The Famous Five (1978–1979): Season 1, Episode 7 - Five Go Off to Camp: Episode One - full transcript
Two tents.
- Got them.
Four sleeping bags, four groundsheets.
Here watch out.
Sorry.
- Mind the flowers.
Hey you!
Go on there. Get back.
Get out of the way. Ruddy animal.
Where is Mr. Luffy? When is he coming?
I don't see him yet!
Uncle Quentin cant wait for us to go!
Neither can I! Itll be
great to get off by ourselves.
You wont quite be by yourselves, George.
Mr. Luffy will be keeping an eye on you.
Where is the fellow?
More likely well have
to keep an eye on him.
He is the best teacher at
school but very forgetful.
George. You forgot the sandwiches.
You will be able to get fresh food
when youll be camping, Julian?
Here he is!
Luffy!
At last!
Come on, Timmy.
Mr. Luffy!
Hello!
My legs! lm still moving. Solid ground.
Now then, let me see.
Now I thought it would be best
if we parked the car over there
where it will get plenty of shelter
from the wind and rain. And
just over there is the stream.
Now its crystal clear but as cold
as ice, so mind you don't fall in.
Eh, now where are, ah, there we are
Now look over there is the
farm that I told you about.
I believe its changed
hands since was last here,
but I understand theyll
still sell us eggs and milk.
Good.
Now I thought wed all camp here.
We didn't want to be that close
We didn't intend to camp right on top
of you, Sir, because we thought you might
not want four noisy children too near.
Oh! Yes, well! Er, I think Id
better pitch my tent just here.
Then all of you could pitch
yours over there by that tree
and youd get plenty of shelter
there, then we shant interfere
with each other at all, shall we?
Oh, thank you, Mr. Luffy.
Come on, Timmy. Get your own sausage.
Im glad Mr. Luffy asked
us to come on this bug hunt.
III get some water!
Timmy!
- Whats he got?
A tent peg.
- Quick after him.
Hey, there he goes.
- Hey Timmy, drop it.
Help! Its a volcano.
Whats the matter?
Mr. Luffy, theres a volcano.
What? Where?
Oh no. No, you see underneath the
moor there are various railway tunnels
and those vent-holes are
for the smoke to escape.
So my volcano was caused
by a train running below?
Yes.
Hey, look!
Oh, don't worry. That must just
be one of the underground trains
running below the moor.
- What?
Railway lines! That might
be where the trains come out!
This is fantastic.
Come on.
This looks like it hasnt
been used for years!
Hey! Lets give these a
shove and get them going!
Oh no.
Okay, but be careful.
Whatre you doing?
Aint it bad enough to
hear spook-trains at night,
without having to hear
them in the day too?
Who are you?
What are spook-trains?
Im the watchman here. An any o you
think its easy to watch for spook-trains.
Ghost-trains. Trains
that arent really there?
Spook-trains, I tell ee. Trains
that come out of that tunnel at night,
and drive back in, by
themselves, nobody driving em,
and you never know when
they're going to come.
Now you kids clear out.
Clear out, I tell you!
Lets go.
Come on, Timmy, come on. Now leave it.
What did he mean?
What are spook-trains?
Probably just his imagination. Living
alone in that deserted railway yard.
Good. I wouldnt like to see
a spook-train, would you?
I don't care what you say. Hes not.
He is a greedy pig! We wouldnt need
new supplies yet if Timmy hadnt gobbled
up all the food!
Well he does get hungry too, you know!
Hello!
Hello.
- Can I help you?
Hello! Our name is Kirrin.
Were camping up on the hill.
Can we get some food?
- III ask Mum!
Yes, of course you can.
Im Mr. Andrews, Jocks mother.
III just finish in the dairy.
Come on! III take you round!
Do you keep cows on the farm?
Weve got some. The dairy is over there.
III leave Timmy here
because of the animals.
This is my Dads prize bull.
Cor, look at this. Wow!
Bet hes got a lot of beef
on him. Rump steak and all.
Arent you lucky, Jock, living on a farm!
Ive always lived on one.
This ones my stepfathers.
Thats his car!
Hes not much of a farmer but
hes jolly generous to Mum.
Come and see my pups!
Oh great!
Oh! Theyre super!
Theyre my dog Biddys. But shes
not sure if she likes guests yet.
Oh look, there one goes!
Follow him!
This Barns full of lorries.
Oi, you!
Peters!
You keep out of there! And stay out!
III get the pup. Theres
dangerous machinery in there.
Lunch is ready.
Why don't you join us?
This is wonderful, Mrs.Andrews!
I don't know where to begin!
I II just get the milk.
Lets ask Jock. About
the spook-trains.
No!
What spook-trains?
The one that the old watchman says runs
through the deserted railway yard at night.
Have you seen it?
- No.
What are you talking about?
Dad! This is my stepfather, Mr.
Andrews. These are the Kirrins.
Hello.
Hi!
Have you been playing around
by that deserted railway yard?
If you have, listen to
me. Its a bad place.
Dont any of you ever
go down there again.
What do you mean?
Things haven happened there. Years
and years ago. Bad things, accidents.
It was all shut up after that. Youre
to stay away from there, do you hear?
Oh hello dear.
I wasnt expecting you back
yet! Do you want some lunch?
Yes. III have some in the kitchen.
Help yourselves.
Are you going down to the
deserted railway yard again?
Wed have to go at night.
Im not scared.
And wed have to go without the girls.
As if you could! Im not
going to be left behind!
Look, Anne wouldnt want to come.
And we cant leave
her at the camp alone.
She could have Timmy!
Timmy wont stay if you go!
Then she can stay with Mr. Luffy!
Oh yes, sure! We can just
go up to Mr. Luffy and say,
You wont mind if the rest of us go
off to explore a deserted railway yard
watched over by a mad
one-legged fellow who
swears there are
spook-trains, will you Sir?
Idiot! Hed stop us going! No!
The three of usll go one night
to have a look for the spook-train.
But...
- And thats final.
Oh, Im tired. Think III go to bed.
Good idea; so will I. Good
night, Mr. Luffy, girls.
Oh, yes, good night, good night.
Jock will be here at 12.
Right.
Jock?
Thats George!
Whats she doing?
Whos there?
What do you want?
Good old George! Shes tied string
round the entrance to our tent,
and III bet shes tied the other
end to her big toe, so she knows
if we go without her!
I know what well do. Make dummies.
Come on, Dick, lets go.
What are you doing out
there this time of the night?
I just came out to
take biddy for a walk.
Well, you wont be much help.
I had a breakdown on the road.
I need some water for the radiator.
Well, hadnt you better get back?
Shall we go?
Youre late!
Ran into Peters, breakdown on the road.
Ah well, theres enough
star-light to see by.
Dont use your torch
unless necessary! Lets go.
Look!
I hope its not the watchman.
Come on, lets see.
It is.
Doesnt look like hes
expecting a spook-train!
Maybe he doesn't
believe his own stories!
Listen!
Can you hear it?
Oh, its only one of those trains
running through an underground tunnel.
It isnt!
Come on!
My ankle! Its twisted!
Wed better get him back to camp.
No!
The spook-train!
Theyre not going anywhere tonight!
But there wasnt a signal or a light.
And I didn't see anyone in the cab!
There must have been someone driving it!
Come on, lets see!
My ankle!
The spook train! Its
coming back to the tunnel!
It must come from here.
That tunnel branches off into two forks.
Neither of them are very
long. Not more than a mile.
Wait! Whats that there?
Why don't you ask?
Ive been guard on every
train that ran along that line.
You know about the tunnels?
Oh aye; thats a very old tunnel, runs
into two forks; goes to two valleys,
Kiltys Cut and Rokers Vale, that
were bricked up years ago, accident.
So now trains can only
run through to Kiltys Cut?
Trains! No trains I know!
That tunnels not been used in many a
long year. This is the only line left now.
Why theres not been an engine
through to Kiltys Cut since
Since I were a young man!
Thank you, Sir.
Dick!
If that second tunnels bricked up, then
a train could only run from Kiltys Cut
Unless its a spook-train.
Lets go back there tonight and see
just where that train runs and why!
Right.
Jock?
String!
Watch out!
Lets synchronise watches.
12.15.
Ready!
Its the train!
You stay here to watch
for it is go back in again!
III go over to the other end of the
tunnel and wait for it in Kiltys Cut.
Right, Julian. Come on, Jock!
Lets wait here for it to come back!
This one certainly isnt bricked up!
Where is it? Its been half an hour
Here it comes!
Now Julian will see where it goes.
An hour!
Dick, Jock, its no good.
Where have you been? The spook-train
went back into the tunnel ages ago!
What?
- Got them.
Four sleeping bags, four groundsheets.
Here watch out.
Sorry.
- Mind the flowers.
Hey you!
Go on there. Get back.
Get out of the way. Ruddy animal.
