Years and Years

It's been called the most unpredictable

general election in living memory.

Let the people decide, but only the clever ones.

- You know Viktor Goraya. - We go get him out.

We've got to get him into a country that grants asylum.

But to do that, he's got to cross the border.

You mean illegally?

We need the money. I'm the man who lost a million quid, remember?

What are the five jobs? Celeste said you had five.

Don't use her name, not here.

This is an extraordinary result.

They can come to me,

and I will decide.

Happy New Year!

Has everyone got a glass?

Bethany, you do the honours.

It's in your "sync devices."

Happy New Year!

No more than that. Hush now.

It is my honour to say congratulations,

a very happy engagement to you both.

Yeah, second time lucky, Dan.

Sorry, everyone. Happy new Year.

You wouldn't believe how busy the roads are.

Hey, congratulations.

I can't believe you had to work.

Double pay. So, how are you? Is that the new flat?

How is it?

It's not a flat, it's a room in a house with 16 people.

Yeah, but it's in one of those tall back streets in the centre

of Madrid, so... I mean, it's handy.

They are okay. They're mostly Somalis.

The detention centres were full, so they pushed us out,

but, you know, it's better, I think.

And are they all right

with two men getting married, Somalis?

Well, if you think about it, Muriel, Somalia's a Muslim country,

so obviously that's tricky.

That was my point, wasn't it?

Well, now I've told you, so...

And it's greatly appreciated.

- All right, you two, ding-ding. - Just pointing out a fact.

Which I have absorbed, thank you. See what it's like?

I go to work to get out of the house.

The thing is, you lot,

I've got a sort of announcement to make.

They are never going to let Viktor back in the UK,

so we thought, when he gets his residency here,

well, it's obvious, really, I'll have to move out

and become a Spanish citizen.

Yes!

I thought so. I said so.

That's brilliant, good move.

Yeah, but it takes about ten years for the whole process to happen.

That's ages, though. I'll be 25.

Trust me, it flies past. It'll be here before know it.

Will you still be alive?

- Bethany! - You can't say that.

What kind of question is that?

But you had that radiation.

It's a very good question.

I promise I will cling on for dear life to get a free drink

out of my brother. Good luck to all of us.

And here's to you beautiful Spaniards.

- Yes! - Danny and Vic.

- Danny and Vic! - To us. To us.

It's on the Costa Brava, this little town.

And just outside, they've printed this village.

This complete village: houses, squares, all 3D printed

on these clifftops, overlooking the sea.

That's my job, housing.

I could do that.

I could print whole towns, whole cities, right here in Spain.

Costa del Danny.

I never call you Danny.

I quite like it now.

I hated it when I was a kid, but...

Danny.

Vicky!

That's no good!

No. Uh-uh? Uh-uh?

Hola.

Buenos tardes, Vicky.

Sounds like a party.

Spain's calling it the January Revolution,

as the so-called People's Party, Nueva Esperanza, declares itself

the new government.

Link TV, news channels, now!

The situation in Spain means a left-wing government

is being replaced by a far-left government.

What can we do about Spain?

Well, I'm stuck in the middle of a hung parliament.

There's nothing I can do.

They're saying Nueva Esperanza has a policy of repatriation.

Anyone without citizenship is sent home.

I thought they were left-wing.

You've got far-right, you've got far-left

eventually you meet in the middle.

They won't let you into France. Where else can you go?

Outbreaks of violence in Athens as the country withdraws

from the eurozone, and the Grexit begins.

Martial law has been declared as the government of Italy resigns.

Hungary has been declared bankrupt.

The whole world is on fire.

How long have you got?

About an hour.

The United Nations has threatened to remove its headquarters

from American soil.

After the suspension of same-sex marriage,

the Supreme Court has overturned Roe versus Wade.

- There she is! - No justice!

- Go back, go back! - Right, rewind.

- There she is. - Oh, my God!

I've been banned from America, banned for life.

- And the government does nothing. - Exactly, that's what I keep saying.

Ask the Home Office about Spain, they haven't got a policy.

Nothing. It's been eight weeks now.

- Don't start with this again. - Did you see today

they are not calling it a hung parliament any more.

They're calling it the Parliament of Water.

Just flows through your fingers gone!

- It's our fault we voted them in. - Well, that's helpful.

Yeah, but it's true, you know?

It just proves that democracy was a very nice idea for a while,

and now it's worn out.

Well, there's always Vivienne Rook.

- No, stop it. - Viv could smash the system.

Tell you what's weird, though, do you remember years ago,

we used to think the news was boring?

Oh, my God, golden days.

The news would come on and we'd just yawn.

Now we hide. I have to hide my eyes, literally.

It's like at school, when they tell you about the olden days,

with Sun Kings and plays and people electing pigs.

It's coming back, it's happening again.

We were lucky for a bit, born in the '80s.

We had, like, 30 years, the first 30 years of our lives.

- Couple of wars. - Yeah, all right,

but you and me, we had a nice time.

Basically, we had a really nice time.

Turns out we were born in a pause.

Oh, you see, somebody heard me relaxing.

Duty calls. I'm off.

See you Friday, yeah?

How many jobs have you got now?

11.

Here, I'll give you the hack thing.

- See you. - Bye.

OK, so take this. They are the new ones.

They've got Mo Farah on.

I don't need this, thank you very much. It's only Chinese.

Take it, though. Save your money for the kids.

You get paid tuppence at Glover's.

Well, I might not be there for long.

- Why, what are you doing? - You've been away.

I've got plans.

There she is, the beast. It cost £20,000.

If you bought that from scratch, it'd be 50,000, 60, more.

I've checked, and that's a really genuinely knock-down price.

Yeah, how come?

It's owned by Jonjo's brother and he's gone to jail,

and now they need to sell it to raise cash for his kids.

Went to jail for what?

Well, he was selling fish and chips out of this side,

and drugs out of that side, if you must know.

Oh, it's a drug dealer's van.

It's a bargain.

I've done a business plan, which they approved.

They liked it.

And you can have a look. I'm not daft.

I know are risks, and there are costs way beyond the van.

We'll have to get it all kitted out for me,

and I'll need kitchen space for prep and storage,

but Jonjo says I can have his brother's for half price.

How much, then, in total?

Well, I can get a loan and a grant, and Jonjo says they'll

knock off another 10%, but I still need 10,000.

- I haven't got that! - I don't mean from you.

- Well, what are you telling me for? - I mean from Gran.

Oh.

I just haven't asked her yet.

Oh, she'll say yes. She'll do anything for you.

I thought you were going to ask me. That's a relief.

No, I'm asking you if I can ask Gran,

because her money belongs to all of us, really.

But I need it.

Of course you can.

- Really? - Yeah.

I think it's brilliant.

I mean, it's a lot of work.

What about Stephen and Danny boy?

- Have you asked them yet? - No, I wanted to ask you first.

- But you know what Dan will say. - What?

- Can we give Viktor a job? - Oh, stop it.

Can we buy Viktor a truck?

Can we give all the money to Viktor?

You are so bad.

I know, really.

Honestly, you know.

So, tell me, who's Jonjo?
