We all had tea and something to eat and then we decided to watch a few more I was sitting next to rose and Clara with river next to Clara and bill on the beanbag leaning against my legs the video started it said knock knock  hmm I said confused

[Bill's front door]

(Knock knock on a lovely brass knocker. Music is playing, which the subtitles tell me is Weird People by Little Mix.
Bill opens the door and hugs her visitor, who then introduces her companions.)
Oh bill said gasping so this is an eyebrows one Clara said grinning
BILL: Hey.
SHIREEN: So, Felicity
FELICITY: Hi.
SHIREEN: Harry.
HARRY: Hello.
(Surnames supposed to be Sullivan, but it is never mentioned. Shame.)
SHIREEN: Pavel
PAVEL: Hi.
SHIREEN: Paul. Everyone, this is Bill, your new housemate. (to Paul) Be nice.
(General laughter, Bill closes the door behind them.)
So your all moving in together rose said looking confused yeah bill said smirking
[Estate agents]

ESTATE AGENT: Six bedrooms?
PAVEL: I've got audio equipment, so some extra space would be good.
FELICITY: I'd quite like underfloor heating.

[House for sale]

(The first house is a tiny thing sandwiched between two normal sized terraces. Got to love CGI - I hope.)
ESTATE AGENT: This is bedroom five.
PAUL: It hasn't got a door.
ESTATE AGENT: And bedroom six is through there.
(Basically an alcove separated from the passageway to the back door by a bead curtain.)

[Second house]

ESTATE AGENT: As you can see, this offers more space.
(It is next door to a cement factory, and there is a pile of fly-tipped rubbish within yards of the front door. The site siren sounds.)

[Street]

(Leaving the Estate Agents. Moginie James at the end of Sneyd Street Cardiff in real life.)
SHIREEN: What do other people do?
BILL: Other people have money.
(They are approached by a kindly grey-haired old man. )
LANDLORD: Forgive me, but are you looking for somewhere to live?
Don't trust him everyone yelled making bill and me stare at each other knowingly

[Outside the House]

(The old man pushes open a pair of magnificent wrought iron gates with some ivy growing over them.)
FELICITY: Oh, wow!
PAUL: Oh, mate, check out the tower.
(The gravel driveway leads to a magnificent Victorian pile with a tower at the back.)
LANDLORD: I'm afraid the tower is unsafe.
Suspicious much I heard river say to Amy
[Hallway]

SHIREEN: Bill, look at it!
BILL: Yeah, but why's it so cheap?
(The boys are coming back down the stairs.)
PAVEL: This place is great. The rooms are huge! Can I move in tonight? My halls are kicking me out.
LANDLORD: Yes. Yes, of course. So, you'll sign the contract?
ALL EXCEPT BILL: Yes!
FELICITY: Of course.
(The contract is laid out on a small table with a tiny stuffed crocodile on it.)
SHIREEN: Bill?
(She doesn't look sure. The Landlord smiles at her encouragingly.
Later that night, as thunder and lightning crashes around the sky, Pavel walks in with his belongings. A floorboard creaks under his foot, so he stops and makes it creak again.)
I feel sick Martha said looking pale
PAVEL: (sotto) Wicked!
(He goes upstairs. The plaster is missing from part of the wall near his room, showing the underlying lathes.)

[Pavel's room]

(Pavel splices a power cable into the lightbulb one, then goes to his record turntable, blows any fluff off the stylus and places it carefully in the groove. Violin music plays. Sonata No.1 in G Minor by Itzhak Perlman.
Then he secures the internal window shutters, and hears a floorboard creaking outside. He looks down the passageway, but the lightning shows there is no one there, just the bookcases at the end. He goes back into his room, out of our sight.)
PAVEL [OC]: What? No, no! No, no! Stop!
(The record skips a little.)
PAVEL: Stop!
(He screams, and the door slams shut on us. Cue the titles.)
Oh god rose said jumping making me smirk at her
[Bill's home]
