00:00:00Oh
00:00:30Why do we put up with this bloody climate?
00:00:34I mean look at us!
00:00:35Jerry can't speak, Leslie can't hear
00:00:38What?
00:00:39Margaret's got a face like a plate of red porridge
00:00:41Shut up!
00:00:42Mother's beginning to look like an Irish washerwoman
00:00:44I am not
00:00:45It's August! We need sunshine!
00:00:47Yes dear
00:00:48Now I've got a friend, lives in Greece, Corfu, says it's wonderful
00:00:51Why don't we pack up and go?
00:00:53I can't just go like that, we have a house here
00:00:56We'll sell up
00:00:57Don't be ridiculous Lawrence
00:00:59Jerry needs an education
00:01:00No, I'll be fine
00:01:01We can't just up and leave, that would be madness
00:01:18This is the story of the time I spent on Corfu
00:01:22It was originally intended to be a mildly nostalgic account
00:01:25of the natural history of the island
00:01:28But I made the grave mistake of introducing my family
00:01:32who proceeded to take over
00:01:34It was only with the greatest difficulty
00:01:36and by exercising considerable cunning
00:01:39that I managed to retain a small space exclusively for the animals
00:01:43What this?
00:01:54Grubs!
00:01:55They're about to turn into beetles
00:01:57You can tell by the way their skin's getting darker
00:01:59She?
00:02:00Roger!
00:02:01Roger!
00:02:02It's important to have a dog
00:02:03Roger!
00:02:04It's important to have a dog
00:02:09I'm a writer
00:02:10That one's very good
00:02:11Challenges all sorts of received bourgeois crap
00:02:13Good!
00:02:14This? No!
00:02:27It's bed linen!
00:02:28Mercedize!
00:02:29Tax!
00:02:30It's our bed linen!
00:02:31You silly man!
00:02:32Come away mother
00:02:33Let's put off annoying people as long as possible
00:02:45Is it a bank holiday?
00:03:03Is it a bank holiday?
00:03:04A bank?
00:03:05Hmm?
00:03:06Not quite gracious arrival I'd hoped for
00:03:23Come on!
00:03:24Ow!
00:03:25Ow!
00:03:26Ow!
00:03:27I'm going to do something!
00:03:28Help!
00:03:29Emma!
00:03:30Go away!
00:03:31Help!
00:03:32Eyes!
00:03:33I'm going to get the ball!
00:03:34Come on Gerald!
00:03:35Now!
00:03:36I'm going to get the ball!
00:03:37I'm going to get the ball!
00:03:38Come on Gerald!
00:03:39Now!
00:03:53Well they all seem very nice
00:04:00The manager wouldn't give me any lavatory paper
00:04:02Not at the table
00:04:03It didn't look properly
00:04:05You've got a little box full by the pan
00:04:07Margot dear
00:04:08What?
00:04:09The box is for paper that's been used
00:04:12Plumbing here can't take it
00:04:16Ah!
00:04:17No!
00:04:18I used it
00:04:20Yes, it is a bit insanitary
00:04:22You remind me to look up typhoid in the parking reception
00:04:31Very emotional age
00:04:33Might want to send some disinfectant up to her room
00:04:37Here they come
00:04:39I'm sure I've got typhoid
00:04:41I feel all typhoidy
00:04:43I'm sorry but you've shown us ten houses
00:04:46And none of them has a bathroom
00:04:48Oh not again
00:04:49Bathroom?
00:04:50What for you want a bathroom?
00:04:52You have the sea

00:05:59Well, taxi?
00:06:01Where do you want to go?
00:06:02you know what English always wants bathrooms I've got a bathroom in my house eight years I was in
00:06:14Chicago and then I say Spiro you've made enough money so I come back I've been in this car with
00:06:19me best car on the island I tell you no word of a lie eyes on the road all English tourists they
00:06:29ask for me when they come to the island yeah you know if I wasn't Greek yeah I like to be English
00:06:36there be a lot with bathrooms
00:06:46it was as though the villa had been standing there
00:06:59waiting for our arrival we felt we'd come home we'll take it
00:07:04once Spiro had taken charge he stuck to us like a bird and became part of the family
00:07:18like a great brown ugly angel he watched over us tenderly
00:07:23you have everything
00:07:30what are these people's things they are merchandise ah we come to take them come on get them
00:07:48customs bastards I know them all hey why you open it you son of a bitch it is my new duty yeah
00:07:54treat innocent followers like smugglers huh that's your duty the bastards think they own the place
00:08:01come on come on who you look like him yeah don't pick your knee come on he took on a pity well you run up to my bedroom and fetch my cigarettes you should fetch them yourself that's the problem with this family no georgia no consideration for others you don't have much consideration for others it's all your fault mother you shouldn't have brought us up to be so
00:08:31Well, we didn't get as selfish as this without some guidance.
00:08:34Hey, you ought to be careful what you say.
00:08:36We don't want to hurt your mother.
00:08:38Why? She's never done anything for us.
00:08:40Don't joke. Don't even joke about it.
00:08:43He's quite right. She's really not much good as a mother, you know.
00:08:46Don't say that. Don't say that!
00:08:48Honest to gods, if I had a mother like you,
00:08:51I would kiss her feet every morning until I die.
00:09:01So we were installed in the villa,
00:09:18and we each settled down and adapted ourselves to our surroundings,
00:09:22in our respective ways.
00:09:24To explain some of our more curious behaviour,
00:09:31I feel that I should state that at the time we were in Corfu,
00:09:34the family were all quite young.
00:09:36Apart from mother, whose age we never knew,
00:09:39for the simple reason that she could never remember her date of birth.
00:09:43For the simple reason,
00:09:45let's go.
00:09:46Or maybe she could never remember her,
00:09:47which would be helpful.
00:09:48Or maybe she could never remember it.
00:09:49She would like to be a pastor.
00:09:50But then, she kept saying she might become a child.
00:09:52Yeah.
00:09:53I feel like she was a child.
00:09:54Oh, I don't know.
00:09:55You're an infant who died,
00:09:56but then she y'all died!
00:09:57And then, for her life is the child.
00:09:59And that's not really true.
00:10:01But then, she knew that she had to leave her...
00:10:03...and she had to take time.
00:10:04And then, So, it's not much my fault
00:10:05was about her to go and get her.
00:10:07So, it's not a little bit.
00:10:08You can do that,
00:10:09But I can't do that well...
00:10:10Who parked that donkey there?
00:10:24Why don't you move it if it disturbs you, dear?
00:10:26Because future generations should not be deprived of my work
00:10:28because I was outside shooing away donkeys.
00:10:31Try this, try this.
00:10:32Bloody hell. What is it?
00:10:34Melitzana horiatiki.
00:10:36Haven't the cornflakes all right?
00:10:37Larry, darling, we've come away to try new things.
00:10:40I found a crab spider.
00:10:42And if you move it to a different coloured leaf,
00:10:44it changes colour if you wait long enough.
00:10:50Why are you wearing those boots in this heat?
00:10:52Snakes.
00:10:55And the jumper?
00:10:56So we don't lose him.
00:10:57Look, it's a large family. It could do with thinning out.
00:10:59For Christ's sake!
00:11:06Mmm.
00:11:07Mmm.
00:11:07Now, is Leslie going to do that all day?
00:11:11Well, it's his hobby. We all need a hobby. He's not very good at anything else.
00:11:15Oh, yes, yes, we all need a hobby.
00:11:18Shut up!
00:11:19I'm not sure sunbathing like that is terribly wise. That costume doesn't cover an awful lot.
00:11:27Don't be so old-fashioned.
00:11:29You only die once.
00:11:32You know those black caterpillars I thought were caterpillars?
00:11:36They're not.
00:11:37They're ladybirds just hatched, but they look exactly like caterpillars.
00:11:41Hmm?
00:11:41Yes!
00:11:43And the flies I was telling you about, the lacewing flies...
00:11:46Yes.
00:11:47They lay their eggs inside flowers, so that when...
00:11:50I'll tell you later.
00:11:51Where are you going?
00:11:57Exploring.
00:11:58Have fun.
00:12:00Does Mum know?
00:12:01I'm going exploring!
00:12:02Exploring!
00:12:04In those early days of exploration, Roger was the perfect companion for adventure.
00:12:11Affectionate without exuberance, brave without being belligerent, intelligent, and full of good-humoured tolerance for my eccentricity.
00:12:38Excuse me?
00:12:39Do you know how to spell beware and quiet?
00:12:47I'll have a guess.
00:13:03Oh, um...
00:13:04Ah, nice job you've done.
00:13:18Good job.
00:13:19When you're finished, you'll eat a meal.
00:13:24It's very difficult.
00:13:33Come on, please.
00:13:35That's nice, Greek.
00:13:37Good!
00:13:49Ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding
00:14:19Not hatched yet, Roger
00:14:49Oh, my God.
00:15:19Oh, my God.
00:15:49Oh, my God.
00:16:19Oh, my God.
00:16:20Yeah.
00:16:21Mummy's boy.
00:16:22I am not.
00:16:23I'm I, Mum.
00:16:24It's Achilles' favourite.
00:16:26Oh.
00:16:29Jerry, you can take off your jumper.
00:16:38It looks like a badly cooked chicken.
00:16:40Oh, and one of Margo's admirers handed this in.
00:16:48That was there for a reason.
00:16:49Yes, well, anyway, your spelling is appalling.
00:16:51You need some sort of education.
00:16:52No, no, I don't.
00:16:54Yes, he must learn to dance, or he'll
00:16:55turn into one of those awful tongue-tied hobbledy hoes.
00:16:57He just needs a good grounding in literature.
00:17:00I recommend hobbledy.
00:17:01He's a little too old for Jerry, I think.
00:17:02It's important he gets sex in the right perspective.
00:17:04You have a mania about sex.
00:17:06You're dragged into everything.
00:17:07Healthy outdoor life.
00:17:08That's all he needs.
00:17:09Shooting and sailing.
00:17:11You're talking like a bloody bishop.
00:17:12You are so opinionated.
00:17:14Shut up.
00:17:15Children, stop it.
00:17:16We need someone who will teach Jerry,
00:17:18but also encourage his interest in wildlife.
00:17:20Why?
00:17:20It's just a phase.
00:17:22It's been going on since he was two.
00:17:23Why do you always talk about me as though I'm not here?
00:17:25My friend George is still out here.
00:17:27I suppose he could have a stab at teaching.
00:17:28Oh, that's a good idea.
00:17:29Mm-hmm.
00:17:36Um.
00:17:44Can you repeat the question again?
00:17:46How long would it take six men to build a wall if three of them took a week?
00:18:00What kind of slug?
00:18:01What kind of slug?
00:18:02What kind of slug?
00:18:03What kind of slug?
00:18:05Um.
00:18:06What kind of slug?
00:18:07What kind of slug?
00:18:08What kind of slug?
00:18:09He just doesn't seem very keen to learn.
00:18:12Of course he isn't, George.
00:18:13He's twelve.
00:18:14And he is living.
00:18:15What kind of slug?
00:18:16What kind of slug?
00:18:17What kind of slug?
00:18:19What kind of slug?
00:18:20What kind of slug?
00:18:21What kind of slug?
00:18:23What kind of slug?
00:18:24What kind of slug?
00:18:25How long would it take four slugs to eat the same number?
00:18:28What kind of slug?
00:18:30Any kind.
00:18:33He just doesn't seem very keen to learn.
00:18:36Of course he isn't, George.
00:18:37He's twelve.
00:18:39And he is living in, what amounts to for him, a large sweet shop.
00:18:43Mother, is there any clean underwear?
00:18:45A little louder, Margot, dear.
00:18:48I'm not sure they got that in Macedonia.
00:18:50You may want to close your mouth before an insect flies in.
00:18:58Aye, that's quite a blush.
00:18:59You could toast a bun on you.
00:19:02She's, um, terribly striking.
00:19:04Yes, I should probably put her in the stout jumper
00:19:07rather than Gerald.
00:19:09Talking of whom, I think the answer is to play to his strengths,
00:19:13don't you?
00:19:14Well, I have had a go.
00:19:15You know, what are six cockatoos times
00:19:18seven cockatoos kind of thing.
00:19:20Forty-two cockatoos.
00:19:23Erm, yes.
00:19:25Oh, no!
00:19:28Well, anyway, erm, let's, erm, loosen the reins a little more, shall we?
00:19:33And bring him outdoors.
00:19:35It's not natural to be inside.
00:19:36You bastard!
00:19:44As you can see.
00:19:46Good.
00:19:47Good.
00:19:48That's good.
00:19:49And, er, let's not forget history.
00:19:51Name Hannibal's elephants as he crossed the Alps.
00:19:53Bardy.
00:19:54Good.
00:19:55Good.
00:19:56Good.
00:19:57Jesper.
00:19:58Amato.
00:19:59Cerus.
00:20:00Domito.
00:20:01Sextus.
00:20:02Titus.
00:20:03The Rose Beetle Man.
00:20:04The Rose Beetle Man.
00:20:09And lessons are over for today.
00:20:10Apparently.
00:20:11The Rose Beetle Man turned up fairly regularly with some new addition to my menagerie.
00:20:16A frog, perhaps.
00:20:17A frog, perhaps.
00:20:18Or a white pigeon with a broken leg.
00:20:21Um.
00:20:22Um.
00:20:23Uh!
00:20:24Ah!
00:20:25The Rose Beetle Man turned up fairly regularly with some new addition to my menagerie.
00:20:29A frog, perhaps.
00:20:30Or a white pigeon with a broken leg.
00:20:32Um!
00:20:33Ah!
00:20:34Ah!
00:20:35Ah!
00:20:36Ah!
00:20:37Ah!
00:20:38Ah!
00:20:39Ah!
00:20:40Ah!
00:20:41Ah!
00:20:42Ah!
00:20:43Ah!
00:20:44Ah!
00:20:45Ah!
00:20:46Ah!
00:20:47Ah!
00:20:48Ah!
00:20:49Ah!
00:20:50Felt.
00:20:52Felt.
00:20:57Felt.
00:21:03A new one that I knew.
00:21:06A snake, like me.
00:21:10And he fell under a bed.
00:21:12A scorpion fell in his head.
00:21:16Felt. Felt.
00:21:18He was able to help him.
00:21:21He was a man.
00:21:23We found him with a huge head.
00:21:26He was broken.
00:21:29He was broken in his head.
00:21:32He was broken.
00:21:48Hampered by a reluctant pupil, George strove to make my lessons as entertaining as possible.
00:21:58So, the French and British fleets were slowly drawing together for what was to be the decisive sea battle of the war.
00:22:06Sea slugs! I saw these in a book!
00:22:11Right, when the enemy was sighted, Nelson...
00:22:14Right, Nelson was on the bridge, bird-watching through his telescope.
00:22:30Having been warned of the enemy's approach by a friendly gull.
00:22:34No, don't ask me what kind of gull.
00:22:39Theo! Come on. He's an eccentric nature lover, like you.
00:22:44And an expert on practically equity, Gerald Darrell, Dr Theodore Stefanidi.
00:22:50Oh, very pleased to meet you.
00:22:51Oh, and you, yeah.
00:22:52Oh, I'm sorry.
00:22:55Interesting.
00:22:56It's this one.
00:22:58Green sleeves was all my joy.
00:23:04Green sleeves was my delight.
00:23:06That really is the last pet he's getting.
00:23:08Green sleeves was my heart of gold.
00:23:14And who but my lady, green sleeves.
00:23:25That was haunting.
00:23:27I love it here.
00:23:31I want to be buried on Corfu.
00:23:33Can't wait until tomorrow.
00:23:35It's turned a bit chilly out.
00:23:36Under the biggest cypress tree in the garden.
00:23:39You said up behind Yanni, the shepherd's house.
00:23:42Yes, I've been thinking that might be a bit inaccessible.
00:23:44I don't want the mourners dropping my flyers halfway up the hill.
00:23:47Oh, it's fair.
00:23:50They're, uh...
00:23:51You all right?
00:23:53Oh, no.
00:23:55It's Missy Margo.
00:23:58What about her?
00:23:59She...
00:24:00She has a Turkish boyfriend.
00:24:08What's wrong with that?
00:24:09Apart from George being about to make his move.
00:24:11Bad luck, George.
00:24:12What's wrong?
00:24:13It's Missy Margo with a bastard son-of-a-bitch Turk.
00:24:16Swimming together.
00:24:18Is she pregnant?
00:24:22Excuse me.
00:24:23I'm sure it will be fine.
00:24:25I'm going to invite him to tea.
00:24:27Tea?
00:24:29Zerra, I have a gift for you from Dr. Theo.
00:24:33Who's he, dear?
00:24:34He's a friend of George's.
00:24:36He does everything.
00:24:46The only person I had met until now who seemed to share my enthusiasm for zoology was Theo.
00:25:09I was extremely flattered with a scientist of considerable repute, and I could have told this by his beard.
00:25:17Talked to me as though I was as knowledgeable as he.
00:25:19This is a spider, Cyclops viridis, that I caught out near Govina the other day.
00:25:34One eye in the middle of its head!
00:25:36It's incredible, isn't it?
00:25:37Hence, Cyclops.
00:25:39Cyclops.
00:25:40Wait, I've got a marvellous book about Greek mythologies somewhere.
00:25:44I bought some insects.
00:25:52I wondered if you knew what they are.
00:25:58Jerry, I think we are going to get on rather well.
00:26:04Oh, now that is...
00:26:06Phew!
00:26:07The whole family.
00:26:08These are really hard to catch.
00:26:10So, now, pregnant.
00:26:22I've been meaning to have a talk about this because it's an important subject and very beautiful and quite confusing and even shocking.
00:26:40What?
00:26:41I know all about it.
00:26:42I'm always seeing animals mating and giving birth.
00:26:45Oh, well, it did strike me as strange.
00:26:46It's like a bloody maternity ward out there.
00:26:48I thought you must know what goes on.
00:26:49Yes, I do.
00:26:50Excellent.
00:26:51Can I go now?
00:26:52No, because we humans are different from animals.
00:26:57We...
00:26:58Well, perhaps we think too much and, um, and you'll find that sometimes life and your life, too, will be painful, especially when it comes to love.
00:27:19Oh, well, look at poor George.
00:27:22He's so upset about Margot, he's gone back to England.
00:27:25Why didn't he look for someone else here?
00:27:29Well, because he feels hopeless and lonely and he needs his family to cheer him up.
00:27:36There's a man looking all smart coming up the path.
00:27:40Oh, God!
00:27:41He's here!
00:27:42Ready?
00:27:43Everyone is here!
00:27:49Margot's told us so much about you.
00:28:13We love Margot.
00:28:19Do you have a scone?
00:28:33You write, I believe?
00:28:35Yes, I, uh...
00:28:36I always feel I could ride superbly if I tried.
00:28:39Really?
00:28:40Well, it's a gift, isn't it?
00:28:43He swims very well.
00:28:45He goes out terribly far.
00:28:47Perhaps he'd like to demonstrate.
00:28:50I'm a superb swimmer.
00:28:52I know no fear.
00:28:55When I ride the horse, I have no fear because I ride superbly.
00:29:00I can sell a boat in a typhoon without fear.
00:29:03You see?
00:29:07I am not a fearful man.
00:29:09I wish you wouldn't wear so much perfume.
00:29:17It's Achilles.
00:29:19He's fallen down a well.
00:29:21I think he's dead.
00:29:22Oh.
00:29:31He's a tortoise.
00:29:33Ah.
00:29:35Ah.
00:30:30Kelly Sparrow.
00:30:31What are they?
00:30:33Rose beetles.
00:30:34They're beautiful.
00:30:36I can see why you prefer creatures to people.
00:30:40Why are you so interested in them?
00:30:42They're just like us, aren't they?
00:30:44Families.
00:30:45I want to know how they all are.
00:30:48Imagine if they weren't there.
00:30:50Does he have to put them in strings?
00:30:52Better than in a box.
00:30:54Let's buy them all.
00:30:55For days, the villa was full of rose beetles, falling like emeralds into our laps.
00:31:06Do you think the taste of cheese is actually good or...
00:31:08You don't?
00:31:09Are you doing that?
00:31:10I want to have to...
00:31:11I've invited one of two people out for a week or so.
00:31:16Oh, that would be nice.
00:31:17Yeah.
00:31:18I think they have some intelligent and stimulating company.
00:31:21I hope they're not too high-brow.
00:31:23Of course they're not.
00:31:24They are charming.
00:31:26Like me.
00:31:27Yes, sirs!
00:31:28Yes!
00:31:29Yes!
00:31:30Yes!
00:31:31Yes, sirs, Billy, who are you?
00:31:33Do you want to?
00:31:34Do you want to see me?
00:31:35Yes!
00:31:36Yes!
00:31:37Yes, sirs, yes.
00:31:38I'm a friend.
00:31:39You're a friend.
00:31:40You're a friend.
00:31:42You're a friend.
00:31:43You're a friend.
00:31:44Little English flort.
00:31:46Ha, ha!
00:31:47Why do they think we English are all lords and ladies?
00:31:49Because we act like it.
00:31:50Oh, you'd better tell the pension Swiss your friends are coming.
00:31:52No, no, no. I've invited them to stay with us.
00:31:54How can they possibly stay with us?
00:31:56There's plenty of room.
00:31:58Margot and Les sleep on the balcony.
00:31:59What? That gives you two rooms.
00:32:01You have to write and put them off.
00:32:03I can't. They're on their way.
00:32:05Oh, really? You are so thoughtless.
00:32:07Where are they going to sleep?
00:32:10We'll move into a bigger villa.
00:32:13I can't afford it. Are you simple?
00:32:15It's important to live beyond your means.
00:32:17All banks don't respect you.
00:32:19How many people have you really invited?
00:32:21Eight.
00:32:23To twelve.
00:32:25Well, we are not moving to another villa.
00:32:29What's up?
00:32:30Get on!
00:32:43Mother went about settling us in again.
00:32:45Our neat little house in Bournemouth seemed several lifetimes away.
00:32:50Oh, this is Dallas. This is Lugarets here. She comes to the house.
00:33:20She has a bad stomach.
00:33:48Oh, this is Lugarets.
00:34:18I'm going to kill her. Put her out of her misery.
00:34:21No, poor woman. She's obviously suffering.
00:34:24What's the matter with her?
00:34:25Digestion. She gets these nasty little...
00:34:28Oh, don't tell us.
00:34:29Her feet now, apparently. Don't say anything. There's no one else available.
00:34:33No, I'm going to kill her.
00:34:34Food, yummy, yummy.
00:34:37I told you it was a good idea to move.
00:34:40Furniture could be a little more sturdy, perhaps.
00:34:45Did I ever tell you about the last opera we had in Corfu?
00:35:13Uh, no.
00:35:16Oh.
00:35:17Yes, it was one of those traveling opera companies performing Tosca with a leading lady who was very well-developed.
00:35:28Now, in the final act, as you probably know, she throws herself to her death from the battlements of a castle.
00:35:34Well, on the first night, it seems the stagehands had forgotten to put anything for her to land on.
00:35:40So she fell with a huge crash and then proceeded groaning quite loudly while her lover was singing about how sad he was that she was dead.
00:35:50Oh.
00:35:50Um, should we help him back on?
00:35:54No, I think I might put him off.
00:35:57The lady was very, very upset, understandably.
00:36:01So the next night, the stagehands made sure that they put a huge pile of mattresses for her to land on.
00:36:08But her landing was now so soft and springy that while the whole cast was singing away about her tragic death,
00:36:16she, the lady in question, reappeared two or three times above the battlements.
00:36:22Do you make these up?
00:36:23No, nothing ever goes according to plan in conformity.
00:36:29Larry's friends.
00:36:31I think Mother's a bit worried about them.
00:36:33Why?
00:36:33Not bad, eh?
00:36:35Bleeding enormous.
00:36:36When is lunch?
00:37:06Look, a tortoise.
00:37:13I watched it hatching.
00:37:14Oh, another tortoise.
00:37:16Splendid.
00:37:16Please go and find Larry.
00:37:17His friends are driving me mad.
00:37:23Larry!
00:37:30After weeks of searching, I found the perfect tree.
00:37:34He was covered in exquisite blossom.
00:37:38I started to paint a masterpiece.
00:37:44And when I returned the next day, I found all the blossom that had fallen to the ground.
00:37:50That's the wind for you.
00:37:52I swore I'd never paint again.
00:37:53But slowly, I'm recovering my nerves.
00:37:59And, and sometime, I will start to paint again.
00:38:09Larry!
00:38:13How'd you go, kid?
00:38:14I'm working.
00:38:15Far from being the ordinary, charming people that Larry had promised, his friends turned
00:38:30out to be the most extraordinary eccentrics.
00:38:33It was like observing a whole new species.
00:38:43Larry's too busy
00:39:11meeting with Nancy
00:39:12of course there's going to be a war
00:39:17that's what dictators do when they're bored
00:39:19with oppressing their own people
00:39:21is Hitler a dictator?
00:39:23I thought he was a painter
00:39:24so it can't be all bad
00:39:26painter and decorator
00:39:28Europe is like a big fat marrow
00:39:30lying in the sun
00:39:32panting to explode
00:39:33do you bloody poets not make sense on purpose?
00:39:35I mean, what was that?
00:39:36at least the Italian fascists are spending all their money
00:39:39on nice uniforms
00:39:40Germany's become one great bomb-making
00:39:42no, that's just to give everybody something to do
00:39:44it's all about business
00:39:45you know nothing
00:39:47you're Humpty Dumpty
00:39:48ah, Humpty Dumpty
00:39:49now thank you at last
00:39:50real poetry
00:39:51simple
00:39:52free of clichés
00:39:53you could learn from it
00:39:55Humpty Dumpty sat on the wall
00:39:58Humpty Dumpty had a great fall
00:40:00now I mean that could clearly be about Hitler
00:40:02well, Humpty is Hitler?
00:40:04I don't think that's right
00:40:05I think the more accurate analogy there
00:40:07might be some
00:40:08hickory dickory doc
00:40:10well, I mean if you're going to do mice
00:40:12then you might as well do three
00:40:12come on, Larry
00:40:13it's not like you not to have an opinion
00:40:15no, it's not
00:40:16we're cut off from the world here
00:40:19I suppose we've grown rather fond of our
00:40:22glorious resolution
00:40:24actually, no, I think the world's cut off from him
00:40:27rather than the other way around
00:40:29well, I do now you mention it
00:40:30yes, yes, I do
00:40:30fine
00:40:31but you may wake up and find
00:40:33there's no England to go back to
00:40:35I'm sure common sense will prevail
00:40:37why?
00:40:39never does in this family
00:40:40you'll find that
00:40:42hickory dickory doc
00:40:44as the mouse is going up the clock
00:40:45that's us being
00:40:46mouse being England
00:40:49used to be
00:40:50could you just spit it out?
00:40:51empire lion is now
00:40:52reduced to a little mouse
00:40:54tricking its way up the top
00:40:56and that's us being chased
00:40:58oh god
00:41:02it's her asthma
00:41:03she's allergic to cats

00:41:09please don't open the windows
00:41:12I'm allergic to fresh air
00:41:14could it be bats?
00:41:18I think we've got some of those
00:41:19how could she be allergic to bats?
00:41:20no, just breathe
00:41:22breathe, breathe, breathe
00:41:25breathe, just breathe
00:41:26hell
00:41:26hell
00:41:27hell
00:41:28Jerry, you're starting to look like a wild animal
00:41:37thanks
00:41:38have you ever stuffed a bat?
00:41:41no
00:41:42it's harder than it looks
00:41:44if this works, I'm going to do Larry
00:41:47isn't it enough just to look at them in the wild?
00:41:51I like having them around me
00:41:53making noises
00:41:55smelling
00:41:56you're right
00:41:57it's just like a family
00:41:59did you hear the others talking about what's happening in Germany?
00:42:04yes
00:42:07seems so safe here
00:42:14how can I get one of those things?
00:42:15I'm asking you all the thoughts and I can't tell you all about them
00:42:16do you think about it?
00:42:16but not being so bad
00:42:18no I can tell you all about my stuff
00:42:19oh my God
00:42:20but please tell me all the thoughts on my life
00:42:22yeah they must have added to the stars
00:42:23No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:42:53Ah, ah, ah, boy.
00:42:56Mm.
00:43:08What's he doing?
00:43:09The usual.
00:43:11He was doing it at 2 AM this morning with a torch.
00:43:14He says the day shift is totally unlike the night shift.
00:43:17To warn you, the wild and the woolly are stirring indoors,
00:43:20and I don't mean Jerry's animals.
00:43:23Larry, you might encourage your friend, Mr. Miller,
00:43:25to experiment with pajamas.
00:43:27Henry sees clothes as the last refuge of the bourgeoisie.
00:43:35Watch this.
00:43:36Three, two, one.
00:43:44Perhaps it's just as well your father didn't live to see
00:43:46how you all turned out.
00:43:49Extraordinarily insensitive of you.
00:43:51I think you nagged him to death.
00:43:53We're actually rather well-adjusted.
00:43:57Well, I am.
00:43:58Oh.
00:44:00I think I may have over-celebrated the god of wine last night.
00:44:04Um, Larry.
00:44:08Don't move.
00:44:13Bloody hell!
00:44:14Bloody hell!
00:44:15Get that part of us!
00:44:17Ah!
00:44:17Oh!
00:44:18Oh!
00:44:18Oh!
00:44:19Oh!
00:44:19Oh!
00:44:20Oh!
00:44:20Oh!
00:44:21Oh!
00:44:21Sweet, holy boy, as every matchbox in this house is a death trap.
00:44:24They're crying.
00:44:25Quick, do something!
00:44:26Look at those scorpions get on the table.
00:44:28No!
00:44:29You didn't do anything, Margot!
00:44:31Put the chair down, Leslie.
00:44:33No!
00:44:34No!
00:44:35No!
00:44:36No!
00:44:37No!
00:44:38No!
00:44:39No!
00:44:40No!
00:44:41No!
00:44:42No!
00:44:43No!
00:44:44No!
00:44:45No!
00:44:46No!
00:44:47No!
00:44:48No!
00:44:49No!
00:44:50No!
00:44:51No!
00:44:52No!
00:44:53No!
00:44:54No!
00:44:55No!
00:44:56No!
00:44:57Oh, gosh!
00:44:58Shut up, Roger!
00:44:59Retreat slowly!
00:45:00Er...
00:45:01I've got a nose boot.
00:45:02It shows that I've got a nose boot.
00:45:03I've got a genie.
00:45:04Jerry!
00:45:05It's fine!
00:45:06No!
00:45:07No!
00:45:08He's out of control.
00:45:09He's driven my friends away.
00:45:11I know.
00:45:12That's such a shame.
00:45:14Well, what should I do?
00:45:16Post him back to England in a big package with his head sticking out at one end?
00:45:19Don't be ridiculous.
00:45:20Don't tell me what to be.
00:45:22You're my child, not my husband.
00:45:24You are not driving this slightly ramshackle vehicle.
00:45:28You're in the back, being driven.
00:45:30Eating chocolates.
00:45:32Well, I think it's about to crash.
00:45:35Well, we'll see, shall we?
00:45:37Come through here.
00:45:38Gerald?
00:45:39This is Peter.
00:45:40Hello, Gerald.
00:45:41Hello.
00:45:42Hello, Gerald.
00:45:43Hello, Gerald.
00:45:44Hello.
00:45:45All right.
00:45:46Thank you, Mrs. Darrell.
00:45:47I'm sure Gerald and I are just fine.
00:45:50Thank you, Mrs. Darrell.
00:45:51I'm sure Gerald and I are just fine.
00:45:56Hello.
00:45:59All right, thank you, Mrs. Darrell. I'm sure Gerald and I were just fine.
00:46:21Right.
00:46:23Good.
00:46:26Let me tell you something about me. I believe in the building blocks of education.
00:46:30There are no shortcuts. There is any repetition, rule learning and hard work.
00:46:36Let's start with some basic mathematics.
00:46:47Page one, number one.
00:46:49When you've done that, move on to page 83 and work through those.
00:47:02When you've done that, move on to page 83 and work through those.
00:47:15I'd offer to teach you, too.
00:47:16Only you look like you know everything already.
00:47:17Can I have a biscuit?
00:47:18No.
00:47:19Do call out if you need anything.
00:47:20I might just do that.
00:47:21Do call out if you need anything.
00:47:22I might just do that.
00:47:23Do call out if you need anything.
00:47:24I might just do that.
00:47:25Hmm.
00:47:26Hmm.
00:47:27Hmm.
00:47:28Hmm.
00:47:29Hmm.
00:47:30Hmm.
00:47:31Hmm.
00:47:32Hmm.
00:47:33Hmm.
00:47:34I say.
00:47:35Hm.
00:47:36Ha ha.
00:47:37Can I have a biscuit?
00:47:38No.
00:47:39Do call out if you need anything.
00:47:41I might just do that.
00:48:02I say.
00:48:07She loves being in the garden.
00:48:09Is she?
00:48:12Chatting.
00:48:15Shall I write a story?
00:48:19A long story?
00:48:26Good idea.
00:48:30Larry wrestled with the jaguar,
00:48:32the animal's incisors,
00:48:34inches from the tall, fleshy man's soft, girlish skin.
00:48:41Larry glanced over to desperately see his brother, Gerald,
00:48:45having rather more success,
00:48:47tackling the massive boa constrictor
00:48:49wrapped round his mother's waist like a rope of iron.
00:48:53He tore at the creature with a knife, careful not to hurt it.
00:48:57Gerald finally sent the constrictor packing,
00:48:59then turned to his older brother,
00:49:01who was whimpering with fear, cornered by the jaguar.
00:49:05Jerry, your stuffed bat smells even worse than everything else.
00:49:08If that were possible, please get rid of it.
00:49:12Where's Peter?
00:49:13He sent me some work.
00:49:15I'm working very hard.
00:49:17I think he might be somewhere with Margot.
00:49:19You can see that this essentially lonely soil gives way...
00:49:36gives way further scarp to a more clay stratum,
00:49:39the characteristic corfiot alluvium.
00:49:42Mmm!
00:49:43Mmm!
00:49:49There are publications on the subject, if you're interested.
00:49:52Baldwin's Dictionary of Soil gives all types from A to Z,
00:49:56and all letters in between.
00:49:59No, go!
00:50:00Do not give it...
00:50:01No!
00:50:02Larry!
00:50:03Oh!
00:50:04Oh!
00:50:05Oh!
00:50:06Go!
00:50:07Give me that!
00:50:08Give me that!
00:50:09Give me that!
00:50:10Give me that!
00:50:11Give me that!
00:50:12Give me that!
00:50:13Never let me win!
00:50:14Forward!
00:50:15Forward to the white brigade!
00:50:16Go!
00:50:17Oh!
00:50:18Oh!
00:50:19Oh!
00:50:20Does this remind you of ballmen?
00:50:21Not really Les, no.
00:50:22Woo!
00:50:23Was that?
00:50:24Was that a ballroom?
00:50:25You should buy a costume and come in, man.
00:50:27Oh no!
00:50:28Not at my age.
00:50:29We get all the fun we need from sitting down with a ball of novelty wool.
00:50:34Oh, good.
00:50:35Tim you win!
00:50:36In!
00:50:38Two, three, four!
00:50:52When's Margot coming back?
00:50:54Dunno. Mother took us shopping.
00:50:58How do you smell scimitar?
00:51:00It needs a baby to read that drivel when you've finished it.
00:51:17All right, stop scribbling.
00:51:19By tomorrow, I want you to have written out all your tables eight times.
00:51:25Well, I'll tell Mummy and Big Bro you won't work.
00:51:28Don't have you packed off to that boarding school in Surrey.
00:51:30They've no doubt got lined up for you.
00:51:36Where's your annoying friend?
00:51:38Go on.
00:51:40You're not still writing that novel?
00:51:42No. Birthday list.
00:51:44Thank God.
00:51:45Two obsessive writers in the family, that's all we need.
00:51:49What do you want then?
00:51:53I've done a list for each person.
00:51:55And here's yours.
00:52:00A boat!
00:52:01I'm not allowed to use the sea cow.
00:52:03You could make me one.
00:52:04Well, do you know how much time that would take?
00:52:05You know so much about boats.
00:52:07Oh.
00:52:09All right.
00:52:11I've decided that you should have a birthday party, Gerry.
00:52:13Small but distinguished gathering.
00:52:14Ten people you like best.
00:52:15Thank you, Larry.
00:52:16Pleasure.
00:52:17I'll get Mother to arrange it.
00:52:18Not only I, but each family member invited ten people to the party.
00:52:21Unfortunately, we didn't all invite the same ten.
00:52:22The result was that Mother, on the eve of the party, suddenly discovered we were going
00:52:26to have, not ten guests, but fifty.
00:52:27Larry suggested the puppies be called Whittle and Puke.
00:52:28Then the name stuck.
00:52:29And the name stuck.
00:53:00When we got married, I asked my wife, how many children do you want?
00:53:21She says, two.
00:53:22Two.
00:53:23I give her two.
00:53:24Then I get her sewed up.
00:53:27Thirteen years older, who wouldn't believe it?
00:53:41Right!
00:53:46Goodbye!
00:53:55Goodbye!
00:53:57Goodbye!
00:54:01Goodbye!
00:54:07Goodbye!
00:54:09Come on!
00:54:11Come on!
00:54:13Come on!
00:54:15Come on!
00:54:17Come on!
00:54:19Come on!
00:54:21Come on!
00:54:23Come on!
00:54:25Hoppah!
00:54:31Oh, you know?
00:54:33Big, big punch.
00:54:35Oh!
00:54:37Oh, shit!
00:54:39I would never very much. You're dancing,
00:54:41Missouri.
00:54:43I love that.
00:54:45I love that.
00:54:47I love that.
00:54:49Oh!
00:54:55Oh!
00:54:57She got it.
00:54:59She got it.
00:55:01She got it.
00:55:03She got it.
00:55:05She got it.
00:55:07Oh, oh!
00:55:09Oh, oh!
00:55:11Oh, oh!
00:55:13Oh!
00:55:15Oh, oh, oh!
00:55:17Oh, oh!
00:55:19Oh, oh!
00:55:21Can we get this over, Liv?
00:55:45He doesn't like it.
00:55:47I do, I love it!
00:55:49Get it into the water so we can go back to bed.
00:55:52She needs a name before we can launch her.
00:55:54Johnny, Roger, can I go now?
00:55:56No!
00:55:57Something not interesting.
00:55:58Arbuckle?
00:56:01Bootle?
00:56:03The bum trinket.
00:56:05Don't be rude, Larry.
00:56:13I name this boat the bootle bum trinket.
00:56:18I told you the master's too big.
00:56:34He'll have to go, of course.
00:56:36Yeah.
00:56:38Who?
00:56:39Where?
00:56:40Peter.
00:56:41He and Margot are obviously becoming too fond of each other.
00:56:47I hardly want him as a relative.
00:56:49You can't blame him for wanting to...
00:56:51Yes, I don't want to hear your current word for it, thank you.
00:56:58I think it's too short now.
00:56:59I think it's too short now.
00:57:20This is so unfair.
00:57:28It's so unfair.
00:57:30I love him.
00:57:32You love him, I know.
00:57:34Long, salarly.
00:57:36But terrible.
00:57:37There's no other work with Peter here on the island.
00:57:41I have to go back to the films.
00:57:43I'll shoot him if he tries to come back.
00:57:45A little bit reactionary, perhaps.
00:57:47You've got to be firm under these circumstances.
00:57:49Family honour is at stake.
00:57:55I'll put the word out.
00:57:57They'll stop him at the docks if he tried to get back in.
00:58:00I have nothing more to say to you.
00:58:02So, let me show you out.
00:58:07I hate you!
00:58:09You've destroyed my life!
00:58:11Margot, darling, I would love you to find someone,
00:58:14but I fear Peter was not the one.
00:58:16What do you know?
00:58:17I know how to protect my family.
00:58:19You do not!
00:58:20Yes, I do!
00:58:22I'm staying in my bedroom.
00:58:24I don't see anyone.
00:58:33Somebody's been pinching things from the sea cow.
00:58:35Not on Corfu.
00:58:37Who?
00:58:37The fisherman, presumably.
00:58:38I'm worried about Margot.
00:58:42Been in her room for nearly a week.
00:58:45She's never refused food before.
00:58:47I saw Jerry with a tray.
00:58:49Well, yes.
00:58:50She takes it from him.
00:58:53Perhaps Peter wouldn't have been so bad.
00:58:55He was appalling.
00:58:56Yes, he was, wasn't he?
00:58:58He's threatened to come back and snatch Margot away.
00:59:01Apparently.
00:59:01Margot's done something silly.
00:59:03Margot's done something silly.
00:59:03Where is she?
00:59:04Margot!
00:59:04Margot!
00:59:04Oh, thank God.
00:59:07I thought you'd done something silly.
00:59:08How romantic.
00:59:25What's happening?
00:59:26Margot's done something silly.
00:59:28Where is she?
00:59:30Margot!
00:59:32Margot!
00:59:33Oh, thank God.
00:59:34I thought you'd done something terrible to yourself.
00:59:35Someone shot Peter!
00:59:38Everyone shut up.
00:59:39I'm going to know what's happening.
00:59:40I need to check Peter's all right.
00:59:43I need to check Peter's all right.
00:59:44I need to check Peter's all right.
00:59:46I need to check Peter's all right.
00:59:49I need to check Peter's all right.
00:59:54What?
00:59:54I wasn't shooting at him.
00:59:56It was my burglar warning device.
01:00:05Did you expect nobody would hear?
01:00:22I'm protecting the family's assets from those fishermen.
01:00:25In case they were out there.
01:00:28I don't even have to get out of bed.
01:00:30You see?
01:00:33Look, shall I demonstrate?
01:00:34No!
01:00:34No!
01:00:35No, you madman!
01:00:38They're too far away to get badly hurt.
01:00:40Animals and explosions all day.
01:00:42Bloody great 12-gun salutes in the middle of the night.
01:00:45There's eccentricity.
01:00:47And then there's stupidity!
01:00:48You have to kill quite so many.
01:01:16You said I was allowed to hunt.
01:01:17Poor innocent creatures.
01:01:20It's the hunting season.
01:01:22They expect to be shot.
01:01:25How is she?
01:01:26Still sad.
01:01:28Reading poetry.
01:01:29Who?
01:01:30Um, Tennyson.
01:01:31Oh.
01:01:32How are we going to jolt her out of this?
01:01:33Don't expect me to help.
01:01:34I believe in free love.
01:01:35No, you don't, you silly boy.
01:01:37Why doesn't you stop moping around?
01:01:38Disguise yourself as a peasant and fly into Peter's arms?
01:01:41Hey, look at me, I'm going to show you the dog.
01:01:44Thank you, LaGrette.
01:01:45It's horrible.
01:01:46I'm so sorry that Roger bit you.
01:01:48I had no idea a wild boar was so big.
01:01:51Do be careful.
01:01:53It's perfectly safe.
01:01:54Unless they charge.
01:01:56You can always vault over it.
01:01:58Vault over a charging boar!
01:02:01Why not?
01:02:01Well, do come with me today to the marshes and demonstrate.
01:02:04I don't profess to be a hairy-chested man of action, Liz.
01:02:07I've supplied the idea that it's your job to carry them out.
01:02:09You always think the things other people do are simple.
01:02:12They are.
01:02:13He's right, Larry.
01:02:14You never seem to put your suggestions into practice.
01:02:16Yes, are you ever going to actually do anything?
01:02:19Fine.
01:02:21My honour's at stake.
01:02:24Prepare me a gun.
01:02:27I'm going down to the beach.
01:02:29Don't follow me.
01:02:31I don't think it was going to be this dank.
01:02:46So, trickiest of all is what's called the right and left,
01:02:49where you make two kills in quick succession,
01:02:51first with the right, then the left barrel.
01:02:54Sounds easy enough.
01:02:55You might want to load it.
01:03:02I know.
01:03:03Hold the gun above your head.
01:03:26And don't stand up or you'll sink.
01:03:28Say how you are.
01:03:29Oh, you've choked the bloody barrels.
01:03:34Would you rather that was sucked under?
01:03:35Yes.
01:03:36Oh, oh.
01:03:39For God's sake, get me out of here.
01:03:41Hold the gun out of me.
01:03:42Forget the gun.
01:03:43Save me.
01:03:43I can't reach you unless you give me the end of the gun.
01:03:46Go.
01:03:51Work it, work it, work it, work it.
01:03:53I'm going down.
01:04:00I'm going under.
01:04:01I'm going under.
01:04:02It's silly.
01:04:03It's silly all over again.
01:04:05Oh, oh, oh.
01:04:07Take it.
01:04:08Oh, God.
01:04:10Oh.
01:04:11Come on.
01:04:16Oh, my God.
01:04:19Oh.
01:04:19All right?
01:04:28Oh, yes.
01:04:30Having a wonderful time.
01:04:31Good.
01:04:32And on with the hunting.
01:04:33Oh, my God.
01:04:36I don't know what I'll do, Lugaretsia, if Germany...
01:05:06I want to gather all your children.
01:05:17Gather them up and shout at everyone else to keep away.
01:05:25Makes you very selfish.
01:05:26How did that go?
01:05:39Oh.
01:05:41I should ask Larry.
01:05:42Don't say a word.
01:06:00Was that fun?
01:06:01You seem to be missing a shoe.
01:06:03Did you fall in a bug?
01:06:05It's rather windy out there.
01:06:13Oh, dear, I sometimes wonder if you're quite right.
01:06:33Oh, leave me alone.
01:06:37Are you back with us now?
01:06:39Do I look windswept and interesting at all?
01:06:47No, dear.
01:06:53Larry's really hitting the brandy.
01:06:55Well, he's in shock, the poor boy.
01:06:57Hmm.
01:06:58Three, please, was all my God.
01:07:02Oh.
01:07:04No, not the singing.
01:07:06I did a light.
01:07:15Larry?
01:07:20Now, come on.
01:07:22Stop being a fool and drink this down at once.
01:07:24You're a horrible old woman, and I'm sure I've seen you somewhere before.
01:07:29Yes.
01:07:30Well, I put that down to the drink.
01:07:39Not that you're so different when you're sober.
01:07:41Oh.
01:07:44Good for you.
01:07:47Good morning.
01:07:50Good morning.
01:07:50Good morning.
01:07:51Good morning.
01:07:54Fire.
01:08:04Fire.
01:08:06Fire.
01:08:07Fire.
01:08:08Fire.
01:08:08Fire.
01:08:09Fire.
01:08:10Wake up.
01:08:11The house is on fire.
01:08:13No.
01:08:16What's going on?
01:08:18It's not me this time.
01:08:20Larry's on fire.
01:08:21Larry!
01:08:25Larry!
01:08:27For heaven's sake, wake up!
01:08:29Wake up!
01:08:31The room's on fire!
01:08:33You all put it out.
01:08:35I've got a bit of a headache.
01:08:37Pour something on it!
01:08:39No, no, no!
01:08:41Brian, you fool!
01:08:43Please use it. I've had enough.
01:08:45Why did you do that?
01:08:47You're trying to freeze me today.
01:08:49Oh, shut up!
01:08:51Oh, this is nice. Look.
01:08:53Organdy with puffed sleeves.
01:08:57Henry's written a filthy book.
01:08:59Excellent.
01:09:01Oh, now that is...
01:09:03Look at that.
01:09:05Telescopic sight. Bolt action.
01:09:07Great Aunt Hermione wonders how you all are.
01:09:11Mother? I'm buying a chimpanzee.
01:09:13No, you're not.
01:09:15She claims doctors don't hold out much hope for her.
01:09:17Have they ever?
01:09:19She says she was doubtful about us rushing off to Corfu, but after the winter they've had she thinks it wasn't so stupid after all.
01:09:25A chipmunk then?
01:09:27No.
01:09:29Oh, Lord. What?
01:09:31Oh, no.
01:09:33The doctors have advised a warm climate.
01:09:35She's coming to stay.
01:09:37Oh!
01:09:38No!
01:09:39It's grim enough being shown Lugaretsia's latest separating wound without having a great aunt here dying all over the place.
01:09:43Write and tell her there's no room.
01:09:45I can't.
01:09:46I told her the last letter.
01:09:47What a big villa we have.
01:09:48I've got it.
01:09:49I've got it.
01:09:50I'll write to her and tell her that you've died.
01:09:52Larry!
01:09:53Larry!
01:09:55Fine.
01:09:56We'll move to a smaller villa, which will also force Jungle Boy here to get rid of some of his bloody animals.
01:10:01They're less trouble than your silly friends.
01:10:03Oh, yes.
01:10:04Anyway, you're an animal too.
01:10:05Let's get rid of you first.
01:10:07It is too big, this house. The stairs are really tiring.
01:10:11Children, we are not moving again.
01:10:37We moved in, and the bats that were living there moved out.
01:10:43As Margot said, typically, a change is as good as a feast.
01:11:07Shall we take over one another little child of a
01:11:27We are going to see drinking vinegar.
01:11:31Be sure to go take over two days later and be noticed.
01:11:35Lets see.
01:11:36I'm sorry we didn't believe you when you said you got seasick, Birodia.
01:11:53Will you survive?
01:11:59Excuse me?
01:12:01Hello?
01:12:02Stop!
01:12:03I think...
01:12:04How are you doing, Birodia?
01:12:14Feeling better?
01:12:16I thought you should have come by car.
01:12:24I thought you should have come by car.
01:12:26I adore this place.
01:12:44Look away, Margot, dear.
01:12:46Are you all right?
01:12:47No, I'm fine.
01:12:48Yes, no, I'm very good.
01:12:49Look at those gulls flying over.
01:12:50Yes.
01:12:51Yes.
01:12:52All the nice gulls love a sailor.
01:12:54Do you know I should like to be buried here?
01:12:57Oh, make up your mind.
01:12:58I'm afraid I heard on the wireless yesterday that Germany is...
01:12:59Shh.
01:13:00Stop.
01:13:01Let's not spoil it.
01:13:03Son of a bitch.
01:13:04Son of a bitch.
01:13:05Fish.
01:13:06Oof.
01:13:07Son of a bitch.
01:13:08Oof.
01:13:09Oof.
01:13:10Oof.
01:13:11Oof.
01:13:12The magic of the island had settled over us as gently and clean as possible.
01:13:13I'm afraid I heard on the wireless yesterday that Germany is...
01:13:15Shh.
01:13:16Stop.
01:13:17Let's not spoil it.
01:13:20Oof.
01:13:21Oof.
01:13:22Oof.
01:13:23Son of a bitch.
01:13:24Fish.
01:13:25Oof.
01:13:36The magic of the island had settled over us as gently and clingingly as pollen.
01:13:41Each day had a tranquility and timelessness about it.
01:13:45We wished that it would never end.
01:13:48It's never around here.
01:14:03Oof.
01:14:04Oof.
01:14:07Oof.
01:14:08Oof.
01:14:09Oof.
01:14:10Oof.
01:14:11Oof.
01:14:12Oof.
01:14:13Oof.
01:14:14Oof.
01:14:15Oof.
01:14:16Oof.
01:14:17Oh, my God.
01:14:47Where have you been?
01:14:56How do you mean?
01:14:57You've been gone for two days.
01:14:59You knew where I was?
01:15:00No.
01:15:01Where?
01:15:01Out and about.
01:15:03Please.
01:15:05No more long trips.
01:15:09How will you ever put on shoes again and be normal?
01:15:14Oh, do talk to me.
01:15:16You are not a wild animal.
01:15:17I've given up shoes.
01:15:19You're back.
01:15:20What have you bought this time?
01:15:21A willy mammoth?
01:15:22Did you feed everyone?
01:15:23Yes.
01:15:24More or less.
01:15:26Oh, aren't they sweet?
01:15:29Jerry, why do you bring all these animals back?
01:15:32How revolting.
01:15:33Yeah, golly.
01:15:34What's them?
01:15:35Magpies.
01:15:36Oh, maganpies, huh?
01:15:38What you got to do with them bastards?
01:15:40Magpies, Spiro.
01:15:42Magpies.
01:15:43Magpies.
01:15:44Magpies.
01:15:45Here's a maganpies.
01:15:46No.
01:15:47Magpies.
01:15:50Yeah, maganpies.
01:15:52Magpies.
01:15:53Magpies.
01:15:57Magpies.
01:16:00What have you brought now?
01:16:02Here's a maganpies.
01:16:03Worseful thieves, maganpies.
01:16:04Put them back where you found them, Jerry.
01:16:05I can't.
01:16:06Their mother won't take them.
01:16:07I'll train them.
01:16:09It'll be all right.
01:16:11I could easily shoot them if you'd like.
01:16:13No.
01:16:13No.
01:16:13No.
01:16:14No.
01:16:14Come on, ma.
01:16:28You know you want to.
01:16:29No.
01:16:30Change my mind.
01:16:32Too old.
01:16:33Haven't got a figure for swimming.
01:16:35Don't be ridiculous, woman.
01:16:37Come on.
01:16:39If not now, when?
01:16:42Won't be here forever.
01:16:43Oh, get it down.
01:16:56Is it all right?
01:16:57You can't wear that.
01:16:58Looks like it was made in 1920.
01:17:00That's all they had.
01:17:01Sorry.
01:17:02I should have popped over to Paris.
01:17:04Mrs. Darrell, you look splendid.
01:17:06Don't forget to shake the fish out when you come out of the water.
01:17:09Shut up.
01:17:10This is my moment, so I don't want you spoiling it.
01:17:13It's going in.
01:17:14The creature is going in.
01:17:16All right.
01:17:23Let's get the dog.
01:17:24Oh!
01:17:26Oh, he's not much yet.
01:17:28Here, Mrs. Darrell, give me your hand.
01:17:31There, you're all right.
01:17:33You're all right.
01:17:33Oh, the bum monster.
01:17:36Somebody hasn't seen us off for a long time.
01:17:37Oh, my God.
01:17:40Don't be embarrassed.
01:17:42I am a doctor.
01:17:43Although I am off duty at the moment.
01:17:49Oh, my God.
01:17:51Oh, my God.
01:17:53Oh, my God.
01:17:54Oh, my God.
01:17:54Oh, my God.
01:17:55You're just going to make a man out of here.
01:17:57I can't.
01:17:57Oh, my God.
01:17:57Oh, my God.
01:17:58Oh, my God.
01:17:58You should be proud of yourself.
01:18:06Not so sure.
01:18:10Who was it who said,
01:18:12if you can control your family,
01:18:14you've gone terribly wrong somewhere?
01:18:18Aristotle.
01:18:19No.
01:18:22Is it me?
01:18:24Yes.
01:18:25Yes.
01:18:28My mother steered her vessel full of strange progeny
01:18:35through the stormy seas of life with great skill.
01:18:38As Larry rightly pointed out,
01:18:40we can be proud of the way we brought her up.
01:18:44No.
01:18:44No.
01:18:49No.
01:19:04No.
01:19:07No.
01:19:07No.
01:19:08No.
01:19:09No.
01:19:10Oh, it's sodding, boy!
01:19:20And that was that.
01:19:25Oh, I think you're old enough to sort yourselves out.
01:19:29They've made an awful mess of your papers.
01:19:35Those bloody birds.
01:19:38No more wildlife!
01:19:43Gerald! Gerald!
01:19:44Oh, dear, what a pleasure.
01:19:48Oh, dear, what a pleasure.
01:19:53Oh, dear, what a pleasure.
01:20:10I'm afraid I have some bad news, Mrs. Darrell.
01:20:14What's Jerry done?
01:20:17No, nothing.
01:20:19I think you should return to England with your family.
01:20:21Has Larry been annoying people again?
01:20:23Britain and Greece will shortly be engulfed by war.
01:20:26If you leave it too late, you'll have grave difficulties getting back.
01:20:30Britain and Greece will shortly be engulfed by war.
01:20:33If you leave it too late, you'll have grave difficulties getting back.
01:20:39I'll bear to tell Jerry.
01:20:41Oh...
01:20:46Oh!
01:20:47Oh...
01:20:48Oh...
01:20:49Oh!
01:20:52Has Leslie finally shot someone?
01:20:59We have to leave the island.
01:21:08Right.
01:21:10Bad luck, Theo.
01:21:12You get Jerry's animals to look after.
01:21:15Yes, yes.
01:21:16No, I will do it.
01:21:18Theo!
01:21:22So sorry, Jerry.
01:21:29We have to go home.
01:21:52Oh, it feels like I said goodbye to my own people.
01:22:11I feel you belong to me.
01:22:15I'm coming back to you, honestly.
01:22:18You come back, honestly?
01:22:21Goodbye.
01:22:22Bye.
01:22:24Bye.
01:22:25Bye, Marco.
01:22:25I'll miss you.
01:22:26Nice to go.
01:22:29Hey, hey, hey.
01:22:30No more shootings for you now, huh?
01:22:34There's a war on you.
01:22:39Yes, ma'am.
01:22:40All right, get this.
01:22:41Get this, get this.
01:22:43Get this, get this.
01:22:43Get this.
01:22:44Get this.
01:22:44Get this.
01:22:45Get this.
01:22:45Get this.
01:22:46Get this.
01:22:46Get this.
01:22:47Get this.
01:22:48Get this.
01:22:49I'm actually staying, Spiro.
01:22:51Sorry.
01:22:52Sorry.
01:23:01Goodbye, Lugresia.
01:23:02And, uh, good luck with all of your illnesses.
01:23:07But I've scribbled down some essential reading, nothing, you know, too arduous.
01:23:33Well, I think the most important thing is, um, well,
01:23:46I'm sorry. I don't need to cry.
01:24:14Theo! Don't forget to feed Cosimodo! And Spiro! You know Aleko likes fresh sardines!
01:24:40Don't worry!
01:24:40Everything is under control! What is Aleko?
01:24:44The huge angry seagull. You'll need some thick gloves. Good luck.
01:25:05So when are we coming back?
01:25:07Soon, Jerry, soon. After you've had a bit of an education.
01:25:13So what have I just had?
01:25:16I'm not sure.
01:25:25So is it downhill from now on?
01:25:29Yes, I think it is.
01:25:30Shall I fire off a ceremonial ten-gun salute?
01:25:32No!
01:25:33Absolutely not.
01:25:36You know what, Jerry? They're all right, your stories. Not terribly flattering.
01:25:42But pretty good.
01:25:44It was nice to be all together.
01:25:50Yes, it was.
01:25:55What a rude man.
01:25:56What?
01:26:01Description of passengers. One travelling circus and staff.
01:26:05What?
01:26:06Odd thing to write.
01:26:07Some people really are peculiar.
01:26:11Some people really are peculiar.
01:26:12Some people really are peculiar.
01:26:13Some people really are peculiar.
01:26:18Some people really are peculiar.
01:26:20Ooh!
01:26:21ooh!
01:26:22Ooh!
01:26:23Ooh!
01:26:24Ooh!

01:26:29Ooh!
01:26:31Ooh!
01:26:32Ooh!
01:26:38Ooh!
01:26:39Back in England, Mother insisted I went to school, despite my protestation that I liked being half-educated.
01:26:49You were so much more surprised at everything when you were ignorant.
