My sister, Seren,

Our mum, for leaving

and forgetting to tell us
where she went.

And forever at
the top of my list,

Julia Blenkingsopp.

Did you hear Rhiannon died?

Oh, no. I, I didn't-

Who subjected me

to a relentless campaign
of psychological abuse.

Eroding my self-worth and
general context in the world.

Oh my god, do you smell that?
It smells like decay!

[laughing]

She's so weird.

Julia Blenkingsopp,

for making me pull so much
of my hair out,

that I had to wear a wig.

Julia Blenkingsopp,

Dad?
Dad?!

Oh, excuse me!

[laughs] I pulled out the wire.

- You prick!
- No, you're too easy.

Oh.

- You alright?
- Yeah.

[Rhiannon sighs]

All right.
Got you some bits.

Yes!
Give me my, knife, would you.

Yeah.

[dad coughing]

Here you go.

Thanks.
What happened there?

Ah, just tea.

Jeff, uh, bumped into me.

It was an accident.

You let people take the piss.

You need to learn
to stand up for yourself.

I know.

Ah, don't just say you know.
Do it.

I'm serious, Rhiannon.

Don't let people
walk all over you.

Make 'em see you, how you are.

How special you are.

Just be more...

RAHR!
[laughs]

[coughing]

You trying to k*ll me?

[coughing]

You sound worse.

Has anyone been in
to see you today?

[breathing heavily]

[nurse] I told you,

someone will be with you as soon
as they're available.

- Excuse me?
- Come on!

- It will take you two minutes!
- Sorry, can I?

- This isn't good enough.
- [Rhiannon] Um-

I pay for your f*cking wages!

Oh! Can I have a raise then?

[man]
My mate wants a mini trifle,

so he should get
a mini f*cking trifle!

[nurse] Don't speak to me
like that, sir.

- Sorry, I, I just need, um-
- Hey, I'm talking to you!

Hi, excuse me?

Fine, I'll do it myself then...

[Rhiannon]
And myself...

Tommy will be so missed,

and not just by the people whose
extensions he didn't finish

- before he fell ill.
- [people chuckling]

Oh, what time d'you call this?

As I was saying,
Tommy will be missed.

Hi.

But he'll be missed most
by his family.

I thought you weren't coming.

The flight was delayed.

Daughter Seren, mother to his
only grandchild, Noel.

Son in law, Xavier.

Daughter and carer, Rhian.

- That's not my name.
- Shhh.

And not to mention
his dedicated employees,

Andrew, Craig and Shaun,
whom he saw as family.

And all the other friends,
colleagues and clients,

who have come to say
goodbye one final time.

And now,

to play Tommy out of this life
and onto whatever awaits,

is a cover of a song
by his favorite artist,

Bruce Springsteen.

Because Tommy was, 'A Boss' too.

Literally.

He ran a limited company
and employed three other people.

[people laughing]

I told him to say that.

Tommy, this one's for you.

Carefully chosen by...

Rhian.

Oh.

Are you the one that

- Anyway-
- So, how have you been?

- Sorry, what's that?
- Sorry.

I was just asking
how you've been.

Ah, um...

I'm pretty sad actually.

Yeah...

Yeah, me too.

Anyway um,
it was good to see you.

- Yeah.
- I should deliver these.

Oh maybe we could get
coffee or something, sometime?

Yeah...

yeah, okay.

I mean you've got my number, so.

Yeah but um,
I don't know if it's working.

Does it end in two, seven, four?

Yeah, that's the one.

- Okay.
- Cool.

- No thanks, babes.

I'll get, uh, red wine...

I'd died and was

Bye.

- Julia.

Sorry.

I only eat meat
when I'm menstruating.

Oh,
come on it's a special occasion.

Rhiannon, can you stop waving
meat in my face!

Oh, sorry.
Didn't see you.

There are like,
zero vegetarian options.

Who the f*ck eats
iceberg lettuce?

You should have a word
with whoever did the food,

looks like an impoverished
child's birthday party.

Yeah Rhiannon, did you even send
them my dietary requirements?

Oh my God, hi!
It's been so long, hasn't it?

I mean,
I haven't seen you since school!

So long ago.

We're all so different now,
aren't we?

So how are you?
What have you been up to?

Rhiannon!?

My dad died.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

Julia!

What?
Pidge wants some chipolatas.

Excuse me.

Stop being weird.

[bemused music playing]

Were you just gonna go?

I did look for you.

It was nice to catch up.

Yeah, I haven't seen
the girls for ages!

They're all going for a
reunion drink at SQR tomorrow.

You should go.

Are you joking?

What?

She pretended
not to recognize me.

Julia?

Maybe she didn't.

Yeah, right.

Rhiannon,

we need to sell the house.

And the business probably.

What?

[stammering]
But I, but I live in the house!

There are other houses.

But this is dad's house!

Seren...

our home.

- You could always buy me out.
- What with?

I'm an admin assistant.
A bag of stationary?!

Well, Xav and I wanna buy a
place, so...

Well, why don't you move back?

You could move back in,

and then we could all be
like a little family.

It won't just be Tink
and me-

Are you serious?

But where would I go?

All- all of dad's stuff-

Sorry.
It's happening.

I've got an estate agent.
Julia's doing it.

No. Seren.

Yes. Rhiannon,
she's doing us a favor.

Her new place doesn't normally
take anything

under a half a mill.

Seren,
you can't let her-

Let's talk about it later, yeah.

- Seren, please!
- I'll ring you.

I'll sort it.

Bye.

Okay.

This could be
a good thing for you.

New start.

What?! Dad's dead!

I know.
He was my dad, too.

You need to get over
this Julia thing.

Go to SQR.
You might have fun.

for failing to notice

there's been a woman sized hole
on reception

for the last ten days.

My dad, for saying I should
stand up for myself

and then dying.
So now I have to.

Do I need pet insurance?
No.

My boss, Norman.

[Norman]
Because I don't have any pets.

[Rhiannon] For only seeing me
as a coat rack.

When I could be so much more.

- Oo!
- Can I get a word, Norman?

Oh, oh, that's not for me!
I was- Er, yeah, yeah...

Um...

What can I do for you?

I'd like to be considered for
the Junior Reporter position.

Please.

O- kay...

Um, wasn't expecting that.

Um, what's brought this on?

I've been here a while now,
and...

I thought it was
time for a change.

So,
here is my CV for your perusal.

Oh...

Well you said when I started

there would be scope
for progression

and um, I haven't actually uh, progressed.

But, I'd like to.

You don't have to read it now-

Yeah well, I've read it.
It's quite short.

Well, I've been working on
some story ideas

that could be good for us.

Um, for example, someone found
a perfectly preserved cat

in the Carndale flats
redevelopment.

I thought it could be a good uh,
human interest story?

Or, um...

There's a residents meeting
happening next week

about the surgery closures.

I could cover that.

Okay, there's, there's more,
if you-

The thing is, Sweetpea.

I don't really see
you in editorial.

Well cause, I'm not there yet,
you know.

I'm over there,
but I'd like to be, there.

The last pair I had,

the lens shattered
'cause I was cycling too fast.

And Jeff is...

- Great.
- Yeah.

But, as Junior Reporter

I could focus on engaging
my demographic.

Mmmm, it's just you don't
have the umm...

to be uh...

Y'know?
You're a bit...

la, la, la, la, la...

You need to be, rahr!

So the question I would ask is,

do you have that
k*ller instinct to uh,

do that, y'know, the job?

Well, maybe not now,
but I can learn.

Well, you, you do that.
And then we'll talk.

Uh, no.
