1
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:07,235
What?
2
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:09,875
What?
3
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:15,950
My God, where are we?
4
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:19,277
Soon be home now, Mr Meldrew
5
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:23,989
We were a while getting out of the airport,
I'm afraid,
6
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:27,038
and coming through London,
I took a bit of a wrong turning
7
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:30,951
and we got caught up in a Nazi rally in Deptford
8
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:34,794
It was only by telling them you were a skinhead,
we got out alive
9
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:39,835
I don't know You could write a book, couldn't you?
10
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:43,318
What can I smell in here? Is it a dog?
11
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:47,194
Ah, that'll be Trixie's sack that she sits on
12
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:51,637
There shouldn't be any fleas on it now
I had it deloused just a month ago
13
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,359
Oh, talking of dogs,
14
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:57,352
you know old Mr Burkitt died the other week?
15
00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:02,798
I don't know if I mentioned, his wife's looking
for a home for that little cocker spaniel they had
16
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:04,996
She was wondering
if perhaps you might be interested?
17
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:08,914
I don't think so, Mrs Warboys Thank you
18
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:11,794
How's the travel sickness now, by the way?
19
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:13,871
I haven't heard you retch since Basildon
20
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:17,316
-Best not to remind him of it, I think, Jean
-Oh, yeah
21
00:02:17,920 --> 00:02:22,914
I remember on my flight to Los Angeles,
the man next to me,
22
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:27,517
everything he'd had for dinner,
the enchiladas and the refried beans
23
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:32,516
I mean, those sick bags
are never watertight at the best of times
24
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:34,832
Right, stop the car
25
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,109
Would you pull over? Now, please
26
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:51,679
Still, nice to get a little break for a change
27
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:53,716
Recharge your batteries
28
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:56,112
Yes
29
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:59,749
I don't think we'll be booking any more
long weekends to Hamburg in a hurry
30
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:04,836
What with Victor wandering into that brothel
to post a German sausage to his brother
31
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,958
That didn't do his hernia any good, believe me
32
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:11,398
Oh, yes, when's he having it looked at?
33
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:13,914
Tomorrow morning, his next appointment
34
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:18,473
Looks as if they'll have to operate,
which is another thing that's worrying him silly
35
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,193
All out now, Mr Meldrew?
36
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,040
Can we not talk about it, please?
37
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:37,551
Just drive
38
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,070
(GLASS BREAKING)
39
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,633
Right, everyone I'm afraid time's getting on
40
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,234
Let's have a look at how we're all doing
41
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:33,794
And I know, because Chris had it done
a few years ago
42
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:35,952
Nowadays, Mr Meldrew,
43
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:40,511
a hernia repair's
one of the simplest operations there is
44
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:42,192
The only worry is
45
00:04:42,280 --> 00:04:45,670
if they have to take one of your
testicles away at the same time
46
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:49,518
Is that a fact?
47
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:51,996
Which is quite common, apparently
48
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:56,069
But then, you can always have
an artificial one put in
49
00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:59,117
When I was in Los Angeles,
50
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:04,149
there was a clinic in Beverly Hills
advertising them in the supermarkets
51
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:06,959
$65 each, plus tax
52
00:05:07,840 --> 00:05:10,479
Or three for $1 50
53
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:14,671
Yes, well, I'll just
54
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:18,473
Three?
55
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:23,318
Anyway, I'd better love you and leave you
You'll want to get settled in
56
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:28,518
-I expect you'll both be ready for an early night
-Yes
57
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,751
We'll be fine now, Jean, if you want to get along
58
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:35,475
JEAN: I'll see you tomorrow, about 1 2:00
MARGARET: Yes, right Bye
59
00:05:43,280 --> 00:05:44,554
(EXCLAIMING)
60
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:48,276
I thought you were going
to empty this before we left
61
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:52,000
Yeah, that's all right
62
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:55,390
I'll just lug this upstairs on my own
63
00:05:57,560 --> 00:05:58,913
Sorry?
64
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:03,994
You know I can't risk it, Margaret
It would be asking for trouble now, wouldn't it?
65
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:06,233
(KNOCKING)
66
00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:01,474
It was decent of her to pick us up,
I'm not denying
67
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:04,950
But one more minute of her bloody
Los Angeles holiday
68
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:08,358
If it was so wonderful, why didn't she stay there?
69
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,916
-There's a man living in our shed
-What?
70
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:17,757
He just walked in here, as merry as you could
please, and filled up a bottle of orange squash
71
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:19,835
What?
72
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:35,434
What are you doing?
Don't stand there waving at him
73
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:37,238
Go down there and tell him to get out
74
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:38,753
(VICTOR STAMMERING)
75
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:42,517
I suppose Unless you want to tell him
76
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:47,798
How can I go down there? And get
a garden fork in the ribs if he turns nasty?
77
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:49,673
I suppose not
78
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:52,915
Right
79
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:06,194
-A garden fork in the ribs?
-Just tell him to leave
80
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:14,874
(PHONE RINGING)
81
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:21,315
4291
82
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:24,312
Oh, hello
83
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:28,276
Yes, safe and sound, more or less
84
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:29,994
How are you getting on?
85
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:33,550
Oh, still lurching from one crisis to the next
86
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:38,751
We've got lunch tomorrow with Patrick's new boss,
which is a bit hair-raising
87
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:41,678
We don't even know
if she's gonna keep him on yet
88
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:44,149
Well, he's hasn't been with the firm five minutes
89
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:48,230
No, at her place, up Raven's Hill,
90
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:50,595
which makes it even more of an ordeal
91
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:52,155
I know
92
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:57,158
Anyway, just wanted to check,
we're still on for Thursday night
93
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:07,871
Well, any time you like
94
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:11,037
About 7:30 and eat at 8:00?
95
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:15,595
Just when I thought we'd moved
to a Meldrew-free zone
96
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:18,630
That's great then, Margaret
97
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:22,669
-Look forward to it
-Yes, see you then, Pippa Bye
98
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:33,839
-What the hell's going on now?
-I'm taking him some biscuits
99
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:37,235
You're what?
100
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:39,197
He says he hasn't eaten for three days
101
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:42,238
since they turfed him out of his cardboard box
under the railway bridge
102
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,117
What am I supposed to do?
103
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:46,555
Poor bloke's got nowhere
104
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:52,191
It'll be dark soon I said he could stay there
at least until the morning
105
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:54,271
Stay there till the morn
106
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:57,038
He's not having my Boasters
107
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,390
And first thing tomorrow, he's out
108
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:04,438
And make sure he understands
or I'm calling the police
109
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:08,672
Leave it alone
110
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:13,909
If you stand there kneading it
like a lump of puff pastry, you'll make it worse
111
00:11:14,680 --> 00:11:17,956
It's gone down slightly,
maybe I should cancel the appointment
112
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:21,954
What does she want to go
and tell me that for anyway?
113
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:25,999
-Something else I've got to worry about now
-What are you on about? It's engaged
114
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:29,038
I mean, we don't know, do we,
what these surgeons are playing at
115
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:30,758
when they take your bits off
116
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:34,991
Might just want them for conker practice
117
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:36,911
We've got no way of telling
118
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:40,595
Don't forget, you're gonna take the car in
for its MOT on the way back
119
00:11:40,680 --> 00:11:42,193
You got everything to take?
120
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:43,952
Filled your bottle up, nice and full?
121
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:46,679
Yes, I have
122
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:50,839
I've got enough of my specimens up there now
to irrigate the Gobi Desert
123
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,677
I'll qualify for my own sign on the gate,
before long
124
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:58,035
To Victor Meldrew's Urine Bank
125
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:02,471
Second in size only to the Staines Reservoir
126
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:09,437
Oh, I do not believe it
127
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:12,993
-I do not Have you seen this?
-Seen what?
128
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:15,753
These applications to apply for
an American Express card
129
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:17,398
we get every couple of months
130
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:19,630
They've only sent us three this time
131
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:23,794
Look ''Victor Meldrew'', ''Margaret Meldrew''
132
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:25,393
and ''The Man in the Shed''
133
00:12:31,560 --> 00:12:33,551
Don't be utterly ridiculous

I'm not being It's here in black and white Look

''The Man in the Shed, 1 9 Riverbank''
136
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:44,790
Been there for three days and
he's getting bloody junk mail
137
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:48,389
I mean, how do they get hold of these things?
138
00:12:48,560 --> 00:12:50,915
Simply beggars belief
139
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,309
As if the poor bloke
hasn't got enough on his plate
140
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:57,552
Oh, yes If it was up to you,
he would stay there as long as he liked
141
00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:01,030
I don't suppose he chose
to live on the streets, Margaret
142
00:13:01,680 --> 00:13:06,071
In there, clipping his toenails with our secateurs
when I looked just now
143
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:09,393
You give people like that an inch,
and they'll take a mile
144
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:12,677
Well, I'm getting it sorted out today,
once and for all
145
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:17,151
And you're going to be late if you don't hurry up,
so, skedaddle and I'll see you later
146
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:19,674
Right, see you then Bye
147
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:24,837
For goodness' sake, if she starts fondling
your bottom again, just grin and bear it
148
00:13:27,680 --> 00:13:30,831
You know what I mean
You know, just turn the other cheek
149
00:13:32,560 --> 00:13:35,757
There'll be plenty of time to file
for sexual harassment
150
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:37,717
once she's renewed your contract
151
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:42,399
Yes, well, I'll bear that in mind
as I'm discussing corporate restructuring
152
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:43,833
with her tongue up my nose
153
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:05,473
Morning, Mr and Mrs Trench to see
Fenella Fortune
154
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:08,400
Oh, right Just a tick
155
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:17,916
I'm Mrs Blanchard, the housekeeper
156
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:20,634
-How do you do? I think we may be a bit Ow!
-Oh, sorry
157
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:22,551
I've just been doing the roses
My hands are all thorns

(WIND CHIMES TINKLING)
159
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:30,916
If you want to come around the back,
she's in the summer house
160
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:55,915
Patrick, thanks for coming
And Pippa, how are you? I'll be two seconds
161
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:03,958
We'll eat at 1 :30, Mrs Blanchard,
if that's all right?
162
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:09,034
And if you could see to some more logs
for the fire for tonight, when you have a moment
163
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:12,197
-Lovely summer house
-Isn't it a dream?
164
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:16,469
They only finished building it two weeks ago
Now I practically live in here
165
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:22,355
Now, what I thought we'd do, Pippa,
if you could do me the most enormous favour,
166
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:24,908
take Uncle Louis out for a breath of fresh air
167
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:28,913
Patrick and I can get all our boring business over
and then we'll have lunch
168
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:31,673

00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:39,232
at Pantages Theatre on Hollywood Boulevard,
and lost all track of time
340
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:41,995
Good morning, Mr Meldrew You well?
341
00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:45,751
-I'll just set him down here
-Oh, right Oh, hang on
342
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:49,753
I think I left the back door open
Just in case he makes a bolt for it
343
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:51,268
There we are
344
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:55,951
Where would you like me to put him?
345
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:14,917
Tell me this is just a joke
346
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:18,199
Sorry, Mr Meldrew?
347
00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:20,596
What the bloody hell's this?
348
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:25,669
It's Mr Burkitt's dog, Nippy
349
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:27,235
Nippy?
350
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:31,679
Doesn't look very nippy from where I'm standing
351
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:39,151
-You never said it was stuffed
-Didn't I?
352
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:42,199
-No, you did not
-Are you sure?
353
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:45,551
I think I'd have remembered
354
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:50,192
Why would you want a dead dog
that hadn't been stuffed?
355
00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:54,273
It would look awful
356
00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:58,070
I don't want a dead dog
357
00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:01,118
Why in the name of all that's holy
would I want a dead dog?
358
00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:05,196
So I can throw it across the room on elastic
and shout, ''Here, boy!''?
359
00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:11,629
I just spent a £1 30 building a kennel out there
360
00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:16,630
Why didn't you tell me it was dead?
361
00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:19,990
I thought everyone knew about Nippy
362
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:23,875
He was Mr Burkitt's pride and joy,
363
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:26,315
and when he died,
he couldn't bear to part with him
364
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:27,913
so he had him mounted
365
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:31,788
-Everyone in the street knew that
-Well, I didn't
366
00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:34,509
Well, I'm sorry
367
00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:39,316
-I'm not psychic, am I?
-Don't bring me into the discussion
368
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:47,114
So, that's it, then
369
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:49,350
How am I supposed to take it for walks?
370
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:52,075
Nail him to a skateboard?
371
00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:57,397
I've never heard of anything so unutterably stupid
372
00:31:57,480 --> 00:31:59,072
I can't Oh, God
373
00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:02,158
-Mr Swainey, what is it?
-It's Mother She's gone
374
00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:05,038
-Gone where?
-In the middle of the night, just vanished
375
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:07,908
And something else that's weird Oh, I don't know
376
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:10,639
-What?
-On the front lawn,
377
00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:13,439
these strange scorch marks
378
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:46,915
Oh, dear, dear, dear, dear
379
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:52,075
MARGARET: Oh, God!
380
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:55,113
What a nightmare
381
00:32:55,200 --> 00:33:00,149
There's no sign of her in the streets or anywhere
round here We must have walked miles
382
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:05,751
And then, when we got to the police station,
there was only one desk sergeant on duty
383
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:08,991
We had to wait three hours to see someone
384
00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:11,509
And the traffic coming back
385
00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:15,149
Poor man's out of his mind
with worry, as you can imagine,
386
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:19,518
and we're going to be late for Patrick and Pippa's,
and I'll just have to go as I am
387
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:21,636
Yes, I was just about to leave without you
388
00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:24,237
(CHUCKLING) Dear, oh, dear
389
00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:27,312
Another collection of oddities
390
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:31,632
Can you believe someone posted
a glass eye through the door earlier on?
391
00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:34,879
You never know what's going to come next
392
00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:39,349
You had a good day, then?
Doing that woman's garden?
393
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:43,399
Bit of good fresh country air, Margaret
I feel ready for anything
394
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:45,551
Well, I look a wreck
395
00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:48,433
You've never looked lovelier
396
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:54,273
Now, chop, chop
397
00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:58,148
We mustn't keep them waiting, I'll get the wine
398
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:01,991
Oh, God!
399
00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:04,036
Look, it's 7:30!
400
00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:06,270
That's when we said we'd be there
401
00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:08,396
Where Where are my other shoes?
402
00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:14,112
Talk about your whole life flashing before you
403
00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:17,799
I suppose it was too much to hope
I'd seen the last of this place
404
00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:21,477
The house of hell
405
00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:26,353
Will you try and make the effort?
Just for one evening?
406
00:34:27,240 --> 00:34:30,915
Stop being so negative about them all the time
It's getting right on my wick
407
00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:44,074
Well, go on Ring the bell
408
00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:50,673
MARGARET: Oh, who the bloody hell is that?
409
00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:04,550
Margaret, we'renot too early, I hope?
410
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:12,469
Oh, God How did we get this wrong?
411
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:15,309
For goodness' sake, go in there and talk to them
412
00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:19,837
I will in just a tick when I've got this open
Everything's under control
413
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:31,838
Well, nice to see they've made the effort
414
00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:35,679
As always
415
00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:41,039
I'd imagine Salvador Dali feeling
at home in this house
416
00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:46,150
That stuffed dog with a truss over its head
in the downstairs toilet, for example,
417
00:35:46,240 --> 00:35:48,959
I think he'd find particularly restful
418
00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:57,910
Now, what do you suppose I'd find
if I opened this ring box?
419
00:35:58,400 --> 00:35:59,879
A ring?
420
00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:07,992
Not even warm
421
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:16,436
(LAUGHING) It's all a bit topsy-turvy,
I'm afraid, tonight
422
00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:19,956
Margaret's been out for most of the day
with Mr Swainey from next door
423
00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:21,712
whose mother's gone missing, I'm afraid
424
00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:24,030
Oh, dear Poor soul
425
00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:26,959
So, it's all been a bit of a rush But not to worry
426
00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:30,271
We'll just have a nice wee drink now,
and catch up on things
427
00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:33,511
And, oh, incidentally,
thanks very much for the other day
428
00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:36,319
recommending me for that gardening job
429
00:36:36,720 --> 00:36:38,790
It's worked out rather well, actually
430
00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:41,553
I was over today making a start and things
431
00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:46,191
and she's asked me if I can pop back tomorrow,
and maybe have a go at some of the other
432
00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:48,510
(DISHES BANGING)
433
00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:52,115
-MARGARET: Victor!
-I'll be back in a second
434
00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:57,478
I couldn't help it It just slipped out
435
00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:00,839
When she rang up last week to confirm that lunch,
436
00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:05,596
we got chatting and she said
could I recommend someone suitable
437
00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:10,870
Someone who is retired maybe,
who could do with a little part-time job
438
00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:13,554
And you suggested Victor Meldrew?
439
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:19,078
You heard what he said
It's all working out really well
440
00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:21,676
For goodness' sake, stop worrying
441
00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:23,639
Nothing's going to happen
Victor
442
00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:42,633
Victor?
443
00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:47,239
Victor?
444
00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:00,559
Victor?
445
00:38:02,120 --> 00:38:03,314
Victor?
446
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:18,989
(DOOR OPENING)
447
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:23,148
Victor?
448
00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:26,556
Where the hell have you been to?
449
00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:28,549
Hmm?
450
00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:30,551
It's 20 past three
451
00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:34,799
Can't quite remember where I have been
452
00:38:35,720 --> 00:38:37,119
Here and there
453
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:40,476
Couldn't get to sleep for some reason,
I just kept lying there wide awake,
454
00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:42,232
so I thought I'd go for a walk
455
00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:48,829
Beautiful night out there, Margaret
I've never seen the stars so bright
456
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:54,473
I'm feeling a little bit drowsy now, though
457
00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:59,111
I suppose I ought to get a couple of hours in
Another long day ahead of me
458
00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:01,752
Want to be at my best
459
00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:20,391
Well, you don't have to make
a special effort, Jean But if you
460
00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:21,469
(DOOR CLOSING)
461
00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:23,997
Right No, no
462
00:39:24,080 --> 00:39:27,311
That's fine I look forward to it Bye
463
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:31,159
I wouldn't hurry back tonight, if I were you
464
00:39:31,240 --> 00:39:35,711
She's bringing her Hollywood slides over
at lunch time, all 360 of them
465
00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:40,435
Oh, that's a shame I'd liked to have seen those
466
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:45,390
Look at that Amazing
467
00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:48,677
The suction power of this snail
468
00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:52,073
I bet if I took my hand away
469
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:55,752
Oopsy-daisy
470
00:39:57,720 --> 00:39:58,709
(SHRIEKING) Leave it!
471
00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:03,469
Please, just go, if you're going
472
00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:06,518
Sorry about that
473
00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:09,795
-Bye, then
-Bye
474
00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:19,149
(KNOCKING)
475
00:40:19,240 --> 00:40:20,832
-Come in
-NICK: Mrs Meldrew
476
00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:24,435
Mind your feet Glass everywhere
477
00:40:24,720 --> 00:40:26,312
How are you today?
478
00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:29,837
-Still no news, presumably
-Yeah, that's just it She's back
479
00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:31,319
I came down this morning and there she was,
480
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:34,358
sitting at the kitchen table,
sipping a cup of tea, large as life
481
00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:35,839
What?
482
00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:39,549
-Did she say where she'd been?
-Jupiter
483
00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:41,995
Well, to be accurate,
one of its 1 2 moons, Ganymede
484
00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:45,356
Said she liked it up there so much,
she decided to stay on for a day
485
00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:48,750
I mean, it's part of the condition,
they just go wandering off
486
00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:53,675
I suppose we'll never know where she really
did get to, but the main thing is, she's back
487
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:57,150
-You all right this morning?
-Oh
488
00:40:58,320 --> 00:41:02,359
I don't know what to think about
anything any more, Mr Swainey
489
00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:06,436
All this business with your mother and now
490
00:41:07,720 --> 00:41:11,759
-Victor's been acting in a very odd way
-How do you mean odd?
491
00:41:11,880 --> 00:41:14,519
I don't know how to describe it
492
00:41:15,400 --> 00:41:17,197
-Cheerful
-Oh, crikey
493
00:41:18,560 --> 00:41:22,792
I don't know
He seems to have more life, more energy
494
00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:26,077
And something you said about a glow to his face
495
00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:27,754
(STAMMERING)
496
00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:30,669
I just keep thinking about
497
00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:35,637
that film where all the old people
got younger when
498
00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:40,393
I know, I'm just being barmy, but
499
00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:46,916
Last night, there was this light
outside the window
500
00:41:48,440 --> 00:41:51,034
And those scorch marks on your grass
501
00:41:52,240 --> 00:41:55,277
Something very strange is happening
502
00:41:56,320 --> 00:41:58,880
I just wish I could get to the bottom of it
503
00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:07,669
Sorry Really sorry about the time
504
00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:09,591
There was a flock of sheep crossing the road
505
00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:11,830
just as you come into the village,
up there by the bend
506
00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:16,471
-It took forever to get the
-No problem Let's try harder next time, okay?
507
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:19,560
-Right
-Everyone else is here
508
00:42:19,640 --> 00:42:22,712

That's the trouble with those things, you know
682
00:55:49,840 --> 00:55:52,991
Every time a cat or a dog walks across,
it just sets them off
683
00:55:53,760 --> 00:55:56,513
Still, with crime the way it is
684
00:56:02,960 --> 00:56:06,270
I wonder where she really did get to, next door
685
00:56:07,640 --> 00:56:10,108
All that time yesterday
686
00:56:12,280 --> 00:56:15,272
Awful to think she'll never be able to tell us
687
00:56:17,840 --> 00:56:19,990
You think we'll get like that one day?
688
00:56:20,200 --> 00:56:23,476
Yes And the sooner the better
689
00:56:24,640 --> 00:56:30,033
What's the point of being sane
when the entire world's completely mad?
690
00:56:30,800 --> 00:56:33,633
What you don't know anything about
can't worry you
691
00:56:33,720 --> 00:56:37,076
Now, can you put the light out, please?
It's hurting my eyes
692
00:56:37,160 --> 00:56:38,559
Oh, sorry
693
00:56:39,280 --> 00:56:40,554
Bit better?
694
00:56:41,800 --> 00:56:46,396
You'll sleep well tonight, put it all behind you,
and tomorrow will be another day
695
00:56:47,760 --> 00:56:50,274
Night, night Sweet dreams
696
00:56:56,680 --> 00:56:58,352

698
00:57:00,520 --> 00:57:05,833
Oh, God!
