Mrs.
Greenslade, thank you for waiting.
I've consulted with my manager-
Now if you'll just stay on the
phone for a moment and talk to me.
Just talk to me.
Of course.
I'm not even clear- I mean, I don't actually
understand what it is I'm trying to order.
Is wireless the same as Wi-Fi?
And what do either of them
have to do with broadband?
Mrs. Greenslade, since the
account is not in your name,
before we can make
any changes,
we need to verify details
with the account holder.
Can I please speak
to the account holder?
What?
I'm asking if I can talk
to the account holder.
Before we can make
any changes-
You can't talk to him, no.
He's dead.
He died of a heart attack.
There's only me.
Mrs. Greenslade, since the
account is not in your name-
Lord Justice Walton requests
the pleasure of our company.
- Had you forgotten?
- I hate retirement parties.
Crap cheese, crap wine.
Endless speeches.
Why do people do that?
Nobody- Nobody ever said about
a retirement party, you know,
Well, this is great.
I can't wait to have
one of my own.
it'll be yours one day.
One day very soon.
You've been saying that for years.
It was often said of Stancombe
that his bark was worse than his bite.
But as the recipient of both,
I can testify to the fact that
neither actually required surgery.
[All Chuckle 1
His relationship with
all his pupils...
was founded on respect.
We respected him, and he respected that.
Indeed, to this day,
I recall his response...
to the unwelcome news
that I would trans-
praecipitium a tergo lupi.
This is the day.
Graham?
This is the day.
And there's an unlimited range
of leisure opportunities...
just a stone's throw away.
So, as I say, what you're looking at
here is very competitively priced.
You won't see better
for your Grey Pound.
Another little feature-
not necessarily right now,
give it a few years-
rails on the wall
to help you get around.
And over here, a panic button.
In case of a sudden fall, brings
the warden running.
What if we fell
somewhere else?
Sorry?
It's just we might not manage
to plan our sudden fall...
in the exact corner where the button is.
Yeah, but-
And would it be possible to have the rail
going through the middle of the room-
Darling. to help us get
across, as well as around.
Um, c-c-could we have a moment, please?
Thank you. Yeah.
Thank you so much.
Darling-
Thirty years in the civil service,
and this is all we can afford.
W- W-Would it help
if I apologize again?
No.
But try it anyway.
Could Dr.
MacKenzie please make his way to Theater 7.
Young lady, I want a cup of tea.
And I want it now.
The trolley
will be along shortly.
How hard do you have to fall
to get proper attention?
I've been lying here for hours.
Not a single doctor
has come to see me.
Now that's not quite true,
is it, Mrs. Donnelly?
A doctor did try and examine
you, and you sent him away.
What, that one? He can wash all he likes.
That color's not coming out.
I want an English doctor.
Oh, an English doctor.
Why didn't you say so?
I'll get one right away.
Thank you.
Mrs. Donnelly,
this is Dr. Ghujarapartidar.
Notes, please.

systems analyst for a few years,
but I just found it so dull.
What I really wanted was to do
something more creative that matched-
Um, I'm sorry.
Um, on the form, they asked
for our age bracket...
and the age
we wanted to meet.
And in both cases,
I ticked 25 to 39.
That's right. So did I.
Anyway, don't stop. Uh-
Something more creative.
How old are you?
Early 40s.
And, you know, my interests
are travel, theater-
Do you mean you were born
in the early '40s?
Judy, I know what you're asking.
lt'S Judith.
Judith. Trust me.
I've still got it.
Just can't ind anyone
that wants it.
Hi. I'm Norman.
This is crazy. You're crazy.
You can't just up and leave like this.
And yet, if you watch me, that's
exactly what you'll see happen.
What's going on?
Your mother's lost it.
- My mother never had it.
- You talk to her.
She doesn't listen to me.
Nobody listens to you.
I still don't understand
what's going on.
I just asked her to babysit,
and now she says she's leaving.
But you love babysitting.
I loved it last night.
We had pizza
and stayed up late.
- And the night before?
- We had Chinese and stayed up late.
If you don't go,
tonight we could do a curry.
It's tempting, darlings,
but you know I have to leave.
We know.
Being here is stopping her
finding a husband.
Another one?
Bye, Granny.
Bye, Granny.
Don't let the buggers
get you down.
How many husbands
have you had anyway?
- Including my own?
- Mother.
Mother.
Mother!
Thank you, yes.
Right. Name the place, darlin'.
Where you going?
I've absolutely no idea.
There's no other way.
There just isn't.
Harold told us this
three months ago.
And I'm afraid
matters have only got worse.
We can't wait any longer.
We need to put this flat on the market and
at least start paying off Dad's debts.
I've talked it through
with Polly and the boys.
Of course, we all agreed.
Ma will come and live with us.
I think that's best, Evelyn.
And it's what Hugh
would have wanted.
Good. Well, that's settled.
End of discussion.
Oh! That's just what your
father used to say- Ma.
When there'd never been
any discussion at all.
I want to look after
things for you.
What, like he did for 40 years?
Look how that turned out.
How on earth do we know
what Hugh would have wanted?
And would he have seen Ht
to tell us anyway?
Obviously,
the flat's got to be sold.
And you're very kind,
and dear Polly.
But I shan't be
coming to live with you.
You need a new hip,
Mrs. Donnelly.
It's not a difficult operation.
That's easy for you to say.
You're not having it.
Regardless.
You do need a new hip.
- I'm not gettin' it from you.
- Not me personally, no.
- No, none of your lot.
- I see.
When do I have the operation?
I'm afraid you'll be on the waiting
list for at least six months.
At my age,
I can't plan that far ahead.
I don't even buy green bananas.
There is another way.
a pilot scheme...
that will enable us to outsource
you to another hospital...
where they can perform the
procedure almost immediately...
and at a fraction of the cost.
Is it local?
They cover the
cost of the flight out apparently.
When did you get a computer?
How far along
is the progress bar?
That thing at the top.
