0:02:00 > 0:02:07- Mr BIRNLEY: - Now that calm and sanity have returned to the textile industry,
0:02:07 > 0:02:11I feel it my duty to reveal the story behind the recent crisis.
0:02:11 > 0:02:16Happily, we kept the story out of the newspapers!
0:02:16 > 0:02:20The trouble began, not in my own mill,
0:02:20 > 0:02:27but during my visit to Michael Corland's mill, which makes an artificial fibre like mine.
0:02:27 > 0:02:32Corland is a personable young man who has impressed my daughter (!)
0:02:32 > 0:02:35And he wanted me to believe
0:02:35 > 0:02:39that his mill was a sound investment.
0:02:39 > 0:02:45- - We produce 6 millions yards of filament a day.- HOW many (?) - 6 million. Don't we, Hill ?
0:02:45 > 0:02:51- 6 million FEET, Mr Corland. - Feet - of course.- Of course (!)
0:02:51 > 0:02:56Good morning! I'm lunching with Mr Corland and my father.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59Would you care to...?
0:03:00 > 0:03:06- Michael ! Hello, Daddy. - Don't interrupt. I'm having an illuminating tour.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09- This way, Mr Birnley.- Thank you.
0:03:11 > 0:03:16- How's it going?- Sticky. - Why, what did he say?
0:03:16 > 0:03:22- Nothing. That's the trouble. - It's his "kingpin of industry" act. Don't let it get you down.
0:03:22 > 0:03:27I'm sure he'll put up the money you want.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29CRASH !
0:03:29 > 0:03:32Sorry...sir (!)
0:03:32 > 0:03:34Come on!
0:03:36 > 0:03:41- It's hardly up to Birnley's. - Quite (!)
0:03:41 > 0:03:44Step this way, sir.
0:03:45 > 0:03:49< SOUNDS OF BUBBLING LIQUID
0:03:53 > 0:03:56BUBBLING AND BURPING
0:03:57 > 0:03:59Just a moment, Green...
0:04:03 > 0:04:05What's this?
0:04:05 > 0:04:07I really couldn't say.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10Mr Green!
0:04:10 > 0:04:12Perhaps you'd explain. >
0:04:12 > 0:04:16BUBBLING CONTINUES MERRILY
0:04:16 > 0:04:19Well, it's...er...
0:04:22 > 0:04:24Obviously, it's...
0:04:26 > 0:04:29< Mr Wilkins! Yes, sir.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35Is this yours?
0:04:35 > 0:04:36No, sir.

0:04:45 > 0:04:48Yours? No, sir.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50I thought it was his.
0:04:50 > 0:04:55- Does it matter? - Merely a matter of interest.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57Fotheringay! >
0:04:57 > 0:05:00Could you spare us a moment? >
0:05:05 > 0:05:07What is this?

0:05:12 > 0:05:14Don't you know?
0:05:14 > 0:05:18It was a special job. Who for?
0:05:27 > 0:05:31Come along! Who authorised it?
0:05:31 > 0:05:33Apparently you did.
0:05:33 > 0:05:37BABBLE OF VOICES ARGUING
0:05:47 > 0:05:52It can't just have grown there! Mr Hill, find out.
0:05:52 > 0:05:57Mr Green, check Accounts. Take them the order number.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01Three seven eight two five.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06Three seven eight two five...
0:06:11 > 0:06:17- Sorry, I shouldn't ask questions. - On the contrary! Shall we have lunch?
0:06:17 > 0:06:21I think you've seen everything.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25Three seven eight two five.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30Here it is.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43Four thousand pounds ?!
0:06:50 > 0:06:54Spent on WHAT ? Hydrogen, heavy hydrogen.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56This is nonsense!
0:07:01 > 0:07:09I'm aiming at designs combining the strength and simplicity of English hand-loom weavers
0:07:09 > 0:07:13with Flemish colour and fire.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15- If I had £100,000... - Ahem.
0:07:17 > 0:07:22- Excuse me, sir...- After lunch. - It's VERY urgent.- AFTER lunch.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24Where was I ?
0:07:24 > 0:07:29- Don't let us keep you from anything vital.- It's nothing.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37VIOLENT CHOKING
0:07:38 > 0:07:41What is it, Michael ?
0:07:41 > 0:07:44It's nothing. Excuse me, please.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49 Mr Wilkins!
0:07:49 > 0:07:52< Mr Corland wants you, in Accounts.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00Mr Harrison!
0:08:00 > 0:08:03 They want you, too, in Accounts.
0:08:11 > 0:08:16Could you tell me where Mr Corland is?
0:08:20 > 0:08:22BUBBLING >
0:08:27 > 0:08:29< Stratton!
0:08:29 > 0:08:32< Mr Corland wants you.
0:08:40 > 0:08:47Mr Corland, you can't fire me. I resign. I did what I did because there was no other way.
0:08:47 > 0:08:53I had a menial job here, but Cambridge gave me a Fellowship. I should be there still.
0:08:53 > 0:08:58But they were short-sighted, just as you are.
0:08:58 > 0:09:03One day, someone with vision will give me a laboratory,
0:09:03 > 0:09:08a proper laboratory with MODERN equipment...
0:09:09 > 0:09:15..and assistants of my own. Small minds like yours stand in the way of progress.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18But this is bigger than you...
0:09:48 > 0:09:54- I see you've been discharged from your last six positions. - Seven.- Oh.
0:09:54 > 0:10:00- Perhaps a change of environment... - It must be a textile mill.
0:10:00 > 0:10:05- There's a vacancy at Birnley's, but...- They have a research lab!
0:10:05 > 0:10:11- It hardly suits your qualifications. They want a works labourer. - That'll suit me.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34Nice place to leave it (!)
0:10:56 > 0:10:59- Sorry!- Don't mention it.
0:11:01 > 0:11:05- You have it loaded too heavy. - Have I ?
0:11:05 > 0:11:11- Load it so you can see over the top. - Oh yes, of course. Thanks.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14- New, aren't you?- Yes.
0:11:17 > 0:11:21- Never worked in a mill before? - Yes, several times.
0:11:21 > 0:11:27I know! Leave school... into the first blind-alley job that comes along...
0:11:27 > 0:11:33too old for that, into another and another... by the time you're 30, what are you?
0:11:33 > 0:11:39Flotsam, floating on the flood-tide of profit. That's capitalism!
0:11:39 > 0:11:42It wasn't quite like that.
0:11:42 > 0:11:51- I got a scholarship to Cambridge. - But you hadn't got an old school tie. Discrimination. I've seen plenty!
0:11:51 > 0:11:58- Where were you going with this lot? - The loading bay.- You're going the wrong way. It's down there.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01SIREN Tea up! Better leave it.
0:12:01 > 0:12:07- Tea? No thanks. - TEA BREAK. We had to fight for it!
0:12:58 > 0:13:02 Better get help. It's very delicate.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05Pete, give us a hand!
0:13:05 > 0:13:08Get these gentlemen some overalls.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11Where's Sid?
0:13:12 > 0:13:14Sid! >
0:13:16 > 0:13:18Sid! >
0:13:22 > 0:13:24Where's it to go?
0:13:24 > 0:13:29Up to the lab. It's an electro... > An electron microscope.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36Ah. At last! > I'll check this out.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48Beautiful job!
0:13:53 > 0:13:55No!
0:13:56 > 0:14:01You must have the filament on before you switch on.
0:14:01 > 0:14:07- Otherwise you'll put 4,000 volts through the cathode, blow it up. - Quite!
0:14:12 > 0:14:19- That's the specimen stage, I suppose. - The intermediate alignment section. THIS is the specimen stage.
0:14:29 > 0:14:34Could you spare someone for a while, till we get the hang of it?
0:14:34 > 0:14:40- What, me? - Not necessarily you, yourself. One of your assistants, perhaps.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42Oh...
0:14:42 > 0:14:44I see.
0:14:45 > 0:14:49Well, I think perhaps I might manage it.
0:14:50 > 0:14:55- It might be quite convenient. - You're not too busy?
0:14:55 > 0:14:58There ARE a few things, but...
0:14:58 > 0:15:04- Could you let me have a corner of a bench?- Certainly. See to that, Wilson.
0:15:08 > 0:15:14I couldn't say, I'm sure. Tell her she can pay on Friday. He didn't say nothing this morning.
0:15:17 > 0:15:23- Sid, what's all this? Harry says you've quit.- Yes.- Why?
0:15:23 > 0:15:27- You see... - You got the sack?- Oh, no.
0:15:27 > 0:15:34- I got another job.- Where? - At Birnley's, too. - You haven't quit?- Yes and no.
0:15:34 > 0:15:39- I'm in the laboratory.- A better job. - Yes.- More money?
0:15:39 > 0:15:41- I shan't get paid.- What?!
0:15:42 > 0:15:44< We'll see about that!
0:15:44 > 0:15:50- Scab labour! I'll tell the Works Committee. - I don't WANT to be paid.
0:15:50 > 0:15:57- You've GOT to be paid! - That'll ruin everything. It's only for a few weeks.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00What will you do for money?
0:16:02 > 0:16:08It's a lot to ask, Mrs Watson, but can I owe you the rent for a couple of weeks?
0:16:08 > 0:16:12- I shan't need food. - No food (?)- I'll get it somewhere.
0:16:12 > 0:16:17- Of course you can stay, Mr Stratton. - Thanks very much indeed.
0:16:44 > 0:16:49- Sid, are you in trouble? - No, everything's fine.
0:16:51 > 0:16:55I've...got some money in the post office.
0:16:55 > 0:16:59Not much, but have it if you need it.
0:16:59 > 0:17:04I get what I need at the lab. But I'll let you know. Thanks.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08Any time.
0:17:12 > 0:17:17I'm even glad, Michael, that you get no money from Father.
0:17:17 > 0:17:22I'm freer to say we'll get married as soon as you like.
0:17:22 > 0:17:29- Er...you're very sweet, but I won't let you.- What do you mean?
0:17:29 > 0:17:36I won't let you marry me in a fit of temper. Not till you can do it in perfectly cold blood.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39I must be off.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43I'll look in some other direction.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56- Daddy.- Thought you'd gone, Daphne.
0:17:56 > 0:18:04- I know what you think of Michael. You think all he wants is my money.- Mine.
0:18:04 > 0:18:11- It just so happens you're wrong. He'll find some other way to do the things he wants.- Splendid!
0:18:11 > 0:18:15- And he still wants ME.- I'm glad.
0:18:15 > 0:18:19So now, will you change your mind about him?
0:18:19 > 0:18:25- Despite what I saw in his mills? No.- You blame HIM for that lunatic in the place?
0:18:25 > 0:18:30- It might have happened to anyone. - The Birnley Mill (?)
0:18:30 > 0:18:36I'm SICK of the Birnley Mill. The sooner I leave home, the happier I shall be!
0:18:42 > 0:18:43Sorry.

0:20:32 > 0:20:36So you're working for him now. Does he know?
0:20:36 > 0:20:42- I can't WAIT to tell him! - Miss Birnley, no! Miss Birnley... - Get off!
0:20:42 > 0:20:49Give me two more days...one! It's more important than anything. It'll astound the world!
0:20:58 > 0:21:06- Look...you know the problem of polymerising amino acid residues? - WHAT did you say?
0:21:06 > 0:21:12- Do you know what a long-chain molecule is?- A what?
0:21:12 > 0:21:15- Do you know what a molecule is?- No.
0:21:17 > 0:21:22- Something like an atom? - That's it! Atoms stuck together.
0:21:22 > 0:21:27Cotton and silk, natural fibres, are made up of these chains.
0:21:27 > 0:21:35And we've learnt to make artificial fibres with longer chains, such as rayon and nylon.
0:21:35 > 0:21:38You've heard of nylon?
0:21:38 > 0:21:46I think I've co-polymerised amino acid residues and carbohydrate molecules, both with ionic groups.
0:21:46 > 0:21:53I believe I've got the catalyst to promote interaction between reactive groups and peptite chains.
0:21:53 > 0:21:59The charges of the ionic groups will confer valuable elastic properties...
0:22:01 > 0:22:11"..a great probability of polymerisation... to confer spinability..."

0:33:06 > 0:33:09And you'll get your equipment.
0:33:09 > 0:33:12Is there anything else?
0:33:14 > 0:33:20- Just one thing...- Yes, my boy? - I've been thinking about chain reactions.
0:33:20 > 0:33:23We ought to clear the lab.
0:33:23 > 0:33:28- Clear the lab (?) - As a precaution.- Secrecy, you mean?
0:33:28 > 0:33:30That, too!
0:33:30 > 0:33:37Very shrewd. See to it, Hoskins. Not a word must get out, even in the mills.

0:35:41 > 0:35:44Might be worse.

0:36:40 > 0:36:42Is there a story in it?
0:36:42 > 0:36:45Must be a stupid rumour.
0:36:45 > 0:36:49We are making some structural alterations (!)

0:39:32 > 0:39:35We've got it all right. Look!
0:39:35 > 0:39:40We've got the answer, Mr Birnley. We can go ahead now.
0:40:56 > 0:41:01Fortunately, there's a chemical change at 300 degrees centigrade.
0:41:11 > 0:41:14Quite remarkable!
0:41:14 > 0:41:20We shall have to do a little groundwork on that, of course.

0:41:29 > 0:41:34- Then there's the question of dyeing methods.- Excuse me.
0:41:34 > 0:41:40- The fibre is intractable. - It repels dye just as it repels dirt.
0:41:40 > 0:41:45We shall have to introduce the colouring matter earlier,
0:41:45 > 0:41:49while the polymer is still in the melt.
0:41:49 > 0:41:57- Seven...- You won't have difficulty stitching it. The needle will pass through the weave as usual.
0:41:57 > 0:42:04- If I could have paper patterns of the suit...- Patterns? - I'll need templates.
0:42:04 > 0:42:09- I'll have the pieces cut for you. - Shouldn't WE cut them out?
0:42:09 > 0:42:12I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to.

0:43:20 > 0:43:22It's still a bit luminous.
0:43:28 > 0:43:31- But it'll wear off.- Oh, no!- No?
0:43:31 > 0:43:36It makes you look like a knight in shining armour.
0:43:37 > 0:43:40- It's what you are.- Me (?)

0:44:18 > 0:44:24Well, with a heavy hydrogen, he might get a more complex molecule...
0:44:24 > 0:44:29- In plain language, yes or no? - It's...possible.

0:46:45 > 0:46:48Where is he? How much does he want?
0:46:49 > 0:46:57- We have Mr Birnley to contend with. Mr Birnley intends to manufacture and market this product.- Certainly.
0:46:57 > 0:47:02- Are you MAD ?- I consider it my duty to do it.
0:47:02 > 0:47:09- It'll knock out primary producers. - Sheep farmers, cotton growers... - Importers and middle-men...
0:47:09 > 0:47:13Stick to the point. What about US ?
0:47:13 > 0:47:19I admit some individuals may suffer temporarily, but I will not stand in the way of progress.
0:47:19 > 0:47:24- The community comes first. - YOU won't suffer much.- Michael !
0:47:24 > 0:47:28- It's the greatest step forward... - Forward?!
0:47:28 > 0:47:34- It means disaster.- Disaster? Was the Spinning Jenny a disaster, or the mechanical loom?
0:47:34 > 0:47:38For some, yes. This will FINISH output.
0:47:38 > 0:47:41Just arriving now, sir.

0:47:55 > 0:47:57- Sid!- Hello, Bertha, hello.
0:47:57 > 0:48:04- What have they DONE to you? - It's what I'VE done. We're announcing it to the press.
0:48:04 > 0:48:07- What?- My new fibre.- Mind!
0:48:13 > 0:48:16Mr Corland, in Mr Birnley's office.

0:48:19 > 0:48:22- And never wears out?- That's right.
0:48:22 > 0:48:26- What d'you think? Will they go ahead with it? - Certainly.
0:48:26 > 0:48:29You're not even born yet!
0:48:29 > 0:48:34What happened to the others... the razor that never gets blunt?
0:48:34 > 0:48:36The car that runs on water?
0:48:36 > 0:48:41No, they'll never let your stuff on the market in a million years.
0:48:41 > 0:48:46- He's right. The dead hand of monopoly.- It's not like that!
0:48:46 > 0:48:51Everything's organised. We're going right ahead.
0:48:51 > 0:48:56- But if this stuff never wears out, we'll only make one lot.- Right!
0:48:56 > 0:48:58There you are!
0:48:58 > 0:49:03First, I want to apologise. I didn't recognise a genius.
0:49:03 > 0:49:08- Excuse me, sir...- I've come from Mr Birnley. One or two things...

0:49:12 > 0:49:17Lovely! Six months' work, and every mill will be laid off.
0:49:17 > 0:49:20It's Birnley! Sidney wouldn't do that.
0:49:20 > 0:49:25Something ought to be done. We'll get the Works Committee out.
0:49:26 > 0:49:31I might offer it to other manufacturers, under licence.
0:49:31 > 0:49:38- You want to build another fortune! - May I point out that I control this process?
0:49:38 > 0:49:41- Do you?- Of course I do!
0:49:41 > 0:49:43A sordid detail, Sir John.
0:49:43 > 0:49:50- Well ?- Stratton's diary of his first successful experiment is dated September 15th.

0:59:09 > 0:59:15- How well ? - We're very good friends. Why not?
0:59:15 > 0:59:18It may be useful to us. PHONE RINGS
0:59:20 > 0:59:23I thought I told you... It's for you.
0:59:27 > 0:59:29Sit down, Miss Birnley.
0:59:34 > 0:59:40 Miss Birnley, we're trying to buy the world rights of Mr Stratton's new discovery.
0:59:40 > 0:59:43 But he doesn't trust us.
0:59:43 > 0:59:46Doesn't he? Why not?
0:59:46 > 0:59:50You're the daughter of an industrialist.
0:59:50 > 0:59:55You understand how reckless exploitation of anything new
0:59:55 > 1:00:00upsets the balance of trade. I'm beginning to.
1:00:00 > 1:00:02Good.
1:00:02 > 1:00:05You want to suppress it.
1:00:07 > 1:00:12- But if YOU can't persuade him, why should- I- be able to?
1:00:17 > 1:00:23All men are susceptible, Miss Birnley. I need hardly say... you're very attractive.
1:00:25 > 1:00:27Thank you.
1:00:30 > 1:00:33Michael, what do YOU say? >
1:00:33 > 1:00:38It's a desperate situation, Daphne, for the....um...whole industry.
1:00:42 > 1:00:43Yes.
1:00:43 > 1:00:46I'm beginning to realise that.
1:00:46 > 1:00:49No need to explain what's at stake.
1:00:49 > 1:00:54- You can see for yourself. - I can, indeed.
1:00:54 > 1:00:58- But, on the subject of price, what do- I- get out of it?
1:00:58 > 1:01:00- Miss Birnley! - Daphne!
1:01:00 > 1:01:06I haven't much experience of such things, but I always understood it was well paid.
1:01:06 > 1:01:08HORRIFIED UPROAR
1:01:08 > 1:01:11I suggest two thousand.
1:01:11 > 1:01:15Isn't that a little low? What about five thousand?
1:01:15 > 1:01:19 Five thousand. Agreed. Agreed.
1:01:19 > 1:01:24- It's a pleasure to do business with you, Sir John.- Well, Daphne?
1:01:40 > 1:01:43And about time, too (!)
1:01:56 > 1:01:59I want to talk to you, Sidney.
1:01:59 > 1:02:03I never thought YOU would be on their side.
1:02:05 > 1:02:11You may not believe me, Sidney, but I want what's best for you.
1:02:14 > 1:02:18I...I don't like this any more than you do.
1:02:18 > 1:02:23I hate this town...the mill... everything..
1:02:23 > 1:02:27people who think of nothing but money-grubbing.
1:02:29 > 1:02:32- Don't you feel like that?- Yes.
1:02:34 > 1:02:37I want to get away, Sidney.
1:02:37 > 1:02:42I want to see something of the world beyond this dirty little town,
1:02:42 > 1:02:47to make a life where there are people who know how to live.
1:02:47 > 1:02:50Italy, maybe...
1:02:50 > 1:02:51France...
1:02:51 > 1:02:53Well, why don't you?
1:02:53 > 1:02:55I can't.
1:02:55 > 1:02:57But YOU could.
1:02:57 > 1:03:00And YOU could take ME.
1:03:04 > 1:03:05How?
1:03:08 > 1:03:15I know what they offered you. You could live for the rest of your life on it, go anywhere you please.
1:03:15 > 1:03:18And if you want me...
1:03:20 > 1:03:22I'd come, too.
1:03:46 > 1:03:48What's wrong?
1:03:49 > 1:03:51I'm sorry...no.
1:03:53 > 1:03:55Not even if it means me?
1:03:56 > 1:03:57No.
1:03:57 > 1:04:00Thank you, Sidney.
1:04:00 > 1:04:05- What for?- If you'd said "yes", I'd have strangled you!
1:04:05 > 1:04:10We MUST tell the newspapers the whole story.
1:04:10 > 1:04:14- That'll blow the lid off everything!- How?
1:04:24 > 1:04:27Would you stake your life on this?
1:04:28 > 1:04:32Issue a categorial denial to the press.
1:04:32 > 1:04:34The stuff does not exist.
1:04:34 > 1:04:39It has never been invented. It never COULD be.
1:04:39 > 1:04:43There is NO panic here whatsoever!
1:04:43 > 1:04:46Mr Birnley will confirm that!
1:04:47 > 1:04:48No, no!
1:04:48 > 1:04:56- Davidson, I told you to deal with them in your own way. - They've come out.- What?!- On strike.
1:04:56 > 1:05:00- Strike! - < The whole mill's out. I tried to telephone.
1:05:00 > 1:05:02You were engaged.
1:05:02 > 1:05:06Get them back, or there'll be a landslide!
1:05:06 > 1:05:09ALL SHOUTING AT ONCE
1:05:12 > 1:05:19- They want a guarantee that we're not going into production.- We don't intend to.- They won't take our word.
1:05:19 > 1:05:26It's insanity! They're afraid of being out of work, so they down tools. What am I to do?
1:05:26 > 1:05:31Get them up here, up to the house. I'll talk to them!
1:05:32 > 1:05:35What are you waiting for?
1:05:36 > 1:05:44- What guarantee CAN we give them? We don't control the thing. - I don't know. Sir John...
1:06:06 > 1:06:08C-R-A-S-H !
1:06:39 > 1:06:41TRAIN HOOTS
1:06:41 > 1:06:46It's only a matter of fivepence! You're VERY unreasonable.
1:06:52 > 1:06:57- Excuse me...- Right.- No, no... Have you got fivepence?- No coppers.
1:06:57 > 1:07:04I must get to Manchester. It's vital. I'll pay you back. I'll give you...a hundred pounds!
1:07:04 > 1:07:09- I've got money at my digs. - Better get it, then.
1:07:09 > 1:07:11And Frank...
1:07:11 > 1:07:13< It's Sid!
1:07:13 > 1:07:16< Hi...wait for me!
1:07:18 > 1:07:25- Sid, I want to talk to you! - Got to find a shilling. - But your room's let.
1:07:32 > 1:07:34- Where's that vase?- Who are you?
1:07:34 > 1:07:39 It's let to an old geezer. Oh, beg pardon!
1:07:39 > 1:07:42What's going on? Kindly leave!
1:07:42 > 1:07:44- Sid! - Sorry.
1:07:45 > 1:07:51- Did they try to soften you up? - They locked me in the attic. - But you got away!
1:07:51 > 1:07:58- I must go!- I'm going to a meeting. Wait till I tell them! What a trump card!
1:07:58 > 1:08:00- My train to Manchester...- What for?
1:08:00 > 1:08:07- To give the newspapers the story. - What story?!- My invention; how they tried to stop it. But they won't!
1:08:08 > 1:08:10Whose side are you on?!
1:08:10 > 1:08:14- The same as you. THEY want to stop it.- So do we!
1:08:22 > 1:08:24Sid, listen...
1:08:24 > 1:08:26Sid!
1:08:27 > 1:08:29Sid, don't go!
1:08:30 > 1:08:33Sid...look, Sid...Sid!
1:08:35 > 1:08:40ARGUING CONTINUES, WITH LOUD CRASHES AND THUDS
1:08:41 > 1:08:44Will you PLEASE stop...
1:08:44 > 1:08:47LOUDER CRASHING Please stop!
1:08:51 > 1:08:54I'll fetch Mrs Watson.
1:08:57 > 1:09:02SHE LOCKS DOOR You can't do that, that's MY room! Let him out.
1:09:02 > 1:09:06Not likely! I'll fetch the police.
1:09:06 > 1:09:10SIDNEY HAMMERS ON DOOR Wait a minute!
1:09:11 > 1:09:13SHE LOCKS DOOR
1:09:13 > 1:09:14Help!
1:09:14 > 1:09:18HAMMERING ON BOTH DOORS
1:09:25 > 1:09:27 Bertha, what's up?
1:09:27 > 1:09:33Harry, don't let either of them escape! Eh?!
1:09:33 > 1:09:35Sid's gone mad!
1:09:35 > 1:09:39He's got us muddled up with Birnley.
1:09:50 > 1:09:56This is beyond belief. If Sir John was suggesting... what I can hardly believe...
1:09:56 > 1:10:01My dear Birnley, let your daughter deal with Stratton in her own way.
1:10:01 > 1:10:04- She had her eyes open.- I didn't!
1:10:04 > 1:10:07Yes? The Works Committee is here.
1:10:07 > 1:10:10Er...mm...well, show them up.
1:10:12 > 1:10:13Birnley... >
1:10:13 > 1:10:16L-listen... >

1:10:21 > 1:10:23It's me, Daddy.
1:10:26 > 1:10:30Daphne, I just wondered if you were still there.
1:10:30 > 1:10:33Yes, I'm still here.
1:10:33 > 1:10:35I-I want to talk to you.
1:10:35 > 1:10:38Not now, Father.
1:10:40 > 1:10:41Daphne...
1:10:41 > 1:10:46- Birnley, don't be ridiculous! > - She's locked in.
1:10:52 > 1:10:56Crazy or not, we'll get some sense into him.
1:10:56 > 1:10:58- Open the door!- >
1:11:00 > 1:11:01- Daphne!- >
1:11:01 > 1:11:03Open this door!
1:11:04 > 1:11:05No.
1:11:16 > 1:11:17Knudsen!
1:11:17 > 1:11:23Ladies and gentlemen, Sir John will explain the situation.
1:11:24 > 1:11:28 We're talking to Mr Birnley, no-one else!
1:11:28 > 1:11:33He'll be along in a few minutes. WE'LL do the explaining!
1:11:33 > 1:11:37The boot's on the other foot, now Stratton's with us.
1:11:37 > 1:11:41With you (?) < That's right.
1:11:58 > 1:12:03Sidney's apologies, but from now on, you'll have to...count him out.
1:12:09 > 1:12:11Hello.

1:12:23 > 1:12:27STILL MORE KNOCKING
1:12:29 > 1:12:31Well, what is it?
1:12:31 > 1:12:34There's a man in that room. I know.
1:12:34 > 1:12:37He's got out. Eh?!
1:12:47 > 1:12:50He went that way.
1:12:55 > 1:12:57All right.
1:12:57 > 1:12:59Thank you.

1:13:14 > 1:13:16My dear friends,
1:13:16 > 1:13:21you must see that our bone of contention is non-existent.
1:13:21 > 1:13:25Capital and labour are hand-in-hand in this.

1:13:44 > 1:13:48Who is it? 'It's me, Harry.' Harry, you...
1:13:48 > 1:13:54'The kid said he'd got out. When I went in, he'd gone.' WHAT ?!
1:13:56 > 1:13:59We'll get him at the station.
1:14:01 > 1:14:03Michael !
1:14:04 > 1:14:07Corland, take your car. I'll take mine.
1:14:07 > 1:14:12Frank, you're not going with THEM ! They're not going without me!
1:14:16 > 1:14:19Wait for me!

1:17:20 > 1:17:24There'll be trouble if you stay here.
1:17:24 > 1:17:27It's...the stability.
1:17:27 > 1:17:29It isn't stable!
1:17:32 > 1:17:35Mrs Watson, have you got something?
1:17:35 > 1:17:42- My suit...they can see me! - Why can't you scientists leave things alone?
