00:00A long country made up to London has strayed
00:24Although with her nature it did not agree
00:31And she's wept and she's sighed
00:35And she's wrung her hands and cried
00:40How I wish once again in the north I could be
00:50Where the oak and the ash and the bonny ivy tree
01:00All flourish and bloom in my north country
01:10How sadly I roam and lament, my dear home
01:18Where larks and lasses are making their hay
01:25Where the bells they do ring and the little birds they sing
01:35And the maidens and meadows are pleasant and gay
01:45Where the oak and the ash and the bonny ivy tree
01:55All flourish and bloom in my north country
02:06Well I bet if I pleased I could marry with ease
02:14For where bonny lassies are lovers will come
02:21But the lad that I wed must be north country bred
02:31And must carry me back to my north country home
02:41Where the oak and the ash and the bonny ivy tree
02:51All flourish and bloom in my north country
03:03Are you travelling to Hull?
03:10Yeah
03:12Going back home?
03:14Just for the weekend
03:16How did you guess?
03:21Experience, plus instinct
03:23People from Hull, they all have this mysterious northern mist behind their eyes
03:28You must be clever
03:31Not really
03:33Takes a clever fella to talk rubbish like that
03:36No, what it is, it's envy
03:38Fancy
03:40I've lived in about a dozen places
03:43You get to envy people who know where home is
03:46Promised land we call it
04:02Thank you very much
04:15I'm always kind to people from Hull
04:17Not that any of you really come from Hull
04:19Don't we?
04:20You're all immigrants, if you go back a few generations
04:23Danish or Dutch or Icelandic
04:26Good Yorkshire names like Amundsen and Van Himst
04:30My name's Brown
04:33I tell lies sometimes
04:35I'm a journalist, I have to
04:37Is that why you know all about Hull?
04:39I'm writing a series about the regions
04:41Hull and Humberside, that's my favourite so far
04:45Pretty old horse
05:00Do you know the land of Green Ginger?
05:04It's a street, isn't it?
05:06But you're not sure where?
05:08Not really
05:10It's a magic city, you should know these things
05:13I know a lot about old things
05:17Mind your own business
05:23There's a fish shop 50 miles down a railway siding
05:26Isn't that what they say?
05:28And after Hull, there's only the sea
05:31I know about the sea as well, thank you very much
05:37Look
05:40Nearly there now
06:11Oh say, we're onward bound
06:15Hurrah, we're onward bound
06:35Oh say, we're onward bound
06:39Hurrah, we're onward bound
07:00Oh say, we're onward bound
07:04Hurrah, we're onward bound
07:09All our money's all gone and spent
07:12None to be borrowed, none to be lent
07:16In comes the landlord with a trout
07:21Saying, get up mate, let's sit down
07:25Oh say, we're onward bound
07:29Hurrah, we're onward bound
07:33Oh say, we're onward bound
07:38Do you know what I mean?
07:41Brann's home estate, isn't it?
07:43Yes
07:44It should be all right, lovely spot
07:47My mother's just moved out there
07:49If we're not back in two days, they'll send out a search party
08:08Here we are then
08:10Brann's home welcomes careful drivers
08:13Is this it?
08:15Home's for heroes, love
08:17Is that what they say?
08:19That's what the planners say
08:21Alcatraz, my brother calls it
08:25I'll be back in a minute
08:28I'll be back in a minute
08:31I'll be back in a minute
08:34I'll be back in a minute
08:36I'll be back in a minute
08:54I think that's your mum's little place
08:56I expect so
08:58If we can find the front door, we'll be well away
09:06You're looking well
09:08Clean living
09:10Clean living in the fish diet, I know
09:13What your dad always says, daft devil
09:16Where have you heard from him lately?
09:18Postcard from the Persian Gulf
09:20When's he coming home?
09:22Says he'll be home when he arrives
09:30I had a letter
09:32Said he'd be home three days earlier if he was standing at front end of ship
09:35And if he's standing at back
09:38He gets fed up
09:44You as well
09:54It's not for me to say
09:56Sometimes think if folks want petrol that badly
09:58They could go and fetch it themselves
10:01What you think then?
10:03What about?
10:05This place
10:07Oh, it's very nice
10:09Well, don't go mad
10:11Well, it takes time to sink in
10:18I think they've tried their best
10:20Who?
10:21Corporation
10:23Yeah
10:25Well, say you like it
10:27I need somebody to cheer me up
10:29Yeah, it's smashing
10:33You brought plenty of the old stuff from No. 7 any road
10:36Oh, aye
10:38And left a good bit behind
10:40Yeah
10:42What did you come home for?
10:44I've come to see the house
10:47Well, the other one
10:49Aye, it's true
10:56And the firm's offered me a new job
10:59Money all right?
11:02Very good
11:04You've not come all this way to ask my permission, have you?
11:06If the money's all right, take it
11:08It'll mean going abroad for 18 months
11:11Then off you go
11:13Everybody else clears off, why not you?
11:18It's not my advice you're wanting, is it?
11:21Oh, is that the paper?
11:23If it's shipping movements you're worried about, I can tell you
11:26Mike's boat docked this morning
11:33This is BBC Radio Hamberside
11:36It's ten o'clock, and as always at this time on a Saturday morning
11:39Howard Clarke introduces Ahoy There
11:42Aye, that'll make him take notice
11:45No
11:46Well, you're not getting dolled up to go shopping at Woolies
11:49Where do I get the bus?
11:51Bus stop
11:52Ta
11:53Just opposite
11:55I need plenty of small change
11:57I don't have conductors any more
11:59It's like riding around on a weighing machine
12:02They'll soon not have drivers, I dare say
12:06You did come home to see me, didn't you?
12:09Course I did
12:11Aye, I'll give him my love, the mad beggar
12:29Humming
12:53If all the young men were as rush as they're growing
12:58If all the young men were as rush as they're growing
13:03Then all those pretty maidens will get sidescombed
13:07I'll wince to me right for the diddle I do
13:10Right for the diddle day
13:13If all the young men were as hares on the mountain
13:18If all the young men were as hares on the mountain
13:23Then all those pretty maidens will get conscoed
13:27I'll wince to me right for the diddle I do
13:30Right for the diddle day
13:33If all the young men were as ducks in the water
13:37If all the young men were as ducks in the water
13:42Then all those pretty maidens would soon follow after
13:47To me right for the diddle I do
13:49Right for the diddle day
13:52If all the young men were like blackbirds and thrushes
13:57If all the young men were like blackbirds and thrushes
14:02Then all those pretty maidens would go and beat bushes
14:07To me right for the diddle I do
14:09Right for the diddle day
14:15Oh, hello stranger
14:18Hello, Mrs Burlow
14:19Have you come to see me?
14:21Of course I've come to see you
14:22I believe you thousand wouldn't
14:24Come and have a cup of tea then
14:26What about your shopping?
14:27Bugger the shopping
14:29I was only up for a bag of sugar and a bit of scoundrel
14:40I'm sorry I might have got in to see you
14:42It's not important
14:43Of course it's important
14:45I was in last night like the first day on the promised trip
14:49He went up half an hour ago
14:51He said that this fellow he's got to see
14:53His honour's clear enough to see fellas
14:55I've chucked more dinners away
14:59How's the rest of them?
15:00Oh, Terry's all right
15:03They'll have another baby in three months' time, God help us
15:07I'll tell Sheila she ought to get him a job where they work nights
15:10What about Ken?
15:12He left school at Easter
15:15Mike's fixing him a trip as a decade learner
15:17Just to see if he likes it
15:19Do you think he will?
15:21He'll hate it, every minute
15:23And he'll be a troll for the rest of his life
15:25Still, better than no job at all
15:28There's not that many
15:30Hey, I'll tell you what
15:32What?
15:34Sun's shining
15:36Let's have tea on the terrace
15:39Hey, how are you?
15:47What about the big news then?
15:49What big news?
15:50Mike's got his keeper's ticket
15:54Big man
15:56Oh, I heard
15:57It was a big news

16:08It was big before, but...
16:10Has he got a boat yet?
16:11No, still sailing mate
16:13Twice as many skippers as boats just now
16:18How's your mam like her new house?
16:20She says she likes it
16:22Been knocking us all down before long
16:24Miles from anywhere them estates
16:27Cost a fortune in bus fares
16:29I've never seen your mam since she moved from here
16:32Do you know that?
16:34Well, the flats are quite nice
16:35But it's all so spread out like, isn't it?
16:37You want to be able to walk the places, don't you?
16:39Yeah
16:41Well, I do anyway
16:43You never know who you might meet
16:45Maybe some rich fella
16:47Ah
16:49Ah, these are big ones
16:51They're like smoking plant balls
16:53Are they drunk?
16:55No
16:57Sorry

17:01Well, did you want to?
17:03There's times

17:07Ah
17:09You'll be good for him
17:11He needs somebody to give him a sorting out
17:13You won't need that
17:19I think I might go for a walk
17:21Where to?

19:05Of their heart's delight
19:11Leaving them behind
19:13For to weep and mourn
19:17They never know
19:19When they will return

20:47Uncle Jack
20:51It's me, Sally
21:01She longed
21:03Her hands
21:05And she saw her hair
21:07Much like
21:09A lady
21:11In great despair
21:13Her little
21:15Her little boat
21:17Against the
21:19Rock did run

22:29In my motor car
22:35Great car, isn't it?

22:49About three all compound fractures
22:53You're looking very good, Nick
22:55Thank you

23:29Get rid of it, you big lemon
23:33Are you shouting at us?
23:35Nobody wants to listen
23:37The referee, if you like, he's a big onion
23:39You big onion!
23:43Nobody's managed it yet
23:45I'll believe you

24:11Children under, not allowed in
24:13Rock gardens, unless we're an adult
24:15Do you remember, we used to come here
24:17and Parker used to chase us out again
24:19Well, the old gang, wasn't it?
24:21So long, then
24:33Got you
24:51Got you
24:53It's white slavery for you, my little petal
25:03You're not bad, are you?
25:05You're not so bad yourself
25:17Grey as this
25:19What?
25:21Spending me spare time
25:23gazing at bloody fish
25:25I'm taking you somewhere else
25:27Like the old place?
25:29Where we used to go
25:31Where we used to go when it rained
25:37Is this where we came
25:39when it rained?
25:41Don't you remember?
25:45First it's fish
25:47then it's boats
25:49Don't you like them?
25:51You know what you can do
25:53with boats, don't you?
26:01I saw me uncle Jack yesterday
26:03Who's uncle Jack
26:05when he's at home?
26:07He used to live in the next terrace
26:09He wasn't really me uncle
26:11We just used to call him that
26:13Jack Adams, stroller skipper
26:15What of it?
26:17Yesterday I saw him
26:21I went out for a walk
26:23and saw him
26:25wandering about, drunk
26:27Doc's the same time as us
26:29He'll have been drinking
26:31People sometimes do
26:35He didn't used to drink
26:37We all have to start sometime
26:39It's not just that
26:41Tell of a long story
26:45I spoke to him
26:47he didn't answer
26:49and I looked at him
26:51and he was crying
26:53Maybe back to a couple of losers
26:55His dad used to
26:57sail in one of them
27:01I wonder what he was crying for
27:03Never seen a fella cry
27:05No
27:07Never been on
27:09strollers, have you?
27:25Come on, I'll show you something
27:55It's so bright
27:57It's a pilot
27:59for a sailor
28:01On a dark winter's
28:03night
28:07At the bottom of this
28:09mountain there
28:11runs a river
28:13clear
28:15A ship from
28:17the Indies
28:19did once anchor
28:21there
28:23The red flags are
28:25flying and the
28:27beating of the drums
28:29Sweet
28:31instruments of
28:33music and the
28:35firing of the
28:37guns
28:53Yes
29:03Yes
29:05Guess what
29:07You said you'd show me something
29:09Well, it's something, isn't it
29:11No
29:15What I'm showing you isn't there yet
29:17Isn't it
29:19No
29:21It's the bridge I'm talking about
29:23The Humber Bridge?
29:25Well, being as how it's crossing the Humber
29:27there's not much chance of them calling it
29:29London Bridge, is there
29:33Starts off there
29:35and it goes
29:39over there
29:41It'll have to be long, won't it
29:43You might say
29:45You might say it'll have to be longer
29:47than the river it's crossing
29:49You might say that
29:51Shut up
29:53So's mine, must be the weather
29:57And what'll happen when it's built
29:59I think they're hoping that people will drive across it
30:03You know what it is, I'll tell you
30:05It's gonna bring trade and
30:07prosperity to Hull
30:11Said so in the paper, must be true
30:13Be like the Klondike round here
30:15We're all gonna make our fortunes
30:17Big houses near Kirkeller Golf Course
30:19Three weeks at Butlins
30:21Hull's gonna beat Kingston Rovers in the final
30:23at Wembley, 50 points to nil
30:25City's gonna win the European Cup
30:27three years running
30:29I'll be Lord Mayor
30:31and I'll pack in the fishing
30:35Will you pack it in
30:39I'll pop down here at weekends
30:41just for relaxation
30:43That'll be the salmon
30:45You see you'll be able to sit here
30:47and see the salmon leaping
30:49When the bridge is built
30:51Aye, round about then
30:53Might take a week or two longer for the salmon
30:57When does the bridge open
30:59Well you can see, they're well on with it now
31:051976
31:15Right
31:17What is it flower
31:21The firm wants me to go abroad to work
31:23How long for
31:2518 months
31:31So long then
31:35Is that all
31:37What do you want, a bunch of grapes
31:39I haven't said I'm going yet
31:41You want to discuss it with me
31:43Why not
31:45That is if you still
31:49Fancy you
31:51Yeah
31:53That's the answer I do
31:55So
31:57Well you know me
31:59Enjoy myself and ask questions afterwards
32:01Don't start asking serious questions love
32:03I want to Iceland tomorrow
32:07Like let's have a few pints
32:09before you start asking questions
32:11Don't drink and drive
32:13I've got my ticket
32:15I've got money in my pocket
32:17We'll do it in style
32:19Like the skippers do
32:23I'm an over
32:25A seldom sober
32:27I'm an over of my degree
32:29It's when I'm drinking
32:31I'm always thinking
32:33About to gain my love's company
32:37Here is a health to all
32:39Among us and his to mine
32:41Wherever she be
32:43This very night
32:45I will go and see her
32:47Though she's many
32:49A mile away
32:51I'm an over
32:53A seldom sober
32:55I'm an over of my degree
32:57It's when I'm drinking
32:59I'm always thinking
33:01About to gain my love's company
33:05Let the night be
33:07Don't you let not the star
33:09Appear above
33:11I will be guided
33:13Without the stumble
33:15Into the arms of me own true love
33:19I'm an over
33:21A seldom sober
33:23I'm an over of my degree
33:25It's when I'm drinking
33:27I'm always thinking
33:29About to gain my love's company
33:33And when he came to her bedroom window
33:35He knelt down gently
33:37Upon the stone
33:39And through the lattices
33:41Whispered lowly
33:43My darling dear
33:45Do you lie alone
33:47I'm an over
33:49A seldom sober
33:51I'm an over of my degree
33:53It's when I'm drinking
33:55I'm always thinking
33:57About to gain my love's company
34:01She raised her hand
34:03On the snow white pillow
34:05And downy where a milk white breast
34:09Saying who is that
34:11At me bedroom window
34:13A disturbingly
34:15At me long night's rest
34:17I'm an over
34:19A seldom sober
34:21I'm an over of my degree
34:23It's when I'm drinking
34:25I'm always thinking
34:27About to gain my love's company
34:29It's only me
34:31Love your own true lover
34:33Open the door quick
34:35And let me in
34:37For I am tired
34:39Of my long night's journey
34:41And besides I'm near drenched to the skin
34:43I'm an over
34:45A seldom sober
34:47I'm an over of my degree
34:51It's when I'm drinking
34:53I'm always thinking
34:55About to gain my love's company
34:57So she opened the door
34:59With the greatest of pleasure
35:01As she opened the door
35:03And she let him in
35:05They both shook hands
35:07Kissed and embraced each other
35:09Till the dawn of day
35:11Come creeping in
35:13I'm an over
35:15A seldom sober
35:17I'm an over of my degree
35:19It's when I'm drinking
35:21I'm always thinking
35:23About to gain my love's company
35:27The cock's a crowing
35:29And I must be going
35:31The cock's a crowing
35:33And I must away
35:35The cock's a crowing
35:37And I must be going
35:39For I'm a servant
35:41And I must obey
35:43I'm an over
35:45A seldom sober
35:47I'm an over of my degree
35:49It's when I'm drinking
35:51I'm always thinking
35:53About to gain my love's company
35:57Applause
36:07Lay still my fond shepherd
36:11And do not rise yet
36:15It's the call for you in morning
36:20And it's life's longing well
36:25And it's day when still I'll never go
36:31Did you pay the taxi?
36:33They'll like you to
36:36I just fancy the walk
36:39Some people have funny taste
36:48It's very old round here
36:50It's always been here for hundreds of years
36:55We ought to look for the land of green ginger
36:57What the hell for?
36:59Good question
37:09King Billy
37:11Roberto, Lester Piggothorpe
37:15He founded the city of Hull
37:17Lester Piggothorpe
37:19He founded the city of Hull
37:21Lester Piggothorpe
37:23Lester Piggothorpe
37:25King Billy
37:27Pity, Lester might have done a better job
37:37It's been great today
37:40I've looked at fish
37:42I've looked at trawlers in glass cases
37:44Now I'm looking at salt water
37:46Great
37:48You've had some beer
37:51Aye, that were alright
37:55Has the company been any good?
37:58Very good
38:00Ta
38:05What do you fancy now? Swim?
38:07Trip on the pilot boat?
38:11I didn't see many people tonight
38:13You what? Saw hundreds
38:15The old gang, Tom and Betty and them, you know
38:18Good time having babies
38:20Not much to do in Hull in the winter, Tom reckons
38:25And Joan?
38:27Springer? Yeah
38:29Married a bloke from Sheffield
38:32I thought she was going around with Kenny Bower
38:36You should come home more often
38:38How do you mean?
38:40Ken's not with us anymore, that's what I mean
38:44Got washed overboard off Iceland
38:46Sometimes, sometimes at gale force
38:49You've heard about it on the wireless
38:53They look for him
38:57I don't want to take that job, you know, Mike
39:00So don't take it, no problem
39:03Not just that
39:05I want to come back to Hull
39:07You fond of a treat?
39:11I can walk down the street, you know
39:13I might meet somebody I know, somebody I can talk to
39:16Might be drunk or might be crying, but...
39:18You know what I mean
39:21What you mean is it's time we got married
39:25Other people are having babies
39:27Right
39:29All right, let's get married
39:31Knocking on 30, time I settle down
39:39Mike?
39:41I'm not asking any more questions
39:43There's got to be another question
39:45I'm not listening
39:47Will you take a shore job?
39:49Not a chance
39:53Lots of fellas do
39:55I thought about it
39:57Thought about it when Ken got lost
40:00Then I got me ticket
40:02You got a ticket, you haven't got a boat
40:04Wrong
40:06You've got one
40:08Right then, next time out, I'm selling a skipper
40:11You've been keeping it quiet
40:13Had to see one or two fellas fix one or two things like
40:16Backhanders
40:18Mind your own business
40:25I suppose I should say congratulations
40:27Go on, force yourself
40:31You're set on it, aren't you?
40:33If you're working in a lousy job, you might as well be good at it
40:35These are the jobs
40:37Oh, aye
40:39Humping sacks, cleaning windows
40:41Where we save all our pennies and buy a little sweet shop
40:47Look at all this
40:49Do you know what all that is?
40:51Flaming redundant
40:53Used to be full of ships, all these docks
40:56Just moved downriver, haven't they?
40:58Aye, one way down
41:02These fellas with brains can't get decent jobs
41:05So what chance have I got?
41:07I'll settle for what I've got
41:09Till they build a bridge any road
41:13Anything could happen, Mike
41:16For Christ's sake, do you think I don't know that?
41:19I could run the flaming boat on a sandbank
41:21Ten minutes out of St Andrews
41:23Or get iced up in the Arctic, down like a stone
41:25Aye, I know, anything could happen
41:28Worst thing of all could happen
41:31The worst thing?
41:33The thing you don't get away with
41:35No forgiveness
41:37If you don't catch no fish
41:39They'll let you run aground
41:41There'll be no comebacks if the charts are wrong
41:43Or the fog's thick
41:45Get knocked off a poaching round Iceland
41:47They'll maybe let you off
41:49Lose the odd fella over the side, it makes no odds
41:51As long as it's a good story
41:53They'll let you off if you sink with all hands
41:55Heroes then, appeal funds, all that
41:59You try coming home with no fish
42:01Then see what happens
42:09Ask your uncle Jack Adams
42:13I saw him
42:15I told you he was crying
42:17He knows
42:19What does he know?
42:21It's a skipper, right?
42:23Yeah
42:25He couldn't catch fish
42:27Had a run of bad luck, they say
42:29They say?
42:33Next trip but one
42:35I'll be taking his boat out
42:39Rat race
42:41Is it all different in London?
42:45What do you think?
42:59Where does it all end?
43:03Bugger if I know
43:05I'll maybe end up top lad
43:07Getting a knighthood from the Queen
43:09For services to fishing
43:11Gaffer's man
43:13Skipper's not a gaffer's man
43:15He's nobody's
43:17The crew hates him
43:19The gaffer's love him
43:21If he's catching fish
43:23He's not a gaffer's man
43:25He's nobody's
43:27The crew hates him
43:29If he's catching fish
43:31Skipper's his own man
43:33And you're going to crack it?
43:35I'll have a go
43:37I'll make lots of money
43:39And buy myself into one of the big firms
43:41Come on shore
43:43Build you a big house
43:45All the rubbish
43:53What if you don't catch any?
43:55I'll be around the fish houses
43:57With half me fingers gone
43:59Doing odd jobs for a few quid a week
44:01But I'll still be a good husband
44:03You won't
44:05Not to me you won't
44:13Look at it all
44:15I'm looking
44:17Now it's changed since King Billy
44:21I'm sorry Mike
44:23I'm home
44:25You wanted to see your mam's new house
44:27It's a good story
44:29Stick to it
44:31Rule number one get a good story
44:33Rule number two stick to it
44:35Why?
44:39Why shouldn't people do a decent job
44:41And have decent lives
44:43And live where they want to live
44:45Why Mike?
44:47Because we're all alike
44:49We don't know any better
44:51We let them get away with it
44:55Because we don't know any better
45:21Looks like taxi's coming
45:23It's a good time
45:29Did you and Mike enjoy yourselves last night?
45:33Yes thanks
45:37I just wondered
45:41We had a nice time
45:43End of story
45:45I'm sure
45:47I'm sure
45:49End of story
45:53I don't blame you love
45:57You just had a few drinks
45:59And no chance
46:01Right
46:03Sorry mam
46:05There'll be no wedding bells this trip
46:07They're really over
46:09You're a mug
46:11You want a good hiding
46:13Too much of a coward
46:15Scared of the sea but I'm even more scared of the land
46:19Town's getting on come on
46:21Skate on Nelson
46:23Aye
46:25One day it'll dawn on us
46:27And they won't know
46:29What hit them
46:35Do you know where the land of green ginger is?
46:37No idea
46:49May I join you?
46:51We used to say why am I falling apart?
46:55Yes if you like
46:59Good weekend
47:01Yes thank you
47:03How did you get on?
47:05Very good
47:07It's a tremendously exciting area
47:09Wait till we get to the bridge
47:11Glondyke
47:13Did you find the land of green ginger?
47:15No
47:17We didn't look hard enough
47:19No
47:21We didn't look hard enough
47:49I roam
47:51And lament
47:53My dear home
47:55Where lads
47:57And lasses
47:59Are making
48:01Their hay
48:03Where the bells
48:05They do ring
48:07And the little birds
48:09They sing
48:11And the
48:13Maidens
48:15And meadows
48:17Are pleasant
48:19And gay
48:21When your
48:23Cantery ash
48:25And the
48:27Pony ivy
48:29Tree
48:31All
48:33Flourish and bloom
48:35In my
48:37Northland
48:39Tree
