00:00:00The End
00:01:00Look, that's ours.
00:01:17The tasteful three-piece bedroom suite.
00:01:19Figured walnut.
00:01:21That's right.
00:01:22Just think, the day after tomorrow we'll be waking up in that.
00:01:27Perfect.
00:01:28Well, we're getting married, aren't we?
00:01:31I can't get over that man in the shop. Wasn't he nice?
00:01:34That's he giving us that lovely fender, fire irons and coal scuttle.
00:01:37I hope he doesn't get into trouble.
00:01:39What's the good of him? We've got gas fire.
00:01:42Pickets, please.
00:01:44What time do we get into Truro?
00:01:46You're due at half past ten.
00:01:48Change at Foul Vale Junction.
00:01:50Here, there. Half past ten.
00:01:56I said we should have caught that earlier train.
00:01:59That furniture chap would keep on talking.
00:02:02We shall cop it from there.
00:02:07Now then, my lad.
00:02:08This is a railway carriage, not a playground.
00:02:11Go on, off with you.
00:02:11This is a non-smoker.
00:02:17Tickets, please.
00:02:18Oh, tickets.
00:02:19What a game.
00:02:20I haven't seen your ticket yet, madam.
00:02:22Well, if you haven't, everyone else on your railway has.
00:02:26Hush, Polly.
00:02:27I'd like to show it at every station we've stopped at, all the way from London.
00:02:31I'm sorry, madam, if we have to keep a check on travellers nowadays.
00:02:34Oh, perhaps you think I'm a parachutist.
00:02:36Perhaps you'd like to look at those paths or see if I've got a bicycle or machine gun.
00:02:40I only want to see your ticket, madam.
00:02:43Here's my ticket.
00:02:45And here's my identification card, and here's my ration book.
00:02:48And if you want my birth certificate, you'll have to ask Somerset House for it.
00:02:51Truro. Thank you, madam.
00:02:52Change at Foul Vale Junction. It's the next stop. You won't see the name on the station.
00:02:57Took a bit of a chance putting it on the ticket, didn't they?
00:03:22Hey, you!
00:03:37Here, you.
00:03:37All right, you can go now. I've got it.
00:03:38What do you think you're up to?
00:03:39Well, I lost my tipper.
00:03:41You can't do that.
00:03:42Can't do what?
00:03:42Stop a train just to pick up your head.
00:03:44Well, stop it. Don't be silly.
00:03:45Here, tell you what I'll do.
00:03:48There you are. I've started it again.
00:03:50Hey, Millie, that's all right. Give me a bunk up.
00:03:58I wish you'd cut your nails.
00:04:04Oh, hello.
00:04:07That chap's got a nerve dropping his hat out.
00:04:13I say, what happened?
00:04:15She's smiling.
00:04:16What? Eh?
00:04:17Eh, I mean the train. Why did it stop?
00:04:20The old some fool's hat fell off. He pulled the cord.
00:04:22Oh, bless my soul.
00:04:24Good gracious.
00:04:35Come back here.
00:04:37I want your name and address.
00:04:38Here, now. What's all the trouble?
00:04:40No trouble at all. I've got it now, thank you.
00:04:42Pull the communication cord and stop the train to get his hat.
00:04:45Do you get his name and address?
00:04:46That's what I'm trying to get.
00:04:47Now, sir...
00:04:47Oh, where the...
00:04:49Come on out of that.
00:04:56Come on. Come!
00:04:58Hello. He's still here.
00:04:59I was having a wife.
00:05:01This puff puff's filthy.
00:05:02No, sir.
00:05:03All right, I'll handle this.
00:05:05I don't.
00:05:06Are you going to give me your name and address, or are you not?
00:05:08My name and address?
00:05:09Well, er...
00:05:10Actually, I'm travelling in Cobb.
00:05:13But that's me.
00:05:14Tommy Gambler.
00:05:15Comedian and entertainer.
00:05:16Now, what's the address?
00:05:18For the next 16 weeks, I'll be at the Pier Pavilion, New Quay.
00:05:2116 weeks?
00:05:22Yes.
00:05:22Well, we'll see how I go on Monday night.
00:05:24You know, this'll mean a prosecution, a five-pound fight, sir.
00:05:27What for?
00:05:28I can't understand what all this fuss is about.
00:05:31You stopped the train.
00:05:32Well, it was only a little stop.
00:05:34Besides, nobody minded.
00:05:36Did anyone here mind me stopping the train for a few minutes?
00:05:39No.
00:05:41We'll try another one.
00:05:42Did anybody here...
00:05:43Now, look here.
00:05:44You better get back to your compartment.
00:05:46This is my compartment.
00:05:47Thanks ever so for seeing me home.
00:05:48No, sir.
00:05:49If you wouldn't behave like this, I...
00:05:53Whoo!
00:05:53You know, I don't think this was your carriage.
00:05:57Wasn't it?
00:05:59The trouble is, they all look so much alike.
00:06:01If one only had a different colour scheme in each compartment,
00:06:04one could tell which was one's own compartment.
00:06:07Excuse me, is this gentleman annoying you?
00:06:09Who, me?
00:06:10I wasn't talking to you, little man.
00:06:11Anyway, this is a first-class carriage.
00:06:13Well, what about it?
00:06:13Well, I bet you've got a third-class ticket.
00:06:15I have not.
00:06:16I've got a platform ticket.
00:06:18Is he a friend of yours?
00:06:20I never saw either of you before in my life.
00:06:22As I thought.
00:06:23But you don't even know the lady.
00:06:24You force your way into her compartment
00:06:25and cause everyone a lot of annoyance.
00:06:27Now, run along to your old carriage before I call the guard.
00:06:30Here, let's be fair.
00:06:31After all, this isn't your carriage either.
00:06:33Either.
00:06:34Either.
00:06:34Either.
00:06:35Let's ask the lady.
00:06:37It's a good idea.
00:06:37Is it either or either?
00:06:39Neither.
00:06:40Neither.
00:06:42What's this?
00:06:43Good afternoon.
00:06:44Who are these people?
00:06:45I have the slightest idea.
00:06:49Is your name Winthrop?
00:06:50Yes.
00:06:50R.G.
00:06:51Winthrop?
00:06:52Yes.
00:06:53In that case, this is your bag.
00:06:56Oh, and here's your coat.
00:06:57And here's your skull.
00:06:59And here's your book.
00:07:00Oh, we mustn't lose the place.
00:07:02There you are.
00:07:03What are you two playing at?
00:07:04One moment.
00:07:08Winthrop, R.G.
00:07:10Aren't you the all-rounder that played for the MCC?
00:07:13Yes.
00:07:14As a matter of fact, I am.
00:07:15Oh, isn't that wonderful?
00:07:16I only need you to complete my set.
00:07:18Set?
00:07:19Yes.
00:07:19Cigarette cards.
00:07:2050 famous cricketers.
00:07:21What are you two doing in here?
00:07:23Well, he lost his hat.
00:07:24Oh, so you're the idiot who stopped the train.
00:07:26Yes.
00:07:27I don't know my own strength.
00:07:29My time happens to be valuable, even if yours isn't.
00:07:31Now, perhaps you'll be good enough to move out of here before I lose my temper.
00:07:34Oh, yes?
00:07:36One minute.
00:07:36If I remember rightly, you were a boxing glue as well.
00:07:40Yes.
00:07:40I was.
00:07:42You mean you used to knock them on the...
00:07:46Oh, well, circumstances alter cases.
00:07:49Goodbye, all.
00:07:50Goodbye.
00:07:51Goodbye.
00:07:53We'd better be getting our things together.
00:07:54We'll soon be at Falvale.
00:07:55Are you changing at Falvale?
00:07:56So am I.
00:07:57Isn't that a coincidence?
00:07:58He was a new key.
00:07:59No, we are not.
00:08:00Oh.
00:08:01Well, if you do, you must come and see me.
00:08:02I'm in the concert party there.
00:08:04My name's Tommy Gander.
00:08:05And if you give that to the manager, he'll give you a row of seats to yourself.
00:08:08Are you going to get out, or do I have to throw you out?
00:08:10Oh, Richard, there's no...
00:08:11Leave this to me.
00:08:12Get out and stay out.
00:08:14Yes, sir.
00:08:17I don't like strange men trying to scrape up an acquaintance with you.
00:08:20Oh, don't be silly, Richard.
00:08:22You sound like something out of East Lynn.
00:08:33Look out my hat.
00:08:34Because of all the trouble, see you at Falvale.
00:08:42I can't.
00:08:43I don't like it.
00:08:56I can't.
00:09:01I don't like it.
00:09:33Oh, go away.
00:10:03Oh, go away.
00:10:33Yes, I know, but I'll pass ten.
00:10:48What's she going to say to that?
00:10:49I'd like to know.
00:10:50I'll take the lady's back.
00:10:56Can I take that one?
00:10:59I'll take it.
00:10:59Can I help you show your connection?
00:11:01I'll show the lady.
00:11:03Yeah, what do you think we're doing?
00:11:05Excuse me.
00:11:06When the connection arrives, it's sure to be crowded.
00:11:09Wouldn't it be a good idea if you were to come in my compartment, you and your brother?
00:11:12The lady and her brother are travelling first class.
00:11:14Besides, he doesn't like you.
00:11:16Oh, a lot of people don't like me at first, but you'd be surprised how I grow on one.
00:11:19Even your brother might learn to care.
00:11:21Yes, I'm sure he would.
00:11:22But he's not my brother.
00:11:24Oh, I know.
00:11:25He's your father.
00:11:26I say, are these fellas annoying you again?
00:11:28Good afternoon.
00:11:29Sorry, Dad.
00:11:31Cheek.
00:11:32Guard!
00:11:38Guard!
00:11:39Open this door at once!
00:11:41Oh, I'm locked in.
00:11:43The door's further along, madam.
00:11:46That's just a window.
00:11:47Oh, thank you.
00:11:49Silly idea.
00:11:57Allow me, madam.
00:11:58Can I take your parcel?
00:12:00I'll take the Avery.
00:12:04One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
00:12:09My guest mask.
00:12:11I'm going to see my evacuated nieces, you know.
00:12:14Oh, nice.
00:12:15They're staying on one of those farms.
00:12:17I'm taking them butter and eggs from London in case they can't get them down there.
00:12:21That one is very nice.
00:12:23How on?
00:12:23Well, that's Polly's.
00:12:26Sauce.
00:12:26He won't mind, will she?
00:12:29Oh, hey, wait a minute.
00:12:31I've left my basket in the guard van.
00:12:35Hey, my basket's in the van.
00:12:37No, it isn't.
00:12:38I threw it out on the platform.
00:12:40Threw it out?
00:12:41You'll be hearing from my solicitor.
00:12:42You'll be hearing from the company.
00:12:44I'll tell my mum of you.
00:12:45Good-cha.
00:12:46And good-cha.
00:12:56Dead and alive sort of homeless?
00:12:58Where is everybody?
00:13:00Hello?
00:13:04Hello?
00:13:07Hello?
00:13:07Shut up.
00:13:09Shut it.
00:13:14Order.
00:13:21Anyone at home?
00:13:24There's no one around there?
00:13:25Ah, about time, too.
00:13:26When does our connection for Truro come in?
00:13:27Come in?
00:13:28It'd be gone.
00:13:29Quarter of an hour ago.
00:13:30Oh, last.
00:13:31When's the next?
00:13:32There's no next.
00:13:33There's no more trains through here tonight.
00:13:34I'll be just going to lock off.
00:13:35Oh, Herbert.
00:13:36Oh, but...
00:13:37Now, Potter!
00:13:38When did the Truro train come in?
00:13:39In about nine hours, mum.
00:13:40What?
00:13:41I'm afraid our train was so late
00:13:42that the connection went without us.
00:13:43And do you know why it was so late?
00:13:44Our comic friend with his comic hat.
00:13:45Oh!
00:13:46Hey, you!
00:13:47What's his confounded name?
00:13:48Oh, my God.
00:13:49Oh, my God.
00:13:50Oh, my God.
00:13:51Oh, my God.
00:13:52Oh, my God.
00:13:53Oh, my God.
00:13:54Oh, my God.
00:13:55Oh, my God.
00:13:56Oh, my God.
00:13:57Oh, my God.
00:13:58Oh, my God.
00:13:59Oh, my God.
00:14:00Oh, my God.
00:14:01Oh, my God.
00:14:02Oh, my God.
00:14:03Oh, my God.
00:14:04Oh, my God.
00:14:05Mr. Gander.
00:14:06Gander, come here.
00:14:10Most intelligent basket.
00:14:11That, you know, it seems to know me.
00:14:13Whenever I go near it, it quinks.
00:14:14As you got us into this mess,
00:14:16perhaps you can think of some way
00:14:17of getting us out of it.
00:14:18Out of what?
00:14:19Going to your idiocy with Mr. Connection.
00:14:21Yes, and what's more,
00:14:22there's no train for nine hours.
00:14:24Nine hours?
00:14:25That'll be tomorrow, won't it?
00:14:27I've got to rehearse at Newquay at half past ten.
00:14:29You should have thought of that
00:14:30before you stopped the train.
00:14:31Oh, I know.
00:14:33We'll charter a special.
00:14:35Special, indeed.
00:14:36And who's going to pay for that?
00:14:37Well, they can take it out of the money I owe them.
00:14:39In for a fiver, in for a special.
00:14:40That's me.
00:14:41Excuse me, old man.
00:14:42You're getting those specials here.
00:14:44Well, I could go up to four and six for a big one.
00:14:46Do you mean to tell me we can't get to Truro tonight?
00:14:48Aye.
00:14:49Leastways not to my train.
00:14:51Doesn't bear thinking about, does it, Oven?
00:14:53That's right.
00:14:54I suppose that applies to Redruth too, eh?
00:14:57No more trains tonight.
00:14:59Nowhere.
00:15:00But I'm expected at Redruth.
00:15:01I promised Dr. Harrowby a...
00:15:03Well, of all the quaint places.
00:15:07Oh, hello.
00:15:08Where does that line the other side go to?
00:15:10It don't go nowhere.
00:15:13Oh, don't go nowhere.
00:15:15He means it stays where it is.
00:15:17Ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:15:18I haven't said anything wrong.
00:15:22Hello.
00:15:24Oh, lovely.
00:15:25This is real concert party weather.
00:15:27This'll send them in.
00:15:28Good gracious.
00:15:29He can't stand here and get soaked, eh?
00:15:33He could stand anywhere and get soaked.
00:15:39Pardon me.
00:15:54Cozy little place, isn't it?
00:15:56Well, if this is the Cornish Riviera, give me Camberwell.
00:15:59This is gloomy, isn't it?
00:16:01Well, if this is the Cornish Riviera, give me Camberwell.
00:16:02This is gloomy, isn't it?
00:16:14So this is the Redruth, Carlton.
00:16:15Oh, allow me.
00:16:17There you are.
00:16:18What the devil are you doing?
00:16:20I was putting it on.
00:16:21Oh.
00:16:22Young man, you ought to be ashamed of yourself.
00:16:24Am I popular.
00:16:27Hello, Polly.
00:16:28Polly.
00:16:29Polly.
00:16:30Will you talk to me?
00:16:31Polly.
00:16:32Polly, moi d'amour.
00:16:34No.
00:16:35Scratch a poll.
00:16:36Lady Polly.
00:16:37There's a polly.
00:16:38There's a lovely girl.
00:16:39Are you one of the parents of Wimpole Street?
00:16:42Oh, don't do that.
00:16:43Not with company about.
00:16:44There she is.
00:16:45There's a girl.
00:16:46I say, I wonder if I could teach you to talk.
00:16:49I wonder if you could say Heil Hitler.
00:16:51Eh?
00:16:52No.
00:16:53Not with a beak like that.
00:16:54Don't listen to him, Polly.
00:16:58If you ladies and gentlemen be ready, I'd like to lock up now.
00:17:00Lock up?
00:17:01You're not going to turn us out in this.
00:17:03No.
00:17:04Why shall I catch old Monier?
00:17:05I've had new Monier, you know.
00:17:06That was witty.
00:17:08You can't stay here.
00:17:09No?
00:17:10Well, I'm going to surprise you for a start.
00:17:17We're all staying.
00:17:18The railway company's taken our money and he's got to play the game.
00:17:20Yes.
00:17:21He's not a sticky wicket.
00:17:22But Richard, if there aren't any more trains.
00:17:24Then he'll have to get us a bus or something.
00:17:25That's right.
00:17:26Give me a number six.
00:17:27I've got some friends who live in Hackney.
00:17:28All fares ready, no standing on top.
00:17:29Oh, shut up.
00:17:30I'm not travelling in any bus.
00:17:32I paid to go all the way by train.
00:17:34Besides, Polly hates the smell of petrol.
00:17:36Polly Polly, don't you?
00:17:37There must be some way.
00:17:39Hmm?
00:17:40Dr. Harrowby of Redrose expecting me.
00:17:43I'm going there as his locum and he's leaving on holiday tonight.
00:17:46Yes, please.
00:17:47We must do something.
00:17:48We've got to get back tonight, haven't we, Herbert?
00:17:50That's right.
00:17:51For one thing, the ceremony's in the morning.
00:17:54Ceremony?
00:17:55Oh, you mean a family bereavement?
00:17:57Oh, no.
00:17:58Herbert means we're getting married.
00:18:00That's right.
00:18:02Oh, don't cut myself a piece of wedding cake.
00:18:04Isn't that marvellous?
00:18:05I must kiss the bride.
00:18:06Oh, wrong lady.
00:18:07Excuse me.
00:18:08Speech, speech.
00:18:09Must have a speech.
00:18:10I hope you'll be very happy.
00:18:11So do I.
00:18:12Same here.
00:18:13First a girl and then a boy.
00:18:15Oh, be quiet.
00:18:16But this isn't much of a place to spend your last bachelor hours.
00:18:19Oh, I don't know.
00:18:20I've slept in worse.
00:18:21You want to see my Anderson shelter?
00:18:22I think I'd better get down.
00:18:24Call me at eight o'clock with a nice cup of tea.
00:18:27Shove up there, auntie.
00:18:28Goodnight all.
00:18:29There'll be no sleep in here.
00:18:32The last strain's gone and I've got to lock up.
00:18:35You can't stay here.
00:18:36I've had enough of this nonsense.
00:18:37The least you can do is to ring up a garage
00:18:39and get us some sort of a conveyance to the nearest village.
00:18:41And we are staying here until you do.
00:18:43Yes.
00:18:44Surely there must be a hostelry somewhere.
00:18:46He means a boozer.
00:18:48All right.
00:18:49I'll try.
00:18:50Won't be no good, I tell you.
00:18:51I'll come with you.
00:18:52Passengers must cross by the footbridge.
00:18:53You stay where you are.
00:18:54You're a menace.
00:18:55And the next time you drop your hat out of the window,
00:18:56I hope you forget to take it off.
00:18:57You'll rue every word you've said.
00:18:58On front.
00:18:59La, da, dee, dee, dee, dee, dee, dee, dee, dee, dee, dee, dee, dee, dee, dee, dee, dee, dee.
00:19:04Hmmm.
00:19:05I wonder if it stops raining.
00:19:06I'll have a look.
00:19:07Oh!
00:19:08What is it?
00:19:13My basket.
00:19:17I wonder if it stopped raining.
00:19:21I'll have a look.
00:19:26Who?
00:19:27What is it?
00:19:30My basket.
00:19:35Halfway.
00:19:38Edna, you know what this means, don't you?
00:19:43We'll have to be together all night.
00:19:47Yes, Herbert.
00:19:48Before we're married, like.
00:19:52There is six other people with us, Herbert.
00:19:56She wouldn't believe it.
00:19:58Not if we said there were six to...
00:20:00Would she?
00:20:02No, Herbert.
00:20:04Edna, who's going to face her in the morning?
00:20:07You, Herbert.
00:20:09Why should I?
00:20:10After all, she's your mother.
00:20:13She'll be your mother too tomorrow night, Herbert.
00:20:16That's right.
00:20:19Hello.
00:20:20This be Saul Ardskin up at station.
00:20:22I've got eight passengers here.
00:20:25Yes, they missed the Truro connection.
00:20:27I know, but what am I going to do with them?
00:20:30They want you to send a bus for them.
00:20:31Yes, but...
00:20:32Yes, but...
00:20:33Hello.
00:20:38Well, what's the verdict?
00:20:40Did we get a bus?
00:20:41I said it wouldn't be no good.
00:20:43But I'll tell you what.
00:20:45If you would all walk across the Fowl Village,
00:20:47maybe they'd put you up at the pub.
00:20:49Splendid, eh?
00:20:49I always say there are worse places than pubs, eh?
00:20:52Why didn't you tell us that before?
00:20:55It's all right, people.
00:20:56I fixed everything.
00:20:56There's no bus,
00:20:57but if we walk down to Fowl Village,
00:20:58they'll wine us and dine us and put us to bed.
00:21:00Oh, good.
00:21:01Oh, lovely.
00:21:03It's worth a dash through the rain for a night's rest.
00:21:05Just a minute.
00:21:06How far is this village?
00:21:08Oh, it's about, um...
00:21:10I don't know.
00:21:10How far is it?
00:21:12Oh, if you walk across the fields,
00:21:15it's only four short miles.
00:21:17Four short what?
00:21:18Four miles in this.
00:21:20I wouldn't dream of it.
00:21:22Are you in the middle of a moat?
00:21:24Surely there's someplace nearer than Fowl Village.
00:21:26That'd be the only place within ten miles of here.
00:21:30What do you think you're doing?
00:21:31Come on, give me a hand with this.
00:21:36I've forgotten all of that, my tisketter-tasket.
00:21:39I do hope my truso's not ruined.
00:21:41Now, don't do that.
00:21:42You have puddles all over the floor.
00:21:43Well, I'm soaking wet.
00:21:44I've got to change.
00:21:45It's another thing you can't do.
00:21:46You can't change your...
00:21:47Well, that's a funny thing.
00:21:48The guard said we must all change your...
00:21:49Oh, go and change the ticket office.
00:21:52All right.
00:21:52Come on, you basket.
00:21:57Don't leave me alone.
00:21:59No peeping.
00:22:03Well, we've got to stay here all night,
00:22:04so we might as well make ourselves comfortable.
00:22:06Thank you all.
00:22:09Don't you light that fire?
00:22:10Now, listen, my good man,
00:22:11you've said your piece,
00:22:12so jump on your bicycle and pedal off.
00:22:14I've got my orders,
00:22:16and I've got to obey them.
00:22:17You can't stay here.
00:22:21And who's going to stop us?
00:22:23Ivy.
00:22:23What are you going to do?
00:22:24Throw us out?
00:22:26Well, I suppose I'll have to.
00:22:27In that case, you can start on me.
00:22:29And me.
00:22:30Now, don't you lay your hands on me.
00:22:32Gentlemen, gentlemen.
00:22:33I do wish you'd ash.
00:22:35Polly wants to go to bed.
00:22:36We are staying here whether you like it or not.
00:22:38Understand?
00:22:40I can't leave the station with you people here.
00:22:43Then you'll have to stay here with us.
00:22:44No, that I won't.
00:22:45Why, what's the matter with it?
00:22:47Apart from everything.
00:22:48Anyone would think from the way you're going on,
00:22:49the place was haunted.
00:22:53It is haunted.
00:22:56Oh, my God.
00:22:57Oh.
00:22:59Herbert.
00:23:00Oh.
00:23:00My next, Napoleon.
00:23:20Haunted?
00:23:21What are you trying to do?
00:23:24Scare us out of here?
00:23:25It's beyond it, all right.
00:23:27You won't find any in these parts that would stay here.
00:23:31Especially tonight.
00:23:33Well, as we've decided to stay the night,
00:23:35you'd better let us know what to expect.
00:23:38We have no story for ladies, yes?
00:23:41Well, after that, we've got to hear it.
00:23:42Yeah, come on, spirit.
00:23:44We want something to entertain us.
00:23:46Entertain?
00:23:47Powers above.
00:23:48Oh, come on.
00:23:49Do tell us.
00:23:50Very well.
00:23:59I warned you,
00:24:00there ain't no pretty story.
00:24:02Maybe when you've heard it,
00:24:03you'll change your mind about staying.
00:24:06Will you keep that confounded bird quiet?
00:24:10It was the time of the diamond jubilee.
00:24:12Forty-three years ago this very night.
00:24:15In them days,
00:24:15the station master here
00:24:16was a man by the name of Ted Holmes.
00:24:18You was asking about the old line
00:24:21that runs on the other side.
00:24:22You mean the one that don't go nowhere?
00:24:24Aye, but in them days,
00:24:25the trains used to run on it.
00:24:27Through the undershore tunnel
00:24:28down to the old port.
00:24:30The other side of the tunnel,
00:24:31the line bridges the river.
00:24:33It's your swing bridge,
00:24:34worked by a lever wheel
00:24:36out there on the platform.
00:24:38This was the bridge.
00:24:40In 97,
00:24:41it was always left open
00:24:42for the clay boats
00:24:43to go out on the tide.
00:24:45And they closed it
00:24:45when the trains went across.
00:24:47But no train ever runs
00:24:49off of that bridge now.
00:24:50And it hadn't been closed
00:24:52for 43 years.
00:24:54And the day I be telling you about,
00:24:56a party of St. Blant's folk
00:24:57went to a bean feast
00:24:58up at Truro.
00:24:59And they chartered a special
00:25:00to take them home late that night.
00:25:02Ben Isaacs
00:25:03was the driver of that special.
00:25:05Ted Holmes was kept on late duty
00:25:06here to close the bridge.
00:25:08He was a sick man,
00:25:09but no one knew it at the time.
00:25:11When they phoned through here
00:25:12from Truro,
00:25:13warning Ted to close it
00:25:15just as the special
00:25:15were starting off,
00:25:17Ted answers
00:25:17as he'll go and shut
00:25:19the bridge that moment.
00:25:21But none were the last words
00:25:23he was ever heard to speak.
00:25:25Well,
00:25:26what happened?
00:25:28It was striking 11 o'clock
00:25:30when he lit his lamp
00:25:31and went out on the platform.
00:25:34He reached the bridge wheel
00:25:35and as he tried to turn it,
00:25:38it was then an illness come on him.
00:25:43The poor chap something
00:25:47must have told him
00:25:47it was all up with him.
00:25:49But he gathered up his strength
00:25:50and struggled back
00:25:51towards the waiting room.
00:25:53His one thought
00:25:53was to get to that phone
00:25:55and stop the train
00:25:55from coming.
00:25:57But he never reached it.
00:25:59He falls down there
00:26:01dead,
00:26:03with his lamp
00:26:03still burning in his hand.
00:26:06The special was dead on time.
00:26:08The signals were with it
00:26:09and it were coming along fast
00:26:11with the bridge wide open
00:26:12and said,
00:26:12oh,
00:26:12it's a lion there dead.
00:26:15It did seem as though
00:26:16when he was just above the station
00:26:18something warned Ben Isaacs
00:26:19the danger
00:26:19for he claps on his brakes
00:26:21and the train went a-tearing
00:26:22through the station here
00:26:24with all the brakes on
00:26:25and the whistles screaming.
00:26:27It were no use.
00:26:28The train goes a-thundering
00:26:29through the tunnel,
00:26:30straight through the open bridge
00:26:32and into the river.
00:26:33Crash!
00:26:34Horrible.
00:26:38Poor Herbert.
00:26:41I wonder it weren't
00:26:42no pretty story
00:26:44you was making me tell.
00:26:45Yes, but where
00:26:46does the haunting come in?
00:26:49Some nights
00:26:49the signal bell rings
00:26:51and the train
00:26:52comes screaming
00:26:53and a-tearing through the station
00:26:55with its whistle blowing.
00:26:57Probably a good train.
00:26:58I tell you,
00:26:59there weren't no trains
00:27:00run on these metals
00:27:00from ten at night
00:27:01till seven in the morning.
00:27:02besides
00:27:04whatever it is
00:27:06it never starts
00:27:07from Truro
00:27:08and it never runs
00:27:10into St. Bland's.
00:27:12If it be a natural thing
00:27:14where do it come from?
00:27:17Where do it go?
00:27:23Have you ever seen it?
00:27:25It shouldn't be here,
00:27:26if I had.
00:27:27They do say
00:27:28it has to look
00:27:29on the ghost train
00:27:30to mean death.
00:27:32You can stop here
00:27:39if you like
00:27:39but not me.
00:27:40I got a wife
00:27:41and children
00:27:41looking to me.
00:27:42Do you mean
00:27:42you're afraid?
00:27:43Afraid?
00:27:44I am afraid.
00:27:44I bear the shame
00:27:45to warn it.
00:27:46Well, we're not.
00:27:47Very well.
00:27:49Seeing you've
00:27:49made up your mind
00:27:50to it.
00:27:52But if he do hear a train,
00:27:55for God's sake,
00:27:56don't he go
00:27:57running out
00:27:57to look at it.
00:28:02Good night to a yawn.
00:28:05Good night, old boy.
00:28:06Thanks for the bedtime story.
00:28:11Cheerful bloke.
00:28:12Oh, I'm glad he's gone.
00:28:15Me hands have all come out
00:28:16in a perspiration.
00:28:19Ghost train.
00:28:20Ha!
00:28:21Never heard such nonsense
00:28:23in all my life.
00:28:23That railway accident
00:28:27did take place,
00:28:28you know.
00:28:28Yes, possibly.
00:28:30But all that nonsense
00:28:30about the sight of the train
00:28:31having killed people,
00:28:33surely as a medical man
00:28:34you don't believe that.
00:28:35Of course he doesn't.
00:28:36Young lady,
00:28:38I expect you think
00:28:39I'm just an old-fashioned GP.
00:28:42Nowadays,
00:28:42if these specialists
00:28:43don't understand something,
00:28:45they chatter about
00:28:45inhibitions
00:28:46and split personalities.
00:28:49I prefer the immortal William.
00:28:51There are more things
00:28:52in heaven and earth.
00:28:55He knew a thing or two.
00:28:57Eh?
00:28:58You don't think
00:28:59there's anything in
00:29:00what he said,
00:29:01do you, Herbert?
00:29:02Of course not.
00:29:03All changed.
00:29:04Come along, please.
00:29:05Any more for Dewsbury,
00:29:05Wensbury, Thursbury
00:29:06or Frybury?
00:29:07Yeah.
00:29:07Who will have a ticket
00:29:08for the ghost train?
00:29:09Guaranteed haunted
00:29:10in every bogey.
00:29:11Woo!
00:29:13Will you shut up?
00:29:15Shut up.
00:29:15Very good, sir.
00:29:16Tight, please.
00:29:19This be a natural thing.
00:29:22Where do we come from?
00:29:24Where do we go?
00:29:26To think we've got to put up
00:29:27with that little squirt
00:29:28for the next eight hours.
00:29:29An alarming thought, eh?
00:29:31You play chess by any chance,
00:29:33Doctor?
00:29:34Chess?
00:29:34Yes, yes, I have played.
00:29:36I'm afraid I'm a bit rusty
00:29:37now, though.
00:29:38Well, it's hardly my game,
00:29:39of course,
00:29:39but it helps to pass
00:29:41the time away.
00:29:42Yes.
00:29:42I have a set here.
00:29:44Splendid.
00:29:46Here we are, playmates.
00:30:04Never a dull moment.
00:30:04Gandalf's at the rescue.
00:30:05He's a scream.
00:30:06Now, never mind about the ghost train.
00:30:08What you want is a bit of music
00:30:09to cheer you up.
00:30:09And here's a little song
00:30:10I want to sing at Newquay
00:30:11this summer.
00:30:12It'll paralyze them.
00:30:13Once at the seaside,
00:30:21feeling very reckless,
00:30:22I banged down Tutms
00:30:23and I rolled on the pier
00:30:24and on the farm
00:30:25and the strains of music
00:30:26whacked it on the breeze
00:30:27and landed in my ear.
00:30:28I quickened up my steps
00:30:29full of I loved nice noises.
00:30:30Very soon arrived,
00:30:31right opposite the van,
00:30:32saw the conductor
00:30:33on a lemonade box
00:30:34with his little bat
00:30:35and stuck up in his right hand.
00:30:36One, two, three, four,
00:30:37off went the corner.
00:30:38Five, six, seven, eight,
00:30:39the fiddle's followed suit.
00:30:40Van in the corner,
00:30:41playing on the piccolo,
00:30:42keeping time
00:30:43with the soul of his boot.
00:30:44Right behind him
00:30:45was the fellow
00:30:45with the trombone,
00:30:46blowing like the devil
00:30:47with his cheeks out wide,
00:30:48working so hard
00:30:49that both his little eyeballs
00:30:50left their sockets
00:30:51and stood outside.
00:30:52Hiding on the rostrum,
00:30:53a drummer very lonely,
00:30:54drums all round
00:30:55like bees in a swarm,
00:30:56looking very cold
00:30:57with his nose quite scarlet,
00:30:58banging on the cymbals
00:30:59to keep himself warm.
00:31:00Opposite to him
00:31:00was a man
00:31:01with the toothpaste
00:31:01spitting down a reed.
00:31:03What a nasty man!
00:31:04Sitting next to him
00:31:04was the fellow
00:31:05with a French horn
00:31:05full of soul
00:31:06and a bit of beer
00:31:06toms on the can.
00:31:07Fellow with the cello,
00:31:08oom, oom, oom, oom, oom,
00:31:09trying very hard
00:31:10to saw it in two.
00:31:11He's down with the double bass,
00:31:12cuddling it fondly,
00:31:13looking like a camel
00:31:14with a dose of the flu.
00:31:15Van with the piccolo,
00:31:16fed up with the damn thing,
00:31:17sick and tired
00:31:18of hearing the same old toot.
00:31:19Thought he'd like a chain,
00:31:20so he put it down beside him
00:31:21and then started messing
00:31:22with a full-sized flute.
00:31:23A man with a bassoon,
00:31:24nothing on his music,
00:31:25sat like a boot.
00:31:26Never said a word,
00:31:27just as I thought
00:31:27he was going to fall asleep.
00:31:29He picked up his bassoon
00:31:30and gave us all the birds.
00:31:38Why, you little...
00:32:02I'll not...
00:32:03Richard, Richard,
00:32:03after all you started it...
00:32:05Yes, yes,
00:32:05we don't want any more unpleasantness,
00:32:07do we, eh?
00:32:08Well, I've had just about
00:32:09enough of him.
00:32:09I was only trying to
00:32:10cheer things out.
00:32:11Well, don't.
00:32:15So you don't want me
00:32:16to entertain you, eh?
00:32:18No.
00:32:20No, Brog?
00:32:21Napoleon?
00:32:37I heard something.
00:32:44In there.
00:32:46In where?
00:32:47The refreshment room?
00:32:49I'll go and see.
00:32:51I'll attend to this.
00:32:53Yes, certainly.
00:32:54You go first.
00:32:55Oh, help!
00:32:56Help!
00:32:57Oh, help!
00:32:58Oh, help!
00:32:59Oh!
00:33:00Oh, help!
00:33:01Oh, help!
00:33:02Oh, help!
00:33:03Oh, let me go!
00:33:04Oh, he got me!
00:33:05Oh, he got me!
00:33:06Oh, he got me!
00:33:07Oh, he got me!
00:33:08Oh, let me go!
00:33:09Oh, help!
00:33:10Oh, help!
00:33:11Help!
00:33:12Help!
00:33:18No good?
00:33:19No Polish?
00:33:20No good.
00:33:21It's all right, everyone.
00:33:22There's no thing.
00:33:23Look!
00:33:25What is it now?
00:33:27You've got a packet of tea in your hand.
00:33:29What's the matter with it?
00:33:30It's tea.
00:33:31Of course it's tea, you said little man.
00:33:33There's no need to go scaring the wits at tea.
00:33:35What an idea, a cup of tea.
00:33:37That's what I meant.
00:33:38I suppose you haven't got a teapot in the kettle and a few cups and saucers in here?
00:33:40No, I haven't.
00:33:41And you give me back my tea, see?
00:33:42Ah, Stingy.
00:33:43It's two weeks' coupons, there.
00:33:44Now, now, don't be mean.
00:33:45After all, there's a war on.
00:33:46We're adapting the poo system.
00:33:47Wait a minute.
00:33:48I'll tell you what I'll do.
00:33:49You give us your tea, see?
00:33:50Ah, Stingy.
00:33:51I'll tell you what I'll do.
00:33:52You give us your tea, and I'll give you a bacon, a sugar, and a couple of cooking fats
00:33:56out of my ration group.
00:33:57Eh?
00:33:58Yeah, go on.
00:33:59Yes, go on.
00:34:02But I don't mind you having just one teaspoonful.
00:34:05Ah, Lady Nuffield.
00:34:06Yeah.
00:34:07None for each and one for the pot.
00:34:08Ah, it's a shame to rob you.
00:34:10Oh, I don't mind, dear.
00:34:11I could do with a cup of tea myself.
00:34:14I've got a tin of milk, too.
00:34:16Oh, stop it!
00:34:17Stop it, Polly!
00:34:18You do that again, I'll have you boiled up with a few carrots.
00:34:21What are we going to make the tea?
00:34:22Well, there's sure to be a tea urn in the refreshment room.
00:34:25The girl's not as dumb as she looks.
00:34:26Come on.
00:34:28Where are you going?
00:34:29I'm going to make some tea, if you don't mind.
00:34:32Well, it's all right, it's all right.
00:34:33Don't worry.
00:34:34We can manage.
00:34:35Here you are.
00:34:36Shall we make tea in the dark, or will you have gas?
00:34:38Gas, I think.
00:34:39Certainly.
00:34:40Hmm.
00:34:41Now, then, Bobham.
00:34:42Lovely weather-wearing for this time of the day.
00:34:43What can I do for you?
00:34:44First of all, I want eight cups.
00:34:45Eight cups.
00:34:46Hmm.
00:34:47Bobham, did you say eight cups?
00:34:48Eight cups.
00:34:49Yes.
00:34:50Will you have them with or without?
00:34:51With or without what?
00:34:52Handles.
00:34:53With peas.
00:34:54I was afraid of that.
00:34:55Erm, if we're not short of handles, it's been too rough for the boats to go out.
00:35:13However, there you are.
00:35:14Four cups and four suck-ups.
00:35:17Hello.
00:35:18I've been looking all over the hotel for you.
00:35:20What do you want?
00:35:21I've come to help you make the tea.
00:35:22Well, we don't want any help.
00:35:23Good.
00:35:24What do I do?
00:35:25The doctor needs to be a tap here.
00:35:26To come and help you find some water.
00:35:27Goody, goody.
00:35:28Wait a minute.
00:35:29You can't go out in this rain.
00:35:30Of course not.
00:35:31No.
00:35:32You go.
00:35:33Oh.
00:35:34Do you mind?
00:35:35No.
00:35:36Me other suit will be dry by the time I get back.
00:35:37Big hearty gander, that's me.
00:35:38Hot water in number 14.
00:35:40Of course, if you insist, I'm going.
00:35:41She doesn't.
00:35:42Oh.
00:35:43What do you want?
00:35:44What do you want?
00:35:45I've come to help you make the tea.
00:35:46I've come to help you make the tea.
00:35:47Well, we don't want any help.
00:35:48Good.
00:35:49What do I do?
00:35:50Is this done going?
00:35:51He doesn't.
00:35:52Oh.
00:35:53Oh.
00:35:54The very thing.
00:36:00It's a far, far wetter thing I go through.
00:36:20No.
00:36:23What's that?
00:36:32Okay.
00:36:35No.
00:36:36No.
00:36:45jewelry.
00:36:47Let's go.
00:37:17Here. Guess what I found.
00:37:33I wouldn't be surprised.
00:37:35The wheel that works the bridge. You know, the one that old man nearly died on.
00:37:38Oh, can't you forget about that, old man?
00:37:40All right, old man.
00:37:41It's true, there is a wheel.
00:37:42Yes, it's just outside there.
00:37:44What a gruesome thought, isn't it?
00:37:46But what must it be when the train comes a-screamin' and a-tearin' through the station
00:37:51with its whiskers blowin' and its haunted steamer?
00:37:54I said forget it!
00:37:58What was I talking about?
00:38:00Here, can I help you?
00:38:01Oh, I know. Light the blue paper and retire immediately.
00:38:10Hold on, everybody. Don't be alarmed.
00:38:12That was the tea urn.
00:38:13I just tea urned the gas on.
00:38:15Ah. I'd better take that one out of the joke book.
00:38:23I'm afraid my stuff's too high-class for them.
00:38:25Hello, I see you got it to light.
00:38:26Yes, we know how it works and we found the cups and we're doing very well, thank you very much.
00:38:29All right, I was only trying to be useful.
00:38:31Wasn't I, Miss, uh, her...
00:38:32What did you say your name was?
00:38:34The lady didn't say what her name was.
00:38:35Well, I told her what my name was.
00:38:36Well, that's no reason to come in here and...
00:38:37If it'll stop you two arguing, it's Winthrop.
00:38:40Jackie Winthrop.
00:38:41Winthrop? Oh, the same as R.G. in there.
00:38:43Well, he's not your brother.
00:38:45And he's not your father.
00:38:47He can't be your sister even if he does play hockey for an amp show.
00:38:50Who cares? Is this a cross-examination?
00:38:51Oh, I don't mind.
00:38:52Well, I do.
00:38:53This silly little man's done nothing but force his attentions on you ever since he lost his silly hat.
00:38:57Well, I can't call her Miss Watson, eh?
00:38:58Beside, I was only trying to help.
00:39:00Well, go and help the people in the other room.
00:39:01Oh, I don't want to.
00:39:02Oh, no.
00:39:03Let's go.
00:39:07He's your cousin.
00:39:10And you're not, ehm?
00:39:14No.
00:39:14That's all I wanted to know.
00:39:18I say, don't be so miserable.
00:39:20Oh, come on. Cheer up.
00:39:22Don't do that.
00:39:24Giving me the palpitations.
00:39:26I say, talking about ghosts.
00:39:28We're not.
00:39:29But I am.
00:39:31Talking about ghosts reminds me of a story about Golders Green.
00:39:34Do you know Golders Green?
00:39:35The underground?
00:39:35No, the crematorium.
00:39:38Oh?
00:39:39One day, as they were pushing the bodies in...
00:39:42Shut up.
00:39:43Wait a minute.
00:39:45As they were pushing the bodies in...
00:39:47Will you shut up?
00:39:48Don't you see you're frightening the ladies?
00:39:50Don't be silly.
00:39:50You're enjoying it, aren't you?
00:39:51No, I'm not.
00:39:53Oh.
00:39:54Perhaps you'd rather I told you the story about the man who had his tongue torn out.
00:39:58No, I wouldn't.
00:40:00Oh, aren't you a difficult lot?
00:40:02No, I'm not.
00:40:04Tea for eight coming up.
00:40:05Two nothing.
00:40:06Tea early.
00:40:07Eight cups of tea.
00:40:08What about Ted?
00:40:09Doesn't he get one?
00:40:10Ted?
00:40:10Who's Ted?
00:40:11Ted Holmes.
00:40:12I bet he's a bit thirsty by now.
00:40:14After all, he's been lying here these past 43 years.
00:40:17That's not funny.
00:40:18I know it's not funny.
00:40:19How would you like to be lying there with a lamp still burning in your hands?
00:40:22Will you?
00:40:23Oh, come and help me lay the table.
00:40:25Yes, all right.
00:40:25Excuse me.
00:40:29Can we have these?
00:40:30Tar, give it to you back afterwards.
00:40:31Now, don't fuss.
00:40:32There you are.
00:40:32Move these.
00:40:33Aye, thank you.
00:40:34That's splendid.
00:40:35There we are.
00:40:36First service now ready.
00:40:38Take your seats for the first service.
00:40:45Charlie, hot coffee and buttered rolls twice.
00:40:48Oh, and a semolina for the spook.
00:40:50Won't be long now, sir.
00:40:51Oh, I shouldn't put him here.
00:40:56Why?
00:40:57He's too near Ted's lamp.
00:40:59He'll singe his parson's nose.
00:41:00Wait a minute.
00:41:07You're asking for a judgment, young man.
00:41:10Joking like that about them that's gone.
00:41:12Oh, old Ted wouldn't mind.
00:41:14If he was alive now, he'd die of laughing.
00:41:16Wouldn't you, Ted?
00:41:17Good old Ted.
00:41:20Herbert.
00:41:21Ask them if you'd like one of our sandwiches.
00:41:24No.
00:41:25Why not?
00:41:25We want them.
00:41:29Would you like one of our sandwiches?
00:41:31We might as well share what we've got.
00:41:33Oh, it's awfully sweet of you.
00:41:34That's all right.
00:41:34We've got plenty.
00:41:36Haven't we, Herbert?
00:41:37That's right.
00:41:38I've got two hard-boiled eggs.
00:41:41They don't agree with me.
00:41:42Quite a party.
00:41:43Tea, eggs, sandwiches.
00:41:45Yeah, isn't this fun?
00:41:45Let's see what else we can collect.
00:41:47Oh, I've got the salt.
00:41:48Two pieces of sugar.
00:41:49Oh, tar.
00:41:50Oh, no, they're for polish.
00:41:51She always has my ration.
00:41:52Ah.
00:41:55Oh.
00:41:55I always give mine to Ted.
00:41:58All right, sir.
00:41:58What about a slice of lemon for half time?
00:42:00Now, I warn you, gander.
00:42:02Hang on.
00:42:03I have a little brandy here I always carry with me.
00:42:07For medicinal purposes, of course.
00:42:08Oh, yes.
00:42:09I can see the cough.
00:42:11A cold, yes.
00:42:12If anyone else would like a sip with their tea, eh?
00:42:14Brandy and tea?
00:42:16Disgusting.
00:42:16I don't know how a doctor can bring himself to mention it.
00:42:19Oh.
00:42:19I must say, I'm not surprised, coming from him.
00:42:23Do you mean to say you never tasted brandy in your tea?
00:42:25I've never tasted alcohol in my life.
00:42:27Then you shouldn't knock it back so quickly.
00:42:29You should chew it a bit.
00:42:30Thank you, doctor.
00:42:31Here's my contribution.
00:42:32Two sausage rolls, very rare specimens.
00:42:35Who's the wreath from?
00:42:35Put it down.
00:42:36Don't touch the exhibits.
00:42:38Here, go and force your rhubarb.
00:42:40Would you like to pass it round?
00:42:42All you have one?
00:42:42Oh, thanks.
00:42:43Sausage roll.
00:42:44I don't make a bend them.
00:42:46Oh, he stuck his foot out that time.
00:42:49Oh, come and sit down.
00:42:51Richard, some tea?
00:42:52Oh, thanks.
00:42:54Sausage roll, doctor.
00:42:55Oh, no thanks.
00:42:56What, no cake?
00:42:57We had a bit of cake, but we ate it at Plymouth, didn't we?
00:43:00That's right.
00:43:01It's not right.
00:43:02How can you have your cake and eat it at Plymouth?
00:43:03Ha, ha.
00:43:04Ha.
00:43:05Oh, well, I haven't provided anything yet.
00:43:08Now, let me see.
00:43:09Oh, there's a chocolate machine outside.
00:43:10Give me your pennies and I'll provide the sweet.
00:43:12Eh?
00:43:12The first sensible thing you've said.
00:43:14Come on, let's have your lovely pennies.
00:43:15Ta.
00:43:16My benefit next Tuesday.
00:43:18There we are.
00:43:18What about you, auntie?
00:43:20Two hatinies.
00:43:21Two hatinies.
00:43:21Oh, well, here you are.
00:43:22Give me those.
00:43:23I'll give you a penny.
00:43:23That's right, isn't it?
00:43:25Yes.
00:43:26You're here.
00:43:26There you are, Ted.
00:43:43Now, is it nobody's way?
00:43:48That was the other foot.
00:43:49I don't think I feel much like eating.
00:44:04Well, you ought to try Miss Hawking, Miss Edna Hawking.
00:44:08But it'll be Edna Perkins tomorrow, won't it, David?
00:44:11I hope so.
00:44:14What the?
00:44:15There you are.
00:44:31Chocolates?
00:44:33Chocolates, you silly little man.
00:44:36These are matches.
00:44:38But I...
00:44:38Matches.
00:44:43That's right.
00:44:44Oh, never mind.
00:44:45We'll do without.
00:44:45Well, we just have to smoke lots of cigarettes and use them up.
00:44:48Cigarette, doctor.
00:44:49Oh, cigarettes.
00:44:51Talking of cigarettes reminds me of something that once happened to me.
00:44:54Do you know, I was sitting in a railway carriage opposite a man with a bowler hat,
00:44:59and he was smoking a cigarette.
00:45:01Well, the cigarette got shorter and shorter,
00:45:05and suddenly I realized it was burning right through his lip.
00:45:10Sizzle.
00:45:12Sizzle.
00:45:13Sizzle.
00:45:15I found out afterwards he'd been dead since Clatham Junction.
00:45:19Now, look here.
00:45:20Just because some fool of a station master tells a story that...
00:45:23Listen.
00:45:32There's someone coming down the platform.
00:45:40Wait!
00:45:41What?
00:45:46Rosanna?
00:45:46Do you know?
00:45:47It's the station, master.
00:46:17Look serious, take him into the other room and I'll get some water.
00:46:27I'll go.
00:46:28I know what it is.
00:46:29I'll take it off, sir.
00:46:31Better get him on the table here.
00:46:45I'll go.
00:46:52I'll go.
00:47:01Oh dear. Oh dear. I think I'm going off too. I'm just as frightened as you are but we must
00:47:22time for ourselves together. It says, I run all the way. I'm afraid you're too late.
00:47:34Poor fellow. We'll have to phone the police. I'll do that. Well, we'd better get back to the ladies.
00:47:43How is he? He's, he's dead. Dead? I fear so. As far as I can tell, he died of shock. I say,
00:47:56you don't think there is anything in that stall? No, we don't. Well, if you don't, I do. Oh,
00:48:01but you've got to take me out of here. You can't go in this weather. I'm not stopping here with no
00:48:05corpses. Yes, but where are we going to? I don't know. Back to mother somehow. I think I'd rather
00:48:11stay here with the deceased. I'm not stopping here with no corpses. Not for nobody. Come on, Herbert.
00:48:17Richard, you're not going to let them go like that. If they want to go, it's their funeral. Who said
00:48:29funerals? Now, don't you worry. Everything's going to be all right. Oh dear. To think that such a thing
00:48:36should happen to me. But nothing has happened to you. Yet. Try this. Oh dear, I shall never be the same
00:48:49woman again. I can't get through to the police. The line must be down. Oh, get in. Police. What do we want
00:48:55the police for? Oh, only to see if they can get in the car. Where's the happy couple? They've gone. Gone?
00:49:00Where to? They've gone to break the news to mother. I want to go too. I don't like it here. I want to go
00:49:07home. Doctor, isn't there anything we can do for her? Well, I... Ah, here we are. Dr. Hennessy's blood
00:49:13mixture. Now, this will put you on your feet. Or knock you off them. Cheerio. Do you feel better now?
00:49:22You certainly look better. Here. Try a drop more. It smells like Christmas pudding. Oh, I believe
00:49:35it's brandy. No. Is it really? Let me see. Do you know I believe you're right? This is just
00:49:45what you want. Not likely. I was born and raised strict temperance. And so I mean to stay. But
00:49:51this is medicine. Well, if you're sure. But only a tiny drop now. Just to ease the palpitation. Yes.
00:50:00Yes. Cuff it up. Oh. Oh, now I've broken the pledge. It's warming me all the way down. Yes. You
00:50:16wait till he gets to the junction. It's not really nasty, is it? No. I mean as medicines go. That
00:50:24seems to be going pretty well. I think I'd better take that. Just a minute. There I go. She's
00:50:34got a bad the same as you had. Now sit that slowly and you'll be as right as rain. That's
00:50:40right. Got a funny taste, doesn't it? Listen, I've just thought of something funny. Well, that's
00:50:48a change. Remember when he fell through the door? Yeah. It was just eleven o'clock. What about
00:50:53it? Don't you remember? The station master said that that was the time that Ted owns. Will you shut up
00:50:59about all that? I was on it, sir. Hey. Here, here, here, here. Oh, look. All gone. Now, what have you
00:51:09been a-doin' of? Do you know, in spite of all these terrible happenings, I'm beginning to feel quite
00:51:21happy. You naughty girl. You're tight and you like it. Oh, dear, what can the matter be? Oh, dear, what can the matter be?
00:51:35I think you'd better go and lie down. Go and lie down yourself. I mean, you'd be much more comfortable.
00:51:42I'm lovely and comfortable. Thank you. Oh, wait. Oh, wait. Oh, Emma. Whoops-a-daisy. Whoops-a-bloomin' buttercup.
00:51:49The Buffet. Little Miss Muffet, up to the Buffet. You know, everything's going well. I feel just as I did when I come up with big wheel blackfall.
00:52:00Oh, not surprised.
00:52:02Oh, dear, what, Kevin?
00:52:04Where are we going to?
00:52:06Now, now, we're going to put you to bed.
00:52:08Young man, I think you forget yourself.
00:52:12Young woman, I think you flatter yourself.
00:52:16Here we go.
00:52:18Oh, I don't want to go in here.
00:52:20Yeah, go on, here you go.
00:52:22I don't want to go in here.
00:52:24Oh, come on.
00:52:26Here we are.
00:52:28You'll make a lovely bed.
00:52:30Come on.
00:52:32But I've got a beautiful bed in my own.
00:52:34No.
00:52:35Oh, yes, I have.
00:52:37I've got brass bedsteads in every room.
00:52:40What do you think of that, Titch?
00:52:42You hear that? Brass bedsteads.
00:52:44Brass bedsteads.
00:52:46With knobs on.
00:52:48Nobs!
00:52:55Whoa, take it easy, Mrs. Whoa-ho!
00:52:57Misses.
00:52:58Miss.
00:52:59Miss Bourne.
00:53:00I'm spinstress.
00:53:02Spinstress.
00:53:03With knobs on.
00:53:05I'm maiden laden.
00:53:07Here we are.
00:53:08Assuming nice and comfortable.
00:53:12And let me tell you, my bonnie blue-eyed boy,
00:53:16I was not neglected in my youth.
00:53:20Well, one of you go and get her rug for one of you.
00:53:23I'll get it.
00:53:24I'll get it.
00:53:25Come on now.
00:53:26Snow use.
00:53:27Snow use.
00:53:29Snow knobs.
00:53:30Not?
00:53:31Never mind.
00:53:32Come on.
00:53:33Snow knobs.
00:53:34Wait a minute.
00:53:35Have you seen this?
00:53:36What?
00:53:37They all stay on.
00:53:38Ah, good.
00:53:39There you are.
00:53:40Now you'll be as snug as a rug in a rug.
00:53:41Look.
00:53:42Nobs.
00:53:43Nobs.
00:53:44Nobs.
00:53:45Lovely nobs.
00:53:46There you are.
00:53:47Now go to sleep.
00:53:48Shh, shh, shh, shh.
00:53:49Go to Bobo.
00:53:50Nobs.
00:53:51This place is getting more like a madhouse every minute.
00:53:52Richard.
00:53:53What?
00:53:54I thought I heard a screen.
00:53:55You're imagining things.
00:53:58What's the matter?
00:53:59Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:54:04رفitt.
00:54:05Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:54:19Here you are, Scotty, Detective.
00:54:20I mean, good.
00:54:21This place is getting more like a madhouse every minute.
00:54:25Richard.
00:54:26What?
00:54:27I thought I heard a screen.
00:54:29You're imagining things.
00:54:30But he's coming this way!
00:54:36Let me in, let me in!
00:54:44You must help me. Please help me.
00:54:47Hide me from him.
00:54:49Hide you? What do you mean?
00:54:51He's coming. He'll want to take me back, but I'm not going, I'm not.
00:54:55I've got to see it tonight.
00:54:58I know it'll come. I always know.
00:55:01I'm afraid I don't follow you.
00:55:02But you know, you must know.
00:55:07There's a car coming down the road.
00:55:09It's him.
00:55:11Don't let him find me.
00:55:16You can't go in there.
00:55:17Then where can I go?
00:55:19We'll look after you, won't we?
00:55:20But he's coming, I tell you. Listen.
00:55:28He's crashed. I'll go out there.
00:55:32You better stay here, Vincent.
00:55:34I'm coming.
00:55:35Better come too, Doctor.
00:55:36Yeah, that's my coat.
00:55:37Oh, you look after the shop.
00:55:45Are you hurt?
00:55:46No, I don't think so.
00:55:48You give me a car a bit of a headache.
00:55:50I've had it.
00:55:51Oh, look here.
00:55:52I've heard of it raining cats and poodles,
00:55:54but that was stopping and he's here.
00:55:57Some damn fool left his luggage in the middle of the road.
00:56:00Must be Edmund and Herbert.
00:56:02We can't hang about in this.
00:56:04Better come with us.
00:56:05There's a fire in the wick room.
00:56:06Bring the fender with you.
00:56:08Oh, he won't half laugh when he sees this.
00:56:11Now, stay in there and keep quiet.
00:56:24Oh, Herbert.
00:56:25Look at how offended.
00:56:27And my true soul.
00:56:35Well, who the devil are you people?
00:56:36Well, who the devil are you?
00:56:38Yes, my name's Price.
00:56:40Oh, I'm Tommy Yander.
00:56:42He's a scream.
00:56:43Comedian and entertainer.
00:56:44So far you've been neither.
00:56:46Neither.
00:56:47Neither.
00:56:48Oh, we've been through all that.
00:56:49Oh, Herbert.
00:56:50My new night is...
00:56:52I shan't have anything to wear tomorrow night.
00:56:55That's right.
00:56:57What are you all doing here at this time of night?
00:56:59We might ask you the same question.
00:57:01I came out to look for my sister.
00:57:03Your sister?
00:57:04Yes, I had certain reasons for believing that she'd come to this place.
00:57:07Oh?
00:57:08And why do you think she'd come here?
00:57:10I can't be expected to go into that with strangers.
00:57:12In that case, I'm afraid we can't help you.
00:57:14I see.
00:57:15Then I'm afraid I shall look for myself.
00:57:17So she is in there.
00:57:25Before we get belligerent, don't you think some explanation would help?
00:57:29All right.
00:57:31You must know.
00:57:33My sister's...
00:57:34Well, not quite normal.
00:57:36She suffers from delusions.
00:57:38Normally, she's kept under observation.
00:57:42Tonight, she got away.
00:57:44It's a lie.
00:57:47Don't listen to him.
00:57:49He's trying to take me back.
00:57:51So there you are, Julia.
00:57:52It's no good.
00:57:53I can't come back.
00:57:54You know I can't.
00:57:55Now, be sensible, Julia.
00:57:56Oh, what's the good of talking?
00:57:58I must stay here.
00:58:00I can't help myself.
00:58:01Julia.
00:58:02Don't touch me.
00:58:03Go away.
00:58:04Just a minute.
00:58:05How do we know that you're telling the truth?
00:58:06Here, here.
00:58:07Perhaps you'll be good enough to mind your own business.
00:58:08It is my business if you insist on taking her away against her will.
00:58:09I associate myself with that unanimously.
00:58:10Now, look here, Mr. McIntosh.
00:58:11What's it got to do with you?
00:58:12It's right.
00:58:13What's it got to do with me?
00:58:14Here.
00:58:15Don't let him take me back.
00:58:16Please.
00:58:17Why can't she stay here?
00:58:18At least until she's feeling better.
00:58:19Now, listen to me.
00:58:20Now, listen to me.
00:58:21I can't help myself.
00:58:22I can't help myself.
00:58:23Julia.
00:58:24Don't touch me.
00:58:25Go away.
00:58:26Just a minute.
00:58:27How do we know that you're telling the truth?
00:58:28Here, here.
00:58:29Perhaps you'll be good enough to mind your own business.
00:58:30It is my business if you insist on taking her away against her will.
00:58:32I associate myself with that unanimously.
00:58:33Please.
00:58:34Why can't she stay here?
00:58:35At least until she's feeling better.
00:58:37Now, listen to me.
00:58:38Please.
00:58:39You people have heard the story of this place, I suppose.
00:58:41About the train that starts screaming around Ted Holm's land.
00:58:46Rush!
00:58:47He means the ghost train.
00:58:48So called.
00:58:49Well, that infernal nonsense is responsible for my sister's mental condition.
00:58:54She was near this station one night several years ago.
00:58:56She thought she saw the train.
00:58:57But I did see it.
00:58:58You know I saw it.
00:58:59I did see it.
00:59:00Yes, yes.
00:59:01It was a great shock to her.
00:59:03So great a shock that it, well, affected her permanently.
00:59:08Some nights she gets the idea that the ghost train will run.
00:59:11It has a morbid fascination for her.
00:59:13She feels she must see it again.
00:59:16Tonight is one of those occasions.
00:59:18I hope you understand.
00:59:20But it will come tonight.
00:59:23I know it will.
00:59:25Yes, yes.
00:59:26By the way, who told you this story?
00:59:28The station master.
00:59:29The station master.
00:59:30With all the trimming.
00:59:31Mind you, he wound us.
00:59:32Twent no pretty story.
00:59:33What old Saul Hodgkin?
00:59:34Where is he?
00:59:35He's in the ticket office.
00:59:37He's dead.
00:59:38That's right.
00:59:39Saul Hodgkin dead?
00:59:41Good heavens.
00:59:42His troubles are over.
00:59:44I've locked the door.
00:59:47Is this a joke?
00:59:48Because if so, it doesn't amuse me.
00:59:50Of course not.
00:59:51We put him on there ourselves.
00:59:52Well, where is he now?
00:59:53I don't know.
00:59:54We were all in the other room, so he can't have gone out.
00:59:55Apart from being dead.
00:59:56He's done.
00:59:57He can't have.
00:59:58When's all this supposed to have happened?
00:59:59Well, it happened all right.
01:00:00We all saw it.
01:00:01That's right.
01:00:02Yes, you ask this gentleman.
01:00:03He's a doctor.
01:00:04He should know a dead body when he sees one.
01:00:05Yes, sir.
01:00:06I rather think I should.
01:00:07The man was certainly dead.
01:00:08A heart failure.
01:00:09In my opinion, there is a doctor.
01:00:10He's a doctor.
01:00:11He's a doctor.
01:00:12He's a doctor.
01:00:13He's a doctor.
01:00:14He should know a dead body when he sees one.
01:00:15Yes, sir.
01:00:16I rather think I should.
01:00:17The man was certainly dead.
01:00:18A heart failure.
01:00:19In my opinion, a result of a shock.
01:00:20What happened, exactly?
01:00:21Well, he left here to go home.
01:00:22About 20 minutes later, we heard footsteps.
01:00:23When I opened the door, he fell forward into the room.
01:00:25Which door?
01:00:26That one.
01:00:27I knew it.
01:00:28Don't you see?
01:00:29It wasn't Saul Hodgkin at all.
01:00:30It was terrible.
01:00:31It was terrible.
01:00:32I knew it.
01:00:33Don't you see?
01:00:34It wasn't Saul Hodgkin at all.
01:00:35It was terrible.
01:00:36It was terrible.
01:00:37I knew it.
01:00:38It was terrible.
01:00:39It was terrible.
01:00:40It was terrible.
01:00:41It was terrible.
01:00:42It was terrible.
01:00:43It was terrible.
01:00:44I knew it.
01:00:45It wasn't Saul Hodgkin at all.
01:00:46It was Ted Holmes, coming back from the dead.
01:00:50What did he look like?
01:00:52You mean his face?
01:00:53Yes, yes.
01:00:54Well, have you ever seen a bad nut?
01:00:56He was a tall, gaud sort of fellow.
01:00:59Are you sure of that?
01:01:01Of course.
01:01:02It wasn't the stationmaster.
01:01:04It was Ted Holmes.
01:01:07Come now, Julia.
01:01:08You're upsetting everybody.
01:01:09It must have been Hodgkin.
01:01:10Then where is he?
01:01:11A man couldn't vanish into thin air.
01:01:14And the time when all this happened.
01:01:16It was 11 o'clock, wasn't it?
01:01:18Wasn't it?
01:01:19Richard.
01:01:20That proves it.
01:01:23We've got to get her away from here.
01:01:25No.
01:01:26I'm staying.
01:01:27I'm staying here till it comes.
01:01:29You know it will come.
01:01:31You say I imagine it, but you only want to put me away like you did before.
01:01:35No.
01:01:36I'm not leaving.
01:01:37I'm going to see it.
01:01:38I must see it.
01:01:39Even if it kills me.
01:01:40That's enough, Julia.
01:01:41If you don't mind.
01:01:43If she were a patient of mine, I'd let her stay, you know.
01:01:46You don't understand.
01:01:47Quite likely.
01:01:48They do say I'm old-fashioned.
01:01:50But if she stays and the train doesn't come, and it won't, she will realize then that it is only a delusion.
01:01:56Surely that's only common sense.
01:01:58Eh?
01:01:59All right.
01:02:00But don't think I'm going to be any party to this tomfoolery.
01:02:03As soon as I can find another car, you're coming back with me.
01:02:07Now, Mr. McIntosh, if we shouldn't be here when you get back, will you see the papers spell my name right?
01:02:12G-A-N, please.
01:02:17He's gone.
01:02:18Yes.
01:02:19You'll be all right now.
01:02:20As soon as the rain stops, we can all go.
01:02:22No, I'm staying here.
01:02:24Of course.
01:02:25Just as you like.
01:02:27Like?
01:02:28It isn't as I like.
01:02:31It's because I can't help myself.
01:02:34This place terrifies me.
01:02:38But it fascinates me, too.
01:02:41It's full of eyes.
01:02:43They stare and stare.
01:02:47Don't look at me like that.
01:02:50You think I'm mad, but I'm not mad.
01:02:52Oh, no.
01:02:53I...
01:02:54I...
01:02:55I...
01:02:56I don't.
01:02:58You see, I know what's going to happen.
01:03:01It's going to happen soon.
01:03:03The scream of brakes.
01:03:05The shriek of the whistle.
01:03:06Louder.
01:03:07Louder.
01:03:08Why don't you all go now and leave me before it's too late?
01:03:13When the train comes.
01:03:14The train won't come.
01:03:15It came that night.
01:03:16I saw it thundering down the valley, on, on, into the river.
01:03:20Then I saw Ben Isaacs, the driver, coming back out of the tunnel.
01:03:25But weren't they all killed?
01:03:27All except Ben Isaacs.
01:03:28He was thrown clear.
01:03:30He came back to the station singing.
01:03:33Singing rock of ages.
01:03:37His mind gone.
01:03:39They say, that before the ghost train runs, you hear the bell ringing, dismally.
01:03:50It'll be here soon.
01:03:51I know it.
01:03:52Look.
01:03:53Don't you see?
01:03:54There.
01:03:55What?
01:03:56Look.
01:03:57It's Ted Holmes again.
01:03:58Coming out of the office.
01:03:59Don't you see?
01:04:00Yes.
01:04:01Yes.
01:04:02Of course.
01:04:03But don't you think it'd be better if we all...
01:04:05He's crossing towards the door.
01:04:08Look.
01:04:09He's opening the door.
01:04:25Look.
01:04:26He's opening the door.
01:04:31It's all right. It's only the wind.
01:04:43I've got an auntie who suffers with that.
01:04:45Her doors are always blowing open.
01:04:47My auntie Flory.
01:04:48I think this room's worrying you.
01:04:50Let's go into the refreshment room.
01:04:51If you open the door now,
01:04:53you'll find he's still there.
01:04:56We'll soon see.
01:04:58No, wait!
01:04:59Now listen to me, my dear.
01:05:03There's nothing to worry about.
01:05:04Come over by the fire.
01:05:06Come along.
01:05:09There.
01:05:16Now listen.
01:05:17I've got a nasty feeling we haven't got over the worst of this yet.
01:05:19I want you to promise that if anything unpleasant happens,
01:05:22you'll be guided by me.
01:05:24All right.
01:05:26Look!
01:05:27The light's going out.
01:05:29Why don't you go?
01:05:36There's still time.
01:05:37We can't go.
01:05:38Then stop your ears.
01:05:40For God's sake, don't look.
01:05:42Remember what happened to me.
01:05:44You must be warned.
01:05:45You must.
01:05:49Listen.
01:05:49The signal bell.
01:05:52Now will you believe me?
01:05:56Nonsense.
01:05:56That doesn't prove anything.
01:05:57But the bell.
01:05:58It always rings.
01:05:59Now look here.
01:06:00This is absurd.
01:06:05What was that?
01:06:06What?
01:06:08I thought I heard a train whistle.
01:06:09It's coming.
01:06:11It's coming.
01:06:13It's coming.
01:06:15She's right.
01:06:16It is a train.
01:06:18Thundering down the valley.
01:06:19It's coming.
01:06:21It's coming.
01:06:23On.
01:06:24On.
01:06:25I'm going to look.
01:06:26No.
01:06:30You got them?
01:06:38You're a shovel.
01:06:41Listen.
01:06:42Listen to it.
01:06:44I've got to see it.
01:06:46I must see it.
01:06:47Almost over.
01:06:48It's coming.
01:06:49Is she dead?
01:07:14No, no.
01:07:14Her pulse is weak, but steady enough.
01:07:17Would you get me some water, please?
01:07:18Yes, of course.
01:07:20Wait a minute.
01:07:20There's no more water in there.
01:07:22I'll get some from outside.
01:07:23You show me where it is.
01:07:25Oh, I've just remembered.
01:07:26The ghost train had all its lights on.
01:07:28Well, what about it?
01:07:28Well, they'll get pinched.
01:07:29It's after blackout time.
01:07:30Don't be silly.
01:07:31All that was 43 years ago.
01:07:33There was no war on then.
01:07:34Yes, there was.
01:07:35There was the Boer War.
01:07:38Can't stand any more of this.
01:07:40Come to the end of the tether.
01:07:42Where's the other stock?
01:07:45Now, I want you to go right back in there.
01:07:47And whatever happens, don't let anyone leave.
01:07:49Where are you going?
01:07:50To get some water.
01:07:51We don't need any water.
01:07:52Well, what about Fanny Fadeaway?
01:07:53Yes, the doctor said.
01:07:54Please, there's no time to explain that now.
01:07:56You said you'd trust me.
01:07:57Yes, I do.
01:07:59But where will you be?
01:08:00We're going outside to do a bit of snooping.
01:08:02Snooping?
01:08:03That's an idea.
01:08:04You be Charlie Chan, I be Honorable Son.
01:08:07What if they ask me where you are?
01:08:09Tell them unwary servants take the explicable glass to get the unsplicable water.
01:08:13Go on, go back inside there.
01:08:15There's a good go.
01:08:16Glow, glow, glow.
01:08:18She's glum.
01:08:19Now, where's this bridge wheel?
01:08:21What bridge wheel?
01:08:21Oh, I don't know whether I'd bother about that.
01:08:23Remember what happened to Edward?
01:08:24Edward?
01:08:25Edward, oh.
01:08:26Oh, go on, show me where it is.
01:08:28This way, look.
01:08:29That's it over there.
01:08:32It looks like a washing-up machine.
01:08:34Ah, so this is the historic spot.
01:08:38I say, it doesn't go smoke smell funny.
01:08:40I bet you can't say that quickly.
01:08:42It doesn't go smoke smell...
01:08:43I found that with me other teeth in.
01:08:46Hello, it isn't there.
01:08:47What is it?
01:08:48The old man's lamp.
01:08:49I put it there when I came to get the water.
01:08:51I say.
01:08:51Didn't old Saul Hodgkin say this bridge was always open?
01:08:54It ain't been closed these 43 years, it ain't.
01:08:56It ain't, eh?
01:08:57Well, look at that.
01:08:58Closed.
01:08:59That's funny.
01:09:00It was open just now.
01:09:19Ben Isaacs.
01:09:23He's coming back.
01:09:27Oh, I warned you.
01:09:28I warned you.
01:09:45There were shots.
01:09:47Got him.
01:09:48Don't let him get away.
01:09:48I can't see any ghost.
01:10:15I suppose you haven't run through it.
01:10:22Eddie.
01:10:24Eddie.
01:10:24Eddie.
01:10:25Eddie.
01:10:26Eddie, where are you?
01:10:28Eddie.
01:10:31John.
01:10:32Take me away from here.
01:10:34I'll come with you now.
01:10:35It's all right, Julio.
01:10:36I've managed to get a bus.
01:10:37It's outside.
01:10:38Oh, well played, sir.
01:10:39That's right.
01:10:40Come on, Edna.
01:10:40If you're ready, I suggest we don't waste any time.
01:10:43We've been here too long as it is.
01:10:45Yes, but some idiot's been fooling around with a gun outside.
01:10:48What?
01:10:49Didn't you hear?
01:10:50Yes, just now.
01:10:52But you can't leave here until...
01:10:53until the police arrive.
01:10:56So you're the idiot with the gun.
01:10:58I might have known it.
01:11:01What the blazes have you been shooting at?
01:11:04A ghost.
01:11:05And no ordinary ghost either.
01:11:07This one had a signature tune.
01:11:09Oh, I'm sick of all this nonsense.
01:11:12Come on, let's go.
01:11:13Wait a minute.
01:11:13I'm afraid nobody goes.
01:11:17Excuse me.
01:11:20Now look here.
01:11:21Get back.
01:11:23Go on.
01:11:24Sit down.
01:11:27Have you gone there?
01:11:28On the concert.
01:11:31I suppose everyone knows what this is.
01:11:37Believe it or not, the blood of Ben Isaacs.
01:11:40I've winged a ghost.
01:11:42Oh, rot.
01:11:43If you don't open these doors...
01:11:45Mr. Winthrop,
01:11:46there wouldn't be any reason
01:11:47why you'd want us all the way from here, would there?
01:11:49And what the devil do you mean by that?
01:11:52Yes.
01:11:52I'd like to know that, too.
01:11:54Perhaps I should explain
01:11:55that the person responsible for the ghost train
01:11:57is with us in this room now.
01:12:02The ghost train?
01:12:04Yes.
01:12:05Only it isn't a ghost train.
01:12:06This one happens to be as real
01:12:08as the Plymouth Express.
01:12:09But, uh, there was an accident, you know.
01:12:15Perfectly true.
01:12:16There was a strong local superstition
01:12:18about the ghost train.
01:12:20That's what gave somebody in this room the idea.
01:12:23Made their job easier,
01:12:24because for years people had stuck their heads
01:12:26under the bedclothes
01:12:27if they heard a train in the night.
01:12:29But when we turned up,
01:12:30we made it rather awkward for them.
01:12:31So when the station master
01:12:33couldn't get rid of us,
01:12:34they set to work scaring us out.
01:12:37But they didn't, did they?
01:12:38Uh, no.
01:12:40Bless my soul.
01:12:43Don't look at me like that.
01:12:45I don't know anything about it.
01:12:47I assure you I'm going to Red Roof
01:12:48as Dr. Harraby's locum.
01:12:50Huh?
01:12:52Just a moment.
01:12:52I don't pretend to understand all this,
01:12:56but you and your silly little friend
01:12:57have been behaving rather queerly yourselves.
01:13:00Exactly what game are you playing at?
01:13:02Richard, I just remembered.
01:13:04If it hadn't been for Mr. Gander,
01:13:06he wouldn't be here at all.
01:13:08Jackie!
01:13:11Richard, did you have to do that?
01:13:13Of course, the man's alluded to it.
01:13:14Might have shot somebody at any moment.
01:13:16Oh, here's the key.
01:13:18Now we can get out of here.
01:13:20But you can't leave him here like this.
01:13:21Don't worry, we're going to take him with us.
01:13:23Yes, a little fresh air.
01:13:24We'll soon bring him round.
01:13:25Will you two bring him to the bus?
01:13:27Yes, certainly.
01:13:28Right.
01:13:29Come on, Herbert, you help.
01:13:30What, me?
01:13:35Your bags, Oscar?
01:13:37Oh, yes, I'll come back for them.
01:13:38Be careful.
01:13:39Standing.
01:13:46Oh, thank heaven to get out of here.
01:13:47I'm sick of this hole.
01:13:49I don't want to complain,
01:13:50but I do hope this will be all for tonight.
01:13:52Yeah.
01:13:57He'll be all right.
01:13:58In here.
01:14:07Have you got him?
01:14:08All right, driver.
01:14:10Hey!
01:14:11Hey!
01:14:12Hey!
01:14:12Wait a minute!
01:14:13I nearly missed the bus.
01:14:18Oh, it's right.
01:14:19Where the blazes have you been?
01:14:21Time to get out of the tunnel.
01:14:22I couldn't find the hole.
01:14:23All right now, sir.
01:14:24Yes, but step on it, will you?
01:14:26Wait a minute.
01:14:26My basket's still in the station.
01:14:28We'll attend to that in the morning.
01:14:29Yes, but say it disappears.
01:14:31I won't be able to open on Monday.
01:14:32That will be a break for Newquay.
01:14:35Well, we're off.
01:14:36Yes.
01:14:37What a bit of luck finding a bus, eh?
01:14:40Oh, look at Teddy.
01:14:42Shh!
01:14:43He's gone to sleep.
01:14:44Yes, I put him to sleep.
01:14:46Yeah.
01:14:47Eh?
01:14:48You mean you, eh, on the floor?
01:14:51Yes.
01:14:52And if we have any trouble from you, you're just as likely to join him.
01:14:55Don't let's have any more unpleasantness.
01:14:58No.
01:15:03Anybody got any smelling salts?
01:15:05You haven't got a drop of the...
01:15:06Of the...
01:15:07No, no.
01:15:09Come on, come to Danny.
01:15:11Oh, I wish I'd paid attention at the first aid class.
01:15:13Don't worry, he'll be all right.
01:15:15Just a moment, I want to ask you a question.
01:15:17Where exactly did you go when you left the waiting room?
01:15:20Home aid?
01:15:20Outside.
01:15:21Don't you remember when the spook special came along?
01:15:23Yes, I remember perfectly.
01:15:25But it's very curious that when you and your friend went out,
01:15:27things began to happen.
01:15:29Oh, you mean old Rock of Ages?
01:15:30It was Ben Isaacs.
01:15:32He was coming back.
01:15:33I knew he would.
01:15:35Now, Julia.
01:15:37Something back from what hit me.
01:15:38I'm afraid I did.
01:15:40I'm very sorry, but it was entirely necessary.
01:15:42What's...
01:15:42Where are we?
01:15:45Why, you...
01:15:46Now, now, now, now, now.
01:15:47Count up to ten.
01:15:48One, two, three.
01:15:49You glithering idiot, where did you get to?
01:15:51Oh, I walked into the tunnel wall.
01:15:53I blacked myself out in the knockout.
01:15:55I mean, I knocked myself out in the blackout.
01:15:58Well, I think we can say we successfully stopped your little game,
01:16:00whatever it was.
01:16:01You've successfully mucked up the whole show.
01:16:03Now there's no one to get that train when it comes back.
01:16:05Comes back?
01:16:07The ghost train never comes back.
01:16:09This one's more obliging.
01:16:11It makes the return journey.
01:16:12But if the train does come back, it'll have to cross the bridge, won't it?
01:16:16Of course.
01:16:17But if it's a ghost train, it wouldn't matter whether the bridge was open or closed, would it?
01:16:20No, but...
01:16:21Oh, well, that's all right then.
01:16:23What are you babbling about?
01:16:24Well, we'll soon see.
01:16:25I opened the bridge.
01:16:28You've done what?
01:16:29Well, somebody had closed it, so I opened it.
01:16:31Otherwise, the story wouldn't be right.
01:16:33You meddling fool!
01:16:36Nichols, stop!
01:16:40I say, what is this?
01:16:42Sit down.
01:16:42I'll do nothing of the sort.
01:16:43I rather think you will.
01:16:45Oh, what are you doing?
01:16:46You can't keep still.
01:16:48Unless you're looking for trouble.
01:16:50He's opened the bridge.
01:16:51Back to the station, flat out.
01:16:52It's too late, sir.
01:16:53We passed mortgage crossroads on our back.
01:16:55If we get across the footbridge, we can stop them on the other side.
01:16:57Yes, cut down the lane as fast as you can.
01:17:00What?
01:17:27We're not late, are we?
01:17:38The ghost train's never late.
01:17:57Can't you go any faster?
01:18:07If it goes any faster, we'll take off.
01:18:09I hope you're enjoying all this.
01:18:11If you hadn't been so anxious to show off your right hook, we wouldn't be in this mess.
01:18:14But what's happening?
01:18:15I don't understand.
01:18:16Have you ever heard of the fifth column?
01:18:17What?
01:18:18The chimp that the gun is a Nazi sympathizer.
01:18:21The more they pay him, the more he sympathizes.
01:18:23Cut that out.
01:18:24But smuggling arms is a dangerous game in wartime, so they invented the ghost train.
01:18:28The train.
01:18:29I can see it.
01:18:32It's on the last curve before the bridge.
01:18:35We'll never stop it.
01:18:36We've got to stop it.
01:18:37Turn to pull up here.
01:18:38I'm coming down the hill.
01:18:40Stop.
01:18:43Watch them.
01:18:44Come on.
01:18:48Pickles.
01:19:07Oh, by the way, you took a gun from him.
01:19:09Hand it over.
01:19:10Come on.
01:19:14Come on.
01:19:30Reach.
01:19:31It's over.
01:19:44And, of course, after Julia had fainted, I knew that Sterling was no more a doctor than I was.
01:19:51I saw him taking a pulse with his thumb.
01:19:54You did.
01:19:54You didn't know anything about it till I told you.
01:19:57Well, after all, I did open the bridge while you were lying there like a British heavyweight.
01:20:01Oh, there you are, sir.
01:20:02I think we can get you at this address for the inquest.
01:20:05Correct, Commissar.
01:20:06Thank you, sir.
01:20:07Thank you, sir.
01:20:08Thank you, sir.
01:20:09That'll be your special, sir.
01:20:10It's due any minute.
01:20:11Thank you very much.
01:20:11Do you know, I've an idea you're by no means what you make out to be.
01:20:18Confidentially, I'm not.
01:20:19You must be relieved.
01:20:21Ah, there you are.
01:20:23I'm afraid, old boy, I've been a bit of a...
01:20:26A bit of a?
01:20:26I think you've been a lot of a.
01:20:28Well, anyway, if you'll accept my apologies.
01:20:30Of course.
01:20:31And you, Gander.
01:20:33And you, Winthrop.
01:20:38Nobs.
01:20:38We've forgotten about the old bird with her old bird.
01:20:50Feel better?
01:20:51I've got a terrible headache.
01:20:53Don't tell me.
01:20:54You've got a piece of flannel where your tongue should be.
01:20:56How did you know?
01:20:57Never mind.
01:20:58The train's in now.
01:20:59You'll soon be safe in Truro.
01:21:00Good.
01:21:01I'm so glad nothing exciting has happened.
01:21:06Nothing exciting.
01:21:08I don't know.
01:21:09I don't know.
