- Don't you just
love these long,

rainy afternoons in New Orleans?

When an hour isn't just an hour,

but a little piece of eternity
dropped into your hands

and who knows what
to do with it?

You, er, didn't get
wet in the rain?

Perhaps you stepped
inside the drugstore?

- I just don't think
it's the kind of thing

our children should
be exposed to!

Listen, as teachers,

we must protect our
children for many things.

Great art isn't one of them.

Now sit down,

you're embarrassing
your daughter. Come on.

— Stella! Stella!

She ain't
comin' down so you quit.

Stella!

I've been onto you
from the start.

Not once did you pull any
wool over this boy's eyes.

You come in here and sprinkle
the place with powder

and spray perfume and,
- What you are talking about

is brutal desire.

Just desire.

The name of that
rattletrap streetcar

that bangs through the Quarter,

up one old narrow
street and down another.

- We've seen quite enough.
- Oh!

How is it for you
Mrs. Rivers, huh?

Living in blissful ignorance.

Is it better or worse
than quiet desperation?

— I don't want realism,

I want magic.
- Goodnight, Martha.

— Goodnight, sir.
- Yes, yes magic.

I try to give that
to people. I miss.

Whoever you are,

I have always depended
on the kindness of strangers.

- What's that for?

Oh!
- Miss, I'm really nervous.

- Focus.

Breathe.

Mean what you say.

- Have you had enough now?
Come on, then. Come on.

- Sets are looking
lovely with you, David.

- Oh, thank you, Mrs. Jones.
Worked hard on those.

- Hmm. And when
you finally get round

to buildin' my extension

I'll be expecting
the same high standards.

- Well, I'm not gonna
make any promises,

but for you, I'll try
my very best, all right?

- Hmm.

- You must be so busy,
Mayor Jenkins?

Oh, pfft!
- It was fantastic.

- No, no. Fair play to you
to take the time to come

and encourage the children.

- Wasn't she the best
thing in it?

- Oh, definitely.

- You look dead on your feet.

- I am, Mum. Oppressing
people's hard work.

- Well, we'll head home shortly.
- Hmm, mm, mm.

- Can we go home soon?
- Yes, I said we will.

- Okay.
- We'll be home shortly.

Mr. Morgan!

- Oh, I'll see you again.

Bye-bye, now.
- Mr. Morgan,

did you enjoy the show?

- Oh, very much. Yes, yes.

Who was the boy who played
Caiaphas, the high priest?

- Oh, that's Nick

who was a real handful
when he first came to the club.

He's had a real
tough time of it.

You know, his dad, you know,

he's in jail for burglary?
- Yeah.

- And his mam likes
her drink, you know,

but he never missed a rehearsal.

I'm sure you would've
liked something

grittier than Lloyd Weber?

- I don't want realism.
I want magic.

~ Oh!
_

- I remember that line,
from "Streetcar."

- Yeah. I remember you putting
Vivien Leigh to shame.

- Stop it!
- Well.

— You must come for dinner one night.
- I'd like that. Yeah.

- Yeah?

- Do you know, I was watching
the faces of the children

when they were performing.

They were transported,
all right?

They believe in magic.
— Jesus Christ was fabulous

want it?
- Oh, here's David now.

- Hiya, Mr. Morgan.
You all right?

- Yeah. Grand.
I was just telling your wife.

She should be very
proud of herself.

Eh?

Anyway, I'll be off. I'll see
your both soon, all right?

- Nos da.
- Bye now, nos da.

- Nos da.

- I'm gonna push off as well, love,
gotta be in work in four hours.

- I know!

- Mark!

Aw.
- Hi, Mr. Morgan.

- That was wonderful
wasn't it? Hey?

- Oh, thank you.

Did you e. \ 05103! it?

Jesus!
- I enjoyed it-

Oh, your mam's calling.

All right?

All right.
- Good to see you, Mr. Morgan.

Peace be with you.

- You can drop
the Stanislavski method, now.

- What you drinking, Mam?
Can I have one?

- No, you bloody well
can't. It's mine.

I'm not being funny,

but you nearly gave
Elin a coronary.

- What?

- Well, in the interval,

she saw Jesus
with his tongue down

Mary Magdalene's throat
outside the Co-Op.

I doubt she'll ever
recover from that one.

- It wasn't.

It wasn't. It wasn't, mam.
- Well who was it, then?

- It was Gwyneth Jones.

— Oh, that's all right then.

But just not
in the Jesus costume, eh?

- Right, mam.
I'll see you at home.

- Do you know? I thought
the kids were brilliant last night.

- Oh, I know!

— So.
What you gonna put on next?

- Give me a break. I'm still
knackered from this one.

But I have been thinking,

you know, about challenging them
just a little bit more.

Midsummer Night's Dream?

- Mm. Not that one.

Way too scary.

- It's not scary.

- It is when you
watch it on acid.

Found that out on a school trip.
Thought it would be fun.

Instead, it scared
the life out of me.

Since that day, I've never
watched Shakespeare again.

- Wouldn't it make more
sense to never do acid again?

No!

— Carol!

- Just give it a trim.

Nothing fancy.
I'll be back in an hour.

- Okay.
- Take a seat love.

No need to be scared. Go for it.

I Where have you gone I

- Lovely day, isn't it?

- You coming, mum?

— Well, Liz.

— Cup of tea or coffee?

- I'm fine, thank you.

Susan Leonard.

We were at school together.
I was in the year below you.

I remember you were one
of the really clever ones.

Didn't you go to Oxford?

- Cambridge, actually.

- I was completely
useless at school.

Bottom of every class.

Wasn't until I was 17,

they realized that I was
hopelessly dyslexic, so.

So you decided
to become a postman?

Odd choice, I know.

People still wonder
how Mrs. Williams

found out her husband
was having an affair

with her next door neighbor.

' No!

- Didn't you get engaged
to David Llewellyn?

I did. Yes.

- I remember thinking
he was a lovely boy.

- Yeah. I thought so too.

Till I caught him shagging
my best friend from uni.

Ready now.

- Corning.

Richard Goodridge.

- Oh! Richard Goodridge!

- Hello, mayor.
- Hey, good to have you with us.

- Thank you.
- I knew your father, of course.

I remember him telling me
you was studying Welsh history.

- That's right, yes.

The last seven years now,
at the Open University.

- This just came for you.

- My plan is to become
a teacher, innit.

I almost had my
qualification then, you know,

my father had his heart attack.

~ Oh!

Oh yeah. Terrible
shock to all of us.

- Thank you.

Yeah. He loved this town.

Before he died
he made me promise

that I would finish off
his hard work he started,

setting up an adult
education center.

- Oh, I remember him banging
on about that for years.

Said in this changing world,

people need the chance
to retrain for new careers.

- Absolutely. Yeah.

I have a couple-
- Richard, Richard, Richard.

You listening, son?

The trick to getting
things done around here

is to build alliances.

Huh?

Do you have many plans
Saturday afternoon?

- No, no plans, no.

- We're having a few people over
for drinks at the golf club.

Very informal.
- Right.

- But all the councillors
will be there

and you you'll be able
to start to get 'em on side.

- Oh, lovely. Oh, thank you.

Look forward to it.

- Oh Marwn!

Sorry to keep you.
- Eh, oh, how are ya?

Huh? I just walked in.

- Hey. Hey, thanks for the gift.

- Ah. Nothing.

Now this is where I want to put
the new shopping center.

- Right.

Next to the Lyric?

- No, no.
On the site of the Lyric.

After we demolish it.

- Erm.

Well the place is still
being used as a cinema.

- Showing films
that nobody wants to see?

When was the last
time you were there?

- I saw the Youth Opera there
last night with my daughter.

Well, that show's
only every few months.

Well, you're right. Haven't seen
a film there in ages.

- Precisely!

They'll be bankrupt in a year.
- Uh...

And you will be stuck
with a ruin in the middle of town

instead of a vibrant
commercial center

that will turn Carmarthen
into a destination location.

And, what's good for Carmarthen
is good for you.

If we can do this,

your share options will
go through the roof!

- Hmm.

- You'll be able to retire early,
live like a king.

Yeah?
- Yeah.

You do know
it's a listed building?

- Well, you can fix that.

For a fee.

- Yeah.

Yeah!

Place is falling apart.

Might even be a danger
to anyone inside.

- You're right!

No, it's had its day.

- Yeah.

— So, you'll sort out

the zoning
and planning permissions, hm?

Yeah.

I'll get out my checkbook.

- Yeah!

Yeah.

- Morning Dolly.

- Oh, I have to ask you
to keep your voice down, Liz.

I'm hangin'.

— Go and have a kip.

It'll be fine.

- Oh, you're a life saver.
Thank you.

— Susan!

It's been forever.
- Oh, I know. I'm sorry.

I'm in a bit of a rush.
Will you just do a quick trim?

- Yeah!
- Thank you.

- Your mam was in last week.

She's worried
you're going to move

to the other side of the world.

- I applied for a job in Cardiff!

It's an hour away,
and I doubt I'll even get it.

You know, I've always
wanted a career in politics.

I thought being the mayor's
executive assistant

would be a good first step.

Turns out our mayor
thinks a woman,

even one with a law degree,

is only capable of filing
and answering phones.

- Well, you know,
he always was a bit odd.

It's because he feels
threatened by women.

Probably because he realizes

we should be the ones
running the world!

- Well, we couldn't do a worse
job than them, could we?

“ No!

You goin' anywhere special?

— I wish.

The mayor's invited me
to drinks at the golf club.

I'm only going
because Ceri's my best friend.

God knows why she married him.

Sorry. That was a bit harsh.

- But true.

- Richard! You made it, welcome.

Come here, come here, come here!

This is my wife, Ceri.

Ceri, this is Richard.

Newest addition
to the town council.

- And our postman,
if I'm not mistaken?

- That's right. No thanks.

- Oh, don't be soft!
- Come on over

there are people I want you to meet
nearly all councillors are here.

Oh, vol-au-vent.

- Hello.
- Nice, nice. Come on.

— You know what I'm like about
religion. Humor the masses.

The way her face lit
up on that Lyric stage,

I bloody nearly
converted on the spot.

- This is Darek.

He's Carmarthews answer
to Leon Trotsky.

Only more left wing.

Want you to meet our newest
councillor, Richard Goodridge.

- How you doin'? All right?

On! Eme|yn's boy?

- You knew my dad?

- Aye. Aye, aye.
He spoke about you often.

Ah! Come on you, let's go.

(Aaughs)

- Creoso.

- And on the nationalist
end of the spectrum,

this is Aled.

He's a firm advocate
of the watch towers

and the razor wires
along the border,

ain't you, eh?

- And don't forget
the machine guns.

I won't!

- Welcome to Carmarthen's
corridors of power.

- Thanks.

- Come on, I wanna introduce
Richard to the councillors

who aren't
on the lunatic fringe. Come on.

- I think the feeling is
- Yeah.

- Probably the same. Yeah.

- I know. I know.

Oh, oh I know.

- Oh, I wasn't, er...
- Yeah, you were.

It's fine. I mean, come on.

- Is she, er, you know?

- Single.
- Yes.

- Yeah, I think so.
- Okay.

- The last office Christmas
party I had a few too many.

I had a crack,
but she was having none of it.

- Huh.

— So I think
she might be lesbian.

Oh God.

- Why not?
- Just try, come on.

- I'm gonna go talk
to a good friend of mine.

- Oh yes.
- And you're gonna

help yourself to some nibbles. You okay?
- Absolutely. Yeah.

- All right.
- Thank you.

- All right. Off you go.
Go on, go on. Go on.

- You were all brilliant
in Jesus Christ Superstar.

Anyone got any ideas
about what we put on next?

- Mam, you always do this.

You ask us to vote.
Then we vote.

Then you overrule us. Okay.

Stop pretending
this is a democracy

because it's a dictatorship.

- A benevolent dictatorship.

- Marn. We don't care. You already
know what we're doing next.

So just, you know, tell us.

- Yeah. Tell us.

- It's exciting
this, isn't it? Oh!

- The next production

that we're going
to put on in the Lyric,

is going to be...

- Mam.

- Oliver!

Auditions start on Monday.

- He's the swing vote.

- I know, I've done the numbers.

- Well, you better
keep him close.

- Did I leave my bag
down here, Pete?

~ Hiya!

— Oh. Hiya!

Oh, thank you.

- I love what you've
done with your hair.

It, it looks gorgeous.

- Thank you.

Darek tells me you have got
a Masters in History

from the Open University.

That's very impressive.

- Well, thank you very much.

Medieval is my real passion,
but I love it all, really.

Do you know,
Cambridge University-

- Richard? Sorry, sorry.

Richard, can I drag
you away for a minute?

- I have to get going anwvay,

but, I would love to hear more
about that at some point.

- I just wanted to go
through this schedule

for your first council
meeting on Monday.

Now, we always start
with the most boring stuff,

reading the minutes of the last meeting,

approving the accounts,
that kind of thing.

How are you, sir?

— Good. I'm good.

Thank you Tina. Quick, quick,
All the way down the end.

All these.

Morning, Mayor Jenkins.

- All right, Gwen.
All right, Gwen.

All so tedious. Nobody
bothers to argue.

Then we move on to the reports

and the recommendations
of various committees.

This is a little bit
more interesting,

but it can lead
to a lot of arguments.

I have a proposal here

for a shopping center
in the middle of the town.

This will, go on, go on!

This will bring jobs
and money to Carmarthen

and I think we should
all get behind it.

- Where in the middle of town?

- The Lyric Theatre.

- You what? You little-

This is my passion project.

Come in, come in.

That old cinema is
slowly falling apart,

quickly going out
of business, eh?

Nobody goes there anymore.

- The Lyric? Not even the kids?

- Oh, no, they're all into their
skateboarding now, isn't it?

- Ah, skateboarding.

- I'm planning to build 'em
a special place for that in the park.

No, no, no, this is
a golden opportunity

to bring jobs and life
back to Carmarthen.

_ Hmm?

- It's about securing
the future of our town.

It's what Emlyn
would have wanted.

This is outrageous!

I'm calling a vote!

All those opposed?

- Aye.

- Aye.

- Aye.

- Aye.

- All those in favor?

- Aye.

- Aye.

- Aye.

- Aye.

Goodridge?

— Aye.

- Liz, Liz!

The council just voted
to knock down the Lyric.

- What?
- They're turning it into shopping center.

- They can't!

- Well they already have.

- Mayor Jenkins,

I've just learned
that the council has voted

to turn the Lyric
into a shopping center!

- Oh. Hello Mrs. Evans.

That's correct.
It was a majority decision.

- But you can't do that.

A town without a theater
loses its heart.

Children without creativity lose hope.
Am I right, David?

- Yes, Liz. You are, yeah.

- When I was elected mayor,

I promised to bring
prosperity to Carmarthen.

That's exactly what we're doing.

- Bringing chain stores in here

will force local shops
out of business.

It's happening
all over the place.

Am I right, David?
- Yes, Liz. Yes.

- We made our decision.

- I'm putting
on another production.

— Not at the Lyric, you won't.

The bulldozers
arrive in two weeks.

- Bulldozers?

It's a listed building!

- It's a pity, I know.

But we done a preliminary
structural report

and it looks like we're gonna
be forced to condemn

the whole building.

- I'll fight you in court.

- Oh. Oh, come on now, Liz.

You're not gonna waste
all your family's money on a lawsuit?

- Don't try us. Mayor.

- You can't win.

- Maybe not.

But I can force you to delay
for months, a year even.

And how are you
going to square that

with your developer friends?

- All right. You got a month.

If you stay out of courts.

Now, Tristan, Pete, same again?

Right, can I get
two pints of lager?

- I bet they're all
getting kickbacks

from the bloody developers.

Honestly love,
you were brilliant.

There's nothing else
you could have done.

Listen to me.

We are gonna make sure
the last ever performance

at the Lyric is
something to remember.

I promise you, all right?

Now, come on.

- All right lads,
let's gather around now.

A little bit
of Stevie's warm up.

Here we go.
Dip the shoulders now.

That's it, get nice and low.

Get into that plie.

You know what they say,
"No pain, no gain."

That's it. Five and six
and seven and eight.

Star jumps.

Star jumps.

And voltas.
Now, run on the spot.

Jane Fonda eat your heart out!
Come on, faster!

Jowl it, boys! Jowl it!

And shake it out.

(Aaughs)

A few exercises, eh?
Shoulder rolls.

Roll, roll...
- Now I haven't seen your mam

at the salon for a while.

— Let's have a little bit of energy.
We got a show to do.

- Thanks Steve.

Gather round, gather round.

Nick Jones. Chewing gum, out.

, sorry-

it's no good just
singing the words.

You have to feel them,
and mean it.

- Understand?
- Yes, Liz.

— Yes, Liz.

- What do you mean

I'm a regular gent.

Permit me to assist
you across the road.

- Well, I was only
going to the Palace.

Doorman!

A cab, if you please.

- What are we going to do

when they close
this place down, Miss?

It'll be just terrible.

to happen to Youth Opera.

Right now, you should

Your family,

and your bed.

Instead, you're here.

In the Lyric.

You're bonkers.

“ Liz?

Liz?

Liz?

I'm sorry.

Oh.

I'm so sorry.

- There you are.

I woke up this morning,
you weren't there.

I was worried sick.
- I'm sorry.

I just crashed out.

— Oh, you probably wanna
have a little shower

before you go to work.

- I'm not going to work.

- Oh no. You're not
feeling sick, are you?

_ NQ, nQ, HO, no.

- Then go home and have
a kip, love, come on.

- No... I feel fine.

I'm staying here.

- What?

- I'm not going to let them
knock this place down.

— Liz, |OOk.

They made
the decision, all right?

The builders are
arriving this morning.

- Well they're gonna have
to knock it down with me in it.

- This is not what we agreed.

- No, we didn't agree anything

because I only just
decided to do this!

Oh, David.
- Oh, for Christ's sake, Liz!

You got a home and a family
to take care of, you know?

— Stop being ridiculous.

- Oh, I'm the one being
ridiculous, is it?

You're unbelievable.

- Oh, David. Oar/ad

What do you lot
think you're doin'?

- We were told
the place was vacant.

- Well does it
look vacant to you?

- We got a job to do love.
You need to get outta there.

- And you need
to get on your bike.

- I'll talk to my boss,
we'll be back first thing.

- And it won't be
vacant then, either!

I'll call you back.

— You assured me that
that building was empty.

- What are you talking about?

- There is a woman
in the Lyric Theatre.

- Well get your men
to throw her out!

- They're construction
workers, not bouncers!

- Well Martyn,
get the police to do it!

- Well they might want
to see a court order,

and to get one of those,

we might have to answer
some awkward questions

about why we are trying
to demolish a listed building!

- Ah.

— Do you really wanna
open that can of worms?

No, all my boys need is a day

and that building
will be condemned.

— All right. All right.

You said it's a woman
inside the Lyric?

Uh-huh.
- I'll talk to her.

Your men'll be able to start
work first thing tomorrow.

All right?

- They better.

- Hello?

Dolly?

How did you get in?

- The old side door.

- But I thought the council
locked that up years ago?

- But as you always say, Liz,

"Where there's a will,
there's a way."

I've never paid
to see a film here.

Don't worry,
I shut it behind me,

but you're going
to need new locks

for all the outside doors.

I put the word out.

— So what you doing here?

— Just because you've
taken a principled stand

against the degradations
of crony capitalism

and to preserve the cultural
legacy of our town

doesn't mean you have
to go out of business.

Mrs. Hughes is booked
in for a perm at 11:00.

I told her to come
straight to here.

- And she was
all right with that?

Thrilled!

She's gonna be on stage.

She's tellin' all her friends.

Liz? Liz!

- Oh, no!

' Liz!

- You said you
wouldn't get our way.

- I said I wouldn't
take you to court.

- Come on Liz.
This is ridiculous.

You can't just take
over the place.

- Well, that's what
you are planning to do.

- I'm the mayor.

My job is to look
after the welfare

of the people of Carmarthen!

Keep up the good work.

Come right in Mrs. Hughes.

- You won't get away with this.

♪ And the dream that died J“
- Hey, mam.

♪ With the eagles' flights J“

— Mann!

Mafn!
_

♪ I blame you ♪

♪ For the moonlit nights ♪
- Hiya, boys.

- Hiya.

♪ When I wonder why ♪
- What's going on?

- Thought you might
be lonely, mam.

- So did I, but instead
I've been run off my feet.

What's all this?

- Oh, we just bought
you a few things.

You know, clothes,
stuff you might need.

- It's marvelous. Thank you.

- Mam. You need
to talk to dad, okay?

'Cause he's in right state.

- Well that's
between me and him.

It's none of your business.

- Well, it is part
of our business

when you decide
to move into a theater.

- Well, your dad's welcome
to be part of this.

You all are.
- Liz?

- I'll be a minute.

Listen, why don't we
talk about this later?

- Whatever.

— Oh, Huw!

You come back later. Okay?

- Sorry, mam.
- All right.

Caru ti.
- All right.

— Call Dad!

See you later.

Caru ti, mam.

Caru ti.

- Ta-ra, mam.

Ta-ra.

- You sure you're
gonna be all right?

- I'll be fine.

- I'd be happy to stay-

Or I could get some Mad Dog in
and get hammered.

Remember, tomorrow morning.

Don't be late.
Eight o'clock, first appointment.

- All Right, ta-ra then.
- You gonna lock up?

"I am.

Oh, ho. Oh yes, eh?

Haven't been back
here for years.

I thought you'd like
a bit of company?

- There's nothing I'd like more.

- Yeah. Here, look.

- Ooh!
- What about that, eh?

Come on.

Look at this place.

It's fantastic isn't it?

- I know.

Come through here.

Here we are, look.

- Oh, oh!
- I know.

- You've got it all set up.

- I fancied a change of scenery.

What is it?

- Oh, it's "Guys and Dolls."

- Oh. Grand.

Phew.

What's your family
think of this then?

— Well.

I think for the boys, you know,
it's all a big adventure.

They already think
I'm a bit bonkers, so...

(aaughs)

But for David, it's different.

He thinks I've got
my priorities all wrong.

- It's gonna take
a while for people

to get their heads around
what's so important

about a broken down
old building like this.

That they have to turn their
lives around to save it.

Eh?

- Doesn't look
like much, does it?

- Hmm.

You know, I used
to have a job here.

- No?
- Yeah.

Come on.

I wanna show you something.

- Well...
— Come on.

- I'm intrigued.
- Yeah?

- Oh God.

- You all right?

- What? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Just get a bit short of breath
now and then, you know?

Hey, I'm all right.

Come on.

- Wow.

- It's almost 50 years
since I worked here.

Wow. It hasn't changed much.

— So that was before
you were a teacher?

- Oh yeah. Long before.

Yeah.

No, I was,

I was wounded in the war
and they sent me home and I,

I got a job here at the...

at the new cinema.

I must have seen over
a hundred films from up here.

- What was your favorite?

"Goodbye, Mr. Chips."

- Hmm.
- You know it?

- No.

— Oh, it's almost
the perfect film.

It's tragic. It's sweet.

It's funny. It's...

But the ending, the
ending's a real tearjerker.

Yeah.

Robert Donat.

He's lying on his death bed
and he's got one regret.

That he never had any
children of his own. Huh?

Then he realizes
he's wrong, see?

He's had thousands of them.

Thousands
of children he's taught

and whose lives he's touched.

Wow.

After that, I knew I had
to become a teacher.

- Wouldn't it be great
if we could put on a film?

- For who?
- Anyone.

Anyone who wants to come.

- Well, I'd be up for it.

- How can we get hold of one?

- Errn. Well, there's
nothing here.

You remember Mr. Tucker?

- Yes, I do.

He was my old history teacher.

- Yes! Well, we worked
in here together.

Ooh?
- Yeah, he left before I did and he...

he formed
a film club in the town.

Now he shouldn't have done, mind,
but he kept back a few 35 mil prints.

- Oh!
- Yeah!

Why don't I go
and see him tomorrow?

See what he's got.

- That would be amazing!

- Wouldn't it?
- Hmm.

- Oh-ho!
- That would be amazing.

Oh!

- Morning, Mrs Jones.

Morning, Mr Hopkins.
Lovely day, isn't it?

- Rubbish men haven't
been again this week.

And that needs organizing.

- Same problem.

I'll talk to the mayor
about it today. Okay?

- Ah. Your father would've
had this sorted by now.

I'm only ea yin'.

- Have a good day.

- All right?

- Hi.
- I'm Dai.

Nick's my boy.
- Hiya.

I thought you were banged up?

- I'm out on parole, I am.

I thought I'd make
myself a bit useful

and there's not a lot
I don't know about locks.

- Oh, cheers, Dai.

- Thank you.
- Bye.

- Can you believe they want
to tear all this down?

Yes.

- What you mean?

- Mam, I know much
this place means to you,

but the truth is it's just
a cinema, a cold drafty cinema,

that mainly shows films
that nobody wants to see.

- I thought you were
with me on this?

- We are with you, Mam.

Turning this place
into a shopping center will be a crime,

and I'm sure it's being done
for all the wrong reasons

but unless you can show the people
why it's so important,

then maybe a shopping center
is what they deserve.

- I've got more faith
in people than that.

- Yeah, Mam.

You'll figure it out.

“ Right!

Oh.

- Front, back, side.

No one's getting in
you don't want in.

- Thank you so much.

How much do I owe you?
- Oh, no, no, no, no.

The least I can do.

What you've done for Nick,
I've never seen him happier.

And I might have found
myself a new line of work.

Hello?

- I'm still here.

- I've got
a structural survey here,

says the building is unsafe.

- And I've have had
professional builders in here.

Ones who have not been paid off

by the mayor
and his developer friends

who say it's perfectly sound.

Oh, and if you see the mayor,

you can ask him
why he let his daughter perform

on stage less than a week ago

if he thought he was
unsafe or dangerous.

Oh, just so you know, I'm not
on my own in here anymore.

- Piss off!

- Guess that means you're not planning
to leave anytime soon?

— Good guess!

- Morning, mayor.

We really need to sort
out this bin problem.

- I know.

I've got a meeting
with the union next week.

Right now, I got bigger
problems with the Lyric!

Liz Evans is refusing to budge.

- Hmm.

Everyone was talking about
that on my rounds this morning.

— My God! What are they saying?

- Just that she's not budging.

You know, she's done
people's hair in there?

Right up on the stage. It's...

- Interesting.

The Lyric is licensed
as a place of entertainment.

Not as a hair salon.

If we can prove
that she's working there illegally,

(aaughs)

We get the police
to kick her out.

- You think a few perms and the highlights
are worth of police raid?

- But they don't have to go in there guns
a-blazing like the movies, Richard!

They just need to serve her
with a legal notice to quit.

But we need proof.

Huh. They're not gonna let me
anywhere near the place.

You on the other hand.

- No, I, I'm, I'm not
much of a spy, mayor.

Oh, everybody know you, Richard.

- I, I don't, I don't think

it's a good idea.
- You're their postman.

A couple of photos of what
they're doing is all we need.

Go on. Go on.

- Right. Okay, so.

Just a couple of photos. Right.

Yes.

Just a couple of photos.

Hiya!

I was wondering if one evening
you might fancy a drink?

- I don't think so, councillor.

- I promise I won't bore you

with my Welsh medieval
history stories too.

- You know,
I thought you were a nice guy

until you voted to turn the Lyric
into a shopping center!

How much are they paying you?

- Nothing.
- What do you mean?

- I know he and his cronies
are corrupt.

I know they're getting kickbacks.
What's your excuse?

All right.

There you go lovely.

There we go.
Take that over here.

- Lovely. Oh, I like
the look of that.

- You don't want one, Liz?

- What is it?

- Oh, it's my experimental cocktail.

Three parts brandy,
two parts rum,

tomato juice
and a splash of vodka.

- Ooh!
— Sounds horrible!

- Ooh, it's good.
- That's where you're wrong.

Goes down like a homesick mole,
doesn't it?

“ Dolly?
_ Hrnrn?

- Take over for a minute.

- Yeah, of course.

How are your
grandkids, Mrs. Hughes?

- Hi.

- Hiya. You all right?

Is there somewhere we can talk?

You know, I was thinking.

I think our first
ever kiss was right here?

- No, it's right there in fact.

And I certainly remember it.

How can you not love this place?

It's part of our history.

- Yeah.

I guess the world
has moved on lovey.

- What's bothering you?

- Oh, it's nothing.
It's just...

A lot of the men
need the work, love.

It's years of employment
being offered

to build a shopping center.

Nobody wants to see
Youth Opera closed.

They just...

Well, they...

It's just a building, innit?

- No.

No, it's not.

The Lyric is staying.

Liz!

~ Oh!

- There you go. There, I got it.

Eh?
- It's fantastic!

Here, take this.

It's heavy, mind. There.
- Okay.

- What is it?

- "How Green Was My Valley"

- "How Green Was My Valley?"

- Yeah. It's it classic.

You must have seen it.

- Well I read
the book at school.

Is that all Mr. Tucker had?

- Yeah, pretty much,
but it's perfect.

It was made in 1941.

- So it's in black and white?

— Of course. Yeah.

Now look at this. See, see that?
"Directed by John Ford."

Now he's the one
that gave us Stagecoach,

The Searchers, The Man
Who Shot Liberty Valance,

but this, this is the only one
that won the Oscar

for Best Picture
and Best Director.

- Oh, well I'm, I'm not sure

the kids are gonna
want to see this.

Oh, we don't have to worry
about them!

- Don't we?

- No.

Young people are busy making
their own history, hmm?

It's only when you get
to a certain age

you realize that memories are
the most precious thing in the world.

And that's before
you get to the age,

when you realize that memory
is the only thing you have left.

(Aaughs)

Look at this place.

Oh.

I mean, look at this place, huh?

God. Look at it.

This place holds
so many memories

for so many people in this town.

And they're the ones
who get behind you

when they realize
what they're about to lose.

— Well...

we better let 'em
know it's on then.

I think we should.

How Green Was My Valley.

- I remember that one.

- Yeah, at the Lyric.
- Yeah?

- Yeah.
- Hmm.

- Excuse me,
do you know what's on?

- Liz is showing
"How Green Was My Valley" for free.

I am packing my belongings

in the shawl
my mother used to wear

when she went to the market
and I'm going from my valley,

and this time,
I shall never return.

I am leaving behind me
my 50 years of memory.

Memory.

Strange that the mind
- Richard!

Richard!
- V|//// forget

what only this moment is passed.

- Yes, here, quickly.
— Shh!

Clear and write the memo/y
of what happened years ago,

of men and women
long since dead.

Sorry. Sorry.

Yet, who shall say what is real

and what is not?

Can I believe my friends

- Pick and mix?
- All gone when their voices

are still a glory in my ears?

No, and I will stand
to say no and no again

for they remain a living truth
within my mind.

There is no fence nor hedge
round time that has gone

but the valley would ring

with the sound of many voices.

For singing is in my people
as sight is in the eye.

Men like my father cannot die.

They are with me still,

real in memory
as they were in flesh,

loving and beloved forever.

How green was my valley then.

- What?

- Yankee sugar-coated bullshit.

Those cheery miners,
singing like Disney dwarfs,

are victims
of capitalist exploitation.

- Have you no bloody soul?

It's a celebration
of a way of life.

And they seem to like it.

Yeah! Miserable sod!

Yeah!

- Thank you so much for coming.

Thank you so much for coming!

— I saw a tear in your eye
during some of those scenes.

- Yeah, very dusty in there.

- Aye. Aye.

- We can agree to disagree

about Hollywood's
depiction of Welsh culture,

but that's the point
of the arts, isn't it?

They cause controversy.

- Er, absolutely.

Yeah, that's why we've
gotta join the fight

to save this place
from that sleazeball of a Mayor.

I mean, a new Woolworths doesn't
spark much debate, does it?

- Well, their pick and mix does.

(Aaughs)

- Congratulations
to both of you.

- I thought that
went really well. Eh?

- Fabulous.
- Yeah. I loved the singing.

Did you hear me?
I was upstairs, singing.

- No!
- Yes, yes.

I took a solo.

- Why don't you come by
tomorrow night? For dinner?

We'll work out what
we're gonna put on next.

- Yeah. Yeah, I'd like that.

— Carmarthen police.

— Get me SI Roberts
on the phone.

— I'm coming!

- Liz Evans?

- Yes.

- This is a warrant
for your arrest.

— Go back. Go back.

Inside. Inside.

Right here we go.

Three of you, follow me.

Kings, take the rest down
the right-hand side for me, please.

- Good. Let me know the minute
the building is totally cleared.

Susan.

Susan!

— Susan!

We need to get
Social Services down here.

- When?
- Right away.

Two minors, at least and there's nothing
we can do about it until-

it's all right.
- Oh, mam.

I'm from the Council.

Mam!

— Stop what you're doing!

- Who are you?

- Their lawyer. Sorry I'm late.

- You can tell your client.
I've got them bang to rights.

- Bang to rights?

You've been watching
too many Police dramas.

Okay. Criminal trespass

and operating
an unlicensed business.

And the complaint was
brought by USG Screens.

- I represent USG,
my clients lease this building.

- Excellent. Do you have a copy
of the lease with you?

Thank you.

"Paragraph 15,
section C, subsection three,

grants access to employees
of the town council."

See?

- Well, we won't be arresting you then,
but they're coming with me.

- No, no!
— Come on.

Ssh, ssh, it's okay. It's okay.
Look at me. Look at me.

- Paragraph 26,
section D, subsection four,

"The stage of the Lyric Theatre
will be made available

to the Carmarthen Youth Opera
up to four times a year."

They are the principals
of the Carmarthen Youth Opera.

- It's them. I saw them
in "Jesus Christ Superstar."

It was brilliant.

- We've still got them on operating
an unlicensed business.

- Oh, mam, please!
- Have you ever been to a theater

before officer?

That is a set.
- Hmm.

For what?

- Um...
- "Hairspray."

I saw the film of that here.

Debbie Harry was in it.

I was on my own, mind,
but it was, brilliant.

- I suggest you release everyone
without charges and leave right now.

Or you can tell
the world in open court

that you arrested a bunch
of actors for being on a stage.

- Thank you.

- And we'll need that front door
fixed by the morning.

- They did it.

- So sue them!

— Susan!

Thank you so much.

How did you do that?

- I don't know,
I really don't know!

Have you boys heard the story

of how your mam and dad
fell in love on stage?

Only about a hundred times.

Stella!
— Stella!

— Stella!
— Stella!

- That's you, that is.

- Well, it's Brando.

- "I have always depended on
the kindness of strangers."

- That was pretty good.
- I did not do it like that!

- I bet you did, Mam.
- Didn't.

- Hey, you gotta admit
he's pretty good, isn't he?

You seen the film?
You seen the film?

- I haven't seen the film, no.

- Marlon Brando. "Stella!"

So, have you ever acted
then Mr. Morgan?

- Ah yeah. Well, in my dreams.

Yeah.

Must be wonderful, though.

Stand on a stage, look out at the audience
and know you've got 'em

in the palm of your hand, hey?

Must be the best
feeling in the world.

- Love it.
- Hmm.

- Mam, can you pass me the ketchup?
- Bit like teaching, you know

standin' in front of a class.

- Yeah.
- Will you get me the ketchup?

- Oh, ketchup is it?
- You boys like the film last night?

- Yeah, we did.
I mean, it was a bit cheesy,

but towards the end.
- Cheesy?

"How Green
Was My Valley," cheesy?

- It was all in black and white.
- I've heard it all now.

— So, what are we going
to put on next?

- Well, whatever it is, it'll have to be
something popular.

You know, this place has gotta
work as a business, isn't it?

Otherwise it's gonna be
a struggle to keep open.

- I agree. It's got to be something
that'll bring the kids in.

You know, your, your friends.

Something new.

— Something new!
- Ah, something new.

- Yes!
- Such as? Come on.

- Well, I haven't got a clue.

- Got school
in the morning, remember.

- Well, well, that was
a wonderful evening.

Thanks so much, hey.

- I'd be happy to run you home.

- Oh no, no, no.

Oh, er, Liz, could you bring
those cans of film for me sometime?

- Yeah.
- No urgency, you know.

- Tomorrow,
on the way back from work.

- Yeah. All right.
Nos da. Nos da.

- Nos da.
- Nos da.

- Ta-ra mam, caru ti.
- You gonna be all right then?

— Quick, come on.
- I'll be fine.

- Nos da, then.
- Make sure they go to bed.

- Yeah I will, don't worry.

- Yeah, I know.
- No television.

- Yeah, I got it. Nos da.

- Nos da.

Night, Mr Morgan!

— BYe~bye.

Right. Let's get
your boys home then, yeah?

- I thought you'd gone home.

- I just wanted
to come back and...

Well, ask your forgiveness.

- For what?

- For ever doubtin' you.

You proved to me, well, not
just to me, to everyone,

that this place
is worth fightin' for.

Look, I should have been
all in from the beginning, I know.

And I am now. And forever.

— Oh, David.

I love you.

- I love you, darlin'.

- Oh, very expensive.

- Oh, best from the garage!

(Aaughs)

Mam, mam!

Mam! Mam, look at this.

— It's a trade magazine. Right?

We sent off for it and it's got a list

of all the films
that are gonna come out.

- Here, look, "The Firm."
That's the one with Tom cruise in it.

That'd be really good.

- Or, "Free Willy."
That looks even better.

"Jurassic Park,"
by Steven Spielberg.

Oh, I think it's about dinosaurs.
- Oh, I've read the book!

Oh, it's fantastic.

Oh, so they find
these mosquitoes

that have been trapped in amber
for like millions of years.

But before they died,

the mosquitoes had
bitten dinosaurs

and had the dinosaur
blood in them.

So they get the dinosaur
blood out of the mosquitoes.

They sequenced the dino DNA.

- No, no, no, no! Stop it!
You're gonna spoil it for us!

I'm sorry!

— So, do we think, do we think
this is going to be a hit?

— Are you joking, mam?

- Mam, it's gonna be massive.

— It's gonna be
the biggest ever.

- Liz, I'd pay to see it!

- Jurassic Park needs
to be the next film

that we show at the Lyric.

How are we gonna pull that off?

- Where there's a will,
there's a way.

- Mr. Morgan?

Dai Evans.

Mr. Morgan?

Oh, there you are.

I got your film cans.

I can't stay long.
The van's badly parked.

Mr. Morgan?

Oh, please no!

Mr. Morgan!

— "Because their words
had forked no lightning

they did not go gentle
into that good night.

Good men, the last
waved by, crying,

'How bright their frail deeds

might have danced
in a green bay.

- Rage, rage against
the dying of the light.

- Wild men who caught
and sang the sun in flight,

and learned, too late,
they grieved it on its way,

Do not go gentle
into that good night."'

- You sure they're all there?

Absolutely sure?

- As far as I can tell.
- And you,

- Right.
- My father there

— Susan, get me Martyn
O'Byrne on the phone.

- Putting him
through on line one.

Marlyn, it's empty.

Empty for how long?

- For however long
a funeral in Dryslwyn takes.

It's gonna take the best
part of an hour to get the men

and the heavy equipment there.

So do it.

- "Rage, rage against
the dying of the light."

- Now let us all join together

to celebrate the life
of Howard Morgan.

First and foremost,
Mr. Morgan was a teacher.

He taught hundreds of boys
and girls in Carmarthen.

I was one of them.

He inspired us all.

The most important
thing he taught me,

he taught all of us,

is that this place,

It's history, it's identity,
it's culture, it's people,

makes us who we are,
makes us what we are.

- He's called the builders!

- Who?
- The mayor.

He said to bring
their heavy equipment.

— How long?

- Why do you care?

- How long
till they get to the Lyric?

- The Lyric?
- An hour.

But that was 30 minutes ago.

We should all, every one of us...

- We've got to Q0!

- That's it boys, let's go!

And our heritage.

As this community is threatened,
now more than ever,

we need to honor his legacy
and continue his fight.

With Howard Morgan's passing,

it is our turn
to stand on the shoulders

of a giant of a man.

It's our turn

to save the soul
of our community.

It's our turn to rage against
the dying of the light.

Come on, Dad!

Go faster!

We're not going
to make it in time.

Dad, come on, faster!

- Oi. Watch it!

Oi, whoa, whoa, whoa!

Qi!

— Stop him someone!

Get him off!

Get down!

— Come on!

- What the hell do you think
you're doing?

- I'm stopping you
from doing something

that will affect the lives
of everyone who lives here!

— Councillor Goodridge,
get down from there!

- No!
- What the 'ell is goin' on'?

- I'm not letting you
destroy the Lyric.

- You voted for it, you plum!

- It was a dreadful mistake.

Listening to you,
I made a dreadful mistake.

- Get him down from there, now!

- What on Earth are you
doing up there, Richard?

- I don't know, but I'm part
of the town council now.

So-
- I don't care!

It doesn't put
you above the law.

- Tell that to bloody him.

- If you don't move,
I'm gonna have to arrest you!

- Get him down,
go on, get him down!

Don't just
swing the bloody thing,

knock him off.

Be my guest.

- You do not have
to say anything

- There you go.
- Unless you wish to do so.

But what you say — Stop!

- May be given in evidence.

- You're gonna have to arrest
all of us, starting with me.

Yeah, and me.

- Oh, come on woman, do your job.
Arrest all of them!

Arrest them!
- Hello, Wendy.

- Minister!

- Oh, Christ.

- On the subject
of Christ, our Savior.

You're gonna have to arrest
me as well.

- Go on, Father.
- That's all we need now.

- As mayor of Carmarthen,

I'm ordering you to do your job!

- I don't work
for you, Mayor Jenkins.

- You tell him.
- I work for the people of Carmarthen.

- So do I!
- I don't think so!

I think you work for him!

Surprise, surprise.

- Right!
You lot get this machine

out of here, now!

I don't wanna see you here again
without a court order. Understand?

- This is ridiculous.
- Ah!

- You tell him!
- Right, let's go. Open it up!

Great job. Well done.

- And I'm letting you off
with a warning.

Pick a side and stick with it!

You're gonna get
a firmly worded letter from me.

- Good!
- Brilliant!

Drinks in the Lyric.

Cocktails for everyone!

Celebration!

- Well, it seems
I misjudged you.

- Go on.

- Well, it was very brave of you

to jump on top of a 10,000
pound wrecking ball.

- Really? 10,000 pound?

- Well, give or take.

- Huh, I just saw it,

and I couldn't think
of anything else to do, so.

- Well, it worked.
- Yeah.

But you know,

There is something
else you could do.

- I don't know the first thing
about being a bloody mayor.

- But I do. And I'll help you.

- You know,
win or lose, you know,

this could be a platform
to get our message out.

It could be a game changer.
- All right.

I need one
of these to go through

every letter box
in Carmarthen, right?

- Oh, I can do that, can't I?

- Oh, no. You're excused
from postman duties today.

Instead, you are going down
to the "Herald" offices.

Lynn is expecting
you in 15 minutes,

and then, at three o'clock,

BBC Radio Wales want
to interview you.

- Interview?
- Yeah. You'll be fine.

- Bloody Goodridge.

This is absurd!

- All I know is there's
thousands of them.

In people's letter boxes,
lampposts, bus shelters.

- All right,
all right, I get the idea,

but he's not even on the ballot.

- There's a space where you can
write in a new candidate's name.

- Who's gonna do that?

- I've also heard
that Aled and Darek

have withdrawn from the election
and they're supporting him.

- Oh, that's six votes
for the bloody idiot right there.

I'm trembling!

- He's given interviews
to the "Herald."

He's on the radio.

You need to respond.

- He's making this
all about the Lyric.

Nobody cares
about that old ruin!

- Morning, Liz.

Are you all right, Susan?

So how's it going
on the dinosaur front?

- The distributor
gave us a flat no.

They won't give a copy to a cinema
that's to be demolished,

et cetera, et cetera.

So, I've decided to go
straight to the top.

- Who's at the top?

- "Dear Mr. Spielberg.

My name is Liz Evans

and I run a youth theater
group in Carmarthen, Wales.

We put on our performances
in the Lyric,

an Art Deco building that was
turned into a cinema in 1935.

The town council, in its wisdom,

wants to knock down the building

and replace it
with a shopping center."

Now, that's as far
as I've got for now,

but, I'm going to go on
and explain

how showing Jurassic Park
will help save the Lyric.

- Oh, I've got some
of the mayor's stationary.

It'll look more official
if you send it on this.

And then I'll intercept any letters
coming in from America.

- Marvelous!

On my round
as a postman every day

people talk to me about
their issues, you see?

Bin collection, transport,
parking, schools.

A lot of them have ideas

about how to improve
our lives in Carmarthen.

Now, if, if I'm elected mayor,

my most important job
will be to listen to them.

Every single one of them.

He's a natural.

- It still odds on
for Torn to win, mind.

So we got to get everyone
we can out to vote.

A lot of people
have read about your heroics

in the campaign to save
the Lyric Theatre.

- I'm not sure how heroic it...
- Richard Goodrich is just the postman.

Yes? I'm the mayor!

- Thank you.
- No, the real hero here

is Liz Evans,
who put her life on hold

to lead the campaign.

So I'm very proud
of my community.

We're both very proud
of its history.

We all need to be clear,
it is not for sale.

Not at any price.

- You all right?

- Still nothing
from Mr. Spielberg.

- I'm sure he's busy promoting
his new film?

Besides, it's only been
a couple of months.

- If we can't find a way

to get people to come here again
and start spending money,

I dunno what I'm gonna do.

Hey.

Hey, like you say, Liz, yeah?

"Where there's a will,
there's a way."

Hey. Look at what
you've achieved so far.

Some of those people here
that other night,

they hadn't left
their house for weeks.

They, they hadn't seen
each other in years.

You brought them back together.

The Lyric is important.

And you will find a way
to keep it goin'.

Right?

- Right.

- Now, get out there and vote.

I wanna see the look
on Torn Jenkins' face

when he's booted out
of his office.

- You're right. Thank you.

- You're very welcome.

We need you. Chin up.

- Dolly.

Will you go and get me
a whisky and Babycham?

— Ooh, coming up. A double.

Do you want one as well?
Do you fancy one, Ethel?

- I'll have one, why not?
- Yes. Come on, let's go.

- As Clerk of the Town Council

I declare that in the election
for Mayor of Carmarthen

the votes cast were as follows.

For Torn Jenkins, 4,617.

For Richard Goodridge, 4,711.

Accordingly, I declare that
- What?

Richard Goodridge
has been duly elected to serve

as Mayor of Carmarthen.
- Can I have a look?

Can I have a look?

Recounfl

Call for you on line one.

- Thank you.

Right.

- Hello. Mayor Goodridge.

Mayor Goodridge.

- Red then green.

- Oh, I'm doing that, I'm doing that.
- Red then green,

- Hello, Mayor Goodridge.

- Red then green.

- Hello?

- Hello?
- Mayor Goodridge.

Hello!

This is Jennifer Costas from
Amblin Pictures in Los Angeles.

Hello?
- Right.

Good.
- Hi.

- Hello.
- I'm calling about the Lyric Theatre.

I passed on the letter that

you and Mrs. Evans
wrote to Mr. Spielberg,

and I just thought
I'd call you myself

and relay the information.

- Well thank you.
- Because, well,

it's not every day I can call
a real live mayor.

Mr. Mayor, yes.

- That's me.
- Yes.

- The Mayor of
Carmarthen, Wales.

Carma/Then, Wales.

It sounds so romantic,
but Where in the World is it?

- It's in Wales.

Oh yes, of course.

I'm sure it's very beautiful.

Listen, are you and Mrs. Evans
free to speak in an hour?

- Free in an hour? I don't-

Yes! Yes, yes!

— Yes, yes, yes, yes we are. Yes.
- Great!

- Great!
- I'll speak to you in an hour then.

Bye-bye.

— Unbelievable!

— Corning!

Scissors and Combs,
Dolly speaking.

You having me on?

You're jokin'!

A-a-all right.
Er, she'll be there.

Okay, bye. Bye.

Liz. Liz!

It's him!

Who?

- Steven Spielberg.

- What?
— Steven Spielberg. On the phone!

- Don't be daft!

He's not gonna be
calling on a payphone.

- No! He's calling the mayor's office
in half an hour!

- Now, hang on.

What about my hair?
This is peroxide.

- Oh, I, I can have a go.

- No offense, Dolly,

but there's only one woman
that does my hair

and it's you Liz Evans.

— Okay. Stay calm, stay calm.

Hello, Mayor Goodridge.

— This is
Steven Spielberg, it's a pleasure

to speak to you.
- It's a pleasure to speak to you too,

but you should be
speaking with Liz Evans.

She's the one leading
the campaign

to try and save the Lyric Theatre.

Shall I call back?

- No, she's right here.

I'll pass you over
to her now. Okay.

- Hello? This is Liz Evans.

Mrs. Evans, it sounds like

you're in the middle
of a hell of a fight?

-I am.

Can you believe
they want to knock down

an Art Deco building
and put up a shopping center?

$0 you want Jurassic Park?

- Yes, please. Mr. Spielberg,

I think showing your new film

would really help save the Lyric.

It would be tremendous!

What I'm gonna do

is I'm gonna send
you my personal copy

and you can put it on
three minutes

after the London premiere starts.

How's that?

- Oh my God.
I, doesn't seem real.

I, I, I don't what to say.

Oh, thank you.

Thank you so much,
Mr. Spielberg.

Thank you.
- Good luck saving your theater.

- Okay, bye-bye. Bye.
- Thanks, goodbye.

Oh, my God!

He's gonna give us the film!
- You're joking!

He's gonna give us the film!

— Well?

- You look great.
- Amazing.

- I feel a bit of a-
- No, no. Honestly.

— Sure?
- Really handsome.

Your hat.

No, just carry it.

- Okay.
- Yeah.

Yeah.

- Shall we?

- Yes.

- Knock 'em dead.

_ okay-

- Mayor Goodridge.

Liz, Liz.

Can you tell us what
we're gonna see?

Enough now.

Oh here she is.

Look, look, look!

Including Steven
Spielberg, of all people!

- You look beautiful, love.
- At first I didn't believe it, you know?

I thought that Richard, and Dolly

were playing a joke on me.
- You look beautiful, love.

- She said Dolly. She said my name.
- But no, it really was him.

It was Steven Spielberg.

He's giving the Lyric
his personal copy

of his new film.
- Oh, my gosh.

- Shh'.
- Liz, thanks very much.

- I love you.
- And it's back to you in the studio.

- Back to studio!

Well done, Mam!
- Yes!

Well done, Mam.

- Hiya!
- Hiya, Susan.

- So I found a few of these
in storage in the town hall.

They're from when Prince Charles
visited 10 years ago.

Do you remember?

Anyway, I thought we might
be able to use them

for the premiere.
- Yay!

- It's gonna be great!
- Is anyone famous comin'?

- No.

But, because it's
a "People's Premiere"

why don't we all just pretend
to be celebrities?

All right. You're really
gonna get to school now. Come on.

Ugh!

- Give us one of those crisps.
Don't whinge.

- How's Richard?

- Oh, he's great.
He's on his way to London.

Channel 4 was so impressed
with his interviews yesterday,

they've asked him to be
on the "Big Breakfast."

♪ No?
♪ No?

- He's gonna be in bed?

- What? No, they're interviewing him.
- Yeah.

That's how they do it
on the "Big Breakfast."

- Yeah.
- The guests get into bed

with the presenter
and she asks them questions.

- You having me on?

- No, no.
- No.

- Give me those crisps.

- You should pop by tomorrow

and we'll watch it
together in the morning.

- All right.

I don't think we've ever had

a real life mayor in bed before.

I'm just yanking your chain.

— She's flirting with him.

- Is it real gold?
- Mm-hmm.

That's how they do it
on their show.

— So you talked
to Steven Spielberg?

- Yes. Just, just for a moment.

And I passed him on
to Liz Evans.

She's the one leading
the campaign

to save the Lyric Theatre
in Carmarthen.

It's her passion
and her energy that really got,

got Steven behind
the project at all.

- "Passion and energy."
I like the sound of that!

What is it?
Or should I ask, who is it

you're passionate about Richard?

— I think...

I hope,

they know who they are.

That was Richard Goodr/dge,

Wales' newest, sexiest mayor.

- What?
- See you after the break.

- It's Richard.

Richard!

(Aaughs)

Hello!
- Hello.

There he is!
- Welcome home!

- Thank you.
— Our local star.

- Ah, you saw it then?
- Yeah. It was brilliant.

- Oh, thank you. Thank you, yes.

Was one of the strangest
experiences of my life,

but, I think I said
everything I wanted to, so.

- You were great this morning.

- Thank you, thank you.
- You really were.

- Place looks amazing.

Oh, speaking of which, boys,

look what I've got from London.

- What are they?

- Massive inflatable dinosaurs.

Thanks.

Whoa.
- Thank you.

- Hiya.
- Hey. Hello.

How's the, your office?

- Everything's under control.

- Lovely.

- Do you remember,

do you remember asking
whether I'd like to go

for a drink with you sometime?
- Well.

- Well, I've thought
about it some more

and I've decided I would.

- You would?
- Hmm.

- Well. Fantastic!

When?
- Now.

— Now. Now?!

- Look.

- Smells good. Smells good.

— Hi. Hi.

Thank you.
- Hello.

- Now, get these down you
and tell me what you think.

— Oh, okay.

Can I ask what it is?

- Oh. You can.

So, for this occasion,

I've invented a range
of prehistoric cocktails.

That is a T-Rextacy.

Clever.

- And that is a Veliciraptor.

- Oh, right. And what's in it?

- You don't wanna know.

Go on.

- Okay, well, tech yd da!
- Yeah.

- Oh, hang on.

— I, er...

- Oh, that's strong.

- Oh, it's lovely.
No, it's lovely. Smashing.

- Well, I'll, I'll,
I'll be back, now.

- I, I wasn't sure if you,
if you saw the, well, my, my,

the whole-

- Right.

- Well, they promised me a limo,

but I've ended up in this.

Good afternoon to you.

Now minutes after
the premiere in London

the people of Carmarthen
are about to enjoy

one of the first screenings

of Steven Spielberg's
Jurassic Park.

- You join me right
in the heart of Carmarthen.

It's right in the-
- Now here in Carmarthen

there are no freebies
for the rich and the famous.

Everyone's got
to buy their own ticket.

The cost, two pound fifty,
or half price for children.

Doesn't seem to have stopped
anybody coming out though.

Let's have a word
with a few with them.

Who have we got here?
Hello. And you are?

- Hello, I'm Mavis. Mavis Jones.

- And Mavis,
do live in Carmarthen?

- Yes. I've lived
here all my life.

I work in Tesco's
on Pensarn Road.

- And you looking forward
to seeing the film?

- Yes, very much so.
Steven Spielberg.

- So Mavis, enjoy the film.

- Thank you.
- And with that,

it's back to you in the studio.

The combination
of Princess Diana and dinosaurs

is obviously dynamite.

So Leicester Square came
to a complete halt this evening

as inside, the Princess of Wales

greeted Sir Richard Attenborough

who plays the owner
of Jurassic Park.

Steven Spielberg
himself has suggested

that children under 13,

shouldn't. be allowed to see
what some have called,

“Jaws with claws."

- Oh, yeah. We've got
all the big wigs in tonight.

- Oh, thank you
so much for coming.

- We're gonna set out a-

- I've got an idea.
- All right.

Be right back!

- It's only right
that the people of Carmarthen

should see Jurassic Park first.

- Right?
- Not the London people.

- So what are you thinking.
— Us.

Go on.

- There.

- Yes!
— Come on.

- The townsfolk in
Carmarthen in North Wales

say nothing ever happens
in their town

and their theater never gets
new films, like Jurassic Park.

But this year they took a stand.

They appealed directly
to director Steven Spielberg

to arrange to have the film
make its debut in Wales,

their humble Hamlet.

And it worked.

Spielberg cut
through the red tape

and arranged to get the theater

a print of the film
for the premiere.

It's a story
with a happy ending.

Residents say it is
the most exciting thing

to happen in years.

- Right?

Let's go to our premiere.

We did it!

- That's amazing.
