Synopsis: Robin, a gay writer, has his script declined by a television executive whilst school-boy Theo stalks his neighbour Tim, on whom he spies through the window. Terry, who lives with his grandmother, prepares for a night out whilst professionals Gavin and Will celebrate a civil partnership though faithless Will flirts with young waiter Alfie, giving him his ring. Terry picks a man up at a gay club, inexplicably giving him a savage beating-up. Robin goes cruising in a toilet meeting the closeted Julian, before going on to a dinner party with married friends. To Robin's surprise Julian also turns up, having hidden in a cubicle whilst Alfie was pursued and attacked by gay bashers. Terry finds the severely injured waiter but rather than help him steals Will's ring. The dinner party guests, who also number Theo's parents, see the ambulance draw up for Alfie but Julian refuses to tell the police what he saw, to Robin's dismay. Terry himself is also beaten up and treated in hospital by Gavin, who

Very nice. I love that part of the world.

- You've never been, have you?

- Somewhere up north, isn't it?

- Help yourself.

- No, no. Not when I'm on duty.

It's my wedding.

- It's a beautiful ring.

- We had them made specially.

- He must think the world of you.

- It's too big though. The jeweller f***ed up.

- Could have it altered.

- You don't wanna go loosing it.

You're right there.

Gotta watch your ring, haven't you?

- Y'know that's incredible.

- What is?

This wedding. I never, ever thought

I'd live to see the day...

...two blokes getting married. I mean,

it's just fantastic, isn't it?

I suppose it is.

Gavin and I have lived together for so long.

Yeah, it is pretty fantastic.

- You're blushing.

- It's hot.

No, no, I'd better get back.

Where have you been?

I was expecting you ages ago!

- I had to go to the library.

- Christ, we're gonna be late as usual.

Darling, use a glass.

You will be allright, won't you?

Of course I will.

Why don't you go and

see Benjy or someone?

I don't like the thought of you being by yourself

and it is going to be such a lovely night.

- Mum, I'll be fine.

- Got that gorgeous humous which you like...

- ...and some lovely yummy fresh baguette from.

- Mum, I'm OK.

Oh, I know you are darling.

Must go and put a face on.

If your father calls tell him to get his arse in gear

- Not going, are you?

- Yeah, I'm finished.

- Pity.

- End of my shift.

I'll tell you what.

I'm living with a mate at the moment,

south of the river, ...

...but I'm moving into my own

pad next week.

I mean it's only rented, like,

but I'm really excited.

- I bet.

- I left home, made the move to London, ...

...got my own job and then

my own pad. Brilliant.

Brilliant.

So what is this place then?

Pantry.

- What did they use it for?

- ++++.

You're full of it, aren't you?

I just love London. Always knew

I would and you know something?

- What?

- I do.

Charlie with the groom, ...

- ...I'll lose my job.

- Not with me behind you.

Christ, I'd like to lick the hairs

on the back of your neck.

You just got married.

You should have other things on your mind.

You going somewhere nice

for your honeymoon, then?

Eventually.

Gav's back to work tomorrow.

- What is he do?

- He makes people better.

- What do you do?

- I just make money.

Will you be missed?

- Not here?

- Where then?

- We shouldn't be doing this.

- Come on.

As honest as the day is long, huh?

Don't want to end up lonely, Tel.

No Nan.

I've got you ain't I?

Who are you going to have?

- I'm worried for you.

- I'll be alright, Nan.

I do. I worry for you.

Leave it out, Nan.

We all need someone, darling.
