1
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:33,039
The day me and my family
came to the viIIage
2
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:37,159
was the summer of the Iast year
of the First World War.
3
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:43,679
Heat oozed from the ground and snow cIouds
of elder bIossom banked in the sky.
4
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:48,879
The chatter of haymakers drifted on waves
of air from the fields
5
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:55,479
humming with blundering bees
and flickering with scarIet butterflies.
6
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:56,799
WOMAN:
Morning!
7
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:34,999
Just look at this place!
8
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:38,639
What'd l tell you Doth, Marge,
innit something?
9
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:40,279
MARGE:
Beautiful, ma!
10
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:47,519
DOTH: lt's glorious!
- ANNlE: See, didn't l tell you?
11
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:50,319
We got veggies, look, we got veggies!
12
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:55,479
Look at this! Didn't l tell you?
13
00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:59,239
l can't pick you up, my love.
14
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:09,439
My first memories
15
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:15,279
are of being washed up
in this strange new Iand, diZzy with scent
16
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:20,439
and burnt aII over
with hot, white fIowers.
17
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:24,079
Look, we got strawberries here!
18
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:28,599
Oh look at this place,
Reg is gonna love it.. .
19
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:36,919
Loll?
20
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,959
Loll? Come and get some strawberries.
21
00:02:41,640 --> 00:02:43,959
Marge, he's not here.
22
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:45,759
Oh, he's gone a-wanderin' .
23
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:50,679
Loll?
24
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:56,319
There you are.
25
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:59,799
The world was a miracle to me.
26
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:04,439
And one day l wouId record what l'd seen
so that others could see it too.
27
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:09,039
Before it was Iost and gone forever.
28
00:03:11,920 --> 00:03:14,559
PHYL:
Now you go away.. .
29
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:19,319
Oh, l want the place filled with flowers.
30
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,519
You can make a posy here.
31
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:27,199
# As l was a-walkin' for my recreation. .. #
32
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:31,999
The eIdest were my father's
of another marriage
33
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:35,719
Marge, Doth and PhyI.
34
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,639
These half-sisters I cherished.
35
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:43,879
And my mother cared for the halves
just as much as she did for the wholes.
36
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:49,119
Me, my brother Jack
and my sister Frances.
37
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:51,759
Reg, where'd l put him?
38
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:55,839
ls he there? - Yeah.
- You got him? - Yeah.
39
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:57,319
Safe and sound.
40
00:03:57,640 --> 00:03:59,119
Pride of place.
41
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:04,399
My father was away in London,
working in the war office.
42
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:09,439
His picture was the only thing
l'd seen of him since l was 3.
43
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:11,839
Home.
44
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:39,279
Hello darling.
45
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:44,199
How is everyone?
- How are you?
46
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:48,519
You behaving yourself?
- l 've not broken nothing.
47
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:50,559
Good boy.
48
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:54,599
What's everybody up to?
49
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:56,959
Marge is out in the yard.
50
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:00,519
Doth is peeling spuds.
- What about the others?
51
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:05,439
Frances is cleaning her trolley
and Phyl is sitting on the steps.
52
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:07,679
What about our Loll?
53
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:10,519
Loll is dead, turned yellow.
54
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,159
Mrs Moores is laying him out.
55
00:05:15,840 --> 00:05:17,399
Loll's dead?
56
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:22,639
What are you doing?
- Poor boy he's gone, fled to the angels.
57
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:24,599
l was getting him ready for the box.
58
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:26,839
No, Loll ain't dead,
our Loll ain't dead, no, no.
59
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:28,839
Doth, go and mind the baby.
60
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:30,279
Marge, go and get the vicar. Now!
61
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,079
And send to stroud for the doctor.
62
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:34,399
Get me some blankets.
63
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:36,879
Oh Loll, oh my darling.. .
64
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:01,479
Please, hurry!
65
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:06,919
Please, please!
66
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:08,519
Please!
67
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:13,319
ln the name of God,
and trusting in his might alone
68
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:16,399
receive Christ's healing touch
to make you whole.
69
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:19,799
May Christ bring you wholeness of body,
mind and spirit. - My darling.. .
70
00:06:19,840 --> 00:06:25,719
Deliver you from every evil and bring you peace.
Amen. - My darling.. . my darling. Amen.
71
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:30,439
l came cIose to death.
72
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:33,999
But somehow, I cIung on.
73
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:35,919
Though it was a very near thing.
74
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:39,719
A very near thing indeed.
75
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:41,159
See?
76
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:45,639
she's coming!
77
00:06:54,880 --> 00:07:00,319
My sister Frances
was a beautiful, fragiIe child.
78
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:02,559
Come on.
79
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:06,959
We were full of mischief
and as thick as thieves.
80
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:19,039
LOLL:
Think she'll be a while!
81
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:20,999
Here it is.
82
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:34,039
"A murdered cadaver
will be shockingly uncovered."
83
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:36,559
What's a cadaver?
84
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:39,399
l think it's a kind of bird. ..
85
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:41,119
DOOR OPENS
86
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,039
Varmints been in again.
87
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:55,119
our two old neighbours
who were rival ancients.
88
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:57,999
Her up atop we called Granny TriII.
89
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:03,319
Keep it down, you great crow!
90
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:06,959
And her down under
was Granny Wallen.
91
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:14,119
You keep it down up there,
you great boar!
92
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,279
Miserable old trout.
93
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:34,399
We had a feeIing
that the summer would never end.
94
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:37,559
Little varmints.
95
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:42,599
AII sights twice brilliant
and smeIIs twice sharp.
96
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:46,719
Come on!
- AII games twice as long.
97
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:52,799
It seemed that here
no disasters couId happen.
98
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:55,879
That nothing could ever touch us.
99
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:11,879
THUNDER
100
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:18,719
Never been as bad as this before.
101
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:22,879
lt's cruel. Poor little mite.
102
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:27,599
Don't you fret, he always fights back.
103
00:09:29,680 --> 00:09:31,239
Come now.
104
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:33,479
Let's leave him be.
105
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:50,919
l will make sure you're alright, Loll.
106
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:28,479
As l lay in my bed
107
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:33,999
l couId sense the whole valley
by the surfaces of my skin.
108
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:38,639
The turn of the hour,
the set of the year.
109
00:10:38,680 --> 00:10:42,719
The weather and aII the life to come.
110
00:10:47,680 --> 00:10:51,599
l was made one with the valley.
111
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:55,199
so that l feIt part of its destination.
112
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:59,839
Washed of my fever, ice cold, but alive.
113
00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:04,239
It seemed l wouId never lose it again.
114
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:21,119
Loll?
115
00:11:22,680 --> 00:11:24,119
Hey darling.
116
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:34,079
l've cut you, look, some lovely
thin bread and butter to go with it.
117
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:41,879
Tummy ache. ..
118
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:44,639
Oh darling, that's because
you haven't eaten in a week.
119
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:47,359
Look, just don't eat it too fast
120
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:50,079
cos you'll make yourself sick.
121
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:57,919
Hey, l 'm gonna walk into stroud later on.
122
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:00,959
Gonna buy you a paint box.
123
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:03,599
Maybe some liquorice.
124
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:05,639
Would you like that?
125
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:08,359
Everyone's been asking about you.
126
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:09,879
Fancy that.
127
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:18,719
Where's Frances?
128
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:25,679
We buried her yesterday.
129
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:32,679
Cos of me?
130
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:35,399
No, darling, no.
131
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:39,199
No, you mustn't think that, you mustn't.
132
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:40,879
Understand me?
133
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:50,799
l'm sorry.
134
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:11,159
Frances died suddenIy.
135
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:12,999
siIently.
136
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:16,439
Hers was a death
that shouId never have happened
137
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:19,439
like so many chiIdren at the time.
138
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:23,919
l've always beIieved she gave me her Iife.
139
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:29,319
something so precious,
l wouId live it to the full.
140
00:13:30,560 --> 00:13:32,159
For both of us.
141
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:35,679
Stop messing me!
142
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:37,239
Give over, Loll.
143
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:39,119
Doth, pass us Jack's old jumper.
144
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:40,559
Oi, that's mine!
145
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:42,519
lt's more holes than jumper anyway.
146
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:48,119
Marge, he's here again.
147
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:56,559
l knew all about war.
148
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:59,959
My ears from birth
had been full of the taIk of it.
149
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:03,199
This man did not look like a soIdier.
150
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:08,679
He was not brass-soled, leather-belted
and wax-whiskered Iike my father.
151
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:10,319
MARGE: Tell me all about it.
- Shh!
152
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:11,839
Don't really know where to start.
153
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:15,239
Well the mud's a foot deeper
at the bottom of the trenches.
154
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:19,639
Shells crashing down on you from above.
155
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:24,319
And you can hear the bullets snap
and crack past your ears like a whip.
156
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:26,879
You oughtn't to be in the woods.
157
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:29,679
You ought to be at home.
- l wouldn't do.
158
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:32,679
They'd jump on you
before you could say "knife".
159
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:35,959
Hey, Jack.. .
- You got me!
160
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:39,159
He's alright.
161
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:40,839
Are you a soldier?
162
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:44,599
l 'm a solider, aye.
163
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:47,359
And you'd make a better
soldier than me any day.
164
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:48,959
Would you like some more tea?
165
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:50,879
Um, l've still got half a mug.
- Alright.
166
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:52,639
How's the war in the wood?
167
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:57,399
Have you lost it?
168
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:01,359
l'm doing my best not to.
169
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:06,319
You see my daddy's
a soldier fighting the war.
170
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:08,559
Not much fighting going on in London.
171
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:11,119
He's doing his bit
for the country. For all of us.
172
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:17,399
l tell you what, if l see your old man
l 'll tell him you said hello.
173
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:22,079
And uh, l 'd best be off.
174
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:23,719
You can stay a bit longer.
175
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:25,719
That's kind of you to offer.
176
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:33,919

You mind yourself.

Thank you.
- Take care. Marge?
180
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:50,839
Poor lad.

181
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:52,559
No good'll come of it.
182
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:54,319
DOTH:
Come on, let's go!
183
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:57,719

184

There we go, take your tater.
- What's going on?
185
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:02,959
You're starting school today.
186
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,639
No l ain't, l 'm stopping home.
- No, you're going to school.
187
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:07,759
Come on Loll,
you're a big boy now!
188
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:10,279
Don't wanna be!
- Don't be silly.
189
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:11,479
Marge, Doth.
190
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:13,159
See you.

191
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:15,439
LOLL:

00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:37,439
Come on, Loll, we got work.
- Go on, we'll be late.
195
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:39,999
Let's go.
- Go on!
196
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:42,999
lt was my first amaZed vision of any worId
197
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:46,839
outside the womanly warmth of my family.
198
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:50,439
l didn't expect to survive it for long.
199
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:56,959
Look in his pocket.
200
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:00,719
lt's a tater.
- Give it here.
201
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:02,239
Why've you got a tater?
202
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:07,119
l got his cap!
203
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:09,599
BELL RlNGs
204
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:16,799
Good morning, children.
205
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:21,919
Good morning, Miss Buckley.
206
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:28,119
Who we got here, then?
207
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:30,079
Laurie Lee.
- Well, Laurie
208
00:17:30,120 --> 00:17:33,519
how about you sit over there
for the present?
209
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:40,399
My desk companions were two girls
210
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:44,079
aIready puppishly pretty.
211
00:17:44,120 --> 00:17:46,039
Jo Jenkins. ..
212
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:48,719
When do we get the present?
213
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:51,679
And Rosie Burdock.
214
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:54,559
Jack Lee, don't be
laughing at your brother.
215
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:56,759
Now children, hands together.
216
00:17:56,800 --> 00:18:01,079
They were to distract
and haunt me for the next 10 years.
217
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:03,599
Hands together, Spadge Hopkins.
218
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:07,199
Our Father
219
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:09,919
who art in heaven
220
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:12,359
hallowed be thy name.
221
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:15,519
Thy kingdom come
222
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:18,119
thy will be done
223
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:22,519
on earth, as it is in heaven.
224
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:26,479
Give us this day, our daily bread.. .
225
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:32,279
The first and last years of school
reside most vividIy in the memory.
226
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:35,599
we entered the door marked "Infants"
227
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:40,559
moved gradually through the years
228
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:45,199
'tiI we were ready
to be handed back to the world.
229
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:48,039
.. .hallowed be thy name.
230
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:52,079
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done
231
00:18:52,120 --> 00:18:55,319
on Earth, as it is in heaven.
232
00:18:55,360 --> 00:18:58,079
Give us this day our daily bread
233
00:18:58,120 --> 00:19:01,519
and forgive us our trespasses
234
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:05,119
as we forgive those
who trespass against us.
235
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:10,759
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
236
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:16,199
Divine is the kingdom,
the power and the glory.
237
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:20,079
For ever and ever. Amen.
238
00:19:20,120 --> 00:19:23,719
Joseph's pond's frozen!
239
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:27,439
Come on Loll, you snail!
240
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:29,279
Wait for me!
241
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:03,719
JACK:
Come on Loll, quicker.
242
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:05,639
Whoa!
- Careful Loll, mind yourself!
243
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:07,559
Timber!
244
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:10,439
shove off, Rosie Burdock,
you be careful on this ice
245
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:12,639
you'll crack her underneath,
great big heifer.
246
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:14,679
You come over here and say that,
l'll box your ears.
247
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:17,199
Like to see you try.
248
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:19,959
Getting the hang of this skating lark.
249
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:21,799
Jo!
250
00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:23,559
Didn't know you could skate, Loll!
251
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:27,159
Jo, watch this!
252
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:28,679
Look at him, showing off!
253
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:30,519
Loll, careful,
you don't wanna break nothing.
254
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:33,519
Jo, watch this then.
255
00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:36,799
JACK:
Don't say l didn't warn you.
256
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:37,999
Ah!
257
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:39,119
Man down!
258
00:20:41,360 --> 00:20:42,999
You alright there, Rosie?
259
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:44,199
"Great big heifer"?
260
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:46,079
Meant it in a nice way, like.
261
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:58,479
we were all afraid
of the gobIin, Miss B.
262
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:01,119
4 goes into 2 how many times, class?
263
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:06,319
she was a terror.
We christened her Crabby.
264
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:08,719
No times, it's 0.
265
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:09,919
Dullards.
266
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:14,159
Carry the 2 to the next column,
making. .. class?
267
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:17,639
How many does it make?
268
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:19,119
lf you carry the 2?
269
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:20,439
Class?
270
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:22,999
26.
271
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:24,719
lt makes 26.
272
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:27,759
Nothing but straw between their ears.
273
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:31,559
2 and 6 makes 26!
274
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:33,919
Waste of bloomin' time.. .
275
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:35,279
Ah!
276
00:21:38,360 --> 00:21:39,439
Lee.
277
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:41,079
What's that you got?
278
00:21:41,120 --> 00:21:42,599
Give it here.
279
00:21:43,360 --> 00:21:46,119
You'll only earn yourself more strokes.
280
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:53,559
"The old red tree strew arches above us
making tunnels of rusty darkness. "
281
00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:58,399
"You, like a slip of yew."
282
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:02,559
"You, like a slip of yew",
what is this grubbiness?
283
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:03,879
Poem, miss.
284
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:05,719
lt's for his sweetheart.
- shut up!
285
00:22:07,360 --> 00:22:10,159
l will not have this kind
of talk in my classroom.
286
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:12,079
What have you got to say for yourself?
287
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:23,039
lt's my aunt, miss.
288
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:26,399
What about it, Jack?
289
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:30,599
l uh.. . l never got on with her.
290
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:34,039
Well, best get on, then.
291
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:36,639
Oh but miss, she's my cousin!
292
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:38,039
Mine too!
293
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:41,759
Wait, where do you think you're going?
Where do you think you're going?
294
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:44,199
Come back here, come back here!
295
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:55,159
We wouId do anything
to get out of Iessons.
296
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:58,999
Many a lone coffin
was foIIowed to its grave
297
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:02,279
by a straggle of long-faced children.
298
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:06,439
All strangers to the bereaved.
299
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:18,519
Memories mark you.
300
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:23,599
Moments in time to cast
a shadow over your Iife
301
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:26,519
and change it forever.
302
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:30,679
Remembering is to relive.
303
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:35,159
To be in the same moment all over again.
304
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:02,559
What you doing, ma?
305
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:04,439
l'm doing my scrapbook, Loll.
306
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:08,159
How was school?
- Alright.
307
00:24:10,360 --> 00:24:12,799
Where you off to?
l wanna hear all about school.
308
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:16,719
Loll? What you up to.
309
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:24,599
Aw, look at you.
310
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:26,479
l'm a soldier
311
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:27,959
like pa.
312
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:30,399
l can see that.
313
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:33,079
And a fine one you are, too.
314
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:36,639
But l think you're missing something.
315
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:39,399
Every soldier needs his rifle, see?
316
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:58,439
Pow, pow!
317
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:12,079
MAN:
He's in here somewhere.
318
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:36,959
shh, shh!
319
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:41,719
shh!
320
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:52,799
lt's alright, l 'm not gonna hurt you.
321
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:57,519
That were close.
322
00:26:09,120 --> 00:26:10,799
You ain't got no doors.
323
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:12,519
Got no walls, neither.
324
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:15,919
Set yourself down next to the fire,
get the heat back in your bones.
325
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:25,079
You mustn't tell no-one
you saw this place.
326
00:26:25,120 --> 00:26:27,679
The Hun's got spies everywhere,
do you understand?
327
00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:29,959
Good lad.
328
00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:33,119
lt's Laurie, ain't it?
- Loll.
329
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:36,199
James Harris. Private, First Class.
330
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:38,879
Why does your hand shake?
331
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:41,999
lt's just the cold.
332
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:44,039
The wind blowing in my bones.
333
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:46,079
TWlG SNAPS
334
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:55,439
Looking for someone?
335
00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:00,599
Loll? What are you doing out here?
336
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:03,719
There was Hun soldiers,
we hid from them.
337
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:06,799
He ain't got no doors.
338
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:08,759
Can't get no privacy.
339
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:11,239
His name's James.
340
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:12,999
ls it?
341
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:17,119
Well you're in luck, James.
l happen to have some food
342
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:19,039
clothes here you can have.
343
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:20,919
Thank you.
344
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:24,439
We was playing, weren't we Loll?
345
00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:27,679
Pow!
- Ah, you got me!
346
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:29,079
You got me.
347
00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:40,559
We'd better be off.
348
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:46,359
Say goodbye to James.
349
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:48,479
Bye, James.
350
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:53,839
You take care, you hear?
351
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:06,679
we were green and innocent.
352
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:10,199
Not fully understanding what we did.
353
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:14,919
lmitating the rituaIs and roIes
that had played out before us.
354
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:18,799
Was Archduke FranZ Ferdinand
assassinated, class?
355
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:21,159
ln which country? Class?
356
00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:23,439
Ow!
357
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:25,319
What do you think you're doing?
358
00:28:25,360 --> 00:28:27,999
spadge Hopkins, sit up straight.
359
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:29,839
This is as straight as l get.
360
00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:32,679
And you can settle down, Miss Burdock.
Hopkins, sit up, now!
361
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:34,279

362

Dunno.
365
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:46,159
London?
366
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:53,079
Sarajevo.
367
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:58,599
And why was this act of aggression
such an important moment?
368
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:02,159
Well. .. he was dead.
369
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:04,599
That was important for him, l s'pose.
370
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:06,719
And for the rest of us?
371
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:11,799
Come on, pudding head!
- You better watch it. ..
372
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:13,519
What can you tell us?
373
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:15,199
Nothing.
374
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:17,879
Cos you don't know nothing!
375
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:21,039
You're a great,
slouching know-nothing!
376
00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:23,239
Sod it all!
377
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:26,119
Where are you going, young man?
- lt's not any business of yours.
378
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:28,959
No, get back in your chair this instant,
l won't have it!
379
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:32,359
Ta-ra.
- No, l won't have it, you're going nowhere.
380
00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:35,999
Put me down! You put me down!
381
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:42,039
Help me get down,
someone help me get down!
382
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:44,439
Three cheers for Spadge Hopkins!
383
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:45,519

384
00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:47,039
Get me down!

Stop that, l won't have it!

00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:51,639
l won't have it!
387
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:12,399
ANNlE:
"Oh, all the woods and the meadows"
388
00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:15,559
"woods where we hid from the wet."
389
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:18,519
"stiles where we stayed to be kind. "
390
00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:21,079
"Meadows in which we met. "
391
00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:26,239
"Light so low in the veil,
you flash and lighten afar. "
392
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:32,119
"For this is the golden morning of love
and you are his morning star. "
393
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:37,919
"Flash, l am coming, l come by meadow
and stile and wood. "
394
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:40,719
"Oh lighten into my eyes and my heart"
395
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:43,239
"and into my heart and my blood. "
396
00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:47,759
"Heart are you great enough
for a love that never tires?"
397
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:49,959
"Oh heart, are you
great enough for love?"
398
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:52,639
"l have heard of thorns and briars. "
399
00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:56,159
"Over the thorns and briars,
over the meadows and stiles"
400
00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:58,639
"Over the world to the end of it"
401
00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:01,479
"flash of a million miles."
402
00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:04,399
What was that all about?
403
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:06,319
What do you think?
404
00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:07,799
Love and that.
405
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:09,359
The kind that goes on and on.
406
00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:11,359
Nothing lasts forever.
407
00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:13,159
Well it don't.
408
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:14,519
What about you and Jo?
409
00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:16,079
Oh shut up!
410
00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:17,639
Not Jo Jenkins?
411
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:18,959
Look at his blushing!
412
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:20,479
She ain't nothing or no-one!
413
00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:23,119
He's been pining for her!
- Ey Jack, now leave him be.
414
00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:26,319
'Jo l love you, Jo l wanna marry you! '
415
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:28,079
l told you to shut up!
416
00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:29,639
Get off me, get off me!
417
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:31,199
Pull 'em apart,
before they break something!
418
00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:35,679
Stop it, stop it now!
- Stop it, pa might arrive any minute.
419
00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:39,759
That's enough.
420
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:41,719
stand up, the pair of you.
421
00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:47,759
What will your father think if he comes home
and finds you like this?
422
00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:50,119
He'll think we've descended into anarchy.
423
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:53,399
Now go upstairs, the pair of you.
424
00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:03,039
HE PLAYs POORLY
425
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:07,439
The war had ended long ago
426
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:11,039
but our father stiII had not
returned to Iive with us.
427
00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:14,199
Are you gonna play that for your dad?
428
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:15,839
lf he likes.
429
00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:17,999
Of course he will. Lovely, it is.
430
00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:20,399
lt is?
431
00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:22,239
What time did he say?
432
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:24,999
There was the occasional
promise of a visit
433
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:27,879
and each time we attended dutifully
434
00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:29,919
lest we shake out mother's faith.
435
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:32,159
Oh he says he's bringing home
a whole leg of lamb!
436
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:35,639
We'll have a time of it tonight,
it'll be lovely.
437
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:40,919
Loll l, l think that's enough
practising for now.
438
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:44,439
l ain't finished, yet.
- No but l, l think that's enough.
439
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:49,079
Loll!
440
00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:55,199
KNOCK AT DOOR
441
00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:58,879
Telegram, ma'am.
- Thank you.
442
00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:18,759
He's been kept back in London.
443
00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:22,639
But he sends his best to you all.
444
00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:58,639
A serious drought hit the country.
445
00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:03,719
springs dried up, wells fiIIed with frogs.
446
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:06,439
Trees shriveIIed.
447
00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:09,479
crops burned in the fieIds.
448
00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:13,399
smaII, naked winds
blew over our faces.
449
00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:17,919
Dandelion seeds floated by.
450
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:22,999
Burnt sap and roast nettles
tingIed our nostriIs.
451
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:28,999
Together with the duII rust smell
of dry ground.
452
00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:31,559
There's none coming, ma!
453
00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:35,559
Oh Loll, darling, come here.
454
00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:39,959
Doth, get some mud, my love.
455
00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:43,519
Well we haven't got much, have we?
456
00:34:44,240 --> 00:34:46,839
Right then. Right, come on then.
457
00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:50,519
Here you are missus, try this'n for siZe!
- Granny Wallen!
458
00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:53,719
lt's the first of my last year's cowslip wine.
459
00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:55,439
Oh, you don't me giving 'em
too much though, Granny Wallen
460
00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:57,159
cos they'll have a funny turn.
461
00:34:57,200 --> 00:35:00,159
Conduct yourselves with some dignity
462
00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:02,799
else you shan't be getting nothing!
463
00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:05,919
You'd think you'd learned your manners
from her up atop!
464
00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:11,399
Ooh, did you hear him, missus?
465
00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:13,639
The screech bird?
466
00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:15,879
Last night it was.
467
00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:18,399
And the night before that.
468
00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:20,919
Ooh, l can't say l did, Granny Wallen.
469
00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:24,159
You mark my words,
her up atop is going.
470
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:26,999
You mark my words,
this heat will have her.
471
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:29,239
ls there something wrong with her?
472
00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:32,079
Not a lot right, that's for certain! Haha!
473
00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:34,879
Here, don't look so sour, you.
474
00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:38,319
You're so worried, run this up to her.
475
00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:53,279
That you again, varmint?
476
00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:55,239
l've come on a visit.
477
00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:58,399
Well you just mind my pots,
or l 'll cut you to pieces.
478
00:35:58,440 --> 00:35:59,799
Brought you some wine.
479
00:35:59,840 --> 00:36:01,759
From her down under?
480
00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:03,799
Poison, it'll be.
481
00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:05,279
No it ain't.
482
00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:15,679
lt's awful stuff!
483
00:36:15,720 --> 00:36:18,479
l 'll take it back, then.
- No, no, no.
484
00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:21,279
l'll take it. Might make use of it.
485
00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:23,919
scouring the pots.
486
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:28,759
You going bald?
487
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:31,719
Bald!? Never!
488
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:34,159
l've got my bits.
489
00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:36,519
Look at the dead stuff
dropping off your comb.
490
00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:39,239
That's healthy, that is.
491
00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:41,919
Just making room for more.
492
00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:47,079
Her down under. ..
493
00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:49,759
.. .l got more than her!
494
00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:57,319
Her's as bald as a tater root!
495
00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:06,719
Wicked old lump.
496
00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:10,319
l 'll see her gone.
497
00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:15,519
Her's failing, you mark my words.
498
00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:18,039
SOLDlER:
Right lads, up the hill.
499
00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:19,999
There's soldiers!
500
00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:22,479
SOLDlER:
Left, right, left.. .
501
00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:47,519
soIdiers with rifles
502
00:37:47,560 --> 00:37:52,559
marched to the top of the hiIIs
and began shooting at passing cIouds. ..
503
00:37:54,240 --> 00:37:55,879
sOLlDER: Fire!
- GUNsHOTs
504
00:37:55,920 --> 00:38:00,319
.. .hoping that bursting them might bring rain.
505
00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:01,199
Aim. ..

Don't get too close, Loll!
508
00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:10,599
Has Marge gone to see
the soldier in the woods?
509
00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:12,399
shh, come on.
510
00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:14,479
sOLDlER: Fire!

512
00:38:19,240 --> 00:38:24,159
whether from prayers, or shooting,
or the simple return of nature
513
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:27,799
the drought broke soon after.
514
00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:33,279
And it began to rain
as it never rained before.
515
00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:37,639
Sweet saints above!
516
00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:41,879
lt's coming in!
517
00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:44,759

Get the boys!
519
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:49,639
Sweep it, my darlings!

00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:53,399
Sweep it away!
521
00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:48,759
l've got you something.
522
00:39:55,840 --> 00:39:57,039
lt's my mum's.
523
00:39:57,960 --> 00:40:00,159
some of the lads, when we um. ..
524
00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:05,999
When they go over the top, they give
something away to be remembered by.
525
00:40:06,040 --> 00:40:08,519
But l got you to remember you by.
526
00:40:32,240 --> 00:40:34,159
Loll?
527
00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:36,159
You little sneak, Laurie Lee!
528
00:40:36,200 --> 00:40:38,759
l never done nothing!
- Oh come here, you!
529
00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:41,599
Gerroff!
- What you doing out here, anyway?
530
00:40:41,640 --> 00:40:43,279
Playing soldiers.
531
00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:49,599
Was he trying to hurt you?
532
00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:53,279
How'd you mean?
- Biting you.
533
00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:57,999
That wasn't. ..
that weren't no bite.
534
00:40:58,040 --> 00:41:00,039
lt was a kiss.
535
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:03,159
Like off ma, when l 'm in bed?
536
00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:06,039
l s'pose, a little bit.
537
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:10,159
When two people like each other a lot
538
00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:12,519
they wanna find a way to show it.
539
00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:14,759
You could just tell him.
540
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:18,639
sometimes you might
wanna do more than that.
541
00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:20,479
Get close to someone.
542
00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:23,279
Like ma and pa, you understand?
543
00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:26,079
ls the soldier going away, then?
544
00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:28,079
Why'd you say that?
545
00:41:28,120 --> 00:41:29,839
Pa went away.
546
00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:32,479
James isn't going anywhere.
547
00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:34,439
Can't catch me!
548
00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:37,639
Loll? Loll, where are you going?
- Can't catch me!
549
00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:39,559
Loll, get back here!
550
00:41:40,280 --> 00:41:42,439
Can't catch me!
551
00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:47,639
Come back here, Loll!
- Catch me if you can!
552
00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:49,879
Oh, l 'll catch you alright.. .
553
00:42:07,320 --> 00:42:10,879
so what shall we do now then, Jo?
- l don't mind.
554
00:42:10,920 --> 00:42:13,079
Go on, you tell.
555
00:42:13,120 --> 00:42:14,679
No, you do it.
556
00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:17,959
No.
557
00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:20,159
Do it like before.
558
00:42:22,720 --> 00:42:25,479
What seems to be the trouble then,
Miss Jenkins?
559
00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:08,999
The earIy exploration of Jo's body
560
00:43:09,040 --> 00:43:12,199
was a soIitary studying of maps.
561
00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:18,599
The signs upon her
showed me the way l should go
562
00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:22,559
over fIesh smoother than candle's skin.
563
00:43:23,640 --> 00:43:27,279
Like something thrown down
from the moon.
564
00:43:28,680 --> 00:43:30,959
That'll be all, Miss Jenkins.
565
00:43:42,560 --> 00:43:46,079
6 goes into 12.. . twice.
566
00:43:47,200 --> 00:43:51,399
1 foot, 0.304. ..
567
00:43:51,960 --> 00:43:56,759
1 inch, 2.54. ..
568
00:43:57,800 --> 00:43:59,639
Divided by 2. ..
569
00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:06,519
Ow.. .
- ROSlE: What are you doing, Loll?
570
00:44:07,280 --> 00:44:09,039
None of your business!
571
00:44:09,720 --> 00:44:12,839
l 'll tell miss you're on your way,
don't wanna miss the test!
572
00:44:15,240 --> 00:44:16,399
Ow!
573
00:44:18,360 --> 00:44:20,519
There will be no talking
574
00:44:20,560 --> 00:44:23,039
no cheating, no peeking.
575
00:44:23,080 --> 00:44:25,359
Spadge Hopkins, l'll be watching you.
576
00:44:27,040 --> 00:44:28,719
What's up with you?
577
00:44:28,760 --> 00:44:32,079
Please miss, l think l got the measles.
578
00:44:33,480 --> 00:44:35,559
Strange it's only on your arms.
579
00:44:35,600 --> 00:44:37,999
That's nettle rash!
- Shut up, Rosie!
580
00:44:38,040 --> 00:44:40,399
l seen him in the field getting them
so he could miss the test!
581
00:44:40,440 --> 00:44:43,359
Miserable child.
582
00:44:43,400 --> 00:44:44,959
Slow!
583
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:46,639
And laZy!
584
00:44:47,760 --> 00:44:51,919
Right class, begin test, write your names
on top of the sheet.
585
00:44:51,960 --> 00:44:57,239
Question 1 : x over 6+7 = 3 and a half.
586
00:44:57,280 --> 00:44:59,079
What is x?
587
00:44:59,640 --> 00:45:01,079
Move out the way!
588
00:45:01,680 --> 00:45:02,919
Move, move!
589
00:45:06,880 --> 00:45:09,759
Slow and lazy, can't catch me!
- l 'll have ya!
590
00:45:18,800 --> 00:45:21,839
Get off me!
591
00:45:21,880 --> 00:45:24,439
You're a pain in the neck,
Rosie Burdock!
592
00:45:26,640 --> 00:45:28,119
Get off!
593
00:45:30,040 --> 00:45:31,919
Ow, you're hurting me!
- Good!
594
00:45:31,960 --> 00:45:33,919
Teach you to go biting.

Get off!
596
00:45:43,640 --> 00:45:45,519
You got something

00:45:49,720 --> 00:45:51,319
l don't mind.
598
00:45:55,640 --> 00:45:58,679
You got any wine gums?
l'll show you if you want.
599
00:46:02,200 --> 00:46:03,759
You got any wine gums?
600
00:46:03,800 --> 00:46:05,639
Not for you, l ain't.
601
00:46:18,640 --> 00:46:20,319
Alright there, Loll?
602
00:46:20,360 --> 00:46:22,559

Ha ha ha, only thing now is stopping!
621

Ahh!

Use the brakes!

Ta, Jerry.
631
00:47:55,760 --> 00:47:57,439
Dearie me. ..
632
00:48:03,560 --> 00:48:05,679
Why'd you buy that? lt's broken.
633
00:48:06,280 --> 00:48:11,119
When l worked up at Galveston Court,
l always dreamed of owning one of these.
634
00:48:11,160 --> 00:48:13,839
And now l got one,
just a bit of glue, it'll be fine.
635
00:48:16,120 --> 00:48:18,519
We can't afford broken china, ma.
636
00:48:19,480 --> 00:48:22,999
So. .. have you been giving that
Rosie Burdock the run around, then?
637
00:48:23,040 --> 00:48:24,679
Ain't nothing doing.
638
00:48:26,480 --> 00:48:28,759
l remember when you two were little.
639
00:48:28,800 --> 00:48:31,559
You know, you pushed her in a fire.
Weren't burning, of course.
640
00:48:32,400 --> 00:48:33,519
Shame.
641
00:48:34,560 --> 00:48:36,319
The path of true love.
642
00:48:38,560 --> 00:48:40,639
Can l ask you something?
643
00:48:40,680 --> 00:48:42,879
You just did, didn't you?
644
00:48:47,560 --> 00:48:49,119
How'd you meet dad?
645
00:48:50,960 --> 00:48:52,399
Well. ..
646
00:48:54,080 --> 00:48:56,359
l was working in
your grandad's pub at the time
647
00:48:57,520 --> 00:49:00,399
and there was an advert in the newspaper,
"Widower".
648
00:49:00,440 --> 00:49:03,719
"Four children, seeks housekeeper. "
649
00:49:03,760 --> 00:49:05,399
That was it.
650
00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:11,519
l got lucky with his four,
they took to me straight away.
651
00:49:12,560 --> 00:49:15,799
You know, which was hard,
considering they'd just lost their mother.
652
00:49:16,680 --> 00:49:18,599
Good as gold, they were.
653
00:49:21,240 --> 00:49:23,039
And l had Frances.
654
00:49:24,680 --> 00:49:25,959
Jack. ..
655
00:49:26,800 --> 00:49:29,359
Then you came along, eh?
656
00:49:30,400 --> 00:49:33,239
First four years of us together
was just magic.
657
00:49:36,680 --> 00:49:38,559
l do love him, you know.
658
00:49:56,040 --> 00:49:59,039
The year revolved around the viIIage -
659
00:49:59,080 --> 00:50:03,879
the festivaIs round the year,
the squire round the festivaIs
660
00:50:03,920 --> 00:50:06,279
and the village round the squire.
661
00:50:06,320 --> 00:50:08,239
PHYL:
Squire's been good to us this year.
662
00:50:08,280 --> 00:50:10,039
The parochiaI church tea...

664
00:50:12,480 --> 00:50:14,319

665
00:50:14,360 --> 00:50:17,119
You've practiced enough,
it'll go alright.
666
00:50:17,760 --> 00:50:20,919
You two on tonight then?
Should be good for a laugh.
667
00:50:20,960 --> 00:50:22,639
Leave some for the rest of us!
668
00:50:26,840 --> 00:50:28,919

Another year comes around.
672
00:50:42,280 --> 00:50:46,279
When l see you gathered here, once more
673
00:50:46,320 --> 00:50:49,319

Rosie Burdock, that means you too.
683
00:51:28,080 --> 00:51:31,719
We must wait to say grace.
684
00:51:34,880 --> 00:51:37,759
Oh bountiful father. ..
- Oh bountiful father.. .

Excuse me, waiter.

Yes ma'am?
694
00:52:05,120 --> 00:52:10,119
What is the meaning of this fly in my tea?

00:52:10,800 --> 00:52:14,679
l wouldn't know.. .
l 'm not a fortune teller.
696
00:52:17,040 --> 00:52:20,039
And my soup tastes funny.
697

Well, why aren't you laughing then?
698
00:52:28,040 --> 00:52:32,279

705
00:53:14,280 --> 00:53:20,079
# And down the mountainside
706
00:53:20,120 --> 00:53:30,559
# The summer's gone
and all the flowers are dying
707
00:53:30,600 --> 00:53:32,879
# 'Tis you, 'tis you
708
00:53:34,840 --> 00:53:39,599
# Must go and l must bide
709
00:53:41,880 --> 00:53:44,759
# But come ye back
710
00:53:45,600 --> 00:53:50,599
# When summer's in the meadow
711
00:53:51,520 --> 00:53:56,719
# Or when the valley's hushed
712
00:53:56,760 --> 00:53:59,239
# And white with snow
713
00:54:01,600 --> 00:54:06,159
# 'Tis l'll be here
714
00:54:06,200 --> 00:54:10,759
# ln sunshine or in shadow
715
00:54:12,280 --> 00:54:17,039
# Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy
716
00:54:17,920 --> 00:54:21,559
# l love you so. #
717
00:54:28,080 --> 00:54:29,599
Well done!
718
00:54:32,240 --> 00:54:34,239
Didn't he do us proud?
719
00:54:34,280 --> 00:54:37,279
l 'll take it.
- That were great, Loll.
720
00:54:38,160 --> 00:54:40,359
Yeah, good'un Loll.
721
00:54:40,400 --> 00:54:42,919
Did alright, l s'pose.
- Ta. Where's Jo?
722
00:54:42,960 --> 00:54:44,759
Probably with the other babies.
723
00:54:44,800 --> 00:54:47,079
Right then, we going up there or not?
724
00:54:47,120 --> 00:54:49,879
l 'm up for it.
- Loll? How about it?
725
00:54:49,920 --> 00:54:52,439
Where you off to, then?
- Going by Bull's Cross.
726
00:54:52,480 --> 00:54:55,039
Harry LaZenby seen a phantom coach
two nights ago.
727
00:54:55,080 --> 00:54:57,359
There ain't no phantom coach.
728
00:54:57,400 --> 00:54:59,679
Alright, if you're scared.
729
00:54:59,720 --> 00:55:02,879
l ain't and l got no wine gums neither,
if that's what you're after.
730
00:55:03,400 --> 00:55:04,399
Your loss.
731
00:55:05,240 --> 00:55:07,039
l said l'd wait for Jo.
732
00:55:07,080 --> 00:55:09,599
Wasting your time
with goody two-shoes.
733
00:55:09,640 --> 00:55:11,839
JACK: Got a shift on.
- SPADGE: Ah, leave him behind.
734
00:55:11,880 --> 00:55:14,319
lf he ain't coming.
- Well, l've had it with this.
735
00:55:14,360 --> 00:55:16,679
Go home to your ma
if you're too scared.
736
00:55:21,320 --> 00:55:23,279
Oh alright then, wait up.
737
00:55:23,840 --> 00:55:26,719
l ain't waiting, slow and lazy Lee.
738
00:55:33,480 --> 00:55:38,239
BuII's Cross was an ancient staging post
739
00:55:38,280 --> 00:55:41,239
that cast up beasts and spirits.
740
00:55:41,280 --> 00:55:42,399
Anyone else hear that?
741
00:55:43,000 --> 00:55:44,559
That weren't nothing.
742
00:55:44,600 --> 00:55:45,719
Just an owl.
743
00:55:45,760 --> 00:55:48,639
We were afraid to go up there at night.
744
00:55:48,680 --> 00:55:51,519
Which is probabIy why we did it so often.
745
00:55:51,560 --> 00:55:53,879
You hear what they say
about the phantom coach?
746
00:55:53,920 --> 00:55:59,599
Anyone who sets eyes upon it
be cursed to die an horrible death.
747
00:56:01,920 --> 00:56:03,759
SPADGE:
Martin Fowler saw it.
748
00:56:03,800 --> 00:56:06,399
Two weeks later: dead.
749
00:56:06,440 --> 00:56:08,119
Run over by a coach and horses.
750
00:56:08,160 --> 00:56:11,839
That ain't no curse,
Martin Fowler was deaf and near blind.
751
00:56:11,880 --> 00:56:14,519
JACK: l heard the phantom's
an old coach driver.
752
00:56:14,560 --> 00:56:17,639
One time, his horses got spooked.
753
00:56:18,560 --> 00:56:21,999
They bolted,
throwing the driver from his seat.
754
00:56:22,040 --> 00:56:25,279
His head was dashed on the rocks.
755
00:56:25,320 --> 00:56:27,399
That's not what l heard.
756
00:56:27,960 --> 00:56:29,519
There was once a hangman.
757
00:56:29,560 --> 00:56:32,119
Used to string up villains from that gibbet.
758
00:56:32,160 --> 00:56:34,439
He worked nights
759
00:56:34,480 --> 00:56:37,239
taking thieves and murderers
up to them gallows
760
00:56:37,280 --> 00:56:39,319
where they'd be hung
761
00:56:39,880 --> 00:56:42,839
'til they'd be dead, dead, dead.
762
00:56:43,520 --> 00:56:44,999
On a storm black night
763
00:56:45,600 --> 00:56:47,439
he's handed a shivering boy.
764
00:56:47,480 --> 00:56:50,199
so he takes this boy up the gallows
765
00:56:51,120 --> 00:56:54,359
puts a noose around his neck,
pulls the knot tight.
766
00:56:55,560 --> 00:56:58,719
A cloud moved from the moon
and lit up the gallows.
767
00:56:59,560 --> 00:57:01,319
The hangman looked up
768
00:57:02,160 --> 00:57:04,959
to see the face of his own son
769
00:57:05,000 --> 00:57:07,199
looking back at him.
770
00:57:08,440 --> 00:57:10,199
The hangman went home
771
00:57:11,080 --> 00:57:13,999
drove a nail into the wall
and did what he did best.
772
00:57:15,440 --> 00:57:17,239
Now he haunts this place.
773
00:57:22,400 --> 00:57:23,959
We should get out of here.
774
00:57:24,000 --> 00:57:26,399
Think l can hear horses.
775
00:57:28,200 --> 00:57:29,199
Loll.. .
776
00:57:30,160 --> 00:57:31,839
you see that?
777
00:57:33,640 --> 00:57:35,319
lt's the phantom!
778
00:57:35,360 --> 00:57:36,559
ROSlE: Quick, go!
- sPADGE: Go!
779
00:57:38,280 --> 00:57:39,759
shh, shh!
780
00:58:03,000 --> 00:58:04,479
COACH DRlVER:
Get on, now.
781
00:58:12,120 --> 00:58:14,239
There's your phantom.
782
00:58:19,480 --> 00:58:21,519
Come on, let's follow him.
783
00:59:02,200 --> 00:59:05,359
Look at him,
he's cock of the walk, ain't he?
784
00:59:05,760 --> 00:59:07,159
shh!
785
00:59:15,840 --> 00:59:17,199
We should go.
786
01:00:14,560 --> 01:00:17,679
DOTH: Come on, lazy bones!
- Give us a minute.
787
01:00:17,720 --> 01:00:21,759
What are you playing at?
You'll be late for school.
788
01:00:23,360 --> 01:00:27,479
What?
789
01:00:35,680 --> 01:00:36,919
Morning.
790
01:00:38,240 --> 01:00:39,839
Something attack you in the night?
791
01:00:40,120 --> 01:00:41,399
Just shaving.
792
01:00:41,440 --> 01:00:43,359
What for?
You've got nothing but fluff.
793
01:00:43,400 --> 01:00:45,559
Them's whiskers.
- Get on!
794
01:00:45,600 --> 01:00:47,679
Be hairs on his chest next!
795
01:00:47,720 --> 01:00:49,119
And everywhere else!
796
01:00:49,160 --> 01:00:51,319
Leave him be!
797
01:00:54,040 --> 01:00:54,999
Ma?
798
01:00:56,040 --> 01:00:58,279
lf l could unsee what l just saw.. .
799
01:00:58,320 --> 01:00:59,679
What'd you see?
800
01:01:00,480 --> 01:01:01,839
lt's terrible.
801
01:01:01,880 --> 01:01:03,199
What is?
802
01:01:03,240 --> 01:01:05,519
Come on,
we're not bleedin' mind readers!
803
01:01:05,560 --> 01:01:07,159
Don't talk like that.
804
01:01:07,960 --> 01:01:09,799
Right, are you telling us or not?
805
01:01:11,680 --> 01:01:13,439
l was. ..
806
01:01:13,480 --> 01:01:16,199
l was just passing the Woolpack
807
01:01:16,240 --> 01:01:18,919
and he. .. he's just lying there.
808
01:01:19,760 --> 01:01:22,559
He's just lying there and his. ..
his eyes are open.
809
01:01:25,440 --> 01:01:27,319
l think he's dead.
810
01:01:34,400 --> 01:01:36,799
We all knew what had happened.
811
01:01:36,840 --> 01:01:38,959
we could taste the vioIence
812
01:01:39,000 --> 01:01:41,399
even if we'd not seen it
with our own eyes.
813
01:01:42,640 --> 01:01:44,999
lt was bIoody and raw.
814
01:01:46,160 --> 01:01:49,359
And more terrifying
than anything imagined.
815
01:01:49,400 --> 01:01:51,759
POLlCEMAN:
Has anyone seen anything?
816
01:01:51,800 --> 01:01:55,359
But the men that murdered him
beIonged to the viIIage
817
01:01:56,480 --> 01:01:59,119
and the village Iooked after their own.
818
01:01:59,160 --> 01:02:00,439
What about you, boy?
819
01:02:08,160 --> 01:02:09,599
You know anything?
820
01:02:13,840 --> 01:02:15,399
Alright lads, let's get him up.
821
01:02:15,960 --> 01:02:18,959
The culprits were never punished.
822
01:02:19,000 --> 01:02:21,959
But neither we, nor they.. .
823
01:02:23,680 --> 01:02:25,559
. ..ever forgot it.
824
01:02:35,760 --> 01:02:38,239
Have you seen him? The deserter?
825
01:02:39,800 --> 01:02:42,159
The farmer's seen him in the woods.
826
01:02:45,000 --> 01:02:47,239
You sure you haven't seen him?
827
01:02:48,640 --> 01:02:50,439
Get yourself home, lad.
828
01:02:50,480 --> 01:02:51,679
Come on.
829
01:03:10,280 --> 01:03:12,039
Why are you sad?
830
01:03:15,640 --> 01:03:17,519
Cos l miss Frances.
831
01:03:19,080 --> 01:03:20,719
What's a deserter?
832
01:03:22,680 --> 01:03:24,599
Where'd you hear that word?
833
01:03:24,640 --> 01:03:27,559
From a soldier with a red hat on.
834
01:03:28,280 --> 01:03:31,759
Oh Marge it's too late,
there's nothing you can do now, darling.
835
01:03:31,800 --> 01:03:33,079
l 've got to warn him!
836
01:03:33,120 --> 01:03:36,239
This'll only break your heart, it's too late!
- Don't you understand?
837
01:03:36,280 --> 01:03:37,799
Of course l understand.
838
01:03:37,840 --> 01:03:40,239
Well then you know
l have to go to him.
839
01:03:40,840 --> 01:03:42,359
Oh darling. ..
840
01:03:42,400 --> 01:03:45,079
Can l go with her to the war?
841
01:03:45,120 --> 01:03:46,559
No, Loll.
842
01:03:47,480 --> 01:03:49,279
Oh sweetheart. ..
843
01:03:53,600 --> 01:03:56,719
ls the war coming to our house?
844
01:04:00,040 --> 01:04:02,919
No sweetheart, we're safe here.
845
01:04:22,040 --> 01:04:23,719
Thank you, Loll.
846
01:04:26,840 --> 01:04:28,199
He's safe.
847
01:04:29,760 --> 01:04:31,119
For now.
848
01:04:48,480 --> 01:04:50,839
Come on Loll, hurry up!
849
01:04:53,840 --> 01:04:56,719
Jack, wait up!
- so slow.
850
01:04:58,560 --> 01:04:59,919
Jack!
851
01:05:03,720 --> 01:05:08,959
That summer mysterious senses
clicked into pIay.
852
01:05:09,000 --> 01:05:13,119
Our thighs seemed
to burn Iike dry grass.
853
01:05:13,160 --> 01:05:16,199
Emotions swung wiIdIy
854
01:05:16,240 --> 01:05:20,439
and our bodies seemed tiIted
out of all recognition.
855
01:05:20,480 --> 01:05:23,119
We knew what was
happening to us
856
01:05:24,280 --> 01:05:26,799
we just didn't know
what to do with it.
857
01:05:27,600 --> 01:05:30,159
She ain't coming.
- she's always through after church.
858
01:05:30,680 --> 01:05:33,519
Won't she.. . mind?
- Mind?
859
01:05:33,560 --> 01:05:36,039
LizZie's keen. Let us do all we want.
860
01:05:36,080 --> 01:05:37,359
All we want?
861
01:05:37,400 --> 01:05:38,679
JACK: shut up, Loll.
- You shut up.
862
01:05:38,720 --> 01:05:40,839
Both of you, shut up.
863
01:05:41,840 --> 01:05:43,559
she's coming.
864
01:05:48,360 --> 01:05:49,559
Go on.
865
01:05:58,640 --> 01:06:00,639
Alright there, LizZie.
866
01:06:03,040 --> 01:06:04,039
Hello.
867
01:06:05,000 --> 01:06:06,279
What are you doing?
868
01:06:06,320 --> 01:06:09,439
Whatever you want us to be doing.
- Yeah.
869
01:06:10,760 --> 01:06:13,919
Go on then, what do you got in mind?
870
01:06:17,840 --> 01:06:18,999
Ow!
871
01:06:21,560 --> 01:06:22,999
What do we do now, then?
872
01:06:23,040 --> 01:06:25,599
l dunno, let's go.
873
01:07:32,800 --> 01:07:34,439
You alright, ma?
874
01:07:36,480 --> 01:07:37,879
What happened?
875
01:07:38,960 --> 01:07:40,519
lt's Granny Trill.
876
01:07:46,760 --> 01:07:53,359
so many of my childhood days had been spent
prowIing sIowly round Granny Trill's treasures.
877
01:07:56,720 --> 01:07:58,799
Now she was gone.
878
01:08:16,400 --> 01:08:17,799
Lord have mercy.
879
01:08:46,600 --> 01:08:54,519
Not two weeks after Granny TriII died,
Granny WaIIen gave up in her sleep.
880
01:11:04,440 --> 01:11:06,719
You coming in, then?
881
01:11:06,760 --> 01:11:10,199
It was as though
l'd been dipped in hot oil.
882
01:11:10,240 --> 01:11:12,359
Stone me. ..
883
01:11:12,400 --> 01:11:17,719
Baked, dried and
hung throbbing on wires.
884
01:11:17,760 --> 01:11:19,879
l know you're there, Laurie Lee.
885
01:11:21,680 --> 01:11:24,719
I was an unexpIoded bomb.
886
01:11:29,720 --> 01:11:32,919
FlREWORKs EXPLODE
887
01:11:44,080 --> 01:11:45,919
Where's ma?
888
01:11:46,560 --> 01:11:48,199
Away with dad.
889
01:11:48,720 --> 01:11:50,839
You could smile, Loll,
the war's finished.
890
01:11:50,880 --> 01:11:53,079
Everyone's in the Woolpack, Marge,
there's music.
891
01:11:53,120 --> 01:11:55,439
Everyone's dancing! Let's go, Jack.
892
01:11:55,480 --> 01:11:58,919
Stop a minute longer,
only a minute won't do no harm.
893
01:12:08,040 --> 01:12:10,759
Will pa die now the war is over?
894
01:12:10,800 --> 01:12:13,119
No, course he won't.
895
01:12:13,160 --> 01:12:14,959
So he'll be coming home?
896
01:12:18,480 --> 01:12:20,959
You got all the people
you need already.
897
01:12:21,760 --> 01:12:25,679
Ma, Doth, Phyl and me,
we look after you.
898
01:12:27,280 --> 01:12:29,679
JAMES:
l told you, leave me be!
899
01:12:29,720 --> 01:12:32,039
A soldier, maybe he's seen pa!
900
01:12:32,080 --> 01:12:34,079
SOLDlER:
Out of the way.. .
901
01:12:34,120 --> 01:12:35,599
Oh no!
902
01:12:37,560 --> 01:12:40,759
l never told, l never told anyone!
903
01:12:40,800 --> 01:12:41,879
MARGE:
James?
904
01:12:41,920 --> 01:12:44,799
stop it, you're hurting him!
Stop it, leave him alone!
905
01:12:48,240 --> 01:12:52,159
Marge!
906
01:12:52,200 --> 01:12:53,439
l love you!
907
01:13:04,280 --> 01:13:06,079
l love you too.
908
01:13:07,240 --> 01:13:08,599
SOLDlER: Step away, please.
- No!
909
01:13:08,640 --> 01:13:12,679
I knew something
momentous was happening.
910
01:13:13,520 --> 01:13:15,039
The war was over
911
01:13:15,880 --> 01:13:18,639
and the end of the world was come.
912
01:13:19,600 --> 01:13:21,919
Mother had disappeared
913
01:13:23,440 --> 01:13:27,119
and l never expected
to see another day.
914
01:13:49,920 --> 01:13:54,239
You weren't there
when the war ended, were you?
915
01:13:56,120 --> 01:13:58,439
You were in London with pa.
916
01:14:03,040 --> 01:14:05,039
You should've seen it.
917
01:14:06,640 --> 01:14:08,799
Trafalgar Square.. .
918
01:14:10,680 --> 01:14:12,639
The fountains. ..
919
01:14:13,960 --> 01:14:17,159
There was soldiers dancing with girls.
920
01:14:18,400 --> 01:14:20,399
And there was Reg. ..
921
01:14:21,640 --> 01:14:25,679
His uniform.. . his uniform on.
922
01:14:28,080 --> 01:14:30,079
His hair was just so.
923
01:14:33,000 --> 01:14:34,359
That night.. .
924
01:14:36,520 --> 01:14:38,359
lt were magic.
925
01:14:39,400 --> 01:14:41,079
Magic it was.
926
01:14:43,240 --> 01:14:45,479
Was that the night he told you?
927
01:14:47,720 --> 01:14:50,399
That he wasn't coming back
to live with us no more.
928
01:14:52,120 --> 01:14:55,519
No, no, he never said that, see.
929
01:14:56,840 --> 01:14:58,959
Got a job in the civil service.
930
01:15:01,000 --> 01:15:03,639
We've never wanted for nothing, have we?
931
01:15:06,120 --> 01:15:08,279
But we were his family.
932
01:15:45,720 --> 01:15:46,879
Alright, Loll?
933
01:15:48,040 --> 01:15:50,079
Go on, get out of here.
934
01:15:51,280 --> 01:15:52,799
You must be thirsty.
935
01:15:54,120 --> 01:15:56,319
l ain't.
- You be.
936
01:15:56,360 --> 01:15:58,799
Come on, l 'll show you.
937
01:15:59,640 --> 01:16:00,839
Come on!
938
01:16:00,880 --> 01:16:02,679
Unless you're scared.
939
01:16:12,520 --> 01:16:17,359
The day Rosie Burdock
decided to take me in hand
940
01:16:17,400 --> 01:16:20,039
was a motionIess day of summer.
941
01:16:20,720 --> 01:16:25,039
Creamy, haZy
and amber-coIoured
942
01:16:25,080 --> 01:16:29,159
with beech trees
standing in heavy sunIight
943
01:16:29,200 --> 01:16:33,119
as though cIogged
with wild, wet honey.
944
01:16:38,160 --> 01:16:40,679
What you doing, Rosie?
l ain't playing no more games.
945
01:16:40,720 --> 01:16:42,439
Get under here before someone sees.
946
01:16:42,480 --> 01:16:44,959
l was terrified of her.
947
01:16:45,000 --> 01:16:48,799
ln her eyes, I saw unnatural wisdoms
948
01:16:48,840 --> 01:16:51,119
more threatening
than anything l couId imagine.
949
01:16:51,160 --> 01:16:53,439
What you got there?
- Cider.
950
01:16:57,000 --> 01:16:58,999
How does it taste?
951
01:17:00,120 --> 01:17:03,159
Like. .. like fire.
952
01:17:10,680 --> 01:17:12,919
Here, don't drink it all!
- l ain't finished!
953
01:17:12,960 --> 01:17:14,319
Give it here!
954
01:17:24,240 --> 01:17:25,759
Rosie. ..
955
01:17:30,440 --> 01:17:33,559
l like you better than Walt Ken
and Boney Harris.
956
01:17:34,440 --> 01:17:38,279
l, l think you're even prettier
than Betty Carpenter.
957
01:17:40,960 --> 01:17:42,439
should hope so.
958
01:17:50,080 --> 01:17:52,079
we kissed...
959
01:17:52,120 --> 01:17:58,119
so dry and shy,
it was Iike two leaves colliding in air.
960
01:17:58,480 --> 01:17:59,679
JACK:
Loll?
961
01:18:03,840 --> 01:18:09,759
Loll?
962
01:18:44,480 --> 01:18:47,479
You really like me more than Walt?
- Do l 'eck!
963
01:18:55,440 --> 01:18:57,599
You do like me more than Walt.
964
01:19:00,440 --> 01:19:02,999
Look at this place. ..
- What about it?
965
01:19:04,600 --> 01:19:07,239
The hills running together.. .
966
01:19:07,280 --> 01:19:11,039
The trees.. . the whole valley.
967
01:19:11,080 --> 01:19:13,879
You ever feel like you're a part of it?
968
01:19:13,920 --> 01:19:16,839
That cider's gone to your head!
969
01:19:16,880 --> 01:19:18,999
lt's magnificent.
970
01:19:56,280 --> 01:19:59,159
You got your boots on!
- Don't matter!
971
01:20:11,200 --> 01:20:13,039
Timber!
972
01:20:14,960 --> 01:20:17,599
You get home safe, Laurie Lee!
973
01:20:22,680 --> 01:20:26,319
Rosie?
974
01:20:26,720 --> 01:20:28,879
oh Rosie. ..
975
01:20:28,920 --> 01:20:31,439
There's something about that evening
976
01:20:31,480 --> 01:20:34,799
that dilates the memory, even now.
977
01:20:36,760 --> 01:20:38,319
THUNDER
978
01:20:44,560 --> 01:20:48,639
l was bursting
with power and pIeasure.
979
01:20:53,280 --> 01:20:58,439
I felt vaIiant, fatefuI
and for the first time in my life. ..
980
01:20:58,480 --> 01:21:02,199
.. .invulnerable to the perils of night.
981
01:21:04,080 --> 01:21:07,079
I was never the same again.
982
01:21:09,320 --> 01:21:11,439
PHYL:
l think they're pretty.
983
01:21:13,160 --> 01:21:15,519
What are you meant to be?
- Night.
984
01:21:15,560 --> 01:21:20,279
The year after the war ended,
we were ceIebrating peace.
985
01:21:20,320 --> 01:21:21,959
Rosie!
986
01:21:22,840 --> 01:21:25,119
Don't you look a picture?
987
01:21:25,160 --> 01:21:28,879
Oh my goodness. .. you both do.
988
01:21:29,440 --> 01:21:30,839
All of you!
989
01:21:33,840 --> 01:21:37,039
l 'm a fairy.
- You can fly?
990
01:21:38,520 --> 01:21:40,639
You got wings?
991
01:21:41,200 --> 01:21:42,879
Then fly.
992
01:21:43,240 --> 01:21:44,599
Fly!
993
01:21:45,480 --> 01:21:48,159
ROSlE CRlES
994
01:21:48,240 --> 01:21:51,519
Rosie!
995
01:21:51,560 --> 01:21:53,559
Oh Loll, what'd you do that for?
996
01:21:57,040 --> 01:22:01,719
On that spring day
of magicaI transformations
997
01:22:01,760 --> 01:22:07,519
of tears and dusty sunIight, of brass bands
and cakes by the cartIoad
998
01:22:07,560 --> 01:22:12,519
we couldn't know
what the future heId for any of us.
999
01:22:13,280 --> 01:22:17,519
Pretty Jo grew fat
with a Painswood baker.
1000
01:22:19,240 --> 01:22:23,919
And Rosie, having baptised me
with her ciderous kisses
1001
01:22:23,960 --> 01:22:28,239
married a soIdier
and I Iost her forever.
1002
01:22:29,160 --> 01:22:30,999
lf you all move over
to your right a little.
1003
01:22:31,040 --> 01:22:32,039
Keep very still.
1004
01:22:32,080 --> 01:22:35,239
suns rose and feII.
1005
01:22:35,280 --> 01:22:38,679
Years passed aImost without us knowing.
1006
01:22:42,560 --> 01:22:46,679
Now the Iast days
of my family drew near.
1007
01:22:46,720 --> 01:22:49,879
The girls were grown
and they wished to be gone.
1008
01:22:49,920 --> 01:22:53,119
ANNlE: You're not leaving.
Doth, Phyl, she's not leaving.
1009
01:22:53,160 --> 01:22:55,279
MARGE: stay out of this.
- ANNlE: Put your case down. - No!
1010
01:22:55,320 --> 01:22:56,999
We're getting married!
1011
01:22:57,800 --> 01:22:58,919
You're not taking her!
1012
01:22:58,960 --> 01:23:00,639
lt's time, ma!
1013
01:23:00,680 --> 01:23:02,359
You can't keep her here
forever, Mrs Lee.
1014
01:23:05,840 --> 01:23:08,239
Who do you think you're talking to?
1015
01:23:08,280 --> 01:23:09,719
Huh?
1016
01:23:10,480 --> 01:23:11,799
MARGE: Mother!
- Ma!
1017
01:23:11,840 --> 01:23:12,919
SHOUTlNG
1018
01:23:15,680 --> 01:23:17,959
MARGE: Stop it!
- You're not taking her! - stop it!
1019
01:23:19,840 --> 01:23:21,839
l cannot be without him!
1020
01:23:24,320 --> 01:23:25,559
We're in love.
1021
01:23:28,080 --> 01:23:30,919
Do you think l don't
understand about love?
1022
01:23:32,440 --> 01:23:35,759
He had tried to carry off
our wiIIing sister
1023
01:23:35,800 --> 01:23:38,959
and we had all of us
very near kiIIed him.
1024
01:23:39,000 --> 01:23:40,639
Oh, come here!
1025
01:23:40,680 --> 01:23:42,599
Oh, me darling.
1026
01:23:42,640 --> 01:23:44,559
lt's alright, Mrs Lee.
- lt's okay, you're right.
1027
01:23:44,600 --> 01:23:46,439
There we go. You sit down, alright.
1028
01:23:46,480 --> 01:23:48,399
Come here, my darling.
1029
01:23:48,440 --> 01:23:51,479
Oh Marge, oh Marge. ..
1030
01:24:38,000 --> 01:24:39,879
That's me, then.
1031
01:25:01,320 --> 01:25:04,039
Do you remember
"Blackbirds and Thrushes"?
1032
01:25:05,000 --> 01:25:07,359
Yeah.
- lt was your dad's favourite.
1033
01:25:08,880 --> 01:25:11,359
Used to get me to sing it all the time.
1034
01:25:12,600 --> 01:25:19,479
# As l was a-walkin' for my recreation
1035
01:25:20,520 --> 01:25:22,559
# Down by the green.. . #
1036
01:25:22,600 --> 01:25:27,359
The three or four years
my mother spent with my father
1037
01:25:27,400 --> 01:25:30,039
she fed on for the rest of her life.
1038
01:25:30,080 --> 01:25:33,079
# .. .There l met a fair maid. .. #
1039
01:25:33,120 --> 01:25:38,279
she raised his two families
faithfully and aIone.
1040
01:25:38,320 --> 01:25:43,319
And for 30 years
she clung to one fantasy
1041
01:25:43,360 --> 01:25:46,559
that he might one day return to her.
1042
01:25:48,560 --> 01:25:50,479
But he never did.
1043
01:25:50,520 --> 01:25:54,799
# . ..With his heart full of yearning
1044
01:25:54,840 --> 01:26:01,639
# He found his dear Mary
all dead in her grave
1045
01:26:01,680 --> 01:26:10,199
# He cried "l'm forsaken,
my poor heart is breaking"
1046
01:26:22,920 --> 01:26:25,879
# l wish that l never.. .
1047
01:26:26,800 --> 01:26:29,319
# . ..Left this fair maid. #
1048
01:26:35,200 --> 01:26:36,759
You're my soldier.
1049
01:26:42,200 --> 01:26:45,199
Off you go, then. sit up straight.
1050
01:26:48,480 --> 01:26:50,799
Off you go. Go on.
1051
01:27:00,400 --> 01:27:03,679
My mother loved this worId
1052
01:27:03,720 --> 01:27:07,959
and saw it fresh with hopes
that never clouded.
1053
01:27:08,960 --> 01:27:14,599
she was an artist,
a light-giver and an originaI.
1054
01:27:14,640 --> 01:27:18,479
And she never for a moment knew it.
1055
01:27:26,120 --> 01:27:28,599
As for me. ..
1056
01:27:28,640 --> 01:27:32,239
l was 19 years oId.
1057
01:27:32,280 --> 01:27:34,479
still soft at the edges
1058
01:27:34,520 --> 01:27:38,239
but with the confident
beIief in good fortune.
1059
01:27:39,840 --> 01:27:42,559
I was vainglorious
1060
01:27:42,600 --> 01:27:45,719
full of raging excitement
1061
01:27:45,760 --> 01:27:48,759
knowing l had far to go.
1062
01:27:51,240 --> 01:27:57,879
l left behind a village Iife that was
soon to break, dissoIve and scatter.
1063
01:27:59,640 --> 01:28:01,919
The valley wouId change forever
1064
01:28:03,080 --> 01:28:04,999
and so wouId l.
1065
01:28:07,400 --> 01:28:09,599
I felt doomed
1066
01:28:09,640 --> 01:28:13,199
and of all things, wonderfuI.
