##### ALLO ALLO. NOUS SOMMES PAS CHEZ NOUS. LAISSEZ-VOUS UNE MESSAGE, SâIL VOUS PLAIT. HELLO HELLO. WE ARE NOT AT THE HOUSE OF US! LEAVE YOU A MESSAGE IF IT PLEASES YOU!
Mum. Iâm at Gatwick okay itâs five in the morning. I keep trying your number but no oneâs ever there. I only got the message last night and there wasnât a night flight so I spent the night here and my flightâs at eight Iâll be there by lunch I come into Nice. No one has to meet me Iâll get a taxi someone lent me some money I have the address.
Look Mum I only know heâs alive because I got through to a hospital, like the fifth one I tried and all in French how resourceful is that? That was pretty horrible Mum. It wouldâve been nice if youâd, well, anyway.
They said he was asleep and youâd gone home for a rest but I tried and you werenât there, I suppose you had the machine on mute or something. Please try and call me if you get this message. Please make it a sort of priority for you.
I only didnât pick up the phone because the TV people picked it up but thatâs all over like you said, it was a nine-day wonder. Well, twenty-nine but still. Iâm just going to come down and help okay? Okay. Bye.

Thank God! Wow, bloody hell thank God for that!
He had an âischaemicâ something, I wrote it down. It happens to people his age. Well, him anyway. Heâs asleep in hospital in Nice. My mumâs . . . somewhere.
You must be so relieved Suse.
I saw you on the show.
Right. How come you didnât know about my dad then.
They didnât mention your dad.
What?
They didnât mention him.
Okay. Well they didnât give me the message for five hours so thatâs par for the course. What did they say.
They said it was over.
Drop Dead Gorgeous is over?
No, your bit, The Babe in Bed Forever is over. They just showed you walking out of the door with that girl
Roberta
Roberta de Coex, with your suitcase.
She helped me pack, she gave me a lift. She was crying, I just stared out the window. It was like, cue the rain.
They showed the car going into the distance, and through the rain on the windows that big fat bloke you know your ex?
Oh for fuckâs sake
He was rocking back and forward
Points
Yeah Points he seemed pretty down.
