TVTranscript
00:30The Granville, fetch a cloth. The swallows are leaving Granville, and they're leaving it all over our window. Get it off.
01:00There she goes, Granville, in her nurse's gladiator's manual, with her black bag neatly laundered and her blouse tightly packed.
01:23Rushing away to someone's bedside? One day, with any luck, it might be mine.
01:28Let's hope not, she's a midwife.
01:32Come on.
01:53I'll kill that flaming mouse.
01:57What gets me is, if he can move like that, why hasn't he got a number on his jersey?
02:02He's faster than you are.
02:04Well, I know that, don't I? But it's no good hanging around here waiting for a cheese-eating tortoise, is it?
02:10Come on, help me get these tins picked up.
02:13Come on, help me get these tins picked up.
02:16Do you realise it's half past six, and yet there'll be some silly fools still in bed?
02:21I mean, you can't believe it, can you?
02:23Well, they could be down here, you know, having a ball with all these old tins.
02:26Listen, Granville, just remember that as my nephew, all these old tins will be yours, you know, when I'm gone.
02:33Ah, yes, but will I be able to withstand the notoriety?
02:37I mean, they'll be nudging each other when I walk down the street.
02:39They'll be saying, oh, look, there he goes, you see him?
02:43Well, you wouldn't believe it to look at him, but he's rolling in old tins.
02:46You see, there's no labels on these tins.
02:49Well, we don't know that, do we? They might be on the inside.
02:54I like that.
02:56That is ingenious.
02:58Well, it would stop them falling off, wouldn't it, and finishing up like this with no labels on them.
03:02You know all that stuff, you've got that rotten oak, you know, that fire-damaged stock, isn't it?
03:06The price was right.
03:07How do you know the price was right if you don't know what's in them?
03:10Because my hand automatically started to bend.
03:14I've got a flair for this sort of work, you know.
03:17When I'm on the threshold of a reasonable profit, a razor-sharp instinct takes over.
03:22I'm under the control of something powerful but primitive, like the VAT inspector.
03:29You don't wonder what's in them.
03:31Well, that's the beauty of it, isn't it? They're full of mysterious promise, aren't they?
03:34They're a bit like Gladys Emmanuel's blouse, you know them.
03:38Only a damn sight easier to open, I can tell you.
03:42Look, don't you worry about what's in them, let me worry about what's in them.
03:47I haven't been in this trade all my life without developing an ear, you know.
03:55Me Mulligatonian leak.
04:05Morning, Granville.
04:08Morning, Gloria.
04:35Ha, ha!
04:43Ha, ha! Fetch your cloth.
04:48You know, during the war, Herbert Ogden spent a whole week's wages on a land girl we wiggled like that.
04:56Why?
04:57From Darlington.
04:59All he got was a tip on what to do with his broccoli.
05:05I hope, I hope she's back.
05:08I'll just wander over casually.
05:17You were out early this morning, Gladys Emmanuel, fresh from your lonely warm bed.
05:22I never said it was lonely.
05:24Don't you ever make a wish that you'd wake up one morning and find a handsome local shopkeeper in it?
05:31No.
05:32Time is passing us by, you know. It's no longer springtime.
05:37Why don't we get engaged before we both got a moustache?
05:44Well, I can still look at your legs without thinking about orthopedic shoes.
05:49Come on, let's strike while the iron's still lukewarm.
05:56I can't get engaged right now. In half an hour, I've got to go to Charnley Street and have a baby.
06:02Listen, why don't you come over one night and rub me chest with Vic, eh?
06:08You know, to tell you the truth, I've been thinking a lot about us two lately.
06:13Not the same as actually doing it, though, is it?
06:19You know, I don't know why some folks say let the devil take the iron most.
06:24As far as I'm concerned, he can get in the queue.
06:28How can I be sure you really fancy me?
06:30That you're not just trying to stop me order going to the supermarket round the corner?
06:34I want you to marry me, Gladys Emmanuel.
06:38There's nobody appreciates your shape more than a member of the Gregorovs' Federation.
06:44I don't know what it would look like with a bit of parsley around it.
06:49You'll stop at nothing, will you? You shower me with gifts.
06:54Last time, it was half a pound of butter, way past its expiry date.
07:09We were meant for each other.
07:12A man with a set stutter needs a big target to make love to.
07:17It's horrible the tongue he's got.
07:19Who cleans the nipples on your windscreen watch for you?
07:23I do. Me. Devoted heartbreaker.
07:27Have you no words of encouragement for me at all?
07:31Save me a small brown loaf, unsliced, and two large tea cakes.
07:36I've got one reservation.
07:39Have you? What's that?
07:40Well, you have to promise to wear something a bit more playful than them.
07:45Get off, you cheeky thing. They're me mothers.
07:56Yes, she showed me the baby last week.
08:00I don't think it's his.
08:02It looks more like him that comes to read the meter.
08:05Well, they're in some very awkward places, them meters, you know.
08:08He knows his way around.
08:09Oh, I'm sure.
08:10Oh, that reminds me, Mrs Blewett.
08:12We've got some very good value in tin food this morning.
08:16What is it?
08:17This one? Well, that's...
08:20It's very good value, Mrs Blewett.
08:23It's no use to me.
08:24I'm not looking for things I can keep.
08:26Oh, well, that's just as well with your husband popping off quickly like he did.
08:30We never know what he's up to.
08:32I'm not looking for things I can keep.
08:34Oh, well, that's just as well with your husband popping off quickly like he did.
08:37We never know when we'll be taken, or whither is our destination.
08:42No, still, I should have thought he'd have had some idea, him being a shasharabang driver.
08:47I've seen them taken in the fullness and the pride.
08:51Oh, I know.
08:52One minute they're on top of the world, and the next minute there's this awful figure in black.
08:56They're beckoning them towards a breathalyser.
09:01Did you know they buried old Scrooby last Tuesday?
09:03Old Scroo... Old Scroo... Old Scroo... Did they?
09:06Who? I didn't know he died.
09:09Neither did she.
09:11He sat there on the settee for three hours staring at her.
09:17He never was very talkative, though, was he?
09:20No, I mean, he wasn't.
09:21I once ran over him on the shop bike, right across his foot, and he never said a word.
09:25He just hit me with his crutch.
09:28It wasn't my fault, I just came round the corner, and there he was, trying to strangle this kid.
09:32Oh, yes, he always knew how to command respect in the young, I'll say that.
09:37And he looks like death across at number 29.
09:40Oh, dear.
09:41They come at nine o'clock on Thursday night with an ambulance and took him away.
09:45They're all expecting him back, but I told her.
09:48He looks yellow to me.
09:50That means kidneys.
09:52I wouldn't give you tumps for his kidneys.
09:55How much is your boiled ham?
10:00Well, it's a bit more expensive than his kidneys,
10:03but it's a bit of choice stuff, they'll never take that away in an ambulance.
10:07I'll have a quarter.
10:08Right, I think you'll enjoy it, Mrs Blewett.
10:11Aye, I expect so.
10:13Hey, and speaking of a bit of choice stuff,
10:16have you seen her round at 87 lately?
10:1987?
10:2087?
10:25Isn't she the one with the...
10:27That's the one, yes.
10:29How is that new lodger?
10:31Not as fit as she is.
10:33I wonder how the husband's taking it.
10:36Very infrequently, by the sound of it.
10:43Her at 85 said she's heard him playing Scrabble till gone midnight.
10:48Well, there's no good will come of that.
10:50I mean, that sort of thing's bound to finish up in a four-letter word, isn't it?
10:55Well, I mean, have you ever known her interested in spelling before?
10:59When she sent me that vicious letter,
11:01she spelt nosy in nosy old bag with a Z.
11:04She never did, did she?
11:06Hey!
11:07Would you, my mind, not stop taking through my legs, please?
11:14Wasn't there anything else then, Mrs Blewett?
11:16There was a lot, but nothing I could repeat to you.
11:19Oh, I see. Well, that'll be 97p, love.
11:22Thank you.
11:23Oh, don't bother about the 3p.
11:25You can owe it me.
11:26Oh, that...
11:32Get that in the till quick before she realises she's been done.
11:47I wish you'd put it in.
11:49You know, I'm terrified of that spring clip.
11:53So much for to teach yourself kung fu.
11:5698 weekly parts.
11:58If you ask me, you've got more weekly parts now than when you started.
12:03Hey, who was that raver that Mrs Blewett was on about?
12:06You know, her at number 87.
12:07Now, listen, I don't want you thinking about number 87.
12:10You keep right away from number 87.
12:13I've seen negroes going in there and coming out looking quite pale.
12:21I mean, her mother was just the same.
12:23During the war, I had to admonish her in front of the entire street
12:26when I was an air raid warden.
12:28She was showing a couple of chinks in her upper story.
12:31During the war, everyone was the same.
12:33Ordinary people went ga-ga-ga-ga-ga.
12:37Wish I had a bit of frenzy in my life.
12:39Well, keep your fingers crossed for me.
12:41Maybe you'll get that ma-mouse up your trouser leg.
12:45Do you think I'll ever find the time to get married?
12:47Why bother, eh?
12:48Why bother?
12:49Your father never did.
12:55Mother said that he died in an accident.
12:59I think he just used that as an excuse.
13:03Now, come on, give me that pound, Nolan.
13:05Let's get it in the till before it fades.
13:09Oh!
13:14Hey, that reminds me, Jaws is on this week at the audience.
13:17How do, Granville?
13:24How do, Gloria?
13:28Go, Granville, fetch your cloth and wipe that smile off your face.
13:39You don't know you're born.
13:41Don't know much about what causes it, either.
13:45Do you know that things were so hard in my day
13:48that people from Bratford used to go looking for work in Pakistan?
13:56But what is the point of being on the threshold of life
13:59if you've always got to wear a flaming penny?
14:01Kids should have less pocket money, that's what I say.
14:05I mean, look at that Gloria.
14:07She's got no idea what I look like in trousers.
14:10I've never had any of the things that other young men take for granted.
14:13You better not have have had, either.
14:16If I ever catch you ever having have had, you will be in trouble.
14:20You don't seem to realise it's a grave responsibility.
14:23Having a nephew who keeps getting himself emotionally knotted.
14:26Well, what about you?
14:27I've never had any of the things that other young men take for granted.
14:30You better not have have had, either.
14:32Having a nephew who keeps getting himself emotionally knotted.
14:35Well, what about you and the nurse?
14:36Oh, yes.
14:37You know, if I don't marry her soon, I shall have to buy a new electric blanket.
14:41Halt! Seconds out!
14:50The usual, Mr Bristol.
14:57The usual, Mr Bristol!
15:03I'm sorry, I didn't see you coming.
15:05What do you want, the usual?
15:08I'll have the usual.
15:10Oh, that's unusual.
15:13You usually have something different, don't you?
15:17Right, one dozen.
15:33Ahem.
15:37Wouldn't it be easy if you opened an account?
15:40Ahem.
15:44Ahem.
15:45Ahem.
15:48Ahem.
15:58When Wales get home rule, do you think they'll nationalise Clive Jenkins?
16:07Ahem.
16:11Oh, oh, I found one.
16:13That's one of the old ones, isn't it?
16:17Right.
16:27There we are then.
16:31Lovely.
16:32There you go.
16:33Oh, wait a minute here.
16:34Don't go out without your helmet done up.
16:36Your head will come off here.
16:38Oh!
16:39There you are.
16:40My gloves.
16:41Eh?
16:42My gloves.
16:43Bless you.
16:44Oh, I see, yes.
16:46Well, let go of them, let go of them.
16:48Oh, I've got your strap done up too tight, sorry.
16:51There you are.
16:52Bye-bye.
16:53Thank you.
16:59Oh!
17:00Who was it?
17:01Ruddy Apollo 3, the plastic astronaut.
17:04Oh, that's Mr Bristol.
17:07Yes, Mr B-B-B-Bristol, yes.
17:11Hey, haven't you got that tin open yet?
17:13No.
17:16Look, why don't you jiggle it a bit?
17:24Are you sure you know what's in this?
17:26I've told you, it's beefy chunks in gravy.
17:34Beefy chunks in gravy.
17:42It's lucky I did something to dice carrots to go with it, isn't it?
17:53I'm sorry, I've got to go.
17:54I've got to go.
17:55I've got to go.
17:56I've got to go.
17:57I've got to go.
17:58I've got to go.
17:59I've got to go.
18:00I've got to go.
18:01I've got to go.
18:03What's for pudding?
18:04Cheese and biscuits?
18:1535 Lindley Road.
18:17That's 88...
18:1889...
18:1987...
18:2185...
18:2287!
18:2487!
18:28I bet it's all a legend.
18:30I bet she's not really like that.
18:33I bet if I walk through this gate with half a pound of streaky bacon
18:36pretending I've mistaken the house for number 85,
18:39I bet I'll be no nearer an understanding of the forces which govern the human predicament.
19:01Oh, dear, we're wounded again, Winston.
19:03What's she got you doing now?
19:05I'm building up a blinking bookcase, aren't I?
19:07Oh, it's a wonderful mind-broadening thing, this second marriage of yours, isn't it?
19:11What do you want, a large or a small?
19:13I'd better have a large.
19:14Yeah.
19:15It's a big bookshelf, is it?
19:17Here you are, then.
19:18Let's have your finger.
19:19Come on.
19:20Oh, dear.
19:21Oh, dear.
19:22Oh, dear.
19:23Oh, dear.
19:24Oh, dear.
19:25Oh, dear.
19:26Oh, dear.
19:27Oh, dear.
19:28Oh, dear.
19:29Oh, dear.
19:30Come on.
19:31Oh, dear.
19:32Steady.
19:33Yeah, well, it's a good job that it's not your drinking hand, isn't it?
19:35You must be joking.
19:36Drinking hand.
19:37What practice does that get these days?
19:39When I tell her I feel like a drink, she says,
19:41Oh, good, now maybe you'll get on with building a cocktail cabinet.
19:45Have you told her you're a mechanical idiot?
19:48She won't listen.
19:50You know, she wanted me to do it on our honeymoon.
19:52Now you're not supposed to give away cabinet secrets, are you?
19:54She wanted me to prove how much I loved her by redoing the bathroom with self-adhesive tiles.
19:59Self-adhesive... Have you used them?
20:01No.
20:02I worked till 2 o'clock trying to let go of a nightie.
20:07Oh, oh dear.
20:08Hey, hang on. You know what you want, don't you?
20:11You want a nice medicinal bottle. Could you use one?
20:14I could murder one.
20:15There you are then. Have a go at that. You'll like that.
20:18Cheers.
20:19Cheers.
20:20How are you making out with the nurse?
20:22I'm progressing, you know, progressing.
20:24There was a time when she didn't even bother to ignore me.
20:27But now, only this morning, there she was, hitting me with a clothes prop.
20:48I've had a bit of an accident.
20:50Yeah, what?
20:51I've dented my front spindle.
20:53Oh, that's a relief.
20:55I thought for the moment you'd damaged the bike.
21:01What happened then?
21:02Oh, I fell in Lindley Road.
21:04Oh, you wouldn't be the first one to do that.
21:06Hey, I hope you haven't been near that 87.
21:09I was just delivering the goods.
21:11I know, that's what I'm afraid of.
21:14I'll get off now. What do you want for the plaster?
21:164p.
21:17See you again. Thanks for the drink.
21:1914p for the drink, aye.
21:21You should have a drink.
21:22Come on.
21:24Thank you.
21:27Hey, there's threepence on that bottle.
21:35Well, what were you doing?
21:38About five miles an hour.
21:40No, I'm on me proper side of the road,
21:42and some silly idiot had parked her van right in the gutter.
21:46Oh, what a stupid place to leave it, right in the gutter.
21:50There's lipstick on you.
21:51No.
21:52There's lipstick on you.
21:53You've been to that 87, haven't you?
21:55No.
21:56Wipe it off at once.
21:57Someone in the shop now.
22:04There, how's that? Is that all right?
22:05Lovely, yes. Beautiful.
22:06Hey, what are you doing? What are you doing?
22:08Shh, be quiet.
22:09You've gone mad or something.
22:11Listen, you're a pawn in my dastardly game.
22:13Now sit there.
22:15I've got to find out.
22:17Hey, oh, I'm glad to see you.
22:19I'm very worried about the lad.
22:21He's come off his bike.
22:22What?
22:23Will you come through the back, love?
22:24You're not trying to get me in that back room
22:26under false pretenses, are you?
22:27Oh, now, as if I would.
22:29Come on.
22:30Look, he's got concussion, I think.
22:31Look, there's nothing wrong with him.
22:33See, listen, he's gone all incoherent.
22:37Have a look at his leg, would you?
22:39He can't have concussion in his leg.
22:41Look, I keep telling you...
22:42Just bite on that if the pain gets unbearable.
22:46He's hardly even grazed.
22:48Well, his legs look very pale to me.
22:50I think so and all.
22:52The only time they ever go out is when I make a delivery.
22:55As a midwife, I do know how you feel.
22:57Look, get a soak in the bath tonight, love.
22:59You'll be all right.
23:00Don't stroke him.
23:02I hope you haven't come over here to demole him about.
23:05I've come for me loaf and tea cakes.
23:07He's all right.
23:09You look a bit flushed, though.
23:11He should be careful at your age.
23:14You've been going through the change, haven't you?
23:18In the till, I mean.
23:21No, to be honest, you know, it's the top of me leg, to be honest.
23:25I wish you'd have a look at the top of my leg.
23:27I'll do no such thing.
23:29Well, I'll tell you what, then I'll have a look at yours, then.
23:32I've got me rounds to make.
23:34He's perfectly all right.
23:36But if you're really worried about him,
23:38you'd better give him 24 hours complete rest.
23:41Hey, a day in bed, what bliss!
23:43Granville, tucked up in bed all day.
23:46Listen, are you deaf? Go and answer that bell.
23:48Well, I'll be talking about the shortest day.
23:52Talking of a day in bed,
23:54why don't you come over on Sunday afternoon
23:56and practise your splints and bandaging, eh?
23:59I'll tell you what I'll do.
24:00I'll give you some cooling powders.
24:02You take two in a bath of cold water.
24:06Listen, I've had enough cooling powders
24:08when I saw what was hanging on your clothesline this morning.
24:11Come on, I demand the plain-on-varnish truth
24:14about your plain-on-varnish underwear.
24:17Go, get away from me.
24:19Gladys, just a little peek.
24:21I promise to stand well back
24:23if you'll just reveal the merest corner, eh?
24:26In an atmosphere of mutual frankness and trust.
24:29Go, get away!
25:39Right, now what?
25:40Well, when I give you the word, just jiggle it a bit.
25:44That's just the point.
25:46When the time came for me to jiggle it a bit,
25:48I found I hadn't had enough experience.
26:00I think more people should ride bicycles, Grandpa.
26:09In my young days, district nurses used to ride bicycles.
26:13Then there was no argument about what they were wearing.
26:32No complaints, Granville.
26:34Suddenly, the world is a brighter place.
26:36Although to the casual passer-by,
26:38it might appear that I seem to have me leg fast.
26:41Why don't you just jay-jay-jiggle it a bit?
26:45Are you all right?
26:49Bit of a jolt in the pedals.
26:52Couldn't much improve psychologically.
26:54I was quite overcome by a spirit of patriotism
26:57when I saw that pretty little flag you was waving.
27:01What it is to be mad and middle-aged!
27:04Come indoors and let me have a look at you.
27:06Oh, I thought you'd never ask. Come on, Henri.
27:18It's been a long day.
27:20That's a lot of sky to be a small shopkeeper under.
27:24I wonder if there's a planet up there somewhere
27:26with another Gladys in mind.
27:28Planet up there somewhere with another Gladys Emmanuel on it.
27:31Saying no repeatedly in a strange tongue.
27:38Hey, that's that Gloria he's got in the carrier.
27:41Well, well, well, passion on pedals.
27:45Squeals on wheels.
27:47At least he'll have something soft to fall on.
27:50Oh, Lord, let him increase in wisdom and experience
27:53without too much pain or having to come to me for more money.
