02:55oh my god
03:45Welcome, everybody. I'm Phyllis Bristow, your welfare officer, who will be helping you to settle in. However, I'm afraid that first there are one or two details we need.
03:56Oh, come on, just a couple of shots.
03:58They are in no condition to hang about.
04:00Well, I do know. Right, a quick one, okay? Right, big smiles. That's great. Now, hold it. One more for luck.
04:06You heard. This way won't take long.
04:15See you in hospital. All right.
04:27Now, don't you worry. They'll be in good hands.
04:30And it's best to get the bump over early. Don't you agree?
04:32Yes, of course. We'll be with you in a minute.
04:33Yes, of course.
04:34Oh, what?
04:35This is another.
04:36That's right.
04:37They're British.
04:38No, no, they're two wives.
04:39My father's married.
04:40My mother's Chinese.
04:42They've lived in a since 34.
04:44They're next to me.
04:46Parents are dead.
04:48Brothers and sisters scattered.
04:50That's all you tell me.
04:52Now, you are?
04:54Joss Holbrook.
04:55Oh.
04:56Oh, that would be Lady Joss.
04:58Well, that'd be Joss.
05:00Quite.
05:01Well, as I said, I'm here to help.
05:03Part of Rathbone.
05:04Repatriation of Allied prisoners of war and internees.
05:08Field any problems, that kind of gubbins.
05:10Well, come along, girls. Bet you're dying for a cuppa.
05:13And finally, Lord Louie has asked me to apologize for not being here
05:22and to give you his assurances that we will do everything in our power
05:27to make your stay here as comfortable as possible.
05:30So, welcome to a Singapore once more under British protection and the British flag.
05:37Thanks.
05:38Right now, what about that cup of tea?
05:41Do I sound like the Goodwood Park reception?
05:47The Goodwood Park reception.
05:49Oh, will you please get off my line?
05:52Ah, strife.
05:58Excuse me. Sorry to interrupt.
06:00I believe you're Alice Courtney.
06:03That's right.
06:04Then I have some splendid news for you.
06:06We received a telegram from your father saying he's alive and well.
06:10Daddy.
06:11Daddy.
06:13My daddy's all right.
06:19My pleasure.
06:20He's not bombed or anything.
06:25Oh, Christina.
06:27Well, if you'll excuse me.
06:29Mmm.
06:30My very own piece of soap.
06:32Mmm.
06:34Nectar.
06:35A cup and a sauce.
06:37Now then.
06:38Anyone want one of these?
06:39I'll say.
06:40Well, not digestive.
06:42Mmm.
06:43But it's all rather overwhelming, what with one thing and another.
06:46So, if you want anything spelt out, just file away.
06:49I was wondering about my money.
06:50You're all so full of beans, huh?
06:52So do you be.
06:53Lady of food, good night's sleep, you won't know yourself.
06:56Shut up, promise.
06:58I say, I take my hat off to you older women.
07:01The way you coped.
07:02Let alone survive.
07:03And not only the older women.
07:05I myself was dying on more than one occasion.
07:08What I have suffered, no one will ever know.
07:10Oh, if you believe that, you'll believe anything.
07:12She never stopped telling people about it.
07:14How dare you make a joke of mine.
07:15Now, now, don't you, don't look at me.
07:16While I've got you both together, perhaps you'd like to know that you'll be going back to your own compatriots.
07:21And I hear your billet's the best in Singapore.
07:24Oh, but we can't.
07:26Leave our friends?
07:27Not too soon.
07:29Ah, yes.
07:30Well, I'll see what I can sort out.
07:32Now, don't go away.
07:44Yeah, but any particular detail that sort of hit you?
07:47Healthy.
07:49Everyone looks so healthy.
07:51Clean.
07:52Please.
07:53How soon can I find out about my husband?
07:55Oh, thank you.
07:58Only we were separated here in Singapore.
08:04Yeah, of course.
08:07Now, listen.
08:08Buttonhole any Rappoi officer and they'll do the necessary.
08:11Do you think so?
08:13I know so.
08:15Hey, you two, thin the bag.
08:19You can stay with your group for the time being.
08:22Fantastic.
08:23It's wonderful.
08:24Isn't it fantastic?
08:26I thought we were going to be sick.
08:29Ladies and gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen, sorry to break things up, but transport's raring to go.
08:37So if you could all come this way.
08:40Here, let me take that.
08:41I think I can manage despite my years.
08:45Come along then, girls.
08:53Well, anybody got any queries?
08:55Me, for one.
08:56Well, far away.
08:58Right.
08:59After being shoved around about my elite for bloody years, I had a nice chance to know where we were going.
09:04Yes, of course.
09:05Well, at Raffles Hotel.
09:06Raffles?
09:07Hey, Doc.
09:08We're going to Raffles.
09:09We're going to Raffles.
09:10So what?
09:11Only that all the time I was here, I never once, not once, put inside this toppy-nosed door.
09:22So, Raffles, here I come.
09:39Oh, come on, girls.
09:54Hope you're not too shaken up.
10:06Is that it?
10:09What?
10:10It's beautiful.
10:11It hasn't changed.
10:14Nonsense.
10:15Change the entrance.
10:17Why?
10:18Nothing so silly.
10:20I thought I'd see it again.
10:23Oh.
10:25Right then, let's get on in.
10:28Bet you're dying for your bed.
10:31I was thinking more of a gin sling.
10:39Well, now, if you could just wait here a sec, I'll fix you up some beds.
10:52Yes.
10:53All right.
10:54It's like a pass.
10:55Look at the ceiling.
10:56It's so high.
10:57Everything's so, so sparkly.
10:58I cannot burn.
10:59It's bloody heaven.
11:00I'm not having them hanging about, and that's flat.
11:01Oh, look.
11:02Wow.
11:03How about that hem?
11:04She's showing her knees so sick out.
11:05And shoulders.
11:06Like a pair of shelves.
11:07I feel so shabby.
11:08I feel like revenge.
11:09I just thought I'd like to have some stuff out.
11:10I have some stuff out and that's flat.
11:11Oh, look.
11:12Wow.
11:13How about that hem?
11:14She's showing her knees so sick out.
11:15And shoulders.
11:16Like a pair of shelves.
11:17I feel so shabby.
11:18I feel like revenge.
11:19I trust her little tubby to get it all snappled.
11:24Look, I'm, er, I'm frankly sorry, but I'm afraid your rooms are still being cleared
11:30after our last intake.
11:31So I can only suggest that you grab some dinner.
11:34By which time we'll...
11:35That'll be fine.
11:36Yeah.
11:37I can eat an elephant.
11:39Give a naffy Russian. You might have to.
11:41Colonel Jackson.
11:45Any number, my dear?
11:47Be an angel. Take my girls into dinner, would you?
11:49Only I'm a bit overstretched at the moment.
11:51Nothing can give me greater pleasure.
11:53Allow me, my dear.
12:07I'm sorry. I know you're very busy
12:09but it's just that
12:11my husband and I were separated here in Singapore
12:14and the uh...
12:16the journalist said that you...
12:18That we could trace him.
12:20Of course.
12:21Or rather we'll do our best.
12:23Only if you could just...
12:25No, no, on second thoughts better the day.
12:27Geoffrey, customer for you.
12:30Ah.
12:32Here we are.
12:33That's the job.
12:35Come.
12:36Boy, let's have some food.
12:37Top, top.
12:38Excuse me.
12:40Have you ever come across a little girl?
12:42An Elizabeth Harris.
12:44She'll be 12 now with dark brown curly hair and blue eyes.
12:49No, no, I'm sorry.
12:50But I do know there are many more internees to come.
12:53They all say that.
12:59I'm sorry.
13:00She was asking about her daughter.
13:02Ah, yes. Yes, I know.
13:04Oh, lovely.
13:05Thank you so gracious.
13:06Oh, it's tall.
13:07The least I can do.
13:08And look here, if there's anything you want,
13:10I mean anything tall,
13:11all you have to do is give a shout.
13:13But the stiff drink wouldn't come amiss.
13:15Ah.
13:16Over and out.
13:21Over and out.
13:22Nine.
13:23Pops.
13:24Pops.
13:25Pops.
13:26A real tablecloth.
13:27A real table.
13:28Servants.
13:29I couldn't have done with one of these.
13:32Now I know I'm under the British.
13:37Colonel.
13:39Bottoms up.
13:40Ah.
13:41A little bit.
13:43And what is this?
13:44That doing a Dutch dunderhead is your actual banger.
13:47Mm.
13:48Banger?
13:49That's right, because it'll blow you up.
13:51Oh, I say.
13:53Oh, bangers.
13:54You think they were caviar?
13:56Is everything all right?
13:57Fine.
13:58Oh, breakfast.
14:00What a nice woman that Mrs. Bristow is.
14:02A lady, if you don't mind.
14:04A lady of breeding like myself.
14:15Oh, damn.
14:16These blasted telephones.
14:22Look, you're only borrowing this office, you know.
14:24I don't want the place cluttered up.
14:26How at last?
14:27Sorry to bother you, Colonel,
14:28but we've run right out of copies of news from Britain.
14:31Could you let...
14:34I do beg your pardon.
14:36What is the point in reconnecting the telephones
14:38when it's Russian Roulette who you're onto?
14:40The place is a madhouse.
14:41And war wasn't.
14:43I see we've another camp leader, a Mrs. Marion Jefferson.
14:47Don't you dare.
14:49Woman's exhausted.
14:50Not to mention beside herself with worry.
14:53I'll try her tomorrow then.
14:56Oh.
14:57I think I'm gonna burst.
14:59Happiness.
15:00I can't remember when I'd be so happy.
15:02Yeah, we saw you iron that, Lieutenant.
15:12What do you think you're doing with that plate?
15:15Oh, Laura, I forgot.
15:17You're supposed to have it.
15:18I hope they don't think...
15:21Ah.
15:22Splendid news.
15:23I've managed to bag you some rooms close together.
15:25So off we go.
15:27Oh, you two unallowed to stay.
15:28That's official.
15:29Oh, thank you.
15:36What am I doing here?
15:45Now this will take the rest of you.
15:47So that just about does it.
15:49Ah, I'm afraid it's all rather cheap by jowl, but we've even got bods tossing down in the billiard table, would you believe?
15:56Now, what I suggest is that the more senior of you bunk up in the larger bedroom.
16:00There's a smaller one through there.
16:02Oh, and by the way, through there you've got one of the few bathrooms.
16:06So you'll be able to have a good wallow.
16:08Moschino needs too.
16:09Thank you so much.
16:11Uh, don't let us keep you.
16:14Oh, no, no, lots to do.
16:16So sleep tight and as long as you wish.
16:19Come on, Bigby.
16:20Age it through there.
16:22Yippee!
16:23This is the line!
16:24Flowers everywhere.
16:26At last our promised parcels to bricks.
16:30Buggy me first in the bath.
16:41Well, I'm jiggered.
17:06Too soft.
17:08Couldn't sleep.
17:10Oh.
17:11Now I don't want to wake up.
17:13Oi.
17:14Try this for size.
17:18Not your actual tea in bed.
17:21But it is to have servants.
17:25Wakey, wakey, Bigby.
17:28Cup a jar to celebrate your first full day of freedom.
17:33Sorry to be such a killjoy, but I wouldn't advise you to go out yet a while.
17:37At least not until you've found your feet.
17:39And then not singly.
17:41That's quite a bit of bother one way or another.
17:42What with looters and all the rest of the riffraff.
17:45Besides, if you feel up to it, there's one or two chores we really ought to get through first.
17:50Take a deep breath.
17:53Take a deep breath.
17:57And another.
18:01And again.
18:05Just once more.
18:06Oh.
18:09Right.
18:10You can get dressed now.
18:12And don't forget to report regularly to be weighed.
18:16Yes.
18:18I want you to take some of these tablets.
18:19What did I lose?
18:22Your wits, no doubt.
18:25Thanks a lot.

19:50for you bee about time she's another bossy boots oh i don't know i think she's very nice in fact
19:58we had quite a chat together oh well takes all sorts after all they were my patients for over
20:08three years what's more i've got the case notes to prove it and very comprehensive they are too

20:20right whatsoever they were my notes taken at my dictation just as they are my patients does it
20:26matter of course it matters after the risks i took to keep them safe dr mason whatever may
20:30have happened before you're in my hands now so why not let me take the reins and do all the worrying
20:36yes doctor triet i beg your pardon someone not unlike yourself now i'm sending you to the hospital
20:43for further investigations along with lady jocelyn look i've told you all i need is a stronger pair of
20:49spectacles just the address of your next of kin i'm afraid the message has to be standard hold on apart
20:58from not having clapped eyes on them for years my brothers and sisters most likely have scattered
21:03mind the woman who took them in might know the whereabouts then send it to her i only know the
21:07town not to worry just put that down we'll have it broadcast after the news we've traced thousands that
21:12way she's got them all under her thumb here i don't have any next of kin surely my husband was

22:07about my husband details went off first thing but promise
22:16how long well that i can't say but they're jolly efficient where the services are concerned
22:24that's for the civilians oh it's as if the whole world's a sewing box tipped up and shoved back
22:30anyhow and not just you lot and the refugees but millions of slave labor literally scattered to the
22:36winds god knows when we'll get them home oh do forgive me that's unpardonable burdening you with our
22:44problems it's just that we know so little of what's happened i expect life will take care of that

22:54mrs jefferson isn't it that's right not now please is it about my husband no it's something quite
23:00different what what then it'll wait just wanted details of your camp commandants names where they
23:06were etc oh yes yes of course for for their relatives no for us
23:12so
23:25so
23:31I'm not one of your nurses, I'm just a nurse, full stop, just be the opposite of work.
23:57Oh, what's that supposed to mean? You know very well. Or would you like me to spell it out?
24:02Oh, you do that. Right. Well, as you well know, one of the prime requisites in becoming a doctor is to be utterly trusted.
24:08What's wrong with you all of a sudden?
24:09Something you seem to have failed largely.
24:11What's wrong with anyone?
24:12What are you talking about?
24:14I am talking about what happened to my medical notes.
24:17What?
24:18I noticed you managed to hide them very successfully.
24:20Or why else didn't we see them while we were waiting to be examined?
24:23I was not hiding them. They were in my bag.
24:26After all, you gave me the notes to take care of. Or have you forgotten this exactly?
24:30To take care of? Which does not mean handing them over to God knows who.
24:34Oh, it was not God knows who. It was a doctor who can make good use of them.
24:38After all, they're no longer any use to us.
24:39This is not the point, and you know it. They were my notes, and it was up to me to decide what to do with them.
24:45Oh, and what about all Dr. Trier's hard work?
24:47And what about my contribution? Writing them up night after bloody night!
24:51I want to take the credit, do you? Well, you do that.
24:53You do just that.
24:55But you're not a doctor yet, you know.
24:57Oh, and what exactly is that supposed to mean?
24:59Think about it!
25:00You ready for the hospital?
25:09What was all that shouting going on?
25:11Oh, forget it, and let's get going.
25:14I'm supposed to be seeing Tom, remember?
25:16Though in this mood, I won't be much company for him!
25:18Blast!
25:30She was only trying to do her job.
25:35I haven't heard a word I was saying.
25:38What?
25:39Oh, God, give me strength.
25:42Phyllis, as in Bristow, as in welfare officer.
25:46What the hell's up with you?
25:50Nothing. I'm over the moon.
25:52Look, I know how you feel. Honest, I do.
25:56No, you don't. You don't know how I feel.
25:58Otherwise, you'd leave me alone, as in by myself.

35:46Over here, then.
35:53How do you think you've got a gin swing yourself?
35:56The least I could do of the devilish time you've had.
35:59Sir, come and sit by me.
36:03Oh really, I mean absolutely beyond belief.
36:06Winneker's been filling me in from what she's been through.
36:09Don't doubt she has.
36:10And speaking of the good lady, where is she?
36:13You may well ask.
36:14She slumped through our suite like some sort of martyr harry,
36:17barricaded herself in the bathroom and refused to come out, selfish woman.
36:21Oh, but what a charmer.
36:23Ah, sweet mystery of love, at last I've found thee.
36:32Boy!
36:33Boy!
36:34If you don't mind, we need some service here.
36:47I'm thinking what I'm thinking.
36:48The last time.
36:49New Year's Eve before the fall.
36:50Makes it sound like the Garden of Eden.
36:52Perhaps it was.
36:53Well, look at that.
36:54Hand-to-hand drinking of eye of a sword.
36:55I do think it really gets up my snuff.
36:59Forgotten men like him exist.
37:00They call me a plucky little woman.
37:01Bless him, but he's awfully exhausting.
37:02Say that again.
37:03Well, I'm dashed.
37:04Look, I think we should get the next round.
37:06I'm kinda bitch, I'm gonna be too young, my son.
37:11You're a little unfortunate, but I'm dreadful,
37:13and I'm not sure what I've been going to drink.
37:14Well, look at that.
37:15Hand-to-hand drinking of eye of a sword.
37:16I do think I'm cold.
37:17Really, but gets up my snuff.
37:20Well, I'm not.
37:22Oh, I've forgotten men like him exist.
37:23Be a plucky little woman.
37:25Bless him much.
37:26But he's awfully exhausting.
37:27Wait, say that again.
37:29Well, I'm dashed.
37:30look I think we should get the next round. the repeat order isn't it? I'll help you.
37:36can't do that. they just have. the woman's taking a round just isn't gone.
37:42besides who's dashed boy? I wonder would any of you ladies care for a dance? well this little lady is spoken for.

37:54well a hard letter. I'm sure dr. mason will be delighted to oblige. me?
38:03ah good. yes. a foxtrot I think.
38:08thank you. and could you send a repeat order to Colonel Jackson's table please?
38:25this is very wicked of us. and I don't care.
38:44I needed that. I don't think the barman approved somehow. a bit out of court watching.
38:50haven't you heard? pieces broken out too. helps does it?
38:57stealing.
39:00yes it does.
39:03besides old habits die hard.
39:05don't they just? I wasn't on look out all those years for nothing.
39:13yes of course I was forgetting.
39:16well no objections then? as Maggie said. it's none of my business.
39:20but why?
39:23something I've chosen instead of just a handout.
39:26you've got a whole bungalow. that's yours?
39:29not really.
39:31Dennis chose it before we came out. not that I minded.
39:36you're so passive.
39:39I'd mind now.
39:40we chose ours together.
39:42our house.
39:43I've had the piano shipped out all the way from my parents.
39:52we used to dance to this.
39:53oh well.
