{760}{785}Five years ago,
{798}{864}we were all very|excited about Mars.
{936}{989}Scientists had|proved the existence
{992}{1035}of liquid water on its surface.
{1112}{1136}A year later,
{1150}{1218}we were all even more|excited by the news
{1223}{1278}that the Martian|atmosphere was warming.
{1311}{1379}Everybody was|talking about Mars.
{1457}{1515}And then, nothing.
{1560}{1617}The rapidly strengthening|magnetic fields
{1623}{1652}created a dead zone.
{1658}{1709}There were no signals|from our satellites,
{1713}{1753}no transmissions|from our rovers.
{1791}{1815}Nothing.
{1856}{1880}So...
{1907}{1945}in twelve month's time,
{1976}{2013}Macmillan Enterprises
{2016}{2097}will be launching|'Initiative One'.
{2118}{2191}Twenty-five, incredible pioneers
{2203}{2279}will journey to|humanity's new frontier.
{2311}{2335}Twelve women.
{2362}{2386}Twelve men.
{2412}{2445}And here's the interesting bit.
{2485}{2528}'Seat 25',
{2547}{2635}the one-way ticket to a|new life, on a new world.
{2681}{2749}One of you wonderful people
{2798}{2864}will be the winner of 'Seat 25'.
{2910}{2964}If you think you|deserve this chance,
{2996}{3022}then contact me,
{3046}{3079}let me know why.
{3120}{3176}And to all of you who|choose to apply,
{3202}{3226}I say...
{3262}{3332}the very best of luck.
{4950}{4974}This is Faye,
{4985}{5010}or, Faye Banks.
{5035}{5059}This is her life,
{5068}{5123}or at least, her life so far.
{5153}{5211}Faye remembers, she didn't|always feel like this,
{5232}{5281}but what 'this' is and|how she used to feel,
{5287}{5330}she isn't quite sure anymore.
{5364}{5417}This is Jim, Faye's husband.
{5437}{5477}Jim tries very hard,
{5493}{5555}carefully planning the route|his life is going to take,
{5574}{5650}comfortable with the truth that|hard work will be rewarded.
{5722}{5757}Jim wasn't always like this,
{5779}{5812}he used to be very different.
{5965}{6029}Faye and Jim moved into|this house three years ago,
{6043}{6098}but until quite recently,|she didn't notice
{6105}{6177}how the magnolia walls,|meet their cream curtains,
{6184}{6218}against their pale rug,
{6229}{6277}in what is now thier beige life.
{6380}{6439}And every morning, while waiting|for her coffee to brew,
{6450}{6496}dreaming of Terracotta Red,
{6505}{6565}Azure Blue and Emerald Green,
{6577}{6628}Faye finds herself drawn|into the colourful
{6629}{6680}world created by next|door neighbour, Peter,
{6686}{6729}and his little|daughter, Flossie.
{6761}{6863}The small child seemed to Faye,|a supernova of blazing colours
{6880}{6951}and Peter was the star at|the centre of her universe.
{6982}{7070}Peter and Flossie spend their mornings|exploring the Amazon Rainforest,
{7087}{7149}lunchtimes picnicking on|the Galapagos Islands,
{7169}{7256}and afteroons deep sea diving|on the Great Barrier Reef.
{7410}{7458}Having given up smoking|some time ago,
{7468}{7563}Peter is finding it increasingly difficult|to hide his habit from his wife.
{7598}{7640}I cannot believe you!
{7659}{7716}Peter, you absolute scumbag!
{8772}{8831}June is the manager of|the local leisure centre
{8844}{8895}and since employing|Adrian six months ago,
{8908}{8956}has found an increasing|number of problems,
{8966}{9035}for which she needs Adrian's|personal assistance.
{9150}{9205}As her eyes trace the|shape of his body,
{9224}{9291}she experiences the feelings|of lust and desire,
{9305}{9377}that have been missing|from her life for so long.
{9463}{9512}Every morning, at eleven|minutes past eight,
{9521}{9591}Faye passes her work|colleague, Teodor Popescu.
{9612}{9652}Having politely refused|a lift to work,
{9663}{9742}Faye and Teodor are now left with, what|seems like, their only remaining option,
{9750}{9801}a slightly awkward wave hello.
{9834}{9892}As he stands, willing|his bus never to arrive
{9901}{9934}and his day never to begin,
{9945}{10025}his thoughts inevitably fall to the|utter pointlessness of it all.
{10067}{10092}Faye's journey to work
{10096}{10182}affords her an average of seventeen|minutes, twice a day, which she fills
{10191}{10253}wondering at the life|of total strangers.
{10736}{10783}At around the same|time, every day,
{10799}{10849}Faye's father Terry, and|his new wife Maggie,
{10860}{10916}take coffee and the|newspapers on their patio.
{10958}{11028}Having spent years, striving to|bring a taste of the Mediterranean
{11031}{11068}to the South East of England,
{11075}{11120}Terry and Maggie have|taken early retirement,
{11128}{11189}to start a new life|on the Costa del Sol.
{11266}{11336}Faye's sister, Pandora,|recently returned from Kenya,
{11364}{11432}where she might have been found|feeding starving children,
{11466}{11500}or building and orphanage.
{11588}{11662}Adventurer, explorer and|eternal backpacker,
{11671}{11749}Pandora is back home and|enjoying a well earned rest.
{11800}{11884}Faye works in the Human Resources|Department at the local council.
{11897}{11931}She was recently promoted,
{11942}{11999}and is now in charge of|Performance Assessment
{12006}{12043}and Efficiency Layoffs.
{12063}{12122}So, I'm taking a big|punt on you here.
{12148}{12199}It's more money,|more responibility.
{12215}{12239}Are you in?
{12380}{12431}Yes, OK. Fine.
{12655}{12723}As I'm sure you're aware, we're|under increasing pressure
{12727}{12779}to find savings|within the council.
{12799}{12891}By streamlining the department, we|plan to build on your hard work.
{12961}{13030}We want you to see|this as an opportunity
{13039}{13079}rather than a setback.
{13239}{13283}Although Faye has come|to terms with the fact
{13283}{13332}she has little in common|with her colleagues,
{13345}{13420}she still finds herself waiting|that extra five minutes,
{13429}{13485}in order to avoid the|morning coffee rush.
{13550}{13631}As Faye took in the solitary|figure of her colleague, Teodor,
{13650}{13725}it occurred to her, she might|not be entirely alone.
{13787}{13831}It is well known amongst|the office clique,
{13838}{13894}that Teodor Popescu|is a pervert.
{13913}{14000}Since daring to try and dance with Sonia|at the Christmas party last year,
{14013}{14095}his fate within this tight-knit|pack of employees has been decided.
{14146}{14176}What isn't well known,
{14189}{14284}is that for the past year, Riley has taken|secret shots of his female colleagues
{14292}{14360}and posted them anonymously|online, under the pseudonym,
{14371}{14400}Stalker Steve.
{14526}{14591}Having never been invited to|eat lunch with her colleagues,
{14606}{14670}Faye eats on the same|park bench every day.
{14731}{14772}Looking down at her application,
{14791}{14857}a familiar feeling came|bubbling up through her chest.
{14886}{14945}A feeling she'd tried to|ignore for some time now.
{14989}{15031}A feeling that, really,
{15058}{15095}there ought to be|more than this.
{15210}{15263}This is the life Faye|has weaved for herself.
{15291}{15363}One tiny web, lost amongst|billions of other tiny webs,
{15371}{15419}all covering a vast planet.
{15446}{15523}And most of the time it's the|biggest spider who catches the fly.
{15563}{15603}But every now and then,
{15622}{15701}fate gives a chance|to one, lucky soul.
{16496}{16539}- Faye Banks?|- Yes?
{16546}{16582}It's Mike Macmillan here.
{16598}{16652}I'm just calling to|say congratulations.
{16656}{16681}How are you feeling?
{16691}{16751}- Erm.|- Pretty overwhelmed, I'm sure.
{16755}{16841}Well listen, don't worry about anything.|Just let it all sink in
{16848}{16917}and someone will be over to|see you in the next few days.
{16949}{16974}You did it Faye.
{17010}{17036}I'll see you soon.
{17289}{17337}Faye, you're going to be late.
{17353}{17387}Right, I'll see you later, OK?
{17779}{17846}Photocopier's broken so we have|to use the one in Block B.
{17906}{17972}Just so you know, Sonia's putting|in a formal complaint about
{17974}{18049}old Teodor Popescu and the|Christmas party incident.
{18063}{18142}Lucy and Pauline have both had|enough of his attitude as well
{18143}{18189}so we're putting our foot down.
{18205}{18269}Got a meeting with Anderson this|afternoon if you want to pop in?
{20447}{20482}What are you doing|standing there?
{20526}{20558}You're not ready yet.
{20565}{20625}You know we're going round to|your parent's to help them pack.
{20660}{20684}Jim.
{20694}{20732}I've got something to tell you.
{20883}{20922}Oh bloody hell Faye.
{21131}{21192}That was 'De La Rose'|with Lay me Down.
{21219}{21266}Now, with the winner of Seat 25
{21267}{21307}due to be announced any day now,
{21315}{21347}today's phone in is.
{21351}{21459}'Oceans on Mars: Science|Fiction or Science Fact'.
{21467}{21524}Well the scientists|have been divided...
{21828}{21855}You OK Faye?
{21872}{21943}Yeah, just work stuff.|Had some layoffs today.
{21999}{22032}It's not just that|though, is it?
{22085}{22119}I know what you're thinking
{22140}{22180}and I don't want you|to worry about it.
{22240}{22283}I think we should start|trying for a baby.
{22395}{22438}I wish you'd talk to|me about these things.
{22458}{22502}I've been thinking|about it for a while.
{22529}{22602}It's the next logical step.
{22620}{22648}It's what we've been missing.
{22678}{22707}You feeling better now?
{22716}{22740}Mmm.
{23097}{23127}- You OK?|- Yeah.
{23128}{23164}- Are you sure?|- Yes -OK.
{23200}{23281}So, I'd say I've probably|seen half the world by now,
{23297}{23350}but I think it's my|emotional centre
{23350}{23398}that's really grown|on this last trip.
{23413}{23474}I mean, actually being|able to reach out
{23474}{23519}and touch a starving person.
{23530}{23595}You can't get that kind of perspective|unless you've really lived.
{23596}{23647}Well, we'd love to see th...
