Doffing hats is one thing. Sexual 386 00:27:27,100 --> 00:27:28,320 offences is quite another. 387 00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:29,399 You're right there, Mel. 388 00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:30,960 Sex and the motor trade don't mix. 389 00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:32,160 Bad image. 390 00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:34,840 Sex and Arthur Daly don't mix either. 391 00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:37,480 You've never seen him with other women. 392 00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:39,120 You shouldn't jump to conclusions. 393 00:27:39,969 --> 00:27:42,290 Well, I don't know. Maybe he's having his midlife crisis. 394 00:27:42,830 --> 00:27:47,230 Yeah, well, as far as I'm concerned, Arthur Daly is innocent until he tells 395 00:27:47,230 --> 00:27:48,230 he is guilty. 396 00:27:48,390 --> 00:27:50,410 I dare, but you're not the judge, are you? 397 00:27:50,830 --> 00:27:51,830 I am here, mate. 398 00:27:52,890 --> 00:27:55,250 You're barred. Go on, sling your look. 399 00:29:08,970 --> 00:29:13,110 Arthur! I think you need to see a doctor. Better still, a psychiatrist. 400 00:29:13,510 --> 00:29:15,290 And you're going to have to get a medical report for the call. 401 00:29:15,490 --> 00:29:17,930 You're quite right, Ray, but you've forgotten I've already got one. I'm not 402 00:29:17,930 --> 00:29:20,470 talking about your leg. Up here, Arthur. Up here. 403 00:29:20,710 --> 00:29:21,710 What are you going on about? 404 00:29:21,830 --> 00:29:23,930 Arthur, you think I... Will you? 405 00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:38,460 Come on in. I can't stop now, Arthur. Just dropped by to tell you not to 406 00:29:38,460 --> 00:29:41,240 with the cooker hoods and the lamppost. I've made other arrangements. 407 00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:44,240 Oh, that's a pity, because I've found a likely source for the cooker hoods. 408 00:29:44,540 --> 00:29:47,500 Come on in, anyway. I want to talk to you about giving evidence for me in 409 00:29:47,580 --> 00:29:48,580 I suppose you heard what happened. 410 00:29:48,740 --> 00:29:50,080 Yes, as a matter of fact, I have. 411 00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:53,420 I want you to go in the witness box and tell them why I was in the Waterloo area 412 00:29:53,420 --> 00:29:55,740 that night.

Yes, you were. 417 00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:05,540 Victorian flutes, octagonal panels. You've got to keep me out of this, 418 00:30:05,820 --> 00:30:06,820 This will ruin my business. 419 00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:08,240 I can't help you. I'm sorry. 420 00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:09,840 Hey. 421 00:30:12,820 --> 00:30:15,640 You're going to need some professional help, Arthur.

My trips 450 00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:49,060 the West End are nobody's business but mine. Please remember that.
