The TECHNICIAN fails to notice this and the machine
continues smoothly TUTWOOD, Thomas T. ... TUZCZLOW,
Peter...
INTERVIEWER:
Thank you very much, Deputy Minister.
HELPMANN:
Thank you, David ... and a very merry
Christmas to you all.
14 EXT. HOUSING TOWERSNIGHT 14
ZOOMING past foreground outdoor Xmas decorations we
TIGHTEN in on one of several massive residential tower
blocks that loom over what appears to be a poorer part of
the city
HELPMANN and INTERVIEWER are on the TV, the end credits
rolling over them to the beat of a Mozart theme tune.
PULLING BACK we reveal that the TV is in a conventional
sitting room, conventionally decorated for Christmas; out
the room is oddly encumbered by huge metal conduits that
snake unpleasantly across and through the walls. Smaller
conduits radiate from the main one connecting the various
services that Central Services (the name emblazoned on the
metal) supply to this household. A conventionally poor but
proud family occupies the room. MRS BUTTLE is reading
Dickens' Christmas Carol to GIRL BUTTLE who is about six.
BOY BUTTLE plays quietly with a toy machine gun and some
action men dressed in security gear. MR. BUTTLE is putting
the final touches to a neatly wrapped Christmas present
which looks identical to the "executive toy" we have just
seen in he TECHNICIAN'S office.
Faintly from outside comes a burst of laughter. A tilt of
the CAMERA indicates that the laughter is coming from the
floor above.
The flat is very bare and basic. The laughter is coming
from a cheap portable television showing "Sgt. Bilko. From
BILKO'S POV we look through an open door of a bathroom
straight at a mirror propped up by the bath, to enable the
person in the bath to watch the TV. The person in the bath
is JILL LAYTON, washing the grime off herself while she
watches Bilko in the mirror. From her POV in the mirror,
the T.V. screen is suddenly obscured by part of the body
of a MAN in uniform.
JILL:
(scared)
Who's there?
17 INT. BUTTLE'S FLAT NIGHT 17
The BUTTLE FAMILY as before. MRS BUTTLE is closing the
book.
MRS BUTTLE:
There, that's enough for tonight. He
won't come Xmas Eve if you don't get
plenty of sleep.
GIRL BUTTLE:
Father Christmas can't come if we
haven't got a chimney.
MRS BUTTLE:
You'll see.
The GIRL exchanges goodnight kisses with her parents and
leaves the room.
