Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:35,920
What time is it?
2
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:42,559
He's half an hour late.
3
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:46,279
We're here now.
Let's just hear him out.
4
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:48,039
He comes highly recommended.
5
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:50,959
Mr and Mrs Mottershead, sorry.
Got caught up with a client.
6
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:06,479
Busy, Mr Kelly?
7
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:09,679
But you have my undivided attention
now, I can assure you.
8
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:12,119
- How can I help?
- We're looking for representation.
9
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:14,239
We have a planning appeal for a zoo,
10
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:16,439
scheduled in front
of the Ministry of Health
11
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:18,560
and the entire village of Upton.
12
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:23,719
The court of public opinion can be tricky.
13
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:28,719
It's not about facts and figures,
it's about emotion... trust.
14
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:31,000
Added to which, the council
have got very deep pockets.
15
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:34,719
They'll throw experts at a case
like this, groom witnesses.
16
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:38,119
Look, why don't I write down
my fee on this piece of paper
17
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:40,239
and we can negotiate from there?
18
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:42,799
You don't even know the terms,
how can you put a price on it?
19
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:44,959
You get a feel for these things.
20
00:01:44,960 --> 00:01:46,760
Aye, for pound notes, you mean!
21
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:52,399
No doubt that'd be me on the end
of that phone when you got my money.
22
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:54,279
Are you even qualified
in the law, Mr Kelly?
23
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:55,799
I've got a certificate on the wall
24
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:57,919
and a waiting room
full of clients to prove it.
25
00:01:57,920 --> 00:01:59,039
Is there a problem here?
26
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,879
No, no, I just think I can make
a better fist of things myself.
27
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:04,839
- Is that right? - At least I'll have the advantage
of knowing what the hell I'm talking about.
28
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,520
- I've had enough of this!
- George, hold on!
29
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:14,199
You know, there's many a fella
who thinks he can argue his own case,
30
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,079
so here's a bit of advice
for free--
31
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:19,000
a temper like his
is hardly built for a courtroom.
32
00:02:25,640 --> 00:02:27,679
Leave that bird alone, you'll be late.
33
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:29,479
But he's still not eating.
34
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:31,359
Maybe I should take him to school with me,
35
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:32,799
make sure he's all right.
36
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:35,119
I don't want him anywhere near Upton, June.
37
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,439
None of the people in that village
can be trusted.
38
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,119
Oh, don't be so dramatic, Albert.
39
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:41,959
Well, one of them
cut the nets, didn't they?
40
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,959
Those lovebirds are tiny.
They won't last five minutes in the wild.
41
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:49,000
You kept them well fed.
They've got a fighting chance.
42
00:02:50,128 --> 00:02:52,509
I tell you what,
why don't you
43
00:02:52,629 --> 00:02:56,387
invite a friend home for tea
tomorrow?
44
00:02:57,474 --> 00:02:59,011
Anyone you like.
45
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:11,479
- Ladies, this is our newest girl, Muriel...
- Atkinson.
46
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:14,719
Miss Atkinson, this is
Gail and Harriet.
47
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,441
They'll make you feel
right at home, I'm sure.
48
00:03:17,878 --> 00:03:21,076
I'm on the third floor, so come by later
if you want to have lunch.
49
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:26,119
She's a legend round here.
50
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:27,559
Frankie?
51
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:29,279
You're allowed to call her that?
52
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,719
So, how many words a minute are you?
53
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,959
Sixty... at a push.
54
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:36,679
That's... pretty good.
55
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,880
Harriet holds the record--
87 words a minute.
56
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:49,320
Oh, we're not really supposed
to decorate our desks.
57
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:04,559
I don't need some second-rate solicitor
arguing for me.
58
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:06,439
He didn't even sound like a lawyer.
59
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:08,560
I never had you down as a snob.
60
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:13,760
Look, Tipping's here.
61
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:16,880
What are they doing?
62
00:04:21,462 --> 00:04:23,198
Getting organised.
63
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,200
Mother, you're the Ministry.
64
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:35,799
Dad... Chester Council.
65
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:37,840
Lizzie, I need you to be Upton.
66
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:43,959
Right, I'll be me, obviously.
67
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,719
Now, I want us to imagine
what they're likely to throw at us,
68
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:48,560
so be as hostile as you like.
69
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:55,719
Dad...
70
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,959
why don't you start us off?
71
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,039
Ask me a question, anything you like.
72
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,199
Right. Well...
73
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:04,999
Do you not think a zoo would detract
74
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,479
from the value of the property
in Upton Village?
75
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:08,720
No, not at all.
76
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:13,959
Is that it?
77
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:16,239
Short and to the point.
78
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:18,599
But it'll hardly add to the value, will it?
79
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:21,159
I mean, if the house were
a stately home or something that...
80
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:22,479
Oakfield was empty before.
81
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:25,919
There were no rates were being paid,
so I'm doing the council a favour.
82
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:29,079
Oh, so we are to be grateful
to you and your family
83
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:32,359
for causing an uproar
in a once peaceful village?
84
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,359
Mother, the Ministry won't be saying
stuff like that, will they?
85
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:36,679
They'll be listening.
86
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:38,359
Excuse me, Mr Mottershead,
87
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:40,559
I'm in charge of these proceedings,
not you.
88
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:42,280
Answer the question, please.
89
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:45,080
All right.
90
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:51,879
Yes, you should be grateful
for what my family is building.
91
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:53,599
This will put Upton on the map.
92
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:57,359
So it will be a magnet,
attracting the worst in society?
93
00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:59,519
Day trippers from the city.
94
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,359
Now, who are these day trippers
that people keep going on about?
95
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:06,879
No, it'll be normal folk who want
to experience what my zoo can offer!
96
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:08,439
Busloads of them?
97
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:09,800
We can but dream.
98
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:13,119
Do you find this amusing, Mr Mottershead,
99
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:16,279
putting these good people
through such an ordeal?
100
00:06:16,280 --> 00:06:18,839
Well, then, it's their fault
for being narrow-minded bigots.
101
00:06:18,840 --> 00:06:20,759
You can't say things like that, son.
102
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:22,119
It's true.
103
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,799
The kind of person
who vandalises that aviary--
104
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,159
you think they're thinking rationally?!
105
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,999
They're frightened of this zoo,
they're frightened of progress,
106
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:31,799
they're frightened of change!
107
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,399
Now, you can't put a hold on the future.
108
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,599
You heard what Neville Kelly said,
the court of public opinion...
109
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:40,680
The people of Upton, they're never
going to accept us, so forget them.
110
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:44,560
It's the Ministry we've got to convince.
111
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:56,559
Good Lord, an actual job? As in every day?
112
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:58,159
Morning.
113
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:02,319
Hello. Mew was just telling me
about her adventures in the world of work.
114
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:04,359
You must be pleased.
115
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:05,760
It's her choice.
116
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:10,999
I'll see you tonight.
117
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,520
Don't be late, there's still
plenty to do round here.
118
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:17,520
- She had to spread her wings at some point.
- I know.
119
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:24,319
So, to what do we owe the pleasure, Milady?
120
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:27,239
Well, I actually came to say thank you
121
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:29,159
for talking me into going to London.
122
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:32,159
- It was good for me.
- I'm glad.
123
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:36,839
Which is why I've come to offer
my services for the appeal,
124
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:38,319
as a witness.
125
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:42,239
Really? In front of everybody?
126
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:46,279
Why not? It makes perfect sense.
127
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:47,719
I'm your next-door neighbour.
128
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:50,079
If I don't mind what you're doing,
why should they?
129
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:53,000
You see?
Why can't everybody think like you?
130
00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:58,360
I should probably go.
131
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:12,039
Good morning, Lady Katherine!
132
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:13,800
Morning, Archie.
133
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:30,879
You want to watch out,
they dock your pay if you're late.
134
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:32,080
It won't happen again.
135
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:43,080
Can you smell something?
136
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:48,040
Smells like...
137
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:51,800
farm.
138
00:09:02,680 --> 00:09:04,360
What did Katherine want?
139
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:09,199
She's offered to speak on our behalf.
140
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:13,079
Look, it's not exactly like we've got
a long list of witnesses, you know.
141
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:16,160
- She's been a good friend to us.
- To us or to you?
142
00:09:18,680 --> 00:09:22,439
Look, if you've got
any better suggestions, then please...
143
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:25,159
Well, what about Mr Fenchwood?
144
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:27,759
Wonderful. Maybe he can tell us
145
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,199
how many mortgage payments
we've been late for.
146
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:34,920
Well, if you could swallow your pride,
there is someone.
147
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:46,000
Mr Mottershead is here.
148
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:54,799
I'm not going to beat around the bush.
149
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:56,919
I know you signed that petition.
150
00:09:56,920 --> 00:10:00,079
It's a shame, because
I thought you understood
151
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,359
what we're trying to build
better than most.
152
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:04,879
I did. I do.
153
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,039
Then help me, please.
154
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:09,239
Be a character witness at the appeal.
155
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,679
He can't.
156
00:10:11,680 --> 00:10:14,319
My family risks losing everything.
You do you know that?
157
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:16,239
- What about us?
- Polly...
158
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:17,719
No, it needs saying.
159
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,719
If people don't trust us,
then how on earth can we do our jobs?
160
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:23,079
You're not the only ones
with something to lose.
161
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:25,480
Look, darling, why don't you
leave us alone for a moment?
162
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:34,880
She's right, it would be difficult
for us if I spoke up in support.
163
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:41,119
It would be even more difficult,
wouldn't it,
164
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:44,000
if the people knew
you'd treated the bears unofficially?
165
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:50,159
Aaron Webb tried a similar tactic
on me, you know.
166
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:52,839
You two are more alike than you realise.
167
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:55,239
Look, tell people what you like about me,
168
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:57,839
and if I'm called by either side,
I'll answer truthfully.
169
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:00,079
But I won't play character witness
for a man, any man,
170
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,360
who would threaten me to get his own way.
171
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:13,479
Dad's still planning on having
elephants and lions, tigers too.
172
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:15,439
I'm not really supposed to say it, but...
173
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:18,919
It's all right.
I won't tell anyone, promise.
174
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:20,480
So, where's Mortimer?
175
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:24,959
There he is!
176
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:26,399
Did I scare him?
177
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:28,839
I taught him hide-and-seek
last week. He loves it.
178
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:30,200
Come on.
179
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:03,760
Found you!
180
00:12:15,680 --> 00:12:18,759
What are you doing snooping around?!
Give me them!
181
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:21,959
We were just playing hide-and-seek.
Mortimer was hiding.
182
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:23,119
- <
- Found him!
183
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:25,800
Go home, do you understand me? Go on!
184
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:31,199
But, Dad, Gran said I could
invite her round. She's my friend.
185
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:34,399
No. We have no friends
in this village, June,
186
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:36,680
only people trying to get one over on us.
187
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:40,320
I need to work now.
188
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:55,919
What are you doing here?
189
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:57,879
I've got something for you.
190
00:12:57,880 --> 00:12:59,400
Mate of mine owed me money.
191
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:06,680
Paid me in pork.
192
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:10,439
It's not fit for human consumption,
193
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:13,039
but I wondered if it might be good for you?
194
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:15,519
- Thanks very much!
- For the animals, I mean!
195
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:17,760
I know. Thank you, Billy.
196
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:22,760
Have you had any tea yet?
197
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:35,359
An a fortiori argument
is an argument from a stronger...
198
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:37,120
Must you read at the table?
199
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:40,959
What's all that stuff anyway?
200
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:44,239
- I thought you were going to see Neville Kelly.
- Well, we did.
201
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:46,079
He's a charlatan. I can do better myself.
202
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:49,799
Albert, I thought you'd picked up
your pension this week?
203
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:51,160
I did!
204
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:53,840
I needed money for books.
205
00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:58,799
Look, I'm trying to put together
a proper defence
206
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:01,439
and whatever money it takes,
it will be a damn sight cheaper
207
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:03,000
than what Kelly's charging.
208
00:14:06,680 --> 00:14:07,959
Sorry I'm late.
209
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:09,319
Oh, here you go, love.
210
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:11,679
How's work, then, Mew?
211
00:14:11,680 --> 00:14:14,479
Any idea how the case
against us is shaping up?
212
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:16,679
George, come on, that's not fair.
213
00:14:16,680 --> 00:14:20,159
What do you mean it's not fair?
She's on the inside track.
214
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:21,479
I can't help you, Dad.
215
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:25,279
If anyone at the council knew I was
a Mottershead, that'd be it for me.
216
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:27,759
Well, I'm only asking you
to dig around a little bit.
217
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:32,399
And it wouldn't kill you
to work your sources either, Billy.
218
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:34,359
And what's that supposed to mean?!
219
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:36,079
Come off it, will you?
220
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:40,079
The way that you and Frankie
were getting on at that benefit, hm?
221
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:42,239
I bet she'd tell you anything.
222
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:44,959
We can't go asking people
to do that sort of thing for us.
223
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:47,559
Why not? Do you think
they're playing fair in Upton?
224
00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:49,719
Sabotaging our aviary!
225
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:51,240
Bloody hellfire!
226
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:56,240
Unbelievable. I'll be in the study.
227
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:06,239
And the men of Israel were numbered
400,000 that drew sword.
228
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:08,840
All these were men of war.
229
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:11,719
Not in here.
230
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:13,360
But he's hungry, Gran!
231
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:31,959
I'm sorry my dad shouted at you.
232
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:34,559
He's not himself, or so Gran says.
233
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:37,440
My mum says he's finally
showing his true colours.
234
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:44,039
Reverend.
235
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:45,279
- Tell him to let go!
- Why?
236
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:48,159
If he stays with you,
he won't even have a roof over his head!
237
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:49,560
Argh!
238
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:55,080
Who started this?
239
00:15:58,440 --> 00:15:59,920
Answer me!
240
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:04,159
- She did.
- It was June.
241
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:06,039
They're liars. It wasn't me, Gran.
242
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:07,279
That's enough now!
243
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:09,799
Mrs Mottershead,
if June can't control herself,
244
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:12,119
it might be best if you leave her
at home next Sunday.
245
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:14,799
Things are only likely to get worse.
246
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:18,159
The Israelites casting out
the Benjamites, you mean.
247
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:19,399
I'm sorry?
248
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:22,199
Your sermon. Judges 20.
249
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:24,919
Seemed a bit pointed,
if you don't mind me saying.
250
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:27,599
If you don't like my ministry,
Mrs Mottershead,
251
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:31,400
might I suggest you get on a bus
and go to Chester?
252
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:43,479
Everyone in Upton hates us, don't they?
253
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:45,119
Of course not.
254
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:46,960
That's what Dad says.
255
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:51,360
Here.
256
00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:59,079
Not now.
257
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:00,240
Excuse me?!
258
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:05,599
I just... I need to get
this opening statement right.
259
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:07,879
I just thought you might like to know
260
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:11,519
our daughter got into a fight
after church.
261
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:13,200
Reverend Webb broke it up.
262
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:17,079
I bet he loved that.
263
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:20,599
I'm taking her out of school
until this whole thing is decided.
264
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:23,159
- It's only one fight.
- You know, there was a time
265
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:26,919
when there was nothing more important
to you than our family!
266
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:30,239
- Who do you think I am doing this for?!
- I don't know!
267
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:32,320
I hardly recognise you any more!
268
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:36,719
It's what they all want, you know?
269
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:38,480
For us to turn on each other.
270
00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:59,519
Can I help you, Mrs Mottershead?
271
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:04,280
This... is all our correspondence
with the council.
272
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:08,839
It would be a good case for you.
273
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:11,759
A lot of exposure too, what with
the Ministry of Health presiding.
274
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:13,359
I thought your husband...
275
00:18:13,360 --> 00:18:15,919
I'm worried what he's willing to do to win.
276
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:19,280
He's desperate, and I think
they'll take advantage of that.
277
00:18:22,120 --> 00:18:25,759
Well, you haven't given me
much time to prepare.
278
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:27,719
That would need to be reflected
in the fee.
279
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:30,119
- I was thinking about that on the bus ride here...
- Good.
280
00:18:30,120 --> 00:18:33,079
and I came to the conclusion
we shouldn't pay you.
281
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:35,319
Say again?
282
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:38,719
You're an ambitious man,
obviously, self-made,
283
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:42,840
but I think you need a case
of this profile to prove yourself.
284
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:47,360
So it would be MUTUALLY beneficial,
if you think about it.
285
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:51,360
Shall we make a start?
286
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:18,159
I apologise. I wasn't sure
if I needed an appointment, Milady.
287
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:21,519
It's just as well.
You wouldn't have got one, Reverend.
288
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:23,160
I won't keep you long.
289
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:39,479
I'm assuming you've been asked
to speak on behalf of the Mottersheads?
290
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:41,759
I know you're a...
291
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:43,279
fan of the man.
292
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:45,519
Is this some sort of attempt
to scare me off?
293
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:48,239
No, not at all.
I just wanted you to be aware
294
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:50,959
that the appeal is likely
to be a candid affair.
295
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:54,039
Everyone in Upton knows
my business by now. It's hardly a secret.
296
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:58,439
Yes, no, but it's the Mottersheads
that YOU'LL damage by association.
297
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:00,879
Isn't it better just to stay out of it?
298
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:03,559
Why is it so important to raise your head
above the parapet
299
00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:05,879
for Mottershead of all people?
300
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:07,759
I could ask you the same.
301
00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:11,800
Why go out on a limb and make
such an effort to stop a man like George?
302
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:15,439
He pushes his luck. He...
303
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:17,639
ignores the wishes of the majority,
304
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:20,559
he blindly pursues his own will.
305
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:23,079
- You may find that heroic.
- I do.
306
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:25,799
Well, I find it selfish in the extreme,
307
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:29,479
especially in one who purports
to be a family man,
308
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:32,399
then goes gallivanting around London
309
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:35,520
with a single woman
of questionable moral judgment.
310
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:40,440
Good day.
311
00:20:57,280 --> 00:20:59,440
Wish me luck, fellas.
312
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:04,199
Right, there's fresh straw
in the small stable.
313
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:05,520
There's your list.
314
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:11,520
And the baby penguin
needs feeding every four hours.
315
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:15,919
Are you sure this is a good idea?
316
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:17,839
They're animals, Lucy! How hard can it be?
317
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:19,639
It's not them I'm worried about.
318
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:21,199
Just stick to the list, Billy.
319
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:24,159
And no deviations or improvisations.
320
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:26,879
We've got enough to worry
about at the hearing.
321
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:28,120
Have you got that, Billy?
322
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:56,479
Look at them.
323
00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:58,359
Smug. Sanctimonious.
324
00:21:58,360 --> 00:21:59,719
Steady on.
325
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:01,880
Aye, if it's a fight they want,
they've got it.
326
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:07,720
What's he doing here?
327
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:13,200
- Lizzie, you went to him behind my back?
- We need his help.
328
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:17,799
The hell we do!
He's not getting a penny of my money.
329
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:19,119
It's too important to you.
330
00:22:19,120 --> 00:22:21,600
You'll get all worked up
and play right into their hands.
331
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:26,000
I have to do this.
332
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:32,560
We can't trust you, George.
333
00:22:57,440 --> 00:22:59,360
I'll wait for you in the van, then.
334
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:33,599
Just some housekeeping before we begin.
335
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:37,679
Each side will get a chance to speak
and to cross-examine evidence.
336
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:39,319
This is not a court of law,
337
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:43,439
but I expect every man and woman
to stand on their honour.
338
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:46,320
Mr Tipping, would you like
to start us off, please?
339
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:50,679
'I stand before you today
340
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:54,119
'representing the proud people of Upton,
341
00:23:54,120 --> 00:23:55,799
'a community threatened by
342
00:23:55,800 --> 00:24:00,320
'an ill-conceived scheme
to build a zoo without bars...'
343
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:04,879
Oh, hey!
344
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:08,399
Noisy little herberts,
those two, aren't they?
345
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:10,679
- Is it just you?
- Yeah, everyone else is at the hearing
346
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:12,599
so they've left me in charge.
347
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:14,519
Blimey!
348
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:15,759
Hey, don't be like that!
349
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:18,279
I've got me list, I've got me overalls,
I've got me bucket.
350
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:19,520
I've got it all!
351
00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:26,199
You can help me if you like.
352
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:27,519
Really?
353
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:29,559
Yeah, I'll go and empty this,
354
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:31,080
you can worm Sidney.
355
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:34,119
The Women's Institute
356
00:24:34,120 --> 00:24:38,759
is committed to maintaining
a certain standard in rural life.
357
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:41,559
Upton is, and should remain,
358
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:46,519
a piece of pure English countryside,
which is good for the body and mind.
359
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:49,280
Thank you, Mrs Pollard.
360
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:55,279
I'm not averse to a zoo, just not in Upton.
361
00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:57,359
After all, what's a planning committee for
362
00:24:57,360 --> 00:25:00,239
if not to weed out unsuitable developments?
363
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:02,239
We had our say and he doesn't like it.
364
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:04,959
Well, that's being a bad loser in my book.
365
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:08,879
Mr Fenchwood,
as the Mottersheads' bank manager,
366
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:11,959
how would you best describe
their business dealings?
367
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:15,999
Are they prompt
with their monthly mortgage payments?
368
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:18,479
Not prompt, no...
369
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:21,119
but I get the money... eventually.
370
00:25:21,120 --> 00:25:25,359
And presumably you wouldn't trust them
with an overdraft facility?
371
00:25:25,360 --> 00:25:28,639
I'd trust them, but they'd be considered
a risk by the bank.
372
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:30,120
A risk?
373
00:25:33,360 --> 00:25:35,239
Are you sure?
374
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:36,919
That's what it says here.
375
00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:40,079
You can supposedly tell
by the bigger spikes round the cheeks.
376
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:41,479
So that means...
377
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:44,319
Queenie's not a queen, she's a king.
378
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:46,279
That must have been a shock for her!
379
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:47,879
How do you think they're getting on?
380
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:49,999
Oh!
381
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:52,999
- What's the matter?
- I forgot to feed the penguin!
382
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:56,079
Dr Ford, would it be fair to say
383
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:58,639
that you are predisposed to Chester Zoo,
384
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:00,559
to the Mottershead family, in fact?
385
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:03,559
I find George Mottershead
an impressive individual, yes.
386
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:06,959
Then why did you sign a petition
against the proposed development?
387
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:09,039
I was concerned.
388
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:12,840
Like your wife, perhaps,
for the safety of Upton's children?
389
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:15,120
No.
390
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:18,039
No?
391
00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:20,479
I'm reassured that the zoo
is perfectly safe.
392
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:23,760
There's no risk of infection
or further escapes.
393
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:26,200
Escapes?
394
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:29,719
Begging your pardon, Inspector,
395
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:33,479
but I believe a monkey got free
when the Mottersheads first arrived.
396
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:35,200
That's what my husband meant.
397
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:38,799
Is that right, Dr Ford?
398
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:41,120
Is it a monkey that you were referring to?
399
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:45,519
I... I would imagine...
400
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:47,679
May I remind you of the inspector's words?
401
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:51,520
You stand here on your honour
with many of your patients amongst us.
402
00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:54,959
A bear.
403
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:56,879
A male.
404
00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:57,999
It got loose.
405
00:26:58,000 --> 00:26:59,639
George was injured containing it,
406
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:02,799
but that's exactly what he did--
contain it and bring it home.
407
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:04,280
An escaped bear?!
408
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:07,439
Near a modest, defenceless village?!
409
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:09,839
No! He never got anywhere near Upton!
410
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:12,959
George had a gun and he would have used it.
411
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:14,479
My son loves these animals,
412
00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:16,759
but he'd do whatever it takes
to protect us all.
413
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:19,399
Quiet, let's have some order here.
414
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:22,319
It's my understanding that,
once its permanent housing is complete,
415
00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:24,920
- another escape would be impossible.
- That'll be all, Dr Ford.
416
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:31,560
I suggest we take a short recess for lunch.
417
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:40,919
It's not right,
picking people apart in there.
418
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:42,599
Barnaby's done nothing wrong.
419
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:46,440
Give up this ridiculous notion
of your husband's, and it'll be over.
420
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:51,479
You don't even trust George enough
to have him sit in there.
421
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:55,400
Lizzie, see sense. It isn't too late.
422
00:27:57,320 --> 00:27:58,879
Pardon me.
423
00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:00,759
Now what?
424
00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:03,799
Well, I was rather hoping
our only witness would show at some point.
425
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:04,920
Is she even coming?
426
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:09,479
I knew it! What have you done?
427
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:10,919
He won't take any food off me.
428
00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:12,279
Oh, Billy!
429
00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:13,799
Oh, what have you done to him?
430
00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:16,479
- Come on, you.
- Let's have a look at him.
431
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:17,880
Why are you not eating?
432
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:39,320
Huh?!
433
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:42,399
Where the hell have you been?
434
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:44,479
If you wanted to get me alone,
you only had to ask.
435
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:47,199
Your family are getting slaughtered
in there, do you know that?
436
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:50,079
Well, then, help us.
There must be something you can do.
437
00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:52,200
You know the council's case backwards.
438
00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:58,039
- The letter Lizzie and George wrote.
- What about it?
439
00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:00,839
It never even got read out
at the first planning meeting,
440
00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:03,279
not a word of it. I took
the minutes, I should know.
441
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:04,719
Now, if someone were to say...
442
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:06,559
If they ever traced it back to you...
443
00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:08,559
I thought you wanted my help, Billy.
444
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:11,560
If we don't do something,
George hasn't got a hope.
445
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:15,879
- We're going to be late!
- How's it all going in there?
446
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:18,919
They don't half speak fast. It's like
the Olympic Games of typing,
447
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:21,719
and that solicitor for the Mottersheads
talks ten to the dozen.
448
00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:24,440
- He's not bad looking, though!
- Solicitor?
449
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:29,840
I'll catch you up!
450
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:31,960
Dad?
451
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:40,079
I'm sorry that I asked you
to risk your job, Mew,
452
00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:41,599
that was unfair.
453
00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:47,999
Dad... they're about to get going again.
You should be in there.
454
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:50,079
No, I can't sit there
and watch it all slip away,
455
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:51,480
everything that we've built.
456
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:57,679
It really could have been something,
couldn't it?
457
00:29:57,680 --> 00:30:00,039
It still can be.
458
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:02,479
You just need to stop
feeling sorry for yourself,
459
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:05,679
stay calm and give it to them straight.
460
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:07,559
You're the reason we came here, Dad,
461
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:09,319
all of us.
462
00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:10,760
We followed you.
463
00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:23,560
I'm proud of you, Mew,
I hope you know that.
464
00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:44,560
- Am I glad to see you!
- I'm so nervous.
465
00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:54,360
She's here.
466
00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:57,320
George, too!
467
00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:01,160
Ah, here he is.
468
00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:06,200
Lady Katherine, I'd like
to call you up right away.
469
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:12,359
George, just sit, all right?
470
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:14,759
They're going to try their best
to try and provoke you,
471
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:16,279
so don't say a word.
472
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:17,400
All right.
473
00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:27,159
How are we doing?
474
00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:28,520
Not good.
475
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:32,520
Shall we resume?
476
00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:37,679
Lady Katherine, you reside
at Selborne Hall.
477
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:41,199
Now, that makes you Oakfield's
closest neighbour.
478
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:44,199
Is Lord Ainslie not concerned
479
00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:48,279
that the zoo will have an impact
on the value of his estate?
480
00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:50,079
You'd have to ask Lord Ainslie.
481
00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:52,159
I'm not here on his behalf,
482
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:55,279
but as a character witness
to the Mottershead family.
483
00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:56,759
Character!
484
00:31:56,760 --> 00:31:59,559
Something amusing, Councillor?
485
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:01,919
Well, only that it's well known
486
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:04,839
that you wouldn't be residing
at Selborne Hall at all
487
00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:10,999
if you hadn't shown a distinct
lack of moral character whilst abroad.
488
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:12,680
Isn't that right?
489
00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:15,520
Yes.
490
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:19,720
- I'm sorry?
- Yes.
491
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:25,000
I was foolish, and I returned
to this country as penance.
492
00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:29,559
Since being at Selborne Hall...
493
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:34,239
I've had the good fortune
to see what a true family is,
494
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:37,079
what it is to have children
who look up to you,
495
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:40,399
parents who would do anything for you,
496
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:42,800
and a spouse who makes you a better person.
497
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:49,159
I can't sing, Mr Tipping, or paint or cook,
498
00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:53,239
but I can recognise good music,
good art and good food
499
00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:55,279
without possessing any of those skills.
500
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:58,479
So why not moral character, too,
501
00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:00,959
despite allegedly having none myself,
502
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:02,680
as you so chivalrously put it?
503
00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:09,999
No further questions.
504
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:11,920
She's put us back in this!
505
00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:29,959
And yet, despite a clear financial gain
to your own business,
506
00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:33,599
you would still prefer Upton
not to have a zoo?
507
00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:38,479
I would. It's a terrible thing
for people of mixed types
508
00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:41,399
to enter the parish and destroy
the character of a place
509
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:44,240
simply to gratify commercial ambitions.
510
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:48,079
Thank you, Mrs Radler.
511
00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:49,800
No more questions, Mr Keene.
512
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:58,439
Mrs Radler, the petition
that went around Upton,
513
00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:00,319
was that your idea?
514
00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:02,639
These things don't organise themselves.
515
00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:07,919
And the lies contained within it,
did you organise those as well?
516
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:09,959
I don't know what you're talking about.
517
00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:13,079
Fabrications, economy of truth,
call it what you like.
518
00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:15,679
You spread falsehoods
about Chester Zoo, didn't you?
519
00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:18,199
Whipped up dissension.
520
00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:20,359
I'm a Christian, Mr Kelly.
521
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:23,199
I was raised, just as I raised my son,
522
00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:25,039
to believe that the truth beats all.
523
00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:26,879
And the truth is, this zoo is a mistake.
524
00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:28,079
So you're not a liar?
525
00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:29,719
No, I am not.
526
00:34:29,720 --> 00:34:31,320
Where's he going with this?
527
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:37,599
Mrs Radler, very little
has been made here today
528
00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:39,360
about Mr Mottershead's war service.
529
00:34:41,240 --> 00:34:44,239
Though I see you've just managed
to crowbar it in.
530
00:34:44,240 --> 00:34:46,119
He's decorated.
531
00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:47,359
A lot of men were.
532
00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:50,160
George Mottershead is a hero.
533
00:34:51,720 --> 00:34:54,160
- So was my husband.
- He died in battle?
534
00:34:56,240 --> 00:34:57,840
In the war, that's right.
535
00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:02,959
Sergeant Michael Radler,
536
00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:05,239
is that your husband?
537
00:35:05,240 --> 00:35:08,079
My husband was called Michael, yes.
538
00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:12,559
Sergeant Michael Radler
of the Cheshire Regiment, First Battalion.
539
00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:16,640
Shot as a deserter, January 1916.
540
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:25,160
What's a deserter? Shh!
541
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:30,119
I think we need to stop now.
542
00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:33,159
Is that your husband, Mrs Radler?
543
00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:34,399
Leave her alone.
544
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:35,720
Answer the question.
545
00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:42,240
Yes.
546
00:35:44,240 --> 00:35:45,799
So are there any other lies of yours
547
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:47,759
that we should know about
while we're at it?
548
00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:49,160
I said leave her alone!
549
00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:57,680
No further questions.
550
00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:20,399
Reverend, surely you don't mean to suggest
551
00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:23,919
that you alone represent
the residents of Upton?
552
00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:29,079
No more than you represent
the City of Liverpool, Mr Kelly.
553
00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:33,039
Have you had a chance to visit Upton...
554
00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:35,199
to see the proposed development?
555
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:37,799
No, though I'm well acquainted
with the plans for the zoo.
556
00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:39,599
No, but the village itself, Mr Kelly.
557
00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:42,639
It's a shame that you haven't made
the time because to see it
558
00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:46,240
is to understand Upton
as a true slice of Old World England.
559
00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:52,879
Charming cottages, free
from industrial disturbance.
560
00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:56,319
Oakfield House itself,
beautifully designed and built,
561
00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:59,519
and now being used
in the most perverse manner.
562
00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:03,400
And you have a prior association
with the house, I understand.
563
00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:07,679
My wife's family owned it once.
564
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:09,639
And now you consider George Mottershead
565
00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:14,880
an unfit occupant of such a house,
the wrong social class, perhaps?
566
00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:21,799
I minister to every walk of life, Mr Kelly.
567
00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:24,519
My argument isn't
with George Mottershead's class,
568
00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:26,879
it's with the content of his character.
569
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:29,439
He's negligent, as we've established.
570
00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:31,559
He cares for nobody but himself.
571
00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:33,439
A man like him will go to any lengths
572
00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:35,039
to satisfy his own appetites.
573
00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:38,400
He's dishonourable, dangerous,
devilish, if you will.
574
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:42,439
Just him...
575
00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:44,000
or the entire family?
576
00:37:50,720 --> 00:37:52,119
I'm sorry?
577
00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:55,879
Are they all dangerous,
all the Mottersheads?
578
00:37:55,880 --> 00:37:58,479
His wife, for instance,
579
00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:03,759
Elizabeth. Would you describe her
as a danger to Upton?
580
00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:05,319
No.
581
00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:07,479
But a poor mother, surely?
582
00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:10,680
Letting her children's welfare
be put at risk by Mr Mottershead.
583
00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:14,559
No, I would not describe her
as a poor mother.
584
00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:16,440
Then how would you describe her?
585
00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:24,080
She's a highly capable woman.
586
00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:28,319
A moderating force
in her husband's life, thank God,
587
00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:29,839
not that he appreciates it.
588
00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:34,200
Like most beautiful things, Oakfield House
included, she's wasted on him.
589
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:39,920
Wasted on him?
590
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:42,320
Is that right?
591
00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:48,039
Surely a woman so admired by you
could control her husband,
592
00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:51,480
work with him to create
a successful, safe zoo.
593
00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:55,400
Unless that's beyond her?
594
00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:00,560
If anyone could...
595
00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:06,440
that person would be Lizzie Mottershead.
596
00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:11,160
Thank you, Reverend Webb.
597
00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:14,160
No more questions, Inspector.
598
00:39:24,240 --> 00:39:27,439
Now he has finally graced us
with his presence,
599
00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:29,840
we would like to call George Mottershead.
600
00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:37,680
George, come here.
601
00:39:50,600 --> 00:39:53,319
All cities should have a zoo,
from an educational point of view.
602
00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:55,639
Children should be allowed
to see animals and birds
603
00:39:55,640 --> 00:39:59,679
in their natural states,
rather than stuffed in their skins.
604
00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:02,159
- Cities.
- Beg your pardon?
605
00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:04,359
You said cities should have a zoo.
606
00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:05,840
Upton isn't a city.
607
00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:10,959
Wouldn't it be better to do
this sort of thing municipally?
608
00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:13,279
In Liverpool, say?
609
00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:15,720
Yes, but they're not doing it.
610
00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:26,559
How much did Oakfield cost you?
611
00:40:26,560 --> 00:40:27,839
3,500 pounds.
612
00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:29,120
And the rates?
613
00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:32,040
Er...
614
00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:35,079
I'm not sure off the top of my head.
615
00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:39,839
47 pounds per half year,
heating and lighting are 90 pounds.
616
00:40:39,840 --> 00:40:42,399
Our total running costs,
with feed and upkeep,
617
00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:44,560
would be around 600 pounds a year.
618
00:40:45,560 --> 00:40:49,919
And those aren't figures you've just
plucked out of the sky, I suppose?
619
00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:53,679
I can vouch for the accuracy
of those figures.
620
00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:55,240
Thank you, Mr Fenchwood.
621
00:41:00,240 --> 00:41:06,279
Very well. How many visitors per year
do you need to make a profit?
622
00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:09,319
Or should I be asking your wife
that question as well?
623
00:41:09,320 --> 00:41:13,359
By all means. We'd give the same answer.
624
00:41:13,360 --> 00:41:14,879
100 people a day.
625
00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:17,719
What's to prevent them coming
in larger numbers?
626
00:41:17,720 --> 00:41:20,879
Well, if they come
in their hundreds and thousands,
627
00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:23,120
I'll just raise the entry fee.
628
00:41:28,720 --> 00:41:31,959
Can you tell me a little more
about the bear that attacked you?
629
00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:35,039
That's too strong a word there, Mr Tipping.
630
00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:37,839
It was defending itself, it was cornered.
631
00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:40,799
Normally black Himalayan bears
are docile creatures,
632
00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:42,640
milder than Alsatian dogs.
633
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:51,079
And have you any intention
of keeping any more dangerous animals?
634
00:41:51,080 --> 00:41:52,920
Lions? Tigers?
635
00:41:55,640 --> 00:41:58,319
What is that infernal racket?!
636
00:41:58,320 --> 00:42:02,119
Oh, pipe down! We've listened to you
squawking away all day,
637
00:42:02,120 --> 00:42:03,439
what's the difference?
638
00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:07,119
- Please, I really must insist...
- I'm sorry about the disturbance, I am,
639
00:42:07,120 --> 00:42:11,799
but these animals don't give
a damn about bureaucracy.
640
00:42:11,800 --> 00:42:15,999
They want shelter, a home,
people who love them,
641
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:18,279
like George does.
642
00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:21,359
Like our whole family does...
643
00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:23,000
Your Honour.
644
00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:30,439
Mr Mottershead, would you kindly
control your... extended family
645
00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:32,839
and answer the questions, please?
646
00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:35,680
Do you intend to keep
any more dangerous animals?
647
00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:39,999
Well, it's difficult to define
dangerous animals, you see.
648
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:44,840
Well, man-eaters, predators!
What's so hard about that?!
649
00:42:49,240 --> 00:42:50,960
Mr Mottershead, I'm waiting.
650
00:42:58,720 --> 00:43:00,240
You have my word.
651
00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:03,640
No more dangerous animals at Oakfield.
652
00:43:04,600 --> 00:43:07,319
That's just as well,
considering you can't control
653
00:43:07,320 --> 00:43:08,879
the ones you've already got.
654
00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:11,879
You recently lost
an entire aviary of birds,
655
00:43:11,880 --> 00:43:13,359
if my information is correct.
656
00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:15,679
Well, it's not correct.
It's not even bloody close!
657
00:43:15,680 --> 00:43:20,119
Somebody cut those nets,
somebody sat here in this room right now!
658
00:43:20,120 --> 00:43:21,679
And there we have it!
659
00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:25,399
George Mottershead lashing out!
660
00:43:25,400 --> 00:43:29,520
The contempt of this man
for the people of Upton is staggering!
661
00:43:31,360 --> 00:43:33,359
I put it to you that you don't care
662
00:43:33,360 --> 00:43:35,639
about the safety
of this community one iota,
663
00:43:35,640 --> 00:43:38,039
and despite having an ample opportunity
664
00:43:38,040 --> 00:43:40,479
to state your case in a fair manner...
665
00:43:40,480 --> 00:43:43,399
- Oh, you've been fair, have you, Mr Tipping?
- Impeccably so.
666
00:43:43,400 --> 00:43:45,559
Then you'll remember the letter
that we wrote
667
00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:47,239
stating our plans for the zoo,
668
00:43:47,240 --> 00:43:51,799
which was submitted in time
for that first planning meeting.
669
00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:53,119
I never saw such a letter.
670
00:43:53,120 --> 00:43:54,159
Really?
671
00:43:54,160 --> 00:43:57,639
Because I have it on good authority
that its existence was recorded
672
00:43:57,640 --> 00:44:01,200
in the minutes of that meeting,
which are on file in your office.
673
00:44:03,280 --> 00:44:06,960
It also says that it was your decision
not to read it out.
674
00:44:12,320 --> 00:44:15,959
Now, if that letter had been
read out as intended,
675
00:44:15,960 --> 00:44:17,839
it would have set out how this zoo
676
00:44:17,840 --> 00:44:20,719
will be a way of appreciating
the world around us,
677
00:44:20,720 --> 00:44:25,519
from a baby penguin
to a 100-year-old tortoise,
678
00:44:25,520 --> 00:44:28,799
a place where all our families,
mine included,
679
00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:31,680
can be in touching distance
of something magical.
680
00:44:32,720 --> 00:44:36,959
Now, as for having nothing
but contempt for Upton,
681
00:44:36,960 --> 00:44:41,679
then, yes, I have at times
fallen into that trap,
682
00:44:41,680 --> 00:44:43,320
but that's not how I feel now.
683
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:49,639
I don't blame any of you for protecting
what you love. I can't.
684
00:44:49,640 --> 00:44:52,200
It's exactly what I'm trying
to do right now.
685
00:44:53,600 --> 00:44:59,279
Now, we've all said and done things
we don't mean, myself included,
686
00:44:59,280 --> 00:45:01,199
and we don't always see eye-to-eye,
687
00:45:01,200 --> 00:45:04,240
but I believe we could live side-by-side.
688
00:45:06,520 --> 00:45:08,000
I really do.
689
00:45:11,400 --> 00:45:12,440
Mr Kelly?
690
00:45:14,240 --> 00:45:15,360
No questions.
691
00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:26,399
Having heard confused accounts
from both sides,
692
00:45:26,400 --> 00:45:28,959
conjecture, ill feeling...
693
00:45:28,960 --> 00:45:32,319
it's abundantly clear
that no decision can be reached
694
00:45:32,320 --> 00:45:37,119
until there is an inspection
of the proposed development.
695
00:45:37,120 --> 00:45:39,719
We'll therefore adjourn until tomorrow,
696
00:45:39,720 --> 00:45:42,839
when I propose an open inspection
of Chester Zoo.
697
00:45:42,840 --> 00:45:45,359
The community is, of course, invited.
698
00:45:45,360 --> 00:45:48,399
8.00am, Oakfield House.
699
00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:50,040
Thank you, gentlemen.
700
00:45:55,560 --> 00:45:59,199
That meeting was confidential.
You told them, didn't you?
701
00:45:59,200 --> 00:46:02,360
- I felt it was the right thing to do.
- You're dismissed.
702
00:46:03,880 --> 00:46:05,439
Please. I didn't mean...
703
00:46:05,440 --> 00:46:08,240
You've made your bed, my girl,
now lie in it.
704
00:46:13,760 --> 00:46:15,440
- Go on, she needs you. Go on!
- Yeah.
705
00:46:27,920 --> 00:46:30,560
Come here.
706
00:46:41,120 --> 00:46:43,999
- Is it finished?
- It is.
707
00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:46,959
Funny, you know he'd almost won
them round by the end.
708
00:46:46,960 --> 00:46:48,360
Who?
709
00:46:50,200 --> 00:46:51,480
Mew's dad.
710
00:46:53,280 --> 00:46:54,920
I'm right, aren't I?
711
00:46:56,360 --> 00:46:58,519
Yes.
712
00:46:58,520 --> 00:47:00,440
Well, your secret's safe with us.
713
00:47:13,200 --> 00:47:14,560
Here we go.
714
00:47:29,920 --> 00:47:31,640
Ready for us, Mr Mottershead?
715
00:48:05,320 --> 00:48:09,319
Right, so we're all agreed
not to crowd him or pester him,
716
00:48:09,320 --> 00:48:12,359
just let the zoo do the talking for itself.
717
00:48:12,360 --> 00:48:15,719
Whatever happens now,
your brother would have been proud of you.
718
00:48:15,720 --> 00:48:17,000
I hope you know that.
719
00:48:22,760 --> 00:48:24,159
Here, where are you going?
720
00:48:24,160 --> 00:48:26,080
Just going to have a quick listen.
721
00:48:31,680 --> 00:48:33,759
Of course, they thought I was mad,
722
00:48:33,760 --> 00:48:36,199
but I knew straightaway she was pregnant.
723
00:48:36,200 --> 00:48:39,519
They're beautiful, aren't they?
724
00:48:39,520 --> 00:48:42,680
That one's Gilbert and that one's Sullivan.
725
00:49:16,240 --> 00:49:17,560
Go on.
726
00:49:19,840 --> 00:49:24,519
Hello. Was this the chap
making all the fuss at the hearing?
727
00:49:24,520 --> 00:49:28,639
He's stronger now.
You can feed him if you like.
728
00:49:28,640 --> 00:49:30,880
No, no. Thank you.
729
00:49:40,640 --> 00:49:42,279
It was my favourite exhibit, that.
730
00:49:42,280 --> 00:49:43,639
What was it?
731
00:49:43,640 --> 00:49:46,720
An aviary. I wish
you could have seen it before.
732
00:49:52,040 --> 00:49:53,360
Thank you.
733
00:49:55,440 --> 00:49:57,199
I didn't realise you were coming.
734
00:49:57,200 --> 00:49:58,999
I thought it was time I saw it for myself.
735
00:49:59,000 --> 00:50:01,559
And my boy was keen, so...
736
00:50:01,560 --> 00:50:03,040
What did you think?
737
00:50:04,240 --> 00:50:06,519
I think you've built
what you said you would.
738
00:50:06,520 --> 00:50:09,839
And if the Ministry gives you approval,
739
00:50:09,840 --> 00:50:11,159
I'll do my best to make sure
740
00:50:11,160 --> 00:50:14,119
- you get some sort of overdraft to see you through.
- Thank you.
741
00:50:14,120 --> 00:50:16,239
Only if they give you approval, mind.
742
00:50:16,240 --> 00:50:18,079
Hello, Mr Keene. Everything all right?
743
00:50:18,080 --> 00:50:20,279
- You saw all the animals and that?
- I did indeed
744
00:50:20,280 --> 00:50:23,879
and that concludes the inspection side
of things, Mr Mottershead.
745
00:50:23,880 --> 00:50:26,799
- And what's the verdict?
- I'll inform you in due course.
746
00:50:26,800 --> 00:50:28,279
What do you mean?
747
00:50:28,280 --> 00:50:32,279
I'll need to get back to London,
review my notes and the testimony.
748
00:50:32,280 --> 00:50:35,239
Well, listen, you've got
to give me a clue, please.
749
00:50:35,240 --> 00:50:37,679
Just tip me the wink,
750
00:50:37,680 --> 00:50:39,919
- anything.
- I can't, I'm afraid.
751
00:50:39,920 --> 00:50:41,239
Why not?
752
00:50:41,240 --> 00:50:44,039
Because... my mind is not made up.
753
00:50:44,040 --> 00:50:46,719
Then tell me, what can I do, please?
754
00:50:46,720 --> 00:50:49,519
I meant every word I said in that hearing -
755
00:50:49,520 --> 00:50:51,319
no more dangerous animals.
756
00:50:51,320 --> 00:50:52,640
What else can I say?
757
00:50:54,040 --> 00:50:56,920
Nothing. You've done everything you can.
758
00:51:25,480 --> 00:51:26,959
It's quiet in here.
759
00:51:26,960 --> 00:51:28,560
It's been like that all day.
760
00:51:31,160 --> 00:51:32,560
Is your mum all right?
761
00:51:35,400 --> 00:51:36,680
Are YOU all right?
762
00:51:41,080 --> 00:51:44,319
My whole life she's been... lying to me.
763
00:51:44,320 --> 00:51:47,039
She must have had her reasons,
764
00:51:47,040 --> 00:51:49,240
trying to protect you, I bet.
765
00:51:50,640 --> 00:51:52,959
She loves you, Archie,
766
00:51:52,960 --> 00:51:54,440
and she needs you now.
767
00:51:56,080 --> 00:51:58,160
Family comes first, right?
768
00:52:00,640 --> 00:52:02,080
- Right.
- On account, is it?
769
00:52:03,200 --> 00:52:05,080
Cash. I've just been paid.
770
00:52:06,240 --> 00:52:09,200
- It's all right, Mum, I've got it.
- Nonsense, I can do it.
771
00:52:56,080 --> 00:52:57,440
Sorry I'm late.
772
00:53:00,040 --> 00:53:03,039
In due course? What does that even mean?
773
00:53:03,040 --> 00:53:05,800
When they're good and ready,
and not before, I suppose.
774
00:53:17,680 --> 00:53:19,080
There you go, love.
775
00:53:30,840 --> 00:53:32,920
- Anything?
- Not yet.
776
00:53:51,680 --> 00:53:53,960
We'll maybe hear something tomorrow?
777
00:54:02,040 --> 00:54:03,840
I just found something in my garden.
778
00:54:05,600 --> 00:54:07,720
Took me ages to get them to trust me.
779
00:54:21,400 --> 00:54:23,879
Grandad, come and see! They're back!
780
00:54:23,880 --> 00:54:25,760
The lovebirds! Two of them!
781
00:54:31,560 --> 00:54:33,920
- The Blood of Christ...
- Amen.
782
00:54:58,280 --> 00:54:59,799
Oh, come on!
783
00:54:59,800 --> 00:55:01,640
All right, all right!
784
00:55:15,520 --> 00:55:17,039
Lizzie!
785
00:55:17,040 --> 00:55:18,879
Lizzie, we've done it!
786
00:55:18,880 --> 00:55:21,520
We've gone and bloody done it!
787
00:55:34,720 --> 00:55:36,320
What's all this, then?
788
00:55:43,080 --> 00:55:44,640
What do you think, love?
789
00:55:49,880 --> 00:55:51,839
'Chester Zoo is official
790
00:55:51,840 --> 00:55:55,199
'and we have a letter
from His Majesty's Government to prove it.
791
00:55:55,200 --> 00:55:56,999
'But there's still plenty to do
792
00:55:57,000 --> 00:55:59,280
'before we welcome our first visitors.
793
00:56:00,840 --> 00:56:04,000
'We don't have as many exotic species
as Dad promised...'
794
00:56:05,240 --> 00:56:08,919
'but he told the minister
no more dangerous animals
795
00:56:08,920 --> 00:56:11,520
'and he could hardly break his word
just for me.'
