Although slightly peaved that the staff seem to be taking his redundancy in their stride, David's spirits remain high as he plans his future while also being interviewed for an article in 'Inside Paper'. Tim takes drastic action when he learns that Dawn has resigned in order to move to the USA with boyfriend Lee. However, when David is told that his services as a motivational speaker are also no longer required he sinks to his lowest ebb and begs Neil to reconsider the dismissal. But is it too late?

  • Unofficial title: Interview edit »
  • David: Life is just a series of peaks and troughs. And you don't know whether you're in a trough until you're climbing out, or on a peak until you're coming down. And that's it you know, you never know what's round the corner. Er, but it's all good, you know. "If you want the rainbow, you've gotta put up with the rain." Do you know which 'philosopher' said that? Dolly Parton! And people say she's just a big pair of tits. edit »
  • Dawn: A real relationship isn't like a fairy tale. I f you think that for the next forty years, every time you see each other you're going to glow, or, you know, every time you hold hands there's going to be electricity, then, you're kidding yourself really, you know? What about reliability, or er, someone paying the mortgage, or someone who's never been out of work. Those are the more important, practical things, you know? In reality. edit »

    David: David quipped, "Why buy a book when you can join a library?" edit »
  • David: I can wake up one morning and go "Ooh, I don't feel like working today, can I just stay in bed?" "Ooh, don't know, better ask the boss." "David can I stay in bed all day?" "Yes you can David." (laughs) Both me, I'm not-- That's not me in bed with another bloke called David. edit »
  • David: I don't look upon this like it's the end, I look upon it like it's moving on, you know? It's almost like my work here's done, you know? I can't imagine Jesus going "Oh, I've told a few people here in Bethlehem I'm the son of God, can I just stay here with Mum and Dad now?" "No! You gotta move on. You gotta spread the word. You gotta go to Nazareth, please." And that's, very much like... me. edit »
  • David: I don't think you'll win a Pulitzer for filth.
    The Pulitzer Prize is a literary award given out in journalism and in arts and letters each April in the United States. edit »
