00:00:33The End
00:01:09The End
00:01:22The End
00:01:25The Gazette cookery competition
00:01:26That's not a bad idea
00:01:27Well, the Echo's got to think of a better one
00:01:33Selling like hot cakes right in front of our very door and all because of a cookery campaign
00:01:37Smart's turn to the Gazettes
00:01:38Yes, well, I've got one to beat it
00:01:39The Echo will forestall the national health movement
00:01:41We'll run a county keep fit campaign of our own
00:01:43The Gazette will be nowhere
00:01:45Keep fit, what a stunt
00:01:46And one to be proud of
00:01:48You and I will be the recognized leaders of health and youth
00:01:52Now get busy
00:01:53Get the leaders written right away
00:01:54We'll run nothing else for a week
00:01:55Right
00:01:56Run articles on diet and exercises in the home
00:01:59Okay
00:02:00Organize gymnastic competitions with teams from the police, the fire brigade, the stores, anybody you can think of
00:02:04We'll run a boxing contest
00:02:06Boxing?
00:02:07Great idea, that
00:02:08County boxing contest
00:02:09Have keep fit posters plastered all over the place
00:02:11Leave it to me
00:02:12Now, we'll get an individual angle on this
00:02:14Find a local champion
00:02:15Who knows
00:02:16Here in this very town
00:02:17We may have the champion
00:02:18The future British keep fit model of manhood
00:02:21A Hercules
00:02:22An Adonis
00:02:23A Superman
00:02:27Come along
00:02:29Yes, sir
00:02:35Would you like a manicure, Mr Barker?
00:02:37No
00:02:38Well, Miss Allen's doing nothing
00:02:40It's too late
00:02:44That's red hot
00:02:45Yes, I'm sorry, sir
00:02:46No, it is
00:02:47Then why did you put it on my face?
00:02:48It was burning me fingers
00:02:49That was an idiot
00:02:50Sorry, sir
00:02:51Hurry up, it's nearly closing time
00:02:52Yes, sir
00:02:56See, your fingers have got some ink on it
00:02:58Do let me fetch Miss Allen
00:03:00Oh, very well
00:03:02Thank you, Mr Barker
00:03:04Miss Allen
00:03:05The boss wants you
00:03:06Oh, thank you
00:03:07Can I carry a tray?
00:03:10Oh, yes, if you'd like to
00:03:11Read
00:03:11Yes, Mr Barker
00:03:13Come on, may I have a
00:03:14Sorry, sir
00:03:16Good evening, Mr Barker
00:03:17Well, you won't want all that stuff
00:03:18Just a little pumice to
00:03:19Very good, Mr Barker
00:03:21Great stunt this
00:03:21Keep fit of the echoes
00:03:22Are you going in for the gym competition this evening?
00:03:25Yes, Mr Barker
00:03:26And you?
00:03:27Well, no, sir
00:03:29No, I didn't expect you would
00:03:31If you'd take more exercise when you were younger
00:03:33You'd be a far finer figure of a man
00:03:37I thought as much
00:03:40It's nothing you'll laugh at
00:03:41Well, I can't help you
00:03:42Well, I can't help you titling me
00:03:43Oh, look at that young Hector Kent in the sports department
00:03:46There's a sight for sore eyes
00:03:48Eh, Miss Allen?
00:03:49Yes
00:03:50There's a man worth looking at
00:03:52Broad-shouldered, muscular, strong as an ox
00:03:56I think you'll find that the right weight for the boys, sir
00:03:58Can I set them on approval?
00:03:59Yes, go
00:04:01Hello there
00:04:02At last, my benefactor
00:04:04I have waited long
00:04:06Thank you
00:04:07Oh, that'll teach you to read during business hours
00:04:10After closing time, take these sample gym vests up to the gymnasium
00:04:12Look, I can't
00:04:13I've a rehearsal of the amateur dramatics
00:04:15Well, the amateurs can wait
00:04:16Well, can't someone else take them, Mr Kent?
00:04:18I said you would have taken
00:04:30You better be long
00:04:33Sorry, Mr Barker
00:04:34That's all right, my lad
00:04:35Going to win our competition tonight?
00:04:37I shall do my best
00:04:37Wish that the more like you
00:04:39The more we have to represent the store for the county finals, the better
00:04:43You take my advice, my lad
00:04:45And go in for physical exercise
00:04:47To make a man of you
00:04:48Wouldn't it?
00:04:49Might even do that
00:04:50For all you know, I might be as good as any of them
00:04:52Besides, there was once second in an egg and spoon race
00:04:55How many runners?
00:04:56Two
00:04:57Well, there's still time to go in for the competition, Green
00:05:00Yes, why don't you?
00:05:01I don't like showing off in public
00:05:03It seems a pity that his talent should be lost to the world
00:05:08Good luck, Ken
00:05:09Bye, sir
00:05:10Can I take it for you?
00:05:11Oh, thank you
00:05:11Thank you
00:05:13Will you stop festering, Miss Allen?
00:05:15She doesn't like it
00:05:16Well, I was only kidding
00:05:16I don't like it either, see
00:05:25Very old little house
00:05:26Nice with a garden
00:05:27And a nipper on the way
00:05:28Nature's wonderful
00:05:29If I can only pluck up the cottage
00:05:30I'll pop the question tonight
00:05:32Good night, George
00:05:32Good night
00:05:33Good night, George
00:05:34Good night
00:05:43Good night
00:05:54Why am I forgotten
00:05:56By the girl I love
00:05:59Because me clothes hang on me like a sack
00:06:03I know I'm not athletic
00:06:06And look a bit pathetic
00:06:08And wear most of me chest upon me back
00:06:13The nation's got an A1 plan
00:06:16And I might turn into a man
00:06:18If I'd biceps, muscle and brawn
00:06:23I'd grow spinach on me chest
00:06:25Where the birds could build the nest
00:06:28If I'd biceps, muscle and brawn
00:06:32In competitions, exhibitions
00:06:35Catchers, catch, catch
00:06:37I would win some lovely cups and sauces to match
00:06:42The girls would all love my physique
00:06:44I'd let them see it twice a week
00:06:47If I'd biceps, muscle and brawn
00:06:51My ribs that knock-knock wouldn't play
00:06:54Or rattle on a windy day
00:06:57If I'd biceps, muscle and brawn
00:07:02Hercules was far from slim
00:07:04But I could show them more than him
00:07:06If I'd biceps, muscle and brawn
00:07:11In competitions, exhibitions
00:07:14Catchers, catch, catch
00:07:16I would win some lovely cups and sauces to match
00:07:20The ladies why'd hope I would be
00:07:23They'd hope to see much more of me
00:07:26If I'd biceps, muscle and brawn
00:07:58Check the
00:08:00I'd have strength to carry on
00:08:02And something good to sit upon
00:08:05If I'd biceps, muscle and brawn
00:08:17Oh, feeling like that, eh?
00:08:21Keep fit.
00:08:22Ernie, wouldn't it be grand if I was leader of that lot?
00:08:26Fancy me walking in front of them.
00:08:28I'd like to be doing that.
00:08:30Well, why don't you have a shot at it?
00:08:31Oh, watch the use.
00:08:33Can you see me going in for competitions with these?
00:08:36Nice fool I'd look, sure enough, in front of them other athletes.
00:08:39Fat chance I stand with that to Kent to start with.
00:08:42That lop-eared, puffed-up, la-dee-da, he-bullock.
00:08:46You don't like him, do you?
00:08:48Just because he knew I had a rehearsal with the amateurs tonight,
00:08:50he's told me off to take these samples up to the gymnasium.
00:08:53Well, I'll take them for you.
00:08:54Not likely.
00:08:55If he knew I hadn't done it myself, he'd get me the sack right away.
00:08:58Oh, it'd be easy enough.
00:08:59I could wait till he's not looking.
00:09:00No, I didn't.
00:09:03Do you think you could?
00:09:05I don't see why not.
00:09:06Oh, George, if you would, I could get to the amateurs.
00:09:09Give it me.
00:09:10And if there's ever anything I can do for you,
00:09:13just say the word.
00:09:14Don't mention it, lad.
00:09:16Go on, you daft thing.
00:09:22Good evening, Mr. Barker.
00:09:23Good evening, Mr. Barker.
00:09:27Is the editor of the Echo about?
00:09:28Not yet, sir.
00:09:29Are there Sir Samples?
00:09:31Yes, Mr. Barker.
00:09:32Oh, it's you, is it?
00:09:32Yes, Mr. Barker.
00:09:33Good night, Mr. Barker.
00:09:34Wait a minute, don't go up.
00:09:35All right, Mr. Barker.
00:09:36That's Mr. Barker.
00:09:37Put these on.
00:09:39What, me?
00:09:40Quick!
00:09:42But, I'm on my way home, sir.
00:09:43When you've got them on, ask to see the editor of the Echo.
00:09:46But, abba, abba, abba.
00:09:47Dressing room on the left, sir.
00:09:49Go on, don't argue.
00:09:54See Missy Allen?
00:09:55Yes, she's in the gymnasium.
00:09:56Oh, fine.
00:10:04Now, there's Samples of mine.
00:10:05I assure you, there's nothing to touch them at the price.
00:10:07And, of course, if you were to recommend them in your columns
00:10:10as the official kit, I should be delighted.
00:10:12Quite, quite, all right, I'll have a look at them.
00:10:14Splendid, splendid.
00:10:14Sorry, I can't stop.
00:10:16Mustn't keep the wife waiting.
00:10:17Let's hurry with Mr. Teams.
00:10:18Yeah, anyone think this competition was being run
00:10:20for the benefit of the Regal stores, not the Echo?
00:10:24Oh, what an attendance, what an attendance.
00:10:29This is a great idea of yours, Chief.
00:10:31Keep fit.
00:10:31Make the Gazette look up, eh?
00:10:32Now, get all the pictures you can
00:10:33and plaster them all over tomorrow's edition.
00:10:35Okay.
00:10:36Come on, get this.
00:10:40Be right, get one here.
00:10:41Uh, no.
00:10:42Well, perhaps that.
00:10:43Try that.
00:10:46Right, fine.
00:10:49Ah, this is the one.
00:10:52Do you mind if we have a picture?
00:10:53Of course not.
00:10:54Come on, jump up here, Joan.
00:10:55Come on.
00:10:57How's that?
00:10:58Fine.
00:10:59Thanks very much.
00:11:01Will that be in the papers?
00:11:02Rather.
00:11:03Front page, I expect.
00:11:03Goody.
00:11:04You and I together.
00:11:05Am I a lucky girl?
00:11:06You look pretty good in that, kid.
00:11:07Yes, I know.
00:11:08Neely, Mr. Kent.
00:11:09Well, what's first?
00:11:10Balting, parallel bars, or what?
00:11:11Any eliminating heat?
00:11:12No.
00:11:13Just a few simple marching exercises, that's all.
00:11:15But that's no gymnastic competition.
00:11:16Not for you, perhaps.
00:11:17But we're keeping all the difficult stuff for the finals.
00:11:19Oh, I see.
00:11:20All ready, sir?
00:11:23All in for the individual competition.
00:11:27Excuse me.
00:11:28I won't be a minute.
00:11:28I'm going to get my handkerchief.
00:11:30Well, this is just a waste of time.
00:11:33After the marching, some pistol jerks?
00:11:34No, that'll take too long.
00:11:35Besides, we can't keep the ladies waiting all that time.
00:11:37Most emphatically.
00:11:38Quite, quite.
00:11:39Give them in something really difficult, so that we can find the winner straight away.
00:11:42What about the horizontal bar?
00:11:43That used to be a favorite of mine.
00:11:45A real teaser, eh?
00:11:46Leave it to me, sir.
00:11:57Hello.
00:11:57What are you doing here?
00:11:58Have you seen the editor of The Echo anywhere?
00:12:01He's in the gym.
00:12:02Why?
00:12:02Well, I've got something I want to show him.
00:12:05What?
00:12:06Oh, so the hidden talent's coming out in public after all.
00:12:10Eh?
00:12:10You know, when you said that in the shop, I didn't believe you.
00:12:13Didn't you?
00:12:13No, the competition's starting.
00:12:14Come on, Harry.
00:12:15Competition?
00:12:16Yes, come on.
00:12:16Quickly, quickly.
00:12:17No, no.
00:12:18I don't think I'll bother.
00:12:19I mean, showing off in public, I'd feel too daft.
00:12:23Oh, don't be so silly.
00:12:24Anyone would think they were going to ask you to stand in the middle of the room and give an
00:12:27exhibition.
00:12:28Well, aren't they?
00:12:28You flatter yourself.
00:12:30Just a few simple marching exercises.
00:12:32Huh?
00:12:32Yes, the instructor just said so.
00:12:35Is that all?
00:12:36Hmm.
00:12:38Still too much, sir.
00:12:39I should be right over the top.
00:12:40That's medium now.
00:12:41Still too fierce, sir?
00:12:43That's right down.
00:12:44Right.
00:12:46The instructor will now demonstrate the first test.
00:12:58Are you going to try that?
00:12:59Not me.
00:13:02Gym competition, why it's getting people here under false pretenses.
00:13:05They must think they're not of lugs.
00:13:07Look, aren't the exercises difficult, you know?
00:13:09They're not exercises at all.
00:13:12There you are.
00:13:12You wouldn't get a chance to show off even if you wanted to.
00:13:15Well, in that case, you'd like me to go in for it.
00:13:20Wouldn't you, Miss Ellen?
00:13:21Me?
00:13:22Well, the more gymnasts representing the store, the better.
00:13:27Gymnast.
00:13:29Come on.
00:13:36That fellow isn't a gymnast.
00:13:37Doesn't look like it.
00:13:38Well, if that's the result of physical exercise, thank heavens I had a misspent youth.
00:13:43Misspent youth?
00:13:45What an idea for my keep fit posters.
00:13:50Where have you sprung from?
00:13:51I mean, for competition.
00:13:53What?
00:13:53This.
00:13:55Yeah, the samples I've told Eddie to bring up, aren't they?
00:13:58No, no, no.
00:13:59I've had them for years.
00:14:00Well, that's why they're brand new, I suppose.
00:14:01Well, I had to buy it new and for competition.
00:14:05It shows a mighty fine fit.
00:14:08Think you're going to show off in front of Miss Ellen, do you?
00:14:10You can't show off doing child's play like this.
00:14:29Where are you going?
00:14:31I don't think I feel so well.
00:14:33You've got the wind up.
00:14:34Next, please.
00:14:34Now, watch me.
00:15:00Now, that fellow's definitely good.
00:15:02If he can box, he's a certain county champion.
00:15:05Next, please.
00:15:07I've been looking forward to getting Ernie the sack for some time.
00:15:09I told you they've got nothing to do with any of the bottom of the competition.
00:15:12I said next, please.
00:15:14Go on, then.
00:15:15Prove it.
00:15:15All right.
00:15:18I will.
00:16:13That'll teach him to try and show off.
00:16:15Are you all right?
00:16:17Oh, jumping, it was just a simple exercise.
00:16:19Oh, I'm terribly sorry.
00:16:20I'm afraid it was all my fault.
00:16:22But I didn't know it was going to be like that.
00:16:24But you've hurt yourself.
00:16:25No, I'm all right.
00:16:26Yes, you have.
00:16:27You're all wobbly.
00:16:28Come along to the dressing room.
00:16:32Oh!
00:16:40All right.
00:16:40Start the ladies' section.
00:16:44There you are.
00:16:45Oh, now, you get dressed and go and have a drink.
00:16:48Was I all right?
00:16:49Yes, sensational.
00:16:51Oh.
00:16:52Would you come out and have a drink with me?
00:16:53Oh, I'm sorry.
00:16:54I can't.
00:16:55I'm going out with Mr. Kent.
00:16:56Oh, yes, of course.
00:16:58What are you doing tomorrow, early closing day?
00:17:00Well, I'm going out with Mr. Kent.
00:17:04Well, perhaps some other time.
00:17:06Perhaps.
00:17:06Oh, pardon me.
00:17:07I think you'd better hurry.
00:17:08The ladies' is just starting.
00:17:09Oh.
00:17:11Mr. Green, I'd like to have a photo of you.
00:17:13What?
00:17:13Was it as good as all that?
00:17:15What?
00:17:15I mean, gymnastics, of course.
00:17:17Far better.
00:17:19Sensational.
00:17:20That's what he said.
00:17:21Take a pose, please, Mr. Green.
00:17:23Yes, over here, I think.
00:17:23Would you, Mr. Green?
00:17:24Thank you very much.
00:17:26That's all right.
00:17:26Just about there.
00:17:27That's all right.
00:17:28All right?
00:17:28Okay.
00:17:29All right.
00:17:32Have that.
00:17:33Now, I won't do, I'm afraid.
00:17:34Let me give you a tip.
00:17:35Now, first of all, you deflate completely.
00:17:38Deflate?
00:17:38Yes, like this.
00:17:42I don't say anything to laugh at.
00:17:43Yeah, what if you're standing where I am?
00:17:45Yes.
00:17:46Then you take a deep breath.
00:17:49Swell right out.
00:17:50So in the head back, you'll get twice the expansion.
00:17:53Oh, and is this for papers?
00:17:55If it's good.
00:17:56For some sake, me and papers are gymnasts.
00:17:57Yes.
00:17:57Shall I deflate?
00:17:59Blow out?
00:17:59Yes, deflate.
00:18:03That's it.
00:18:05All right, all right.
00:18:06Just a little more, please.
00:18:07That's splendid.
00:18:08Now, take a deep breath.
00:18:09Inhale.
00:18:10More.
00:18:11More.
00:18:12Chest out.
00:18:13Head up.
00:18:14Now, hold it.
00:18:14Shoot.
00:18:17That's fine.
00:18:17Thank you very much, Mr. Green.
00:18:19You are magnificent.
00:18:20You are splendid.
00:18:23Fancy.
00:18:24A gymnast way till Miss Holland sees me.
00:18:25Ooh.
00:18:26And I thought it in the paper.
00:18:27Wait till I tell me shall.
00:18:29And me thought it's in the paper.
00:18:31My thought it's in the paper.
00:18:32She's in the paper.
00:18:33Wait till I tell her.
00:18:35Forty in the paper.
00:18:36Oh, my thought it's in the paper.
00:18:38Ah, mother.
00:18:40Oh.
00:18:41Mother.
00:18:43Mother.
00:18:47All more bearings throughout, sir.
00:18:49Nothing but the best materials.
00:18:50Yes, there better be.
00:18:51My dear.
00:18:52I have one of the strongest oars in the Avon Ruin Club.
00:18:54Here, give me a hand.
00:18:55Of course, sir.
00:18:57Are you being attended to, sir?
00:18:59That's all right.
00:18:59We want Mr. Kent.
00:19:00Now, don't forget the flannels and the club blazer as soon as you can.
00:19:03They'll be attended to immediately, sir.
00:19:04Mr. Kent.
00:19:06Avon blazer and flannels be sent at once.
00:19:08Look them out.
00:19:08The delivery's gone.
00:19:09Well, take them yourself.
00:19:10But it's just on one and it's early closing.
00:19:13I said take them yourself.
00:19:15Well, what do you want?
00:19:17Now, don't talk like that.
00:19:18You owe us too much dough to be saucy.
00:19:20We're working a little job at the races today.
00:19:22Well, you can count me out.
00:19:23I'm taking a bird in the river.
00:19:24Forget it.
00:19:25We need you to put the dough on.
00:19:26You can do it yourselves.
00:19:27Not likely.
00:19:28Me and Klink's too well known.
00:19:31Look out.
00:19:32Here comes the boss.
00:19:35Are you coming?
00:19:37No.
00:19:38Would you like us to tell them about the time you were dressed like that?
00:19:43Hey, wait a minute.
00:19:44We'll be waiting for you outside.
00:19:46Have you gentlemen got what you wanted?
00:19:47Yes.
00:19:48We got what we wanted.
00:19:50Did you see your photograph taken at the gym last night?
00:19:53Yes, sir.
00:19:53I congratulate you.
00:19:54You should do the star a lot of good.
00:19:56Thank you, sir.
00:20:06Okay, sir.
00:20:07See my photo at the gym last night?
00:20:10There'll be one of me in there.
00:20:11Oh, Green.
00:20:12I'm going to see Mr Barker about the staff dance.
00:20:14You're in charge.
00:20:15Thank you, sir.
00:20:19Pretty good, isn't it?
00:20:20Hmm, little photographs too.
00:20:22Who are the others off?
00:20:23There's one of me there, isn't there?
00:20:25Why should there be?
00:20:25Well, he took my photograph.
00:20:26He probably broke the camera.
00:20:29There must be one of me somewhere.
00:20:31Excuse me.
00:20:32It's going to be lovely on the river this afternoon.
00:20:34Oh, just a minute, Joan.
00:20:35I'm afraid this afternoon's off.
00:20:36You mean we're not going?
00:20:38Yes.
00:20:38A sudden business appointment.
00:20:39Oh, that's all right.
00:20:41Lots of other people I can go with.
00:20:42Oh, are there?
00:20:43Oh, yes.
00:20:44Any number.
00:20:46Do you mean me?
00:20:47Oh, I'd love to come.
00:20:49Well, I'll see what the staff dance tonight.
00:20:51All right.
00:20:52What time will you be ready?
00:20:53Do you mean you'll really come out with me?
00:20:55Yes, of course I do.
00:20:56The river?
00:20:57Anywhere you like.
00:20:58I'll wait for you outside.
00:20:59Very well.
00:21:13Ernie!
00:21:14I'm taking it out on the river.
00:21:16Who?
00:21:16Miss Halland.
00:21:17What about Mr Kent?
00:21:18I'm going instead.
00:21:19Put it there.
00:21:21Go on, you daft thing.
00:21:23Can you row?
00:21:24No, but I'm very good at punting.
00:21:25Oh, Kent always takes her rowing.
00:21:27Oh, then I'm beat.
00:21:28Got it.
00:21:30Take her to Wyatt's boathouse.
00:21:31They've got no rowboats there.
00:21:33Only you're a marvel.
00:21:35What about your flannels?
00:21:36I've got them on.
00:21:36I mean white trousers.
00:21:37Oh, I thought you meant me undies.
00:21:39Got it.
00:21:42The very thing.
00:21:43Just going out on Apro.
00:21:45But suppose I muck them up?
00:21:46You mustn't, that's all.
00:21:47I'd look fine in them, wouldn't I?
00:21:48She wouldn't half be impressed.
00:21:50It's not how you look.
00:21:51It's the things you do that count.
00:21:53Now, this is your big chance.
00:21:54You've got to do something to sweep her off her feet.
00:21:56Suppose you saw me drowning.
00:21:57What would you do?
00:21:58Shout for help.
00:21:59Wouldn't you jump in and save me?
00:22:00No.
00:22:01Why not?
00:22:01I can't swim.
00:22:02But suppose you found a nice shallow part where you couldn't get out of your debt.
00:22:05Bill Chafferil.
00:22:06Why?
00:22:06I'd look up the uproars.
00:22:08I hadn't thought of that.
00:22:10In any case, you'd know you.
00:22:12Got it.
00:22:14You'll be taken away before long, you will you?
00:22:16The amateurs.
00:22:16Well, what about them?
00:22:18Well, I can be the squire in the play and recognize you as a man who once saved my life.
00:22:23At last, my benefactor.
00:22:25I have waited long to thank you.
00:22:27You know, Ernie, there's one of us too daft and I'm all right.
00:22:30But that way you wouldn't have to fall into the river and I could make the water deeper
00:22:33and danger bigger and really do you proud.
00:22:36Well, that wouldn't do though, would it?
00:22:38Why not?
00:22:39Now, meet me at Deacons Bridge at three o'clock.
00:22:41But would it be fair to her?
00:22:43All's fair in love and war.
00:22:45Ernie, we'll do it.
00:22:47We'll show that, Hector.
00:22:49No, you don't.
00:22:59Ah!
00:23:00Does it always do that?
00:23:01Well, it's been doing it lately.
00:23:02I think it's the hot weather.
00:23:11Shall we run his girl?
00:23:12Oh, I'll see to him.
00:23:14Aye, he's a member of the Avon Rowing Club.
00:23:16Oh, is he?
00:23:17Here, I'll attend to him myself.
00:23:19All right.
00:23:20Good afternoon, sir.
00:23:21Sir.
00:23:22I'm afraid we've got nothing to suit a member of the Avon Rowing Club.
00:23:25Avon?
00:23:26Avon.
00:23:27Oh, yes, of course.
00:23:28We only keep puns here, sir.
00:23:30Yes, that's why I came.
00:23:31No, Art Riggaskets.
00:23:32I'm sorry, miss.
00:23:32Oh, what?
00:23:33No, out, er, no, er, no what she said.
00:23:36No, only puns, sir.
00:23:37Now, if you go down to Chalmers...
00:23:38No, no, no.
00:23:39We may as well take a punt now, that willy, yeah?
00:23:41Okay, miss Helen.
00:23:42Very good, sir.
00:23:45Oh, look.
00:23:46Ice cream.
00:23:47Come on.
00:23:47Oh, lovely.
00:23:50What would you like?
00:23:51So you're an expert rower, are you?
00:23:53Well, I wouldn't go as far as to say that.
00:23:55Oh, don't be so modest.
00:23:56I heard what the boatman said.
00:23:58Oh, you don't attack any notice of him.
00:24:00Oh, don't I.
00:24:01Then answer me this.
00:24:02Can a man be a member of the A from Rowing Club unless he's rowing's first class?
00:24:07No.
00:24:08I don't suppose you can.
00:24:09Very well, then.
00:24:11Oh, I wish we could get a boat.
00:24:12I'd love to see you row.
00:24:14Would you?
00:24:14Here, are you as good as Mr. Kent?
00:24:17Well, you never can tell.
00:24:19Give us a couple of carnets.
00:24:20Make them deep.
00:24:21Yes, yes.
00:24:27How was she, sir?
00:24:29Still too long in the slide.
00:24:31I'll see to it, Sir August.
00:24:35Good heavens, look at that crew.
00:24:39Not much finish there, sir.
00:24:40Finished?
00:24:41Why, they haven't begun to finish.
00:24:42No guts, sir.
00:24:43That's the trouble.
00:24:44No guts.
00:24:44No, sir.
00:24:46The young generation are all the same nowadays.
00:24:48Flabby.
00:24:48No guts.
00:24:49No guts, sir.
00:24:50Before long, we'll be having members of the Avon rowing club
00:24:52lounging in punts, playing banjos, and eating ice creams.
00:24:57Oh, look, there's a friend of yours.
00:24:59A friend of mine.
00:25:00Well, a member of your club.
00:25:02Good afternoon, sir.
00:25:04Same to you.
00:25:05I see we're members of the same club.
00:25:07Yes.
00:25:08Are you a life member?
00:25:11No, no, just an apro.
00:25:13Punt ready, sir.
00:25:14Punt?
00:25:14Sirio.
00:25:15Shall I take the banjo, sir?
00:25:16Banjo, what are you talking about?
00:25:17It's to you.
00:25:17I'm sorry.
00:25:18Be careful with the ice cream.
00:25:20Do I hear a right, sir?
00:25:21A member of the rowing club?
00:25:23In a punt?
00:25:24That's right.
00:25:25Well, unfortunately, he hadn't any rowing boats.
00:25:27That's quite right, sir.
00:25:28Huh?
00:25:29Oh, well, of course, that explains everything, huh?
00:25:33Yes, well, in that case, sir, let me offer you my skiff.
00:25:36What?
00:25:37That one?
00:25:37Yeah.
00:25:38Oh, she's lovely.
00:25:39Then allow me to escort you.
00:25:40Oh, thank you.
00:25:41But I've ordered a punt.
00:25:42Oh, it don't matter, sir.
00:25:43Good.
00:25:43Good.
00:25:43Now I'm going to see you row after all.
00:25:45Come along.
00:25:46There you are, my dear.
00:25:48There you are.
00:25:49Oh, that's terribly kind of you.
00:25:50Come on, Mr. Green.
00:25:51Jump in.
00:25:52I feel a bit seasheak.
00:25:54Nonsense.
00:25:56A good stiff pull soon get rid of that for you.
00:25:59In you go.
00:25:59Come on, Mr. Green, up.
00:26:02I'll be careful, sir.
00:26:03Steady, steady.
00:26:10Choo, you're the wrong way round.
00:26:13Oh, yes, you mustn't turn your back on the lady, must you?
00:26:16But that's the bowl.
00:26:17Bow?
00:26:18Bow.
00:26:28There's something wrong with this sheet.
00:26:30It's just on the sticky side, I'm afraid.
00:26:33Now, let's see the expert at work.
00:26:35Come on.
00:26:36All ready, sir.
00:26:37Off you go.
00:26:44Here, anything wrong?
00:26:46Nothing.
00:26:47I'll just start like that.
00:26:53Look out, quick!
00:26:59Look out, sir!
00:27:01She'll ram you!
00:27:09Hey!
00:27:10Mother!
00:27:11Oh, we'll be sunk!
00:27:14Hey!
00:27:15You're there!
00:27:16Somebody stop and go away.
00:27:17What do you think you're coming to?
00:27:18Mother!
00:27:26That's an imposter!
00:27:28Never been in a boat in his life!
00:27:30Hey!
00:27:31Get back here, will you?
00:27:35Are you all right?
00:27:36Yes, we'll get there quicker this way!
00:27:40Thanks.
00:27:41Thanks.
00:27:54I'm so shy in every way, can't tell what I want to say, afraid I'm much too slow.
00:28:04Other lovers get on the way, can't tell what I want to say, afraid I can't let myself go.
00:28:14I can't let myself go.
00:28:33What do you think you're going to say, afraid I want to say, afraid I can't let myself go.
00:28:36I can't let myself go.
00:28:38I can't let myself go.
00:28:40I can't let myself go.
00:28:55I can't let myself go.
00:29:03I can't let myself go.
00:29:29I can't let myself go.
00:29:31If I had a stronger will, I'm certain I'd give you a thrill, but I don't like.
00:29:39I can't let myself go.
00:30:07I don't like
00:30:09I've never loved a girl before
00:30:13I'd take you home and lock the door
00:30:15But I don't like
00:30:19Good, good. You are clever.
00:30:21You think so?
00:30:21Have an ice cream?
00:30:23Well, I've had three already.
00:30:24Well, what's three?
00:30:26Three.
00:30:27Three.
00:30:28Three.
00:30:30Can we go on the bridge?
00:30:32Well, what's wrong with you?
00:30:33Well, we can get a better view from the bridge.
00:30:35Come on.
00:30:41Hurry up.
00:30:42Well, what's the hurry?
00:30:43Well, it's nearly three o'clock.
00:30:45What?
00:30:46Have a nice.
00:30:47I've got one.
00:30:48Well, have a banana.
00:30:49No, thanks.
00:30:50Do you mind if I have one?
00:30:51No.
00:30:52You know, I like you to like the things I do
00:30:55and the things I've done.
00:30:57Well, you must tell me about some of them.
00:30:59No, you'll find out soon enough.
00:31:01Oh.
00:31:05What are you looking for?
00:31:06Nothing, nothing.
00:31:07Lovely view, isn't it?
00:31:08Yes, it's lovely.
00:31:10You know, modest is all very well,
00:31:11but you'll never get on unless you advertise yourself.
00:31:14You know, make people talk about you.
00:31:17Wouldn't that be good to make people talk about me?
00:31:19Yeah, it never fails.
00:31:20It would be grand, wouldn't it?
00:31:21Mm-mm.
00:31:22Hello there.
00:31:25Hello there.
00:31:28Oh, do you think we're trespassing?
00:31:29No, no.
00:31:30You leave this to me.
00:31:32Yes, upon me soul it is.
00:31:34My dear sir, my dear friend, my very dear sir.
00:31:38Well, what is all this?
00:31:40The hero who saved me when all seemed lost.
00:31:43Saved you what from?
00:31:44The river, miss.
00:31:45He plunged in off the bridge.
00:31:46A bridge, oh, six times the height of this one.
00:31:49Oh, it wasn't.
00:31:50It was.
00:31:51Well, perhaps five times.
00:31:53Now, why haven't you told me about this before?
00:31:55Well, I've forgotten about it.
00:31:57No doubt he's pulled hundreds from the river.
00:32:00Except the little ones, I'll just throw them back again.
00:32:02Well, it's nothing to joke about.
00:32:03I agree, miss.
00:32:04As I went down for a third time,
00:32:05the memories of my childhood flashed before me eyes.
00:32:08I struggled to the surface,
00:32:09and then with a terrific effort,
00:32:10I gathered up my breath and shouted...
00:32:12Ah!
00:32:14Ah!
00:32:15Ah!
00:32:16Oh!
00:32:16Where's he gone?
00:32:18Help me!
00:32:19Look!
00:32:20Help!
00:32:21Well, what are you waiting for here?
00:32:23He's your big child trying to find him to go.
00:32:25Oh, mother.
00:32:26Help!
00:32:26Help!
00:32:28Oh, hurry.
00:32:29Look, he's gone down again.
00:32:31Oh, wait.
00:32:32Look under those bubbles.
00:32:34What can I do?
00:32:35Oh, there.
00:32:36Don't drop a bar.
00:32:37Go in.
00:32:39Go on, jump, jump.
00:32:41Help!
00:32:42Go on.
00:32:47Look.
00:32:48Oh, Eddie.
00:32:5010 metres, give me a bus.
00:32:51Excuse me, I can't swim.
00:32:52Why are you looking hard?
00:32:54Oh, mother.
00:32:54Help!
00:32:56Help!
00:32:57Help!
00:32:58Help!
00:33:00Help!
00:33:03Will!
00:33:05Help!
00:33:06Help!
00:33:06What's the matter?
00:33:07Oh, goody, Q.
00:33:08Look, they're drowning.
00:33:10Help!
00:33:11Help!
00:33:13Help!
00:33:13Yes, but they're shoot, too.
00:33:14Oh, goody.
00:33:14Help!
00:33:19Save them!
00:33:22Come on, you come to the water.
00:33:24Save me!
00:33:25Save me!
00:33:26Save me!
00:33:26Help!
00:33:28Come on.
00:33:29Help!
00:33:33Come on.
00:33:34Well, what happened anyway?
00:33:34How dare you try to make a fool of me.
00:33:37What?
00:33:38I...
00:33:39I plunged into the raging flood and saved him from a watery grave, did you?
00:33:43You may laugh.
00:33:45Shall I hit him?
00:33:46No, he isn't worth it.
00:33:47Come on.
00:33:50I don't see what you've got to laugh at.
00:33:53You'd laugh at me.
00:33:56Hey, come back here, will you?
00:33:59Here!
00:33:59Oh!
00:34:00Oh!
00:34:00Hey!
00:34:01You!
00:34:02Here!
00:34:03Stop, you!
00:34:04Stop!
00:34:04Ernie!
00:34:05Hey!
00:34:08Oh!
00:34:12Ernie!
00:34:13Ernie!
00:34:14Oh, good work, Tom.
00:34:19Thanks.
00:34:20We'll have him up by midday tomorrow.
00:34:21You've got this fellow's permission, of course.
00:34:22Green?
00:34:23No, he won't worry us.
00:34:24Oh, but that didn't...
00:34:24Pitch is a serious libel.
00:34:25He might have us for thousands.
00:34:26Oh, he's too simple.
00:34:27Well, I'm not taking any chances.
00:34:29You slip along to that staff dance and get him into signing permission.
00:34:32Okay.
00:34:32Okay.
00:35:16I am delighted to see so many happy faces at our summer staff ball.
00:35:26I am also very gratified that so many of our staff have entered for the Echo Keep Fit
00:35:31competition.
00:35:33I can assure you that should one of our staff prove to be the eventual winner and be thereby
00:35:39elected leader of the local Keep Fit movement, his rapid promotion in the stores is assured.
00:35:50Mrs Barker, I regret to say, is unable to be with us tonight.
00:35:54Now on with the rebels.
00:35:56I hope that everyone will enjoy themselves as much as I intend to.
00:36:10We'll get him after this dance.
00:36:15Don't give up, George.
00:36:17Ah, Mr Green.
00:36:19May I have a word with you?
00:36:21In private.
00:36:23Mr Green.
00:36:25It's about those photographs I took of you.
00:36:27Ah, you said they were going in papers.
00:36:28Papers, good gracious, no.
00:36:30We want them for something much more important than that.
00:36:32Do you?
00:36:33Rather, keep the posters.
00:36:35They'll be on all the hoardings.
00:36:36You'll be the talk of the town.
00:36:39Come on, tell Miss Allen.
00:36:40When are they going home?
00:36:41Lunchtime tomorrow.
00:36:42Uh, Mr Green.
00:36:43Would you sign this permission?
00:36:45Please.
00:36:46A mere formality, of course.
00:36:47No.
00:36:47I'm so sorry.
00:36:48I'll sign it a little bit.
00:36:49That's right.
00:36:57Here, you'll be losing that if you're not careful.
00:37:00What I need is someone to look after me.
00:37:01Yes.
00:37:02Be careful, George.
00:37:03Ladies and gentlemen, the next dance is St Paul Jones.
00:37:09Come on, this'll get fun.
00:37:11No, thanks.
00:37:11I don't like sharing life with him.
00:37:13Come on, let's go and find somewhere to sit.
00:37:14Oh, all right.
00:37:15Have it your own way.
00:37:16Ha, ha, ha.
00:37:20Oh, well, I'll see you later.
00:37:23We've a little business to talk over.
00:37:25Do you mind?
00:37:26Not at all.
00:37:27I'll go and dance.
00:37:30Why can't you leave me alone?
00:37:32We've just overheard a bit of dirt.
00:37:33We haven't cleared the castills today.
00:37:35What about milk in the sports department for a few quid?
00:37:37Then suspect me right away.
00:37:38You'll keep it any of the others?
00:37:40Might do.
00:37:40Try the barbers next door.
00:37:41Yes, and get pitched by the night watchman.
00:37:43Not in your line.
00:37:43No, don't come up with us.
00:37:45I see Mr. Barclay's over there.
00:37:46Should we give him the lowdown on Kent?
00:37:48I think it's the honest thing to do.
00:37:50Hey, wait a minute.
00:37:52Go on.
00:37:53Get to it.
00:37:57Where's Miss Allen?
00:37:58Where's Miss Allen?
00:37:59Down to the Paul Jones.
00:38:00Why?
00:38:00I've got something I want to tell her.
00:38:04Miss Allen!
00:38:06Miss Allen!
00:38:07I want Miss Allen!
00:38:09Miss Allen!
00:38:21Miss Allen!
00:38:23Miss Allen!
00:38:24Uh-h.
00:38:37It's for sure.
00:38:44Tell me.
00:39:20Oh, man.
00:39:36Easy as kiss your hand, wasn't it?
00:39:38That's yours.
00:39:39Here, how do you do this blinking thing?
00:39:45Miss Allen, I've got something most important to tell you.
00:39:48I'm not interested.
00:39:56Finished your business yet?
00:39:58Quite, thanks.
00:40:02Oh, I knew you'd lose it.
00:40:04Well, what's the matter?
00:40:09Nothing.
00:40:10Come on, let's dance.
00:40:12I've got a better idea.
00:40:14Did you tell her?
00:40:16No, she wouldn't listen.
00:40:17You mustn't give up like that, George.
00:40:19You'll never get anywhere.
00:40:20Yeah, but she won't talk to me.
00:40:21Make her.
00:40:22She's over there somewhere.
00:40:24Go on.
00:40:29Commander, sir.
00:40:31Yes, sir?
00:40:32Do you know Miss Allen?
00:40:34I'm a stranger here, sir.
00:40:35She went over there with Ken.
00:40:36Oh, thanks very much.
00:40:37Two and eight, sir.
00:40:38Eh?
00:40:39Oh, well, if you insist.
00:40:40Two and eight, sir.
00:40:41Well, I'm a...
00:40:42I'm a...
00:40:43Two and eight.
00:40:44Oh.
00:40:53Ladies first.
00:41:08Excuse me.
00:41:09I was looking for Miss Allen.
00:41:11Oh.
00:41:12Go away.
00:41:17Beg pardon, Mr Barker.
00:41:19Get out!
00:41:20Yes, sir.
00:41:22You know, there's no one around here to touch you.
00:41:24Yes, sir, they tell me.
00:41:25Well, I mean it.
00:41:26I'd like to pick you up and put you in a pocket and run off with you.
00:41:29I see.
00:41:30Big strongman stuff, eh?
00:41:32Use both hands if you like.
00:41:33All right.
00:41:34Oh, I can't.
00:41:35Oh.
00:41:45Oh, mother.
00:41:49Oh.
00:41:55Don't be a fool, Jo.
00:41:56It's you that's being a fool.
00:41:57Well, what about it anyway?
00:41:58You may think that a good idea, but I prefer dancing.
00:42:06I'm looking for Miss Allen.
00:42:08Get out of my way.
00:42:08I will not.
00:42:09I'm looking for Miss Allen.
00:42:10Get out!
00:42:11Hey, mother!
00:42:12Mother!
00:42:13Mother!
00:42:17What the blazes do you think you're doing?
00:42:19I'm looking for Miss Allen.
00:42:27Nothing unusual as far as I know, sir.
00:42:29Anything wrong?
00:42:30The council reports eight pounds missing from your till this morning.
00:42:32Mine?
00:42:33Did you lock up yourself yesterday?
00:42:34Yes, sir.
00:42:36No.
00:42:37I left Green in charge.
00:42:38Green?
00:42:39Oh, I'd better speak to you.
00:42:40Not a word about the story in my mind.
00:42:41Oh, no, sir.
00:42:42I understood that you were in charge yesterday, Green, before early closing.
00:42:45That's right, Mr. Barker.
00:42:46I want to shave quickly.
00:42:48Well, is no one going to attend to me?
00:42:50It's only Green, sir.
00:42:52Well, I'll see him later.
00:42:54This way, please, sir.
00:42:55Oh.
00:42:56Shave, quick.
00:43:00Thank you, sir.
00:43:02Very busy today, sir.
00:43:05Quite a lot of people about for this time of the year.
00:43:08Thank you, sir.
00:43:10Nice weather we're having, sir.
00:43:11Are we?
00:43:12There's a lot of nice weather to go, too.
00:43:14Yes, sir.
00:43:14Well, all next week's never been touched yet.
00:43:21Well, what are you waiting for?
00:43:23Nothing, sir.
00:43:26Don't hold my head like that.
00:43:27Sorry, sir.
00:43:29Haven't I heard your voice before?
00:43:32I don't think so, sir.
00:43:46I seem to know your face, too.
00:43:48Well, I've had it a long time.
00:43:53Ever been on the river?
00:43:56Never.
00:43:56Nor in it.
00:44:00Yes, a fellow stole my boat yesterday.
00:44:03A fellow not unlike you.
00:44:05Don't tremble like that.
00:44:06You make me feel quite nervous.
00:44:07Sorry, sir.
00:44:09But now I come to think of it, you've had a deep voice like yours, too.
00:44:14Really, sir?
00:44:15Must be a coincidence.
00:44:17Thank you, sir.
00:44:18Will you pay the cash, please?
00:44:20What's that?
00:44:21What's what?
00:44:22That?
00:44:22Nothing, Mr. Kent.
00:44:23I was just tidying up.
00:44:24Give it to me.
00:44:24But it's nothing, really.
00:44:26Give it to me.
00:44:31Come here.
00:44:37You're the clumsiest barber I've ever met.
00:44:40I'm a bit nervous today, sir.
00:44:42Your face kept getting in the way of my razor.
00:44:45Oh, Miss Allen, I've got something important to say to you.
00:44:47Sorry, I'm going to lunch.
00:44:48Can't you wait for me?
00:44:50Hi.
00:44:51Yes, sir?
00:44:52Not a very close shave.
00:44:54Close enough for me.
00:44:55What?
00:44:55I said that'll be one in three.
00:44:57You pay at the desk.
00:45:01Ready now, sir.
00:45:08Where's Green?
00:45:09Just gone.
00:45:10It is the fellow.
00:45:11Is Green the man who works here?
00:45:13Yes.
00:45:13Then leave me to him.
00:45:14Next step, please.
00:45:33Hello, Tom.
00:45:34Hello, Mac.
00:45:35Have a look at that.
00:45:36You might learn something.
00:45:38This is a stunt you're all going in the gazette couldn't think of in a lifetime.
00:45:41That's what you think.
00:45:42Wait and see it completed.
00:45:43Oh.
00:45:45Oh.
00:45:46Oh.
00:45:48Oh.
00:45:49Hello.
00:45:50Hello, Green.
00:45:51It's me.
00:45:52Yeah, that's you.
00:45:53Will it cover all the lot?
00:45:54Oh, all the lot.
00:45:55They feed and all?
00:45:55Yes, everything.
00:45:56Thanks.
00:45:57Oh, wait a minute.
00:45:58I'll just go and get Miss Allen.
00:45:59I'll look along.
00:46:00I have an idea.
00:46:00If I stick around here, I shall be asked some very awkward questions.
00:46:04Let's move.
00:46:08Oh, Miss Allen.
00:46:09Will you come back with me?
00:46:10I've got a surprise for you.
00:46:12What, another?
00:46:13Well, if you'll come back, well, you might be proud of me.
00:46:16I don't want to be proud of you.
00:46:18Oh, please come back.
00:46:20Please.
00:46:21All right, then.
00:46:22Come on.
00:46:24Nice of you to come, Miss Allen.
00:46:25It's only just over here.
00:46:26Well, what is the surprise?
00:46:28Ah, well, it's good.
00:46:29Now, wait a minute.
00:46:30I can't tell you yet.
00:46:32Now, close your eyes and don't open until I tell you.
00:46:34No.
00:46:40Can I open them now?
00:46:41You might as well.
00:46:44Oh, that's too bad.
00:46:46Never mind.
00:46:47Cheer up.
00:46:50There he is.
00:46:53How about this blazer?
00:46:54Where's my skiff?
00:46:57Oh, it's easy enough to laugh when you're on top.
00:46:59You're going to stand there and let him laugh at you like this?
00:47:01Well, what can I do?
00:47:03Well, if I were a man and anyone did that to me, I'd...
00:47:05Well, I'd do something.
00:47:08You shut up.
00:47:16Oh, you would, would you?
00:47:18You'd feather my toe, would you?
00:47:19All right.
00:47:24You can't do that sort of thing.
00:47:25This is a civilized country.
00:47:26Well, it was his own fault.
00:47:28All right, all right.
00:47:29If all a man knocks out all the men, what a headline and what a picture.
00:47:32Give me that.
00:47:33Now, don't all talk at once.
00:47:34Anyone see who we do first?
00:47:35Yes, he did.
00:47:36I never did anything.
00:47:38Oh, so you did.
00:47:39You can't go about knocking people's heads off in public thoroughfares.
00:47:42Who do you think you are?
00:47:43Well, it was like this.
00:47:44I could already...
00:47:45The man's a gangster.
00:47:48Who, me?
00:47:49Here he is.
00:47:50Now, you take my chip and come quietly.
00:47:51But let me tell you all about it.
00:47:52Oh, you tell that the man this way.
00:47:54But I've had him with you already.
00:47:56I'll go to your table before.
00:47:59Well, how could he have put me out?
00:48:00Well, look at him.
00:48:01He couldn't have hit me.
00:48:02I must have fainted.
00:48:04Well, do you think I'd let him lay a finger on me?
00:48:05Well, the whole thing's absurd.
00:48:06What is the use of maintaining that the prisoner did not strike you after listening to the evidence of all
00:48:11these witnesses?
00:48:12Miss Joan Allen, manicurist, Mr. Bennington of the Capital Gazette, Sir August Marks, Mr. Mackay, Gazette Reporter, Mr. Miles Bill
00:48:20Poster, Mr. Clark, his assistant.
00:48:23I'm going to raise the salary for this.
00:48:24Thank you, sir.
00:48:25All these witnesses have stated on oath that the prisoner dealt you a blow of such violence that you were
00:48:30practically lifted off your feet.
00:48:32The prisoner is evidently a powerful man, and I think you were very unwise to trifle with him.
00:48:37Me trifle with him?
00:48:39Silence, please.
00:48:39Are you, er, a professional fighter?
00:48:43No, Your Worship, I'm going down...
00:48:45Only answer the question, please.
00:48:47You evidently don't know your own strength.
00:48:49What, me?
00:48:50Because you are a man with apparently powerful physique, you must not take it on yourself to punish others who
00:48:57are personally weaker than you are.
00:48:59If I know that...
00:49:00Silence, please.
00:49:01That is why the law protects them from men like you.
00:49:06That's pretty.
00:49:07Before man knocks out after man and knocks our whole campaign end ways.
00:49:11How are you, Wilson?
00:49:12Keep you fit?
00:49:13I don't think off.
00:49:14Well, ten shillings or seven days.
00:49:16Er, I'll have the ten shillings.
00:49:24That shrimp knocked out the keep fit prize winner.
00:49:26Nice mess you got me in.
00:49:27Me?
00:49:28Quickly comes out.
00:49:29Oh, don't make a scene, please.
00:49:30Besides, before man might knock the after man out again.
00:49:32It was a fluke, I tell you.
00:49:34Are you sure of that?
00:49:35Am I sure?
00:49:37Great idea.
00:49:38The boxing finals.
00:49:39The heist part of the keep fit campaign.
00:49:40Well, what about it?
00:49:41Well, everybody be there.
00:49:43Challenge him and we'll make it the main bout of evening.
00:49:45That suits me fine.
00:49:46And in future, try and control those haymakers.
00:49:49Yes, but your worship...
00:49:50Constable.
00:49:51All right, sir.
00:49:51I'll look after him.
00:49:53George, what's happened to you all of a sudden?
00:49:55Your autograph, sir.
00:49:58Mr. Green, I'm editor of the Gazette.
00:50:00Yes, but I want to talk to you.
00:50:02Here he comes.
00:50:02Why, you dirty little man.
00:50:04Take it easy.
00:50:04Take it easy.
00:50:05There he is, sir.
00:50:06Now, now, there's a time and a place for everything.
00:50:08Yes, that's quite right, sir, yes.
00:50:10And what better place than publicly during the echo tournament?
00:50:12What's that?
00:50:13Mr. Kent has issued a challenge for a return match.
00:50:16What?
00:50:16Against me?
00:50:17Oh, he's too yellow to fight.
00:50:19Oh, no, he's not.
00:50:20Then it's agreed.
00:50:21We must have time to train.
00:50:22He's got a clear fortnight.
00:50:23Then we accept.
00:50:24Good.
00:50:25Leave everything to me.
00:50:27But I've got nothing to leave.
00:50:28Come on.
00:50:30Where are you going?
00:50:31Back to the store.
00:50:32I'll come with you.
00:50:33Thanks, but I'm going shopping first.
00:50:37Chief, you're a genius.
00:50:39That'll keep the Gazette quiet, I think.
00:50:41Do you hear that?
00:50:42He can think.
00:50:45Good day, Wilson.
00:50:46Be good.
00:50:47Keep fit.
00:50:50To think you're a boxer and I never knew it.
00:50:52A couple of hours every night for two weeks
00:50:54and we'll have you trained for the minute.
00:50:56Yes, I know.
00:50:56Imagine it, George.
00:50:57Sorry.
00:50:58Imagine it, George.
00:50:59The crowded arena with them all watching.
00:51:01Miss Allen and everyone.
00:51:02The cheers when you climb into the ring.
00:51:04You bow all round.
00:51:05I say, look out.
00:51:06That's unlucky.
00:51:07Second's out.
00:51:07Gone.
00:51:08You lead with the left.
00:51:09He counters with the right.
00:51:10You duck.
00:51:11They go an uppercut.
00:51:12He's down.
00:51:13One.
00:51:14Two.
00:51:15Three.
00:51:15Four.
00:51:16Five.
00:51:17Six.
00:51:17Four's ten.
00:51:18He's out.
00:51:18They're jumping into the ring.
00:51:19They're holding up your hand.
00:51:21Miss Allen's the first.
00:51:22Think of it, George.
00:51:23Gosh, I envy you.
00:51:24Well, you needn't.
00:51:25There isn't going to be any time.
00:51:27What?
00:51:27I never hit Kent.
00:51:28He knocked himself out with a broom.
00:51:30Crikey.
00:51:31Why didn't you tell me before?
00:51:32Well, you never give me the chance.
00:51:34It's too late to back out now.
00:51:35Why don't you two go in another street and play?
00:51:37What are you going to do?
00:51:38Me?
00:51:39I'm going to get out of town as fast as I can and disappear.
00:51:41Disappear?
00:51:41You can't do that.
00:51:42Can't, dear?
00:51:43You watch me.
00:51:49I intend to make an example of you, Gil.
00:51:51It would be a lesson to the other employees of the store.
00:51:54You ignored Mr. Kent's orders regarding the blazer and the fannels.
00:51:57You knew the penalty.
00:51:58You've earned yourself to blame.
00:51:59But it had nothing to do with Gil.
00:52:01I took the things from him, sir.
00:52:02He shouldn't have permitted you to.
00:52:03Then he gave him the samples for the gymnasium, sir.
00:52:06That was my fault, too.
00:52:07No, it wasn't, sir.
00:52:08Yes, it was.
00:52:08Why are you so anxious to take the blame for everything?
00:52:12Well, I'm giving notice anyway.
00:52:14Oh?
00:52:15And why do you wish to resign so suddenly?
00:52:18I'd rather not say.
00:52:20I suppose it had nothing to do with the money that was missing from the hairdressing till.
00:52:24I never took any money out of the till.
00:52:26I didn't say you did.
00:52:27No, but you meant it.
00:52:28Don't be impertinent.
00:52:29If he'd take the blazer, he'd take the money, sir.
00:52:31Of course he would.
00:52:32And now he wants to leave.
00:52:34Yes, I think I understand.
00:52:35For the sake of the good name of us all, we'll consider the money as gone.
00:52:40Your resignation is accepted with pleasure, Mr. Green, and so is yours.
00:52:45But, Mr. Barker, it had nothing to do with Ernie.
00:52:47I took the things from him.
00:52:48Just to bully, eh?
00:52:50Well, you can't bully me.
00:52:51But I tell you, it had nothing to do with Ernie.
00:52:53Get out.
00:52:55Come on, Ernie.
00:52:56Keep the change, my dear.
00:52:58Oh, thank you, sir.
00:53:01One and I to take, Molly.
00:53:02One and I to help her out.
00:53:06Have you heard about Mr. Green?
00:53:07Yes, I was there and saw it.
00:53:09Here, what's this?
00:53:10Oh, sorry.
00:53:11How on earth did that get him there?
00:53:12He's been fired.
00:53:13Mr. Green?
00:53:14Yes.
00:53:15What for?
00:53:16Only hinted at, of course.
00:53:17But it sounds pretty shady.
00:53:19They say Mr. Kent...
00:53:28Well, that's all there is, sir.
00:53:31I'm afraid I've been in a lot of trouble.
00:53:33Oh, no trouble at all, sir.
00:53:35Here, what's all this about, Mr. Green?
00:53:37Well, he quit missing from the hairdressing till or something.
00:53:39They think he took it?
00:53:41Why not?
00:53:41Well, he wouldn't have the nerve.
00:53:43Well, how about the samples and the blazer and all that?
00:53:46Take it from me, Joan.
00:53:47That little rat's a crook.
00:53:49Well, who would have thought it?
00:53:50Excuse me, sir.
00:53:52Oh, right.
00:53:53Wait till I get him in the ring.
00:53:54I'll give him all the punishment he deserves.
00:53:56I've got three or four things I want to pay him out for.
00:53:59I'll teach him to strut about just because he got in a lucky one when I wasn't looking.
00:54:03Remember the Paul Jones last night?
00:54:05Mm-hmm.
00:54:06What about it?
00:54:07Oh, I was looking for you.
00:54:08Where were you?
00:54:10I was talking business, I expect.
00:54:12What are you driving at?
00:54:13Oh, nothing.
00:54:13Have you anything suitable for a child of ten?
00:54:16Certainly, madam.
00:54:17Well, I've got a girl.
00:54:18All right.
00:54:18Miss Carter, please.
00:54:19Goodbye, Miss Allen.
00:54:21I've been sacked.
00:54:21Oh, you two?
00:54:22Oh, that's too bad.
00:54:23Where's Mr. Green?
00:54:24I'm afraid he's leaving town.
00:54:25What?
00:54:26He's packing up his things at his digs and going straight off on his bike.
00:54:28Oh, but I must see him.
00:54:29You'll have to hurry or he'll be gone.
00:54:31Well, where does he live?
00:54:31I'll show you.
00:54:32Oh, quick.
00:54:33Did you find these more crippled than the last fellow showed you?
00:54:36They're rather more amusing than those wire ones.
00:54:38Ow!
00:54:43I'm ever so sorry you're going, Mr. Green.
00:54:45Thanks for all you've done.
00:54:47Oh, well, goodbye.
00:54:48Goodbye.
00:55:02Goodbye.
00:55:05I want a word with you.
00:55:06I'm in a hurry.
00:55:07About the fight.
00:55:08The fight's off.
00:55:09Hey, please!
00:55:10Please!
00:55:24There he is.
00:55:25Where are you going?
00:55:27Never you mind.
00:55:28You're running away, aren't you?
00:55:29Well, yes.
00:55:30You mustn't.
00:55:30They'll say it's true.
00:55:31What's true?
00:55:32That you're a thief.
00:55:33Who said he was a thief?
00:55:34Hector!
00:55:34He's a liar.
00:55:35I know.
00:55:35I found his coat button in the till.
00:55:36He stole that money.
00:55:37Then we've only to tell the police.
00:55:39He'll be put in jug, and you claim the fight.
00:55:41No, you mustn't do that early.
00:55:42Why not?
00:55:43Well, you like him, don't you?
00:55:46Well, I used to think I did, but after the way he treated me last night, and the way he
00:55:49got you the sack for something you didn't do, I...
00:55:51You mean that?
00:55:52Mr. Green, about the fight.
00:55:54The consulate's ready to back you.
00:55:55Max is splendid trainer.
00:55:56We'll provide everything.
00:55:57It's no good.
00:55:58The fight's on.
00:55:59What?
00:55:59Oh, no, it's not.
00:56:00The fight's on.
00:56:02What are you doing?
00:56:03Back to me dicks.
00:56:04Insult you, Woody.
00:56:05I'll train night in there, and I'll knock Mr. Hector Kent into the middle of next week.
00:56:10Get on!
00:56:11Get on!
00:56:11Get on!
00:56:12Get on!
00:56:13Get on!
00:56:16Get on!
00:56:21Get on!
00:56:25Keep fit, take exercise, keep fit, and you'll be wise, that's it.
00:56:31Don't waste your size, whatever you do.
00:56:33Keep fit, keep fit, and take the air, don't flinch, to your arm chair, you'll be wise.
00:56:38You'll get no medals there. Whatever you do, keep fit. Punch that bag as if you're punching your opponent's hair.
00:56:47Skip around, it might rebound and knock you out instead. Keep fit. Now bend the knees, don't sit. Be careful,
00:56:55please, you'll split your do-re-me's. Whatever you do, keep fit. Keep fit. Up on your toes, that's it.
00:57:02Each movement's yours, your bit of muscle grows. Whatever you do, keep fit.
00:57:07Now skip an hour or more, don't slip. Across the floor, into the pub next door. Whatever you do, keep
00:57:15fit. Punch that bag as if you're punching your opponent's hair. Skip around, it might rebound and knock you out
00:57:23instead. Keep fit. You're doing swell. Pull up that big dumbbell.
00:57:28Pull up your shorts as well. Whatever you do, keep fit. Keep fit. Dodge in and out. Swing left and
00:57:36right about each hit. A mighty cloud. Whatever you do, keep fit.
00:57:41You call at your girl's flat. You call at your girl's flat. Just call to have a chat. That's all.
00:57:46You stop at that. Whatever you do, keep fit. Punch that bag as if you're punching your opponent's hair. Skip
00:57:54around, it might rebound and knock you out instead.
00:57:57No place, like bed at all, in case. You hear looks call your face. Turn to the wall. Whatever you
00:58:04do, keep fit.
00:58:20Listen. What's the idea? The sparring partners I've provided have him to practice to keep warm. Do you call this
00:58:25training?
00:58:25What's the use of training? I'm looking cold in ten seconds. Why wait for ten seconds? Don't you realize what
00:58:30this means to me?
00:58:31And what's this in the Gazette about him training in private?
00:58:32You might ask me. The Gazette's backing him. Run away. Run away. Why don't you leave it to us?
00:58:37Come on.
00:58:40Here's where we make some dough. Dough? Spill.
00:58:43Well, we know he's going to win.
00:58:45Well, who said I wasn't?
00:58:46No one. That's the trouble. We can't get any odds.
00:58:48Well?
00:58:48We've got to get Green fancied enough for some of the mugs to back him. Supposing we send Packy and
00:58:53Fig over to spar with him and they let themselves get beaten up.
00:58:56What for?
00:58:57The Gazette will publish it. The public will think he's a dark horse. We get better odds and clean up
00:59:02a packet.
00:59:03Not bad.
00:59:05Over here.
00:59:07Can you trust him?
00:59:08No payment till afterwards.
00:59:09And I'll be there watching.
00:59:12Come on, come on, hit me. Come on, George. Hit me, hit me. Come on, hit me.
00:59:17Oh, I said hit me.
00:59:18Well, I am hitting you.
00:59:20No, no, no. You're just tapping. Lemming to me. Hurt me.
00:59:23Go on, George. Sock him. He can take it.
00:59:25All right. You must follow it.
00:59:27No, no harder.
00:59:29I can't.
00:59:30Why not?
00:59:31Well, you're a pal of mine.
00:59:32Hear that? He won't hit me, of course. I'm a pal. I've half killed some of my pals. Come on
00:59:36again.
00:59:36No, I don't want to.
00:59:38What's the matter? You've knocked half the stuffing out of this punch bag. Knocked some stuffing out of me.
00:59:43Well, that's different.
00:59:44Oh, I give up. Come on. We'll do some road work. Come on, George. This way.
00:59:47Out here.
00:59:49Well, must I do it today?
00:59:51Yes. We'll have a nice five-mile run out as far as the gas works, round by the nudist camp,
00:59:57back home by the pig and whistle.
00:59:58Yes, but look, I don't want to go out today.
01:00:00The Gazette pays me to see you do your exercises.
01:00:03Well, look, can't I do it here? Miss Halladon's only just come.
01:00:06I'll pretend I'm running like this, eh?
01:00:08All right. Just this once.
01:00:11Miss Halladon?
01:00:12Yeah?
01:00:12Will you watch me do my road work?
01:00:14Just a minute. We're going to get the tea.
01:00:16Don't be long. Keep it up, George.
01:00:19He certainly sticks to it.
01:00:21I always thought he'd got guts. I mean, grit.
01:00:23Yes, I think I always thought so, too.
01:00:25You know, that's what makes him girted like he does, thinking that you believe in him.
01:00:27Oh, what nonsense.
01:00:28You do believe in him, don't you?
01:00:30Yes, of course I do.
01:00:31I wish you'd tell him you do.
01:00:32Oh, how can I?
01:00:33Why not?
01:00:34Well, he might think I was in love with him or something equally absurd.
01:00:37And that would never do, would it?
01:00:39Oh, but look, now I've got to the gas works.
01:00:41No, you haven't.
01:00:42Yes, I have. You come here and smell.
01:00:44That's a peach.
01:00:47Now, all you've got to do is to go in and ask for the boss and offer your services.
01:00:51Suppose he don't want no sparring partners.
01:00:53Tell him he'll do it for nothing.
01:00:54Why don't you come in and talk about it?
01:00:56Because they know me by sight, Fathead.
01:00:58Oh.
01:00:58Now, when you get the gloves on, take all he gives you.
01:01:00And the first punch that's anything's like, lay down and bellyache about how hard he hits you.
01:01:04Both of us?
01:01:05Both of you.
01:01:06And he's a couple of quid apiece.
01:01:08And no funny business, because I should be watching.
01:01:10Do we come back to the friendly quarters afterwards?
01:01:12No, that might look fishy.
01:01:14Stay away till after the fight.
01:01:16Now go on, pop in.
01:01:17And don't forget.
01:01:21Can I come home yet, Mac?
01:01:22Not yet.
01:01:23I'm going round the nudist camp.
01:01:26What's it like?
01:01:27Can't see I got my eyes shut.
01:01:29Where do we go from here?
01:01:31Big and whistle.
01:01:32Oi!
01:01:35Do you want any sparring partners?
01:01:37We're pros, both of us.
01:01:38Go on, you surprised me.
01:01:39Sorry we're fixed up.
01:01:41Here, wait a minute.
01:01:42Are either of you a pair of George Greens?
01:01:44Never set eyes on him.
01:01:45Then you can start him right away.
01:01:46You'll find all you want in the shed round behind.
01:01:48Thanks, Governor.
01:01:51I'm at the pick and whistle now, Mac.
01:01:53Can I give over?
01:01:59That's a big a whistle, are you?
01:02:01I'm in shallow.
01:02:03I'm out of it.
01:02:03What are you trying to get to?
01:02:05Australia?
01:02:05What are you doing down there, George?
01:02:07Oh, just taking a stroll.
01:02:08I want to talk to you quite a bit.
01:02:10Hey!
01:02:12You know, I don't think that thing likes me.
01:02:15You know, you've got me worried.
01:02:16Why don't you go for Mac like he tells you?
01:02:18Hit him hard.
01:02:19Knock him out.
01:02:20It'll give you confidence.
01:02:21You know, the will to win.
01:02:22Knock him off his feet.
01:02:23What, Mac?
01:02:24You want to hurt Hector, don't you?
01:02:26I'd like to knock him a block off.
01:02:27You'll skip the habit.
01:02:28Once you've knocked a man out,
01:02:30you'll feel like what you've got to be.
01:02:32A conqueror.
01:02:33Do you think so?
01:02:34Do you believe in masacters?
01:02:36I don't know.
01:02:37Well, when I went to fetch Miss Allen's day,
01:02:39she was having a haircut.
01:02:41I see.
01:02:41And I bought a piece for you to put in your glove.
01:02:44You know, to bring you luck.
01:02:46Good on, dog-daft.
01:02:49Already, boys.
01:02:50Hold a minute while I tie it up.
01:02:52Well, look.
01:02:53Promise me you won't tell Miss Allen.
01:02:54Because, you know,
01:02:56I feel daft as she found out.
01:02:58Look out, she's coming.
01:03:02Hide it.
01:03:02Don't let us hear it.
01:03:03Hello.
01:03:04Finished.
01:03:05It's very nice of you, Miss Allen,
01:03:07to come and watch the practice.
01:03:08Oh, you're getting on marvellously.
01:03:09Thanks.
01:03:10Miss Allen,
01:03:12do you think if I won this fight...
01:03:13Yes.
01:03:14Would you...
01:03:15I mean, I've never walked with a girl properly before,
01:03:19and I was wondering if I really didn't, you know...
01:03:21How they, you know...
01:03:23How...
01:03:23How...
01:03:23How...
01:03:23How are they?
01:03:24You know, I don't think that thing likes me.
01:03:27George!
01:03:28I think they're wanting you.
01:03:30All right, I'm coming.
01:03:31Toodaloo.
01:03:32Bye.
01:03:33Get your gloves on.
01:03:34I've got some boys for you to spar with.
01:03:36What?
01:03:37Where?
01:03:37Over there.
01:03:40Well,
01:03:41who are they?
01:03:42The couple of them's come to spar with you.
01:03:44Now, they're no friends of yours,
01:03:46so let's see something.
01:03:47I don't think I feel so well.
01:03:49Oh, don't be so silly.
01:03:50Take it easy a bit,
01:03:51and when I say so,
01:03:53down you go.
01:03:54Okay.
01:03:55Come on, George.
01:03:57This is George Scregan.
01:03:59This is back of your duff.
01:04:00Howdy place to meet you.
01:04:01Hey, don't start getting friendly.
01:04:06Come on, George.
01:04:07Hit him, George.
01:04:08Hit him.
01:04:08Use your right, George.
01:04:10He's no pal of yours.
01:04:11George, come on, hit him.
01:04:13George.
01:04:14George, here it is.
01:04:16Oh, excuse me a minute.
01:04:17Yeah, what's the idea?
01:04:18Well,
01:04:19my gloves untied.
01:04:20All right, I'll do it.
01:04:21No, no, I'd rather let her.
01:04:23Here it is.
01:04:24Now you'll be able to knock him down
01:04:26like I told you.
01:04:27I think so.
01:04:27Of course you will.
01:04:28And see how fine it'll make you feel.
01:04:30Will it?
01:04:31Leave your arms down.
01:04:32Stick your chin out.
01:04:34And flop soon as he taps it.
01:04:36Okay.
01:04:38Now, come on, George.
01:04:39Now, George, hit him.
01:04:40Use your right, George.
01:04:41Go on, George.
01:04:42Hit him.
01:04:43Go on.
01:04:43Hit.
01:04:44Go on.
01:04:45Oh, good.
01:04:47That's better, George.
01:04:48That's better.
01:04:48You were right, Ernie.
01:04:49See me knock him down?
01:04:50There you are.
01:04:50Now, knock him out.
01:04:52Knock him out?
01:04:53Me?
01:04:53Yes.
01:04:54That's what he's come for.
01:04:55Besides, he's no friend of yours, is he?
01:04:57Oh.
01:04:58Let him stick you down another couple of times,
01:05:00then I'll do my stuff.
01:05:02Out him.
01:05:03You can with your mascot.
01:05:04Put him out,
01:05:05and you'll feel on top of the world.
01:05:07Will I?
01:05:08All right, I'll try that.
01:05:09You watch this.
01:05:11All right, George.
01:05:11Fight on.
01:05:12Can I hit him?
01:05:13Yes.
01:05:16Come on, get up.
01:05:17Oi, get up.
01:05:20You.
01:05:22He's out.
01:05:23Eh?
01:05:24He's out.
01:05:25Oh, Ernie.
01:05:26She would have done.
01:05:27He's out.
01:05:27Out, don't make me laugh.
01:05:30What did I tell you?
01:05:31All right.
01:05:33George, I never dreamt you could do that.
01:05:35I could do anything with that in my gloves.
01:05:36See the way he fell?
01:05:37Yes, I did.
01:05:38What's the idea?
01:05:39Nothing I can't tell,
01:05:40but it's my mascot, my lucky charm.
01:05:42Look.
01:05:42See?
01:05:44Get up, get up.
01:05:45I want to do it again.
01:05:46I'm a killer, and I didn't know it.
01:05:47Anybody could.
01:05:47George, George, stop it.
01:05:48You hear?
01:05:49Stop it.
01:05:49You said they couldn't hit hard, didn't you?
01:05:51George.
01:05:54George, what's the matter with you?
01:05:55Ernie, come here.
01:05:56George.
01:05:57Hello, there.
01:05:58George.
01:05:59Hello, there.
01:06:00George.
01:06:00I'm down.
01:06:01What happened here?
01:06:02George.
01:06:03I have gone, baby.
01:06:04George.
01:06:05George, thank you.
01:06:06Hello.
01:06:06George.
01:06:25Are you hurt?
01:06:27Uh-huh.
01:06:27I never touch me.
01:06:53Let's go.
01:07:08Keep still, will you?
01:07:10You're tickling me.
01:07:11There we are.
01:07:12Turn to the minute.
01:07:13Have I done?
01:07:14Done to a turn.
01:07:14Oughtn't he to be getting ready?
01:07:16Aye, what about me and the bandage?
01:07:17Keep calm, keep calm.
01:07:18Here it is.
01:07:19You put it on.
01:07:20I'll go and see what's happening.
01:07:21Well, George, tonight's the night.
01:07:23Yes, I know, but where's Miss Allen?
01:07:25She'll be here a minute.
01:07:26Open your hand.
01:07:26Hey, hey, mind me mask off.
01:07:28I'm sorry.
01:07:29You tie it in there, then I know I've got it.
01:07:30Don't be silly.
01:07:31They'll find it when they examine your bandages and make you take it out.
01:07:34Will they?
01:07:34We'll put it inside your glove at the last moment.
01:07:36Well, don't forget it.
01:07:37No fear.
01:07:38Green's come on a lot in training.
01:07:40He's knocked out some pretty good men.
01:07:42Yes, people are putting their money on him, too.
01:07:44You're telling us?
01:07:45He's taken advantage of the training provided for him.
01:07:47What about the quarters we've supplied for you?
01:07:49All you've done is to drink, smoke and play cards in them.
01:07:51Stop moaning!
01:07:52Oh, what's come over you, Kent?
01:07:54What's that girl Allen of yours going to think?
01:07:56Who said she was my girl?
01:07:57Well, isn't she?
01:07:58Ah!
01:07:59Cheshire la femme, eh?
01:08:00That sounds rude to me.
01:08:02Oh, what a headline.
01:08:03What a headline.
01:08:04Manicurist jilts after men and knocks echo campaign sky high.
01:08:08Who said she jilted me?
01:08:09Why isn't she here now?
01:08:10What are you trying to do, upset him?
01:08:12Why, tell you it's in the bag.
01:08:14Off it.
01:08:14Come on.
01:08:15Yeah, put that out.
01:08:19Well, if it isn't, Miss Allen.
01:08:21Oh, delighted to meet you.
01:08:22On your way to wish Kent good luck?
01:08:24Oh, no.
01:08:24I'm going to see Mr. Green.
01:08:25Are you?
01:08:26Well, this is his dressing room.
01:08:27Yes, come right in.
01:08:29He is.
01:08:30She couldn't resist coming in to wish you luck.
01:08:31I don't know.
01:08:32What's the idea?
01:08:32She's a little bit nervous, but we thought you wouldn't mind.
01:08:35Would you like to have supper with me after I've finished the moor?
01:08:37That's a great idea.
01:08:38Well, it's not going to be as easy as you think.
01:08:40He's got a punch like a mule.
01:08:42Who told you that?
01:08:43I've seen it.
01:08:43Oh, so that's where you've been every evening, in his training camp, eh?
01:08:46Well, what of it?
01:08:47Were you there when he took on those two sparring partners the Gazette had made so much fuss about?
01:08:50I was.
01:08:52Then it may amuse you to know that they were paid to lie down.
01:08:55What's that?
01:08:55Yes, by us.
01:08:56Just to make the fight worth betting on.
01:08:58It was a put-up job.
01:08:59And did it work?
01:09:00That's the best bit of news I've heard in years.
01:09:02Just the sort of trick I might have expected from a lot of crooks.
01:09:05Crooks?
01:09:06You heard me.
01:09:07Evening, kids.
01:09:08Good luck.
01:09:09And you'll need all you can get.
01:09:11So you're sorry with the softly, huh?
01:09:12What?
01:09:13You mean he really did set about you?
01:09:15Well, look at this.
01:09:16Well, that's the best bit of news I've heard in years.
01:09:19I'll be sending you some flowers.
01:09:21Ah.
01:09:22So it's all in the bag, is it?
01:09:23Why didn't you come back and tell us?
01:09:25Well, he told us not to come and see you no more.
01:09:27He's got a lucky charm.
01:09:28Bit of air.
01:09:29When he gets set in this club, there's no holding him.
01:09:31Don't make me laugh.
01:09:32You'll wait to see him.
01:09:33You'll wait.
01:09:33But the whole future of my paper depends on Kent winnings.
01:09:36What about my future?
01:09:37Every penny I've got's backed on him.
01:09:39If you think I can't pick that little squirt, leave it to me.
01:09:41Hey, what's all the trouble?
01:09:42The whole campaign depends.
01:09:43You don't understand.
01:09:44Don't stop pushing me about it.
01:09:46What's all the penny?
01:09:47I'm taking no chances.
01:09:49It's an old gag, but it's a good one.
01:09:51What's the gag?
01:09:52Well, we've got too much dough on this.
01:09:53So just in case, if things don't look healthy, we put a little pepper on your glove.
01:09:58You stuff it into his face, his eyes tired of water and he can't see.
01:10:01And when he goes to sneeze, zonk.
01:10:03That's an idea.
01:10:04Don't talk rot.
01:10:05Oh, you'll never know.
01:10:06Ah, it's that charm I'm scared of.
01:10:08What a bit of hair?
01:10:10That's good.
01:10:10I can't help it.
01:10:11I'm superstitious.
01:10:13Go and look at his bandages.
01:10:14Maybe you'll find it.
01:10:16Maybe I will.
01:10:18Do you know anybody think it was you that were doing the fight and you're so nervous?
01:10:22Well, aren't you?
01:10:24Me nervous?
01:10:25With that in there, I'll shock him on the kisser.
01:10:28Can I come in?
01:10:29Oh, yes, do.
01:10:30How are you feeling?
01:10:31Fine.
01:10:31Good. Look, I bought you a present.
01:10:33A present for me?
01:10:34Yes, here it is.
01:10:34And I want you to wear it instead of that old one.
01:10:37There.
01:10:38Miss Allen, you shouldn't.
01:10:39It's to bring you luck.
01:10:41I don't know what to say.
01:10:42Oh, that's all right.
01:10:43Let's have a look at your bandages.
01:10:45All right.
01:10:47I wish you were going to watch.
01:10:48Oh, I couldn't, George.
01:10:49But I'll be listening in.
01:10:51All right.
01:10:52Come on, George.
01:10:53You're on.
01:10:53I'll be seeing you.
01:10:54Good luck, George.
01:10:55And don't forget that lift.
01:10:56And your right duck.
01:10:57Give it to him as strong as you can.
01:10:58Come on.
01:10:59Come on, George.
01:11:00You'll get those in the ring.
01:11:00Come on, George.
01:11:01Come on.
01:11:03Come on.
01:11:03This way, George.
01:11:05Hey, what's Brazil?
01:11:06That's nothing.
01:11:07Nothing?
01:11:08I'm just saving his legs.
01:11:10What?
01:11:10You mean he's the winner?
01:11:12Yes.
01:11:13Fancy you get carried back.
01:11:15Yes, yes.
01:11:16Don't worry, lads.
01:11:17I'm coming back on that.
01:11:18Come on.
01:11:19Come on.
01:11:19Look at all his boys.
01:11:20Come on.
01:11:27Come on.
01:11:28Come on.
01:11:40Come on.
01:11:57Ladies and gentlemen, the next item in the finals of the Keep Fit Boxing Tournament will
01:12:08be a special four-round contest which carries with it the title of local leader of the Keep
01:12:14Fit Movement.
01:12:17In the right corner, we have Mr. Hector Cate of the Media Stores.
01:12:26And in the blue corner, Mr. George Green, the Battling Barber.
01:12:42Well, the place is packed here, and we're expecting a great fight.
01:12:48While Kent, of course, is recognized as a more experienced boxer, they say this Green
01:12:52has a sensational right.
01:12:54Have you got my mascot?
01:12:55No.
01:12:56You've got it, haven't you?
01:12:57No, I left it on the table.
01:12:58Hey, go and get it.
01:12:59I can't fight without it.
01:13:03It's hot.
01:13:04Come on, get in the ring!
01:13:0518 and go on!
01:13:14That's right, that's right.
01:13:16Keep after him!
01:13:29All right, Joe, he's certainly a game youngster, this Green.
01:13:31Oh, he's taken another one.
01:13:32Right smack on the jaw.
01:13:38Go on, go on, get off of me.
01:13:47Oh, it's in the bag.
01:13:53Don't knock your guard.
01:13:55Keep him up, keep him up.
01:14:01He's doing a crossword.
01:14:08What have I been training for?
01:14:09Get down.
01:14:10Two.
01:14:16Go on, Georgie.
01:14:17Sorry.
01:14:26Green's down to a terrific right.
01:14:28He's getting up again.
01:14:29What's the matter?
01:14:30He's not even trying to hit him.
01:14:31Well, how can he without his mask?
01:14:33He's what?
01:14:33I promise you won't tell.
01:14:35Tell what?
01:14:35He had a lock of your hair to bring him luck.
01:14:37It's gone.
01:14:38He's no good without it.
01:14:39Oh, why didn't you say so before?
01:14:41I said it.
01:14:42Here, give him this.
01:14:43Thanks.
01:14:44Good luck.
01:14:56Here, now you keep your head.
01:14:58Watch your chance and clunk him with your right.
01:15:00It's no use, I can't.
01:15:01Where's Ernie?
01:15:02Never mind.
01:15:02Never mind.
01:15:03I've got it, George.
01:15:05Have you?
01:15:05Jumpy, now I can.
01:15:07That's like a training, that is.
01:15:09Oh, don't worry.
01:15:09I'll get him in the next round.
01:15:11Second round.
01:15:12Second round.
01:15:14Oh, don't worry.
01:15:31What's happening?
01:15:32Who did he get on?
01:15:33Hey.
01:15:41I'm sorry, George!
01:15:41You're all right now, George?
01:15:42You're right!
01:15:42You're right!
01:15:43Come on, George!
01:15:50Come on, George!
01:15:55Are you serious?
01:15:55Off him!
01:16:04Good boy!
01:16:05Good boy!
01:16:07Green!
01:16:08Four!
01:16:09Five!
01:16:10Better get...
01:16:11Yes, good.
01:16:14They're fighting toe-to-toe.
01:16:15Going at it hammer and tongs.
01:16:16It's amazing.
01:16:17Green's made a wonderful comeback.
01:16:31You're doing fine, George.
01:16:32Another round like that and you've got him.
01:16:42Don't do that, George!
01:16:43It's on your glove.
01:16:44Now rub it in his face.
01:16:46When he goes to sneeze, zonk!
01:16:48All right.
01:16:49Save your strength for the punch.
01:16:51That's right, George.
01:16:52Keep it going.
01:16:53Go on, George.
01:17:00Hector!
01:17:01Is he hit by me?
01:17:02Yes, he's going.
01:17:03All right.
01:17:10Something seems to have happened to Green.
01:17:12He's swinging wildly, all over the place.
01:17:14Missing Kent by miles.
01:17:18Hector!
01:17:19Please, miss him!
01:17:20Why now, why now?
01:17:22Hector!
01:17:23What's the matter with him?
01:17:25No.
01:17:25No.
01:17:25Missing Kent by miles.
01:17:30Get off the ropes.
01:17:31Get off the ropes!
01:17:33Get off the ropes!

01:21:12Come on.
01:21:13You're a stretcher, dear.
01:21:14Hey, that's mine.
01:21:19Home, James.
01:21:20Mr. Green, please.
01:21:23Keep it.
01:21:24That's great, dear.
01:21:25Come on, you two.
01:21:26Don't, please.
01:21:27Keep it.
01:21:28There's no fair.
01:21:29What are you doing?
01:21:30Keep it.
01:21:31The strength is mine, the light is right for here.
01:21:34What's your thing?
01:21:36We're a native nation and we've made ourselves away.
01:21:39Keep it.

01:21:43You'll never be that separate.
01:21:45It's mother, child, for then, you look at it.
