9 00:01:32 Stop!
10 00:01:36 Papers!
11 00:01:38 Of course, Captain.
12 00:01:47 - The pig was beautiful, Dawsey.- Shh.
13 00:01:52 - That bloody pie, though.- You are breaking curfew.
14 00:01:56 What is the purpose of your assembly?
15 00:01:58 - We... We were just...- Reading.
16 00:02:02 We have a book club, you see.
17 00:02:05 You know the authorities are tryingto encourage cultural association
18 00:02:09 as part of your model occupation.
19 00:02:12 Yes, yes, book lovers, that's us.
20 00:02:15 What is the name of your club?
21 00:02:17 - Erm...- Erm...

23 00:02:24 The Guernsey Literaryand Potato Peel Pie...
24 00:02:27 The Guernsey Literaryand Potato Peel Pie Society.
25 00:02:30 It should be on the list.Guernsey Literary...
26 00:02:34 You're not confiscatingpotato peelings yet, are you?
27 00:02:41 This is an illegal assembly.
28 00:02:43 You will come with us. All of you!
29 00:02:51 Are you all right, Eben?
30 00:02:53 Shall I help put him into your car?
31 00:02:55 You will register this group...first thing in the morning!
32 00:03:00 Thank you.
33 00:03:32 - Oh, so "The Times" have been onto me.- Fresh paint!
34 00:03:36 When was the last time you saw that?
35 00:03:38 Oh...
36 00:03:39 One might almost believethe war is really over.
37 00:03:43 Yes, they want you to doan article
38 00:03:45 about reading.
39 00:03:46 No. Sidney, no. I don't thinkI'm much up for any more Izzy.
40 00:03:51 Actually, they want Juliet Ashton.
41 00:03:53 It's your own voice this time.I've said yes.
42 00:03:55 Huh! Have you?
43 00:03:58 Well, you might have said no,and I make better decisions.
44 00:04:00 So, your book tour starts Monday week.Bath to Yorkshire.
45 00:04:03 "The Times" will fill the gap nicely...
46 00:04:06 There we are.
47 00:04:08 Oh, speaking of which, here we are.
48 00:04:12 Our stop.
49 00:04:14 Thank you.
50 00:04:17 - Miss Ashton?- Yes?
51 00:04:19 Have you always wantedto be a writer?
52 00:04:21 Always, yes.
53 00:04:22 It's the perfect job.Sitting, indoors, always near a teapot.
54 00:04:29 It has its ups and downs.
55 00:04:30 My first book, "A Critical Biographyof Anne Brontë", sold only...
56 00:04:35 How many copies, Sidney?
57 00:04:37 - My publisher, Mr Sidney Stark.- Twenty-eight copies.
58 00:04:41 Worldwide.
59 00:04:43 Why Izzy Bickerstaff?Why not write under your real name?
60 00:04:49 Erm... I'm not surewhich came to me first,
61 00:04:53 Izzy's name or his voice.
62 00:04:56 In either case, they both seemedto suit the tone of the task.
63 00:05:00 Much better than my own.
64 00:05:01 Are you working on a new book?
65 00:05:03 Well, I'm not sureI'd call Izzy a book
66 00:05:06 as much as a collectionof faintly amusing essays.
67 00:05:11 Yes, I am.
68 00:05:13 English foibles.Er, a miscellany of English absurdity.
69 00:05:17 For example, there's a London societyfor public decency...
70 00:05:22 which advocates trousers for horses.
71 00:05:40 Oh. A pleasure to meet you, Miss Ashton.A delight. I'm such a huge fan.
72 00:05:46 Oh. Thank you.
73 00:05:48 Oh, poor old Izzy.Had no use for a war, did he?
74 00:05:52 Only wanted to be left alonewith his pint.
75 00:05:54 Here we are.
76 00:05:57 Quite frankly, Izzy Bickerstaff's whyyou get first dibs here, Miss Ashton.
77 00:06:03 But you mustn't dally. No.
78 00:06:05 It's sure to go in a flash.
79 00:06:47 Father's paperweight.
80 00:06:49 Juliet. Juliet.
81 00:06:52 Where are you?Come back from the edge!
82 00:07:00 It's all right.
83 00:07:05 Pure crystal.
84 00:07:08 Oh, yes. Yes, that's very nice.
85 00:07:11 Do you...
86 00:07:13 see the crystal, Juliet?
87 00:07:16 Lovely.
88 00:07:19 Wonderful viewof Kensington Gardens.
89 00:07:23 Albert Hall round the corner.
90 00:07:25 It's a steal at this price.
91 00:07:29 It is beautiful.
92 00:07:30 I knew you'd love it.
93 00:07:34 I'm terribly sorry.
94 00:07:41 At long last you can affordsomething smart. Rejoice.
95 00:07:43 I feel a complete fraud here.
96 00:07:45 Juliet, you really do need something betterthan a poky bedsit in Battersea,
97 00:07:48 with three suitcases and a typewriter.
98 00:07:51 - I realise.- Oh, I see...
99 00:07:54 Poor thing! You feelyou haven't suffered enough.
100 00:07:56 I expect not.
101 00:07:58 Well, far be it for me to relieve youof your solemn duty, but I'll tell you what...
102 00:08:03 We will buy new flats for everyone elsein London who was bombed out,
103 00:08:07 just as soon as Izzy hits number one.Will that make it better?
104 00:08:10 It is a strong start.
105 00:08:16 This could be a proper home.
106 00:08:19 It is a proper home, Sidney.
107 00:08:21 It's just not mine.
108 00:08:36 - Excuse me.- Hey, come on, don't be shy!
109 00:08:43 Coming through.
110 00:08:47 You'll need an enormous windowto put your desk in front of.
111 00:08:51 You don't get enough sun as it is.Waiter, I'll keep the bottle.
112 00:08:54 Fireplace to keep you warm...when you're not with me.
113 00:08:58 Markham Reynolds.
114 00:09:01 Diplomat and clairvoyant.You're a wonder.
115 00:09:04 At your service.
116 00:09:06 Right.
117 00:09:08 Now, what good is a windowif I haven't given you a view?
118 00:09:25 Watch this.
119 00:09:43 Mr Reynolds.
120 00:09:45 - I've asked you to stop.- Oh God, you've been caught.
121 00:09:48 Yet still you persist. Look at this.
122 00:09:50 Do you imagine I've got a storeroom justbrimming with vases for my tenants to use?
123 00:09:54 I apologise again, Mrs Burns.
124 00:09:57 Times are tough.
125 00:09:58 Florists, they need the work.
126 00:10:00 Flowers. Hope she knowswhat a lucky girl she is.
127 00:10:04 - Come on.- Goodbye, Mrs Burns.
128 00:10:09 - Goodnight.- Goodnight.
129 00:10:12 - Your mail.- Ah...
130 00:10:14 - Thank you.- And your flowers.
131 00:10:15 Oh... Oh, please keep the flowersfor yourself, Mrs Burns, won't you?
132 00:10:20 Oh, thank you.
133 00:10:22 And no more typing, now, Miss Ashton.It's well after ten.
134 00:10:25 OK.
135 00:10:27 Sound of that clatter.Worse than gunfire!
136 00:10:36 Forwarded from Oakley Street.
137 00:10:43 "Dear Miss Ashton,my name is Dawsey Adams.
138 00:10:46 "I live on my farmon the island of Guernsey."
139 00:10:49 Guernsey?
140 00:10:59 "I know of youbecause I have an old book,
141 00:11:02 "'The Selected Essays of Elia',by Charles Lamb,
142 00:11:06 "that has your nameand address written inside."
143 00:11:09 'I've read it many times.
144 00:11:12 'There wasn't much else to do hereduring the occupation
145 00:11:14 'and Charles Lamb made me laugh.'
146 00:11:16 "Especially when he wroteabout the roast pig."
147 00:11:20 'I am part of a book club,
148 00:11:22 'The Guernsey Literaryand Potato Peel Pie Society.
149 00:11:26 'We actually formed because we had tokeep a roast pig secret from the Germans.
150 00:11:31 'So, I like Charles Lamb,which is why I'm writing to you.
151 00:11:36 'The Germans are gone now,but there are no bookshops left on Guernsey.
152 00:11:40 'I am looking for a copy of Charles Lamb's"Tales From Shakespeare",
153 00:11:44 'which I understand he wrote for children.
154 00:11:46 'Could you send me the addressof a bookshop in London?
155 00:11:50 'I hope not to trouble you.Dawsey Adams.'
156 00:11:54 'Dear Mr Adams,
157 00:11:55 'I'm so pleased your letter found meand that my book found you.
158 00:11:59 'It was a sad wrench to part with Mr Lamb,but I was rather low on funds at the time.
159 00:12:05 'Perhaps there is some secretsort of homing instincts in books
160 00:12:08 - 'that brings them to their perfect readers.'- Thank you.
161 00:12:11 'How delightful if that were true.'
162 00:12:13 - Here.- I'll take it.
163 00:12:17 'I have located Lamb's "Shakespeare"and I am happy to present it to you
164 00:12:21 'in exchange for the answersto three questions.
165 00:12:24 'Why did a roasted pighave to be kept a secret?
166 00:12:27 'How could a pig cause youto begin a literary society?
167 00:12:30 'And, most pressing of all,what is a potato peel pie?'
168 00:13:08 Hi.
169 00:13:41 - Try it.- No.
170 00:13:58 That dress is too lovelyto have a cloud parked on your forehead.
171 00:14:13 Do you ever feel like we've emergedfrom a long black tunnel into a carnival?
172 00:14:18 Do you not like carnivals?
173 00:14:25 After the long black tunnel,a carnival's wonderful. Let's dance.
174 00:14:43 You know, I've been givingsome more thought to your view.
175 00:14:45 Sidney has lined upsome more flats for me to see.
176 00:14:49 - It's just a matter of making the time.- It's occurred to me...
177 00:14:52 There's apartments on Fifth Avenue.Look out over Central Park.
178 00:14:58 With views of the lake,the entire reservoir...
179 00:15:03 There's even a little pondwhere kids sail model boats.
180 00:15:08 I've never been to New York.
181 00:15:10 Well, it would be really funto show you my city.
182 00:15:14 That's something worth thinking about.
183 00:16:12 'Dear Miss Ashton.
184 00:16:13 'Thank you for finding me a copyof Mr Lamb's "Tales From Shakespeare".
185 00:16:17 'And even more for sending it as a gift.
186 00:16:20 'I am happy to settle this debtby answering your questions.'
187 00:16:34 'A roast pighad to be kept a secret
188 00:16:37 'because the Germanstook all our animals away in 1940,
189 00:16:41 'to feed their soldiers on the Continent.'
190 00:16:42 This is my farm! These are my pigs!
191 00:16:45 'It was against the lawto keep even one.'
192 00:16:55 Yes.
193 00:16:58 'They ordered meto grow potatoes.
194 00:17:05 'Food was already scarceby the first winter of the occupation.
195 00:17:09 'A proper meal was had only in memory.
196 00:17:12 'Like our radios, which they'd taken.
197 00:17:15 'And the post, which they'd suspended.
198 00:17:18 'And the telegraph cablesthat they'd cut.
199 00:17:21 'We lived our lives in isolation.
200 00:17:25 'Then one day...'
201 00:17:41 Butcher's knife?
202 00:17:55 Mrs Maugery.
203 00:17:58 How can I help?
204 00:18:00 See? I told you he'd come.
205 00:18:10 Hey, old girl!
206 00:18:11 'While Mrs Maugeryhad hidden the pig away...'
207 00:18:14 I hope you don't think less of me.
208 00:18:17 '...the idea of roasting itand hosting a dinner
209 00:18:20 'belonged to Elizabeth McKenna.'
210 00:18:28 Oh...
211 00:18:32 Mm... Oh!
212 00:18:38 'We were all hungry,
213 00:18:40 'but it was Elizabethwho realised our true starvation -
214 00:18:45 'for connection,the company of other people.
215 00:18:49 'For fellowship.'
216 00:18:55 - Amelia?- Oh.
217 00:18:58 - Thank you so much for having me.- Oh, it's a pleasure! Oh, my goodness!
218 00:19:02 'Miss Isola Pribby,another neighbour,
219 00:19:05 'provided the gin,which she makes herself,
220 00:19:08 'along with other herbal remediesand home cures.'
221 00:19:12 That's what we've got tonight.
222 00:19:23 Miss Pribby.
223 00:19:30 Oh, thank you.
224 00:19:34 - Cheers.- Cheers.
225 00:19:44 - May I take your coat?- Oh...
226 00:19:56 Dawsey, didn't know you'd be here.
227 00:19:58 - Evening, Eben.- Ah, Amelia.
228 00:20:00 'Eben Ramsey,our local postmaster, brought...'
229 00:20:04 An entirely new creation.
230 00:20:09 A potato peel pie.
231 00:20:10 No butter, no flour, just potatoes...
232 00:20:16 and potato peelings.
233 00:20:18 - Oh.- Wonderful.
234 00:20:19 That sounds lovely.
235 00:20:21 Pat Murphy was getting on a bitand he sort of lost his spark.
236 00:20:24 'We all knew each other,of course, but not well.
237 00:20:27 'It was Elizabeth we had in common.
238 00:20:29 'And for a few hours,she brought us together
239 00:20:32 'and helped us forget the occupation,the Germans, war,
240 00:20:36 'everything we had lost,and to remember our humanity.'
241 00:20:40 It was for her husband.And he was found underneath his wife.
242 00:20:44 - Oh, no.- Maybe he died of natural causes,
243 00:20:46 - but it was probably my tincture.- Really?
244 00:20:51 Stop!
245 00:20:53 What is the name of your club?
246 00:20:58 'After that, we had no choice
247 00:21:00 'but to make the Guernsey Literaryand Potato Peel Pie Society real.'
248 00:21:24 Careful.
249 00:21:28 Here. Take that.
250 00:21:34 'Hmm.
251 00:21:36 'And this is howI came to know of Charles Lamb.'
252 00:21:45 You can't read it now.
253 00:21:50 Oh, my God!
254 00:21:55 OK, let's go, go, go.
255 00:21:58 Last log.
256 00:22:00 There's this oneby Anthony Trollope.
257 00:22:03 - Anyone interested?- Yes.
258 00:22:05 Let him have that one,I don't want to read that.
259 00:22:07 Mary Shelley.
260 00:22:09 Yeats? WB Yeats?
261 00:22:11 - Oh...- Not for me.
262 00:22:13 Jane Austen knew
263 00:22:15 whereof she spoke,and she spoke most elegantly.
264 00:22:19 Manners is what holdsa society together.
265 00:22:22 That, and a reliable postal service.
266 00:22:27 At bottom, proprietyis concern for other people.
267 00:22:34 When that goes out the window,the gates of hell are surely opened
268 00:22:41 and ignorance is king.
269 00:22:44 Shh.
270 00:22:46 Shh.
271 00:22:51 'The monitor never returned.
272 00:22:55 'Our Friday night book clubbecame a refuge to us.
273 00:22:59 'A private freedom to feelthe world growing darker all around you,
274 00:23:03 'but need only a candleto see new worlds unfold.
275 00:23:08 'That is what we found in our society.'
276 00:23:16 'But I don't need to tell you this.
277 00:23:18 'You already know what books can do.
278 00:23:21 'That's something we share,different as our lives may be.'
279 00:23:43 'Dear Mr Adams.
280 00:23:46 'Books have been a refuge for me, too.
281 00:23:58 'When I lost my parents,
282 00:24:00 'it was the world of bookswhere I made my home. They saved me.
283 00:24:04 'Absolutely.
284 00:24:06 'I beg your forgiveness in advancein inviting myself,
285 00:24:09 'but I must come and meet your society.
286 00:24:11 'I so hope that you might allow meto sit in on your meeting
287 00:24:13 'and to learn more of your story.
288 00:24:16 'Let's lay the blameat Charles Lamb's feet
289 00:24:18 'in allowing me to thinkI might be welcome at all.
290 00:24:23 'Yours sincerely, Juliet Ashton.'
291 00:24:28 'PS. While I am a reader first,I am also a writer.
292 00:24:32 'I offer this as proofthat I come to you in peace.'
293 00:24:39 - Sidney. Sidney.- Hold on one second.
294 00:24:42 What the Dickens did I...?Mrs B? Thank you.
295 00:24:45 Juliet, you cannot go to a book club meetingon the island of Guernsey.
296 00:24:50 It's a leap of faiththey'll even let me in.
297 00:24:52 You're reading in Cambridge, Friday.
298 00:24:54 But the Society, they meet on a Friday.
299 00:24:56 I can't wait. I'll only be gonethe weekend, back Monday.
300 00:24:58 - Edinburgh.- You're in Edinburgh Monday!
301 00:25:02 I don't know why we provide youwith an itinerary, I really don't.
302 00:25:05 I don't. I just don't.
303 00:25:07 Well, this is your fault.You said "yes" to "The Times".
304 00:25:09 Excuse me, my fault?
305 00:25:11 Sidney, what books,what reading did for these people,
306 00:25:17 finally, I'll havesomething serious to write.
307 00:25:19 Hmm. This wouldn't be just to get out ofreading Izzy in Cambridge, would it?
308 00:25:26 You're not... You're not running away?
309 00:25:29 Ha-ha-ha! You're too funny.
310 00:25:32 Well, I can't imagine Markwould let you get very far anyway.
311 00:25:35 - "Let me."- Hm-hmm.
312 00:25:49 You have everything you need?
313 00:25:51 Erm... Yes, I do.
314 00:25:55 - Say that again.- What? I have everything.
315 00:25:58 Mark, it's the English Channel,not the China Seas.
316 00:26:02 Say, "I do." Or simply say, "Yes."
317 00:26:08 What?
318 00:26:12 Juliet...
319 00:26:15 Let me give you your perfect home.
320 00:26:18 I already know mine's with you.
321 00:26:19 Whether it's here or New Yorkor the North Pole.
322 00:26:25 I wanna make that home together. Ours.
323 00:26:31 Say you'll marry me, Juliet.
324 00:26:40 Yes.
325 00:26:41 I know we've only been togetherfor six months,
326 00:26:43 - but they've been the happiest...- Yes!
327 00:26:45 Yes!
328 00:26:49 Congratulations!
329 00:26:52 Erm...
330 00:26:54 If you just...
331 00:28:27 I'll get another load.

382 00:33:47 - Rather suddenly.- Oh, I know.
383 00:33:49 I do hope I'm not imposing.
384 00:33:53 Well, here you are.
385 00:33:55 Come in.
386 00:33:58 Thank you.
387 00:34:01 Erm, Miss Ashton.
388 00:34:02 Oh, Juliet, please. I'm afraidI've made a mistake in inviting...
389 00:34:05 No, no, no, no.We are thrilled to have you.
390 00:34:09 The last real-life author we hadwas Clara Saussey.
391 00:34:12 She read her cookbook to us back in '44.
392 00:34:15 Barely escaped with her life.
393 00:34:19 We were famished.
394 00:34:21 I'm Isola Pribby.
395 00:34:23 So happy to make your acquaintance.
396 00:34:27 Erm, I'm... so happy to join you.
397 00:34:29 Erm...
398 00:34:32 - Has Mr Adams arrived yet?- Dawsey?
399 00:34:35 I've yet to meet him.
400 00:34:38 You've conjured him.
401 00:34:41 And your society's founder...
402 00:34:43 Erm, your society's founder,Elizabeth McKenna?
403 00:34:46 - I'm so looking forward to meeting her.- You won't be meeting her.
404 00:34:50 Oh...
405 00:34:52 She's off-island at present.
406 00:34:55 Fair Juliet.
407 00:34:58 - Ah...- We meet again.
408 00:35:00 Eben.
409 00:35:24 So, who's presenting tonight?
410 00:35:26 - Why, you are, of course.- Me?
411 00:35:28 Yeah, we were hoping you'd read
412 00:35:30 at least the first chapter for us.
413 00:35:33 None of us having had a chance yetto read it for ourselves.
414 00:35:36 - But we can't start without...- Dawsey!
415 00:35:43 - Erm, hello.- Hello.
416 00:35:49 - Dawsey Adams.- Juliet Ashton.
417 00:35:52 - You two have met.- In a way, yes.
418 00:35:55 Earlier.
419 00:35:57 Nearly killed heron the steps of The Crown today.
420 00:36:01 Oh, I was thinking in a past life.
421 00:36:05 But this afternoon does make sense.
422 00:36:09 Thank you again for the books.
423 00:36:13 Thank you.
424 00:36:14 Miss Ashton was just getting readyto read to us from her book.
425 00:36:17 Yes, well,
426 00:36:18 - let's have a crack at her then, shall we?- Right.
427 00:36:24 Fair Juliet.
428 00:36:26 Here?
429 00:36:29 Best of luck.See you on the other side.
430 00:36:38 Right, erm...
431 00:36:40 The presenter usually stands.
432 00:36:42 Oh.
433 00:36:49 Begin.
434 00:36:57 Anne Brontë. A Life.
435 00:37:01 You think Anne Brontëis better than Charlotte?
436 00:37:04 - I agree.- I do not.
437 00:37:06 "The Tenant of Wildfell Hall" a moreimportant book than "Wuthering Heights"?
438 00:37:11 - No, no, no...- The idea!
439 00:37:13 - No, not better.- I agree with you.
440 00:37:15 I'm saying that Anneis more modern than Emily.
441 00:37:18 Particularly with respectto the status of women.
442 00:37:20 More so than Charlotte Brontëwhen she wrote "Jane Eyre"?
443 00:37:23 Very doubtful.Doubtful, doubtful, doubtful.
444 00:37:25 "Do you think because I am poor,obscure, plain and little,
445 00:37:30 "that I am soulless and heartless?You think wrong!
446 00:37:33 "I have as much soul as you!And full as much heart!"
447 00:37:37 Oh! You did that beautifully!
448 00:37:40 I do love "Jane Eyre".
449 00:37:42 - As do I!- "Jane Eyre"?
450 00:37:43 As do I! And while Jane's assertion,
451 00:37:46 "I have as much soul as you,"was remarkable, directed to a gentleman,
452 00:37:50 it only begins to get at the ideaof equality between them.
453 00:37:54 In "Wildfell Hall", Anne Brontë laid barethe essential imbalance of power
454 00:37:58 between men and womenin the suffocating hierarchal structure
455 00:38:01 of Victorian marriage.
456 00:38:03 She challenged the conventional thinkingof an entire society
457 00:38:07 and changed people's minds.
458 00:38:11 - Well done.- Oh, I had no idea.
459 00:38:13 Anne Brontë, she did quite a bit,didn't she?
460 00:38:16 Well done, Miss Ashton.
461 00:38:18 - You kept going!- Splendid!
462 00:38:19 Against all the arguments!
463 00:38:21 But I'm afraid you've yet to havethe full experience.
464 00:38:25 - Oh!- I find that difficult to believe.
465 00:38:28 That's the second attackyou've survived today. It's good.
466 00:38:31 - An authentic potato peel pie.- Oh!
467 00:38:36 Original recipe.
468 00:38:37 Er, no butter, no flour.
469 00:38:40 No, er... Well, it's potatoes
470 00:38:44 and potato peelings.
471 00:38:46 You'll want this gin quick after.
472 00:38:49 Oh...
473 00:38:50 - A little taste.- Is this safe?
474 00:38:53 - It's just potatoes.- Oh, erm...
475 00:39:01 Quick. Here.
476 00:39:08 It... It's the worst!
477 00:39:12 - It's just awful!- It's horrible. Horrible.
478 00:39:17 - The gin's very good though!- Oh! She likes mine!
479 00:39:21 Ooh. Still, Mr Ramsey, I would loveto get the recipe from you if I could.
480 00:39:26 She's mad drunk already.
481 00:39:27 It would be lovely to include in the article.People adore that sort of detail.
482 00:39:32 Article?
483 00:39:35 What article?
484 00:39:37 Oh, forgive me.I've gotten ahead of myself.
485 00:39:41 "The Times" has asked meto write an article on reading
486 00:39:44 and I'd like very muchto write about you.
487 00:39:47 All of you. The Society.
488 00:39:49 You painted such a vivid storyin your letters.
489 00:39:53 You came to write about us?
490 00:39:54 It's for "The London Times".
491 00:39:57 I mean, only with all your permission,of course.
492 00:40:00 I'm sure there aremore interesting subjects to write on.
493 00:40:03 Oh, no, but your...
494 00:40:04 The story of your groupand how it was formed, I'm sure that...
495 00:40:08 - so many would find it as inspiring as I.- Oh, I don't think so.
496 00:40:11 - Oh, no, I'm certain they would.- No!
497 00:40:15 I'm sure we're not interested in inspiringthe readers of "The London Times".
498 00:40:21 Thank you all the same.
499 00:40:23 I see, I'm sorry. I...
500 00:40:26 I'm sorry to press,but I'd like to understand.
501 00:40:28 But how could you understand?
502 00:40:33 And, er, and...
503 00:40:37 And people... people wouldn't.
504 00:40:46 I'm sorry you've come all this wayfor nothing.
505 00:40:57 I had a dream.
506 00:40:59 Come here.
507 00:41:09 - And who's this?- This is Kit. Elizabeth's daughter.
508 00:41:15 Daddy...
509 00:41:17 Can we go home now?
510 00:41:21 Yes.
511 00:41:22 We're going soon.
512 00:41:36 I'm so sorryif I embarrassed you.
513 00:41:39 I feel I owe you an enormous apology.
514 00:41:41 An apology for what?
515 00:41:45 For assuming your friends were mine,
516 00:41:48 making myself the uninvited guestand a complete ass.
517 00:41:55 And for imagining everyone would think
518 00:41:56 being featured in "The London Times"was just a glorious gift.
519 00:41:59 Amelia is a private person.I wouldn't give it too much thought.
520 00:42:04 You sent two books to a stranger.You can't be all bad, Miss Ashton.
521 00:42:09 I'd feel much betterif you called me Juliet.
522 00:42:15 Thank you for coming and for letting meput a face to the name, Juliet.
523 00:42:21 Oh. Thank you.
524 00:42:26 Goodnight, then.
525 00:42:27 Gniet.
526 00:42:35 Huh!
527 00:42:45 I believe I mentionedI liked to lock my door by nine.
528 00:42:49 Oh, sorry.
529 00:42:51 - I... I hope I didn't keep you up.- You did.
530 00:42:55 - 10:15 you came in.- I was at Amelia Maugery's,
531 00:42:59 meeting with the reading group.
532 00:43:02 - There was such a lot to talk about.- I know who you were with.
533 00:43:05 They're never short of talk.
534 00:43:07 You just be wise not to believeeverything they tell you.
535 00:43:12 Erm, I don't understand.
536 00:43:14 There's more to that storythan they like to let on.
537 00:43:18 More to what story?
538 00:43:22 Miss Ashton,I have never been one to gossip.
539 00:43:25 So the less said on any of it,the better.
540 00:43:29 What...
541 00:43:35 'Well, you'll be happy to learn
542 00:43:37 'I did read before an audiencelast night, after all.'
543 00:43:39 Oh yes? Your farmer-in-the-dellput you to work, did he?
544 00:43:43 'How did Izzy playin the Channel Islands?'
545 00:43:45 Actually, they requested that I readfrom the Brontë biography.
546 00:43:48 'Blimey, wherever did they dig one up?'
547 00:43:50 It was a very big hit.
548 00:43:52 Oh, I'm sure it was.
549 00:43:54 Oh, stone the crows, Mrs B.Good morning.
550 00:43:57 But, erm...
551 00:44:00 They don't want mewriting about them.
552 00:44:02 'Oh, a tremendous hit!I get you back early now.'
553 00:44:05 Are you on your way, darling?
554 00:44:07 - 'W-Well, er...'- Oh, Mrs B, rebook Edinburgh
555 00:44:10 - for a week Tu...- 'No, no, Sidney.'
556 00:44:13 - I'm still here.- 'What on earth for?'
557 00:44:17 Listen, erm...
558 00:44:19 - Sidney, I have other news.- 'All right.'
559 00:44:22 - I'm bracing myself for it.- 'Er...
560 00:44:26 'I...
561 00:44:28 'I hope you won't mind giving me away.'
562 00:44:31 What's that?
563 00:44:33 I'm engaged.
564 00:44:37 To be married. Mark proposed.
565 00:44:42 'Sidney?
566 00:44:45 'Sidney?'
567 00:44:49 Yes, darling, hello.
568 00:44:51 Erm, congratulations.That's marvellous news. The best news.
569 00:44:57 - Are you happy?- 'Yes. Happy.'
570 00:45:01 Are you sure?
571 00:45:02 - Yes, Sidney! I'm very happy.- 'All right, I'm very happy too, then.'
572 00:45:08 - And Mark? Mark happy?- 'Yes.'
573 00:45:12 - 'Mark there with you?'- No, he...
574 00:45:17 Well, he sprung it on me at the boat.I came alone.
575 00:45:21 Sid... Sidney, hello? Sidney?
576 00:45:28 One and 11, please.
577 00:45:38 Are you enjoying the Kipling?
578 00:45:40 I am. I'm still catching up.
579 00:45:42 Didn't have much school in Dereham.
580 00:45:44 But the Society have taken me in hand.
581 00:45:47 I'll be a geniusby the end of the year.
582 00:45:49 What were you doing in Dereham?
583 00:45:50 It's where I was sent for the war,when they evacuated us kids.
584 00:45:54 Didn't know they evacuated here as well.
585 00:45:55 Right before the occupation,
586 00:45:57 when the Germanswere just across the water in France.
587 00:46:00 Everyone knewthey'd be coming here next.
588 00:46:02 We only heard the night before.England sent ships.
589 00:46:09 Let's have a look at you.
590 00:46:14 Come here, now. Wait.
591 00:46:20 Move it, please.Right the way along.
592 00:46:24 Mind your step.
593 00:46:29 Take a label, please. Labels.
594 00:46:32 Go. Go, go, go.
595 00:46:34 Come on, that's it.Quickly now.
596 00:46:36 Come on, everyone.Take a label. Keep it safe.
597 00:46:40 Thank you.
598 00:46:49 There.
599 00:46:53 There we go.
600 00:46:55 Ready for your adventure?Come with me.
601 00:46:58 Give me your hand.
602 00:47:01 I promise I'll look after your grandfather, Eli.Don't worry.
603 00:47:04 Even you can't fight the Germans,Miss, when they come.
604 00:47:08 And they might come to England, too.
605 00:47:12 Give me your hand.
606 00:47:15 My father was given thisin the Great War, for courage.
607 00:47:21 And the thing is, anyone who keeps it closecan't help but be brave,
608 00:47:25 even when they're scared.
609 00:47:27 Do you feel it?
610 00:47:30 Well, you need to rub it then.The magic only starts when it gets warm.
611 00:47:35 I feel it now!
612 00:47:37 That's a good lad.Now, you bring that back safe to me.
613 00:47:41 'Strictly no parents to board.'
614 00:47:44 - There he is.- 'Strictly no parents to board.'
615 00:47:48 'Worst day of the war.
616 00:47:51 'It nearly broke us, that day.
617 00:47:55 'When the Germans landeda few days later,
618 00:47:58 'we were only half here.
619 00:48:02 'Our hearts were already elsewhere.'
620 00:48:12 Cor, it's worn smooth.
621 00:48:14 - I needed a lot of courage.- Oh, cheer up, Eli.
622 00:48:18 You'll give it back to her.
623 00:48:19 There's people coming homeall the time, just like you.
624 00:48:23 Coming home?
625 00:48:26 How long has Elizabeth been gone?
626 00:48:30 Oh, what a day that was.
627 00:48:33 Eli was the first boy down the gangway.
628 00:48:37 He'd grown long legs in five years.Who would recognise him?
629 00:48:41 Me, I would.
630 00:48:45 Care for a scone? Fresh baked.
631 00:48:48 The Germans arrested her in '44.Sent her to the Continent.
632 00:48:51 Arrested her? Why?
633 00:48:54 I don't know. I wasn't there.
634 00:48:57 And they don't say.
635 00:49:10 I was hoping to bribe you for a tourin exchange for some of Eben's scones.
636 00:49:17 - Much better than his potato pie.- Yes.
637 00:49:21 - I hope so.- Come on.
638 00:49:24 Thank you.
639 00:49:28 - Come on!- Careful, Kit!
640 00:49:30 - It's OK!- Whoa!
641 00:49:32 She knows where she's going.
642 00:49:34 Oh, oh, oh, no!
643 00:49:44 Sorry, I would take my shoes offif it weren't for all the wire.
644 00:49:48 Don't you worry about the wire.
645 00:49:50 It's the minesyou want to be careful of.
646 00:49:53 The mines?
647 00:49:56 I'm sorry.Sorry, that's not funny.
648 00:50:00 Oh!
649 00:50:01 That's not funny at all!
650 00:50:04 They did mine the beaches, though.The whole perimeter of the island.
651 00:50:08 It took some doing,but we finally got it all cleared out.
652 00:50:12 You're safe.
653 00:50:15 Good.
654 00:50:20 What are those?
655 00:50:22 One of the German lookouts.
656 00:50:25 They put them up on every pointfacing out to sea.
657 00:50:29 And they set gun positionsall along the coast.
658 00:50:32 Turned Guernsey into a fortress.
659 00:50:34 Or a prison.You were locked up here.
660 00:50:37 They locked themselves in with us, too.
661 00:50:41 Well, it would have to take someone cruelto build anything as ugly as these
662 00:50:45 in such a beautiful place.
663 00:50:47 They didn't build them,the Germans, they only designed them.
664 00:50:50 Who, then?
665 00:50:53 Todt workers, they were called.
666 00:50:57 'They were slaves.Thousands of them.
667 00:51:00 'Sent by the Reich to labour.From Poland, Russia.
668 00:51:05 'Worked all day, all night.
669 00:51:08 'They were kept in pens with the sunbeating down on them and the rain.'
670 00:51:14 'You wouldn't eventreat animals like that.'
671 00:51:18 We islanders almost starved.
672 00:51:21 But they did.
673 00:51:23 Starved and... and died.
674 00:51:32 Dawsey...
675 00:51:33 I know that this isnone of my business, but...
676 00:51:37 Can you tell mewhy Elizabeth was sent away?
677 00:51:41 What happened?
678 00:51:44 She helped someone and was arrested.
679 00:51:47 Helped someone?
680 00:51:49 Well, do you have any idea where she is?Have you not even heard from her?
681 00:52:02 Anything else for you, mate?
682 00:52:11 - Hello.- Oh, Juliet!
683 00:52:13 What a nice surprise.I... I thought you'd left.
684 00:52:16 No, not quite yet.And sadly not without some of your gin.
685 00:52:19 Ah...
686 00:52:20 I wanted to get somefor my friend, Sidney.
687 00:52:22 Sidney. See, I knewyou had someone in your heart.
688 00:52:26 - Oh...- I could tell it when we met.
689 00:52:28 Well, not... not right when we met,but shortly after. Such a...
690 00:52:34 ...strong feeling. What flavourdo you think Sidney would like?
691 00:52:37 - What are my choices?- Let's see, we've got anise accented,
692 00:52:39 - delphinium dusted...- Isola, how exactly is all this legal?
693 00:52:43 Oh, I'm not sure it is.
694 00:52:45 But the, erm,the Sergeant seems to like it.
695 00:52:49 Oh.
696 00:52:54 Ahh...
697 00:52:56 Oh...
698 00:52:58 - Oh, yes.- Do you want some?
699 00:53:06 I did hear about Elizabeth,that she was arrested.
700 00:53:11 Do you suppose that's why Ameliadidn't want me to write about the Society?
701 00:53:15 Good girl.
702 00:53:20 Is it to do with Elizabeth?With who she helped?
703 00:53:25 The thing you need to understand is thatElizabeth is like another daughter to Amelia.
704 00:53:30 - Another daughter?- After Amelia's daughter, Jane.
705 00:53:33 She and Elizabethwere the best of friends.
706 00:53:35 Elizabeth used to visit every summerfrom London, since she was a girl.
707 00:53:39 That's her cottage, over there.
708 00:53:45 She could have left in 1940,in the big evacuations,
709 00:53:48 but... Jane was pregnant.
710 00:53:52 So she stayed.
711 00:53:54 For Jane.
712 00:53:56 Then the Germans struckand it was too late for everybody.
713 00:54:06 Do you feel any sickness?
714 00:54:09 It's OK, sir, it'll be fine.
715 00:54:11 'And that's where I saw Amelia,with Elizabeth. At the hospital.
716 00:54:16 'Jane had got caught in a bombing in townand went into labour.
717 00:54:22 'Jane lost the baby.
718 00:54:24 'And then they lost Jane.'
719 00:54:33 Leave her. Leave her.
720 00:54:53 'The Germanscame three days later.'
721 00:55:01 'We beat them in '18.Here they are again.
722 00:55:04 'How did we let this happen?'
723 00:55:29 Shame! Shame on all of you!
724 00:55:32 - Elizabeth!- Shame for Poland, France,
725 00:55:34 - now Guernsey! Shame!- Come here.
726 00:55:37 Come here, it's all right.
727 00:55:40 It's all right. It's all right. She's fine.
728 00:55:48 Got a bit overexcited.
729 00:55:50 She's not doing anything,she's going to stop now. I'm very sorry.
730 00:55:53 All right, who are you defending?And whose side are you on?
731 00:55:56 Both of you! Go on, go about your duties.Go about your duties!
732 00:56:03 I've lost two people already.I can't afford to lose you, too.
733 00:56:08 'But she has lost her,hasn't she?
734 00:56:10 'The Germans have taken Elizabeth.'
735 00:56:20 That's why I think Ameliadoesn't want to talk about the Society.
736 00:56:24 Why she wouldn't want anyoneto write about it.
737 00:56:26 Too painful.She's lost so much.
738 00:56:29 - I didn't know.- The war goes on.
739 00:56:33 For us. Especially Amelia.
740 00:56:39 I don't expect it'll really be overuntil Elizabeth's home.
741 00:56:44 And Kit's with her mother again.
742 00:57:06 - Here's the rest of '40 into '41.- Thank you.
743 00:57:58 Mrs Maugery.Mrs Maugery, good morning.
744 00:58:02 Miss Ashton, morning.Thought you'd be gone by now.
745 00:58:06 Yeah, I'd planned to, but I was...
746 00:58:08 I was curiousand I wanted to do some research.
747 00:58:11 Well, don't let me keep you.
748 00:58:12 - Research on the occupation.- Yes, I gathered that.
749 00:58:15 It wouldn't be about the local floraand fauna, would it, now?
750 00:58:20 I'm not writing about the Society,I promise.
751 00:58:27 I lost people too, Mrs Maugery.People I miss sorely.
752 00:58:32 - Everyone lost someone in this war.- My parents.
753 00:58:37 I know what it is to bewithout a mother.
754 00:58:39 If you'd let me,I'd like to try and help.
755 00:58:42 Do whatever I can to find Elizabethand bring her home.
756 00:58:47 For Kit.
757 00:58:50 Please.
758 00:58:55 'M-C-K-E-N-N-A.
759 00:58:59 'Elizabeth Anne McKenna.
760 00:59:02 'British national. 28 years old.'
761 00:59:06 Do you have the date of her deportation?
762 00:59:08 No, not exactly. She was...She was arrested on June 11th.
763 00:59:12 June 11th.
764 00:59:13 - 'They think she was sent...'- Hey!
765 00:59:14 'They think she was sent off-island
766 00:59:16 - 'sometime in the following few days.'- Do you know where she was sent?
767 00:59:19 No, only to the Continent.
768 00:59:22 'Has anyoneheard anything since?'
769 00:59:26 - No.- 'I'll, erm...
770 00:59:30 - 'If anyone can do it, we can.'- Mark, thank you.
771 00:59:34 'The war's not over for them. It won't be.Not until this child's mother is home.
772 00:59:38 'Until then, all they can do is wait.'
773 00:59:41 Well, I do know a little somethingabout what that's like.
774 00:59:44 I told you,just another day or so.
775 00:59:47 Right, right, right, right.Researching, I got it.
776 00:59:50 You can't blame mefor being a little impatient.
777 00:59:53 You know, I put a ring on a girland she disappeared.
778 00:59:55 Well, she's right here.Back soon.
779 00:59:58 Back by Wednesday.We're having dinner with the Cavanaghs.
780 01:00:00 'Best efforts.'
781 01:00:04 Come on, piggy.
782 01:00:06 Come on, piggy. Come on.
783 01:00:08 Come on. Come here. Ready?
784 01:00:14 It's a bit loud.
785 01:00:18 Take it.You know, you can hold it.
786 01:00:20 Right. Oh!
787 01:00:28 You know it now.
788 01:00:31 Dawsey, I thinkyou may have a problem.
789 01:00:33 All right. That's good.You stay here.
790 01:00:35 Kit, the pigs have gone wild!
791 01:00:55 It wouldn't be about them.
792 01:00:58 Just the occupation.
793 01:01:15 I thought you said they didn't wantto be part of "The Times" article.
794 01:01:18 "Times" article?Oh, no. No, no, that's long over.
795 01:01:20 I'm talking about...
796 01:01:22 I don't know whatI'm talking about yet, but, Sidney...
797 01:01:24 - It's so compelling.- That date's gone.
798 01:01:28 As bad as it was for us, these peoplehad to actually live with their enemy.
799 01:01:31 'Any ideawhen I might be able to tell someone
800 01:01:34 'that you'll pop by their shopfor a reading?'
801 01:01:36 I've been talking to the islanders,to everyone.
802 01:01:38 - 'Their personal stories.'- Juliet.
803 01:01:40 All right, I'm all ears.
804 01:01:45 I surrender.
805 01:01:50 Thank you.
806 01:01:52 "Dawsey Adams was sentencedto three weeks in jail
807 01:01:54 "for the attack and batteryof Mr Edward Meares."
808 01:02:00 Dawsey attacked a man?
809 01:02:48 I'm sorry.
810 01:03:02 I see you with them,and I hear you writing away up there,
811 01:03:07 and I worry very much what story it isthat they have you putting down.
812 01:03:14 I'm compiling noteson the occupation of Guernsey.
813 01:03:17 Tall tales of her heroic kindnessand virtue, I'm sure.
814 01:03:23 Elizabeth McKenna was no saint.
815 01:03:26 Well, who among us is?
816 01:03:29 Mark me, she will be judged.Nothing more than a common Jerrybag.
817 01:03:34 No better than any of thoseother little sluts
818 01:03:37 who dropped their knickersfor extra rations or for cigarettes.
819 01:03:42 For lipsticks!
820 01:03:43 Littering the island with their filthyhalf-German bastards.
821 01:03:47 - Half what?- See?
822 01:03:49 I knew. I knewthey didn't share that with you.
823 01:03:52 Her adorable little secret being raisedin her absence by that lot.
824 01:04:00 Are you sureshe was talking about Elizabeth?
825 01:04:02 I'm not even going to repeatwhat she said.
826 01:04:05 That is an excellent tack to take.
827 01:04:06 Isola, she more than implied,in the least-polite way,
828 01:04:11 that Kit is partly German.
829 01:04:13 We're all partly something, Juliet.
830 01:04:16 And then some.
831 01:04:17 Isola...
832 01:04:20 - Is Kit Dawsey's child...- Dawsey's child!
833 01:04:22 ...or not?
834 01:04:28 Why does she call him Daddy?
835 01:04:33 It's not my story to tell.
836 01:04:36 She's four years old.She needs to call somebody Daddy.
837 01:04:39 Presumably her fatherwould be the best candidate.
838 01:04:42 But that's... That's not you.
839 01:04:48 His name's Christian Hellman.
840 01:04:52 And he is a German, Dawsey?
841 01:04:55 - A Nazi? Like Charlotte said?- No, no. Yes.
842 01:04:59 Yes, but not like Charlotte said.
843 01:05:04 He was my friend.
844 01:05:07 'Frank Hoodhad a milk cow back in '41.
845 01:05:10 'Got into trouble bringing in her calf.'
846 01:05:12 I don't know why she's carrying on.I can feel two legs right here.
847 01:05:17 - And the nose.- She's a little early.
848 01:05:19 But...
849 01:05:21 I heard the animal from the road.
850 01:05:23 It's too noisy for you?We'll try to keep it down.
851 01:05:28 What is the matter with her?
852 01:05:30 Just sorting that out.
853 01:05:33 You're welcome to put your head insideif you want to look around.
854 01:05:39 We don't want trouble.We'll register the birth. If it lives...
855 01:05:43 I'm a doctor. Let me help.
856 01:05:51 Keep it tight.
857 01:05:54 Two, three...
858 01:05:58 Good girl, good girl.
859 01:06:02 Good girl.
860 01:06:06 Come on.
861 01:06:21 Shh.
862 01:06:23 Good girl. Good girl.
863 01:06:30 It's good.
864 01:06:33 She's good. She's good.
865 01:06:39 Come on.
866 01:06:41 Shh...
867 01:06:50 Shoulder?
868 01:06:53 Got kicked by a horsewhen I was a boy.
869 01:06:57 Break wasn't set right.
870 01:07:00 Do you have pain?
871 01:07:02 Only becauseit keeps me out of a uniform.
872 01:07:05 Keeps me from fighting you.
873 01:07:19 The look on Elizabeth's facewhen she saw Christian and me together.
874 01:07:22 And then I saw Christian's face.
875 01:07:27 It's all right, he's a friend.
876 01:07:34 I've always wondered which oneof us she meant when she said that.
877 01:07:39 They'd met at the hospitalwhere Christian was stationed.
878 01:07:43 They knew how dangerous it was,to both of them.
879 01:07:47 I should have said more.
880 01:07:49 I should have told them to be more careful,but she was happy.
881 01:08:30 Yes, it is. Yes.
882 01:08:37 Hello.
883 01:08:39 Hello.
884 01:08:42 What... What are you doing in here?
885 01:08:44 Well, the menuat Charlotte Stimple's is... limited.
886 01:08:50 And you find this an improvement?
887 01:08:52 - It's... It's not London.- I don't mind. I like it.
888 01:08:58 Who's with Kit?
889 01:08:59 Amelia's looking after her.We've been finishing the hotel roof.
890 01:09:03 Ah...
891 01:09:08 Can I buy you a drink?
892 01:09:12 A glass of beer.
893 01:09:17 A pint and a half, please.
894 01:09:26 Here you are.
895 01:09:30 Thank you.
896 01:09:34 - What?- Well...
897 01:09:39 You are not what I expected.
898 01:09:41 No?
899 01:09:43 How did you imagine me, Mr Adams,when you wrote me a letter?
900 01:09:50 Tweed hunting skirt,very large in the bottom.
901 01:09:56 Teeth like a horse.Few wisps of ginger-grey hair.
902 01:10:00 And glasses thick as jam jars.
903 01:10:02 She sounds lovely.
904 01:10:07 And you?
905 01:10:09 Who was the pig farmeryou sent books to?
906 01:10:12 I did have a couple of ideas.
907 01:10:14 But it was more of a sensethat I was writing to someone
908 01:10:18 who already understood me.
909 01:10:24 I didn't have to explain myself to you,too much.
910 01:10:32 How many of these have you had?
911 01:10:35 Oh... Well, I suppose it wasbecause of Charles Lamb.
912 01:10:39 - To Charles Lamb, then.- Yes.
913 01:10:41 "Contented with little,yet wishing for more."
914 01:10:45 Ah.
915 01:10:47 Bravo.
916 01:10:55 "The beasts are very wise.
917 01:10:57 "Their mouths are clean of lies.
918 01:10:59 "But man, with goad and whip,breaks up their fellowship.
919 01:11:04 "When he has ploughed his land,
920 01:11:06 "he says, 'They understand.'
921 01:11:08 "But the beasts in stall together,
922 01:11:11 "freed from the yoke and tether,say, as the torn flanks smoke,
923 01:11:15 - "'Nay, 'twas the whip that spoke.'"- Oh...
924 01:11:19 Well read, Eli.
925 01:11:21 Really well done.
926 01:11:35 He told you about Christian.
927 01:11:38 You know.
928 01:11:40 Some, yes.
929 01:11:45 Why don't you put the kettle on?I'll see the others out.
930 01:11:53 Oh! Come and give me a kiss.Good girl.
931 01:11:58 I was so against himwhen she brought him here for a meeting.
932 01:12:04 "'Rot you!' murmured the man,in a horrible passion
933 01:12:09 "between his clenched teeth.
934 01:12:11 "'If I had only had the courageto say the word,
935 01:12:14 "'I might have been free of youin a night.
936 01:12:16 "'Curses on your head,and black death on your heart, you imp!
937 01:12:21 "'What are you doing here?'
938 01:12:23 "The man shook his fistas he uttered these words incoherently."
939 01:12:28 - Do you not care that I love him?- It disgusts me.
940 01:12:32 - He killed Jane. He killed my husband.- Christian didn't kill them.
941 01:12:36 Yes, he did.
942 01:12:40 They did.
943 01:12:43 Elizabeth...
944 01:12:46 Please don't put us through this.
945 01:12:50 Just end it.
946 01:12:52 - I can't.- Why? Why can't you?
947 01:12:54 Because I don't want to!
948 01:12:58 And I couldn't, anyway.
949 01:13:04 Elizabeth.
950 01:13:06 Elizabeth!
951 01:13:24 Christian was discoveredsneaking into the camp that night.
952 01:13:29 They shipped him off the next day.
953 01:13:36 So I got my wish, didn't I?
954 01:13:42 They never did see each other again.
955 01:13:46 His ship was torpedoedjust shy of the coast.
956 01:13:52 He died.
957 01:13:54 Now he's at the bottom of the sea.
958 01:13:58 Like my husband.
959 01:14:01 Lost in a sea of mud on the Somme.
960 01:14:08 And she hadn't even told him about Kit.
961 01:14:12 He didn't know he'd left two behind.
962 01:14:18 If there's any shame, it's mine.
963 01:14:22 All mine.
964 01:14:25 I failed Elizabeth when she needed me.
965 01:14:30 Now all that matters is protecting Kit.
966 01:14:33 Protecting Kit?
967 01:14:36 From what?
968 01:14:38 If Elizabeth doesn't come home,the child's only living relatives...
969 01:14:46 will be Germans.
970 01:14:49 - They might come for her.- No.
971 01:14:51 But you said yourself that...that Christian didn't even know about Kit.
972 01:14:57 And even if he had...
973 01:15:00 Amelia, Kit is safe.
974 01:15:03 - You don't know that.- I promise you.
975 01:15:06 I've seen thingsI never thought could happen, happen.
976 01:15:11 I can't lose another personto the Germans. I'm sorry.
977 01:15:17 I can't.
978 01:16:14 What do you think you're doing?
979 01:16:16 You've fallen to their side.
980 01:16:18 - I tried to warn you.- And everybody warned me about you!
981 01:16:22 Your soul is in mortal danger.
982 01:16:25 Oh, my soul. Thank you.
983 01:16:28 But it's my privacy I fear for mostjust now.
984 01:16:30 Miss Ashton, let us pray.
985 01:16:33 I pray you let go of mebefore I knock you down.
986 01:16:36 Now here is a book filled with love.
987 01:16:39 And you overlook all of it in favour ofjudgement and petty meanness.
988 01:16:47 "Seek and ye shall find" indeed!
989 01:16:52 It is I that shall pray for you,Miss Stimple.
990 01:16:56 But from a far safer distance.
991 01:17:25 Juliet?
992 01:17:29 I have nowhere to go.
993 01:17:38 I think Amelia feels ashamedbecause she hated them all so much.
994 01:17:43 She wasn't able to seethat Christian was different...
995 01:17:47 the way Elizabeth could.
996 01:17:49 And you think Elizabeth was right?
997 01:17:52 Oh, I know it.
998 01:17:55 He was a lovely man.
999 01:17:57 All I know of romance in real lifeis Elizabeth and Christian.
1000 01:18:05 But tell me about your suitor.
1001 01:18:08 I want to hear all about your Sidney.
1002 01:18:12 Actually, Sidney's my publisher.And my oldest friend in the world.
1003 01:18:17 Still, there's a chance?
1004 01:18:19 There would be a greater chanceif I were called George.
1005 01:18:25 Or maybe Tom.
1006 01:18:27 - He likes men's names?- Indeed... he does.
1007 01:18:33 - Oh... Oh.- Yes.
1008 01:18:40 Ooh... Thank you.
1009 01:18:44 And besides, Isola...
1010 01:18:48 - I'm engaged.- What?
1011 01:18:52 - To whom?- Mark, Markham Reynolds.
1012 01:18:56 - Markham? How elegant.- He's American.
1013 01:18:59 Oh.
1014 01:19:01 But where's the ring?Or is he very poor?
1015 01:19:04 That's OK, too.
1016 01:19:19 - He's not poor.- No.
1017 01:19:27 Why aren't you wearing it?
1018 01:19:30 Well, I...
1019 01:19:32 I'm not yet used to it,I suppose.
1020 01:19:35 And I wanted to keep it safe.
1021 01:19:40 So, what sort of booksdoes Markham enjoy?
1022 01:19:45 Erm... Have you...
1023 01:19:52 shared a passionate encounter?
1024 01:19:54 Isola!
1025 01:19:55 I have never shareda passionate encounter, myself.
1026 01:20:00 I am only beautifulon the inside.
1027 01:20:03 You are beautifulon the outside as well.
1028 01:20:06 - And men do like that.- Nonsense.
1029 01:20:09 There must be someone here you like.
1030 01:20:11 No. Not at present.
1031 01:20:15 But I have "Wuthering Heights", don't I?
1032 01:20:18 Do you not mind being alone?
1033 01:20:22 I suppose. Sometimes.
1034 01:20:26 But then I thinkhow much sweeter it'll be
1035 01:20:28 when my Heathclifffinally shows himself.
1036 01:20:32 And how glad I'll bethat I decided to wait for him.
1037 01:20:39 Careful!
1038 01:20:41 - Good, you're here.- Hello.
1039 01:20:44 - You busy?- No.
1040 01:20:46 New glass for the greenhousejust came into the port today.
1041 01:20:49 I was going to help unload,but I need someone to fetch Kit home.
1042 01:20:53 Oh, I'd be happy to!
1043 01:20:55 Eddie, blast your eyes. Get out!
1044 01:20:57 - All right.- Go on, get off.
1045 01:21:04 Are you sure it's no trouble?
1046 01:21:08 Absolutely not.
1047 01:21:09 - Thank you.- Oh...
1048 01:21:10 - À la prochaine!- Oh, right.
1049 01:21:13 - Come on.- Kit, slow down. Wait for me!
1050 01:21:22 Away! Away, away.
1051 01:22:00 Kit!
1052 01:22:24 Juliet! Up here!
1053 01:22:29 Do you want to see my treasure box?
1054 01:22:42 Hmm, delicious.
1055 01:22:52 This is me and my mummy.
1056 01:22:54 She loves me very much,but she can't be here right now.
1057 01:23:00 And she'll come back as soon as she can.
1058 01:23:04 Oh...
1059 01:23:14 She's very pretty.
1060 01:23:27 Oh... Thank you.
1061 01:24:37 Such a small thing.Just a book.
1062 01:24:41 Yet it's brought me all this way.
1063 01:25:07 Er, Kit's in her room, sleeping.
1064 01:25:10 Thank you for watching her.
1065 01:25:12 We had a lovely time.
1066 01:25:16 She's... She's fond of you.
1067 01:25:22 I best get back.
1068 01:25:31 - Morning.- Morning.
1069 01:25:33 - Miss! Miss Ashton!- Yes?
1070 01:25:35 There's a call for you at the post officefrom a Mark Reynolds.
1071 01:25:50 - Not picking up?- No. He left no message?
1072 01:25:53 No, sorry. We'll try again later.
1073 01:25:55 Oh, no. No, it's all right.
1074 01:25:59 Just, er, if he calls back,let him know I'm over at the newspap...
1075 01:26:03 - Eben?- Hm-hmm?
1076 01:26:05 I hope you don't mind me asking,
1077 01:26:07 but who is that manthat's always skulking about?
1078 01:26:09 That one?
1079 01:26:11 - He steers a wide path of Dawsey.- Yeah, I shouldn't wonder.
1080 01:26:14 That's Eddie Meares.The fellow who informed on Elizabeth.
1081 01:26:19 - Informed on Elizabeth?- Among others.
1082 01:26:25 Morning.
1083 01:26:27 Yeah, he profited nicelyduring the war,
1084 01:26:29 but he's paying the price now.
1085 01:26:31 Look at him.
1086 01:26:32 He's the man Dawsey attacked.
1087 01:26:34 Oh, that was a beautiful thing to see.
1088 01:26:38 Should have sold tickets.
1089 01:26:44 Steady, lad. Steady.
1090 01:26:47 New jacket, Eddie?You're doing all right for yourself.
1091 01:26:51 - Can't help if business is good.- Oh, Eddie, what business is that?
1092 01:26:54 I'd say that jacket's madeof Elizabeth McKenna's hide.
1093 01:26:57 What business would that beof any of yours?
1094 01:27:01 That Jerrybag wasn't even from here.
1095 01:27:03 It's just too bad they didn't shipher wee bastard off with her.
1096 01:27:10 You're the bastard, Meares.
1097 01:27:13 Or did I get it wrong, Adams?
1098 01:27:14 Maybe you shared herwith your Nazi friend.
1099 01:27:20 Leave it, Dawsey!
1100 01:27:22 They had to give him three weeks,but he only served one.
1101 01:27:26 I'd have done it for him if I could.
1102 01:27:29 And that one...
1103 01:27:31 He has to live with himself now.God help him.
1104 01:27:40 Why does Kit live with yourather than Amelia or...?
1105 01:27:43 Because Elizabeth left her with me.
1106 01:27:47 But why?
1107 01:27:52 Dawsey...
1108 01:27:54 What happened?
1109 01:27:56 Piggies. Pig.
1110 01:27:59 She came to the house that night.The night she was arrested.
1111 01:28:04 One of the slave workers, a boy,had escaped somehow.
1112 01:28:09 She found him.
1113 01:28:11 He was hurt, sick.
1114 01:28:15 He needed help.
1115 01:28:17 Come on, piggy.
1116 01:28:19 - So, she brought Kit.- Pig...
1117 01:28:22 Would I watch herwhile she went for supplies?
1118 01:28:26 You can't go running around the islandafter curfew.
1119 01:28:31 - I don't have a choice.- Of course you do.
1120 01:28:33 You have a choice,you have a responsibility.
1121 01:28:36 I won't do it.You can't leave her here.
1122 01:28:38 - Do you have any bread?- Take her to Amelia or Isola.
1123 01:28:41 I will be gone for 20 minutes.
1124 01:28:43 Do you have any bread?
1125 01:28:58 Elizabeth...
1126 01:29:01 Because you give methe last piece of bread when I ask.
1127 01:29:06 That is why I trust her to you.
1128 01:29:14 Elizabeth!
1129 01:29:16 - Elizabeth!- Shh, Dawsey. Go back!
1130 01:29:18 You can't risk it, it's too dangerous.You have a child.
1131 01:29:21 This is someone's child, too.
1132 01:29:22 How could I look his motherin the eye if I didn't help?
1133 01:29:24 You will never meet her!
1134 01:29:26 If I don't help him, he will die.Would you have me look the other way?
1135 01:29:30 Yes, please.
1136 01:29:31 - I can't!- Please.
1137 01:29:34 I'll go. Tell me what you needfrom the hospital.
1138 01:29:37 They'll never let you in.
1139 01:29:38 I'll be back.Two shakes of a lamb's tail.
1140 01:29:54 They shot him by the side of the road.
1141 01:30:06 And they arrested Elizabeth.
1142 01:30:10 I should have nailed her to the floor.
1143 01:30:14 But I let her go.
1144 01:30:16 It's not your fault.
1145 01:30:19 - It is.- Dawsey...
1146 01:30:22 It's not fair, the choice she made.
1147 01:30:27 To Kit, to you.
1148 01:30:30 You're raising this childall by yourself.
1149 01:30:34 But I... I, I love her.
1150 01:30:36 Rise and shine.
1151 01:30:44 I love Kit.
1152 01:30:49 Do you love Elizabeth?
1153 01:30:56 - Whoa. Whoa there, boy.- Juliet!
1154 01:31:01 Mark? Mark!
1155 01:31:05 Mark!What are you doing here?
1156 01:31:20 - Hi.- Hello.
1157 01:31:22 How you doing? Mark Reynolds.
1158 01:31:25 Dawsey Adams.
1159 01:31:27 The letter-writing pig farmer?Fellow bibliophile.
1160 01:31:31 It's good to meet you.
1161 01:31:34 - I hope I'm not intruding.- What are you doing here?
1162 01:31:37 If you ask me that again,I'm gonna feel a little unwelcome.
1163 01:31:40 I missed you.I hope that's enough.
1164 01:31:43 More than enough.I'm just surprised.
1165 01:31:48 - That's all.- Well, I tried to call you yesterday.
1166 01:31:51 And I thought, you know,why not hop on a flight?
1167 01:31:54 Come see what's so fascinating herefor myself.
1168 01:31:57 I have some idea now.
1169 01:32:01 - You know, it's a beautiful island.- Yes.
1170 01:32:04 - It's just lacking a proper florist.- Oh!
1171 01:32:10 All the way from London.
1172 01:32:11 Mark, they're beautiful.Thank you.
1173 01:32:16 How about a private tour?
1174 01:32:18 Yes.
1175 01:32:21 Absolutely.
1176 01:32:27 - Nice to meet you.- Yes.
1177 01:32:34 Do you see the onewith the greenhouse? That's Isola's.
1178 01:32:36 That's where I've been stayingthis past week.
1179 01:32:39 Do you see it?It's the one with the garden.
1180 01:32:42 Have you lost the ring I gave you?
1181 01:32:45 No, I haven't.
1182 01:32:46 Have you changed your mind?
1183 01:32:51 - No.- Then why aren't you wearing it?
1184 01:32:55 Because I am afraid of losing it.
1185 01:32:58 I can... I can only imaginewhat it cost.
1186 01:33:00 And I... I wanted to keep it safe.
1187 01:33:04 - And I'll... I'll tell you the truth.- That would be great.
1188 01:33:10 I feel like I'm lording about,with a great gold crown on my forehead.
1189 01:33:16 Can you understand that?
1190 01:33:18 My good fortune feels...
1191 01:33:22 It feels so conspicuous here.
1192 01:33:24 I take it gold crownsaren't the fashion on Guernsey?
1193 01:33:29 Or maybe just not on pig farms.
1194 01:33:37 Or maybe you'd like to take it back.
1195 01:33:45 More than anything,I just wanna see it on you.
1196 01:33:49 Right here, where I put it.
1197 01:33:55 Unless there's somethingyou wanna tell me.
1198 01:34:08 Good.
1199 01:34:10 Now, the real reason I came...
1200 01:34:28 Mark was able to trace herto a camp in RavensbrÃck.
1201 01:34:32 Wh... Where's RavensbrÃck?
1202 01:34:35 Germany.
1203 01:34:43 There are witnesses who saw her.
1204 01:34:46 Who were there...
1205 01:34:47 the day she died.
1206 01:34:50 - Do they know how she died?- She was shot.
1207 01:35:00 They say she tried to save a girl...
1208 01:35:04 who was being beaten.
1209 01:35:09 Elizabeth got the stick from the guardand she struck him with it.
1210 01:35:16 The girl was spared.
1211 01:35:18 But they killed Elizabeth instead.
1212 01:35:26 I'm so sorry.
1213 01:35:38 - Where are you going, Dawsey?- To tell Kit.
1214 01:35:41 Right now? Don't you wantto give yourself a chance to think?
1215 01:35:45 - Think what?- What will you tell her?
1216 01:35:47 - I'll do it, Dawsey.- I will.
1217 01:35:51 Wait.
1218 01:36:05 Come on.
1219 01:36:07 Come here.
1220 01:36:14 She's only four.
1221 01:36:17 - What can she understand?- I'm older than time.
1222 01:36:22 And I understand nothing.
1223 01:36:27 Nothing.
1224 01:36:30 Nothing.
1225 01:36:36 It's time to go.
1226 01:36:59 It's not like I can keep putting poor Sidneyand his book tour off forever.
1227 01:37:04 - I have to get back to London sometime.- Then there's your Mark.
1228 01:37:07 - Wouldn't want him to go to waste.- No.
1229 01:37:12 - You see?- Hm.
1230 01:37:14 There's nothing to keep you here.
1231 01:37:17 No.
1232 01:37:19 - My life's in London.- Yes, it is.
1233 01:37:25 I'm afraid how lonely it's going to feel now,when you're gone.
1234 01:37:31 It's terrible to lose a friendwhen you don't have many.
1235 01:38:14 Thank you.
1236 01:38:29 I'm so sorry, Amelia.
1237 01:38:36 - Bye, Miss.- Keep going with the Kipling.
1238 01:38:39 Goodbye.
1239 01:38:42 I'll miss you.
1240 01:38:45 I'll miss all of you.
1241 01:38:55 This is yours.
1242 01:39:00 I'd like you to keep that.
1243 01:39:06 - Juliet, I'll be on board.- Yes.
1244 01:39:09 - Mr Adams, it was nice to meet you.- Bye-bye, Juliet.
1245 01:39:13 Bye, Kit.
1246 01:39:16 Kit.
1247 01:39:27 We'll still write to each other,won't we?
1248 01:39:29 Yes, of course.
1249 01:39:38 Goodbye.
1250 01:41:12 Thank goodness you're here, Mr Stark.
1251 01:41:14 Poor thing. She's not eating,and she's as quiet as a mouse.
1252 01:41:17 Well, let's see what we can fix.
1253 01:41:19 I can tell you, the silenceis worse than the typing ever was.
1254 01:41:22 Hmm.
1255 01:41:28 You have to write about them.
1256 01:41:30 I can't. I promised I wouldn't.
1257 01:41:33 I realise that, Juliet,but this is your story to tell,
1258 01:41:38 as sure as I'm sitting here,and you will not be right until you do.
1259 01:41:43 Now, Elizabeth, for better or worse,couldn't help but follow her heart.
1260 01:41:48 You must do the same.
1261 01:41:50 I'm afraid.
1262 01:41:53 - What if I'm not a good enough writer?- Ah.
1263 01:41:57 She doubts.
1264 01:42:00 She doesn't believe.
1265 01:42:05 She craves being taken seriously,but then she won't do that for herself.
1266 01:42:12 I think you're better than you yet know.
1267 01:42:15 And as your friend, of many, many...
1268 01:42:19 many years...
1269 01:42:26 I've seen you reachfor what you want.
1270 01:42:30 You have that courage.
1271 01:43:05 You look absolutely ravishing.
1272 01:43:07 Thank you.
1273 01:43:08 We...
1274 01:43:11 need to celebrate.
1275 01:43:22 To us.
1276 01:43:32 Juliet, what is it?
1277 01:43:38 Mark, I'm sorry.
1278 01:43:46 I am very sorry.
1279 01:43:59 OK, is my mistakebringing you back too quickly
1280 01:44:03 or letting you go to Guernseyin the first place?
1281 01:44:06 I should have never let youout of my sight.
1282 01:44:10 I think I would have found myself heresooner or later,
1283 01:44:13 even if I'd gone nowhere.
1284 01:44:16 I am sorry, Mark.
1285 01:44:25 May I ask if you ever loved me?
1286 01:44:27 I loved our time together.
1287 01:44:29 - And I still truly care for you.- It's not really the same thing, is it?
1288 01:44:32 - But I feel terribly...- Well, I am really sorry about that.
1289 01:44:36 Mark, as unhappy with meas you are right now,
1290 01:44:39 being married to mewould not have made you happy.
1291 01:44:41 I'd just as soon as you not tell mewhat would make me happy.
1292 01:44:43 I got a better beat on that than you.
1293 01:44:45 And you deserve someonewho can share that.
1294 01:44:47 Who can share every wonderful thingyou have to offer.
1295 01:44:52 - You deserve better.- Well, I deserve better than I got.
1296 01:44:55 I'll give you that.
1297 01:44:58 And you will have it.
1298 01:45:00 I'm sure I will.But not at this table. Goodnight.
1299 01:45:13 Goodbye, Mark.
1300 01:45:26 Goodbye, Juliet.
1301 01:47:49 "The Guernsey Literaryand Potato Peel Pie Society."
1302 01:47:55 Crikey, that's quite a mouthful.
1303 01:47:57 - No author?- No.
1304 01:48:00 You can't ever publish it anyway.
1305 01:48:01 You'd need permissionand it's not mine to give.
1306 01:48:05 This is just for you.
1307 01:48:06 Thank you.
1308 01:48:09 - But...- Hmm?
1309 01:48:11 I will write you another book.Possibly another after that.
1310 01:48:15 This makes me excessively happy to hear.
1311 01:48:19 Something's opened up, Sidney.
1312 01:48:21 Somehow the "doing" has given mea tremendous appetite for more.
1313 01:48:27 Which brings me to a business question.
1314 01:48:29 Business? Good.
1315 01:48:32 I'm all ears.
1316 01:48:35 Have I still got a little money?
1317 01:48:39 Ah...
1318 01:48:41 No.
1319 01:48:43 No, you're quite rich.
1320 01:48:46 Huh!

1406 01:55:22 - Really?- Yes.
1407 01:55:27 Well, I wrote you a letteron the boat just now.
1408 01:55:31 Wanted to make sure I'd got it all down.
1409 01:55:34 Everything I should have saidlong before.
1410 01:55:41 Well...
1411 01:55:43 This is convenient because I wason my way to find you as well.
1412 01:55:52 Juliet...
1413 01:55:54 - I...- Would you like to marry me?
1414 01:56:04 I'm in love with you.So I thought I'd ask.
1415 01:56:10 Wow! My God.
1416 01:56:13 Yes.
1417 01:56:15 - Yes.- Yes?
1418 01:56:52 "Puck had carefully removedthe charm from off the eyes of Lysander
1419 01:56:56 "with the antidotethe Fairy King gave to him.
1420 01:56:59 "Hermia first awoke,
1421 01:57:01 "and finding her lost Lysanderasleep so near her,
1422 01:57:04 "was looking at him and wonderingat his strange inconstancy.
1423 01:57:08 "Lysander presently opening his eyes,and seeing his dear Hermia,
1424 01:57:13 "recovered his reason whichthe fairy charm had before clouded,
1425 01:57:16 "and with his reason,his love for Hermia.
1426 01:57:21 "And they began to talk overthe adventures of the night,
1427 01:57:24 "doubting if these thingshad really happened,
1428 01:57:28 "or if they had both been dreamingthe same bewildering dream."

1431 01:57:58 "'Besides,' he said, 'there's the Lighthouse.We're almost there.'"
1432 01:58:02 That's all fine,but where is the story?
1433 01:58:04 Hear, hear.
1434 01:58:05 The narrativeis not the author's primary concern.
1435 01:58:08 I understand that.
1436 01:58:09 Never has beenwith Virginia Woolf.
1437 01:58:11 Is it too much to askfor something to happen?
1438 01:58:13 It's what's going oninside the people.
1439 01:58:15 It's the psychology of the people.
1440 01:58:17 It's the psychology ofthe people going on a boat ride, Isola.
1441 01:58:22 Eben!
1442 01:58:24 - "Who are you?"- "I'm poor Ben Gunn, I am."

1445 01:58:34 "Three years?"
1446 01:58:35 - "Then berries and oysters."- "Oysters?"
1447 01:58:37 "Many's the long nightI've dreamt of cheese. Toasted, mostly."
1448 01:58:42 Well done, Grandpa.
1449 01:58:45 "Be not afeared.The isle is full of noises."
1450 01:58:50 "Sounds, and sweet airsthat give delight and hurt not.
1451 01:58:55 "Sometimes a thousandtwangling instruments
1452 01:58:59 "will hum about mine ears,and sometimes voices."
1453 01:59:03 I love that.
1454 01:59:06 "I took that dear hand,held it a moment to my lip."
1455 01:59:10 Oh!
