I'm sorry, Sarah, but we have to close down.

We're beaten.

I don't believe it 40 years I've worked here.

Today it's a damn bad day for greyback.

Nowt last nowadays.

Some of them will be a lot worse off than you and me.

Aye, them with young children to keep.

What's the good o' good going on with the mill concert party if the mill's closed down?

Somebody had better go and ask young Mr. Phillips.

He's being rehearsing with us.

Grace ought to go.

She knows him best.

Where is she?

Grace?

It's all right, I heard it first time.

I'll go and see him.

Oh! Shut up you piecan.

Good luck, Gracie.

Come in.

You haven't heard from your father, Hugh?

He may ring up from London tonight.

There isn't a chance

of the whole place starting up again, is there?

Not a chance unless we can find some new cheap process.

I'm afraid the greyback mills are finished.

Aye, and just as we're getting

a damn good football team together again.

Come in.

The girls and the lads we got together for that show

asked me to come here

and they want to know if there's any use going on with it.

Seems pretty hopeless, doesn't it?

I don't know.

If we can't spin, we can still sing.

We'll be able to practise while we're all queuing up

for dole. It'll be very funny.

No it won't, it's a rotten shame.

It's more than that it's a...

I'll ask my uncle murgatroyd to say it for me.

Is that the uncle you live with?

Yes.

My uncle murgatroyd and my aunt Alice and 50 clocks,

and we all live together.

You wouldn't think folks would forget their clocks, would you?

But the house is full of them.

Since uncle gave up his shop.

Why did he do that?

It interfered too much with his drinking.

Now we're all out of work.

Even clocks are on strike.

Well, I'll have to look for another job myself somewhere.

I see.

Well, hope you find one.

You won't forget us all, will you?

Of course not.

We had some fun on those rehearsals, didn't we?

I think I'll miss you, grace.

Rather you miss me than hit me, lad.

Goodbye, grace.

Bye.

Cheer up, grace.

Ta-ra.

What's going on?

No luck, grace?

It's no good.

We'll have to pack up.

Well, grace,

best luck not having this so done to you.

Oh! No, it hasn't, long face.

Come on lads and Lasses,

let's leave the mill in good style.

Sing as we go.

J singing is what makes the world go round j

j singing along the tunes along the highway j

j there's no time for sorrow j

j and there's tomorrow to think of today j

nevermind Charlie, it will be a long time before I'm late again.

Aye worse luck

I might as well clock myself in t'cemetery now

well, when you do, do it with one of our clocks.

J a song and a smile makes the time worthwhile j

j so sing as we go along. J

j sing as we go and let the world go by j

Mrs. Higgins, what time is it?

20 past?

20 past what?

Oh! You shut up.

What's up with you, silly face?

Now look what you started, you chump.

What do you want?

My father's come home again.

Well, I don't care. Who is your father.

Joe sugden and we live in little tappit street

and he's been away more than two years

but he's come back now.

Time he did too.

It's about a clock.

Come in, lad.

Don't stand there shouting at the doorstep.

What's up?

My father said he took our clock to your shop.

Two and a half years since

and now he wants it back.

He said even if you haven't mended it

because my grandad gave it to him.

What sort of clock was it?

Right big 'un.

Is that it?

I think it must be, lad. It knows you.

If I hadn't got a face like that our clock hadn't.

Not about that.

That face is growing on it, with living here.

That's our clock is it mended?

Well, it might be and then again, it might not.

Oh dear, you're out of luck lad.

Here you are, well never mind.

Clock looks all right.

You keep this door shut, see?

Here.

Well, don't make any charge for it

and tell your father he ought to stop at

home in little tappit street with a clock like that.

Here you are.

Go straight home with it

and don't go playing about the streets and get into mischief

and mind them works don't come out again

or else it won't go.

Isn't going now.

Well, you keep on walking.

Then it'll go.

Artificial silk and cotton?

With our machinery?

But who is he?

Upton?

That sir William upton?

Oh! But we must find him.

Yes, if he's in Manchester, I'll get hold of him all right.

I'll have him down looking at the mill

before he knows what he's doing.

Now don't you worry, dad.

Yes, it's quiet down here.

You may be best baritone in greyback, Hezekiah

but I've never seen anybody so clumsy

and gormless with their hands.

If you're carrying your head, you'd drop it.

I've always been like that and always will be.

Oh! Well, come on then and don't drop owt else.

There's a light on.

What if your wife's back from blackpool?

She'll not be back.

If she is

I'm off home sharp, she don't like me.

She don't like folks enjoying themselves.

When you're poorly, you couldn't ask for a better wife.

She likes folk to be poorly.

Yeah, but I don't feel poorly.

Hey, it's only our Gracie.

Shall we cheer her up a bit.

All right, let's have a bit of a do.

Where have you two been?

We've been to mucckleberry to see dogs

and picked the win in't third race.

Go on, take them parcels from Hezekiah before he drops them.

What's this?

Tripe?

I don't know why it is you chaps

as soon as you've had a few drinks

you always start buying tripe.

As you'd think some of them tripe merchants

can't have ever seen a sober customer.

I hear that mill's closed down.

Oh! You've heard right.

What am I gonna do?

Don't you worry, love, leave it to me.

I'll think of something for you.

All right, trust your uncle murgatroyd, grace.

I might trust him but will the landlord and

shopkeepers trust him?

Well, haven't I been a shopkeeper here myself.

Well known and respected in town.

You've been well-known.

I don't know what's up with them tonight.

You know it's been at it every 10 minutes.

I'll settle them.

Can I do owt?

Custards and all, I call this a bit of a do.

Well, I'm entitled to one.

I think your aunt Alice is stopping tonight at blackpool,

thank god.

Greyback.

Goodnight, goodnight.

I know my husband and our grace should be in bed by now.

Hurry along, madam, please.

Unlike some poor kind not allowed to get to bed early

and have a bit of peace.

Hurry along, please.

Goodnight.

I'll sing chorus like old John Thomas at kings arms.

Go on, play on.

J I stand in a land of roses j

j but I dream of a land of snow j

j when you and I will appear j

j in the days of long ago j

j a nightingales in the branches j

j a nightingales stars in the magic skies j

j I can only hear your singing j

j I only see your eyes j

j speak speak speak to the horror j&

j speak to me once again j

j child of my dreams j

j light up my life j

goodnight all.

I didn't think you'd be coming back tonight.

So I see.

We were just...

I know what you're doing

and I might have known you would

the minute my back's turned.

And you ought to have more sense.

We were doing no harm.

You're doing no good.

Besides, you got to get up at morning, ain't you?

No, I haven't.

Mills closed down.

We're all out.

Oh! So that's it, is it?

Well, this is a nice time to be sitting up eating

and drinking and makking a din.

Another one in the house doing nowt now.

Well, I can't help it, can 1?

Anyway, don't worry.

I'll soon find something to do.

Where?

I don't know give us a chance.

If I didn't know you're talking for talking sake,

I'll tell you could find a job at morning.

In blackpool.

Blackpool?

Mrs. clotty she keeps a boarding house

two doors from my friend

and she's right pull up, one of her helps is leaving.

She can have me.

Well, it's hard work.

Give us her address, I'll be off at morning.

Hey, what train.

I'm not going by train.

I'm gonna save money.

Hey, my friend.

Am I right for blackpool.

Aye, and you're right for morecombe,

heysham, fleetwood, southport, north pole, uncle Tom cobley

and all if you keep on long enough.

Don't talk so soft!

Is this right, the lime street?

Lime street?

Let me see.

Oh! Yes, second to the left,

third to the right, bear left again.

And it's the fourth on the right.

Keep straight on, take another right,

bear again to the left and second to the right.

Good afternoon.

Good afternoon.

Hello sir.

Do you know where lime street is?

In liverpool?

Oh! Don't be funny.

I mean lime street, blackpool.

Never heard of it.

All right, Sam.

Pick up your musket.

Yeah, you be careful.

Yeah, I like to be.

Hi.

Hello.

Oh! Peggy, coming up now.

That will do.

And another thing.

Don't give no back answers.

All right.

And no carrying on with the young fellows.

That's how the last one spoilt herself.

What do you take me for?

It's not what I take you for,

it's what they take you for.

You know what some of these young chaps is like.

I don't but I have a good idea.

And the old ones is worser.

Now you can just stop it up there,

wash up those things.

Has she taken you on then?

Yes.

I'll bet you never stick it.

I bet I do.

Well, you can always give your notice.

I can't.

Are you Mr. clotty?

That's me.

Is glad short for Gladys?

No, gladiola.

My mother saw some before I was born.

Have you got a young man?

If you want to know, no.

Have you?

I've got five.

I bet all five put together

wouldn't make one good one.

Which of these film stars do you like, grace?

I don't like any of them this time of night.

What time do I have to get up in the morning?

Six o'clock.

Changeover day tomorrow.

Changeover day?

One of the board is trying to get in,

the other lot trying to get out.

Sounds like cooked fat and all.

Come on, hurry up and put that light out

and take Clark gable with you.

I'm going to sleep.

Goodnight.

Well, well, well, here we are again.

Mrs. clotty!

Mrs. clotty?

Where are you?

Mr. Parkinson.

Hello.

How are you?

You big bad wolf you.

That's right.

There's a lot of noise going on upstairs.

I know better no with it than all.

Now, hustle your back a bit.

Mr. Parkinson's come.

Who is this Mr. Parkinson?

He comes here nearly every year.

He's very well off it, Mr. Parkinson.

What is he?

I'll tell you what he is.

He's a nuisance.

I wish that Mr. Parkinson would stop slapping me.

He got such a heavy hand.

He better keep his hands off me.

Hello, aggie.

You haven't said how do you do to me yet.

You do that again

and I'll say more than how do you do to you

and don't aggie me either.

Come on.

I like a girl who likes a bit of fun.

Well, you go and find one then.

Dinner's ready.

Save a space for me, won't you, Charlie?

How's grace this morning?

You go and eat your rice pudding.

I believe my beds damp.

I haven't been long enough in mine to find out.

Sauce.

It's on the table.

Can I have some mint sauce?

And can I have some salt?

And can I have a bit of red?

I'm sick of your can I's

Don't do that.

Now ['ve told you.

That's very funny, isn't it?

And so is this.

I never heard of such a thing in all my life.

You go in the morning.

Well, he asked for it and he got it.

It was that big dish of rhubarb, weren't it?

Yes.

You got the lot.

That's best bit of news that's come down here

since 1928.

Name?

Grace platt.

Girl assist is wanted at the crunchy wunchy toffee.

Wages twelve shillings and commission.

Must have good appearance and wear fancy costume.

That sounds all right.

I'll risk it.

What do you call it?

Crunchy wunchy.

Crunchy wunchy.

That sounds easy weasy.

Where do I go?

You don't have to apply until the end of next week

and that's all we've got.

Thank you.

Hey, you ought to go in for our Bonnie bathing belle

competition.

My daughter's in for it.

Oh! She anything like you?

So they tell me.

I'm going in for that.

Can I have an entry form please?

One for me too.

Are you going in for this competition?

Yes, are you?

I was but I don't think I bother now.

Why?

Well, if you're going in for it,

I'm not gonna waste my time.

The prize is yours.

Well, I don't know.

I do.

What's your name?

Phyllis Logan.

You don't come from round here?

No, I'm from London.

I don't suppose you know of any cheap lodgings?

Yes I do.

The girl who was sharing rooms with me left last week.

I couldn't take her place, could I?

My name is grace platt.

Well, let's try.

Shall we go along and talk to my landlady?

She's a fortune teller.

A fortune teller?

I hope she would be able to have a go at my future.

It looks like Manchester on a wet Monday afternoon.

You go on upstairs, I won't be a moment.

All right.

Will you please enter?

Sit down please.

Oh! But I haven't come here to...

Your astral form is already visible to me.

I can see the colours of your spectrum.

Pale blue predominates.

You have a very sensitive nature.

Money and power are coming to you.

Money and power are on their way.

She hasn't come to have her fortune told.

I want to you to let us share my room.

Why the devil didn't you say so?

You got any money?

Well, it's on its way you've just told me.

I didn't say how far it had to come, did I?

Oh! Do let her just to please me.

Tell me all about yourself.

Well.

Do you mind if I shift this 'ere jam jar?

My mill... you worked in a mill?

Yes.

Well, I haven't always done this sort of thing, no.

When I was a little girl, I worked in a mill

and I remember...

Oh! He was a devil of a man.

No good in him at all.

How many eggs are you putting in there?

- Two. - You've put five in already.

Nevermind, dear.

I like it rich.

Where is he now?

God knows.

And look at me.

Here I am, a nice little business here.

A nice little home of my own and no worries.

Can you tell fortunes with tea leaves?

I could if I wanted to but I don't.

Tea leaves is low, thought nothing of in the profession.

Where the devil is the baking powder?

How is this clairvoyance done?

Through radiations, dear.

We're sensitive to radiation, personal magnetism

and the colours of the astral spectrum.

I see.

Of course, you know, you can guess a lot

when you've been as long on the job as I have.

Yes.

But still, I'm very clever at character reading.

Take you for instance.

That's right, take me.

Reading you, I see you are very sensitive. You feel things

more than people think you do.

You're inclined to trust people too much.

You are shyer than people think you are.

People round about you don't understand you, am I right?

You've got me exactly.

How do you know?

Oh! Bless your sunny heart.

I say that to everybody.

And they all ask me how I know.

Human nature, that is.

Good morning.

By gum, you aren't half grand in here, aren't you?

All came out of the theatre, deary.

We used to be in the profession.

This bed from a royal divorce.

Not tonight.

Here is your tea.

Thank you, deary.

I don't feel so well today.

What's the matter?

Asthma.

Asthma's coming on again.

You got any customers coming?

Don't say customers, clients, dear, clients.

If I don't feel better, I'd have to stay in bed today

and you must tell them I can't see them.

I don't like turning customers away.

Clients.

And anyhow, it can't be helped.

No, I suppose not.

I wonder if I could...

Money and power are on the way.

Also a great affection and the love of a strong man.

I was quite carried away.

That'll be half a crown, please.

Well, you've got a wonderful gift.

Enter please.

I'd like my fortune told.

Oh! You would, would you?

I see a lot of boots.

I can't see anything but big boots.

There's a lot of blue about.

Chaps here with big boots and soft stupid faces,

like policemen.

Yeah, that'll do.

What I want to know is the future.

Do you tell the future?

Yes.

I'll tell you your future.

Right.

Do you mind if I take down what you're going to say?

No, you do.

Now, this is your future.

You're going down them steps back to the police station

and your going to tell your inspector there's nothing doing.

And then you're going to put your uniform on again

and stand at street corners panting yourself

and being funny to folks that ask you civil questions.

Hey, I've heard your voice before.

You're not madam wotsit.

Nevermind who I am.

You just pop off before you get yourself into trouble.

You're who I think you are.

I'll very soon get you into trouble.

It'll take a better man than you to get me into trouble.

What am I saying?

Go on outside, sharp.

Madam, can I see you a minute?

Oh! Enough said.

You'll hear from me later.

Good afternoon.

Oh! Can I see you a minute?

Your astral form is very visible to me it's bright red

I feel the radiation is coming through to me at once.

- Well, go on... - You are very sensitive.

You feel things more than people think you do.

Of course I do.

Silly blighters.

Oh! I see you're having a quarrel.

That's right.

With a man, a young man.

Yes, that's him.

Gets me up here, plugging those songs of theirs

on the damn promenade from early morning to late at night

and then treats me as if I was something

you'd picked up on the end of a pier.

I see a piano, a platform.

A lot of people sitting and standing.

I hear you singing.

That's right.

That's right.

If you look hard enough,

you will see a flat footed fish face,

sweating, blightical puggy Pearson,

sitting at the piano

but you won't see me there anymore.

Put some people start to do their own song plugging.

You were doing quite right.

You let shingles town and wingles town

look after themselves.

The people about you do not understand you.

Of course they don't.

Money and power are on their way.

Money and power and the love of a strong man.

Is what's his name?

Pluggy Pearson, the strong man?

Strong?

He couldn't even shave himself.

Oh! It's not him.

It's somebody else.

Don't you worry.

Well, yeah, I'm not worried.

You think I care about what's some fingers done?

Not likely.

I can do without them all right.

Of course you can.

What's the name?

Ritz and fingelstein

Sing?

Of course I can sing.

I wouldn't be applying for the job if I couldn't.

It beats me how you knew we wanted somebody.

Perhaps she didn't.

Yeah, give me a trial that's fair enough, isn't it?

Can you read music?

Of course I can.

Violet couldn't yes, we know that.

But this is a new number I want to put over here.

See what you can make of it, will you?

J just a catchy little tune j

j not a word about the moonlight j

j I'm up singing across the melody j

J I'm just as happy as I could be j

now, ladies and gentlemen.

On behalf of Mr. ritz and finglestein,

the premier British song publishers,

I have much pleasure in presenting to you today,

both a new song and a new singer.

All right, tiny, let's go.

J rolling down the lake one summer morning j

j I had this catchy little thing j&

j now when I go strolling in the morning &

j as I go by you hear me sing j

I'm looking for sir William upton.

Sir William upton?

He's been here and then gone out, sir.

Thanks.

J everything is nice when I sing my song j

j now we're about the green light &

j I have been jumping at the beat j

j as the world goes by j

J walking across the moonlight j

j I'm just as happy as I could be j

j when I sing my song j

come on, to take off.

Excuse me, but you could see better from here.

Well, it doesn't matter.

I was wondering if that's a friend of mine singing.

Oh! Happens to be a friend of mine, grace platt.

She's a friend of mine too.

We're both friends of grace's.

Well, here we are.

J I sing by everything you like j

j that's in my song j

and now ladies and gentlemen,

I have very great pleasure in presenting to you,

another of our new number.

Hey, sing it again, love.

Hey, come on, lad.

You'll have to let them have it again.

I've sung it 50 times already.

J just a catchy little tune j

come on, everybody sing it.

J just a catchy little tune j

j walking ready by the moonlight j

j I have this happy melody j

j and a song by heart j

j just a catchy little tune j

j not worried about the June light j

j I'm just as happy as could be j

j when I sing my song j

j it's my hope it's my gasoline j

J what a happy melody to walk by j

j I feel that everything could dance j

j when I sing my song j

I say,

you would happen to do a bit of singing for you, would you?

You'll soon get used to that.

Well, have I got the job.

Certainly.

Not.

I'm awfully sorry, pluggy.

That's all right, kid.

I've been an awful fool.

Yeah, so have I.

Goodbye, sweetheart.

I'd like to tell you what I think about you

but you haven't left me any voice to do it with.

You say you can see people in that crystal.

Certainly I can.

Then why can't you see grace?

And tell us what she's doing?

For three days she's gone out in the morning

and not come back 'til late at night.

She's obviously got some job.

What is it?

I don't know.

Intuition has failed, no radiation.

There's a dark curtain between me and grace.

You better lift it then.

You're not looking hard enough with the crystal.

Well, go away you two and I'll try it again.

When we come back, we'll expect to hear all about grace.

Where are you off to this time?

I'm taking Phyllis down to the pleasure beach.

Mind you behave yourselves.

I know all you're doing and thinking

at that damn pleasure beach.

Go on the pair of you.

You better park here, Johnson.

Right, sir William.

I'll take a stroll to the pleasure beach,

haven't seen one of these things for years.

That's the sort of car I'd like to have.

I'm afraid the only one I can offer just now

is the one that goes down the big Dipper

or whatever they call it.

I'm having that competition on Saturday.

I can get a jolly nice little car with a 100 pounds.

What competition?

What? Didn't I tell you?

There's a bathing beauty parade on Saturday afternoon,

I've entered.

In swimming costume, I suppose.

Of course.

Any objection?

I'm surprised, that's all.

What are you surprised about?

Well, if you must know, I'm surprised a girl like you

letting yourself in for a thing like that.

A thing like what?

You know what I mean.

I don't.

You better tell me.

Making a show of yourself,

parading about in a bathing costume to say that.

Don't be so beastly.

And anyhow, it's my business.

Oh! Sure you don't understand.

Of course I do.

Who do you think you are?

I thought I was a friend of yours.

So did I.

Amazing place, this.

Is it?

What's this thing called?

The cuddle up.

Sounds very vulgar.

I think it's amusing.

You would.

- Sorry. - Sorry.

Phyllis, don't let's quarrel.

I don't want to quarrel.

Hugh.

But say you're sorry.

Of course I am.

But you see if I hadn't been so terribly fond of you,

I wouldn't have made such a fuss.

You see, it'd be marvelous to win first prize, and grace says I will

and that reminds me about grace.

What about grace?

How many of us are you terribly fond of?

One, you.

And where does grace come in?

She doesn't.

We're just friends.

Well, if that's it, I'm sorry.

Grace is a grand girl.

Of course she is.

A lot better than I am.

Not to me.

I've never met anyone quite like you.

Oh! Don't tell me.

Not here.

When and where can I tell you?

We'll see.

We gonna show you the greatest variety of illusions,

mysteries and marvels,

even offered here in blackpool.

Come and see the human spider.

The head of a girl, a living breathing speaking girl

but no body, people.

They're getting big money, folks.

But you can see them raising Cain in here this afternoon

for six pence.

Alright, I don't want anymore insults.

I'm trying to earn my living the same as what you've never done.

29 genuine cowboys from the United States of America, usa.

Come see the vanishing girl.

You'll see her vanish. Crumble to nothing, people

before your very eyes.

Can they shoot?

All day they can shoot.

What is the vanishing girl?

The wildest bucking bronc on the plain.

Say these boys can knock the pip out of a Ace of diamonds

at 20 paces.

Using no wires and no trap doors.

Now people, get this into your head.

All made a solid wood.

Remember people, the most spectacular illusion

ever presented on this or any other pleasure beach, people.

Introducing to your notice but bright master and sir.

What about the human spider and the vanishing girl?

I loathe spiders but I'll risk it.

Ladies and gentlemen.

One of the most baffling mysteries

known to the modern world,

my illusion, the human spider.

Yay! How do they do these things, Jim?

Easy.

All electricity.

Ladies and gentlemen,

the human spider.

And now miss spider,

can you hear me?

Yes.

It's grace.

And how are you today?

Oh! I'm all right.

Hey, that's a lancashire spider.

All right, clever head.

That will do.

That will do yourself.

And that, ladies and gentlemen,

is the human spider.

Ladies and gentlemen,

before showing you my famous vanishing girl illusion,

I will endeavour to entertain you

with several feats of sleight of hand.

It was grace, wasn't it?

Some of her.

What have they done with the rest of her?

You know I was taken on here as a human spider,

now there's a vanishing girl as well.

Don't forget.

When you get out through the trap, out of the back,

you come running at the side door

and shout 'voila'

that's French so please give me a kind applause.

Easy.

If it's so easy, why don't you do it yourself?

Do I look like a vanishing girl?

And to conclude my whole entertainment,

we will now have my vanishing girl illusion.

I wish I was vanishing for good.

And now the performance will commence immediately.

Admission, six pence.

When I count three, the girl will completely disappear

and reappear in an entirely different position.

Are you there?

Yes.

One, two, three.

Voila, voila.

Stop her.

Stop that woman.

Oh! Thank goodness for a rest.

Where am I?

The ghost train, all the horror.

You saw her where?

Will you shut up.

I'm not talking to you.

You're all wet anyway.

What?

You again? You must think I'm balmy at something.

If you want to rest properly, my car is over there.

Thanks very much but.

Oh no! I'm quite respectable, I assure you.

My name's upton, sir William upton.

Sir William upton?

Have you anything to do with artificial silk?

Yes, why?

- Is that your car? - Yeah.

Come on, get into it quick I wanna talk to you.

You will tell me all about it as we go along.

Where to, sir?

Back to the labour exchange.

Blackpool's favourite toffee.

Crunchy wunchy, three pence and six pence a packet.

Hello, grace.

So this is your new job?

Yes, don't you look a devil.

Did you see sir William upton?

Yes, I'm going with him to Manchester this afternoon

to see what can be done.

I'm coming back tonight though.

I want to see Phyllis.

Well, no one's stopping you.

She might.

We had another row again last night.

I do wish you would explain things to her, grace.

What do you want me to do your courting for you now, lad?

Just this once.

Because we're friends.

It's going to be a new today, all right.

I see in papers they're having a competition

for prettiest lass with no clothes on.

Bonniest bathing belles.

My wife knew about that

called them daft little 'ussies

she told me we better keep our mind on stag hunting.

And come home sober this time.

Remember the first trip we ever with stag hunters?

Must be now 30 years since.

We came to blackpool that day and all.

We didn't, we went to morecambe.

No, gutsel, we came to blackpool.

Morecambe, I remember the bay.

How can you, when you're in blackpool?

I remember going to uncle Tom's cabin.

Got it bad, haven't you?

I know, but wait 'til you're in love and then you'll know.

Yes, then I'll know.

What's that?

I believe it's stag hunters.

My uncle murgatroyds lot.

By gum it is. That's my uncle murgatroyd

and Hezekiah crowther.

- Grace. - Grace.

See you later.

We're going to the winter gardens for a meeting.

Stag hunting.

And that's all I've got to say.

Brother stag hunters.

I beg to announce that brother higginbottom from padiham

has been duly elected as grand hunter-in-chief

for the coming year.

Give brother higginbottom the salute.

Brother higginbottom, chief stag hunter.

You got out, lad.

Well, that's that.

I'm still feeling a bit parched.

I could do you another.

Reminds me of the first trip party.

Well, here's to blackpool.

Morecambe.

Blackpool, for the last time I tell yee.

Blackpool.

He said he's coming back especially to see you tonight.

After what he said, I don't care whether I see him or not.

If I win that competition,

I'm gonna have a good time tonight.

Quarter please.

Quarter?

You know Phyllis, you're a nice little kid

but I'd just love to give you a good spanking

and I hope that's what he'll do one of these days.

And I tell yee, we're at blackpool

morecambe, I remember the bay.

We'll soon settle this.

Joe.

Where did stag hunters go first trip

as me and Hezekiah were on?

Do you remember?

Aye, southport.

Southport now, don't talk so soft.

Yeah, what about them Bonnie bathing belles?
