Transcript
00:00As a child, I felt the world was like my mother's stories, where the line between right and wrong
00:13was always straight and clear. Morning Queenie. Morning Emma. Morning. Morning. My heroines had
00:22happy ever afters. Morning Mr Paxton. Good morning Emma. And heroes never did have feet of clay.
00:32Morning Susan. Morning. Right then little man off to school. Come on lovely.
00:52Good morning Susan. Good morning.
01:22Good morning Susan.
01:34Good morning Susan.
01:40Good morning Susan.
01:44Hi, Sam.
02:10Hi, Sam.
02:14I thought you might be in town this morning.
02:17Why? Did you miss me at the woods this morning?
02:20I wouldn't say I missed you.
02:22I just noticed you weren't there.
02:24So, about Sunday?
02:26Oh, I don't know, Philip.
02:28I promised Mara I'd go back to Lark-Royce.
02:30It's fine.
02:34Lark-Royce it is, then.
02:36What?!
02:38Look out!
02:40Look!
02:46Thank you, Sam.
02:48Laura, I believe Zilla has been baking some of her fruitcakes this morning.
02:52Perhaps your saviour might.
02:54Yes, Sam, you must.
02:56No, I...
02:57Sam, I insist.
02:58Zilla's fruitcakes are heroic in themselves.
03:10And not an inch off that paper, mind!
03:13I don't know what Miss Lane is thinking about.
03:17Cold dust everywhere.
03:19The chimney sweep comes in.
03:21Sweeps is lucky.
03:23Well, Sam was lucky for me.
03:25Veritable Samson.
03:26And what are you looking so pleased about?
03:28You been delivering to Miss Alison this morning, have you?
03:32Something wrong with my fruitcake?
03:35No.
03:36Thought I'd give it the little ones.
03:39Didn't say much, do we?
03:41Actions speak louder, Zilla.
03:45Buy their fruits, shall ye know them?
03:48Isn't that right, Sam?
03:50There.
04:06Susan?
04:09Morning, Robert.
04:10Alf.
04:11Susan.
04:20Quite remarkable, really, these drawings of Matthews.
04:25Yes.
04:26Such detail.
04:37I was not wanting to put myself out of business, Timothy.
04:40I didn't realise there was a problem with the old gates.
04:45Unfashionable.
04:47Apparently.
04:48And unimposing.
04:51Oh, I see.
04:53Yes, we've been attacking the manor refurbishments with some gusto since, um...
04:58Well, since Polly.
04:59Of course.
05:01I'll be popping in from time to time to monitor the work in progress.
05:06If that's all right with you.
05:08You are always welcome, Timothy.
05:11I must say I've rather missed our work.
05:14Good day.
05:15What can I do to help you?
05:21Susan!
05:22You're never a guesswork.
05:26Oh.
05:28Did you?
05:29Laura.
05:32Are you chopping firewood?
05:33Any stamp, is it?
05:34No, thank you, Laura.
05:35I don't want no stamps.
05:36I may have been chopping firewood either.
05:37I've come looking for the justice.
05:38I want a summons, sir.
05:39For him that done it.
05:40Can you name your attacker?
05:41Yes, sir, I can.
05:42My husband.
05:44Mrs. Gravy.
05:45Mrs. Gravy, are you quite sure about this?
05:46You don't feel there's a less intrusive, less public way to proceed?
05:47Mrs. Gravy, are you quite sure about this?
05:48You don't feel there's a less intrusive, less public way to proceed?
05:49What way would that be, sir?
05:50Mrs. Gravy, are you quite sure about this?
05:51You don't feel there's a less intrusive, less public way to proceed?
05:55What way would that be, sir?
05:56Very well.
06:00Mrs. Gravy, are you quite sure about this?
06:01You don't feel there's a less intrusive, less public way to proceed?
06:08Mr. Gravy, are you quite sure about this?
06:09You don't feel there's a less intrusive, less public way to proceed?
06:15What way would that be, sir?
06:18Very well.
06:21You really are a bunch of flumperies.
06:24Oh, Mr. Timothy, sir. Ah, sir.
06:30An arrest is required, Paterson.
06:33Serious crime, is it, sir?
06:36Yes, it's a case of wife beating in Larkrise.
06:39Larkrise, sir? I didn't know it was against the law there, sir.
06:42Dammit, man. Look at her.
06:48I'd best get my notebook in, didn't I, sir?
06:54I saw Susan Braby.
07:02Never thought that a big sign, would you? Not a woman.
07:10I mean, a boy's an idiot when he's had a drink.
07:13Never knows when he's had enough, but that...
07:16makes me sick to my stomach.
07:19I ain't never even seen them arguing.
07:21It just shows if it can happen in that marriage, it can happen anywhere.
07:26Not anywhere.
07:30You know what I mean.
07:32Please, Susan, don't.
07:47Don't what?
07:49Be normal.
07:51This ain't normal.
07:53I ain't likely to forget that, am I?
08:04Susan.
08:07You know, I...
08:11I don't know what came over me.
08:13Half the seller of the wagon and horses came over you, Sam.
08:16I'm sorry.
08:18It'll never happen again.
08:19You promised it'll never happen once.
08:21I'm sorry.
08:24I love you, Susan.
08:28Just words, Sam.
08:30That ain't gonna fix it.
08:40Not this.
08:42Give me a chance.
08:44To go to the justice.
08:46That ain't the way you wanna...
08:47I told you what'd happen if you ever lifted a hand to me.
08:49You knew it when you married me.
08:53I've seen what happens once it starts.
08:58And I keep my promises.
09:19I just wanted to know why you're being so cagey.
09:28Cagey?
09:31I ain't being cagey.
09:32Well, because of the way I see her.
09:36Either there's something wrong with me or...
09:39Or you've got another fellow waiting for you back in your eyes.
09:44I don't feel it.
09:45There ain't nothing like that.
09:46I just don't think my par thinks that I'm old enough to be walking out with a young man.
09:53You're sixteen.
09:55Here, young lady.
09:57I don't think par has quite got the grasp of that yet.
10:00Well, it's about time he did.
10:02Lara, you've got to tell him.
10:05Is it a lot right you're ashamed of?
10:06Never.
10:10I'll tell you what, Philip.
10:11Candreford might have fine things.
10:14But you'll never meet more labourly, kinder people than the folk of Larkrise.
10:26Such a little slip of it.
10:29All right, sir?
10:30Night off, I'll do him any harm.
10:36Night off, I'll do him any harm.
10:37Yeah.
10:38Right now.
10:39You're not a bad son.
10:40You're not a bad son.
10:42There you go, Danny.
10:43And you're not a bad son at me.
10:45New Yorkshire, come on.
10:47I'm off, come on.
10:49I'm taking a bite.
10:50I'm now.
10:51Cabbage Paterson.
10:52There you are, Dan, do you want one?
11:04Cabbage Patterson!
11:09A long way for a half pint, constable?
11:14Sam Braby.
11:17Where do I find him?
11:22Wow.
11:24Pileurus, is he?
11:26I'm investigating a complaint.
11:29By his wife.
11:32His wife?
11:38La, right.
11:45I ain't done nothing. I ain't done nothing.
11:48Have you seen Sam Braby?
11:53Sermy!
11:55Oh, yes! I've just seen him up at the end house.
12:01Thank you, sir.
12:05Much obliged.
12:06Just...
12:20Sorry.
12:22Not much of a man, are you, Robert?
12:25Crying like a baby.
12:27I think that's made me think less of you, Sam.
12:32No.
12:36What happened, Sam?
12:40I don't know exactly.
12:42Too much drink.
12:45A lot too much.
12:48And Susan didn't like it.
12:51Said my wages is putting shoes on Paxton's Littland's feet and serve my own.
12:57Don't seem like such a bad thing she said now, do it?
13:03See my Susan, she's so...
13:07Right.
13:09She's always so right and always with the right words and...
13:13To see your face and know I've done that.
13:28What would you give to wake up and it were yesterday again?
13:32Has that happened before, Sam?
13:33Never.
13:35And it never will again either.
13:37I promise you on anything you like.
13:39Very nice, they need your promises, Sam.
13:44I'm not saying you didn't do wrong, Sam, because you did.
13:50But if you want me to tell her that...
13:57It's too late.
13:59Order, Ola!
14:01Order!
14:03Order!
14:05Order!
14:06Order!
14:10Order!
14:18All way!
14:20He should be tall away!
14:22All way!
14:24Go away!
14:26Do it all way!
14:27Take it away!
14:28Take it away!
14:29We'll handle it!
14:30Get away!
14:31Give me what for avoiding that!
14:33Well, he did!
14:34It was great!
14:43Run, Sam!
14:44Run!
14:45All way!
14:47We'll do it!
14:49We'll handle it!
14:50We'll handle it!
14:51Run, Sam!
14:52Run!
14:53Never mind us!
14:54Run, Sam!
14:55No, no, thanks.
15:25I knew she'd be awake.
15:41I'm going to talk some sense into her.
15:43It's the middle of the night.
15:45She won't thank you for meddling in her private business.
15:49Like that ever stopped you, Robert Timmons.
15:53Sammy came to us.
15:55No, he didn't.
15:57He was just skulking in our garden because he wasn't man enough to go home.
16:00Anyway, if you take your business to Cabbage Patterson,
16:06it ain't private anymore.
16:09I know you mean well, but you don't know what you're talking about.
16:13I know about money coming in, and I know what it's like when it stops.
16:17And if Sammy goes to prison, yours stops dead.
16:20We'll manage.
16:21You've got two children to feed.
16:23I know how many children I got.
16:24I only meant...
16:26Why do you think I ain't been thinking about my children?
16:31What if next time Sammy gets drunk, it's one of them that says the wrong thing?
16:34He's supposed to be their big, gentle par.
16:40He's the one that's supposed to make us feel safe.
16:46I ain't saying he gets away with it.
16:48I'm just saying, isn't there another way?
16:53Is your rubber ever at you?
16:58No.
16:59Sam used to make me feel protected.
17:10Used to feel like together me and him were strong enough to take on the world.
17:15Now...
17:15Now I'll find my own strength.
17:21Timothy, what were your feelings on the consummate?
17:41I think I may have to have a word with Cook.
17:44Really?
17:45I thought it was rather good.
17:47Obviously not such a refined palate.
17:52It's probably me.
17:56After all, I haven't been out all day working up an appetite.
17:59I shall look at the fabrics tomorrow, I promise.
18:06Well, if there isn't another crisis at the post office.
18:09It had nothing to do with post office, Adelaide.
18:12The poor woman simply came there to find me.
18:14And of course she did.
18:19She had been beaten by her husband.
18:20You can hardly expect me to brush off such brutality in favour of curtains.
18:28Where are you going?
18:30To bed.
18:33Tell Cook I want to see her in the morning.
18:36Her consummate has left me feeling quite unwell.
18:40Adelaide?
18:45You sit in this man's judgement very easily, Timothy.
18:50May I remind you there are many ways in which a man may ill-treat his wife.
18:59And there's no field work for women with young children.
19:04But she's neat and clean and can sew like a dream.
19:09So I was wondering about piece work.
19:13I was sort of thinking of the ladies at the stores.
19:19Now might not be the best time for me to ask a favour of the Miss Prats.
19:22Maybe not.
19:24But I'll see what I can do.
19:26Thank you, Dorcas.
19:28The whole Hamlet's talking of nothing else.
19:31Split right down the middle about what she's done.
19:33It's Thomas' post bag.
19:36Oh, the man is so distracted at the moment.
19:41I hope he hasn't forgotten in your name.
19:48Excuse me, Emma.
19:49Zilla, when Thomas gets back from his round,
19:53please tell him I want to see him immediately.
19:59You could at least try it.
20:01Sam knew what would happen if he ever hit me.
20:03Yes, and you've done it.
20:04You've given your word.
20:06Give him the chance to make a promise.
20:09Temperance pledge.
20:11You know it wouldn't have happened if he hadn't been drinking.
20:13But he's crossed a line now.
20:15It'll be easier next time.
20:17If I back down now, he'll just think he can do it again.
20:21This isn't backing down, Susan.
20:23This is fixing it.
20:25Isn't that what you're trying to do?
20:29I'll mind your little ones.
20:38Let me see that thing again.
20:45It did wrong.
20:46He broke the law and he should pay the price.
20:49I didn't write the way that stuff gets hidden away.
20:52Speaking out was the only way.
20:56Do you think so?
20:58Absolutely.
21:00Nothing good ever came from hiding things.
21:03You remember that.
21:04So, you think people should always speak out,
21:14even when you think they might not like what you have to say?
21:18Especially then.
21:20Right.
21:21I'd like Philip to come for tea on Sunday.
21:31Who the hell is Philip?
21:38You wanted to see me, Miss Lane?
21:41Yes.
21:42Thomas, I suspected you might be behind these.
21:45I have indeed recently taken the pledge to eschew strong drink man.
21:55I see no harm in communicating the benefits of temperance to others.
22:00That is your prerogative, Thomas, so long as you use appropriate means.
22:06Your delivery is for the Royal Mail only.
22:10Do you realise the trouble we could be in if it were construed that we were passing these off as the views of the post office?
22:15I'm very sorry, Miss Lane.
22:18It was on my own time, believe me.
22:20I just borrowed the bag.
22:22May I suggest you find another?
22:24Yes, Miss Lane.
22:27As it turns out, your efforts may have been fruitful.
22:32I believe you may have a convert to the cause.
22:34Why, Miss Lane, that is splendid.
22:37You won't regret it, I promise.
22:39Oh, I wasn't referring to myself, Thomas.
22:41In fact, this conversation has rather put me in the mood for a sweet cherry.
22:57I need to know you mean it, Sam, when you promise it'll never happen again.
23:01I mean it.
23:02I'll do anything.
23:11I, I can't rightly, er, I can't, you know, my reading ain't up too much.
23:22It's temperance.
23:25Temperance?
23:27You sign that pledge.
23:30You walk out with me now and we'll never say another word about it.
23:33I ain't gonna get drunk again, Susan.
23:43Not ever.
23:49But a working man's pint at the end of the day.
23:56Susan.
23:57You had your chance.
23:59To be frank, sir, I mean, you don't seem too keen on the sound of her voice now, neither.
24:13I had hoped they'd come to some private resolution.
24:16Why, it don't seem that way, sir.
24:18And, to, er, contender to be frank, sir, he can't stay where he is.
24:23Until the assizes, I, I, I, I need the cell.
24:26What for?
24:29Criminal, sir.
24:30And what if a heinous crime is committed, sir?
24:33Well, we've the holding cell in the courthouse.
24:35Or if there's two of them, sir.
24:37In it together, sir.
24:39Patterson, everyone knows you use the cell for your seat, Trez.
24:42It's the principal, sir.
24:45Feeding him, you know, keeping him.
24:47Sort it out.
24:50Interferes with my police work.
24:53Very well, I'll bring him forward to this one.
24:55Character witnesses?
25:00There's a, er, a coal merchant and a blacksmith, sir.
25:04You know, you'll be wanting to get a move on with them, sir, if you want to call them in.
25:10I'll just let you get on with the paperwork, sir.
25:12I mean, do you know anything about this Philip?
25:22She mentioned him to you?
25:23Once or twice.
25:25He's a young gamekeeper, isn't he?
25:27Hmm.
25:28I've seen him around.
25:30A bit full of himself.
25:32Strutting about with his gun.
25:35Why didn't she tell me?
25:38Well, maybe she thought you might start acting a bit silly.
25:46I just come to get him.
25:48Of course.
25:49Sam?
25:51Candle, Fred.
25:52It's all right.
25:56At least now I know where I am.
25:59Where we are.
26:01Come on, Toby.
26:03I'm sorry, Susan.
26:04Yes.
26:08I'm so sure it would work.
26:11Oh, Sam.
26:15Stop it.
26:16I know what you're thinking.
26:18It's a stupid idea and I should have left her alone.
26:22It's not what I was thinking.
26:23No.
26:24What I was thinking was...
26:27My God.
26:29This must be what it's like being married to me.
26:40Timothy, the swatches and colours are all laid out, so...
26:44Adelaide, please.
26:45Please.
26:51My darling, you're the expert in these matters, so why don't you take charge of these decisions yourself?
26:58Oh.
26:59That's what you want?
27:02Yes, it would be a great help.

29:50well if I was spending 20 pounds do you think I could have a chair

30:22but I think people don't respect the world will be in front of me I am sure I'm sure that

35:46meant to put it back she'd just given me a chance
35:50she did give you a chance

36:47to
36:51to
36:53to
36:57to
36:58to
36:59Adelaide, this is completely unacceptable.
37:05How dare you go behind my back?
37:07I seem to recall you asking me to take all decisions on the renovations.
37:11I did not ask you to humiliate a fine craftsman like Matthew and embarrass me.
37:16Embarrass you in front of whom, exactly?
37:19In front of Candleford.
37:20My family has a duty towards the tradesmen of this parish, which means you do too.
37:33Well, I paid him.
37:35It was only £20.
37:37That's not what I mean, and you know it!
37:39For goodness sake, Timothy, you wouldn't expect me to attend the Hunt Ball,
37:42wearing one of the creations of the Mrs. Pratt!
37:45So, why should I have the entrance to my park, designed by a provincial tradesman?
37:50Or is your much-vaunted loyalty to the tradesfolk of Candleford
37:57a little more applicable in some quarters than in others?
38:01I have no idea what you're talking about.
38:05Oh, Timothy, I think you do.
38:20I'm afraid the likes of Miss Lane and Matthew have an advantage over me, Timothy.
38:35They were brought up to a trade and are practising it.
38:38I was brought up to do two things.
38:43To bear children and to keep a fine home.
38:51Now, it appears that one of those is to be denied to me.
38:55Are you really to deny me the other?
38:58Matthew's work is as good as anyone's.
39:00The commission will be reinstated.
39:03You spent your life thinking of new ways to make a fool of me!
39:06There is no need.
39:10You seem to be perfectly capable of doing that for yourself.
39:13No!
39:19Get out of my way!
39:20Fingers out!
39:31Now, remember Laura's feelings.
39:34Nice small talk.
39:36If he says something that annoys you, just let it go.
39:41Polite at all times.
39:43And no politics.
39:45What's wrong with politics?
39:46Get het up.
39:47It'll embarrass you.
39:48What?
39:49What?
39:50What have I ever embarrassed?
39:52Shirt!
39:54Ma.
39:56Pa.
40:00This is Philip.
40:02Nice to meet you.
40:09That's a good start, Philip.
40:10That's a good start.
40:36I'm sorry.
40:37I'm sorry.
40:39Oh, no!
40:54Dorcas?
40:56Oh!
40:58Timothy. Sorry.
41:01Has Adelaide been here?
41:03Not since yesterday.
41:06No, it's a stupid thought.
41:08Has something happened?
41:11Um...
41:13Well, we had the most awful argument. She walked out hours ago.
41:17I should have stopped, but, um...
41:20You see, she's not a countrywoman. She doesn't know the places to avoid.
41:23What are you doing?
41:24Come. Two horses will cover double the ground.
41:36You all right there?
41:41Oh!
41:42Ow!
41:43Them brutes is a devil.
41:45Right enough.
41:46Oh.
41:47Oh.
41:48My.
41:49you're all right there
41:58them brutes is a devil
42:02right enough
42:03oh my
42:19I seem to be a little lost
42:29don't suppose you could
42:33of course
42:34just get them brambles off you
42:39don't come too close
42:40I mean
42:42I'm a little unwell
42:45I would hate for you to catch it
42:49well there isn't much likelihood of that
42:56ladyship
42:56my days of catching what you've got
43:00have long gone
43:19that's a fine brace of pheasant
43:24Philip
43:24didn't poach it did you
43:27absolutely not
43:30no
43:30no in my position
43:32oh
43:38sir timothy
43:42lets philip take one or two out for the pot
43:45well that was very kind of you to share one with us philip
43:49they're very nice flowers mrs timmins
43:55see lady adelaide lights flowers at her table
43:58you know one formal dinner she
44:01sure did in over 300 yellow roses
44:04my that must have been beautiful
44:06likely could have fed a lark rice family for a month on what they cost
44:10Laura said you're a man of liberal views mr timmins
44:22that's right philip pronounced liberal views
44:25i don't see how a thinking working man could hold any different
44:29what about yourself
44:33well i reckon when the time comes for me to vote
44:37it'd be wise for a man in my position to go along with his employer
44:41so i'll likely go tori
44:43thanks for timothy
44:45well i can soon talk about that ludicrous notion
44:51another time
44:59more tea
45:15so
45:29so
45:37so
45:42Can you read it?
45:46No.
45:48I wasn't sure.
45:54It was hard to tell when you were past joking.
45:56I didn't think so.
45:58Hello, Laura dear.
46:08Is that your young man?
46:10I...
46:14Oh, little Laura.
46:16Run along.
46:18Run along and be happy.
46:20Be as happy as I am.
46:26Lady Adelaide?
46:28This is impertinent of me.
46:30I know.
46:36I wanted to ask.
46:38Wouldn't you please change your mind about the gates?
46:42The gates?
46:50Would it make you happy?
46:52Yes.
46:56Safe and sound.
46:58A little muddy, perhaps, but that would be fine.
47:00Insisting we called the doctor, of course.
47:02So sense of dramatics intact.
47:04I'm glad she's all right.
47:06I'm glad she's all right.
47:08Yes, yes.
47:12And, um...
47:14I'm sorry that you and Matthew are caught up in this, um...
47:16Well, I...
47:26Timothy...
47:28Do you think we...
47:34Do you think Adelaide, perhaps, has a right to feel neglected?
47:38I have tried to treat Adelaide honorably.
47:56I have...
47:58cared for her.
48:00And I have given everything of myself that I possibly can, but...
48:10I can do nothing.
48:11Believe me, I've tried.
48:21Talk us out.
48:23I...
48:24Miss Lane!
48:25Miss Lane!
48:27She's changed her mind.
48:28Lady Adelaide.
48:29The gates.
48:30She wants Matthew to do them after all.
48:32What?
48:33When did you see her?
48:34Just now, in the park.
48:37Laura, I believe a career in the diplomatic corps awaits you.
48:41Well, it wasn't me.
48:43I think she's just so happy about the baby.
48:52She did say it was all right for me to tell.
48:56Yes.
48:57Yes, of course.
48:58I...
49:01I was just telling Miss Lane for good news.
49:05Yes.
49:07That's wonderful news all round.
49:10I must tell Matthew.
49:16Well, yeah, I, um...
49:22We heard that.
49:23I'm we heard that.
49:24I heard that.
49:25No, no, no, no.
49:26Okay.
49:27I'll do it right now.
49:28I'll do it.
49:29I'll do it right now, Steve.
49:31There you go.
49:32Good day, sir.
49:33Yeah, good day, sir.
49:34Yeah.
49:36Good day, sir.
49:37Yeah.
49:52Paul!
50:07Never again.
50:09Not Drake.
50:15It's over.
50:22Looking back on that summer now,
50:25it seems that the layers of the world shifted.
50:30Lines blurred and barriers seem to slip.
50:37Those between right and wrong.
50:41Those between public and private.
50:43And even just for a moment,
50:54those between the social classes.
50:56Before they settled back into place.
51:07Before they settled back into place.
51:11before they settle back into place.
