[Music]
i
[Music]
the
does anybody remember when they last saw
the sun
i do yes
i remember because i was walking through
the park with sean and i had to open up
the little umbrella on the pram to stop
his ball head from getting sunburned
surely i'm being serious it's been great
for the last three weeks yes depressing
isn't it it's been scientifically proven
even orthodox medicine now acknowledges
depression due to the lack of sunshine
as a medical condition it's called
seasonal adjustment disorder or sad for
short you know somebody told me 30 years
ago that it was a place outside the
arctic circle where the sun could
disappear for weeks on end i wouldn't
have believed them
much less imagine either live there
you look a bit dumb
oh mom you know alex and i were trying
to save up to go somewhere sunny and
nice on holiday right yes yeah well i
didn't get the part-time news reporter's
job i got all dressed up for last week
oh it's only a job gloria there'll be
others well i'm sick and tired of having
to work twice as hard as everybody else
just to prove them as good as they are
if not twice as good oh thank you
there's more to watch and learn you say
that that is what is called a supportive
relationship
well we didn't have them in my day all
we had was white fronts
yeah we're gonna be late uh by the way
i've done the artwork that sean wanted
me to do for his flyers where is he he
hasn't come back yet he went to some
concert last night yes with spider
your parents didn't like some of your
friends that's not true my parents
didn't like any of my friends
they like me
my father banned you from the house five
times
that's because he didn't like to admit
how much he liked me in public
when he got any stupid map fix man sean
what happened
where have you been in jail that's where
locked up for no flipping reason what
did you do mom i told you we didn't do
nothing we who's we me and spider well
well well you are a spider well there's
an old african saying
if you sleep with dogs you wake up with
fleas under your armpits
look doesn't anyone want to hear what
happened sean sean
calm down
tell me
we we were just attacking mom we just
slow down who attacked you these drunken
yobos i mean we're standing there
waiting for the night bus and they start
making monkey noises at us and yelling
abuse stuff like why you don't go back
to where you come from and rubbish like
that so what did you do
we ignored a minute but when they kept
going on that's when spider goes we will
go back to where we come from if you
monkeys will give us a tenner to get a
cat back to beckham yeah
no that's when they jumped us all 15 of
them you should have seen it man i mean
we tried our best in that i even got a
couple of good counter punches in the
ting you know spider got one lucky punch
in so sasha
why didn't you just run
we tried and in the end we did but we
got only like about 30 yards when these
two policemen saw us i thought we were
running away from the scene of a crime
yeah man and then after all night being
locked up in a cell they come to me this
morning and say oh you can go home now
like nothing ever happened i mean why do
they treat us like this they're always
coming
stop stop right there sean i don't want
to hear any of this they understand a
mistake has been made it could happen to
anybody no mom you don't want to see the
truth but i know what really happened
sean you're tired go to bed you'll feel
better when you wake up dad no
all right all right
you know what the same thing has
happened to me before
but i always thought that it was because
of my naughty bongo listen we ain't got
time for yourself right come on we're
lights
huh
does anyone want a cup of tea matthew
didn't you hear what just happened i was
only trying to ease the tension
after everybody
with my boy spider you nearly got my son
killed what's he saying
saved the man's life
i know one of them storefront security
cameras call all the action right
because i was well wicked why
you didn't see me man i was busting the
most moves
them scumbags was lucky i had to run and
catch up with sean otherwise i would
have really dealt with them
looks like you got some of them dealings
please now man all self-inflicted
angle we move sorted it
you seem to be taking this very well
spider hey that's just the kind of guy i
am i mean after it's happened to the odd
couple of times you just chill out
so where's sean oh he's in his room can
i go and see him please
do you know that's the first time you've
asked me something before you did it go
on jeez
how come none of this ever happened to
michael were we lucky with him yeah i'll
be silly surely we weren't lucky with
michael
things like that just don't happen to
him
there's one i'm making myself some coco
do you want some
charlie do you think we did the right
thing coming to england
desmond
we made a decision back then that we'd
been thinking about for a long time
things have worked out
we have a happy home
and three wonderful children don't
exaggerate surely we have three children
besides we will never know what would
have happened if we stayed in guyana
we could have done a lot worse you know
but maybe we could have done a bit
better
i wasn't really thinking about us you
know i was thinking about the children
i mean they are british
we've always thought of guyana's home
grant is part of us
and we are part of it but our children
are british it don't matter what you
call them immigrant black
afro-caribbean black british they are
british
true
i mean what happened to sean today makes
me wonder if we made the right decision
we did what we thought was right
well
maybe we should all stay there
i could open desmond's bar like i wanted
baby
