and I said I would
if I could keep my clothes on.
Because I really think it's important
to keep one's mystique,
don't you, Mr Campion?
Is it Mr Campion
or Father Anthony?
It's, uh, it's Tony.
Do you think it's a sin...Tony?
I don't think there's anything sinful
about the body.
There's a tradition of religious
painting featuring the nude.
It's a question of...how the artist
uses the body that's important.
So, do you think
Mr Lindsay's paintings are rude?
Some I think are profane.
Oh, that's good. I'm starving.
I only eat once a day
cos my mother's very fat
and it runs in my family.
You should see my grandpa.
He looks like the Michelin Man.
You know, the one
with all those tyres around him?
He eats like a horse!
He puts tomato sauce on everything.
It was a very enlightened society.
The artists made all the decisions.
That's why there's no record
of warfare
between the Atlanteans
and anyone else.
The main question is, where was it?
The Mediterranean
is the most likely spot.
They're always digging up pottery
that doesn't belong to
any known civilization.
just disappear?
Well, a cataclysm. They were all
wiped out in a cataclysm.
Whole island sank in an earthquake.
So you're a genuine believer
in Atlantis?

in a former incarnation.
I ask because the cataclysm can be
seen as an image of moral collapse
and some think we're going through
Do you explore that in your painting?
been decaying, whenever they can.
He's just a very depraved man,
I'm afraid, Mr Campion.
No one's safe.
I'm bloody bored!
Have you seen those fairies lately?
A couple of them were out
last Friday.
- They were not!
- They were too.
They always come out
They do not. Do they, Mummy?
Yes, you don't see them
cos you're asleep.
Tonight's Friday,
as a matter of fact.
But then you'd be
No, I'm not, Mummy.
I promise I won't be bored.
- Even bloody bored?
- Promise!
Well, if you're gonna be up
at midnight, get to bed now.
- Say good night to everybody.
- Good night, everybody.
- Do they really come, Mummy?
- Fairies only live in books.
The Industrial Revolution
killed the fairies.
They were left with nowhere to live.
- Except our imaginations.
- lmaginations are a luxury.
- Beg your pardon?
- Most people can't afford them.
I don't think imagination
is dependent on economics, is it?
In a factory you're doing exactly
An active imagination is what allows
people to do that kind of work.
Oh, well, you'd know, of course!
