00:06Would you like some more, Kedri?
00:08No, thank you.
00:12Seems a rather interesting letter.
00:15It's from my Aunty Pad.
00:16Oh, the one who runs a B&B?
00:18No. Soon to be a four-star family hotel.
00:22Oh.
00:23And she's invited us to the Grand Gala reopening.
00:27Really?
00:30An evening of champagne and sophistication with the theme of the 1920s.
00:34Oh, it sounds wonderful.
00:36I can't wait to see this place.
00:39Then she goes on to say,
00:40can we help with the painting, decorating and getting the place ship-shape?
00:44Well, she's asking rather a lot.
00:47She has an inspector coming from the Anderson's Hotel Guide.
00:50Oh, sorry, what's that?
00:52An annual survey of the most prestigious hotels in Britain.
00:56She really is pushing the boat out.
01:01Yes?
01:03Oh, no, no, nothing.
01:05Oh.
01:06Oh, gosh.
01:08Right.
01:08Um, well, thank you for the most delicious Kedjari.
01:14Hm.
01:17Have a good day.
01:18You too.
01:30How do you fancy a trip to the seaside?
01:34Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
01:58no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
02:01no.
02:25So is it still the same as you remember?
02:28It is. Every summer, as a child, I come down here and play with all the local children on the
02:34beach.
02:35Did you used to play pirates?
02:37Yes. They were the pirates. I was the customs man who caught.
02:42Of course. Shame we have so much work to do, though. If only we had an army of helpers.
02:50Surprise!
02:52What the...? How did...?
02:55Well, you said your Auntie Pat needed some help. I thought it would be a nice surprise for you.
03:01Well, it's definitely a surprise.
03:03We're very keen to get to work, Inspector, so you can have more time with your wife.
03:08Oh, this place is amazing. I've seen pictures of the seaside, but I never knew the sand was so warm
03:13and so soft.
03:14Brenda, you've never actually been to the seaside before.
03:18Well, my mum died when I was seven. We never got to go on holidays.
03:22Ahoy there, landlubbers!
03:25Oh-ho! Auntie Pat!
03:30Hello! Hello! Hello! Hello!
03:33You must be Isabel.
03:35Oh, how lovely. How lovely to put a face to that melodious voice.
03:40Lovely to meet you.
03:41Oh, Auntie Pat, how are you?
03:44Marvellous, darling. But what's happened to you, your skin and bone?
03:47Aren't you feeding him?
03:48Oh, I do give him three square mils a day.
03:51I'm only teasing.
03:52Mind you, actually, you have to keep your eye on this one around food.
03:56When he was a boy, he used to sneak into the kitchen searching for the chocolate profiteroles.
04:02We used to call him Edgar the Chocolate Heffalump.
04:06Don't tell me.
04:07Father Brown.
04:08And Sergeant Goodfellow. And, um, Brenda.
04:12Hi.
04:12It's nice to meet you. We're here to help in any way that we can.
04:15Oh, you know, this is manor. Manor from heaven.
04:19Because there is just so much that has to be done.
04:23I see you've been picking wild crabs.
04:25Yes, well, they make very nice, er, table decorations, right?
04:29Let us get you all checked in.
04:31Follow me!
04:35Come along, you chocolate heffalump.
04:45Raymond?
04:47Raymond?
04:48Raymond?
04:51Raymond!
04:51Raymond!
04:52Yes, dear, that is my name.
04:54Thank you for reminding me.
04:56When are you going to hang this picture up?
04:57I am rather busy trying to organise a gala dinner.
05:01If you didn't spend so much time arguing, we might actually be ready by now.
05:03Mrs. Parkinson!
05:06Oh, my word! Who is this?
05:09Well, here's Edgar.
05:11The only member of my family I've never been tempted to strangle.
05:16May I introduce Raymond and Cynthia?
05:18My deputy managers who have worked here for 30 years.
05:21In fact, they met and married here.
05:24Oh, isn't that nice?
05:29Yes, so, erm, I think we have a double room with a sea view.
05:33Oh, yes, I'll sort that.
05:35So, tonight, we are having a rehearsal of the 1920s themed dinner.
05:39We are testing a few of the recipes we're serving tomorrow,
05:43but there's so much work to do, so many jobs, window cleaning, gardening.
05:48I could help with that.
05:50And I'm a dab hand with a chamois leather.
05:52Oh.
05:53Well, come along.
05:54Yes.
05:56Oh, Raymond?
05:58What is all this mess?
06:00Mr. Crabtree, he won't do any more work until he's been fully paid.
06:03Fine.
06:04Well, we'll just put wallpapering on the list of things to do.
06:08Ahem.
06:09Yes, put those flowers in water before they wilt.
06:12Yes, Mrs. Parley.
06:14And for me.
06:20She's such a character, Aunty Pat.
06:22Yeah.
06:22No-one would argue with that.
06:25Although, did she seem a bit peaky?
06:27Peaky?
06:28What do you mean?
06:29The way she was leaning on reception.
06:31Just a bit fragile.
06:33Oh.
06:34Aunty Pat's as fragile as a Sherman tank.
06:37If you say so.
06:39And I am sorry if my surprise turned out to be more of a shock.
06:44Yes.
06:45What's supposed to be our honeymoon, not a parish outing.
06:48I know.
06:49But we will spend more time together.
06:52Once we've got through all our jobs.
06:59Do you think I should wear these earrings tonight?
07:01Yes.
07:02You didn't even look at them.
07:02Because I'm busy organizing tonight's dinner, tomorrow night's garden room.
07:07We've got an inspector coming.
07:08Well, well, well.
07:10This place hasn't changed a bit.
07:13It's practically a museum.
07:16Max Bishop.
07:19Raymond.
07:20Cynthia.
07:22How are you?
07:23We're fine.
07:25We're good, actually.
07:27Mrs. Parkinson has made us deputy manager.
07:30Oh.
07:31Well.
07:32That's something, I suppose.
07:34Now, can you book me into the Grand Suite for three days?
07:38Sorry, Max.
07:39We're not open until next week.
07:42We've just got friends and family staying.
07:44I worked here for seven years.
07:46I think that makes me family.
07:48Well, Father, there was some very enthusiastic pruning.
07:52Sharp shears.
07:53I'm sure that the hydrangeas will grow back again.
07:57What are you doing here?
08:00I'm just checking into your most expensive room.
08:15Oh! Edgar, don't you look smart.
08:18Yes, do come and sit down.
08:21Now then, Aunty Pat.
08:24Are you all right?
08:26Yes.
08:28Yes, I'm always all right.
08:29It's the rest of the world that's all wrong.
08:32I thought as much.
08:33Glad to hear it.
08:36Shall I show the guests in, Mrs. Parkinson?
08:38Oh, yes, yes.
08:39Come one, come all.
08:42Oh.
08:45Straight slow.
08:47Where would you like me to sit?
08:49Just on the other side of Edgar.
08:51And then we can fight over him.
08:53Please, everybody else, just sit wherever you like.
08:57That is an awful lot of cutlery, which is normally a good sign.
09:00Well, we are serving a three-course dinner, followed by petit fours and lots of profiteroles.
09:09Oh! Good news for you, Mr. Effelope.
09:11Thank you, Miss Palmer.
09:14Father Brown?
09:15Champagne?
09:17Well, that is a very easy question to answer.
09:21Yes, please.
09:23Oh!
09:24Quickly!
09:25Quickly!
09:26Get out of practice, Raymond.
09:30Max.
09:31I had a feeling that you might join us.
09:35Please, make yourself comfortable.
09:38Over there.
09:46Would you like me to serve?
09:47Yes.
09:48Of course.
09:50No, no, no, dear.
09:52Silver service.
09:54And the table.
09:58Madame et Monsieur.
10:02The Palace Hotel has stood on this site for an eye on 70 years, constantly battled by the cruel sea.
10:10But the sea yields up treasure, and you will taste that treasure in our bouillie bays.
10:18Bon appetit.
10:19Please do start.
10:20I can't bear cold food.
10:22Right.
10:33It's...
10:34How is it for you, Father?
10:37It tastes very much of the sea.
10:41It's extremely salty.
10:43What?
10:44But I...
10:46I can't think why it would be.
10:47I was terribly careful with the seasoning.
10:51I mean...
10:54None for me.
11:00This is all you're doing, isn't it?
11:02That's a very serious accusation.
11:05Would you care to repeat it?
11:08Actually, I...
11:09I might have put too much salt in.
11:11Ah, yes.
11:12Too many cooks.
11:13Well, let's hope you get things sorted.
11:16Before the inspector gets here.
11:19How do you know about that?
11:20Oh, when you move in the circles I move in, you hear things and, er...
11:25Yes, Mr. Wendell.
11:27Remember your old work colleague, Max Bishop?
11:30He's been seen.
11:32Wandering round town.
11:34Yes.
11:35I know.
11:36Just remember.
11:38I got rid of you once before.
11:41And I can get rid of you again.
11:47Mrs. Parkinson.
11:49Nice to see you.
11:51Sergeant Oldham.
11:52How are Julia and the little ones?
11:55Not so little now, I imagine.
11:57We're all very well, thank you.
12:00Good.
12:02Well, I've had quite enough fun for one evening.
12:05And I'll see you all tomorrow.
12:07Good luck.
12:09You're going to need it.
12:16Auntie Pat.
12:17No, I should never have risen to the bait.
12:21I'm...
12:22I'm, er...
12:23I'm going to leave you now in the capable hands of Cynthia and Raymond.
12:28Good night.
12:43I do hope Auntie Pat's all right.
12:46That man really seemed to upset her.
12:49Well, she's a tough old thing.
12:52She certainly gives as good as she gets.
12:54She does.
12:57What's that?
12:59It's a bucket.
13:01Yeah.
13:03Underneath it.
13:15Ooh!
13:27No, my Pages is a Philly spiritus Saint Théane.
13:33thank you father a terrible way for a man to meet his maker indeed suspect he was hit over the
13:41head
13:41the blunt object before being buried as the tide came in that is my hypothesis
13:47what about that dark stain on his forehead any idea what that is inspector i'm sure you do a
13:54marvelous job in your leafy little village but you leave things to us eh and enjoy your holiday
14:10any idea who killed him technically that would be the sea
14:15which also did a very good job of washing away most of the evidence
14:29hello what's going on i'm afraid one of your guests has been murdered mrs wendell
14:34mr bishop max
14:41sergeant olden yes father there's a champagne bottle in this bin and it's unopened it's bloodstained
14:50and it comes from the palace hotel
14:55ladies and gentlemen thank you for your cooperation thus far we believe the murder
15:01took place between eight o'clock when mr bishop was dining here and midnight when the tide was high
15:07i need to know all of your movements after eight
15:12well i was serving dinner to these good people here and then
15:16at about nine o'clock i locked up and went briefly outside to inspect the grounds can anyone
15:21corroborate your version of events yes i can i was with him the whole time every single second
15:29mostly i we've worked together we went outside together then we went to bed just after ten
15:37mrs parkinson what yes where did you go after you stormed out of the restaurant stormed i went
15:46upstairs to make a list of all the jobs that needed doing before today's inspection
15:52so now can we please get a move on auntie pat well it doesn't look good if you lose your
15:58temper
15:59oh right but mr parkinson i'm arresting you for the murder of max bishop on what grounds
16:06there were two sets of fingerprints on the murder weapon the bottle of champagne
16:09mr bishop himself and mrs parkinson's well yes it was my champagne
16:15because it came from my cellar we are not obliged to say anything but anything you say may be given
16:21in evidence this way please this is ridiculous i don't think they'd be happy with the relative
16:26barging into the station although they might allow a visit from a priest
16:34tell me about mr bishop well 30 years ago i sacked him he worked at the hotel as a bellboy
16:42and i found he was stealing from the guest's room you know in the hotel industry that that's a mortal
16:50sin
16:51so a man who bears a grudge on you walks in when the hotel is in trouble things aren't going
17:01very well are they
17:04uh no uh no we are we are at rock bottom
17:12i've taken out loan after loan and if things don't improve then the bank will take the hotel
17:19and that's why you invited anderson's guide to inspect
17:22uh well yes one last roll of the dice
17:26was anyone else upset
17:30at mr bishop's reappearance
17:33well i didn't think raymond was too delighted
17:37of course back in the day they were great friends
17:40cynthia raymond and max
17:43uh i did i did used to think that max got in the way a bit
17:49were mr and mrs wendell married at that point
17:52no it was only after max left that raymond popped the question
17:58in fact i wonder if max didn't come back not to humiliate me but to seduce cynthia
18:07why do you say that well yesterday when i was preparing the buoy bass i could hear max and raymond
18:16arguing
18:23oh father you've been a while how is she your aunt is bearing up of course she is she's as
18:29strong as
18:29not she's very keen that we make this evening a success i think it's more important we solve the
18:36murder well perhaps by doing one it will help us do the other
18:49right mrs parkinson's left her to do this would you like me to type it up no raymond we actually
18:53have to do something what time is mavis getting here mavis left a note she's resigned oh
18:58no right i've managed to sort those wonky tables out and we swept all the floors
19:02is there anything else we can do to help no we're beyond help the best thing now would be
19:08to board up all the doors and hang a condemned sign outside hello how are we getting on we're about
19:14to
19:14give up completely what cancelling this evening and telling anderson's we're not ready you do
19:20realize my aunt has given 50 years of her life to this place yes but she's not here and it
19:26was
19:26always her hand on the tiller that steered us through the rocks mrs parkinson's been your employer
19:32for 30 years i'm sure she hoped that if she had to step back you would step forward we also
19:39have a
19:40financial difficulty she's left a long ingredients list and no actual money fine i'll go down to the
19:46market i'll come with you and i can service some rooms i have worked in hotels before i can do
19:53some
19:54cooking can i be your sous chef of course i shall polish the silver i will assist
20:02am i right in saying you have worked here since the 1920s you and cynthia and max
20:11sorry allow me
20:16so what did you think when max bishop turned up again mrs parkinson seems to think he once had
20:23designs on your wife
20:27no of course not no no we were pals back then the three of us we were the well they
20:36were the
20:36happiest times of my life yes max was sacked for stealing but not for stealing not for stealing my
20:41girlfriend you overheard yesterday having an argument with mr bishop you said and i quote
20:50leave her alone please just leave her alone yes i did but i was not talking about cynthia no
21:01when max arrived he said some rather nasty things about mrs parkinson so i let him settle into his
21:06room and when he came downstairs i told him to stop leave her alone what did he say to that
21:12he told me to face the facts the palace hotel is doomed and he's the only one who could save
21:18it
21:19what do you think he meant i don't know i told him i didn't want to hear it and if
21:25you'll excuse me
21:25i need to go and find some fish forks
21:30thank you miss palmer most helpful whoa who could afford a room like this that is what we are here
21:39to find
21:39out mr bishop claimed he came here to save the palace and i'm keen to find out how what's this
21:59oh plans for the hotel divided into eight flats so that's his game he's a property developer
22:10block
22:14meet me at brandrift bay nine o'clock that's the beach where they found him
22:22was he killed by the person to whom he said this note i should probably make the bed the inspector
22:29will come in here good idea
22:36what's this
22:43oh yes i know who's here that belongs to
22:51and here we are enough fish to start your own aquarium oh edgar you save the day you always do
22:58right well can i suggest i'll read out the recipe and allocate jobs as i go no raymond no just
23:05no
23:06oh raymond
23:09would you like to help me with the windows
23:12yes yes of course yes
23:20are you all right mrs wendell yes just a little bit stressed we've got this rather complicated
23:27bouabaisse to make which means we we have fish to fill it 22 herbs and spices and we haven't even
23:33started the stock yet that does seem herculean effort yes but if we want to get into the anderson's
23:38guide you might try making things people like to eat oh oh yes you're right we could change the menu
23:52oh fish pie everyone loves fish pie mrs wendell may i have a word yes
24:07i'm sorry father but i'm really very busy yes i can see
24:13must put an awful strain on your marriage marriage what's that they used to be married once
24:21i i mean i i do love raymond it's just we're married to the hotel i noticed you have separate
24:28rooms
24:30well yes separate lives actually was it ever a happy marriage we were happy
24:40before we were married when it was just the three of us me raymond and max ah yes
24:50mr bishop did you notice yesterday he was last into dinner because i believe he was in the kitchen
25:02over salting the bouillabaisse
25:05i think so
25:09but you took responsibility for his sabotage which seems strange unless you felt in some way responsible
25:21i read the papers you see and i knew max had done very well for himself so i wrote and
25:30told him we were in
25:30trouble and was there any chance of alone but it soon became clear he was not here to help he'd
25:39just come
25:39to humiliate us what did you do to stop him
25:44nothing i just try to avoid him
25:49and yet
25:52i've done this by his bed
26:02all right
26:05when raymond went round to speak with him
26:08i sneaked into his room to look round
26:13i imagine you saw his plans to turn the hotel into flats
26:18i did and i was just staring at them horrified
26:23and max came in and grabbed me so that must be when i lost the earring
26:28i see he said this place destroyed him and now he's going to destroy it
26:36do you know he used to steal from people's rooms only small amounts so no one knew but mrs
26:44parkinson found out and she called the police
26:48i don't suppose you remember the name of the arresting officer
26:56what can i say he was a wrongman but i made sure he suffered the full force of the law
27:04except i've spoken to scotland yard max bishop has no criminal record whatsoever
27:11so you let him go but told everyone you charged him
27:17for a long time ago i i don't exactly recall mr bishop remembered you vividly
27:24he asked after your wife and children
27:27i imagine 30 years ago you had a young family and not much money
27:39perhaps we should talk to his senior officer father all right he did offer me a certain sum
27:46but believe me it was hard getting by in five pound a week you took a bribe from a criminal
27:52suspect
27:53max said he'd leave town and never darken our doors again i really don't see what the harm was
27:59so i think oldham many people would say that punishment can be a valuable life lesson
28:07a lesson you failed to teach max bishop now
28:14i think you've had more than enough time to question my aunt
28:20well that was the worst holiday i've ever had
28:27i think you've had more than enough time to get back to the hotel
28:29raymond and uh cynthia they can't make a decision without me i'll leave you two to talk
28:38why didn't you tell me that the hotel was in difficulty
28:41it isn't the palace is a luxury ocean lineup it just so happens that it's floating in a sea of
28:48mediocrity
28:49yes and the suppliers have told me they think it could be about to sink
28:54yes well things are a bit grim but i believe that we're just about to turn a corner yeah and
29:01i
29:01realize that i have been saying that for several years yes yes and you've been working yourself 18
29:08hours a day now do you think that can be good for you if i didn't work i wouldn't know
29:13what to do
29:14you know how hard it is to abandon a place that you've loved and cherished for your whole life
29:20for 50 years and besides it means a lot to you what do you mean you know what i mean
29:28whenever your parents used to have a bit of difficulties then they got me to look after you
29:35at the palace it was it was home away from home auntie pad it's not the palace i care about
29:43it's just a pile of bricks and mortar and some very comfortable bedding
29:49the woman who runs it i love her i rather worry that she's not looking after herself properly
30:00well um she's rather fond of you edgar i have no choice i just have to keep going so will
30:12you kindly
30:12take me back to the luxury liner before the management managed to sink it
30:25there you go what do you think oh it's magnificent oh have you thought about a career
30:32in interior design oh not really thank you though if i spend one more moment in that kitchen i think
30:39i'm gonna melt agreed oh this is extraordinary oh it feels like we've gone back in time
30:52to the glory days oh i should get rid of all the mold and the mess and our most annoying
31:00guest has

33:19to be polite for a canapé if you want to stay in the middle of trying to stay in the

33:21this is not the lump fish roe this is actual caviar indeed most palatable
33:26i must say it does go down nicely oh please do have another one
33:37um ladies and gentlemen welcome one and all to the palace
33:48this hotel has been standing here for 70 years buffeted of course by waves and wind
33:56but able to survive the ravages of time mr wendell
34:03people are you spare five minutes anyone would build a hotel
34:08right by the sea but of course people like us like to live on the edge where the land i
34:14was intrigued
34:15by the photograph of you both outside the hotel in 1953
34:22your hair was much grayer then would i be right in thinking that you use hair dye
34:34that is a very personal question father well yes but when they found mr bishop's body
34:44there was a dark stain on his temple
34:48could that stain have been from hair dye from the person who buried him
34:59he sent you a note didn't he meet me at brandreth bay at nine o'clock why would you go
35:07what do you think you're doing we don't need you to save the hotel we're perfectly happy as we are
35:13raymond i'm sorry if i've upset everyone
35:20i was angry at the way mrs parkinson treated me were you perhaps hoping to turn back the clock
35:27what do you mean by that at first i thought mr bishop was having an affair with your wife
35:35but no i suspect not with her i don't know what you're implying
35:44your wife confirmed that you have separate bedrooms separate lives
35:53and the champagne would suggest some sort of celebration do you remember our midnight picnics on the beach
36:05yes lying in the sandies
36:10how could i forget you will help me won't you raymond
36:18of course i knew you wouldn't let me down you never did max
36:25i would do anything for you
36:31do you really think i would give a second look at a worn out old worm like you
36:39you're going to help me destroy this place or i will tell the whole world what you really are
36:45including your sad neglected lonely little wife
36:53mr bishop sought to use his power over you
37:00but things spiraled out of control didn't they
37:11now you had a new problem his body
37:19luckily some children have been digging the hole in the sand which was almost the right size
37:36i did not mean to kill him
37:39i would be the last person to condemn anyone for falling in love but in order to spare people's
37:44feelings you have been living your life in the shadows living a lie
37:52which has not brought happiness to you or your wife
38:00what what am i meant to do then how do i get out of this mess
38:07there is one course of action which will in time bring you peace you must confess
38:16ask for god's forgiveness and take the consequences of your actions
38:30and take the consequences of your actions
38:33mr moon you really must try our famous bouillabaisse
38:37is it really necessary
38:39well it's it's seasoned with 22 different herbs and spices
38:43is it indeed
38:44cynthia the bouillabaisse
38:47actually mrs parkinson
38:49we decided not to make bouillabaisse
38:52what
38:52we thought rather than follow a hundred year old recipe that we would go to the market and see
38:57what was in season and what little delicacies did you find there
39:01oh scallops so fresh they fell out of their shells
39:07silver mackerel pink lobster so we made a fish pie
39:14here you go bon appetit well it does sound intriguing
39:20okay
39:21but the proof of the pudding
39:50Mrs. Parkinson,
39:52from your description, I expected this to be a dusty, fusty, old-fashioned establishment.
39:59But you've done wonders with this place.
40:03Décor that lets the light in and the finest fish pie I've ever tasted.
40:07Ah, well, yes, it's not one of my usual recipes.
40:11This place is the future of British hospitality.
40:15Welcome to Anderson's Hotel Guide.
40:18Oh, wonderful, wonderful.
40:20Oh, congratulations.
40:23We've got into the guide.
40:25Everything we've worked for all these years.
40:26That's wonderful, darling, but it's all down to you.
40:30It's always been you, and I'm sorry I've been a bad husband.
40:34What do you mean?
40:37Sergeant Oldham, may...
40:40Yes, Mr. Wendell.
40:47I need to confess.
40:53Right then.
40:54Ready for the off.
40:58I think so.
41:00Have you enjoyed your trip to the seaside?
41:03Spent most of it with a feather duster in me hand, but I do love this place.
41:07Yes, thank you for everything.
41:10You must come and visit us in Kembleford.
41:13I mean, I know you're busy with the hotel.
41:17Ah, yes, well, that's rather likely to change.
41:20Oh, yes?
41:21Yes.
41:22Well, Mr. Moon has written us such a glowing review that I'm quite confident that the palace will survive.
41:30Oh, of course it will.
41:32So, therefore, I've decided to step down and give the baton to Cynthia, who I think you'll agree was more
41:41than capable.
41:42Well, she learned from the best.
41:45Right, ready to depart, Mrs. Sullivan?
41:49Oh, can't we just have one last trip to the beach?
41:59Ooh, that's good.
42:01Ooh!
42:04Look at that duck over there.
42:06What?
42:08James!
42:09No!
42:09Oh, my God!
42:10Ha, ha, ha!
42:11Ah!
42:12Ah!
42:13Ah!
42:28Do you know, I just have to say that when I first suggested this trip, it was meant to be
42:35just Isabelle and I, a mini honeymoon, getting away from it all.
42:40I know. I always seem to put my foot in it, but...
42:43But, but, I do know that when I married Isabelle, I not only married her talents, her passions, but also
42:54her friends.
42:55Aww.
42:56And that makes me, and that makes me the luckiest man in the world.
43:02Oh!
43:09And, Aunty Pad, I promise we will be back, just the two of us, but for now, could you take
43:16a photograph of us all?
43:17Uh, yes, and I know just the place.
43:27Everybody, say...
43:29Cheers!
43:31Cheers!
43:32Cheers!
43:32Cheers, lady!
43:33Cheers!
