0:06:33 > 0:06:38And the aviary, 17 varieties of exotic birds. And a pelican.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40Everything that I told you we'd do, we've done.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43- That's the good news.- The good news?
0:06:43 > 0:06:46We need to make a final push.

0:06:48 > 0:06:51Do you mean to tell me you haven't built them yet?!
0:06:51 > 0:06:55George, without those, how are you going to make any money?
0:06:55 > 0:06:58My priority has been the animals, you see, their safety.

0:07:09 > 0:07:11I was called up to head office to explain myself, you know.

0:08:08 > 0:08:10Are you sure?

0:20:07 > 0:20:12I'm not. M'lady, I am offering you the chance...to sponsor Percy.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15But he'd still live here with you?
0:20:15 > 0:20:19- All the fun, none of the fuss. - I'd have to see him again first.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25This is our newest feature.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31Now imagine it, if you will,
0:20:31 > 0:20:35your name up there in proudly painted letters for all to see.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38The Lord and Lady Goodwin Penguin Enclosure.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40I know what's going on here.
0:20:40 > 0:20:41Well, I can assure you, M'lady...
0:20:41 > 0:20:44I will not be exploited, Mr Mottershead.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46It was Percy that got me all the way out here.
0:20:46 > 0:20:48- MONKEY CHITTERS - Oh!
0:20:54 > 0:20:56Ten pound a year. Call it a charitable donation.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02- And I'd have to be able to visit him whenever I liked.- Day or night.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04- Five.- Seven.
0:21:04 > 0:21:05Deal.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08Darling!
0:21:08 > 0:21:10There!
0:21:10 > 0:21:12Hello.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22It's got potential, but you'll need more than my donation
0:21:22 > 0:21:24to finish this place, you know.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26- What about your friends? - My friends?!
0:21:26 > 0:21:29Aye, we could...get 'em involved.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31Like have a... What do you call it?
0:21:31 > 0:21:34- A benefit.- What do you think?
0:21:34 > 0:21:38A fundraiser? Well, you've got some pluck, I'll give you that.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41Bye, Percy.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52Charming! Never even said goodbye.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55Oh, she probably thinks we're idiots, that's why.
0:21:55 > 0:21:59SHE SIGHS I should have known what tea I was serving!
0:21:59 > 0:22:03- Oh, don't be daft. - It was a test and I failed it.
0:22:03 > 0:22:07We don't belong in a big house like this,
0:22:07 > 0:22:09that's what people think.
0:22:17 > 0:22:18Mew...
0:22:18 > 0:22:21- have you met me friend? - CLATTERING
0:22:21 > 0:22:22Dad!
0:22:22 > 0:22:25Are you sure we shouldn't have spoken to Mum about this first?
0:22:25 > 0:22:27She'll be fine.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33Oh, two Mottersheads at once.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36To what do I owe the pleasure? Come in.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40Much obliged.
0:22:40 > 0:22:42The Chester Set, Lady Goodwin's friends.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44A genteel bunch, I'm sure.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47It's just a few hours in a place fitting for the occasion.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50- Look, I think a benefit is a fabulous...- And we'd pay for any breakages.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53- Not that there would be any, of course.- It's not about that.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56To get an invitation to a house like this, it makes a statement.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59Let Lady Katherine speak, Dad.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01And if we raised a decent amount,
0:23:01 > 0:23:04it'd make all the difference, wouldn't it?
0:23:04 > 0:23:06- Yes.- Yes?
0:23:06 > 0:23:09Yes, you can have your benefit here.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11- And you'll host it?- No! SHE LAUGHS
0:23:11 > 0:23:15- No, you're more than capable of hosting it yourself.- He's really not.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18You're part of the attraction, Katherine.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21It's a draughty old ballroom without you to add the class.
0:23:21 > 0:23:25It's your event, you don't need me involved.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27It wouldn't be appropriate.

0:23:34 > 0:23:38The whole village has signed it...almost.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41- Who are we missing?- The Fords.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44She does everything she can to avoid me. Barnaby, too.
0:23:44 > 0:23:48Well, they hold positions of influence.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50I think you need them both.

0:24:33 > 0:24:35so I thought I'd take you up on your kind offer.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37- I hope that's all right?- Of course.
0:24:39 > 0:24:42You know, Purcell was my late wife's favourite.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45Sorry, I...I had no idea.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48No, I'm grateful. You play it beautifully.

0:25:18 > 0:25:21Good afternoon, Reverend. Please hold for Councillor Tipping.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30Stay back, ladies!
0:25:30 > 0:25:32Where did it come from?
0:25:32 > 0:25:34Someone dumped it on the front step.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37I called the exterminator.
0:25:37 > 0:25:38There'll be no need for that.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45What's wrong, love? You're very quiet.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49Frankie? What are you doing?
0:25:52 > 0:25:54Plucking up the courage to knock.
0:25:54 > 0:25:55What's in the basket?
0:25:55 > 0:25:57A gift for George.
0:25:57 > 0:25:59Come in!
0:26:01 > 0:26:05How did the planning meeting go? We still haven't heard anything.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08Strictly speaking, those meetings are closed sessions,
0:26:08 > 0:26:11so I can't say much. But, put it this way,
0:26:11 > 0:26:14a doctor not so far from here gave the zoo a glowing recommendation.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18Music?
0:26:18 > 0:26:21Er... Your gramophone.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24Be sensible. You need skilled musicians for an event like this.
0:26:25 > 0:26:29- Booze? - Champagne. Only the finest.
0:26:29 > 0:26:30I'll get Billy onto that.
0:26:30 > 0:26:32Why do I suddenly feel nervous?
0:26:34 > 0:26:35Who's this?
0:26:35 > 0:26:38Agnes Franklin, Chester Council.
0:26:38 > 0:26:39I'm a big fan.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42Thank you. Please.
0:26:42 > 0:26:43Lizzie...
0:26:45 > 0:26:47It says Selborne Hall.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49Yeah, Katherine's very happy for us to use it.
0:26:50 > 0:26:54You're happy to throw our lot in with Lady Katherine Longmore, then?
0:26:54 > 0:26:57The bank won't lend us another penny, love.
0:26:57 > 0:26:58Besides she's not hosting it, we are.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00At her house.
0:27:00 > 0:27:02Well, we can hardly have it here.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13First the account at the shop, and now this.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16George, we're making her a big part of this zoo by taking her
0:27:16 > 0:27:18- hand-outs and we hardly know her. - We've got no choice.
0:27:18 > 0:27:20That's exactly my point.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22SCREAM
0:27:28 > 0:27:31Oh, it's all right, love, come here. He won't hurt you.
0:27:31 > 0:27:33He will!
0:27:33 > 0:27:34Someone left him outside the council.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37They called an exterminator but I talked him round.
0:27:37 > 0:27:39Put him down, Dad. He'll bite you.
0:27:39 > 0:27:42Hey, no, no, he won't, June Bug. It's a python.
0:27:42 > 0:27:44You've read about them in your book, June.
0:27:44 > 0:27:47They're nonvenomous, right, Dad?
0:27:47 > 0:27:49Doesn't stop him being a slimy devil.
0:28:07 > 0:28:11"In formal dining, the fabric of the napkins should be compatible
0:28:11 > 0:28:15"with the fine, smooth texture of the formal table cloth."
0:28:15 > 0:28:17Are you planning a sit-down supper?
0:28:17 > 0:28:19No, I don't think so.
0:28:21 > 0:28:24I suppose canapes could work for an event like this.
0:28:24 > 0:28:27And a clear soup, maybe? People do like something warming.
0:28:27 > 0:28:30- Yes, they do, don't they? - What drinks will you be serving?
0:28:32 > 0:28:34I would lend you Lord Ainslie's punch bowl
0:28:34 > 0:28:35but he's a bit touchy about it.
0:28:35 > 0:28:38It was a gift, you see, from the Austrian royal family.
0:28:38 > 0:28:40Oh, really?
0:28:40 > 0:28:42That's nice of them.
0:28:43 > 0:28:48Figs, walnuts...and caviar.
0:28:48 > 0:28:50- Caviar?! - Oh, dear, can you not get it?
0:28:50 > 0:28:54I can get hold of anything... given fair warning.
0:28:55 > 0:28:57Will you be paying with cash?
0:28:57 > 0:29:01Let's just put it on the Selborne Hall account for now, shall we?
0:29:09 > 0:29:10They stink of smoke.
0:29:10 > 0:29:13Warehouse fire. You can air them out.
0:29:13 > 0:29:16Look at the detail on that! There'll be no-one wearing finer, Muriel.
0:29:16 > 0:29:18- We need one for Frankie too. - Who's he?
0:29:19 > 0:29:21Hey.
0:29:24 > 0:29:26None of these bottles have labels.
0:29:26 > 0:29:28Shipwreck. Don't worry, we can stick some on.
0:29:28 > 0:29:32- But it's definitely Champagne inside?- I am insulted, Georgie.
0:29:32 > 0:29:33What about musicians?
0:29:33 > 0:29:36The Prague Philharmonic's playing the Manchester Opera House,
0:29:36 > 0:29:39I booked a few fellas from the string section on their night off.
0:29:40 > 0:29:42Billy?
0:29:42 > 0:29:43I'm impressed.
0:29:43 > 0:29:47"A lady should not attend a ball without an escort,
0:29:47 > 0:29:50"nor should she promenade the ballroom alone."
0:30:00 > 0:30:03- Do you own a dickie bow, Archie?- If this is another challenge, Muriel...
0:30:03 > 0:30:06- Are you free next Tuesday?- Me?
0:30:06 > 0:30:09We're having a benefit for the zoo.
0:30:09 > 0:30:11We're a date in the social calendar. I can hardly believe it.
0:30:13 > 0:30:14I could see if I'm available.
0:30:24 > 0:30:30# Lift up your voice and with us sing
0:30:30 > 0:30:33# Alleluia

0:30:37 > 0:30:43# Thou burning sun with golden beam. #
0:30:47 > 0:30:49- Bye, Sarah.- See you on Sunday.
0:30:49 > 0:30:54Practice makes perfect. How did that sound, Reverend?
0:30:54 > 0:30:56I'm at a loss, Barnaby.
0:30:56 > 0:31:00I'm sorry to hear that. I thought the harmonies worked rather well.
0:31:00 > 0:31:03He's not talking about the music. Are you, Reverend?
0:31:03 > 0:31:07When the Mottersheads first arrived, I was under the impression
0:31:07 > 0:31:10that you felt no good could come from a zoo in Upton.
0:31:10 > 0:31:11With respect, I never said that, Reverend.
0:31:11 > 0:31:14You should be careful. In your position. Both of you.
0:31:14 > 0:31:16What does that mean?
0:31:16 > 0:31:17You wouldn't want people losing faith,
0:31:17 > 0:31:20not in two pillars of the community.
0:31:20 > 0:31:22It would be so hard to remain in Upton if they did.
0:31:22 > 0:31:24I say this for your own good.
0:31:24 > 0:31:27Look, I have to deliver this to the council this afternoon,
0:31:27 > 0:31:30with your signatures on it. These are your patients, your pupils.
0:31:30 > 0:31:32It's their safety.
0:31:32 > 0:31:36Stand up for it and stop the planning permission at Oakfield.
0:31:39 > 0:31:42- They've seen better days. - They're George's best pair.
0:31:42 > 0:31:45I'm hoping the cobbler can sort them out.
0:31:45 > 0:31:46You will come, I hope?
0:31:46 > 0:31:50To the benefit. It's to raise funds but there'll be music.
0:31:50 > 0:31:52- Come and have a dance. - Lizzie, I'm not sure I can.
0:31:52 > 0:31:54I know you're supposed to be impartial, but...
0:31:54 > 0:31:56I'd love it if you came.
0:31:56 > 0:32:00Please. I'm terrified of half the guest list.
0:32:00 > 0:32:01How can I possibly refuse?
0:32:28 > 0:32:30Oh, are you all right?
0:32:30 > 0:32:32I'm fine. It's nothing.
0:32:32 > 0:32:35- In fact, you wouldn't believe me if I told you.- Try me.
0:32:35 > 0:32:37I was attacked by a bear.
0:32:37 > 0:32:39- SHE GASPS - Splendid!
0:33:02 > 0:33:03Are you sure you won't join us?
0:33:03 > 0:33:05I'm positive.
0:33:14 > 0:33:16Here, what do you think of this?

0:33:41 > 0:33:43I'd like you to try that.
0:33:45 > 0:33:47Guests will be arriving soon. We need to get this stuff over there.
0:33:47 > 0:33:50These need to be perfect.

0:34:07 > 0:34:09to introduce my family...
0:34:12 > 0:34:14Are they all here?
0:34:14 > 0:34:17Good. Now I want them playing classy stuff all night.
0:34:17 > 0:34:19- Make sure you tell them that. - I can't.
0:34:19 > 0:34:22- Why? - They only speak Prague.
0:34:22 > 0:34:25- You mean Czech? - I mean, it ain't English.
0:34:25 > 0:34:28I'll write them a list. It'll be fine.
0:34:31 > 0:34:32Look at you!
0:34:34 > 0:34:36Blimey! I'm not early, then?
0:34:36 > 0:34:38Perfect timing. Come with me.
0:34:46 > 0:34:47Best to take it slow.
0:34:50 > 0:34:53Get used to moving around with the glasses empty first,
0:34:53 > 0:34:56because I won't be able to help you if there's a blunder in service.
0:34:57 > 0:34:58Service?

0:35:08 > 0:35:09That's good to know.
0:35:21 > 0:35:25Excuse me. I'm late and I'm looking for Billy Atkinson. Is he around?
0:35:26 > 0:35:28- Depends who's asking. - Agnes Franklin.
0:35:28 > 0:35:30Well, he's around here somewhere,
0:35:30 > 0:35:32but I'm warning you, he doesn't do interviews.
0:35:32 > 0:35:34- Excuse me?- For the press.
0:35:34 > 0:35:36He's saving it all for his memoirs.
0:35:36 > 0:35:40Is that right? Well, luckily for him, I'm not from the papers.
0:35:40 > 0:35:43Oh, that's a shame, because if you could have got him to open up,
0:35:43 > 0:35:45he's a hell of an exclusive.
0:35:45 > 0:35:49Raconteur. Bon viveur. His latest move is into women's fashion.
0:35:49 > 0:35:52Will you hurry up with those glasses, Billy?
0:35:57 > 0:36:00- To be continued? - You wish.
0:36:02 > 0:36:04Get a load of you!
0:36:06 > 0:36:08George!
0:36:10 > 0:36:12Here we go!

0:36:26 > 0:36:28Sorry, Katherine, I didn't...
0:36:28 > 0:36:30It's all right. What's wrong?
0:36:30 > 0:36:33These are your people, Katherine, they're not mine.
0:36:35 > 0:36:39We need £300 from tonight. What if no-one bids?
0:36:39 > 0:36:41They're only here because you've intrigued them.
0:36:41 > 0:36:43Now show them what's in your head.
0:36:43 > 0:36:46They've never seen anything like it, I guarantee.
0:36:51 > 0:36:52I wish you were down there,
0:36:52 > 0:36:54Katherine. I think we need all the help we can get.

0:37:11 > 0:37:13Smells fine to me.
0:37:16 > 0:37:19You look exquisite, my dear.
0:37:20 > 0:37:23- Would you like a drink? - Am I the first to arrive?

0:39:01 > 0:39:04Now, let me tell you who all the big beasts are.
0:39:04 > 0:39:07There's Lord and Lady Evans. Oil money.
0:39:07 > 0:39:10Lord Davenport, he makes motorcars.
0:39:10 > 0:39:11And then there's Lady Hughes.
0:39:11 > 0:39:14Real estate. Definitely the biggest fish of all.
0:39:14 > 0:39:19Get her bidding and the rest will fall into line. Happy hunting.
0:39:23 > 0:39:26Right, June, I need you.
0:39:27 > 0:39:31You like that? It's rolled gold.
0:39:31 > 0:39:34Now, you gentlemen are discerning, but most people don't know
0:39:34 > 0:39:36their arse from their elbow when it comes to jewellery.
0:39:36 > 0:39:43Ergo, it makes it an ideal gift for clients or...members of staff.
0:39:44 > 0:39:47Oh, Frankie, let's get a quick photograph, would you?
0:39:49 > 0:39:52Mother never meets baby, that's the strange thing.
0:39:52 > 0:39:55She'll lay her eggs underground and she'll leave them.
0:39:55 > 0:39:58So when they're hatched, they're on their own.
0:39:58 > 0:40:02Now, we are the only family that Queenie's ever had.
0:40:02 > 0:40:06Now, if you follow me over here...
0:40:06 > 0:40:07Now...
0:40:09 > 0:40:12That's empty. That's empty.
0:40:15 > 0:40:18June is going to carry on without me.
0:40:18 > 0:40:20I shall be back, excuse me.
0:40:22 > 0:40:27So, tell me, my dear, what's it like living in a zoo?
0:40:28 > 0:40:31Charitable donations, non-taxable.
0:40:31 > 0:40:34Chester Zoo is certainly a worthy cause.
0:40:34 > 0:40:37It's a pioneering way of dealing with animals in captivity.
0:40:42 > 0:40:43Excuse me one moment.
0:40:52 > 0:40:54How do you lose a ten-foot python?
0:40:54 > 0:40:56- You're going to have to find him, Billy.- Why me?!
0:40:56 > 0:40:57Because we're doing the auction
0:40:57 > 0:41:00and if one of these finds a snake round their neck, we're done for.
0:41:00 > 0:41:01Leave it with us.
0:41:03 > 0:41:06He's big. Big teeth, big claws.
0:41:06 > 0:41:08And there's no way of stopping him, either.
0:41:09 > 0:41:12June, what are you talking about?
0:41:12 > 0:41:14I'm only telling people about Adam.
0:41:14 > 0:41:16Dad had to have stitches, you see.
0:41:16 > 0:41:18GASPING
0:41:18 > 0:41:21Oh, no, a child's imagination. Come on, you.
0:41:24 > 0:41:27June, what are you doing telling people about that?
0:41:27 > 0:41:31Tonight of all nights! Now, listen, you need to buck up.
0:41:31 > 0:41:33Everything is riding on this.
0:41:33 > 0:41:35I'm sorry.
0:41:35 > 0:41:37If you can't talk about the zoo in a good way,
0:41:37 > 0:41:40then I think it's better you don't say anything at all.
0:41:42 > 0:41:45Now, help me find this python, how about that?
0:41:45 > 0:41:47No.
0:42:24 > 0:42:26I just want to let you know, nothing's going to
0:42:26 > 0:42:29- happen between us tonight, OK? - Is that right?
0:42:29 > 0:42:31You know, in that dress, you could almost pass for a lady.
0:42:31 > 0:42:34And you're not bad looking when you keep your mouth shut.
0:42:34 > 0:42:35Excuse me.
0:42:52 > 0:42:55Lady Hughes, may I introduce Lady Katherine Longmore?
0:42:57 > 0:43:01A pleasure. I did wonder if we might see Lord Ainslie?
0:43:01 > 0:43:04Oh, he's abroad, I'm afraid. He travels quite extensively.
0:43:04 > 0:43:06You must miss him awfully.
0:43:06 > 0:43:08I'm his niece. Not his wife.
0:43:08 > 0:43:10Then your husband is...?
0:43:10 > 0:43:13Yet to be revealed to me.
0:43:14 > 0:43:17I see. Well, if you'll excuse me.
0:43:30 > 0:43:33That's fig and Stilton, milady.
0:43:34 > 0:43:36You must give me the name of your caterers.
0:43:36 > 0:43:38Oh, that would be my name, milady.
0:43:38 > 0:43:40You catered your own event?!
0:43:43 > 0:43:45The shell is actually bone.
0:43:45 > 0:43:4960 different bones all connected up together, as a matter of fact.
0:44:17 > 0:44:19You seem to have them in the palm of your hand.
0:44:19 > 0:44:24Oh, I'm so glad you came. You haven't seen the Fords, I suppose?
0:44:24 > 0:44:27I invited them too. I'm so nervous.
0:44:27 > 0:44:28Lizzie.
0:44:29 > 0:44:32- Mrs Mottershead. - Oh, that sounds serious.
0:44:32 > 0:44:35- There's something that I feel... - Dad wants to start the auction
0:44:35 > 0:44:37- but June won't do the slides. - You'll have to do it.
0:44:37 > 0:44:38Go on, I'll be right there.
0:44:41 > 0:44:43Sorry, Reverend, what were you saying?
0:44:43 > 0:44:47This whole event... Look, I know that it is important.
0:44:47 > 0:44:49But it's just... I just...
0:44:49 > 0:44:52- I wonder if it wouldn't be better... - Do you mind, Reverend? I'm sorry.
0:44:52 > 0:44:54- I should really... - No, no, of course.
0:44:54 > 0:44:56I'll be right back.
0:45:05 > 0:45:07They still haven't found the python.
0:45:07 > 0:45:10Well, we can't delay the auction any longer,
0:45:10 > 0:45:11everyone will start going home.
0:45:29 > 0:45:30Good evening.
0:45:30 > 0:45:34Um... Oh, does everybody have their paddles...
0:45:34 > 0:45:37For the, um... Very good. Thank you. Well...
0:45:37 > 0:45:40Thank you for coming here this evening. Thank you to Lady Katherine
0:45:40 > 0:45:45for generously providing Selborne Hall for this event this evening.
0:45:45 > 0:45:47APPLAUSE
0:45:49 > 0:45:51Right, good, on we go. Lights!
0:45:56 > 0:46:00Now, then, our zoo. It's all about the animals, of course.
0:46:00 > 0:46:05Um... It's about protecting them and it's about caring for them.
0:46:05 > 0:46:07Some of these slides are aspirations.
0:46:07 > 0:46:11We don't have a lion or an elephant. Not yet.
0:46:11 > 0:46:13But we will.
0:46:13 > 0:46:18We are working hard to create a zoo without bars.
0:46:19 > 0:46:21Wrong slide, Mew.
0:46:23 > 0:46:25Mew?
0:46:28 > 0:46:29Right, thank you.
0:46:30 > 0:46:33Let me start by bringing on to the stage two of our friends.
0:46:43 > 0:46:44Now, let us start bidding
0:46:44 > 0:46:46on the naming rights to our penguin enclosure.
0:46:46 > 0:46:48Who'll start me off?
0:46:49 > 0:46:52Who'll start me off? £5, anyone?
0:46:52 > 0:46:53£5?
0:47:02 > 0:47:03£20.
0:47:03 > 0:47:05We have our first bid!
0:47:05 > 0:47:07Thank you very much, £20.
0:47:07 > 0:47:08Any advance on 20?
0:47:10 > 0:47:1225? 25, thank you, madam.
0:47:12 > 0:47:1425, 30. Any more?
0:47:14 > 0:47:18- £35.- £35.
0:47:18 > 0:47:21£35 it is, going once, going twice.
0:47:23 > 0:47:26Sold to you, madam. £35. Thank you very much indeed.
0:47:27 > 0:47:31Next, we have Pelly, our pelican.
0:47:35 > 0:47:37Named by my daughter, June.
0:47:37 > 0:47:40She names all the animals, wherever she is.
0:47:41 > 0:47:44Now, who'll start me off to bid to sponsor this wonderful bird?
0:47:44 > 0:47:47£5 am I bid? £5 anyone?
0:47:47 > 0:47:49- £10.- £10, thank you, madam. £10.
0:47:49 > 0:47:52Any more on ten, please? Anywhere?

0:47:54 > 0:47:57- 20.- 20. Thank you, madam, 20 it is.- 25!
0:47:57 > 0:47:59- SHE GASPS - 25, thank you very much.
0:47:59 > 0:48:02Any advance on...? Um...
0:48:02 > 0:48:05Like I said, let us... Um... Shall we continue? Thank you.
0:48:07 > 0:48:10I apologise. Completely my fault.
0:48:10 > 0:48:13Like I say, £5 to sponsor this bird.
0:48:13 > 0:48:15- £5.- Thank you very much, sir. £5 it is.
0:48:15 > 0:48:18- 10.- £10, thank you, madam. £10. Any advance on £10?
0:48:18 > 0:48:22- 15.- £15. So, then, here we are.
0:48:22 > 0:48:24You shouldn't being doing that.
0:48:24 > 0:48:25You'll only cut yourself.
0:48:25 > 0:48:2720! £20.
0:48:27 > 0:48:30Sold for £20, thank you very much indeed!
0:48:34 > 0:48:38Thank you, Katherine, for starting the bidding.
0:48:39 > 0:48:43Skulking away? That's about your style, I suppose.
0:48:43 > 0:48:45Whatever are they saying?
0:48:45 > 0:48:49You've heard of Freddie Rampton? Took his whole family to Kenya.
0:48:49 > 0:48:52Abandoned them out there, two children. A wife.
0:48:52 > 0:48:54All for another woman.
0:48:55 > 0:49:00- It wasn't like that... - His wife is my cousin.
0:49:00 > 0:49:02She told me all about you.
0:49:02 > 0:49:04Your kind are little better than whores.
0:49:04 > 0:49:05That's enough.
0:49:08 > 0:49:11Your entire family is passing itself off as something it's not.
0:49:11 > 0:49:16I mean, do you even have the faintest idea who you're talking to?
0:49:16 > 0:49:20Well, whoever you are, you're leaving.
0:49:20 > 0:49:23£3.10, thank you very much.
0:49:23 > 0:49:26£3.10, then. What about you, sir, at the back?
0:49:29 > 0:49:32£3, 10 shilling. 4? 4?
0:49:32 > 0:49:33£4, 10 shilling, madam.
0:49:33 > 0:49:35Here!
0:49:35 > 0:49:39£4, 10 shilling. Thank you very much madam. Anymore on £4, 10 shilling?
0:49:39 > 0:49:40Five, sir?
0:49:40 > 0:49:43Yes? Five. Thank you very much indeed.
0:49:44 > 0:49:46- Grandad.- What?
0:49:47 > 0:49:51£5, 10 shilling. Thank you very much, madam. £6, sir?
0:49:51 > 0:49:53£6, there we have it. £6.
0:49:55 > 0:49:57We've got to get him out quickly, before anybody sees.
0:49:57 > 0:50:02Continue, can we? 10, thank you, madam. 10, do I hear any more?
0:50:03 > 0:50:08I can't reach him, but we have to get him out for your dad.
0:50:08 > 0:50:10I know you're scared, love, but I'm right here.
0:50:11 > 0:50:14- £15.- 20!- 20! £20.
0:50:21 > 0:50:24Sold. Now...
0:50:26 > 0:50:29..here is our final lot of the evening.
0:50:38 > 0:50:40Now, then...
0:50:41 > 0:50:45Who will offer me £2 to adopt this indomitable creature?
0:50:58 > 0:50:59Archie!
0:51:00 > 0:51:02One last challenge.
0:51:12 > 0:51:13Well?
0:51:15 > 0:51:16It beats goat's milk!
0:51:25 > 0:51:29I've just made a fool of myself. And of this family.
0:51:32 > 0:51:33Er, milady?
0:51:35 > 0:51:38She's the brains behind the whole thing, of course.
0:51:38 > 0:51:39My wife.
0:51:39 > 0:51:42You've never met a better cook in your life, milady.
0:51:43 > 0:51:46Everything you ate tonight, it was all her.
0:51:46 > 0:51:48I know. Delicious.
0:51:49 > 0:51:52And might I also apologise for Lady Hughes?
0:51:52 > 0:51:55Breeding and class - two very different things.
0:52:12 > 0:52:14Reverend? What are you doing here?
0:52:15 > 0:52:17Your wife invited me.
0:52:17 > 0:52:20Of course she did, she's got a big heart...
0:52:20 > 0:52:23and you've got her fooled, like everyone else.
0:52:23 > 0:52:24But not me.
0:52:27 > 0:52:30I really don't know what you're talking about.
0:52:30 > 0:52:31Must be galling for you.
0:52:31 > 0:52:35Seeing these people... ready to give up their money
0:52:35 > 0:52:37for what my family has built.
0:52:39 > 0:52:43Go on, admit it. It's just me and you.
0:52:44 > 0:52:46You cannot bear to see a man like me
0:52:46 > 0:52:48living in a place like Oakfield, can you?
0:52:48 > 0:52:51- My responsibility as parish priest... - I've known men like you
0:52:51 > 0:52:57my whole life - hiding, behind one uniform or another.
0:52:57 > 0:52:59You know I was going to let you have this moment.
0:53:01 > 0:53:04- What are you talking about? - You'll get a letter in the morning.
0:53:04 > 0:53:07Public opposition was just too great, I'm afraid.
0:53:08 > 0:53:10Permission for Chester Zoo has been denied.
0:53:30 > 0:53:31Thanks.
0:53:33 > 0:53:35£320!
0:53:35 > 0:53:37Say again?
0:53:37 > 0:53:43£320 in pledges! George! We've done it!
0:53:43 > 0:53:45Go on, Dad, get everyone home. Get the kettle on.
0:53:45 > 0:53:48- I'll finish up here. - Frankie, do you want a lift?
0:53:48 > 0:53:51No, I could do with a walk home.
0:54:17 > 0:54:20You know, it occurs to me...
0:54:20 > 0:54:22Don't lay another line on me.
0:54:22 > 0:54:24Just open the door, quick, before I change my mind.
0:54:47 > 0:54:50- So how much money did you make? - Everything that we need.
0:54:54 > 0:54:57But we can't use a penny of it because...
0:54:59 > 0:55:00..we didn't get planning permission.
0:55:00 > 0:55:03Oh, George, I'm so sorry.
0:55:05 > 0:55:07This whole village has been against us from the start.
0:55:14 > 0:55:15It was a magnificent night.
0:55:17 > 0:55:18They did you proud.
0:55:20 > 0:55:21Lizzie, Mew, the whole family.
0:55:23 > 0:55:25This doesn't change any of that.
0:55:27 > 0:55:29How am I supposed to tell them?
0:55:57 > 0:55:59She said my vol-au-vents were the best she'd had
0:55:59 > 0:56:01since she'd been at The Dorchester.
0:56:01 > 0:56:03Do your posh voice again, go on!
0:56:03 > 0:56:06You'd better watch it if you don't want to sleep in the stable.
0:56:06 > 0:56:08THEY LAUGH
0:56:10 > 0:56:11Love, what is it?
0:56:17 > 0:56:19They're not letting us build it.
0:56:20 > 0:56:22I've just heard.
0:56:32 > 0:56:34I'm so sorry.
0:56:46 > 0:56:49You have been working alongside elements in Upton,
0:56:49 > 0:56:51a coordinated campaign against my family.
0:56:51 > 0:56:52By the time you've figured out
0:56:52 > 0:56:55how to keep the zoo open, you won't have any animals left.
0:56:57 > 0:57:00I'm trying to hold on to everything.
0:57:02 > 0:57:04I'm here to tell you the truth about our zoo.
0:57:04 > 0:57:05I defended you to George.
0:57:05 > 0:57:09I think we should stay out of each other's way from now on.
0:57:09 > 0:57:12This petition...whose idea was it?
0:57:12 > 0:57:16You're really willing to lie about my family?
0:57:16 > 0:57:19- If that's what it takes. - We need to take a trip to London.
0:57:21 > 0:57:24Dear chaps, Arthur's a deputy minister, an officer of the state,
0:57:24 > 0:57:25he couldn't possibly see you himself.
