0:01:54 > 0:01:58'North west of Scotland, on the broad expanse of the Atlantic

0:01:58 > 0:02:02'lie the lovely islands of the Outer Hebrides -

0:02:02 > 0:02:07'small patches of sand and rock rising out of the ocean.

0:02:11 > 0:02:14'To the west there is nothing... except America.

0:02:21 > 0:02:27'The inhabitants scrape a frugal living from the sea,

0:02:27 > 0:02:30'and the low-lying hills of coarse grass

0:02:30 > 0:02:33'and peat bog.

0:02:42 > 0:02:47'A happy people, with few and simple pleasures.

0:03:01 > 0:03:06'The little island of Todday is a completely isolated community

0:03:06 > 0:03:08'a hundred miles from the mainland,

0:03:08 > 0:03:12'and from any cinema or dancehall.

0:03:12 > 0:03:17'Oh, but the islanders know how to enjoy themselves.

0:03:17 > 0:03:19'They have all that they need.'

0:03:19 > 0:03:22Slainte mhath.

0:03:26 > 0:03:32'But in 1943, disaster overwhelmed this little island.

0:03:32 > 0:03:35'Not famine, nor pestilence,

0:03:35 > 0:03:39'nor Hitler's bombs, nor an invading army

0:03:39 > 0:03:42'but something far...

0:03:42 > 0:03:46'FAR worse.'

0:03:46 > 0:03:48There is no whisky!

0:04:00 > 0:04:04'Whisky - uisge-beatha.

0:04:04 > 0:04:07'In Gaelic "the water of life."

0:04:07 > 0:04:10'And, to a TRUE islander,

0:04:10 > 0:04:14'life without it is not worth living.

0:04:42 > 0:04:48'From that day, every man went into mourning.

0:04:48 > 0:04:51'Mourning for a departed spirit...'

0:04:52 > 0:04:56He went terrible quick at the end.

0:04:56 > 0:04:59What was I to do?

0:04:59 > 0:05:03With every bottle in the bar chock full of nothing.

0:05:03 > 0:05:05ALL: Aye.

0:05:05 > 0:05:10Will Winston Churchill be knowing the Government has run out of whisky?

0:05:10 > 0:05:12I don't believe he will.

0:05:12 > 0:05:16It is a pity he won't be saying something about it on the wireless.

0:05:16 > 0:05:19Aye, it's a terrible war.

0:05:19 > 0:05:23Do you remember the Sabbath the war started?

0:05:23 > 0:05:28Nobody on the island could mind such a storm of rain.

0:05:28 > 0:05:30It was a sign.

0:05:33 > 0:05:35A sign of what was coming to us...

0:05:35 > 0:05:37Water...

0:05:37 > 0:05:40Just nothing but water.

0:05:42 > 0:05:45Ah, well, I must be going.

0:05:45 > 0:05:49ALL: Good night.

0:05:49 > 0:05:52Good night, Mr Macroon.

0:05:52 > 0:05:57I could have done with a dram. I've had a terrible shock.

0:05:57 > 0:06:01- What was that? - Ask George here.

0:06:04 > 0:06:07What have you been doing to Joseph?

0:06:07 > 0:06:11I...I asked Catriona to marry me.

0:06:11 > 0:06:13< What did she say?

0:06:13 > 0:06:16She said yes.

0:06:25 > 0:06:28Got the mails ready?

0:06:28 > 0:06:30Yes, father.

0:06:30 > 0:06:34Sticklips and cigarettes!

0:06:34 > 0:06:37Your mother would have had more sense.

0:06:37 > 0:06:41You'll not have to worry about me much longer.

0:06:41 > 0:06:44You're not married yet.

0:06:44 > 0:06:48- Are you not going to the pier?- Why would I?

0:06:48 > 0:06:54- I thought your sergeant arrives today.- MY sergeant? I don't know what you mean.

0:07:01 > 0:07:06There! The tightest little island in the world.

0:07:06 > 0:07:11You'll be finding a few changes, Sergeant. You've been away from us for some time.

0:07:11 > 0:07:132 years, 3 months.

0:07:13 > 0:07:16Well, well, is it that long? In Africa, eh?

0:07:16 > 0:07:19- That's right.- Africa.

0:07:19 > 0:07:22That is a place I have never been.

0:07:22 > 0:07:25- Ah, they'll be glad to see you back. - D'you think so?

0:07:25 > 0:07:31- Aye, the Home Guard amusements are not the same without you.- Them!

0:07:31 > 0:07:37- I hear they've become a bit stale. - Ech! That's Captain Waggett's nonsense.

0:07:37 > 0:07:43Surely it's up to you, Constable, the long arm of the law?

0:07:43 > 0:07:48You must INSIST Cpt MacKechnie takes the ammunition back. Doesn't he know there's a war on?

0:07:48 > 0:07:52He says it is a Board of Trade regulation.

0:07:54 > 0:07:56Dolly!

0:07:56 > 0:08:02- What time is this cargo boat expected?- Not at all, Mr Waggett!

0:08:02 > 0:08:07- Yes, dear?- I have to go to the pier. - Is anything the matter, Paul?

0:08:07 > 0:08:11Cpt MacKechnie refuses to take the ammunition back with the mails on board.

0:08:11 > 0:08:15- But he always has the mails on board. - Exactly.

0:08:53 > 0:08:57THEY SIGH

0:08:57 > 0:09:00I was not really expecting anything.

0:09:00 > 0:09:03I just came down, in case...

0:09:03 > 0:09:09- I'll get back to my boat, Joseph. You will be waiting for the mails. - Aye.

0:09:09 > 0:09:13Just a lot of letters for nothing.

0:09:16 > 0:09:18Hi!

0:09:18 > 0:09:23- How's yourself, Mr Macroon? - None too well, Sergeant.

0:09:23 > 0:09:29- Nothing wrong with the family, Peggy and Catriona? - What would be wrong?

0:09:29 > 0:09:35- They're fine. Both of them smoking away like chimneys.- That's good.

0:09:35 > 0:09:38One of them thinks she's going to marry.

0:09:38 > 0:09:42- Peggy?- I believe it will be.

0:09:42 > 0:09:45What are you saying, Joseph?

0:09:45 > 0:09:48'Tis Catriona is going to marry George.

0:09:48 > 0:09:53- Aye, maybe.- That's great news! Something like, that is.

0:09:53 > 0:09:59I'm after telling you, Mr Waggett, I cannot accept explosives on this ship!

0:09:59 > 0:10:03It is my duty to see I am in a state of full defence.

0:10:03 > 0:10:08- How can I if my cartridges do NOT fit my rifles?- That's a bit awkward.

0:10:08 > 0:10:12It's more than awkward! This kind of thing led to the fall of France.

0:10:12 > 0:10:15A rule is a rule, a regulation is a regulation.

0:10:15 > 0:10:22- The ammunition ARRIVED on the Island Queen.- But Cpt MacKechnie did not know they was explosives.

0:10:22 > 0:10:25If I had, I would never have brought them.

0:10:25 > 0:10:32I cannot get any 300 ammunition from Ordinance until this 303 gets back! I had a wire to say so.

0:10:32 > 0:10:38- Yes? Oh, welcome back, Sergeant. - Can I be of any help, sir?- No.

0:10:38 > 0:10:43Why not return the .300 rifles and keep the .303 ammunition?

0:10:43 > 0:10:46They can send the .303 rifles...

0:10:46 > 0:10:51- I'd rather have rifles and no ammunition than ammunition and no rifles.- Sir?

0:10:51 > 0:10:55- Can I suggest...?- What? - Why not leave it at Macroon's shop?

0:10:55 > 0:11:00- Then query it with Headquarters. - Yes. But not without a guard.

0:11:12 > 0:11:15Now, er...finish your compositions.

0:11:15 > 0:11:18And don't make too much noise.

0:11:27 > 0:11:31Is-Is anything the matter, Mother?

0:11:31 > 0:11:36To think that I should be hearing from others that my own SON is to be married.

0:11:36 > 0:11:38George Campbell, is this true?

0:11:38 > 0:11:42I-I only knew myself yesterday evening that...

0:11:42 > 0:11:47- You mean you'd not been thinking of that girl till then?- W-Well, I was thinking about her, yes...

0:11:47 > 0:11:51Then WHY was I kept in the dark?

0:11:51 > 0:11:55When I got back you were in bed...

0:11:55 > 0:12:02- The bed I have made for myself, on which I must lie. This comes of spoiling you.- Spoiling me?!

0:12:02 > 0:12:07- Spare the rod...- (You never did.) - ..and spoil the child.

0:12:07 > 0:12:10I didn't want to upset you...

0:12:10 > 0:12:14You KNEW it would upset me, but you think only of yourself!

0:12:14 > 0:12:20You've always thought only of yourself. How many times as a child did I catch you in the blackcurrants

0:12:20 > 0:12:25when you knew I wanted all the blackcurrants for my own jam?

0:12:25 > 0:12:30Mother, if I bring Catriona to tea, will you be nice to her?

0:12:30 > 0:12:34The day you bring Catriona Macroon into this house, I walk out!

0:12:34 > 0:12:38I'll go to your Aunt Ida in Glasgow.

0:12:38 > 0:12:41- But you hate Glasgow.- What if I do?

0:12:41 > 0:12:49The Lord chastiseth them that he loveth. Who am I to set myself up against the Lord?

0:12:51 > 0:12:58PUPIL: ..they are not so nice as the people on Garryboo. They are stuck up.

0:12:58 > 0:13:03The Island Queen is a beautiful boat,

0:13:03 > 0:13:05but there was no whisky this week.

0:13:05 > 0:13:09And when there is no whisky we are all very sad.

0:13:13 > 0:13:16Come on, get a move on.

0:13:18 > 0:13:24Every time they move the roadblock it takes longer. Why is that?

0:13:24 > 0:13:28It IS pretty heavy going, you know, sir.

0:13:28 > 0:13:32- All right, Sergeant, again. - Once again, men! Move!

0:13:34 > 0:13:38- It's very discouraging.- Yes, sir.

0:13:38 > 0:13:41- Just one point, sir.- What's that?

0:13:41 > 0:13:43If this is the only road on the island,

0:13:43 > 0:13:49all Jerry will need to do is turn around and go the other way.

0:13:52 > 0:13:57Yes. I wondered when you'd think of that.

0:13:57 > 0:14:00You should have thought of that, Mr Campbell!

0:14:00 > 0:14:03It's easy to put right with a couple more roadblocks.

0:14:03 > 0:14:06- Put that in hand.- Yes, sir.

0:14:11 > 0:14:18They've become appallingly slack. When there was a chance of invasion they were keen enough.

0:14:18 > 0:14:22Now the immediate danger has gone, their keenness has gone too.

0:14:22 > 0:14:24Well, it's understandable, sir.

0:14:24 > 0:14:28They don't do things for the sake of doing them, like the English.

0:14:28 > 0:14:32WE play the game for the sake of the game. Other nations play the game for the sake of winning it.

0:14:32 > 0:14:36I tried to introduce football on to the island.

0:14:36 > 0:14:42I managed to get hold of a football and presented it to the school. I was the referee.

0:14:42 > 0:14:48I had to give a foul against the Garryboo team - for a deliberate assault.

0:14:48 > 0:14:52- What do you think happened? - I don't know, sir.

0:14:52 > 0:14:57Willie MacLennan deliberately dribbled the ball to the touchline

0:14:57 > 0:15:01and kicked it into the sea.

0:15:01 > 0:15:03HORN BEEPS

0:15:04 > 0:15:07What on earth's this nonsense!?

0:15:07 > 0:15:10- It is a roadblock, Doctor. - Well, let me through.

0:15:10 > 0:15:16- We cannot. Waggett says you are a German tank. - What are you playing at?

0:15:16 > 0:15:21- Playing? I'm not playing at anything.- Then what's all this?

0:15:21 > 0:15:24It's a Home Guard exercise.

0:15:24 > 0:15:32- I've been up all night delivering twins. I want to get home. Let me through!- Twins?

0:15:32 > 0:15:37- Yes, two girls it was. - Och, the poor soul. Two girls.

0:15:37 > 0:15:41What a calamity! And himself away at sea.

0:15:41 > 0:15:48Doctor Maclaren, I am responsible for the defence of this island and I find your attitude obstructive.

0:15:48 > 0:15:52Obstructive!? Did I build this roadblock?

0:15:52 > 0:15:54It...

0:15:54 > 0:15:56Open the roadblock, Sergeant.

0:15:56 > 0:16:01Right, men. Once again... Move!

0:16:01 > 0:16:04Come on, come on. Get a move on.

0:16:04 > 0:16:06Soldiers!

0:16:16 > 0:16:22- It's a pity you cannot be staying longer.- Do you think it's a pity?

0:16:22 > 0:16:23They ALL think it's a pity.

0:16:23 > 0:16:28Bit of luck being sent here. I was getting desperate.

0:16:28 > 0:16:34I didn't think I'd see you until after the war.

0:16:34 > 0:16:39I don't understand what you say. A pity you haven't the Gaelic.

0:16:39 > 0:16:43It's plain enough what I'm saying, in any language.

0:16:43 > 0:16:46Will you marry me, Peggy?

0:16:46 > 0:16:50- What a thing to be asking, Sergeant Odd.- Why not call me Fred?

0:16:50 > 0:16:55People would be thinking me terribly ignorant to be calling you Fred.

0:16:55 > 0:16:57You're so old.

0:17:00 > 0:17:02I'm only 16 years older than you.

0:17:02 > 0:17:0317.

0:17:03 > 0:17:09So you've got it all worked out like a sum, eh?

0:17:09 > 0:17:11I ought to be pleased you bothered.

0:17:11 > 0:17:17- How many girls have you asked to marry you?- I've never asked any.

0:17:17 > 0:17:21- I made a point of not asking them. - Just made love to them?

0:17:21 > 0:17:24Which you can't say I've done to you.

0:17:25 > 0:17:27Will you marry me?

0:17:27 > 0:17:30- Och! It is a foolishness. - Anybody else?

0:17:30 > 0:17:34- Anybody else where?- Anybody else wants to marry you?

0:17:34 > 0:17:38If you want to be cheeky you must be cheeky in the Gaelic.

0:17:38 > 0:17:41If I said it in Gaelic, you'd give me an answer?

0:17:41 > 0:17:44Perhaps I would. But you cannot be saying it, can you?

0:17:44 > 0:17:46Ah girl...

0:17:46 > 0:17:50ackem orst...am poser me!

0:17:50 > 0:17:56Learning the Gaelic just to take the eyes out of me. How deceitful!

0:17:56 > 0:17:57Well, what about it?

0:18:03 > 0:18:05SHE GIGGLES

0:18:24 > 0:18:27If I'm not good enough to come to tea, I'm not good enough to marry you.

0:18:27 > 0:18:31I'll not be taking you from your mother's apron. She doesn't know you're weaned!

0:18:31 > 0:18:36It was a shock to her. She'd be the same about any girl.

0:18:36 > 0:18:39If I'm just ANY girl to you, you'll be just any man to me!

0:18:39 > 0:18:47- Let me explain...- Your mother may treat you like a baby, but you'll not be treating ME like one!

0:18:50 > 0:18:53SHIP'S FOGHORN

0:18:53 > 0:19:00FOGHORN CONTINUES Do you hear that, Doctor?

0:19:00 > 0:19:04Aye. It will be a ship out in the minch.

0:19:04 > 0:19:07I heard it as I came up the road.

0:19:07 > 0:19:10And how are you feeling today?

0:19:10 > 0:19:14Och, I'm not feeling... anything at all.

0:19:14 > 0:19:17Just bones...that's all.

0:19:17 > 0:19:19- I've brought some tobacco. - Thank you.

0:19:19 > 0:19:24But my pipe has fell to pieces.

0:19:24 > 0:19:27And not a pipe to be bought.

0:19:27 > 0:19:32John MacCleod says he doesn't know when he'll be having another one.

0:19:34 > 0:19:41Och, I don't believe the world has been in such a terrible mess since the Flood.

0:19:41 > 0:19:48We can't have you giving up smoking too. Here's a pipe of mine.

0:19:48 > 0:19:55I couldn't be...robbing you of your own pipe, Doctor. You're too kind altogether.

0:19:55 > 0:19:58Doctor's orders. I've another one. >

0:20:00 > 0:20:03Ah, well, it is yourself that is the doctor right enough.

0:20:03 > 0:20:08I only wish I had a dram for you. >

0:20:08 > 0:20:15Aye...I would like fine to have one really good dram...

0:20:15 > 0:20:17before I join the old woman.

0:20:17 > 0:20:21Isht, man. You've many years to live.

0:20:21 > 0:20:27Ahh...I know better, Doctor.

0:20:27 > 0:20:31But I mean no disrespect to you by that.

0:20:31 > 0:20:38I'm looking at life just as I'm looking at my croft just now...

0:20:38 > 0:20:41and seeing the fog coming creeping in from the sea

0:20:41 > 0:20:47and covering it up, turning it into just nothing at all.

0:20:50 > 0:20:54SHIP'S FOGHORN

0:20:58 > 0:21:00It may clear, there is no telling.

0:21:00 > 0:21:02Not before midnight, I'm thinking.

0:21:02 > 0:21:07Aye. It is the Sabbath tomorrow. We'll be here till Monday.

0:21:07 > 0:21:11SHIP'S FOGHORN BLARES

0:21:21 > 0:21:24FOGHORN BLARES

0:21:26 > 0:21:29- Isn't that the bell on the Skerrydoo? - I don't hear a bell.

0:21:31 > 0:21:34We must look out we don't get too near the islands.

0:21:34 > 0:21:37I'm not going to put my ship on the Skerrydoo. We're nowhere near...

0:21:37 > 0:21:40CRASH!

0:21:43 > 0:21:48CREAKING, SHOUTING

0:21:48 > 0:21:52I'll be sleeping on broken glass for a week...

0:21:52 > 0:21:56Shhh... Listen. She's stopped.

0:21:58 > 0:22:01That is queer, right enough.

0:22:01 > 0:22:04COUGHING

0:22:04 > 0:22:08- Is that you, Joseph?- I've just been through to the coastguard hut.

0:22:08 > 0:22:11They caught a glimpse of her a few hours ago.

0:22:11 > 0:22:17- What size of a ship was she? - 4,000 ton.

0:22:19 > 0:22:22I have a mind to go out to her.

0:22:22 > 0:22:27- She will be needing a pilot. - Can I come with you, Biffer?- Aye.

0:22:28 > 0:22:34- Is that wise?- Biffer knows every rock in Todday by name.

0:22:34 > 0:22:38It will be the feather in his cap if he puts them back on course.

0:22:38 > 0:22:41And in his pocket!

0:22:47 > 0:22:49< Ahoy!

0:22:49 > 0:22:51AHO-O-OY !

0:22:51 > 0:22:56Ahoy there! What island is this?

0:22:56 > 0:22:58- The island of Todday.- Where's that?

0:22:58 > 0:23:02Och, they're ignorant, right enough.

0:23:02 > 0:23:06- What is your ship? - < SS Cabinet Minister.

0:23:06 > 0:23:10She's a wreck. Can you lead us in?

0:23:10 > 0:23:12I'll show you the way.

0:23:20 > 0:23:23What was your cargo?

0:23:24 > 0:23:2750,000 cases of whisky.

0:23:36 > 0:23:3850,000 cases of...

0:23:44 > 0:23:45MUSIC OVER SPEECH

0:24:28 > 0:24:32- The crew's come ashore.- They want to go to the mainland tonight.

0:24:32 > 0:24:35Tonight? We can't be sailing tonight.

0:24:35 > 0:24:40- But we can't go out while they're here.- Can't you see that, Captain?

0:24:40 > 0:24:42Aye. But it's still foggy.

0:24:42 > 0:24:47Donald, we have known each other many years. Will you not take them away?

0:24:47 > 0:24:51- If you fail us now, you'll not have a friend in Todday. - The ship might sink.

0:24:51 > 0:24:53With all that whisky!

0:24:53 > 0:24:57Tell them to go aboard. We'll sail in half an hour.

0:24:57 > 0:24:59Good man, Donald.

0:25:00 > 0:25:02FOGHORN BLARES

0:25:19 > 0:25:21CHURCH CLOCK STRIKES

0:25:21 > 0:25:25- Twelve o'clock already. She may have gone down by now.- Aye!

0:25:27 > 0:25:31- Twelve o'clock!- What of it?

0:25:31 > 0:25:34It's the morning of the Sabbath.

0:25:34 > 0:25:36The Sabbath.

0:25:36 > 0:25:39The Sabbath. The Sabbath!

0:25:39 > 0:25:40It's the Sabbath.

0:25:47 > 0:25:50The Sabbath.

0:26:04 > 0:26:06Well, what's the matter?

0:26:08 > 0:26:12It is the Sabbath. We could not be breaking the Sabbath.

0:26:14 > 0:26:18Well, stone the crows.

0:26:34 > 0:26:3850,000 cases of whisky...

0:26:42 > 0:26:48Ah well... We had better be getting to church.

0:27:03 > 0:27:07- Extraordinary. Quite extraordinary. - Is it, dear?

0:27:07 > 0:27:12- The crew's deserted the ship. The salvage people won't touch it. - Why, dear?

0:27:12 > 0:27:15Too risky, if you please!

0:27:15 > 0:27:19- Meanwhile, she's lying there unguarded.- Should it be guarded?

0:27:19 > 0:27:24She has a very valuable cargo on board. Anything might happen. You can't trust these people.

0:27:24 > 0:27:28- It's Sunday, Paul. No-one on Todday would break the Sabbath.- I know.

0:27:28 > 0:27:30But the Sabbath ENDS at midnight.

0:27:30 > 0:27:34No, Dolly. Only one thing for it.

0:27:38 > 0:27:41The Home Guard must accept the responsibility.

0:27:46 > 0:27:47Hello?

0:27:47 > 0:27:48Hello.

0:27:48 > 0:27:51Joseph Macroon's girls are impossible!

0:27:51 > 0:27:56- Paul...- Darling, I'm TRYING to telephone.

0:27:57 > 0:28:02Would it be so terrible if the people got a few bottles?

0:28:02 > 0:28:05I mean, if it's all going down to the bottom of the sea...

0:28:05 > 0:28:12That's a very dangerous line of argument. People taking the law into their own hands - it's anarchy.

0:28:12 > 0:28:14Yes, Paul.

0:28:14 > 0:28:16Anarchy!

0:28:16 > 0:28:19- 'Who is that?'- Oh!

0:28:19 > 0:28:23Oh, it's YOU, Mr Waggett.

0:28:23 > 0:28:26No, you CANNOT speak to George.

0:28:26 > 0:28:31The telephone was not given to man for him to mock the Sabbath with it.

0:28:31 > 0:28:36- But it might have been important. - It can keep till the morning.

0:28:36 > 0:28:41I do not approve of the use of that instrument on this day.

0:28:41 > 0:28:43Mother, we must move with the times.

0:28:43 > 0:28:51- What times will there be to MOVE with in eternity? - You're being ridiculous.

0:28:51 > 0:28:54- Don't you "ridiculous" me!- Mother...

0:28:54 > 0:28:59Go to your room, George Campbell. There'll be no church for you today!

0:29:13 > 0:29:18That was a terrible long sermon the minister gave us.

0:29:18 > 0:29:24Aye, and all about the Flood. I was nearly walking out to see if she was still afloat.

0:29:24 > 0:29:29Ah, Joseph, the Sabbath's a long, long day, right enough.

0:29:50 > 0:29:51Yes, Mr Waggett?

0:29:51 > 0:29:55- CAPTAIN Waggett. I want to speak to George.- He is in his bedroom.

0:29:55 > 0:30:01- Not ill?- He is locked in there with his Bible and some bread and cheese

0:30:01 > 0:30:04and will not be let out till tomorrow morning.

0:30:04 > 0:30:08- Preposterous!- Have you heard of the fourth commandment? - Of course I have!

0:30:08 > 0:30:13- "Remember..." - You needn't repeat it. I learned the commandments years ago.

0:30:13 > 0:30:17Yet you lead my son away from righteousness.

0:30:17 > 0:30:23Mrs Campbell, right now our troops are fighting in North Africa.

0:30:23 > 0:30:26The Germans don't stop fighting on Sunday.

0:30:26 > 0:30:29What the Germans do is on their own conscience.

0:30:29 > 0:30:34And Todday is NOT in North Africa so you needn't bring the heathens into it!

0:30:34 > 0:30:41I have been told there are cannibals in Africa, but no-one will make my son eat human flesh.

0:30:41 > 0:30:45- No-one's asking him to eat human flesh.- Not yet.

0:30:45 > 0:30:48I INSIST on speaking to him.

0:30:48 > 0:30:52You can go down on your knees and I'll not let you.

0:30:52 > 0:30:54I shall certainly not do that!

0:30:54 > 0:30:56Pah!

0:31:08 > 0:31:12- Headquarters don't realise what I'm up against.- No, dear.

0:31:12 > 0:31:15What would my Colonel say if he knew my second-in-command

0:31:15 > 0:31:17had been locked in his bedroom by his mother?

0:31:33 > 0:31:35Hello, Sergeant.

0:31:35 > 0:31:41- Mr Macroon, I haven't had a chance to have a word with you.- No, no...

0:31:41 > 0:31:43- It's about Peggy and me.- Aye...

0:31:43 > 0:31:47- We want to get married.- Och, well.

0:31:47 > 0:31:51Aye. Aye. Well...

0:31:51 > 0:31:55I'm hoping you're going to say yes. So we can fix a date.

0:31:55 > 0:32:00Marriage is serious. We better be talking about it in the morning.

0:32:00 > 0:32:06I know it's a bit sudden, after me only being here a couple of days.

0:32:06 > 0:32:12It's late, Sergeant, and it's a big subject to be talking about tonight.

0:32:12 > 0:32:13KNOCK ON DOOR

0:32:13 > 0:32:16Who can that be?

0:32:21 > 0:32:25- Oh, good evening. I'm sorry to break in on you...- Not at all, Mr Waggett.

0:32:25 > 0:32:28Come in. You're welcome.

0:32:28 > 0:32:30- Good evening, Sergeant.- Sir.

0:32:30 > 0:32:36- I wish I could offer you a dram. I've only lemonade.- Very kind. Sergeant, it was you I came to see.

0:32:36 > 0:32:38- Lemonade?- Yes, thank you.

0:32:38 > 0:32:42It's a bit of an emergency, Sergeant.

0:32:42 > 0:32:44- Perhaps we could have a few words. - Certainly.

0:32:44 > 0:32:49- Thank you.- You won't be taking lemonade?- No...- No, well.

0:32:49 > 0:32:54- Well, slainge...you know. - Aye, you've got the Gaelic fine.

0:32:54 > 0:32:57I'll be leaving you to business.

0:33:00 > 0:33:05This wreck is a heavy responsibility for me.

0:33:05 > 0:33:10For you, sir? I don't see how it affects the Home Guard.

0:33:10 > 0:33:13The wreck's right outside our beat.

0:33:13 > 0:33:17- The cargo might be tampered with. - I wouldn't be surprised.

0:33:17 > 0:33:22- That's robbing the Revenue. - I suppose it is, sir.

0:33:22 > 0:33:29- But I don't think the Colonel will thank you for interfering. - It's my duty to stop...looting.

0:33:29 > 0:33:32I don't believe anyone can stop them.

0:33:32 > 0:33:35You mean I can't trust my men?

0:33:35 > 0:33:40I wouldn't trust a brigade of guards to look after that ship!

0:33:40 > 0:33:44- Exactly! So it's up to you and me. - You and me, sir?

0:33:44 > 0:33:47Unfortunately, Mr Campbell is not available.

0:33:47 > 0:33:54I intend to mount guard on that wreck. You will take the midnight watch.

0:33:54 > 0:33:59- Very good, sir. - Those are my orders.- Sir.

0:34:02 > 0:34:04Good night, Mr Macroon.

0:34:04 > 0:34:06Good night, Mr Waggett.

0:34:11 > 0:34:13Well, that's torn it.

0:34:17 > 0:34:20HE TURNS RADIO ON

0:34:23 > 0:34:28- Did you ever hear tell of a reiteach, Sergeant?- A what?

0:34:28 > 0:34:31It's an old custom in the Highlands.

0:34:31 > 0:34:37When a man wants to marry he must ask the girl's father for a reiteach.

0:34:37 > 0:34:39Everybody comes.

0:34:39 > 0:34:46- You mean we ought to have one? - Aye. And you'll always have a 7-gallon jar of...whisky.

0:34:52 > 0:34:55Now look here, this is blackmail.

0:34:55 > 0:35:03You can't have a wedding without a reiteach, nor a reiteach without the whisky.

0:35:15 > 0:35:20But if you DO catch anyone, what will you do?

0:35:20 > 0:35:24Catch any of them? I don't think anything will happen.

0:35:24 > 0:35:29Once they know there's a guard... they won't try anything.

0:36:11 > 0:36:14CLOCK STRIKES MIDNIGHT

0:36:34 > 0:36:37- You know what to do?- Aye.

0:36:37 > 0:36:41Have you not got it wound up yet?

0:36:41 > 0:36:43- Are the boats ready?- Aye.

0:36:43 > 0:36:46Take them round to Seal Bay and wait behind the headland.

0:36:46 > 0:36:50Biffer will give us the all-clear signal from the cliff top.

0:37:00 > 0:37:03I don't like it at all, at all.

0:37:03 > 0:37:08- The sergeant's as nice a fellow as anyone could meet.- Aye.

0:37:08 > 0:37:14- Remember how he taught us to creep up behind your enemy.- The Panther crawl.

0:37:14 > 0:37:20- He's no enemy of ours! - Any man who stands between us and the whisky is an enemy.

0:37:23 > 0:37:27- Angus, take him round the feet. - I'll do that.

0:37:27 > 0:37:32- You take him round the neck, Biffer, while I pin his arms. - Och, the poor soul.

0:37:32 > 0:37:34Are you ready?

0:37:37 > 0:37:44- I might hurt him round the neck. I'll take his arms.- No. You will be letting go of him out of sympathy.

0:37:46 > 0:37:49- Now!- The Panther Crawl.

0:37:59 > 0:38:01Come on!

0:38:03 > 0:38:05What's all this!?

0:38:05 > 0:38:12- Och, you gave us a surprise. We meant to come up behind you. - It was us who meant to surprise YOU.

0:38:12 > 0:38:15We were never going to hurt you.

0:38:15 > 0:38:22Coming up behind me, eh? Lovely commandoes you'd make(!) Noisy as a couple of tanks.

0:38:22 > 0:38:24We were doing the Panther Crawl, the way you showed us.

0:38:24 > 0:38:31Not like that! On your toes, move on your toes, light and quiet.

0:38:31 > 0:38:32Try again.

0:38:32 > 0:38:36Och, no, we really didn't want to.

0:38:36 > 0:38:40- You are too rough.- Do it properly and I can't hurt you.

0:38:40 > 0:38:41Come on, try again.

0:38:49 > 0:38:51Take a firm grip.

0:38:51 > 0:38:53Tighter!

0:38:53 > 0:38:56See. Got me helpless.

0:39:08 > 0:39:11He-e-ey!

0:39:27 > 0:39:29Wait! Let's get George.

0:39:29 > 0:39:31There's no time!

0:39:31 > 0:39:32I'll not be a minute.

0:39:38 > 0:39:42RATTLING AT WINDOW

0:39:54 > 0:39:56(George, are you coming?)

0:39:56 > 0:39:59(Where are you going?)

0:39:59 > 0:40:01- (To the wreck.) - (Oh, I can't.)

0:40:01 > 0:40:03(Why not?)

0:40:23 > 0:40:27Why don't you come down by the stairs?

0:41:26 > 0:41:31Come on, men, get the hatches off! She'll be going down in a minute!

0:41:45 > 0:41:47Come on, George!

0:41:51 > 0:41:54Hurry!

0:42:18 > 0:42:20Oh, well... Scots whahey!

0:42:20 > 0:42:23Scots whahey what, dear?

0:42:23 > 0:42:26Well...it's what they say here.

0:42:26 > 0:42:28You know, like... Like, um...

0:42:28 > 0:42:31"Long may your...something reek."

0:42:36 > 0:42:40- Yes, yes! Hurry up there! - Biffer, get going.

0:42:50 > 0:42:51Biffer!

0:42:54 > 0:42:57George! Biffer!

0:42:58 > 0:43:00Biffer!

0:43:02 > 0:43:03I can't wait!

0:43:08 > 0:43:11< Hurry, she's going down!

0:43:13 > 0:43:15Biffer!

0:43:15 > 0:43:17Biffer!

0:43:32 > 0:43:35SHIP CREAKS

0:43:35 > 0:43:38Biffer! George!

0:43:57 > 0:44:02SHIP CREAKS AND GROANS

0:45:34 > 0:45:37Aye, aye... It is safe enough here.

0:45:37 > 0:45:42We would just be drawing attention to ourselves if we took it further.

0:45:42 > 0:45:48Let each man take what he needs. We'll come back for more later.

0:46:10 > 0:46:12Captain Waggett! Is that you?

0:46:15 > 0:46:20- Sergeant Odd, what are you doing here?- I've been tied up here for the last four hours.

0:46:20 > 0:46:24- This is monstrous! Who did it? - I haven't a clue, sir.

0:46:24 > 0:46:28Just after midnight, they came up behind me, the next thing I knew was...

0:46:28 > 0:46:30I'll find out who did it.

0:46:30 > 0:46:33EXCHANGE BUZZES

0:46:40 > 0:46:43What number would you be wanting, please?

0:46:43 > 0:46:47Oh, it's you, Mr Waggett. Are you keeping well, Mr Waggett?

0:46:47 > 0:46:49Yes, Mr Waggett.

0:46:49 > 0:46:51Top what?

0:46:51 > 0:46:54Top priority?

0:46:55 > 0:46:58I don't think there's anybody of that name on the island.

0:46:58 > 0:47:01Oh, I see, Mr Waggett!

0:47:01 > 0:47:04Obaig, six - six - six.

0:47:04 > 0:47:07Colonel Lindsay-Wolsey.

0:47:07 > 0:47:10He'll be in bed, surely.

0:47:10 > 0:47:13I'll put you through just the same.

0:47:15 > 0:47:21- It was still afloat at midnight. - Yes, sir.- Which means they got the whisky?- Perhaps.

0:47:21 > 0:47:23There's no doubt about it.

0:47:23 > 0:47:24TELEPHONE RINGS

0:47:25 > 0:47:28Colonel Lindsay-Wolsey?

0:47:28 > 0:47:34This is Cpt Waggett, of Todday Home Guard with a serious report...

0:47:34 > 0:47:37'Serious!? Do you know the time?'

0:47:37 > 0:47:42I realise it's very early, but I thought you should know

0:47:42 > 0:47:47that the steamship "Cabinet Minister", Blue Limpet line, was wrecked.

0:47:47 > 0:47:52- 'I'm not an Admiral!' - I know, sir. I didn't suppose that you were.

0:47:52 > 0:47:55But this ship, loaded with whisky, has just gone down.

0:47:55 > 0:48:00- 'Whisky?'- Yes, sir, whisky. - 'Oh, that's different!'

0:48:00 > 0:48:05- I have reason to believe that some of it was removed from the ship. - 'Well done! Get some for me.'

0:48:05 > 0:48:10- To you, sir!?- 'You weren't going to exclude me?'

0:48:10 > 0:48:14Sergeant Odd was on guard. He was brutally assaulted.

0:48:14 > 0:48:16(No, please, darling.)

0:48:16 > 0:48:19- 'Serves him right!' - Serves who right?

0:48:19 > 0:48:22- 'Is the silly fellow there?'- Yes.

0:48:22 > 0:48:25- He's here, sir. - 'Put him on the line.'

0:48:27 > 0:48:30Sergeant, the Colonel wishes to speak to you.

0:48:34 > 0:48:35Sergeant Odd here, sir.

0:48:35 > 0:48:41- 'What has this Waggett fellow been up to? Keep an eye on him.'- Yes, sir.

0:48:41 > 0:48:48I don't understand the military mind. Sometimes I wonder if the professional soldier is human.

0:48:49 > 0:48:51Goodnight, sir.

0:48:53 > 0:48:56- Did he say anything about you being assaulted?- Yes, sir.

0:48:56 > 0:49:01Made a point of it. Said it showed how well I trained them.

0:49:01 > 0:49:03I don't wish to criticise my superior officer,

0:49:03 > 0:49:08I find the Colonel's attitude extraordinary. Quite extraordinary!

0:49:08 > 0:49:11Well, sir, I had suggested he might not like it.

0:49:11 > 0:49:17- Was there anything more?- No, no. You'd better go back and rest.

0:49:17 > 0:49:20Thank you, sir. Goodnight, sir.

0:49:20 > 0:49:21Goodnight, Mrs Waggett.

0:49:30 > 0:49:32Hello. Hello?

0:49:32 > 0:49:36Paul, you're not going to do any more about this whisky?

0:49:36 > 0:49:39Surely you know once I start something, I finish it!

0:49:39 > 0:49:42Snorvig, one - nine. Constable Macrae.

0:49:42 > 0:49:49- Is there anyone you suspect? - I suspect all of them, Dolly. ALL of them.

0:49:50 > 0:49:55SINGING GAELIC 'MOUTH MUSIC'

0:50:56 > 0:50:59'When the dawn rose on that memorable morning

0:50:59 > 0:51:01'it found a changed island.

0:51:01 > 0:51:05'A sea that sparkled more brightly than before,

0:51:05 > 0:51:09'grass that seemed greener, whiter sands.

0:51:09 > 0:51:11'Todday was hardly recognisable!'

0:51:11 > 0:51:17I'll tell my mother today that I will marry when Peggy and the sergeant marry.

0:51:17 > 0:51:20That is, if Catriona will have me.

0:51:23 > 0:51:28- How many have you had, George? - Four.

0:51:28 > 0:51:31Four whiskies and the man's a giant.

0:51:31 > 0:51:36I may have had too much to drink, I don't really know.

0:51:36 > 0:51:39I've never had too much to drink in my life.

0:51:39 > 0:51:44- How do you feel, George?- Fine. - Does your head spin?- No.

0:51:44 > 0:51:46You look steady enough on your pins.

0:51:46 > 0:51:50But speaking as one with experience of these matters, beware of the reaction.

0:51:50 > 0:51:55So we'll prime you with one more dram and bring you into the ring in peak condition.

0:51:55 > 0:52:01- You'll not become a drinker if it's me you're going to marry. - I may HAVE TO till we're married.

0:52:01 > 0:52:08- So the sooner we marry, the better. - What's come over you? - Would you rather I havered on?

0:52:08 > 0:52:10No, George, I don't believe I would.

0:52:13 > 0:52:15You'll be home in half an hour.

0:52:15 > 0:52:18That's about the right dose.

0:52:56 > 0:53:01Wait a bit, Doctor. He may need your services.

0:53:01 > 0:53:07That's a fine lad there. It's a well-known medical fact that some men are born two drinks below par.

0:53:07 > 0:53:12It's not your fault. You're spoilt. I've let you have your own way!

0:53:12 > 0:53:16Catriona and I are getting married next month!

0:53:16 > 0:53:21If you don't like it you can go to... To Glasgow!

0:53:21 > 0:53:25George Campbell! Satan himself is in you.

0:53:25 > 0:53:29You come home drunken, debauched and shameless!

0:53:29 > 0:53:33Bringing that wanton creature to my very door!

0:53:33 > 0:53:37To think your father's son would...

0:53:37 > 0:53:41WAIL OF BAGPIPES

0:53:49 > 0:53:54- How are you keeping, Hector? - Quite myself again.

0:53:54 > 0:53:57That's fine.

0:53:57 > 0:54:04- Would you be hearing about this whisky?- They tell me some of it was saved.- Aye.

0:54:04 > 0:54:08I'm after making some enquiries.

0:54:08 > 0:54:12Man - we get all sorts of unpleasantness in the police.

0:54:12 > 0:54:14Aye, likely you will be.

0:54:16 > 0:54:19Will I be filling your hot water bottle?

0:54:19 > 0:54:21Just leave it. I'm fine and warm just now.

0:54:21 > 0:54:25Well, well, I'll be going.

0:54:25 > 0:54:29- Good afternoon, Hector. - Good afternoon.

0:54:42 > 0:54:44Are you SELLING the stuff?

0:54:44 > 0:54:47I'm selling it, all right, but who is BUYING it?

0:54:47 > 0:54:53- You can go to prison for this. - To prison? What are you telling me?

0:54:53 > 0:54:56This is my quota - four bottles.

0:54:56 > 0:54:59First I've had in two months.

0:54:59 > 0:55:03The Island Queen brought it this morning.

0:55:05 > 0:55:08Oh... I beg your pardon.

0:55:08 > 0:55:13Four bottles! When there's maybe 200 cases on the island.

0:55:13 > 0:55:18200 cases! Constable Macrae hasn't found a single bottle.

0:55:18 > 0:55:20Macrae? Tuh!

0:55:20 > 0:55:22He's looked everywhere.

0:55:22 > 0:55:24Around the beach at Seal Bay?

0:55:27 > 0:55:29Seal Bay...

0:56:04 > 0:56:07GENTLE SNORING

0:56:34 > 0:56:37PEGGY: You're crazy, the lot of you.

0:56:37 > 0:56:41- Bottles everywhere. The place is like a bar.- That's all right!

0:56:41 > 0:56:43What is this?

0:56:44 > 0:56:48- Can I put some of it in here? - Anywhere, as long as it's out of sight.

0:56:48 > 0:56:51Obaig, six - six - six.

0:56:51 > 0:56:52Will you hold on, please?

0:56:55 > 0:56:59Mr Waggett. You're through to Colonel Lindsay-Wolsey.

0:56:59 > 0:57:03Captain Waggett, sir. Officer commanding Todday Home Guard.

0:57:03 > 0:57:07- I'm anxious to talk with you on Home Guard matters.- 'Not again!' - No, no, no.

0:57:07 > 0:57:13Not about the ship. It's about that ammunition I'm returning.

0:57:13 > 0:57:18I suggest I catch the boat tomorrow and be with you the following day.

0:57:18 > 0:57:19'If you must.'

0:57:19 > 0:57:23Yes, well, I wanted to put you in the picture here.

0:57:23 > 0:57:28Paul! All the way to Obaig just for a chat with the Colonel?

0:57:28 > 0:57:33Oh, no. I'm not going anywhere near the Mainland.

0:57:34 > 0:57:39- No! I'm going to the excise people at Nobast.- But, why...?

0:57:41 > 0:57:43Security.

0:57:43 > 0:57:45He said he was off on the boat tomorrow.

0:57:45 > 0:57:49- Where to? - To Obaig to see the Colonel.

0:57:49 > 0:57:55We can have our reiteach tomorrow. And Catriona's - a double reiteach.

0:58:13 > 0:58:17LAUGHTER, CHATTER

0:58:18 > 0:58:23DOCTOR SPEAKS IN GAELIC

0:58:23 > 0:58:24LAUGHTER

0:58:36 > 0:58:37Catriona.

0:58:41 > 0:58:45Now, George. At one gulp, or Catriona will be wearing the breeches!

0:58:45 > 0:58:48LAUGHTER

0:58:51 > 0:58:54LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:58:54 > 0:58:55Well done, George!

0:59:44 > 0:59:49I still think our best course would be to go straight to the cave.

0:59:49 > 0:59:55The cave won't run away. I shall make a house-to-house search.

0:59:55 > 1:00:00- The local constable has already done that.- My men are experts.

1:00:00 > 1:00:04- So are the Todday men at hiding whisky.- We'll see.

1:00:04 > 1:00:11- I suppose you know your own business.- I do. After, you can drive me to the cave.

1:00:11 > 1:00:13- If you insist.- I do.

1:00:16 > 1:00:18SKIRL OF BAGPIPES

1:02:23 > 1:02:26Come on. Get a move on.

1:02:26 > 1:02:30Hurry. Results depend on surprise. Move quickly.

1:02:41 > 1:02:44Grant and MacWhittie, come with me.

1:02:44 > 1:02:47I have a personal visit to pay.

1:02:47 > 1:02:50You'll join us, won't you, Mr Waggett?

1:02:50 > 1:02:53- You know Joseph Macroon?- Yes.

1:02:53 > 1:02:58- Of course, if it's at all awkward... - Why should it be? I've done no more than my duty.

1:02:58 > 1:03:02Then you'll join us. Report to me in Macroon's Post Office!

1:03:07 > 1:03:10MUSIC OVER SPEECH

1:04:05 > 1:04:09Who is it? The Post Office is closed.

1:04:09 > 1:04:13- Could we speak to your father? - He's in bed.

1:04:13 > 1:04:16Oh, Mr Waggett, it's you.

1:04:16 > 1:04:18I thought you were at Obaig.

1:04:18 > 1:04:21Er...no.

1:04:21 > 1:04:24I must ask you to wake your father.

1:04:24 > 1:04:27- May we come in?- Certainly.

1:04:29 > 1:04:32Wait here. I'll wake him.

1:04:35 > 1:04:37Here, will they not smell it?

1:04:39 > 1:04:41Disinfectant.

1:04:41 > 1:04:44Father. Father.

1:04:46 > 1:04:49They're here, the four of them and Farquharson himself.

1:04:52 > 1:04:57- You're sure they've had no warning? - How could they?

1:04:57 > 1:04:59Mmm.

1:04:59 > 1:05:01FOOTSTEPS >

1:05:01 > 1:05:02Mr Macroon.

1:05:02 > 1:05:08Mr Farquharson, what brings you here at this time?

1:05:08 > 1:05:13- It's a bit late, but between old friends...- You're welcome.

1:05:13 > 1:05:17I've not seen you since the Jamaica Maid sunk a year ago.

1:05:17 > 1:05:21That's it. Now the Cabinet Minister has gone down.

1:05:21 > 1:05:24Aye, too quick. Didn't last long.

1:05:24 > 1:05:27We've heard that some of her cargo was removed.

1:05:27 > 1:05:32What? Now, who'd be saying a thing like that?

1:05:50 > 1:05:51CLINK!

1:05:52 > 1:05:54CLINK! CLINK!

1:06:02 > 1:06:06THEY ARGUE IN GAELIC

1:06:14 > 1:06:16KNOCK AT DOOR

1:06:25 > 1:06:27Hic!

1:06:32 > 1:06:33Mm-mm.

1:06:36 > 1:06:39I'm sorry to have disturbed you, Mr Macroon.

1:06:40 > 1:06:43I'll call earlier next time.

1:06:43 > 1:06:47Och, I didn't mind you coming late at all.

1:06:48 > 1:06:50Goodnight.

1:06:55 > 1:07:00Aye. Poor fellows. A dirty job.

1:07:00 > 1:07:03A dirty job.

1:07:07 > 1:07:09Aye...

1:07:11 > 1:07:16You see, not a single bottle. I said you wouldn't find any.

1:07:16 > 1:07:20Get back to the pier. I'll join you there. I'm afraid we'll be wasting our time.

1:07:20 > 1:07:25- Aren't you going...?- I'll speak to you privately, Mr Waggett.- Oh.

1:07:31 > 1:07:34We failed to find anything because they were ready for us.

1:07:34 > 1:07:39I see no reason to tell them our next move. How far is this cave?

1:07:39 > 1:07:43Driving carefully, as I always do, about 15 minutes.

1:07:43 > 1:07:46- Where's your car?- In my garage.

1:07:53 > 1:07:57- He's not going to the pier. - Do you think he knows of the cave?

1:07:57 > 1:08:04- Waggett? No. How would he know? - I told him to try Seal Bay.

1:08:04 > 1:08:05ALL: What! What?

1:08:07 > 1:08:10Why should I help you to ruin my business?

1:08:22 > 1:08:25- Hurry! Hurry!- Come on!

1:08:31 > 1:08:32ENGINE FIRES

1:08:56 > 1:09:02Sammy, take her across the machair. It will be quicker.

1:09:08 > 1:09:14- That man Waggett! - Prison, just for a bit of whisky.

1:09:14 > 1:09:17Men! Sitting there doing nothing.

1:09:17 > 1:09:21- Can you not do something to stop Waggett?- How?

1:09:21 > 1:09:27- Soldiers! Helpless as babies.- I can see THEM stopping the Germans(!)

1:09:27 > 1:09:31That stupid, stuffed-up sassenach playing at being a laird.

1:09:31 > 1:09:35A tin-pot general with his Home Guard and his roadblocks.

1:09:35 > 1:09:38Roadblocks, a fat lot of use!

1:09:40 > 1:09:42Roadblocks!?

1:09:58 > 1:10:02How on earth did that get there?

1:10:03 > 1:10:08It's the fairies. They're very active in these parts.

1:10:08 > 1:10:11- Who's next?- Torquil Monroe.

1:10:11 > 1:10:14- You'll be court-marshalled! - You don't know my colonel, Doc!

1:10:17 > 1:10:20This will take you the rest of the night, won't it?

1:10:20 > 1:10:21We'll move it in a jiffy.

1:10:21 > 1:10:24Not much use against the Germans, in that case.

1:10:24 > 1:10:29My dear sir, if we were Germans, we'd be under fire from snipers.

1:10:29 > 1:10:34GUNFIRE

1:10:34 > 1:10:39Only blanks, a Home Guard issue. A childish attempt to frighten us.

1:10:39 > 1:10:43REPEATED GUNFIRE

1:10:45 > 1:10:47Come on, you two. Let's get this shifted.

1:10:47 > 1:10:53It's a special exercise, Angus. Remember the fifth columnists...?

1:10:53 > 1:10:59Mother, get my helmet. You were using it to feed the hens... Yes?

1:10:59 > 1:11:04Don't let anyone pass the bridge without giving the password.

1:11:04 > 1:11:08- 'Angus, are you there? Hello?' - What IS the password?

1:11:08 > 1:11:11Och, it doesn't matter. Anything!

1:11:11 > 1:11:14- Tell him the password's "whisky". - The password's "whisky", Angus.

1:11:58 > 1:11:59Halt!

1:12:02 > 1:12:03Who is going there?

1:12:03 > 1:12:06What are you doing here, MacCormac?

1:12:06 > 1:12:13- Guarding the bridge, on Cpt Waggett's orders because the Germans have landed.- Are you mad?

1:12:13 > 1:12:17- No, no. I'm pretty wise. - Then go back home.

1:12:17 > 1:12:20I take orders only from Cpt Waggett.

1:12:20 > 1:12:25- I am Cpt Waggett. Are you blind? - I'm quite sober.

1:12:25 > 1:12:27This is lunacy!

1:12:27 > 1:12:30I-i-i-it's me! I-I-I-I...

1:12:30 > 1:12:32I AM Captain Waggett.

1:12:32 > 1:12:39How do I know you're Cpt Waggett? I think you're a fifth columnist.

1:12:39 > 1:12:40I am needing the password.

1:12:40 > 1:12:43Well, no password, no whisky.

1:12:43 > 1:12:48Whisky! That's the very word.

1:13:04 > 1:13:07Come on, Sammy. Get it wound up.

1:13:19 > 1:13:23ENGINE FIRES

1:13:23 > 1:13:26Shut the door, Joseph.

1:13:36 > 1:13:38Here's Waggett! Come on!

1:14:10 > 1:14:12Gone?

1:14:12 > 1:14:17It's been very interesting, this military exercise(!)

1:14:17 > 1:14:18Mr Farquharson!

1:14:19 > 1:14:21They had a lorry.

1:14:23 > 1:14:26They can't drive fast across the dunes with that load.

1:14:26 > 1:14:27Get in the car!

1:15:00 > 1:15:03- You couldn't drive a little faster? - Yes, I can.

1:15:37 > 1:15:39No petrol!

1:15:46 > 1:15:48There they are!

1:16:09 > 1:16:12ENGINE ROARS

1:16:27 > 1:16:30We shall have to cut our way out.

1:16:48 > 1:16:51PHONE RINGS

1:16:54 > 1:16:56Hello. Yes?

1:16:56 > 1:16:58It's for you.

1:17:00 > 1:17:02Hello.

1:17:02 > 1:17:05Yes, speaking.

1:17:05 > 1:17:06Yes.

1:17:09 > 1:17:11Indeed?

1:17:14 > 1:17:16Most interesting.

1:17:17 > 1:17:19I'll ask him.

1:17:19 > 1:17:21What was it?

1:17:21 > 1:17:26- They'd like to interview you at the customs in Obaig.- Why?

1:17:26 > 1:17:34- You sent two cases of ammunition to the mainland with a note to say you were responsible for them?- Yes.

1:17:34 > 1:17:39- One of them contained six bottles of whisky.- Whisky!?

1:17:40 > 1:17:42For export only.

1:17:42 > 1:17:46Oh, but that's... That's impossible. Utterly impossible!

1:17:48 > 1:17:50SHE LAUGHS

1:17:50 > 1:17:53Dolly...?

1:18:23 > 1:18:25'Whisky Galore!

1:18:25 > 1:18:27'Even after our private store was exhausted,

1:18:27 > 1:18:30'there were stocks of legitimate whisky.

1:18:31 > 1:18:35'But the price went up... and up again.

1:18:35 > 1:18:39'Until nobody on Todday could afford even a dram.

1:18:41 > 1:18:45'So they all lived unhappily ever after.'

1:18:52 > 1:18:55'Oh, except Sergeant Odd and his Peggy.

1:18:55 > 1:18:57'For they were not whisky drinkers.

1:18:57 > 1:19:02'And if that isn't a moral story, what is?'
