Heartbeat, why do you miss when my baby kisses me?
Heartbeat, why does a love kiss stay in my memory?
Silverbell, Silverbell, it's Christmas time in
the city, wriggling, hear
them ring.
Mindy, is that it?
Yeah, it's presumably.
How did he manage to marry someone like that?
It's our Lord Ashfordly. Looks like it. But the rumours are true and all.
I can't imagine Ashfordly with a wife. David, his Lordship's back. Let's be
having you.
What's he in such a rush about?
Christmas trees.
Well, I thought most people have got theirs by now.
That's why he's in such a rush.
Here comes trouble.
Mrs. Jowett, how are you?
Not... Good, I'm afraid, Constable Bradley. My poor dear sister Emily
away yesterday evening in Ashfordly General. I'm sorry to hear that.
We did hope she might live to see one more Christmas, but it's not to be,
is why I'm in need of your services, Mrs. Scripps.
My sincere condolences, Mrs.
Jowett.
Well, there it is.
Oh, Charlie, it's splendid.
Not in the least bit old -fashioned. You wait till you encounter the plumbing.
Let me introduce you.
This is Mrs. Kellett, our housekeeper.
My wife, Lady Ashfordly.
We're very pleased to see you, Your Ladyship.
Oh, Mrs. Kellett, it is I who am extremely pleased to see you.
You can't imagine how nervous I've been.
A great big house like this.
I shall have to rely on you entirely.
Whatever I can do to help you, ladyship. You're all going to have to be terribly
patient with me. I'm awful with names.
As long as you remember mine.
Now, who were you again? Yes, indeed. Shall we go in?
I think we're going to have quite a problem arranging something before
Christmas. I have already had a word with the vicar. I'm a church warden, as
know. He thinks he may just be able to fit us in between the Sunday school
nativity play and the carol concert.
That doesn't need much time.
I've every faith in you, Mr. Scripps.
Now, as to the arrangements, the casket will, of course, have to be custom
-built.
Difficult at such short notice.
But I do have in stock some very nice solid vines. Mr. Scripps, I have
no intention of burying my poor dear sister in a ready -made off -the -peg
coffin. No, no, of course not.
The first moment I set eyes on you, this is what the orchestra was playing?
I sent for it specially.
You're just an old romantic at heart, aren't you?
I never was till I met you.
And to think, I nearly didn't go on that cruise.
When Art finally suggested it, I thought, oh,
a month stuck on a boat.
Oh, shit, darling.
She said it would be good for my health.
Slow me down a bit.
I don't think she expected me to fall in love and marry before we even docked.
I think we took everyone by surprise, including the captain.
I can't believe he'd never married anyone before.
Well, I think that was the most romantic part.
Oh, come in, Mrs. Kelly. It is all right.
It's Mr.
Scripps. I wanted to be the first to congratulate you, Lordship, and welcome
your lovely wife to Aidensfield.
This, darling, is Mr. Scripps.
Vernon Scripps, your ladyship. I'm a business associate of your husband's,
is why I am precipitating myself into your presence.
Well, I'm delighted to meet you, Mr. Scripps.
This is my assistant, David.
Well, come on in, David. Don't be shy.
I won't bite.
Hi.
Hi.
He's very pleased to meet you.
I never thought his lordship would come back with someone like her.
That's the nicest compliment I've had since I arrived.
Thank you, David.
Christmas is fast approaching, Your Lordship, and I wondered if we still had
deal.
Christmas trees.
Well, I suppose if I don't let you cut them and sell them, you'll just pinch
them anyway, which is what he did last year. A most unfortunate
misunderstanding. I'd almost forgotten about Christmas.
Well, we must definitely have a party.
Oh, that would be wonderful.
I do so want to meet everyone. It would be the perfect opportunity.
Well, in that case, we'll have a ball.
A Christmas ball.
And we'll invite everyone, the entire village.
And they can all see what a lucky man I am.
Oh, Charlie.
That's a wonderful idea.
A Christmas ball?
Well, that's what Vernon said.
Everyone's going to be invited.
Sounds fantastic.
Well, the last time they had a do like that, it must have been before the war.
Well, here's to a ladyship.
What's your light, Vernon?
Hang on a sec.
Fifty trees at ten shillings.
She's what I call fragrant.
Her presence fills the room.
You can tell she's a real lady.
You know, I don't think I've ever been so happy.
How can you say that? I mean, Bing's a nice enough old chap, but his wife's the
most crashing ball.
I've never been able to say more than five words to her.
Well, the champagne helped.
That ghastly dog.
Do you think they approved of me?
Darling, they were bowled over.
What the deuce?
Right across the road.
So the bloody thing out. What?
What? A juice in a bag. There.
We don't exactly have much to go on.
Lord Asfordly thought they were medium build.
Well, the ladyship reckoned one was bigger than the other.
Possibly a double -barrelled shotgun.
White van, no distinguishing mark.
Probably two chances of halfway to London by now. I'd probably venture it.
Nevertheless, I want you to do the rounds of the local guest houses.
B &B, pawnbrokers.
Any suspicious characters?
Two blokes who drive a white van.
Well, that narrows it down to half the pint of the decorators in Yorkshire. A
little more enthusiasm wouldn't go amiss, Bellamy.
Yes, sir.
No, I've got you, trust me. Come on, nearly there. Over that one.
Down, down. That's right.
And open your eyes now.
You need a little runabout in the countryside.
The Bentleys do come with something. I don't think a Land Rover's quite your
style, darling. But it's hardly a runabout.
It must have cost a fortune.
You toil me, you know. Why shouldn't I?
Come on, then.
Let's go for a spin.
I'd love to, but on the trade, I promised the estate manager I'd have a
with him. Things have been piling up a bit since we've been away.
There you go. You sure?
Absolutely. Don't drive too fast. And watch out for sheep.
They think they own the place.
Bye -bye, darling.
I don't know what you think you're paying, but I'm telling you I've had
enough of it.
Harry, the trees are from the Ashfordly estate.
They're freshly cut.
No, they are not knit.
You will not find trees of this quality at a lower price, I'm telling you. I
don't care where you go.
It's a... Gina!
All right, love, come here.
Sit. What happened to you?
I'm such a fool.
I was hijacked on the moors. What?
They stole my car.
They must have been watching Ashfordly Hall.
Saw her leave, followed her.
Was she badly hurt? Just cut some bruises.
I'm surprised these villains have hung around for so long.
A quick opportunistic hit, then they move on. That's the M .O. I would have
expected. Yeah, but why just target the Ashfordlies, though?
Well, local gentry live in a big house.
It's a fair assumption they've got something worth stealing.
Any luck?
Not a dicky bird, Sarge.
We stopped four white vans, and apart from a defective tyre and an out -of
tax disc, All above board. Anyone for a brew?
You haven't got time for tea -drinking, Ventress.
Lady Ashfordly's just had her new sports car stolen.
If there's still anywhere at all in her locality, you're going to find it.
Christmas tree, have a happy holiday.
Everyone dancing merrily in the new old -fashioned
way.
Solid English oak. Couldn't build you anything better if I had six months to
it in. Yes, yes.
But the handles really are a little garish, aren't they?
I could change, ma 'am.
No extra charge, I trust?
I'm not made of money, Mr Scripps. Anyway, I would have thought as a church
warden I'm entitled to a discount.
Oh, I don't do discounts.
As a church warden, I am in a position to put a lot of business your way.
And people often like a personal recommendation from a satisfied
Mr Scripps!
Mr Voney's going to kill us! David.
I've already had to walk all the way here for the woods.
Can you not see I'm busy?
But we look like he might raid you.
Sorry about that.
He can be a bit insistent.
Shall we say a 10 % then?
Well, it's not like I haven't driven it before. I've driven it loads of times.
Well, Mr Scripps is always with me, but... Well, I don't know something, so
Vernon's going to blow his top.
Go on, Alfred, get in. Put your round knife.
Damn it, old Merton, we've got two masked men running around the
armed with a shotgun. They can't be that difficult a catch, can they? They've
got to be staying somewhere, some B &B or guest house or something. I have
looked into that, Your Lordship.
Well, I want them caught, and in the meantime, I want my wife to have police
protection. I appreciate your concern, but I don't exactly have the manpower to
provide a personal bodyguard. Well, you'd better find it, hadn't you?
If you can't catch these villains, the least you can do is make sure my wife
doesn't become a victim again. We are doing our best to catch them. But if I
take one man out to guard Lady Ashby... I mean, it's a perfectly reasonable
request in the circumstances, and if there is a problem with it, I'm more
happy to take it up myself with the Chief Constable.
That won't be necessary.
Your Lordship.
Come on, there's not a car that changes hands around here without you knowing
about it.
I don't touch anything dodgy, you know that. It's not worth it.
It's committed.
Harder been driven, it's got to be tempting for somebody.
Yeah, I heard what Ashfordly paid for it and all.
Tell us what else you know, then.
Well, I did hear there'd been some car ringing going on.
A lad called Terry.
Got a lock -up down in Bat Lane.
If anyone's heard about it, he might.
This is marvellous, Gina. I really like the idea of... No.
Ah, Mrs Kellett, thank you so much.
Whilst you're here, perhaps you could give us some advice.
We're going to have to take on some temporary staff.
Shouldn't be a problem.
A bit of extra cash is always welcome this time of year.
I don't think I'll have any problem getting help with the food. It's more
weighted and that sort of thing.
I could make your ladyship a list of them we've had before that we know are
reliable. Blendy!
I don't think Hayden still has ever seen anything quite like this before.
Everyone's talking about it.
A Christmas to remember.
I think that's what we all want.
Constable Bradley's here. He's going to be taking care of you until these damn
rascals are caught.
What?
You mean I'm going to have a minder?
Well, just a precaution, my dear. Only when you leave the house. We thought I
could maybe pose as your chauffeur. Oh, Charlie, is that absolutely necessary?
The only way I can ensure your safety, my darling.
I really don't think they're going to come back again.
Well, they could.
They've done very well out of you so far.
Also, they might think it's the very last thing anyone would be expecting.
Yeah, just do a few repairs for mates, MOTs, that sort of thing.
So if someone wanted to sell you a new sports car for cash, you wouldn't take
it? Well, I don't have that sort of cash.
Well, you could change the number plates.
You could sell it on.
It'd make quite a bit.
I told you, I do MOTs.
Well, this one doesn't look like he needs an MOT.
It looks nearly new.
It's not mine.
This bloke just asked me to keep it for him.
Tell us about him.
I don't know. He's just a bloke.
Came round with his mate.
And drove a white van?
Yeah.
As a matter of fact, he did.
Sergeant Martin, you're a wonder.
Don't suppose you made any arrests to go with it, did you?
We have a detailed description of both men.
Splendid. You see, darling, Sergeant Merton and Constable Bradley are sorting
all this out.
I think you've been far too harsh on them.
One of the men is mid -thirties, thick -set, bit of a bruiser. The other's a
older, mid -forties, but more of a gent. That's how our witness described him.
Now all you've got to do is find them.
We were wondering, Lady Ashfordly, if either of those descriptions rang a
No. Should it?
Probably not. But there may be someone.
A former employee, perhaps.
Someone with a personal grudge against you.
Against me?
These may not be random attacks.
They may be targeting you in particular.
I think you're clutching at straws a bit here, Merton. Who could possibly have a
grudge against my wife? Well, you might not even be aware that you've upset
them. I think she'd be aware if she'd upset someone that much.
Well, it's just a theory.
We have to explore every possibility.
Of course you do.
I'm not offended, darling. Really, I'm not.
What, nothing at all?
Oh, you are joking.
I know it's Christmas. I've got 50 ruddy Christmas trees to shift.
And a Merry Christmas to you and all.
Couldn't we like, you know, just borrow a van or something? It's Christmas.
There's nothing about.
I must be about seven foot.
Oh, fantastic.
You've been such a help.
Well, having a bodyguard does have its advantages.
I was thinking, perhaps you'd like to get away early tonight.
I shan't be going out again.
Well, don't you want me to wait until his lordship gets back?
No, I shall be fine.
Well, if you're sure.
I don't think our two rogues are about to storm Ashfordly Hall.
I shall be quite safe.
Well, I shall see you tomorrow, then. Yes, thank you, Mike.
Put another large one in for Bernard, will you, Gina?
You don't understand people's sensibilities.
How would you like your nearest and dearest to make their last journey in a
lumber truck?
Bernard, it wouldn't make any difference to me if I was dead.
What's Joyce Jower going to think if she sees us, eh?
Bernard, you worry too much about what other people think.
Why don't we just cover the trees up and pretend there's a coffin in the back?
Leave it to me, will you, David?
Well, well, if it is no ladyship in person.
Step this way, ladyship.
Where's your manager?
You're in the presence of gentry. You should at least doff your cap.
Yeah, right.
I'm sorry about that, darling.
But we were having a few problems getting your attention.
You never call, you never write.
Look.
I want to settle things once and for all.
I've got a new home, a new life.
I want you gone.
Do you hear that, Al?
She wants us gone.
Well, that might be possible.
Only thing is, it'll be expensive.
Very expensive.
Christmas without you I'll be
so blue just thinking of you
Decorations of
red on a green Christmas tree
Would somebody like to tell me what's going on?
Christmas tree for Mr. Blaketon.
You remember Philip, your lordship? Or Mrs. Hopper's grandson?
Yes, of course. You helped out with the shoot last year, didn't you?
If you'd just sign at the bottom there.
All these extra staff, his lordship's hiring. It's going to be a night to
remember. Excellent. We certainly hope so.
Clifford and I are really looking forward to it.
Ah, yes, the young doctor. Good morning, and you are? Stanley Hodges.
Oh, yes, not a local man, I gather.
Born and bred in Whitby, but I went away to sea when I was a lad.
Any experience as a waiter?
20 years as a steward with Cunard. My references.
Very impressive.
Now, we only need extra help over the Christmas period, so it's going to be no
more than two or three days' work, I'm afraid. Suits me.
I'm up here to spend some time with my old mum. She's in an old folks' home. I
don't think she'll last too much longer.
Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.
Well, you'd better sign on the dotted line, Stanley.
Mrs. Kellett will explain your duty.
Good morning. And your name is? Alan Martin, very soon.
Mrs. Kellett.
A cortege passed through the village this morning, Mr Scripps, and I must
thought it was a pretty shabby affair.
It was a cram job.
If people can't afford too much, we dispense with the frills. Just because
people are poor, it doesn't mean that their passing shouldn't be marked with a
proper respect.
You're perfectly right, of course. It doesn't cost you anything to put on your
morning suit, you baller hat.
And that young assistant of yours, David, he was even wearing a cap.
I hope you're not going to take this cavalier attitude when it comes to
my poor dear sister.
No, absolutely not.
As a church warden, I am not without influence in this village. This morning,
was a rush job.
I shall be keeping a very close eye on proceedings, Mr Scripps.
You may think me old -fashioned, but I regard it as my duty to my sister to
ensure that everything is done properly.
I do appreciate that, Mrs Jowett.
It's like a mad outfit there.
I'm Mike, the chauffeur.
Stan. Stan.
Al.
Do you fancy a smoke?
Not for me.
You worked for his lordship long then, have you, Mike?
Yeah, yeah, quite a while.
Gather him and his... Gather him and her ladyship just got spliced.
Yeah, yeah, it was a bit of a surprise to everyone, really.
He was pretty much a confirmed bachelor, yeah.
She's quite a looker, who can blame him, eh?
Yeah, seems very nice, actually.
Well, it makes a difference working for someone who treats you well.
You pretty much like it here, then?
Yeah. Well, actually, to be honest, I'm very lucky his lordship took me on.
Oh, yeah?
Yeah.
I've been in a bit of trouble a couple of years back.
Do you know Nick's lab?
I wondered if I'd recognise you.
Durham Nick, five years ago.
No, mate, I was in Scrubs.
Yeah, well, we'd better get back to work.
Oh, come on, Stanley's all right.
Yeah, sure.
You know, I hope you don't mind me saying this, but when we heard his
had got wed, you're not exactly what we expected.
What did you expect?
A loud, booming voice, a pair of sensible queens and a couple of really
obnoxious little dogs.
No, what I mean is, is that you're really relaxed and friendly.
But people from your sort of background, they're not normally so easy to get on
with.
You know, Gina, maybe our backgrounds are not so far apart as you might think.
You mean you weren't born with a silver spoon in your mouth?
Charles is very conscious of his position in the community.
I wouldn't want him to think that his wife was...
Well, not able to fulfil her social duties and obligations.
Well, I don't think it matters where you were born. The most important thing is
you make each other happy.
And I reckon everyone round here can see with their own eyes how good you are
for his lordship.
Thank you, Gina.
That's very kind of you.
But, you know,
he's made me happy too.
You do all sorts of silly things when you are young, but...
This is the first time I've ever really, truly been in love.
Oh, gosh.
I must get on. I've got a million things to do.
Check under both names, Alf.
The second one even lets Slippy done time in the scrubs.
Right, we'll get on to division and check them out. We'll get straight back
you.
That was Mike's house. He reckons he's on to something.
Two men have signed on at the hall who pretty much fit the description that was
given to us by the car dealer.
Well, now we're getting somewhere.
Well, that's all right, Ventress. You can make that call to division from my
office.
What are you doing in Ashfordly?
Shopping.
And I thought maybe you could buy me lunch.
That'll be my pleasure.
I thought so.
How about I meet you at the ball at one?
Great.
What on earth do you think you're doing?
You shouldn't be in here.
This is a really sweet set -up you've got yourself here, see?
You know, I'm quite tempted to just stick around.
I want you gone by Christmas, that's what we agreed.
You know, I think his lordship quite likes me. You never know, he might offer
a job as his butler.
We don't have a butler, and we don't need one.
Yeah, but you could persuade him, couldn't you see? You've got him wrapped
your little finger.
Oh, Stan, listen to me.
Oh, that's the first time you've said my name in ages.
What do you want me...
You want me to beg?
I'll get you as much as I can.
But then you must go.
You are a clever girl, aren't you, see?
If the charms don't work, then the waterworks will. You promised.
Yeah, but you know what a liar I am. Can't seem to help myself.
If you're not gone by Christmas, so help me out.
You're what?
Tell his lordship the truth?
I don't think so.
Oh, um... Mrs. Kellett asked me to find you.
Oh.
Yes, thank you, Mike.
That will be all. Thank you.
Yes, Your Ladyship.
I've just heard back from Division, Sarge. There's nothing on Stanley
but Alan Martin, he's got plenty of form. Such as?
Well, he's a two -year stretch around robbery and a list of housebreaking as
long as you're armed.
They must be after something in particular at Aspley Hall.
Otherwise, why would they bother to get a job there?
Well, it's a good way of casing the place, Sarge.
Get changed, Ventress.
Mike can cover the hall.
But anywhere else they go, you go with them.
Whatever it is they're planning.
We're going to be there to cancel.
Red -handed.
What if she finds out? I'll be sunk.
You do exaggerate, Bernard.
She's just one old busybody.
Who's in a position to influence every other old busybody for miles around?
I'm a funeral director, Bernard. Who do you think most of my potential clients
are? Just stop mithering, Bernard.
You've still got the garage. Oh, thanks very much.
I think that's about it for this delivery.
Put the flag over the top and make sure you tuck it in.
And let's get them delivered this Christmas instead of next.
Put these on top.
Now, I'll drive this time. You can't. We won't get them there otherwise.
I'll be brief.
You'll be pleased to hear that we have two suspects under surveillance.
Excellent, but why don't you just arrest them?
Lack of evidence.
We can't possibly prove that they tried to sell Lady Asperley's car to a dealer.
But what we can prove is that they are the hijackers.
Unless you could identify them, of course.
Well, never saw their damn faces, did we, darling?
No.
I'm going to be blunt, Lady Ashfordly, and you'll have to forgive me if it
causes offense.
Is someone trying to blackmail you?
What? No, of course not.
Why would anyone want to be doing that? I've never heard of such an absurd
suggestion. I'm sorry, Merson. I don't see how you get from two rogues holding
us up at gunpoint and stealing my wife's car to blackmail.
It's just one line of inquiry we've been pursuing. I'm sorry I had to raise it.
You've heard my wife's answer.
Indeed.
I'll keep you informed of our progress.
Yes, do.
If you'll excuse us.
Looks like your theory could be right, Bradley.
She's never going to admit it.
Can't believe that's all done.
No. Mr Vernon, he said, here, you can have a Christmas bonus. And then he
well, that can help pay for the damage to the truck.
He's all hearted, Mr Vernon.
I've been hearing some very ugly rumours, Mr Scripps.
I was hoping they weren't true.
We use the hearse to deliver a few Christmas trees.
If you don't like it, you can lump it.
You heard.
It's not as if it's going to make any difference to poor dear Emily, is it?
I've never been so insulted in my life.
You're a rogue and a charlatan just like your brother.
I shall be taking my business elsewhere and so will everyone in Aidensfield if I
have anything to do with it.
You've got to leave immediately.
The police are on to you.
Nice try, darling. You don't think we're going to fall for that old chestnut.
The place is swarming with them.
They already know the dealer you sold my car to.
My so -called chauffeur, Mike.
He's a policeman.
The chauffeur's a copper.
Shut up, Al.
They're going to arrest you. I'm serious.
No, they're not.
Because you were going to hide me.
Then tonight, when the party's in full swing, we'll empty the safe.
He must have a few goodies stashed away.
No.
Stan, they'll catch you.
You'd better make sure they don't then, hadn't you, see?
Because they catch me, and his lordship finds out that he's not actually married
at all.
Because you've already got a husband, haven't you, darling?
And I think it's about time you gave him a kiss.
I'd put those down if I were you.
I might have known you was a dirty -thinking cop, though.
No way out, Al.
You're next.
You reckon?
Well, at least you've got one of them in handcuffs.
I can't believe they're actually here in the house.
He searched the whole house, Sarge. He's definitely gone.
Oh, thank goodness for that.
Well, if the one we have already talked, he'll probably tell us where they've
been staying. We might pick him up there.
Well, I've got a suspicion he's long gone.
I'd like to thank you for looking after me, Mike.
My pleasure, Your Ladyship.
Well, it's done with, and we can look forward to Christmas. I take it you'll
both be joining us tonight?
Looking forward to it.
Excellent.
What on earth do you want?
Mrs. Jowett, it is the season of goodwill, and we've brought a small gift
you.
Bernard, are you not going to the ball?
I don't really feel like it.
Joyce is allowing me to escort her.
Joyce?
Your brother and I discussed your offer over a glass of sherry, Mr. Scripps.
And I've decided to accept.
What offer?
Emily's funeral, Bernard.

Bernard, you cannot put a price on reputation.
Drive on, David.
Have yourself a merry little... With love,
make the yuletide gay.
Next year, all our troubles will be
miles away.
This is Charles Collier.
I was so sorry to hear about your sister.
Oh, thank you very much.
Happy Christmas.
Wow. Right.
What are we drinking to?
Hello? Sounds like a good toast to me.
Still out for love.
Thank Christmas.
Excuse us for a minute.
I was going to save this until Christmas morning, but
I thought you could wear it tonight.
It's lovely, thank you.
You know, it's been a very long time since this house has filled with so much
laughter and merriment.
Thank you.
How very touching.
I don't want to disturb the party too much, so if you just step this way, Your
Lordship, and open the safe, then we'll be on our way.
Won't we, darling?
What's going on?
How do you know my wife?
Strictly speaking, she's my wife.
But if you did want me to divorce her, then I might be persuaded at a price.
I'm so sorry, Charlie.
I don't understand.
It's simple, really.
We had a nice little racket going, didn't we, see?
Working the cruise liners, targeting rich old codgers like you and then
them.
It all changed when I met you.
Too right.
Don't be flat, she did.
Too timely, little madam.
I love you, Charlie.
I know what you must be thinking, but... I fell in love with you.
And that's the truth. Right.
Let's get this safe open. I haven't got all night.
She's good at the old woodworks, isn't she?
If you didn't know any better, you'd almost think she cared.
We'll have to get out through the kitchen.
Let me go check if the coast is clear.
See?
Now that's what I call true pregnancy.
Back in a minute. Make it snappy.
What was it my old dad used to say?
Never trust a woman.
Especially not your wife.
He's back.
He's got a gun.
He's got Charlie.
Oh, very nice.
Family heirloom, I thought.
I remember you now.
On the ship, you were one of the stewards.
Very good.
Something a bloke like you even notices servants as a rule.
Stan, come on.
It's all safe.
Take care, Charlie.
She was in on it, you know.
All along.
We planned it together.
That was very gallant.
But they'll soon discover the truth.
What is the truth?
I fell in love.
Listen, take the car. I don't know you've got time to change before they
back. What will you tell them? You just leave them to me. You just go.
Attractive woman. Who is she?
She's the local doctor.
Trish, I'm just trying to warn you. As what, Mike? A friend? It's a police
matter. Get out.
The invitation's still done.
I'd love to have dinner with you.
That's great.
