is best.

I'll, erm...

I'll ring again in a few days.

She's not going to change her mind, Toby.

You and me have got to go and live with her.

That's it, then. If that's what she wants.

That's it.

Go home, Toby. It's too cold for an old dog like you.

CRIES

I'll put these on the back seat, don't you think?

Yeah, that'll be great.

Right, where do you want me? At the hall or in the church?

We're OK, thanks.

What do you mean, you're OK?

- Peg, we're fine. - No, I don't think you understand.

I do the decor for all the weddings around here.

Not this one, love.

Bride's family and friends are taking care of everything.

But thanks very much for the offer.

Another one, eh, Geoff?

Oh, he's out, is he? Any idea how long he'll be?

VENTRESS: Oh, right.

Every bally plumber in the town is busy. I don't know.

PHONE RINGS

Ashfordly police station.

Who? Oh.

Phil. It's your house agent.

Ah!

Morning, Mr Brookes. How are...

PEGGY: Gina's always had me down for the decorations. Always.

Always.

"Peggy," she says to me,

"After your triumph at the village hall for poor Helen's wedding,

you are the only person in..."

Oh, Aunt Peggy, will you just stop it?

SCREAMS

PANTING

Aunt Peggy?

Of course Gina's upset.

Any woman would be, losing her house.

She wasn't upset, Alf.

PHONE RINGS She was devastated.

BELLAMY: So am I.

VENTRESS: Ashfordly police station.

Where?

Just saying, I really thought

that things might go our way this time.

No.

- Rob. Rob? - Yeah?

Rob, there's been an accident outside Aidensfield,

on the Elsinby road. - ROB: OK, I'm going.

Still, what does it matter?

There are people starving all over the world.

Look, you're getting married tomorrow. That's the main thing.

- If it happens. - What?

Well, I've been here before. Twice, in fact, with Gina.

And each time she's pulled out.

OK, but she won't this time, will she?

You can't say that, can you? Not for sure.

I mean, I might not be right for her.

Somebody like...

Somebody like, I don't know, Jack Hollins, for example.

Maybe he would suit her better.

Dear, oh dear.

That's over and done with. Forget about it.

Good thing you've only got one more day to go,

otherwise you might be a nervous wreck,

- and a big pain in the... - Hey! I can't help it!

I can't.

What happened?

Well, it wasn't Aunt Peggy's fault. The car just started skidding.

PEGGY: Shouldn't I have an ambulance?

TYRES SQUEAL

Look out.

CAR HORN

Why on earth hasn't this road been gritted?

I don't know. It's Albert Fogarty's job.

He never usually misses.

Well, he has this time.

Coldest night of the year and not one of these roads has been gritted.

See to it, Constable, for goodness' sake,

before someone gets k*lled.

Albert?

Albert?

Try again. One, two, three, four.

No, it's no use. I'm not doing it.

I'm only here cos Aunt Peggy said I had to come.

Oh, David, just the man.

All right?

DOG WHINES

GROANS

Yeah, there's masses more people arriving from Liverpool tonight.

Uncles, aunties, cousins.

I hope Phil doesn't feel too overwhelmed.

Oh, come on. I bet he's got loads of people.

Oh, I don't know. Oop, sorry love.

I think some of his brothers are coming up from down south,

but his nan can't be here cos she's gone into a home, so...

Oh, that's so sad.

Mm, I know.

You've checked all round, both inside and outside the cottage?

Yes, Sarge. Been back twice. No sign.

His trolley's still there, so he's not gone back to work. Well...

The council can't understand it, either.

He definitely should have been on duty.

Right. Tell me about this daughter of his.

Oh, yeah. Right. Well, she's, er, called Mrs Linda Colwell.

She lives in Newcastle.

And she's the one who took the cottage off the market, you see.

Managed to get her number off the agent.

He did say not to phone her.

Seems she was furious with her dad

for putting it up for sale in the first place.

It's Gina I'm worried about. She's really, really upset.

We are not talking about you or your cottage.

We are trying to find Mr Fogarty.

Now ring the woman up and see if he's there.

And try to keep your head clear, wedding or no wedding.

And will someone try to find a ruddy plumber?

Oh!

So, in here first for the reception.

That's right. And then, down here for the meal.

And then back in here for the dancing.

I must say, Rosie, this is all rather jolly.

It's quite like old times, in fact.

Oh, there's just one other thing I wanted to ask, Your Lordship.

It's a bit of a problem with the we...

Bit of a problem with the weather being so cold.

Another shunt on the ice, Sarge. Bread van this time.

Oh, and I phoned Albert's daughter.

He's not there. In fact, she's pretty worried.

He never goes anywhere, so she can't think what's happened.

You've checked all the local roads, I take it?

Yes, Sarge.

And she's driving down to take a look round, too.

It's all very odd. We don't know when he went missing, do we?

We don't know. Last people to see him

were Gina and Phil yesterday afternoon,

when he showed them round his cottage.

Er, should we get Whitby in, Sarge, and set up a proper search?

No, not yet. He is a grown man, after all.

Yeah, but he's very old, Sergeant.

I know that, Younger,

but it would hardly be taken seriously at this stage.

Not at least until tomorrow.

Right. I'm off, then. You know, for my leave.

Here.

A little something from Mrs Miller and myself.

Nothing fancy, and hardly what you call gift-wrapped these days,

but of use, I hope.

Sarge.

I have married off a daughter. I know how expensive weddings can be.

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

Oh, and, er, good luck tomorrow.

What is it?

It's a cheque, for pounds.

Blimey!

I must warn you, though, Rosie. It is pretty elderly.

It belonged to my grandmother, who was Russian.

Well, a Romanov, in fact.

Oh, it sounds perfect, as long as you're quite sure.

No point in it hanging in a cupboard for years on end.

Might as well be used. I'll get the housekeeper to fetch it.

Oh, thank you so much.

DOG BARKS

I'll find somewhere.

All right.

Come on. Tell us if it sounds any good.

♪ Love divine, all...

DOG WHINES

♪ Joy from...

You spoke to your dad on the phone last night

and had a bit of a disagreement? - Yes.

- About this place? - Yes.

Can you tell me about it?

Well, the plan always was, when he retired he'd come and live with us

and we'd take this over as a weekend cottage.

But all of a sudden he wanted to sell it.

He didn't want to come to me,

he wanted to use the money to buy something else round here.

So, you put your foot down.

I had to, Constable. It was a ridiculous idea.

He never would have got enough from this to buy anything.

Look at the state of it.

And you took it off the market?

Absolutely.

I told him we'd stick to the original plan.

How was he with that?

- Upset? - Well, yes.

How upset?

Well, you're not suggesting he's done something silly, are you?

STRUGGLES TO SPEAK

Where did you say they had broken down?

About miles north of London, according to my sister.

Oh, well, they'll get here in time for the wedding.

Shame about tonight.

Bet you wish you had invited your other mates now.

Yeah, well, I thought three brothers was plenty.

Well, you've still got us. Here's to a great evening, eh?

- Well, don't look so enthusiastic. - Sorry.

Pre-wedding nerves, that's what he's got.

Yeah. Be right as rain, soon as he gets some drinks down him. Hey?

Yes, come on. I'm really looking forward to it.

I've never been on a pub crawl before.

Well, I'm not sure about this. With my brothers not being here...

Look, you can't get wed without a stag night.

Oh, he's got a point there, Oscar. Three isn't really enough.

Not if you want to go mad.

Maybe we should join them, then, Bernie.

Yeah. Cheer things along a bit.

That's a great idea, and if you start off here I can join you.

Cheers.

MUSIC: 'Shout' by Lulu

Whoo-hoo!

What's all this?

- Give it me back! - Come on, give them back.

- Give them back! - Look at these, lads.

SCREAMS

Right, here we are, lads. Pints all round.

And a chaser for the condemned man.

- Thanks. - There you are.

Well, let's all raise our glasses to the happy groom.

- Right, to the happy groom. - Happy groom. Phil.

Look at this. A really strong marriage line.

- Yeah? - Does it say who to?

Don't be daft.

- The best man, of course. - Careful what you say, Sandra.

Could be a bit of rivalry, hey, Paula?

- Shut up. - You did go out with Rob.

Yeah, once, and he wasn't interested.

No, he's all yours, Carol.

You're the one he fancies, anyway.

Yeah, well, who says I fancy him?

Do me.

- Are you OK? - Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine.

There's nothing wrong?

No, I'm just a bit worried about Phil.

He's in a right state about tomorrow.

- I hope he's gonna be all right. - Watch out.

Here's comes hairy Harry.

Ah!

Get off!

Who the...

Yeah, all right! Coming.

Oh, good gracious. Hello.

It must be a shock, but I need some help.

There's a man lying out in the road and his dog won't let me get to him.

Right, you better come in.

PHONE RINGS

No cheating while I'm gone, right?

So, Alf, did you and Mrs Ventress have a big wedding, like Phil?

Oh, good heavens, no. It was a very quiet affair.

You had a good stag, though. I'll never forget that night.

Yes. And the less said about your part in it, the better.

If you had been halfway sober,

we would never have got your clothes off in the first place,

let alone get you into the phone box.

A message for you, Rob, from Jack Hollins

up at Peggy Armstrong's place.

Can you get up there quick? He's found an old man lying in the road.

- Not you, lad. You're on leave. - Sit down. Now.

We'll try and get back. You have fun. OK?

Jack Hollins? What's he doing here?

- Oh, my hip! - It's all right, Albert.

Oh! Ah. And the daft thing is it's my own fault.

I didn't grit the roads.

See, I wanted to end it all.

- But then I had a vision. -A vision?

- Right... - Roast chicken and a fire.

I see.

And then I opened my eyes and I saw the stars above

and I thought "It's such a beautiful place, the world."

I think he's wandering.

Course, I never married. Too much of a free spirit, I suppose.

Oh, that's true, Bernie. That's very true.

Right, I think I'd best get along.

- Well, it's only ten o'clock. - What about the pub crawl?

Mind you, would it be wise, with the roads being like they are?

Safer to stay here, I reckon.

No, I think it's best that, er, I get settled in at Rob's.

I tell you something, Bernie,

you've been just as happy as us lot.

I need to hang up my suit, hang my shirt...

Happier, Alf. I mean, look at Oscar.

And if Rob does get back, tell him...

A case in point. Well, marriage didn't do him any good, did it?

Captain Oates, that were the idea.

Captain Oates? Dad, what are you talking about?

Scott of the Antarctic.

Oates going out of tent into blizzard.

"I may be some time," he said.

I thought if I lay down, the cold would carry me away.

Dad...

All night, I lay there. But in the morning, I was still alive.

Unlike Oates, I had hot water bottle.

- What? - I think he means the dog.

But why, Dad?

Why did you want to die?

I didn't want to be a burden.

A burden?

Not another accident?

No. No, no. I've got a big, big favour to ask.

It's a bit of a tall order,

something I think only you could manage.

Hey.

What happened to the stag do?

Stag do...

Look, Phil, this is just pre-wedding nerves.

Like Bernie said. That's all.

And Gina won't be too pleased

if I get you to the church with a stinking hangover.

- Why is Jack Hollins here? - Hey?

You heard.

I don't know.

He's staying with a friend in the neighbourhood, I think.

- And? - And...

He'd heard about the wedding and wanted to come.

There was nothing I could do. He just invited himself.

I knew it. I knew something would happen to make it all go wrong.

Anyway, you need your beauty sleep. Come on.

It's an impossible dream, me marrying Gina.

I suppose... Hey!

I suppose, deep down, I think I've always known that.

Upstairs. Big day tomorrow.

Everything that I touch turns to dust.

Bed.

I expect... I expect she'll be gone in the morning.

Off with Jack Hollins.

Hey, Phil, novel idea, try and look on the bright side.

Look.

Brush your teeth. Your breath stinks. Go on.

- Hey, they're mine. - No, they're not.

Denise and Lauren, just stop it, will you? Go downstairs!

- Give them back! - No!

I'm sorry, Paula.

"It is with great pride and honour that today I have the honour..."

No. No, no. "I had the honour..."

Hang on.

"Ladies and gentlemen..."

- Give it back! - I told you, no!

Oi! Hey, come here!

Ah. Oh, yeah, the little bridesmaids are coming out now.

Right, that's the last car, so I'm going to... Got to get off.

- Righty-o. - Good luck with the reading.

Wow.

Thanks.

Keep out the cold.

Don't make me cry. My mascara will run.

It'll take more than one cold night to polish you off.

- Yes. Oh! - Oh, Dad.

I'm sorry.

And I'm sorry, too.

Sorry I bullied you about moving in with us.

No, love, it were a grand idea.

I can see that now.

And I've been thinking,

if you and Peter are going to keep cottage for weekends...

Well, I can still come back sometimes, can't I?

Dad, after I left you last night,

I had a long chat with the village bobby.

And, well, I've been thinking, too.

- I'm going to fluff it. - No, you're not.

I've forgot all the words.

It doesn't matter. Just repeat what the vicar says.

- It's not my fault we're late. - Nobody's late.

I didn't know it was snow, did I?

- Sit down. - He's here.

Phil.

- Hi, mate. Good luck. - Thanks.

Oh. It's nearly two o'clock. Any minute now, eh?

- I'm going to be sick. - No, you're not.

Bernie.

- Oh, my... - Your carriage awaits.

Here you go. Get this round you.

Whose horse?

She said to say it's your something borrowed.

It's Russian, apparently.

LAUGHS

- We're not going away on that. - No option, Phil. Sorry.

Er, and we've had to cancel Scarborough.

- What? - What?

The roads are closed. You'd never get there.

Come on, you two, we haven't got all night.

PEGGY: Here we are, then.

Albert's daughter changed her mind, after all.

- The place is up for sale. - But I thought...

- She relented. - GINA: What?

She's gonna help Albert

get a place in the village, like he wanted.

She doesn't want this as a weekend cottage anymore.

- I don't understand. - Neither do I.

I mean, it might be back on the market, but we haven't bought it.

- We can't just... - You're renting it, love.

Renting for now, to buy later if you want. It's been agreed.

We've had a whip-round and we've paid the first month,

so it's all yours.

On one condition,

that you look after the dog while Albert's in hospital.

Come on. Let's get you inside.

Come on. I'll hold your frock up.

- Mind, the steps are slippery. - Ooh.

BELLAMY: You're full of surprises.

PEGGY: All right? Careful.

WALKER: All yours, Mr and Mrs Bellamy.

Oh, and don't worry about Albert's mess.

Peggy and Rosie have dealt with that.

Well, mostly Peggy. She was amazing.

Yes, well, interior decor has always been my forte.

As certain people should have known all along.

- WALKER: Hey. Phil. - Yeah?

You might need this.

Don't do anything I wouldn't do!

- We won't! - Oh, just a minute.
