I'm afraid this wasn't very well timed. 58 00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:35,000 I couldn't be happier. 59 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:38,960 I bought two dozen nappies yesterday - one coupon each. 60 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:40,960 I don't know what we're going to do about his clothes. 61 00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:42,960 Well, last time I saw Sam, 62 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:44,800 she'd got her hands on an army blanket 63 00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:46,480 and was turning it into a romper suit. 64 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:49,960 That's a fine start in life. An old blanket. 65 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:51,960 At least he'll be born in a world without war. 66 00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:54,960 Oh!

Nothing to do with me, Sergeant. 72 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:14,000 There's a Mr Griffiths waiting for you, sir. Local councillor. 73 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,960 I put him in your office.

It's in the bag. 79 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,960 And when you get your pip, maybe you can put in a word for me. 80 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:36,960 No, not there. 81 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:41,160 It's the Victory Day celebrations. Is it? What's the matter with them? 82 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:44,000 Well, large numbers of people out on the streets day and night. 83 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:47,960 The council has a responsibility, and there are certain issues 84 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,960 we have to keep in mind. What issues in particular? 85 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:52,960 As far as I'm concerned, none at all. 86 00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:55,640 But as you'll see, I've been asked to chair a committee 87 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,000 to look into all aspects of public order and safety. 88 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,960 We've taken a room at the museum. 89 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:02,960 It was the only space we could get. 90 00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:04,960 Your name is at the top. 91 00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,960 Well, ten o'clock tomorrow.

Thank you. 96 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,800 Bye. 97 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,960 Thank you, Mr Longmate.

I think even most Labour MPs expect it. 104 00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:54,960 Is it true you're planning a victory celebration 105 00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:56,960 in the streets of Hastings? That's right. 106 00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:59,960 You're paying for it yourself? Yes. 107 00:06:59,960 --> 00:07:01,960 You don't think people might see that 108 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:04,960 as an inducement to vote for you in the election? 109 00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:07,960 You mean a bribe? 110 00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:10,960 (TUTS) Well, I certainly hope not. 111 00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:14,960 I think you underestimate the electorate, Mr Charman. 112 00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,960 You ask any of my staff here at the hotel. 113 00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:19,960 We deserve a party, and we're going to have one. 114 00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,960 The fact that I'm paying for it is neither here nor there. 115 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:24,960 Thank you very much, sir. 116 00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:26,960 Always glad to talk to the Chronicle. 117 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,960 Sir, we've had a notification of the committee meeting. 118 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:32,960 It's tomorrow morning at ten o'clock. 119 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,640 At the town hall? They had to move it to the museum. 120 00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:37,960 There's a shortage of space. Nothing surprises me. 121 00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:39,960 This whole town's turned on its head. 122 00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:41,960 Would you like me to attend? Ah, yes. 123 00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:45,960 It would be good if you could take minutes, Miss Hylton. Anything else? 124 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:47,960 We're getting an awful lot of requests for rooms. 125 00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:49,960 The telephone's been ringing non-stop. 126 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:53,960 Hastings, the seaside, the end of the war. 127 00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:55,960 Where else would you want to be? 128 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,960 I've got something for you. Oh, come in. 129 00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:10,320 It didn't turn out quite as I'd hoped, but... 130 00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,960 It was that army blanket. For the baby! 131 00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:22,960 Oh! Thank you, Sam. It's... 132 00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:24,960 Edith will love it. 133 00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:28,960 Any news on the move yet? I still haven't got my promotion. 134 00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:30,960 Well, they'd be mad not to promote you. 135 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,960 Oh, if you do go to Brighton, will you need a driver? 136 00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:38,960 I don't think I'll get a car. 137 00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:40,960 Darn.

How did it go? 141 00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:53,960 Not very well, I'm afraid, sir. Oh? 142 00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:56,960 I really don't know what I'll do after the war. 143 00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:58,960 I am glad Adolf's finally copped it and all that, 144 00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,960 but a part of me can't help wishing it would go on another year. 145 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:03,960 Well, I'm glad we don't all think like that. 146 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:07,960 No. It's a stupid thing to say, I suppose. 147 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:09,960 I don't know. This place is closing down, 148 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:13,960 you're retiring, Milner's transferring to Brighton. 149 00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:16,960 We've been together so long, I feel I'm losing my family. 150 00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:19,960 I don't know what I'm going to do. 151 00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:23,960 I've tried advertising, accountancy, three other offices, 152 00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:25,960 but nobody seems to want me. 153 00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:26,960 I'll probably go back to Leominster, 154 00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:30,800 live with my parents and become a governess or something. 155 00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:33,960 Something here might interest you. 156 00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:36,960 Is it a job? Well, sort of. 157 00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:38,960 Organisation called SSAFA. Mean anything? 158 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:40,960 No, sir. What is it? 159 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,960 Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Families Association. 160 00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,800 They help returning servicemen. 161 00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:48,960 Help them how? I'm not altogether sure, 162 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:51,960 but they need volunteers, and it could be right up your street. 163 00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,960 All right, sir. I'll breeze along. 164 00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:03,960 Don't you want to reconsider? 165 00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,960 Reconsider what? Retiring. 166 00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:10,960 Um...no, thank you. 167 00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:45,960 Did you get the bread? Where did this come from? 168 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,640 What? It was on the front door. 169 00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:50,960 A tiger? Yes. Who put it there? 170 00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:54,960 I didn't see it. It wasn't there this morning. 171 00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:56,960 What is the matter with you, Mark? 172 00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:59,800 What is it? Nothing. 173 00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:01,960 It must be something. It's obviously upset you. 174 00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:05,000 It's nothing. 175 00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:08,960 Perhaps you ought to take something.

A place called Ist. 368 00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:45,960 Ist? 369 00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:48,960 That's a funny name. Yeah. 370 00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:50,960 We'll have to find it on the map. 371 00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:55,640 It would have been easier knowing where you were. 372 00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:58,320 That was the worst of it. 373 00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:00,960 Well, we moved around a bit. 374 00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:03,960 Here...give me a hug. 375 00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:14,960 You feel different. What are you talking about? 376 00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:17,960 I don't know. You've put on weight. 377 00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:19,960 That's not a nice thing to say! 378 00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:22,960 No. It suits you. It's funny though. 379 00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:25,960 What? 380 00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:27,960 Nothing. 381 00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:29,960 You're different too, Eddie. 382 00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:33,960 How?

Of course I'm not. 389 00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:53,960 But I've got to let Mr Longmate know. 390 00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:56,960 I'll have to call in. Who's Mr Longmate? 391 00:22:56,960 --> 00:23:00,960 My boss. I wrote to you. 392 00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:04,960 The Majestic Hotel. He gave me a job. 393 00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:06,960 Is that all he gave you? 394 00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:09,320 Don't say things like that! 395 00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:11,960 Why don't you come along with me? 396 00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:14,800 Yeah.

You can meet Mr Longmate. 398 00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:19,960 Maybe he can help you. 399 00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:23,960 Why should I need any help? You need a job. 400 00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:25,960 A job? Work? 401 00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:30,960 The war's over, Eddie.

You'd be surprised 411 00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:03,960 how many people find it impossible to sleep 412 00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:07,960 without bombs dropping, and sirens. I need something. 413 00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:12,960 What you need is to rest. Rest. 414 00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:16,960 What is it you've got on your mind? I'm being persecuted. 415 00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:18,960 Persecuted? 416 00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:21,960 Because of what happened. It was terrible. Horrible. 417 00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:23,960 But it wasn't just me. Please, old chap. 418 00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:25,960 Try to calm down. You're not making sense. 419 00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:28,960 Why are they blaming me? Nobody's blaming you for anything. 420 00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:30,960 You've worked yourself up into a state. 421 00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:32,960 I can't even go out of the house. 422 00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:34,960 Look, I'm going to give you a prescription. 423 00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:37,960 Something to calm you down and help you to sleep. 424 00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:40,960 And I think you should give our next committee meeting a miss. 425 00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:43,960 You're in no state for anything. It wasn't my fault! 426 00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:46,000 I don't deserve this! 427 00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:56,960 I'm very, very pleased to meet you, Edward. 428 00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:58,960 You didn't tell me he was coming home. 429 00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:01,640 I didn't know. 430 00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:03,960 Can I get you anything? A drink? Something to eat? 431 00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:05,960 I'm all right, thank you, sir. Do sit down. 432 00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:12,800 Well, I imagine you've been around the houses, then. 433 00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:16,960 Tunisia, Greece, Albania, Libya and Italy. That's right, sir. 434 00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:19,960 Quite a war. You could say that. 435 00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:22,640 You're glad it's over? 436 00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:27,960 I can imagine you'll find it hard to adapt - 437 00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:31,960 Civvy Street and all that. I just need time to myself, sir. 438 00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:34,320 With my wife. Of course. Janice, 439 00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:35,960 you must take as much time off as you need. 440 00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:40,960 I hate to let you down, Mr Longmate. Don't even think of it. 441 00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:42,960 And Edward, when you've had a chance to settle in a bit, 442 00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:46,640 you must come and see me. You were a joiner before the war? 443 00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:48,960 A general carpenter, sir. 444 00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:50,960 We've plenty of work. We'll have a place for you. 445 00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:55,960 What about the committee, Mr Longmate? 446 00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:59,960 Susan can come with me. Don't worry. 447 00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:05,960 The luggage is in? All in, sir. 448 00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:11,800 LID BANGS 449 00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:13,960 It's nothing, Eddie. Come on! 450 00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:23,160 I have an appointment with Mr Longmate. It's Miss Stewart. 451 00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:25,640 I'll let him know you're here. 452 00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:33,960 Well, here we are again. Just like old times. 453 00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:35,960 Is it? 454 00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:37,960 You tell me. Here. I brought you something. 455 00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:42,000 That's very kind of you. 456 00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:45,960 I figured supplies might be low. You're right. 457 00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:47,960 You can open it. 458 00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:50,640 Oh, it's a bit early for me. 459 00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:53,960 Not for me. Sit down. 460 00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:59,960 Water? No, thanks. 461 00:26:59,960 --> 00:27:03,960 How's your boy? I wish I knew. 462 00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:05,960 He's in Malta. Haven't heard for quite a while. 463 00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:09,320 So why do you want to see me? 464 00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:12,960 I said I'd like to see you if you had time. Not quite the same thing. 465 00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:17,960 So this isn't official? No. 466 00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:21,960 Bottoms up. 467 00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:27,960 Another? No, thank you, Christopher. 468 00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:29,960 I don't need another. 469 00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:32,480 You asked me to come over here. I want to know why. 470 00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:35,960 Well, look, it just occurred to me 471 00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:39,160 that after the surprise of meeting the other day, 472 00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:41,960 you've been in Hastings, haven't been in touch - I wondered 473 00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:46,640 if everything was all right. I'm fine. Glad to be back. 474 00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:50,960 You've been in Devon. Is that right? Yeah. 475 00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:53,960 And it rained even more than it does here. 476 00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:56,960 Do any fishing? Never got the chance. 477 00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:59,960 Well, listen, I'm going out tomorrow. Interested? 478 00:27:59,960 --> 00:28:02,480 I thought we were all meeting again tomorrow. 479 00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:04,960 The goddamn committee. The goddamn committee 480 00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:06,960 is in the afternoon. We've got the morning. 481 00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:09,800 No thanks, Christopher. I'll pass. 482 00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:13,960 I kind of lost the taste for fishing over the years. 483 00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:16,960 I'm sorry to hear that. 484 00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:20,320 I lost the taste for a lot of things. 485 00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:22,960 You know what? 486 00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:26,960 I just want to go home. That's about the size of it. 487 00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:32,960 Well, here we are. Please take a seat. 488 00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:40,960 Um, tell me about your war, Miss Stewart. 489 00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:44,960 Well, there's not much to tell, really. 490 00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:47,960 I started out in the MTC. Motorised Transport Corps. 491 00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:49,960 And then I was transferred to the police. 492 00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:52,960 A detective? No such luck. 493 00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:56,160 A driver. And that's what I've been doing ever since. 494 00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:58,480 And are you interested in politics? 495 00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:00,960 Absolutely. 496 00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:03,960 So what are your views on, for example, Beveridge 497 00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:05,960 and his ideas for a National Health Service? 498 00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:08,960 Oh, I'm all for it. 499 00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:10,960 But we also want to reduce taxation. 500 00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:14,960 Can't you do both? It may not be possible. 501 00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:17,960 Ah. That is a bit tricky, isn't it? 502 00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:21,960 Have you thought about Labour plans for public ownership? 503 00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:24,000 Constantly. 504 00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:28,480 Look. I don't really know much about politics, Mr Longmate. 505 00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:30,000 In fact I don't really know anything. 506 00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:33,960 But it seems to me we trusted Mr Churchill to get us through the war, 507 00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:35,960 and we ought to trust him with the peace. 508 00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:38,960 Well, that's very honest of you, Miss Stewart, 509 00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:41,960 and honesty in politics can be a very rare commodity. 510 00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:44,000 I wonder if you'd have lunch with me tomorrow? 511 00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:46,960 Oh! Well, I'm not sure I'm - 512 00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:51,960 I'm sorry. That's forward of me. Please don't take it the wrong way. 513 00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:55,960 You see, a large part of the work, being my personal assistant, 514 00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:59,960 will involve one-to-one contact with me and with my constituents. 515 00:29:59,960 --> 00:30:01,960 We need to know that we can get along. 516 00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:03,960 So all I'm proposing is something 517 00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:06,480 a little less formal than this interview. 518 00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:09,960 I'm afraid I'm not free for lunch. I'm working with SSAFA. 519 00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:13,960 That's very commendable. Does you credit. How about dinner? 520 00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:17,960 Tomorrow? The hotel has a very good cook. 521 00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:20,960 I suppose so. All right. 522 00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:23,960 Well, I'll see you here at seven o'clock, and we can talk some more. 523 00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:31,960 You're not eating anything. I'm not hungry. 524 00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:34,800 You must be hungry. 525 00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:36,320 That's the best tinned salmon. 526 00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:40,960 I don't know the last time I opened a tin. I never have enough points. 527 00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:42,960 Where did you get it? The hotel. 528 00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:47,960 Longmate? What's wrong with you, Eddie? 529 00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:52,960 Yes, he gave it to me for you. He's looked after me. 530 00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:54,960 What's that meant to mean? 531 00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:57,160 He's given me a job! 532 00:30:57,160 --> 00:30:59,960 I had to do something while you were away. 533 00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:07,960 Is this how it's going to be? 534 00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:10,640 You've come back, but it's like I hardly know you. 535 00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:18,960 I need to see someone. Who? 536 00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:22,320 The quack. I've got gut-rot. I need to see someone. 537 00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:27,960 I'll make you an appointment. It's all right. I've done it. 538 00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:30,960 Dr Ziegler. Ziegler? 539 00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:32,960 I'm seeing him tomorrow. 540 00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:37,960 You should let me look after you. 541 00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:45,160 You can. I'll tell you where you can start. 542 00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:48,960 What is it you're not telling me? 543 00:31:59,960 --> 00:32:04,960 Where've you been? The pub. I felt like a drink. 544 00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:08,160 You could have had a drink here. There's nothing in the pantry. 545 00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:09,960 Have you eaten? 546 00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:11,960 No. 547 00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:15,960 Would you like something?
