Donna was kind enough to lend it to me, but, um, well, she didn't mention that the indicator
didn't work and that the tyre needed changing and the petrol tank was empty.
Sounds like you paid dearly for the privilege.
Kathy, do you know about Dot Ryan who lives around here?
I certainly do. She and Jack have been feuding for about 30 years.
Yeah?
Yeah, Dot reckons he owes her about eight and sixpence for a cow he once bought from
her.
We should Jack no doubt insist he's paid for, right?
No. Says he never got the cow.
That'd be right. Apparently she runs some sort of an animal trading post or something.
Well, she takes in strays, builds them up with her famous herbal remedies and sells
them. Does all right out of it too.
Yeah? Sounds like quite a character.
You're not planning to go out there, are you?
Yeah, I am. Why, shouldn't I be?
She doesn't take too kindly to vets. Only calls them in as a last resort.
Well, maybe she hasn't met a vet that's as caring and capable as me, right?
Well good luck. Don't say I didn't warn you.
Yeah, bye.
Bye.
Saj, have you seen my calc... Oh, there it is.
Well, you're not gonna use it now, are you? I was gonna use it myself when I finished
this.
I've still gotta do my maths homework.
You should have done that last night. Exams are just around the corner now.
I was up till 11 finishing my English assignment. I was too tired by then.
In my day we used to do sums in our head. Mental arithmetic. Nothing like it for developing
a quick, agile mind.
Then why are you using my calculator?
Well, no point in making it hard for yourself if there's one hand, is there? I was gonna
have some orange juice. You want some?
Tom, so what are you doing anyway?
Repairing my joggers. Expensive these days, new ones.
No, I meant this.
Oh, I was doing a little budgeting, see if I could afford to buy Sheryl a anniversary
present.
Well, I can lend you some money when my check comes in if you want.
No, no, no, J, that's yours. Damn, this one's about to go now.
Well, what are you getting her?
Something special, something she's always wanted.
Mmm.
An antique necklace.
Oh, wow. They're pretty expensive though, aren't they?
When you're buying for somebody as special as Sheryl, it doesn't matter.
Two hundred?
Huh.
Three hundred?
Look, I told you, J.
Four?
Well, look, if you must know, I don't know for sure, but I budgeted for five hundred.
Mmm, wow, that is expensive.
Well, not if you put a little away here and a little away there and do away with such luxuries
as new joggers.
Well, what's so special about an antique necklace anyway? I mean, there's hundreds of them
around.
Yeah, but most of them are inferior quality. This one's a genuine article. She'll feel
like a million dollars.
Oh, so it's like a status symbol, something to show off to your friends.
No, it is not.
Just kidding, Satch.
Oh, Alex. I suppose this looks pretty odd. Actually, see, I was just having a shower
and the, um, the exhaust fan started to play up. I mean, you wouldn't credit. I was right
in the middle of shampooing my hair and the little, the thing in me that holds the fan
in.
Pardon?
The thing in me? They're called lugs.
Oh, is that what lugs are? I always thought lugs were the little round things that go around.
Growl it.
Hmm?
Pete actually spent an entire evening explaining the difference to me once. I actually quite
enjoyed it.
This is a reflex hammer.
Good for knees, elbows and lugs. Go for your life.
Yeah, thank you, doctor. I'll, I'll give them no quarter. Oh, um, it's reflex. Excuse
me. Morning.
I'm sorry to come straight in, doctor. There was no one at the desk.
We don't normally open surgery till ten on Tuesdays.
Yes, I know, but Belinda's hurt her leg. I wanted to have it looked at as soon as possible.
Well, we'd better have a look at it then. Come up onto the couch for me, Belinda. There
we go. Now, where exactly is it sore?
It swelled a little last week, but the next day it was fine. Then last night it came up
again. Just as bad this morning.
That's no good. You're doing any unusual exercise or sport lately?
Nothing she's not used to.
What sport do you play?
Swimming, netball.
Have you been running hard or fallen over lately?
Oh, she doesn't have much time for sport. Not with the ballet exams coming up. She has
to practice, don't you, darling?
Ballet?
She's very good at it. We hope to make it to the city of Sydney, Stedford next year.
Does your ballet teacher know about this soreness?
No, well, it's not up to her.
Does she know, Belinda?
It's nothing serious, is it? She's been working towards this for the last two years.
How old are you, Belinda?
Eleven.
Uh-huh. She's always been very careful. I supervise her warm-up exercises myself. I'm
a trained dancer.
You give her extra training at home, do you?
Of course.
Well, I'm afraid you're gonna have to ease up on that for a while.
Why? What's the problem?
Belinda has a strained medial ligament. It's like RSI, where the ligament's been repeatedly
strained. At the moment it's just a mild first-degree strain. A couple of weeks rest
and she'll be able to begin exercising again gradually.
Oh, but the ballet exams are only a couple of months away. Can't you do something to
heal it?
I'm sorry.
The only cure is rest.
Have you ever tasted it? You know, the taste of the state. Like a slice of fritz?
Yes, thanks.
With sauce? Ah, it's great. And don't forget the ham.
Excuse me.
You're pulling my leg.
Oh, sorry.
Chapmans is the taste of the state. Chapmans is the taste of the state. Chapmans is the
taste. Chapmans is the taste. Chapmans is the taste of the state.
Great.
Have a crunchy.
Ah, Cadbury Crunchy.
Cadbury Crunchy.
A blend of crisp, light, crunchy honeycomb covered in delicious Cadbury Dairy Milk chocolate.
Cadbury Crunchy. It'll change the colour of your day.
Change the colour of your, change the colour of your day.
Cadbury Crunchy.
Crunchy.
If it's laughs you want, then join 5A Fridays for an hour of great comedy. At 7.30, it's
The Cosby Show.
You know, I am the master of fright.
And College Girl Denise Huxtable in A Different World at 8. The Cosby Show and A Different
World, Fridays on 5A.
Mrs. Ryan?
Come on.
Get her.
Come on.
Get her.
Who are you and what's your business here?
Ah, I'm the vet, Ben Green. You did call about a goat, didn't you?
Oh, yeah. She's round here.
I don't much like vets coming here.
So I heard.
This one's got me stumped. Poultice usually works okay, but swelling's been up for a couple
of days and I thought I'd better call you.
Well, let's have a look at you here.
Ah, it's a good thing you did call me. Looks like she's got a hematoma.
Blood clots, you mean?
Yeah.
She'll be all right?
Yeah, she'll be fine. I just need to lance it. I was going to ask you if you wanted me
to have a look at the other animals, but they all seem pretty healthy.
They're off the Whidgira sail yard Saturday week.
Yeah? Well, they're in good condition. You ought to get good prices for them.
As long as I get enough to keep me going. You haven't been bringing a new lock, have
you, Melba? Bringing some new mates for you when these locks gone.
Eh? How's that?
There's that busybody. Now I'm in for it.
Oh, morning, Ben. Dot, how are we feeling today?
Fit as a fiddle and twice as stringy. Not that it's any of your business.
Well, as a matter of fact, it is. District nurse has been complaining about you again.
Oh. Well, you tell her not to stick so many needles in me and I'll be more hospitable.
Yes, well, if you'd take care of yourself, we wouldn't have to.
Oh, there we go again, Melba. All this will knock you about vitamins and minerals and
anything else and rubbish they want to put into you these days.
Let's get this injection over and done with, shall we?
I thought I threw these out. What are you doing with those?
I'm crossing them out. Frank, the last strand of elastic gave up
years ago. What's wrong with buying a new pair?
Charlie, do you know the price of new joggers these days?
Oh, let her have it, Frank. Buy a new pair of those, too.
Yeah, well, you're right about these, but the joggers stay.
Anyone seen my purse? It's on the bench, darling.
Did you get your maths homework done? Yes. Area of a circle equals pi r squared.
Area of a triangle is half the base times the height. That's if all sides are equal.
I'm glad to hear they're teaching you something practical for a change.
Yeah, well, it's pretty important. People ask me things like that all the time.
They'll get it. Sarge, could I have a couple of bucks for
lunch? What are you having? A three-course meal?
No, a salad roll and a cake. I'll pay you back when I get some money. I'll give you
a receipt. All right, here. Who was it?
Courier with a letter for Joe. Wow!
Who'd send a letter here by Courier? Look, it's my check. $1,350.
Oh, let me see, darling. How about that? $1,500 minus the agency commission, Frank.
Look at that. Lucky girl.
And for one day's work. Yeah.
Nature never meant people to get vitamins out of needles.
Maybe not, but she did intend people to eat a balanced diet.
You seem to spend more time looking after the welfare of those animals than yourself.
That's because they need it, poor bludgers. The dry spell's been knocking at the six.
Most of the farmers leave them out to die at first and they don't even bother to feed
them. The least I can do is give them another chance.
Nobody's denying you're doing a wonderful job, but it is a lot to take on for someone
your age. What's that supposed to mean? That I'm past
it? Well, we did have you in hospital a couple
of months ago. Well, let me tell you something.
I'm not giving up my animals or going on a pension for no one.
I've got no money, honest. I'm going to keep it that way until I can't get it.
And neither you nor anybody else can tell me different.
What did you say you did? Juggler? No, mate, no, no. We've got jugglers coming out of
our ears. No, no. What they want is music these days,
like rock and roll, country and western, you know what I mean.
Oh, all right. Well, don't call us. We'll call you.
I know. That's what they always say. Let's show this talk, right?
This little beauty's as our road to fame and fortune, old son.
What's that? A commission for Joe's head.
What are you doing with your big heap? I do the banking.
Hey, you said you were going to be tied up here all day and I want that thing cleared
in the bank as soon as possible. We decided that I was going to handle the
dough, remember? We didn't decide. We just discussed it.
Well, I'm deciding right now. I'm doing the banking.
150 bucks, eh? You beauty.
Here's the bill for the lizard. Guess what?
What? 165 bucks. We owe 15.
Congratulations, Vernon and Mr. Hatfield. I hear you've done very well for yourselves.
Yeah, sure is, but it takes the colour of money to bring up the true colours in some
people, don't it? Don't forget we're interviewing new talent
at 11. Sharp. Yes, thanks for helping with the tables.
I'll take over now, Lullabh. $1,500. That was how much young Joe earned, wasn't
it? Oh, we're not allowed to discuss the figure,
is. It's quite a sum of money.
Yeah, money for jam. That's the excitement of show business.
You never know when you're going to crack it. Look at Paul Hogan.
One minute he's painting the bridge, next minute he's making a squillion around the
world. I used to be a tap dancer.
Did I ever mention that to you, Vernon? Hey, Ez.
Don't leave your day job. You needn't hang around any longer.
I'll just take the phone off the hook so I won't be bothered.
I was in the Barragun Pollies when they resurrected them just after the war.
And quite good I was, too, even though I do say so myself.
You were a dancer, Marie. You'd remember the Polly, surely.
Oh, that was more Mum's time, Ezme. A cask of orange juice, please, Cookie.
Sure, Lullabh. There were people who thought they were rather
vulgar, but I always enjoyed tap dancing. Though you were more into the classical style,
as I recall. Mm-hm.
Oh, I'll always remember your mother, how proud she was when you were selected for the
state finals. Still, it was a commendable decision to begin
a family rather than pursue a ballet career. Well, things don't always work out as we expect
them. Still, one day Belinda's going to make up
for all that, aren't you, darling? She's going to pick up where I left off and
make us all very proud of her. Oh, lovely.
I think we'll keep Mrs O'Brien on those diuretics for another week or so.
I don't know how Marjorie manages her. I really don't.
Those district nurses deserve a medal. Sounds like a torrid morning.
Yes, you could say that. Well, I did offer to do it for you, Chief.
Thank you, Sister, but I don't think that the sight of a nurse riding up on horseback
would inspire confidence in our patients. It wouldn't make much difference to old Doc
Ryan. Oh, how is she?
Oh, aggressive, as usual, and like her house, rundown.
I don't wish she'd take as much care of herself as she does of those animals of hers.
Cop a bit of that old acid tongue, did you?
The usual lecture on quack medicine and how it never did no one no good ever.
Although she has pulled off some pretty amazing cures with those herbs of hers.
Yes, well, bush medicine does have its place, I'll grant you, but with animals, not with
humans and not when the hospital is as close as it is.
How's her general condition? Well, for someone with pernicious anemia,
not bad. She's still losing weight.
I've got a couple of calls to make out that way. I think I'll drop in and see you.
Oh, thanks. Right, Sister, State of the Union report,
please. Right. All there.
$500. Beauty.
Come on, Bev. Beverly, give me Brian Jennings, the
jeweler in Burrigan, will you? Never you mind, and as soon as you get him
on the line, you get off or I'll book you for phone tapping.
Ah, Brian, Frank Gilroy. Look, you've got an antique necklace in your
display window. Yes, well, I'm very interested in it.
I was wondering if I could put a hole in it. Well, just till I pop over and pick it up.
Great, that's great. Right. Oh, by the way, how much is it?
$690. Oh, well, look, perhaps you better not hold
it for me. No, no, no, no, I'm still interested.
It's just that I may not be able to stretch the budget that far at the moment.
A lot of people make comebacks at a mature age, Vernon.
Take Gloria Swanson. She was a film star, Ed.
Well, what about Dame Nellie Melber? Just think of the number of comebacks she made.
Yeah, but she was a legitimate talent. Oh, well, no offences, but there just doesn't
seem to be any call for a mature-age tap dancer.
Well, I'll help you with the interviews, mate. Some blood just got loose with a rifle
put right through one of Reg Wilson's milk fats.
Oh, that's great, isn't it? You don't mind copping half the commission.
But when it comes to the hard yakka, who doesn't? Yours truly, as per usual.
I'm sorry, mate. Maybe yours can help you out.
You used to do a bit of tap dancing years ago, didn't you, yes?
There are people who thought I had quite a talent.
Yeah.
PHONE RINGS
That'll be the phone, Rich. Hmm?
Yeah.
PHONE RINGS
Hello? Huh? Sounds like the battery, son.
Hmm. Under the bonnet, son. Bye.
I think city life's made him a bit slower, March.
Hmm. It doesn't take much to keep in touch.
CAR ENGINE REVS
S-G-I-C, car insurance. Yeah.
PHONE RINGS
PHONE RINGS
All right.
Show me.
What? S-G-I-C, car insurance.
We get your car back on the road so quickly, you'd almost think it fixed itself.
LAUGHTER
SONG PLAYS
I'm Alastair Ferguson, stories making news in the region this evening.
Glossop High School students protest at a sit-in this morning
and the Water Advisory Board to recommend a 6% increase in irrigation rates
plus sport and weather information.
Join me for the late news tonight at 12.20 on 5A.
Hey, love day.
Oh, hi, Sandy. What are you doing here? I thought you were sick.
Oh, get real. I took a sickie.
Oh! I had an interview for a hairdressing job.
Wow. When did all this happen?
Last week. I had a fight with the olds.
I told them there was no way I could pass the exams.
Why? You've still got time to study.
Oh, for sure, love day.
Anyway, I thought I'd better tell them now so they could get used to the idea.
What'd they say?
Well, they asked me what I wanted to do, so I said hairdressing.
It was the first thing I could think of.
Oh! Well, I could be your first client.
I got that check from the advert.
How much? Oh, a fair bit.
You're not gonna put it in the bank, are you?
Well, the Sarge reckons it's a secure thing to do.
Oh, boring.
Well, it'd kill me if I spent it all.
Look, it's your money and you can do whatever you like with it.
But there must be millions of things here that's dying to buy.
Oh, yeah.
Well, why wait till you're 65 to buy them?
When are you gonna know about the job?
Few days. How about you shout me a milkshake?
Oh.
You still haven't told me how much.
Yes.
100. You're warm.
Well, not.
You must be rolling in it.
Hey, Love Day.
You know that little red number in Fantasies Boutique?
Mm-hmm.
How about it? Sandy.
That's good.
Hey.
Ah.
Ah.
Special treat, is it?
Well, it's a birthday, sort of.
Must be six years since I found her
wandering up around Flint's Creek.
Some nice farmer had put her out to die.
Typical.
She certainly seems to be enjoying it.
That crabby old matron sent you over here, didn't she?
She'll be sending the Prime Minister next.
We're, uh...
We're just a bit worried that you aren't looking after yourself properly.
How many times do I have to tell you?
If I get sick, there's nature's way of dealing with it.
If that doesn't work, maybe I'll call you.
Maybe I won't.
At least come into the hospital for a checkup.
Matron gave me one of those this morning.
No, I mean a thorough one.
Give you a chance for a few days' rest as well.
Who's gonna look after Melville when I'm not here, and the other animals?
I'm sure Ben Green wouldn't mind popping in to look at them.
I couldn't leave her with no stranger.
You'll have to give that checkup to someone else, won't you?
So, how's Belinda's ballet coming along?
Oh, terrific.
We hope to make it to the Sydney Estad for next year.
Oh, I imagine the competition will be pretty tough.
Mm, it is.
That's why we spend so much time practicing and rehearsing.
Isn't it, darling?
It's a lot at stake.
Well, at least she'll be participating, that's the main thing.
Oh, no, she's got to win if she's going to make it to the national championships.
Won't she miss her friends doing all those extra classes?
She'll have plenty of time for that later.
I nearly won the competition myself.
Except that, uh...
Well, except that I had Belinda, didn't I, darling?
Oh, tea's made.
Oh, I'll get another cup.
Home.
Hello, darling. Have a good day at school?
Yeah, great. Hi, Mrs. Perkins, Belinda.
Sarge, I've got those pamphlets from the bank.
Ah, good. I bet all your friends at school were excited.
Yeah, Darren wants me to invest in his future as a sports star,
and I'll buy him a trail bike.
Typical.
Did you get the necklace for Mrs. J?
Uh, Cheryl and I thought we'd dine out tonight.
Well, what, did you get the...?
We were meeting Doc Elliott at the club later.
You're welcome to join us, if you like.
Sarge. No, I didn't.
The price has gone up and I don't think I can afford it.
That's about it.
Oh, my God.
Rilp. Rilp.
What have I done to you?
Thought you'd be off home hours ago.
Just catching up on some of these.
Apparently there's a lot of new research into coronary artery disease.
The good news, Dr. Francis, is that you've been pushing it pretty hard lately.
The treatment is a night away from all things medical.
Let's face it.
I have to fill in the hours somehow.
Dr. Alex Fraser is highly the hub of Wandon Valley's social life.
Pete gave it to me.
It's a health emergency. Please use. Love, Peter.
I think it'll do you the world of good to join me, Shirley and Frank
for dinner and the gossip down at the club.
What do you think?
Gemfish Cleopatra sounds like an offer too good to refuse.
Meaning you won't refuse?
Hmm?
You can be very persuasive, Doctor.
Thank you, Doctor.
I take that as a compliment.
Mrs. Ryan?
Over here.
All right, Mel, but you'll be all right.
What's happened?
I heard a shot and I came out and found her like this.
Did you see anyone?
No.
What rotten blood you'd want to do this to her?
She never did any harm to anybody.
I don't think there's much I can do.
There's got to be something you can do. You're a vet, aren't you?
I'm sorry, Mrs. Ryan. She's gone.
She never meant nothing.
I'd want to do this to her.
Oh, thank you.
Fair dinkum, they've been at me all day.
Joe has a bit of luck.
Suddenly every man needs dog, wants to be a star.
Well, strange things have happened.
I mean, look at Elvis Presley.
Didn't he come from a small country town?
Tepello, Mississippi.
And Errol Flynn.
He didn't come from Tepello, Mississippi.
He was a small town in those days.
Yeah, I hope I was.
Did you think of anyone, Fred?
No, not really.
And they want to set up an audition,
that friend of yours with the little girl that does ballet.
Oh, Marie Perkin.
Yeah, that's her.
Her mother booked her in to try out as a dancer.
Bit of a pro, as you know what they say.
Anyway, here's to Jack and Jill, who wants it.
I'll take it, thanks, Cookie.
You won't find me complaining.
Don't worry, I'll find a way.
Thank you.
As a matter of fact, seeing as this is sort of a pre-anniversary celebration,
why don't I pick up the whole tab?
That's the least we can do for our friends, eh, Sheld?
Thank you.
Thank you, Frank.
Oh, maybe first, please, Sheld.

whipped vanilla cream.
Arnett's Monte Carlo, there's no other cream biscuit quite like it.

Phone 846891 before three on weekdays.
Did you have any idea about what time it happened?
I see. Yeah.
Yeah, well, I'll go out there.
I thought you girls were doing your homework.
Huh?
You said that's why Sandy came over early.
Oh, yeah, that's right.
So where are your books?
We're just asking each other questions, Mrs. Gilroy.
On geography. Oh, I see.
All right.
What's the principal industry of West Germany?
See you later, mate. Um, acid rain?
I'd better get going. Don't you miss the bus?
That was young Ben.
Some young whore was out at Dot Ryan's last night and shot her cow.
Poor old Dotty. Yeah.
I'm going out there to see her. Can I give you a lift to the clinic?
Yes, thank you, darling. Bye, girls. See you later.
See you, Joan. Sandy. Bye.
Bye.
I thought for sure Mrs. Gilroy would see it.
No, they're too busy getting themselves ready.
It's the same in our house.
Early, mate. We've got something.
I thought we'd had it for sure.
Oh, look, you panicked too much, love, day.
Look, Sandy, maybe we shouldn't do this.
You're not gonna chicken out on me, are you?
What if we get caught? There's no way.
You heard the side. She's going out to whoop-whoop all day.
And all we're doing at school is revising.
Maybe.
Look, no maybe's. We are going shopping in Barrago.
Come on. Here, put this on. It's called Crass.
Crass? Yep.
Come on.
They always hurt the one you love most.
I thought when I came out here, there'd be a part I'd get away from.
But you can't.
There's always somebody ready to hurt you.
Did you see anyone, hear anything?
No, no, no. A car or a kid skylarking, maybe.
I found her in a paddock.
A young calf that someone had left to starve to death.
Loaded her in the truck, brought her here.
We had a special thing between us, me and Melba.
We were outcasts.
She wasn't like the others.
I could always sell them off.
But there was no room out there for Melba.
She was beautiful, Melba. She had to be here. Someone to look after.
I think I'll rush back here for this, mate.
And this George Scott Shutterford song.
For I have loved you oh so long, delighting in your company.
Thank you very much, love. Thank you. That'll do.
I'm sorry, but the opera company is full up for this year.
Next.
Not nervous, are you, darling? We're on in a minute.
Now, remember what I told you, more elevation in the grand jeté.
Keep straight back, tail under, tummy in. Okay?
Yes, mummy.
You won't impress them with a long face.
Darling, I've given up a lot for you. Remember that.
What's your name, mate?
Pardon?
What's your name?
Oh, Banjo Higginbottom.
What do you do?
I'm very, very well, thanks.
No, I said what, not how.
Oh, I'm a poet.
A poet. Springtime in wonders by Banjo Higginbottom.
The grass lies green and dormant on the hills upon which baby lambs roam.
Why don't you try the scoop?
For the Barragan Poetry Society, eh?
Oh, but I'm the president.
Yeah.
Mrs. Perkins, we're ready for your little girl.
Are you all right, love?
Oh, yes, she's fine.
She's just a little nervous about performing in public.
You're right.
Belinda?
Anything wrong?
No.
Belinda?
Darling, what's wrong?
Is it your leg?
It's nothing. I'll be all right.
Belinda, what's wrong?
Just leave me alone.
Belinda.
Miss Ryan?
Are you all right?
Are you okay?
I don't want no visitors.
We figured you might need a hand with the animals.
It used to be a safe place, the country.
People left you in peace, so long as you did the same with them.
They respected that you didn't want any interference.
Well, Miss Ryan, most people still do.
I came out here all these years I've spent minding my own business,
picking up cast off animals and giving them a second chance.
I got no thanks for it and never wanted none.
All I wanted was peace and quiet,
and live on my own with my animals.
And Belinda.
Is there anything we can do?
I don't want any of the animals.
I don't want you to do nothing. Just go.
Hey, I got six jugglers, four pallets,
seven comedians who couldn't get a laugh amongst a lot,
and then they started on the singers.
I don't think any day jobs are going to change hands for a while.
I wish I'd been there to see it.
Good day, Cookie.
Listen, you haven't had anybody in here bragging about shooting up road signs, have you?
No, no. Oh, wait a minute.
Bob did say something about somebody putting a hole in one of Reg Wilson's milk, that's it.
Yeah, he told me.
Any connection with the shooting of Dot Ryan's cow?
I'm not sure, but the sign at Thompson's Corner's going to need replacing.
Oh, the mongrels.
Hey, you look like you could use a decent drink.
What about a large glass of rambuey?
A straight orange juice, Cookie.
Straight orange. I'm with the chair.
Oh, Frank, thanks for dinner last night.
Oh, my pleasure. As I said, a sort of pre-anniversary celebration.
I was wondering if you've got anything specific in mind to celebrate your anniversary.
What do you mean, like a night out?
Or like a trip away somewhere.
You see, Alex and I were wondering if we could do something to help.
Yeah, I mean, she'll need a few days.
Oh, thanks all the same, Doc, but I've got something else in mind.
There you are, son.
Yes, I've been saving up for something special,
something I saw in a burrogan jeweler's.
Ah! What is it for the fifth anniversary?
I know it's gold for the fifth...
No, hang on, I can't wait that long.
It's probably plastic or cardboard for a fifth,
but I thought I'd turn the hands on a little and go for antique.
Oh, nice idea.
Yeah, an antique necklace, as a matter of fact. Beautiful thing.
Well, it sounds a bit pricey.
Yeah, that's the problem. I've been saving up for this for about six months,
you know, putting a little aside here, a little aside there,
and now I find it's $200 more than I thought it'd be.
Uh, listen, Frank, if that's your only problem...
Oh, no, no, no, it's not just the money.
I could take that out of the bank, but then Sheryl would know, wouldn't she?
Well, why don't you get her something else?
You know, I think it's wood. It's wood for the fifth.
Now, you could get her a nice antique jewel box or a card.
No, no, no, no, no, I've got my heart set on that necklace,
and no matter what the hassles, Sheryl's gonna have it.
Right.
Cheers.
Yeah.
Get real hungry
Can't handle the distraction
Got to get a Snickers packed with peanut satisfaction
Get on with it!
But I'm starving.
Fresh roasted peanuts, crunchy peanut butter nougat,
creamy caramel and smooth milk chocolate.
A couple of Snickers, boss.
Snickers satisfied
Really satisfied
Packed with peanuts, Snickers really satisfies.
The AIM Explorer
When we asked some Australians to try it,
67% said the Explorer was better than their old toothbrush.
Because it explores the back of your teeth
where no other toothbrushes have ever seen before.
Nice grip, nice feel, and it has a nice balance to it.
And I really feel as if I've cleaned my teeth properly
when I put the brush back in the cupboard.
Oh, yes, I'd definitely buy that one now.
The AIM Explorer.
Try it for yourself and see how good it really is.
By popular demand, Caseless Coaches are providing
a second World Expo on Brisbane Explorer till departing
October 20th to the World Expo in Brisbane.
Accommodation and meals aboard the Brisbane Explorer
with cruises along the Gold Coast with picture at Brisbane River
including three-day passes at the Expo.
Returning to the Riverland October 31st.
Book now at your local town tourist and to avoid disappointment.
There you go.
Thanks.
Does your mum know you're here?
I think we'd better let her know where you are.
No, I don't want to.
Why not?
I ran away.
I hate ballet.
I knew mummy would be angry with me, but I hate it.
My leg was really hurting too.
I see.
Have you told your mum all this?
She only thinks I was trying to get out of ballet practice.
She wants me to be like her.
She only gave up ballet because she got pregnant with me.
She hates me for it, for mucking everything up for her.
I think we'd better let her know where you are.
Don't worry.
They're fantastic shoes, Sandy.
And you wanted to sit through geography.
Where will we go next?
Maybe I should go and buy that jacket. I saw it fancy.
It's pretty expensive.
Who cares? I've got enough.
I will have if you lend me 20.
Sure, if you want.
Maybe I should go and get those jeans and that pink top.
Let's go and get our henna.
Don't be such a downer.
How will I explain that to the sergeant?
We had a hairdressing lesson today instead of geography.
That's what I'll tell my folks.
Anyway, I'd like to go and buy something else first.
That little black and red number, right?
You'll see.
Thank you for calling me, doctor.
Belinda, sweetheart, where have you been?
I've tried everywhere for you.
Mrs Perkins, do you really need a doctor?
Do you remember I recommended Belinda take a rest from ballet for a while?
Yes, but it was only an audition.
Darling, if I'd known it was that...
How much time does Belinda spend on ballet each week?
Well, there's classes twice a week. That's two hours.
And at home?
We spend an hour each evening practicing in front of the mirror.
I've set up a bar in the spare room for Belinda to practice on.
You see, I am a trained dancer myself.
So you said.
Now, unless my arithmetic's wrong, that's nine hours a week.
That's a lot of time for a girl Belinda's age to be spending on ballet.
To be the best, one has to make sacrifices.
And I don't think nine hours a week is too much,
not when it's what Belinda wants.
It isn't what I want.
Of course it is.
I hate it. I only do it because you want me to.
If I don't, you'll only end up blaming me.
For what?
For coming along and spoiling everything for you.
It wasn't my fault I was born.
I didn't ask you to give up ballet just to look after me.
Darling, I...
I know you're really good.
Everyone says so.
But I don't see why I have to be good just to make up for it.
Darling, I didn't mean to force you.
It's just with the ballet exams coming along.
Mrs Perkins,
I don't think you should be pushing Belinda towards those ballet exams.
Well, frankly, Doctor, I don't see it's any of your business.
Her medical condition is very much my business.
Yes, and you've given her diagnosis.
Now, if you'd mind not interfering...
If Belinda doesn't take a long rest from ballet,
she's going to develop a condition
that can affect her for the rest of her life.
A strained ligament isn't like a bruise.
It won't just go away.
If it isn't rested now, Belinda's going to have trouble
with any physical activity, much less ballet.
In my opinion, the best cure would be
for Belinda to give up ballet for the moment.
Anything I can help you with, sir?
You had an antique necklace in the window.
Yes, we saw that earlier today.
Do you have anything in the shop that's similar?
I'm afraid not. That was a one-off.
We do have some very nice pearl necklaces.
Perhaps you'd like to see some of them.
No, no, I really wanted that antique necklace.
I don't suppose we could get a similar one very quickly.
How quickly?
A couple of days.
It'd have to come from Sydney. It'd be a week at the earliest, I'd say.
Would you like me to see what I can do?
No, no, it's all right.
I had my heart set on that one.
Oh, thanks anyway.
Joe?
Joe!
Hey, you two!
Ralph needs all the sleep he can get.
Oh, it's freezing out there!
Hi, kids.
Even when the temperature drops to near freezing,
the McKenzie's reverse cycle air conditioner
keeps all the McKenzys as warm as toast
for a lot less than you'd think.
Sure beats chopping wood, Ralph.
While George and Ralph enjoy the warmth,
ETSA's Lance Nichols is starting the late shift at Lee Creek.
79, wait for supper.
It takes nearly 100 truckloads of coal
to keep the generators at Bordegaster going for just one day.
So the ETSA team at Lee Creek works round the clock
to make sure that South Australians have the power they need
to warm up in winter and cool down in summer.
Talk to ETSA about the advantages of reverse cycle air conditioning,
the only space heating that cools as well.

This is Wendy Mudge speaking.
The next Three's Company Extras course for teenage girls
will commence in Bury on Wednesday 21st September.
This is a 10-week course and concentrates
on grooming, deportment and social skills.
We'd be happy to send you our course outline,
brochure and general information.
No obligation, of course.
Please phone 846891 during business hours
or write to Post Office Box 471 in Lockston.
Thanks. Right.
Here, darling.
Orange juice, please, Cookie.
I'll be with you in a couple of shakes.
I haven't got a couple of shakes.
All right, all right. Have a hard day, have you?
Nothing that's starting all over again wouldn't fix.
You don't want to talk about it, then, eh?
No, I don't.
You know that old saying?
What old saying?
He who hesitates is lost.
Oh, have you?
Both. Did that around and missed out on the prize.
I don't want to sound dense, but what prize?
I want it to be a surprise, something really special.
If I hadn't tried so hard to stop Cheryl
finding out what I was up to, I could have had it weeks ago.
Anything you say, Sarge.
You see, I know she'd really like it.
Oh, she wouldn't be so extravagant herself,
but, well, now it's gone.
Like my grip on this conversation.
Apart from that, I've got Jo's little rebellion to contend with.
No sooner she gets this job than she's off
wagging school with Sandy Crosby.
I don't sound like Jo.
I saw them in Burrigan shopping instead of swatting.
Well, a day off here and there won't hurt.
Oh, how is she going to become a vet, eh?
Well, she keeps taking a day off here and a day off there.
Well, all I meant was...
Next thing you know, she'll be taking a week off here and a week off there.
Now I've got to nip this in the bud before it goes any further.
You want a top up?
No, thanks.
That goes under the roller, not over it.
Alex.
Orange juice, Doc.
Thanks.
I thought the paper goes over the roller on that time.
Hi, Dr. Fraser.
Do you mind if I join you?
Please do.
I thought you might like to know Belinda's put her name down for the netball team.
It starts next term.
I'm not doing any sport till then.
Including ballet.
Who knows, one day she might make a champion netball player.
Well, ra-ra-team.
Ha-ha.
Todd.
Miss Ryan.
Oh, it's you again.
What is it this time? More injections?
No, we thought we'd better talk to you about coming into hospital.
For that check-up.
Check-ups, check-ups.
You think nobody had anything better to do than have check-ups all day?
When your health isn't what it should be, yes.
My health's fine.
When was the last time you had a square meal?
Now, truthfully.
Was that to you?
Oh, Dot, for heaven's sake, stop being so stubborn.
We only want what's best for you.
Now, living out here on your own isn't.
And who's going to be the judge of that?
All people have ever brought me has been pain.
You and your needles, you and your check-ups.
You know, someone with a heart of stone.
Take him to Melbourne away from me.
The only company I want now is my own.
The sooner you two get out of here, the better.
Oh, look.
It's all right, it's all right.
Come on.
Maggie, look, help me get the car.
I'm all right.
No, look, Dot, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
You're all right, you're all right.
Come on.
There we go.
Careful.
There we go.
Oh, hi, Sarge.
Joe, how was school today?
Fine.
Where are all your parcels?
What parcels?
The parcels that you and Sandy were carrying
when I saw you in Burrigan earlier.
I left them at Sandy's.
And I'm sorry.
But you would have got mad if I told you.
What got into you?
Exams just around the corner and you're off wagging school.
We just wanted to celebrate, that's all.
Sandy's got a job and I got my check.
I've never had that much money in my life.
That's no reason for you to go and squander all your money
in one fell swoop.
I didn't squander it, I bought things.
Yeah, half a Burrigan by the look of it.
Have you got any left?
Yes, of course.
How much?
Not much, eh?
Haven't you got any respect for money?
Don't you understand how hard it is for most people
to save what you've thrown away already?
Thrown away?
Well, most of it went on this, if you must know.
Maybe I should throw that away.
Joe!
Oh, damn.
Oh, God.
Next on 5A this evening, the lotto draws lucky dates and midweek.
That'll be followed by 5A's midweek movie tonight, Threads.
Please note, Threads contains some material
which parents may find disturbing.
This movie is definitely not recommended for children.
Another Toyota Olympic tribute.
In two Olympic Games, Mark Spitz picked up nine gold medals,
including an unprecedented seven in the 1972 Games in Munich.
The first was the 200m butterfly,
and Spitz led an American clean sweep in world record time.
Later that same evening, the final of the 4x100m relay
saw the Americans win convincingly.
In his next three events, the 200m freestyle,
the 100m butterfly and 4x200m freestyle relay,
Spitz added three gold medals to his tally.
If Spitz was to be beaten in Munich,
it would be in the Glamour event, the 100m freestyle.
His main competition would come from teammate Jerry Heidenreich,
but at the finish, it was Spitz again in world record time.
His seventh gold medal came in the 4x100m medley relay.
Mark Spitz, a truly great Olympian.
This new Camry wagon's really sporty.
It's built as a wagon from the ground up,
not like some others with a back-tact on,
so I styled it so much better.
Better aerodynamics, too, a low drag coefficient,
adjustable driver's seat, two steering wheel,
brilliant ergonomics, everything at your fingertips.
Drives like a sedan, fantastic twin-cam,
16 valves, four per cylinder, twice as many as the others.
The Australian Camry twin-cam brings out the driver in you.
How do we stop him?
Easy. Bring up the music.
What a feeling.
They're back, the Comedy Company,
after a two-week break with more laughs and send-ups.
And it goes, it goes, it goes...
Your age? 27.
You drinking the sauce, mate?
I am. Not bad, but...
She is my wife, she is the whole world to me.
Well, she's the same shape.
West End home.

The Comedy Company, Thursday, 9.30 on 5A.
Hi, everyone. Welcome to the Lottery's Lucky Dates
and Cross-Otto Drawers.
It's jackpot time again on Lucky Dates.
Lucky Dates, of course, is the 50 Cents a Chance fun game
with all the prizes going to sport in South Australia,
which is absolutely fantastic.
The draw is supervised by officials from the Lottery's Commission
and the Auditor General's Department,
and our special guest tonight is Gillian Roven,
one of Australia's leading question writers.
Gillian, I'm reading Gawdler this year.
Was it a big thrill for you? It was wonderful, thanks, Ken.
Yes, terrific. Fantastic. OK.
Push that button on Lucky Dates' computer.
Push it nice and hard, Gillian, that's right.
And remember, there's around $20,000 in jackpot money to be won tonight.
And the two dates are March 27 and September 20.
March 27 and September 20.
Remember, you've got one date, certainly money coming your way,
both dates and big bickies.
Gillian, thanks for taking part.
And of course, don't forget, the more who play,
the more we pay with proceeds going to sport in South Australia.
And of course, do remember, final closing time each week is 6pm Wednesday.
But do check your local agent.
And the dates again are March 27 and September 20.
And stand by now for Midweek Price Lotto.
Hi, Australia. Welcome to the Midweek Draw.
Draw number 740 of the Australian Lotto.
The machine's turning, it's gurgling, it's ready to go,
so we might as well drop the balls and play the game.
Do your thing. Yes, they're all in.
It's up and running.
Total prize money tonight, $2,622,024.59.
Just a little bit short of the surplus from the budget.
Just a smidge and short.
First one's in the scoop.
Maybe Mr Keating's bought a ticket.
20 is our first one up tonight.
Division 1 tonight, just short of $700,000.
$694,836.52.
You want to have 20 and you want this one as well.
30.
Of course, our officials are here tonight.
Tats Rep and government supervisors, Kim, Mike and Maria.
All present for tonight's draw.
Third one's in. It's a teenager.
17.
There's our third one down.
We had a lucky winner last week in Division 1 from Herne Hill in Victoria.
Obviously reinvested this weekend in the week a lot,
because it pays big prizes.
Fourth one down tonight is 28.
Of course, the best way to win is your systems entry.
Get a whole heap of people together, get a big systems entry,
pick up multiple prizes.
Looks like a little one for our fifth one.
And it is too. It's number three.
So if you've got those five numbers, you'll be starting to get a little fidgety in your seat.
Bit nervous. You got this one? Oh, you big static.
Probably overjoyed. 13.
There's the big six. 20, 30, 17, 28, 3 and 13.
Now the first of the two subs to give you a hand in Division 2 and Division 5.
First sub tonight, 37.
My next birthday.
A horrid number.
Here's the lucky last one for tonight.
Oh yes, this is definitely the start of the sliding age.
The big four, 40, is our second sub.
So our numbers tonight, 20, 30, 17, 28, 3, 13.
Fifth-lashing subs, 37 and 40.
I hope somebody's got that money.
Of course, if you don't have the money, that means we'll have more to play with next Wednesday.
So all the best. Make sure you get your tickets in.
I'll catch you soon, Bob. Bye.

In an urban society everything connects.
Each person's needs are fed by the skills of many others.
Our lives are woven together in a fabric.
But the connections that make society strong also make it vulnerable.
Peaceful.
Oh I love to live out in the country.
What a heck. Why not.
It's dead. No to do.
Just imagine living down there.
Take you an hour to get to the nearest boozer.
Oh I know. But the air is lovely.
You know I love it this time of year. The spring coming up.
You know it's seen the names just coming out on that bush over there.
What are you looking at.
Trying to make out where our houses.
I shared a pair of binoculars.
Good lights at United.
What time is it.
I don't have to have school all night.
Oh honestly.
We've come out here for a drive.
We're surrounded by all this countryside and all you can think about is football.
All I can think about.
Oh stop it.
You've got no consideration at all sometimes.
You think you can do what you like.

Barnsley nil.

This film shot secretly by a West German television crew on Tuesday shows one of the Soviet convoys on the move in Northern Iran.
The convoys were first spotted by United States satellites on Monday moving across three of the mountain passes leading from the Soviet Union.
The Soviet foreign minister has defended the incursions and has accused the United States of deliberately prompting last week's coup in Iran.
Speaking on his arrival in Vienna Mr Gromyko claims the Soviet vehicles are responding to appeals from the legitimate government.
Are you being serious?
Of course I'm being serious.
The Soviet military is alive.
American covert activities in Iran in the period of Jimmy who preceded the coup as...
Jimmy?
Are you sure?
Definitely.
I'm not only as regular as clockwork.
Anyway what if I am?
It's not the end of the world is it?
We'll look at the programs later this evening on BBC One.
And don't forget number 24 today.
What?
I said don't forget number 24 today. You're gonna run your own with them things on all time you know.
I'm not gonna run away.
Honestly Jimmy you want your bloody head seen to.
I think he wants something else seen to as well.
Don't blame me. It's not my fault.
Who's fault is it then you daft boy?
Don't go blaming it all on Ruth Jimmy. That's not fair.
It's irrelevant who's to blame now.
The point is what are you going to do about it?
We're gonna get married.
What for?
Because we want to what do you think?
You don't have to you know Jimmy.
I won't want you thinking we were pushing you into it.
Nobody's pushing us into out.
It's what we want we've decided.
I suppose you've talked about an abortion.
Of course we have.
But neither of us want that.
When I get married and have a baby.
Mum what's that mean? Abortion?
Michael!
Never mind what it means. You'll get on with your game. It's nothing to do with you.
I'm thinking of getting engaged anyway.
It doesn't make much difference really.
It just brought it forward a bit that's all.
You know what you're doing Jimmy.
It's a hell of a time to be starting a family in the middle of a recession.
What are you doing with that?
I'm not hurting it.
Jimmy's getting married.
I'm not hurting it.
I'm not hurting it.
I'm not hurting it.
I'm not hurting it.
I'm not hurting it.
I'm not hurting it.
Jimmy's getting married.
Are you?
I might be why?
Well it's a bit sudden isn't it?
You're not even engaged.
How do you know?
Anyway it's nothing to do with you so keep your nose out.
Are you getting married in a church?
You're in a registry office.
Allison what's an abortion?
Michael I've told you once.
Oh so that's it.
I'll give you a good hiding lad if you don't learn to keep your mouth shut.
What for? I haven't done anything yet.
I'll be right out.
I hope you two are both satisfied now.
What are you blaming me for?
I haven't done anything wrong.
I haven't done anything wrong.

RUMBLING
Do you think we'll get on all right?
I can't say why not. They're ever so nice.
I just wish we were meeting in different circumstances, that's all.
Making it sound like a funeral.
It is a bit embarrassing, isn't it?
It ought to have been a happy occasion.
It is a happy occasion.
Well, I'm happy anyway.
Must say it's brought out a very determined streak in you, isn't it?
Didn't you hear what I said, Gordon? Mr and Mrs Cafferty are here.
Come on, then, turn the television off.
Come on, thank you.
Oh, Duke. Duke.
Hello.
Mrs Camp. Mr Camp. Mr Mayfield.
How do you do? Have you done?
There, Mr and Mrs Camp. Hello.
How do you do? Hello.
Thank you very much.

The Soviet Union has protested strongly to the United States about what it calls dangerous provocations by American warships in the Gulf of Oman yesterday.
This follows an incident in which serious damage was caused to the Soviet cruiser Kirov when she was in collision with the US destroyer Callahan.
It's a bit of a state, but it's got possibilities.
I love that door stripped down, all this paper off and the walls white.
She says there's about 16 layers on here.
My mother and dad will help us, I'm sure they will.
My dad will give us help as well.
I'll be glad there's something to do.
What are you laughing at?
Just thinking of his space, but my mother said we could borrow his redundancy money.
Oh, don't.
We could go fancy on a trip to Bermuda on it. Looks like we're in Blackpool again.
Oh dear. I like the gardens. I think it's lovely for children to have somewhere to play.
I'd really like to build an aviary down there.
Oh, you and your birds.
Makes you feel funny though, doesn't it?
What do you mean?
Oh, to go home, being married, having children. We'd have to put ears on you, wouldn't it?
Don't be silly. Don't be lovely.
I just know it will.
Here, love.
Dad.
...and for the vessel's disappearance.
The unprovoked attack on our submarine and the move into Iran are the actions of a reckless and warlike power.
I have to warn the Soviets in the clearest possible terms that they risk taking us to the brink of an armed confrontation with incalculable consequences for all mankind.
Britain has emergency plans for war.
If central government should ever fail, power can be transferred instead to a system of local officials dispersed across the country.
In an urban district like Sheffield, there is already a designated wartime controller. He's the city's peacetime chief executive.
If it should suddenly become necessary, he can be given full powers of internal government.
When or if this happens depends on the crisis itself.
The United States government has been forced, reluctantly, to take action to safeguard what it believes are legitimate Western interests in the Middle East.
This administration has therefore resolved to send units of its rapid deployment force, the U.S. Central Command, into Western Iran.
We are confident that the Soviet Union will take note of our resolve and will desist from its present perilous course of action.
The Blount of Football is an important score coming in from the Hawthorns, where West Brom have taken the lead over.
First Division lead is Manchester United. Is West Brom one, Manchester United nil? Mackenzie getting that all-important goal.
Thank you very much, sir.
Mary, I want you to contact the following people and have them in my office in ten minutes' time.
I don't care what they're doing, they're to drop in and get here right away. Is that clear? Right. Got a pencil? Okay.
Alan Bolton, George Cox, Roger Fisher, Susan Russell, U.S. Administration, Tony Barnes, Wright Chamberlain.
It's busy for a Wednesday, isn't it? I think it was Christmas.
What about the food situation? What about fire? What else is there?
Corned beef? It's not from Argentina. What about supplies to the first aid post? Is that all? That's not going to get us very far, is it?
I'm sure I don't know, if I'm honest. We've heard nothing about emergency powers as yet.
Anyway, don't make a song and dance about it. Just get on with it. Don't tell anybody you don't have to.
The remaining units of the United States 10th Airborne Division, which parachuted into western Iran yesterday,
have taken up defensive positions near Isfahan, designed, according to the spokesman, to block any possible move towards the oil fields in the Persian Gulf.
Squadrons of American B-52 bombers have been arriving at U.S. bases in 30 since late on Tuesday evening, together with three AWACS early warning aircraft.
It's believed that they'll be used in the supporting role to the Middle East Task Force.
Alright, John. The 84th Airborne Division has also been placed on the state of combat readiness and is said to be able to...
Come to get me a hand then? No chance. I've done enough for one day, I'm knackered. Not too knackered to be going out, though, I see.
It's different, isn't it? Anyway, I need a break on me down at house every night this week.
Nothing coming on? Not too bad. Just trying to get the living room and bedroom finished before moving.
Well, this is where you take some flowers down when you're finished. Third since D-time. Aye.
Where are they going to? Finningley, I suppose. Why don't you pop down to WHO's office and buy yourself an aircraft spotter's book? You can start on your orbit and make a change from gardening.
You can laugh, but there's something going on, I'm telling you. There'll be something going on tonight when I've had a few bites.
Don't be going mad. You haven't only got yourself to think about now, you know. Why not? Might as well enjoy myself while I'm single. Not a lot long to go now, you know.
You could be right there.
I'm always traveling, I love being free. So I keep leaving the sun and the sea.
But my heart is waiting over the phone. I still call Australia mine.
Your car's exhaust system is critical to its performance, so to ensure it remains in first class condition, treat it to the highest quality of a Berkeley Australia exhaust system.
Berkeley have been manufacturing mufflers and exhaust parts for over 25 years, and they have the largest chain of exhaust shops in Australia.
Nobody knows exhausts like the men from Berkeley, and that's why Berkeley is number one.
And there's a Berkeley Australia exhaust center in all major Riverland towns.
See Barry at the Stewart Highway Wakery, Roger at Book Penong Terrace, Lockston, Dennis and Mike at Renmark Avenue, Renmark, and Ken at Hugh Street Ferry.
They're your Berkeley Australia exhaust specialists.
Come on, hit it off.
I like that I have.
What's up with you? Getting into journey for when you're married?
Worldwide I'm glad you're out the super power competition. In a statement issued a short time ago by the Pentagon in Washington, the United States has accused the Soviet Union of moving nuclear warheads into their new base at Mashhad in northern Iran.
According to the American spokesman, the warhead...
Hey, we're watching that.
Right, right.
...aboard two giant Antonov transport planes late yesterday afternoon and were immediately moved undercover into temporary hangars.
See that? I'm watching that thing about Far East and it goes and turns its own way.
Far East? Wow, what's going on there?
Iran. Americans have just said Russia has been...
Iran? That's not a Far East, you pelican. That's the Middle East. China, Hong Kong, that's a Far East.
So what? It's far enough, isn't it?
So it's a bit of an ace myself. Scarborough and Skegness.
Skeggy? I'd rather watch my toenails grow than believe you.
Anyway, never mind that rubbish. What about these two birds to ace to this turn?
NATO's position on the United States action in sending its task force...
Your dad's right, you're not getting serious.
Well, there's no weakening about it, is there? Might as well enjoy ourselves as we can.
I know, but don't it scare you what it might lead to?
It only bloody scares me that there's no weakening about it, is there?
I'll tell you one thing, if the bomb does drop, I'm going to be pissed out of my mind and strut underneath it when it happens.
Come on, you miserable bugger. It's all these family responsibilities.
You're acting like a married man already.
I'm not belonging, are you?
Well, you might as well make the best of it once you can, haven't you?
I'm not checking these two birds up, then.
You can't do that.
Come on, it might be the last chance you'll get.
Anyway, if we're having a coppice, might as well go out with a bang and that's when I'll be going.
You haven't been in bits and ways, have you, in a door, I suppose?
Well, the bomb's a job.
And we've just heard that the Prime Minister has issued a message of support for the United States government.
The statement, just released from Downing Street, condemns what it calls reckless Soviet actions, which can only worsen an already grave situation.
To the Director of Technical Services, please let me know what fuel stocks are currently held in each depot.
Please ensure that tanks are kept topped up and that no fuel is used except for essential works only.
...and I'm sure we'll have a lot of trouble.
There's been no response from the Soviet government as yet to the United States' ultimatum
delivered to Moscow last night. The American note calls for joint withdrawal of all US
and Soviet forces from Iran by noon on Sunday. However, NATO observers in West Germany have
reported increasing buildups of Warsaw Pact troops and vehicles at points along the central
frontier this morning. The Ministry of Defence has announced it's sending more troops to Europe
to reinforce the British commitment to NATO. The first contingents left RAF Bries-Norton
to the north of the country. The day has been marked by a number of demonstrations up and
down the country, reflecting support for and against the government's decision to reinforce
Europe. Although most of these passed off without incident, police made a number of
arrests for disorderly conduct at rallies in the north and midlands. The government
has taken control of British airways and all cross-channel ferries. They say it's a temporary
step to help move troops to Europe. Thousands are stranded at Heathrow and Gatwick. And
the Royal Navy is to guard the North Sea oil rigs. The MOD says it's a prudent precautionary
measure. This time they are playing with at best the destruction of life as we know it,
and at worst total annihilation. You cannot win a nuclear war. Now just suppose the Russians
cannot win this war. What exactly would they be winning? What would they have conquered?
Well I'll tell you. All major centres of population and industry will have been destroyed. Industry?
What industry? We ain't got no industry in Sheffield! Yes, if the money hadn't been spent
on nuclear weapons you would have built up industry. Get back to bloody Russia! Who would
have put money into welfare? Who would have found alternative sources of energy? Industry!
Industry would have been destroyed. Oil refineries would have been destroyed. All our water would
have been polluted. The soil would have been irradiated. Farm stock would be dead, diseased
or dying. The Russians would have conquered a corpse of a punty.
In our spirit. Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.

Since the expiry of the American Ultimatum to the Soviet Union at noon yesterday, there
have been intense diplomatic efforts to mediate between the two countries. There is still
no information from Iran itself. No news teams have been allowed in or out of the country
since phone and telex links were cut on Friday evening. Questioned in the House this morning,
the Foreign Secretary said he had no definite news to report and that it would be unhelpful
to speculate in the absence of any hard information from the area. There's been a run on tin
food, sugar and other storable items which is causing shortages in some areas. Spokesman
for the main supermarket chain said that panic buying is unnecessary. Fuel shortages are
hindering recent buy in some areas but overall there is no shortage of stocks. They urged
the pocket to calm down. 40p? That's scandalous. There were only 26p last week. It all was
shot somewhere else you know if we're not satisfied. Honestly there's a national emergency
going on and all you can think about is lining your pockets. Look nobody's forcing you to
buy them. Put them back on shelves if you don't want them. Yes I will. I'd soon as
staff first. Excuse me mum. They've started fighting mum. Who has? The Americans and the
Russians. It's just been on the news. Dad says you've got to come home now. Hey you
have to pay for them things. In response to today's news of the outbreak of hostilities
between vessels of the United States and Soviet navies, a special session of parliament has
this evening passed an emergency powers act. There will be a special announcement at the
end of this bulletin and details will be given then of how this affects you. The prime minister
is expected to address the nation on the international crisis later this evening. A statement issued
earlier from Downing Street said the government is optimistic that a peaceful negotiated settlement
to the conflict is at hand. In the meantime the public is urged to remain calm and to
continue normally.
You alright love? It's noisy. Must be pubs turning out.
but the policy of the government is quite clear on the matter. We are urging
people to keep calm. Do the moonlight flip then. No we're going over to our Jackson
Lincoln so our things get sorted out. I reckon we should be safer over there. Carol you stop
messing about there and come inside the house and do something to help. Yeah. Sure I'll
be safe anywhere as far as I can see. I don't know we have a better chance of surviving in
country really haven't we. I mean weird high jack leaves us on here. Rore houses and a pub.
I don't think they're going to bomb that have they. Well I think that's about it Ron. Bob!
Carol! Have you turned that gas off? I hope so we don't want the whole street blowing
up while you're away. Come on Carol. Spot! I'm coming! Can't find our spot. Well he
was here a minute ago wasn't he? Have you looked inside the house? We looked upstairs
along the street next door to our neighbours garden hall over. It's ridiculous all this
spot. Spot! He was here a minute ago. Come on. We'll be here in a minute. I know he will
be. Spot! Come on! Come on love. Spot! Come on love we're going to look. We're going
to look. We are. Come on. Mom! Spot! Nothing will happen. Come on we're not standing about
here all day waiting for a bloody dog. Get in. We can't leave him. Carol get in. Get in.
Spot! Spot! Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Get in you bloody thing. See you then
down slope. Watch from here it will do you no harm. mano! ICED GO HOME! Is that Rozahan

Something here.
Yes, I understand. Do I have to go right away?
No? When?
Yes, I see.
Local authorities have been given the power to suspend certain peacetime functions
and to requisition premises and materials for civil defence purposes.
A government spokesman said that this was a precautionary move only.
It was not a cause for alarm.
It was not a cause for alarm.
All right, love.
All right.
Take your time.
The AA and RAC have reported heavy congestion on roads up and down the country,
particularly those leading to Wales and the West Country.
The police are urging motorists not to travel unless absolutely necessary
and, if it is essential, to use only minor roads
and leave motorways and intercity trunk routes clear for official traffic.
A full list of designated essential service routes is posted outside your local authority headquarters.
It includes the M1, M18, A63 and A629.
This is an essential service route.
Unless you have official or essential business.
Trying to get across to relatives in Lincolnshire.
Not this way, you're not.
Essential service is only this road. You'll have to find another route, I'm afraid.
Well, that's bloody ridiculous. You can't just stop people like that.
Excuse me. Where are you going?
I'm sorry, love. You can't go in there.
You can't stop people like this.
I'll tell you what. Tri-Junction 3536 and the M1 have opened up the hard shore
of single-line traffic all the way.
Can you imagine what it would be like in Chocobron?
If I were you, I'd go home and sit tight. That's what they're advising people to do.
There's growing evidence overnight from scientists and observers in many countries
that there have been two nuclear explosions in the Middle East.
There's no official confirmation of what has happened and the Foreign Office in London...
I've put half a dozen in.
You can fetch some more if you like.
No, that'll be plenty.
Well, come in to improvise, then.
Right.
Clive, you don't think anything's really going down, do you?
No, it's just a precaution, that's all.
You had a shave this morning.
You should never have said you'd do it. You don't have to.
You won't get the sack if you refuse.
Look, Marjorie, it's difficult for me as well, do you know?
I don't want to go and leave you and the children.
Well, then, why are you going?
Well, Sunday's got to pick up the pieces of...
BEEP
Why didn't you say something before if you were worried about it?
I never said anything when I went away on those courses.
Sutton here.
Yes, in half an hour's time.
I should be getting off now, Father, they ought to be getting busy.
Well, you should come and send some.
Why should I know?
Marjorie, leave that.
I'll ring you later.
What?
Yes?
Yes.
It is imperative, while there is still time left,
that the TUC call a general strike in protest against this disaster which faces us all.
That's why I'll destroy this party!
For he is still tining to avert disaster.
If we act resolutely and show both the Russians and the Americans
that we will have more trouble with their war-hungering...

What about the Falklands?
Listen, mate, there's nobody more passionate than I am.
I've been trying to get us out of the common market for bloody years.
But first...
Ladies, do not play into their hands.
This is a peaceful demonstration.
We are exercising our right of free speech.
The police have no right to stop this demonstration.
You won't play into their hands!
You have no right to do nothing!

One pound fifty, put some of your lives on the line!
Morning, Clive.
Morning, Alan. What's it like in there?
It's a bit primitive. Take a look.
Well, we'll get it organised.
Where the hell is everybody? There's only half of them here.
You know, Steve, the information officer.
Where the hell is everybody?
Geoff just rang in, said his car's broken down.
That's not all, is it? How many are missing?
About ten.
Get on the phone and tell them I want them here immediately.
Which is my desk?
Straight through.
Mind your head.
Don't see any sign of the emergency committee, do you?
I know those bloody councillors along with them.
Well, they're not getting paid for this, are they?
Well, this is it. It's the best I can do.
Dr Colver, Regional Health Authority.
How are you doing? How are things going?
We're doing our best.
In the last few days, emergency headquarters like this
have been hastily improvised up and down the country,
in the basements of town halls and civic centres.
The time has now come to make everything ready
for you and your family in case a near attack happens.
This does not mean that war is bound to come,
but there is a risk of this,
and we must all be prepared for it.
When you hear the attack warning,
you and your family must take cover at once.
And you must be ready to go.
I'll be ready to go.
You and your family must take cover at once.
Do not stay out of doors.
If you are caught in the open, lie down.
If you leave your home, your local authority
may take it over for homeless families.
And if you move, the authorities in the new place
will not help you with food, accommodation,
or other essentials.
You are better off in your own home.
Stay there.
If anyone dies,
watch your step.
You may be safe.
You may be taken to a hospital.
You may be killed.
You may die.
You may die.
You may die.
You may die.
You may die.
If anyone dies while you are kept in your fallout room, move the body to another room in the house.
Label the body with name and address and cover it as tightly as possible in polythene, paper, sheets or blankets.
If however, you have had a body in the house for more than five days and if it is safe to go outside,
then you should bury the body for the time being in a trench or cover it with earth and mark the spot of the burial.

Here are some ideas for making your inner revenue.
One, make a lean tool with flimping doors or strong boards
rested against an inner wall.
You all right, love?
By fixing a length of wood along the floor.
I'm just pretty sick again.
Fill further protection of bags or boxes of old books.
Awful.
I'll go back to bed.
Don't worry about it, love.
It's not gonna last for a week or two.
No.
Close the two open ends with boxes of earth or sand
or heavy furniture.
What are we doing work for, you and tell me not coming in?
Why, is anybody there?
Put only one or two in yesterday.
What's the matter with the fork?
Can't get anything down.
The line's dead.
I think we ought to be getting the rest of the things
down to the cellar now.
The time has now come to make everything ready for you
and your family in case an air attack happens.
This does not mean that war has finally come,
but there is a risk of that and we must all be prepared.
When you hear the attack warning,
you and your family must take cover at once.
Do not stay out of doors.
Hello, counter.
This is Sheffield District, testing one, two, three, four.
Please report my signal.
Over.
Well, whose responsibility is it then?
We've all got families.
Look, just get down here.
There's nine other people.
Look, I've got a serious public order problem.
I need at least an extra six PSUs.
Yeah, but when?
Look, I'm using traffic wardens already.
Many of these officers have had no training at all.
Some have learned of their emergency role
only in the last few days.
And almost all are unsure of their exact duties.
I have a lot of files in currency too.
Oh, 56%.
I suppose you ought to take this one off as well.
Yeah, but wait, it's all getting scratched to pieces.
It's only just been painted, Bill.
Well, it's barely getting blown to pieces, isn't it?
What's it got to do with school then?
We're getting delayed.
Oh, I don't know.
What did it sound telling?
I can't remember whether it said school closed or not.
Oh, they are closed.
It said so on the news.
We're all staying home.
Are you sure?
Of course I am.
I thought they were sending notes out to all of you.
Well, it always looked like.
Oh, great.
I had an history test this morning.
Oh, I'll listen.
Put down the curbs and see if there's any food left.
Like what?
Anything red, tin stuff.
Bring what you can.
And take me first.
I knew you could have built one of these in here.
Oh, then my dead body is.
I want to know something more definite, Bill,
before we stop dripping this place to pieces.
Can I help you?
Yeah, that'll be great.
You'll be able to sleep in it.
They're like going camping.
Candles and matches.
The most widespread danger is fallout.
Fallout is dust that is sucked up from the ground by the explosion.
Fallout can kill.
This Friday and Saturday,
Australian machinery auctions will conduct
one of the biggest unreserved clearing sales
ever seen in country Victoria.
It's an auction of manufacturer's surplus machinery parts,
including brand new Perkins and Ford engines,
radiators, tractor fuel tanks, tail shafts,
hydraulics, pumps and electric motors.
Everything from nuts and bolts to shipping containers,
plus a range of four-wheel drives, hutes and trucks,
all to be auctioned undercover this Friday,
commencing at 10am in the Australian Machinery Auction Building,
Caronlea Street, Swan Hill, opposite the saillards.
If you'd like to see the biggest range of in-ground pools in South Australia,
they're here, at Omega Pools in Dernancourt.
Come and find out about swimming pools, shapes and sizes,
about types of pools, about maintenance,
and why an Omega Pool will give you real value for money.
Yes, come and see the biggest range of in-ground pools in South Australia,
all in one place, at Omega Pools in Dernancourt.
It'll be worth the drive, I promise you.
Before all the pageantry and ceremony,
before all the exhilaration and anguish,
and before the world turns its attention to the arenas of soul,
some athletes will already have been down the loneliest road of all,
striving to go faster, higher and stronger than anyone has gone before.
But their journey has begun, the 1988 Olympic Games.
From September 17th to October 2nd, see them here on 5A Sport.
It's 8.30am, 3.30 in the morning in Washington.
Over the past four days, neither the president nor his senior staff
will have had more than a few hours' rest.
This is when they may be asleep.
This is when Western response will be slowest.
As we expected, nearly all the supermarket shelves are empty,
but we've managed to get the warehouses controlled by the police.
As yet, we haven't located all the root vegetable clumps on local farms,
but stocks of sugar, wheat, flour and rice are quite good.
Attack warning! Attack warning!
Attack warning! Attack warning!
It's for bloody real! Is it?
Right, get to your stations!
Get them generated lines!
Shut the doors!
As soon as you can, every single scrap of information you've got on casualty is put.
I must have...
Get your heads down!
Look, we can't sell any to me, I'll have to see bosses about it!
It's a bloody joinery, not a tin bar!
You can't just have a face like that!
Go and get a titty signed or something!
Come on, quick, get down!
Please, it's gone.
Everything's dead.
Why didn't you pull the bloody aerial out?
Get the standby working, lads!
Come on!
Aaaaaaaaaah!
Aaaaaaaaaah!
Bloody hell!
Well done, you got yourself some!
Aaaaaaaaaah!
Come on, I just pissed out of it!
Jesus!
Jesus Christ, the dummy!
The dummy!
Where are you going?
We're trying to get some notes!
Jesus, all right!
Oh, shit!
Come on, we've got to get a large stuff off!
Come on, get it off!
We've got to get the mattress on the bottom!
That's right!
Put it down!
That's one's on finning, lads!
Hang on, there's something on the airport, I think!
Come on, let's get it off!
Jesus!
Come on!
Michael!
Michael!
Michael!
Michael!
Michael!
Michael!
Michael!
Michael!
Take it easy, don't worry!
Well done!
Well done, well done!
How long can you keep that going?
Less than two weeks, I'm OK.
First aid kit, quickly!
We've lost county again, I think.
Aerials must have blown.
You're on the roof!
Switch the lights off in the corner when you get there.
Can we erase any districts?
What about radio amps?
Can we improvise an aerial?
We'll try.
Get the help for first aid kit!
It's on this shelf at the back!
It's all blocked out here, I can't shift a thing!
How is he?
Forget the first aid kit, bring me something to cover him up with.
Oh, please!
Help!
Help!
Everybody all right?
What?
Help!
Help!
Jesus Christ, not another one!
How's it going?
It's Stocksbridge Police!
What about rescue?
Is there anything you can do?
Over!
Give me another bin liner.
What is your radiac reading?
What about the depth of it?
I repeat, what is your radiac reading?
Over!
Congress, it's too high!
You've got to get your men under cover!
Can you get us through to the county central headquarters?
Over!
Can you patch us through?
Over!
Stocksbridge, are you with fire stations?
Over!
Have you heard anything from them?
They've come here!
They've lost them.
What about Hildesbrough and Stocksbridge?
Something from Hildesbrough and Stocksbridge, not too bad.
Windows rolled in and structural damage, but not too bad.
Ask him where that last one was!
Switch that thing off, will you, Gordon?
The first fallout dust settles on Sheffield.
It's an hour and 25 minutes after the attack.
An explosion on the ground at Crewe has sucked up this debris and made it radioactive.
The wind has blown it here.
This level of attack has broken most of the windows in Britain.
The windows are open to the sky.
Some of the lethal dust gets in.
In these early stages, the symptoms of radiation sickness and the symptoms of panic are identical.
You all right, Ruth?
Ruth!
I couldn't help it.
It just came on.
Don't worry about it, love.
It's not your fault. We've all got it.
I know, but I'm so ashamed.
It's just the shock.
It's just the shock.
The shock, isn't it, Gordon?
It's like being a little baby again.
Lie down.
Come home and clean Grandma.
Ruth, be careful with that, love.
You don't know how long it's going to have to last us.
Come on, Ruth, just sit there and do something, will you?
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
Oh, Michael.
Michael, I've got to find him.
You stop here.
I've got to find him.
I'll go and look for him.
Where's he come from?
You stop here.
It's glory to Lord.
Stop here, please. I'll go and look for him.
No, I've got to come. No!
Help me, please.
Oh, my God.
Michael!
Michael!
Michael!
We haven't heard from County HQ for two days.
Well, who the hell else have you tried?
We'll send another motorcycle.
There are no roads left.
All the people here will be dead already.
It's completely flattened.
Around here, 50% will still be alive, but here,
they're as good as dead already.
They've probably received a lethal dose
What about here?
It'll be pretty heavy there.
If the wind's still blowing up,
then the west-southwest
is in direct line from crew.
Oh, 800 rads,
1,000, difficult to say.
Depends what sort of cover they've got, of course.
If they've got a decent cellar,
we'll put it on the radio.
All right.
This is not a radio.
There's no way of getting anything out.
Listen.
Yeah.
Yes, I'll pass the message on.
I expected to do.
I've got a list of vehicles.
Listen.
Hey, that's all.
I've got a message from Riverland Valley Police.
They've managed to get through
to beat Chief Workstepper.
They've got some vehicles on the road,
but they're nearly out of fuel.
What the bloody hell is going on?
They've got no fuel.
What the bloody hell have they been doing with it all?
They didn't tell me.
They just said they want to know whether they can get some more.
And they've got no food.
Oh, God.
Let me get on with it, okay?
Here you are, Mother.
Something to eat for you.
Better leave her.
The rest will do her good.
Well, at least it won't go cold.
Ruth.
Ruth, love.
Come on, love.
You'll have to eat something.
But you'll have to, love.
It's not just you now, you know.
The baby needs some food as well.
Come on, love.
Come on, love.
I don't care about this baby anymore.
Oh, Ruth.
Don't say things like that.
There's no point.
There's no point with Jimmy dead.
But you don't know Jimmy.
He is. He is.
I know he is.
We're breathing in all this radiation.
All the time, my baby.
Oh, don't be mean.
I've been deformed.
I've been deformed.
I've been deformed.
Please.
Oh, no.
I listen to Jimmy.
All of them gone.
I listen.
I listen to Michael.
All dead.
No.
We don't know that.
It might be him. It might be Seth.
Somewhere.
I wish I were, Dad.
I wish it were me.
I wish I could go to all places.

Burke and Wills have nothing on us.
Let's go home.
Another great dirty weekend.
I'll say.
Let's get cleaned up then I'll start on these.
Cold power takes care of this kind of dirt.
In fact, nothing's better than cold power on really tough dirt nodas in cold water.
Hey, this looks great.
Smells terrific.
Ready, Burke?
After you, Wills.
Nothing beats cold power in cold water.

And the Water Advisory Board to recommend a 6% increase in irrigation rates.
Plus sport and weather information.
Join me for the late news tonight at 12.20 on 5A.
How far has this gone back?
The bloody four floors have come down on this.
It could go back for yards and yards.
Try again, Gordon.
Still nothing coming through.
It must be a lot further up.
How much stuff do you think's on top of us?
Most of town hall, I should think.
Well, when will you be able to get to us?
Can't get listing in.
What about the army? What about the military?
The water just broke.
We've not heard from county yet.
If you don't release some food soon, we'll never get things under control.
Well, you try getting through to them. It's bloody hot.
I've got starving mobs in Shallow, Ecclesfield, Bromfield.
Look, it's not our decision anyway.
It's up to Zillow to authorise the release of both stocks,
and then it becomes accounted to city.
We can't get through to county.
What are we going to do? Let them starve?
Look, even if we did have the authority...
Gordon, we're on our own. You've got the authority.
It's about bloody time you did something with it.
What's the point of wasting food on people who are going to die anyway?
I agree with Clive. The food stocks are not going to last long.
A lot of people just didn't stock up.
How could they? The bloody shops were empty.
And now they're coming out of the shelters.
I know it sounds callous, but I think we should hang on to the little food we've got.
And I need that food to force people to work.
There's about $12,000 of our fat hospit at my station.
Go and make us a cup of tea, Sharon.
Go and make me a chaff, I'm not your bloody wife anymore.
Then you better go to Ferry.
They've had two hundred rats in here.
You have got to save some...
That's for your own family.
They're pulling the brakes apart.
Look, I don't care how much trouble they're causing.
We're not sending our men in there with radiation as high as that.
Look, I know that.
But what's the point? They're all going to die on that patch anyway.
Bill, just get...
Get me a drink. Please, a drink.
I'll see if I can... I'll see if I can find anything.
I won't... I won't be long.
I won't be long.
Just a minute. Just a minute, I think.
That's it. That's it.
Just a minute. For God's sake.
Just a minute.
That's it.
That's it.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Oh, God.
Oh, look at you. Just a minute. Just a minute.
Just a minute.
Look at you.
Can you manage that?
All right, put it down here a minute. Put it down here.
Give us one of the blankets.
Come on. Come on.
Oh, my God.
Roos.
Roos!
Roos.
Roos.
Roos.
Come on, down you go.
Careful.
Careful.
Radiation levels are still dangerous.
