The phrase "nearest and dearest" often evokes a sense of warmth, family, and close relationships. It's a term that brings to mind the people we hold closest to our hearts—our family, friends, and loved ones. However, in the context of British television, "Nearest and Dearest" takes on a different meaning, referring to a classic sitcom that captured the hearts of many.
"Nearest and Dearest" was a British television sitcom that aired from 1968 to 1973. The show starred Hylda Baker and Jimmy Jewel as Nellie and Eli Pledge, siblings who inherit their father's pickle business in Colne, Lancashire. The series was known for its humor derived from the characters' squabbles, malapropisms, and the unique dynamics of a family-run business.
The premise of the show was simple yet effective: Nellie, a hard-working spinster, and Eli, a womanizing slacker, must run the family business together to inherit their father's fortune. This setup led to comedic situations and memorable catchphrases that are still recognized by fans of classic British comedy.
Despite the on-screen chemistry between Baker and Jewel, it was widely reported that the two did not get along off-screen, adding a layer of intrigue to the show's history. Their tumultuous relationship is often cited as one of the most toxic in British sitcom history.
"Nearest and Dearest" also serves as a cultural touchstone, reflecting the era's social norms and the changing landscape of British comedy. It's a show that, while rooted in the 1960s and 70s, continues to find new audiences who appreciate its wit and charm.
For those who grew up watching "Nearest and Dearest," the show remains a nostalgic reminder of a bygone era of television. And for newcomers, it offers a glimpse into the rich tapestry of British humor and the timeless appeal of family dynamics in storytelling.
Whether you're revisiting the series or discovering it for the first time, "Nearest and Dearest" stands as a testament to the enduring nature of well-crafted comedy and the universal themes of family and ambition. It's a piece of television history that continues to be nearest and dearest to many viewers' hearts.

00:00Come on now. Come on! Or I'll cut your tail off. Come on.
00:28That's it. Ha ha.
00:31Oh, that's not the Queen's head. It's Nobby Stiles.
00:37A World Cup coin.
00:40Morning, Shortass.
00:43What are you doing with that paper?
00:45Haven't I told you time and time again not to go out the back with it before I've read it?
00:50Anyway, it's in one piece, that summer.
00:53Hey, you think I'm a right little tearaway, don't you?
00:56Anyway, what's all the flaming panic?
00:58I'm just seeing about me premium bond, see if it's come up.
01:03You've got more chance of becoming Miss World.
01:08Oh, heck. You know, I'm sure they're not putting my premium bond in that drum.
01:13Oh, shut up, Morning. What's for breakfast?
01:15Er, a couple of spoonfuls and out, with knobs on.
01:20Don't tell me you've done the flaming housekeeping money in already.
01:23My flaming housekeeping, as you call it, wouldn't keep a glow-worm in firelighters.
01:30We've got to have a family conflagration.
01:32Look, our pickle business is going to pot.
01:35It's what they call an economical receptacle.
01:40What's that, a small one under the bed?
01:42Yes, a little pie can. I'm trying to tell you we've got to have some money.
01:45We'll have some money. When I come out in the pools, we'll have a fortune.
01:49Gerard, you come up on the pools. Oh, give it up.
01:52I will, you know.
01:53Oh, yeah. God, you can't pick them. It takes you all your time to pick your teeth.
01:59Hey, I had a win last year, didn't I?
02:02Last year? Yeah, you had a win, all right.
02:04Three and four can shape me.
02:07Everybody won last year. That Saturday, everybody had their drawers up.
02:14Aye, that Saturday night, they all came down.
02:17Look, Nellie, what I'm trying to say is, all we need is one big win.
02:20Look, there's a fella in the paper this week, he's won 150,000 quid.
02:23Comes from round here and all.
02:24Gerard, what's his name?
02:26Don't say. It just says a Mr. X.
02:28Oh, he wants to remain unanimous, does he?
02:33Says he comes from north-west Lancashire. Fancy, Nellie.
02:36Fellow round here, walking around with 150,000 quid lying round his leg and he's not letting on.
02:41Hello, Miss Nellie? Mr. Eli?
02:44Do you mind if I use your telephone?
02:51Depends what you want to use it for.
02:54Well, I want to make a call, see? Very important.
02:58Just a minute. How long have you been smoking cigars?
03:0153 years.
03:03I had my first unanimous this night.
03:06This is my second.
03:08I'd better go and do it now.
03:14It's private.
03:17Very auscious.
03:27Hello? Is that you?
03:32Hello?
03:34Hello?
03:35Is that you?
03:38It is me, Stanley Hardman, Esquire.
03:41Well, do I get it?
03:44You what?
03:46Right, that's a lot of money.
03:49Ah.
03:51I don't know how I'm going to cope with it.
03:54Well, it's a certain entertainment way of life, isn't it?
03:58It seems he's Mr. X.
04:00Well, I have seen him sign his name like that.
04:02Yes, well, I'd rather you keep it quiet.
04:05You know what they are round here.
04:08Yes, I'll be here tomorrow.
04:11Oh, that's fine.
04:13Yeah.
04:15See you tomorrow, then I'll be waiting for you tonight.
04:18Oh, it's lovely to be in front of your eyes.
04:24Thank you very much.
04:27Hey, hang on, hang on.
04:29How about a telephone call?
04:30No.
04:32Take it out of me wages.
04:34I'll blame it to you.
04:36You're sacked.
04:38I'll sack him.
04:40Why not?
04:42He'll have to pay me a full week's wages.
04:44That's the snag.
04:46Yeah. Do you really think he is Mr. X?
04:48Well, you heard him on the telephone, didn't you?
04:50Smoking that big cigar.
04:52It's not fair, you know, Nellie.
04:54I mean, Stan doesn't have to be a big spender.
04:56Hey, you think he might lend us a bit?
04:58No.
05:01Sit down, you don't understand.
05:03Look, we make him a director, see,
05:05and then get him to push some cash in firms.
05:07Eli, you're a little dolt, eh?
05:10Eh?
05:12And what, we don't tell him about the money, then?
05:14Oh, no, we crack on.
05:16We want to use his brains, you see.
05:18Just use his brains.
05:20Oh, that's fine. I think you're wonderful.
05:22Ah, well, I'll go and do it now.
05:24Yes, go and do it now.
05:26Eh, just a minute.
05:28Yes.
05:30Thanks, love.
05:32There you are.
05:34Get that down here.
05:36Now, Stanley, I won't beat about the bush.
05:38How long have you been with Pledger's Pickles?
05:40Let me see.
05:42It's 14 years since I finished my apprenticeship.
05:44Well, how long was that altogether?
05:4663 years at Whitsundar.
05:49Well, that just proves
05:51you're not using the firm
05:53to learn your job and move on.
05:55Stanley, we have to think about your future.
05:57Hey, is it about that vinegar?
05:59What about the vinegar?
06:01That cat got him from Chippy again.
06:03You rotten...
06:05No, not Stanley.
06:07No, no, no, no, no.
06:09You see, we think you're doing a marvellous job
06:11in that pickle shed.
06:13Aren't you going to sack me?
06:15Sack you?
06:17I'm going to promote you.
06:19Ah, Nelly, and I think you deserve it.
06:21Ah, well, I'm already doing my job.
06:23And if I had to do it all over again,
06:25I wouldn't be able to do it.
06:27If I had to do it all over again,
06:29I'd do it all over you.
06:31Oh, you would?
06:33I mean, oh, would you?
06:35I know you would, Stanley, see.
06:37I mean, that's why we want you
06:39to be a director of the firm.
06:41A director?
06:43Yeah.
06:45Hey, will I be able to sack people and all?
06:47Anybody you like,
06:49except me and our Nelly, that is.
06:51Oh.
06:53Never mind, there'll be a few more left.
06:55Hey, I bet being a director,
06:57it's going to be hard to get.
06:59There's only one thing easy to get
07:01in that pickle shed, the vinegar vera.
07:03That's bloody pneumonia.
07:05Oh, me a director?
07:07Oh, I hardly know what to say.
07:09Just say yes, Stanley,
07:11because with your brains
07:13and the money that's going to come to you,
07:15we pledge's pickles will be on its way.
07:17One lump, isn't it, Walter?
07:19I said, you only have one lump.
07:25He thinks you're talking about his swelling.
07:28Oh.
07:30His swelling?
07:32Oh, yeah.
07:34Has it come up again, then?
07:36I'm just saying,
07:38has it come up again?
07:40It happened in the night.
07:42He woke me up to have a look at it.
07:46If you ask me,
07:48you know his blood's too rich.
07:50That's why.
07:52Anyway, Nelly,
07:54talking about our Walter's predicament.
07:56Lily?
07:58No, I mean, how's the pickle business these days?
08:00Well, I must admit,
08:02me stuffed olives have been dropping a bit.
08:04But things'll be looking up all right, you know,
08:07because we're going to have a new executor.
08:11A new man on the board of directors.
08:14Who, fancy? Who is it?
08:16Stan.
08:18You are?
08:20Well, then what works for you?
08:22Well, he's no good.
08:23I want somebody with plenty of drive
08:25and plenty of bright ideas.
08:27Well, I...
08:29You know, like Walter.
08:32Well, I must admit
08:34that Walter knows a lot about pickling,
08:36but does he know about production, you say?
08:41I mean, can he handle it?
08:43I'm just saying, can you handle it?
08:46I mean, Walter may not be very experienced,
08:49but you could have brought him in as a sleeping partner.
08:54Look, Lily.
08:56Look.
08:58You're Walter, eh? A sleeping partner?
09:01You said yourself he wasn't all good in that line.
09:05Well, I'm amazed.
09:07I mean, why pick Stan?
09:09Well, between you and me, Lily, you see,
09:11he's going to put some cash into the firm, you know.
09:14He's had a windfall.
09:16Oh, I see.
09:18Well, it'd be different, you see,
09:20if you and Walter had had a windfall, wouldn't it?
09:21You've not had a windfall, have you?
09:23On the road, where is all this money coming from?
09:26Well, you know, as I said before,
09:28don't say anything,
09:30but he's won it, you see.
09:32It's on the pools.
09:35Walter does the pools, you know.
09:37Yeah, but this is the football pools.
09:44I mean,
09:46Stan doesn't know that we know,
09:48but we know that Stan doesn't know that we know.
09:52Oh, I see.
09:54You see, that's why it's got to be Stan, isn't it, you see?
09:58I mean, I'd have loved to have had you, Walter, you know.
10:01I'm just saying, I'd love to have you.
10:06Some folk have all the luck, don't they?
10:09Well, here he is, the man of the moment.
10:11Bloody hell, it's Fanny Craddock and her addict.
10:13Have you told him the good news?
10:15What? Yes.
10:17Has he told you the news?
10:19I hardly know what to say, Miss Nellie.
10:22Oh, don't call me Miss Nellie.
10:24Now you're a director, you know.
10:26Just call me Nellie.
10:28Oh, right-o, Nellie.
10:30What she's trying to say, Stan,
10:32that now that you're a director, what's yours is mine.
10:34And what's mine is yours.
10:36Get off, you spiky eye.
10:38I mean,
10:40take it easy now, Stan,
10:41take it easy now, Stanley Love.
10:44Hold your horses
10:46until we can get together across the boardroom table.
11:11Oh.
11:13Oh.
11:15Oh, you've got up then, have you?
11:17Yes.
11:18Look at the time, it's quarter past...
11:20Oh, I must get a little hand put on this.
11:23Oh, Nellie, I think I might be dying.
11:25Dying? You'll never die.
11:27You'll just evaporate like a bottle of methylated spirits.
11:30Don't keep picking on me.
11:32Whose fault is it I'm like this anyway?
11:34It's your fault.
11:36It's your fault.
11:38It's your fault.
11:39Don't keep picking on me.
11:41Whose fault is it I'm like this anyway?
11:43You said keep an eye on Stan.
11:45Yes, I said keep an eye on him, stop with him.
11:47Well, did you?
11:49Yes, all the flaming night.
11:51Hey, did he mention anything
11:53about his pool swing?
11:55No, but he said being made a director
11:57was the second bit of lucky dad
11:59and he was expecting a bloke round here today
12:01that got a bit of excitement for him.
12:03Oh, good.
12:05Well, I hope you watched him last night like a kite hawk.
12:07Do you know where he took me last night?
12:09To the Barbie and Joan club.
12:11Oh?
12:13The syrups of figs are go-go.
12:15I've often wondered
12:17what he gets up to down there.
12:19I can't tell you.
12:21I will tell you this, though.
12:23This morning he's got another notch on his walking stick.
12:25Oh, it's disgusting.
12:27I mean, he's lewd, that man.
12:29You know what he did last night
12:31before he went out with you?
12:33No.
12:35Well, he got me down in that kitchen behind the door
12:37close up to the mangle.
12:39Very nasty.
12:41How do you mean?
12:43Well, you know what happened to Aunty Gertie,
12:45you know, that day when she was using the mangle
12:47and she went like...
12:50I get heartburn every time I think about it.
12:53Well, come on, get to the point.
12:55What did Sam do?
12:57I don't like telling you.
12:59Oh, come on.
13:01Kept on nipping me BTM.
13:03Is that all?
13:05Is that all?
13:07Oh, black and blue from top to bottom.
13:09I mean, I repulsed him.
13:11Well, let's face it, Nellie,
13:13you always were repulsive.
13:15Hey, now look,
13:17you want to start to put a bit of money in this firm, right?
13:19Aye.
13:21So we've all got to make sacrifices, right?
13:23Yeah, yeah.
13:25Well, now look, I didn't want to go out with him last night, did I?
13:27Buying all them drinks and chips on my own,
13:29but I went, didn't I?
13:31Yeah, so what?
13:33Well, I mean, I know, you know,
13:35you can go too far like playing hard to get.
13:37I think it was a bit...
13:39Well, I suppose I ought to give him a bit...
13:41Exactly.
13:43...of encouragement!
13:45Big girl's blouse.
13:47Look, if we don't get our hands on that money,
13:49somebody else will.
13:51It's crackers, you know.
13:53Know what he said last night?
13:55No.
13:57Said you were a very handsome woman.
13:59Well, that's very nice, isn't it?
14:01That proves he's round the bloody twist, doesn't it?
14:03Now look, I'm going over to that pickle shed
14:05and bring him back here and we'll have a board meeting.
14:07Yeah.
14:09Yeah.
14:15At 1700, I wish,
14:17I shall be coming round on inspection.
14:20Remember,
14:22keep your beetroot boiling at all times!
14:27Any questions?
14:29Yes, Stanley.
14:31Shut up!
14:33Right, piddlers.
14:35Piddlers!
14:37Wait for it, wait for it!
14:40Dismissed!
14:42Left, right, left, right, left, right, left, right!
14:45Come on, pick them up there!
14:47Left, right, left, right, left, right!
14:49Hang about, hang about.
14:51What the hell are you doing, Stan?
14:53Oh, you're up, Eli.
14:55Aye?
14:57It's now 01100 hours.
15:00You should have been here at 0730 hours.
15:03Oh, pickle off!
15:06I've been meaning to talk to you, Eli.
15:10You should be setting an example to the other ganks.
15:14But you're born idle.
15:17You'll have to shape yourself a bit better.
15:21Oh, who the hell do you think you're...
15:23You're quite right, Stanley, you're quite right.
15:25I mean, Nellie and I wanted to come over to the house.
15:28We were going to have a board meeting.
15:30Oh, I won't be bored.
15:32It'll be exciting, especially if you and Nellie's there.
15:35Oh, she will be.
15:37She fancies you, you know.
15:39She says you're a lovely-natured lad
15:41and she worships the ground that's coming to you.
15:46Oh, these corsets are killing me.
15:50They have a sale on next January.
15:52I think I'll get me another pair.
15:55Oh, I say.
15:57Oh, hell, who got you ready?
15:59I mean...
16:01You're looking very dapper.
16:03Ja.
16:05You look very nice in that frock, Nellie.
16:07Oh, do you like it, Stan?
16:09My dad bought me this, you know.
16:11He was going to have a coming-out ball for me, you know.
16:14But then the war broke out.
16:17And then when the war was over, he said,
16:20what's the use of coming out now? You might as well stop in.
16:23Well, come on.
16:25Let's get down to it.
16:27Stanley!
16:29Get down to business.
16:31Business before pleasure, Stanley.
16:33Go on.
16:35I've never been at a board meeting before.
16:37Oh, neither have we.
16:39Shut up, you.
16:41That is not before lunch, then.
16:43Now, I think we should all adjourn across the road and have a pint.
16:45Now, sit down, you big girl's blouse.
16:47Now, we've got to do this proper.
16:49Somebody's got to be in charge, and that's me.
16:51I'll be the charwoman.
16:53Right, right.
16:55Now, what we need is an agenda.
16:57You what?
16:59An agenda.
17:01Oh, yes, I meant to get one.
17:03I saw one in the court window,
17:05but it didn't seem to be the right colour, you know.
17:07An agenda is something for putting your items down on.
17:12If I have any more of that dirty talk, you know,
17:14we'll have this meeting on our own.
17:17Let's get on with it.
17:19Yeah, yeah, yeah.
17:21I can say without fear of contraception
17:23that where all the world picklers get together,
17:30Stan here is spoken of as the cucumber kid.
17:35A man whose walnuts have got to be seen to be good.
17:40Here he is.
17:43So, I thank you, Stan, from the bottom of my heart
17:49and from our realised bottom, too.
17:52We shall all now rise and sing onward, Christian soldiers.
17:56Now, I will ask our joint managing director
18:01to give us a word about the state of trade.
18:06That's you, you doltic face.
18:09Oh, I dropped off.
18:11Well, there's been a slump in the gherkin stuffing
18:13owing to a bottleneck on the shop floor.
18:16What bottleneck?
18:18A beer bottleneck.
18:20Vinegar there got a finger stuck in it.
18:22And in conclusion, I'd just like to say to Stan,
18:25get your bloody hand off my knee.
18:31I'm sorry, Eli.
18:33I don't eat with Miss Nelly.
18:36You were about to find out your mistake, weren't you?
18:41Ask him about the money.
18:43Yeah, well, now, Stan.
18:45We're just pickles on a great expansion programme, you see,
18:48and to show your appreciation,
18:50we'd like you to show your appreciation in the usual manner.
18:52All right.
18:54No, no.
18:56You don't quite understand, you see.
18:58The thing is, well, what I mean to say is
18:59you can't take out more than what you put in.
19:04So we'd like you to put a bit of cash in the firm, like.
19:07Me?
19:08Yes.
19:09Put money in the business?
19:11Oh, I don't think I can do that.
19:13It's a big gamble.
19:15Oh, no, it isn't.
19:17I mean, with a gamble, you get a chance of getting your money back.
19:19I mean, it's a matter of luck, you know.
19:23Well, I mean, you don't need luck with this.
19:26You need a bloody miracle.
19:27Shut up, you.
19:29Now, then, Stan.
19:31What about it, then?
19:33Well, I'll need a lot of persuading.
19:36Oh, now, Nellie's just the girl to do it.
19:38Is she?
19:39Am I?
19:40Yes, now, Nellie.
19:42I know Stan has got something he wants to put to you.
19:45So I'll leave you to it.
19:48And don't forget,
19:50try and get your hands on it.
19:51Eh?
19:53Come back!
19:55Alone at last!
20:00Alone at last?
20:02How can we be alone?
20:03There's two of us.
20:04You've only got to be one to be alone.
20:06Hey, what would you say to a little kiss?
20:10Just depends on what the little kiss said to me.
20:16Oh, Miss Nellie,
20:18for one kind word from you,
20:20I'd crawl hundreds of miles
20:21on my hands and knees over broken glass.
20:24Well, set off crawling.
20:26It'll give me time to think.
20:29Oh, hey, hey.
20:31You know what I want, don't you?
20:35Are you trying to deduce me?
20:39Nellie, I'm burning with passion.
20:44Get her off.
20:45You're not burning at all.
20:47It's your put-too-much-coal-on-the-fire.
20:49Hey, I'm hungry for you, Nellie.
20:52All right, I'll make you chip butty.
20:55You are my only, only good client.
21:00You will be.
21:02Yeah, well, be off.
21:04Be off!
21:08End of round one.
21:10Get this spiky-eyed maniac away from here.
21:13You shouldn't talk to someone like that.
21:15He's very sensitive.
21:16He feels things.
21:17Yeah, I just found that out.
21:20I was just getting warmed up.
21:22Well, put yourself on a low gas and simmer down.
21:25There's a fella outside to see.
21:26He's got a little black bag.
21:28I asked him to come here.
21:30Don't just stand there. Fetch him in.
21:31Right.
21:33Nellie.
21:34Yeah?
21:35He's bringing something for me
21:37and I'd like you to share it with me.
21:40Oh, thank you very glad.
21:42Well, here he is.
21:44Oh, how do you do, Mr...?
21:45The name is Littlewood.
21:47Bloody hell, they've sent Gaffer himself.
21:50Must be half a million.
21:53Charmed, I'm sure.
21:55You haven't had the pleasure of me, have you?
21:58I'm Miss Nellie Pledge
22:01and this here is my brother Eli.
22:04Shall I look after the bag?
22:06No, she doesn't bother me.
22:09Actually, it's Mr Stanley Hartman I'm looking for.
22:13Oh, that himself. There he is.
22:14Yeah, a very good friend of ours
22:16and also a director on our board.
22:19Have you brought it, Mr Littlewood?
22:21Well, I've brought the forms for you to sign
22:23but as a director of a company
22:25I'm not at all sure we can let you have it.
22:27Oh, well, if he'd have come a minute or two earlier
22:29he would have had it.
22:31Look, give him the money and let's help him count it.
22:33Money? What money?
22:35What money?
22:37Have you not brought something for him?
22:39Well, he wants to share it with me.
22:41Well, I've brought the lease
22:42for Mr Hartman
22:44of a corporation old folks bungalow.
22:46Oh, we'll be happy.
22:49We'll be happy as your pigs in mud.
22:52Come here, you old buzzard.
22:54Hey, you say you've got football pools on that phone
22:56and you say you've got a lot of money.
22:58We is a lot of money.
23:00Do you know what I'll be paying in rent?
23:02Nineteen and six a week.
23:04One moment, Mr Hartman.
23:06You see, if he is a director of your company
23:09I don't believe he's eligible any longer.
23:12Well, that's no problem.
23:14As of now, you have resigned from the board.
23:17So get down into the pickle shed and get pickling.
23:20And you can take those papers down there
23:23and sign them with him, so get going.
23:25And if that cat gets him vinegar again
23:27you go in with it.
23:29Marvellous, isn't it, Nelly?
23:31I'm not kidding you, the rotten old thing.
23:33Hey, all that money I spent on him.
23:36Yeah.
23:38Last night it must have cost me half a knicker.
23:40Half a knicker?
23:42Yeah.
23:44Well, Nelly, I mean, money, who needs it?
23:49I mean, well, you know, it's not everything, is it?
23:53No.
23:55Those people who win a lot of money, I mean
23:57what good is it to them?
23:59No, I mean, are they really happy, Nelly?
24:05Yes.
24:08No way!
24:12No way!
25:13Come on, Nelly.
25:15Come on!
25:17Or I'll cut your tail off.
25:19Come on.
25:21That's it.
25:24Oh, that's not the queasy way.
25:26Come on, Nelly.
25:28Come on.
25:30Come on, Nelly.
25:32Come on, Nelly.
25:34Come on, Nelly.
25:36Come on, Nelly.
25:38Come on, Nelly.
25:40Come on, Nelly.
25:42Well, with a head.
25:44Nobby Stiles.
25:47A World Cup coin.
25:49Oh!
25:51Morning, short ass!
25:53What you doing with that paper?
25:55Haven't I told you time and time again not to go out the back with it before I've read it?
26:00Anyways, in one piece that summer.
26:03Hey, you think I'm a right little tearaway, don't you?
26:06Anyway, what's all the flaming panic?
26:07I'm just seeing about my premium bond, see if it's come up.
26:12You've got more chance of becoming Miss World.
26:17Oh, heck. I'm sure they're not putting my premium bond in that drum.
26:22Oh, shut up, Morning. What's for breakfast?
26:24Er, a couple of spoonfuls and out, with knobs on.
26:29Don't tell me you've done the flaming housekeeping money in already.
26:32My flaming housekeeping, as you call it, wouldn't keep a glow-worm in firelighters.
26:39We've got to have a family conflagration.
26:41Look, our pickle business is going to pot.
26:45It's what they call an economical receptacle.
26:49What's that, a small one under the bed?
26:51I see you pie-canning. I'm trying to tell you we've got to have some money.
26:55We'll have some money. When I come out in the pools, we'll have a fortune.
26:58Gerard, you come up on the pools, I'll give over.
27:01I will, you know.
27:02Oh, yeah. God, you can't pick them. It takes you all your time to pick your teeth.
27:09Hey, I had a win last year, didn't I?
27:11Last year? Yeah, you had a win, all right.
27:14Three and four and seventy.
27:16Everybody won last year. That Saturday, everybody had their drawers up.
27:23Aye, that Saturday night, they all came down.
27:27Look, Nellie, what I'm trying to say is, all we need is one big win.
27:31Look, there's a fella in paper this week, he's 150,000 quid.
27:34Comes from round here and all.
27:36Gerard, what's his name?
27:37Don't say, it just says a Mr. X.
