3
00:00:14.296 --> 00:00:16.671
There, that's good.

4
00:00:16.837 --> 00:00:24.129
Luckily we've got ace photographer
Angus Snapforth to do our credits.

5
00:00:24.296 --> 00:00:27.462
He works longitudinally -

6
00:00:27.629 --> 00:00:32.129
- developing his negatives
in Turkish-bath cabinet.

7
00:00:32.296 --> 00:00:35.796
So this should be just the job for him.

8
00:00:35.962 --> 00:00:40.671
And he has promised to make it snappy.

9
00:01:56.962 --> 00:02:02.546
37 miles to the north, a bit east,
and then up a bit lies Pinchcliff.

10
00:02:02.712 --> 00:02:06.629
A village perched
under the blue welkin -

11
00:02:06.796 --> 00:02:12.171
- with it's own steam-driven cheese
factory, a camping site, a local paper -

12
00:02:12.337 --> 00:02:15.546
- and it's own TV station.

13
00:02:17.629 --> 00:02:22.796
Open to all the winds that blow, where
the sun rises above Lonetree Hill -

14
00:02:22.962 --> 00:02:26.462
- lives our cycle-repairer,
Theodore Rimspoke.

15
00:02:26.629 --> 00:02:31.837
Must be awkward for a wretched cyclist
with a blow-out -

16
00:02:32.004 --> 00:02:38.712
- to have to wheel his mount all
this way to get our expert to fix it.

17
00:02:38.879 --> 00:02:44.212
Doesn't look as if business
is very thriving, does it?

18
00:02:44.379 --> 00:02:50.379
It's only our postman, old foot-slogging
Dan Hoofer, who makes his way there -

19
00:02:50.546 --> 00:02:55.796
- with the local rag and outstanding
bills. His greatcoat has diamond tread.

20
00:02:55.962 --> 00:02:59.546
He's colour blind and
has been run over a couple of times -

21
00:02:59.712 --> 00:03:06.629
- walks with a list to port and plays
the big bass on festive occasions.

22
00:03:06.796 --> 00:03:10.671
Not much more to say about Hoofer.

23
00:03:17.212 --> 00:03:21.046
Cycle-repairer Rimspoke
is an independent sort of bloke.

24
00:03:21.212 --> 00:03:24.921
More of an inventor than a businessman.

25
00:03:25.087 --> 00:03:28.796
Famous for his ingenious designs, -

26
00:03:28.962 --> 00:03:34.337
- such as pedal-activated combined
shaving and raspberry-picking machine.

27
00:03:34.504 --> 00:03:41.462
He uses a copying pencil, instant coffee
and his own patent telescopic ruler.

28
00:03:42.212 --> 00:03:46.754
Sonny Duckworth is
the early bird personified.

29
00:03:46.921 --> 00:03:50.629
Hatched out
in a weeping willow. A born optimist -

30
00:03:50.796 --> 00:03:56.004
- with muffler, felt slippers and
indifferent morals. As Sonny puts it:

31
00:03:56.171 --> 00:03:59.546
The early worm gets the bird.

32
00:03:59.712 --> 00:04:05.504
Difficulties he treats as trifles,
the impossible as a challenge.

33
00:04:05.671 --> 00:04:11.046
He's Rimspoke's right-hand man,
counsellor, and friend.

34
00:04:12.796 --> 00:04:19.337
Lambert is a night-owl with hay-fever,
a pillar of the rustic establishment.

35
00:04:19.504 --> 00:04:25.046
Run over by a reaper and got a
crew-cut, short back, bushy by the ears.

36
00:04:25.212 --> 00:04:30.379
Found under the roots of a knotted oak
and included as a Rimspoke resident.

37
00:04:30.546 --> 00:04:35.921
Lambert is a personal pessimist, and
only really at home in Darkest Devon.

38
00:04:36.087 --> 00:04:40.129
And this is their home,
standing in its own pleasant grounds, -

39
00:04:40.296 --> 00:04:45.296
- enjoying all the benefits of
Rimspoke's ingenious gadgets.

40
00:05:25.421 --> 00:05:31.421
Well, string me up
and stuff me in a hen-coop!

41
00:05:53.504 --> 00:05:56.212
Hi, Theodore! Look at this.

42
00:05:56.379 --> 00:05:59.046
This morning's post.

43
00:05:59.212 --> 00:06:04.462
Nothing but bills. Put them
on the window sill with the others.

44
00:06:04.629 --> 00:06:08.837
Take a look at that super car!

45
00:06:12.962 --> 00:06:18.004
Look at that there Rudolph Gore-Slimey!

46
00:06:19.046 --> 00:06:23.671
- Do you know that fellow?
- Know him?

47
00:06:23.837 --> 00:06:28.462
- Yes, I'll say I know him.
- Do you know him personal?

48
00:06:28.629 --> 00:06:35.337
That there Rudolph, he was a kind
of apprentice to me in my workshop.

49
00:06:36.546 --> 00:06:40.962
Then he suddenly
packed it in and went to town.

50
00:06:41.129 --> 00:06:46.212
And now he's in big business,
and a racing driver, I see.

51
00:06:47.004 --> 00:06:51.212
You don't say...? Big business, too?

52
00:06:52.254 --> 00:06:55.379
Beats me how that there Gore-Slimey -

53
00:06:55.546 --> 00:06:59.296
- got into the racing circuit?

54
00:06:59.462 --> 00:07:03.837
Competing with
the best in the world, it says.

55
00:07:04.004 --> 00:07:07.921
Look! Smashing picture on the back too.

56
00:07:08.087 --> 00:07:11.504
Well, I never...!

57
00:07:11.671 --> 00:07:14.671
I might have guessed as much.

58
00:07:14.837 --> 00:07:18.421
Guessed? Guessed what?

59
00:07:18.587 --> 00:07:23.171
I wonder what he's got
under his bonnet?

60
00:07:23.337 --> 00:07:29.587
So that's why Gore-Slimey was
in such a hurry to go to town, huh?

61
00:07:29.754 --> 00:07:33.296
There's some skulduggery
going on here.

62
00:07:35.046 --> 00:07:39.129
- More trouble brewing, I'll wager...
- No, no, Lambert.

63
00:07:39.296 --> 00:07:43.421
Say, Theodore, what's skulduggery?

64
00:07:43.587 --> 00:07:46.629
Yeh, what's skulduggery?

65
00:07:46.796 --> 00:07:51.754
Well, we better get down
to some honest work.

66
00:07:51.921 --> 00:07:54.421
Out with you, and set to work!

67
00:07:54.587 --> 00:08:00.671
When the call to work goes out,
Brother, please include me out!

68
00:08:00.837 --> 00:08:05.004
Put your hat and coat on, Lambert!

69
00:08:40.796 --> 00:08:42.921
Come on!

70
00:09:21.129 --> 00:09:25.087
I see, doing your daily dozen, Lambert?

71
00:09:29.379 --> 00:09:34.087
I say, what's skulduggery, Sonny?

72
00:09:34.254 --> 00:09:38.379
Skulduggery?

73
00:09:38.546 --> 00:09:41.712
That is skulduggery!

74
00:09:41.879 --> 00:09:43.962
Oh.

75
00:09:49.337 --> 00:09:55.087
The north wind's blowing
from every quarter today, Sonny?

76
00:09:55.254 --> 00:09:58.254
Lovely weather for working.

77
00:10:00.004 --> 00:10:02.796
I'm scared, I am.

78
00:10:02.962 --> 00:10:07.337
I don't like it when
it's blowing from every quarter.

79
00:10:07.504 --> 00:10:13.796
- Let's get this contraption working!
- All, right, just leave it to me.

80
00:11:16.837 --> 00:11:22.546
Computerised production of
flagpoles for the Swiss Navy!

81
00:11:22.712 --> 00:11:25.462
That'll be 10, 75.

82
00:12:04.212 --> 00:12:08.962
Theodore is self-supporting, has his
own electric power, water laid on -

83
00:12:09.129 --> 00:12:16.462
- and turns an honest penny on the side.
Lambert remains a true romantic.

84
00:12:16.629 --> 00:12:23.171
Despite his chronic hay fever
Lambert is conspicuously on parade --

85
00:12:23.337 --> 00:12:27.754
- whenever the sun
shines down at Pinchcliffe.

86
00:12:27.921 --> 00:12:34.712
You'd hardly say life at Rimspoke's
is one mad rush, but now and again -

87
00:12:34.879 --> 00:12:38.337
- a buckled wheel
or a bent handlebar needs attention.

88
00:12:38.504 --> 00:12:44.837
The profits are hardly likely to cause
repercussions on the money market -

89
00:12:45.004 --> 00:12:49.587
- still the three of them up the hill
are content enough.

90
00:13:05.796 --> 00:13:09.921
Don't be frightened, Lambert.
I'll switch the TV on, Theodore.

91
00:13:10.087 --> 00:13:14.629
- I don't like TV.
- There's no bogeyman in the box.

92
00:13:14.796 --> 00:13:18.462
You never can tell, can you.

93
00:13:20.962 --> 00:13:27.462
<i>And now for the news, read by
pig farmer Archibald Skrimshank.</i>

94
00:13:28.504 --> 00:13:31.254
This is usually pretty exciting.

95
00:13:32.087 --> 00:13:37.296
<i>The situation is still
very tense in the Middle East.</i>

96
00:13:37.462 --> 00:13:39.587
<i>Here...</i>

97
00:13:39.754 --> 00:13:42.962
- Dang me sideways!
- I'm scared, I am, Theodore.

98
00:13:43.129 --> 00:13:48.337
<i>And now after the news,
the World of Sport.</i>

99
00:13:51.129 --> 00:13:54.671
We deserve a little extra treat tonight.

100
00:13:54.837 --> 00:13:59.087
I expect you'd like
some dewrinkled raisins, Sonny?

101
00:13:59.254 --> 00:14:02.379
Help yourself,
there's plenty for everyone.

102
00:14:02.546 --> 00:14:06.796
<i>...the current Motor Racing
sensation, Rudolph Core-Slimey.</i>

103
00:14:06.962 --> 00:14:13.587
<i>After winning his third successive
Grand Prix. A few words, please.</i>

104
00:14:16.337 --> 00:14:21.546
<i>I came of humble stock from
the little village of Pinchcliffe.</i>

105
00:14:21.712 --> 00:14:27.296
<i>Worked for a while in a cycle repair
shop run by an eccentric rustic.</i>

106
00:14:27.462 --> 00:14:31.546
<i>Forget his name... Theodore...</i>

107
00:14:31.712 --> 00:14:35.129
<i>Theodore Rimspoke,</i> I <i>think it was.</i>

108
00:14:35.296 --> 00:14:39.254
- Just hark at him... I mean to say...
- Quiet now, Sonny!

109
00:14:39.421 --> 00:14:41.587
<i>Humble beginnings, eh?</i>

110
00:14:41.754 --> 00:14:46.796
<i>Funny to think how easy it can be
to get stuck in a rut like that place.</i>

111
00:14:46.962 --> 00:14:49.754
<i>But there was no stopping you?</i>

112
00:14:49.921 --> 00:14:55.629
<i>No, and I think my latest invention
will revolutionise motor racing!</i>

113
00:14:55.796 --> 00:15:00.462
<i>- What invention?
- This super retometric distributor.</i>

114
00:15:00.629 --> 00:15:06.379
<i>It raises the jet-injection factor to
1000 and the corradial effect by 112%.</i>

115
00:15:06.546 --> 00:15:12.712
So that's your game! So that's
your invention, is it, Rudolph?

116
00:15:12.879 --> 00:15:16.462
Funny, because here's
the working drawing!

117
00:15:16.629 --> 00:15:23.504
What did you say? Has Gore-Slimey
gone and swiped your invention?

118
00:15:23.671 --> 00:15:28.671
Yes, he must have collared it when
he was working here as my assistant.

119
00:15:28.837 --> 00:15:35.546
Well, string me up and stuff me in
a hen-coop. I never heard the like!

120
00:15:35.712 --> 00:15:43.379
I say, please, could you
pass me another liquorice allsorts?

121
00:15:43.546 --> 00:15:48.712
Hush! We must listen
to what Gore-Slimey has to say.

122
00:15:48.879 --> 00:15:56.212
<i>Let me repeat, I'm prepared anytime,
anywhere, to meet any challenge.</i>

123
00:15:56.379 --> 00:15:59.046
<i>Thank you for talking to us.</i>

124
00:15:59.212 --> 00:16:04.712
<i>We hope we shall soon see
someone putting up a challenge.</i>

125
00:16:11.337 --> 00:16:17.004
<i>Now the Chairman, District Veterinary
Surgeon Roger Uddersfield -</i>

126
00:16:17.171 --> 00:16:20.462
<i>- will present today's commercials.</i>

127
00:16:20.629 --> 00:16:27.337
<i>For guaranteed social success, use
Brough, the swift-action hair tonic.</i>

128
00:16:27.504 --> 00:16:32.462
- Switch off that commercial nonsense!
<i>- Remember the name, Brough!</i>

129
00:16:32.629 --> 00:16:35.629
<i>Recommended by egg-heads!</i>

130
00:16:35.796 --> 00:16:42.546
- Don't let them fool you, Theodore!
- Well, what's a bloke to do now?

131
00:16:42.712 --> 00:16:46.004
You're going to challenge!

132
00:16:46.171 --> 00:16:50.087
No, no, that'd be dangerous.

133
00:16:50.254 --> 00:16:53.254
- You pipe down, Lambert!
- challenge him?

134
00:16:53.421 --> 00:17:01.254
I do have a little secret tucked away
in the coach-house. Might be fun...

135
00:17:01.421 --> 00:17:06.629
Have a go! Could you get this
completed, Gore-Slimey wouldn't need -

136
00:17:06.796 --> 00:17:11.087
- any driving-mirror!
Just imagine II Tempo Gigante!

137
00:17:11.254 --> 00:17:14.629
Rimspoke's reply
to the Italian Ferrari!

138
00:17:19.046 --> 00:17:24.587
- Out of the way, macadamised snail!
- Save your felt-slippers, Sonny.

139
00:17:28.004 --> 00:17:34.421
Well, shall we take a peep inside the
coach-house and see what we've got?

140
00:17:34.587 --> 00:17:38.046
- Yes, let's!
- Oh, no.

141
00:17:42.504 --> 00:17:47.296
There isn't much I can do
with this thing here.

142
00:17:47.462 --> 00:17:51.129
It's in a sorrier state
than I suspected.

143
00:17:51.296 --> 00:17:58.671
- You could soon fix this up.
- Can't build a car without a penny.

144
00:17:58.837 --> 00:18:02.837
I haven't even got the nuts and bolts.

145
00:18:03.004 --> 00:18:06.962
We'll have to make a real killing!

146
00:18:07.129 --> 00:18:10.837
You could raise the wind, could you?

147
00:18:11.004 --> 00:18:14.171
A divinity shapes our ends.

148
00:18:14.337 --> 00:18:16.962
Stick 'em up!

149
00:18:17.129 --> 00:18:20.962
- Hand it over!
- Do you suppose I've got any money?

150
00:18:21.129 --> 00:18:25.879
This bloke's a poor as a church mouse!

151
00:18:26.046 --> 00:18:30.962
- This won't solve our problems.
- Well, blow me. I'll be...

152
00:18:36.879 --> 00:18:40.254
Well, blow me. I'll be...

153
00:18:40.421 --> 00:18:44.421
That really hurt.
Never felt such a pain before.

154
00:18:44.587 --> 00:18:48.337
Wouldn't never ever
have thought it possible.

155
00:18:52.629 --> 00:18:58.337
- Move over!
- Can't I have the inside berth tonight?

156
00:18:58.504 --> 00:19:06.462
- Don't we all have our places?
- I never get the inside berth.

157
00:19:06.629 --> 00:19:12.337
- There's such a draft off the floor.
- That's why I take the inside berth.

158
00:19:12.504 --> 00:19:15.171
Come on, pipe down!

159
00:19:24.504 --> 00:19:28.837
Well, good night to you, Sonny.
Sleep well.

160
00:19:29.004 --> 00:19:30.754
Nighty!

161
00:20:05.421 --> 00:20:07.879
Sonny!

162
00:20:08.046 --> 00:20:10.212
Sonny!

163
00:20:15.587 --> 00:20:20.212
I say, Theodore? Has he gone out?

164
00:20:20.379 --> 00:20:22.546
I wonder why?

165
00:20:26.754 --> 00:20:31.171
Theodore's feeling
a bit down in the dumps.

166
00:20:31.337 --> 00:20:37.212
I wonder if it is because he hasn't got
enough money to build the car, Sonny?

167
00:20:37.379 --> 00:20:42.421
Think you'll be able
to help him out, eh, Sonny?

168
00:20:43.629 --> 00:20:46.754
Lambert, it's only a matter of time -

169
00:20:46.921 --> 00:20:51.671
- before Sonny Duckworth
of Sludgemere strikes again!

170
00:21:00.837 --> 00:21:06.587
I think I'll just stretch
my carcase a bit more.

171
00:21:53.546 --> 00:21:57.921
Oi! String me up
and stuff me in a hen-coop!

172
00:22:01.296 --> 00:22:05.837
Rolls-Royce 1905 model! Solid gold.

173
00:22:06.004 --> 00:22:08.962
Acetylene lamps.

174
00:22:09.129 --> 00:22:14.337
Gosh, transverse interleaved
suspension. Silicon finish...

175
00:22:18.004 --> 00:22:22.087
What sort of a spooky get-up is that?

176
00:22:22.254 --> 00:22:25.796
He must be oozing with dough!

177
00:22:28.212 --> 00:22:32.629
Gosh! He's using
dollar bills as fly-whisks!

178
00:22:37.504 --> 00:22:41.629
"Aladdin Oil"!

179
00:22:43.379 --> 00:22:46.171
He must be one of those oil sheiks!

180
00:22:47.754 --> 00:22:51.712
Perhaps we could funnel a little
in Theodore's direction...

181
00:24:51.796 --> 00:24:56.546
Snickety snoo!
How too, too snickety snoo.

182
00:24:57.587 --> 00:25:02.796
If this isn't tempting providence,
I'd like to know what is.

183
00:26:01.004 --> 00:26:06.796
An ape, honestly. A genuine cross
between a chimp and a gorilla.

184
00:26:06.962 --> 00:26:09.671
This is no joking matter!

185
00:26:53.754 --> 00:26:59.171
There should be plenty of money here
for Theodore's new design.

186
00:26:59.337 --> 00:27:03.796
Well, string me up
and stuff me in a hen-coop!

187
00:27:03.962 --> 00:27:07.629
Talk about an Oriental chick!

188
00:27:12.421 --> 00:27:16.004
And that fierce-looking money-grubber!

189
00:28:46.962 --> 00:28:50.171
Desperados!
What eez the bizniz going on here?

190
00:28:50.337 --> 00:28:53.712
And the papyrus here?

191
00:28:56.504 --> 00:29:01.587
Theez eez no hieroglyphics.
Theeze eez drawing of fast motor-car.

192
00:29:03.587 --> 00:29:08.712
Sensation!
Theez car work of great genius.

193
00:29:08.879 --> 00:29:11.837
Where is the deesigner?

194
00:29:12.004 --> 00:29:16.921
Ali, ali, Emanuel Desperados,
you fetch me theez genius!

195
00:29:22.962 --> 00:29:26.837
Thrown out? Not possibull!

196
00:29:27.004 --> 00:29:32.462
Throw out of the tent of
Sheikh Abdul Ben Bonanza?

197
00:29:32.629 --> 00:29:39.587
Idiot!
You stupid gorilla dam blockhead.

198
00:29:45.879 --> 00:29:51.962
Sonny's not the type to give up easily!
At a pinch he gets his fertile brain -

199
00:29:52.129 --> 00:29:56.587
- work overtime and changes
his line of attack.

200
00:29:56.754 --> 00:30:01.379
Once his mind's made up,
there's no stopping Sonny.

201
00:30:03.421 --> 00:30:07.796
Ah, yes, the Pinchcliffe Gazette.

202
00:30:08.962 --> 00:30:12.254
That's an idea all right.

203
00:30:15.087 --> 00:30:20.629
An ad inserted here
will have world wide coverage!

204
00:30:41.546 --> 00:30:49.129
My Spanish gambit eez successful!
And it's Desperados to move.

205
00:31:02.212 --> 00:31:06.962
Your check easy to overcome.
I just go through weez my castle.

206
00:31:09.046 --> 00:31:11.962
That shake you, eh?

207
00:31:24.171 --> 00:31:28.879
You theenk you vairy smart, no?
I just move my keeng...

208
00:31:29.046 --> 00:31:32.212
And you get nowhere.

209
00:31:44.504 --> 00:31:49.296
Jallah.
Sheikh Bonanza checkmated?

210
00:31:49.462 --> 00:31:51.671
You...!

211
00:31:52.629 --> 00:31:59.837
I no time to play theez silly game with
stoopid ape. I prefer study drawing.

212
00:32:02.921 --> 00:32:07.379
Emanuel Desperados.
Zees car ingenious!

213
00:32:11.004 --> 00:32:16.879
You!
Throw designer out of my tent. Idiot!

214
00:32:17.046 --> 00:32:19.962
You beeg blockhead!
Stoopid gorilla...

215
00:32:49.254 --> 00:32:52.671
So you're up early for once, Lambert?

216
00:32:54.587 --> 00:32:58.087
Yeh, gotta spend a penny.

217
00:32:58.254 --> 00:33:03.879
- Perhaps you could fetch the paper?
- Yeh, I'll do that for you.

218
00:33:11.962 --> 00:33:18.421
<i>Ladies and gentlemen, we

220
00:33:26.004 --> 00:33:30.087

228
00:34:10.587 --> 00:34:14.921
What an advertisement for Aladdin Oil!

Desperados,

235
00:35:10.171 --> 00:35:13.837
Hurry, hurry!

236

You have trouble weez my Rolls-Royce?

Hurry! We late!

240
00:35:33.629 --> 00:35:36.254
Now change gear!

241
00:35:36.421 --> 00:35:41.671
Caramba!
Put her in reverse... there you idiot.

242
00:35:56.254 --> 00:35:59.296
Snitchery snoo!

243
00:36:00.671 --> 00:36:05.712
This is tempting providence
putting all this in print.

244
00:36:10.087 --> 00:36:14.879
Theodore, it says in the paper.
But where the dickens is it?

245
00:36:33.087 --> 00:36:38.504
- Theodore, the paper!
- What does it say in the paper?

246
00:36:40.462 --> 00:36:43.504
It's all about your car.

247
00:36:43.671 --> 00:36:47.046
What? Let's have a look!

248
00:36:48.587 --> 00:36:51.421
Well, what do you know!

249
00:36:51.587 --> 00:36:56.546
II Tempo Gigante? It's our car!

250
00:36:56.712 --> 00:36:59.921
How did that old picture get into print?

251
00:37:56.962 --> 00:37:59.129
Speed it up!

252
00:37:59.296 --> 00:38:03.046
Dangerous suspension bridge. Hurry!

253
00:38:06.212 --> 00:38:08.462
Speed it up!

254
00:38:31.587 --> 00:38:36.462
"Rimspoke has accepted
Gore-Slimey's challenge."

255
00:38:38.754 --> 00:38:43.421
"Prospects for the
Race of the Century."

256
00:38:43.587 --> 00:38:47.587
I wonder who's gone and...?

257
00:38:47.754 --> 00:38:53.712
So, that's it. Sonny has been at work.

258
00:38:53.879 --> 00:38:57.796
Yeh, Sonny has been at work.

259
00:38:57.962 --> 00:39:01.296
- Who, me?
- Yes, you!

260
00:39:01.462 --> 00:39:08.087
- What've you been up to now, Sonny?
- What've you been up to now, Sonny?

261
00:39:09.796 --> 00:39:16.379
- Just a few casual acquaintances.
- Sonny's casual acquaintances, eh?

262
00:39:18.421 --> 00:39:22.379
They're apt to be a bit suspect.

263
00:39:31.087 --> 00:39:34.546
- I believe we've got something outside.
- Sounds like it.

264
00:39:36.046 --> 00:39:43.212
Ze silence here is as profound as in
ze desert. All people inside ze house.

265
00:39:43.379 --> 00:39:47.796
Emanuel,
go knock up ze door!

266
00:39:53.212 --> 00:39:58.379
Would you open the door, Lambert?
Someone's lost his way and landed here.

267
00:40:01.129 --> 00:40:06.337
Hurry along, Lambert,
you like receiving visitors, I know.

268
00:40:10.629 --> 00:40:16.046
Lambert, man, don't be scared
just because the door creaks a bit.

269
00:40:16.212 --> 00:40:20.837
Look at Sonny!
Cool as a prize cucumber.

270
00:40:25.337 --> 00:40:30.046
- Give them a nice welcome, Lambert.
- Yes, I certainly will.

271
00:40:30.212 --> 00:40:33.879
- Oh, gosh!
- Salaam, salaam!

272
00:40:34.046 --> 00:40:37.546
May Allah protect thee and thy house.

273
00:40:37.712 --> 00:40:43.379
I have journeyed from afar
to have a good squint at Rimspoke.

274
00:40:44.796 --> 00:40:51.254
Have no fear, friend! My chauffeur
not dangerous, just a bit inquisitive.

275
00:40:51.421 --> 00:40:54.171
Very, very inquisitive!

276
00:40:57.254 --> 00:41:01.629
What sort of a jungle
denizen might this be?

277
00:41:01.796 --> 00:41:07.171
Must have been smuggled in
in a crate of bananas.

278
00:41:13.504 --> 00:41:16.796
You ze great bicycle-repairer Rimspoke?

279
00:41:16.962 --> 00:41:19.546
Yes, that's supposed to be me.

280
00:41:19.712 --> 00:41:25.462
Just step right inside.
Brew up a pot of coffee, Lambert.

281
00:41:25.629 --> 00:41:32.712
Ah, you verry kind. We come to have
pow-wow and you must listen to me.

282
00:41:32.879 --> 00:41:37.129
You Rimspoke brilliant designer.

283
00:41:38.171 --> 00:41:44.546
I Abdul Ben Bonanza have seen TV.

284
00:41:44.712 --> 00:41:49.171
I will finance your Tempo Gigante.

285
00:41:49.337 --> 00:41:53.254
I plenty moneys. You plenty broke.

286
00:41:53.421 --> 00:41:59.296
Well, maybe,
but what do you want me to do?

287
00:41:59.462 --> 00:42:05.254
You use my oil and petrol.
Ze best in ze whole world.

288
00:42:05.421 --> 00:42:10.671
She'll run on my own patent mixture.
It would be fun to give it a try.

289
00:42:10.837 --> 00:42:15.462
Then pleez you sign theez contract.

290
00:42:15.629 --> 00:42:18.379
No, no, that's dangerous.

291
00:42:18.546 --> 00:42:23.754
- Do you think so, Lambert?
- Of course you'll sign, Theodore.

292
00:42:23.921 --> 00:42:27.254
The offer of a century,
from friends in distant lands!

293
00:42:27.421 --> 00:42:31.754
- Yes, pleez sign!
- You're on dangerous ground.

294
00:42:31.921 --> 00:42:35.546
Don't listen to that Jeremiah.
It's the chance of a lifetime.

295
00:42:35.712 --> 00:42:39.129
Well, it might well be.

296
00:42:39.296 --> 00:42:43.129
Bravo! So now pleez sign contract.

297
00:42:43.296 --> 00:42:48.379
We're heading
straight for disaster. I know it.

298
00:43:04.254 --> 00:43:07.712
It's amazing
what you can do with money!

299
00:43:07.879 --> 00:43:11.462
And a string of oil wells
to back you up.

300
00:43:11.629 --> 00:43:15.379
Damn me if Theodore, the bird --

301
00:43:15.546 --> 00:43:20.587
- and our ungainly furry friend with
the rucksack haven't really go cracking!

302
00:43:20.754 --> 00:43:24.587
Nuts and bolts, sprockets and spindles.

303
00:43:24.754 --> 00:43:28.421
Skilled hands engaged in
precision lathe-work --

304
00:43:28.587 --> 00:43:31.712
- on rotary hydrogenic valves.

305
00:43:31.879 --> 00:43:36.504
With one vigilant eye cocked on
the doings of willing helpers -

306
00:43:36.671 --> 00:43:42.004
- who run unnecessary risks without
the protection of safety footwear.

307
00:44:00.629 --> 00:44:03.171
Work proceeds day and night.

308
00:44:03.337 --> 00:44:08.171
Mysterious fluids seethe and bubble in
carboys, copper tubes and on hotplates.

309
00:44:08.337 --> 00:44:12.421
Theodore is experimenting
with all kinds of fuel -

310
00:44:12.587 --> 00:44:16.671
- and hand-made
thinly rolled body panels.

311
00:44:16.837 --> 00:44:21.879
Behind dark goggles Theodore
is concocting a motorised carriage -

312
00:44:22.046 --> 00:44:26.879
- that is going to prove a sensation
in the motor-racing world -

313
00:44:27.046 --> 00:44:33.796
- with technical finesses which entail
radical innovations in the carburetion!

314
00:44:48.671 --> 00:44:53.212
Straight down the lightning conductor!
Theodore has taken proper precautions -

315
00:44:53.379 --> 00:44:57.587
- against natural catastrophes
and unforeseen punctures.

316
00:44:57.754 --> 00:45:02.379
II Tempo Gigante features
special tyres, with steel reinforcement.

317
00:45:02.546 --> 00:45:09.754
And seven layers of chicken netting
welded into West Indian rubber alloys.

318
00:45:31.921 --> 00:45:38.921
When Theodore builds an engine,
he doesn't settle for a mere two-stroke.

319
00:45:39.087 --> 00:45:44.087
He has drilled 12 cylinders and
fitted them with concave linings -

320
00:45:44.254 --> 00:45:48.337
- rammed in a whole heap of
high-tension ignition plugs -

321
00:45:48.504 --> 00:45:53.254
- linked to three-inch
hyper-polished exhaust manuals.

322
00:45:53.421 --> 00:45:57.046
The finished product weighing 2.3 tons -

323
00:45:57.212 --> 00:46:02.921
- is impressive enough to shake any
major motor factory to its foundation.

324
00:46:31.629 --> 00:46:36.837
It takes a full year to knock out
a vehicle like II Tempo Gigante.

325
00:46:39.379 --> 00:46:43.171
The day Theodore
completed the prototype, --

326
00:46:43.337 --> 00:46:48.212
- the Bristol seismograph registered
7,8 on the Richter scale.

327
00:46:48.379 --> 00:46:52.837
Not a bad start for
a do-it-yourself village enthusiast.

328
00:46:54.171 --> 00:46:56.796
<i>Here's the late news.</i>

329
00:46:56.962 --> 00:47:02.754
<i>It has been confirmed that II Tempo
Gigante is ready for its supreme test.</i>

330
00:47:02.921 --> 00:47:06.921
<i>People in Pinchcliffe
are confident that Rimspoke -</i>

331
00:47:07.087 --> 00:47:10.462
<i>- can show Core-Slimey
a clean pair of heels.</i>

332
00:47:10.629 --> 00:47:15.087
We shall see when the chips are down.

333
00:47:15.254 --> 00:47:17.296
Time will show!

334
00:48:24.337 --> 00:48:28.379
Hi, you'll frighten them
out of their wits!

335
00:48:44.046 --> 00:48:47.129
Sonny! Sonny!

336
00:48:52.462 --> 00:48:55.796
Who is it? Where is he?

337
00:48:55.962 --> 00:48:59.462
I can hear something real horrible.

338
00:48:59.629 --> 00:49:03.879
There must be someone
outside snooping around.

339
00:49:04.046 --> 00:49:08.962
Theodore, there's someone
snooping around at the dead of night.

340
00:49:09.129 --> 00:49:15.296
I bet it's someone after your car.
I think we should hide in the cellar.

341
00:49:15.462 --> 00:49:18.546
What? In the cellar?

342
00:49:18.712 --> 00:49:22.337
- Night-time intruders?
- Yes, I think there are people about.

343
00:49:22.504 --> 00:49:28.087
Our burglar alarm should deal with
car thieves, and it's all set up.

344
00:50:11.129 --> 00:50:15.629
You go to the right, Sonny,
on the other side of the coach-house, -

345
00:50:15.796 --> 00:50:18.754
- and I'll go this side.

346
00:50:21.004 --> 00:50:26.129
- And you keep an eye on the door.
- I'm scared, I am, Theodore.

347
00:50:26.296 --> 00:50:32.587
I never been so scared.
Never thought I would ever be so scared.

348
00:51:33.379 --> 00:51:36.504
Hush, someone's coming!

349
00:51:48.379 --> 00:51:52.754
That's Mister Gore-Slimey
in the bag all right.

350
00:51:56.296 --> 00:52:01.796
Well, string me up
and stuff me in a hen-coop!

351
00:52:01.962 --> 00:52:04.379
Gracious...

352
00:52:04.546 --> 00:52:09.337
So it's you strung up
and dangling there, Lambert?

353
00:52:09.504 --> 00:52:12.587
I walked slap into it!

354
00:52:22.962 --> 00:52:27.962
That rope was intended for Rudolph,
so you'll have to forgive me, Lambert.

355
00:52:28.129 --> 00:52:31.837
That put the skids on old Gore-Slimey.

356
00:53:24.296 --> 00:53:31.504
Sir Sheikh Abdul Ben Bonanza,
Ladies and Gentlemen.

357
00:53:31.671 --> 00:53:38.004
We are gathered together to unveil
Rimspoke's technical masterpiece -

358
00:53:38.171 --> 00:53:43.754
- which in tomorrows Grand Prix will
challenge the world's racing drivers -

359
00:53:43.921 --> 00:53:49.379
- including Rudolph Gore-Slimey
in his 12-cylinder Boomerang Rapido.

360
00:53:55.712 --> 00:53:58.754
We're gratified
to have TV coverage today, -

361
00:53:58.921 --> 00:54:01.587
- in black and white
and in choice colours.

362
00:54:01.754 --> 00:54:07.587
<i>This event is being transmitted
via the Pinchcliffe TV control panel -</i>

363
00:54:07.754 --> 00:54:14.296
- designed by Theodore Rimspoke
and broadcast nationwide... full stop.

364
00:54:14.462 --> 00:54:21.754
To mark this auspicious occasion we
have invited one of our greatest brads.

365
00:54:21.921 --> 00:54:27.712
Despite an attack of the sniffles and
the handicap of a mane of unruly air -

366
00:54:27.879 --> 00:54:32.921
- composed a laudatory epic:
Hanbury Dapplenag!

367
00:54:41.379 --> 00:54:46.629
Greetings,
mighty son of the desert waste

368
00:54:46.796 --> 00:54:50.921
On whose oil-wells
your stupendous wealth is based

369
00:54:51.087 --> 00:54:55.337
By whose presence
this ceremony is graced

370
00:54:55.504 --> 00:54:58.837
Our great inventor,
thanks to your banking account

371
00:54:59.004 --> 00:55:02.754
Was able to sting you
for a sizable amount

372
00:55:02.921 --> 00:55:06.879
And so in this week-end's
great race we folk

373
00:55:07.046 --> 00:55:10.421
Can cheer on
our hero Theodore Rimspoke

374
00:55:10.587 --> 00:55:17.837
Driving a very speedy vehicle which
Bears the name of my modest shanty:

375
00:55:19.046 --> 00:55:24.337
The racing car II Tempo Gigante!

376
00:55:30.379 --> 00:55:36.796
Thank you, Dapplenag, and may
the Government grant your application -

377
00:55:36.962 --> 00:55:40.129
- for a three-year
Bardic Travelling Scholarship.

378
00:55:42.046 --> 00:55:48.004
And now I shall ask Sheikh Abdul Ben
Bonanza to rise and be upstanding.

379
00:55:50.087 --> 00:55:57.879
As funds from North Sea is not yet
available for projects such as these, -

380
00:55:58.046 --> 00:56:04.421
- an overseas sheikh has
generously stepped into the breach.

381
00:56:04.587 --> 00:56:08.337
This entitles him to the honour of
unveiling this super car.

382
00:56:08.504 --> 00:56:12.087
Sheikh Abdul Ben Bonanza,
she's all yours!

383
00:56:29.921 --> 00:56:35.129
I must ask the audience to retain
your seats and your composure.

384
00:56:40.921 --> 00:56:46.337
We have TV coverage, and Theodore
will now answer a few snaky questions.

385
00:56:46.504 --> 00:56:51.421
Today's news features Rimspoke's
sensational II Tempo Gigante, -

386
00:56:51.587 --> 00:56:57.837
- capable of challenging Gore-Slimey's
GT Super Boomerang Rapido.

387
00:56:58.004 --> 00:57:05.087
Congratulations on the car!
I must say, equipped with radar and all?

388
00:57:05.254 --> 00:57:08.879
That's right.
In the event of fog and landslides.

389
00:57:09.046 --> 00:57:14.754
And to anticipate
any concealed entrances.

390
00:57:14.921 --> 00:57:17.837
Could we have a rundown?

391
00:57:18.004 --> 00:57:23.421
Let's start with the cranking handle,
which starts the engine up forward -

392
00:57:23.587 --> 00:57:26.796
- which in turn starts the carburettor -

393
00:57:26.962 --> 00:57:30.796
- which finally activates
the rocket engine at the rear.

394
00:57:30.962 --> 00:57:35.004
- And then she really moves, eh?
- You could say that, yes.

395
00:57:35.171 --> 00:57:37.296
And your top speed?

396
00:57:38.837 --> 00:57:43.671
With twelve cylinders
and pure alcohol fuel --

397
00:57:43.837 --> 00:57:46.671
- and a gaggle of rockets
raring to go, -

398
00:57:46.837 --> 00:57:51.754
- the old bus could hardly
be described as a slowcoach.

399
00:57:53.421 --> 00:57:59.254
This job is designed with
front- and rear-wheel drive -

400
00:57:59.421 --> 00:58:04.754
- as well as
direct fuel injection slap in the jet --

401
00:58:04.921 --> 00:58:09.129
- using the cantilever method.

402
00:58:09.296 --> 00:58:13.546
And I've installed two speedometers -

403
00:58:13.712 --> 00:58:20.587
- serially linked so that one takes over
when the other registers maximum.

404
00:58:20.754 --> 00:58:27.462
- And then this rotary wind-gauge...
- And what about this brake-block?

405
00:58:27.629 --> 00:58:31.337
Same system as on a bike,
but reinforced.

406
00:58:31.504 --> 00:58:37.087
- And what's this device?
- That's blood type Rhesus B Plus.

407
00:58:37.254 --> 00:58:43.796
And Rhesus Minus, and a dash of blue
blood if we should bump into a baron.

408
00:58:43.962 --> 00:58:47.796
- Or some other aristocrats.
- Very smart.

409
00:58:47.962 --> 00:58:50.546
How about a look at the cockpit?

410
00:58:50.712 --> 00:58:54.254
No. That wouldn't interest the public.

411
00:58:54.421 --> 00:58:57.379
- Top secret, maybe?
- Um...

412
00:58:57.546 --> 00:59:02.379
Well, it only remains for me to wish
Rimspoke every success in the race.

413
00:59:02.546 --> 00:59:07.004
And now back to our compère,
Dairy Manager Oliver Clapthwaite.

414
00:59:07.171 --> 00:59:09.921
Thanking you.

415
00:59:12.587 --> 00:59:16.254
And now our local band
will conclude this ceremony -

416
00:59:16.421 --> 00:59:20.171
- with a specially composed march,
Cantata Opus Two, -

417
00:59:20.337 --> 00:59:24.046
- by pig farmer Archibald Skrimshank.

418
00:59:24.212 --> 00:59:29.462
But first a special welcome to another
prominent visitor, Emanuel Desperados.

419
00:59:29.629 --> 00:59:35.629
Private chauffeur, born right round
the last bend of the Limpopo River.

420
00:59:35.796 --> 00:59:41.712
He has kindly consented to assist
in the role of guest drummer.

421
01:02:55.296 --> 01:03:01.004
And now you can see Sheikh Abdul Ben
Bonanza arriving in his Rolls-Royce -

422
01:03:01.171 --> 01:03:04.171
- driven by Emanuel Desperados.

423
01:03:04.337 --> 01:03:09.129
This great magnate
is the owner of Aladdin Oil.

424
01:03:09.296 --> 01:03:13.337
There's an air of excitement here as we
await the start of this epic encounter -

425
01:03:13.504 --> 01:03:16.379
- between the world's leading drivers.

426
01:03:16.546 --> 01:03:21.546
Now here's No. 3 coming up to start.
The Italian Ruffino Gassolini, --

427
01:03:21.712 --> 01:03:26.587
- known as the Turin Daredevil,
in his Bertone Carabo.

428
01:03:28.129 --> 01:03:33.171
No. 12 is the German Heinrich von
Schnellfahrt, in his red Abarth 2000, --

429
01:03:33.337 --> 01:03:38.379
- the celebrated speed-merchant
with glass-eye and monocle.

430
01:03:44.962 --> 01:03:49.796
Here's No. 5, the Swede
Ronny Turnip Anderson, -

431
01:03:49.962 --> 01:03:54.962
- the Gothenburg Gogetter, followed by
No. 3, the Argentine Carlos Fandango.

432
01:03:55.129 --> 01:04:00.212
The pampas playboy who ran slap into
a wall and escaped without a scratch.

433
01:04:00.379 --> 01:04:04.296
An impressive array of horsepower.

434
01:04:04.462 --> 01:04:10.671
There's one question of special interest
to fans: has Aladdin Oil acted wisely -

435
01:04:10.837 --> 01:04:15.129
- in staking money and prestige
on a mere cycle-repairer?

436
01:04:15.296 --> 01:04:18.337
<i>I imagine the people in Pinchcliffe -</i>

437
01:04:18.504 --> 01:04:23.462
<i>- will follow today's event with
special attention to their hero.</i>

438
01:04:23.629 --> 01:04:27.546
<i>Let's have a closer look
at Aladdin Oil.</i>

439
01:04:27.712 --> 01:04:31.379
<i>Rimspoke is just leaving the pits.</i>

440
01:04:31.546 --> 01:04:38.504
<i>What competition can his home-made
design, II Tempo Gigante, offer?</i>

441
01:04:38.671 --> 01:04:44.671
<i>It seems hardly likely that an
prototype built by a cycle-repairer -</i>

442
01:04:44.837 --> 01:04:50.504
<i>- will go the full 25 laps
of today's gruelling Grand Prix.</i>

443
01:04:50.671 --> 01:04:57.046
But during yesterdays acceleration test
II Tempo Gigante showed a speed -

444
01:04:57.212 --> 01:05:02.379
- that ensured it
a surprisingly good starting position.

445
01:05:06.379 --> 01:05:13.546
In the Snake Oil pit the director of the
Dry Rot and Fungus Control Authority -

446
01:05:13.712 --> 01:05:20.796
- and ace driver Gore-Slimey is behind
the wheel of his Boomerang Rapido.

447
01:05:43.587 --> 01:05:47.921
Rudolph Gore-Slimey
has a string of victories in his car, -

448
01:05:48.087 --> 01:05:52.046
- with a great many hush-hush features.

449
01:05:52.212 --> 01:05:57.504
Only a handful of intimates know what's
concealed beneath the black bonnet.

450
01:05:57.671 --> 01:06:02.254
His co-driver, in a cockpit designed on
Spitfire lines, is Eleaser Cassandra, -

451
01:06:02.421 --> 01:06:07.754
- whose gift of second sight
has proved invaluable in a tight corner.

452
01:06:07.921 --> 01:06:13.421
Less is known of Theodore Rimspoke's
co-driver, Sonny Duckworth.

453
01:06:13.587 --> 01:06:18.421
Two novices to the track
that should be watched with interest.

454
01:06:18.587 --> 01:06:23.837
In 30 seconds from now this impressive
pack of speed-hungry roadsters -

455
01:06:24.004 --> 01:06:29.504
- will be streaking across the line
in the Grand Prix of the Century.

456
01:06:43.087 --> 01:06:48.004
Five, four, three, two, one!

457
01:06:49.754 --> 01:06:56.129
They're off! The home-made contraption
already seems to be in trouble.

458
01:06:56.296 --> 01:07:01.379
This is bound to be a severe
disappointment to Aladdin Oil.

459
01:07:17.254 --> 01:07:22.254
The German Heinrich von Schnellfahrt
in his Abarth 2000 has taken the lead, --

460
01:07:22.421 --> 01:07:27.171
- closely pursued by the Italian
Ruffino Gassolini and Gore-Slimey.

461
01:07:27.337 --> 01:07:32.504
But now it looks like they've managed
to crank II Tempo Gigante into action.

462
01:07:32.671 --> 01:07:38.296
She seems to be firing
on all twelve cylinders.

463
01:07:38.462 --> 01:07:43.671
She's off, and good luck to her.
She's got a lot of leeway to make up.

464
01:07:43.837 --> 01:07:50.796
<i>Not a very encouraging start
for the good people of Pinchcliffe.</i>

465
01:08:05.587 --> 01:08:11.546
It does really look as if Rimspoke
is putting his best foot forward.

466
01:08:11.712 --> 01:08:19.962
Gore-Slimey in the lead followed by
McQuick, the Swede and Gassolini.

467
01:08:44.046 --> 01:08:47.379
In a moment
they'll be completing the first lap.

468
01:08:47.546 --> 01:08:51.504
Gore-Slimey has been
passed by the Irishman McQuick.

469
01:08:51.671 --> 01:08:57.212
Here they come. Gore-Slimey
flashing past still in the lead.

470
01:08:57.379 --> 01:09:02.046
With nine laps to go, Rimspoke is
lagging 30 seconds behind the leaders.

471
01:09:02.212 --> 01:09:05.504
He has a lot of ground to make up.

472
01:09:05.671 --> 01:09:09.712
And now the Argentine ace
Carlos Fandango goes into the lead.

473
01:09:17.296 --> 01:09:23.712
And now it looks as if Rimspoke really
has got his horsepower harnessed.

474
01:09:23.879 --> 01:09:29.921
By my stopwatch he's pulled in as
much as 15 seconds on his first lap -

475
01:09:30.087 --> 01:09:35.629
- which is sensational. We should
not write off Aladdin Oil's chances yet.

476
01:09:41.421 --> 01:09:47.504
Gore-Slimey once again in the lead with
Nos. 4, 12, 3, 3 and 5 in hot pursuit.

477
01:09:47.671 --> 01:09:52.962
Followed by Rimspoke.
He must have put in a tremendous burst!

478
01:09:53.129 --> 01:09:57.962
Rimspoke's backers are clearly elated.

479
01:09:58.129 --> 01:10:03.796
The wee chappie now facing the camera
is one of Rimspoke's rusty assistants.

480
01:10:03.962 --> 01:10:07.254
<i>No doubt his first visit
on a race-track.</i>

481
01:10:07.421 --> 01:10:11.671
<i>A popular feature
in this tough competition.</i>

482
01:10:11.837 --> 01:10:16.171
A message: Would the owner
of the car registered PP 14U2 -

483
01:10:16.337 --> 01:10:21.462
- parked on a manhole outside
Entrance C kindly remove his vehicle, -

484
01:10:21.629 --> 01:10:26.504
- as a Drainage and Water Board
inspector is anxious to return home.

485
01:10:27.921 --> 01:10:33.504
We are just coming up for another lap.
And Gore-Slimey is still in the lead.

486
01:10:40.254 --> 01:10:44.171
Amazing what Rimspoke
is getting out of his car.

487
01:10:44.337 --> 01:10:47.421
Can he really keep going?

488
01:11:10.462 --> 01:11:17.504
Rimspoke has now rejoined the bunch,
and Schnellfahrt answers with a spurt.

489
01:11:17.671 --> 01:11:23.254
Rimspoke's giving all his got, but seems
to be having trouble with his engine.

490
01:11:23.421 --> 01:11:27.962
He's falling back.
But he's picking up again -

491
01:11:28.129 --> 01:11:33.212
- and is hot on the heels of
McQuick, Gassolini and Anderson.

492
01:11:53.921 --> 01:11:56.796
Going into the hairpin bend
we get a ding-dong struggle -

493
01:11:56.962 --> 01:12:00.129
- between Schnellfahrt and Rimspoke.

494
01:12:00.296 --> 01:12:05.254
Out of the bend we have
Gore-Slimey and Rimspoke.

495
01:12:05.421 --> 01:12:11.212
Rimspoke must have gone into a bit of a
skid. His car seems a bit stern-heavy.

496
01:12:30.837 --> 01:12:36.504
There's a dramatic tussle going on,
with Gore-Slimey still in the lead.

497
01:12:56.962 --> 01:13:01.921
And there goes Rimspoke,
shooting into the lead. Aladdin Oil -

498
01:13:02.087 --> 01:13:05.046
- is leading in the Grand Prix!

499
01:13:27.879 --> 01:13:32.921
II Tempo Gigante
passing the stands with a clear lead.

500
01:13:33.087 --> 01:13:36.212
But it sounds like she is misfiring?

501
01:13:36.379 --> 01:13:42.171
The subsequent order is Gore-Slimey,
Fandango, Schnellfahrt, Gassolini -

502
01:13:42.337 --> 01:13:46.046
- and the Swede Turnip Anderson.

503
01:14:41.212 --> 01:14:46.004
Rimspoke is clearly in trouble.
His engine is definitely labouring.

504
01:14:46.171 --> 01:14:50.546
Gore-Slimey
is coming up hand over first.

505
01:14:53.296 --> 01:14:57.087
Now he's passed him
and is in the lead again!

506
01:15:00.754 --> 01:15:04.712
Things seem to be going disastrously
wrong for Rimspoke and Aladdin Oil.

507
01:15:04.879 --> 01:15:09.671
Rimspoke is being overhauled by
the rest of the field. My, what a pity.

508
01:15:09.837 --> 01:15:14.421
After such a splendid performance
by this unusual vehicle!

509
01:15:14.587 --> 01:15:20.254
But that's the way things go!
Snake Oil first with the German second.

510
01:15:25.962 --> 01:15:31.629
Just behind these two comes Fandango.
The field's spreading out now.

511
01:15:31.796 --> 01:15:36.087
And here's the Swede leaving the pits
after a spot of trouble.

512
01:15:36.254 --> 01:15:41.546
But II Tempo Gigante
is obviously in still greater trouble.

513
01:15:41.712 --> 01:15:46.921
She is being taken hand of
by her team of mechanics.

514
01:15:50.171 --> 01:15:57.212
Now the German seems to be making a
bid. Fandango breathing down his neck.

515
01:15:57.379 --> 01:16:02.379
The field seems to be massing
for a thrilling attack on the leaders.

516
01:16:27.796 --> 01:16:30.546
Rimspoke is really back in the race!

517
01:16:30.712 --> 01:16:35.462
Talk about a quick start! Nothing like
it since the Apollo went into orbit.

518
01:16:35.629 --> 01:16:40.754
Driver and co-driver must have been
subject to something like 3 G!

519
01:17:10.171 --> 01:17:14.796
Once again Rimspoke challenges the
cream of the world's racing drivers.

520
01:17:14.962 --> 01:17:18.712
This can develop into
something truly spectacular!

521
01:17:18.879 --> 01:17:24.962
Looks as if Aladdin Oil have called on
their second driver. What a gamble!

522
01:17:25.129 --> 01:17:31.587
Gassolini holding on to a slim lead,
closely followed by the others.

523
01:17:31.754 --> 01:17:35.962
What about Rimspoke
and his new second driver?

524
01:18:06.004 --> 01:18:10.254
It's obvious that II Tempo Gigante
is now performing superbly.

525
01:18:10.421 --> 01:18:14.546
Rimspoke is closing in on the field.

526
01:18:14.712 --> 01:18:19.629
But Gore-Slimey
has pulled ahead and has a clear lead.

527
01:18:53.337 --> 01:18:56.337
Gore-Slimey has a commanding lead,
and passes... there.

528
01:18:58.087 --> 01:19:03.587
The rest of the field is nicely bunched,
with the German in front.

529
01:19:03.754 --> 01:19:07.629
But Rimspoke is now only seven
seconds behind the German.

530
01:19:09.004 --> 01:19:14.421
Rimspoke, clearly full of go is only
15 seconds behind Gore-Slimey.

531
01:19:14.587 --> 01:19:19.212
It's going to be hard
to predict the winner.

532
01:19:19.379 --> 01:19:25.212
Things are really hotting up.
The German is back in the lead -

533
01:19:25.379 --> 01:19:28.879
- with the others
breathing down his neck.

534
01:19:29.046 --> 01:19:35.629
II Tempo Gigante is putting on
a terrific spurt and catching up!

535
01:20:17.171 --> 01:20:22.004
It's a neck-and-neck struggle between
Gore-Slimey and Theodore Rimspoke.

536
01:20:44.587 --> 01:20:47.546
Gore-Slimey
is just hanging on to his lead, -

537
01:20:47.712 --> 01:20:51.254
- but the others are hard on his heels.

538
01:20:59.462 --> 01:21:05.171
Gore-Slimey and Rimspoke are leaving
the rest of the field inexorably behind.

539
01:21:40.587 --> 01:21:45.587
Now what's happening?
Gore-Slimey pulls away.

540
01:21:45.754 --> 01:21:50.546
Rimspoke is in trouble, with II Tempo
Gigante threatening to disintegrate.

541
01:21:50.712 --> 01:21:55.421
Gore-Slimey is starting on the last lap.
But where is Rimspoke?

542
01:21:55.587 --> 01:22:01.962
There! He seems to have got his engine
going full blast once again!

543
01:22:02.129 --> 01:22:08.379
<i>Core-Slimey can't be sure of victory.
Both cars being squeezed to the limit.</i>

544
01:22:08.546 --> 01:22:15.212
<i>This is the last and decisive lap, and
a final maximum effort is called for.</i>

545
01:22:15.379 --> 01:22:20.462
<i>This speed must be a terrific strain
on chassis, engine, tyres,</i> -

546
01:22:20.629 --> 01:22:23.171
<i>- and the drivers themselves.</i>

547
01:23:31.671 --> 01:23:37.212
Here things are really getting dramatic.
II Tempo Gigante is enveloped in smoke.

548
01:23:37.379 --> 01:23:40.754
Is she on fire?
A highly dramatic finish!

549
01:24:29.421 --> 01:24:34.254
Rimspoke comes out of the bend with
Gore-Slimey scraping his exhaust.

550
01:24:34.421 --> 01:24:39.837
He flashes across the line there!
Winner of the Grand Prix of the century!

551
01:24:40.004 --> 01:24:44.921
In third place the German, followed by
the Argentinean, Irishman and Italian.

552
01:24:45.087 --> 01:24:50.462
What a race, what a finish, and what a
triumph for our village cycle-repairer --

553
01:24:50.629 --> 01:24:55.837
- and a sheikh who staked his
reputation and money on his intuition.

554
01:25:04.962 --> 01:25:09.629
We congratulate Pinchcliffe, the
native village of the three worthies -

555
01:25:09.796 --> 01:25:15.254
- who ensured II Tempo Gigante
such a sensational triumph.

556
01:25:59.754 --> 01:26:03.629
The cup and the laurels
were just one more incident -

557
01:26:03.796 --> 01:26:06.712
- in the lives of Theodore,
Sonny, and Lambert.

558
01:26:06.879 --> 01:26:10.796
They'll be back at their daily chores
tomorrow, with petty quarrels, -

559
01:26:10.962 --> 01:26:16.504
- inventions and the manufacture
of flagpoles for the Swiss Navy.

560
01:26:16.671 --> 01:26:22.837
- Tonight you have the inside berth!
- Can I?

561
01:26:24.546 --> 01:26:29.129
- Is that really possible?
- Take the inside when I tell you to!

562
01:26:34.212 --> 01:26:38.004
Goodness me!

563
01:26:40.421 --> 01:26:43.671
Snitchery pooh.

564
01:26:43.837 --> 01:26:46.671
- Nighty!
- Nighty!

565
01:27:17.004 --> 01:27:19.671
