0:00:12 > 0:00:17# We are the boys who will stop your little game

0:00:17 > 0:00:22# We are the boys who will make you think again

0:00:22 > 0:00:27# Cos who do you think you are kidding, Mr Hitler

0:00:27 > 0:00:31# If you think old England's done?

0:00:31 > 0:00:36# Mr Brown goes off to town on the 8.21

0:00:36 > 0:00:38# But he comes home each evening

0:00:38 > 0:00:41# And he's ready with his gun

0:00:43 > 0:00:46# You are kidding, Mr Hitler

0:00:46 > 0:00:50# If you think old England's done? #

0:00:52 > 0:00:56You've been left holding the baby.

0:00:56 > 0:00:59Yes, I have. Do you mind if

0:00:59 > 0:01:03- I set this Lewis gun up while we talk?- Not at all.

0:01:03 > 0:01:09It's my first job every morning. In case of a sudden attack.

0:01:09 > 0:01:14Quite... Now, the late Mr Johnson...

0:01:14 > 0:01:18- As you know...- Excuse me a moment.

0:01:19 > 0:01:22- PIKE!- Sir?- Tell Carter Patterson

0:01:22 > 0:01:26to move their van. It's blocking our line of fire.

0:01:33 > 0:01:37Sorry about that, Mr, er...

0:01:37 > 0:01:42The late Mr Johnson had no relatives...

0:01:42 > 0:01:48Ah, this is my Chief Clerk. He's dealing with Mr Johnson's affairs.

0:01:48 > 0:01:50When Mr Johnson died,

0:01:50 > 0:01:55his only possessions were the clothes he stood up in

0:01:55 > 0:01:58and his boat, the Naughty Jane.

0:01:58 > 0:02:04It has to be sold, but not many people want a boat in war-time.

0:02:04 > 0:02:06There's another problem.

0:02:06 > 0:02:12Unfortunately, his account was overdrawn. Here it is, sir.

0:02:12 > 0:02:14£33.12/6d.

0:02:14 > 0:02:21Ah... Hmm... In that case, the boat becomes the property of the bank

0:02:21 > 0:02:25and can be sold to offset this overdraft.

0:02:25 > 0:02:31Perhaps we could put an advertisement in the local paper.

0:02:31 > 0:02:34Yes, do that, Wilson.

0:02:34 > 0:02:39I'll leave you my account, in case you do manage to sell the boat,

0:02:39 > 0:02:41and there's any money left over.

0:02:41 > 0:02:45- Oh...! Goodbye.- Goodbye.

0:02:45 > 0:02:48- I'll see you out.- Good day to you.

0:02:52 > 0:02:56Here are the particulars of the rowing boat.

0:02:56 > 0:03:0115 feet long, four oars, seaworthy condition.

0:03:01 > 0:03:06You can't go rowing about in the sea in war-time!

0:03:06 > 0:03:12No, it's on the river. Anybody can go and look at it, if they want to.

0:03:12 > 0:03:16Now, I think we... Wait a minute!

0:03:16 > 0:03:20- I've had an idea!- Be careful, sir! Please, be careful.

0:03:20 > 0:03:23River patrols! That's it, Wilson!

0:03:23 > 0:03:27Half a dozen determined armed men in a boat

0:03:27 > 0:03:31could play havoc with the Nazis if they got a foothold!

0:03:31 > 0:03:36Swift, silent patrols, hitting the enemy where it hurts most!

0:03:36 > 0:03:42Then disappearing into the night, silently cutting through the water.

0:03:42 > 0:03:46- Muffled oars, of course. - Muffled oars...?

0:03:46 > 0:03:50That's how Wolfe captured Quebec -

0:03:50 > 0:03:55rowed up the St Lawrence with muffled oars.

0:03:55 > 0:03:58What exactly ARE muffled oars?

0:03:58 > 0:04:03Well... We'll ask someone about that.

0:04:03 > 0:04:06We're on duty five nights a week.

0:04:06 > 0:04:08The Novelty Rock Emporium, Godfrey's cottage,

0:04:08 > 0:04:14the gasworks, the railway bridge, mobile patrols.

0:04:14 > 0:04:17I mean, really... It... It's too much.

0:04:17 > 0:04:22Do I detect a slight lack of enthusiasm?

0:04:22 > 0:04:24We must have some rest, sir.

0:04:24 > 0:04:29I realise that. I just want to try it out.

0:04:29 > 0:04:34We'll try this boat out after tea this afternoon.

0:04:34 > 0:04:36I'll want six volunteers.

0:04:36 > 0:04:42Detail Pike, Desmond, Frazer, Jones, Walker and Godfrey.

0:04:42 > 0:04:43All right, Sir...

0:04:46 > 0:04:50Thank you all for coming.

0:04:50 > 0:04:56I'd also like to thank Sgt Wilson for mocking up this very good boat.

0:04:56 > 0:05:01Thank you, sir. My nanny taught me how to do that in nursery.

0:05:01 > 0:05:04Did she? Take your place.

0:05:04 > 0:05:10- Right, sir.- Now, I want to work out some sort of drill with you.

0:05:10 > 0:05:13There may be people watching

0:05:13 > 0:05:18when we're on the river and we don't want to make fools of ourselves.

0:05:18 > 0:05:21With him in charge, what choice have we got?!

0:05:21 > 0:05:25You may not believe this, but until yesterday,

0:05:25 > 0:05:28I knew nothing at all about boats.

0:05:28 > 0:05:31I was a nautical virgin.

0:05:35 > 0:05:39I knew there was only one person who could help - Miss Beckworth.

0:05:39 > 0:05:44I told her about it and she gave me a little handbook -

0:05:44 > 0:05:47"How to Handle Your Oars."

0:05:49 > 0:05:52It's issued to the Sea Scouts.

0:05:52 > 0:05:57I can safely say I have mastered the basic points of boatmanship.

0:05:57 > 0:06:03If I go wrong, I'm sure Frazer will be glad to put me right.

0:06:03 > 0:06:06Aye, I will!

0:06:06 > 0:06:10Sorry I'm late, sir. I was playing bowls.

0:06:10 > 0:06:13That's a good omen - so was Drake.

0:06:13 > 0:06:19- May I enquire what they're doing? - Sitting in a boat.

0:06:19 > 0:06:22- Take your place. Forward.- For'ard.

0:06:22 > 0:06:26- What?- The word is "for'ard."

0:06:26 > 0:06:31Ah, yes, for'ard. We must get these things right.

0:06:31 > 0:06:35- Frazer is the cockswain.- Cocks'n!

0:06:35 > 0:06:42- Cocks'n, yes... I sit next to him here...- Aft!- On the aft.

0:06:43 > 0:06:47I shall be in overall charge.

0:06:47 > 0:06:53Move your legs, boy! Right, pass round the oars, Pike.

0:06:53 > 0:06:58I volunteer to do that, sir!

0:06:58 > 0:07:02I was disappointed you wouldn't let me be the cockswain, sir.

0:07:02 > 0:07:04Oh, all right!

0:07:04 > 0:07:09Thank you very much, sir. Right, here's your oars...

0:07:11 > 0:07:16Now, hold the oars vertically, with the blades in the air.

0:07:16 > 0:07:20Right... Not quite so high, Pike.

0:07:20 > 0:07:24Bring it down, boy. That's right. Balance it on your thwart.

0:07:27 > 0:07:30Now, when I give the command,

0:07:30 > 0:07:33- "Ship oars," lower them down into the...- Rollocks!

0:07:36 > 0:07:38What did you say?

0:07:39 > 0:07:45- Rollocks.- Ah! Lower them down into the rowlocks.

0:07:47 > 0:07:49Go on.

0:07:51 > 0:07:57Now, on the command, "Catch," sink the blades into the water.

0:07:57 > 0:08:03On the command, "Pull," you pull. When he says, "Up," you...up.

0:08:03 > 0:08:08When he says, "Feather," you... Let's just try it.

0:08:08 > 0:08:12Blades back, boys... Catch! Pull!

0:08:12 > 0:08:18Up! Feather! Catch! Pull! Up! Feather...

0:08:18 > 0:08:21Hold it... Corporal!

0:08:21 > 0:08:24JONES! You're not keeping up!

0:08:24 > 0:08:28He ain't half giving the floor a good clean!

0:08:30 > 0:08:33Now, if we want the boat to stop,

0:08:33 > 0:08:38I give the command, "Hold water." Have you got that? "Hold water."

0:08:38 > 0:08:41- Excuse me, sir...- Yes, Godfrey?

0:08:41 > 0:08:48- I can do a little rowing, if it's needed.- Oh, thank you, Godfrey.

0:08:48 > 0:08:53We'll carry on as we are for now. Let's have another go, Frazer.

0:08:53 > 0:08:57Catch! Pull! Up! Feather! >

0:08:57 > 0:09:00Catch! Pull! Up! Feather!

0:09:00 > 0:09:02Catch! Pull...

0:09:02 > 0:09:04Feather! Catch!

0:09:04 > 0:09:08Pull! Up! Feather! >

0:09:08 > 0:09:11Catch! Pull! Up! Feather!

0:09:11 > 0:09:13Excellent, men.

0:09:13 > 0:09:18Catch! Pull! Up! Feather!

0:09:18 > 0:09:23- Good idea of mine to have a practice.- It was indeed, sir.

0:09:23 > 0:09:26There's quite a few people watching.

0:09:26 > 0:09:31- I think we're making a good impression.- Yes, sir, awfully good.

0:09:31 > 0:09:35- Keep it up, son!- Yes, come on, Pike.

0:09:35 > 0:09:37You'll throw the whole stroke out.

0:09:37 > 0:09:43- I can't help it. I feel sick. - But it's as calm as a millpond!

0:09:43 > 0:09:45I still feel sick!

0:09:45 > 0:09:47Hold water!

0:09:51 > 0:09:57- You're showing us up in front of the public!- I can't help it.

0:09:57 > 0:10:02Lie down in the bottom of the boat. I shall have to take your place.

0:10:02 > 0:10:07- Is that wise?- You can observe

0:10:07 > 0:10:10the correct procedure for walking about on a boat.

0:10:15 > 0:10:20Catch! PULL! Up! Feather!

0:10:20 > 0:10:23- Catch! PULL...- Captain Mainwaring!

0:10:23 > 0:10:28Permission to stop catching up and pulling and feathering, sir.

0:10:28 > 0:10:34- It's getting a bit foggy. - It's only a bit of sea mist.

0:10:34 > 0:10:39I know this stretch of water like the back of my hand.

0:10:39 > 0:10:44We'll just row to the mouth of the river, then turn back.

0:10:44 > 0:10:47I can hardly see to read.

0:10:52 > 0:10:58- Blimey, it ain't half coming up. - Oh, all right, turn the boat round.

0:10:58 > 0:11:05Aye, sir. You, stop rowing. You two, catch, pull, up, feather!

0:11:05 > 0:11:08Catch! PULL! Up! Feather!

0:11:08 > 0:11:13All together! Catch! PULL! Up! Feather!

0:11:13 > 0:11:18- Are you sure you've turned the boat round?- Of course I have!

0:11:18 > 0:11:23- Can you see the bank, Wilson? - I can't even see YOU.

0:11:23 > 0:11:29- You'd better relieve me, so I can concentrate on the navigation.- Sir.

0:11:29 > 0:11:32Pike... PIKE! Get in the bottom of the boat...

0:11:37 > 0:11:40- OW! You trod on me!- Frank, I'm sorry.

0:11:40 > 0:11:43I didn't know you were there.

0:11:43 > 0:11:49- I'll take over the steering. - You know nothing about it!- Frazer!

0:11:49 > 0:11:52- Is that wise?- I didn't ask you!

0:11:52 > 0:11:57Right, all pull together. Come on, PULL!

0:11:57 > 0:12:01PULL! Put your back into it, Wilson!

0:12:01 > 0:12:04- I'm trying!- It'll soon be dark.

0:12:04 > 0:12:08- We won't be able to see a thing. - It's hardly crystal-clear now!

0:12:09 > 0:12:15Right, PULL! PULL...

0:12:20 > 0:12:22Right, rest on your oars, men.

0:12:24 > 0:12:28Thank goodness the mist is lifting. We should be well upstream by now.

0:12:28 > 0:12:30Can you see the bank, Frazer?

0:12:30 > 0:12:35I'm having nothing to do wi' this. I wash my hands of the whole affair.

0:12:35 > 0:12:38No need to sulk about it.

0:12:38 > 0:12:44- Uncle.- Yes?- I feel awful. Can I have a glass of water?

0:12:44 > 0:12:48Don't be absurd! I don't have one!

0:12:48 > 0:12:50Hang on, I'll get you water...

0:12:52 > 0:12:56- That's full of germs! - Do you want a drink or not? There.

0:13:01 > 0:13:05Eurgh! It's all salty!

0:13:05 > 0:13:07Salt?!

0:13:07 > 0:13:11- Salt?!- SALT?! It IS! It's salt!

0:13:11 > 0:13:14If it's salt, we're at sea.

0:13:14 > 0:13:18DON'T PANIC! DON'T PANIC!

0:13:22 > 0:13:28- I thought you were a sailor! - YOU took over the steering!

0:13:28 > 0:13:31Quiet, everybody, and let me think.

0:13:34 > 0:13:39Permission to speak, sir! Why don't we all shout, "Help"?

0:13:39 > 0:13:46- Good idea. - Wouldn't "Ahoy" sound more urgent?

0:13:46 > 0:13:50Yes, perhaps you're right. Right, we'll all shout together...

0:13:50 > 0:13:54ALL: AHOY! AHOY!

0:13:56 > 0:13:59- AHOY!- Ahoy...

0:14:04 > 0:14:06I don't think anyone heard us, sir.

0:14:06 > 0:14:11If we rowed north, that would take us back to the shore.

0:14:11 > 0:14:17Good thinking. Where's the north, Frazer?

0:14:17 > 0:14:19Why ask me? You know it all!

0:14:19 > 0:14:24Take another look at the back o' yer hand!

0:14:24 > 0:14:27- You're being very childish!- Ach!

0:14:27 > 0:14:31Now, anybody here got any suggestions?

0:14:31 > 0:14:33Moss grows on the north of trees,

0:14:33 > 0:14:38- if that's any help.- No, it's not!

0:14:38 > 0:14:42Point the hour hand of a watch at the sun,

0:14:42 > 0:14:46halve the angle between it and 12 o'clock, and that's south.

0:14:46 > 0:14:53- It happens to be dark, Corporal! - We could point it at the moon...

0:14:53 > 0:14:59No, it must be the sun. We used to find our way like that in the Sudan.

0:14:59 > 0:15:05There was a lot of sun out there, except at night, of course.

0:15:05 > 0:15:11- The North Star might be a help. - You need the Great Bear for that.

0:15:11 > 0:15:14That's a group of stars that looks like a milk saucepan.

0:15:14 > 0:15:19The handle points towards the north.

0:15:19 > 0:15:21If it was a saucepan,

0:15:21 > 0:15:25- that's where you'd pour the milk. - Hence the Milky Way!

0:15:25 > 0:15:27HE GROANS

0:15:27 > 0:15:34Walker, I've rebuked you many times for passing stupid remarks,

0:15:34 > 0:15:37but I'm glad the gravity of the situation

0:15:37 > 0:15:41has not killed your lively Cockney humour.

0:15:41 > 0:15:43Chaps like you are the backbone of England.

0:15:49 > 0:15:51I'm only trying to keep us cheerful.

0:15:51 > 0:15:57Precisely. It's comforting that we're all sticking together.

0:16:02 > 0:16:09- Captain Mainwaring...- Hm? - I'd like to apologise.

0:16:09 > 0:16:14- I've behaved very badly. - Thank you, Frazer.

0:16:14 > 0:16:18Now, perhaps you'll tell us where the north is.

0:16:18 > 0:16:22- I can't.- Why not? - Because I don't bloody well know!

0:16:24 > 0:16:29Do ye think I'd be sitting here wi' you stupid Sassenachs if I knew the way?!

0:16:29 > 0:16:32- What about the stars? - It's too cloudy!

0:16:32 > 0:16:35Sir... If you take a piece of cotton

0:16:35 > 0:16:42with a needle on the end and dangle it over your hand,

0:16:42 > 0:16:46it always swings towards the north.

0:16:46 > 0:16:51That's for pregnant women, to see if they'll have a boy or girl!

0:16:51 > 0:16:54Yes, it's good for that, an' all.

0:17:03 > 0:17:05- Uncle Arthur.- What is it?

0:17:05 > 0:17:08I read a story in "Hotspur" once

0:17:08 > 0:17:13about some men who were adrift for days and days in an open boat.

0:17:13 > 0:17:15In the end, they got so hungry,

0:17:15 > 0:17:22they had to draw lots to decide which one of them to eat.

0:17:22 > 0:17:29- Who lost?- The captain. - You stupid boy!

0:17:33 > 0:17:38I don't think I'd like to eat Mr Mainwaring. I know him too well.

0:17:38 > 0:17:42Oh, don't be silly, Frank!

0:17:45 > 0:17:48- Uncle Arthur...- What is it?

0:17:48 > 0:17:52Do you think I'll go blind?

0:17:56 > 0:18:01- What are you talking about?- They say if you do it, you'll go blind.

0:18:01 > 0:18:05- Do what...?- Drink sea-water.

0:18:06 > 0:18:11You don't go blind from drinking sea-water. You go mad, instead.

0:18:14 > 0:18:17- Will I go mad?- Don't be silly.

0:18:17 > 0:18:21- The Ancient Mariner did. - He drank rather more than you did!

0:18:25 > 0:18:31- What's the time, Wilson? - What? I'll just sit up a bit. It's rather difficult down here.

0:18:31 > 0:18:34- Five o'clock.- Is it?- Yes, sir.

0:18:34 > 0:18:38All right, pay attention, men.

0:18:42 > 0:18:45It'll be light soon. We'll be spotted by a boat.

0:18:45 > 0:18:53- What happens if we're not spotted? - There will be plenty of boats about.

0:18:53 > 0:18:54Suppose it's a German boat, sir?

0:18:54 > 0:19:00There are no German boats in the ENGLISH Channel!

0:19:05 > 0:19:10- Permission to speak, sir.- Hmm? - I can hear voices from over there!

0:19:10 > 0:19:13FAINT VOICES

0:19:13 > 0:19:15There they are again, sir!

0:19:17 > 0:19:22By Jove, you're right! We must be near the shore!

0:19:22 > 0:19:28- Let's all shout "Ahoy" together. - Is that wise?- Please, Wilson!

0:19:28 > 0:19:32If we start shouting,

0:19:32 > 0:19:36they might mistake us for Germans and shoot at us.

0:19:36 > 0:19:39Yes, good thinking, Sergeant.

0:19:39 > 0:19:46We'll row in very quietly and then we'll all shout together.

0:19:46 > 0:19:48Then they'll know we're British.

0:19:48 > 0:19:54- Right.- Why don't we muffle our rollocks so they won't hear us?

0:19:54 > 0:19:58Good idea. Did you find out about that, sir?

0:19:58 > 0:20:05- Well, er...- We could use our forage caps.- That's how it's done, sir.

0:20:08 > 0:20:11All right. Take your places.

0:20:26 > 0:20:28Well done, men. We made it.

0:20:28 > 0:20:30When I say go,

0:20:30 > 0:20:33we all shout as loud as we can,

0:20:33 > 0:20:36"Ahoy there, we're British!"

0:20:36 > 0:20:38Ready?

0:20:45 > 0:20:50Permission to speak, sir... I don't think we're in England.

0:20:50 > 0:20:54My God! We've drifted across the Channel!

0:20:57 > 0:21:00Perhaps we should surrender.

0:21:00 > 0:21:03We are armed and in uniform.

0:21:03 > 0:21:06I'll pretend I never heard that!

0:21:06 > 0:21:09We can't fight the German Army!

0:21:09 > 0:21:11Why don't we shove off again?

0:21:11 > 0:21:14No, that's no good, Walker.

0:21:14 > 0:21:20It'll be light again soon. We'd be spotted at once in the open water.

0:21:20 > 0:21:25We must creep ashore and hide

0:21:25 > 0:21:29until the dark gets in. Start taking off your boots.

0:21:34 > 0:21:37(Keep close to the wall.)

0:21:37 > 0:21:41SINGING CONTINUES

0:21:43 > 0:21:49- Captain Mainwaring?- Yes, Godfrey? - Could I be excused for a moment?

0:21:49 > 0:21:54- Certainly not!- We were an awfully long time in that boat, sir.

0:21:54 > 0:22:00- You should have taken advantage of it!- My feet are killing me!

0:22:00 > 0:22:04Look, there's a railway siding.

0:22:04 > 0:22:06We'll hide in one of the trucks. Come on.

0:22:19 > 0:22:22Get in to one of these trucks.

0:22:28 > 0:22:31< SINGING CONTINUING

0:22:31 > 0:22:33- Give us a light, mate. - Sure.

0:22:33 > 0:22:34Ta.

0:22:37 > 0:22:42That racket's been going on all night! Some party, eh?

0:22:42 > 0:22:46They know how to celebrate, those French-Canadian pilots.

0:22:46 > 0:22:52- What's it in aid of? - Shooting down 50 Nazi planes.

0:22:52 > 0:22:56- Has no-one complained? - After what they did?!

0:22:56 > 0:22:58You're right. Good luck to 'em!

0:22:58 > 0:23:02Come along, come along!

0:23:02 > 0:23:05- Right, everybody here?- Yes, sir.

0:23:07 > 0:23:13- Right, start putting your boots on. - But what will we do next?

0:23:13 > 0:23:18Hide here till dark, then go and find the boat.

0:23:18 > 0:23:20We'll be here for a whole day!

0:23:20 > 0:23:23- Right...- We shall starve!

0:23:23 > 0:23:28Nonsense! It'll do you no harm. You eat too much as it is.

0:23:30 > 0:23:35All right, settle down. We may as well get what rest we can.

0:23:35 > 0:23:38# The last time I saw Paris... #

0:24:01 > 0:24:05- Mr Mainwaring!- What...? - Permission to worry you, sir.

0:24:07 > 0:24:12- What is it, Corporal? - Did-de-dum, did-de-dum, did-de-dum!

0:24:12 > 0:24:15- The train's moving!- What?!

0:24:20 > 0:24:25Good heavens! We're in the heart of the country!

0:24:25 > 0:24:28We're in the middle of France!

0:24:28 > 0:24:31DON'T PANIC! We're in France!

0:24:31 > 0:24:36- We're in the middle of France...! - All right, all right, settle down!

0:24:36 > 0:24:40- Sergeant.- Sir? - Immobilise the weapons,

0:24:40 > 0:24:43- so that they don't fall into enemy hands.- Sir.

0:24:43 > 0:24:50Take the bolts out of your rifles and throw them out of the door.

0:24:50 > 0:24:55- Take the spring out of that. - Right, sir.

0:24:55 > 0:25:00- We'll have to surrender, after all. - Of course we won't!

0:25:00 > 0:25:07- We'll drop off one by one and head back to the coast. - In these uniforms?!

0:25:07 > 0:25:10Take your blouses off.

0:25:10 > 0:25:13We've got civilian shirts on.

0:25:13 > 0:25:18- Roll up your tunics and tuck them under your shirt.- Is that wise?

0:25:18 > 0:25:24- Just get on with it.- We'll get shot as spies!- No, we won't.

0:25:24 > 0:25:29If the worst comes to the worst, put the tunics back on.

0:25:29 > 0:25:31Then they can't touch you.

0:25:33 > 0:25:39You're our inspiration, sir! What would we do without you?

0:25:39 > 0:25:43We wouldnae be in this awful mess!

0:25:43 > 0:25:46Line up. Come on.

0:25:46 > 0:25:48Line up...

0:25:52 > 0:25:58We're in a very tricky spot, but the situation isn't hopeless.

0:25:58 > 0:26:04Every time the train stops, we'll drop off one by one.

0:26:04 > 0:26:11Then it's up to every man to get across the Channel the best way he can.

0:26:11 > 0:26:16I'd like to say thank you to you all and wish you good luck.

0:26:16 > 0:26:19- Good luck.- Sir.

0:26:21 > 0:26:23Chin up, chin up.

0:26:23 > 0:26:26- Goodbye, Walker.- Good luck, sir.

0:26:26 > 0:26:29- Good luck, Frazer.- Cheeriebye, sir.

0:26:30 > 0:26:33You stick with me, Godfrey.

0:26:33 > 0:26:36- Goodbye, sir.- Goodbye, Corporal.

0:26:39 > 0:26:42- TRAIN SLOWS - Well, this is it.

0:26:42 > 0:26:47- Argh...!- Don't overdo it, sir.

0:26:48 > 0:26:54Right, Corporal, you're first. Open the door.

0:26:54 > 0:26:57You're still wearing your hat, sir!

0:26:57 > 0:27:00Hang on...

0:27:02 > 0:27:04Shut it!

0:27:08 > 0:27:14- We've stopped at a station! - I hope that man didn't see us! - Of course he saw us!

0:27:14 > 0:27:20We'll bluff our way out. What's French for, "What is this station?"

0:27:20 > 0:27:24Er... Qu'est-ce que c'est, la gare? Qu'est-ce que c'est, la gare?

0:27:24 > 0:27:26Right, open it.

0:27:31 > 0:27:37Bonjour, monsieur. Qu'est-ce que c'est la...la gare?

0:27:37 > 0:27:39Eh?

0:27:39 > 0:27:42Qu'est-ce que c'est la gare?

0:27:42 > 0:27:46Oh, er, la gare est Eastbourne, actually.

0:27:48 > 0:27:53- Why are you speaking French? - Because we're Briti... Er...

0:27:53 > 0:27:55We're in England!

0:27:57 > 0:27:59What are you doing here?

0:27:59 > 0:28:04- Waiting for the 12:30 to Walmington. - We can be back in time for lunch!

0:28:04 > 0:28:10We're not getting on any train. We're going back up that track for those rifle bolts.
