It's a Sin

But then the glint did pale and fade

and so the morning shooed his form as truth must know.

My brother dead.

His cheeks so wax and cold.

His hand upon his heart to ne'er grow old.

And now the heptarch stands without a king.

I took his life, that new life might begin.

Oh, hello Mrs Goodison.

I was just teaching Lucy some lessons.

But why are you in her bedroom?

Oh mummy, don't be silly, he's helping with my exams.

What exams would that be?

I've just been helping her with a French Letter.

Get out of my house.

But I'm very good with tongues!

The wind is getting stronger and stronger.

It is blasting you.

Feel the wind,

fight it, fight it!

And now the wind is so strong it's ripping your shirt off!

I said it's ripping your shirt off!

It's ripping your bloody shirt off!

Donald Basset.

Next is Peter Brooke-Adams.

Donald Basset.

I thought this might be your sort of place.

No, I'm just having a drink before I go back to the wife.

Whoa.

That's quite a bit of acting.

No, I'm not convinced.

Well, I got that part in The Chimney Sweep,

which means you didn't.

I know.

You stole my life.

Am I dying?

I can't answer that darling,

but have you been to a doctor?

I can't, I really can't.

I've had the same doctor all my life,

ever since I was a kid.

He knows my mum and dad.

I can't tell him this.

No, it's okay.

We've got numbers of clinics.

You don't have to use your real name,

no-one needs to know who you are, but they can help.

I promise they can help.

Oh, just come and have a quick one, Jill.

I promised I'd do a shift.

See ya Ta-ra, girls!

I can't tell anybody, I can't.

He's sick, he is really, really sick

but I can't help it!

I don't want to touch him.

Oh, right, I thought you'd done a runner.

Hello.

I've gotta get to work if you don't mind.

Sorry, what was your name again?

Rosco. What was yours?

Cassius.

Haven't got long though.

Quick shower, yeah?

Together?

Um, yeah.

I'm going this way, so thank you, Rosco.

See you round.

Yeah, I'm always in the Bruce.

I work there.

I'm sort of under manager if you wanna find me.

Yeah, I don't often go to that part of town to be honest.

Slummin' it last night?

A little.

That's okay.

Bye then.

And what's for tea tonight then?

Might get some chips on the way home.

You should have proper food.

Long day's work, good meal at the end of it,

fortifies the soul.

Oh, I meant to say, Colin, I've been considering.

Now I'm very happy with you overall

and I think you're enjoying yourself, am I right?

Oh very much, yeah.

It's great.

I could, hand over a bit more responsibility.

What do you think?

I don't mind, yeah.

I was thinking...

He said I can have a set of keys so I can get in at 8.30,

before him and open up for the day.

So what's that, promotion?

Do you get more money?

Are you like a manager now?

No.

So what does it mean?

It means I can open up at 8.30.

Oh my god, Gladys,

your life is too exciting, you are killing me.

I've had sex with a millionaire,

but you've gone and beaten me.

Colin, you are hilarious.

But I'm proud of my keys.

I remember Gladys Pew

once had a cup of tea and it didn't have any milk in it,

it was so thrilling.

Like being on a roller coaster.

Wow, you don't take prisoners in this house, do you?

We're off.

Where are you tonight?

Uh, we might go to Supernatural.

Donald says his mate Chris goes there,

he knows Boy George.

He can get us into the VIP area.

Come on, sweetheart.

We're off, bye.

Bye.

Sweetheart?

Who says fucking sweetheart?

Are they boyfriends?

He said he'd never have a boyfriend.

I know Boy George, look at me.

We can't call him Donald.

What does Donald become?

Doreen? Dora?

Diana?

Dolly?

- Daisy? - Isla St Clair.

Why Isla St Clair?

He looks like her, around the eyes,

I was thinkin'.

Colin wins with Isla St Clair.

That makes Richie, Larry Grayson.

That's it, that is it.

That's it Oh my...

That's dope.

This is what I like to see.

Everything up and running.

Good morning.

I'll have a cup of tea if you don't mind thank you, Colin.

Oh, it's colder than I thought.

Said on the news last night 14 degrees.

That can't be right.

Feels more like nine or ten.

Here I am, hold on.

Oh, it was a hell of a drive.

I couldn't stop thinking.

Any news?

He's okay.

Don't worry, I saw him, he's fine.

He's sitting up in bed.

I'll have words with him.

I'll give him a good clip, scaring me.

Doctor said you can have a fit just once and that's it.

Like a storm, it comes and goes.

She said they don't really understand it.

But you can have one fit

and never have another one ever again.

What causes it though?

There's no epilepsy in the family.

I'll ask your Auntie Jean,

but I don't think there was any on your dad's side,

not that I know.

Doctor said it's electricity in the brain.

It sort of goes zap.

Not being rude, but if we're gonna make it back in time...

Oh God, yes, we promised, sorry.

Will you be all right?

Where's your hotel?

It's the same B&B as last time.

It's got access for me, they're nice people.

I'll be fine.

I'll stay and give you a hand.

I just grabbed a few of your t-shirts and things.

What's the plan?

Well, if I'm all right,

they said they'll discharge me tomorrow.

Then I'll take you back to Bringoth.

Your boss said you can have a fortnight off.

I think he was embarrassed

because you wet yourself on the carpet.

Okay, mum.

And that kinda stain takes a bit of cleaning,
