00:00:09,900 --> 00:00:15,Here I go again I hear the trumpet blow
again

00:00:15,940 --> 00:00:22,Oh, what a blow again Taking a chance on
love

00:00:22,340 --> 00:00:29,Here I slide again About to take that
ride

00:00:29,340 --> 00:00:30,again

00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:43,It was a full church, Daddy.

00:00:43,740 --> 00:00:47,It was Harvest Festival. I just don't
know how you could do it. I was asked my

00:00:47,480 --> 00:00:50,opinion, Alison, and I felt... It was a
rhetorical question, Daddy.

00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:54,When the bands are published and they
ask of any cause or impediment, they

00:00:54,780 --> 00:00:58,expect the bride's father to stand up
and say they don't think the couple toot

00:00:58,040 --> 00:00:59,each other.

00:01:00,319 --> 00:01:01,Well, we're worried, Petal.

00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:06,Worried whether you can cope with him. I
mean, supposing he gets violent after

00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:10,one of his drinking sessions? Yes. Oh,
what do you mean, drinking sessions?

00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,Who can guess how much mouth of hand
I've used?

00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:18,He has an occasional lager. Whoever
guesses can lick out the icing bowl.

00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:22,In the five days that we've been here,
Alison, every time I go into that front

00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:26,room, Tom heads straight for the
sideboard and pours himself a drink.

00:01:26,020 --> 00:01:29,Yes, and can you blame him? He gives up
his house and his... home to him, what

00:01:29,450 --> 00:01:30,does he get in return?

00:01:30,570 --> 00:01:33,The latest divorce statistics sell a
tape to his shaving mirror.

00:01:34,750 --> 00:01:38,I wonder if anyone can guess how many
sultanas went into this.

00:01:38,830 --> 00:01:42,I don't understand you. I really don't.
I mean, all my life you've been saying

00:01:42,750 --> 00:01:46,when Mr. Wright comes along... You don't
have to tell him it's too late.

00:01:46,430 --> 00:01:47,You're marrying Tom.

00:01:47,770 --> 00:01:52,You don't have to do it, Petal. You can
have the baby at home with us.

00:01:52,630 --> 00:01:56,Oh, Mummy, I wish you'd both just
understand that I want to get married.

00:01:57,150 --> 00:01:58,I... to be, Mrs. Chan.

00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:03,I want a church wedding. I want a ring
on my finger.

00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:09,You shouldn't have said that.

00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:13,What? Well, after nine broken
engagements, you know.

00:02:13,860 --> 00:02:16,She's very sensitive on the subject.

00:02:16,380 --> 00:02:19,Oh, Mummy, she's the bridesmaid at my
wedding tomorrow.

00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,Well, try not to talk about it unless
you have to.

00:02:23,740 --> 00:02:26,She's in a very funny mood about men at
the moment.

00:02:26,211 --> 00:02:29,I don't know what she said to the
milkman yesterday, but he leaves your

00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:30,next door now.

00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,There's just over 12 ,000 sultanas.

00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:35,Who won it right then?

00:02:37,100 --> 00:02:38,Oh, come in, Tom.

00:02:38,500 --> 00:02:42,Oh, no, no, he mustn't see you. You've
g***t in your wedding dress, Alison.

00:02:42,700 --> 00:02:46,It's bad luck if he sees you before the
wedding in that. Oh, really?

00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,All these things you're not supposed to
do before you get married.

00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,Yes. Well, it's nice to remember some of
them.

00:02:55,850 --> 00:02:56,and manage them all.

00:02:57,750 --> 00:02:59,Ah, morning, all. Morning, morning.

00:03:00,030 --> 00:03:03,You'd have to help yourself to
breakfast, I'm afraid, Tom. We're all a

00:03:03,790 --> 00:03:06,sixes and sevens. Donuts proud here,
Mrs. Herbert.

00:03:07,230 --> 00:03:11,Wonderful sight. Must be best part of ,000 salsanas in there.

00:03:15,910 --> 00:03:16,No spoons?

00:03:17,250 --> 00:03:21,I discovered they hadn't been sterilised
since our last visit, Tom. So I'm

00:03:21,990 --> 00:03:23,giving them a good boil.

00:03:31,911 --> 00:03:38,Have you seen what old Mrs. Lankford
sent them as a wedding present?

00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:40,Black leather. Black leather what?

00:03:40,261 --> 00:03:43,Well, until I saw the picture of these
girls on the front of the box, I thought

00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:45,they were high -security luggage straps.

00:03:49,340 --> 00:03:52,Why would Mrs. Lankford send something
like that?

00:03:52,660 --> 00:03:57,Probably my fault. Remember, she phoned
earlier, two weeks ago, to ask what we'd

00:03:57,700 --> 00:03:59,like and suggested Alison might
appreciate...

00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:01,Black and Decker attachment.

00:04:02,860 --> 00:04:04,Obviously depper than I thought.

00:04:07,100 --> 00:04:09,Ah, no milk. Well, never mind.

00:04:10,220 --> 00:04:11,Go out into the street.

00:04:11,301 --> 00:04:15,Um, I think it would be advisable, Tom,
to return these discreetly to the box

00:04:15,020 --> 00:04:16,number indicated.

00:04:16,140 --> 00:04:18,No need. Think Alison quite keen on
them.

00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,A glass of lager. Thank you.

00:05:28,060 --> 00:05:30,A bit early in the day for me. But

00:05:30,180 --> 00:05:37,I'm sorry you've only had sugar puffs,
Tom.

00:05:37,081 --> 00:05:39,How do you hope that's cooking your
proper breakfast now?

00:05:39,820 --> 00:05:40,Ah, good.

00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:44,Oh, yes.

00:05:44,420 --> 00:05:47,I wanted you to admire this before it
goes on the cake.

00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:50,Splendid.

00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:55,Very little thing.

00:05:55,180 --> 00:05:57,Seen Cousin Janet's wedding present?

00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:01,Fold away coffee, come games table. Made
it herself.

00:06:02,940 --> 00:06:04,Yes, plays tune as well.

00:06:04,861 --> 00:06:09,Works by remote control, Tom. Oh,
really? When you want it to change the

00:06:09,280 --> 00:06:11,and ladders, you clap your hands and it
plays a tune.

00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:13,What? Like this?

00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:20,That's if you don't want chess anymore.
When the music starts, it's all...

00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:35,Pity about, um... Ah, well, never mind.

00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:39,Did you sleep all right in the tent,
Tom? Yes, yes, yes. Much better,

00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:44,Only one disaster at last night, about
three o 'clock. Grappling irons on low

00:06:44,180 --> 00:06:48,-flying hot air balloon pulled out main
guy rope.

00:06:48,380 --> 00:06:49,Oh, no.

00:06:50,260 --> 00:06:51,Anything wrong?

00:06:51,340 --> 00:06:54,Oh, Tom, it's from the post office about
the wedding invitation.

00:06:54,591 --> 00:06:55,Oh, absolutely.

00:06:55,860 --> 00:06:58,Sent out 150, not a single reply.

00:06:58,340 --> 00:06:59,Any explanation?

00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:05,Corporation Payride came through.

00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:08,His wife had twins and he sold his first
novel.

00:07:08,361 --> 00:07:12,He doesn't remember doing it, but they
found all the invitation tied to a

00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:14,pigeon's leg on top of the Royal Oak.

00:07:16,140 --> 00:07:17,Fairly typical, I must say.

00:07:18,700 --> 00:07:20,There's the honeymoon ticket.

00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:25,Yes, yes. Haven't even g***t right
continent this time. Oh, no, Tom. The

00:07:25,300 --> 00:07:27,the travel agent's promised me.

00:07:27,281 --> 00:07:28,Yes.

00:07:28,660 --> 00:07:32,Oh, we'll have to go round there. Ah,
could be tricky, Alison.

00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:34,Car for... of cardboard boxes.

00:07:35,010 --> 00:07:36,Boxes of what?

00:07:36,370 --> 00:07:37,Wedding photos.

00:07:38,110 --> 00:07:40,Odd thing. Find one here.

00:07:40,530 --> 00:07:44,Rather flimsy dress, lit from behind,
can see all her...

00:08:04,270 --> 00:08:07,This is to say, whoever it is, bring
some news to cheer you up.

00:08:08,590 --> 00:08:09,Hold on.

00:08:13,550 --> 00:08:16,Ah, Bob, just the fellow. Come in.

00:08:16,610 --> 00:08:19,It's bad news, I'm afraid, Tom.

00:08:20,650 --> 00:08:24,Well, still been bowler short for next
Saturday.

00:08:25,710 --> 00:08:27,Easily changed honeymoon date.

00:08:28,230 --> 00:08:31,No, the fact is, I'm not going to...

00:08:31,950 --> 00:08:33,able to be best man for you tomorrow.

00:08:34,690 --> 00:08:36,My grandmother's died, you see.

00:08:36,851 --> 00:08:41,As you know, Tom, she was leaving me her
money on condition I g***t married before

00:08:41,890 --> 00:08:42,I was 35.

00:08:43,230 --> 00:08:47,Yes, remember it well. It said you
preferred to wait for right woman. Not

00:08:47,050 --> 00:08:51,to be bought for a few hundred pounds.
Man of principle. Remember it...
