Loving Miss Hatto Page #5

I shout out, you're going to pedal.

Mm-hm?

Sustain!

Soft!

Sustain!

Soft!

Oh, Serge!

You called, m'lady?

I was talking to the dog.

So hard to tell.

Now, I bet Miss Hatto has never

mentioned this, has she?

Wow!

Or this?

And this, you are

the first people to see this.

Now, this isn't even

in the shops yet.

Bax?

Not easy to play, unless you happen

to be Miss Hatto, of course.

And when Miss Hatto plays

the Festival Hall... there will,

of course, be two seats reserved

in the name of Birdy and Pilks.

The Festival Hall - that's so posh!

And just to prove I'm not completely

useless myself - make a tray -

make a tray!

Present from Golders Green via

Hong Kong - the smallest

Dictaphone in the world.

It's like Crackerjack!

Do you have any comment to make?

Right, scrap that one...

suppose we start with the Bach?

No, these are big concert halls,

you have to start with a bang,

set your stall out.

Prokofiev.

No messing about.

Right, scribble this down

because I am in the groove, daddy-o.

Right, Prokofiev to kick off.

I've got a big hole in my second

half, then.

Yes? Mr Coup,

we're from Customs and Excise.

Joyce. What?

It's not about the dog again, is it?

We try and keep him in!

It's about the radios.

Radios?

It's just a muddle.

Are they all here, Mr Coupe?

No, no, there are some

in the garage and, er,

some in the box room

on the top floor.

Start upstairs, Mendelssohn,

you can get Parker to help.

A policeman called Mendelssohn!

We'll need all the paperwork,

of course.

Yes, yes, of course.

Sorry, er, I don't understand.

Are the radios faulty,

are they being recalled?

It's a purchase tax issue.

We're impounding them.

It's just a muddle, Joycey.

I'll just have to go with them

to sort it out.

Not today, though, surely!

I'm preparing some

important concerts

and we need to sort out

the programme.

I'm afraid we don't usually arrest

people at their own convenience.

Can we take the gentleman

up with us, sir, make sure we're

taking the right things?

Do you know how long it will take?

I was going to do chops.

I can't say. We won't starve him.

I don't understand what's happened.

He's been importing all sorts

of things for nearly a year.

So we've gathered.

He may have got in a muddle

with his paperwork.

We've been a bit distracted

planning these concerts.

I mean, it's not a serious of fence?

It's a very serious of fence.

Dog behaving himself?

Yes. That's good.

Not knocked over any more gnomes?

No.

How's the playing?

What playing would that be?

Oh, come on, Joyce.

Would that be the playing

for the big concert series?

I had to cancel that, didn't I?

Because the promoter's

on trial at the Old Bailey.
