And When Did You Last See Your Father

en
00:00:58 What a spectacle.
00:01:02 Millions and millions of stars.
00:01:07 Funny thing, the universe.
00:01:11 Sort of scares the shit out of you,
00:01:14 So where did it
00:01:17 Don't know.
00:01:19 Just happened, I suppose.
00:01:24 So, what about when we die?
00:01:26 Nothing.
00:01:28 Nothing at all?
00:01:44 What fathead has caused all this?
00:01:49 Listen... the first race has started.
00:01:54 Ridiculous.
00:01:56 All that money to sit in a queue.
00:01:58 Arthur! Just relax, will you?
00:02:04 I know, how about a song?
00:02:16 - There's been an accident.
00:02:18 I don't know, do I, fathead?!
00:02:21 That's what we're gonna find out.
00:02:27 Why can't you just sit and wait
00:02:30 - Show them the stethoscope, pet.
00:02:33 - Let them know we're doctors.
00:02:36 - What are you doing?
00:02:40 I'm a doctor, there's been an accident.
00:02:45 This is the way
00:02:48 Minor duplicities.
00:02:51 My childhood a web
00:02:54 Parking where you shouldn't.
00:02:58 The goods off the back of a lorry.
00:03:01 He was lost if he couldn't cheat
00:03:04 My father could talk his way
00:03:10 - Tickets, sir.
00:03:13 - These are blue tickets, sir.
00:03:15 That is the whole problem.
00:03:19 I'm sorry, sir. This entrance
00:03:22 - You'll have to go back to queue.
00:03:25 Simpson, T, Trevor. Doctor, you see?
00:03:28 As a matter of fact, we're in a bit
00:03:35 - All right, Dr Simpson, in you go.
00:03:45 How about that, Blake?
00:03:48 Marvellous, bloody marvellous.
00:03:51 My father seemed to me infallible.
00:03:53 Invincible.
00:03:55 Immortal, even.
00:04:26 What do you think?
00:04:28 Very handsome.
00:04:32 - I hope I'm going to get a mention.
00:04:36 - In your acceptance speech.
00:04:44 You really think
00:05:00 - Do we have time?
00:05:15 What's going on in there?
00:05:16 Right on cue.
00:05:19 The sex police.
00:05:22 We'll be late!
00:05:26 Hear that? We got two minutes.
00:05:31 At the risk of getting sentimental, I'd
00:05:35 Not only for all her support
00:05:38 but because she asked me to mention her.
00:05:42 My dad always used to say,
00:05:44 and I'm sure he'll say it again
00:05:47 "Being a writer, in particular a poet,
00:05:51 But it's no way to make a living."
00:05:53 Of course, as in most other things,
00:05:56 Too true.
00:06:02 It's nice to be reminded I haven't been
00:06:05 So thank you very much for this.
00:06:12 I wanted him to be a doctor.
00:06:14 Nice pension, surgery, near us.
00:06:18 Have you actually read the poem?
00:06:19 - 'Course he hasn't read it.
00:06:22 - Several times.
00:06:25 - It's plastic.
00:06:28 I'm going to the bar.
00:06:30 He could've been a vet even.
00:06:39 Two words, that's all I'd like.
00:06:42 - "Well" and "done".
00:06:44 He's here for the free buffet.
00:06:46 The mean-spirited, sanctimonious,
00:06:50 - What now?
00:06:53 Look, he's telling him
00:06:56 "Have you read Jaws,
00:07:03 - Together.
00:07:06 Oh, now where are you going?
00:07:10 What's that?
00:07:12 Have a guess.
00:07:14 Now bring it to me. No, no, no.
00:07:19 - Ends together. Like that.
00:07:23 I still can't believe you hired a
00:07:27 We could've done the whole thing
00:07:30 - There was too much stuff for the van.
00:07:35 Who wants to take mummy
00:07:37 - Bye, Granddaddy.
00:07:39 My little helpers!
00:07:41 - I do all right, Dad.
00:07:45 - If you were a doctor...
00:07:48 - What's this doing here?
00:07:51 - This is Uncle Bert's chandelier.
00:07:57 Right. I'm going to need a stepladder.
00:08:01 Phillips screwdriver.
00:08:03 Length of rope.
00:08:06 - Dad?
00:08:08 Don't fuss. It's nothing.
00:08:42 Your father's going to die, Blake.
00:08:45 Of course we all die sooner or later,
00:08:48 it will be sooner.
00:08:51 - Will there be pain?
00:08:53 Not with this kind of cancer.
00:08:59 - So how long?
00:09:02 Depends if he feels like fighting.
00:09:04 He knows then?
00:09:06 He asked me the moment he came around.
00:09:14 - But we do have time?
00:09:17 - Time for what?
00:09:19 ...you know, putting things in order.
00:09:22 That means you have
00:09:26 If you do, you will win
00:09:29 It's so dramatic, I want to spell it out
00:09:32 in the next few seconds. OK.
00:09:35 So very intense time for everybody now.
00:09:37 Please now, if everyone's ready,
00:09:41 Countdown Conundrum.
00:09:43 - What did the doctor say?
00:09:48 Said you'd be back home soon.
00:09:51 ... young woman was
00:09:54 in the Clacton area of Leeds
00:09:57 Terrible. Just terrible.
00:10:00 - Know what I'd do?
00:10:05 Go if you want.
00:10:10 Actually, maybe I will,
00:10:12 I'll pop back when you're home?
00:10:15 What do I want visitors for?
00:10:17 Not now, but maybe when you're at home.
00:10:19 Come in, number one. Your time's up.
00:10:23 Come in, number three.
00:10:28 I'd better go, or I'll miss the train.
00:10:30 See you soon.
00:10:35 We're looking for Arthur Morrison.
00:10:37 Arthur Morrison. Back corridor.
00:10:40 Thank you.
00:11:34 I came as quickly as I could.
00:11:37 Am I too late?
00:11:59 Who's that then?
00:12:01 It's Blake, Dad.
00:12:03 Blake. Blake, good.
00:12:07 How did you get from the station?
00:12:11 Taxi.
00:12:13 Taxi, eh? Moneybags.
00:12:28 When did His Lordship arrive?
00:12:31 Just now.
00:12:33 He's with him now.
00:12:36 - Back in London by teatime.
00:12:39 That's enough.
00:12:41 How's he taking it?
00:12:44 - Don't know yet.
00:12:47 Hi.
00:12:49 All right.
00:12:54 Get off.
00:12:57 - Bloody thing.
00:13:01 She's just very pleased
00:13:04 Arthur's very pleased too.
00:13:08 - Is he?
00:13:11 Gosh, "Where's Blake? Where's Blake?"
00:13:18 Sorry, I would've gotten down sooner,
00:13:21 No, it's fine, darling.
00:13:25 I made up your old bedroom,
00:13:27 when you want to take your stuff up.
00:13:30 Down the corridor, up the stairs,
00:13:52 Blake? Blake, where are you?
00:14:00 Come on. She's here.
00:14:03 Come on, chop-chop.
00:14:06 She's here, Blake.
00:14:14 Blake!
00:14:22 Sandra, how are you?
00:14:26 This is our youngest, Gillian.
00:14:29 Blake is somewhere,
00:14:31 On a beautiful day like today.
00:14:51 This is the kitchen.
00:14:54 - No.
00:14:57 Yes, please.
00:15:01 There he is! Sleeping Beauty.
00:15:03 Blake, meet Sandra, our new maid.
00:15:05 Maid or housekeeper?
00:15:09 - Let's just say one of the family.
00:15:12 - You're Scottish.
00:15:17 - Whereabouts in Scotland?
00:15:19 - Oh, Glasgow.
00:15:24 No. No, I haven't.
00:15:28 Right! Well, let me show you your room,
00:15:31 and then we'd like you to start
00:15:52 Follow me, quick as you like.
00:15:54 Mind the step.
00:15:55 On the left,
00:15:58 Avoid at all costs, if I were you.
00:16:00 The last maid we had went in there,
00:16:03 No, seriously, we do have some fun.
00:16:07 It was stupid, really.
00:16:08 You spend your life trying to avoid
00:16:12 Why can't you talk to him now?
00:16:14 He's so doped up, I could be anyone.
00:16:17 I'm sure there'll be time.
00:16:19 Yeah, well, you haven't seen him,
00:16:21 No. No, I suppose not.
00:16:27 The kids are here.
00:16:28 Do you want to talk to them?
00:16:30 No, not just now, eh?
00:16:33 Really? 'Cause they want to talk to you.
00:16:36 Yeah, OK, put them on, will you?
00:16:39 - Miss you.
00:16:50 He wants you to go through
00:16:53 He thinks I won't understand it.
00:16:56 I'll start tomorrow.
00:16:59 Good luck.
00:17:01 He's got every petrol receipt
00:17:07 And then there's the workshop.
00:17:17 - You seen Sandra much?
00:17:21 She's moved into the village.
00:17:23 One of those worker's cottages,
00:17:27 Divorced.
00:17:30 Why do you ask?
00:17:32 Just curious.
00:17:41 President Kennedy
00:17:45 and in a momentous decision, has
00:17:50 This government, as promised...
00:17:52 Missed a bit.
00:17:54 - You could help.
00:17:57 - Oh yeah? Doing what?
00:18:04 - Give us a puff.
00:18:06 - Go on.
00:18:07 - What if your dad finds out?
00:18:09 He will. Your dad's all-seeing.
00:18:12 - Like God.
00:18:14 Aye, omni-whatever.
00:18:19 Besides, it's bad for you,
00:18:22 So? We'll all be dead soon, anyway.
00:18:25 - Well, you're a little ray of sunshine.
00:18:28 If the Americans invade Cuba,
00:18:32 Just think... dead.
00:18:35 And me, still a virgin.
00:18:37 Don't push your luck, Morrison.
00:19:43 You're still here then?
00:19:46 You're not running off?
00:19:49 I'm here for a while, Dad.
00:19:52 Yes, smashing. Smashing.
00:20:20 - I don't understand, what's it for?
00:20:24 It's like a normal sleeping bag,
00:20:27 but inside, a waterproof sleeve to keep
00:20:31 It will render the tent obsolete.
00:20:33 - You'll still get condensation inside.
00:20:37 - It's waterproof, see?
00:20:41 We'll find out when we put it
00:20:49 - I made two, see?
00:20:52 One for me, one for you.
00:20:56 - Thought I'd take the car out.
00:21:00 The headlights don't work,
00:21:03 He was gonna take it into the garage.
00:21:09 Halfords.
00:21:12 What, love?
00:21:13 New headlights.
00:21:23 Herpes is all right.
00:21:26 But gonorrhoea's a bastard.
00:21:30 Once you've seen what a dose of
00:21:34 I've got pictures in books at home
00:21:38 If there's another war
00:21:40 I wouldn't have thought so.
00:21:44 - You keeping an eye out for the police?
00:21:47 Self abuse, that's the thing
00:21:49 - Dad, please...
00:21:52 but it actually weakens the organ
00:21:56 - Police car, right behind us, Dad!
00:21:58 Just... over there.
00:22:03 Very funny... very smart.
00:22:09 Bloody marvellous, isn't it?
00:22:13 If they drop the bomb on Leeds,
00:22:16 I wouldn't have thought so.
00:22:18 It's God's own country.
00:22:20 What about Mum and Gillian?
00:22:22 I think Mummy and Gillian
00:22:27 What if they drop the bomb on Blackpool?
00:22:29 Why on earth would the communists
00:22:34 Liverpool, then?
00:22:36 It's a bit bloody morbid,
00:22:39 Come on, lets go and find somewhere
00:22:52 It's a lovely spot. Nice and sheltered,
00:22:58 - Shouldn't we go to a proper campsite?
00:23:01 We're English. It belongs to us.
00:23:05 Maybe we should pitch the tent first,
00:23:14 Is there a canvas bag in there, Blake?
00:23:16 - Yep, yep.
00:23:19 - Tent pegs.
00:23:23 - No, just some pegs.
00:23:29 Oh, blast! Hell, blast and damnation!
00:23:32 Why didn't you check, fathead?
00:23:35 - You packed the tent.
00:23:37 - No, I didn't. You...
00:23:42 - What you doing?
00:23:51 - Can't we sleep in the car?
00:23:54 What's the point of us coming all
00:23:57 A hotel then?
00:24:00 Look, hold that and stop moaning,
00:24:17 Mummy says hello.
00:24:19 Pub was bloody miles away.
00:24:22 Felt a bit rude just to use the phone
00:24:26 No sandwiches though.
00:24:28 - Not hungry.
00:24:36 Do you want to put the torch out, eh?
00:24:39 If you like.
00:24:41 - Night-night, Blake.
00:25:09 Dad!
00:25:22 Oh, my book!
00:25:24 It could have been a lot worse.
00:25:27 How, exactly?
00:25:29 If our sleeping bags weren't waterproof.
00:25:31 They're not waterproof!
00:25:35 - They are waterproof.
00:25:38 Well, not waterproof, water-resistant.
00:25:42 It's not funny.
00:25:45 - Where are we going?
00:25:49 Can't we just go home?
00:25:51 We've only just started!
00:25:54 Besides, the sun will burn this cloud
00:25:57 We can dry the tent out on a hedge,
00:26:03 What do you say?
00:26:04 The unrest followed
00:26:08 reiterated his command
00:26:10 I was listening to that!
00:26:12 No point in fretting.
00:26:16 If our times up, our times up.
00:26:18 That's more like it. Smashing.
00:26:56 I'm not going swimming,
00:27:00 - I'm wet enough, as it is.
00:27:02 - What for?
00:27:06 You're joking?
00:27:08 What, here?
00:27:09 Here there's no one
00:27:11 Come on, budge over!
00:27:17 Very gently off the clutch.
00:27:23 First gear. Top left.
00:27:27 Come on. Gently!
00:27:30 - Clutch! No, fathead, left foot.
00:27:33 That's it. Now gently.
00:27:36 That's it, that's it. Good.
00:27:38 Now gently away. Good.
00:27:40 Excellent. Now indicate.
00:27:44 - OK!
00:27:46 - Indicate left.
00:27:48 - Because you mustn't get in bad habits.
00:27:52 Come on! Hard round,
00:27:55 - Now, right hand down.
00:28:04 Faster, don't worry about it.
00:28:08 - It's a bit fast.
00:28:10 Faster than this?
00:28:16 Quick! Come on! That's it!
00:28:18 Excellent, do you like it?
00:28:21 One... two... three!
00:28:23 Now!
00:28:40 Come on. Come on.
00:28:44 Come on out, you little sod!
00:28:50 Come on. Come on, get up.
00:29:27 - Hello?
00:29:29 - Oh, it's you.
00:29:32 I just... I thought it might be mum.
00:29:34 I'm walking the dog.
00:29:37 Yeah, yeah, sure.
00:29:41 - As soon as I get in. Bye.
00:29:43 Come on... Stupid, stupid, stupid.
00:29:51 - Sending you mad is he?
00:29:55 Can't you come and rescue me?
00:29:57 Sorry, love, it's men only.
00:30:01 Did he blame me for that
00:30:04 What tent pole business?
00:30:06 - Didn't he tell you last night?
00:30:10 What happened with the tent poles?
00:30:14 Blake? You there?
00:30:17 He woke me at six in the morning!
00:30:19 That's never happened before.
00:30:22 I wasn't far wrong. I realised we were
00:30:27 The bloody stream had burst it's banks.
00:30:29 Blake gave me a look like thunder.
00:30:33 Excuse me a minute.
00:30:38 Here you are, a present for you.
00:30:42 - Where are you going?
00:30:44 What, again?
00:30:46 I just want to make sure
00:30:49 If anyone asks, you're 36!
00:31:07 I wish you were here too.
00:31:10 I know, but what can we do?
00:31:15 Don't be daft. You know I do.
00:31:19 Well, there's no point in worrying
00:31:23 After all, where's the harm?
00:31:27 Yes. Yeah, we will, we will.
00:31:58 How are you doing, Stirling Moss?
00:32:02 - Right, one for the road?
00:32:05 Good idea.
00:32:08 - How was Mum?
00:32:10 Oh, she was asleep.
00:32:12 - Hey, Arthur? Have you heard the news?
00:32:16 Soviet missiles
00:32:19 under United Nations supervision.
00:32:22 Further details of the deal
00:32:25 But it seems that for tonight, at least,
00:32:33 What did I tell you? No point in getting
00:32:37 Are you all right?
00:32:42 So... to Kennedy, then.
00:32:44 To Kennedy.
00:32:50 That went down well.
00:33:13 I think I'll pop you
00:33:16 - Why can't you go instead?
00:33:20 Why? Have you got one
00:33:26 No. Not yet, anyway.
00:33:30 No, I've got patients to see,
00:33:34 Somebody's got to keep that surgery
00:33:40 But why does Aunty Beaty
00:33:44 Well, because your Aunty Beaty
00:33:47 - And your Dad likes cheering her up.
00:33:52 Would you stop grizzling,
00:33:57 Look, darling, I'm sorry.
00:34:02 But you'll have fun. Go on.
00:34:04 Go on. OK.
00:34:10 Oh, one more!
00:34:13 One, two, three!
00:34:51 Let's get you down.
00:34:54 Boom-boom. Boom-boom.
00:34:58 Can you hear it?
00:35:01 Pumping away?
00:35:04 Can I have a go?
00:35:08 Blake, you and Gillian
00:35:11 whilst Aunty Beaty and I
00:35:15 - Arthur, I don't think...
00:35:18 You can look after the ladies,
00:35:21 Big, strong lad like you.
00:35:23 Go on, off you go!
00:35:46 What are you doing, Blake?
00:35:48 - What does it look like?
00:35:51 - I won't fall.
00:35:56 Blake!
00:36:09 - Blake!
00:36:11 Blake!
00:36:39 Blake, what the hell do you think you're
00:36:44 I fell out of a tree.
00:36:46 How did you get up a tree? Fly up?
00:36:50 I don't think
00:36:53 But I am going to put
00:36:56 And that's going to sting a bit.
00:37:02 Now, that's it. You take
00:37:07 Now...
00:37:09 ...best not to tell Mummy
00:37:11 You'll get me in trouble.
00:37:16 Now remember, big boys don't cry.
00:37:19 Especially not in front of girls.
00:37:22 Show them how brave you are!
00:37:24 All right?
00:37:27 Good boy.
00:37:33 Another swig of wine, please.
00:37:51 "Swig." Funny word, "swig."
00:37:57 Have you been through the papers yet?
00:38:00 The stocks and tax and stuff?
00:38:03 Not yet, Dad. No.
00:38:05 Have a look at it all, will you?
00:38:08 Your Mother's a bit scared of it,
00:38:10 I will, yes.
00:38:13 Sometime soon, all right?
00:38:33 Who's that?
00:38:36 Robert Morrison.
00:38:38 Died 1948, run over by a horse.
00:38:45 Drunk, probably.
00:38:56 It says here that Daniel Morrison...
00:38:58 ...married his wife's sister
00:39:01 Yes, his first wife died in
00:39:06 Yes, God, you weren't allowed
00:39:09 - All this scandal.
00:39:13 ...now it can come out.
00:39:16 What did Granddad die of, Mum?
00:39:19 Oh... cancer, I think. Yeah.
00:39:22 - Bowel?
00:39:27 I think you've one
00:39:34 I remember when Granddad died.
00:39:36 Dad cried for months.
00:39:38 I remember at the wake,
00:39:41 "When did you last
00:39:44 ...he just went to pieces.
00:39:53 Blake! Say hello
00:39:57 Hello, Beaty and Sam.
00:40:00 Blake? Where are you?
00:40:20 - You're meant to knock.
00:40:24 - Hello, Josie.
00:40:26 - What are you up to, then?
00:40:29 About someone who murders his father.
00:40:31 Well, read it later. Come downstairs,
00:40:35 - Why can't I just?
00:40:38 What are you drinking these days, Josie?
00:40:55 There you are!
00:40:57 We were about to send out
00:41:02 Never a piece of mistletoe
00:41:07 Merry Christmas, Blake.
00:41:10 I think you're big enough
00:41:13 - Suppose so.
00:41:17 Oh... the crown prince, eh?
00:41:21 Well, I'm going to help your mother.
00:41:37 All right, Sandra? Steve?
00:41:40 All right, skinny.
00:41:42 - Where have you been hiding, Blake?
00:41:46 Playing with yourself?
00:41:49 - or it'll snap off in your hand.
00:41:52 Dostoevsky, actually.
00:41:57 Right, well. See you later then.
00:41:59 Like the hat... Dostoevsky.
00:42:11 Grim, isn't it?
00:42:14 Sodom and Gomorrah.
00:42:16 Is it me, or does it
00:42:19 It gets worse.
00:42:21 Look at Sandra and Steve.
00:42:25 Disgusting.
00:42:28 You'd think they'd do it outside,
00:42:48 There you are. Look, what can it be?
00:42:52 - Gill?
00:42:54 - You know Josie?
00:42:58 Do you think that?
00:43:01 Do you think that she
00:43:06 - What do you mean?
00:43:12 - It's a little beauty.
00:43:19 Don't be daft.
00:44:12 One of your migraines?
00:44:17 No.
00:44:19 Just...
00:44:22 Just a headache.
00:44:27 Too much wine at dinner, I think.
00:44:35 Go back to the party. Have some fun.
00:44:45 I'll just...
00:44:49 ...go upstairs and lie down for a bit.
00:44:59 God, I wish...
00:45:01 I wish the ground could have
00:45:03 We were
00:45:06 Oh, fun! Is that what you call it?
00:45:08 It's just a dance.
00:45:11 What's Christmas
00:45:14 - I love you. Come here.
00:45:18 I found him under our bed,
00:45:22 He said he was looking for his shoes.
00:45:24 Why they'd be under our bed
00:45:29 Anyway, he's in his room now
00:45:33 I think he's still awake.
00:45:36 Not right now, no.
00:45:44 - Still there?
00:45:50 So are you staying on?
00:45:52 - Of course I am.
00:45:55 Not right now.
00:45:56 It's just that I wish...
00:45:59 I wish I could be more involved,
00:46:02 Well, you can't be, I'm sorry.
00:46:07 You sound very distant.
00:46:14 I've got to go.
00:46:15 - You don't want to talk?
00:46:18 I don't know...
00:46:20 Things, your father, the situation.
00:46:22 - Why?
00:46:26 All right then, let's talk about
00:46:31 You know, Blake, I know
00:46:36 That is no excuse
00:46:53 And the balls. They get trapped.
00:47:02 - How's that?
00:47:12 Better now?
00:47:15 Much better, pet.
00:47:27 We've been happy, haven't we?
00:47:30 We've got through it.
00:47:33 Lucky man. Lucky man.
00:47:53 - Chelsea versus Middlesbrough?
00:47:58 - Watford versus Southampton?
00:48:03 Crystal Palace
00:48:06 No score draw.
00:48:09 - Spurs versus Liverpool?
00:48:14 Your grandpa had a little Austin,
00:48:17 BFX 709, which is
00:48:21 He bought it in Blackpool, and he was
00:48:24 his team, against Blackpool.
00:48:27 And the queue of traffic was dreadful.
00:48:29 He thought "Bugger this,
00:48:32 And they were all hooting at him
00:48:35 And when he got to the end,
00:48:39 and took him in the visitors' car park.
00:48:42 So he had watch the whole match
00:48:45 He wasn't best pleased.
00:48:51 We've had some fun, haven't we?
00:48:55 It's marvellous having you here.
00:48:57 And Gill and Blake.
00:49:03 If our purpose on this earth is to leave
00:49:07 we haven't done badly, have we?
00:49:13 The shares all go in your mother's name.
00:49:17 Make sure your mother opens
00:49:21 And keep an eye on her, won't you?
00:49:23 - Don't disappear and leave it to Gill.
00:49:31 - Tired?
00:49:35 It would be good to talk at some point,
00:49:41 When you feel up to it.
00:49:43 - What about?
00:49:47 Past, I suppose. Family questions.
00:49:52 Sometime. Not today though, eh?
00:49:55 OK.
00:49:58 Not today.
00:50:03 Gentle as you like.
00:50:06 Remember, you're not hitting the ball,
00:50:11 - Kissing it, really.
00:50:14 - What?
00:50:22 Oh, very good!
00:50:24 Close... yes.
00:50:27 Now...
00:50:30 ...Morrison, Senior,
00:50:31 probably the most naturally gifted
00:50:35 addresses the ball.
00:50:37 Slow backswing,
00:50:42 And it's on it's way,
00:50:44 over the humpback bridge,
00:50:46 into the round thing covered in shells,
00:50:48 out the other side...
00:50:52 And it's there!
00:50:55 The championship. Well done, Blake.
00:50:58 You did your best,
00:51:01 you were up against a better player.
00:51:03 I enjoyed that.
00:51:20 It would be a lovely hotel to run.
00:51:23 - Do you go camping?
00:51:26 This is Blake, my eldest.
00:51:28 What are you? A blue coat, red coat?
00:51:31 Much posher than that.
00:51:34 Oh, officer!
00:51:37 - Hello.
00:51:38 - He's hoping to go to university too.
00:51:42 Maybe Nottingham, to read English.
00:51:45 Which strikes me as utterly pointless.
00:51:48 He can already read English
00:51:51 Arthur, you're such a philistine.
00:51:53 Your glass is empty. What can I get you?
00:51:55 - Technically, I'm on duty.
00:51:57 Babycham for you, Blake?
00:52:03 Well... we'll just...
00:52:05 We'll just...
00:52:10 Your dad's wonderful.
00:52:12 Yeah, well, you
00:52:15 How about you?
00:52:18 Actually, my dad's dead.
00:52:21 Heart attack, last year.
00:52:25 My mum thought it
00:52:28 Oh, I'm sorry.
00:52:31 - Were you close?
00:52:33 - Yeah?
00:52:38 I must just go and say hello.
00:52:44 "Actually, my dad's dead!"
00:52:47 Here you are. Scared her off, have you?
00:52:49 Looks like it, Dad.
00:52:52 I'll just take her this.
00:52:56 - Your wine, madam.
00:53:10 Hey, what are you up to?
00:53:12 Just reading.
00:53:14 You ought to be careful.
00:53:19 From reading in the dark, I mean.
00:53:22 That's better.
00:53:24 Why can't you just share with mum?
00:53:26 It's more fun like this, chaps together.
00:53:28 We can have a laugh, can't we?
00:53:47 Oh, sorry.
00:53:48 - I woke you.
00:53:56 How did you put up with it, Mum?
00:53:58 With what?
00:54:02 I don't know.
00:54:04 All that noise and the bluster
00:54:09 ...Beaty being around all the time.
00:54:11 I just sometimes wonder, how you...
00:54:13 ...put up with it all these years.
00:54:16 Well, I didn't.
00:54:19 Not always.
00:54:24 Dad's very groggy again.
00:54:27 I thought he was better.
00:54:29 We were chatting and he seemed better.
00:54:31 Well, that's all over now.
00:54:35 He's been having faecal vomiting.
00:54:39 I'm gonna have to change
00:54:42 I think I'm gonna need
00:54:46 Are you up to it?
00:54:54 Up.
00:54:58 Oh, blimey, Dad!
00:55:16 I think I'm gonna need you
00:55:19 I'm just gonna get you up now.
00:55:24 - Chair! Chair!
00:55:27 I won't let go. You're all right, Dad.
00:55:29 There you go. Safe now.
00:55:34 It's all right. It's all right.
00:55:38 I told you, didn't I?
00:55:46 You should have seen Blake,
00:55:47 sloshing around in the freezing
00:55:52 You weren't a happy camper,
00:55:55 No, Dad.
00:55:57 Excuse me for a moment, Rachel.
00:56:05 You're very lucky, you know?
00:56:07 Oh, yeah, yeah. I'm very lucky.
00:56:11 Do you know what he calls my mother?
00:56:14 "Mummy."
00:56:16 I mean, what kind of a man
00:56:20 - I think it's nice.
00:56:24 He's like a big kid.
00:56:27 He's never read a single book
00:56:31 As far as I can tell, he's been reading
00:56:35 There are more important things
00:56:38 Are there? I don't think so.
00:56:43 I think books are everything.
00:56:46 You want to be a writer?
00:56:48 Maybe... Ideally, I'd...
00:56:50 - Am I missing anything?
00:56:55 It's not important.
00:56:57 Will you excuse me?
00:57:09 I hate...
00:57:11 I fucking, fucking, fucking...
00:57:15 ...hate him.
00:57:19 Just a few words, if I may?
00:57:21 As you know, the Morrisons
00:57:24 so I'd like to take this opportunity
00:57:29 to meet you all and say a very special
00:57:33 who's made it such a memorable holiday,
00:57:38 So... raise your glasses
00:57:42 and drain them, doctor's orders,
00:57:44 as we say a special toast
00:57:47 Newfound friends.
00:58:01 Blake! April fool.
00:58:18 It was just a joke.
00:58:21 Blake! Blake!
00:58:25 Come and have a drink.
00:58:28 Yeah, for you and your girlfriend,
00:58:31 Honestly, an old man like you?
00:58:34 It's pathetic. You'd think Beaty
00:58:37 I beg your pardon?
00:58:38 I'm surprised you didn't
00:58:41 - She goes every where else with us.
00:58:44 - I'm sure Mummy wouldn't mind.
00:58:46 And even if she does mind,
00:58:49 - "It's just a bit of fun."
00:58:53 I love your mother very much.
00:58:56 I love all of you.
00:58:59 You mean the whole world to me.
00:59:02 So why'd you do it, Dad? Why?
00:59:05 I don't know what
00:59:07 Now come inside.
00:59:46 Hello, stranger.
00:59:47 So, what was it like then?
00:59:50 - All right for some.
00:59:54 Any holiday romance?
00:59:56 - Only for Dad.
00:59:59 If I found out you been seeing someone
01:00:02 Blake, get off.
01:00:44 Blake?
01:00:45 Blake?
01:00:48 Won't be a minute.
01:00:53 He was trying to get up
01:00:56 And he was coughing a lot
01:00:59 and panicking,
01:01:03 He... all he said was,
01:01:08 He's better now, but...
01:01:10 ...his breathing's very irregular.
01:01:15 What's he looking at?
01:01:17 Nothing.
01:01:22 Dad?
01:01:27 He's looking straight through me.
01:01:39 Please, Dad, stop breathing.
01:01:44 If you can't come back
01:02:04 Thank God.
01:02:06 I thought he'd gone then.
01:02:08 Don't do that again. Silly old bugger.
01:02:16 - I hate him.
01:02:19 - No one hates their dad, not really.
01:02:23 All I mean is...
01:02:25 ...if there's a firing squad and
01:02:29 or shooting my dad,
01:02:31 then I'd shoot my dad, that's all.
01:02:36 - What was that for? What?
01:02:38 - Don't you dare.
01:02:40 Well it's not nice.
01:02:43 Don't you dare ever, ever say anything
01:02:46 - Why not?
01:02:48 I wouldn't say that about my dad,
01:02:51 - All I meant...
01:02:54 What if it came true?
01:02:59 - Blake? Blake, where are you?
01:03:05 - Arthur!
01:03:08 Why don't you knock?
01:03:09 You frightened the life out of me!
01:03:11 I didn't think you'd be in, sorry.
01:03:14 I was just looking
01:03:17 Oh, well, he's hardly likely to be here.
01:03:20 No, I suppose not.
01:03:23 Tell Blake I was looking for him. Sorry.
01:03:46 It's ten minutes now.
01:03:49 I think he's gone, Blake.
01:04:11 Should I cover his face?
01:04:12 No.
01:04:21 You'll be all right here?
01:04:23 Yeah, I thought I might just lie down
01:04:26 Do you think?
01:04:28 - Do you think that's all right?
01:05:34 Mom.
01:05:38 Mom?
01:05:43 The undertaker's here.
01:05:46 What?
01:05:49 The undertaker's here.
01:06:27 He's still warm.
01:06:29 That's why we like
01:06:31 before the rigor mortis. After 12 hours,
01:06:37 Hello, what's this?
01:06:39 Pacemaker.
01:06:40 - Cremation is it?
01:06:43 Well, I'll have to remove that
01:06:46 Otherwise they explode.
01:06:48 I'll... I'll make a note of it.
01:07:14 Boom-boom. Boom-boom.
01:07:19 Can you hear it?
01:07:22 Pumping away?
01:07:53 I was just passing, so I thought...
01:07:56 Not exactly
01:07:58 Nope.
01:08:01 Poor old King Arthur.
01:08:04 Lent me the money for this house,
01:08:07 I won't half miss him.
01:08:10 You know, I used to think
01:08:12 But I was shagging you.
01:08:14 I thought you were
01:08:16 Christ, Blake. What did you take me for?
01:08:21 Remember how he was always
01:08:23 Sex police? Never did though, did he?
01:08:27 Too fast for him.
01:08:30 He used to say,
01:08:31 "Leave two blokes in a room
01:08:34 Leave a man and a woman,
01:08:37 Is that right?
01:08:41 You were my first love,
01:08:45 Yeah, well...
01:08:47 ...life's easier without.
01:08:52 It's funny, though, isn't it?
01:08:55 You and me. Alone together again.
01:08:57 I mean, he's not here to walk in on us.
01:08:59 Blake.
01:09:12 It's all right. Look at you.
01:09:16 Sorry. I'm sorry.
01:09:36 Hey, you want to see something?
01:09:43 - It's his pacemaker.
01:09:46 The undertaker cut it out of his chest
01:09:51 I washed it.
01:09:53 Did you see him cut it out?
01:09:56 Nope.
01:09:58 I wanted to, though.
01:10:00 I wanted to see if I could take it,
01:10:04 See if I could have been
01:10:08 - You think I've gone nuts, don't you?
01:10:12 But then you always were
01:10:16 I'm back.
01:10:25 - Hello.
01:10:29 Oh, God, it's good to see you.
01:10:32 I'm so sorry.
01:11:24 I'm sorry.
01:11:26 This isn't working, is it?
01:11:30 It's OK.
01:11:33 You just lie still.
01:11:51 How are you feeling?
01:11:54 I don't know.
01:12:01 Cheated.
01:12:30 - Do you want to go into the car?
01:12:38 - Oh, where'd you get that from?
01:12:41 - A bit loose around the belly.
01:12:46 - You don't mind, do you?
01:12:48 No, I'm sure he'd be delighted.
01:13:44 What's up?
01:14:30 Come on, you're meant to be bartending.
01:14:33 - I still can't see it.
01:14:35 The resemblance.
01:14:37 Oh, for Christ's sake, Blake,
01:14:40 It's history.
01:14:50 Would you like a drink,
01:14:52 Oh, I don't think anyone's called me
01:14:55 Look at you, Blake.
01:14:57 Goodness. Well, you look just like him.
01:15:01 I think Gill needs a hand, Mum.
01:15:04 Does she?
01:15:06 - All right, dear.
01:15:10 - Beaty, can I have a word?
01:15:13 In private.
01:15:16 The thing is, I do know something
01:15:20 - I see.
01:15:23 I'm not angry.
01:15:26 For years, furious
01:15:30 But I'm not anymore.
01:15:32 At least I don't think so.
01:15:34 But I would like to know the truth.
01:15:37 I need to know the truth.
01:15:40 You can't understand that, can you?
01:15:42 Well, yes. Yes, I suppose so.
01:15:49 Well, mine was never a very happy
01:15:53 ...patron saint of lost causes,
01:15:57 ...consoled me, I suppose.
01:16:00 I was lonely, and he made me laugh.
01:16:04 I wouldn't have got
01:16:07 It was consolation, Blake.
01:16:10 - But was it physical?
01:16:13 Yes, I think it is.
01:16:16 Leave me something
01:16:34 Whatever sadness,
01:16:37 whatever hurt we caused you,
01:16:42 All I will say is this:
01:16:46 Arthur loved your mother more than
01:16:51 And you too. You and Gill.
01:16:55 And he was proud of you.
01:16:58 So, so proud.
01:17:01 Even if he didn't always show it.
01:17:10 But what about Josie?
01:17:14 Do I have a sister?
01:17:18 Oh, there you are.
01:17:21 - Sorry.
01:17:28 I'm gonna miss him so much.
01:17:56 Goodbye.
01:18:13 Blake!
01:18:29 - Sure you don't want me to drive you?
01:18:32 I can run you to the station
01:18:34 I prefer this way really.
01:18:37 How far are your digs at the other end?
01:18:40 Couple of miles.
01:18:42 - How you going to get there?
01:18:45 - Bus, I suppose.
01:18:48 - Or taxi.
01:18:51 - Is that right, moneybags?
01:18:53 Once your allowance is gone, that's it.
01:18:57 - Doesn't grow on trees.
01:19:00 You're studying a proper subject,
01:19:02 like medicine or science,
01:19:04 Dad, please.
01:19:07 Right then.
01:19:11 See you then.
01:19:13 See you, Dad.
01:19:20 TTFM.
01:19:24 I'll miss you.
01:19:33 You too, Dad.
01:20:26 Dad.
01:20:50 When did you last
01:20:53 Was it when they burnt the coffin?
01:20:56 Put the lid on it?
01:21:00 When he exhaled his last breath?
01:21:03 When he sat up
01:21:09 When he last recognized you?
01:21:11 When he last smiled?
01:21:24 When did you last see your father?
01:21:27 The last time he was healthy, active?
01:21:30 The last time you had
01:21:37 Dear old Dad.
01:21:41 Want to keep this,
01:21:44 No.
01:21:45 - Yes, I can.
01:21:47 Dad would have done, you know?
01:21:51 Those weeks
01:21:53 were like a series of depletions.
01:21:55 Each day I thought, "He can't get
01:21:59 Yet each day he did.
01:22:02 So I've been trying to recall
01:22:06 The last time he was unmistakably there,
01:22:09 in the fullness of being...
01:22:12 ... him.
01:22:24 - What are you doing?
01:22:27 - You using a Phillips screwdriver?
01:22:29 - No wonder you can't do it.
01:22:31 - Doesn't look like it.
01:22:33 - Are you sure it's gonna hold?
01:22:36 Right, let's see.
01:22:38 Absolutely.
01:22:40 Gently does it.
01:22:43 - There.
01:22:51 Moment of truth.
01:22:59 Let there be light.
01:23:13 Right. What's next then?
