Man in an Orange Shirt (2017): Season 1, Episode 1 - Episode #1.1 - full transcript
Two separate yet entwined stories show the challenges to happiness for Michael and Thomas in the aftermath of World War 2 in time when such love was forbidden and dangerous and to Adam and Steve in the present day.
I didn't know you owned a cottage.
Why did you two never live there?
I visited once,
but I never cared for it.
Anyway, it was your grandfather's.
It was really all very basic.
Goodnight.
Goodnight, dear.
My dear Flora, your photograph
is getting pretty battered
with all the travelling
around in my breast pocket.
I can't tell you where we are or
much of what we're doing, of course.
Much of the countryside
is so beautiful that
I have to remind the men that
we're not here on holiday,
but then merry hell
breaks out again.
I'll spare you the details...
Aim at the olive groves, until the
others get through to relieve us.
Yes, sir!
Bastards got the supply lorry before
it could get through the gates, sir!
It's the driver, sir.
Another dead with him.
They shot out the tyres,
and it's tipped over in the ditch.
Put him with the others, quickly!
We need the MO! I think this one's
still with us, sir.
The MO's dead.
Put him with the rest. Quickly!
Not another? He was in
the back with the supplies.
Oh, Christ.
Set him down gently.
I need you back at the gatehouse.
We can't have the others ambushed.
Do you understand? Sir...
Well, don't just sit there!
Help him!
With me!
With me, come on!
Sugar...
The lorry's full of bloody sugar.
March.
Thomas March!
March, stay with me.
Stay with me! March!
Captain.
You were lucky.
No, your lot saved my life.
This...
This was your real life-saver.
I need to get your sketchpads
back from our CO.
He... He's not exactly artistic.
Berryman?
Was I a beast to you at school?
Berryman!
Er, well, actually,
you were always very kind.
Has anyone seen Captain Berryman?
What a relief.
Berryman, a word.
Yes, sir.
Yes. All right, then. Pass it.
Almost. Stay on it.
Left! Left! Push it, push it! Hey!
Come on! Come on, get stuck in!
