Would you like some more kedgeree?
No, thank you.

That seems a rather
interesting letter.

3
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:16,480
It's from my Auntie Pat.

4
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:18,640
Oh, the one who runs a BandB?

00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:22,200
No... Soon to be

Oh, it sounds wonderful!

00:00:36,480 --> 00:00:39,320
I can't wait to see this place.

with the painting, decorating

12
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:44,400
and getting the place ship-shape.

Well, she's asking rather a lot.

14
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:50,600
She has an inspector coming
from the Anderson's Hotel Guide.

15
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:52,280
Oh, sorry, what's that?

Oh, no, no, nothing.

Oh, gosh, right. Um...

So, is it still the same
as you remember? It is.

00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:32,800
Every summer, as a child,
I'd come down here

26
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:35,320
and play with all the local
children on the beach.

Of course!

Shame we have so much work to do,
though.

Well, you said
your Auntie Pat needed some help.

00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:01,800
I thought it would be
a nice surprise for you.

Well, it's definitely a surprise.

We are very keen

Oh, this place is amazing.
I've seen pictures of the seaside,

41
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,240
but I never knew the sand
was so warm and so soft.

We never got to go on holidays.

Ahoy, there, landlubbers!

You must be Isabel.

Lovely to meet you.
Auntie Pat! How are you?

51
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,080
Marvellous, darling.
But what's happened to you?

52
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:48,480
You're skin and bone.
Aren't you feeding him?

53
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:50,880
I do give him
three square meals a day.

<font color="

55
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,720
actually, you have to keep your eye
on this one around food.

56
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:58,920
When he was a boy,
he used to sneak into the kitchen

57
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:02,200
searching for
the chocolate profiteroles.

58
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:06,680
We used to call him

Brenda. Hi!

It's nice to meet you. We're here
to help in any way that we can.

Oh, you know this is manna,
manna from heaven!

63
00:04:19,840 --> 00:04:22,920
<font color="
that has to be done.

00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:24,760
I see you've been picking
wild flowers.

65
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:28,480
Yes, well they make
very nice table decorations.

66
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:31,400
Right, let us get you all
checked in.

67
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:33,520

Raymond! Yes, dear, that is my name,
thank you for reminding me.

00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:57,920
What? When are you going to
hang up this picture up?

00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:00,920
I am rather busy

If you didn't spend
so much time arguing,

75
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:05,120
it might actually be ready by now.
Mrs Parkinson! Ah!

76
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:09,320
Oh, my word! Who is this?

77

Well, here's Edgar.

my deputy managers
who've worked here for 30 years.

In fact, they met and married here.

00:05:24,840 --> 00:05:26,800
Oh, isn't that nice?

84
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:33,280
Yes, so, um, I think we have

00:05:33,280 --> 00:05:35,080
Oh, yes, I'll sort that.

86
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:37,160
So, tonight,
we are having a rehearsal

87
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:39,640
of the 1920s-themed dinner.

88
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:43,800
We are testing a few of the recipes
that we're serving tomorrow.

89
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,640
But there's so much work to do,
so many jobs.

90
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,840
<font color="
I could help with that.

91
00:05:49,840 --> 00:05:52,200
And I'm a dab hand
with a shammy leather.

00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:55,080
Oh... Well, come along, yes.

00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,840
Raymond? What is all this mess?

94
00:05:59,840 --> 00:06:01,240
Ooh! Mr Crabtree.

95
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:04,320
He won't do any more work
<font color="

96
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:08,240
Well, we'll just put wallpapering
on the list of things to do.

97
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:11,880
Yes, put those flowers in water
before they wilt.

98
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:14,000
Yes, Mrs Parkinson.
For you. Thank you.

She's such a character, Auntie Pat!

101
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:25,000
No-one would argue with that.

102
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,560
Although, did she seem a bit peaky?

103
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:31,200
Peaky? What do you mean? The way
she was leaning on reception.

104
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:33,920
Just a bit fragile.

105
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:37,000
<font color="
as a Sherman tank!

106
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,360
If you say so.

107
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:44,120
And I am sorry if my surprise
turned out to be more of a shock.

108
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:47,800
Yes, this was supposed to be
our honeymoon, not a parish outing.

I know! But we will
<font color="

..once we've got through
all our jobs.

Do you think I should wear these
earrings tonight? Yes.

112
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:02,920
You didn't even look at them!

113
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,480
Because I am busy
organising tonight's dinner,

114

Well, well, well.

116
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:12,920
This place hasn't changed a bit.

117
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,720
It's practically a museum.

Oh! Well,
that's something, I suppose.

Now, can you book me into

Sorry, Max, we're not open
until next week,

I worked here for seven years.

129
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:48,560
I think that makes me family.

130
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:52,000
Well, Father, that was some
very enthusiastic pruning.

Sharp shears!

Yes, do come and sit down.

Now, then, Auntie Pat... Mm?
..are you all right?

138

Yes. Yes, I'm always all right.

that's all wrong.

I thought as much.
Glad to hear it.

Please, everybody else,
just sit wherever you like.

That is an awful lot of cutlery.
Which is normally a good sign.

Well, we are serving

Ahem!

00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:40,120
It tastes very much of the sea.

177
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:43,240
<font color="

178
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:44,720
What?!

179
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:47,320
Well, I...
I can't think why it would be,

180
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:50,560
I was terribly careful
with the seasoning. Thank you.

181
00:10:50,560 --> 00:10:52,360
PAT MUTTERS

182
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:56,840
None for me, thank you.

183
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:03,000
This is all your doing, isn't it?!

184
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:07,720
<font color="
Would you care to repeat it?

185
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:11,960
Actually, I might have
put too much salt in.

186
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:16,480
Ah, yes, too many cooks. Well,
let's hope you get things sorted.

187
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:18,720
Before the inspector gets here.

188
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:20,720
RECEPTION BELL DINGS

<font color="

190
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:23,680
Oh, when you move in the circles
I move in, you hear things.

191
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:27,800
Yes? Mr Wendle.

192
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:30,680
You remember your old work
colleague, Max Bishop?

193
00:11:30,680 --> 00:11:33,880
He's been seen
wandering round town.

194
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:36,600
Yes. I know.

195
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:38,560
<font color="

196
00:11:38,560 --> 00:11:41,360
I got rid of you once before

197
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:44,160
and I can get rid of you again.

198
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:47,320
GASPS

199
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:49,520
Mrs Parkinson!

200
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:53,040
Nice to see you, Sergeant Oldham.

201
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:55,680
How are Julia, and the little ones?

202
00:11:55,680 --> 00:11:57,840
Not so little now, I imagine.

203
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:00,160
<font color="

204
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:05,520
Good. Well, I've had
quite enough fun for one evening.

205
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:08,720
And I'll see you all tomorrow.
Good luck.

206
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:11,840
You're going to need it.

207
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:21,040
Auntie Pat? I should never
have risen to the bait.

208
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:24,640
<font color="

209
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:27,840
in the capable hands
of Cynthia and Raymond.

210
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:29,360
Goodnight.

211
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:44,320
Ah!

212
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:46,520
I do hope Auntie Pat is all right.

213
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:49,080
That man really seemed to upset her.

214
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:52,600
Oh, she's a tough old thing.

215
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:55,720
She certainly gives

THEY CHUCKLE

217
00:12:58,040 --> 00:12:59,240
What's that?

218
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:01,960
It's a bucket.

219
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:04,120
No, underneath it.

220
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:20,760
Oh!

221
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,560
And in the name of father and son
and to the Holy Spirit, amen.

222
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:34,560
Thank you, Father.

223
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:38,920
<font color="
for a man to meet his maker.

224
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:42,800
Indeed. I suspect he was hit
over the head with a blunt object

225
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:45,000
before being buried,
as the tide came in.

226
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,840
That is my hypothesis.

227
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:51,080
What about that dark stain
<font color="

228
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:52,600
Any idea what that is?

229
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:55,040
Inspector,
I'm sure you do a marvellous job

230
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:58,600
in your leafy little village,
but you leave things to us, eh?

231
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:00,760
And enjoy your holiday.

232
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:11,600
BRENDA: Any idea who killed him?

233
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:16,040
<font color="

234
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:20,200
Which also did a very good job of
washing away most of the evidence.

235
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:31,040
Hello!

236
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:32,400
What's going on?

237
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:35,320
I'm afraid one of your guests
has been murdered, Mrs Wendle.

238
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:38,200
No! Mr Bishop.

239
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:39,360
<font color="

240
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:42,800
Sergeant Oldham?

241
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:44,680
Yes, Father?

242
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:47,040
There's a champagne bottle
in this bin.

243
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:49,480
And? It's unopened.

244
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:51,160
It's bloodstained.

245
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:53,560
And it comes from The Palace Hotel.

246
00:14:55,800 --> 00:15:00,600
Ladies and gentlemen, thank you
<font color="

247
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:03,240
We believe the murder took place
between eight o'clock,

248
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:04,880
when Mr Bishop was dining here,

249
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:07,760
and midnight,
when the tide was high.

250
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:11,080
I need to know all of your
movements after eight.

251
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:15,680
<font color="
to these good people here

252
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:18,680
and then at about nine o'clock,
I locked up

253
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:21,120
and went briefly outside
to inspect the grounds.

254
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:23,840
Can anyone corroborate
your version of events?

255
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:27,520
Yes. I can.
<font color="

256
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:29,600
Every single second?

257
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:34,040
Mostly. We worked together,
we went outside together,

258
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:37,760
then we went to bed,
just after ten. Ten.

259
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:39,920
Mrs Parkinson? What? Yes?

260
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:44,640
Where did you go, after you
<font color="

261
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:47,120
Stormed? I went upstairs

262
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:50,280
to make a list of all the jobs
that needed doing

263
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:52,600
before today's inspection.

264
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:54,800
So, now can we please get a move on?

265
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:56,760
Auntie Pat... Hmm? What?

266
00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:59,560
It doesn't look good
<font color="

267
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:00,840
Oh. Right.

268
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:02,320
Patricia Parkinson.

269
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:05,000
I'm arresting you
for the murder of Max Bishop.

270
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:06,440
On what grounds?

271
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:08,720
There were two sets of fingerprints
on the murder weapon,

272
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:11,600
the bottle of champagne.
<font color="

273
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:12,920
and Mrs Parkinson's.

274
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:17,800
Well, yes, it was my champagne!
Because it came from my cellar.

275
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:19,600
But... You are not obliged
to say anything,

276
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:22,960
but anything you say may be given
in evidence. This way, please.

277
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:25,480
<font color="
Sir, I don't think they'd be happy

278
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:27,560
with a relative
barging into the station.

279
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:30,920
Although they might allow
a visit from a priest.

280
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:36,040
Tell me about Mr Bishop.

281
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:39,720
Well, 30 years ago, I sacked him.

282
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:42,280
<font color="

283
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:46,480
and I found he was stealing
from the guests' rooms.

284
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:52,040
You know, in the hotel industry,
that's a mortal sin.

285
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:56,840
So, a man who bears a grudge on you
walks in

286
00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:58,680
when the hotel is in trouble.

287
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:02,640
<font color="
are they?

288
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:08,480
Uh, no. No, we are...

289
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:12,160
We are at rock-bottom. Ahem.

290
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:14,840
I've taken out loan after loan.

291
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:19,320
And if things don't improve,
then the bank will take the hotel.

292
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:23,160
And that's why you invited
<font color="

293
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:27,560
Well, yes,
one last roll of the dice.

294
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:33,760
Was anyone else upset
at Mr Bishop's reappearance?

295
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:38,160
Well, I don't think Raymond
was too delighted.

296
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:41,160
Of course, back in the day,
they were great friends.

297
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:43,600
<font color="

298
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:48,160
I did used to think that Max
got in the way a bit.

299
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:52,240
Were Mr and Mrs Wendle
married at that point?

300
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:58,160
No. It was only after Max left
that Raymond popped the question.

301
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:05,640
In fact, I wonder if Max didn't
<font color="

302
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:08,160
but to seduce Cynthia.

303
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:11,600
Why do you say that?
Well, yesterday,

304
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:14,480
when I was preparing
the bouillabaisse,

305
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:17,600
I could hear Max and Raymond
arguing.

306
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:25,840
Oh, Father. You've been a while.
<font color="

307
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:28,400
Your aunt is bearing up.

308
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:30,920
Of course she is.
She's strong as an ox.

309
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:34,920
She's very keen that
we make this evening a success.

310
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:37,440
I think it's more important
we solve the murder. Well,

311
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:40,440
<font color="
it will help us to do the other.

312
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:51,440
Right, Mrs Parkinson
has left a to-do list.

313
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:53,360
Would you like me to type it up?
No, Raymond.

314
00:18:53,360 --> 00:18:55,880
You actually have to do something.
What time is Mavis getting here?

315
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:57,640
<font color="

316
00:18:57,640 --> 00:18:59,160
Oh, no!

317
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:01,160
Right, I've managed to sort
those wonky tables out,

318
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:02,520
and we've swept all the floors.

319
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:04,480
Is there anything else
we can do to help?

320
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:06,720
No. We're beyond help.

321
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:10,040
The best thing now would be
<font color="

322
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:12,440
and hang a condemned sign outside.

323
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:14,200
Hello. How are we getting on?

324
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:15,760
We're about to give up completely.

325
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:20,000
What? Cancelling this evening and
telling Anderson's we're not ready.

326
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:23,120
You do realise my aunt has given
<font color="

327
00:19:23,120 --> 00:19:25,560
Yes, but she's not here.

328
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:27,800
And it was always
her hand on the tiller

329
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:29,920
that steered us through the rocks.

330
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:33,920
Mrs Parkinson has been your employer
for 30 years.

331
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:37,160
I'm sure she hoped
<font color="

332
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:39,320
you would step forward.

333
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:41,080
We also have a financial difficulty.

334
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:44,760
She's left a long ingredients list
and no actual money.

335
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:47,920
Fine! I'll go down to the market.

336
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:51,000
I'll come with you.
And I can service some rooms.

337
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,080
<font color="

338
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:56,840
I can do some cooking. Can I be
your sous-chef? Of course!

339
00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:58,760
I shall polish the silver.

340
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:00,360
I will assist.

341
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:07,160
Am I right in saying you have
worked here since the 1920s? Mm-hm.

342
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:09,440
<font color="

343
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:11,200
CUTLERY CLATTERS

344
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:13,160
Sorry. Allow me.

345
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:20,800
So what did you think
when Max Bishop turned up again?

346
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:24,640
Mrs Parkinson seems to think
he once had designs on your wife.

347
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:29,480
No! No, of course not.

348
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:31,800
<font color="

349
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:35,160
We were pals back then,
the three of us, we were the...

350
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:37,400
Well, they were
the happiest times of my life.

351
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:38,960
Yes, Max was sacked for stealing,

352
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:40,560
but not for...

353
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:40,560
CHUCKLES

354
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:43,160
Not for stealing my girlfriend.

355
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:48,360
<font color="
having an argument with Mr Bishop.

356
00:20:48,360 --> 00:20:52,240
Mm. You said, and I quote,
"Leave her alone.

357
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:54,800
"Please, just leave her alone."

358
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:58,280
Yes, I did.
But I was not talking about Cynthia.

359
00:20:58,280 --> 00:20:59,440
No?

360
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:02,240
<font color="

361
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:05,040
he said some rather nasty things
about Mrs Parkinson,

362
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:08,120
so I let him settle into his room,
and when he came downstairs

363
00:21:08,120 --> 00:21:10,920
I told him to stop.
"Leave her alone."

364
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:12,800
What did he say to that?

365
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:16,200
He told me to face the facts -
<font color="

366
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:18,680
and he's the only one
who could save it.

367
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:22,040
And what do you think he meant?

368
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:24,640
I don't know.
I told him I didn't want to hear it.

369
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:27,720
And if you'll excuse me, I need
to go and find some fish forks.

370
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:33,840
<font color="
Most helpful.

371
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:35,120
Whoa.

372
00:21:35,120 --> 00:21:37,520
Who could afford a room like this?

373
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:40,120
That is what we are here
to find out.

374
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:46,040
Mr Bishop claimed he came here
to save The Palace.

375
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:49,000
And I am keen to find out how.

376
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:52,240
<font color="

377
00:21:58,600 --> 00:21:59,640
Oh.

378
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:02,720
Plans for the hotel.

379
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:04,920
Divided into eight flats.

380
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:06,560
So that's his game.

381
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:08,600
He's a property developer.

382
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:11,520
Look!

383
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:18,480
"Meet me at Brandreth Bay,
nine o'clock."

384
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:20,720
That's the beach
<font color="

385
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:26,400
Was he killed by the person
to whom he sent this note?

386
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:28,200
I should probably make the bed.

387
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:31,400
The inspector'll come in here.
Good idea.

388
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:38,520
What's this?

389
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:44,880
Ah, yes.

390
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:47,200
I know whose ear that belongs to.

391
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:54,600
<font color="
to start your own aquarium.

392
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:58,640
Oh, Edgar! You've saved the day.
You always do.

393
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:01,280
Right, well, can I suggest,
I'll read out the recipe,

394
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:03,040
and allocate jobs as I go.

395
00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:04,840
No, Raymond. No.

396
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:07,040
Just no, Raymond.

397
00:23:09,360 --> 00:23:12,160
<font color="
with the windows?

398
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:15,600
Yes. Yes, of course. Yes.

399
00:23:20,360 --> 00:23:24,360
Are you all right, Mrs Wendle?
Yes! Just a little bit stressed,

400
00:23:24,360 --> 00:23:27,880
we've got this rather complicated
bouillabaisse to make,

401
00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:30,360
which means we have fish to fillet,

402
00:23:30,360 --> 00:23:34,200
<font color="
even started the stock yet.

403
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:36,400
That does seem a Herculean effort!

404
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:39,640
Yes, but if we want to get into
the Anderson's Guide...

405
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:42,800
You might try making things
people like to eat?

406
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:46,000
Oh.

407
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,080
Oh, yes, you're right!

408
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:52,000
<font color="

409
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:55,800
Oh, fish pie!
Everyone loves fish pie!

410
00:23:55,800 --> 00:24:00,000
Mrs Wendle? May I have a word?

411
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:01,240
Yes.

412
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:09,960
I'm sorry, Father,
but I'm really very busy.

413
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:11,480
Yes, I can see.

414
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:16,400
Must put an awful strain
on your marriage.

415
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:21,280
<font color="
I used to be married once.

416
00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:26,760
I mean, I do love Raymond, it's just
we're married to the hotel.

417
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:30,440
I noticed you have separate rooms.

418
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:33,680
Well, yes.

419
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:35,600
Separate lives, actually.

420
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:38,120
Was it ever a happy marriage?

421
00:24:38,120 --> 00:24:40,720
We were happy...

422
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:45,240
<font color="
When it was just the three of us.

423
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:48,400
Me, Raymond and...Max.

424
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:50,480
Ah, yes.

425
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:51,880
Mr Bishop.

426
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:56,000
Did you notice, yesterday,

427
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:57,720
he was the last in to dinner?

428
00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:01,920
Because I believe
he was in the kitchen,

429
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:04,600
<font color="

430
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:07,480
I think so.

431
00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:12,640
But you took responsibility
for his sabotage.

432
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:14,800
Which seems strange.

433
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:18,120
Unless you felt in some way
responsible...?

434
00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:24,280
I read the papers, you see,

435
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:27,920
and I knew Max had done very well
<font color="

436
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:32,040
So I wrote and told him
we were in trouble,

437
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:34,120
and was there any chance of a loan?

438
00:25:35,360 --> 00:25:38,840
But it soon became clear
he was not here to help?

439
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:40,720
He'd just come to humiliate us.

440
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:44,720
What did you do to stop him?

441
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:47,480
<font color="

442
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:52,480
And yet...

443
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:54,600
..I found this.

444
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:56,000
By his bed.

445
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:03,880
CHUCKLING: All right...

446
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:08,920
When Raymond went round
to speak with him,

447
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:12,560
I sneaked into his room,
to look round.

448
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:15,800
<font color="

449
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:18,400
to turn the hotel into flats.

450
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:23,680
I did. And I was just
staring at them, horrified.

451
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:26,000
And Max came in and grabbed me.

452
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:29,000
So that must be
when I lost the earring.

453
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:33,280
I see.
He said this place destroyed him

454
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:35,600
<font color="

455
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:40,600
Do you know he used to steal
from people's rooms?

456
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:43,480
Only small amounts, so no-one knew.

457
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:46,960
But Mrs Parkinson found out
and she called the police.

458
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:52,640
I don't suppose you remember
the name of the arresting officer?

459
00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:58,880
<font color="

460
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:01,520
but I made sure he suffered
the full force of the law.

461
00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:04,640
Ah. Except...

462
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:06,800
..I've spoken to Scotland Yard.

463
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:10,760
Max Bishop has no criminal record
whatsoever.

464
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:14,400
So...you let him go,

465
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:17,160
<font color="

466
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:20,640
It was a long time ago,
I don't exactly recall.

467
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:23,280
Mr Bishop remembered you vividly.

468
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:26,640
He asked after your wife
and children.

469
00:27:28,120 --> 00:27:30,760
I imagine, 30 years ago,

470
00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:33,400
you had a young family

471
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:34,960
<font color="

472
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:41,960
Perhaps we should talk to
his senior officer, Father.

473
00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:43,440
All right.

474
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:46,640
He did offer me a certain sum.

475
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:48,560
Believe me,

476
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:50,640
it was hard getting by on £5 a week.

477
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:53,920
You took a bribe
from a criminal suspect?

478
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:57,120
<font color="
and never darken our doors again.

479
00:27:57,120 --> 00:27:59,480
I really don't see
what the harm was.

480
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:03,040
Sergeant Oldham,
many people would say

481
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:06,960
that punishment can be
a valuable life lesson.

482
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:11,240
A lesson you failed
<font color="

483
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:17,840
Now, I think you've had more than
enough time to question my aunt.

484
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:25,360
Well, that was the worst holiday
I've ever had!

485
00:28:25,360 --> 00:28:27,480
Auntie Pat,
we need to have a talk.

486
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:29,080
No, I need to get back to the hotel.

487
00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:32,640
<font color="
make a decision without me.

488
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:34,800
I'll leave you two to talk.

489
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:41,520
Why didn't you tell me
that the hotel was in difficulty?

490
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:46,080
It isn't. The Palace
is a luxury ocean liner.

491
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:49,760
It just so happens that it's
<font color="

492
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:54,680
Yes, the suppliers have told me they
think it could be about to sink.

493
00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:57,440
Yes, well, things are a bit grim,

494
00:28:57,440 --> 00:29:01,200
but I believe we're just about
to turn a corner.

495
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:04,880
And I realise that I have been
saying that for several years.

496
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:08,400
<font color="
working yourself 18 hours a day.

497
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:10,920
Now, do you think
that can be good for you?

498
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:14,440
If I didn't work,
I wouldn't know what to do.

499
00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:17,800
You know how hard it is
to abandon a place

500
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:21,720
that you've loved and cherished
<font color="

501
00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:25,320
And, besides, it means a lot to YOU.

502
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:28,760
What do you mean?
You know what I mean.

503
00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:33,320
Whenever your parents
used to have a bit of difficulties,

504
00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:36,200
then they got me to look after you.

505
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:39,800
At The Palace.
<font color="

506
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:43,600
Auntie Pat,
it's not The Palace I care about.

507
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:45,600
It's just a pile of bricks
and mortar

508
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:47,520
and some very comfortable bedding.

509
00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:52,120
The woman who runs it,

510
00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:54,440
I love her

511
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:57,760
and I rather worry that she's not
<font color="

512
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:02,480
Well, um...

513
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:05,840
She's rather fond of you.

514
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:11,440
Edgar, I have no choice,
I just have to keep going.

515
00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:14,720
So will you kindly take me
back to the luxury liner

516
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:18,720
before the management
manage to sink it?

517
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:27,240
<font color="

518
00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:30,040
Oh, it's magnificent!

519
00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:33,760
Oh! Have you thought about
a career in interior design?

520
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:35,800
Oh, not really. Thank you, though.

521
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:39,960
If I spend one more moment in that
kitchen, I think I'm going to melt.

522
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:41,920
Agreed! Oh!

523
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:47,360
<font color="

524
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:54,160
Oh, it feels like we've gone back
in time to the glory days.

525
00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:59,120
Oh, you've managed to get rid
of all the mould, and the mess,

526
00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:02,840
and our most annoying guest
has kicked the bucket.

527
00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:05,480
But don't mention any of that
<font color="

528
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:07,560
Ahem!

529
00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:12,040
Hello. And you are...?

530
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:13,800
Timothy Moon.

531
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:15,720
The man from Anderson's.

532
00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:17,120
Mr Moon!

533
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:19,840
Mr Moon, please... Ha!

534
00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:24,000
Please forgive my wife's
peculiar sense of humour!

535
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:26,640
<font color="

536
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:30,080
But what I do not appreciate is
being made to wait at the station.

537
00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:31,680
Where was Mrs Parkinson

538
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:33,560
who's been badgering me
for the past six months?

539
00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:35,760
Mrs Parkinson? Um...
Mrs Parkinson... Not well.

540
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:37,640
<font color="

541
00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:39,520
Her glands have swollen up like...

542
00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:43,880
Watermelons. That is quite enough
about my glands.

543
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:46,920
Hello. I'm Patricia Parkinson.
Timothy Moon.

544
00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:50,520
Mr Moon, you would not believe
the day that I've had.

545
00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:52,960
<font color="

546
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:55,360
I must get my clipboard.

547
00:31:55,360 --> 00:32:00,960
Well, you've certainly
made some unexpected choices.

548
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:03,920
Yes, it's better than I expected.
Thank you.

549
00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:07,880
It is splendid.

550
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:24,840
Vol-au-vent?

551
00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:27,920
Oh, well, we must leave
<font color="

552
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:30,160
Ah!

553
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:39,880
Raymond! Raymond!

554
00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:42,960
What is it, dear? Why haven't you
hung up that picture?

555
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:45,280
Because I'm in the middle of...!

556
00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:48,040
All right, I'll do it. I'll do it.

557
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:53,440
..bringing us back
<font color="

558
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:57,040
is the gateway
for the Roaring Twenties.

559
00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:02,880
Um, would sir care for a canape?

560
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:04,320
If I must.

561
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:08,920
Champagne?

562
00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:12,920
Well, I wouldn't like to impair
my critical faculties,

563
00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:15,800
but just to be polite...

564
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:22,720
<font color="
This is not lump fish roe.

565
00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:25,240
This is actual caviar. Indeed.

566
00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:29,360
Most palatable.
I must say, it does go down nicely.

567
00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:32,280
Oh, please! Do have another one.

568
00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:43,720
Ladies and gentlemen,
<font color="

569
00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:52,560
This hotel has been
standing here for 70 years,

570
00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:56,760
buffeted, of course,
by waves and wind,

571
00:33:56,760 --> 00:34:01,000
but able to survive
the ravages of time.

572
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:03,360
Mr Wendle? Um?

573
00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:07,680
<font color="
ask why anyone would build a hotel

574
00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:09,560
right by the sea. Yes.

575
00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:13,600
But, of course, people like us
like to live on the edge...

576
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:17,080
I was intrigued
by the photograph of you both,

577
00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:20,640
<font color="

578
00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:26,320
Your hair was much greyer then.

579
00:34:27,720 --> 00:34:31,560
Would I be right in thinking
that you use hair dye?

580
00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:37,760
That is a very personal question,
Father!

581
00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:40,080
Well, yes.

582
00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:44,040
But when they found
Mr Bishop's body,

583
00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:46,800
<font color="
on his temple.

584
00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:52,480
Could that stain
have been from hair dye,

585
00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:54,880
from the person who buried him?

586
00:34:59,880 --> 00:35:02,160
He sent you a note, didn't he?

587
00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:05,160
"Meet me at Brandreth Bay,
nine o'clock."

588
00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:07,720
But why would you go?

589
00:35:07,720 --> 00:35:09,640
<font color="

590
00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:13,440
We don't need you to save the hotel.
We're perfectly happy as we are.

591
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:18,440
Raymond, I'm sorry
if I've upset everyone.

592
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:24,000
I was angry at the way
Mrs Parkinson treated me.

593
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:27,080
Were you perhaps hoping
<font color="

594
00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:28,920
What do you mean by that?

595
00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:34,160
At first I thought Mr Bishop
was having an affair with your wife.

596
00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:36,960
But, no.

597
00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:38,960
I suspect...

598
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:41,280
..not with her.

599
00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:43,440
I don't like what you're implying.

600
00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:49,680
Your wife confirmed
<font color="

601
00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:51,240
separate lives.

602
00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:58,280
And the champagne would suggest
some sort of celebration.

603
00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:02,560
Do you remember our midnight
picnics on the beach?

604
00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:06,240
Yes.

605
00:36:06,240 --> 00:36:08,160
Lying in the sand dunes?

606
00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:12,880
How could I forget?

607
00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:18,800
<font color="
won't you, Raymond?

608
00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:22,120
Of course.
I knew you wouldn't let me down.

609
00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:24,200
You never did. Max...

610
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:28,080
..I would do anything for you.

611
00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:33,560
Do you really think

612
00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:38,400
I would give a second look
<font color="

613
00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:41,800
What? I... You're going to help me
destroy this place.

614
00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:45,160
Or I will tell the whole world
what you really are.

615
00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:50,840
Including your sad,
neglected, lonely little wife.

616
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:55,960
Mr Bishop

617
00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:58,480
<font color="

618
00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:03,800
But things spiralled out of control,
didn't they?

619
00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:13,240
Now you had a new problem.

620
00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:15,960
His body.

621
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:19,520
STRAINS

622
00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:23,440
Luckily, some children had been
digging a hole in the sand,

623
00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:24,920
which was almost the right size.

624
00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:28,960
<font color="

625
00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:38,080
I did not mean to kill him!

626
00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:43,080
I would be the last person to
condemn anyone for falling in love.

627
00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:46,800
But in order to spare
people's feelings,

628
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:50,040
you have been living your life
in the shadows,

629
00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:51,400
living a lie.

630
00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:55,560
<font color="
to you

631
00:37:55,560 --> 00:37:58,240
or your wife. Well...

632
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:02,480
What am I meant to do, then?

633
00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:05,200
How do I get out of this mess?

634
00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:09,840
There is one course of action,

635
00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:13,360
which will, in time,
bring you peace.

636
00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:16,080
<font color="

637
00:38:16,080 --> 00:38:22,040
Ask for God's forgiveness and take
the consequences of your actions.

638
00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:37,080
Mr Moon, you really must try
our famous bouillabaisse.

639
00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:38,800
Is it really necessary?

640
00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:43,520
Uh, well it's seasoned with
22 different herbs and spices.

641
00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:46,880
<font color="
Cynthia. The bouillabaisse.

642
00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:48,920
Actually, Mrs Parkinson,

643
00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:51,960
we decided
not to make bouillabaisse.

644
00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:55,840
What?! We thought, rather than
follow a hundred-year-old recipe,

645
00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:58,920
that we would go to the market
<font color="

646
00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:01,480
And what little delicacies
did you find there?

647
00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:06,880
Oh, scallops so fresh
they fell out of their shells.

648
00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:10,600
Silver mackerel. Pink lobster.

649
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:12,600
So we made a fish pie.

650
00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:17,560
Here you go. Bon appetit!

651
00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:20,440
<font color="

652
00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:22,600
But the proof of the pudding...

653
00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:46,440
Hmm...

654
00:39:50,560 --> 00:39:53,960
Mrs Parkinson,
from your description,

655
00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:56,600
I expected this to be
a dusty, fusty,

656
00:39:56,600 --> 00:39:59,720
old-fashioned establishment.

657
00:39:59,720 --> 00:40:03,120
But you've done wonders
<font color="

658
00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:04,800
Decor that lets the light in.

659
00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:07,560
And the finest fish pie
I've ever tasted!

660
00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:11,400
Ah, well, yes, it's not
one of my usual recipes...

661
00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:15,120
This place is the future
of British hospitality!

662
00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:18,160
Welcome to Anderson's Hotel Guide!

663
00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:20,680
<font color="

664
00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:23,080
Aunt, congratulations!

665
00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:26,280
We've got into the guide!
Everything we've worked for,

666
00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:30,240
all these years! That's wonderful,
darling, but it's all down to you.

667
00:40:30,240 --> 00:40:34,960
It's always been you and...
<font color="

668
00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:36,960
What do you mean? Ahem!

669
00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:38,880
Sergeant Oldham?

670
00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:42,080
Yes, Mr. Wendle?

671
00:40:46,560 --> 00:40:48,560
There's something I need to confess.

672
00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:56,520
Right, then! Ready for the off?

673
00:40:58,200 --> 00:41:00,360
I think so.

674
00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:02,920
Have you enjoyed
<font color="

675
00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:06,360
Spent most of it with a feather
duster in my hand, but...

676
00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:08,120
..I do love this place!

677
00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:10,680
Thank you for everything.

678
00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:13,720
You must come and visit us
in Kembleford.

679
00:41:13,720 --> 00:41:17,160
I mean, I know you're busy
with the hotel.

680
00:41:17,160 --> 00:41:20,760
<font color="
that's rather likely to change.

681
00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:22,600
Oh, yes? Yes.

682
00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:26,480
Well, Mr Moon has written us
such a glowing review

683
00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:30,760
that I'm quite confident
that The Palace will survive.

684
00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:36,280
Of course it will! So therefore
<font color="

685
00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:39,400
and give the baton to Cynthia,

686
00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:42,720
who I think you'll agree
was more than capable.

687
00:41:42,720 --> 00:41:45,920
Well, she learned from the best.

688
00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:48,960
Right, ready to depart,
Mrs Sullivan?

689
00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:52,800
Oh, can't we just have one last trip
<font color="

690
00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:00,920
Oh, that's good.

691
00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:02,000
Hey!

692
00:42:03,800 --> 00:42:05,840
Look at that duck over there.

693
00:42:05,840 --> 00:42:06,960
What?

694
00:42:08,160 --> 00:42:09,680
Yes!

695
00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:11,600
LAUGHS

696
00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:13,640
ALL LAUGH AND SHOUT

697
00:42:28,440 --> 00:42:31,720
Do you know, I just have to say

698
00:42:31,720 --> 00:42:33,920
that when I first suggested
this trip,

699
00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:37,880
<font color="
just Isabel and I...

700
00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:40,280
A mini-honeymoon,
getting away from it all.

701
00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:43,480
I know! I always seem to put my foot
in it, but...

702
00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:49,000
But - but - I do know
that when I married Isabel,

703
00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:53,560
<font color="
her passions...

704
00:42:53,560 --> 00:42:56,720
..but also her friends. Aw!

705
00:42:56,720 --> 00:42:59,720
And that makes me

706
00:42:59,720 --> 00:43:02,800
the luckiest man in the world.

707
00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:06,200
ALL LAUGH

708
00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:11,000
And, Auntie Pat...? Yes?

709
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:14,160
I promise we will be back,

710
00:43:14,160 --> 00:43:16,120
But for now... Yes?

711
00:43:16,120 --> 00:43:18,680
..could you take a photograph
of us all?

712
00:43:18,680 --> 00:43:22,800
Yes! And I know just the place.

713
00:43:26,560 --> 00:43:30,760
Everybody....say cheese!

714
00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:32,920
ALL: Cheese!
