01:20Are you hurt?
01:23No. No, I don't think so.
01:26What on earth happened?
01:28Matter of fact, I went into a trance.
01:30A trance?
01:31There's nothing to worry about. I'm always doing it.
01:34Must make driving very awkward.
01:36Oh, it does, it does.
01:38It's a lovely time for people to get in touch, isn't it?
01:41But they can be so selfish, you know.
01:43Can they?
01:46What's wrong?
01:48I'm not sure.
01:50It's either someone from the other side,
01:52or I'm starting a cold.
01:55Strange, I could have sworn.
01:58Where am I?
02:00Motley Hall.
02:05Bodkin!
02:06Bodkin!
02:08What's up?
02:10One of those car things hit a tree.
02:12There was a woman in it, and Godin's bringing her into the house.
02:15Martin St Molio's, are you squeak about nothing?
02:18It ain't nothing. There's something funny about her.
02:20Oh, funny, eh? I could do with a laugh.
02:22She knew I was watching her. She kind of shivered.
02:25Could she see you?
02:27I didn't give her a chance.
02:30When they moved here in 1953,
02:33and it's been empty ever since.
02:35One.
02:37Really, one.
02:39I'm glad that you like it. It's an awful responsibility, of course.
02:42I often wonder if it will ever be sold.
02:45It was built by Sir Richard Uproar in the latter part of the 16th century.
02:49Now, that's General Uproar, one of his descendants.
02:52He died, oh, about 100 years ago.
02:55He's still here.
02:56Still here?
02:57Oh, yes. He is earthbound.
02:59How did she know that?
03:01Would you like to sit down?
03:03What's more, he's not alone.
03:05There are several other wretched spirits.
03:07Who's she calling wretched?
03:09They're being watched at this very moment.
03:11I said she was funny.
03:13Funny, but as funny as a Spanish inquisition.
03:15Very rude for not introducing myself.
03:17I'm Emily Tiffin.
03:19It probably won't mean anything to you, unless you read astral news.
03:23Do you?
03:24No, I'm afraid not.
03:25I didn't think you would. Not many people do.
03:27Here.
03:28It may touch a supernatural chord somewhere.
03:31I'm the editor, you see.
03:33And I'm also, though I say it myself,
03:36one of this country's leading sensitives.
03:39I see.
03:40Now, Mr. Gudgeon, you see the world around you, but do you see beyond?
03:44No, I don't see beyond. I'd rather not.
03:47Oh, what a shame. You look quite psychic.
03:49Coca?
03:50No, thank you. In fact, I'm a bit worried about your car.
03:53Oh, isn't there a local garage that could get it going again?
03:56Well, I suppose Wilkinson's could fix it.
03:58It would depend how much damage there is.
04:00Would you like me to drive you into the village?
04:02Couldn't you go by yourself?
04:03Would she?
04:04They may not be able to mend it immediately.
04:06Never mind. It doesn't matter. I shall be quite at home here.
04:09You don't mind being left alone?
04:11No, but I shan't be.
04:13No, of course not.
04:15No.
04:17Get the others. I think she means trouble.
04:20I'll be as quick as I can.
04:33Where are you, White Feather?
04:37White Feather.
04:44Gloriana. An American.
04:48White Feather answers.
04:51What kept you?
04:53White Feather has journeyed many moons.
04:56Nonsense. You were at the sales at Stevenage last Wednesday.
05:00White Feather's thoughts are as the windblown tumbleweed.
05:04Oh, yes. There's always some excuse, isn't there?
05:07Do you know where we are?
05:09White Feather waits to hear.
05:12A fine spirit guide you've turned out to be.
05:15I have to tell you everything.
05:18Well, this is Motley Hall.
05:20And I've a strong feeling that something brought me here.
05:24Probably that one.
05:28I certainly didn't.
05:31Well, it must have been one of you.
05:35Odds are she can see a lot of us.
05:37Of course I can see you.
05:39I wouldn't be Emily Diffin if I couldn't.
05:41Oh, by the way, this is my spirit guide, White Feather.
05:45What's a spirit guide?
05:47It's one of us who helps people like her
05:50to get in touch with one of us.
05:53How dare you bring that half-naked emanation into Motley Hall?
05:56I'll ask the questions, you painted savage.
05:59He doesn't look very savage to me.
06:01I know these beggars. If we were alive, we'd scout the lot of us, wouldn't you?
06:05How? With your blasted tomahawk, of course.
06:08Do you really think so?
06:09You'd be the first to go.
06:11How? How? How?
06:13That was a confounded parrot.
06:14Something brought me here.
06:16Well, then it can take you away again, can't it?
06:19Were you a lady up for war?
06:21I was not.
06:22Perhaps you're the reason I was led here.
06:25Ah!
06:29Now, look here, madam.
06:30It's awfully kind of you to be so concerned,
06:32and we do appreciate it, don't we?
06:35But the fact is, we'd rather be left alone.
06:38Nothing personal, you understand.
06:40Please.
06:41It's just a little idiosyncrasy of ours.
06:44Not too keen on haunting, actually.
06:47A bit of a bore.
06:49So, if you wouldn't mind...
06:50But you're earthbound!
06:52She makes it sound like a disease.
06:54Of course we're earthbound, and don't take a clairvoyant to see that!
06:57A white feather and I can free your troubled soul.
07:00I can't stand much more of this.
07:01All right. All right.
07:02Look, madam, has it not occurred to you that we might prefer to be earthbound?
07:07Prefer to be earthbound?
07:08Yes.
07:09Well, you prefer it.
07:10You're hiding something, aren't you?
07:11Something you don't want me to know about.
07:13A skeleton in the cupboard.
07:15How dare you!
07:16Which cupboard?
07:17You'll only find peace if you tell me!
07:19We were perfectly peaceful before you arrived!
07:22Oh, no, you weren't.
07:23You're just saying that.
07:24Otherwise, you wouldn't be earthbound!
07:26Oh, if she says that word again, I shall scream again!
07:30Take no notice.
07:32Let's just vanish.
07:33Capital notion.
07:34Strategic withdrawal.
07:35Stand by.
07:37Ah!
07:38Ah!
07:41Naughty!
07:42Not until I say so!
07:45What?
07:46She can stop us from vanishing!
07:48Oh, how humiliating!
07:55Why, psychic powers are too strong for you, aren't they?
08:01My father was dreadful.
08:03Very well, madam.
08:04Since that is your attitude,
08:06we shall go elsewhere.
08:09Yes.
08:10But, Sir George!
08:12I hope, madam,
08:13that when you shuffle off your particular mortal coil,
08:17some ill-mannered medium will make your afterlife
08:22as unbearable as you are making ours!
08:25Well said.
08:26Thank you.
08:27And furthermore, retreat.
08:30But, Sir George, Sir George, come back.
08:32It's no good running away from things.
08:33You have to face up to them, whatever they are.
08:36You wait there.
08:37You can't hide from Emily Tiffin!
08:39I don't know how you put up with her.
08:40She'd be ducked in, might I?
08:41Emily Tiffin, heap, powerful medium.
08:44Is that why we can't vanish?
08:46Spirit world must obey.
08:48Face jokes.
08:49It is so.
08:51Many moons have passed
08:52since White Feather wandered in Happy Hunting Ground.
08:56To what?
08:57Happy Hunting Ground.
09:03Oh, that's where it is.
09:06Aid White Feather.
09:08Help him return to Happy Hunting Ground.
09:11How?
09:12How?
09:14Not how.
09:15How?
09:17Be spirit guide.
09:20Me?
09:21Emily Tiffin?
09:22You must be jesting.
09:25Besides, she can't stop you going if you want to.
09:28She stopped us disappearing.
09:29That's true.
09:30Always she must have spirit guide.
09:33Well, it ain't going to be me.
09:35White Feather will return by sunset.
09:37Oh, God, Bodkin, that's only for about two hours.
09:40You stand in for him.
09:42White Feather will honour Bodkin's name.
09:44It shall be carved on the great totem pole
09:47which stands in the valley of the ever-smiling ones.
09:51Eh?
09:52White Feather will never forget.
09:55All right, then, I'll do it.
09:57White Feather is Bodkin's blood brother.
10:00Be silly, we ain't got any.
10:02Only till sunset, mind.
10:04How?
10:06How?
10:07How?
10:11You must be too near her.
10:13What do you mean?
10:14Well, her powers are too strong.
10:15We can't vanish and neither can he.
10:18Excuse me, can you get outside?
10:23Try down by the gate.
10:24Try down by the gate.
10:25Her powers can't reach that far.
10:29Oh, beg your pardon.
10:32How?
10:33How?
10:34How?
10:36Don't forget, back by sunset.
10:39Let's go.
10:45Happy, aren't they, Gurney?
10:48That's a funny sort of heaven.
10:50You've probably all got one somewhere.
10:52Yeah.
10:53What would yours be, do you think, Bodkin?
10:56The old Globe Theatre on Bankside.
10:59That'd be my happy hunting ground.
11:01Full to the doors and me with a million new jokes
11:05and the whole audience,
11:07merry as mice in malt for the rest of eternity.
11:13Miss Tiffin?
11:15Miss Tiffin?
11:17Misses?
11:18They're hiding.
11:19I can't find them anywhere.
11:21Where's White Feather?
11:22Gone to happy hunting ground.
11:23Mr. Wilkinson has fixed your car.
11:25He can't do that.
11:26He's done it. He'll be back by sunset.
11:28Did he tell you that?
11:29He said the damage was superficial.
11:31And you believed him.
11:33Why shouldn't I?
11:34What exactly did he tell you?
11:35He said you might need a new radiator.
11:37Dreadful liar.
11:39I assure you.
11:40He's tricked both of us.
11:41What?
11:42Really?
11:43He'll never come back.
11:44He's gone forever and put you in his place.
11:47What are you talking about?
11:48Which makes you Emily Tiffin's new spirit guide.
11:52Glorious.
11:54Thank you very much.
12:19Are you sure, Mr. Gudgeon?
12:21You really can't see him at all?
12:23No.
12:24Oh, what a shame.
12:26He's so beautifully clear, aren't you?
12:30Some of them are a little fuzzy, but he's almost lifelike.
12:33I can hardly see through you.
12:35I'm not leaving this house.
12:37Oh, yes, you are.
12:38I have a seance at 9 o'clock and I need you to help.
12:41I haven't left Motley Hall since...
12:43Leave it to me.
12:45I don't want to.
12:47Oh, don't be silly.
12:48It'll do you good.
12:49Shall we go?
12:51Why not?
12:54Oh, my bag.
13:00Halt!
13:01Stand fast, Bodkin.
13:02Relief is at hand.
13:03I thank her!
13:04Oh, no, you don't.
13:05He's coming with me.
13:07And there's nothing any of you can do about it.
13:09Madam!
13:10Come along, Bodkin.
13:11Come back, I don't see you.
13:13Release her!
13:14Bodkin!
13:15I'm not coming.
13:16Why should I?
13:17I don't want to be your little spirit guide.
13:19Oh, Bodkin.
13:20We'll have to report.
13:22Come.
13:23Oh, no, Bodkin.
13:26Get her back!
13:27Hey!
13:28What's happening to me?
13:30Hey, stop it!
13:31Help!
13:32Why are they eating Sir George?
13:33Stop it!
13:34I don't want to go.
13:35Please!
13:37Ah!
13:38Ah!
13:39Ah!
13:40Ah!
13:41Oh!
13:42Oh!
13:43Oh!
13:44Get off!
13:45Get off!
13:50Spirit guide to Mrs. Tiffin.
13:54That's a faint blessing.
13:56But it was quite an incident.
14:02It is a major disaster.
14:06Bodkin had been here in Motley Hall longer than any of us.
14:10With one possible exception, of course.
14:13And it is our duty to get him away from that dreadful woman
14:19by fair means or foul.
14:24And I look to each one of you.
14:30Penny, what are you reading?
14:35Astral News.
14:36Astral News.
14:37Which side are you on?
14:38Well, the other side, according to this.
14:40That rag is edited by the enemy.
14:43Oh, it's Bud, is it?
14:45What enemy?
14:46Emily Tiffin.
14:47Oh.
14:48Oh, sorry.
14:49It was just interesting.
14:51I had no idea there was such a lot of us about.
14:56Put it away!
14:59I think we ought to read it.
15:04Fella here got a poltergeist in his lavatory.
15:07Can't you get rid of it?
15:09No.
15:11Keeps pulling the chain.
15:13Who? Fellow or the poltergeist?
15:16It's a very boring article here on Ouija boards.
15:20Spirit writing and how to read it.
15:23Is my mother a werewolf?
15:26No idea.
15:28Telepathy today.
15:32Oh, there's even a photo of Emily Tiffin here.
15:36Our editor in pensive mood at the Tower of London.
15:40Excuse me.
15:41Pensive? She looks bad-tempered to me.
15:44I can't bear to look at her.
15:49Mrs Tiffin failed to contact Anne Boleyn
15:53because of the traffic nearby.
15:56My psychic powers are very much weakened by noise, she said.
16:01And no matter how...
16:02Weakened by noise?
16:05That's it.
16:06What is?
16:07The way we can beat her.
16:10Bye, George.
16:12Know your enemy.
16:14I don't follow.
16:16Noise.
16:17There's only one tiny problem.
16:19What?
16:20We can't go to her.
16:22No.
16:23She must come to us.
16:25Us?
16:26With Bodkin.
16:27Poor old Bodys.
16:28How are we going to get her here?
16:30Hmm.
16:32Got it.
16:46Oh, do stop primping and preening.
16:48It don't matter what you look like.
16:50Appearances are very important.
16:52This wise.
16:54Here you go.
17:01Go on.
17:03Whoa.
17:05What are you doing?
17:07Getting in the mood.
17:08If you frighten him to death, we'll have him here permanently.
17:11Got no sense of occasion, no style.
17:14It is I.
17:15Me.
17:16I.
17:17Depart in peace.
17:19That's not very nice.
17:20It's deuced unfriendly.
17:22Can you hear me, Gudgeon?
17:24Depart in peace.
17:26Yes, later.
17:28Mark well my words.
17:30You are at half making a meal of it.
17:32Oh, please.
17:34Mark well my words.
17:36Find Emily Tiffin.
17:39Tell her she must come again.
17:42To Motley.
17:45Why?
17:46Tell her.
17:48Well, I don't know how to get in touch with her.
17:51Right.
17:52Care of astral news.
17:55Hello?
18:21Hello?
18:23Hello, I'm here.
18:25It's Emily Tiffin.
18:27Don't you remember?
18:28You asked to see me.
18:29Yes, we did.
18:32Well, then, what's it all about?
18:34We've decided to tell you everything.
18:38Oh, Sir George, you won't regret it, I promise you.
18:42I'm glad.
18:43Your awful secret's quite safe with me.
18:46Good.
18:47Wait for my signal.
18:49We're coming down.
18:50I knew you were going to be cooperative
18:52The moment Gudgeon wrote to me, I told him he was psychic.
18:56It'll be just between us.
18:58How's Bodkin?
19:00I didn't come all this way to chat about Bodkin.
19:03Oh, right, right.
19:05We just thought it would be, well, nice to see him again, that's all.
19:09Why?
19:10Well, he is the reason that we are still here.
19:14Bodkin is?
19:15Yes, didn't you know?
19:17No, I didn't.
19:18If it hadn't have been for Bodkin, we would have passed on years ago, wouldn't we?
19:21Yes.
19:22I don't believe it.
19:23You've got some silly idea of getting him away from me, haven't you?
19:27What?
19:28Well...
19:33We've seen how strong your powers are.
19:37Yes, you have, haven't you?
19:39Very well, I'll summon him.
19:42Very quiet, please.
19:45Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh!
19:47Bodkin?
19:49Where are you?
19:59Oh, Rihanna!
20:01I've been motley!
20:03My dear Bodkin!
20:05George! Fanny!
20:07You haven't let me go, have you?
20:09Certainly not!
20:15How are we getting on?
20:18Medium.
20:20Where's the White Lady?
20:22She's...
20:23Wait!
20:24She sends her apologies.
20:26I really think you should be here.
20:28Why? What's going on?
20:30We've decided to tell Emily our awful secret.
20:39What awful secret?
20:41The one about the cupboard.
20:43What cupboard?
20:45The one with the skeleton in it.
20:48Oh, yes!
20:50Why, that's very good!
20:52Who's going to start?
20:54I don't...
20:58I will.
21:00By the way, is it quiet enough for you?
21:04Yes, lovely, thank you. Why do you ask?
21:07Well, we know how important it is.
21:10Anne Boleyn and all that.
21:12Anne Boleyn?
21:13Yes, and the traffic.
21:15Traffic?
21:16Yes.
21:18And our noise weakens your psychic powers!
21:23Oh, God!
21:41Bodkin stays with us!
21:44Well, Bodkin belongs to me!
21:47Oh, he does!
21:48Oh, yes, he does!
21:49Oh, no, I don't!
21:51Bodkin, come here!
21:55Sir George!
21:56My lady!
21:58trombone solo
22:15Aha!
22:17Bodkin!
22:23trombone solo
22:28trombone solo
22:40Did you give in?
22:41Never.
22:42I'm nothing more than a psychic shuttlecock.
22:45Bodkin.
22:47Bodkin.
22:49Oh, Floriana, here we go again.
22:52Closer and now the applause!
22:54trombone solo
22:59trombone solo
23:10Now, be reasonable, Emily.
23:13This is chiffon to you.
23:15Let Bodkin stay with us.
23:17You can always get hold of another red Indian if you put your mind to it.
23:22Her guides are getting quite hard to come by.
23:25Besides, I want Bodkin.
23:28I can't think what she sees in me.
23:31Come here.
23:44How?
23:45How?
23:46White feather has returned.
23:48See, it is not yet sunset.
23:50Not yet sunset?
23:52Not yet sun...
