In 1850 the Earl of Taplow and his family return from Italy to Taplows, their country house, with their retinue of servants, led by butler Jarvis and house-keeper Flora. George Cosmo, a confident youngster, arrives seeking employment as the second foot-man, bringing with him forged references. Whilst Flora is willing to take him at face value, Jarvis is less certain. However the sudden departure of under-butler Frank creates a vacancy which needs filling immediately. George is taken on. First footman William is not impressed but he catches the eye of Grace, nursemaid to the earl's handicapped young son Harry.

00:00:00I'm not employing a handsome swine, she wants it.
00:00:26Right, my son, get ready, get steady, go!
00:00:39Tell her to get the tea out!
00:00:42Call yourself an athlete?
00:00:43You run like a girl!
00:00:44Just put me to work, Mrs. Ryan.
00:00:45Oh, I could give you a dozen jobs, but you have to meet Mr. Jarvis first.
00:00:46Esther, er, Darby room.
00:00:51Esther?
00:00:54Are you going to drench yourself in rose water?
00:00:59No, Mrs. Ryan, she's got the stench.
00:01:10Mr. Jarvis should be back sometime tonight.
00:01:14Go and wash it off.
00:01:16And take him with you.
00:01:18Give him something to eat.
00:01:19Come on, Jarvis.
00:01:35Die!
00:01:36Die!
00:01:37We're back!
00:01:38The family's behind us!
00:01:39We're back!
00:01:40We're back.
00:01:41The family's just behind us.
00:01:42We're back.
00:01:43It couldn't be, it's too early.
00:01:44It's still early.
00:01:45It's still early.
00:01:46Oh no!
00:01:47It's all right.
00:01:48It's all right.
00:01:49It's all right.
00:01:50It's all right.
00:01:51We didn't know which way to go.
00:01:52It's all right.
00:01:53I don't believe you.
00:01:54It's all right.
00:01:55I know.
00:01:56Maybe we should have let the doctor before.
00:02:05It couldn't be. It's too early.
00:02:08Oh, God. Polly, quick, go and make up the beds.
00:02:12Stop. Susan, can you, um, stop the fires? Go on, stop.
00:02:16Lizzie, Lizzie, will you come and help me? Go on.
00:02:28Move, big lumps. Go on.
00:02:32Who are you?
00:02:34Who the hell are you?
00:02:45Whoa.
00:02:48Will! Look at you.
00:02:51About bloody time.
00:02:53Get off me, Robert. Show some sense.
00:02:55Peter Jarvis is just behind us, and the family's not far behind him.
00:02:59Robert, get the trunks pulled off.
00:03:03Don't stand there dithering.
00:03:05What did you get me? Do I smell nice?
00:03:07All the luggage should be unloaded and out of the way by the time the Earl gets here.
00:03:11All they've got in Rome is tat and sweaty sausages.
00:03:14Christ, where is everybody?
00:03:16What shall I do?
00:03:18Get out of the way from the start, Susan.
00:03:33Look, let's walk.
00:03:36Frank.
00:03:39Mr Jarvis.
00:03:42His Lordship will have left Southampton just two hours behind us.
00:03:45I'm sure we'll have everything in order for him.
00:03:47Did no-one think to regulate the clocks in the last three months?
00:03:54Mr Keneally, your seat of the luggage.
00:03:56If you please, the family's to be unloaded.
00:03:59Mr Keneally?
00:04:02Keneally!
00:04:04He went in, Mr Jarvis.
00:04:10Oops.
00:04:13Well, do I smell nice?
00:04:15Come on, lads, let's get these difficult buggers shifted.
00:04:21Here you are, ladies. Feast your eyes on that.
00:04:30I thought you'd be waiting.
00:04:32There was no-one to help me down the stairs with Harry.
00:04:34Keneally!
00:04:36How are you?
00:04:37Go up and get your things. I'm taking you home.
00:04:39What?
00:04:40We're going back to Ireland. My father sent for me.
00:04:42There's a yard in chaos out there.
00:04:44You can chase skirt in your own time.
00:04:46Am I bright to be, Mr Jarvis?
00:04:48Not in the next few hours, I trust.
00:04:50Come on, man, work to do.
00:04:52I'll see you later.
00:04:54I'll see you later.
00:04:56Not in the next few hours, I trust. Come on, man, work to do.
00:04:59Best go and do it then.
00:05:06What did you say?
00:05:07I only came back for you.
00:05:09When where do we get there?
00:05:13Have you lost your senses?
00:05:14It's not slavery, mate.
00:05:16I'm not in bloody chains.
00:05:18Go on, put your things together.
00:05:20You can't just decide to...
00:05:22Off and running.
00:05:25Free.
00:05:27I mean it, love.
00:05:34Think very carefully, miss.
00:05:36You'll get no character.
00:05:38Frank.
00:05:39Are you going with this man?
00:05:47Of course you're not.
00:05:48Good girl.
00:05:50Get back to your work, then.
00:05:53As for you, you pick up your trappings and go.
00:05:56In my arm time.
00:06:02See you in a bit, Grace.
00:06:06You won't.
00:06:08Who the hell are you?
00:06:10George Cosmo, sir. New footman.
00:06:12You think so, do you?
00:06:16You will take a walk to the village.
00:06:19You will adjust this to the time on the church clock
00:06:22by pulling out the winder thus and adjusting the hands thus.
00:06:25You will then return, hot foot.
00:06:28But first, I'm going to have you in livery.
00:06:34As for you...
00:06:36Save it for the new lads. It's too wet behind the ears.
00:06:39I go when I'm good and ready.
00:06:44As from this moment,
00:06:47we do not have an under-butler.
00:06:51Mr Keneally has been disgraced,
00:06:54and none of you...
00:06:57None of you will speak to him.
00:07:00Understand?
00:07:09They're a slaggy match in bloody Venice.
00:07:11They never.
00:07:12You do as you're bloody well told, Keneally,
00:07:14and they come straight back at him.
00:07:16You happen to think so, do you?
00:07:18I thought they sorted it all out.
00:07:20What about Grace May?
00:07:21Maybe she'll sod off with him.
00:07:23So what do you reckon?
00:07:25Fancy a shag with a new under-butler, eh?
00:07:28Come on, let's get these things shifted.
00:07:30It's starting to take it down. Come on, quickly!
00:07:39What's wrong with him?
00:07:41It's dinner time.
00:07:43Got any time to eat or something?
00:07:45What a good idea. Why didn't I think of that?
00:07:48Cook's got a bad one.
00:07:50Anyhow, it's not a cook's job.
00:07:52He'll have to ask Prince Albert.
00:07:55If you mean me, Miss Fat Arse,
00:07:58the title is chef.
00:08:00Sorry, chef.
00:08:02The cook prepares slop for pigs like you.
00:08:05But Lord Harry's a snurge is born,
00:08:07and his meals are prepared by me,
00:08:10which takes time and thought.
00:08:14You!
00:08:15Out of that bench and leave my oven.
00:08:18You!
00:08:19Hang this up.
00:08:21Because God is in his oven,
00:08:24and Felix Krauss is back in his kitchen!
00:08:32Bread.
00:08:36Milk.
00:08:37And...
00:08:41Twisted sugar.
00:08:44It's for the boy.
00:08:46Oi, Grace!
00:08:48Sorry to hear your troubles.
00:08:50It's a bugger that, your fella going loony.
00:08:52I'll pack your bag, shall I? Time we got shot of you.
00:08:55She's not going.
00:08:56Yeah, she is.
00:08:57Made for each other, her and mad Frank.
00:09:00Who said I'm not?
00:09:02Well, you're not, mate.
00:09:03Maybe he wants to tag along.
00:09:04Three in a bed. Lovely.
00:09:08She's a charmer.
00:09:10Thanks for Harry's tea.
00:09:13But she's right, though.
00:09:14That Frank's a wild man.
00:09:16You don't want to spend the rest of your life
00:09:17tied to someone like that.
00:09:19Come on, Harry.
00:09:21You mind your business and I'll mind mine.
00:09:26Don't need rescuing.
00:09:29How about we all need rescuing sometimes.
00:09:31George Cosmo.
00:09:32As in Cosmos.
00:09:34One of the stars.
00:09:36Your servant.
00:09:41Mr. Jarvis?
00:09:42Susan's bringing us tea and cake.
00:09:44A welcome home treat.
00:09:46Appreciate it.
00:09:50Now,
00:09:53Frank's been eating.
00:09:55He's hopped down the drive.
00:09:59He's just walked out on us.
00:10:01He's got a gun.
00:10:03He's got a gun.
00:10:05He's got a gun.
00:10:07He's got a gun.
00:10:09He's got...
00:10:11He's got a gun pointed at us.
00:10:13He never did.
00:10:16Good riddance.
00:10:17Nothing but insolence and temper since the day we left.
00:10:20His father wants him to take over the Tannery.
00:10:23He's welcome to it.
00:10:24A Tannery?
00:10:27Poor Grace.
00:10:28A lifetime of liming, pelts,
00:10:30and the stench of death.
00:10:31She won't give up Taplos for that.
00:10:33Ah, but for love.
00:10:34But she's not going with him.
00:10:36She has more sense.
00:10:38Ah, it's a very good recommendation
00:10:42for a very good house.
00:10:44It's fit, and strong, and very courteous.
00:10:53So this is from the housekeeper?
00:10:57I did come through.
00:11:02Thank you, Susan.
00:11:05She did send a letter by the time.
00:11:07I don't care if she sent a proposal of marriage
00:11:09written in her own blood.
00:11:11Since when did any housekeeper have responsibility
00:11:13for male members of staff?
00:11:18I know you women and young men.
00:11:22They wrap you around their little fingers.
00:11:26We are not a refuge for good-looking layabouts.
00:11:37God gave us ears to save our feet.
00:11:47Oi!
00:11:48I've not missed them, have I?
00:11:50Got back about an hour ago.
00:11:52How come no one told me?
00:11:53Ah, they're making time from Southampton.
00:11:55It has me up for another bollocking.
00:11:57Why? What's the panic?
00:11:58I'm only supposed to be stood here
00:11:59like bloody little Bo Peep for every bloody carriage
00:12:02that passes, isn't I?
00:12:03The master's idea of a pastoral idol, isn't it?
00:12:07Wanker.
00:12:08Oh.
00:12:08Oi, Shepherd.
00:12:11The Earl's not back yet.
00:12:13Left Southampton two hours after the household.
00:12:16Be back soon, no?
00:12:18Just thought you'd like to know.
00:12:34William Forrest.
00:12:37George Codman.
00:12:38First footman with great expectations of promotion.
00:12:41Second footman with a bit of luck and a fair wind.
00:12:43Well, so shorthanded they just count your legs.
00:12:45If there's more than one, you'll do.
00:12:46Yeah. Why the statues?
00:12:47Horrible great things.
00:12:49Uppercrown says we're carting them to proof.
00:12:51New boy!
00:12:53My pantry.
00:12:53Bring your character.
00:12:55Mrs. Ryan has it, sir.
00:12:56A character, lad.
00:12:58Not some scrawled note from a bloody female.
00:13:01No, don't worry about it.
00:13:02Ritual humiliation.
00:13:04We've all been there.
00:13:04You going into that or what?
00:13:12Come on, then.
00:13:13Let's get these boogers moved.
00:13:15Quite the blue-eyed boy, according to your character.
00:13:19Any special talents?
00:13:21Shooting?
00:13:22Running?
00:13:23The Earl likes his athletes.
00:13:26Not really, sir.
00:13:28You're too modest.
00:13:30Judging by your speed to the church and back,
00:13:33you'll give our Frederick something to worry about?
00:13:36A bit more bookish than athletic.
00:13:40I'm learning French, Mr. Jarvis, in case the family visit Paris.
00:13:43Are you any good?
00:13:45En Francais, si vous plait, monsieur.
00:13:49Try, in case the family visits Paris.
00:13:52I'm French.
00:13:54Try, in case the family visits Paris.
00:14:00Si.
00:14:03La famille...
00:14:08...visit Paris.
00:14:10Paris.
00:14:11Paris.
00:14:13Oh, well.
00:14:15Never mind.
00:14:16I've only just started, Mr. Jarvis.
00:14:18I am hard-working and ambitious.
00:14:22I have no doubt of the latter.
00:14:25As to the former, I'll study in his under-butler.
00:14:28When will I learn?
00:14:30Let's just wait for your character.
00:14:33Shall we?
00:14:35A woman's opinion.
00:14:40I prefer something a little less febrile and heartfelt,
00:14:44like the considered opinion of your butler.
00:14:47I've written to Mr. Savage, and he's prompt with his replies.
00:14:51Here she is.
00:14:53You may go.
00:14:55Sir.
00:14:56Promises are ironed.
00:14:58Everyone in their places in five minutes.
00:15:01Sir.
00:15:08Come on!
00:15:09Come on!
00:15:10Come on!
00:15:11Come on!
00:15:12Come on!
00:15:13Come on!
00:15:14Come on!
00:15:15Come on!
00:15:16Come on!
00:15:17Come on!
00:15:18Come on!
00:15:19Come on!
00:15:21Come on!
00:15:22Come on!
00:15:31May your bollocks blacken and drop off my lord.
00:15:38I've lost a shoulder bundle.
00:15:39There is where I can find any damn thing.
00:15:45You never heard of a iron?
00:15:47You never heard of a smack on the face?
00:15:49Here, what's your name?
00:15:50Knockout.
00:15:51I've just got to write a letter to my old mum
00:15:52before I miss the post.
00:15:55Shut up and move your arses.
00:15:58Have you got any paper?
00:16:00What do you want paper for?
00:16:02Two minutes, come along.
00:16:03Mr. Jarvis is waiting with his watch in his hand.
00:16:19Johnny Boots, since when were you a stable lad?
00:16:34Over with the house servants, if you please.
00:16:44His lordship paid for a matching pair and we have an odd sock.
00:16:57Housemaids are a credit to you, Mrs. Ryan, as ever.
00:17:03And your ladies' maids, the footmen, the grooms.
00:17:11What we'll have to do.
00:17:18Cornelia, you have the cheek of the devil.
00:17:28Get your filthy feet off that carpet.
00:17:34Grace.
00:17:35Grace!
00:17:36Grace, may I?
00:17:45You will take your leave this minute, Mr. Cornelia.
00:17:47Grace, come down.
00:17:48William, see him off.
00:17:49Touch me for us and I'll have you.
00:17:52Do as you're told.
00:17:54Will you come down to me?
00:18:14William, get him out of here.
00:18:16Round the back, double quick.
00:18:18Get shot of him once and for all.
00:18:20Look at you!
00:18:23Look at what you've done to me, you lackey's all!
00:18:32Guards, come in!
00:18:33Mr. Cornelia!
00:18:37Get back to your place, Forrest.
00:18:38You're useless!
00:18:39Oh, for God's sake.
00:18:40Grace.
00:18:41Leave me alone.
00:18:42I just want to know, who brings the post here?
00:18:57Post?
00:18:58Any bloody post, Grace.
00:18:59Piss off and leave me alone.
00:21:30He was, he was standing there with his pants around his shanks, shaking hands with a bleeding
00:21:59bishop.
00:22:00All right, ladies.
00:22:02I'd have laughed if I'd seen you.
00:22:03What were you doing in his room?
00:22:04Well, I had a cold fall, so I went in to stop the rug burning.
00:22:09You don't need to hide, then, had you?
00:22:11You cock up.
00:22:12I get a bollocking.
00:22:13I take bollockings for no one.
00:22:14Well, there was me thinking you were just a first footman, not the Prince Regent.
00:22:18And you're no one, son.
00:22:20We've lost the bloody trunk.
00:22:21It's got my best toes in it.
00:22:22Oh, no, the brandy.
00:22:27You are joking.
00:22:28It's got my best in those shoes and all the brandy.
00:22:29No, no.
00:22:30It's in the trunk with the trees, the liquor.
00:22:31Oh, yeah, you can bring back a load of booze, but you can't manage anything for me.
00:22:32Where's my best day dress?
00:22:33Well, it's in the same trunk.
00:22:34I knew it.
00:22:35He only wants them damn ugly things up on the roof.
00:22:36Oh, bloody brandy.
00:22:37Give him a slap, for God's sake, Hester.
00:22:38The statues will.
00:22:39On the roof.
00:22:40Now.
00:22:41Fred?
00:22:42Don't ask me.
00:22:43Joseph.
00:22:44Don't ask me.
00:22:45Joseph.
00:22:46Don't ask me.
00:22:47Don't ask me.
00:22:48Don't ask me.
00:22:49Don't ask me.
00:22:50Don't ask me.
00:22:51Don't ask me.
00:22:52Don't ask me.
00:22:53Don't ask me.
00:22:59Sir?
00:23:06New boy.
00:23:07You're not getting out of this.
00:23:09Would have missed it for the world.
00:23:15Come on, Will.
00:23:16Lift it higher.
00:23:17She won't go up any further.
00:23:19I've got a right knife fell here.
00:23:20Let's take it up the main staircase, then.
00:23:22What?
00:23:23There was nothing else for it.
00:23:26Right, you two.
00:23:27Take your boots off.
00:23:30Push me, fish.
00:23:36Just better looking enough, girl.
00:23:37You ready, mate?
00:23:38Just about the same weight.
00:23:40Just had a girl on top, Fred.
00:23:42You ready?
00:23:43Always ready, me.
00:23:45Just lower it down.
00:23:46Let her slip.
00:23:47I like it if she slips.
00:23:49Here she comes, the slut.
00:23:51Get your hands off me.
00:23:52I'd rather have Lady Caroline.
00:23:54Shh, boys.
00:23:55Don't talk to the devil.
00:23:56Don't talk to the devil.
00:24:23You're a gigantic bitch.
00:24:26Come on, William.
00:24:27I've got a job to do.
00:24:28One more for the Pope.
00:24:30Damage her.
00:24:31You'd do well to follow good advice, Mr. Forrest.
00:24:34You get her onto her fat arse, get her into the corridor,
00:24:37and leave her for the night.
00:24:38We have dinner to serve.
00:24:40In the morning, William,
00:24:43I want her and her old man on the roof by midday tomorrow
00:24:46and no more silly pantomimes.
00:24:51Why have you got one tit open to the air?
00:24:54Oh, same reason you're going meat and two veg
00:24:57waving in the wind, husband.
00:24:59What do you think of anything else?
00:25:00She only wants me for my salami.
00:25:03Oh, husband, husband, all these promises.
00:25:07I thought so.
00:25:09Half past ten and it's bedlam.
00:25:11This is not Italy.
00:25:13I will not tolerate sloppy foreign ways in my household.
00:25:16Frederick, down.
00:25:22And as for you, Mr. Forrest,
00:25:23you've precious little to strut about.
00:25:27My back passage is still obstructed by some half-naked heathen.
00:25:46Well, I don't know if she's boasting or complaining, if you ask me.
00:25:49Let's all scream a bit more and bring her back, shall we?
00:25:51Are you still here?
00:25:53I thought Owen Frank was true love.
00:25:54Don't start, Esther.
00:25:56Now, you haven't got a man of your own, love.
00:25:58You keep your eyes tight shut when you walk past mine.
00:26:01It's always a bit tricky with your William.
00:26:03You never know where he'll grab you next.
00:26:05You wish.
00:26:07No, love, I really don't.
00:26:09If I wanted to, I could have a man ten times his worth
00:26:12and a night still.
00:26:15Charming.
00:26:16And for your information, the one with the bow and arrow is Artemis.
00:26:19So?
00:26:21She doesn't have tits.
00:26:22She has a breast.
00:26:23Just the one?
00:26:26Actaeon saw her naked,
00:26:28so she changed him into a deer and then she shot him.
00:26:33She's the goddess of hunters.
00:26:36She's not a tart.
00:26:38You're confusing her with Esther.
00:26:46Come on.
00:27:16Come on.
00:27:47Is that it, then?
00:27:49You should be so glad to have that pillow.
00:27:53My guts still aren't right.
00:27:55He's puked in every sea in Europe.
00:28:03Well, thanks.
00:28:05God, I've been looking forward to this for weeks.
00:28:08Stuff it, then.
00:28:10Well?
00:28:14Charlotte brought it back for me.
00:28:17I'll take you there one day, if you're a good girl.
00:28:20You won't even have to take a boat, will you?
00:28:23Just one.
00:28:25I'll be back in a week.
00:28:27I'll be back in a week.
00:28:29I'll be back in a week.
00:28:31I'll be back in a week.
00:28:33I'll be back in a week.
00:28:35I'll be back in a week.
00:28:37I'll be back in a week.
00:28:39I'll walk across the seven seas.
00:28:47Wasting your time with her.
00:28:49Frank and Annie don't give up easy.
00:28:51And does George Cosmay?
00:28:53She'll go after him.
00:28:55She hasn't yet.
00:28:57Either way,
00:29:00she's too good for you.
00:29:03The way I see it, George,
00:29:06the underbutler, gets first pick.
00:29:09Not my meal, am I not?
00:29:13The under-butler, not some spotty foreman.
00:29:16You under-butler, that's a laugh, isn't it?
00:29:19Do you hear that, cocky sod?
00:29:39Aren't you supposed to be upstairs?
00:30:09You shouldn't do that.
00:30:13Yeah, you shouldn't be in the scullery.
00:30:18Dear Mr Jarvis, so why are you writing to him?
00:30:22I'm not.
00:30:23Yes, you are.
00:30:24I'm not, just...
00:30:26Sod you, Grace.
00:30:30Are you faking a character?
00:30:32Shh.
00:30:36Look, I'm not a villain.
00:30:38I'm not.
00:30:39I just need this job.
00:30:41I've dreamed of a place like this since I was...
00:30:43You've never been a footman before, have you?
00:30:45I know what to do, Grace.
00:30:46I've seen enough.
00:30:49Mr Savage, the butler, was a bastard.
00:30:52Hated me.
00:30:53I kept putting in for footman, but you...
00:30:55I've heard him talking about Mr Savage.
00:30:57Worked together years ago.
00:30:59What if he knows he's writing?
00:31:03If he does, I'm finished with it.
00:31:05It's worth a go, isn't it?
00:31:08I suppose so.
00:31:12See you in the morning.
00:31:23His name's not Jarvis.
00:31:25It's just what the master calls all his butlers.
00:31:28His given name's Walter Corey.
00:31:30C-O-R-R-Y.
00:31:59Italian brandy.
00:32:02I wouldn't cook with it.
00:32:05They thought they could smuggle this in behind my back.
00:32:08When you're that age, Felix, you think everyone's stupid.
00:32:11That's true.
00:32:18I will remind you men that I do not accept incomplete livery.
00:32:22You're a disgrace.
00:32:23The lost trunk, Mr Jarvis.
00:32:25My heart bleeds.
00:32:28Mrs Ryan's girls put you all to shame.
00:32:34I will also remind you that servants are not permitted
00:32:36to keep spirits anywhere on the estate.
00:32:39Is that clear?
00:32:42Did any of you bring whiskey?
00:32:44Brandy?
00:32:45Any other spirit back from Rome?
00:32:49Hmm?
00:32:51Well?
00:32:56What is it, Mr Mackey?
00:32:58The undertaker, sir.
00:32:59I'll be there.
00:33:05In the absence of Frank Keneally,
00:33:09William, you will act as under butler.
00:33:17For now.
00:33:20You are dismissed.
00:33:21You will have statues littering every hallway and entry.
00:33:35Well done, Will.
00:33:36I knew you'd get it.
00:33:37So did I.
00:33:38About bloody time, eh?
00:33:39I said now.
00:33:41Just one of these little games.
00:33:42I've got the job.
00:33:44Hear that, Grace?
00:33:45I'm the under butler's sweetheart.
00:33:47That's you fulfilled a lifetime ambition.
00:33:49Nearly went to the nearly under butler.
00:33:51You'll know when you look me!
00:33:52Girls!
00:33:53Girls!
00:33:54Girls!
00:33:55Girls!
00:33:56Girls!
00:33:57Some bloody statues.
00:33:58Where's Cosmo got to?
00:34:06He's not in the truffle then, sir.
00:34:08Truffled a few buckets of ice on top of him.
00:34:11Earl should have had him quietly done away with years ago.
00:34:13There's not a tooth in his head.
00:34:16Usual Sturges, born, headstone.
00:34:20Full embalming, all the usual.
00:34:24He was a good dog in his day.
00:34:26At least we don't have to stuff him and stick him on the roof.
00:34:31Any post yet?
00:34:32Should be hearing from your butler today.
00:34:42You only had to ask.
00:34:50They'd give me a hard time, wouldn't they?
00:34:51Right, well, the woke up mothers, mate.
00:34:55Not that mine, mate.
00:34:56She'd write every bloody day if she could afford to.
00:35:00I'm going to see Jarvis now.
00:35:01You want me to take him up?
00:35:02No.
00:35:03There's nothing for him.
00:35:04It's all for Mrs. Ryan, you idiot.
00:35:14Didn't even say goodbye.
00:35:16He didn't want you to say anything.
00:35:18Just pick up your bags and run after him like a little child.
00:35:22You were wise and brave not to give in to him.
00:35:27I know it hurts.
00:35:30But it'll pass.
00:35:32In a couple of years, he'll just be a distant memory.
00:35:35Mm-hmm.
00:35:37Mrs. Ryan.
00:35:44I had a friend once engaged to be married.
00:35:49On the very brink.
00:35:51And then for all sorts of reasons, she couldn't go through with it.
00:35:54Looked at him and realized that she didn't trust him,
00:35:57that he wasn't...
00:36:03She could have married him easily.
00:36:07But her head drained.
00:36:09And now, 12 years on, she's a senior position
00:36:12and horizons she'd never dreamed of.
00:36:16Well, she hears of him from time to time
00:36:19and he's nothing and no one.
00:36:23She doesn't have any regrets.
00:36:26Or many regrets.
00:36:30Yes?
00:36:33Mrs. Ryan.
00:36:35Right, go on.
00:36:37Busy yourself with your duties.
00:36:39And turn a deaf eye to any doubts.
00:36:41Do you... A blind ear, do you...
00:36:43Oh, go on.
00:36:48It's a perfect moment.
00:36:50It's not enough.
00:36:52You let go.
00:36:54I've done it now.
00:37:09It's not a common circus and no one is dead.
00:37:14Return to your duties.
00:37:17Return to your duties.
00:37:21Mrs. Ryan.
00:37:27The gods are falling.
00:37:29As false gods will.
00:37:31When you hear me talking, get on out of here.
00:37:34Yeah?
00:37:47Mr. Jarvis, sir.
00:37:51Your doing, is it?
00:37:54Yes, sir.
00:37:56All on your own?
00:37:58Yes, sir.
00:38:00An atlas in your service, Mr. Jarvis.
00:38:03Able to move whole worlds on his own.
00:38:06I rigged up a pulley system, but it seems the bannisters couldn't take the strain.
00:38:10Are you a total bloody idiot?
00:38:12Mrs. Ryan was worrying.
00:38:14Blocking the stairs.
00:38:16You said by noon, it's well past that.
00:38:20William's given up, so I thought I'd give it a try.
00:38:23Typical William.
00:38:25We're lucky it didn't bring the whole staircase down, was it?
00:38:28It's cool, it's cool, it's cool.
00:38:30At least one Italian won't be fathering any more bambinos.
00:38:37Bloody thing fell off in Rome.
00:38:39Naples and then Calais.
00:38:42Kept on sticking it back, but every time.
00:39:07Going up to the house?
00:39:09Later, to have a beer with the lads.
00:39:12Tell Grace from me I'm not leaving without her.
00:39:14Where are you going?
00:39:16Just tell her I'm going nowhere until she's with me.
00:39:18Tell her the usual time, the usual place.
00:39:30There you are, you sneaky swine.
00:39:32I wanted to help her, but that nasty William, he couldn't be arsed.
00:39:36The point is, Will, you copped her.
00:39:38And I got us out of it.
00:39:41You've wrecked that chair.
00:39:43What is it?
00:39:44A machine for making underbucklers,
00:39:46so you can stop creeping around Jarvis.
00:39:49I must have joined her as well, eh?
00:39:51I've put my arse up in this hole for seven years,
00:39:54waiting for bloody Frank to move on.
00:39:56And now he has.
00:39:58And no-one's going to bolt it up for me.
00:40:07LAUGHTER
00:40:13Come on, lads.
00:40:16Who's she dragged in now?
00:40:18God knows. She only goes to medical men and liquors.
00:40:21Yeah.
00:40:22Oi, Susan, who's the mophead?
00:40:25He's a doctor.
00:40:27Aren't you?
00:40:28I'm not fully a doctor.
00:40:30No, it's cos Dad's.
00:40:32Bloody hell.
00:40:33Here's Dad Blow from Lidderminton Powell.
00:40:36He's one of the embalmer.
00:40:38The embalmer? Susan!
00:40:40He's a medical man.
00:40:42He is.
00:40:43Oh, York.
00:40:44You'll not let him touch your tits, have you?
00:40:47Why don't you all just shut up?
00:40:49Oh, think where them bony hands have been.
00:40:51Perking up a dog's arse.
00:40:53It's his silver wing.
00:40:55Take it for a snog in the graveyard, love.
00:40:57They'll have a good stuff for bloody hell.
00:41:00It's Grace.
00:41:02Back to the dig.
00:41:03You be the gentleman.
00:41:04And I'll be the virgin.
00:41:05Right, lads.
00:41:06Who wants an extra jug of beer?
00:41:08Come on, Randy.
00:41:09Work to be done.
00:41:11Fred, put her down.
00:41:23Nice and easy. Very nice and quiet.
00:41:26Oh, sorry, George.
00:41:28That's it. Very nice.
00:41:29Just keep it moving.
00:41:30Mind that lamp, Josh.
00:41:32Good work, Mr Forrest.
00:41:39You all right, Josh?
00:41:43That I gaze on so fondly today.
00:41:49Grace.
00:41:51It's just such a mess.
00:41:54Would you like me to help, Mrs Rye?
00:41:57No.
00:41:58You go on out and enjoy yourself with your friends.
00:42:00I'm nearly finished.
00:42:10Take no notice.
00:42:11I'm just ignorant.
00:42:13It's a very skilled job, I know that.
00:42:15You've got to be...
00:42:17sensitive and...
00:42:19artistic.
00:42:22Mmm.
00:42:23Mmm.
00:42:24Pops on my pillow
00:42:27An oar in the night
00:42:31My oar labours empty
00:42:34Earth dyes pepper white
00:42:38Trembles me weary knee
00:42:41My child's nearly died
00:42:44Then comes the unbuttoned foot
00:42:47That's my wife they've got nearby
00:42:51La la la, la la la
00:42:56This is the most precious one of all.
00:43:00A replica from the basilica of the Church of St Simon.
00:43:05I don't want you breathing beer all over it.
00:43:09The finger of St Paul.
00:43:12The what?
00:43:13The holding finger of the sainted bull.
00:43:17And how much do they please you for that?
00:43:19Contribution to church violence?
00:43:21Contribution to a robbing a poor bastard.
00:43:24Do saints have no knuckles, then?
00:43:27So are you.
00:43:28Come in, though.
00:43:29That's about as holy as your family can get.
00:43:31Bloody ironic.
00:43:34Never mind.
00:43:35Just do a box of Peter's Bailey, that'll do.
00:43:39Where's my dancing partner?
00:43:50Oh.
00:43:56Frank?
00:44:15I was so worried.
00:44:18Thor might never see you again.
00:44:21We ain't even spoken, not properly kissed.
00:44:24Why didn't you come with me?
00:44:27Don't be so cold, Frank.
00:44:29Please.
00:44:30I've waited months for that.
00:45:00Why didn't you come with me?
00:45:02Never met your family.
00:45:04Don't know anything about Ireland.
00:45:06Don't know anything about tanning halls.
00:45:08You know everything about me.
00:45:10We can be on a boat this time tomorrow.
00:45:12You were going to be a butler.
00:45:13I was going to be a lady's maid.
00:45:14We were going to travel the world.
00:45:15I've done that.
00:45:17But I haven't.
00:45:20We've courted near on two years now.
00:45:23I kept myself true to you.
00:45:24I've done everything you've wanted of me.
00:45:26I know.
00:45:27I've told my father I'm bringing back a wife.
00:45:30I've not had the chance to talk about or tell you how I felt.
00:45:33My mistake then.
00:45:38I thought you loved me.
00:45:43I do.
00:45:44You love this place more.
00:45:46You love the idiot more.
00:45:50I don't know your parents.
00:45:52Tannery, all I know is about that.
00:45:54That smell, it's all anybody knows, I know.
00:45:58But you get used to it.
00:46:00You don't smell it anymore.
00:46:03You always said it was hell.
00:46:05But now I'll be the boss.
00:46:09The master.
00:46:13And you'll be my missus.
00:46:18I've come halfway across England for you.
00:46:22I stood there in front of everyone and begged you.
00:46:26I won't be made a fool of.
00:46:29Who, me?
00:46:31Two years courting a bloody virgin.
00:46:33To be humiliated in front of those gay Benedicts.
00:46:38Stop it!
00:46:41Stop it!
00:46:44No!
00:46:46Get off me!
00:46:48No!
00:46:51Stop it!
00:46:53Keneally!
00:46:57Bugger off, boy.
00:46:59Just leave her alone.
00:47:00Toddle back to your new little friends.
00:47:01This has nothing to do with you.
00:47:03I just have to shout, mate.
00:47:04You'll be coughing up blood for us mammies, boy.
00:47:11You have to count to three to get back to your kennel.
00:47:15One.
00:47:18Two.
00:47:27Three years in the infantry, Sam,
00:47:28and you learn how to hurt people real bad.
00:47:31Get up.
00:47:37You're never coming back, Paddy.
00:47:39Say it.
00:47:40You're never coming back.
00:47:50Don't worry.
00:47:53I'll be back.
00:48:11I know.
00:48:13You don't need rescuing.
00:48:29You kenny-witty boy,
00:48:30when he comes so back to you,
00:48:32kenny-witty boy,
00:48:33in the top of the back to you,
00:48:34kenny-witty boy,
00:48:35so far, far away in the butler's pantry in the morning.
00:48:42I know you like that face.
00:48:44You ain't going to get the job.
00:48:53Morning, beautiful.
00:48:58I'll try again.
00:49:00Good morning, Miss May.
00:49:03Mr. Joe, we should get your character this morning,
00:49:05shouldn't we?
00:49:07Say goodbye now.
00:49:08Save us the trouble later.
00:49:11I'm not done just yet.
00:49:14I wish you'd stop thanking me.
00:49:21It was fair, fat and beautiful,
00:49:22with legs all like trees,
00:49:25all like pudding bowls hung down to its lid.
00:49:45Morning.
00:49:48Morning.
00:49:50Morning, my friend.
00:49:51That's the best ball job, isn't it?
00:49:54Oi, Posty!
00:49:55Save your legs!
00:49:57Oi!
00:50:01Oi, Posty!
00:50:04Oi, Post!
00:50:05Oi!
00:50:22Why aren't you upstairs?
00:50:23Better things to do, mate.
00:50:24Will you tell me where you're going first?
00:50:26Don't make me hurt you, Will.
00:50:27Don't you make me laugh!
00:50:29George!
00:50:33Christ!
00:50:43I'm sweating suffering, Christ.
00:50:54God help me now, or I'll never sin again.
00:51:04Your character, I believe.
00:51:09I need a sharp knife for the seal.
00:51:11Give me one knife.
00:51:41You haven't wasted the summer.
00:52:08We've hung new curtains in all the morning rooms.
00:52:11And the morning room has been painted and papered.
00:52:13I think everything is in the best of order.
00:52:17I would expect no less.
00:52:24I've unpacked my boxes.
00:52:28For you.
00:52:34I thought we might...
00:52:39There will be 18 for the next month, next Monday.
00:52:43The usual 120 for breakfast, luncheon, stirrup cup.
00:52:58The Coliseum.
00:53:02The Coliseum.
00:53:03By a local artist.
00:53:10Let's see to the rabble.
00:53:22Mr Jarvis, do you want me in Frank's old livery, sir?
00:53:25You?
00:53:26I just thought we were the house guests
00:53:29Ah, yes.
00:53:31I thought if it was going to fit anyone, it would probably be snuggest on Mr Cosmo.
00:53:40I guess you must have heard from my dear old friend, Mr Savage.
00:53:43Always said I was cut out for under butler.
00:53:46See you later.
00:53:47I'm past the bill.
00:54:01She gets worse.
00:54:05Why am I here?
00:54:08Oh, my God.
00:54:09Oh, my God.
00:54:10What is it, woman?
00:54:11It's Emma's bloody tongue, you doghouse.
00:54:13It's a miracle.
00:54:14Oh, my God.
00:54:15Somebody shut her up.
00:54:17Charlotte, stop it.
00:54:18What is it?
00:54:19It's the willy.
00:54:22Poppy.
00:54:24She should know.
00:54:27It wasn't his finger.
00:54:28It wasn't his finger.
00:54:29What's she on about?
00:54:31It's that Peter's pinky.
00:54:32St Paul's, this.
00:54:34And it wasn't, was it?
00:54:37It's a different colour than twice his foot.
00:54:40It's come to life.
00:54:42It's funny.
00:54:43It's come to life.
00:54:45Just like mine does every morning.
00:54:54Be careful, Will.
00:54:55Don't get any powder on my new outfit.
00:55:00Whoops.
00:55:01Oh, never mind.
00:55:02I'll clean it up before I wear it.
00:55:04I'm on my way to see Jarvis right now.
00:55:06This will probably be it.
00:55:08Don't be too sure about that.
00:55:10The thing is, I get this whiff of you.
00:55:13Let me see.
00:55:15What is that?
00:55:17Oh, yeah.
00:55:19Fraud.
00:55:22Do you know what I reckon, son?
00:55:24I reckon you're a bloody fake.
00:55:28William, William, William.
00:55:32I am going to be on your side.
00:55:35You've lost, mate.
00:55:36I have won.
00:55:37Shame.
00:55:39Oh, not my face.
00:55:41Not my bloody face.
00:55:42You moved.
00:55:43I didn't move, Will.
00:55:44You hit me straight on.
00:55:45Bones, look at my coat.
00:55:47My coat?
00:55:48I think you'll find that it's my bloody coat, gentlemen.
00:55:51Mr Adams?
00:55:52All the way from Glasgow.
00:55:54And gasping for a drink.
00:55:55We didn't know you were coming.
00:55:57Did you not?
00:55:58A pleasant surprise, then.
00:56:00Mr George Cosmo.
00:56:02Mr Adams' underboss at the Glasgow house.
00:56:05Position correct.
00:56:06Geography wrong.
00:56:08I'm transplanted here to the hallowed ground of Taplos.
00:56:12Mr Jarvis sent for me two days ago.
00:56:14Bastard.
00:56:16Sorry, Mr Adams.
00:56:18I think I can promise you will be.
00:56:21Fighting on duty.
00:56:23You, no pay for a month.
00:56:26You, ditto.
00:56:35Ah.
00:57:00Not under Butler after all.
00:57:02I'll get over it.
00:57:04You still upset?
00:57:06I'll get over it.
00:57:10We could go to Italy one day.
00:57:12That's what you really want?
00:57:14I want a lot of things.
00:57:16Same here.
00:57:18This is just the start.
00:57:20You'll have to learn to behave yourself, then.
00:57:24I'll be as good as gold from now, I promise.
00:57:28I will.
00:57:51You told me you were good at this.
00:57:53It's George.
00:57:55George, someone's coming.
00:58:17I said two.
00:58:19Put it back.
00:58:20Shut up. Look how many he's thiefed.
00:58:22We drink one, we sell one. Two at a time.
00:58:24It'll take him weeks to notice.
00:58:26Quit it.
00:58:37It's all about using this.

00:59:07Position right.
00:59:09Geography wrong.
00:59:13Pumper's git. Nasty git.
00:59:15I know why, of course.
00:59:17He's too old to make Butler now.
00:59:19This is him for life.
00:59:21Ugly bastard.
00:59:25You should have got a job.
00:59:29Where we'll keep an eye out for each other.
00:59:33What do you mean?
00:59:36My first task...
00:59:38Young gentleman.
00:59:40..will be to take your pathetic, shambling thorn
00:59:43into something his lordship can be proud of.
00:59:46Yeah, and a pig's bloody ear.
00:59:51Shit!
00:59:54Shit!

01:01:06Esther.
01:01:09She didn't mean to.
01:01:11She was just rushing to Harry.
01:01:13Then what is to stand for?
01:01:15That's a shame!
01:01:17It's you all over, innit?
