00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:11,Here I go again.

00:00:11,420 --> 00:00:14,I hear the trumpet blow again.

00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:18,Oh, what a glow again.

00:00:18,420 --> 00:00:20,Taking a chance on love.

00:00:22,420 --> 00:00:25,Here I slide again.

00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:28,About to take that ride again.

00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:32,Starry -eyed again.

00:00:34,540 --> 00:00:36,Takin', takin' a chance on life.

00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:44,Morning, Allison.

00:00:44,540 --> 00:00:45,Brought you a cup of tea.

00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:48,That's very kindly, Tom.

00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:50,Bought dress, too.

00:00:50,540 --> 00:00:53,G***t zebra droppings out, all right.

00:00:53,820 --> 00:00:55,Still rather distinctive smell.

00:00:56,790 --> 00:01:00,Doesn't matter, Tom. Your cousin Mary
lent me some things last night.

00:01:00,950 --> 00:01:03,Well, I hope you don't mind. I borrowed
a pair of your pyjamas.

00:01:05,730 --> 00:01:07,Long years of boyhood, Alison.

00:01:08,090 --> 00:01:11,Dreamt a body like yours would climb
into my pyjamas.

00:01:11,530 --> 00:01:14,But, Tom... Didn't often happen, of
course.

00:01:15,770 --> 00:01:17,I'm here now, Tom.

00:01:17,670 --> 00:01:18,Yes.

00:01:22,230 --> 00:01:25,You've been out riding? Yes, yes. Went
out with George Poulter.

00:01:25,991 --> 00:01:29,Odd thing, doesn't seem to come back
yet. Tom, you didn't let him ride old

00:01:29,590 --> 00:01:30,Satan, did you?

00:01:31,110 --> 00:01:32,Old Satan?

00:01:32,550 --> 00:01:36,No, because it's on that list of things
your uncle asked us to be careful of

00:01:36,930 --> 00:01:37,while we were here.

00:01:38,690 --> 00:01:40,Here we are, number 73.

00:01:40,690 --> 00:01:41,Yes?

00:01:41,870 --> 00:01:46,Since the stable fire, Satan has become
highly strong and too dangerous to ride.

00:01:47,310 --> 00:01:48,Ah, g***t you right. No, no, no.

00:01:49,170 --> 00:01:51,Poulter went out on horse called Stan.

00:01:52,410 --> 00:01:54,Written up over stable door.

00:01:54,870 --> 00:01:55,Magnificent beast.

00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:57,Eighteen hands, jet black.

00:01:57,980 --> 00:02:01,That's rather large, isn't it? Yes, yes,
but Poulter knows no fear.

00:02:02,140 --> 00:02:04,No respecter of country code, though.

00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:08,Thundered off through four hedges,
shouting at the top of his voice,

00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:10,into dead man's bog.

00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:14,Hope he knows secret path back.

00:02:15,060 --> 00:02:17,Perhaps you'd like to join us tomorrow?

00:02:17,850 --> 00:02:21,Oh, Tom, if I could borrow some clothes,
I'd love to come.

00:02:21,670 --> 00:02:25,I was always very keen on Pony Club as a
girl. Really? Never knew that.

00:02:25,651 --> 00:02:29,Well, not a real Pony Club, of course,
just the little plastic horses from

00:02:29,450 --> 00:02:32,Janet's model farm and some straw in the
bottom of the wardrobe.

00:02:32,830 --> 00:02:36,But we mucked out, made little rosettes,
kept a proper stamp book and

00:02:36,490 --> 00:02:37,everything.

00:02:37,710 --> 00:02:38,Tremendous.

00:02:38,761 --> 00:02:42,Until Daddy found the boy next door
gelding my little cart horse with a

00:02:42,410 --> 00:02:46,soldering iron and he confiscated the
straw.

00:02:46,670 --> 00:02:47,Ah.

00:02:48,010 --> 00:02:53,Lucky enough, personally, to ride range
with Arnold here.

00:02:53,950 --> 00:02:55,Good boy.

00:02:55,211 --> 00:02:57,Seat well, though, did you?

00:02:57,310 --> 00:02:59,Well, to be honest, Tom, no, I didn't.

00:02:59,930 --> 00:03:02,I suppose I was just worried about this
weekend.

00:03:07,270 --> 00:03:08,Tom?

00:03:09,170 --> 00:03:15,I thought there might be one left.

00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:24,relations and friends, Tom. You know, I
so wanted it to be a success.

00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:28,Well, last night wasn't a very good
start, was it?

00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:30,Yeah, it's all my fault, Renny.

00:03:32,920 --> 00:03:37,I should never have gone through a
safari park like that. I wasn't thinking

00:03:37,820 --> 00:03:38,the zebras, Tom.

00:03:38,871 --> 00:03:43,I just found it rather embarrassing to
arrive in a strange house after midnight

00:03:43,060 --> 00:03:45,in a police car with a siren jammed.

00:03:46,060 --> 00:03:48,And then to get out to find it's run
over the family cat.

00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:51,Very old cat, Alison.

00:03:52,180 --> 00:03:53,Hardly ever used these days.

00:03:53,841 --> 00:03:57,I g***t the feeling standing there in the
hallway that he'd rather we hadn't come

00:03:57,820 --> 00:04:01,at all. Not at all, Alison. Not at all.
Not like you.

00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:03,No, they're your relations.

00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:08,And, you know, I want so much for it to
be a success. I want them to like me,

00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:13,Tom. I had no idea the house was this
big, and I can't remember anybody's

00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:15,Which one was George Poulter?

00:04:15,620 --> 00:04:16,Poulter? Ah!

00:04:16,700 --> 00:04:19,One who g***t shoveled to scrape cat off
gravel.

00:04:20,380 --> 00:04:24,So who was the woman who was complaining
about the blood all over her dress?

00:04:24,340 --> 00:04:25,Cousin Julia.

00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:26,Short red hair.

00:04:26,820 --> 00:04:32,Old Dr Caffrey was one who mopped chest
with pocket handkerchiefs.

00:04:32,620 --> 00:04:36,So the man who... pushed his way through
the crowd to give the kiss of life to

00:04:36,300 --> 00:04:40,that young policeman. That must have
been Sir... John Blade. That's it. Sir

00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:42,Blade. Ex -Civil Service.

00:04:42,540 --> 00:04:47,Old friend of Uncle Evelyn's from
Cambridge in thirties. Young fellow in

00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,yellow jumpsuit with him.

00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:50,Secretary, I think.

00:04:52,280 --> 00:04:54,All here. Only one reason, Alison.

00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:56,Celebrate our engagement.

00:04:57,760 --> 00:04:58,See you at breakfast.

00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:00,Oh, no, Tom, please.

00:05:00,540 --> 00:05:03,Wait for me. I'll get dressed and come
down with you.

00:05:04,670 --> 00:05:06,Only wearing top half, Alice.

00:05:07,390 --> 00:05:10,Oh, I think pyjama bottoms are a little
bit personal, Tom.

00:05:11,890 --> 00:05:15,Yes, um, well... George Porter's still
not here.

00:05:15,910 --> 00:05:19,Do you think we ought to go out and look
for him, Tom? No, no, not to worry.

00:05:19,830 --> 00:05:24,Easily get lift. Always falls on his
feet, you know. Yes, probably on his

00:05:24,850 --> 00:05:29,stretched out in the back of some
vehicle, being driven home this very

00:05:48,910 --> 00:05:50,Morning, Uncle Evelyn.

00:05:50,290 --> 00:05:51,Morning, Mary.

00:05:52,170 --> 00:05:54,You're sure this weekend was a good
idea?

00:05:54,391 --> 00:05:58,Well, we had to do something. The poor
fellow's just g***t himself engaged. We

00:05:58,230 --> 00:05:59,couldn't ignore the fact.

00:05:59,330 --> 00:06:03,How about if you all went home and sent
him a large amount of money in the post?

00:06:03,690 --> 00:06:07,I've taken a few precautions, and I
think we all behaved sensibly and

00:06:07,750 --> 00:06:10,Well, I'm laying odds one of us won't be
here for dinner tonight.

00:06:11,530 --> 00:06:12,What sort of precautions?

00:06:12,851 --> 00:06:15,Just the usual things, the obvious
things.

00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:18,I've alerted the emergency services.
We've evacuated the two next -door

00:06:18,540 --> 00:06:19,cottages.

00:06:20,500 --> 00:06:24,Jarvis has put a first -aid box in every
room, and I've locked the gun cupboard.

00:06:24,411 --> 00:06:27,I'm afraid that means the shoot is
cancelled.

00:06:27,180 --> 00:06:28,Thank God for that.

00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:30,I thought we'd play cards instead.

00:06:30,700 --> 00:06:32,And there was one other thing.

00:06:32,741 --> 00:06:34,Morning, Uncle Evelyn.

00:06:34,980 --> 00:06:36,Morning. Morning, Mary.

00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:37,Morning, morning.

00:06:37,300 --> 00:06:39,Just help yourself from the sideboard,
my dear.

00:06:40,140 --> 00:06:43,Wish I could remember what the other
thing was. Other thing?

00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:44,Oh, nothing.

00:06:44,620 --> 00:06:46,It's going to annoy me all day.

00:06:46,061 --> 00:06:48,Did you manage to sleep all right,
Alison?

00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:52,Yes, thank you. We were a little
concerned by the screaming.

00:06:52,300 --> 00:06:54,Oh, I'm sorry about that.

00:06:54,300 --> 00:06:58,You see, I was just getting undressed
when I...
