1
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:32,140
Good evening, it's wonderful to be with you again, isn't it, Ronnie? Yes, it is.

2
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:35,940
And on the programme tonight, our legal department will be discussing paternity

3
00:00:35,940 --> 00:00:38,520
suits and asking, can you hire them from Mossbroth?

4
00:00:40,260 --> 00:00:44,240
We'll also be trying to answer the question that people ask themselves more

5
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:46,320
any other, why do I talk to myself?

6
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:51,400
But first, the news.

7
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:56,760
At London Zoo, two giant half -ton hippopotami mated for the first time in

8
00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:57,760
captivity.

9
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:01,020
For the second time outside the remains of their cage and for the third and

10
00:01:01,020 --> 00:01:02,400
fourth time halfway down the high street.

11
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:11,220
There were complaints today at Wells Cathedral where the National Association

12
00:01:11,220 --> 00:01:13,660
Squatters had their first annual service.

13
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:17,680
As soon as the bishop gave his address, 15 of them moved into it.

14
00:01:21,420 --> 00:01:24,940
In the divorce court today, a husband claimed he had seen the milkman put his

15
00:01:24,940 --> 00:01:26,420
arm round his wife three times.

16
00:01:27,140 --> 00:01:30,000
Dismissing the case, the judge said, no milkman has an arm that long.

17
00:01:32,320 --> 00:01:37,680
Which reminds me that at Purbright police station today, a woman claimed

18
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:42,180
squad of cavalrymen from the light brigade crept up to her house and

19
00:01:42,180 --> 00:01:46,780
her. When asked if she would prefer charges, she said, yes, I would. It

20
00:01:46,780 --> 00:01:48,080
noisy, but either get here, please.

21
00:01:59,350 --> 00:02:04,610
Uganda. General Armin had a nasty accident today. He fell into a vat of

22
00:02:04,610 --> 00:02:05,610
peroxide.

23
00:02:07,890 --> 00:02:10,130
His condition is described as fair.

24
00:02:12,610 --> 00:02:18,430
And in fact, General Armin has been buying up more BBC programmes to adapt

25
00:02:18,430 --> 00:02:25,430
the wide open plains of Uganda, including Softly Softly Tuskforth, It's

26
00:02:25,690 --> 00:02:27,410
Blackanory,

27
00:02:30,510 --> 00:02:33,630
Bananarama, and the film The Last Mango in Paris.

28
00:02:35,090 --> 00:02:39,530
In the sketch that follows, David and Goliath, I shall, of course, play the

29
00:02:39,530 --> 00:02:43,270
of Goliath, whilst I, in all modesty, will play the stone.

30
00:02:49,150 --> 00:02:52,530
All right, Miss Sherman, you just tell him that psychiatrists have to eat like

31
00:02:52,530 --> 00:02:53,530
anybody else.

32
00:02:53,670 --> 00:02:55,890
If he doesn't pay his bill, tell him I'll let him go mad.

33
00:03:01,390 --> 00:03:05,110
in here all the time with their... Good evening. Oh, good evening.

34
00:03:05,750 --> 00:03:08,750
Somebody's told me to come on in. Quite right. You haven't been here before,

35
00:03:08,810 --> 00:03:09,709
have you? No.

36
00:03:09,710 --> 00:03:12,150
Good, fine. I'm Dr Gilbert. Ah, how do you do?

37
00:03:12,890 --> 00:03:14,450
My name is Carrot.

38
00:03:17,710 --> 00:03:18,629
Carrot, right.

39
00:03:18,630 --> 00:03:22,270
Excuse me. Now then, before we start, are you a bed wetter? What? Are you a

40
00:03:22,270 --> 00:03:25,210
wetter? Bed wetter? Well, well, well, I... Well, I'll tell you what.

41
00:03:25,750 --> 00:03:27,770
I'll lie on the couch, you sit in the chair. Better be safe.

42
00:03:41,870 --> 00:03:43,790
under the impression you're Michael Parkinson, are you? What?

43
00:03:43,990 --> 00:03:46,550
You're not under the impression you're Michael Parkinson. Oh, no, no. No, no,

44
00:03:46,550 --> 00:03:48,090
because I've got five of him already, you see.

45
00:03:48,750 --> 00:03:51,530
It's very difficult to keep their appointments apart, you know, coming in

46
00:03:51,530 --> 00:03:53,270
with their long hair and asking stupid questions.

47
00:03:53,850 --> 00:03:57,250
Still, I suppose if you're mad, you're... And why Michael Parkinson, eh?

48
00:03:57,250 --> 00:03:57,829
don't know.

49
00:03:57,830 --> 00:03:58,629
Never mind.

50
00:03:58,630 --> 00:03:59,630
Carrot. That's it, isn't it?

51
00:04:02,790 --> 00:04:03,790
Possible.

52
00:04:10,190 --> 00:04:12,730
I want you to say the first thing that comes into your head, speak about

53
00:04:12,730 --> 00:04:15,970
anything you like, comes into your mind, no matter how private or personal.

54
00:04:16,269 --> 00:04:19,630
And I don't want you to worry. If you're completely at your ease, say anything

55
00:04:19,630 --> 00:04:23,710
you like, because, as you know, in between these three walls, there will

56
00:04:23,710 --> 00:04:25,450
be stricted confidence.

57
00:04:25,750 --> 00:04:26,329
All right?

58
00:04:26,330 --> 00:04:29,390
Yeah. By the way, I must tell you about the chap who was in here this morning.

59
00:04:29,510 --> 00:04:33,010
Oh, my God. You've already known. Tony Sullivan, his name is. Big nose. Works

60
00:04:33,010 --> 00:04:34,450
around the bank there. Around the bank.

61
00:04:34,730 --> 00:04:39,070
Do you know him? No, you probably don't. Anyway, he spent his lunch hour sitting

62
00:04:39,070 --> 00:04:42,170
on top of the bureau there. Yeah, he said the bogies were after him. A right

63
00:04:42,170 --> 00:04:43,170
twit, he looked.

64
00:04:43,990 --> 00:04:47,370
I took some photographs. I was on the Polaroids. I got them here. Oh, no, I

65
00:04:47,370 --> 00:04:49,750
them up at the golf club. I was showing the chaps in the golf club. Thanks.

66
00:04:51,970 --> 00:04:53,030
Oh, dear. What was I saying?

67
00:04:53,830 --> 00:04:55,870
Um, strictness of confidence. Oh, yes, yes.

68
00:04:56,630 --> 00:04:59,610
So you can feel absolutely at your ease at all times. You understand?

69
00:04:59,910 --> 00:05:01,490
Yes. Right, now, what are the problems, then?

70
00:05:02,010 --> 00:05:03,150
Well, I, um...

71
00:05:03,620 --> 00:05:06,780
Good God, is that the time? Oh, my God. Sorry, carry on, carry on.

72
00:05:07,660 --> 00:05:13,240
Well, I just find it very difficult to actually make sort of contact with

73
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:17,680
when I, I mean socially, when I meet people, I seem to be able to, I seem to

74
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:18,680
quite mischievous.

75
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:21,120
Oh,

76
00:05:21,280 --> 00:05:22,900
bloody watch. What's the matter with it?

77
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:26,440
Sorry, carry on. Do carry on. Just try and relax, won't you?

78
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:32,460
When I actually meet people... Yes, hello.

79
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:34,740
Mr. Bittle comes here, sir.

80
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:38,360
He's in a bit of a state, and he's wondering if you can see him at six.

81
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,360
No, I can't see him at six or at any other time. Tell him to go to hell.

82
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:44,020
I wouldn't mind reporting to the police.

83
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:47,780
Damn people, it's disgusting the way they come in here, groveling for

84
00:05:47,820 --> 00:05:49,280
damn good thrashing, that's what they need.

85
00:05:49,900 --> 00:05:50,900
Sorry I interrupted you.

86
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:52,440
Well, I...

87
00:05:53,530 --> 00:05:56,190
I was... What was that? I was... Well, come on, come on, then. Come on, then.

88
00:05:56,430 --> 00:06:00,370
Sorry. Well, I find that socially, when I... And even really business -wise...

89
00:06:00,370 --> 00:06:02,490
Oh, God. Don't beat about the bush, old chap.

90
00:06:02,790 --> 00:06:06,390
Spit it out. All right, then. When I meet people socially and at business, as

91
00:06:06,390 --> 00:06:09,170
say, and they say to me, good morning, Mr. Carrick, I never feel absolutely

92
00:06:09,170 --> 00:06:15,030
sure... ...to

93
00:06:15,030 --> 00:06:22,030
be able to assert my... Oh, what are you muttering on

94
00:06:22,030 --> 00:06:23,030
about?

95
00:06:27,530 --> 00:06:30,690
word you're saying, you know. You're all tensed up like the rest of the nuts

96
00:06:30,690 --> 00:06:31,690
that come in here.

97
00:06:32,450 --> 00:06:35,850
It's no fun, you know, lying on that couch for eight hours a day listening to

98
00:06:35,850 --> 00:06:36,990
this loony sort of drivel.

99
00:06:37,310 --> 00:06:40,850
It's so boring, for one thing. My God, it's boring. Would you mind, just for

100
00:06:40,850 --> 00:06:43,690
once and for all, for God's sake, coming straight out with it and telling me

101
00:06:43,690 --> 00:06:44,690
what's the matter with you?

102
00:06:44,990 --> 00:06:47,290
Well, I think I'm a rabbit.

103
00:06:48,950 --> 00:06:52,530
You stupid loony.

104
00:06:53,930 --> 00:06:55,590
Of course you're not a rabbit.

105
00:06:55,830 --> 00:06:57,050
Pull yourself together, man.

106
00:06:59,390 --> 00:07:02,670
You're not a rabbit. If you were a rabbit, you'd have long ears, wouldn't

107
00:07:02,790 --> 00:07:03,790
They must have fallen off.

108
00:07:04,930 --> 00:07:09,170
Of course they haven't fallen off, you loony. Listen, if you say you're a

109
00:07:09,170 --> 00:07:12,270
once more, I'm going to thump you right in the face. Now, what are you?

110
00:07:12,810 --> 00:07:15,790
I'm a... I'm a dog.

111
00:07:16,130 --> 00:07:17,130
Now,

112
00:07:18,010 --> 00:07:19,510
we'll take you from there next week. All right.

113
00:07:20,090 --> 00:07:22,350
Send the next one in, please, Mick Sharma, would you? Thank you.

114
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:49,560
Good evening, or if you live on the Great Barrier Reef, good middle of the

115
00:09:49,560 --> 00:09:55,040
night. And welcome to Consumer's Corner. Last week, we tested 12 different kinds

116
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:55,659
of glue.

117
00:09:55,660 --> 00:09:59,120
I said that Boppo glue was best, and I'm sticking to it.

118
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:04,860
Now, certain people have bandied it about that I favour Boppo products

119
00:10:04,860 --> 00:10:06,360
I'm paid by them. What rubbish.

120
00:10:06,660 --> 00:10:11,120
People like that ought to be boiled in oil. And I recommend Boppo oil.

121
00:10:12,590 --> 00:10:16,350
Let's start this week with cornflakes. Now, here is the boffo pack.

122
00:10:17,910 --> 00:10:20,130
And here you see another make.

123
00:10:20,790 --> 00:10:23,730
There we are. As you see, boffo is much bigger.

124
00:10:24,030 --> 00:10:28,330
Doesn't this make it heavy to carry, I hear some idiot ask? Well, boffo thought

125
00:10:28,330 --> 00:10:30,430
of that, and so it's three quarters empty.

126
00:10:32,410 --> 00:10:34,330
Then why not a smaller pack?

127
00:10:34,610 --> 00:10:38,390
Boffo thought of that too, and here it is inside the larger pack.

128
00:10:41,230 --> 00:10:42,630
And just look at the cornflakes.

129
00:10:46,490 --> 00:10:47,990
And you get two of those.

130
00:10:49,470 --> 00:10:54,550
It is but a short step from cornflakes to transistor radios for the pocket.

131
00:10:54,590 --> 00:10:57,930
two new makes this week. This one, one Japanese.

132
00:10:58,590 --> 00:11:01,010
And the other is this one.

133
00:11:02,050 --> 00:11:03,310
And it's British.

134
00:11:03,650 --> 00:11:06,050
This is the one for my money. Who could lose that?

135
00:11:06,850 --> 00:11:08,170
Let's see who makes it.

136
00:11:08,670 --> 00:11:09,670
What a coincidence.

137
00:11:11,870 --> 00:11:16,890
Boffo makes the world's largest miniature radio. And another selling

138
00:11:16,890 --> 00:11:21,530
You can hardly hear it, so no complaints for the neighbours.

139
00:11:21,910 --> 00:11:27,350
Now, there's no bias on my tests of food stuff. For instance, every fur must

140
00:11:27,350 --> 00:11:28,650
list the contents on the package.

141
00:11:28,850 --> 00:11:31,130
Let's take one at random. What's this one here?

142
00:11:31,370 --> 00:11:34,350
Mmm, boffo beef risotto. Mmm, sounds good.

143
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:39,740
contains a beef substitute, vegetable substitute, rice substitute, edible

144
00:11:39,740 --> 00:11:44,660
spices, inedible spices, monostodium glutamate substitute, and a rusty nail.

145
00:11:45,620 --> 00:11:50,280
Well, you can't, you can't, ah, there it is, yes. You can't say much fairer than

146
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:51,119
that, can you?

147
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:55,580
Unless, of course, you dye your hair with boffalene hair dye or use boffo

148
00:11:55,580 --> 00:12:00,800
restorer. Now, this coconut was completely bald until I applied...

149
00:12:05,610 --> 00:12:07,990
you've guessed it, I applied Boppo Hair Restorer.

150
00:12:09,310 --> 00:12:13,930
Whereas a billiard ball treated with another well -known hair restorer failed

151
00:12:13,930 --> 00:12:15,430
grow any hair at all.

152
00:12:20,030 --> 00:12:21,510
Well, only a little bit anyway.

153
00:12:22,030 --> 00:12:26,090
So much for foodstuffs. I now propose to move on to medicine.

154
00:12:26,350 --> 00:12:29,490
I hear you ask, but what about coffee and biscuits and peas?

155
00:12:29,770 --> 00:12:32,610
To which I reply, would you mind waiting till the end of the program?

156
00:12:34,100 --> 00:12:35,220
Now, pills.

157
00:12:37,340 --> 00:12:39,420
Pills. Let us consider safety.

158
00:12:39,700 --> 00:12:42,800
Here, on the middle shelf here, we have Dr.

159
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:45,580
Whizzer's emetic super laxative pills.

160
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:51,140
Up there, Boffo anti -flatulence pills on the top, and most dangerous of all,

161
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:55,120
down here, Nurse Goodall's cold cream for pimples on the bottom.

162
00:12:58,580 --> 00:13:03,400
So, being on the top shelf, well out of reach of the children, Boffo's anti -

163
00:13:03,420 --> 00:13:05,400
anti -flagellants pills are the safest.

164
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:09,720
No need for parents to get the wind up. School children cannot get at them.

165
00:13:10,740 --> 00:13:12,260
Right. Next.

166
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:35,220
powders. Earlier today, I washed two identical shirts, one with boffo blue,

167
00:13:35,220 --> 00:13:37,920
secret ingredient, and one with a cheese grater.

168
00:13:39,860 --> 00:13:43,760
Here is the shirt. Here is the shirt washed with the cheese grater.

169
00:13:44,220 --> 00:13:47,760
But here, on the other hand, is the shirt washed with boffo.

170
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:55,500
Three shades whiter. Look at that, Jim. And don't forget, don't forget, every

171
00:13:55,500 --> 00:13:57,000
boffo packet of everything...

172
00:13:57,370 --> 00:14:00,230
There is a government health warning. It reads, you have been warned, if you

173
00:14:00,230 --> 00:14:02,190
know what's good for your health, get rid of the government.

174
00:14:03,270 --> 00:14:08,470
And finally, best news of all, this week, every single Boffo product costs

175
00:14:08,470 --> 00:14:10,350
less. 45 % less than what?

176
00:14:10,610 --> 00:14:13,050
45 % less than it will cost next week.

177
00:14:13,250 --> 00:14:16,410
So remember, if you want a goodbye, buy Boffo.

178
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:45,420
Good evening, sir. Good evening. Mr. Tinkle. Yeah.

179
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:48,620
George Arthur William Tinkle.

180
00:14:49,020 --> 00:14:50,020
Yeah.

181
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:51,480
Inspector Hornley.

182
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:54,880
Oh. This is Detective Sergeant Miller. Sir.

183
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:56,620
Woman Police Constable Savage.

184
00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:58,600
Good evening, sir. Constable Gutteridge.

185
00:14:58,840 --> 00:14:59,840
Evening, sir.

186
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:01,500
Now then, sir. Yes.

187
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:04,400
This is Constable Dog Handler Verity here.

188
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:07,460
Police Dog Rex here.

189
00:15:08,740 --> 00:15:10,200
This is my wife.

190
00:15:16,170 --> 00:15:17,170
That's a friend of Len's.

191
00:15:18,850 --> 00:15:21,850
This is Joan, who goes to keep fit with my wife on Thursdays.

192
00:15:24,490 --> 00:15:27,250
And this is the gentleman who voted Liberal at the last election.

193
00:15:31,110 --> 00:15:34,150
Now then, sir, I think you know why we're all here.

194
00:15:34,910 --> 00:15:35,910
No.

195
00:15:37,650 --> 00:15:40,310
Well, there's been a power cut in our district and our tellies aren't working.

196
00:15:40,410 --> 00:15:41,410
Come here, what's yours?

197
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:54,820
On BBC One at the moment, we have Cricket from Lorde, and on BBC Two,

198
00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:59,820
Yes, thank you very much indeed. That's very good. Very good audition indeed.

199
00:15:59,960 --> 00:16:02,460
Thank you very much. If you just wait over there. That's it. Sit over there.

200
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:03,480
Just one more person, please.

201
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:05,160
Mr.

202
00:16:05,660 --> 00:16:06,660
Goblet, please.

203
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:12,700
Thank you, Mr. Goblet. If you just sit down there and read that.

204
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:14,240
All right?

205
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:15,320
In your own time, yes?

206
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:16,600
All right.

207
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:36,480
a BBC spokesman that they had both had a... Page

208
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:40,760
two. Page two. Oh, it doesn't matter. Sorry, sorry, sorry.

209
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:47,660
Sorry, that they both had an arrow... Sorry,

210
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:51,260
sorry. Where was I? Oh, yes. That they both had...

211
00:17:03,530 --> 00:17:06,450
and were glad to be the princes and income board.

212
00:17:07,030 --> 00:17:10,890
Sorry. I'm sorry about that. Sorry, wait a minute. Sorry. Sorry, I'm sorry about

213
00:17:10,890 --> 00:17:11,890
this.

214
00:17:12,050 --> 00:17:17,650
The ices and princum board

215
00:17:17,650 --> 00:17:23,990
issued a statement earlier this welk and it's... Sorry

216
00:17:23,990 --> 00:17:27,130
about this. Sorry about this.

217
00:17:28,670 --> 00:17:31,390
Earlier this welk and said that...

218
00:17:31,950 --> 00:17:33,190
Oh, I'm sorry. About the fish.

219
00:17:33,830 --> 00:17:36,550
And... Oh, I'm sorry. That was very nice, very nice. Excellent. Thank you

220
00:17:36,550 --> 00:17:40,990
much. Well, normally I'm very good at reading, but I just seem to be a little

221
00:17:40,990 --> 00:17:43,670
bit sort of nervous. And I think it's the lights, you know.

222
00:17:44,050 --> 00:17:48,570
I've got a little catch in the throat here. But I'm feeling a little more

223
00:17:48,570 --> 00:17:51,610
confident now. I think I'll just try it again. Well, no, there's no need. You're

224
00:17:51,610 --> 00:17:54,630
not quite what we're... Just let me read it once more, because I think this bit

225
00:17:54,630 --> 00:17:55,850
down here is... There we are.

226
00:17:57,650 --> 00:17:58,650
Building costs.

227
00:17:58,910 --> 00:18:01,050
And you... Sorry, wait a minute. I know the very thing.

228
00:18:01,350 --> 00:18:08,350
A new crisis moves building costs and the soaring interest rates make

229
00:18:08,350 --> 00:18:13,770
it impossible to conform to the government's con -yardstick limits.

230
00:18:14,570 --> 00:18:17,150
Yes, well, thank you very much indeed. That was fine. Thank you very much, yes.

231
00:18:17,550 --> 00:18:20,210
Is that all right? Yes, that was fine. Yes, there was one or two things that

232
00:18:20,210 --> 00:18:23,550
weren't quite right, but otherwise it was marvellous. I mean, you were

233
00:18:23,550 --> 00:18:26,910
marvellous. Yes, I made a bit of a mess of the first two things. No, no, no, you

234
00:18:26,910 --> 00:18:30,410
didn't. I think I'm in my stride now, you know. I think I'm feeling...

235
00:18:31,020 --> 00:18:34,420
You know, do it now. Let me just try. No, no, look, old man, come on. And now,

236
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:36,080
there's a choice of viewing.

237
00:18:37,300 --> 00:18:40,040
On BBC One, we have Ricketts from Lords.

238
00:18:43,500 --> 00:18:45,900
Another programme which is... Is that all right? Yes, that's fine. Thank you

239
00:18:45,900 --> 00:18:48,300
very much. That's really lovely. Thank you. There was nothing wrong with that,

240
00:18:48,340 --> 00:18:50,600
was there? No, no, that was absolutely marvellous. I was just having a chat

241
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:53,660
the chaps on the cans upstairs, you see, and we all agreed that it was

242
00:18:53,660 --> 00:18:56,940
absolutely marvellous from your point of view. Yes. I made a couple of slips.

243
00:18:57,020 --> 00:19:00,580
No, no, no. That was fine. Is it the voice? No, no, the voice is absolutely

244
00:19:00,580 --> 00:19:03,360
fine. Is it these, the glasses? No, no, I didn't even notice them. No, no,

245
00:19:03,360 --> 00:19:04,820
they're fine. Well, what is the trouble?

246
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:10,660
Well, actually, the trouble is... Well, you are a wee bit too tall.

247
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:18,360
A wee bit too tall, you see. Really, funny enough, I always thought I was on

248
00:19:18,360 --> 00:19:19,940
short side. Oh, no, no, no.

249
00:19:20,180 --> 00:19:23,140
Compared with the announcers we get here, they're all very handsome and

250
00:19:23,260 --> 00:19:24,119
you are.

251
00:19:24,120 --> 00:19:27,560
There's nothing I said, then. No, no, no, absolutely. Just a little bit too

252
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:30,520
tall. It was these, wasn't it? No, it wasn't. They put you off. No, they

253
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:33,760
no. Just too tall, that's all. Too tall? I mean, nobody will notice I'll be

254
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:37,060
sitting down before that. They won't know how tall I am, will they? Ah, no.

255
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:41,500
Well, you see, the trouble is, it is in colour, you see. It's in colour, and

256
00:19:41,500 --> 00:19:43,540
you're just too tall, you see.

257
00:19:43,900 --> 00:19:48,840
Just two tall. Sorry, what has colour got to do with it? Well, I mean, how

258
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:52,760
are you? Well, about 5 '2". 5 '2". Ah, well, you see, 5 '2". Now, you divide 5

259
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:58,460
'2 into 625 lines, you see, bearing in mind that it is a three -colour primary

260
00:19:58,460 --> 00:20:03,020
process, you see, on the three guns. You must have the equation 625 lines going

261
00:20:03,020 --> 00:20:05,440
into 5 '2", means that you would be entirely green.

262
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:10,280
You'd be green from top to whatever.

263
00:20:11,170 --> 00:20:14,770
But actually, I'm five, one and a half. Oh, well, five, one and a half, you see,

264
00:20:14,790 --> 00:20:17,330
you'll be five, one and a half of green with half an inch of red on top.

265
00:20:18,490 --> 00:20:21,830
Well, it looked very good on the small screens there that were down by there.

266
00:20:21,870 --> 00:20:25,150
Yes, well, the thing is, well, look, it is actually, I'll tell you the truth, it

267
00:20:25,150 --> 00:20:26,770
is a technical problem.

268
00:20:27,290 --> 00:20:30,530
Technical? Yes, a technical problem. The technical reason is that, you see, you

269
00:20:30,530 --> 00:20:32,170
are absolutely dreadful.

270
00:20:34,130 --> 00:20:37,230
Oh, well, I mean, if it's technical, there's very little you can know about

271
00:20:37,250 --> 00:20:38,570
No, well, you see, I didn't want to worry you.

272
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:46,380
guest this evening, Blue Mink.

273
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:40,420
If I thought our love was a thing I'd find

274
00:21:40,420 --> 00:21:42,500
myself drowning in my

275
00:21:47,050 --> 00:21:50,350
The sunshine of my life, baby.

276
00:21:51,430 --> 00:21:56,230
That's why I'll always be around you.

277
00:21:56,850 --> 00:22:01,610
You are the apple of my eye, child.

278
00:22:21,260 --> 00:22:23,640
That this must be heaven.

279
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:29,300
How could so much love be inside of you?

280
00:22:29,500 --> 00:22:35,500
You, you, you, you, you, you are the sunshine of my life, baby.

281
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:38,360
That's why I love you.

282
00:23:14,690 --> 00:23:20,710
You are such out of my life, baby

283
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:43,440
the child of my life, baby.

284
00:23:44,360 --> 00:23:49,180
That's why I'll always be around you.

285
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:53,380
You are the apple of my eye.

286
00:23:53,620 --> 00:23:55,540
Honey, babe, honey, babe.

287
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:59,520
Forever you'll stay in my heart.

288
00:24:00,860 --> 00:24:06,560
You are the sunshine of my life, baby.

289
00:24:07,060 --> 00:24:08,420
That's why I'll

290
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:28,940
I hope he doesn't mind my mentioning this, but Ronnie B is a tiny little bit

291
00:24:28,940 --> 00:24:33,200
annoyed tonight, you know, because he wasn't at the producer's party last

292
00:24:33,580 --> 00:24:36,480
Now, he should consider himself lucky he wasn't there.

293
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:38,040
Good heavens!

294
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:39,740
I've had more fun at the dentist.

295
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:46,760
The party was actually given to launch his mother in her new showbiz career as

296
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:47,760
lady fire -eater.

297
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:52,440
Something that started quite by accident, you know, when she went to put

298
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:53,820
coal on the fire and tripped over the mat.

299
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:59,020
Now this party was a very, very quiet affair.

300
00:24:59,300 --> 00:25:00,279
Very quiet.

301
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:04,380
We all stood around with our glasses, you know, of homemade xenopod wine.

302
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:08,280
Irish stew on biscuits.

303
00:25:09,260 --> 00:25:11,500
Little snacks like rice pudding on sticks.

304
00:25:12,620 --> 00:25:14,000
My God, it was quiet.

305
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:18,180
Well, I'll be honest with you, it wasn't so much a party, it was more like

306
00:25:18,180 --> 00:25:19,540
waiting to take part in an ambush.

307
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:26,100
Now we'd been there about an hour, and one of the guests, Gorta, caught up, you

308
00:25:26,100 --> 00:25:29,340
know, in the general atmosphere and wanted to jump off the window ledge.

309
00:25:30,300 --> 00:25:31,940
But he couldn't get the window open.

310
00:25:32,860 --> 00:25:35,620
So he spent the rest of the evening throwing himself off a chair.

311
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:42,260
Then the host started playing some of his party LPs, you know, like The Best

312
00:25:42,260 --> 00:25:48,800
Nureyev and a wonderful record called Sing Along with Lord

313
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:49,800
Reith.

314
00:25:51,210 --> 00:25:53,870
we'd just about exhausted the entertainment possibilities.

315
00:25:54,150 --> 00:25:56,210
You know, we'd all had a ride in the lift.

316
00:25:58,970 --> 00:26:04,630
And the producer had done his rather tasteless send -off of head of BBC Light

317
00:26:04,630 --> 00:26:05,630
Entertainment.

318
00:26:06,490 --> 00:26:10,430
And my wife, who is actually going through rather a sticky patch at the

319
00:26:10,470 --> 00:26:13,570
she was locked in the kitchen putting milk bottles down the waste disposal.

320
00:26:15,150 --> 00:26:17,770
And someone said, what shall we do now?

321
00:26:17,990 --> 00:26:19,990
Now, I was feeling a little bit full of myself.

322
00:26:20,650 --> 00:26:24,350
I found later that someone had been putting metal polish in my wine.

323
00:26:25,510 --> 00:26:28,570
And by the time I'd found out who was doing it, the tin was empty.

324
00:26:29,330 --> 00:26:33,410
Anyway, I said, I know what we can do. I said, I know what we can do. Why don't

325
00:26:33,410 --> 00:26:36,070
we all hold hands and try and get in touch with the living?

326
00:26:40,090 --> 00:26:45,990
And the producer's mother, producer's mother, who was also on the Brasso,

327
00:26:46,170 --> 00:26:51,370
she said, what a good idea. idea of four eyes.

328
00:26:53,110 --> 00:26:57,810
We'll have a seance, she said. It appears that she wanted to get in touch

329
00:26:57,810 --> 00:27:01,750
her first husband. Now, I happen to know a lady who was a medium.

330
00:27:02,450 --> 00:27:03,450
Mrs. Dry.

331
00:27:06,210 --> 00:27:07,570
Known as Medium Dry.

332
00:27:09,530 --> 00:27:11,310
And they didn't laugh much either.

333
00:27:12,550 --> 00:27:16,390
Anyway, we did manage to get hold of a medium, you know. They're all in the

334
00:27:16,390 --> 00:27:17,390
yellow pages, you know.

335
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:22,040
hold of this old gypsy lady called Granny Sobrani Limited.

336
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:26,000
Granny Sobrani of Dubrovnik.

337
00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:28,480
One of the Balkan Sobranis.

338
00:27:29,340 --> 00:27:35,420
So we all sat around the table holding hands, if you like that, and the chap on

339
00:27:35,420 --> 00:27:39,620
the end gave way to a very stupid impulse and put his finger in the power

340
00:27:39,620 --> 00:27:40,620
socket.

341
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:47,780
Well, that clears your head a bit, I can tell you.

342
00:27:50,590 --> 00:27:53,370
wife's hairdresser, I'll give him a little wave.

343
00:27:56,710 --> 00:28:03,570
Just a little bit, you know, but my wife... He... Well, actually, he's a lot

344
00:28:03,570 --> 00:28:04,249
like that.

345
00:28:04,250 --> 00:28:10,570
I was wondering whether to be tactful. He passed out, poor soul, passed out on

346
00:28:10,570 --> 00:28:13,310
the floor, and nobody wanted to give him the kiss of life.

347
00:28:15,010 --> 00:28:16,470
It's so embarrassing.

348
00:28:18,180 --> 00:28:21,120
Eventually, I rushed up, gave him a peck on the cheek, promised to write, and he

349
00:28:21,120 --> 00:28:22,120
was as good as new.

350
00:28:25,540 --> 00:28:31,040
Then the old gypsy said, she said that for a fiver, she could make our friend

351
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:33,340
materialize in the room for a fiver.

352
00:28:33,580 --> 00:28:37,860
So we all put in 50p each. And no sooner had she got the money, when she said,

353
00:28:37,980 --> 00:28:39,460
he's here already, she said.

354
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:41,820
I said, that was quick. She said, well, it's all downhill.

355
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:47,460
Then she laughed.

356
00:28:47,770 --> 00:28:48,770
so I hit her.

357
00:28:49,070 --> 00:28:51,270
I always like to strike a happy medium.

358
00:28:58,210 --> 00:29:04,790
She said, he's here, standing on my hand, she said. He has returned to Earth

359
00:29:04,790 --> 00:29:06,910
as an invisible pixie.

360
00:29:08,390 --> 00:29:10,750
She said, you're very lucky you don't often see those.

361
00:29:14,430 --> 00:29:16,790
There was a young lady in the group, a Miss A.

362
00:29:17,290 --> 00:29:19,230
She was there by mistake. She thought it was a record promotion.

363
00:29:19,990 --> 00:29:24,030
And the gypsy said, would you like to tickle him under the chin, you see? And

364
00:29:24,030 --> 00:29:30,350
the girl said, yes, I would very much. And she went... And the gypsy lady said,

365
00:29:30,430 --> 00:29:33,010
actually, he's about that big, but I think you're getting through to him.

366
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:51,540
That's a forgery, all right.

367
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:53,300
How can you tell?

368
00:29:54,100 --> 00:29:58,940
Well, you see this capital A here in England? Now, that loop, that lower loop

369
00:29:58,940 --> 00:30:02,320
there, is slightly lower than it should be compared with the letter D there.

370
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:07,300
Now, also the decoration on the crown is slightly overornate, particularly the

371
00:30:07,300 --> 00:30:08,300
thistle motif.

372
00:30:08,780 --> 00:30:12,860
Down here, right down here by the side of the head there, now that green

373
00:30:12,860 --> 00:30:15,540
shading, that just gets a little too deep.

374
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:18,000
Just a little too quickly. See what I mean?

375
00:30:18,780 --> 00:30:20,840
It's only flight, but the fault is there.

376
00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:23,800
Besides, it says Bank of Toyland on the back.

377
00:30:57,710 --> 00:30:58,710
Good man.

378
00:30:59,150 --> 00:31:00,550
Good

379
00:31:00,550 --> 00:31:07,270
man.

380
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:22,880
to where he shipped the loiter.

381
00:31:23,140 --> 00:31:26,140
Good God, all I can say is thank heaven we're not at sea.

382
00:31:26,380 --> 00:31:27,380
Yes, it'd be good.

383
00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:29,520
Shut the bloody door, man.

384
00:31:30,100 --> 00:31:31,920
Goodness me, is the back door open?

385
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:34,300
Yes, your maid, she's hanging something out in the garden.

386
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:37,580
Where can that be at this time of night? That's better.

387
00:31:37,940 --> 00:31:41,540
There we are, Mr Beans. Well, what brings you to my house at this time of

388
00:31:41,740 --> 00:31:45,420
Must be something important to drag you up the dirty duck on a night like this.

389
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:50,180
That is true, Captain. I do love my pint of ale. But there be things in this

390
00:31:50,180 --> 00:31:53,240
world that when they do happen, they do stop a man from drinking.

391
00:31:53,660 --> 00:31:55,480
And closing time be one of them.

392
00:31:56,800 --> 00:32:00,400
So you got thrown out, eh? No, no. I just come to tell you that the latest

393
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:04,420
addition to your line of ships is already in port, refitted and ready to

394
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:08,640
Well, it's a scrap that's arrived, is it? Ah, last night. I thought you and me

395
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:12,420
might go and have a look over it tomorrow morning for a scene, as if

396
00:32:12,420 --> 00:32:13,279
a mind.

397
00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:20,080
Of course I've got a mind. I'm not daft, am I? You need brains to build up a

398
00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:22,240
fleet of cargo ships like I've done.

399
00:32:22,660 --> 00:32:24,880
Brains, brains, brains, brains.

400
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:28,860
Yes, sir, yes, sir, yes, sir. Ah, well, she's arrived.

401
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:32,040
I've done it all on my own, you know, with no help whatsoever.

402
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:36,020
My father with no help. I used to think his head was full of cotton wool.

403
00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:37,119
Oh, why?

404
00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:39,280
Well, I saw a bit sticking out of his ear once, you know.

405
00:32:41,420 --> 00:32:45,520
Latest addition to the line. Well, let's drink to it, Mr. Baines. There we are.

406
00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:49,180
I'm sorry to offer you this rather inferior port wine, but the weather's

407
00:32:49,180 --> 00:32:51,060
that bad, I haven't been able to get across to the off -license.

408
00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:53,880
You're too drunk to tell the difference.

409
00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:56,740
That's all right, Captain. Any port in a storm?

410
00:33:00,220 --> 00:33:01,220
Anyhow, here.

411
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:07,320
I'll tell you what, Captain. Yes? Let us drink to the latest addition to the

412
00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:09,020
fleet's loins. Grand, grand.

413
00:33:09,340 --> 00:33:13,800
Grand. How long may she prosper, Mr... to her... Do you know, Baines?

414
00:33:14,060 --> 00:33:16,680
Do you know her? I can't rightly remember her name.

415
00:33:23,140 --> 00:33:25,080
Saucy Sue, Captain, ain't she a beauty?

416
00:33:25,740 --> 00:33:27,260
Grand, Mr. Baines, grand.

417
00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:28,640
Trim and proud.

418
00:33:29,060 --> 00:33:30,480
Fast, I could imagine, too.

419
00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:34,800
With that air of strength and reliability characteristic of the class.

420
00:33:35,980 --> 00:33:37,460
What's she like to handle, have you heard?

421
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:41,920
Well, Jones, the pilot, says she responds quickly and manoeuvres well.

422
00:33:42,300 --> 00:33:46,240
I've been all over her already. She's as solid as a rock and a lot more

423
00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:48,580
comfortable than the older ones of the same class.

424
00:33:49,540 --> 00:33:51,520
Saucy Sue, eh? That'll be her name, Captain.

425
00:33:51,740 --> 00:33:52,740
I can't wait.

426
00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:54,160
I say, Sue.

427
00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:08,520
Why don't you slink into the tavern and wait for me? I'll be there in time to

428
00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:09,520
buy you a second pint.

429
00:34:09,780 --> 00:34:13,139
Just got to look at a ship. What's it called, Ben? The Dependable Captain.

430
00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:14,639
How very unexciting.

431
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:17,540
I reckon her bottom will need a bit of attention.

432
00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:19,480
Right.

433
00:34:21,739 --> 00:34:23,219
First things first, come on.

434
00:34:38,620 --> 00:34:40,040
Land ho, Mr. Baines.

435
00:34:41,340 --> 00:34:42,218
Hi, Captain.

436
00:34:42,219 --> 00:34:43,219
Land ho, Mr. Baines.

437
00:34:44,100 --> 00:34:45,100
Lando, Captain.

438
00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:47,380
There ain't no Lando around here from my altar.

439
00:34:47,639 --> 00:34:50,659
Really? Then look through that telescope. What's that blobbing horizon

440
00:34:52,300 --> 00:34:55,460
That's not on the horizon. See, that's on the end of the telescope, right?

441
00:34:56,239 --> 00:35:00,640
That's a seagull, did that? Any other messages?

442
00:35:03,500 --> 00:35:07,320
Oh, yes, there was one, yes. I come in to report that I found a stowaway

443
00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:08,560
sir, stowed away aboard.

444
00:35:08,860 --> 00:35:12,180
I found him in a lifeboat living, sir. What the blank? I'll bring him in at

445
00:35:12,180 --> 00:35:13,380
once. I will at once, sir.

446
00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:16,400
Bring in a prisoner, Mr Toot.

447
00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:23,640
So, eh, tired of stowaway on my ship, eh? Trying to swindle an honest sailor

448
00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:25,040
of the favour of passage, eh?

449
00:35:25,380 --> 00:35:28,380
Well, you're a parasite in the back of society, my fine fellow.

450
00:35:28,620 --> 00:35:32,500
And I want to assure you that a captain has means of dealing with the likes of

451
00:35:32,500 --> 00:35:36,620
you. By the time I've finished with you, I wish you weren't born. Take him out.

452
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:40,320
Strip him. Tie him to the yardarm. Give him a taste of the rope's end.

453
00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:44,080
Come on, come on. You don't think you're right up in front of the captain, will

454
00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:45,080
you?

455
00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:49,940
Good God, it's a woman. Do you see that, Baines? I do, I do.

456
00:35:50,240 --> 00:35:53,520
Yes. Is she still to be stripped and tied to the yardarm and given a taste of

457
00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:54,520
the rope's end?

458
00:35:55,240 --> 00:35:58,720
Now, perhaps we're being a little bit hasty there. You know, you do tend to be

459
00:35:58,720 --> 00:35:59,800
wee bit hasty, Baines.

460
00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:04,650
Let's compromise a little. Shall we? Will you just slip off your oil again,

461
00:36:04,650 --> 00:36:05,650
dear? There we are.

462
00:36:05,870 --> 00:36:06,870
No, perhaps.

463
00:36:07,370 --> 00:36:10,630
Perhaps not a taste of the ropes, then. Perhaps you prefer something a little

464
00:36:10,630 --> 00:36:11,730
bit tastier, eh?

465
00:36:12,230 --> 00:36:14,050
Bring the lady a cheese sandwich!

466
00:36:15,890 --> 00:36:20,030
There we are. Now, there, will you just mind it? Now, will you sit down here, my

467
00:36:20,030 --> 00:36:22,390
dear? Sit up there. Get your breath back.

468
00:36:23,090 --> 00:36:25,390
We're all breathing a bit heavy, aren't we?

469
00:36:27,370 --> 00:36:28,670
What are you looking at, Baines?

470
00:36:28,890 --> 00:36:31,330
I take it I can leave her polite in your hands, sir.

471
00:36:31,650 --> 00:36:35,570
Exactly, Baines. I shall set her to work for me. She shall be my cabin boy.

472
00:36:35,930 --> 00:36:37,270
Don't you worry, Baines.

473
00:36:37,550 --> 00:36:41,110
She'll work a passage as any other storyway would. Don't you worry.

474
00:36:41,430 --> 00:36:42,970
Now, what's your name, if I may?

475
00:36:43,450 --> 00:36:45,510
Ophelia O 'Hannah Flanagan, sir.

476
00:36:46,010 --> 00:36:47,810
O what? Ophelia, Captain.

477
00:36:48,270 --> 00:36:49,390
Permission to go aloft?

478
00:36:49,690 --> 00:36:54,510
I shall instruct my cabin boy on her duties.

479
00:36:56,760 --> 00:37:00,860
Well, what made you stay away from my ship? Well, I wanted to travel and to

480
00:37:00,860 --> 00:37:01,860
a name for myself.

481
00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:03,560
Well, you've come to the right place.

482
00:37:04,340 --> 00:37:06,760
You play your card right, you can do both things at once.

483
00:37:07,980 --> 00:37:11,740
Now, I'll just tell you what your duties will be. You'll naturally do a little

484
00:37:11,740 --> 00:37:15,380
bit of light dusting and bring me my early morning cup of tea.

485
00:37:15,900 --> 00:37:17,640
And, of course, polish my sextant.

486
00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:24,400
Come over here, I'll show you rightly where we keep the hammocks. You see now?

487
00:37:24,700 --> 00:37:25,700
You see now?

488
00:37:38,570 --> 00:37:39,570
Thank you.

489
00:38:13,450 --> 00:38:16,070
You coming up on the bridge? The storm is at his height.

490
00:38:16,990 --> 00:38:19,690
I'm afraid I've got too much to do down here.

491
00:38:20,830 --> 00:38:23,630
But we need your experience up there, Captain.

492
00:38:24,070 --> 00:38:26,230
I'm using most of it down here.

493
00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:38,540
It's a filthy night up there.

494
00:39:39,420 --> 00:39:41,540
Pretty heavy weather down here as well.

495
00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:45,400
I'm warning you, Captain, it's touch and go.

496
00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:46,640
I don't...

497
00:40:08,620 --> 00:40:11,860
Captain. No thanks, my dear. Not at breakfast. It's a bit early for me, you

498
00:40:11,860 --> 00:40:14,000
know. Good God, what a night.

499
00:40:14,260 --> 00:40:16,540
Oh, I do love you, Captain.

500
00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:18,040
And I do love you too.

501
00:40:18,500 --> 00:40:20,640
It's the first time I've ever said that to a cabin boy.

502
00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:23,320
What's that?

503
00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:27,180
Captain, we're being boarded. Who, boy?

504
00:40:28,100 --> 00:40:29,100
Pirates.

505
00:40:29,560 --> 00:40:33,140
He's right. He's not wrong. Oh, dear. Don't you worry, dear. You'll be safe in

506
00:40:33,140 --> 00:40:34,140
here with me.

507
00:40:34,590 --> 00:40:37,390
No, I'm going to stay in here and protect you. Oh, I'll go and fight. No,

508
00:40:37,390 --> 00:40:40,830
leave me here on my own. Don't be daft. Are you coming here or not, Captain?

509
00:40:41,130 --> 00:40:43,270
No, I've got every confidence in you, Baines.

510
00:40:43,530 --> 00:40:45,410
Oh, all right, sir, aye, aye.

511
00:40:45,950 --> 00:40:48,970
Stand by to repel all boarders.

512
00:40:49,210 --> 00:40:51,150
Sounds like a landlady I knew once.

513
00:40:51,650 --> 00:40:54,170
Sit down here, my dear. Come on, make yourself comfortable.

514
00:40:54,670 --> 00:40:56,670
Well, this is pleasant, isn't it, eh?

515
00:40:57,310 --> 00:40:59,710
How different my life has suddenly become.

516
00:40:59,970 --> 00:41:02,930
Are you sure Mr Baines can manage on his own? Well, why not?

517
00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:06,600
You helped us through last night without so much as a scrape, didn't you, eh?

518
00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:08,800
Which is more than I could say for you, my dear.

519
00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:10,840
Catherine!

520
00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:16,200
I shall never forget the first time I saw you when you took off your hat and

521
00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:19,480
your hair fell out over your shoulder. Were you surprised?

522
00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:22,640
Well, it was a bit of a shock. It's usually a sign of scurvy.

523
00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:26,420
What? Sounds as if they're getting closer.

524
00:41:26,700 --> 00:41:28,720
They won't get past the door, not with Baines there.

525
00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:32,100
Not only is he tough, but he uses his head. Well, what's it made of? Solid oak

526
00:41:32,100 --> 00:41:33,100
and not a knot all inside.

527
00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:35,180
I didn't mean that silly. I meant the door.

528
00:41:35,460 --> 00:41:37,200
Oh, the door. I don't know what the door's made of. No, I don't.

529
00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:39,040
Listen. What?

530
00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:40,160
It's gone all quiet.

531
00:41:40,520 --> 00:41:42,380
So it has. Perhaps they're fighting on carpet.

532
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:45,120
It's all over, Captain.

533
00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:50,160
Have they... Have you beaten them? They've beaten us, Captain. I'm a

534
00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:50,919
out there.

535
00:41:50,920 --> 00:41:52,060
Are you coming out or not?

536
00:41:52,300 --> 00:41:53,940
No, no, not... No fear, no.

537
00:41:54,180 --> 00:41:57,640
Ophelia and I are staying in here. We've got supplies enough to last us three

538
00:41:57,640 --> 00:42:01,460
months. Plenty of Robin Ships biscuits. Are they a tough bunch, are they? Ah,

539
00:42:01,500 --> 00:42:04,980
they are, sir, they are. They've been at sea for months without so much as

540
00:42:04,980 --> 00:42:09,100
clapping eyes upon a member of the opposite, as you might say, sir. And

541
00:42:09,100 --> 00:42:11,040
make their body very edgy, that do.

542
00:42:11,700 --> 00:42:15,440
Whomsoever, they promise not to kill me if I do exactly as I say.

543
00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:17,700
Then I suggest you agree I'm staying in here.

544
00:42:17,940 --> 00:42:20,000
The fewer men out there with that lot, the better.

545
00:42:20,380 --> 00:42:23,460
Ah, you may be right with that, Captain. You may be right.

546
00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:31,100
I'd just like to say... If I don't see you again, it will have been wonderful.

547
00:42:31,660 --> 00:42:32,660
Well,

548
00:42:38,740 --> 00:42:50,180
that's

549
00:42:50,180 --> 00:42:54,060
all for this week. Next week, we're having a talk on ethics by a man from

550
00:42:54,060 --> 00:42:55,060
Suffolk.

551
00:43:01,130 --> 00:43:04,470
We'll interview a man who's really got a finger in every pie.

552
00:43:04,750 --> 00:43:06,150
He's a short -sighted butcher.

553
00:43:08,150 --> 00:43:09,690
Oh, that's a meaty one.

554
00:43:10,990 --> 00:43:15,390
And now some late news. Despite the strike of delivery drivers at a Midlands

555
00:43:15,390 --> 00:43:20,030
factory today, the millionth car rolled off the assembly line and onto a pile of

556
00:43:20,030 --> 00:43:21,670
990 ,000 others.

557
00:43:23,310 --> 00:43:26,530
And the latest news from the divorce court.

558
00:43:27,100 --> 00:43:32,180
A sex -crazed lady dietician from Hertfordshire admitted in an undefended

559
00:43:32,660 --> 00:43:37,860
I won't deny it. There are 263 men in my life, and they all eat shredded wheat.

560
00:43:40,380 --> 00:43:44,680
And in the high courts, a man complained of the noise made by the amorous couple

561
00:43:44,680 --> 00:43:45,680
in the flat above.

562
00:43:45,840 --> 00:43:49,860
Each evening, they'd sing the red flag, eat their supper, have fun on the sofa,

563
00:43:50,020 --> 00:43:52,040
and then take a very naughty bath together.

564
00:43:52,620 --> 00:43:55,740
So every night, it was hammer and tickle, cheese and fickle, slap and

565
00:43:55,740 --> 00:43:56,740
and bubble and squeak.

566
00:44:07,690 --> 00:44:10,810
that it's good night from him and it's good night from me as well
