00:00Hello everybody, welcome back to the channel.
00:16My name's Kevin, I'm a geek, you are watching KevinGeek and welcome to my double header
00:21day for Goodnight Sweetheart.
00:24So I always said that Christmas I would be doing the Christmas special of Goodnight Sweetheart
00:30and because Series 2 has got 10 episodes I need to double up my episodes of Goodnight
00:36Sweetheart so do two a month in order to finish Series 2 for November to then do the Christmas
00:41special in December.
00:43So today and how I will do it moving forward for the next couple of months is I will do
00:49the double headers as a video where I'll do the first episode at 7 o'clock on the day
00:54that I release the videos and then at 5 o'clock later on in the day.
00:57So later on today at 5 o'clock you can check out the second episode of Series 2 or you
01:02can watch it now if it's already 5 o'clock.
01:06I'm looking forward to this one.
01:07Now this is coming out on July the 4th and so of course I need to tell you what happened
01:15on this day during the war and it's quite apt that it's Independence Day for this one.
01:20So July the 4th 1941 Franklin D. Roosevelt the American President he made a broadcast
01:28warning that the United States will never survive as a happy and fertile oasis of liberty
01:34surrounded by a cruel desert of dictatorship and so it is that when we repeat the grand
01:41pledge to our country and to our flag it must be our deep conviction that we pledge as well
01:46our work our will and if it be necessary our very lives.
01:51Well there you go that was me and Franklin D. Roosevelt's impression.
01:56I don't know how accurate that was it probably wasn't very accurate at all but let's check
02:01out Series 2 episode number one.
02:05Good night sweetheart, all my prayers are for you.
02:13Good night sweetheart, I'll be watching over you.
02:21Till man on earth may make us all alone.
02:28Don't get around much any more.
02:36See you tomorrow Josephine and night Magnus, thanks for the after dinner mints.
02:41Stupid dafty boy, I'll turn next.
02:44God no.
02:45Bye.
02:46Bye it was lovely, haven't had too much fun since I fell off my bicycle.
02:50You didn't have to be so up hand all through dinner.
02:53No I didn't have to be I just thought the occasion called for it.
02:56Where do you find people like that, boars or us?
02:59All right I admit Josephine and Magnus can be hard going and you know it's odd because
03:02Josephine's a real laugh at work.
03:04Oh well next time let's have dinner at the office.
03:07And as for Mr Charisma Bypass, how can anyone spend the entire night talking about nothing
03:12but mortgages?
03:13Oh be fair Gary he's a mortgage broker that's why we invited him.
03:16Well yeah but there are limits and why give him dinner?
03:20When I was a kid we had a man from the proo used to come around once a month to collect
03:23the insurance premiums and all he used to get was a cup of tea and a digested biscuit.
03:27And not a choccy digestive either, just an ordinary wheatmeal one.
03:30Have you ever considered you just might be a social cripple?
03:34I am very social.
03:35I'm a social cripple.
03:36I just prefer socialising with my friends rather than with an extra from the Michael
03:40Jackson thriller video.
03:41What friends?
03:44Derek, Chris, that fella who brings the smelly cheese sandwiches every day.
03:50They're not friends, they're people you work with.
03:52I mean real friends.
03:53I mean when we got married you had to get the best man out of the Yellow Pages.
03:59All right.
04:01Ron, Ron's your good friend.
04:05How can you forget Ron?
04:06What are you looking for Gary?
04:08What was the name of that plumber I really got on with when he came around to drain the
04:11central heating?
04:12Yeah it was a tall bloke, we can have a drink together.
04:15Well when we have a baby we'll make him godfather if we can afford the call-out charge.
04:19All right, I am a social cripple.
04:22Happy?
04:23Well the question is are you happy?
04:25Well I was until Magnus came into our lives.
04:28All he did was tell us there's no way we can afford Maple Avenue.
04:31Well we can't.
04:32Oh look it's not so bad, we're only a few thousand pounds adrift.
04:37Only?
04:38Oh we could sell the car.
04:40They don't let you live in Maple Avenue if you haven't got a car.
04:42If they haven't got a catalytic converter they'd get up a petition.
04:46What about Ron?
04:47No, if you'd ever shared a curry with him you know he hasn't got a catalytic converter.
04:51You know when we were discussing friends it was painfully apparent that the one name
04:55you didn't want to volunteer was Ron's.
04:57The only real friend you've got.
04:59And I bet he's got a few thousand put by.
05:02There's no way I'm making it up with Ron.
05:04We didn't just have a tiff you know, we had a serious parting of the ways on a matter
05:07of principle.
05:08A debate?
05:09What happened?
05:11Did I ever miss something?
05:19Good afternoon sir, how may I help you?
05:21Ron.
05:22I hope you're not a rep.
05:23I only see reps on Friday afternoons by appointment.
05:25All right, I'll go.
05:27I knew it was pointless.
05:28Hold on, if you knew it was pointless why did you bother coming round?
05:30Because I haven't had sex for a fortnight.
05:34What?
05:34Gary, even before our bust up I don't think our relationship had progressed.
05:41I mean Yvonne has suspended all carnal activities until I make it up with you.
05:46Yeah well serves you right.
05:52What's happening?
05:54You really let me down you great divot.
05:56I know, I'm sorry.
05:57Sorry?
05:58I could have been seriously wealthy now if you hadn't blown it.
06:00Things just got out of hand, there was a war on you know.
06:03I know, I did do history O-level.
06:06Oh, I remember now.
06:09It was, didn't he ask him to buy some like wartime shares or something?
06:15So that in theory they would own them in the present day.
06:19Yeah, I think that's what it was in the last episode.
06:22But yeah, he just never got around to it did he?
06:25He could try again.
06:28No, even if I did want to see Phoebe her dad had never let me back in his pub.
06:34No, if she thinks I'm in Hollywood writing songs for movies,
06:36it wouldn't be fair on her to start it all up again.
06:39You don't have to see Phoebe, the plan would still work.
06:43All you have to do is go back to 1941, invest a modest amount,
06:47come back and cash in the enormous pile that will have accumulated in the interim.
06:52No, I'd have to go down Duckett's Passage, I'd have to go right past the Royal Oak.
06:56I don't think I can do it Ron, I'm sorry.
06:58Yeah, well I'm sorry too.
07:00Because I don't see how else you're going to get the money to buy your dream home.
07:04You're not going to lend it to me then.
07:08I'm doing you a favour pal, you're never going to fit in in Maple Avenue.
07:13I mean Yvonne will be alright with her open university
07:15and her subscription to country living, but you.
07:20On the other hand, if you had a quarter of a million or so in the bank,
07:23that would buy an awful lot of social lubrication.
07:27Golf club membership, a little boat to tow behind,
07:30new four wheel drive with nudge bars,
07:33Nucky with Yvonne.
07:36You've still got those old white five pound notes.
07:43And there's plenty more where they came from.
07:53Hello again.
07:54Again? We met?
07:57Well no, not really.
07:58You gave me directions once, would have been about a year ago.
08:02My word, you've got a good memory for faces.
08:05Have you ever thought about becoming a policeman yourself?
08:07Tall, young chap like you.
08:09Look, I'm on a yellow line.
08:11Turning yourself in?
08:14Has this always been a bank?
08:16Always is a very long time.
08:1925,000 years ago they say this entire area was underwater.
08:23You know what he means.
08:24But what about 50 years ago?
08:27Well no, of course not.
08:28I mean 50 years ago, the ice age had long ended.
08:32See what we see.
08:33And this bank was a bank?
08:35Oh yeah, my granddad used to bank here himself during the war.
08:39Thanks.
08:55Oh.
09:04Don't do it Gary, don't go in the pub.
09:06Bye.
09:18Gary!
09:19Gary Sparrow!
09:20Red!
09:21Well you were a sight for sore eyes and no mistake.
09:24Back from America then?
09:25Oh, PC Deadman, sorry, I didn't recognize you.
09:29Sickly, ruptured eardrum.
09:31Hello, hello.
09:33Why don't you come in for a beer then?
09:35Play us one of your tunes, cheer us all up.
09:37Yeah, we still do that one of yours down the shelter sometimes.
09:40I'd like to teach the world to sing.
09:46Well, I'd love to, but I'm on my way to the bank.
09:49And your path just happens to cross in front of the front door of the Royal Oak.
09:53You can't pull a wool over my eyes.
09:55I've been a copper for 20 years.
09:57Come on, I know there's someone in there you're dying to see.
10:01What, I don't know, I mean, me and Phoebe, well you know.
10:06Lots changed since you went to America, son.
10:09Come on, I'll buy you a drink.
10:13This is gonna go well.
10:14What's Harry gonna say this time?
10:19You're a bit late.
10:20Sorry, I, uh, I bumped into an old friend outside.
10:24Look, Reg, you're supposed to be here helping me, not rabbiting with old mates.
10:29Gary.
10:31Hi, Phoebe.
10:34Gary, follow me.
10:36Oh, I never thought I'd see you again.
10:40Why didn't you ever write, you bastard?
10:43Lady's present.
10:44I'm the only lady present, and if you don't like the language in here,
10:47you can go and drink somewhere else, you silly old sod.
10:51She's a bit feisty.
10:52Phoebe, you've changed.
10:53Yeah, well, these days you've got to get tough to survive.
10:56You better not let your dad hear you swearing like that,
10:58you'll feel the back of his hand.
11:02What?
11:03What have I said?
11:04Back of his hand was about all I found, son.
11:08That and his dentures, that's how they identify them.
11:10Psst.
11:11Oh.
11:12Sorry.
11:13When?
11:14Four months back.
11:17Oh, Phoebe, I'm so sorry.
11:18Are you?
11:19You never liked him.
11:20No, that's not true.
11:22Oh, right, he was a bit of a...
11:24Well, he used to get on my...
11:26But it doesn't mean he was a complete...
11:29Well...
11:29Well, you know.
11:32I do miss him, Gary.
11:33He was a terrible nag, but he did care about me.
11:38You look like you need a drink.
11:40A large whiskey, Reg, and I'll have me usual.
11:44So, now you're running the Royal Oak.
11:46With Reg's help, if you can call it help.
11:49You just can't get the staff these days, eh?
11:54Bill.
11:56Why didn't you write?
11:59Look, I wanted to, but...
12:02I just thought it would be best to make a clean break, you know.
12:05After they took your Donald prisoner.
12:07Just let you get on with your life.
12:09Then why are you here now?
12:11Very good question.
12:12I suppose you just couldn't keep away, eh?
12:17Something.
12:18Oh, wow.
12:20So...
12:22Presumably, her husband is still captured.
12:25And she's lost her dad.
12:29No wonder she's so...
12:33So, sort of feisty and tough.
12:37You know, because it was hard enough being a woman in the 50s.
12:40The 40s, rather.
12:41No, I can attest to that, of course.
12:45But...
12:46Yeah, I can imagine how difficult it would have been.
12:49And then...
12:51To suddenly be, like, in charge of the pub and everything.
12:55Which, I don't know whether she would have been allowed.
12:59Because I know that most of the pubs were literally run by breweries at that sort of time.
13:06And they weren't keen on having women running them.
13:10It's okay if Harry was doing it, but...
13:13Yeah, for the women, they didn't like it as much.
13:17And so, I wonder if we're going to go down a route where they may try and, like,
13:22call Phoebe up to, like, do the other women's artillery.
13:27Like, working in the factories, like, making the bullets and things like that.
13:30I wonder if they'll go down a storyline of that avenue.
13:33We'll see.
13:34Just let you get on with your life.
13:36Then why are you here now?
13:38I suppose you just couldn't keep away, eh?
13:43Something like that.
13:44Sir, you came all the way from Hollywood to Stepney to look me up.
13:50Despite the fact that they're at Sunshine and film stars,
13:52and here it's raining landmines.
13:54Pull the other one, Gary.
13:56All right, cards on the table.
13:57I didn't fit in there.
13:59It was fine to start with, you know, the chauffeur-driven limousines,
14:02the apartment in Beverly Hills, hobnobbing with the stars.
14:06No.
14:07Who did you hobnob with?
14:09Clark Gable.
14:10He wanted to be in the film, actually.
14:13He made a whiskey.
14:14What about the lady film stars?
14:16Hobnob with any of them?
14:17Yeah, one or two.
14:19More hobbing than nobbing, of course.
14:22Which ones?
14:24Lana Turner, Betty Grable, Greta Garbo.
14:28And you expect me to believe none of them failed fear?
14:32With those eyes that look like they've seen things other people can't even imagine?
14:36Is that what you think?
14:40It's just a job, Phoebe.
14:42I mean, all right, I might seem a bit special here in Stepney,
14:44but over there, I'm just an unknown limey tunesmith.
14:47It doesn't explain why you come round here, though, does it?
14:50Not if you really wanted to make a clean break.
14:54I just wanted to see you again.
14:55Oi, love!
14:57What do you have to do to get a pint in this place?
14:59I'll be right with you.
15:04Mind if I, uh...
15:06No.
15:09She's been really lonely since her dad.
15:11I can imagine.
15:13She's a brave girl.
15:14Very brave.
15:15But she's only young, still.
15:17It's been hard for her.
15:18Are you sure?
15:21Things get very mixed up in wartime, son.
15:23People do things they wouldn't normally do.
15:26Sometimes I regret it after.
15:29Like my missus.
15:31What about your missus?
15:32Nah, forget I mentioned her.
15:34Bloody Canadian fighter pilot!
15:37Anyway, as regards our Phoebe,
15:39just don't go breaking her heart.
15:42I couldn't if I tried.
15:46Well, look at her.
15:47She's become as tough as nails.
15:49Nah, that's just a front.
15:51Rich, would you ever get off your fat backside
15:53and start collecting the pops?
15:56This is a very different Phoebe.
15:57It's convincing, though, isn't it?
16:09Come.
16:31Mr Sparrow?
16:32Yes.
16:32Do come in.
16:33That'll be all, Wilson.
16:36Oh, very good, Mr Manning.
16:37Uh, shall I arrange some tea?
16:41Of course.
16:42Use your initiative, ma'am.
16:44Public school education are the slightest idea
16:47how to behave in the real world.
16:51I understand you want to invest.
16:53I've been feeling quite well.
16:54What's the word?
16:56Who do you think you are kidding, Mr Manning?
17:00I beg your pardon?
17:02What?
17:11Er, what?
17:13Am I missing something?
17:15I mean, that was a theme to Dad's Army, wasn't it?
17:23Someone explain that to me.
17:24I must have clearly missed something there.
17:27I suppose Mannering and Wilson are very common names.
17:29Wilson may be a common name,
17:31but we Mannerings can trace our ancestors back to Hastings.
17:34And I assume you're both in the Home Guard?
17:37Of course.
17:38We're all doing our bit.
17:39Now, about this investment you wish to make.
17:42Yeah, sorry.
17:44Right, hang on.
17:45So from that little bit, the names that they had,
17:50are those names of characters in Dad's Army?
17:54Is that the joke?
17:56Is that what it's supposed to be?
17:58Uh, yeah, I'm a bit confused there.
18:01Someone please explain it to me in the comments.
18:08That's rather a lot of sterling.
18:11May I?
18:16Something wrong?
18:17You can't be too careful.
18:18That swine Goebbels is flooding the country with counterfeit currency.
18:22Well, excuse me.
18:23I hope you're not accusing me of coming in here with...
18:25With respect, Mr Sparrow.
18:27You coming off the street with the sum of money equivalent to my salary
18:30for a year.
18:32All right, look.
18:35Here's my ID card, my ration book and my passport
18:38with all the relevant United States visas and stamps.
18:41I see.
18:44All seems satisfactory.
18:47What were you doing to earn this money exactly?
18:50I'm a songwriter.
18:51Really?
18:52And I've been working on a musical in Hollywood.
18:55Instead of enlisting to fight the enemies of the king?
18:58Hardly the act of a patriot, if you don't mind my saying so.
19:01And why the Stepney branch of the provincial bank?
19:04Mr Manoring, I'm here because you were recommended
19:07for your courtesy and efficiency by my very good friend
19:10Constable Deadman of Stepney Green Police Station.
19:12He'll vouch for me.
19:13I'm sure he will.
19:15The man's a gullible dolt.
19:18All right.
19:18I have a better idea.
19:21Handel's Agrippina.
19:23You what?
19:23Whose what?
19:25One of Handel's early operas.
19:27The bank's operatic society presented it last Christmas.
19:30I had a leading role.
19:33Perhaps you'd care to sing a few bars?
19:36Um, well, I can't read music.
19:39A songwriter who can't read music.
19:42I see.
19:44Wilson?
19:45It happens.
19:45Would you come in here, please?
19:46Oh, no, hold on.
19:47Look, lots of songwriters can't read music.
19:50Will you take Irving Berlin?
19:51He wrote Alexander's Ragtime Band.
19:53He can't even play the blank note.
19:54There you go.
19:55He just sings his songs to people who can write them down.
19:57Sort of low tributic spectrum, a man called Berlin.
20:03Yes.
20:05Here's a conundrum for you.
20:07Mr Sparrow here tells me he's a songwriter and can't read music.
20:10What do you make of that?
20:11Well, that is a strange coincidence.
20:12I was reading only the other day in a playbill that Irving Berlin can't read music either.
20:17There you go.
20:17He wrote Alexander's Ragtime Band.
20:20Come on in here.
20:21Come on in here.
20:22Yes, it's quite enough, Wilson.
20:23Thank you.
20:25Now, I find the whole business very suspect.
20:27I think we should give Mr Sparrow the benefit of the doubt, sir.
20:31Perhaps if he could sing one of his own compositions, that would be proof.
20:37Here's just what I was about to suggest.
20:39Go on then, Mr Sparrow.
20:41Oh, then?
20:42Here, now.
20:44What tune you got for us today?
20:49I'm getting married in the morning.
20:52Ding dong, the bells are gonna chime.
20:55Pull out the stopper, let's have a whopper.
20:58But get me to the church on time.
21:01Oh, I say, that's awfully good.
21:04Thank you, Wilson.
21:05Yes, quite amusing.
21:07In a low-dobrol fashion.
21:09I'm sorry about the unconventional preliminaries, but you can't be too careful.
21:13There's a war on.
21:15Now, about these chairs.
21:17Come.
21:25His name wouldn't be Pike, would it?
21:33What are you talking about?
21:35He's called Major.
21:36Look at the state of that tray, Major.
21:39Sorry, Mr Manorine.
21:42Stupid boy.
21:48Is that still a Dad's Army reference?
21:50I'll push off with sharp.
21:55Gary, what happened to you this morning?
22:06I had to go to the bank.
22:08Anyway, I was wondering...
22:10If you could come in.
22:12Now everyone's gone and I'm all alone in here.
22:15Well, not exactly, I mean...
22:19Of course you can.
22:20This is Lena Gardell.
22:29So, joined the WVS?
22:32Yeah.
22:33I always wanted to do my bit, but Dad would never let me.
22:36I can only do a part-time, of course.
22:39Otherwise, I'd have been a fanny.
22:41A what?
22:42You what?
22:43A first-aid nursing home, Henry.
22:45Fannies.
22:47You can't be a part-time fanny.
22:51No, no, of course not.
22:53And they're very difficult to get into.
22:54Well, that's true.
22:55Well, yeah.
23:00So, what was you wondering?
23:02Oh, nothing.
23:04Well, I just wanted to give you something.
23:05Oh, yeah.
23:06Oh, yeah.
23:14Oh, it's gorgeous.
23:17Oh, I wish I could wear it with my uniform.
23:20The thing is, I've got to go back to America.
23:27Oh, no, so when are you going?
23:30Tomorrow.
23:31Tomorrow?
23:32Yeah, I had a phone call from my producer in Hollywood.
23:36They want Judy Garland to play Eliza Doolittle, and they'd like me to meet her.
23:40Oh, well.
23:41When it comes on at the Rivoli, I'll think about you.
23:45Please don't be like that, Phoebe.
23:47You don't need me around confusing things.
23:50You've got your Donald to think about.
23:52Oh, he's all right.
23:53He's in a prisoner of war camp outside Naples.
23:56He's probably getting a lovely suntan and eating tons of spaghetti.
24:00Obviously, you're going to want to wait for him.
24:02I don't know.
24:04I used to think that.
24:06But then Dad bought it, and I started thinking,
24:08can you live your life waiting for something, someone?
24:11Especially when you aren't even sure you want to see them again.
24:14And after all that, what happens if we lose the war?
24:16We'll win, I promise.
24:17Can you be so sure?
24:21Well, all I know is I'm young, I'm alone, I'm lonely.
24:27My marriage was never much cop, you know that.
24:30And now I've met someone who is good and kind, generous, talented.
24:37Phoebe, please, don't go on.
24:41You were talking about me, weren't you?
24:44You know I was.
24:46Just when I think I've got over you, you come back.
24:50You stir everything up, you give us this lovely broach,
24:53and then announce you're going to swan off again.
24:54It just ain't fair, Gary.
24:56It ain't fair.
24:57That's the war.
24:58It's not war.
24:59It's flippin' Hollywood.
25:02Look, I've got to go.
25:03I was due on duty five minutes ago.
25:06But you've got to promise you'll come back soon, and in one piece.
25:10And here's something to remember me by, then.
25:13I am.
25:18And you can have this on account.
25:25Look, think of me when you're over there.
25:28I will.
25:29I promise.
25:31Listen, we'll meet again.
25:35I don't know where.
25:40But I know we'll meet again some other day.
25:43Oh, I'm rich.
25:47Fantastic.
25:49This calls for a high on your whole content bevy.
25:53Do you know what Eurotronics were trading at this morning?
25:55Nineteen and a half quid.
25:58That means we're worth nearly 450,000 smackers.
26:03Nice.
26:04It's not going to go well, is it?
26:05The title's Live for Temptation.
26:08Cheer up, Gary.
26:10It's a comedy.
26:11It is not going to go right for them.
26:13It's just not.
26:15And let's say they really try and make it go right, and then...
26:19Like, oh, yeah, is this going to be like a butterfly effect thing?
26:23He's gone, he's done that, so it's changed the whole history,
26:25and maybe Germany did win the war.
26:28Oh, that could be interesting.
26:30In one morning, you've managed to make 200,000
26:32and raise your Nookie rating on both sides of the space-time continuum.
26:37Move over, Warren Beatty.
26:39I'm not happy about how I succumbed.
26:42Grow up, pal.
26:44If every man who had a bit of tongue sandwich on the side
26:46went and confessed to his other half,
26:48the Child Support Agency would be Britain's biggest employer.
26:51But I don't feel bad about Yvonne.
26:55Well, not only Yvonne, it...
26:57No, it's Phoebe.
26:58She's changed.
26:59She's more passionate, more exciting.
27:01Oh.
27:02Excuse me, but I don't see you've got a problem.
27:05Well, I only went back to get the money
27:06so Yvonne and me could afford our dream home.
27:10And I tried to tell Phoebe I wouldn't be able to see her again.
27:14She didn't understand.
27:17Ron, she's still going to be waiting for me in 1941.
27:21No, she isn't.
27:23Because it's 1994, and she's either dead
27:26or she's a very old lady who you wouldn't fancy one little bit.
27:31Well, it says here that bedroom three is seven feet by five.
27:35Who owns this house?
27:36The Seven Dwarfs?
27:39Oh, it's a study, is it?
27:40For study and what?
27:41Claustrophobia?
27:44Gary, where have you been?
27:46What do you mean?
27:48Well, it's a simple question.
27:49Where, meaning location, have you, meaning Gary Sparrow,
27:54been, meaning been?
27:57I've been getting us a mortgage.
27:59Really?
28:00Yeah, yeah.
28:01Found a friendly bank.
28:02Ron put me onto them.
28:03Maple Avenue's going to be a piece of cake.
28:05Oh, that's brilliant.
28:06And you've made it up with Ron?
28:07Yeah.
28:08Oh, Gary, I'm so pleased.
28:11So, when do we get to meet this fantastically accommodating bank manager?
28:15Ah, um, well, I'm afraid you won't be able to come.
28:19Why not?
28:21Well, you've heard of the Listening Bank?
28:23Yes.
28:23And the bank that likes to say yes?
28:25Yes.
28:26Well, this bank likes the women to be veiled from head to toe
28:29and walk four paces behind the menfolk.
28:31Oh, an Arab bank?
28:33Yeah, an Arab bank with lots of money to lend.
28:35Gary, I don't want to mortgage off a bunch of chauvinists.
28:38Five percent fixed interest rate.
28:40That's fantastic.
28:41I'll just write it over.
28:44Oh, he, uh, prints all their fatwas.
28:50This receipt's in remarkable condition from 1941.
28:54Virtually new.
28:55What of it?
28:57Um, Grandad kept it in an old oxford tin.
29:00Remember?
29:00That's right, airtight.
29:02Ah, I see.
29:06Oh, sorry.
29:11We'll open it, then.
29:13Wrong.
29:13Just making sure nobody's tampered with it.
29:20Ah, first class.
29:21Here we are.
29:23Yes.
29:2420,000 shares in our buff knot of Ealing.
29:28I've not heard of them.
29:29Um, I believe they went on to become Eurotronics in 1973.
29:33You're very well informed.
29:34Do you play the market?
29:36I dabble.
29:37Eurotronics, eh?
29:40That is exciting.
29:42I just wonder why your grandfather never came back for his share certificate.
29:45That's easy.
29:49Go then.
29:50He suffered a serious concussion in an air raid in 1941.
29:56Loss of memory.
29:58Followed by loss of memory.
30:01It's lucky we found his tin.
30:03Yes, so, uh, what do I have to do?
30:05Sign something?
30:06Uh, right.
30:07Are you his sole beneficiary?
30:09Oh, yes.
30:09I mean, Grandad didn't have very much to leave.
30:12He never bought his council flat.
30:14Said that was all a Thatcherite con trick on the working class.
30:17Yeah, well, we're all entitled to our political opinion.
30:20No matter how ignorant.
30:22Are you calling his Grandad ignorant?
30:24I thought you said he was your Grandad, too.
30:27Oh, yes.
30:30Careful, Ron.
30:31Are you calling my Grandad ignorant?
30:34Ron.
30:36Uh, well, look, as it happens, Grandad was ignorant.
30:42The thing is, he did leave me everything, as luck would have it.
30:45Here's a photocopy of the will.
30:46It was all his worldly goods, which were £57 in the post office.
30:50Oh, and his collection of Brentford Football Club programmes from 1937 to 1965,
30:55less the home game against Greensville.
30:56I'm not sure that's relevant, Gary.
31:00Yes?
31:01I'll be right out.
31:03Excuse me a moment.
31:05Thank you.
31:18Uh-oh.
31:20What do you mean, uh-oh?
31:21We're seriously rich.
31:22What's uh-oh about that?
31:24This memo from the manager in 1957.
31:27What about it?
31:28Well, it seems that the Arbuthnot brothers, Cecil and Harold,
31:32had a vicious bust-up after Harold found Cecil in bed with his wife.
31:36Oh!
31:38So, they dissolved the partnership and set up rival companies.
31:42Harold started Arbuthnot of Ealing Limited,
31:44and Cecil started Arbuthnot Electronics Limited.
31:47Oh, no.
31:49So, what happened?
31:50The shares were split.
31:51We only get a hundred thou each,
31:52and I've got to choose between a yacht and a sports car.
31:55What a bummer.
31:57It might be a bigger bummer than that, Ron.
31:58Listen.
31:59Since I have not been able to trace Mr. Sparrow,
32:02I am compelled to make a decision on his behalf.
32:05As a church-going man, I cannot, in all conscience,
32:07invest any of Mr. Sparrow's funds with the adulterer,
32:10so I will opt for Mr. Harold's new company.
32:13Which went on to flourish and become Eurotronics.
32:17Which went into liquidation 18 months later.
32:19Ah!
32:20Our life-stealer went on to become Eurotronics P.L.C.
32:25Sorry about that.
32:27Uh...
32:35Ah, I see.
32:37How disappointing.
32:39But I hope you'll accept that Mr. Major acted out of the highest of motives.
32:42Major?
32:43They made that uncoordinated, shambling idiot the manager,
32:47the man who couldn't even manage a tea tray.
32:49Are you all right?
32:51What? I was...
32:55Yes.
32:56I'm not.
32:58I really wish there was some way I could ease your disappointment.
33:01There is.
33:02Give us the key to the safe, close your eyes, and count to a thousand.
33:06I don't think head office would like that.
33:09I don't suppose you do mortgages, do you?
33:13Oh!
33:15Great episode.
33:17He was a fast reader, wasn't he?
33:20Coordinated, shambling idiot.
33:21See, look.
33:22Had to sort out a rubber.
33:24I mean, look how quickly he reads this letter.
33:27But look.
33:29One, two, three.
33:31I see.
33:33Three seconds to read that whole letter
33:35to get the whole thing about them splitting up and it no longer being the right thing.
33:40Damn.
33:41Damn, damn, damn.
33:42Well, that is, um...
33:46That's time travel for you.
33:47Never works in a way that you think it is going to work out for you.
33:52So, uh...
33:54You know, good on the writers there for that one.
33:56Although it would have been interesting had they succeeded with that.
34:01Whether there had been some sort of, um...
34:05Change of time travel kind of thing.
34:10Although...
34:13I am of the opinion that the time travel in this...
34:19Is more like...
34:20What it was in series five of Lost.
34:25So in that, the general idea is whatever happened, happened.
34:32You know, you going back in time.
34:33If you try and change the past, that doesn't change the future.
34:37Because that had always happened.
34:41And I think it's a similar kind of thing with this, you know.
34:45Because like, in one of the episodes last series, um...
34:48Like, how Gary met the Queen...
34:52Sorry, the King at the hospital.
34:55And, um...
34:57And so obviously there was that video recording of him and Phoebe and Reg and Eric and that.
35:03All in the present day.
35:06Now, had Gary not gone back before he watched that tape.
35:13It still would have been there.
35:14That tape would have been there.
35:15That footage of Gary would have been there.
35:18Would he have gone to do it as a result of him seeing that video?
35:23Quite possibly.
35:25Quite possibly would have been that.
35:27In a similar way to Gary going back and trying to speak...
35:31Well, not going back.
35:32He went to see that Phoebe of the present day.
35:36The Phoebe Sparrow who was in the 90s.
35:38Obviously they pulled the rug out from under us.
35:40Which was a great move on that behalf.
35:42Um, but yeah.
35:44That was a strong start to series two.
35:49And I wonder what kind of general overall storyline we're going to go for now for series two.
35:54Because Eric's dead.
35:56Which is an interesting development.
36:00So that is going to change the dynamics.
36:03Very much so.
36:05So I'm intrigued.
36:06So if you want to see episode two.
36:09It'll either be already out.
36:11Depending when you're watching this.
36:12Or if you are watching this beforehand.
36:14The second part is coming out later on today at 5pm.
36:19So you can check it out on the channel.
36:21And then obviously go back to the original YouTube videos after you've watched them.
36:25Drop your comments on there.
36:26Subscribe if you're new.
36:28But for today.
36:29My name's Kevin.
36:30I'm a geek.
36:31And you've been watching Kevin the Geek.
36:33Goodbye.
