05:00Going to the leader man, ragging leader man
05:03Oh my honey, oh my honey
05:05Let me take you to Alexander's Grandstand
05:09Grandstand Band, ain't you coming alone?
05:12Come on here, come on here
05:15Alexander's Ragtime Band
05:16Come on here, come on here
05:19They're the best band in the land
05:21They can play a bugle call like you never heard before
05:26That's just the bestest band, what am I?
05:29Oh honey, come on along, come on along
05:32Let me take you by the hand
05:35Up to the man, up to the man
05:37Who's the leader of the band
05:39And if you can't, you'll hear the Swanee River
05:42Playing in Ragtime
05:47Come on here, come on here
05:49Come on here, come on here
05:51Alexander's Ragtime Band
06:13He's here again, that policeman
06:15Sitting there like a frog
06:17He's beginning to put me off
06:18You can feel his eyes on you all the time you're on the stage
06:22Nobody interferes with my act, Doris
06:23Not even the Kaiser
06:25Just forget him and concentrate on what you're doing
06:28It'll be better than anything he's ever done in his life
06:31Yes, Mr. Olton
06:33You feeling all right, Barney?
06:36Eyes and ears, Mr. Tubey
06:37Eyes and ears, Mr. Olton
07:03Cheer up, Richard, for God's sake
07:06I told you I wasn't feeling very cheerful
07:11Nobody in the company is
07:14Except maybe Uncle Nick
07:17Still he's a law run to himself
07:19That's what parties are for
07:20To make you cheerful
07:23Is that why theatricals always seem to be having parties?
07:26Absolutely, have you only just realised it?
07:28You should have Peggy
07:34Can I sit next to you?
07:37I will, anyway
07:41What's the matter, Dickie boy?
07:43You know what's the matter?
07:46It's probably Blackpool, too
07:49It's too cheerful by half
07:50It's a fake
07:52You're a temperamental artist
07:54That's what you are
07:57Isn't it, Peggy?
08:00I'm not temperamental
08:02I'm very predictable
08:05Do you know what a chap once called me?
08:08His little Skylark
08:10Because I was always so happy
08:16Peggy's temperamental
08:18Aren't you?
08:20Am I?
08:21And she doesn't like life
08:24What's the good of that?
08:27Life's what we've got
08:35I'll show you how sweet life can be
08:59I'm sorry it wasn't very good
09:01It wasn't your fault
09:30Why don't you like life, Peggy?
09:33I've tried it
09:35You're only, what, 22, 23
09:37Can't have tried much
09:39Enough to know what's left will probably be repetition
09:42That's not a very happy prospect
09:45You've got to hope it's going to improve
09:47I'm not very good at hoping
09:53What about getting married?
09:55What's that?
09:57You've got a girl on your mind, haven't you?
10:01How did you know?
10:03You're too nice not to have
10:06I did have
10:09It's over with
10:11Will you take me dancing?
10:13Dancing?
10:15I'm not a very good dancer
10:17I'd just like you to take me dancing
10:21All right
10:24There's something, oh I don't know
10:27Innocent about dancing
10:30Littledim
10:33What do you think?
10:44Well,hoo
10:50You're
10:51You're
10:52You're
10:52Three
10:52You're
10:52Yeah
10:52You're
10:55You're
10:57You're
11:30You're a very good dancer.
11:33You're a very good teacher.
11:36No, you were right what you said about dancing.
11:39This kind, anyway, it's...
11:40Like I said, it's innocent.
11:43Yes, it is.
11:56There might be a Brinkley.
11:57There's Stratton and Mackay in there,
12:00keeping nice time, Mr. Owencastle.
12:02And who might Brinkley Stratton and Mackay be?
12:04Murderers, Mr. Owencastle.
12:06Some of the few we've caught.
12:09I don't know this lady, do I?
12:11Er, Peggy Canford.
12:13Inspector Crabb.
12:15Peggy's not with us.
12:16She's with a concert party on Central Pier.
12:17Howdy-do.
12:18Howdy-do.
12:19Best off out of it at the moment, isn't she, Mr. Owencastle?
12:28Are you a detective, Miss Canford?
12:30I hope not.
12:31Most women are.
12:32They notice more than men do.
12:34They're detectives by instinct.
12:37I've traced Sissy Mapes, Mr. Owencastle.
12:39I haven't heard a word with her.
12:41Oh, where is she?
12:43London.
12:43Where else do you expect her to be?
12:45I thought she might have noticed something
12:46while she was working with you and Mr. Ollinton.
12:49About the murder?
12:51Frightened poor Sissy, I'll tell you that.
12:53I see you call her poor Sissy.
12:55You're right to do.
12:56I'd say she'll be on the street, surely.
12:58The next time I see her,
12:59she'll be in a back bedroom, Paddington Way,
13:01with her throat cut.
13:02I'm fond of Sissy.
13:04You shut up about her.
13:05A nasty, brutal chap, eh?
13:08I don't want Sissy Mapes to go on the street.
13:10Though I'm not her friend.
13:11You are, right?
13:13But what will you do to make sure she doesn't go on the street?
13:14I'll tell you, my boy.
13:15Not a bloody thing.
13:17Not you.
13:17Not your uncle, who used her and then stopped using her.
13:21And then as Nonnie Colmar, a lively girl,
13:23just being silly as lively girls are,
13:25she suddenly finds someone's fingers around her throat
13:27and ends up as a piece of meat.
13:29As I said, Mr. Earncastle,
13:31there are tigers loose.
13:32I live with that knowledge day and night.
13:37Pleased to meet you, Miss Camford.
13:41I don't think I'll be offended you much longer, Mr. Earncastle.
13:50Will you take me back for the digs, Richard?
14:20Hey, we're looking everywhere for you.
14:22Where have you been?
14:23Me and the boys went for a run in the car.
14:25We went faster and faster.
14:27Yes, it was a splendid experience.
14:28Thank you once again, Mr. Alton.
14:31Uncle.
14:33I'm going to have a word with you in private.
14:36You're getting as bad as that chap.
14:37Crowd with your mysteries and secrets.
14:39We'll have to humour in, boys.
14:40Off you go.
14:42Keep up the good work, Mr. Tubey.
14:44You can rely on me, Mr. Alton.
14:48Talk about me having secrets.
14:49What are you up to with Tubey?
14:52He's just noting and learning while he finds his feet.
14:54Barney seems to be behaving a lot better,
14:56not as agitated.
14:58And I thought...
14:59What?
15:01He must be high on the list of Crabb's suspects.
15:04I thought we all were, according to you.
15:07Perhaps Barney's behaving better because he's found a friend.
15:11Well, that's another thing.
15:12I expected Barney to be jealous of Tubey.
15:14I thought they'd be at each other's throats.
15:17Seems you were wrong about everything, doesn't it?
15:19Never mind, lad.
15:20Perhaps you get smarter as you get older.
15:23I hope so.
15:26Well, anyway.
15:28All I wanted to tell you was that, uh...
15:31Crabb says he's not going to be around much longer.
15:37Crabb says he's not going to be around much longer.
15:37When did he say that?
15:39This afternoon.
15:44Did he say anything else?
15:46No.
15:47I got the impression something's up.
15:50Well, you're right about something.
15:52Calling the harp.
15:54There's the harp.
16:35I can't see him. He's not in his usual seat.
16:37I'm sure he's up to something.
16:38Did you see those two coppers at the stage door when we came in tonight?
16:41They thought they were being inconspicuous, but they stood out like big drums.
16:45They weren't there when I came in.
16:46Well, they were when I did, but still, so long as Crab isn't spying on us from out there...
16:49You won't be far away.
20:17Mr.
21:11Now, Anthony, I talked about the
21:11giant jet woman.
21:12That was just a game.
21:16No.
21:18I couldn't let you get involved.
21:23Why did you take the risk?
21:25You did kill Narni.
21:28Oh, poor, tormented, little sod.
21:32He isn't a murderer.
21:34He didn't want to kill her.
21:36She deliberately excited him and then laughed in his face telling him he wasn't a man.
21:41Before he knew what he was doing, he had his hands around her neck.
21:46He won't do it to anybody else.
21:49He's not a killer.
21:50Just an excitable, silly little man
21:53who had the bad luck to get entangled with a stupid, cruel teaser.
21:58I couldn't let them arrest him,
22:00get some lawyer to turn him into a monster,
22:03until in the end they dragged him kicking and screaming to the hangman.
22:09Who are they to do that to anybody?
22:22The New World.
22:24That's what they call it, don't they?
22:26I wonder if it's any different to this.
22:30It'd be a miracle if it were.
22:48The New World
22:49The New World
22:49The New World
22:49The outbreak of war came sooner than even I expected.
22:52The effect on most people was unbelievable.
22:55Or so it seemed to me.
22:57It was as if a never-ending national holiday had been declared instead of a world war.
23:03People were swept up in a torrent of patriotic fervour
23:06which drowned the sound of the guns already booming in Belgium.
23:11And there was no doubt at all in their minds who would win.
23:15The New World
23:18The New World
23:21The New World
25:57We'll find ourselves in the madhouse soon.
26:00They see it all like a free trip to Margate, a brand new bit of excitement.
26:04They'll display their patriotism by stoning German bands and looting pork butchers for free sausages.
26:10It's a nasty kind of excitement.
26:11I can feel it in the audience.
26:13Oh, never to have let Joe Bosenby talk me into this, Dick.
26:17I ought to be having a nice holiday somewhere.
26:20Then I don't know a woman I'd like to take.
26:22I'll find one for you, Uncle.
26:23Oh, you're too optimistic, lad.
26:26About what's going to happen, I mean.
26:28No one's going to be able to take a holiday, not for a very long time.
26:33German placing position.
26:3620 apiece, only a 20.
26:38520.
26:3820 apiece, roll that.
26:563 cheers for the red, white and blue.
26:58What side are you on?
27:04No, that's not what I mean, lad.
27:06But just wait a week or two.
27:07I'll explain exactly how I feel about this war business we got ourselves into.
27:39The warm August sunshine added to the holiday atmosphere.
27:44The soldiers were all brave, handsome heroes.
27:49They had yet to turn into corpses.
27:51The sun, the air, the floor, the encore of the soldiers.
27:58The sun, the earth, the earth.
28:07The sun, the air, the air.
28:13The sea hop, the sand.
28:15The sea hop.
28:16The sand.
28:18The sea hop.
28:20Theullerock dieses.
28:21Thank you very much.
28:51Cover here.
29:05I've been looking for you.
29:06What's happened?
29:08I'll explain after the second house tonight.
29:10I want you all there.
29:12What's the latest non-gallant little Belgium?
29:15Must be a lot different from the Belgium I know.
29:19Tell the others I want two bang-slap-splendiferous performances tonight.
29:25I have good reasons.
29:53I have good reasons.
29:56I have good reasons.
30:23I have good reasons.
30:26I have good reasons.
30:43Gather round, everyone.
30:46Take a glass of this.
30:49Sam, Ben, you two rather have a couple of pints of tetanus strong ale, I know,
30:54but you'll have to put up with my tipple for once.
30:57Good health to you all, and thanks for a great last performance.
31:01What? How do you mean last?
31:04I'll explain in a minute.
31:06First, let's take one of these.
31:09There's two weeks' wages there.
31:12As soon as you've heard what I have to say,
31:15Sam and Ben and you, Tubi, had better start packing up.
31:19Everything's to go early tomorrow morning to a London warehouse
31:22ready for when I sail for America.
31:25What do you mean, America?
31:28Why?
31:30Because I don't like this war.
31:33I don't believe in it.
31:35I think it should never have happened.
31:37And what about us?
31:38I was coming to that.
31:40At a time like this?
31:41Bad time to be out of work, Doris.
31:43I should say so.
31:44Not at all, not at all.
31:46Kitchener's asking for 100,000 men.
31:48And he'll get them.
31:49And another 100,000, and another.
31:52They've already called in the regular reserves and territorials.
31:55In a few months' time, they'll be desperately short of men.
31:57Sam and Ben, you're mechanics.
31:59And Doris, you'll be working on munitions, something like that.
32:03You'll all be earning three times more than I can pay you.
32:06What about me, Mr. Alton?
32:08Things were bad enough before I took this engagement.
32:11You too, Tubi.
32:12You'll be all right.
32:13I'm not leaving you in the lurch.
32:16But I am leaving you.
32:19So, Richard, fill up the glasses.
32:24Well, I don't agree with Mr. Alton.
32:26I think Mr. Asquith is a man of peace,
32:28who'd never let us get into a European war.
32:31It seems to me I'm crying half the time now.
32:34It must be a softening of the brain.
32:36Remember me to ask you, Doris.
32:37Of course I do.
32:39And you see, you find yourself a nice girl.
32:41Not that that'll be easy,
32:43because most of them now just aren't worth the house rule.
32:46They are little sluts.
33:10I left you out of that talk on stage.
33:15You realize why?
33:20I want you to come with me.
33:23I have a 40-week contract lined up,
33:25followed by a season at the Palace, New York.
33:28It'll be hard work on the road.
33:29Longer hours, longer journeys.
33:31But it'll be a great experience.
33:34It really is a new world, Richard.
33:37Oh, I don't say it's perfect.
33:39There's plenty to find fault with.
33:40But it'll grow and grow, get better and better.
33:45While Europe's busy cutting its own throat.
33:51We'll be sailing on the Lusitania in about ten days' time.
33:55I'm sorry, Uncle.
33:56I'm enlisting.
33:58You're what?
34:01Enlisting.
34:03Joining Kitchener's new army.
34:06Army?
34:08Why should you join any bloody army?
34:11I've already given you a dozen good reasons why you shouldn't.
34:14Just you give me one why you should.
34:17It's hard to explain.
34:19It's impossible to explain!
34:20Unless you're going up the pole, bar me!
34:25Well, go on, lad.
34:26You must have something to say for yourself.
34:31I don't want to be a soldier.
34:34I wish there wasn't a war.
34:37I don't feel particularly patriotic.
34:39All this king and country stuff and flag waving doesn't make me want to cheer.
34:43I should hope not.
34:44A lot of dog shit.
34:46I know, though, that if I went, I'd be miserable.
34:50I'd never be able to take my mind off it.
34:52I'd feel I'd run away.
34:55It's different for you.
34:56And look, I'm not blaming you for going.
34:59Thank you very much, lad.
35:00Very good of you, I'm sure.
35:03But I'm a young man, and I live here.
35:07And I just feel that I ought to take my chance as so many others are.
35:12Right.
35:13Now I'll talk.
35:15What you really believe is what all those other silly buggers believe.
35:18That it's going to be a kind of picnic.
35:21That after a few months of flag waving, cheering and marching,
35:24Germany will be done for, and you'll all be back home, heroes with medals all over your chest.
35:28No, I don't...
35:29Just listen to me, boy!
35:30Get this into your head.
35:32I'm not like all those other people.
35:34I've been to Germany.
35:36I've played Berlin, Hamburg, Munich, Frankfurt.
35:39I've kept my eyes and ears open.
35:40I know the Germans.
35:41They've built up a military machine that'll make you lot look like tin soldiers.
35:45This war isn't going to last a few months.
35:47It'll last years and years.
35:49You're asking to be put in a bloody mixing machine, lad.
35:56That old Indian was right.
35:59We're in for the biggest bloody massacre of all time.
36:01And you can't even wait for them to fetch you!
36:19I haven't treated you badly, have I, lad?
36:25I won't.
36:29I want to have you with me over there.
36:34I'm sorry, uncle.
36:40Go to buggery, then.
37:03You can always telephone Joe Bosonby if you change your mind.
37:07Thanks, but I won't be doing that.
37:09Please, sir.
37:37Just as he had driven into my life, Uncle Nick drove out of it.
37:42I never saw him again.
37:44I had worked on the stage with him for only a few brief months.
37:48But I had enough vivid memories to last me a lifetime.
37:52He'd kept his promise.
37:54He had shown me the big, wide world.
37:57He'd let me enjoy it and make some bitter mistakes.
38:01But the boy from the Dales had become a man, which I'm sure he knew all along would happen.
38:07And I hope it gave him some pleasure.
38:09I would never forget my uncle, Gengadon.
38:40It's all right, it's all right now
38:44You don't need to worry anymore
38:48Who said the army wasn't strong
38:51I wish to prove them wrong
38:53On the day they gave it up
38:55So let the world flee and shout
38:58Hooray!
39:00We don't show the fucking how to fight
39:04I joined the army yesterday
39:07So the army of today is all right
39:10In token whereof
39:12I accept one shilling
39:16Sign here please
39:21Good luck Briggs
39:24Raise your right hand
39:25Take the book
39:26I swear by almighty God
39:29I swear by almighty God
39:30I will be faithful and their true allegiance to the majesty of the king

46:06MY HONEY HONEY SUCKLE
46:10I AM THE BEE
46:14DEAR
46:15NANCY
46:17IF YOU'VE EVER SENT ANY REPLIES TO MY LETTERS
46:21I'VE NEVER HAD THEM
46:25I SHAN'T WRITE AGAIN AFTER THIS
46:28BUT IT WOULDN'T HURT TO SEND ME A LINE
46:32EVEN A POSTCARD
46:35TO TELL ME YOU ARE NOT INTERESTED
46:40THEN PERHAPS I COULD STOP THINKING ABOUT YOU
47:05YOU ARE NOT INTERESTED
47:12THOUGH
47:12SINCE
47:12YOU ARE NOT INTERESTED
47:32It wasn't a dream.
47:35I had seen it.
47:37And there was the proof.
48:10I clung to her for dear life.
48:13Because that's what she was to me.
48:16Part of me still suspected she might dissolve in my arms and become that ghost again.
48:21Like so many of the others were.
48:37Julie Blaine was eventually to return from South Africa, to work where she belonged on the West End stage.
48:47Sissy Mapes.
48:49She was last heard of courting an army sergeant and looking very well on it.
48:57And, of course, Uncle Nick, still in America, making pots of money, which he always really preferred to people.
49:08And I had my Nancy at last.
49:12And I intended to keep her.
