00:10Oh
00:37What's in the glass?
00:38Want to see?
00:40Got another apple?
00:47Oh, what's his name?
00:50Her name is Alice.
00:55Our next school outing will be a visit to the Tower of London.
00:59Date, Thursday, March the 23rd.
01:02Starting boy at the school.
01:04Tower of London.
01:05How about it, Alice?
01:06Does she eat grass?
01:07Don't be silly, she eats mouse.
01:09Hang on a minute.
01:10Come on, I want to see the crown jewels.
01:16Sight of scaffold.
01:19That's where they cut off their heads.
01:21You know, they used to make pets out of the mice.
01:24In the dungeons.
01:26Bloody tower.
01:28Might be to kill me.
01:30I have a...
01:31Hey, look at this!
01:32Come along, you'll hurry.
01:35Now, does anyone know the legend of the Tower of Ravens?
01:40Ah, Monroe.
01:41If the Tower loses its ravens, it will fall.
01:44Right.
01:48Hey, look at this!
01:50Oh, come along, you'll hurry.
01:53I've lost Alice!
01:54Where?
01:55Hold it!
02:0018, 19...
02:02Come on, Monroe, what are you waiting for?
02:0620.
02:07There's somebody missing.
02:09John Saunders, sir.
02:10Run back, Monroe, and see if you can find him.
02:12Yes, sir.
02:13Those days were so romantic.
02:15Yeah, but imagine getting Henry into that in the Battle of Agincourt.
02:19Alice!
02:20Alice!
02:22He's asking for you.
02:24Tell him you couldn't find him.
02:25And when they start looking for you,
02:27Teacher can't go home with one of his boys missing.
02:29And I can't go home with Alice missing.
02:31Why not tell him the truth?
02:33You know that's never any good.
02:35Let's consider the facts.
02:37Point one.
02:38Teacher brought 21 boys.
02:39Can't leave with 20, right?
02:41Point two.
02:42You can't tell him you've lost Alice, right?
02:45So the logical thing to do is leave with us now
02:47and come back later, right?
02:50They close at five.
02:52Come back tomorrow, then, after school.
02:54Tomorrow, Alice will be here.
02:56She can't get out.
02:57Nobody can get out of the Tower.
02:58Sir Thomas More couldn't.
02:59Neither could Anne Boleyn.
03:01Nor could Lady Jane Grey.
03:02Now, this is Lady Jane's bedroom.
03:04This is where she spent her last night.
03:06That's the dress that she wore.
03:08Finest Venetian broquet.
03:10Finest Venetian broquet.
03:11She wore all her jewellery.
03:13These rings, those bracelets.
03:15Now, don't touch, please, madam.
03:16And her hair, it was tied up with a silk scarf.
03:20Here!
03:21Where's Lady Jane's scarf gone?
03:45Where's Lady Jane?
03:49Where's Lady Jane?

12:39Hello, Mrs Pryce?
12:41Oh!
12:42Oh!
13:00Do stop that dog barking.
13:03Mom!
13:03Uh!
13:04Uh!
13:06John!
13:08What's the matter with you?
13:10Are you ill?
13:11No, I'm just yellow.
13:13Well, what sort of mischief have you got into?
13:16I don't know.
13:17Your father will be very cross.
13:20Now, let me see!
13:21Oh, darling, you've got it all over you!
13:25Did you fall into a barrel of yellow paint?
13:28No, I didn't!
13:29Did somebody push you?
13:30No, it happened!
13:31No, no, no!
13:32Oh!
13:33What is it?
13:34You're bleeding yellow!
13:40Oh, it didn't hurt.
13:44Now, do you mind if I...
13:47Can I snip a bit off one of your nails?
13:52Give it your hand.
13:56Yes, I've seen...
13:59...yellow nails before.
14:01Cigarette smokers have, um, nicotine.
14:04To smoke, John?
14:07Yes, I'd call that dirty yellow.
14:12Well, Mrs. Sanders, I can't see anything wrong with him.
14:15Heart, lungs, sight, reflexes, all fine.
14:20Oh, my husband.
14:22We're in John's den, Ted!
14:24Dr. Ward's with us.
14:25I've never seen anything like it.
14:28You make medical history, my lad.
14:30May I get up now?
14:32Yes.
14:32No!
14:33Oh, please, I must feed Father Christmas.
14:35Father who?
14:36Couldn't he have got it from his mice, Dr. Ward?
14:39I've only got one mouse, Mother.
14:43Hello, Duff.
14:44Good evening.
14:45Now, let's have a look at you.
14:47Well, here's a picture of health, your son.
14:49A rather discoloured picture.
14:52But unique.
14:53Except for the girl in the train, Dad.
14:56There was a girl in the tube.
14:58She turned yellow, too.
14:59Well, up to 4pm, 68 people are reported to have turned yellow.
15:03May I have a look?
15:07Yellow plague hits London.
15:09Wow.
15:11How does it feel, John?
15:12Fine.
15:13May I get up now?
15:14Dr. Ward says I may.
15:15Even the traffic lights.
15:17There's a diversion at Havistock Hill.
15:19What's it mean, Ted?
15:21Nobody knows.
15:22Is there anything we ought to do, Doc?
15:23We'll have to wait and see.
15:25The Ministry of Health will probably issue some instructions.
15:28I see there's to be a television programme on it tonight.
15:30May I stay up and watch it, Dad?
15:32No, darling.
15:33It's better for you to rest.
15:34I'm not tired.
15:37We have, this evening, three experts
15:40on scientific matters.
15:44Excuse me.
15:49I've just heard that the number of people affected by this extraordinary business has reached 406.
15:55407, counting me?
15:57Nothing to be cocky about.
15:58They're all well and appear to have no ill effects from this extraordinary happening.
16:05I've asked our cartographer to point on the map.
16:07Our what?
16:08Cartographer?
16:09Mapmaker.
16:10As you see, all these dots happen to be inside a circle.
16:14You see a yellow circle of about 310 yards radius.
16:18I shall ask now some of our experts for a few observations.
16:21I'm told we've got pictures of some oddities, people and objects from the perimeter of this circle.
16:27Mum!
16:27A perimeter is the outline of the circle.
16:31Isn't it, Ted?
16:33Look, he's pointing it out.
16:34I'm hungry.
16:36Oh, you can't be, John.
16:37You've had your dinner.
16:39And you've gobbled up all the cheese biscuits.
16:42Oh, for heaven's sake, what have you got there?
16:45Only Father Christmas.
16:46Ted!
16:46I'm so lonely without his wife.
16:49Get him to put that mouse back in its box!
16:51Do what Mummy says, John.
16:53You'd be lonely without Mum, wouldn't you?
16:55Don't argue, John.
16:59Okay.
16:59This was a rather strange way of expressing them.
17:02In Hampstead, and I can say this because I come from Hampstead myself.
17:10It won't be long.
17:13Here, have some cheese straw crumbs.
17:18You love cheese straw crumbs.
17:20You know you do.
17:24There.
17:27Now, go to sleep.
17:32Good night.
17:36It's a singularly unlikely event that you could have pigmentation taking place in an area of 600 yards in diameter,
17:44120 feet below the surface of the Earth, in the light of the supernatural quality of, uh, these fantastic happenings.
17:53I would submit the only thing we can think of is the most impossible cause of all.
17:57Namely, it's an extraterrestrial event.
17:59Extra what?
18:02Dad?
18:02What is terror?
18:06Earth?
18:07Extra?
18:09Extra is extra.
18:10Well, it can mean outside of.
18:12So, extraterrestrial is outside of our Earth.
18:15Well, what is the purpose, Doctor?
18:16Space?
18:17Listen.
18:18A target, perhaps.
18:19A target for what?
18:20A landing site?
18:22Perhaps.
18:22Gosh!
18:23I hope no one's gonna land on top of me.
18:32Mr. Saunders.
18:35Mr. John Saunders.
18:47I'm starving, Mr. Saunders.
18:54Did you call Father Christmas?
18:57Hurry up, Mr. Saunders.
18:59I can't wait all night.
19:02Mr. Saunders.
19:06Hurry up, Mr. Saunders.
19:08I can't wait all night.
19:21Mr. John Saunders.
19:25I can't wait all night.
19:41I'm starving, Mr. Saunders.
19:50I'm starving, Mr. Saunders.
19:57Is anybody there?
19:59You don't ask any questions, Mr. Saunders.
20:01I'm starving.
20:07Where are you?
20:11I can't see you.
20:13In the television, of course.
20:15I'm starving.
20:24Behind it?
20:25In the set.
20:27In the set, ma'am.
20:27Inside of it.
20:30What are you waiting for?
20:31Do you want me to starve to death?
20:33Switch it on.
20:35Dad says I'm not supposed to touch the television.
20:38It's dangerous.
20:39Turn that now.
20:53And press the second button.
21:01Good boy.
21:03Gosh!
21:03Oh, I'm sorry, Mr. Saunders.
21:06I've been travelling all night.
21:12The name is Nick.
21:14Comes from electronic.
21:17I apologise for repeating myself.
21:19I'm absolutely famished.
21:21My supplies are almost exhausted.
21:24Would a drumstick do?
21:26What stick?
21:27A drumstick.
21:28You know, a leg of chicken.
21:30Mr. Saunders, we're not cannibals.
21:34Vegetar-t-t-t-tarians?
21:36Not vegetarians either, Mr. Saunders.
21:39We live on electricity.
21:40What's your voltage in London?
21:43I'm afraid I don't know.
21:52Oh, good. 240 volts.
21:54It's my favourite dish.
21:56May I?
21:57Be my guest.
22:08Don't do that, you'll get a shock.
22:10You will get a shock.
22:11I shall get my drumstick.
22:26Don't do that, you'll get a shock.
22:27You will get a shock.
22:27I shall get my drumstick.
22:31Oh, it's marvellous.
22:34I must find out where they make it.
22:36Where's your nearest power station, Mr. Saunders?
22:39Call me John.
22:40John.
22:43It's delicious.
22:44I've never tasted better.
22:47I don't know where they make it.
22:48You'd have to ask Munro that.
22:50Who's Munro?
22:51He knows all about electricity.
22:54He knows almost everything.
22:56Is he yellow?
22:58What do you mean?
22:59You're yellow. That makes you a friend of mine.
23:01We're united under the same colour as the saying goes.
23:05Is he?
23:06I don't know.
23:07I wasn't with him at the time.
23:08Well, we can find a power station without Munro.
23:10I've got a nose for it.
23:13Ah!
23:14That's better.
23:20Why not come with me?
23:22They'll miss me.
23:23No one will miss you.
23:24No one will even know.
23:25It'll only take a moment.
23:26We shall be travelling by electricity very fast.
23:29The speed of light.
23:29Very good.
23:31Except...
23:32Forgive me for correcting you, Mr...
23:34Er...
23:34John.
23:35We don't say electricity travels with the speed of light.
23:38We say light travels with the speed of electricity.
23:41Get it?
23:42What's the difference?
23:44I like your way of talking American, John.
23:47Who's talking American?
23:48Aren't you?
23:49I'm talking English.
23:51The Americans speak English.
23:53What's the difference?
23:57Sorry, John.
23:58Anyway, the thing is, we'll be travelling fast.
24:01186,000 miles in a second.
24:04I say.
24:07Well, I'm quite full.
24:11Well, are you coming?
24:13How?
24:15Up and down on the waves of electricity like skiing.
24:19I'm no good at skiing.
24:21I fall all over the place.
24:22You won't if you hold my hand.
24:23You won't even need skis.
24:24Float.
24:25You're joking.
24:26I haven't time to make jokes.
24:28All yellow people can float.
24:38I can! I can!
24:40There!
24:44Now, you see that television screen?
24:46It flickers, doesn't it?
24:48You'll see it better if you turn your head sideways.
24:50Now, you can slip inside between two flickers.
24:55Try it.
24:57You'll see it.
24:57Isn't it dangerous?
24:58Isn't it dangerous?
24:58It would be if I went with you.
24:59You must never do it on your own.
25:01Promise.
25:02Okay.
25:05Off you go.
25:07I'll break the glass.
25:08Now, you're being plain silly, John.
25:10You're diving into an electric current, not into glass.
25:12You won't even touch the glass.
25:14Now, one, two, three, go!
25:18I'm doing it!
25:20I'm coming!
25:29Here we are.
25:31Generating plant.
25:32You call it a power station.
25:34Already?
25:36You stay here while I look around.
25:38Can't you see us?
25:40No.
25:41He can't hear us either!
25:45Once outside the screen, he could see and hear you.
25:47Not me, though.
25:49Well, pas tout à l'heure.
25:51That's French for see you soon.
25:53I know.
25:54How come?
25:55Well, we went to France.
25:56Fantastic food.
25:58What voltage?
25:59Something I like called omelettes.
26:00They're yellow.
26:01Fish omelettes.
26:02Electric fish?
26:03I don't think so.
26:05Normal.
26:06Oh.
26:06Well, you stay here, and don't fall out.
26:10No!
26:18Ridiculous.
26:19Very old-fashioned.
26:22Stable I can generate.
26:24Throw the switches.
26:43Sorry, John.
26:44It's no good.
26:45The quality is fine.
26:47It's the quantity that's wrong.
26:49Pardon?
26:50There isn't enough.
26:51We need a great deal of the stuff.
26:52I don't know how you people manage.
26:54Don't you have electricity cuts?
26:55In the winter.
26:57Or when we have a strike.
26:58Oh.
26:59Well, shall we go?
27:00Where to?
27:01Home.
27:02Your home.
27:03Unless there's somewhere else you'd rather go.
27:04Can we?
27:05Anywhere.
27:06To the tower.
27:07What kind of tower?
27:08The Tower of London.
27:09It's a castle, really.
27:11It's where the crown jewels are kept.
27:12It's very old.
27:13Has it got electricity?
27:15I think so.
27:15In some parts.
27:16Oh.
27:17Doesn't sound like my cup of kilowatts.
27:19Couldn't we go somewhere else instead?
27:21No.
27:21I must go there.
27:22I must find Alice.
27:24Alice?
27:25Oh.
27:26All right.
27:27Can we take Father Christmas?
27:28Who's he?
27:29Her husband.
27:29Is he yellow?
27:31No.
27:31He's white.
27:32He's a mouse.
27:33Oh.
27:34Well, that's different.
27:35Why didn't you say so?
27:37Where do we pick him up?
27:38My house.
27:38All right then.
27:39Let's get along.
27:40Come on.
27:41Hang on.
27:43Have a stop.
27:45We'll...
27:49We forgot to switch it off.
27:50We did not.
27:51If anybody had switched...
27:53Shhh.
27:55You'll wake up my mother.
27:56She can't hear me either.
28:00If anyone had switched it off, you wouldn't have got through the screen.
28:03Or come back.
28:04My mother's a very light sleeper.
28:06She can't hear me.
28:08Only yellow people can.
28:11Oh.
28:24Can you get up the stairs in those?
28:26I can, but I don't think I will.
28:29Help me with them, John.
28:32Pleasure.
28:37Follow me.
28:38Huh.
28:46Nice room.
28:47I liked it the first time I saw it.
28:51You've been here before?
28:52Oh, yes.
28:53When?
28:54When I landed, I had to check on all the people who turned yellow.
28:57That's the rule.
28:58Whatever for?
29:00To find a chap we could trust.
29:02Me?
29:03Undoubtedly.
29:05How did you find out?
29:06Easy.
29:07The others were just people who turned yellow.
29:10But you, who got a yellow pullover, and a yellow scarf, and a terrific yellow something.
29:25My top hat.
29:26I'm a supporter of Norwich City.
29:28Who's he?
29:29Norwich City, the football club.
29:31The Canaries.
29:32They're the only club in England to play in yellow.
29:35I've got a badge.
29:36Oh, and look at those pictures on the wall.
29:47Nick, meet Father Christmas.
29:49Father Christmas, meet Nick.
29:51A pleasure.
29:53The tower's a very big place, and Father Christmas can help us to find his wife.
29:58But, John, with my speed, I can scour round that tower of yours in a flash.
30:01No offence intended, Father, so long as they have electricity laid on.
30:06How will you know where to find her?
30:09She's obviously going to be hiding somewhere.
30:13In a bed.
30:14Behind a bookcase.
30:16Or even in a wall.
30:18I know Alice.
30:19But you're Papa Christmas.
30:21Father Christmas.
30:22Oh, of course.
30:23Father Christmas.
30:23Sorry, Dad.
30:25But, John, a mouse can't even open a door.
30:29Then we'll open the door for him.
30:31All he has to do is to smell the scent of his wife and lead us to her.
30:36I see.
30:37What a good idea.
30:41You're improving.
30:43Hold these a minute.
30:45Now, where's this tower of yours?
30:47The tower.
30:48You know, tower bridge.
30:49There's a tower hill tube station on the circle line.
30:53Oh, I've got it.
30:57Care to have a go?
31:00May I?
31:01Why not?
31:06Football!
31:15Offside cheat!
31:16This isn't the tower.
31:18We're in the tower.
31:20Now, can you see beyond the football game and beyond the screen of the television?
31:25There are people watching the football game.
31:27Four of them.
31:29Sort of uniform.
31:31Eating beef.
31:32Beef eaters.
31:34Good.
31:34Then we are in the tower.
31:35I must get rid of them.
31:36You don't want to be seen by them.
31:38How do I get through this?
31:40Same as through an empty screen.
31:42But you mustn't stop.
31:43Not for a single second.
31:44Now, I'll go ahead and get rid of the beef eaters.
31:46You count down from five and then slip outside.
31:50I'll be waiting.
31:52Go.
31:53Five.
31:54Four.
31:55Three.
31:56Hey!
31:57Penalty!
31:58Hey, you!
31:59Get out!
31:59Get this boy off the pitch!
32:01Stay put, John.
32:07Don't worry, John.
32:09I'll throw the switches.
32:11Hey, ref, I've got a mouse in my pants.
32:21Father Christmas, where are you?
32:24Don't you, John?
32:25I've lost Father Christmas.
32:27Here.
32:28I've got him.
32:31Thanks.
32:32Come on.
32:33This is more tricky than I thought.
32:36My fault.
32:36I shouldn't have left you.
32:38But I've fixed those beef eaters.
32:40What did you do about those?
32:41Set the alarm.
32:44Now, we just wait for it to go off.
32:49All right, then?
32:51I'll keep on hearing things, ref.
32:52What things?
32:53Father Christmas.
32:54Father Christmas.
32:58Father Christmas.
33:03Oh!
33:04Hey, that!
33:06Butterfingers!
33:08Alarm!
33:27Hey, Mr. Beef Eater.
33:29My friend needs that set switched on.
33:31He can't hear me.
33:33Can't see me, either.
33:43Well, that's funny.
33:44Yes, isn't it?
33:45Try some oil.
33:46Steady, old man.
33:49It's gone stiff.
33:56It's gone stiff.
33:57Now, let's see what that Daddy Christmas of yours can do.
34:01Father Christmas.
34:06Alice is here, Father Christmas.
34:08In this building.
34:10Find Alice, Father Christmas.
34:13Where is she?
34:26That way?
34:27Alice can't be that way.
34:29Why not?
34:30She can't be in the wall.
34:32Nor can she be in the window.
34:33My stomach holds the wall, you know.
34:35I've seen them doing it.
34:37Come on.
34:38Hmm-hmm.
34:40Changed his mind.
34:51Come on, Father Christmas.
34:53I know you can find Alice.
34:55Through the door.
34:59Up.
35:03Or...
35:05Down.
35:09Well?
35:10Make your mind up.
35:13Down.
35:16Come on, then.
35:26Guard at the double!
35:27The guards!
35:29Quick, get inside the gun.
35:34Come on.
35:34Come on.
35:43Well, what now?
35:45We find another building.
35:47You still think he can do it?
35:49Of course he can.
35:50Well, he wasn't so sure a moment ago.
35:52First he went this-a-way, then he went that-a-way,
35:54and look where we are now.
35:56He did that to show us that we were in the wrong building.
36:00What was that?
36:02Just some birds.
36:05Big black birds.
36:06The town ravens.
36:07It must be.
36:08They're paid.
36:09I don't believe it.
36:11It's true.
36:12Fifteen pence.
36:13An hour?
36:14A week.
36:15What are they expected to do for it?
36:17Nothing.
36:18Just stay there.
36:20Well, in that case, it's just about right.
36:22They're very important.
36:23You see, if the town loses its ravens, it'll fall.
36:28Who says so?
36:30Everybody.
36:32It's in the book.
36:35Well, now.
36:37Are we going to try that bloodhound of yours again?
36:42Come on.
36:43Let's show this doubting Thomas.
36:47Where Alice is, Father Christmas?
36:49The name's Nick.
36:50Cut!
36:52Up!
36:54Do your scissors, cover!
36:56All of the stars!
36:57Come on!
36:59Cut!
37:00Cut!
37:08Here?
37:10He says she's here.
37:13Me.
37:13I am using the way to tell.
37:23Talk to us later.
37:27Are we going to find out?
37:30Yes.
37:33Do your enemies.
37:34I'm using them.
37:34I am using them.
37:35You are using them.
37:36I am using them.
37:37You are using them.
37:38I am using them.
37:39I am using them.
37:40I am using them.
37:46Up!
37:48Well, you have a look up the chimney.
37:49You look under the bed.
37:50Right, I'll look under...
37:52No, there's nobody under the bed.
37:54Nothing up here.
37:55It says up.
38:02There's somebody downstairs.
38:04I can hear them.
38:05Yeah, they're coming.
38:06You'll get behind the door.
38:07Yeah, all right, I'll get behind.
38:08If you get the other side, they come up the stairs, we've got them.
38:11They come in here, we've got them.
38:14Look, a mouse!
38:15A mouse? There's a mouse!
38:16A mouse, help!
38:18Help!
38:20Murder! Help! A mouse!
38:22Get out of it!
38:24Help! There's a mouse! Murder!
38:27Murder!
38:28Take it away!
38:30Get out of it! Get out of it!
38:32Help! Help! Murder!
38:34Help! Help!
38:36Help!
38:37Come on, there's something on up here.
38:44Go ahead, Nick.
38:45I'll stay and defend the stairs.
38:47Right.
38:47Attack me if you dare.
38:49Right, come on, son.
38:50It's no use trying to fight this season.
38:53It's no use.
38:54Watch him!
38:55Well done, John.
38:57Keep him down now.
38:58Right, Nick. Take them.
39:00Good, Nick. Come on, keep it going.
39:02Come on.
39:03Look out.
39:04Now, look.
39:05Cut it out there, sir.
39:06Go on, John.
39:07Good boy.
39:08Come on.
39:09Back down here.
39:10Up!
39:12Up!
39:13I'm with you, John.
39:14Leave it to me.
39:16Up!
39:17Up!
39:17Don't worry, John.
39:18I've got him by the collar.
39:19Get up there!
39:20Watch him.
39:21Give us any little...
39:23Come on.
39:24Back down here.
39:25It's no use.
39:26Watch him.
39:27Go on!
39:28Go on!
39:29Watch him.
39:29Right.
39:30Cut it out there, son.
39:31I've told you.
39:32Well done, John.
39:33Keep him down now.
39:34Come on.
39:35Watch him now, son.
39:35Got you.
39:36Right now.
39:36He's going.
39:37He's watching me.
39:37He's watching me.
39:39Help me!
39:41Nick!
39:41Nick, help me!
39:44Nick!
39:46Help me!
39:47Nick!
39:50Where are you?
39:59Hey!
40:11All quiet.
40:12Not a mouse stirring.
40:14tiast cold?
40:15Yeah.
40:16Those ravens are making a noise tonight.
40:18No, that night.
40:22It's Nick, John.
40:24Are you alright?
40:26It's very dark in here.
40:28No talking.
40:30Won't take long, John.
40:31I've got just the right thing in my bundle to get you out of here. Look.
40:34Sorry, come on.
40:36If I can find something to stand on.
40:41Wait a minute. I've got my pencil torch.
40:43Quiet!
40:49Hello?
40:50How did you get here with no electricity?
40:52What's that thing in your hand?
40:54Oh.
40:55Well, what's the news?
40:57I was at your trial. It was very unfair.
41:00But don't get upset, John. I'll get you out of here.
41:03What's the sentence?
41:05Beheading.
41:06I thought so. Mum won't be very pleased.
41:09But don't blame her.
41:10No, Dad.
41:11My uncle's a solicitor. He'll sue them.
41:14Well, that won't help much after...
41:17But they reckoned without nick of electronic, didn't they?
41:20Now, you told me that when the tower loses its ravens, it will fall.
41:25Well, see this bundle?
41:26What's in it?
41:27The ravens. All of them.
41:30You see how it works?
41:31I dump the ravens somewhere in Africa or the North Pole.
41:35The tower falls to pieces and you're free.
41:41Is something wrong?
41:44It's only a legend.
41:46And mind you, put them back again.
41:48The tower may fall.
41:50It'll take ages. Maybe years.
41:53You think so?
41:55In the tower, they execute people at dawn.
41:58I'll go and wake your father.
41:59I'll be there before you can say Jack Beefeater.
42:01No one can wake my father.
42:03Well, your mum, then.
42:04My mum will think it's just a dream and turn over.
42:07What?
42:07No offence, Nick.
42:09But you are a bit hard to believe.
42:14Well, you must have somebody.
42:16A clever friend.
42:19I've got it.
42:20Who?
42:21Munro.
42:22But he's not yellow. You told me so.
42:24But he's very clever.
42:26He'd be up about now, reading a book or something.
42:29Well, where will I find him?
42:31Regents Park, Chestergate.
42:48Forgive me, Mr. Munro.
42:50I have borrowed your machine to communicate with you.
42:53Where are you? Can't you talk?
42:55Unfortunately, only yellow people can see me or hear me.
42:59I come from outer space.
43:02Interesting.
43:05What can I do for you?
43:07Our mutual friend, John Saunders, is a prisoner in the tower.
43:11How did he get in at this time of night?
43:12My fault, Mr. Munro.
43:14I introduced him by means of an electric current.
43:17At what velocity?
43:18By an ordinary television set.
43:20Why can't he get out the same way?
43:21He's under guard until his execution.
43:25Execution?
43:25At dawn, Mr. Munro.
43:30If he can't get to a TV set, you'll have to get one to him.
43:34How?
43:36Easy.
43:37All you have to do is...
43:51No, it can't be, yeah.
44:03No, it just doesn't go.
45:27You remember everything?
45:29Yep.
45:30You don't want me to repeat the words?
45:32No, thanks.
45:38Prisoner?
45:39Have you got anything to say?
45:41Yes, sir.
45:43What?
45:43Say it then.
45:46I protest on two accounts.
45:49Not only am I innocent, but I have been denied my last wish.
45:53This is true, executioner.
45:55I am afraid so, sir.
45:59In the name of the government and the people, and the executioner, I apologize.
46:06I accept your apology.
46:08Set your last wish, prisoner, and let's get on with it.
46:11My last wish is to watch television for the last time.
46:17So be it.
46:19Bring Heather a television set with a long enough bleed that it can be plugged in inside.
46:25But it's far too early, my lord.
46:27There's nothing on at dawn.
46:30Prisoner?
46:30You heard what the executioner said?
46:33Yes, sir.
46:33But I just want to switch it on.
46:35All the same.
46:36Sounds silly to me.
46:39Well, it's your execution.
46:43Not mine.
46:56Switch off.
47:03Which particular channels are you?
47:06It doesn't really matter.
47:09May I go closer, my lord?
47:11Closer you like.
47:20I hope you like the program, prisoner.
47:24The best program I've ever seen.
47:30Fools!
47:31Knaves!
47:37Thanks, pal.
47:39Let's go, bud.
47:40I've already overstayed my time.
47:42Nick!
47:43Alice!
47:44And Father Christmas.
47:45Where are they?
47:46In there.
47:47Both of them?
47:47Mm-hmm.
47:55One each.
48:04I hope you've put in the picture on the screen.
48:07Travel without the means of a foreign conductor.
48:09Like wires.
48:10All the others need wires, cables, et cetera.
48:13Exactly.
48:14So long, John.
48:15Now.
48:15Open, tell me what we call this disaster.
48:17I hope we meet again.
48:19Bye, Nick.
48:22I can't take this to school.
48:25All right.
48:25I'll take it home for you.
48:27Find it in your room.
48:28That's why you're waiting for it.
48:29So long, John.
48:31Have a nice trip.
48:33Day.
48:39The question was, what do we call a conductor saunders?
48:43There are good conductors, and bad conductors, and semiconductors.
48:48A good conductor allows us to transfer electricity from one body to another.
48:54Did you hear that, Monroe?
48:56Yes, sir.
48:57You wouldn't know by any chance how electricity travels.
48:59In waves, sir.
49:00Like those on the board.
49:03With what speed, saunders?
49:05One hundred and eighty-six thousand miles in a second.
49:08Well, I said I'd send you home if I caught you napping again, but, sir, boy, who knows all about
49:13electricity?
49:14And in his sleep.
49:15Exactly, Monroe.
49:17Well, what do you think?
49:19Well!
49:26Hello, John.
49:27Hello, Mrs. Brown.
49:28What, do you hurry?
49:31Hello, John.
49:32Hello, Mrs. Price.
49:49Mum!
49:50I'm getting your tea, darling.
49:52Mum!
49:53Has anybody left a box for me?
49:55What box?
49:58Is this the room, John?
49:59It's nothing.
50:16Wait.
50:17One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven.
50:31Eleven?
50:35There is something wrong.
50:36Baby mice.
50:38Eleven of them.
50:39Oh.
50:41I'll give them away.
50:43Mum wrote a pair, and so does Gary, and that new Brazilian boy.
50:58Do they like sugar?
51:13Hi.
51:15.
51:26The night of New York was particularly happy,
51:30Is there any time to go back to my own?...?
51:32I'm
