00:30I don't know.
01:00I don't know.
01:30Do you?
01:32What?
01:35Do I hear a woman sobbing?
01:36Is that what you mean?
01:38Do you?
01:40No.
01:41Lord, did I have lost that all the night before?
01:43Now, please, take one of your pills and try and get some sleep.
01:46Take another pill.
01:47Well, take another.
01:48You're allowed up to 24 grains a day.
01:50I don't know.
02:20You're allowed to go to the loo in the middle of the night.
02:37Well, I thought women's bladders were different.
02:39No, they're not.
02:41Bloody eye, you know.
02:42I don't know.
02:49I don't know.
02:49I don't know.
03:53There's a smell of gas.
04:00There's a smell of gas in the attic.
04:03What the hell were you doing in the attic?
04:06It's just as well I went to. Look, there's a smell of gas.
04:08What do you want me to do?
04:09You could phone the gas board.
04:13Darling, it's two in the morning.
04:15They must have an emergency service.
04:17It's not the fire.
04:18Look, the fire's off.
04:19Well, no emergency service in the world is going to drive nine miles up from Upfield at two in the morning.
04:25There's no smell of gas.
04:55There's no smell of gas in the attic.
04:57It's true.
04:57I don't smell it now.
04:59Anyway, I wasn't thinking of fire.
05:00I was thinking of fumes.
05:02Oh, no longer dangerous.
05:03The carbon monoxide content of natural gas is minimal.
05:06But putting your head in the gas oven, it's a traditional way of committing suicide.
05:10Not anymore.
05:11You're just lying on the kitchen floor feeling foolish.
05:14Oh.
05:17You don't believe there is a leak?
05:20Look, lady, I enjoy my work.
05:22Believe me.
05:23You're making fun of me.
05:25No.
05:26I prefer intelligent conversation when I'm working.
05:29Well, Charlie's different.
05:30He's a silent lad by nature.
05:33Likes to get on with it.
05:34He doesn't actually seem to do anything.
05:36You do it all.
05:39Chaperone.
05:39What?
05:42Well, I have this sexual attraction.
05:44I expect you've noticed it.
05:46Oh.
05:47Oh, I can't help it.
05:48It's my nature.
05:50You know what it's like going into people's homes.
05:52Very lonely women.
05:54Husbands away all day.
05:55Children at school.
05:57Change of life.
05:57You see, half of them, they get these hot flushes and reach out towards me instinctively.
06:04His presence keeps them off.
06:06Save the embarrassment of refusal.
06:12Of course, he gets lost when I tell him to.
06:21Mind you, the husbands are worse.
06:23One of these days, mate.
06:25One of these days.
06:27And that's the last glass of water, so don't ask your father for one when he comes up,
06:31unless you want to wet the bed.
06:32I don't wet the bed!
06:34I'm going now.
06:34You can read for half an hour.
06:36Can I have an apple?
06:36You've got my book!
06:38I've got him get my book!
06:40Oh, shut up!
06:41Don't swear, James, I've told you before!
06:46He's wet the bed, he's wet the bed.
06:48Shut up!
06:54Do you two never realise how tired I get of you?
06:57What is it?
06:58Hmm?
06:59What you're reading.
07:00Attitude, sir, ma'am.
07:02To what?
07:03Sweet eating and tooth decay.
07:04Bulmers are launching a new product, relaunching an old one, really, you know, most new products are old, particularly sticky toffee in hideous modern colours, positively guaranteed to rot the teeth.
07:23It's important to find out to what extent mothers either know or care about that sort of thing.
07:30Of course, if they know too much, Bulmers may not launch the product.
07:34You mean if they know enough?
07:36Same thing, isn't it?
07:37People know enough, it's always too much in advertising terms.
07:39Frank?
07:40Hmm?
07:41You never ask me.
07:42What?
07:43Toffees, that sort of thing.
07:44I'm a mother.
07:45I've got attitudes.
07:46Oh, lovey, you're not statistically significant.
07:47Oh, is that what I'm not?
07:48The gas people came this morning.
07:51There wasn't a leak.
07:52The man was rather cheeky, I thought.
07:53Hmm.
07:54When did we last make love, Frank?
07:55Thursday.
07:56I took the morning off.
07:57Between 9.30 and 10.
07:58Hmm.
07:59When did we last make love, Frank?
08:01Thursday.
08:02I took the morning off.
08:03Between 9.30 and 10.
08:04Oh, lovey, you're not statistically significant.
08:05Oh, is that what I'm not?
08:06Oh, is that what I'm not?
08:07The gas people came this morning.
08:08There wasn't a leak.
08:09The man was rather cheeky, I thought.
08:11Hmm.
08:12When did we last make love, Frank?
08:17Thursday.
08:19I took the morning off.
08:22Between 9.30 and 10.
08:239.30 and 10.
08:24Yes, I thought you'd remember.
08:26The telephone rang just after instead of during for once.
08:30What do you mean, you thought I'd remember?
08:33You always do.
08:35The hour, the day, the circumstances.
08:38I expect you took the morning off especially.
08:41Yes, as a matter of fact, I did.
08:43I thought that you were getting a bit...
08:45Edgy.
08:53I was reading the Sunday Times Magazine section this morning.
08:56You shouldn't leave the Sunday papers lying around all week.
08:59It's not healthy.
09:00About men.
09:02It was an issue about men.
09:04You remember?
09:05You didn't get through it.
09:06Well, darling, magazine features about men are mostly aimed at women readers.
09:09If you looked at the ads in that issue, you'd find they were all for perfume.
09:12It said...
09:13I wrote it down so as to remember it.
09:15It said that after the age of 40, man's actual desire for sexual intercourse declines.
09:21It said actual desire.
09:24I didn't understand that actual.
09:26Oh, darling, I'm only 41.
09:28But it's very much restored during holidays.
09:31The actual desire.
09:34Is it?
09:37Or after remarriage to a younger woman.
09:51All women in their mid-thirties take pills.
10:18It's a depressive illness.
10:20They all have it.
10:21And so they should.
10:22Husband's away all day.
10:23Kids too young to talk to.
10:25They have a bloody awful life.
10:27But why did you move out into the country if you didn't want your wife to take pills?
10:30The air.
10:31The air?
10:32Yes, we didn't want the kids to grow up with polluted lungs.
10:36Just blow your nose in London.
10:37You get a hanky full of soot.
10:39Of course, it's worse in the north.
10:41Do you see much of them?
10:42What?
10:43Children.
10:44Do you see much of them?
10:45Well, at the weekends.
10:46Now, don't make debating points, Sandy.
10:48You know what it's like.
10:49Jane gets them off to school after I've left and they're usually in bed by the time I get home.
10:53Of course, I go up to see them to say goodnight.
10:56It'll be better when they're older.
10:59Except that...
11:00What?
11:01They're not supposed to want to know you, are they, when they're teenagers?
11:13Unhealthy.
11:15I have to reject you.
11:17Certainly, do you and your wife, I mean, do you and Sue...
11:21What?
11:22You?
11:23Sex life.
11:24Do we have one?
11:26Yes, Jane's been reading something in the Sunday Times.
11:29Something about actual desire.
11:32Oh.
11:34Well, of course, it's not so bad for us.
11:36Sue bought a book about it.
11:38Exercise.
11:39Things you can do with the back of a chair.
11:42Never realized.
11:43Of course, I use my imagination a lot, you know.
11:46Well, I expect you notice I try to catch a 715.
11:49There's a girl on the 715.
11:51Third coach from the rear.
11:53She's always there.
11:54Demure little thing.
11:56She's been reading Crime and Punishment all this week.
12:00As she gets up to in my mind, Crime and Punishment isn't in it.
12:07You know, I've never been unfaithful.
12:12I'm really very fond of Jane.
12:16Oh.
12:23I mean, I habla.
12:24I'm not.
12:25I don't know.
12:26You know, we're so evil.
12:27You, man.
12:28You're out of the way.
12:29You're killing her, yeah.
12:30This world family.
12:31You're evidence for whatever you're laying at in the house.

15:02oh yes yes I heard
15:03yes he showed me the scab when I went up
15:05it's harder and harder to get them to bed
15:08I've decided I don't like them very much nowadays
15:11there must be nicer children in the world than ours
15:13I really long to hit them
15:16often
15:17I mean I
15:19long often
15:21not hit them often
15:22just once would do a really good clout around the year
15:24I suspect it's just a phase
15:27well I'm glad you don't
15:33did you ever see a play
15:43I've forgotten what it's called
15:46Gaslight
15:47about a man driving his wife mad
15:51she thinks that she's imagining things
15:53and it turns out to be him all the time
15:55it's not a play is it

16:11oh darling it's obvious what you're thinking
16:13seriously
16:15darling if you thought about it seriously
16:17you realise there's no way that I could do it is there
16:20no way to
16:21in the attic to hide a tape recorder
16:24even if I could turn it on and off at long range
16:26that's mad too then
16:28thinking it
16:29well no no you're bound to think about it
16:34is it in you or in them
16:40what
16:41the phase

16:45robin
16:46oh frank
16:46you'll be stupid
16:48all right I'm sorry
16:49oh it's me I suppose the phase
16:53all part of the same thing
16:55do you think the house could be haunted
17:00oh darling
17:02it's only built in the 1900s
17:04it's no older than your mother
17:06well what's that got to do with it
17:08well they didn't build haunted houses in 1910
17:11pity I don't want to have hallucinations
17:14I'd really much rather not
17:16should I see a psychiatrist do you think
17:19I'm not sure mental illness is really Dr Dempsey's thing
17:22if it was an older house there might be a priest's hole or something
17:28some bricked up cupboard with a skeleton
17:30have you got the plans of the house
17:32do you know anything about it before we came
17:34I don't know there are any psychiatrists in Uckfield
17:40can you do it on the National Health
17:44no I haven't got the plans of the house
17:47but I know when it was built that's all
17:48and you have to know that for the mortgage
17:51mummy
17:51mummy
17:54mummy
17:56mummy
17:57all right I'll go
18:03mama jacob water
18:08well at least that's not imagination
18:11no
18:33sandie
18:42you were in private practice weren't you before you came to us
18:42well not very private I was a junior consultant at Barnes
18:57no I was just wondering if you'd kept up
18:59if you knew anyone psychotherapist analyst anyone really
19:14why
19:16jane seems to be having these hallucinations
19:19oh
19:21I don't think it's very serious she's been on valium for about a year now
19:25well you know the kind of thing depressions fears people go through them
19:28it's like flu nowadays anyone could get it
19:31lasts longer of course
19:33hallucinations
19:35a woman
19:38crying
19:39in the attic
19:42at night mostly
19:45of course I'm not around during the daytime
19:48is anyone else here
19:49no
19:50no you said you weren't around in the daytime
19:53you mean she only gets these hallucinations when you're around
19:57no
19:58no I don't mean that at all
20:02have you ever thought about an au pair
20:16oh well we used to have one but you know what the french are
20:21she was caught shoplifting in oxford street and we had to get rid of her
20:25then when we moved to the country jane said she had nothing else to do all day long but look after the place
20:30and so we managed with her daily
20:32dutch girls are good
20:33I mean they're very honest
20:37why an au pair
20:42well I was thinking of continuity I suppose
20:45I mean if jane were to be really ill
20:48of course one never knows when people start hallucinating
20:51I'm beginning to find this rather alarming
20:53well don't
20:54I'm sorry but don't
20:57if jane's going to be helped we must keep alarm right out of this case
21:02and where was her
21:04no pair of reasons for
21:06yeah well firstly to help jane with the children
21:09as you say they're getting her down
21:11secondly to be company for jane
21:14if she's going to be depressed
21:16she oughtn't to be left all on her own in the middle of sussex
21:18and thirdly if things were to get worse
21:23if she had to go away for a while
21:25well he must have thought about it
21:29feared it
21:31well don't fear it
21:33probably won't happen
21:35I've known plenty of schizophrenics living at home
21:37more or less happily with everything under control
21:39and if she did have to go away she'd be back within a matter of months
21:43and meanwhile there'll be someone to provide continuity
21:46someone the children knew
21:47yes but we don't know that she's a schizophrenic
21:50no we don't
21:55well I'm willing to bring her in to see whomever you suggest
21:58I mean we can afford
22:00all that medical insurance
22:02we might as well get some value for it
22:04but if you could come over sandy I know it's a long way out
22:07no no offensive
22:09thanks
22:11well
22:12now the attic
22:14well couldn't she
22:17she could
22:20what a good idea
22:22she could
22:24I never thought of that
22:25well yes she could
22:26she could
22:27I mean she would she must
22:28I mean she'd be in the attic
22:30she'd live in the attic
22:32don't you see Sanny
22:35I mean she would actually live in the attic
22:38she would she
22:39she'd be in the attic
22:43of course
22:44we should have to redecorate it
22:50what is it what's the matter
22:51I'd better show you
22:54it's just as well we decided to redecorate
23:02why Jane
23:04gas light I suppose
23:06gas light
23:07are you looking for a tape recorder something like that
23:10well damn it I'm in advertising I could get hold of the equipment
23:13hold of the equipment
23:19on this
23:22darling that is for the television it's something to do with the aerial
23:26well it's all settled then
23:28I'll get an au pair
23:29but you can have the attic
23:31well I'm sorry it's
23:39such a long drive back
23:41hmm
23:42well I suppose there's a youth club
23:43in Uckfield
23:44in fact I know there is
23:45there was a bit of a ruckus recently
23:47it was in the Gazette
23:48ruckus?
23:49rumpus
23:50rau
23:51yeah
23:52some of the lads got drunk on parsnip wine
23:55painted rude words all over the chapel of divine renunciation
23:58of course there'd be problems getting back
24:01yes
24:02yes the buses stopped rather early
24:04don't drive a car I suppose
24:06I can drive a little
24:07but I haven't licensed
24:09oh that's all right
24:10I'll give you a few lessons then
24:11you take the test
24:12I taught Jane to drive
24:14if a man can teach his wife to drive
24:15he can teach anyone
24:18oh
24:19we're done
24:20I'm going to put on the kettle
24:28you are lucky
24:32that you have gas so far from the town
24:34yeah
24:35yeah I suppose we are lucky
24:36it's uh
24:37partly because we're the Eastbourne side of Uckfield
24:39partly because they used to be one of those little Victorian gas companies here
24:43well you know them there's a rash of them springing up everywhere during the 19th century
24:46like the railway boom
24:47yes
24:48I don't think she does know Frank
24:50what?
24:51I don't see how Ingeborg can know the minutiae of 19th century English social history
24:57I haven't heard you explaining it so often I shouldn't know myself
25:00please do not call me Ingeborg Mrs. Perlach
25:04my friends say Inge
25:06I must remember not to call them jaw breakers
25:09yes
25:10yes that's the old name for them
25:12a sort of sticky toffee
25:15so what will you call them now?
25:17ah well it's not decided
25:19the current favorite is gummy chums
25:23I'm not sure there's enough mileage in that
25:25we're going to use these anti-pollution wrappers
25:28you uh
25:29you send 2,000 back to the makers and you get a certificate
25:3210,000 you get a silver plated lapel badge
25:35that's very good

30:15all we needed to do was move from this house
30:19you're making quite a ruckus voice
30:28you should be disappointed that your mummy hasn't come home yet
30:31we don't like our mother now
30:34she's a cross patch
30:35that's enough

31:13i don't know what's wrong with me i feel
31:17everyone thinks
31:20well they don't say mad
31:22they all say mental illness
31:24i'm not mad
31:26i'm really not mad
31:27i just get depressed that's all
31:31tell me about it
31:32i keep hearing this woman in the attic
31:39i can understand depression i mean everyone gets depressed
31:46we moved to the country because of the children
31:49i had a friend in those days
31:51pamela she lived around the corner in drayton gardens
31:55she said oh my dear never do anything for your children you're bound to regret it
31:58i was lonely i i was bound to be depressed
32:10frank used to get home late and tired and sex
32:15well he was very considerate
32:19we used to make love at weekends when he was feeling up to it
32:21you must have heard this kind of thing a thousand times
32:25i'm really a very ordinary woman
32:28if we could just move house it would be different i'm sure it would but
32:35he won't listen
32:37have you tried exorcism
32:39exorcism?
32:42if you can't move house
32:43to get rid of the ghost
32:46if it is a ghost
32:47will it work?
32:50i don't know much about it i'm afraid
32:52most churches do have a service of exorcism
32:56oh i can talk to the vicar
32:58i never see him
33:00please
33:02remember
33:04it may not work
33:06oh i know but
33:08don't you see it
33:09it's something to try
33:11thank you
33:13well i hope i've done right
33:27what was the trouble?
33:30she hears voices
33:31something in the attic
33:33hallucinations?
33:35i suppose so
33:35she's on lager till but it doesn't seem to be doing much good
33:39i suggested exorcism
33:41you what?
33:43she hadn't thought of it
33:44she felt better
33:46exorcism for hallucinations?
33:50well it might help
33:51that's the trouble with you christians
33:53you don't believe in your own religion
33:54if the pills don't work exorcism might
33:57she'll end up in a loony bin otherwise
34:00well
34:01what delicious cake?
34:04oh it's from the health food shop
34:05date and walnut
34:07hmm
34:07i'm not entirely clear
34:10there's a manifestation
34:12in the attic
34:13located in the attic?
34:15yes
34:15voices?
34:17a voice
34:18a woman's voice
34:19a presence
34:20yes
34:21and no one except yourself hears
34:24oh i'd be prepared to pay what's usual
34:26i mean traveling it's a long way to come
34:28our local vicar's rather low church
34:30he wouldn't do it
34:31but he said you were high
34:32oh i am
34:33i am high
34:34perhaps higher in summer
34:36i don't understand you
34:40a joke
34:42please ignore it
34:43i am high in the liturgical sense
34:45your local priest i understand has methodist leanings
34:49well it takes all sorts
34:51well he wouldn't thank you for calling him a priest if that's what you mean
34:55will you do it?
35:00mrs puller in the matter of casting out devils
35:02it's really hardly ever done nowadays
35:04instead
35:05particularly in the united states
35:07many priests are given a grounding in psychiatry
35:10i don't want you to cast out devils
35:13i want you to get rid of the ghost in the attic
35:15i'm sorry
35:17i don't mean to be impatient
35:19but the children will be back soon
35:20it'll be rather difficult to talk
35:22oh i'd have asked you over for coffee tomorrow morning
35:25but then the au pair would have been around
35:26how funny
35:28i used to have too much time on my own
35:30if you had asked me for spiritual help
35:33i have
35:35give it
35:37i can pray with you
35:39and for you
35:40i can pray for myself
35:42but do you?
35:45please don't humor me
35:46shall we pray together?
35:49why are you so obstinate?
35:51there's a form
35:52the church has a form
35:54even if you don't believe it
35:55do it
35:56it's the doing that counts
35:57i don't want prayer
35:58i want latin and holy water
36:01you don't believe in the supernatural
36:05and you're a priest
36:07i believe in god
36:09and his church
36:10and the beauty of worship
36:11i'm not a spiritualist mrs puller
36:14i don't want to raise the dead
36:15i want you to get rid of something
36:16a woman sobbing
36:18and there's a service laid down for it
36:20a printed service
36:22but there's no objective evidence mrs puller
36:24oh the children are back
36:26you must appreciate how careful one has to be
36:32oh he says he's worried about it
36:36i don't think the pills are working
36:38in fact i'm sure they're not
36:39what she still hears
36:40yes whatever it is
36:41the woman upstairs
36:42and she's convinced that inger hears it too
36:44and won't let on
36:45it's a gnostic atmosphere
36:47and does she inger?
36:48no of course not
36:49she keeps sending inger to bring the kids home from school
36:52won't have anything to do with them herself
