- 0:00Two whole days higher synin free.
- 0:03>> Not quite.
- 0:05[Laughter]
- 0:10>> There's something you haven't told me.
- 0:13>> Yes.
- 0:15>> Well, go on, tell me.
- 0:18>> Hi us to visit them this evening at a
- 0:21cottage
- 0:23for a barbecue.
- 0:31You didn't say yes.
- 0:33>> I didn't say anything. When does one
- 0:35ever say anything? We're just expected.
- 0:39Oh, don't cry, Emit.
- 0:43>> I hate it when you cry.
- 1:00There you are. I told you they're going
- 1:02away.
- 1:08[Laughter]
- 1:17>> Said, "Put it somewhere safe." I thought
- 1:19you could hold it.
- 1:39[Applause]
- 1:45That was quite a send off.
- 1:48We must never move, dear. We'd be
- 1:50greatly missed.
- 1:53It's rather humbling to realize how many
- 1:55friends we have. I thought Mr. Ridley
- 1:58looked rather shabby.
- 2:00>> He was just gardening.
- 2:03>> I expect he's lost heart. Poor man. His
- 2:06wife can't be an easy person to be
- 2:07married to.
- 2:09I've never heard us speak to him unless
- 2:11to give an order.
- 2:12>> Sounds familiar.
- 2:14>> Take the next right, dear.
- 2:16As we all know, the secret of marriage
- 2:19is give and take. Kindness,
- 2:22understanding, TOLERANCE.
- 2:28>> RICHARD, you should have turned right
- 2:30there, dear.
- 2:36>> What are you hiding for?
- 2:37>> I'm not hiding.
- 2:39>> You're hiding?
- 2:42>> You know perfectly well where I'm
- 2:43hiding.
- 2:44>> EMTT, you live here now. This is your
- 2:47front garden. You can't never use it
- 2:49just because higher may appear.
- 2:52>> You take her too seriously. The trick
- 2:55with higher synin is to just let things
- 2:58wash over you. I think that's how
- 3:00Richard survives.
- 3:03>> You're right, Liz. It's ridiculous. I'm
- 3:07a grown man. I'm married. Well,
- 3:11divorced.
- 3:14Why should I creep about in my own
- 3:16sister's front garden?
- 3:18>> You're quite right. It's ridiculous.
- 3:29>> Come along in Elizabeth. Thank you.
- 3:31High. Wipe your feet. Dear,
- 3:38you really shouldn't have bothered to
- 3:40invite me for a coffee high since when
- 3:41you're so busy.
- 3:42>> Oh, I have everything under control,
- 3:45dear. A well reggulated household or to
- 3:48be able to find time to make a cup of
- 3:50coffee for a neighbor, however
- 3:52glittering the occasion this evening. Do
- 3:54sit down, Elizabeth.
- 3:57No, not there, dear. I like to face the
- 3:59window.
- 4:02Perhaps EMTT would like to pop in for a
- 4:04coffee. Oh, no thank you, Hires. I think
- 4:07he's busy.
- 4:08>> Oh, well, that's nice. Keep his mind off
- 4:10his divorce. He mustn't feel that he's
- 4:14alone.
- 4:15>> I don't think he does, Hires. Not since
- 4:17he met you.
- 4:19How very kind.
- 4:21Now,
- 4:23will you have my better child,
- 4:25Elizabeth, if you promise to be careful,
- 4:28or a beaker?
- 4:36Beaker high since definitely be. I think
- 4:40perhaps that's wise. Don't you?
- 4:44>> Who else is coming this evening? Anyone
- 4:46I know?
- 4:48>> Your sister Violet perhaps?
- 4:53>> The one with the swimming pool? Well,
- 4:55no, actually.
- 4:56>> Oh, sorry to hear that. Well, it can't
- 4:59be helped. You know, Bruce isn't at all.
- 5:03Well,
- 5:03>> nothing serious. I hope. Well, I think
- 5:07he could just do with a change.
- 5:11[Music]
- 5:12That's probably the telephone.
- 5:15Richard will take it.
- 5:22It might be Sheridan. He loves to ring
- 5:25me and tell me about his new friends.
- 5:27Milk?
- 5:29No, thank you. He's made some very, very
- 5:33nice new friends. Sugar.
- 5:35No, thank you.
- 5:38>> Nice friends are so important, aren't
- 5:40they?
- 5:40>> Biscuits.
- 5:45>> And I don't mean the hearty sporting
- 5:47crowd either. All Sheridan's friends are
- 5:50very artistic.
- 5:52>> Hello, Liz. Telephone. Hi. It's your
- 5:55sister Violet again. Oh, Violet. Yes,
- 5:58the one with the swimming pool and rook
- 6:00for a poly.
- 6:01Perhaps Bruce is coming after all. He is
- 6:04not.
- 6:07What is it now, Violet?
- 6:10>> No, I haven't a girdle that might fit
- 6:12Bruce.
- 6:15No, I don't think it's
- 6:21now. Look, I resent the idea that I'm
- 6:24the only one, you know, who has a
- 6:26girdle.
- 6:27I do not pass my discontinued girdles on
- 6:30to Bruce.
- 6:32Well, if he's suddenly ashamed of his
- 6:34tummy, why doesn't he lose weight?
- 6:37Oh, why do you pamper him, Violet? I
- 6:40mean, apart from the money and the
- 6:42Mercedes.
- 6:44See, it doesn't even wobble. So, why
- 6:47can't I do it when hires here?
- 6:49>> ELIZABETH.
- 6:50[Laughter]
- 6:53[Applause]
- 7:04Just leave it and get out of here. Get
- 7:06out.
- 7:10Hallelujah. LOOK HERE.
- 7:13PULL YOURSELF TOGETHER, DEAR, and come
- 7:15and help me shift this car.
- 7:21[Music]
- 7:23>> You found some help. Who's that pushing
- 7:26the car with Rose? Is it? It's
- 7:30counselor. Mrs. Newent.
- 7:36Oh.
- 7:42Counselor, Mrs. Newent, how kind of you
- 7:45to volunteer.
- 7:46>> Volunteer? HOW DARE I NOT? WHEN someone
- 7:50his size says, "Give us a push," YOU
- 7:51GIVE HIM A PUSH.
- 7:54Have you seen the driver? Obviously some
- 7:57kind of thug.
- 8:01She's obviously his mole.
- 8:04Damn funny people to have around your
- 8:06place, Mrs. Bucket.
- 8:09We are all here to help each other. I
- 8:12always think,
- 8:17>> especially those suitable to serve on
- 8:19your committee.
- 8:21>> Very odd people.
- 8:24>> Well, of course, they're not really like
- 8:26this. They're in a film.
- 8:28>> A film?
- 8:30>> A film?
- 8:33>> Yes. My uh husband's film?
- 8:37Your husband makes films.
- 8:39>> I never knew that.
- 8:41>> Oh, yes. He's out now scouting for
- 8:46occasions.
- 8:47>> How jolly interesting. I must say
- 8:50someone's made these people up
- 8:51tremendously well.
- 8:54>> Extraordinary realism.
- 8:56>> THANK YOU.
- 8:59>> SWEAR he looked like that all his life.
- 9:05They've got your type dead, right?
- 9:08>> Do you mind? Who do you think you're
- 9:10>> PUSH THE CAR, ROSE? TIME FOR ANOTHER
- 9:12REHEVERSAL. ROSE, push the car.
- 9:16>> Rather fun, really.
- 9:19What part are you playing?
- 9:23>> Elizabeth hasn't changed yet. Her
- 9:26costumes inside.
- 9:27>> What about yours, Mrs. Bucket? Oh, and
- 9:31my costumes inside, too.
- 9:34>> Wouldn't have a small part for a busy
- 9:36counselor, would you?
- 9:38>> Wouldn't have a place on your committee
- 9:40for an enthusiastic, loyal, highly
- 9:43regarded lady well-versed.
- 9:44>> I should think something could be.
- 9:48>> Let's go inside and discuss our roles.
- 9:52>> Are you sure this is necessary?
- 9:54>> Of course, it's necessary. We acquired
- 9:57them for just this sort of occasion. Now
- 10:00come along
- 10:07here. Be crisp and decisive. I think the
- 10:10dominant cone here.
- 10:14That's right. And then it's partner
- 10:17here, dear.
- 10:21And to complete the triad, I think the
- 10:23equidistant up here. All right.
- 11:03Good morning, person.
- 11:09>> He's so shy, poor dear. I do seem to
- 11:13have this rather powerful effect on him.
- 11:20I really think he's a little attracted
- 11:22to me.
- 11:24Just a smidge in.
- 11:31>> Who's that at the door?
- 11:32>> Hinth.
- 11:34>> Hi, Sin.
- 11:37>> I haven't left her on the doorstep.
- 11:39>> Only because I'm not big enough to throw
- 11:40her back onto THE STREET.
- 11:42>> YOU CAN'T LEAVE her on the doorstep.
- 11:44>> We can try, Liz. If we both pull
- 11:46together, we can try.
- 11:49>> You've got a thing about Hyson.
- 11:50>> Don't let her in. She'll sing at me.
- 11:53>> She must have had some reason to come to
- 11:55the door. And it can't be to sing at
- 11:57you.
- 11:58>> Well, she will. She'll sing at me.
- 12:01>> Do come in high.
- 12:03>> Good morning, Elizabeth. Dear, thank
- 12:05you.
- 12:08>> I've just popped in to invite you to a
- 12:10little three-piece sweet warming this
- 12:12evening.
- 12:14It's just an informal little gathering.
- 12:17>> Where's your brother?
- 12:19[Laughter]
- 12:26>> Good morning, Emma.
- 12:28>> Isn't he shy?
- 12:31Should we say 7:00 then?
- 12:35And when we've all admired the suite,
- 12:36perhaps EMTT would run off a little
- 12:38rondto in its honor.
- 12:46AH, there you are. And almost on time.
- 12:53Come in. Come in.
- 13:00>> And there's Sheridan at Sheringham in
- 13:03his little sailor suit.
- 13:04>> Super.
- 13:07>> And there he is dawling on a donkey at
- 13:09Dish. Bless him. He was fearless.
- 13:12>> Then why is he crying?
- 13:15>> Well, I
- 13:17because the donkey was carrying him away
- 13:18from his mommy.
- 13:22>> We were always very close.
- 13:25>> Another cup of aromatic nut roasted
- 13:26special.
- 13:27>> No,
- 13:29>> no, thank you. I'm fine,
- 13:32>> Elizabeth. Oh, yours must be cold.
- 13:34>> No, no, no, thank you. Higher synth. No,
- 13:36I'm always a bit uneasy with your best
- 13:38china.
- 13:40No, I'm quite happy with my biscuit.
- 13:41Good. But just watch the crumbs, won't
- 13:43you?
- 13:47>> My Royal Dutton handpainted perinkle is
- 13:50not really my best china. It's just my
- 13:52everyday best. My really best best I
- 13:55shall keep for another time when you
- 13:57come for a more formal occasion. Perhaps
- 13:59a little musical swary followed by a
- 14:03little candle light supper. Now I've got
- 14:06another album somewhere.
- 14:19Well, thank you for the coffee and the
- 14:21tour through your albums, but we really
- 14:23have to be going.
- 14:24>> NO, YOU CAN'T GO NOW. NOT NOW. Not right
- 14:27now. Not until you've seen the other
- 14:29album.
- 14:30>> Desolate as I am not to see another
- 14:33album. I really do think
- 14:34>> Excuse me, don't move.
- 14:37Just sit there.
- 14:43>> I'll be back.
- 14:46>> Whatever you say.
- 14:53>> Well, let's go. I don't think I can face
- 14:55yet another album.
- 14:57>> No, she said don't move.
- 15:00>> We can't exactly be under house arrest.
- 15:07Can we
- 15:09please
- 15:09>> go and find daddy immediately? They've
- 15:11been doing that. Oh, can I just make a
- 15:13phone call to Mr. Vickers, sir?
- 15:15>> No, Rose. Not to one of your gentleman
- 15:18friends on my white slimline telephone,
- 15:21the instrument through which I have to
- 15:22speak to Sheridan. Supposeding we were
- 15:25across and he picked up some residue of
- 15:27your conversation.
- 15:29We must go and find Daddy now. We
- 15:32thought he might be here. Daddy would
- 15:34never come here looking for his ratchet
- 15:37book. Not in his long johns.
- 15:41Now just go and find him immediately.
- 15:46Will you get into the car? Onslow.
- 15:49Now, Enslow,
- 15:52>> she could do with a drop of water for
- 15:53the radiator.
- 15:54>> The water here wouldn't be suitable for
- 15:56your kind of radio.
- 16:00[Music]
- 16:04That's it. That sounds fine. Off you go,
- 16:06Arms. But hi, supposing daddy. Goodbye,
- 16:10dear. Give me a ring if you find daddy.
- 16:18Daddy, out there somewhere facing the
- 16:22might of the Luft Vafer.
- 16:26I'll
- 16:26>> leave.
- 16:29You can't leave her here.
- 16:31>> I'll be back.
- 16:32>> Where are you going?
- 16:33>> There's a little dog who lives at the
- 16:34end of the road she always plays with in
- 16:36the park. She moved when she sees him.
- 16:39>> How long will you be?
- 16:40>> I'll be back as soon as I can. In the
- 16:43meantime, don't feed her.
- 16:47Got no intention of feeding her.
- 16:51Go.
- 16:55You can't stay here.
- 16:58Go.
- 17:10>> Hi, Synth. I'm glad you've called. Now,
- 17:13you wanted me to be smart. Will does
- 17:15this meet with your approval?
- 17:16>> Yes, it's very nice, dear. Will you give
- 17:18me a hand? Some fools left half a camel
- 17:21or something on my driveway.
- 17:25I will not have it on my driveway when
- 17:27Mrs. Henderson arrives. You want me to
- 17:30help you move it dressed like this? I
- 17:32don't think it'll care how you dress,
- 17:33DEAR.
- 17:42>> You see half a camel?
- 17:45The major half. If we could just get it
- 17:48into the street. Can we just park it in
- 17:51the street? Well, I have no money for a
- 17:53meter.
- 17:54How are we going to manage this?
- 17:56>> Well, I think the best thing is if you
- 17:59push and I'll steer
- 18:03now. Just let me get a good grip.
- 18:10Now, pay attention, dog.
- 18:13Off we go then.
- 18:20[Laughter]
- 18:25Are you watching dear? Trying her since
- 18:28seems to be an awful lot of dog.
- 18:40>> I think we're winning, dear.
- 18:49[Applause]
- 19:02in a moment, MRS.
- 19:06PO, MRS. H. Don't worry, MRS. H. I'M
- 19:09SURE SHE'LL be back quite soon.
- 19:17Richard,
- 19:20>> one of these days you'll find me lying
- 19:22in a pool of blood.
- 19:24>> Listen to it. Wanted managing director
- 19:28frozen foods. Only persons of proven
- 19:32ability should apply for this senior
- 19:35position.
- 19:36>> Why are you telling me this?
- 19:38>> Because it's you, Richard. It's
- 19:40absolutely you. frozen food.
- 19:44>> Oh, not that bit, dear. But personally,
- 19:49and the firm is Frosticles.
- 19:52Their factory is only a few miles down
- 19:54the road. You could be home FOR LUNCH
- 19:57EVERY DAY.
- 19:58>> WAIT A MINUTE.
- 19:59>> You could have the firm's car. Probably
- 20:01a chauffeer.
- 20:02>> Hang on. Are you suggesting that I
- 20:04should apply?
- 20:05>> Well, not through the normal channels,
- 20:07dear. I mean, what's the point of
- 20:09knowing people if one has to apply
- 20:11through the normal channels?
- 20:13>> Do we know people?
- 20:14>> Oh, not just people. We know Frosticles
- 20:18himself.
- 20:20Or at least Mrs. Frosticles.
- 20:23The Milburns.
- 20:25That thrusting creature on the lady's
- 20:27lunchon committee.
- 20:29She was a hacket from Wilton Street
- 20:31before she laid herself shamelessly in
- 20:32the path of Frosticles.
- 20:35We must make sure that he knows you're
- 20:37available.
- 20:44>> Sit there and practice being firm. All
- 20:47you have to do is say no.
- 20:50>> Have you ever tried saying no to higher
- 20:52synth?
- 20:53>> Liz, she's just a human being.
- 21:00Just
- 21:02look, you're a free spirit. If you don't
- 21:04want to go around there for coffee when
- 21:05she asks you, say no.
- 21:08>> It doesn't make any difference. She
- 21:09never listens anyway.
- 21:12>> All right, we'll rehearse it. You sit
- 21:14there practicing steely determination,
- 21:17and I shall pretend to be higher synth.
- 21:23Greater love hath no man for his sister
- 21:27than to be higher synth. Right, here we
- 21:31go.
- 21:33Phone ringing.
- 21:36We'll answer it.
- 21:42>> Hello.
- 21:43>> Coffee at 11, Elizabeth.
- 21:47>> Thank you, Herin.
- 21:51>> Oh, no.
- 21:52>> I'm sorry, but you're so lifelike.
- 21:58A mini flowers in an English country.
- 22:08>> Would you like thatch?
- 22:10>> Well, I usually have cornflakes.
- 22:14>> Richard, pay attention, dear. I'm
- 22:16speaking of our cottage. Should it be
- 22:19thatch, do you think?
- 22:21>> Uh, you mean as well as heavily
- 22:22mortgaged?
- 22:25>> Oh, you you're serious then? Oh, I like
- 22:28the look of thatch, but is it practical?
- 22:31I mean, when we're entertaining and I've
- 22:33laid one of my elegant executive tables,
- 22:36the last thing I want is bits of straw
- 22:38falling into people's vicious smiles.
- 22:42>> Executive entertaining? That's more like
- 22:45you, hire. We're not really country
- 22:47material.
- 22:48>> Oh, nonsense, dear. I shall develop a
- 22:51country version of my candlelight
- 22:53suppers.
- 22:56A sort of plum and SWARY
- 23:03to be a farmer's book to be a farmer's
- 23:08book Richard.
- 23:24Beautiful day.
- 23:27[Laughter]
- 23:33That voice rips straight through me. She
- 23:36could remove people's socks with a voice
- 23:38like that.
- 23:42>> Is this hat suitable, dear?
- 23:45>> Uh, for what?
- 23:47>> For looking at country cottages?
- 23:50I mean, does it look rural in a
- 23:52sophisticated way? Um,
- 23:54>> or would you wear this one?
- 23:57>> No, it wouldn't suit me.
- 23:59>> Don't be silly, Richard. Now,
- 24:01concentrate. Which hat? This
- 24:06>> or
- 24:07this?
- 24:10>> Cynth, I hate decisions of this
- 24:13magnitude. First thing in the morning,
- 24:14it's unreasonable.
- 24:16>> You don't like my hats.
- 24:17>> Look, I never said I didn't like your
- 24:20hats,
- 24:21>> Richard.
- 24:23Is this the first in our marriage?
- 24:28>> I've heard about men in midlife crisis.
- 24:31>> Now, I'm warning you, Richard. I will
- 24:34not have you being unfaithful to my
- 24:36hats.
- 24:42[Laughter]
- 24:58Where are you?
- 25:02[Applause]
- 25:04>> I hope that's a large one. Liz,
- 25:15>> Richard, I have a sherry for you,
- 25:17Richard.
- 25:20Miz, found your way.
- 25:24>> I used to be a girl guide.
- 25:27Be with you in a moment.
- 25:30Oh,
- 25:33don't appear to be in a hurry. The
- 25:35hallmark of the perfect hostess.
- 25:47Jes
- 25:51skirts.
- 25:55>> We want to talk to you about Onslow.
- 25:59>> Well, I I I'd love to talk about Onslow,
- 26:02but not now, I'm afraid. Daisy, dear,
- 26:05I'm expecting guests at any moment. I
- 26:08think he's got another woman.
- 26:09>> That's nice for him, dear. We must have
- 26:10a chat about it sometime.
- 26:12>> You will listen in our hire.
- 26:14>> You will give my love to Onslow, won't
- 26:16you? Turn to daddy. Of course. How is
- 26:18daddy? I do wish you could stay, but
- 26:20it's impossible.
- 26:22[Applause]
- 26:24>> Unless of course you'd like to stay for
- 26:26a while.
- 26:32>> Rose,
- 26:35>> I'd know those legs anywhere.
- 26:38>> CP.
- 26:39ROSE
- 26:44[Applause]
- 26:45too long.
- 26:47[Music]
- 27:02Is there anyone anywhere WHO CAN PASS ME
- 27:04a drink?
- 27:15Hi, Assin. Why don't we postpone looking
- 27:18at properties until tomorrow?
- 27:21>> Richard,
- 27:23you know how much I'm looking forward to
- 27:25finding our second home in the country?
- 27:27>> Yes, I do know.
- 27:31>> It's just that I don't like you looking
- 27:33at properties on your own. But you can't
- 27:36possibly go, dear. You have to collect
- 27:38daddy at the police station.
- 27:41>> But we could get Onslow to pick him up.
- 27:44>> No, I will not have Onslow picking daddy
- 27:46up in broad daylight.
- 27:48>> One look at Onslow and they'll keep them
- 27:50both in for questioning.
- 27:53>> You'll have to go, dear.
- 27:55>> Well, I want
- 27:57No,
- 28:00>> you'll buy something enormous. I know
- 28:02you will.
- 28:06Who's going to drive you?
- 28:08>> Oh, Elizabeth will drive me.
- 28:09>> Ah, well, maybe she'll be too busy.
- 28:12>> Now, leave. Leave it. Leave it.
- 28:18>> Well, I I I suppose I can, hire.
- 28:23>> Yes, of course.
- 28:26Right then.
- 28:2815 minutes.
- 28:30>> Why didn't you say no? You've got to
- 28:33learn to show more resistance to that
- 28:34woman, Liz. She jerks your string and
- 28:37off you go.
- 28:39>> I am not invited for coffee. She wants
- 28:41me to drive her into the country. She's
- 28:43looking at properties.
- 28:46>> She's still looking.
- 28:49Oh, thank heavens you didn't say no.
- 28:52>> I thought you wanted me to say no.
- 28:54>> Not when it's in such a good cause. Now,
- 28:56listen to me. Pay attention.
- 29:00This is your opportunity.
- 29:02>> For what?
- 29:02>> To make sure Herith buys a property.
- 29:05Don't let her come back here without a
- 29:07property.
- 29:09>> She's not looking for something to move
- 29:10into permanently.
- 29:12>> I know that, Liz, but I'd settle for her
- 29:14being away just a couple of days a week.
- 29:18Find her a property.
- 29:28Now, Richard,
- 29:30I am entrusting you with a very special
- 29:33mission. I want you to collect daddy
- 29:36with the utmost secrecy. Nobody must
- 29:39ever know that daddy was in prison.
- 29:41>> He's not in prison. He's at a police
- 29:43station.
- 29:43>> Now, I want you to wear these. A pair
- 29:45for daddy.
- 29:48and a pair for you.
- 29:53>> Why?
- 29:55>> Because no one must recognize you as you
- 29:57leave the police station.
- 29:59>> This is a very special mission, Richard.
- 30:06>> Going riding, Haren.
- 30:09[Laughter]
- 30:12>> Yes. Lovely morning for it, isn't it?
- 30:16Tell you what,
- 30:19why don't we all go together?
- 30:24[Applause]
- 30:41>> EMTT, you are wicked.
- 30:44Yes, I know. Isn't it delicious?
- 30:47>> Why not just tell them that we can't
- 30:49ride?
- 30:51>> I don't know that I can't ride. I've
- 30:53never tried.
- 30:56There's every possibility that I might
- 30:58ride beautifully.
- 31:00The clothes fit.
- 31:10>> Off you go, Emma. We'll catch you up
- 31:12later. No, no, no. I'll wait. We'll go
- 31:15together, Haren. That's what friends are
- 31:17for,
- 31:20>> right? Then I'll go around the corner
- 31:21and mount.
- 31:22>> Why round the corner?
- 31:24>> I always think modesty requires a lady
- 31:26to mount alone,
- 31:29>> except in the presence of her husband.
- 31:35[Laughter]
- 31:39>> EMTT, stop it. Now listen horse. I'm not
- 31:43a person to be trifled with. Richard,
- 31:47COME AND HELP ME OUT, DEAR.
- 31:50Now I need your support, dear. Ali. AL.
- 31:58[Applause]
- 32:07[Applause]
- 32:17Just take breathing.
- 32:26How much longer are they going to be?
- 32:29[Applause]
- 32:34>> So far so good.
- 32:37How does one start it?
- 32:40I think they click your tongue or
- 32:42something.
- 32:45[Laughter]
- 32:48>> Oh, this is ridiculous.
