00:33So, 17-year-old Beverly Pearson of 33 Elmdean Close, you think you'd like to work here?
00:39Good, so what do you think we're trying to do?
00:42Pardon?
00:43What do you think our work is here at the centre?
00:45Oh, well, I suppose you help people to play sport.
00:51Wrong.
00:51I admit, if somebody wants to go for a swim...
00:55Wrong again.
00:56How many tries do I get?
00:59Tell me, Beverly, on your way into the centre, did you know it's anything written above the door?
01:03Oh, it says, you're not allowed in with certain kinds of shoes.
01:07Above that?
01:09People in leather jackets aren't allowed in either.
01:11No, I admit, carved over the door.
01:16Semper omnibus facultes.
01:19Open to all.
01:21Oh, that is nice.
01:23It's the most important thing about this centre, Beverly.
01:26We're open to all.
01:28And that's not just people who like sport.
01:31In fact, the people I really want to see in here are the people who don't like sport at all,
01:34who hate the idea, can't see the point in it.
01:36Those are the people I really want to see in here, Beverly.
01:38And you know why?
01:39Well, I suppose...
01:40I'll tell you why, Beverly.
01:42Because in a divided and troubled world such as this,
01:45it seems to me that sport is the one thing that can bring people together.
01:50Oh, I see...
01:50Out there are people fighting, hating, arguing.
01:54I think if we can just get them to come in here and not fight,
01:57but to have a game of badminton instead.
01:59To talk to each other in the shower afterwards.
02:03To share each other's deodorant.
02:06To talk to one another, Beverly.
02:09To... I'm not ashamed to say it.
02:11To love one another.
02:13You see, Beverly, in my book, a leisure centre is not for playing sports.
02:17It's a cathedral for the modern community.
02:20Let me give you an example.
02:23Do you know what the pool is being used for this morning?
02:26Swimming.
02:28That's wrong as well, isn't it?
02:30It's being used for a wedding, Beverly.
02:33A young man in the scuba club is getting married in it.
02:36Now, he could have chosen a church or a registry office, but no.
02:40He decided to come here.
02:42And I think that's rather significant, don't you?
02:45You see, Beverly, I have this dream.
02:49Excuse me.
02:51Britters?
02:52Yes, Colin?
02:53What, actually in the pool?
02:56I'll be right down.
02:58Excuse me, Beverly.
03:08OK, how did it happen?
03:11The service was going fine.
03:13The bride and groom had just given each other the thumbs upside.
03:16And then Rick, that's the best man, dropped the ring.
03:18I think he may have been up to the ring.
03:19See, often I've done a great deal, Mr. Britters.
03:22And when he swam to pick it up, he's got his fingers stuck.
03:25Yes, I know that, Colin.
03:26That's why I'm here.
03:29Well, Gavin, how's it going?
03:31He's not happy, Mr. Britters.
03:32He gave me this message.
03:36I am running.
03:38His writing's not up to much, is it?
03:39Yeah, he is using his left hand.
03:41His right hand's stuck in the grating, you see.
03:43Yes, I am aware of that, thank you, Colin.
03:46I am running.
03:47Can you see where he's running?
03:48No.
03:49I think it's out of air, Mr. Britters.
03:51Air?
03:52How do you make air from that?
03:53Well, it's not so much the writing, more the colour of his face.
03:56Sort of purplish.
03:58Vicki, can we borrow your tank?
03:59Oh, yes, of course.
04:01Right, Gavin, I've got here a bar of soap.
04:03I want you to rub it round his finger.
04:05It might just do the trick.
04:08Now, I have a five-school swimming gala doing here at 12.
04:11What exactly is our situation?
04:12Have you finished the service?
04:14Oh, yes, they're married, all right.
04:15Without a rig?
04:16Well, if you could have to spare one down these trunks, Mr. Britters.
04:19Good.
04:20Look, do you need us any more?
04:21Pardon?
04:22It's just that I'm wanted outside for the photos.
04:24Oh, I see.
04:25Could you possibly tell Rick that we're having a couple of pints across at the Bricklers
04:28before the reception, if he'd care to join us?
04:31Right.
04:33It's no good, Mr. Britters.
04:35It keeps slipping out of your hands.
04:37It's probably all that water.
04:40Colin, perhaps you could do something useful,
04:42like clearing the changing rooms and telling Carol the pool is closed till further notice.
04:46Why?
04:46We cannot take any risks in a situation like this.
04:48What if some small child became entangled in his tailcoat?
04:51The legal problems do not bear thinking about.
04:54Gavin, we're going to take that grating out.
04:56You'd better come with me and get a screwdriver.
04:57There's one more message, Mr. Britters.
04:59What's that?
04:59Here.
05:01Please don't be long.
05:02I had the curry last night.
05:13Any idea what's happening?
05:15No idea.
05:16There seems to be some sort of problem.
05:17Well, will there be long?
05:18There may be.
05:19Gordon's sorting it out.
05:23I've often wondered, how did you and Gordon meet?
05:27You mean, why did I marry him?
05:30Well, sort of.
05:32I don't know.
05:32I've never been very lucky with men.
05:36We met on the hard shoulder of the M6 just outside Birmingham.
05:39Well, that doesn't sound a very promising start.
05:42No.
05:43I was just recovering from a rather messy divorce.
05:46And for some unknown reason, I'd let this ape called Terry take me to the caravan show.
05:51Anyway, we broke down on the way home.
05:52Engine just died.
05:53And suddenly, from out of nowhere, there was Gordon, clutching his little set of socket spanners.
05:59And you'd never met him before?
06:00No.
06:01And he was marvellous.
06:02He took one look at the engine and said, someone's not been cleaning their spark plugs properly, have they?
06:08I've never heard anyone talk to Terry like that before.
06:11I just laughed.
06:12Terry told me to shut up.
06:14Gordon said he thought perhaps women deserve better language than that.
06:17And it went on from there.
06:19Eventually, Gordon said he thought we should all sit down, apologise to each other and shake hands.
06:23And Terry hit him over the head with a tyre lever.
06:28It was that long, hot summer of 83.
06:31Do you remember?
06:31And visiting him in hospital, I really did get quite fond of him.
06:37I mean, he was quite different from how he is now.
06:40Then he was drifting in and out of a coma with his jaw wired up.
06:44I thought he was wonderful.
06:48Well, he can be very charming sometimes.
06:52Mm.
06:53And loyal.
06:55Oh, he's very...
06:57Well, mm.
06:58He seems to care about things.
07:00Oh, he's...
07:01Yeah.
07:03It's our wedding anniversary today.
07:07I thought you looked a bit down.
07:14Screwdriver, screwdriver.
07:17There we are, Gavin.
07:19You just like to sign for it there.
07:24Right, Beverly, where were we?
07:27Beverly?
07:29Um, you were telling me all about the centre, Mr. Brittus.
07:32How it isn't for people to play sport.
07:34Well, aren't you sure?
07:35Yeah.
07:36Oh, no, it's not just meant for that.
07:38Oh, I see.
07:39I did wonder.
07:41Because you've got all those squash courts and everything downstairs.
07:45Let me tell you a story, Beverly.
07:47When I was a student at Loughborough, we had a chap in digs who always had his nose in a
07:51book, reading about politics or philosophy.
07:54Anything to avoid talking to you.
07:56You know the sort.
07:57Now, I used to coach a little football team for underprivileged lads down in the docks.
08:02And every week, I would ask this chap if he wanted to play.
08:05And every week, he'd make up some excuse, like he had exams or something, or he didn't like football.
08:13But I kept plugging away.
08:15Until one day, just after his mother died, I think it was,
08:20He gave in and he said,
08:21All right, Gordon, you win.
08:23I'll play.
08:24And he played one game.
08:26And for that one game, that one game, he was part of the team.
08:31He belonged.
08:34And I don't think he'll ever forget that day, Beverly.
08:36In fact, that's what he told me years later when I ran into him quite by accident at the petrol
08:40station.
08:41He was polishing cars out in the forecourt.
08:44And when I saw what he'd made of his life,
08:46the shine he was putting on those bonnets,
08:48the pride he must have felt wearing those General Motors overalls.
08:51That is when I realised that sports can change people's lives.
08:57You see, Beverly, I have a dream.
09:00They've let down your tyres in the car park again, Mr. Jansson.
09:03No, Angie.
09:04And they were trying to push a potato up the exhaust, but Laura stopped them.
09:07She said, If you've got a moment, can you pop down to reception?
09:09What, now?
09:09I think so.
09:10That's another thing I've learnt, Beverly.
09:12The buck stops here.
09:13Ah!
09:17Coming to work here, are you?
09:18Yeah.
09:19Well, see, they're here all the chemists.
09:22Choices, choices, eh?
09:24Yeah.
09:25I've already done my interview with the chemist.
09:27He suggested I'll come up here.
09:31So what do you make of that girl?
09:34Pardon?
09:35Mr. Brittas.
09:36Oh, he's very impressive, isn't he?
09:40He's been telling me all about bringing everyone together.
09:44He's got this dream of world peace, you know.
09:48Yeah.
09:49Yeah, he has mentioned it.
09:52I'm thinking what sort of world it would be if everyone was like him, eh?
09:56Mm.
09:58That's quite a thought, isn't it?
10:01They're bailiffs, Mother.
10:02They can take whatever they want.
10:04Everything all right, Carol?
10:06Hi, Mr. Brittas.
10:07Hi.
10:07I'm sorry that Laura wanted to see me.
10:09Yes, sorry.
10:10I can't talk to you now, Mother.
10:11Yes, yes.
10:11You have a nice day, too.
10:12Right.
10:13What's this?
10:14What?
10:15All this water on the floor.
10:17I think it's those people in flippers, Mr. Brittas.
10:19It's all uphill some days, Carol, isn't it?
10:24How can I help you?
10:27Lovely.
10:27That's it.
10:28Lovely.
10:31That's it.
10:31Keep smiling.
10:33Whee!
10:34I'm sorry.
10:35I'm sorry.
10:37But I cannot let this pass without comment.
10:40There is water all over the floor in there.
10:43Don't you think it's a tiny bit selfish,
10:45leaving the place with water slopping about all over the floor?
10:49Other people have to use this centre, too, you know.
10:52Semper omnibus facultest.
10:54Don't you understand what that means?
10:56All right, all right.
10:57I know it's a festive occasion,
10:59and I don't want to put a dampener on proceedings,
11:01but I will leave you with one final thought.
11:03Would you do it in your own homes?
11:07All right, point taken.
11:09We'll say no more about it, then.
11:12Excuse me.
11:19Were you the one caught sticking a potato up his exhaust earlier?
11:23Sorry, Mr. Howard.
11:25Well, how about trying it again with a dog poo?
11:34If only people would realise it's their centre, Carol.
11:37It's not my centre.
11:37It's the whole point.
11:38It belongs to everyone.
11:39Come on, out.
11:40I mean it.
11:41Out.
11:42Laura?
11:43Come on, all the way.
11:44No sneaking back.
11:45Come on.
11:45Laura, what are you doing?
11:46I'm just telling Mr. Appleby here.
11:48He's not welcome in the centre.
11:49Laura, Laura.
11:50I cannot believe I'm hearing this.
11:52I'm very sorry.
11:52It's been a slight misunderstanding.
11:54You go on and enjoy yourself.
11:56You're very welcome.
11:56Have a nice day.
11:57You don't understand.
11:58I understand perfectly.
11:59Just because a man's in a wheelchair...
12:01He's drunk.
12:02What?
12:02He's got a 24-pack of Guinness in his shopping pannier
12:05and 18 of them are empty.
12:06You mean he's not disabled at all, he's just pretending?
12:09No, no, no.
12:10He's disabled, all right.
12:11He gets an allowance.
12:12And he uses it to get drunk.
12:14How ungrateful can you get?
12:16I found him in the girl's changing room.
12:18You mean it's some sort of peeping Tom?
12:20There was no peeping about it.
12:22He was just sat there watching him get undressed.
12:26I think they were too embarrassed to throw him out.
12:29Well, I'm not.
12:31Oh, Colin.
12:32Yes, Mr. Brittas?
12:33There's a man down there in an invalid car.
12:35Yes, it's nice, isn't it?
12:36When people like that...
12:37I wanted to ask him to leave.
12:39Are you sure?
12:40We don't want his sort in here.
12:41Just get rid of him, will you?
12:42If you say so, Mr. Brittas.
12:45What is it, Gavin?
12:46Oh, this doesn't seem to fit the screws on the grill, Mr. Brittas.
12:48We need a Phillips.
12:49What?
12:50One of those ones with a little crisscross on the end.
12:52Yes, I know what a Phillips screwdriver is, Gavin.
12:54What's the problem?
12:54Well, we can't seem to find one.
12:56To unscrew the grill in the pool.
12:58Well, you'd better go and buy one, haven't you?
12:59I think the centre could rise to the expense of a small screwdriver, don't you?
13:02Right, Mr. Brittas.
13:04Er, Gavin.
13:05Yes?
13:05Not the place in the high street.
13:07Sorry?
13:08I've never really trusted them.
13:09They were very difficult about a roof rack I brought back.
13:12It's only a 20-meg drive to home base.
13:14Yes, Mr. Brittas.
13:15Er, Gavin.
13:16Don't forget a receipt.
13:17Right there you go.
13:20Tim?
13:20I just thought you ought to know there's a man in an invalid car throwing beer cans into
13:23the squash court.
13:24Beer cans?
13:25Do you realise we built ramps for people like that?
13:30And then he has this extraordinary self-confidence.
13:34Well, nothing seems to dent it, does it?
13:37Ever.
13:38You know, when we left the last place, the staff gave him this present, which surprised
13:42me for a start.
13:43It was a print of General Gordon on the steps of Cartoon.
13:46You know, the one with the spear in his chest.
13:48Oh, very heroic.
13:50And written along the spear, in tiny letters, it said,
13:52from all the staff at Aldershot.
13:56Oh, it's one of his proudest possessions.
13:59He saw the writing, just thinks they were too shy to sign it properly.
14:04So he sees himself as a sort of General Gore?
14:06No.
14:07No, I think he models himself more on Mother Teresa.
14:11Right?
14:11Well, they do have a certain amount in common.
14:14I mean, they both care a great deal.
14:16They want desperately to help.
14:19And they both have this idea that God's called them for some special purpose.
14:23Yes.
14:24The only real difference is, I don't think God was trying to call Gordon at all.
14:28I think he just overheard a message for someone else.
14:32Gordon's just not qualified to be some sort of messiah.
14:36He should be somewhere at the back, shouldn't he?
14:39Tidying the hymn books.
14:42The only trouble is, if you think Gordon's a bit limited,
14:45what does that make the woman who married him?
14:49So, you haven't any exams.
14:51I'm not interested in academic qualifications, Beverly Pearson.
14:55The sort of people I want are visionaries, dreamers, idealists,
14:58but who have a practical, no-nonsense, down-to-earth common sense.
15:02They have to be individualists,
15:04who can think for themselves and work on their own,
15:06but who can still be part of an integrated discipline team.
15:09Right.
15:09They have to be quiet, caring, listening sort of people,
15:13but at the same time, quick-witted, resourceful,
15:15and able to deal with problems quickly and decisively.
15:17It's no good, Mr. Brittus.
15:19Could be knocked, you think, Colin.
15:24It's no good, Mr. Brittus.
15:25I can't catch him.
15:27He's in an invalid car, Colin.
15:29Those things have a maximum speed of eight miles an hour.
15:31He's put a matchstick in the governor, Mr. Brittus.
15:34They reckon he's doing over 30 down the long corridors.
15:37Can't we call the police?
15:39I'm not going to be the laughing stock down at the station twice in one week, Colin.
15:42If 38 staff in a physical training establishment can't stop one drunk in a wheelchair,
15:4730 miles an hour?
15:48They can't keep that up forever, can he?
15:49His batteries will give out.
15:50Yes, but how soon?
15:52Well, it shouldn't be too difficult to find out.
15:54He's half terrified the roly-poly club.
15:58Old Mrs. Bogthwaite is still wedged behind the wall bars.
16:03I thought we could lay some sort of trap.
16:05What?
16:06Something to slow him down, you know, like throwing a load of tin tacks in front of him
16:10and bursting his tyres.
16:11You're not thinking it through, Colin.
16:13What if some small child fell on them and poked both its eyes out?
16:16What then, eh?
16:17How'd that look in the tabloid press?
16:20Hello, is that Everest invalid cars?
16:23No, no, no, no, no.
16:24I just want to find out how long the batteries last.
16:27That long, eh?
16:29Yes, it is a great step forward.
16:32Anything up to 18 hours.
16:34Angie, I want you to bring me in the architect's plans.
16:37Now, Colin, where did you last see the...
16:40Britters?
16:41Has he?
16:42Whose clothes?
16:44Well, give her a blanket and tell her to keep off the corridors.
16:48Plans, Mr. Britters.
16:49Right, Colin, I want you to tell me where you last saw him.
16:52Outside the wait room, Mr. Britters.
16:54Right.
16:54And Linda said he was last sighted here, outside the showers, which means he's heading this way.
17:01Now, I reckon if we cut him off here...
17:03How do we do that, Mr. Britters?
17:04Some sort of barricade, I'd have thought.
17:06You could use cardboard boxes.
17:08What?
17:09It's what they do in the films.
17:12Stack up a lot of boxes and they break your form.
17:14Well done, Beverly Pearson.
17:16You're getting the hang of this already, aren't you?
17:17Cardboard boxes, Colin.
17:18Yeah, but what if he comes back round the other way, Mr. Britters?
17:21Oh, well, he won't be able to, will he, Colin?
17:23Because what I'm going to do is cut off these doors here and here, leaving him trapped here.
17:31You must have escaped in the left, Colin.
17:33You take the second floor, I'll look down here.
17:36Hello, Carol.
17:37How are things?
17:38Fine, Mrs. Britters, fine.
17:40I wanted to say about the lilos.
17:43Oh, you keep them till you get your beds back.
17:47You're very kind.
17:48I'm afraid you've just missed, Mr. Britters.
17:50Oh, that's all right.
17:52We came in to a swim, but the pool doesn't seem to be open.
17:55So we thought we might try a game of badminton.
17:56I'm afraid the gymnasium's closed off.
18:00Game of squash?
18:01Could we borrow some rackets, Carol?
18:02Yes, of course.
18:04You must have gone your way, Colin.
18:05You'd better start by sealing off the squash court,
18:08then close off the fire doors in the conference room,
18:10make sure the upstairs changing rooms are evacuated,
18:12then ask Gavin to bring the keys down to me, all right?
18:15Everything all right, Gordon?
18:16Oh, darling.
18:17I see you've persuaded Pat to come in and take my advice.
18:21What advice?
18:23Popping in here to tone up the flab.
18:26Or lose a few pounds, is it, Pat?
18:28We were hoping to have a swim.
18:31Oh, unfortunately...
18:32Then we thought a game of squash.
18:33But you seem to be closing the place down around us.
18:36We wondered if it was safe to sit on the stairs and read a book.
18:39Ah, you're a tonic, you are, darling.
18:41Am I?
18:42Here I am, going quietly up the wall,
18:44and you come in with a few gentle jokes
18:45and put the whole thing back in perspective.
18:47Well, I'm glad I managed that.
18:48Meeting here this evening, are we?
18:50I'll be here.
18:51Babysitter organised?
18:52Pam's volunteered, haven't you, Pam?
18:53Just checking.
18:54Well done, Pat.
18:56You're going out tonight?
18:58The anniversary.
18:59Every year he books tickets for a show in London, dinner, hotel.
19:03And you want me to babysit?
19:04Oh, not really, no.
19:06No?
19:06Well, we never actually get there.
19:08Usually we have to settle for a takeaway Chinese.
19:11Oh.
19:12Would you like me to hang around just in case?
19:14A burst radiator pipe.
19:15Don't move.
19:16I'm on my way.
19:18I shouldn't bother.
19:21Carol, that radiator was leaking rather close to the fuse box,
19:24so I've closed off the solarium and the sauna, all right?
19:26What do you think this will hit us?
19:28It's the barrier.
19:29Cardboard boxes, like you said.
19:31Colin, I meant a few cardboard boxes scattered around to slow him down.
19:35This is a...
19:35You can't even see over it.
19:37You can if you stand on the fire step, Mr. Brittus.
19:39Fire step?
19:40I thought if we all got up here, and we each had one of these,
19:44we could shoot his tyres out.
19:46Colin, this is not guerrilla warfare.
19:48We're not trying to ambush a Nazi patrol.
19:50I've got the screwdriver, Mr. Brittus.
19:52One moment, please, Gavin.
19:54And I think we'd all feel a lot safer if you brought that thing down here.
19:57Trouble is, I can't get through to the pool.
19:58Gavin, please.
19:59Well, somebody's locked the main doors.
20:00Gavin, even the best of us can only deal with one thing at a time.
20:04Now, Colin, I want you to get this thing down to manageable size, please.
20:07Yes, but I...
20:08All we're trying to do is stop a man in an invalid car long enough for me to explain to
20:12him,
20:12quietly but firmly, that he has to leave.
20:14At the moment, we can't even see him coming.
20:16I thought we'd hear him.
20:18How can we possibly hear him, Colin?
20:19It's electric.
20:20That's the whole point.
20:21They don't make any noise.
20:23If we leave it like this, the first we're going to know about it
20:25is when he comes crashing through there at 30 miles an hour.
20:29You bastard!
20:30You won't get away with this.
20:32Mr. Brittus.
20:33I'll pay for this.
20:33Every penny a damage, you hear me?
20:35Mr. Brittus.
20:36Every penny.
20:36What is it, Colin?
20:38I don't think I've shot Gavin.
20:42I was a bit surprised.
20:43He's here and I gave a little jump and I think he must have gone off.
20:46Talk to me, Gavin.
20:46Say something.
20:47All right, all right, Tim.
20:48Let's see if we can't pull this thing out.
20:50I'm not sure that's wise, Mr. Brittus.
20:52He's got barbs.
20:53It's not blood.
20:54He's hurt.
20:54I don't think so.
20:56He's more sort of pinned.
20:57Oh, Gavin!
20:58All right, come on.
20:59Let's not get hysterical about this, Tim.
21:01Carol, I think you'd better call an ambulance and tell the police we've got a maniac loose
21:05in an invalid car.
21:06He's unconscious, Mr. Brittus.
21:07He could be bleeding to death.
21:09We can't just wait for an ambulance.
21:11All right, all right, all right, all right.
21:14I'll tell you what we'll do.
21:18Any sign of that ambulance yet, Carol?
21:20Not yet, Mr. Brittus, no.
21:22Maybe the boycott it is again, Mr. Brittus.
21:24No, it's not why we'll get you there soon, all right?
21:26Good grief.
21:26What are you doing?
21:27He got into the antenatal class, Mr. Brittus.
21:29Is this one of our doors?
21:30He drove straight in and ran over the demonstration doll.
21:34Mrs. Ferris went into labour with a shock.
21:36It is.
21:37It is, isn't it?
21:37It's a leisure centre door.
21:39I thought you ought to get to the hospital straight away.
21:41You can't go round ripping off doors just because a woman's going to have a baby.
21:44I don't see why she can't have a door.
21:46Gavin's got one.
21:49We didn't have much choice with Gavin.
21:51He was nailed to the damn thing.
21:54Couldn't you have carried her down and given her a fireman's lift or something?
21:57You can't sling a pregnant woman over your shoulder, Mr. Brittus.
22:02One jolt and she'll have the baby all down your back.
22:07Pundilus is here, Mr. Brittus.
22:09All right, come on, let's get them out.
22:10Gavin first.
22:11Come on.
22:12Come on.
22:13Blast those doors.
22:14Push.
22:15Push.
22:16Not you, Mrs. Ferris.
22:20Mr. Brittus, Mr. Brittus.
22:22Sorry.
22:22What is it, Carol?
22:22It's Linda.
22:23She's got a problem.
22:24She's got a problem?
22:25Where is she?
22:25Squash called Corridor.
22:31That's condensation, Linda.
22:33It's taking the paint off, Mr. Brittus.
22:35What?
22:35And it came from inside the carboys.
22:37What carboys?
22:38They must have got smashed when that man came through.
22:40You mean to say there was something inside those cardboard boxes?
22:43It was Colin's idea.
22:44He wanted to give it a bit of weight.
22:47Hang about.
22:48This is sodium hypochlorite for the pool.
22:50Well, I think it's all right now.
22:53What are you talking about?
22:54How could it be all right?
22:55Well, it seems to have seeped away.
23:01Well, we seem to have had a small spillage.
23:04I wonder what particular precautions we should take.
23:06About 35 gallons.
23:09No, we've already rung the police.
23:12Well, most of it seems to have sort of trickled away.
23:16If it comes into contact with what?
23:19That would make chlorine gas, would it?
23:22Well, it shouldn't be too difficult to find out.
23:24What particular symptoms should I look for?
23:27Coughing and vomiting.
23:38Excuse me.
23:40I've got 52 tinies here for an activity session.
23:43Not too early, are we?
23:51Right, Bill, I want you to help Ian and Ronnie
23:54get those injured people down the fire escape
23:56and into the ambulances, all right?
23:58Phil, organise breathing masks
23:59and check the rest of the building.
24:00Laura, set up a first aid station
24:02outside the emergency exit.
24:03Right.
24:04Linda, get me a full list of names and addresses
24:06of people leaving.
24:07Don't forget compensation forms and damage claims, all right?
24:09Patrick, make sure the car park's clear for the fire brigade.
24:12Debbie, get onto the hospital,
24:13get me a full list of casualties, all right?
24:15Colin?
24:16Yup.
24:16Put the kettle on.
24:21Now, Angie, when the chief inspector arrives,
24:23show him straight in.
24:25OK.
24:25I've filled him in for patient form, Mr. Brittis.
24:27What?
24:28Oh, yes.
24:30But to be honest,
24:32I don't know if I'm cut out for this sort of thing.
24:34What?
24:35Well, I thought working here would be about sport, you see.
24:38I didn't realise you'd have to know what to do
24:40if people were gassed or nailed to a door.
24:42Well, don't decide yet, Beverly.
24:44Think about it.
24:51I've thought about it, Mr. Brittis.
24:54And if you don't mind,
24:55I think I'll probably take that job at the chemist's.
25:07Not too disappointed, I hope, darling?
25:09Why?
25:10About this evening, the anniversary.
25:13No, we cancelled dinner and the show.
25:15Did you good?
25:16And told Pam...
25:17Hmm?
25:18...that we wouldn't be needing a babysitter.
25:21She knows.
25:24Sorry, darling.
25:25Still, there's been plenty more years, eh?
25:27I suppose they're well.
25:29This thing doesn't seem to be going up at all.
25:44I had a nice girl in for interview today.
25:47What's your job?
25:49Young, keen, just the sort we need, I thought.
25:52She didn't take it, did she?
25:54Well, in fairness to her, she didn't actually say no.
25:56I think I'll call her in the morning.
25:57Had that spark.
25:59It's like looking at myself ten years ago.
26:05This one's not going up, either.
26:14Now, I haven't forgotten anything, have I?
26:17Like what?
26:18I'm sure there was something else I meant to do.
26:21Just close the door and let's go home, Gordon.
26:25Stores!
26:27What would I do without you, darling?
26:28I never rang the builders.
26:30What?
26:31We've got three doors missing in the centre.
26:33Never mind, I'll deal with it in the morning.
26:36I thought we might stop off on the way home and pick up a takeaway.
26:39That's always nice.
26:40Fine.
26:42I wish I could remember what it was.
26:44I thought you just had.
26:46No, there was something else.
26:49Never mind, it'll come to me in the morning.
26:55I didn't even know what it was.
26:59I thought you were playing.
27:17I thought you were playing.
27:19I thought you were playing.
