- I have an idea.

- Don't speak just now.

Hello! Mummy's home!

Where's my bubbies?

- Hiya, bubbies!

- Again, again!

- Look! Mummy's here.

- My turn! Again!

- More, more!

- More, more!

More, more!

Hi.

My turn again!

He's not wearing any wings.

Oh, yeah. I...

I just suggested it, and...

I hope you don't mind.

I just...

We just thought we'd save them

for special days.

- Is that alright?

- Of course.

Where's their father?

- Hi.

- Hey.

I know you're angry with me.

I know why.

I had no choice.

That's it?

That's the apology?

I was desperate

for some sort of contact.

So that makes it OK

to expose our kids

to every perv and weirdo

who decided to log on?

No, that was a mistake -

I left the webcam on

to keep an eye

on the nanny, that's all.

As soon as I knew everyone

was watching, I called you.

- Who's the bloke?

- What bloke'?

Oh, come on, Elspeth.

Don't do this.

- Rory? He's just a friend.

- Not Rory, Neil.

- Who's Rory?

- Neil?

Yeah, Neil,

who sent you perfume.

Neil sent me perfume?

Oh, well...

He's just a boy, Jimmy.

He helped me

install the webcam.

Why would he

send you perfume?

Because I smell?

I don't know.

So who's this Rory?

Nobody.

I'm sorry

everyone got to watch you,

but I'm not sorry

that I got to watch you,

because I fell in love

with you.

I didn't even know

I'd fallen out of love with you

until I fell in love

with you again,

but that's

what happened, Jimmy.

I love you.

James!

How do I know you won't

fall out of love with me again?

I won't.

I won't!

# if the polar ice

is really melting

# If icebergs crack

and tear apart

# If glaciers tumble

to the ocean

# Why can't I melt

# The ice around your heart?

# For as you sail away

# Your heart grows

ever colder

# And even in

the warm and changing sea

# And falling down

# Onto the lonely seabed

# Is a heart

that once belonged

# To me

# Where are the stars?

# Where is the sky?

# Where is the chart

to guide us by?

# Where is the map?

# Where is

the part

# Where I warm

your frozen heart?

# Your parting words

are now an echo

# Now angry silence

says it all... #

# Don't want to lose you

to the distance

# Baby, just hold onto me

# And we won't fall

# And as I sail away

# Your heart

grows ever colder

# Shifting on

an ever-changing sea

# Where are the stars?

Where is the sky?

# Where is the chart

to guide us by?

# Where is the map?

# Where is

the part

# Where I warm

your frozen heart?

# Where is the sky?

# Where are the stars

to guide me by?

# Where is the map?

# Where is

the part

# Where I warm

your frozen heart?

# If the polar ice

# if icebergs

crack and tear apart

# If glaciers

tumble to the ocean

# Why can't I melt

# The ice

around your heart? #

What is that?

What's wrong with it?

Hey, that's mine!

That's mine!

- Welcome home.

- Neil! Hi.

Thanks.

- Did you get my present...

- Excuse me.

- Aren't you that girl?

- Uh, no.

You are. You're Elspeth.

I loved your show.

We were on

the edge of our seats wondering

if James was gonna

bonk that nanny.

Why'd you stop?

Um, technical difficulties.

So, what are you doing now?

Shopping-

Neil! Clean-up

in aisle five, please.

- Neil! Clean-up in aisle five.

- Coming!

Apparently, he just

packed up and moved out.

- With the babysitter?

- No, not Cherry.

- She's starting her own show.

- Oh, I heard that.

You know, I heard she knew about

the webcam the entire time.

No! I don't believe that.

- Speak of the devil.

- Oh, my God.

- Elspeth?

- Poor thing.

Hi! It's Sophie,

from mothers group. Remember?

Do you want to have a coffee

with us later or something?

Um... my ice-cream

is melting.

Daddy!

I recorded that this morning.

It's a humpback.

Nobody knows exactly

why he's doing it.

I think it's 'cause

he's lost his mate.

I think he's trying to find

his way back to her.

And nothing's

gonna stop him

until he finds her again,

'cause she's...

...everything in the world

to him.

Ah!

Daddy, Fred done poo!

- Poo!

- Oh, good man!

- Well done!

- You've done a poo! Thank God!

- Fred, thank God.

- Good boy.

Good stuff. Well done.

Oh, I'm proud of you.

He still burns the toast.

He's mastered the ancient art

of sock sorting.

He's really trying.

When he's away, he logs on.

He sees me.

He hears my sink songs.

Which, of course,

you're all welcome to do.

# Welcome

to my kitchen sink

# This is where

I stop and think

# Where I'm often

on the brink

# Of madness... #

And if you're

in the neighbourhood,

drop by and see us

in the barn.

Details are on the website.

See you next week.

- # Welcome to my washing-up

- # Welcome to my washing-up

- # My 40,000th coffee cup

- # Her 40,000th coffee cup

# A place which knows

my every sulk

- # And sadness

- # And sadness

# Here I'm stuck

night after night

# Here I plot

revenge and flight

# Here's the scene

of wifely compromise

# Pine O Cleen and Lemon Gleam

# The kitchen sink

is where I dream

# And where I fantasise. #

# Meet at five at PartyLand

# Ring the changes

Bring the band

# Come with me, dance with me,

hand to hand

# Let's all have a party

# No fussing and no fighting

# And everyone's invited

# The loving's double-sided

# The circuit's overriding

# The cells are all dividing

It's getting quite exciting

# The babes are all arriving

# Watch and learn

Touch and yearn

# Boy, we're gonna make you

burn, burn, burn

# Let's all have a party

# No fussing and no fighting

# And everyone's invited

# The loving's double-sided

# Join at the hip

Slide and dip

# Let it all rip

Work it out and flip

# Join at the hip

Slide and dip

# Let it all rip

Work it out and flip... #

# Put a smile on my face

# Don't know if the world's

gonna give me an ace

# But it's alright

if you're with me

# I look up to the sky,

see the rain up ahead

# Didn't bring my umbrella,

so I'm bound to get wet

# But it's alright

if you're with me

# It's alright when I know

that you're with me

# It's alright

when I know that you're close

# I can't handle the world

trying to ruin my mood

# 'Cause it ain't gonna work

# Back up, take a train

all the way outta town

# Can't breathe when

there's so many people around

# But it's alright

if you're with me

# It's alright when I know

that you're with me

# It's alright

when I know that you're close

# I can't handle the world

trying to ruin my mood

# 'Cause it ain't

gonna work

# It's alright when I know

that you're with me

# It's alright

when I know that you're close

# I can't handle the world

trying to ruin my mood

# 'Cause it ain't
