Look what he did!...I tried to escape..but he grabbed me...i was scared for my life, believe me! I didn't know what he was going to do!
Geoff: So you thought you'd kill him?!
Vicky: I hit him that's all! Just a smack over the head with a candlestick, he hit the floor but when i left he had a pulse and I called an ambulance.
Marian: Oh how noble of you! :rolleyes:
Nick: Look! No matter what you think, she wasn't responsible for that fire!
Geoff: Well maybe if he hadn't a chunk of his head smashed off, he might have been able to escape the fire!
Nick: She hit him in self defence! You can see the neck marks! What more proof do you want?!
Marian: I don't care for proof! My son is dead! (to Vicky) And as far as i'm concerned, you so good as killed him!

INTERCUT:
EXT. SINGHS' HOUSE - NIGHT
A taxi pulls up outside the Singh's house. Out steps Karinder Singh, an elderly woman - mother to Kash and Iqbal.
Granny: Well are you going to get those bags or what!?
Driver: It's not my job darling...
Granny: Incase you haven't noticed, I am an elderly woman!
The Driver reluctantly gets out of the driver seat, and moodily picks up her bags.
Driver: That's £13.50 please...
Granny: £13.50!? That's an outrage! I've only been in this taxi for ten minutes!
Driver: I'm sorry lady, that's the fare...
Granny: My name is Mrs Singh, not "lady". Here take this...
Karinder hands the Driver £15.
Driver: Thanks for that...
Granny: Where are you going? You owe me some change...
Driver: But I thought this was a tip?
Granny: I said no such thing! A tip!? Of all the cheak! First you charge me extorniate prices and then hesitate in helping me with my luggage!
Driver: I'm sorry but I don't have any change...
Granny: Oh keep it then you cretenious little man! I shall be making a complaint to your superior! Good day to you!
Granny walks down the garden path and knocks on the Singh's front door. The front door opens, when Iqbal sees who it is, he goes as pale as a ghost. Sanjita walks out into the hallway.
Sanjita: Who is babe...oh god...Karinder...
Granny: Andonis had told me all about what's been going on, it's about time this family was kicked in to shape...
Sanjita and Iqbal look at one another, horrified.
-
With the Singh family is total disarray, there's only one person to sort out the problems - the dreaded Granny Singh. Mentioned but never before seen, Granny Singh is a stubborn old battle-axe, who disapproves of her families loose morals and disrespect of the family name, the apple doesn't fall from the tree, she is essentially an older and wiser version of Kash!

Mother in law from hell has just arrived!!!!!!!!!

EXT. CEMETARY - DAY
Marian: I don't care for proof! My son is dead! (to Vicky) And as far as i'm concerned, you so good as killed him!

Nick moves away, Vicky follows him trying to take Daniel with her, but he wont move.
Vicky: Come on Daniel, stop being so silly...
Geoff: Can't you see he's scared rigid of you!
Vicky: I'm his mother for Christ's sake!
Marian: You're unfit to be! You're violent and a compulsive liar!
Vicky slaps Marian around the face.
Vicky: You spiteful old witch!
Marian: Go on! Hit me again! Give me more reasons to report you to social services!
Vicky: You wouldn't dare!
Marian: You just watch me! I've seen my son die of you, I'll be damned if the same happens to my grandson!
Nick: This is ridcilous, Vicky isn't like this! You're being unfair!
Geoff: Ok here's fairness for you...Daniel son, do you want to stay with us or go back home with your mom?
Daniel: I want to stay with you and nan...
Marian: There you go!
Vicky: This is madness! You have no rights to him! Where the hell have you been all his life!? He's seen you all of two times!
Marian: We'd have helped raise him if you'd ever let us know about him...and now we wish we had, the poor boy is terrifed of you...
Vicky begins to cry, unable to handle the situation that is unfolding.
Marian: We're gonna take him away to Scotland, and if you dare stop us we'll tell the police exactly what happened between you and Kyle that night!

EXT/INT. SINGH'S HOUSE - NIGHT
Sanjita: Who is babe...oh god...Karinder...
Granny: Andonis had told me all about what's been going on, it's about time this family was kicked in to shape...
Sanjita and Iqbal look at one another, horrified.
Granny: Well are you going to let me in or what?
Iqbal: Ok...we weren't expecting you though...
Granny barges in through the front door and puts her things on the floor before entering the living room. Iqbal and Sanjita follow.
Granny: Now what i've been hearing from Andonis is absolutely terrible! You are a disgrace to the Singh name and have brought shame to the family, living in sin and sending Kash to his grave!
Sanjita: He brought it on himself with his bigoted ways! But what do you expect with you as a mother?!
Granny slaps Sanjita hard across the face. Iqbal tries to intervene but she whacks him with her walking stick.
Granny: The pair of you disgrace me! How do you have the nerve to remain together?! She is your brother's wife!
Sanjita: Ex wife!
Granny: Divorce doesn't exist in our faith! Legally you might not be his wife, but spiritually you are his forever.
Iqbal: I don't have to listen to this rubbish! Come on, get out! You old witch!
Granny: No way! I'm staying!
Sanjita: Oh no, your not!
Granny: This is Kash's house, not yours, you have no right to say who does and does not stay here! Am I right Andonis?!
Andonis smiles and nods in agreement.
Granny: You might not like what I have to say but your gonna to bloody listen to it! It's about time this family was sorted out!....Now where am I sleeping?!

Nick: Kyle's parents..
Rebecca: Well i'll call the police!

Now Kyle's parents are going to take him to Scotland, and if i try and stop them, they are going to go to the police and tell them what happened between me and Kyle that night!
Rebecca: You silly silly girl!
Vicky: Do you think I don't know that!? I've had it on my conscience since it happened and now i've lost Daniel because of it!
Rebecca: He'll be fine in a couple of days..

Iqbal: Oh I suppose you think this is funny don't you?
Sanjita: What were you playing at 'Don?
Andonis: She has every right to know what's been going on...
Sanjita: We could do without her here, causing trouble...
Andonis: She isn't causing trouble, she's just speaking the truth, the pair of you disgust me...
Sanjita tries to swing for Andonis but he steps out of range.
Andonis: Go on then! Hit me you bitch!
Iqbal: Don't speak to your mother like that!
Sanjita: What did I ever do for you to hate me this much!?
Andonis: Give birth to me!? Treat my father like crap!? Disrespect his name!?
Iqbal: Oh for god's sake, what rubbish are you spouting?
Andonis: The right stuff! Deny it all you like, but you know it's the truth! (To Sanjita) You're a shame to your religion and your family, I wish you weren't my mother!

Vicky: Will he though?
Nick: I promise you...

INT. SINGH'S HOUSE - MORNING
Sanjita and Iqbal talk about Andonis and Granny.
Sanjita: I can't believe he said that to me! He sounded just like Kash then, he had such a look of hatred in his eyes when he looked at me!
Iqbal: Don't beat yourself up about it...it's just his way of dealing with Kash's death.
Sanjita: It's not right to take it out on me and it don't help having her here! I swear to god that woman has hated me since day one! How dare she think she can share the same roof as me?! I swear to god…
Granny walks in and interrupts.
Granny: You’ll go to hell talking like that! But the pair of you are already going there, adulterers!
Iqbal: Look, whilst your under this roof...
Granny: (interrupting) I won't take orders from you! I'm ashamed to call you my son!
Iqbal: I don't know what you hope to achieve, spreading your misery and morals! We aren't gonna change our ways, so if that's your agenda, you might as well go now!
Granny: You have no shame do you?! Speaking to me like this! I will go when i'm good and ready! First, i have to bury my son, the son you both drove to his grave!

Granny: Don't let him bully you into anything Andonis, I agree with you all the way, she is unfit to be called a mother!

Iqbal: I can't believe the ordasity of you! Insulting us to our face! What the hell makes you think you have the right!?

Granny: Pretty low ones to let you in. (Turns to Andonis) Do you have everything sorted for the burial Andonis?
Andonis: Everything but the wake...
Granny: What is the problem?
Andonis: No one will hold it...
Sanjita: I wonder why :rolleyes:
Granny: What about the local public house!? Surely they would hold a wake for us?
Andonis: They refused...
Granny: How dare they! He was an upstanding member of the local community, I shall go speak to them!
Andonis: No Gran, don't...
Granny: No, I must go and sort this out straight away...
Andonis: Please Gran! You don't want to be doing that!

Amy: He raped two women and attacked a third! You call that a good man!?
Granny: You are talking nonsense!
Amy: Say that to Emma Andrews or Sanjita! Your son was a perverted scumbag and i'm glad he's dead! Now get the hell out of my pub!

Granny: This is a travesty! You're a whore, unfit for anything of my son's!
Iqbal: I don't think it even starts to cover what he owes her for all the hell he's put her through!
Granny: I will contest it! Drag your sordid little secrets out into a court of law! Give this house to it's rightful owner - Andonis!
Iqbal: You're a deluded old bag, you can't see what he was can you!? He was evil, and for someone who preaches right and wrong, you should disown him!

Iqbal: Oh shut up!
Andonis: No I won’t! She’s your mother!
Iqbal: Oh so it’s ok for you to speak to your mother like that!? But when it comes to the holy and righteous Karinda Singh, I have to treat her like royalty!
Andonis: All she did was stand up for what was right, unlike you two!
Iqbal: Enough of this Andonis! It ends today! We are not going to live with you and these comments! Get over the fact that Kash did bad things! We’re just trying to move on, settle down and be happy!
Andonis: Over my dead body!
Iqbal: What was that?!

INT. HAIRDRESSERS - BAYMOORE LESUIRE CENTRE - DAY
Gavin is cutting a clients hair, well away in conversation, enjoying the job. Val is sat at the reception desk having a cup of coffee.
Steven (Andrew Lynford) walks into the salon, carrying a breifcase full of shampoo products. He speaks with a certain campness to his voice.
Steven: Valerie Andrews I take it!?
Val: Who wants to know?
Steven: Steven Michaud, you're new salon rep!
Val: Oh right I didn't realise that Laurence...
Steven: He only bagged himself a fittie in Magaluf, now he's uped sticks and become a holiday rep instead! Lucky swine!
Val looks over at Gavin for a second, before re-focusing her attentions on Stephen.
Val: I don't mean to sound impersonal but are you gay?
Stephen: I'm selling shampoo to hairdressers, what do you think darling?
Val: Oh that's super! See my friend over there! He's a gay man too!
Stephen looks over at Gavin, impressed, he discretley licks his lips.
Stephen: Really, two "gay men" in the same county, who'd have thought it? :rolleyes:
Val: Oh I didn't mean it like that. You two should go on a date!
Stephen: Oh I don't know about that!
Val: Nonsense. Gavin! Over here a second!
Gavin makes his aplogises to his client and walks over.
Val: I've just bagged you a date with the lovely Stephen here!
Gavin: You what!?
Val: He's gay too, how lucky is that? I mean if he wasn't I'd snap him up in a jiffy!
Gavin and Stephen are both embarassed by the situation and don't know where to look.
Stephen: I think I might come back another time, becuase this is just awkward...
Val: Oh would you sweetie? That'd be fab!
Gavin: I'm sorry about her, she's on the menopause...
Stephen chuckles to himself as he walks away. Gavin casts Val a look of disaproval before returning to his client.
-
The chalk to Gavin's cheese, Stephen and Gavin are first introduced to one another as a result of Val's hideous match making. Stephen is slighly camp and likes to flaunt his sexuality in everyone's faces. He immediatley finds himself attracted to Gavin, will it become a case of opposities attracting?

The boys at college are checking out Hannah as she and Andonis grab some lunch.
Hannah: (to Andonis) Have I got a zit on my nose or something?!
Andonis: No, they just think your hot!
Hannah: Jeez! Anyone would think they weren’t getting any!
Andonis: It’s not often that fit girls show up in Devon, you’re something of a rarity.
Hannah: (laughing) “Fit”! How old are you!?
Andonis: Sorry…
Hannah: Don’t be! I can’t help it if I am!
Andonis laughs at her.
Andonis: So how are you settling in?
Hannah: As much as to be expected....everything is so alien, everyone already has their friendship groups, they don’t want to let me in!
Andonis: You’ve got me!
Hannah: Is that just because I’m “fit”?!
