on the Kiss FM UK Facebook wall.

There's plenty more new music to come.

(ROCK MUSIC OVER RADIO)

Mm-hm.

(CRASHING)

(RUMBLING)

(DOOR OPENS)

- What's going on?

- (JAKE) I think there was an earthquake.

Don't be stupid. Since when

do they have earthquakes in Battersea?

(SARAH) on, my God.

What?

- What? What is it?

- (SARAH) Must be a bomb.

(GREG)

Why would terrorists bomb here?

Makes more sense

than an earthquake.

(CAR ALARM BLARING IN DISTANCE)

Do you have a TV?

Sh*t.

That's my car.

Wait. It could be dangerous out there.

You've gotta be f***ing kidding me.

(CAR ALARM BLARING)

(BEEPING)

(SIRENS WAILING IN DISTANCE)

(EXPLOSION IN DISTANCE)

Oh, my God.

(HELICOPTER WHIRRING)

(DIALLING MOBILE PHONE)

Turn on the TV.

Nick, just do it. Just turn on the TV.

I think there's been a plane crash.

(BARKING)

No, no, no, here. I can see smoke coming

up from somewhere over by the park.

Nick, just turn on the TV.

(TYRES SCREECHING)

(MAN SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY

OVER RADIO)

Oh, sh*t. Foxy.

Foxy? Foxy, there you are.

Come on. Come here.

What the hell is that?

(FOXY BARKING)

Foxy. Come back. Foxy.

Foxy?

(FOXY PANTING)

Foxy, what is it?

(BARKING)

Foxy.

What is it?

(SHOUTS) Foxy!

# You can look but don't touch desire

(MAKING POPPING SOUNDS)

# Your dreams are dust at dawn

# And now you've got

what you've been longing for

# You don't want it any more

# But this time

# This time

I cleared the dishwasher last night

so your favourite mug's

in the top cupboard on the left.

Great, thanks.

# But this time

you've gone across that line #

You don't know any reason

she might have done this to me, do you?

I'm sorry.

- I just can't believe she did this to me.

- Forget her, yeah?

I mean, you're probably better off

being on your own for a while.

You're never on your own.

You're always either with her or with me.

Yeah.

(CHARLIE SIGHS)

(COUGHS)

Would you mind putting

your window down'? It's wafting fumes.

(WINDOW WHIRRS)

I've lost my deposit. You know that?

Yeah. You've only told me

about 50 times.

Look, Charlie, relationships end.

People change. You can't blame yourself.

You must be the only person

who still uses matches.

- They're handy.

- If you wanna burn down a house, maybe.

Hey, and you know what? You know,

I don't blame myself. I blame her.

- I didn't change. Do I look like I changed?

- No, you haven't, Charlie. No.

No.

(REPORTER OVER RADIO)

Britain is on high alert...

I'm still the same guy. I'm still loveable,

do-it-all-for-his-friends Charlie, so...

At this stage it's not clear

what has happened,

but reports tell us there has been a plane

crash near Hyde Park in central London.

We haven't been made aware

of the size of the aircraft...

You hearing this?

- It may have been a military cargo plane.

- I just don't get what I did.

A f***ing plane has crashed

in the centre of London. Please!

--Attack or hijack,

claiming probable engine fault.

There's someone else.

There has to be someone else.

--Alleging that the plane was shot down.

A quarantine around central London is

in effect, and we've been told to expect...

Why do these things always happen

when you're trying to get somewhere?

Oh, look at this. For the love of Chr...

(HONKS)

Man.

Try it now.

(BEEPS)

- Still nothing.

- (SARAH) Oh, you're kidding me.

They're supposed to keep people out,

not in, for f***'s sake.

You couldn't get a better demonstration

of how good the lockdown security is. Heh.

(SARAH SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY)

(BOB) I'll try something else.

You know, something new.

Would you look at that?

There's a man's coat in here.

Is that Shelley's car?

- That's a man's jacket. A man's jacket!

- Calm down.

- Let me go.

- Not until you calm down.

I bought this car for us, Mark.

I bought this car.

Maybe that's why she dumped you.

(CHUCKLES)

Too soon, yeah? Sorry.

- You lousy f***ing...

- Charlie! Charlie. Leave it out.

- Feel better?

- Yeah, a little bit.

You're on my... You know.

- Oh, sorry. Sorry.

- Yeah.

(GROANS)

So, what if she's here.

You grin and get your stuff,

and then we're out. All right?

- Come on, let's get it over with.

- Yeah. But if she says one word to me...

(KEYPAD BEEPING)

- Try it now.

- What's going on?

My guess would be the plane crash

has f***ed with all the power

and phone lines in the area.

It's messing up all the security system.

- Keeps sending everything into lockdown.

- There's no rush here (!)

You know, you guys just keep chatting.

I don't need to be anywhere.

Let's try this.

Ta-da.

Thank you.

- We're gonna be able to get out of here?

- Oh, yeah, yeah, don't worry about that.

Cheers for that, mate.

I thought she was gonna kill me.

No, no, no.

Brilliant.

You know what I gotta do now,

don't you?

Is reroute the alarm

to the emergency power system.

Otherwise you're gonna have this all night.

You'll be in a right pickle.

So, where's your basement, kid?

Which one is it?

You don't remember, do you?

(CLANGING)

(MARK) You won't start something

when you see Shelley?

- Of course I'm not.

- You are, aren't you?

Promise me you won't.

- Charlie.

- I promise.

(BOB) Cor.

Stinks, doesn't it?

(JAKE) Well, you let me know

if you need anything, yeah?

(BOB MUMBLING)

(DOOR CLOSES)

Hmm.

(BOB HUMS)

Eh.

Hello.

(CLATTERING)

Hello?

Someone down here?

Mm-hm.

(HUMS)

Hmm.

- What...?

- Easy, Granddad.

I could hear you upstairs.

I think you might be looking for that.

All right?

Granddad?

(MUMBLES)

Here we go.

Ah. Let's have a look here.

(CLATTERING)

(ROCK MUSIC OVER RADIO)

(WOMEN CHATTERING)

- Why don't we just move in here?

- So, who gets the couch?

- Uh, I'm getting it.

- How do you know?

I chose it. Charlie doesn't have anywhere

to put it. He doesn't like it anyway.

He has nowhere to put it

because you kicked him out.

Do you wanna start

bringing some stuff down?

- No. I'm very happy helping you up here.

- 'Cause you're really helping, aren't you?

Well, hello. Who's this little guy?

I like it, put it in there.

- That's the keep box.

SHELLEY:
Yeah.

It's one of the first things

Charlie got me.

- Chris.

- It's cute. It's cute.

If someone had bought me this, it wouldn't

have taken me five years to dump him.

(MUSIC STOPS)

- (WHISPERS) Shell.

- (MARK) I'll take that.

- (WHISPERS) Awkward.

- Yeah. Awkward, buddy, yeah.
