Part 1 of 4 of the unusual comedy drama from 1986. A mysterious and enigmatic stranger called Mr Pye arrives on the Isle of Sark. Having arranged to stay with the formidable Miss Dredger, he starts on the wrong foot by inviting Miss George, a loathed neighbour of hers, to ride with them in the horse and carriage. As he gets to know the other residents, such as the lovelorn artist Thorpe and free spirited Tanty, he begins to take over the running of Miss Dredger's home, much to her annoyance. But as she begins to warm to Mr Pye, she inquires why he has come to the island, and it is then that he tells her of his plans to convert the heathen islanders to the love of who he calls "Pal."
Starring Derek Jacobi, Judi Parfitt, Betty Marsden, Richard O'Callaghan, Robin McCaffrey, Patricia Hayes, Ralph Nossak, Amanda Reiss, Howard Lew Lewis, Sarah Dawson, Michael Turner, Trevor Cooper, Bill Monks, Michael Hamon, Jo Scott Matthews and Kevin Adams. This was originally broadcast on Channel 4 on March 2nd 1986 and filmed exclusively on the Isle of Sark. An unusual comedy drama with a fantasy element to it, this starts off fairly simply in this first episode and proves very entertaining as well as beautifully set. It's also hasn't been repeated since it's broadcast in 1986, so very rare indeed.
(Oh, if you are wondering where episode 2 is, it IS on here. It's just that Dailymotion has slapped a 18 certificate on it due to nudity in the episode. As it is, the episode on Dailymotion is here: https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x91ssu0. But to be able to see it you will have to turn off the age filter that is at the bottom of Dailymotion pages. For that, I suggest going to my Playlist page and finding the age filter that way - it'll be easier that way).

00:00Excuse me, ma'am, is this seat taken?
00:20Thank you.
00:25Thank you.
00:30Fares, please.
00:33A single to Sark, please.
00:36If you are just visiting the island, a return lasts you three months and saves you two shillings.
00:40The air is so mild and golden.
00:42The sky is so stainless, don't you agree?
00:45It's difficult to believe on a beautiful day like this,
00:48how the black gales of winter could whoop the sea into a mania,
00:52going up into such horrid hills and sinking again,
00:55making between Guernsey and Sark so dire the stretch of foam.
01:17Don't you agree?
01:18So you want a return?
01:19I believe I sit single.
01:21Oh, very well.
01:22Very well to you, my friend.
01:24Very well indeed.
01:51Very well.
02:20Oh, there.
02:22You're five minutes late.
02:25I told you I was meeting the ferry.
02:29I told you very distinctly I was meeting the 11 o'clock ferry.
02:37I have a paying guest arriving.
02:40No!
02:41Drive down to the harbour.
02:43I don't want you driving in my garden, churning up my gravel.
02:52Get along, horse.
02:53You're late.
03:03What made you want to be an artist, Mr Thorpe?
03:06Oh, hello, Pepe.
03:09What made you want to be a horse and carriage driver?
03:12Don't I earn me living somehow?
03:14Well, it's just the same with me.
03:16Your family send you money to live on, don't they?
03:19Who told you that?
03:21Don't know.
03:22I heard it up at the boozer, I think.
03:23They send you money to stay out of England, don't they?
03:27You would think that the 289 residents of this island
03:30would have something better to talk about than my private finances,
03:33wouldn't you?
03:35You meeting the ferry?
03:37Yeah, Miss Dredge is expecting a visitor.
03:40Here comes Miss Tanti.
03:42All in purple she is today.
03:44What's she doing?
03:46Cycling up the jetty.
03:47Come to meet another one of her lovers, I bet.
03:50Now, don't you talk like that.
03:52You're worse than an old woman with your malicious gossip.
03:55Not me, Mr Thorpe.
03:56It's them in the pub.
03:58They say she had so many men in her house last summer
04:01that she ought to go in the guidebooks
04:03as a sight worth a special detour.
04:09Just the right size.
04:11Oh, yes.
04:13This will do very nicely.
04:16Yes, you are absolutely right, great pal.
04:39¶¶
05:09¶¶
05:40¶¶
05:47The name is Dredger.
05:49All clear.
05:53Mr Pyne, I imagine.
05:55Who else, dear lady?
05:57The carriage is waiting to take you to my house.
06:00What have you brought with you?
06:02Love.
06:04Just love.
06:09Have you brought anything else besides the luggage I can see?
06:12No. Fruit drop.
06:20If you'll come with me, we'll find our carriage.
06:23Undoubtedly.
06:24You can't, miss.
06:25No, miss.
06:26This carriage is ordered, miss.
06:28You should have phoned from Guernsey, miss.
06:30Telephoned?
06:31From Guernsey?
06:33You think I'm made of money?
06:36Could we not offer the lady a lift?
06:39I beg your pardon?
06:41Well, the lady seems to have trouble walking.
06:44Miss George has trouble with everything and everyone.
06:49She's a fat, selfish, horrible old woman.
06:53And takes advantage of everyone.
07:02Yes, I agree, old pal.
07:04Gently does it.
07:06Gently does it, my friend.
07:15Pardon me, young man.
07:17Whoa, there. Whoa.
07:20Now, ladies.
07:23Ladies, we are all here to help one another, are we not?
07:27What else is there in life?
07:29I come here to your island with my heart full of love.
07:33Not that I wish to rush you, and indeed, as you see,
07:36I'm holding my horses.
07:39But please, madam.
07:44Please, take my place.
07:51There we are.
07:53You're obviously a gentleman, sir.
07:55Oh, I prefer to walk.
07:57There's plenty of room for you two ladies in the carriage.
08:00You can chatter happily together.
08:02We can't have them both in the carriage, sir.
08:05Miss George is all the horse can manage,
08:07with the baggage and everything.
08:09She's not as young as she was, sir.
08:11What has my age got to do with it?
08:13I was talking about the horse.
08:19I have no intention of sharing the vehicle with Miss George.
08:24It appears she has done very well for herself.
08:27I order the carriage, but she squats in it.
08:31However, she can pay for it.
08:34I will do nothing of the sort,
08:36not with your luggage all around my feet.
08:39Oh, my goodness me!
08:42I only landed two minutes ago,
08:44and already I have this ugly knot.
08:47Oh, my goodness me!
08:50I only landed two minutes ago,
08:52and already I have this ugly knot to untie.
08:55Ah, now, I would have offered you a sweet, Miss George.
08:58Miss George, my dear, I would have offered you a sweet as well.
09:01But I am not going to offer them.
09:03Neither of you are worthy of the gesture in your present mood.
09:06See? Here are two sweets in my hand.
09:09But they are not for you.
09:11They are for Dobbing.
09:20Now, you will notice that I don't return them to my little box,
09:23because they are tainted.
09:25Tainted by the unpleasant tone
09:27which you two ladies have used to one another.
09:30I shall speak to you both later.
09:50I'll just walk on up and see how my chicken volavons are doing.
10:14You take a rest.
10:16Deposit Miss George at the top.
10:19She has unfortunate legs.
10:21Then take Mr. Pye to my house.
10:23Yes, ma'am.
10:24Where I will settle with you.
10:30Goodness me!
10:32She has legs like pistons.
10:41There!
10:52You get off here, Miss George.
10:55Miss George!
11:00What do you think, sir?
11:02Got to do what Miss Dredger says.
11:05Madam!
11:08Madam!
11:13I want to go to my house.
11:17Now, you know what Miss Dredger says.
11:19Morning, Major.
11:20Morning.
11:21What's going on?
11:26Now, madam, let's not be greedy.
11:31Out you get.
11:52Tell me, Miss George.
11:54Do you want me to be cross with you?
12:16Good-bye, dear lady.
12:19I can see that I shall have to talk to you.
12:26All I brought with me, he said, is love.
12:28Love.
12:29Well, really.
12:30There are some things that simply are not discussed.
12:33Unless one wishes to be offensive and embarrassing.
12:36Like art.
12:37Or religion.
12:39Don't you agree?
12:41I don't want any of that nonsense here.
12:45I mean, I want...
12:47You haven't done it again, have you, Kaka?
12:50What's got that?
12:51You know exactly what I mean.
12:53I can't believe that despite all my instructions to the contrary,
12:56you are still loading it out on newspaper.
12:58You have.
12:59Only one call.
13:00Don't tell ridiculous lies, Kaka.
13:02That is today's daily telegraph.
13:03Please, Kaka, go home.
13:05Oh!
13:06He rushed through my door.
13:08That may very well be, but you've already ruined my smoke-deal patty.
13:12Yes, I know your patsy properly.
13:16And your death.
13:17And you just had a throat operation.
13:19But I can't be sympathetic all the time,
13:21and frankly, Kaka, your idea of a chicken bologne is not mine.
13:26Yes, you may well talk about the milk of human kindness,
13:30but as far as you're concerned,
13:32my milk of human kindness has curdled.
13:40Oh!
13:45Well, it's like you always say, Connie.
13:48If you want anything done, do it yourself.
14:06As for you, Mr Pye, if you don't like my arrangements,
14:09you can just take the next boat home or find other accommodation.
14:13Arrangements!
14:15My dear Miss Dredger are perfect.
14:18What a beautiful house you have.
14:21Oh, look at that charming veranda.
14:25Now, we can sit there together, you and I,
14:28and talk about all sorts of things.
14:31What a wonderful view.
14:35And that enchanting hairy palm tree.
14:38Oh, my dear lady.
14:40Just the sort of home that I've always dreamed about.
14:44Oh, yes.
14:46Now, there you are, my young charioteer.
14:50Thank you, sir.
14:52Oh, but your pretty gravel path is in need of my instant attention.
14:57Where do you keep your rake, Miss Dredger?
14:59First things first.
15:01I am not setting foot inside your beautiful house
15:04till I have given you the finest drive in the Channel Islands.
15:08The rake, please, Miss Dredger. Don't keep me waiting.
15:10Mr Pye, I am not used to...
15:12No one is, dear lady.
15:15No one is.
15:19Oh!
15:21Here we are.
15:25Ah!
15:28Da-da-da-dee-da-dee-da-da-dum
15:34Bring me my bow of burning gold
15:41Bring me my arrows of desire
15:46All things bright and beautiful
15:56All creatures great and small
16:00All things wise and wonderful
16:04The Lord God made them all
16:17All things wise and wonderful
16:24The Lord God made them all
16:30Mr Pye!
16:36Oh, Miss Dredger, you do look seedy.
16:47How dare he!
16:53How dare you!
16:55Who are you?
16:59I'll have no more of you!
17:06You are poorly, Miss Dredger, so you will now go straight to bed.
17:11You are poorly, Miss Dredger, so you will now go straight to bed.
17:16I'll bring you up some lunch as soon as it's ready.
17:19There's no need for you to show me where things are.
17:22I understand, houses.
17:34Come in.
17:37I found my room, and what a charming room it is.
17:42Here we are.
17:44Um, now, if you just lower your knees, Miss Dredger.
17:54The tray can lie at a more convenient angle.
17:57There we are.
17:59And I found your kitchen, with everything so well arranged.
18:03Now, I'll just pop down and put the finishing touches to the rather bizarre little course that is to follow.
18:09There we are.
18:12Really, Conny, this is too utterly feeble of you.
18:23I'm sorry.
18:25I'm sorry.
18:27I'm sorry.
18:29I'm sorry.
18:31I'm sorry.
18:33I'm sorry.
18:35I'm sorry.
18:37I'm sorry.
18:39I'm sorry.
18:46Come wind, come weather,
18:51There's no discouragement
18:57Shall make him once relent
19:02His first avowed intent
19:07To be a pilgrim
19:17No.
19:19No!
19:21How can you let a total stranger take you over like this?
19:26What's come over you?
19:31All things wise and wonderful
19:38The Lord God made them all
19:44Here we are again.
20:07Here we are again.
20:37Here we are again.
21:07Here we are again.
21:09Here we are again.
21:11Here we are again.
21:35So, this is where the wisdom of the soul begins.
21:39Soak it in, my friend.
21:41Soak it in.
22:01Woof, woof!
22:03Good morning, Major Hammerstock.
22:06Ah, good morning.
22:08I hope this weather isn't ruining your holiday, Mr. Pye.
22:12I'm not here on holiday, Major.
22:14Are you not?
22:15No.
22:16I'm here to convert the inhabitants of this island to love.
22:20That is my mission.
22:23Why is you taking on rather a lot?
22:27I have no qualms.
22:29All my life, you see.
22:31I've been in training for this task.
22:39Honestly, Kaka.
22:41Why did I ever allow you to persuade me to buy an Albanian oven?
22:49No, Kaka.
22:50It needs more than slight adjustment.
22:52It needs to be totally destroyed.
22:58Well, if, as you say, the wind is in the wrong direction,
23:02it has been in the wrong direction
23:04every day for the past nine years.
23:08Kolas, Kolas Kanichi.
23:13Eight years, then.
23:15Whatever.
23:16You know in your black Albanian heart
23:18that beastly Balkan boiler is capable of only one function,
23:21asphyxiating us.
23:24Unbelievable.
23:26My paying guest is talking to the mad Major now.
23:30Goodbye, Major.
23:31He's spoken to more people in the three weeks he's been here
23:34than I have in the past 15 years.
23:36Why does he have to be so friendly?
23:38Right.
23:41He strikes up a conversation with everyone who passes the house.
23:46Oh, no.
23:47Not her.
23:48He's not going to talk to Miss George.
23:51He is.
23:52He is!
23:54Oh, no.
23:55I can't have this.
23:56I'm not going to allow him to talk to that monstrous creature.
24:00Mr Pye!
24:03A word with you, please.
24:06I'm not Miss George.
24:07I'm not Mr Pye.
24:08I'm not going to allow you to talk to that horse.
24:15You look agitated, dear lady.
24:17Oh, is it my saying good morning to the enemy
24:22that has made you look so seedy?
24:25I am very pleased with all the little jobs
24:27you have done for me around the house, Mr Pye.
24:30I wouldn't like you to think me ungrateful,
24:33but I really cannot allow you to talk to that woman.
24:37Weren't you once very good friends?
24:39Yes, but we have ceased to be fond of one another.
24:43We hate each other, in fact.
24:45Because you won't let her walk through the bottom of your garden.
24:49You have obviously been soaking up all the gossip of the island, Mr Pye.
24:54The reason I do not wish you to communicate with Miss George
24:58is that she will interpret it as weakness on my part,
25:01and I despise all weakness, Mr Pye, of the flesh and the spirit.
25:06I will say no more, except that if you speak to her again,
25:10I shall have to ask you to find other accommodation. Thank you.
25:17I rue the day I bought that stove from your brother in Goracast.
25:23I think the time has come, dear lady, for me to tell you why.
25:28You must have wondered why I should come to Sark alone, without a season.
25:33Well, to be frank, Mr Pye, it had crossed my mind.
25:37But I never pry into the private lives of my guests.
25:42I'm sorry to shout just now, but Miss George does rouse me,
25:46and when roused, I am rather formidable, so I'm told.
25:50Oh, I don't find you formidable, dear lady. Indomitable, yes,
25:54but I love that in a woman. I love your fierceness.
25:58You do?
26:00And I need these qualities to help me.
26:03Help you do what?
26:06To turn this island inside out like a salted leech.
26:11You see, it's for the islanders' good that I've come here.
26:15Yes, it's for their good.
26:17That I should hold a spiritual mandate over this rock
26:20until finally I can turn the searchlight of my love upon my ultimate quality.
26:25Which is?
26:27The human heart.
26:29And with the great pal behind me, how can I fail?
26:33The great pal?
26:35Oh, you will know him by another name.
26:39No, don't shut it. The smoke.
26:41No, no.
26:44The wind is about to change.
26:46No, it always blows from the east at this time of the year.
26:50No.
26:56Well, while I'm waiting for that first coat of paint to dry,
26:59I think I'll go down to the inn for a glass of ale.
27:04When I return, perhaps we can go for a swim and a picnic in Souffleur Cove.
27:09What a ridiculous Albanian peasant you are.
27:13An act of God.
27:16It's superstitious nonsense like that which lost you the war against the Greeks.
27:38THE GREEK GENERAL
28:01Morning.
28:02How about a date?
28:04Four?
28:05Good morning, Mr Pye.
28:08Morning.
28:17You have to go soon, sir.
28:19Daphne's galloping days are over.
28:34Goodbye.
28:36I'll be over again.
28:38Don't worry.
28:39I'll be over again.
28:41Get another man, you've entertained all night.
28:45It's all.
28:46You gave me quite a turn leaping out at me like that.
28:50Last week it was that ginger-haired bloke from the Proulx.
28:53The week before, that double-glazing salesman.
28:55And the week before, that...
28:57Oh, Tanti, I love you!
29:01You're too serious for me, dear.
29:03I've told you before, you're too stitched up.
29:06You've too many bloody buttons.
29:09No more!
29:12Tanti, I love you.
29:14Please, don't look so pathetic, darling.
29:17What else can I do when you keep rejecting me like that?
29:21See what we can do for you later.
29:24Oh, Tanti, I want to eat you.
29:26Next week, perhaps.
29:28I must have my bath now.
29:33Yes.
30:03I must have my bath.
30:34Do you know that's a very...
30:36... arresting piece of work, young man?
30:38Oh, thanks.
30:40Do you know you're the first painter I've met in Sark?
30:44I don't know what I am.
30:46It's all a racket.
30:48To be this, painting suggests,
30:50you're a bit of a...
30:52... you're a bit of a...
30:54... you're a bit of a...
30:55... you're a bit of a...
30:57... you're a bit of a...
30:59... you're a bit of a...
31:01To be this, painting suggests,
31:03the work of a man who wonders
31:05what has happened to all his splendid dreams.
31:10Well, yes, you're right, I often do.
31:12Yes, you feel that life has passed you by,
31:15that somewhere or another a great mistake has been made.
31:19I do, yes.
31:20That is exactly how I feel.
31:23How did you know?
31:25Oh, one of the usual things.
31:27Let me buy you a rum and pep.
31:31How do you know I drink rum and pep?
31:33Well, as I say, one feels things.
31:36We transmit to each other.
31:40If I have a song in my heart,
31:43it can be conveyed.
32:02Oh, tell me, pretty maiden,
32:06are there any more at home like you?
32:11Hmm.
32:27I say,
32:29this is such good teen fun, isn't it?
32:33In fact, I've never felt so vigorous as I have
32:35since you've been staying with me, Mr...
32:37Oh, no.
32:39I can't go on being so formal
32:42with just the two of us in a canoe.
32:45My first name is Harold.
32:47Can't be that intimate.
32:49My upbringing, I suppose.
32:53Well, in that case, just call me Chief.
32:58First class.
33:00Chief!
33:01Spot on!
33:04Sorry about that.
33:06Always found it difficult to be familiar with men,
33:10even when I was the height of my confidence.
33:13Which was when?
33:14Oh, donkeys years ago.
33:19I suppose it was when I was captain
33:21of St Winifred's hockey team.
33:24So I have struck a chord with you, I see.
33:27All I can say to you, Chief,
33:30is if you want a fighting pilgrim in this mission of yours,
33:34you could do worse than yours truly.
33:37I think you'd make a wonderful pilgrim, Sarah.
33:40We're a military family, actually.
33:56Now, forgive me, Miss George.
33:58Forgive that creature!
34:00There's as much chance of my doing that
34:02as doing the dance of the seven veils
34:04in a Belgian fruit market!
34:07Oh!
34:09MUSIC PLAYS
34:25Home for the shore, sail up home for the shore
34:30Heed not the rolling waves, but bend to the oar
34:35Saving the lifeboat, sailor, come eat a big boar
34:40Tiddly-widdly-piddly, sailor
34:43Pull for the shore, pull for the shore
34:47Sailor, pull on your clothes
34:50Let's have some supper, sailor
34:52Sausages and loaves
34:54Snack it safe in the kitchen, sailor
34:57There'll be grub galore
34:59Not to mention coffee, sailor
35:02Pull for the shore
35:05I can't just phone her and ask her to forgive me.
35:09She'd never believe it, for a start.
35:12But I'm only asking you to make the first move.
35:15That's all. Just phone her.
35:18And invite her to a picnic.
35:21My dear.
35:24The old pal will help.
35:27Now, of course, Miss George is going to be very startled when you call her.
35:31Just as you were startled when I asked you to call.
35:34But you see, you have conquered that.
35:37You have the strength of heart.
35:40I have?
35:42Call her.
35:44And draw the festering thorn from the flesh of her soul.
35:47Yes. Yes.
35:49Let us wash her white.
35:51Let us find that little something in her heart that is not wholly squalid.
35:55Oh, chief.
35:57Oh, holy smoke.
35:59How can we convert others to our faith?
36:02Our faith of love and laughter.
36:04If you were thinking badly of Miss George.
36:06I know. I know.
36:08Scoop yourself clean, sailor.
36:10I know. Yes.
36:11I must. Yes.
36:12I will. Yes.
36:13Drain away your bad blood.
36:16Go into the fight impeccable, immaculate.
36:19Oh, Connie, just think of it.
36:21Your one-time enemies all but dazzled in the blaze of your charity.
36:31So...
36:34You will phone her, sailor.
36:39Simply invite her to a midnight picnic in Derrible Bay.
36:43Sometime next week.
36:45You'll call her later with the details.
36:52Oh, holy smoke.
36:55I feel...
36:58I mean...
37:01Couldn't you phone her, chief?
37:04I am not her enemy.
37:06It's not I who denies her the shortcut across your garden
37:09that would save her poor, fat little leg so many extra miles a week.
37:13To me, she is just another future crusader.
37:18Future crusader.
37:20Like everyone else on this island.
37:22But... But is a word that revolts me, sailor.
37:25But she'll never get down to the beach at Derrible Bay.
37:28It's too steep.
37:30She's 18 stone.
37:32She'll just have to try.
37:34We will help her.
37:36The great pal will help me.
37:39The great pal is within this telephone.
37:42He's within your body.
37:44He's within the very wire that will join your two voices.
37:50It's 5-7.
37:53Easy to remember.
38:09Hello?
38:11Is that Miss George?
38:13Naturally.
38:15Who else would it be?
38:17Quite.
38:19What do you mean, quite?
38:21Who are you, anyway?
38:23The name is Dredger.
38:31Well?
38:33Yes, thank you.
38:35Very well, indeed.
38:37And you?
38:39Humility, sailor.
38:41Be clever, that's not love.
38:43I told you several years ago
38:47that I had no wish to see your face again
38:51or hear your voice.
38:53They're both in terrible condition.
38:56I will take your word for that.
38:59But I have no wish to speak...
39:02Miss George,
39:04are you free to join us as a guest at Derrible Bay
39:07for a midnight picnic?
39:11Are you drunk?
39:18All night beach party at Derrible Bay.
39:21The food drop's having a beach party.
39:24It should be great, eh?
39:29Hello, boys. See you on the beach, I hope.
39:34Morning, Lady Corkpowder.
39:37Morning, Mr. Clyde.
39:41Good morning, Mrs. Rice.
39:43Good morning, Mr. Clyde.
39:45Morning, Mr. Clyde.
39:47For all the saints
39:49Who from their labours rest
39:52Who be by faith
39:55Before the world confess
39:59By name of Jesus
40:02Be forever blessed
40:05Alleluia
40:09Alleluia
40:13Morning, Mr. Dubois.
40:15Morning, Mr. Clyde.
40:17Everything according to plan?
40:19Yes, thanks, Bobby. She's coming on fine.
40:21Splendid.
40:23Right, let's finish it up.
40:25That's it.
40:28Ah!
40:32Miss George.
40:36Good morning.
40:41My dear.
40:45Oh, what beautiful rings.
40:50Oh, what beautiful rings.
40:54But you must be so very lonely,
40:57Living here all by yourself.
41:00Wouldn't you like to join me
41:03And never be lonely again?
41:07Your life is only just beginning,
41:11You lucky old thing.
41:14I'm sorry, Chief, I just can't cope.
41:17I've been making hamburgers
41:19For three days for your picnic,
41:21And Kaka has just told me
41:23You've invited 300 people.
41:25Exactly. Half a hamburger each.
41:27We must have more help.
41:29I just can't make another
41:31150 hamburgers by tonight.
41:33I can't. I can't.
41:35Your hamburger worries are over.
41:39It's Miss George.
41:41What's happening, Chief?
41:43It is necessary.
41:45I want her to move in here.
41:47Move in?
41:49Look, Chief, I've eaten humble pie.
41:52I've said I'm sorry for upsetting her.
41:54I'm happy to let bygones be bygones.
41:56Why does she have to move in?
41:58Do you know about her dirty habits?
42:00We have decided.
42:02We? You never consulted me once.
42:04Oh, when I say we,
42:06I am referring to the pal and myself.
42:08We have decided
42:10That she is to be our first martyr.
42:13Oh.
42:15Oh, yes.
42:17You mean she's not going to stay long?
42:19Well, the great pal
42:21Never tells me his future plans.
42:23He leaves tomorrow.
42:25Till tomorrow.
42:30Ah, Pepe, bring them in here.
42:32Put them down.
42:34Very well.
42:38There you are, Miss.
42:44Ah.
42:46Oh.
42:48I say, Connie,
42:50Is this your plum jam?
42:53Mm!
42:55Mm!
42:57It is.
42:59You always make the most superb plum jam.
43:05How...
43:07How am I going to get down that frightful cliff tonight?
43:10You are going to get down there, Miss George,
43:12In a way that will never be forgotten.
43:15You're going to make history.
43:17Spiritual history.
43:19It's wonderful jam.
43:21I can't go down that steep path.
43:24How's it to be done?
43:26With faith in our pal.
43:28Actually, chief,
43:30I'd like to know myself.
43:32The great pal knows.
43:34But does he know the state of my feet?
43:36He knows everything.
43:38Well, now, I'm going to leave you two ladies
43:40To re-knit the bonds of your friendship.
43:42Must you go, chief?
43:44Oh, my dear sailor,
43:46No midwife is more at the mercy of being shaken from her bed
43:49Than the man who follows the flights of his own soul.
43:52The man of private faith.
43:54The sleuth of glory.
44:09I must say, Connie,
44:11You're looking awfully good these days.
44:14You mean my face no longer reminds you of score-fell pike?
44:22I should never have said those things about you.
44:25Certainly not to that cow, Mrs. Rice.
44:32Forgive me.
44:35Forgive me.
44:42If you don't want me,
44:44I'll go.
44:47It's just that Mr. Pye...
44:52Mr. Pye!
44:54Mr. Pye!
44:56You did tell me to come here.
44:58Indeed I did.
45:00Give up everything I said and come here.
45:02I'll give you a different kind of world
45:04If you can forget the old hatreds.
45:07We plough the fields and scatter...
45:11He's so persuasive, you see.
45:17Shall I leave?
45:21No, Agnes.
45:23We have need of you.
45:25I need you to eat some more of my jam.
45:29Oh, how kind.
45:33Come on, you chaps. Keep it going.
45:35That's the stuff.
45:37We're going to need plenty of this for the time of night.
45:40That's the best.
45:42That's marvellous.
45:47Here we go.
45:49Testing.
45:51Testing. One, two...
45:54Did you want us to put it fast, boys?
45:57Testing. One, two, three.
46:09Just testing the whisky.
46:11Got fearfully shaken on the way down.
46:14Here you are.
46:16Bring it all over here.
46:20Why invite the whole island to a party?
46:23Half of them aren't speaking to the other half.
46:25It seems very silly to me.
46:27The chief does not make mistakes, Mrs. Rice.
46:30Nothing that he does is silly.
46:32You will not understand that, but you will later.
46:35I do, you will.
46:37Of course, I will.
46:39I will.
46:41You will later. I do, you will.
46:43Of course, you're a tremendous admirer of Mr. Pye's, aren't you, Connie?
46:47Practically a disciple.
46:49Jolly well right.
46:51He has lifted me up.
46:53More than he could do to Miss Dawes.
47:07That's nice, Gerald.
47:11I wish I could draw.
47:13I thought that was the only thing you could bloody do.
47:21You whore.
47:23Ah, my young body cherry.
47:26Everything to hand with Miss George?
47:28Yes, Pepe and I are in constant touch on the walkie-talkie.
47:31Good, excellent.
47:33Oh, it's all taking shape.
47:35Oh, I say.
47:37All this grandeur.
47:39It's making me quite excited.
47:44I think a mistake has been made with me, Major.
47:47A mistake as vast as the sky.
47:50But mercifully as intangible, so I wouldn't get too depressed.
47:54Hello, Red Leader. This is Pegasus. Over.
47:58Hello. Hello. Red Leader here.
48:01Go ahead, Pegasus. Over.
48:04Das galetti, Miss George.
48:06Should be in second position in ten minutes. Over.
48:12Mr Pye said I had to wear this.
48:15Something to do with innocence.
48:18I don't know what he has in mind.
48:21How I am going to get down to that beach with my feet.
48:27And this night is beyond me.
48:31Oh, sometimes I think...
48:34I think that his mysteries are just a little naughty.
48:40Carry on, boy.
48:42Hello, Red Leader. Pegasus has just taken off.
48:46Thank you, Pegasus.
48:50Message received.
48:53Roger. Over and out.
49:02How I am to get down with my feet.
49:06And this night is quite beyond me.
50:01How I am to get down with my feet.
50:06And this night is quite beyond me.
50:11How I am to get down with my feet.
50:16And this night is quite beyond me.
50:21How I am to get down with my feet.
50:26How I am to get down with my feet.
