00:30MUSIC PLAYS
00:40Get it off. Get what off?
00:42Well, I got... Ah! Too much.
00:45Can I get the pin in? I don't want to get all over the tablecloth.
00:49Right, last strut in the masterpiece.
00:53What masterpiece?
00:55That's what I...
00:57Oh, answer that for me, could you please?
01:00What? What's a moment to pick?
01:03I don't know.
01:05Well, what about the...
01:07That's not coming at all, you know.
01:09Hello? Yes, yes, it is.
01:12Oh, I'm afraid Mr Ashton's still out at work. I'm sorry. Who is that, please?
01:16What?
01:17I'm sorry. Oh, this is an awful line. I can't hit what hospital?
01:21I...
01:22It's a terrible line.
01:24You need to draw it.
01:26Yes, well, I'm going, aren't I?
01:27Next of kin.
01:28I...
01:29Shh, darling.
01:30It...
01:31It's David.
01:32Um...
01:33Yes, yes, I am.
01:37Oh, he...
01:38He's had a motorbike accident.
01:41Well, what's happened to him?
01:43Yes, yes, I know, but couldn't you just...
01:45You know, how is he?
01:47Oh, well, is he on the danger list?
01:50Oh, I see.
01:52I see.
01:53Oh, yes, yes.
01:54Well, um...
01:55Well, if it's near the base, we'll know how to...
01:56Where's the pencil?
01:57Oh, down, down.
01:58Give me the pencil.
01:59If it's near the base, we'll know how to get there.
02:01I promise.
02:02Yes.
02:03Right.
02:04Yes.
02:05Yes.
02:09Oh.
02:10He's alive.
02:11He's at a civilian hospital near the base.
02:13He's...
02:14He's got...
02:15Concussion or, you know, some sort of head injury, but...
02:18They said he wasn't on the danger list.
02:21Well, thank...
02:22Thank God.
02:23Look, quiet, please, Johnny.
02:24We've got...
02:25We've got...
02:26We've got a crisis.
02:30She was hedging, though, you know, as if she didn't really know.
02:33Well, she talked as if she was doing me a great big favour, telling me anything.
02:38Well, they always do that, don't they?
02:40She said she didn't know if he'd be all right for flying again.
02:43Oh, she's fine.
02:44As if I cared.
02:45As if I bloody well cared.
02:51All right, Doctor, what's the verdict, then?
02:54You'll be all right.
02:56What about flying?
02:58Just forget it.
03:00Take it easy for a while.
03:02Well, is it going to be a long job?
03:05No matter of weeks.
03:06I'll be fit then, will I?
03:08You'll be fit for transfer to an RAF hospital.
03:11You must know something, I mean, about flying.
03:14They'll go into all that at the RAF hospital.
03:19I...
03:20I don't get it.
03:21My legs and my arms are okay.
03:23He said there was nothing on the head x-ray, but I feel sick as a pig.
03:27He crashed a bike at 40 miles an hour and then he complains cos he feels a bit empty.
03:31You're a lucky boy, Mr Ashton.
03:34It's his...
03:35It's his headache, Doc, and everything's spinning around whenever I'm moved.
03:40Your children?
03:42Er...
03:43Yes.
03:44Ashton, we're near an airfield.
03:47You've had a lot of your chaps through here.
03:49Yes.
03:51I've seen them smashed by a cannon tail.
03:54Pulled out of wrecks looking more like cat's meat than human beings.
03:58Yes, well, so have I, Doctor, so have I.
04:01All right, Sister, go and answer it.
04:05Thank you, Doctor.
04:09Hey, you think I'm Charlie.
04:12Charlie? We have you here as Ashton.
04:15No, no, Doctor.
04:17Charlie, what common herbs like me call for yellow scared.
04:21Lack of moral fibre.
04:23I know what you've been through.
04:25Look, Doctor, I want to fly.
04:27I mean, what do you think I'm on about? I want to!
04:30If I can't get back to flying, I might as well be dead.
04:36Good for you, Ashton.
04:38Look, Doctor, you've had a specialist report.
04:40You must know something. Just tell me something.
04:43You relax, lad.
04:45Rest.
04:46That's the way to get better.
04:48If you want to get fit, old man, stop worrying.
04:52I'll see you in the morning.
04:54I'll see you in the morning.
04:55I'm sorry.
04:56I'm surprised the family is at all.
04:57Come in.
04:58I did have a job finally.
04:59I'll have some tea after that.
05:00What do you think of it?
05:01It's different, isn't it?
05:02Yes.
05:03What you're making?
05:04Oh, pinny for.
05:05Sacking soaked in bleach.
05:06Comes out quite a nice yellow.
05:07It's coming to something wearing sackcloth, isn't it?
05:08Take what you can get, don't you?
05:09You know, I reckon the tea we've drunk during this war would fill up the Mersey.
05:11Sheila?
05:12Yes?
05:13I thought you ought to know...
05:14I thought you ought to know...
05:15I'll have some tea after that.
05:16What do you think of it?
05:17It's different, isn't it?
05:18Yes.
05:21What are you making?
05:22Oh, pinny for.
05:23Sacking soaked in bleach.
05:25Comes out quite a nice yellow.
05:26It's coming to something wearing sackcloth, isn't it?
05:28Take what you can get, don't you?
05:32You know, I reckon the tea we've drunk during this war would fill up the Mersey.
05:38Sheila?
05:39Yes?
05:40I thought you ought to know...
05:41David's in hospital.
05:45Oh.
05:46Oh, it's all right.
05:47It's not too bad.
05:48He wasn't flying.
05:49Dad went round this morning and he rang up just now.
05:52It's not serious.
05:53Oh.
05:54Well, he's had a very bad crack on the head.
05:58Fell out of somebody's bed, did he?
06:01Well, he crashed his motorbike, as a matter of fact.
06:04There's some question about his flying again, but they said he'd be okay.
06:10Well, I am sorry.
06:11I'm glad it's no worse, but I don't really see what it's got to do with me.
06:17You have changed, haven't you?
06:19Yeah, I should hope so.
06:20I was muggings long enough, wasn't I?
06:22I wondered whether I should come on.
06:24Oh, it's all right.
06:25You're his sister.
06:26I understand.
06:27Oh, now, look, Sheila, I'm on your side.
06:29I've never had any illusions about daily.
06:30All the same bloody sticker than water.
06:32I'm still on your side.
06:34All right.
06:35What do you want me to do, then?
06:38Oh, I don't know.
06:39I just sort of came and...
06:42Well, Dad said he is feeling pretty rotten.
06:44Ah, Dad asked you to come here, did he?
06:47Yes.
06:50Look, I'm sorry, Margaret.
06:52Do try and understand.
06:53Oh, I do.
06:54Well, yes, you do.
06:55You say one thing, but you mean another, don't you?
06:57Well, it...
06:59It's just that...
07:01Well, he is rather ill and...
07:03You know, I thought it was just a question of seeing him through.
07:06You know it would be more than that.
07:08Well, no.
07:09Well, it's not going to be.
07:10I've had enough of it, Margaret.
07:11He's got a family.
07:12He hasn't got me any more.
07:14Well, look, he's only just agreed to the divorce
07:16and I thought, well, you are still married.
07:17No!
07:18You might just like...
07:19And it's got nothing to do with the divorce.
07:20As far as I'm concerned and as far as he's concerned,
07:22we're divorced already.
07:23David does have rotten luck.
07:27I do feel sorry for him.
07:29I always do somehow.
07:30Yes, life's full of banana skins for that chap.
07:33Either he's desperate for a fiver
07:35or else being driven up the wall over a girl.
07:37Or both.
07:38Maybe that's why one likes it.
07:40Oh!
07:41Got him, Himalind.
07:42Something wrong, Peter?
07:43I missed.
07:45He was sloshed the other night.
07:47So would I be with his troubles.
07:49He did think Derek had bought it.
07:51Oh, yes, poor Jill.
07:52Some idiot told her.
07:54And then we'd heard he'd pranged in Holland.
07:56He came back a bit wild-eyed too.
07:58Don't let up on the Jerry's, do they?
08:00They're not letting up on our chefs either.
08:02Derek's still on the duty list.
08:04They can't.
08:05Oh, yes, they can, my love.
08:06He's only got a DFC and two crash landings
08:09and half his crew killed yesterday.
08:11But he's still got six more ops.
08:13Oh, God, how bloody awful.
08:15Let's cheer him up.
08:20Peter, I don't think he's using swords.
08:23Anyway, what...
08:24Anyway, what...

15:29office you are you see it's because your job's so dull it is the contrast is it
15:34is that why I can't settle down to a job or can't I settle down because all jobs
15:38will seem the same after what I've lived through because it was living Margaret
15:41it was the the closer you get to death the more you I don't feel you're you're
15:48alive I suppose it's something I don't really know about except for that time

17:17they say it's all nonsense at the RAF hospital no Max it's a fracture I mean it's so small
17:24you can't even see it on an x-ray but it's done something to the base of the brain that upsets
17:29the inner ear she'll be all right on the ground but in the air I'm a dead duck
17:33David if you want the truth I can't feel sorry it's my whole life Max it's all I've
17:40got yes I'm thinking of how we felt at home for the past six years how we still

19:09pig scared but he's even more scared of losing those wings because to a flyer

22:50well it wasn't butting in or anything
22:52honestly David we wouldn't dream
22:54oh it's we now is it
22:56well no but she was ever so nervous
22:58and she asked me about it
22:59it was only saying Sheila could stay there if she did come
23:01and well I said send it
23:03I'm sorry David I thought you'd be glad
23:06oh I don't know Chris
23:08maybe it's best left alone
23:10well we wouldn't interfere really
23:12well we all love you
23:13and we thought the more visitors the merrier
23:16yeah sure but
23:18oh she won't come anyway
23:21John George is at the nursery
23:25he knows he wants to go to school already
23:27well it's about this Margaret
23:30do you know anybody named Robbins
23:34friend of David's
23:36oh Derek Robbins
23:38yes yes it's a pilot
23:40well this letter is from his wife Jill
23:43now she says
23:45dear Sheila I hope you don't mind my writing
23:47et cetera et cetera
23:48um David's an awfully good friend of ours
23:50and we were all so fond of him
23:51and he's uh
23:52looks as if his service career's finished
23:53then she says
23:55if you were thinking of coming over
23:56I thought it would help you to know
23:57that you needn't worry about digs
23:59you'd be welcome to stay with us
24:01and you've never met her
24:03no
24:03oh no I've never met any of David's friends
24:06he must have put her up to it then
24:08wasn't he
24:09well I went to see him yesterday
24:11and he agreed that he ought to leave you alone
24:15is that what you told him to do
24:18yes
24:19oh I don't know
24:23I must be getting twisted or something
24:25do you know what my first reaction when I got that was
24:27Margaret's mixed up in it
24:29they're getting at me again
24:31it just shows you the state of mind I'm in doesn't it
24:34how is he
24:37well he's uh
24:38he's pretty ill but
24:40I think he'll be alright once his head injuries heal
24:42yes but if his flying career's over
24:45I mean that was everything wasn't it
24:48yes that's what's pulling him down
24:50oh what did she want to go and interfere for
24:53I mean what does she think she is anyway
24:55some sort of peacemaker
24:57well she says she knows how things are between you and David
25:00I simply thought exes do remain friends
25:04especially in wartime
25:05and I sort of wrote on the impulse just in case
25:06what do you think I should do Margaret
25:10well it's what you think isn't it
25:13no but I can't go there and start the whole thing all over again
25:16I can't

34:07Hi.
34:14How goes it?
34:19Fine.
34:21I'm on general duties. Sweet FA to do, but one has to look busy.
34:25I've just been to the office.
34:27Yes, I know.
34:29I know you do.
34:37Well, must toddle.
34:40I'm glad everything's fine, Robbie.
34:45Peter.
34:47I wish you were flying.
34:49I could see you go down burning and laugh.
35:07Hello, David.
35:11Not disturbing you, am I?
35:13No, no.
35:15I heard all about you from Margaret.
35:17Are you feeling better?
35:19Yeah.
35:20Good.
35:21Sit down.
35:22Sorry I haven't brought you anything.
35:24Well, they're only for those.
35:26Oh, thanks.
35:28I'll have some fun with this.
35:31Oh, that's my knitting pattern.
35:33Just grabbed everything up and ran.
35:36You know me.
35:37Everything at the last minute.
35:38Yes.
35:43There goes our fellas.
35:52Any news from the children?
35:53Yes, yes.
35:54I had a letter from Janet, ooh, a few days ago.
35:57I had one from Peter about, ooh, six weeks ago.
36:01Look, Sheila, you know I'll help out with them.
36:04Yes.
36:05I'm afraid I'm counting on it, David, for the time being, anyway.
36:08What, until you find them another father?
36:11No, I mean until I've got enough money coming in.
36:13Look, I'll always take full responsibility.
36:16Yes.
36:17Yes.
36:20God, it'll be terrifying for them having to come back to Liverpool.
36:23Oh, I know. It worries me.
36:25Then perhaps we should start to put them first.
36:28What do you mean?
36:29OK, we've made a mess of things.
36:31But do we have to go on messing up their lives?
36:33No.
36:34I mean, if only we could provide a home for them.
36:36David, I mean no, we're not even going to talk about it.
36:39Sheila, I'm talking about our children.
36:42Look, I came to see you because Margaret told me that you had accepted the situation.
36:46You know I have. You've got your grounds for divorce.
36:49Then for God's sake, don't let's go on and drag it all up again.
36:52Look, Sheila, we're going to have to talk about the children in the future, even if we are divorced.
36:56Yes.
36:57Then listen to me now.
36:58Come on. Let's talk about something else.
37:00What?
37:01Have you seen any good pictures lately?
37:03I won't go back on my word.
37:05I couldn't, not after what I did to you last time.
37:09We can't start it all over again.
37:11Are you afraid to listen?
37:12I know that it's pointless.
37:14Look, I've tried before to talk to you, but you just won't give me a hearing.
37:18Oh, David, I have. 50 times. It must be 50 times we've tried again and it doesn't work.
37:23You know I love you.
37:24Oh, sure, you love different girls in different ways, I remember.
37:27Look, I'm sorry, you're ill. Come on, please don't let's have a round.
37:31Look, I'm well enough to talk.
37:34All right, then.
37:36Let's be honest, shall we? Let's face facts.
37:39If all our rows hadn't happened, what have you and I actually got in common, David?
37:43Hmm?
37:44The whole marriage was a mistake.
37:46You can't just throw away 13 years.
37:48It's better than throwing away your whole life.
37:53Look, all I've done now is to upset you.
37:56Look on.
37:57Just stay, will you?
37:59No, it'll only make things worse.
38:00Just stay a little while.
38:01David, please don't use your weakness against me.
38:04I've got feelings too, you know.
38:06You know, let's talk.
38:07Come back after and talk.
38:09No, I'm not coming back.
38:10I'd have more harm than good.
38:16Take care.
38:17Bye-bye.
38:18Bye-bye.
38:24There we go.

43:12Jack's gone
43:14makes no difference
43:16Derek's changed or I have or both of us
43:21you know I don't think David has changed a bit
43:24I can't handle his dirty under clothes without feeling sick
43:27drives me mad to hear him munching toast
43:29do you feel like that?
43:31no he's he's been gone such a long time
43:34tell me I want to know I want to know if others put up with it
43:38did you get so that you just couldn't stand the sight of him?
43:41no no but well we had different reasons
43:46it's not Derek's fault poor man he's wounded
43:49it's the war
43:52but it's wounded me too
43:55there are times when I think I hate him
43:59does that mean you're going to leave him?
44:01no no no no no no how can I?
44:04there are children and there's Derek I owe him something
44:09so I'm chained to him
44:11do you owe him something?
44:13after what he's been through yes I do he's a lost man
44:16no I think they all are
44:18I can't leave him

44:58I dare say but they just happened to be short of good pilots
45:01oh and you were the one who volunteered
45:02well let's say that my being available made it easier for squadron to tip the wink to the MO

45:08yes go on and then help me think about that post-war job
45:11oh shh listen
45:13um I think we ought to talk about your future David that's what I came back for
