Heartbeat
Why do you miss when
my baby kisses me?
Heartbeat
Why does a love kiss
stay in my memory? ♪
I know it's small,
but it's what she's always wanted.
Now, this is the sitting room.
Sliding doors into the garden.
Very posh.
I'll be doing all the carpentry
myself, of course.
I'd best get back to work, Alf.
Aye, and me. As soon as
these subcontractors arrive.
They've got all this
modern machinery.
Going to do the cesspit in a day.
DEAN MARTIN:
Memories Are Made of This
You can't beat the
memories you gave me
Take one fresh and tender kiss
Add one stolen night of bliss
One girl, one boy
Some grief, some joy
Memories are made of this
See you later.
Don't forget a small moonbeam
Hold it lightly with a dream
Your lips and mine
Two sips of wine ♪
Well, now.
Now I thought you were supposed
to be at home in bed with measles.
I'm better now, Mr. Hutton.
Well, I'm glad to hear it.
Does your mother know you're here?
Oh. I thought so.
Well, you better get
home, don't you.
I mean, you don't want
a walloping, do you.
Hold on.
All right.
Hand in, all you can grab.
By 'eck. That hand gets
bigger every day, doesn't it?
Right. In your pocket
and off you go.
And I tell you what.
I think you better come and
help me in the shed tonight.
I'm planning to take off the track
and do a whole new layout.
I can't do a thing without
my top engineer, can I?
Off you go then.
- Hi, Mrs. Hutton.
- Hello, Colin.
BERNARD CRIBBINS:
Right Said Fred
Right, said Fred,
both of us together
One each end and
steady as we go
Tried to shift it,
couldn't even lift it
We was getting nowhere
And so we had a cup of tea
Right, said Fred,
give a shout to Charlie
Up comes Charlie
from the floor below
After straining,
heaving and complaining
CLINK
We was getting nowhere
And so we had a cup of tea
Oi!
and he thought we ought
to take off all the handles
And the things
what held the candles
But it did no good
I never thought it would ♪
CLUCKING
I left your dinner in the office.
Colin's been down, hasn't he?
And he came round the house.
First thing. It's a nuisance.
Look Sandra, answering the door
a few times is not going to kill you.
Ah, morning, Mr. Rowan
Mr. Hutton, Maddleskirk Station
had a break-in last night.
A departure board
and a lamp this time.
CHUCKLES
I heard.
We don't want Aidensfield
to be next on the list.
It won't be. All them thefts
are on t'other branch lines.
The one that Mr. Beeching and his
clever dicks is going to shut down.
- Yes, it's a shame.
- Not a shame, Mr. Rowan.
An act of pure unmitigated folly.
Well, if you keep your eyes open.
Make sure you lock up at night.
Aye, righto.
Here she comes.
Dead on time.
Tell you what, Mr. Rowan.
Maybe Dr. Beeching nicked
that stuff from the other line.
Oh, right, said Fred,
climbing up the ladder
With his crowbar
gave a mighty blow
Was he in trouble
Half a ton of rubble
Landed on the top of his dome
So Charlie and me
had another cup of tea
Now, then!
And then we went home ♪
You!
Morning.
Oh, I don't know, Maggie.
The other two down with measles.
The head's off sick and
this one disappearing
when he should be
eating his breakfast.
High time you were back
at school, young man.
Oh, no! It's a quarter to nine.
Go on, Joy. I'll see to 'em.
Oh, thanks, Rita.
Good luck with the perm.
Come on!
Eh, what's up with you Colin?
You don't want to miss
Sports Day, do you?
Oh, don't remind me.
Get back into bed and keep
those curtains closed!
Nurse is coming up.
BERNARD CRIBBINS:
Hole in the Ground
There I was, digging this hole
Hole in the ground,
so big and sort of round it was
There was I, digging it deep
It was flat at the bottom
and the sides were steep
When along comes
this bloke in a bowler
Which he lifted and
scratched his head
Oh, he looked down the hole,
poor demented soul
And he said,
'Do you mind if I make a suggestion?' ♪
You! Be careful.
Why don't you go and
direct some traffic?

CHILDREN SHOUTING
- Hello, Joy.
- I'm on my own, Eileen.
The head WOULD be
off on Sports Day.
Come on, just tell me what to do.
Katie can help.
- Teacher's pet!
- Yeah, you are.
Hello, Eileen. Katie!
What, you're watching
the boys racing?
She's going to help
hold the finishing tape.
Hey, hello.
HISS!
I think I've hit some foundations.
Used to be a pig farm
before the war, you know.
Get up and then lift the bucket up.
See if I can see what's happened.
Hey!
David!
David?
Quick. I'm stuck.
Get me out before it goes off.
- What is it, Mr Greengrass?
- It's a flamin' bomb!
Go and get help.
Alfred, go home.
Get out of it! Go on. Go on!
PHONE RINGS
Ashfordly Police.
A bomb?
In a cesspit.
And Claude Greengrass
is trapped on top of it.
Pull the other one.
Hello?
Stop!
Quick!
Mr. Greengrass is stuck on a bomb!
Please go home, son.
Go on home, there's a good boy.
Alfred, Alfred.
Alfred, go home.
Get him out before he
starts this thing off.
- Has that been moved, Claude?
- Yes!
Well, don't just hey!
Hey! Leave it alone, will you?
Get the Royal Engineers
on the line, Phil.
Nick, what's happening?
Mr. Greengrass is gonna die!
Unexploded bomb.
If they don't hurry up,
it'll go off.
Keep calm, Claude.
It's probably a false alarm.
I've gotta get out!
They won't be here for
at least an hour, Nick.
So what am I gonna
do with Greengrass?
Well, he's got to keep
absolutely still and
you've got to clear everybody
back 100 yards.
All right. Thanks, Phil.
Alright, now we've got to
clear the immediate area
while we wait for the Army.
Can you stay with him
see he doesn't move?
I can try.
I'll be back as soon as
I clear these houses.
I've got to get out!
Claude Jeremiah Greengrass.
Please, stop being such a baby.
Keep still.
THE ANIMALS:
We Gotta Get Out Of This Place
Where the sun refuse to shine
People tell me there
ain't no use in trying
Now my girl you're
so young and pretty
And one thing I know is true ♪
We need to move everybody
back to the end of the road.
We're doing Rita's perm, Nick!
There are two kids
upstairs with measles!
This is serious. There's a bomb.
Watch my daddy in bed at night
Watch his hair been turning grey
He's been working and
slaving his life away
Oh, yes, I know it
He's been working so hard ♪
It's not what you think, Mr. Rowan.
And it's not what he thinks either.
There's a bomb at the
back of your garden.
We need to evacuate
the house immediately.
A bomb?
I've never felt such
a fool in all my life!
If I can't put the neutraliser on
in 20 minutes, it'll be ruined!
We gotta get out of this place
Girl, there's a better
life for me and you ♪
All right? Thanks, Maggie.
Those Ellis kids are up there.
Alright. I'll go and call them.
It weren't my fault, Mr. Rowan.
The digger broke, promise.
All right, David.
- Shh!
- What?
I think it's ticking.
No, it's not.
How long are they gonna be?
About half an hour.
Claude, even if this IS a bomb
What do you mean?
Of course it's a flamin' bomb!
It's been here for 20
years without going off.
What makes you think
it's going to go off now?
That's how they are.
One up on top of the
moor killed three sheep.
All they found was some
bits o' wool and a foot.
CHEERING
Ha-ha-ha!
WHISTLE
Everybody for the
three-legged race!
Line up, children, quickly!
Told you you'd lose.
You little weed. Ha-ha-ha!
By heck, Claude,
you ARE in a pickle.
We're supposed to be
keeping this area clear.
I were wondering about sandbags?
George
We always use sandbags
in the Home Guard.
Why don't you make yourself useful
and take Alfred and this
one somewhere safe?
How about sounding the sirens?
I used to be Air Raid
Warden, you know.
Come on, Alfred.
I knew it.
I knew you couldn't be trusted.
THEME FROM THE DAMBUSTERS
BELL RINGS
First right, sir.
I've never seen anything like this.
We won't be able to get him off
without the whole thing shifting.
Well, there's nothing here, sir.
It was definitely moved, was it?
Yeah.
Alright, gentlemen.
It's a bomb, I'm afraid,
and a big one too.
500 kilograms.
It's not ticking yet, but that's
not to say that it won't start.
So our immediate priority
is to get our friend here off
so that we can start work on it.
Contact base and tell them
we need a Crash Crew.
And if your lot can handle
the civilian evacuation.
Yeah, we've already moved
everyone back a 100 yards.
Must be a 1,000 yards minimum
with a bomb this size.
- Well, that's the whole village.
- Afraid so.
There's enough explosive in that to
blow the whole place to smithereens.
Katie and all the kids
are on the sports field.
Go on. Clear off.
- Hey, don't you leave me.
- I've got to go.
I'll stay with you.
That's all I need.
I've been in some holes in my time,
but this takes the biscuit.
Don't light one of them up!
Where's Nick?
Nick! What can I do?
- We've got to evacuate the village.
- What, the whole village?
From the railway station up.
Everyone within a
1,000 yards of this bomb.
Bellamy!
Hello?
Somebody!
Anybody.
Sandra!
Go up to the station, tell your
husband to hold the next train.
Everyone can get on it.
Gina, go up to the police house.
Phone the convent, see
if we can use the hall.
Well, go on, Sandra.
You better stay up there as well.
We need someone to man the phone.
- You take my bike, all right?
- Okay.
Phil, we'd better get that
school moving. Come on.
Is she all right on the bike?
"Sarge
I had to go to Aidensfield
due to unidentified
UXB."
Get them down to the
station as fast as you can.
Phil'll organise the parents.
We can't go till
you're quiet, children.
Oh, no. What about
my other two at home?
What if Rita hasn't got them out?
Look, if you're too worried,
go home make sure.
But I can't leave this lot.
Of course you can.
I can manage.
I've got Constable Bellamy to help me.
Now look, go with Nick.
Right, then. Let's go.
Come along, now. Shoo!
GIGGLING
Shoo! That's it, come on.
- Right now, Mr
- Greengrass.
We're going to lift you but
we mustn't move the bomb.
Well, we all know that!
I've already told you,
my foot's jammed!
Try and calm him down, will you?
Officers
JOHNNY KIDD & THE PIRATES:
Shakin' All Over
When you move in
right up close to me
That's when I get
the shakes all over me
Quivers down the backbone
I got the shakes
down the kneebone
Yeah, tremors in the thigh bone
I'm going to die, you know.
Shakin' all over ♪
And I've not even
made a will yet, either.
We need you out now, Constable.
Hang on a minute. I want
everything to go to my daughter.
Daughter?!
You haven't got a daughter.
I have, in Redcar.
Just write down
that she takes Alfred.
AIR RAID SIREN
Quivers down the backbone
I got shivers down
the thigh bone
Yeah, tremors in the backbone
Don't panic.
Don't panic, now.
Don't panic, children.
Ignore the silly old man.
Keep moving. Keep moving.
Don't panic.
It's a bit tight.
Be careful how you pull it!
I've got a bad back.
Here, I thought you told
us you were a commando.
I didn't say I was a brave 'un.
Ooh-arrh!
Be careful. Not too fast.
Aah! Oh
Shakin' all over ♪
Take the strain, lads.
Steady
- Rest.
- And not before time.
(GROANS)
- Ugh.
- Steady.
I feel like the last turkey
in the window.
You all right?
Alright, come on now, come on.
I don't want anymore time now. Get on.
- That's everyone.
- All right, Mr. Hutton?
- Good luck, Phil.
- Right. All set, then.
WHISTLE
TRAIN HOOTS
CHEERING
Come on, stand up.
I can't stand up,
my legs have gone dead.
Who's in charge here?
BRISK TICKING
Right, the name is Blaketon
and this is my patch.
Get back, everyone! She's ticking!
What does he think he's doing?
When they were up they were up
And when they were down
they were down
And when they were
only halfway up
They were neither up nor down
The grand old Duke of York
He had 10,000 men
He marched them up
to the top of the hill
And he marched them down again
And when they were up they were up
And when they were down
they were down
What are you, Smith,
a complete wimp?
I was trying to warn
the civilians, sir.
Get the S Set and for God's sake,
try and pull yourself together,
or you'll be out of my team
before you know what's hit you.
Bad news, I'm afraid.
The delayed fuse has started ticking.
You mean it's going to go off?
Well it could continue ticking
for as long as 84 hours.
Or it could go off straight away.
You never can tell.
- What about my digger?
- Sorry?
I don't want to leave it there
if that thing's going off.
Never mind your ruddy digger!
What about my building plot!
I need you to get
everyone right back, Sgt.
Including that clown there.
That's nice, in't it?
Close to death, I've been.
Yeah, you still are.
Shut up and move yourself.
Right, I want all these vehicles
right back at the end of the track.
No need to panic.
S Set, sir.
Right. And how we about to use it?
Immunise the fuse
with salt solution, sir.
Right. Get back on
your listening station.
Yes sir.
By the way, sir,
Smithie's bopping tonight.
He was wondering if you
can make it a bit snappy.
- Bopping?
- Dancing, sir.
FLANAGAN AND ALLAN:
Run, Rabbit, Run
Run rabbit, run rabbit,
run, run, run
Don't give the farmer
his fun, fun, fun
He'll get by without
his rabbit pie
TICKING
Dad, will you be sensible
and get in with Claude.
Never!
Them Germans didn't get
me in two world wars,
they're not gonna get me now.
All right, children.
I want you all to follow me.
In form order, that's it.
Now we'll go back down
the end of the room.
And I'd like you all to sit
down here on the floor.
Alright?
Oh, this is very good of you, miss
Mother.
I mean, all this, at short notice.
So, I've never had
measles, you know.
Putting me at risk, this.
I'm nearly an old-age pensioner.
Good afternoon, Mother Superior.
These are the children I warned you
about, Mother Superior, Sick Bay.
And uh, this is Mr. Greengrass.
He's had a very nasty experience.
He's in shock, he needs a bath.
I'm not in all that shocked.
I'd a good wash last week, honest.
A hot bath, and a
change of clothes.
Come on.
BOTH: 14, 15, 16.
17, 18, 19.
20, 21, 22.
23, 24, 25.
- There should be 26.
- Who's missing?
Who isn't here, children?
Can anyone tell me?
- Yes?
- Colin Ellis.
- Well, has anyone seen Colin?
- ALL: No, miss.
Oh, Joy. Have you
got Colin with you?
No.
I left him with you.
CREAKING
How long's he been missing?
All right, I'll go and have a look.
Hold on.
Hey!
What do you think
you're playing at?
I thought you were
up at the convent?
I came back for the cat.
The cat? Sandra, that bomb
could go up any moment!
Come on, Sandra.
You get on, leave it to me.
What am I going to do?
He wasn't ever at the
station, Mr. Rowan.
I mean I'd have noticed.
Him and me, we're
like pals, you know.
I've got this train set
at home, you see,
and I let him come
in and play with it.
- Where is it?
- It's in my shed.
But uh, he won't go in there.
I always keep it locked.
Right.
Oh, I just had to stop your wife from
going back home to rescue the cat.
Ah.
Well, that's women for you.
SPLUTTERING
KNOCK AT DOOR
Go away!
- Is the door unlocked?
- I don't know.
Hey, hey, hey.
It's no good you trying to hide.
If I'm having one,
you're having one.
TICKING
How's it going?
- She's stopped, sir.
- Right. Let's get cracking.
What's happened?
Can I ring the missus
and tell her it's okay now?
Oh, it's not over yet, mate.
This is the tricky bit,
unscrewing the base plate.
Oh, aye, it could
go off any minute.
Hello, is that Whitby?
Yeah, it's Gina, phoning
from Nick Rowan's again.
Listen, we've got a
child missing and
we need every spare men
you've got on the search.
Yeah, in the bomb area.
Yeah, I know.
We're having a bit of a day.
Yeah okay. Alright, ta-ra.
Sandra missed the train
up to the convent,
so I brought her up here.
Hiya.
Go and sit down, Sandra.
You look all in.
Colin?
There's no sign, sarge,
it's all locked up.
Colin!
Mrs. Ellis, are you sure
he didn't have a key?
No. But if he's not
here, where is he?
How about next door?
I'll try the next one.
DOOR BANGS
Colin!
Colin!
(SCREAMS)
Sarge.
We have a corpse,
found in suspicious circumstances.
And we need to start our investigations
while we still have the evidence.
Well, it's a corpse, isn't it?
It's not going anywhere.
It'll keep.
Not if it gets blown
up by your bomb.
The last thing I need are hordes of
CID men marching around the place.
No, the body stays where it is.
Excuse me.
I don't believe this.
Yes, but Sarge,
what he's saying is,
he wants to get the
bomb off my plot first.
Your plot, Ventress?
The least said about your plot,
the better.
HISS
(COUGHING)
Terrific. Urgh!
Two gallons of nitroglycerin,
at least.
Plus about 300lbs of powder.
- What the hell's that smell?
- Ammonia.
Nitroglycerin.
The explosive's decomposed.
Oh, what happens now, then?
Well, you may well ask.
Well, we can't steam it out
because it's heat-sensitive.
We can't exactly explode it
because in the middle of a village.
We've got to get it out
by hand, I suppose.
No dancing for you
tonight, Smithie.
Last one we had like
this took 29 hours.
29 hours?
ALL: One, two, three, four
fizz, six, buzz, eight, nine
fizz.
Eleven, twelve
Can I have a word, Phil?
Alf.
It looks like that bomb
could take 29 hours.
So this lot, they'll have
to stay here the night.
Where is everyone going to sleep?
- What about the toilets, Alf?
- I'm sure that can be organized.
Gina's having a word with
Civil Defence about camp beds.
Blaketon, he wants you
back in the village, now.
GLENN MILLER:
Little Brown Jug
(COUGHS)
MUSIC CONTINUES
Bloomin' heck, Gina,
what a mess, eh?
Sandra, your husband's here.
Would you like to come through?
Come on, Joy.
There's 20 men out
looking for Colin.
They'll find him.
Now, Sandra. When we
were looking for young Colin,
we had to searched your house.
And we found a body.
A man's body.
- Any idea who it might be?
- No.
- You quite sure?
- Yes.
- Where was it?
- On our bed.
And now we can't do anything
until they've dealt with that bomb.
Once they have, you'll be
asked if you can identify it.
Your husband's seen it already.
He was in the house when we found it.
- You were in the house?
- Aye.
I told 'em I didn't know
the man from Adam.
I told 'em I'd never clapped
eyes on him before in my life.
What's going on, Sandra?
You tell me.
- We'll have to find them a generator.
- Generator, sarge?
Lights, Ventress, lights.
Use your loaf. Hang on.
- This generator business
- (COUGHS)
I think we'll leave you to it.
Ventress?
Permission to go back and
take a turn on the bomb?
- It's not up to you, soldier.
- I've done it in training.
Take it easy.
You don't have to prove owt to me, lad.
I do to him, though, don't I?
Just watch yourself, eh?
GLENN MILLER:
Little Brown Jug
- Any luck with Colin?
- No.
And no joy with
the Huttons either.
But according to Rita Sterling,
Sandra's got a lover.
A lover? Well, that's it.
That's the motivation.
What did I tell you, Ventress?
It's a crime passionel.
Well, his car's parked outside
the house. A black Morris Minor.
Not a word about this to anyone.
We'll get a confession out of
Hutton before the CID arrive.
That'll take the smile
off their faces.
GLENN MILLER:
Don't Sit Under The Apple Tree
(COUGHS)
MUSIC CONTINUES
CLICK
Hello?
Colin, you in there?
Colin?
(COUGHING)
(COUGHING)
(WHEEZES AND COUGHS)
What are you trying to do?
Get us blown up?
I thought you could
do with a hand.
You must be mad. Clear off.
I'll be for it if they see you.
Good luck, then.
Ah, it's as good as done anyway.
Colin?
Colin?
Sarge.
MUSIC CONTINUES
Colin?
Colin?
Well, well.
Colin?
What are you up to, Greengrass?
Well, I-I-I was just
on my way home.
I didn't fancy staying
in a nunnery all night.
And what's this then, eh?
(COUGHS AND SPLUTTERS)
And what have we here?
Doing a spot of looting
were we, Greengrass?
Don't talk daft.
Ventress, search his pockets.
"Maddleskirk station had
a break-in last night."
???
"I heard."
"We don't want Aidensfield
to be next on the list."
"It won't be"
"All them thefts are
off on the branch line."
"The one that Mr. Beeching and his
clever dicks are going to shut down."
What are we gonna do?
In the car.
Ventress?
Over here!
- Bellamy!
- Phil, are you all right, lad?
Hang on, lad. You'll be all right.
We'll get you sorted.
I told you they wouldn't
get me, didn't I?
- I told you.
- You silly old fool.
Look at my digger.
It's not insured either.
- Where's Nick?
- He's in there, looking for Colin.
- Colin?
- Nick? Nick!
What is it?
It's Nick. He's in there
when the bomb went off.
Come here, you daft 'aporth.
BARKS
EXCITED BARKING
He's there.
Hold on, Nick.
Colin? Colin, are you in there?
Well, give us a hand.
Here. Here, Colin.
Come here. I've got you.
Well, Constable Rowan,
at least you're in one piece.
It's ruined, Mr. Hutton.
The train set's ruined.
Don't you worry, son. We'll mend it.
The two of us, together.
So what was he doing in the shed?
Well, he heard siren,
thought it was for him and hid.
And couldn't get out because
someone padlocked it.
Poor little lad.
- Anyone hurt?
- That young sapper.
Just heard he died
in the ambulance.
So, who was he, a fancy man?
Come on, Sandra.
You can't make things
worse than they are.
Well, Mr. Hutton.
You may as well tell me what
happened before CID arrive.
- I think I might be more sympathetic.
- I can tell you nowt.
CID? Why the CID?
They think I murdered him.
What? No!
It was his heart.
He had a weak heart.
It's all right, Mrs. Hutton.
He was waiting for an operation.
When the police came
round about the bomb,
he thought that Roy
had found out about us.
And he just collapsed.
The doctor always said
a shock might kill him.
Oh, no.
I knew he was feeling ill and
I just left him there to die.
What am I going to do, Roy?
Oh, yes, that's right.
Bury your head in the sand.
It's just flamin' railways
with you, isn't it?
And your stupid train set!
- Hey, Ventress.
- Go away, Claude.
You know that I told you about,
like the will and that?
(LOUDLY) Your daughter in Redcar.
If it's all right with you,
I'd like you to forget all about it.
My lips are sealed.
Right. Oh, and about
the pay, you know
for the day's work that
me and David did for you.
You know, I'll erm
I'll send you an invoice.
- Thanks, Eileen.
- What for?
Well, everything, really.
Especially today. You were a hero.
KNOCK AT DOOR
Hello, Alf. Come in.
She says it's my fault.
Who does?
Mrs. Ventress.
