Love and Marriage (2013) s01e01 Episode Script
Episode 1
1 Breakfast's nearly ready.
I'm running late.
So I will love .
.
and leave you.
Ken, could you help Frank to the table, please? Ken! Here, Dad, are you looking smart? Either that, or I'm an illusion.
Whoa! Wish me luck.
What for? Doesn't matter.
Have we had the perfect marriage? Yes.
Yes.
We've been happy, haven't we? Like, when the kids were young, and my kitchen was full of them, Christmases, holidays A real sign of a good marriage is what kind of marriages your kids have got, and they're all good and happy, aren't they, Ken? Mm? Are you still with us? Perfect.
A perfect marriage doesn't have secrets.
It has trust.
It has honesty.
And, well, I know that if I'm ever in trouble, there is a man that I can turn to.
You can develop on that thought a little bit if you like, Kevin.
Yeah, and I also know that there's a woman in my life I can turn to.
We've got me covering film, cos you know I love my DVDs.
Kev - Mum's covering food and drink - Kev.
What am I? You are back-up sport and anything to do with The Simpsons.
Would you get Abby? Stop faffing.
Have you sent the cheque for the rugby tour? All paid.
All done.
Abby, if you're not out of bed, I'm gonna come up there and goose you.
Kev, can I go shopping later, get something for the christening? Kev? I swear I will goose you.
You're so inappropriate.
So inappropriate.
You are the music and reality TV expert on the quiz team tonight, lollipop.
Mwah.
Whatever.
Huge weekend for the Paradise family cos, tonight, we are going to win the quiz down the club.
As opposed to second, like last year, to Gary Twatface - Sssh! .
.
and his band of merry men.
How much is the first prize? £100.
It's going to Nathan's tour and, tomorrow, is baby Bridget's coming out party.
Yes it is.
Who's coming out? She's being christened, Dad.
Yeah? What? Oh, no! One thing we've learned, well, from my mum and dad really, is that kids cement a marriage.
Don't they? Yeah.
They are the glue that holds us together.
Yeah and we met at uni and we decided there and then that we wanted a big family.
We did.
Martin's a primary school teacher and he loves kids anyway.
Yeah.
We just thought that er, kids would give us purpose and joy and Can you all just get off me, please? Good morning.
Good morning, Miss Paradise.
It's a cold one, innit? It is.
Mum, this is an emergency.
What is it? Martin just rang up with a disaster, Mum.
Will you listen, please? I'm sorry, I can't go on.
There's an emergency with my son's family.
Still there? That brother of mine promised that he was gonna get two boffins from his school for the quiz tonight, now he says they're pulling out.
So neither Martin nor any of his children are dead or dying? How would I know? He never tells me anything.
He just lets me down.
Is Dad free tonight? I need him to cover history.
Your dad doesn't know the first thing about history.
No, but he's 60 and he's got a memory, so that's 60 years - which is more than I can do.
Hey, you two! Charlie! Heather and Charlie are covering solar systems and black holes - No, Heather is helping me with the christening food for tomorrow.
Just make sure he's free, Mum.
Charlie, don't worry about work, swot up on the universe.
You want me to pull a sicky for your quiz? Yeah, that's the idea - pull a sicky.
And, Heather, don't go! What? Don't Go get yourself a globe.
Heather! Charlie.
How you doing, boss.
All right? All right.
How are you? How are you doing? Good.
How are you doing? All right, yeah.
Sorry.
Accident.
We met six years ago, when I was covering a match at her football club.
As well as being in the fire service, he does this little radio sports thing in the evening.
And I walked into the office.
And I said, 'Hello.
' And he said, 'Hello, I'm Charlie.
' It was like that film.
What's it called? Kev'd tell us.
But it was like that line in that film where she says, 'You complete me.
' Now, children, one of our workers is retiring today.
Mrs Paradise.
Sorry.
Now, children, I'm sure you'd all like to know what we've got Mrs Paradise.
It's a teacup, a pair of secateurs and a hammock.
Sorry to spoilt it, Mrs Paradise.
Because when grandmas - like Mrs Paradise - retire, children, not only do they love spending time with their husbands but, as I'm sure you've all observed, they suddenly become obsessed with gardening.
So after a good prune of her hedge, Mrs P can string the hammock between two sturdy oaks and quietly go to sleep.
Which is lovely.
Thank you, Headmaster.
Thank you.
Mrs Paradise? Oh.
Pauline, er, I hope you don't mind.
I've got a little present for you, as well.
Just to say goodbye and good luck.
Thank you, Mr Bachman.
It's a book.
Hope you don't mind.
No, don't mind at all that it's a book.
I bet your husband made a fuss of you this morning, eh? No.
Ah.
I remember when I changed school with my wife my late wife, she made me a special breakfast.
Oh, right.
Well, I said no, but I meant of course, he did.
I'll miss you, Mrs Paradise.
Well, we all will.
Thank you.
I think a trifle.
I think a cheesecake.
That thing with the biscuit that kids love.
I think two of your trifles, actually.
Hang on a second, Heather.
And you said you're doing the chicken pieces in red wine? Well, it's easy.
It's just a Jamie Oliver recipe.
You just bung everything in the pot and hope for the best.
Well, with that, cheesy potatoes, couple of greens, quiche, cauliflower cheese, and then a selection of your nibbles for when people arrive.
I thought I was helping you with Kevin's christening, H.
I didn't think it was the other way round.
Oh, Mum, I won't be able to get to Auntie Rowan's to do the delivery of the booze, but you can do that, can't you? I love you.
I'm gonna need two trolleys.
I hate to interrupt the hard work, lads, but here's an idea: bring the wine in.
We haven't been paid, love.
Hi.
Why didn't you answer the door to the wine people? They said there was no-one in.
I thought someone else was going to get it.
And, Scarlett, why didn't you answer the door? Anyway, your Heather said she was going to come round.
You were in bed.
That's why you didn't answer it.
I was not.
Your boyfriend's car's outside, Rowan.
Well, he just popped round and .
.
well, what of it, darling? What of it? You said you'd host this thing for Kevin's baby and there are bills to pay, Ro.
The men said Kevin's cheque has bounced and you're not gonna deal with it, because you and Mr Speedy Wheels can't be arsed to get out of bed.
It's 11:30 on a Friday, Rowan.
You spend your life in endless pursuit of yourself.
Let me tell you, it's not much of a goal.
Are you feeling better now? Marginally.
Hi, Paul.
Hi, Tommy.
How's your wife? Yeah, she's fine, thank you.
What's up with mopey britches? Jake's dumped her.
Oh, Scarlett.
What did the chump do that for? He didn't give a reason, did he, love? And he did it on Twitter.
No, he didn't, Gran.
She became history in 140 characters.
It was just sex.
Wasn't it, Tom? She thought it was love, but it wasn't.
Why are you talking like Les Dawson? It was just the hot love of a 17-year-old.
Ow! Tommy! No marriage is perfect, is it? Well, yours isn't.
It's all right, thank you.
But Pauline's marriage is a disaster zone.
I'll tell you why.
Silent Ken.
She should have married someone else.
Who? John Goddard who was gorgeous and who never turned up to my 18th birthday party, when he said he was going to.
John Goddard? Or God, as all the girls tended to call him.
Why did they call him that, then? Dad? What are you doing? They played this the day your mum and I got married.
I know.
It's our anniversary, today.
Oh, no.
And I thought it would be a nice way to go, lying here, rather than waiting for insanity, and the constant dribbling from the lips that inevitably awaits.
You don't wanna die like this, Dad.
You'll have a terrible back in the morning.
Did you wear this suit when you got married? The older I get, the better it seems to fit me now.
I still miss her.
I know.
I never regretted marrying her, Paul.
Not for a moment.
What have you got there? Oh.
Just a book.
Ken? Huh? Kevin needs you for his quiz down the club, tonight.
Oh.
It'd be great if you'd keep an eye on Dad when I'm out.
Why? Well, maybe I'd like to relax when I'm out.
Down a spa? No, not down a spa.
Like your flipping sister.
We bought the house we still live in off my dad, when we got married.
We actually met there, didn't we? Mmm.
At my sister's 18th.
Because this grease monkey got invited along, because he was doing his apprenticeship with a good-looking fella that Rowan had her eye on.
And someone had a camera and was taking photos.
Do you remember this? Of course.
And on the settee, Clive had Jean on his knee, David had Rowan - which she was very pleased about - and he had no-one.
He was sitting there like a gooseberry, so he just reached up, grabbed my arm, and plonked me on his knee for the photo.
And that photo still exists.
Not many people can say that, I think, that a photo exists of the very second you met the man you were going to spend the rest of your life with.
I retired today.
Pass us that wrench, will you? Charlie! Charlie? See you later.
We have five minutes before I have to be at Flamenco and you have to be at the quiz.
What am I looking at here? There, it's a line.
That means I'm ovulating, Charlie.
We've got to do it now.
You're not ovulating until Sunday, and there is no line.
There is a blue line.
We can't go home, there's not enough time.
In the loo.
Heather.
Get back in.
No.
No.
There is no line and I need five minutes to warm up anyway, you know what I'm like, I need music, and dancing, and beers.
Heather, Heather - Fine, Charlie, it's fine.
Heather! Heather! Snap.
Snap.
Two and Are these snap? Snap! That's nine-nil to me.
And we wonder where Kevin gets his competitiveness from.
Snap.
Yeah, all right, Twatface.
Yeah, we got a T-shirt too, this year.
They're not a team, they're a bunch of strangers who meet once a year.
Yeah.
At least we're a family.
Round one is food and drink.
Sarah.
I'm not the only one who eats.
Are we ready over there? Can I just say that I love everyone here? As the founder of the Olympic Games - Baron Pierre de Coubertin - said, 'It's not the winning, but the taking part that counts.
' Right.
Bugger him.
Let's win the £100! What are the ingredients of a - If you're gonna behave like that, sit on another table.
What's that? We missed the question.
Can we have the question again? No, once only, you had your chance.
Didn't hear it, sir.
In the lead at half-time is the Pontypool Front Row, which I imagine is the team containing Tracy and Jenny Barnett.
White wine spritzer, two halves and how many Guinness? Three.
Three more after that, Julie.
OK.
Kevin, we've had a problem with the cheque for Nathan's trip to France.
Don't worry.
It's the bank.
I've been on at them, sorting it out.
Wednesday next week, or his place will go to one of the other lads.
He's our star fly-half, Alex.
We're not gonna leave him at home.
Wednesday.
How's Kev, Sarah? Oh, he's beside himself.
Only eight points behind and you have already played your Joker.
How is he about work? The redundancy letters have been going out.
Oh, yeah, Kev said he wasn't affected.
We didn't get a letter.
Oh.
'Do not go gentle into that good night' 'Old age should burn and rave at close of day.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
' Who was the last actor to play Batman before Christian Bale? George Clooney.
Who directed Dog Day Afternoon? Sidney Lumet.
Fantastic, Kev.
What is the name of Nemo's father in Finding Nemo? How is anyone expected to know that? Marlon.
Brilliant.
I apologise for ever telling you to turn the television off, ever.
Keep it on at all times now, even when you're out.
And, finally Come on, Kevin.
Even your dad's getting into it now - Sssh! Last question.
For which 2005 film did Rachel Weisz win an Oscar? I know this.
Write it down.
It's on the tip of my tongue.
Stick your tongue out, we'll read it.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
The Incontinent Gardener.
I don't think that's right.
I'm the captain and I've written it down.
That's not what it's called.
How do you know? No-one'd see it.
Who's gonna see a film about an incontinent gardener? I think Martin's right.
I've written it now.
Wait, Kevin! Are you sure? Don't! Kev! Are you sure? Aaaaah! Is no-one gonna tell me what happened? Constant Gardener.
CONSTANT.
We lost by a point.
Tomorrow, find yourself another godfather for your daughter, cos I don't wanna do it any more.
Martin.
I don't want to, Mum.
Not if she's as dozy as her dad.
If it wasn't for me, we wouldn't have come close.
He's right, Martin.
If it wasn't for me, we wouldn't have entered.
If it weren't for you, we could've had a night in front of the telly, instead of going through all this.
Dad, it was a fundraiser for Nathan's trip to France.
If it weren't for you, Nathan wouldn't exist, and we wouldn't have even heard of the fundraiser.
Why am I to blame for everything? Mum? You're behaving like children.
And will you stop eating the quiche? Delicious, that.
Can I have a plate, Grandma? It's for tomorrow.
You can make another one.
Get some plates, Martin.
Give me a knife, you're just hacking at it.
Martin, can you get the mayo? Anybody else want quiche? Right, who wants a plate? It's OK.
Are you ready to renounce the devil? I am.
Let's have a look at her.
Belle of the ball.
Oh, look at that! Did you knit that, Sare? Yeah, I did.
That is sweet.
It's sweet.
Look at his hat.
Where's the fire? Where's the fire? Give her back, come on.
Look there! Yay! Are these two of yours, Martin? They are.
Have you had any more, since I last saw you? Yes, we've had another 72, since Wednesday, Grandad! Good man.
Oh, come on.
I hope you're going to behave yourself today, Dad.
Oh.
Mind the step.
Yeah.
Ooh.
In there.
All things bright and beautiful All creatures great and small All things wise and wonderful The Lord God made them all Each little flower that opens Daisy, Daisy! Give me your answer do Each little bird that sings I'm half crazy He made their glowing colours All for the love of you He made their tiny wings It won't be a stylish marriage I can't afford a carriage All things bright and beautiful Dad! # You'll look seat upon the seat Of a bicycle for two-oo-ooo The Lord God made them all Welcome and what a pleasure it is to minister at another occasion in the life of the Holdaway-Paradise family.
I believe all of you down the years have either been married in this church, or christened in this font.
Frank, I believe, was christened here over 90 years ago.
Pauline and Rowan, 60 years ago now and, of course, Pauline's children Kevin, Heather, Martin, all of you here today.
And Rowan's daughter Emma.
Emma.
Nearly 100 years of life in this holy place.
Name this child.
Bridget Beyonce Paradise.
- One, two, three! - Cheese! Let's see her, Kev! Yeah, hold her up, Kevin, like in Roots.
I can't believe he forgot my mum's name.
Yes, he won't be in the job much longer.
We'll send the boys round.
I don't even know if she's alive.
You know, I don't think she is, Scarlett, the place she was in.
I think she left you with me out of love, because she knew she couldn't cope wi- Shut up! You know what really hurt, about Jake finishing with me.
Not being able to see his mum and dad again, and they were a proper mum and dad.
Do you need a hand in the kitchen, Auntie Rowan? I'll send Abby in.
Hey! Pull it taut, come on.
Hey, I'm going first.
Off! Steady, Tonto! How do you do it, then? Da-dah! You're drawing again.
Yeah.
Your mum used to draw, when she was tiny, she used to come and stay.
She'd draw me meadows full of wild flowers.
I had a whole box of 'em.
Oh, dear, dear, dear.
That's it, love.
Will you help me find my mum, Grandpa Frank? How much did the rugby club make last night, Gary? Over five grand.
That's fantastic.
Yeah, but they reckon one of the bar staff nicked a bundle.
Do they know who? They reckon that Julie girl.
No, Julie's all right.
She's a nice girl.
I like her.
Come on, Kev.
I don't feel that well, Gary.
Do you mind if we stop? I'll get a drink, hang on.
Get us a beer, Kev! Yeah, I'll get you a beer.
Can I visit the bank of Mum and Dad? You haven't paid back the last two loans, yet, Kevin.
Which two? Not that it's a big thing.
Well, if it's not a big thing, then it's not a big thing.
How much? Don't tell Sarah, but I'm about 600 short for Nathan's trip to France.
I'll pay you back, I promise, it's just my cards are maxed up.
You shouldn't have cards.
Send me to my room without any tea, cos I do.
I haven't got much more than that.
And why can't I mention this to Sarah? Do you tell her about the other amounts you borrowed? Course I do.
You shouldn't keep secrets, Kevin.
I'll talk to your dad.
I need it now, Mum.
I know it's a big ask, but he's a talented kid, isn't he? He'll earn a fortune as a rugby player, and he's handsome too.
He'll get endorsements, you know, Gavin Henson.
He'll be in magazines.
He's a great kid, Mum.
You know that.
Here you are, look, I've got one.
Ta.
The truth is, secrets are the beginning of the end, really.
That's what we've always told our kids.
They're like dry rot in a house.
They're hidden away but, give it 30 years, and the whole thing will cave in.
Erm What's the secret of a long marriage? Not getting divorced.
It's like being married to Einstein! I'm ovulating.
Hooray! Was that sarcastic? I don't need to know every month, do I, H? I hope it works out for you, but - I don't need you to be sarcastic.
Mum, I need you there for me.
Cos, the more this goes on, the more I think he's not there for me.
Listen up, everyone.
Everyone! Thanks for coming, everybody.
Today is not about anyone, except this little person here.
I feel she's really lucky, to have the people here, to set her on her way.
Can I just say - Oh, God.
Here we go.
Can I just say: I love everyone here? I love everyone.
My family.
The rugby club, which is family.
The fireman family - The Royal family! The Manson family! Them too, they're all lovely people but just just thanks for making this a very special day for me and Sarah.
Grandpa Frank? Grandpa Frank! See you there.
I first saw her at church, and I knew she'd clocked me, because I was as handsome as Denis Compton, back then.
But we didn't get the courage to speak to one another for nearly 18 months.
Every Sunday, I'd go back to church hoping to see her and through the week and through the week, all I could think about was whether I'd ever see that beautiful girl again.
Coming up to midnight, we've got 10 minutes on whether the Sky Blues should cut their losses and get in someone new.
This next one is for Frank and it's from me.
Maybe Grandpa going is a sign.
Maybe he was making room for one more.
If we conceive this month and it's a boy, we could call him Frank.
After Lampard.
Sare? Thanks for staying up.
Are you all right? When did this arrive? When I looked in your jacket for some money.
Not tonight, Sare, I've just - Yes, tonight.
You have got to be straight with me.
You can't hide things from me, or yourself.
'We thank you for your 13 years of valuable service,' and they're offering you a new position, as 'a retained firefighter'.
What does that mean? Two nights a week, buffing the engine and a couple of call-outs.
So you need another job.
We'll still get the wage for a bit.
The union's got a good deal.
So you need another job.
But what? You're going to bounce back, Kev, that's what.
Plenty of time for more rugby coaching.
Which won't pay.
No.
Well, you'll just have to just I don't know what you're gonna do, to bring money in.
I thought you'd be a fireman forever.
Beautician? Oh.
We'll be OK.
You are a big, brave man with a winning smile.
You've just got to stop all this letter-hiding, cowardly crap.
Be honest about things.
It'll be OK.
Hm? Yeah.
'Do not go gentle into that good night.
Old age should burn and rave at close of day.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
' Ken? Mm? Can I come to you? What? What do you mean? You know what I mean.
Are you serious? Yes.
You're not serious.
What? What do you mean, 'What'? Looking at me, like that.
Go to sleep.
Oi! Turn it off.
I want to ask you a question, Ken.
Ken? KEN! What? Does life just pass you by? Significant things happen in my life and I notice.
My father dies.
The man you've lived with for 11 years dies, and does it have no repercussion in your world? Do you not notice? Does it make any difference to you, that your father-in-law dies? That your grandchild was christened? That your wife retires from her job? Do you not notice?! Can't you speak to me? Does what happens to me affect you in any way, Ken? Daddy? Yes, darling? Is Grandpa Frank in heaven? Well Heaven probably isn't real, Caitlin, so Grandpa Frank just doesn't exist any more.
Kids, come here.
No, no, I think what Daddy was trying to say is yes.
Yes, he's in heaven and he's with Jesus and he's having a really, really lovely time.
Budge up.
Hello? What's this poem about, then? Mr Bachman? Mrs Paradise, it's two o'clock in the morning.
Well, are you up for a conversation, or not? Yea Yes.
This poem.
I read it and it sent chills down my spine.
Yeah? What are you doing? I'm trying to find my spectacles.
Why, you can't see me? No.
No, that's right.
What does it mean? 'Do not go gentle into that good night'? Well, it-it's about keeping going, Mrs Paradise.
And why did you give it to me? I gave it as an antidote to the hammock and the secateurs .
.
cos they imply drifting away, and I thought it was wrong that that was the only message that someone like you had.
And I know what it's like.
When my wife died, I had to stop myself from doing it.
From drifting away.
Shit.
Shit.
He didn't wear his hair forward, like this.
Pauline? Can I do the eulogy at the funeral, Pauline? Well, I was thinking Martin, maybe.
No, it should be one of us.
It should be me doing something for him, for once.
And will you do something for me, too? Can I come and live with you, after the funeral? I don't want to live in that house any more, or with Ken.
Pauline! No, I'm going to say to Ken, 'You've been an OK husband.
It's not been great, but you've been OK.
Children are OK.
The house, it's all been fine in its way.
And, at times, I've enjoyed it so, thanks and everything, but I'm going to do something else now.
' I want to come and live in one of your seven bedrooms and be a servant to no-one.
Have you thought it through? I don't want to think it through.
When I think things through, they end up not happening.
Like in the '70s, when I thought it through about whether I should train to be a teacher.
I let Ken and Dad 'think' me out of it.
You never thought about anything twice, did you? You'd have been a good teacher.
You had the kind of life where you were part of something.
You worked as a model in the '70s, for Christ's sake.
You were a free spirit.
You were great.
You were beautiful.
You were free.
It wasn't all that exciting, Paul.
Well, it looked it.
And, then, after all those boyfriends, you get married four times, or whatever.
Three, darling.
And then you hook up with a married man, which is as good as a fourth.
Your life had chapters, Rowan.
I've slept with one man, my whole life.
One.
And I don't even know if he's any good at it.
I've nothing to compare it to.
Can we not talk about this in front of our dead dad? I should have been a car.
If I'd have been a car, he might have gone under my bonnet more often.
We're not having this conversation.
Have you finished? So can I come? Just till I'm sorted? Of course.
I have a list here of things I will always remember about Frank.
Things I love.
From the immense love he had for us all to how he came home drunk from the work do, one Christmas, and tried to paint the Christmas tree yellow.
About how he and Mum had such a good marriage.
Were constant.
Constant gardeners, like in that title of that Ralph Fiennes movie.
Always gardening the world for their children.
Thank you for being my dad, Frank.
And Pauline's.
Thanks, Tommy.
Mum, the rugby club Lovely speech, Rowan.
Auntie Rowan.
Auntie Rowan, sorry.
Mum, the rugby club have said your cheque's bounced.
Yes.
I cancelled it.
No, you don't understand, Mum.
The cheque's bounced.
I need the money.
Why? What are you going to spend it on? Me.
No, you don't understand, the cheque's bounced, and this is his chance to tour France, Mum - Kevin! Dad, can you have a word with Mum? She's reneging all over the place.
You talk to her.
I have talked to her.
All she said was, 'Kevin! Kevin!' like she was an alien.
As if the word 'Kevin' was new to her, and she wasn't pleased about it.
Where are you going? Garage.
Garage? Don't grieve alone.
What are you doing in here? The buffet must be in the front room.
There's nothing laid out in there.
What? Is this the right house? Mum? It's the right house, but I don't know what you're all doing here.
It's Grandpa's wake, isn't it? I didn't say I was going to hold one.
No, but, why not? Why the suitcases, Mum? Where's your dad? He's in the garage, grieving by himself.
Mum? I've told your dad I'm leaving him.
What? Now? Right, come on, out.
I'm leaving today, yes.
I said goodbye to my dad.
I've said goodbye to my husband.
And now I'm saying goodbye to you.
I'm not going to be a daughter, or a wife, or a mum any more.
I'm going.
Where are you going? Rowan's.
Well, you're not going far, then.
Why are you doing this? Because I really want to.
What did Dad say? Your dad never says anything.
Charlie, I'd appreciate it if you would drive me to Rowan's.
You all have each other now.
You're all married, you're all fine.
You don't need me any more.
And I knew you would've expected me to do today .
.
but it was my dad who died.
Well, we need some food.
Whatever that was all about, it's still the day to say goodbye to Frank.
Shall we go after her? No.
We'll give her some time.
Lemon curd.
Is there any bread? And, Sare, what's she got in the fridge for us to drink? Kev! That is good.
How could she do that to us? Does Auntie Rowan's speech mean nothing to her? The Incontinent - Constant.
The constant.
All that gardening.
Her and Dad are the glue that holds us together.
That moment when they met on the sofa - that's where we all came from.
You can't blame her, Kevin.
I can.
That marriage is there to look out for us, to clothe our back, to lend us money to - Ooh, has she ever lent you money? No.
Kevin! No, she hasn't.
She hasn't.
The competitors in tonight's heat of Strictly Come Cov are - Louise Anderson? - She is exactly his type.
Did you get my text? I did, yeah.
Maybe there's something new out there that might be better for me.
Let's go, Pauline.
You're on a date! What's it to you, if I'm on a date? I am with a man who knows how to give a woman a good time.
Do you really think something happened? I don't know.
You see, if it's not her now, it's gonna be someone at some point.
I'm running late.
So I will love .
.
and leave you.
Ken, could you help Frank to the table, please? Ken! Here, Dad, are you looking smart? Either that, or I'm an illusion.
Whoa! Wish me luck.
What for? Doesn't matter.
Have we had the perfect marriage? Yes.
Yes.
We've been happy, haven't we? Like, when the kids were young, and my kitchen was full of them, Christmases, holidays A real sign of a good marriage is what kind of marriages your kids have got, and they're all good and happy, aren't they, Ken? Mm? Are you still with us? Perfect.
A perfect marriage doesn't have secrets.
It has trust.
It has honesty.
And, well, I know that if I'm ever in trouble, there is a man that I can turn to.
You can develop on that thought a little bit if you like, Kevin.
Yeah, and I also know that there's a woman in my life I can turn to.
We've got me covering film, cos you know I love my DVDs.
Kev - Mum's covering food and drink - Kev.
What am I? You are back-up sport and anything to do with The Simpsons.
Would you get Abby? Stop faffing.
Have you sent the cheque for the rugby tour? All paid.
All done.
Abby, if you're not out of bed, I'm gonna come up there and goose you.
Kev, can I go shopping later, get something for the christening? Kev? I swear I will goose you.
You're so inappropriate.
So inappropriate.
You are the music and reality TV expert on the quiz team tonight, lollipop.
Mwah.
Whatever.
Huge weekend for the Paradise family cos, tonight, we are going to win the quiz down the club.
As opposed to second, like last year, to Gary Twatface - Sssh! .
.
and his band of merry men.
How much is the first prize? £100.
It's going to Nathan's tour and, tomorrow, is baby Bridget's coming out party.
Yes it is.
Who's coming out? She's being christened, Dad.
Yeah? What? Oh, no! One thing we've learned, well, from my mum and dad really, is that kids cement a marriage.
Don't they? Yeah.
They are the glue that holds us together.
Yeah and we met at uni and we decided there and then that we wanted a big family.
We did.
Martin's a primary school teacher and he loves kids anyway.
Yeah.
We just thought that er, kids would give us purpose and joy and Can you all just get off me, please? Good morning.
Good morning, Miss Paradise.
It's a cold one, innit? It is.
Mum, this is an emergency.
What is it? Martin just rang up with a disaster, Mum.
Will you listen, please? I'm sorry, I can't go on.
There's an emergency with my son's family.
Still there? That brother of mine promised that he was gonna get two boffins from his school for the quiz tonight, now he says they're pulling out.
So neither Martin nor any of his children are dead or dying? How would I know? He never tells me anything.
He just lets me down.
Is Dad free tonight? I need him to cover history.
Your dad doesn't know the first thing about history.
No, but he's 60 and he's got a memory, so that's 60 years - which is more than I can do.
Hey, you two! Charlie! Heather and Charlie are covering solar systems and black holes - No, Heather is helping me with the christening food for tomorrow.
Just make sure he's free, Mum.
Charlie, don't worry about work, swot up on the universe.
You want me to pull a sicky for your quiz? Yeah, that's the idea - pull a sicky.
And, Heather, don't go! What? Don't Go get yourself a globe.
Heather! Charlie.
How you doing, boss.
All right? All right.
How are you? How are you doing? Good.
How are you doing? All right, yeah.
Sorry.
Accident.
We met six years ago, when I was covering a match at her football club.
As well as being in the fire service, he does this little radio sports thing in the evening.
And I walked into the office.
And I said, 'Hello.
' And he said, 'Hello, I'm Charlie.
' It was like that film.
What's it called? Kev'd tell us.
But it was like that line in that film where she says, 'You complete me.
' Now, children, one of our workers is retiring today.
Mrs Paradise.
Sorry.
Now, children, I'm sure you'd all like to know what we've got Mrs Paradise.
It's a teacup, a pair of secateurs and a hammock.
Sorry to spoilt it, Mrs Paradise.
Because when grandmas - like Mrs Paradise - retire, children, not only do they love spending time with their husbands but, as I'm sure you've all observed, they suddenly become obsessed with gardening.
So after a good prune of her hedge, Mrs P can string the hammock between two sturdy oaks and quietly go to sleep.
Which is lovely.
Thank you, Headmaster.
Thank you.
Mrs Paradise? Oh.
Pauline, er, I hope you don't mind.
I've got a little present for you, as well.
Just to say goodbye and good luck.
Thank you, Mr Bachman.
It's a book.
Hope you don't mind.
No, don't mind at all that it's a book.
I bet your husband made a fuss of you this morning, eh? No.
Ah.
I remember when I changed school with my wife my late wife, she made me a special breakfast.
Oh, right.
Well, I said no, but I meant of course, he did.
I'll miss you, Mrs Paradise.
Well, we all will.
Thank you.
I think a trifle.
I think a cheesecake.
That thing with the biscuit that kids love.
I think two of your trifles, actually.
Hang on a second, Heather.
And you said you're doing the chicken pieces in red wine? Well, it's easy.
It's just a Jamie Oliver recipe.
You just bung everything in the pot and hope for the best.
Well, with that, cheesy potatoes, couple of greens, quiche, cauliflower cheese, and then a selection of your nibbles for when people arrive.
I thought I was helping you with Kevin's christening, H.
I didn't think it was the other way round.
Oh, Mum, I won't be able to get to Auntie Rowan's to do the delivery of the booze, but you can do that, can't you? I love you.
I'm gonna need two trolleys.
I hate to interrupt the hard work, lads, but here's an idea: bring the wine in.
We haven't been paid, love.
Hi.
Why didn't you answer the door to the wine people? They said there was no-one in.
I thought someone else was going to get it.
And, Scarlett, why didn't you answer the door? Anyway, your Heather said she was going to come round.
You were in bed.
That's why you didn't answer it.
I was not.
Your boyfriend's car's outside, Rowan.
Well, he just popped round and .
.
well, what of it, darling? What of it? You said you'd host this thing for Kevin's baby and there are bills to pay, Ro.
The men said Kevin's cheque has bounced and you're not gonna deal with it, because you and Mr Speedy Wheels can't be arsed to get out of bed.
It's 11:30 on a Friday, Rowan.
You spend your life in endless pursuit of yourself.
Let me tell you, it's not much of a goal.
Are you feeling better now? Marginally.
Hi, Paul.
Hi, Tommy.
How's your wife? Yeah, she's fine, thank you.
What's up with mopey britches? Jake's dumped her.
Oh, Scarlett.
What did the chump do that for? He didn't give a reason, did he, love? And he did it on Twitter.
No, he didn't, Gran.
She became history in 140 characters.
It was just sex.
Wasn't it, Tom? She thought it was love, but it wasn't.
Why are you talking like Les Dawson? It was just the hot love of a 17-year-old.
Ow! Tommy! No marriage is perfect, is it? Well, yours isn't.
It's all right, thank you.
But Pauline's marriage is a disaster zone.
I'll tell you why.
Silent Ken.
She should have married someone else.
Who? John Goddard who was gorgeous and who never turned up to my 18th birthday party, when he said he was going to.
John Goddard? Or God, as all the girls tended to call him.
Why did they call him that, then? Dad? What are you doing? They played this the day your mum and I got married.
I know.
It's our anniversary, today.
Oh, no.
And I thought it would be a nice way to go, lying here, rather than waiting for insanity, and the constant dribbling from the lips that inevitably awaits.
You don't wanna die like this, Dad.
You'll have a terrible back in the morning.
Did you wear this suit when you got married? The older I get, the better it seems to fit me now.
I still miss her.
I know.
I never regretted marrying her, Paul.
Not for a moment.
What have you got there? Oh.
Just a book.
Ken? Huh? Kevin needs you for his quiz down the club, tonight.
Oh.
It'd be great if you'd keep an eye on Dad when I'm out.
Why? Well, maybe I'd like to relax when I'm out.
Down a spa? No, not down a spa.
Like your flipping sister.
We bought the house we still live in off my dad, when we got married.
We actually met there, didn't we? Mmm.
At my sister's 18th.
Because this grease monkey got invited along, because he was doing his apprenticeship with a good-looking fella that Rowan had her eye on.
And someone had a camera and was taking photos.
Do you remember this? Of course.
And on the settee, Clive had Jean on his knee, David had Rowan - which she was very pleased about - and he had no-one.
He was sitting there like a gooseberry, so he just reached up, grabbed my arm, and plonked me on his knee for the photo.
And that photo still exists.
Not many people can say that, I think, that a photo exists of the very second you met the man you were going to spend the rest of your life with.
I retired today.
Pass us that wrench, will you? Charlie! Charlie? See you later.
We have five minutes before I have to be at Flamenco and you have to be at the quiz.
What am I looking at here? There, it's a line.
That means I'm ovulating, Charlie.
We've got to do it now.
You're not ovulating until Sunday, and there is no line.
There is a blue line.
We can't go home, there's not enough time.
In the loo.
Heather.
Get back in.
No.
No.
There is no line and I need five minutes to warm up anyway, you know what I'm like, I need music, and dancing, and beers.
Heather, Heather - Fine, Charlie, it's fine.
Heather! Heather! Snap.
Snap.
Two and Are these snap? Snap! That's nine-nil to me.
And we wonder where Kevin gets his competitiveness from.
Snap.
Yeah, all right, Twatface.
Yeah, we got a T-shirt too, this year.
They're not a team, they're a bunch of strangers who meet once a year.
Yeah.
At least we're a family.
Round one is food and drink.
Sarah.
I'm not the only one who eats.
Are we ready over there? Can I just say that I love everyone here? As the founder of the Olympic Games - Baron Pierre de Coubertin - said, 'It's not the winning, but the taking part that counts.
' Right.
Bugger him.
Let's win the £100! What are the ingredients of a - If you're gonna behave like that, sit on another table.
What's that? We missed the question.
Can we have the question again? No, once only, you had your chance.
Didn't hear it, sir.
In the lead at half-time is the Pontypool Front Row, which I imagine is the team containing Tracy and Jenny Barnett.
White wine spritzer, two halves and how many Guinness? Three.
Three more after that, Julie.
OK.
Kevin, we've had a problem with the cheque for Nathan's trip to France.
Don't worry.
It's the bank.
I've been on at them, sorting it out.
Wednesday next week, or his place will go to one of the other lads.
He's our star fly-half, Alex.
We're not gonna leave him at home.
Wednesday.
How's Kev, Sarah? Oh, he's beside himself.
Only eight points behind and you have already played your Joker.
How is he about work? The redundancy letters have been going out.
Oh, yeah, Kev said he wasn't affected.
We didn't get a letter.
Oh.
'Do not go gentle into that good night' 'Old age should burn and rave at close of day.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
' Who was the last actor to play Batman before Christian Bale? George Clooney.
Who directed Dog Day Afternoon? Sidney Lumet.
Fantastic, Kev.
What is the name of Nemo's father in Finding Nemo? How is anyone expected to know that? Marlon.
Brilliant.
I apologise for ever telling you to turn the television off, ever.
Keep it on at all times now, even when you're out.
And, finally Come on, Kevin.
Even your dad's getting into it now - Sssh! Last question.
For which 2005 film did Rachel Weisz win an Oscar? I know this.
Write it down.
It's on the tip of my tongue.
Stick your tongue out, we'll read it.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
The Incontinent Gardener.
I don't think that's right.
I'm the captain and I've written it down.
That's not what it's called.
How do you know? No-one'd see it.
Who's gonna see a film about an incontinent gardener? I think Martin's right.
I've written it now.
Wait, Kevin! Are you sure? Don't! Kev! Are you sure? Aaaaah! Is no-one gonna tell me what happened? Constant Gardener.
CONSTANT.
We lost by a point.
Tomorrow, find yourself another godfather for your daughter, cos I don't wanna do it any more.
Martin.
I don't want to, Mum.
Not if she's as dozy as her dad.
If it wasn't for me, we wouldn't have come close.
He's right, Martin.
If it wasn't for me, we wouldn't have entered.
If it weren't for you, we could've had a night in front of the telly, instead of going through all this.
Dad, it was a fundraiser for Nathan's trip to France.
If it weren't for you, Nathan wouldn't exist, and we wouldn't have even heard of the fundraiser.
Why am I to blame for everything? Mum? You're behaving like children.
And will you stop eating the quiche? Delicious, that.
Can I have a plate, Grandma? It's for tomorrow.
You can make another one.
Get some plates, Martin.
Give me a knife, you're just hacking at it.
Martin, can you get the mayo? Anybody else want quiche? Right, who wants a plate? It's OK.
Are you ready to renounce the devil? I am.
Let's have a look at her.
Belle of the ball.
Oh, look at that! Did you knit that, Sare? Yeah, I did.
That is sweet.
It's sweet.
Look at his hat.
Where's the fire? Where's the fire? Give her back, come on.
Look there! Yay! Are these two of yours, Martin? They are.
Have you had any more, since I last saw you? Yes, we've had another 72, since Wednesday, Grandad! Good man.
Oh, come on.
I hope you're going to behave yourself today, Dad.
Oh.
Mind the step.
Yeah.
Ooh.
In there.
All things bright and beautiful All creatures great and small All things wise and wonderful The Lord God made them all Each little flower that opens Daisy, Daisy! Give me your answer do Each little bird that sings I'm half crazy He made their glowing colours All for the love of you He made their tiny wings It won't be a stylish marriage I can't afford a carriage All things bright and beautiful Dad! # You'll look seat upon the seat Of a bicycle for two-oo-ooo The Lord God made them all Welcome and what a pleasure it is to minister at another occasion in the life of the Holdaway-Paradise family.
I believe all of you down the years have either been married in this church, or christened in this font.
Frank, I believe, was christened here over 90 years ago.
Pauline and Rowan, 60 years ago now and, of course, Pauline's children Kevin, Heather, Martin, all of you here today.
And Rowan's daughter Emma.
Emma.
Nearly 100 years of life in this holy place.
Name this child.
Bridget Beyonce Paradise.
- One, two, three! - Cheese! Let's see her, Kev! Yeah, hold her up, Kevin, like in Roots.
I can't believe he forgot my mum's name.
Yes, he won't be in the job much longer.
We'll send the boys round.
I don't even know if she's alive.
You know, I don't think she is, Scarlett, the place she was in.
I think she left you with me out of love, because she knew she couldn't cope wi- Shut up! You know what really hurt, about Jake finishing with me.
Not being able to see his mum and dad again, and they were a proper mum and dad.
Do you need a hand in the kitchen, Auntie Rowan? I'll send Abby in.
Hey! Pull it taut, come on.
Hey, I'm going first.
Off! Steady, Tonto! How do you do it, then? Da-dah! You're drawing again.
Yeah.
Your mum used to draw, when she was tiny, she used to come and stay.
She'd draw me meadows full of wild flowers.
I had a whole box of 'em.
Oh, dear, dear, dear.
That's it, love.
Will you help me find my mum, Grandpa Frank? How much did the rugby club make last night, Gary? Over five grand.
That's fantastic.
Yeah, but they reckon one of the bar staff nicked a bundle.
Do they know who? They reckon that Julie girl.
No, Julie's all right.
She's a nice girl.
I like her.
Come on, Kev.
I don't feel that well, Gary.
Do you mind if we stop? I'll get a drink, hang on.
Get us a beer, Kev! Yeah, I'll get you a beer.
Can I visit the bank of Mum and Dad? You haven't paid back the last two loans, yet, Kevin.
Which two? Not that it's a big thing.
Well, if it's not a big thing, then it's not a big thing.
How much? Don't tell Sarah, but I'm about 600 short for Nathan's trip to France.
I'll pay you back, I promise, it's just my cards are maxed up.
You shouldn't have cards.
Send me to my room without any tea, cos I do.
I haven't got much more than that.
And why can't I mention this to Sarah? Do you tell her about the other amounts you borrowed? Course I do.
You shouldn't keep secrets, Kevin.
I'll talk to your dad.
I need it now, Mum.
I know it's a big ask, but he's a talented kid, isn't he? He'll earn a fortune as a rugby player, and he's handsome too.
He'll get endorsements, you know, Gavin Henson.
He'll be in magazines.
He's a great kid, Mum.
You know that.
Here you are, look, I've got one.
Ta.
The truth is, secrets are the beginning of the end, really.
That's what we've always told our kids.
They're like dry rot in a house.
They're hidden away but, give it 30 years, and the whole thing will cave in.
Erm What's the secret of a long marriage? Not getting divorced.
It's like being married to Einstein! I'm ovulating.
Hooray! Was that sarcastic? I don't need to know every month, do I, H? I hope it works out for you, but - I don't need you to be sarcastic.
Mum, I need you there for me.
Cos, the more this goes on, the more I think he's not there for me.
Listen up, everyone.
Everyone! Thanks for coming, everybody.
Today is not about anyone, except this little person here.
I feel she's really lucky, to have the people here, to set her on her way.
Can I just say - Oh, God.
Here we go.
Can I just say: I love everyone here? I love everyone.
My family.
The rugby club, which is family.
The fireman family - The Royal family! The Manson family! Them too, they're all lovely people but just just thanks for making this a very special day for me and Sarah.
Grandpa Frank? Grandpa Frank! See you there.
I first saw her at church, and I knew she'd clocked me, because I was as handsome as Denis Compton, back then.
But we didn't get the courage to speak to one another for nearly 18 months.
Every Sunday, I'd go back to church hoping to see her and through the week and through the week, all I could think about was whether I'd ever see that beautiful girl again.
Coming up to midnight, we've got 10 minutes on whether the Sky Blues should cut their losses and get in someone new.
This next one is for Frank and it's from me.
Maybe Grandpa going is a sign.
Maybe he was making room for one more.
If we conceive this month and it's a boy, we could call him Frank.
After Lampard.
Sare? Thanks for staying up.
Are you all right? When did this arrive? When I looked in your jacket for some money.
Not tonight, Sare, I've just - Yes, tonight.
You have got to be straight with me.
You can't hide things from me, or yourself.
'We thank you for your 13 years of valuable service,' and they're offering you a new position, as 'a retained firefighter'.
What does that mean? Two nights a week, buffing the engine and a couple of call-outs.
So you need another job.
We'll still get the wage for a bit.
The union's got a good deal.
So you need another job.
But what? You're going to bounce back, Kev, that's what.
Plenty of time for more rugby coaching.
Which won't pay.
No.
Well, you'll just have to just I don't know what you're gonna do, to bring money in.
I thought you'd be a fireman forever.
Beautician? Oh.
We'll be OK.
You are a big, brave man with a winning smile.
You've just got to stop all this letter-hiding, cowardly crap.
Be honest about things.
It'll be OK.
Hm? Yeah.
'Do not go gentle into that good night.
Old age should burn and rave at close of day.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
' Ken? Mm? Can I come to you? What? What do you mean? You know what I mean.
Are you serious? Yes.
You're not serious.
What? What do you mean, 'What'? Looking at me, like that.
Go to sleep.
Oi! Turn it off.
I want to ask you a question, Ken.
Ken? KEN! What? Does life just pass you by? Significant things happen in my life and I notice.
My father dies.
The man you've lived with for 11 years dies, and does it have no repercussion in your world? Do you not notice? Does it make any difference to you, that your father-in-law dies? That your grandchild was christened? That your wife retires from her job? Do you not notice?! Can't you speak to me? Does what happens to me affect you in any way, Ken? Daddy? Yes, darling? Is Grandpa Frank in heaven? Well Heaven probably isn't real, Caitlin, so Grandpa Frank just doesn't exist any more.
Kids, come here.
No, no, I think what Daddy was trying to say is yes.
Yes, he's in heaven and he's with Jesus and he's having a really, really lovely time.
Budge up.
Hello? What's this poem about, then? Mr Bachman? Mrs Paradise, it's two o'clock in the morning.
Well, are you up for a conversation, or not? Yea Yes.
This poem.
I read it and it sent chills down my spine.
Yeah? What are you doing? I'm trying to find my spectacles.
Why, you can't see me? No.
No, that's right.
What does it mean? 'Do not go gentle into that good night'? Well, it-it's about keeping going, Mrs Paradise.
And why did you give it to me? I gave it as an antidote to the hammock and the secateurs .
.
cos they imply drifting away, and I thought it was wrong that that was the only message that someone like you had.
And I know what it's like.
When my wife died, I had to stop myself from doing it.
From drifting away.
Shit.
Shit.
He didn't wear his hair forward, like this.
Pauline? Can I do the eulogy at the funeral, Pauline? Well, I was thinking Martin, maybe.
No, it should be one of us.
It should be me doing something for him, for once.
And will you do something for me, too? Can I come and live with you, after the funeral? I don't want to live in that house any more, or with Ken.
Pauline! No, I'm going to say to Ken, 'You've been an OK husband.
It's not been great, but you've been OK.
Children are OK.
The house, it's all been fine in its way.
And, at times, I've enjoyed it so, thanks and everything, but I'm going to do something else now.
' I want to come and live in one of your seven bedrooms and be a servant to no-one.
Have you thought it through? I don't want to think it through.
When I think things through, they end up not happening.
Like in the '70s, when I thought it through about whether I should train to be a teacher.
I let Ken and Dad 'think' me out of it.
You never thought about anything twice, did you? You'd have been a good teacher.
You had the kind of life where you were part of something.
You worked as a model in the '70s, for Christ's sake.
You were a free spirit.
You were great.
You were beautiful.
You were free.
It wasn't all that exciting, Paul.
Well, it looked it.
And, then, after all those boyfriends, you get married four times, or whatever.
Three, darling.
And then you hook up with a married man, which is as good as a fourth.
Your life had chapters, Rowan.
I've slept with one man, my whole life.
One.
And I don't even know if he's any good at it.
I've nothing to compare it to.
Can we not talk about this in front of our dead dad? I should have been a car.
If I'd have been a car, he might have gone under my bonnet more often.
We're not having this conversation.
Have you finished? So can I come? Just till I'm sorted? Of course.
I have a list here of things I will always remember about Frank.
Things I love.
From the immense love he had for us all to how he came home drunk from the work do, one Christmas, and tried to paint the Christmas tree yellow.
About how he and Mum had such a good marriage.
Were constant.
Constant gardeners, like in that title of that Ralph Fiennes movie.
Always gardening the world for their children.
Thank you for being my dad, Frank.
And Pauline's.
Thanks, Tommy.
Mum, the rugby club Lovely speech, Rowan.
Auntie Rowan.
Auntie Rowan, sorry.
Mum, the rugby club have said your cheque's bounced.
Yes.
I cancelled it.
No, you don't understand, Mum.
The cheque's bounced.
I need the money.
Why? What are you going to spend it on? Me.
No, you don't understand, the cheque's bounced, and this is his chance to tour France, Mum - Kevin! Dad, can you have a word with Mum? She's reneging all over the place.
You talk to her.
I have talked to her.
All she said was, 'Kevin! Kevin!' like she was an alien.
As if the word 'Kevin' was new to her, and she wasn't pleased about it.
Where are you going? Garage.
Garage? Don't grieve alone.
What are you doing in here? The buffet must be in the front room.
There's nothing laid out in there.
What? Is this the right house? Mum? It's the right house, but I don't know what you're all doing here.
It's Grandpa's wake, isn't it? I didn't say I was going to hold one.
No, but, why not? Why the suitcases, Mum? Where's your dad? He's in the garage, grieving by himself.
Mum? I've told your dad I'm leaving him.
What? Now? Right, come on, out.
I'm leaving today, yes.
I said goodbye to my dad.
I've said goodbye to my husband.
And now I'm saying goodbye to you.
I'm not going to be a daughter, or a wife, or a mum any more.
I'm going.
Where are you going? Rowan's.
Well, you're not going far, then.
Why are you doing this? Because I really want to.
What did Dad say? Your dad never says anything.
Charlie, I'd appreciate it if you would drive me to Rowan's.
You all have each other now.
You're all married, you're all fine.
You don't need me any more.
And I knew you would've expected me to do today .
