00:00🎵
00:27Can't we start without him? He ought to be here.
00:29Lazy young tyke's forgotten all about it, hasn't he?
00:32We've waited long enough, Sir George.
00:34He ain't coming.
00:46Minutes of the last meeting held at Motley Hall on July the, er...
00:51er, 1970...
00:54at ten past four.
00:56The presence of the banshee in the chimney is discussed, but no decision...
01:05What do you want?
01:07Dunno. I come over all funny.
01:09That would be a change.
01:11There must be a storm somewhere.
01:26🎵
01:32Of course, in my day, we would have got the parcel.
01:35What for?
01:36Well, you know, the bell, the book and the candle.
01:38Exorcism ain't the answer. Far too risky.
01:42Exorcism?
01:43Yes, the driving out of spirits.
01:45Oh, you mean if we tried it on the banshee, we might go too?
01:48Precisely.
01:56🎵
02:10Stay, you rabbit-faced rogue!
02:13Deliver!
02:14Deliver?
02:15My lucky bell, the one I clipped off that poxy parson near Dover.
02:19Clipped?
02:20Clipped! Filched! Took!
02:23Don't you understand English, you wave-faced acrobat?
02:26He did very well with it, I'll tell you.
02:29Used to ring it to drive ghosts away, providing he was paid, of course.
02:33Well, seeing as my trade brought me close to crossroads and churchyards and the like,
02:38mostly at dead of night,
02:39I snaffled that vagrant vicar's holy ding-dong,
02:42and I'll give it some of that,
02:44as soon as I felt me flesh creep.
02:46Course, I never realised I'd be a ghost meself for four months longer.
02:50Here, don't you exercise me, mate!
02:53Hand it over!
02:58You treacherous hypocrite!
03:01I'll cut your evil little ears off!
03:03Well, we've never had any difficulty scaring people away.
03:06No, but shifting spirits is a different matter, though, innit?
03:21It's got you!
03:23Ah, right.
03:36He looked worried, didn't he?
03:38He always does.
03:41And where the glory on have you been?
03:44Well, you haven't been here.
03:46I thought it was Thursday.
03:49It is Thursday.
03:51Ah.
03:59I propose that Francis be sent to Coventry
04:02for his utter failure to act in a responsible manner.
04:06Certainly, my lord.
04:08I propose that Francis be sent to Coventry
04:11for his utter failure to act in a responsible manner.
04:14Seconded.
04:16Those in favour?
04:18Francis!
04:20You all please stand.
04:22Francis, you are now officially sent to Coventry.
04:25Oh!
04:27Which means we shan't speak to you.
04:29Or have anything to do with you.
04:31For a period of not less than two weeks.
04:35The devil take a lot of you then, huh?
04:40Ghastly business.
04:42Now, where were we?
04:53Glory on!
04:55I mean...
05:02Where are we?
05:06We're dreaming.
05:08No, you ain't.
05:10You're out of motley.
05:36How green everything is.
05:39We are prisoners no longer.
05:43Stand down!
05:48Deliver!
05:52Where exactly are we?
05:54Just wondering.
05:55Don't you know?
05:57But you said you knew every inch of the grounds.
05:59Aye, so I do.
06:01This ain't the grounds.
06:02Oh, we can't be anywhere.
06:05Pull yourself together, madam.
06:08If only I had a compass.
06:10I'd settle for a signpost.
06:12Signpost, that's it.
06:13We must find one.
06:14Right.
06:15Forward.
06:21As you were.
06:25Forward.
06:26Forward.
06:31A ghost stepped up to his bedside
06:33And said, Behold Miss Bailey
06:36Oh, Miss Bailey
06:38What?
06:39Oh, Miss Bailey
06:41What's that?
06:42Oh, unfortunate Miss Bailey
06:46Oh, Miss Bailey
06:48It's funny.
06:49Oh, Miss Bailey
06:51Oh...
06:53Odd!
06:54Bud!
06:55We thought you still stuck in Motley.
06:57I thought you were.
07:03What about me being sent to Canterbury?
07:06Coventry.
07:07Oh, Coventry then, eh, Sir George?
07:10Aye.
07:11Well, as long as you're sorry.
07:14Sorry?
07:15That's all right, then.
07:16We'll say no more about it.
07:17What?
07:22Why are we going this way?
07:24You'd better ask Sir George.
07:26Are we going back to Motley's?
07:28We're looking for a signpost.
07:30Oh, which signpost?
07:31Any signpost.
07:32Oh, yes.
07:34Oh, we'll be coming to one in a minute.
07:36I just passed it.
07:39What?
07:43What did it say?
07:46Motley Hall, two miles.
07:48Which way?
07:51That way.
07:54Forward!
08:07Forward!
08:09All out.
08:12Right.
08:13Ten past four.
08:15We'll rest five minutes.
08:18Oh, it's not far now.
08:20This is Motley Gibbett.
08:22Motley Gibbett.
08:24Used to hang highwaymen here, eh?
08:26Blaggards and founded blaggards.
08:29One of them was a friend of mine
08:31who's juiced good company, Narcissus.
08:34Who?
08:35Narcissus.
08:36Captain Narcissus Brooke.
08:40Ronnie!
08:44No!
08:46Nasty!
08:56You a phantom?
08:58Boy, scratch it suits you.
09:01You ain't changed a jot, nasty.
09:03Not since I got topped.
09:05Topped?
09:07Who's this flapdoodle?
09:08What?
09:09That's me great-great-grandson.
09:11Since I got hanged.
09:13You never came to that, why not?
09:15I could have got you a ticket, easy.
09:17Capacity crowd.
09:18Mind you, all big names.
09:20Me, of course.
09:21Neddy Wicks.
09:22Jack Spigot.
09:23And hot posse Harry!
09:25It was a cold.
09:26Nick the Angler's watch.
09:28Wager you didn't die in bed, either.
09:30No, it was a duel.
09:32Never kept his guard high enough, this one.
09:34Remember that brawling whopping?
09:36Drunk as a lord.
09:37No, you was a lord.
09:38No, I was a knight.
09:40Yeah, and what a knight!
09:41Hey!
09:43We was roaring boys then, roaring boys.
09:46Oh, giblets that we were.
09:49Here, who's your doxy?
09:51What?
09:52How dare you?
09:54Come along, Francis.
09:56Quiet.
10:05Inside Motley, are you?
10:06Yes, and there ain't no room for anyone else.
10:08Well, I was only asking, weren't I?
10:10Good day, Mr. Bullock.
10:13Nasty!
10:14You call me nasty?
10:15Here, you haven't seen my horse, have you?
10:17A spring-tailed dun stallion with a walleye.
10:21Awfully sorry.
10:24Only, he bolted when the first of them mechanical carts come by.
10:28Well, it wasn't the cart that scared him so much as a coving front with a red flag.
10:33They got a lot faster, them carts, didn't they?
10:36We really must be going.
10:38Yeah, mustn't hold you up.
10:40Hey, that's a laugh.
10:42Here, hold you up.
10:43Yes?
10:44No.
10:47Call again, Fanny.
10:48I'm always hanging round up here.
11:02Gadget has left the door open.
11:04Perhaps he's still here.
11:05That'll be it.
11:08After you, white lady.
11:10Thank you very much.
11:17I can't get in.
11:18Darn it. Stand aside.
11:31Let me.
11:34Excuse me.
11:39Thank you.
11:44We can't get in.
11:46Whatever drove us up, it's keeping us out.
12:08Try again.
12:10Gadget!
12:14Goes right through you, doesn't he?
12:16You can't hear that in a cold stone dip.
12:18Or else he ain't in there.
12:20Of course he's in there.
12:21Must be.
12:22He'd hardly go off and leave the front door wide open, would he?
12:25I think less than anyone could get in.
12:27Except us.
12:29Gadget!
12:30Gadget!
12:31Gadget!
12:32Gadget!
12:33Gadget!
12:34Gadget!
12:35Gadget!
12:37Gadget!
12:40Where's his bicycle?
12:42Good heavens, boy, you don't propose riding him, do you?
12:45If it ain't here, he must have gone off on it,
12:47which means he ain't in the house.
12:58It ain't here.
12:59He's gone home, I tell you.
13:01But he'd never leave the door open like that.
13:03Then he ain't gone out, has he?
13:05He's gone off on his bicycle,
13:07but he's going to come back later to lock up.
13:09But he must be somewhere in the grounds.
13:11Let's wait for him. Let's go and look for him.
13:13Right.
13:20Right, now, pay attention.
13:22White lady, take the drive.
13:24Matt, that area.
13:26Annie, the outbuildings.
13:28Bodkin, follow me.
13:30Forward.
13:36I wonder if I could speak to the vicar.
13:39Oh, is he?
13:41Oh, I see.
13:43No, well, I don't really think so, Mrs Braithwaite.
13:46It's rather a delicate matter.
13:48When do you expect him back?
13:50Yes, I see.
13:52Well, look, do you think you could ask him to meet me
13:55outside Mockley Hall at 6.45?
13:59As a matter of fact, I'm going straight there,
14:01so if he likes to make it any earlier,
14:03I'm going straight there, so if he likes to make it any earlier...
14:16Oi!
14:21Nastya!
14:29Annie, me old fly-by-night.
14:31What are you doing here?
14:32Come to see if Mockley's still the same thrash Kennet used to be.
14:35Well, it was open house for all the rakes and swingers in the country.
14:39You were looking for something then, weren't you?
14:42Oh, Gudgeon.
14:43Gudgeon? What's that?
14:45He's a rogue who knows Mockley.
14:47Has he got a face like an undertaker's uncle?
14:49Yes.
14:50I know him.
14:51What do you want him for?
14:53We can't get him to Mockley.
14:56Well, he's gone.
14:58How do you know?
14:59He just rode straight through me a couple of hours ago,
15:02heading for the village he was going like G.U.
15:04You'd think old Nick himself was after him.
15:07Oh, it's bad, didn't it?
15:08Yeah, I'll tell you something else you don't know.
15:10I know why you can't get into Mockley.
15:13You?
15:14I'll tell you another thing, cos we're mates, aren't we?
15:16I don't think much of that niggling set of wheezers you've landed up with.
15:20Strikes me, they've taken the edge off you and damped your spot.
15:24You used to kick up a devil's delight in the old days.
15:27What's that got to do with her?
15:28Take today, for instance.
15:30I haven't seen you since Harry Knows Well.
15:32And it's come along, Francis, don't talk to the naughty eyewear man.
15:36I don't know how you stand it.
15:38Right.
15:39Really?
15:40Well, sometimes...
15:41Sometimes you shouldn't have to put up with that at all.
15:45Listen, you could have that lot running round after you
15:48like you was the Emperor of China.
15:50Oh, it's bad, nasty.
15:52Could I?
15:53Well, I wouldn't say so otherwise, would I?
15:55Of course you could.
15:57But how so?
15:59That's it, eh?
16:00How?
16:02Her.
16:05Oh, come on, nasty!
16:07Don't keep me on tent hooks!
16:12Gudgeon found my bell.
16:16Did he?
16:18Well, it ain't no ordinary bell.
16:19It drives away spirits.
16:21Well, we're spirits, aren't we?
16:22Yeah.
16:23Well, he must have rung it inside Motley.
16:25Oh, and drew us out.
16:28Bull's-eye!
16:29And what's more, I think the stupid cows left it in there.
16:32Ah, so, until Gudgeon brings out the bell...
16:37We can't get in.
16:39We?
16:40What, you?
16:42You said we.
16:43Fanny.
16:45Do you honestly think I'd tell you all this for nothing?
16:49I mean, I know you know me better than that.
16:52I mean, I robbed you twice, didn't I?
16:53So you ought to.
16:55Now, I'll tell you the truth.
16:58I'm tired of Motley Gibbett.
17:01Oh, I've been hanging around here too long.
17:05It's a lonely place, Fanny.
17:07Very lonely.
17:09I know I'm never going to see Thunderbolt again.
17:12Thunderbolt?
17:13My dear old Prancer.
17:17No, a roof over me head, that's what I'm after, mate.
17:20I'll hang me pistols up, take me boots off,
17:23put me phantom feet up for the rest of me earthbound days.
17:29Nicely, are you?
17:32I don't think the others will let you.
17:36Oh, yes, I think they will.
17:39Why do you think so?
17:41Because we shall have the bell.
17:51Where's Hilders?
17:53Still looking for Gadgeon.
17:54Well, he needn't bother. He's gone home.
18:03Gadgeon!
18:05Pay attention!
18:07Gadgeon!
18:08He can't hear you, Sir George.
18:10Sir George!
18:12Fanny and Narcissus Bullock are planning to take over Motley Hall.
18:16What?
18:17What?
18:27Gadgeon!
18:35Don't go. We need you.
18:37Oh, no, you don't. Depart in peace. I've had a terrible day.
18:41What do you think we've had? Tramping through the woods?
18:44Driven from our home?
18:46And all because you dug up that dreadful bell.
18:49But how was I to know that it was dangerous?
18:51That awful Bullock creature's looking for you.
18:55Gadgeon, you can't run away.
18:57You've got to get the bell.
18:59No.
19:00Yes, you must get it out of Motley.
19:02Whatever personal sacrifice it entails.
19:05Sacrifice?
19:06We shall be right behind you.
19:09But I can't. The Great Hall isn't safe for me.
19:12I can't. The Great Hall isn't safe any more.
19:15Well, you've only yourself to blame.
19:17Never ring strange bells in haunted houses.
19:20I'll never do it again.
19:21You won't get the chance. You will give the bell to me.
19:24No-one else. You understand?
19:25What about that other awful being?
19:27Oh, we'll ring that bell so hard he will end up haunting Outer Mongolia.
19:37Come along, Gadgeon.
19:43Come on.
19:45In.
19:53Come on.
20:06No. No, I can't. I can't.
20:09Awful coward, Indy.
20:12Ring us the bell.
20:16Think what will happen if Narcissus gets it?
20:18Go on, man. Go on.
20:20Move yourself, Gadgeon.
20:22For me, Gadgeon.
20:24Do it for me.
20:26That's right. Put the beggar off.
20:42No.
21:13That's mine.
21:15Nanny.
21:16Well, it is his bell.
21:18You great turnip. He'll rule the roost.
21:21Course he would.
21:22He just wants to join up with us, don't you, nasty?
21:25That's it.
21:26Don't blather on, Francis.
21:28Here.
21:29Don't you talk to strangers.
21:31I'm not a stranger.
21:32I'm not a stranger.
21:33I'm not a stranger.
21:34I'm not a stranger.
21:35I'm not a stranger.
21:36I'm not a stranger.
21:37I'm not a stranger.
21:38I'm not a stranger.
21:39I'm not a stranger.
21:40I'm not a stranger.
21:41Don't you talk to Fanny like that, you frog-faced old damper.
21:45What?
21:46Shall we go in?
21:47No.
21:48I fancy giving my bell a bit of exorcise.
21:51No, nasty. No.
22:06Not a bad little tone, eh?
22:12You said... You said...
22:14Oh, Fanny, you don't want to worry about them.
22:17They ain't our sort. They really ain't.
22:19By scratch, we'll make Motley Hall
22:22the most robustuous palace of pleasure in the country.
22:26There's phantoms that will come from miles.
22:30Yeah, we'll have gamblers,
22:31highwaymen, flash coves by the score.
22:34Yeah, we'll have drinking and prize fights.
22:37Anything you like, just like the old days.
22:41You'd best ring again and have done with me.
22:44Don't be such a donkey. We're mates.
22:47Here.
22:49I've got you a present.
22:56Ten past four.
22:57Bricked his pocket, didn't I?
23:00Look.
23:02His pocket.
23:05And...
23:06your snuff box.
23:08Ain't lost me touch, have I?
23:23You wouldn't, would you?
23:25No, not your old mate. Not your old nasty.
23:28After all them good times we had.
23:31All them fights, laughs.
23:35Fanny!
23:37Don't do it!
23:39For friendship's sake!
23:50Hey!
23:57Forward!
24:07Forward!
