00:06I
00:29Carol!
00:30It's vicious!
00:32Carol, Carol, Carol, this isn't going to help, is it?
00:35Well, that's...
00:36We admitted only yesterday we had a weight problem, didn't we, Carol?
00:40Yes, yes, yes, yes.
00:41And we said we wanted to do something about it, didn't we?
00:44Yes, Mr. Brittis.
00:44We said we wanted to be slim, lithe, attractive.
00:47Yes, Mr. Brittis.
00:48And is this a diet sheet that I gave you?
00:51No, Mr. Brittis.
00:52No, Mr. Brittis, it is not.
00:54Your wife's upstairs, Mr. Brittis.
00:56Oh, Laura.
00:57I've shown her into your office.
00:59Thank you, Laura.
01:00Perhaps you can inform Carol that sandwiches are made from corned beef.
01:03And what's this stuff?
01:04They're leaves, Mr. Brittis.
01:05Colin gave them to me.
01:06They're very tasty.
01:08Colin?
01:08Gave you what, exactly?
01:09Hmm.
01:10These.
01:12They're medicinal.
01:13I'm supposed to have a few leaves before each meal.
01:16Oh, Mr. Brittis, thank goodness I've found you.
01:18Colin, do I gather you're responsible for these?
01:21What?
01:21This barrow load of plants.
01:23Oh, those.
01:23You mean Roticularis scallopiorum, Mr. Brittis.
01:27Commonly known as figwort.
01:29Fascinating, Colin, but this is a leisure centre reception, not two gardens.
01:33Are you sure they're safe?
01:34They've been used since the time of the Druids, Laura.
01:37Cold Pepper speaks very highly of them.
01:39This is one of your hippie friends, is it, Colin?
01:42He's a 17th century herbalist, Mr. Brittis.
01:45He said that figwort was the ideal thing for women in Carols.
01:50Women like Carol.
01:52Well, Mr. Cold Pepper didn't have a reception desk to keep mud off, did he?
01:56Now, could someone take the...
02:02What's that smell?
02:03Well, it could be my shoe, Mr. Brittis.
02:08Colin, is that what I think it is?
02:11Quite possibly, Mr. Brittis.
02:12You see, that's what I came to tell you.
02:14There's this cow in the car park and...
02:15A cow?
02:16Oh, Gordon, there you are.
02:17With you in one moment, my darling.
02:19What cow?
02:20It's just the cow.
02:21It's tied to the back of that lundrawer.
02:23I wondered, were you free for a moment, Gordon?
02:25You'd have to bear with me, my darling,
02:26while I consult the council bylaws on this one.
02:28It won't take very long.
02:30I thought so.
02:31Come with me, Colin.
02:32Just a few minutes.
02:34Looking forward to it, my darling.
02:35Be right back.
02:36Perhaps Laura could entertain you in the cafeteria.
02:39Don't worry, Laura.
02:40I'm Brottenbrook.
02:43We have a problem, do we?
02:45Ah, no, it's all right, France.
02:47I've got a puncture just outside your entrance.
02:49Let's get in the sparrow and then I'll be on my way.
02:51And we're planning to leave this animal here while we do it, are we?
02:55Well, yes, I didn't think.
02:56No, no, no.
02:57Quite impossible, I'm afraid.
02:59Is it?
03:01Three major stumbling blocks spring to mind.
03:04One, this is a council building and under existing bylaws,
03:07I'm legally entitled to shoot that animal for trespass.
03:10Two, if you look down, you'll notice that you've parked over a yellow line,
03:15thereby rather selfishly occupying two spaces in a car park specifically designed for customers of the leisure centre.
03:21I'm sorry, I thought that...
03:23And thirdly, and this of course is my main concern, there's the health hazard.
03:27But what?
03:28Quite apart from any diseases your animal may or may not have brought in itself, there's that.
03:35That's not a health hazard, that's a cow pat.
03:37No one.
03:39Would that we could all be so sure.
03:41Children use this centre, you know, quite often young children.
03:45Suppose some toddler mistook that for a pudding and ate it.
03:49I'm sorry, I hadn't thought of that.
03:51Those, if I may say so, are the words on many a tombstone.
03:55I hadn't thought of that.
03:59Now, perhaps I can make a suggestion.
04:01I can't wait.
04:02Patrick, my deputy here will take the animal round to the back of the building out of harm's way.
04:07It's a very big animal, Mr Bridges.
04:09Do it, will you, Colin?
04:10In the meantime, I should get one of my staff to bring you out a bucket and some disinfectant.
04:21Carol, I thought we'd agree to move these.
04:22Yes, Mr Bridges.
04:24Patrick?
04:25Yes, we need your skills out in the car park, I'm afraid.
04:28A cow pat.
04:30Well, I'm telling you because I'd like you to move it.
04:32I suggest some water and some toilet freshener.
04:35Yes, I know you're the badminton coach and a very good one, Patrick,
04:39but someone's got to move this cow pat.
04:41Because I'm the manager and that is not the tone of voice I expect that...
04:44Hello?
04:46Hello?
04:49They're still here, Carol.
04:51Sorry?
04:51The plants.
04:52Yes, I'm not supposed to lift anything heavy while I'm...
04:56It's my back.
04:57We'll get someone for the restroom to help you.
05:00Yes.
05:01Linda?
05:02Hello, Linda.
05:04Could you bring some disinfectant and a bucket down to reception?
05:08Nothing serious, Linda.
05:09I'll explain when you get to you, alright?
05:11Good girl.
05:15Carol?
05:15I thought I'd do a bit of tidying first, Mr. British.
05:17Now, if you don't mind, please, Carol.
05:26Laura?
05:28Yes?
05:29Do you know we've been rather concerned about Carol putting on weight recently?
05:32Yes, Mr. British?
05:33It strikes me there might be another explanation.
05:35That book of Collins.
05:37It was figwort, wasn't it?
05:38What was?
05:39The plant he's been given Carol.
05:41Here we are.
05:42Figwort.
05:43Flutches of the nose.
05:44Dropsy.
05:45I knew it.
05:46Being of Benizen when given to woman with child.
05:50There.
05:50That's odd.
05:51Very odd.
05:51Her husband's been in Spain for the last year.
05:53No, no, no.
05:54I meant the book.
05:54It actually says, when given to a woman with child, who...
05:59Who?
06:00The next page is missing.
06:02Laura, I think you're missing the point.
06:03What I'm saying is that Carol is rather more than overweight.
06:06Yeah, yeah, yeah.
06:07What do you think?
06:08I think Carol is expecting a baby, Mr. British.
06:11Right.
06:12Carol?
06:13Over here, please.
06:15Over here, please, now.
06:23Laura thinks you might be pregnant.
06:25Is this true?
06:27Yeah.
06:27I...
06:28Yeah, yeah.
06:39Gavin?
06:40Yes?
06:41I've got the photos.
06:43Photos?
06:43From Bill and Jack's anniversary.
06:45I've just picked them up.
06:45Oh, yeah.
06:46I've got a couple of nice ones of you.
06:47I thought we might get them framed.
06:49Oh, okay.
06:50Ooh.
07:03So, Carol, before we start, I want you to know we're only here to help.
07:10Your sexual morals, Carol, or lack of them, are entirely your own.
07:15Your own business.
07:16If you want to sleep around, it's up to you.
07:19I have no intention of using my position as your employer to lecture you about the things
07:24I personally hold dear, such as fidelity, family values, loyalty.
07:29You're very kind, Mr. British.
07:32As I say, Carol, we're only here to help.
07:36Though, I might add, you've really dropped yourself in it this time, haven't you?
07:39We were going to ask Carol if she needed any medical help, weren't we, Mr. British?
07:43Quite right, Laura.
07:45What does a doctor say, Carol?
07:46Well, I don't know.
07:48I haven't actually seen him yet.
07:49I've been meaning to make an appointment.
07:52You haven't seen a doctor?
07:53How many months is it?
07:5536 weeks, Mr. British.
07:57What does that mean?
07:58It means about two weeks to go.
08:00Eight and a half months pregnant.
08:02You haven't seen a doctor?
08:03I suppose, I hoped it would go away.
08:08Number one, see a doctor.
08:11Right, what about the father?
08:12I don't know.
08:14Will he stand by you?
08:16Can he afford maintenance?
08:18No, I mean, I don't know who it is.
08:22Well, can you narrow it down to two or three possibilities?
08:26There was only one, Mr. British.
08:28I just don't know who he was.
08:31How could you not know?
08:35What for you two?
08:36Oh, thanks.
08:37You'll need it, Tim.
08:38Your interview's in half an hour.
08:39What?
08:40With British.
08:40He's just found out about Carol and he wants to interview all the men.
08:44All of us?
08:46What for?
08:47He's looking for the father.
08:49It says here we're to bring along any diaries, journals, personal papers and bank statements
08:55relating to the period between December 15th of last year and January 14th of this.
08:59Please be prompt and on time.
09:01Oh, he's very determined on this one, Gavin.
09:04That's why we have...
09:05Ta-da!
09:07Oh, no, not the lie detector again.
09:09By itself.
09:10But it doesn't even work.
09:12Remember when someone let the air out of his ties and he said everyone was lying?
09:15Well, we were, weren't we?
09:17I wouldn't worry too much about the lie detector.
09:19You've got blood tests tomorrow and hypnotist on Thursday.
09:23Why does he want to see the women as well?
09:25Well, we get a reward.
09:26You know, if we can give any information.
09:29Oh, which reminds me.
09:30Would you mind if I said I'd seen you holding hands?
09:32Who is?
09:33Well, Carol.
09:35You haven't, have you?
09:35Yeah.
09:36No, it's just that I'm a bit short this month.
09:38I could do with the 20 quid.
09:41I don't really need some more milk.
09:42Oh, I'll get that.
09:43So, what time does this all begin, then?
09:51You're not going to believe this.
09:53How do people do it, Laura?
09:55Do what, Mr British?
09:57How does anyone contemplate bringing a child into the world with the words,
10:00I suppose I hoped it would go away.
10:04People's lives don't always run to plan, Mr British.
10:07Children, Laura, are a one glimpse of eternity.
10:10Aren't they just?
10:12To produce a new life in one's own image,
10:14to pass on one's own genetic abilities,
10:16to make sure the lying doesn't die out.
10:19I tell you, Laura, if only I had children.
10:22You've got three, Mr British.
10:25Three wonderful boys, Laura,
10:27and I'm very proud to be a father to them.
10:29But they're not mine.
10:30They're, in fact, Helen's from a previous relationship.
10:33Mrs British was married before.
10:35Twice.
10:36I'm afraid little Helen hasn't had much luck with me.
10:39No.
10:41Still, Carol's our problem at the moment,
10:43and the big question is, what are we going to do?
10:45Mr British!
10:50Sorry, Mr British.
10:51Well, you'd better come quickly.
10:53It's gone.
10:54Let's take this one step at a time, shall we, Colin?
10:56What's gone?
10:57The clow.
10:57I took it round the back of the building,
10:59and I blocked it in with a sort of corral of cows.
11:02But it's disappeared.
11:04That Mr Franklin's furious.
11:06Well, frankly, that's his problem.
11:08Aye, but it's not just the cow, Mr British.
11:09It's carrying this very valuable calf.
11:12Unfortunately, we have other pregnant livestock
11:14to worry about at the moment, Colin.
11:16Sorry?
11:17Mr British has just found out that cow's expecting a baby.
11:20Oh!
11:20And the big question is, what are we going to do?
11:22Have you tried the Bible, Mr British?
11:25I think it's a little bit late for that, Colin.
11:28No, no, no. I mean, you can ask it for advice.
11:31Can you?
11:32Oh, yes.
11:32Like when I was wondering whether I should come and work here.
11:36I just shut my eyes, opened the Bible, pointed down, and there it was.
11:41The story of Balaam's donkey.
11:45Right.
11:46You see, God was telling me to get on my ass and start moving.
11:51Well, it's very reassuring to know you were sent here by divine guidance, Colin.
11:55No, no, no. You should try it, Mr British.
11:58You see, if you just let it fall open, you point with your finger down at the page,
12:06and whatever it says, that's your message for today.
12:11And here at begat Ahaz, who begat Jehu, who begat Nabal.
12:18I think we'll get all our advice from the social services, if you don't mind, Colin.
12:22Laura, could you phone the Hell Centre?
12:23Yes, I'll do that right away, Mr British.
12:29Which do you want first, the good news or the bad?
12:31Julie.
12:32Well, they've found the cow.
12:34The bad news is nobody knows how to get it back down the stairs.
12:38What?
12:39It's outside the squash courts.
12:41On the first floor? That's a spiral staircase.
12:44Never mind. I'm sure you'll think of something.
12:47Oh, Gordon, have you got a moment yet?
12:48Sorry, darling. Bit of a panic. Get Julie to do your coffee.
12:51Thank you, Gordon.
12:53Oh, there's a cow loose on the first floor.
12:55Oh.
12:57Can I get you anything?
12:58No, no, I'm fine.
13:00Plucky little Tabitha's just buying a first haberdashery shop in Derbyshire.
13:04Oh, good. I'll make it a jug of coffee.
13:09Ah, Linda.
13:10You'll never guess what I've just seen, Mr British.
13:12Where's the cow?
13:14In there.
13:17How did he know?
13:19I suppose that's why he's the manager.
13:24Good grief.
13:25What is going on in here? Get it out.
13:27Get it out.
13:30Now, look here, Mr Franklin.
13:32I don't know what your game is, but I want you and Buttercup here, out of my building, out of
13:37my car.
13:38What are you doing?
13:39She's gone into labour.
13:41What?
13:42I think it's a breach.
13:44You better call a vet.
13:45A vet?
13:46You can't have a carp in here.
13:48This is a squash court.
13:49You got a better idea?
13:51Of course.
13:52You could...
13:53You could...
13:55I suggest you call a vet.
13:58Because if I lose this calf, I will personally sue you for every penny you possess.
14:09Linda, get me a phone book, will you?
14:17Oh, Gordon.
14:18Sorry, darling. Quick phone call to make.
14:20Look, I don't mean to nag, Gordon, but we really should talk.
14:23Mr Garrick, it's the leisure centre here.
14:27I have a cow about to give birth in one of my squash courts.
14:30Oh, God.
14:31Well, the farmer seems to think it's an emergency.
14:34Would you?
14:35I'd be very grateful.
14:36Thanks, bye.
14:38Darling, you haven't the faintest idea.
14:41Is everything all right?
14:43Oh, wonderful.
14:44The first shot was such a success, she's bought two more.
14:47Though I'm a bit worried about the insurance.
14:51Oh, no.
14:52What?
14:53Oh, poor girl.
14:54If I'd like to square one.
14:57Have a doughnut.
15:01Mr British, I think you should...
15:02I'm sorry, Laura.
15:03Calpepper will have to wait.
15:03Mr British, this isn't Colin's copy.
15:05I got a friend to get a copy from the library to see what it said on the missing page.
15:09Look, Laura, we have a crisis on in the squash court.
15:11I still think you should read this.
15:13It's being of particular benison when given to woman with child who has gone out of her time.
15:21What's that supposed to mean?
15:22It means this is a herb for women who are overdue, Mr British.
15:26It sends them into labour.
15:28That explains it.
15:30Colin.
15:30What?
15:31Colin was bleating on about someone eating all his fig words.
15:34It was the cow.
15:36That's why it's doing it in my squash court.
15:38It's Colin's fault.
15:39I don't think that's the main problem, Mr British.
15:42Don't you?
15:43Have you ever seen a cow give birth?
15:44Mr British, I think the real problem is how many leaves did Carol have?
15:48Carol?
15:50Carol.
15:54Tim, have you seen Carol?
15:55Not since she went to the pool.
15:56The pool?
15:56Is she all right?
15:57I think so.
15:58She said she was feeling restless and wanted to work off some excess energy with a swim.
16:01You'd better come with us.
16:17How are you feeling, Carol?
16:19Everything okay?
16:20Are you all right?
16:20Are you Carol?
16:21Yes.
16:21I think the baby's coming.
16:23What, in the pool?
16:25My water's gone.
16:28Are you sure, Carol?
16:29There's a lot of water already in there.
16:31Is it going wrong, Carol?
16:33I've just got to get out of this costume.
16:35Don't let her undress, for heaven's sake, Laura.
16:37It's probably the only thing keeping it in.
16:40Sorry I'm wet, Mr British.
16:42I'll get you as quick as I could.
16:43Colin?
16:44Now, the main thing I'm going to need is plenty of hot water and all the towels you can find.
16:48Hello, Carol.
16:49Uh, Colin?
16:50Yes, Mr British?
16:51What do you think you're doing?
16:53I can do it, Mr British, honestly.
16:54You are not delivering a baby, Colin.
16:57I've been on the course.
16:58I've got a certificate.
16:59I don't care how qualified you are, Colin.
17:01No baby in my centre is being brought into this world by a man who's had a septic hand for
17:06the past two years.
17:08Just let me.
17:09Just this once.
17:10I can do it better than any of you.
17:12No one is going to do it, Colin.
17:14I'm going to call an ambulance and you are going to help Gavin pull Carol out of the pool.
17:18On second thoughts, I'm putting you in charge of keeping the children away, alright?
17:22Tim?
17:22Yes, Mr British?
17:23I want you to help Gavin pull Carol out of the pool and get her into...
17:27The sauna's free.
17:28Right, the sauna.
17:29Quiet as you can.
17:30We must avoid any undue attention, alright?
17:32I'm like...
17:32Ah!
17:33Ah!
17:35Ah!
17:37Carol?
17:38Sorry, Mr British.
17:40Just get around here.
17:44Oh, God, would this be a better time?
17:47Emergency services?
17:49Not a better time.
17:50An ambulance, please.
17:52Be right with you, my darling.
17:54Yes, we need an ambulance immediately at the leisure centre, please.
17:57Excuse me.
17:59Fifteen minutes?
18:00I'm sorry, that's quite impossible.
18:02She'll have given birth by then.
18:04Well, I suggest you go and find out.
18:06Excuse me.
18:07I'm sorry, you'll have to wait.
18:08He's got an emergency.
18:10Right, thanks.
18:11I think that's why I'm here.
18:13What?
18:14If you'd like to show me where the cow is.
18:16Do you mind?
18:19Cow?
18:19I'm the vet.
18:21Vet?
18:22Vet!
18:23Perfect!
18:24Well, not perfect, but close.
18:26Very close.
18:26Come with me, I'll spray another wire.
18:28Darling, could you man the desk?
18:30What?
18:30Could you take over till I get someone else?
18:32Oh, right.
18:33And don't sell any tickets for the sauna.
18:35No.
18:35And we're having a clamp down on black plimsolls.
18:38They leave marks.
18:39Right.
18:40And don't forget to check for chewing gum.
18:44What's happened to that vet?
18:46I'm sure he won't be long now.
18:48He said he'd be here in ten minutes.
18:49If she doesn't get expert attention in the next twenty minutes, where's he got to?
18:53Yes, sir.
18:55I said to her, now look, I'm a gynaecologist, not a blacksmith.
18:59Oi!
19:01Yes?
19:02Are you a gynaecologist?
19:03Yes.
19:04Then you've got to help.
19:05Yes, well perhaps you'd like to ring and make an appointment with my secretary.
19:08No, no, no.
19:09No, I need you in there.
19:11Now.
19:11It's a breach.
19:12What?
19:20It's a cow.
19:22Well, it can't be all that different.
19:26Look, unfortunately, you see, it's a question of medical ethics.
19:29Now, I cannot interfere with another doctor's patient.
19:33No, no, no, no.
19:34You, you, you don't understand.
19:36That animal has just won best to breed at the Royal.
19:39It's worth a...
19:40Okay.
19:41I'll give you 250 pounds now.
19:44And the same again after a safe delivery.
19:48Um...
19:49Something's just cropped up, Peter.
19:51It's a good game.
19:52Uh...
19:53I'll see you next week.
19:55Yeah?
19:55Yeah.
20:00Ah, right.
20:02Now, let's have a look, shall we?
20:04Is there anything I can do?
20:06Oh, that's really kind of you.
20:09Linda.
20:10Yes, perhaps you'd like to go down to my car and get my bag.
20:14It's the blue Mercedes.
20:15It's a mistake.
20:22Hello.
20:23I'm Dr Newcombe.
20:26Breathe.
20:29Panic.
20:30All right, Carol.
20:32There's nothing to worry about.
20:33We've got you adopted.
20:34Roger.
20:35Now, just you do what he tells you, all right?
20:38And keep the noise down.
20:40Remember, there's people outside trying to enjoy a swim.
20:43All right, Sydney.
20:44She's all yours.
20:44And watch your hands.
20:45She's bitten one of us already.
20:48Mr Brissett.
20:50Is he all right?
20:51What do you mean?
20:52The doctor.
20:53He's a bit...
20:54Have you seen his fingernails?
20:55As it happens, Laura, he isn't a doctor.
20:58He's what?
20:59I don't want Carol to find out.
21:00He's a vet.
21:02A vet?!
21:03Keep your boys down, Lor.
21:04We don't have any choice.
21:05The ambulance can't get here for another ten minutes.
21:07Oh, my God!
21:08Poor Carol!
21:09Look, he's top of the range.
21:10He's done two folds for a Saudi Arabian prince already this morning.
21:14Anyway, it's the best we can do.
21:16Oh, Sydney.
21:19How's it going?
21:20Well, she's in advanced labour.
21:23You mean she's going to have it here?
21:24Quite possibly.
21:25Right.
21:25What do we do?
21:26What?
21:27Well, what do you normally do first?
21:29Normally.
21:29I'm a vet.
21:31Normally, I spit out a bale of straw and get ready with a knotted rope.
21:35I'll get some towels, then, shall I?
21:36Just in case.
21:36Good thinking, Laura.
21:38Sydney, I was wondering, would it help if we got her up in all fours?
21:43Well, she's the other way round.
21:44It might help you get your bearings.
21:46I think I can manage.
21:48Thank you, Mr. British.
21:49We'll leave you to it, then, Sydney.
21:52Carol, just you behave yourself.
21:54Remember what I said earlier?
21:56Pain is all in the mind.
21:57Thank you, Mr. British!
22:06Oh, it is wonderful, this second movement, isn't it?
22:19Are you going to be long?
22:22We did put from 3.30, you know.
22:29Is she all right?
22:30Physically fine, Gavin.
22:32Otherwise, rather letting the side down, I'm afraid.
22:34What do you mean?
22:34Non-stop moaning and complaining, Tim.
22:36Twice for the go in there and warn her to mind the language.
22:39It can't be easy for her, Mr. British.
22:40I mean, she's no anaesthetic.
22:41It's not drugs she needs, Tim, is it?
22:43Isn't it?
22:44It's the baby's father she needs.
22:45If he was in there now, mopping her brow, holding her hand,
22:48murmuring a few words of encouragement,
22:51I'd say that'd be worth more than a hundred anaesthetics.
22:53Yes, I'm sure you're right, Mr. British.
22:54We don't know who the father is, though, do we, Mr. British?
22:57Not yet, Gavin. Not yet.
23:00Nearly there.
23:01Does anyone have a box of matches?
23:02Matches? What's happened?
23:03His pipe's gone out.
23:05He says, can you turn the sauna down a bit?
23:07Would you, Gavin?
23:11It's days like this when I have a sneaking nostalgia for the old days,
23:15when the girl's father would march round, stick a shotgun under someone's nose
23:19and march him off down the church.
23:21They didn't need anaesthetics in those days, I'll tell you.
23:24Has she really no idea who it is?
23:26Just that it's someone from this centre, Tim?
23:28Could be anyone.
23:29Could be either of you two.
23:31I don't think so, Mr. British.
23:33We'll soon see what the hypnotist has to say about that, shall we?
23:36It's a boy!
23:41Isn't he beautiful?
23:43Yes, very satisfactory.
23:46I couldn't have done it without you, of course.
23:50I didn't do anything, really.
23:51Oh, no, no, no. You have very steady hands.
23:56Well, how about we celebrate tonight?
23:58Little dinner.
23:59Well, I...
24:00Oh, no, no, no, no, don't worry.
24:02You'll be perfectly safe.
24:04I'm a doctor.
24:09I'm sorry, Helen. I can take over now.
24:11Oh, is everything all right?
24:13Oh, yes, yes, she's had a little boy.
24:15Oh, my God. I saw the ambulance men go through.
24:18Um, Laura, I wonder, could you give this to my husband?
24:20Yes, of course.
24:21It's just to tell him it's fish cakes for supper and I'm pregnant.
24:25Your what?
24:26Well, after today's offence, I thought the news had rather lost its novelty value,
24:30but there's someone ought to tell him.
24:32Helen, that's wonderful.
24:33Wonderful!
24:34Is it?
24:35Yes, I suppose so.
24:37I just keep worrying that maybe it's genetic.
24:40What?
24:40Well, you know, Gordon.
24:42I mean, what if the babies turn out like him?
24:46Babies?
24:47Oh, yes, you might mention that as well.
24:48It's twins.
24:50Gosh!
24:51Yes, I knew it would be.
24:52They've always been in Gordon's family.
24:54Well, the last four generations, anyway.
24:56So much of a natural selection, eh?
24:59Twins.
25:01It's twins!
25:02What?
25:03You shouldn't have left when you did, Laura.
25:05It was another one just after you'd gone.
25:07I love her!
25:08Good job.
25:08We had that vet.
25:09He says he always checks for that sort of thing.
25:11Something to do with Labradors.
25:14Oh, this is the one I helped with, darling.
25:16I saw the whole thing.
25:19I even held one of the towels.
25:22Unbelievable.
25:23Best thing I've ever seen.
25:25If you go bring him out to the ambulance, Mr Brittus.
25:27Right, just coming, Sydney.
25:29Can you imagine the father missing a thing like that, eh?
25:35Twins!
25:35What a coincidence!
25:37Not really.
25:39Oh, it must be.
25:41It was an accident, Laura.
25:44What?
25:45But...
25:45Mr Brittus, surely he wouldn't.
25:48You remember the New Year's Eve party at Julie's?
25:51The fancy dress?
25:52Yes, well...
25:53I went as a tiger.
25:57Oh, God!
26:00So did Carol.
26:01Exactly.
26:03Gordon's always been very sentimental about tiger skins.
26:06It's something to do with the car seats on his first hillman.
26:11He thought it was you?
26:13Yeah.
26:13I mean, upstairs, all that note business and everything.
26:15Yes, yes.
26:15I mean, I only found out a couple of months later.
26:17It was after one of our marriage guidance sessions,
26:19and Gordon said that New Year had been the most wonderful night of his life.
26:23Well, I knew something must have happened.
26:27He doesn't know.
26:28You haven't told him.
26:29Well, I thought about that for a long time,
26:31but in the end, I thought, if I was Carol, I'd rather not know.
26:38What a day, eh?
26:39Yes.
26:40Could you check all's well in the squash court, Laura?
26:43Would you believe, my darling?
26:44We just had a little calf up there.
26:46Tell him I'll be up to sea at any second, Laura, all right?
26:49Yes, Mr. British.
26:50Please.
26:50It's extraordinary, isn't it?
26:53Do you know I actually envy that girl?
26:55Who?
26:56Carol.
26:56Oh, yes.
26:57She's got no home, no money, and no job now,
27:00because obviously I have to dismiss her.
27:03But for all that, I envy her.
27:05To bring new life into the world,
27:08it's like looking down the tunnel of time.
27:09There's nothing like it, Helen.
27:11When you know your own race is run,
27:13the fruit of your loins is down on the track,
27:15waiting to take on the baton of the great 4x400 of life.
27:19Yes.
27:20Having your own flesh and blood to carry on the dream.
27:22That's what's important, Helen, the dream.
27:24A dream that one day...
27:26Gordon.
27:27Yes, my love?
27:28Sit down, Gordon.
27:33Now, Gordon, there's something I've got to tell you.
27:38It's not fish cakes again, is it?
27:40No.
27:53And hereat begat Ahaz,
27:56who begat Jehu,
27:58who begat Naaman.
28:01And his children were numbered as the sands of the desert
28:04and the stars of the sky.
28:07And, lo, they multiplied
28:09and were very fruitful
28:11and went among the nations
28:13until they covered the face of the earth.
28:46and oooW fosse means
28:46and lived so much in hisấp.
28:46Oh, that's right, Greg.
