01:44Oh, Sheridan...
01:45How could he not know it was you?
01:48You grew up together.
01:51Hmm?
01:52You disguised your voice, dear.
01:54Why did you disguise your voice?
01:57Something personal you wish to share with Mummy that Daddy wouldn't understand.
02:02Oh, Sheridan, I think it's wonderful that you still feel you can confide in Mummy.
02:08Hmm?
02:08Hmm, that we're still such pals.
02:11Now, what is it, dear?
02:13You need 70 pounds.
02:17This great cry ran out.
02:19My foot slipped off the pedal and I lost my balance.
02:21Well, when she shouts like that, people do.
02:25Mrs Bucket, Bouquet has an extremely powerful voice.
02:30Look at the practice it gets.
02:35How do you manage?
02:38It's like the army.
02:39You just follow orders.
02:41Every move is worked out for you and your meals appear on time.
02:45But they only sign on for 20 years.
02:49I wonder who she's really quite kind.
02:52Oh, yes.
02:57That's my God.
03:00Morning, all.
03:00Hang on, Emmett.
03:02I'm going your way.
03:03Fast, I hope.
03:06Chin up.
03:22Hey, handsome.
03:27Breakfast time, oh mighty husband.
03:40Breakfast time, oh man of my life.
03:50What's all this in aid of?
03:52Just a little thoughtful act of the kind wives do for husbands.
04:00I'm not doing the garden.
04:02I did it last year.
04:05You did it when?
04:07All right, year before last.
04:09It's not the garden.
04:11I thought we might spend the day together.
04:14Just the two of us.
04:18Father's going to the over-60s.
04:21Rose has an appointment with a gentleman friend.
04:24And we've got the house to ourselves.
04:31You're right.
04:32I should do the garden.
04:36Eat your breakfast.
04:51Good morning.
05:02It's clean to me.
05:03It does to me now.
05:14False.
05:17Plastic.
05:22Why does Sheridan need 70 pounds?
05:26At that age, they always need 70 pounds.
05:31Ever since I can remember, he's been at that age.
05:35Yes, it's true.
05:37He matured very early.
05:38Even in the Cubs, he had more equipment than the SAS.
05:45How it breaks a mummy's heart to see her son go off in uniform.
05:50To the Cub Scouts.
05:53For two hours on a Wednesday.
05:56I didn't see Emmett this morning.
05:59No, he left early.
06:01Poor shy Emmett.
06:04It can't be easy for him to communicate with someone he sets on such a high pedestal.
06:12They're rehearsing the boyfriend.
06:15But you didn't tell me.
06:18Hiya, Simp.
06:19We've been married all these years.
06:20I've never been able to tell you anything.
06:23Two coffees, please.
06:25We'll have coffee at home.
06:27Come along, Richard.
06:29Come along, Richard.
06:30Come along.
06:34Very nice.
06:36No.
07:08well
07:09any more bacon
07:19poor Emmett
07:21I'm sure he'd love to ask me
07:22to be in the boyfriend but he's too shy
07:27I've noticed before I have this
07:28effect on him
07:31he mustn't be jealous
07:32Richard
07:34it's purely platonic
07:37but isn't the boyfriend
07:38full of young people
07:401920s flappers
07:42yes it is wouldn't it be lovely
07:45won't he need
07:46someone younger
07:49hmm
07:49well I can do younger

07:55make up wigs
07:57and things you can't have forgotten

08:31they've gone out in the car
08:32well she's singing anything
08:34especially anything 1920s
08:37she was giving Richard his instructions as usual
08:39he wasn't singing
08:41oh she will be
08:43once she learns I'm rehearsing the boyfriend
08:46she won't only be singing at me
08:48she'll be singing 1920s at me
08:51she can't expect a part in the boyfriend
08:53I mean she's too old
