Music Music What

a day.

How's Jimmy?

Well, it isn't tonsillitis, just a bad cold,

the doctor said.

Good.

Music I am popular.

Jerry, you haven't got time.

You're due at the Dibbles by 7.30.

You must change.

Congratulate yourself later.

Right, madam.

Darling, I wish you were coming.

I've made my excuses.

I'm not leaving Jimmy with a new girl.

Right, point taken.

Daddy, daddy!

You're supposed to be in bed, aren't you?

Come on.

How do you feel, better?

Come on, you've got to get up.

I don't want to, I'm not going to

bed.

Come on, Jimmy.

Don't come.

No.

No.

I'm not going to bed.

Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy.

I don't want to.

You're supposed to be balling.

Oh, yes, come on.

Goodie, goodie, brother.

Oh, there's your puppy.

Now, you're not going to play your mother

up when I'm gone, are you?

That's good.

Good God, about the time.

I must rush.

Sleep tight.

I want my space shuttle.

Eat a bit.

Come on, eat a bit first.

Got it?

Arms up.

Now, you're not going to cuddle it too

tight, are you?

It'll never take off.

Sleep tight, son.

Jerry!

Jerry!

Come on, you're on.

All right, Joey.

Let's all replay it in the studio.

Oh, look, I'm bright orange.

You are going to watch.

Do just the cover.

Aspects of violence.

I'm not averse to turning the tables on

thugs that terrorise the public.

My rule is anathema to our society.

You're taking the car?

No, no, I'll walk.

Across the park.

It's not far.

I need some air.

I've been in smoke-filled rooms all day.

You haven't really got time.

Will I walk fast?

What's the matter, darling?

Stop looking so worried.

It's just a cold.

He's already very much better.

He's rushing around like a maniac.

I wish you hadn't got this job.

Why, do you think it made much difference

to us?

Partly that.

And what else?

I'm afraid.

When you look at those letters and telegrams.

You mean the ones from Craig's?

There's been so much publicity, so much controversy

about what you're going to do.

I didn't think it was going to be

easy.

Well, some of those letters are abusive and

threatening.

I know.

But don't take them seriously.

Everyone in public life gets letters like that.

I tell you what, I bet the PM...

I'm sorry, I expect I'm just being silly.

Anyway, as soon as the appointment's official, I'll

be getting extra security.

Now, you're probably going to hate that.

Invading our privacy?

I must get...

I really will be late.

Bye, darling.

I'm going to miss you.

Oh, my

God!

Oh, my God!

Every man in the street, the ordinary man,

small shopkeeper, they're the people we've got to

convince that with our leadership, they can pick

themselves off the ground and do the work.

So, to sum up, help will be given

to Civic Renewal, but meanwhile, the law will

be upheld.

Mr Gerald Overton, our new minister, will speak.

Hello.

Mary, how lovely.

I want you to meet the lawyer.

I'm so glad you've been able to get

here.

You do know Gerald, don't you?

I'm with you in a moment.

It's such a pity that Jennifer couldn't come.

Well, things have been very hectic.

Now, I want you to meet Mary.

Mary, may I introduce Gerald Overton, our new

minister?

You're all over the front pages today.

How do you do?

How do you do?

Mary's just got a new job too, Gerald.

Oh, I see.

What's that?

Well, it's, um...

It's publicity, really, but of a rather specialised

kind.

I ensure celebrities remain celebrities.

It's fun.

Yes, I'm sure.

Do you take on politicians?

Hmm.

When they fall from grace.

Until that happens, they can usually look after

themselves.

I find.

How do they manage to do all this?

I agree with you.

Well, it's very easy to say.

It's a national sport, Mary, blaming the government.

The fact is, first and foremost, people must

take responsibility for themselves.

I agree.

I do.

Are you saying, Mr Overton...

I'm sorry, Mrs Cromer.

Are you saying we can no longer look

to the police for protection?

No, but we can all of us take

more care, be more vigilant.

81 years old.

Two of them.

Take this friend of mine, much older than

I am.

She was murdered.

Yes, well, we do indeed get tough with

muggers.

The elderly and the helpless shouldn't have to

go in terror in our streets.

Gerald, Gerald.

Look, we're having rather a heated argument over

here.

Now, let's have your opinion.

Would you walk through the park alone at

night?

Well, I often do.

So London isn't New York yet.

Well, of course certain areas have more problems

than others.

And yes, I do believe that we've grown

too soft in the way we handle violence

and crime.

Oh, you'd better be careful, Gerald, or be

branded as a fascist.

I don't think I'd walk through the park

at night.

I don't think I'd like you to.

But to get back to your point, Mrs.

Cromer, whilst I don't subscribe to the theory

that all crime, mugging, for instance, is socially

motivated...

It's all right for you, Mr. Overton.

You're young.

Why not so young?

And I also take precautions.

I was brought up in a very tough

area of Leeds.

I make it my business to keep fit.

You're a rough diamond, really.

Thank you.

Not at all.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

Good night, Henry.

Have you been enjoying yourself?

Yes, delightful as always.

Good night, Gerald.

I must go, too.

Thank you.

Good night.

Do give my love to Jennifer.

And I do hope she may recover soon.

Oh, yes, of course she will.

Strong as a horse.

I'd offer you a lift home, but I'm

afraid I've walked.

I didn't.

Nor am

I.

Maybe you're worth the detour.

Telephone.

From my place.

Tell your wife you've had an urgent call.

Government business.

No.

Come on.

I never say please.

I never say no.

You don't?

No, I...

I'm sorry, Mary, no.

Are you afraid?

No.

It's OK, Mary.

You respect your wife too much.

I love her.

Good night.

Look!

I don't mind that.

I expected that.

Gerald.

I'm no threat.

I value my independence.

All right, you're liberated.

Could be I'm not.

Good night.

Coward!

Coward!

Sorry, mate.

Are you all right?

What do you think you're doing?

I didn't see you in the dark.

Look, I can't stop.

Last bus.

You all right?

Yes.

Oi!

Yo!

Yo!

Let me go!

What the hell do you think you're doing?

Took the wrong man.

Come on, the wallet, where is it?

Thought I'd never catch you, eh?

Come on!

Damn it!

Come on.

Mummy?

Darling.

What's the matter?

You thirsty?

What?

Can I come into bed with you?

No.

Come on, Jimmy.

Please.

Come on.

I'll make you all nice and comfortable.

Officer!

Officer!

Get on to headquarters, will you?

I want to report a mugger.

When's Daddy coming home?

He'll be back soon.

Are you comfy?

No.

Let's plump up your pillow.

First to the south gate of the park.

Age about 30.

Dark handwreck.

Mother.

Reporting a mugging.

Darling!

Is that you?

Do you know, the most extraordinary thing has

just happened to me.

I was coming through the park...

Good God!

Jimmy is funny, you know.

He couldn't sleep, so I went in...

I'm fine, darling.

It's slightly more important than that.

More?

Please.

Here.

Look what I found under his pillow.

What?

It must have fallen out when you said

goodnight.

Darling, you'd better answer the door.

Darling!

Of course.

Mr. Overton.

We'd like a word.

Can we come in?

Yes, of course.

This is my wife.

Madam.

We've had a complaint from a member of

the public who says he was mugged, had

his wallet stolen and recognised you.

We have a description of the wallet.

It's plain black leather with the initials MB.

What, darling?

What have you done?

He complains of assault and battery together with

theft, sir.

The fact is, he says you mugged him.

Now, look...

I quite understand your position, sir.

And I'm sure that you understand mine.

I'm going to have no objection to turning

out your pockets.

Ah.

Would you like to make a statement, sir?

I must caution you...

Officer!

Listen.

The most extraordinary thing happened to me.

He won't believe this.

He won't believe this.

You
