You haven't seen any of the other methods of execution, 390 00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:06,639 the electric chair, or the firing squad... 391 00:34:06,740 --> 00:34:11,399 Of course I bloody haven't, I'm from Lancashire not Arkansas 392 00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:18,600 'Electric bloody chair'...

They've enough on their plates, poor sods 399 00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:46,679 So how many men have you hanged, Harry? Give me a rough estimate 400 00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:50,359 I pride myself on never having deigned that question with an answer, Derek, 401 00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:52,119 and I shall stick to that deigning 402 00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:54,679 More than a hundred? - Loads more 403 00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:58,999 More than a thousand? - Don't be daft, this in't China 404 00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:00,999 More than Pierrepoint? 405 00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:04,179 See, now you're trying to come the smartarse again, aren't ya, like before 406 00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:07,799 Everybody knows Albert Pierrepoint did shitloads, 407 00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:11,999 but Pierrepoint did a shitload of Germans both during and after the war, 408 00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:16,719 so there should be a little bit of an asterisk against some of his numbers at the very least 409 00:35:16,720 --> 00:35:21,799 Albert were doing fifteen to twenty of those bastards a day, after the trials got going proper, 410 00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:27,759 and I'd've been happy to lend a hand, I would, but Pierrepoint had that entire scene sown up, didn't he? 411 00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:33,359 He wouldn't let us get a look in edgeways, and I'd've been happy to hang some Germans 412 00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:39,919 I'd've been chuffed. I never liked them before the war, let alone during. The accent alone... 413 00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:41,679 Why weren't you asked, Harry? 414 00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:45,199 I were asked the first time around, around Nuremburg, 415 00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:51,039 but I were still a part-time bookie then and it coincided with Grand National Week so, y'know? 416 00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:53,119 I probably should've gone 417 00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:56,839 I fobbed them off, said the wife was poorly, and she probably was, she always is, 418 00:35:56,840 --> 00:35:59,319 but they never called me back again after that, 419 00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:03,959 'cos they're like that, they say nowt, but they hold things agin ya 420 00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:08,359 I regret not going, I'd've liked to see a bit of Germany 421 00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:15,079 All I'm saying though is, all them Nazis Pierrepoint did, all them bastards as ran the camps and whatnot, 422 00:36:15,080 --> 00:36:19,759 I hold my hand up to him, I do. Good riddance to the lot of them, the swine 423 00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:25,319 All I'm saying is, they shouldn't be allowed to go on his final score 424 00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:32,320 'Cos hanging Germans en masse, well, it in't a hard job, is it? 425 00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:37,759 They do what they're told, don't they, they follow orders 426 00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:41,719 'Stand o'er there, under that noose.' 'All right, Sergeant Pierrepoint, owt else I can do for ya?' 427 00:36:41,720 --> 00:36:45,239 'Nay lad, you're right.' Thunk! 428 00:36:45,240 --> 00:36:49,679 So if you subtracted Albert's Nazis from his normals, I'm not saying I'd win, 429 00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:54,919 but we'd definitely be running neck and neck. If you'll pardon the expression 430 00:36:54,920 --> 00:37:00,639 It would be great for the paper if you gave me a number, Harry. How many have you done all in all? 431 00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:03,159 I won't, lad. I've no comment 432 00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:04,959 The low two hundreds? 433 00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:06,159 Higher 434 00:37:06,260 --> 00:37:07,619 The low three hundreds? 435 00:37:07,620 --> 00:37:14,620 You were close enough first time, the mid two hundreds, but I'll leave it at that, the mid two hundreds 436 00:37:17,260 --> 00:37:21,419 Two hundred and thirty-three. Sans a single German 437 00:37:21,420 --> 00:37:25,219 Nice. Although they say Pierrepoint's runs into the six hundreds 438 00:37:25,220 --> 00:37:29,159 Who says? Pierrepoint's wife? Bollocks 439 00:37:29,260 --> 00:37:31,739 And his hair smelled - And whose hair smelled? 440 00:37:31,740 --> 00:37:35,819 Pierrepoint's hair smelled. They don't mention that in the papers, do they? 441 00:37:35,820 --> 00:37:37,179 What did it smell of? 442 00:37:37,180 --> 00:37:41,919 When I were in a mood I'd say it smelled of Death, 443 00:37:42,020 --> 00:37:47,499 but it were probably just stale Brylcreem - 'Stale Brylcreem' 444 00:37:47,500 --> 00:37:51,859 And, one final thing, Harry. The miscarriages of justice that've occurred over the last ten years... 445 00:37:51,860 --> 00:37:53,939 Oh, here we go, you had to spoil it 446 00:37:53,940 --> 00:37:56,259 The ones that have swayed public opinion against hanging... 447 00:37:56,260 --> 00:37:57,459 Says you 448 00:37:57,560 --> 00:38:01,279 Were most of those carried out by you or by Pierrepoint? 449 00:38:01,580 --> 00:38:04,619 Oh... Pierrepoint. Definitely. I think 450 00:38:04,620 --> 00:38:07,319 Derek Bentley? - The retard? Pierrepoint 451 00:38:07,420 --> 00:38:08,859 Timothy Evans? 452 00:38:08,860 --> 00:38:13,319 The Christie lad? That was Pierrepoint, although I assisted, so technically that's 2-1 453 00:38:13,420 --> 00:38:14,779 Ruth Ellis? 454 00:38:14,780 --> 00:38:18,699 Pierrepoint. 3-1 . Pierrepoint never seemed to mind hanging women. I did 455 00:38:18,700 --> 00:38:23,899 I mean, you'd do it, it were the job, but it'd leave a nasty taste in your mouth weeks after 456 00:38:24,100 --> 00:38:25,819 James Hennessy? 457 00:38:25,820 --> 00:38:29,999 Hennessy weren't a miscarriage of justice. I read up about Hennessy after 458 00:38:30,100 --> 00:38:34,779 He were your classic woman-hating psychopath and I don't usually like commenting on the people I've hanged... 459 00:38:34,780 --> 00:38:37,599 ...but in his case sod him, bad rubbish, good riddance 460 00:38:37,700 --> 00:38:39,899 He died protesting his innocence, they say 461 00:38:39,900 --> 00:38:45,619 He were just scared, lad. They're all just scared. Some show it, some don't 462 00:38:45,620 --> 00:38:53,520 Mostly what I remember about Hennessy, he were very anti-Northern, and I don't like that. It's prejudice 463 00:38:54,580 --> 00:38:58,419 There was another woman attacked in Norfolk last year, out Lowestoft way, 464 00:38:58,420 --> 00:39:01,739 the police are saying bore a lot of the hallmarks of the Hennessy killing 465 00:39:01,740 --> 00:39:08,619 There'll always be women attacked, lad. It's just the nature of men, in't it? 466 00:39:08,620 --> 00:39:12,219 In Lowestoft especially, there's nowt else to do 467 00:39:12,220 --> 00:39:16,979 You soon get bored of miniature golf 468 00:39:16,980 --> 00:39:21,179 So are you saying, then, that the death penalty never worked as a deterrent, Harry? 469 00:39:21,180 --> 00:39:25,139 Aha! Good one, ya little bastard 470 00:39:25,140 --> 00:39:26,979 I'll tell ya this, any road, 471 00:39:26,980 --> 00:39:31,019 Hennessy never killed anybody after I got ahold of him. You can be sure of that 472 00:39:31,020 --> 00:39:34,219 Maybe he never killed anybody before you got ahold of him? 473 00:39:34,220 --> 00:39:41,220 And maybe we'll never know. Boo hoo. Another pint, lad? 474 00:40:27,420 --> 00:40:31,420 Oh, Harry... 475 00:40:48,060 --> 00:40:56,060 I wasn't poorly around Nuremburg. I'm never poorly. You just wanted a pissup at Aintree with your mates 476 00:40:59,220 --> 00:41:04,919 They're our friends now, the Germans 477 00:41:05,020 --> 00:41:13,020 'Lowestoft'... You don't know the first thing about Lowestoft. You don't know the first thing about nowt 478 00:41:15,500 --> 00:41:23,000 And there weren't nowt wrong with Albert Pierrepoint's hair. He had nice hair. Unlike yours 479 00:41:27,460 --> 00:41:34,460 He's lost the run of himself. I knew he would 480 00:41:34,900 --> 00:41:38,379 Morning, our Shirley 481 00:41:38,580 --> 00:41:44,379 I says 'Morning, our Shirley' - Morning. Do mental homes have visiting hours? 482 00:41:44,380 --> 00:41:47,699 You can get mental-home-visiting out of your head for a start-off 483 00:41:47,700 --> 00:41:51,499 I thought we heard the end of this Phyllis Keane palaver last night 484 00:41:51,500 --> 00:41:55,759 I wouldn't let you go to Burnley on your own, let alone to a Burnley mental home 485 00:41:55,860 --> 00:42:02,619 She'll be all on her own with nutters - Oh aye. Sounds like me at opening time 486 00:42:02,620 --> 00:42:09,039 Your dad's lost run of himself in paper. I knew he would 487 00:42:09,140 --> 00:42:13,319 Won't hurt business, though, the likes of folks round here 488 00:42:13,420 --> 00:42:20,820 Probably help business. They'd pay to watch a car-crash if you could slow one down. They're just morbid 489 00:42:22,900 --> 00:42:28,419 'Two hundred and thirty-three'... 490 00:42:28,620 --> 00:42:32,639 I'd stop you reading it if I didn't think you'd get ahold of it one way or t'other 491 00:42:32,740 --> 00:42:37,519 I don't want to read it, do I? I don't care - You'd care if it were Elvis Presley 492 00:42:37,620 --> 00:42:42,659 Wouldn't be Elvis Presley though, would it? Elvis Presley don't hang folk 493 00:42:42,660 --> 00:42:47,039 Elvis Presley don't say people are moody and mopey behind their back neither 494 00:42:47,140 --> 00:42:49,339 Oh, we're not still on this, are we? 495 00:42:49,340 --> 00:42:54,719 He didn't say it behind your back, did he?

Or, if they are, 515 00:44:31,060 --> 00:44:37,839 they're interested in mopey girls who are drop-dead gorgeous, so they can put the mopey to one side 516 00:44:37,940 --> 00:44:40,842 But I'm pretty on the inside, Mam 517 00:44:41,042 --> 00:44:43,390 But you're not though, love 518 00:44:44,112 --> 00:44:51,716 You're moody on the inside and mopey on the outside.

The new nuns, just starting out, who don't know the ropes... 565 00:48:57,700 --> 00:49:04,700 Yes, I'd say I'm not as shy as them nuns. Not half as shy 566 00:49:11,140 --> 00:49:15,939 Paraplegics? 567 00:49:15,940 --> 00:49:21,619 I suppose it depends on if they were shy before they had their accident, doesn't it? 568 00:49:21,620 --> 00:49:28,620 Yes, good point. Or if they were born that way and there was no accident 569 00:49:29,820 --> 00:49:36,099 Some paraplegics can be right grumpy pigs 570 00:49:36,500 --> 00:49:39,979 But then you would be 571 00:49:39,980 --> 00:49:44,539 I don't know what I'd do if I was a paraplegic 572 00:49:44,740 --> 00:49:49,259 Nothing, probably 573 00:49:50,060 --> 00:49:55,499 I'd say, if it were a mute paraplegic, I reckon I'd be less shy than him 574 00:49:55,700 --> 00:49:59,399 Or her, if he were a girl mute paraplegic 575 00:49:59,500 --> 00:50:03,419 You're quite funny - Am I?

I noticed that yesterday - Did ya? 577 00:50:05,940 --> 00:50:10,319 I suppose certain people round here, it just goes over their heads, your sense of humour 578 00:50:10,420 --> 00:50:13,259 I don't know about that. But maybe 579 00:50:13,260 --> 00:50:16,859 Oh there's no maybe about it. It's just hard to come across as funny, isn't it, 580 00:50:16,860 --> 00:50:20,959 when you're surrounded by stupid thicks. I've always found, anyway 581 00:50:21,060 --> 00:50:26,819 That said, although I appreciate a good sense of humour, I don't actually come across as funny myself 582 00:50:26,820 --> 00:50:29,139 I think you... - Shush 583 00:50:29,140 --> 00:50:33,899 Even when I try to be funny, I come across more as menacing 584 00:50:33,900 --> 00:50:36,419 Which is ridiculous, because I'm nice 585 00:50:36,420 --> 00:50:40,779 But no, as hard as I try, menacing. And then the label sticks, doesn't it? 586 00:50:40,780 --> 00:50:43,099 I think you come across as funny 587 00:50:43,100 --> 00:50:47,299 Do you? Not menacing? Not even with that 'shush' I just gave you? 588 00:50:47,300 --> 00:50:52,899 No. I think you come across as funny, but different 589 00:50:52,900 --> 00:50:59,339 Funny but different... like Groucho Marx 590 00:50:59,340 --> 00:51:01,659 I don't know.

I know who you mean 594 00:51:12,540 --> 00:51:16,939 How old are you anyway? - Fifteen 595 00:51:16,940 --> 00:51:19,739 A lovely age 596 00:51:19,740 --> 00:51:21,739 It ain't - Ain't it? 597 00:51:21,740 --> 00:51:25,539 Everybody just keeps having a go at ya, and you're not allowed to do nowt 598 00:51:25,540 --> 00:51:28,139 Well, don't let them have a go at you then 599 00:51:28,140 --> 00:51:35,140 I know, but it's hard, in't it, when they're all bigger 600 00:51:55,980 --> 00:52:03,480 I hope my mam lets you have the room. That's all I can say. You'd liven the place up 601 00:52:06,060 --> 00:52:11,579 Bloody nose is full of bloody... mucus now, from that crying 602 00:52:11,580 --> 00:52:15,259 Well, yeah, I don't need to know that 603 00:52:15,260 --> 00:52:18,099 But d'you know what I couldn't fathom out from yesterday? 604 00:52:18,100 --> 00:52:20,659 No, what couldn't you fathom out from yesterday? 605 00:52:20,660 --> 00:52:26,499 Do you know Phyllis Keane or don't ya? - Phyllis Keane?

The bastards 609 00:52:41,700 --> 00:52:43,539 Poor Phyllis 610 00:52:43,540 --> 00:52:47,676 I know. I'm sitting here crying even though there's nothing really wrong, 611 00:52:47,700 --> 00:52:54,100 and she's sitting in a mental home for reading car number plates out loud. It in't fair, is it? 612 00:52:54,700 --> 00:52:57,156 Why don't you go visit her? Cheer yourselves up 613 00:52:57,180 --> 00:53:02,916 I were thinking that, but I don't know how it works with the visiting hours and it's miles 614 00:53:02,940 --> 00:53:04,540 I'll drive ya 615 00:53:04,660 --> 00:53:08,860 Will ya?

We can't do anything about it if they're closed 618 00:53:13,580 --> 00:53:18,859 Well, we could pop to the seaside then try again later, I suppose. It depends on if it's sunny, doesn't it? 619 00:53:18,860 --> 00:53:24,519 I don't know - Suit yourself 620 00:53:25,820 --> 00:53:30,579 What kind of car have ya? - A Morris Minor. It's a banger, but it'll get you there 621 00:53:30,580 --> 00:53:36,419 I gave it a turtle wax last week. I didn't have to, I just felt like it. Where's her mental home, Burnley? 622 00:53:36,420 --> 00:53:40,779 Burnley, aye, it's not too far. It's far on a bus, but not far in a car 623 00:53:40,780 --> 00:53:45,139 Where's the nearest seaside to Burnley? - I don't know. Formby? 624 00:53:45,140 --> 00:53:49,619 Do you have a swimsuit? 625 00:53:49,620 --> 00:53:51,659 Maybe - What colour is it? 626 00:53:51,660 --> 00:53:58,419 Yellow. With dots - Yes... that would go well with your hair-cclouring 627 00:53:58,420 --> 00:54:02,819 Would it? - Yes 628 00:54:02,820 --> 00:54:05,819 Does the sand go in your swimsuit, when you're sitting on the sand... 629 00:54:05,820 --> 00:54:09,619 ...down at Formby, or Walton-On-The-Naze, or wherever? 630 00:54:09,820 --> 00:54:13,299 The sand? - Yes 631 00:54:13,473 --> 00:54:17,621 I usually get a deckchair - Do you? A deckchair? 632 00:54:17,804 --> 00:54:21,191 Aye. They're only cheap - I see 633 00:54:23,220 --> 00:54:27,799 But the times when you don't get a deckchair, and you're sitting on the sand, 634 00:54:27,900 --> 00:54:31,119 does the sand go in your swimsuit then? In those places I was getting at before 635 00:54:31,320 --> 00:54:38,820 Well, I've never been to Walton-On-The-Naze. Or anywhere in Norfolk. Is it Norfolk? 636 00:54:40,620 --> 00:54:43,179 Maybe - Aye. I've never been 637 00:54:43,180 --> 00:54:45,619 How comes? Too Fancy O'Reilly? 638 00:54:45,620 --> 00:54:50,379 Well, no, you go wherever your mam and dad take you, don't you, when you're fifteen 639 00:54:50,380 --> 00:54:52,579 I don't.

I was just trying to confuse you 642 00:55:03,720 --> 00:55:09,339 I've been to Walton-On-The-Naze. I've been there many times 643 00:55:09,440 --> 00:55:16,340 I don't even know what a Naze is, but I've been to Walton on it 644 00:55:16,600 --> 00:55:19,359 I think it's like a curved headland. Although I'm not sure 645 00:55:19,360 --> 00:55:22,656 Well I don't even know what a headland is. I suppose that makes me dense 646 00:55:22,680 --> 00:55:27,080 No. If you didn't know what a curve was, that'd make you dense 647 00:55:27,520 --> 00:55:33,099 There's that sense of humour I pointed out before 648 00:55:33,400 --> 00:55:39,700 A curve, it's just a thing that goes like this, isn't it 649 00:55:52,360 --> 00:55:55,979 Your mum takes a lot of time to put her clothes on, doesn't she? 650 00:55:56,070 --> 00:55:57,469 Aye. - Oh, does she? 651 00:55:57,564 --> 00:56:00,000 What? - Take a lot of time to put her clothes on. 652 00:56:00,100 --> 00:56:02,265 I don't know. I suppose 653 00:56:05,260 --> 00:56:09,059 Well, if you still want to see Phyllis, and the seaside or whatever, 654 00:56:09,160 --> 00:56:12,699 why don't you meet me under the clock at the train station at eleven, 655 00:56:12,800 --> 00:56:14,879 after I'm finished chatting with your mum? 656 00:56:14,980 --> 00:56:19,999 I don't know, Mr Mooney. I don't know 657 00:56:20,600 --> 00:56:25,899 Phyllis'll be missing you by now. All those mad people, screaming their heads off 658 00:56:26,000 --> 00:56:33,700 I just don't know. I'm shy about these types of things. I've never been out with a boy before 659 00:56:34,020 --> 00:56:40,119 Well it's not going out, is it, I was just going to take you to a mental home. It's hardly tea at the Ritz 660 00:56:40,220 --> 00:56:44,739 Although I think I put you off a bit, didn't I, with my talk about the sand and your swimsuit, 661 00:56:44,740 --> 00:56:51,740 I can see that now, I can see how that might've sounded strange 662 00:56:52,180 --> 00:56:59,180 I'm just interested in sand 663 00:57:00,220 --> 00:57:03,939 That's where I'll be, anyway.
