00:00To be continued...
00:30.
00:52Hello there Dave.
00:54Been looking for you mate.
00:56Oh don't say you can't come tonight.
00:57Yeah, sure I can come, but can you give me some idea of what to get young Mike for his birthday?
01:02I mean, what hasn't he got?
01:04I'm damned if I know. I'll ask Gillie tonight. She's more ginned up on these things tonight.
01:09Yes, I will.
01:19Do you think there could be another scrub out tomorrow, Robbie?
01:23I'm keen to get your last trip in, eh?
01:27Oh yes, wouldn't you be?
01:39The old man tried to get group to let me finish with 31, you know, but they wouldn't wear it.
01:44I've still got seven to go. If they won't wear one, they certainly won't wear seven.
01:49You know, the nearer it gets, the more jumpy I get.
01:53It's not like me. It must be all this family living.
01:56I should have left him at home at Hereford and lived on the place with you lot.
01:59No rubbish.
02:01I tell you, mate, if I'd got mine down here in the beginning, things wouldn't have ended up as they have.
02:06Dave!
02:08Yeah? Have you seen flight?
02:11He's up on air test.
02:13Are you coming to Murray's engagement party tonight?
02:16Quite not bloody likely, mate.
02:19No, I'm going to Robbie's for a meal.
02:22Oh, when are you moving in then?
02:25Moving in where?
02:27Your skipper Jack Ridley practically lived around at Robbie's at one time.
02:30Didn't you know?
02:32I knew they were friends, yes.
02:34Have you seen Robbie talk to him lately?
02:36Well, so what?
02:39Don't know, old boy.
02:40No wiser than you.
02:41Rapid end of a beautiful friendship.
02:43Oh, well, enjoy yourself and don't do anything I wouldn't do.
02:46You did say you hadn't seen the F.C.
02:48I said he was on air test.
02:51So you did.
02:52Oh, well, cheers.
03:06I wish you'd let me take you both out to a restaurant or something one night.
03:11I can't even give you coupons.
03:12We couldn't leave the children.
03:14Couldn't get somebody to look after them for a couple of hours?
03:17They'd have to have references from the Archbishop of Canterbury, at least.
03:20Derek doesn't trust anybody that much.
03:22Anyway, we're glad of your company.
03:24It saves us from getting on each other's nerves.
03:26What, you and Derek? I don't believe that.
03:28You've obviously got a very idealised view of marriage, then.
03:31Well, my divorce is just going through.
03:34I'm sorry, Derek didn't tell me.
03:37No, I haven't told anybody yet.
03:39I'm just getting used to the idea.
03:41You mean being sort of single again?
03:43Yes, sort of single.
03:45You said your children are in Wales. Is their mother with them?
03:49No, she's working in Liverpool.
03:51They were evacuated there in 1939,
03:53and what with one thing and another, they've been there ever since.
03:56But she's a very nice woman that they're staying with.
03:59Children are very self-sufficient, you know.
04:02Are they? I wouldn't know.
04:05I think they can pretend to be,
04:07but I had it on a plate when I was a kid.
04:10Yes, I suppose I did, rather.
04:12You find out too late, though, don't you?
04:15That it's not all beer and Skittles.
04:17Jilly, where's Susie's bit of stuff?
04:20It's under her pillow.
04:21Ah, Roger.
04:23You men are a lot softer with kids than women are.
04:27Well, a lot of you.
04:29I suppose you wouldn't agree.
04:31Well, if I'd thought about as much as my children as I'm always saying I do,
04:35I think I'd have worked a bit harder on the marriage, don't you?
04:37Oh, it doesn't always follow. There are circumstances.
04:41And we're not living in normal times, are we?
04:43Oh, that's what I used to say.
04:45It sounds more like an excuse every day.
04:48Well, the life you and Derek are living, your wife.
04:51And I'm living.
04:52You'd say that was normal.
04:54Well, it's the only life I know, Jilly, and what's normal anyway?
04:59Didn't Jack Ridley used to come here?
05:02Jack? Yes. Why do you ask?
05:04He's my skipper.
05:06He's got to fly me on my last stop.
05:08But he keeps getting scrubbed. Maybe tomorrow. I don't know.
05:12Well, it's not like waiting for Santa Claus, is it?
05:15No, I know it isn't.
05:19Hey.
05:20They want to say goodnight to their Uncle David.
05:23Oh.
05:24Do you mind?
05:25No.
05:26That's what he comes here for, substitute family.
05:28Derek.
05:29Oh, Dave, I'm sorry.
05:30Oh, forget it. You're partly right anyway.
05:32I'll have some coffee ready when you get down.
05:34Oh, she's all right, Jilly.
05:38Yeah, she is.
05:39I don't know how it happened to a dog like me, though.
05:41Yeah, that's what I keep asking myself.
05:43Now, envy is one of the seven deadly sins.
05:45Oh, dear, I'm sorry. I've done it again.
05:48It's like you say, you know, Rob.
05:51Too much home life in this job and woof.
05:53Yeah, it doesn't do, does it?
05:55When you can see every day what it is, you've got to lose.
05:58I'll go and say goodnight to them.
06:00Hey, what was that word you used for someone like me?
06:04Masochist?
06:05Oh, masochist.
06:06Well, that's me, mate.
06:08Look, what you stand to lose, I've already lost.
06:12And I didn't need any help from the Jerrys.
06:24Quiet.
06:25Where am I?
06:26What happens ain't me for them?
06:28I was thinking about the Ogdens.
06:31Who the hell are the Ogdens?
06:33The people we rent this house from.
06:34Oh, then.
06:35I wonder if they ever think of us
06:37and resent us
06:39living in their house, using their furniture
06:41while they're still parted by the war.
06:43I think they're glad to have it used.
06:45She said he was in Burma that time she came about the roof.
06:48I could see her looking at things.
06:50Not to see if we'd done any damage.
06:52More to remind herself, I think.
06:54Something to cling on to.
06:56Shall I put the kettle on?
06:58I've done it.
06:59He probably has daydreams about this place, you know.
07:01Out there in Burma.
07:03Imagining he's standing at the kitchen sink
07:05helping to dry the dishes.
07:07Kids upstairs, everything normal.
07:09It's probably all he wants from life.
07:11Well, let's hope he gets back to it then.
07:13It must be nice to want just that.
07:16It won't last forever, you know.
07:21Old Dave likes coming here, doesn't he?
07:24He thinks we're an ideal couple.
07:27Bity about his marriage.
07:29He's getting divorced, you know.
07:31Yes, yes, you tell me.
07:33He's a bit of a wolf, isn't he?
07:35Why do you say that?
07:36Well, isn't he?
07:37Well, aren't we all?
07:38Well, you...
07:41Well, yes, he does get around a bit.
07:43Hence the divorce.
07:44Yes, probably.
07:45We don't know that, do we?
07:48Well, I ran into Jack Ridley today.
07:50No.
07:51I asked him why he deserted us.
07:53What did he say?
07:54Well, he muttered something about preparing for the post-war world.
07:57He keeps going off to town by himself.
07:59I think he's got a flu's in myself.
08:03They want the old man again.
08:05They're playing up.
08:06Tell them to get to sleep.
08:07No peace for the wicked.
08:13He ruins them.
08:20I'll take it.
08:21It's all right, I can manage.
08:22I know you can manage.
08:23I said allow me.
08:29I'll take it.
08:36I'll take it, Skipper.
08:44Do you think we'll be scrubbed again?
08:47How to tell.
08:49Well, it can't be weather this time.
08:50What do you reckon it is?
08:53Well, it's pure speculation, of course,
08:55but they probably heard it's your last art.
08:57What can we find to give Ashton a really rough ride?
09:00They'll be thinking.
09:01I wouldn't be surprised if they came up with something pretty grisly.
09:06Oh, come on.
09:07Just waiting around here.
09:15I was out at Robbie's last night, Jack.
09:17Oh, yes?
09:18Yeah.
09:19You used to go out there quite a bit yourself at one time, didn't you?
09:21Yes, I did.
09:22You've got two kids, haven't you?
09:27Yes.
09:28What, one of each?
09:30No, both boys, actually.
09:33My divorce is gone, so...
09:35It's funny, I wasn't telling anybody now, I'm telling everybody.
09:38Conscience, I suppose.
09:40I want somebody to tell me I'm not the bastard I really thought I was.
09:44And it happens to everybody.
09:45It happens to quite a few, the temptation, anyway.
09:49Yeah, well, I'm a sucker for temptation.
09:52Do you know, I've never said no to temptation in my life.
09:56See, I've treated a lot of people badly, not just my own wife.
10:00Dave, you don't absolve yourself by talking about it.
10:03Just make it feel a bit easier for the moment.
10:05It's a way of making excuses, really, if there aren't any. What's the point?
10:08Settle for being a bastard, dear.
10:12Well, I suppose I mean better luck next time.
10:19Oh, Jack, the winker was looking for you.
10:21Oh, that means it's on.
10:22Oh, no, it doesn't, old man. It's definitely scrubbed.
10:24Oh, wouldn't you know it.
10:26The weather's never been the same since we had WAF Met officers, eh?
10:29Yes, well, you're bound to have mixed feelings about it, but I'm glad it's scrubbed.
10:40Yes, well, I always have to put off till tomorrow.
10:45He's staying at the station. I don't know why.
10:50Well, I'll have to be back in time to meet the kids from school.
10:54Hang on a minute. Somebody's just opened the front door.
10:56Hello?
10:58It's only me.
10:59Mum!
11:01Yes, well, as we arrange, then.
11:03Yes, I will.
11:04Goodbye.
11:06Derek?
11:07No, no, a girlfriend.
11:09Where have you sprung from?
11:11Your father had to go to Resythe for a few days,
11:13so I travelled as far as Lincoln with him and then got a train across here.
11:18How are you, everybody?
11:20We're fine, but I'm just going to town.
11:23You'll be too tired to come with me.
11:24Well, yes, I am, rather.
11:26Well, sit down and make yourself comfortable and we'll natter when I get back.
11:31You could do something for me later on.
11:34If I'm not back in time, could you meet the kids outside school?
11:37Yes, of course I could.
11:38Thanks.
11:39You're looking quite a kid yourself.
11:42Am I?
11:43About 18.
11:46Life in the country suits you, doesn't it?
11:48You sure you want me to?
11:49Well, I wouldn't have asked if I didn't.
11:50It's just that I'll have to be back by nine o'clock, because, well...
11:51Because you're always back by nine.
11:52How did you know that?
11:53Oh, well, I'm just trained to be observant, you know.
11:54Are you sure you don't mind?
11:55Of course I don't mind.
11:56I haven't been off the station for weeks.
11:57Why?
11:58Oh, well, I don't know.
11:59Well, I don't know.
12:00Nothing much to go for, I suppose.
12:01I'll see you there then, seven o'clock.
12:02Right.
12:03Thanks.
12:04Oh, thank you.
12:05Bye, Dave.
12:06Hello, Chris.
12:07Oh, I'm not sure you're back by nine.
12:08Oh, I'm not sure you're back by nine.
12:09Oh, well, I'm just trained to be observant, you know.
12:10Are you sure you don't mind?
12:11Of course I don't mind.
12:12I haven't been off the station for weeks.
12:13Why?
12:14Well, I don't know.
12:15Nothing much to go for, I suppose.
12:26I'll see you there then, seven o'clock.
12:27Right.
12:28Thanks.
12:29Oh, thank you.
12:30Bye, Dave.
12:31Hello, Chris.
12:32I'll see you later.
12:34Yes, see you.
12:39Peter?
12:40Hmm?
12:41What are you looking so chuffed about?
12:43Oh, Chrissy's having a drink with me tonight.
12:45Congratulations.
12:49I just like her for a company, you know, Dave.
12:51We're totally different types, of course.
12:53You don't mind?
12:54Me?
12:55Well, you know Frankie and so on.
12:57Well, if she can stand you, mate, I don't see why I should object.
13:01Look, I'm going into town, by the way.
13:03Oh, you don't want me to come with you?
13:05No, not particularly.
13:06Oh, good.
13:07Well, I think I'll just, um, I'll just hang on here until seven then.
13:14Dave, I wouldn't want you to think.
13:16I mean, I do just enjoy her company very much, you know.
13:18I do just enjoy her company very much, you know.
13:46I don't want you to buy me late, man.
13:47Ha!
13:48Ha!
13:49Ha!
13:50Ha!
13:51Ha!
13:52Ha!
13:53Ha!
13:54Ha!
13:55Ha!
14:00Ha!
14:01Ha!
14:04Ha!
14:05Ha!
14:06Ha!
14:07Ha!
14:08Ha!
14:09Ha!
14:12Ha!
14:13Ah!
15:53But I don't want to go to bed yet, Mummy.
15:56Michael, take her upstairs. Mummy's tired.
15:59And Michael, make sure she cleans her teeth.
16:01I sent them out to the bathroom.
16:09I'll have a job getting them off with you here tonight.
16:11It always unsettled me.
16:12More likely because it's Michael's birthday tomorrow.
16:14It's not. What now?
16:17I'd forgotten.
16:19Forgotten?
16:21Oh, it's all right. I've got everything.
16:22It's just that I'd forgotten his birthday.
16:26Look, I'll finish these.
16:28You go and sit down somewhere.
16:29You're getting that hunted look.
16:32Am I?
16:33You were sparkling when I came this morning.
16:36Chopping. Where are you down?
16:37Oh, it's the damn buses. They're always so crowded these days.
16:42Derek's still flying regularly.
16:44Yes, he's got seven more ops to do before the end of his tour.
16:48The back's still troubling you.
16:49None then.
16:51A lot of them seem to get it.
16:53Something to do with flying, I suppose.
16:57He doesn't sleep very well.
17:00When he comes back from a raid, he sometimes doesn't sleep at all.
17:04Lies on his back, looking at the ceiling.
17:06Does he ever talk about what he wants to do after?
17:14After?
17:15I don't think there's going to be any after for people like Derek, Mum.
17:19It's going to be with them always, I think.
17:21Well, wouldn't it help him, perhaps, to talk about the future?
17:24Oh, he's talked about going back to teaching a couple of times.
17:28Oh, it seems like another age.
17:30The time when he used to come home with his little brown case
17:33and that old raincoat that always looked as if it needed cleaning.
17:36You know what I regret most?
17:43That holiday we nearly had in 1939 and the carpet we bought instead.
17:49We needed that holiday.
17:52All the stresses of having the kids.
17:55Things are all right, aren't they?
17:57Things aren't normal, are they, Mum?
18:00Well, that sounds like Derek Nash.
18:04Oh, what shall I do with this, Rob?
18:06Oh, put it in here for now.
18:08Thanks.
18:14Oh.
18:16Oh, David's bought Michael a present.
18:20Mother's here.
18:21Is she?
18:21Where?
18:22In the kitchen.
18:22Oh.
18:23Why have you come?
18:33To talk to you.
18:36And I suppose if I don't want to talk, you'll talk to Derek?
18:39No, but only because I don't have the guts.
18:43I mean, I don't have the guts to stand here and see what'll do to him, Jill.
18:46Well, then you know how I feel.
18:50You're going to leave him.
18:53How simple you make it sound.
18:55Then you're going to forget about Jack Ridley.
18:57I don't know.
19:00But nothing you can say is going to change anything.
19:02Whatever happens eventually will happen because of me.
19:05I couldn't believe it.
19:08I still don't.
19:10But I should have thought that you might have understood how it can happen.
19:15Yes, but not with you and Derek.
19:17Not at a time like this.
19:20And you've learnt something.
19:21Like what?
19:23That a time like this can do things to people.
19:26And people aren't always as you think they are.
19:30Kids in bed.
19:31Getting washed.
19:32Oh, I'll just nip up then.
19:33Aren't you going to offer our guests a drink?
19:35Oh, Dave, I'm sorry.
19:37Well, offer him what?
19:38We haven't got anything.
19:39Well, you can pop down to the Turk's head then, can't you?
19:41George offered me a bottle of scotch the other day, but I was too broke.
19:44He never offers me a bottle of scotch.
19:45Tell him it's for me then.
19:47Oh, and take Dave with you.
19:50He doesn't want to stay and gossip with two women, do you, Dave?
20:01Oh, hello there.
20:06Yes, I think somebody's coming to join us.
20:08He's drunk.
20:09They must be trying to break the record.
20:10They haven't been open all that long.
20:12Oh, hello, Jack.
20:13Didn't notice you were in.
20:18What do you see in him?
20:20She doesn't see anything in me.
20:22Yes, I do.
20:22Quite a lot, in fact.
20:25Why don't you join us?
20:29Now, you know you don't mean that.
20:30You can't say he isn't polite then, can you?
20:34Oh, I could, but I wouldn't.
20:43What's he going to be like in the morning?
20:46God, I'd forgotten.
20:47He probably hasn't heard.
20:48Heard what?
20:49Oh, we're on call for tomorrow.
20:51I'd better go in there after him.
20:53That would sober him up.
20:57I bought this to make Michael some trousers.
20:59He's getting through them at the rate of a pair of months.
21:02I thought I told you not to come down.
21:05Can I have a drink?
21:06Well, go back to bed and I'll bring you one.
21:08Good night, Gwen.
21:09Good night, love.
21:12Oh, God, I'm doing it again.
21:14Taking it out on the kids.
21:16Oh, God.
21:18Jill, what is it?
21:21We should never have come here.
21:23We should have stayed where we were
21:24and seen him on leave like everybody else does.
21:25It was your idea, wasn't it?
21:27Yes, and what a damn stupid one it was, too.
21:31You lie in bed here and you can hear them going.
21:35Sometimes you're still awake when you get back.
21:39And you listen
21:39and you wonder whose turn it was tonight.
21:44Because there's always someone.
21:47People you know often.
21:49Boys who sat in this room.
21:50Have you talked to Derek about it?
21:54It's too late now.
21:57Too late.
22:03Tastes like water, doesn't it?
22:05It practically is water.
22:09Thanks for taking all that trouble
22:10over Michael's birthday present.
22:13You went to town for it, didn't you?
22:15Yes, yes, I did.
22:16Julie went to town today.
22:17You didn't bump into her at all.
22:18Yes, sir.
22:21Just to say hello, you know.
22:23Yay!
22:23Yay!
22:26You've given me one of these
22:31sprog navigators to take the place of old Fanny.
22:34Winko swears he's God's gift to the raft,
22:36but then he always does, doesn't he?
22:38I hate going up with these new fellas,
22:40no matter how bloody marvellous they are.
22:42It's a sort of jinx with me.
22:43I don't know why.
22:44No precedence, thank God.
22:46But then there's always a first time, isn't there?
22:48Yeah, yeah.
22:54Well, most of the new blokes seem pretty good, Robbie.
22:59We're getting a different class of airmen these days out here.
23:02They're getting more fussy than when we slip through the never.
23:04Yeah, something like that.
23:06There you are.
23:07Oh, Dave, Robbie, there's a mate of yours in the bog
23:09and he's practically flaked out.
23:11Who?
23:11Jack Ridley, and we're on call for tomorrow morning.
23:14I ran him to the Winko on the way out.
23:17They've just got the news through.
23:17I'll go and see.
23:21Bloody fool, he knew it was any time now.
23:23He's acting as if he's got the death wish or something.
23:27Look, take it out of there, will you?
23:30And what is in there, as if I didn't know?
23:33Pig's trotters to you, brother.
23:35Yeah, it's okay.
23:36It's okay.
23:36It's okay.
23:36It's okay.
23:43Being sick?
23:46No.
23:46Well, the sooner the better then, eh, mate?
23:49What's it to you?
23:50Look, it's my last stop tomorrow and you're the driver
23:53and I want to live forever, mate.
23:57I wanted to talk to you today.
24:00You avoided it.
24:01But what did you expect, Jack?
24:03A big wet kiss on both cheeks.
24:07You're awfully bloody virtuous all of a sudden.
24:12What do you know?
24:17It's not like that.
24:21Half hour here, five minutes there.
24:24Look at each other.
24:26Few...
24:27What do you know?
24:31How is he?
24:41Stinking.
24:43Well, you'd better get him home, get some coffee and do it.
24:45Home where?
24:46Home, in my place.
24:47Oh, you can't do that, Derek.
24:48Well, why not?
24:50Well, I mean, what will Jill say?
24:51You've got to be joking.
24:52Look at him.
24:53He's flying your crate tomorrow.
24:55Are you two talking about me?
25:01I can't think where they've got to.
25:09I thought I'd have an early night, if you don't mind.
25:12This early?
25:13Yes, I read a lot in bed lately.
25:14I'm deep in no orchids for Miss Blandish at the moment.
25:18Well, I may let you read it before I go back,
25:21if I don't think it's too salacious.
25:22Is Dad away much?
25:25Oh, yes.
25:26He's always popping off on something highly secret.
25:29Niesty says it's highly secret.
25:31Don't men love to feel important, especially in wartime?
25:36Do you want a bottle?
25:37Oh, heavens no.
25:39Good night, love.
25:41Good night, Mum.
25:42Mmm.
25:43Do you think Eric will manage to serve her old Wrigley?
26:11Oh, I hope so.
26:17You know, by the time you get back to the village
26:19and get the bus back to the station,
26:23I reckon we'll be past your deadline.
26:25Oh, well, it's a special occasion.
26:27Is it?
26:28It's the first time I've been out with anyone since Frankie was killed.
26:36I expect you'll want to be getting back.
26:39Sorry.
26:41If I were to ask you that perhaps tomorrow...
26:47Well, it doesn't have to be tomorrow.
26:49I mean, it could be the day after tomorrow.
26:51I mean, um...
26:52Would you...
26:55Yes, of course.
26:58Why do you ask me as if you're expecting me to say no?
27:00A bit of a pessimist, I suppose.
27:14Oh, it's a wonderful thing, nature.
27:18What you can't take, she takes back.
27:20Oh, it's a good day.
27:21Oh, it's a good day.
27:23Where's Dave?
27:24Well, he's gone on the motorbike to Bourne-Jill.
27:28Warn, huh?
27:29We're coming back.
27:31Coffee.
27:34Oh.
27:36So that's what all that whispering was about.
27:38You are a silly old fool, aren't you?
27:46Oh, you broke the mold when they made me.
27:51Oh, thank God.
27:57Why don't you come and see us anymore?
27:58Oh, conscience, I suppose.
28:06Conscience?
28:10Well, skiving other people's rations isn't really my thing, believe it or not.
28:15We're doing all right.
28:16The farmer down the road, he helps out.
28:19We miss you.
28:22Do you?
28:26Oh, you're a lovely chap, Robbie.
28:28Did anyone ever tell you how lovely you are?
28:36I wouldn't hurt you, Robbie.
28:41Not if they told me you were Hitler in disguise.
28:51Hurt me.
28:58He should have been here an hour ago.
29:07Maybe Derek took him back to camp.
29:09Was he awfully drunk?
29:15Jack, I mean.
29:16He was talkative, yes.
29:18Very in fact.
29:20Thanks for reassuring me.
29:21Well, you asked me how he was.
29:24What do you want me to do, tell you lies?
29:25You used that word on purpose, didn't you?
29:28Talkative.
29:29Talking to Derek about me, that's what you wanted me to think, isn't it?
29:32You must think what you like, Jill.
29:33You asked me how he was, and I told you.
29:36What have I done to you, Dave?
29:38Nothing.
29:40You've done nothing to me.
29:41It's just that I like Derek, that's all.
29:43And what do you know about how I feel for Derek?
29:46I take it on face value.
29:47How else?
29:48As I take my estimate of how you feel about your ex-wife.
29:53On face value, I read it as very little.
29:56Would I be right?
29:58No, you wouldn't.
29:59Well, then.
30:01I haven't been to bed with Jack, you know, to put it bluntly.
30:08Not that I'm claiming any special virtue in that.
30:11The opportunity hasn't really presented itself.
30:15I could have made an opportunity, I suppose,
30:18but somehow I just haven't.
30:22Maybe it'd been better if I had.
30:25It might have brought it down to some kind of reality.
30:28Sordid reality, if you like.
30:31I don't think so.
30:35It's all in the spirit, Dave.
30:41Not that I expect you to understand or care very much whether you do.
30:45But because there hasn't been any consummation, as they say,
30:50it's all been a bit like that lovely dream thing
30:53that happens when you're very young and hardly ever again.
30:57I don't expect you to understand that either.
31:05But in the middle of all this awfulness,
31:07it's been like a little speck of gold.
31:10And I've clung to it, Dave.
31:13And hated myself for it at the same time.
31:15Jilly, I do understand.
31:21It's just that I've made the same mistakes.
31:27Hello, Robbie.
31:28Where's Jack?
31:30He came to the end of the road, but he wouldn't come in.
31:33I put him on a bus for the station.
31:35How was he?
31:35Well, on the way to being safer by the morning.
31:38You've got nothing to worry about, Dave.
31:40Well, it's all in the lap of the gods, mate.
31:43Yes, well, I'll be off if I'm on call tomorrow.
31:46Yes, I think that would be a good idea.
31:47I'll see you in the morning.
31:54Right, straight.
31:55Good night, Jill.
31:57Good night, Dave.
32:02One bottle of scotch from your friend at the Turk's Head.
32:06Do you want me to pour you, sir?
32:07No, thanks.
32:07Not tonight.
32:10Jill,
32:10he wasn't trying anything on, was he?
32:13Who?
32:14Dave.
32:15I mean, I like him very much, in fact,
32:17but he has got a bit of a reputation.
32:20With other men's wives?
32:22I wouldn't put it past him.
32:24They're not with you, I would have thought.
32:25Oh, and why not with me?
32:27Well, coming to the house all the time the way he does,
32:29he'd have to be a bit of a bastard, wouldn't he?
32:41Wake me in the morning before you go, won't you?
32:44Yes, if you want me to.
32:50Is it something big?
32:51Could be, I don't know.
32:53Look, Jill,
32:54if he were to try anything...
32:56Oh, Derek.
32:57Well, you would tell me, wouldn't you?
32:58I'd tell you.
33:00I'd come and get some sleep.
33:03Yes, I suppose it's a good idea.
33:07Michael's birthday in the morning.
33:08ится time,
33:23seeing you in trouble.
33:25Oh, my gosh.
33:28Oh, my gosh.
33:29Oh, my gosh.
33:30Thanks,илла.
33:31you all right Jack? yes I'm fine. look Skip this is my last stop of the tour. Dave I'm fine.
33:54you know me I wouldn't say I was if I wasn't. you're up bright and early? yeah when I was a kid on the last day of the holidays I always used to get up early. I go down to the beach, check a few pebbles at the sea and think when I'm dead that lot will still be rolling in. I didn't know you were given to that kind of philosophizing Dave. yeah well aren't we all? yes I suppose so.
34:24well the weather looks about right. yes. hey come on let's go and have some breakfast. that sounds like a good idea.
34:34why didn't you wake me? you were smiling in your sleep. I didn't want to spoil a happy dream. oh idiot. what's that? bacon. I burned it.
34:57I've left my card to Michael on the sideboard. I thought you were going to write on mine.
35:03it was only a joke really something I drew myself. tell him wish him a happy birthday from me and tell him with a bit of luck I'll be back in time for the party.
35:10you can go and wake him if you like it's time. no I don't think I'd better. might better be off.
35:15give him a happy birthday.
35:17give him a laughter mum. yeah.
35:19Dave.
35:21good luck.
35:23well that's about it.
35:39there'll be Lancaster's having a go at Ham. Halifax's at Munster and Hanover.
35:49as usual ours is a decoy action jamming jerry's radar and dropping window. so he won't be certain which are the targets.
35:57you'll be flying at one mile apart and when dropping commences hold course for three minutes.
36:03should there be any flack about don't take any evasive action until the drop is completed.
36:09that's all gentlemen.
36:13good luck.
36:23what do you make of that?
36:25what a piece of cake.
36:27Pfizer cover practically all the way.
36:28yeah thanks to the army.
36:29what?
36:30well there the chaps are pushing the gerry back where he belongs.
36:33there shouldn't be much flack where we're going.
36:35well I wouldn't count on that old boy.
36:37and they feed the gerry fighter pilots in that sector on spinach.
36:40up at Ertzals of course.
36:42are you all right old chap?
36:45yes fine.
36:47sorry about last night.
36:50thanks.
36:52I wish you'd come in.
36:54jill was disappointed.
36:55we miss you you know.
36:56yes well I'm up to my neck in all this swatting.
36:59are you really going back to that?
37:01to accountants?
37:02probably.
37:04it is an odd thought isn't it?
37:06wonder how we'll all cope?
37:08with what in particular?
37:10the difference I suppose.
37:12it all seems a long way off.
37:14the job, home, family.
37:17things that were.
37:19things that were?
37:21they will be again.
37:22will they?
37:23i wonder.
37:25now here come the jeeps.
37:27better get mobile.
37:42good luck Derek.
37:44don't forget that job.
37:45all right.
37:51clue what we're going to have for lunch mum.
37:53i was promised a rabbit but it hasn't materialized.
37:58and we're in the red on the meat ration.
38:02expecting somebody?
38:04no.
38:05keep listening for the doorbell.
38:07oh I was listening for takeoff actually.
38:10Derek?
38:11yes I think they're going on at daylight.
38:14they come right over the house you can count them.
38:17kids love it when they're at home.
38:19they don't realize do they?
38:21I mean that...
38:22Derek might not come back sometime.
38:25yes I think they do.
38:27they never said so but I think they do.
38:34are they worse these daylight raids than at night?
38:36oh I don't think the boys mind either way these days.
38:39they get a lot of fighter cover since we've advanced into France.
38:42forward airfields and so on.
38:44so if anything does go wrong they're over friendly territory most of the way.
38:48Derek bought his plane down in France just before Christmas.
38:51that's when he got the DFC.
38:53it's odd isn't it?
38:56I've never got used to Derek doing anything so...
38:59dangerous, so violent.
39:01wasn't from choice was it?
39:03I suppose we have to do this to the Germans.
39:07if we're to win who started it?
39:09we didn't.
39:10I can't feel bitter about it in that way.
39:12I think of them as people like us have just taken a wrong turning.
39:17for the second time.
39:18yes.
39:19yes there is that of course.
39:21now they're getting a taste of their own medicine.
39:23I don't suppose they like it but I'm afraid I'm not shedding any tears.
39:26children like Susie and Michael.
39:29you're getting very hard Jill.
39:31that's what I do.
39:32that's what I do.
39:33that's what I do.
39:34that's what I do.
39:35that's what I do.
39:36that's what I do.
39:37that's what I do.
39:38that's what I do.
39:39that's what I do.

39:41that's what I do.
39:42that's what I do.
39:43that's what I do.
39:44that's what I do.
39:45that's what I do.
39:46that's what I do.
39:47that's what I do.
39:48that's what I do.
39:49that's what I do.
39:50that's what I do.
39:51that's what I do.
39:52that's what I do.
39:53that's what I do.
39:54that's what I do.
39:55that's what I do.
39:56that's what I do.
39:57that's what I do.
39:58Go, go, go!
40:14Look at that!
40:15Go!
40:16Go!
40:17Go, go, go!
40:31Dave?
40:32Yes, Captain.
40:34Just for your information,
40:37I'm not going to break up anybody's marriage,
40:40except possibly my own.
40:42The other chaps, the one my wife's taken fancy to.
40:46I didn't know. I'm sorry, Scuffer.
40:49It seems we've got more in common than I thought.
40:53We ought to start a club, mate.
40:59Got your lucky mascot?
41:01No, I don't need it.
41:16I'll be going to town again tomorrow, by the way.
41:19Oh.
41:20I might come with you.
41:22I was hoping you'd look after the kids.
41:24It's Saturday.
41:25What's this new interest in town?
41:27I thought you couldn't stand the place.
41:28Found an illicit source, have you?
41:29A source of what?
41:30Oh, butter, eggs, bacon, sugar.
41:34Happiness?
41:35Oh, butter, eggs, bacon, sugar.
41:37Happiness?
41:39Oh, butter, eggs, bacon, sugar.
41:42Oh, butter.
41:43Oh, butter, butter.
41:44Oh, butter.
41:45Oh.
41:46Oh, butter, eggs, bacon, sugar.
41:49Oh, my goodness.
41:50You're a good friend.
41:51What is this new interest in town?
41:52I thought you couldn't stand the place?
41:54Found an illicit source, have you?
41:56A source of what?
41:57Oh, butter, eggs, bacon, sugar.
41:59Happiness?
42:01So, let's go.
42:31All fit. David. Okay, Skipper. Willie. Okay, Skipper. Johnny. All aboard, Skipper. Both Williams. No back, Skipper. Okay, Skipper. Dick. Pardon, Skipper. Sandy. Right. And here we go.
42:51I can't hurt Derek. I can't hurt the children. Seems I am the sort of person I thought I was after all.
43:03With a small but significant difference.
43:09I've begun to regret what I am.
43:13It leaves me stuck up to my neck in mud looking up the stars or somewhere.
43:17Yeah.
43:19Yeah.
43:21Well done.
43:24Well done.
43:28So, let's go.
46:06Skipper, we're about there now.
46:11Thanks, Dave.
46:13Okay, that is all yours.
46:20We've completed the blocks.
46:21Give us two 08.
46:23That'll take us too.
46:31Black flag.
46:32Forget the flag.
46:34Keep your eyes skinned for fighters.
46:35Everyone all right?
46:51Don't cry.
46:52Fuck it, Skipper.
46:52I'm on my way up, Skipper.
46:54I'm on my way up, Skipper.
