As ever. Lets do it.
Lets play Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?
Who wrote the phrase "No man is an island"?
John Donne? John Milton?
John F. Kennedy?
Jon Bon Jovi?
Jon Bon Jovi. Too easy.
And, if I may say so, a complete load of bollocks.
In my opinion, all men are islands.
And whats more, nows the time to be one.
This is an island age.
A hundred years ago, you had to depend on other people.
No one had TV or CDs or DVDs or videos...
...or home espresso makers.
Actually, they didnt have anything cool.
Whereas now, you see...
...you can make yourself a little island paradise.
With the right supplies and the right attitude...
...you can be sun-drenched, tropical, a magnet...
...for young Swedish tourists.
Hi, its Kristina. I havent heard from you.
I had a great time last weekend. So give me a call, okay? Bye.
And I like to think that perhaps I am that kind of island.
I like to think Im pretty cool.
I like to think Im Ibiza.
There were people who had a good time in life.
I was beginning to realize I wasnt one of them.
I just didnt fit.
I didnt fit at my old school.
I definitely didnt fit at my new one.
I heard that some kids got taught by their parents at home.
Mum couldnt do that, unless I paid her to teach me.
Because it was just her and me. And she went to work.
She made 400 pounds a week.
Where was I gonna get that kind of money from?
Maybe if I was like that movie kid, Haley Joel Osment...
...I could pay her that much.
But if that meant being good at drama, forget it.
I was crap at drama.
Cause I hated standing up in front of people.
So, basically, I had to go to school.
The sad fact is that, like any island dweller...
...from time to time I had to visit the mainland.
This is Imogene. You can hold her if you like.
Thats... Well, okay.
Yeah. Got her. Lovely.
Yeah, shes delightful, isnt she?
I know. Isnt she?
To tell the truth, Im being crap with her.
You better take her back.
She couldve been yours if you got your act together.
Just think of that, yeah.
So, the place is looking really nice.
Barney, Barney, Barney.
Say hello to Will, Barney.
Here we go. Its the Antichrist.
Hello, Barney. How are you?
-Hes lovely. -Yeah.
And what about you, Will? Any desire for a family of your own yet?
Id rather eat Barneys nappies.
Not really. Im sort of all right as I am.
Please, Will.
What does that mean? "Please" what?
Look at yourself.
Youre 38 and youve never had a job...
...or a relationship that lasted longer than two months.
I wouldnt exactly say you were okay.
I mean, I would say you were a disaster.
I mean, what is the point of your life?
Bloody hell.
Youre right. Theres probably no point to my life...
...but thank you for bringing it up.
The reason we wanted you to come here today was we wanted to ask you...
...how would you like to be Imogenes godfather?
Seriously? Seriously.
Listen, Im really, really touched.
But you must be joking.
I couldnt possibly think of a worse godfather for Imogene.
You know me. Ill drop her at her christening.
Ill forget her birthdays until her 18th, when Ill take her out and get her drunk...
...and possibly, lets face it, you know, try and shag her.
I mean, seriously, its a very, very bad choice.
We know, I just thought you had hidden depths.
No. No. Youve always had that wrong.
I really am this shallow.
Here we are.
You know you dont have to walk me to school anymore now, Mum.
I know the way now.
But what if I like walking you to school?
Right.
Who are you?
Im me.
And what are you not?
A sheep.
Right. And what does a sheep go?
Marcus?
I love you.
Look.
I love you, too.
"I love you, Marcus!"
"Love you!"
Look at him!
While I couldnt accept the offer...
...to become their childs godfather...
...I did allow them to set me up with Angie, a rather beautiful coworker of Christines.
They had, however, being them, neglected to tell me one thing.
Theres something you dont know about me.
Yeah?
Something exciting?
I think so, yes.
I have a 3-year-old boy.
I wanted to throw the napkin on the floor, push over the table and run.
Brilliant. I love kids.
Yeah. I like messing about with them.
Doing kid things.
Id have been disappointed if you didnt have a child.
Why do you say that?
God knows.
Mainly because it sounded smooth and winning.
Because I love kids so much. Theyre so lovely.
What in Gods name are you saying, you idiot?
She cant be buying this rubbish.
But she did buy my rubbish.
And for the next few weeks I was suddenly Will the Good Guy.
Her kid took to me, mainly because on our first meeting...
...I took him to the zoo and held him upside down by his ankles.
I wish relationships with proper humans were that easy.
You know, you are brilliant.
I came to realize that with single mums...
...particularly ones whod been badly treated...
...and eventually abandoned by the father of their children, you became by comparison...
You are a wonderful person
