0:00:16 > 0:00:20Apologies, Herr Hitler. Your bombers won't get through tonight.

0:00:20 > 0:00:23MACHINEGUN FIRE

0:00:23 > 0:00:25Taka-taka-taka...

0:00:25 > 0:00:26HE IMITATES SWOOPING PLANE

0:00:29 > 0:00:32One down. 17 to go.

0:00:34 > 0:00:37Dad?

0:00:37 > 0:00:38Oh, Dad, where are you?

0:00:42 > 0:00:44Dad?

0:00:45 > 0:00:46TYRES SQUEAL

0:00:53 > 0:00:56Oh, no.

0:00:56 > 0:00:57GRANDPA IMITATES PLANES

0:00:57 > 0:01:00There's my grandpa. But he wasn't always this confused.

0:01:00 > 0:01:03Take this, Jerry! Taka-taka-taka-taka...

0:01:03 > 0:01:06He was once the Royal Air Force's bravest Spitfire pilot.

0:01:08 > 0:01:09That was during World War II

0:01:09 > 0:01:14but our story takes place 40 years later, in the 1980s.

0:01:14 > 0:01:16I wasn't like the other kids at school,

0:01:16 > 0:01:18I didn't want a Rubik's Cube or a mullet.

0:01:20 > 0:01:23I was happiest with my World War II model planes from Grandpa's stories.

0:01:25 > 0:01:27The best day of the week was always Saturday -

0:01:27 > 0:01:31that was the day that me and my sister Shelley would see Grandpa.

0:01:31 > 0:01:34If we were really lucky, he would take us to the war museum.

0:01:34 > 0:01:38It was him or me - I press on my machineguns.

0:01:38 > 0:01:41The air was filled with bullets, smoke, fire, I'd hit my first

0:01:41 > 0:01:47Messerschmitt, the Luftwaffe pilot who parachuted down, I let him be.

0:01:47 > 0:01:50Then it was back to base and Grandpa would take us

0:01:50 > 0:01:51on a top-secret mission.

0:01:51 > 0:01:54Right, off we go, canopy secure?

0:01:54 > 0:01:56- Check. - Fuel gauge on full?

0:01:56 > 0:01:58- Check. - Up, up and away!

0:01:58 > 0:02:00Up, up and away!

0:02:10 > 0:02:13It was the happiest of times. Up, up and away!

0:02:13 > 0:02:15But times changed.

0:02:15 > 0:02:17Grandpa became more forgetful.

0:02:17 > 0:02:18GRANDPA HUMS

0:02:21 > 0:02:24He'd forget he'd made a cup of tea...

0:02:24 > 0:02:26..and make another one.

0:02:26 > 0:02:28KETTLE WHISTLES

0:02:28 > 0:02:29So I tried to help.

0:02:31 > 0:02:33Every week, I got his shopping.

0:02:46 > 0:02:48Waiter, this is corked.

0:02:52 > 0:02:56In spite of his medication, Grandpa wasn't getting any better.

0:02:56 > 0:02:58In fact, he was getting worse.

0:02:59 > 0:03:02Morning, Grandpa, time for your doctor's appointment.

0:03:02 > 0:03:05We'll just wait for Peggy.

0:03:05 > 0:03:07My dear wife Peggy, just getting ready.

0:03:07 > 0:03:09She won't be a minute.

0:03:11 > 0:03:13Peggy's not here, Grandpa.

0:03:13 > 0:03:15She died during the war.

0:03:17 > 0:03:18Did she?

0:03:21 > 0:03:23My darling Peggy.

0:03:32 > 0:03:35It's OK, Grandpa, I'll look after you.

0:03:43 > 0:03:45I wish I could say my family helped with Grandpa,

0:03:45 > 0:03:48but they had their own things going on.

0:03:48 > 0:03:51This is my sister, she got older and was only interested in Duran Duran.

0:03:51 > 0:03:52MUSIC PLAYS: Rio by Duran Duran

0:03:52 > 0:03:54Marry me, Simon Le Bon.

0:03:56 > 0:03:58Mum was a high roller in the beauty business.

0:03:58 > 0:04:00Avon calling!

0:04:03 > 0:04:05Dad worked for the council.

0:04:05 > 0:04:08He always claimed he was head of road maintenance

0:04:08 > 0:04:11but Mum said he was in charge of traffic cones.

0:04:11 > 0:04:14It certainly was his favourite topic of conversation.

0:04:14 > 0:04:17So guess where traffic cones were first used in the UK.

0:04:17 > 0:04:19Nobody cares, Barry.

0:04:19 > 0:04:21No, the correct answer is the M6.

0:04:21 > 0:04:24Occasionally, it was like it used to be.

0:04:24 > 0:04:25WAR FILM ON TV

0:04:25 > 0:04:27How fast is that Spitfire going, Grandpa?

0:04:27 > 0:04:31Top speed 360 miles an hour, near enough.

0:04:31 > 0:04:36I'd give anything... anything to fly one again.

0:04:36 > 0:04:39The funny thing was, Grandpa wasn't confused

0:04:39 > 0:04:43when he talked about the war and that gave me an idea.

0:04:45 > 0:04:47Good morning, Wing Commander.

0:04:47 > 0:04:48Squadron Leader.

0:04:48 > 0:04:51The medical officer wants to know if you've had your energy pills today?

0:04:51 > 0:04:54Righty-ho, down the hatch.

0:04:54 > 0:04:56I'd just pretend the war was still on.

0:04:56 > 0:04:58Anything further from air command?

0:04:58 > 0:05:02They want us to keep physically fit for the coming battle.

0:05:02 > 0:05:05- Kick about in the park? - Good call.

0:05:05 > 0:05:08Which was fine - when it was just Grandpa and me.

0:05:08 > 0:05:10But harder with all the family.

0:05:10 > 0:05:11SISTER HUMS

0:05:11 > 0:05:16Now, the story behind making traffic cones orange is a fascinating one.

0:05:18 > 0:05:20- This tea's off. - That's gravy, Dad.

0:05:20 > 0:05:24Dad? You're not my son, my son's a little, little baby.

0:05:26 > 0:05:27HE LAUGHS

0:05:27 > 0:05:29Whatever next?

0:05:29 > 0:05:33He's got worse, much worse. He'd be best off in a...

0:05:33 > 0:05:35- WHISPERS:- ..home.

0:05:35 > 0:05:38He is in a home, Mum. HIS home and he's happy there.

0:05:38 > 0:05:41He's drinking from the gravy boat, Jack, the gravy boat!

0:05:43 > 0:05:44- Wing Commander? - Squadron Leader?

0:05:44 > 0:05:47You're in the mess hall and the charlady...

0:05:47 > 0:05:50- I beg your pardon? - ..has just served up your rations.

0:05:50 > 0:05:52Oh, oh, I see, jolly good.

0:05:53 > 0:05:56I don't know if you should be pretending it's the war, Jack.

0:05:56 > 0:05:59What if he attacks that nice German lady who works in Bejam's?

0:06:00 > 0:06:02SISTER SINGS OFF KEY

0:06:03 > 0:06:06This food is diabolical.

0:06:06 > 0:06:09Then we can have the charlady taken out and shot!

0:06:11 > 0:06:13I'm trying to help.

0:06:13 > 0:06:16So we tried to play along and that worked out for a while

0:06:16 > 0:06:18until one night,

0:06:18 > 0:06:20Dad found Grandpa sitting on the church roof.

0:06:25 > 0:06:28Love? He's on the church roof this time.

0:06:30 > 0:06:31I don't know how he got up there.

0:06:32 > 0:06:35There's only one person who can get him down.

0:06:35 > 0:06:37You are joking? This is a saga now.

0:06:37 > 0:06:40We need Jack, you know how close he is to his grandpa.

0:06:40 > 0:06:42It's too late.

0:06:42 > 0:06:43Jack's got a geography test tomorrow

0:06:43 > 0:06:45and I've got a ton of make-up to shift.

0:06:45 > 0:06:48Or do you want a garage full of unsold Bucks Fizz eyeshadow?

0:06:48 > 0:06:51I'm going to help Grandpa, Mum, it's up to you if you come or not.

0:06:51 > 0:06:53Well, let me get this off first.

0:06:55 > 0:06:57Come on, Mum!

0:06:58 > 0:07:00MUSICAL HORN BLARES

0:07:00 > 0:07:03MUSIC: Cars by Gary Numan

0:07:07 > 0:07:08What time do you call this?

0:07:08 > 0:07:10Mum, stop ruining everything for me.

0:07:10 > 0:07:12We will have words later, young lady.

0:07:12 > 0:07:14Are you Shelley's sister?

0:07:14 > 0:07:18No, silly, I'm her mum but I know, I look young for my age.

0:07:18 > 0:07:20And you must be...?

0:07:20 > 0:07:23Dazza, but I do often get mistaken for Simon Le Bon.

0:07:24 > 0:07:26Oh, yeah, I bet you do.

0:07:26 > 0:07:27Mum?

0:07:27 > 0:07:29I want you in bed in one minute.

0:07:29 > 0:07:31Goodnight, Mrs Shelley's mum.

0:07:32 > 0:07:34I can see you.

0:07:40 > 0:07:42HE IMITATES SIREN

0:07:42 > 0:07:45He's gone completely cuckoo.

0:07:45 > 0:07:46Oh, Jack, help him, please.

0:07:49 > 0:07:51What in St Peter's name is going on here?

0:07:52 > 0:07:55MUSIC: Theme from The Omen

0:07:56 > 0:07:58Get down off my roof, you vandal!

0:07:58 > 0:08:02Think you're a good shot, hey? We'll see about that!

0:08:02 > 0:08:05My father gets a little confused sometimes.

0:08:05 > 0:08:09Confused? He's certifiable. What if he falls off?

0:08:09 > 0:08:12I don't want to spend me morning scooping him up.

0:08:12 > 0:08:14You want us to fetch the air rifle, Reverend?

0:08:14 > 0:08:16- ALL: Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Yeah, that'll bring him down.

0:08:16 > 0:08:19- That worked for the pigeons, didn't it?- No, please, just wait.

0:08:21 > 0:08:23Wing Commander, this is base, over.

0:08:23 > 0:08:27What? this is Wing Commander, reading you loud and clear.

0:08:27 > 0:08:30Your mission has been a great success, return to base.

0:08:30 > 0:08:31Roger that!

0:08:39 > 0:08:42GRANDPA CHUCKLES

0:08:42 > 0:08:45Oh, hang on, hang on, he's going to fall...

0:08:49 > 0:08:51Oh. Well, I never.

0:08:57 > 0:08:59Fall out, men.

0:08:59 > 0:09:02Wing Commander, let me escort you to your transport,

0:09:02 > 0:09:04there's drinks in the officers' mess.

0:09:04 > 0:09:06Yeah, just the job, Squadron Leader.

0:09:06 > 0:09:07HE GROANS

0:09:07 > 0:09:09Oh, no, oh, no.

0:09:09 > 0:09:12No, no, I'm fine. Shouldn't have eaten that pickled egg.

0:09:15 > 0:09:17Poor soul.

0:09:17 > 0:09:22I do bring a lot of comfort to the old and the infirm of the parish.

0:09:22 > 0:09:24I'd love to help, if I could.

0:09:24 > 0:09:27We just want what's best for us, I mean - him.

0:09:27 > 0:09:30Yeah, I mean, there is the most wonderful care home nearby,

0:09:30 > 0:09:32Twilight Towers.

0:09:33 > 0:09:35RAVENS CAW

0:09:35 > 0:09:36I don't think he'd like that.

0:09:36 > 0:09:40Oh, no - it's heavenly, it's like Disneyland for coffin dodgers.

0:09:40 > 0:09:42THEY CHUCKLE

0:09:42 > 0:09:43Grandpa's not going in a home.

0:09:43 > 0:09:47Yeah, trouble is, it's very often very, very full.

0:09:47 > 0:09:48What a shame.

0:09:48 > 0:09:51But then, I have a very good relationship with Miss Dandy,

0:09:51 > 0:09:56what runs Twilight Towers, she just might be able to squeeze him in.

0:09:56 > 0:09:58- Perfect.- No!

0:09:58 > 0:10:01No, we need to discuss this as a family first.

0:10:01 > 0:10:04Might be too late but, yeah, of course.

0:10:04 > 0:10:06Oh, yeah, why don't you take with you this, er, colour

0:10:06 > 0:10:10brochure of Twilight Towers and this is for you, boy.

0:10:10 > 0:10:12They say it's a little...gonk.

0:10:12 > 0:10:14It's got googly eyes...

0:10:16 > 0:10:18..just like your grandad.

0:10:23 > 0:10:24That's lovely. Goodnight.

0:10:24 > 0:10:27Oh, goodnight, God bless you, God bless you, obviously.

0:10:33 > 0:10:34It looks lovely,

0:10:34 > 0:10:37it's more like a hotel than somewhere you get put to die.

0:10:37 > 0:10:42Charlady, this is the worst roast beef I have ever tasted.

0:10:42 > 0:10:44It's not roast beef,

0:10:44 > 0:10:47it's fish pie, and for the last time, I'm not your charlady.

0:10:49 > 0:10:52Your son has something to tell you.

0:10:55 > 0:10:57We had a new order of traffic cones in, they're reflective.

0:10:57 > 0:10:59Barry!

0:11:03 > 0:11:05You know we all love you very much?

0:11:06 > 0:11:08But the thing is, it...

0:11:10 > 0:11:12Spit it out, airman, choppity-chop.

0:11:12 > 0:11:15After what happened last week, we thought it might be best if...

0:11:15 > 0:11:18- If you came here to live with us. - You what?

0:11:18 > 0:11:20He could share my bedroom.

0:11:20 > 0:11:23- Well, we can't cope with him here. - Well, it's not a bad idea.

0:11:23 > 0:11:24Er, he'd better not hog the bathroom,

0:11:24 > 0:11:27- it takes me ages to crimp my hair in the mornings.- I'm sorry, but...

0:11:27 > 0:11:30I accept, though the catering had better improve.

0:11:31 > 0:11:33I'll tell the charlady.

0:11:40 > 0:11:42Where am I going, again?

0:11:42 > 0:11:45Our house, Dad. You're coming to live with us.

0:11:45 > 0:11:48On a trial basis.

0:11:48 > 0:11:51Yeah, I live here, Peggy won't know where I've got to.

0:11:53 > 0:11:55Son?

0:11:57 > 0:11:59Wing Commander...

0:11:59 > 0:12:01..due to enemy activity, the air commander wants you to

0:12:01 > 0:12:03lodge at alternative quarters.

0:12:03 > 0:12:05Why didn't they just say?

0:12:10 > 0:12:16Charity shop, sale, rubbish, rubbish, rubbish, rub...

0:12:16 > 0:12:18This is not rubbish.

0:12:19 > 0:12:23Wing Commander? Let me take you to the tuck shop.

0:12:23 > 0:12:25Oh, jolly good.

0:12:29 > 0:12:30BELL RINGS

0:12:30 > 0:12:36Ah-ha, my two favourite customers, Mr Bumting and Master Bumting.

0:12:36 > 0:12:37It's Bunting.

0:12:37 > 0:12:39Bumting, like I said.

0:12:39 > 0:12:41Hello there, Quartermaster.

0:12:41 > 0:12:45I have very special offer for today, 15 cans of...

0:12:47 > 0:12:50..Quatro - for the price of 14.

0:12:50 > 0:12:52Er, no thanks.

0:12:52 > 0:12:56What has a hazelnut in every bite? Topic!

0:12:57 > 0:13:01Or any of these other bars which melted in the window with it.

0:13:02 > 0:13:04I'm quite partial to a Smartie.

0:13:04 > 0:13:09Those I have, both - traditional and limited edition green ones.

0:13:09 > 0:13:11Really, they're mouldy Revels.

0:13:11 > 0:13:13Er, standard issue will be fine.

0:13:13 > 0:13:15Er, you will find them

0:13:15 > 0:13:18under the puzzle magazines next to the correcting fluid.

0:13:23 > 0:13:25You look troubled, Master Bumting.

0:13:26 > 0:13:28Grandpa's coming to live with us.

0:13:28 > 0:13:30Splendid.

0:13:30 > 0:13:33I just, I worry about whether it'll work out.

0:13:33 > 0:13:38Do not fret, Indian families always take in the older generation,

0:13:38 > 0:13:42it works without fail, even when Auntie Pia sings Wham Rap

0:13:42 > 0:13:46at the top of her voice when I'm trying to watch the snooker.

0:13:49 > 0:13:54Either Grandpa comes to live with us or he'll be sent to Twilight Towers.

0:13:56 > 0:13:58Oh, no.

0:13:58 > 0:13:59What?

0:13:59 > 0:14:03Oh, no, no. I've heard very bad things about Twilight Towers.

0:14:03 > 0:14:07- What?- They say the only way out of that place is...

0:14:08 > 0:14:10..in a coffin.

0:14:14 > 0:14:17# Do you really want to hurt me... #

0:14:17 > 0:14:19What a fine-looking woman.

0:14:21 > 0:14:23We can't leave him in the house on his own.

0:14:23 > 0:14:25No.

0:14:25 > 0:14:26Well, what are we going to do?

0:14:26 > 0:14:29Tomorrow's the launch of the Country Diary Of An Edwardian Lady

0:14:29 > 0:14:30roll-on deodorant.

0:14:30 > 0:14:32Well, I've got a really big day at work tomorrow,

0:14:32 > 0:14:35I've got to test all the new traffic cones.

0:14:35 > 0:14:37- Have I ever told you how I judge them?- Many times.

0:14:37 > 0:14:39Durability, colour, attractive shape.

0:14:39 > 0:14:41Why did I marry you?

0:14:41 > 0:14:44- Jack, you're going on a school trip tomorrow?- Yep.

0:14:44 > 0:14:47Well, you'll have to take Grandpa with you. Where are you going?

0:14:47 > 0:14:49- War museum.- Perfect.

0:14:49 > 0:14:52You can take him along. He loves a bit of war.

0:14:56 > 0:14:58Fine replicas, Squadron Leader.

0:15:00 > 0:15:01I wish they were real.

0:15:01 > 0:15:04The Spitfire's like nothing else,

0:15:04 > 0:15:06you can turn on a sixpence.

0:15:06 > 0:15:08Grandpa? When you...

0:15:22 > 0:15:26I hope you don't snore, I can't abide snorers.

0:15:26 > 0:15:29- I don't think I do. - Well, goodnight, Squadron Leader

0:15:29 > 0:15:33and thank you for sharing your quarters, very decent of you.

0:16:27 > 0:16:30we will not have a repeat of the tomfoolery at the zoo...

0:16:30 > 0:16:34I don't want to find a live penguin in Gavin Macey's rucksack!

0:16:34 > 0:16:35Got that?

0:16:35 > 0:16:37Good.

0:16:37 > 0:16:39You're not in year six, why are you here?

0:16:39 > 0:16:40He's my grandpa, Miss.

0:16:40 > 0:16:42Yeah, I can surmise that.

0:16:42 > 0:16:44He was a Spitfire pilot in the war.

0:16:45 > 0:16:48Well, if he promises to be educational, he can come.

0:16:48 > 0:16:49Thank you, Miss.

0:16:49 > 0:16:51Now, everyone has a questionnaire...

0:16:51 > 0:16:53ALL GROAN

0:16:53 > 0:16:55And nobody is allowed in the gift shop

0:16:55 > 0:16:59until it has been filled out and that is a fact, am I clear?

0:16:59 > 0:17:02ALL: Yes, Miss Verity.

0:17:03 > 0:17:06Good. And here's yours, coach driver. Neatest handwriting, please.

0:17:06 > 0:17:10Right, everyone off, please, no talking, no laughing, no dawdling.

0:17:15 > 0:17:17Oi, you lot, don't climb on the tanks.

0:17:17 > 0:17:19I've been here before.

0:17:19 > 0:17:23Yes, you have, many times. You took me, Grandpa, do you remember?

0:17:23 > 0:17:27What's my Spitfire doing hanging from the ceiling?

0:17:27 > 0:17:29- What's wrong with your grandad? - Nothing.

0:17:29 > 0:17:32These, these pilots are very young.

0:17:33 > 0:17:35New recruits.

0:17:35 > 0:17:36Ah.

0:17:36 > 0:17:38Oh, I see.

0:17:44 > 0:17:47How are you getting on? Are you stuck?

0:17:47 > 0:17:50The stupid answer's not on the stupid board.

0:17:50 > 0:17:53I can help you with that. I was there.

0:17:53 > 0:17:57You see, the Nazis wanted to bomb the life out of us,

0:17:57 > 0:18:00so they could invade and take us over.

0:18:00 > 0:18:03Herr Hitler sent huge squadrons of Junkers

0:18:03 > 0:18:08and Messerschmitts over the coast, the sky was black with them.

0:18:08 > 0:18:10AIRCRAFT DRONE

0:18:10 > 0:18:14RAF pilots had to stop the Nazi bombers from getting through -

0:18:14 > 0:18:16we were young and frightened, not,

0:18:16 > 0:18:19well, not that much older than you are.

0:18:19 > 0:18:23My squadron was the first to be scrambled up, up and away.

0:18:23 > 0:18:26I pushed my Spitfire past 300mph.

0:18:26 > 0:18:28Wow.

0:18:28 > 0:18:33It... You see, they outnumbered us, oh, four to one,

0:18:33 > 0:18:38so to stand any chance, we had to get above them before they got here.

0:18:39 > 0:18:42We waited up there until the enemy were so close

0:18:42 > 0:18:46we could see the swastikas on their tails and then I gave the order...

0:18:46 > 0:18:50..DIVE!

0:18:53 > 0:18:54SHE CLEARS THROAT

0:18:54 > 0:18:57When did all this happen, exactly?

0:18:57 > 0:18:59Sorry?

0:18:59 > 0:19:04The children need dates for the exam. Facts, facts and more facts.

0:19:04 > 0:19:06Facts are all that matter.

0:19:06 > 0:19:09Oh, well it was, er, yeah, last Monday.

0:19:09 > 0:19:11ALL CHUCKLE

0:19:11 > 0:19:13I hardly think so!

0:19:13 > 0:19:17No, no, oh, no, no, sorry - I tell a lie, er, last, er, last Sunday.

0:19:17 > 0:19:19All right, settle down, everyone.

0:19:19 > 0:19:22The Battle of Britain was not last Sunday, it took place

0:19:22 > 0:19:26between July and October 1940, make a note of that, class.

0:19:26 > 0:19:28That's what I'm saying!

0:19:28 > 0:19:31Jack, I'm sure your grandfather means well

0:19:31 > 0:19:35but he is a very old and confused man.

0:19:35 > 0:19:37Hey, maybe he did do something during the war,

0:19:37 > 0:19:40but I very much doubt that he was a Spitfire pilot.

0:19:40 > 0:19:42He was.

0:19:42 > 0:19:44Can I have a word? In private.

0:19:54 > 0:19:58You grandfather is not welcome on any more school trips.

0:19:58 > 0:19:59But Miss!

0:19:59 > 0:20:01That is a fact.

0:20:03 > 0:20:05Right, class, this way, please!

0:20:05 > 0:20:07Turn to question 98 in your questionnaire...

0:20:14 > 0:20:15Grandpa?

0:20:19 > 0:20:22- Grandpa!- Psst!

0:20:23 > 0:20:25Up here, Squadron Leader.

0:20:28 > 0:20:30What are you doing up there?

0:20:30 > 0:20:33Looking for my log book, I wanted to prove that awful woman wrong.

0:20:33 > 0:20:36It's wonderful to be back in my plane again,

0:20:36 > 0:20:39they won't mind if I took her for a spin, would they?

0:20:39 > 0:20:41Um, I think they might.

0:20:41 > 0:20:43Oi, what are you playing at?

0:20:43 > 0:20:45Look out, it's the SS.

0:20:59 > 0:21:01I can't take him down, he's ginormous.

0:22:09 > 0:22:13You didn't and you never will.

0:22:15 > 0:22:18Mum, Dad, you can't let Grandpa be thrown into prison.

0:22:18 > 0:22:20Well, it's not up to us, the police told us what happened.

0:22:50 > 0:22:53at the police station but might you,

0:22:53 > 0:22:57as a huge favour to me, be able to squeeze him in to Twilight Towers?

0:24:14 > 0:24:17No, Jack, he'll be too busy in his new place.

0:24:17 > 0:24:19All those baskets to weave.

0:24:20 > 0:24:23Shelley tells me you work at the garage?

0:24:23 > 0:24:26Yeah, I used to be YTS but they took me on full time

0:24:26 > 0:24:29because an Austin Princess fell on Mark Lansom's leg!

0:24:29 > 0:24:30Oh, that was a stroke of luck.

0:24:30 > 0:24:34So, don't tell me, you must be a model.

0:24:34 > 0:24:38No, but I have been known to grace the cover of the Avon brochure.

0:24:38 > 0:24:40Mum!

0:24:40 > 0:24:43Oh, you'll have to give me one.

0:24:43 > 0:24:46I'll stick it on the wall at work, next to Linda Lusardi.

0:24:46 > 0:24:48Absolutely not!

0:24:52 > 0:24:56- Oi, Barry, do us a favour. - What?

0:24:56 > 0:24:58Get rid of all the traffic cones between my gaff and work!

0:25:00 > 0:25:03That would be against the traffic cone code of conduct.

0:25:03 > 0:25:05I bet that's interesting reading!

0:25:13 > 0:25:15Ah.

0:25:15 > 0:25:18How do we know if Grandpa's too busy?

0:25:19 > 0:25:21He needs a rest, love.

0:25:21 > 0:25:25We didn't want to tell you, son, but Grandpa has a...

0:25:26 > 0:25:27..weak heart.

0:25:30 > 0:25:32But...he's going to be all right?

0:25:37 > 0:25:38I do kung fu.

0:27:43 > 0:27:46and now he'll be having his super snooze.

0:27:46 > 0:27:49Is he all right? We're really close.

0:27:49 > 0:27:52Really? Because he hasn't mentioned you.

0:27:52 > 0:27:53Nurse Blossom, Nurse Rose,

0:27:53 > 0:27:56has Mr Bunting mentioned his grandson at all?

0:27:56 > 0:27:57BOTH: Nah.

0:29:52 > 0:29:55I mean, we can't be sure how much time they've got left.

0:29:55 > 0:29:58Which reminds me, did you bring Mr Bunting's documentation,

0:29:58 > 0:30:00the passport, the driving licence, the will?

0:30:00 > 0:30:03Yes, yes, of course.

0:30:03 > 0:30:05Put them all in the study with the rest of them, please.

0:30:08 > 0:30:12Well, what a lovely visit, we'll see you again in two weeks.

0:30:12 > 0:30:13Where's Grandpa?

0:30:13 > 0:30:16He's very, very tired, he didn't want to see you.

0:30:16 > 0:30:18I don't believe you.

0:30:18 > 0:30:20Nurse Blossom!

0:30:21 > 0:30:23Will you fetch Mr Bunting?

0:30:26 > 0:30:29You're a very demanding boy.

0:30:35 > 0:30:37Dad?

0:30:40 > 0:30:41Dad?

0:30:41 > 0:30:43Are you there?

0:30:43 > 0:30:46We bought you a soap on a rope.

0:30:48 > 0:30:51- I've got your favourite sweets. - Oh, he's fast asleep, bless.

0:30:53 > 0:30:55What have they done to you?

0:30:57 > 0:31:01Um, I think I might take Grandpa out into the garden,

0:31:01 > 0:31:04the air might perk him up a little bit.

0:31:11 > 0:31:12All clear, Wing Commander.

0:31:12 > 0:31:16Sorry about that, Squadron Leader, er, I'll have those now.

0:31:16 > 0:31:19Er, had to pretend to be asleep, the guards here in Colditz,

0:31:19 > 0:31:21they force feed us sleeping pills.

0:31:26 > 0:31:29We get given them morning and night.

0:31:34 > 0:31:37Luckily, I managed to hide mine under my moustache.

0:31:37 > 0:31:40Three nights ago, I undertook a reconnaissance mission.

0:31:40 > 0:31:46I saw the Kommandant doing something very strange with a pile of papers.

0:31:46 > 0:31:50I leave all my worldly goods to...

0:31:51 > 0:31:55She must be forging the wills, taking all the money.

0:31:57 > 0:31:59Then I found a room with valuables in it.

0:32:03 > 0:32:04And a number of coffins.

0:32:07 > 0:32:10Could there be some mysterious connection?

0:32:11 > 0:32:13I'm not sure it's that mysterious.

0:32:13 > 0:32:16Well, since then, they've increased the patrols.

0:32:16 > 0:32:18FOOTSTEPS THUD

0:32:18 > 0:32:19We have to break you out.

0:32:19 > 0:32:22Too right, we do, but the trouble is they're suspicious,

0:32:22 > 0:32:25they've increased my sleeping pill dose as well,

0:32:25 > 0:32:28my moustache isn't big enough to hide them all, look, see,

0:32:28 > 0:32:30they're like sweets, they don't taste as nice.

0:32:32 > 0:32:35Then why not take these instead? You could switch them.

0:32:36 > 0:32:39Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, genius.

0:32:39 > 0:32:43Raj had a special offer, 11 tubes for the price of 12.

0:32:43 > 0:32:46Yes, you're going to have to work on your maths, Squadron Leader.

0:32:46 > 0:32:49- No, these are just the ticket. - What else do you need?

0:32:49 > 0:32:52Well, any escape attempt requires string, lots of string.

0:32:52 > 0:32:54String.

0:32:54 > 0:32:55Do you have a Browning revolver?

0:32:55 > 0:32:57- Er, no.- Arsenic?- I don't think so.

0:32:57 > 0:32:59- Flame-thrower?- Tricky.

0:32:59 > 0:33:02Then, just make sure you've plenty of string.

0:33:02 > 0:33:04More string. When will we do it?

0:33:04 > 0:33:07Well, I've to finish my map, compile a weather report

0:33:07 > 0:33:10and I'm halfway through a jigsaw of Big Ben at twilight.

0:33:10 > 0:33:12There's quite a lot of sky to fill in.

0:33:14 > 0:33:16Tomorrow night?

0:33:16 > 0:33:21Now, Squadron Leader, are you sure you volunteer for this mission?

0:33:21 > 0:33:23It will be dangerous.
