Now, Betty... I swear, Miss Elliot, it was only later I twigged it 22 00:01:49,180 --> 00:01:53,240 with a fiddle. I went straight to Miss Keeble and Mr Cotter. 23 00:01:53,980 --> 00:01:59,439 Well, they offered me good money and a job with their new firm if I kept my 24 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:03,140 mouth shut, out in my ear if I didn't. What choice did I have? 25 00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:04,560 You could have come to us. 26 00:02:04,700 --> 00:02:06,300 Oh, you'd have sacked me. 27 00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:08,979 I'd never have done it. 28 00:02:09,380 --> 00:02:12,720 But for Stan being away... That's hardly an excuse for deceit. 29 00:02:12,721 --> 00:02:16,999 Surely you knew what effect this would have on the house of Elliot. Or didn't 30 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:18,359 you bother to think that far ahead? 31 00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:22,479 I didn't know. I swear, it was them I wanted to get at with the newspaper, not 32 00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:23,530 you. 33 00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:30,180 When the collection was done and in the shops, they dumped me. 34 00:02:30,900 --> 00:02:32,880 Said they got other workers cheaper. 35 00:02:33,660 --> 00:02:35,880 We'd been treated bad, all of us. 36 00:02:38,180 --> 00:02:42,680 Look, you give me my job back. 37 00:02:44,010 --> 00:02:47,230 And I'll give you Grace Keeble and Larry Cotter. 38 00:02:47,790 --> 00:02:52,269 I know where they are, what they're doing, and a lot more besides things 39 00:02:52,270 --> 00:02:53,309 be interested in. 40 00:02:53,310 --> 00:02:56,330 What you have done, Betty, is unforgivable. 41 00:02:56,590 --> 00:03:00,549 I told you, I've got debt. You've endangered the livelihood of every 42 00:03:00,550 --> 00:03:01,309 these premises. 43 00:03:01,310 --> 00:03:05,129 You publicly discredit us, and then you come here asking for your job back. But 44 00:03:05,130 --> 00:03:08,500 if you knew... No, I have kindly escorted Mrs. Butcher off the premises. 45 00:03:14,990 --> 00:03:17,750 Very bad. To do such a thing for good people. 46 00:03:17,751 --> 00:03:19,069 We 47 00:03:19,070 --> 00:03:35,389 must 48 00:03:35,390 --> 00:03:36,440 act swiftly. 49 00:03:36,550 --> 00:03:39,980 Regain the trust of the store buyers. Convince them of our integrity. 50 00:03:40,630 --> 00:03:42,150 We have expensive premises. 51 00:03:43,450 --> 00:03:44,500 Idle femstresses. 52 00:03:45,390 --> 00:03:48,820 Perhaps we should just shut down the whole ready -to -wear business. 53 00:03:48,910 --> 00:03:49,960 No. 54 00:03:50,030 --> 00:03:52,050 No, I am convinced it still is a future. 55 00:03:52,690 --> 00:03:53,740 Should we, too? 56 00:03:54,830 --> 00:03:56,450 Yes, we must. 57 00:03:58,510 --> 00:04:00,290 Mrs Butcher has left the building. 58 00:04:00,291 --> 00:04:01,349 Thank you. 59 00:04:01,350 --> 00:04:04,960 Joseph, we have decided to take legal action against Cotter and Keeble. 60 00:04:04,961 --> 00:04:09,109 Now, would you telephone the solicitors, request an urgent appointment, please? 61 00:04:09,110 --> 00:04:10,430 Yes, Miss Elliot. Thank you. 62 00:04:18,250 --> 00:04:20,050 Them stitching's all over the place. 63 00:04:20,051 --> 00:04:24,029 There's no buts about it. You're a sorry excuse for a sentence, Agnes Clarke. 64 00:04:24,030 --> 00:04:25,290 This is the best you can do. 65 00:04:26,390 --> 00:04:28,010 She's getting worse, not better. 66 00:04:29,130 --> 00:04:30,180 I did that. 67 00:04:30,630 --> 00:04:33,640 What? I'll just leave it there, Madge. I'll do it again later. 68 00:04:38,590 --> 00:04:39,990 I was wrong to say what I did. 69 00:04:41,190 --> 00:04:42,240 I'm sorry. 70 00:04:42,550 --> 00:04:43,630 It's all right, Madge. 71 00:04:43,810 --> 00:04:44,860 We all make mistakes. 72 00:04:44,861 --> 00:04:50,519 Well, it's an aspect of law he's not familiar with, Miss Elliot. 73 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:54,079 He advised me that in this type of case, highly specialised knowledge is 74 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:57,400 required. He recommended a Mr Simpkins of Simpkins and Cox. 75 00:04:57,401 --> 00:05:00,899 I've made an appointment with him for three o 'clock this afternoon. 76 00:05:00,900 --> 00:05:01,950 Excellent. 77 00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:06,690 Thank you. 78 00:05:07,060 --> 00:05:09,300 Tom. Why didn't you warn me? 79 00:05:11,280 --> 00:05:12,330 Jack Maddox. 80 00:05:12,780 --> 00:05:17,699 ILP member. Vigorous campaigner for improved factory conditions while his 81 00:05:17,700 --> 00:05:20,960 runs a sweatshop. So much for our parliamentary campaign. 82 00:05:21,260 --> 00:05:24,919 My wife is the victim of confidentiality. Had all the facts been 83 00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,870 don't doubt that the facts are inaccurate or exaggerated. 84 00:05:27,980 --> 00:05:30,380 The point is it looks like blatant hypocrisy. 85 00:05:30,381 --> 00:05:34,339 This could not have come at a worse time. I have an important meeting this 86 00:05:34,340 --> 00:05:37,999 Saturday with a group of influential factory owners and I had hoped to 87 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:39,320 them to offer decent wages. 88 00:05:39,420 --> 00:05:41,590 How can they take me seriously after this? 89 00:05:41,591 --> 00:05:47,199 I will resign from the party, of course. That would hardly resolve the immediate 90 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:48,250 problem. 91 00:05:48,251 --> 00:05:52,119 Tom, would you let me talk to these industrialists? I'll tell them the full 92 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:55,859 story. What makes you think they'd listen to you? Because I can show them 93 00:05:55,860 --> 00:05:57,600 the same thing could happen to them. 94 00:05:57,601 --> 00:06:00,079 It wouldn't work. Well, let me at least try. 95 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,210 Surely I deserve a chance to salvage something from this mess. 96 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:09,280 The copied outfits were on sale to the general public before your originals. 97 00:06:09,340 --> 00:06:11,500 Yes. Regrettably, then, we have no case. 98 00:06:11,501 --> 00:06:14,559 In the eyes of the law, they have not committed a crime. 99 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:16,060 They have defrauded us. 100 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:20,590 The Christel and the Aurora collections are, I understand, not identical. 101 00:06:20,591 --> 00:06:21,739 Merely similar. 102 00:06:21,740 --> 00:06:22,940 You're splitting hairs. 103 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:27,119 How could we prove they were yours when Miss Keeble was also responsible for 104 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:28,859 many of the House of Elliot designs? 105 00:06:28,860 --> 00:06:32,470 You come highly recommended as a specialist in this field, Mr Simpkins. 106 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:34,580 There must be some way. I'm sorry. 107 00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:37,450 It would be pointless to initiate proceedings. 108 00:06:37,500 --> 00:06:40,520 There is also the matter of the Semstress's hours and wages. 109 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:42,260 Cotter deceived us. 110 00:06:42,261 --> 00:06:46,639 The burden of proof, very complicated in this instance, would be on the House of 111 00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:47,690 Elliot. 112 00:06:47,940 --> 00:06:50,600 Such a case would attract much adverse publicity. 113 00:06:50,980 --> 00:06:52,060 This is preposterous. 114 00:06:52,900 --> 00:06:55,440 How can they get away with it so easily? 115 00:06:55,441 --> 00:06:59,159 The Messenger article makes it quite clear that the House of Elliot disputes 116 00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:02,740 accusation and that you personally had no knowledge of the situation. 117 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:05,260 My advice to you is do nothing. 118 00:07:06,020 --> 00:07:09,150 Allow everything to settle down and avoid further publicity. 119 00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:14,890 It's all my fault. 120 00:07:14,891 --> 00:07:18,799 If I hadn't been so keen to take on Larry and Grace, none of this would have 121 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:20,000 happened. You were right. 122 00:07:20,001 --> 00:07:21,639 I'm sorry. 123 00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:23,140 No, the decisions were sound. 124 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:25,120 No one could have foreseen this. 125 00:07:25,121 --> 00:07:28,919 What's so infuriating is we're being judged guilty without the chance to 126 00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:29,970 ourselves. 127 00:07:36,851 --> 00:07:44,039 Those poor women at Bayswater have been treated appallingly. I don't want to see 128 00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,539 them lose their jobs. Most of them have children to support. 129 00:07:46,540 --> 00:07:51,239 Look, most of the buyers liked our designs, and giving up would be letting 130 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:55,360 and Larry win. I agree, but we still must dispose of the Aurora collection. 131 00:07:57,220 --> 00:07:58,270 America? 132 00:07:59,920 --> 00:08:02,210 Well, I'll get Joseph to make some inquiries. 133 00:08:02,211 --> 00:08:06,019 Now, we must get on and plan the next season. I don't think it's going to be 134 00:08:06,020 --> 00:08:09,330 difficult to adapt last spring's couture ideas for Ready to Wear. 135 00:08:09,331 --> 00:08:12,199 Well, Evie, it's going to be difficult enough coming up with a couture on time. 136 00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:14,859 Designing two separate collections, it's out of the question. 137 00:08:14,860 --> 00:08:16,240 Do they have to be separate? 138 00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:20,499 We could design them both simultaneously, adapt our new couture 139 00:08:20,500 --> 00:08:23,690 any embellishments or details which require hand -finishing. 140 00:08:24,140 --> 00:08:26,310 It's one thing we learnt from Larry Cotter. 141 00:08:26,311 --> 00:08:30,359 Would our couture clients accept that? The label would be different. 142 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:32,830 House of Elliot couture would remain exclusive. 143 00:08:34,380 --> 00:08:36,600 But we cannot manage it all by ourselves. 144 00:08:36,601 --> 00:08:39,519 At least when Grace was here, we could... And I am not keen on taking on 145 00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:41,640 designer, not at the moment. No, nor am I. 146 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:43,500 But we do need help. 147 00:08:46,180 --> 00:08:47,230 There is Miles. 148 00:08:47,860 --> 00:08:49,120 Miles is an illustrator. 149 00:08:49,121 --> 00:08:51,879 But he has done some designing. Remember those sketches? 150 00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:54,050 Yes, yes, they were rather good, actually. 151 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:56,480 His instincts are right, every time. 152 00:08:57,220 --> 00:08:59,330 Yeah, you said yourself he shows promise. 153 00:08:59,331 --> 00:09:03,519 You don't have to give us your decision immediately, but, well, we would like it 154 00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:04,720 in a couple of days' time. 155 00:09:04,740 --> 00:09:07,210 No, I don't need a couple of days. The answer is yes. 156 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:08,370 I'll take the job. 157 00:09:08,660 --> 00:09:09,710 When do I start? 158 00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:11,360 As soon as we come up with a theme. 159 00:09:11,361 --> 00:09:12,899 Thank you. 160 00:09:12,900 --> 00:09:13,980 You won't regret this. 161 00:09:13,981 --> 00:09:17,179 We thought that Katya could help you at the workshop. Would that suit you? 162 00:09:17,180 --> 00:09:18,230 Certainly. 163 00:09:18,300 --> 00:09:19,350 Good. 164 00:09:19,351 --> 00:09:21,799 The collection won't be ready unless we make a start today. 165 00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:23,480 Let's meet at my flat this evening. 166 00:09:23,900 --> 00:09:25,220 See what we can come up with. 167 00:09:26,140 --> 00:09:27,190 Mark?

I understand we're sitting together at dinner. 575 00:38:32,980 --> 00:38:36,040 Viscount Dunbarton. We, um, have mutual friends, I believe. 576 00:38:36,041 --> 00:38:37,759 I'm surprised we haven't met before. 577 00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:38,810 Shall we? 578 00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:43,530 Good evening. 579 00:38:43,580 --> 00:38:44,900 Mrs. Eunice Dogg. 580 00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:48,400 Mr. Page, I see you've met Mrs. Dogg. 581 00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:51,620 I'm sure you'll have much to talk about over dinner. 582 00:39:06,990 --> 00:39:09,190 You're backing the wrong horse, Maddox. 583 00:39:10,890 --> 00:39:14,949 The Tories won't condemn a man, or his wife for that matter, for honest 584 00:39:14,950 --> 00:39:18,450 endeavors. Hardly call exploitation of workers honest endeavors. 585 00:39:18,750 --> 00:39:21,040 Companies do have the rights to make a profit. 586 00:39:21,041 --> 00:39:23,529 Our bill won't put an end to profit. On the contrary, it will ensure that it's 587 00:39:23,530 --> 00:39:26,169 earned fairly and not at the expense of the very people who helped create it in 588 00:39:26,170 --> 00:39:27,049 the first place. 589 00:39:27,050 --> 00:39:28,969 Batterton's bill doesn't have a chart. 590 00:39:28,970 --> 00:39:31,969 I wouldn't be so sure about that, Gary.

Which won't change a thing. 592 00:39:34,501 --> 00:39:36,429 The workers won't put up with this treatment forever. 593 00:39:36,430 --> 00:39:40,589 Oh, you speak from experience, do you? More simply, as a representative of the 594 00:39:40,590 --> 00:39:44,229 masses. Perhaps we might hear your proposals for feeding the masses once 595 00:39:44,230 --> 00:39:48,010 factories have been bankrupted. Ah, communist rebellion, perhaps. 596 00:39:50,210 --> 00:39:55,790 Yes? What am I doing here, Jake? These aren't my people. 597 00:39:56,070 --> 00:39:57,690 I might say the same thing myself. 598 00:39:57,930 --> 00:39:59,130 You want another drink? 599 00:39:59,270 --> 00:40:00,320 No, no. 600 00:40:01,350 --> 00:40:03,460 I go easy on that stuff whenever you don't. 601 00:40:04,470 --> 00:40:05,910 You know, all the right moves. 602 00:40:06,270 --> 00:40:07,470 I wish that were the case. 603 00:40:07,830 --> 00:40:08,880 Excuse me. 604 00:40:15,810 --> 00:40:19,450 I just... funds in a new band show for musical review in the West End. 605 00:40:19,670 --> 00:40:21,050 Oh, an exciting investment. 606 00:40:21,130 --> 00:40:23,630 Well, I hope it's as successful as done it. 607 00:40:24,430 --> 00:40:26,790 363 nights at the Hippodrome.
