1
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:49,944
[Man Narrating] For some odd reason,
lost in the mists of time,
2
00:00:50,039 --> 00:00:53,612
there's an extraordinary
shortage of last names in Wales.
3
00:00:53,707 --> 00:00:57,985
Almost everyone seems to be
a Williams, a Jones or an Evans.
4
00:00:58,073 --> 00:01:00,383
To avoid widespread confusion,
5
00:01:00,473 --> 00:01:04,353
Welsh people often add
an occupation to a name.
6
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:07,284
For example, there was
Williams the Petroleum...
7
00:01:07,373 --> 00:01:09,944
- and Williams the Death.
- [Barking]
8
00:01:10,039 --> 00:01:14,488
There was Jones the Bottle
and Jones the Prize Cabbage,
9
00:01:14,573 --> 00:01:17,281
which described his hobby
and his personality.
10
00:01:17,373 --> 00:01:21,879
Evans the Bacon...
and Evans the End of the World.
11
00:01:21,973 --> 00:01:23,884
The Lord God tells us.
It's all in His book.
12
00:01:23,973 --> 00:01:26,078
But one man's name
was a puzzle.
13
00:01:26,173 --> 00:01:30,588
And it wasn't until I was ten years old
that I asked my grandfather...
14
00:01:30,673 --> 00:01:35,213
about the man with the longest
and most enigmatic name of all.
15
00:01:35,306 --> 00:01:39,448
The Englishman Who Went Up A Hill
But Came Down A Mountain?
16
00:01:39,540 --> 00:01:42,851
Now there's a long name for you,
and a long story.
17
00:01:46,906 --> 00:01:49,147
You are not going
to fidget, are you?
18
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:52,619
For this is a story--
an epic story.
19
00:01:52,707 --> 00:01:54,983
Yes, epic.
20
00:03:24,006 --> 00:03:26,213
[Horn Honking]
21
00:03:26,306 --> 00:03:29,219
[Grandfather] It must have
been 1917, on a Sunday,
22
00:03:29,306 --> 00:03:33,755
when two retired army officers
arrived in Ffynnon Garw.
23
00:03:33,839 --> 00:03:38,083
The younger man, Anson,
was just startin' to enjoy life,
24
00:03:38,173 --> 00:03:41,017
having recently left hospital
after service in France.
25
00:03:41,106 --> 00:03:45,350
However, his superior,
George Garrad,
26
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:47,647
had been retired
to the Ordnance Survey...
27
00:03:47,739 --> 00:03:50,686
in the hope that this would help
the morale of his troops,
28
00:03:50,772 --> 00:03:53,753
who'd been driven to drink
by his irksome personality.
29
00:04:03,772 --> 00:04:05,877
Many men had gone
to the Great War,
30
00:04:05,973 --> 00:04:08,749
and the rest of the village
was in chapel.
31
00:04:08,839 --> 00:04:11,547
All except Morgan the Goat,
of course.
32
00:04:11,639 --> 00:04:16,554
[Speaking Welsh]
33
00:04:16,639 --> 00:04:21,019
Oh, uh, excuse me.
Well, does anyone here speak English?
34
00:04:21,106 --> 00:04:24,280
[Mutters In Welsh]
Oh, English, are you?
35
00:04:24,373 --> 00:04:26,944
Huh? Huh. That would
explain everything.
36
00:04:27,039 --> 00:04:31,454
- Well, it's Sunday. They're all in chapel.
- We're just wondering if, um--
37
00:04:31,540 --> 00:04:34,419
Charming.
We'll press on, I think.
38
00:04:38,906 --> 00:04:42,115
- [Anson Groans]
- Well, do you want to come in or don't you?
39
00:04:44,806 --> 00:04:47,912
[Grandfather] As I said, the rest
of the village was in chapel,
40
00:04:48,006 --> 00:04:50,509
includin' mothers
with babies.
41
00:04:50,606 --> 00:04:55,316
Since the young men went to war, there
seemed to be a lot of ginger-haired babies.
42
00:04:55,406 --> 00:04:58,353
But in those hard times,
no one seemed to mind...
43
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:00,716
except Reverend Jones,
of course.
44
00:05:00,806 --> 00:05:05,084
Are all of the wicked men
just in Germany?
45
00:05:05,173 --> 00:05:08,245
Wouldn't that be nice
if all the wicked men...
46
00:05:08,340 --> 00:05:10,911
were on the battlefields
of France?
47
00:05:11,006 --> 00:05:14,112
[Grandfather] Oh, Reverend Jones
was in fine form that day.
48
00:05:14,206 --> 00:05:16,812
Nearly every Sunday
he preached against the war...
49
00:05:16,906 --> 00:05:19,614
and Morgan the Goat,
in that order,
50
00:05:19,706 --> 00:05:22,949
though he never mentioned
Morgan the Goat by name, of course.
51
00:05:23,039 --> 00:05:26,452
They are also among us here...
52
00:05:26,540 --> 00:05:30,044
in this very village.
53
00:05:30,139 --> 00:05:32,050
What's yours?
54
00:05:33,139 --> 00:05:35,676
Well, um,
that's very kind.
55
00:05:35,772 --> 00:05:38,685
I'll, uh, have
a pint of bitter, thank you.
56
00:05:40,106 --> 00:05:42,916
[Cock Crowing]
57
00:05:43,006 --> 00:05:44,952
[Woman] Morgan?
58
00:05:49,873 --> 00:05:53,218
Well, pleasant enough
sort of place, isn't it?
59
00:05:53,306 --> 00:05:56,185
I suppose so,
considering it's Wales.
60
00:05:58,139 --> 00:06:00,779
A valued guest.
A regular.
61
00:06:00,873 --> 00:06:04,013
Very particular.
Refined even.
62
00:06:06,206 --> 00:06:10,621
[Vehicle Approaching]
63
00:06:10,706 --> 00:06:13,778
- This is turning out to be quite a busy spot.
- [Horn Honking]
64
00:06:13,873 --> 00:06:16,444
[Footfalls On The Stairs]
65
00:06:16,539 --> 00:06:20,715
[Panting]
Now then. Oh.
66
00:06:20,806 --> 00:06:22,752
Oh, I hate the summer.
67
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:24,876
[Morgan] Ah, morning, Sergeant.
68
00:06:24,973 --> 00:06:28,045
Morning.
My name is Garrad. George Garrad.
69
00:06:28,139 --> 00:06:32,053
Uh, we're staying here
at the inn.
70
00:06:32,139 --> 00:06:35,382
I guessed that from your luggage.
English, are you?
71
00:06:35,473 --> 00:06:37,453
Looking for more coal,
I suppose.
72
00:06:37,539 --> 00:06:40,019
No.
Cartographer, actually.
73
00:06:40,106 --> 00:06:42,017
Yes, sort of surveyors,
if you like.
74
00:06:42,106 --> 00:06:44,177
We make maps. We're here
to measure the mountains.
75
00:06:44,273 --> 00:06:46,184
Very useful, I'm sure.
76
00:06:46,273 --> 00:06:48,879
I'll have you know it's
an important part of the war effort.
77
00:06:48,973 --> 00:06:50,884
One must know
one's terrain.
78
00:06:50,973 --> 00:06:53,283
[Morgan] You've come to the right
place with your measurings.
79
00:06:53,373 --> 00:06:57,412
There's some terrain. That's
a mountain. First mountain in Wales.
80
00:06:59,273 --> 00:07:01,719
- What's it called?
- [Together] Ffynnon Garw.
81
00:07:01,806 --> 00:07:04,582
[Garrad Laughs] Goodness gracious,
these Welsh names.
82
00:07:04,672 --> 00:07:07,380
Would you mind
saying that again?
83
00:07:07,472 --> 00:07:10,385
"Fuh-non Gar-rue," man.
It's simple. Listen.
84
00:07:10,472 --> 00:07:12,611
I'll write it down
for you now...
85
00:07:12,706 --> 00:07:14,686
so you can get it right
on your map doings.
86
00:07:14,772 --> 00:07:19,949
Thank you. Thank you very much. Of course, it
will only appear if it's over a thousand feet.
87
00:07:20,039 --> 00:07:22,747
Don't be twp, man.
That's well over a thousand.
88
00:07:22,839 --> 00:07:24,375
[Snickers]
89
00:07:24,472 --> 00:07:26,509
Now then.
90
00:07:31,073 --> 00:07:33,986
Oh, eh--
Excuse me.
91
00:07:34,073 --> 00:07:36,485
- I think--
- You ready for another?
92
00:07:36,572 --> 00:07:39,644
You can keep the change,
Mr. Morgan!
93
00:07:39,739 --> 00:07:43,050
Thank you, Miss Elizabeth.
Thank you very much.
94
00:07:43,139 --> 00:07:45,119
Ooh, that Morgan!
95
00:07:47,973 --> 00:07:51,352
Look, sorry.
Could I please have a pint of bitter?
96
00:07:51,439 --> 00:07:54,181
No need to get
all English about it.
97
00:08:08,206 --> 00:08:12,177
Hey, the English are in the pub, and they
say they come to measure the mountain.
98
00:08:12,273 --> 00:08:14,844
All this way
just to measure our mountain.
99
00:08:14,939 --> 00:08:17,510
Measuring it?
100
00:08:17,606 --> 00:08:21,110
Well, who needs to know
the height of a mountain, I ask.
101
00:08:24,273 --> 00:08:28,085
[Fly Buzzing]
102
00:08:31,373 --> 00:08:34,183
- Another drink, gentlemen?
- [Garrad] Ah-ha! No. No.
103
00:08:34,273 --> 00:08:37,186
- No, thank you. Most hospitable.
- Yes, no, no, thanks.
104
00:08:37,273 --> 00:08:39,583
- Anything else I can be getting you?
- No.
105
00:08:39,672 --> 00:08:43,415
All right then. I'll be taking the dog
for a walk. See you in the morning.
106
00:08:43,505 --> 00:08:46,042
Oh, there is one thing.
107
00:08:46,139 --> 00:08:50,212
I know it's hard to find staff in this time
of war, but we will require an assistant.
108
00:08:50,306 --> 00:08:52,411
Someone quite strong,
preferably.
109
00:08:52,505 --> 00:08:54,883
I think you will find that
His Majesty's Ordnance Survey...
110
00:08:54,973 --> 00:08:57,078
will provide
equitable remuneration.
111
00:08:58,672 --> 00:09:00,674
They'll pay,
but not very much.
112
00:09:00,772 --> 00:09:03,343
Oh.
113
00:09:03,439 --> 00:09:06,511
Well, those that aren't
in France are down the mines.
114
00:09:06,606 --> 00:09:09,280
- Of course, there's Johnny Shellshocked.
- Sorry. Who?
115
00:09:09,372 --> 00:09:12,285
Johnny Jones, back from the war.
Gone a little doodle-alley-tap.
116
00:09:12,372 --> 00:09:15,581
- He lives with his sister, poor thing. But strong.
- Oh, I see.
117
00:09:15,672 --> 00:09:18,016
As long as you don't
expect him to talk... or think.
118
00:09:18,106 --> 00:09:21,315
[Garrad] We will require
his services just as a porter.
119
00:09:21,405 --> 00:09:24,352
[Morgan] Oh, well.
Johnny should be able to manage that.
120
00:09:24,439 --> 00:09:28,353
- Perhaps we could meet him.
- Oh, absolutely. First thing in the morning.
121
00:09:30,939 --> 00:09:34,512
He seems to have rather
an impatient dog, wouldn't you say?
122
00:09:34,606 --> 00:09:37,348
[Chuckles]
Yeah.
123
00:09:59,539 --> 00:10:02,782
- [Morgan] Why not?
- Because he's not ready.
124
00:10:02,873 --> 00:10:05,183
All he has to do
is hold a pole straight.
125
00:10:05,273 --> 00:10:09,119
Don't be twp. No one gets paid
for just holdin' a pole.
126
00:10:09,206 --> 00:10:11,914
Unless you're Betty
from Cardiff.
127
00:10:12,006 --> 00:10:14,646
- Don't start that again.
- Megan said she saw her,
128
00:10:14,739 --> 00:10:17,549
all tarted up again
in the pub on Saturday.
129
00:10:17,639 --> 00:10:20,711
She's been advisin' me on
the refurbishment of my establishment.
130
00:10:20,806 --> 00:10:23,218
Refurbishin'
your establishment!
131
00:10:23,305 --> 00:10:25,876
I've never heard it
called that before.
132
00:10:34,973 --> 00:10:36,884
[Clapping Hands]
133
00:10:40,706 --> 00:10:42,617
Mornin', Johnny.
134
00:10:44,372 --> 00:10:48,320
I got some English stayin' at the pub.
Makin' maps, daft buggers.
135
00:10:48,405 --> 00:10:51,352
[Chuckling]
They need help, of course.
136
00:10:51,439 --> 00:10:54,079
Someone to carry
what they can't or won't.
137
00:10:54,173 --> 00:10:56,653
There's money.
138
00:10:56,739 --> 00:10:59,117
So should I tell them
you're interested?
139
00:11:02,173 --> 00:11:06,019
Well, uh, come along
to the pub later, all right?
140
00:11:07,372 --> 00:11:10,717
Ah! Good mornin',
Reverend Jones.
141
00:11:10,806 --> 00:11:14,310
I see God's in His heaven
and all's well with the world.
142
00:11:14,405 --> 00:11:16,942
- Have you no shame?
- No!
143
00:11:19,873 --> 00:11:22,479
I can't think where I've left it.
[Chuckles]
144
00:11:40,873 --> 00:11:44,753
[Reverend Jones] When does a hill
become a mountain?
145
00:11:45,139 --> 00:11:47,176
I think it must be a comparative term.
I mean,
146
00:11:47,239 --> 00:11:49,742
you take the Himalayas
of India.
147
00:11:49,839 --> 00:11:54,015
There they have mountains of 10,000 feet which
are referred to, I believe, as foothills.
148
00:11:54,106 --> 00:11:56,882
But take our mountain.
That isn't a foothill!
149
00:11:56,973 --> 00:12:00,682
Well, again, placed in the Alps, it
wouldn't even be considered a hillock.
150
00:12:00,772 --> 00:12:05,243
- But it isn't in the Alps! It's here! Here in Wales!
- Oh, quite.
151
00:12:05,339 --> 00:12:10,687
So who-- who decides
on British maps?
152
00:12:13,339 --> 00:12:17,151
Mr. Davies,
now this in confidence.
153
00:12:18,572 --> 00:12:20,677
- They're saying--
- What, the English?
154
00:12:20,772 --> 00:12:26,313
Yes! They're saying that
it must be over 1,000 feet.
155
00:12:26,405 --> 00:12:30,547
Really! I'd imagined
5,000 was the standard.
156
00:12:30,639 --> 00:12:32,812
But how high is Ffynnon Garw?
157
00:12:32,906 --> 00:12:35,648
Is it over a thousand?
Over two thousand?
158
00:12:35,739 --> 00:12:38,686
A thousand? I'd always imagined
it was a few hundred.
159
00:12:42,073 --> 00:12:46,283
Oh, dear. Oh, and I thought
you were an educated man.
160
00:12:46,372 --> 00:12:48,318
Oh, dear.
Oh, dear.
161
00:12:49,606 --> 00:12:51,916
[Grandfather] The first mountain
in Wales.
162
00:12:52,006 --> 00:12:56,477
Yes, it is something we have
boasted about since time immemorial.
163
00:12:56,572 --> 00:12:59,610
We didn't have the biggest mountains
of the North...
164
00:12:59,706 --> 00:13:02,687
nor the beautiful mountains

taken the mountains from us.

No, th-th-the thing is, Mr. Morgan, we haven't
really measured, um, your mountain yet.

But Her Majesty's
Ordnance Survey of 1887...

And, and, and, um,
given those measurements,

- Ahem. Ahem!
328
00:24:20,738 --> 00:24:22,649
[Chattering Stops]
329
00:24:28,138 --> 00:24:30,209
Oh. Evening.
330
00:24:33,605 --> 00:24:36,916
- Well, Mr. Morgan, with your permission.
- Mm-hmm.
331
00:24:37,005 --> 00:24:40,578
Gentlemen. Um, we have now...
[Bumps Head, Chuckles]
332
00:24:40,671 --> 00:24:43,277
Completed the,
uh, survey of, um,
333
00:24:43,372 --> 00:24:45,613
[Mispronouncing]
Ffynnon Garw...
334
00:24:45,705 --> 00:24:48,914
and, um, I have to inform you
that it is...
335
00:24:49,005 --> 00:24:51,451
984 feet.
336
00:24:51,538 --> 00:24:53,916
- What?
- [Men Exclaiming]
337
00:24:54,005 --> 00:24:57,885
Now I-I-I realize that this
may be a disappointment to you,
338
00:24:57,972 --> 00:25:01,351
um, but I would ask you to remember
that it is just a measurement...
339
00:25:01,438 --> 00:25:06,751
and in no way should detract from the
beauty of, or indeed your affection for,
340
00:25:06,838 --> 00:25:09,819
this, uh, uh--
341
00:25:09,905 --> 00:25:12,078
[Stammering]
342
00:25:15,239 --> 00:25:17,719
H-Hill.
Thank you.
343
00:25:21,239 --> 00:25:23,241
- Hill?
- [Men Chattering]
344
00:25:25,905 --> 00:25:28,215
A result?
Tell me. Do they have a result?
345
00:25:28,305 --> 00:25:31,286
It's a... hill.
346
00:25:35,438 --> 00:25:37,349
[Whispering]
A hill.
347
00:25:39,571 --> 00:25:41,482
Ohh.
348
00:25:45,671 --> 00:25:48,811
Perhaps it would have been different
if there hadn't been a war,
349
00:25:48,905 --> 00:25:53,820
but this was 1917, and
people were exhausted by loss.
350
00:25:55,471 --> 00:25:57,815
Those that were allowed to stay
manned the pits,
351
00:25:57,905 --> 00:26:00,351
mining the coal
that would fuel the ships.
352
00:26:00,438 --> 00:26:03,442
Twenty-four hours a day
they labored.
353
00:26:03,538 --> 00:26:07,145
Corners were cut.
Coal was hacked hastily,
354
00:26:07,239 --> 00:26:11,312
and those who survived
the trenches died for the coal.
355
00:26:13,305 --> 00:26:15,216
It was a sad time.
356
00:26:15,305 --> 00:26:18,343
Our friends had been taken,
our sons, our husbands.
357
00:26:18,438 --> 00:26:22,511
A once-close community
was slowly bein' destroyed.
358
00:26:22,605 --> 00:26:27,076
How could we face those who survived
if they returned to find no mountain?
359
00:26:27,172 --> 00:26:31,712
While they had fought the Germans, we
had lost the mountain to the English?
360
00:26:31,805 --> 00:26:35,947
Our village had been ruined, and now
they were takin' our mountain...
361
00:26:36,038 --> 00:26:38,075
and our Welshness.
362
00:26:44,504 --> 00:26:47,849
- Meeting in the village hall.
- Meeting in the village hall!
363
00:26:47,938 --> 00:26:50,043
Meeting in
the village hall!
364
00:26:50,138 --> 00:26:53,347
[Panting]
Reverend Jones...
365
00:26:53,438 --> 00:26:55,349
is assembling a meeting
in the village hall.
366
00:26:55,438 --> 00:26:58,647
- Now!
- What does that old coot think he's gonna do?
367
00:26:58,738 --> 00:27:02,208
- Raise the mountain?
- He's gonna organize an official complaint.
368
00:27:02,304 --> 00:27:05,183
Come on, boys.
Were you comin'?
369
00:27:05,271 --> 00:27:08,115
A complaint?
370
00:27:08,205 --> 00:27:10,310
[Townspeople Chattering]
371
00:27:15,705 --> 00:27:18,914
Thank you, thank you,
thank you.
372
00:27:19,005 --> 00:27:23,044
Look, I propose
a petition...
373
00:27:23,138 --> 00:27:26,779
demanding the inclusion
of Ffynnon Garw...
374
00:27:26,872 --> 00:27:30,445
as the first mountain
in Wales,
375
00:27:30,538 --> 00:27:35,351
to be included on all
of His Majesty's maps.
376
00:27:42,605 --> 00:27:47,076
And who's gonna read this petition?
Huh? Who's going to agree?
377
00:27:47,172 --> 00:27:50,415
- I don't think I need any advice from you, Mr. Morgan.
- I haven't finished.
378
00:27:50,938 --> 00:27:52,747
I haven't finished yet.
379
00:27:52,771 --> 00:27:56,275
I don't want Ffynnon Garw
to be on the map...
380
00:27:56,371 --> 00:28:00,080
because we begged for it,
because we-- we pleaded.
381
00:28:00,172 --> 00:28:03,619
No! If Ffynnon Garw
has to be a thousand feet,
382
00:28:03,705 --> 00:28:06,015
then I say
let it be a thousand feet!
383
00:28:06,105 --> 00:28:09,678
Twenty feet!
That's all we need!
384
00:28:09,771 --> 00:28:12,513
A 20-foot tump
and we have our mountain.
385
00:28:12,605 --> 00:28:16,280
- I'm not sure how legal that is.
- Yes. Or ethical.
386
00:28:16,371 --> 00:28:18,282
"Legal"? "Ethical"?
387
00:28:18,371 --> 00:28:22,285
How legal was it to say that
a thousand feet is a mountain...
388
00:28:22,371 --> 00:28:24,851
and 984 isn't, huh?
389
00:28:24,938 --> 00:28:30,251
Do we call a short man a boy
or, or, or a small dog a cat?
390
00:28:30,338 --> 00:28:32,841
- [Laughing]
- No!
391
00:28:32,938 --> 00:28:35,817
This is a mountain--
our mountain--
392
00:28:35,905 --> 00:28:40,376
and if it needs to be a thousand feet, then
by God, let's make it a thousand feet.
393
00:28:40,471 --> 00:28:43,008
I would prefer it,
Mr. Morgan,
394
00:28:43,105 --> 00:28:46,245
if you did not take
the Lord's name in vain.
395
00:28:46,338 --> 00:28:48,340
Ye-Yes, Ivor, go on.
Have a go.
396
00:28:49,671 --> 00:28:54,313
- Uh... Morgan the Goat--
- [Townspeople Laughing]
397
00:28:56,138 --> 00:28:58,709
Sorry, Morgan.
398
00:28:58,805 --> 00:29:02,048
Morgan has a point.
399
00:29:02,137 --> 00:29:06,779
I have visited mountains that are topped
by ancient burial chambers,
400
00:29:06,872 --> 00:29:11,014
and it is that full height
which is measured.
401
00:29:11,105 --> 00:29:15,884
I see nothing wrong with
adding to Ffynnon Garw.
402
00:29:15,972 --> 00:29:18,213
- [Townspeople Murmuring]
- In Rhondda Fawr,
403
00:29:18,304 --> 00:29:22,013
there's a huge coal tip above
the village, and that's on the maps.
404
00:29:22,105 --> 00:29:25,109
[People Murmuring]
405
00:29:25,204 --> 00:29:29,448
Am I the only one that thinks
this smacks of sharp practice--
406
00:29:29,538 --> 00:29:31,449
of cheating?
407
00:29:31,538 --> 00:29:35,850
What do we do? Lower one part
of Ffynnon Garw to raise another?
408
00:29:35,938 --> 00:29:38,942
Take it from your garden if
it makes you feel better.
409
00:29:39,038 --> 00:29:42,645
Yes! Yes! It would
make me feel better.
410
00:29:42,738 --> 00:29:44,684
I would be happier...
411
00:29:44,771 --> 00:29:49,049
if the mountain was raised
by toil, by sweat,
412
00:29:49,137 --> 00:29:51,447
by work,
by sacrifice.
413
00:29:51,538 --> 00:29:55,884
Yes! Take the earth
from our own gardens.
414
00:29:55,972 --> 00:30:00,182
- That would make me feel better.
- You're just making it impossible.
415
00:30:00,271 --> 00:30:02,842
No, Mr. Morgan,
I am not!
416
00:30:02,938 --> 00:30:04,849
Oh, that man.
417
00:30:10,605 --> 00:30:12,516
J-Johnny.
418
00:30:20,838 --> 00:30:23,011
- Well, this is--
- No, listen. [Muttering]
419
00:30:25,738 --> 00:30:28,116
In France--
420
00:30:28,204 --> 00:30:31,583
In France, we dug trenches
ten miles long.
421
00:30:34,104 --> 00:30:37,483
We took earth from here
and built hills there.
422
00:30:37,571 --> 00:30:41,018
We moved fields.
You wouldn't believe what we did.
423
00:30:47,071 --> 00:30:49,745
It's possible.
It's just hard work.
424
00:30:49,838 --> 00:30:51,749
I'll help.
425
00:30:54,438 --> 00:30:57,044
[Grandfather] And that's how
it all started.
426
00:30:57,137 --> 00:31:01,483
The Reverend had an idea, but Morgan had a
better one, which the Reverend altered...
427
00:31:01,571 --> 00:31:04,142
and Johnny believed possible.
428
00:31:04,238 --> 00:31:07,378
Of course, it didn't change the fact
that Morgan the Goat...
429
00:31:07,471 --> 00:31:09,382
wouldn't talk
to Reverend Jones...
430
00:31:09,471 --> 00:31:12,611
and Reverend Jones
wouldn't talk to Morgan the Goat.
431
00:31:12,705 --> 00:31:15,584
And Johnny could rarely
talk to anyone.
432
00:31:18,671 --> 00:31:21,515
[Knocking]
433
00:31:23,605 --> 00:31:25,243
Sergeant.
434
00:31:25,338 --> 00:31:27,716
- Gentlemen.
- Mr. Anson.
435
00:31:27,805 --> 00:31:31,651
On behalf of the village, we would like
to convince you to persuade Mr. Garrad...
436
00:31:31,738 --> 00:31:35,413
to stay longer and
measure the mountain again.
437
00:31:35,504 --> 00:31:40,078
Again? Well, I-I'm sorry, but I think
today's reading was accurate.
438
00:31:40,171 --> 00:31:43,812
We're going to add
20 feet.
439
00:31:43,905 --> 00:31:47,114
- [Anson] What do you mean add 20 feet?
- 'Tis legal, isn't it?
440
00:31:47,204 --> 00:31:51,346
Heights of other mountains
sometimes include burial mounds.
441
00:31:51,438 --> 00:31:54,442
- Even coal tips.
- Aye!
- Uh, well, now that is true--
442
00:31:54,538 --> 00:31:57,178
that permanent features
are sometimes allowed, but, uh--
443
00:31:57,271 --> 00:31:59,774
Good.
Twenty feet it is then.
444
00:31:59,872 --> 00:32:02,546
We can't possibly wait
while you, uh,
445
00:32:05,071 --> 00:32:06,982
add 20-- 20 feet.
446
00:32:07,071 --> 00:32:10,075
- I mean, how are you going to do this?
- Never you mind.
447
00:32:10,171 --> 00:32:13,152
We'll manage. You just
convince Mr. Garrad.
448
00:32:13,238 --> 00:32:16,583
[Stammering] Uh, n-no, I know
I'd be wasting my breath.
449
00:32:16,671 --> 00:32:20,278
We have a very tight schedule, and, um,
Mr. Garrad's very eager to get on.
450
00:32:20,371 --> 00:32:24,114
- All we're asking--
- No, it's very late, so if you don't mind,
451
00:32:24,204 --> 00:32:26,115
we will be leaving
first thing in the morning.
452
00:32:26,204 --> 00:32:28,184
Thank you.
453
00:32:31,538 --> 00:32:35,611
- Aye, it's a damn shame, man.
- Don't worry. They're not goin' anywhere.
454
00:32:35,705 --> 00:32:38,686
Sorry, Morgan?
I missed that.
455
00:32:38,771 --> 00:32:41,251
I must be goin' deaf
in this ear, man.
456
00:32:41,338 --> 00:32:44,251
- I said good night, Sergeant.
- Aye, aye.
457
00:32:44,338 --> 00:32:46,249
Good night now.
458
00:32:47,404 --> 00:32:49,748
- Morgan?
- I need two pounds of sugar.
459
00:32:49,838 --> 00:32:52,045
- [Loudly] Two pounds!
- Shh!
460
00:32:52,137 --> 00:32:55,175
- [Whispering] It's rationed.
- I know it's rationed.
461
00:32:55,271 --> 00:32:58,616
Come on, Ivor.
This is a national emergency.
462
00:32:58,705 --> 00:33:01,686
Yes, but...
two pounds?
463
00:33:01,771 --> 00:33:05,685
I don't want to have to tell people
that it failed because of you, Ivor.
464
00:33:12,705 --> 00:33:14,946
So, are they stayin'?
465
00:33:15,037 --> 00:33:18,712
Oh, I, uh, I think
I won them over, my love.
466
00:33:18,805 --> 00:33:20,716
I think I won them over.
467
00:33:24,338 --> 00:33:26,579
For God's sake, Anson,
crank harder.
468
00:33:26,671 --> 00:33:29,880
I am doing my very best.
Perhaps you'd like to have a try.
469
00:33:29,971 --> 00:33:32,281
I'd hate for you to have to
exert yourself a little bit.
470
00:33:32,371 --> 00:33:34,282
- [Backfire]
- What did you say?
471
00:33:37,204 --> 00:33:39,115
Trouble, gentlemen?
472
00:33:40,204 --> 00:33:42,741
Uh, yes.
I'm afraid so.
473
00:33:42,838 --> 00:33:45,512
Oh. Dear, oh, dear,
oh, dear.
474
00:33:45,605 --> 00:33:47,949
[Anson] Uh, Mr. Morgan.
By the way,
475
00:33:48,037 --> 00:33:51,484
I was wondering: What happened
to the, uh, the flagpole?
476
00:33:52,571 --> 00:33:54,573
Dry rot.
477
00:33:54,671 --> 00:33:58,585
Dry rot?
In Wales?
478
00:34:10,605 --> 00:34:14,951
- That looks more than 20 foot, man.
- Oh, it's 20.
479
00:34:15,037 --> 00:34:20,680
- Bloody hell. We're gonna need a
lot of earth to cover that.
- Aye.
480
00:34:22,071 --> 00:34:25,382
- [Knocking]
- It is not 9:00--
481
00:34:25,471 --> 00:34:29,419
- Good morning.
- Reverend Jones.
482
00:34:30,504 --> 00:34:33,451
Uh, am I disturbing you?
483
00:34:33,538 --> 00:34:36,883
I thought you were
one of the children.
484
00:34:36,971 --> 00:34:38,882
[Laughing]
Oh.
485
00:34:38,971 --> 00:34:41,315
Ah.
486
00:34:41,404 --> 00:34:44,248
Just what we need
to talk about.
487
00:34:44,338 --> 00:34:47,251
Today is
an historic day.
488
00:34:47,338 --> 00:34:49,545
Historic!
489
00:34:49,638 --> 00:34:53,279
A day which generations
will talk about...
490
00:34:53,371 --> 00:34:55,282
for years to come!
491
00:34:56,804 --> 00:34:59,375

00:48:59,804 --> 00:49:02,717
- Do I look like a barmaid?
- Barmaid? Never!
659
00:49:02,804 --> 00:49:05,410
I'm surprised at you, Mr. Anson,
makin' a mistake like that.
660
00:49:05,503 --> 00:49:09,349
This is our honored guest,
Miss Elizabeth.
661
00:49:09,437 --> 00:49:12,384
I'm sorry. I simply assumed
because you were behind the bar--
662
00:49:12,470 --> 00:49:17,818
Well, I like my regulars to feel that this isn't a pub.
It's a home away from home.
663
00:49:17,904 --> 00:49:20,407
- Home?
- Back so soon? Shame.
664
00:49:20,503 --> 00:49:23,916
Difficulty with the breathing again?
Terrible trouble with her chest.
665
00:49:24,003 --> 00:49:27,416
I knew you were returnin' to Cardiff
too soon. I told you so.
666
00:49:27,503 --> 00:49:29,915
She soldiers on
under adversity.
667
00:49:30,003 --> 00:49:32,483
What can I get you
to drink, huh?
668
00:49:34,170 --> 00:49:36,480
- Pint of bitter, please.
- Coming up.
669
00:49:36,570 --> 00:49:38,675
And put it
on my account.
670
00:49:38,770 --> 00:49:40,772
Your account?
671
00:49:40,871 --> 00:49:44,182
To show there's
no hard feelings.
672
00:49:45,837 --> 00:49:49,182
Oh, really, there's
no need for that.
673
00:49:49,270 --> 00:49:51,944
Thank you anyway.
Um, Reginald Anson.
674
00:49:52,036 --> 00:49:55,017
Elizabeth. Miss.
And it would be my pleasure.
675
00:49:55,103 --> 00:49:59,381
Well, there. Enjoy your drinks.
I'm sure you've a lot to talk about.
676
00:49:59,470 --> 00:50:01,381
Oh--
677
00:50:02,970 --> 00:50:05,280
Uh, I'm afraid
Mr. Morgan...
678
00:50:05,370 --> 00:50:09,409
does so like to discuss
one's private matters in public.
679
00:50:09,503 --> 00:50:12,109
Terribly bad taste,
I find.
680
00:50:12,203 --> 00:50:14,911
[Loudly]
Quite common.
681
00:50:15,003 --> 00:50:18,951
Well-- [Laughs] You can
rely on me for complete discretion.
682
00:50:19,036 --> 00:50:22,483
I'm sure. Now,
would you excuse me?
683
00:50:24,470 --> 00:50:28,850
I gave up my first
real, honest job!
684
00:50:28,936 --> 00:50:30,847
Mr. Garrad, sir!
685
00:50:30,936 --> 00:50:33,041
Ah, excuse me.
686
00:50:35,003 --> 00:50:37,244
What can I do you for?
687
00:50:45,903 --> 00:50:49,248
- [Whispering] Anson. There's
dirty work at the crossroads.
- Hmm?
688
00:50:49,337 --> 00:50:52,318
I just spoke to Morgan
about staying another night,
689
00:50:52,403 --> 00:50:54,940
and he wasn't
the least bit surprised.
690
00:50:55,036 --> 00:50:57,710
Oh, no, no, no.
You shouldn't jump to conclusions.
691
00:50:57,804 --> 00:51:01,684
Williams the Garage Man had already
told him that the car was inoperable.
692
00:51:01,770 --> 00:51:04,649
He had?
Oh, I see.
693
00:51:04,737 --> 00:51:07,980
One can't be too careful
in foreign climes.
694
00:51:08,070 --> 00:51:11,847
- Well, it's only Wales, George.
- It's still foreign, Reginald.
695
00:51:11,936 --> 00:51:14,678
I understand.
I-I do! Completely!
696
00:51:14,770 --> 00:51:16,772
Especially
since they are English.
697
00:51:16,870 --> 00:51:18,781
Morgan, you're
missing the point.
698
00:51:18,870 --> 00:51:20,781
No, you are missin'
the point, girl.
699
00:51:20,870 --> 00:51:24,147
All you have to do
is charm the old fool...
700
00:51:24,237 --> 00:51:26,342
so his days
don't seem so empty.
701
00:51:26,437 --> 00:51:28,781
Morgan, your head's empty.
702
00:51:31,136 --> 00:51:33,616
All this for just a map!
703
00:51:33,704 --> 00:51:36,810
Just a map?
Is that what Tommy Twostroke said?
704
00:51:36,903 --> 00:51:39,406
Half-wit!
Just a map!
705
00:51:40,870 --> 00:51:44,682
Maps, dear Betty,
are the--
706
00:51:44,769 --> 00:51:48,114
uh, the undergarments
of a country.
707
00:51:48,203 --> 00:51:52,413
- They give shape to continents.
- You--!
708
00:51:59,070 --> 00:52:02,210
Oh, George.
L-Let me introduce you.
709
00:52:02,303 --> 00:52:05,978
This is, um,
Miss Elizabeth from Cardiff.
710
00:52:06,070 --> 00:52:08,414
Come for the good
mountain air.
711
00:52:08,503 --> 00:52:10,414
And this is
Mr. George Garrad.
712
00:52:10,503 --> 00:52:12,278
- Pleased to meet you.
- I'm sure.
713
00:52:29,936 --> 00:52:32,143
Damn and blast!
Oh, God.
714
00:52:35,136 --> 00:52:37,047
[Rain Falling]
715
00:52:39,437 --> 00:52:41,348
I said it would.
716
00:52:43,237 --> 00:52:46,741
By God, it reminds me
of the monsoons in the tropics.
717
00:52:49,470 --> 00:52:51,780
So have you ever been
to the tropics?
718
00:52:54,437 --> 00:52:56,348
Excuse me.
719
00:52:57,703 --> 00:53:00,343
Awful mud slides
on nights like these.
720
00:53:13,769 --> 00:53:17,581
Williams! Williams!
721
00:53:17,669 --> 00:53:21,242
- Morgan?
- We need tarpaulins up the mountain, quick.
722
00:53:21,337 --> 00:53:23,283
All our work
will be washed away!
723
00:53:23,370 --> 00:53:25,475
- That's the only one I've got.
- Right. That'll do.
724
00:53:25,570 --> 00:53:29,916
- Morgan!
- Get Johnny Shellshocked and get up the mountain, quick!
725
00:53:30,003 --> 00:53:34,509
- But, Morgan!
- Well, I can't do it all myself.
726
00:53:34,604 --> 00:53:38,142
Do you want me to have to tell people
it all failed because of you?
727
00:53:42,769 --> 00:53:47,240
We're nearly there,
Johnny boy, nearly there.
728
00:53:52,070 --> 00:53:54,846
[Screaming]
729
00:53:54,936 --> 00:53:58,474
- Get down!
- [Screaming Continues]
730
00:54:04,803 --> 00:54:07,716
Get down, Johnny,
you bloody idiot! Lightnin'!
731
00:54:07,803 --> 00:54:11,273
Get down!
Come on! Come on!
732
00:54:11,370 --> 00:54:14,544
[Screaming Continues]
733
00:54:14,636 --> 00:54:16,809
Come on!
Come on!
734
00:54:18,470 --> 00:54:21,144
All right.
All right.
735
00:54:21,237 --> 00:54:24,514
- Calm down. Calm down. Shh! Come on.
- [Wailing]
736
00:54:24,603 --> 00:54:29,109
Good boy.
You can get up now. Come on.
737
00:55:01,870 --> 00:55:05,181
So we forged through Palestine,
and then from there,
738
00:55:05,270 --> 00:55:10,276
on into Cairo, and finally
from there, we went on into Aden.
739
00:55:10,370 --> 00:55:12,748
D'you hear that,
Miss Elizabeth?
740
00:55:12,836 --> 00:55:15,976
Mr. Garrad's
been to Aden.
741
00:55:16,070 --> 00:55:17,981
Aden?
742
00:55:20,337 --> 00:55:23,079
Have you been to Aden,
Mr. Anson?
743
00:55:23,170 --> 00:55:27,175
[Anson] Uh, no, no.
744
00:55:27,270 --> 00:55:29,375
Not yet, but I-I--
it sounds fascinating.
745
00:55:29,470 --> 00:55:31,416
Another for you,
Mr. Garrad?
746
00:55:32,870 --> 00:55:34,872
You all right there,
Mr. Anson?
747
00:55:34,970 --> 00:55:38,213
- Mmm.
- I'll have another.
748
00:55:38,303 --> 00:55:42,911
And one for Mr. Anson.
And put them on my account.
749
00:55:43,003 --> 00:55:47,179
Thank you very much. How charming to be
treated to a drink by a lady.
750
00:55:47,270 --> 00:55:51,184
Oh, Miss Elizabeth's
benevolence knows no bounds.
751
00:55:55,170 --> 00:55:59,016
- Bloody hell.
- It was only soddin' thunder and bloody lightnin', weren't it?
752
00:55:59,103 --> 00:56:01,709
Drove the poor bugger
half mad.
753
00:56:01,803 --> 00:56:03,612
[Shuddering]
754
00:56:03,703 --> 00:56:07,446
- What about the mound?
- Oh, we saved your mound all right.
755
00:56:09,370 --> 00:56:12,010
You can't leave him here.
You should take him to Blod's.
756
00:56:12,103 --> 00:56:14,845
I've done enough
for one night.
757
00:56:17,203 --> 00:56:19,979
[Whimpering]
758
00:56:23,203 --> 00:56:25,114
Get some towels
and a blanket, quickly.
759
00:56:25,203 --> 00:56:28,207
Damn shame, poor chap. I saw a lot
of this sort of thing in Sebastopol.
760
00:56:28,303 --> 00:56:30,874
Bugger Sebastopol, George.
Give me your jacket.
761
00:56:32,669 --> 00:56:36,173
Come on! A large brandy,
please. Quickly.
762
00:56:36,270 --> 00:56:38,682
Right. Unclench
his fingers.
763
00:56:38,769 --> 00:56:42,046
Undo his shirt. Get his shirt undone and
unclench his fingers. All right, all right.
764
00:56:42,136 --> 00:56:44,275
Let me see if he's
swallowed his tongue.
765
00:56:44,370 --> 00:56:47,579
That's it. Come on.
There. Just relax.
766
00:56:51,136 --> 00:56:54,083
- Blod!
- What have you done with him?
767
00:56:54,170 --> 00:56:56,081
[Morgan] I didn't do anythin'!
768
00:56:57,270 --> 00:56:59,341
Betty, give the man
the brandy.
769
00:56:59,437 --> 00:57:03,681
Betty? So this is Betty?
What the bloody hell is she doing here?
770
00:57:03,769 --> 00:57:07,376
No, Blod, you-- Don't get
the wrong idea. This is another lady.
771
00:57:07,469 --> 00:57:10,746
With these gentlemen.
Isn't that right?
772
00:57:13,469 --> 00:57:18,111
Uh, yes, yes, we're from London. Now can we
please get on with helping this poor fellow?
773
00:57:18,203 --> 00:57:21,343
- He's in deep shook. There.
- I'm sorry. I thought you were somebody else.
774
00:57:21,436 --> 00:57:24,383
Come on, Morgan. Help me get him home.
I know what to do.
775
00:57:24,469 --> 00:57:26,380
All right.
Gently, gently.
776
00:57:45,970 --> 00:57:50,476
Well, I've had far too much
excitement for one evening.
777
00:57:50,536 --> 00:57:55,212
If you'll excuse me,
I'll say... good night.
778
00:57:55,303 --> 00:57:57,214
- Yeah, but, George--
- Good night!
779
00:58:18,569 --> 00:58:22,813
Oh, don't worry about Morgan. This isn't
the first time I've looked after him.
780
00:58:22,903 --> 00:58:25,315
He won't be back
tonight.
781
00:58:28,237 --> 00:58:30,148
And thank you...
782
00:58:30,237 --> 00:58:32,217
for helpin' me with Blod.
783
00:58:34,870 --> 00:58:38,079
Oh, it's fine.
784
00:58:38,170 --> 00:58:41,845
Just, uh, seemed the--
Seemed the thing to do, really.
785
00:58:54,336 --> 00:58:58,648
I mean that.
Thank you.
786
00:58:58,736 --> 00:59:00,647
That's fine.
787
00:59:08,402 --> 00:59:10,313
Good.
788
00:59:12,703 --> 00:59:18,585
Well, um, good night,
uh, Miss Elizabeth, and, uh--
789
00:59:18,669 --> 00:59:21,548
Betty.
790
00:59:21,636 --> 00:59:24,082
Betty. Yes. Um,
791
00:59:24,170 --> 00:59:27,811
and, uh, thank you for
a lovely evening, and, uh--
792
00:59:27,903 --> 00:59:30,281
Are you married?
793
00:59:30,369 --> 00:59:33,907
- I'm sorry?
- Are you married?
794
00:59:34,003 --> 00:59:35,914
No.
795
00:59:40,003 --> 00:59:41,914
Good night, Mr. Anson.
796
00:59:43,836 --> 00:59:46,680
You're a gentleman.
797
01:00:01,703 --> 01:00:03,614
Idiot.
798
01:00:05,803 --> 01:00:08,044
[Climbing Stairs]
799
01:00:18,136 --> 01:00:21,583
- Sleepin' quietly?
- No thanks to you.
800
01:00:21,669 --> 01:00:24,411
Well, I'll just go back and lock up.
I won't be long.
801
01:00:24,502 --> 01:00:27,915
Don't think for one minute
that you're stayin' here tonight.
802
01:00:28,003 --> 01:00:30,005
- After what you've done to Johnny?
- Blod.
803
01:00:30,103 --> 01:00:33,710
And another thing, Morgan.
If this was all for nothin',
804
01:00:33,803 --> 01:00:37,444
don't think about darkenin'
my door ever again.
805
01:00:37,536 --> 01:00:40,449
- Don't be rash now, girl.
- Bugger off, Morgan.
806
01:00:43,269 --> 01:00:45,909
[Grunts]
Oh, no!
807
01:00:54,369 --> 01:00:56,280
Betty!
808
01:00:58,469 --> 01:01:00,380
[Groans]
809
01:01:01,703 --> 01:01:03,649
Damn and blast!
810
01:01:19,003 --> 01:01:21,074
[Whining]
811
01:01:34,003 --> 01:01:36,244
Good mornin'.
Couldn't you sleep?
812
01:01:36,336 --> 01:01:38,247
I slept like a log.
813
01:01:38,336 --> 01:01:41,715
It's so quiet without
Morgan bangin' around.
814
01:01:41,803 --> 01:01:44,044
[Chuckles]
Morning.
815
01:01:44,136 --> 01:01:46,309
I thought you might
already have gone.
816
01:01:46,402 --> 01:01:48,473
You seemed rather impatient
last night.
817
01:01:48,569 --> 01:01:53,348
Oh, no, no, no. I'm not one
for runnin' around in the rain.
818
01:01:53,436 --> 01:01:56,883
I like to stay snug
in a warm bed and just stare at it.
819
01:01:58,769 --> 01:02:02,808
- Mm-hmm.
- Everythin' looks better when it's wet, don't you think?
820
01:02:09,836 --> 01:02:11,941
- [Squeaks] Mm!
- Are you hungry?
821
01:02:12,036 --> 01:02:15,279
Were you lookin'
for somethin' to eat?
822
01:02:15,369 --> 01:02:19,476
- I'm fami-- famished. I'm famished.
- Yes, you look hungry.
823
01:02:19,569 --> 01:02:21,571
- Ah!
- George.
824
01:02:21,669 --> 01:02:23,706
Ah. Excuse me.
825
01:02:23,803 --> 01:02:26,249
Thank you.
826
01:02:26,336 --> 01:02:30,250
Right, Anson, the order of the day:
sort out this motorcar. Anson!
827
01:02:30,336 --> 01:02:33,180
- Yes?
- We can't be sitting around here forever...
828
01:02:33,269 --> 01:02:35,943
waiting for some joker
on a motorcycle.
829
01:02:36,036 --> 01:02:40,883
- We should be off.
- Back into England or further into Wales?
830
01:02:40,970 --> 01:02:44,315
Uh, well, to the north, north,
north into Wales, really.
831
01:02:44,402 --> 01:02:48,646
If it's rainin' here, it's rainin' more
there. You might as well wait here.
832
01:02:48,736 --> 01:02:51,546
[Banging On Door]
833
01:02:51,636 --> 01:02:53,673
And the inns
in North Wales-- Ugh!
834
01:02:53,769 --> 01:02:56,909
- Come on, girl. Let me in.
- Like sleepin' in stables.
835
01:02:59,269 --> 01:03:02,216
I'm so wet I'm melting.
Ah. Mornin'.
836
01:03:02,302 --> 01:03:04,748
Morning.
837
01:03:10,569 --> 01:03:12,606
- So?
- So what?
838
01:03:12,703 --> 01:03:17,243
You know! Last night.
Miss Elizabeth and the English.
839
01:03:23,102 --> 01:03:27,050
Firstly, Miss Elizabeth
died in her sleep;
840
01:03:27,135 --> 01:03:31,311
and secondly, they're
not animals like you, Morgan.
841
01:03:31,402 --> 01:03:33,245
They're gentlemen.
842
01:03:43,803 --> 01:03:45,714
An animal.
843
01:03:55,803 --> 01:03:59,307
You're not very good at this, are you?
Come on. Concentrate.
844
01:03:59,402 --> 01:04:02,474
That fool said he'd
be here by 11:00.
845
01:04:02,569 --> 01:04:06,540
"I'll have some news," he said. "I'll
have the part from Cardiff," he said.
846
01:04:06,636 --> 01:04:09,344
It's almost sodding noon!
847
01:04:09,436 --> 01:04:11,347
God, I hate the Welsh.
848
01:04:12,703 --> 01:04:14,683
The roads are probably
bad with the rain.
849
01:04:17,803 --> 01:04:19,714
Well, come on, Anson.
850
01:04:19,803 --> 01:04:22,147
Hmm?
851
01:04:22,236 --> 01:04:24,147
Sorry. Wh-Where
are we going?
852
01:04:24,236 --> 01:04:28,207
Well, where the hell
do you think? To get the car.
853
01:04:28,302 --> 01:04:30,976
To get the car.
To get the car. Yes. Yes.
854
01:04:32,402 --> 01:04:34,348
[Checker Taps Against Board]
855
01:04:34,936 --> 01:04:38,247
[Grandfather] The truth is that,
while we Welsh like to believe...
856
01:04:38,269 --> 01:04:41,216
that it was the mountains that
beat the successive invaders,
857
01:04:41,302 --> 01:04:45,307
it was, really, the weather
that comes with mountains.
858
01:04:45,402 --> 01:04:49,373
- It was the rain that defeated every invader.
- [George] Anson!
859
01:04:49,469 --> 01:04:52,382
[Grandfather] Yes, simple rain.

[Chattering]
863
01:05:17,502 --> 01:05:20,745
- Yes, sir?
- I would like--
864
01:05:20,836 --> 01:05:24,807
Oh, God. Anson.
865
01:05:24,903 --> 01:05:27,042
- We'd like to send a telegram, please.
- Yes, sir.
866
01:05:32,969 --> 01:05:35,711
I have been advised
by my department...
867
01:05:35,803 --> 01:05:39,012
that I can take a train
from here to Pontypridd.
868
01:05:41,603 --> 01:05:45,210
- A passenger train.
- Yes.
869
01:05:45,302 --> 01:05:48,215
But you told me that
there were no passenger trains.
870
01:05:48,302 --> 01:05:52,478
Going east. I didn't know
you wanted to go north.
871
01:05:52,569 --> 01:05:55,015
Why did you assume
that I wanted to go east?
872
01:05:55,102 --> 01:05:58,982
You're English,
and England is... east.
873
01:06:00,302 --> 01:06:02,213
Anson.
874
01:06:03,736 --> 01:06:06,774
Uh, well, could we possibly
then have, um, two first-class-
875
01:06:06,870 --> 01:06:09,077
eh, second-class tickets
to, to Pontypridd?
876
01:06:09,169 --> 01:06:10,910
To the north.
877
01:06:11,002 --> 01:06:13,482
I'm sorry.
878
01:06:13,569 --> 01:06:17,517
You could've gone yesterday,
but you can't today.
879
01:06:17,603 --> 01:06:20,209
- Oh?
- Flooding on the line.
880
01:06:23,202 --> 01:06:25,113
Fl-Flooding.
881
01:06:36,469 --> 01:06:39,507
Gentlemen, success?
882
01:06:39,603 --> 01:06:44,518
- Flooding.
- As predicted in the Bible.
[Chuckles]
883
01:06:44,603 --> 01:06:47,015
Yes, it's, it's interesting actually,
because the, uh, passenger trains...
884
01:06:47,102 --> 01:06:50,982
seem to be affected by the flooding, but,
uh, the coal trains are running as normal.
885
01:06:51,069 --> 01:06:53,208
Oh, different lines.
886
01:06:53,302 --> 01:06:56,749
Ah! Yes, of course. I knew there'd be
a simple explanation, George.
887
01:06:56,836 --> 01:07:00,545
- You see, it's different lines that they're on.
- Shut up, Anson.
888
01:07:02,236 --> 01:07:06,776
Now, please send...
889
01:07:06,869 --> 01:07:11,249
some more blankets and
a bottle of gin to my room.
890
01:07:11,336 --> 01:07:13,247
Thank you.
891
01:07:16,069 --> 01:07:18,481
[Grandfather] it started rainin'
Thursday night,
892
01:07:18,569 --> 01:07:21,846
and it rained
all Friday mornin'.
893
01:07:21,935 --> 01:07:24,848
And it rained
all Friday afternoon.
894
01:07:26,669 --> 01:07:29,707
It seemed that the rain
would never stop.
895
01:07:29,803 --> 01:07:33,717
And for the first time, the Welsh and
the English were united by the fact...
896
01:07:33,803 --> 01:07:36,306
that there was
nothin' to do but wait.
897
01:07:40,636 --> 01:07:43,207
But then,
on Sunday mornin',
898
01:07:43,302 --> 01:07:45,782
two miracles occurred:
899
01:07:45,869 --> 01:07:48,975
It stopped rainin' and,
miracle of miracles,
900
01:07:49,069 --> 01:07:52,482
Morgan the Goat
talked to Reverend Jones.
901
01:07:54,369 --> 01:07:56,349
Ah. Reverend Jones.
902
01:07:56,436 --> 01:07:58,313
Morgan.
903
01:07:58,402 --> 01:08:00,211
It stopped rainin'.
904
01:08:01,502 --> 01:08:03,413
Yes, I'm
quite aware of that.
905
01:08:03,502 --> 01:08:05,914
There are
no trains today.
906
01:08:06,002 --> 01:08:10,849
Yes, yes. There are no trains
on the day of the Lord.
907
01:08:10,935 --> 01:08:13,438
Eh, look, wh-what
I'm sayin' is that, uh,
908
01:08:13,536 --> 01:08:17,006
today is our last chance
to build the mountain.
909
01:08:17,102 --> 01:08:19,810
But since it's Sunday,
everyone will be in chapel.
910
01:08:21,469 --> 01:08:26,282
Chapel will start at 10:30
as usual, Mr. Morgan.
911
01:08:26,369 --> 01:08:30,283
But no one will work on a Sunday
without your blessin'.
912
01:08:30,369 --> 01:08:35,910
And tomorrow, the English will be on the mornin'
train out, and we'll have missed our chance.
913
01:08:36,002 --> 01:08:39,415
They have telegrams and tickets
and orders from head office.
914
01:08:39,502 --> 01:08:41,914
I can't keep them here
any longer.
915
01:08:42,002 --> 01:08:44,846
It's today or never.
916
01:08:44,935 --> 01:08:48,781
Chapel will start
at 10:30, Mr. Morgan.
917
01:08:48,869 --> 01:08:54,114
And it would make the good Lord
very happy if for once you were here!

- Good morning.
- Yes, it is.
921

A beautiful mornin'.
922
01:09:18,369 --> 01:09:22,317
- They're pretty.
- Mmm. Yes.
923
01:09:22,402 --> 01:09:24,678
But not as pretty as me.
924
01:09:24,768 --> 01:09:26,770
Y-You're supposed
to say that.

01:09:33,302 --> 01:09:36,374
Didn't you hear me calling?
I need a clean shirt.
928
01:09:36,469 --> 01:09:39,211
Don't look at me.
929
01:09:39,302 --> 01:09:44,217
Well, I-I would lend you one,
but I'm afraid this is the only
clean one I have. [Chuckles]

[Chattering]
931
01:10:55,603 --> 01:10:58,174
My text for today
comes from...
932
01:10:58,269 --> 01:11:02,843
Psalm 99: Verse 9.
933
01:11:05,302 --> 01:11:08,340
"Exalt the Lord our God,
934
01:11:10,502 --> 01:11:12,448
and worship...
935
01:11:12,536 --> 01:11:16,746
at His holy hill."
936
01:11:20,169 --> 01:11:22,080
First thing tomorrow?
937
01:11:22,169 --> 01:11:24,376
Yes. Yes, I'm afraid so.
938
01:11:24,469 --> 01:11:28,645
Uh, George had some, uh, pretty stern
orders from London last night,
939
01:11:28,735 --> 01:11:31,716
so, um, we're off
on the 8:30 train.
940
01:11:32,935 --> 01:11:35,040
Whatever his, uh,
state of health.
941
01:11:35,135 --> 01:11:38,639
[Chuckles]
He was very drunk last night.
942
01:11:38,735 --> 01:11:40,715
And the night before.
943
01:11:40,802 --> 01:11:43,578
[Imitates George] "A habit
I picked up in india." [Chuckles]
944
01:11:43,668 --> 01:11:47,047
[Chuckles] Yes, I don't think he had
enough to do out there, poor chap.
945
01:11:47,135 --> 01:11:50,810
Oh, yeah.
You'd go mad here too.
946
01:11:50,902 --> 01:11:55,715
No, I-- I could live in a place
like this. I've-- I've enjoyed myself.
947
01:11:56,869 --> 01:11:59,475
You have?
948
01:12:01,269 --> 01:12:04,614
I see it as a prayer...
949
01:12:04,668 --> 01:12:08,480
made manifest in soil.
950
01:12:13,035 --> 01:12:17,484
One day,
our children's children...
951
01:12:17,568 --> 01:12:21,880
will play where
we are piling earth.
952
01:12:23,269 --> 01:12:27,581
Elderly people will be able
to see it from the valley...
953
01:12:27,668 --> 01:12:30,410
and be reminded
of their youth.
954
01:12:31,969 --> 01:12:35,849
And therefore,
even though it is a Sunday--
955
01:12:35,935 --> 01:12:39,246
but especially because
it is a Sunday--
956
01:12:39,336 --> 01:12:42,715
you will see me immediately
after this service...
957
01:12:42,802 --> 01:12:45,305
climbing Ffynnon Garw...
958
01:12:45,402 --> 01:12:47,712
with God's soil in my hand.
959
01:12:48,969 --> 01:12:51,643
And I will build
that mound...
960
01:12:51,735 --> 01:12:54,113
and dedicate it to God.
961
01:12:55,802 --> 01:12:57,713
I will build that mound...
962
01:13:03,768 --> 01:13:08,217
in memory of our loved ones
who will...
963
01:13:08,302 --> 01:13:11,511
not return from war!
964
01:13:11,602 --> 01:13:14,242
And I will
build that mound...
965
01:13:14,336 --> 01:13:16,316
as a humble echo...
966
01:13:16,402 --> 01:13:20,748
of the great mountains...
the Lord has given us.
967
01:13:20,835 --> 01:13:25,045
And I will build that mound
in celebration of the joy...
968
01:13:25,135 --> 01:13:28,708
our mountain
has given us!
969
01:13:28,802 --> 01:13:31,976
And I will build
that mound knowing...
970
01:13:32,069 --> 01:13:36,313
that the Lord God
is with me.
971
01:13:36,402 --> 01:13:39,542
"Exalt the Lord our God,
972
01:13:39,635 --> 01:13:42,707
and worship
at His holy hill."
973
01:13:44,035 --> 01:13:48,814
Oh. And I expect
to see you all-- Huh?
974
01:13:48,902 --> 01:13:50,813
UP there!

[Murmuring]
976
01:14:04,236 --> 01:14:06,512
- Ah.
- But don't think for one minute...
977
01:14:06,602 --> 01:14:10,175
that you can sell beer
on the Sabbath.
978
01:14:18,302 --> 01:14:21,875
Though I must say I don't see what I
could usefully do in a place like this.
979
01:14:21,902 --> 01:14:23,813
Oh, it's easy for you.
980
01:14:23,902 --> 01:14:26,405
You can do anything.
You're an educated man.
981
01:14:26,501 --> 01:14:29,539
Well, I'm not really qualified
to do very much.
982
01:14:29,635 --> 01:14:31,478
I could teach, I suppose.
[Chuckles]
983
01:14:34,602 --> 01:14:37,708
Oh, dear.
Sorry. No, I--
984
01:14:37,802 --> 01:14:39,713
I was, um--
985
01:14:39,802 --> 01:14:43,306
I was going to ask you something
personal; it was probably indiscreet.
986
01:14:43,401 --> 01:14:45,472
I don't mind.
987
01:14:46,568 --> 01:14:49,014
Well, I just, uh--
You know, I-I-I--
988
01:14:49,102 --> 01:14:52,572
I know even less about you than I d--
I did about, um,

[Chuckles]
M-Miss Elizabeth.
990
01:14:55,202 --> 01:14:59,116
[Laughs] Miss Elizabeth.

01:32:12,801 --> 01:32:15,042
I'd ask you to come
to South Wales,
1153
01:32:15,134 --> 01:32:17,273
to the village
where I was born.
1154
01:32:17,367 --> 01:32:19,677
And as you drive north
from Cardiff,
1155
01:32:19,767 --> 01:32:22,008
look for
the first big hill--
1156
01:32:22,101 --> 01:32:24,377
not just a hill,
but a mountain--
1157
01:32:24,467 --> 01:32:27,914
and the children
of the people who built it.
1158
01:32:37,734 --> 01:32:42,649
However, just before this film was made,
the mountain was remeasured...
1159
01:32:42,734 --> 01:32:46,876
and found to be 997 feet.
1160
01:32:46,968 --> 01:32:50,541
Thus the mound
had settled back into a hill.
1161
01:32:51,901 --> 01:32:53,938
[Ghostly Voice] A hill?
1162
01:32:56,701 --> 01:32:58,840
