"It would be unfair to pass through this county without drawing your attention to this huge oak tree, which dominates the skyline as far as Newcastle to the north and Market Harborough to the south." "Like many trees of its age, it has a history, and what a macabre and dark history its knots and branches reveal." "For this oak is the notorious Hanging Tree, as used by Oliver Cromwell and later Henry III as a primitive gallows, whereby many a poor beast wriggled and lurched in his death throes." "And some say, if you cock an ear, you may still hear their cries ringing across the Dales." "But not today." "Who knows what terrible stories ended on the boughs of this tree?" "One man knew." "His name" " Arthur Rollie, Cromwell's hated and feared executioner." "A bent and stunted figure, he perfected the famous Rollie knot, which did for many a highwayman." "Arthur Rollie lived here inside the tree in primitive, carved living quarters, complete with toilet, bed and study, like some ghastly lighthouse keeper."

"What you'd do is, first of all, you move his hand just a tiny amount." " Right." " You'd move one finger." "Again, a tiny amount." "The second finger - just a tiny amount." " The third finger - just a tiny amount." " Uh-hm." "Then we'd have to move the eyes around." "Again, just a tiny amount." "And the other one, a tiny amount." "Then it's click, click, two frames." "Then I suppose his feet should waggle, his toes." "First toe, we'd move it down..." "just a tiny amount, and the second toe... ..a tiny amount." "Third toe down...just a tiny amount." "Then we move up to the hand again." "A tiny amount." "And this finger..." "just a tiny amount." "And the next finger...just a tiny amount." "That finger...a tiny amount." "We'd come up again to the eyes to bring them round some more...a tiny amount." "(WHISPERS) Anyone fancy a pint?" "This finger, a tiny amount." "Then the eyes would come round..."

" Pardon?" "Mantle with a what?" " Aplomb." "Ah, mantle with aplomb, yes, most definitely." "Sure as eggs is eggs, mantle with aplomb." "Gary Lineker, of course, remains a legend in the modern game." "Oh, Gary Lineker - marvellous, you know." "Paragon of virtue." "Unprecedented in the modern game." "Never been booked...wasn't he?" "You know, excellent TV pundit, crisp-thief!" "Rarely wears a tie, but a marvellous ambassador for the game." "Nice man, nice face, boyish charm with a hint of grey at the temples." "Can you imagine that face contorted in the throes of sexual ecstasy?" " I'm not sure I'd want to, Ron." " That's my point." "Mantle with aplomb." "An amusing incident in the first half with that dog running on the pitch." " Ron." " Sorry." "I put myself in the position of Gary's wife looking up at that face." "Can't get it out of my mind." "Indeed." "If Terry Venables is watching, he might think of signing that dog for the England team." "Ron." "I'm stuck with this image of Gary humping." "Do you think I should see someone?" "You probably should, yes." "Tommy, certainly, if not Terry Venables, the Scottish manager should have a look at that dog to see where he could play." "Sorry, I've got Gary Lineker's cheeky grin and sweaty forehead looming down on me." "Amazing thought, Ron." "Even I have to agree, it is a powerful image." "This week I are been mostly eating Bourbon biscuits." "Do you know what, right?" "I really love Cliff Richards." "Sir Cliff Richards." "I mean..." "I think he's dead young-looking." "He's about 60 years old, but he looks about oh, I don't know 15." "Apart from his neck, which is all scraggy - like a turkey or a tortoise or something." "But he hides it really well."

"yesterday evening to check on the heating, as we were in for a particularly cold night." "You know how delicate those flowers are and the trouble I have with them." "And I did ask and I went in there this morning and it was as cold as a refrigerator." "There was frost on the windows and you know how much those flowers mean to me." "It's not as if I didn't ask and, quite frankly, I'm very... ..I'm very..." "It's not the expense of replacing them or the time and effort that's gone into growing them, it's the fact that I asked you to do something and it was your responsibility..." "Well, obviously, ultimately it's my responsibility." "They are my flowers and..." "I really should've checked myself." "Um...you have a thousand and one things to be doing about the place and I cannot expect you to do things which are my responsibility." "Um...as I say, I should've checked..." "and probably I forgot to ask you... ..and...er..." "I really am very sorry, Ted..." "and I promise you it shan't happen again." "I'm sorry."
