0:00:10 > 0:00:11Right, you lot, out you get!

0:00:11 > 0:00:13Come on!

0:00:13 > 0:00:15You said we were going somewhere great!

0:00:15 > 0:00:18"Great" means a theme park with a log flume.

0:00:18 > 0:00:20No, it means going fishing.

0:00:20 > 0:00:23Well, there you are. It doesn't matter where I choose, does it?

0:00:23 > 0:00:25I'm never going to make you all happy.

0:00:25 > 0:00:28So this time, you decided to disappoint us all

0:00:28 > 0:00:31with a boring old tour of a boring old house.

0:00:31 > 0:00:33Can't believe Faith got out of this.

0:00:33 > 0:00:34She'd entered that athletics competition

0:00:34 > 0:00:36ages before we booked this.

0:00:36 > 0:00:39I like it. I want a house like this one day.

0:00:39 > 0:00:41Yeah, like that will ever happen!

0:00:41 > 0:00:44- I wonder who actually lives here? - Maybe a pop star lives here!

0:00:44 > 0:00:46He doesn't look like a pop star.

0:00:46 > 0:00:49Welcome to Hiddon Hall!

0:00:49 > 0:00:5154 rooms, 600 acres,

0:00:51 > 0:00:53and at least four ghosts...

0:00:53 > 0:00:55Don't worry, they're all friendly.

0:00:55 > 0:00:57Come on! We've got a lot to do.

0:00:57 > 0:01:00THEY MURMUR

0:01:16 > 0:01:19This room, all the rooms,

0:01:19 > 0:01:23are virtually how they would have looked in the Edwardian times,

0:01:23 > 0:01:26around 1901 to 1914,

0:01:26 > 0:01:28the hall's heyday.

0:01:28 > 0:01:29Everything you see is genuine

0:01:29 > 0:01:32and some of the items are worth thousands.

0:01:32 > 0:01:33There's nothing in there.

0:01:33 > 0:01:37So if you break that, you'll be paying for it for a very long time!

0:01:37 > 0:01:41Um... Is this river near here?

0:01:41 > 0:01:43Runs through the grounds.

0:01:43 > 0:01:46But you'll be too busy to go fishing.

0:01:46 > 0:01:47Doing what?

0:01:47 > 0:01:49Follow me and find out.

0:01:49 > 0:01:50Come along!

0:01:51 > 0:01:55All these photos are of people who lived here,

0:01:55 > 0:01:58aristocrats and servants, during Edwardian times.

0:01:58 > 0:02:00Didn't smile much, did they?

0:02:00 > 0:02:02So who owned the place?

0:02:02 > 0:02:03The Earl of Hiddon.

0:02:03 > 0:02:05There have been many down the years,

0:02:05 > 0:02:09but, during the early 1900s, it was that chap up there.

0:02:09 > 0:02:10The sixth Earl.

0:02:10 > 0:02:15We're particularly proud of that portrait after having it restored.

0:02:15 > 0:02:17Cost thousands.

0:02:17 > 0:02:19What? I hate these places

0:02:19 > 0:02:22full of boring antiques that everybody make a fuss about.

0:02:22 > 0:02:24You're jealous cos you'll never have a house like this.

0:02:24 > 0:02:26What? And you will? Dream on!

0:02:26 > 0:02:28Be quiet and pay attention!

0:02:28 > 0:02:31..or even the odd royal needing a bed for the night.

0:02:31 > 0:02:35And all of them served by these people in the photographs.

0:02:35 > 0:02:39The Earl's army of footmen, maids and cooks.

0:02:39 > 0:02:40Like him.

0:02:40 > 0:02:43In this hat are the names of the people in those photos.

0:02:43 > 0:02:45Even the Earl himself.

0:02:45 > 0:02:49Everyone takes a name, at random,

0:02:49 > 0:02:52and that's who'll they'll be for the rest of the day.

0:02:52 > 0:02:53That's cool.

0:02:53 > 0:02:56- Why?- So you can understand history better,

0:02:56 > 0:02:59see what life would have been like if you were born 100 years ago.

0:02:59 > 0:03:01We'll just ask Gina, she'll tell us.

0:03:01 > 0:03:02THEY LAUGH

0:03:02 > 0:03:03Mm...

0:03:03 > 0:03:05You lot running this place...

0:03:05 > 0:03:08You know what, looking at you now, I'm not so sure.

0:03:08 > 0:03:10We're just as good as anyone else!

0:03:10 > 0:03:14Oh! You could go a day without your precious phones,

0:03:14 > 0:03:16internet, fast food?

0:03:16 > 0:03:18Your rights and free time?

0:03:18 > 0:03:22Yes, definitely. Us lot can handle better than anybody else.

0:03:22 > 0:03:24Then, you'd better pick some names.

0:03:24 > 0:03:27OK, me first! I might be an Edwardian lady!

0:03:41 > 0:03:45This is the worst day of my life.

0:03:45 > 0:03:47Ha! You look fantastic!

0:03:47 > 0:03:50- Ready for the day ahead?- No.

0:03:50 > 0:03:53Listen, George, this isn't me, see?

0:03:53 > 0:03:56I should be upstairs, you know, wearing all the glamorous clothes.

0:03:56 > 0:03:58But you're a scullery maid.

0:03:58 > 0:04:02Accidentally! Look, can't I just switch? Be with my friends?

0:04:02 > 0:04:05But they're not your friends. Don't you see?

0:04:05 > 0:04:09To talk to servants about anything other than house matters

0:04:09 > 0:04:11would have been embarrassing.

0:04:11 > 0:04:15Here are your duties for the morning.

0:04:16 > 0:04:18"Set the table for dinner."

0:04:18 > 0:04:21"Pick herbs for the kitchen."

0:04:21 > 0:04:24"Clean out the fireplace." Do we actually have to do this?

0:04:24 > 0:04:28Of course you do. They're your jobs.

0:04:28 > 0:04:30Now, where's...Elektra?

0:04:30 > 0:04:33Why, Miss Kettle, I do believe you look quite exquisite.

0:04:33 > 0:04:36As do you, Miss Taylor. As do you.

0:04:37 > 0:04:42Ladies, your challenges for the day.

0:04:45 > 0:04:49This is Rachel, she is an expert in Edwardian etiquette.

0:04:49 > 0:04:51She'll tell you what to do.

0:04:51 > 0:04:53"Learn how to be polite Edwardian ladies,

0:04:53 > 0:04:56"in the hope of marrying the Earl's son, the heir to Hiddon Hall."

0:04:56 > 0:04:58I am not getting married.

0:04:58 > 0:05:00- Good for you.- You must.

0:05:00 > 0:05:03It was vital to an Edwardian lady.

0:05:03 > 0:05:07To preserve your status, you had to marry an aristocrat,

0:05:07 > 0:05:11preferably one with a fancy title and a big stately home.

0:05:11 > 0:05:15If you remained single, everyone thought you were odd.

0:05:15 > 0:05:16The men, that is.

0:05:16 > 0:05:18Who cares what they think? We're rich, ain't we?

0:05:18 > 0:05:21Only through your family's wealth. Ladies didn't work...

0:05:21 > 0:05:24- Ha!- In the way that we think of work.

0:05:24 > 0:05:26They couldn't even vote.

0:05:26 > 0:05:28- Well, that's not fair!- Exactly.

0:05:28 > 0:05:31But it soon changed afterwards.

0:05:31 > 0:05:35Haven't you read about the women who fought for the vote? Suffragettes?

0:05:35 > 0:05:37- Rachel.- Yeah.

0:05:37 > 0:05:39That's what we should do. Fight for women's rights.

0:05:39 > 0:05:43Instead of marrying someone just so we can keep wearing fancy clothes.

0:05:45 > 0:05:47But wouldn't change be easier

0:05:47 > 0:05:52if you were married to a politician or a man of power?

0:05:52 > 0:05:56So you could whisper a few good ideas in their ears?

0:05:56 > 0:05:58("Votes for women.")

0:06:00 > 0:06:03- OK. We need to get married. - Yeah, definitely.

0:06:04 > 0:06:09Home-made soup, roast dinner, apple pie.

0:06:09 > 0:06:10We've got to make all this?!

0:06:10 > 0:06:14Of course. You're the head cook and Rick is the kitchen hand.

0:06:14 > 0:06:16Oh, great.

0:06:16 > 0:06:19But there's just one tiny problem - we can't cook!

0:06:19 > 0:06:20We're never going to make all this.

0:06:20 > 0:06:23You won't if you stand around moaning! Now, come on!

0:06:23 > 0:06:26Hold on... Where is the microwave?!

0:06:31 > 0:06:33I could get used to this, Harry.

0:06:33 > 0:06:35Look like a gentleman, feel like a gentleman.

0:06:35 > 0:06:37Don't pull at this!

0:06:37 > 0:06:40- You need to look smart, yeah!- Why?

0:06:40 > 0:06:42Because I'm the Earl and you're my son!

0:06:42 > 0:06:44What is an Earl?

0:06:44 > 0:06:48Um...someone who's in charge. And who's really important.

0:06:48 > 0:06:49So you're like Mike?

0:06:49 > 0:06:52More important than Mike.

0:06:52 > 0:06:54The Earl is owner of the hall.

0:06:54 > 0:06:57In charge of all affairs, all his servants,

0:06:57 > 0:06:59and he has to make sure

0:06:59 > 0:07:02that his family conduct themselves properly.

0:07:02 > 0:07:04- See?- Most important of all,

0:07:04 > 0:07:07the Earl must ensure the future of the estate.

0:07:07 > 0:07:09Think you can manage that?

0:07:09 > 0:07:10Uh...

0:07:10 > 0:07:12Great houses need two things to survive.

0:07:12 > 0:07:15Lots of money, and heirs.

0:07:15 > 0:07:16In order to get both,

0:07:16 > 0:07:20you have to make sure your son, Harry here, marries a rich lady.

0:07:20 > 0:07:24You mean persuade one of the girls to marry Harry?

0:07:24 > 0:07:26I don't think I can.

0:07:26 > 0:07:29I mean, people don't always listen to me.

0:07:29 > 0:07:30Then, today you must make them.

0:07:30 > 0:07:33Show everyone that you're in charge.

0:07:33 > 0:07:36They have to respect you, look up to you.

0:07:36 > 0:07:37Are you up to that challenge?

0:07:37 > 0:07:38I think so.

0:07:38 > 0:07:40No "think" about it.

0:07:40 > 0:07:41You have to be sure.

0:07:41 > 0:07:45Feel as grand and magnificent as you look.

0:07:45 > 0:07:49Now, take a deep breath and say, "I am the Earl."

0:07:51 > 0:07:52I am the Earl.

0:07:52 > 0:07:54Again, but like you mean it.

0:07:54 > 0:07:56I am the Earl.

0:07:56 > 0:07:58Better! Again!

0:07:58 > 0:07:59I am the Earl!

0:07:59 > 0:08:03That's the spirit, I think you're ready to meet your first servant.

0:08:03 > 0:08:05Milligan!

0:08:07 > 0:08:10Your tasks for the day, my lord.

0:08:10 > 0:08:11You're my butler? Wicked!

0:08:11 > 0:08:13HE CLEARS HIS THROAT

0:08:13 > 0:08:16Uh, I mean...very good, Milligan.

0:08:16 > 0:08:17Very good.

0:08:23 > 0:08:24Off!

0:08:24 > 0:08:26Off, off!

0:08:26 > 0:08:29Prince Albert slept in that bed!

0:08:29 > 0:08:31It's priceless.

0:08:31 > 0:08:34Oh, no! There's a wrinkle in the sheets. It's ruined!

0:08:34 > 0:08:37This room is clearly marked out-of-bounds.

0:08:37 > 0:08:39It says so on the door.

0:08:39 > 0:08:42Aren't I supposed to be an Edwardian servant?

0:08:42 > 0:08:45Who's to say I can read? Not my fault.

0:08:45 > 0:08:47I'll handle this.

0:08:47 > 0:08:48I'm very proud of this house.

0:08:50 > 0:08:51SHE CHUCKLES

0:08:51 > 0:08:53What a loser.

0:08:53 > 0:08:54Why aren't you in costume?

0:08:54 > 0:08:59Why aren't I playing Edwardian dress-up? Gee, that's a tough one.

0:08:59 > 0:09:00What's the point of all this?

0:09:00 > 0:09:02Some of the others are really getting into it.

0:09:02 > 0:09:04If you showed an interest, the rest might follow.

0:09:04 > 0:09:07Flattery. Nice try, but I'm still not dressing up.

0:09:09 > 0:09:12If I let you into a little secret about today,

0:09:12 > 0:09:15and you solemnly promise not to tell the others, will you join in then?

0:09:15 > 0:09:18Depends on what the secret is.

0:09:18 > 0:09:22"You must be the perfect hosts and entertain your guests at a dance

0:09:22 > 0:09:26"that will take place, followed by a celebratory luncheon at 2pm,

0:09:26 > 0:09:29"where, hopefully, the Earl will announce the engagement."

0:09:29 > 0:09:30You got that?

0:09:30 > 0:09:33Two o'clock? But I'm hungry now.

0:09:33 > 0:09:34Tough.

0:09:34 > 0:09:37We need to start practising this, so that you can bag a wife.

0:09:38 > 0:09:40OK, so erm...

0:09:40 > 0:09:43Let's pretend that I'm a lady and you're trying to impress me

0:09:43 > 0:09:47with your "sparkling and witty conversation."

0:09:47 > 0:09:48OK, are you ready?

0:09:48 > 0:09:50HE CLEARS HIS THROAT

0:09:50 > 0:09:52Go on!

0:09:52 > 0:09:53I'm Harry.

0:09:53 > 0:09:55Oh, come on, it has to be more interesting than that.

0:09:55 > 0:09:57I want a sandwich.

0:09:57 > 0:09:58Well, you can't have one yet!

0:09:58 > 0:10:00Why not? You're the Earl!

0:10:00 > 0:10:02You can get us anything we want.

0:10:10 > 0:10:13BELL TINKLES

0:10:13 > 0:10:15You must learn the secret language of hand fans

0:10:15 > 0:10:17and grapple with the Grizzly Bear.

0:10:20 > 0:10:22It's the name of a dance.

0:10:23 > 0:10:26So we're dancing and having fun,

0:10:26 > 0:10:29while poor Carmen's downstairs dusting and cleaning out fireplaces.

0:10:29 > 0:10:31Yeah, but we're doing this for her, aren't we?

0:10:31 > 0:10:33For women's rights?

0:10:33 > 0:10:36Yeah. But that doesn't help her today, does it?

0:10:36 > 0:10:38Unless...

0:10:38 > 0:10:39She joins in.

0:10:41 > 0:10:43A bell for each room of the house.

0:10:43 > 0:10:46When one sounds, you have to drop what you're doing

0:10:46 > 0:10:48and rush to see what your betters want.

0:10:48 > 0:10:50Or we could just ignore them.

0:10:50 > 0:10:52Yeah, what's the worst that could happen?

0:10:52 > 0:10:53You'd be dismissed.

0:10:53 > 0:10:56So you'd be homeless, penniless,

0:10:56 > 0:10:59and without anyone else in the world.

0:10:59 > 0:11:02I'm going to go and see what they want.

0:11:02 > 0:11:05Frank, why are you not out collecting herbs?

0:11:05 > 0:11:08Don't have any gardening tools.

0:11:08 > 0:11:10Then go and find some!

0:11:10 > 0:11:12Jody, go and set the table!

0:11:12 > 0:11:13I'm not doing it!

0:11:13 > 0:11:15I'm the boss. I decide!

0:11:15 > 0:11:18Stop! Now, start on those chickens!

0:11:18 > 0:11:20They will not bite you!

0:11:20 > 0:11:23I shouldn't be doing the yucky jobs, I'm head cook.

0:11:24 > 0:11:27Then you should lead by example!

0:11:27 > 0:11:31Like the celebrity chefs do on TV.

0:11:31 > 0:11:34How do you think they got all those restaurants and money, huh?

0:11:48 > 0:11:52Celebrity chefs? Look, you can't even peel potatoes properly.

0:11:52 > 0:11:54Like Gina said, I've got to start somewhere.

0:11:54 > 0:11:56Right?

0:12:04 > 0:12:07Go and fetch us some peanut butter and chocolate sandwiches.

0:12:07 > 0:12:10Did they even have peanut butter in Edwardian times?

0:12:10 > 0:12:12Not sure... So go and find out!

0:12:12 > 0:12:14Then, come back and tell us.

0:12:14 > 0:12:16You want to be nicer to me, Johnny.

0:12:20 > 0:12:22Come on, Lily, you didn't turn!

0:12:22 > 0:12:24I thought Carmen was a servant.

0:12:24 > 0:12:26She is.

0:12:26 > 0:12:28Stay there. Continue learning your manners.

0:12:32 > 0:12:34And again...

0:12:34 > 0:12:36No, seriously! And...

0:12:36 > 0:12:39Put your hand up... And turn!

0:12:39 > 0:12:42- Again! Look!- And turn!

0:12:42 > 0:12:44- Put your hand up!- OK.- Turn!

0:12:44 > 0:12:46THEY CHUCKLE

0:12:46 > 0:12:47What's going on?!

0:12:47 > 0:12:51It's called the Grizzly Bear. Rachel's teaching us it for later.

0:12:51 > 0:12:53She's a servant. She can't join in.

0:12:53 > 0:12:54It's not up to you.

0:12:54 > 0:12:56Er, yes, it is!

0:12:56 > 0:12:59I'm the Earl, I'm in charge and what I say goes!

0:13:01 > 0:13:04Strictly speaking, he's right.

0:13:05 > 0:13:07I hate being Edwardian!

0:13:15 > 0:13:16Carmen, hey, what's the matter?

0:13:16 > 0:13:19Johnny! Bossing people around!

0:13:22 > 0:13:25George, George! Can I have a word?

0:13:25 > 0:13:27Butlers never run.

0:13:27 > 0:13:28Well, quite...

0:13:30 > 0:13:32But there's no kids around to see me.

0:13:32 > 0:13:35I was talking to Carmen, one of the servant girls,

0:13:35 > 0:13:38and apparently Johnny stopped her from dancing with the others.

0:13:38 > 0:13:40That's his job, his role.

0:13:40 > 0:13:41I'm just a bit worried

0:13:41 > 0:13:45that the downstairs kids are finding it too unfair,

0:13:45 > 0:13:47- upsetting even.- Good.

0:13:47 > 0:13:50The best way for children to learn about the class system

0:13:50 > 0:13:53is for them to experience the injustice of it.

0:13:53 > 0:13:54Immersion.

0:13:54 > 0:13:56But if we told them they were switching after lunch,

0:13:56 > 0:13:58it'd stop the friction.

0:13:58 > 0:13:59The whole day would be ruined.

0:13:59 > 0:14:01Not necessarily. I've told Elektra...

0:14:01 > 0:14:02You told one of them?!

0:14:02 > 0:14:04As a result, she's even more involved.

0:14:04 > 0:14:08Yes, because now she's doing the tasks for her own ends.

0:14:08 > 0:14:12She isn't joining in the spirit of the day, she isn't learning,

0:14:12 > 0:14:13experiencing.

0:14:13 > 0:14:16I just don't like seeing my lot upset.

0:14:16 > 0:14:20They're not the same as the school groups that you normally get here.

0:14:20 > 0:14:22They all live together.

0:14:22 > 0:14:25If there's even a whiff of unfairness, of favouritism...

0:14:25 > 0:14:29Everything is fine. I know what I'm doing.

0:14:29 > 0:14:30Finished!

0:14:35 > 0:14:38Have you finished setting the table already? Why, Jody, that's...

0:14:40 > 0:14:42That's not quite the way it's done.

0:14:43 > 0:14:47The Edwardians were a little more particular.

0:14:47 > 0:14:48Here.

0:14:50 > 0:14:51See?

0:14:53 > 0:14:55Every knife, every fork, every glass

0:14:55 > 0:14:56has an exact place it must go.

0:14:56 > 0:14:58You even have to measure

0:14:58 > 0:15:00the distance between the cutlery and the plates.

0:15:00 > 0:15:02That's dumb. Why bother?

0:15:02 > 0:15:06A correctly set table was expected and admired.

0:15:06 > 0:15:09It needed great skill and determination,

0:15:09 > 0:15:12not to mention creativity.

0:15:12 > 0:15:16See, how they even had to fan the napkins.

0:15:16 > 0:15:20But perhaps we should give the task to an older member of staff.

0:15:20 > 0:15:21I'm old enough!

0:15:26 > 0:15:28Good day, welcome to my house.

0:15:28 > 0:15:29No...

0:15:31 > 0:15:33Good day, welcome to Hiddon Hall.

0:15:33 > 0:15:36I am the Earl, and this is my son, Harry.

0:15:38 > 0:15:41Oh, Harry! Look at the state of you!

0:15:41 > 0:15:43You can't meet ladies looking like that!

0:15:43 > 0:15:45You're supposed to be my son!

0:15:51 > 0:15:53Move out of my way!

0:15:53 > 0:15:55You're wasting your time. You'll never get this all done.

0:15:55 > 0:15:58I did it! I actually made pastry!

0:15:58 > 0:16:01See what you can do when you put your mind to it?

0:16:01 > 0:16:03Wait! That's wrong.

0:16:03 > 0:16:05It says we have to cover it in thyme and parsley.

0:16:05 > 0:16:08Frank's not got the herbs. There's no time for thyme.

0:16:08 > 0:16:10I want to do this properly!

0:16:10 > 0:16:13So you want me to go downstairs to get a dustpan and brush

0:16:13 > 0:16:16and then come back upstairs, just so I can pick up a few crumbs?

0:16:16 > 0:16:18Isn't that what I just said?

0:16:18 > 0:16:20Forget it! Do it yourself!

0:16:20 > 0:16:22Such tasks are beneath me.

0:16:22 > 0:16:24They're more for people of your class and intelligence.

0:16:24 > 0:16:26Problem, my lord?

0:16:26 > 0:16:28Just one of the maids forgetting her manners.

0:16:28 > 0:16:30Nothing I can't handle.

0:16:31 > 0:16:32Correct?

0:16:34 > 0:16:36Of course, my lord. Leave it with me.

0:16:36 > 0:16:38Oh, and before you go...

0:16:38 > 0:16:40Yes, my lord?

0:16:40 > 0:16:42Clean that butter from Harry's shoe.

0:17:03 > 0:17:04And now, do mine.

0:17:15 > 0:17:17Anything else, my lord?

0:17:18 > 0:17:19You are dead when we swap.

0:17:22 > 0:17:25Ladies used hand fans to communicate,

0:17:25 > 0:17:28sort of like a hidden code.

0:17:28 > 0:17:32Holding the fan in your right hand meant, "Follow me."

0:17:32 > 0:17:36Drawing the fan through your hand meant, "Ooh, I hate you."

0:17:36 > 0:17:40Brushing the fan across the eyes, "I'm sorry."

0:17:40 > 0:17:42And fanning quickly,

0:17:42 > 0:17:44"I love you!"

0:17:44 > 0:17:46Oh, Miss Taylor, I never knew you cared!

0:17:46 > 0:17:47THEY LAUGH

0:17:47 > 0:17:48Oh! I get what this is!

0:17:48 > 0:17:50It's like text messaging!

0:17:50 > 0:17:52Edwardian style.

0:17:52 > 0:17:55Oh, my phone! I said I'd text my dad, see how he's getting on

0:17:55 > 0:17:56with Poppy and Rosie at the park today.

0:17:56 > 0:18:00But George's confiscated our phones, he says they're "not of this era."

0:18:00 > 0:18:02Well, he'd let me have it for a couple of minutes,

0:18:02 > 0:18:04if I say it's important.

0:18:04 > 0:18:05He'd love that.

0:18:05 > 0:18:08It'd prove you can't survive without technology.

0:18:08 > 0:18:10Look, the sooner we get married,

0:18:10 > 0:18:12the sooner we can get out of the past

0:18:12 > 0:18:14and then you can get your phone back.

0:18:14 > 0:18:16How's the table setting going, Jody...?

0:18:18 > 0:18:19Wow!

0:18:33 > 0:18:35One, two, three, one, two, three!

0:18:35 > 0:18:37Right! One, two, three...

0:18:37 > 0:18:39THEY LAUGH

0:18:39 > 0:18:40ALL: Look! I'm a bear!

0:18:40 > 0:18:41THEY LAUGH

0:18:41 > 0:18:43And again...

0:18:43 > 0:18:47One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight...

0:18:47 > 0:18:49Now, forwards and backwards...

0:18:49 > 0:18:51One, two, three...

0:18:51 > 0:18:53You need to put your hands up like a bear.

0:18:53 > 0:18:56Right, side to side. One, two, three...

0:18:56 > 0:18:57Aahh!

0:18:57 > 0:18:58Argg!

0:18:58 > 0:19:00Right! Start again!

0:19:00 > 0:19:03You need to get it right! Otherwise, you won't get married

0:19:03 > 0:19:05and I'll lose the hall! Is that what you want?

0:19:06 > 0:19:07What's the matter?

0:19:07 > 0:19:09I'm not having fun now.

0:19:17 > 0:19:20Oh, no, not again.

0:19:20 > 0:19:22My feet are killing me.

0:19:22 > 0:19:24No! Do not look at me.

0:19:24 > 0:19:26If Johnny bosses me about one more time,

0:19:26 > 0:19:28I'm going to punch him, Earl or not.

0:19:38 > 0:19:39Keep stirring that soup.

0:19:39 > 0:19:40"Please" would be nice.

0:19:40 > 0:19:44What would you sooner have? A please or a pie that isn't burnt?

0:19:44 > 0:19:45A nice pie, I guess.

0:19:46 > 0:19:47Well, then.

0:19:47 > 0:19:49Smells great, guys!

0:19:49 > 0:19:51And it'll taste even better.

0:19:51 > 0:19:52Wow!

0:19:52 > 0:19:55THEY LAUGH

0:19:57 > 0:19:59Why do I have to do this?

0:19:59 > 0:20:01To make my son happy.

0:20:01 > 0:20:02Now, erm...

0:20:02 > 0:20:04Tap your head and rub your belly.

0:20:04 > 0:20:07HE LAUGHS

0:20:07 > 0:20:09You don't have to do this, Carmen.

0:20:09 > 0:20:11Yes, she does! Be quiet!

0:20:11 > 0:20:12And why have you stopped laughing?

0:20:12 > 0:20:15Maybe because he doesn't find bullying funny.

0:20:15 > 0:20:18Do you think you're going to impress people by acting like this?

0:20:18 > 0:20:20Make yourself popular?

0:20:20 > 0:20:21I am popular!

0:20:21 > 0:20:24I've got loads of guests, entertain royalty.

0:20:24 > 0:20:26I'm talking about you, Johnny.

0:20:26 > 0:20:29I'm sorry, but you're not cool enough to act like this.

0:20:29 > 0:20:32- Just do what I say! - No! This isn't even one of my tasks.

0:20:32 > 0:20:35It is, if I say so. Do it.

0:20:35 > 0:20:36No.

0:20:36 > 0:20:38Then you're fired.

0:20:38 > 0:20:39So? This isn't real anyway.

0:20:39 > 0:20:42Yeah, but it's the best job you're ever going to get.

0:20:42 > 0:20:43I've seen your school grades.

0:20:43 > 0:20:46You'll be lucky to be a cleaner when you're older.

0:20:53 > 0:20:56It's time, my lords.

0:20:58 > 0:21:04Ladies, may I present Lord Taylor, Earl of Hiddon Hall.

0:21:04 > 0:21:08And his son and heir, the Right Honourable Harry.

0:21:08 > 0:21:12Thank you for accepting our invitation to Hiddon Hall.

0:21:12 > 0:21:13Oh, is it too hot for you in here?

0:21:13 > 0:21:15No, we're texting you.

0:21:15 > 0:21:19I must say, you have a beautiful house, my lord.

0:21:19 > 0:21:21We do our best.

0:21:21 > 0:21:24And your son Harry looks very...handsome.

0:21:25 > 0:21:27We always like to look immaculate.

0:21:27 > 0:21:31When's me dinner? I'm starvin'!

0:21:31 > 0:21:33Quick, quick, quick...

0:21:33 > 0:21:37THEY SHOUT

0:21:37 > 0:21:38Hurry up!

0:21:49 > 0:21:50SHE SIGHS

0:21:50 > 0:21:52Move, move!

0:21:52 > 0:21:53Right, I'm trying to do it!

0:21:55 > 0:21:56Go, go, go!

0:22:04 > 0:22:05MUSIC PLAYS

0:22:05 > 0:22:08So, Harry, it must be wonderful to live in such a magnificent hall?

0:22:08 > 0:22:09It's too big.

0:22:09 > 0:22:12No, it isn't. Say something else.

0:22:12 > 0:22:13What like?

0:22:13 > 0:22:16Something interesting, like I taught you.

0:22:16 > 0:22:18Johnny upset Carmen.

0:22:18 > 0:22:20Why? What happened?

0:22:20 > 0:22:21Who cares? She's just a maid.

0:22:21 > 0:22:24No, she's not, she's a person. And she should have rights.

0:22:24 > 0:22:26And she's still our friend.

0:22:26 > 0:22:28Not today! You don't care about her today.

0:22:28 > 0:22:30I don't want to dance with you any more.

0:22:30 > 0:22:32You have to!

0:22:32 > 0:22:34Erm... I don't HAVE to do anything.

0:22:34 > 0:22:36- And I'm not marrying Harry either. - Why not?

0:22:36 > 0:22:39Because I wouldn't want to marry someone with such a rubbish dad.

0:22:39 > 0:22:42Doubt anyone will ever want to marry YOU, then.

0:22:42 > 0:22:44Wait! What?

0:22:44 > 0:22:46Are you talking about my real life? My real dad?

0:22:48 > 0:22:50- Take it back! - Don't tell me what to do!

0:22:50 > 0:22:52- I said take it back!- Make me.

0:22:53 > 0:22:55No! No! Stop, stop!

0:22:55 > 0:22:56Stop it!

0:22:56 > 0:22:58This is not Edwardian!

0:22:58 > 0:23:01- Don't you ever say anything about my family again!- Get out!

0:23:01 > 0:23:03Tee or Floss can marry Harry instead.

0:23:05 > 0:23:07That means I hate you.

0:23:07 > 0:23:09Someone's got to marry him! I order it.

0:23:09 > 0:23:11Your can't force them, Johnny.

0:23:11 > 0:23:13I'm afraid you've failed.

0:23:18 > 0:23:20Lunch is served!

0:23:21 > 0:23:23But it wasn't my fault.

0:23:23 > 0:23:25Let's discuss it after lunch, shall we?

0:23:25 > 0:23:29Look at the magnificent table that Jody has set for you, my lord!

0:23:33 > 0:23:37Ladies and gentlemen! Grub's up!

0:23:37 > 0:23:38HE CLEARS HIS THROAT

0:23:38 > 0:23:41Uh, I mean, lunch is served, my lords.

0:23:44 > 0:23:46Take it away, no-one's having any.

0:23:52 > 0:23:53Did you not hear what I just said?

0:23:53 > 0:23:56You're not being serious? This took us hours!

0:23:56 > 0:23:59Everyone has to try it, to see if I'm a good cook.

0:23:59 > 0:24:00Tough.

0:24:00 > 0:24:04Now, Johnny, hold on, you have to let everyone have some lunch.

0:24:04 > 0:24:07You said to show who's in charge, didn't you?

0:24:07 > 0:24:09Who's boss? That's all I'm doing!

0:24:09 > 0:24:11Yes, but when I...

0:24:11 > 0:24:12I am the Earl!

0:24:18 > 0:24:20What are you doing?

0:24:20 > 0:24:23Get up! You're not allowed to sit there!

0:24:23 > 0:24:25Get up! Milligan, tell him!

0:24:29 > 0:24:31- Let go!- No!

0:24:31 > 0:24:33- Johnny!- I said let...go!

0:24:33 > 0:24:34Johnny, no!

0:24:44 > 0:24:46Get out.

0:24:46 > 0:24:47THEY CHUCKLE

0:24:49 > 0:24:50Get out!

0:24:52 > 0:24:54Get out!

0:24:54 > 0:24:57Well done for ruining our day, Johnny.

0:24:57 > 0:24:59Hello, Dad. Yeah, it's me.

0:24:59 > 0:25:01Well, we was having a good time until...

0:25:01 > 0:25:03All that work. For nothing.

0:25:03 > 0:25:06I'm glad it's over. I was sick of being a maid.

0:25:06 > 0:25:07Carmen, you're such an idiot.

0:25:07 > 0:25:09We were supposed to swap this afternoon.

0:25:09 > 0:25:11- Gina, please tell me she's joking. - I'm afraid not.

0:25:11 > 0:25:14Well done, Johnny. You've ruined it for all of us!

0:25:14 > 0:25:15Today could have been brilliant!

0:25:15 > 0:25:17Where've you been, Frank?

0:25:17 > 0:25:20Johnny had you running round after him as well?

0:25:23 > 0:25:24Just a minute.

0:25:33 > 0:25:35I did try to warn you.

0:25:43 > 0:25:44It wasn't my fault!

0:25:44 > 0:25:46I was sticking to the rules, playing my part!

0:25:46 > 0:25:50By making comments about Lily and her dad? Carmen's schoolwork?

0:25:50 > 0:25:51Humiliating Elektra?

0:25:51 > 0:25:53That was my role!

0:25:53 > 0:25:56It's your fault, you should never have made us do the stupid day.

0:25:56 > 0:25:59One of the great things about history is that it helps us

0:25:59 > 0:26:02with the choices that we make in our own lives.

0:26:02 > 0:26:05Those Earls and rich types who didn't treat their staff properly,

0:26:05 > 0:26:07they all came a cropper in the end.

0:26:07 > 0:26:11Including our party-throwing sixth Earl himself.

0:26:12 > 0:26:17I just liked being in charge for once. Being important.

0:26:17 > 0:26:18HE CHUCKLES

0:26:18 > 0:26:19You are important.

0:26:19 > 0:26:22No, I'm not. I'm a care kid.

0:26:22 > 0:26:24I'll never be respected.

0:26:24 > 0:26:27Or rich or have a nice house.

0:26:27 > 0:26:28You don't know that.

0:26:28 > 0:26:31If you work hard, try hard,

0:26:31 > 0:26:35then you can be anything that you want to be.

0:26:36 > 0:26:38But I'll tell you something, Johnny,

0:26:38 > 0:26:42if you talk to people, treat people the way that you did today...

0:26:43 > 0:26:46..then, you'll never get anywhere in life.

0:26:46 > 0:26:48Right?

0:27:00 > 0:27:01BELL TINKLES

0:27:01 > 0:27:04Breakfast is served!

0:27:07 > 0:27:09What is he doing?

0:27:10 > 0:27:12I got carried away yesterday.

0:27:12 > 0:27:14Money, a big house, power,

0:27:14 > 0:27:16none of that is as good as having friends.

0:27:17 > 0:27:20So I've made you all breakfast.

0:27:20 > 0:27:21With my expert help!

0:27:21 > 0:27:24And mine.

0:27:24 > 0:27:26Ooh... He's saying he's sorry.

0:27:26 > 0:27:29Yeah, we forgive you.

0:27:29 > 0:27:30Yeah, we do.

0:27:30 > 0:27:33- Come on, let's eat.- What's going on?

0:27:33 > 0:27:34Johnny's sorry about yesterday.

0:27:34 > 0:27:37Why, what did he do?

0:27:37 > 0:27:40Um... Exactly where were you yesterday, Frank?

0:27:42 > 0:27:45In the garden. Picking herbs.

0:27:45 > 0:27:46No, you weren't. I did that!

0:27:49 > 0:27:50Frank?

0:27:50 > 0:27:53Frank! Oi! Frank!

0:27:53 > 0:27:54HE LAUGHS
