And now all the change stress is gone, because I have here ready changing boxes, bubble wrap, knuckles, pens, books. But we're not changing anywhere, what the hell? I heard that your youngest is changing. So Vesa gets his own room from upstairs. Aha, okay, well then I should be a little worried about you packing the dishes. So you're doing what? I can't thank you, because in fact.

MUSIC

Chris (likely Chris Carter) - Unknown actor 1:21

Rex, you're not serious. You've got to have more stuff than that.

Harrison (Chris Carter) - identified as Harrison 1:25

No, not really. I mean, look, there's no point in me bringing any of my kitchen stuff to yours, is there?

Chris (likely Chris Carter) - Unknown actor 1:30

Well, no, I know. Right, well, come on then. Let's see what's in the box. What are you bringing with you? Oh, of course. Your 2003 England World Cup rugby ball.

Harrison (Chris Carter) - identified as Harrison 1:41

Signed by the whole team. I'm not leaving that behind.

Chris (likely Chris Carter) - Unknown actor 1:43

Well, I don't blame you. What else? A few CDs. Killers, Mumford and Sons, Fellowhead. Only my favourites. Sophie Ellis-Spexter.

Harrison (Chris Carter) - identified as Harrison 1:55

What? Murder on the Dance Floor is a banger.

Chris (likely Chris Carter) - Unknown actor 1:58

Oh, I see. That's the reason you like cats. Why else? You know, I've got this thing called Broadband back at my place. You can stream music there. I know, I know. Oh, wait, what's this? I don't think I've seen this before.

Harrison (Chris Carter) - identified as Harrison 2:13

Ah, yeah, that's my grandfather's poultry ledger.

Chris (likely Chris Carter) - Unknown actor 2:16

Excuse me? It's what?

Harrison (Chris Carter) - identified as Harrison 2:18

You know, George Fairbrother. From when he owned the old estate. Hey, have a look inside. It's really interesting. He only kept hens until the end of 1952, but everything's in there. Hatching log, daily egg tallies, veterinary records.

Chris (likely Chris Carter) - Unknown actor 2:29

So this is his handwriting?

Harrison (Chris Carter) - identified as Harrison 2:31

No, no. When I say he kept hens, someone else did the actual work. Though I think the entries towards the end might be my Aunt Grace. Oh, wow. Yeah, it reminds me of when Toby and I first moved to Ambridge and farmed geese. Oh, of course. Yeah, it's like coming full circle.

Chris (likely Chris Carter) - Unknown actor 2:46

Well, I'll have to have a proper look later.

Harrison (Chris Carter) - identified as Harrison 2:48

Sure. Right, let's get this stuff back to yours.

Chris (likely Chris Carter) - Unknown actor 2:50

I guess the only thing left to do now is tart this place up.

Harrison (Chris Carter) - identified as Harrison 2:54

Yeah, I suppose.

Chris (likely Chris Carter) - Unknown actor 2:55

Rex! What? I said you're right. I'm not suggesting you need to paint roses and castles and everything, but if you're going to rent it out to holidaymakers, though, it does need to look nice.

Harrison (Chris Carter) - identified as Harrison 3:05

Yeah, I've got to get the mooring licence changed first. Ready?

Chris (likely Chris Carter) - Unknown actor 3:09

No, hold on. Just one sec.

Harrison (Chris Carter) - identified as Harrison 3:11

What, have I forgotten something?

Chris (likely Chris Carter) - Unknown actor 3:12

No. I just wanted to say, I know how much you love this boat, so thank you for giving it up for me. I'm really excited about us living together.

Harrison (Chris Carter) - identified as Harrison 3:23

So am I.

Chris (likely Chris Carter) - Unknown actor 3:27

I've bought steak, by the way, to mark you officially moving into the nest.

Harrison (Chris Carter) - identified as Harrison 3:31

Oh, amazing.

Chris (likely Chris Carter) - Unknown actor 3:32

Do you need help to carry that box? Oh, sorry.

What happens when Rex and his partner pack up the boat and discover family keepsakes?

Chris (likely Chris Carter) - Unknown actor 3:35

Hang on. Oh, it's a message from Fallon. Oh. She's asking if I'm free this evening. She's wondering if she can come round.

Harrison (Chris Carter) - identified as Harrison 3:48

No, not at all, Chris, mate. Come on through. Cheers, Harrison. I'm just, er, finishing my dinner. Not long be back from work. No worries. What you having? Oh, it's a Thai red curry. That smells amazing. Yeah. Just grabbed it out of the freezer. Fella made it. Right. Listen, I'm sorry about the cricket. Oh, no. No, I just weren't up to it. Mate, as if that matters. Just wish you'd let me know what was going on. I know. I should have done. So what's happened? Eh? I couldn't believe it when Fallon told me. You can't really be splitting up. You're like the perfect couple. Clearly we aren't. OK, maybe not perfect, but you and Fallon, you're made for each other. Perhaps that's why I didn't tell you. How do you mean? Well, it's hard, disillusioning people when they've got a certain idea of you.

Harrison (Chris Carter) - identified as Harrison 4:39

I haven't even told my folks yet. I keep picking up the phone to ring them and then I just... check it out. But I'm kind of realising that's what I do. I stick my head into them. Oh, mate. It's all right, I'm all right. Yeah, I know. Hey, it's not like you weren't there for me when I was going through it with Alice. It's my turn. Come on. Tell me, what's been going on?
