0:02:22 > 0:02:25Charlie! Here's your death warrant. Stick it up when you've got the time.

0:02:28 > 0:02:31- Good morning, Charlie.- Good morning, sir.- Morning.- Morning, sir.

0:02:37 > 0:02:41HONKS HORN REPEATEDLY

0:02:51 > 0:02:52Here you are, Charlie.

0:02:54 > 0:02:56BLOWS WHISTLE

0:02:56 > 0:02:57Right away!

0:02:57 > 0:02:59Can't go yet. The squire's not here.

0:02:59 > 0:03:03HORN HONKING

0:03:03 > 0:03:05For heaven's sake, Harry!

0:03:05 > 0:03:08What am I supposed to do, hedge hop?

0:03:19 > 0:03:21HONKS HORN

0:03:21 > 0:03:23Dan!

0:03:23 > 0:03:24Dan!

0:03:28 > 0:03:31Dan! Spare a hand here.

0:03:32 > 0:03:34Come on, Dan!

0:03:40 > 0:03:41BLOWS WHISTLE

0:03:41 > 0:03:42Can't wait any longer.

0:03:42 > 0:03:46- We're three minutes late. - Three and a half, to be exact.

0:03:46 > 0:03:48- I'm due in court at ten o'clock. - Just going now, sir.

0:03:48 > 0:03:51Can't go yet. Squire's here.

0:03:58 > 0:04:01What's the idea of leaving me behind on market day?

0:04:01 > 0:04:05- Four minutes late.- Church clock says four minutes early.

0:04:05 > 0:04:07British Railways run by Greenwich not Titfield time.

0:04:07 > 0:04:11My great-grandfather built this railway for Titfield not Greenwich.

0:04:11 > 0:04:13WHISTLE BLOWS

0:04:44 > 0:04:46HORN HONKS

0:05:00 > 0:05:04My, my! So they let you have her on loan, eh?

0:05:04 > 0:05:07- We've bought her! - Railway's had it?

0:05:07 > 0:05:11- Closure notice put up this morning. - At last!

0:05:11 > 0:05:13Nah, that's just the beginning.

0:05:13 > 0:05:16Five years from now, they'll be calling this place Pearcetown.

0:05:30 > 0:05:32DOORBELL RINGS

0:05:35 > 0:05:37MUFFLED VOICES

0:05:45 > 0:05:47KNOCK ON DOOR

0:05:48 > 0:05:51- Yes, Emily? - The squire and Mr Blakeworth, sir.

0:05:51 > 0:05:54Well, well, well! Come in!

0:05:54 > 0:05:57- Emily, the ginger wine! - We're not interrupting the sermon?

0:05:57 > 0:06:00No matter. You'll find cigarettes in the pocket of my cassock.

0:06:00 > 0:06:03Sam, we've come to talk about the railway.

0:06:03 > 0:06:06- The railway! - You haven't heard the news?

0:06:06 > 0:06:09- The news? - They're closing it down.

0:06:27 > 0:06:31I cannot believe it. The oldest surviving branch line in the world.

0:06:31 > 0:06:35It's unthinkable. They cannot possibly close it.

0:06:35 > 0:06:37What about the Canterbury-Whitstable line?

0:06:37 > 0:06:39They closed that.

0:06:39 > 0:06:44Perhaps there were not men of sufficient faith in Canterbury.

0:06:45 > 0:06:47Sam, we've got to fight this.

0:06:47 > 0:06:49It'll be a virtual monopoly for Pearce and Crump and their buses.

0:06:49 > 0:06:52- The end of Titfield as we know it. - It must never happen.

0:06:52 > 0:06:55- Our railway must be kept running. - But how?

0:06:55 > 0:06:57There's no solution short of buying up the line.

0:06:57 > 0:07:00- My dear Mr Blakeworth! - The railways are all nationalised.

0:07:00 > 0:07:05The Transport Act of 1947 only nationalised existing railways.

0:07:05 > 0:07:08A new company formed now wouldn't come under the Act.

0:07:08 > 0:07:10(Sam) Well!

0:07:10 > 0:07:13There'd be hundreds of conditions to fulfil.

0:07:13 > 0:07:15Get a Light Railway Order, most won't apply.

0:07:15 > 0:07:17How do we get a Light Railway Order?

0:07:17 > 0:07:21By means of a prayer to the Minister of Transport. It's a legal term.

0:07:21 > 0:07:25You'd need an engine crew, signalmen, platelayers.

0:07:25 > 0:07:28The railways are short-handed. They'll never let anyone go.

0:07:28 > 0:07:30Good gracious, boy!

0:07:30 > 0:07:34You, whose great-grandfather built the railway?

0:07:34 > 0:07:36What are you thinking of? We'll run it ourselves!

0:07:36 > 0:07:39- Good heavens! - Yes, we will, Sam!

0:07:39 > 0:07:41What a thought! By heavens, we will!

0:07:41 > 0:07:44- I'll drive the engine. - I'll be the guard.

0:07:44 > 0:07:49Oh, good heavens! Where are you going to get the money from?

0:07:49 > 0:07:51- Oh.- We'll raise it.

0:07:51 > 0:07:54We'll organise a raffle, a jumble sale.

0:07:54 > 0:07:58We'll revive the flower show, have a flag day, a silver collection,

0:07:58 > 0:08:01a line of pennies, put on The Mikado again.

0:08:01 > 0:08:06Sam, you've done all that for the organ fund. How much have you raised?

0:08:06 > 0:08:08£49, three shillings.

0:08:08 > 0:08:10We'll need at least 10,000.

0:08:16 > 0:08:18Oh!

0:08:21 > 0:08:23But if we could interest Mr Valentine...

0:08:23 > 0:08:25Mr Valentine?

0:08:25 > 0:08:27He's spent 40 years standing people drinks.

0:08:27 > 0:08:30- Why can't he stand us a railway? - Impossible!

0:08:30 > 0:08:32Sam, a railway of our own?

0:08:44 > 0:08:46Good heavens!

0:08:47 > 0:08:51- And a large gin for me. - In your hand, Mr Valentine.

0:08:51 > 0:08:56Oh! Ladies and gentlemen, here's to our magnificent generals,

0:08:56 > 0:08:58General Gordon and General Booth.

0:08:58 > 0:09:00LAUGHTER

0:09:00 > 0:09:04No, leave it there, my dear. Time we all had another little drink.

0:09:05 > 0:09:07Ah, our good chaplain!

0:09:07 > 0:09:10I was just about to invite the company to take wine with me.

0:09:10 > 0:09:13- No, please let me. - I've already staked my claim, sir.

0:09:13 > 0:09:15You must accept defeat like a gentleman. Mr Weech?

0:09:15 > 0:09:18Well, it's very kind of you. Perhaps a glass of sherry.

0:09:18 > 0:09:21Yes. A sherry wine. For you, Mr Chesterford, the same again?

0:09:21 > 0:09:23- I haven't had one yet! - Oh, well!

0:09:23 > 0:09:26Let us not quibble over the lapse of a few empty hours

0:09:26 > 0:09:28since we last stood here together.

0:09:28 > 0:09:31Was it not a blend of mild ale and bitter beer?

0:09:31 > 0:09:33- Mild and bitter. - There.

0:09:33 > 0:09:37- Mr Weech, you're looking solemn. - Mr Weech has had a nasty shock.

0:09:37 > 0:09:40- They're closing our railway. - Oh, my dear padre.

0:09:40 > 0:09:43All this time together and not one word of sympathy from me.

0:09:43 > 0:09:46You must think me an unfeeling old man.

0:09:46 > 0:09:48- Not at all. - But I insist.

0:09:48 > 0:09:51We're planning to take it over, work it ourselves.

0:09:51 > 0:09:53Indeed! And why not?

0:09:53 > 0:09:56- I've the man for you! Mr Taylor! - If we can find the capital.

0:09:56 > 0:09:58Yes. Mr Taylor!

0:09:58 > 0:10:01Mr Taylor! There you are. Stop dodging about, sir.

0:10:01 > 0:10:05You're going to drive an engine for these ladies and gentlemen.

0:10:05 > 0:10:07Oh, no!

0:10:07 > 0:10:10Mr Taylor's a railway servant of long experience.

0:10:10 > 0:10:12- 41 years. - Yes, I know. A platelayer.

0:10:12 > 0:10:15I can drive an engine better than what you can.

0:10:15 > 0:10:18At what percent of piston travel does an engine cut out

0:10:18 > 0:10:20- before she starts her run? - Eh?

0:10:20 > 0:10:23- He doesn't even know that. - First blood to the cloth!

0:10:23 > 0:10:26- Come on, Mr Taylor, have at him! - What's a Samson?

0:10:26 > 0:10:30One doesn't need a knowledge of slang to operate a locomotive.

0:10:30 > 0:10:32- Hit for Mr Taylor! - Get into him, Dan!

0:10:32 > 0:10:34- What's a petticoat pipe? - Come on, Mr Weech!

0:10:34 > 0:10:37What's the purpose of the firebox throat plate?

0:10:37 > 0:10:39- When does an engine bark? - What's a stuffing gland?

0:10:39 > 0:10:42- How long's your jay rod? - How do you free a clogged blower?

0:10:42 > 0:10:45- How do you treat a big end brass? - Answer my questions, man!

0:10:45 > 0:10:48Well, you answer mine, and take your paws off me!

0:10:48 > 0:10:49Gentlemen, order, please!

0:10:49 > 0:10:54I declare the contest a draw. They must both drive the engine.

0:10:54 > 0:10:56If they ever get the chance.

0:10:56 > 0:11:00Mr Valentine, we need £10,000 to float our company.

0:11:00 > 0:11:03My dear Mr Chesterford, what is £10,000 between friends?

0:11:03 > 0:11:07- Nothing, we're hoping. - Money is only a symbol. Come on.

0:11:07 > 0:11:10Let's drink to your success. Miss Hampton, dear, set them up.

0:11:10 > 0:11:14- You'll finance us? - I, dear boy? Charming gesture.

0:11:14 > 0:11:17But what right have I to exploit your enterprise for gain?

0:11:17 > 0:11:21- I, a foolish old man? - You certainly won't gain by it.

0:11:21 > 0:11:23I, who already have enough for my simple needs.

0:11:23 > 0:11:26This line has been losing money for years.

0:11:26 > 0:11:28It's bound to go on losing money.

0:11:28 > 0:11:31There's an honest man. Thank you, my dear sir.

0:11:31 > 0:11:36But for your timely warning, I might have made a foolish investment.

0:11:36 > 0:11:38Come along, Miss Hampton, dear.

0:11:38 > 0:11:42Mr Valentine, what do you do in the morning before this place opens?

0:11:42 > 0:11:45I wait impatient for the day to dawn.

0:11:45 > 0:11:48Suppose the day dawned at 13 minutes to nine.

0:11:49 > 0:11:52Mr Chesterford, you're a poet,

0:11:52 > 0:11:54a dreamer of beautiful dreams.

0:11:54 > 0:11:58There is nothing in law to prevent a railway company opening a bar

0:11:58 > 0:12:02in one of its trains whenever that train is under way.

0:12:08 > 0:12:11Give us your backing and we'll run a bar on the Titfield-Mallingford line

0:12:11 > 0:12:14- every morning and afternoon. - Sundays excepted.

0:12:15 > 0:12:19You... You wouldn't tease an old man, would you?

0:12:19 > 0:12:22Mr Weech, you wouldn't joke about a sacred subject.

0:12:22 > 0:12:25I am assured it will be quite, quite legal.

0:12:25 > 0:12:27You can write your own timetable.

0:12:27 > 0:12:31My very dear sir, you can write your own cheque!

0:12:31 > 0:12:33Hallelujah!

0:12:33 > 0:12:36- CHEERING AND LAUGHTER - Set them up, Miss Hampton!

0:12:54 > 0:12:55HORN HONKS

0:12:55 > 0:12:57- Morning, Tom. - Morning, sir.

0:13:06 > 0:13:08- Morning. - Morning, sir.

0:13:14 > 0:13:16- Morning, Mr Clegg. - Morning.

0:13:16 > 0:13:19Titfield branch line. British Railways are prepared to sell.

0:13:19 > 0:13:22These people are determined to run it themselves.

0:13:22 > 0:13:24That is their intention.

0:13:24 > 0:13:28You will be conducting an official inquiry at Mallingford next Tuesday.

0:13:28 > 0:13:32It's going to be tough. Bound to be a lot of local opposition.

0:13:32 > 0:13:35- Amateurs running a railway. - There is.

0:13:35 > 0:13:39You will ascertain whether or not such opposition is justified.

0:14:09 > 0:14:12- You know, Sam, this is serious. - Scandalous! Gross libel!

0:14:12 > 0:14:15Yes, but we are amateurs.

0:14:15 > 0:14:16Amateurs?

0:14:57 > 0:15:00- Come on up, Mr Weech. - I say, Ben. You are a brick!

0:15:00 > 0:15:03- Did the guard see you? - No, I don't think so.

0:15:03 > 0:15:06- Come in, Mr Chesterford. - Thanks a lot, Joe.

0:15:06 > 0:15:09- Driver didn't see you, did he? - I don't think so.

0:15:11 > 0:15:13That's the lot.

0:15:43 > 0:15:47- Open her out, Ben. May I? - Steady, now. Steady.

0:16:13 > 0:16:15Faster, Alec. Faster.

0:16:16 > 0:16:18HORN HONKS

0:16:18 > 0:16:21TYRES SCREECH, CAR HONKS HORN

0:16:21 > 0:16:22It's safer by road!

0:16:25 > 0:16:30In view of the very grave dangers of a privately run railway,

0:16:30 > 0:16:34I feel the only solution to the problem is a privately run bus.

0:16:34 > 0:16:36ALL: Hear, hear!

0:16:39 > 0:16:42CHEERING

0:16:42 > 0:16:44(Ruddock) Quiet, please.

0:16:44 > 0:16:49All right, so it all boils down to a question of safety first.

0:16:49 > 0:16:52There's no doubting the fact that the Titfield people as a whole

0:16:52 > 0:16:55are somewhat disturbed at the idea of an amateur-run railway.

0:16:55 > 0:16:59I don't know, of course, how many have...reasons of their own

0:16:59 > 0:17:01for opposing it.

0:17:01 > 0:17:05I do wish I could be sure of one impartial view.

0:17:05 > 0:17:08I think I can provide that, sir. As town clerk here,

0:17:08 > 0:17:12I am able to keep a close touch on the pulse of local opinion.

0:17:12 > 0:17:16It is my public duty to say that the opposition does arise

0:17:16 > 0:17:18from a genuine doubt as to whether

0:17:18 > 0:17:21these gentlemen can provide a safe service.

0:17:21 > 0:17:23If you decide that they can...

0:17:23 > 0:17:27I have recently taken a course of private tuition as an engine driver.

0:17:27 > 0:17:30- I'm learning how to be a guard. - Where, how and who from?

0:17:30 > 0:17:32And who may you be, sir?

0:17:32 > 0:17:36The name is Coggett, Mr Coggett. I'm here to enter a protest

0:17:36 > 0:17:39on behalf of the National Association of Railway Workers.

0:17:39 > 0:17:42I see. What is the nature of your protest, Mr Coggett?

0:17:42 > 0:17:45My association would take a grave view of the proposal

0:17:45 > 0:17:50to employ staff in disregard of the scale of wages for railway workers.

0:17:50 > 0:17:54Tell us where we can get some. We'll use them at full union rates.

0:17:54 > 0:17:57My association is not an employment bureau.

0:17:57 > 0:18:01It is concerned only to prevent the exploitation of cheap labour.

0:18:01 > 0:18:05- But we want to be exploited. - It doesn't matter, brother.

0:18:05 > 0:18:07It's what the bosses want that we're out to stop.

0:18:07 > 0:18:09We ARE the bosses.

0:18:09 > 0:18:13In our company, there's no quarrel between capital and labour.

0:18:13 > 0:18:17My association will view any such situation as exploitation.

0:18:17 > 0:18:20Thank you, Mr Coggett.

0:18:20 > 0:18:24As an old railwayman myself, I cannot help sympathising

0:18:24 > 0:18:27with those who want to keep this line in operation.

0:18:27 > 0:18:29I see that they're ready to make every effort

0:18:29 > 0:18:32to fit themselves for their duties.

0:18:32 > 0:18:34But, in their enthusiasm,

0:18:34 > 0:18:37I don't think they realise as clearly as the rest of the community

0:18:37 > 0:18:40what a very big responsibility it would be.

0:18:40 > 0:18:43If I were to grant the order they've applied for,

0:18:43 > 0:18:46I think they might find, in a few weeks' time,

0:18:46 > 0:18:49that they'd taken on more than they could manage.

0:18:49 > 0:18:54I do not feel justified in recommending that they should be granted...

0:18:54 > 0:18:55CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:19:02 > 0:19:05You're condemning our village to death!

0:19:05 > 0:19:09Open it up to buses and lorries and what will it be like in five years?

0:19:09 > 0:19:11Our lanes will be concrete roads.

0:19:11 > 0:19:13Our houses will have numbers instead of names.

0:19:13 > 0:19:17There'll be traffic lights and zebra crossings, twice as dangerous.

0:19:17 > 0:19:21Go by bus! We're not asking for a monopoly, like you are.

0:19:21 > 0:19:24All we're asking for is the chance to keep our train running.

0:19:24 > 0:19:26Mr Blakeworth, you spoke frankly.

0:19:26 > 0:19:29You said people were scared of our idea. Perhaps you're one of them.

0:19:29 > 0:19:32But give us a chance and we'll prove we can do it.

0:19:34 > 0:19:38Just give us this one chance, sir. It means everything to our village.

0:19:41 > 0:19:45- We want to run the railway. - Bravo! Bravo!

0:19:45 > 0:19:47CHEERING

0:19:53 > 0:19:56Thank you. I was about to add that I do not feel justified

0:19:56 > 0:19:59in recommending their order should be made permanent,

0:19:59 > 0:20:02until they've had a chance of proving their capabilities.

0:20:02 > 0:20:05I shall recommend that they'll be granted

0:20:05 > 0:20:07a probationary period of one month.

0:20:07 > 0:20:10After which, an inspector of railways appointed by the Minister

0:20:10 > 0:20:14shall report whether or not the efficiency with which the line is run

0:20:14 > 0:20:17justifies the said order being made permanent.

0:20:19 > 0:20:21LAUGHTER

0:20:22 > 0:20:25# For he's a jolly good fellow

0:20:25 > 0:20:27# For he's a jolly good fellow...#

0:20:27 > 0:20:30Sing while you can, you poor fools.

0:20:30 > 0:20:32You won't last a week!

0:20:32 > 0:20:34CHEERING

0:20:48 > 0:20:50- Morning. - Morning, sir.

0:20:50 > 0:20:53Better than housework, Mrs Davies?

0:20:53 > 0:20:56- Splendid, Mrs Stanley! Morning! - Morning, Mr Weech.

0:20:56 > 0:20:57- Good morning, Fred. - Morning, vicar.

0:20:57 > 0:21:00Morning, Mrs Anstey. Hello, Joan!

0:21:00 > 0:21:02- Morning. - Good morning.

0:21:56 > 0:21:59BLOWS WHISTLE

0:22:06 > 0:22:09Well done, everybody. Time for evensong.

0:22:10 > 0:22:13Right-O, that'll do. Pack it up. Pack it up.

0:22:40 > 0:22:42ALARM RINGS

0:22:45 > 0:22:48CLOCK CHIMES

0:51:43 > 0:51:45In a spiritual sense.

0:51:45 > 0:51:48That such a crime could be committed in my parish.

0:51:48 > 0:51:52- Any chance of getting her up? - It'd take three months to mend her.

1:02:36 > 1:02:39- You've seen her before. - In the museum, but to stand on her!
