0:03:38 > 0:03:40SEAGULLS CALL

0:03:53 > 0:03:56You there. Which way to Pepperinge Eye?

0:03:56 > 0:04:00Couldn't say. It said on the wireless to paint out signposts

0:04:00 > 0:04:03in case the Nazis drop in.

0:04:03 > 0:04:08But I'm a British Officer.

0:04:05 > 0:04:08That's what you'd say if you was a Nazi, sir.

0:04:08 > 0:04:11Drive on, Corporal.

0:04:20 > 0:04:23DOG BARKS

0:04:31 > 0:04:36Sorry to give you so many but you have six bedrooms.

0:04:34 > 0:04:36No trouble. Anything to get

0:04:36 > 0:04:42the poor things away from the awful bombings in London. Come along, now.

0:04:42 > 0:04:44What about us?

0:04:44 > 0:04:47Oh, yes. What is your name, please?

0:04:47 > 0:04:49Rawlins, ma'am.

0:04:49 > 0:04:53Rawlins? Oh, yes, here we are. Carrie,

0:04:53 > 0:04:54Charles,

0:04:54 > 0:04:59Paul. Oh, you're for Miss Price. I'm expectin' her in.

0:04:59 > 0:05:04< # Call out the Navy... #

0:05:00 > 0:05:04I won't be a moment. Don't touch anything.

0:05:04 > 0:05:06# Call out the tanks

0:05:06 > 0:05:10# From the cliffs of Dover call up the gulls

0:05:10 > 0:05:15# And don't forget the loyal Territorials

0:05:15 > 0:05:19# But who's digging in here, who will defend

0:05:19 > 0:05:23# Every inch of England no matter what they send?

0:05:23 > 0:05:27# Who's standing firm in our own front yard?

0:05:27 > 0:05:31# The soldiers of the old Home Guard, that's who

0:05:31 > 0:05:34# The soldiers of the old Home Guard

0:05:35 > 0:05:39# For we wrote the story of the old brigade

0:05:39 > 0:05:44# We know the glory of yesterday's parades

0:05:44 > 0:05:48# Who's standing firm in our own front yard?

0:05:48 > 0:05:52# The soldiers of the old Home Guard, that's who

0:05:52 > 0:05:56# The soldiers of the old Home Guard! #

0:05:57 > 0:06:00- Halt! - Carry on, Sergeant!

0:06:00 > 0:06:03Captain Greer, from headquarters at Tidbury.

0:06:03 > 0:06:06Here to check military preparations in the area.

0:06:06 > 0:06:09We have matters well in hand.

0:06:09 > 0:06:12But, nevertheless... What on earth is that?

0:06:12 > 0:06:14ENGINE BACKFIRES

0:06:19 > 0:06:21Good morning, General.

0:06:21 > 0:06:25I received your message. I assume my parcel has arrived.

0:06:25 > 0:06:28- It's in the office. - Ah, lovely.

0:06:30 > 0:06:32Who is that?

0:06:32 > 0:06:35Miss Price. Her late father served with me at Vimy Ridge.

0:06:35 > 0:06:38It smells like sulphur burning.

0:06:38 > 0:06:41Ridiculous. One can't make motor fuel out of sulphur.

0:06:41 > 0:06:47Here we are. Another object from Prof Emelius Browne in London.

0:06:47 > 0:06:49Is it what you expected?

0:06:49 > 0:06:50I imagine so.

0:06:50 > 0:06:53He sent you a cat last time, did he not?

0:06:53 > 0:06:55Yes.

0:06:55 > 0:06:57Professor Browne is well?

0:06:57 > 0:06:59I have no idea.

0:06:59 > 0:07:02Are we to have the pleasure of meeting him?

0:07:02 > 0:07:06I doubt it. I don't know him personally. Is there anything else?

0:07:06 > 0:07:08There is. Come this way.

0:07:08 > 0:07:12- I'm anxious to get home. - Come along, please.

0:07:13 > 0:07:15CHILDREN SHOUTING

0:07:17 > 0:07:20Stop it this instant!

0:07:20 > 0:07:22This is Miss Price.

0:07:22 > 0:07:27Carrie, Charles and Paul Rawlins, all the way from London.

0:07:25 > 0:07:27How do you do?

0:07:27 > 0:07:29How are you, miss?

0:07:29 > 0:07:35The Government's evacuating as many children as possible to the country.

0:07:35 > 0:07:40Today they sent 45. I've had to find homes for them at short notice.

0:07:40 > 0:07:44These are the last three. OK, pick up your things.

0:07:47 > 0:07:51You're not suggesting I take them into my house?

0:07:51 > 0:07:52Exactly.

0:07:52 > 0:07:57Oh, it's quite out of the question. Children and I don't get on.

0:07:57 > 0:08:00- I believe you. Come on, back to London.- Hooray!

0:08:00 > 0:08:02Be quiet!

0:08:02 > 0:08:05And I have important work to do.

0:08:05 > 0:08:07You do have that house to yourself.

0:08:07 > 0:08:11This order from the Ministry of Civil Defence

0:08:11 > 0:08:17says you have no choice.

0:08:12 > 0:08:17I see. If that is the case, I'll take them - on the understanding

0:08:17 > 0:08:20you find them a more suitable home as soon as possible.

0:08:20 > 0:08:22Fine. Come along.

0:08:25 > 0:08:29Ah, good morning, Miss Price. There they are.

0:08:29 > 0:08:32What a charitable thing you are doing,

0:08:32 > 0:08:34taking in these poor unfortunates.

0:08:34 > 0:08:36Hold this carefully.

0:08:36 > 0:08:40- May I drop by later this afternoon? - Why?

0:08:40 > 0:08:43We have their spiritual needs to consider.

0:08:43 > 0:08:46It's not necessary. They won't be with me for long.

0:08:46 > 0:08:48ENGINE BACKFIRES

0:09:06 > 0:09:10My parcel, please. Bring your things inside.

0:09:13 > 0:09:15A bit murky, ain't it?

0:09:15 > 0:09:19Yeah. Not another house around here for miles.

0:09:21 > 0:09:23Wipe your feet.

0:09:23 > 0:09:27Big place, this. Who else lives here?

0:09:27 > 0:09:30I live alone. It suits my purpose.

0:09:32 > 0:09:34All right, come along, everybody.

0:09:40 > 0:09:42CAT HISSES

0:09:42 > 0:09:44THEY GASP

0:09:44 > 0:09:45CAT YOWLS

0:09:45 > 0:09:48Sorry, miss. The cat startled us.

0:09:48 > 0:09:51No need for alarm. You just frightened him.

0:09:51 > 0:09:56Yes, he's scared to death(!) You can see that(!)

0:09:56 > 0:10:00- What do you call him? - Animals shouldn't have silly names.

0:10:00 > 0:10:03Cosmic Creepus is the name he came with.

0:10:03 > 0:10:07You will sleep in here. This was my father's bedroom.

0:10:07 > 0:10:10I want you to be very careful of everything in it.

0:10:10 > 0:10:12You boys take the bed.

0:10:12 > 0:10:15- What was your name again? - It's Carrie, miss.

0:10:15 > 0:10:18You sleep on the sofa. Is that all you brought?

0:10:18 > 0:10:23We ain't exactly burdened down with frillies. Travel light, that's us.

0:10:23 > 0:10:26I don't think this arrangement will work,

0:10:26 > 0:10:29but it seems I have no alternative.

0:10:29 > 0:10:32- We'll do our best. - Thank you.

0:10:32 > 0:10:36The bathroom is along the landing. Supper is at 6. You'll wash...

0:10:36 > 0:10:37Wash?!

0:10:37 > 0:10:42You will wash yourselves, otherwise there'll be no supper. Am I clear?

0:10:42 > 0:10:46A house of horror, that's what we've come to.

0:10:48 > 0:10:50INAUDIBLE WHISPERS

0:10:53 > 0:10:56Don't whisper. I am exceptionally keen of hearing.

0:10:56 > 0:11:01You plan to run back to London. If you have more plotting to do,

0:11:01 > 0:11:04do it elsewhere where I shan't have to listen to it.

0:11:04 > 0:11:07I don't know what children eat.

0:11:07 > 0:11:11You'll have to make do as I do. Is there anything you fancy?

0:11:11 > 0:11:15Sausage and mash. Bubble and squeak. Toad-in-the-hole.

0:11:15 > 0:11:17Fried fish. Oh, anything at all.

0:11:17 > 0:11:20You won't find any fried foods in this house.

0:11:20 > 0:11:22No fried food?

0:11:22 > 0:11:24How d'you keep your health?

0:11:24 > 0:11:28Cabbage buds, rosehips, glyssop seed, elm bark,

0:11:28 > 0:11:31whortle yeast and stewed nettles.

0:12:11 > 0:12:13Miaow!

0:12:24 > 0:12:28"With this shipment, the Emelius Browne Correspondence College

0:12:28 > 0:12:33"of Witchcraft congratulates you on qualifying for the first degree of

0:12:33 > 0:12:38"your chosen calling. You may call yourself 'apprentice witch'.

0:12:38 > 0:12:40"Yours faithfully, Emelius Browne."

0:12:48 > 0:12:50My first broom!

0:12:54 > 0:12:56Time to go. Everybody up.

0:12:58 > 0:13:01Wake up. We're going back to London.

0:13:01 > 0:13:05Now, let's see how we fly this thing. Here we are.

0:13:07 > 0:13:10"Clasp the broom with both hands."

0:13:10 > 0:13:13Yes, of course.

0:13:18 > 0:13:23"Never astride the broom." Of course. "A witch is always a lady,

0:13:23 > 0:13:26"except when circumstances dictate otherwise.

0:13:26 > 0:13:30"Take an easy, graceful sideways position."

0:13:30 > 0:13:35Of course, that's much better. An easy, graceful sideways position.

0:13:35 > 0:13:37There we are. How's that?

0:13:37 > 0:13:39"Now,

0:13:39 > 0:13:42"to start up the broom, your basic formula,

0:13:42 > 0:13:45"lakipo, nikrif, scrumpet, leetch."

0:13:47 > 0:13:49I wasn't ready!

0:13:54 > 0:13:57Lakipo, nikrif, scrumpet, leetch.

0:14:08 > 0:14:09Miaow!

0:14:09 > 0:14:11Now watch this.

0:14:14 > 0:14:16Here we go.

0:14:16 > 0:14:19Lakipo, nikrif, scrumpet, leetch!

0:14:27 > 0:14:29Miaow!

0:14:31 > 0:14:32Ohh!

0:14:36 > 0:14:39It's going to be a little different this time.

0:14:44 > 0:14:46- Miaow!- All right,

0:14:46 > 0:14:51I know it's not ladylike. Lakipo, nikrif, scrumpet, leetch!

0:14:59 > 0:15:01CAT GROWLS

0:15:09 > 0:15:11Miaow!

0:15:38 > 0:15:41- Cor!- What's the matter?

0:15:43 > 0:15:49'Ow does she do that?

0:15:45 > 0:15:49Cos she's a witch. That's the sort of thing witches do.

0:15:58 > 0:16:00Ohh!

0:16:02 > 0:16:03Ahh!

0:16:06 > 0:16:09She don't fly good, do she?

0:16:09 > 0:16:10Aaah! Aaah!

0:16:13 > 0:16:14Aaaaaah!

0:16:14 > 0:16:18- She's crashed! - Come on! Now's our chance to hop it.

0:16:18 > 0:16:21- Suppose she's hurt? - Go on. You can't hurt a witch.

0:16:21 > 0:16:23Look out!

0:16:30 > 0:16:33She's cross now. Let's get away from here.

0:16:33 > 0:16:36Hang on. I'm having a bit of a think.

0:16:36 > 0:16:41A witch she is, says you. Then let's use the old loaf, says I.

0:16:41 > 0:16:45- Let's get back to London. - We have an opportunity here.

0:16:45 > 0:16:47She don't want anyone to know she's a witch.

0:16:47 > 0:16:49Not ruddy likely!

0:16:49 > 0:16:54That's the opportunity. And I intend to make the most of it. Come on.

0:16:54 > 0:16:58Bran porridge.

0:16:56 > 0:16:58Thank you, miss.

0:16:58 > 0:17:00Very healthful, I'm sure.

0:17:01 > 0:17:04- Hurt your foot, Miss Price? - Just twisted my ankle.

0:17:04 > 0:17:08- Sorry to hear that. - Thank you. It's nothing serious.

0:17:08 > 0:17:11Lovely weather for flying last night.

0:17:15 > 0:17:17Why did you say that, Charles?

0:17:17 > 0:17:21The game's up, Miss Price. We know what you are.

0:17:22 > 0:17:24I see.

0:17:26 > 0:17:30Don't worry, Miss Price. No-one's gonna peach on ya.

0:17:30 > 0:17:33Thank you. I should be most grateful

0:17:33 > 0:17:36if you didn't tell anyone in the village.

0:17:36 > 0:17:40There'll have to be one or two changes made around here.

0:17:40 > 0:17:44I'd like to see an occasional sausage on the table. Jam...

0:17:44 > 0:17:45Charlie!

0:17:45 > 0:17:47Let me handle this.

0:17:47 > 0:17:52There'll be no more of this wash, wash, wash, mornin' and night.

0:17:52 > 0:17:54Anything else?

0:17:54 > 0:17:58Now you mention it, I could do with a bit of lolly.

0:17:58 > 0:17:59Lolly?

0:17:59 > 0:18:01CAT GROWLS

0:18:01 > 0:18:04Cash. Cold hard cash. You must have buckets of it.

0:18:04 > 0:18:09For your information, the most accomplished of witches

0:18:09 > 0:18:12can't make money out of thin air. Have you ever heard of a rich witch?

0:18:12 > 0:18:16Be that as it may, you don't want us to blab.

0:18:16 > 0:18:22Have you considered what danger you might be in? I am a witch, you know?

0:18:22 > 0:18:23CAT HISSES

0:18:23 > 0:18:26What will you do? Turn me into a toad?

0:18:26 > 0:18:28Lovely. A toad with pink eyes.

0:18:28 > 0:18:31I might just do that.

0:18:31 > 0:18:32Go on, then. I dare ya!

0:18:32 > 0:18:34Very well, Charles.

0:18:37 > 0:18:43You shouldn't have said that.

0:18:39 > 0:18:43She don't frighten me. She can't even ride a broom.

0:18:43 > 0:18:45Excuse me, Charles.

0:18:45 > 0:18:47"Filigree, apogee,

0:18:47 > 0:18:50"pedigree, perigee."

0:18:52 > 0:18:55Oh, Charlie!

0:18:55 > 0:18:58That's better than a toad. That's a rabbit.

0:18:58 > 0:19:01Bother. I never seem to be able to manage toads.

0:19:01 > 0:19:02CAT YOWLS

0:19:05 > 0:19:07Stop! Leave him alone!

0:19:09 > 0:19:11Don't let him get hurt.

0:19:11 > 0:19:15My spells don't last long. I'm just an apprentice.

0:19:18 > 0:19:20CAT YOWLS

0:19:26 > 0:19:28Look out, Charlie!

0:19:36 > 0:19:38You flamin' brute!

0:19:38 > 0:19:39Miaow!

0:19:39 > 0:19:42I'll teach you to do that to me!

0:19:42 > 0:19:46Let Cosmic Creepus alone! It weren't his fault.

0:19:46 > 0:19:50It's my fault. Bad enough not being able to manage a broom,

0:19:50 > 0:19:54I can't perform a simple basic spell.

0:19:54 > 0:19:58You dared her to do it. Why can't we all be friends?

0:19:58 > 0:20:00Maybe she's not a wicked witch.

0:20:00 > 0:20:02Of course I'm not.

0:20:02 > 0:20:03See?

0:20:03 > 0:20:09If only I could trust you. My work is so important to the war effort.

0:20:09 > 0:20:11How do you mean?

0:20:11 > 0:20:15I mean exceptionally important. Most secret.

0:20:15 > 0:20:17What do you say? We can keep a secret.

0:20:17 > 0:20:21Yeah. If someone made it worth our while.

0:20:21 > 0:20:23I don't follow.

0:20:23 > 0:20:27Simple. You give us something valuable to seal the pact.

0:20:27 > 0:20:29Don't try to be clever again.

0:20:29 > 0:20:32It's for our own protection.

0:20:32 > 0:20:35If we broke the pact, we'd have to give back

0:20:35 > 0:20:41the valuable object.

0:20:36 > 0:20:41I think it's an excellent idea! I wonder what I could give you?

0:20:41 > 0:20:43Would you settle for one of my spells?

0:20:43 > 0:20:46Bet that's not worth much.

0:20:46 > 0:20:48Come with me.

0:20:52 > 0:20:54I liked you better as a rabbit.

0:20:54 > 0:20:58- Shut up, you! - Well, I never had a rabbit.

0:21:00 > 0:21:03Careful what you touch in here.

0:21:04 > 0:21:07Rum sort of place, ain't it?

0:21:07 > 0:21:12When I signed for my witchcraft course there was a free bonus,

0:21:12 > 0:21:15a marvellous travelling spell, if you paid in advance.

0:21:15 > 0:21:18- I'll give you that one. - Is it valuable?

0:21:18 > 0:21:21Certainly.

0:21:21 > 0:21:25Poisoned dragon's liver?!

0:21:25 > 0:21:27Poisoned dragon liver.

0:21:27 > 0:21:30You poisoned the dragon or just the liver?

0:21:30 > 0:21:36It comes prepared. It's part of the school equipment. Ah, here we are.

0:21:36 > 0:21:41The travelling spell. All right, everybody, gather around.

0:21:41 > 0:21:43All right, now, let's see.

0:21:43 > 0:21:47Does anyone have a bracelet or a ring, something you can twist?

0:21:47 > 0:21:49No, Miss Price.

0:21:49 > 0:21:52- What about you, Paul? - I carry a few things around.

0:21:52 > 0:21:55You never know when they may come in useful.

0:21:55 > 0:22:00Piece of blue glass, lovely bit of string. Horseshoe nail.

0:22:02 > 0:22:04What's that?

0:22:04 > 0:22:07Knob. Come from the bed upstairs.

0:22:07 > 0:22:10- It twists, don't it? - Yeah. Twisted right off.

0:22:10 > 0:22:13Yes, I think that will be all right.

0:22:13 > 0:22:16Carrie, turn the light down a bit, will you?

0:22:27 > 0:22:30"Hellebore, henbane, aconite...

0:22:33 > 0:22:37"..glow-worm fire, firefly light!"

0:22:40 > 0:22:42There, isn't that pretty?

0:22:42 > 0:22:44Is that all we get?

0:22:44 > 0:22:48This knob will now work the famous travelling spell.

0:22:48 > 0:22:50What's the famous travelling spell?

0:22:50 > 0:22:52How does it work?

0:22:52 > 0:22:55You take this knob and put it back on the bed.

0:22:55 > 0:22:58Turn it a quarter turn to the left.

0:22:58 > 0:23:02In a clear voice, tell it where you want to go. And it will take you.

0:23:02 > 0:23:04Go on!

0:23:04 > 0:23:07- Will it really? - I see no reason to think otherwise.

0:23:07 > 0:23:10Oh, thank you for the lovely gift.

0:23:10 > 0:23:15Sorry, it belongs to Paul. He's the only one who can work the spell.

0:23:15 > 0:23:16Me?

0:23:16 > 0:23:17Yes.

0:23:17 > 0:23:20That's right. My knob, weren't it?

0:23:20 > 0:23:25- That's the way the spell works. - Nice mess he'll make of things.

0:23:26 > 0:23:30Oh, bother. You children run upstairs.

0:23:30 > 0:23:34Don't try anything with the bedknob till I get back.

0:23:34 > 0:23:39'Dear Madam, it grieves me to inform you that due to the war

0:23:39 > 0:23:42'we've been forced to close down our College of Witchcraft.

0:23:42 > 0:23:46'So we shan't be sending you the final lesson

0:23:46 > 0:23:49'in which you expressed so much interest.'

0:23:49 > 0:23:51What's keeping you?

0:23:51 > 0:23:53I've had some very bad news.

0:23:53 > 0:23:57- Can we do anything? - No. No, thank you.

0:23:57 > 0:24:02- Yes. Yes, there is something that Paul can do.- Me?

0:24:02 > 0:24:06I need the bedknob back. I must get to London immediately.

0:24:06 > 0:24:09No. I want to go to the jungle.

0:24:09 > 0:24:11Come with me, Paul.

0:24:15 > 0:24:17Now, ridiculous as it may seem

0:24:17 > 0:24:21to have to explain this to a six- year-old, but I do need your help.

0:24:21 > 0:24:23Go ahead.

0:24:23 > 0:24:27I was expecting an important spell in the mail from my teacher,

0:24:27 > 0:24:29Prof Emelius Browne, and it hasn't come.

0:24:29 > 0:24:32What's that got to do with my knob?

0:24:32 > 0:24:35I must go to London now and see him.

0:24:35 > 0:24:40With his help, we may be able to bring this war to a successful end.

0:24:40 > 0:24:44That is why I need the knob. What is your decision?

0:24:50 > 0:24:52Thank you, Paul.

0:24:54 > 0:24:58I brought this for your hair, Carrie. It may be windy.

0:24:58 > 0:25:02- Thank you. It's ever so nice. - Paul, have you been to the bathroom?

0:25:02 > 0:25:03Twice.

0:25:03 > 0:25:08Charles, put on something warmer. The bed may travel quite fast.

0:25:08 > 0:25:11I'm not going. I'm staying here.

0:25:11 > 0:25:12But why, Charlie?

0:25:12 > 0:25:18All that rubbish about a travelling bed. It won't work. That's why.

0:25:18 > 0:25:21Carrie, help me to pull the bed out.

0:25:21 > 0:25:24We don't want to scratch the wall when we take off.

0:25:24 > 0:25:30How's a ruddy big bed gonna get out of here with those little windows?

0:25:30 > 0:25:35I don't know. There's a great many things about magic I don't know.

0:25:35 > 0:25:36We'll just have to find out.

0:25:36 > 0:25:39Lovely. Just so's you leave me out of it.

0:25:39 > 0:25:42I don't fancy makin' a fool of myself.

0:25:42 > 0:25:45What's come over you lately? You're no fun anymore.

0:25:45 > 0:25:47Help me tidy up the bed, Carrie.

0:25:47 > 0:25:51We don't want to go with an unmade bed. How old is Charles?

0:25:51 > 0:25:5211, going on 12.

0:25:52 > 0:25:58I see. That's what my father used to call the age of "not believing".

0:25:58 > 0:26:00What's that supposed to be?

0:26:00 > 0:26:04# When you rush around in hopeless circles

0:26:04 > 0:26:08# Searching everywhere for something true

0:26:09 > 0:26:12# You're at the age of not believing

0:26:12 > 0:26:16# When all the make believe is through... #

0:26:16 > 0:26:17That's Charlie to a "T".

0:26:17 > 0:26:22# When you set aside your childhood heroes

0:26:22 > 0:26:26# And your dreams are lost upon a shelf

0:26:26 > 0:26:31# You're at the age of not believing

0:26:31 > 0:26:34# And worst of all you doubt yourself... #

0:26:34 > 0:26:37Throw that into the waste basket.

0:26:37 > 0:26:41# You're a castaway where no-one hears you

0:26:41 > 0:26:44# On a barren isle in a lonely sea... #

0:26:44 > 0:26:47What's that meant to be? Poetry?

0:26:47 > 0:26:50# Where did all the happy endings go?

0:26:50 > 0:26:53# Where can all the good times be? #

0:26:53 > 0:26:55Everyone on the bed who's going.

0:26:55 > 0:27:00# You must face the age of not believing

0:27:00 > 0:27:03# Doubting everything you ever knew... #

0:27:03 > 0:27:05The knob, Paul.

0:27:05 > 0:27:09# Until at last you start believing

0:27:09 > 0:27:14# There's something wonderful in you... #

0:27:14 > 0:27:17Lovely sentiment, I'm sure.

0:27:17 > 0:27:20- Are you ready, Paul? - Yes, Miss Price.

0:27:20 > 0:27:22Repeat after me.

0:27:22 > 0:27:25Take us to Professor Emelius Browne...

0:27:25 > 0:27:28Take us to Professor...

0:27:29 > 0:27:32- ..Emelius Browne.- Very good.

0:27:32 > 0:27:37Headmaster, Correspondence College of Witchcraft.

0:27:37 > 0:27:39Headmaster,

0:27:39 > 0:27:41Correspondence

0:27:41 > 0:27:43College...

0:27:43 > 0:27:46..Of Witchcraft, London.

0:27:46 > 0:27:48Of Witchcraft, London.

0:27:48 > 0:27:50Now, when I say "go",

0:27:50 > 0:27:54tap the knob three times and turn it a quarter turn to the left.

0:27:56 > 0:27:59- ..Left.- That's it.

0:27:59 > 0:28:01We'd better hold on tight.

0:28:02 > 0:28:05The behaviour of the bed is something I'm not quite sure of.

0:28:05 > 0:28:08Let me breathe a little!

0:28:08 > 0:28:11All right, Paul? Ready? Go.

0:28:11 > 0:28:13One...

0:28:13 > 0:28:14two...

0:28:14 > 0:28:16three...

0:28:16 > 0:28:18CAT GROWLS

0:29:10 > 0:29:15Is this London?

0:29:11 > 0:29:15Course it is. Can't you smell that lovely sooty air?

0:29:15 > 0:29:18- Marvellous, ain't it? - Charles, are you convinced?

0:29:18 > 0:29:21Not yet. I don't see no Prof Browne.

0:29:21 > 0:29:26Neither do I. Look after the bed while I make inquiries for him.

0:29:27 > 0:29:29I told you this bed wouldn't work.

0:29:29 > 0:29:32Don't start that again.

0:29:32 > 0:29:35It didn't work proper. It was meant to take us to...

0:29:35 > 0:29:37Look!

0:29:37 > 0:29:40Professor Browne.

0:29:40 > 0:29:42Come on.

0:29:52 > 0:29:55Ladies and gentlemen, gather around, please!

0:29:55 > 0:30:01Please note the name, ladies and gentlemen! Prof Emelius Browne.

0:30:01 > 0:30:06I'm here to divert, to amuse, and yes, even to help you!

0:30:06 > 0:30:08There he is!

0:30:08 > 0:30:10It is not what things are...

0:30:12 > 0:30:15..it is what they seem to be. Is that not so, madam?

0:30:15 > 0:30:18He ain't the kind of professor I expected.

0:30:18 > 0:30:22He won't be the kind Miss Price expected, either.

0:30:22 > 0:30:25What effect a little smoke is!

0:30:25 > 0:30:29With a dash of hocus-pocus and the scent of burning...

0:30:29 > 0:30:33And the scent of burning sulphur in the air.

0:30:36 > 0:30:39For my next trick, may I draw your attention to

0:30:39 > 0:30:44this solid piece of window glass framed in an ordinary frame?

0:30:44 > 0:30:48May I also draw your attention to this ordinary steel nail?

0:30:48 > 0:30:50I shall place the framed glass

0:30:50 > 0:30:53in this brown, unprepared,

0:30:53 > 0:30:58unprepared, mark you, ladies and gentlemen, brown paper bag.

0:30:58 > 0:31:01I shall now attempt to drive the steel nail through the glass

0:31:01 > 0:31:04without breaking the glass! Impossible,

0:31:04 > 0:31:07I can hear you say. We shall see.

0:31:07 > 0:31:09GLASS BREAKS

0:31:11 > 0:31:14He ain't very good, even if he is a professor.

0:31:14 > 0:31:18I tell you what I'm going to do. No, ladies, don't go.

0:31:18 > 0:31:21Don't leave now and regret lost opportunities later.

0:31:28 > 0:31:33You, young sir, would you care to warble like the storied nightingale?

0:31:33 > 0:31:35With this inexpensive device

0:31:35 > 0:31:40you can charm the very birds down from the trees, like so.

0:31:40 > 0:31:42HE WARBLES

0:31:42 > 0:31:44How much?

0:31:44 > 0:31:46For you, sir, one penny.

0:31:46 > 0:31:48One copper coin of the realm.

0:31:54 > 0:31:56RASPBERRY-LIKE SOUND

0:31:56 > 0:32:00Carrie, I'm surprised at you, wandering off like this.

0:32:00 > 0:32:03We found Professor Browne for you.

0:32:03 > 0:32:05It don't work. I've been cheated.

0:32:05 > 0:32:07Is that Professor Browne?

0:32:07 > 0:32:13It is. How may I serve you? Would you be interested in the mating call

0:32:13 > 0:32:17of the Brazilian matouacan bird, known as the bird of love?

0:32:17 > 0:32:19- HE TWEETS - Very useful, eh?

0:32:19 > 0:32:24You're the headmaster of the College of Witchcraft?

0:32:24 > 0:32:27Late headmaster. The college is now defunct.

0:32:27 > 0:32:29Prof Browne, I'm one of your pupils.

0:32:29 > 0:32:34My dear lady, you are indeed an ornament to the college.

0:32:34 > 0:32:36Not at all.

0:32:36 > 0:32:38I was shocked when you closed it down

0:32:38 > 0:32:41without that most important last lesson.

0:32:41 > 0:32:43Sorry, my dear, no refunds.

0:32:43 > 0:32:44Look at your contract.

0:32:44 > 0:32:48I must have the spell that comes with that lesson!

0:32:48 > 0:32:52The matter is closed. Good day. I have an appointment at my club.

0:32:52 > 0:32:55The matter is not closed. Don't let him get away.

0:32:55 > 0:32:57Righto!

0:32:59 > 0:33:01THEY SHOUT

0:33:01 > 0:33:03Leave go of me... Would you mind...?

0:33:03 > 0:33:06Bash him up, Paul!

0:33:06 > 0:33:09Would you get this child off my leg?

0:33:09 > 0:33:12"Filigree, apogee, pedigree, perigee!"

0:33:13 > 0:33:15Cor!

0:33:17 > 0:33:21Now, I trust you'll behave more like a gentleman.

0:33:21 > 0:33:24Look out!

0:33:24 > 0:33:27Well, there goes another rabbit.

0:33:27 > 0:33:28What was all that about?

0:33:28 > 0:33:31I changed you into a rabbit with one of your spells.

0:33:31 > 0:33:34My spell? From my school?!

0:33:34 > 0:33:37Not one of your best. It doesn't last

0:33:37 > 0:33:42very long. Some of your others are much better.

0:33:40 > 0:33:42But I don't understand. My spell?

0:33:42 > 0:33:46They were just nonsense words I got out of an old book.

0:33:46 > 0:33:49They work perfectly well for me!

0:33:49 > 0:33:51They work for you?

0:33:54 > 0:33:59Good woman, some kind of destiny has brought us together.

0:33:59 > 0:34:01You got the words out of an old book?

0:34:01 > 0:34:03More or less.

0:34:03 > 0:34:07I changed them round a bit. I gave them my own style.

0:34:07 > 0:34:09The old sorcerers had a tendency

0:34:09 > 0:34:12to waffle on. But, dear lady,

0:34:12 > 0:34:17I never thought I'd meet somebody like you. What a treasure.

0:34:17 > 0:34:22Will you please stick to the point! I would like to see this book

0:34:22 > 0:34:23immediately.

0:34:23 > 0:34:29Certainly. It's at my new town house. Would you join me for lunch?

0:34:29 > 0:34:31We can discuss my ideas at the same time.

0:34:31 > 0:34:32Thank you. We'd be delighted.

0:34:32 > 0:34:34We shall all go together.

0:34:34 > 0:34:36On the bed?

0:34:36 > 0:34:39On the bed, Paul. Come along.

0:34:41 > 0:34:45You go round the other side. I always travel on the left.

0:34:45 > 0:34:49Will you give the address to Paul, please?

0:34:49 > 0:34:52How are we going to get there on this bed? Fly?

0:34:52 > 0:34:55With your own travelling spell.

0:34:55 > 0:34:58The one you gave with the course as a bonus.

0:34:58 > 0:35:01My travelling spell? That works as well?

0:35:01 > 0:35:03Just give the address.

0:35:03 > 0:35:058 Wynchfield Road.

0:35:05 > 0:35:07Bed,

0:35:07 > 0:35:09take us to 8 Wynchfield Road.

0:35:15 > 0:35:17TINKLES

0:35:17 > 0:35:20Madam, is this vehicle safe?

0:35:20 > 0:35:26Oh, perfectly safe. A bit theatrical perhaps, but most good spells are.

0:35:59 > 0:36:03Well, we're here. I would never have believed it.

0:36:03 > 0:36:06This must be the wrong address. You don't live here.

0:36:06 > 0:36:09In point of fact, I do. Temporarily.

0:36:09 > 0:36:13I found the front door open, the house was deserted.

0:36:13 > 0:36:15Everyone has left the neighbourhood.

0:36:15 > 0:36:18Why should they do that?

0:36:18 > 0:36:21This probably has something to do with it.

0:36:23 > 0:36:25Merciful heavens!

0:36:25 > 0:36:27Aren't you terrified at the idea of living here?

0:36:27 > 0:36:29You'd have thought so.

0:36:29 > 0:36:33I am a coward. But then I pondered, as I often do

0:36:33 > 0:36:35in the perverse nature of things,

0:36:35 > 0:36:39this object is probably the best friend I've ever had.

0:36:39 > 0:36:42It enables me, for the first time, to live like a king.

0:36:42 > 0:36:45Shall we go in?

0:36:45 > 0:36:48Rothschild '26. Noble, worldly-wise,

0:36:48 > 0:36:51but with a charming touch of innocence.

0:36:51 > 0:36:53Mr Browne, the book.

0:36:53 > 0:36:56- Where is it? - You are relentless.

0:36:56 > 0:37:00It is in the library. We'll proceed there once we've eaten.

0:37:00 > 0:37:03Why are the curtains closed?

0:37:03 > 0:37:06So we may enjoy the gentle glow of candlelight.

0:37:06 > 0:37:10More likely so's a copper don't peek in and see you here.

0:37:10 > 0:37:13Why don't you look around? I want a chat with Miss Price.

0:37:13 > 0:37:15May we?

0:37:15 > 0:37:18Yes. But don't touch anything.

0:37:18 > 0:37:22Remember, this house does not belong to Mr Browne.

0:37:22 > 0:37:27Where is that book? I need the spell on substitutiary locomotion.

0:37:37 > 0:37:41What is it? A toy shop?

0:37:39 > 0:37:41No, it's a nursery.

0:37:41 > 0:37:45Ain't you never seen a nursery?

0:37:43 > 0:37:45No. And neither have you!

0:38:20 > 0:38:22Would you hold this, please?

0:38:35 > 0:38:37What do you think of that?

0:38:44 > 0:38:47Well, I don't know what to think.

0:38:47 > 0:38:51Think how successful I could be with an assistant who can do magic.

0:38:51 > 0:38:54Oh?

0:38:54 > 0:38:57Have you ever considered entering show business?

0:38:57 > 0:38:59The what business?

0:38:59 > 0:39:02The theatre. Pantomimes, village fairs,

0:39:02 > 0:39:05the seaside! Brighton, Blackpool. Follies on the prom.

0:39:05 > 0:39:07I have very important work to do.

0:39:07 > 0:39:10We could make a packet.

0:39:10 > 0:39:12# Let us strike a bargain

0:39:12 > 0:39:14# You possess a gift

0:39:14 > 0:39:19# But I can speak the jargon that will give your gift the needed lift

0:39:19 > 0:39:23# You possess the know-how and I command the show-how

0:39:23 > 0:39:28# Oh, how successful you could be with me... #

0:39:28 > 0:39:31We're wasting valuable time.

0:39:31 > 0:39:33- What's your name?- Miss Price.

0:39:33 > 0:39:36- Your first name.- Eglantine. - Eglantine...

0:39:36 > 0:39:39# Eglantine, Eglantine

0:39:39 > 0:39:41# Oh, how you'll shine

0:39:41 > 0:39:45# Your lot and my lot have got to combine

0:39:45 > 0:39:49# Eglantine, Eglantine, hark to the stars

0:39:49 > 0:39:52# Destiny calls us, the future is ours

0:39:52 > 0:39:57# As the shine sells the boot and the blossoms the fruit

0:39:57 > 0:40:00# All you need to succeed in your plan

0:40:00 > 0:40:03# Is the proper ally upon whom to rely

0:40:03 > 0:40:07# And I'm your man

0:40:07 > 0:40:12# For I have an acumen that's nigh superhuman

0:40:12 > 0:40:15# I sell things that nobody can

0:40:15 > 0:40:19# So I humbly suggest you accept my behest

0:40:19 > 0:40:21# I'm your man

0:40:21 > 0:40:24# Eglantine, Eglantine... #

0:40:23 > 0:40:24Mr Browne!

0:40:24 > 0:40:27# Oh, how you'll shine... #

0:40:26 > 0:40:27Please stop that!

0:40:27 > 0:40:30# Your lot and my lot have got to combine

0:40:30 > 0:40:34# Eglantine, Eglantine, hark to the stars

0:40:34 > 0:40:37# Destiny calls us... #

0:40:41 > 0:40:44What are you reading?

0:40:45 > 0:40:47Isle Of Naboombu.

0:40:47 > 0:40:51- Can't be no such place. - There is too such a place.

0:40:51 > 0:40:54These pictures prove it.

0:40:54 > 0:40:56Bit weird, ain't it?

0:40:56 > 0:40:59Animals wearing hats and things.

0:41:00 > 0:41:02I like it.

0:41:02 > 0:41:04I warned you, Mr Browne.

0:41:04 > 0:41:08Now, where is the book? Well, where is it?

0:41:26 > 0:41:28At last, Mr Browne!

0:41:32 > 0:41:34The Spells of Astoroth.

0:41:34 > 0:41:36Of course.

0:41:36 > 0:41:40Ah, the travelling spell. This is where you got it.

0:41:40 > 0:41:44Does one's nose have to twitch like this?

0:41:44 > 0:41:48Oh, you're back, Mr Browne.

0:41:46 > 0:41:48A word about your tactics.

0:41:48 > 0:41:51I don't mind being changed into a hawk or tiger,

0:41:51 > 0:41:56or something with a bit of dash to it, but a rabbit! It's intolerable!

0:41:56 > 0:41:58Ah, here we are!

0:41:58 > 0:42:01Substitutiary locomotion.

0:42:01 > 0:42:04"The ancient art of..."

0:42:04 > 0:42:06"The spell

0:42:06 > 0:42:08"which creates this force

0:42:08 > 0:42:10"is five mystic words.

0:42:10 > 0:42:12"These words are..."

0:42:17 > 0:42:20But the rest of the book is missing.

0:42:20 > 0:42:23Now you see why I closed the college.

0:42:23 > 0:42:26But where are the other pages?

0:42:26 > 0:42:28Haven't the foggiest.

0:42:28 > 0:42:30- Listen to me, Mr Browne. - I'm all ears.

0:42:30 > 0:42:34You will be if you don't listen. Where did you get the book?

0:42:34 > 0:42:36From a chap in the market.

0:42:36 > 0:42:40There was some unpleasantness. He said I'd given him a dud coin.

0:42:40 > 0:42:45There was a scuffle. The book tore. He got one half, I got the other.

0:42:45 > 0:42:47Where's the other half now?

0:42:47 > 0:42:50Probably been thrown away. If it still exists,

0:42:50 > 0:42:52- there's only one place it'll be. - Where is it?

0:42:52 > 0:42:55# Portobello Road!

0:42:56 > 0:42:58# Portobello Road!

0:42:58 > 0:43:02# Street where the riches of ages are stowed

0:51:10 > 0:51:13Oi! Somethin' for the lady friend? Nylons?

0:51:13 > 0:51:15No, thank you.

0:51:15 > 0:51:17Petrol coupons? Chocs for the kids?

0:51:17 > 0:51:20How about these? Fell off the back of a lorry.

0:51:20 > 0:51:24- Be a good chap and run away. - Would you fancy this, then?

0:51:24 > 0:51:28Ah, now you have my undivided attention. What can I do for you?

0:51:28 > 0:51:33Get over to the bookman straight away. He wants to see you. You, too.

0:51:33 > 0:51:38Who is the bookman? What right has he got to order me about?

0:51:38 > 0:51:40Let's ask questions later. Excuse me.

0:51:45 > 0:51:48Sorry. No-one mentioned the stairs.

0:51:48 > 0:51:51Why didn't you bring Scotland Yard?

0:51:51 > 0:51:56And half the Household Cavalry as well?! What's the bed for?!

0:51:56 > 0:51:58A present for ya. That's what he said.

0:51:58 > 0:52:01Nothing of the sort! It belongs to me!

0:52:01 > 0:52:03And this knob is mine.

0:52:03 > 0:52:05There's been bad blood

0:52:05 > 0:52:09between us long enough. Let this gift begin friendship anew.

0:52:09 > 0:52:12Draw the curtains, lock the door.

0:52:12 > 0:52:13You'll be snug as a bug.

0:52:13 > 0:52:17Isn't that what we've been looking for?

0:52:17 > 0:52:18Who is this person?

0:52:18 > 0:52:22Eglantine Price, a charming woman of my acquaintance.

0:52:22 > 0:52:25I've been looking for this other bit a long time.

0:52:25 > 0:52:30Mr Swinburne told me you were in the market making inquiries.

0:52:30 > 0:52:34I don't mind saying, to see it altogether at last,

0:52:34 > 0:52:36there isn't much I wouldn't do.

0:52:36 > 0:52:40Or haven't done, for that matter. Right, guv?

0:52:40 > 0:52:44Close your mouth, Swinburne! Is that clear?!

0:52:44 > 0:52:49It's all rather like a jolly detective story, or jigsaw puzzle.

0:52:49 > 0:52:52We're both after the same spell.

0:52:52 > 0:52:55You have one clue, I have the other.

0:52:55 > 0:53:00In that case, the sensible thing seems to be for us to cooperate.

0:53:00 > 0:53:06Yes. I assume you're looking for the same thing I am.

0:53:06 > 0:53:08May I?

0:53:08 > 0:53:13This is quite a moment for both of us.

0:53:13 > 0:53:18"Substitutiary locomotion, the lost miracle of the Ancients."

0:53:18 > 0:53:21And so on and so forth. Ah, here we are.

0:53:21 > 0:53:26"The spell which creates this force is five mystic words.

0:53:26 > 0:53:28"These words are..."

0:53:28 > 0:53:33"Engraved on the star always worn by the sorcerer Astoroth."

0:53:33 > 0:53:35Where are the words of the spell?

0:53:35 > 0:53:39I assumed they'd be in your half of the manuscript.

0:53:39 > 0:53:41I thought they'd be in yours.

0:53:41 > 0:53:43Once again,

0:53:43 > 0:53:45a dead end.

0:53:45 > 0:53:48I shall never know the secret.

0:53:50 > 0:53:53Isn't that Astoroth? There's his star.

0:53:53 > 0:53:56It's so small you can't read the writing.

0:53:56 > 0:54:01But why the animals?

0:53:57 > 0:54:01Towards the end of his life, he kept animals in cages

0:54:01 > 0:54:05and searched for the spells that'd make them more like humans.

0:54:05 > 0:54:09The legend is the animals rebelled at the experiment,

0:54:09 > 0:54:13killed Astoroth, and stole many of his powers.

0:54:13 > 0:54:16Including the star with the spell on it.

0:54:16 > 0:54:21Possibly. They found a ship, sailed away, and were never heard of again.

0:54:21 > 0:54:26However, there's a final notation in my half of the book, saying that

0:54:26 > 0:54:30in the 17th century, a shipwrecked lascar was taken from the sea,

0:54:30 > 0:54:36half mad with thirst and exposure to the sun. Before he died,

0:54:36 > 0:54:39he swore he had seen an island ruled by animals.

0:54:39 > 0:54:41Where?

0:54:41 > 0:54:45There is, I regret to say, no such island.

0:54:45 > 0:54:49I looked for it in every chart. The Isle of Naboombu

0:54:49 > 0:54:51does not exist.

0:54:51 > 0:54:55Oh, it does too! Got me own...

0:54:55 > 0:54:57What is he trying to say?

0:54:57 > 0:55:01Nothing. When he don't say nothing he burbles.

0:55:01 > 0:55:03I wish the child to speak!

0:55:03 > 0:55:05Now you've done it.

0:55:05 > 0:55:08There is, too, such a place.

0:55:08 > 0:55:13Got me own book. There. Real pretty letters, ain't it?

0:55:13 > 0:55:16Let me see it.

0:55:16 > 0:55:19You're not interested. It's a child's book.

0:55:19 > 0:55:22I'll decide for myself. Give it.

0:55:21 > 0:55:22No!

0:55:22 > 0:55:26Please don't annoy me. Give me the book, boy.

0:55:27 > 0:55:28Not likely.

0:55:28 > 0:55:31Bit of a stalemate, isn't it?

0:55:36 > 0:55:41If it's all the same to you, I'd rather use my own. Sentiment.

0:55:41 > 0:55:44Come along, Paul. It's time to go.

0:55:44 > 0:55:46Go? How, my dear?

0:55:46 > 0:55:48The door is locked.

0:55:48 > 0:55:52Observe the fundamental weakness of the criminal mind.

0:55:52 > 0:55:55You believe in no-one or anything.

0:55:54 > 0:55:55I understand. The knob.

0:55:55 > 0:55:59Do you realise we can tell them the truth?

0:55:59 > 0:56:00They will believe nothing!

0:56:00 > 0:56:03He's up to something, you know?

0:56:03 > 0:56:08Bookman, before your very eyes, I shall cause this bed to disappear.

0:56:08 > 0:56:13Disappear? I'd like to see a cheap-jack, 10th-rate entertainer

0:56:13 > 0:56:15do a trick like that.

0:56:15 > 0:56:18Cheap-jack entertainer! That was naughty.

0:56:18 > 0:56:20- All right, Paul.- Where to?

0:56:20 > 0:56:24The island of Naboombu. I'm curious about that place.

0:56:24 > 0:56:28Good. Bed, take us to the island of Naboombu.

0:56:32 > 0:56:33TINKLES

0:56:33 > 0:56:36Enough of this nonsense. Get the book.

0:56:46 > 0:56:48WIND WHISTLES

0:56:54 > 0:56:56SPLASH!

0:57:10 > 0:57:14Beastly climate. I never did fancy the sea.

0:57:14 > 0:57:15Where are we?

0:57:15 > 0:57:17Naboombu, of course.

0:57:17 > 0:57:20I ain't never seen no island like this before.

0:57:20 > 0:57:23We may have fallen into the lagoon.

0:57:23 > 0:57:27That's right. Here we are, on page three.

0:57:33 > 0:57:35Oi, Mr Codfish!

0:57:36 > 0:57:40Hello, young fellow. Welcome to Naboombu Lagoon.

0:57:40 > 0:57:44Now I'm hearing things. Fish don't talk.

0:57:44 > 0:57:46Not too bright, is he?

0:57:46 > 0:57:48He's me brother.

0:57:48 > 0:57:50Oh? Sorry.

0:57:50 > 0:57:54Mr Codfish, where is the island of Naboombu?

0:57:54 > 0:57:57You mean the land part? Oh, that.

0:57:57 > 0:57:59Straight up. You can't miss it.

0:57:59 > 0:58:05None of my business, of course, but I shouldn't go there if I were you.

0:58:05 > 0:58:07Having troubles, they are.

0:58:07 > 0:58:09Troubles?

0:58:09 > 0:58:12He's right, you know. A lot of trouble.

0:58:12 > 0:58:17Trouble or not, let's get along. I wish to see who's in charge.

0:58:17 > 0:58:21What's the rush? It's splendid down here. For you.

1:18:10 > 1:18:13- What's the shoes for? - Really, Charles.

1:18:13 > 1:18:17If you'd been listening, you'd know substitutiary locomotion is

1:18:17 > 1:18:22the art of causing inanimate objects to take on a life force of their own.

1:18:22 > 1:18:25I must have inanimate objects to experiment with.

1:18:25 > 1:18:27Makes sense, don't it?

1:18:51 > 1:18:56It's OK. I should've realised it would be quite impossible

1:18:56 > 1:18:59to take an object from one world into another.

1:19:01 > 1:19:07Tsk. If only I'd have had the sense to remember the words on that star.

1:19:07 > 1:19:08I know the words, Miss Price.

1:19:08 > 1:19:11Don't bother her. She's thinking.

1:19:11 > 1:19:14Let's nip to the village and buy supper.

1:19:14 > 1:19:19I might conceivably call into the pub for a pint, to steady my nerves.

1:19:19 > 1:19:22- Trebonna... - I do know the words.

1:19:22 > 1:19:28Come along. How can you know the words when Miss Price doesn't?

1:19:28 > 1:19:33"..Troop movements and massing of barges in French and Dutch ports."

1:19:33 > 1:19:36"The nation has been told to be

1:19:36 > 1:19:39"on the alert for signs of a possible invasion..."

1:19:39 > 1:19:42I might've been able to do something about all this.

1:19:42 > 1:19:44It's out of your hands now.

1:19:44 > 1:19:47If only I could remember those words. It's maddening.

1:19:47 > 1:19:50Why don't someone ask me?

1:19:50 > 1:19:54Come off it. You can't remember those kind of words.

1:19:54 > 1:19:57You mean like treguna, mekoides,

1:19:57 > 1:19:59trecorum, satis, dee?

1:19:59 > 1:20:05Treguna, mekoides, trecorum, satis, dee? How do you know that?

1:20:10 > 1:20:14You mean it was there in your book all the time?

1:20:32 > 1:20:36It does seem a bit old fashioned. We are in the 20th Century.

1:20:36 > 1:20:39What do you suggest?

1:20:39 > 1:20:41Well, it needs rhythm.

1:20:41 > 1:20:43Tempo. Music. As I always say,

1:20:43 > 1:20:45"Do it with a flair." Mind if I have a go?

1:25:01 > 1:25:05Cheer up. This should be something of a celebration.

1:25:05 > 1:25:10I'm sorry, but there doesn't seem to be much to celebrate.

1:25:10 > 1:25:13I still haven't mastered that spell.

1:25:13 > 1:25:16Of course you have. You just need more practise.

1:25:16 > 1:25:18Do you really think so?

1:26:22 > 1:26:24Good news?

1:26:24 > 1:26:28Mr Bisselthwaite said he'll take the children in.

1:26:28 > 1:26:32He and his wife have got a farm. Ideal for children.

1:26:36 > 1:26:39I thought you'd be pleased. You told me

1:26:42 > 1:26:45Circumstances have changed somewhat.

1:26:45 > 1:26:49That's right. We've got a dad now. Mr Browne.

1:26:51 > 1:26:52Miss Price, is this true?

1:26:52 > 1:26:54Of course.

1:26:54 > 1:26:58You do want him to stay with us, don't you, Miss Price?

1:26:58 > 1:27:02I suppose I hadn't really thought about it.

1:27:02 > 1:27:07What about him? What do you say about it, Mr Browne?

1:27:07 > 1:27:11Why, it's all rather sudden. I don't quite know what to say.

1:27:11 > 1:27:14Oh, then I'll leave you two to talk it over.

1:27:14 > 1:27:19I'll come back in the mornin'. Yes, good night.

1:27:19 > 1:27:21Good night.

1:27:24 > 1:27:30It is true, Mr Browne. You are going to be our father now, aren't you?

1:27:30 > 1:27:34Well, er, we are rather rushing things, aren't we?

1:27:36 > 1:27:41Perhaps Mr Browne has other things beside you lot to think about.

1:27:43 > 1:27:46Yes, as a matter of fact I should've left ages ago.

1:27:46 > 1:27:50I-I must get a train back to London tonight.

1:27:50 > 1:27:52It's rather an important matter.

1:27:52 > 1:27:58I'd like to tell you about it but it's a bit hush, hush. A secret.

1:27:58 > 1:28:00Well, er,

1:28:07 > 1:28:10You've been immensely kind. Thank you.

1:28:10 > 1:28:12I've enjoyed being with you.

1:28:12 > 1:28:17Perhaps it's been good for all of us. Will you be coming back?

1:28:17 > 1:28:22Some day, my dear. I certainly hope we shall meet again. Some day.

1:28:22 > 1:28:25When all this war business is over.

1:28:25 > 1:28:29- I see.- Then, maybe, I shall realise my fondest dream.

1:29:00 > 1:29:03Yes. It's best for everyone. Goodbye, Paul.
