00:00Do what happened to you, whatever happened to me, and what became of the people we used to be.
00:16Tomorrow's almost over, the day went by so fast, it's the only thing to look forward to, the past.
00:30Oh! Oh, God, I'm nutted! I've got a splinter in me hand.
00:51Oh, you, what about my bad back?
00:53What bad back?
00:54I've always had a bad back, you know that. I've always suffered from a spinal weakness.
01:00I've always been warned against moving things, in fact. Lifting heavy objects.
01:04Well, surely lifting tea chests will be good for the spine, so I'll strengthen it, therapy-like.
01:09Only under medical supervision.
01:11Well, I'm very sorry, but Dr Clark had more important things to do than supervise you and me, umping tea chests.
01:17I might be doing the wrong thing. Making the wrong movements. Could be fatal.
01:22Oh, it hasn't done any cartilage any good, either.
01:26I wish you'd make up your mind about your body.
01:28What do you mean?
01:29I wish you'd decide whether you're superbly fit or a crippled wreck.
01:33I just wish you'd decide whether you're Mr Universe or a walking miracle.
01:37I don't think I quite follow.
01:41Just because I sustained some rather serious injuries during my time of service in the Queen's Army, I don't think I follow you.
01:48You're always on about your athletic prowess, about your pole vaulting and your commando karate course.
01:54As soon as it's a job of work to be done, you become a shadow of your former self, only kept alive by advanced medical techniques.
02:00There's gratitude for you. There's the thanks for getting your job done at the risk of permanent injury to my spine.
02:07If it isn't your spine, it's your leg. If it isn't your leg, it's your cartilage.
02:11If it isn't your cartilage, it's another attack of the dreaded Burmese malaria.
02:16Amazing how friends turn on you.
02:19It was the thought of coming home to real friends that kept me going in the forces.
02:23Man, it's the time I've lain awake at night, in the hot, tropic night,
02:27alone with my memories, and my hand clasped around my aerosol can of anti-mosquito spray.
02:34What tropics? You were never east of Cyprus.
02:38Officially.
02:39Oh, come on, officially. You've got to stop all this military fantasy of yours.
02:44You were a lance corporal in the Remy.
02:46If anyone overheard you talk, they'd think you're a cross between Lawrence of Arabia and Biggles.
02:52Biggles was in the Air Force.
02:54Weren't you? Surely the government didn't confine you to one branch of the services?
02:59Didn't you fly Phantoms for a while, after that spell you had in submarines?
03:03I've done my bit, played my part, and got a war wound to show for it.
03:08Which war was this? You were stationed in Germany, but they made the peace there in 1945.
03:14You must have read about it. It was in all the papers.
03:16I noticed we didn't have all this withering sarcasm before I helped you dump these tea chests over here.
03:23Oh, no, then it was, please, Terry, or would you mind, Terry, or do you think you could see you way clear, Terry, old friend, old pal?
03:30I'm doing all this as a favour, you know.
03:32No, you're not. You're doing it for free beer.
03:34Right, and you'll be surprised how much I can drink when I'm annoyed.
03:38Let's have a cup of tea, shall we? I'm part.
03:40No, I'll do it. I'll put the kettle on. Have you got any milk?
03:42Yes, in the fridge.
03:43And don't think this tea is going to take the edge off my thirst, either.
03:49E.
03:49E.
03:58E.
03:59Jesus wants me for a sunbeam.
04:10Dib, dib, dib.
04:13Boo!
04:13Oh, hello, Thelma. I didn't expect you.
04:16I know. Deborah's giving me a lift to work, so I brought the tea service.
04:19It's in the hall, so be careful.
04:21How are you getting on?
04:22We've made a start. We've made a start.
04:24Do you want a cup of tea? Terry's in the kitchen.
04:26Oh, no, I haven't got time. What's this?
04:28Oh, er, just some stuff.
04:30Oh, where are the new lamps?
04:31In the dining table and the laundry basket.
04:34Well, where's anything?
04:35Well, I haven't got round to those things yet.
04:38Well, you've got around to all this.
04:40What is it?
04:40My...
04:41They're just personal effects.
04:46All this is personal effects?
04:48You think we're hoarding all this in our new home?
04:51Well, they're my favourite things, Thelma.
04:53That's my past in these two tea chests.
04:55Well, I don't want your past coming over our front step.
04:58A lot of your past isn't fit for indoors.
05:02They're all souvenirs.
05:03They're all dusty old books and broken toys by the look of it.
05:07Now, be reasonable, Bob, we just haven't got the cupboard space.
05:09Well, I'm not sweeping my heritage into a dustbin like litter.
05:13But these things are meaningless now, Bob.
05:16I mean, we haven't got a spare room or an attic, you know.
05:19I mean, we'd have to place these in the house.
05:22Do you want visitors to see all these things?
05:25Do you want our friends to see that our new shelf units are covered in Rupert annuals?
05:29And the bumper adventure book for boys?
05:33And where are we going to put nudes of 1959?
05:36The guest room?
05:38Well, I'll make room.
05:39I'll make room somewhere in the garage where I'll build a garden shed.
05:43But you've got no use for these things.
05:46When was the last time you needed the 1956 picture-goer annual?
05:511956.
05:52And when do you anticipate looking at it again?
05:54Well, I might need it.
05:55I might need it for reference.
05:56What sort of reference?
05:57Well, just supposing we were sat in one night and you said to me,
06:00hey, do you remember that circus picture with Sophie Loren?
06:03And I'd point out to you that it wasn't Sophie Loren that it was Gina Lollobrigida.
06:08And the film was called Trapeze, also starring Burt Lancaster, Tony Curtis and I think Gloria Graham.
06:12Hmm.
06:13So we fill up our lovely home with useless remnants of your past.
06:17Clutter it with all this junk so that once every few years you can win some pointless argument about Gina Lollobrigida.
06:23Oh.
06:26Are you keeping this for reference?
06:31And look, what about these?
06:33Oh, it'd be a shame to throw those out.
06:35One day you might want to know what sort of cars people used to drive.
06:38No, I won't.
06:40Well, our children might.
06:43We won't have any children.
06:45We won't be able to because we won't have a nursery.
06:48We won't have a nursery because you'll have turned that room into a museum to the 1950s.
06:52Riley.
06:53People don't make Rileys anymore.
06:55I don't want my house a museum.
06:57I want nice pieces round me, not exhibits.
07:00I want ornaments, not mementos.
07:03Oh, stop playing with your right.
07:06Please, Bob, take them all away.
07:08Where to?
07:09Well, take them back to your mother.
07:11She doesn't want them.
07:12My mother doesn't want them.
07:13She's going to let my room to a student from Zambia.
07:16And he doesn't want them.
07:17Well, try the dustman or the children's hospital.
07:20Look, I must go. I'm late already.
07:22Bye.
07:23And please, pet, all gone when I get back.
07:29And don't give nudes of 1959 to the children's hospital.
07:36Coast clear, is it?
07:37Aye.
07:38Oh, Gloria Graham wasn't in trapeze.
07:41Gloria Graham?
07:42It was the greatest show on earth.
07:44I thought Gloria Graham worked on the hardware counter at Woolworths.
07:48That was Gloria Gaydon.
07:50Aye, I wonder what happened to her.
07:51I've got a picture of her in here somewhere.
07:53I've got a picture in here of just about everyone we ever knew.
07:57Oh, I deserve this, though, but...
08:01How, er...
08:02How are you feeling, mate?
08:04Better for this.
08:05How's the back?
08:07Oh, it's not so bad, thanks.
08:08Considering.
08:10And, er, the leg, er, not too much pain?
08:14No, no, it'll be all right if I keep it up.
08:16Why?
08:17Well, I was just wondering, I was just wondering, like,
08:19if you might do me a favour,
08:21old friend, old pal.
08:22I was just wondering, like,
08:26what do you think he would do?
08:27What do you think he would do with it?
08:29It's not there.
08:30What's the back?
08:31Well, in this case,
08:31I'm just going to leave.
08:33I will find him.
08:34I will find him.
08:35What's the back?
08:36That's not there.
08:36You're falling for him.
08:37Oh, look.
08:40You're falling for him.
08:43Come on.
08:44Oh, just there. Lower. Lower down. Lower down.
08:55That's it. Oh, oh, my God.
08:58Oh, tomorrow I'm going to have to see somebody about myself.
09:01You're in for a busy day, then, aren't you?
09:03What, for the osteopath and the physiotherapist
09:06and the hospital for tropical diseases?
09:08And then, one at your start, and you'll need the casualty ward.
09:11Oh, steady, man, steady.
09:13Oh, you haven't got the knack.
09:14Well, I'm inhibited, aren't I?
09:16What if my mother came in and caught you with your pants down?
09:19Your mother doesn't care what goes on in this house
09:21as long as people wipe their feet first.
09:23Oh, that's enough, man, that's enough.
09:26Well, does it feel any better?
09:27Oh, oh, a little, a little.
09:29You never know.
09:31My hands might have hidden natural healing powers.
09:35Oh, I had trouble with my back when I was in Germany.
09:40I went to this health clinic near Möncheng.
09:43The girls there had the knack.
09:45Is that what they call them out there?
09:47Health clinics?
09:48It was a proper, respectable place
09:50with a Turkish bath and a receptionist
09:52and a white coat and everything.
09:54And there was this girl there, first time I went.
09:58And it was obvious, you know, that she fancied me.
09:59Well, no, no, no, it was more than that, more than that.
10:02She was fond of me.
10:04She only charged me half price.
10:05Well, surely that was because there's so little of you to massage.
10:11What there was was firm, supple muscle, mate,
10:14which made a welcome change from her
10:15from all those flabby krauts reeking her garlic.
10:18I mean, that's what her clients were.
10:20Great fat businessmen from advertising agencies
10:23staggering in from their drunken lunches,
10:26puffing their long cigars.
10:27And then one day
10:29there was me.
10:33A young soldier in a strange land.
10:35She smiled
10:36and I smiled back
10:37and I knew.
10:40I could tell what she was thinking.
10:42She was thinking,
10:42oh, good, I'll be home early tonight.
10:45She was thinking what a nice change it would be
10:47to stick her thumbs into something young.
10:49Anyway, I started to see more and more of her.
10:54And presumably she's seen everything there was at you.
10:58Surprising that things developed.
11:01Things I've never felt before.
11:03Like biceps?
11:05I'm trying to tell you something serious.
11:08I'm trying to tell you how I met my wife.
11:12Your wife?
11:13You two?
11:15Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't realise.
11:16I thought this was another of your military fantasies.
11:21You never told me she was a masseur.
11:24Masseurs.
11:26I meant that.
11:26I'm sorry.
11:27Good and all.
11:28She had a diploma.
11:30Must have been a strange courtship.
11:34I suppose it was.
11:35Only seeing her twice a week
11:36with a towel wrapped round me waist.
11:39It was two months before I got up the nerve
11:41to ask her out.
11:42Of course, they're not supposed to see
11:42their clients socially, you see.
11:44It's a funny thing.
11:47What?
11:48Our first date, we arranged to meet
11:50outside a cinema in the city centre.
11:53She walked straight past me.
11:56She'd never seen me with my clothes on before.
11:58You don't...
12:04You don't often talk about her?
12:07Not often, no, no.
12:09Hardly ever mention her?
12:11I know, I know.
12:12It's...
12:13Well, it's just the...
12:14times like this, I think of her.
12:18Times like what?
12:20When me back's bloody killing me.
12:21Now, you relax, kid.
12:24You relax.
12:25I'll unpack this lot.
12:27Unpack?
12:27I thought you had to get rid of it all.
12:29I will, I will.
12:30I'll just unpack it
12:31and I'll store it somewhere
12:32until I decide where to put it.
12:33No, you won't.
12:34I know you.
12:35You're a hoarder.
12:35You can't chuck anything away.
12:37Even this ravaged old thing's still here.
12:40Mind his ear.
12:41His ear's the only thing left to hold on to.
12:44What possible use
12:45is a bald, blind teddy bear
12:48with one arm and no squeak?
12:50No use at all.
12:51That's not the point.
12:53I bet when you emptied that cupboard
12:54it was the first time
12:55you'd seen him in ten years.
12:56I haven't seen my great auntie Elsie
12:58for ten years
12:58but that's no need to dump her
12:59on the corporation tip.
13:03Hey, do you remember my guinea pig?
13:07Gregory.
13:08Has he escaped?
13:11No, you fool.
13:12He probably died ten years ago.
13:14Well, I bet you've kept his ashes
13:15in a cufflink box.
13:17Do you remember how we used to race them?
13:18We used to race them.
13:19Mine against yours.
13:21Never really got going, did they?
13:22I don't think they're natural athletes, guinea pigs.
13:25Hey, look at this!
13:29Panzer Division.
13:30Rommel's lot.
13:31My Uncle Arthur took this
13:32off a dead soldier at Alamein.
13:34Well, knowing your Uncle Arthur
13:35it certainly wouldn't have been a live one.
13:38Hey, do you see this rabbit?
13:40Do you see this rabbit?
13:42That is no ordinary rabbit.
13:44True.
13:45That is a luminous rabbit.
13:47Luminous?
13:48Yeah, it glows in the dark.
13:49It doesn't look luminous to me.
13:51Right, I'll prove it to you.
13:52Get up, get up, come on.
13:53Do you see?
13:59It's not very bright, though, is it?
14:01It's bright enough to read a mucky book by
14:03when I was a kid.
14:04Oh, God, it's a wonder you didn't go blind.
14:08Look at all this...
14:09Hey, hey, that's O'Reilly, isn't it?
14:11Yes.
14:13Look at all these records.
14:15Blimey.
14:15Bo Diddley.
14:19Fats Waller.
14:20Hey, hey.
14:21Buddy Holly.
14:23I had every Buddy's Holly single ever made.
14:25Oh, and we didn't call them singles in them days, did we?
14:29Do you remember...
14:30Do you remember when we had a skiffle group?
14:31How could I forget?
14:32You on washboard.
14:33Doubling gazoo.
14:34Big John Gibson on banjo.
14:36Fats Gibson, we called him then.
14:38Morris Memphis Hardacre on drums.
14:40Well, drum.
14:41And me on tea chest.
14:43That was the tea chest.
14:46Never.
14:48Eee.
14:49Dum-dum-dum-dee-dum-dee-dum-dee-dum-dee-dum-dee-dum.
14:52I was the leader.
14:53I could never understand why,
14:55as soon as how you've always been tone deaf.
14:57I was the leader because it was my garden shed
15:00we used to practice in.
15:01Yeah.
15:02Whatever happened to Rob Ferris and the Wildcat?
15:05You see how hard it is to throw away these golden oldies.
15:08Oh, I know, man, I know.
15:09I understand.
15:10I mean, I've got some things that I would never throw away.
15:12Things that are precious to me, you know.
15:14Now, I've got a piece of lava from Vesuvius.
15:17Must be worth a fortune.
15:19I've had it years.
15:21Is this it?
15:22Yes, it is.
15:23How did you get that?
15:24That's my lava!
15:25Well, they can't have been all that precious to you then
15:27because you swapped it, me.
15:28You swapped it for a copy of Health and Beauty
15:30and a packet of licorice also.
15:32Well, I want that back.
15:33Come on, it's mine.
15:34Hey, don't erupt.
15:35No need to blow your top.
15:37You get it?
15:38Lava, volcano, blow your top.
15:40Ah-ha-ha.
15:42Oh, all right, then keep it.
15:44Keep your lava.
15:45And I'll keep my Henry.
15:46Well, it's valuable, sentimentally.
15:52Well, so's this lot.
15:54Throwing this lot out would be like losing a limb.
15:56Of course it would.
15:57If only Thelma understood.
15:59Well, she should.
16:00Thelma's wrong and you are right.
16:02What you've got here is a tribute to your past.
16:05These are the sort of things that money can't buy.
16:07You can't put a price on a lump of lava or a ruined brewing.
16:11Absolutely.
16:13Henry stays and so does everything else.
16:15Quite right.
16:16Can't stay here, of course.
16:18Not with the new lodger.
16:19They shouldn't stay here.
16:20They should stay with you and your new home.
16:22And you tell Thelma that.
16:23It's your home as well as hers.
16:25And where you go, they go.
16:26Oh, I knew you'd understand.
16:28Old friend, old pal.
16:30Oh, God, what have I said?
16:32Oh, I didn't need these.
17:01Oh, that short call, was it?
17:03To the point.
17:04What did you say?
17:05I said that I was not prepared to give up my heritage.
17:08That it's my home as well as her home.
17:09And where those things go, I go.
17:11Well put.
17:12What did she say?
17:13She gave me one of her ominous silences.
17:16So what did you do?
17:17I gave her one of my ominous silences.
17:20Pretty pointless phone call, really, then, wasn't it?
17:22It made its point.
17:24Then the pips went.
17:24That's the best thing.
17:25Cheers.
17:26Cheers.
17:26After this, we'll move the dining room table.
17:28Oh, give us a chance, man.
17:30Is the back still bad?
17:32I can't even bend it.
17:34I was going to have a game of darts,
17:35and I couldn't raise my eyes up to see Double Top.
17:37You don't seem to have any trouble raising up that pint.
17:39I've earned this pint.
17:41You don't...
17:42You don't think that I'm being unreasonable, do you?
17:45I'm not dumping all that stuff back again.
17:47Because I don't.
17:48I don't think I'm being unreasonable.
17:50It'd be dangerous.
17:50If anything, I think she's being unreasonable.
17:53Strain.
17:54On the other hand, we haven't got the cupboard space.
17:57Slip a disc.
17:58And it is our new house.
18:00I've been back for months.
18:03I am, you know.
18:04I am being unreasonable.
18:06Encased in plaster from head to foot.
18:09Do you think so?
18:11Do you think I'm being unreasonable?
18:12What?
18:13Unreasonable about what?
18:15We're asking you to help me hump those tea chests back again.
18:34Terry?
18:35Terry?
18:36We've all gone.
18:38I've been robbed.
18:40One luminous what, sir?
18:41Unreasonable about what you're doing.
18:44Bunny.
18:47Rabbit.
18:51What function might that usefully perform, sir?
18:54Just out of academic interest.
18:56Well, it glows in the dark.
18:59So you can read things under the bedclothes.
19:05One rabbit.
19:09Luminous.
19:10There's a guinea pig cage.
19:14No guinea pig, just the cage.
19:19One cage.
19:21Guinea pig.
19:25Uninhabited.
19:27Is there anything I've forgotten?
19:29Does it matter?
19:30Three sheets of furoscop should be enough to be going on with.
19:32We'll get this list circulated.
19:36Good job you had that lava in your pocket.
19:39Lava?
19:40Yes, from a volcano.
19:43Vesuvius was in me pocket.
19:45Yes, that was fortunate, wasn't it?
19:49Can you tell me what the chances are?
19:51I mean, some of those things are very precious to me.
19:52I can see that, certainly.
19:55Can you give me any idea?
19:56For some time, we've suspected that robberies in this area were being masterminded by Mr. Big.
20:05This only confirms our suspicions.
20:08Or it might be a heavy mob up from the smoke.
20:10We'll keep you informed, sir.
20:21C.I.D.?
20:23Charlie?
20:25Charlie?
20:28Listen, you're not going to believe this.
20:34Thelma.
20:34I brought these things round myself, as you obviously weren't going to.
20:38You were too busy running your souvenir shuttle service.
20:41Well, thank God you didn't come early.
20:42You might have disturbed them.
20:44They might have beaten you up or tied you up or...
20:46Or worse.
20:48Oh, who might?
20:49The thieves, darling.
20:50Villains.
20:51We've been robbed.
20:52Robbed?
20:53Well, at least I have.
20:54They've taken my tea chests.
20:55It was the Reverend Newman.
20:57What?
20:58And that curative is with the red hair in the bicycle clips.
21:03The Reverend Newman?
21:04Just think what he's been doing with the collection plates all this time.
21:08Why, do you think thieves would leave the cooker, the fridge and my print of Bernard Buffett's clown
21:13and take two chest loads of miscellaneous rubbish?
21:16Why?
21:17Why the clergy?
21:19Because I rang him up and said,
21:21do you want some stuff for your jumble sale for the war on want?
21:24Jumble sale?
21:25What sort of people are going to end up with my things?
21:28They'll be all right.
21:28They are parishioners, good Christian homes.
21:30Not necessarily.
21:32There's a very dodgy lot on that jumble sale circuit.
21:36Thelma, how could you?
21:38Where are you going?
21:39I thought I'd make a tactful withdrawal.
21:40I'll put the kettle on.
21:43I said, Thelma, how could you?
21:46You made me very cross ringing up like that and giving me an ultimatum.
21:49Well, just for the record, I came round here to take those things back again for your sake.
21:53I decided I was being selfish.
21:56Had you?
21:56Yes, I had.
21:57I decided to burn them.
21:59Or bury them.
22:01Or drown them in the canal.
22:02Even though they were my most treasured, precious possessions.
22:06Oh, you make me feel awful.
22:09I've been the selfish one.
22:10No, no, no.
22:11You were right.
22:12And I was wrong.
22:13We haven't got the cupboard space.
22:14Oh, we could find it, Pet.
22:15Or you could build a shed in the garden.
22:17Or we can stuff them in the airing cupboard.
22:19Anything.
22:20No.
22:20Don't argue, Pet.
22:21Really.
22:22Listen.
22:24When we've got a kiddie, you love playing with your old dinky toys.
22:28Or finding out that Gloria Graham was in trapeze.
22:32Oh, she wasn't, actually.
22:33I was wrong.
22:35Well, there you are.
22:36That proves that we need good reference books.
22:38Look, go and get them back.
22:39They won't have sold them yet.
22:42Pets.
22:43Are you sure?
22:43I'm positive.
22:47Oh, I see.
22:48Love and peace is the message now, is it?
22:50Terry, love, I'm sorry about today.
22:52I do hope I didn't put you back up.
22:54Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
22:56Out, but not up.
22:58You are kind.
23:00I know you won't mind helping Bobby bring those things back one more time.
23:11Thank you once again for your generosity.
23:13Oh, my privilege, Vicar.
23:14Good cause.
23:15Least one could do.
23:17Five quits.
23:18Five bloody quits.
23:19Five bloody quits.
23:26You say the stuff was contained in two tea chests.
23:30We'll apprehend over and out.
23:32How pretty subtle, are they?
23:34Subtle as an air raid.
23:43All right, lads.
23:45No fuss, eh?
23:46No sweat.
23:48Fair comp.
23:52Pardon?
23:53All falls into place now.
23:57Insurance swindle, wasn't it?
24:02You two and your collaborators from the clergy were out to do Lloyd's for our famillion.
24:07We're very sorry, Inspector.
24:11Don't butter me up, lad.
24:12Sir, I'm very s-
24:14Well, we're both very sorry for-
24:16Lads.
24:18Please.
24:18When you're as overworked as we are, when you've got too few policemen chasing too many
24:26villains, and too few beep bobbies chasing too many parking offenders, and when you've
24:32got to cope with students, and demos, and break-ins, and break-outs, and lost cats, and flashes, and
24:39fairies, and false alarms, and allegations of police brutality, it makes a welcome change
24:48to be frigged about by idiots' lives.
24:53Out.
24:57Hey!
24:59What about that lot?
25:02You didn't have to.
25:10I did.
25:11I did it for my marriage.
25:14She said you could keep them.
25:16Oh, it's just a guilt.
25:18Things will be different in a couple of weeks when she wants cupboard space for all her wedding
25:21presents.
25:22There would have always been a bone of contention between us.
25:27This is the best way.
25:28Well, don't take it so hard.
25:30It's all right.
25:32After all, what are they?
25:36It's a load of rubbish.
25:37How do you feel, mates?
25:55Pretty terrible.
25:57But don't you worry.
25:58Down both shoulders and down the backs of both legs.
26:09Still, it'll be worse tomorrow.
26:15I'm to blame.
26:16It's my fault.
26:17Oh, no, don't you worry if you can't slip a disc for a friend.
26:20Poor old Henry doesn't look too clever, does he?
26:25Travel sickness, I expect.
26:30Why is he bald?
26:32Don't you remember?
26:34We used to play hairdressers.
26:35Is that how we lost his ear and all?
26:39No, he lost that the same time as he lost his arm.
26:43We put him through me mother's mangle.
26:44What a terrible thing to do.
26:48Well, we were interrogating him at the time.
26:53Did he talk?
26:54I mean, squeak?
26:56No, nor ever since.
26:57I see.
26:58It's guilt makes you keep Henry, not sentiment.
27:01Oh, shut up with you, man.
27:02I've had enough of sentiment for one day, thank you very much.
27:06What's all this stuff?
27:07It's not one of ours.
27:09Must be stuff that Thelma's brought round.
27:14Hockey stick.
27:15She doesn't still play hockey, does she?
27:18Not for ten years.
27:21Kaleidoscope.
27:22One panda, black and white.
27:24Squeak intact.
27:26One neckerchief, navy blue.
27:27Girl guides.
27:28One record, LP.
27:31The world of Billy Fury.
27:33One book, five on Kirin Island.
27:36Another book, Little Women.
27:37Paperweight, Eiffel Tower.
27:40One doll, gingham knickers.
27:44One music box, no music.
27:47Another paperweight, snow scene.
27:49One pair of Y-fronts, male.
27:53Male Y-fronts?
27:55Probably Billy Fury's.
27:57Well, she's got to know.
27:58Now, what do you want bringing all this junk round here for?
28:00Where have we got the cupboard space for this lot of junk, eh?
28:03What does she want with a broken music box and a pet panda?
28:05Well, she's gone too far this time, Bob.
28:07You went out of your way to be reasonable, and now she is being totally unreasonable.
28:11I have been reasonable.
28:12To say the least, it's a typical selfish female attitude.
28:16She has been most unreasonable.
28:17Well, I know what I'd do.
28:18If I was you, I'd take it back all of it.
28:20I'd pack it all up and dump it on our doorstep.
28:22Would you, mate?
28:23No question.
28:23It's a matter of principle.
28:25Dump it on that doorstep.
28:28Thanks, Terry.
28:29All right.
28:29Oh, what happened to you, whatever happened to me?
28:37What became of the people we used to be?
28:44Oh, what happened to you, whatever happened to me, what became of the people we used to be?
28:58Oh, what happened to you, whatever happened to me, what became of the people we used to be?
29:14What became of the people we used to be?
