03:26I'll take a hand if you like.
03:27No thanks.
03:28No, I'm alright.
03:29I'll just...
03:30Here.
03:31Honestly, I could kill that brother of ours.
03:33She trails all the way round here just to hear him say a few...
03:36words on the phone and he leaves it till this time.
03:38Just so long as he rings, that's all.
03:40They'd better add.
03:41Oh David, it's probably gone right out of his head.

05:17My mother would have a peep fit if she knew where I was.
05:19What, you mean this public, innit?
05:21Any of course.
05:22Never said so before.

05:27Hey look, Kate, I'm not a stuck to say look, you know.
05:29Is it something I've said?
05:31You're going on leave tomorrow, aren't you?
05:33Who told you?
05:34Frank you told me while you were out.
05:36I was going to tell him yourself.
05:38What?
05:39I saw it's going to tell you.
05:40It's how it's going to tell you.
05:41It's only a 48 hour to be back Saturday night, come on, chill.
05:46Have another port and lemon.
05:48No, thanks.
05:50Oh, I promised a phone.
05:51Call me mother.
05:52Why?
05:53She's expecting me to.
05:55You know what mother's...
05:56What mothers are like?
05:57Yes.
05:58I know what mothers are like.
06:01It's alright then.
06:02You don't have to ask my permission.
06:03I've watched a match.
06:04Go and get it done.
06:06You're in a right mood tonight, aren't you?
06:09Am I?
06:10Yeah.
06:11Come on, give us a smile.
06:12Come on, give us a smile.
06:16I can't, David.
06:17I can't, David.
06:21I'll go and phone home then.
06:22I'll do one later, eh?
06:23Yeah.
06:24I'll do one later, eh?
06:25Yeah.
06:26Do one later, I'll do one later.
06:27Let's go.
06:28Good.
06:29Good.
06:30Good.
06:31It was the radio side of John 4 really, it's been a hobby with me ever since I made my film
06:36in the first crystal set. Well go on then, put it down.
06:41There you are, that'll teach you to go Mazette.
06:43Alright, clever.
06:45I like it.
06:46So, it's probably David.
06:49My goodness for that, I was going to be alive.
06:51Why?
06:52I mean supposing he couldn't get to a telephone.
06:54You never know about David.
06:56You never know what to explain.
06:58You know what I mean.
06:59Oh, thank you for...
07:01You're sending that money by the way.
07:02You sure you haven't left yourself short?
07:03It seemed an awful lot.
07:05It's alright, forget it.
07:06Are the kids there?
07:07No daft, they're in bed.
07:10I can't keep...
07:11I might till this hour.
07:12Now can I do a bit?
07:13I'll see him tomorrow there.
07:14Yes sir.
07:16You know what?
07:17Oh, what?
07:18Do you mean you've got leave?
07:20Oh dear.
07:21David!
07:22Oh you are rotten.
07:23Why didn't you write and let me know?
07:24You've got a cramp in me right hand.
07:26Hey, he's got leave.
07:27Hang on.
07:28Somebody wants to speak to you.
07:29Come on.
07:30Hello stranger.
07:31Hello there, Maggie.
07:32How's married life then?
07:33I'll give you Maggie.
07:34Here when you're coming then.
07:36Oh.
07:37I'd better pass it back to Sheila.
07:38The pips are going.
07:39Oh quick, yes.
07:40David, hello.
07:41Can't you put some more money?
07:41Are you staying?
07:42No, no.
07:43I'm staying till Friday.
07:44Oh, you have left yourself short, haven't you?
07:46Never mind.
07:47It's Friday tomorrow isn't it?
07:49Oh.
07:50Yes.
07:51Yes I will.
07:51Oh.
07:52Yes.
07:53Yes I will.
07:54Oh.
07:55Oh.
07:56Hey.
07:57Hey.
07:58Hey.
07:59He's coming on leave tomorrow.
08:01Oh, great.
08:02Smashing.
08:03He promised to come in and see me at work.
08:04He's uniform next time.
08:05I'll make sure he does then.
08:06I must rush because...
08:07Really?
08:08Well I want to wash my hair, you know, and...
08:10It's a piece of irritation.
08:11It's a terrible message usual.
08:12So I'll see you all tomorrow.
08:13That's right.
08:14Okay, bye.
08:15We might as well go now.
08:16Because the next bus is the last one.
08:17Oh, yeah.
08:18Oh, okay.
08:19Alright.
08:20Well...
08:21What shall I do about my bike?
08:22Oh.
08:23I haven't bought your bike, have you?
08:24What to do that for?
08:25Well I suppose...
08:26It was...
08:27Were you coming straight from school?
08:28I forgot.
08:29I forgot we were married and living together.
08:31I suppose.
08:32Oh, no.
08:33Oh look, we'll go and put it in the garden shed.
08:34We can collect it on Sunday morning after church.
08:35Yeah, alright.
08:36How are we though?
08:37I don't suppose anyone is going to help me for this long.
08:39What am I?
08:40Come on, break us all.
08:41Do you want some or two?
08:42Yeah.
08:43Okay.
08:44Where are they?
08:45Where are they?
08:46When does your next term start then?
08:49Oh, just have a...
08:50Just have a...
08:51In the four weeks.
08:52If I make it.
08:53What do you mean?
08:54If you make it.
08:56I mean if I go back.
08:57Well I may not.
08:58For various reasons.
09:01What does Dad know?
09:03Philip, he'll be furious.
09:06It was the best thing that ever happened to you going to Oxford.
09:09I know.
09:10I know.
09:11What's the matter now?
09:12Why can't you settle down?
09:14Well I know things are uncertain.
09:16At the moment.
09:17But it may all blow over.
09:19Look, we don't know for sure there's...
09:21We're going to be a war.
09:22Oh, now Max.
09:23Alright.
09:24Suppose there are a lot of people who feel the way you...
09:26You do.
09:27But...
09:28I just can't help hoping.
09:30I can't...
09:31I can't believe it's actually happening really.
09:32Doesn't seem real to me.
09:33We keep getting into these pan...
09:36Panics.
09:37And then it just fizzles out again.
09:39Anyway.
09:40He won't.
09:41Tell Dad about Oxford till you're absolutely sure, will you?
09:44No.
09:45No, of course not.
09:46As a matter of fact, I've got an interview tomorrow.
09:49Oh?
09:50What for?
09:51For a job.
09:51Translating cables.
09:52Well, I just want to know what it's like to...
09:56Work for my living.
09:57Yeah, Margaret.
09:58You're going to make us miss it then.
09:59Oh!
10:01Good night.
10:02Good night.
10:03Good night.
10:06Good night.
10:07Good night.
10:09Good night.
10:10Good night.
10:26Better drink up then.
10:28I've got an invitation for you.
10:33For me?
10:34Sunday dinner at our house.
10:36Hello.
10:38You don't want to come, do you?
10:40No, no, it's not that I don't want to.
10:43That's what you said last time.
10:45Why not?
10:46Why don't you want to?
10:48I only get back off leave Saturday night, you know.
10:51I might not be able to get out on a Sunday.
10:53All right.
10:53Some night next week then.
10:56We're all right as we are.
10:57Aren't we?
10:59Are we?
11:00I don't know.
11:02How do you think...
11:02I think we are.
11:04Well, you know, bring in families and that.
11:07You mean, not serious?
11:11I see.
11:11Oh, Peg, don't have a go at me.
11:14I was right first time, wasn't I?
11:15No, no, no, you weren't.
11:16I mean, you know, later on perhaps.
11:19Later on won't do, Dave.
11:21What do you say?
11:21What are you talking about?
11:22Why won't it do?
11:24Because...
11:26I'm going to have a baby.
11:31It's only in the last few days I've known.
11:36Well, I've seen you in the last few days.
11:39You haven't said anything.
11:40I couldn't believe it.
11:41Somehow I've been worried sick.
11:46You can't be picked.
11:49Can't I?
11:51Oh, look, it's all right.
11:55It's...
11:55It's...
11:56It's...
11:57It's...
11:58It's...
11:59It's...
12:00It's...
12:01You're going on leave tomorrow.
12:04No, no, no, I'm not now.
12:06You don't have to give it up to me.
12:08Well, I can't leave you like this now, can I?
12:11I'm...
12:12I'm all right.
12:14Honestly.
12:14You're all right.
12:16I'm all right.
12:16Will I see you tomorrow, then?
12:21Yeah, of course.
12:21Of course.
12:23Shh.
12:23Don't cry.
12:24It's all right, love.
12:26Alan!
12:31Alan!
12:31Go, man!
12:36What can we do for you?
12:40Spare proofs I brought back from Australia.
12:41No questions.
12:43No client's corrections.
12:45Yeah, they want to delete one line of money.
12:46I've marked it.
12:47There's nothing else.
12:48I'll be with you in a minute, Father.
12:50Sing out if you found any snags.
12:51Brew your awesome tea shortly.
12:53Good, good.
12:55Brewing tea for the men.
12:56Well, short of bringing Mrs. Agerton, it seems the least I can do.
13:01Well, they're working flat out on Jackson's catalogue.
13:03It's damn late.
13:04They're getting paid for it, aren't they?
13:06They're getting paid for it, aren't they?
13:06Yes, Father.
13:08Take it from me, lad.
13:09You undermine the relationship between...
13:11Brewing buster a man, and you'll be giving a mile before you know where you are.
13:16I doubt it.
13:16You and Grandfather built some pretty tough foundations in that area.
13:21A pot of tea's not going to wash them away.
13:24Edward not here?
13:25Well, he's been here.
13:26Later than this every night this week.
13:28I wasn't getting at him.
13:31How long has he been here?
13:31A lot of you have been in charge here now.
13:34Sure to know that.
13:36You've put me here.
13:38Just over a year, actually.
13:40I suppose you'll be wanting...
13:41A lot of you have changed before long.
13:45No.
13:46As a matter of fact, I'm quite enjoying my little self.
13:50Why?
13:51Not Edwin Coping, is he?
13:53I told you at the time, you can run this place without my help.
13:56Yes, sir.
13:56So you did.
13:58Yes, sir, you did.
14:00Yes, you're very friendly, you and Edwin.
14:01Don't you?
14:05A lot of fun.
14:06Well, I'll be going...
14:11I'll be home.
14:15I expect you to be...
14:16Stopping to make the tea.
14:20Well, you needn't wait up for me.
14:21No, I won't wait up for you.
14:24Think over what I've said.
14:26About what...
14:26They say it's as good as a rest, don't they?
14:31Yeah.
14:32I'll be home.
15:06Worth the walk, was it?
15:10Very funny.
15:16I just made the wagon myself.
15:21Me and May, we had a bit of a barney.
15:23And Matlow's coming on leave next Friday.
15:25He wants them to get engaged.
15:26So, what do you want then, kid?
15:29I don't know.
15:31I reckon I'm alright as I am.
15:35No problem then, is it?
15:36I don't know.
15:38I don't know.
15:40You know what you want me to take it out for a little-
15:41I don't know.
15:42I'll leave tomorrow.
15:43I'm not, I'm giving it a miss.
15:45You what?
15:47I'm...
15:48I don't know.
15:48Let's go get some sleep, baby kid.
15:49Let's go get some sleep, baby kid.
15:50I don't know.
15:51I don't know.
15:52I don't know.
15:53Yeah, you're all right.
15:58All right, dude.
15:58Good night.
16:03You know...
16:08I thought I might get myself a trouser price now
16:10for not buying that car.
16:13You spent that money twice already in your mind.
16:19Do you know that?
16:20Yeah, I suppose I have.
16:21Still, a trouser price shouldn't cost all that much.
16:23Have you seen Sefton Lane?
16:28He calls in at the works once and once in a week.
16:31Why?
16:32He came here the other night.
16:33While you were out having a drink with Tony.
16:36He never told me.
16:38I forgot.
16:41Anyway.
16:43It was...
16:43There's plenty he wanted to see.
16:46I think he's lonely.
16:48Lonely.
16:52It's okay.
16:53Just the two of them and that big house.
16:57And Tony seems...
16:58He spends most of his time around here these days.
17:00Yes, he does, doesn't he?
17:02Shall I put the light out or you're going to read?
17:03No.
17:07I don't think I'll put those in a while.
17:08No.
17:09Here we go.
17:13Edwin
17:18Don't you think you ought to have a word with Tony?
17:21About what, love?
17:23Suggest him
17:23He might stay home a little more
17:25Well, what's the point?
17:27You know what things are like between him
17:28Shifting
17:29Yes, I know
17:33Why is it that
17:35Sometimes I can remember Sefton as he was when we were
17:38Children together
17:39And I seem to feel as
17:43If I want to
17:44Put out my hand
17:46And comfort him
17:48He'll be alright
17:49When Jill comes back from Australia
17:53Even so
17:54It's a big
17:56Empty place
17:58They should have left there when Edith died
18:03There go the street lamps
18:06Who was it said

20:53My life.
20:57Come on.
20:58I'm afraid you can do better than that.
21:01You're well brought up lad, aren't you?
21:03I remember you were seeing your prayers the first night I walked in here.
21:08Look, it's time we're off to the wreck here.
21:10You thought you were doing me a favour, didn't you?
21:12Keeping it quiet to...
21:13Peg about me being married.
21:15Yeah, well I didn't think it ended like this, did I?
21:19I just thought it'd be...
21:22Well, you know...
21:24All good clean fun, you mean?
21:26Yeah.
21:28I bet you've never hardly ever kissed a...
21:31What's her name?
21:32May.
21:33Yeah, me.
21:34Yeah, well don't laugh at me, Dave.
21:35I'm not!
21:38Anyway, that's how it starts out, isn't it?
21:41Two of us, two of them.
21:42Boom!
21:43Only I happen to be married.
21:49She's...
21:51She's a nice girl, you know?
21:53You know what I mean, Frank?
21:55She wouldn't have had anything to do with me if she'd known she's not like that.
22:03You'll have to tell her, Dave.
22:14I'm sorry I'm late.
22:15Mr Foster thought I'd gone.
22:17I was half asleep.
22:18I don't want you overslept, Alan.
22:20Told me what time you left here last night.
22:23Hello?
22:25Hello, Phillip.
22:26What's to do?
22:27What?
22:27What?
22:27What?
22:28What?
22:28What?
22:28What?
22:28What?
22:29Oh my god, they haven't won.
22:34Yes, well I suppose it'll have to be. Can you make a start on it?
22:38No!
22:39I'm glad you rang.
22:41Alright son, goodbye.
22:44Germans have invaded Poland.
22:50Thank god.
22:51There's a blackout tonight.
22:54That'll be fun.
22:58I suppose this is...
22:59Yes, I can't see it's wriggling out of this one.
23:02It also means we can't work a late show.
23:04Not unless we do something about those roof lights.
23:08Yeah, well if dad had let it go...
23:09Let us paint them out all that blackout stuff and not worry about the electricity.
23:13Thanks.
23:14Well, I wonder if Jacksons will accept imminent...
23:19War is an excuse for late delivery.
23:20I doubt it, though it comes to the crunch they'll have to, I suppose.
23:24Well, there could be another false alarm.
23:25We've had so many.
23:26I doubt it, this time.
23:30What are we gonna do?
23:31Carry on turning out Jacksons catalogues, I suppose that's what we're...
23:34paid for then.
23:35You know, you're absolutely right.
23:40I'm sorry, that's your copyright, isn't it?
23:42What?
23:45Well, it's one of your sayings.
23:46Is it?
23:47You're absolutely right.
23:49Oh, hello, love.
23:52Oh, hello, love.
23:54What are you doing in this part of the world?
23:56Besides troubling the world.
23:58Um...
23:59I'll go and have a word with Alan.
24:00Thanks, sir.
24:01How's the intrepid aviator, then?
24:02Yeah.
24:03He's all right.
24:05It's only good.
24:06Well, sit down, love.
24:07Thanks.
24:09I love this thing.
24:10Yeah.
24:11Sandwich.
24:12Mmm, nice, I'd love them.
24:13A cup of tea.
24:14Yes.
24:15You don't mind using my cup, do you?
24:16No.
24:17Got a drink out of that sign, eh?
24:19There's nothing wrong, is there, love?
24:24Oh, Dad.
24:25I don't know what to do about the children.
24:29We had somebody round last night about evacuation.
24:31A timely visit.
24:32Have you heard the news?
24:33Yeah, a woman told me.
24:34On the ferry, coming over here.
24:35Have you talked to David about it?
24:36Well, he's talked to Bill.
24:37He's talked to Bill.
24:38Well, he's talked to Bill.
24:39He's reading his letters.
24:40He wants them to go.
24:41And you don't.
24:42Is that it?
24:43I don't know.
24:44Well, I want to do what's best for them, naturally.
24:46Well, you don't have to convince me of that, love.
24:48You see, they...
24:49I felt it bad enough.
24:50When David went away, far more than he realised, as if to lose me is...
24:54Well, and I suppose some people might think that...
24:59I just want to hang on to them because of him.
25:01Well, if they weren't there...
25:04There might not be any reason for him to come back, might there?
25:07I don't believe that, you know.
25:09But marriages do keep going just because of the children.
25:13David's...
25:14Very fond of you, love.
25:16Yeah.
25:17It is fond enough, though, to have...
25:19That...
25:20That...
25:21That...
25:22That...
25:23That...
25:24That...
25:25That...
25:26That...
25:27That...
25:28That...
25:29That...
25:30That...
25:31That...
25:32That...
25:33That...
25:34Yeah.
25:35It's a bit of a risk, though.
25:36I've got a seat, haven't I?
25:37Yeah, it's not even dark.
25:38Well, you better wish me luck, then.
25:39Oh, you're mad!
25:40You're right!
25:41You're right!
25:44Good night, Miss Ashton.
25:47Good night, Alan.
25:48Did you check the roof lights?
25:49By the way.
25:50Not a glimmer.
25:51You wouldn't send anything from the street, anyway.
25:52It's not people looking from the street, we're supposed to be...
25:54worried about, is it?
25:55Oh, that's true.
25:56Headless!
25:57Oh, Sefton.
25:58Good night, Mr. Ashton.
25:59Good night, Mr. Bliggs.
25:59Well, nicely black-toed, I see.
26:01We'll have to paint out the roof lights, there was no other way.
26:03It's a bad business...
26:04Mr. Edwin.
26:05Nothing new, I suppose.
26:06Not to my knowledge.
26:07It's like the black hole of Calcutta out there.
26:09I've just been to a Chamber of Commerce meeting for five miles an hour.
26:12I should have had more sense.
26:14I thought I might give you a lift back since I was over here.
26:16I'm good of you.
26:18I must...
26:19Tony to come back to the shop.
26:20Oh?
26:21You have?
26:22You said nothing?
26:23Not to me, no.
26:25He's declined the offer.
26:26I see.
26:27Yes, he's declined.
26:29Why are you telling me, Sefton?
26:30Well, you think a lot of the lad, don't you, Edwin?
26:32Yes, I do.
26:33He's doing a good job.
26:34The job you might have had.
26:36I don't grudge a mid-sefton.
26:38Oh, he's...
26:39The policeman, you're not working here.
26:40All credit to you.
26:41Credit to him, Edwin.
26:42Even so...
26:44Oh, you've done well with him.
26:45I'm grateful to you, Edwin.
26:47I just happen to think the time has come...
26:49for the light to move on, that's all.
26:51I need hardly say that you'd be taking over...
26:54But he's turned it down, hasn't he?
26:59I reckon we'd better get started, don't you?
27:04Be careful.
27:05I don't want to say that.
27:19Thanks.
27:24I feel I'm sticking out like a sore thumb with the fellas not vein in.
27:29I'm sorry. I shouldn't have asked you to come here, should I?
27:32It's all right, love. I couldn't care less.
27:34Call everybody love, don't you?
27:39Peg, don't.
27:43Don't what?
27:44Don't start saying I don't care for you, because I do.
27:48I wouldn't be here...
27:49What if I didn't know, would I?
27:51No.
27:52I suppose not.
27:54You all right then?
27:58That was...
27:59The same.
28:00How about you?
28:03Yeah, I reckon.
28:04The same.
28:09So what do we talk about?
28:12You don't have to give me time, Peg.
28:14Meaning you don't want to talk about that?
28:16No, no, I just couldn't make sense right now.
28:19I wanted on it, had you?
28:21Well, you don't, do you?
28:24Look, you are sure, aren't you?
28:29You haven't said anything, have you?
28:34That's all I mean.
28:36No.
28:38I'm...
28:39I'm dreading it, Dave.
28:40We'll sort it out.
28:41I mean, even if I could just...
28:43We'll sort it out.
28:44It's up to you, that, isn't it?
28:50Your dad a big fella.
28:52Don't joke about it, Dave.
28:54I am sorry.
29:00Are you going to ring home?
29:03No.
29:05Won't they be wondering where you've got to?
29:07No, they've heard the news by now.
29:10Bit of luck that for me, you know.
29:12Jelly's going into Poland.
29:14Yeah, that's an ill wind that blows nobody a bit of good.
29:19Not a time for bringing kids into the world, is it?
29:24Do you like kids, Dave?
29:29Oh, dude.
29:30There's only five...
29:32Oh, dude, there's only five...
29:34Ten minutes to the last bus.
29:35He's not going to ring now.
29:37Phew.
29:39Well, I don't know what to do.
29:40Well, perhaps they won't let them out, things being as they are.
29:45I think David would want the children to go, love.
29:48I'm sure.
29:49Oh, yes.
29:50He wants them to go, all right.
29:51But then it's no wrench to him, is it?
29:53What about them?
29:55Those children have never been out of my sight before,
29:57except for the odd night at me mother's.
29:59How do you think they're going to feel?
30:01Well, you wouldn't want to risk anything happening to them, now would you?
30:05How do I know what's going to happen to them when I'm not there?
30:08It's not just...
30:09the bombing that I'm worried about.
30:11What is it then, love?
30:14Well, for one thing, there's...
30:16there's Peter.
30:17He started to wet the bed every day.
30:19Ever since David joined the Raff, he's wet the bed.
30:21Now, what's going to happen to him when he wakes up in a strange house?
30:24in the middle of the night and starts crying.
30:26What do you think they're going to do when they find out why?
30:28They're belting...
30:29He's wet him, most likely.
30:30See, nobody's going to tell them about his daddy going off or how much...
30:34He loves him and he misses him.
30:36Little Peter.
30:37All day, all day.
30:39all the time, he's asking about David.
30:41Now, who's going to be there to tell him?
30:43Or even...
30:44to care that he's all mixed up in his little head about it.
30:48Nobody knows.
30:49He knows but me.
30:50I know, love.
30:51But you've got to be sensible.
30:53Mum...
30:54I wouldn't let anything happen to them.
30:55You know I wouldn't.
30:56Not if they were with me.
30:57And anyway, I'd...
30:59I don't think anything is.
31:00I just can't believe it.
31:01Well, I don't believe it either but we don't know for sure.
31:04You've got a neighbouring job down at the decontamination centre working on gas.
31:07He says it's ridiculous and he says even if...
31:09even if anything did happen they wouldn't be able to cope.
31:12That's probably right too.
31:13Yes, Philip.
31:14It wouldn't make any difference where they were would it?
31:19Oh dear.
31:20Well, I'll have to go or I'll miss the bus.
31:23I'll come with you.
31:24love.
31:25Philip's dimmed one of the torches.
31:27Philip?
31:28If David does read...
31:29Can you just tell him that I shall do what I think for the best?
31:32Sure.
31:34Good night.
31:35Good night.
31:36I shan't be long, love.
31:39Okay, mom.
31:42See you.
31:43See you.
31:44Margaret said to tell you...
31:49be going on Saturday now. That's tomorrow. Yes.
31:54So if you do decide, she said, would you have them here by 12?
31:57Oh, well.
31:59Well, we'll have to see, won't we?
32:04It does happen.
32:09I don't think I'm going to like it at all.
32:11Did you expect to?
32:12I don't mean bombs.
32:14I mean, things like Sheila and the kids and John being called up.
32:19Have you been out in the gloom yet?
32:22It's like the end of the world.
32:24One of the many facets of war, love.
32:26Oh, don't be so clever.
32:29Sorry, Fred.
32:31It's just the way they teach us to talk at university.
32:34How are you going to get back?
32:39I'll hitch it if I'm lucky.
32:42Will you be all right getting in?
32:44Yeah, yeah.
32:48Is your book?
32:49No, no.
32:51No, no.
32:54Well, yes, sort of, yeah.
32:56Not what we'd planned, is it?
32:59No.
33:04Remember when you first took me to the bus, that night after the bus?
33:09The dance last Christmas.
33:11You only did it so that May could go out.
33:14You started with Frank, didn't you?
33:18Yeah, I suppose.
33:19You never did.
33:20Wish you hadn't.
33:22To you.
33:24In a way.
33:27Yeah.
33:29It depends, doesn't it?
33:31What becomes of us, I mean.
33:34Oh, David, I've got to ask you.
33:35You haven't said, and I've got to know.
33:38Look, it'll be all right.
33:38If I can...
33:39Just tell Mum and Dad that we'll be getting married.
33:41It'll be all right.
33:43Just...
33:44Just give me time.
33:47Just give me time to work.
33:49Just give me time to work it out, eh?
33:53Which...
33:54Which side was it, Philip, sir, the light was showing?
33:56The left, dear.
33:57I wonder if it means my left...
33:59The left from here is from down the...
34:00Oh, perhaps I better do both sides.
34:04What's that stuff he's put on the lampshade?
34:08I don't know.
34:09I can't see to read at all.
34:12Yes, well, we'll get it all sorted out and you...
34:14Of course.
34:17It was good of Sefton.
34:19To bring you home.
34:20He wanted to talk to me about Tony.
34:23He wants him back...
34:24The shop and I'd take over the works.
34:26He said that.
34:27Tony doesn't want to go.
34:29He's probably wondering what I'm wondering.
34:31Why?
34:32Doesn't that up?
34:34I'm afraid it's envy, dear.
34:37Envy?
34:39Hmm.
34:40You get on too well, you and Tony.
34:43Await.
34:44Watched it happening.
34:46You've become more of a father to him than Sefton.
34:49Can't you see that?
34:51Can't you see that?
34:54All right.
34:56Well, thank you.
34:59Is there light from the hall shining through the dining window?
35:05Well, I shut the door now.
35:07Well, it's all your sort of practice.
35:09Why is it? I got the impression it was a bit more serious than that.
35:13They better declare war.
35:14And let's get on with it, then.
35:16Well said, Father.
35:19Well, I'm coming to think that that chap Churchill might be right.
35:22Well, well, well, better...
35:24Later, never.
35:26I made some tea if you'd like a cup.
35:28I...
35:29No, thanks.
35:31I've imbibed rather freely at other springs.
35:34Yes, I can see that.
35:35You seem well able to hold it.
35:39I'm very free with the compliments tonight.
35:43Do you have to...
35:44to talk to me as if I was a distant relative?
35:49That's very good.
35:52I must remember that.
35:53Tony!
35:59Yes.
36:00I'm trying to talk to you.
36:10Yes.
36:20We've talked a lot about you and I, Joe.
36:21I'll tell you one of the things she said to me...
36:23After God, rather than you...
36:24I wish you and our Tony could get along a little better, she said.
36:26Look, Dad, there's no...
36:29Look, let's just get to the point, shall we?
36:34If I stay on at the works, I shall be standing in Uncle Edwin's way.
36:38I'm sure that must...
36:39Still occurred to you.
36:40It's you I'm concerned about.
36:42Concerned?
36:44Oh, my God, you'll have me in tears in a minute.
36:46I've said I'm concerned, and I am.
36:49I think I'd better get to bed.
36:51You can give me your instructions in the morning.
36:54Oh, yes, you've won another victory, Father.
37:04You can learn a lesson from me, Frankie.
37:07I can't be all that...
37:09How many fellas have landed themselves twice?
37:13Twice?
37:14Yeah.
37:17And so I came to get mad.
37:19And so I found it in the first place.
37:22Septon Park.
37:24Shiva.
37:28Shiva.
37:29Shiva.
37:31She said, I'm pregnant.
37:32She said, I'm pregnant.
37:33She said, I'm pregnant.
37:34Just like that.
37:37I'm pregnant.
37:39I felt like being sick on the grass.
37:44We were alright though, Sheila and me.
37:49We used to slang each other a bit at first, you know, but...
37:54We were alright in the end, you know?
37:59It's not a natural life this for a bloke, you know?
38:02Not a married bloke.
38:04It'd be plenty like me if this lot gets going.
38:09The lot that don't do, weren't they, Dave?
38:12Don't get a chance, you mean?
38:13No.
38:14No, I mean, just don't.
38:16And wives and kids and so on.
38:20You're lecturing me.
38:22Maybe.
38:25You said I could learn.
38:27I didn't say you could teach me.
38:29Not me.
38:30Not me.
38:32No.
38:34I know me.
38:37Now I am.
38:39I mean, you know, Sheila's...
38:44Fine.
38:45Only she's not here, is she?
38:47I mean, it's not just down to the other, you know?
38:49It's...
38:51I...
38:53I...
38:54You know, they look up to you, women.
38:58A woman...
38:59A woman makes you feel somebody.
39:04One, a woman's heart, man.
39:05She's not here, no, a woman.
39:08A woman's heart, shouldn't you?
39:14I'm back!
39:19Four parts of sugar from Thomases, four from Ackroyd in my arms.
39:24I'm silly dropping off.
39:25Have you packed fuel there yet?
39:26More or less.
39:27We're not going till tomorrow, you know.
39:29Hey, Mum.
39:30Do you think you ought to?
39:32Well, I mean, it seems mad to me...
39:34That's where things are.
39:35They all fizzle out like it did last time.
39:37No.
39:38Your father and I...
39:39I've talked it over and we're definitely going.
39:42Anybody seen last night's echo?
39:44Under that cushion, dear.
39:45Oh, thank you.
39:47Okay, what does Margaret come in?
39:49She's here about two o'clock.
39:51Oh, that'll be Sheila with the children.
39:53Let them in, will you dear?
39:54Looking for a job?
39:55What do you mean, looking for a job?
39:57What do you mean, looking for a job?
39:59Mum, I've got one.
40:00What do you mean?
40:01I've got a job, Mum.
40:04You mean for the holidays?
40:07No.
40:08I've got a job.
40:09Hello.
40:10Hello, Sheila.
40:11Where are the children?
40:12Hello, Sheila.
40:13Where are the children?
40:14They're at me mother's.
40:15I'm not letting them go.
40:17Oh, now she...
40:19You know, I've thought a lot about it and I know that some people are, but I don't think
40:22it's right.
40:23But for this...
40:24Oh, dear sakes, love.
40:25I can't.
40:26I'm sorry.
40:27I can't do it.
40:28I can't...
40:29Tie a label round their necks and back them off on a train to God knows where.
40:33I can't do it.
40:34How are they going to feel?
40:36I think you're making a mistake, love.
40:39Mum's right, Sheila.
40:40Is she?
40:41What do you know about it?
40:42How many children have you got, Philip?
40:44I'm sorry, but I can't even bear talking about it.
40:47I just wish you'd change...
40:49I don't believe anything is going to happen.
40:51I mean, it can't, can it?
40:54Bombs.
40:55Who's going to drop bombs on children?
40:59I'm sorry.
41:00How many children have you got here?
41:01I'm sorry.
41:02I'm sorry.
41:03I'm sorry.
41:04I don't know.
41:09Your feet, they hump, do you know that?
41:14You watch it again.
41:19How?
41:25Have a fag.
41:28Hey, I'm off out again.
41:30Yeah, well, I wouldn't if I were you. It's not just any old time, is it?
41:33Yeah, yeah, I know, but I've got to see...
41:35Yeah, with all this going on, you can land yourself in real trouble.
41:38Trouble?
41:40What am I in but bloody trouble?
41:41Well, you're not going to help her if you're caught, are you?
41:43Oh, don't.
41:44It's all wet.
41:45Well, I'm trying to warn you.
41:47You sound just like my big sister.
41:49I didn't know that.
41:51You were warned, David. I told you not to do it, David. You knew it was wrong, David.
41:54What do you know about it anyway? I bet you've never been in trouble in your bloody life, have you?
41:59You're too good to be true, Frankie.
42:04Thank you so much.
42:09I'm sorry, kid.
42:14You're right. She's right. You're all right.
42:19It's me that's wet. Bloody wet.
42:24I'm sorry, kid.
42:29I'm sorry, kid.
42:34You've got your shoes, haven't you?
42:39And you'll be a good boy for Miss Ashton and do what she tells you.
42:43And you'll soon see your mother.
42:44I'm sorry, kid.
42:49Mommy's still crying, isn't she?
42:54I'm sorry, kid.
42:59I'm sorry.
43:04I'm sorry, kid.
43:05I'm sorry, kid.
43:06I'm sorry, kid.
43:08I'm sorry, kid.
43:09Is there which is so much debated about her feeling, Mrs Edwards?
43:12How will I know?
43:14We'll discuss why they're all messages and we'll post them.
43:17Oh, I'm not sure if they're in the process.
43:19What's wrong?
43:20What's wrong?
43:21What's wrong?
43:22What's wrong?
43:23Oh, my God.
43:24Have you got a label?
43:27Oh, that's lovely.
43:29Oh, my God.
43:30That's fine.
43:34Oh, I can see you.
43:35Where's your real smile, sir, Tessa?
43:37Oh, Jack is gone.
43:39And you were asked to bring an enameled plate and a mug.
43:41I didn't know it.
43:42Oh, dear.
43:44Natha, please.
43:45Hi, everybody.
43:46Natha, would you come over here?
43:49Now, who's not got an enameled plate and a mug?
43:54I have an enameled plate.
43:55Oh, dear.
43:56Hardly anyone.
43:57I have this.
43:58I have this.
43:59Oh, that's okay.
43:59Good girl.
44:00I have this.
44:01I have this.
44:02I have this.
44:03I have this.
44:04I have this.
44:07Margaret.
44:09I have this.
44:10I have this.
44:11I have to report to the general hall.
44:14No.
44:15Here.
44:16Hola.
44:17I'm just off with the children.
44:18Yes, yes.
44:20You don't know where you're going?
44:22No, I don't.
44:23No, I don't.
44:25Well, you'll let me have an address, won't you?
44:27Yes, yes.
44:28Of course.
44:29Goodbye, Margaret.

46:07Goodbye.
46:08Goodbye.
45:44I mean, here we are. A war could be declared any minute.
45:47Somehow I don't feel like getting into a sweat.
45:49Just to help Jackson sell ladies' foundation garments.
45:54Shouldn't we be sharpening our swords or something?
45:56Well, if the tool is to sharpen our swords,
45:58I dare say we'll get stuck into it.
45:59Failing that, I reckon life just goes on.
46:01Foundation garments and all.
46:03Yes, I suppose it does.
46:04Yep, you might just check those when you've got time, will you?
46:07Yes, of course.
46:09I've...
46:14I've got some news for you, by the way.
46:17News?
46:18Yes.
46:19I'm leaving.
46:23Going to...
46:24Go to the shop.
46:25Good decision.
46:28You...
46:29You mean, was I asked or was I told?
46:31Something like that, yes.
46:33You know, in an odd sort of way...
46:34I was asked.
46:37Well, you'll take over here, of course.
46:39Or perhaps I should say, I'm asking if you'd be willing to take over.
46:44Well, they haven't been running the place anyway.
46:46I told you it would be a long time ago.
46:47Do you remember?
46:48That wasn't why you...
46:49Did it, was it, son?
46:51Oh, no, no, no.
46:53No, it wasn't that.
46:54No, but the fact is that...
46:59Well, I told him.
47:02I said I couldn't guarantee to get on with Carter.
47:04He didn't seem to mind.
47:08I've always taken second place to...
47:09Carter in the past.
47:12Well, you can't help being impressed, can you?
47:14For one second...
47:14Once in his life, he actually seems to be seeing something from my point of view.
47:17It's quite shattering, really, when he'd been used to being treated...
47:19...as a convenience.
47:21Not that I have to explain that to you.
47:23Tony...
47:24I had a message to pass to your father.
47:28Apparently he wasn't at the shop.
47:29...that I thought he might be here.
47:30Oh?
47:31To his car, he asked me to tell your father that he definitely wouldn't be back.
47:34He's been called up.
47:39How's Frankie, then?
47:44Oh, he's in great shape, love.
47:48Oh.
47:49Good.
47:49Good.
47:54My dad says there's going to be a war.
47:56No way out of it, he says.
47:58Yeah, he says.
47:59That's right, love.
48:01Hey, Harry comes home on Friday.
48:04Is that your naval friend, is it?
48:07Yes.
48:08He's very nice.
48:09I'll be back in a minute.
48:13What's the matter with you?
48:14Hey, Peg.
48:15Do you think she's all right?
48:18You know, I don't think she's...
48:19...walked a bit well lately.
48:21Are you and Frank finished, then?
48:23I suppose...
48:24...as he told you, did he?
48:25Well, yeah, sort of.
48:28Well, what about you and...
48:29Peg?
48:32I don't know.
48:34Is that why she seems so miserable?
48:37Yeah.
48:39I just remembered I got a phone home.
48:44You knew...
48:49...not who was on the reserve.
48:50Of course I knew he was on the reserve.
48:52I didn't know they'd take him at this notice, though, did I?
48:54Didn't you?
48:54What about you, Father?
48:55He's not the only one, you know.
48:56We lost Townsend, Kershaw and Brown as well, all in one day.
48:59What are you getting at?
49:00Isn't that why you wanted me at the shop?
49:02Because you knew he was going to leave you in a jam
49:03and you wanted somebody who knew...
49:04...the ropes.
49:04I've told you why I wanted you at the shop.
49:06Oh, yes, so you.
49:07What I said, I meant.
49:08Well, I'm sorry I won't be able to have...
49:09What I said, I meant.
49:14Coco?
49:15Oh, you're the sweetheart.
49:17Hey, I'm sorry to hear about your Hollywood...
49:19...but I'm glad you're not going all the same.
49:21Not going?
49:22Well, didn't Mum ring you?
49:23There was a car...
49:24...from Scarborough in the afternoon post.
49:25The hotel's been taken over.
49:27Oh.
49:28Well, that's that then.
49:29You were looking forward to it, weren't you?
49:31Yes, I was.
49:34Pipes, that's hot.
49:36Is your mother still talking to David?
49:38Yes, it sounds like he's going to...
49:39...going on a bit about the kids not being evacuated.
49:41Sheila decided against it, did she?
49:43Well, I...
49:44I think she's right, don't you?
49:45I don't know, love.
49:46It's a personal matter between the two of them.
49:49I don't think we should interfere.
49:54I don't think we should...
49:55I don't think we should...
49:57I don't think we should...
49:59...but he tells you something on the phone.
50:00What can you do about it?
50:01Nothing.
50:03The life's not your own when you're in this...
50:04...lots.
50:06Things have been different if I'd stayed at home.
50:08Back me to...
50:09...to me, for instance.
50:10No, I didn't mean that.
50:14I've told them.
50:19Told who, what?
50:21My mother and father.
50:24I had to.
50:26I got into a state and it...
50:29It all came out.
50:32I told my mother and...
50:34She told Dad.
50:39Oh, God.
50:41So, Dad phoned somebody at the camp?
50:44To ask about you.
50:49They took it all right, really.
50:54Till Dad phoned up.
50:58He wanted to...
50:59...come and see you.
51:02But I told him not to.
51:04You phoned your wife.
51:09Nothing.
51:11No, no, no.
51:12It was, uh...
51:13It was me mother...
51:14So, what's gonna happen then?
51:19They're going to see to everything.
51:22Only I'm not to see you again.
51:24Not after tonight.
51:27Look.
51:29Look, Peg, that night, you know, I...
51:31I had a drop too much to drink.
51:33You know that, don't you?
51:34Yeah.
51:36Don't say that, David.
51:37Look, look, I...
51:37That's...
51:38I don't mean that I was...
51:39I don't mean I didn't have a...
51:42Oh...
51:44All right.
51:46All right.
51:49I don't know what I mean.
51:54How many children have you?
51:57Two.
51:59Don't you love your wife then?
52:04Yeah, yeah, I suppose I do.
52:09I don't know what I mean.
52:13Voilà.
52:14I've got to go now.
52:17No, don't go just yet.
52:18Dad's waiting.
52:19I'm waiting in the car down the road.
52:20Please, not just yet.
52:21Let me go, David.
52:22Please, I...
52:24I feel like dirt.
52:25David, please.
52:29You hate me, don't you?
52:30I don't know.
52:34Please.
52:38I'm so...
52:39Nobody pick.
52:44Bye, David.
52:49Bye, David.
52:54Bye, David.
52:59Morning, Dad.
53:03Morning, son.
53:04Mamma, have you gone to church?
53:05Yes.
53:06If you want any breakfast,
53:07you'll have to get it yourself.
53:09All right.
53:09Oh, this will do.
53:11Thanks for a nice day.
53:12Yes.
53:13Gets us off to a good start.
53:14Doesn't it?
53:15Yeah.
53:17Start till what?
53:18Chamberlain's due to...
53:19Speak any minute.
53:21Oh.
53:22Yes, I was about to do some speaking as a matter of time.
53:24Yes, I thought you might.
53:25About that job you've been and got yourself.
53:28Your mother told me.
53:30She expected me to blow up, I think.
53:32And I might have done any other time.
53:34With this thing hanging over us,
53:36you not going back to Oxford
53:37doesn't seem to be quite so important.
53:39All of a sudden.
53:40Yeah, I see what you mean.
53:42Really is a lovely day, isn't it?
53:44I think we all ought to go out
53:45this afternoon
53:46and make the most of it.
53:48Well, at least we all know where
53:49we stand.
53:50You know,
53:50I found myself listening for enemy planes
53:53is when I was...
53:54I was out there weeding just now
53:55as if the whole thing
53:56was going to start at any minute.
53:58Yeah, I've had the same feeling myself.
53:59I don't know what we're grinning at, do you?
54:01No.
54:03Oh, here it comes.
54:04I've now heard a statement
54:05by the Prime Minister.
54:09I am speaking to you
54:12from the camera.
54:14in the cabinet room
54:15at 10 Downing Street.
54:19This morning,
54:20the British ambassador in Berlin
54:22ended the...
54:24German government
54:25the final note
54:27stating that...
54:29Unless we heard from them
54:31by 11 o'clock
54:33the day...
54:34they were prepared at once
54:36to withdraw their troops
54:37from Poland.
54:39a state of war
54:40would exist between us.
54:44I have to tell you now
54:45that no such undertaking
54:48has been received.
54:49and that consequently
54:51this country
54:53is...
54:54at war
54:55with Germany.
