Short filmTranscript
00:04Let me take you to the place where never shifts a smiling face
00:08But shoulders with the stars
00:12Where strangers take you by the hand
00:14And welcome you to Wonderland
00:17Where people can watch
00:20The drunken kind of dreams are breezy
00:25Burning sunshine
00:27There's enough for everyone
00:29All that's the sickest to see
00:38Mum said I could crash the party
00:43How would you behave?
00:47Sex on the beach
00:50Just the sex, please
00:53Come on, darling
00:54Enjoy
00:55Can James's trunks contain his excitement around Mrs. Stratton?
00:59Stay tuned to find out
01:03You okay?
01:06You have a bad time
01:15Cream?
01:17So easy to burn in this heat
01:19Good idea
01:20Good idea
01:20I'll do you if you do me
01:23Thanks, Deirdre
01:25Thank you, Deirdre
01:28The path to true love never did run smooth, darling
01:31You really know how to throw a party?
01:40Oh, yes
01:41I'm king of the fucking castle
01:45Catch
01:46Catch
01:47Take the road
01:49Ready?
01:50Send that out
01:51Love more
01:52And you know
01:53Everybody ready?
02:01Everybody ready?
02:05Smile, it's not firing, Scrawn
02:07Right
02:09Let's go
02:20We are delighted to announce that we are a new consortium called Ventura
02:27And we are pitching against Carinium for the Central Southwest ITV franchise
02:33When did you decide to make this bid?
02:35Is it a personal vendetta?
02:37Are you the only one on the team with TV experience?
02:39Does Lord Paddingham know that you're taking him on?
02:43If I could have a word, Lordby
02:44Not now
02:45You're going to want to hear this
02:48What is it?
02:50It's a rival franchise bid
02:52Declan, Freddie Jones
02:54Rupert Campbell Black
02:56What the fuck?
03:03Fuck!
03:04Fuck!
03:35Oh, oh!
03:39Oh, oh!
03:50Oh, oh!
03:52Oh, oh!
03:52Oh, oh!
03:54Oh, oh!
03:55Oh, oh!
03:56Oh, oh!
03:56Oh, oh!
03:57Oh, oh!
03:58Unbelievable!
03:59That bunch of amateurs thing they could take me on!
04:02You call yourself a fucking journalist?
04:04You should have been all over this!
04:06I can't be everywhere.
04:08Oh, pitiful.
04:09And you!
04:10Why the hell didn't you know this was happening?
04:11I told you as soon as I found out.
04:14All right, okay, we have to fight back.
04:15We're stronger than them, and we can prove it.
04:18No one is to speak to anyone from...
04:20The fuck they called?
04:22Venturer.
04:22Sounds like a brand of Johnny's.
04:24No one is to speak to anyone from fucking Venturer
04:27under any circumstances.
04:29Instant sucking if you do!
04:32Why the fuck are you all wearing swimwear?
04:35Party's over!
04:39Sorry.
04:40Not even at all.
04:41Not even as biscuits.
04:43You!
04:44Backstabbing whore!
04:45Tony!
04:46Her husband, Rupert Campbell Black and Declan Bloody O'Hara
04:50are bidding for my franchise.
04:52Get out of my house!
04:53Tony, Hermione's my friend!
04:55Not anymore!
04:56Go on, fuck off!
04:59Oh, no!
05:04I've never seen him so angry.
05:07That man is a monster.
05:10This sort of behavior is just a nut-hole.
05:13No, it isn't.
05:14This is what we're dealing with.
05:16Tony's gloves are off.
05:19One good thing, Cameron obviously hadn't blabbed.
05:23Otherwise, he'd never reacted like he did.
05:25Yeah, well, in an ideal world, he wouldn't have had a clue about us yet,
05:29except we had to announce early,
05:30because you couldn't keep your trousers up and your mouth shut.
05:33But from now on, we need to stay in full control of our campaign.
05:38A campaign, you say?
05:39We're at war, Henry.
05:41Yes.
05:42Now the hard work begins.
05:44Gerald.
05:45Certainly.
05:47These are copies of our draft application for all of you.
05:51Everyone needs to know this back to front
05:52so we can answer any questions that come our way.
05:54We also need more television people.
05:56Producers who know how to make award-winning programs.
05:59As wonderful as you all are,
06:01we lack practical experience.
06:03We also need to start a petition,
06:05get the locals on side
06:06so they come to the public consultation next month.
06:08It is crucial that we make a good showing,
06:10else Lady Gosling can pull our application.
06:13I have a captive audience every Sunday
06:16and can certainly secure the support of my flock.
06:19I will canvas my students
06:20and put up posters at the university.
06:22I can have art with a petition.
06:24Please.
06:25If you coach me what to say, I know I can do it.
06:27It's a lot to learn, Ty.
06:29Then help her, man.
06:31General Patton was dyslexic,
06:32never stopped him.
06:34Taggy at the front of Tank Command.
06:36If that's what's needed.
06:37Thank you, Tag.
06:39I have an idea.
06:40Hope it's better than your last effort.
06:43Fuck off, Declan.
06:44Oh, Rupert, give it a break.
06:45I'm already non-stop it! Stop it!
06:51Do you know why I've never had one strike in my factories?
06:54I let every man play to his strengths
06:56and I don't interfere.
06:59We're all on the same side here.
07:01We need to pull together,
07:03not pull each other apart, okay?
07:06Yeah.
07:13Good.
07:16Your husband is very impressive.
07:19All this.
07:20In his element.
07:21Yes.
07:23And just when I thought he was mine again,
07:25the new mistress whisks him away.
07:29Gosh, I'm out of the ball
07:30at the end of Five Nations.
07:31It's a twiggy.
07:32Everyone keeps having a go at me.
07:33I can't keep saying I'm sorry.
07:34Well, then stop doing things
07:35you need to be sorry for.
07:39I can't keep saying I'm so sorry.
07:51Oh, that it's just me.
07:52I love her so much.
07:53I'm really agree with her.
07:55Oh.
07:56I'm sorry.
07:56I was kissing Valentina by a crystal plate.
07:59I just had a million times this time
08:01to talk about dates for television.
08:02Can't you go for the new back?
08:03Oh, so it's going to be fun to tell you what I'm going to do, I'm sorry.
08:07Oh, I'm going to be fine, I'm not.
08:12These are the days when you wish your bed was already made.
08:18It's just another manic Monday.
08:24I'm Taggy.
08:25I just want to know if I could talk to you about Ventura Television.
08:27Of course.
08:28Okay, great.
08:29You won't be free to talk about Ventura business.
08:31Hi, um, can I talk to you about Ventura?
08:33No, I'm not interested.
08:37Okay.
08:49Taggy!
08:49Miss Feblin, I'm so sorry, I didn't know you lived here.
08:52Wait.
08:53I...
08:56Fancy an illicit cup of tea.
08:59All right.
09:00Oh, well, then.
09:02I was hoping to run into you, to thank you for New Year's Eve.
09:06You're having a heart attack.
09:08It wasn't a heart attack, it was, um, a panic attack.
09:14Started about a year ago.
09:16I don't tell many people, so if you could, just keep it to yourself.
09:19Of course.
09:22You better now.
09:23Definitely on them end.
09:25After New Year's Eve, Rupert visited me at home and realised I wasn't coping with mother.
09:31He put a rocket up social services.
09:34Now, we have a district nurse every day.
09:47The stars are hitting the red carpet in London today for the 1987 British Television Awards.
09:54Competition is tight in this year's drama series category.
09:57It could be the life and loves of a she-do, a singing detective, or will they go with this
10:03And his audience choice of four men went to Mo.
10:06Over here.
10:06Over here, please.
10:10Minister!
10:11Minister, over here.
10:12This way!
10:13This way, please.
10:14Hey, is he!
10:16Leave him alone.
10:22Let the guard.
10:23Let the guard.
10:23Let's go.
10:26Follow the guard.
10:27Close to the guard.
10:28Come on.
10:30Good to see you.
10:31It's not soon.
10:44I told you I could get this invited.
10:46Well, to say, Rupert, this was definitely one of your better ideas.
10:51Yeah.
10:53See the look in Tony's face?
10:56So, who's the big fishery on a last night?
11:00There's lots of potential, but that's Harold White over there from Granada.
11:04He's my number one for program controller.
11:07Marie Lemon, then.
11:09Mm-hm.
11:12Harold!
11:13Oh, dick!
11:15I hope they're running to you here.
11:25Thanks for keeping your mouth shut out of Venture.
11:28Tony Constellation didn't even read your application in the end.
11:31Declan thought it wasn't fair game.
11:32Hmm.
11:34At least someone in your consortium has integrity.
11:36You still won't win, though.
11:43Cameron Cook.
11:44I was hoping I'd bump into you.
11:46Do you mean Hathaway?
11:47I'm part of the group that's pitching for Yorkshire TV.
11:50And we'd very much like to talk to you about coming on board.
11:55I'm happy at Carinium.
11:57Well, we can top off Tony's bag.
11:59Our pockets are just as deep.
12:00But not your vision.
12:01And I'm a vision kind of a woman.
12:03Well, I...
12:05Fuck off, Hathaway.
12:08What did that slimeball want?
12:10He asked me to join his bid for Yorkshire television.
12:14And what did you say?
12:15That I'm happy where I am.
12:16Ah.
12:17Tony, hi.
12:18Richard.
12:19Hi.
12:19Great to see you at the board meeting, never mind.
12:21Sorry, good.
12:21You remember my wife, Elisa?
12:23So glad you're here.
12:24Come on, Harold.
12:26You spent the last ten minutes telling me how unhappy you are.
12:29You left Carinium in a blaze of alcohol-synced violence.
12:33Documented on lie television.
12:36And every gossip column is this side of whopping.
12:39Hardly the ID and CV for the managing director.
12:42Would you at least think about it?
12:44Look, you're a good friend there.
12:46Yes, you are a very talented presenter.
12:48But running a franchise is a completely different skill set.
12:52And frankly, I can't risk my entire career on that kind of long shot.
12:58Harold.
13:05Ladies and gentlemen, presenting tonight's award for the best drama series,
13:10please welcome Miss Natalie Perrault.
13:20It's so lovely to be back in the UK to present this award.
13:24And to have such a warm welcome.
13:28The winner of best drama series is...
13:32C'est magnifique.
13:33Four men went to Mo.
13:35Yes!
13:39Well done.
13:43Well done.
13:44Well done, boys.
13:47Well done, boys.
13:49Well done, boys.
13:52Good to see you.
13:54I'd want an award if I had to sleep with Tony.
13:56Oh, she's the woman who gets what she wants, that's for sure.
13:59Well done.
14:11Thank you so much for this British Television Award.
14:14It means a huge amount.
14:17I remember the day that my dad brought home our first television.
14:20A Ferrante, it was quite the status symbol in 1952.
14:25Big wooden box of tricks warming up in the corner of our lounge, sitting room.
14:32My father, Lord Battingham, loved television.
14:39He spent his days walking the corridors of power with world leaders,
14:43helping good men to win bad wars.
14:46And then he'd come home in the evening and sit down and watch Coronation Street.
14:50He would have loved Four Men Went to Mo.
14:52Four Men Went to Mo entertains 12 million people weekly.
14:57And that's in the UK alone.
14:58It's become a global phenomenon.
15:01Dad, I hope it made you proud tonight.
15:07But it would never have become what it is.
15:11A lauded and beloved national and international hit.
15:16Without the real brains behind the programme.
15:20And behind Carinium.
15:22The force of nature that is Cameron Cook.
15:26Cameron, this award is yours.
15:49Wow.
15:52When Tony invited me to England to become a part of the Carinium family,
15:58he promised that together we would make award win in television with integrity.
16:18This really needs a lot.
16:29Congratulations to Lord Battingham, Cameron Cook,
16:32I'm the Canadian Television Team behind Four Men Wentz-a-Move.
16:38Thank you very much.
17:14You're not scared. Somebody might see us.
17:20Tonight, I am oiled.
17:44Tonight, I am oiled.
18:10Tonight, I am oiled.
18:24Tonight, I am oiled.
18:29Tonight, I am oiled.
18:47What's happened?
18:52Walter Scott's dead.
18:53Oh.
18:55I'm sorry to ruin your first British television award.
18:59You could never ruin anything.
19:05Oh, I'm sorry.
19:09You're such a loyal animal.
19:14I hope no one saw you coming here.
19:16Not that it isn't lovely to see you, but just if Tony knew.
19:19Don't worry. I was very careful.
19:22Thanks. Right.
19:24So, what can I do for you?
19:27We'd like you to join Venture.
19:29What?
19:31Did Daddy put you up to this?
19:33She told me she saw you.
19:34I don't need pity.
19:35I'm not offering pity, Charles.
19:39You are still one of the best and brightest.
19:43A real whiz kid.
19:45Well, I'm a whiz kid now.
19:47Because Tony makes you feel worthless.
19:50He is wrong.
19:52You have so much to offer.
19:54You would make an incredible controller of programmes.
19:57No. No, no, no. I can't.
19:59Not with Mother. There's stress.
20:01Okay. All right. All right.
20:03Oh, but documentaries.
20:05That's where you started out.
20:09I've lost that. Thank you.
20:12Tea!
20:13Yes.
20:17May our British Television Award be the first of many.
20:21Bravo!
20:24Now, you all need to sign new contracts.
20:26What for?
20:27Standard practice in any franchise year.
20:29Tony needs to know that you're loyal.
20:31Miss Madden will have them on your desk tomorrow.
20:33Sign your return by Friday, please.
20:35No holidays to be taken until this is in the bag.
20:38Not even sick days, unless you're actually dying.
20:41Between now and December, we are going to wow the IVA with our creative output.
20:44But we also need to discredit Venturer.
20:49Declan was desperately pushed for cash when it worked here.
20:51How's he raised funds?
20:53We should investigate any IRA connections.
20:55Well, not all Catholics are terrorists.
20:57Well, he's tried to blow us sky high.
20:59Wouldn't be anything past him.
21:00Rupert's a government minister, surely being a part of Venturer's conflict of interest.
21:04Hmm. No, sadly.
21:06But get your husband to ask about it in the house anyway.
21:09Nothing wrong with seeding doubts.
21:10What about the bishop?
21:12Bet he's fiddle with a choir boy or two.
21:14One for you to investigate there, Charles.
21:16But most importantly, find out who Rupert's sleeping with, Seb.
21:19There's got to be something there.
21:19That's not really the sort of journalism...
21:20I don't give a fuck!
21:22I also heard Freddie Jones on the radio this morning,
21:25doing his Man of the People shtick.
21:27Ginger, remind Radio Colchester I'm on their board.
21:30I don't want any more of that sort of coverage.
21:31Consider it done.
21:32They'll be recruiting production people, so watch your colleagues.
21:38Cheers.
21:38Cheers.
21:41Now, fuck off, they're not here.
21:43Excuse me.
21:47He was so angry.
21:49You need to be careful.
21:52So he's really gunning for us, then?
21:54I've never seen him so determined, Declan.
21:56He's like a man possessed.
21:57He's going to try to destroy you.
22:00Thanks for the heads up.
22:06You're going to have to do better than that if you're going to work for Venturer, Charles.
22:10Oh, yes!
22:11Oh, very good, Sebastian.
22:13Very funny.
22:15Don't make that joke to Tony, though.
22:17I don't make jokes about things that aren't funny.
22:21And you helping Venturer win the franchise?
22:24That isn't funny at all.
22:27We've had word that with the rocketing AIDS numbers, the IBA wants a real focus on family values.
22:33So with that in mind, I thought, we thought that a program on how to stay married would fly.
22:40Network slot, of course.
22:42Network?
22:44Yeah.
22:45Great.
22:45Marriage.
22:47Finances, dual careers, housework, sex, rows, decorating the house.
22:54And we'd like you to front it with a lady very close to your heart.
22:57Sarah would be honored.
22:59I'm not talking about Sarah, I'm talking about Lizzie, your wife.
23:03Lizzie?
23:04Oh, yeah, of course.
23:05So the fewer working lunches you have with Mrs. Stratton from now on, the better.
23:09Yeah?
23:11Absolutely, Tony.
23:14Off you pop.
23:14Right, yes.
23:15OK.
23:33Darling.
23:37Guess what?
23:38What?
23:39We've been off on our own show.
23:42What do you mean, our own show?
23:43You and me.
23:45Tony wants to call it, How to Stay Married.
23:49Us?
23:50On TV?
23:51Well, it'll mainly be me, but Tony wants you two for authenticity.
23:54Well, I can't.
23:55My editor's screaming at me for a draft.
23:58There aren't enough hours in a day.
23:59Of course you can.
24:01There's nothing you can't do.
24:02Haven't I always said that?
24:04In fact, this show, it could be the push your books need to really, you know, sell.
24:14But I hate being photographed, let alone on camera.
24:18Can't you do it on your own?
24:19For God's sake, of course not, Lizzie.
24:20Tony wants you.
24:21Us.
24:23He asked me personally,
24:25At least do the screen test before you decide to destroy my career.
24:30Ah.
24:32OK.
24:33Fine.
24:34I'll do the test.
24:36This is going to be the making of us.
24:46Here we are, ladies.
24:47Topper?
24:49Excuse me.
24:51What are my two favourite girls doing having a drink?
24:53In my bar.
24:54Without letting me know.
24:55Oh, we're on the run from our humdrum lives.
24:57Are you ready?
24:58Oh, you are disgustingly bright.
25:00In a few weeks playing polo in Argentina, we'll do that to a chap.
25:03Buzz?
25:04No rest for the wicket.
25:05Excuse me.
25:07Oh.
25:08That arse.
25:10Oh, we'll have to meet in secret from now on, or James will have a fit.
25:13Oh.
25:13Good practice for having an affair.
25:15Yeah.
25:18I've never had an affair.
25:20I think if I didn't have my admirers, I doubt Declan and I would still be married.
25:24Oh.
25:24What he sleeps with is work.
25:26He needs something.
25:27Everybody does.
25:28It's how people stay married.
25:30You sound like Rupert.
25:32I'll take that as a compliment.
25:33Really, you never fancy just a little bit on the side?
25:38Much too complicated.
25:41I love complications.
25:44It makes life much more exciting.
25:47Hmm.
25:59Can I help you?
26:03Where's your father?
26:06Christ, Charles. What are you playing at?
26:09Sorry.
26:09It keeps the Battingham KGB off my trail.
26:12Something's happened.
26:15So now you know then, what are you going to do, Seb?
26:19Tell Tony about Charles.
26:24Declan, working with you...
26:26was the best job I've ever had.
26:28What I'd like to do...
26:30is join you.
26:32If you'll have me.
26:34I could be another mole in Tony's camp.
26:36I always fancy myself a spy.
26:38Careful, you don't get, like, carried away, Sebastian.
26:41Sorry, couldn't resist.
26:42You really want to help us take on Tony?
26:44Housting bullies is what I want into journalism to do.
26:56Head of news, perhaps.
26:57Welcome on board.
26:59Bravo, thanks.
26:59Mm.
27:06Table for two.
27:09It's a bit public, isn't it?
27:10Actually, we're here to see you.
27:13Right?
27:14It's high time you joined Carinium.
27:18There's a seat on the board with your name on it.
27:21That's a very generous hobby.
27:23I need people around me I can trust.
27:24They have my back.
27:26It isn't about work, it's about loyalty.
27:28Family.
27:30Saying that, Carinium's a very lucrative business to get involved.
27:33And we've got amazing program plans in all areas,
27:36so this is really the time for you to join the board.
27:41Good afternoon, Tony.
27:44I've just signed with the other side.
27:48Rupert's promised to put Polo on television.
27:50Something I'm interested in that you've always dismissed as ridiculous.
27:53Yes.
27:54You only want me to join your board so you can impress the IBA with your...
27:58...family values.
28:00Whereas Venturer asked me because they know what I'm worth.
28:04I'm not just your little brother, Tony.
28:08I'm an asset.
28:13No.
28:14The only asset you have is the Battingham name, and you got that by the skin of your illegitimate teeth.
28:20Rupert asked you to try to hurt me.
28:22That's how desperate he is.
28:29Look at you all.
28:31A drunk, and a weak, and a washed-up show jumper.
28:37All you've got in common is overblown ego.
28:42I enjoy destroying you all, though.
28:45You'll implode all by yourselves.
28:54Tony's right, though, isn't he?
28:57Nobody will touch us with a barge pole.
28:58We have morals. That should come for something.
29:01Yeah, some of us do.
29:02Well, so Baz isn't on board, then?
29:04It doesn't matter how many people join us.
29:06Declan's the only person on that team who's actually made any television.
29:09Well, you haven't lost anyone's respect if you just jack it all in.
29:12I mean, the whole of Fulham are desperate for us to return.
29:16I mean, we could even go back to Dublin.
29:18You said I'd have to drag it by your hair back to Dublin.
29:20Please, someone will be touching me, Declan.
29:22Tony's got inside our heads.
29:24It's exactly what he wants.
29:26But is he right?
29:28Is Venture a stupid idea?
29:44Good morning, Gerald.
29:46Good morning.
29:47Busy day today.
29:48Mm-hmm.
29:49Oh, and the PM's office called.
29:51Say what?
29:52Well, she thinks you've joined the wrong team in this franchise race.
29:56The backbenchers are beginning to doubt your intentions.
30:20Oh, no, I'm not going to a crinium today.
30:25James is doing the screen test with Lizzie, so I thought I'd keep out of the way.
30:30Right.
30:36I'm surprised you're so relaxed.
30:38What do you mean?
30:39Oh, come of it, Sarah.
30:40Lizzie and James' show goes well.
30:44Tony will want her for round-up, too.
30:46All that real-life chemistry on screen.
30:49Can't be today.
30:52It's a shame, really.
30:54You being on TV was very good for our profile.
30:56Tony would never do that.
30:57James wouldn't have it.
31:00Ambition is a cruel mistress.
31:03You need a strategy, my love,
31:06before you are out on your ear.
31:16Lulu.
31:31Good morning, Mrs. Stratton.
31:43Sarah, I've got half an hour till my how-to-stay-married screen test.
31:46Yes, and I want to help you with that.
31:47No, absolutely not.
31:49Oh, come on.
31:49You're so much better on screen when you're relaxed.
31:51I am completely relaxed already.
31:53Are you?
31:53Yes, I am.
31:54Sarah.
31:55James.
31:56What Tony doesn't know won't hurt him.
32:04Uh, Lizzie Verica?
32:06For the screen test?
32:07Please take a seat.
32:20Mrs. Verica, ready for your TV debut?
32:23Not really, Deidre.
32:24Do I look okay?
32:27I'm sure wardrobe can do something.
32:30Leslie.
32:33James is in here.
32:35Do you want to say hello first?
32:37Hmm.
32:49Let's get you to wardrobe.
32:59Right, lights on, Birdie.
33:02Here we go, people.
33:04Camera's set.
33:06One, you're on the single, yeah?
33:08John?
33:08Got two shots.
33:09Lovely.
33:10Can you have a set, please, ladies?
33:12Big red bus.
33:14Big red bus in the morning.
33:16Red lights!
33:18Standby.
33:19Ready?
33:19Roll camera!
33:21You're going to be marvellous.
33:22Oh, better to hold hands.
33:24Looks more married.
33:26On in.
33:27Five.
33:27Four.
33:28Three.
33:29What's it?
33:35Welcome to How To Stay Married,
33:37a new weekly series where we explore how couples last the course.
33:47And Cher?
33:51And Cher?
33:52And Cher, our secret recipe.
33:54For long-term love.
33:57I'm Lizzie Verica, a romantic novelist and mother of two.
34:02And you need no introduction to me, James Verica. We've been married for...
34:07What do you think?
34:08Mm-hmm.
34:09Lizzie needs work, but she'll get there.
34:11There we go.
34:11And it makes him much less plastic, like a real marriage.
34:15And we'll be your hosts for How To Stay Married.
34:21That's a great concept.
34:22Yep.
34:23Okay.
34:24The show or married?
34:27Both.
34:39And now, moving on to a member of your own party, Mr. Stratton.
34:43Someone that everyone seems to be talking about at the moment.
34:46Ah.
34:47Showjumper, member of parliament, and now television producer.
34:51What next? Joan Collins' husband?
34:54The minister for sports certainly gets around, doesn't he?
34:57Indeed he does.
34:58And I think I can speak for the entire Tory party when I say that ministers should focus on what
35:02voters need.
35:04Not cooking up alternatives to Grange Hill.
35:07So, could Mr. Campbellback be gambling his political career with his franchise bid?
35:12No, I couldn't.
35:12For God's sake, shut him up.
35:14Oh, but shut...
35:20Turn off here.
35:23Where are we going?
35:52I'm not going to go.
35:55And Rupert and Belgravia sail over the water and turn.
36:00The ship stampedes the course as if the jumps didn't exist.
36:04A heroic effort.
36:05Keep it tight. Keep it going.
36:07No, keep it together.
36:08Just me and you, Rocky.
36:10What?
36:12Rupert Campbell, Black, and Rocky have won.
36:14Yes!
36:15Well done, boy.
36:17Good boy, Rocky.
36:19Good boy.
36:20And it's Olympic gold for Gregleton.
36:22And Rupert Campbell, Black, has done it.
36:24Despite his dislocated shoulder, there will never be a victory quite like this.
36:29You're right, mister.
36:41What's happened?
36:43Someone died or...
36:56Only in my cell.
37:00Come on, let's go.
37:01Got it.
37:24I love you.
37:30Right, next stop, Cochester Rugby Club.
37:33Follow the road for three miles, then take the second left.
37:37You'll see the pub in the corner.
38:01Tuggy, what are you doing here?
38:04I've come to talk about sport on television.
38:06To this lot. They're a bit rowdy.
38:08Yeah, but they're on my list, so...
38:10Right, OK.
38:12Well, come on, then.
38:15I'm sure that you need us.
38:17This young lady has come to talk to you about the television.
38:22Come on, my lover!
38:28Off you go.
38:31Good afternoon.
38:32Get your teeth out!
38:43I'd like to talk to you about Rutgers' sporting prowess.
38:46I'll give you prowess, love!
38:49Listen to the lady.
38:55Ventra Television...
38:58...is pitching for its central-southwest RTV franchise in the area,
39:03and we'd like your support on our campaign.
39:07We're really interested in rugby at all levels,
39:09and we'd like to promote competitive sports...
39:13...and we'd like to talk to you about the future.
39:18You'd better go, taggy love, before they turn feral.
39:24I'll just leave this for you.
39:36Take your first left off to the village green,
39:38and carry on straight down that road for about two miles.
39:41Turn left at the fork in the road, and follow the...
39:43What fork in the road? There isn't a fork in the road.
39:45...and next be looking out with a post-
39:47Oh, for fuck's sake!
39:48I'll kick it around, though.
39:52Shush!
40:03Unlock the door.
40:05You okay?
40:07You okay?
40:08I'm fine.
40:12There's a blind corner. Sydney didn't see you.
40:15You hurt?
40:16Oh, no.
40:18Sure?
40:18Do you need an ambulance?
40:20No, no, I'm okay. I'm okay. I'm fine.
40:22Take a breath. Take a breath.
40:24I'd better drive her home, and I'll see you tomorrow, Gerald.
40:28You all right?
40:29Yeah.
40:36Rose, you'll next be looking out for the post office,
40:38which should be hidden around.
40:40Is that you?
40:43Um, yeah, I'm terrible at direction.
40:46You haven't been travelling around on your own.
40:48Oh, I don't mind.
40:50I've got so much ground to cover, but, um...
40:53Yeah.
40:54No, today was hard.
41:17You're very quiet.
41:21Too much to think about.
41:24You worried about the franchise?
41:27No.
41:30God, no.
41:31Not at all.
41:32No.
41:32Worrying's for losers.
42:02Thanks for driving me back.
42:04At least I could do after nearly running off the road.
42:11Well...
42:13Um...
42:15The PM's announcing the election tomorrow.
42:17When she does, I'll be canvassing all over the area.
42:19Why don't you come with me?
42:21Paddle the Ventura canoe.
42:23Better than slogging around on your own.
42:25We can even use the Tory loudspeaker to plug Ventura
42:27when no one from the party's listening.
42:29Is it allowed?
42:29Well, make it allowed.
42:35Thanks.
42:37Um...
42:38How are you going to get back?
42:41Um...
42:42I'll walk.
42:45It's...
42:46Gorgeous evening.
42:50Okay.
42:51Well...
42:51Yeah, yeah, there you go.
43:01Okay.

43:07You'll work out what to do.

47:56Hmm.
47:57It's Sunday. Are you okay?
47:58I needed to see you.
48:06Open it.
48:17If we win the franchise,
48:19I'll turn that into an engagement ring.
48:22Okay, you just commissioned a show called How to Stay Married.
48:26As you said, it's a great concert with the right person.
48:30I never want to lose you.
48:36So when we win, I say we make it official.
48:39And get married.
48:48What do you think?
49:13Rupert, we need to start.
49:16Good to see you.
49:17You too.
49:19I'm expected at the Mothers for Christ tea at five.
49:23Right.
49:23Mm-mm.
49:24Well,
49:26I've got good news and, uh,
49:30other news.
49:30Uh, I put Penscombe up as collateral,
49:33secured a seven million pound loan.
49:35So added to your stake, should we win,
49:37we're covered for our first two years.
49:40Bloody brilliant!
49:42But you put your house up as collateral.
49:46I'm all in.
49:48Christ.
49:48Christ.
49:49And the other news?
49:52I offered Cameron Cook control of programs.
49:55I say.
49:57Is that the black woman?
49:58Shh!
49:59Inappropriate.
50:00You've gone mad, Rupert.
50:02And?
50:03I gave her our application so she can see what's on offer.
50:06I'm sorry, you did what?
50:07Why would you do that?
50:09What the fuck?
50:09What did she say?
50:11She didn't.
50:13But I told her if she was in,
50:16to be here at three o'clock.
50:17It's nearly our past.
50:18I wanted to secure the win.
50:20You hadn't found a controller of programs.
50:22She's Tony's only trump card.
50:23So you thought you'd just give her all the other cards to?
50:25She gives her application to Tony and he will sabotage all our plans.
50:28She won't do that.
50:29She's fucking amazing.
50:30We need her.
50:31You do, you mean.
50:32On her back.
50:33Fuck off, Paz.
50:34I joined this consortium to get away from bullies like her.
50:37Now I have to put up with her when we win.
50:39Fortunately, no, because that treacherous bitch clearly isn't coming.
50:44That's where you're wrong, Declan.
50:46The treacherous bitch is here and she's coming to join your side.
50:55Your absolute beauty.
51:00Your creative vision for Ventra is dazzling.
51:03Look, I'm totally won over.
51:04Sorry, Paz.
51:05But I can make that vision a reality.
51:07You expect me to trust you.
51:09You'll be taking a risk.
51:11But you've seen how far I'll go for something I believe in.
51:14Surely it's a risk worth taking.
51:31Welcome to Ventra's new controller of programs.
51:39Camera cook.
51:40Cheers.
51:41Camera cook.
51:42Camera cook.
51:43Camera cook.
51:44Camera cook.
51:45Right.
51:46Let's get camera up to speed, shall we?
51:48So...
51:51What do you think?
51:52What have you, my sister?
52:14You okay?
52:17Yes.
52:20Declan will have his fucking franchise.
52:23What will I have?
52:27Hey.
52:31Shh.
52:34Hmm?
52:36Come on.
52:42So, should I see you later?
52:44Finalize the finer points of our relationship.
52:50Sounds perfect.
53:19Do you really think you can trust her?
53:23I don't know.
53:24I don't know.
53:49I don't know.
53:51I don't know.
53:52Siegfried.
53:53I don't know.
53:53I don't know.
53:54Siegfried, it is.
53:55Hmm.
53:56I'll give you five minutes.
54:03We need to up our surveillance.
54:07We've tapped all the internal phones, and we're opening the post.
54:11I'm thinking more personal surveillance.
54:16On everyone.
54:20Absolutely.
54:21Everyone.
54:31Siegfried, Siegfried, hit us.
55:01Hey, hey.
