0:00:31 > 0:00:33Are we sitting comfortably?
0:00:33 > 0:00:35Then I'll begin.
0:00:36 > 0:00:39- He's dead.- Who?
0:00:39 > 0:00:42The oldest man in Britain, it's me now.
0:00:42 > 0:00:44I'm the last Victorian.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48You're scared, aren't you?
0:00:48 > 0:00:51You're frightened I'll die before you finish filming.
0:00:54 > 0:00:56It's not quite what you mean, is it?
0:00:57 > 0:00:58What you really mean is that
0:00:58 > 0:01:01YOU'RE frightened you might die before we're finished.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05I can tell you about the Battle of Waterloo,
0:01:05 > 0:01:09from what I was told by the daughter of a man who was there.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12I can tell you about the General Strike,
0:01:12 > 0:01:15the day Winston Churchill came
0:01:15 > 0:01:17and the ice cream we made
0:01:17 > 0:01:20and what happened to my teacher...
0:01:38 > 0:01:40DISTANT KNOCK AT DOOR
0:01:43 > 0:01:45Thank you very much.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48Anything for Mr Eyre?
0:02:11 > 0:02:14Oh? At last.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25Willie, Willie, Harry, Steve,
0:02:25 > 0:02:29Harry, Dick, John, Harry three,
0:02:29 > 0:02:30Edward one, two...

0:02:32 > 0:02:33Willie, Willie, Harry, Steve.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38Harry, Dick, John, Harry three,
0:02:38 > 0:02:41Edward one, two, three,
0:02:41 > 0:02:43Dick two, Henry four, five, six...
0:02:43 > 0:02:45then who?
0:02:48 > 0:02:49Pals together.
0:02:49 > 0:02:53A great, great honour.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57CHILDREN: 'Mary, Bessie, James the Vain.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59'Charlie, Charlie, James again.'
0:02:59 > 0:03:01John, Harry three...
0:03:03 > 0:03:05I'll see you later?
0:03:08 > 0:03:10Easy, girl, easy.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31What greater honour...
0:03:33 > 0:03:38What greater honour could there be?
0:03:39 > 0:03:41Aaahhh!
0:03:48 > 0:03:50Ahhh, dead!
0:03:50 > 0:03:54CHILDREN: 'William and Victoria, Edward seven next,
0:03:54 > 0:03:58'and then came George V in 1910.'
0:04:22 > 0:04:24What's Rutter going to do with our land?
0:04:26 > 0:04:30It's a field, not land.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33It's our land.
0:04:55 > 0:04:56Bert!
0:04:58 > 0:05:00Bert!
0:05:01 > 0:05:03Bert?
0:05:26 > 0:05:27Boy!
0:05:38 > 0:05:39Son!
0:05:43 > 0:05:46I didn't want to sell the field.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50Not to Rutter, not to anyone.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52But we have to give ourselves a chance.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56And a new start has to be paid for.
0:06:03 > 0:06:07Come on, show me.
0:06:14 > 0:06:15All right.
0:06:18 > 0:06:19Left or right?
0:06:22 > 0:06:24You going to lead with your left or your right?
0:06:27 > 0:06:29You have to make your mind up.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32Make your mind up.
0:06:44 > 0:06:45Is it Joe?
0:06:48 > 0:06:49Private Joe Middleton.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52Two names and a rank. For a horse?
0:06:52 > 0:06:53Molly?!
0:07:01 > 0:07:04She pulls t'cart that takes milk to t'station for Sheffield train.
0:07:06 > 0:07:07How many cows on the farm?
0:07:08 > 0:07:11- Six. - Not much milk.
0:07:11 > 0:07:12Enough.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15We wouldn't survive without her.
0:07:15 > 0:07:19Well, we're here for a few more days. Some other horses to look at.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21We'll have a think about Molly. You should too.
0:07:23 > 0:07:24What do you mean?
0:07:24 > 0:07:27A horse like that, what is she? 16 hands?
0:07:27 > 0:07:30Artillery are dying for big beasts like that.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32Ask yourself,
0:07:32 > 0:07:35do you really need her more than your country needs her?
0:07:35 > 0:07:38It's a question of conscience really.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46£75.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48Compensation.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07Wait till we're married.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13- Morning.- Morning.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15Ah, here she comes. Hello, trouble.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18Here we go.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21BABY CRIES
0:08:21 > 0:08:23Come on, love.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27I had a letter from our Paul yesterday.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29Good. That's...
0:08:29 > 0:08:31What, what did he say?
0:08:31 > 0:08:34"Hope this finds you in the pink as it leaves me."
0:08:35 > 0:08:37Anything else?
0:08:37 > 0:08:38No.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42They don't sound themselves when they write, do they?
0:08:42 > 0:08:45Now then, don't be late for work.
0:08:45 > 0:08:46Come on, girls, inside.
0:08:55 > 0:08:56Safe?
0:08:57 > 0:09:00Oh. You.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03- Take your time. - There's more than one column now
0:09:03 > 0:09:06so I've to look at the top of the second column as well as...
0:09:06 > 0:09:09Sometimes the...the Ms are in the first column
0:09:09 > 0:09:12and sometimes in the second column and sometimes they're in both.
0:09:14 > 0:09:15Why are you back here?
0:09:15 > 0:09:17I'm working for the council.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19Not a detective anymore?
0:09:20 > 0:09:21No.
0:09:23 > 0:09:24So what's your...
0:09:24 > 0:09:28Taking an interest in local life and local history.
0:09:46 > 0:09:47Middleton.
0:09:52 > 0:09:53I can't have it.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56If you're late, the process is missing a part... You.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59Who's going to ink the boots if you don't?
0:10:00 > 0:10:04I can't have lateness and I'm not going to have it.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06- Leave immediately.- Leave?
0:10:07 > 0:10:09- You can't do that!- It's done.
0:10:11 > 0:10:15Do you know how much women like Grace sacrifice for you?
0:10:15 > 0:10:17She goes 12 hours without feeding her baby.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19No baby died because...
0:10:19 > 0:10:21The mother, not the baby.
0:10:21 > 0:10:25Where do you think the milk goes, if you don't feed?
0:10:25 > 0:10:26The breast becomes engorged.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30Can you imagine how painful that is?
0:10:30 > 0:10:32And how do you think a woman feels?
0:10:32 > 0:10:36All of that and now because she's late once...
0:10:36 > 0:10:38- Who do you think you are? - Could I have a word?
0:10:42 > 0:10:43I have to let her go.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47- Mister Hankin... - I don't have the money.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50You need Grace Middleton inking the boots tomorrow.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53The inspection?
0:10:56 > 0:10:57Now hold your nerve, Hankin.
0:11:02 > 0:11:04She can go back to work.
0:11:09 > 0:11:16So, when you think of men from this village doing their duty...
0:11:18 > 0:11:22..fighting evil, protecting you,
0:11:22 > 0:11:28isn't it good to know that we shall be together,
0:11:28 > 0:11:34side by side in a Pals Battalion named for this village?
0:11:37 > 0:11:41Conscription is not the right word for it!
0:11:43 > 0:11:47Because it doesn't do justice to what we are being asked to do.
0:11:48 > 0:11:53It is a great honour, that's what it is.
0:11:53 > 0:11:54A great honour!
0:12:01 > 0:12:03Isn't it, Mister Eyre?
0:12:04 > 0:12:05Is it?
0:12:11 > 0:12:15And, er, what would you call it?
0:12:17 > 0:12:18Have you grown taller, sir?
0:12:26 > 0:12:27SHOUTS: What did you say?!
0:12:27 > 0:12:31The minimum height requirement for the army has come down, Bert.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36Oh, perfect, they will fit. Eva, there you go, Eva.
0:12:37 > 0:12:41Tommy, ready-made. Get them on your feet.
0:12:41 > 0:12:45Ah Francis, look at those. They were made for you.
0:12:48 > 0:12:49Mr Eyre, grab hold of those.
0:12:52 > 0:12:53What's that for, sir?
0:12:54 > 0:12:56This tells people that I'm ready...
0:12:59 > 0:13:00..that I'm not a shirker.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04You sound like Lord Kitchener.
0:13:04 > 0:13:05Good.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11Did you get a letter, sir?
0:13:11 > 0:13:13Yes, I did.
0:13:13 > 0:13:14Get it off.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17Now, remember, everyone.
0:13:17 > 0:13:23There's breakfast, dinner and tea.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26Breakfast, dinner, tea, it's easy.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28How old do you have to be?
0:14:27 > 0:14:29You'd think a teacher would know the right date.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37This is Mr Bairstow,
0:14:37 > 0:14:39and he wants to find out all about us.
0:14:40 > 0:14:48So, I want you to answer his questions accurately and honestly.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07What did you have for breakfast this morning?
0:15:07 > 0:15:09This morning?
0:15:09 > 0:15:11- Yes.- Porridge.
0:15:17 > 0:15:18You?
0:15:18 > 0:15:20Porridge.
0:15:20 > 0:15:21Anything else?
0:15:21 > 0:15:24- Eggs.- Really?
0:15:24 > 0:15:26Bread, jam, meat!
0:15:29 > 0:15:30Suet pudding.
0:15:35 > 0:15:36Anything else?
0:15:42 > 0:15:44JOYFUL SHOUTING
0:15:55 > 0:15:57Bert. Bert!
0:16:00 > 0:16:02Oh, Bert's coming over.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04It was you that told them about big Molly, wasn't it?
0:16:04 > 0:16:07- She has to do her duty. - The farm needs her. She can't go.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09While you've still got a farm.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17Leave him alone. You!
0:16:17 > 0:16:19Leave him alone.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25Joe?
0:16:30 > 0:16:32Shouldn't there be people?
0:16:32 > 0:16:36What's the point in having a picture with nobody in it?
0:16:36 > 0:16:39Well, you can capture a moment with a photograph.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44A particular place at a particular time and then, you have it,
0:16:44 > 0:16:47to look at, forever.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50But you could come to the Dew Pond at any time.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52Why do you have to catch it?
0:16:55 > 0:17:00We all like to give things shape and form.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06It's because we're all afraid of dying, Bert.
0:17:08 > 0:17:09Are you all right, sir?
0:17:13 > 0:17:14Sorry.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20We saw a witch here, me and Joe.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22She tried to pull me under.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25- I would've drowned if I hadn't swam.- Swum.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30Swum?
0:17:31 > 0:17:32Swam?
0:17:40 > 0:17:42There's something that I need to tell you.
0:17:42 > 0:17:46And I haven't told you already
0:17:46 > 0:17:49because I know you're going to be disappointed in me...
0:17:52 > 0:17:54..which makes me a coward, really.
0:17:54 > 0:17:55You're not a coward.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01You would protect us, wouldn't you, if the Germans came?
0:18:02 > 0:18:04Of course.
0:18:12 > 0:18:16How does Hankin get the casualty list before The Times, Edmund?
0:18:17 > 0:18:21Wrong question. WHY does he get it first?
0:18:21 > 0:18:25And you're going to give me the answer?
0:18:25 > 0:18:27And what do people do?
0:18:27 > 0:18:30Hmm? They go to Hankins to look at the lists and when they see that
0:18:30 > 0:18:34their son or father isn't dead, they buy their daily bread at Hankins.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38Hmm, so the war is a business opportunity, is it?
0:18:38 > 0:18:41According to my mathematics, based on the present rate of advance,
0:18:41 > 0:18:45we should be on the Rhine, what, 180 years from now.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48We can't all stop breathing for a couple of centuries, George.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50Life doesn't just stand to attention
0:18:50 > 0:18:53while the war walks past in its own time.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55180 years is a lot of boots.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01Throw a punch.
0:19:03 > 0:19:04And again.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07Keep it straight.
0:19:07 > 0:19:08And again.
0:19:12 > 0:19:14You're left-handed?
0:19:15 > 0:19:17Boxing don't lie.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23So, you lead with your right.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26Throw a punch.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29Keep it straight. Throw a punch.
0:19:29 > 0:19:30OK.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32And again.
0:19:32 > 0:19:33That's it! Harder!
0:19:34 > 0:19:36That's it!
0:19:36 > 0:19:40BABY CRIES AND GRIZZLES
0:20:00 > 0:20:03BABY WAILS WITH GUSTO
0:20:17 > 0:20:20CRYING PAUSES
0:20:20 > 0:20:22CRYING RESUMES
0:20:32 > 0:20:35It's called Stockholm Tar.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37Look, she has some cuts and grazes on her.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42And the tar applied to...
0:20:42 > 0:20:44Stops the flies.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46They can cause mastitis, you see,
0:20:46 > 0:20:50which would be very dangerous for her.
0:20:50 > 0:20:54You have to be careful it doesn't get anywhere else.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57Just the tips.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01Oh, hello, Lottie and Daisy
0:21:01 > 0:21:05and... Ah, what's the little one called, George?
0:21:05 > 0:21:06I can never remember.
0:21:09 > 0:21:10Martha.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14Miss Lane.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22Caro, I think...
0:21:27 > 0:21:30The Minister's daughter not good enough for you, Mother?
0:21:30 > 0:21:32That is what you're talking about?
0:21:34 > 0:21:36If you will burst into rooms...
0:21:36 > 0:21:37What were you saying?
0:21:37 > 0:21:40- She's young. - Only two years younger than I am.
0:21:40 > 0:21:44Do stop treading on everything I say!
0:21:44 > 0:21:48Give a little space, George, so we can all breathe.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50Hmm?
0:21:50 > 0:21:51Mm-hm.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55She's young. There's nothing so frightening than
0:21:55 > 0:21:57the righteousness of people under 30.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59You're patronising me!
0:21:59 > 0:22:02Well, I'm your mother. I'll do whatever I like with you.
0:22:02 > 0:22:06Well, I can't tell you how glad I am that conscription's finally here.
0:22:06 > 0:22:10And what will fighting give you, George? Better poems?!
0:22:19 > 0:22:23George is sick with love for the Minister's daughter
0:22:23 > 0:22:27because he mistakes her righteousness for conviction.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30He thinks that getting killed will impress her,
0:22:30 > 0:22:32forgetting, of course, that the thing about getting killed
0:22:32 > 0:22:34is that you're dead.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39Sort out an exemption for him.
0:22:44 > 0:22:48Lovesickness isn't generally enough.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51- And if he wants to go... - Well, find a way.
0:22:51 > 0:22:52Shoot him in the foot.
0:22:54 > 0:22:55Something.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57It's called Stockholm Tar.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59Expensive?
0:22:59 > 0:23:00I could get you some.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06She was my first.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08You should give her a name.
0:23:12 > 0:23:13She's a cow.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23The inspection's an hour away.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26I think they might walk out if you don't agree to this.
0:23:27 > 0:23:31These women need to go home and feed their babies.
0:23:31 > 0:23:32Right now.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39Ten minutes.
0:23:39 > 0:23:40- Ten minutes?- That's what I said.
0:23:40 > 0:23:42And if they're not back, this inspection fails,
0:23:42 > 0:23:44I'm out of business and none of you will have any work.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47Go and tell your engorged ladies that.
0:23:47 > 0:23:48Come on, I'll race you.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58Joe!
0:23:58 > 0:24:00My Joe.
0:24:00 > 0:24:01Oh!
0:24:01 > 0:24:03SHE SOBS JOYFULLY
0:24:23 > 0:24:26I was worried because Margaret had a letter from Paul
0:24:26 > 0:24:28and I had nothing from you, silly.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30You don't know?
0:24:32 > 0:24:34What?
0:24:34 > 0:24:36SPEECH DROWNED OUT BY MACHINERY
0:25:19 > 0:25:21The inspection failed.

0:34:09 > 0:34:15this conscience you claim to have is not a Christian conscience?
0:34:17 > 0:34:21The Bible is full of God telling his tribe

0:34:24 > 0:34:28And he's particular about ordering the murder of women and children.
0:34:28 > 0:34:29Infants, I think he says.
0:34:32 > 0:34:35And he's even more particular, on one occasion,
0:34:35 > 0:34:40about sparing virgins so that they may be brought back as prizes.
0:34:42 > 0:34:45He's not a peaceable God and it would be hypocrisy for me

0:35:02 > 0:35:06Why did you write the wrong date up on the blackboard the other day?

0:35:42 > 0:35:44What if German soldiers walked into your classroom

0:35:57 > 0:35:58This is all hypothetical.
0:35:58 > 0:36:01Not in Belgium, it wasn't. Do you doubt they'd do it here?

0:36:07 > 0:36:08Eyre?
0:36:08 > 0:36:10I would put myself between them and the children.

0:36:42 > 0:36:44Why don't you tell them?
0:36:44 > 0:36:48He said if the Germans came he'd save me.
0:36:48 > 0:36:49Of course he would.
