00:01Final night of her tour.
00:03And, Jo, it's sold out. Why would you get my hopes up like that?
00:06Just read this.
00:09And, uh...
00:11Local girl made good.
00:13Okay.
00:14When?
00:15Uh...
00:17Lily Grayling, of Mallory Tower's fame,
00:20immigrated to California as a child.
00:22And used her father's name, Vernon,
00:25when she became an actress.
00:27No, no, no, Jo. Lily Vernon and Miss Grayling are not related.
00:31Sure.
00:32I found the family tree.
00:41Look.
00:45Lily Vernon and Miss Grayling are cousins.
00:48Do you know what this means?
00:52Miss Grayling might be able to get tickets for the show.
00:55No, Jo, I am going to meet my heroine.
00:57Meet my heroine.
01:20But Lily Vernon is your cousin, isn't she?
01:22She is, yes.
01:23Well, I'm sure that she would be happy to give you a ticket as a favour.
01:27She's been on tour, and it's her final performance today.
01:30It's not that simple, I'm afraid.
01:32Her family moved to America 30 years ago.
01:35We've never even met.
01:37Well, I'm sure that she would be thrilled to be reunited with her long-lost relative.
01:41I appreciate your enthusiasm, Gwendolyn,
01:43but I'm sure if my cousin had wanted to make contact, she would have done so already.
01:48Well, now...
01:49She...
01:50That is the end of the matter.
01:51Yuck.
01:52I don't like carrots either.
01:53It's horrid, and it never ends.
01:54Carrots for breakfast, for lunch...
01:55And two portions for dinner.
01:56I actually quite like carrots.
01:57Oh!
01:58What do you?
01:59It's a bit much, really.
02:00I can't face eating it.
02:01Well, you better finish what's on your plate with the matron sleeves.
02:04Why?
02:05It's the rules.
02:06But, that doesn't make sense.
02:07I won't, and not even matron can make me.
02:12I wouldn't dream of making you do anything you don't want to, Nancy Thomas.
02:15However, the others might.
02:17As none of you will be leaving this hall until your plates are finished.
02:25Well, that's not funny.
02:27You don't need to come back in a way.
02:28There's a Words of Sheets with Dejawn and Duffy.
02:32your plates are finished well that's not fair it's not their fault we don't like carrots eating
02:37what you are given is what is expected of mallory tower's girls you should know that susan
02:47good i'm glad we understand each other
02:54matron says we must keep our place there stop carrots from getting on our plates
03:00stop carrots from getting on our plates
03:06imagine being related to a famous movie star but they're not wanting to make contact you said they
03:11never met maybe miss grayling's just shy or she's embarrassed she doesn't want to look frumpy in
03:17comparison gwen things you say well i'm just frustrated my personal heroine is a short bus
03:24ride away and i am not going to be able to meet her you could still go no joe there's no point
03:29without a ticket i once wanted julie garland's autograph so daddy took me to wait at the stage
03:35door eventually she came out and it was just amazing joe that is utterly brilliant that's exactly
03:44what i'll do could you bring her to mallory towers that way i can meet her too i could even bring her
03:52to mallory towers just imagine how green the others would be if i returned with lily vernon on
03:58my arm go
04:04nancy what is your plan you see did you get the cut of all yes are you sure you want to do this
04:10you want to eat carrots for lunch no or ever again then let's do some gardening we must be quick
04:26here thank you
04:29so it looks like rabbits ate them
04:37no carrots here no carrots on our plates
04:49oh dear me i didn't know so many people read the local paper so it's true then lily vernon really is
05:03your cousin yes when and i checked your family tree miss grayling gwen is ever so excited it's her dream for
05:12miss vernon to come to mallory towers oh could it could it possibly happen

05:29be coming to mallory towers
05:31oh but uh come on let's have a tea because you have a tea come on you see her father had a dreadful
05:44falling out with the rest of the family my father and hers never spoke again don't it's rather a
05:50sensitive issue
05:51oh my gosh gwen's gone to ask miss vernon to come to mallory towers and miss greening said not to
06:03she'll be in such strife it's all my idea i have to warn her have you got bananas you'll be in such
06:11trouble not as much trouble as i'll be with gwen if i don't warn her in time cover for me joe

12:05out with what is that it's tonight's dinner menu rabbit stew matron said the catchers did a superb job
12:14those pesky vegetable thieves are now waiting in a hutch no doubt reflecting
12:19on their very poor decision making in attacking fred's garden and our valuable supplies

13:35search party we've called the theater but they haven't seen her

13:41i had no idea that she was going to follow me to go and i know you went to see lily vernon
13:46what
13:48gwendolen i expressly did not give you my permission
13:51to be fair miss grading you didn't exactly forbid me from going to see miss
13:56is that joe
13:58my father spoke of mallory towers oh but it's grander than i ever could have imagined
14:12oh
14:14oh you must excuse the mess an actor's life is often chaotic
14:20why are there quotes and pillows oh it's just some props my dear
14:29josephine thank goodness
14:31and you must be cousin lily
14:38which must make you cousin elizabeth
14:41it's so nice to finally meet you despite the circumstances what fates impose that
14:52men must needs abide it boots not to resist both wind and tide
15:00that's shakespeare henry the sixth what now remains my lords for us to do
15:07but march to london with our soldiers
15:14well thank you for returning joe safely to us oh please it's no problem at all
15:20it's not the first time a fan has gone to extraordinary lengths to see me
15:24although most aren't as sweet as little josephine here
15:28well come to my office we'll have some tea thank you hello gwen
15:44so this is the famous mallory towers
15:49it never occurred to me that i was so close to father's ancestral home
15:53your father lived here when he was young i never saw it unfortunately they put us all on a boat to
16:01america and well never looked back why is it that your father wanted to leave england so badly
16:11they say america is the land of opportunity quite
16:17still it all worked out for the best although i never got to meet you elizabeth my only living
16:28relative i have often wondered about you and i you cousin
16:36well now i'm here i'd be happy to address the pupils oh a most generous offer well how could i refuse
16:44after your personal invitation i'm sorry personal invitation
16:53yes that's what gwen said
16:58it just slipped out i'm sorry you didn't send her to ask me to come and give a talk
17:06there appears to be some confusion well it was just when you said that you'd never seen
17:12mallory towers i simply thought that you must come i'm sorry this is rather mortifying please accept
17:21my apologies i'm sure gwendolyn did not intend to mislead you no no i must have got the wrong end of
17:28the stick please pay it no mind
17:36girls if you wouldn't mind giving miss vernon and me some privacy
17:40that'll be all gwendolyn
17:52go on one for your lives why aren't i escaping
18:15what we've been thanked we've been caught red-handed
18:30do you both take me for a fool do you think i was born yesterday no matron where are my carrots
18:40i know you're upset about what happens with miss grayling but you've got to listen to me
18:55it's miss vernon i think she might be in some kind of trouble what do you mean joe
19:00well she speaks ever so grandly of herself but her car it's so messy and it's filled with clothes and
19:10toiletries so what it's just messiness it's a sign of creativity there are even blankets and pillows
19:16and she says they're just props but i'm sure she's fibbing and well there's this sadness about her
19:30well i suppose she did seem rather melancholy at times
19:36actually she she gave me a note from miss grayling
19:41joe we need to talk to miss grayling
19:46that's a small mercy all of fred's hard work didn't go to waste nevertheless this is very disappointing
19:51behavior i expect better from the both of you it was my idea not susan you don't know the rules about
19:59clearing your plates i did matron what miss grayling was everyone to come at once why
20:08lily fernand's giving a talk what lily fernand's giving a talk lily fernand's giving
20:15because you'll get this lap to the kitchens
20:17matron yes lily fernand yes and coming lily fernand
20:21now then who has the next question
20:30yes
20:32um what was your favorite movie that you worked on my favorite movie
20:39well i think that would have to be
20:41ride is out the dusty trail i played a heroic cowgirl and rode a horse called harry
20:51i love that film did you do your own stunts in it well i have been known to do a stunt or two
20:57i'm not afraid to break a fingernail put it that way
21:01next matron and when is your next movie coming out
21:08oh well i couldn't possibly say studios are ever so secretive about these things
21:17next oh yes what would you like to have been if you weren't a famous actor
21:23huh what an excellent question
21:29seeing what your miss grayling has achieved here
21:33i think i would have liked to have been a teacher
21:36giving something back as they say
21:39right uh last question please
21:44yes gwen
21:47it's been eight years since you've last starred in a film
21:50so long why so long between movies
21:54oh
21:57well careers go in ebbs and flows and recently i've made the choice to concentrate on theater
22:04right then i really must be going thank you so much for welcoming me
22:09thank you
22:37really must stop interfering but she's fallen on hard times i'm certain of it just look at this note
22:42that she gave me as her address but this is a post office box i think that she's homeless
22:47living in her car well surely she would have said something if things were so bad
22:53no if it were me fallen on hard times as a former star i wouldn't admit it to anyone
23:01i'd be too proud to ask for help but we can help her there you go oh oh and your name
23:21lily it does seem such a shame for you to leave so soon well i wouldn't want to outstay my welcome
23:28you've only just arrived it feels like we're missing an opportunity here an opportunity
23:35well you have so much to offer the school with your experience you could teach the young ones
23:40all about glamour and style everything i wished i'd learned you did mention an interest in teaching
23:48you could help out with drama and perhaps we could help you
23:57tempting but i'm far too busy irons in the fire et cetera et cetera goodbye
24:16ah out of petrol
24:24fate intervenes again
24:30well it looks like it's giving us a chance to get to know one another after all these years
