'It was Danny's fault, he said get the ladder. | 0:00:42 | 0:00:44 | |
'I never said put it up against the bank | 0:00:44 | 0:00:46 | |
'and I never chucked Coxy's wallet through the window. | 0:00:46 | 0:00:50 | |
'Coxy had to climb in and get it. | 0:00:50 | 0:00:53 | |
'He was so happy when he found it, but you can't miss out | 0:00:54 | 0:00:57 | |
'on a opportunity like that, can you? It had to be done.' | 0:00:57 | 0:01:00 | |
-So what happened? -Well, he had to wait for the police. | 0:01:02 | 0:01:04 | |
They accepted it was a prank gone wrong - | 0:01:04 | 0:01:06 | |
but Coxy, he had to pay fine of £50. | 0:01:06 | 0:01:08 | |
50 quid! | 0:01:08 | 0:01:10 | |
I had to pay for it. Skinted me. | 0:01:10 | 0:01:12 | |
It was funny, though. | 0:01:12 | 0:01:13 | |
Yeah, but you've got to be careful havin' a laugh. | 0:01:15 | 0:01:17 | |
I remember when we thought it'd be funny to knock Harry Sarti's hat off. | 0:01:17 | 0:01:20 | |
'Harry was as bald as a coot | 0:01:20 | 0:01:21 | |
'and he wouldn't take his hat off for love nor money. | 0:01:21 | 0:01:24 | |
'Upended a vicar who tried to make him | 0:01:24 | 0:01:26 | |
'take it off at his mum's funeral. | 0:01:26 | 0:01:27 | |
'Well, it was a challenge, wasn't it?' | 0:01:27 | 0:01:29 | |
Me and my brother Alfie - this was before he left the docks, mind - | 0:01:29 | 0:01:32 | |
'measured Harry up when he was havin' a kip... | 0:01:32 | 0:01:35 | |
'but he'd taken his boots off, see. | 0:01:35 | 0:01:38 | |
'And that was the problem - we forgot to allow another inch | 0:01:38 | 0:01:40 | |
'and half for his soles. | 0:01:40 | 0:01:42 | |
'The big day came and...' | 0:01:42 | 0:01:44 | |
Shit! Harry, are you all right? | 0:01:51 | 0:01:53 | |
Quick! Lower the hook! Lower the hook! | 0:01:53 | 0:01:55 | |
So you hit your mate on the head with a crane hook? | 0:01:55 | 0:01:57 | |
Well, that's not what we intended - it was supposed to knock his hat off. | 0:01:57 | 0:02:01 | |
Get on it, Harry! | 0:02:04 | 0:02:05 | |
That it! That's right, lift him up. Get it up, come on, come on. | 0:02:06 | 0:02:12 | |
Me hat! Me hat! | 0:02:12 | 0:02:14 | |
Leave your hat, leave it! | 0:02:14 | 0:02:16 | |
Fucking hell! We'll get you another one. | 0:02:17 | 0:02:20 | |
We all know, everybody knows, you're bald as a door knob. | 0:02:20 | 0:02:23 | |
So, the point is, Harry shouldn't have been so vain? | 0:02:23 | 0:02:27 | |
Or you should have been more careful? | 0:02:27 | 0:02:29 | |
Neither. The point is, pretty soon after that happened, | 0:02:29 | 0:02:32 | |
Harry Sarti stopped wearing his hat. | 0:02:32 | 0:02:33 | |
He got rid of that comb-over. | 0:02:33 | 0:02:35 | |
He got a lot more confident about himself, and two years later | 0:02:35 | 0:02:38 | |
as a result, he run off with that crane driver's missus. | 0:02:38 | 0:02:41 | |
So, you see, these things you do, they can accelerate, can't they? | 0:02:41 | 0:02:44 | |
I need to get some scratch together, | 0:02:45 | 0:02:48 | |
supposed to be taking that Debbie out tonight. | 0:02:48 | 0:02:50 | |
Are you still collecting records? | 0:02:52 | 0:02:54 | |
Yeah. | 0:02:54 | 0:02:56 | |
'Steve was the youngest of a local family of villains - the Churchers.' | 0:02:56 | 0:03:00 | |
-Oh, blimey, Steve, I thought -I -had some old shit. | 0:03:00 | 0:03:03 | |
There must be summink you want to buy? | 0:03:03 | 0:03:05 | |
Oh, yeah, you would have this one - | 0:03:05 | 0:03:08 | |
his poxy first album, you can get anywhere for 30 pence. | 0:03:08 | 0:03:12 | |
# There's a rubber band that plays tunes out of tune... # | 0:03:12 | 0:03:16 | |
'But as Dad said, these things can accelerate. | 0:03:16 | 0:03:18 | |
'And my foot was just about to hit the pedal.' | 0:03:18 | 0:03:21 | |
What's this - your nan's? | 0:03:21 | 0:03:22 | |
You do know cassettes are only this big these days? | 0:03:22 | 0:03:24 | |
That's a telly cassette. | 0:03:24 | 0:03:26 | |
Telly cassette? | 0:03:26 | 0:03:27 | |
It's for the telly. | 0:03:27 | 0:03:29 | |
Here, look. | 0:03:29 | 0:03:30 | |
What's that? | 0:03:39 | 0:03:41 | |
It's a video recorder. | 0:03:41 | 0:03:42 | |
MUSIC: Rising Damp Theme | 0:03:46 | 0:03:49 | |
What's goin' on? | 0:03:50 | 0:03:51 | |
I told you, it's a cassette for the telly. My mum hates it - | 0:03:51 | 0:03:54 | |
she thinks it's too big for the room. | 0:03:54 | 0:03:57 | |
It's only twenty to three. | 0:03:57 | 0:03:58 | |
How can Rising Damp be on at twenty to three? | 0:03:58 | 0:04:00 | |
What have you done? | 0:04:00 | 0:04:02 | |
I taped it the other night. | 0:04:02 | 0:04:03 | |
You know like a cassette tapes your music, well, this tapes your telly. | 0:04:03 | 0:04:07 | |
No, Steve, you can't TAPE the telly. That's mad, you... | 0:04:07 | 0:04:10 | |
You can't record the television! | 0:04:10 | 0:04:12 | |
Watch. | 0:04:12 | 0:04:13 | |
Now what's happened? | 0:04:14 | 0:04:17 | |
I've paused it. | 0:04:17 | 0:04:19 | |
You can't pause the telly! What are you doin'? | 0:04:19 | 0:04:21 | |
Straight - what are you doin'? | 0:04:21 | 0:04:23 | |
One of me old man's mates nicked it out of Thames Television. | 0:04:23 | 0:04:25 | |
And it tapes Thames Television? | 0:04:25 | 0:04:28 | |
It tapes ALL television. | 0:04:28 | 0:04:31 | |
Are you jokin'? | 0:04:31 | 0:04:32 | |
Did you not know we had one of these? | 0:04:32 | 0:04:34 | |
-No! -He's gettin' another one next week, more modern. | 0:04:34 | 0:04:36 | |
He's gettin' another one? | 0:04:36 | 0:04:37 | |
Oh, Steve, mate, you've gotta let me have this one. | 0:04:37 | 0:04:40 | |
It ain't mine to sell. | 0:04:40 | 0:04:41 | |
Do us a favour, go and ask your old man how much he wants for it. | 0:04:41 | 0:04:45 | |
My dad? You sure? | 0:04:45 | 0:04:46 | |
Yeah! | 0:04:46 | 0:04:47 | |
-'It's Rigsby! -It's Rigsby(!)' | 0:04:52 | 0:04:54 | |
Have you had a bereavement? | 0:04:56 | 0:04:58 | |
'I had entered a parallel universe.' | 0:05:00 | 0:05:05 | |
Forget it, Dan, he wants 100 quid. | 0:05:05 | 0:05:07 | |
100! | 0:05:07 | 0:05:09 | |
Here, Kath, give us a slice of your bread puddin', will ya? | 0:05:15 | 0:05:18 | |
Comin' right up. | 0:05:18 | 0:05:19 | |
Only there's a Russian freighter sinking out there. | 0:05:19 | 0:05:21 | |
They need somethin' to block up the hole. | 0:05:21 | 0:05:23 | |
Oh, balls to ya. | 0:05:23 | 0:05:25 | |
Determined to take the piss out of me right to the last day, ain't ya. | 0:05:25 | 0:05:28 | |
Yeah. We are. | 0:05:28 | 0:05:29 | |
I've cooked hot dinners for you ponces for the last 30 years. | 0:05:29 | 0:05:32 | |
I've never had a word of thanks. | 0:05:32 | 0:05:34 | |
You don't have to eat them, do ya? | 0:05:34 | 0:05:36 | |
No wonder no-one else wants to bleedin' buy this place. | 0:05:36 | 0:05:38 | |
-Oh, you know we loves ya, Kath. -Do I? | 0:05:38 | 0:05:41 | |
Haven't you got any steak for later? | 0:05:41 | 0:05:42 | |
Yes...I have, as it happens. Why? | 0:05:42 | 0:05:46 | |
Cos Terry's got a hole in his boot and he needs it soled and heeled. | 0:05:46 | 0:05:48 | |
Oh, bollocks! | 0:05:48 | 0:05:50 | |
'In fact, like many old industries, | 0:05:50 | 0:05:52 | |
'the docks were facing closure, with dockers offered money to quit. | 0:05:52 | 0:05:55 | |
'And now, new faces were appearing.' | 0:05:55 | 0:05:57 | |
Who's that? | 0:05:57 | 0:05:59 | |
That's the new security firm they got in. | 0:05:59 | 0:06:01 | |
-Blimey, they only look about 15. -Ha-ha. Lovely. | 0:06:01 | 0:06:03 | |
Lovely? What's lovely about that? | 0:06:03 | 0:06:05 | |
They won't have heard about any of the fiddles, will they? | 0:06:05 | 0:06:08 | |
He's right, we can go right through the book with 'em. | 0:06:08 | 0:06:11 | |
I reckon we could do Cat In The Box with kids like that. | 0:06:11 | 0:06:13 | |
'Cat In The Box was the oldest trick in the dockers' book.' | 0:06:13 | 0:06:16 | |
-What you got in the box, Spud? -Stray cat, Norm, for me daughter. | 0:06:16 | 0:06:18 | |
I'm going to have to look inside, I'm afraid. | 0:06:18 | 0:06:21 | |
-Come on. It's a stray cat. -Open her up. | 0:06:21 | 0:06:23 | |
-CAT HISSES -Bloody hell! | 0:06:23 | 0:06:25 | |
Fucking hell! Thanks a lot(!) Thank you(!) | 0:06:25 | 0:06:28 | |
'Dad normally gave it about half an hour.' | 0:06:28 | 0:06:31 | |
Want to see the cat again? | 0:06:31 | 0:06:32 | |
-No, no, you're all right, Spud, go on. -Cheers, Norm. | 0:06:32 | 0:06:35 | |
All right, calm down in there. | 0:06:35 | 0:06:37 | |
'We had ham sandwiches for a month after that.' | 0:06:43 | 0:06:46 | |
Can't do Cat In The Box no more. | 0:06:46 | 0:06:48 | |
Reggie tried it the other week over at the East Gate, | 0:06:48 | 0:06:50 | |
and they looked in the box the second time. | 0:06:50 | 0:06:52 | |
-They looked in the box the second time? -Yeah. | 0:06:52 | 0:06:54 | |
So what? He offered 'em a drink. | 0:06:54 | 0:06:56 | |
They weren't interested in a drink. They put Reggie on report. | 0:06:56 | 0:06:58 | |
-They weren't interested in a drink?! -No. | 0:06:58 | 0:07:00 | |
They're onto everything, they're not even a little bit approachable. | 0:07:00 | 0:07:03 | |
So maybe it's time to take the money. | 0:07:03 | 0:07:05 | |
Yeah. You might be right there, Ern, | 0:07:05 | 0:07:07 | |
the offer was up to 1,200 quid in the last letter. | 0:07:07 | 0:07:09 | |
Don't you wonder why they're so keen to pay us off? | 0:07:09 | 0:07:12 | |
You take that money, might as well cut your own throat. | 0:07:12 | 0:07:14 | |
The old game's changing, Spud. This ain't a job for life no more. | 0:07:14 | 0:07:17 | |
Don't piss about back there, you'll blow us all through the roof. | 0:07:22 | 0:07:24 | |
Hold on. Just need to connect it all up. | 0:07:24 | 0:07:27 | |
DOOR CLOSES | 0:07:27 | 0:07:28 | |
Hello? | 0:07:28 | 0:07:29 | |
-Where is everyone? -In here! | 0:07:30 | 0:07:33 | |
I've been given two weeks to come up with the 100 quid, | 0:07:33 | 0:07:36 | |
but right now, I was too excited to worry about that. | 0:07:36 | 0:07:38 | |
What the fucking hell is that monstrosity? | 0:07:38 | 0:07:40 | |
Right. Ladies and gentlemen, our house is now a cinema. | 0:07:40 | 0:07:45 | |
What is it? | 0:07:45 | 0:07:46 | |
It's a video recorder. It records the television. | 0:07:46 | 0:07:49 | |
What for? | 0:07:49 | 0:07:50 | |
So you can watch programmes again. | 0:07:50 | 0:07:52 | |
-What for? -Well, you can keep shows on it. | 0:07:53 | 0:07:56 | |
Keep shows?! You can fucking stage shows on that - | 0:07:56 | 0:07:59 | |
look at the size of it. Where did you get it? | 0:07:59 | 0:08:01 | |
Here, ain't Joey Churcher got one of them? | 0:08:01 | 0:08:03 | |
Joey Churcher? I hope not! | 0:08:03 | 0:08:06 | |
I'm off out now, see you later. What is that? | 0:08:06 | 0:08:08 | |
It's a video recorder. | 0:08:08 | 0:08:10 | |
Who you meetin' tonight, Gog or Magog? | 0:08:10 | 0:08:11 | |
I'll be in about 11, Mum. | 0:08:11 | 0:08:13 | |
Be careful. | 0:08:13 | 0:08:15 | |
Make sure you are. Keep your hand on your ha'penny. | 0:08:15 | 0:08:17 | |
She's off out with Roger again. Six months now. | 0:08:17 | 0:08:19 | |
Why does she never she bring him home more often? | 0:08:19 | 0:08:22 | |
I wonder(!) | 0:08:22 | 0:08:23 | |
Right, there you go. Ready? | 0:08:23 | 0:08:25 | |
Born ready. | 0:08:25 | 0:08:27 | |
This is good, innit(?) | 0:08:29 | 0:08:31 | |
-Maybe it needs tuning in? -Yeah. | 0:08:31 | 0:08:33 | |
Oi! Don't piss about with that, took us three days to find BBC Two! | 0:08:33 | 0:08:38 | |
RIGSBY: Better place than this, too! | 0:08:38 | 0:08:40 | |
What's that? | 0:08:42 | 0:08:44 | |
That's last week's Rising Damp! | 0:08:44 | 0:08:46 | |
Yeah, and we watched that last week. | 0:08:46 | 0:08:47 | |
You know what it looks like? | 0:08:47 | 0:08:49 | |
Like the telly's had a stroke. THEY LAUGH | 0:08:49 | 0:08:52 | |
It does! How much did you give for that? | 0:08:52 | 0:08:54 | |
20 quid. | 0:08:54 | 0:08:55 | |
A score? 25 more like. | 0:08:55 | 0:08:58 | |
How are you going to pay for that? | 0:08:58 | 0:08:59 | |
You've used up all your birthday money on bleeding records? | 0:08:59 | 0:09:02 | |
I'm like Dad, aren't I? I can always get hold of a few quid. | 0:09:02 | 0:09:05 | |
Right, here's a tenner, put that with your nans' postal orders | 0:09:05 | 0:09:07 | |
and that's the end of it. | 0:09:07 | 0:09:08 | |
Don't be gettin' involved with the like of Joey Churcher, son. | 0:09:08 | 0:09:11 | |
Thanks, Dad. | 0:09:11 | 0:09:13 | |
Well, there we go. Do you want to watch it again? | 0:09:13 | 0:09:16 | |
No. | 0:09:16 | 0:09:18 | |
'Since my dad had threatened to run over her last boyfriend, Colin, | 0:09:18 | 0:09:21 | |
'Sharon had been going steady with Roger.' | 0:09:21 | 0:09:23 | |
In comes Mr Collier and says, | 0:09:23 | 0:09:25 | |
"Brilliant, Barbara, go home early if you want." | 0:09:25 | 0:09:27 | |
And I thought, "Hang on, hang on, I did most of that, I'm the one | 0:09:27 | 0:09:30 | |
"with Pitman's shorthand, 120 words a minute." Drives me mad up there. | 0:09:30 | 0:09:34 | |
How was YOUR week? | 0:09:35 | 0:09:37 | |
Well, work's work, innit? | 0:09:38 | 0:09:40 | |
'He wasn't exactly the romantic type, but she'd had plenty of them.' | 0:09:43 | 0:09:46 | |
Oh, yeah! That's what I was going to ask ya. | 0:09:46 | 0:09:48 | |
Do you want to get married? | 0:09:48 | 0:09:50 | |
Eh? | 0:09:50 | 0:09:51 | |
What? | 0:09:51 | 0:09:53 | |
Do you want to get married? | 0:09:53 | 0:09:54 | |
You was talking about it the other week with your mate. | 0:09:54 | 0:09:57 | |
Shall we do it? | 0:09:57 | 0:09:58 | |
Well, yeah, but... but do it different to that. | 0:09:59 | 0:10:03 | |
-What? -Asking me to marry you, you've got to say, "Will you marry me?" | 0:10:03 | 0:10:06 | |
I just did! | 0:10:06 | 0:10:07 | |
Proper! You're supposed to get down on one knee. | 0:10:07 | 0:10:11 | |
What, in here? You've got some chance! | 0:10:11 | 0:10:14 | |
Do you want to marry me or not? | 0:10:14 | 0:10:16 | |
What about my dad? | 0:10:16 | 0:10:20 | |
'Sharon was on the verge of gaining a husband | 0:10:20 | 0:10:22 | |
'while I'd already given my heart to a video recorder. | 0:10:22 | 0:10:25 | |
'But, like my sister, | 0:10:25 | 0:10:26 | |
'I was to scared to tell Dad the whole truth about our relationship.' | 0:10:26 | 0:10:30 | |

MUSIC SEEPS FROM HEADPHONES | 0:10:34 | 0:10:36 | |
Oi? | 0:10:37 | 0:10:39 | |
What?! | 0:10:39 | 0:10:40 | |
Mike, I owe more than 20 quid. | 0:10:42 | 0:10:43 | |
I knew you did. Go on, how much? | 0:10:43 | 0:10:46 | |
30? | 0:10:46 | 0:10:47 | |
Yeah. | 0:10:47 | 0:10:49 | |
You idiot. 30 quid just to tape Rising Damp. | 0:10:49 | 0:10:51 | |
It tapes other things, too. | 0:10:51 | 0:10:53 | |
I owe 100 quid. | 0:10:53 | 0:10:54 | |
100 quid! You owe Joey Churcher 100 quid? | 0:10:54 | 0:10:57 | |
Stewart Sams only owed him a tenner. | 0:11:00 | 0:11:01 | |
-Yeah? So? -When was last time you saw Stewart Sams? | 0:11:01 | 0:11:04 | |
His family's moved to Ramsgate. | 0:11:04 | 0:11:06 | |
Yes, but ask yourself WHY they moved to Ramsgate? | 0:11:06 | 0:11:08 | |
Eh? Did they even MOVE to Ramsgate? | 0:11:08 | 0:11:11 | |
No. You're not saying he killed all Stewart Sams' family for a tenner? | 0:11:11 | 0:11:15 | |
I'm not saying nothing, mate, you're the one that owes him 100 quid. | 0:11:15 | 0:11:19 | |
Now shut up and leave me alone, will ya? | 0:11:19 | 0:11:20 | |
Oi, listen... | 0:11:23 | 0:11:25 | |
If you do that again, I'm going to fuckin'... | 0:11:25 | 0:11:27 | |
Get off! Get off! | 0:11:27 | 0:11:29 | |
Stop! What's the matter with you? | 0:11:31 | 0:11:33 | |
I just wanted to know what you were listening to. | 0:11:33 | 0:11:35 | |
New Deep Purple LP. | 0:11:35 | 0:11:37 | |
Deep Purple? Where'd you get that? | 0:11:37 | 0:11:39 | |
Eddie Gregory taped it for me. Only cost me a quid. | 0:11:39 | 0:11:41 | |
Here, I reckon you're going to have to start sellin' some of them soon | 0:11:41 | 0:11:45 | |
if you're going to get yourself out of this one. | 0:11:45 | 0:11:47 | |
What?! Not me records! I can't! | 0:11:47 | 0:11:50 | |
Come on, Fred, that's enough, ain't it? | 0:12:00 | 0:12:02 | |
What are you talking about?! These are Polaroids. | 0:12:02 | 0:12:05 | |
Two quid a pair for these! | 0:12:05 | 0:12:06 | |
Haemorrhoids. | 0:12:06 | 0:12:08 | |
Oi! Stop that. | 0:12:08 | 0:12:09 | |
Fucking hell, Norman! | 0:12:10 | 0:12:12 | |
'Old Norman was one of the chaps.' | 0:12:12 | 0:12:14 | |
Don't do that to us! | 0:12:14 | 0:12:15 | |
'Totally in the swim.' | 0:12:15 | 0:12:17 | |
No, no, straight, stop it, there's no point. | 0:12:17 | 0:12:20 | |
Why, it's only a bit of Fat Man, Norm. | 0:12:20 | 0:12:22 | |
You're part of the old firm, we'll sort you out no problem. | 0:12:22 | 0:12:24 | |
New lot are onto it. Jackie Tarbard got stopped the other day | 0:12:24 | 0:12:27 | |
trying to nick a load of football shirts. | 0:12:27 | 0:12:29 | |
How? You can't put your hands on a dock worker, we'll all walk out. | 0:12:29 | 0:12:33 | |
You can if you stop a bloke who looks like he weighs 40 stone, | 0:12:33 | 0:12:36 | |
then you strip him down and find out he don't weight ten. | 0:12:36 | 0:12:38 | |
What, so no more Fat Man? | 0:12:38 | 0:12:40 | |
This is bollocks. They're taking away our livelihood. | 0:12:40 | 0:12:43 | |
The only thing I'm earning at the moment is me wages! | 0:12:43 | 0:12:45 | |
Listen, as soon as it goes up to two grand, mate, I'm takin' it. | 0:12:45 | 0:12:48 | |
What have I told you? Don't take their bribes. | 0:12:48 | 0:12:51 | |
If none of us take their money, they can't close the docks down. | 0:12:51 | 0:12:54 | |
Your Alfie took it. | 0:12:54 | 0:12:55 | |
Yeah, but what's he got now? About 50 quid. | 0:12:55 | 0:12:58 | |
Don't you think he regrets it every single day. | 0:12:58 | 0:13:00 | |
He got a grand, he never even bought himself a new car. | 0:13:00 | 0:13:04 | |
It's blood money. | 0:13:04 | 0:13:06 | |
Well, if you can't take a few fucking steps, | 0:13:08 | 0:13:11 | |
you wouldn't be able to run my business, so... | 0:13:11 | 0:13:13 | |
Yeah, and you. | 0:13:13 | 0:13:15 | |
What's up, Kath? | 0:13:15 | 0:13:17 | |
Another bleedin' buyer's dropped out, they're all talk, all of them. | 0:13:17 | 0:13:20 | |
Did they find out you were taking them Scotch eggs with you? | 0:13:20 | 0:13:23 | |
Valuable antiques, they are. | 0:13:23 | 0:13:24 | |
You won't be laughin' the end of next week when I've gone. | 0:13:24 | 0:13:27 | |
This hut's been here since 1918. | 0:13:27 | 0:13:30 | |
So has them Scotch eggs. | 0:13:30 | 0:13:32 | |
They say, "Oh, you can't cook off a bottle of gas no more," | 0:13:32 | 0:13:35 | |
and, "Oh, there's gotta be a sink | 0:13:35 | 0:13:37 | |
"plumbed in so the staff can wash their hands." | 0:13:37 | 0:13:40 | |
There's only me! What do I want to wash me hands for? | 0:13:40 | 0:13:43 | |
And the latest thing is, "Where's your toilet facilities?" | 0:13:43 | 0:13:47 | |
I told 'I'm, I said, "Over the Rose & Crown, where I've always gone." | 0:13:47 | 0:13:50 | |
I don't know what they expect for £350. | 0:13:50 | 0:13:52 | |
You ain't got that in yer back pocket, have ya? | 0:13:52 | 0:13:55 | |
We were just saying, we can't smuggle a rasher of wind | 0:13:55 | 0:13:57 | |
-out of this place at the moment. -Fuck all. | 0:13:57 | 0:13:59 | |
The dock'll be delighted to see this place close down, | 0:13:59 | 0:14:02 | |
and it will make it easier for them to get rid of you lot. | 0:14:02 | 0:14:04 | |
Well, they're on to all our strokes. | 0:14:04 | 0:14:06 | |
Shame, because I heard there's a booze boat comin' in next Thursday. | 0:14:06 | 0:14:10 | |
Load of sherry from Cadiz. | 0:14:10 | 0:14:12 | |
In the old days, you lot would have stripped that bare. | 0:14:13 | 0:14:16 | |
Sherry, though, Kath? I mean, | 0:14:16 | 0:14:17 | |
we're going to have trouble knockin' that out round here. | 0:14:17 | 0:14:20 | |
Round here, maybe. | 0:14:20 | 0:14:21 | |
But out in the suburbs, Eltham, Cockfosters, | 0:14:21 | 0:14:23 | |
that's all they drink out there. | 0:14:23 | 0:14:25 | |
'The video recorder was starting to dominate family life.' | 0:14:25 | 0:14:30 | |
-IN UNISON WITH THE TV DIALOGUE: -Do you know what? | 0:14:30 | 0:14:32 | |
I still feel hungry. So am I. Fancy a bag of chips? | 0:14:32 | 0:14:34 | |
Plenty of vinegar? Lots of scallops? Mushy peas. You're on. | 0:14:34 | 0:14:38 | |
Your turn to pay. Come on. | 0:14:38 | 0:14:40 | |

Suit of armour. | 0:14:44 | 0:14:45 | |
Watch it again? | 0:14:47 | 0:14:49 | |
'But I still had to pay Joey Churcher what I owed him for it. | 0:14:50 | 0:14:53 | |
'There was no way I was going to sell any of my famously | 0:14:53 | 0:14:56 | |
'comprehensive record collection, | 0:14:56 | 0:14:58 | |
'so inspired by my brother's mate, Eddie Gregory, I came up with | 0:14:58 | 0:15:01 | |
'a plan. I put a classified ad in the music papers offering to tape | 0:15:01 | 0:15:05 | |
'any albums onto cassette for just one pound. | 0:15:05 | 0:15:07 | |
'All I had to do was press record, sit back and wait.' | 0:15:15 | 0:15:19 | |
Don't touch the record player! | 0:15:22 | 0:15:25 | |
All right, let's take it up. Come on. | 0:15:37 | 0:15:39 | |
'It had become a point of principle for Dad. | 0:15:39 | 0:15:41 | |
'The boatload of sherry had arrived, and his solution was to reach back | 0:15:41 | 0:15:45 | |
"into the past for a classic old dock workers' stroke, The Dredge. | 0:15:45 | 0:15:49 | |
Haven't you got anything else better to do? | 0:15:52 | 0:15:54 | |
Just making sure every bottle of this goes where it's meant to. | 0:15:54 | 0:15:57 | |
Yeah. | 0:15:57 | 0:15:59 | |
That's it. Take it down. | 0:16:00 | 0:16:02 | |
Got it, lads? | 0:16:08 | 0:16:09 | |
Whoa, right, lads, let's get this shifted. | 0:16:11 | 0:16:15 | |
'Ere, I want a word with you! | 0:16:26 | 0:16:27 | |
Not now, Mum. | 0:16:27 | 0:16:29 | |
'The video recorder was taking over my life, but so was paying for it.' | 0:16:31 | 0:16:35 | |
A couple of letters came for you. | 0:16:41 | 0:16:43 | |
Oh, yeah? | 0:16:43 | 0:16:45 | |
Now, do you want to tell me what you've been up to? | 0:16:45 | 0:16:48 | |
All right, let's take it up. | 0:17:05 | 0:17:07 | |
Stand from under. | 0:17:09 | 0:17:11 | |
Set hangin'! | 0:17:11 | 0:17:12 | |
Just a minute, Les! | 0:17:16 | 0:17:19 | |
I think there's a corner come loose. | 0:17:19 | 0:17:21 | |
That's it, Les, to me, to me, bring it in. | 0:17:21 | 0:17:25 | |
Just as I thought, this isn't secure. | 0:17:25 | 0:17:28 | |
There you go. Right, take it up. | 0:17:32 | 0:17:35 | |
Steady, Les, steady! That still don't look too secure to me, that. | 0:17:36 | 0:17:40 | |
Oi! | 0:17:46 | 0:17:47 | |
I said it wasn't secure, you heard me. | 0:17:48 | 0:17:50 | |
Someone could have been killed. | 0:17:50 | 0:17:52 | |
You don't take the working man's welfare seriously round here. | 0:17:52 | 0:17:55 | |
So what happens now? | 0:18:04 | 0:18:05 | |
Well, for the next six months all the fish | 0:18:05 | 0:18:07 | |
that are pulled out of there will be three-parts pissed. | 0:18:07 | 0:18:09 | |
-What, so all that lot's lost, is it? -Gone! | 0:18:09 | 0:18:11 | |
Unless you're willing to jump in after it. | 0:18:11 | 0:18:14 | |
Well, what about insurance? Shouldn't we get your names? | 0:18:14 | 0:18:16 | |
Excuse me, your names, please? | 0:18:16 | 0:18:18 | |
Names? That's Duke of Edinburgh. | 0:18:18 | 0:18:20 | |
That's Elvis Presley. | 0:18:20 | 0:18:23 | |
-Donald Duck. -And I'm the Dalai Lama. | 0:18:23 | 0:18:26 | |
'My recording business was booming to the point where supply - me - | 0:18:27 | 0:18:31 | |
'couldn't possibly keep up with demand - | 0:18:31 | 0:18:33 | |

Oh, no, it'll all be over the front page of the Weatherfield Gazette | 0:18:50 | 0:18:53 | |
on Friday. Bet Lynch is definitely back in circulation. | 0:18:53 | 0:18:56 | |
Haven't you seen this episode? | 0:18:56 | 0:18:58 | |
Yeah. We recorded it. | 0:18:58 | 0:19:01 | |
How many times have you watched it? | 0:19:01 | 0:19:03 | |
About...ten. | 0:19:03 | 0:19:04 | |
Mad. | 0:19:04 | 0:19:05 | |
Oh, who's turned off the record player?! | 0:19:07 | 0:19:09 | |
I did! I was sick of hearing Pink bloody Floyd. | 0:19:09 | 0:19:11 | |
Well, I'm never going to finish if you keep turning it off. | 0:19:11 | 0:19:14 | |
You'll never finish by the look of that pile of letters. | 0:19:14 | 0:19:16 | |
And there's two posts tomorrow. | 0:19:16 | 0:19:18 | |
Lucky for you your father's workin' late tonight. | 0:19:18 | 0:19:21 | |
Argh! | 0:19:21 | 0:19:22 | |
So how long's it been, then, since this was last done? | 0:19:28 | 0:19:30 | |
Whoa. It's gotta be 10, 15 years. | 0:19:30 | 0:19:33 | |
Archie Clarke was the best at it. | 0:19:33 | 0:19:35 | |
-Archie Clarke? Didn't he drown or somethin'? -Yeah. | 0:19:35 | 0:19:39 | |
Doin' this? | 0:19:39 | 0:19:40 | |
Indirectly. | 0:19:40 | 0:19:41 | |
He was on his way home from doing this and he got pissed | 0:19:41 | 0:19:44 | |
and fell off the Woolwich ferry. | 0:19:44 | 0:19:45 | |
All right, chaps, have I missed it? | 0:19:45 | 0:19:47 | |
-Where you been? -Sorry, Spud, I can't resist her toad in the 'ole. | 0:19:47 | 0:19:51 | |
What's happenin'? | 0:19:51 | 0:19:52 | |
THEY LAUGH | 0:19:52 | 0:19:55 | |
Alfie! Never thought I'd see you back in the docks - | 0:19:56 | 0:19:58 | |
I thought you took the money? | 0:19:58 | 0:19:59 | |
He did. That's why he needs the work. | 0:19:59 | 0:20:01 | |
What you been doin' down there? | 0:20:01 | 0:20:02 | |
What do you think I've been...? Playing bleeding golf? | 0:20:02 | 0:20:07 | |
Here you are, I found it all on the bottom ready to bring up. | 0:20:07 | 0:20:10 | |
Yes, look at this. At last, a chance to earn. | 0:20:10 | 0:20:15 | |
Ho-ho! | 0:20:15 | 0:20:17 | |
So, how's it goin', then, Alf? | 0:20:17 | 0:20:18 | |
Terrible. I just miss everyone. | 0:20:18 | 0:20:20 | |
You don't know how much it's part of your life | 0:20:20 | 0:20:22 | |
till you're out of it all. | 0:20:22 | 0:20:23 | |
Fucking hell! It's like vinegar! | 0:20:26 | 0:20:29 | |
Not only does it taste like vinegar. It is vinegar. | 0:20:30 | 0:20:33 | |
Look - vinagre - vinegar. | 0:20:33 | 0:20:35 | |
Right, sherry vinegar? Look at that! | 0:20:35 | 0:20:38 | |
How are we supposed to shift that?! | 0:20:38 | 0:20:41 | |
Oh, what a waste of time! | 0:20:41 | 0:20:42 | |
I could have been at home having apple crumble now. | 0:20:42 | 0:20:45 | |
What's goin' on here? | 0:20:45 | 0:20:46 | |
(Fuckin' arseholes.) | 0:20:46 | 0:20:48 | |
Night fishin'. Just doin' a spot of night fishin', that's all. | 0:20:48 | 0:20:51 | |
-SPLASH -What was that? | 0:20:51 | 0:20:52 | |
That one was too small, threw it back. | 0:20:52 | 0:20:54 | |
'Always conduct yourself as an innocent man, Dad told us. | 0:20:54 | 0:20:57 | |
'Of course, he was an expert at it.' | 0:20:57 | 0:20:59 | |
Anyway, you shouldn't be on dock premises after working hours. | 0:20:59 | 0:21:02 | |
Er, that's not true. | 0:21:02 | 0:21:03 | |
Under the Port of London Charter of 1903, dockers are permitted | 0:21:03 | 0:21:06 | |
to fish in the waters in which they toil, at any time, day or night. | 0:21:06 | 0:21:10 | |
I'd like to see that in black and white. | 0:21:10 | 0:21:12 | |
No need, son. It's filed away, up here. | 0:21:12 | 0:21:16 | |
Why's he in a wetsuit? | 0:21:16 | 0:21:19 | |
We're after skate. | 0:21:19 | 0:21:21 | |
What? | 0:21:21 | 0:21:22 | |
Skate. Fish. They're bottom feeders, ain't they? | 0:21:22 | 0:21:25 | |
Port of London Charter of 1903 again? | 0:21:25 | 0:21:27 | |
No. 1907, that one, 1907. | 0:21:27 | 0:21:28 | |
That's about right for you lot, ain't it, eh? | 0:21:28 | 0:21:30 | |
You're all well out of date. | 0:21:30 | 0:21:32 | |
Within two years, there won't be no dockers left round here. | 0:21:32 | 0:21:35 | |
Oh, yeah? Well, what will be here, then, clever bollocks? | 0:21:35 | 0:21:37 | |
Money. Real money, not your little scams. | 0:21:37 | 0:21:40 | |
That's all getting bought up for property, innit? | 0:21:40 | 0:21:43 | |
You're round the twist. This is the busiest port in the world. | 0:21:43 | 0:21:47 | |
-They'll always need blokes like us, mate. -Correct. | 0:21:47 | 0:21:50 | |
So why are they offering you 1,200 quid to go away? | 0:21:50 | 0:21:53 | |
That's a lot of piss-off money for someone they want to keep. | 0:21:53 | 0:21:56 | |
Come on. | 0:21:56 | 0:21:57 | |
Fucking arseholes. | 0:21:59 | 0:22:01 | |
# I shot the sheriff | 0:22:01 | 0:22:03 | |
# But I did not shoot the deputy... # | 0:22:03 | 0:22:06 | |
How much? | 0:22:06 | 0:22:07 | |
See for yourself. | 0:22:07 | 0:22:09 | |
-1,500 quid! -Mmm. | 0:22:09 | 0:22:10 | |
Oh, my good God, Fred, you've got to at least think about it. £1,500. | 0:22:10 | 0:22:16 | |
I can earn that in six months, Bet. What's the point of takin' it, | 0:22:16 | 0:22:20 | |
then, in six months, not havin' a job? | 0:22:20 | 0:22:22 | |
Any more mail? | 0:22:24 | 0:22:25 | |
Yeah. | 0:22:26 | 0:22:27 | |
Yeah, one or two bits. | 0:22:27 | 0:22:29 | |
But none of it's for you. | 0:22:29 | 0:22:31 | |
-What the fuckin' 'ell's that? -Here, look at that. | 0:22:32 | 0:22:35 | |
-Who's moved in, The Beatles? -You'd better ask Danny. Look. | 0:22:35 | 0:22:38 | |
Danny? Oi, Danny. | 0:22:38 | 0:22:41 | |
What you done? Knocked off a mail train? What's this? | 0:22:41 | 0:22:44 | |
Sit down, Ronnie Biggs. | 0:22:44 | 0:22:45 | |
And this had better all be straight. | 0:22:45 | 0:22:48 | |
Be a first time in this house if it is. | 0:22:48 | 0:22:51 | |
Well, I was just foraging, | 0:22:51 | 0:22:54 | |
trying to get a few quid together, like YOU do. | 0:22:54 | 0:22:56 | |
But I've gone in over me head. | 0:22:56 | 0:22:58 | |
I don't know what to do, Dad. | 0:22:58 | 0:22:59 | |
What have you been doing?! | 0:22:59 | 0:23:01 | |
Taping LPs and selling 'em. | 0:23:01 | 0:23:02 | |
Which is illegal, by the way, copyright, they call it. | 0:23:02 | 0:23:04 | |
I've been trying to pay back | 0:23:04 | 0:23:06 | |
Joey Churcher for this video recorder thing. | 0:23:06 | 0:23:08 | |
Owes him 100 quid, don't he? | 0:23:08 | 0:23:10 | |
He's asked you for 100 quid for that thing, | 0:23:10 | 0:23:12 | |
what his mate knocked off for nothin'? | 0:23:12 | 0:23:14 | |
Right, you leave Joey Churcher to me, | 0:23:14 | 0:23:16 | |
I'll sort him out. He owes me a few favours. | 0:23:16 | 0:23:18 | |
What about the letters? I've had so many, I'll be | 0:23:18 | 0:23:20 | |
taping till Christmas and I still won't finish. | 0:23:20 | 0:23:22 | |
Never mind them. I'll take them down the dump and burn 'em. | 0:23:22 | 0:23:25 | |
Thanks, Dad. | 0:23:25 | 0:23:26 | |
Listen to me, Danny. | 0:23:26 | 0:23:27 | |
And you. Doors are closin', the world is changin'. | 0:23:27 | 0:23:30 | |
We've got to learn to do things straight. That's the future now. | 0:23:30 | 0:23:33 | |
Skulduggery, that's all finished. | 0:23:33 | 0:23:35 | |
What about all the money? | 0:23:35 | 0:23:38 | |
Money? What money? What are you talking about, money? | 0:23:38 | 0:23:40 | |
They've been sending money to do their tapes. Then most of them | 0:23:40 | 0:23:43 | |
have been selling 'em on to their mates for a profit. | 0:23:43 | 0:23:45 | |
So there's money in all these? | 0:23:45 | 0:23:47 | |
Yeah. Better chuck the whole lot. | 0:23:47 | 0:23:49 | |
Never mind that. You get to school. | 0:23:49 | 0:23:51 | |
I'll sort these out. Bet, another cup of tea! | 0:23:51 | 0:23:54 | |
'Dad was very scrupulous. | 0:23:55 | 0:23:58 | |
'Kids who only wanted one tape got their money back. | 0:23:58 | 0:24:00 | |
'But those who to make a profit out of my efforts weren't so lucky. | 0:24:00 | 0:24:04 | |
'Soon there was enough to pay off Joey Churcher | 0:24:04 | 0:24:07 | |
'plus a "reasonable surplus", as Dad put it, on top.' | 0:24:07 | 0:24:10 | |
Woo-hoo, like I've always told you, Bet, everyone's at it. | 0:24:10 | 0:24:14 | |
Unfortunately for this mob, some of us | 0:24:14 | 0:24:16 | |
have been at it a lot longer than others. | 0:24:16 | 0:24:18 | |
'And that surplus, he immediately put to good use.' | 0:24:18 | 0:24:22 | |
I always promised meself one day I'd sit here and be served. | 0:24:22 | 0:24:28 | |
You can choose what you like, Kath, it's all on us. | 0:24:28 | 0:24:30 | |
Alfie! | 0:24:30 | 0:24:32 | |
Certainly, madam. | 0:24:32 | 0:24:33 | |
On behalf of the new management, what can I get you? | 0:24:33 | 0:24:35 | |
Ooh, it's good to see you back, Alf. | 0:24:35 | 0:24:37 | |
It's nice to be back. | 0:24:37 | 0:24:39 | |
Well, I'll have a nice cup o' tea and, er, one of them Bakewell tarts. | 0:24:39 | 0:24:45 | |
Of course, comin' right up. | 0:24:45 | 0:24:47 | |
You sure you want to part with that, Kath? | 0:24:47 | 0:24:49 | |
They've been in the family a long time. | 0:24:49 | 0:24:50 | |
And wash your bleeding hands before you serve it! | 0:24:50 | 0:24:54 | |
She's got a point! | 0:24:54 | 0:24:56 | |
Me and Cliff are so grateful to you boys. | 0:24:56 | 0:24:58 | |
It was Spud what come up with it all, thank him. | 0:24:58 | 0:25:02 | |
Well... | 0:25:02 | 0:25:03 | |
Two cups of tea. | 0:25:07 | 0:25:09 | |
Sorry, gents. | 0:25:09 | 0:25:11 | |
What's that supposed to mean? | 0:25:11 | 0:25:13 | |
It's there in black and white. Dockers only! | 0:25:13 | 0:25:16 | |
In other words, piss off out of it, go on. | 0:25:16 | 0:25:20 | |
Get on out of it. | 0:25:20 | 0:25:21 | |
'So Kath got her retirement money, Alfie was back in the docks | 0:25:21 | 0:25:24 | |
'and Dad had stayed ahead of the game again.' | 0:25:24 | 0:25:27 | |
HE SIGHS Can we turn over? | 0:25:29 | 0:25:31 | |
No, I want to tape This Is Your Life. | 0:25:31 | 0:25:32 | |
-It'll be Des O'Connor. -You say that every week. | 0:25:32 | 0:25:34 | |
No, I don't. I was right the other week with Ray Alan. | 0:25:34 | 0:25:38 | |
No, you just said "a ventriloquist". | 0:25:38 | 0:25:40 | |
Yeah, Ray Alan, he's a ventriloquist. | 0:25:40 | 0:25:43 | |
Anyway, I don't know why they act all shocked, they've all been told. | 0:25:43 | 0:25:46 | |
It's all set up in advance. | 0:25:46 | 0:25:47 | |
What you doing? | 0:25:47 | 0:25:50 | |
Fred. | 0:25:50 | 0:25:51 | |
What? | 0:25:51 | 0:25:52 | |
-Fred. -What? | 0:25:54 | 0:25:56 | |
Sharon and Roger want to get married. | 0:25:56 | 0:25:58 | |
-How much? -What?! | 0:25:58 | 0:25:59 | |
I mean, when? | 0:25:59 | 0:26:01 | |
In the summer. | 0:26:01 | 0:26:03 | |
All right, summer. | 0:26:03 | 0:26:06 | |
All right. | 0:26:06 | 0:26:08 | |
-Is that it? -Yeah. | 0:26:08 | 0:26:11 | |
-They'll be back in a minute. -What? | 0:26:11 | 0:26:12 | |
Sharon was expecting you to go off like a rocket. | 0:26:12 | 0:26:15 | |
-Why? -You've chased the last four of her boyfriends over the back wall. | 0:26:15 | 0:26:18 | |
Well, I like Roger, he's a good bloke. | 0:26:18 | 0:26:23 | |
Yeah, he reminds me of someone. | 0:26:23 | 0:26:26 | |
-Who? -You. | 0:26:26 | 0:26:28 | |
Sharon say's he ain't even bought her a ring yet | 0:26:28 | 0:26:31 | |
in case you said no and he was lumbered with it. | 0:26:31 | 0:26:33 | |
Well, what's wrong with that? | 0:26:33 | 0:26:35 | |
-Don't, don't... -What? -No. Come on. Bless. | 0:26:40 | 0:26:44 | |
All right? | 0:26:45 | 0:26:47 | |
Are you taping This Is Your Life? | 0:26:48 | 0:26:49 | |
Yeah, it's on after this. | 0:26:49 | 0:26:51 | |
It's all set up, Sharon, they know in advance. | 0:26:51 | 0:26:54 | |
Correct, just been saying that to her mother. | 0:26:54 | 0:26:57 | |
Oh, don't spoil it. | 0:26:57 | 0:26:58 | |
I like to see who's the surprise guest is that comes on last. | 0:26:58 | 0:27:01 | |
So do I. | 0:27:01 | 0:27:02 | |
Weren't much of a surprise last week with Ray Alan and Lord Charles. | 0:27:02 | 0:27:06 | |
It was a fucking puppet. | 0:27:06 | 0:27:08 | |
Right, I will go and put the kettle on. | 0:27:11 | 0:27:13 | |
Anyway, Dad... | 0:27:16 | 0:27:18 | |
What? | 0:27:18 | 0:27:20 | |
Roger's got somethin' to tell you. | 0:27:20 | 0:27:22 | |
-Has he? -Have I? | 0:27:22 | 0:27:24 | |
(Tell him!) | 0:27:24 | 0:27:27 | |
Yeah. | 0:27:28 | 0:27:29 | |
He's asked me to marry him. | 0:27:31 | 0:27:34 | |
-He's what? -We're only engaged, Fred. | 0:27:34 | 0:27:36 | |
I told her to leave it for now, but she wanted to tell you. | 0:27:36 | 0:27:39 | |
You're getting married?! | 0:27:39 | 0:27:40 | |
Well...yeah! | 0:27:40 | 0:27:42 | |
Right...well... | 0:27:43 | 0:27:47 | |
I already knew that. | 0:27:47 | 0:27:49 | |
What? | 0:27:49 | 0:27:51 | |
Your mother told me earlier. | 0:27:51 | 0:27:52 | |
Oh, you are rotten, the pair of you! | 0:27:52 | 0:27:55 | |
It was his idea to wind you up. | 0:27:55 | 0:27:57 | |
You're not angry? | 0:27:57 | 0:27:59 | |
I'm not a nutcase, am I? | 0:27:59 | 0:28:00 | |
Come here, girl. Congratulations, boy. | 0:28:00 | 0:28:03 | |
-Thanks, Fred. -Positive you want to go through with this, Rog? | 0:28:03 | 0:28:05 | |
Yes, he is, thank you very much! | 0:28:05 | 0:28:07 | |
She's been out with a few, you know. | 0:28:07 | 0:28:09 | |
