about railways

And don't forget
to watch the dickey bird.

25
00:03:48,875 --> 00:03:50,457
Watch the birdie.

- (All) Yes.

00:04:37,250 --> 00:04:40,165
That's not loud enough.
Do you believe in fairies?

35
00:04:40,291 --> 00:04:41,665
Yes!

00:04:41,791 --> 00:04:44,457
It's still not loud enough.
Do you believe in fairies?

37
00:04:44,583 --> 00:04:45,999
YES!

38
00:04:46,125 --> 00:04:47,665
Yes, I certainly do!

absolutely fabulous.

43
00:05:11,291 --> 00:05:12,832
Well done!

44
00:05:16,791 --> 00:05:18,374
(Father) Happy Christmas!

45
00:05:19,791 --> 00:05:21,374

Dad... it's perfect.

00:05:52,125 --> 00:05:56,082
It's more perfect
than any one could ever dream of.

53
00:05:57,916 --> 00:06:00,499
Thank you, Dad.

00:06:01,458 --> 00:06:05,040

came quite suddenly.'

You heaving brute!

'And that was the last we saw
of poor Potts.'

00:06:29,166 --> 00:06:31,499
What a wreck!

58
00:06:31,625 --> 00:06:33,249
- Is there any hope?
- Hope?

59
00:06:33,375 --> 00:06:37,249
Of course, it'll want hope yes,
and a new valve.

60
00:06:37,375 --> 00:06:39,832
I'll tell you what, I'll give up
Saturday afternoon to it.

61
00:06:39,958 --> 00:06:41,457
Yes, and you can help me.

(Doorbell rings)

63
00:06:43,375 --> 00:06:45,999
I hate doing a job like this
especially at Christmas.

64
00:06:46,125 --> 00:06:47,665
Who on earth is that?

65
00:06:47,791 --> 00:06:51,749
An Englishman's house is his castle, but
I wish they had moats and drawbridges!

67
00:06:53,125 --> 00:06:54,624
Come in.

68
00:06:55,916 --> 00:06:57,249
Yes?

69
00:06:57,375 --> 00:06:59,999
Please, sir. There are two gentlemen
wish to see you.

70
00:07:00,125 --> 00:07:03,790
I've shown them into the study, sir,
I hope that was all right?

71
00:07:05,291 --> 00:07:07,165
Excuse me.

72
00:07:22,458 --> 00:07:24,915
I wish we did have
a moat and drawbridge.

73
00:07:25,041 --> 00:07:26,665
Then if we didn't want anyone to...

74
00:07:26,791 --> 00:07:30,332
(Father) I've never heard anything
so preposterous. When? Who?

75
00:07:30,458 --> 00:07:32,582
- Why's Daddy shouting?
- I don't know, dear.

76
00:07:32,708 --> 00:07:34,124
- (Knock on door)
- Come in.

77
00:07:36,041 --> 00:07:37,082
Yes, Ruth?

78
00:07:40,250 --> 00:07:41,249
What is it?

79
00:07:41,375 --> 00:07:46,040
Please, ma'am, the Master wants you
to just step into the study.

Look, I'm not going to say a thing!

81

Come in.

82
00:08:11,458 --> 00:08:13,040
I will not!

Ruth will put you to bed.

88

But you promised we could stay up late.
Daddy was going to play with us.

Father's been
called away...on business.

90

Go up at once darlings, please.

91
00:10:21,166 --> 00:10:23,665
It wasn't bad news,
was it, Mummy?

92
00:10:23,791 --> 00:10:26,499
Is anyone dead or...

93
00:10:26,625 --> 00:10:29,249
Oh, no, nobody's dead.

94
00:10:29,375 --> 00:10:32,082
I can't tell you anything about it tonight.
Up you go.

95
00:10:51,208 --> 00:10:55,457
96...97...98...99...100.

96
00:11:05,125 --> 00:11:07,624
Well, good night then.

98
00:11:16,083 --> 00:11:17,582
What's up?

99
00:11:17,708 --> 00:11:20,499
Ask me no questions
and I'll tell you no lies.

100
00:11:20,625 --> 00:11:22,124
You'll know soon enough.

- Phyl?
- Yes.

103
00:11:56,416 --> 00:12:00,915
If Mother doesn't want us to know
she's been crying then we won't know.

104
00:12:01,041 --> 00:12:04,082
- That's all.
- All right.

105
00:12:12,541 --> 00:12:15,749
She's gone into London,
that's all I know.

106
00:12:15,875 --> 00:12:18,499
Now just you eat up.

107
00:12:20,375 --> 00:12:25,165
Some dire calamity's happening,
I just know it.

108
00:12:43,250 --> 00:12:46,165
Good evening, Mrs Waterbury.

109
00:12:55,708 --> 00:12:57,915
- Good evening, ma'am.
- Good evening, Sally.

110
00:12:58,041 --> 00:13:02,582
Oh, it's so cold!
Let's get to the fire, Peter, come on.

111
00:13:03,708 --> 00:13:06,624
My darlings, those men last night
did bring very bad news

112
00:13:06,750 --> 00:13:08,415
and Father will be away
for some time

113
00:13:08,541 --> 00:13:10,790
Is it something to do
with the Government, Mummy?

114
00:13:10,916 --> 00:13:12,165
Yes...yes, it is.

115
00:13:14,208 --> 00:13:16,582
Now it's bed time, my darlings.

116
00:13:21,458 --> 00:13:25,374
And don't worry.
It will all come right in the end.

117
00:13:25,500 --> 00:13:29,665
Don't you worry either
because we'll be as good as gold.

118
00:13:36,583 --> 00:13:41,707
Oh, we used to say life was so dull...
Nothing ever happened like in books.

119
00:13:41,833 --> 00:13:43,332
Now something has happened.

120
00:13:43,458 --> 00:13:47,790
Yes, it has
and it's made Mother unhappy.

121
00:13:49,458 --> 00:13:51,790
Everything's horrid...

122
00:13:51,916 --> 00:13:53,457
...just horrid.

in the country, up in Yorkshire.

175
00:17:44,416 --> 00:17:47,165
- What?
- I know you'll love it

176
00:17:47,291 --> 00:17:52,290
- Is Aunt Emma coming?
- No, Peter, unfortunately not.

177
00:17:56,458 --> 00:17:59,290
- Don't you want a 1st Class, madam?
- No, Second. Thank you.

178
00:17:59,416 --> 00:18:01,290
Ah, looked like 1st Class quality to me.

179
00:18:01,416 --> 00:18:03,540
- Are we on the right train for Yorkshire?
- Yes.

180
00:18:03,666 --> 00:18:04,707
Thank you.

181
00:18:46,041 --> 00:18:48,874
Ooh...careful.
Give that to me.

182
00:18:55,500 --> 00:18:59,582
- I'll take that bag.
- Thank you so much.

183
00:18:59,708 --> 00:19:01,290
- Goodbye.
- Thank you. Goodbye.

184
00:19:02,833 --> 00:19:03,874
Excuse me.

185
00:19:06,416 --> 00:19:09,082
We want to go to the house on the hill.
The Three Chimneys.

186
00:19:09,208 --> 00:19:12,457
- Er, do you know the way?
- I daresay.

187
00:19:12,583 --> 00:19:16,749
- Well, will you show us?
- I daresay.

188
00:19:16,875 --> 00:19:18,624
Ay...oop!

189
00:19:25,666 --> 00:19:26,915
Ow!

190
00:19:27,041 --> 00:19:28,665
- Phyllis, are you all right?
- Yes.

191
00:19:28,791 --> 00:19:30,915
Can't we put just one box
on your cart?

192
00:19:31,041 --> 00:19:35,582
You asked me to show you the way,
nothing was said about boxes.

193
00:19:35,708 --> 00:19:37,999
Never mind, darlings.
It's only a few more yards.

194
00:19:38,125 --> 00:19:40,207
Whoa!

195
00:19:49,791 --> 00:19:51,999
(Horse neighs)

196
00:19:52,125 --> 00:19:54,582
(Mother) I wonder why she didn't leave
the lights on.

197
00:19:54,708 --> 00:19:56,082
(Bobbie) Who is she?

198
00:19:56,208 --> 00:19:59,540
Mrs Viney, The woman I engaged
to clean the place and to get the supper.

199
00:19:59,666 --> 00:20:02,040
I expect Mrs Viney's gone home.

200
00:20:02,166 --> 00:20:04,707
Your train was late, see.

201
00:20:05,375 --> 00:20:07,249
But she's got the key.
What do we do?

202
00:20:07,375 --> 00:20:09,790
She'll have left that
under the doorstep.

203
00:20:09,916 --> 00:20:14,082
- We all do hereabouts.
- Well you might have said so.

204
00:20:14,208 --> 00:20:15,707
You never asked, did you?

205
00:20:15,833 --> 00:20:18,040
Nothing was said
about a door key.

206
00:20:18,166 --> 00:20:22,040
- May I borrow your lamp, please?
- I daresay.

207
00:20:24,083 --> 00:20:28,082
If you say "I daresay" once more,
I shall have hysterics, I daresay(!)

208
00:20:30,291 --> 00:20:32,790
Oh...there we are.

209
00:20:37,208 --> 00:20:39,124
(Squealing)

210
00:20:48,791 --> 00:20:49,832
What's that?

211
00:20:49,958 --> 00:20:52,040
(Laughter)

212
00:20:53,375 --> 00:20:56,249
It's only the rats.

213
00:21:08,875 --> 00:21:14,624
God works in mysterious ways
his wonders to perform.

214
00:21:16,708 --> 00:21:19,457
(Door creaks shut)

215
00:21:23,208 --> 00:21:25,332
(Phyllis) Ow!
(Peter) Rats!

216
00:21:25,458 --> 00:21:29,415
(Phyllis) I wish we hadn't come.
(Mother) Don't you worry, darlings.

217
00:21:29,541 --> 00:21:34,582
I saw a paraffin lamp on the table,
we'll soon have some light.

218
00:21:34,708 --> 00:21:38,665
Oh, those poor little mice,
they were so frightened.

219
00:21:38,791 --> 00:21:41,915
I don't believe they were rats at all.

220
00:21:42,875 --> 00:21:46,499
You've often said you wanted
something to happen, well now it has.

221
00:21:46,625 --> 00:21:48,999
It's quite exciting, isn't it?

222
00:21:49,125 --> 00:21:51,457
I told Mrs Viney to get
some meat and bread

223
00:21:51,583 --> 00:21:55,040
and have some supper ready.
I wonder where...

224
00:21:55,166 --> 00:21:57,249
Oh, I suppose she's laid it
in the dining room.

225
00:21:57,375 --> 00:22:00,290
Come along darlings, up here.
Let's go and see.

226
00:22:01,416 --> 00:22:02,915
Come along.

227
00:22:06,416 --> 00:22:10,957
Oh darlings, mind the steps.
Mind how you go, Peter.

228
00:22:14,583 --> 00:22:16,165
Oh!

229
00:22:22,250 --> 00:22:24,124
Oh, that beastly woman!

230
00:22:24,250 --> 00:22:26,332
She's taken the money
and not left us any food.

231
00:22:26,458 --> 00:22:29,707
Aren't we going to have
any supper tonight? I'm starving!

232
00:22:29,833 --> 00:22:32,249
I know! There's some food
in the cases in the cellar.

233
00:22:32,375 --> 00:22:36,415
Aunt Emma sent them on
ahead of us. Come along.

234
00:22:37,125 --> 00:22:38,790
Mind the step.

235
00:22:45,625 --> 00:22:47,665
Come along, Bobbie,
it's a real feast.

236
00:22:47,791 --> 00:22:49,915
Sardines, biscuits, ginger.

237
00:22:50,041 --> 00:22:51,540
Raisins...

238
00:22:51,666 --> 00:22:54,999
No Phyl, no! You do not put
the marmalade spoon in to the sardines.

239
00:22:55,125 --> 00:22:56,915
Oh, Mummy, it's gorgeous, Mummy.

240
00:22:57,041 --> 00:22:59,665
Tell you what,
let's drink Aunt Emma's health.

241
00:22:59,791 --> 00:23:02,499
- Good idea.
- Here's to Aunt Emma.

242
00:23:02,625 --> 00:23:04,499
-To Aunt Emma.
- Aunt Emma.

243
00:23:04,625 --> 00:23:06,915
(Peter) And all who sail in her.

244
00:23:07,833 --> 00:23:10,707
(Cockerel crows)

245
00:23:10,833 --> 00:23:13,290
(Birds chirp)

246
00:23:14,666 --> 00:23:17,332
- Oh! What's that, Mummy?
- Pie.

247
00:23:17,458 --> 00:23:20,249
- Pie?
- Apple Pie.

248
00:23:20,375 --> 00:23:23,124
Apple pie for breakfast?
Then we're not poor after all.

249
00:23:23,250 --> 00:23:24,999
This is the supper
we should have had.

250
00:23:25,125 --> 00:23:27,832
I found it in that little room
that we thought was a cupboard,

251
00:23:27,958 --> 00:23:31,124
so Mrs Viney wasn't so bad
after all.

252
00:23:31,250 --> 00:23:33,082
(Door knocks)

253
00:23:40,875 --> 00:23:44,457
- Good morning, can I help you?
- I expect so. Viney's the name.

254
00:23:44,583 --> 00:23:46,915
Hilda Viney, ma'am... Missus.

255
00:23:47,041 --> 00:23:50,290
Do come in.
We're just been talking about you.

256
00:23:50,416 --> 00:23:54,124
Oh, I see you found your supper then.
Funny time to have it though.

257
00:24:08,875 --> 00:24:11,499
(Train whistles)

258
00:24:37,916 --> 00:24:39,707
It was like a great dragon
tearing by.

259
00:24:39,833 --> 00:24:42,915
A dragon's house
looks like that tunnel.

260
00:24:43,041 --> 00:24:45,290
I never thought we'd ever get so near
to a train as this.

261
00:24:45,416 --> 00:24:48,707
- It's better than toy engines, isn't it?
- I don't know, it's different.

262
00:24:48,833 --> 00:24:52,332
It seems so odd to see all of a train.
It's so tall.

263
00:24:52,458 --> 00:24:54,915
I've always seen them cut
in half by platforms

264
00:24:55,041 --> 00:24:58,124
I wonder if that train's going to London?
London is where Daddy is.

265
00:24:58,250 --> 00:25:00,665
- We don't know that, Phyl.
- He might be.

266
00:25:12,500 --> 00:25:16,165
(Church bells chime)

267
00:25:49,916 --> 00:25:51,040
(Station bell)

268
00:26:13,916 --> 00:26:15,665
(Bell)

269
00:26:15,791 --> 00:26:17,290
Oh! Ahem.

270
00:26:18,166 --> 00:26:19,290
- How do you do?
- Eh?

271
00:26:19,416 --> 00:26:20,457
- How do you do?
- Yes.

272
00:26:20,583 --> 00:26:23,332
- Could I ask you two questions?
- Yes, well it depends what they are.

273
00:26:23,458 --> 00:26:25,749
I can't spend all day conversationalising
with the junior public.

274
00:26:25,875 --> 00:26:27,332
Now what are they?

275
00:26:27,458 --> 00:26:29,707
What's the white mark
on the coal heap for?

276
00:26:29,833 --> 00:26:32,540
That's to tell you how much coal there is
you see, in case anybody nicks it.

277
00:26:32,666 --> 00:26:33,707
Second question, please.

278
00:26:33,833 --> 00:26:35,749
Do you know anything
about engines?

279
00:26:35,875 --> 00:26:37,707
Do I know anything about engines?
Why?

280
00:26:37,833 --> 00:26:40,415
- Because I've got one.
- Er, what gauge?

281
00:26:40,541 --> 00:26:44,124
I don't know anything about gauges,
but it's about this big.

282
00:26:44,250 --> 00:26:45,290
Yes?

283
00:26:45,416 --> 00:26:47,957
- It's brass and it blew up.
- It blew up.

284
00:26:48,083 --> 00:26:50,165
Well just excuse me young man,
I've got a lot to do

285
00:26:50,291 --> 00:26:52,749
cos the Station Master's
having his hair cut in Leeds, you see

286
00:26:52,875 --> 00:26:54,290
and Perks must be about it.

287
00:26:54,416 --> 00:26:58,665
- Perks? Who's Perks?
- Me, sir. I'm Perks.

288
00:27:12,666 --> 00:27:15,957
(Train whistles)

289
00:27:16,083 --> 00:27:17,207
Right on time.

290
00:27:17,333 --> 00:27:22,290
- What is?
- This ere's the Scots Flyer.

291
00:27:34,041 --> 00:27:37,165
Why is it going so slowly,
Mr Perks?

292
00:27:38,833 --> 00:27:43,415
Why...well it's all up hill
to Scotland, isn't it?

293
00:27:46,083 --> 00:27:48,124
That train's going to Scotland.

294
00:27:48,250 --> 00:27:50,290
If Daddy's not in London,
he's in Scotland

295
00:27:50,416 --> 00:27:51,915
and that train is going to Scotland.

296
00:27:53,958 --> 00:27:56,082
Perhaps, Phyl.

297
00:28:00,916 --> 00:28:04,082
I don't think we're going to enjoy
being poor, you know,

298
00:28:04,208 --> 00:28:06,624
being cold and all that.

299
00:28:08,250 --> 00:28:11,707
Phyllis, try to imagine it
as an adventure.

300
00:28:11,833 --> 00:28:15,040
All sorts of things might happen.

301
00:28:15,166 --> 00:28:17,165
Mother could write about it.

302
00:28:17,291 --> 00:28:20,790
Write a book.
You never know.

303
00:28:20,916 --> 00:28:24,290
We won't always be poor, Phyllis,
I'm sure.

304
00:28:24,416 --> 00:28:26,790
All right. Good night.

305
00:28:28,833 --> 00:28:30,415
Good night.

306
00:28:33,375 --> 00:28:35,624
I'm still cold though.

307
00:28:35,750 --> 00:28:38,582
(Mother)...lightly on the-cheek.

308
00:28:38,708 --> 00:28:40,249
(Laughs)

309
00:28:40,375 --> 00:28:44,832
...one of the men, in a bowler hat,
opened the door...

310
00:28:44,958 --> 00:28:49,582
Father did not turn,
but left without a word.

311
00:28:53,250 --> 00:28:55,374
(Coughs feebly)

312
00:29:04,583 --> 00:29:07,332
Why don't we ask the next train
to take our love to Daddy?

313
00:29:07,458 --> 00:29:10,374
Trains don't carry people's love,
they'd be above that.

314
00:29:10,500 --> 00:29:12,165
Yes, they do if you tame them first.

315
00:29:12,291 --> 00:29:14,207
I wonder why Daddy
hasn't written to us.

316
00:29:14,333 --> 00:29:17,207
Mummy says he's too busy.
he'll write soon, she says.

317
00:29:18,625 --> 00:29:21,332
Well, why don't we wave anyway?
Three waves won't matter.

318
00:29:21,458 --> 00:29:23,374
We won't miss them.

319
00:29:47,791 --> 00:29:49,415
Charming...

320
00:29:49,916 --> 00:29:51,499
Charming!

321
00:29:58,875 --> 00:30:00,957
(Owl hoots)

322
00:30:31,916 --> 00:30:34,207
(Humming)

323
00:30:39,750 --> 00:30:41,499
(Cat miaows)

324
00:30:41,625 --> 00:30:43,165
About time they had it seen to.

325
00:30:47,125 --> 00:30:49,290
The coal in the little shed
has held out well, Bobbie.

326
00:30:49,416 --> 00:30:51,957
There was hardly any there yesterday
when I looked.

327
00:30:52,083 --> 00:30:53,540
Well, we've only had one fire.

328
00:30:53,666 --> 00:30:58,290
I know but I could swear there's more
than when we first came.

329
00:30:58,416 --> 00:31:24,624
- That's silly.
- Course it's silly.

330
00:31:24,750 --> 00:31:27,999
So it's you, Pete.

331
00:31:28,125 --> 00:31:31,082
- It's you.
- It's me what?

332
00:31:31,208 --> 00:31:33,665
It's you that's been putting
the coal in the shed.

333
00:31:33,791 --> 00:31:35,707
But where from Pete,
for heaven's sake?

334
00:31:35,833 --> 00:31:38,582
From the coal heap of course,
they've got stacks of it there.

335
00:31:38,708 --> 00:31:42,707
But that's stealing!
Don't you remember your catechism?

336
00:31:42,833 --> 00:31:44,707
"Thou shalt not steal sayest the Lord"

337
00:31:44,833 --> 00:31:47,165
It wasn't stealing.
It was mining.

338
00:31:47,291 --> 00:31:49,999
I took from the top.
That's mining, not stealing.

339
00:31:50,125 --> 00:31:52,207
If it was, all the miners in the world
would be in jug.

340
00:31:52,333 --> 00:31:54,999
Oh, Pete... Pete!

341
00:31:55,125 --> 00:31:57,374
Oh Pete, Pete.

342
00:31:57,500 --> 00:31:59,290
We'll have to take it all back.

343
00:31:59,416 --> 00:32:01,332
- What?
- All of it.

344
00:32:01,458 --> 00:32:03,165
- All of it.
- All of it!

345
00:32:03,291 --> 00:32:04,790
All of it.

346
00:32:06,083 --> 00:32:09,249
There can't be anything wrong in trying
to keep your own mother warm.

347
00:32:09,375 --> 00:32:10,957
That can't be wrong.

348
00:32:11,083 --> 00:32:13,457
(Phyllis) It's all right Pete,
at least we can burn the evidence.

349
00:32:24,375 --> 00:32:26,457
Mrs Viney, here we are.
I've got the buns for tea.

350
00:32:26,583 --> 00:32:29,582
- Buns?
- Yes, Mummy sold a story and...

351
00:32:29,708 --> 00:32:31,332
Mrs Viney, what's the matter?

352
00:32:31,458 --> 00:32:35,249
It's your dear ma, master Peter,
she's...she's very poorly.

353
00:32:35,375 --> 00:32:37,749
You'd better go back to the village
and get Dr Forrest.

354
00:32:37,875 --> 00:32:39,790
Right.

355
00:32:39,916 --> 00:32:41,874
Don't let her die, Mrs Viney.

356
00:32:52,791 --> 00:32:54,832
Doctor Forrest!

357
00:32:54,958 --> 00:32:56,499
Ahem!

358
00:33:00,833 --> 00:33:02,915
Mother's very ill,
please come quickly,

359
00:33:03,041 --> 00:33:04,957
Stay there, my boy.

360
00:33:23,333 --> 00:33:26,124
(Bells chime)

361
00:33:36,291 --> 00:33:38,207
Influenza.

362
00:33:38,875 --> 00:33:40,790
But not serious.

363
00:33:42,791 --> 00:33:46,540
Now my Lady Grave-airs,
I suppose you'll want to be head nurse?

364
00:33:46,666 --> 00:33:48,457
- Of course, Doctor.
- Right.

365
00:33:48,583 --> 00:33:51,165
Now we'll send down some medicine.
Keep a good fire going

366
00:33:51,291 --> 00:33:53,165
and have some strong beef tea
ready to give her

367
00:33:53,291 --> 00:33:55,290
the moment the fever goes down...

368
00:33:55,416 --> 00:33:57,499
She can have the grapes now
and the soda water.

369
00:33:57,625 --> 00:33:59,957
Oh, and you'd better get
a bottle of brandy.

370
00:34:00,083 --> 00:34:02,165
You can go in now...

371
00:34:03,083 --> 00:34:05,165
May I have the list?

372
00:34:08,625 --> 00:34:10,707
Don't worry, funny face.

373
00:34:10,833 --> 00:34:14,040
She's head nurse
but you can be Matron.

374
00:34:14,166 --> 00:34:15,957
Oh, thank you.

375
00:34:16,083 --> 00:34:19,624
Oh, what utter nonsense,
I can't afford all that.

376
00:34:19,750 --> 00:34:23,582
I haven't an idea in my head
for a story

377
00:34:23,708 --> 00:34:27,374
so there won't even be buns
for tea for some time.

378
00:34:27,500 --> 00:34:32,790
Tell Mrs Viney to boil some scrag-end
of neck for your dinner tomorrow

379
00:34:32,916 --> 00:34:35,165
then I'll have some of the broth.

380
00:34:36,625 --> 00:34:39,040
But even if we never have
anything to eat at all

381
00:34:39,166 --> 00:34:41,290
you can't afford all those other things.

382
00:34:41,416 --> 00:34:45,749
Right. So we've got to think
of some other way.

383
00:34:45,875 --> 00:34:48,332
Now everybody, think.

384
00:34:48,458 --> 00:34:50,415
Just as hard as ever you can,

385
00:34:50,541 --> 00:34:52,082
think!

386
00:34:53,208 --> 00:34:55,290
- I, O, N.
- (Phyllis) You sure?

387
00:34:55,416 --> 00:34:56,915
Yes.

388
00:34:58,291 --> 00:34:59,832
I...

389
00:35:00,583 --> 00:35:02,124
O...

390
00:35:05,458 --> 00:35:08,499
N.
There. Brilliant.

391
00:35:08,625 --> 00:35:10,290
"Look out at the station."

392
00:35:10,416 --> 00:35:13,082
Definitely one of your best works,
Michael Angelo.

393
00:35:45,791 --> 00:35:49,040
(Perks) Oakworth Station!
Oakworth!

394
00:35:50,250 --> 00:35:52,290
Oakworth!

395
00:35:54,666 --> 00:35:57,165
Oakworth Station.

396
00:36:01,583 --> 00:36:03,457
Oh, I thought I'd missed you.

397
00:36:03,583 --> 00:36:05,374
You are the man who waves to us,
aren't you?

398
00:36:05,500 --> 00:36:07,040
- Mind the doors, please.
- Aren't you?

399
00:36:07,166 --> 00:36:09,374
- Yes my dear, I wave...
- Oh, will you take this, please.

400
00:36:09,500 --> 00:36:11,582
We chose you because we thought
you had such a kind face.

401
00:36:11,708 --> 00:36:14,707
Er, mind the doors please, Miss.
Sir. On the way, Mr, Mitchell.

402
00:36:14,833 --> 00:36:16,374
Thank you, Mr Perks.

403
00:37:26,458 --> 00:37:28,582
(Door knocks)

404
00:37:30,916 --> 00:37:32,499
- Good evening.
- Good evening.

405
00:37:32,625 --> 00:37:33,665
Good evening.

406
00:37:33,791 --> 00:37:38,165
Oh dear!
Oh! Good evening.

407
00:37:38,291 --> 00:37:40,707
The name's Perks.
I believe we've met.

408
00:37:40,833 --> 00:37:43,749
Yes, you were busy’cause of
the Station Master being in Leeds.

409
00:37:43,875 --> 00:37:46,665
Yes, even busier now
'cause he had a drop too much

410
00:37:46,791 --> 00:37:51,290
down at the Britannia Arms and fell over
and broke his daft leg playing billiards.

411
00:37:51,416 --> 00:37:53,165
- Of course it was his own fault.
- Why?

412
00:37:53,291 --> 00:37:54,915
He should've used the rest.

413
00:37:55,041 --> 00:37:56,957
He will do that
over the edge, you see.

414
00:37:57,083 --> 00:37:59,457
The old gent asked me
to fetch this up straight away.

415
00:37:59,583 --> 00:38:00,790
Thank you very much, Mr Perks.

416
00:38:00,916 --> 00:38:03,915
I'm very sorry I haven't got two pence
to give you like Father does, but...

417
00:38:04,041 --> 00:38:08,582
Hey! Just stop that, please.
I wasn't thinking about no tuppences.

418
00:38:08,708 --> 00:38:12,124
I just came to say I was sorry
to hear your mama wasn't so well

419
00:38:12,250 --> 00:38:14,165
and to ask how she finds herself
this evening.

420
00:38:15,208 --> 00:38:18,915
Oh and I've er, I brought her
a bit of sweet briar.

421
00:38:19,041 --> 00:38:21,040
It's very sweet to smell that is.

422
00:38:21,833 --> 00:38:22,915
Tuppence indeed.

423
00:38:23,041 --> 00:38:25,665
Thank you very much and I beg
your pardon about the twopence.

424
00:38:25,791 --> 00:38:27,415
No offences, I'm sure.
No offence.

425
00:38:27,541 --> 00:38:30,040
And just to show I'll er,
I'll have a look

426
00:38:30,166 --> 00:38:32,499
at that blown up brass engine
of yourn, shall I?

427
00:38:32,625 --> 00:38:34,499
- What?
- Yes.

428
00:38:36,166 --> 00:38:39,790
Oh, can you manage?
Bit heavy... Here you are.

429
00:38:41,458 --> 00:38:43,457
Oh. Is that it?

430
00:38:44,916 --> 00:38:50,624
Bit of a mess, isn't it?
Still I'll er, I'll see what I can do.

431
00:38:50,750 --> 00:38:52,790
- Good evening.
- Thank you, Mr Perks. Good night.

432
00:39:03,791 --> 00:39:07,207
- Oh!
- Oh, look at that!

433
00:39:08,416 --> 00:39:10,624
Oh, everything...

434
00:39:13,208 --> 00:39:15,040
(Bobbie) "Dear Roberta, Phyllis
and Peter,

435
00:39:15,166 --> 00:39:17,290
"here are the things you want.

436
00:39:17,416 --> 00:39:19,665
"Your mother will want to know
where they came from

437
00:39:19,791 --> 00:39:21,457
"so please ask her to forgive me

438
00:39:21,583 --> 00:39:24,790
"for taking the liberty
of allowing myself the great pleasure.

439
00:39:24,916 --> 00:39:29,290
"Yours sincerely, G.P... Something. "
I can't read it.

440
00:39:29,416 --> 00:39:32,082
I think we were right to ask him.

441
00:39:32,208 --> 00:39:33,749
Right? Of course we're right.

442
00:39:33,875 --> 00:39:36,957
I don't fancy telling Mother
the whole truth about this.

443
00:39:37,083 --> 00:39:39,457
We shouldn't do that
until she's completely well.

444
00:39:39,583 --> 00:39:42,082
And when she is, we'll be so happy
we shan't mind the fuss.

445
00:39:42,208 --> 00:39:44,457
Oh, look at those roses!

446
00:39:44,583 --> 00:39:47,082
I'll take them up to her.

447
00:39:49,166 --> 00:39:53,707
- And the sweetbriar.
- Oh, thank you.

448
00:39:53,833 --> 00:39:55,957
Cor, look!
I wonder what's in there.

449
00:40:15,958 --> 00:40:19,082
So that's an end to it! Now listen.
It's true, we're poor,

450
00:40:19,208 --> 00:40:23,040
but we shall have enough to live on
as long as I have ideas for stories.

451
00:40:24,208 --> 00:40:28,499
But you mustn't go about telling people
of our affairs. It isn't right!

452
00:40:28,625 --> 00:40:33,457
And you must never, never, never
ask strangers to give you things.

453
00:40:33,583 --> 00:40:34,624
Always remember that.

454
00:40:34,750 --> 00:40:36,624
- (All) Yes, Mother.
- I shall write to your old gentleman

455
00:40:36,750 --> 00:40:38,665
and I shall tell him
that I didn't approve.

456
00:40:38,791 --> 00:40:40,999
I shall thank him too,
of course, for his kindness,

457
00:40:41,125 --> 00:40:44,665
but it you that I don't approve of,
not the old gentleman.

458
00:40:44,791 --> 00:40:47,332
He's been extremely kind.

459
00:40:47,458 --> 00:40:51,582
You can give my letter to your Mr Perks
to give to him.

460
00:40:53,708 --> 00:40:56,374
And we won't say any more about it.

461
00:40:58,291 --> 00:41:00,457
Isn't she marvellous
when she's angry?

462
00:41:19,625 --> 00:41:21,582
Whoa!

463
00:41:21,708 --> 00:41:22,790
Hello, head-nurse.

464
00:41:22,916 --> 00:41:27,290
That's funny, I was thinking about you.
I wanted to talk to you, Doctor.

465
00:41:27,416 --> 00:41:31,665
- Your mother's not worse I hope?
- No, but...

466
00:41:31,791 --> 00:41:34,457
Come on, we'll go for a ride.

467
00:41:59,458 --> 00:42:00,999
(Bobbie) This is great fun.

468
00:42:01,125 --> 00:42:03,790
Come on, out with it, head-nurse.
What's the trouble?

469
00:42:03,916 --> 00:42:08,165
It's rather hard, you see, to’out with it'
because of what Mother said.

470
00:42:08,291 --> 00:42:09,832
What did Mother say?

471
00:42:09,958 --> 00:42:13,165
She said I wasn't to go telling everyone
that we're poor.

472
00:42:13,291 --> 00:42:17,832
- But you aren't everyone, are you?
- Not at all. Well?

473
00:42:17,958 --> 00:42:20,332
Well, I know doctors
are very expensive

474
00:42:20,458 --> 00:42:24,082
and Mrs Viney told me that her doctor
only cost her twopence a week

475
00:42:24,208 --> 00:42:27,165
- because she belonged to a club.
- Yes.

476
00:42:27,291 --> 00:42:29,332
Well, could we join
your club too, please?

477
00:42:29,458 --> 00:42:31,582
The same as Mr Viney.

478
00:42:31,708 --> 00:42:33,332
You aren't cross with me, are you?

479
00:42:33,458 --> 00:42:36,957
Cross? How could I be?
You're a very sensible little woman.

480
00:42:37,083 --> 00:42:39,790
Now don't you worry.
I'll make it all right with your mother,

481
00:42:39,916 --> 00:42:42,749
even if I have to make
a special brand-new club just for her.

482
00:42:42,875 --> 00:42:44,457
Whoa!

483
00:42:46,583 --> 00:42:48,415
Thank you.

484
00:42:55,791 --> 00:42:58,332
Bobbie, you're to tidy yourself up
in here.

485
00:42:58,458 --> 00:43:00,082
Here's a new ribbon for you.

486
00:43:00,208 --> 00:43:01,165
(Bell rings)

487
00:43:01,291 --> 00:43:03,165
There, the surprise is ready.

488
00:43:03,291 --> 00:43:05,540
When the bell rings again
you can come into the dining room.

489
00:43:05,666 --> 00:43:07,249
Come on, Pete.

490
00:43:12,875 --> 00:43:14,790
Of course.

491
00:43:27,166 --> 00:43:28,624
(Bell rings)

492
00:43:51,958 --> 00:43:53,915
Happy birthday.

493
00:44:27,375 --> 00:44:29,457
Happy birthday, head-nurse.

494
00:44:39,458 --> 00:44:41,832
Happy birthday, Miss Roberta.

495
00:44:49,250 --> 00:44:51,290
My darling.

496
00:45:01,708 --> 00:45:03,790
I helped to make it.

497
00:45:09,375 --> 00:45:12,332

Mrs Waterbury.

510
00:46:05,208 --> 00:46:08,832
Good night, good night.

511
00:46:08,958 --> 00:46:13,415
Happy birthday!
Hey, happy birthday!

512
00:46:43,125 --> 00:46:45,207
(Sobbing)

513
00:47:08,125 --> 00:47:10,665
I hope Mother doesn't get too wet
in Wakefield.

514
00:47:10,791 --> 00:47:12,665
We don't want her ill again.

515
00:47:12,791 --> 00:47:14,332
It's like being in a besieged castle,

516
00:47:14,458 --> 00:47:18,499
the arrows of the foe striking
against the battlements.

517
00:47:18,625 --> 00:47:21,665
No, it's more
like a great big garden-squirt.

518
00:47:21,791 --> 00:47:24,040
- You're a great big garden squirt
- Thank you.

519
00:47:24,166 --> 00:47:26,374
Stop it you two!
There's a train coming.

520
00:47:46,291 --> 00:47:49,707
Oakworth! Oakworth Station!
Oakworth!

521
00:47:49,833 --> 00:47:51,332
Oakworth Station!

522
00:47:51,458 --> 00:47:53,665
Come on. Don't mind the rain,
it's only a shower.

523
00:47:53,791 --> 00:47:54,832
That's it, thank you.

524
00:47:55,625 --> 00:47:58,832
Mind the doors, please.
Mind the doors now.

525
00:47:58,958 --> 00:48:00,999
Mind the doors, come on.

526
00:48:01,125 --> 00:48:03,624
Right away, Mr Mainprice

527
00:48:06,083 --> 00:48:08,707
Mother should be on the next train
in about fifteen minutes.

528
00:48:08,833 --> 00:48:11,249
That one was from London, I think.

529
00:48:11,375 --> 00:48:13,707
Hey, there's something going
at the end of the station.

530
00:48:13,833 --> 00:48:15,457
Yes, something's happened,
come on.

531
00:48:15,583 --> 00:48:18,249
If you ask me this is a case
for the police courts.

532
00:48:18,375 --> 00:48:20,457
No, the infirmary more like.

533
00:48:20,583 --> 00:48:23,374
Let me pass please, will you?
I'll deal with this if you please.

534
00:48:24,666 --> 00:48:26,249
(Speaks Russian)

535
00:48:26,375 --> 00:48:29,374
- What's he say?
- Sounds like French to me.

536
00:48:29,500 --> 00:48:31,207
I was in Calais once for a day.

537
00:48:31,333 --> 00:48:35,499
- That's not French.
- Well what is it then if it's not French?

538
00:48:35,625 --> 00:48:38,165
I don't know.
It's not French, I know that.

539
00:48:38,291 --> 00:48:40,790
(Speaks Russian)

540
00:48:40,916 --> 00:48:44,165
No, that's not French.
Nothing like it.

541
00:48:44,291 --> 00:48:47,999
Try him with French if you know
so much then, clever dick.

542
00:48:48,125 --> 00:48:51,499
Parlez vous français, Monsieur?

543
00:48:51,625 --> 00:48:55,290
Ah, Dieu merci! Dieu merci!
Enfin un amis.

544
00:48:55,416 --> 00:48:58,999
Mon petit vous ne soures jamais
combien je suis content.

545
00:48:59,125 --> 00:49:01,790
- Now that's French.
- What's he say?

546
00:49:01,916 --> 00:49:02,999
I don't know...

547
00:49:03,125 --> 00:49:04,665
Yes, well all right everybody.

548
00:49:04,791 --> 00:49:07,332
Keep moving along, please.
I'll deal with this. Move along. Thank you.

549
00:49:07,458 --> 00:49:09,082
(Shouts foreign words)

550
00:49:09,208 --> 00:49:10,957
All right now, now, now...
Go on.

551
00:49:11,083 --> 00:49:13,040
Take him into the waiting room.
Mother can talk French.

552
00:49:13,166 --> 00:49:14,415
She's on the next train
from Wakefield.

553
00:49:14,541 --> 00:49:16,665
Right. Come on.

554
00:49:16,791 --> 00:49:18,374
(Speaks Russian)

555
00:49:20,208 --> 00:49:23,124
He thinks you're a policeman.
He thinks you're going to shut him up.

556
00:49:23,250 --> 00:49:25,665
I know he does.
Look at his eyes.

557
00:49:25,791 --> 00:49:29,082
They're like a fox's eyes
when the beast is in a trap.

558
00:49:31,375 --> 00:49:34,957
Vous attendre.
Ma mere parlez français.

559
00:49:35,083 --> 00:49:37,165
Nous...

560
00:49:37,291 --> 00:49:42,332
- What's "being kind"?
- Er, "bon" is good.

561
00:49:42,458 --> 00:49:45,624
Nous sommes bon
pour vous, Monsieur.

562
00:49:53,083 --> 00:49:57,457
Sorry, Malcolm. I'll see you down at
the Fleece later and I'll tell you all about it.

563
00:49:59,958 --> 00:50:03,082
C'est bon.
Ma mere arrive, c'est bon.

564
00:50:03,208 --> 00:50:04,499
Je vous aide.

565
00:50:04,625 --> 00:50:06,665
Look I'm not sure
we oughtn't to send for police.

566
00:50:06,791 --> 00:50:08,665
- Don't!
- Oh, don't. Wait till Mummy comes.

567
00:50:08,791 --> 00:50:10,832
She speaks French beautifully.
You'd love to hear her.

568
00:50:10,958 --> 00:50:13,540
I'm sure he hasn't done anything
like you're sent to prison for.

569
00:50:13,666 --> 00:50:17,165
Yes, well he looks
without visible means to me.

570
00:50:17,291 --> 00:50:19,957
Still I don't mind waiting
till your mama comes.

571
00:50:20,083 --> 00:50:22,999
I'd like to know what country
has got the credit of him.

572
00:50:23,125 --> 00:50:25,499
Look, I've got an idea.
Foreign stamps.

573
00:50:25,625 --> 00:50:27,082
We'll show them these.

574
00:50:27,208 --> 00:50:32,582
Regardes les stamps.
Quelle patrie?

575
00:50:32,708 --> 00:50:35,582
Ah... Ruskie...

576
00:50:36,708 --> 00:50:39,040
- Ruskie.
- My lord, he's Russian.

577
00:50:39,166 --> 00:50:41,332
Yeah, I-I thought he was.

578
00:50:41,458 --> 00:50:45,082
(Speaks in French)

579
00:50:47,458 --> 00:50:48,707
(Station bell)

580
00:50:48,833 --> 00:50:50,332
I'll wait here
till you bring Mummy in.

581
00:50:50,458 --> 00:50:52,040
Not afraid?

582
00:50:52,166 --> 00:50:53,582
No.

583
00:50:56,916 --> 00:51:00,665
Oakworth Station! Mrs Waterbury,
I have something to tell you.

584
00:51:00,791 --> 00:51:03,457
- Mummy, we found a Russian.
- There's a fellow in there, he's Russian.

585
00:51:03,583 --> 00:51:05,582
Close the doors.
Right away, Guard!

586
00:51:05,708 --> 00:51:07,582
You wouldn't hurt me, would you?

587
00:51:07,708 --> 00:51:10,457
(Speaks Russian)

588
00:51:11,625 --> 00:51:15,249
Hello, Bobbie.
Qui est vous?

589
00:51:15,375 --> 00:51:18,790
Madame, je m'appelle Szczepansky.

590
00:51:19,583 --> 00:51:23,165
Oh, it's all right.
Bobbie go and fetch Doctor Forrest.

591
00:51:23,291 --> 00:51:25,665
- We'll take him home with us, Mr Perks.
- Thank you, Madam.

592
00:51:25,791 --> 00:51:29,165
Come on, help him on the other side.
Don't worry.

593
00:51:29,291 --> 00:51:33,290
Don't worry, she'll look after you.

594
00:51:33,416 --> 00:51:34,832
I knew he was a Russian.

595
00:51:38,458 --> 00:51:39,457
Doctor.

596
00:51:40,625 --> 00:51:44,165
I need to tell you.
Mother's got a very shabby Russian.

597
00:51:44,291 --> 00:51:45,832
Your mother's got
a very shabby what?

598
00:51:45,958 --> 00:51:49,165
He'll have to join your club.
I'm certain he hasn't any money.

599
00:51:49,291 --> 00:51:51,665
We found him at the station.

600
00:51:51,791 --> 00:51:54,040
- Found him? Was he lost then?
- Yes, that's what he was.

601
00:51:54,166 --> 00:51:56,707
He's been telling Mother
life story in French.

602
00:51:56,833 --> 00:51:58,874
She said would you please
come directly.

603
00:51:59,000 --> 00:52:00,665
He's got a nasty cough

604
00:52:00,791 --> 00:52:02,290
and he's been crying.

605
00:52:04,041 --> 00:52:05,207
Oh, don't smile.

606
00:52:06,125 --> 00:52:07,165
Please don't.

607
00:52:07,291 --> 00:52:10,124
You wouldn't if you'd seen him.

608
00:52:10,250 --> 00:52:12,332
I've never seen a man cry before.

609
00:52:12,458 --> 00:52:15,874
Haven't you?
I do it all the time.

610
00:52:23,083 --> 00:52:25,374
(Mutters in French)

611
00:53:08,958 --> 00:53:10,499
Bobbie!

612
00:53:11,125 --> 00:53:14,749
I know you said
we weren't to ask any questions

613
00:53:14,875 --> 00:53:17,749
but Daddy isn't...isn't dead, is he?

614
00:53:17,875 --> 00:53:21,582
Oh, my darling, no.

615
00:53:21,708 --> 00:53:24,165
Bobbie, look at me.

616
00:53:24,291 --> 00:53:28,165
Daddy was quite, quite well
when I heard from him last

617
00:53:28,291 --> 00:53:30,499
and he'll come back to us
some day.

618
00:53:38,416 --> 00:53:40,124
Do tell us about the Russian.

619
00:53:40,791 --> 00:53:44,832
That can't make a long story, my darling,
because I'm very tired.

620
00:53:44,958 --> 00:53:48,790
He's a very clever writer,
but in Russia one dare not say

621
00:53:48,916 --> 00:53:51,540
anything about the rich people
doing wrong

622
00:53:51,666 --> 00:53:53,499
or what ought to be done
for the poor.

623
00:53:53,625 --> 00:53:55,540
If one does, one is sent to prison.

624
00:53:55,666 --> 00:53:58,832
Well he wrote a book about it all

625
00:53:58,958 --> 00:54:01,707
and he was three years in a dungeon.

626
00:54:01,833 --> 00:54:05,165
No light, damp and dreadful.

627
00:54:05,291 --> 00:54:07,749
Then they took him out
and they sent him to Siberia

628
00:54:07,875 --> 00:54:10,290
and he was condemned
to stay there for life.

629
00:54:10,416 --> 00:54:13,999
- For life? For writing a book?
- That's stupid.

630
00:54:14,125 --> 00:54:16,499
Go on, Mama.

631
00:54:16,625 --> 00:54:19,749
While he was at the mines,
some friends got a message to him

632
00:54:19,875 --> 00:54:23,540
to say that his wife and children
had escaped to England.

633
00:54:23,666 --> 00:54:28,374
So after many adventures he too escaped
and came here to look for them.

634
00:54:28,500 --> 00:54:32,457
- Do you think he will find them?
- Oh, I do hope so.

635
00:54:33,291 --> 00:54:35,790
I think my darlings, in your prayers
you might ask God

636
00:54:35,916 --> 00:54:39,790
to show his pity
upon all prisoners and captives.

637
00:54:40,625 --> 00:54:44,040
To show his pity
upon all prisoners and captives?

638
00:54:45,708 --> 00:54:48,957
Yes, darling.
Upon all the prisoners and captives.

639
00:55:01,791 --> 00:55:03,374
Merci.

640
00:55:09,541 --> 00:55:12,582
He seemed pleased. I wish we could think
of other things to give him.

641
00:55:12,708 --> 00:55:14,374
What about strawberries?

642
00:55:14,500 --> 00:55:18,082
Perks promised me some
from his own garden ages ago.

643
00:55:44,208 --> 00:55:45,707
Look at that tree over there!

644
00:55:50,458 --> 00:55:52,040
Lor, it's moving!

645
00:55:54,458 --> 00:55:55,832
So are the others...

646
00:56:00,166 --> 00:56:02,249
It's magic.

647
00:56:02,375 --> 00:56:07,957
What is it?

648
00:56:12,041 --> 00:56:16,290
It's much too magic for me.
I don't like it, I'm going home.

649
00:56:44,125 --> 00:56:46,499
Cor, that'll take some sweeping up.

650
00:57:07,791 --> 00:57:09,999
Hey! The 11:29 down
hasn't gone by yet.

651
00:57:10,125 --> 00:57:12,332
We must let them know at the station,
there'll be an accident.

652
00:57:12,458 --> 00:57:13,749
- Let's run!
- No, come back.

653
00:57:13,875 --> 00:57:15,790
It's too late, it's two miles away.

654
00:57:15,916 --> 00:57:19,665
- We do something to the telegraph wires.
- But we don't know how.

655
00:57:24,958 --> 00:57:27,707
If we only had something red, we could
go down on to the line and wave it.

656
00:57:27,833 --> 00:57:30,540
But the train wouldn't see us till it came
round the corner. That's too late.

657
00:57:30,666 --> 00:57:32,540
We could go round
and wave to the train.

658
00:57:32,666 --> 00:57:34,290
We might wave anyway.

659
00:57:34,416 --> 00:57:37,832
No. They'd only think it was us as usual,
we've waved so often before.

660
00:57:37,958 --> 00:57:40,040
- Flannel petticoats!
- I beg your pardon?

661
00:57:40,166 --> 00:57:43,457
- Flannel petticoats.
- Of course! Take them off.

662
00:57:56,291 --> 00:57:59,374
- Now.
- You're not going to tear them, Pete?

663
00:57:59,500 --> 00:58:02,499
- Oh, shut up
- Yes, tear them into little bit if you like.

664
00:58:02,625 --> 00:58:06,665
If we can't stop the train,
there'll be an accident with people killed.

665
00:58:06,791 --> 00:58:08,665
Now sticks, come on.

666
00:58:32,291 --> 00:58:35,499
- I'll have two. It was my idea.
- They're our petticoats!

667
00:58:35,625 --> 00:58:39,207
What's it matter who waves what
if we can only stop the train.

668
00:58:43,875 --> 00:58:45,790
Stand firm and wave like mad.

669
00:58:49,416 --> 00:58:50,874
Keep off the line, Bobbie.

670
00:58:54,375 --> 00:58:56,707
They won't see us.
It's all no good.

671
00:58:58,583 --> 00:59:01,624
- Stand off the line, Bobbie.
- It's all no good.

672
00:59:01,750 --> 00:59:06,790
- Stand back!
- Not yet. Not yet!

673
00:59:09,958 --> 00:59:11,915
- Stop!
- Stop!

674
00:59:13,833 --> 00:59:14,874
Stop!

675
00:59:27,000 --> 00:59:29,332
- Stand back.
- Stop!

676
00:59:29,458 --> 00:59:31,499
Stop!

677
00:59:31,625 --> 00:59:33,624
- Stop!
- Stop!

678
00:59:33,750 --> 00:59:37,290
Stop.

679
00:59:39,583 --> 00:59:41,499
Stop...

680
00:59:42,750 --> 00:59:44,165
Stop.

681
00:59:48,916 --> 00:59:52,665
Stop. There's been an earthquake.
Don't move you'll all be killed.

682
00:59:52,791 --> 00:59:57,915
The trees are walking down the bank
and there's a mountain of great stones.

683
00:59:58,041 --> 01:00:01,207
(Passengers chatter)

684
01:00:13,625 --> 01:00:17,457
We'll have a look at this earthquake
then get back to the train.

685
01:00:20,250 --> 01:00:22,707
Bobbie.

686
01:00:22,833 --> 01:00:26,374
Ladies and gentlemen, I think
you'll agree with me that we have three

687
01:00:26,500 --> 01:00:32,582
charming children here
who are indeed an example to us all.

688
01:00:36,166 --> 01:00:38,540
All right chaps, this is it.

689
01:00:38,666 --> 01:00:40,874
One, two, three.

690
01:00:44,166 --> 01:00:45,665
(Trumpet plays out of tune)

691
01:00:48,583 --> 01:00:53,540
(Old gentleman)... I have learned
in the short time I have seen them

692
01:00:53,666 --> 01:00:56,082
to look forward to knowing them better.

693
01:00:56,208 --> 01:00:58,707
If I had to rename the Waterbury children,

694
01:00:58,833 --> 01:01:03,582
I would call them
the Three Saviours of the Steel Road

695
01:01:03,708 --> 01:01:05,165
or perhaps the Railway Children.

696
01:01:05,291 --> 01:01:09,915
And now my dears, from the directors
of the Northern and Southern Railway

697
01:01:10,041 --> 01:01:15,290
in grateful recognition
of a courageous and brave action

698
01:01:15,416 --> 01:01:17,624
which averted an accident

699
01:01:17,750 --> 01:01:21,540
on August 15th, 1905.

700
01:01:21,666 --> 01:01:23,790
Oh, thank you.

701
01:01:29,041 --> 01:01:30,582
(Trumpet plays out of tune)

702
01:01:43,708 --> 01:01:46,374
It's your turn now.
Just begin with "Ladies and gentlemen".

703
01:01:46,500 --> 01:01:50,082
- Oh, lor!
- No, "Ladies and gentlemen".

704
01:01:50,208 --> 01:01:52,374
Ladies and gentlemen...

705
01:01:53,458 --> 01:01:55,124
Ladies and gentlemen,

706
01:01:55,250 --> 01:01:59,332
we shall treasure these watches
for the rest of our lives.

707
01:01:59,458 --> 01:02:02,582
What I mean to say is,
thank you all very much indeed.

708
01:02:07,416 --> 01:02:09,290
One, two.

709
01:02:12,958 --> 01:02:16,040
(Trumpet plays out of tune)

710
01:02:25,416 --> 01:02:28,082
(Woman) You must be very proud,
Mrs Waterbury.

711
01:02:28,208 --> 01:02:30,832
And er, this is from me.

712
01:02:59,125 --> 01:03:02,082
(Baton clinks onto the floor)

713
01:03:19,291 --> 01:03:23,207
It was a wonderful day, wasn't it?
The kind that very seldom happens.

714
01:03:23,333 --> 01:03:26,999
But I did so want to talk to
the old gentleman about something else.

715
01:03:27,125 --> 01:03:28,790
What did you want
to say to him?

716
01:03:28,916 --> 01:03:31,874
I'll tell you,
I've written him a letter.

717
01:03:34,583 --> 01:03:38,165
"My dearest old gentleman,
I want to ask you something, please.

718
01:03:38,291 --> 01:03:41,499
"If you get out of the train
and go by the next it would do.

719
01:03:41,625 --> 01:03:45,499
"I do not want you to give me anything -
Mother says we ought not to.

720
01:03:45,625 --> 01:03:50,665
"Besides, we only want to talk to you
about a prisoner and captive.

721
01:03:50,791 --> 01:03:52,290
"Your loving friend, Bobbie."

722
01:03:52,416 --> 01:03:55,499
Very good.
Yes, it is.

723
01:04:08,083 --> 01:04:13,124
My heart's thumping like a steam engine,
right under my sash, too.

724
01:04:13,250 --> 01:04:15,332
People's hearts
aren't under their sashes.

725
01:04:15,458 --> 01:04:16,999
I don't care, mine is.

726
01:04:17,125 --> 01:04:21,040
If you're going to talk like a poetry book,
my heart's in my mouth.

727
01:04:21,166 --> 01:04:23,707
My heart's in my boots
if it comes to that.

728
01:04:23,833 --> 01:04:26,290
- He'll think we're idiots.
- He won't be far wrong.

729
01:04:26,416 --> 01:04:29,207
Oakworth!

730
01:04:32,250 --> 01:04:35,207
- Morning, sir.
- Good morning, Perks.

731
01:04:36,166 --> 01:04:40,332
- Hello. This is a very great pleasure.
- It was good of you to get out.

732
01:04:40,458 --> 01:04:43,332
Er, may I extend a cordial invitation
to the use of my room, sir?

733
01:04:43,458 --> 01:04:44,499
- Thank you.
- Right away, sir.

734
01:04:44,625 --> 01:04:46,957
- Right away, Mr Mitchell.
- Thank you, Mr Perks.

735
01:04:47,083 --> 01:04:49,874
If you'd care to follow me, sir
just along here.

736
01:04:57,166 --> 01:04:59,499
- Nice and tidy for you sir.
- Ah, thank you, Perks.

737
01:04:59,625 --> 01:05:02,790
- I'll leave you to it then, sir.
- Thank you.

738
01:05:04,833 --> 01:05:06,415
Well?

739
01:05:09,166 --> 01:05:12,249
Well?
What is it?

740
01:05:15,208 --> 01:05:18,124
- Oh, please...
- Yes?

741
01:05:18,250 --> 01:05:21,374
- What I mean to say is...
- Yes?

742
01:05:21,500 --> 01:05:25,790
- I wish I might say something.
- I wish you would say something.

743
01:05:25,916 --> 01:05:29,040
Well then...it's about our Russian.

744
01:05:29,791 --> 01:05:31,582
- Captive.
- A captive.

745
01:05:31,708 --> 01:05:35,249
We want more than anything in the world
to find his wife and children for him.

746
01:05:35,375 --> 01:05:36,624
Only we don't know how.

747
01:05:37,458 --> 01:05:40,374
- What did you say his name was?
- I'll write it for you.

748
01:05:43,166 --> 01:05:46,665
Um, would you have a pencil
and the back of an envelope?

749
01:05:46,791 --> 01:05:49,207
Here, write it here.

750
01:05:55,875 --> 01:06:00,624
This is how you write it.
You say...Szczepansky.

751
01:06:07,208 --> 01:06:10,999
That man?
Bless my soul...

752
01:06:11,125 --> 01:06:12,499
I've read his book.

753
01:06:12,625 --> 01:06:16,915
So your mother took him in
like the good Samaritan.

754
01:06:17,041 --> 01:06:20,457
I'll tell you what, youngsters,
your mother must be a very good woman.

755
01:06:21,458 --> 01:06:23,915
- Yes, she is.
- And you're a good man.

756
01:06:24,041 --> 01:06:26,332
You flatter me.

757
01:06:26,458 --> 01:06:29,207
Now am I to tell you
what I think of you?

758
01:06:29,333 --> 01:06:30,957
- Oh, please don't.
- Why?

759
01:06:32,833 --> 01:06:34,665
I don't know why exactly,

760
01:06:34,791 --> 01:06:37,290
only if it's something horrid
I don't want you to.

761
01:06:38,916 --> 01:06:41,499
And if it's something nice
I'd rather you didn't.

762
01:06:41,625 --> 01:06:45,582
Then all I will say is that I'm very glad
you came to me about all this,

763
01:06:45,708 --> 01:06:47,290
very glad indeed.

764
01:06:47,416 --> 01:06:50,832
And I shouldn't be surprised
if I don't find out something very soon.

765
01:06:50,958 --> 01:06:53,249
Well now tell me something
about yourselves.

766
01:06:54,250 --> 01:06:55,290
Tea first.

767
01:07:13,791 --> 01:07:15,415
Who on earth?

768
01:07:18,041 --> 01:07:20,124
Let's go and see.

769
01:07:23,625 --> 01:07:26,124
- Hello.
- Hello.

770
01:07:26,250 --> 01:07:28,665
Hello.
Good news, my dears.

771
01:07:28,791 --> 01:07:31,457
I've found your Russian friend's
wife and children.

772
01:07:31,583 --> 01:07:33,457
- Oh!
- And I couldn't resist

773
01:07:33,583 --> 01:07:37,332
the temptation of having the pleasure
of telling him

774
01:07:37,458 --> 01:07:39,832
No, you tell him, my dear.

775
01:07:41,958 --> 01:07:45,124
And the other two
will show me the way.

776
01:07:49,708 --> 01:07:54,665
Mother, Mr Szczepansky's wife
and children have been found.

777
01:07:54,791 --> 01:07:58,457
(Speaks French)

778
01:08:03,791 --> 01:08:06,332
- Goodbye.
- Goodbye, sir.

779
01:08:06,458 --> 01:08:08,457
Goodbye.

780
01:08:10,666 --> 01:08:13,165
- Right away, Mr Mitchell.
- Thank you, Mr Perks.

781
01:08:13,291 --> 01:08:14,624
Goodbye.

782
01:08:16,833 --> 01:08:18,374
Excellent.

783
01:08:23,708 --> 01:08:26,124
- Bye.
- Goodbye.

784
01:08:45,083 --> 01:08:49,582
Ah! There, that's a likely
little brooch that.

785
01:08:49,708 --> 01:08:53,374
I don't know as ever I seen a thing
more like a buttercup,

786
01:08:53,500 --> 01:08:55,290
without it were a buttercup.

787
01:08:55,416 --> 01:08:57,457
Mother gave it to me
for my birthday.

788
01:08:57,583 --> 01:09:00,707
Oh, is that it?
I didn't see it close to.

789
01:09:00,833 --> 01:09:04,124
It highly decorative that,
thank you.

790
01:09:04,250 --> 01:09:07,499
- When's your birthday, Mr Perks?
- My birthday?

791
01:09:07,625 --> 01:09:09,915
I gave up keeping my birthday
afore you lot were born.

792
01:09:10,041 --> 01:09:12,499
But you must have been born
sometime, you know.

793
01:09:12,625 --> 01:09:16,290
Even if it was 20 years ago
or 30 years ago or 60 or 70.

794
01:09:16,416 --> 01:09:19,665
Yeah, well it weren't quite
so long as that.

795
01:09:19,791 --> 01:09:21,665
Oh...oh!

796
01:09:21,791 --> 01:09:24,457
If you really want to know,

797
01:09:24,583 --> 01:09:27,249
it's my 42 years
come the 1 5th of this month.

798
01:09:27,375 --> 01:09:28,540
Why don't you keep it then?

799
01:09:28,666 --> 01:09:30,707
I've got other things to keep
besides birthdays.

800
01:09:30,833 --> 01:09:33,790
Oh what?
Not secrets, Mr Perks.

801
01:09:33,916 --> 01:09:36,665
No, the kids and bloomin' missus.

802
01:09:45,458 --> 01:09:48,457
I've sold another story, darlings,
the one about the King of the Mussels

803
01:09:48,583 --> 01:09:49,999
so there'll be buns for tea.

804
01:09:50,125 --> 01:09:52,165
You can go and got them
the moment they're ready.

805
01:09:52,291 --> 01:09:56,749
Would you mind if we didn't them tonight,
but on the 1 5th? That's next Thursday.

806
01:09:56,875 --> 01:09:58,832
I don't mind, darling,
but why?

807
01:09:59,791 --> 01:10:02,165
Well, it's Mr Perks' birthday,
he's 42.

808
01:10:02,291 --> 01:10:05,415
He says he doesn't keep his birthday
any more, he's got other things to keep.

809
01:10:05,541 --> 01:10:09,749
Not rabbits and secrets,
but the kids and the bloomin' missus.

810
01:10:09,875 --> 01:10:12,874
- His wife and children, Bobbie.
- It's the same thing, isn't it?

811
01:10:13,000 --> 01:10:15,790
Bloomin' missus is sort of a germ
of endearment, isn't it?

812
01:10:15,916 --> 01:10:18,374
- Term of endearment, Phyl.
- Yes.

813
01:10:18,500 --> 01:10:20,624
We thought we'd make
a nice birthday for him.

814
01:10:20,750 --> 01:10:22,124
He's been very nice to us.

815
01:10:22,250 --> 01:10:25,040
And we agreed that next bun day
we'd ask if we could.

816
01:10:25,166 --> 01:10:28,332
It would be rather nice to write his name
on the buns in pink sugar, wouldn't it?

817
01:10:28,458 --> 01:10:32,165
- Perks isn't a very pretty name.
- Albert's his other name, I asked once.

818
01:10:32,291 --> 01:10:33,874
I think Albert's a pretty name.

819
01:10:37,500 --> 01:10:39,290
What's the matter with that?

820
01:10:41,458 --> 01:10:43,540
What about flowers?

821
01:10:43,666 --> 01:10:46,290
He's got lots of flowers of his own,
hasn't he?

822
01:10:46,416 --> 01:10:49,290
Yes, but it's always nice
to be given them.

823
01:10:49,416 --> 01:10:51,415
Let's all just sit and think.

824
01:10:51,541 --> 01:10:56,040
No one's to speak
until they've thought of something.

825
01:11:02,583 --> 01:11:04,165
- I've got it.
- What?

826
01:11:04,291 --> 01:11:07,624
- Perks is so nice to everyone, right?
- Right.

827
01:11:07,750 --> 01:11:11,332
So there must be lots of people
who'd like to help make him a birthday.

828
01:11:11,458 --> 01:11:14,165
Mother said
we weren't to ask people for things.

829
01:11:14,291 --> 01:11:16,499
For ourselves, she meant,
not for other people.

830
01:11:16,625 --> 01:11:18,374
I think we should ask Mummy first.

831
01:11:18,500 --> 01:11:21,040
There's no harm in it,
it depends how you do it.

832
01:11:21,166 --> 01:11:24,374
I only hope Mr Perks won't be offended
and think it's charity.

833
01:11:24,500 --> 01:11:26,332
Poor people can be very proud,
you know.

834
01:11:26,458 --> 01:11:29,332
It's not because he's poor,
it's because we're fond of him.

835
01:11:29,458 --> 01:11:31,874
All right, I'll look out some things
that Phyllis has outgrown.

836
01:11:32,000 --> 01:11:35,499
- Will that do?
- I'm sure he'd love that.

837
01:11:35,625 --> 01:11:37,707
Come back tomorrow
and I'll see what I can do.

838
01:11:37,833 --> 01:11:39,707
- Oh, thank you, goodbye.
- Goodbye.

839
01:11:39,833 --> 01:11:40,999
Thank you, bye bye.

840
01:11:41,125 --> 01:11:43,874
I've always liked Mrs Ransome.

841
01:11:44,000 --> 01:11:47,124
- Oh, thank you.
- Of course.

842
01:11:48,916 --> 01:11:50,832
Thank you very much.
Goodbye.

843
01:11:50,958 --> 01:11:52,957
Bye!

844
01:11:57,666 --> 01:12:00,999
(Bobbie)’Some people were kind
and some were crusty

845
01:12:01,125 --> 01:12:03,040
'and some would give
some would not.'

846
01:12:03,166 --> 01:12:05,999
It's Mr Perks' birthday on Thursday,
would you like to give him a present?

847
01:12:06,125 --> 01:12:10,832
- No, I would not. I hate the man.
- Thank you!

848
01:12:10,958 --> 01:12:12,457
That was pretty rude.

849
01:12:13,083 --> 01:12:17,332
(Bobbie)’It's rather difficult work
asking for things, even for other people.

850
01:12:17,458 --> 01:12:19,540
'as you've no doubt found
if you've ever tried it.'

851
01:12:19,666 --> 01:12:22,832
Tobacco pipe,
half a pound of tea.

852
01:12:22,958 --> 01:12:27,332
- Woollen scarf from the Drapers.
- A stuffed squirrel from Doctor Forrest.

853
01:12:27,458 --> 01:12:30,665
There it is, you can have it
and good riddance to it.

854
01:12:30,791 --> 01:12:32,957
- Oh!
- Thank you.

855
01:12:36,083 --> 01:12:38,499
-Bye.
- Goodbye.

856
01:12:44,208 --> 01:12:46,749
Thank you, Mr James,
he'll love that.

857
01:12:46,875 --> 01:12:48,957
Goodbye.

858
01:12:55,958 --> 01:12:59,457
(Church bells chime)

859
01:13:06,416 --> 01:13:08,582
(Peter shouts) Hello?

860
01:13:08,708 --> 01:13:11,499
Hello, is anyone at home?

861
01:13:11,625 --> 01:13:14,165
Me Mam's upstairs,
a-changing herself.

862
01:13:14,291 --> 01:13:16,082
Mam, visitors!

863
01:13:16,208 --> 01:13:19,499
(Mrs Perks) Thank you Patrick,
just coming.

864
01:13:21,458 --> 01:13:23,707
I'm a bit late changing, Miss,

865
01:13:23,833 --> 01:13:26,332
owing to me having had
an extra clean up today

866
01:13:26,458 --> 01:13:29,165
along with Perks happening to say
it's his birthday.

867
01:13:29,291 --> 01:13:31,915
I don't know what put such an idea
into his head.

868
01:13:32,041 --> 01:13:34,332
We keeps the children's birthdays,
of course,

869
01:13:34,458 --> 01:13:37,915
but him and me... Well, we've no time
for suchlike as a general rule.

870
01:13:38,041 --> 01:13:41,165
We know it was his birthday
and we've brought him some presents.

871
01:13:41,291 --> 01:13:44,249
Oh, bring them in my dears.

872
01:13:53,583 --> 01:13:56,749
Oh, don't, please don't,
Mrs Perks.

873
01:13:56,875 --> 01:13:58,040
Whatever is the matter?

874
01:13:58,166 --> 01:14:00,540
Do you mean to say
you don't like the things we brought?

875
01:14:00,666 --> 01:14:01,790
Don't you like them?

876
01:14:01,916 --> 01:14:05,499
Oh, there, there, don't mind me,
I'm all right.

877
01:14:05,625 --> 01:14:10,165
Like them? Why it's a birthday
such as Perks never had,

878
01:14:10,291 --> 01:14:12,040
not even when he were a boy.

879
01:14:12,166 --> 01:14:13,749
Good, I'm glad you're pleased.

880
01:14:13,875 --> 01:14:15,832
Could we wait and see
if Mr Perks is pleased too?

881
01:14:15,958 --> 01:14:17,874
I won't say another word.

882
01:14:18,000 --> 01:14:20,582
Could we have a plate for the buns,
Mrs Perks?

883
01:14:20,708 --> 01:14:22,290
Oh, of course.

884
01:14:22,416 --> 01:14:24,499
Fit for a prince, I'd say.

885
01:14:24,625 --> 01:14:29,040
I never thought there'd be more for him,
except the ounce of his backie.

886
01:14:29,166 --> 01:14:33,332
♪ I'm feeling right today

887
01:14:33,458 --> 01:14:35,915
♪ Been a lovely day... ♪

888
01:14:36,041 --> 01:14:38,832
(Continues humming)

889
01:14:40,500 --> 01:14:43,124
Bless us, he's early.

890
01:14:43,250 --> 01:14:45,374
Let's hide in there
and you tell him about it

891
01:14:45,500 --> 01:14:47,749
but give him the tobacco first
as you got it for him.

892
01:14:47,875 --> 01:14:50,624
When you've told him,
we'll shout "Many Happy Returns".

893
01:14:50,750 --> 01:14:52,624
(Humming)

894
01:14:53,916 --> 01:14:54,999
Oh!

895
01:14:55,125 --> 01:14:56,874
- How do.
- How do.

896
01:14:58,625 --> 01:15:00,499
Hello, old woman.

897
01:15:04,791 --> 01:15:08,374
- Well here's a pretty set out.
- It's your birthday tea, Bert.

898
01:15:10,583 --> 01:15:14,915
And here's an ounce
of your extra particular.

899
01:15:15,041 --> 01:15:18,832
Yes, she's a good old girl.

900
01:15:18,958 --> 01:15:21,790
Eh, what's that pram doing here?
Hey, you're not...?

901
01:15:25,000 --> 01:15:28,374
Well, what's all these bundles?
Eh?

902
01:15:28,500 --> 01:15:31,249
And what's all this sweet stuff and...?

903
01:15:32,666 --> 01:15:35,957
What's this squirrel
doing on the table, eh?

904
01:15:37,083 --> 01:15:40,999
Oh, lor!
Whatever should we do?

905
01:15:41,833 --> 01:15:44,374
I've forgotten to put the labels
on any of the things.

906
01:15:44,500 --> 01:15:46,832
He won't know what's from whom.

907
01:15:46,958 --> 01:15:48,332
He'll think it's all from us

908
01:15:48,458 --> 01:15:51,707
and that we're trying to be grand and
charitable or something horrid like that.

909
01:15:51,833 --> 01:15:52,915
Ssh, be quiet!

910
01:15:53,041 --> 01:15:55,374
I don't care. I won't stand it.
I tell you straight.

911
01:15:55,500 --> 01:15:58,290
But, it's them children
you make such a fuss about,

912
01:15:58,416 --> 01:15:59,999
the children from the Three Chimneys.

913
01:16:00,125 --> 01:16:03,749
I don't care,
not if it was angels from heaven.

914
01:16:03,875 --> 01:16:06,040
We got on all right all these years
and no favours asked.

915
01:16:06,166 --> 01:16:08,790
I'm not having these charity
goings-on at my time of life.

916
01:16:08,916 --> 01:16:10,457
And don't you think it, Nell.

917
01:16:10,583 --> 01:16:13,332
Ssh, Bert, shut your silly tongue,
for goodness sake.

918
01:16:13,458 --> 01:16:16,790
All three of’em is in the other room
a-listening to every word you speaks.

919
01:16:16,916 --> 01:16:18,915
I'll give them something to listen to.

920
01:16:19,041 --> 01:16:21,332
I've spoke my mind to these afore
and I'll do it again. Come out.

921
01:16:21,458 --> 01:16:23,374
Come on out!
Out here, come on.

922
01:16:23,500 --> 01:16:25,165
No, not you lot, you stop in...

923
01:16:25,291 --> 01:16:27,915
Sophie, look put some pants
on Benjamin, we've got company.

924
01:16:32,208 --> 01:16:34,707
Right, you can tell me
what you mean by it.

925
01:16:34,833 --> 01:16:38,290
Have I ever complained of being short
as you starts this charity with me?

926
01:16:38,416 --> 01:16:40,915
We thought you'd be so pleased,
Mr Perks.

927
01:16:41,041 --> 01:16:43,749
I'll never try and be kind to anyone else
as long as I live.

928
01:16:43,875 --> 01:16:46,707
- No, I won't. Not never!
- We didn't mean any harm.

929
01:16:46,833 --> 01:16:48,624
It isn't what you means
so much as what you does.

930
01:16:48,750 --> 01:16:51,790
We thought you'd love it.
We always have things on our birthdays.

931
01:16:51,916 --> 01:16:53,499
Oh ay, from your own relations,
that's different.

932
01:16:53,625 --> 01:16:55,040
No, not just our relations.

933
01:16:55,166 --> 01:16:56,749
They're from all sorts of people
in the village.

934
01:16:56,875 --> 01:16:59,249
- And who put'em up to it, I'd like to know.
- We did.

935
01:17:09,833 --> 01:17:14,165
So you've been telling the neighbours
that we can't make both ends meet.

936
01:17:15,333 --> 01:17:18,165
Now you've disgraced us as deep
as you can in the neighbourhood,

937
01:17:18,291 --> 01:17:21,207
you can take that pack of tricks
back where it came from.

938
01:17:21,333 --> 01:17:24,040
I'm very much obliged, I'm sure.

939
01:17:24,166 --> 01:17:27,165
I don't doubt that you meant it kind

940
01:17:27,291 --> 01:17:31,374
but I'd rather not be acquainted with you
any longer, if it's all the same to you.

941
01:17:34,875 --> 01:17:37,457
Look here.
We'll go if you like

942
01:17:37,583 --> 01:17:40,374
and you needn't be friends with us
any more, but...

943
01:17:40,500 --> 01:17:43,457
We'll always be friends with you,
even though you're nasty to us.

944
01:17:43,583 --> 01:17:47,874
But before we go, let us show you
these labels to put on the things.

945
01:17:48,000 --> 01:17:49,499
I don't want to see no labels

946
01:17:49,625 --> 01:17:51,999
except proper luggage labels
in me own walk of life.

947
01:17:52,125 --> 01:17:55,749
- Please let Bobbie show you the labels.
- All right, go on.

948
01:17:55,875 --> 01:17:58,832
We wrote down everything
everybody said

949
01:17:58,958 --> 01:18:01,540
when they gave us the things
with the people's names on.

950
01:18:01,666 --> 01:18:04,790
Because Mother said
that we ought to be careful because...

951
01:18:04,916 --> 01:18:06,707
Well I wrote down what she said
and you'll see.

952
01:18:06,833 --> 01:18:07,915
That's from Mother.

953
01:18:08,041 --> 01:18:11,499
She thought Mrs Perks might like
some of Phyllis' things.

954
01:18:12,625 --> 01:18:15,707
"I can't do much..."

955
01:18:20,083 --> 01:18:24,999
Well that's all right.
I mean, your ma's a born lady.

956
01:18:25,125 --> 01:18:27,165
We'll keep the little frocks
and what-not, Nell.

957
01:18:27,291 --> 01:18:28,415
Yes, Albert.

958
01:18:28,541 --> 01:18:32,332
Then there's the perambulator
and the gooseberries and sweets.

959
01:18:32,458 --> 01:18:33,874
They're from Mrs Ransome.

960
01:18:34,000 --> 01:18:38,249
I can't send the pram back, Bert,
and I won't so don't ask me.

961
01:18:38,375 --> 01:18:40,249
I'm not asking anything.

962
01:18:40,375 --> 01:18:43,165
Then there's the shovel.
Mr James made that for you himself

963
01:18:43,291 --> 01:18:45,249
and he says...

964
01:18:45,375 --> 01:18:47,207
Oh, where is it?
Oh, yes, here.

965
01:18:47,333 --> 01:18:50,290
- No er, you can read it.
- He says,

966
01:18:50,416 --> 01:18:54,999
"You tell Mr Perks it is a pleasure
to make a little trifle for a man

967
01:18:55,125 --> 01:18:57,332
"as is so much respected."

968
01:18:57,458 --> 01:18:59,582
He's a good chap, that.

969
01:19:00,625 --> 01:19:02,582
He's a very good chap, that.

970
01:19:03,458 --> 01:19:05,165
He's not bad at all, that chap.

971
01:19:05,291 --> 01:19:07,499
And everybody who gave anything
said they liked you

972
01:19:07,625 --> 01:19:09,665
and thought it was
a very good idea of ours.

973
01:19:09,791 --> 01:19:15,582
And nobody said anything about charity
or anything horrid like that.

974
01:19:15,708 --> 01:19:19,040
We thought that you'd love to know
how fond everybody is of you.

975
01:19:20,708 --> 01:19:23,915
And I've never so unhappy
in all my born days.

976
01:19:24,041 --> 01:19:25,582
Goodbye.
Come on.

977
01:19:27,625 --> 01:19:28,665
Stop!

978
01:19:32,416 --> 01:19:36,707
I take back every word I've said
contrary to what you'd wish.

979
01:19:36,833 --> 01:19:38,540
- Nell?
- Yes, Albert.

980
01:19:38,666 --> 01:19:40,165
Put the kettle on.

981
01:19:40,291 --> 01:19:42,957
We'll take away the things
if you're unhappy with them.

982
01:19:43,083 --> 01:19:44,290
I'm not unhappy about’em.

983
01:19:45,666 --> 01:19:47,915
I don't know
if I was ever better pleased.

984
01:19:48,041 --> 01:19:51,582
...Not so much with the presents
though frankly they're an A. 1 collection

985
01:19:51,708 --> 01:19:53,707
but the kind respect
of our neighbours.

986
01:19:53,833 --> 01:19:57,290
- That's worth having, eh Nell?
- I think it's all worth having...

987
01:19:57,416 --> 01:20:00,749
And you've made a most ridiculous fuss
about nothing, Bert, if you ask me.

988
01:20:00,875 --> 01:20:02,332
No, I haven't.

989
01:20:02,458 --> 01:20:04,832
If a man didn't respect himself,
no one wouldn't do it for him.

990
01:20:04,958 --> 01:20:07,707
But everyone respects you.
They all said so.

991
01:20:07,833 --> 01:20:10,415
We knew you'd like it
once you understood.

992
01:20:12,833 --> 01:20:16,999
Well you'll stay to tea, I take it?

993
01:20:17,125 --> 01:20:19,332
May the garland of friendship
be ever green.

994
01:20:19,458 --> 01:20:22,332
May our garland of friendship
be ever green, Mr Perks.

995
01:20:22,458 --> 01:20:24,665
Hear, hear!

996
01:20:24,791 --> 01:20:26,832
Oh, well that's all right then, isn't it?

997
01:20:26,958 --> 01:20:30,499
Let's have a look at them buns
you brought in. Where are they?

998
01:20:30,625 --> 01:20:33,040
Who wrote that?
It's Albert.

999
01:20:33,166 --> 01:20:34,832
(Mrs Perks) Holy Mary, Mother of God

1000
01:20:34,958 --> 01:20:39,165
pray for us sinners now
and at the hour of our death. Amen.

1001
01:20:53,416 --> 01:20:57,582
Now go to sleep all of you
and not another word.

1002
01:21:03,500 --> 01:21:06,499
- Good night.
- Good night, Mum.

1003
01:21:06,625 --> 01:21:09,957
(Mr Perks) Yeah they're jolly good
little kids, those Waterburys.

1004
01:21:10,083 --> 01:21:12,540
Oh, they're all right,
bless their hearts.

1005
01:21:12,666 --> 01:21:15,832
It's you that's the aggravatingest old thing
that ever was.

1006
01:21:15,958 --> 01:21:18,290
- I was ashamed of you, I tell you.
- You needn't be.

1007
01:21:18,416 --> 01:21:21,665
I climbed down handsome
as soon as I understood it weren't charity.

1008
01:21:21,791 --> 01:21:24,540
Charity's one thing I never could abide,
and won't neither.

1009
01:21:24,666 --> 01:21:27,624
- Go to sleep, Albert.
- Yes, dear.

1010
01:21:28,458 --> 01:21:31,040
I tell you this though,

1011
01:21:31,166 --> 01:21:33,499
it isn't what you does
so much as what you means,

1012
01:21:33,625 --> 01:21:35,582
that's what I say.

1013
01:21:35,708 --> 01:21:38,665
- Now if it had been charity...
- Oh, drat charity, Bert.

1014
01:21:38,791 --> 01:21:42,832
Nobody won't offer you charity
however much you was to want it.

1015
01:21:42,958 --> 01:21:46,165
That were just friendliness,
that were.

1016
01:21:46,291 --> 01:21:50,165
I reckon it's what people call
loving kindness.

1017
01:21:50,291 --> 01:21:53,374
- Now go to sleep, Bert.
- Yes dear, good night.

1018
01:21:53,500 --> 01:21:56,832
Good night, Bert.
Happy Birthday.

1019
01:21:56,958 --> 01:21:58,499
(Sighs)

1020
01:22:09,625 --> 01:22:11,207
Nell?

1021
01:22:13,166 --> 01:22:16,457
(Nell) Oh, all right, Bert,
as it's your birthday.

1022
01:22:48,791 --> 01:22:50,915
Hello, my dears.

1023
01:22:51,041 --> 01:22:53,082
Hard at it, are yer?

1024
01:22:53,208 --> 01:22:55,665
Yeah. Well, er... Yeah.

1025
01:22:55,791 --> 01:22:57,915
One good turn deserves another,
that's what I always say.

1026
01:22:58,041 --> 01:22:59,415
Hello, Mr Perks,
how do mean?

1027
01:22:59,541 --> 01:23:03,749
Well I found these magazines, you see,
in the waiting room.

1028
01:23:03,875 --> 01:23:05,665
I was cleaning up.

1029
01:23:05,791 --> 01:23:09,415
They were in a cupboard and well
they're only collecting dust and...

1030
01:23:09,541 --> 01:23:12,082
Dust is, as you know, unhygienic.

1031
01:23:12,208 --> 01:23:13,249
- Hello.
- Hello.

1032
01:23:13,375 --> 01:23:15,790
I thought perhaps
you might like them.

1033
01:23:15,916 --> 01:23:19,457
There's a lot of pictures in’em.
and that,

1034
01:23:19,583 --> 01:23:21,665
and you can colour’em up
with chalks and that.

1035
01:23:21,791 --> 01:23:22,957
Anyway I don't want’em.

1036
01:23:23,083 --> 01:23:24,874
- You're a dear.
- Yes, you are.

1037
01:23:26,250 --> 01:23:29,665
- Hear, hear!
- Well, that's all right then.

1038
01:23:29,791 --> 01:23:32,165
I must be getting along.
I've got lots to do.

1039
01:23:32,291 --> 01:23:34,082
Perks must be about it.

1040
01:23:34,208 --> 01:23:37,040
Thank you.
That was very kind of him.

1041
01:23:37,166 --> 01:23:38,415
(Thunder rumbles)

1042
01:23:38,541 --> 01:23:40,415
We'd better go inside,
it's going to rain.

1043
01:24:11,458 --> 01:24:12,457
Daddy...

1044
01:24:49,416 --> 01:24:52,499
- Where's Bobbie?
- I thought I heard her upstairs.

1045
01:24:52,625 --> 01:24:56,665
She knows it's tea time.
I wonder if she's all right.

1046
01:24:59,500 --> 01:25:17,707
Bobbie?

1047
01:25:20,958 --> 01:25:22,582
What is it darling?

1048
01:25:24,708 --> 01:25:25,790
Oh, Mummy!

1049
01:25:32,250 --> 01:25:34,040
(Thunderbolt)

1050
01:25:40,791 --> 01:25:42,415
You don't believe Daddy did it?

1051
01:25:42,541 --> 01:25:45,165
- No.
- Because it's not true.

1052
01:25:45,291 --> 01:25:48,707
They have shut him in prison,
but he's done nothing wrong.

1053
01:25:48,833 --> 01:25:52,040
He's good and honourable
and he belongs to us.

1054
01:25:53,166 --> 01:25:56,832
Will it make you very unhappy
if you tell me all about it?

1055
01:25:56,958 --> 01:25:58,457
I want to understand.

1056
01:26:04,583 --> 01:26:08,249
Do you remember the day
those two men took Daddy away?

1057
01:26:09,250 --> 01:26:10,290
Yes, I do.

1058
01:26:10,416 --> 01:26:14,832
Well they arrested him, charging him
with selling State secrets

1059
01:26:14,958 --> 01:26:18,082
with being, in fact,
a spy and a traitor.

1060
01:26:20,125 --> 01:26:23,082
How could anyone believe that?

1061
01:26:23,208 --> 01:26:25,499
How could anyone do such a thing?

1062
01:26:25,625 --> 01:26:27,457
Someone did.

1063
01:26:28,583 --> 01:26:32,165
Why didn't you tell someone,
a lawyer?

1064
01:26:33,166 --> 01:26:37,665
There wasn't anyone who could
hurt Daddy on purpose, was there?

1065
01:26:37,791 --> 01:26:41,874
I don't know.
It's all so complicated.

1066
01:26:42,833 --> 01:26:46,915
There was a man in the office
who was very envious of your father.

1067
01:26:47,041 --> 01:26:49,874
Daddy always said
he didn't quite trust him.

1068
01:26:50,625 --> 01:26:52,665
Why didn't you explain
all that to someone?

1069
01:26:52,791 --> 01:26:55,165
No one would listen.

1070
01:26:55,291 --> 01:26:58,290
Do you suppose
I haven't tried everything?

1071
01:26:58,416 --> 01:27:02,332
No, my darling,
what we have to do, you and I,

1072
01:27:02,458 --> 01:27:05,874
and Daddy, is to be brave.

1073
01:27:27,875 --> 01:27:30,124
(Cockerel crows)

1074
01:27:56,041 --> 01:27:57,374
Where have you been?

1075
01:27:58,458 --> 01:28:00,040
Where have I been?

1076
01:28:00,166 --> 01:28:02,249
Down to the station.
Don't ask why, it's a secret.

1077
01:28:02,375 --> 01:28:03,540
Oh, please yourself.

1078
01:28:03,666 --> 01:28:06,749
- There's a paper chase tomorrow.
- Oh, whoopee!

1079
01:28:06,875 --> 01:28:08,332
- Who?
- The grammar school boys.

1080
01:28:08,458 --> 01:28:09,415
Oh zippee!

1081
01:28:09,541 --> 01:28:11,665
Perks says we can see them
going along by the line.

1082
01:28:11,791 --> 01:28:13,207
Oh really?

1083
01:28:14,625 --> 01:28:16,457
What's a paper chase?

1084
01:28:34,250 --> 01:28:35,832
Let me pass please

1085
01:28:40,875 --> 01:28:43,915
Hey! That's against by-laws.

1086
01:28:44,041 --> 01:28:47,332
- I ought to report him.
- They're only having fun.

1087
01:28:47,458 --> 01:28:51,499
Passengers is forbidden to cross the line
on any pretence.

1088
01:28:51,625 --> 01:28:55,082
He ain't no passenger.
He's out of sight now, anyway.

1089
01:28:55,208 --> 01:28:59,874
What the eye don't see the heart need
take no notice of, that what I always say.

1090
01:29:01,041 --> 01:29:03,082
Come on then.

1091
01:29:03,916 --> 01:29:06,499
He's gone in the tunnel.

1092
01:29:06,625 --> 01:29:08,582
Oh, it is dark in here.

1093
01:29:16,666 --> 01:29:18,790
(Man
what they're in for.

1094
01:29:18,916 --> 01:29:20,665
It isn't easy running in the dark.

1095
01:29:20,791 --> 01:29:23,790
They'll take a long time
going through, won't they?

1096
01:29:23,916 --> 01:29:25,707
Aye, they will that.

1097
01:29:34,500 --> 01:29:36,957
- They went that way.
- Oh thanks!

1098
01:29:38,375 --> 01:29:41,249
I know! Let's cut across to the top
and see them come out the other end.

1099
01:29:41,375 --> 01:29:43,540
- We'll be there before they are.
- (Bobbie) Good idea.

1100
01:29:43,666 --> 01:29:45,207
(Phyllis) Yes, good idea!

1101
01:30:24,958 --> 01:30:29,415
- This way!
- No, this way. Come on, quick.

1102
01:30:38,666 --> 01:30:40,082
There, that's all.

1103
01:30:40,208 --> 01:30:41,665
What should we do now?

1104
01:30:41,791 --> 01:30:43,957
Not yet,
there's one in a red jersey.

1105
01:30:44,083 --> 01:30:45,790
He hasn't come out yet.

1106
01:30:46,875 --> 01:30:48,915
Come on, let's go to the tunnel mouth

1107
01:30:49,041 --> 01:30:51,874
and perhaps we can see him
from the inside.

1108
01:31:04,291 --> 01:31:05,999
It's dark in there.

1109
01:31:06,125 --> 01:31:08,665
- Don't worry, Phyl. I'll protect you.
- I don't like it.

1110
01:31:10,083 --> 01:31:12,999
Still no sign of him. I reckon
he must have had an accident.

1111
01:31:13,125 --> 01:31:15,915
Let's go and rescue him.
Come on.

1112
01:31:16,041 --> 01:31:17,999
Come on, Phyl.
Keep close behind me.

1113
01:31:18,125 --> 01:31:20,249
If a train comes along
get flat against the tunnel wall

1114
01:31:20,375 --> 01:31:22,124
and hold your skirts against you.

1115
01:31:22,250 --> 01:31:23,624
I still don't like it.

1116
01:31:31,458 --> 01:31:34,165
(Faint rumble)

1117
01:31:34,291 --> 01:31:37,915
- I want to go back.
- Ssh, don't be silly. What is that?

1118
01:31:38,041 --> 01:31:39,499
It's another earthquake!

1119
01:31:56,208 --> 01:31:59,165
- It's a train.
- Oh, let me go back!

1120
01:31:59,291 --> 01:32:01,540
Don't be a coward, it's quite safe.
Stand back.

1121
01:32:01,666 --> 01:32:03,582
Come in, come on.

1122
01:32:26,750 --> 01:32:29,082
It is a dragon.
I always thought it was.

1123
01:32:42,875 --> 01:32:44,082
Come on.

1124
01:32:44,208 --> 01:32:46,915
Supposing that boy
was caught underneath the train...

1125
01:32:47,041 --> 01:32:49,332
- Oh!
- We've got to go and see.

1126
01:32:49,458 --> 01:32:51,999
Can't we go and get someone
from the station?

1127
01:32:52,125 --> 01:32:54,374
- Phyl, you wait here.
- No.

1128
01:32:54,500 --> 01:32:59,499
Hello?

1129
01:33:01,458 --> 01:33:03,957
Hey you two, come quickly!

1130
01:33:05,500 --> 01:33:09,249
Oh, is that blood?
Is that red blood?

1131
01:33:09,375 --> 01:33:12,499
- Is he all killed?
- Phyllis, please.

1132
01:33:12,625 --> 01:33:15,457
Hurry up you two, get help.

1133
01:33:29,333 --> 01:33:33,374
"It was on a hot summer's afternoon..."

1134
01:33:33,500 --> 01:33:39,040
Oh, do come down, we've found a hound
in a red jersey and he's broken his leg.

1135
01:33:39,166 --> 01:33:41,332
They're bringing him here,
I've sent for Doctor Forrest.

1136
01:33:41,458 --> 01:33:44,249
But you should send for a vet,
I can't have a lame dog here.

1137
01:33:44,375 --> 01:33:46,457
Oh, he's not a dog, it's a boy.

1138
01:33:46,583 --> 01:33:48,665
Well then he ought to be taken
to his mother.

1139
01:33:48,791 --> 01:33:52,040
His mother's dead,
his father's in Northumberland.

1140
01:33:52,166 --> 01:33:54,124
Oh, Mother, you will be nice to him,
won't you?

1141
01:33:54,250 --> 01:33:56,665
I told him I was sure you'd want us
to have him here.

1142
01:33:56,791 --> 01:34:00,124
- You always want to help everybody.
- Come along.

1143
01:34:10,458 --> 01:34:12,332
I'm glad you brought him here.

1144
01:34:12,458 --> 01:34:16,124
- Let's get him to bed.
- It will hurt a bit, won't it?

1145
01:34:16,250 --> 01:34:21,749
I hope you don't think I'm a coward if
I faint again. I don't do this on purpose.

1146
01:34:21,875 --> 01:34:23,624
I don't want to cause you
any more trouble.

1147
01:34:23,750 --> 01:34:28,165
Don't you worry, you're the one
who's got the trouble.

1148
01:34:28,291 --> 01:34:31,082
We'd love to have you here,
wouldn't we, Bobbie?

1149
01:34:31,208 --> 01:34:32,707
Yes.

1150
01:34:34,416 --> 01:34:35,999
(Doorbell)

1151
01:34:36,125 --> 01:34:38,957
That will be Doctor Forrest.
I'll go.

1152
01:34:46,291 --> 01:34:48,249
(Voices outside)

1153
01:34:49,291 --> 01:34:52,957
- That's not the doctor.
- I know.

1154
01:34:53,083 --> 01:34:55,374
I know that voice though,
at least I think I do.

1155
01:34:55,500 --> 01:34:59,915
I thought I recognised it too.
It's not the doctor, that's for sure.

1156
01:35:03,208 --> 01:35:07,040
Could it be that Doctor Forrest
has been attacked by highwaymen

1157
01:35:07,166 --> 01:35:09,790
and left for dead and this is the man
they've telegraphed

1158
01:35:09,916 --> 01:35:12,582
- to take his place?
- Perhaps he's gone mad.

1159
01:35:12,708 --> 01:35:15,457
Perhaps he's caught something awful
from one of his patients

1160
01:35:15,583 --> 01:35:17,082
and that man's come to tell her.

1161
01:35:17,208 --> 01:35:19,332
Nonsense. Mother wouldn't take the man
up into Jim's bedroom.

1162
01:35:19,458 --> 01:35:21,040
Why should she?

1163
01:35:21,166 --> 01:35:24,165
Listen.
The door's opening.

1164
01:35:34,791 --> 01:35:36,540
Now they'll come down.

1165
01:35:36,666 --> 01:35:38,707
It's rude to listen like this.

1166
01:35:38,833 --> 01:35:42,832
It's not listening, nobody in their senses
would talk secrets on the stairs.

1167
01:35:42,958 --> 01:35:44,749
(Mother) Bobbie?

1168
01:35:44,875 --> 01:35:47,665
A relative of Jim's has come,
he wants to see you.

1169
01:35:47,791 --> 01:35:48,749
Wash your hands and faces.

1170
01:35:48,875 --> 01:35:50,790
We'll be in the dining room
when you're ready.

1171
01:35:50,916 --> 01:35:51,957
Yes, Mama.

1172
01:35:54,291 --> 01:35:57,665
There now!
Fancy not thinking of that, hm?

1173
01:35:57,791 --> 01:36:01,165
- Any hot water, Mrs Viney?
- Righto love.

1174
01:36:07,291 --> 01:36:09,832
You all right?
There we are, that's it.

1175
01:36:13,166 --> 01:36:14,915
Well I never did!

1176
01:36:15,041 --> 01:36:17,624
This, my dears,
is Jim's grandfather.

1177
01:36:17,750 --> 01:36:21,124
Our own old gentleman!
I'm so awfully glad it's you.

1178
01:36:21,250 --> 01:36:24,165
When I just think of all
the old gentlemen there are in the world

1179
01:36:24,291 --> 01:36:26,082
it could have been anyone.

1180
01:36:26,208 --> 01:36:28,165
You're not going to take
Jim away though, are you?

1181
01:36:28,291 --> 01:36:29,457
Not at present.

1182
01:36:29,583 --> 01:36:32,749
Your mother has most kindly consented
to let him stay here.

1183
01:36:32,875 --> 01:36:37,374
I thought of sending a nurse but your
mother said she'd nurse him herself.

1184
01:36:37,500 --> 01:36:40,707
But we won't have anything to eat
if Mother doesn't write.

1185
01:36:40,833 --> 01:36:42,832
That's all right, Peter.

1186
01:36:42,958 --> 01:36:44,707
I see you trust your children.

1187
01:36:44,833 --> 01:36:47,915
- Of course.
- Then I may tell them our arrangement.

1188
01:36:48,041 --> 01:36:49,665
Sit down, my dears.

1189
01:36:52,125 --> 01:36:56,540
Your Mother, my dears, has consented
to give up her writing for a while

1190
01:36:56,666 --> 01:36:58,874
and to become
a matron of my hospital.

1191
01:36:59,000 --> 01:37:01,665
Does that mean we'll have to leave
Three Chimneys and the railways?

1192
01:37:01,791 --> 01:37:04,290
No, no, my darling. No.

1193
01:37:04,416 --> 01:37:07,124
The hospital is here.

1194
01:37:07,250 --> 01:37:12,040
The Three Chimneys Hospital
and my unlucky Jim is the only patient.

1195
01:37:12,166 --> 01:37:15,665
- Will Mother go on writing again?
- We shall see...

1196
01:37:15,791 --> 01:37:17,915
Perhaps something nice will happen
and she won't have to.

1197
01:37:18,041 --> 01:37:20,040
- But I like my writing.
- I know.

1198
01:37:20,166 --> 01:37:24,165
Don't be afraid I'm going to try
and interfere but one never know.

1199
01:37:24,291 --> 01:37:27,457
Very beautiful and wonderful things
do happen, don't they?

1200
01:37:27,583 --> 01:37:32,040
And we live most of our lives
in the hope of them.

1201
01:37:39,666 --> 01:37:43,124
I got your letter my dear,
but it wasn't needed.

1202
01:37:43,250 --> 01:37:47,832
When I read about your father's case
in the papers at the time I had my doubts.

1203
01:37:47,958 --> 01:37:51,915
And ever since I've known who you were,
I've been trying to find out things

1204
01:37:52,041 --> 01:37:54,290
and I have hopes.

1205
01:37:54,416 --> 01:37:57,707
- Oh...
- Yes, I may say, great hopes.

1206
01:37:57,833 --> 01:38:00,707
But keep your secret
for a little while longer.

1207
01:38:00,833 --> 01:38:04,040
Wouldn't do to upset your mother
with a false hope, would it?

1208
01:38:04,166 --> 01:38:07,332
But it isn't false.
I know you can do it.

1209
01:38:07,458 --> 01:38:10,249
I knew you could when I wrote.
It isn't false hope, is it?

1210
01:38:10,375 --> 01:38:12,040
No, my dear.

1211
01:38:12,166 --> 01:38:15,790
You don't believe Daddy did it?
Oh, say you don't believe he did.

1212
01:38:15,916 --> 01:38:19,624
My dear, I'm perfectly certain
he didn't.

1213
01:38:35,625 --> 01:38:38,124
(Bobbie)’Life at Three Chimneys
was never quite the same again

1214
01:38:38,250 --> 01:38:39,832
'after the old gentleman
came to see us.'

1215
01:38:42,125 --> 01:38:43,874
Oh, please Phyllis.

1216
01:38:44,000 --> 01:38:46,582
(Bobbie)’The house became a hospital.'

1217
01:38:48,625 --> 01:38:50,874
I give you three guesses
who that is.

1218
01:38:54,041 --> 01:38:57,374
(Bobbie) Is everything all right?
Good luck. I'll curtain up.

1219
01:38:59,250 --> 01:39:00,290
(Phyllis) Have you...

1220
01:39:00,416 --> 01:39:04,499
(Bobbie) Have you noticed
the ship is sinking?

1221
01:39:04,625 --> 01:39:08,040
(Phyllis) Yes I know,
but don't blame me.

1222
01:39:08,166 --> 01:39:09,665
(Giggling)

1223
01:39:09,791 --> 01:39:13,374
(Phyllis) Oh, no!
Oh, no they'll all get so wet.

1224
01:39:14,458 --> 01:39:17,082
(Peter giggling) You'll need some light
on the subject.

1225
01:39:18,833 --> 01:39:22,582
(Bobbie) As your solicitor
I must advise you.

1226
01:39:24,125 --> 01:39:26,332
(Phyllis) Don't worry.

1227
01:39:26,458 --> 01:39:29,582
(Giggling) Don't worry,
I've managed to get most of the survivors.

1228
01:39:29,708 --> 01:39:31,290
(Bobbie) Right, curtain down.

1229
01:39:31,416 --> 01:39:34,624
Thank you, good evening.

1230
01:39:42,083 --> 01:39:44,165
I hope you enjoyed it.

1231
01:39:54,458 --> 01:39:57,124
(Doctor Forrest)
Children, will you please be quiet.

1232
01:39:57,250 --> 01:39:58,832
(Phyllis crying) Oh, the blood!

1233
01:40:00,833 --> 01:40:02,999
- Oh, is it over?
- Oh, thank goodness.

1234
01:40:03,125 --> 01:40:05,457
- Oh, you are a good doctor.
- Can I have that please?

1235
01:40:05,583 --> 01:40:07,082
There we are. How's that?

1236
01:40:07,875 --> 01:40:09,499
- Cheerio.
- Bye.

1237
01:40:09,625 --> 01:40:12,957
(Bobbie)’Jim's leg got better
and he went home.'

1238
01:40:13,083 --> 01:40:15,707
- Right away, Mr Mitchell.
- Thank you, Mr Perks.

1239
01:40:21,916 --> 01:40:23,999
(Mother) Goodbye.
(Jim) Goodbye.

1240
01:40:24,125 --> 01:40:28,374
- Goodbye.
- Bye, I'll write.

1241
01:40:30,458 --> 01:40:35,165
- Lor lummy, Pete!
- They'll have to marry now!

1242
01:40:35,291 --> 01:40:36,290
Lummy.

1243
01:40:40,541 --> 01:40:43,665
(Bobbie)’We seemed to be hardly
Railway Children at all in those days

1244
01:40:43,791 --> 01:40:48,790
'and as the days went on each of us
had an uneasy feeling about this

1245
01:40:48,916 --> 01:40:50,999
'which Phyllis expressed one day.'

1246
01:40:51,125 --> 01:40:55,124
I wonder if the railway misses us.
We never go and see it now.

1247
01:40:55,250 --> 01:40:56,499
It seems ungrateful.

1248
01:40:56,625 --> 01:40:59,749
We loved it so when we hadn't
anyone to play with.

1249
01:40:59,875 --> 01:41:02,790
The thing I don't like is our having
stopped waving to the 9:15

1250
01:41:02,916 --> 01:41:04,957
and sending our love to Father by it.

1251
01:41:05,083 --> 01:41:07,457
Let's begin again tomorrow.

1252
01:41:21,458 --> 01:41:23,499
(Peter) Hurry up, Fatty,
for goodness sake.

1253
01:41:23,625 --> 01:41:25,957
(Phyllis) I can't, my bootlace is undone.

1254
01:41:26,083 --> 01:41:29,499
(Peter) When you marry your laces
will come undone going up the aisle

1255
01:41:29,625 --> 01:41:32,749
and the man that you marry
will tumble over and smash his nose in.

1256
01:41:32,875 --> 01:41:37,582
(Phyllis) I'd rather marry a man with
a smashed in nose than not marry at all.

1257
01:41:44,166 --> 01:41:47,624
- Take our love to Father!
- Take our love to Father!

1258
01:42:25,625 --> 01:42:27,249
Most extraordinary!

1259
01:42:27,375 --> 01:42:31,290
- Most extraordinary.
- Extraordinary indeed.

1260
01:42:32,750 --> 01:42:37,040
Now, Bobbie,
I wonder whether you could...

1261
01:42:38,916 --> 01:42:41,082
Don't you feel well?

1262
01:42:41,208 --> 01:42:45,332
I don't know.
I don't know how I feel...

1263
01:42:45,458 --> 01:42:47,290
Will you let me off lessons today?

1264
01:42:47,416 --> 01:42:51,540
I feel as if I want to be
quite alone, by myself.

1265
01:42:51,666 --> 01:42:53,790
Of course I'll let you off.

1266
01:43:00,500 --> 01:43:04,124
What is it?
You don't feel ill, do you?

1267
01:43:04,250 --> 01:43:07,290
No, not ill.

1268
01:43:07,416 --> 01:43:11,165
I've just got to be alone,
do you know?

1269
01:43:11,291 --> 01:43:15,915
Mm, sometimes Roberta,
you're so like me.

1270
01:43:22,291 --> 01:43:24,415
I'll be more alive in the garden.

1271
01:43:32,000 --> 01:43:34,790
(Station bell)

1272
01:43:36,500 --> 01:43:38,999
- Morning, Miss, I'm sure.
- Good luck, Miss Roberta.

1273
01:43:39,125 --> 01:43:40,665
Thank you.

1274
01:43:42,625 --> 01:43:45,915
Hello. Look, if this is the train,
it'll be smart work.

1275
01:43:46,041 --> 01:43:50,540
Bless you. I seen it in the paper. I was
never so pleased in all my born days.

1276
01:43:50,666 --> 01:43:53,415
One I most have and no offence I know
on a day like this.

1277
01:43:54,291 --> 01:43:57,124
And one for luck.
You ain't offended, are you?

1278
01:43:57,250 --> 01:44:00,499
I haven't taken too great a liberty, have I,
on a day like this, you know.

1279
01:44:00,625 --> 01:44:03,499
- No, Mr Perks, of course it's not a liberty.
- No.

1280
01:44:03,625 --> 01:44:07,290
Dear Mr Perks, we love you quite as much
as if you were an uncle of our own

1281
01:44:07,416 --> 01:44:08,749
but on a day like what?

1282
01:44:08,875 --> 01:44:12,249
Well like this’ere. I told you,
I seen it in the papers, didn't I?

1283
01:44:12,375 --> 01:44:14,124
Saw what in the papers?

1284
01:44:14,250 --> 01:44:24,374
Oakworth!

1285
01:44:25,875 --> 01:44:28,707
Oakworth Station.

1286
01:44:28,833 --> 01:44:31,665
Oakworth. There we are.
Thank you, Madam.

1287
01:44:31,791 --> 01:44:34,374
Yes, thank you.
Quick as you can, please.

1288
01:44:35,791 --> 01:44:38,832
Oakworth Station.

1289
01:44:42,250 --> 01:44:45,624
- Right away, Mr Cryer.
- Thank you, Mr Perks.

1290
01:45:22,625 --> 01:45:25,582
Daddy, my Daddy!

1291
01:46:47,791 --> 01:46:50,165
(Indistinct voices)

1292
01:47:03,625 --> 01:47:07,665
(Bobbie)’I think just now
we're not wanted there.

1293
01:47:07,791 --> 01:47:11,082
'Not for a few minutes anyway.

1294
01:47:11,208 --> 01:47:16,082
'I think it would best for us
to go quickly and quietly.

1295
01:47:16,208 --> 01:47:22,665
'We'll go to the end of the field
among the thin gold spikes of grass.

1296
01:47:22,791 --> 01:47:27,790
'We may just take one last look
over our shoulders, at the house

1297
01:47:27,916 --> 01:47:31,290
'where neither we nor anyone else
is wanted now.'

1298
01:48:46,625 --> 01:48:50,124
- Bye.
- Bye, bye.

1299
01:48:50,250 --> 01:48:52,290
Hope you loved it.

1300
01:49:04,625 --> 01:49:06,374
Goodbye.
