0:05:27 > 0:05:33Father, I must be going. I'll let you know about the interview.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44Industry offers many opportunities,
0:05:44 > 0:05:49provided you have confidence, intelligence and enthusiasm.
0:05:49 > 0:05:54What industry had you in mind?
0:05:51 > 0:05:54Something not too heavy, sir.
0:05:54 > 0:06:00Not too heavy?
0:05:55 > 0:06:00Not a thumping great business like steel!
0:06:00 > 0:06:02I see. Light industry, eh?
0:06:02 > 0:06:06One near London. With early closing.
0:06:08 > 0:06:15With WHAT?!
0:06:10 > 0:06:15Well, I thought perhaps one afternoon a week...
0:06:15 > 0:06:19You DO expect to work?
0:06:17 > 0:06:19Yes, I'm not afraid of hard work!
0:06:19 > 0:06:23I'm confident I shall get to the top.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26Oh. Well, I hope you're right.
0:06:26 > 0:06:30I'll arrange some appointments for you.

0:07:27 > 0:07:31Before I show you the factory, are there any questions?
0:07:31 > 0:07:37You also make Frisko, which costs less. What is the difference?
0:07:37 > 0:07:40Basically none! It's the packaging.
0:07:40 > 0:07:45Detto has the larger carton, but they contain identical amounts.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48Detto is aimed at young housewives.
0:07:48 > 0:07:55My great-aunt tried Frisko once, and she got an appalling rash!
0:07:55 > 0:08:00Is that so? My babies' napkins have always been washed in Frisko
0:08:00 > 0:08:03and no child has had ANY spots!
0:08:03 > 0:08:08Oh! Well, of course, my aunt's rash was on her arm.
0:08:11 > 0:08:20Next question?
0:08:12 > 0:08:20What is the manufacturing cost, sir?
0:08:14 > 0:08:20Good question. The cost of the contents of these two packets
0:08:20 > 0:08:23is three tenths of a penny,
0:08:23 > 0:08:29and the retail price elevenpence, tenpence ha'penny. And therefore...?
0:08:29 > 0:08:32A whacking great profit!
0:08:38 > 0:08:41Marketing a commodity costs money.
0:08:41 > 0:08:47We are giving away teaspoons with four packets of Detto.
0:08:47 > 0:08:51Sir, has the firm considered the alternative?
0:08:53 > 0:08:58What alternative?
0:08:55 > 0:08:58Sell the teaspoons, give away Detto!
0:09:01 > 0:09:08Tell me, what is your name?
0:09:03 > 0:09:08Windrush, sir.
0:09:04 > 0:09:08Well, Mr Windrush,
0:09:08 > 0:09:14with your approach there is no future for you, nor for us!
0:09:14 > 0:09:19You'd better go. You are not the detergent type!

0:15:04 > 0:15:12Hello, young fella!
0:15:05 > 0:15:12Hello, Uncle!
0:15:06 > 0:15:12This Mr De Vere Cox.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12We was together in the last war!
0:15:12 > 0:15:15Coxie! What are you doing here?
0:15:15 > 0:15:22He's a business friend of Bertie's.
0:15:17 > 0:15:22We've come to help you!
0:15:19 > 0:15:22Really?
0:15:19 > 0:15:22More tea, Mr Cox?
0:15:22 > 0:15:29Thank you, milady.
0:15:23 > 0:15:29I hear you want to go into industry.
0:15:25 > 0:15:29Yes, but it doesn't seem very easy to get in!
0:15:29 > 0:15:36Well, I happen to be a director of an engineering firm - Missiles.
0:15:36 > 0:15:41< Would you like to join us?
0:15:38 > 0:15:41Wonderful, Uncle!
0:15:41 > 0:15:46Your uncle's firm's just about to land a big arms contract.
0:15:46 > 0:15:52It was Cox's idea that I take you on
0:15:48 > 0:15:52Thank you! What would I have to do?
0:15:52 > 0:15:59I expect you'll supervise. After all, you WERE at Oxford.
0:15:57 > 0:15:59First, apply to the labour exchange.
0:15:59 > 0:16:08Labour exchange?!
0:16:01 > 0:16:08I suggested to your uncle that you might go in on the other side.
0:16:08 > 0:16:14What other side?
0:16:09 > 0:16:14Become a worker!
0:16:11 > 0:16:14A worker?!
0:16:12 > 0:16:14Unskilled.
0:16:14 > 0:16:19Is Mr Cox suggesting that Stanley join the working classes?!
0:16:19 > 0:16:26I certainly am! In management, what sort of money would you expect?
0:16:26 > 0:16:29Oh, about...eight pounds a week?
0:16:29 > 0:16:36As a worker, your union would see you never got as little as that!
0:16:36 > 0:16:39And as a worker, you're important!
0:16:39 > 0:16:43Politicians want to make you happy and get your vote.
0:16:43 > 0:16:47Can you see Stanley getting sweaty?
0:16:47 > 0:16:51No, no, you've got the wrong end of the conception!
0:16:51 > 0:16:57These days it's the management who, er, perspires.
0:16:57 > 0:17:03Bertie's given himself ulcers trying to make Missiles more efficient,
0:17:03 > 0:17:06giving the men bigger wage packets.
0:17:06 > 0:17:14And you'd get one, Stanley!
0:17:08 > 0:17:14It DOES sound attractive, Aunt Dolly!
0:17:10 > 0:17:14But having to join one of those horrid unions!
0:17:14 > 0:17:20I don't suppose one HAS to!
0:17:16 > 0:17:20I so HATE violence!
0:17:17 > 0:17:20That doesn't happen nowadays!
0:17:22 > 0:17:26Well, Stanley, what about it, eh?
0:17:26 > 0:17:29Would I be able to work my way up?
0:17:31 > 0:17:34Of course! In time...
0:17:34 > 0:17:38All right, I'll have a go.
0:17:38 > 0:17:43But don't mention to anyone that your uncle's a director.
0:17:43 > 0:17:47It, er, could disturb the, er, industrial peace.
0:17:51 > 0:17:57'The gates opened on a new age, and through them marched the people.
0:17:57 > 0:18:01'The prospects were pink and bright,

0:19:55 > 0:20:00Know?! They only know what's in their pay packet!
0:20:00 > 0:20:05They can break into a sweat merely by standing still!
0:20:05 > 0:20:12They can't STAND being stopwatched!
0:20:07 > 0:20:12I can help them work within their natural capacity!
0:20:12 > 0:20:18The only capacity natural to them is the capacity to dodge the column!
0:20:21 > 0:20:26Sorry, I had a punishing night last night.
0:20:26 > 0:20:31Did a time and motion study of my own - redhead. Rather athletic.
0:20:33 > 0:20:40Quite.
0:20:34 > 0:20:40I'll have to find a way for you to do your stuff without them knowing.
0:20:40 > 0:20:46Our last time and motion chap tried to pass himself off as a worker.
0:20:46 > 0:20:50They rumbled him - he's still in hospital! (LAUGHS)
0:20:52 > 0:20:54Up.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57Down.
0:20:57 > 0:21:01Dead simple.
0:20:57 > 0:21:01It looks a jolly efficient little job.
0:21:01 > 0:21:05Just remember to plug in here at night
0:21:05 > 0:21:12so the batteries are charged next morning.
0:21:07 > 0:21:12The man-hours saved must be colossal!
0:21:12 > 0:21:16We're on a fixed bonus, so don't flog your guts out.
0:21:16 > 0:21:23These trucks must do the work of a dozen men!
0:21:20 > 0:21:23Not half, really, don't you know(!)
0:21:27 > 0:21:33You're, erm, dead keen, aren't you?
0:21:30 > 0:21:33Could you show me again?
0:21:33 > 0:21:36It's another one. Go and tell 'im.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38Righty-ho, Charlie.
0:21:41 > 0:21:46So when he started shooting off about efficiency,
0:21:46 > 0:21:51Brother Carter said I should tell the shop stewards.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53Very commendable, lad.
0:21:53 > 0:21:57If he IS a time and motion bloke,
0:21:57 > 0:22:03we'll have to be quick or we'll get tighter schedules for the same pay!
0:22:03 > 0:22:07Yes, but we have to play it careful.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10We must be fair to the man concerned
0:22:10 > 0:22:17yet we don't wish to raise issues which reverberate to our detriment.
0:22:20 > 0:22:27This is for dispatch. Start this end
0:22:23 > 0:22:27If you don't mind, I'll start down here.
0:22:30 > 0:22:34Watch it!
0:22:31 > 0:22:34What's your game?
0:22:32 > 0:22:34Frightfully sorry!
0:22:34 > 0:22:39Who's going to sweep this lot up?
0:22:36 > 0:22:39< Sorry!
0:22:37 > 0:22:39Berk!
0:22:50 > 0:22:54Pay 21.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54Pay me.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54What the hell are you doing?
0:22:54 > 0:22:59Go on, get out of it!
0:22:56 > 0:22:59I do beg your pardon. I'm new here.
0:22:59 > 0:23:04Bring those back and get up the other end!
0:23:04 > 0:23:06You berk!
0:23:13 > 0:23:19They're takin' on some proper charlies nowadays, aren't they, eh?
0:23:19 > 0:23:21Here we go.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23What are you doing?
0:23:24 > 0:23:28I say, the most extraordinary thing.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31There were some chaps playing cards!
0:23:31 > 0:23:39They were furious!
0:23:33 > 0:23:39I told you to start this end!
0:23:34 > 0:23:39But who are they?
0:23:36 > 0:23:39The management wanted to sack 'em,
0:23:39 > 0:23:43but we'd go on strike, so they kept 'em on as checkers.
0:23:43 > 0:23:48Now come on, get weavin', and only one at a time.
0:23:59 > 0:24:03(That's him, Mr Kite.)
0:24:00 > 0:24:03Hey, you! You!
0:24:03 > 0:24:10What do you think you're doing?
0:24:05 > 0:24:10Frightfully sorry, I haven't got this buttoned up yet.
0:24:10 > 0:24:15What's your name?
0:24:11 > 0:24:15Windrush.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15Oh. We're the works committee.
0:24:15 > 0:24:20How do you do?
0:24:16 > 0:24:20Would you produce your union card?
0:24:18 > 0:24:20I can't!
0:24:20 > 0:24:26Oh?
0:24:21 > 0:24:26You see, my aunt has strong feelings about unions.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29There's others with strong feelings.
0:24:27 > 0:24:29Is it compulsory?
0:24:29 > 0:24:32No, it's not, but you've got to join.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35If it's not compulsory, I'll join!
0:24:35 > 0:24:39Have you done this sort of job?
0:24:36 > 0:24:39I'm afraid not.
0:24:37 > 0:24:39So what brought you here?
0:24:39 > 0:24:42I'm starting in industrial management.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46Industrial management?!
0:24:47 > 0:24:53All right, off you get. Alf, call a stoppage of the truck drivers.
0:24:53 > 0:24:58Don't do nothing till your case has been gone into.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03Come on, get off it.
0:25:11 > 0:25:19Welfare state? More like "farewell" state - soldiers' farewell.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19Major, trouble - the shop stewards.
0:25:19 > 0:25:22Damn! See, Waters, they're onto you!
0:25:22 > 0:25:25They always spot a time and motion man!
0:25:25 > 0:25:29Take Waters outside and camouflage him.
0:25:56 > 0:26:02Is he in?
0:25:57 > 0:26:02Mr Kite! He's busy, but he's always pleased to see you!
0:26:02 > 0:26:05Er, come this way.
0:26:07 > 0:26:13The works committee, Major.
0:26:09 > 0:26:13Ah, come in! Take a pew! Cigarette?
0:26:13 > 0:26:19Major Hitchcock, the works committee has had to call a stoppage.
0:26:19 > 0:26:23Well, what precisely is the trouble?
0:26:23 > 0:26:25We feel that the agreement vis-a-vis
0:26:25 > 0:26:28time and motion is being contravened.
0:26:28 > 0:26:32I don't go behind the unions' backs!
0:26:32 > 0:26:35Then explain why we have the new man.
0:26:35 > 0:26:39New man? But he hasn't started yet!
0:26:39 > 0:26:44Then what's he doing on a f...f...fork-lift truck?
0:26:44 > 0:26:49Who?
0:26:45 > 0:26:49Windrush. >
0:26:46 > 0:26:49Windr... That name rings a bell!
0:26:49 > 0:26:55Get his particulars.
0:26:50 > 0:26:55He has admitted that he is not a genuine worker.
0:26:55 > 0:27:01The management is wilfully jeropurdising the workers' safety.
0:27:01 > 0:27:04AND he does not hold a union card.
0:27:04 > 0:27:08Here you are, Major.
0:27:08 > 0:27:14That damned labour exchange! Henry, he must be sacked immediately!
0:27:14 > 0:27:21You see, nowadays they send us anybody! Just anybody!
0:27:21 > 0:27:28Thank you for telling me! It IS up to the unions to help us keep out the incompetents
0:27:30 > 0:27:33Major, may we withdraw and consult?
0:27:33 > 0:27:37By all means!
0:27:35 > 0:27:37Thank you.
0:27:45 > 0:27:49Phew, I thought they'd got Waters!
0:27:49 > 0:27:56What a shower!
0:27:50 > 0:27:56I'll get Crawley to pay the man off.
0:27:53 > 0:27:56And give him a rocket for employing him!
0:27:56 > 0:28:00KNOCK AT DOOR
0:27:57 > 0:28:00Come in!
0:28:00 > 0:28:05< Ah!
0:28:02 > 0:28:05I have one question for you, Major.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07Go ahead!
0:28:07 > 0:28:11Will you sack this man or not?
0:28:11 > 0:28:13Sack him, of course!
0:28:27 > 0:28:32That is in breach of the company's agreement with the union.
0:28:32 > 0:28:36He's not a union member!
0:28:33 > 0:28:36A technicality.
0:28:36 > 0:28:39Didn't you say he was incompetent?
0:28:39 > 0:28:44We cannot accept the idea that incompetence justifies dismissal.
0:28:44 > 0:28:49That's right.
0:28:46 > 0:28:49We've been at cross-purposes!
0:28:49 > 0:28:52I thought YOU objected to this chap!
0:28:52 > 0:28:56That was before we knew the facts.
0:28:56 > 0:28:59Well, that's splendid, he can stay on!
0:28:59 > 0:29:04That was a most productive morning's work!
0:29:04 > 0:29:10We haven't had a stoppage like this since...the week before last!
0:29:12 > 0:29:17Terribly sorry about it!
0:29:14 > 0:29:17Don't be, it makes a nice break!
0:29:17 > 0:29:23HOOTER BLARES
0:29:23 > 0:29:28What's up now?
0:29:24 > 0:29:28Dinner time. All go today, innit?
0:29:29 > 0:29:34Our chairman, who is indisposed, has asked me to say >
0:29:34 > 0:29:39how much Missiles value this important arms contract.
0:29:39 > 0:29:45We are satisfied to know that in supplying your country with arms,
0:29:45 > 0:29:49Missiles are contributing to world peace.
0:29:49 > 0:29:56Hear, hear.
0:29:51 > 0:29:56I would like to pay tribute to his Excellency Mr Mahommed here,
0:29:56 > 0:30:01whose charm as a diplomat is matched by his integrity.
0:30:01 > 0:30:07Hear, hear!
0:30:02 > 0:30:07The success of these negotiations is entirely due to him.
0:30:07 > 0:30:13Thank you!
0:30:09 > 0:30:13I am no diplomat, I am a simple businessman.
0:30:13 > 0:30:17But we are both simple businessmen!
0:30:17 > 0:30:19HE WHISPERS
0:30:19 > 0:30:24Would you excuse me? An urgent call
0:30:21 > 0:30:24Of course!
0:30:22 > 0:30:24Thank you.
0:30:33 > 0:30:37Did you enjoy your lunch?
0:30:34 > 0:30:37Very much!
0:30:35 > 0:30:37Good!
0:30:37 > 0:30:46Yes, the deal's just been signed.
0:30:39 > 0:30:46CONGENIAL LAUGHTER
0:30:41 > 0:30:46Now listen, Cox, leak the story to the papers right away.
0:30:46 > 0:30:54By tomorrow our shares will have trebled in value, then we sell them at a huge profit
0:30:54 > 0:30:58and carry out the rest of the plan.
0:30:58 > 0:31:04Oh, don't worry about that, Stanley started work this morning.
0:31:04 > 0:31:09I've been studying his Excellency Mr Mahommed.
0:31:09 > 0:31:12I think he'll prove co-operative.
0:31:12 > 0:31:17The trouble today is everybody's out for himself.
0:31:17 > 0:31:19But in Britain it's different.
0:31:19 > 0:31:25Nice of you to say so. It's a matter of mutual confidence, really.
0:31:25 > 0:31:30Every man at Missiles knows we're all in it together -
0:31:30 > 0:31:33we're all out for the same thing!
0:31:33 > 0:31:36It's different in the Soviet Union.
0:31:36 > 0:31:41They work for the same thing. It is a classless society.
0:31:41 > 0:31:48Here you've got to watch 'em - that's why the workers are solid.
0:31:45 > 0:31:48They struck me as being pretty solid.
0:31:48 > 0:31:58It's good having intellectuals coming into the working classes.
0:31:52 > 0:31:58One has to do SOMETHING!
0:31:54 > 0:31:58True. I see you was at Oxford.
0:31:58 > 0:32:05Yes, I was!
0:31:59 > 0:32:05I was up there meself - Balliol Summer School, 1946.
0:32:05 > 0:32:08They do good toast, as you'll know.
0:32:08 > 0:32:10No, I didn't.
0:32:10 > 0:32:14Pop in on your way home and pay your dues at the branch.
0:32:14 > 0:32:19Got far to go?
0:32:16 > 0:32:19It takes me about fifty minutes.
0:32:19 > 0:32:22I ought to find rooms nearer work.
0:32:22 > 0:32:28I might be able to help you there.
0:32:25 > 0:32:28Oh?
0:32:25 > 0:32:28Mrs Kite takes in occasionally.
0:32:28 > 0:32:30Oh, well, er...
0:32:30 > 0:32:35No, I'd welcome it. I enjoy good conversation.
0:32:35 > 0:32:38Pop in and have a look at the rooms.
0:32:38 > 0:32:44Erm, thank you, Mr Kite, but perhaps I could let you know.
0:32:46 > 0:32:48Ooh!
0:32:48 > 0:32:54Dad, tell Mum I'll be in late tonight.
0:32:51 > 0:32:54Very well, Cynthia. On overtime?
0:32:54 > 0:32:58Don't be daft! Going up west. Dancing.
0:33:05 > 0:33:10My daughter Cynthia. Works here, spindle polishing.
0:33:10 > 0:33:12Really?
0:33:14 > 0:33:17Quite a job!
0:33:17 > 0:33:22Erm, that room you mentioned - it wouldn't be any trouble?
0:33:22 > 0:33:27No, Stanley, not a bit!
0:33:24 > 0:33:27Perhaps I could have a look at it!
0:33:28 > 0:33:33Tomorrow night?
0:33:30 > 0:33:33Tomorrow night, yes, capital!
0:33:33 > 0:33:35Good!
0:33:38 > 0:33:45GRAMOPHONE PLAYS "I'm All Right, Jack"
0:33:38 > 0:33:45Call a coloured chap inferior, and what've you got? Cheap labour!
0:33:46 > 0:33:50That's how bosses make their profits
0:33:50 > 0:33:54Oh, stop being such an old misery!
0:33:54 > 0:33:57'Ere, eat this.
0:33:57 > 0:34:05I don't like to see our class behaving like the Garadeane swine.
0:34:01 > 0:34:05Watch your language, Fred Kite!
0:34:05 > 0:34:08Poor Mr Windrush!
0:34:08 > 0:34:11That girl with that gramophone AGAIN.
0:34:11 > 0:34:14GRAMOPHONE PLAYING LOUDLY
0:34:23 > 0:34:25GRAMOPHONE STOPS
0:34:25 > 0:34:27MUSIC RESTARTS
0:34:38 > 0:34:44MUSIC FROM UPSTAIRS
0:34:39 > 0:34:44Here - "Collective Childhood and Factory Manhood".
0:34:44 > 0:34:49Oh... Sounds fun...
0:34:46 > 0:34:49It's about factories in a workers' state.
0:34:49 > 0:34:52But I won't spoil it for you.
0:34:52 > 0:34:58Ever been to Russia?
0:34:54 > 0:34:58Er, no, not yet, but I'd like to.
0:34:58 > 0:35:01All them cornfields and ballet!
0:35:01 > 0:35:04I wish I knew as much about it as you.
0:35:05 > 0:35:10You ever read any of Lenin's works?
0:35:07 > 0:35:10Erm, no, I'm afraid not.
0:35:10 > 0:35:17That'll open your eyes!
0:35:12 > 0:35:17Is 'e still on about Russia? That's all we ever hear about!
0:35:17 > 0:35:18Have another cup of tea, Mr Windrush.
0:35:18 > 0:35:25Er, no, thank you.
0:35:21 > 0:35:25Care to imbibe? Where's that Australian Burgundy?
0:35:25 > 0:35:31No, really.
0:35:26 > 0:35:31You sure?
0:35:27 > 0:35:31Certain.
0:35:28 > 0:35:31Oh, Cynthia, this is Mr Windrush.
0:35:31 > 0:35:36He's going to take the room.
0:35:33 > 0:35:36We've met already.
0:35:34 > 0:35:36Good evening.
0:35:36 > 0:35:41There's some tea for you.
0:35:37 > 0:35:41I can't stop.
0:35:39 > 0:35:41Where you going this evening?
0:35:41 > 0:35:45Movies.
0:35:42 > 0:35:45Perhaps I could give you a lift.
0:35:45 > 0:35:49That would be kind, wouldn't it?
0:35:49 > 0:35:51Yes. Ta.
0:35:51 > 0:35:57You don't want to go yet, Stanley!
0:35:53 > 0:35:57I don't, but I really ought to.
0:35:57 > 0:36:02Oh...
0:35:57 > 0:36:02Bye, Mum!
0:35:58 > 0:36:02Don't be late.
0:36:00 > 0:36:02Goodbye. Thank you.
0:36:02 > 0:36:05Don't worry, we'll see ourselves out.
0:36:07 > 0:36:10What a lovely young fella, eh?
0:36:10 > 0:36:18Potentially very intelligent.
0:36:12 > 0:36:18I wouldn't know about that.
0:36:15 > 0:36:18It's a pity Cynthia don't read.
0:36:18 > 0:36:25She's not properly developed.
0:36:20 > 0:36:25Whatever on earth are you talking about?
0:36:25 > 0:36:29Intellectually, I mean!
0:36:26 > 0:36:29She's young, she wants a bit of fun!
0:36:29 > 0:36:37And she makes sure she gets it!
0:36:31 > 0:36:37Y'know, him living here might make a very good friend for Cynthia.
0:36:37 > 0:36:39You can trust his sort. >
0:36:40 > 0:36:48Please explain.
0:36:41 > 0:36:48It's possible that Missiles will be unable to fulfil your contract.
0:36:48 > 0:36:57But peace in the Middle East depends on it!
0:36:52 > 0:36:57Cox, perhaps you'll explain to Mr Mahommed.
0:36:57 > 0:37:01Well, I own an engineering concern.
0:37:01 > 0:37:07Bertie owns the tax losses - only not in his name, of course.
0:37:07 > 0:37:11Well, we're not very busy at the moment.
0:37:11 > 0:37:14But the contract is with Missiles.
0:37:14 > 0:37:21But supposing they can't deliver? That's where my company comes in.
0:37:21 > 0:37:26It'll cost your government £100,000 more -
0:37:26 > 0:37:29a nice sum to divide between three
0:37:29 > 0:37:33Eenie... meenie... miney.
0:37:35 > 0:37:37Ah!
0:37:39 > 0:37:45I see.
0:37:40 > 0:37:45Between simple businessmen even peace is divisible.
0:37:46 > 0:37:53But why should you have trouble?
0:37:47 > 0:37:53A new worker.
0:37:50 > 0:37:53Troublemaker - never knows when to stop!
0:37:57 > 0:37:59OWL HOOTS
0:38:13 > 0:38:15Stan?
0:38:15 > 0:38:18Mmmm?
0:38:18 > 0:38:21D'you mind me asking you something?
0:38:21 > 0:38:24Of course not!
0:38:24 > 0:38:27Cross your heart?
0:38:27 > 0:38:29Cross my heart.
0:38:29 > 0:38:32Are them your own teeth?
0:38:34 > 0:38:39Are they WHAT?
0:38:36 > 0:38:39Are them your own teeth?
0:38:39 > 0:38:41Of course they are!
0:38:42 > 0:38:44I thought so.
0:38:44 > 0:38:50Only you keep 'em so nice and white I thought they might be dentures.
0:38:55 > 0:38:56Stan?
0:38:56 > 0:38:58Mmmm?
0:38:58 > 0:39:02I'm so glad you're coming to live with us.
0:39:16 > 0:39:18BANGING
0:39:20 > 0:39:25CAT WAILS
0:39:25 > 0:39:27# Num-Yum is fruit and fun Num-Yum's the best bar none!
0:39:27 > 0:39:30# Because it's soft and milky and delicious! Num-Yum! #
0:39:48 > 0:39:54What's the trouble?
0:39:49 > 0:39:54It won't go!
0:39:51 > 0:39:54You forgot to plug in, didn't ya?
0:39:54 > 0:40:00We saw that last night! Charlie said, "He'll have a flat battery!"
0:40:04 > 0:40:07Why didn't he plug it in?!
0:40:07 > 0:40:11Demarcation, Stan!
0:40:09 > 0:40:11What the blazes is that?
0:40:11 > 0:40:15He mustn't do other people's work!
0:40:15 > 0:40:22I thought we workers were all solid.
0:40:18 > 0:40:22But, squire, he's in a different union.
0:40:22 > 0:40:29He's in the Amalgamated, we're in the General.
0:40:24 > 0:40:29Why have two unions?
0:40:26 > 0:40:29How would we go on for wage claims?
0:40:29 > 0:40:35The Amalgamated gets a rise, so the General puts in for one.
0:40:35 > 0:40:39Otherwise we wouldn't none of us get a rise!
0:40:40 > 0:40:46I see!
0:40:41 > 0:40:46I hate to mention work, but you two get back on the job!
0:41:00 > 0:41:05Put it back and plug it in. Get a spare.
0:42:06 > 0:42:09Here's the box you installed, sir.
0:42:09 > 0:42:12All right, Henry, leave it there.
0:42:16 > 0:42:19TYPING
0:42:33 > 0:42:35Oh, very good!
0:42:45 > 0:42:47Dirty beast!
0:42:50 > 0:42:53Major? I CANNOT go on like this.
0:42:53 > 0:42:58Oh yes?
0:42:54 > 0:42:58I can't time men through binoculars!
0:42:58 > 0:43:02Waters, listen, this is VERY good.
0:43:02 > 0:43:06"Re that bloodhound with binoculars.
0:43:06 > 0:43:11"If he sniffs round the workshops he might lose his testimonials.
0:43:11 > 0:43:13"Signed, four dog lovers"!
0:43:13 > 0:43:18I don't find that amusing.
0:43:15 > 0:43:18You should see the others - pure porno!
0:43:18 > 0:43:25Still, if it weren't for this box they'd write on the walls!
0:43:21 > 0:43:25PHONE RINGS
0:43:27 > 0:43:30Hello? Hitchcock, personnel.
0:43:30 > 0:43:33Oh, hello, sir!
0:43:33 > 0:43:37Oh, of course, yes, good show!
0:43:37 > 0:43:39Henry, come in here!
0:43:39 > 0:43:43What? Oh, leave that to me, sir!
0:43:44 > 0:43:47Goodbye, sir.
0:43:47 > 0:43:50Blast! Henry, a bit of a flap on.
0:43:50 > 0:43:54The deputy chairman's bringing down those darkies.
0:43:54 > 0:44:00Got to lay on the usual things - speeches, soap in the toilet...
0:44:00 > 0:44:02Go on!
0:44:02 > 0:44:06Oh, he wants to see you.
0:44:03 > 0:44:06Me?
0:44:04 > 0:44:06You must report to him.
0:44:06 > 0:44:10Oh. Right.
0:44:10 > 0:44:13You're simply not doing your job!
0:44:13 > 0:44:16Nobody will co-operate, sir.
0:44:16 > 0:44:22If you want co-operation, try that new man, Windrush, on the trucks.
0:44:22 > 0:44:26He's young, keen, and not corrupted...yet.
0:44:26 > 0:44:30I could time the mechanical handling.
0:44:30 > 0:44:34Good. After lunch get down to dispatch.
0:44:34 > 0:44:39What about the works committee?
0:44:36 > 0:44:39Well, what I'm saying in my speech
0:44:39 > 0:44:44is bound to provoke a meeting. They'll be out of the way.
0:44:44 > 0:44:49Very well. Thank you very much, sir.
0:44:46 > 0:44:49Get on with it.
0:44:53 > 0:44:59Nice, Bertie, very nice! "Young, keen and intelligent" - blimey!
0:44:59 > 0:45:06Don't want the other directors seeing you.
0:45:01 > 0:45:06Right. Oh, give 'em the "working damned hard" stuff.
0:45:06 > 0:45:09And that "export or die" bunk.
0:45:10 > 0:45:14"Export or die" is no empty phrase.
0:45:14 > 0:45:19We must sell to be able to buy, or the result is starvation.
0:45:19 > 0:45:24Can anyone here put his hand on his heart and truly say, >
0:45:24 > 0:45:27"I am doing my best"? >
0:45:27 > 0:45:33HE BELCHES
0:45:28 > 0:45:33Turn it up, there's enough wind inside.
0:45:33 > 0:45:38..a sense of duty - an ideal which many have lost sight of.
0:45:38 > 0:45:45< To ensure good trading intercourse with foreign markets, we must sell!
0:45:45 > 0:45:48(What's he on about?)
0:45:48 > 0:45:51(Commercial intercourse with foreigners.)
0:45:51 > 0:45:59..everyone doing an honest day's work for a fair day's pay, for a change.
0:45:59 > 0:46:03< We must work with our neighbours,
0:46:03 > 0:46:08irrespective of whether they belong to another union or race.
0:46:08 > 0:46:12The firm's success is OUR success!
0:46:12 > 0:46:15HE BLOWS RASPBERRY
0:46:15 > 0:46:21Thank you, everyone, now get back and buckle down to your jobs!
0:46:29 > 0:46:36It is so nice to see British democracy in action.
0:46:33 > 0:46:36Thank you!
0:46:36 > 0:46:39A jolly good speech!
0:46:37 > 0:46:39Creep!
0:46:39 > 0:46:43I think my speech'll have an effect.
0:46:43 > 0:46:46I'd be surprised if it didn't, sir.
0:47:03 > 0:47:06HE WHISTLES
0:47:06 > 0:47:08Afternoon!
0:47:07 > 0:47:08Afternoon!
0:47:08 > 0:47:14You in charge here?
0:47:09 > 0:47:14No, the dispatch charge hand is - he's at the works committee meeting.
0:47:14 > 0:47:17Oh. Handy little machine, that!
0:47:17 > 0:47:21Good, aren't they?
0:47:18 > 0:47:21I'm new around here.
0:47:21 > 0:47:23Haven't been here long myself!
0:47:23 > 0:47:28What are you doing?
0:47:25 > 0:47:28Shifting the generators for loading.
0:47:28 > 0:47:34This machine must save you a lot of sweat.
0:47:30 > 0:47:34Yes!
0:47:31 > 0:47:34Pity it can't take two at a time.
0:47:34 > 0:47:38But it can!
0:47:35 > 0:47:38Really?
0:47:36 > 0:47:38Shall I show you?
0:47:38 > 0:47:42Yes, please!
0:47:39 > 0:47:42Righty-ho. Stay here.
0:47:42 > 0:47:44Mind your legs, that's the idea.
0:48:03 > 0:48:08There we are!
0:48:04 > 0:48:08That WAS quick!
0:48:05 > 0:48:08I could go faster!
0:48:08 > 0:48:15Not with two, surely?
0:48:09 > 0:48:15More! Three, four!
0:48:10 > 0:48:15Impossible!
0:48:12 > 0:48:15All right, I'll show you.
0:48:18 > 0:48:24Not keeping you from your work, am I?
0:48:20 > 0:48:24Oh, no!
0:48:21 > 0:48:24I don't want to get you into trouble!
0:48:24 > 0:48:30Not at all. I'm...learning a lot.
0:48:27 > 0:48:30Oh, good! Right, watch this!
0:48:33 > 0:48:37"Don't want to get you into trouble"!
0:48:37 > 0:48:41Brothers, it means trouble. You heard his speech.
0:48:41 > 0:48:47It was barefaced provocative of the workers.
0:48:47 > 0:48:51ALL: Hear, hear.
0:48:48 > 0:48:51I would say we had no option.
0:48:51 > 0:48:57We try to help the management, but the co-operation's been one-sided!
0:48:57 > 0:49:00They f...f...fight us on every issue.
0:49:00 > 0:49:09From now on, no concessions - we have enough on our plate, without having more piled on!
0:49:24 > 0:49:27There we are - dead easy!
0:49:29 > 0:49:33Splendid! Put them into effect immediately.
0:49:33 > 0:49:39Yes, sir. Nobody told me the men had agreed to the job being retimed.
0:49:39 > 0:49:44They haven't.
0:49:41 > 0:49:44Well, then, sir, this is worthless.
0:49:44 > 0:49:50Why?
0:49:45 > 0:49:50Well, you must time a man on the job.
0:49:50 > 0:49:55A man WAS timed.
0:49:52 > 0:49:55A man was... How? Who?
0:49:55 > 0:49:59An inexperienced operator.
0:49:57 > 0:49:59(I'm not surprised to hear that.)
0:49:59 > 0:50:01Windrush.
0:50:01 > 0:50:04Windrush? Oh, Windrush.
0:50:04 > 0:50:10Sir, I don't want to be a Jeremiah, but these figures are science fiction stuff!
0:50:10 > 0:50:15No, Major -in fact, Windrush's work rate was much higher.
0:50:15 > 0:50:22But he hasn't got used to the workers' natural rhythm.
0:50:19 > 0:50:22It's neither natural nor rhythmic!
0:50:23 > 0:50:29I agree.
0:50:25 > 0:50:29Oh, absolutely, sir.
0:50:26 > 0:50:29Right, get on with it.
0:50:31 > 0:50:35That's what I wanted from you - keep it up!
0:50:35 > 0:50:40Thank you, sir, I'll do my best.
0:50:37 > 0:50:40We'll soon have things moving!
0:51:33 > 0:51:37Slice of cake?
0:51:34 > 0:51:37What? Turn you stone deaf!
0:51:37 > 0:51:42I was skint, then three cross doubles came up!
0:51:42 > 0:51:46The boys'll think you're creepin'!
0:51:46 > 0:51:48Sorry.
0:51:48 > 0:51:54Here, have this on me, or Kitey'll chase you for the rent this weekend!
0:51:56 > 0:51:58WHISTLE BLOWS
0:51:58 > 0:52:01Told you -he's come to collect.
0:52:01 > 0:52:04Fall in, the Church Lads' Brigade.
0:52:05 > 0:52:07Thank you, Brother.
0:52:07 > 0:52:09WHISTLE BLOWS
0:52:12 > 0:52:15Right, Brothers, are we all here?
0:52:15 > 0:52:19I wish to lay before you certain facts.
0:52:19 > 0:52:24I have been handed this paper by the management.
0:52:24 > 0:52:27It purports to contain timings
0:52:27 > 0:52:30which affect the rates for your jobs.
0:52:30 > 0:52:33This has not been mooted before,
0:52:33 > 0:52:41and it is definitely a definite breach of the existing agreements that exist.
0:52:41 > 0:52:44- A diabolical liberty! - (ALL) Hear, hear!
0:52:44 > 0:52:47We would've known if they'd timed us.
0:52:47 > 0:52:53That brings me to a point that has led us to take a grave view of this.
0:52:53 > 0:52:58One of our members DID co-operate with the management.
0:53:00 > 0:53:03Brother Windrush, I ask you this,
0:53:03 > 0:53:07did you collaborate with the management?
0:53:07 > 0:53:11Me? Collaborate? What do you mean?
0:53:11 > 0:53:17Was you on loadings yesterday?
0:53:13 > 0:53:17Yes.
0:53:14 > 0:53:17Brother Charge Hand, where was you?
0:53:17 > 0:53:21I was at a shop stewards' meeting.
0:53:21 > 0:53:25You was alone, Brother.
0:53:22 > 0:53:25Except for the other chap.
0:53:25 > 0:53:32Brothers, this so-called "other chap" was, in fact, the new time and motion man.
0:53:32 > 0:53:35GRUMBLING
0:53:36 > 0:53:40Perhaps you'd make a statement.
0:53:40 > 0:53:44Terribly sorry, but he didn't tell me that.
0:53:44 > 0:53:48You must be dead stupid - of course he wouldn't tell you!
0:53:48 > 0:53:52- He was interested in the truck! - He's after more work for less money.
0:53:52 > 0:53:56But I got the job done in half the time!
0:53:56 > 0:54:00Then he'd only need half the drivers!
0:54:00 > 0:54:03- It's OK for you -- WE- need the money.
0:54:03 > 0:54:06So do I! I could do with a bit more.
0:54:06 > 0:54:12You're going the right way about getting it!
0:54:09 > 0:54:12You s...silly c...c...clot.
0:54:12 > 0:54:15GRUMBLING
0:54:15 > 0:54:19Your case'll come up tonight before the branch.
0:54:19 > 0:54:25I insist that I was not working hard, just quicker.
0:54:25 > 0:54:28Must've been working like a black!
0:54:28 > 0:54:33That's it! They talked about coloured labour.
0:54:33 > 0:54:38They'll have blacks doing our jobs like in Birmingham!
0:54:38 > 0:54:45Dirty rotten trick!
0:54:39 > 0:54:45You going to call the drivers out?
0:54:41 > 0:54:45Brothers, EVERYBODY'S comin' out!
0:55:25 > 0:55:27Hey! Has that Windrush gone yet?
0:55:27 > 0:55:31Try the car park - he's got a bubble car.
0:55:35 > 0:55:37Ah!
0:55:40 > 0:55:42Is your name...?
0:55:42 > 0:55:45Good Lord! It is! I know you!
0:55:45 > 0:55:52I served under you in the Army!
0:55:48 > 0:55:52I might have known - you've always been bolshy!
0:55:52 > 0:56:00What do you mean?
0:55:54 > 0:56:00Don't come the innocent with me - the whole place is on strike!
0:56:00 > 0:56:03You're a stinker of the first order!
0:56:06 > 0:56:08Ow!
0:56:08 > 0:56:10OW!
0:56:32 > 0:56:38Come on, we're on strike!
0:56:33 > 0:56:38Who said?
0:56:34 > 0:56:38Kitey just passed a motion. Come on!
0:56:38 > 0:56:42No point us working for nothing, is there?
0:56:47 > 0:56:53Here's to the solidarity of the workers. Long live the unions.
0:56:53 > 0:56:59The workers won't give in, but my fellow directors may not approve.
0:56:59 > 0:57:06If they do not?
0:57:00 > 0:57:06I'd have to withdraw the schedules and the strike would collapse.
0:57:06 > 0:57:11But I need time to transfer the contract to Mr Cox here!
0:57:11 > 0:57:15How long would you like?
0:57:13 > 0:57:15Four or five days - at least.
0:57:15 > 0:57:17No problem.
0:57:17 > 0:57:23You know, Bertie, I think we ought to call the newspapers in on this.
0:57:24 > 0:57:28There must be a nice human story here.
0:57:41 > 0:57:46Stanley, you can't stop eating just cos you're not working!
0:57:46 > 0:57:50My dear boy!
0:57:47 > 0:57:50Mr Kite's late.
0:57:50 > 0:57:56Soppy branch meetings! I don't know what they find to talk about!
0:57:56 > 0:57:58They're talking about me, I think.
0:57:58 > 0:58:05Ah, daft lot.

0:58:00 > 0:58:05Ah, there he is. Dad, tea's waiting!

0:58:24 > 0:58:27Good evening, Mr Kite!

0:58:43 > 0:58:46Disassociation? What's that?
0:58:46 > 0:58:49You have been sent to Coventry.
0:58:49 > 0:58:52Nobody'll talk to me for a month?
0:58:52 > 0:58:55That is correct, yes.
0:58:55 > 0:58:59So YOU'RE not allowed to talk to me, Mr Kite?
0:58:59 > 0:59:04Only to inform you of our democratic decision.
0:59:05 > 0:59:08Demo... But I wasn't there, Mr Kite!
0:59:08 > 0:59:11Unnecessary. We had all the facts.
0:59:11 > 0:59:17Good job the wives don't strike. Have you washed your hands?
0:59:17 > 0:59:20They're clean enough.

0:59:28 > 0:59:32Is this Mr Kite's house? We're from the press.
0:59:32 > 0:59:36Er, would you wait one moment, please?
0:59:40 > 0:59:42(Dad! Dad!)
0:59:42 > 0:59:47Eh?
0:59:42 > 0:59:47(There's a crowd of reporters outside!)
0:59:47 > 0:59:50Oh, they'll want a statement from me.
0:59:50 > 0:59:53Don't get yourself in the newspapers.
0:59:53 > 0:59:59No, when you're in the public eye, you expect it. Let 'em in.
0:59:59 > 1:00:05I must ask those present to retire while I hold a press conference.
1:00:09 > 1:00:14Press conference! Who d'you think you are, Diana Dors?
1:00:14 > 1:00:19Will you come in, please?
1:00:16 > 1:00:19Evening, friends. Please be seated.
1:00:19 > 1:00:23Mr Kite?
1:00:20 > 1:00:23Correct. I know what you want,
1:00:23 > 1:00:28so please be seated and I'll discuss the case.
1:00:28 > 1:00:32Now it has always been the union's...
1:00:32 > 1:00:35- Could we interrupt you? - Certainly.
1:00:35 > 1:00:39We understand Mr Windrush lives here.
1:00:39 > 1:00:43Yes.
1:00:40 > 1:00:43Could we see him, Mr Kite?
1:00:43 > 1:00:47See HIM? Well, I do not know...
1:00:47 > 1:00:51Is he in?
1:00:49 > 1:00:51Yes, he's in...
1:00:51 > 1:00:57but it may not be convenient.
1:00:54 > 1:00:57Would you mind asking him?
1:01:01 > 1:01:03Mother!
1:01:04 > 1:01:08You're Missiles' chief shop steward?
1:01:08 > 1:01:15I am, for my sins!
1:01:10 > 1:01:15< You brought the men out?
1:01:12 > 1:01:15Technically, that might appear so.
1:01:15 > 1:01:19However, it was passed democratically, and...
1:01:19 > 1:01:22How many strikes have you called?
1:01:22 > 1:01:27That question is not reve-lant to this issue.
1:01:27 > 1:01:34Are you in any political party?
1:01:30 > 1:01:34My politics are between me and the ballot box!
1:01:34 > 1:01:40Are you a Conservative?
1:01:37 > 1:01:40The interests of the working class
1:01:40 > 1:01:43are diametrically opposed
1:01:43 > 1:01:49to the party you have mentioned. What is more, and again I...
1:01:49 > 1:01:52May we ask you some questions?
1:01:53 > 1:01:57We're told you started the strike.
1:01:57 > 1:02:02I'm afraid I did.
1:01:58 > 1:02:02By working too hard.
1:02:00 > 1:02:02Oh, no!
1:02:02 > 1:02:08But you worked harder than the rest?
1:02:04 > 1:02:08Not harder, really - just quicker...
1:02:08 > 1:02:11What are your mates going to say?
1:02:11 > 1:02:17I don't know. They can't speak to me, I've been sent to Coventry.
1:02:17 > 1:02:19< For working hard?
1:02:19 > 1:02:23I suppose so. I'm not quite sure.
1:02:23 > 1:02:28- How do you feel about these mates? - They're first-class chaps!
1:02:28 > 1:02:30- No hard feelings? - No!
1:02:30 > 1:02:34Don't you want to get back to work?
1:02:32 > 1:02:34Yes, I need the money!
1:02:34 > 1:02:41But the union's stopping you?
1:02:36 > 1:02:41It's not really as simple as all that.
1:02:41 > 1:02:46There's the negotiated agreement and the question of the black men.
1:02:46 > 1:02:49What about them?
1:02:49 > 1:02:56I don't understand that myself, but Mr Kite could explain it for you.
1:02:56 > 1:03:02But your whole object is to get this big export order completed quickly?
1:03:02 > 1:03:06Yes! If we can't export, we shall die of starvation!
1:03:07 > 1:03:11We must produce at the right price!
1:03:11 > 1:03:18And the human angle - are you the only person living here with Mr and Mrs Kite?
1:03:18 > 1:03:23< Apart from their daughter Cynthia.
1:03:23 > 1:03:25Oh! And what does she do?
1:03:25 > 1:03:32She's at the factory, too.
1:03:27 > 1:03:32Then you must see quite a lot of each other.
1:03:33 > 1:03:36Yes, well, it's getting awfully late,
1:03:36 > 1:03:43and Mr Kite hasn't had his supper.
1:03:38 > 1:03:43Could we have a quick picture of you with the ladies?
1:03:45 > 1:03:49You don't want to photograph me!
1:03:49 > 1:03:55Let me get my apron off, then!
1:03:51 > 1:03:55< Put your arms round them.
1:03:55 > 1:03:59< Now, Miss Kite, look up at Mr Windrush.
1:03:59 > 1:04:02Smile. Thank you!
1:04:04 > 1:04:10< "Stanley Windrush did in one hour what his workmates did in seven.
1:04:10 > 1:04:13"But his union sent him to Coventry.
1:04:13 > 1:04:19"He was working too efficientry...efficiently.
1:04:19 > 1:04:25"Does he forgive them? 'They are first-class chaps,' he says.
1:04:25 > 1:04:30"Here is an example to us all. The management must back him."
1:04:30 > 1:04:38There. Lord Beaverbrook wrote that.
1:04:33 > 1:04:38I should never have allowed him to be interviewed.
1:04:38 > 1:04:40This is a management stunt!
1:04:40 > 1:04:46The Sketch says if Stan was Russian he'd be a hero of the Soviet Union.
1:04:46 > 1:04:52You've come out lovely in this one, Cyn. They do look nice together.
1:04:52 > 1:04:56Stan looks just like Frankie Sinatra here!
1:04:56 > 1:04:59Beats me how you can read that muck!
1:04:59 > 1:05:05Muck? YOU sent him into Coventry! They don't say "Salute Fred Kite".
1:05:05 > 1:05:10Your press conference didn't help!
1:05:07 > 1:05:10Don't be rude to your father.
1:05:08 > 1:05:10I'm off.
1:05:10 > 1:05:17I thought you wasn't working.
1:05:12 > 1:05:17I've got to report to the executive, check the pickets...
1:05:17 > 1:05:21You only ever do any work when you're on strike!
1:05:29 > 1:05:32There he is!
1:05:32 > 1:05:35Mind your backs, please.
1:05:35 > 1:05:39Any developments?
1:05:36 > 1:05:39Care to make a statement?
1:05:37 > 1:05:39Any news?
1:05:39 > 1:05:46This strike will be 100% solid, apart from that, I have no comment.
1:05:47 > 1:05:50Excuse me. Stand back, please.
1:06:00 > 1:06:06Look for Master Stanley's car. The house must be near here.
1:06:06 > 1:06:09Very good, your Ladyship.
1:06:17 > 1:06:20Would you mind coming out this side?
1:06:20 > 1:06:23Yes, I think I'd better. Thank you.
1:06:24 > 1:06:27Whatever's going on here?
1:06:47 > 1:06:49Good morning. Is my nephew at home?
1:06:49 > 1:06:52Nephew?
1:06:50 > 1:06:52Mr Windrush.
1:06:52 > 1:06:56Who, Stan?
1:06:54 > 1:06:56Yes, Stanley.
1:06:56 > 1:06:59Ooh! Mum, it's Stan's auntie!
1:07:00 > 1:07:05Auntie?
1:07:01 > 1:07:05Come in!
1:07:02 > 1:07:05Thank you.
1:07:06 > 1:07:09MURMURING
1:07:21 > 1:07:25I've told Stanley you're here. He's dressing.
1:07:25 > 1:07:29Thank you.
1:07:26 > 1:07:29Cynthia, you go and get dressed too!
1:07:30 > 1:07:33All right, Mum. See you later.
1:07:33 > 1:07:35< Perhaps, yes.
1:07:35 > 1:07:41I'm sorry, it's my fault - I told Stan he could have a lay-in,
1:07:41 > 1:07:47seeing he wasn't working.
1:07:42 > 1:07:47I see.
1:07:44 > 1:07:47Sit down, I'll make you a cup of tea.
1:07:47 > 1:07:52No, I won't have any tea, thank you.
1:07:49 > 1:07:52It's no trouble! >
1:07:52 > 1:07:56You're very kind, but no, thank you.
1:08:01 > 1:08:06I must say, we love having your nephew here.
1:08:06 > 1:08:11Yes, he's a nice boy.
1:08:07 > 1:08:11He's so considerate and so polite.
1:08:11 > 1:08:15I'm glad to hear that. Manners have changed, haven't they?
1:08:15 > 1:08:19Sometimes I think the whole world's changed!
1:08:19 > 1:08:26It has indeed!
1:08:21 > 1:08:26I said to Mr Kite the other day, "It's all right changing things,
1:08:26 > 1:08:29"but what're you left with?"
1:08:29 > 1:08:33Perhaps I WILL sit down.
1:08:31 > 1:08:33That's the ticket.
1:08:33 > 1:08:35You make yourself comfortable...
1:08:35 > 1:08:40Thank you!
1:08:36 > 1:08:40..and I'll make you a cup of tea!
1:08:38 > 1:08:40Thank you!
1:08:40 > 1:08:44Stanley's side of the family haven't a penny!
1:08:44 > 1:08:47I suppose she looks after them.
1:08:47 > 1:08:51She looks after the money. That's about all she looks after.
1:08:51 > 1:08:55I expect Stanley will get a bit when she goes.
1:08:55 > 1:09:02I'm most anxious that Stanley shouldn't be disloyal, worker or not.
1:09:02 > 1:09:04Definitely. How d'you like your tea?
1:09:04 > 1:09:07Strong and no sugar, if you please.
1:09:07 > 1:09:11Family ties count for something.
1:09:11 > 1:09:14No-one should forget his upbringing.
1:09:14 > 1:09:16Quite.
1:09:16 > 1:09:21It's unthinkable that a gentleman should go on strike.
1:09:21 > 1:09:27Officers don't mutiny, do they?
1:09:24 > 1:09:27No. I see what you mean.
1:09:27 > 1:09:31Thank you. That's what I've come to tell Stanley.
1:09:42 > 1:09:46That lot won't see nothing, the strike's solid.
1:09:46 > 1:09:48Tell 'em to f...f...
1:09:48 > 1:09:50..film something else.
1:09:55 > 1:09:58Hello, what's HE come here for?
1:10:04 > 1:10:08You shouldn't be up here, you're in Coventry.
1:10:08 > 1:10:14The fact is, Mr Kite, I've decided to go back to work.
1:10:15 > 1:10:21You what?!
1:10:16 > 1:10:21You may not understand this, but it's a matter of loyalty.
1:10:21 > 1:10:28I should think it is!
1:10:23 > 1:10:28I mean, Uncle expects it of me.
1:10:28 > 1:10:35What's your uncle got to do with it?
1:10:30 > 1:10:35He's Mr Tracepurcel. Though he asked me not to say.
1:10:36 > 1:10:39I should bloody well think he did!
1:10:39 > 1:10:44Of course, I might have known! I've been blind!
1:10:44 > 1:10:50You're an agent provoca-tower!
1:10:46 > 1:10:50No, I...
1:10:47 > 1:10:50You whited sepulchre!
1:10:50 > 1:10:54You was a fifth column in our midst!
1:10:54 > 1:10:59Do you mind if I drive on into the factory?
1:11:02 > 1:11:04JEERING
1:11:06 > 1:11:09Fascists!
1:11:09 > 1:11:12Go on in, if you're going.
1:11:15 > 1:11:18You traitor, Windrush!
1:11:22 > 1:11:25In my own house!
1:11:25 > 1:11:28Blackleg - a nice thing!
1:11:30 > 1:11:33And me chief shop steward!
1:11:33 > 1:11:36Made me a laughin' stock!
1:11:36 > 1:11:42It's not right! I mean, I'm easy enough, but there are limits!
1:11:42 > 1:11:47DOOR OPENS
1:11:43 > 1:11:47Ooh, home at last!
1:11:47 > 1:11:50They should put on more buses!
1:11:50 > 1:11:54What a journey! Edie sends her love.
1:11:54 > 1:12:01Yes, dear, put them down there.
1:11:56 > 1:12:01Have you got my present for Stanley?
1:11:59 > 1:12:01Here it is, dear.
1:12:02 > 1:12:06Oh! Stan not had his supper yet?
1:12:06 > 1:12:10No.
1:12:07 > 1:12:10Why, isn't he in?
1:12:08 > 1:12:10No.
1:12:10 > 1:12:14Shall I put it on his plate?
1:12:11 > 1:12:14Yes, dear, all right.
1:12:19 > 1:12:22When will Stanley be back?
1:12:22 > 1:12:26He IS back.
1:12:23 > 1:12:26What do you mean?
1:12:26 > 1:12:31He's back where he belongs.
1:12:28 > 1:12:31'Ere, just a moment.
1:12:32 > 1:12:35What exactly do you mean by that?
1:12:35 > 1:12:39He's packed up and gone.
1:12:37 > 1:12:39Where?
1:12:39 > 1:12:42I had no choice. He's a blackleg.
1:12:42 > 1:12:45You threw him out?!
1:12:45 > 1:12:47(WAILS)
1:12:51 > 1:12:56There, darling, don't upset yourself, Cynthia.
1:12:57 > 1:12:59See what you've done?
1:13:03 > 1:13:06What will I do with his suspenders?
1:13:08 > 1:13:14(I could tell you.)
1:13:10 > 1:13:14He's got no thought for others!
1:13:15 > 1:13:18Now he's ruined my whole life!
1:13:21 > 1:13:24I hope you're satisfied, Fred Kite!
1:13:24 > 1:13:28It was democratic - I AM chairman of the works committee
1:13:28 > 1:13:33Oh, yes, and don't we all know it?
1:13:33 > 1:13:39We're sick of it - union this, union that, blasted Soviet Union!
1:13:39 > 1:13:46There IS a strike on, Mother.
1:13:40 > 1:13:46And the strike's spread to this house from now on!
1:13:49 > 1:13:54Cynthia, pack our bags, we're going back to Auntie Edie's!
1:13:54 > 1:13:58You wanted a strike, you've got one.
1:13:58 > 1:14:01When you feel like working, I will.
1:14:01 > 1:14:07And listen, here's another strike that's 100% solid!
1:14:10 > 1:14:13DOOR SLAMS SHUT
1:15:12 > 1:15:18'This is the BBC Home Service. Here is the 9am news.'
1:15:18 > 1:15:22The Transberberite government has cancelled its
1:15:22 > 1:15:26one-and-three-quarter-million-pound contract
1:15:26 > 1:15:29with Missiles Ltd in view of the strike there.
1:15:29 > 1:15:35The contract has been re-allocated to another British firm,
1:15:35 > 1:15:38'Union Jack Foundries Ltd of Clapton.
1:15:38 > 1:15:43'Mr Sidney De Vere Cox of Union Jack said,

1:16:00 > 1:16:04We'll be there in twenty minutes.
1:16:04 > 1:16:08What a fine morning!
1:16:05 > 1:16:08Couldn't be better. It's in the bag.
1:16:08 > 1:16:14To quote your proverb, we have the bird by the bush in the hand.
1:16:22 > 1:16:24HORN BLARES
1:16:24 > 1:16:27Well, here we are.
1:16:41 > 1:16:46Where are you going?
1:16:43 > 1:16:46We're on strike, guv.
1:16:44 > 1:16:46What for?
1:16:46 > 1:16:51In sympathy with Missiles.
1:16:48 > 1:16:51What about a bit of sympathy for me?
1:16:51 > 1:16:53Mr Cox...
1:16:51 > 1:16:53SHUT UP!
1:17:11 > 1:17:15'Industrial crisis provides a challenge.
1:17:15 > 1:17:18'But the nation remains calm,
1:17:18 > 1:17:21'because it has leadership
1:17:21 > 1:17:25'that is bold, tolerant, yet decisive.'
1:17:25 > 1:17:28I see great principles at stake.
1:17:28 > 1:17:32As Minister of Labour, I shall not interfere
1:17:32 > 1:17:37with those great principles which I deem to be at stake.
1:17:37 > 1:17:43The Trades Union Congress has met, and on behalf of my colleagues,
1:17:43 > 1:17:49I can say that we are not prepared to endorse the strike officially,
1:17:49 > 1:17:52nor to condemn it.
1:17:52 > 1:17:56Unions are free to make their own decisions.
1:17:56 > 1:18:00But the General Council calls upon employers
1:18:00 > 1:18:05to exercise restraint and avoid provocation.
1:18:05 > 1:18:09'But other vital forces are at work.

1:18:17 > 1:18:22Let's buy 'im off!
1:18:19 > 1:18:22Too risky. What's this Kite like?
1:18:22 > 1:18:26Sort of chap who sleeps in his vest.
1:18:26 > 1:18:29Looks like we'll have to climb down.
1:18:29 > 1:18:32But they're not feeling the pinch yet.
1:18:32 > 1:18:37Well, I bloody am! I might lose the contract.
1:18:37 > 1:18:40Yes, the nation's interests must come first.
1:18:40 > 1:18:45Just go back to the old schedules and sack this berk Windrush.
1:18:45 > 1:18:50I can't sack him while he has the press behind him.
1:18:50 > 1:18:55Will somebody please find out what this Kite will settle for?
1:18:56 > 1:18:59Hitchcock, you'll have to go.
1:19:57 > 1:20:00KNOCK AT DOOR
1:20:04 > 1:20:06MILK BOTTLES FALL OVER
1:20:16 > 1:20:22Oh!
1:20:17 > 1:20:22Oh! Hello. I thought you might be out on a spree.
1:20:22 > 1:20:27And what might you want?
1:20:24 > 1:20:27I hope it's not an inconvenient time.
1:20:27 > 1:20:31It might be.
1:20:28 > 1:20:31I wonder if I could have a word.
1:20:31 > 1:20:34I dare say you could, yes.
1:20:40 > 1:20:43What a charming little place!
1:20:43 > 1:20:48- How's the lady wife and daughter? - They're on holiday.
1:20:48 > 1:20:52I suppose it's hard to get back with the strike on.
1:20:52 > 1:20:54I dare say.
1:20:54 > 1:20:58I came round to help you settle this strike.
1:20:58 > 1:21:03Help?
1:20:59 > 1:21:03Of course! I'm on your side in this.
1:21:03 > 1:21:08If they'd listened to me, there wouldn't have been a strike!
1:21:06 > 1:21:08- I- never wanted it.
1:21:08 > 1:21:13The directors are shockers! They're looking silly now!
1:21:13 > 1:21:16Typical!
1:21:16 > 1:21:20- Now, they're more likely to listen to what- I- say.
1:21:22 > 1:21:24I see.
1:21:24 > 1:21:30Perhaps you'd care to sit down, Major.
1:21:27 > 1:21:30Oh, thank you.
1:21:30 > 1:21:36Do you imbibe?
1:21:32 > 1:21:36What a splendid idea!
1:21:34 > 1:21:36Good!
1:21:40 > 1:21:44Supposing I got them to drop the new timings?
1:21:44 > 1:21:50No, they would have to admit that these timings was unworkable.
1:21:50 > 1:21:54I would agree to the job being timed,
1:21:54 > 1:21:58but only under the supervision of the works committee.
1:21:58 > 1:22:02- Very reasonable! Cheers. - Cheers.
1:22:02 > 1:22:04Of course, Windrush would have to go.
1:22:04 > 1:22:11Get the men back to work, then I'll sack Windrush when this blows over.
1:22:11 > 1:22:15No, he would have to go first.
1:22:15 > 1:22:18Oh, that IS a snag, isn't it?
1:22:22 > 1:22:25Perhaps you'd like a refill, Major.
1:22:25 > 1:22:29Oh! If you're twisting my arm!
1:22:29 > 1:22:32Windrush is the real problem.
1:22:32 > 1:22:37How do we get rid of him and avoid a public stink?
1:22:37 > 1:22:41CHEERING OUTSIDE I shan't be able to answer all these!
1:22:41 > 1:22:45Put an acknowledgement in the Times' personal column.
1:22:45 > 1:22:50Good Lord, Spencer, what now?
1:22:48 > 1:22:50Another present just arrived.
1:22:50 > 1:22:54Don't bring any more, there isn't room.
1:22:54 > 1:22:57Take all the flowers to the hospital.
1:22:57 > 1:22:59Yes, ma'am.
1:23:05 > 1:23:09"For your fight against the rising cost of living,
1:23:09 > 1:23:15"this gift comes from five ladies living on fixed incomes."
1:23:15 > 1:23:22How very kind, Stanley!
1:23:17 > 1:23:22Jolly kind indeed, Aunt!
1:23:19 > 1:23:22Just listen to all that cheering.
1:23:22 > 1:23:26How long have they been there?
1:23:24 > 1:23:26Hours, dear.
1:23:26 > 1:23:30What a nation we British are, once we are stirred!
1:23:30 > 1:23:35CROWD SINGS "Land Of Hope And Glory"
1:23:40 > 1:23:46..children of Babylon are destroyed and become an abomination...
1:23:46 > 1:23:51Three cheers for Mr Churchill and Stanley Windrush! Hip hip...
1:23:51 > 1:23:56# We want Stanley! We want Stanley! #
1:23:58 > 1:24:01What can you do with women?
1:24:03 > 1:24:05Thank you.
1:24:05 > 1:24:11Say, you DO appreciate my position, don't you?
1:24:11 > 1:24:17Yes, to a degree, but why's the stinker here in the first place?
1:24:17 > 1:24:21There. Not exactly invisible, but it'll keep the draught out.
1:24:21 > 1:24:25Takes you time to find who your friends are.
1:24:27 > 1:24:33Of course, I've been betrayed.
1:24:30 > 1:24:33We've all been betrayed, old chap.
1:24:33 > 1:24:38Do you think she'll come back?
1:24:35 > 1:24:38Mine didn't. Thank God!
1:24:39 > 1:24:45I dunno, I always give her the best I could provide,
1:24:45 > 1:24:48she's always fit and well.
1:24:48 > 1:24:51It ain't as if she's overworked!
1:24:52 > 1:24:55You see...
1:24:55 > 1:25:00'Ere, that's it, that's it - overworked!
1:25:02 > 1:25:05Ill health brought on by overwork!
1:25:06 > 1:25:12I thought you said she was fit.
1:25:08 > 1:25:12Not her, Windrush! That's how we get rid of him.
1:25:12 > 1:25:19He resigns on account of ill health brought on by overwork.
1:25:21 > 1:25:24Kite, that's absolutely bang on!
1:25:24 > 1:25:30Ill health through working the new schedules!
1:25:26 > 1:25:30Yes!
1:25:27 > 1:25:30(LAUGHS) The best of British luck!
1:25:30 > 1:25:36Will he do it?
1:25:32 > 1:25:36He'll trust his uncle.
1:25:36 > 1:25:41CHEERING OUTSIDE
1:25:36 > 1:25:41But I'm perfectly fit, Uncle!
1:25:38 > 1:25:41I know! This is just a formula.
1:25:41 > 1:25:44Used every day. Army politics.
1:25:44 > 1:25:49Stop worrying. Resignation would be far too easy a way out.
1:25:49 > 1:25:52I'm NOT going to let you down now.
1:25:52 > 1:25:55I appreciate that, but...
1:25:55 > 1:25:59No, no, Uncle, I wouldn't dream of it.
1:25:59 > 1:26:03I'm not having you lose the contract AND your principles.
1:26:03 > 1:26:06To hell with my principles!
1:26:06 > 1:26:12They're still calling for you, Stanley, you MUST show yourself.
1:26:12 > 1:26:17Oh, Aunt Dolly, must I?
1:26:13 > 1:26:17Indeed, and you too, Bertie.
1:26:19 > 1:26:20DOOR OPENS
1:26:20 > 1:26:22CHEERING
1:26:25 > 1:26:28(Quiet!)
1:26:28 > 1:26:33Tonight at 8.30 we are showing our discussion programme Argument.
1:26:33 > 1:26:37The subject is the industrial strike.
1:26:37 > 1:26:44We'll have some of the leading people connected with the strike.
1:26:44 > 1:26:49You'll hear spokesmen for the management, the shop stewards,
1:26:49 > 1:26:54and Mr Stanley Windrush, the cause of the strike.
1:26:54 > 1:26:58The chairman will be Malcolm Muggeridge,
1:26:58 > 1:27:00so don't forget to look in at 8.30.
1:27:05 > 1:27:10Hang your things in here, then come down to the make-up room.
1:27:10 > 1:27:11Thank you.
1:27:39 > 1:27:43That's right, Stan - it's yours.
1:27:43 > 1:27:47Coxie! What are you doing here?
1:27:47 > 1:27:50That's your cut - my idea.
1:27:51 > 1:27:56My cut?
1:27:53 > 1:27:56We wouldn't leave you out!
1:27:56 > 1:27:59But you must do what your uncle says.
1:28:00 > 1:28:02What?
1:28:02 > 1:28:08Resign on grounds of ill health.
1:28:05 > 1:28:08I've had all this out with Uncle.
1:28:09 > 1:28:15Now look, me old Stan, this is a bit delicate.
1:28:15 > 1:28:22Bertie wouldn't let me tell you, but if you stay, the strike goes on,
1:28:22 > 1:28:25and we all lose 100,000 smackers.
1:28:25 > 1:28:32Who's "we"?
1:28:27 > 1:28:32Well, there's me, your uncle Bertie and that Mahommed fellow.
1:28:33 > 1:28:38Nonsense! Uncle's firm's already lost the contract!
1:28:38 > 1:28:42Well, yes, in a way -
1:28:42 > 1:28:45to me, Union Jack Foundries.
1:28:45 > 1:28:49It's business - high finance and that.
1:28:49 > 1:28:53You mean Uncle stirred all this up?
1:28:53 > 1:28:58Yes, with your help, don't forget. Only it's got to stop now.
1:28:58 > 1:29:04If you wanted to stop the strike, you should have talked to Mr Kite.
1:29:04 > 1:29:10We have, Stan. Very amicable, too. He suggested the ill-health lark.
1:29:13 > 1:29:17There we are, Mr Kite. >
1:29:15 > 1:29:17Thank you, miss.
1:29:17 > 1:29:20Ask the girl to find Mr Windrush.
1:29:20 > 1:29:26If you blabbed, your uncle would go inside.
1:29:26 > 1:29:31Kill your Aunt Dolly, that would. Anyway, I prefer to be honest.
1:29:31 > 1:29:38Quite a change for you.
1:29:34 > 1:29:38Yes, well, you take my advice, Stan.
1:29:38 > 1:29:44On the ol' telly, get up quietly and tell 'em you want to resign.
1:29:46 > 1:29:48Ta-ta.
1:29:54 > 1:29:56KNOCK AT DOOR
1:29:56 > 1:29:59Make-up's ready, Mr Windrush.
1:29:59 > 1:30:04Mr Windrush? They're waiting for you.
1:30:04 > 1:30:06Oh! Yes, of course.
1:30:18 > 1:30:21On in five seconds. Quiet, please.

1:30:30 > 1:30:35Argument - the programme that puts YOU in the picture!
1:30:48 > 1:30:54Good evening. The subject in everyone's mind is the strike.
1:30:54 > 1:30:57'Some think the economy is in danger...'
1:30:57 > 1:31:02LAUGHTER
1:30:59 > 1:31:02Turn it up!
1:31:02 > 1:31:07Others feel the living standards of the workers have been attacked
1:31:07 > 1:31:11by the employers, in breach of contract.
1:31:11 > 1:31:17We have four people intimately concerned in this unhappy situation.
1:31:17 > 1:31:25On my right, his Excellency Mr Mahommed, and Mr Tracepurcel,
1:31:25 > 1:31:30then on my left Mr Kite and Mr Windrush.
1:31:30 > 1:31:37Before they face the audience, I'll ask each of them for a statement.
1:31:37 > 1:31:39Firstly, Mr Kite.
1:31:39 > 1:31:45As chairman of the works committee at Missiles, where do you stand?
1:31:47 > 1:31:53Oh, yes. Erm, the situation is quite straightforward.
1:31:54 > 1:32:00Trades unionists have always been concerned with, er, FOR efficiency,
1:32:00 > 1:32:03and for the individual worker.
1:32:03 > 1:32:05And it is...
1:32:06 > 1:32:12It is for that reason that we oppose the attempt of the management
1:32:12 > 1:32:17to overwork the men on the job.
1:32:14 > 1:32:17'Ear, 'ear.
1:32:17 > 1:32:22It is for that reason that we oppose blackleg labour.
1:32:22 > 1:32:27'Ear, 'ear!
1:32:24 > 1:32:27And it is for that same reason...
1:32:33 > 1:32:37It is for that same reason that we oppose...
1:32:38 > 1:32:41Erm...that reason...
1:32:41 > 1:32:43we oppose.
1:32:43 > 1:32:48'Ear, 'ear!
1:32:45 > 1:32:48Thank you, you've made that point.
1:32:48 > 1:32:53Now Mr Windrush, a worker at Missiles,
1:32:53 > 1:32:56< ..who may be the "odd man in".
1:32:56 > 1:32:59Mr Windrush, what have YOU to say?
1:33:08 > 1:33:10Mr Windrush!
1:33:13 > 1:33:16I'm going to find it pretty difficult
1:33:16 > 1:33:20to say what I want to say in a few words.
1:33:21 > 1:33:24I'm only just catching on now.
1:33:26 > 1:33:32As my friend Knowlesy would have said, I must have been dead stupid.
1:33:32 > 1:33:35< I've swallowed everything -
1:33:35 > 1:33:41all the phoney patriotic claptrap of the employers,
1:33:41 > 1:33:46until my head's reeling with the stink of it all. >
1:33:48 > 1:33:51But nobody notices the smell any more...
1:33:52 > 1:33:59..and they're so deaf they can't even hear the fiddles - they don't WANT to.
1:33:59 > 1:34:03It's all, "Blow you, Jack, I'M all right."
1:34:03 > 1:34:07- On a point of order... - You WOULD have a point of order!
1:34:07 > 1:34:11- This'll be a beaut! - The proper procedure...
1:34:11 > 1:34:16Oh, shut up, Fred!
1:34:12 > 1:34:16Mum!
1:34:13 > 1:34:16Hang a chap without a hearing!
1:34:16 > 1:34:22Is that what they do in the Soviet Union?
1:34:18 > 1:34:22My politics is private.
1:34:22 > 1:34:27Your politics? "To each according to his needs, FROM each as little as he can get away with."
1:34:27 > 1:34:30And no overtime except on Sundays at double the rate.
1:34:30 > 1:34:33Fine way to build a new Jerusalem(!)
1:34:33 > 1:34:37Mr Chairman, we should act fairly.
1:34:37 > 1:34:41Ha! When a deal's fair for Uncle Bertie,
1:34:41 > 1:34:49it's unfair for the rest of us!
1:34:44 > 1:34:49Sit down, Stanley.
1:34:46 > 1:34:49You wave such a big Union Jack,
1:34:49 > 1:34:52nobody can see what you're up to behind it.
1:34:52 > 1:34:55- What are you playing at? - Not your game!
1:34:55 > 1:34:58- This is outrageous! - 'You cheated Aunt Dolly!
1:34:58 > 1:35:05'Leave Mother out of this.'
1:34:59 > 1:35:05Upon my soul!
1:35:00 > 1:35:05You're a bounder, Uncle Bertie, an old-fashioned bounder.
1:35:05 > 1:35:08Cad!
1:35:07 > 1:35:08Humbug!
1:35:08 > 1:35:10Traitor!
1:35:09 > 1:35:10Twister!
1:35:10 > 1:35:12Snake!
1:35:10 > 1:35:12Skunk!
1:35:12 > 1:35:14Gentlemen, please!
1:35:14 > 1:35:20We want the facts!
1:35:16 > 1:35:20I've got the facts over here!
1:35:22 > 1:35:25Here they are, hundreds of them!
1:35:28 > 1:35:33These are the only "facts" that interest anybody here.
1:35:33 > 1:35:37This is ALL they want - something for nothing!

1:36:03 > 1:36:06normal service will be resumed as possible.
1:36:06 > 1:36:11Ain't it marvellous? Just when they was getting warmed up.
1:36:13 > 1:36:16Brothers, use your self-control!
1:36:21 > 1:36:23That's mine!
1:36:35 > 1:36:39(WAILS)
1:36:37 > 1:36:39Here, what's the idea?
1:36:47 > 1:36:52This is the sort of conduct society can never tolerate.
1:36:52 > 1:36:56You instigated these disorderly scenes, and saw fit
1:36:56 > 1:37:00< to attack your employer,
1:37:00 > 1:37:04< a man entitled to your loyalty.
1:37:04 > 1:37:08< You also impugned your fellow workers
1:37:08 > 1:37:11< in the person of Mr Kite.
1:37:11 > 1:37:14< He offered you comradeship -
1:37:14 > 1:37:17< his reward has been your spite.

1:37:33 > 1:37:35You shut up too!
1:37:35 > 1:37:40Nevertheless, your victims have behaved with generosity.
1:37:40 > 1:37:44< Mr Mahommed has invoked diplomatic immunity,
1:37:44 > 1:37:48< Mr Tracepurcel and Mr Kite insist
1:37:48 > 1:37:52< that you are ill due to overwork.
1:37:52 > 1:37:58I am prepared to accept that your conduct was due to mental imbalance.
1:37:58 > 1:38:01< Provided that you seek medical aid,
1:38:01 > 1:38:06< you will be bound over to keep the peace for the period of one year.

1:38:27 > 1:38:29Yes.
1:38:29 > 1:38:34Different from all that rushing out there, eh, Stanley?
1:38:34 > 1:38:38Yes, Father.
1:38:35 > 1:38:38We've turned our backs on all that.
1:38:38 > 1:38:42We're only interested in the simple things.

1:39:02 > 1:39:04I bet you're jolly good!
