00:00Hello everybody, welcome back to the channel, my name's Kevin, I'm a geek, you're watching
00:15Kevin the Geek and welcome back to my good night, sweetheart, double header day.
00:19Of course, earlier on today I did episode 5 of the second series, go back and check
00:24that one out if you missed it.
00:26Now we are doing episode 6, which is As You Wave Me Goodbye, but because it starts with
00:32dot dot dot, I'm wondering if they've kind of done this as a bit of a two-parter, because
00:37last episode out was, well, it was quite mind-boggling, the fact that Gary has decided to kill himself
00:51in the present day and move permanently into the past.
00:57I'm not sure whether he's going to stick it out or not, but we're going to find out right now.
01:01A new day has come.
01:11What time is it?
01:171941, what a surprise.
01:31Well, look who it is.
01:33It's the moron who faked his own suicide in 1994, just so he could come and live in the
01:45land of air raids and shortages.
01:47Thing is, you're the only one who knows they've got another four years of this.
01:51I hate you.
01:55Gary, it's me.
02:01Morning.
02:03Morning.
02:05Do you sleep well?
02:07No.
02:09Ah, there's no water.
02:11The bomb damaged the mains.
02:13Marvellous.
02:15Well, Reggie's been to the standpipe, so there's water at the pub if you need it.
02:19Well, I just thought I'd come round and tell you.
02:21Mr Sparrow?
02:23It's Mrs Bloss.
02:25Are you there?
02:27Oh, no, don't answer.
02:29The last thing I need right now is the landlady from hell.
02:37If they'd just let yourself in, love, you could have been naked.
02:45Morning, Mrs Bloss.
02:47Oh, Sammy, I thought you were out.
02:49Obviously.
02:51I hope you didn't think I was being nosy.
02:53It's just that Mr Bloss thought he smelt gas, and I was worried that you might have been overcome.
02:57And passed out into one of my drawers, presumably.
03:01You're here very early, Mrs Bamford.
03:03Well, I just came round to tell Gary that there's water at the pub if he needs it.
03:05Not that that's anyone else's business.
03:07I'd better be getting back.
03:09I'll see you later, Gary.
03:11OK.
03:13Well, if there's nothing else, Mrs Bloss?
03:15Shocking business, that vomit in Gibbon's warehouse last night.
03:17Yeah.
03:19Those poor souls on fire watch really caught it.
03:21Oh, I'm sorry.
03:23Oh, I'm sorry.
03:25Those poor souls on fire watch really caught it.
03:27I hear one of them had his head blown clear off.
03:29By his jaw.
03:31You're fire-watching tonight, aren't you?
03:33Well, perhaps not.
03:35I'm feeling a bit bronchial.
03:37Mr Bloss is almost consumptive, but it doesn't stop him doing his duty.
03:39If your head should be blown off, what should I do with your belongings?
03:41Feel free to give my hat away.
03:43I really ought to know your next of kin.
03:45Would it be Mrs Bamford?
03:47No.
03:49No.
03:51No.
03:53No.
03:55No.
03:57No.
03:59No.
04:01No.
04:03No.
04:05No.
04:07No.
04:09No.
04:11No.
04:13No.
04:15No.
04:17No.
04:19No.
04:22He definitely woke up on the wrong side of the bed.
04:28Afternoon, Reg.
04:30At your foot, son?
04:32Yeah, I turned my ankle over.
04:34Feels like a pretty bad sprain.
04:36Oh, that's rotten luck.
04:38And you're due to come fire-watching tonight and all.
04:40Isn't it always the way when you're looking forward to something?
04:42Well, there's no way you can walk around on a roof all night.
04:44No, duty calls, Reg.
04:46Now listen, son.
04:48You can't stand seven floors up on a roof in that condition.
04:50Well, if you're sure, we'll get you a chair.
04:56That one backfired on you, didn't it, Gary?
05:00What have I got to do, open a vein?
05:02Fine, gentlemen, please.
05:04Poor old Gary's twisted his ankle.
05:06We'll stick it under a cold tap.
05:08I see your advanced first aid course paid off.
05:10Anyway, there aren't any cold taps, are there?
05:14I want a word with you in the snug, now.
05:16Oh.
05:18Oh.
05:22Oh, it, uh, comes and goes.
05:32Did you tell Mrs. Bloss that me and you do sexy acrobatics?
05:36No, but it's not acrobatics.
05:38Blimey, there's not enough room in my flat to swing a cat,
05:40let alone a trapeze.
05:42You did say sexy, though.
05:44Well, sexual.
05:48What are you trying to do to me?
05:50I am a married woman, remember?
05:52Well, the old bat got on my nerves.
05:54I just told her what she wanted to hear.
05:56I don't think you cared what other people thought.
05:58There's a difference between them thinking something's going on
06:00and you telling them it's true.
06:02She went straight out and told the whole queue
06:04at the fishmongers.
06:06It would have to be the day they had a delivery of haddock.
06:08Half the neighbours were there to hear it spread.
06:10Gary, if some old duffer at the brewery
06:12gets to hear about it,
06:14I could lose my licence.
06:16I'm beyond sorry.
06:18It's all right.
06:20No need to look like that.
06:22It's not the end of the world.
06:24Jason out, will you, Reg?
06:26I want my dinner.
06:28Oh, that sounds like a nice idea.
06:30We're only having a cheese sandwich.
06:32I'm going spare, is there?
06:34I had nothing in for breakfast this morning.
06:36Oh, I'm sorry, that's hardly enough for me and Reg.
06:38How come he gets some?
06:40Because he swapped me two pork sausages.
06:42Gary, if you've got nothing in,
06:44I can't face the queues.
06:46Oh, poor you.
06:48What are your plans for the day?
06:50Well, I thought I'd hang around here for a while,
06:52then I'll hang around here, I suppose.
06:54Why haven't you got to go to work?
06:56No, I'm on leave.
06:58Oh, wow.
07:00You're not doing very much with it, are you?
07:02Whoa!
07:04Come on, Stan.
07:06Have you got no home to go to?
07:08No, I got bombed last night.
07:10Remember what His Majesty the King said?
07:12The walls of London may be battered,
07:14but the spirit of a Londoner will stand resolute.
07:16But he ain't kipping in a drafty school all
07:18and doing his business in a bucket.
07:20That's Batman.
07:22Sure he would if he thought he'd help.
07:24Burke.
07:26Oi, ladies' present.
07:28There is no call to be disrespectful to the King.
07:30He's a good man who's prepared to do his duty.
07:32He stood by his people when that brother of his
07:34went off and left us in the lurch.
07:36It was a shame, that. I liked Edward.
07:38I thought he was quite dashing.
07:40Edward VIII.
07:42I cried the night he made his abdication speech.
07:44Do you remember?
07:46We had it on in here.
07:48Oh, that was a real turning point in history.
07:50I should think everyone remembers where they was at that moment.
07:52Where was you, Gary?
07:54Hmm?
07:56Uh, shopping.
07:58At ten o'clock at night?
08:00It was a momentous couple of years.
08:02First of all,
08:04there was the old King's Jubilee.
08:06Do you remember that big street party?
08:09Everyone was here.
08:11I remember your dad having one over the eight
08:13falling asleep under the table.
08:15No, that was that Billy Murdoch
08:17proposing toast to their majesties every five minutes.
08:19I had to make sure Dad stayed
08:21well out of his way come the coronation.
08:23Oh, the coronation.
08:25Now, there was a day and a half.
08:27Proudest moment of my life
08:29when I was picked to be one of the bobbies lying in the route
08:31to the Abbey.
08:33Me and my friend Beryl camped out all night
08:35just so we could get our place in the All-Scars Parade.
08:37Once the Royal Party had gone past,
08:39I collected a lovely bucket of horse muck.
08:43I felt as if my roses grew
08:45by appointment that year.
08:47Look, can we get off this
08:49all-our-yesterdays bit?
08:51Oh, no. I like remembering nice times.
08:53Why don't you stop moaning
08:55for a change and join in?
08:57Um...
08:59Remember when Hitler
09:01invaded Czechoslovakia?
09:03Then I'll see if I can find a scrape
09:05and a pick-a-lily for his sandwich.
09:07Hmm.
09:09You are such a gloomy gush lately.
09:11You're used to popping in
09:13and out of here like a ray of sunshine.
09:15Bad news, more rationing,
09:17nothing seemed to get you down.
09:19Now suddenly the war seems to have got to you worse
09:21than the rest of us. What's changed, Gary?
09:23Nothing's changed, Phoebe, nothing.
09:25Except being around in 347.
09:27What's the trouble?
09:29Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
09:31Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
09:33Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
09:35Surprised?
09:37Not at all.
09:39Let me guess.
09:411941 is an exciting
09:43place to visit,
09:45but as a permanent abode it ranks up there
09:47with Sarajevo during mid-siege.
09:49A man out of your town you found it
09:51impossible to come to terms with.
09:53Very soon you started to miss your wife,
09:55your friends, and the comforts of modern living.
09:57How did you know?
09:59Because that's what I told you would happen
10:01before you went.
10:03Okay, it's official, you're a clever dick.
10:05Oh, Ron, I've made the most enormous
10:07ricket of my life.
10:09Why couldn't I have been happy just flitting
10:11between the two eras?
10:13Wish things could go back to the way they were.
10:15Difficult,
10:17as in this particular era you've committed suicide.
10:19Ha-ha-ha-ha!
10:21Shuffled off the mortal coil,
10:23ran up the curtains to the choir invisible,
10:25ceased to be.
10:27In short, you are an ex-Sparrow.
10:29Ha-ha-ha-ha!
10:31She was devastated.
10:33At first.
10:35What do you mean, at first?
10:37I haven't been dead five days.
10:39Ha-ha-ha-ha!
10:41Do you know what bloke she used to work with, the one you said fancied her?
10:43Les?
10:45He's been a tower of strength.
10:47The creep!
10:49Good snooker player, though.
10:51He's taken my place on the snooker team as well.
10:54They made him captain.
10:56How soon they forget.
10:58Hold on,
11:00there's something you're not telling me, isn't there?
11:02You're in the clear, old son.
11:04They never found your suicide note.
11:06Are you sure?
11:08I left it in plain sight
11:10on top of my clothes.
11:12Well, that explains why nobody went near it, then.
11:14Ha-ha-ha-ha!
11:16Well, Gary, you're not exactly the Calvin Klein
11:18of Cricklewood, are you?
11:20If your life were a film,
11:22the end credits would read
11:24Mr Sparrow's Wardrobe,
11:26as supplied by Sue Ryder Shops.
11:28You can insult me all you like.
11:30I'm alive.
11:32I am so lucky.
11:34I was prepared to do
11:36the honourable thing, you know, commit to one girl,
11:38but it's like God saying
11:40it's okay to have an affair.
11:42So where does Yvonne think I've been?
11:44Well, as far as Yvonne's concerned,
11:46you're not dead, you've just been an Inverness.
11:48Though some people would say there's not a lot of difference.
11:50Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
11:52If there weren't lorry drivers present, I would kiss you.
11:54Then we both have something
11:56to be thankful for.
11:58Some more than others.
12:00What do you mean?
12:02While you were away, I was
12:04falsely accused of propositioning another woman.
12:06Oh, yeah. Who?
12:08Your wife, actually.
12:10That job she went for in Maccasfield?
12:12Didn't work out.
12:14She was upset you weren't here,
12:16so I offered my support.
12:18Unfortunately, this was misunderstood by Yvonne
12:20as a romantic proposition, which she then relayed
12:22to Stella.
12:24And what did you say to her?
12:26Do not even think about giving me a hard time over this.
12:28Yet again, as a result
12:30of picking up the pieces that you leave behind,
12:32I've been dropped in it.
12:34What you will do at the earliest opportunity
12:36is explain to Yvonne that it was all a misunderstanding
12:38and get me back on side
12:40with my wife.
12:42I can't. I'm supposed to go fire-watching tonight.
12:44All right.
12:46Here you are, Ron.
12:48Oh, food. Can I order something?
12:50Double egg, chips and beans, double bacon,
12:52double sausage.
12:54Yeah, another egg.
12:56Mushrooms, tomatoes, double bubble,
12:58two rounds of toast and a tea.
13:00Large.
13:02He's been in Scotland.
13:08Damn, Ron is such a good friend.
13:10And...
13:12I feel bad for him
13:14because Gary does treat him like a...
13:18I don't know, like a...
13:20I wouldn't quite go to
13:22a bit of shit under the bottom of his shoe,
13:24but get him towards that way.
13:26Give Yvonne and me
13:28a minute alone together first, would you?
13:30She'd have missed me. She's an emotional person.
13:32There's likely to be tears.
13:34There ain't gonna be tears, is there?
13:38Where the hell have you been?
13:40Scotland. Do you know where I've been?
13:43Gary, you could have rang once or twice,
13:45just to let me know that you were alright.
13:47Well, you don't seem too distraught.
13:49Gary, I've had a rotten couple of days
13:51and I was fed up of sitting night after night
13:53on my own, feeling miserable.
13:55So I invited some of the girls round from work, okay?
13:57Yeah, of course.
13:59Look, I'm sorry. I meant to phone. I just seem to be forever in meetings.
14:01It only takes two minutes to make a phone call, Gary.
14:03You're right.
14:05There's no excuse.
14:07Oh, come here.
14:09Oh, I can't tell you
14:11how great it is to be home.
14:13It's nice to have you home.
14:15And I'm really sorry about the Macclesfield job
14:17falling through. Thanks.
14:19Who told you? Hi.
14:21Get that pervert out of here!
14:23Yvonne, calm down.
14:25It was a misunderstanding.
14:27I asked him to keep an eye on you while I was away.
14:29He was just offering you support.
14:31He offered to spend nights with me.
14:33Oh, come on. It's only...
14:35You never told me you said that.
14:38Oh, metaphorically, I swear.
14:40Well, that explains it, then.
14:42I'm sure you got the wrong end of the stick.
14:44You know what he's like.
14:46He never uses one word when ten will do.
14:48He is,
14:50insinuating that my verbal utterances are unduly complex.
14:52Yes.
14:54Whilst freely admitting to a leaning towards loquaciousness,
14:56I must nevertheless protest.
14:58Ron. Yes.
15:00You have the communication skills of Jimmy Knapp.
15:02Look.
15:04This is good old Ron we're talking about.
15:07He is a good and honest man.
15:09He's not the type to take advantage.
15:13I trust him.
15:15Can't you give him the benefit of the doubt?
15:17Just this once.
15:19But you watch it in the future.
15:21Thank you, Yvonne. You'll ring Stella and tell her it was all a misunderstanding.
15:23Later.
15:25Could I trouble you to do it now? Only there might be one pair of my trousers she hasn't cut the crotch out.
15:29I can't do that now. She's gone out.
15:31She never told me.
15:33No, she wouldn't. She's not talking to you, is she?
15:35Yvonne.
15:37Ask Gary's back. Do you want her to push off now?
15:39Oh, no, don't be daft, Wendy.
15:41I tell you what. I'll go down to the off-licence, get some more supplies.
15:43We'll make this a proper party. What do you say?
15:45Yeah, that's a great idea.
15:47Thanks, I first on.
15:49Oh.
15:53I thought they were under the stairs.
15:55No, you stuck all the decent tapes in the top of the wardrobe.
15:57To make room for all those boring blues albums of yours.
16:01I love the blues.
16:04I can't reach.
16:06Short house.
16:08The behind-the-pillar cases.
16:10Yeah, go on.
16:12It's a great idea, this party.
16:14I really needed to let my hair down.
16:16God, Macclesfield was dull.
16:18You know, the job was dead man's shoes
16:20and there was no better place to wear them.
16:22Hey.
16:24S-Express, yes.
16:26And the attitude of people up there.
16:28I happened to mention over lunch
16:30our pawn shop for a little experimental excitement.
16:33And they looked at me like I was mad and sin.
16:35Honestly, it was like going back 50 years.
16:37You wouldn't believe it.
16:39I don't believe it.
16:41Look, I should have been here when you needed me, I'm sorry.
16:43You're here now.
16:49Gary, we've got a house full of guests.
16:51Do you remember that party
16:53when we did it under a pile of coats?
16:57That's quite a pile of coats.
16:59Come on then.
17:01It was under a pile of coats.
17:09I was about to say
17:11I think it was the British Empire
17:13where it ended up being Carolyn and Gordon.
17:15Oh, okay.
17:17Yeah.
17:19If Ron wasn't in the doghouse
17:21with Stella
17:23because of the misunderstanding
17:25with Yvonne
17:27he's definitely going to be in the doghouse now.
17:30And with the other one
17:32Ron was all innocent here.
17:36Yeah, yeah.
17:38This is a doghouse of your own making there, Ron.
17:46And clearly it's a night here
17:48so Phoebe's going to be pissed off
17:50that I didn't go to the fire watch.
17:54And how are you?
17:56Stud?
18:00That's it.
18:06Flowers aren't for me then?
18:08But for your wife.
18:10You really are an idiot.
18:12I mean,
18:14now you've proved that you're the sex beast
18:16she thought you were
18:18there's no way Yvonne will tell Stella
18:20the thing between you and her was a misunderstanding.
18:22I mean to say
18:24doing it under a pile of coats.
18:26I've seen dogs in the park show more class.
18:28As I remember
18:30the only reason we were caught was that you two
18:32were about to dive under there yourselves.
18:34That was different.
18:36We were about to re-enact our youth.
18:38Well, best of luck.
18:40Where are you going? I'm going to need your help.
18:42After all, this is all your fault.
18:44Excuse me, I don't remember standing there
18:46with a loaded gun forcing you
18:48to stick your tongue into Wendy's mouth.
18:50No.
18:52But it's because of you that I'm at odds with my wife
18:55and therefore prone to the advances of other women.
18:57She came on to me, you know,
18:59it was a complete surprise.
19:01Oh, to me too.
19:03Good looking girl, Wendy.
19:05And what's that supposed to mean?
19:07A little jealous, are we?
19:09Suddenly you're not the only
19:11bad bandit on the block anymore.
19:13Grow up, there's nothing clever about
19:15cheating on your wife.
19:17And where are you off to now?
19:21To see Phoebe.
19:24What are you saying about bus houses, people?
19:26It's only because I have been there
19:28that I feel obliged to point out the rocky road you're on.
19:30Anyway, my situation is completely different.
19:32All my indiscretions are in the past.
19:36Even my future indiscretions are in the past.
19:41He's so smug about it all, isn't he?
19:45You know what?
19:47It's not often that I would say this.
19:49But I really want him
19:51to get caught.
19:53I really want him to get caught.
19:55But the problem is,
19:57the whole nature of this show is that
19:59literally unless Yvonne
20:01and Phoebe somehow are able
20:03to meet,
20:05or basically Ron
20:07blabs,
20:09there's no way that
20:11it's going to get caught.
20:13Alright, see you later.
20:15You've got a visitor.
20:17Where'd you get them?
20:19Intergrovel?
20:22A day you should be getting the flowers for.
20:24I can't, can I?
20:26There's a 50-yard romp-free exclusion zone around her.
20:28Well, I reckon that'll be up to Elisa Bile
20:30after I tell her about last night.
20:32Please don't. Honestly, all we did was snogging
20:34and some very preliminary groping.
20:36I think that's enough.
20:38I'm not responsible for what's happening to me.
20:40First there was you taking my perfectly
20:42innocent remarks as a sexual overture
20:44and then last night Wendy
20:46couldn't keep her hands off me.
20:48I think I've reached that certain
20:51level of maturity that Wendy and other women find irresistible.
20:53Don't flatter yourself, Ron.
20:55Wendy's a chubby chaser.
20:57Pardon?
20:59She likes fat loaves, the fatter the better.
21:01Ooh, 51 is down!
21:03I think you could have let me down
21:05a little more gently.
21:07Yeah!
21:09But that just goes to show that I'm not to blame,
21:11except perhaps for my bad diet
21:13and lack of exercise.
21:15Oh, totally innocent, were you?
21:17And I suppose what we couldn't see is that you were fending her off under those coats.
21:19I struggled, briefly.
21:21For God's sake, take responsibility, Ron.
21:23How can I even begin to believe you're sorry
21:25when you won't even admit you're at fault?
21:27I want you to say
21:29I have seduced another woman
21:31and I am sorry.
21:33Go on.
21:35I've seduced another woman and I'm sorry.
21:37Again, louder.
21:39I've seduced another woman and I'm sorry.
21:41Is Stella in the other room?
21:43I've seduced another woman and I am sorry.
21:45Did you hear that, Stella?
21:48No!
21:50That's right, and you did it!
21:52Oh, we've fallen!
21:54Good morning.
21:56You'll be pleased to know
21:58normal service has been resumed
22:00and Mr. Sunshine is back.
22:04Uh-oh.
22:06Oh.
22:08Couple of pairs of nylons, lady.
22:10Right.
22:12Look, chocolate, eggs,
22:14bacon, and as a special treat,
22:17a nice bit of English cheddar.
22:19Thanks.
22:21Well, don't I even get a smile?
22:23You ought to be careful, son.
22:25You're getting a bit of a reputation as a black marketeer.
22:27Well, this stuff isn't black market.
22:29It's from...
22:31It's from the American embassy.
22:33It's still not officially sanctioned goods.
22:35Oh, don't be such a stick in the mud, Rich.
22:37Now, listen.
22:39I may be on sick leave, but I'm still a serving Bobby, remember?
22:41Well, how can I be called a black marketeer?
22:43I don't sell the stuff. I give it away.
22:45Stupidity is no defense.
22:47Well, Robin Hood gave away stuff to people who needed it.
22:49Nobody called him stupid.
22:51But he remembered to do his bit for his king.
22:55Uh, completely lost me now.
22:57You didn't turn up for your fire-watching duty last night.
23:01Oh, that's where I get the frosty reception.
23:05Well, I'm sorry. It couldn't be helped.
23:07I was called back to work, you know.
23:09I'm sorry, son, but it's just not flaming good enough!
23:12There. You see what you've done?
23:14I'm so et up, I went and used the F-word.
23:16Whoa!
23:20You should have let us know if you couldn't make it.
23:22You let everyone down.
23:24Do you know they had to get old Norman out of a sickbed to cover for you?
23:28I didn't think. I'm sorry.
23:30It couldn't be helped, honest.
23:32Well, some people are saying you didn't turn up because you were frightened.
23:36Well, why should they think that?
23:38You spent yesterday trying to cry off with a sprained ankle.
23:42Gary, you was walking around here with a worse limp than Long John Silver,
23:44but that seems to have cleared up all of a sudden.
23:48No, I strapped up. It still twinges.
23:50Oh, see?
23:54Well, you don't think I'm a coward, do you?
23:56I don't want to think it, Gary.
23:58All right, well, I'll prove it to you.
24:00I'll go fire-watching whenever you like.
24:02Tonight?
24:04Tonight's fine.
24:12God, can you imagine if he gets blown up
24:14and he dies, like, tonight?
24:20It's a long way down, isn't it?
24:24What exactly do they store in this warehouse, Reg?
24:26Paint, that sort of thing.
24:28That sort of thing would be
24:30turps and thinners, I suppose.
24:32Yeah, probably.
24:34I'm fire-watching on top of a building
24:36that's stuffed full of highly flammable
24:38and explosive liquids.
24:41That's the only way I know how Joan of Arc felt.
24:43It's a messy job, son, but someone's got to do it.
24:45Reg, if this place gets hit,
24:47we're going to need flame-proof clothing,
24:49breathing apparatus, and some heavy-duty
24:51firefighting equipment.
24:53I'm empowered to issue you with a tin hat
24:55and a bucket of sand.
24:57Nothing to worry about.
24:59Dad used to say you'd be better off
25:01sticking your head in the sand and using your tin hat
25:03to cover your arse.
25:05What are you doing?
25:07Now, if there's any objections,
25:09Stan, you take the third and fourth.
25:11Bob, the fifth and sixth.
25:13Gary, you can handle things up top with Phoebe.
25:15At last. Let's go and have a brew-up, Bob.
25:17He's a bolshie so-and-so, that Stan.
25:19Now, anything you want,
25:21just let me know.
25:23A flight to the Bahamas leaving in five minutes
25:25seems pretty appealing, right?
25:27You...
25:29You're a god-cool
25:31Bahamian.
25:34I suppose we just
25:36wait for now, do we?
25:38Ah!
25:40Picked a nice night for it.
25:42Bombers moon.
25:44Did they?
25:46What?
25:48Why are the plane windows open?
25:52Oh, moonlight!
25:54Sorry.
25:56Cup of tea?
25:58Please.
26:00It is peaceful up here.
26:03When I was little,
26:05I used to lay in bed, looking out of the window,
26:07staring up at the stars for hours.
26:09Do you find yourself
26:11thinking about times before the war?
26:13Yeah.
26:15Well, they were peaceful, settled.
26:17It's only natural.
26:19I keep remembering the Sunday dinners we used to have
26:21round at my Aunt Dot's.
26:23All the family sat round a big wooden table.
26:25That'll never happen now,
26:27and my dad's dead,
26:29and Aunt Henry bought it at Dunkirk.
26:31Dot wouldn't be here, either, if it wasn't for that table.
26:33She was sheltering under it
26:35when the house next door got it,
26:37and a ceiling fell on her.
26:39She didn't have a mark on her
26:41when the rescue men got her out.
26:43Wasn't an MSI table, then?
26:45Sorry. Bad joke.
26:47I hope to God
26:49I don't have to live through any more wars
26:51after this one.
26:53No, you won't. Not big ones, anyway.
26:55I'm sure Europe will settle down a lot
26:57once all this is over.
27:00French will always be git.
27:02Here we go.
27:06Sounds like it's coming from over the hill.
27:08Yeah, they're probably following the line of the river.
27:12You all right?
27:14I always am when I'm with you.
27:18What are all those flashes?
27:20Well, they're the incendiaries.
27:22There's hundreds of them.
27:24They're all over the street.
27:26If we can't do any harm down there, they'll just burn themselves down.
27:29Gary, look, over there.
27:31What creak in the sand, Donny?
27:37There's another one over there.
27:39Come on.
27:54Phoebe, I've done it!
27:56Yes, yes, yes!
27:58For now.
28:02I think it's getting a bit airy, Gary. I think we should go down.
28:04Yeah, all right. You go down. I'll make sure there are no more incendiaries here.
28:06Well, you can't. It's too dangerous.
28:08No, I'll be fine. Go on.
28:10I am not leaving you. If you stay, I stay.
28:12Get down.
28:20Why don't you sing us one of your songs?
28:22You know,
28:24like down the air raid shelter.
28:27Oh, come on, Gary.
28:37When this whole world starts getting me down
28:39And people are just too much
28:41For me to face
28:49I climb way up to the top of the stairs
28:51And all my cares just drift
28:53Right into space
28:56And there on the roof
28:58It's peaceful as can be
29:00And there on the roof
29:02It's peaceful as can be
29:18You're late.
29:20You doing that on the tiles?
29:22Yeah, kind of.
29:24Are you okay?
29:26You look all pale and shaky.
29:28Yeah, I just got a touch of flu, you know.
29:30I'll take an aspirin.
29:32Well, you'll be pleased to know
29:34Harmony has returned to Ron's house.
29:36I took pity on him and squared things with Stella.
29:38Good.
29:40You see, no porker stands a chance
29:42Once Wendy targets them.
29:44Did you know she has 275 hours
29:46Of sumo wrestling on tape?
29:48It's better than the Adult Channel, as far as she's concerned.
29:51Gary, you don't look at all well.
29:53Why don't you come to bed?
29:55Not yet.
29:57You go up. I'll be there in a minute.
29:59Okay.
30:01But don't be long, yeah?
30:03No.
30:06Oh, boy...
30:30Good night, sweetheart
30:32Good night, sweetheart
30:34Good night, sweetheart, good night, sweetheart.
30:41May we meet tomorrow, dream and fold you.
30:49Dream and will I fold you.
30:53Good night, sweetheart, good night.
31:04That, that is a really interesting episode.
31:13I mean, first of all, Ron is really getting dealt a lot of shit in this show, isn't he?
31:20And I feel really bad for him, you know, he's such a good friend to Gary
31:24and it just always seems like he's the one who gets the short end of the stick
31:31whereas Gary is swanning through life, everything all going well for him.
31:36Until now.
31:39So, he didn't last in the 40s.
31:46In a way, I almost wish he'd lasted a little bit longer before he kind of gave up
31:52and kind of came back to the 90s.
31:54Because I think that would have been a great, great kind of thing for the story.
32:02Because, like I said, you know, Gary is so used to all the stuff from the 90s, the mod cons.
32:09Yeah, and I'm talking about, obviously, he's not at a point where he's got on mobile phones and stuff like that.
32:13But even the basic stuff like being able to just go shopping and get whatever you want.
32:19Being able to wash your clothes in a washing machine.
32:22Being able to iron your clothes.
32:24This is all stuff that he will have to learn.
32:27Well, to a certain point.
32:30I mean, obviously, we're talking about times when women were, for the most part, they were the housewives
32:36and they did everything, you know.
32:38I mean, even like you think about the episode, I think it was last month,
32:44when Gary's like, you know, I'll do the cooking, I'll put on a pin in.
32:49Like, oh, yeah, no, we know what men wear pinnies, you know, we don't want you being one of them.
32:55You know, so women were doing pretty much everything.
32:58So there is a lot of stuff that he may not have to do if he's with Phoebe a little bit more regularly.
33:05But even his landlady may be doing some stuff for him.
33:09But that ending.
33:18It's one thing to live in the past and to have nothing.
33:25It's another thing to be in the past and to have to deal with being up on a roof.
33:35Great, great choice of song from the Drifters there.
33:40Very, very good.
33:42You know, happy to be there during an air raid when there's bombs coming down,
33:47when there's incendiaries coming down.
33:50Yeah.
33:52I'm not surprised that Gary is...
33:56I mean, is it quite PTSD?
34:02It may not quite be that, but it's damn close.
34:07It's really damn close.
34:10That's going to be interesting now, seeing how Gary copes moving forward.
34:17Because it seems like he's not going to be quite, like, permanently living in the past.
34:25But presumably he is going to be having to go there a little bit more frequently
34:31to do things like Firewatchers.
34:34Unless he goes again, oh yeah, I'm moving back to America and I'm doing all this
34:39to give him that time again.
34:44Yeah.
34:46This show just gets better and better.
34:49I love what we do with this show.
34:51I love all these little intricacies they're building up.
34:57They're not just doing, oh yeah, he's going in the past.
35:00Oh, he's back in the future again.
35:02Oh, there's problems.
35:04They're starting to go deeper.
35:06They're addressing mental health, which I am always such a big advocate of.
35:12So, yeah.
35:14That is the Doubleheader Day for Goodnight Sweetheart.
35:18Next month, we will have episodes 7 and 8.
35:25And then in October, we will have episodes 9 and 10.
35:30And then in December, we will have the Christmas episode.
35:34And I will also do the first episode of the third series,
35:40which apparently is set at New Year's Eve.
35:43So I will probably be doing that as a New Year's Eve special for that.
35:47But, hey.
35:49That is it for this week's episode.
35:51Sorry I'm getting a bit croaky.
35:53I'm going to have to stop talking in a minute.
35:55Thank you so very much if you've stuck with me to this point.
35:57As always, if you're new, subscribe, drop your comments, consider supporting me on Patreon,
36:03all the usual bits and bobs.
36:05But thank you once again.
36:07For now, my name's Kevin.
36:09I am a geek.
36:10And you've been watching Kevin the Geek.
36:12Goodbye.
