Part 4 of 7 of the period drama from 1973. Nick and Anna are still at loggerheads after the Town Hall fracas. Nick tries to make it up with Anton by going over to his studio to give him the nude painting of Anna as a gift, only to find Rachel there. Despite his animosity towards her, when he later takes her to a cafe he admits he is attracted by her beauty and soon discovers the feeling is mutual. Anna is disturbed after she and Nick saw Jacob at a Communist rally led by Joe Kipple, but she is also unsettled by her feelings towards Nick. As she prepares her son Brian for Whit Week ceremony, little does she know of the events that are to unfold...

00:00I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
00:30If you don't keep still, well that answers that.
00:52Bless your bleeding heart.
00:55If ever I hear you swear again, I'll wash your mouth out with carbolic soap.
01:00By that bloody hell you pick it up from.
01:02What you do and what I do are two completely different things.
01:05Now, come on, let's be having you back over here again.
01:08Unless if the water works, there's enough misery me's around.
01:11Nick swears.
01:13Not recently. He hasn't spoken for days.
01:15Just bangs about a lot.
01:17Anyway, you don't want to grow up like your Uncle Nick, do you?
01:20I haven't spoken for days. What about you?
01:22I'm not talking about me.
01:23Grief, woman, you're impossible.
01:25And how would you describe your antics at the town hall?
01:27Oh, go on off to speak to Anton, just for a moment.
01:30I waited two bloody hours for you to come back.
01:32I warned you before you got into this place.
01:34It's and dirty and to me where, when and for how long you go wandering off.
01:37What I didn't realise was that taking me out didn't include bringing me back again.
01:41You left me sitting there like a piffy on a rock bung.
01:43Obviously I was in the wrong and you were in the right.
01:53There he is for the gazing upon Brian, the Raj of Bong, who never, no never, did anything wrong.
01:59Who feeds and houses you? Both of you?
02:01Ah, that was said with all the passion of a man who wishes he wasn't.
02:05You've been punctured once.
02:06The kid's been standing there half the morning.
02:08He's been standing there all day, if need be.
02:09What the hell is it anyway? Looks like a damp pink cushion.
02:11It's a sailor suit.
02:13Grief, woman. Kids haven't worn them since the Battle of Jutland.
02:15The rest of his lot are wearing them, from church.
02:18They're walking on Friday.
02:19Where to?
02:20It's the Wit Walks.
02:22Well, I thought they had them on Monday.
02:24That was the Sea of Ease and the off-licenses.
02:25The left footers walk on Friday.
02:27How much has that little lot set you back?
02:29Eight, Bob. Nine when I've got his white pincels.
02:32Jesus wept!
02:33For all mankind!
02:35It's a procession of witness.
02:37To the fact that the Catholic fathers can outshine the vicars.
02:39It's a bloody fancy dress parade.
02:42The Catholics always make the Protestants look pale.
02:44It's a tradition.
02:46Half the kid's fathers in his class are on the dole.
02:49Last supper didn't cause nine bob a head.
02:51I'm not arguing with an atheist.
02:53Jesus Christ would be an atheist if he was in Manchester during Wit Week.
02:56What the hell has that got to do with Christianity?
02:59Kids dressed up like something out of HMS pinafore.
03:01Like living in the middle of a French farce.
03:05Enter butler carrying silver tray.
03:07Shall I see who it is?
03:08You stop still, my lad.
03:09It's on the latch.
03:12Oh, it's you, you scrump.
03:14Well, I'm playing out.
03:14Not yet, he's not.
03:15Is that for Friday?
03:16It's like yours, isn't it, Mick?
03:18My mum had mine two weeks ago.
03:20Oh, well, she doesn't go to mass as often as I do.
03:22How long will you be?
03:23As long as it takes and shut up.
03:24Ginger's outside.
03:25No.
03:26Please?
03:27Oh, all right.
03:28Take that damn string off its neck.
03:47It keeps on running away.
03:49Yeah, bloody Bengal tiger'd run away from you.
03:53Get it off, I said.
03:54Right, my lad.
04:05Off with your coat of many pins.
04:06How's he doing?
04:07I wish I had.
04:08What are you painting?
04:09Mind your own business.
04:14Oh, sodden Emma.
04:15I'll be spotting for a bit.
04:17Now, see here, Master McMurphy.
04:18I want to go down to All Saints before the shop's shut for dinner.
04:21Can I trust you to look after Brian for half an hour?
04:23He'll be all right with me, missus.
04:25I'm sure it's all right to stay.
04:27If you keep out of your uncle Mick's hair.
04:30I'll be back in about half an hour.
04:39Nick, I said I would be back in about half an hour.
04:43Look, if I told you once, I told you a thousand.
04:45All right, all right, all right, all right.
04:46I just thought you might be interested.
04:48All right, Mama, Sherry.
04:51Now, just you damn well behave yourselves.
04:53Well, it'll be bonjour-so-backsides when I get there.
05:04You've got a grandma phone.
05:14This is a good one.
05:15What's it called?
05:16Happy feet.
05:17Get that damn thing off.
05:36Off, I said!
05:37Do you know what ginger likes for your best?
05:46Go and ride some roundabouts.
05:47Does he beat the Bellevue?
05:48Hundreds of times.
05:49What does he go?
05:50The scenic row in the pub.
05:51What is it for, Cat?
05:52You take the record off.
05:54Hey, you might have to open the picture with me.
06:18I don't know.
06:31I don't know.
06:41I anoint thee mayhem, and thee bedlam, and this is for the one that breaks the other
07:01one's bloody neck. Anton? Anton, you in?
07:31look when your piggy bank comes in tell him if he's really taken with this I'd
07:49like him to have it. well well well mr. Faunt makes amends upon my gracious.
07:53something wrong in knowing I made a damn fool of myself. admitting it.
07:59what the what the hell are you doing here anyway? oh Anton does allow me to run
08:06of the place. oh I thought you would have moved on by now. I mean you've plucked the
08:09chickens isn't it time you flushed out a few well-fledged woodcock? I'm sure that's
08:13a terribly well-meant insult but I'm not sure what it means. well you've taken
08:17Anton for everything he had to give. I mean money to set up the frock shop,
08:22introductions to monthly account customers. wouldn't be surprised if you got him to
08:26design your notepaper and advertisement layouts. well uh what I want to know is
08:31what the hell has Anton had out of this relationship? he's used me. no not like
08:36that. just sitting at dinner tables and smiling at endless boring men who happen
08:40to be in a position to put commissions Anton's way. if they're gonna commission
08:44Anton they'll do it with or without you. it's Anton's work that gets the
08:48commissions. you're serious aren't you? you know you'll probably glide through life
08:55thinking all you need is talent. oh and Anton's world talent's necessary but clients
09:00can't take it out to dinner and pat its bottom can they? bloody hell.
09:06I can't get the last one. you must have thrown me Mr. Faunt. does Anna help much? to help sell your work?
09:21I asked her to. hmm she was trying to sell some of your drawings at the party wasn't she?
09:27I think that cockles or muscles alive alive old style rather frighten the art buys away.
09:32I don't need Anna to sell my work. I don't want her to. you're very wise.
09:36I'm just a guardian crossword. all completed bar one.
09:41eleven across two words three and a six. the first is thee but I can't get the
09:45second. something something b something something c. towards whom did the poet have
09:51not the slightest feel of humility. somebody should devise a particularly horrendous form of
09:58torture for females and not only ice skate with professionals but also can complete the
10:03Manchester guardian crossword. if we don't include eleven across then we can... the public. sorry?
10:07I've not the slightest feel of humility towards the public. well done. the public.
10:13not the slightest feel of humility towards the public or to anything else in existence
10:17by the eternal... ah something or other. who buy? barney googly with his googly googly eyes?
10:25close. keats. I bow to your superior knowledge. crosswords aren't for people with superior knowledge.
10:30they're for people with superfluous knowledge. what is that? painting of Anna. with her soul laid bare.
10:37among other things. is she? did you paint her with or without? there's only one way to paint a woman.
10:44a woman thinks with her... with her body. look at that chocolate box daub of Anton's.
10:53it looks like me. hardly begins to. it's a bloody confection.
10:58about as much perception as a plaster head in a hat shop.
11:04i've told you i'm the only artist in the north who could paint you.
11:09voila! Anna!
11:14well? does she look like that? i mean it's not unknown for an artist to improve his subject matter.
11:22every inch to the inch. and this is where she'll go. she'll have a beam end like a dutch barge by
11:28the time she's 30. doesn't it say anything to you? i mean doesn't it say i am Anna Fitzgerald?
11:33all it says to me is here i am a painting by nick faunt.
11:41when you um when you said about being the only artist in the north who could paint me did you
11:46mean you want to paint me or were you adjusting me? i want to paint you.
11:50by canon. with nothing on. oh what you're being so damn coy about you must have posed for Anton.
11:55you don't imagine i've actually posed naked for him do you? any reason why you shouldn't?
12:00look any number of models can be hired from the art college a shilling an hour.
12:03is that what you told him? go and get somebody from the art college? bloody hell.
12:10i've got a case of the tempest fugits old girl in a frightful hurry.
12:14if i'm not on that two o'clock train from victoria. ah the entertainments committee are
12:19going to be mightily peeved. must get over to the file dear lady with these posters. if you mean
12:26blackpool say bloody blackpool the file. nick my dear chap i didn't recognize your noble profile.
12:32would you hurry up Anton? i'm doing my damnedest. he wants you to kick him. i deserve a kick out the
12:36backside. you must have been fuming since last friday. never gave it another moment's thought dear boy after
12:40you left. if friends can't have a little fraccai every now and again then what on earth are friends
12:44for? fundamentally friendship. ah you're an artist nick and as such temperamental by outlook. it takes
12:49an artist to understand an artist. you don't get temperament. oh don't you believe your own breath
12:54dear boy. i've had some right darn regular affairs in my time. in my time. this the sort of thing you
12:59could live with? this thing i did of anna? ah yes. the night you stayed here. do you know what i said
13:04when i first saw that? lummy nick that's a good'un. you've got a dash good memory dear boy. well i'd like
13:09you to have it. well i can't accept one of your best. well it's a damned insult to give somebody one of my
13:13worst. anyway i used your paint and your brushes. and uh my canvas actually. there you are. your
13:18conscience has bounced right back into position. thanks nick. thanks.
13:32hey tell you what old son you'll not half cut a dash on the golden mile. i can't afford not to in my
13:38game. the sensors will make them feel they've got the organ grinder and not one of the monkeys. you know
13:42you really do remind me of the prince of wales. eh? oh well he's much smaller than i am of course.
13:47uh or not as tall rather if you know what i mean. now i was only reading in the daily telegraph. one of
13:53those silly twits at the mayfair hotel saw him in a new suit and was heard to exclaim oh i say how
13:58adorably ghastly. you can't call this adorably ghastly. i mean that cutter of mine's a first-class
14:03fellow. i do all their layouts in the manchester evening news. now what i mean is old son i doubt if the folk on
14:08the file will take you for an old tow rag. quite. i'm sorry nick. i'm going to be a frightful host but
14:13i must catch that two o'clock chuffer. i'll kill her anybody.
14:21oh i've got less than half an hour. we were driving to nutsford this afternoon. i've been
14:25waiting ages for you. you know how it is rachel. the chairman of the entertainments committee
14:29telephoned to say that all his members would be to hand this afternoon. apparently there's a
14:34an extraordinary general meeting of the ways and means committee. it's not going to lead to the
14:38order of the garter. it's going to lead to the best order i've had this year. 60 000 double crown
14:43posters all over the country. well when you've seen one post you've seen them all i suppose. there you
14:47are old girl at the bottom. an object lesson in legibility. 60 000 signatures. and may i ask when you
14:54intend coming back? well i get the impression they'd like me to stay overnight. and if they can make a
14:59choice of poster i can get round to the printers in the morning. you're not dashing off old girl are you?
15:04when consideration for me doesn't enter into your plans then it's time to dash off. i think i'll
15:08push off too anton. oh well we're both getting in your way i think. but you do understand rachel i mean
15:15it's an awful bore really. hey now you're getting an anton broon splashed on 60 000 postage you should
15:20follow the prince of wales's lead. what on earth do you mean? well he's changed his name from battenberg to
15:24windsor. i need a name with a ring to it. my talent needs compensation. and now i've got less than 20
15:30minutes to paint blackpool tower and get it on the victoria station. oh you'll make it old son. you're
15:34one of those people who never miss trains. well au revoir again here broon. goodbye goodbye. oh and if you
15:41do decide to change it back to anthony brown remember there's great value to be had in a hyphen. yeah
15:46and for someone who's a staunch supporter of the monarchy. huh? anthony brown wins that.
15:54what now seeing as you're not going to knutsford? lunch i suppose. and what about you mr faunt? damned if
15:58i don't mind if i join you. are you sure you want to join me? as long as you start calling me mr faunt.
16:02come on. where are you going? the trouble with being a footloose and fancy free artist is where
16:09they hold your footloose to when you're fancy free. how about the french room at the midland? oh yes but i
16:14didn't say i wanted you to take me. i think you did. all right but joe lyons please i'll feel less
16:20conspicuous there. you see i try so hard to be a snob that i'd be ashamed to be seen at the midland
16:25with someone whose credentials were not evident by the cut of his clothes. bloody snob. i just said i was
16:31and damned hard work it is too. i always rather fancied that this um green corduroy suit of mine had a
16:37sort of uh de classe air about it. afraid not. you see the one thing we are revists have in common
16:42that is right isn't it a revists newly arrived. we all know the price of everything. and the value of nothing. oscar wilde.
17:04thank you
17:30thank you
17:35well uh here's a hard you do. you and me lunching together. why should that be odd? well on the uh
17:40half dozen occasions we met recently we've been at each other's throats most of the time. i thought
17:44we behaved quite well to one another at the ice palace. you went off to dance with somebody else. i
17:47asked you to wait. why didn't you? well i was watching you dance and i began to hate the bloody
17:54sight of you. for being so beautiful and for making me want to humiliate you that's why i left. i have never
18:00met anyone. like me. i make you want to humiliate me. you don't understand do you? you challenge me. it's
18:07that language superciliate air of yours. look i am sorry about the town hall business but i wasn't
18:14trying to avoid you. just anna. if she chooses to turn up at the town hall looking like a piccadilly tart
18:20then i saw no reason why i should let her ruin my evening. you ruined ours. anyway i thought the two
18:25of you were supposed to be friends. some of us change and some of us don't. yes sir.
18:29um i'll have meat and two veg and i'm not sure about her. omelette please.
18:43it's warm isn't it? yes but the first time i've got the woman and i've got the time i've got no place
18:49to go. oh i quite fancy getting out of manchester. afraid i don't run to motor cars. trams buses trains
18:56trolleys. do you like walking? never really thought about it. would you like to come for a walk with me?
19:00where to? woodhead mall. dressed like this? the difference between your indoors and my outdoors
19:07is nobody gives a damn how you dress. well um are these hiking boots suitable? well think of it as a
19:12stroll. a saunter. yes let's go for a saunter.
19:42oh i must be mad traipsing over moors like this. does it lead anywhere? nope.
19:53what do you think of it? woodhead. well i can't think of any sort of country that would suit you
19:58better. even your suit looks better. i could imagine you being in love with this. aren't you?
20:04i don't know. i've lived most of my life in cheetham hill. it's all a bit overpowering.
20:12anton and i usually go to cheshire. cheshire? cheshire is like a mannequin all tailored and
20:19permanently waved. this is real woman. unclothed and a savage looking piece and by god she's a beauty.
20:27if the day ever comes when i have to go to london this is what i'll miss. in its place i'll go for
20:35walks in the home counties and see farmyards with every straw in place and barns with roofs the color
20:43of maizey scott's hair. well-behaved little hens and pigs as clean as clean and i shall be sick to
20:52death of it. my mind will keep all this to crawl back into. well that's my speech. it's well rehearsed.
21:04i say the same thing to myself every time i'm up here.
21:10oh i could really drink a cup of tea. cup of tea? there's a place just around the corner.
21:22would you like hotels? no thank you. that'll be uh one and nine then please. thank you.
21:34thank you.

22:02two days a decent slav park and a piece holy. what was all that about? do they still talk like that
22:08round here? it's the oldest dialects in the north. part uh saxon, part danish, part bittisian. we're
22:15making for ripenden. how long do you think it'll take us? if i were there i'd take care old. this bro gone
22:20always better trip down to the side.
22:21where are we incidentally? five six miles from staley bridge miss. who aren't morning side?
22:34pardon? east. it's the morning side of the sky. and if we go straight up bro they'll be on top of
22:39woodhead moor. might they'll be going up there? we're not even gonna eat our tea last thousand.
22:44that's got a tongue on thee. that farmer's loose lye. well don't ask for any hot water because i'll make
22:48certain it's cow by the time they get to it. oh shout if they want to out else fetching.
22:58blisters. i think i've skinned my heel. in pain and never let on. you'll live. the king of the hellenes

31:29He's no slag, that starving artist of yours, Anna.
31:33Have you had a deco at this?
31:34I've been living with the damn thing for a fortnight.
31:37He's definitely got me. I mean, you can see who it is.
31:39I wish to God he'd finished the blasted thing.
31:41You cannot rush these things, Anna. Paintings are for posterity.
31:44Well, between now and then, a bit of prosperity wouldn't go amiss.
31:47I thought everything was tickety-boo.
31:49Two can starve as cheaply as one, if that's what you mean.
31:52Oh, dear God above.
31:53Can't you come up with one decent stocking without a ladder in it?
31:59Does your mum wear silk stockings?
32:00She has to wear special medicine stockings.
32:03Oh, we're not at panic stations yet, love.
32:05We've only got to get round to the church.
32:10It's that left eye that sets it off.
32:12I'll do it like this, see?
32:14Mm, beautiful.
32:16I'm nipping out for a few minutes.
32:17If you two budge an inch while I'm gone,
32:19I'll string you both up from the nearest yard arm.
32:23No.
32:24It's tempting Providence.
32:25I'll breathe easier if you come with me.
32:26Where?
32:27Somewhere I can buy a pair of stockings.
32:29Hold the fort for a few minutes, Peggy.
32:31Right, you two.
32:31Come on, come on.
32:32Let's push the boat out.
32:33Anna!
32:36Where is the boy this morning?
32:37He's as wise as me.
32:39I've not seen hair nor heard of him since yesterday.
32:41Nick?
32:52Nick?
33:08Nick?
33:09Nick?
33:09Are you in the living room, Nick?
33:25Oh, uh, Anna asked me to take the kids to St. Joseph's.
33:29Well, that's one thing you can choke up, they're Catholics.
33:33Invented the first coherent system of guilt.
33:36I don't mind.
33:36I tell with papal infallibility, they're taking the trams off at ten o'clock.
33:40Divine intervention.
33:41Manchester Corporation.
33:44Where the hell is she, anyway?
33:47She's gone to buy a new pair of stockings.
33:49And she took the kids with her.
33:52Bygum, that's coming on a treat, eh?
33:56Are you all pleased with that?
33:57I'm pleased as the day I'll pack it in.
34:00Pleased is too close to complacency for my liking.
34:05Still, I've done worse.
34:07Well, seeing as we've got the body, I may as well do a bit.
34:11Uh, put your eyes a couple of feet to my right.
34:15No, uh, your right.
34:17Oh.
34:20Like that.
34:21Yeah, fair enough.
34:22You've been keeping burglars hours, then.
34:28Out all night?
34:28That's the final word on that subject.
34:31What the hell is that wink supposed to mean?
34:32Nothing to beat a wink for covering up a multitude of sin.
34:35Shove it, piggy.
34:37Uh, any news of Mo?
34:38Yes, uh, as a matter of fact, I had a deal with him last Monday.
34:44Where the, um, when hell's he living?
34:47I have brought him in digs with a red-hot bolsheet.
34:51Oh, that explains why.
34:53We saw him last week at a communist meeting clutching the red flag.
34:55Red flag?
34:57He's bluer than the bloody Danube.
34:59It's the kid.
35:01That's what's turned him.
35:03Anna taking away the kid.
35:06He was always more Mo's than hers.
35:09Will you take him back again?
35:11I told him his job was open for him.
35:14You've nowhere to fall but off, I said, and nowhere to stand but on.
35:18Not a dicky bird.
35:20Put down his jill.
35:21Did a bunk.
35:24How are you and Anna getting on?
35:26My car's burning down.
35:28I wish I had the face and figure that fits.
35:30She's got all the bloody virtues, bar the first seven,
35:33but I wouldn't want her any different.
35:35Ah, fait accompli.
35:42Are they all right?
35:45I like your stockings too.
35:46Bar the left.
35:48We'd better get a move on.
35:49We'll be under starter's orders in ten minutes.
35:51I don't care for the look of the clouds coming over.
35:53Are you two going to be warm enough?
35:54Of course we are.
35:55It's boiling when you're used to the cold.
35:58I'll probably see you later, lad.
