00:00Right, as soon as we've had some grub, I'll take you for a spin along the front.
00:07And when we get back, I think they've got a male stripper for you.
00:12What?
00:13I'll make that last bit up.
00:14I want to go to Bounce.
00:15What are you on about?
00:21The trip to the beaches, D-Day.
00:24Really sorry, Bernie.
00:26You left it too late.
00:28I couldn't leave you all on your own.
00:31Unless...
00:32You have to.
00:33Where is he?
00:34He's disappeared off the face of the earth.
00:35He's in France.
00:36Bonjour.
00:37At 90.
00:38Well, he has done it before.
00:39Only then, of course, they were shooting at him.
00:40So determined to honour his fallen comrade, the D-Day veteran made a break for the coast
00:41and mounted what has now been dubbed the Great Escape.

01:23At your age, Adele, you cling to every second.
01:28And every second is worth clinging to.
01:31I'm sorry, really.
01:33I've been in the papers.

02:02I'd go anywhere with you.
02:04We have never wasted one second of our time together.
02:17Are you coming to bed?
02:20Yours or mine?
02:22Ooh.
