Welcome back to Play Of The Week,

2
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:17,240
where each week a new play
is performed live in front

3
00:00:17,240 --> 00:00:21,680
of a studio audience here in Cornley
and broadcast to the nation.

4
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:25,120
I am Chris Bean...the director!

5
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:27,880
Last week, you joined us

6
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:30,520
for our thrilling, unlicensed sequel
<font color="

7
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:32,840
entitled More Horse.

8
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:35,720
I'd like to thank all those
who wrote in with their complaints.

9
00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:38,360
The criticisms offered
were as artistically sound

10
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:40,200
as they were personally abusive.

11
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:46,280
Needless to say, I will never again
<font color="

12
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:50,680
So, tonight's piece
is a period romance.

13
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:54,680
The actors are prepared,
the stage is set.

14
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:57,920
Please enjoy Harper's Locket!

15
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:17,600
CLONK!

16
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:20,160
Bravo, Celeste!

17
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:23,320
I always say you can get the measure
<font color="

18
00:01:23,320 --> 00:01:24,760
she swings a mallet.

19
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,280
And I always say you can get
the measure of a man by seeing

20
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:29,720
how often he insists
upon measuring ladies.

21
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:33,000
Now, now, Celeste, be nice
to your fiance. Your turn, Edwin.

22
00:01:36,320 --> 00:01:38,120
CLONK!

There's a storm coming.
I can feel it in the air.

25
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:53,320
Celeste! The sun is shining
and the sparrows are in flight.

26
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:56,160
LOUD SQUAWKING

27
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:57,760
How tranquil it is.

28
00:01:57,760 --> 00:01:59,640
Sparrows are so beautiful.

29
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,720

Emily, how is your painting
coming along?

33
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:17,120
It's very nearly finished, Father.
Well, I can't wait to see it.

34
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,400
Where is your butler
<font color="

35
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:21,400
I asked him for it ten minutes ago.

36
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:23,000
If he was my man, I'd...

37
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:28,760
If he was my man,
I'd have him flogged.

38
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:32,240
Really, Edwin! I'd never dream
of harming a member of my staff.

39
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:46,080
I grow weary of this game.

40
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,440
<font color="
She's a coward, eh, Edwin?

41
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:49,960
BANG!

42
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:54,720
Excuse me.

43
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:56,200
She certainly is a coward.

44
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,520
But that shall all have to change
when we're married.

45
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:01,800
Father, please can we go outside?
Not until we've had our lemonade.

Delicious.

49
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:19,960
Did Mrs Hargreaves make it?

50
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,000
Did you? Bravo. Wonderful.

51
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:24,920
Shake my hand.
Don't shake my hand, in fact.

52
00:03:24,920 --> 00:03:26,640
Just, er, open the wine cellar,
will you?

53

On your way. What a good man.

54
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:30,560

seen Emily's painting yet.

57
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:39,120
Oh, yes, Emily. Do show us
your latest masterpiece.

58
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,840
<font color="
It is the very likeness of us.

59
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:51,680
And you've included a frog.

60
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:55,840
Yes. It's the only thing
I know how to paint.

61
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,240

Let's head inside. Mm.

What do you think of Edwin?

71
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:22,240
He is a fine gentleman.

you'll be most happy with him.

00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:29,920

Please, Celeste!

No, Edwin!

Stable boy!

Stable boy! Oh! Sir. You didn't see
anything just now, did you?

193
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,520
Nothing at all, sir.

Of course. I didn't imagine
you could afford such fine things.

I could...

..help you with that.

199
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:51,640
Take this.

QUIETLY: Don't take it.

No, I couldn't possibly, sir!

No no.

Apples.

Horses don't buy apples!
They would if they had money.

Of course.

Step out, will you, Smythe?
Yes, sir.

Smythe didn't hear you say that.

He is like a father to that boy.
As I say, rather unfortunate.

238
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:53,240
I'll send for him now.
Smythe, come in here, will you?

Yes. I need to have a word with him.
Sorry about all this, Edw...

So sorry about all this, Edwin.
Oh, no, not at all.

Don't play the fool with me.
What do you mean?

PIANO STOPS

363
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:19,560

seeing you marry, I wonder?

365
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:27,040
I...

366
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:30,640
..have no intention of marrying
any time soon, Father.

367
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:32,720
So young to have
sworn off men already.

HE CHUCKLES

369
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:36,320

00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:41,880
to...find them...quite beastly.

372
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:52,040
Father...

373
00:22:54,120 --> 00:22:55,880
..would you carve the rump?

374
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:09,760
Please, allow me
to season it first, sir.

375
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:19,840
And I'll, er, just...

376
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:22,360
..check that it is cooked through.

that that's fine to eat,

378
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:31,800
although we will not eat that.

379
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:36,160
I quite agree with you, Emily.

380
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:41,120
There are some gentlemen who are
barely men and anything but gentle.

381
00:23:41,120 --> 00:23:44,000
I can't stand
another moment of this!

<font color="

383
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:48,000
and all the while,
you are lying to us!

384
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,480
I don't know what you mean!
Don't play the fool.

385
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:53,000
You're wearing Harper's locket.

Is this true, Celeste?!

389
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:04,240
It is, Father. I love him.

390
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:05,800
And I love her.

391
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:08,040
This is too much

Emily, please! Edwin and I
have been having a liaison.

00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:19,040
Oh, my heart!

396
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:22,680
Can you ever forgive me, Celeste?

397
00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:26,160
My love, it's time.
We must flee this cruel house.

398
00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:29,240
You'll not be going anywhere

THEY GASP

00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:33,760
Action!

401
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:40,600
You're right, we probably
could have used less.

402
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:43,600
Treacle! Treacle! No!

STUDIO AUDIENCE: Awww!

404
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:50,680
Oh, Edwin, how could you?
Now that the horse is dead,

BANG!

00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:05,560
Celeste, no!

409
00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:07,240
Edwin!

410
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:15,200
ARGH!

411
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:20,280
Celeste? Oh, dear Celeste,
don't die.

Look how happy we were
just a few hours ago...

..playing croquet
without a care in the world.

415
00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:32,560
A frog was there.

416
00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:34,320
SHE GASPS

417
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:36,480
Celeste, you're alive!
How?

Harper's locket!

Thank God!

420
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:46,440
But what about Treacle?

421
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:47,480
Treacle! Treacle!

422
00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:51,320
She's alive!
She's going to be all right!

423

VACUUM WHIRS
No, Treacle! Treacle, no!

424

Bray, bray!

428
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:09,800
Father, I am so sorry
to have caused you such pain.

429
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:14,520
My darling girl, all I ever wanted
was for you to be happy.

430
00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:18,120
If Harper makes you happy,
then you have my blessing.

Indeed.

437

Emily, are you all right?
<font color="

438
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:49,040
Edwin was a frightful man who preyed
upon me in my young..."naivete".

439
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:50,680
BANG!

440
00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:55,800
Excuse me...

441
00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:00,840
I'm so sorry to have inflicted
that dreadful man upon you.

442
00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:02,080
Well, I say...

443
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:04,760
..good riddance to him.

The storm has passed.

Harper?

448
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:31,080
Perhaps you'd like
to join us inside.

449

Thank you, sir.

Of course, Father!
