00:09I had a lovely dream.
00:12A dream that I lived in the most beautiful house I'd ever seen.
00:17And I was married to a very fine gentleman.
00:21Oh, I...
00:23Hans or Molly?
00:24Very.
00:26But he kept wanting to do unspeakable things to me.
00:42I've come to light the fire, sir.
00:43Aye, quite gone, love.
00:55Wakey, wakey, sleep, boom, boom, boom, boom.
00:57What are you doing? Get out.
00:58Do you get scared, sleeping all on your own?
01:01Best sleep I've had, not having to listen to you too fast and snoring all night.
01:05You coming down for breakfast?
01:06Go away. It's early.
01:08Come on, Harry. I want to have a look around.
01:18Come on.
01:19I'm going as fast as I can.
01:21I'm not used to hours this big.
01:23I'm not used to hours this big.
01:51I'm not used to hours this big.
01:53Oh my...
02:27They must be the previous owners.
02:30Do you think the maid ever had a flush of his bareback sack?
02:33That is Sir William Cavendish IV.
02:37The hall belonged to his family for nearly 200 years.
02:40And what happened to him?
02:42Tuberculosis.
02:43Pierre lives in India and does no use for the estate.
02:46So an agent was instructed to find new owners as quickly as possible.
02:50And here we are.
02:52And here you are.
02:55If I may have a moment, Mrs Hardacre.
02:58We need to discuss how things are going to run.
03:01What things?
03:02It is my job to follow your instruction, ma'am.
03:07What time would you like the fires lit?
03:09The rooms aired?
03:10The bell rung for dinner?
03:11Decisions must be made on linens, china, glassware, the week's menu.
03:15There's the stocking of the wine cellar, larder and pantry.
03:19And that's before we get on to the housekeeping ledgers.
03:21The shopping and the laundry.
03:24Well, perhaps we can discuss that after breakfast.
03:27Just as you wish, ma'am.
03:44This is our home now.
03:47It is.
03:49And from now on, we're people who matter.
03:52And no one can ever treat us like dirt or make us feel like we're nothing ever again.
03:57Yeah.
03:59Home.
04:00Sweet home.
04:03Oh, yeah.
04:04I see you two have made yourselves comfortable.
04:08Dad!
04:09Oh, Beasley, what have we got here?
04:10Sir, we have eggs, boiled, scrambled, poached, fried, sausages, bacon, kidneys, kippers, fried herring.
04:17I hope that's hard egg at herring.
04:19Would you like me to find out, sir?
04:22I'm only kidding you, man.
04:24You can call me Sam.
04:25Yes, sir.
04:29Finally decided to get up, lazy ass.
04:32I'll take one of everything.
04:34A gentleman usually serves himself at breakfast, sir.
04:38He is no gentleman.
04:40Shut it, you.
04:41Leave him alone.
04:42Enough with your bickering.
04:45Has anyone seen me?
04:49I'll have some hot tea and toast and another one of them kippers.
05:05Mrs. Dryden would like to discuss the running of the house after breakfast.
05:08Does anyone want to come?
05:09Oh, sorry, love. I need to go to the fish auction, checking on the shops.
05:12You're one of the richest men in the county.
05:14Why have dogs in bar yourself?
05:15We don't have to be up at the crack of dawn to hunt fish anymore, love.
05:18No, no, we don't have to, but I like going to the auction.
05:21I hang around the docks more like.
05:22Maybe the shops can't manage themselves.
05:24I know, and we can figure out how that's going to work.
05:26But you're a gentleman now, and gentlemen don't work in fish shops.
05:29I'm a working man.
05:31I can't sit around the house all day doing nothing.
05:33Why not? That's exactly what I'm planning.
05:35I'm not saying do nothing.
05:36Maybe there's something else more befitting.
05:38Like what?
05:39Herring is all I know.
05:41Well, Mr Saunders is coming by this morning.
05:43Why don't you speak to him?
05:44And maybe get more involved in the financial side of things.
05:50Suppose a conversation can't hurt.
05:54Listen, this is a fresh start for all of us.
05:57Right?
05:58Joe, you can join your father.
06:00You what?
06:00You heard.
06:06Then the earnings per share can be boosted by diverse asset allocation, which brings us
06:10to bond market trading.
06:11I'd be happy to show you both how the stock market works, walk you through fixed and variable
06:17income securities, corporate and government bonds.
06:25I promise it's a lot more exciting than it sounds.
06:29And the hard acre portfolio does a lot of good helping new companies get it on their feet.
06:41Giving people a start.
06:42I like that.
06:48So I get into this and away from the fish.
06:52Stepping back from the day-to-day operation is a big move, though.
06:56I can't hand the reins over to just anyone.
07:02So how about it, Callum?
07:06How do you fancy being the manager of Hartacre, Heron?
07:09Me?
07:09You already know the finances and the set-up.
07:12You're more than able for it.
07:14And most importantly, we trust you.
07:17It would be nice to have more of a hands-on role.
07:23And it's settled.
07:25You bring Joan Lee in on the stocks and shares.
07:28I'll give you the leather arm and the whole herring game.
07:40Enter.
07:47If you require me, ma'am, you'll only have to ring the bell.
07:51It isn't customary for the lady of the house to come below stairs.
07:55Oh.
07:56Well, I was just passing.
07:58Anyway, you want us to go over the household ledges.
08:08Running a house this size is no small matter.
08:11If you are happy for me to continue as is, that might be for the best.
08:17Oh.
08:18I'm sure there's no harm in me casting my eye over a few things.
08:33So, these are the food supplies for a month.
08:37A week.
08:39A week.
08:40A week.
08:40That's the provisional breakfast, the sit-down breakfast, elevenses, luncheon, afternoon tea.
08:47No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
08:48We don't need to be eating seven times a day, love.
08:50No.
08:50We don't need something much simpler.
08:57Oh, it's good.
08:58Right, Sam.
08:59Right, man.
09:05Looks like a good haul there, Fred.
09:08Must be a two-tonner.
09:09This beats a man who knows his Eric.
09:11I didn't expect to see you today.
09:14I thought you'd be busy settling into that fancy new house of yours.
09:17Any chance to see you, Lena, you know that?
09:19Hmm.
09:20You'll be seeing a bit less than me after today, though.
09:22I'm taking a step back from the shop, so I won't be coming to the auction as much.
09:26Why?
09:27My pleasure, is it?
09:28I'm not paying you a lot to chinwike.
09:31Sorry, Mr. Short.
09:32My fault.
09:33I distracted.
09:34Can't keep away, can you, Hardacre?
09:38If I find your quarters, Jan, I'll be jogging you at DHB.
09:42That's a bit harsh.
09:43There's nothing to do with you.
09:48You don't have to go for him, you know.
09:50Easy for you to say.
09:52You don't have to work for him anymore.
09:54I thought he might afford me a little more respect now I'm overseeing.
09:58Who was I kidding?
09:59All right.
10:00You know I can always find you a job in one of the shops.
10:04I'm the only thing standing between Shaw and the rest of these.
10:07You've got work for underdog in the shop.
10:10I appreciate the offer.
10:13They're not your problem anymore.
10:19Stop worrying about Ud.
10:21Go and enjoy your new home.
10:23I'll see you around.
10:29What's that?
10:30Stop it.
10:30Let's crack it.
10:31It's right.
10:41Oh, Liza, what do you think of these, love?
10:46Life of a lady at your fingertips and you want to spend your time playing cards with this old woman.
10:51Life of a lady?
10:52What does that even mean?
10:54Well, it means beautiful dresses, elegant balls, dashing men.
10:58You'll be dashing, all right?
10:59Away from Liza.
11:00Boy, do I care about stupid dresses and boring dances with boring men.
11:06Do you know what?
11:07I would give my high teeth for all that at your age.
11:10Maybe it's that you've had it easier than I ever did.
11:12I know what it's like to be poor.
11:16There's poor and there's poor.
11:18You have no idea how hard it was when I were young.
11:21Oh, you survived.
11:23You've done all right for yourself.
11:29And I believe that leaves you seven points down.
11:32Oh, you cheating old crone.
11:47How are you finding the stocks and shares?
11:49How are you finding the stocks and shares?
11:53Well, they're certainly different.
11:55I don't mind it.
11:56It's not as if we're doing any real draft, is it?
11:59Buy a bit of this company.
12:00Sell a bit of that one.
12:01It's basically money for nothing.
12:04Maharani!
12:08Maharani!
12:09Hey, I say, you haven't seen a Russian wolfhound passing through here, have you?
12:13About this big?
12:15Highly strung?
12:16Can't say they will have now.
12:17Dammit, it's my wife's dog.
12:19If I go home without the beast, it'll be me sleeping in the kennel.
12:23Well, you must be the new chap, the Marquess of York, Lord George Fitzherbert.
12:28I live in the next estate, Mallon Manor.
12:31Sam Hardacre.
12:32Pleasure to meet you.
12:33He's my eldest, Joe.
12:34Hello.
12:36Maharani!
12:38Why don't you come up to the house and see if anybody up there has seen your hand?
12:40Wouldn't want to see you in trouble with the wife now, would we?
12:43No, we certainly would not.
12:45All right.
12:45That would be terrific, help.
12:47Terrific.
12:48Tiddy!
12:48Tiddy!
12:52When did you last see him?
12:53I took him to do his business in the woods.
12:56And a little bugger shot off after something.
12:58Hey, Ian.
13:00Lord Fitzherbert, this is my daughter, Liza.
13:02Ah.
13:02And my mother-in-law.
13:04I go by ma.
13:06Enchanté.
13:06He's lost his dog.
13:08What kind is it?
13:09A boarzoin.
13:10A what?
13:10A Russian wolfhound.
13:12Sold to me on the understanding that it would make a very fine gundog.
13:15But she panics at the sound of the shot.
13:18Women, eh?
13:20Oh.
13:20She's a bitch?
13:21Yeah.
13:22Are you shooting in the woods?
13:24Yes.
13:24Right.
13:25Leave it with us.
13:26Come on.
13:26You're very kind.
13:30Mary.
13:32Come on in.
13:40This is our new neighbour, Lord George Fitzherbert.
13:43This is my wife, Mary.
13:45Oh, Lord Fitzherbert.
13:46Charmed, Mrs. Haddock.
13:47Oh.
13:48And our youngest, Harry.
13:49Oh.
13:50Oh, gosh.
13:51What happened to you?
13:52I was born this way.
13:53Doesn't hold him back, though, does it, son?
13:55Oh, good for you.
13:59Why, Mrs. Dryden.
14:01How lovely to see you.
14:03Lord Fitzherbert, may we offer you some refreshment?
14:07Well, I dare say, I've timed my visit perfectly for afternoon tea.
14:12I'm afraid we don't take afternoon tea in this house anymore.
14:15Really?
14:16Oh, gosh.
14:17Well, in that case, I'll make do with a tot of Madeira.
14:22Please.
14:23Oh.
14:24So, tell me, young man.
14:26Why are you reading of an afternoon and not at school?
14:29Oh, well, we're actually looking for a new school for Harry.
14:31Well, the only place worth a damn in Yorkshire is Barlow's Boarding School.
14:36Ut portet nomen mayum corum gentibus.
14:41Say it again.
14:42It's the Barlow's motto.
14:44Carry my name to the people.
14:47But bored in school, though, didn't you miss your family?
14:50Oh, not a jot, no.
14:51In fact, Barlow's three R's made me the man I am today.
14:55Rough housing, rowing and ruddy good chaps.
14:59That sounds lively.
15:01It sounds brilliant.
15:06That hound is in heat.
15:08Then he'll be after like a rat up a drain pad.
15:10There they are.
15:11He'd never get up there.
15:13You've got a lot to learn about men, Liza girl.
15:16Head grab that hound.
15:18Come here.
15:22Turn around.
15:23Slowly.
15:27This is private land.
15:29You're trespassing.
15:30Says who?
15:32Victor Ward.
15:33Head groundskeeper on this estate.
15:35And permitted to shoot porches.
15:37Only if we're armed.
15:39Which, as you can see, we are not.
15:42You're very familiar with the law.
15:44I'm also very familiar with guns.
15:46And what you're holding there is a 12-gauge double-barrel shotgun.
15:50Oh, aye.
15:51What of it?
15:52Well, I hope you're confident of your aim.
15:53Because in the time it'll take you to cut that second barrel, my tinny ear will have ripped out your
15:58throat.
15:59That's big talk for a small dog.
16:02Size is overrated.
16:05Being the generous chap that I am, I've got to let you go.
16:09I don't want to see you on this land again, all right?
16:12Well, that might be difficult.
16:15Seeing as how we live here.
16:18My daughter owns this place.
16:21So, technically, that means you work for me.
16:26My apologies.
16:29My lady didn't introduce us all.
16:32Oh, I'm no lady, Mr. Ward.
16:43So, you made your fortune from fish?
16:46Oh, aye.
16:47We travelled up and down Yorkshire selling fried hair.
16:49Life on the open road.
16:51How I envy you.
16:52Oh, well, you wouldn't envy sleeping in a car to a ma.
16:54The old woman snoring would put a knobby to shame.
16:58Sam.
16:59But you've left the fish behind you now, then?
17:01Not quite.
17:01That's right.
17:02Well, we're not involved in the day-to-day operations, and Sam now runs our financial portfolio.
17:07Well, I'm something of an entrepreneur myself, as it happens.
17:10Oh, aye?
17:11What game are you in?
17:12Wine.
17:13I'm planning England's first vineyard of my estate.
17:16Why, let the French have all the fun.
17:18Do grapes grow in Yorkshire?
17:20I'm sure they will, Harry, given the right conditions.
17:23We found your dog.
17:25How wonderful.
17:26Just in time, too.
17:27Didn't he was about to show her around?
17:29Oh, getting to know each other.
17:31A bit like us.
17:33But alas, all good things must come to an end.
17:37Well, you must go for tea and dinner sometime.
17:40I'd be delighted to.
17:41What about this Saturday?
17:42Yes, of course.
17:44Yeah.
17:44Um, you should bring your family.
17:46Oh, yes.
17:47They'd be thrilled.
17:49Yeah.
17:56Toad in the home.
17:58As requested.
17:59Ask Gran Beasley.
18:00Well, we certainly can't serve the Fitzherbert's Jordan the Ark.
18:03Why?
18:04You got something against a good sausage?
18:05They might be used to finer things.
18:08The Marquessie York, George Fitzherbert III, married Lady Emmeranson in 1868.
18:15Oh, my.
18:16What?
18:17Lady Emmer is related to the Danish royal family.
18:19Crikey.
18:20Royalty.
18:21On our table.
18:22I hope she's not as nervy as a daft hound.
18:24You see, the gentry are like they're dogs.
18:26All that blue blood leaves them defective.
18:28Give me a good mongrel any day.
18:30If you're going to be like that when they're here, you can stay in your room.
18:32Maybe we should all stay in our room.
18:34We don't want to embarrass you in front of real-life royalty.
18:38Ah, they're all whining, you know.
18:40Look, folk are folk no matter where they're from.
18:42I'm sure we'll find some common ground.
18:44Liza, you can help me pan the evening.
18:46That's not fair.
18:47Why doesn't he have to well?
18:48Because he's helping your father with stocks and shares.
18:51What about him?
18:52I have to get ready for Barlow's.
18:54That's not decided yet.
18:55But, Dad.
18:55We'll talk about it later.
18:57What's that you're reading, anyway?
18:59Found it in the library.
19:01It's a compendium of the great and the good.
19:02Oh, yeah?
19:03What's it say about me, then?
19:04Not sure it mentions you.
19:05See?
19:06All the best women are written out of history.
19:08Oh, here we are.
19:09Mar, also known by her alias as the Shadow.
19:13And Madam Midnight is one of Yorkshire's most notorious smugglers.
19:17But she's thought to be descended from Spring-Eel Jack and a local banche.
19:22Hey, that don't impress Lady Watson, baby.
19:25No, there'll be no talk of banches or smuggling.
19:28We're all going to be in our best behavior, and we're all going to make a good impression.
19:32Who are these hard acres?
19:35What is their title?
19:36We didn't really get into all that.
19:38According to Lady Beaumont, they're richer than the salt marshes.
19:41And I heard the eldest son is very handsome.
19:44Where does he inherit his money?
19:47I'm not entirely sure.
19:49But they have a very diverse portfolio.
19:51Portfolio?
19:52Oh, so they're new money.
19:54New money, old money.
19:56I mean, the point is, they've clearly got parts of the stuff.
19:58And they're rather like the sound of my wine business.
20:01You don't have a wine business.
20:03I could, if I got the sort of cash injection that some hardacre could provide.
20:08Please tell me you're not planning to go back into the neighbors.
20:10It would be an investment.
20:12How else am I supposed to pay for the upkeep of this place?
20:15Let alone Nadella's dowry.
20:18I've already accepted the invitation, Amir.
20:21How will it look if I say we can't go?
20:23Fine.
20:23We will go to dinner.
20:26We'll see what these hard acres are all about.
20:40How was last night's dinner, ma'am?
20:43Simple enough?
20:44It was very nice, thank you.
20:46But we will require something more special for Saturday evening.
20:50Lord and Lady Fitzherbert will be joining us.
20:53And what's she like?
20:55Lady Emma.
20:56Oh, where does one begin?
21:00Her ladyship has beauty, elegance, a wonderful sense of style.
21:06Her charitable works and society contacts are second to none.
21:11I believe that she is a personal friend to Her Majesty the Queen.
21:20And her daughter is the most eligible debutante in the county.
21:26Well, we best pull out all the stops then.
21:35Will the service be a la Française or a la Russe?
21:40Yes.
21:42Both.
21:44And were you thinking the Wallace Silver or the Gorham Glass?
21:50Oh, I like this one.
21:51Look here.
21:55Ma'am?
21:59Look, Mrs Dryden, when it comes to all this, I have no idea where to start.
22:03You know that, I know that.
22:06So maybe you could just help me out here, love.
22:10I wouldn't like to get above my station.
22:12Ma'am was very clear yesterday.
22:16Mm.
22:17Thank you, Mrs Dryden.
22:19That will be all.
22:24How don't you just get rid of her?
22:26Look, she doesn't think I can do this.
22:27So, I'm going to prove her wrong instead.
22:42I'm trying to get the hang of this Bain-Wazery pastry.
22:45French must have very cold paws.
22:47That's all I can say.
22:48I doubt this lot would know the difference between French pastry and a Yorkshire pudding.
22:53Lord and Lady Fitzherbert will be dining here at the hall on Saturday.
22:58Mrs Hardacre is taking charge.
23:00But you say she hasn't got a clue.
23:02She wants to do things her way.
23:05You have to cook what she asks for.
23:07No more, no less.
23:10Thank you, Mrs Henderson.
23:21Sir.
23:23Here, Beasley.
23:26What sort of thing does a gentleman do with his day?
23:29Well, he begins by taking the papers in the morning.
23:33Yeah, I've done that.
23:35Then he would probably deal with his correspondence.
23:38Have I had any letters?
23:40No, sir.
23:42There's matters of estate management.
23:45All right.
23:45What's that then?
23:46The running of the grounds and land.
23:49Though, Mr Ward, the groundskeeper, has that in hand.
23:55Well, what did old Cavendish do with his day?
23:58He spent the afternoons at his club, discussing matters of the day with other gentlemen.
24:06Would you like me to apply for membership on your behalf?
24:09I'm not sure his type of place is my type of place.
24:13As you wish, sir.
24:16There you are.
24:17I need to decide what to serve the Fitzherbers for dinner, and Liza's been either youth
24:20nor ornament.
24:22What would you say to a royal roast?
24:24It's a chicken inside a duck inside a turkey.
24:27That doesn't sound actual to me.
24:29How do they even get in there?
24:30Maybe a saddle and mutton of his surfer.
24:32Yeah, that's a good idea.
24:34Oh, make sure you're here tomorrow morning.
24:35We've got tailors and dressmakers coming.
24:37What for?
24:39Well, this dinner's our way into society, so we need to look a bit more like that.
24:59Good afternoon.
25:01Good afternoon.
25:08Matt, we have a selection of ready-mades that we can adjust to fit here today, and for
25:14the maid to measure.
25:17Aye, it's quite the thing, love.
25:19Now, we're after the works, lass.
25:21Everything from the undercrackers outwards.
25:23Nah.
25:24What?
25:24All the money you've got, we should be farting through silk for the rest of our days.
25:28Shall we?
25:52Oi, what change?
26:09Beautiful.
26:24Very handsome.
26:50Well, Beasley, do we look the part?
26:55Every inch, sir.
26:59There's a gentleman here to see you.
27:07Fred.
27:09Oh, is that really you?
27:12Oh, it's just like a daft costume, isn't it?
27:16What's happened?
27:18I sure sacked me.
27:21Because I let a sick man go home.
27:24That bloody man.
27:25I hate to ask.
27:27I wouldn't if I weren't desperate, but the other day you said you could maybe help me out
27:33with a job in one of your shops.
27:34Of course.
27:35Absolutely.
27:35Go on, have a seat for it.
27:37Sit down.
27:45What is it?
27:48The docks.
27:49It's all I've known.
27:50And them that weren't there.
27:53Doesn't feel right.
27:54Me often sorted.
27:55Well, the rest of them are stuck there with Shaw.
27:57Just be some other poor sods turned down.
28:01I think it's time someone had a proper chat with her or Mr. Shaw.
28:08I know you want to help, love, but you threw Shaw in a pile of fish guts.
28:12I'm not saying it's going to be easy, but it's worth a go.
28:16This is too good to only wear in the bedroom.
28:18Oh, don't worry about that.
28:20It's just a daft costume after all.
28:22I felt funny dressed like that in front of Fred, that's all.
28:26Is that what's going on?
28:28You feel funny about all this?
28:29Are you looking for any excuse to run back to the docks?
28:31I'm not running back anywhere, Mary.
28:33I'm doing the stocks and shares, aren't I?
28:35Oh, and I spoke to Beasley about what occupies a gentleman.
28:38And?
28:39Well, it's mainly reading newspapers and talking nonsense with other gentlemen by the sounds of it.
28:44Sam, you've got to give it a proper chance, love.
28:46I am.
28:48But Fred's a good friend and I just want to help him.
28:50I care about Fred too.
28:52I just think we should be looking forward, not back.
28:55The docks is our old life.
28:56I want you here with me, in our new one.
28:58I am here with you.
29:01It just takes a bit of getting used to.
29:05But I'm here, Mary.
29:07I'm all in.
29:09Good.
29:10I just promised me you're not going to do anything daft down the docks tomorrow.
29:13I promise.
29:15I'll be measuring reason itself.
29:18You're a damn fool, man.
29:19What would you know about it?
29:21A monkey in a suit is still a monkey.
29:25I know you don't have a clue.
29:30You parade around.
29:31You treat the workers like dirt.
29:33You sack Fred for nothing.
29:38Sell the business to me.
29:41Why on earth would I do that?
29:44Because if you don't, I'll ruin you.
29:47You see, I might be a monkey.
29:49But I'm a monkey with money.
29:51And I'll happily spend it buying every single fish that's landed in this harbour until you wander.
29:56Hell, I'll buy every fish that's landed on the whole coast if that's what it takes.
30:00I won't stop till you're done.
30:03I don't believe you.
30:07Try me.
30:11Then go there.
30:20Oh, did you get Freddy's job back?
30:24In a manner of speaking, yes.
30:27Well, the thing is...
30:29Good.
30:30You can tell me all about it later.
30:31But right now, you need to go and get changed.
30:36It's a beautiful wife.
30:38Isn't it?
30:40I picked the flowers in the woods myself.
30:44Now go.
30:53Will there be anything else?
30:55No.
30:56Thank you, Beasley.
31:16Come around.
31:17Come on.
31:19Here's...
31:20This thing.
31:24It's going to be great.
31:30Lord and Lady Fitzherbert.
31:35Welcome to Hardacre Hall.
31:36You didn't tell me he was Irish.
31:39Lady Fitzherbert.
31:40Oh, there's no need to curtsy, Mrs. Hardacre.
31:43Oh, please.
31:44Call me Mary.
31:46These are our children.
31:47Joe, Liza and Harry.
31:49And this is my daughter, Lady Adela.
31:53We're thrilled to be here, aren't we, darling?
31:56Charmed.
31:57We're all very curious about our mysterious new neighbours.
32:00Oh, there's nothing mysterious about us lot.
32:02It'd be lovely to get to know one another.
32:05Your accent.
32:06I can't quite place it.
32:07It's Yorkshire, love.
32:09You live in it.
32:10My mother, if you'd like to follow me through to the dining room.
32:12This way, please.
32:16And I must say, it's lovely to be dining at the hall again.
32:20Oh, you knew the Cavendish family well.
32:22Oh, yes.
32:23Lady Cavendish was a magnificent hostess.
32:26An evening at Thornton Hall was always quite the occasion.
32:29Hardacre Hall.
32:31Of course.
32:32When a place has had a name for over 200 years, change takes a bit of getting used to.
32:37We're still getting used to it ourselves.
32:39It's a bit different to where we come from.
32:41And where would that be?
32:42Oh, we used to live in the village.
32:44Worked on the docks.
32:47Working?
32:48How modern?
32:49The first course.
32:55You seem to have forgotten the soup course and the fish course, for that matter.
32:58There are no soup and fish courses this evening, my lady.
33:03Really?
33:04It's ordinary.
33:05I see, my fish.
33:07And I thought you people were dock workers.
33:09We were.
33:11But the docks are far behind us now.
33:18Don't you like modern?
33:20It was delightful.
33:22Is Lady Adela an only child?
33:25No, we also have a son.
33:26Crispin.
33:27He's currently exploring the lakes of West Africa.
33:30You must miss him.
33:32Awfully.
33:33And soon, Adela will be gone too.
33:36What?
33:36We have high hopes that Adela will make a fine match with the heir to the Charlton estate.
33:40It's Lord Barthurst, a fine fellow.
33:43He hasn't actually proposed yet.
33:44Don't be so cautious, Adela.
33:46Negotiations are advancing.
33:48And how did you meet him?
33:49I barely have.
33:51Adela was presented last year.
33:53Oh, I bet that was wonderful.
33:56Have you been presented yet, Miss Harreger?
33:58Rancing about for a lot of silly boys.
34:01It just isn't really my style.
34:04Dessert.
34:13And this is?
34:15Bread and butter pudding.
34:17It's my favourite.
34:18It looks wonderful.
34:22Have you lost Mrs. Dryden?
34:25I think this is quite a change from the usual menu.
34:31Manor is excellent for grouse hunting this time of year.
34:34Why don't you come out with me tomorrow?
34:35Oh, I'd love to, George, but...
34:37Well, you could all call me.
34:38Make a day of it, eh?
34:39Oh, yes, yes.
34:39That would be fun.
34:40I'm going to dab hand me a shotgun.
34:41I really can't, I'm afraid.
34:43Oh.
34:44Why not?
34:44I have some business to attend to.
34:46Saunders can manage the shops.
34:48It's not the shops.
34:49Then what?
34:50I don't see why we can't accept Lord Fitzherald's very generous invitation.
34:57Uh, I was going to wait until later to tell you all, but, uh...
35:03I bought Shaw's fish merchants this afternoon.
35:09You did what?
35:12If you'd have heard Shaw, you'd have done the same thing.
35:20A hard-acre and son.
35:22Son?
35:23Which son?
35:24It's not likely to be me, is it?
35:26I'm not going back to the docks.
35:27Joan, can you give Lady Adela a tour of the house, please?
35:30I'd like that.
35:32They're going to need a chaperone.
35:33Of course.
35:34Laza, Harry.
35:35How about we gents retire for a brandy to, uh, toast your brand-new venture?
35:41What about us?
35:41I never say no to a brandy.
35:43Ladies and gentlemen together.
35:44Go on, Lady M.
35:45Treat yourself.
35:54So this is the study.
35:56Think she could have worked that out for herself?
36:00The study.
36:04How exciting.
36:06Yeah, it's not that great.
36:07Well, should we go back then?
36:08Seeing as it's so disappointing.
36:11So we can be bored to death.
36:13Well, have you got a better idea?
36:15Yeah.
36:19Why don't we have a bit of fun?
36:22Will you be involved in the day-to-day running of these fish budgets?
36:27It's early days.
36:28But the previous owner neglected the place for years.
36:31I have a lot of ideas about how to improve things.
36:33Do you know who better to run the business than those who have actually done the graft, eh?
36:37I couldn't agree with you more.
36:40It's exactly as the Cavendish is headed.
36:42Ah, yes.
36:43We're getting a feel for the place before we make changes.
36:46Well, what have you done with your own furniture?
36:53Does anybody play?
36:55Not the piano.
36:56If you're feeling lucky.
37:07Come on, Liza.
37:09Wait, what about me?
37:10Harry.
37:11It's grown-ups only.
37:12My little boys.
37:13You're not going to let him get away with that, are you?
37:16Go on.
37:17Harry.
37:19I dare you to drink the whole thing.
37:21Oi.
37:22Stop, Harry.
37:23Harry.
37:24Harry.
37:25What did you say that for?
37:27Don't be such a bore.
37:28Oh, woman.
37:33He's not going to be sick, is he?
37:37How are you feeling, Georgie boy?
37:39Quietly confident.
37:40Then why don't we make it interesting?
37:42It's a rather nice pocket watch you've got there.
37:45You can't possibly be suggesting a wager.
37:47Of course he isn't.
37:48I most certainly am.
37:50You horrible boy!
37:51What on earth?
37:54What the hell is going on?
37:56He drank a load of brandy and was sick on my breast.
37:59I'm so sorry.
38:00Drinking was your stupid idea.
38:02Liza!
38:02It was just a bit of fun.
38:04It was my idea.
38:05It wasn't Lady Adele's.
38:06I said you were too young.
38:07You liar!
38:08That is enough!
38:11Now all of you get to bed now.
38:13You're coming with me to the docks tomorrow, boy.
38:15Will you like it or not?
38:28How did I check in, Harry?
38:30Try not to buy any other businesses on your way out, will you, love?
38:35I hope you're pleased with yourself.
38:39Good riddance of you, ask me.
38:41I mean, he's all right, the poor sod, but she's a nasty piece of work.
38:44I did not like the way she spoke to you.
38:47I got everything wrong.
38:48Everything!
38:48Hey!
38:51Listen.
38:55How are you supposed to know all this stupid ins and outs?
38:59Fish and soup, eh?
39:02It's that Dryden one that needs telling.
39:04It's her job to know all that.
39:06Now I'm very happy to go and have a little chat with her, if you want.
39:10No.
39:12I'll do it.
39:13Don't hold back.
39:15I won't.
39:18That's my girl.
39:24I'll bet we'd fix her with the face for the picture.
39:27It isn't funny, young lady.
39:29We're going to destroy the standard of this house.
39:31You played your part.
39:33She needed guidance.
39:36That heartache a woman needs to see.
39:38There is a right way to do things.
39:40I don't see what you've got against them.
39:41They seem nice enough to me.
39:44Nice?
39:45The children are animals.
39:47The mother's a criminal.
39:49He's a simpleton.
39:50And as for Lady Mock,
39:52she can put on as many fancy dresses as she likes.
39:55It doesn't change the fact that underneath it all,
39:57she's a common fishwife.
40:20It was one bad dinner, love.
40:22It'll be better next time.
40:24How's Harriet?
40:28I told him he could go to Barlow's.
40:30I think it's what he needs.
40:33Another decision made without consulting me?
40:35I can tell him no.
40:37It's what he wants.
40:39This bloody dress.
40:45Come on.
40:51I'm sorry, Mary.
40:52I should have told you about Grand Shawls.
40:54It must be a new start.
40:57It won't be like before.
40:58It'll be ours.
41:01And it'll be good for me.
41:02It'll be good for Joe.
41:09You are happy here, aren't you?
41:13As long as I'm with you, I'm happy.
41:25Are you happy here?
41:27Of course.
41:29It's everything I ever wanted.
41:42I have it.
41:43You shall host a gala afternoon tea here at Hardacre Hall.
41:47That lady M is taking you for every penny.
41:49One day that'll read Joe Hardacre and stuff.
41:51Won't let you down.
41:52I thought I was in charge of the money.
41:54Fred can handle the money for now.
41:56Fred's not in charge all day, I am.
41:58And if I can run this place with fewer men than I will...
42:00I have a lover to Thornton Hall in sugar and cake.
42:03Hardacre Hall.
42:04Change your mind.
42:05The Duchess has arrived.
42:07Whatever penny we'll make, I'll break you.
42:08Mrs. Hardacre.
