01:52No, saved by the bell, yeah?
01:54Is this a man here from the car?
01:55Council, he wants a word with you about your rapes.
01:57About my rapes?
01:58Yes.
01:59Well, you know, it all depends.
02:00What he wants me to do.
02:01I mean, what's he like?
02:01Is he nice?
02:02No, not very.
02:03He's got a court order.
02:06A what?
02:07A court order, sir, in the name of Mr. Robin Tripp.
02:10Non-payment of rates.
02:12No, you see, I don't deal with...
02:13Sorry, what's your name?
02:14Watkins.
02:15It's Sydney Watkins.
02:16Well, I'm sorry, Sydney, but I don't do...
02:17It's her dad.
02:18Her dad.
02:20James Nichols, you see, he's a half owner.
02:22He deals with them.
02:23Well, obviously, he hasn't been dealing with...
02:25with them, sir, and it's in your name.
02:27If you don't pay your rates by the 29th, we will have to...
02:30seize goods to the value of the amount owed.
02:33What?
02:33Oh, surely you have to take...
02:35take him to court first.
02:36We already have, miss.
02:37How did I get on?
02:37I'm afraid you lost.
02:40Good afternoon, everybody.
02:42Hey, what's all this about?
02:44Hmm?
02:45Ah, good, yes.
02:47I've been expecting this.
02:48Listen, how come I'm responsible...
02:50all of a sudden?
02:50I had them transferred to your name when you married...
02:53Victoria.
02:53Oh, thank you very much.
02:55Perhaps I forgot to tell you.
02:56Yes.
02:57Well, I can't go on mothering you forever, young man.
03:00Oh, they are much more than last year, aren't they?
03:03Yes, and that is precisely what...
03:05why he's not going to pay them.
03:06Ah, oh, he'll have to pay in the end.
03:08Oh, no, no, no.
03:10Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
03:11There's a principal involved here.
03:13He's quite prepared to go to prison if necessary.
03:16Oh, I'm not.
03:17I'll leave this to me.
03:18Well, all I can do is to give this to the bail...
03:20Listen, listen, do you want to see me go to prison?
03:23Hmm?
03:23No, no, no, of course not, Buck.
03:25Right then, right then.
03:26In that case, they can take the goods.
03:28I'll let them do that.
03:30Yes, yes, you would, wouldn't you?
03:33No guts, that's...
03:35What's the trouble with the younger generation today?
03:36I knew it'd pay off in the end.
03:38What happened to the spirit of a Dunkirk?
03:40Okay?
03:40Salerno, Ypres, Tobruk, when men fought for...
03:45What they believed in, strained every nerve, every sinew, every...
03:50Russell, to see freedom triumph?
03:52Oh, I wouldn't know, sir.
03:53I was excused.
03:55You haven't heard the last of this, you know.
04:00The council elections are coming up soon.
04:02Oh, you've done it now, he's not going to vote.
04:03I'm thinking of standing.
04:05You just sat down.
04:07Morning, morning, morning!
04:10What a bright and breezy morning!
04:11The birds are singing!
04:12The sun is shining!
04:15Conflicts!
04:17Oh, perfect.
04:18You're very cheerful.
04:19Well?
04:20There is not a cloud in the sky.
04:22Victoria!
04:23Hang on.
04:24A deep...
04:25Depression is sweeping in from the west.
04:26You'd better limit it.
04:29Ah, good morning.
04:30Morning, darling.
04:30Hello, Dad.
04:31There you are.
04:32Good news, good news.
04:34You've broken a leg?
04:35I've been having discussions with several local businessmen.
04:40And, uh, they, uh, a lot of them feel very dissatisfied with the rates.
04:44And they feel...
04:45I feel the need for a loud voice.
04:46And you were the obvious answer.
04:47Oh.
04:50A voice on the council.
04:51We're putting up a candidate for the next election.
04:54They wanted somebody...
04:55Attractive, intelligent, good speaker.
04:58But you've got the job anyway.
05:00Well, when is the election?
05:03Next month.
05:04Now, what do you think about this?
05:05Let's...
05:05Ah.
05:10Well, it...
05:15Does it have more impact with a picture of you?
05:17I'm not so sure.
05:20As a matter of fact, darling, that's exactly what I've come to discuss.
05:22I want your... I want your opinion.
05:25I've got a selection here.
05:28Now, then.
05:29There you are.
05:30One for you.
05:32One for you.
05:33Oh, God!
05:35You're right, the camera doesn't lie, does it?
05:39The left profile...
05:40...seems to be a popular choice.
05:41Although there is a school of thought which favours the right.
05:45I haven't had one taken from the back.
05:49How about that?
05:50I've got that one.
05:51I look clever, but not too clever.
05:52And honest, but not too honest.
05:55No, I think... I like that one.
05:57Huh?
05:58What do you think?
05:59Oh, yes, yes, yes.
06:00The much older man look.
06:02Yes, that's...
06:03Can we call them that?
06:04Can we call them that?
06:05Can we call them that?
06:06Can we call them that?
06:07Can we call them that?
06:08Can we call them that?
06:09All right.
06:10That's good.
06:10That's very good.
06:11Dissatisfied ratepayers action group.
06:14That's very good, you know.
06:15What?
06:16Well, for slogans, you know.

06:45Oh, yes, yes, quite a bit, yes.
06:46As well as my darling, I've dropped one out.
06:48Where is it?
06:48Oh, here we are.
06:49There you are.
06:50All right, go on, read it, Ad.
06:52Right.
06:53Major James Nichols, born siren.
06:55Ancestor, age 44.
06:56Oh, Dad.
06:58I didn't say when.
07:00In 1943, served in North Africa, where he earned the nickname Bo.
07:05Nichols, after that other legendary hero of desert warfare, Beau Geste.
07:10Yes, I was rather pleased, you there.
07:12Lucky army with the rank of major.
07:15Then worked as film extra, cathedral guide, and...
07:20Logjammer.
07:23Before qualifying as an accountant,
07:25Oh, that's true at last, right?
07:26He now runs Robin's Nest, a popular local restaurant.
07:30With his daughter.
07:31What about me?
07:34Right in there.
07:35And local labour.
07:38Hey, what's this?
07:39Widow.
07:40Widow, what about mummy?
07:42Why, wishful thinking, I suppose.
07:45Recently, he has devoted his time increasingly to charity.
07:48Charity?
07:49You?
07:50See?
07:50I did put you in there after all.
07:52I did put you in there after all.
07:55I did put you in there after all.
07:59Bye.
08:00and
08:04have you
08:05taught any more about the Dublin Pies, sir?
08:07Uh, no, but I haven't.
08:08It was me mother's fav-
08:10favourite dish to cook.
08:11Oh, she had the green fingers
08:12where the cooking was concerned.
08:15Yes, Albert, but not at the moment.
08:17I'd watch her cooking on the fire all day.
08:20And then she'd wake me father
08:21out of the stupor
08:22and move the old pig out of the easy.
08:25No, you had a pig in the dining room.
08:29No, that was-
08:30that's what she called me father.
08:32No, the pig we kept
08:33to me brother Jimmy's bed.
08:35I say
08:36Riddle has a brother called Jimmy.
08:40Must be warmer in the kitchen.
08:45What's that doing in here?
08:46Well, it was putting the customers off
08:47so I thought I'd put it in here.
08:48Oh, it's been sitting here.
08:49Well, Albert,
08:50and I think it's beginning
08:51to win him over, you know.
08:53No, no.
08:55Ricky, even your father,
08:56he can't say that to me.
08:57What?
08:58This year, everybody-
09:00is complaining about their-
09:01Oh, that should be Bill's.
09:03Yes, I thought it would.
09:05But now, thanks to Major James Knockills,
09:09the boob is on the other-
09:10Oh, there's another leaflet.
09:14It'll be popped through everybody.
09:15What is letterbox?
09:15Yeah, who's going to do that?
09:16Guess.
09:18Oh, no, not me.
09:19No, not-
09:20Not again.
09:25No, not again.
09:28There's another leaflet.
09:30I was the only one she trusted the recipe to.
09:35What do you do sir?
09:37Dublin pie.
09:39Because I was the clever one.
09:40No one in the family.
09:41I had the school certificates in the spelling and the RN.
09:45RN.
09:46Religious knowledge.
09:47If you'd like me to show you how to...
09:50No no Albert, not for the moment actually.
09:52Because we're a bit busy with all the things going on at the moment.
09:55Maybe, maybe some other time.
10:00I think he'll get in sir.
10:01Eh?
10:05You know, RN.
10:06He might, he might not.
10:08I mean you see.
10:09Not...
10:10Many people are sort of interested in voting at this sort of level aren't they?
10:15You know, I know.
10:16You know, you know, you know.
10:18Have you noticed how...
10:20his nose follows you round the room.
10:23Hello, darling.
10:25Let's pop in here and pick up a few more.
10:26They're in the kitchen.
10:30Yes, I have three pounds of that.
10:32Sorry.
10:33Partidum.
10:35Good afternoon, posters, posters, posters.
10:37Ah, here we are.
10:38Well, how's it going?
10:40Do you know I had a heartwarming moment this morning?
10:44Out canvassing.
10:45Two people actually compared me to Winnie.
10:48The Pooh?
10:50Churchill.
10:53Winston Churchill.
10:54Sorry, sir.
10:54Hey, hey.
10:55That's very good.
10:57I like that.
10:57It's very true.
11:00Why are these posters covered in sauce?
11:05I wait for y'all, sir.
11:08That's what comes of having to use.
11:10There's a restaurant at Campaign Headquarters.
11:12Actually, where are you going to put all these?
11:14In the bus stop.
11:15The ones that were there have all been vandalised, hooligans, scribbling all over them.
11:19Honestly.
11:20What kind of half-witted louts would draw on a political poster are?
11:25I don't know.
11:26I don't have to.
11:26You're not going to.
11:28I don't have to.
11:30Good heavens, they've been in here as well.
11:35Me mother always used to say, you don't...
11:40I'm really happy after a dollop of Dublin pie.
11:45He's outrageous, so I let him go ahead and make one.
11:47Yes, I know, but what's in it?
11:48I don't know, he wouldn't let me in the kitchen.
11:50There it is, the little darling.
11:52And nearly lunchtime too.
11:55Are you ready for a slice, sir?
11:57Albert, what does it sort of taste like?
12:00Well, I never ate it myself, sir.
12:03I always used to give my portion...
12:05Welcome to the old pig.
12:07Now, was that your father, or the pig that was in your brother Jimmy's...
12:10bedroom?
12:11Oh, whichever of them got to the table first, sir.
12:13You'll have some yourself, me.
12:15No, no.
12:16Luckily, I...
12:17Actually, I'm on a diet, Albert.
12:18Ah.
12:19Well, I've set the table...
12:20and I've dumped some potatoes, sir.
12:22What?
12:23Oh, you must have the potatoes with the Dublin pie, sir.
12:25Otherwise, it'll be like Morecambe without wise.
12:28Actually, I'm not...
12:29I'm not really...
12:30that hungry.
12:31You sit yourself down in the restaurant, sir, and I'll bring it out.
12:36Can't disappoint him.
12:37He made it specially for you.
12:38Yes, I know, but...
12:39It would be...
12:40It would be delicious.
12:41And if you don't eat it, who else?
12:43Look, I can't stand...
12:45I just dropped in to tell you, to listen to the wireless this afternoon.
12:50I shall be on.
12:51Doing a phone-out, or whatever it's called.
12:53On the radio?
12:54Mm.
12:55Yes.
12:55Local station, about four o'clock.
12:56With the other candidates.
12:57Dread repair.
12:58No charisma.
12:59Yes, well...
13:00We'll listen.
13:01Oh, good.
13:02Now, I must dash.
13:03Gonna change and grab a sandwich...
13:04Ah!
13:05Ah!
13:06Ah!
13:07Miss Nichols, just a second.
13:08Listen.
13:09This is no good for you, no?
13:10Rushing around.
13:10Dashing, trying to grab a sandwich.
13:11Well, no, no, no.
13:12I know, but I mean...
13:14What you need is something...
13:15Good.
13:16Wholesome.
13:17Hot.
13:18Homemade.
13:19Well, you have to be ready immediately.
13:20What?
13:21Say no more, Albert.
13:22Albert.
13:23Right here.
13:24I taught you...
13:25No, no, no, no.
13:25Mr. Nichols.
13:26International gourmet.
13:27Far better.
13:28Ah!
13:29Ah, yes, sir.
13:36It smells good.
13:37It does, doesn't it?
13:38It'll be delicious.
13:40Well, I don't want to make a pig of myself.
13:42You should say that.
13:43How about...
13:46But I am quite, er...
13:47Quite peckish.
13:48Ah, I see.
13:50Mmm.
13:52Mmm.
13:53Mmm.
13:54Mmm.
13:55Yeah.
13:56Interesting flavour.
13:58Is it?
13:59Is it?
14:00It is.
14:01Yes.
14:02Yes, it is.
14:03Yes.
14:04Yeah.
14:05Quite tasty.
14:06Mmm.
14:07Quite tasty.
14:08Mmm.
14:09Mmm.
14:10There was another one me Auntie Moira used to make.
14:14Ballymucky...
14:15Puddin'.
14:16It was never very popular.
14:19It was never very popular.
14:20for the eatin'.
14:21But it was in great demand as a doorstop.
14:23Right.
14:24It was never very popular for the eatin'.
14:25But it was in great demand as a doorstop.
14:26Right.
14:25What time did you make?
14:26Huh?
14:27Quarter past three.
14:28Your dad won't be broadcast...
14:30pasting to the nation for a while yet.
14:32Hello.
14:33Robin's Nest.
14:34Yes, speaking.
14:35What?
14:36Is what?
14:37Food poisoning.
14:38Food poisoning.
14:40What?
14:41What?
14:42What?
14:43What?
14:44What?
14:45What?
14:46What?
14:47What?
14:48What?
14:49What?
14:50You mean to say you gave me something cooked by Riddle?
14:50What?
14:51What?
14:52What?
14:53What?
14:54What is in it?
14:55Oh, everything, sir.
14:55Perhaps I didn't cook the nettles enough I think I left it
15:00out the privet leaves. It might have been my grandmother's work.
15:05I've eaten his grandmother's water.
15:10I can't. I expect Aldo's family to be eating it for generations.
15:15You mean I could suffer from permanent brain damage?
15:20Take these tablets two every hour and stay in bed.
15:24Oh, it's impossible. I...
15:25I have a party political broadcast to make.
15:27Oh, you can leave that to the Prime Minister.
15:30No, no, no. I can't let my supporters down.
15:34Well, they'll have to get...
15:35Get used to it eventually.
15:37But it's crucial.
15:39Well, someone else will have...
15:40I have to do it.
15:41Oh, really, Victoria?
15:42Well, I mean, there must be someone who knows your point of view
15:45and put it across.
15:46Oh, yeah.
15:50Oh, yeah.
15:51Oh, yeah.
15:52Oh, yeah.
15:53Oh, yeah.
15:55Oh, yeah.
15:56Oh, yeah.
15:57Hello, good afternoon and welcome.
15:59This is...
16:00Ricky Hart inviting you to Quizline.
16:05Now, on Quizline this afternoon, we were asking two of our council candidates...
16:10Is their borough permanently marooned in the second division of Earth?
16:15...urban life.
16:16Now, can we...
16:17What the...
16:18Sorry.
16:19Oh, shit.
16:20Well, yes, that was the...
16:24That was the...
16:25That was the voice of the third candidate for the dissatisfied...
16:30Statepayers Action Group, Major James Nichols.
16:33No, I'm sorry.
16:34I'm not Mr. James.
16:35I'm sorry.
16:36I'm sorry.
16:37I'm sorry.
16:38I'm sorry.
16:40Sorry.
16:41Oh, sorry.
16:42I'm Robin.
16:43Robin Tripp.
16:44How do you do?
16:45I'm sorry.
16:46I'm Robin.
16:47I'm sorry.
16:48I'm Robin.
16:49I'm Robin.
16:50Robin.
16:51Robin.
16:52Robin.
16:53Robin.
16:54Robin.
16:55Robin's Nest.
16:56It's just down the high road.
16:58Where's Major Nichols?
16:59Huh?
17:00It's got food poisoning.
17:01Not in my restaurant.
17:03Well, it was in my restaurant.
17:05I didn't cook the food.
17:06I mean, I do usually cook the food.
17:08I mean, I do usually cook the food.
17:10But not this time.
17:11Because it's very good usually.
17:12Very good indeed.
17:13You ask anybody.
17:14I mean, for instance.
17:15This is today our special.
17:16You know.
17:17It was cocavins, soda potatoes, carrots, courgettes.
17:19One pound ninety-five.
17:20Pretty good at that price.
17:21Now, it'd be fair, wouldn't it?
17:22So, uh, thank you, Mr.
17:25He did well there, didn't he?
17:26No, he did not.
17:27Well, now let's hear from our...
17:30The Labour candidate, Mr. Reg Belpar.
17:33Well, quite simply, the Labour candidate...
17:35The Labour party says the council employees have the right, nay the duty, to...
17:40protect their livelihoods.
17:41Ah, yes.
17:42Well, that certainly is a challenging statement.
17:45Mr. Tripp?
17:46Oh, yes it is.
17:47Oh, definitely.
17:48What did he say?
17:49What did he say?
17:50Oh, yes.
17:51Well, I think we, instead, we should hear what you, the listeners, think of it.
17:54Can we have our first call?
17:55Hello, please, on the hotline.
17:57Hello.
17:58Hello, Ricky?
18:00Hello.
18:01Oh, I am a first-time caller.
18:03Oh, glad to have you aboard.
18:05What's your name?
18:06Oh, my name.
18:07Oh, Derek Jones of Putney.
18:09Ah, hello.
18:10Derek, who do you wish to speak to?
18:12I'd like to speak to Mr. Tripp.
18:15Hello.
18:16Hello.
18:17Hello.
18:18Hello.
18:20Could I, er, book a table for four for some reason?
18:25If it's good, Mr. Jones, er, how about, how about...
18:30Eight o'clock was just...
18:31Would you like a corner table?
18:33Yes, er, that would do nicely.
18:35Uh...
18:36What vegetables do you have?
18:38Mmm.
18:40Cable for four...
18:42Jones.
18:43Cable for four...
18:44Jones.
18:45And as your Conservative candidate for this area, any voter who is...
18:50interested...
18:51Damien, Damien...
18:52Sorry, I have to, er...
18:53Cut you off there.
18:54Damien, Damien, I have to...
18:55I have another call come again.
18:56Hello.
18:57Hello.
18:58Hello.
18:59Hello.
19:00When my name is...
19:01Hello.
19:02When my name is...
19:03Hello.
19:04When my name is...
19:05Miss Riddle.
19:06Can I speak to Mr. Trip?
19:09Oh, yes, yes.
19:10Certainly.
19:11Hello, Albert.
19:12Hello, sir.
19:13Hello, sir.
19:14He's...
19:15Listen, I'm afraid we're fully booked for Saturday night.
19:20You see, we have that party from the Rosary Club.
19:24Oh, yeah.
19:25I've forgotten about them.
19:26Er...
19:27Listen, if you're still listening, Mr. Jones...
19:29Er...
19:30Derek?
19:31Derek?
19:32Yes, yes.
19:33Derek?
19:34Derek?
19:35Derek?
19:35If you were still listening, see, we're fully booked for Saturday.
19:38You've probably heard that.
19:39But we're usually quite...
19:40Have you been quiet on a Monday night?
19:41Er...
19:42Mr. Trip?
19:43I just...
19:44Hang on a minute.
19:45Or when...
19:45Wednesday...
19:46Mr. Trip, look, would you please tell the listeners the kind of things major...
19:50Mr. Nichols is interested in.
19:51Er...
19:52Yes.
19:53Er...
19:54Well, mainly money.
19:55And my wife.
19:56My friend.
19:57Oh.
19:58Let's just, you see, he wanted...
20:00me to go to prison.
20:01I said, no, no, no.
20:02They can take some goods instead.
20:03So that's when he decided to stand...
20:05for the council.
20:06I noticed it says on his poster...
20:08that he's a man of the people.
20:10Is he?
20:11Er...
20:12Yes, er...
20:13What exactly does he do?
20:14Not a lot.
20:15No, no, no.
20:16Not a lot.
20:17No, no.
20:18Not a lot.
20:20All of the time.
20:21Well, er...
20:22Perhaps he, er...
20:23has a business of his own.
20:24No, he's more interested in other...
20:25people's business.
20:26Er...
20:27He thinks that being interested in other people's affairs fits...
20:30in for the council.
20:31Well, I never thought of that.
20:33This is...
20:35a deliberate sabotage.
20:36He's doing his best.
20:37What?
20:40Er...
20:41Major Nichols wants to cut the race in half, but does he have any other ideas...
20:45Er...
20:46Yes.
20:47He wants to sack all the dustmen.
20:50Oh, and have his rubbish collected more often.
20:52Er...
20:53Yes, er...
20:54Well, he certainly has honest...
20:55straightforward opinions.
20:56Er...
20:57Is he an honest man?
20:58Would you like...
21:00to rephrase that, sir?
21:01I'm sorry.
21:02I must cut you off there.
21:03I have another call coming in.
21:04Hello!
21:06This is Major James Nichols speaking.
21:08Er...
21:09Er...
21:10What?
21:11The James...
21:10The James Nichols?
21:11Yes.
21:12If you don't mind, I should rather like to clarify a couple of points.
21:14My...
21:15Son-in-law had to step in at very short notice.
21:18Er...
21:19Yes, well, er...
21:20Mr...
21:20Trip has implied that, er...
21:22you have interfered in other people's business.
21:24I guess.
21:25Yes.
21:25I certainly have.
21:26And someone trained in accountancy.
21:27It has given me a great deal of pleasure over the years...
21:30Er...
21:31... in turning for the little man, lost in the dark of finance.
21:34Yes.
21:35...
21:37...
21:39...
21:41...
21:43...
21:45...
21:46...
21:47...
21:48...
21:49...
21:52...
21:54...
21:55...
21:56...
21:57...
21:58...
21:59There's four more people out there standing up waiting.
22:05Oh, God.
22:06Oh, you certainly did well when you answered the telephone on the radio.
22:09Sorry.
22:10That's too well, Albert.
22:11And when Miss Vicky gets back from the Vulcan...
22:13Let's hope it's soon.
22:14I could give you a hand with the cooking.
22:16Oh, but the National Health Service is not geared to the impact of your...
22:19Coupling pie.
22:25Oh, he's back, sir.
22:26The conquering hero.
22:29Well, how'd you get on?
22:31Mind your own business.
22:32Oh.
22:34Never mind.
22:35You both probably put up a good fight.
22:37Please, keep your time...
22:39...clichés for your menu.
22:40I lost by one vote.
22:43Absolutely.
22:44Seven recounts.
22:45Oh, you see?
22:46You should have voted for yourself.
22:48I did.
22:49Well, I think you did very well.
22:51Oh, to come second?
22:53I can't.
22:54I think...
22:55Please.
22:56Defeat is something of a stranger to me.
22:59I think I'd prefer to be on my own.
23:02I'd prefer to be on my own.
23:04Where's he going?
23:05Where's he going?
23:06The darkened room, the gathering silence...
23:09...the silver bullet, the ivory-handled Derringer.
23:12It is not quiet.
23:14Oh, I hope he's not going to do anything stupid.
23:16What, you mean he won't go through with it?
23:19He'll be standing for the House of Lords next.
23:22No, no, Albert.
23:23He lost by one vote.
23:24Is that right?
23:25One vote.
23:26That means avoid voting.
23:29I voted for him, he detained.
23:30Do you mean you didn't?
23:31Oh, no, I'm Scottish Nationalist, sir.
23:34They didn't have a candidate.
23:37No.
23:38Actually...
23:39If I'd voted for him...
23:41He would have won!
23:44No.
23:45No.
23:46No.
23:47No.
23:48No.
23:49No.
23:50No.
23:52No.
23:54No.
23:55No.
23:56No.
23:57No.
23:58No.
23:59No.
24:00No.
24:01No.
24:02No.
24:03No.
24:04No.
24:05No.
24:06No.
24:07No.
24:08No.
24:09No.
24:10No.
24:11No.
24:12No.
24:13No.
24:14No.
24:15No.
24:16No.
24:17No.
24:18No.
