The Invisibles - Hedley quits the team
Thursday, 29 May 2008
When Young Nick's dad, Old Nick, the war hero, is tricked into selling a valuable war medal, Maurice and Syd vow to get it back, as William Ivory's action-packed comedy drama series continues.
The job runs according to plan until Hedley refuses to break down a door. Instead, he tries to open a window which sets off the alarm, forcing the boys to abort their mission.
When Maurice berates Hedley for his mistake, Hedley admits there's a problem. Helen is pregnant. He's going to be a dad. And he doesn't want to be in the gang any more. So, he's out.
Maurice and Syd try to talk Hedley round, but he's adamant. He loves the gang and thinks that if he remains in it he'll be a liability. He's thrilled about becoming a father, but worries that he has nothing to offer the child.
Maurice tells Syd it's a temporary wobble and they must do all they can to get him back on track. Syd says they should respect his wishes and accuses Maurice of harbouring some guilt about the way he acted when Barbara was pregnant.
When Hedley sees some hoodies breaking into a car outside the pub, he assumes that their father must be absent or in prison, and worries that his child will grow up to be just like that.
Determined to make a difference in the world, he signs up for a charity boxing match to raise money for the local community.
While training him, Maurice and Syd engineer a meeting with Old Nick, thus prompting Hedley to come back on board to help him – though he swears this will be the last time...
This episode is on BBC ONE Thursday 29th May 2008 @ 9-10pm.
