Good night, sweetheart.

All my prayers are for you. Good night,

sweetheart. I'll be watching all you.

Tears and crying may make us alone.

But with the dawn,

a new day is born.

Thought I might go into work today.

You know, see how it goes.

See how Ron is.

Yeah, I think I'll chance it for a couple of hours. Hang the flags out.

Come on, Yvonne, I'm looking for a bit of encouragement here. I've been ill.

Yes, like you said.

Right, I'm off to work.

Yeah, I think I'll chance it for a couple of hours.

Just because it's mental and not physical, do you think I'm making it up?

think you're dragging it out.

You know, it's a good job one of us can go to work, isn't it?

then? Well, you're not ill, are you?

No, I'm not ill.

What?

What's wrong?

Oh, this isn't the right time.

Yvonne, tell me.

I'm late.

You're late?

Yes, I'm late.

Well, you'd better get going then.

Gary,

this is both our faults.

No, you set me along and you were telling me to do that.

Oh.

Well, you mean that late?

How late?

A week.

Ten days.

Yeah?

Well, and that's long, is it? Or is that short?

Well, we were sort of trying, weren't we?

Yeah, yeah, of course. Yeah, well, why aren't we jumping for joy and opening

bottles of champagne?

Well, you know, it's like you said, it's only been ten days.

And you've gone that long before, haven't you? Oh, Gary, I'm late.

Yeah, I think we've established that.

No, for work.

We'll talk about it later.

Yeah, but you have gone this long before, haven't you?

No.

Who has a clue?

Is it animal, vegetable or mineral?

It's Yvonne.

She's... Getting fat?

No. She's...

Ah, the penny drops.

The fairy von is with child.

Yes. Well, no, well, maybe, I don't know. It's only been ten days.

Oh, is that late?

Oh, late, late.

As far as I can gather, it's sort of early late.

What are you going to do, Ron?

I think you've already done it, haven't you?

You've passed on the baton, as it were.

You're panting at the side of the track as Yvonne thunders down the home

straight. Well done, that man.

Wrong. I am freaking petrified.

I know we were trying for one, but I can't have a kid. What about Phoebe?

Yvonne and me aren't exactly hitting it off at the moment. How am I supposed to

cope with a baby? It's a nightmare, Ron. It's a bloody nightmare.

Just a shot in the dark.

But do I detect a slight lack of enthusiasm about the happy event?

I'm no good with kids.

God, it might be a girl. It might be a girl, mightn't it, Ron? Yeah.

But that's even worse.

If it was a boy, I'd know how to deal with it. You know, I've been there, I've

done that, I know how they work.

If it was a boy, I could chuck a ball and it'd run after it.

It'd run after it?

We are talking about a child, not a wire -haired terrier.

Call me Daddy.

I'll have to push it on a swing, read it bedtime stories.

Oh, no.

Hold these, will you?

Martin, who packed the Wilson stuff?

Congratulations, it's a go.

A lot wrong.

Tonight, as always here at BBC Sport, we're bringing you all the best dishes

from the British Sporting Kitchen.

And when you hear this evening's menu, I think you'll agree that any other

dishes will not be necessary.

We'll be talking to the possible future captain... of the England Rugby 15, live

by satellite from his millionaire beach retreat in Florida, and answering, is

rugby union still an amateur game?

We're going down under for the latest in cricket, across the water for golf.

The first football in just 20 minutes to go before the final whistle blows on

tonight's football feat at Wembley, England versus Germany.

We've got the whole match coming up later exclusively here on BBC.

Officially, it's a friendly, of course, but can there ever be a friendly between

these two old enemies?

And the question is, can England manage the unthinkable? Can they beat Germany?

Yeah, well, we have done it before, mate.

Oh,

my God.

I've got a ditch on my head. I don't know. Do you really want to be back in a

couple of hours? You couldn't possibly...

And if he's a bit slow to react this evening, we shouldn't be too surprised.

spent most of last night in a Berlin hospital, attending the birth of his

child.

Give me a break.

Gary!

What are you having?

Oh, just a half a bitter, Reg. Can't stop long. Where's Phoebe?

Powder in her nose.

You've been watching the International, then?

Pardon me?

The Friendly, at Wembley.

England versus Scotland.

Oh, right, there's a match on, is there? Well, not now.

It's afternoon, of course.

Can't play football in the dark, can you?

Mind you, the game's not what it was. Too much money in it, if you ask me. Oh,

now, that's true.

Look at those transfer fees. It's ridiculous.

I know.

I mean, look at that bloke that Spurs bought before the war.

Do you know how much they're paying him?

No. How much, Rash?

£8 .17 and six a week.

And a free supply of dubbing. And he's hardly old enough to shave.

Where's it all going to end? That's what I want to know.

10 ,000 a week suing each other in opening nightclubs.

You can joke about it if you want, but I'm being serious.

Hello, Gary.

Hi. I didn't expect to see you in here tonight. I thought you'd be on duty.

No, I just popped out for an hour.

Somebody's got to mind the shop.

Oh, that reminds me. Reg, when the draymen come on Tuesday, no shorts, all

right? I have got some standards, Phoebe.

I don't even wear shorts when men and missus go to crack dinner.

I mean to drink. They get one pint each and that's that. I won't be here, but I

shall be watching over you, OK?

Message received and understood.

Are you going somewhere?

Ever such a long way away.

Buckinghamshire.

That's far.

It's only for a couple of days.

I'm going to see my cousins. They've been evacuated to the country.

Poor little souls.

Mum and Dad died during the Blitz.

Yeah.

Really looking forward going to... Buckinghamshire.

Well, I think... I mean, it's just a guess, but I think you're a little bit

worried about going to Buckinghamshire.

I missed all that country, so I'll be nice. I'm really looking forward to it.

Oh, come with me, Gary. I'm a city girl.

I like streets and brick walls. I like to feel the pavement underneath my feet.

Do you know they have animals in the country?

Yes, so that was a possibility.

And bats and owls and things that fly into your hair at night.

Phoebe, I'm not a natural history expert, but I think the chances of an

flying into your hair, even in Buckinghamshire, is pretty remote.

Oh, come with me, Gary. It's only for a couple of days. What do you say?

A couple of... No, I...

I can't, Phoebe.

People would find out.

No, they wouldn't. We could say we were married, you know.

Mr and Mrs Sparrow.

Imagine, just you and me, and all that country air, alone, like we've never

alone.

There's lots of things you can do in the countryside you can't do here.

Like what?

You know.

I must admit, the proposition does have its attractions.

Hey, Mrs...

Do you mind you don't start a stampede, Reg?

Anyway, I've got to go. Love you and leave you, Phoebe. No, you don't.

No, you leave me, but you never love me, not properly.

You know what I mean?

I won't always be like this, Phoebe.

Oh, yeah?

So when's it going to change, then?

Buckinghamshire?

Right, Reg?

Warm in here, isn't it, Rachel?

So we're moving now into the very last minute of this brilliant day. It's been

real rollercoaster of a night, but can there possibly still be another shock in

store? What shock? What's happened?

Surely there's nothing else left to happen in this truly extraordinary game.

Still Shearer. Across there to Letizia. Forward to Shearer again. He's onside.

How?

And it's all over. And the final whistle bleeds a scoreline that will surely

reverberate around the world of football.

Over then?

Yeah. Good match?

Yeah. Yeah. Very good.

What happened?

It's difficult to explain unless you're an expert.

No, I've... I've nosed off.

Oh, Gary, come here. Oh, we all enjoyed ourselves, did we? Hey, I'm not drunk.

I've been on mineral water all night.

Best not to drink in my condition, don't you think?

Oh, that, yeah.

Oh, I really want it, you know, Gary.

I wasn't sure this morning, then this afternoon I was, and then I went off the

idea, and now... Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Forget the idea.

So, it's still green for go, then?

And you're pleased?

Oh, it's going to be great, Gary.

It's going to be the making of us. This is what we needed.

Yeah.

I'm going to go and see my mum at the weekend and tell her the news.

Do you want me to come?

Well, do you want to?

Did the early Christians have a choice?

Well, I've never felt really welcome there since that incident with that

Yorkshire terrier.

I was supposed to know it slept under the flying moon.

Well, I'm away. Why don't you try and do a little bit more than sitting here

being Mr Couch Potato?

What do you mean?

Well, get out and about. You know, dig the garden, plant some bulbs, go for a

walk in the countryside.

Fucking sis.

Isn't this great, Gary?

Great.

It would have been a damn sight lovelier if there'd been a taxi at the station.

Oh, my God.

The cow.

Big thing, with horns.

You know where the milk comes from?

Silly. I knew what it was.

No, you didn't. I heard that.

I just wasn't expecting Kaz to be hiding behind that hedge.

Well, they did think about keeping him on the road, but it never really caught

on.

This note must be out of date, Gary.

M25, what's that?

It's on the road.

Sheep.

Big woolly thing.

Makes a sort of bowering noise. I know that. It's the noises they make I'm not

used to.

Come here.

Didn't the sheep mind if we shared their field?

Well, better not.

They're not used to the sort of noises we make, are they?

Well, better be getting along, huh?

I thought you said we were nearly there, Gary. We are nearly there, according to

this map. According to your map, we were nearly there two hours ago.

Would you look at that?

Look at those darts.

Yeah.

It'd be lovely with a bit of bread sauce.

Somebody always has to spoil it, doesn't they?

Oh, isn't it lovely, Gary?

It'll be ever so handy for the M25.

Look at you.

You have got so big.

He likes his food, does that, Peter?

Have you heard from Mum and Dad?

No, no, I haven't, sweetheart.

They're still away.

Here, I want you to say hello to someone. This is Gary.

He's my husband.

That's right, isn't it, Gary?

Yes, yes, that's right. And I'm his wife.

How long have you been married now, then?

Six months.

Can't be that long. Two months? Make it six. Six?

Well, whatever you say.

I'll put you in the big bedroom across the hall.

Well, go on then. Say hello to the kids.

Hello there.

Very pleased to meet you.

Schoolwork going all right, is it?

Gary, they were just kids.

Well, what am I supposed to do?

Uncle Harry!

Oh, no, I'm on the ropes!

Winner. Princess.

Will you marry me?

No. You might.

Is that it? You might marry me?

Okay, then.

Okay.

Who wants it?

Tina, you share it.

That's what you're supposed to do.

Oh, hi.

Hello. Sorry, I just came to see if the old lady had any eggs.

Harry.

Harry met us.

Phoebe, Bamford, Sparrow, Sparrow. This is Gary.

You're American.

Gary. Well, he is, I can tell.

Well, I thought we'd have to get involved sooner or later, so... Later

than sooner, as usual.

So, when can we expect the rest of you?

It's just a matter of time.

Gary's my husband.

Yes, that's right.

I'm her husband.

So what do you do, Gary?

Oh, you know, bits and bolts.

Play the piano.

Yeah, I'm pretty good at tickling the old ivories.

What do you do?

I'm flight navigator with one of the bomber crews at the airbase.

Just came back from a flight over the Baltic.

Took a lot of flack.

Came back on one engine.

So what do you play on the piano, then?

Well, you know, stuff.

Stuff?

Yeah, well, I think I'd better go and have a wash and brush up.

Phoebe, you coming?

In a minute.

Don't you want a wash and brush up?

No, not really.

You can watch me shaving.

Why would I want to watch you shaving?

Because you're my wife, darling.

Oh, yeah.

I'll be along in a minute.

Darling.

You've been married long.

Oh, you know.

Sort of.

Yeah?

Listen.

I don't want you to think I'm...

But if you need anything, I can get things maybe you find difficult.

Stockings and stuff.

Oh, no, no, no.

Gary sees me all right in that department.

Yeah?

I don't suppose there's any other department I can help with.

We were paid over sex and over here.

Pardon me?

Oh, sorry, that particular phrase hasn't become popular yet, has it?

Still, give it time.

Gary, what have you come back for?

Um, your case.

Darling. What's that?

What do you think it is? It's a can of shaving foam. Shaving foam?

You mean you don't have shaving foam in America?

Hell no, we use a shaving stick.

Oh, that old thing.

No, no, no.

Over here we, well, some of us, we use this.

Well, let me demonstrate.

That's impressive, eh?

And that's what an Englishman does when he gets up in the morning.

Well, Hal, I'm impressed.

Listen, the guys at the base, we're having a party for all the kids in the

tomorrow. Maybe you'd like to come?

Oh, yeah, I'd love to. Well, yes, I think my wife and I may be able to fit

into our social diary.

Isn't that right, darling?

Great. About five, yeah?

Catch you later.

Bye, Harry.

You don't like him, do you, Gary?

I don't know.

He just seemed a bit... weird.

Come on, Peter.

A race to the big bed.

I think it's going to rain, you know. Maybe we should go back, forget this

thing. What's wrong with you?

Nothing. Nothing wrong with me.

Perfectly fine and normal.

Says you.

Look, Gary, you're not worried about Harry, are you? I came here to be with

Yeah?

Says you.

Oh, well, it wasn't me that didn't want to last night.

Hey, meaning what?

Meaning it wasn't me that didn't want to last night. You turned away, remember?

I fancy you rotten, and I know you feel the same way about me too, so why didn't

you want to? You've waited long enough.

Look, this isn't the time or the place. Well, it is for me.

Well, what if... You know what happens? Gary, sometimes you have to do what your

heart tells you.

There's only a car, Gary.

Isn't it?

You're getting better.

Come on then, kids. Let's go to the nappy.

See you, darling.

Thank you. You're welcome.

Peter, will you slow down? It's not a race, love.

Sorry, Peter.

You're not hungry, Peter.

Oh, come on.

My phone looks so grumpy.

See you.

See you.

for madame.

Thank you very much.

Come along, please, drink up.

I have a lot of other customers to see, you know. This is a very busy cafe.

Well, if you're going to be like that, you leave me no alternative.

You simply are terrible.

But you'll never come eat in this establishment again, okay?

I just want a smile.

Doesn't have to be a very big smile.

Just a little smile.

Thank you.

Official photographer, shilling a shot for the kids.

Oh, right.

You'll have to send it on.

We're only here for the weekend.

Boys at the base will do it up tonight. You'll have it before you leave.

Take one of Gary's for me, please.

Somebody's got to stop Hitler.

So I volunteered.

That's awfully brave, Harry.

Oh, hey, you people went through the blip.

What have you fireworks going on?

Still,

you've got your family. That's what's important.

I haven't got any family.

I meant your husband.

Oh, Gary.

Oh, yeah, yeah. He's my husband, that's right.

Listen, Ari, um... I think you're right. Yeah.

But the thing is, I don't know quite how to say this.

But you're in love with Gary.

Yeah.

I guess the piano player is a pretty high flyer compared with somebody who's

risking his life for democracy on a day -to -day basis.

Yeah, but...

He's got ever such a kind heart, Harry.

I just hope it happens to me one day.

Oh, it will, it will. You just take care with all that flying and everything.

Am I missing something?

No, nothing.

Harry was saying how much he fancied me, and I was telling him that I think he's

ever so good -looking, but I'm in love with you.

Right.

Phoebe's been telling me you spent some time in the States.

Yeah.

New York. New York, my hometown.

Very briefly.

Very briefly.

Never so briefly, really, when you think about it.

No, Hollywood is my town. Hollywood. My sister lives in Hollywood. Where were

you living?

Where does she live? Beverly Hills.

Oh, that's where you had that apartment of yours, wasn't it, Gary?

Well, there and thereabouts, you know. Phoebe, would you like a dance?

Where was this apartment?

Well, it was, um, Hollywood Boulevard, um, near Sunset Strip, you know, just

where it crosses, uh, Baywatch.

And... You know my sister?

Uh, no, I don't think so.

I was going to say, you know my sister is always saying, Harry, you really must

come visit with us.

But I've never been.

Oh, thank God.

Well, I mean, you really must go. It's great. You'd love it.

Yes, I would like that. I'd like that very much.

Come on, folks, don't be shy.

What were you waiting for? Go on, up you go.

No, I don't want to show up in the restaurant.

You're not Frank Sinatra yet, Gary, so go on.

Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Gary Sparrow!

I'd like to dedicate a song to a very special lady.

In fact, I'd like her to join me up on stage.

He's not talking about me, sweetheart. Come on, up you go.

Yeah, go on.

To lead a better life I

need my love to be here Here

Making each day

Changing my life with a wave of her hand.

Nobody can deny that there's something there.

There.

Running my hands through her hand.

Both of us thinking... Well, you're a changed man.

What came over you?

I don't know.

Was it all right?

I thought that was obvious.

I've never seen you like that before.

No, well, try not to behave like that in the public bar of the Royal Oak.

What would Reg say?

I don't.

Don't be rude.

What made you change your mind?

I love you, Phoebe.

Gary, you don't have to say anything. We both wanted to. Oh, look at you.

The softness of your hair.

The sweetest smile.

That honest innocence.

Mm.

I think the honest innocence may have just taken a bit of a bashing.

I do love you, Kerry.

Look, Phoebe, um... You and me, you know, it's, uh...

It's not going to be easy.

Well, it is.

Well, you know I'm going to have to go away a lot.

I know.

Gary, ever since you walked into the pub last year, you've been the only thing

that's kept me going.

Phoebe. I know you have to go away a lot, but I'm one of the lucky ones.

I'll see much more of my fellow than most women do while this war goes on,

while it does, Gary, I'll settle for whatever bits of your time I can have.

After that, who knows, eh?

Yeah.

Yeah, who knows?

One of our brave boys back after another perilous mission to free Europe from

tyranny? Gary, I know that's better than anyone that's a German bomber.

Oh, OK.

So it's one of Goering's goons limping back to Deutschland with his tail

his legs.

He wouldn't be interested in bombing an open field in Buckinghamshire, would he?

Well, that wasn't a bloody cow, was it?

Hiya. Hi.

How's your mum?

Oh, you know, same as ever.

She's, uh... Had a new kitchen put in.

Yeah. I was said she had a big mouth.

Gary, don't start.

Where did you get this?

What?

Oh, yeah, I did what you said. You know, I had a day in the country. Found that

in a bric -a -brac shop.

It's only 50p.

Pretty little girl.

Yeah, she is.

What?

Look what I've been thinking.

About the baby.

I think you're right.

I think it's a good idea.

What?

What's wrong?

Forced along?

Yeah. It's just me being stupid and jumping the gun. Oh, not at all.

It's what we need to be a family.

Well, we've got plenty of time.

Still.

More fun trying again, eh?

Yeah.

What would you like? A little girl or a little boy?

Little girl, I think.

Good night, sweetheart.

Sleep will banish sorrow.

Good night, sweetheart.

Till we meet tomorrow.

Sweetheart.
