Val tells Diane that
she’s done
some thinking and she knows that Diane isn’t interested
in Rodney.
|
Diane asks her sister to give her
away.
Val (Charlie Hardwick) quickly gets changed and putting everything
that has happened aside, Val agrees and they head off to the
church.
There are raised eyebrows when Diane
enters the church on Val’s arm. |
 |
As the ceremony commences, Jack (Clive
Hornby) and Diane are deeply emotional as they exchange
their vows. The congregation are a little confused.
Diane breaks down when
she gets to the bit in the marriage vows about ‘until
death us do part’.
Realising that she owes her guests an explanation Diane attempts
to explain why she is upset. She is unable to find the words
and Victoria joins her and tells everyone that Diane "has
a little bit of cancer in her bum" but Victoria assures everyone
Diane will be okay. |
Meanwhile, Rodney (Patrick Mower)
is unable to watch the women he loves marry another man
and leaves the service followed by Val.
|
Overcome by his unrequited love for Diane Rodney
storms out of the church. Val gets up and follows him to
the Antiques
Barn, demanding to know what Diane’s got that she hasn’t.
Devastated that she means nothing to Rodney
Val threats to reveal something that will turn his world
upside down. |
They are Man and Wife!
After the ceremony Nicola and Paul go to locate
their respective warring parents.
|
Meanwhile Andy is grateful for Debbie’s
(Charley Webb) support and he holds her close after she walks
out of the wedding (much to Charity's embarassment) complaining
of period pains (an obvious lie)
As the guests make their way
from the church Val and Rodney’s argument spills
on to the street where they meet up with the wedding
party who
are having their photos taken.
|
|
|
|
|
|
In a heated argument outside the church
Val shocks Rodney by blurting out that Paul is his son. |
|
It is in front of the whole village
that Val telsl Rodney that Paul is his son, so there are
a few shocked faces. Not least Rodney, Paul and Nicola. |
|
Paul is horrified to hear his mother’s
words and smacks Rodney in the mouth.
|
|
As Rodney goes to Paul his son punches him to the ground
|
Paul soldiers on for the
sake of his Aunt Diane and livens up the wedding reception
by taking to the stage in drag to perform as his alter
ego, Thelma Louise!
|
|
The wedding guests are
treated to Paul’s drag act. His alter ego Thelma
Louise wastes no time in ripping into his mother and newly
discovered father.
|
|
At the wedding reception Ashley receives
a call to say that Bernice has had a baby girl.
Diane leaves her own reception with
Jack and Victoria to preapre to go and see her new granddaughter.
While the villagers enjoy themselves
Rodney sits alone in tears and Val lies in a drunken stupor.
|
|
|
Thelma Louise sings Marlene
Dietrich's "Falling In Love Again, what am I to do
what am I to do ......."
Diane, meanwhile, gazes
happily at her new husband.
(as the music to "falling in Love
Again" comes to an end in the background)
JACK: "You keep staring at me"
(the music on its final note)
DIANE: "I can't help it"
Credits Roll - the end! |
