- 00:51Mind your hernia Grandad.
- 00:55Put your end down there Grandad, that's right.
- 00:57Now your end Rodney.
- 00:59(Rodney scoffs)
- 01:00Gordon Bennett, Rodney what is your game?
- 01:02This could be a deluxe Chippendale,
- 01:04and you're treating it like something
- 01:05we're dragging out for the bonfire.
- 01:07- That's about the best place for it.
- 01:09- You don't know, this could be a Queen Anne cabinet.
- 01:13- Oh, give over Del.
- 01:14- Don't look very old to me.
- 01:17- No, that is because when you were a lad
- 01:18this was probably G Plan,
- 01:22but to anyone born after the Napoleonic Wars,
- 01:25this is antique.
- 01:27Anyway I'm gonna put an ad in the paper in the morning.
- 01:29Don't know what I'll charge for it though.
- 01:31What do you reckon, what, 95?
- 01:33- Why don't you go the whole hog and make it a pound?
- 01:37- You're starting to annoy me.
- 01:40- Hey, it's got woodworm.
- 01:42- Hey, that has not got woodworm.
- 01:44- What's all them little holes then?
- 01:46- Well I don't know.
- 01:46Maybe Queen Anne played darts.
- 01:48(audience laughing)
- 01:50Where's these lifts?
- 01:52I tell you what, I tell you,
- 01:53I'm considering letting the British Museum
- 01:55take a look at it.
- 01:56- Yeah?
- 01:57I'd let Rentokil have a go first.
- 01:58(audience laughing)
- 01:59- You don't know nothing about antiques you, do you?
- 02:03I mean, you know,
- 02:03dealers they often put holes in little items like these
- 02:06to give it that sort of distressed look.
- 02:08- Distressed?
- 02:09-[Del] Yeah.
- 02:10- Del, this thing looks panic-stricken.
- 02:11(audience laughing)
- 02:14- Where are these rotten lifts?
- 02:17If those kids have jammed them again
- 02:18I'm gonna clump their ear off.
- 02:20(audience laughing)
- 02:23Oh, I don't believe it, I don't believe it.
- 02:26- Oh, oh now, come on Del, it was a complete accident.
- 02:29Look, it just come off in his hand.
- 02:31(audience laughing)
- 02:32- Why you lying git you, you ripped it off.
- 02:34- Now come along Grandfather, tell the truth for once.
- 02:37- I just don't believe this.
- 02:38This thing has survived the Spanish Armada,
- 02:41the Black Death and the Blitz,
- 02:43and then you two cack-handed sods come along,
- 02:46and in five minutes you've destroyed
- 02:48a piece of our national heritage.
- 02:50I don't know.
- 02:51- Morning Mr. Trotter.
- 02:52- Morning Mrs. Murphy.
- 02:54- Look you could, that was the lift weren't it?
- 02:58That was the lift.
- 02:59(audience laughing)
- 03:02Now what am I gonna do about that thing, eh?
- 03:04I mean, you can't bodge about with this sort of quality.
- 03:08I mean, it's gonna take the skills
- 03:09of a fully-trained furniture restorer.
- 03:11- Oh they ain't half dear, Del boy.
- 03:13- Are they?
- 03:15Hey Rodney.
- 03:16Whip down to the DIY shop and get a bag of nails, will you?
- 03:22- Here y'are.
- 03:24'Queen Anne cabinet.
- 03:26Genuine antique, good as new.
- 03:29Lovely condition throughout,
- 03:32a snip at 145 pounds.
- 03:37You could make the Elgin Marbles
- 03:38sound like a second-hand Datsun, couldn't you?
- 03:41- Oi, how much of this stuff did you sell today?
- 03:44- What d'you mean in pounds, sterling or in number of items?
- 03:46- Either.
- 03:47- None. - None?
- 03:48- People ain't interested, Del.
- 03:50- Gordon Bennett Rodney.
- 03:52I pick a prime site in the Arndale Centre
- 03:54and you can't even get shot of a pair of pop-socks.
- 03:57You wanna grow up a bit, my son.
- 03:58I suppose you spent all day playing marbles
- 04:00with that mate Elgin of yours.
- 04:03- What?
- 04:05- What are you doing tomorrow Rodney?
- 04:06You and Mickey Pearce playing five-stones?
- 04:09(doorbell ringing)
- 04:09- You want to pull your socks up
- 04:11you do, you know.
- 04:12- Del, these things look like living bras
- 04:15that ain't been well.
- 04:16(doorbell ringing)
- 04:18- Alright, alright, hang about.
- 04:19Don't knock the battery out.
- 04:23- Good evening.
- 04:28Miranda Davenport.
- 04:33Miranda Davenport.
- 04:35- Ah yes, I think I know what this is about.
- 04:37Now if it was your Mercedes I backed into the other day,
- 04:39I can assure you--
- 04:40- No, no, no.
- 04:41You obviously haven't the faintest idea why I'm here.
- 04:44I telephoned earlier about your newspaper ad
- 04:47for the Queen Anne cabinet.
- 04:48- Oh gotcha.
- 04:50- Well, I left a message with an elderly gentleman,
- 04:51he did sound somewhat vague.
- 04:53- Oh yes, yes, well he is rather vague.
- 04:56He had a bang on the head you see.
- 04:57- Ah yes.
- 04:58When did it happen?
- 04:59- Soon.
- 05:01Do come in Miss Davenport, or may I call you Miranda?
- 05:07- Well yes, I suppose so.
- 05:08- D'you know, Miranda is my most favorite name?
- 05:10- Really?
- 05:11- Yeah.
- 05:12My name is Del, that's short for Derek.
- 05:14How d'you do?
- 05:15Please go in to the sitting room, will you?
- 05:17There you go.
- 05:18- Oi, Grandad.
- 05:27- Grandad, did somebody call earlier about the cabinet?
- 05:29- Oh yes.
- 05:30She's coming round this evening.
- 05:32Some posh tart.
- 05:35- Some posh tart.
- 05:36He's a card, ain't he?
- 05:38- Yes, isn't he just.
- 05:40- Rodney come on, clear this.
- 05:43Put your homework away, would you Rodney, come on
- 05:54Well, what do you think?
- 05:56- Very nice.
- 05:57Where is the Queen Anne cabinet?
- 06:00- This, this is it.
- 06:02- This is the Queen Anne cabinet?
- 06:04- Oh yes, this's definitely a Queen Anne,
- 06:06it's been given the once-over by experts.
- 06:09Do you know anything about antiques, Miranda?
- 06:12- Yes, I run my own antique shop in Chelsea.
- 06:17- Well, it might not be Queen Anne.
- 06:21- It isn't.
- 06:22It's Queen Elizabeth, circa 1955.
- 06:25If you look inside you'll see,
- 06:27beneath the dust and cobwebs, some faded lettering.
- 06:34- F-Y.
- 06:36- F-F.
- 06:37- Thank you, yes, Rodney.
- 06:38E-S.
- 06:40- Fyffes.
- 06:41- Fyffes.
- 06:43Didn't they use to make bananas?
- 06:47- That is correct.
- 06:49- So, so what does that indicate then?
- 06:51- It indicates banana boxes of course.
- 06:54- Maybe they were antique banana boxes.
- 06:57- Alright, alright, thank you very much, Grandad.
- 06:58Why don't you go to your bedroom
- 06:59and watch the 'Chinese Detective' on the portable?
- 07:01Go on.
- 07:02- Alright, I know where I'm not wanted.
- 07:04- Well, go on then.
- 07:08He never, never quite got over Suez.
- 07:11Well, are you interested in it Miranda?
- 07:14- No, I'm afraid not Mr Trotter.
- 07:17- Well, what do you think we should do with it then?
- 07:20- I'm not sure.
- 07:21Is there a tip near here?
- 07:24- No there must be a wally somewhere who'd want to buy it.
- 07:26- Yeah, let's face it Del,
- 07:28you bought it last week didn't you?
- 07:31- I say, that's rather pretty isn't it?
- 07:33- That?
- 07:34You must be joking, it gives me itchy fever
- 07:36every time I look at it.
- 07:38- I think it's rather sweet.
- 07:40Is it for sale?
- 07:41- Sorry, no, definitely not.
- 07:43No, that you see is a family heirloom.
- 07:45It belonged to my latedeparted Grandmother.
- 07:47We couldn't possibly sell it, could we Rodney?
- 07:49- No, no, no way, no.
- 07:52It's valuable then?
- 07:53- Oh no, no, it's worthless.
- 07:55I just rather like it, that's all.
- 07:57You see, I'm redecorating my London flat
- 08:00and I'm just on the look-out for little pieces like that.
- 08:03Still, never mind.
- 08:06Do you know, I'm really rather in two minds
- 08:09about this cabinet now.
- 08:11- What, you think this might have some potential
- 08:12do you, Miranda?
- 08:13- Well I'm really not sure.
- 08:15But you see, what's persuading me
- 08:17is that you're obviously a man
- 08:19with an eye for this sort of thing.
- 08:21- Oh yes, petit Suisse.
- 08:24- Right.
- 08:25Whereas I'm just a woman trying to make her way
- 08:27in the big wide world.
- 08:29- Oh yes, it's dog eat dog in the antique game, Miranda.
- 08:32- I know.
- 08:34Derek, you'll most probably say no but I was wondering
- 08:39whether you and I could go into this together?
- 08:42- How d'you mean Miranda?
- 08:44- Well, I was thinking.
- 08:46We could take this to the workroom at the back of my shop.
- 08:49I have a very good man working there
- 08:50who could possibly restore this to its former glory.
- 08:54Repolish the top, varnish out the lettering,
- 08:57some new brass handles,
- 08:58and then we could put it in the shop and share the profit.
- 09:02What d'you think?
- 09:04- I think that sounds just the ticket, Miranda.
- 09:07Mind you, I'd have to have a word with my partner.
- 09:10- Oh me?
- 09:14- Will you excuse us while we confer?
- 09:18Rodney, would you join me,
- 09:20I'd like to have a word with you in the office?
- 09:22- What to--
- 09:23- Confer, yes.
- 09:24Excuse us.
- 09:26There you go.
- 09:27Thank you.
- 09:29Thank you, we'll be back in a couple of shakes, alright.
- 09:34- Well, if you want my opinion Del,
- 09:36I don't think we should let that cabinet out of our sight.
- 09:39- That cabinet is definitely going to her shop
- 09:41to be tarted up and sold for a ridiculously high profit.
- 09:44End of discussion.
- 09:47- Good, good, well,
- 09:48there's nothing like talking things out is there?
- 09:51If you wasn't interested in my opinion,
- 09:53what d'you drag me in here for?
- 09:54- 'Cos I want your advice, Rodney.
- 09:58I think she fancies me.
- 10:01- Miranda?
- 10:02- Yeah.
- 10:03- Leave it out Del, she's an intelligent woman.
- 10:07- I know she's an intelligent woman.
- 10:09That is most probably why she fancies me.
- 10:12- True, true, yeah, well,
- 10:13I did notice the way she looked at you.
- 10:16- Yeah, how?
- 10:19- What?
- 10:19- How, you know, how did she look at me?
- 10:23- Well, sort of.
- 10:30Like that.
- 10:32- Looks like she had a hot chip in her mouth.
- 10:36- Del, I can't do a face like hers, can I?
- 10:38- No, no I suppose not, no.
- 10:41How am I going to tell her that, you know,
- 10:42the 'feeling' is mutual?
- 10:44- Just tell her.
- 10:47- But how?
- 10:47- I don't know, do I?
- 10:48- You do, you're the one with the GCEs.
- 10:51- Just be yourself.
- 10:53- Leave it out, Rodney,
- 10:54I wanna be in with at least half a chance.
- 10:57- Del, for once in your life, be you, alright?
- 11:00And you won't need none of them
- 11:01soppy French phrases neither.
- 11:03- What d'you mean, soppy French phrases?
- 11:05La bonne vie, you stupid.
- 11:06- See what I mean?
- 11:08Del, you can't speak French.
- 11:10You're still struggling with English.
- 11:13- What is it with you Rodney?
- 11:14Do you like hospital food or something?
- 11:17- I'm just being honest with you.
- 11:19Let's face it Del, most of your French phrases
- 11:20come straight out of a Citroen manual, don't they?
- 11:24- A lot of people are impressed by things like that.
- 11:26- Yeah, maybe the cave-men down at the Nag's Head.
- 11:29But it's not going to cut any ice
- 11:30with Arthur Negus's youngest in there, is it?
- 11:34- I suppose you're right.
- 11:38- Del, if you're really that interested,
- 11:41why don't you just give her a sign
- 11:42of your mutual attraction.
- 11:44- Yeah, a sign, eh?
- 11:46- Yeah.
- 11:46And be yourself.
- 11:49- Yeah, yeah, yeah okay, yeah.
- 11:50That's it.
- 11:51He who dares, wins.
- 11:53Right.
- 11:56Well, that is it, Miranda.
- 11:57I have discussed the matter with my partner
- 12:00and we both agree that we shall exceed to your delusions.
- 12:05- What?
- 12:06- You take that thing with you and get it tarted up.
- 12:08- Oh good.
- 12:10Well, I'll telephone you in the morning
- 12:11and arrange for it to be collected.
- 12:13- Yes, thank you.
- 12:24Fancy a curry?
- 12:29- Why not?
- 12:47- My old guts are playing me up this morning, Rodney.
- 12:50- Yeah, I know.
- 12:55- I've got a touch of the old Ghandi's revenge bruv.
- 12:58- What, from the Ruby last night?
- 13:00- Yeah.
- 13:02- Did Miranda enjoy it?
- 13:03- Well, she had a bit of aggro with the chicken tikka,
- 13:06mind you it was a bit rubbery.
- 13:08She was chewing on one bit for about half an hour.
- 13:11I thought she'd end up blowing bubbles with it any minute.
- 13:16She's quite a sort though, ain't she Rodney?
- 13:18- Yeah, she's alright.
- 13:19- What d'you mean, alright?
- 13:20Alright?
- 13:21You wouldn't say no would yer, eh?
- 13:24No, she's quite taken with me an' all you know.
- 13:27No, she is, she's very impressed.
- 13:31Well, she knows I know a lot about antiques don't she, eh?
- 13:33- Oh yeah, yeah, well,
- 13:35you've been out with enough ain't you?
- 13:37- Oi, that is enough of that.
- 13:41Anyway listen, I went up her shop this morning up Chelsea.
- 13:43Real pukka establishment Rodney,
- 13:46I mean, you know, real pukka.
- 13:48Sort of place royals go.
- 13:50No, I think something really good
- 13:52is gonna come out of this, bruv.
- 13:54- Do us a favor, Del.
- 13:57Look, don't get too carried away with this Miranda sort, eh?
- 14:01I mean, her type don't give a monkey's for the likes of you.
- 14:05- What do you mean by that?
- 14:08- I mean I've seen it all before.
- 14:10You meet someone you take a fancy to
- 14:12and within a week it's all wine and roses
- 14:14and 'I'm just popping down to Bravington's, Rodney'.
- 14:18- What do you think I am some sort of whelk or something?
- 14:20Still wet behind the ears?
- 14:22I know exactly what I'm doing.
- 14:29- Nice one, Derek, nice one, my son.
- 14:33- I must admit there is a certain chemistry
- 14:36between me and Miranda.
- 14:40I'm just gonna pop next door
- 14:40and get a Dalton's Weekly, alright.
- 15:32- Fancy an Indian?
- 15:42Fascist!
- 15:45- Right, you fit then Rodders, eh?
- 15:47- Yeah, yeah fit.
- 15:50- Here, you ain't 'arf got a nasty rash
- 15:51coming up on your boat race.
- 15:54- Oh yeah, yeah that's,
- 15:56that's just where I caught the sun, you know.
- 15:59- Well, if I didn't know any better
- 16:00I'd swear that someone had smacked you right in the eye.
- 16:03- Alright don't go on about it.
- 16:05- What d'you mean?
- 16:06You're a touchy little git sometimes ain't you?
- 16:12Here we are.
- 16:13That's it.
- 16:14Do come in.
- 16:16There we are.
- 16:17I'll get the door.
- 16:20Oh, allow me.
- 16:21Thank you, there you are, Miranda.
- 16:25Sit yourself down on the chaise longue
- 16:29and I'll fix us a drink.
- 16:38What can I get you, port and lemon or rum and coke?
- 16:40Or shall I surprise you?
- 16:42- Why don't you surprise me.
- 16:44- Right you are.
- 16:46There we go.
- 16:49That was a blinding meal weren't it Miranda, right?
- 16:51- Yes, it was very nice.
- 16:53I did feel a bit over-dressed for a Berni Inn though.
- 16:58- I don't think so.
- 16:59I think we made quite an impression.
- 17:01I mean everybody was looking at us.
- 17:02- Yes.
- 17:10- Take a sip of that, Miranda.
- 17:12- What is it?
- 17:14- That is called a Tequila Sunset.
- 17:18Cheers.
- 17:21- It tastes of gin.
- 17:23- Yeah, I run out of Tequila.
- 17:26- Well, it's very nice.
- 17:28- Yeah, isn't it?
- 17:30I actually got the recipe off a Mexican barman.
- 17:33- Have you been to Mexico?
- 17:35- No, no, he lives in the flat upstairs.
- 17:41Miranda.
- 17:44I, well, I've been, thinking about us.
- 17:48And I've--
- 17:50Oh yes, sorry about that, it belongs to Rodney.
- 17:54He's into still-life.
- 17:57He's got his GCE in Art you know.
- 17:59- Really?
- 17:59- Oh yeah.
- 18:00He'll most probably be famous when he's dead.
- 18:03As I was saying, I've been thinking about you and me.
- 18:07- Do you like art?
- 18:08- Oh yeah, it's terrific, I can't get enough of it.
- 18:10You see the thing is that I was thinking--
- 18:12- This is very strong.
- 18:14- Yeah.
- 18:15- Do you like Cezanne?
- 18:16- Oh yes, a bit of ice and lemonade, it's lovely.
- 18:21You see, you and I have got, well, you know.
- 18:24We've got a lot in common, haven't we?
- 18:26I mean we're both, well, English.
- 18:30- I do love that painting.
- 18:32- Yes, it's terrific, innit?
- 18:33- Your grandmother must have had very good taste.
- 18:36- No, she couldn't have had much,
- 18:37she married my grandfather.
- 18:39- Do you like that painting, Derek?
- 18:40- What, that?
- 18:41No, I hate it, can't wait to get rid of it.
- 18:44- Oh don't ever throw it away, please.
- 18:47It would look so nice in my flat.
- 18:49I'd hang it just above my bed.
- 18:52Just try to picture it.
- 18:54Oh you can't, I've just remembered,
- 18:57you haven't seen my bedroom yet.
- 19:05- No, I haven't seen your bedroom yet.
- 19:10- You were saying?
- 19:13- What?
- 19:14- You were talking about us.
- 19:16- Oh yeah.
- 19:17Yeah, yeah.
- 19:18Well, I was gonna say that I was thinking about,
- 19:20well, I thought, you know maybe later,
- 19:22you know, not now, if you like in the future sometime,
- 19:25when you, sort of felt like it,
- 19:28we could, sort of, work closer together.
- 19:33- I've been thinking exactly the same thing.
- 19:36- Have you?
- 19:39- Ever since I first met you.
- 19:42- Oh Miranda, drink up, I'll get you another Tequila Sunset.
- 19:49- No really, I've had quite enough.
- 19:51- Yeah, alright.
- 19:59Shall I put my Richard Clayderman LP on?
- 20:04- No, I must be going.
- 20:05I have to be up early in the morning,
- 20:07Mummy and Daddy will probably ring first thing
- 20:09to wish me happy returns.
- 20:11You know what parents are like.
- 20:12- No, I haven't had any for ages.
- 20:16Sorry, did you say it's your birthday?
- 20:18- Yes.
- 20:18Surely I told you?
- 20:22Oh, you haven't bought me a present?
- 20:25- What?
- 20:25- Oh you really shouldn't have.
- 20:28It's very sweet of you though, thank you.
- 20:39I really must be off.
- 20:51- Sorry Gran.
- 20:59Good morning Rodders, good morning Grandfather.
- 21:02It's a beautiful day out innit, eh?
- 21:04Makes you glad to be alive, don't it?
- 21:06- Yes, terrific.
- 21:07- Where you off to then, Del?
- 21:09- I'm just going out to Miranda's shop.
- 21:12Just to see the cabinet.
- 21:14- What time's visiting hours then, Del?
- 21:16- There's nothing wrong with that cabinet, Rodney.
- 21:19I keep on telling you, it's very nice cabinet.
- 21:22- Yes, it is.
- 21:23I mean a million wooodworms can't be wrong can they?
- 21:26- I've told you before Rodney,
- 21:28there are no woodworms in that cabinet.
- 21:31- Whose birthday is it then, Del?
- 21:33- Mine if I play my cards right!
- 21:36'Happy birthday sweetheart,
- 21:37'from your ever loving Delly-Welly.'
- 21:45- Delly-Wally more like it.
- 21:47- Alright.
- 21:48Alright, put that down
- 21:49and let's not have so much of it, shall we.
- 21:52- It's Miranda's birthday Rodney and we forgot.
- 21:55- Oh no, what a choker, still never mind.
- 22:00What d'you get for her birthday, Del?
- 22:02- Oh, nothing much!
- 22:05- What's happened to your Gran's painting?
- 22:08- Eh?
- 22:09Well, I told you the sun would fade it, didn't I?
- 22:12- Sun, my arse.
- 22:16You've given it to that tart ain't you?
- 22:18- Well, she's not gonna raffle it, is she?
- 22:20She'll only hang it on her bedroom wall.
- 22:21- Your Gran brought that painting into this house, Del.
- 22:25There was an history behind it, and you knew it.
- 22:27- You stole your own Grandmother's painting?
- 22:29- I didn't steal the painting.
- 22:31Gran left that painting to me.
- 22:33- Don't give me that old Mother Hubbbard.
- 22:35- She did.
- 22:36One night, when she wasn't feeling too well, she said to me,
- 22:38she said, 'Del, when I go that painting is yours.'
- 22:40- I don't remember it.
- 22:42- No, you were out.
- 22:43- That's handy innit, no witnesses.
- 22:45- There were witnesses.
- 22:46There was Mum and Rodney.
- 22:49- Mum ain't here any more.
- 22:50- I know that but Rodney is.
- 22:52You remember don't you, Rodney?
- 22:53- Well, I can't say I do, Del.
- 22:54- But you must remember.
- 22:55You were there, over there in the corner.
- 22:56With Mum, having your nappy changed.
- 23:01- Having his nappy cha--
- 23:02He could have only been about four.
- 23:04- Exactly, how the hell do you expect.--
- 23:05Four?
- 23:08- I never thought I'd live to see the day when you,
- 23:11you of all people, let the family down.
- 23:14I'm going to my room.
- 23:15- Here, come here.
- 23:17Grandad.
- 23:18Come on.
- 23:19Here you are, look, have a tenner, come on.
- 23:30- She's got you tied up like a turkey ain't she?
- 23:34You've changed since you met her, Del.
- 23:36- You've got more hooter than Pinocchio.
- 23:40Just stay out of my life, will you.
- 23:41- Yeah, I'll stay out of your life.
- 23:43In fact, I think I can quite safely say
- 23:44that me and Grandad won't ever get under your feet again.
- 23:49I just hope Miranda suffers with hay-fever.
- 23:53- Rodney.
- 23:55- What?
- 23:56- Don't be a plonker.
- 24:03- Did he leave that tenner?
- 24:42- Hello Harry.
- 24:43Is Miranda about?
- 24:44- No, she's popped down to Huddleton's, Del.
- 24:45Just down the road there, on your left.
- 24:47- Well, I'll pop down and see her.
- 24:49Here, how come you ain't open?
- 24:50- Had to close mate, we're being fumigated,
- 24:53the place is full of woodworm.

- 26:03you know, sort of birthday treat.
- 26:05- Birthday?
- 26:06Oh yes, how sweet.
- 26:09- These are for you.
- 26:10They're daffodils.
- 26:12- So they are.
- 26:14- They used to be my Mum's favorite.
- 26:18- Oh really?
- 26:19Well, thank you.
- 26:21Look, I'm rather busy at the moment.
- 26:23Why don't you wait for me
- 26:24at that little wine bar round the corner?
- 26:26- Yeah, alright.
- 26:28Will you be long?
- 26:29- How should I know?

- 26:49Do I have 7,000?
- 26:527,000.

- 26:57- You lied to me, didn't you?
- 26:59- Nobody's perfect.
- 27:01- It's not your birthday at all, is it?
- 27:03- It will be soon.
- 27:06- All you wanted me for was that painting weren't it?
- 27:10- Well, what else did you think I was interested in?
- 27:12That banana box of a Queen Anne cabinet?
- 27:14The damn thing's infested my entire stock.
- 27:17- No, I thought, you know, maybe there was something else.
- 27:24- Oh you.
- 27:27Did you honestly think I enjoyed being in the company
- 27:29of a man who slapped my bottom, called me sweetheart
- 27:33and assaulted my digestive system with third-rate curries.
- 27:38- Yeah.
- 27:40- You must be a fool.
- 27:45- Miranda, you should have told me
- 27:46that you wanted to sell that painting.
- 27:47- Don't be ridiculous, I'm in business.
- 27:49I realized how valuable it was the moment I saw it.
- 27:51Why should I tell you?
- 27:53- No, Miranda, you don't understand.
- 27:54- I think you're the one who's confused Derek.
- 27:56And let's get one thing absolutely clear.
- 27:59That painting is now mine.
- 28:01It's been legally registered in my name.
- 28:04- Mummy and Daddy have even signed an affidavit to swear
- 28:07that the painting has been in our family for generations.
- 28:13- Thank Gawd for that.
- 28:15I've been trying to get shot of that painting for years.
- 28:18- What do you mean?
- 28:20- I know exactly what that painting is
- 28:22and I know exactly how much it's worth.
- 28:24- Rubbish.
- 28:24How could someone like you possibly know that?
- 28:26- I'll tell you how I know that, shall I?
- 28:28Because my old Gran used to be a char-lady to an art dealer.
- 28:31That's how I know.
- 28:33- Oh I see, and this Mrs Mopp examined it, did she?
- 28:37- No, she didn't examine it.
- 28:39She nicked it!
- 28:41-[Auctioneer] 17,600 pounds.
