Minutiæ
One Six presents some slides of cases to his team of agents:
- John Cartwright, who led the Hatton Garden raid which netted £200,000 worth of uncut stones which were never recovered and is about to be released after 8 years inside - assigned to Williams, he's more interested in who else will greet him than getting the stones, and wants the organisation represented;
- a £500,000 job they ought to have got a lead on by now - assigned to Smith and Pembleton;
- a young woman in a bikini, Inès Cordoba, currently in London for a Brazilian trade agreement - assigned to Marks who is told her phone is already bugged;
- James Morgan, a Whitehall courier who disappeared at London Airport, when returning from assignment.
10:35 - Venus rolls her eyes when starting the second verse of "There's Nothing Like Love" - is she finding it hard to remember the lyrics, or is she overwhelmed by how appalling they are?
27:00-27:30 When Brown is testing the guns in the arcade, the sound effects of the shots aren't always in synch with the action, in one case being heard just after Brown gives up on a jammed gun and is laying it aside, in another a second too late, and you hear the trigger click well before the blast.
What on earth happens at the end? Do the Trevelyans escape? It seems like they cut a crucial denouement simply to insert the tag scene with Steed giving Venus the brooch (which implies Betty escaped with Brown as well).
49:15 - this episode closes out with a variation of the theme music, ending with a tempo change and solo trombone.
This episode sees Art Morgan and Eric Dawson replaced by Lew Grade's in-house ATV orchestra leader, Jack Parnell and his regular bassist, Lennie Bush. They were musicians Kenny regularly played with at Ronnie Scott's in the Jack Parnell Orchestra. Parnell did most of the on-set music at Elstree with Kenny Baker, Lennie Bush, Ronnie Verrell and Kenny Powell as accompianist, so it's odd they're here billed as the Kenny Powell trio when Jack was the eminent player.
Venus sings "There's Nothing Like Love" [10:11, 1:30 long] and "I Know Where I'm Going" [24:33, 1:34 long].
The Songs
Lyrics in square brackets are not sung by Julie, or inaudible.Lyrics in red italic have been adapted or ad libbed.
Traditional, Herbert Hughes arr. 1945
I know where I'm going
And I know who's going with me
I know who I love
But the dear knows who I'll marry
I have stockings of silk
Shoes of fine green leather
Combs to buckle my hair
And a ring for every finger
Some say he's black
But I say he's bonny
The fairest of them all
My handsome, winsome Johnny
Feather beds are soft
And painted rooms are bonny
But I would leave them all
To go with my love Johnny
I know where I'm going
And I know who's going with me
I know who I love
But the dear knows who I'll marry
From the musical I Know Where I'm Going
Leo Robin and Julie Styne, 1955
There's nothing Like love,
It's a grand, grand feeling,
It really is a gift from-
-up above.
What else in the u-ni-verse
- thrills you so?
Nothing.
No, there's nothing like love.
There's nothing on earth
-that is more appealing,
Than walking with you fellow,
Hand in glove,
What else gives a person
- that sweet warm glow?
Nothing.
No, there's nothing like love.
If I ever meet, the boy,
What a lucky girl I'll be,
There might be greater joy,
Well, if there is
- you tell me!
There's nothing like love,
when the dawn comes stealing,
And suddenly the stars have
-lost their light,
You'll look in his eyes and
-he'll sigh and say,
Thanks for a wonderful night-
And then you're all alone,
The sky is bright above,
A girl is so aware there's nothing,
No, there's nothing like love.
Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing,
No, there's nothing like-
Love----
From the film My Sister Eileen
