01:04It rained the day of Harry Burrard's funeral.
01:08I suppose it said everything about Harry's life.
01:12The last few years of it, anyway.
01:17A life of laughter that ended in tears.
01:19A life of laughter.
01:55I'm not going to say much.
01:58Words can't do Harry any good now.
02:00He's gone.
02:03But what should be said is that, well, that Harry wasn't always like what most of you remember him.
02:09He used to be the best, and I mean that, the very best.
02:12Top of the bill.
02:15Ask them up there on the top shelf what's happened, because it's the gods who break you, just as it's
02:20the gods who make you.
02:22And the gods stopped laughing for Harry.
02:25He didn't know why.
02:27Nobody knows why they stopped laughing.
02:29Just the same as nobody knows why they start laughing.
02:31I can tell you that for nothing.
02:35So let's remember Harry.
02:37Harry, like he was when they were still laughing.
02:43When Harry G. Burrard was top of the bill.
03:01His act was replaced by Jennings and Johnson, as much ahead of their time as Burrard had been behind it.
03:07Shine on, shine on, harvest moon, up in the sky.
03:17I ain't had no lovin' since January, February, June or July.
03:26Snow's time, ain't no time to sit outdoors and spoon.
03:33Moon, so shine on, shine on, harvest moon.
03:40Oh, dear, my God.
03:42Hey, where are you going?
03:44I'm getting out of here.
03:45This theater's been raided so many times, the police get top billing.
03:48And that doorman, he told you you hadn't had a bite in four days?
03:50Well, that's all right.
03:51I bit him.
03:53My real reason is I don't think the act is working.
03:56Aw, pal, don't take on soul.
03:59Be positive.
04:00Okay.
04:03I'm positive the act isn't working.
04:05Well, whose fault is that, tightwad?
04:07Who ever heard of buying a comedy act from a French mime artist?
04:11It was a bargain.
04:12Some bargain.
04:13What did we get?
04:13Ten pages of blank paper.
04:15Yes, but we didn't know that till we had it translated.
04:19Just think what all these girls in Bradford are gonna miss.
04:23It's tragic.
04:25Goodbye, I'm leaving all the other girls behind me.
04:31Goodbye, I'm caught so after this.
04:33Don't ever mind me.
04:37I made the leap and I took the chance.
04:40I found the girl who she'll make me dance.
04:42So it's a wedding trip with my own bride.
04:56I'm Hank.
04:57I'm Bill.
04:58Can we buy you a drink, honey?
04:59Something sharp for a sharp little lady?
05:01Get her a gin.
05:02Make it a double.
05:03A double.
05:06There are a couple of cards out there.
05:08Yeah.
05:17Are you a card, did you?
05:20Me?
05:21Well, I'm only a boy.
05:25Julie was right.
05:25They were a couple of cards.
05:28They existed in an atmosphere of cigars, whiskey and cool lechery.
05:34Uncle Nick liked them.
05:37And they respected him.
05:39He spent many an afternoon teaching them to play billiards and snooker.
05:42And, of course, he couldn't resist showing off his trick shots.
05:50He kissed them.
06:06He kissed it.
06:11He kissed him.
06:35I spent my days very differently
06:38in my favourite Bronte country
06:42just getting drunk on all the beauty and trying to paint it
06:45wasn't enough anymore
06:47I wanted Nancy to see it too
07:33I'm going up on the moors tomorrow to do a bit of sketching and if you're not doing anything
07:36if you'd like to come
07:40and it's wintry of course
07:41but that's a wonderful country
07:44you can walk for miles and see nobody
07:46I wish you'd come
07:48what am I supposed to do while you're painting?
07:50stand about and freeze?
07:52that is cold
07:54I suppose you're not used to it
07:56not like our girls
07:59what girls?
08:02it was just an idea, forget it
08:04Richard!
08:05I just happen to remember how I've been wishing today, all day
08:09but no, sorry, I spoke
08:11my goodness
08:12you can be artful when you try, can't you?
08:15come on Nancy, we're waiting for you
08:19what time do we start?
08:21seven o'clock, sharp
08:28I don't know why I came up here
08:32there aren't even any trams
08:36you don't want trams for
08:38I like trams
08:40there's something nice and comforting about a tram
08:43are you going to be famous one day, Richard?
08:46I mean a really famous painter
08:51yes
09:02Nancy
09:07no, I can't meet you tonight, darling
09:09I'm sitting for Sir Richard Herncastle, don't you know
09:13the Botticelli of Bruddersford
09:16he tells such amusing stories about his wild youth in the music halls
09:20he fell in love there, you know
09:23did he?
09:24who with?
09:26oh, a little chit of a thing he took a fancy to
09:28common as muck, of course
09:29but she had quite good ankles
09:32he cast her aside
09:33in his ruthless
09:35rise
09:35to the top
09:37and she starved to death in an attic
09:40he wept buckets
09:42so romantic
09:47what's that noise?
09:49guns
09:50an army range over there somewhere
09:58cold?
09:59a bit
10:01won't be long
10:12no
10:15it was just the look on your face
10:18like a happy child's look
10:21that's what I wanted to kiss
10:26oh, I love it here
10:28I want to come back every summer
10:35say something, Richard
10:37what's the matter?
10:38aren't you enjoying it?
10:39don't think I've ever enjoyed a day so much in my life
10:42I know what you mean
10:52I'll remember that look till I die
10:55it was the first really intimate thing that happened between us
11:04oh, God
11:07it's nearly five o'clock
11:08gotta be on before seven
11:09oh, gosh, what are we going to do?
11:23what are we going to do?
11:43I don't know.
12:27I don't know.
12:32I don't know.
12:32Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.
12:36Ooh.
12:37Ha, ha, ha.
12:39Ha, ha, ha.
12:42Definitely not from round here.
12:46By gum, but he must have been going at a hell of a lake.
12:49Ha, ha, ha, ha.
12:52Ha, ha, ha.
12:52Ha, ha, ha.
12:53Ha, ha, ha.
12:53Ah, that's better.
12:53At last, take him a joy, heavy man.
12:56The leadership of himself has been waiting for hours.
12:59We are deathful.
13:01Relief is at hand, your lordship.
13:02Lad here helped Kitchener relieve mafeking.
13:05Really?
13:06Got my medal to prove it, your lordship?
13:08Especially.
13:09Oh, very civil of your lordship.
13:10Now, what's the problem?
13:12There has been no movement for days.
13:15Days?
13:16Days.
13:16We are deathful.
13:18Oh, not to worry, your lordship.
13:20I was out at one only the other day.
13:22No movement for a fortnight.
13:24Bunged up solid, it was.
13:25And no wonder, if you see what I pulled out, everything but the kitchen sink.
13:30I cured it, though.
13:31Ha, ha, ha.
13:32Good man.
13:32When I get my brodler going, whoa.
13:36Let's sing.
13:37Ballcock.
13:39Good.
13:40Never heard a thing, your lordship.
13:43He's what?
13:53Oh, you late.
13:55Hello?
13:58Hello.
13:59recreation
14:16Oh, I thought it was Nancy you were falling for.
14:19Hey, that's good. Can we use it?
14:31Bravo, my friend. Bravo, my friend.
14:38Bravo, my friend.
15:00Bravo, my friend.
15:33Bravo, my friend.
15:45Bravo, my friend.
15:47Bravo, my friend.
15:51It's a good house tonight.
15:55Good for a Tuesday night.
15:57Oh, you know what day it is.
15:58I thought you might have forgotten.
15:59As well as the time you should be on stage.
16:02Sorry I was a bit late, Uncle.
16:03I was up on the moors painting.
16:05Don't lie to me, lad.
16:07It's as good as an insult.
16:09I was painting, Uncle.
16:10You were out with...
16:11What's her name?
16:12Nancy Ellis.
16:13She came with me, that's all.
16:15Isn't it allowed, taking a girl out?
16:16Anything's allowed, as long as it doesn't interfere with your part in my act.
16:21It goes for Nancy Ellis or Susie or any other little tart you might take up with.
16:27Don't ever be late on stage again.
16:31Nancy is not a tart.
16:34She's not female, then.
16:36Ask this one.
16:37She'll tell you.
16:38Oh, have your supper without me.
16:45Been telling you off for being late, has he?
16:48What do you think?
16:51What for you to ask me?
16:53Oh, just another of his expert opinions about women.
16:59Is she worth it?
17:02Well, then, you can put up with his opinions.
17:08He shouldn't have been late, Richard.
17:10He's not professional.
17:12He's in the right about that.
17:16Hungry?
17:19Just take and kill you for supper.
17:21Come on.
17:45Mr. Ollerton, forgive this intrusion.
17:48My name is Miss Foster Jones.
17:51Not unknown to, I imagine.
17:54I'm here on behalf of my wife.
17:56I saw your amazing performance tonight, and I also saw a faint ray of hope.
18:01And that, Sarah, is why I am standing here now.
18:09I want you to make my wife disappear.
18:14Oh, no, not on stage, of course, but actually.
18:18In real life.
18:19From a meeting, in fact.
18:22A public meeting.
18:23Exactly.
18:24My wife, Mrs. Foster Jones, is one of the leaders of a suffragette movement.
18:30She's already suffered two periods of imprisonment, and even now she is on the run, as they say,
18:36hiding from the police who will arrest her on sight.
18:40I take it you do believe that women should have the vote?
18:43No, I don't.
18:46Neither should most men.
18:48Still, go on.
18:51On Sunday night, in Leeds, a big meeting has been arranged at the Forrester's Institute.
18:57No, the police will be there in force, of course.
19:00But if my wife could get onto the platform and make a speech, the effect would be sensational.
19:05Of course, as soon as she's finished speaking, they will arrest her.
19:09That is, unless in some way it were possible to make her disappear.
19:17Can you?
19:19Will you help us?
19:20There would be a fee.
19:22No, no.
19:23Forget the money.
19:25It's the problem that interests me.
19:28Will your wife take orders from you?
19:30We don't believe in that sort of relationship.
19:34Well, you can tell your wife, Mr. Jones, that I cannot undertake to rescue her from the police
19:38unless she promises to do exactly what I tell her to do, without question.
19:44There will be no difficulty there, Mr. Arlington.
19:47We'll meet tomorrow, then, at the Forrester's Institute in Leeds, ten o'clock.
19:51I'm very grateful.
19:53Oh, no.
19:54Forget the thanks.
19:55I haven't agreed yet.
19:57Now, off with you, Mr. Jones.
20:00I'm late for my supper already.
20:02Oh.
20:03Yes, of course.
20:03I'm so sorry.
20:07Thank you again, and good night.
20:27I'll take Bob's as well.
20:29I think that's fine.
20:31I think that's fine.
20:32Nothing for me, I suppose.
20:35Billy Do.
20:37No.
20:38Pink envelope.
20:39Must be a Billy Do.
20:41What's she say?
20:44She, er, just wants me to come and say this morning or so.
20:47Can't bear to be parted from you, is that it?
20:49Probably.
20:50Mm-hmm.
21:00Speak to Nancy.
21:01Who are you?
21:05Is she in?
21:11A Mr. Richard Herdencastle, the squire, presents his compliment and his size ten.
21:17Boo!
21:22Hm?
21:23Er, I got your note.
21:27Er, free if you are.
21:29Where should we go?
21:32Where would you like to go?
21:36Um...
21:36Harrogate?
21:37It's not very far on the train, and I want to take the waters for my completion.
21:42Right, Harrogate.
21:47I'll be about five minutes.
21:57I want you, lad.
22:09Do you know where the Forrester's Hall in Leeds is?
22:12It's near the town hall.
22:13We're going now.
22:15Now?
22:16Yes, now.
22:17Well, I can't.
22:18Why not?
22:19You've no rehearsal?
22:21You've nothing on the boil with Sam and Ben?
22:23Well, I've just this second agreed to be somewhere else.
22:26I must not have made myself clear enough the other night.
22:29You've only won priority lab while you worked for me.
22:32That's to do what I ask you to do.
22:34Anybody else plays second fiddle, whoever she is.
22:41And I might as well say this while I'm at it.
22:44I'm getting tired of having to repeat myself.
22:47I'll wait for you in the car for exactly two minutes.
22:51Do we even get to know why we should go to Leeds?
22:54To see a man about a dog.
22:56It'll be a sight more interesting than running after some tart.
23:08Oh, it's him again.
23:10I think he's tied to a piece of a plastic.
23:13I'm not ready yet.
23:15Um, well, I can't manage it.
23:18Could we change it till this afternoon?
23:20Won't his uncle let him play out then?
23:22Well, I'll have to go to Leeds on some business.
23:23He has to go to Leeds and he wants me to go with him.
23:25I want to go to Harrogate.
23:28Well, we could go this afternoon.
23:30So you're going to Leeds with your uncle then, are you?
23:33I'll have to.
23:35Well, even you can't be in two places at once, so off with you to Leeds.
23:48Richard.
23:49I'll meet you at the station at one o'clock.
23:54I don't teach you to play around.
23:55Oh!
23:56Like your bloody mother.
24:14Hello, Miss Rollerton.
24:16This is Mrs Muriel Dirks.
24:18She will be chairing the meeting on Sunday next week.
24:21How do you do, Miss Rollerton?
24:23It's marvellous for you to help us.
24:26We're always especially pleased when a man sympathises with our cause.
24:30I don't sympathise with it.
24:41Driving over from Bradford, Uncle Nick had condescended to tell me a bit of what we were supposed to be
24:46doing.
24:48It must have appealed to his vanity because he obviously wasn't interested in suffragettes.
24:52Just as I hoped.
24:54Stairs on either side with a pastoral back there.
24:58Um...
25:01These seats, will they be occupied on Sunday?
25:04Every seat will be filled.
25:05We put a screen in front of the pass door.
25:08Mrs Foster Jones exits a bit uncertainly behind the screen.
25:11Comes out again as if she's changed her mind.
25:13And goes out by one of the stairs.
25:15Please move in and arrest her.
25:17And it won't be Mrs Foster Jones?
25:19Exactly.
25:20Sheila swapped coats and hats with the second woman.
25:22Made her escape through the pass door.
25:24Look, Miss Rollerton.
25:25What's this about a second woman?
25:27The woman who'll be impersonating your wife while she escapes.
25:32Don't the police have to be very stupid to be deceived by that?
25:38Don't teach me my business.
25:45Here's the manners of a ruffian.
25:48Typical arrogant man.
25:50We've got to trust him, Muriel.
25:54Agnes should be sold.
25:55The sort of man we're trusting with her freedom.
26:01Have you got a photograph of your wife, by any chance?
26:05Yes, as a matter of fact, I have, yes.
26:10There you are.
26:13Well, well.
26:15Who do you think she looks like, Richard?
26:24Julie Blaine?
26:26You're in luck.
26:27Your wife has a passing resemblance to an actress in our company.
26:30She could do the impersonation.
26:31Oh, that's splendid.
26:32Isn't it, Muriel?
26:34An actress?
26:35We don't even know.
26:37Only trouble is, she drinks.
26:39Still, you can't have everything, can you?
26:41You're really going to ask Julie to do it?
26:43Why not?
26:44We don't even like her.
26:45I'm not going to sleep with her, lad.
26:47I thought that was your department.
26:48But isn't it a bit risky?
26:49I mean, she might end up in prison instead of Mrs Foster Jones.
26:51She might well.
26:52You'd have to find somebody else to lust for then, wouldn't you?
26:56I'm not lusting after Julie Blaine!
27:08I can't get the taste of that awful water out of my mouth.
27:11I thought spa water was supposed to be good for you, not poison you.
27:13Well, you know, like the man said, it strengthen his stomach, good and quick appetite and further his digestion.
27:19What more can you want?
27:38I wonder what a love potion tastes like.
27:40Oh, it tastes horrible.
27:41Everything that's good for you tastes horrible.
27:43It's one of the laws of the universe.
27:44You think a love potion would be good for you, do you?
27:46If you need one.
27:47You don't?
27:50No.
27:51Don't you flatter yourself?
27:52Yeah.
27:58No.
28:24This is how you like me to be, isn't it, Richard?
28:26All froth and giggles.
28:30I can't be like that all the time.
28:33What about when I'm old and grey?
28:36I think I'll just remember you like you are now.
28:40Forever and ever.
28:42Until the colours of the rainbow fade.
28:45Yeah.
28:54Richard.
29:48So, let's go.
30:18We're just going to get you some help, Mr. Ollinton.
30:24As I anticipated, the journey to meet Mrs. Foster-Jones at her secret hideaway in the winter-strewn hills was
30:30more than a little tricky.
30:32Apart from them disliking each other, Uncle Mick hadn't told Julie why we were actually going.
30:36He was being his usual perverse self, I suppose.
30:39So Julie, in her turn, was looking for opportunities to be willful.
30:44And she found one.
30:45And we got stuck in the snow conveniently near a public house.
31:17One for the road.
31:18She was much fatter than her mum, wasn't she?
31:21Oh, come see.
31:22Oh.
31:45Muriel Dierks lived in a lovely old cottage,
31:47which was soon echoing the sound of Uncle Nick's voice,
31:49as I suspected it might.
31:52He seemed to see her as a challenger as soon as he walked through the door.
31:56Over the nut cutlets and date sandwiches,
31:58he held forth at ever-increasing length.
32:02She was more than a match for him.
32:04So you think women should be condemned to play a minor role forever,
32:08do you, Mr. Ollenton?
32:09They should play the role they were made for, like everybody.
32:11Born the weaker sex, remain the weaker sex.
32:14That's the way nature works.
32:16But shouldn't women at least have the chance to show what they can do?
32:19Hear, hear.
32:19The best will make their own chances, like the best men do.
32:22But the best women can't even vote, Mr. Ollenton.
32:25Now, do you think I should have the vote, for instance?
32:28That depends on whether you're an idiot or not.
32:31That's insulting!
32:32He's an expert at that.
32:34Please.
32:34Rather than, say, an illiterate labourer.
32:37Well, as I said, I don't know.
32:39Really?
32:42You're afraid to give us the vote, Mr. Ollenton.
32:45You're afraid that women might start to ask some awkward questions.
32:49Questions we ask ourselves when we look at our sons.
32:52What's the use of all your seeking, all your achieving, your competing,
32:58when we know, we know from our babies at our breasts,
33:03that it's love and tenderness that are the most precious of God's gifts?
33:09I think you feel threatened by our having the vote.
33:12I think you feel threatened by the prospect of our being your equals.
33:17I haven't met a woman yet who was my equal.
33:21Haven't you?
33:23Then you've missed a terrible lot, Mr. Ollenton.
33:26We can be quite interesting and stimulating in every way.
33:30And so say all of us.
33:33I think we should discuss the events of Sunday night
33:35and listen to Mr. Ollenton's instructions.
33:38That is, if your wife still wants to hear them,

39:16the future of the future of the future of the future of the future of the future of the future

40:29All right, madam!
40:31What on earth do you think you're doing, man?
40:34Take your hands off me!
40:36All right, madam.
40:36If you don't give us any trouble, we won't give you any.
40:38Who are you?
40:39Detective Inspector Woods.
40:41They have orders to take you into custody, Mrs Foster Jones.
40:43Don't be silly!
40:45I'm not Mrs Foster Jones!
40:46What's going on?
40:47Richard, this man's trying to accost me.
40:49He says he's a policeman.
40:50You can clear off now!
40:51Miss Blaine is a friend of mine.
40:53We're on the same variety bill at Leeds Empire this week.
40:55I must say, Inspector, you're not very fluttery if you can't tell the difference between me and Mrs Foster Jones.
41:00She's years older.
41:02I'm an actress, a present playing in a sketch with Tommy Beamish, the comedian.
41:06You must come and see it.
41:09You're right.
41:10I've seen you.
41:11Where the coat?
41:12Bought yesterday.
41:13Do you like it?
41:14Isn't it gorgeous?
41:16Quickly, Sergeant.
41:17He'll be here!
41:18Come on!
41:20Move!
41:22Move!
41:22Come on!
41:27Come on!
41:29Come on!
41:31You're right.
41:32Open the door.
41:35I'm sitting in now.
41:38Thank you very much, Officer.
41:44Goodbye dear little old lady
41:45Bon voyage darling
41:48Thank you Mr. Hunt
41:50You know I would have trusted you with my life
41:55Uncle Nick had pulled it off with his usual efficiency and style
41:58And I had accidentally moved closer to Julie Blaine
42:13What are you doing dear?
42:14Come on
42:17Where are you going with us?
42:34And look what real sensation
42:38You wish it would never stop
42:41But down you slide on the other side
42:45With a flip-flap flop
42:49Take me on a flip-flap
42:53Do dear do
42:55It looks so lovely down below
42:59So you pay your money and up you go
43:03And look what real sensation
43:06You wish it would never stop
43:09But down you slide on the other side
43:14With a flip-flap flop
43:30Don't pay for damage and up you slap it Johnny
43:36And look what realвигρα you have to do
43:39There's a feeling of woman
43:41And look what real="#
47:21I didn't take your advice.
47:23Nobody could've stopped me behaving like a young idiot.
47:26I was a sour vat of anger, bitterness and stupidity.
47:42Oh, Richard.
47:43I've just been thinking about our day on the moors.
47:45I'd like to go back in the spring or summer sometime.
47:47I just heard you're leaving.
47:50Going into a pantomime.
47:51Yes, Plymouth.
47:52I'm playing Cinderella and Susie's the fairy godmother.
47:55You sound very happy about it.
47:57Well, I am.
47:59Panto's more fun.
48:00You're in a company and you can get settled without having to move every week.
48:03I must say, for someone who pretends not to like being on stage,
48:05I can't say a panto should be more fun.
48:07You'd be showing even more leg every afternoon and evening.
48:09Oh, stop it, Richard.
48:11And I also had this strange idea we were friends.
48:13I wish you could hear yourself.
48:15Oh, I'm hearing myself.
48:16And I know if I were leaving, I'd be sorry and not sound so bloody happy about it.
48:20Oh, go and swear at somebody else.
48:21Good night.
48:23Good night.
48:26Good night.
48:27Good night.
48:32Bye.
48:49If I'd had any sense, I'd have gone looking for her and we'd have done some real arguing
48:52and then made it up.
48:54But I wasn't going to make the first move and neither was she.
48:58What I didn't understand was what it would be like when she really had gone.
49:03Well, she was still close at hand around any corner.
49:05The quarrel was like a kind of idiot game I was playing.
49:09But as soon as she was 300 miles away, there was a great blank in the pattern of my life,
49:14quite impossible to ignore.
49:16Until the whole pattern changed, leaving her out of it.
49:20Then I changed with it.
49:23Then I changed with it.
49:23First in anger, then despair.
49:26And after that, of course, I wasn't quite the same chap.
49:28Well, I don't know.
