00:28The Lone Ranger
00:40All right, let me put it this way, Governor.
00:43Say you were an oil shake, and then, here.
00:47You know what an oil shake is, don't you?
00:49No, no, I don't know. What is an oil shake?
00:50Same as a milkshake, only brown.
00:53That's good, isn't it?
00:54You like that one, do you?
00:56Marvellous, isn't it?
00:59And one day, your heirum chief shop steward,
01:02she comes into your marquee, demanding what?
01:06New yashmacks.
01:07What's the obvious thing you're going to do?
01:09Well, I don't know. I haven't had that much experience of haremes and yashmacks.
01:12Well, you don't, do you, living right up yet, where we do?
01:14Oh, I know what I'd do.
01:16What?
01:17What would I do?
01:18You'd put up your oil prices, missus. That's what you'd do.
01:21Oh, that's what I'd do.
01:22Of course you would.
01:24It's what they call an economic reaction to an economic action.
01:27All actions invite reactions.
01:31Well, you knew that, didn't you, Governor?
01:32Did you, Peter?
01:33Uh, yes, yes. It's, well, that's basic logic, isn't it?
01:36It's physics, actually.
01:37Oh, physics. Well, I meant physics.
01:38And it's not just new yashmacks with that torrid kind of bird.
01:42Oh, no.
01:43It's baubles, bangles and bubble baths.
01:45So up and up go your prices.
01:47In the next few years, I can see oil prices quadrupling again.
01:52Quadrupling.
01:54Quadru...
01:55I mean, quadrupling, really, really.
01:56Well, who could afford oil, then?
01:58Well, supposing it all...
02:00Eh?
02:02Nothing.
02:02So, what do you do?
02:04I don't know, Mr. Green.
02:05What do you do?
02:06You get in gas centrally in like what I've just done.
02:09Oh, yeah.
02:09Well, gas comes from the North Sea, doesn't it?
02:11No torrid birds there, are there?
02:12No, maybe the odd torrid murmur you do, though.
02:14Ah, but do they wear yashmacks?
02:16Oh, I don't know.
02:17Well, there you are, then.
02:18Where's your argument?
02:19Oh, that's just £8.64, you owe me.
02:21I prefer cash, if you don't mind.
02:22I knock off the V18, naturally.
02:24So that's just £8.
02:24Just £8, thank you, yes.
02:30All right, here I am, Mr. Green.
02:32Thank you, that's five, six, seven, eight.
02:37Right, here you are.
02:39Oh, thank you very much, Governor.
02:40Very kind of you.
02:43Now, remember what I said.
02:44Don't say I didn't warn you.
02:46Oil, gas.
02:49Oil, be seeing you in all the oil's familial braces.
02:54Thank you very much, Mr. Green.
02:55Yes, thanks.
02:56Thanks very much for the entertainment.
02:58What a character, eh?
02:59Oil, be seeing you.
03:01I think he's right, though, didn't you?
03:02What do you mean?
03:02Well, I mean, gas will be cheaper in the long run, here.
03:04Not to mention cleaner and more efficient.
03:07If we converted to gas,
03:09hey, we could get rid of that ugly old oil tank.
03:11Oh, and we can build a little patio with roses
03:14climbing up the trellis
03:15and I could be draped languidly in a garden seat.
03:18Like a martini, at first.
03:19No, we have a perfectly adequate central heating system.
03:21Thank you, Joseph.
03:22Oh, we'd make a little inquiry, though, couldn't we?
03:23No.
03:24Oh, just a teeny-weeny inquiry to the gas board.
03:26Ever so teeny-weeny?
03:27No.
03:28Because we're all electric.
03:30That is why not.
03:32I suppose that presents a slight problem.
03:34Slight problem, darling.
03:34The absolute one essential vital ingredient to gas central heating is gas.
03:41I mean, we could actually do my work with it, won't we?
03:43Well, sometimes, Peter, you speak to me as if I'm a half-wit.
03:47I'm sorry.
03:48I wish you'd say it with more conviction.
03:49All right.
03:49I'm sorry you're half-wit.
03:52I'm sorry.
03:53No, no, you're not a half-wit, darling.
03:54Now, that suits you, or would you like a little certificate to prove it as well?
03:58Oh, no, thank you very much.
03:59I have a certificate to prove that I wasn't a half-wit.
04:02People would be saying that I was a half-wit, wouldn't they?
04:06I'll give up.
04:08But, I mean, there is gas around, though, isn't there?
04:10Eh?
04:11Who do these belong to, look?
04:12Hee, hee, Kermit the Frog.
04:14Oh, where are you going?
04:15They're mine.
04:16Oh, of course there's gas around here.
04:19Carol Townsend was telling me the other day that she found her little boy sitting inside
04:22her gas oven.
04:24What was he doing inside the gas oven?
04:25Seeing if he turned back into a bun.
04:29Very funny.
04:31Oh, but it's true, honestly.
04:32Well, of course there is gas around.
04:34Well, where's the problem?
04:35Well, piping it into this house is a problem.
04:37The main might be miles away, might it?
04:39We won't know that if we don't ask, will we?
04:42Which is exactly what I'm going to do now this minute.
04:44Ah, now, Sheila, just a minute.
04:44Oh, darling, we don't have oil bills quadrupling.
04:47Yes, I know that.
04:47Besides, they do a very nice, neat little boiler.
04:49It looks just like a wall cupboard, really, in a lovely pastel palace I've seen in the adverts.
04:52Yes, darling, listen, just a sec, darling.
04:56It's a disease, it really is.
04:59It's called acquisitiveness, and it affects mainly the female of the species.
05:04There is no known cure, apart from grasping them firmly by the throat
05:08and throwing them out naked into a field of turnip.
05:11Which is exactly what my grandmother did to cure my grandfather
05:14of trying to lasso the vicar's wife.
05:17Yeah, but you can't do that to women nowadays, can you?
05:19I mean, you can't do anything to women these days.
05:21Apart from scaring the knickers off women drivers at roundabouts and traffic lights.
05:26I love doing that, don't you?
05:28No, really, there is only one cure, and that is pouring quick-setting concrete into your wallet.
05:35Go to the gas board.
05:36And there's nobody there.
05:37And they're going to look into it for us, and they're going to see just how far the nearest gas
05:41main is,
05:41and if it's feasible to connect us.
05:44All rather umbilical, isn't it?
05:46We're going to have a gasometer for a mum.
05:48Good.
05:50Well, you've changed your tune.
05:52No, no, no, it's still not keen.
05:53Why didn't you say good when I said that the gas board were making investigations?
05:56Because it will take them at least 25 years.
06:00Because, I mean, that is the sort of average time it takes a nationalised industry
06:03to carry out an investigation of any sort.
06:05I mean, major.
06:07Do they go nuclear?
06:08Minor?
06:09Do they use white or coloured bog paper?
06:12It doesn't make any difference.
06:14It still takes them 25 years.
06:17Good morning.
06:18Mrs. Barnes.
06:19Yes?
06:21May I just say at the outset that what you're about to do
06:24would probably constitute the most meaningful experience of your life.
06:28Or, to put it very bluntly, it will knock sex for six.
06:33Can I tell you?
06:35Pardon?
06:36You don't know who I am, do you?
06:39No.
06:42Go on, have a guess.
06:44I can't.
06:47Mr. Thurm.
06:48In person.
06:50Oh.
06:51How do you do, Mr. Thurm?
06:54Oh, very droll, Mrs. Barnes.
06:56Oh, yes.
06:57Trez amusant to slip into the French for a moment, eh?
07:01My card.
07:03Oh, from the gas.
07:05That, Mr. Thurm.
07:06Oh, what a silly billy.
07:08You must think I am.
07:09Oh, but very attractive, Mrs. Barnes.
07:11Oh, yes.
07:12Very attractive indeed.
07:13And as I always say,
07:15beauty like a giraffe's bottom walks tall.
07:20Did you say you wanted to come in?
07:22Yes, please.
07:23Feel free.
07:25I haven't got ugly feet.
07:27I've got very attractive feet, you know, as feet go.
07:29They're very slim and white and elegant.
07:31And I've got very nice little twitches as well.
07:33Haven't you, ladies?
07:34Don't you want to eat?
07:37Peter, this is Mr. Thurm.
07:38Oh, sorry.
07:39Mr. Wilson from the gas.
07:41Simon Wilson, at your service, sir.
07:45Well, what's it going to be, the hand or the foot?
07:47I'm sorry.
07:48I do beg your pardon.
07:49I'm awfully sorry.
07:49Please.
07:50I do beg your pardon.
07:51Would you...
07:52Um, sorry.
07:53Would you...
07:53Ah, yeah.
07:54Please sit down.
07:55Sorry.
07:55I'm just having a conversation with my foot.
07:57Oh, yes.
07:57They don't get much clumpy, do they?
07:58Stuck down there in a sock and a boot all day.
08:01Well, you are from the gas, sir.
08:02Yes, indeed.
08:03Yes, from the gas board.
08:0525 years soon, dear.
08:07That's all right.
08:07I beg your pardon.
08:08I used to write a little flabby joke of my wife.
08:11Well, now, as I was saying to your very attractive good lady,
08:14this is a decision you'll rejoice you made, Mr. Barnes.
08:17Yes, I feel that rejoice is exactly the word.
08:20Or as the French say...
08:21Yes, excuse me, Mr.
08:22What decision is that?
08:24Oh, your decision to have gas central heating.
08:26To convert from oil to gas.
08:29Oh, very wise, Mr. Barnes.
08:30Now, look, let me start by showing you some literature.
08:33The thing is, Mr.
08:36We haven't actually decided yet.
08:38No, good.
08:39Right.
08:39Well, then, what I'll do is I'll have a quick peep at your kitchen.
08:43No, no, look, we haven't decided yet.
08:44I don't think there seems to be any point.
08:46Just to make myself outfire with the topography and the ambiance,
08:48as I say in France, you know.
08:50You might think a gas ball is just a bit of equipment.
08:52Not so, Mr. Barnes.
08:53Very sensitive.
08:54Yes, I know that.
08:55Look, Mr.
08:55We have not.
08:56No, we haven't decided yet to convert from oil to gas.
08:59No, we haven't.
09:00How about the memo, Mr.
09:01Barnes, was crystal clear.
09:02Memo?
09:02What memo is that?
09:03Well, the one in my intro this morning.
09:05Hmm?
09:05It said, Barnes, Dan Roman, pick me a revenue.
09:08Now, that is you, isn't it?
09:09Oh, yes, that's our.
09:10Yes.
09:11Here we are.
09:12Yes.
09:14Barnes, Dan Roman, pick me a revenue, conversion from oil to gas.
09:18Yes, well, we haven't done...
09:19Oh, hello, hello, hello.
09:20What is this, then?
09:22Electric.
09:23Look at that.
09:24If that was gas, my hand would be burned.
09:25Yes, I know.
09:27It's good.
09:27Mr.
09:28Look.
09:29Look, look, we cannot convert to gas.
09:32No way.
09:33Why not?
09:34Well, because we haven't got any gas.
09:36That's why not.
09:38Oh, is that all that's bothering you?
09:40We could get gas to a polar bear on a nice boat if we had to.
09:43Really?
09:44Yes, I'm sure you could.
09:45But could you see if you could get it as far as Pickmere Avenue,
09:47and then you could nip up to the Arctic and turn on a few polar bears?
09:50No, I'm sure we can give you gas, Mr. Barnes.
09:52Are you absolutely sure, Mr. Barnes?
09:56Well, no, I mean, I'm not absolutely sure.
09:59Then I would much prefer that you were absolutely sure before we went any further.
10:02Oh, good, right.
10:03Well, I'd better just check your existing equipment, Mr. Barnes.
10:06You know, the ambiance is very important.
10:08Yes, I know.
10:08There doesn't seem to be much point, Mr.
10:10I don't really want any gas, you see.
10:13No, no, good.
10:14Right, well, I will leave you some literature.
10:16No, look, there isn't any point, Mr.
10:18Look, would you mind if you...
10:19Ah!
10:20Ah!
10:20Oh, God!
10:27Now, one very nice little brochure here for you, Mr. Barnes.
10:32No, thank you.
10:33No, no, not yet.
10:34No, thank you very much.
10:35You know, it's this memo that's worrying me.
10:38I'm supposed to act on it, you see.
10:40Yes, well, you have acted on it, haven't you?
10:42You're here, aren't you?
10:43Yes, but you see, I haven't actually activised it, have I?
10:46Well, how can you activise a piece of paper?
10:49I mean, a piece of paper is dead.
10:50It's like my wife's mother.
10:52It's an inanimate object.
10:54No, but you see, you energise it, you dynamise it, you prioritise it.
11:00If you make it sound like Apollo 1, honestly, look, please, could you just throw away that memo?
11:05I beg your pardon?
11:07You cannot throw away a memo, Mr. Barnes.
11:09You cannot throw away, excuse me, may I have a look?
11:10See, Diane, you cannot throw away a memo.
11:12Look, I do not want any gas.
11:17Mr. Barnes, don't make things harder than they already are.
11:21I have to deal with the general public, you know.
11:23You should think you do.
11:24It's all in that briefcase.
11:27Brute.
11:30They take your breath away, don't they, salesmen?
11:33They're a completely new branch of the human race.
11:36I think they're going to take over the world, you know, even before Tony Benn.
11:42It might have been nicer to him.
11:43He was only doing his job, poor lad.
11:45Poor lad, nothing.
11:46If he had brought some lengths of pipe with him, turned his collar the other way around,
11:49he would have had us converted by now.
11:51I've scuttled your theory about it taking the gas board 25 years.
11:55Not in the least.
11:56He was here in a couple of days.
11:57Ah, yes, but was he in possession of his facts?
11:59No, he was not.
12:01Uh-huh.
12:01No, I think we've seen the last of the gas board for at least...
12:04All right, I'll be generous.
12:0624 years.
12:16Yes?
12:17Brought your meter, mate.
12:19What meter?
12:19Oi, mind my lawn.
12:21What meter?
12:22A gas meter.
12:24Where do you want it to put?
12:25In a garage?
12:26Oh, no.
12:28What's that?
12:29I don't want a gas meter.
12:32Of course you want a gas meter.
12:33No, I don't.
12:35But I've brought you one.
12:36Bloody nice of these two.
12:39Much nicer than those ponce electric meters.
12:41You know what you say?
12:42We're at a gas board, ain't we?
12:45I haven't got any gas.
12:48You haven't?
12:49No.
12:50Still, I expect you soon would have.
12:53And I did say you wanted your meter putting in the garage, didn't you?
12:55I don't want it putting anywhere.
12:57Look, I don't want a gas meter until I get some gas,
13:00which we might not get.
13:02And the way my instincts are going at the moment,
13:04I am not going to get any gas.
13:06Not now, not ever.
13:07So you can please take your pretty meter away.
13:09All the paperwork's been done, mate.
13:10Well, then undo it then, mate.
13:13Oh, and if you find you've got yourself five minutes to spare,
13:16you know, because I know you're a very busy man,
13:18why don't you get yourself a nice big bucket full of hot blackcurrant jam
13:23and stick it right up your...
13:29Where's that at the door?
13:30You'll never believe it if I told you.
13:32You've won Fiona Richmond in a raffle.
13:35No, it was them again.
13:36You're kidding.
13:37No, I wish I was.
13:39They wanted to give us a meter.
13:42Meter of what?
13:44A gas meter.
13:46I give you hell.
13:47We haven't got gas yet.
13:49Look, I know that, and you know that,
13:52but they don't seem to know.
13:59It's more to the...
14:03It's more to the point,
14:04they don't seem to want to know it either.
14:07Do you know what I think?
14:08What?
14:08I think that we're in their clutches.
14:11You mean they've got us by the short ones?
14:12Exactly.
14:14There's no way we can get out of it short of leaving the planet.
14:17Didn't they just split?
14:19No, they'd only track us down.
14:21We'd be safe with my mother.
14:23I'm not that desperate.
14:26Yet.
14:27I'm not that desperate.
14:30Oh, my God!
15:02Yes, sir, what can I get you?
15:03You could have a small scotch and soda, please.
15:07How much is that?
15:08That's 32 feet.
15:1032 feet, sir.
15:11Excuse me, could you tell me if that gentleman down there is Mr Wainwright?
15:15Oh, that's Jack Wainwright, all right?
15:18Ah, it is, actually. I thought I recognised him. Thanks very much.
15:28Excuse me, are you Mr Wainwright?
15:30Well, I was when I got up this morning, but you never know, do you?
15:33All that plutonium we're breathing in.
15:37Yes.
15:39Very precarious.
15:40I call it a bloody liberty myself.
15:43My name's Barnes, Peter Barnes.
15:45Oh, yes.
15:45A friend of Lawrence Collins.
15:47Don't know.
15:48Oh, is he an insurance broker who's got a little office around the corner of the parade there?
15:51Tall, slim fella, dark hair.
15:53Yeah, that's it.
15:53Still don't know.
15:54Oh, well, he does know you, and he suggests that you might be able to help me.
16:00Ah, couldn't have turned it better, Mr Wainwright.
16:03It's Barnes, actually, Peter Barnes.
16:05Couldn't have turned it better, Peter.
16:07She had them yesterday.
16:11Oh, lovely they are.
16:13Spitting image of their mother.
16:14Perfect ears, firm little bodies, beautiful markings.
16:18They'll be champions, can't miss.
16:21What are we talking about, Mr Wainwright?
16:23Rabbits.
16:24Oh, rabbits.
16:25Ah, rabbits.
16:26You do want to buy one of me, don't you?
16:27Oh, no, no, no, no.
16:28Actually, I thought, never mind.
16:30No, no, no.
16:31I haven't got any way to put a rabbit.
16:32Except apart from in the oven.
16:37Well, actually, Mr Wainwright, I wanted to have a little chat with you about the gas board.
16:42Oh, sorry.
16:43Out of office hours.
16:44When I leave that desk at five, Pip Emma, that's me finished.
16:47Yes, I know.
16:48You see, the thing is, Mr Wainwright, I was going to come to the office, but it's been very difficult
16:52for me, what with me working out of town and everything else, and Lawrence Collins suggested...
16:55Here, does he drive a red granada with black-up hostry, one of these great big aerials?
17:00Yes, he does.
17:01Still complacent.
17:02But anyway, he suggested that you and I had a little chat over a drink.
17:06Drink?
17:06Did you say drink?
17:07Yes.
17:08Could I get you one?
17:09Hey, can't I have a double scotch?
17:10Gordon!
17:12Gordon, could I...
17:12There you are, Mr Wainwright.
17:14No, this is...
17:15Yeah, could I?
17:16He's very quick, isn't he, that Gordon?
17:18Yeah.
17:18Now, what can I do for you?
17:19Ah, well, Mr Wainwright, I understand that you are in a position of some authority at the gas
17:26board.
17:27Some authority?
17:28Ha!
17:29I run that place, Mr...
17:30It's Barnes, Peter Barnes.
17:31I run that place, Peter.
17:33Oh, I know Mr Brunskill's got his name in the notepaper as manager, but he's what you
17:36call titular.
17:37Beg your pardon?
17:38Titular.
17:39Oh, titular.
17:39Yeah.
17:40I'm the real one in charge.
17:42I mean, thanks to fish fingers.
17:44Fish fingers?
17:45Yeah.
17:46And what makes brains?
17:47Fish does.
17:48Who eats fish fingers?
17:49The working class does.
17:50That's what makes us top dogs.
17:52Nothing to do with your Jack Joneses or you his cannons.
17:55Nothing at all.
17:56What's your problem?
17:58Well, you see, my wife made a very tentative inquiry about having gas installed.
18:05We're all electric, you see.
18:06Oh, shouldn't happen to a dog.
18:07No, no, no, exactly.
18:08Well, you see, she wanted to change from oil-fired central heating to gas central heating.
18:12You won't regret it.
18:12No, I know.
18:13That's right.
18:13If we decide to do it.
18:15Then what's stopping you, then?
18:16Well, the fact that we have the lack of gas, you know, that we are all electric.
18:19That's what's stopping us.
18:20Oh, that's no problem.
18:21We can get gas to a polar bear and a nicer blow if you want.
18:25Yes, so I understand.
18:26But that really isn't my problem, you see, Mr. Ware.
18:28My problem is that I am being besieged by your people.
18:32I mean, I've had a man deliver a meter to measure gas that I haven't got.
18:36I've had a man coming to sell me an appliance to attach itself to a meter that measures gas
18:40that I haven't got, and I'm beginning to get just a little bit fed up with it,
18:43and I want it stopped.
18:46Not easy.
18:49Why not?
18:50Well, the memos are good night, you see.
18:52The paperwork's been done.
18:53Yes, I know.
18:54Well, can't you call the memos back in?
18:55Can't you say, come on, memo, memo, come on, come back to daddy, memo.
19:03It's not funny, Mr. Ware.
19:05No, Barnes, Peter Barnes.
19:06It's not funny, Peter.
19:07You can't joke about memos.
19:09No, no, no, I'm sorry, I realise that is a very serious thing, a memo,
19:11but I really would like it stopping, I really would.
19:14Let me explain it to you like this.
19:16We're a nationalised industry, right?
19:18Right.
19:18Now, the old point of nationalising was to secure jobs for the lads, right?
19:22Right.
19:22The ones that had eaten up all their fish fingers and grown all the brains.
19:24Right.
19:25None of you rubbish.
19:27So we've got the jobs, right?
19:28Right.
19:28But there's one snake.
19:30Yeah, really, what's that?
19:30We need the work as well.
19:32Ah, you do, don't you?
19:33Yes, of course you would do, wouldn't you?
19:34Unfortunately, now, that's where you come in.
19:36I mean, you've got to do you a bit amateur.
19:38Me, how?
19:38Well, but be the customer.
19:40You're supposing I don't want to be the customer?
19:42What's that got to do with it?
19:43Well, everything.
19:44I mean, it's still a free country, isn't it?
19:46Just?
19:47Well, if you want to be difficult.
19:48Yes, I do, yes.
19:49Well, it's very antisocial.
19:51I mean, we're only doing what free enterprises does.
19:54It's all right as they come knocking on your door selling encyclopedias,
19:57kludgy brushes and rubber fashion wear.
20:00Nobody knocks on my front door selling rubber fashion wear.
20:02We don't.
20:03Give me your name and address and I'll see what I can do.
20:08Yes, thank you very much.
20:10Don't mention it.
20:10As I was saying, when we're on the board, we've been pushy and interfering.
20:14When the other side does it, it's called efficiency.
20:16We can't win.
20:18No, I know, but I really would like it stopped.
20:20I really would.
20:21You're quite sure?
20:22You want the memos calling in?
20:24Yes, please.
20:25Just call my memos.
20:26Come in, number nine.
20:26Your time's up.
20:27Then you'll be behind me.
20:28Here you go, being funny again about a very serious subject.
20:32I'm sorry, Mr. Wendt.
20:33I'm just getting a bit overwrought.
20:34That's all.
20:34I'm sorry.
20:35Well, just as well, there are not many like you in the country, mate.
20:37I would be in the dark ages very quickly.
20:39Fish fingers are no fish fingers.
20:42Still, I suppose I could see what I could do.
20:46Well, that is very nice.
20:46It's a very nice drop of scotch, that.
20:47Yes, well, could I get...
20:48Go on, you've twisted my arm.
20:50Gordon!
20:51Could I have...
20:52Here you are, Mr. Wendt.
20:53No, Mr. Wendt.
20:54Excuse me.
20:55Oh, gee, he's quick, isn't he?
20:56Now, I tell you what, Mr. Wendt.
20:58Uh, Barnes.
20:59I tell you what, Peter.
21:00Just you leave it with me, and I'll see what I can do.
21:02Now, that Chet Lawrence.
21:04Hmm?
21:04Yeah, I think I'm on to him.
21:05He's got a scar down his boat race, and he walks with a limp.
21:08No.
21:10I wonder who that geyser is, then.
21:12I love you.
