00:27Music
00:37What's the matter with you, you worry? It's supposed to be doing you good.
00:40It's in me good.
00:42Look, my chest feels like it's in a vice.
00:45Cool, Dean, when I was your age.
00:46Oh, here we go, when you were my age.
00:49I bet you'd do it with a leg tied behind your back, couldn't you?
00:52So you've got to be fit or your game will suffer.
00:54No, I'm fit enough for snooker.
00:55Do you want to be a pro or what?
00:57Of course I want to be a pro.
00:58Oh, look, tell us what is jogging got to do with snooker.
01:01How many miles do you reckon you walk round a table during a match?
01:04I don't know. I haven't thought about it.
01:06I have.
01:09Come on.
01:18So what happens if Mo don't beat this geyser?
01:20Then it's goodnight, Mr Chips.
01:22Yeah.
01:23Yeah, I see.
01:26Er, thanks a million, Ron.
01:28Cheers.
01:32Sounds like heavy stuff over there, Mo Mo.
01:34At the UN summit meeting.
01:36Tina tells me he had you out jogging this morning.
01:39Murder.
01:40How good is this geyser?
01:42Oh, well up in the ratings.
01:43He's warm.
01:44Very warm.
01:45That good, eh?
01:47Christiana's.
01:49Look, can I be straight?
01:50You can be King Kong if that's what turns you on, son.
01:53Look, you've got a boy there with a lot of talent.
01:55Handle, right?
01:56You've got a long way.
01:57Yeah.
01:58In a nutshell.
01:59You haven't got a clue, have you, mate?
02:03I'm sorry.
02:03What are you trying to get at?
02:04I don't want to fall out.
02:06I think you'd better get to the point, Uncle.
02:08It's all right.
02:09The point is, you put your boy in the wrong end of the business.
02:12Six months and you'll ruin him.
02:14You reckon?
02:15I know.
02:16Look, I know a good club I can get Mo in.
02:18I bet you do.
02:19You got me all wrong, Mickey.
02:21I doubt it.
02:22I doubt it very much.
02:23Come on, what are you trying to say?
02:25Put him in a good club.
02:26Let him work his way through the ranks as a good amateur.
02:28And he could, and I mean could, in a year, turn pro.
02:32Do it right, Mick, for the boy's own good.
02:34Where's you fitting the frame?
02:36What's your angle?
02:38Contact.
02:38I know the business.
02:39Yeah, of course you do, Uncle.
02:41Of course you do.
02:44You just fixed the game up, right?
02:46I'll look after Mo.
02:49Uh, wanna have a beer?
02:52Nah.
02:55What do you mean he got nicked?
02:57According to his brother, yeah.
02:58I don't believe this.
03:00You told me the guy was okay.
03:02Well, it's not my fault.
03:03He's gone and got himself a nicking.
03:05Do you realise how many months of planning that is up this one?
03:10All because your highly recommended friend gets himself lifted.
03:15You know how much this caper stands me in.
03:17Have you any idea?
03:19Of course I know.
03:20I mean, I'm as gutted about as you are, Bryn.
03:22I doubt it very much.
03:25Now, look, Bryn.
03:27Surely we can get another facing.
03:29I mean, machine drivers can't be that thin on the ground.
03:31That's right.
03:32Are you crazy?
03:33We're supposed to go the day after tomorrow.
03:35Listen, Bryn, I'll drive the bleeding thing.
03:38It can't be that hard.
03:39It's only a soppy JCB.
03:45You drive a JCB?
03:46Yes, why not?
03:48It's only a silly digger.
03:49A few hours, I'll soon have it sussed.
03:51I had flying lessons once.
03:53Oh, yes, I'm sure.
03:55I did.
03:56He did.
03:57Flying lessons.
04:01Oh, my God.
04:04Mick, will you look at me?
04:05I'm a cripple.
04:07The jogging's killing me.
04:08The jogging's killing me.
04:09The jogging's killing me.
04:09Will you shut up, Moaning?
04:10It's growing pain.
04:11It's good for you.
04:12You reckon?
04:12I know.
04:14OK, take a break.
04:15Mickie, the hat knows.
04:17It destroys.
04:18Oh, yeah.
04:20What about this geezer?
04:22What?
04:22Dave Nelson?
04:25You, er...
04:26You heard of a bloke called Jeff Foles?
04:28Name rings a bell, yeah.
04:30Well, he's playing at a club in Birmingham on Thursday night.
04:33It's, er, very, very good, aren't you?
04:36And what?
04:37You were playing him on Thursday afternoon.
04:40You're joking.
04:41You're all right, I'm joking.
04:43You're not joking.
04:44You serious?
04:46Maurice, if you beat this Foles geezer,
04:49you qualify for temporary membership of the club.
04:52You know what?
04:52Hang on, hang on.
04:54What do I want temporary membership of some club in Birmingham?
04:56Because on Thursday night, a certain Canadian player,
04:58well-known to one and all,
05:00will be doing an exhibition match up there.
05:03And as a member, you qualify to play him.
05:06All right?
05:06Come on, come on, come on.
05:07Listen, calm down.
05:08You've got to beat Foles in first.
05:10Yes.
05:10Maurice!
05:11Yes!
05:12It's all right, lads.
05:12He's just...
05:13put out a bottle.
05:14Get out of the bottle.
05:28Oh, hello.
05:30Is Mickey in, please, half?
05:31Sorry, he's out.
05:33Oh.
05:34You're Tina, right?
05:35Yeah, that's right.
05:36We met last week, remember?
05:38Oh, yeah.
05:39You were with Mickey in the pub.
05:40That's right.
05:43Double or nothing, Uncle.
05:44Eh?
05:45Oh, come on.
05:45It's only early.
05:50Did he run any or what?
05:52Did he run any or what?
05:53What do you expect, son?
05:55Oh, what's up with you?
05:56How many times have I got to tell you, Maurice?
05:58Don't start, Mickey.
05:58Listen, you can't knock the balls off a punter
06:01and expect him to come back for more, can you?
06:03Look, I've told you before,
06:04I can't mess around the way you want me to.
06:06Maurice!
06:07Ma...
06:08You're costing us dough, Maurice!
06:09Oi!
06:10Leave me down.
06:15Sorry.
06:16Oh, thank you, darling.
06:18I don't know when Mickey will be back.
06:21Do you have a seat at Dave, isn't it?
06:23Right.
06:24I'm sorry about the mess.
06:25Don't worry, don't worry.
06:27They're off practising, I suppose.
06:29Sorry?
06:29No, I'm Mickey.
06:30Off practising.
06:31Yes.
06:32Either that or a match.
06:34Ah!
06:34Hustling.
06:36Is that what it is?
06:38Hustling?
06:38No.
06:40No.
06:41No.
06:41No.
06:41No.
06:41You know, your brother has got a rare talent.
06:44He really is very good.
06:46Or could be.
06:47I thought he was.
06:48Well, I mean, he is.
06:49He's got a lot of potential.
06:51But?
06:52Not my place to talk out of turn.
06:54Now that you have.
06:55Hmm?
06:56Now that you have, Dave, finish what he was going to say.
06:59He is my brother.
07:00Well, since you've pressed me.
07:04Your brother's career as it stands is very limited.
07:08Apart with the right management, the right handling,
07:10I think you've got a father.
07:13Yeah, well, er, I've got to get away.
07:16Well, I'll drop you.
07:17Oh, no, it's all right.
07:17That is, if I may.
07:20So.
07:22Right.
07:23I'll get you a change, then.
07:24What a national oil.
07:43Having fun, are we?
07:44Oh, hello, love.
07:45Oh, just a man I wanted to see.
07:47I'll bet.
07:48Yeah.
07:50If you can drag yourself away, like a couple of drinks, please.
07:52You want one?
07:53No time, Mick.
07:54I'm all right.
07:54Please yourself.
07:56Just the two bar made.
07:58Mickey.
08:01Tar.
08:05Oh, it was Moe I wanted to see, really.
08:08Oh, really?
08:08You do surprise me.
08:10You fancy coming to an amateur league match with me, Matt?
08:12When?
08:13Tonight.
08:14That is if it's all right with you.
08:15It's got Friggle to do with him.
08:17I go where I like.
08:18When I like.
08:20That's right, isn't it?
08:21Pal.
08:21Within reason, pal.
08:24I'll gather I'm not invited, Uncle.
08:25I'd like to, Mickey.
08:26But I've only got the two tickets.
08:28One for me.
08:28And a spare.
08:29Oh, yeah.
08:31You ain't exactly subtle, are you?
08:33Don't know what you mean.
08:34Cobblers!
08:34You know what I'm talking about.
08:36Hey.
08:38All a man has done is ask me if I want to go to a match.
08:40And do you?
08:41Yeah.
08:41As it happens, yeah.
08:42I wouldn't mind.
08:43Your timing is perfect, Uncle, innit?
08:45Yeah.
08:48And yours ain't bad either.
08:56What's up with him?
08:58He's got a cob on because I bid some punter too easy.
09:00Oh, yeah?
09:02Winning isn't enough for him, Dave.
09:04I've got to bid the guys his way.
09:07He's driving the bananas.
09:12All right, fellas.
09:14Let's see what he can do.
09:18All right, Enope.
09:26Off you go, Enopee.
09:27All right.
09:49I'm going to kill your wallet!
10:02It's all good, Tommy. We'll have to come.
10:04We're so close, Prince.
10:05I know! I've run it well now!
10:10It's all right, Norm. Just that last bit.
10:13It'll be all right, Bryn. I've just got to get all the levers sussed out now.
10:16It'll be all right.
10:17Why don't we get someone in that we'll show them the ropes?
10:21Lake Coo.
10:23An old friend of ours used to drive one of these for a living.
10:26Oh, yes.
10:32Don't do it, son.
10:34Watch it, Ron.
10:37What's all this? Not opening tonight.
10:38Well, it's quiet. The girls can manage.
10:43Teen figured you'd be down here.
10:45Is that right?
10:46Yeah.
10:48You know, Mickey, you're very hard on that little lady of time, son.
10:52Is this going to be a fatherly chat, Ron?
10:54Hey, if you was my son, I'd have kicked your backside all round Will's mother's a long time ago.
11:00You've got away with words.
11:01Yeah, haven't I, just.
11:05You know, if I was a bit younger, you wouldn't get her looking as far as she's concerned, you know?
11:13What, are you hurting her?
11:14What, are you hurting her?
11:14I ain't hurting her, Ron.
11:15You are, you're hurting the girl, son.
11:18She worships the ground you walk on, you know that.
11:20Well, it's just as well you ain't younger, then, innit?
11:25Sorry, you came down looking for a rug.
11:27Yeah, we've been friends a long time.
11:30And as a friend, I've got to tell you, you're behaving like a bloody fool.
11:33You're so wrapped up with Snooker and Moe and yourself, you forget the little lady exists.
11:39You're all done.
11:40Not by a long way, Uncle.
11:42Not by a long way.
12:01Right, nearly there.
12:04Lovely place, Dave.
12:06Yeah, I like it.
12:08I was up at your place earlier.
12:11Slummin' it, are you?
12:12No, I was having a little chat with your sister.
12:15Nice girl, too.
12:16Yeah.
12:17She's great.
12:19Bit of a nag at times.
12:22That's sisters, innit?
12:23Yeah.
12:24Mind you, she's a right to be concerned.
12:26She's bound to worry about you, Moe.
12:28Yeah.
12:29Yeah, I suppose.
12:30Strange, nice girl like her getting involved with a bloke like me.
12:33Strange, nice strange.
12:35Oh, don't get me wrong.
12:36I mean, Mickey's all right as a bloke like, but a messer, you know what I mean?
12:43Yeah.
12:44Yeah, I suppose you're right.
12:45I know those blokes that can't ever seem to get anything right.
12:48But always seems to be dabbling in things he don't know about.
12:52Strange.
12:53Right, fit.
12:55Yeah.
13:00Everyone thinks it's easy, Ron.
13:02You think it's easy.
13:03Tina thinks it's easy.
13:04Oh, grow up, Mick.
13:04I mean, listen, son.
13:05I mean, you chose your way of life.
13:07Nobody twisted your arm, did they?
13:09Oh, sure.
13:10I mean, you want to duck and dive and wheel and deal.
13:12Well, okay.
13:13Well, good luck to you.
13:14But what you've got to learn to understand is how your outlook affects the people around
13:19you if people don't understand you.
13:21What, like Tina, I suppose?
13:21Yeah.
13:22I mean, like I said, she loves you, but she don't understand you.
13:25God knows sometimes neither do I.
13:27Don't you?
13:28No.
13:29Sometimes you baffle me.
13:31Why?
13:32Because I don't work.
13:33Because I won't get a proper job and do what proper people do and be so busy earning a
13:37living I don't earn any money.
13:38Oh, you ain't so original, Ricky.
13:41No.
13:42No, what baffles me, son, is your lack of feelings to people who are close to you.
13:46You're messy, son.
13:48You're kicking the arse off of being a flim-flam man.
13:51Sometimes you're brilliant and then just where it matters most you go right the other way
13:54and end up playing a wally.
13:57One extreme to the other at the drop of a hat.
13:59Have you quite done?
14:01Yeah.
14:01Good.
14:07Like I said, you've got away with words, haven't you?
14:27Cheers.
14:27Thanks, sir.
14:28Well, what do you think of the first round, then, Moe?
14:30This is good.
14:31He's good, isn't he?
14:32Guy from Cafford.
14:33Yeah.
14:33Got a good future.
14:34Being out, all right.
14:36Looking forward to Thursday.
14:37Yeah, I took a bit of spring pulling, mate.
14:39Yeah?
14:39Yeah.
14:40I mean, you're good.
14:41Better than most your age.
14:43Better be honest.
14:45Well, you don't deserve a chance.
14:47Why not?
14:49These lads have served their time, worked their way up through the ranks.
14:53What do you think I'm doing here?
14:54I'm doing me time, aren't I?
14:55Is that what you think?
14:56You see it like that?
14:58Yeah.
14:59What do you think?
15:00You really want me to answer that?
15:02Yeah, of course I do.
15:04You'll be in news, Moe.
15:06And to be perfectly frank, waste it.
15:09You're in with the wrong company, son.
15:16Well, without breaching any confidentiality, I can tell you that news night will be back
15:19on the air again tomorrow at 10.45.
15:22We hope you'll join us again there.
15:23Until then...
15:23Moe, not home yet.
15:24Me and all of us on the program, fair good night to you.
16:14I'm sorry, girl.
16:18I've acted like a right Wally, haven't I?
16:24Mickey. Oh, Mickey.
16:28You're such a hard man to love.
16:32Yeah.
16:34It's got to be an understatement, hasn't it?
16:41I love you so much.
16:44But it's hard work.
16:48Yeah.
16:50Strange, isn't it?
16:52It's easy loving you, girl.
17:00I'll see you.
17:01Think about what I said, mate, OK? There's no rush.
17:03Hey, thanks for bringing us, Dave.
17:04My pleasure.
17:06Right, I'll drop you home, son.
17:07Way past my kit.
17:13Oh, Mickey.
17:21Oh, get out of here.
17:27Here.
17:28What?
17:29Again.
17:37Here.
17:38I hope that brother of mine's got his key with him.
17:41Yeah, well, it's too bad if he ate, wasn't it?
17:55He's very lucky.
18:10Nick, you all right?
18:12It's like having kids, eh?
18:14Yeah, I know.
18:15It's such a problem, isn't it?
18:18Nick, I need to talk to you.
18:26Yeah.
18:27Tina's asleep.
18:29We'll talk in the morning, OK?
18:30No, we'll take long.
18:31No, we'll talk then.
18:32Now, go to bed.
18:33Go on.
18:34What, first thing then?
18:34Yeah, yeah.
18:35We'll talk while we jog.
18:37Nick.
18:37Shh, goodnight.
18:49One, two, three, six, and five, six, six, eight, nine.
18:55And then again, two, five, six, seven, eight, nine.
19:11And then again, five, six, seven, eight, nine, and ten.
19:17Now, legs up.
19:19Thank you, Frank.
19:20Good.
19:26Everything all right, Tommy?
19:28Yeah.
19:28We're in the clear.
19:30According to Dick's brother, they had him for dealing in pint machines.
19:32Well, that's something, anyway.
19:34We don't know enough about us, Bryn.
19:35As far as he knows, we had him booked to dig ditches.
19:38Just as well, the way things turned out.
19:41What about Mickey knows?
19:42Oh, Knob and Bill are picking him up about now.
19:45I ain't so sure it's a good idea, though, Bryn.
19:47I'm not double-keying myself, Tommy.
19:50Do you reckon he'll do it?
19:52Well, he'll do it.
19:53He owes me.
19:56All right, come on, guys.
20:07This guy's really done a number on you, eh, son?
20:09The Joe Knighty standings wound you up like a clock.
20:11It's not a wind-up, me.
20:12The guy knows his onions.
20:13Yeah.
20:15I know his game, Maurice.
20:16It's not a game.
20:19Look, sometimes I think you just play at being a wally.
20:24I mean, look, if you want me to move over, all you've got to do, son, is come right out
20:28and say it.
20:28I'm not going to make it easy for you.
20:29Who says I wonder?
20:31Your new pal does.
20:32Make no mistake.
20:34Listen, he's a stroke-puller from way back.
20:36That's a classic coming from you, innit?
20:39You've got more strokes than Oxford and Cambridge put together, you have.
20:42Yeah, and without them, you'd be ramping on at the labour every week, along with three million other poor bastards.
20:46Very clever.
20:46Without me, you'd be sitting in a bleeding wheelchair.
20:49You just remember that.
21:04Hello, Slag.
21:05How's it going, then?
21:06All right?
21:07Keeping fit, are we?
21:09Oh, leave us out, lads.
21:10Brinley wants to have a nice, quiet whirlwind, would he?
21:12Look, tell Brinley he'll have his dough by the end of the week, yeah?
21:15Tell him yourself.
21:17Get in the motor.
21:19I checked you out of the run with the lads.
21:21Everything's looking real good.
21:23Good.
21:26Oh, our guest is out ahead.
21:50Hello, Mickey.
21:52Glad you could find the time.
21:54Brin?
21:54He don't look very happy, does he, Brin?
21:57Oh, you filthy nonce.
21:58Listen, he took the grand I owe you, Brin.
22:00That's not the way I heard it, Mickey.
22:02You ought to be very careful what you're saying, son.
22:05Leave it out.
22:06I don't want to know about your agro, right?
22:09Just keep him quiet, then.
22:10Listen, you've done me up for a grand.
22:12Get it off him, Brin, you filthy nonce.
22:14Nunt.
22:23Come on, then, get him drunk.
22:25Come on.
22:26Come on.
22:26Come on.
22:31Brin!
22:32Brin!
22:34Get him off, Brin!
22:36Oh, for Christ's sake.
22:38Nobby, Billy, Brin come up.
22:40Right.
22:43Hold on up now, Slade!
22:44Turn it up, now, turn it up.
22:46Get him out of here, Brin.
22:47Get him out of here.
22:48Let him turn it in.
22:49Turn it in, will you?
22:53I'll give him nonce.
22:58Now, you try that once more, and I'm gonna have you chopped up.
23:03You hear me?
23:06Brin, do what you're bleeding well like, mate.
23:08I've had you lot up to here.
23:09Shut up!
23:10All right, call it.
23:12You, come with me.
23:22Now, you listen to me.
23:24I'm downstairs straight.
23:26Well, so help me, Mickey.
23:30A little bird tells me you can handle one of these.
23:32What if I can?
23:33Can or can't?
23:35Yeah.
23:37Yeah, I can.
23:40Good.
23:42Show me.
23:44Come on, have a nice bit of Lucky Whitehead.
23:46Oh, come on.
23:47You've got a lucky face.
23:48Come on, darling.
23:49Have you had an order in here?
23:50I've told you before several times.
23:51Come on.
23:51You'll bring bad luck on me.
23:53Yes, well, I'll face that when it comes.
23:53Well, you mark my words.
23:55Don't you worry, love.
23:55Push me out a bit.
23:56Yeah, Moby.
24:04Who gave us a pint?
24:05You look happy.
24:12You've got a game on this afternoon, haven't you?
24:14So what?
24:15Oh, sorry I spoke.
24:19Where's Mickey?
24:20Well, I don't know, do I?
24:25You two been at it again.
24:28Right, you know.
24:29You drive me up the wall.
24:35So why's he ever, sir?
24:36Come on.
24:37No, no, I've got no change.
24:38Come on.
24:39Come on.
24:40Oh, go on then.
24:42Have a nice day.
24:50Hello, Dad.
24:51Hello.
24:51What are you doing?
24:52No, no, I'll get them.
24:53Jack Daniels, not too small team.
24:54And one for yourself.
24:56No, thanks.
24:57Oh.
24:59Here you are, son.
25:00Be lucky.
25:44Come on.
25:49Come on.
25:50Play them!
25:54What are you doing?
25:59Come on.
26:00Give me the door.
26:00Oh, God.
26:00There you are.
26:01If you're going to try.
26:27It's coming.
26:28He's absolutely mad!
27:08He's a knock of killers!
27:09Leave it out, there's only a bit of fun.
27:12Yeah, Lenny, it's just a bit of nonsense.
27:13I said leave it out!
27:16I'm back home.
27:22Very good, Mickey. I'm impressed.
27:25You've got the job, as they say.
27:28I don't need a job, Bryn.
27:31Come with me.
27:33Did you ever see that movie with Paul Newman?
27:36Butch Cassidy?
27:36No, The Hustler, I think it was called.
27:38Yeah, I saw that.
27:39Very good, wasn't it?
27:41Remember the bit where the bag guy broke his thumbs?
27:43I liked that bit, very subtle.
27:45Yeah, very subtle, Bryn.
27:47Well, in the movie, Paul Newman gets all better and makes a big comeback.
27:51If they'd have chopped his hands right off, that would have been his lot, right?
27:55It's very simple, Mickey.
27:56Oh, Bryn.
27:56All I want from you is a bit of your valuable time.
27:59Time?
27:59Aye.
28:00You teach my friend Nobby there the basic rudiments of handling that machine.
28:04Teach?
28:04Nobby?
28:05Don't try to refuse, Mickey.
28:07My little friend could find it very difficult to play snooker without his hands.
28:10Oh, Bryn.
28:11And your little lady could find it very dangerous when she goes shopping.
28:14Do you know what I mean?
28:17Yeah.
28:21Good.
28:24Take it or leave it.
28:25It's up to you.
28:26Look, Paul, it deals a score a frame, right?
28:28There's no area for debate, friend.
28:30I don't care what arrangements you made when Mickey knows.
28:32It's £50 a frame or nothing.
28:34Talk about it amongst yourselves if you like, but let me know, okay?
28:37Cool.
28:38What are you doing?
28:38What's going on?
28:40I don't want to interfere with your manager's arrangements, Moe,
28:42but to be perfectly honest with you, he's not getting enough of your talents.
28:45I don't understand.
28:47Oh, shh.
28:47Here they come.
28:49Okay, mate.
28:51Fifth it is.
28:52Let's play some snooker.
28:53Right, sir.
29:08You are a wally, son.
29:10Listen, how many times have I got to tell you,
29:13buck it up and keep your revs moving all the time?
29:15Yeah, buck it up and keep the revs moving all the time,
29:18and leave out the wally, all right?
29:20Keep your eye on things.
29:36Mickey?
29:44Yeah?
29:44Be here tomorrow.
29:4511.30.
29:46No, I can't, Bryn.
29:47I've got to go to Birmingham.
29:48That does not have a debate.
29:49Be here.
29:56Go on.
29:56Keep it, Moe.
29:57It's your money.
29:58All I did was up the ante.
29:59Oh, yeah, Dave.
30:01And the way you did it was a classic.
30:04150 liquor for two hours' work.
30:06Rent money.
30:07Not bad.
30:08Not bad?
30:09Brilliant.
30:11Tell you what.
30:13They're taking Mickey till about 9 o'clock tonight
30:14to get that kind of money out of them mugs.
30:16Yeah, it was bad news, old Mickey,
30:17not showing up for that little match, Moe.
30:20Uh...
30:21Never done that before.
30:22No?
30:23Well, bad news, just the same.
30:24Is science, in fact, as precise as the lawyers wanted to be?
30:28Our report, the whole truth, is next week.
30:32That's all for tonight.
30:33From us all here, good-bye.
30:43Where the hell have you been?
30:45We did have a match this afternoon.
30:47Yeah, I know.
30:48I had a bit of urgent business, see.
30:49Came up all of a sudden.
30:50Which team?
30:51Gone to work?
30:51What urgent business?
30:53Like I said, urgent business.
30:55I'm sorry, OK?
30:57No, it's not OK.
31:00Listen.
31:01If it hadn't been for Dave.
31:02Dave?
31:03Dave Nelson?
31:04Yeah.
31:05Dave Nelson?
31:06If it hadn't been for Dave Nelson, I'd never have got there on time, would I?
31:09You went to our match with that snake.
31:11Oh, come on, what else was I supposed to do?
31:12You weren't around, were you?
31:17I might have guessed he'd have been there.
31:19You got a thing about Dave Nelson?
31:20Look, I know what his game is.
31:24He's trying to out me.
31:25Oh, covers.
31:26Morris!
31:26He's a smooth-talking bastard with plenty of this.
31:28You know what your trouble is?
31:29What?
31:30You judge everybody by your own standards.
31:33Everybody's a stroke puller.
31:34Yeah.
31:35Is that right?
31:35Yeah.
31:43How'd you get on?
31:47There you are.
31:50It's an hour and a half's work.
31:55Did well.
31:56Very well.
31:57150 quid.
31:59Well.
32:00And Dave never took a single penny of it.
32:05Want some tea?
32:08Look, Mo, about the arrangements in the morning.
32:11What about them?
32:11You see, something's come up and...
32:14You what?
32:14I'm sorry, son.
32:15It's really urgent.
32:16Come on, what is it?
32:16Look, we'll have to give the game a miss.
32:19I can't make it.
32:19You've got to be joking.
32:20Look, let me explain, please.
32:21No, let me explain.
32:23Listen, I want to be a pro player.
32:25Right?
32:25I don't care how long it takes or what it takes.
32:27I'm going to make it.
32:28Yeah, I know that, Mo.
32:28And if you think I'm going to miss that match tomorrow because of you, think again, mate.
32:32Think again.
32:33Please, Morris.
32:33Please.
32:34Look, let me explain, son.
32:37Look, it's not what you think, Mo.
32:38But, Morris, please!
32:48Your question.
32:49What would you...
32:50Look, Roy, I'm telling you, the kid's a bit wild, but he's mustard.
32:53I kid you not.
32:56Well, like I said, a minor problem, but I'm working on it.
33:02Yeah, you got it.
33:04Look, we'll be up about to...
33:06Hang on, Roy.
33:08Someone at the door.
33:17I'm going to go.
33:20Hello, Mo.
33:20Hi, Dave.
33:22Look, I'm on the phone.
33:24Is it all right?
33:24Sure, come in, come in.
33:28Take a seat.
33:29I'll go with you in a minute.
33:30Yeah, no panic.
33:35Hello, Roy.
33:36Roy.
33:37Oh, I thought you were going to go.
33:40No.
33:41As it happens, better than that.
33:44Right.
33:45Listen, I'll see you tomorrow.
33:47Cheers.
33:49Well, surprise, surprise.
33:51Come and have a drink.
33:5619.
33:57Yeah, nice, love.
33:59Come on, Jim.
33:59Come on, Katie.
34:00Don't give me a drink.
34:01Not on.
34:02Here.
34:02I'll give you an hand.
34:03Oh, bless you.
34:04Come along, Kate.
34:05Take him home.
34:05He's had his ration.
34:13No, Mickey?
34:14No.
34:16No.
34:16No, Morris either.
34:18Yeah, hang on.
34:24Can I intercept her?
34:26Yeah, yeah, of course.
34:28Yeah, hang on.
34:29Miss Mo.
34:30Good morning.
34:33Hello, love.
34:36You what?
34:53Mo?
34:56Is that you, Morris?
35:00Oh, hello, Doc.
35:02What's going on, love?
35:03On?
35:04Why?
35:05Nothing.
35:05Nothing, eh?
35:06Where's Morris, then?
35:08Down here, I suppose.
35:09He took his cue when he left.
35:10Mickey, Morris phoned me at the pub.
35:13Yeah?
35:13Yeah, that's right.
35:15You two been at it again, haven't you?
35:17Honestly, I swear you're like a couple of big kids.
35:19Well, what did he phone you for?
35:21Well, he is my brother, you know.
35:22I know that, Tina.
35:23Now, what do you say?
35:24He told me it was going to spend the night at that Dave Nelson's.
35:27He what?
35:28Yeah, that's right, Dave Nelson's.
35:30He's staying the night there and travelling up to the Midlands with him tomorrow.
35:33Oh, no, I don't believe this.
35:35According to Morris, you can't go with him to Birmingham tomorrow, why not?
35:38Because I can't, Tina, that's why.
35:39What's going on, Mickey?
35:40Tell us.
35:40I've got some very urgent business.
35:41You're lying to me, Mickey.
35:42I am not lying!
35:45I've got a pair of your diamond brains in!
35:49The Morris family are drowning me!
35:55Come on, Mo, you should be feeling happy, son.
35:57Yeah?
35:59You're better off without him, straight up.
36:01Hmm.
36:02Of course.
36:04Stands to reason, son.
36:05You're good, I'll make you great.
36:08Will you?
36:09Sure!
36:10I'll have you playing the top boys in no time.
36:12You watch.
36:13It's going to be great, Mo.
36:14I'll graft mine, but great.
36:17Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
36:19Of course it is.
36:20Uncle.
36:33Very good, Nobby.
36:35I think you'll do.
36:36I told you, Bryn.
36:38It's a piece of cake.
36:59Can I go now, Bryn?
37:01Yes.
37:02I don't see why not.
37:04I'll tell you what, Mickey.
37:05Since you've been so useful, I'll give you one more month to settle your account with me.
37:11And what's more, I'll knock off the interest for last month, okay?
37:15You're all out, mate.
37:17I should watch your mouth, son.
37:19Remember, Mickey, one month, and I want my door.
37:24Bryn?
37:26Yes?
37:27What's this all about?
37:28You going into plant eye business?
37:33No, I didn't think you were.
37:46Yes, sir.
37:49Mo Morris leads.
37:50Yes, sir.
37:50Five games to fall.
37:52Tenth frame.
37:52Mo Morris to break.
37:55Quiet, gentlemen, please.
37:57Quiet!
38:41One.
38:43Two.
38:45Two.
38:46Two.
39:08Knowing.
39:26It's alright, Uncle. My mate's playing in there. My name's Notes. Okay, Mickey Notes?
39:30Sorry, you're not allowed in. Look, I won't tell you again, Uncle.
39:34My mate's playing in there and I want to see you. Mo!
39:40Morris! Morris!
39:42Any more of your lip and I shall have to spank you.
39:45Dave! Dave! Just tell your banker a little to let go, will you?
39:49What are you doing here, Mickey? I thought you got business somewhere else.
39:51I finished earlier than I thought. Where's Mo?
39:52You've had a wasted trip, son. What do you mean?
39:55Mo is now under new management. He no longer requires your services.
39:59Don't you give me that bull, Uncle. Where is he?
40:01And speaking as his new advisor, I think it best you don't see the lad.
40:04You'll only upset him. I want to see Mo.
40:08Morris! Morris!
40:12You flash kick. You've had the yellow card, Mickey.
40:15Now give him the red one.
40:18Mo!
40:23Morris!
40:24Mo!
40:34Don't worry, son. It's sussed. You sit down and concentrate on the game.
40:38I'll do it.
40:39You sit down and concentrate on the game.
40:54I'll do it.
40:54Oh, Mo.
40:56Mo.
40:58Oh, Mo.
41:08You'll pay, son.
41:10Excuse me. Sorry.
41:32You all right, son?
41:35You OK, Mo?
41:37He was always laughing.
41:40He was just laughing all the time.
41:43What's he on, Dave?
41:44Nothing. What's the matter, son?
41:45Where's me?
41:48Hey, where's me oppo?
41:51He's tired, that's all. It's a trip. He don't travel well.
41:53Look, come and sit down, son.
41:54Let go of me, will you?
41:58You've hurt him, haven't you?
42:00Oh, not me, son.
42:03Oh, great.
42:05Dave.
42:06Dave.
42:08I'm sorry, Dave.
42:11It's...

43:02A daring robbery took place last night here in London.
43:05A gang of armed robbers used a mechanical digger
43:08to rip off the roof of a wailing van.
43:10Later, after a dramatic chase through London's West End,
43:14police arrested and detained five members of the gang.
43:17Scotland Yard said this morning they were pursuing...
43:19Mickey, love, you look dreadful.
43:23Yeah, I'm not feeling so good either.
43:27I'll make a fresh pot of tea, eh?
43:33Let's see what the place in Europe has in store for us today
43:37as we go over to the London Weather Centre to see if you're...
43:47They all got done.
43:51They've all got nicked.
43:54Brinley.
43:57Nobby.
44:00Lenny.
44:03Who the hell's that?
44:05I'm free.
44:07I'm bloody well free.
44:10Mersey.
44:12Oi!
44:13What's your game, eh?
44:15What are you on about?
44:16Well, first they say you're not coming and then you do come
44:18and leave me to get the beaten coach home on me own.
44:20You've got some flippin' front you have, son.
44:22What a great partner you are, Mick. Why did you leave me?
44:25What about you? You went up there without me, remember?
44:27Yes, so what?
44:28So what? So what? You're a flippin' headcase, Morris.
44:30No, don't call me Morris. I've told you.
44:32Hold this! Hold this!
44:33Keep out of this, doll.
44:34Morris.
44:35Uncle.
44:40What's the matter with you? What's so funny?
44:42You are a pair of bears.
44:44We're still partners, aren't we?
44:46Are you still up, I was?
44:47Oh, I don't know, mate.
44:48I mean, you know, the way I've looked after you and, er...
44:51And, er, you know, you can just now...
44:56Sorry.
44:58Steady.
44:58Oi, oi, oi, steady on. Steady on.
45:01Steady on.
45:04Look at you.
45:08No.
