You said you'd burn it off one day. 776 00:53:32,248 --> 00:53:35,026 The leaves have all gone off the apple tree, ducks. 777 00:53:35,126 --> 00:53:38,529 Oh, yes! What a shame! 778 00:53:38,629 --> 00:53:41,408 Still, it'll be lovely in the spring. 779 00:53:41,508 --> 00:53:43,747 It is spring, dear. 780 00:53:46,596 --> 00:53:48,373 Oh!

Science is still in its infancy. 790 00:54:20,339 --> 00:54:22,908 What does the fallout look like, dear? 791 00:54:23,008 --> 00:54:25,828 I don't know. The... government directive 792 00:54:25,928 --> 00:54:28,914 neglects to mention how the populous could recognise it. 793 00:54:29,014 --> 00:54:32,294 I expect it's a bit like snow, ducks. Only greyer. 794 00:54:32,394 --> 00:54:34,753 The grass looks a funny colour. 795 00:54:34,853 --> 00:54:39,050 Yes, I'll pop down to Mr Sponge's tomorrow and get some bone meal and dried blood. 796 00:54:39,150 --> 00:54:41,928 He might be closed due to the bomb, dear. 797 00:54:42,028 --> 00:54:48,268 What, old Sponge? Miss a day's trade? Not him! He'd rather die! 798 00:54:48,368 --> 00:54:52,272 It's very cloudy. Almost foggy. 799 00:54:52,372 --> 00:54:54,608 We need some sun to bring the garden on. 800 00:54:54,708 --> 00:54:59,738 - The milkman's not been yet. He's late. - Oh, well, that's logical. 801 00:54:59,838 --> 00:55:02,158 He's bound to be a bit late after the bomb. 802 00:55:02,258 --> 00:55:05,119 Perhaps he's been called up to fight, or something. 803 00:55:05,219 --> 00:55:08,497 Oh, yes. Well... maybe. 804 00:55:08,597 --> 00:55:11,122 But they'd have got a woman or something. 805 00:55:13,478 --> 00:55:15,717 - Quiet, isn't it? - Yes. 806 00:55:16,606 --> 00:55:20,593 I haven't seen no trains. No traffic. 807 00:55:20,693 --> 00:55:24,477 I expect they're all having a good lie-in after the bomb. 808 00:55:25,407 --> 00:55:27,434 Terrible smell of burning. 809 00:55:27,534 --> 00:55:32,397 Oh, yes.

Roast dinners. 812 00:55:39,879 --> 00:55:42,991 I expect people are having their Sunday dinners early this week, 813 00:55:43,091 --> 00:55:45,993 due to the unexpected circumstances. 814 00:55:46,093 --> 00:55:50,873 The road's gone all funny. Seems to have melted a bit. 815 00:55:51,351 --> 00:55:55,171 I expect that's why the milkman's late. He's got stuck somewhere. 816 00:55:55,271 --> 00:55:58,341 I wonder if there's a proper war on. 817 00:55:58,441 --> 00:56:00,468 I wonder who's winning. 818 00:56:00,568 --> 00:56:04,139 Never mind. It'll all be in the papers, dear. 819 00:56:04,239 --> 00:56:06,475 Come to think of it, he's late, too. 820 00:56:06,575 --> 00:56:08,809 He missed us altogether yesterday. 821 00:56:08,909 --> 00:56:12,147 Well, you can't expect things to be normal after the bomb. 822 00:56:12,247 --> 00:56:16,526 Difficulties will be experienced throughout the duration of the emergency period. 823 00:56:16,626 --> 00:56:22,331 Normality will only be assumed after the sensation of hostilities. 824 00:56:23,425 --> 00:56:27,325 Oh, dear. I think I'm going to be sick again. 825 00:56:30,765 --> 00:56:33,336 There, there, there, ducks. 826 00:56:33,436 --> 00:56:37,503 All better now? 827 00:56:41,068 --> 00:56:43,679 I had the most terrible diarrhoea this morning. 828 00:56:43,779 --> 00:56:45,806 Nerves, dear. It's just nerves. 829 00:56:45,906 --> 00:56:49,060 I'm the same, and I'm a man. 830 00:56:54,248 --> 00:56:56,488 Let's sit in the garden for a bit. 831 00:56:57,835 --> 00:57:00,738 Don't you think we ought to clear up, dear? 832 00:57:00,838 --> 00:57:03,077 Yes, yes, later on. 833 00:57:04,467 --> 00:57:07,412 I feel a bit... weak and dizzy. 834 00:57:07,512 --> 00:57:09,539 We'll make a start soon. 835 00:57:09,639 --> 00:57:12,500 Well, suppose Jerry comes this afternoon. 836 00:57:12,600 --> 00:57:17,423 No, they'd wait for the fallout to clear. Too dangerous for a few days. 837 00:57:17,523 --> 00:57:19,550 We've got plenty of time. 838 00:57:19,650 --> 00:57:22,427 The situation is well in hand, you bet. 839 00:57:22,527 --> 00:57:25,389 Our boys will be lying in wait for 'em. 840 00:57:25,489 --> 00:57:27,516 I expect they've laid a trap. 841 00:57:27,616 --> 00:57:29,644 Jerry will walk straight into it. 842 00:57:29,744 --> 00:57:33,189 Hello! There's cloud coming up. 843 00:57:33,289 --> 00:57:35,528 Looks like rain. 844 00:57:39,379 --> 00:57:41,947 It's raining! I'm going in. 845 00:57:42,047 --> 00:57:44,326 Rain!

Everybody knows that. 852 00:58:13,664 --> 00:58:17,193 Perhaps I'd better boil it. Best to be on the safe side. 853 00:58:17,293 --> 00:58:21,448 Oh, yes, I suppose so. We don't want to take unnecessary risks. 854 00:58:21,548 --> 00:58:24,284 It may prejudice our chance of survival. 855 00:58:24,384 --> 00:58:27,870 What do you mean, James? We have survived, haven't we? 856 00:58:27,970 --> 00:58:34,378 Yes, I know. But after the bombs on Japan, people died ages later. 857 00:58:34,478 --> 00:58:37,297 I... forget exactly why. 858 00:58:37,397 --> 00:58:39,591 Perhaps they didn't take precautions. 859 00:58:39,691 --> 00:58:43,762 Yes. I expect they neglected to do the correct thing and... 860 00:58:43,862 --> 00:58:45,889 Oh, and anyway, that was years ago. 861 00:58:45,989 --> 00:58:48,017 Science was in its infancy. 862 00:58:48,117 --> 00:58:50,408 We're better equipped to deal with the situation 863 00:58:50,509 --> 00:58:52,895 in the light of modern scientific knowledge. 864 00:58:52,995 --> 00:58:58,735 Oh, yes. Nowadays, there's bound to be all sorts of anditotes and protectives. 865 00:58:58,835 --> 00:59:03,574 When the medics get through, they'll probably just spray us with some anditote, 866 00:59:03,674 --> 00:59:08,453 give us a couple of pills, and in no time, we'll be as right as rain. 867 00:59:12,558 --> 00:59:16,379 I'm glad we moved to the country when you retired, dear. 868 00:59:16,479 --> 00:59:19,086 Yes. Much more peaceful. 869 00:59:19,899 --> 00:59:23,386 If we'd still been in London, we'd probably have been bombed out by now. 870 00:59:23,486 --> 00:59:26,764 Yes. Unless we'd been evacuated. 871 00:59:26,864 --> 00:59:30,352 Oh, that was only children. And women too, of course. 872 00:59:30,452 --> 00:59:33,938 I'd have been requisitioned for essential war work. 873 00:59:34,038 --> 00:59:36,066 But you're far too old. 874 00:59:36,166 --> 00:59:38,194 You're retired. 875 00:59:38,294 --> 00:59:42,655 Yes, but all age groups are pressed into emergency service 876 00:59:42,755 --> 00:59:45,201 during times of national emergency, dear. 877 00:59:45,301 --> 00:59:48,786 I'd have been an air-raid warden. 878 00:59:51,141 --> 00:59:54,674 Or a stretcher bearer for the Red Cross... 879 00:59:55,769 --> 01:00:01,095 and St John's Ambulance Brigade, or a fireman in the docks. 880 01:00:04,362 --> 01:00:07,932 Jerry up above, fire bombs raining down. 881 01:00:08,032 --> 01:00:10,271 Up the turntable ladder. 882 01:00:12,746 --> 01:00:14,985 Carrying women to safety. 883 01:00:16,207 --> 01:00:19,194 Trust you to think of that, James. 884 01:00:21,587 --> 01:00:23,496 I wish we had neighbours. 885 01:00:24,341 --> 01:00:26,909 I'd like to ask someone what's going on. 886 01:00:27,009 --> 01:00:29,621 Well, I warned you, dear. 887 01:00:29,721 --> 01:00:32,916 "This cottage is a bit isolated," I said. 888 01:00:33,016 --> 01:00:35,340 "You're not going to like it," I said. 889 01:00:37,730 --> 01:00:39,969 I wish we didn't have to stay put. 890 01:00:41,442 --> 01:00:43,469 I quite fancy a pint. 891 01:00:43,569 --> 01:00:47,849 I said I'd see old George down the Half Moon today for a game of darts. 892 01:00:52,328 --> 01:00:55,648 I expect he'll be busy with his cows after the bomb. 893 01:00:55,748 --> 01:01:00,154 It might have put them off laying... milking, I mean. 894 01:01:00,254 --> 01:01:03,781 Yes, it may have curdled the milk, or something. 895 01:01:03,881 --> 01:01:06,992 These bombs have a terrific effect on things. 896 01:01:07,092 --> 01:01:09,955 He may have switched over to yoghurt. 897 01:01:10,055 --> 01:01:16,293 Yes.
