The Queen Mother?

00:03:37,106 --> 00:03:40,360
I sometimes shout out
"knickers", just to shake things up.
67
00:03:40,395 --> 00:03:43,400
You want to get used to my
colourful sense of humour.

86

my gut that life's got something
90
00:05:18,115 --> 00:05:20,880
more in store for me than
being Miss Blackpool Belle.
91
00:05:20,915 --> 00:05:22,965

Bright lights, here I come.
97
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:50,960
Good morning,
madam. Good morning.
98
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:57,925
Mother of the bride, is it?
99
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:02,800
Er, well, perhaps this hat
might suit madam better.
100
00:06:02,835 --> 00:06:06,960
I like this one.
What do you think?
101
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:12,960
Have you ever seen a dead
badger on the side of the road?
102
00:06:12,995 --> 00:06:16,125
I beg your pardon?
Well, you did ask.
103
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:19,480
She did ask, didn't she? Is
there a problem, Barbara?
104
00:06:19,515 --> 00:06:22,765
No, no, Miss Sykes. I was
just explaining to madam
105
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:28,000
that this hat makes her head
look a little bit like, um... Roadkill.
106
00:06:28,035 --> 00:06:30,045
Yeah.
107
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:36,080
I'm... I'm so sorry, madam,
She's from up north.
108
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:44,240
I was just being
honest. Honest? Honest.
109
00:06:44,275 --> 00:06:48,017
The only honest
opinion madam requires
110
00:06:48,052 --> 00:06:51,760
is to be told that
the hat, any hat,
111
00:06:51,795 --> 00:06:56,045
looks absolutely perfect.
112
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:59,285
Absolutely perfect.
113
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:02,840
Sorry, Miss Sykes, it
won't happen again.
114
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:22,765
Whoa! Hazard warning.
115
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,320
That chicken sandwich has
been there, like, two weeks.
116
00:07:25,355 --> 00:07:27,325
Oh, it smells a bit ripe. Ripe?
117
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:30,760
Surprised it hasn't grown
legs and run out clucking.
118
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:37,220
Marjorie. Shoes.
119
00:07:37,255 --> 00:07:41,205
Barbara. Hats.
120
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:41,957
There you are.
121
00:07:41,963 --> 00:07:44,040
Yeah, of course, you've
got a face for hats.
122
00:07:44,075 --> 00:07:45,965
Oh, you haven't seen
me in a bobble hat,
123
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,322
I look like a boiled
egg - in a tea cosy.
124
00:07:48,328 --> 00:07:49,520
- All right, my love?
125
00:07:49,555 --> 00:07:53,685
So, do you know this lot
then? No, not personally.
126
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:57,160
I can tell which departments
they work in just by looking at them.
127
00:07:57,195 --> 00:07:59,965
Starting at the top.
Of the building?
128
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,565
The league table.
- Here you go, Marj. - Cheers, Julie.
129
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:08,520
Now, over here we've got ladies'
fashion and couture, first division.
130
00:08:08,555 --> 00:08:10,680
They all went to Lucie
Clayton Modelling School,
131
00:08:10,715 --> 00:08:12,485
they all talk posh,
they all walk like
132
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:16,480
they've got a stick up their
arse. Never seen one of them eat.
133
00:08:16,515 --> 00:08:19,485
Perhaps they shovel down
the pies when they get home.
134
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:23,280
Oh, no, they don't go home, no.
They party all night with pop stars.
135
00:08:23,315 --> 00:08:24,262
See the redhead?
136
00:08:24,268 --> 00:08:26,440
Yeah. She went on
a date with a Beatle.
137
00:08:26,475 --> 00:08:30,120
No! Yeah. He's just the
drummer, though, so...
138
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:35,040
Next floor down,
you've got make-up.
139
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:39,405
So, you can be
pretty and, like, short,
140
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:43,120
but you can't have the wonky
teeth. Well, no. Who wants buy lippy
141
00:08:43,155 --> 00:08:46,960
off someone with a
gob like Ken Dodd?
142
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:51,765
Now, over here
we've got perfume.
143
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:54,920
Law unto themselves that
lot. What do you mean?
144
00:08:54,955 --> 00:08:58,005
Men come in to buy
gifts for their ladies, yeah?
145
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:02,160
They ask the girls to spritz on
themselves so they can smell it.
146
00:09:02,195 --> 00:09:06,280
That's Millie. One geezer
sniffed all the way up to her armpit.
147
00:09:06,315 --> 00:09:08,680
Then he gave it a lick. Oh!
148
00:09:08,715 --> 00:09:10,840
And that's you, hats.
149
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:18,680
So, what are we in hats?
Bottom of the league table?
150
00:09:18,715 --> 00:09:21,640
No, no, that's us, in shoes.
151
00:09:22,680 --> 00:09:25,405
Whoops! Sorry.
152
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:28,360
I could kill her. Now, you'll
find us in the basement,
153
00:09:28,395 --> 00:09:30,165
just follow the cheesy pong.
154
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:32,240
Thanks for the
rundown, Marjorie.
155
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:36,040

Where are you living
then? Bed and breakfast.
159
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:49,540
Just moved down from Blackpool.
- Blackpool? - Mm-hm!
160
00:09:49,575 --> 00:09:51,967

Good for you. What? No.
165
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:09,160
I mean, you can
move in, if you like.
166

I'm your Vitavigavegivat Girl.
Are you tired, run down, listless?
205
00:12:31,755 --> 00:12:34,445
Do you poop out at

00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:37,760
The answer to all your

Er, little bottle.

Oh, it depends

211
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:54,320
Marj, would you stop using my

212
00:12:54,355 --> 00:12:57,205
Well, how else am I
meant to get the stains out?
213
00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:00,540
I've just spent an hour at the
laundrette, why didn't you come?
214
00:13:00,575 --> 00:13:03,840
Because I don't want strangers
just staring at me knick-knocks.
215
00:13:03,875 --> 00:13:06,605
At least I caught
a bit of Lucille Ball.
216
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:11,005
So, that was a bonus. Hey,
maybe we should get a telly?
217
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:15,200
I'm not watching that I Love Lucy
lady, she gets me all wound up.

Pulling funny faces and
falling on her backside.
219
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:21,445
What kind of job is that? That's
worse than working in shoes.
220
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:25,720
I'd love to get paid to muck about.
- What? On telly? - Yeah. Why not?
221
00:13:25,755 --> 00:13:29,245
You wanna be an actress?
Well, maybe, I don't know.
222
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:33,000
My dad says that actresses are
no better than common prostitutes.
223
00:13:33,035 --> 00:13:35,040
Is your dad a vicar
from Victorian times?
224
00:13:35,075 --> 00:13:37,365
No, he works at the car plant.
225
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:40,605
- Oh! - Oh!
- Bloody hell. - Aah.
226
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:44,680
Never mind a telly, we haven't even
got enough money to pay the meter.
227
00:13:44,715 --> 00:13:47,880
Hey, give me some change. I
splashed out on the tumble dryer.
228
00:13:47,915 --> 00:13:49,840
- Oh.
- Oh! What are we gonna do now?

00:14:20,195 --> 00:14:22,285
Oh, Marie, just

run a vacuum round too, will you?

Well, I'll just do it later.
243
00:14:33,035 --> 00:14:37,045
Just leave it. It may
have escaped your notice
244
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:39,320
but she's the same age
as her mother when she left.

disappear like Gloria.
246
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:44,205
She just needs to spread
her wings, that's all.
247
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:46,840
Well, might not be all she's
spreading if she's not careful.

Marie, please. She...
She can handle herself.

Listen, just because we
didn't get any chances,

say she shouldn't.
251
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:57,149
You made her think
she's - something special.
252
00:14:57,155 --> 00:14:57,720
- But she is.
253
00:14:57,755 --> 00:15:00,269
She's swanned off to London...
I always told her that... like,
254
00:15:00,275 --> 00:15:01,805
like she's above the lot of us.
255
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:04,469

Campari and soda for the lady.
338
00:20:51,635 --> 00:20:53,605
Thanks.
339
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:56,440
Oh, do I drink it or gargle it?
340
00:20:58,360 --> 00:21:01,140
Come here often, do
you? Well, let's just say
341
00:21:01,175 --> 00:21:03,885
I have the occasional
business rendezvous.
342
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:06,045
And what do you do after
you've done your business?
343
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:06,926
I beg your pardon?
344
00:21:06,932 --> 00:21:08,680
Oh, sorry, that sounded wrong.
345
00:21:08,715 --> 00:21:12,317
Um, I meant after the
show, do you go backstage
346
00:21:12,352 --> 00:21:15,885
and mingle with the
stars? Or have a cocktail?
347
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:20,760
Oh, don't you worry, I
have plans for us later.
348
00:21:20,795 --> 00:21:23,440
Valentine, is that you?
349
00:21:23,475 --> 00:21:25,400
Sidney.
350
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:30,960
And your lovely lady wife. Hello,
Audrey. What a nice surprise.
351
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:35,645
Aren't you going
to introduce us?
352
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:40,520
Yes, this is Barbara, she's
my... A secretary in my office.
353
00:21:40,555 --> 00:21:43,125
Yeah, she's nuts
about Matt Munro,
354
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:47,360
and when a ticket unexpectedly
came up she jumped at the chance.
355
00:21:49,120 --> 00:21:49,400
Hm!
356
00:21:49,406 --> 00:21:52,720
Well, Sidney, why don't we
get the ladies a proper drink
357
00:21:52,755 --> 00:21:55,920
and then we can discuss
business. Would you excuse us?
358
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:00,400
We've got a table.
359
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:11,360
You're welcome to my Campari,
Audrey, I haven't touched it.
360
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:16,280
No? I don't blame you.
It smells like toilet bleach.
361
00:22:16,315 --> 00:22:20,160
He may not be wearing a ring
but he is married, you know?
362
00:22:20,195 --> 00:22:22,240
Who? Sidney?
363
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:27,800
You know who I mean.
He's married to Joan.
364
00:22:27,835 --> 00:22:30,080
And they have two children.
365
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:34,120
But I don't expect your
sort care much about that.
366
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:37,560
What sort is that, exactly?
367
00:22:37,595 --> 00:22:39,840
A good-time girl.
368
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:44,520
Out for what she can get
from unsuspecting married men.
369
00:22:44,555 --> 00:22:47,320
Come along, ladies. Matt
Munro is about to begin.
370
00:22:47,355 --> 00:22:49,160
How's your wife, Valentine?
371
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:53,861
Um, she's a bit under
- the weather, actually.
372
00:22:53,867 --> 00:22:54,200
- Hm.
373
00:22:54,235 --> 00:22:57,005
I think I might have
caught what she's got,
374
00:22:57,040 --> 00:23:00,120
a touch of having the wool
pulled over your eyes-itis.
375
00:23:00,155 --> 00:23:03,565
It was nice to meet you, Audrey.
376
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:08,240
Sidney. And, Valentine, send
my commiserations to Joan.
377
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:22,520
Oh, you leaving
already? Don't ask.
378
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:29,760
I like your dress.
Borrowed from work.
379
00:23:29,795 --> 00:23:31,765
Turns out I needn't
have bothered.
380
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:35,285
Plus it's about as comfortable
as being sewn into a wind sock.
381
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:38,800
Bloody nightmare if you need
a wazz. The ladies is that way.
382
00:23:38,835 --> 00:23:42,280
Shout if you need help with
the zipper, I'll hold onto your coat.
383
00:23:42,315 --> 00:23:46,520
Soft, what light from
yonder window breaks.
384
00:23:46,555 --> 00:23:48,437
Oh, you can bugger off and all.
385
00:23:48,472 --> 00:23:50,285
Hey, you don't
remember me, do you?
386
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:53,520
We met at the first night of that
Arthur Askey film you were in.
387
00:23:53,555 --> 00:23:56,560
What a revelation.
I've not been in any film.
388
00:23:56,595 --> 00:23:59,845
Matt Monro! My
dear, I'm terribly sorry.
389
00:23:59,880 --> 00:24:02,205
I could have sworn
you were Sabrina.
390
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:05,960
I'm not bloody Sabrina! And you
fellas might learn to tell us apart
391
00:24:05,995 --> 00:24:08,800
if you ever bothered to
look above a woman's neck.
392
00:24:08,835 --> 00:24:11,405
Might I buy you a drink
by way of apology?
393
00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:13,601
You've got to be joking.
394
00:24:13,607 --> 00:24:17,440
I never joke, absolutely
no sense of humour.
395
00:24:17,475 --> 00:24:20,457
My name is Brian Debenham.
396
00:24:20,492 --> 00:24:23,405
And this is my dear wife, Patsy.
397
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:27,334
Oh, I say, you are awfully
pretty, - Right up your street, Brian.
398
00:24:27,340 --> 00:24:27,640
- Hm.
399
00:24:27,675 --> 00:24:30,285
Rather like Sabrina.
- She doesn't like to hear that. - Oh!
400
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:33,725
And I don't like it when men try
to pick me up while their wives
401
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:34,672
are watching!
402
00:24:34,678 --> 00:24:37,860
But we're not trying to
pick you up for kinky sex.
403
00:24:37,895 --> 00:24:41,960
No, my dear. What I've got planned
for you is much grubbier than that.
404
00:24:41,995 --> 00:24:44,720
Was it something I said?
405
00:24:44,755 --> 00:24:46,840
Everything. Come on, Patsy.

00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:33,605
What are you doing?
417
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:35,960
I'm gonna have

No!

00:25:38,752 --> 00:25:41,440

We told you it was grubby.
435
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:47,205
Come and see me
in the office sometime.
436
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:50,640
There's a lot of
opportunity for a girl like you.
437
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:58,320
Take a taxi home, darling. The
rain plays havoc with a hair piece.
438
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:16,960
Heavy night on the
Babycham, was it?
439
00:27:16,995 --> 00:27:19,277
How is our old pal, Valentine?
440
00:27:19,312 --> 00:27:21,560
Valentine was not a gentleman.
441
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:26,580
I think the word gentleman
in gentleman's friend
442
00:27:26,615 --> 00:27:29,520
is a bit like the word
public in public school.
443
00:27:29,555 --> 00:27:31,525
Probably should have warned you.
444
00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:34,320
Those perfume fellas
just want it on a plate.
445
00:27:34,355 --> 00:27:36,400
Thought you'd know that.
446
00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:41,400
Why, what's the matter?
You're not a virgin, are you?
447
00:27:41,435 --> 00:27:44,240
Are you? Shut up!
448
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:47,405
The point is, you
don't look like a virgin,
449
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:50,005
so you should probably
expect fellas to have a crack.
450
00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:53,480
No, Marj, the point is, it's one
thing choosing to go with a fella,
451
00:27:53,515 --> 00:27:56,920
it's quite another thing when a
man thinks its his for the taking.
452
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:12,125
Right, well, come on missus,
453
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:14,325
get your clobber on,
we're late for work.
454
00:28:14,360 --> 00:28:19,280
Actually, Marj, could you drop
the dress back with ladies' fashion,
455
00:28:19,315 --> 00:28:21,560
I'm not up to hats today.
456
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:43,280
Sorry, I've only got enough coppers
for me weekly call with me dad.
457
00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:50,925
He says patience is a virtue.
458
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:53,400
He's not the one that's
sitting in the freezing cold
459
00:28:53,435 --> 00:28:55,600
eating pilchards from a tin.
460
00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:00,165
Perfect timing.
461
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:04,120
George, look who's
just dropped by
462
00:29:04,155 --> 00:29:07,117
with a lovely
bit of... tripe. Ha!
463
00:29:07,152 --> 00:29:10,045
Eh up, Mr Parker.
All right, Aiden.
464
00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:13,005
Would you like a cuppa,
Aiden? Oh, I'd love one.
465
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:15,720
I'm absolutely parched.
George, where are your manners?
466
00:29:15,755 --> 00:29:18,920
Go and make Aiden a
nice cup of tea. No, wait.
467
00:29:18,955 --> 00:29:21,360
George? Oh!
468
00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:28,740
Barbara, it's me. Aiden!
What are you doing there?
469
00:29:28,775 --> 00:29:31,807
What are you doing there?
You've made your point,
470
00:29:31,842 --> 00:29:34,840
it's time to stop faffing
around and come home.
471
00:29:34,875 --> 00:29:38,565
Please, I need to
speak to me dad.
472
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:41,200
Here, here, there you
go. Give us the phone.
473
00:29:41,235 --> 00:29:43,680
Dad? Dad, are
you there? Barbara?
474
00:29:43,715 --> 00:29:45,685
Mayday, mayday!
475
00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:47,760
Hey, how was Matt Munro?
476
00:29:47,795 --> 00:29:50,177
Er, Dad...
477
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:56,680
Are you all right, love? Um...
478
00:29:57,680 --> 00:30:00,560
Remember, love, if at first you
don't succeed, come home and have...
479
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:05,640

You gave me your business card.

No, I mean here in London.
491
00:31:02,012 --> 00:31:04,525
Tell me all about yourself?
492
00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:09,485
Hm? Oh! Um, I was
born in Blackpool.
493
00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:14,760
- Hmm!
- And I came to London to be... someone.

unpopular? Then try Vitavigavegivat.

What on earth has dear
Lucille got to do with anything?
500
00:31:34,875 --> 00:31:40,325
Wonderful legs, of
course, but, unfortunately,
501
00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:44,880
she was forced to make
faces in order to pay the rent.
502
00:31:44,915 --> 00:31:49,400
No. You, you have
something different.
503
00:31:49,435 --> 00:31:53,925
You have star quality.
504
00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:57,160
Hm! Would you like an egg?

00:31:57,195 --> 00:31:59,525
No, thank you.

Um, are you the agent of

507
00:32:04,115 --> 00:32:07,537
Many have sat
where you are sitting

00:32:07,572 --> 00:32:11,206
at some point in their careers.
509
00:32:11,241 --> 00:32:14,840
And the others I, er...
510
00:32:14,875 --> 00:32:17,757
...pin up for inspiration.
511
00:32:17,792 --> 00:32:20,605
So, let's get cracking.
512
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:25,880
We don't want the bloom
to go off the rose, do we, er,
513
00:32:25,915 --> 00:32:28,165
Barbara?
514
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:30,840
Any relevant experience?
515
00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:34,205
Me dad says I'm
good at doing voices.
516
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:37,240
Well, we'll be sure to put
that on your curriculum vita.
517
00:32:37,275 --> 00:32:40,160
No experience at all.
518
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:44,120
Not unless you count
being Miss Blackpool Belle.
519
00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:49,805
Miss Blackpool Belle?
Well, now you're talking.
520
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:54,160
That is something I can work
with. Hm, local beauty queen,
521
00:32:54,195 --> 00:32:57,205
our very own
Cinderella. I love it.
522
00:32:57,240 --> 00:33:00,440
So, can I give up me
job at Lewis Peters?
523
00:33:00,475 --> 00:33:03,320
Well, let's not do
anything rash...
524
00:33:03,355 --> 00:33:05,005
.. Barbara.
525
00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:07,680
Barbara, what did you
say your name was?
526
00:33:07,715 --> 00:33:10,240
Parker. Barbara Parker.
527
00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:16,560
Barbara is ever so
slightly provincial, hm?
528
00:33:16,595 --> 00:33:19,445
What do you think of Sophie?
529
00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:22,560
Do I know her? No, I
mean the name Sophie.
530
00:33:22,595 --> 00:33:27,165
How about Sophie Straw? Hm?
531
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:32,040
It's modern, it's
fresh, it's alliterative.
532
00:33:32,075 --> 00:33:34,520
Hm! It's like Sandy Shaw.
533
00:33:34,555 --> 00:33:36,525
Sophie Straw?
534
00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:39,245
It sounds like a
type of animal feed.
535
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:43,805
Precisely. If even I, a
happily married man,
536
00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:47,440
deeply in love with his
wife, ends up thinking about
537
00:33:47,475 --> 00:33:49,565
rolls in the hay
with Sophie Straw,
538
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:53,760
imagine what all the unhappily
married men will feel like?
539
00:33:53,795 --> 00:33:57,560
Rolls in the hay? Well,
figuratively speaking.
540
00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:05,680
I'll be Sophie, I suppose, if
you think it will help me get a job.
541
00:34:05,715 --> 00:34:09,597
Wonderful news. To that
end, I'll ask Patsy, my wife,
542
00:34:09,632 --> 00:34:13,480
to go out shopping with you
for a lovely gingham bikini.
543
00:34:13,515 --> 00:34:15,897
- Bikini?
- Hm. It's coming on winter.
544
00:34:15,932 --> 00:34:18,186
Yeah, you can wear
it for your auditions,
545
00:34:18,221 --> 00:34:20,630
so that everyone can
see your lovely shape.
546
00:34:20,665 --> 00:34:23,040
If I wanted to shimmy
about in me swimmers,
547
00:34:23,075 --> 00:34:24,845
I could have
stayed in Blackpool.
548
00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:28,200
Are you telling me you
actually want to act?
549
00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:32,845
Oh, well, hm! That's it.
550
00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:37,040
Well, we'll send you out on
some auditions, with words,
551
00:34:37,075 --> 00:34:40,080
and we'll call
it a trial period.
552
00:34:40,115 --> 00:34:43,640
A trial period, no bikinis.
553
00:34:43,675 --> 00:34:45,805
Yet.
554
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:48,400
Ever.
555
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:52,560
Oh, Pats, will you get
me the toast, please?
556
00:34:52,595 --> 00:34:54,480
Of course, darling,
butter on both sides?

Shall I go first or...?
You got the sack.
564
00:35:16,161 --> 00:35:18,800
Sykesy told me to
give you that letter
565
00:35:18,835 --> 00:35:20,840
and tell you not to come back.
566
00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:26,485
How did she know
about the dress?
567
00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:29,725
She saw it. Apparently,
when they took it out the bag
568
00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:33,600
in ladies' fashion, it was so
crispy that it stood up on its own.
569

I know, she didn't
bother with us in shoes

cos, apparently,
we're not at risk. Rude.
575
00:35:48,795 --> 00:35:50,765
Well, in that case,
576
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:54,440
it's just as well that I got
myself a theatrical agent.
577
00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:01,925
Whoo!
578
00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:06,565
It's a brand-new farce
called Move Over, Madam,
579
00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:11,000
and your character is a flighty
young debutante whom the male lead,
580
00:36:11,035 --> 00:36:12,685
Nigel, is keen to tup.
581
00:36:12,720 --> 00:36:15,320
He is, of course,
prevented from doing so
582
00:36:15,355 --> 00:36:18,040
by his shrewish hag of a wife.

00:36:18,075 --> 00:36:20,960

584
00:36:20,995 --> 00:36:23,445
And action!
585
00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:28,340
For extra penetration,
wash your whites in Ripples.
586
00:36:28,375 --> 00:36:33,200
Mm! Ripples, for when
things get really filthy.
587
00:36:33,235 --> 00:36:36,377
No, Nigel! We can't do it here!
588
00:36:36,412 --> 00:36:39,206
Not with your
wife upstairs. Stop!
589
00:36:39,241 --> 00:36:41,900
Her shape's all
wrong for our brand.
590
00:36:41,935 --> 00:36:44,560
I'm sorry, not
this time, darling.
591
00:36:44,595 --> 00:36:46,800
Are you trying something?
592
00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:51,640
What? What do you mean am...?
I mean, that there, the accent.
593
00:36:51,675 --> 00:36:55,480
It's not an accent,
it's how I talk.
594
00:36:55,515 --> 00:36:57,760
Oh, dear.
595
00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:07,880
Hiya.
596
00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:12,360

Perhaps our accent

605
00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:46,640
I thought kitchen-sink
drama was all the rage.
606
00:37:46,675 --> 00:37:49,325
For angry young men, dear.
607
00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:52,560
Nobody wants an angry young woman
to come romping around the stage
608
00:37:52,595 --> 00:37:55,205
beating her breasts
like an orangutan.
609
00:37:55,240 --> 00:37:58,760
I can't help feeling we've
rather run out of options
610
00:37:58,795 --> 00:38:02,837
on the, er, speaking part front.
611
00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:11,605
Go to this address,
tell them I sent you.
612
00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:16,400
And if you don't get this part,
I'm afraid our trial period is over.
613
00:38:16,435 --> 00:38:19,920
I'd rather be cleaning toilets.
614
00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:25,080
There is a call about who you
sent for casting in The Dining In.
615
00:38:25,115 --> 00:38:27,120
Not a happy bunny.
616
00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:30,685
And a very good
morning to you too, Beryl.
617
00:38:30,720 --> 00:38:33,269
"Why did you send to the
casting of the role of the virgin bride
618
00:38:33,275 --> 00:38:36,645
"an actress who is five
months pregnant?"Oh!
619
00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:39,120
"I have ceased with your
services forever, Brian. "
620
00:38:39,155 --> 00:38:43,237
I'm sorry you feel that way. Oh!
621
00:38:43,272 --> 00:38:47,320
It's just a silly old
comedy playhouse,
622
00:38:47,355 --> 00:38:50,240
no money to be
made there, darling.
623
00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:55,040
Comedy playhouse? Comedy shit-house.
- Pardon my French. - Comedy playhouse?
624
00:38:55,075 --> 00:38:57,565
I'd love to do one of those.
625
00:38:57,600 --> 00:39:00,240
Well, why didn't I think
of that, eh? Look at this,
626
00:39:00,275 --> 00:39:03,525
Cicely is well spoken,
petite, brunette,
627
00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:07,205
the varsity-educated daughter
of a fucking clergyman!
628
00:39:07,240 --> 00:39:11,360
Of course, you're perfect casting!
Deep breath, deep breath, darling.
629
00:39:11,395 --> 00:39:12,711
Shall I loosen this?
630
00:39:12,717 --> 00:39:15,480
Yes. I've spent my
whole life being helpful.

Holmes and Bill Gardiner,

00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:54,080
Thank you so much. Marvellous
work as always. We'll be in touch.
634
00:39:55,440 --> 00:39:57,607
Oh, could you show - Marcie out, please?
- Of course.
635
00:39:57,635 --> 00:40:00,057
We can catch up on
all the theatre gossip.
636
00:40:00,092 --> 00:40:02,746
I hear there's been
much ado about nothing
637
00:40:02,781 --> 00:40:05,400
over Richard Burton's Hamlet.
638
00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:23,120
Hello? - Oh! My goodness!
- Oh!
639
00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:25,840
Um...
640
00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:30,960
Sorry. I'll give you a
hand. No, sorry. Yes.
641
00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:35,365
I haven't missed it,
have I? The audition?
642
00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:40,080
I just saw Beryl in the corridor
and she said to get a wriggle on.
643
00:40:40,115 --> 00:40:42,445
Beryl said that?
644
00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:44,565
Oh, gosh! I'm so sorry, Miss...
645
00:40:44,600 --> 00:40:47,160
Um... Sorry. We weren't,
um, expecting anyone else.
646
00:40:48,240 --> 00:40:52,920
My agent definitely arranged
for me to meet you at 20 past.
647
00:40:52,955 --> 00:40:55,280
Er, Beryl said to
start without her.
648
00:40:55,315 --> 00:40:57,405
I'm Sophie Straw.
649
00:40:57,440 --> 00:41:02,680
Er, Dennis. Dennis
Mohindra. Mr Mohindra!
650
00:41:02,715 --> 00:41:05,400
I've listened to every
single Awkward Squad,
651
00:41:05,435 --> 00:41:09,440
it's the best thing
since... sausages.
652
00:41:11,120 --> 00:41:13,989
Sorry, I don't even
know what - that means.
653
00:41:13,995 --> 00:41:15,600
- Nice, well, thank you.
654
00:41:15,635 --> 00:41:19,960
Could you give me
just one moment?
655
00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:31,445
Um, apparently, there's
one more young lady for us.
656
00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:35,080
Oh, Jesus, seriously? I thought
we all decided on Marcia Bell.
657
00:41:35,115 --> 00:41:37,485
You might have decided on
Marcia Bell on the basis that
658
00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:38,532
you want to fuck her.
659
00:41:38,538 --> 00:41:40,440
Oh, that ship's
already sailed, actually.
660
00:41:40,475 --> 00:41:42,685
But we haven't
decided, right, Tony?
661
00:41:42,720 --> 00:41:45,720
Well, she looks right for the part,
she's a very good classical actress
662
00:41:45,755 --> 00:41:48,520
- but is she funny?
- Er, no. She doesn't have to be funny.
663
00:41:48,555 --> 00:41:50,885
I'm funny. The script's
funny... in places.
664
00:41:50,920 --> 00:41:53,520
Oh, steady on, Clive, you almost
gave the writers a compliment.
665
00:41:53,555 --> 00:41:56,697
In that case, I take it back.
Fascinating as this discussion is,
666
00:41:56,732 --> 00:41:59,840
can we hear the young lady read,
we've got to be out of here by 6pm.
667
00:41:59,875 --> 00:42:01,605
Well, bring her in,
surely she can't be
668
00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:04,720
more wrong for the part
than the other 20 we've seen.
669
00:42:04,755 --> 00:42:08,645
Hi, everyone.
670
00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:11,205
So sorry, Miss
Straw. Er, please.
671
00:42:11,240 --> 00:42:14,125
I'm joking, apologies.
For some stupid reason,
672
00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:18,560
I imagined Cicely as the
well-educated, upper class,
673
00:42:18,595 --> 00:42:20,525
petite, brunette
daughter of a vicar.
674
00:42:20,560 --> 00:42:22,965
I am brunette, honest.
Under the peroxide.
675
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:25,780
I know I don't look like
how you imagine Cicely
676
00:42:25,815 --> 00:42:28,525
but you lot don't look
like how I imagined.
677
00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:31,240
I thought you'd all be
tweedy posh lads with pipes.
678
00:42:31,275 --> 00:42:33,845
You're Clive, aren't you?
679
00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:38,160
Yes, you've seen me on the
stage. Did you catch his Coriolanus?
680
00:42:38,195 --> 00:42:40,765
No, I had the vaccine.
681
00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:44,600
Sorry. No I just... I recognised
his voice from the Awkward Squad.
682
00:42:44,635 --> 00:42:47,725
Captain Smythe. Described
by one critic as having
683
00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:51,380
the most irritating voice since
Peter Sellers played Bluebottle.
684
00:42:51,415 --> 00:42:55,000
And he's not even putting it on.
- Hmm! - Are you Bill or Tony?
685
00:42:55,035 --> 00:42:58,537
I'm Bill. That's got to be a
first. Usually nobody knows
686
00:42:58,572 --> 00:43:02,005
the writers' names until
they've read their obituary.
687
00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:06,040
A- hem! Er, chaps, shall we
push on and let Miss Straw read?
688
00:43:06,075 --> 00:43:10,040
Yes, do let's hear her read.
What have you prepared?
689
00:43:10,075 --> 00:43:14,160
Prepared? Well, I
didn't really have time.
690
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:30,200
The Awkward Squad was written
by Bill Gardiner, Tony Holmes
691
00:43:30,235 --> 00:43:34,057
and produced by Dennis Mohindra.
692
00:43:34,092 --> 00:43:37,880
Sparky was played
by Frank Hector.
693
00:43:37,915 --> 00:43:40,165
And... Ooh!
694
00:43:40,200 --> 00:43:44,320
- Private Private was played by...
- .. somebody private.
695
00:43:44,355 --> 00:43:48,357
And... .. Captain Smythe
696
00:43:48,392 --> 00:43:52,360
was played by Clive Richardson!
697
00:43:52,395 --> 00:43:54,520
What the...?
698
00:43:56,880 --> 00:44:01,000
Ah, Beryl, perfect timing. We
were just auditioning Sophie.
699
00:44:01,035 --> 00:44:03,605
Who? Sophie Straw.
700
00:44:03,640 --> 00:44:06,600
Spoke to her in the corridor?
I gather she's on your list?
701
00:44:06,635 --> 00:44:08,645
She most certainly is not.
702
00:44:08,680 --> 00:44:12,885
We've never met.
Sophie, I thought you said...
703
00:44:12,920 --> 00:44:15,680
Yeah, I rather think you've
been made a fool of, Dennis.
704
00:44:15,715 --> 00:44:19,240
As if we'd ever cast
someone like her.
705
00:44:23,480 --> 00:44:26,520
Sophie. Er, please, let me.
706
00:44:27,600 --> 00:44:29,600
Thank you.
