0:02:28 > 0:02:29Come on, girls!

0:02:30 > 0:02:32Anybody?

0:02:33 > 0:02:35Anybody else?

0:02:35 > 0:02:40- Jenny, again.- Isn't it because Mr Rochester's blind?

0:02:40 > 0:02:42(TIREDLY) Yes, Jenny.

0:02:44 > 0:02:48- I've got an English essay to do by tomorrow morning.- Right!

0:02:48 > 0:02:51So the only sound I want to hear coming through the ceiling

0:02:51 > 0:02:55- is sweat dripping onto textbooks. - Cello?- Nn-nn. No cello.

0:02:55 > 0:02:58I thought we agreed cello was my interest or hobby.

0:02:58 > 0:03:00It already is your interest or hobby.

0:03:00 > 0:03:03So when they ask, at the Oxford interview,

0:03:03 > 0:03:06"What is your interest or hobby?" you can say the cello.

0:03:06 > 0:03:10You don't have to practise a hobby. A hobby is a hobby.

0:03:10 > 0:03:14- Can I stop going to the youth orchestra, then?- No!

0:03:14 > 0:03:18The youth orchestra's a good thing. That shows you're a joiner-inner.

0:03:18 > 0:03:21Ah! Yes. But...I've already joined in.

0:03:21 > 0:03:23So now I can stop.

0:03:23 > 0:03:25No!

0:03:25 > 0:03:29That just shows the opposite. Don't you see?

0:03:29 > 0:03:33- That shows you're a rebel. They don't want that at Oxford.- No.

0:03:33 > 0:03:36- They don't want people who think for themselves.- Of course not.

0:03:38 > 0:03:42(BUZZ OF CONVERSATION) (ALL TUNE UP)

0:03:53 > 0:03:55(BOTH GIGGLE)

0:03:59 > 0:04:02- (TAPS ON MUSIC STAND) - (ALL FALL SILENT)

0:04:03 > 0:04:06(ALL STRIKE UP SLOW-PACED CLASSICAL PIECE)

0:04:16 > 0:04:19(ALL CHATTER)

0:04:20 > 0:04:24Jenny! Should I wear, like, er, Sunday best?

0:04:24 > 0:04:27You'd better, I'm afraid.

0:04:27 > 0:04:30Just to show my father you're un jeune homme serieux,

0:04:30 > 0:04:33- not a teddy boy. - Oh, God... Right.

0:04:33 > 0:04:35(THUNDER RUMBLES)

0:04:35 > 0:04:38I'm gonna go. It's gonna bucket down in a minute.

0:04:38 > 0:04:41- Oh, OK. Right. - See you at the weekend.

0:04:41 > 0:04:44- Bye, then. - Bye.

0:04:44 > 0:04:46- S-Sorry! - Sorry.

0:04:46 > 0:04:49- (BOYS GIGGLE) - "Goodbye, my love"!

0:04:54 > 0:04:57Come on! Come on!

0:04:57 > 0:05:00Stop it, now! That's enough.

0:05:00 > 0:05:02Oh, now, look what you've done!

0:05:04 > 0:05:07Come here. The nice man's waiting for us!

0:05:07 > 0:05:10- It fell off! - No, it didn't. You kicked it off.

0:05:10 > 0:05:13My sock's all wet!

0:05:22 > 0:05:25Hello! Look, if you had any sense,

0:05:25 > 0:05:29you wouldn't take a lift from a strange man, but I'm a music lover,

0:05:29 > 0:05:32and I'm worried about your cello. So I propose you put it in my car

0:05:32 > 0:05:35and walk alongside me.

0:05:37 > 0:05:39How do I know you won't drive off with it?

0:05:40 > 0:05:43Good point. Um...

0:05:44 > 0:05:47How much does a new cello cost? £10, £15? I dunno.

0:05:47 > 0:05:50Let's say... 15.

0:05:50 > 0:05:52- (LAUGHS) - No? All right.

0:05:54 > 0:05:56Up to you.

0:06:01 > 0:06:04(THUNDER RUMBLES)

0:06:05 > 0:06:07- And that. - Right.

0:06:11 > 0:06:14- I'm David, by the way. - Jenny.- Very good.

0:06:15 > 0:06:17(LAUGHS)

0:06:24 > 0:06:27- How did the concert go? - It was a rehearsal.

0:06:27 > 0:06:30- Concert's next Thursday. - What are you playing?

0:06:30 > 0:06:33- Elgar. - Ah!

0:06:33 > 0:06:36It's a shame he spent so much time in Worcester.

0:06:36 > 0:06:39It's too near Birmingham. You can hear that in the music.

0:06:39 > 0:06:43There's a terrible Brummie in there, if you listen hard enough.

0:06:43 > 0:06:47(CHUCKLES) Anyway, Elgar and the Jews don't mix very well.

0:06:47 > 0:06:51- I'm not a Jew. - No. I am.

0:06:51 > 0:06:54- Oh! - I wasn't accusing you.

0:06:55 > 0:06:59(THUNDER BOOMS) Can I sit in the car with my cello?

0:06:59 > 0:07:01Jump in.

0:07:12 > 0:07:15I've never seen a car like this before. C'est tres chic.

0:07:15 > 0:07:19It's a Bristol. Not many of 'em made.

0:07:20 > 0:07:23- Where to, madam? - I only live round the corner.

0:07:23 > 0:07:26- Worse luck. - I'll see what I can do.

0:07:34 > 0:07:36(HORN BEEPS)

0:07:39 > 0:07:41(LAUGHS)

0:07:43 > 0:07:47- I suppose a cellist must go to a lot of concerts.- I don't go to any.

0:07:47 > 0:07:50- We don't believe in them. - Oh, they're real.

0:07:50 > 0:07:53(LAUGHS) So people say.

0:07:53 > 0:07:56- Smoke? - I'd better not.

0:07:56 > 0:07:58I live just up there.

0:08:02 > 0:08:06- Why don't we believe in them? - He'd say there's no point to them.

0:08:06 > 0:08:08- Your father, this is? - Oh, yes.

0:08:08 > 0:08:11They're just for fun - apart from school concerts,

0:08:11 > 0:08:14which are no fun at all, so we go to those!

0:08:14 > 0:08:16They don't help you get on.

0:08:16 > 0:08:19Which is what's so wonderful about them.

0:08:19 > 0:08:23- Anyway, you'll go one day. - I know. I will.

0:08:23 > 0:08:27If I go to university, I'm going to read what I want,

0:08:27 > 0:08:29and listen to what I want,

0:08:29 > 0:08:33and I'm going to look at paintings and watch French films,

0:08:33 > 0:08:36and I'm going to talk to people who know lots about lots.

0:08:36 > 0:08:39- Good for you. - (LAUGHS) Yes.

0:08:39 > 0:08:41Which university?

0:08:41 > 0:08:44Oxford, if I'm lucky.

0:08:44 > 0:08:47- Did you go anywhere? - I studied at what they call

0:08:47 > 0:08:51the university of life. I didn't get a very good degree, though.

0:08:55 > 0:08:58Well, thank you for driving me home.

0:08:58 > 0:09:01# "Sous Le Ciel De Paris" - Juliette Greco

0:09:05 > 0:09:07- You all right? You got it? - Yes, it's fine.

0:09:10 > 0:09:12- Thank you! - My pleasure.

0:09:12 > 0:09:16(SINGS ALONG WITH RECORD) # ..dans le coeur d'un garcon... #

0:09:16 > 0:09:18(LIVELY ACCORDION MUSIC)

0:09:18 > 0:09:23# Sous le ciel de Paris marchent des amoureux

0:09:23 > 0:09:24# Hmm, hmm... #

0:09:25 > 0:09:30(CONTINUES OVER RECORD WITH LA-LA REFRAIN)

0:09:32 > 0:09:35# Sur le pont de Bercy

0:09:35 > 0:09:39(SINGS ALONG) # Un philosophe assis

0:09:39 > 0:09:42# Deux musiciens, quelque badauds

0:09:42 > 0:09:44# Puis les gens par milliers... #

0:09:45 > 0:09:48(BANGING ON CEILING FROM FLOOR BELOW)

0:09:48 > 0:09:51'I don't wanna hear any French singing!'

0:09:51 > 0:09:55'French singing wasn't on the syllabus last time I looked!'

0:09:55 > 0:09:57Battenberg?

0:09:57 > 0:10:02Thank you. Er, I like the crust.

0:10:03 > 0:10:06- So, where are you applying, Graham? - I'm not sure yet.

0:10:06 > 0:10:09Well, when will you be sure?

0:10:09 > 0:10:12You can't let the grass grow under your feet.

0:10:12 > 0:10:15- I might take a year off. - (LAUGHS) What for?

0:10:15 > 0:10:18I don't know yet. Maybe do some travelling,

0:10:18 > 0:10:21that sort of thing.

0:10:21 > 0:10:23Travelling?

0:10:25 > 0:10:28What are you - a teddy boy?

0:10:28 > 0:10:31You know she's going to Oxford, don't you,

0:10:31 > 0:10:35if we get her Latin up to scratch? So while she's studying English

0:10:35 > 0:10:38at Oxford, you'll be the wandering Jew.

0:10:38 > 0:10:42(LAUGHS UNEASILY) Mr Mellor, I'm not a teddy boy.

0:10:44 > 0:10:48I'm... I'm an... un homme serieux jeune.

0:10:48 > 0:10:51Er... No. Yes.

0:10:51 > 0:10:55I'm a homme jeune serieux. Un h-homme...

0:11:06 > 0:11:09- They're for me. - Who are they from?

0:11:13 > 0:11:16- Gosh! Him! - What's this?!

0:11:16 > 0:11:20- I'm afraid Jenny's been sent some flowers from a chap.- What kind?

0:11:20 > 0:11:24- He's wishing me luck for tonight. - Is that all he's wishing you?

0:11:24 > 0:11:26- Where'd he get the money? - Earns it, I expect.

0:11:26 > 0:11:30- Why isn't he at school?- Can we go? Or the good-luck flowers will mean

0:11:30 > 0:11:34I miss the concert. Which would be ironic, n'est-ce pas?

0:11:34 > 0:11:36(GIGGLES)

0:11:38 > 0:11:40- I... I don't like it. - Objection noted.

0:11:40 > 0:11:42- Jenny? - Noted.

0:11:42 > 0:11:46Well, there's got to be ten bob's worth of luck here!

0:11:46 > 0:11:49That's a bit much for a schoolgirl. We can't leave it here!

0:11:49 > 0:11:52Even I'd burgle a house with flowers left outside.

0:11:52 > 0:11:55They'll think we're made of money. Thank you, Marjorie.

0:11:56 > 0:12:00- 'Camus doesn't- want- you to like him. Feeling is bourgeois.'

0:12:00 > 0:12:02'Being engagedrgeois.'

0:12:03 > 0:12:06He kills someone, and he doesn't feel anything.

0:12:06 > 0:12:10His mother dies, and he doesn't feel anything.

0:12:10 > 0:12:12I wouldn't feel anything if my mother died.

0:12:12 > 0:12:16- Does that make me an existentialist? - No. That makes you a cow.

0:12:16 > 0:12:18- Une vache! - (ALL LAUGH)

0:12:19 > 0:12:22- Well, after I've been to university, I'm going to- be- French.

0:12:22 > 0:12:25And I'm going to Paris,

0:12:25 > 0:12:27and I'm going to smoke,

0:12:27 > 0:12:30and wear black, and listen to Jacques Brel,

0:12:30 > 0:12:34and I won't speak. Ever. C'est plus chic comme ca!

0:12:34 > 0:12:36- (LAUGHS) - Oh, crikey!

0:12:36 > 0:12:38What?

0:12:40 > 0:12:42Wait here.

0:12:42 > 0:12:45Hello!

0:12:46 > 0:12:48Hello!

0:12:50 > 0:12:52Er, hello. Um...

0:12:52 > 0:12:54Thank you!

0:12:54 > 0:12:57- How did it go? - Er...fine,

0:12:57 > 0:13:00I think. I didn't mess my bit up.

0:13:00 > 0:13:03Nobody got thrown out of the orchestra afterwards.

0:13:03 > 0:13:06Always the mark of a cultural triumph.

0:13:06 > 0:13:09- What are you doing on Friday? - Going to school.

0:13:09 > 0:13:13- I meant in the evening! - Of course!

0:13:13 > 0:13:17- Nothing.- I'm going to listen to some Ravel in St John's, Smith Square.

0:13:17 > 0:13:20My friends Danny and Helen are coming, too,

0:13:20 > 0:13:24so it wouldn't be, um... I tell you what.

0:13:24 > 0:13:27I'll come and pick you up. And if your parents disapprove,

0:13:27 > 0:13:31- have the tickets and go with one of them. All right?- Thank you.

0:13:31 > 0:13:35- And... I'd like to go with you. - Seven.

0:13:38 > 0:13:42And, um... probably go for a spot of supper afterwards.

0:13:42 > 0:13:45- Supper... - Mm. If you want to.

0:13:46 > 0:13:50Well, the thing is, is... we'll probably have eaten.

0:13:50 > 0:13:53Well, if you'd like supper,

0:13:53 > 0:13:58then, perhaps, on Friday, you could, er...not eat.

0:13:58 > 0:14:01Yes! (LAUGHS) Of course.

0:14:10 > 0:14:13- (GASPS) "A spot of supper"?! - You've heard of supper.

0:14:13 > 0:14:17- Yes, but we've never eaten it. - You have to tell us everything,

0:14:17 > 0:14:20otherwise it's not fair.

0:14:20 > 0:14:23- I won't allow it! - Fine! He's happy for you to take me.

0:14:23 > 0:14:26- Fine. I will. - Good!- Where is it?

0:14:26 > 0:14:28- Smith Square. - Where's that?- I don't know.

0:14:28 > 0:14:31It's in Westminster, right next door to the abbey.

0:14:31 > 0:14:35- How do you know that? - I had a life before we were married.

0:14:35 > 0:14:38- You soon put a stop to that. - Well, there you are.- Where?

0:14:38 > 0:14:42Westminster. I'm not going all the way over there.

0:14:42 > 0:14:45- But that's where the concert is. - There must be something locally.

0:14:45 > 0:14:48She wants to see someone who can play,

0:14:48 > 0:14:51not Sheila Kirkham scratching away. I'll take her.

0:14:51 > 0:14:54- How will- you- get there? RAF helicopter?

0:14:54 > 0:14:56(DOORBELL) That's him.

0:14:56 > 0:14:58- Oh, bloody hell! - Jack...!

0:14:58 > 0:15:03Oh, by the way, David's a Jew - a wandering Jew. So watch yourself.

0:15:04 > 0:15:07What does she mean? I've never said anything like that!

0:15:07 > 0:15:11It's just an expression. I've got nothing against the Jews...

0:15:11 > 0:15:15- Glad to hear it. Hello.- I didn't mean I've got nothing against you.

0:15:15 > 0:15:18- I do mean that. I... - Dad!- Sorry.

0:15:18 > 0:15:20It's just that...

0:15:20 > 0:15:24You're not the sort of person that I would be against...

0:15:24 > 0:15:27Well, I wouldn't, because I'm not the kind of person

0:15:27 > 0:15:30who would be against...people.

0:15:31 > 0:15:34I'm Jack. This is my wife Marjorie.

0:15:35 > 0:15:38You didn't tell me you had a sister, Jenny.

0:15:38 > 0:15:40(LAUGHS)

0:15:41 > 0:15:43Please...

0:15:44 > 0:15:48- You're a lucky man, Jack. - Yes. I suppose I am.

0:15:57 > 0:16:00- This is lovely. - Thank you!

0:16:00 > 0:16:04Oh! I'm sorry, David. Would you like a drink?

0:16:04 > 0:16:07I'd love one, Jack, but we're running a little late.

0:16:07 > 0:16:10Um, if Jenny's ready, perhaps we'll shoot off.

0:16:11 > 0:16:16Actually, David, Dad has something he has to tell you.

0:16:16 > 0:16:19Oh, no, really... Well, it was just a question.

0:16:19 > 0:16:22A point of reference. What's the best way

0:16:22 > 0:16:26to get to St John's, Smith Square from here?

0:16:26 > 0:16:30It's a straight run. Hammersmith, A4 through Kensington, you're there.

0:16:30 > 0:16:33- Simple as that? - Simple as that.

0:16:33 > 0:16:35- Shall I book us some tickets? - No.

0:16:35 > 0:16:39Well...have her back by ten, David.

0:16:40 > 0:16:43I was hoping she might come for supper afterwards

0:16:43 > 0:16:47- with my aunt Helen. - Oh, well! Er...

0:16:47 > 0:16:50No. No, no. I... (CHUCKLES)

0:16:50 > 0:16:52She's usually in bed by then.

0:16:52 > 0:16:56What if I promised to have her back by 11:30?

0:16:57 > 0:16:59Well, it's Friday night.

0:16:59 > 0:17:02And you are going all the way to the West End.

0:17:02 > 0:17:04Thanks, Jack. I appreciate it.

0:17:04 > 0:17:06All right.

0:17:08 > 0:17:10- Bye. - Bye bye.

0:17:10 > 0:17:12Have a nice time.

0:17:14 > 0:17:16(GIGGLES)

0:17:18 > 0:17:21(RAIN PATTERS) (BOTH LAUGH)

0:17:26 > 0:17:29- Hello, hello! - Ah!

0:17:29 > 0:17:32- Are we late?- No. I thought we were going to miss the beginning,

0:17:32 > 0:17:35and then it wouldn't be worth it, and we could go dancing.

0:17:35 > 0:17:38- Helen is a reluctant audience. - Hello.

0:17:38 > 0:17:41Jenny, my friends Helen and Danny. Shall we?

0:17:49 > 0:17:51Oh... (LAUGHS) Sorry!

0:17:51 > 0:17:54- That's all right. It's lovely, isn't it?- Beautiful.

0:17:54 > 0:17:59- Where did you get it from? - Oh, I don't know. Chelsea.

0:18:01 > 0:18:06Oh, yours is... Well... good for this sort of concert, isn't it?

0:18:06 > 0:18:08Thank you.

0:18:08 > 0:18:11We should go shopping together, you and I.

0:18:11 > 0:18:13That would be nice.

0:18:13 > 0:18:18But Chelsea... C'est beaucoup trop cher pour moi!

0:18:18 > 0:18:20Sorry?

0:18:20 > 0:18:22I just said... it's too expensive for me.

0:18:22 > 0:18:25No. You said something completely different.

0:18:25 > 0:18:28No. Well... I said it in French.

0:18:28 > 0:18:34- In French? Why? - I don't know. (LAUGHS)

0:18:34 > 0:18:37Well, Chelsea's too expensive for me, too, really,

0:18:37 > 0:18:40but we don't have to worry about that. If you want something,

0:18:40 > 0:18:44- get David to take you shopping. - Why would David want to do that?

0:18:47 > 0:18:51# "Introduction Et Allegro" - Maurice Ravel

0:19:33 > 0:19:37I booked a table at Juliette's. Will that kill the mood?

0:19:37 > 0:19:41Oh, I hope so. God, I always think I'm going to my own funeral

0:19:41 > 0:19:43when I listen to classical music.

0:19:43 > 0:19:47- That was classical, wasn't it? - Yes. Very classical.

0:19:47 > 0:19:49- As classical as it gets. - Juliette's it is!

0:19:49 > 0:19:53Let's not spend the evening reflecting on our own mortality.

0:19:53 > 0:19:56(MID-TEMPO JAZZ INTRO)

0:19:59 > 0:20:02# I want a Sunday...

0:20:11 > 0:20:13(BUZZ OF CONVERSATION AND LAUGHTER)

0:20:16 > 0:20:19Extraordinary woman, Greco. Just like you, Helen.

0:20:19 > 0:20:24What about Chante Francoise Sagan? Have you heard that one?

0:20:24 > 0:20:28- Wonderful.- I've only got... It's just called Juliette Greco.

0:20:28 > 0:20:31The one with the eyes on the sleeve. My French-conversation teacher

0:20:31 > 0:20:35- brought it back for me.- You've got a French-conversation teacher?

0:20:35 > 0:20:39- Yes.- Is that why you suddenly speak French for no reason?

0:20:40 > 0:20:44Have you never heard her sing? You should see her in Paris, not here.

0:20:44 > 0:20:47- David will take you. - (LAUGHS)

0:20:47 > 0:20:51- I'd love to. You'd fit right in. - Better than here, really.

0:20:51 > 0:20:55Isn't it wonderful to find a young person who wants to know things?

0:20:55 > 0:20:58There's so much I want you to see.

0:21:02 > 0:21:05Can you come and look at that Pembroke Villas place on Friday?

0:21:05 > 0:21:10Oh, no, I can't. There's a Burne- Jones coming up at Christie's then.

0:21:10 > 0:21:13- I'm desperate to get my hands on it. - You're buying a Burne-Jones?!

0:21:13 > 0:21:18- A real one?!- I have a feeling the pre-Raphaelites are gonna take off.

0:21:18 > 0:21:21- I love the pre-Raphaelites! - Do you?- Yes, of course!

0:21:21 > 0:21:25Rossetti and Burne-Jones, anyway. Not Holman Hunt. He's so garish.

0:21:25 > 0:21:29Oh, absolutely! Why don't we all go to the auction together?

0:21:29 > 0:21:33- Auction! Gosh, how exciting! - It's Friday morning.

0:21:35 > 0:21:37Friday...

0:21:37 > 0:21:40- Oh! - You're busy.

0:21:41 > 0:21:43- Well, yes. - Tant pis!

0:21:43 > 0:21:47Quel dommage! C'est pas de probleme.

0:21:47 > 0:21:50- (LAUGHS) - Are you sure you're busy?- No.

0:21:50 > 0:21:53I'm sure I could rearrange.

0:21:53 > 0:21:55That would be lovely.

0:21:55 > 0:21:57(ALL APPLAUD)

0:21:58 > 0:22:02(BAND STRIKES UP SLOW, ROMANTIC INTRO)

0:22:11 > 0:22:14# You got me wrapped around...

0:22:14 > 0:22:19- (SINGS ALONG) - # Your little finger

0:22:19 > 0:22:22# If this is love

0:22:22 > 0:22:27# It's everything I hoped it would be... #

0:22:28 > 0:22:31(BOTH CHATTER AND LAUGH)

0:22:32 > 0:22:35# When we kiss

0:22:36 > 0:22:38# It's as if

0:22:39 > 0:22:42# Our lips agree

0:22:42 > 0:22:47# That we were meant to be... #

0:23:07 > 0:23:11- What are you doing?- I can't get this casserole dish clean.

0:23:11 > 0:23:14- It's all burned around... - It's 25 to 12.

0:23:17 > 0:23:20- We finish tea at seven. - I know what time it is.

0:23:21 > 0:23:23How was your evening?

0:23:23 > 0:23:25Best night of my life.

0:23:34 > 0:23:36Night, Mum.

0:23:41 > 0:23:45I think there were two violins, one cello, two violas,

0:23:45 > 0:23:48- a harp... - I don't wanna hear about Ravel!

0:23:48 > 0:23:52- I wanna know what else was on the programme.- Nothing like that.

0:23:52 > 0:23:56- He was a perfect gentleman. He just wants to show me things.- Things?!

0:23:56 > 0:23:58Plural?! My God!

0:23:58 > 0:24:01I knew that Jane Eyre would eventually work its magic on you.

0:24:01 > 0:24:04I assume that's what you're so animated about.

0:24:04 > 0:24:08- Jane Eyre and Jenny's new boyfriend. - He's not my boyfriend.

0:24:08 > 0:24:12- He's more of a man friend. - He's got a sports car! It's maroon.

0:24:12 > 0:24:15So, could we call him a Mr Rochester figure?

0:24:15 > 0:24:18I think he must be as blind as Mr Rochester.

0:24:18 > 0:24:22I'm trying to steer the subject away from Jenny's lurid love life

0:24:22 > 0:24:25and into the matter in hand. It is clear from this evidence

0:24:25 > 0:24:30that you know far too much about the former and nothing about the latter.

0:24:30 > 0:24:32I have to admit that Jenny is an expert on both.

0:24:32 > 0:24:35Excellent as always, Jenny.

0:24:47 > 0:24:51- Hello.- Hello. - Hello.- Hello.

0:24:51 > 0:24:53(CHUCKLES)

0:25:07 > 0:25:10Any further bids?

0:25:10 > 0:25:14- Sold, then, for 60 guineas. - (Hello.)- (You're late.)

0:25:15 > 0:25:19We now turn to lot 41,

0:25:19 > 0:25:22"The Tree of Forgiveness" by Sir Edward Burne-Jones.

0:25:22 > 0:25:25This is a rare opportunity to purchase a key work

0:25:25 > 0:25:29of the Pre-Raphaelite movement. Who will start me off at 100 guineas?

0:25:29 > 0:25:32- (Is it that one?) - (Yes, that's the one.)

0:25:32 > 0:25:3550 guineas?

0:25:35 > 0:25:3820 guineas? Thank you.

0:25:38 > 0:25:4040?

0:25:40 > 0:25:44- Thank you. Do I hear 60? - (WHISPERS)

0:25:44 > 0:25:4680 guineas? Thank you, sir.

0:25:46 > 0:25:51Another one, 100 guineas? 120?

0:25:55 > 0:25:58- No further bids? - (Your turn.)

0:25:58 > 0:26:01- What? - Any further bids?- (Your turn.)

0:26:01 > 0:26:05- Any more?- (Quick!)- 120 guineas from the very eager new bidder.

0:26:05 > 0:26:09140, madam? Thank you. 160?

0:26:11 > 0:26:13180. Thank you.

0:26:13 > 0:26:16200 guineas?

0:26:16 > 0:26:18220?

0:26:19 > 0:26:22Another one, madam?

0:26:27 > 0:26:32Sold for 200 guineas. Thank you.

0:26:32 > 0:26:35- Your name, please? - Mellor!

0:26:35 > 0:26:41- (CHUCKLES)- Now we move on to lot 42. - Thank you very much.

0:26:41 > 0:26:43I couldn't have bought it without you.

0:26:44 > 0:26:47A couple of years ago, you'd pick one of them up for 50 quid.

0:26:47 > 0:26:50- No-one was interested. - Oh, I'd have been so interested.

0:26:51 > 0:26:54As you can see, I just love things.

0:26:57 > 0:27:02- That's not a Lockey-Hill! - There aren't many people

0:27:02 > 0:27:04- who come in here and say that. - Certainly not me.

0:27:04 > 0:27:07- Oh, it's beautiful.- Thank you. - Do you play?- I used to.

0:27:07 > 0:27:11I vowed to myself that I'd own one, and now I do, I don't touch it.

0:27:11 > 0:27:14It's vulgar really, putting it on display.

0:27:14 > 0:27:18- Give it to Jenny.- Huh?- I think that would be even more vulgar.

0:27:18 > 0:27:21- Play for us, Jenny.- No, no. One day, when I'm good enough.

0:27:21 > 0:27:24- Oh, she's good enough now. - David, you've never seen me play.

0:27:25 > 0:27:28I can come and hear you in Oxford, when you get there.

0:27:28 > 0:27:32We should all go and spend a weekend in Oxford. Straw boaters...

0:27:32 > 0:27:35- ..punting, cream teas, anti... - Boats?- ..quarian bookshops.

0:27:35 > 0:27:40- Bit of business, if we can find it. What about next weekend?- Hm.

0:27:40 > 0:27:44- Yes. - I wouldn't be allowed to do that.

0:27:46 > 0:27:50- I'll talk to them. - You're going to ask my father

0:27:50 > 0:27:54- if you can take me away? He'd have you arrested.- We'll see.

0:27:55 > 0:27:59- I bet you can't.- How much?- I'd be careful, if I were you, Jenny.

0:27:59 > 0:28:02- You don't know who you're dealing with.- Half-a-crown.

0:28:03 > 0:28:05You're on.

0:28:07 > 0:28:10- How do you know Danny? - Oh, you know.

0:28:10 > 0:28:14We kept bumping into each other... and we became pals.

0:28:15 > 0:28:18We've ended up doing business together when it suits us.

0:28:18 > 0:28:21- What kind of business? - Property. A bit of art dealing.

0:28:23 > 0:28:26Some buying and selling, this and that.

0:28:34 > 0:28:37- All right, just be two ticks. - OK.

0:28:45 > 0:28:48- (CHUCKLES) - (MAN) Mr Goldman, good to see you!

0:28:48 > 0:28:52- (CHATTER) - Jolly good. Madam. All right.

0:28:56 > 0:29:00- (CHILD GIGGLES)- All right, I got this one. And, um...- Put me down!

0:29:02 > 0:29:04Go on, then.

0:29:42 > 0:29:46- Sorry about that. - (CLOSES GLOVEBOX)

0:29:46 > 0:29:50- How do you know those Negro people? - They're clients.

0:29:50 > 0:29:52Clients?

0:29:52 > 0:29:54Schwarzers have to live somewhere.

0:29:54 > 0:29:57It's not as if they can rent off their own kind, is it?

0:30:02 > 0:30:06Test results for the Virgil translation.

0:30:06 > 0:30:10We'll start from the bottom. Patricia.

0:30:10 > 0:30:12Absent. Margaret.

0:30:12 > 0:30:1748 per cent. Jenny...

0:30:19 > 0:30:2252 per cent.

0:30:22 > 0:30:26That would just about scrape a pass in the exam proper.

0:30:26 > 0:30:29Not good enough for Oxford candidates.

0:30:29 > 0:30:31(SIGHS)

0:30:34 > 0:30:38- It's her Latin, isn't it? - Everyone's doing their best, Jack.

0:30:39 > 0:30:43But what if everyone's best isn't good enough? What do we do then? Hm?

0:30:43 > 0:30:46Perhaps the whole thing's been a waste of money anyway.

0:30:46 > 0:30:49- You don't mean that.- What's she going to do with an English degree?

0:30:49 > 0:30:53If she's going to spend three years playing that bloody cello,

0:30:53 > 0:30:55talking in French to a bunch of beatniks,

0:30:55 > 0:30:57I'm just throwing good money after bad.

0:30:57 > 0:31:00She might meet a nice lawyer, but she could do that

0:31:00 > 0:31:04- at a dinner dance tomorrow.- That's the point of an Oxford education(!)

0:31:04 > 0:31:07It's the expensive alternative to a dinner dance.

0:31:07 > 0:31:12- What about private tuition? - Can anybody hear me?

0:31:12 > 0:31:15- How much this is going to cost me? - Five shillings an hour.

0:31:15 > 0:31:18- Maybe a little more for A-level. - Five bob!

0:31:18 > 0:31:21Five bob here, five bob there. Next thing, that's our savings gone.

0:31:21 > 0:31:26- What else are we spending five bob on?- Oh, nothing? No, nothing!

0:31:26 > 0:31:29All of this is free(!) This vase is free!

0:31:29 > 0:31:31It was. It was a present from Auntie Vi.

0:31:31 > 0:31:33That chair, this sofa, it's all free!

0:31:33 > 0:31:37We don't have to pay for any of it. That's the beauty of life, Jenny.

0:31:37 > 0:31:39You don't have to pay for anything.

0:31:39 > 0:31:42There's a lovely Oxford tree growing in the garden.

0:31:42 > 0:31:44Lucky for you, because that's Oxford taken care of.

0:31:44 > 0:31:47And there's a whole orchard of school trees,

0:31:47 > 0:31:50so that school is free. And I think there's even a private tuition tree.

0:31:50 > 0:31:53- I'll go and check, shall I? - Jack?- It's all right,

0:31:53 > 0:31:56I'll only be a second, because there's a clump of them

0:31:56 > 0:31:58surrounding the pocket money tree!

0:31:58 > 0:32:01I'll make sure they're all nice and safe.

0:32:01 > 0:32:04You might be lucky. There might be a man with deep pockets

0:32:04 > 0:32:08growing out there. Because God knows you're gonna need one!

0:32:09 > 0:32:12(SLAMS DOOR)

0:32:13 > 0:32:17- You can always go to secretarial college with Hattie.- Oh, thanks.

0:32:17 > 0:32:19Charming!

0:32:19 > 0:32:22- Oh, God, no. - Hello!

0:32:22 > 0:32:25Hello...Graham.

0:32:25 > 0:32:28(EXHALES) I haven't seen you in ages.

0:32:32 > 0:32:35It went a bit wrong, didn't it? The, uh... The tea party, I mean.

0:32:35 > 0:32:38(SNIGGERS)

0:32:40 > 0:32:43- Was it because of the year-off thing? Because I...- No.

0:32:45 > 0:32:49I just have so much work to do if I'm gonna get the grades I need.

0:32:49 > 0:32:54- Yeah. She doesn't have time for boys.- (LAUGHS)

0:33:00 > 0:33:03- Bye, Graham. - Bye.

0:33:08 > 0:33:10(CLEARS THROAT)

0:33:13 > 0:33:15(CHATTING / LAUGHING)

0:33:25 > 0:33:28- Oh, you can do all the Goons. - No, my Eccles is no good.

0:33:28 > 0:33:31- Oh, no, you've got him. - No, no.- (LAUGHTER)

0:33:31 > 0:33:35- (IMPERSONATES CHARACTERS) - Hello?

0:33:35 > 0:33:37Oh, Jenny... (CHUCKLES)

0:33:37 > 0:33:40..David does the most fantastic Bluebottle.

0:33:40 > 0:33:43- You came to see my parents? - Oh, why is that so hard to imagine?

0:33:43 > 0:33:47Why are you drinking? It's not Christmas.

0:33:47 > 0:33:49There's a lot you don't know about us.

0:33:49 > 0:33:51- We had a life before you came along. - That's true.

0:33:51 > 0:33:54I'm only going on what I've seen for the last 16 years.

0:33:54 > 0:33:58I'm trying to think what you missed. Nothing much comes to mind.

0:33:58 > 0:34:00(ALL LAUGH)

0:34:01 > 0:34:05Um, anyway, I've got a huge pile of Latin translation to do.

0:34:05 > 0:34:08You didn't tell us David went to Oxford.

0:34:08 > 0:34:11No...I didn't.

0:34:11 > 0:34:14- For all the good it did me. - Isn't that funny?

0:34:14 > 0:34:16Extraordinary!

0:34:16 > 0:34:19I was just telling Jack that I'm going back next weekend.

0:34:19 > 0:34:21I visit my old English professor every now and again.

0:34:21 > 0:34:25See, that's what you need, Jenny. Someone on the inside track.

0:34:25 > 0:34:28- It's not always what you know, is it, David?- Too true.

0:34:28 > 0:34:30Have you ever come across Clive Lewis?

0:34:30 > 0:34:32Dad's never come across anyone.

0:34:32 > 0:34:37He wrote a children's book called, The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe

0:34:37 > 0:34:39that did very well, I believe.

0:34:39 > 0:34:42- CS Lewis?- To us he was a codger who taught Medieval Literature,

0:34:42 > 0:34:45but I came to know him very well.

0:34:45 > 0:34:48We just...got along.

0:34:48 > 0:34:53- Jenny used to devour those books. - I'd love to meet him.

0:34:58 > 0:35:01I'm sorry. Am I being slow on the uptake?

0:35:01 > 0:35:04Would Jenny like to come at the weekend?

0:35:04 > 0:35:08Oh, not this weekend, but sometime, perhaps. Yes.

0:35:08 > 0:35:11How often do you see him?

0:35:11 > 0:35:14Not very often. Every couple of years.

0:35:15 > 0:35:18- Maybe next time. - Oh.

0:35:18 > 0:35:21Well, I suppose...

0:35:22 > 0:35:24Would she have to stay the night?

0:35:24 > 0:35:29I wouldn't recommend driving home after one of those Oxford dinners!

0:35:29 > 0:35:32- (CHUCKLES)- Clive could get her a room at the college.

0:35:32 > 0:35:34That's easy enough.

0:35:35 > 0:35:39Seems like too good an opportunity to pass up.

0:35:40 > 0:35:43It wouldn't be a bother, would it, David?

0:35:44 > 0:35:47(GRAMOPHONE) # We walk along hand in hand...

0:35:47 > 0:35:51- Come on!- Just putting a few things in a bag! Don't worry!

0:35:51 > 0:35:55# Yeah, we both understand

0:35:55 > 0:35:58# Mmmm, sweet nothings... #

0:36:00 > 0:36:03- Come on! - We're nearly ready!

0:36:03 > 0:36:06- Be there in two ticks! - (GIGGLES)

0:36:06 > 0:36:08How can they only be nearly ready?

0:36:08 > 0:36:11I wouldn't be surprised if three of them came out of there.

0:36:11 > 0:36:15That's the only explanation, they're making themselves a friend.

0:36:15 > 0:36:17Ladies, come on, let's go!

0:36:17 > 0:36:20There. Have a look in the corner. Open the door.

0:36:20 > 0:36:23You should keep that one if you want it.

0:36:24 > 0:36:28- Well, I can only wear so many in one day.- Thank you.

0:36:28 > 0:36:32What about tonight? Have you got a pretty enough nightie?

0:36:33 > 0:36:35Won't I be sharing a room with you?

0:36:35 > 0:36:38Oh, you haven't slept with him?

0:36:38 > 0:36:42- No.- Good for you. - Really? Do you think so?

0:36:42 > 0:36:46- Yes. You're only 16. You don't want to get preggers, do you?- No.

0:36:46 > 0:36:48No, I wouldn't... I wouldn't let that happen.

0:36:48 > 0:36:53- I want to wait till I'm 17. On my 17th birthday, hopefully.- With David?

0:36:53 > 0:36:57- Oh, golly, it will be with David, won't it?- If that's what you want.

0:36:57 > 0:37:00Anyway, I'll find you a nightie.

0:37:05 > 0:37:07Ta-da!

0:37:13 > 0:37:15(GIGGLES)

0:37:42 > 0:37:47- Can't we get out and have a look around?- Later. If we have time.

0:37:47 > 0:37:51- Imagine spending three years here. - (SHUDDERS) I know!

0:37:55 > 0:37:57(HUBBUB OF VOICES)

0:37:58 > 0:38:01Why are university girls so strange looking?

0:38:01 > 0:38:06Most girls aren't born ugly, but most girl students seems to be,

0:38:06 > 0:38:09so there must be something about these places that make you fat,

0:38:09 > 0:38:13- or spotty, or...short-sighted. - Well, when you look at it like that,

0:38:13 > 0:38:17that's proper scientific analysis. Can't argue with science.

0:38:17 > 0:38:19(LAUGHS) I still don't quite understand

0:38:23 > 0:38:25- Books? - Sorry?

0:38:25 > 0:38:28You want to read English books?

0:38:28 > 0:38:31Reading English is just another way of saying...

0:38:31 > 0:38:34You're wasting your breath.

0:38:34 > 0:38:37- Tomorrow we'll get more of a feel for the place.- Absolutely.

0:38:37 > 0:38:39This place would be good for a business.

0:38:39 > 0:38:42- All those old ladies wandering around.- Old ladies?

0:38:42 > 0:38:46- Bet the place is rife with stats. - Please explain what stats are.

0:38:46 > 0:38:49- You're always going on about them. - It isn't very interesting.

0:38:49 > 0:38:52- But you two are interested. - Because we are not very interesting.

0:38:52 > 0:38:56- They're not.- That's why we need you here, to save us from ourselves.

0:38:56 > 0:39:00- (GIGGLES)- To put some intelligence and culture into our lives.

0:39:00 > 0:39:04- Sing to us! Sing to us! - Please don't make me sing to you.

0:39:04 > 0:39:07Please don't make us talk about work.

0:39:08 > 0:39:10So...now,

0:39:10 > 0:39:14- is he Clive, do you think, or CS? - I'm confused now.

0:39:14 > 0:39:18- I thought you'd made him up. - No, we...

0:39:18 > 0:39:20Never mind.

0:39:20 > 0:39:24(GIGGLES) "To dear Jenny. With the pleasure of meeting you."

0:39:24 > 0:39:26"Come and see me again soon. Clive."

0:39:26 > 0:39:29- (CHUCKLES) - Dirty old man.

0:39:29 > 0:39:31- Well? - Mm.

0:39:44 > 0:39:48We've got these exact same curtains at home.

0:39:48 > 0:39:50Let's not talk about curtains.

0:39:50 > 0:39:54You look...beautiful.

0:39:55 > 0:39:58- David. - Hm?

0:39:59 > 0:40:01There's something you should know.

0:40:04 > 0:40:07I'm a virgin.

0:40:07 > 0:40:09And I want to stay that way until I'm 17.

0:40:10 > 0:40:13I think that's good.

0:40:13 > 0:40:15I think that's right.

0:40:21 > 0:40:25We can still be romantic, though, can't we?

0:40:27 > 0:40:29Yes, of course.

0:40:30 > 0:40:33- As long as it's not actually... - Minnie.

0:40:33 > 0:40:36Is that me?

0:40:37 > 0:40:41Yes. Er, you're my Minnie Mouse...

0:40:43 > 0:40:46..and I'm your bubbalub.

0:40:48 > 0:40:52OK... (CHUCKLES) ..if that's what you want to do.

0:40:53 > 0:40:55- Minnie. - Yes, David?

0:40:55 > 0:40:58Bubbalub.

0:40:58 > 0:41:01Bub-lub.

0:41:01 > 0:41:03(CHUCKLES)

0:41:08 > 0:41:10May I have a look?

0:41:11 > 0:41:13Just a peek.

0:41:15 > 0:41:17You just want to see them?

0:41:55 > 0:41:57Thank you.

0:42:10 > 0:42:12(BIRDSONG)

0:42:14 > 0:42:17- I think there's a house for sale around here.- Really?

0:42:21 > 0:42:24- Might be worth a look. - Mm-hm.

0:42:26 > 0:42:28Here you are.

0:42:32 > 0:42:34Jenny!

0:42:34 > 0:42:38- Aren't you coming?- We don't go in. - What are you talking about?

0:42:38 > 0:42:42Go and get a cup of tea somewhere. Helen will look after you.

0:42:42 > 0:42:45I don't need looking after. David!

0:42:45 > 0:42:48I'm not gonna tell you a second time. Run along.

0:42:56 > 0:42:58(BELL TOLLS)

0:42:58 > 0:43:01- Oh, they won't be long, either way. - Either way?

0:43:01 > 0:43:04Well, sometimes they find something and sometimes they don't.

0:43:04 > 0:43:08When they do find something we often have to leave quite quickly.

0:43:08 > 0:43:11They can be quite naughty sometimes.

0:43:12 > 0:43:14- Thank you. - Cheerio.

0:43:14 > 0:43:18Careful, careful, careful.

0:43:18 > 0:43:20Come on.

0:43:20 > 0:43:22- Helen. - Pass it back.

0:43:22 > 0:43:24Good!

0:43:24 > 0:43:27- Jenny! - What?

0:43:27 > 0:43:31You can stand there if you like, but I wouldn't recommend it.

0:43:31 > 0:43:34(ENGINE STARTS / REVS)

0:43:45 > 0:43:48Cooee! Jenny.

0:43:50 > 0:43:54Sorry about being a little brisk back there, Jenny.

0:43:54 > 0:43:57It's just the way we do things. Silly, really.

0:44:12 > 0:44:14Here, don't forget your case.

0:44:15 > 0:44:17- Who's coming up for a drink? - Me.

0:44:17 > 0:44:20No...you go. I'll make my own way home.

0:44:23 > 0:44:25- Jenny. - (HORN TOOTS)

0:44:30 > 0:44:32Jenny!

0:44:44 > 0:44:47It's an old map. A Speed.

0:44:47 > 0:44:50Poor dear didn't even know what it was.

0:44:50 > 0:44:53What a waste. It shouldn't spend its life on a wall

0:44:53 > 0:44:56in...wherever the hell we were.

0:44:56 > 0:44:59It should be with us. We know how to look after it properly.

0:44:59 > 0:45:03- We...liberated it.- Liberated? - Yeah.- That's one word for it.

0:45:03 > 0:45:06Don't be bourgeois. You're better than that.

0:45:07 > 0:45:11You drink everything I put in front of you down in one,

0:45:11 > 0:45:16then you slam your glass down and ask for more. It's wonderful.

0:45:17 > 0:45:21We're not clever like you, so we have to be clever in other ways

0:45:21 > 0:45:25because if we weren't, there would be...no...fun.

0:45:25 > 0:45:29We have to be clever with maps and... and...

0:45:29 > 0:45:33You want to know what stats are? Stats are old ladies

0:45:33 > 0:45:36who are scared of Coloured people. So we move the Coloureds in

0:45:36 > 0:45:39and the old ladies move out and I buy their flats cheap.

0:45:39 > 0:45:42That's what I do. So now you know.

0:45:43 > 0:45:47And...if you don't like it...

0:45:48 > 0:45:51..I'll understand, and you can go back to Twickenham

0:45:51 > 0:45:54and listen to the Home Service...

0:45:54 > 0:45:58..and do your Latin homework. (CHUCKLES)

0:45:58 > 0:46:01But these weekends, the restaurants and the concerts,

0:46:01 > 0:46:04they don't grow on trees.

0:46:07 > 0:46:09This is who we are, Jenny.

0:46:23 > 0:46:25(CHUCKLES)

0:46:29 > 0:46:31- Oh!- (GIGGLES) - That's better.

0:46:43 > 0:46:45(GIGGLES)

0:46:47 > 0:46:50- Come on, you two! - Come on up!

0:46:50 > 0:46:52- (GIGGLES) - You can have my olive!

0:46:55 > 0:46:56Come on.

0:47:11 > 0:47:13I suppose you have homework to do.

0:47:21 > 0:47:25You have no idea how boring everything was before I met you.

0:47:27 > 0:47:31"Action is character," our English teacher says.

0:47:31 > 0:47:36I think it means that if we never did anything, we wouldn't be anybody.

0:47:37 > 0:47:40And I never did anything before I met you.

0:47:40 > 0:47:43And sometimes I think no-one's ever done anything

0:47:43 > 0:47:47in this whole stupid country... apart from you.

0:48:18 > 0:48:20(CHUCKLES)

0:48:21 > 0:48:24- OK. - All right.

0:48:27 > 0:48:30There you are. Good night.

0:48:44 > 0:48:46Marjorie, look at this.

0:48:50 > 0:48:52"Clive."

0:48:52 > 0:48:55- Oh, lucky girl!- (CHUCKLES) Never a dull moment with David, eh?

0:48:55 > 0:48:58Better than that young man you brought home for tea.

0:48:58 > 0:49:00David's a lot older than Graham.

0:49:00 > 0:49:04Graham could live to be 200, you'll never see him swanning around

0:49:04 > 0:49:08- with famous authors.- He might become a famous author, for all you know.

0:49:08 > 0:49:12Becoming one isn't like knowing one. That shows you're well connected.

0:49:12 > 0:49:14Very impressive young man, David.

0:49:14 > 0:49:18Well, I must admit, life's a little brighter with him around.

0:49:28 > 0:49:32- What the hell are those?! - Russian Sobranies.

0:49:32 > 0:49:36- Where did they come from?- She probably bought them from the Savoy,

0:49:36 > 0:49:40or Claridges, or the opera, or some fancy nightclub.

0:49:40 > 0:49:44- Who knows with Jenny? - Paris. You can't buy them here.

0:49:44 > 0:49:46- You never bought them yourself? - No, I never.

0:49:46 > 0:49:50- Oh, shut up, you stuck-up cow! - (GIGGLES)

0:49:51 > 0:49:54But I'll bring you some back, if you like.

0:49:54 > 0:49:56- You are joking? - Non.

0:50:01 > 0:50:06Wait. Isn't it your birthday next Thursday?

0:50:06 > 0:50:09- Might be. - Oh, my God.

0:50:09 > 0:50:12- Your birthday? - I would not like to be you.

0:50:12 > 0:50:15All those suppers you've had off him. Ouch!

0:50:15 > 0:50:18You've such a Victorian attitude to sex, you two.

0:50:18 > 0:50:22- Your parents won't let you go, will they?- We haven't told them yet.

0:50:22 > 0:50:25But David will come up with some story, he usually does.

0:50:25 > 0:50:27Yeah, I've noticed that.

0:50:27 > 0:50:31Chanel perfume, Chanel perfume. Chanel lipstick, Chanel lipstick.

0:50:31 > 0:50:34Those cigarettes, Sobranies, ten packets each.

0:50:34 > 0:50:39Er... howmuch is the Chanel perfume?

0:50:39 > 0:50:42Are you the girl going to Paris or not? Because...

0:50:47 > 0:50:49Tina, top button.

0:50:50 > 0:50:54Jenny...the headmistress wants a word with you.

0:50:59 > 0:51:01Come.

0:51:02 > 0:51:04Ah, Miss Mellor.

0:51:07 > 0:51:11We're all very excited about your forthcoming trip to Paris.

0:51:11 > 0:51:15Our excitement, indeed, knows no bounds.

0:51:18 > 0:51:20An older man, I understand.

0:51:22 > 0:51:24A word of warning, Miss Mellor.

0:51:26 > 0:51:30There may well have been the odd... sixth-form girl

0:51:30 > 0:51:34who has lost... an important part of herself,

0:51:34 > 0:51:37perhaps the best part, while under our supervision.

0:51:37 > 0:51:40If, however, we are made aware of that loss, the young lady

0:51:40 > 0:51:43would have to continue her studies elsewhere,

0:51:43 > 0:51:47if she still has any use for A levels. Do I make myself clear?

0:52:12 > 0:52:16- Thanks for inviting me.- Oh, it was Marjorie's idea, not mine.

0:52:18 > 0:52:20- Not even Jenny's, for that matter. - Dad!

0:56:14 > 0:56:17- I pushed the boat out and got us a suite.- A suite?

0:56:17 > 0:56:21Yeah. If work stops us from getting to Paris until tomorrow,

0:56:21 > 0:56:24then, work can buy us a nice hotel room.

1:00:59 > 1:01:02But I can't accept it.

1:01:02 > 1:01:03Why not?

1:01:04 > 1:01:07It's because of people like you that I plough through

1:01:07 > 1:01:11illiterate essays by Sandra Lovell about her pony.

1:01:11 > 1:01:14But I know where this came from, Jenny.

1:01:14 > 1:01:17And if I took it,

1:01:17 > 1:01:20I'll feel I would be betraying both of us.

1:01:33 > 1:01:35Jenny...

1:01:52 > 1:01:54I'm not quite sure what you're trying to tell me.

1:01:54 > 1:01:57I'm telling you to go to Oxford, no matter what.

1:02:22 > 1:02:25and been to jazz clubs, and watched wonderful films.

1:02:25 > 1:02:27Heard beautiful music.

1:02:29 > 1:02:32- Jenny, are you taking precautions? - It's nothing to do with that.

1:02:32 > 1:02:35- Isn't it?- Maybe all our lives are going to end up with pony essays.

1:02:35 > 1:02:37Or housework.

1:02:37 > 1:02:41Yes, maybe we'll go to Oxford, but if we die the moment we graduate,

1:02:41 > 1:02:44isn't it what we do before that counts?

1:02:48 > 1:02:51I'm sorry you think I'm dead.

1:02:53 > 1:02:57- I don't think you're dead. I just... - You'd better go to your next class.

1:03:23 > 1:03:25I don't want to miss him. Pick up your bob on your way out.

1:03:25 > 1:03:28I won 10 shillings?!

1:03:28 > 1:03:32- Who is this man, anyway? - Peter Rachman.- A complete bastard.

1:03:32 > 1:03:35Why do we have to see him here?

1:03:35 > 1:03:37Cos he's not a sort of chap with an office.

1:04:05 > 1:04:08Jenny got two As and a B in her mock A levels.

1:04:08 > 1:04:11- Like everyone in this sophisticated establishment.- The B was in Latin.

1:04:11 > 1:04:15Well, seriously, congratulations. Excuse us.

1:04:20 > 1:04:22Don't worry too much.

1:04:23 > 1:04:24About what?

1:04:24 > 1:04:28Someone told me that in about 50 years, no-one will speak Latin.

1:04:28 > 1:04:32Not even Latin people. So don't worry about your B.

1:04:37 > 1:04:41- He's a bastard.- You wouldn't want him to marry your sister.

1:04:41 > 1:04:43Or talk to him in a club, come to that.

1:05:31 > 1:05:34I'm still trying to work out what makes good things good.

1:06:56 > 1:06:59It wouldn't have been the right one, but it would've done for tonight.

1:06:59 > 1:07:01Oh, David!

1:07:03 > 1:07:05I'm serious.

1:07:09 > 1:07:12You're very sweet.

1:08:07 > 1:08:10What if I got married instead of going to college?

1:08:10 > 1:08:13- Married? - Married.

1:08:14 > 1:08:19- Well, it would on depend who it was, - Would it? That's interesting.

1:08:19 > 1:08:23- Course! I wouldn't want you married off just for the sake of it.- Thanks.

1:08:23 > 1:08:25- Has somebody asked you? - Yes.

1:08:25 > 1:08:28Who?

1:08:28 > 1:08:31- David?- No. A man I just met walking his dog.

1:08:31 > 1:08:35- What did you tell him? - Nothing yet.

1:08:35 > 1:08:39Do you have a choice? Or is it too late?

1:08:39 > 1:08:43Of course she's got a choice! An interesting choice, too, eh?

1:08:43 > 1:08:46This is where you're supposed to say, "But what about Oxford?"

1:08:46 > 1:08:48Look at it another way,

1:08:48 > 1:08:51you wouldn't really need to go now, would you?

1:08:51 > 1:08:56I wouldn't need to go. Would you like to expand on that?

1:08:56 > 1:08:58You'd be looked after.

1:08:58 > 1:09:02All that Latin! All those essays!

1:09:02 > 1:09:05What was the point? Why not send me prowling round nightclubs?

1:09:08 > 1:09:11I don't know about nightclubs, I know about education.

1:10:04 > 1:10:07- I'm gonna be a bridesmaid?! - (ALL CHATTER)

1:10:12 > 1:10:15Yes, but none of it's gonna ruin their lives.

1:10:16 > 1:10:19We have a difference of opinion about that.

1:10:22 > 1:10:25How far advanced are these ridiculous plans?

1:10:25 > 1:10:28Have you set a date? Have you decided on a church?

1:10:28 > 1:10:31We won't be getting married in a church. David's Jewish.

1:10:33 > 1:10:34Jewish?

1:10:36 > 1:10:39He's a Jew?

1:10:39 > 1:10:42You are aware, I take it, that the Jews killed Our Lord.

1:10:42 > 1:10:46And you're aware, I suppose, that Our Lord was Jewish.

1:10:46 > 1:10:49I suppose he told you that.

1:10:50 > 1:10:53We're all very sorry about what happened during the war,

1:10:53 > 1:10:56but that's absolutely no excuse for that sort of malicious

1:10:56 > 1:10:59and untruthful propaganda. Anyway,

1:10:59 > 1:11:03I can see you're far more in need of responsible advice than I realised.

1:11:04 > 1:11:08Nobody does anything worth doing without a degree.

1:11:08 > 1:11:12Nobody does anything worth doing with a degree. No woman, anyway.

1:11:12 > 1:11:15So, what I do isn't worth doing? Or what Miss Stubbs does?

1:11:15 > 1:11:19Or Mrs Wilson? Or any of us? None of us would be here without a degree.

1:11:19 > 1:11:22- You do realise that. Yes, studying is hard and boring -- Boring?!

1:11:22 > 1:11:27- I'm sorry?- Studying is hard and boring? Teaching is hard and boring?

1:11:27 > 1:11:30So what you're telling me is to be bored and then bored

1:11:30 > 1:11:33and finally bored again, this time for life?

1:11:33 > 1:11:36This whole stupid country is bored.

1:11:36 > 1:11:39There's no life in it, or colour, or fun.

1:11:39 > 1:11:42It's just as well the Russians are gonna drop a nuclear bomb on us!

1:11:42 > 1:11:46So my choice is to do something hard and boring

1:11:46 > 1:11:49or to marry my...Jew,

1:11:49 > 1:11:52and go to Paris and Rome and listen to jazz

1:11:52 > 1:11:57and read and eat good food in nice restaurants and have fun.

1:11:57 > 1:11:59It's not enough to educate us,

1:11:59 > 1:12:02you've got to tell us why you're doing it!

1:12:04 > 1:12:08It doesn't have to be teaching. There's the civil service.

1:12:12 > 1:12:15I don't wish to be impertinent, Miss Walters,

1:12:15 > 1:12:18but it is an argument worth rehearsing.

1:12:18 > 1:12:22You never know, someone else might want to know the point of it one day.

1:13:10 > 1:13:13- Where did you find him? - I can't tell you.

1:13:13 > 1:13:16I think he likes you. Do you like her?

1:13:16 > 1:13:19You do? You don't remember? It's Jenny!

1:13:19 > 1:13:22You remember her from last time. "I don't." You do!

1:13:22 > 1:13:25- Naughty. Pardon? That's revolting! - (GIGGLES)

1:13:25 > 1:13:27Stick to your own species.

1:13:27 > 1:13:30He wants to kiss you. I think.

1:13:30 > 1:13:32- Is that naughty? - (GIGGLES)

1:13:32 > 1:13:35We're engaged.

1:13:35 > 1:13:37- No! Really? - Yeah.

1:13:37 > 1:13:39- Engaged?- Show her. - Yes, look!

1:13:40 > 1:13:43Gosh! That's fantastic news!

1:13:43 > 1:13:45Thank you.

1:13:45 > 1:13:46Congratulations.

1:13:46 > 1:13:49I knew you'd see sense. You'll stay pretty now.

1:13:49 > 1:13:53- Can I still read?- Of course, but it doesn't have to be books now.

1:13:53 > 1:13:57- Magazines will do. You learn more from them anyway.- Oh, Helen.

1:13:57 > 1:14:01Well you won't be laughing, David, when she gets speccy and spotty.

1:14:08 > 1:14:11Danny didn't seem very pleased about our engagement.

1:14:11 > 1:14:15I noticed that too. Thought he might be a bit jealous.

1:14:15 > 1:14:19- Jealous?- I'm going to keep him away from you.- (GIGGLES)

1:14:26 > 1:14:29I mean, what is one supposed to order as a starter anyway?

1:14:29 > 1:14:32- How will I know what is a starter? - We've been through this.

1:14:32 > 1:14:35It'll be quite clearly marked on the menu. (DOORBELL RINGS)

1:14:35 > 1:14:40Can't you just go on your own? I'll be happy with a tin of salmon.

1:14:44 > 1:14:46- Hello. - Hello.

1:14:47 > 1:14:49- Oh. - (GIGGLES)

1:14:50 > 1:14:53Ready? I think you'll like this, Jack.

1:14:53 > 1:14:57- The wine list is as good as any I've seen.- Yes, someone told me that.

1:14:57 > 1:15:00David, probably. Who else would it have been?

1:15:01 > 1:15:04- Madam. - I was hoping you'd take us in this.

1:15:04 > 1:15:07You won't want to drive anything else.

1:15:07 > 1:15:09Mind you, it drinks petrol.

1:15:09 > 1:15:12Afraid we'll have to stop on the way into town.

1:15:12 > 1:15:15- I feel like Eamonn Andrews. - Is that good?

1:15:15 > 1:15:19- Eamonn Andrews is the poshest person Jack can imagine.- (ALL CHUCKLE)

1:15:33 > 1:15:36- How are you tonight, sir? - Very well.

1:15:36 > 1:15:39Might as well fill her up.

1:15:39 > 1:15:42I'm gonna make a quick call. I'll be two ticks.

1:15:49 > 1:15:52Do you think I should offer to help pay for the petrol?

1:15:52 > 1:15:55Would he be insulted, do you think?

1:15:55 > 1:15:59I-I know he said tonight was his treat. Does that apply to petrol?

1:15:59 > 1:16:01I'm sure it does, Jack.

1:16:08 > 1:16:10- (HANDLES RATTLES) - Oh, Jack!

1:16:10 > 1:16:12Oh, God! It just came out.

1:16:23 > 1:16:25Cheers.

1:16:28 > 1:16:32- Jenny, Jenny. Um... - Take us home.

1:16:32 > 1:16:36- What's wrong?- I'm afraid there's been... Jenny's had a shock.

1:16:36 > 1:16:39- What's happened?- It's just another one of David's muddles

1:16:39 > 1:16:41and misunderstandings.

1:16:42 > 1:16:46I don't want to hear another word from anybody. Take us home. Now.

1:16:56 > 1:17:01- You can take care of this, can't you, David?- Go inside, Dad.

1:17:04 > 1:17:08"Mr and Mrs David Goldman... Mr and Mrs David Goldman..."

1:17:08 > 1:17:11"Mr and Mrs David"... You're married!

1:17:11 > 1:17:14Legally, yes, but...

1:17:14 > 1:17:17- When were you going to tell me? - Soon. I...

1:17:17 > 1:17:20It's just never seemed like the right time.

1:17:23 > 1:17:27- You seemed so happy and I was happy. - You were living with your wife,

1:17:27 > 1:17:30all this time?! Round the corner?!

1:17:30 > 1:17:34Byron Avenue! It's no wonder we kept bumping into each other, is it?!

1:17:34 > 1:17:36- What number? - Thirty-four.

1:17:41 > 1:17:44Don't be like this.

1:17:47 > 1:17:51I have nothing. I didn't take my exams.

1:17:51 > 1:17:54I d... I left school!

1:17:56 > 1:17:59Where's it all gone now?

1:17:59 > 1:18:02I can get a divorce.

1:18:04 > 1:18:08Everything will turn out for the best.

1:18:16 > 1:18:18Go and tell them.

1:18:20 > 1:18:23Go and tell them and then go and tell your wife.

1:18:24 > 1:18:26They won't listen now.

1:18:26 > 1:18:28All right?

1:18:28 > 1:18:32I'll come round tomorrow, when everyone's feeling a bit calmer.

1:18:32 > 1:18:36Please don't make me... Please don't make me tell them on my own.

1:18:36 > 1:18:39You owe me that much. You owe THEM that much.

1:18:39 > 1:18:42I owe them much more than that.

1:19:04 > 1:19:07Two minutes and then I'll come out and drag you in.

1:19:42 > 1:19:45(SIGHS)

1:20:02 > 1:20:04What's going on?

1:20:07 > 1:20:11He's helping himself to some Dutch courage before facing you.

1:20:12 > 1:20:14Stolen Dutch courage, from the look of it.

1:20:16 > 1:20:19He has something he has to tell you.

1:20:22 > 1:20:24(ENGINE REVS)

1:20:30 > 1:20:32He just drove off.

1:20:37 > 1:20:40Can you tell us?

1:20:41 > 1:20:43Jenny, please?

1:20:49 > 1:20:51I wouldn't worry about it too much.

1:20:53 > 1:20:56- When I found out... - Not now, Helen.

1:21:04 > 1:21:07I tried to tell him.

1:21:07 > 1:21:10I'm not speaking to him now.

1:21:10 > 1:21:12If that's any consolation.

1:21:14 > 1:21:17It's a funny world you people live in.

1:21:18 > 1:21:22You both watched me carrying on with a married man and didn't say a thing.

1:21:22 > 1:21:25Yes, well, if you want that conversation,

1:21:25 > 1:21:28you watched David and I help ourselves to a map

1:21:28 > 1:21:30and you didn't say much either.

1:21:56 > 1:22:00Come on, you. Let's go. Good boy.

1:22:05 > 1:22:06Oh.

1:22:06 > 1:22:08Hello.

1:22:09 > 1:22:13Hello. Sorry, I think I've got the wrong number. I was looking for my...

1:22:13 > 1:22:16I wanted a number... For my cello lesson.

1:22:19 > 1:22:21Oh, no. Don't tell me.

1:22:22 > 1:22:25(SIGHS) Good God!

1:22:25 > 1:22:27You're a child.

1:22:30 > 1:22:34You didn't know about any of this, presumably.

1:22:37 > 1:22:39No. They never do.

1:22:43 > 1:22:46You're not in the family way, are you?

1:22:46 > 1:22:48Because that's happened before.

1:22:52 > 1:22:55Thank God for that.

1:22:58 > 1:23:00No. No. You stay here.

1:23:07 > 1:23:09(DOOR OPENS)

1:23:11 > 1:23:13Did you see her?

1:23:13 > 1:23:17Yes, I saw her. I didn't talk to her. There wasn't any need.

1:23:17 > 1:23:19We have to have this out.

1:23:19 > 1:23:23(SIGHS) If you won't do it, I will. I'm still your father.

1:23:23 > 1:23:25You're my father again now?

1:23:25 > 1:23:28What were you when you encouraged me to throw my life away?

1:23:28 > 1:23:31Schoolgirls are always getting seduced by glamorous older men.

1:23:31 > 1:23:34What about you two?

1:23:41 > 1:23:43(SLAMS DOOR)

1:23:46 > 1:23:47(SLAMS DOOR)

1:23:55 > 1:23:57(TAP AT DOOR)

1:24:02 > 1:24:04Jenny?

1:24:10 > 1:24:11Jenny?

1:24:16 > 1:24:18Jenny, I'm sorry.

1:24:25 > 1:24:28I-I know I've made a mess of everything.

1:24:35 > 1:24:38All my life I've been scared.

1:24:39 > 1:24:42I didn't want you to be scared.

1:24:44 > 1:24:47That's why I wanted you to go to Oxford.

1:24:48 > 1:24:51And then along came David, and...

1:24:51 > 1:24:55he knew famous writers, he knew how to get to classical music concerts.

1:25:00 > 1:25:02But he wasn't who he said he was.

1:25:05 > 1:25:07He wasn't who you said he was, either.

1:25:12 > 1:25:15(CHUCKLES)

1:25:15 > 1:25:18The other day, your mother and I were listening to a...

1:25:18 > 1:25:22..a program on the radio about CS Lewis, and they said

1:25:22 > 1:25:26that he moved to Cambridge in 1954... (VOICE FALTERS)

1:25:28 > 1:25:31I-I said, "Well, they've got that wrong."

1:25:34 > 1:25:37Our Jenny wouldn't have his name in her book...

1:25:38 > 1:25:41..if he'd moved to Cambridge.

1:25:50 > 1:25:53There's a cup of tea and some biscuits out here if...

1:26:24 > 1:26:27How do you think we can help?

1:26:29 > 1:26:33I want to repeat my last year at school and take my exams.

1:26:33 > 1:26:36I got the impression last time we spoke

1:26:36 > 1:26:41that you didn't see the point of school. Or of me, or any of us here.

1:26:41 > 1:26:43I know. I was stupid.

1:26:43 > 1:26:47The life I want... there's no shortcut.

1:26:47 > 1:26:51I know now that I need to go to university.

1:26:51 > 1:26:55It gives me absolutely no pleasure whatsoever

1:26:55 > 1:26:59to see our young schoolgirls throwing their lives away.

1:26:59 > 1:27:02Although, of course, you are not one of our schoolgirls.

1:27:02 > 1:27:04Through your own volition.

1:27:04 > 1:27:08- I suppose you think I'm a ruined woman.- (SCOFFS)

1:27:09 > 1:27:12You're not a woman!

1:27:12 > 1:27:17I'm afraid the offer of a place at this school would be wasted on you.

1:27:32 > 1:27:35(BELL RINGS)

1:27:41 > 1:27:43Come in.

1:27:45 > 1:27:47I didn't expect to see you again.

1:27:55 > 1:27:56This is lovely.

1:27:56 > 1:27:59All your books and pictures and...

1:27:59 > 1:28:01(SIGHS WRYLY)

1:28:01 > 1:28:04Paperbacks and postcards, Jenny.

1:28:04 > 1:28:07That's all you need, isn't it?

1:28:09 > 1:28:11Just somewhere to...

1:28:20 > 1:28:22I'm sorry I said those silly things.

1:28:22 > 1:28:25I didn't understand.

1:28:28 > 1:28:30Let's forget about it.

1:28:38 > 1:28:40A Burne-Jones.

1:28:40 > 1:28:43- Do you like him? - I do.

1:28:43 > 1:28:45Still.

1:28:46 > 1:28:48Still?

1:28:48 > 1:28:51You sound very old and wise.

1:28:53 > 1:28:57I feel old. But not very wise.

1:29:02 > 1:29:05Ms Stubbs, I need your help.

1:29:09 > 1:29:12I was so hoping that's what you were gonna say.

1:30:01 > 1:30:02Thank you, Marjorie.

1:30:17 > 1:30:19It's from Oxford.

1:30:52 > 1:30:55"It is my pleasure to inform you

1:30:55 > 1:30:58"that your application to read English at Oxford

1:30:58 > 1:31:00"has been accepted."

1:31:00 > 1:31:05"On behalf of the Faculty of Arts, staff of the University..."

1:31:25 > 1:31:27'So I went to read English books,

1:31:27 > 1:31:32'and did my best to avoid the speccy, spotty fate Helen predicted for me.'

1:31:32 > 1:31:35'I probably looked as wide-eyed, fresh and artless

1:31:35 > 1:31:38'as any other student.

1:31:38 > 1:31:40'But I wasn't.'

1:31:41 > 1:31:44'One of the boys I went out with, and they really were boys,

1:31:44 > 1:31:47'once asked me to go to Paris with him.'

1:31:47 > 1:31:51'And I told him, "I'd love to! I was dying to see Paris!"

1:31:53 > 1:31:55'..as if I'd never been.'
