Series Two Unseen
As you will no
doubt be aware, the script for the second series had to be
re-written in parts to make the story work without Gary
Holton in as big a role. Here we have a collection of
scenes, gathered from various sources, in the way that they
were intended. Enjoy.
Here is
the original scene where Wayne attempts to 'pull' Vicki in
the Marbella casino.
Casino (INT).
WAYNE and MOXEY
are sitting at the black Jack table. Wayne is dealt two
cars, looks at them and winces. VICKI walks past behind
them. WAYNE notices and turns to the croupier.
WAYNE: Fold.
WAYNE
walks away leaving MOXEY at the Black Jack table on his own.
He walks over to the bar and stands next to VICKI.
WAYNE: Surprise,
surprise. Your old man let you off the leash has he?
VICKI: No, me
old mans kicked me out.
WAYNE: Oh dear,
lovers tiff was it?
VICKI: With Ally
it's always business. Hallwoods down there, and thats not
for my ears.
WAYNE: Just as
well, you don't want to be bothering yourself with all that
off shore tax shelter dialogue, what'll it be?.
WAYNE
indictes at VICKI's glass.
OZ and
BOMBER are sitting at a seperate black jack table from MOXEY
at the other end of the casino. BOMBER's attention is
diverted to the bar. He picks up his chips and stands up.
OZ: Are you
cashin' in?
BOMBER:
Business.
BOMBER indicates
to the bar.
BOMBER: Vicki's'
Ally's girls, and Waynes Wayne, right?
OZ: Eh lad, he's
like one of those wire-haired terriers is'nt he, that keeps
humping away at your leg.
Back at
the bar, WAYNE is well in to his chat up routine, when
suddenly BOMBER's giant hands slap on to his shoulders.
BOMBER: Wayne me
old dear.
WAYNE (GENUINELY
SURPRISED): Oh hello Bomb.
BOMBER: It's
your lucky night me old duck, those two travel agents have
showed up. I think that Daphnes' taken quite a shine to you.
No problem there Admiral.
BOMBER
elbows WAYNE sharply in the ribs.
WAYNE: What are
you on about?
BOMBER (TO
VICKI): I love the way this lad comes on all innocent and
naive.
BOMBER pulls
WAYNE away from the bar, out of VICKI's earshot.
WAYNE: Whats
your game?
BOMBER: I'm
protecting you from yourself Wayne, and the rest of us. That
Vickis' private property.
WAYNE: I know
that, do you think I'm an idiot or something?
BOMBER: No, I
know you're an idiot.
Back at
the bar VICKI is now sitting alone. OZ approaches the bar
and makes eye contact with her.
VICKI: So that
was the rescue was it.
OZ: Sorry?
VICKI: Howay I'm
not daft.
OZ: Look, we all
know the way Wayne gans on, and he can be a bit out of
order.
VICKI: Oh, he's
not so bad. He just saw I was down in the dumps and just
offered a bit of conversation. It's just his way of trying
to get my pants off.
This following
piece was filmed, but never made it to the final edit. This
scene was cut from the episode 'Cowboys', and belongs just
after Howard has arrived and spoken to Neville and Bomber.
HOWARD MAKES HIS
WAY UP THE STAIRS. DENNIS IS WAITING TO GREET HIM.
DENNIS: Morning
Howard.
HOWARD: Morning
Dennis.. (SEEING OZ WORKING WITH EXAGGERATED SPEED) Your
lads are making good progress.
DENNIS: Canny
workers, you see - that's why Ally chose 'em. We're running
out of things to do though.
HOWARD
(BRANDISHING PLANS): That's where I come in....put some
brains behind the brawn.
DOWN THE LANDING
OZ MAKES A 'WANKER' GESTURE WHICH DENNIS CATCHES. HE GLOWERS
AT OZ
DENNIS: Right
then, Howard - come into my little office, why don't you...?
AND HE ESCORTS
HOWARD INTO THE ROOM AND CLOSES THE DOOR. OZ IMMEDIATELY
STOPS WORK.
Again this next
piece was filmed and missed from the final edit. Only half
of this scene was broadcast. Again it is from 'Cowboys', and
it is the scene where Dennis first learns of the poor
material that they are to use. I have used some of the
transmitted scene to make it clearer where it is from.
DENNIS: Howard -
I'll tell you. I've got my reasons for working to Ally's
orders, now I don't like what I'm doing, but I know exactly
why I'm doing it. What's your excuse son?
HOWARD(RATTLED):
I don't have to give you any justifications. Now can we get
on please (UNROLLING TECHNICAL DRAWINGS)
Right - here's the preliminary drawings. The second
stairwell stays put because the idea of a lift is too
expensive.
DENNIS: So only
the fittest OAPs can stay here, right (ANGRY)
Bloody hell, Howard - you better tell Ally next time you
talk to him that he's on thin ice with this one. What am I
supposed to tell my lads when they rumble what he's up to?
HOWARD: That's
your problem sport.
Another bunch of
cuts where made in 'Cowboy's in the scene where Harry
arrives. The first was this short exchange between Bomber
and Oz.
OZ AND BOMBER
ARE UNLOADING A LORRY
OZ: What do you
reckon Bomber - is this plaster-board early or late
eighteenth century?
BOMBER: Looks
like to reproduction stuff to me Oz.
The next cut
came when Harry had just agreed to help the lads labour
before meeting them. At the end of the episode, Dennis says
to Harry..." thats why they call you monkey wrench...", Well
this scene makes that said line make sense.
DENNIS: Good
lad, we'll have a break soon and I'll introduce you to the
rest of the lads.
AS HARRY IS
ABOUT TO LEAVE HIS TRUCK, THERE IS A CRACKLE FROM THE CB
RADIO INSIDE ON THE DASHBOARD(This explains the arial on
Harry's truck). WE DISTINGUISH THAT IT IS A WOMAN'S VOICE.
VOICE ON CB:
Come on Monkey wrench, do you copy?
HARRY: Oh hell,
it's the wife.
DENNIS: Who's
Monkey wrench?
HARRY: That's my
twenty - my call sign for the radio. She's 'Big Alice'.
DENNIS: Makes a
change from pet I suppose...
HARRY (LEANING
INTO CAB, PICKING UP HANDSET): Monkey Wrench calling Big
Alice.
VOICE ON CB: You
forgot your flask and butties again Monkey Wrench.
HARRY (INTO
HANDSET): Negatory, Big Alice - I've told you a million
times before. I won't eat Spam sandwiches without mustard
pickle. You forget it, I forget them. Over and out.
DENNIS: I though
those CBs were supposed to improve communications.
HARRY: It's the
only time we talk, Dennis... come on then lets get stuck in.
AND DENNIS LEADS
HARRY OVER TO THE BUILDERS TRUCK.
This scene takes
place at the beginning of No Sex please we're Brickies.
Following the fight at the house, Ally has arrived back in
Newcastle. He pulls up in a taxi. Big Baz comes out to
greet him....
TAXI PULLS INTO
YARD OUTSIDE SAUNA. THE DRIVER GETS OUT AND OPENS THE DOOR
FOR HIM. BIG BAZ COMES OUT OF THE OFFICE TO HELP HIM WITH
THE BAG. BAZ WEARS A LARGE PLASTER ON HIS NOSE.
ALLY: (Handing
bag over) Here - see if you can handle that without getting
damaged. Is Hallwood here yet?
BAZ: Yeah, he's
in your office waiting boss.
ALLY: (Taking in
the state of Baz's face) You ever thought about buying
shares in elastoplast?
BAZ: (PUZZLED)
No. I'll get on to it first thing in the morning though.
ALLY SHAKES HIS
HEAD AND MAKES HIS WAY IN FOLLOWED BY BAZ.
