1
00:02:10,797 --> 00:02:14,261
There was nothing
extraordinary about my mum and dad.
2
00:02:15,343 --> 00:02:17,229
Nothing dramatic.
3
00:02:19,431 --> 00:02:21,151
No divorce or anything.
4
00:02:23,768 --> 00:02:28,573
But they were my parents, and I wanted
to remember them by doing a picture hook.
5
00:02:38,074 --> 00:02:41,668
It's a bit odd, really,
having a book about my parents
6
00:02:41,786 --> 00:02:46,543
up there in the bestseller list among
all the football heroes and cookbooks.
7
00:02:48,376 --> 00:02:50,761
They'd be proud of that, I suppose.
8
00:02:52,964 --> 00:02:55,432
But probably rather embarrassed, too.
9
00:02:57,218 --> 00:03:00,433
I imagine they would say,
“It wasn't like that.“
10
00:03:01,764 --> 00:03:04,101
or, "How can you talk about that?"
11
00:03:07,728 --> 00:03:09,484
Well, I have...
12
00:03:09,605 --> 00:03:11,990

19

There's the fire to stoke
and the beds to make.
20
00:04:19,133 --> 00:04:21,138
Yes, madam. I won't be long.

00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:47,388

Then I can get going on that old range.

I'll be glad to see the back
of that thing.

00:14:55,764 --> 00:14:57,271
It's a pig, duck.
183
00:14:57,391 --> 00:15:00,819
One of those nice new gas cookers,
that's what we need.

That's it. Smashing bed.

Nearly new. Mahogany... I think.

Newly-weds need good springs.

- Come and try it out, darling.
- Certainly not, Ernest.
201
00:15:51,361 --> 00:15:53,164

Cor. It says here,
over two million unemployed.
210
00:16:17,929 --> 00:16:20,230
I'm lucky to be a milkman, Et.
211
00:16:20,348 --> 00:16:22,649
I hate coal under the stairs.
212
00:16:22,767 --> 00:16:26,943
Coal dust gets everywhere,
and it's so common.
213
00:16:27,063 --> 00:16:30,326
Oh. I'll build a brick bunker
in the garden, then.
214
00:16:31,818 --> 00:16:33,787
That'll be lovely.
215

What you reckon, Et? Ho-ho!
216
00:16:36,281 --> 00:16:39,828
Oh, Ernest, it's far too big.
217
00:16:40,785 --> 00:16:42,790
I'll make some nice loose covers.
218
00:16:42,912 --> 00:16:45,961
Came out of a posh hotel. A bargain.
219
00:16:46,082 --> 00:16:50,305
I've made a curtain for under the tank.
It'll hide the pipes.
220
00:16:50,420 --> 00:16:53,350
I'll keep my outdoor clothes there.
The pipes will dry them off.
221
00:16:53,464 --> 00:16:56,182
Oh, but your coats smell of stale milk,
Ernest.
222
00:16:56,300 --> 00:16:58,140
Yeah, sorry.
223
00:16:59,470 --> 00:17:01,807
Do you think you'll ever be promoted?
224
00:17:01,931 --> 00:17:04,102
No blooming fear. Not me.
225
00:17:04,225 --> 00:17:08,068
Yard foreman? Stuck in a tin shed all day,
adding up rows of figures?
226
00:17:08,187 --> 00:17:11,865
Blow that for a lark.
I like the fresh air.
227
00:17:11,983 --> 00:17:15,660
I could have married... a deep sea diver.
228
00:17:15,778 --> 00:17:17,617
Well, why didn't you?
229
00:17:17,738 --> 00:17:21,001
Because... I didn't love him.
230
00:17:33,546 --> 00:17:36,226
Why do you keep that picture
of a baby on the wall?
231
00:17:36,340 --> 00:17:39,722
- Why do you think?
- Well, it's not a relative, is it?
232
00:17:39,844 --> 00:17:42,228
We've been married over two years.
233
00:17:43,264 --> 00:17:46,360
I'll soon be 37.
234
00:17:47,476 --> 00:17:49,066

It's lovely. How ever did you get it home?
255
00:19:03,260 --> 00:19:04,980
I walked it back on my bike pedal.
256
00:19:05,095 --> 00:19:06,898
- How much was it?
- Only half a dollar.
257
00:19:07,013 --> 00:19:08,900
I got it off a diddicoy down home.
258
00:19:09,015 --> 00:19:11,649

00:22:54,197 --> 00:22:58,706
They always say if you give the working
class a bath, they'd keep the coal in it.
316

Oh, yeah?
I haven't noticed much coal in our bath.

00:23:25,144 --> 00:23:26,698
Hello, Mum.
325
00:23:26,813 --> 00:23:30,075
I brought you a couple
of bottles of stout.
326
00:23:30,191 --> 00:23:32,243
And some coal.

00:23:33,695 --> 00:23:35,866
- Thanks.
- Thanks, Mum. No need.

Oh, ain't he grown?

This is the BBC
in London. There now follows the news.
331
00:23:47,375 --> 00:23:50,637
German Chancellor,
Adolf Hitler, announced today new laws
332
00:23:50,753 --> 00:23:53,173
that will forbid Jews remaining
as German citizens.
333
00:23:53,297 --> 00:23:56,595
Here, Ern,
turn that blessed wireless thing off.
334
00:23:56,717 --> 00:23:59,601
I don't want that man
to hear what I'm saying.
335
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:03,980
Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain said
a new meeting's going to be held at...
336
00:24:11,607 --> 00:24:13,280
Here, Et...
337
00:24:13,401 --> 00:24:17,873
Did you know, if you're a Jew in Germany,
you're forbidden to marry a German?
338
00:24:17,989 --> 00:24:19,579
Hm.
339
00:24:19,699 --> 00:24:22,664
- I would hate to marry a German.
- No...
340
00:24:28,624 --> 00:24:31,554
Cor, this gas copper's a real luxury.
341
00:24:31,669 --> 00:24:35,928
Just turn the tap and strike a match.
342
00:24:36,048 --> 00:24:39,761
BBC's gonna start tele-vision
later this year.
343
00:24:39,885 --> 00:24:42,140
What's that when it's at home?
344
00:24:42,263 --> 00:24:45,228
Well, it looks like a wireless set
with pictures on top of it.
345
00:24:45,349 --> 00:24:48,398
Moving pictures? Talkies?
346
00:24:49,144 --> 00:24:50,651
Yeah.
347
00:24:50,771 --> 00:24:53,275
It'll be like going to the pictures
without going out.
348
00:24:53,399 --> 00:24:56,780
What? You just sit and look at it?
349
00:24:56,902 --> 00:24:58,325
- Yeah.
- Hm.
350
00:24:59,655 --> 00:25:02,289
I suppose it might be all right
for the gentry.
351
00:25:05,661 --> 00:25:07,381
Ohh!
352
00:25:07,496 --> 00:25:09,335

Ooh!
355
00:25:15,546 --> 00:25:18,595
Another lot of washing.
356
00:25:20,008 --> 00:25:25,228
It says "The average family needs £6
a week to keep it above the poverty line".
357
00:25:25,347 --> 00:25:28,111
- What's the poverty line?
- Dunno.
358
00:25:28,225 --> 00:25:32,365
Just wish I earned £6 a week.
What with the nipper growing up so fast.

Hey-hey! That's the way to do it, boysie!
362
00:25:47,577 --> 00:25:50,792

- Oh, Ernest, he's getting such a big boy.
363
00:25:50,914 --> 00:25:53,133
No, he's not. He's skinny, like me.
364
00:25:53,250 --> 00:25:56,678
Wiry, Ernest. And tall.
365
00:25:56,795 --> 00:26:00,058
And lovely hair. All those curls.

Ooh, look, that's new.
367
00:26:04,386 --> 00:26:06,438
They're serving teas in The Balcony.

There's waitresses in aprons and caps.
369

It looks a bit posh.
370
00:26:12,978 --> 00:26:15,564

- Again!
371
00:26:15,689 --> 00:26:18,951
Yes. Some other time.

I've had it done.

What? What?!
376
00:26:37,794 --> 00:26:39,051
His hair.
377
00:26:39,170 --> 00:26:41,638
- Eh?
- They've cut it all off!
378

Well, blimey, it's gotta be done, Et.

We can't have him running round
like a blooming girl all his life.

He'll be off to school in no time.

What's wrong with Mum?

00:27:10,868 --> 00:27:12,340
Mum! Mum!
386
00:27:12,453 --> 00:27:14,957
Raymond, dear.
Shouldn't you be in school?
387
00:27:15,081 --> 00:27:17,252
Mum! Mum!

Whatever are you home for?
389

You mustn't come home
in the middle of the day.
390
00:27:23,256 --> 00:27:25,973
Did you cross that main road?
Oh, God, you must have done.
391
00:27:26,092 --> 00:27:29,224
- I can't find the sit down lavatories.
- You can't find the...?
392
00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:32,352
We showed you them.
393
00:27:32,473 --> 00:27:34,229
No, they're girls. Girls sit down.
394
00:27:34,350 --> 00:27:37,067
No, there's boys' sitting downs, as well.
395
00:27:37,186 --> 00:27:39,737
No, there isn't. It's all girls.
396
00:27:39,855 --> 00:27:42,192
Oh, look out! I wanna go number twos!
397
00:27:44,819 --> 00:27:46,788
Nice day again, Mrs Bennet.
398
00:27:46,904 --> 00:27:49,668
Yes, lovely, Mrs Briggs.
399
00:28:02,962 --> 00:28:06,390
Sounds like that Hitler's on the warpath
good and proper.
400
00:28:06,507 --> 00:28:07,930
Mm.
401
00:28:08,050 --> 00:28:09,723
Just hark at them.
402
00:28:09,844 --> 00:28:12,394
They're all barmy.
403
00:28:13,055 --> 00:28:16,104
Our George was killed in the last one.
404
00:28:16,225 --> 00:28:18,312
And brother Tom.
405
00:28:19,853 --> 00:28:21,859
It doesn't seem all that long ago.
406
00:28:23,899 --> 00:28:26,319
Our poor old mother never got over it.
407
00:28:36,704 --> 00:28:41,212
This television is gonna be on
one and a half hours every evening.
408
00:28:41,333 --> 00:28:45,593
Dreadful. It would be like going
to the pictures every day.
409
00:28:46,672 --> 00:28:48,558
Blimey. There's a photo here
410
00:28:48,674 --> 00:28:52,268
of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor
shaking hands with Hitler.
411
00:28:52,386 --> 00:28:54,972

Look, Mum.
414
00:29:02,771 --> 00:29:06,365
The Prime Minister, Neville
Chamberlain, returned from Germany today
415
00:29:06,483 --> 00:29:10,114
and spoke to crowds at Heston Airport
with the promise of peace.
416
00:29:11,321 --> 00:29:16,790
I had another talk
with the German Chancellor, Herr Hitler.
417
00:29:18,286 --> 00:29:25,962
And here is the paper which bears his name
upon it, as well as mine.
418
00:29:28,672 --> 00:29:33,595
Cor, Et. Old Chamberlain is giving Hitler
half of Czechoslovakia.
419
00:29:33,718 --> 00:29:35,011
Oh, yes?
420
00:29:35,137 --> 00:29:38,150
He says it's peace with honour.
Peace in our time.
421
00:29:38,265 --> 00:29:41,812
Thank goodness for that.
Don't you want that bit of toast, Ernest?
422
00:29:41,935 --> 00:29:43,228
No.
423
00:29:43,353 --> 00:29:45,323
No, thanks, dear.

- You there, Et?
- In here!
427
00:30:04,958 --> 00:30:09,264
Hitler's marched into Prague now.
He'll be coming down our road soon.

Adolf Hitler? In Wimbledon Park?
429
00:30:12,423 --> 00:30:17,228
It says here the Government is going
to spend £200,000 on air-raid shelters.
430
00:30:17,345 --> 00:30:19,018
Better get ourselves ready.
431
00:30:19,138 --> 00:30:22,982
Oh, not on the table, Ernest.

It's gonna be very stuffy
with all this blackout up, Ernest.
434
00:30:29,065 --> 00:30:31,913
Not half as stuffy
as a gas-proof room would be.
435
00:30:32,026 --> 00:30:35,490
Poison gas! Oh, I hadn't thought of that.

Russia's invaded Finland now.
526
00:37:17,220 --> 00:37:21,063
- I thought they'd invaded Poland?
- Yes, they have.
527
00:37:21,182 --> 00:37:23,733
But you said Germany's invaded Poland.
528
00:37:23,851 --> 00:37:25,607
Yes, that's right.
529
00:37:25,728 --> 00:37:28,113
Well, who was it invaded Czechoslovakia?
530
00:37:28,231 --> 00:37:32,371
- Germany.
- Oh, Germany's always invading someone.
531
00:37:32,485 --> 00:37:34,371
I expect they'll invade Russia one day.
532
00:37:34,487 --> 00:37:36,955
Cor blimey, not likely. They're in league.
533
00:37:37,073 --> 00:37:40,585
- Or Russia will invade Germany.
- Oh, don't be daft.
534
00:37:40,702 --> 00:37:44,878
Well, if they all keep invading one
another, we'll end up invading someone.
535
00:37:44,997 --> 00:37:48,628
Oh, Et,
you just don't understand politics.
536
00:37:49,961 --> 00:37:52,381
Oh! Now look.
537
00:37:52,505 --> 00:37:54,475
Blessed shelter.
538
00:37:59,929 --> 00:38:03,026
Do you think they ever will come down
our road, Ernest?
539
00:38:03,140 --> 00:38:05,276
I expect it will be OK.
540
00:38:05,393 --> 00:38:09,070
They say Hitler's assured Holland
and Belgium of his friendship.
541
00:38:09,188 --> 00:38:11,739
Oh, that's nice.
542
00:38:13,526 --> 00:38:15,412
What do you think?
It's all right, eh?
543
00:38:15,528 --> 00:38:19,704
I thought firemen had those nice brass
helmets with curly tops.
544
00:38:19,824 --> 00:38:22,541
Nah.
Blokes been getting electrocuted in those.
545
00:38:23,536 --> 00:38:26,798
At last! Churchill's taken over.
546
00:38:26,914 --> 00:38:30,212
- "Blood, toil, tears and sweat."
- Ernest!
547
00:38:30,334 --> 00:38:32,173
Don't. Disgusting.
548
00:38:32,294 --> 00:38:34,928
It's your gentry talking.
His words, not mine.
549
00:38:35,047 --> 00:38:37,551
Yes, but he was talking
to the common people.
550
00:38:37,675 --> 00:38:40,439
He wouldn't use words like that
in his own home.
551
00:38:43,514 --> 00:38:47,654
What General Weygand
has called the Battle of France is over.
552
00:38:49,061 --> 00:38:51,647
The Battle of Britain is about to begin.
553
00:38:52,856 --> 00:38:58,491
Upon this battle depends
the survival of Christian civilization.
554
00:38:58,612 --> 00:39:05,208
The whole fury and might of the enemy
must very soon he turned on us.
555
00:39:06,328 --> 00:39:11,762
Hitler knows that he will have to break us
in this island or lose the war.
556
00:39:14,670 --> 00:39:19,178
If we can stand up to him,
all Europe may be freed
557
00:39:19,299 --> 00:39:25,646
and the life of the world may move
forward into broad, sunlit uplands.
558
00:39:28,225 --> 00:39:31,856
But if we fail, then the whole world,
559
00:39:31,979 --> 00:39:34,743
including the United States,
560
00:39:35,649 --> 00:39:39,410
will sink into the abyss
of a new Dark Age.
561
00:39:42,155 --> 00:39:45,370
Let us therefore brace ourselves
to our duties,
562
00:39:45,492 --> 00:39:48,042
and so bear ourselves,
563
00:39:48,161 --> 00:39:52,302
that, if the British Empire
and its Commonwealth
564
00:39:52,416 --> 00:39:57,090
last for a thousand years,
men will still say:
565
00:39:58,380 --> 00:40:01,477

569
00:40:24,114 --> 00:40:27,708
They're starting to take away
our nice gate and railings.
570
00:40:27,826 --> 00:40:29,831
I'll make a wooden gate.
571
00:40:29,953 --> 00:40:33,132
- Oh, it's a shame.
- They want saucepans, too.
572
00:40:33,248 --> 00:40:35,134
They make 'em into Spitfires.
573
00:40:36,167 --> 00:40:39,382
Funny to think of our front gate
being a Spitfire.
574
00:41:46,904 --> 00:41:49,834
The front door's halfway up the stairs.
575
00:41:51,117 --> 00:41:53,667
It's spoiled my loose covers.
576
00:41:56,539 --> 00:41:59,635
Could have been worse, Et.
We got off light.
577
00:41:59,750 --> 00:42:02,965
I'm glad Raymond
was well clear of all this.
578
00:42:03,087 --> 00:42:04,880
Perhaps when we've got
this mess cleared up,
579
00:42:04,922 --> 00:42:07,342
we could take a trip down to Dorset

584
00:42:21,605 --> 00:42:26,196
No need to worry about him, Ethel.
He's got quite used to things now.

Phwoar! Lovely country smells, eh, boysie?
586

00:42:41,708 --> 00:42:44,888
Ooh.
589
00:42:45,003 --> 00:42:47,139
Come along, Raymond. We've seen the pigs.
590
00:42:50,384 --> 00:42:53,682
He's fitted into the school
very well, hasn't he, Flo?
591
00:42:53,804 --> 00:42:56,105
It's as if he's always been here.
592
00:42:56,223 --> 00:42:59,022
Oh. Good.
593
00:42:59,142 --> 00:43:02,571
Mum, the boys at school all have boots.
594
00:43:02,688 --> 00:43:06,614
They're common boys, Ethel,
from Lambeth and Bermondsey.
595
00:43:06,733 --> 00:43:09,866
- Can I have boots?
- Certainly not, Raymond.

00:49:37,371 --> 00:49:38,462
Doodlebug.
701
00:49:40,457 --> 00:49:42,130
Get down, son! Get down!
702
00:49:47,756 --> 00:49:49,144
Engine's cut out.

704
00:50:03,438 --> 00:50:05,657
Cor. That was close.
705
00:50:05,774 --> 00:50:08,277
I didn't know they were bright blue
underneath, Dad.
706
00:50:08,402 --> 00:50:10,323
Come on, son. Shelter.
707
00:50:10,445 --> 00:50:12,913
Before any more of the blighters
come over.
708
00:50:14,241 --> 00:50:16,661
We'd better get you
back down the country tomorrow.
709
00:50:32,634 --> 00:50:36,893
Crikey, dear.
Sounds like a lot got through tonight.
710
00:50:41,810 --> 00:50:45,108
- I can't hear anything.
- Hold tight, duck.
711
00:50:59,202 --> 00:51:01,752
Some shelter. Full of glass.
712
00:51:01,871 --> 00:51:03,841
Morrison shelters!
713
00:51:03,957 --> 00:51:06,425

00:51:07,377 --> 00:51:11,517
Good job the boy wasn't in it.
He's only been gone two days.

The old Dorothy Perkins

716
00:51:19,806 --> 00:51:22,309
Pity he didn't take his teddy with him.

00:51:22,433 --> 00:51:25,530
Oh, Ernest.

773
00:55:12,787 --> 00:55:15,171

00:55:15,289 --> 00:55:19,252

Can't have a dirty face, can we?
781
00:55:46,946 --> 00:55:48,702
Not at the grammar school.
782
00:55:48,823 --> 00:55:50,993
Quite so, madam.
783
00:55:51,117 --> 00:55:52,409
Languages, eh?
784
00:55:52,535 --> 00:55:56,711
Oh, yes.
He has to do French and Latin. And Maths.
785
00:55:56,831 --> 00:55:58,421
Oh, like arithmetic?
786
00:55:58,541 --> 00:56:02,420
No, not just arithmetic.

Oh. And sport, does he do his football?

00:56:10,302 --> 00:56:11,643
Oh, no.
790
00:56:11,762 --> 00:56:14,526
- They play rugger.
- Ethel?
791
00:56:14,640 --> 00:56:16,727
Oh, sorry, must go.
792
00:56:19,436 --> 00:56:21,987
You shouldn't go on about it
to Mrs Bennet, dear.
793
00:56:22,106 --> 00:56:23,316
Why not?
794
00:56:23,440 --> 00:56:26,489
Well, her boy didn't get in anywhere.
He's a bricklayer now.
795
00:56:26,610 --> 00:56:28,995
I don't see why I shouldn't be proud
of my own son.
796
00:56:29,113 --> 00:56:31,497
Yeah? Well, well, OK.
797
00:56:42,960 --> 00:56:45,724
- Wahey!
- Mum, look!
798
00:56:48,465 --> 00:56:51,229
- What do you reckon?
- Smashing, Dad.
799
00:56:51,343 --> 00:56:53,146
It's electric, son.
800
00:56:53,262 --> 00:56:55,516
I hope you can keep control of it, Ernest.
801
00:56:55,639 --> 00:56:56,980
Can I have a go on it?
802
00:56:57,099 --> 00:56:59,863
Just you keep away from it.
It's dangerous.
803
00:56:59,976 --> 00:57:01,863
See you later.
804
00:57:06,525 --> 00:57:08,031

- How goes it, then?
- Oh, not good.
808

- the other.
- Hm?
813
00:57:38,848 --> 00:57:42,194
It's the change. She's on the change.
814
00:57:42,310 --> 00:57:45,359
Too demanding.
Do you know what I mean?
815
00:57:45,480 --> 00:57:48,066
I can't cope. It's too much for me.
816
00:57:48,191 --> 00:57:52,996
So, if you ever fancy... you know...
817
00:57:54,155 --> 00:57:56,077
You'd be doing me a favour.

00:57:56,199 --> 00:57:58,999

00:57:59,118 --> 00:58:02,832
I'll be out next Saturday. Football.
Fulham's at home. So...

You mean, you...
821
00:58:06,626 --> 00:58:09,260
Yeah, like I say,
you'd be doing me a favour.
822
00:58:11,756 --> 00:58:15,718
Oh, blimey, no. No, mate.
No, I couldn't. Sorry. No.
823
00:58:15,843 --> 00:58:17,730

Yes. Yes, he did. That's right.
861
01:00:07,079 --> 01:00:09,962
He's been helping the police
with their investigations.
862

In a Black Maria?
863
01:00:12,000 --> 01:00:15,382
Yes. He reported some stolen property
he found in the woods.
864
01:00:15,504 --> 01:00:19,265
The Chief Inspector said
he was a very clever boy.
865
01:00:19,383 --> 01:00:21,139
Hm.
866
01:00:28,809 --> 01:00:33,317
Look. More scrap Anderson.
Ah, fits perfect.
867
01:00:34,398 --> 01:00:37,411
We'll own all the coal soon.
They're gonna nationalize it.
868
01:00:37,526 --> 01:00:39,328
I bet we still have to pay for it.
869
01:00:39,444 --> 01:00:42,161
Well, course we'll have to pay for it,
you daft ha'porth.
870
01:00:42,280 --> 01:00:46,373
- So we won't own it, then, will we?
- Well, er... not exactly.
871
01:00:46,493 --> 01:00:48,712
But it means the profits
will go to the Government,
872
01:00:48,829 --> 01:00:50,881
instead of lining the pockets
of the bosses.
873
01:00:50,997 --> 01:00:53,417
And then the Government
gives the money to us?
874
01:00:53,542 --> 01:00:55,926
- No!
- So what's the difference, then?
875
01:00:58,213 --> 01:01:03,136
Cor! 50,000 GI brides going to America.
Kiddies with them, too.
876
01:01:03,259 --> 01:01:06,771
Children? But they're not married!
877
01:01:06,888 --> 01:01:10,270
Yeah, well, I expect some of them
jumped the gun a bit.
878

the Yanks. "One yank and they're down."
879
01:01:16,272 --> 01:01:20,199

- Er, well, I dunno. It's just a saying.
880
01:01:32,872 --> 01:01:36,550
Wheeee!
881
01:01:39,879 --> 01:01:43,640
Blimey. There's gonna be

What about the green belt?
All that lovely country.
884
01:01:49,847 --> 01:01:52,980
Yeah, well, it will bypass it, I expect.
885
01:01:53,101 --> 01:01:56,695
I thought you said there were going to be
lots of bypasses already?
886
01:01:56,813 --> 01:01:58,366
Yeah, well, so there are.
887
01:01:58,481 --> 01:02:02,194

- And what about the ring roads?
888

Look, it will bypass the ring roads
and bypass the bypasses.

- Yes, and bypass the green belt!

That's all right, then.
891
01:02:14,622 --> 01:02:16,709
Only it does seem a bit of a muddle.

Whatever's the matter, dear?
900
01:03:07,549 --> 01:03:12,555
He says he wants to leave
the grammar school and go to art school.
901
01:03:12,680 --> 01:03:14,981
Art school?
902
01:03:15,099 --> 01:03:17,898
- Oh, blimey.
- Such a shame.
903
01:03:18,018 --> 01:03:20,438
He could have gone
to Oxford and Cambridge.
904
01:03:20,562 --> 01:03:22,650
And got a nice job in an office.
905
01:03:22,773 --> 01:03:26,036
He could have been a foreman
or even, maybe, a manager.
906
01:03:33,116 --> 01:03:37,257
There's no money in it.
He'll never earn a living at it.

01:03:47,839 --> 01:03:50,010
It was confirmed today that Russia
910
01:03:50,133 --> 01:03:52,304
has exploded its first atomic bomb.
911
01:03:52,427 --> 01:03:56,354
The test took place in a remote area
of Kazakhstan, and it is believed...
912
01:03:56,473 --> 01:03:59,023
Russia explodes an atomic bomb.
913

Dad, when you come home from work,
why don't you wash in the bathroom?

Blimey, son. I'm filthy, look.
917
01:04:24,709 --> 01:04:27,427
Yes, I know,
but that's what the bathroom is for.
918
01:04:27,545 --> 01:04:30,131
No, I couldn't wash in the bathroom.
Not in this state.

Oh, Dad!

Hello, dear. Had a good day at college?
924
01:04:43,645 --> 01:04:48,153
- Oh, what's up with him?
- They call it ad-o-lescence, dear.

01:04:48,274 --> 01:04:49,781
They don't understand.

928
01:04:56,491 --> 01:04:58,792
I could get an electric thermostat
for the tank.

Hot water in the summertime.
All modern.
930

Electric thermostat. Electric fridge.
Electric milk float.
931
01:05:05,291 --> 01:05:08,091
My old mum and dad never knew
the meaning of the word.

- Electric!
933

Down home there was nothing electric
in the whole blessed house.

It's scientific progress.

Meat ration to be cut by tuppence?

That's the lowest it's ever been.
And six years after the end of the war.

Steady on, old son.
1204
01:24:54,846 --> 01:24:56,768
Steady on.
1205
01:25:18,787 --> 01:25:22,001
- Why is she on a trolley?
- I don't know, son.
1206
01:25:22,123 --> 01:25:25,089
Look, bloody tissues and Vim
right by her face.
1207
01:25:26,252 --> 01:25:29,847
- They've put her teeth in all crooked.
- I know, son.
1208
01:25:32,384 --> 01:25:33,937
I don't know.
1209
01:25:47,148 --> 01:25:50,078
I still keep laying the table for two,
duck.
1210
01:25:52,403 --> 01:25:54,373
Daft, isn't it, Susie, puss?
1211
01:26:00,328 --> 01:26:02,250
Nice daffs, aren't they?
1212
01:26:14,842 --> 01:26:17,939
"retailers tell the Government
they accept the need...
1213
01:26:18,054 --> 01:26:19,976
I'll get cocoa in a minute, dear.
1214
01:26:31,067 --> 01:26:32,823
Good night, Susie.
1215
01:26:45,665 --> 01:26:47,218
Argh!
1216
01:26:47,333 --> 01:26:48,840
Ohh!
1217
01:26:50,086 --> 01:26:52,636
- Argh!
1218
01:26:52,755 --> 01:26:56,302
Argh!
1219
01:27:07,436 --> 01:27:09,655
It's OK, Susie.
1220
01:28:31,561 --> 01:28:34,907
I suppose I better get the Salvation Army
to take it all away.
1221
01:28:57,170 --> 01:28:59,222
I grew it from a pip.
