0:01:31 > 0:01:32dae I get the election deposit back tonight?

0:01:32 > 0:01:36Yep, and probably some prize money on top.

0:01:36 > 0:01:39Thank God. Money's for my new bathroom.

0:01:39 > 0:01:42- And you deserve it. - Thanks, Bob.

0:01:42 > 0:01:45Good people, good people!

0:01:47 > 0:01:49Where are all our posters, Frank?

0:01:49 > 0:01:53Ah, you only need one, Bob. They all say the same thing.

0:01:54 > 0:01:57Aye, it's a good day to die.

0:01:57 > 0:01:59Common sense will prevail.

0:01:59 > 0:02:04- We're getting positive vibes from the undecided.- Oh, good for you. - Er, good afternoon. Nick Edwards.

0:02:04 > 0:02:07Er, now, if you don't mind me saying, you look of retirement age. Here...

0:02:07 > 0:02:11Have a gander at my policies for ring-fencing pension funds.

0:02:11 > 0:02:12- They're... - Are you the boy

0:02:12 > 0:02:14that was on the radio talking aboot The Krankies?

0:02:14 > 0:02:17Bob Servant, independent, in the flesh.

0:02:17 > 0:02:19He's my man!

0:02:20 > 0:02:22Well, that's a definite.

0:02:22 > 0:02:24There's a long way to go.

0:02:24 > 0:02:25Come on, darling.

0:02:27 > 0:02:30What a day, Frank. What a day!

0:02:30 > 0:02:32And not a boo boy in sight.

0:02:32 > 0:02:36Right, Bob, final push. We're going door to door.

0:02:36 > 0:02:38Oh, plenty of time for that, Frank. Plenty of time for that.

0:02:38 > 0:02:40I've got a wee meeting back at the extension.

0:02:40 > 0:02:42How can I help you, Bob?

0:02:42 > 0:02:45Well, I thought, you know,

0:02:45 > 0:02:47while I'm in London, maybe your mob

0:02:47 > 0:02:50could use the extension as a cathedral.

0:02:50 > 0:02:51- No. - Or some sort of prayer room.

0:02:52 > 0:02:55Punters could come and pray that maybe one day

0:02:55 > 0:02:56they'd have an extension of their own.

0:02:56 > 0:02:59Prayer is reserved for spiritual concerns.

0:02:59 > 0:03:01I want to send a message to the people.

0:03:01 > 0:03:04I wanna tell them that although Bob's body may be in London,

0:03:04 > 0:03:06his heart's here in Broughty Ferry,

0:03:06 > 0:03:10in there, on the coffee table, beating away.

0:03:10 > 0:03:13OK, Bob, if you're going away,

0:03:13 > 0:03:16the Church is always interested in emergency housing.

0:03:16 > 0:03:18- Housing?! - We're in a recession.

0:03:18 > 0:03:22- There are a lot of desperate people in the parish.- Oh, nae chance! - Cloud-cuckoo-land.

0:03:22 > 0:03:24Fine.

0:03:25 > 0:03:27I'll pass that reaction on.

0:03:27 > 0:03:28Pass what on?

0:03:28 > 0:03:33That you're unwilling to help the weakest in Broughty Ferry society.

0:03:33 > 0:03:35Should make a good feature for the newsletter.

0:03:35 > 0:03:37- Newsletter?- Or maybe even the local media.

0:03:37 > 0:03:41Right, right. You can have the extension.

0:03:41 > 0:03:43- Hang on, Bob... - Oh, let it go, Frank, let it go.

0:03:43 > 0:03:45I'll build a bigger one, a better one.

0:03:45 > 0:03:47- I'm gonna be minted. - Really?

0:03:47 > 0:03:49Oh, aye.

0:03:49 > 0:03:52Oh, the MP game is where the readies are, you know, above the table,

0:03:52 > 0:03:55below the table, brown envelopes, white envelopes,

0:03:55 > 0:03:58tips, winks, the old slap on the back, the old,

0:03:58 > 0:03:59"Is this your handbag?"

0:03:59 > 0:04:02"Of course not. Why would I have a handbag?"

0:04:02 > 0:04:05"Oh, I think this is one handbag you do want."

0:04:05 > 0:04:07"Oh, well, then, if you insist,

0:04:07 > 0:04:09"I'll TAKE the handbag.

0:04:09 > 0:04:10"Frank can carry it."

0:04:12 > 0:04:14Gladly.

0:04:14 > 0:04:17I mean, the-the designs are just mouth-watering, Bob.

0:04:17 > 0:04:19I showed them to my swimming instructor

0:04:19 > 0:04:23and she said it was a bathroom that was both elegant and practical.

0:04:23 > 0:04:25Sounds lovely.

0:04:25 > 0:04:27How many more have we got, Frank?

0:04:27 > 0:04:30- I'm knackered. - It's the last couple, Bob.

0:05:27 > 0:05:29the free wellies policy was actually one of mine.

0:05:33 > 0:05:35- Can you do something about our road?- Fire ahead!

0:05:35 > 0:05:39Everyone laughing at wee Simple Servant.

0:06:08 > 0:06:10and I deserve a certain amount of respect.

0:06:10 > 0:06:15- But that's your name. Simple. - I said, don't call me Simple!

0:06:15 > 0:06:17- Bob, I don't think you... - Hey, hey, hey!

0:06:22 > 0:06:25Right, you two, just calm down, OK?

0:06:29 > 0:06:31Nice in here, Hendo.

0:06:31 > 0:06:34Very...cosy.

0:06:35 > 0:06:36Ah!

0:06:36 > 0:06:39Where's your extension? Is it oot the back?

0:06:39 > 0:06:43- I don't have one. - Oh, really? That's a shame.

0:06:43 > 0:06:47My extension is probably the size of your entire hoose.

0:06:47 > 0:06:48Oh, well, I might get one.

0:06:48 > 0:06:51I could do with the extra space when the grandkids visit.

0:06:51 > 0:06:53Any grandkids, Bob?

0:06:54 > 0:06:56Oh, Hendo,

0:06:56 > 0:07:01am I right in thinking that you ran away with that boy frae Fintry

0:07:01 > 0:07:04wha' drove the red Sierra? I think it was you.

0:07:04 > 0:07:05That was my wife.

0:07:05 > 0:07:09Oh, it was your wife? Oh, I knew it was one of yous.

0:07:09 > 0:07:12Right, well, er, thanks for popping round lads,

0:07:12 > 0:07:14- but Countdown's just aboot to start...- Frank,

0:07:14 > 0:07:17this man was my first ever boo boy.

0:07:19 > 0:07:20That Hendo Henderson?

0:07:22 > 0:07:23You and all your cronies.

0:07:23 > 0:07:28Telling the girls that my jumpers were daft and that I had an odd walk.

0:07:28 > 0:07:30Well, here's the headlines, Hendo.

0:07:31 > 0:07:34I've got the best walk in Broughty Ferry

0:07:34 > 0:07:38and my jumpers are the nicest in the toon.

0:07:38 > 0:07:39Or...

0:07:39 > 0:07:41would you call that...

0:07:42 > 0:07:45- ...daft? - A wee bit, aye.

0:07:46 > 0:07:48That's cashmere!

0:07:50 > 0:07:52- Feel it. - Bob, behave yourself!

0:07:52 > 0:07:57- It's 40% cashmere! - Aye, all right, Bob. All right.

0:07:57 > 0:08:00Your jumper is...is very nice.

0:08:03 > 0:08:04What do you like best about it?

0:08:06 > 0:08:08Patterns?

0:08:10 > 0:08:12Now we're getting somewhere.

0:08:14 > 0:08:18Right! Let's sort this walk situation out.

0:08:25 > 0:08:26Very strong.

0:08:26 > 0:08:28And...what do you like best?

0:08:28 > 0:08:31Your...chin. You kind of...

0:08:31 > 0:08:32Hold it high?

0:08:32 > 0:08:35Correct. And well I should.

0:08:35 > 0:08:38But even today, the day of my coronation,

0:08:38 > 0:08:40there had to be one last boo boy.

0:08:40 > 0:08:42Well, Hendo, when I'm elected MP,

0:08:42 > 0:08:46I'm gonna have you all rounded up, brought to the town hall,

0:08:46 > 0:08:49and made to stand on a bucket and say,

0:08:49 > 0:08:51"I'm a Broughty Ferry boo boy,

0:08:51 > 0:08:54"I'm a nasty piece of work, and I was wrong about Bob Servant."

0:08:54 > 0:08:57You know something, Bob? I was wrong aboot you.

0:08:57 > 0:09:02I thought you were just daft. In fact, you are utterly deranged.

0:09:02 > 0:09:07Now piss off, take your brother with you and let me watch Countdown.

0:09:07 > 0:09:10There'll be no sums today, Hendo.

0:09:10 > 0:09:11HE STRAINS

0:09:11 > 0:09:13You're one of my... Agh!

0:09:17 > 0:09:19- I'll just put them back in. - Look, Bob,

0:09:19 > 0:09:22- perhaps we should... - No sums today!

0:09:22 > 0:09:24- Oh! - Ah, it seems fine.

0:09:24 > 0:09:27- SIREN WAILS IN DISTANCE - Bob, I think that's coming here.

0:09:27 > 0:09:30HE STRAINS

0:09:31 > 0:09:33Let's hope they're not showing Jaws tonight.

0:09:33 > 0:09:37- SIREN APPROACHES - Jesus! It's all gone Cagney & Lacey!

0:09:37 > 0:09:41Come on, Frank! Come on! Let's hit the mealy pudding trail.

0:09:43 > 0:09:44Now, Bob...

0:09:45 > 0:09:47...I'm no finger pointer...

0:09:47 > 0:09:50but I think perhaps

0:09:50 > 0:09:55you have at least partly created a situation that is, some might say,

0:09:55 > 0:09:57a total disaster.

0:09:57 > 0:10:02Well, then, we'll have to make it a secret disaster.

0:10:02 > 0:10:04And what do we do in the meantime, Bob?

0:10:04 > 0:10:06We should be out there campaigning.

0:10:06 > 0:10:10- Now we're Broughty Ferry's most wanted.- So, we spend a few hours on the run.

0:10:10 > 0:10:13It's a piece of piss. We'll grow beards, hide out in the swamps.

0:10:13 > 0:10:15There arenae any swamps.

0:10:15 > 0:10:19Well, then, we'll lie low in a motel, get job as handymen,

0:10:19 > 0:10:22helping oot around the place, live under assumed names,

0:10:22 > 0:10:24be polite to the other guests without giving too much away.

0:10:25 > 0:10:27And then...

0:10:28 > 0:10:30...we'll come back this evening.

0:10:31 > 0:10:33The police, though, Bob - they'll be on our tail.

0:10:33 > 0:10:35Now, Frank,

0:10:35 > 0:10:37I need you to stand up to interrogation for a couple of days.

0:10:37 > 0:10:39Interrogation?

0:10:39 > 0:10:41You know, Chinese burns,

0:10:41 > 0:10:43er, thumbnails,

0:10:43 > 0:10:46the old elastic band round your balls.

0:10:47 > 0:10:49Round my balls?

0:10:52 > 0:10:55CHATTER OVER POLICE RADIO

0:11:01 > 0:11:02Stay still.

0:11:04 > 0:11:06Stay very, very still.

0:11:07 > 0:11:11...And we pledge to stand by everything in the manifesto.

0:11:11 > 0:11:13BOB: Don't stop there!

0:11:14 > 0:11:18Oh, come on, lads. Come on, you're killing me!

0:11:18 > 0:11:19You're killing me!

0:11:21 > 0:11:27The man was an 18-carat bully, which is why Bob, quite rightly,

0:11:27 > 0:11:29booted the fuck out of his telly.

0:11:29 > 0:11:31Sorry, officer.

0:11:40 > 0:11:43- Bob, what d'you think gonna hap...?- Ssh!

0:11:43 > 0:11:45Ssh!

0:11:46 > 0:11:47They're watching.

0:11:50 > 0:11:51Two-way mirror.

0:11:54 > 0:11:59- Oh, my God. - Cool, Frank. Keep cool.

0:11:59 > 0:12:00Just gie them a wee smile.

0:12:02 > 0:12:04DOOR OPENS

0:12:08 > 0:12:12- Right, Mr Servant, I don't have time for this.- You think I do?

0:12:12 > 0:12:16Mr Henderson wants £500 compensation for the remote control,

0:12:16 > 0:12:20the TV and his two fish who had heart attacks.

0:12:20 > 0:12:22Agree to that and you're off with a caution.

0:12:22 > 0:12:24Nae chance!

0:12:24 > 0:12:26You've derailed my entire campaign,

0:12:26 > 0:12:30which is illegal. Now, it gives me no pleasure to do this,

0:12:30 > 0:12:32but I hereby instruct you to arrest yoursel'.

0:12:32 > 0:12:35- HE SIGHS - £500, Bob.

0:12:35 > 0:12:37Yes or no?

0:12:39 > 0:12:42Right, er, we will pay every penny.

0:12:42 > 0:12:46We apologise and you'll get no more bother from us.

0:12:46 > 0:12:47Just...

0:12:47 > 0:12:49I'm actually begging you here.

0:12:49 > 0:12:52Do not put that round my balls.

0:12:56 > 0:12:57Hello. Er...

0:12:57 > 0:13:03This is a damage limitation cold call from the Bob Servant independent campaign.

0:13:03 > 0:13:07You may have heard that Bob kicked a telly.

0:13:07 > 0:13:09However, it could be argued that...

0:13:09 > 0:13:10DIALLING TONE

0:13:10 > 0:13:12Hello?

0:13:13 > 0:13:14Hello?

0:13:17 > 0:13:18Hendo!

0:13:18 > 0:13:20Oh!

0:13:20 > 0:13:22Aye... How we getting on?

0:13:22 > 0:13:25- Superbly.- How many people have you spoken to?

0:13:25 > 0:13:27Er...two.

0:13:27 > 0:13:28Oh!

0:13:30 > 0:13:33- Two?- It's a funny story.

0:13:33 > 0:13:36The first guy I phoned wasn't at home.

0:13:36 > 0:13:38So, I called his neighbour

0:13:38 > 0:13:41and they said he was on holiday in Blackpool.

0:13:41 > 0:13:45Well, I wasnae gonna let it go that easily.

0:13:45 > 0:13:49Directory Enquiries gave me a list of Blackpool hotels,

0:13:49 > 0:13:52who all said, "Oh, he's no' here, we cannae help you,"

0:13:52 > 0:13:55et cetera, et cetera, blah-dy blah-dy blah-dy blah.

0:13:55 > 0:13:58- But efter a couple o' hours... - A couple of hours?

0:13:58 > 0:14:00..I got him!

0:14:00 > 0:14:02He's at...

0:14:02 > 0:14:06Blackpool's two-star Royal Hotel.

0:14:06 > 0:14:08Which actually sounds lovely.

0:14:08 > 0:14:12They said, "He's not in, he's oot having a walk on the beach."

0:14:12 > 0:14:16So, I said, "Tell him someone's ringing from Broughty Ferry.

0:14:16 > 0:14:21"It's an emergency and it involves his family."

0:14:22 > 0:14:24Five minutes later, he calls me.

0:14:25 > 0:14:26Very out of breath.

0:14:26 > 0:14:29I said I was calling from the campaign

0:14:29 > 0:14:31and for the good of him and his family,

0:14:31 > 0:14:34would he be voting for us in the by-election?

0:14:34 > 0:14:38He said he wouldn't... Well, he was actually quite firm aboot that.

0:14:39 > 0:14:41But what he also said, which...

0:14:41 > 0:14:44which I thought was a very clever point, was...

0:14:45 > 0:14:48...he couldn't vote for us in the by-election today...

0:14:49 > 0:14:51...because

0:14:51 > 0:14:53he is currently on holiday!

0:14:55 > 0:14:57In Blackpool.

0:15:11 > 0:15:14Everybody's looking at us, Frank.

0:15:15 > 0:15:17They all know.

0:15:17 > 0:15:19- Hendo's murdered me here. - No-one's looking, Bob.

0:15:19 > 0:15:22No-one's looking. Everything'll be A-OK.

0:15:23 > 0:15:26That's what you said about mad cow.

0:15:26 > 0:15:27Was that A-OK?

0:15:28 > 0:15:32Rhona! You're looking decidedly top drawer this evening.

0:15:32 > 0:15:35I'm surprised you've had the gall to show up.

0:15:35 > 0:15:39To what would you be referring? Your campaign has been an embarrassment for Broughty Ferry.

0:15:39 > 0:15:41For a by-election candidate to go around,

0:15:41 > 0:15:44on election day, kicking television sets and killing goldfish...

0:15:44 > 0:15:48- I didnae kill the goldfish! - It's all over town, Bob. - Shall we wait for the autopsy?

0:15:48 > 0:15:52Well, if you lose your deposit, you've only got yourself to blame.

0:15:52 > 0:15:53What do you mean, "lose"?

0:15:53 > 0:15:57You need 5% of the vote to have your deposit returned.

0:15:57 > 0:15:59Which will be around...

0:15:59 > 0:16:011,000 votes.

0:16:01 > 0:16:04- That... That... That can't be right.- It's supposed to deter timewasters.

0:16:04 > 0:16:09Timewasters?! Well, Rhona, if standing up for the people and shooting from the hip is timewasting

0:16:09 > 0:16:13then we might as well haul up the white flag, get on a spaceship,

0:16:13 > 0:16:15drop the keys off to the Martians and say,

0:16:15 > 0:16:18"All right, you boys have a go at living on Earth if you like,

0:16:18 > 0:16:20"because we've fucked it!"

0:16:23 > 0:16:25God, this is going to be a long night.

0:16:30 > 0:16:31- Bob...- You'll get your dough, Frank.

0:16:31 > 0:16:33My new bathroom, Bob.

0:16:33 > 0:16:36- It's both elegant and practical. - Frank!

0:16:36 > 0:16:39My entire reputation's on the line here! Never mind your bathroom!

0:16:39 > 0:16:41- Bob...- There's nothing wrong

0:16:41 > 0:16:43- with your old bathroom. - I ripped it oot.

0:16:43 > 0:16:45- When?- Last Saturday night.

0:16:47 > 0:16:49Thought I might as well get ahead in the job.

0:16:50 > 0:16:52I was...

0:16:52 > 0:16:54heavily inebriated.

0:16:56 > 0:16:59Where have you been going to the toilet?

0:17:01 > 0:17:02Just sort of...

0:17:03 > 0:17:05...on the hoof.

0:17:09 > 0:17:10All right, lads?

0:17:12 > 0:17:15- No, no, no, no. You can't talk to us.- Er, which one's mine?

0:17:15 > 0:17:17- Can we do hot and cold? - Mr Servant, please go away.

0:17:17 > 0:17:22Oh, come on, hen. Gie's a break. I mean, you're...you're not robots, you people. You have to have hearts.

0:17:22 > 0:17:25You are breaking several regulations right now,

0:17:25 > 0:17:26so if you could please...

0:17:26 > 0:17:28PHILLIPPA: Interfering with the vote counters now?

0:17:28 > 0:17:30My word, you're having a spectacular day.

0:17:30 > 0:17:32No, no, no. Just checking the troops.

0:17:32 > 0:17:37Must be pretty boring for them, seeing my name over and over again.

0:17:37 > 0:17:39You're just a...

0:17:39 > 0:17:41cocky-longlegs.

0:17:42 > 0:17:43Cocky-longlegs?

0:17:45 > 0:17:47I am extremely tired.

0:17:54 > 0:17:55HE SNORES SOFTLY

0:18:03 > 0:18:05FEEDBACK

0:18:08 > 0:18:13Thank you for your patience. The results will be announced in five minutes.

0:18:31 > 0:18:33Well, good luck, Bob...

0:18:34 > 0:18:35...with your reputation.

0:18:37 > 0:18:38And you, Frank,

0:18:38 > 0:18:41with your...bathroom.

0:18:50 > 0:18:52I can't tell you anything, Bob.

0:18:52 > 0:18:54Well, just tell me, just tell me it's not boo boy material, Rhona.

0:18:54 > 0:18:58- Just tell me that, please. - Get back.

0:18:58 > 0:18:59Morning.

0:19:02 > 0:19:03Oh!

0:19:05 > 0:19:07Nearly gave myself a hot bot!

0:19:07 > 0:19:09Ladies and gentlemen,

0:19:09 > 0:19:11I have here the results of the Broughty Ferry by-election.

0:20:26 > 0:20:31Ladies and gentlemen, we are about to embark on an extraordinary journey,

0:20:31 > 0:20:37and though I will be based in Westminster, for...practical reasons,

0:20:37 > 0:20:39from this day forward,

0:20:39 > 0:20:41I am a Brochty...

0:20:41 > 0:20:44- Broughty. - ...Broughty Ferry man.

0:20:44 > 0:20:46APPLAUSE

0:20:53 > 0:20:55Firstly...

0:20:55 > 0:20:59As a GENUINE Broughty Ferry man,

0:20:59 > 0:21:03I officially withdraw my bid.

0:21:03 > 0:21:05Secondly...

0:21:05 > 0:21:10To the people who, it could be argued, got more votes than me,

0:21:10 > 0:21:13if you have cheated, and just now it's only a rumour,

0:21:13 > 0:21:17then that is something you'll have to live with.

0:21:19 > 0:21:23But more important, more important than the also-rans

0:21:23 > 0:21:26is a wee man standing over there, with glasses,

0:21:26 > 0:21:29called Frank.

0:21:29 > 0:21:30Over the last six weeks,

0:21:30 > 0:21:33he has worked like a... farmer.

0:21:33 > 0:21:36And yet recently,

0:21:36 > 0:21:41Frank has been unable to go to the toilet in his own home.

0:21:41 > 0:21:44Ladies and gentlemen,

0:21:44 > 0:21:47as long as we live in a world

0:21:47 > 0:21:49where it is possible for a good man

0:21:49 > 0:21:53to be unable to go to the toilet in the comfort of his own home,

0:21:53 > 0:21:55I shall keep fighting.

0:21:56 > 0:22:00And to those of you who think you've seen the last of Bob Servant,

0:22:00 > 0:22:03well, you're wrong. Because you haven't seen the last of Bob Servant.

0:22:04 > 0:22:06So, good night...

0:22:09 > 0:22:11and safe journey home.

0:22:16 > 0:22:18on that journey home,

0:22:18 > 0:22:22you should see a little child looking sad...

0:23:09 > 0:23:11I know it's not.

0:23:50 > 0:23:52The homeless party's off.

0:23:52 > 0:23:54But, Bob, these men need your help.

0:23:54 > 0:23:56I can see that. Right, lads...

0:23:58 > 0:24:00GROANING

0:24:06 > 0:24:08Hey! Hey! You.

0:24:08 > 0:24:10Is that my snazzy jacket?

0:24:33 > 0:24:35Frank! Frank!

0:24:37 > 0:24:39They're not my trousers, Frank.

0:24:41 > 0:24:43Stop it, Frank! Stop it. You're being an idiot.

0:24:43 > 0:24:47I am not an idiot, Bob. I am just doing my best.

0:24:48 > 0:24:52I am just doing my best.

0:24:54 > 0:24:56Frank!

0:25:21 > 0:25:22Listen, Frank.

0:25:22 > 0:25:25Let me tell you something aboot winning and losing.

0:25:27 > 0:25:31Because you're probably wondering who won the by-election.

0:25:31 > 0:25:33- It was Edwards. - No, Frank.

0:25:33 > 0:25:34Who really won it.

0:25:34 > 0:25:37- No, it was Edwards. - Frank,

0:25:37 > 0:25:40if we'd won the by-election, we'd be aff to London

0:25:40 > 0:25:43to shake things up down there, correct?

0:25:43 > 0:25:45But the punters don't want that to happen.

0:25:45 > 0:25:48- No, they...they made that quite clear.- Exactly.

0:25:48 > 0:25:49They want us right here.

0:25:52 > 0:25:54They've sent us a clear message.

0:25:54 > 0:25:56"Stay here, lads,

0:25:56 > 0:25:59"because we need you, we admire you,

0:25:59 > 0:26:02"we like what we've seen and we want to see more."

0:26:04 > 0:26:06Broughty Ferry has spoken, Francis.

0:26:06 > 0:26:10And I will not play deaf to the people of Broughty Ferry.

0:26:10 > 0:26:14- Neither will I. - We did it, Frank.

0:26:14 > 0:26:16We more or less did it.

0:26:16 > 0:26:18We sort of won.

0:26:18 > 0:26:22Pretty much. Now, I believe we've got a party to go to.

0:26:24 > 0:26:27# JOHNNY CASH: I Won't Back Down

0:27:20 > 0:27:24Frank...think about the most exciting thing you can.

0:27:26 > 0:27:27Now double it.

0:27:29 > 0:27:30Now times it by ten.
