05:04I don't know how you can bring yourself to do that, Mildred.
05:06Step this way and I'll show you.
05:09Oh, thank you.
05:10What are we eating with it?
05:12Pommes frites.
05:13What are we having?
05:13But...
05:14Potatoes?
05:15No, we're not, George.
05:16We're having pomfret.
05:17As soon as your apple comes round...
05:19I get all fancy, taking the salt out of the packet.
05:21I want everything to be properly done, George.
05:24You know, snowy white napkins, gleaming cutlery, freshly cut flowers.
05:29on the table.
05:30And for a start, you can wipe the gunge off that sauce bottle.
05:33All right.
05:34You can't compete, Mildred.
05:36She's got a different knife and fork for every course.
05:38Without having to wash up.
05:39Well, we'll have a full set, George.
05:41As soon as you buy another ten gallons.
05:43And you've got...
05:44proper wine glasses.
05:44So have we.
05:45Yeah, but ours have got British Rail on.
05:47Well, not all of them.
05:48Anyway...
05:49George, it's the food that makes a successful...
05:52Oh, blow...
05:54I've run out of stuffing.
05:56We're going to pack a polyfitter in the shed.
05:57LAUGHTER
05:59I've never liked cats.
06:03I've never liked cats.
06:04Selfish creatures.
06:05When they look at mother, they don't see a frail old lady.
06:08They see a warehouse.
06:09It's full of cat-o-meat.
06:11It's a large detached property.
06:13Nonsense.
06:13I'm very...
06:14I'm very fond of my mother.
06:15I'm even wearing the tie she gave me.
06:17And greater love hath no...
06:19Red and blue.
06:22If you had a white suit, we could run you up a...
06:24flagpole.
06:24Oh, don't sneer, Anne.
06:26The day may well come when you're old and lonely.
06:29I'm colour blind.
06:30And I just don't like the way she makes Tristram recite his taste.
06:34I don't like the tables before he gets any pudding.
06:35It never did me any harm.
06:37All right.
06:37Watch Seven Nimes.
06:39What?
06:40Not that I'm so childish.
06:42Incidentally, I wouldn't wear that dress.
06:43Mother's face...
06:44It's very superstitious about blue.
06:45It's green.
06:46Yes, but she's not to know that.
06:48Fifty...
06:49Oh, Geoffrey, shame on you.
06:51I never liked pudding anyway.
06:54Oh, hello, love.
06:56Sorry to bother you, but I've got a slight problem.
06:59Ah, as long as it's not arithmetic.
07:01No, no, love, no.
07:02No, I was stuffing this chicken.
07:04And it seems to be a bit bigger on the inside than it is on the outside, so I need more stuff.
07:09Right, well, come through, Mildred.
07:12Okay, thank you.
07:14Mummy, do I have to wash them both ears?
07:18Yes, you do.
07:19But she only ever looks in one.
07:21Well, she might pick the wrong one.
07:23I'll take it.
07:24You will not, both of them, put on your hair.
07:27Can you type down my hair?
07:29You could not.
07:31Honestly.
07:34Geoffrey, it's Mildred.
07:38What?
07:38Er...
07:39Ah, Mrs. Roper.
07:40Good afternoon, Mr. Formale.
07:41Ooh.
07:43Er, what?
07:44It's an interesting tie.
07:46Yes.
07:46It's the official tie of the Cat Lovers Association.
07:49Oh, I didn't know you liked cats.
07:50I don't.
07:50There's no point in letting them know that.
07:52Oh.
07:5363.
07:5363.
07:54About time to...
07:55Come on through, Mildred.
07:56Thank you, love.
07:57And, er, don't forget...
07:59...to wash behind our ears before we go.
08:01Oh.
08:03Would you...
08:04Would you like a cup of tea, Mildred?
08:04Oh, lovely.
08:06Er, my sister and her husband are coming to dinner.
08:08Oh, yes.
08:09The one you call the awful king of Ockshot.
08:11Oh, they've got a lovely house out there.
08:14Oh, all built on pig livers.
08:17Would sage and onion do?
08:18Oh, f***.
08:19Oh, yes, lovely.
08:19Oh, and do you think I could borrow your carving knife?
08:21Only George has ruined ours trying to sharpen his dart.
08:24Anything else?
08:26Er, well, we might need your pastry brush.
08:28Oh.
08:29If I can't get the creosote out of ours.
08:32Oh, and that's, er, that great...
08:34...big roasting tin of yours.
08:37Oh.
08:38Oh, and...
08:39Well, look, I'll tell you what, Mildred, I'll tell you what.
08:41You take the key, and if there's anything else you need...
08:44...pop in and help yourself, because we're going out.
08:45Oh, lovely.
08:46Thank you, dear.
08:47Anywhere nice?
08:48Oh, we're just going to see Geoff...
08:49...and Sammy and Marmalade, Tiddles and Ginger, Smokey and Fluff.
08:54Oh, I mustn't hold you up.
08:55Oh, please do.
08:56Have a biscuit with your tea.
08:57Oh.
08:59Oh, my God.
09:04All right, all right.
09:07Get your hair on.
09:09Hello, George.
09:11Hello, Ted.
09:12Oh, this is a surprise.
09:13Oh.
09:13Oh, come in.
09:14Oh, Tom.
09:15Well, I thought this was your address.
09:17Yeah.
09:17Go through it.
09:18Oh, yes.
09:18Oh, well, I haven't seen you since the dance match of the British Legion.
09:23Remember?
09:23Oh, well, I haven't seen you since the dance match of the British Legion.
09:25I remember.
09:25I remember, yes.
09:26I remember.
09:27I remember.
09:29I remember.
09:29Yeah, and you had to have a course of injections.
09:34That's...
09:34That's right, I did.
09:36Well, it's nice to see you again.
09:37I don't get a lot of mates dropping round.
09:39No, I don't.
09:39Well, I'll keep inviting them.
09:41They never seem to get round to me somehow.
09:44Oh, tar, yeah, I wouldn't say no.
09:47Oh, good.
09:48You, er...
09:49You still got the job with the gas board?
09:52Electricity board?
09:53Oh, yeah, well, same difference.
09:54I suppose you were working nearby and you thought you'd drop in for a check, eh?
09:59Ah, no.
09:59Well, exactly.
10:00Oh, tar.
10:01Well, I've just come round.
10:02Cheers.
10:03Cheers.
10:04I've just come round to cut your electricity off.
10:09I thought I'd give them a...
10:14Nice, homemade apple pie.
10:16Providing they remember their tables.
10:18Pardon?
10:19Oh, nothing, Mildred.
10:19So, you're going to be slaving over a hot stove all afternoon.
10:22Yes.
10:24Yeah, well, that's done that then.
10:27Well, it's nothing personal, George.
10:28I mean, but if...
10:29If you don't pay your electricity bill, we'll...
10:31Whoa, whoa, whoa, I meant to pay you, but I've got let down very, very bad.
10:34Finally, by Lester Pickett.
10:38How would it be if...
10:39I gave you a check right now?
10:41Well, you gave us a check last time, but according to this, the bank sent it.
10:44Oh, I don't understand it.
10:46It says on the door, assets are 300 million quid.
10:48There.
10:49It's not yours.
10:50And it did have a lot of warnings.
10:52If I didn't open them, so it doesn't count.
10:54Besides, I'm not allowed to accept payment.
10:57Now, I'll just check that everything's...
10:59It's not working properly.
11:02Oh, that's fine, yes.
11:03Have I...
11:04A little tech...
11:04Oh, what about friendship?
11:06Oh, you can have that, but you can't have the electricity.
11:09Oh, I see.
11:11So that's all this means, eh?
11:13Well, I don't mind telling you, Ted.
11:14This is a dark day for me.
11:16It will be later on, won't it?
11:17Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
11:19We've got people coming round tonight.
11:21I mean, the...
11:21Well, the central eating won't be working.
11:23The refrigerator will be off.
11:24We'll be...
11:24Eating our dinner in the dark.
11:25Oh, no, you won't.
11:26Because your cooker won't be working either.
11:28Cheerio.
11:29Oh, my God.
11:32Oh, my God.
11:59You see, Mildred?
12:04What happened was that I was on my way to the electricity...
12:09...to pay the bill with the money you gave me and...
12:14...and these four masked hooligans...
12:16...well, six masked hooligans...
12:19...they fell on me and I...
12:21Oh, gold.
12:23George?
12:24Oh!
12:24Yeah, gold.
12:25You're back.
12:26Yeah, but...
12:27...how, how, how, how, how, how, how, how, how...
12:29...are they all next door?
12:30Oh, they're fine.
12:31I gave them the key to the back door.
12:33They've gone to visit his...
12:34...and his mother.
12:35Oh, good, good, good, good, good, good, good.
12:37We must do that sometimes.
12:39You don't know his mother.
12:40No, no, no, I mean my mother.
12:42Apart from the fact she's been dead for...
12:44...you don't know your mother.
12:46Your mother.
12:47Are you all right?
12:48I am fine, fine, fine.
12:49Don't, don't, don't, don't.
12:50Turn on the kettle.
12:51Why not?
12:52Well, President Carter...
12:54...the mother says we've got to save energy.
12:56But if President Carter can make chicken stock with...
12:59...no water, he's welcome to come and try.
13:02Oh!
13:03The little light hasn't gone...
13:04...oh, good.
13:05That saved a bit.
13:06Yeah.
13:07Phone him up and tell him.
13:09George!
13:10The light in the oven hasn't gone on either.
13:11George!
13:12The light in the oven hasn't gone on either.
13:14Oh!
13:15Perhaps it's a fuse.
13:16Oh, yeah.
13:17I guess it's probably a fuse.
13:18See?
13:19Oh!
13:20Oh, no.
13:21It's probably...
13:22It's a power cut.
13:23Yes, that's what it is.
13:24It's a power cut.
13:24All right, then.
13:25I'll phone the electricity to board and find out.
13:26No, you can't do that.
13:27Why can't I?
13:28I'm in a...
13:29The power cut doesn't affect the telephone.
13:30Oh, well.
13:31No, it is a fuse.
13:32Pardon?
13:33Yeah, I can smell it.
13:34You leave it to me.
13:35Oh, no.
13:36No, George, no.
13:37The last time you mended a fuse...
13:39You didn't have any eyebrows for three weeks.
13:41And you ruined a perfectly good head...
13:44I'll do it.
13:45Yeah, no, no.
13:46Wait a minute.
13:47It's not a fuse.
13:48It's a...
13:49How much do you know about electricity?
13:51Well, not a lot.
13:52Oh, yeah.
13:53You've heard of a...
13:54Short circuit, don't you?
13:55Yeah.
13:56Well, this is a long circuit.
13:57Very tricky.
13:59I'll phone them.
14:00Yeah, no, no.
14:01I'll fix it.
14:02Well, hurry up, George.
14:03I mean, they'll be here by six...
14:04It's a little lock.
14:05I haven't got the dinner in the oven yet.
14:06Yeah, all right, Mildred.
14:07Phew.
14:09Oh.
14:10Oh.
14:11Oh.
14:13Oh.
14:14Are you sure you know what you're doing?
14:18Look...
14:19Yeah.
14:20I've bypassed the meter to shorten the long circuit.
14:23And I wire...
14:24I wire it into the hooker junction wash lane.
14:26There.
14:27All right?
14:28Yes, I suppose.
14:29So, George...
14:35What?
14:34It's still not working.
14:35Well, I haven't finished yet.
14:37Right.
14:38Now then.
14:39You put this plug in here, you see, and, er, Biola.
14:43George.
14:44I really don't think you know what...
14:46George?
14:47The cooker's come on.
14:49You have no faith in me, have you?
14:51Well, let's face it, George.
14:52The last time you mentioned a water pipe...
14:54We had gas coming through the hot tap.
14:56Well, that's a mistake anybody could make.
14:58Yeah, every time I wanted a...
14:59I had to fill a kettle, I had to turn the gas fire on.
15:01Well, I've done this right.
15:03Look, here I...
15:04See?
15:05We've got two lamps in here.
15:06Yeah.
15:07And a lamp and a cooker in there.
15:08Is that all?
15:09Oh, str...
15:09It's too familiar.
15:10If I put any more on the cable, it'll dilute the voltage.
15:12Right.
15:13It'll do...
15:14For tonight, I'll just tuck this lot away.
15:15Well, if you...
15:16It's one advantage.
15:17They won't be able to see what they're eating.
15:19We're going to put your tie on.
15:21God.
15:22We're going to put your tie on.
15:24It's all between, and Are you going to put watching?
15:28Oh, man...
15:29See?
15:30Okay.
15:31Here as you do, the models are beautiful.
15:32This is the 80s, which are some people I can bring in one side.
15:34This looks well on where I see.
15:36It's so Elizab jed.
15:38My interpassed fire.
15:40...it was not locked or the two stopped.
15:41If I get the Daнос to the Lightroom, you might see.
15:43By the way, I'll just make it the organisations that are out of touch and the other side.
15:47...it was also next to the central pattern.
15:49Y'all shub have never produced for light.
15:53he touched
15:58my bottom
16:00really

17:41I swear they're trying to outbreed us.
17:43They have four or five at a time, Geoffrey. I can't compete with that.
17:46I'll be granny a giraffe. I'll be granny a giraffe.
17:50All right, I know you did.
17:51She's probably cutting you out of her will at this very moment.
17:54Go out and get your homework, Tristram.
17:56You all right?
17:57What have you got?
17:58I've got to write an essay.
17:59Where?

18:02Up.
18:03I'll be granny a giraffe.
18:06You did not help by sitting on Tiddles.
18:11Well, I apologise.
18:12Not to Tiddles. Mother noticed it.
18:14Well, I'll write it a note.
18:16Well, that might help.
18:19Though I doubt it.
18:21What's the back door doing with it?
18:24What's the back door doing with it?
18:27I don't know.
18:28Oh, it might be Mildred I left with a key.
18:31What's this?
18:32I don't know.
18:33I don't know.
18:34Oh, damn it.
18:37It seems to be going into next door.
18:40Yes.
18:42Another Sherry Humphrey?
18:43Oh, no, thank you.
18:44No.
18:45Very nice.
18:47Unusual, isn't it?
18:48Not often you see a sparkling Sherry.
18:52No, it's Moroccan, you know.
18:54Very nice.
18:55Yeah, very cheap.
18:56Yes.
18:58Ethel, that lamp moved.
19:01It's supposed to move.
19:02No.
19:03It's supposed to move.
19:04No.
19:06Not up and down.
19:07Sideways.
19:10I've just...
19:11Put the potatoes in.
19:12Mildred, it moved.
19:13Pardon?
19:14When you came into the room, it moved.
19:16Oh, did it?
19:17Yeah.
19:18Oh, did it really?
19:19Not up and down.
19:21Sideways.
19:23Let's do it again.
19:24Look, look, look.
19:25Oh, perhaps the house.
19:26Is tilting.
19:27These inexpensive properties do sometimes subside.
19:30And don't be ridiculous.
19:31Hey, here.
19:32That wasn't going on.
19:33Look.
19:34Look.
19:35Here.
19:36Stop my...
19:36I put it in the cable.
19:37Excuse me.
19:38Just a moment.
19:39I'll...
19:40Excuse me.
19:41Just a moment.
19:41Don't be right, baby.
19:43This is theft.
19:44He's stealing my electricity.
19:46Well, I did say they could borrow anything they wanted.
19:48Yes, but what's on the end of this?
19:50That's what I...
19:51I'd like to know.
19:52Oh!
19:53Oh!
19:54Oh!
19:55Oh!
19:57Hello, son.
19:58Mr. Roper.
19:59I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't...
20:01Don't pull on this.
20:02Right.
20:03I'll unplug it.
20:04No, no, you can't do that.
20:05It's my plug.
20:06In my...
20:06Oh, okay.
20:07Oh, okay.
20:08Just a minute.
20:09It's nothing.
20:10Ha, ha, ha.
20:11Do try one of the pink ones.
20:13It's Cosro.
20:14A sort of caviar.
20:17Oh, dear.
20:19We seem to be having trouble with the...
20:21Matrix.
20:22Yes, I'd spotted that.
20:25We have our...
20:26Our own generator, of course.
20:28Ha, ha, ha.
20:29How lucky for you.
20:30Er...
20:31Do have a...
20:31That's stuffed, Olive.
20:32Eh?
20:33Oh, yeah.
20:34Just a minute.
20:35Oh, yeah.
20:37I like stuffed, Olive.
20:38Yeah.
20:39Erm...
20:40Are you going anywhere nice...
20:41for your holidays?
20:42Oh, er...
20:43Well, we thought that we might...
20:44Mildred, the lights have gone out!
20:46Yes.
20:47Erm...
20:48We always go to Blackpool ourselves.
20:50Well, shouldn't...
20:51you be doing something about it?
20:52Oh, no.
20:53No, no, no, love.
20:54We never book until January.
20:56Well, I'll, er...
20:58I'll just go and, er...
20:59see if I can find some cans.
21:01Help us, Dr Sherry.
21:02No, thank you.
21:03No, thank you.
21:04No, thank you.
21:05I will...
21:06I'll kill him.
21:07I will...
21:08Ow!
21:09Oh!
21:10Just wait till I get out of it.
21:11I'll kill him.
21:12I'll fix it.

21:14Hee hee hee hee hee hee!
21:15Oh!
21:16Uh, er...

21:19Mildred?
21:20Come here!
21:21You have just ten seconds to explain.
21:24One, two, three, four, five, six...
21:26Tell me why to pay the electric bill, see?
21:27And these eight masked hooligans.
21:29LAUGHTER
21:31George!
21:32You didn't pay it!
21:34They've cut us off!
21:35Yeah, well, it could have been...
21:36nine masked hooligans, Mildred.
21:37LAUGHTER
21:38I mean, the chicken, it's only half cooked!
21:40Well, can we...
21:41give them the half that's cooked?
21:42LAUGHTER
21:43What am I gonna tell Ethel and Humphrey?!
21:45Ugh!
21:46Well, you can blame me if you like!
21:47I do!
21:48Well, if it wasn't all to get them, I thought it was partly Leicester Pickett.
21:51Yeah, I'll tell you what, I'll go ahead and explain.
21:52You will not!
21:53I'm not gonna have my sister thinking that I can't...
21:56pay my bills!
21:57Oh, look at him!
22:00What are we...
22:01gonna give them to eat?
22:02Yeah, George!
22:03What are we gonna give them to eat?
22:04Yeah, George!
22:05Yeah, George!
22:06It's a funny kind of power cut!
22:08All the answers across the street are all lit up!
22:10Yeah, yeah!
22:11It's a bit of that, isn't it?
22:12Here we are, then!
22:14I, er...
22:15I hope...
22:16nobody minds cold soup!
22:17Or is it Vichy Soys or Gaspacho?
22:19Er...
22:20Oxtail!
22:21Not for me, thank you!
22:25What are we having to follow?
22:26Er...
22:27Fish paste salad!
22:29But there's not enough to...
22:30to go round!
22:31Thank God for that!
22:32So I'm just having a Weetabix!
22:35Oh, God!
22:36Oh, man!

22:42Look, I'm sorry.
22:43Well, I know it's not your fault about the power, you know...
22:45all that. Look, why don't we go round to the Grand Hotel, eh? I'll pay. I mean, we're...
22:50We could have a nice bit of roast beef round out. Well, George. I wouldn't mind that, Mildred.
22:54We could get some decent wine.
22:55All right. I'll give him a ring and book a table.
22:58Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.
23:00Why don't we stay here, see? Fish paste salad.
23:02Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum.
23:04Ten minutes away and then...
23:05We can get...
23:07Hello?
23:08Your phone's gone.
23:10Well, we could have a sing-song later, eh?
23:13Oh, that's funny. It's gone...
23:15Quite dead. Seems to have been cut off.
23:17Are you sure?
23:18Yeah.
23:19What? I mean, it was...
23:20It was all right yesterday when I...
23:22George.

23:29Well...
