washing up in this house I do me too you never do the washing up you always leave it to someone else at least I do some cooking well I clear up the kitchen how often I did it last month right that does it [Music] okay everybody as from today we're going to keep this place clean and tidy what's the sheet of paper for I can guess it's a rotor for all the jobs around the house so this week Jane you're cleaning the kitchen and cooking at the weekend david is doing the washing up and on Friday he's doing the shopping mats cleaning the bathroom and cooking monday to wednesday and i'm cleaning the living room and cooking on thursday and friday has everybody got that yes yep good [Music] hi hi what are you doing what does it look like I'm doing why have you got that shopping let's see

we go in the wrong way [Music] this was a great idea Thanks it's a shame Helen isn't here look at that what [Music] [Music] this is really strange it just appeared from nowhere really that's funny what look at that bag it looks just like Helens in one of his plays Shakespeare said something about not telling the truth I wish I could remember what it was [Music] mornings aren't my favorite time

much special stay there you must keep warm okay I'll go and get ready we can go another time so I didn't get to see the salsa bangle Simon game set and match to Jane [Music] [Music] we all like our food in this house but I think David likes it a bit more than the rest of us nobody else wants this all of it David honestly where do you put it you're such a pig if you're not careful you'll put on weight he's already flabby no not apparently Simon used to be quite fat I'm not flabby he keeps very fit now he goes to the gym four four times a week the gyms are so boring I play tennis he starts competitive you used to play tennis I don't have the time now anyway Julia thinks I look good yes but will Julia still think that when you like a balloon [Laughter] a hundred and fifty pounds a month

isn't the first time they used to do a lot of exercise I bet that was a long time ago right wait [Music] [Applause] thank you taxi why did you let it go but don't you want to walk into town it's much better exercise come on so that was the end of David's five-day or should I say your one-day membership of the health club he never went there again [Music] [Applause] last Saturday we watched a horror film some of us found it really frightening [Music] horrible people always do stupid things in horror films rubbish it's good fun it was very well made that's just what I was gonna say thank you who wants coffee oh I'll get it I wouldn't go in the kitchen if I were you no no Simon don't the ghosts oh yeah the ghosts actually what thought nothing David well there might be a ghost in this house we're in the kitchen what kind of ghost the ghost of a dog don't be silly yeah it's true I don't know anything about this well before this house was built when was this house built about 120 years ago go on before this house was built they used to be an old cottage here an old man lived in it and he had a large black dog and everywhere he went the dog went with him it never left him how do you know all this one of the neighbors told us anyway the man was killed in an accident a new family moved into the cottage and the dog was taken away by the old man's sister but that very first evening yes the dog went back to the house and started howling what happened then the owners chased it away but it kept coming back every night they chased it away every night it came back and helped and then well not long after that the cottage was destroyed by a fire and this house was built ten years later so where's the ghost well when they were building this house they found a skeleton of a large dog in the cellar and the neighbor says that sometimes late at night a dog is heard howling yeah there's always a logical explanation for that kind of thing what would you do if you saw a ghost they don't exist if I saw a ghost I'd run away if I saw a ghost the ghost would run away okay Simon go make the coffee but don't say I didn't warn you [Music] did you two really hear that story yeah [Music] the others fancy some toasts do you want something no thanks that was a great story who said it was a story you know the funny thing is what well although I don't really believe in that sort of thing yes I have sometimes heard a dog howling late at night and I always thought it was coming from this house hi it's Matt yes are you all right yes yes I'm fine Matt what if I were you I wouldn't turn the light off in your bedroom tonight very funny [Music] [Applause] [Music] the next morning Matt looked very tired for some reason [Music] [Music] it was a typical Saturday night but Matt was acting rather strangely [Music] oh thanks for you all right Matt yes are you expecting someone No well come on Matt tell us what's been going on blow was working today and I just got for lunch I was walking into Radcliffe Square when I saw a girl she was doing a survey you know interviewing people on the street except she wasn't having much luck nobody wanted to stop how long have you
