oh, that was amazing.

It was. I never expected that,

that you'd come prepared.

Oh, no, he was right.

I was nicking them.

Yeah, Eddie uses them to patch

the tent up for when we go camping.

All the same. Listen, don't worry about

Monty, I'll handle him. Don't worry.

Can I have them back?

Oh, yeah.

Cheers.

What are you gonna say to them?

You tell them.

You what?

This is your fault.

All right. Hold that.

Right.

Everybody out.

I can't believe it.

It's all right.

I could do

with a cup of tea.

I could do with something

a lot stronger than that.

Now, I realize this is

my first day in the job

and it may be

that I am missing something here,

but when we were elected

two years ago,

it was on a wave

of optimism

that Labour would utilize its

close relationship with the unions

to develop manufacturing industry

so that it would better serve

the employer

and the employee.

Yes, I think that was

in the manifesto.

It was. Trust me.

So, what have you been doing

since 1966?

I...

Two years this department has had

in which

to make a difference.

Shall we see what has been

achieved in the last 12 months?

Twenty-six thousand strikes

in the United Kingdom,

with the resulting loss

of 5 million working days.

Unions and management

barely talking to each other,

productivity levels

through the floor,

and our balance of payments,

the wrong side of catastrophic.

It's hardly the stuff to set

the champagne corks popping, is it?

Thank you.

See yourselves out.

Here you are, babes,

you forgot your flask.

I love you Dave, cheers.

You too, darling. Good luck.

You get stuck in, girls.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Monica, that's yours.

Cheers, love.

Happy with that.

It's a holiday.

What's this? A mothers' meeting?

Hey, cheeky sod. Are you all right?

How you getting on?

Give us half a chance.

Good luck.

See you later.

Come on, ladies, let's hear you.

Bye. See you later.

Cheers, Eddie.

What have you done to your eyes?

It's amazing, isn't it?

My friend showed me how.

Scouts everywhere. That's

how Twiggy got discovered.

Up west, you dozy sod,

not Dagenham.

You never know.

We'd better shut this gate.

I've spelt it right,

haven't I?

Close the gate.

I know.

At least they know we're serious, eh?

Not as helpless as they thought.

Come on then, girls.

No more seats today, Mr. Ford.

Come on, girls, let's get together.

What if we form a line or something?

Line up there.

Yeah.

Hold the banners up.

- We need some in the back.

- Standing?

- Like that.

- Come on, then.

That's it.

Here we go.

Like this?

Yeah.

They're running low

on finished seats.

So get these down

to the Cortina line,
