“Season One, Episode Six”

In this episode: Unlucky Alf (2), Brilliant (1), Roy (1), Renée (1)

YEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH...aren't mams brilliant? They give birth to you, you know, they 'have' you, an' that. And then they look after you, for as long as you want. You don't have to pay 'em or nowt, fantastic. In fact, they pay you, pocket money and that, you know? Brilliant. And they've got this special magic way of puttin' your socks on, where they turn 'em 'alf inside out. I love mams, they're brilliant, and they're all different, which is brilliant, 'cause if they all looked the same you wouldn't know which 'ouse to go to for your tea. That'd be terrible wouldn't it, you might not be ready at the time you normally have it. Dads are all right but mams are better, mams are softer, and they smell better, and they do the cooking. 'Ave you seen them new cookers called 'microwaves, where everything takes just one minute to cook, one minute, your dinner, your snack, your tea even. Just one minute, or your breakfast if you want. One minute breakfast, fantastic. Microwaves, brilliant, but you can't put metal in 'em, I don't know why.

[he trips and falls over his own feet]

I fell over, brilliant.

[we cut to Roy and Renée in a bar during the Chanel 9 news; Poula Fisch has reported that instead of the usual scorchio, there is “nimbo cumulos” (a cloud) on the Costa; the regular news is stopped for a “Speciale Report”.]

You’d think they’d never seen a cloud before, oh we did laugh- they’re even selling T-shirts of the cloud; we brought one each myself and Roy, oh I said to Roy I don’t know if they will wash well, what did I say Roy?

[Renée holds up a white T-shirt with a grey cloud on it]

I don’t know if they will wash well.

Next thing this film crew arrived, so I went up to this foreign man and said hello, we’re from England in the United Kingdom, I said could we be in your film we’ve seen loads of clouds- what did I say Roy?

We’ve seen loads of clouds.

Well I said we are experts myself and Roy, the foreign man said could you go away, we’re trying to film, what did they say Roy?

Hethethethetheth Pethethethetheth

Stop showing off… Roy!

Another day. I don't hold out much 'ope. Usual mixture of bad luck and despair, misery and frustration, piles.

[there's a knock at the door, Alf opens it]

PMPools Man

Unlucky Alf?

That's right.

PMPools Man

You've won the pools.

Blimey!

PMPools Man

Here's a cheque for £1 000 000.

Oh right, well thanks very much. [he reads from cheque] 'One million pounds only', I don't know why they write 'only' seems like quite a lot of money to me.

[another knock at the door]

Now what?

[a woman dressed in 'sexy' clothing is at the door]

WWoman

Hello, pet. Can I borrow a cup o' sugar?

I'm sorry, I've run out.

WWoman

That's all right, I didn't really want any, it's you I'm after you beast. You lucky boy, you lucky boy, you lucky boy...

No, back off, control yourself, no, no, no...

[fades to Alf in bed]

...no, no...[alarm sounds and he turns it off] Thank Christ for that, it were all just a bad dream.

[dust falls from the ceiling and there is a creaking above]

'Ere we go...

[the ceiling falls and lands on Alf who makes a hole through it and looks out]

That's more like it.

[Alf is feeding the geese in a park]

Not many pleasures remainin' in life for an old gent, 'part from poppin' in t' park for an hour or so to feed the geese. [to geese] Come on, come on me little friends, g-oooh!

[a goose appears and pecks at his crotch]

Ooh, bugger! I didn't realise that were goin' t' happen. Ooh! Not that I've got much use for it anymore, I suppose.
