00:06MUSIC
00:28SONGS OF PRAISE
00:38Newly rebuilt after the tragic fire which destroyed it last summer
00:45Hey, where do you think you're going?
00:48Well, I'm afraid you can't, not these toilets
00:53You're here to sing hymns, aren't you?
00:55Yes
00:55Yes, well in that case you use the facilities that have been arranged for you
00:59You go through the gymnasium, across the car park
01:01And you'll find some toilets just on the far side of the rugby field, all right?
01:08Hello, can you hear that?
01:10Yes, right
01:11Oh, Mr British
01:12Sorry about the delay, Pamela
01:14May I take this opportunity of extending a very warm welcome to our leisure centre
01:19If there's anything I can do to help the day go more smoothly, you only have to say
01:24Well, thank you, actually
01:25We were rather hoping to be started by now
01:27But nobody seems to be allowed in
01:29No
01:29We do have to practice singing the hymns
01:31Yes, of course, Pam
01:33And the door shall be open just as soon as I have staff available to marshal people's behaviour
01:37Ah, these two gentlemen are very kindly following him
01:40Unfortunately, I've got to take them away
01:42A special staff meeting, you see?
01:44A staff meeting?
01:45What about our interview?
01:47Looking forward to it enormously, Pam
01:49Can we put it on a 20-minute hold, though?
01:52Tim, go ahead this way
01:54Pat
01:55Could you make sure your people don't use the toilets?
01:59We've just had the centre rebuilt
02:01We're a bit concerned about vandalism, all right?
02:06Hello, Carol
02:07Hello, Laura
02:07Isn't it wonderful to be back?
02:09Everything's so new and shiny
02:10Yes
02:11Children don't mind
02:12What?
02:12Moving back into drawers
02:13No, no, I think they're looking forward to it
02:16Which reminds me
02:17I ought to unpack them, wouldn't I?
02:20Name one of these
02:21I've packed them separately this time, Laura
02:23We've had a few squabbles recently, I'm afraid
02:26Well, they should be the ones with the air holes
02:27Like this
02:29Oh, well done, thank you
02:31This is Ben
02:36And these must be the twins
02:38Which?
02:39The one marked cat food
02:41And, er, I don't know, this one's the microwave
02:43There you go, Ben
02:45Morning everybody, you have all set in a big day
02:47Helen, I didn't think you were coming
02:49Oh, not the service, no
02:50But I'm being interviewed
02:52Well, at least Gordon is
02:53But I have to be there too
02:54We're a team
02:56I thought you always avoided things like this
02:58Ta-da!
03:00Today I can do anything
03:02Good
03:03What are they?
03:04No idea
03:04Got them from Jonathan's chemistry teacher
03:06He sells them outside the school gates
03:09I suppose he's raising money for school funds or something
03:12I think they're meant to give you a bit of a sort of lift
03:15Actually, they give you a buzz like sticking two fingers in the main socket
03:18Best 20 quid ever spent
03:19Well, they seem to be working
03:21They do, don't they?
03:22Only trouble is, they only last for about half an hour
03:24After that, you fall asleep
03:26So as long as Gordon's not late
03:28We can always hope
03:29Is that Mr Ruttis' book?
03:31Yes
03:32He seems to think Pam Rhodes might like a signed copy
03:35I only read the bits they serialised in the paper
03:37But I found them most uplifting
03:39Did you?
03:40You didn't like it?
03:42It was probably my mood
03:43But I couldn't sort of get into it, you know
03:45Oh, he's led such an interesting life, hasn't he?
03:47Fires, drownings, explosions
03:51I can't think of anyone else who's done all the things he has
03:54I don't think any of us can
03:56I'm all in favour of helping them, Gavin
03:58But let's do it in an orderly fashion, shall we?
04:01Staff room, everyone
04:02Got a lot to organise
04:03Gordon, Gordon, what about our interview?
04:06Looking forward to it enormously, my darling
04:08Rather urgent staff briefing first
04:10Laura, two minutes
04:14Um, Carol
04:15Could I have a glass of water?
04:17Yes, Mr Ruttis
04:18So, our problem is that shortly
04:21We will have some 800 people
04:23Rehearsing hymns in our gymnasium
04:25All of whom will want to use the resources
04:27Of this leisure centre
04:29And our job is to make sure they don't
04:32I'm sorry I'm late, Mr Ruttis
04:34All right, Colin
04:34I've had a bit of trouble with this new medication
04:36I'm taking for tension and stress
04:38Colin
04:39Basically, it's a muscle relaxant, you see
04:41But unfortunately, it has tended to relax muscles
04:44That in an ideal world
04:45Shouldn't relax at all
04:47You can see what I mean
04:48We've got an awful lot to get through
04:51Right-o, Mr Ruttis
04:52Right, now
04:53The most important thing is to contain the public
04:56In this area here
04:57Which is sealed off by the corridors marked in red
05:01Now, just in case anyone breaks through
05:03I want roving patrols in the areas marked in yellow
05:07And then
05:08What is it, Gabby?
05:09It's just a thought, Mr Ruttis
05:11But if 800 people really want to use the centre
05:13Why don't we let them?
05:16What, allow them into the centre?
05:17Yes
05:18And we could make a lot of money
05:20Especially in the canteen
05:21Tell him someone, please
05:26Laura
05:27Oh, um
05:28Mr Ruttis is worried about the pigeonholes, Gavin
05:30We're talking about public safety, Gavin
05:34We cannot allow the public into the centre
05:36Until our communication system is in full working order
05:39We could take away the toilet paper, Mr Ruttis
05:42Well
05:42That way
05:44If anyone broke through the patrols
05:46And tried to use a toilet
05:47They'd get a real surprise
05:50If I may say so, Mr Ruttis
05:51Some of us would find that
05:53Nobody's taking anything away, Linda
05:55This is songs of praise
05:56We're not conducting a war
05:57We want people to feel welcome
05:59All right, over to you, Laura
06:02OK
06:03The actual recording starts tonight at 6 o'clock
06:07That's 1800 hours
06:09Yeah
06:10But Mr Ruttis wants us all on our seats an hour and a half earlier
06:13For a fingernail and underwear inspection
06:16What?
06:17Did I say that?
06:19No, no, I think I made that one up
06:22Right, now we will all be sitting here
06:24And the seat's marked in green
06:25So does that mean we're on the front row?
06:27Yes, that's right
06:28Oh, great
06:29Give me the card, please, Timothy
06:33You know what I'm talking about
06:40May I just remind you all
06:42That we are representing the entire leisure industry
06:45On a premiere national television broadcast
06:48We want people to switch on and say
06:50What a fine bunch of people they are
06:54Athletic, dignified, attractive
06:55Mr Ruttis, I'm sorry
06:57I can't seem to see my name in the front row, Mr Ruttis
07:00No, unfortunately, Carol, we ran out of seats
07:03You and Colin will be sitting there
07:08That's outside, is it?
07:10Yes, Colin
07:11We'll leave the doors open
07:12So you'll be able to hear most of what goes on
07:14All right?
07:16Laura, if you'd like to give out the badges, please
07:17Now, I'd ask you to wear these in a prominent position
07:21So that if you are on shot, as they say in TV land
07:25Is that what I think it is, Carol?
07:29I'm sorry, Mr Ruttis
07:29Take it out, please
07:30She can't seem to settle in her new drawer
07:32It could even smell of the new paintwork, I think
07:34Get outside, Carol, please
07:36Yes, Mrs Ruttis
07:39I don't think the BBC will allow us to wear these
07:42Not before the watershed
07:44It's just a harmless bit of advertising for Whitbury, Julie
07:46Oh, it's Whitbury, is it?
07:49What?
07:49It's the printers, I'm afraid, Mr Ruttis
07:51They've put an S instead of a W
07:58Life isn't perfect for any of us
08:00So if you can just bend your knees and there's a good girl
08:04Oh, Councillor Druggette
08:06Welcome to Whitbury Newtown Letter Centre
08:08And how may I help you?
08:09Is it my imagination or are the doors all locked?
08:11Yes, they are
08:12It's such a shame
08:13We so wanted to be open by today
08:15I think after being closed for a season and spending three and a half million pounds
08:19Most of us were
08:20Is there any particular reason this time?
08:23I'm afraid it's the pigeonholes
08:26Apparently they are not working properly
08:30Yes, could I see you, Mr Bruttis?
08:32I'm afraid he's very busy organising songs of phrase at the moment
08:35But I'm sure he'll have time to explain it to you
08:38Communication, Jack, is the basis of my management style
08:41If my staff don't know what they're doing
08:43Oh, quite
08:44So, let's imagine I've just issued a detailed warning to them
08:49About what to do in the event of, say, an acid spillage in the pool pump area
08:54Yes
08:54This is what happens
09:00What? What happens?
09:01The fault is intermittent, Jack
09:03But if you'll wait, you'll see what I mean
09:07While we're waiting, Gordon
09:09I wonder if I could ask you why you've cancelled the army
09:12The army?
09:14600 men from the parachute regiment wanting to pay to use this place for fitness training
09:19While their new barracks is built
09:20I gather you said no
09:22I had no choice, Jack
09:24No choice?
09:25Jack, I'm as loyal a supporter of the armed forces as any man
09:29A more upstanding group of her majesty servants you couldn't ask for
09:33But, as I said to the colonel
09:35To your average Joe tabloid squash court
09:38The army is sadly perceived as a bunch of drunken squaddies marauding the streets
09:44You said that
09:45I did
09:46I said, Colonel, if we let your men in here, we lose the families
09:51We lose the ordinary decent people who won't feel comfortable bringing their wives and daughters
09:59There we are, Jack
10:01On safety grounds alone, I cannot allow the centre to be open until the builders have rectified this fault
10:07Monday week, they say
10:09I'll set you in the weights room, Mr British
10:10Right, Laura
10:12Jack, if you'll excuse me, I have to go for an interview on nationwide television
10:17Laura, perhaps a capsule like cup of coffee?
10:19Sure
10:19Thank you
10:2120p, please, Jack
10:26I'm glad to see you two have made it up
10:28It was my fault entirely, Laura
10:30Hardly
10:31No, no
10:32Next time he shouts, oi, you
10:35I shan't waste any time thinking what's he on about now
10:38I shall simply step back before the scaffolding pole lands on my foot
10:44I see he's showing you the pigeonholes
10:46Yes
10:48He has to go, Laura
10:50You're not going to try and fire him again, are you?
10:52No
10:53No, the son's get behind Gordon campaign
10:56Not that one on the head
10:57Well, he's not going to leave any other way
10:59No
11:00Managing this centre is all he's ever wanted
11:02Milk?
11:03It's his dream
11:05Unless we give him a bigger dream
11:08Is that possible?
11:12I only heard about it last week
11:17What do you think?
11:20Golly
11:23I'm here in the weights room of Whitbury Newtown Leisure Centre
11:26with the manager, Gordon Brittus
11:28Now, he tells me that there's nothing that he and his wife Helen enjoy more than
11:31coming down here and working out together
11:34Not at all, Pam
11:36Now, Gordon, you came to national attention last year
11:40when your centre blew up and you rescued three small children
11:43He got a medal
11:45And you've written a book about your experiences
11:47I believe
11:49The profits of which are to go to the charity that you started
11:52Leisure in the Third World
11:54Yes, indeed, Pam
11:56There are parts of our lovely planet
11:58that have never even seen a vaulting horse
12:00And my plan
12:01You're sending us from Twirlers to Mozambique
12:04The whole crew flew out from Stansted
12:06Mrs. Brittus, Mrs. Brittus
12:07Would you mind if I just spoke to your husband first
12:10and we'll come and talk to you later?
12:12Sorry
12:13We'll go from the second paragraph
12:16Now, Gordon, you came to national attention last year
12:19when you're...
12:20Sorry, Petra
12:21Sorry
12:27There's more
12:27We'll be all right in a minute
12:32OK
12:34We'll go again
12:36Now, this book that you've written
12:38you're going to give all of the proceeds
12:40to the charity that you...
12:41Thank goodness I've found you, Mr. Brittus
12:42There's been a terrible accident
12:44I'm busy, Carly
12:46And I'm not even sure it was an accident
12:50It seemed the perfect job for him
12:52European Commissioner for Leisure
12:54Brussels, Laura
12:55Yes
12:56A pointless bureaucracy
12:58spending vast amounts of public money
13:00It's all the things he's good at
13:02And it's a long way from Whitmery
13:03Exactly
13:05Obviously, it needs to be presented in a very careful way
13:08If he thinks you're presenting it at all
13:10you've blown it
13:11He's not going to be interested in anything he hasn't thought of himself
13:14You understand him so well, Laura
13:17Which is why I wondered
13:19Ah
13:20Well, nothing direct, you understand
13:22Just a casual mention
13:23that you've seen something interesting in the paper
13:25I'm afraid not
13:26No
13:27I'm sorry, Jack
13:28It's just...
13:30Look, Mr. Brittus doesn't have a great many friends
13:32And if one of the two he has
13:34starts going behind his back playing politics
13:36I don't know
13:37It just feels wrong somehow
13:40Yes, well, I'll just have to do the best I can
13:43I'm sorry
13:44No
13:46No, that's fine
13:47If you think you can live with it
13:49What?
13:51Friendship and loyalty are all very well, Laura
13:53But when the bodies start piling up again
13:56And they will, sooner or later
13:59I think I'd like to know
14:00that I've done everything I could to prevent it
14:07There's an awful lot about Laura in here
14:10Fortunately, my quick-thinking assistant, Laura
14:12Without the ever-resourceful Laura
14:14She gets three whole columns in the index
14:17Really?
14:20What's he say about me?
14:22Oh, let's have a look
14:23Uh, Whistler, Tim, page 43
14:26That's it, one mention
14:29It's that bit when he says what he thought
14:30when he first met us
14:32Yeah
14:33And finally
14:34There was Tim
14:39Well, that's one little mystery unravelled
14:40What?
14:41I've solved the riddle of the pigeonholes
14:43Come and see
14:45It suddenly came to me
14:46when I was putting up that
14:47This is a frown-free zone notice
14:48Bear with me
14:50Julie
14:50Give me a few seconds, all right
14:55Watch
14:58Good day
15:00Goodness
15:00What did she do?
15:01Well, it had to be some sort of vibration
15:03like a door slamming
15:04and I suddenly thought to myself
15:05What door gets slammed more often
15:07than any other in this centre?
15:08British's office
15:09Which happens to be directly above that wall
15:11Did it work?
15:12Perfect
15:13What we do about it, I'm not sure
15:14Perhaps if we wedge Mr British's door open
15:17Or nailed it permanently closed
15:20Well, I'll go and tell him about it anyway
15:21Who knows
15:22With an architect, a structural affair
15:24and a dozen or so of carpenters
15:25we could be open by the weekend
15:26Laura
15:27Come quickly
15:28There's been another accident
15:29On the other hand
15:33How could anyone do a thing like that?
15:35As many as it was appearing on TV, Mr British
15:39What?
15:39Well, it can make some people very nervous
15:41Well, I think it was a grudge
15:43What are you burbling about, Gabby?
15:46Well, we used to have a boy at school
15:47who used to do that sort of thing, Mr British
15:49If he didn't like you
15:50He'd open up your desk and...
15:51We're talking about the congregation of songs of praise, Gabby
15:55Now, I think the most helpful thing anyone can do
15:57is get this lot cleared up
15:58You'll need a shovel, Colin
15:59We'll call Mr British
16:01Gordon, what the hell is going on?
16:03Careful where you tread, my darling
16:04We're supposed to be downstairs doing our interview
16:06Apologies, my love, unfortunately
16:08At this rate, I'm going to need another pill
16:10and he said if you take more than three in a row
16:12There's another log down here, Mr British
16:14What?
16:15Just round the corner
16:16It appears to be pretty fresh
16:18Gordon, if this interview doesn't happen within the hour...
16:20Right, I'm coming right away, my darling
16:22Gavin, get a bucket
16:23Any other problems come up, I do not want to know
16:26Hey!
16:27Hey, you've got a bishop unconscious in the sauna now
16:30Tall chap, pointy hat
16:32Big lump on the back of his head
16:33What is going on around here?
16:36Well, I'm wondering if we haven't got another serial killer
16:39All right, I'll deal with it, follow me
16:41Gordon!
16:45Gordon!
16:46Ah, Mrs British
16:47I was wondering if now might be a good time to talk to your husband
16:52Well...
16:53Only he's not in his office
16:54No
16:57Oh, I'm, uh, I'm so sorry
16:59I, I just have to go and do something
17:01Sorry
17:01Good grief, what's that?
17:03Oh, I don't know
17:04They thought it might be a serial killer or something
17:06I'm sorry, I'm really going to have to get, uh
17:08He'll be back in a minute
17:09I'll also...onden
17:11durer Oh...
17:18Tin Tsk
17:23AHH
17:25Tsk
17:27Tsk
17:29Tsk
17:31Tsk
17:31Tsk
17:32Tsk
17:32Tsk
17:32Tsk
17:32Tsk
17:49Pay attention, please, everyone, sit down, disperse, sit down, please.
17:53Right, now, just to keep you informed, the good news is that Bishop Tom has regained consciousness.
18:01Though not, unfortunately, his speech.
18:04Do we know who attacked him?
18:05We don't know that anyone attacked him, Carol.
18:07Well, something hit him on the edge.
18:09He fell off the viewing platform, Judy. He's bound to have the odd bruise.
18:12What about Councillor Druggett?
18:13I'm coming to that.
18:14What happened to Councillor Druggett?
18:15He's been knifed all down his chest. There was blood everywhere.
18:18Please, please, please, please.
18:21We do not know that he's been knifed.
18:23It's much more likely he tripped on the carpet and fell on his keys.
18:28But that's three attacks in two hours.
18:30I think we should clear the building, Mr British.
18:32Laura, have you any idea how long it takes Songs of Praise to come to a place like this?
18:36I refuse to clear the building until we know it's more than just a coincidence.
18:40However, just in case there is someone of an antagonistic disposition, I am prepared to organise a search.
18:47Oh, I see. He's going to split us up and let whoever it is pick us off one by one.
18:50Why don't we call the police?
18:52The police have been informed, Laura.
18:54And what did they say?
18:55I said there was a possibility and I emphasised the fact it was just a possibility that there may well
19:01be a serial killer in the centre.
19:04And Sergeant Fairburn said he'd pop round on his way home this evening.
19:07We're going to die! We're all going to die!
19:10We're all going to die!
19:11Nobody's going to die, Timothy!
19:12As long as we behave sensibly, act intelligently and keep calm.
19:17Mr British!
19:18Not now, Colin.
19:19She's all right! She's perfectly all right!
19:22What are you talking about, Colin?
19:23Your wife!
19:24I've just found her unconscious on the floor of the ladies.
19:27HELEN!
19:28No!
19:31You're my little lady.
19:32Right.
19:34Gently.
19:34There we go.
19:36Right, Lindy.
19:36You know what to do?
19:37Yes, Mr British.
19:39Is she badly hurt?
19:40Right.
19:40Let's find out, Laura.
19:43Not now, Gordon.
19:45I'm too tired.
19:48Helen, are you all right?
19:51What?
19:51What did he do to you, my darling?
19:55He took my pills.
19:56Did he harm you in any way?
19:58I said he took my pills.
19:59There were 14 in that bag.
20:01All right, my love.
20:02All right.
20:03It's not all right, Gordon.
20:04He's eaten them all.
20:05Can you describe him?
20:06And Jonathan doesn't have another chemistry lesson till Thursday.
20:09Look, my sweet.
20:10I know you've just been through a dreadful experience, but try and think.
20:13What was he wearing?
20:14He wasn't wearing anything.
20:18Nothing.
20:18Not even underpaint.
20:20Don't be stupid, Gordon.
20:21Why on earth would an ostrich be wearing underpants?
20:25What?
20:26He said, why would he be wearing underpants?
20:28An ostrich?
20:29You were attacked by an ostrich?
20:30I keep telling you, I wasn't attacked.
20:32He just took my bloody pills.
20:37Right, now, before you go, just a reminder, I do not want any heroics.
20:41If you find the bird, do not approach it under any circumstances, but report back to my office.
20:49All right?
20:49We are quite sure, are we, Mr. Brittis?
20:52What?
20:52Well, that Mrs. Brittis did actually see an ostrich.
20:55You think she imagined it or something, Gavin?
20:57No, no, no.
20:57Absolutely not.
20:58Only she did have the place evacuated on New Year's Eve because of a giant millipede.
21:03That was a simple misunderstanding, Timothy.
21:06Well, didn't she claim it was trying to have sex with her?
21:08My wife was on a hay fever remedy with unfortunate side effects, Julie.
21:13This time...
21:14It's definitely an ostrich, Gavin.
21:16Thank you, Colin.
21:17I've been examining this sample.
21:21I took this from a pile on the second floor.
21:23Colin.
21:24I should have recognised it earlier, but it was only when I examined it closely.
21:27Colin.
21:29We'll talk about it later, all right?
21:31To your search areas, please, everyone.
21:34And remember, if you see or hear the bird, report back to the office.
21:39And if the tabloid press get to hear about this, Julie, I'll know who's responsible.
21:45It came from the Safari Park.
21:47It disappeared sometime last night.
21:48It's actually an emu.
21:50Right.
21:51What are they going to do about it?
21:52They'll have a man round here by five o'clock.
21:54Five?
21:55Well, they've only got one van and it's delivering a panda to Swindon.
21:59What are we supposed to do till then?
22:01They didn't actually know.
22:03Unfortunately, their flightless bird expert is away in a day conference.
22:06Their seal and walrus man suggested that we put a rope around it.
22:10Why did it have to come here?
22:12Did you know that Safari Park runs alongside the army camp?
22:15The army camp?
22:17The army camp?
22:18Paras are not the wisest people to have offended, Mr Brittus.
22:21Their colonel was pretty upset.
22:24You...
22:25You think they did it on purpose?
22:26Yeah.
22:27I think you're lucky they only went for a practical joke.
22:29A joke?
22:31We have an ostrich loose in a leisure centre and they call it a joke?
22:35Yes.
22:36They found it.
22:38Come on!
22:45He's in the end cubicle, Mr Brittus.
22:47I think he probably scented water.
22:49I can't see anything.
22:51Well, he's got his head stuck in a fire bucket.
22:53It's probably the only sound he could find.
22:57I...
22:58I have one idea.
22:59I don't want to hear your ideas, Colin.
23:01Wouldn't the safest thing be just to leave it in there?
23:03I'm not having an ostrich in my disabled toilet, Laura.
23:06I want that bird out now.
23:08My idea, Mr Brittus.
23:09I've warned you, Colin.
23:11I think we should keep our voices down, Mr Brittus.
23:16He can't get out of there, can it?
23:17Well, 14 of Helen's pills, he can probably fly.
23:21Ready when you are, Mr Brittus.
23:23Right.
23:24Thank you, Linda.
23:26He's all yours.
23:27Just show me where he is, Mr Brittus!
23:32Over there, in that one.
23:38I can't.
23:38Well, go on, can it?
23:39I'm sorry, Mr Brittus.
23:41I can't.
23:42But, you said downstairs anyone who lays a finger on a bishop
23:45deserves to have their brains splattered.
23:47There's a wall, get splattering.
23:49But, it's an animal.
23:50Yes?
23:51When you said you'd found out who was doing all the damage,
23:53I thought you meant a person.
23:55I thought you was a person!
23:56I'm sorry.
23:57I can't.
23:59I can't.
23:59I can't.
24:02Are you sure you wouldn't like to hear my idea now, Mr Brittus?
24:05What is it, Colin?
24:06These muscle relaxants I've been taking are very powerful.
24:09Yes, Colin?
24:10Now, I thought if we gave the ostrich a handful...
24:12You think I'm going to persuade an ostrich to swallow your pills?
24:15They're not exactly pills, Mr Brittus, they're suppositories.
24:18Go away.
24:19All you have to do is, how is bamboo pork?
24:21I said go away, Colin.
24:29Give me the rope, Gavin.
24:33Right.
24:34This is what will happen.
24:36I will open the toilet door,
24:38tie the rope round the bird's neck and lead it out.
24:41You, Colin, will go ahead, clearing the way,
24:44and then you will help me tether the bird to the bicycle rack outside
24:47where we will await representatives from the safari park.
24:50Now, just in case this bird attempts any form of resistance,
24:54the rest of you should retreat to a place of safety.
25:02Oh, come on, then.
25:13Who's a pretty boy, then?
25:16Ah!
25:21Help!
25:23Charlie, help me!
25:25Help!
25:27contribute help!
25:31Arrgh!
25:42Arrgh!
25:46Don't let it in open!
25:48I won't let him get a worry.
25:52I think I've got him.
25:57Broken bones over there, please.
26:01Anyone who came in contact with the beak over there for inoculations.
26:06Pam, you're quite sure, are you?
26:09About not going on with the broadcast.
26:12It's just I'm sure we could find another organist.
26:14If push comes to shove, I could probably play myself.
26:17Can we go ahead now, please?
26:18Well, when you're feeling better and you want to arrange another date,
26:21just give me a call, all right?
26:23Here, a present for you.
26:25A little memento to help you remember your visit.
26:28I've signed it.
26:29For Pat, sorry you got a bit pecked.
26:34You take it easy now.
26:40The last of the ambulances is gone, Laura.
26:43Good.
26:45I thought we were quite lucky, really.
26:48It could have been a lot worse.
26:5154 serious injuries, it seemed bad enough.
26:55Funny, isn't it?
26:58Funny?
27:00How things turn out, Laura.
27:02You know, I've spent the last eight months thinking of nothing but coming back to this place,
27:09managing my centre again.
27:12And now?
27:14What?
27:15Well, I know it's a terrible thing to say, Laura, but now it's actually happened, it all seems a bit
27:20samey, you know?
27:24Samey?
27:25Like I've done it all before.
27:28I'm not saying I'm not glad to be back, Laura.
27:31This is the best job in the world and I'll probably still be doing it in 20 years' time.
27:3520 years.
27:37But it's just, I've always wondered if perhaps there isn't something more, you know, paint on a broader canvas.
27:43Still, shouldn't worry you with my troubles, Laura.
27:47No.
27:48No.
27:49Would you, um, just excuse me a minute?
27:52I've, um, left on that.
27:55Somewhere.
28:06Builders, builders, builders.
28:16European Commissioner!
28:19Did you call me?
28:20Laura, I've just had the most extraordinary idea.
28:54Thank you!
28:56Thank you!
28:58Thank you!
29:00Thank you!
