00:00:02,670 --> 00:00:04,Here I go again.

00:00:04,930 --> 00:00:08,I hear the trumpet blow again.

00:00:08,910 --> 00:00:11,Oh, what a blow again.

00:00:11,950 --> 00:00:14,Taking a chance on love.

00:00:15,830 --> 00:00:18,Me right side again.

00:00:19,130 --> 00:00:22,About to take that right again.

00:00:23,630 --> 00:00:25,Dari -eyed again.

00:00:26,230 --> 00:00:30,Taking, taking a chance on love.

00:00:42,830 --> 00:00:44,Not much good at speeches.

00:00:44,350 --> 00:00:46,Not much like long goodbyes, either.

00:00:47,090 --> 00:00:50,Just wanted to say... Oh, hop.

00:00:52,570 --> 00:00:53,Back in a minute.

00:00:59,830 --> 00:01:01,Alison! Lovely surprise.

00:01:02,190 --> 00:01:04,Didn't expect to see you come in. Do
come in.

00:01:12,110 --> 00:01:17,I thought you were going to be romantic,
but really, soft lights, music, drinks.

00:01:17,930 --> 00:01:19,It's only ten o 'clock in the morning.

00:01:21,130 --> 00:01:22,Ah, yes, that.

00:01:25,730 --> 00:01:26,Better explain.

00:01:26,830 --> 00:01:30,I'm not pushing you too fast, ** I, Tom?
I mean, I'm not forcing you into

00:01:30,910 --> 00:01:32,something you're not really ready for.

00:01:33,370 --> 00:01:36,It's only really what I said in my
letter, that's all.

00:01:36,690 --> 00:01:40,Letter? Well, the one that said I'd be
calling round today and that, um...

00:01:42,860 --> 00:01:44,You did get it, didn't you?

00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:48,Afraid not, no. Actually, I haven't had
any letters now for six and a half

00:01:48,420 --> 00:01:49,weeks. Haven't you?

00:01:50,300 --> 00:01:51,Yes. Well, why not?

00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:53,Oh, no idea.

00:01:53,131 --> 00:01:57,Coincidence happens to me all the time.
I'd like to know what your letter said,

00:01:57,020 --> 00:02:02,though. Oh, well, um... It said, um...
Tom,

00:02:02,381 --> 00:02:06,if you didn't get my letter, then why
are you drinking whiskey with the

00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:09,drawn and the lights turned down at ten
o 'clock in the morning?

00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:11,Yes, um, I had some rather sad news
yesterday.

00:02:12,620 --> 00:02:16,It's a sort of memorial service for
Barnaby. Barnaby?

00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:18,Wallace's replacement.

00:02:18,540 --> 00:02:19,Dead? Completely.

00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:22,Oh, no.

00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:28,I've never had a hamster myself, but I
know you can get very fond of him.

00:02:29,500 --> 00:02:31,Well, how did it happen?

00:02:31,300 --> 00:02:33,It fell down the back of the sofa.

00:02:34,860 --> 00:02:35,Squashed him.

00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:37,Really do miss him.

00:02:38,380 --> 00:02:39,Friendly little beggar.

00:02:39,920 --> 00:02:40,But...

00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:45,In the flower pot.

00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:50,Going to put him over there by the
window soon. How about we get some

00:02:50,580 --> 00:02:51,and plant them in his pot?

00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,That way, whenever we look at them,
we'll think of Barnaby.

00:02:55,820 --> 00:02:58,Wonderful idea, Alison. Really wonderful
idea.

00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:00,Rather touched by that.

00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:02,Any particular sort of flowers in mind?

00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:08,Oh, snowdrops, daffodils, pansies. Not
pansies, I think.

00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,Very much a man's hamster.

00:03:11,931 --> 00:03:16,the old friend, shall we? Lovely,
lovely, yes.

00:03:16,340 --> 00:03:17,Quite cheered me up.

00:03:18,500 --> 00:03:22,Tom, have you really not had any letters
for six and a half weeks?

00:03:22,461 --> 00:03:26,Absolutely, not a one, not a one. Used
to have three, four a day. Oh, you know,

00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:30,bills, stuff from Reader's Digest, g***t a
catalogue from Fratton's once.

00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,Then six and a half weeks ago, all dried
up.

00:03:34,220 --> 00:03:35,That's very strange.

00:03:35,660 --> 00:03:36,No, no, no, not really.

00:03:37,300 --> 00:03:41,Learned as a victim of coincidence to
live with these things. Learned to flow

00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,with the tide. Look, you'll forgive me.
** I persisting, Tom? You see, when I

00:03:45,220 --> 00:03:49,was coming up the road, I saw the
postman. I saw him put some letters

00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:51,your box. They must have gone somewhere.

00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:52,Nothing there now.

00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:53,See for yourself.

00:03:53,731 --> 00:03:56,Well, I'm going to have a jolly good
look round.

00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:59,I couldn't find anything, Alison. Check
that hall every day for six weeks.

00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:02,Absolutely no letters.

00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:06,I still can't believe it, really.

00:04:07,180 --> 00:04:09,It must have been a combination of
things.

00:04:10,140 --> 00:04:12,New postman, hitting letters.

00:04:13,550 --> 00:04:15,Through box, harder than before.

00:04:16,209 --> 00:04:21,Drop from hall window, floating letters
up behind storage heater.

00:04:21,490 --> 00:04:22,Extraordinary.

00:04:23,830 --> 00:04:25,Very interesting.

00:04:25,470 --> 00:04:30,Oh, it's another unpaid bill, Tom. The
gas board are threatening to cut you off

00:04:30,050 --> 00:04:31,and the electricity.

00:04:31,370 --> 00:04:33,You don't hand these bills, really.

00:04:33,151 --> 00:04:36,Well, because you haven't been getting
them. You haven't been paying them.

00:04:36,710 --> 00:04:38,Never do pay bills.

00:04:38,630 --> 00:04:42,Too many things can go wrong, so get
bank to pay them, but...

00:04:42,451 --> 00:04:45,Doesn't seem to have done so. All these
return cheques. Bank must have gone

00:04:45,610 --> 00:04:46,stark raving mad.

00:04:47,090 --> 00:04:51,Oh, I think I might have part of the
reason here, Tom. It's your statement.

00:04:51,530 --> 00:04:52,You're a bit overdrawn.

00:04:53,430 --> 00:04:55,Overdrawn? Never. Impossible.

00:04:55,330 --> 00:04:57,Never, ever been overdrawn. How much?

00:04:57,290 --> 00:04:58,£9 ,300.

00:04:59,250 --> 00:05:05,And there's a letter from the manager as
well requesting that you

00:05:05,810 --> 00:05:07,rectify this within seven days.

00:05:08,030 --> 00:05:11,Yes. Dear Mr Chance, we know...

00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:16,What are you going to do?

00:05:16,660 --> 00:05:17,Going to phone back now.

00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:29,Ah, yes.

00:05:29,980 --> 00:05:32,Better make call from box down road.

00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:35,Alison, very grateful.

00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:36,Crisis averted.

00:05:36,840 --> 00:05:38,All thanks to you.

00:05:54,619 --> 00:05:55,Oh, hello.

00:05:56,820 --> 00:05:59,Hello. Is that the veterinary surgeon?

00:05:59,860 --> 00:06:03,Yes, I'm sorry to trouble you, but it's
about my daughter's hamster.

00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:10,Yes, I know you don't normally deal with
very small animals, but she's very fond

00:06:10,140 --> 00:06:12,of this one, and the little fellow is
obviously not well.

00:06:13,500 --> 00:06:14,Hmm?

00:06:14,700 --> 00:06:18,Oh, well, it's partly it's breathing,
and partly it's g***t one or two other

00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:20,problems.

00:06:22,340 --> 00:06:23,Connected with the other end.

00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:29,I... I wondered if it was worth my while
bringing him round to you, because if

00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:33,you could help him in some way, I'd
be... Hello?

00:06:35,100 --> 00:06:36,Hello?

00:06:36,780 --> 00:06:38,Hello? Oh.

00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:42,Oh, God.

00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:45,Oh,

00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:47,Tom, make them sort it out. It's not
your fault.

00:06:48,100 --> 00:06:51,They're the ones who've made the error.
Yes, yes. It mustn't have changed.

00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:53,They don't seem to mean it.

00:06:59,850 --> 00:07:04,Actually... I don't know why that
happened.

00:07:05,330 --> 00:07:06,It's funny, isn't it?

00:07:12,990 --> 00:07:14,Hello? Yes.

00:07:15,050 --> 00:07:17,Chance. Tom. Chance.

00:07:17,470 --> 00:07:19,Like a word with manager, please?

00:07:19,410 --> 00:07:20,No.

00:07:20,910 --> 00:07:21,Manager.

00:07:42,380 --> 00:07:43,Sit back.

00:07:43,460 --> 00:07:45,Manager, too busy to come to phone.

00:07:45,660 --> 00:07:48,Have to go round. Would you like me to
come, too?

00:07:48,660 --> 00:07:50,Kind of. Not really necessary.

00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:55,I could wait back at the house for you,
make a bit of lunch, perhaps.

00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:57,Lovely idea.

00:07:57,660 --> 00:08:01,Lovely. Should be about an hour. Oh,
good. And then when you get back,...
