0:00:01 > 0:00:06*
0:01:23 > 0:01:26- Morning, Fred.- Morning, Norman.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47CLOCK CHIMES
0:01:47 > 0:01:49Get your skates on!
0:01:49 > 0:01:54You're late again! You'll cop it. Hurry up!
0:02:26 > 0:02:29Norman... Norman!
0:02:29 > 0:02:36- Yes, Mr Stoneway?- Prepare my work. And stop looking out of that window! - Yes, Mr Stoneway.
0:02:45 > 0:02:50- How's the girlfriend, Norman? - We travelled up together today.
0:02:50 > 0:02:54- Travelled up together, eh? - Well, same train.
0:02:54 > 0:02:59Norman...shall I give you a tip?
0:03:00 > 0:03:04- Please.- Danny Boy, Hurst Park, 10:1.
0:03:04 > 0:03:11- No, betting's a mug's game. - Danny Boy's gonna win me a whole week's wages this afternoon.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13I'll bet you it doesn't!
0:03:16 > 0:03:21What's wrong with the favourites?! Danny Boy's the fourth one to lose.
0:03:21 > 0:03:25There, Jimmy. Get that lot counted.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27Mayfair 1425, please.
0:03:27 > 0:03:31- PHONE RINGS - Lumb & Weaver Turf Accountants.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33..Hello, Alfie.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36..It lost, eh? Jolly good.
0:03:36 > 0:03:41The jockey got boxed in. It's all right for you bookmakers.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44Quite a turn up. Thanks. Goodbye.
0:03:44 > 0:03:49- Danny Boy beaten by Nightclub Queen at 33:1.- We're in the money.
0:03:49 > 0:03:54We'll open some champagne and buy something nice for Miss Daviot.
0:03:54 > 0:03:59There's no need to buy a bonus for our staff. Staff?!
0:03:59 > 0:04:06Nonsense. She's had nothing since that mink stole we bought her after that lucrative week at Ascot.
0:04:06 > 0:04:11Which you pawned again after a not-so-lucrative week at Windsor.
0:04:11 > 0:04:15Tomorrow morning, you and I go shopping.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23- Very nice.- Yes.
0:04:24 > 0:04:29Very attractive. £2,475, if the gentleman requires something reasonable.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32- It's not really me.- No, it's not.
0:04:32 > 0:04:39- Perhaps you'd prefer this really rather intriguing diamond clip. That's attractive.- Yes, it is.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42£3,250. Oh, it IS.
0:04:42 > 0:04:49- Or possibly something rather more informal?- Possibly. That pendant's quite pretty.
0:04:49 > 0:04:53- This one.- The little chap. Isn't that more you?
0:04:53 > 0:05:00That depends on the price. That one is 775 guineas. A real bargain, I assure you.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03Would you like it, Miss Daviot?
0:05:03 > 0:05:08I'm not mad about the ruby. Could I change it for a diamond?
0:05:08 > 0:05:11Madam has such excellent taste.
0:05:13 > 0:05:17- BUZZER SOUNDS You'd better go.- Me?!
0:05:17 > 0:05:23- Go down to the shop and see what's wanted.- Shop?!- S...H...O...!
0:05:23 > 0:05:26P! Er, yes, Mr Stoneway.
0:05:26 > 0:05:30- And put your coat on! - Oh, yes, Mr Stoneway.
0:05:32 > 0:05:36- Take your apron off! - Yes, Mr Stoneway.
0:05:36 > 0:05:42- And Norman...- Yes?- Don't forget the dignity of the firm.- No, Mr Stoneway.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05Good morning. Might I be of assistance?
0:06:05 > 0:06:08Yes. This pendant.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13- They haven't bought it?!- They have.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16- What about this one? - Really!- Or this one?
0:06:16 > 0:06:22- Why not the one we want?- I- want it. - It won't suit you.- No, not for me.
0:06:22 > 0:06:27- For the girl who works in the shop over the road.- And you'll buy it?
0:06:27 > 0:06:33- I haven't met her yet.- Look, have I or have I not bought that pendant?
0:06:33 > 0:06:36- You have, sir.- Oh, no...- Silence!
0:06:36 > 0:06:40Please ask Mr Stoneway to replace the centre ruby.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43- What? Have it dug out?!- Yes.
0:06:43 > 0:06:48- This'll cause shocking trouble. - Please take it to Mr Stoneway...
0:06:48 > 0:06:51You don't have to work with him!
0:06:51 > 0:06:56Ask Mr Stoneway to remove the ruby and replace it with a diamond!
0:06:56 > 0:07:00And will you please go? Go!
0:07:03 > 0:07:08- Someone's bought this. - That's what it's here for.
0:07:08 > 0:07:13- Mr Cranley said to dig the ruby out and shove a diamond in.- Very well.
0:07:13 > 0:07:18- And get a move on.- Eh?!- HE said. They want it delivered by lunchtime.
0:07:18 > 0:07:22- Put it down. And take your coat off. - Yes, Mr Stoneway.
0:07:22 > 0:07:26- And put your apron on. - Yes, Mr Stoneway.
0:07:26 > 0:07:30- You can deliver it yourself. - Yes, Mr Stoneway.
0:07:30 > 0:07:34- I'll have it finished by 1pm. - Me lunchtime!
0:07:34 > 0:07:37Exactly. And don't you be late back!
0:07:39 > 0:07:43- No, Mr Stoneway. - HE MOUTHS
0:07:56 > 0:07:59Come in.
0:07:59 > 0:08:03- Oh, it's you.- I brought your pendant.- Well, come in.
0:08:06 > 0:08:11- I'm having some sandwiches. Have you had lunch?- I have it in the park.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14Why don't you have some here?
0:08:14 > 0:08:17- No, er...- Come on. There's plenty.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21Oh, well. No harm done, I suppose.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24Well, that's up to you.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26Er, I'd better stick to the park.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29Don't be silly. I'm only joking.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33Well, thank you.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40- We had that diamond fixed. - Much better.
0:08:40 > 0:08:45If Mr Lumb has a bad day at Goodwood, it'll be straight in the pop shop.
0:08:45 > 0:08:50- No!- Still, I wouldn't work for anyone else.- Why not?
0:08:50 > 0:08:56- You like him, don't you?- He's sweet. Somebody's gotta look after him.
0:08:56 > 0:09:01I tell you what. If it's in the pawn and you win £2,000 on the pools,
0:09:01 > 0:09:06I'll give you the ticket then you can redeem it for your girlfriend.
0:09:06 > 0:09:12I worked out how long it'd take me to save up to buy the pendant.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15- How long d'you reckon?- How long?
0:09:15 > 0:09:18114 years!
0:09:18 > 0:09:20- No!- Yeah.
0:09:20 > 0:09:25- You'll have to back a horse.- You'd need a big stake to win £2,000.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28- Not with an accumulator.- What?
0:09:28 > 0:09:33- You back a horse at 6:1.- How much d'you have to put on it?- A pound.
0:09:33 > 0:09:37- All right, then! A pound at 6:1.- Fine.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40- Where?- Oh, just imagine it.
0:09:40 > 0:09:45- All right. A pound accumulator on four horses, A, B, C and D.- Yeah.
0:09:45 > 0:09:50- The first one wins 6:1 - that's £6, right?- Right.
0:09:50 > 0:09:58- That £6 plus your original stake - that's £7 - goes on horse B. - What price?- 100:6. And it wins!
0:09:58 > 0:10:01- Cor! That's...- £116...and a bit.
0:10:01 > 0:10:05That plus seven goes on horse C,
0:10:05 > 0:10:08a rank outsider, 33:1. It wins.
0:10:08 > 0:10:13That's £4,059. So, horse D comes up 2:1,
0:10:13 > 0:10:17that's two diamond pendants and a Rolls.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20So I just won £12,000 then?
0:10:20 > 0:10:25- Yes...on paper.- Still, if only two of 'em came up, that'd be £100.
0:10:25 > 0:10:30- You'd lose it all on the third. - Oh, I've gotta win 'em all?
0:10:30 > 0:10:35- 'Fraid so. They don't often work accumulators...- But when they do...!
0:10:38 > 0:10:43- Afternoon.- Afternoon, sir. Miss Daviot's looking after you, I hope?
0:10:43 > 0:10:49- He's not a client. He's from Dormier's with Miss Daviot's pendant.- Oh, I see.
0:10:49 > 0:10:53- I showed...- Norman. - ..how to make £12,000 out of £1.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56- Jolly good.- Tea, Miss Daviot.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59We need a shilling for the meter.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02- No tea.- Are you gonna have a bash?
0:11:02 > 0:11:09- I dunno. What's the quickest way for me to have one of these...? What's it called?- Accumulator.- Yes.
0:11:09 > 0:11:15- Back a jockey.- Like you do horses? - Yes. Bet on each horse he rides.
0:11:15 > 0:11:19- Which is the best jockey? - The Goodwood hope is Eddie Diamond.
0:11:19 > 0:11:23Diamond... Diamond! That's the one I'll have!
0:11:23 > 0:11:29- This is all I got.- A shilling - just what we need for the meter.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32- He'll get it back, won't he? - Of course.
0:11:32 > 0:11:39- I'll have a pound on all Diamond's mounts tomorrow. - Only two tomorrow.- I want six.
0:11:39 > 0:11:43That's ALL of his mounts. They won't all win.
0:11:43 > 0:11:49- I'll chance it.- You've no pound. - I will tomorrow.- I'd think it over.
0:11:49 > 0:11:54- No, I'm gonna have a go. - If you say so.- I say so.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57I'll bring a pound in the morning. 19 shillings.
0:11:57 > 0:12:01- CLOCK CHIMES - Two o'clock!
0:12:06 > 0:12:09And don't forget! I'm a client now!
0:12:09 > 0:12:13Poor Norman. Like taking sweets from a child.
0:12:13 > 0:12:18Mugs like him on a larger scale are our bread and butter.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20Jolly nice.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23Tea, Miss Daviot. Right, Mr Weaver.
0:12:25 > 0:12:30- Come here.- There was something I wanted to talk to you...- Sit down.
0:12:30 > 0:12:36- What I was gonna say was... - Put this on.- Oh, no!- Don't argue!
0:12:42 > 0:12:47- What I was gonna say was could I have a sub?- What do you mean?
0:12:47 > 0:12:52- You know, just a pound till the end of the week.- What for?
0:12:52 > 0:12:58- I've got a bit of business on.- What did you do with last week's wages?
0:12:58 > 0:13:01- I gave that to me mum.- To your mum?
0:13:01 > 0:13:04- Oh, yeah.- I...
0:13:05 > 0:13:11- Do you always do that?- Yeah. She gives me some for me train fares.
0:13:11 > 0:13:17- I like to hear of a man who gives his money to his mother.- Really?
0:13:17 > 0:13:22- It warms my heart.- Does it?- Very sensible woman she appears to be.
0:13:22 > 0:13:27- She is.- She wouldn't trust you with a pound, would she?
0:13:27 > 0:13:29Not ordinarily, no.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32She's quite right. Neither would I!
0:14:28 > 0:14:31Mind the doors! >
0:14:33 > 0:14:36Sir! Sir! Your pound!
0:14:37 > 0:14:43Oi! Your pound! I've got your pound! You dropped...!
0:14:43 > 0:14:46Oi! Not yours!
0:14:48 > 0:14:51Hey, you! ..Guard, guard!
0:14:54 > 0:14:57- Evening, Mr Hedges.- Evening, Norman.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12- Norman! Is that you?- Yes, Mum.
0:15:12 > 0:15:17- There you are. Bit late, aren't you? - Don't think so.
0:15:17 > 0:15:21- I've got a nice piece of liver for you.- I'm not hungry.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24Nonsense. Put that paper away.
0:15:25 > 0:15:30- It's an evening paper. I hope you found it on the train.- I bought it.
0:15:30 > 0:15:35Bought it?! Whatever next? Throwing away your money like that!
0:15:35 > 0:15:38- What did you want it for?- To read.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40What are you looking at?
0:15:40 > 0:15:45Racing! Norman, have you been backing horses?
0:15:45 > 0:15:48- No, Mum.- You sure?- Yes, Mum, honest.
0:15:48 > 0:15:53You'd better not. You'll be the same as your father.
0:15:53 > 0:15:57As soon as the craze got him, that was it.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00- Left us, he did.- Yes, Mum, I know.
0:16:00 > 0:16:05- Walked out and left us flat. - I wouldn't mind seeing Dad again.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08Oh...
0:16:08 > 0:16:14Wouldn't mind(?) If I thought you were following in his footsteps...
0:16:16 > 0:16:20- Turn out your pockets. - Oh, Mum, really!- Come on.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25- Is that all?- Yeah.- Shilling short.
0:16:25 > 0:16:30- I know.- Where is it?- A gentleman borrowed it.- What gentleman?
0:16:30 > 0:16:35- A customer.- A fine gentleman he sounds(!) Get it back!
0:16:35 > 0:16:38- All right. - I'll have to cut your allowance.
0:16:38 > 0:16:45- We'll put it in the holiday fund. - How d'you expect me to get to work? Walk?!
0:16:45 > 0:16:52From now on, I'll give you your exact fare. Evening papers, indeed. Give it to me.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57Ooh-ooh!
0:16:57 > 0:17:01- That'll be Phoebe.- Oh, no! - ..Come in!
0:17:03 > 0:17:05Hello, Norm.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08- Am I early?- No, he's late.
0:17:08 > 0:17:12- Hello, Phoebe.- How's your mother? - Nicely, thanks.
0:17:12 > 0:17:19- What picture are we gonna see, Norm?- Sorry, Phoebe. I haven't any money.- I can pay.
0:17:19 > 0:17:24- I don't want you to pay for me.- It doesn't matter for once, does it?
0:17:24 > 0:17:27I've got over a pound.
0:17:29 > 0:17:34- Have you?!- Yes.- Well, what are we waiting for? Come on. Bye-bye, Mum.
0:17:34 > 0:17:38- Norman.- Yeah?- No monkey business.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44Seats 3/6, 2/4 and 1/9!
0:17:44 > 0:17:47- Get 1/9's.- We'll go in the 3/6's.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50- Don't break that pound.- Why not?
0:17:50 > 0:17:53- Look, I need it.- Whatever for?
0:17:53 > 0:17:55- It's urgent.- Well, I don't know!
0:17:55 > 0:17:58..Two 2/4's, please.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00Thank you.
0:18:00 > 0:18:05- D'you want orangeade?- No, I don't, but you can. Go on, get your straw.

0:22:41 > 0:22:44Oh, you are a nuisance!
0:22:44 > 0:22:50- I've gotta blow me nose, haven't I? - Can't you just blow it left-handed?
0:22:51 > 0:22:53It must be in me mac.
0:22:54 > 0:22:57Oh, Norman, pack it up!
0:23:02 > 0:23:04BLOWS NOSE LOUDLY

0:37:46 > 0:37:51- He's got cold feet.- Your pound is on all six horses and there it stays.

0:38:31 > 0:38:36If either of them lose, I'll lose my original stake of a pound.
0:38:36 > 0:38:38I'll keep my fingers crossed.
0:38:38 > 0:38:43It's not the pound that worries me so much as the way I got it.
0:38:43 > 0:38:49- How did you get it?- I borrowed it from me and my mum's holiday fund.
0:38:49 > 0:38:52- Oh. Will she mind?- Will she mind(?)
0:38:52 > 0:38:57- It gives me a shocking headache to think of it.- Here, take these.
0:38:57 > 0:39:00- What are they?- Only aspirin.
0:39:00 > 0:39:05- Thank you.- Can you manage without water?- Well, I'll chew 'em.
0:39:10 > 0:39:12Oh, it's not as bad as all that.
0:39:12 > 0:39:15I'll have this as a souvenir, eh?
0:39:17 > 0:39:22- So you live with your mother?- Yes. Dad left home when I was only a kid.
0:39:22 > 0:39:25Oh, dear. Another woman?
0:39:25 > 0:39:31- Oh, it was worse than that. Horses. - Oh. Horses.
0:39:34 > 0:39:41Funny, you know, us not talking until this morning and now we're in the park together.
0:39:44 > 0:39:46I like it. Nice.
0:39:46 > 0:39:52- Have you got a family?- I live with my father. That's who I'm meeting.

0:40:41 > 0:40:44What were you doing in the park?!

0:40:58 > 0:41:02- Normal.- Oh.- No, you don't! - You said it was normal.
0:41:02 > 0:41:10You've always been subnormal. Under them bedclothes. No work for you today, my lad. There you stay!

0:41:24 > 0:41:26He was perfectly all right yesterday.
0:41:26 > 0:41:31This is really most awkward. We're short-staffed as it is.
0:41:31 > 0:41:35If he's not here tomorrow, we shall need a certificate.

0:42:34 > 0:42:39We won't, you know. The bank was on the phone this morning.
0:42:39 > 0:42:44- That's a nice brooch... The firm didn't buy this.- Pity.
0:42:44 > 0:42:48Where's the pendant? In a safe place.
0:42:48 > 0:42:52- Don't worry. It'll all balance. - Three ponies, guv.- See?
0:42:52 > 0:42:56I'm not so sure. What about our friend's accumulator?
0:42:56 > 0:43:02- He wouldn't know where to collect his money.- What about our office?
0:43:02 > 0:43:05- We'd have moved by then.- Welched.

0:50:42 > 0:50:47There's nothing wrong with me! Where are you taking me?
0:50:47 > 0:50:51Where are you taking me? There's nothing wrong with me!
0:50:51 > 0:50:55A drink of water would've done! Pack it up!
0:50:55 > 0:50:58Where are you taking me?
0:50:59 > 0:51:03What's going on?! Oi!
0:51:03 > 0:51:09..Well, get his things off! We'll have to chance his blood count.
0:51:09 > 0:51:11You'll chance nothing with me!
0:51:11 > 0:51:16- We haven't much time.- It's a lot of nonsense. I only fainted!
0:51:16 > 0:51:21- Get his trousers off! - You ain't getting nothing off!
0:51:21 > 0:51:26- Otherwise we can't operate. - Operate?! Who d'you think you are?
0:51:26 > 0:51:30We must get that bottle out of your tummy.
0:51:30 > 0:51:33- Get him under! - Right, sir.
0:51:35 > 0:51:37Hold him still!
0:51:42 > 0:51:46- You dirty lot of kidnappers! - Quickly, nurse! Strip him!
0:51:46 > 0:51:50- Get hold of him. - Get your hands off me!
0:51:53 > 0:51:57What do you think you're doing?! Get him under!
0:51:57 > 0:52:01- I won't stand for this! - Get him on the table.
0:52:04 > 0:52:06Hold him!
0:52:07 > 0:52:11Get the table ready. He'll soon be under.
0:52:14 > 0:52:20- Get him on the table! - Come on! It won't take a minute!
0:52:20 > 0:52:23We're trying to help! Be still!
0:52:23 > 0:52:26Oh, don't make such a fuss!
0:52:33 > 0:52:37I'm terribly sorry, sir. It was an accident.
0:52:37 > 0:52:44You must hurry! Get it off! I can't. It's stuck!
0:52:44 > 0:52:50- I've got to get to the races. - Oh, sir! The trouble you've caused!
0:53:19 > 0:53:23Through there, second entrance. Thank you very much.
0:53:23 > 0:53:25'Ere!
0:53:25 > 0:53:28You! Are you all right?
0:53:28 > 0:53:32- VERY SLURRED: - Don't you worry about me.
0:53:32 > 0:53:36- Did Fricassee win? - Are you interested?- Course.
0:53:36 > 0:53:39Take my tip - have a lie down.
0:53:39 > 0:53:43Don't you tease me! Did Fricassee win?
0:53:43 > 0:53:46Yes. Second favourite, Eddie Diamond.
0:53:50 > 0:53:55- What have you been drinking? Chloroform?!- How did you guess?
0:54:01 > 0:54:04'And the tote returns.
0:54:04 > 0:54:09'Win, number nine, 3/6, number four, 2/3.'
0:54:12 > 0:54:17Oh, gracious! I beg your pardon. ..Sorry, my dear.
0:54:17 > 0:54:20HE CHUCKLES
0:54:20 > 0:54:23Excuse me. Sorry, sorry.
0:54:29 > 0:54:32Oi-oi!
0:54:35 > 0:54:37Oi-oi!
0:54:38 > 0:54:43There's a little ticktack in there, got a very good tip for Clarius.
0:54:49 > 0:54:50Hello!
0:54:52 > 0:54:54Hello!
0:54:56 > 0:54:59- What you got on?- I beg your pardon?
0:55:03 > 0:55:06Yeah. Yeah, I got a bet on, yeah!
0:55:11 > 0:55:15I'll have it in me hand. I'll be rolling in money!
0:55:15 > 0:55:20They must be putting a fortune on this horse. He's showing odds-on.
0:55:20 > 0:55:22Odds-on?
0:55:22 > 0:55:25We're gonna win! Gonna win! Yeah.
0:55:27 > 0:55:29He says it's all right.
0:55:29 > 0:55:32There's no doubt in my mind.
0:55:32 > 0:55:36Then we'll have a drink. We'll gallop the wallop!
0:55:36 > 0:55:40Here, rub that off. It's on the blower!
0:55:44 > 0:55:48Have a gallop of the wallop, pushing it back!
0:55:49 > 0:55:52'Scuse me, 'scuse me.
0:55:55 > 0:56:00- Is this the 4.30 race? - Been celebrating a bit?
0:56:00 > 0:56:07- Wait till you've won before you do that.- I don't drink. I'm as sober as a newborn judge, I am.
0:56:16 > 0:56:20- What won that race? - Red Pepper.
0:56:21 > 0:56:28- What horse was mine?- Red Pepper. - Diamond's hat trick.- His fifth win in your accumulator.- MY accumulator?
0:56:28 > 0:56:30Red Pepper?
0:56:30 > 0:56:33That's my horse!
0:56:36 > 0:56:38I've done it yet again!
0:56:39 > 0:56:41Congratulations!
0:56:41 > 0:56:46- Congratulations!- You'd better go and drink a gallon of black coffee.
0:56:46 > 0:56:51Here, I can afford it now! ..Congratulations.
0:56:51 > 0:56:53I've had a big win today.
0:56:53 > 0:56:56How about you?
0:57:01 > 0:57:06- Really!- I'll keep an eye on him. Why?
0:57:06 > 0:57:09- Somebody's got to.- Why?
0:57:16 > 0:57:20- Tea and a bun, please, miss. - Tea and a bun.
0:57:27 > 0:57:29Sixpence, please.
0:57:37 > 0:57:40- I haven't got any. - Oh, what a shame(!)
0:57:40 > 0:57:43Oh, no! I know it sounds daft,
0:57:43 > 0:57:47- but I'm worth over £16,000. - Fancy that!
0:57:47 > 0:57:54Yeah. Look, here's the account. This is my bookmakers account and I'll pay you tomorrow, maybe.
0:57:54 > 0:57:59- Sorry, dear.- Oh, be a sport, just for the sake of sixpence.
0:57:59 > 0:58:05Find your bookmaker, borrow sixpence and you can have your tea, but not before.
0:58:05 > 0:58:08Ain't it marvellous?
0:58:08 > 0:58:14You'd think a fellow rolling in money would be able to have a stale cake
0:58:14 > 0:58:18- and a chipped cup of tea. - Have you done?!
0:58:18 > 0:58:23- D'you wanna borrow ten bob?- Oh, I didn't see you.- I'm not surprised.
0:58:23 > 0:58:28Thank you. Miss, two teas and two cakes, please.
0:58:29 > 0:58:36I'll pay you back out of my winnings. Your firm owes me over £16,000.
0:58:36 > 0:58:38Not unless Old Casper wins tomorrow.
0:58:38 > 0:58:42- What chance has he got? - They're offering 100:1 against.
0:58:42 > 0:58:49Hello, Eddie. Usual high tea? Yeah. No milk, no sugar.
0:58:49 > 0:58:51What if he doesn't ride Old Casper?
0:58:51 > 0:58:56What if he doesn't ride another horse for the rest of the meeting?
0:58:56 > 0:59:01- Then we write you a cheque for £16,848.- That's it!
0:59:01 > 0:59:05- Look who's here. - That's him. That's him.
0:59:06 > 0:59:11- Watching your weight, Mr Diamond? - That's right. Nothing to eat.
0:59:11 > 0:59:14< You must be hungry.
0:59:14 > 0:59:18Starving. I've got to lose some weight before tomorrow.
0:59:18 > 0:59:22- Good luck.- Thank you. - Tidy yourself up.
0:59:24 > 0:59:29- Miss, those cream cakes, I'll have them.- What, all of them?!
0:59:29 > 0:59:31Just to start with.
0:59:38 > 0:59:40- Afternoon, Mr Diamond.- Hello.
0:59:40 > 0:59:42..Thank you.
0:59:57 > 1:00:00Cor, smashing cream.
1:00:02 > 1:00:04- Want one?- No, thanks.
1:00:04 > 1:00:10- Oh, come on, have one. Take your pick.- No, no, I daren't.
1:00:10 > 1:00:14- They're light as feathers, these are.- Please!
1:00:17 > 1:00:20Oh! Mmm-mmm!
1:00:20 > 1:00:22It's all chocolate coated.
1:00:22 > 1:00:28- You sure you won't change your mind?- Yes, quite sure.
1:00:29 > 1:00:32Just have a taste, eh? Go on.
1:00:36 > 1:00:40- Cut that out, will you? - You might as well finish it.
1:00:43 > 1:00:47I found this on his pillow when I got back.
1:00:47 > 1:00:52"Dear Mum. Felt better. Gone to work. Norman." Well?
1:00:52 > 1:00:57I rang the shop when I was out and he hasn't been there at all!
1:00:57 > 1:01:02He'll go the same way as his father. Oh, I'll give him such a...
1:01:02 > 1:01:04Don't take on so, Mrs Hackett.
1:01:04 > 1:01:10- Ooh-ooh! Ma says, should she phone the police?- The police? What for?
1:01:10 > 1:01:15To see if there's any news. I mean, he might've been knocked down.
1:01:15 > 1:01:20- Don't worry. They don't charge. - For what?
1:01:20 > 1:01:26- For an ambulance. Not now it's nationalised. - If it's an accident, it's free.
1:01:26 > 1:01:29What are you talking about, girl?
1:01:29 > 1:01:34- I know what I'd do. - What's that?- Drag the river.
1:01:34 > 1:01:38Hardly worth it. They float to the top after three days.
1:01:38 > 1:01:41- What?- Bodies, blown up like balloons.
1:01:47 > 1:01:52- If you lose tomorrow, I'm gonna lose £16,000.- You've lost it.
1:01:52 > 1:01:56- If you don't ride, I'll share my winnings.- Nothing doing.
1:01:56 > 1:02:02- I'll give you £10,000.- My jockey licence is worth more than £10,000.
1:02:02 > 1:02:10- Any chance of the old woman not running her horse?- No.- What if I offer her money?- She's rich already.
1:02:10 > 1:02:14You could go and see her, offer to buy the horse.
1:02:16 > 1:02:23- What would I do with a horse? - Scratch it.- Eh?- Stop it running. If you own it, you can do what you like.
1:02:23 > 1:02:28- D'you think she'd sell? - It's worth trying. You'd clean up.
1:02:28 > 1:02:32- D'you know where she lives? - Somewhere in Surrey.
1:02:52 > 1:02:57- They're all out!- There must be someone... Oh, shut up!
1:03:07 > 1:03:11- Is this Mrs Dooley's house? - Yes. Come in.
1:03:11 > 1:03:16- I take it you're the gentleman who telephoned.- That's right, miss.
1:03:18 > 1:03:20In here.
1:03:26 > 1:03:30- You're Mrs Dooley, aren't you?- I am.
1:03:30 > 1:03:34- You're the scallywag who wants one of me horses?- Yes, ma'am.
1:03:34 > 1:03:39- Well, sit down, then. - Sit down, sit down!
1:03:40 > 1:03:45Make yourself at home. It's Josephine's bath night.
1:03:45 > 1:03:49Shake the young gentleman by the hand, Josephine.
1:03:49 > 1:03:54- Be polite. Say good evening to him. - Good evening, Josephine.
1:03:56 > 1:04:01That's a good girl. What d'you think of the young man?
1:04:01 > 1:04:05JOSEPHINE BLOWS RASPBERRY
1:04:05 > 1:04:11She's a bold girl. Tell me, what makes you want to buy Old Casper?
1:04:11 > 1:04:16I can't see the point in racing horses who've no chance of winning.
1:04:16 > 1:04:19Win? I don't race me horses to win.
1:04:19 > 1:04:27I like them to have the exercise and the fun, so me trainer races them when they look depressed.
1:04:27 > 1:04:30You wouldn't mind selling Old Casper, would you?
1:04:30 > 1:04:34How can a young man afford to buy a race horse?
1:04:34 > 1:04:41I can't, but I will if I do own him. Old Casper means a lot to me.
1:04:41 > 1:04:47- Be after ringing that bell. Have you had anything to eat? - Not since tea, no.
1:04:47 > 1:04:51- We sup at 3am - the best time to eat.- Yeah?
1:04:51 > 1:04:58- We sleep by day and watch through the night, in case the children have a need of us.- Children?!
1:04:58 > 1:05:01The animals!
1:05:03 > 1:05:07- That's another one of me in India. - Yes, yes...
1:05:09 > 1:05:11That's me late husband.
1:05:13 > 1:05:15Look, now.
1:05:15 > 1:05:20Me late husband. No, not that one! That's a warthog.
1:05:20 > 1:05:23- This side.- Oh, yes, yes...
1:05:23 > 1:05:26COCK CROWS
1:05:33 > 1:05:36- Morning, Kathie.- Morning, ma'am.
1:05:38 > 1:05:43- Good news, ma'am. The ostrich laid an egg.- The clever girl!
1:05:45 > 1:05:47Morning, Charles.
1:05:47 > 1:05:53- It's daylight already!- It's morning. - What's the time?- Quarter past seven.
1:05:53 > 1:05:57- I've been sitting here all night. - Here's me whiskered bat...
1:05:57 > 1:06:01- It's today! This afternoon! - What's this afternoon?
1:06:01 > 1:06:06- Just about Old Casper. - We can talk about him later.
1:06:06 > 1:06:10Can't I have something on paper saying he's mine?
1:06:10 > 1:06:17- What's the hurry? I'm off to me bed now. - Please, Mrs Dooley, don't go to bed,
1:06:17 > 1:06:23- not till the horse is signed over. After today will be too late.- What?
1:06:23 > 1:06:27Er...well, it's my girlfriend, we're engaged.
1:06:27 > 1:06:31Today's her birthday, so I want to give her the horse.
1:06:31 > 1:06:35I'll pay tomorrow, but I must give her it today.
1:06:35 > 1:06:40- Your sweetheart's birthday. - Yes. We're very much in love.
1:06:40 > 1:06:43You're in love.
1:06:44 > 1:06:47Very much in love.
1:06:51 > 1:06:55Me husband and I were your age when first we met.
1:06:55 > 1:06:58We used to ride together.
1:06:58 > 1:07:02- He died before our love had time to blossom.- Oh.
1:07:02 > 1:07:05What were we talking about?
1:07:05 > 1:07:09- Old Casper.- Oh, yes.- For my fiancee.
1:07:09 > 1:07:12- What's her name?- Anne.
1:07:12 > 1:07:15- Is she very pretty?- Smashing.
1:07:15 > 1:07:18Smashing, eh? I MUST see her!
1:07:18 > 1:07:23If I like her, you shall have the horse. Bring her to me now, today.
1:07:23 > 1:07:29- But...- That's enough! Go and fetch her and we'll see about me horse.
1:07:29 > 1:07:31All right. I'll fetch her.
1:07:33 > 1:07:38Hello, Anne. Look, I need your help very badly. I must get the horse!
1:07:38 > 1:07:42- Get the horse? - THE horse. I wanna buy it.
1:07:42 > 1:07:46- Norman, are you ill? - Yes! Er, no, no, no.
1:07:46 > 1:07:50Look, I want to buy someone a present...
1:07:50 > 1:07:53as a sort of...well, a proposal.
1:07:54 > 1:08:00- I need your help. Can you get the day off?- Well, it is my day off.
1:08:00 > 1:08:04Listen, Anne, this is what I want you to do...
1:08:10 > 1:08:14ELEPHANT TRUMPETS
1:08:21 > 1:08:23Lovely grub!
1:08:24 > 1:08:27Oh, Anne, I'm glad you got here.
1:08:27 > 1:08:30That necklace, I want to buy it for you.
1:08:30 > 1:08:35- You know why, don't you? - Are you trying to propose?
1:08:35 > 1:08:38Well, it's more than I dare do...
1:08:38 > 1:08:40Yes.
1:08:40 > 1:08:43It is a bit sudden. I'll explain later.
1:08:43 > 1:08:48- When we go in, could you look as if you love me?- I'll try.
1:08:52 > 1:08:57- Come you in. - Mrs Dooley, this is Anne.
1:08:59 > 1:09:02Ah, charming. Perfectly charming.
1:09:02 > 1:09:05Come and sit near me, me child.
1:09:06 > 1:09:11Don't mind Josephine. There's no harm in her at all. Sit down.
1:09:11 > 1:09:16Kathie, come and take Josephine to her bed.
1:09:16 > 1:09:20- Come on.- There's a good girl. Go with Kathie to your bed.
1:09:22 > 1:09:26Well, now, so you intend to marry this young man?
1:09:26 > 1:09:29- Yes, ma'am.- When?- Well, as soon...
1:09:29 > 1:09:32- Shh. When, my dear? - As soon as possible.
1:09:32 > 1:09:38You could do far worse. He and I had a lovely night together.
1:09:38 > 1:09:43- Where are you going to live? - We haven't decided. Have we, Norman?
1:09:43 > 1:09:48Not exactly, but we'll find somewhere. Won't we, sweetheart?
1:09:48 > 1:09:52- Yes, darling. - It's all one when you're in love.
1:09:52 > 1:09:56Igloo or hut, castle or cottage, I've tried them all.
1:09:56 > 1:10:02- Really?- Mm-hm. So you want to give her me horse?- Yes, please.
1:10:04 > 1:10:09All right. This assigns the dear, faithful creature over to you.
1:10:09 > 1:10:12Thank you! Come on, Anne.
1:10:17 > 1:10:24- It's no use, Mrs Dooley. I can't lie. I want Old Casper because of a bet.- A bet?
1:10:24 > 1:10:29I want to make enough money to buy Anne a pendant. She's so wonderful.
1:10:29 > 1:10:35- Oh, Norman. - And I can't stop the bet now. That's why I must have Old Casper.
1:10:35 > 1:10:39..I've come to a decision.
1:10:39 > 1:10:43- Yes, ma'am. - I'm afraid I can't sell Old Casper.
1:10:46 > 1:10:48I couldn't expect any different.
1:10:48 > 1:10:53I'm going to GIVE him to you, as a wedding present.
1:10:54 > 1:10:58- Oh, Mrs Dooley! - Thank you, Mrs Dooley!
1:10:58 > 1:11:03Now you'll want to see his swan song at Goodwood.
1:11:03 > 1:11:09- His what?- His last race.- Oh, yes! Thank you. Bye!- Off you go.
1:11:11 > 1:11:14Ah-ha! The young.
1:11:14 > 1:11:17May God bless them.
1:11:18 > 1:11:22Reckless...foolish...mad!
1:11:22 > 1:11:24Crazy.
1:11:28 > 1:11:30Adorable.
1:11:33 > 1:11:36Wait for us!
1:11:37 > 1:11:39Oh!
1:11:39 > 1:11:45- What's the matter?- I haven't got a pass. He knows me.- Leave it to me.
1:11:45 > 1:11:47It was rather a gay evening...
1:11:47 > 1:11:52Excuse me. That man's following me. I want him arrested.
1:11:52 > 1:11:55Oh, yes. I know him.
1:11:55 > 1:11:58Will you be a witness? To what?
1:11:58 > 1:12:04That he's been following me! But I haven't witnessed him.
1:12:04 > 1:12:07You can witness him now. What?
1:12:07 > 1:12:09Watch.
1:12:24 > 1:12:26Hey, come back here!
1:12:29 > 1:12:34- There!- Where can I find Old Casper's trainer?
1:12:34 > 1:12:38- Old Casper? That's Ritchie. He's over there.- Mr Ritchie!
1:12:38 > 1:12:43- Are you Mrs Dooley's trainer? - Yes.- Old Casper's mine. I want him scratched.
1:12:43 > 1:12:49- What?- I bought Old Casper off Mrs Dooley. I want him scrapped at once.
1:12:49 > 1:12:55- It can't be done.- What?! - You can't scratch a horse once it's been declared.- Declared?!
1:12:55 > 1:13:00- Confirmed as a runner. - Look, I tell you he's not running!
1:13:00 > 1:13:04Shouting won't help. Let's go and see the stewards.
1:13:05 > 1:13:08Yes, we understand...perfectly.
1:13:08 > 1:13:13You purchased this horse overnight and you wish to scratch him.
1:13:13 > 1:13:19- That's what I've been trying to tell you!- But he's fit to run.
1:13:19 > 1:13:27Jockey Club rules stipulate that horses must be scratched three quarters of an hour before the race.
1:13:27 > 1:13:33- He'll have to go to the post.- It's my horse. Nobody can MAKE him run.
1:13:33 > 1:13:38You can't do a thing. We'll see about that. ..Come on.
1:13:39 > 1:13:44It's no use. Eddie Diamond's riding Old Casper in the handicap.
1:13:44 > 1:13:48- Ah, but is he? That's the point. - Who's gonna stop him?
1:13:48 > 1:13:54- You are. He works for you. Well, sack him.- That's it! You've got it!
1:13:57 > 1:14:00Hey, you can't go in there!
1:14:00 > 1:14:04- I want to speak to my jockey. - Who's that?- Eddie Diamond.
1:14:04 > 1:14:10- He's not here.- Where is he?- Sweating off weight at the Turkish baths.
1:14:12 > 1:14:15Mr Diamond! Mr Diamond!
1:14:15 > 1:14:18There you are! The horse is not running.
1:14:18 > 1:14:22It's not running. I'm the boss now.
1:14:22 > 1:14:25You can get dressed and go home.
1:14:25 > 1:14:27More steam! ..Over!
1:14:27 > 1:14:31Look, the horse is not going to run. Mr Diamond...!
1:14:31 > 1:14:36You're wasting your time, Mr Diamond. It's no use.
1:14:36 > 1:14:40Just collect your cards and I'll pay you tomorrow...
1:14:40 > 1:14:45- Oh! It's no use trying to get away. - Where's the sweat box?
1:14:45 > 1:14:49I don't even know what a sweat box is!
1:14:49 > 1:14:53Oh, no, pack it up! Put me down! Let me out!
1:14:53 > 1:14:56All right? Thanks.
1:14:56 > 1:14:59- Are you all right, sir?- Let me out.
1:14:59 > 1:15:03- It's good for you. - No, it's too hot. Much too hot.
1:15:03 > 1:15:09- Too hot? Soon fix that. Stand by for the cold.- Don't put the cold on.
1:15:09 > 1:15:11Don't! Ah!
1:15:17 > 1:15:19Oh, it's f-freezing!
1:15:31 > 1:15:34I've gotta get out! Let me out!
1:15:34 > 1:15:36I think you've had about enough.
1:15:38 > 1:15:41You've got your clothes on!
1:15:41 > 1:15:47- I came in to find Eddie Diamond. - He's halfway up the course by now.
1:15:47 > 1:15:49Oh, no! I've gotta stop him.

1:16:53 > 1:16:57- Come in, jockeys.- Stop the race! Don't touch that handle!
1:16:57 > 1:17:02- Don't start it! - Will you get off the course?!
1:17:02 > 1:17:04- Stop the race!- Steady.
1:17:08 > 1:17:13- Where are you going? Let me down! - Norman!- What are you doing?!
1:17:17 > 1:17:22- I'll have you horsewhipped! - Stop! Old Casper, come back!
1:17:28 > 1:17:31- Get off there at once!- No, stop!
1:17:32 > 1:17:34Norman, are you all right?
1:17:34 > 1:17:38- What happened to Old Casper? - He was last!
1:17:38 > 1:17:43- Oh, now I'm broke.- Never mind, Norman. Money isn't everything.
