Here is the news, and this is jon snow reading it. Hitler's troops continue to overrun europe, but so far he hasn't attempted to invade the shores of Britain. However, the threat is always present and home guard units throughout the country are encouraged to keep on their toes by the use of various mock exercises at the church hall.
In warmington on sea, captain mannering is addressing his platoon right. Man now pay attention. I want to develop the rest of this evening's parade to talking about the big exercise Next sunday.
Excuse me, mr mandolin, mr ism, you said last night that we weren't to talk about it. I meant to anyone outside our own ranks. Oh see, mr speaks up mister with regard to what you have just uttered, sir, when you say outside our own ranks, do you mean that i, as a large corporal, must not talk to fraser here, for instance, him being only a private hey? What do you mean? Only our private Privates are the backbone of an army.
I must agree. Mr fraser privates are very important. Of course they are mr goff.
Of course they are, I mean if the army didn't have any privacy there'd be no one for the ncos to shout at all. Right man, oh now, what are you virgin? What are you doing here? I've got to do the dusting, it's overdue, i'm trying to hold a parade. I can't help that cleanliness is next to godliness.
You know oh very well, but I don't want any noise. Don't worry! I'm a very quiet duster. I pay attention, as I was about to say this exercise next sunday is without doubt the most difficult we have ever had to tackle.
Can you all see this diagram which i've drawn on blackboard good, now, listen carefully! This box i've drawn Here represents the water mill which captain square and the escape platoon will be holding now. The water mill couldn't be in a worse position as far as we, the attacking force are concerned, you'll observe that it stands right in the middle of open ground and our job is to cross this open ground and detect and place an explosive charge inside the Mill And we have two hours to do it. Any suggestions to speak, sir, just just a minute june third year.
Here's captain mandarin. Are you sure that's the fastest? You can dust all. I can't just quickly captain mandarin his reverence likes the job done properly very well, but get on with it.
My sister isn't very thoughtsy about dusting. She says people are either born good, dusters or they're. Not.
She said I just moved the dust about, so i'm not allowed to do it anymore. Thank you now jones. What was your suggestion? How about a tunnel a tunnel? Yes, you see that old wall about 50 yards away from the mill to the north.
Yes, what about it? Well, so if we all get down behind that wall and then dig a big hole downwards, then When we are nice and deep downwards, all of a sudden, we start to dig sideways sideways and sideways, and when we've gone far enough, we tunnel upwards and upwards and Upwards and we should be inside the water mill hi or in australia, I think you're getting into the realms of fantasy. Now there he goes again, mr godfrey, with his realms of fantasy. I don't know why I bother Margie's playing with fire now, i'm in charge of his meat, stop bumbling now.
Are there any more suggestions? No well, then, let us try and take some examples from history. Now, who's got the first historical example. What about king alfred burning? His cakes, what bearing has that on our problem, I don't know said you - wanted some examples from History.
Examples of people trying to get in side places now. Has anybody got any other examples that are relevant? Well, i've got an idea, well done wilson. What is it in shakespeare's macbeth, one of the characters dressed his army up as bushes, so that they could move across open ground you see in order to attack the castle, dress them up as bushes? Yes, I must admit that sounds like quite a good idea.
I once went to a fancy dress as a dance dress, dressed as a christmas tree. I I i look pretty with tinsel and fairy lights around me really. Perhaps I could be a christmas tree this time or possibly godfrey, but I think on this occasion you may have to dispense with the decoration what a pity And anyway it isn't christmas commentary.
I have been thinking just a minute, fraser virtue. How much longer are you going to be dusting? Oh, I don't know, but i've got to keep the place clean. The state you leave it in our tribute parade is a disgrace.
Well, you'll just have to finish it off some other time, you're getting on my nerves, creeping about the hole with that miserable look on your face. This is my normal expression. You can't be a virtue with a funny face.
