00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:42,280
He was tremendous.
176
00:09:47,680 --> 00:09:50,240
[announcer] The stars are hitting
the red carpet in London today
177
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:52,880
for the 1987 British Television Awards.
178
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:54,000
[chattering]
179
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,920
Competition is tight
in this year's drama series category.
180
00:09:57,560 --> 00:10:01,720
It could be The Life and Loves of
a She-Devil, The Singing Detective...
181
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:02,800
Hello, boys.
182
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:06,000
...or will they go with this year's
audience choice of Four Men Went To Mow?
183
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:07,720
- [reporters clamouring]
- [shutters clicking]
184
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,400
- [reporter 1] Declan!
- [reporter 2] Minister! Over here!
185
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:16,520
This way, please! How are you
doing tonight, Mr Campbell-Black?
186
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:18,080
Feeling lucky?
187
00:10:22,560 --> 00:10:23,680
[reporter 3] Here, please!
188
00:10:23,680 --> 00:10:25,600
[reporter 4] You're the new boys
on the block!
189
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:28,520
[Rupert] This is my first, uh,
Television Awards.
190
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:31,960
Yeah. Listen, very good to see you.
We'll chat soon.
191
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:34,560
- [reporter 1] Declan!
- [reporter 2] Minister!
192
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:36,680
[shutter clicks]
193
00:10:36,680 --> 00:10:40,080
- [reporters clamouring]
- [shutters clicking]
194
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:42,640
- [cork pops]
- [server] Champagne, sir?
195
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:43,720
[Declan] Thank you.
196
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:46,880
[Rupert]
I told you I could get us invited.
197
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:50,680
Well, got to say, Rupert, this was
definitely one of your better ideas.
198
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:52,640
Yeah.
199
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:53,720
[sighs]
200
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:55,960
See the look on Tony's face?
201
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,600
So, who's the big fish
we want to lure tonight?
202
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:01,840
Lots of potential, but, uh,
203
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:03,720
that's Harold White
over there from Grenada.
204
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:06,480
He's my number one
for programme controller.
205
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:09,720
- Reel him in then.
- Mm-hmm.
206
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:12,600
[guests chattering, laughing]
207
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:15,040
- [Declan] Harold!
- [Harold] Ah, Declan.
208
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:16,360
- Nice to see you.
- Mmm.
209
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:24,600
Hoped I'd run into you here.
210
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:27,600
Thanks for keeping your
mouth shut about Venturer.
211
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:30,800
If it's any consolation, we didn't
read your application in the end.
212
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:32,560
Declan thought it wasn't fair game.
213
00:11:32,560 --> 00:11:33,640
Mmm.
214
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:36,600
At least someone in your consortium
has integrity.
215
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:38,520
You still won't win though.
216
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:45,120
Cameron Cook. [chuckles]
217
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:46,680
I was hoping I'd bump into you.
218
00:11:46,680 --> 00:11:47,880
- Julian Hathaway.
- Mmm.
219
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:50,400
I'm, uh, part of the group
that's pitching for Yorkshire TV.
220
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:54,040
And we'd very much like to talk to you
about coming on board.
221
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:56,960
I'm happy at Corinium.
222
00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:58,800
Well, we can top what Tony's paying you.
223
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:00,160
Our pockets are just as deep.
224
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:03,080
But not your vision,
and I'm a vision kind of a woman.
225
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:04,160
Well-- [chuckles]
226
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:06,520
Fuck off, Hathaway.
227
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:10,840
What did that slimeball want?
228
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:13,800
He asked me to join his bid
for Yorkshire Television.
229
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:16,240
- And what did you say?
- That I'm happy where I am.
230
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:17,400
- Ah.
- [chuckles]
231
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:19,000
- Tony, hi.
- Richard.
232
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,120
Hi. Great to see you
at the board meeting the other night.
233
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:22,880
Sorry, you remember my wife, Alicia.
234
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:24,840
So glad you're here.
235
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:28,400
Come on, Harold. You spent the last ten
minutes telling me how unhappy you are.
236
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:33,360
[scoffs] You left Corinium in a blaze
of alcohol-soaked violence
237
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:38,720
documented on live television and every
gossip columnist this side of Wapping.
238
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:42,840
Hardly the ideal CV
for the managing director.
239
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:44,640
Won't you at least think about it?
240
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:46,080
Look, you're a good friend, Declan.
241
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:48,320
And, yes,
you are a very talented presenter,
242
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:50,600
but running a franchise?
243
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:52,760
It's a completely different skill set.
244
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:57,120
And, frankly, I can't risk my
entire career on that kind of long shot.
245
00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:58,880
- [imitates pop]
- Harold.
246
00:12:58,880 --> 00:12:59,960
[footsteps departing]
247
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:04,160
[sighs]
248
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:05,840
[inhales deeply, sighs]
249
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:07,880
- [host] Ladies and gentlemen...
- Good luck.
250
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:10,560
...presenting tonight's award
for the best drama series,
251
00:13:10,560 --> 00:13:12,800
please welcome Miss Nathalie Perrault.
252
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:15,560
- [crowd applauding]
- [♪ awards theme music plays]
253
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:24,160
It's so lovely to be back in the UK
to present this award,
254
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:26,920
and to have such a warm welcome.
255
00:13:28,680 --> 00:13:32,280
- [clears throat]
- The winner of best drama series is...
256
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:35,120
[gasps] C'est magnifique!
Four Men Went To Mow!
257
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:36,880
- Yes!
- [crowd cheering]
258
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:38,960
[laughs]
259
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:40,720
- [Ginger] Well done.
- [shutter clicks]
260
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:45,760
[Tony] Well done. Well done, boys.
261
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:49,680
- Well done, Tony.
- [Tony] So proud.
262
00:13:52,560 --> 00:13:53,560
Good to see you.
263
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:56,520
I'd want an award
if I had to sleep with Tony.
264
00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:59,040
Oh, she's a woman who gets
what she wants, that's for sure.
265
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:00,120
Hmm.
266
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:03,000
[crowd applauding]
267
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:06,520
Mwah! Thank you.
268
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:11,280
Thank you.
269
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:14,240
Thank you so much
for this British Television Award.
270
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:15,480
It means a huge amount.
271
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:21,080
I remember the day that my dad
brought home our first television.
272
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:23,920
A Ferranti.
It was quite the status symbol in 1952.
273
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:25,120
[crowd laughing]
274
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:28,280
Big wooden, uh, box of tricks
275
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:31,080
warming up in the corner
of our lounge. Sitting room.
276
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:37,760
Um, my father, Lord Baddingham,
loved television.
277
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:43,120
He spent his days walking the corridors
of power with world leaders,
278
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:45,360
helping good men to win bad wars.
279
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:48,880
And then he'd come home in the evening
and sit down and watch Coronation Street.
280
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:50,440
[crowd laughs on TV]
281
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:52,920
He would have loved Four Men Went To Mow.
282
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:57,000
Four Men Went To Mow
entertains 12 million people weekly.
283
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,800
And that's in the UK alone.
It's become a global phenomenon.
284
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:03,720
Dad, I hope I've made you proud tonight.
285
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:10,360
[inhales sharply] Uh, but it would never
have become what it is,
286
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:15,280
a lauded and beloved
national and international hit,
287
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:21,800
without the real brains
behind the programme and behind Corinium,
288
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:26,520
the force of nature that is Cameron Cook.
289
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:28,920
Cameron, this award is yours.
290
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:31,560
[crowd applauding]
291
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:32,760
[chuckles]
292
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:48,440
Mmm. [chuckling]
293
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:50,440
[inhales deeply] Wow.
294
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:51,520
Um...
295
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:58,920
When Tony invited me to England
to become a part of the Corinium family,
296
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:05,000
he promised that together we would make
award-winning television with integrity.
297
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:07,680
Thank you.
298
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:14,480
This... [sighs, chuckles]
299
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:17,760
[sighs]
300
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:20,240
This really means a lot.
301
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:24,920
[crowd applauding on TV]
302
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:32,440
[host] Congratulations to Lord Baddingham,
Cameron Cook,
303
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:35,600
and the Corinium Television team
behind Four Men Went To Mow.
304
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:38,320
[crowd applauding]
305
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:39,960
Thank you very much.
306
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:04,600
[chuckles]
307
00:17:06,360 --> 00:17:08,760
- Get your-- [groans]
- [chuckling]
308
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:16,760
You're not scared somebody might see us?
309
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:22,760
Tonight I am all yours.
310
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:27,480
[Cameron sighs]
311
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:12,800
- [birds chirping]
- [♪ opera music playing]
312
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:51,000
[Tony] What's happened?
313
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:53,720
Walter Scott's dead.
314
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:55,040
Oh.
315
00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:57,960
And I'm sorry to ruin
your first British Television Award.
316
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:01,400
You could never ruin anything.
317
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:07,240
- I'm sorry.
- Mmm.
318
00:19:09,360 --> 00:19:11,360
[Tony] He was such a loyal animal.
319
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:16,320
I hope no one saw you coming here.
320
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:19,800
Not that it isn't lovely to see you,
but just if Tony knew... [sighs]
321
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:22,040
Don't worry. I was very careful.
322
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:23,520
[sighs] Thanks. Right.
323
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:26,080
[clears throat] So, what can I do for you?
324
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:28,800
We'd like you to join Venturer.
325
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:29,880
What?
326
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:32,480
Did Taggie put you up to this?
327
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:35,560
- She told me she saw you.
- I don't need pity.
328
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:37,960
I'm not offering pity, Charles.
329
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:42,800
You are still
one of the best and brightest.
330
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:44,920
A real whizz-kid.
331
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:46,920
Well, I'm a "was-kid" now.
332
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:48,840
Because Tony makes you feel worthless?
333
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:54,200
He is wrong. You have so much to offer.
334
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,000
You would make an incredible
controller of programmes.
335
00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:59,400
No. No, no, no, no. I-I can't.
336
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:02,600
- Not with Mother. The... The stress.
- Okay, all right. All right.
337
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:04,720
How about documentaries?
338
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:06,880
It's where you started out.
339
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:08,200
[chuckles]
340
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:10,920
I would love that.
341
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:12,480
Thank you.
342
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:14,280
- Tea!
- Yes.
343
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:16,480
[door opens]
344
00:20:17,360 --> 00:20:20,080
May our British Television Award
be the first of many.
345
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:22,440
- [all cheering]
- [Charles] Bravo!
346
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:27,520
- Now, you all need to sign new contracts.
- What for?
347
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:29,600
[Ginger] Standard practise
in any franchise year.
348
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:31,280
Tony needs to know that you're loyal.
349
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:33,560
Ms Madden will have them
on your desk tomorrow.
350
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:35,800
Signed and returned by Friday, please.
351
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:38,400
[Tony] No holidays to be taken
till this is in the bag.
352
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:40,880
Not even sick days
unless you're actually dying.
353
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:42,120
Between now and December,
354
00:20:42,120 --> 00:20:44,920
we are gonna wow the IBA
with our creative output.
355
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:48,400
But we also need to discredit Venturer.
356
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:51,520
Declan was desperately pushed
for cash when he worked here.
357
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:52,720
How has he raised funds?
358
00:20:53,360 --> 00:20:55,840
We should investigate any IRA connections.
359
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:58,960
- Well, not all Catholics are terrorists.
- Well, he's tried to blow us sky-high.
360
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:01,360
- I wouldn't put anything past him.
- Rupert's a government minister.
361
00:21:01,360 --> 00:21:03,720
Surely being a part of Venturer
is a conflict of interest.
362
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:04,800
Mmm.
363
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:06,120
No, sadly.
364
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:09,240
But get your husband
to ask about it in the House anyway.
365
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:10,680
Nothing wrong with seeding doubts.
366
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:12,160
What about the bishop?
367
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:15,880
Bet he's fiddled with a choir boy or two.
One for you to investigate there, Charles.
368
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:17,200
- [scoffs]
- But most importantly,
369
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:19,480
find out who Rupert's sleeping with, Seb.
There's gotta be something.
370
00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:22,280
- [Seb] That's not the sort of journalism--
- I don't give a fuck!
371
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:25,560
I also heard Freddie Jones
on the radio this morning
372
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:27,720
doing his man-of-the-people shtick.
373
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:29,880
Ginger, remind Radio Cotchester
I'm on their board.
374
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:31,280
I don't want any more of that coverage.
375
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:32,360
Consider it done.
376
00:21:32,360 --> 00:21:36,560
They'll be recruiting production people,
so watch your colleagues.
377
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:40,440
- Cheers.
- [all] Cheers.
378
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:42,760
Now fuck off, the lot of you.
379
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:44,880
- Excuse me.
- [chuckles]
380
00:21:48,120 --> 00:21:51,200
[Charles] He was so angry.
You need to be careful.
381
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:54,000
So he's really gunning for us then?
382
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:55,800
I've never seen him so determined, Declan.
383
00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:57,320
[stammers] He's like a man possessed.
384
00:21:58,080 --> 00:21:59,800
He's going to try to destroy you.
385
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:01,480
Thanks for the heads-up.
386
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:07,640
You're gonna have to do better than that
387
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:09,640
if you're gonna work
for Venturer, Charles.
388
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:10,840
[laughs]
389
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:14,240
Oh, yes. Oh, very good, Sebastian.
Very funny.
390
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:17,480
D-Don't make that joke to Tony though.
391
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:19,960
Oh, I don't make jokes
about things not funny.
392
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:23,880
And you helping Venturer
win the franchise,
393
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:26,000
that isn't funny at all.
394
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:30,680
[Tony] We've had word that
with the rocketing AIDS numbers,
395
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:33,800
the IBA wants real focus on family values.
396
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:35,680
So, with that in mind, I thought...
397
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:40,720
We thought that a programme
on how to stay married would fly.
398
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:41,840
Network slot, of course.
399
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:43,760
Network?
400
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:48,800
Uh, yeah. Uh, great.
Marriage, um, finances, dual careers,
401
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:54,280
housework, uh, sex, rows...
[stammers] ...decorating the house.
402
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:56,880
And we'd like you to front it
with a lady very close to your heart.
403
00:22:57,480 --> 00:22:58,640
Sarah would be honoured.
404
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:02,360
[chuckling] I'm not talking about Sarah.
I'm talking about Lizzie, your wife.
405
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:05,400
Lizzie. [stammers] Yeah, of course.
406
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:08,320
So the fewer working lunches
you have with Mrs Stratton from now on,
407
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:10,520
the better. Yeah?
408
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:13,520
Absolutely, Tony. Uh...
409
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:15,320
Off you pop.
410
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:17,960
Right, yes. Uh, okay. [chuckles]
411
00:23:19,360 --> 00:23:21,000
[chuckles]
412
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:22,360
- [blows raspberry]
- [door closes]
413
00:23:22,360 --> 00:23:24,440
[birds chirping]
414
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:34,600
[James] Darling.
415
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:39,320
- Guess what?
- What?
416
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:40,880
We've been offered our own show.
417
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:43,960
What do you mean our own show?
418
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:45,360
You and me.
419
00:23:45,360 --> 00:23:48,200
Tony wants to call it How To Stay Married.
420
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:51,200
[chuckles] Us on TV?
421
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:54,160
Well, it'll mainly be me,
but Tony wants you too for authenticity.
422
00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:55,640
[Lizzie] Well... [stammers] ...I can't.
423
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:59,360
My editor's screaming at me for a draft.
There aren't enough hours in a day.
424
00:23:59,360 --> 00:24:00,640
Of course you can.
425
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:04,000
There's nothing you can't do.
Haven't I always said that?
426
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:10,560
In fact, this show, it could be the push
your books need to really, you know,
427
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:13,440
sell. [sighs]
428
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:17,840
[scoffs] But I-I hate being photographed,
let alone on camera.
429
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:19,640
- Can't you do it on your own?
- Oh, for God's sake!
430
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:22,720
Of course not, Lizzie. Tony wants you. Us.
431
00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:25,160
He asked me personally.
432
00:24:26,120 --> 00:24:29,840
At least do the screen test
before you decide to destroy my career.
433
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:31,560
[chuckles]
434
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:34,000
Okay. Fine.
435
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:35,400
I'll do the test.
436
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:36,480
[grunts]
437
00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:39,200
- This is gonna be the making of us.
- [chuckles]
438
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:43,000
[sighs]
439
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:46,560
[people chattering]
440
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:48,560
[bartender] Here we are, ladies. Top up?
441
00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:50,160
[Basil] Excuse me,
442
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:54,520
what are my two favourite girls
doing having a drink in my bar
443
00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:55,600
without letting me know?
444
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:58,360
- We're on the run from our humdrum lives.
- Are you really?
445
00:24:58,360 --> 00:25:00,960
Oh, you are disgustingly brown.
446
00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:03,320
A few weeks playing polo in Argentina
will do that to a chap.
447
00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:04,680
[employee] Bas.
448
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:06,760
No rest for the wicked. Excuse me.
449
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:10,200
[groans] That arse.
450
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:13,200
Well, we'll have to meet in secret
from now on, or James will have a fit.
451
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:14,920
Oh, good practice for having an affair.
452
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:16,000
[chuckles]
453
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:20,000
I've never had an affair.
454
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:22,000
[sighs] I think if
I didn't have my admirers,
455
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:23,960
I doubt Declan
and I would still be married.
456
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:25,960
- Oh.
- What? He sleeps with his work.
457
00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:29,600
I need something. Everybody does.
It's how people stay married.
458
00:25:30,360 --> 00:25:31,600
You sound like Rupert.
459
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:34,320
[chuckles] I'll take that as a compliment.
460
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:37,400
Really? You've never fancied
just a little bit on the side?
461
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:39,840
Much too complicated.
462
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:43,560
[sighs] I love complications.
463
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:48,120
Makes life much more exciting.
464
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:50,240
Mmm.
465
00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:56,240
[knocking]
466
00:26:00,360 --> 00:26:01,520
[Taggie] Can I help you?
467
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:04,480
- [chuckles]
- Where's your father?
468
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:06,400
[door closes]
469
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:08,680
Christ, Charles. What are you playing at?
470
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:13,560
Sorry. It keeps the Baddingham KGB
off my trail. Something's happened.
471
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:17,000
So, now you know then.
472
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:19,080
What are you gonna do, Seb?
473
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:21,200
Tell Tony about Charles?
474
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:27,760
Declan, working with you
was the best job I've ever had.
475
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:31,600
What I'd like to do is-is join you.
476
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:33,760
If you'll have me.
477
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:36,200
I could be another mole in Tony's camp.
478
00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:37,520
I always fancied myself a spy.
479
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:39,960
Careful you don't get, like,
carried away, Sebastian.
480
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:41,920
[chuckles] Sorry, couldn't resist.
481
00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:44,080
You really want to help us take on Tony?
482
00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:47,240
Ousting bullies is
what I went into journalism to do.
483
00:26:56,120 --> 00:26:57,800
- [Declan] Head of news, perhaps.
- Mmm.
484
00:26:57,800 --> 00:26:58,720
Welcome on board.
485
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:00,280
- Bravo.
- [Seb] Thank you.
486
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:07,920
Table for two?
487
00:27:09,120 --> 00:27:11,920
- It's a bit public, isn't it?
- Actually, we're here to see you.
488
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:14,360
Right.
489
00:27:14,360 --> 00:27:16,080
It's high time you joined Corinium.
490
00:27:18,120 --> 00:27:20,240
There's a seat on the board
with your name on it.
491
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:23,160
That's very generous of you.
492
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:25,560
I need people around me I can trust,
who have my back.
493
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:28,640
This isn't about work. It's about loyalty.
494
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:29,720
Family.
495
00:27:30,360 --> 00:27:33,080
Saying that, Corinium's a very
lucrative business to get involved in.
496
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:35,800
And we've got amazing programme plans
in all areas.
497
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:38,200
So this is really the time
for you to join the board.
498
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:39,280
[Rupert clears throat]
499
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:42,800
Good afternoon, Tony.
500
00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:46,560
I've just signed with the other side.
501
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:49,960
Rupert's promised to put Polo
on television,
502
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:51,280
something I'm interested in
503
00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:53,520
that you've always dismissed
as ridiculous.
504
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:57,760
You only want me to join your board
so you can impress the IBA with your...
505
00:27:57,760 --> 00:27:59,480
[chuckles] ...your family values.
506
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:03,120
Whereas Venturer asked me
because they know what I'm worth.
507
00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:06,600
I'm not just your little brother, Tony.
508
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:09,200
I'm an asset.
509
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:16,240
No. The only asset you have
is the Baddingham name,
510
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:18,560
and you got that by the skin
of your illegitimate teeth.
511
00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:19,640
[scoffs]
512
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:22,120
Rupert asked you to try to hurt me.
513
00:28:22,120 --> 00:28:23,760
That's how desperate he is.
514
00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:30,840
Look at you all.
515
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:35,880
A drunk, an oik

516
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:40,200
All you've got in common is overblown ego.
517
00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:47,160
I'd enjoy destroying you all,
but you'll implode all by yourselves.
518
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:56,200
[Declan] Tony's right though, isn't he?
519
00:28:56,880 --> 00:28:58,680
Nobody would touch us with a bargepole.
520
00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:00,960
We have morals.
That should count for something.
521
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:02,640
[Declan] Yeah, some of us do.
522
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:04,440
What, so Bas isn't on board then?
523
00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:06,280
It doesn't matter how many people join us.
524
00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:08,880
Declan's the only person on our team
who's actually made any television.
525
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:12,640
Well, you haven't lost anyone's respect
if you just jack it all in.
526
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:15,760
I-I mean, the whole of Fulham
are desperate for us to return.
527
00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:18,120
- I mean, we could even go back to Dublin.
- [scoffs]
528
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:20,760
You said I'd have to drag you
by your hair back to Dublin.
529
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:23,040
[Maud] At least someone
will be touching me, Declan.
530
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:24,800
[Freddie] Tony's got inside our heads.
531
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:26,160
It's exactly what he wants.
532
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:27,400
[Declan] But is he right?
533
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:30,360
Is Venturer a stupid idea?

Morning.
538
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:49,120
- Busy day today.
- Mm-hmm.
539
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:50,760
Oh, and the PM's office called.
540
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:52,560
To say what?
541
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:55,960
Well, she thinks you've joined
the wrong team in this franchise race.
542
00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:58,240
Backbenchers are beginning
to doubt your intentions.

{\an8}Darling, do you think you'll be back
in time to record my radio interview?
545
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:23,000
I've left a blank tape next to the hi-fi.
546
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:25,080
Oh, no. I'm not going to Corinium today.
547
00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:26,800
James is doing the screen test
with Lizzie,
548
00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:29,200
so I thought I'd keep out of the way.
549
00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:31,040
Right.
550
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:33,000
Mmm.
551
00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:38,480
I'm surprised you're so relaxed.
552
00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:40,560
- What do you mean?
- Oh, come off it, Sarah.
553
00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:46,640
Lizzie and James's show goes well,
Tony will want her for Round-Up too.
554
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:49,200
All that real-life chemistry on screen.

[chuckles] It's a shame, really.
557
00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:56,120
You being on TV
was very good for our profile.
558
00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:57,760
Tony'd never do that.
559
00:30:57,760 --> 00:30:59,160
James wouldn't have it.
560
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:01,640
Ambition is a cruel mistress.

- No, absolutely not.

on screen when you're relaxed.
571
00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:52,960
I am completely relaxed already.

00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:55,080
- Are you?
- Yes, I am. Look, Sarah--

James, what Tony doesn't know
won't hurt him.

Lizzie needs work, but she'll get there.

00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:03,480
...is pitching for its Central South West
ITV franchise in the area.
687
00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:06,640
And we'd like your support
on our campaign.
688
00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:09,440
We're really interested in rugby
at all levels,
689
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:12,480
and we'd like to promote
competitive sports in... [gasps]
690
00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:14,040
- [all cheering]
- ...future.
691
00:39:18,520 --> 00:39:20,080
[Mr Makepiece]
You better go, Taggie, love.
692
00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:22,120
- Before they turn feral.
- [all chanting]
693
00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:25,960
[Taggie stammers]
I'll just leave this here.
694
00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:33,040
[panting]
695
00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:36,080
[sighs]
696
00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:38,360
[Taggie] Take the first left
off of the village green,
697
00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:40,680
and carry on straight down
that road for about two miles.
698
00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:44,120
Turn left at the fork in the road
and follow the signs...
699
00:39:44,120 --> 00:39:46,160
What fork in the road?
There isn't a fork in the road.
700
00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:48,640
[sighs] Fuck's sake.
701
00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:50,520
[cassette rewinding]
702
00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:53,520
- [horn honks]
- [gasps] Shit!
703
00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:55,080
- [grunts]
- [tyres screeching]
704
00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:57,720
- [crashes]
- [panting]
705
00:39:57,720 --> 00:39:58,880
Shit.
706
00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:02,800
[panting, groaning]
707
00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:04,680
- [whimpers]
- Unlock the door.
708
00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:05,800
[car door opens]
709
00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:07,400
- [Rupert] You okay?
- [panting]
710
00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:08,760
- You okay?
- [stammers] I'm fine.
711
00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:11,840
[panting, whimpering]
712
00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:13,160
[sighs]
713
00:40:13,160 --> 00:40:15,120
It's a blind corner.
Sydney didn't see you.
714
00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:16,760
- Are you hurt?
- [sighs]
715
00:40:16,760 --> 00:40:18,560
- No. [pants]
- Sure?
716
00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:20,560
- She need an ambulance?
- No. No.
717
00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:23,360
- I'm okay. I-I'm okay. I'm fine.
- Take a breath.
718
00:40:23,360 --> 00:40:24,440
Take a breath.
719
00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:25,680
I better drive her home. I'm...
720
00:40:25,680 --> 00:40:27,240
I'll see you tomorrow, Gerald.
721
00:40:28,280 --> 00:40:30,000
- You all right?
- Yeah.
722
00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:32,880
[car door closes]
723
00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:34,520
[sighs]
724
00:40:35,160 --> 00:40:36,240
[engine starts]
725
00:40:36,240 --> 00:40:38,760
[Taggie] ... road. You'll next
be looking out for the post office,
726
00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:40,160
which should be in around--
727
00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:42,000
[Rupert] Is that you?
728
00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:45,960
Um, yeah, I'm terrible at directions.
729
00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:48,120
You've not been travelling around
on your own?
730
00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:51,320
Oh, I-I don't mind.
We've got so much ground to cover.
731
00:40:51,320 --> 00:40:55,800
But, um, yeah, no,
today was hard. [chuckles]
732
00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:03,560
- [Rupert clears throat]
- [seat belt clicks]
733
00:41:17,840 --> 00:41:19,120
You're very quiet.
734
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:23,080
[sighs] Too much to think about.
735
00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:26,880
You worried about the franchise?
736
00:41:28,040 --> 00:41:29,040
No.
737
00:41:30,600 --> 00:41:32,080
God, no. [clears throat] Not at all.
738
00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:33,720
No, worrying is for losers.
739
00:41:34,360 --> 00:41:35,360
[chuckles]
740
00:42:02,160 --> 00:42:03,400
Thanks for driving me back.
741
00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:06,960
Least I could do after
nearly running you off the road.
742
00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:08,440
[both chuckle]
743
00:42:11,360 --> 00:42:12,360
- Well--
- Um--
744
00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:13,960
[clicks tongue]
745
00:42:14,720 --> 00:42:16,960
The PM's announcing the election tomorrow.
746
00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:18,920
When she does, I'll be canvassing
all over the area.
747
00:42:18,920 --> 00:42:20,160
Why don't you come with me?
748
00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:22,960
Paddle the Venturer canoe.
749
00:42:23,800 --> 00:42:25,160
Better than slogging around on your own.
750
00:42:25,160 --> 00:42:27,400
We can even use the Tory loudspeaker
to plug Venturer
751
00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:30,240
- when no one from the party's listening.
- Is that allowed?
752
00:42:30,240 --> 00:42:31,280
We'll make it allowed.
753
00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:34,360
[chuckling]
754
00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:35,920
Thank you. Thanks.
755
00:42:36,960 --> 00:42:39,440
Um, how are you gonna get back?
756
00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:41,880
Um...
757
00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:43,360
[clicks tongue] I'll walk.
758
00:42:44,040 --> 00:42:45,040
It's--
759
00:42:46,320 --> 00:42:47,400
Gorgeous evening.
760
00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:52,600
- Okay, well, let's just--
- Yeah, yeah.
761
00:42:52,600 --> 00:42:54,040
There you go. [clears throat]
762
00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:02,440
Okay.
763
00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:05,960
Um, don't worry about the bid.
764
00:43:06,760 --> 00:43:08,760
You're a winner.
You'll work out what to do.
765
00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:24,680
[door opens, closes]
766
00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:47,880
[sighs]
767
00:43:49,880 --> 00:43:50,960
[knocks on door]
768
00:43:52,800 --> 00:43:53,800
[door creaks]
769
00:43:56,720 --> 00:43:58,520
What the hell are you doing here?
770
00:43:58,520 --> 00:44:00,560
Five minutes, please. Then I'll go.
771
00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:02,840
Five minutes
and then I'm calling the police.
772
00:44:12,720 --> 00:44:15,760
Look, I should never
have taken your application.
773
00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:17,240
It was a dirty trick to play.
774
00:44:17,240 --> 00:44:18,800
I can't take back what I did,
775
00:44:18,800 --> 00:44:23,280
but I can give you
our application in return.
776
00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:29,320
Comes with an offer,
controller of programmes.
777
00:44:29,320 --> 00:44:32,040
Carte blanche to make any show you want.
778
00:44:32,640 --> 00:44:35,640
[chuckles] Wow.
779
00:44:37,160 --> 00:44:38,240
You can't afford me.
780
00:44:38,240 --> 00:44:39,920
Yes, we can.
781
00:44:40,800 --> 00:44:43,440
But we can also offer you something
more than money.
782
00:44:45,040 --> 00:44:48,120
Stay with Tony
and you will never be a true partner.
783
00:44:49,200 --> 00:44:50,760
With us, you can be a founder,
784
00:44:52,040 --> 00:44:53,680
have an empire of your own.
785
00:44:56,720 --> 00:45:00,200
Read our application, sleep on it,
do whatever you need to do,
786
00:45:00,200 --> 00:45:03,680
but we are deadly serious.
787
00:45:05,040 --> 00:45:06,040
We want you.
788
00:45:07,880 --> 00:45:09,880
You know,
I could hand that straight to Tony.
789
00:45:09,880 --> 00:45:11,680
It's a huge risk you're taking.
790
00:45:11,680 --> 00:45:13,000
You're worth the risk.
791
00:45:15,040 --> 00:45:17,160
There's a meeting at Penscombe,
3:00 on Sunday.
792
00:45:18,680 --> 00:45:20,920
If you like what we have to offer,
come along.
793
00:45:23,800 --> 00:45:24,800
I...
794
00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:31,000
I think that was less than five minutes.
795
00:45:36,800 --> 00:45:38,200
[gasps]
796
00:45:43,240 --> 00:45:44,240
[sighs]
797
00:45:47,400 --> 00:45:49,400
[birds chirping]
798
00:45:50,520 --> 00:45:52,760
- [dishes clattering]
- [water running, splashing]
799
00:45:56,720 --> 00:45:57,760
[faucet creaks]
800
00:46:24,680 --> 00:46:25,920
[line ringing]
801
00:46:28,360 --> 00:46:29,360
[Freddie] Hello.
802
00:46:29,360 --> 00:46:31,400
Freddie, it's Lizzie.
803
00:46:31,400 --> 00:46:32,560
Oh.
804
00:46:33,800 --> 00:46:35,800
- Hello.
- [Valerie] Get out of the way.
805
00:46:35,800 --> 00:46:38,160
- [Valerie speaks indistinctly]
- I was just thinking about you.
806
00:46:39,560 --> 00:46:42,280
[whimpers] Really?
807
00:46:43,280 --> 00:46:44,360
[Freddie] Yes.
808
00:46:44,360 --> 00:46:45,960
If that's not too forward.
809
00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:47,280
Not forward at all.
810
00:46:47,280 --> 00:46:48,360
[whimpers]
811
00:46:48,360 --> 00:46:51,240
I was calling to see if you'd still like
to take me for lunch one day.
812
00:46:52,480 --> 00:46:54,480
- Oh.
- [Valerie] The orange tropical one.
813
00:46:54,480 --> 00:46:56,920
Yes. That one. Yeah, put it over there.
814
00:46:57,440 --> 00:46:59,600
- Sharon, what are you doing?
- Yes.
815
00:46:59,600 --> 00:47:01,160
Yes, absolutely.
816
00:47:01,840 --> 00:47:03,840
- But only if you're sure.
- I am.
817
00:47:04,640 --> 00:47:08,520
And maybe book somewhere with rooms?
818
00:47:09,600 --> 00:47:10,600
Okay.
819
00:47:11,600 --> 00:47:13,360
- [Valerie] Put them down.
- [phone beeps]
820
00:47:13,360 --> 00:47:16,240
- You can't just-- [speaking indistinctly]
- [chuckles]
821
00:47:18,840 --> 00:47:19,840
[chuckles]
822
00:47:42,680 --> 00:47:44,680
[birds chirping]
823
00:47:50,720 --> 00:47:51,960
- [lock clicks]
- [door opens]
824
00:47:51,960 --> 00:47:52,920
[Tony] Cameron.
825
00:47:54,880 --> 00:47:57,040
- In here. [clears throat]
- [door closes]
826
00:47:57,040 --> 00:47:58,360
It's Sunday. Are you okay?
827
00:47:58,960 --> 00:48:00,120
I needed to see you.
828
00:48:01,320 --> 00:48:04,320
[bell tolls in distance]
829
00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:07,280
Open it.
830
00:48:10,320 --> 00:48:11,920
[sighs]
831
00:48:17,280 --> 00:48:22,080
If we win the franchise,
I'll turn that into an engagement ring.
832
00:48:22,080 --> 00:48:25,640
Okay. You just commissioned
a show called How To Stay Married.
833
00:48:25,640 --> 00:48:28,320
As you said, it's a great
concept with the right person.
834
00:48:30,600 --> 00:48:32,240
I never want to lose you.
835
00:48:36,240 --> 00:48:39,880
So, when we win,
I say we make it official and get married.
836
00:48:48,520 --> 00:48:49,720
What do you think?
837
00:48:53,280 --> 00:48:54,160
[sighs]
838
00:49:01,480 --> 00:49:02,880
[ticking]
839
00:49:02,880 --> 00:49:06,960
[chattering]
840
00:49:09,720 --> 00:49:10,800
[dog pants, whines]
841
00:49:12,840 --> 00:49:14,960
Rupert, we need to start.
842
00:49:16,880 --> 00:49:18,520
- [Gerald] Good to see you.
- You too.
843
00:49:18,520 --> 00:49:22,840
Uh... [stammers] ...I'm expected
at the Mothers for Christ tea at 5:00.
844
00:49:23,360 --> 00:49:24,760
Right. [clears throat]
845
00:49:24,760 --> 00:49:30,560
Well, I've got good news and,
uh, other news.
846
00:49:31,080 --> 00:49:35,480
Uh, I put Penscombe up as collateral,
secured a £7 million loan.
847
00:49:35,480 --> 00:49:38,440
So, added to your stakes, should we win,
we're covered for our first two years.
848
00:49:38,440 --> 00:49:39,360
[Charles chuckles]
849
00:49:39,360 --> 00:49:41,960
- Oh, wow.
- [Freddie] Bloody brilliant!
850
00:49:41,960 --> 00:49:44,920
But you...
you put your house up as collateral?
851
00:49:46,240 --> 00:49:47,440
I'm all in.
852
00:49:48,000 --> 00:49:50,200
- Christ.
- And the other news?
853
00:49:52,640 --> 00:49:54,720
I offered Cameron Cook
controller of programmes.
854
00:49:54,720 --> 00:49:58,440
- [Charles gasps]
- I say, i-is that the Black woman?
855
00:49:58,440 --> 00:49:59,960
Shh. Inappropriate.
856
00:49:59,960 --> 00:50:01,560
You've gone mad, Rupert.
857
00:50:01,560 --> 00:50:06,440
And I gave her our application,
so she can see what's on offer.
858
00:50:06,440 --> 00:50:07,640
I'm sorry. You did what?
859
00:50:07,640 --> 00:50:09,480
- Why would you do that?
- What the fuck?
860
00:50:09,480 --> 00:50:10,520
What did she say?
861
00:50:11,600 --> 00:50:12,440
She didn't.
862
00:50:12,440 --> 00:50:17,480
Um, but I told her if she was in,
to be here at three o'clock.
863
00:50:17,480 --> 00:50:18,960
- F--
- It's nearly half past.
864
00:50:18,960 --> 00:50:20,200
[Rupert] I wanted to secure the win.
865
00:50:20,200 --> 00:50:23,040
You hadn't found a controller of
programmes. She's Tony's only trump card.
866
00:50:23,040 --> 00:50:25,680
So you thought you'd just
give her all the other cards too?
867
00:50:25,680 --> 00:50:28,800
She gives our application to Tony,
and he will sabotage all our plans.
868
00:50:28,800 --> 00:50:30,520
She won't do that. She's fucking amazing.
869
00:50:30,520 --> 00:50:32,160
- We need her.
- You do, you mean.
870
00:50:32,720 --> 00:50:34,400
- On her back.
- Fuck off, Bas.
871
00:50:34,400 --> 00:50:37,280
[Charles] I joined this consortium
to get away from bullies like her.
872
00:50:37,280 --> 00:50:39,120
Now, I have to put up
with her when we win.
873
00:50:39,120 --> 00:50:40,160
[Declan] Fortunately, no,
874
00:50:40,160 --> 00:50:43,200
because that treacherous bitch
clearly isn't coming.
875
00:50:43,200 --> 00:50:46,000
[clears throat]
That's where you're wrong, Declan.
876
00:50:46,720 --> 00:50:49,600
The treacherous bitch is here,
and she's come to join your side.
877
00:50:51,680 --> 00:50:53,080
- [gasps]
- [gasps]
878
00:50:54,960 --> 00:50:56,640
You absolute beauty.
879
00:51:00,600 --> 00:51:03,160
Your creative vision
for Venturer is dazzling.
880
00:51:03,160 --> 00:51:05,440
- Look, I'm totally won over.
- Sorry, Bas.
881
00:51:05,440 --> 00:51:07,280
[Cameron] But I can make
that vision a reality.
882
00:51:07,280 --> 00:51:08,880
You expect me to trust you?
883
00:51:09,560 --> 00:51:10,720
You'll be taking a risk.
884
00:51:11,840 --> 00:51:14,480
But you've seen how far I'll go
for something I believe in.
885
00:51:14,480 --> 00:51:16,760
Surely it's a risk worth taking.
886
00:51:30,640 --> 00:51:32,560
[applauding]
887
00:51:32,560 --> 00:51:37,400
[Rupert] To Venturer's new
controller of programmes.
888
00:51:39,360 --> 00:51:40,200
Cameron Cook.
889
00:51:40,200 --> 00:51:41,600
- [Gerald] Cheers.
- [Freddie] Cameron Cook.
890
00:51:41,600 --> 00:51:43,480
- To Cameron Cook.
- Cameron Cook!
891
00:51:43,480 --> 00:51:44,720
- [applauding]
- [Maud] Fucking stupid.
892
00:51:46,160 --> 00:51:48,520
[Rupert] Right, let's get Cameron
up to speed, shall we? So...
893
00:51:48,520 --> 00:51:51,600
- [chattering in distance]
- [whimpering, sniffling]
894
00:51:52,240 --> 00:51:56,240
- [laughing in distance]
- [sniffles, sighs]
895
00:52:01,360 --> 00:52:02,760
[sighs]
896
00:52:02,760 --> 00:52:04,960
- [footsteps approaching]
- [sniffles]
897
00:52:05,680 --> 00:52:06,680
[cries]
898
00:52:15,160 --> 00:52:16,200
You okay?
899
00:52:18,120 --> 00:52:19,840
[sighs, clicks tongue]
900
00:52:20,760 --> 00:52:23,480
Declan will have his fucking franchise.
901
00:52:24,440 --> 00:52:26,520
What will I have? [breathes shakily]
902
00:52:27,880 --> 00:52:30,000
- Hey.
- [cries]
903
00:52:32,200 --> 00:52:35,200
Shh. Mmm?
904
00:52:36,160 --> 00:52:37,160
Come on.
905
00:52:43,000 --> 00:52:44,800
[Rupert] So, shall I see you later?
906
00:52:44,800 --> 00:52:49,680
Finalise the finer points
of our relationship?
907
00:52:50,840 --> 00:52:51,920
Sounds perfect.
908
00:53:04,440 --> 00:53:05,360
[both chuckle]
909
00:53:08,520 --> 00:53:10,080
{\an8}[engine starts]
910
00:53:19,400 --> 00:53:21,120
Do you really think you can trust her?
911
00:53:23,760 --> 00:53:24,760
I don't know.
912
00:53:46,040 --> 00:53:47,040
[sighs]
913
00:53:49,440 --> 00:53:51,400
- [dog barks]
- What's his name?
914
00:53:51,400 --> 00:53:53,880
- Well, I thought Siegfried.
- [laughing] No, no.
915
00:53:53,880 --> 00:53:55,120
[Tony] Siegfried it is.
916
00:53:55,120 --> 00:53:56,280
- [Archie] Oh, hello.
- Mmm.
917
00:53:56,840 --> 00:53:58,240
[Tony] Oh, give me five minutes.
918
00:53:58,240 --> 00:54:00,120
- [Archie speaks indistinctly]
- [Siegfried barks]
919
00:54:03,720 --> 00:54:05,360
We need to up our surveillance.
920
00:54:07,280 --> 00:54:10,160
We've tapped all the internal phones,
and we're opening their post.
921
00:54:11,240 --> 00:54:13,880
I was thinking more personal surveillance.
922
00:54:16,400 --> 00:54:17,480
[Ginger] On everyone?
923
00:54:20,280 --> 00:54:22,080
Absolutely. Everyone.
924
00:54:32,200 --> 00:54:34,200
[Monica] Siegfried. Siegfried.
Come on, lad.
925
00:54:34,200 --> 00:54:35,440
[Monica clapping]
926
00:54:35,440 --> 00:54:36,520
There's a good boy.
927
00:54:36,520 --> 00:54:38,400
