00:00:08The
00:00:55Look, that's ours.
00:00:57The taste for a three-piece bedroom suite.
00:01:01Figured walnut.
00:01:02That's right.
00:01:04Just think.
00:01:05The day after tomorrow, we'll be waking up in that.
00:01:08Perfect.
00:01:09Well, we're getting married, aren't we?
00:01:12I can't get over that man in the shop.
00:01:14Wasn't he nice?
00:01:15He'd have forgiven us that lovely fender, firearms and coal scuttle.
00:01:19I hope he doesn't get into trouble.
00:01:20What's the good of him?
00:01:21We've got gas fire.
00:01:24Fickets, please.
00:01:26What time do we get into Truro?
00:01:28You're due at half past ten.
00:01:29Change at Foul Vale Junction.
00:01:32Here, lad.
00:01:33Half past ten.
00:01:37I said we should have caught that earlier train.
00:01:40That furniture chap would keep on talking.
00:01:43We shall cop it from there.
00:01:48Now then, my lad.
00:01:50This is a railway carriage, not a playground.
00:01:52Go on, off with you.
00:01:57This is an on-smoker.
00:01:58Tickets, please.
00:01:59Oh, tickets.
00:02:01What a game.
00:02:01I haven't seen your ticket yet, madam.
00:02:03Well, if you haven't, everyone else on your railway has.
00:02:07Hush, Polly.
00:02:09I'd like to show it at every station we've stopped at, all the way from London.
00:02:12I'm sorry, madam, but we have to keep a check on travellers nowadays.
00:02:16Oh, perhaps you think I'm a parachutist.
00:02:18Perhaps you'd like to look at those paths or see if I've got a bicycle or machine gun.
00:02:21I only want to see your ticket, madam.
00:02:24Here's my ticket.
00:02:26And here's my identification card, and here's my ration book.
00:02:29And if you want my birth certificate, you'll have to ask Somerset House for it.
00:02:33Truro.
00:02:33Thank you, madam.
00:02:34Change at Foul Vale Junction.
00:02:36It's the next stop.
00:02:36You won't see the name on the station.
00:02:39Took a bit of a chance putting it on the ticket, didn't they?
00:03:01And here's my collection.
00:03:12Hey!
00:03:13You!
00:03:18Yeah, you.
00:03:19All right. You can go now. I've got it.
00:03:20What do you think you're up to?
00:03:21Well, I lost my tipper.
00:03:22You can't do that.
00:03:23Can't do what?
00:03:24Stop the train just to pick up your head.
00:03:25Well...
00:03:26Stopped it, don't be silly.
00:03:27Here, tell you what I'll do.
00:03:30There you are, I've started it again.
00:03:33It ain't merely that.
00:03:34All right, give me a bunk up.
00:03:39I wish you'd cut your nails.
00:03:46Oh, hello.
00:03:49Unless you've got a nerve dropping his hat out.
00:03:54I say, what happened?
00:03:56She's smiling.
00:03:58What?
00:03:58Eh?
00:03:59I mean the train.
00:04:00Why did it stop?
00:04:01Oh, some fool's hat fell off.
00:04:03He pulled the cords.
00:04:04Oh, bless my soul.
00:04:05Good gracious.
00:04:17Come back here.
00:04:18I want your name and address.
00:04:20Here, now.
00:04:20What's all the trouble?
00:04:22No trouble at all.
00:04:22I've got it now, thank you.
00:04:24Pull the communication cord and stop the train to get his hat.
00:04:26Did you get his name and address?
00:04:27That's what I'm trying to get.
00:04:28Now, sir.
00:04:29Oh, where the...
00:04:34Come on out of that.
00:04:37Come on.
00:04:39Hello.
00:04:40Hello.
00:04:40He's still here.
00:04:41I was having a wice.
00:04:42This puff puff's filthy.
00:04:44No, sir.
00:04:44All right, I'll handle this.
00:04:47Are you going to give me your name and address, or are you not?
00:04:50My name and address?
00:04:51Well, er...
00:04:52Actually, I'm travelling in Kong.
00:04:54But that's me.
00:04:55Tommy Gambler.
00:04:56Comedian and entertainer.
00:04:58Now, what's the address?
00:04:59For the next 16 weeks, I'll be at the Pier Pavilion, New Quay.
00:05:0216 weeks, sir.
00:05:03Well, we'll see how I go on Monday night.
00:05:06You know, this will mean a prosecution, a five-pound fine, sir.
00:05:08What for?
00:05:09I can't understand what all this fuss is about.
00:05:12You stopped the train.
00:05:13Well, it was only a little stop.
00:05:15Besides, nobody minded.
00:05:18Did anyone here mind me stopping the train for a few minutes?
00:05:20No.
00:05:22We'll try another one.
00:05:23Did anybody here...
00:05:25Now, look here.
00:05:25You better get back to your compartment.
00:05:27This is my compartment.
00:05:28Thanks ever so for seeing me home.
00:05:30Well, if you wouldn't behave like this, I...
00:05:34You know, I don't think this was your carriage.
00:05:38Wasn't it?
00:05:40The trouble is, they all look so much alike.
00:05:42If one only had a different colour scheme in each compartment,
00:05:45one could tell which was one's own compartment.
00:05:48Excuse me, is this gentleman annoying you?
00:05:50For me?
00:05:51I wasn't talking to you, little man.
00:05:52Anyway, this is a first-class carriage.
00:05:54Well, what about it?
00:05:55Well, I bet you've got a third-class ticket.
00:05:56I have not.
00:05:57I've got a platform ticket.
00:05:59Is he a friend of yours?
00:06:01I never saw either of you before in my life.
00:06:03As I thought.
00:06:04You don't even know the lady.
00:06:05You force your way into her compartment
00:06:07and cause everyone a lot of annoyance.
00:06:09Now, run along to your old carriage before I call the guard.
00:06:11Here, let's be fair.
00:06:12After all, this isn't your carriage either.
00:06:14Either.
00:06:15Either.
00:06:16Either.
00:06:17Let's ask the lady.
00:06:18It's a good idea.
00:06:19Is it either or either?
00:06:20Neither.
00:06:24What's this?
00:06:25Good afternoon.
00:06:26Who are these people?
00:06:27I have the slightest idea.
00:06:30Is your name Winthrop?
00:06:31Yes.
00:06:32R.G. Winthrop?
00:06:34Yes.
00:06:34In that case, this is your bag.
00:06:37Oh, and here's your coat.
00:06:38And here's your skull.
00:06:40And here's your book.
00:06:42Oh, we mustn't lose the place.
00:06:43There you are.
00:06:44What are you two playing at?
00:06:48One moment.
00:06:49Winthrop.
00:06:50R.G.
00:06:51Aren't you the all-rounder that played for the MCC?
00:06:54Yes.
00:06:55As a matter of fact, I am.
00:06:57Oh, isn't that wonderful.
00:06:58I only need you to complete my set.
00:06:59Set?
00:07:00Yes.
00:07:00Cigarette cards.
00:07:01Fifty famous cricketers.
00:07:02What are you two doing in here?
00:07:04Well, he lost his hat.
00:07:06Oh, so you're the idiot who stopped the train.
00:07:08Yes.
00:07:08I don't have my own strength.
00:07:10My time happens to be valuable even if yours isn't.
00:07:13Now, perhaps you'll be good enough to move out of here before I lose my temper.
00:07:15Oh, yes.
00:07:17One minute.
00:07:18If I remember rightly, you were a boxing glue as well.
00:07:21Yes.
00:07:22I was.
00:07:24You mean you used to fight and knock them on the...
00:07:27Oh, well, circumstances alter cases.
00:07:30Goodbye, all.
00:07:31Goodbye.
00:07:32Goodbye.
00:07:34We'd better be getting our things together.
00:07:35We'll soon be at Falvale.
00:07:36Oh, are you changing at Falvale?
00:07:38So am I.
00:07:38Isn't that a coincidence?
00:07:40Have you got a new key?
00:07:41No, we are not.
00:07:42Oh.
00:07:42Well, if you do, you must come and see me.
00:07:44I'm in the concert party there.
00:07:45Yes.
00:07:45My name's Tommy Gander.
00:07:47And if you give that to the manager, he'll give you a row of seats to yourself.
00:07:49Are you going to get out or do I have to throw you out?
00:07:51Oh, Richard.
00:07:52Leave this to me.
00:07:54Get out and stay out.
00:07:56Yes, sir.
00:07:59I don't like strange men trying to scrape up an acquaintance with you.
00:08:02Oh, don't be silly, Richard.
00:08:03You sound like something out of East Lynn's.
00:08:05They're not going to get out of the room.
00:08:14Look out in my hat.
00:08:18Cause of all the trouble.
00:08:22See you at Calvary.
00:09:28Oh, go away.
00:10:16Oh, go away.
00:10:20Oh, go away.
00:10:21Well, Herbert, there's one thing.
00:10:25The worst of the journey is over now.
00:10:27Yes, I know, but I'll pass ten.
00:10:29What's she going to say to that, I'd like to know.
00:10:36I'll take the ladies back.
00:10:38I can't say we have to tell you.
00:10:39You take that one.
00:10:40I'll take it.
00:10:41Can I help you tell your connection?
00:10:43I'll tell the lady.
00:10:44Hey.
00:10:44Yeah, what do you think they're doing?
00:10:46Excuse me.
00:10:48When the connection arrives, it's sure to be crowded.
00:10:50Wouldn't it be a good idea if you were to come in my compartment, you and your brother?
00:10:53The lady and her brother are travelling first class.
00:10:56Besides, he doesn't like you.
00:10:57Oh, a lot of people don't like me at first, but you'd be surprised how I grow on one.
00:11:00Even your brother might learn to care.
00:11:02Yes, I'm sure he would.
00:11:03But he's not my brother.
00:11:04Oh.
00:11:05I know.
00:11:06He's your father.
00:11:08I say, are these fellows annoying you again?
00:11:09Good afternoon.
00:11:10Sorry, Dad.
00:11:12Cheek.
00:11:17Dad!
00:11:19Dad!
00:11:21Open this door at once!
00:11:23Oh, I'm locked in.
00:11:25The door's further along, madam.
00:11:27That's just a window.
00:11:29Oh, thank you.
00:11:30So may I see you?
00:11:39Allow me, madam.
00:11:40Can I take your parcels?
00:11:41I'll take the Avery.
00:11:45One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
00:11:50And my guest mask.
00:11:53I'm going to see my evacuated nieces, you know.
00:11:55Oh, nice.
00:11:56They're staying on one of those farms.
00:11:58I'm taking them butter and eggs from London in case they can't get them down there.
00:12:02That one was very nice.
00:12:04How long?
00:12:05Well, that's Polly's.
00:12:07Sauce!
00:12:08He won't mind, will she?
00:12:10Oh, hey, wait a minute.
00:12:12I've left my basket in the guard's bag.
00:12:17Hey, you've left my basket in the bag.
00:12:19No, it isn't.
00:12:19I threw it out on the platform.
00:12:21Threw it out?
00:12:22You'll be hearing from my solicitors.
00:12:24You'll be hearing from the company.
00:12:25I'll tell my mum of you.
00:12:26Good job.
00:12:28Good job.
00:12:34Good job.
00:12:37Dead and alive, sort of homeless?
00:12:39Where is everybody?
00:12:42Hello?
00:12:44Hello?
00:12:48Hello?
00:12:49Hello?
00:12:50Shut it.
00:12:55Order?
00:13:02Anyone at home?
00:13:05There's no one around there?
00:13:08Yes, someone.
00:13:12Ah, about time two.
00:13:16When does our connection for Truro come in?
00:13:19Come in? It'd be gone a quarter of an hour ago.
00:13:21Oh, last, when's the next?
00:13:22There's no next. There's no more trains through here tonight.
00:13:25I'll be just going to lock up.
00:13:27Oh, Herbert. Now, Potter, when did the Truro train come in?
00:13:32In about nine hours, Mum.
00:13:34What?
00:13:35I'm afraid our train was so late that the connection wins without us.
00:13:39And do you know why it was so late?
00:13:40Our comic friend with his comic hat.
00:13:43Oh!
00:13:44Hey, you! What's his confounded name?
00:13:47Mr. Gander.
00:13:48Gander, come here.
00:13:52Most intelligent basket, that, you know, it seems to know me.
00:13:55Well, never will I go near it, he queets.
00:13:57As you got us into this mess, perhaps you can think of some way of getting us out of it.
00:14:00Out of what?
00:14:01Owing to your idiocy with Mr. Connection.
00:14:03Yes, and what's more, there's no train for nine hours.
00:14:06Nine hours?
00:14:07That'll be tomorrow, won't it?
00:14:09I've got to rehearse at Newquay at half past ten.
00:14:11You should have thought of that before you stopped the train.
00:14:14Oh, I know.
00:14:15We charter a special.
00:14:17Special, indeed.
00:14:18And who's going to pay for that?
00:14:19Well, they can take it out of the money I owe them.
00:14:20In for a fiver, in for a special.
00:14:22That's me.
00:14:23Excuse me, old man.
00:14:24You're getting those specials here.
00:14:26I could go up to four and six for a big one.
00:14:28Do you mean to tell me we can't get to Truro tonight?
00:14:30Aye.
00:14:31Leastways, not my train.
00:14:33Doesn't bear thinking about, does it, Elizabeth?
00:14:35That's right.
00:14:36I suppose that applies to Redrooth too, eh?
00:14:39No more trains tonight.
00:14:41Nowhere.
00:14:42But I'm expected at Redrooth.
00:14:43I promised Dr. Harabee a...
00:14:48Well, of all the quaint places.
00:14:50Oh, hello.
00:14:50Where does that line the other side go to?
00:14:54It don't go nowhere.
00:14:56Oh, don't go nowhere.
00:14:58He means it stays where it is.
00:14:59Ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:15:03I haven't said anything wrong.
00:15:06Hello.
00:15:07Oh, lovely.
00:15:08This is real concert party weather.
00:15:09This will send them in.
00:15:11Good gracious.
00:15:12He can't stand here and get soaked, eh?
00:15:16He could stand anywhere and get soaked.
00:15:22Pardon me.
00:15:37Closy little place, isn't it?
00:15:39Well, if this is the Cornish Riviera, give me Camberwell.
00:15:43It's gloomy, isn't it?
00:15:56No.
00:15:56So this is the rich Carlton.
00:15:58Oh, hello, me.
00:16:00There you are.
00:16:01What the devil are you doing?
00:16:02I was putting it on.
00:16:04Oh.
00:16:04Young man, you ought to be ashamed of yourself.
00:16:08Am I popular?
00:16:10Hello, Polly.
00:16:11Polly?
00:16:12Will you talk to me?
00:16:13Polly.
00:16:14Polly, moi d'amour.
00:16:16No.
00:16:17Scratch a poll.
00:16:18Very poll.
00:16:19There's a polly.
00:16:20There's a lovely girl.
00:16:22Are you one of the parents of Wimpole Street?
00:16:25Oh, don't do that.
00:16:26Not with company about.
00:16:27There she is.
00:16:28There's the girl.
00:16:29I say, I wonder if I could teach you to talk.
00:16:31I wonder if you could say Heil Hitler.
00:16:33Eh?
00:16:34No.
00:16:35Not with a beak like that.
00:16:36Don't listen to him, Polly.
00:16:39If you ladies and gentlemen be ready, I'd like to lock up now.
00:16:43Lock up?
00:16:43You're not going to turn us out in this.
00:16:45No.
00:16:45Why shall I catch old Monier?
00:16:47I've had new Monier, you know.
00:16:48Ha ha.
00:16:49That was witty.
00:16:50You can't stay here.
00:16:52No?
00:16:53Well, I'm going to surprise you for a start.
00:16:59We're all staying.
00:17:00The railway company's taken our money and it's got to play the game.
00:17:02Yes, even on a sticky wicket.
00:17:04But, Richard, if there aren't any more trains...
00:17:06Then he'll have to get us a bus or something.
00:17:07That's right.
00:17:08Give me a number six.
00:17:08I've got some friends who live in Hackney.
00:17:10All fares ready, no standing on top.
00:17:11Oh, shut up.
00:17:12I'm not travelling in any bus.
00:17:14I paid to go all the way by train.
00:17:16Besides, Polly hates the smell of petrol.
00:17:18Polly Polly, don't you?
00:17:20Er, there must be some way.
00:17:22Hmm?
00:17:22Er, Dr. Harrowby of Redrose is expecting me.
00:17:25I'm going there as his locum and he's leaving on holiday tonight.
00:17:28Yes, please, you must do something.
00:17:30We've got to get back tonight, haven't we, Herbert?
00:17:31That's right.
00:17:33For one thing, the ceremony's in the morning.
00:17:36Ceremony?
00:17:37Oh, you mean a family bereavement?
00:17:39Oh, no.
00:17:41Herbert means we're getting married.
00:17:43That's right.
00:17:44Oh, and cut myself a piece of wedding cake.
00:17:47Isn't that marvellous?
00:17:47I must kiss the bride.
00:17:49Oh, wrong lady.
00:17:50Excuse me.
00:17:51Speech, speech, must have a speech.
00:17:53I hope you'll be very happy.
00:17:54So do I.
00:17:55Same here.
00:17:55First a girl and then a boy.
00:17:57I'll be quiet.
00:17:58But this isn't much of a place to spend your last bachelor hours.
00:18:01Oh, I don't know.
00:18:02I've slept in worse.
00:18:03You want to see my Anderson shelter.
00:18:05I think I'd better get done.
00:18:07Call me at eight o'clock with a nice cup of tea.
00:18:09Shut up there, auntie.
00:18:10Good night all.
00:18:12There'll be no sleep in here.
00:18:14The last strain's done and I've got to lock up.
00:18:17You can't stay here.
00:18:18Don't.
00:18:18I've had enough of this nonsense.
00:18:20The least you can do is to ring up a garage and get us some sort of a conveyance to
00:18:22the
00:18:23nearest village.
00:18:23And we are staying here until you do.
00:18:25Yes.
00:18:26Surely there must be a hostelry somewhere.
00:18:29He means a bowser.
00:18:31All right.
00:18:32I'll try.
00:18:33Ah.
00:18:34Won't be no good, I tell you.
00:18:36I'll come with you.
00:18:37Passengers must cross by the footbridge.
00:18:40You stay where you are.
00:18:41You're a menace.
00:18:42And the next time you drop your hat out of the window, I hope you forget to take it off.
00:18:46You'll rue every word you've said.
00:18:51On front.
00:19:00I wonder if it stopped raining.
00:19:02I'll have a look.
00:19:07All right.
00:19:08What is it?
00:19:11My basket.
00:19:20Edna.
00:19:21You know what this means, don't you?
00:19:25We'll have to be together.
00:19:26All night.
00:19:28Yes, sir, but...
00:19:30Before we're married.
00:19:31Life...
00:19:33There's six other people with us, Herbert.
00:19:38She wouldn't believe it. Not if we said there were six too. Would she?
00:19:43No, Herbert.
00:19:46Who's going to face her in the morning?
00:19:49You, Herbert.
00:19:50Why should I? After all, she's your mother.
00:19:54She'll be your mother too tomorrow night, Herbert.
00:19:58That's right.
00:20:00Hello. This be Saul Archkin up at station.
00:20:04I've got eight passengers here.
00:20:06Yes, they missed the Truro connection.
00:20:09I know, but what am I going to do with them?
00:20:11They want you to send a bus for them.
00:20:15Yes, but... Hello.
00:20:20Well, what's the verdict? Did we get a bus?
00:20:22I said it wouldn't be no good.
00:20:24But I'll tell you what.
00:20:26If you would all walk across the foul village,
00:20:28maybe they'd put you up at the pub.
00:20:30Splendid, eh?
00:20:31I always say there are worse places than pubs, eh?
00:20:34Why didn't you tell us that before?
00:20:36It's all right, people. I fixed everything.
00:20:38There's no bus, but if we walk down to foul village,
00:20:40they'll wine us and dine us and put us to bed.
00:20:42Oh, good. Lovely.
00:20:44It's worth a dash through the rain for a night's rest.
00:20:47Just a minute. How far is this village?
00:20:49Oh, it's about, um... I don't know. How far is it?
00:20:53Oh, if you walk across the fields,
00:20:56it's only four short miles.
00:20:58Four short what?
00:20:59Four miles in this.
00:21:01Oh, wouldn't dream of it.
00:21:03Are you in the middle of a moat?
00:21:05Surely there's someplace nearer than foul village.
00:21:08That'd be the only place within ten miles of here.
00:21:11What do you think you're doing?
00:21:12Come on, give me a hand with this.
00:21:18I forgot all of that, my tisketter tasket.
00:21:20I do hope my trousseau's not ruined.
00:21:22Now, don't do that. You'll have puddles all over the floor.
00:21:25Well, I'm soaking wet. I've got to change.
00:21:26There's another thing you can't do. You can't change your...
00:21:28Well, that's a funny thing. The guard said we must all change your...
00:21:31Oh, er, go and change to the ticket office.
00:21:33All right. Come on, you basket.
00:21:38Don't leave me alone.
00:21:41No peeping.
00:21:44Well, we've got to stay here all night, so we might as well make ourselves comfortable.
00:21:51Don't you like that fire?
00:21:52Now, listen, my good man. You've said your piece, so jump on your bicycle and pedal off.
00:21:56I got my orders and I got to obey them.
00:21:59You can't stay here.
00:22:02And, er, who's going to stop us?
00:22:04I be.
00:22:05What are you going to do? Throw us out?
00:22:07Well, I suppose I'll have to.
00:22:09In that case, you can start on me.
00:22:10And me.
00:22:12Don't you lay your hands on me.
00:22:13Gentlemen, gentlemen.
00:22:15I do wish you'd ash.
00:22:16Polly wants to go to bed.
00:22:18We are staying here whether you like it or not.
00:22:20Understand?
00:22:21I can't leave the station with you people here.
00:22:24Then you'll have to stay here with us.
00:22:25No, that I won't.
00:22:27Why, what's the matter with it?
00:22:28Apart from everything.
00:22:29Anyone would think from the way you're going on the place was haunted.
00:22:33It is haunted.
00:22:36Oh, my God.
00:22:39Oh, Herbert.
00:22:41Oh.
00:22:57My next, Napoleon.
00:22:59Hold on.
00:23:02Haunted?
00:23:03What are you trying to do?
00:23:05Scare us out of here?
00:23:07It's beyond it, all right.
00:23:09You won't find any in these parties would stay here.
00:23:13Especially tonight.
00:23:14Well, as we've decided to stay the night,
00:23:16you'd better let us know what to expect.
00:23:20We have no story for ladies, yes.
00:23:22Well, after that, we've got to hear it.
00:23:24Yeah, come on, spit it.
00:23:25We want something to entertain us.
00:23:26Entertain you?
00:23:28Powers above.
00:23:30Oh, come on, do tell us.
00:23:38Very well.
00:23:40I warned you, we aren't no pretty story.
00:23:43Maybe when you've heard it,
00:23:44you'll change your mind about staying.
00:23:48Will you keep that uncounted bird quiet?
00:23:51It was the time of the diamond jubilee,
00:23:5343 years ago this very night.
00:23:56In them days, the stationmaster here was a man by the name of Ted Holmes.
00:24:00He was asking about the old line that runs on the other side.
00:24:03You mean the one that don't go nowhere?
00:24:05Aye, but in them days, the trains used to run on it.
00:24:08Through the undershore tunnel down to the old port.
00:24:11The other side of the tunnel, the line bridges the river.
00:24:14If you swing bridge worked by a lever wheel out there on the platform.
00:24:20This was the bridge.
00:24:21In 97, it was always left open for the clay boats to go out on the tide.
00:24:26And they closed it when the trains went across.
00:24:28But no train ever runs off of that bridge now.
00:24:31And it hadn't been closed for 43 years.
00:24:36And the day I'll be telling you about,
00:24:37a part of the year St. Blandsfolk went to a bean feast up at Truro.
00:24:40And they chartered a special to take him home late that night.
00:24:44Ben Isaacs was the driver of that special.
00:24:46But Ted Holmes was kept on late duty here to close the bridge.
00:24:49He was a sick man, but no one knew it at the time.
00:24:53When they phoned through here from Truro,
00:24:55Juan and Ted to close it as the special were starting off,
00:24:58Ted answers,
00:24:59as he'll go and shut the bridge that moment.
00:25:02But none were the last words he was ever heard to speak.
00:25:07Well, what happened?
00:25:10It was striking 11 o'clock when he lit his lamp and went out on the platform.
00:25:15He reached the bridge wheel,
00:25:16and as he tried to turn it,
00:25:23then the illness come on him.
00:25:27The poor chap something must have told him it was all up with him.
00:25:30But he gathered up his strength
00:25:31and struggled back towards the waiting room.
00:25:34His one thought was to get to that phone and stop the train from coming.
00:25:38But he never reached it.
00:25:41He falls down there,
00:25:43dead,
00:25:44but his lamp was still burning in his hand.
00:25:47The special was dead on time.
00:25:49The signals were with it,
00:25:51and it were coming along fast with the bridge wide open and said,
00:25:54Oh, I'm there dead.
00:25:57It did seem as though when he was just above the station,
00:25:59something warned Ben Isaacs the danger,
00:26:01for he traps on his brakes,
00:26:02and the train went a-tearing through the station here,
00:26:05with all the brakes on and the whistle screaming.
00:26:08It was no use.
00:26:09The train goes a-thundering through the tunnel,
00:26:12straight through the open bridge,
00:26:13and into the river.
00:26:14Crash!
00:26:17Horrible.
00:26:19Oh, Herbert.
00:26:22I wonder it weren't no pretty story you was making me tell.
00:26:26Yes, but where does the haunting come in?
00:26:30Some nights the signal bell rings,
00:26:33and the train comes screaming and a-tearing through the station with its whistle blowing.
00:26:38Probably a good train.
00:26:39I tell you there weren't no trains run on these metals from ten at night till seven in the morning.
00:26:45Besides,
00:26:46whatever it is,
00:26:48it never starts from Truro,
00:26:50and it never runs into St. Bland's.
00:26:53If it be a natural thing,
00:26:56where do it come from?
00:26:58Where do it go?
00:27:04Have you ever seen it?
00:27:06It shouldn't be here, if I add.
00:27:08What?
00:27:08They do say.
00:27:10Has to look on the ghost train.
00:27:12Don't mean death.
00:27:19You can stop here if you like,
00:27:21but not me.
00:27:22I got a wife and children looking to me.
00:27:23Do you mean you're afraid?
00:27:25Afraid?
00:27:25I am afraid.
00:27:26I bear the shame to warn it.
00:27:27Well, we're not.
00:27:29Very well.
00:27:30I've seen you've made up your mind to it.
00:27:33But,
00:27:34if he do hear a train,
00:27:36for God's sake,
00:27:38don't he go running out to look at it.
00:27:44Good night to a yawn.
00:27:46Good night, old boy.
00:27:47Thanks for the bedtime story.
00:27:52Cheerful bloke.
00:27:55I'm glad he's gone.
00:27:57Me hands have all come out in the perspiration.
00:28:00Ghost train.
00:28:03Never heard such nonsense in all my life.
00:28:07That railway accident did take place, you know.
00:28:10Yes, possibly.
00:28:11But all that nonsense about the sight of the train having killed people.
00:28:14Surely, as a medical man, you don't believe that.
00:28:16Of course he doesn't.
00:28:17Young lady.
00:28:19I expect you think I'm just an old-fashioned GP.
00:28:23Nowadays, if these specialists don't understand something,
00:28:26they chatter about inhibitions and split personalities.
00:28:30I prefer the immortal William.
00:28:32There are more things in heaven and earth.
00:28:36Ah, he knew a thing or two.
00:28:38Eh?
00:28:39You don't think there's anything in what he said, do you?
00:28:43Of course not.
00:28:45All chains.
00:28:45Come along, please.
00:28:46Any more for Dewsbury, Winsbury, Thursbury or Frybury?
00:28:48Yeah.
00:28:49Who will have a ticket for the ghost train?
00:28:50Guaranteed haunted in every bogey.
00:28:52Woo!
00:28:55Will you shut up?
00:28:56Shut up.
00:28:56Very good, sir.
00:28:58Pipe, please.
00:29:01This be a natural thing.
00:29:03Where do we come from?
00:29:05Where do we go?
00:29:07To think we've got to put up with that little squirt
00:29:09for the next eight hours.
00:29:11An alarming thought, eh?
00:29:13Have you played chess for any chance, Doctor?
00:29:15Chess?
00:29:16Yes, yes, I have played.
00:29:17I'm afraid I'm a bit rusty now, though.
00:29:19Well, it's hardly my game, of course, but
00:29:21it helps to pass the time away.
00:29:23Yes.
00:29:24I have a set here.
00:29:25Splendid.
00:29:44There we are, playmates.
00:29:45Never a dull moment.
00:29:46Gambit's at the rescue.
00:29:47He's a scream.
00:29:48Now, never mind about the ghost train.
00:29:49What you want is a bit of music to cheer you up.
00:29:51And here's a little song I want to sing at Newquay this summer.
00:29:53It'll paralyze them.
00:30:20Let's go.
00:30:43What a nasty man.
00:30:45Sitting next to him was a fellow with a French horn full of soul and bitter beer tumps on the
00:30:48can.
00:30:49Fellow with a cello, oom, oom, oom, oom, oom, oom.
00:30:51Trying very hard to saw it in two.
00:30:53His pal with a double bass, cuddling it fondly.
00:30:55Looking like a camel with a dose of the flu.
00:30:57Then with the piccolo, fed up with the damn thing.
00:30:59Sick and tired of hearing the same old toot.
00:31:00Thought he'd like a change, so he put it down beside him.
00:31:02And then started messing with a full-sized flute.
00:31:04A man with a bassoon.
00:31:05Nothing on his music.
00:31:06Sounds like a boot.
00:31:07Never said a word.
00:31:08Just as I thought he was going to fall asleep.
00:31:10He picked up his bassoon.
00:31:13And gave us all the birds.
00:31:41Why, you little...
00:31:43Richard!
00:31:44I'll not...
00:31:44Richard!
00:31:45After all, you started it.
00:31:46Yes, yes.
00:31:47We don't want any more unpleasantness, do we?
00:31:49Well, I've had just about enough of him.
00:31:51I was only trying to cheer things up.
00:31:53Well, don't.
00:31:57So you don't want me to entertain you, eh?
00:31:59No.
00:32:02Norbert!
00:32:03Napoleon!
00:32:24I heard something!
00:32:26In there!
00:32:28In where?
00:32:29The refreshment room?
00:32:31I'll go and see.

00:32:35Yes, certainly.

00:38:15The lady didn't say what her name was.
00:38:16Well, I told her what my name was.
00:38:17Well, that's no reason to come in here.
00:38:19If it'll stop you two arguing, it's Winthrop.
00:38:21Jackie Winthrop.
00:38:22Winthrop?
00:38:23Oh, the same as R.G. in there.
00:38:25Well, he's not your brother.
00:38:26And he's not your father.
00:38:28He can't be your sister even if he does play hockey for Ampshire.
00:38:31Look, Karen, is this a cross-examination?
00:38:33Oh, I don't mind.
00:38:33Well, I do.
00:38:34This silly little man's done nothing but force his attentions on you ever since he lost his silly hat.
00:38:38Well, I can't call her Miss Watson, eh?
00:38:40Beside, I was only trying to help.
00:38:41Well, go and help the people in the other room.
00:38:42Oh, I don't want to.
00:38:43Go on.
00:38:43Oh, no.
00:38:45Let's go.
00:38:49He's your cousin.
00:38:52And you're not, um...
00:38:55No.
00:38:56That's all I wanted to know.
00:38:59I say, don't be so miserable.
00:39:02Oh, come on.
00:39:03Cheer up.
00:39:03Don't do that.
00:39:05Giving me the palpitations.
00:39:08I say, talking about ghosts...
00:39:09We're not.
00:39:10But I am.
00:39:12Talking about ghosts reminds me of a story about Golders Green.
00:39:15Do you know Golders Green?
00:39:16The Underground?
00:39:17No, the crematorium.
00:39:19Oh?
00:39:21One day, as they were pushing the bodies in...
00:39:24Shut up.
00:39:25Wait a minute.
00:39:26As they were pushing the bodies in...
00:39:28Will you shut up?
00:39:30Don't you see you're frightening the ladies?
00:39:31Don't be silly.
00:39:32You're enjoying it, aren't you?
00:39:33No, I'm not.
00:39:34Oh.
00:39:35Perhaps you'd rather I told you the story about the man who had his tongue torn out.
00:39:40No, I wouldn't.
00:39:42Oh, aren't you a difficult lot?
00:39:45Tea for eight coming up.
00:39:46Oh, don't you see you.
00:39:49Eight cups of tea.
00:39:49What about Ted?
00:39:50Doesn't he get one?
00:39:51Ted?
00:39:52Who's Ted?
00:39:52Ted Holmes.
00:39:54I bet he's a bit thirsty by now.
00:39:55After all, he's been lying here these past 43 years.
00:39:58That's not funny.
00:39:59I know it's not funny.
00:40:00How would you like to be lying there with a lamp still burning in your hands?
00:40:03Will you?
00:40:04Oh, come and help me lay the table.
00:40:06Yes, all right.
00:40:07Excuse me.
00:40:10Can we have this?
00:40:11Tar, give it to you back afterwards.
00:40:12Now, don't fuss.
00:40:13There you are.
00:40:14Move these.
00:40:14Aye, thank you all.
00:40:15That's splendid.
00:40:17There we are.
00:40:18First service now ready.
00:40:19Take your seats for the first service.
00:40:26Charlie, hot coffee and buttered rolls twice.
00:40:29Oh, and a semolina for the spook.
00:40:32Won't be long now, sir.
00:40:36Oh, I shouldn't put him here.
00:40:37Why?
00:40:38He's too near Ted's lamp.
00:40:40He'll singe his parson's nose.
00:40:42Wait a minute.
00:40:48You're asking for a judgment, young man.
00:40:51Joking like that about them that's gone.
00:40:53Oh, old Ted wouldn't mind.
00:40:55If he was alive now, he'd die of laughing.
00:40:57Wouldn't you, Ted?
00:40:58Good old Ted.
00:41:02Herbert, ask them if you'd like one of our sandwiches.
00:41:05No.
00:41:06Why not?
00:41:07We want them.
00:41:10Would you like one of our sandwiches?
00:41:12We might as well share what we've got.
00:41:14Oh, it's awfully sweet of you.
00:41:15Oh, that's all right.
00:41:16We've got plenty.
00:41:17Haven't we, Herbert?
00:41:18That's right.
00:41:19I've got two hard-boiled eggs.
00:41:22They don't agree with me.
00:41:24Quite a party.
00:41:25Tea, eggs, sandwiches.
00:41:26Yeah, isn't this fun?
00:41:27Let's see what else we can collect.
00:41:28Oh, I've got the salt.
00:41:29Two pieces of sugar.
00:41:31Oh, tar.
00:41:31Oh, no, they're for polish.
00:41:33You always have my rashie.
00:41:34Ah.
00:41:36Oh.
00:41:37I always give mine to Ted.
00:41:39Now then, sir, what about a slice of lemon for half time?
00:41:42Now, I warn you, gander.
00:41:44There you go.
00:41:45I have a little brandy here I always carry with me.
00:41:48They're for medicinal purposes, of course.
00:41:50Oh, yes, I can see the cough.
00:41:52Cold, yes.
00:41:53If anyone else would like a sip with a tea, eh?
00:41:55Brandy?
00:41:57Disgusting.
00:41:58I don't know how a doctor can bring himself to mention it.
00:42:00Oh.
00:42:01I must say, I'm not surprised coming from him.
00:42:04Do you mean to say you've never tasted brandy in your tea?
00:42:06I've never tasted alcohol in my life.
00:42:09Then you shouldn't knock it back so quickly.
00:42:10You should chew it a bit.
00:42:11Thank you, doctor.
00:42:12Here's my contribution.
00:42:14Two sausage rolls, very rare specimens.
00:42:16Who's the wreath from?
00:42:17Put it down.
00:42:18Don't touch the exhibits.
00:42:19Yeah, go and force your rhubarb.
00:42:21Would you like to have a ground?
00:42:23Will you have one?
00:42:24Oh, thanks.
00:42:24Sausage roll.
00:42:25I don't recommend them.
00:42:28Oh, he stuck his foot out that time.
00:42:30Oh, come and sit down.
00:42:32Richard.
00:42:33Sinty.
00:42:34Oh, thanks.
00:42:35Sausage roll, doctor.
00:42:36Oh, no thanks.
00:42:38What, no cake?
00:42:38We had a bit of cake, but we ate it at Plymouth, didn't we, Herbert?
00:42:42That's right.
00:42:42It's not right.
00:42:43How can you have your cake and eat it at Plymouth?
00:42:45Ha-ha.
00:42:45Ha.
00:42:46Oh, well, uh, I haven't provided anything yet.
00:42:49Now, let me see.
00:42:50Oh, there's a chocolate machine outside.
00:42:51Give me your pennies and I'll provide the sweet.
00:42:53Eh?
00:42:53The first sensible thing you've said.
00:42:55Come on, let's have your lovely pennies.
00:42:57Ta.
00:42:57My benefit next Tuesday.
00:42:59There we are.
00:43:00What about you, auntie?
00:43:01Two hatiners.
00:43:02Two hatiners.
00:43:03Oh, well, here you are.
00:43:03Give me those.
00:43:04I'll give you a penny.
00:43:05That's right, isn't it?
00:43:07Yes.
00:43:07Yeah.
00:43:24There you are, Ted.
00:43:25Now he's in nobody's way.
00:43:30That was the other foot.
00:43:32Oh, shut that door!
00:43:34Oh, my God!
00:43:35Oh, my God!
00:43:35Oh, my God!
00:43:35Oh, my God!
00:43:36Oh, my God!
00:43:36Oh, my God!
00:43:36Oh, my God!
00:43:37Get out of the stairs!
00:43:38Oh, my God!
00:43:39Oh, my God!
00:43:40Oh, my God!
00:43:40Oh, my God!
00:43:40Oh, my God!
00:43:41Oh, my God!
00:43:44Oh, my God!
00:43:44Oh, my God!
00:43:44I don't think I'll feel much like eating.
00:43:46Well, you ought to try, Miss Hocking, Miss Hocking, Miss Hocking.
00:43:50But it'll be Edmund Perkins tomorrow, won't it?
00:43:52I hope so.
00:43:56What the...?
00:44:07Oh, my God!
00:44:08Oh, my God!
00:44:11There you are.
00:44:14Chocolates?
00:44:16Chocolates, you silly little man.
00:44:18These are matches.
00:44:19But I...
00:44:20I...
00:44:22That is.
00:44:24That's right.
00:44:25Oh, never mind. We'll do without.
00:44:27Well, we just have to smoke lots of cigarettes and use them up.
00:44:29Cigarette, Doctor.
00:44:30Oh, cigarettes.
00:44:32Talking of cigarettes reminds me of something that once happened to me.
00:44:36Do you know, I was sitting in a railway carriage,
00:44:38opposite a man with a bowler hat,
00:44:40and he was smoking a cigarette.
00:44:43Well, the cigarette got shorter and shorter,
00:44:47and suddenly I realized it was burning right through his lip.
00:44:51Sizzle.
00:44:53Sizzle.
00:44:55Sizzle.
00:44:57I found out afterwards he'd been dead since Clapham Junction.
00:45:01Now, look here. Just because sound fool of a station master tells a story that...
00:45:13There's someone coming down the platform.
00:45:21I found out.
00:45:25Rosanna?
00:45:53It's the station, master.
00:46:04Look serious.
00:46:05Take him into the other room.
00:46:06I'll get some water.
00:46:08I'll go.
00:46:09I know what it is.
00:46:11Tipping office.
00:46:24Better get him on the table here.
00:46:56Oh, dear.
00:46:57Oh, dear.
00:46:58I think I'm going off, too.
00:47:01I'm just as frightened as you are, but we must time for ourselves together.
00:47:11Hey, Cez.
00:47:13I run all the way.
00:47:14I'm afraid you're too late.
00:47:15Poor fellow.
00:47:19We'll have to phone the police.
00:47:21I'll do that.
00:47:23Well, we'd better get back to the ladies.
00:47:30How is he?
00:47:32He's dead.
00:47:33Dead?
00:47:34I fear so.
00:47:35As far as I can tell, he died of shock.
00:47:37I say, you don't think there is anything in that stall either?
00:47:39No, we don't.
00:47:40Well, if you don't, I do.
00:47:42But you've got to take me out of here.
00:47:44You can't go in this weather.
00:47:45I'm not stopping here with no corpses.
00:47:47Yes, but where are we going to?
00:47:49I don't know.
00:47:50Back to mother somehow.
00:47:52I think I'd rather stay here with the deceased.
00:47:55I'm not stopping here with no corpses.
00:47:57Not for nobody.
00:47:58Come on, Herbert.
00:48:06Richard, you're not going to let them go like that.
00:48:08If they want to go, it's their funeral.
00:48:10Who said funerals?
00:48:12Now, don't you worry.
00:48:13Everything's going to be all right.
00:48:14Oh, dear.
00:48:16To think that such a thing should happen to me.
00:48:18But nothing has happened to you.
00:48:20Yet.
00:48:22Try this.
00:48:28Oh, dear.
00:48:29I shall never be the same woman I've got.
00:48:31I can't get through to the police.
00:48:32The line must be down.
00:48:34Oh, get in.
00:48:34Place.
00:48:35What do we want the place for?
00:48:37Oh, we need to see if they can get in the car.
00:48:39Where's the happy couple?
00:48:40They're gone.
00:48:41Gone?
00:48:42Where to?
00:48:42They've gone to break the news to mother.
00:48:45I want to go, too.
00:48:46I don't like it here.
00:48:48I want to go home.
00:48:50Doctor, isn't there anything we can do for her?
00:48:51Well, uh...
00:48:52Ah, here we are.
00:48:53Doctor Hennessy's blood mixture.
00:48:55Now, this will put you on your feet.
00:48:56I'll knock you off them.
00:48:59Cheerio.
00:49:02Do you feel better now?
00:49:03You certainly look better.
00:49:05Here.
00:49:06Try a drop more.
00:49:11It smells like Christmas pudding.
00:49:16Oh, I believe it's brandy.
00:49:18No.
00:49:19Is it really?
00:49:20Let me see.
00:49:24Do you know I believe you're right?
00:49:26This is just what you want.
00:49:27Not likely.
00:49:28I was born and raised strict temperance.
00:49:31And so I mean to stay.
00:49:33But this is medicine.
00:49:35Well, if you're sure.
00:49:37But only a tiny drop now.
00:49:39Just to ease the palpitation.
00:49:41Yes.
00:49:48Oh, now I've broken the pledge.
00:49:54It's warming me all the way down.
00:49:56Yes.
00:49:57You wait till it gets to the junction.
00:49:59It's not really nasty, is it?
00:50:02No.
00:50:02Oh, I mean as medicines go.
00:50:05That seems to be going pretty well.
00:50:07I think I'd better take that.
00:50:10Just a minute.
00:50:14All right.
00:50:15I think I'll go.
00:50:15She's got a bed the same as you had.
00:50:18Now sit that slowly and you'll be as white as rain.
00:50:21That's right.
00:50:22Got a funny taste, doesn't it?
00:50:27Listen, I've just thought of something funny.
00:50:29Well, that's a change.
00:50:30You remember when he fell through the door?
00:50:31Yeah.
00:50:32It was just 11 o'clock.
00:50:34What about it?
00:50:35Don't you remember?
00:50:36The station master said that that was the time that Ted owns...
00:50:39Will you shut up about all that?
00:50:41I was only trying...
00:50:43Hey!
00:50:44Here, here, here, here!
00:50:45Ooh!
00:50:47Look!
00:50:48All gone!
00:50:50Now, what have you been a-doing of?
00:50:55Do you know, in spite of all these terrible happenings, I'm beginning to feel quite happy.
00:51:04You naughty girl!
00:51:06You're tight and you like it.
00:51:09Oh, dear, what can the matter be?
00:51:13Oh, dear, what can the matter be?
00:51:17Oh, dear, I think you'd better go and lie down.
00:51:20Don't lie down yourself.
00:51:22I mean, you'd be much more comfortable.
00:51:24I'm lovely and comfortable, thank you.
00:51:26Whoa!
00:51:27Oh, wait!
00:51:27Oh, Emma!
00:51:28Whoops-a-daisy!
00:51:29Whoops-a-blooming buttercup!
00:51:31The Buffet.
00:51:32Little Miss Muffet, off to the Buffet!
00:51:35You know, everything's going well.
00:51:38I did, just as I did when I come up the big wheel platform.
00:51:42Ooh, not surprised!
00:51:44Oh, dear, what, Kevin?
00:51:46Where are we going to?
00:51:47Now, now, now, we're going to put you to bed.
00:51:50Young man, I think you forget yourself.
00:51:54Young woman, I think you flatter yourself.
00:51:57Oh, dear.
00:51:59There you go.
00:52:01Oh, I don't want to go in here.
00:52:02Yeah, go on, here you go.
00:52:03I don't want to go in here.
00:52:05Oh, come on.
00:52:08Here we are.
00:52:09This will make a lovely bed.
00:52:11Come on.
00:52:11Oh, thank you, but I've got a beautiful bed in my own.
00:52:15Now?
00:52:16Oh, yes, I have.
00:52:18I've got brass bedsteads in every room.
00:52:21What do you think of that, Titch?
00:52:23You hear that?
00:52:24Brass bedsteads.
00:52:26Brass bedsteads.
00:52:27With knobs on.
00:52:30Knobs!
00:52:36Whoa, take it easy, Mrs.
00:52:38Whoa-ho!
00:52:38Misses, Miss, Miss Bourne.
00:52:42I'm spinstress.
00:52:45Spinstress?
00:52:45With knobs on.
00:52:47I'm maiden laden.
00:52:48Here we are.
00:52:50I assume we might be comfortable.
00:52:53And let me tell you, my bonnie blue-eyed boy,
00:52:58I was not neglected in my youth.
00:53:03Will one of you go get her rug for a while?
00:53:05I'll get it.
00:53:05Yeah, I'll get it.
00:53:06I'll get it.
00:53:06Come on, now.
00:53:07No use.
00:53:09No use.
00:53:10No knobs.
00:53:11Not?
00:53:12Never mind.
00:53:13Come on.
00:53:14No knobs.
00:53:15Wait a minute.
00:53:16Have you seen this?
00:53:17What?
00:53:18They all stay on.
00:53:24Well, when the chap did it at the hippodome,
00:53:26they all stayed on.
00:53:27Ah, good.
00:53:29There you are.
00:53:29Come on, now, you'll be as snug as a rug in a bug.
00:53:34Look.
00:53:36Noobs.
00:53:39Noobs.
00:53:40Lovely noobs.
00:53:41There you are.
00:53:41Noobs.
00:53:41Now go to sleep.
00:53:42Shh, shh, shh, shh.
00:53:43Go to Bobo.
00:53:44No.
00:53:46No.
00:53:46This place is getting more like a madhouse every minute.
00:53:50Richard.
00:53:51What?
00:53:52I thought I heard a scream.
00:53:56You're imagining things.
00:54:01What's the matter?
00:54:08That's all right.
00:54:09Nothing to worry about.
00:54:10You're quite safe.
00:54:11Oh, he's coming this way.
00:54:17Let me in.
00:54:18Let me in.
00:54:26You must help me.
00:54:27Please help me.
00:54:29Hide me from him.
00:54:30Hide you?
00:54:31What do you mean?
00:54:33That he's coming.
00:54:34He'll want to take me back, but I'm not going.
00:54:36I'm not.
00:54:37I've got to see it tonight.
00:54:39I know it'll come.
00:54:41I always know.
00:54:42I'm afraid I don't follow you.
00:54:44But you know.
00:54:44You must know.
00:54:48There's a car coming down the road.
00:54:51It's him.
00:54:53Don't let him find me.
00:54:57You can't go in there.
00:54:59Then where can I go?
00:55:00We'll look after you, won't we?
00:55:02But he's coming, I tell you.
00:55:03Listen.
00:55:12He's crashed.
00:55:13I'll go out there.
00:55:15You better stay here, then, sir.
00:55:16I'm coming.
00:55:17Better come too, doctor.
00:55:18Yeah, that's my coat.
00:55:19Oh, you look after the shop.
00:55:26Are you hurt?
00:55:28No, I don't think so.
00:55:30You've given me a car a bit of a headache.
00:55:33Oh, look here.
00:55:33I've heard of it raining cats and poodles, but that was stopping from his ear.
00:55:40Some jam-pull-lessed nugget in the middle of the road.
00:55:43Must be Edmund and Herbert.
00:55:44We can't hang about a list.
00:55:46Better come with us.
00:55:47There's a fire in the wick room.
00:55:48Bring the pender with you.
00:55:50Oh, he won't half laugh when he sees this.
00:55:55Stand there and keep quiet.
00:56:06Oh, Herbert.
00:56:07Look at our fenders.
00:56:09And my true soul.
00:56:12Oh.
00:56:16Well, who the devil are you people?
00:56:18Well, who the devil are you?
00:56:20Yes.
00:56:21My name's Price.
00:56:22Oh, I'm Tommy Gandalf.
00:56:23He's a scream.
00:56:24Comedian and entertainer.
00:56:26So far, you've been neither.
00:56:28Neither.
00:56:29Neither.
00:56:29Neither.
00:56:30Oh, we've been through all that.
00:56:31Oh, Herbert.
00:56:32My new night.
00:56:34I shan't have anything to wear tomorrow night.
00:56:37That's right.
00:56:39What are you all doing here at this time of night?
00:56:41We might ask you the same question.
00:56:43I came out to look for my sister.
00:56:45Your sister?
00:56:46Yes.
00:56:47I had certain reasons for believing that she'd come to this place.
00:56:49Oh?
00:56:50And why do you think she'd come here?
00:56:51I can't be expected to go into that with strangers.
00:56:54In that case, I'm afraid we can't help you.
00:56:56I see.
00:56:56Then I'm afraid I shall look for myself.
00:57:05So she is in there.
00:57:07Before we get belligerent, don't you think some explanation would help?
00:57:11All right.
00:57:13You must know.
00:57:15My sister's, well, not quite normal.
00:57:18She suffers from delusions.
00:57:22Normally, she's kept under observation.
00:57:25Tonight, she got away.
00:57:28It's a lie.
00:57:30Don't listen to him.
00:57:32He's trying to take me back.
00:57:34So there you are, Julia.
00:57:37It's no good.
00:57:39I can't come back.
00:57:40You know I can't.
00:57:41Now, be sensible, Julia.
00:57:42Oh, what's the good of talking?
00:57:46I must stay here.
00:57:50I can't help myself.
00:57:52Julia.
00:57:53Don't touch me.
00:57:54Go away.
00:57:55Just a minute.
00:57:56How do we know that you're telling the truth?
00:57:58Here, here.
00:57:59Perhaps you'll be good enough to mind your own business.
00:58:00It is my business if you insist on taking her away against her will.
00:58:03I associate myself with that unanimously.
00:58:05Now, look here, Mr. McIntosh.
00:58:07What's it got to do with you?
00:58:09It's right.
00:58:10What's it got to do with me?
00:58:11Julia.
00:58:13Don't let him take me back, please.
00:58:15Why can't she stay here?
00:58:17At least until she's feeling better.
00:58:19Now, listen to me, please.
00:58:20You people have heard the story of this place, I suppose.
00:58:23About the train that starts screaming around Ted Holmes' land.
00:58:27Rush!
00:58:28He means the ghost train.
00:58:30So called.
00:58:31Well, that infernal nonsense is responsible for my sister's mental condition.
00:58:35She was near this station one night several years ago.
00:58:37She thought she saw the train.
00:58:39But I did see it.
00:58:40You know I saw it.
00:58:41I did see it.
00:58:42Yes, yes.
00:58:43It was a great shock to her.
00:58:45So great a shock that it, well, affected her permanently.
00:58:50Some nights she gets the idea that the ghost train will run.
00:58:53It has a morbid fascination for her.
00:58:55She feels she must see it again.
00:58:58Tonight is one of those occasions.
00:59:00Now, I hope you understand.
00:59:03But it will come to light.
00:59:06I know it will.
00:59:07Yes, yes.
00:59:09By the way, who told you this story?
00:59:10The station master.
00:59:12With all the trimmings.
00:59:13Mind you, he wound us.
00:59:14Twent no pretty story.
00:59:15What old Saul Hodgkin, where is he?
00:59:17He's in the ticket office.
00:59:19He's dead.
00:59:20That's right.
00:59:21Saul Hodgkin dead?
00:59:23Good heavens.
00:59:24His troubles are over.
00:59:28I've locked the door.
00:59:37Is this a joke?
00:59:38Because if so, it doesn't amuse me.
00:59:41Of course not.
00:59:42We put him on there ourselves.
00:59:43Well, where is he now?
00:59:44I don't know.
00:59:45We were all in the other room, so he can't have got out.
00:59:46Apart from being dead.
00:59:49He's gone.
00:59:50He can't have.
00:59:52When's all this supposed to have happened?
00:59:54Well, it happened all right.
00:59:56We all saw it.
00:59:57Just arrived.
00:59:58Yes, you ask this gentleman.
00:59:59He's a doctor.
01:00:00He should know a dead body when he sees one.
01:00:03Yes, I rather think I should.
01:00:05The man was certainly dead.
01:00:07A heart failure.
01:00:08In my opinion, a result of a shock.
01:00:10What happened exactly?
01:00:11Well, he left here to go home.
01:00:13About 20 minutes later, we heard footsteps.
01:00:16When I opened the door, he fell forward into the room.
01:00:18Which door?
01:00:20That one.
01:00:23I knew it.
01:00:25Don't you see?
01:00:26It wasn't Saul Hodgkin at all.
01:00:27It was Ted Holmes, coming back from the dead.
01:00:32What did he look like?
01:00:33You mean his face?
01:00:34Yes, yes.
01:00:35Well, have you ever seen a bad nut?
01:00:38Dick Glossom?
01:00:39He was a tall, gaunt sort of fellow.
01:00:41Are you sure of that?
01:00:42Of course.
01:00:43It wasn't the stationmaster.
01:00:46It was Ted Holmes.
01:00:49Come now, Julia, you're upsetting everybody.
01:00:50It must have been Hodgkin.
01:00:52Then where is he?
01:00:53A man couldn't vanish into thin air.
01:00:56And the time when all this happened.
01:00:58It was 11 o'clock, wasn't it?
01:01:00Wasn't it?
01:01:01A shock.
01:01:03That proves it.
01:01:05We've got to get her away from here.
01:01:07No.
01:01:07I'm staying.
01:01:09I'm staying here till it comes.
01:01:11You know it will come.
01:01:13You say, I imagine it, but you only want to put me away like you did before.
01:01:17No, I'm not leaving.
01:01:18I'm going to see it.
01:01:19I must see it.
01:01:20Even if it kills me.
01:01:21That's enough, Julia.
01:01:22Sir, in destiny!
01:01:22Julia!
01:01:23If you don't mind.
01:01:25If she were a patient of mine, I'd let her stay, you know.
01:01:28You don't understand.
01:01:29Quite likely.
01:01:30They do say I'm old-fashioned.
01:01:32But if she stays and the train doesn't come, and it won't, she will realize then that it
01:01:37is only a delusion.
01:01:38Surely that's only common sense.
01:01:40Eh?
01:01:41All right.
01:01:42Don't think I'm going to be any party to this tom poolery.
01:01:45As soon as I can find another car, you're coming back with me.
01:01:49Mr. McIntosh, if we shouldn't be here when you get back, will you see the paper spell
01:01:52my name right?
01:01:53G-A-N-P-E.
01:01:59He's gone.
01:02:00Yes.
01:02:01You'll be all right now.
01:02:03As soon as the rain stops, we can all go.
01:02:04No, I'm staying here.
01:02:07Of course.
01:02:08Just as you like.
01:02:10Like.
01:02:10Like?
01:02:11It isn't as I like.
01:02:13It's because I can't help myself.
01:02:17This place terrifies me.
01:02:20But it fascinates me, too.
01:02:23It's full of eyes.
01:02:26I stare.
01:02:28I stare.
01:02:30Don't look at me like that.
01:02:32You think I'm mad, but I'm not mad.
01:02:34Oh, no.
01:02:35I, I, I, I, uh, I, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh,
01:02:38uh,
01:02:40You see, I know what's going to happen.
01:02:43And it's going to happen soon.
01:02:45The scream of brakes.
01:02:46The shriek of the whistle.
01:02:49Louder, louder!
01:02:51Why don't you all go now and leave me before it's too late?
01:02:55When the train comes.
01:02:56The train won't come.
01:02:57It came that night.
01:02:58I saw it thundering down the valley.
01:03:00On, on, into the river.
01:03:03Then I saw Ben Isaacs, the driver,
01:03:05coming back out of the tunnel.
01:03:07But weren't they all killed?
01:03:09All except Ben Isaacs.
01:03:10He was thrown clear.
01:03:12He came back to the station singing.
01:03:16Singing rock of ages.
01:03:19His mind had gone.
01:03:23They say that before the ghost train runs,
01:03:28you hear the bell ringing.
01:03:30Dismally.
01:03:32It'll be here soon.
01:03:33I know it.
01:03:34Yes.
01:03:35Look.
01:03:37Don't you see?
01:03:39There.
01:03:40What's it?
01:03:40Look.
01:03:41It's Ted Holmes again.
01:03:43Coming out of the office.
01:03:48Don't you see?
01:03:51Yes.
01:03:52Yes, of course.
01:03:53But don't you think it would be better if we all...
01:04:02I don't know.
01:04:03I don't know.
01:04:03He's crossing towards the door.
01:04:07Look.
01:04:09He's opening the door.
01:04:20It's all right.
01:04:21It's only the wind.
01:04:24I've got an auntie who suffers with that.
01:04:26Her doors are always blowing open.
01:04:28My auntie, Flory.
01:04:30I think this room's worrying you.
01:04:31Let's go into the refreshment room.
01:04:33If you open the door now, you'll find he's still there.
01:04:38We'll soon see.
01:04:40No, it won't!
01:04:42Now listen to me, my dear.
01:04:44There's nothing to worry about.
01:04:46Come over by the fire.
01:04:48Come along.
01:04:50There.
01:04:58Now listen.
01:04:59I've got a nasty feeling we haven't got over the worst of this yet.
01:05:01I want you to promise that if anything unpleasant happens, you'll be guided by me.
01:05:05All right.
01:05:07Look!
01:05:08Look!
01:05:08The light's going out.
01:05:16Why don't you go?
01:05:17There's still time.
01:05:18We can't go.
01:05:20Then stop your ears.
01:05:21For God's sake, don't look.
01:05:23Remember what happened to me.
01:05:25You must be warned.
01:05:26You must be warned.
01:05:26You must be warned.
01:05:30You must be warned.
01:05:32The signal bell.
01:05:34Now, will you believe me?
01:05:37Nonsense.
01:05:38That doesn't prove anything.
01:05:39But the bell.
01:05:39It always rings.
01:05:41Now look here.
01:05:42This is absurd.
01:05:46What was that?
01:05:47What?
01:05:49I thought I heard a train whistle.
01:05:51It's coming.
01:05:54It's coming.
01:05:56She's right.
01:05:57It is a train.
01:05:59Thundering down the valley.
01:06:01It's coming.
01:06:02It's coming.
01:06:04On, on.
01:06:06I'm going to look.
01:06:07No.
01:06:11Be well, though.
01:06:20It's coming.
01:06:20You're shocked.
01:06:22Listen.
01:06:24Listen to it.
01:06:26I've got to see it.
01:06:27I must see it.
01:06:29I must see it.
01:06:29Give it to her.
01:06:30Give it to her.
01:06:46Give it to her.
01:06:52Is she...
01:06:53Is she dead?
01:06:55No, no.
01:06:56That pulse is weak, but steady enough.
01:06:58Would you get me some water, please?
01:07:00Yes, of course.
01:07:01Wait a minute.
01:07:02There's no more water in there.
01:07:03I'll get some from outside.
01:07:04You show me where it is.
01:07:06Oh!
01:07:07I've just remembered.
01:07:08The ghost train had all its lights on.
01:07:09Well, what about it?
01:07:10Well, they'll get pinched.
01:07:11It's after blackout time.
01:07:12Don't be silly.
01:07:12All that was 43 years ago.
01:07:14There was no war on then.
01:07:16Yes, there was.
01:07:16There was the Boa Boa.
01:07:19I can't stand any more of this.
01:07:22I've come to the end of the tether.
01:07:23Where's the other stock?
01:07:25You...
01:07:26Now, I want you to go right back in there,
01:07:28and whatever happens,
01:07:29don't let anyone leave.
01:07:30Where are you going?
01:07:31To get some water.
01:07:32We don't need any water.
01:07:33Well, what about Fanny Fadeaway?
01:07:35Yes, the doctor said.
01:07:36Please.
01:07:36There's no time to explain that now.
01:07:37You said you'd trust me.
01:07:39Yes, I do.
01:07:40But where will you be?
01:07:41We're going outside to do a bit of snooping.
01:07:44Snooping?
01:07:44That's an idea.
01:07:45You be Charlie-chan.
01:07:46I be honourable son.
01:07:48What if they ask me where you are?
01:07:50Tell them unwary servants take the explicable glass to get unsplicable water.
01:07:54Go on.
01:07:55Go back inside there.
01:07:56That's a good girl.
01:07:57Blow.
01:07:58Blow.
01:07:58Blow.
01:08:00She's gone.
01:08:01Now, where's this bridge wheel?
01:08:02What bridge wheel?
01:08:03Oh, I don't know whether I'd bother about that.
01:08:04Remember what happened to Edward?
01:08:06Edward?
01:08:06Edward Old.
01:08:07Oh, go on.
01:08:08Show me where it is.
01:08:09This way?
01:08:12That's it over there.
01:08:13It looks like a washing up machine.
01:08:15Oh, so this is the historic stock.
01:08:19I say, it doesn't go smoke smell funny.
01:08:21I bet you can't say that quickly.
01:08:23It doesn't go smoke smell...
01:08:25Found that with me other teeth in.
01:08:27Hello, it isn't there.
01:08:28What isn't?
01:08:29The old man's lamp.
01:08:30I put it there when I came to get the water.
01:08:32I say, didn't old Saul Hodgkin say this bridge was always open?
01:08:35It ain't been closed these 43 years, it ain't.
01:08:37It ain't, eh?
01:08:38Well, look at that.
01:08:39Closed.
01:08:40That's funny.
01:08:41It was open just now.
01:09:00Ben Isaacs.
01:09:04He's coming back.
01:09:08Oh, I warned you, I warned you.
01:09:10No.
01:09:10He of sin, the double cure.
01:09:17Cleanse me from its guilt and power.
01:09:26There were shots.
01:09:28Got him.
01:09:29Don't let him get away.
01:09:40Don't let him.
01:09:53Don't let him get away.
01:09:55I'm sorry.
01:09:55I can't see any ghosts.
01:09:57I suppose we haven't run through it.
01:10:04Henley.
01:10:05Henley.
01:10:07Henley.
01:10:07Henley!
01:10:08Henley, where are you?
01:10:09Henley.
01:10:09Henley.
01:10:10Henley.
01:10:10Henley, where are you?
01:10:13John, take me away from here. I'll come with you now.
01:10:17It's all right, Julian. I've managed to get a bus. It's outside.
01:10:19Oh, well played, sir. That's right. Come on, Edna.
01:10:22If you're ready, I suggest we don't waste any time.
01:10:24We've been here too long as it is.
01:10:26Yes, but some idiot's been fooling around with a gun outside.
01:10:29What? Didn't you hear?
01:10:31Yes, just now. But you can't leave here until...
01:10:35Until the police arrive.
01:10:37So you're the idiot with the gun.
01:10:39I might have known it.
01:10:42What the blazes have you been shooting at?
01:10:45A ghost. No ordinary ghost, either.
01:10:48This one had a signature tune.
01:10:51Oh, I'm sick of all this nonsense. Come on, let's go.
01:10:54Wait a minute. I'm afraid nobody goes.
01:10:58Excuse me.
01:11:01Now look here. Get back.
01:11:04Go on. Sit down.
01:11:08Have you gone mad?
01:11:10On the contrary.
01:11:13I suppose everyone knows what this is.
01:11:18Believe it or not, the blood of Ben Isaacs. I've winged a ghost.
01:11:23Oh, rot. If you don't open these doors...
01:11:26Mr. Winthrop, there wouldn't be any reason why you'd want us all away from here, would there?
01:11:30And what the devil do you mean by that?
01:11:33Yes. I'd like to know that, too.
01:11:36Perhaps I should explain that the person responsible for the ghost train is with us in this room now.
01:11:43The ghost train?
01:11:45Yes. Only it isn't a ghost train.
01:11:48This one happens to be as real as the Plymouth Express.
01:11:53But, er, there was an accident, you know.
01:11:56Perfectly true. There's a strong local superstition about the ghost train.
01:12:01That's what gave somebody in this room the idea.
01:12:05Made their job easier because for years people had stuck their heads under the bedclothes if they heard a train
01:12:09in the night.
01:12:10But when we turned up, we made it rather awkward for them.
01:12:13So when the station master couldn't get rid of us, they set to work scaring us out.
01:12:18But they didn't, did they?
01:12:20Er, no.
01:12:22Bless my soul.
01:12:25Don't look at me like that.
01:12:26I don't know anything about it.
01:12:28I assure you I'm going to Red Roof as Dr. Harrowby's locum.
01:12:31Eh?
01:12:33Just a moment.
01:12:35I don't pretend to understand all this.
01:12:37But you and your silly little friend have been behaving rather queerly yourselves.
01:12:41Exactly what game are you playing at?
01:12:43Richard, I just remembered.
01:12:45If it hadn't been for Mr. Gander, you wouldn't be here at all.
01:12:49Jackie!
01:12:52Richard, did you have to do that?
01:12:54Of course, the man's a lunatic.
01:12:56Might have shot somebody at any moment.
01:12:57Oh, here's the key.
01:12:59Now we can get out of here.
01:13:01But you can't keep him here like this.
01:13:02Don't worry, we're going to take him with us.
01:13:04Yes, sir. Little fresh air will soon bring him round.
01:13:06Will you two bring him to the bus?
01:13:08Yes, certainly.
01:13:09Right.
01:13:10Come on, Herbert, you help.
01:13:12What, me?
01:13:17They are back, Dr.
01:13:18Oh, yes, I'll come back for them.
01:13:19Be careful.
01:13:21Standing.
01:13:27Oh, thank heavens we can get out of here.
01:13:29I'm sick of this hole.
01:13:30I don't want to complain, but I do hope this will be all for tonight.
01:13:36Yes, sir.
01:13:38It'll be all right in here.
01:13:40It'll be all right in here.
01:13:50All right, driver.
01:13:51Hey!
01:13:52Hey!
01:13:53Hey!
01:13:54Wait a minute!
01:13:58I nearly missed the bus.
01:14:00That's right.
01:14:01Where the blazes have you been?
01:14:02It's time to get out of the tunnel.
01:14:03I couldn't find the hole.
01:14:04All right now, sir.
01:14:05Yes, but step on it, will you?
01:14:07Wait a minute.
01:14:08My basket's still in the station.
01:14:09We'll attend to that in the morning.
01:14:11Yes, but say it disappears, I won't be able to open on Monday.
01:14:13That will be a break for new kids.
01:14:16Well, we're off.
01:14:17Yes.
01:14:18What a bit of luck finding a bus, eh?
01:14:21Look at Teddy.
01:14:23Shh!
01:14:24He's gone to sleep.
01:14:26Yes, I've put him to sleep.
01:14:27Yes.
01:14:29Eh?
01:14:29You mean you, er...
01:14:31On the floor?
01:14:32Yes.
01:14:33And if we have any trouble from you, you're just as likely to join him.
01:14:36Don't let some of any more unpleasantness.
01:14:39No.
01:14:45Has anybody got any smelling salts?
01:14:46You haven't got a drop of the...
01:14:48The...
01:14:49No.
01:14:49No.
01:14:50Come on.
01:14:51Come to Danny.
01:14:52Oh, I wish I'd paid attention at the first aid class.
01:14:55Don't worry.
01:14:55He'll be all right.
01:14:56Just a moment.
01:14:57I want to ask you a question.
01:14:59Where exactly did you go when you left the waiting room?
01:15:01Home, eh?
01:15:02Outside.
01:15:03Don't you remember when the spook special came along?
01:15:05Yes, I remember perfectly.
01:15:06But it's very curious that when you and your friend went out,
01:15:08things began to happen.
01:15:10Oh, you mean old rock of ages?
01:15:12It was Ben Isaacs.
01:15:13He was coming back.
01:15:15I knew he would.
01:15:16Now, Julia.
01:15:18Something back from what hit me.
01:15:20I'm afraid I did.
01:15:21I'm very sorry, but it was entirely necessary.
01:15:23But you...
01:15:24Where are we?
01:15:26Why, you...
01:15:27No, no, no, no, no, no.
01:15:28Count up to ten.
01:15:29One, two, three.
01:15:30You blithering idiot.
01:15:31Where did you get to?
01:15:32Oh, I walked into the tunnel wall.
01:15:34I blacked myself out in the knockout.
01:15:37I mean, I knocked myself out in the blackout.
01:15:39Well, I think we can say we successfully stopped your little game, whatever it was.
01:15:42You've successfully mucked up the whole show.
01:15:44Now there's no one to get that train when it comes back.
01:15:46Comes back?
01:15:48The ghost train never comes back.
01:15:51This one's more obliging.
01:15:52It makes the return journey.
01:15:55But if the train does come back, it'll have to cross the bridge, won't it?
01:15:58Of course.
01:15:58But if it's a ghost train, it wouldn't matter whether the bridge was open or closed, would it?
01:16:02No, but...
01:16:02Oh, well, that's all right then.
01:16:04What are you babbling about?
01:16:05Well, we'll soon see.
01:16:07I opened the bridge.
01:16:09You've done what?
01:16:11Well, somebody had closed it, so I opened it.
01:16:13Otherwise, the story wouldn't be right.
01:16:14You meddling fool!
01:16:18Nichols, stop!
01:16:22I say, what is this?
01:16:23Sit down.
01:16:24I'll do nothing of the sort.
01:16:25I rather think you will.
01:16:26Oh, what are you doing?
01:16:28You can't keep still.
01:16:29Unless you're looking for trouble.
01:16:31He's opened the bridge.
01:16:32Back to the station, flat out.
01:16:33It's too late, sir.
01:16:34We must walk his crossroads on our back.
01:16:36If we get across the footbridge, we can stop them on the other side.
01:16:39Yes.
01:16:39Cut down the lane as fast as you can.
01:17:16That's the lock.
01:17:18We're not late, are we?
01:17:20The ghost train's never late.
01:17:47Can't you go any faster?
01:17:49If it goes any faster, we'll take off.
01:17:51I hope you're enjoying all this.
01:17:52If you hadn't been so anxious to show off your right hook, we wouldn't be in this mess.
01:17:56But what's happening?
01:17:56I don't understand.
01:17:57Have you ever heard of the fifth column?
01:17:59What?
01:17:59The gent that the gun is a Nazi sympathizer.
01:18:02The more they pay him, the more he sympathizes.
01:18:04Cut that out.
01:18:05But smuggling arms is a dangerous game in wartime, so they invented the ghost train.
01:18:09The train.
01:18:10I can see it.
01:18:14It's on the last curve before the bridge.
01:18:16We'll never stop it.
01:18:17We've got to stop it.
01:18:19Turn to pull up here.
01:18:20I'm coming down the hill.
01:18:21Go!
01:18:25Watch them.
01:18:29Come on.
01:18:30Pickles.
01:18:48Oh, by the way, you took a gun from him.
01:18:50Hand it over.
01:18:51Come on.
01:18:58Come on.
01:19:10Come on.
01:19:12Come on.
01:19:13It's over.
01:19:29And, of course, after Julia had fainted, I knew that Sterling was no more a doctor than I was.
01:19:33How?
01:19:33I saw him taking her pulse with his thumb.
01:19:35You did.
01:19:36You didn't know anything about it till I told you.
01:19:38Well, after all, I did open the bridge while you were lying there like a British heavyweight.
01:19:42Oh, there you are, sir.
01:19:43I think we can get you this address for the inquest.
01:19:46Correct, Commissar.
01:19:47Thank you, sir.
01:19:48Thank you, sir.
01:19:49Thank you, sir.
01:19:50Well, that'll be your special, sir.
01:19:51It's due any minute.
01:19:52Thank you very much.
01:19:56Do you know, I've an idea you're by no means what you make out to be.
01:19:59Confidentially, I'm not.
01:20:01You must be relieved.
01:20:02Ah, there you are.
01:20:04I'm afraid, old boy, I've been a bit of a...
01:20:07A bit of a...
01:20:08I think you've been a lot of a...
01:20:09Well, anyway, if you'll accept my apologies.
01:20:11Of course.
01:20:13And you, Gander.
01:20:14And you, Winthrop.
01:20:19Nobs!
01:20:20We've forgotten about the old bird with her old bird.
01:20:31Feel better?
01:20:33I've got a terrible headache.
01:20:35Don't tell me.
01:20:35You've got a piece of flannel where your tongue should be.
01:20:37How did you know?
01:20:39Never mind.
01:20:39The train's in now.
01:20:40You'll soon be safe in Truro.
01:20:41Good.
01:20:42I'm so glad nothing exciting has happened.
01:20:47Nothing exciting.
01:20:49Ha, ha, ha.
01:20:50I don't know.
01:20:51What?
01:20:52No.
01:20:54Yes.
01:20:55No.
01:20:57Yes.
01:20:58No.
01:20:58No.
01:20:59No.
01:20:59No.
01:20:59No.
01:21:00No.
01:21:00No, no.
