down there to feed them

what all right three of them down at the

bottom miss one of the lads told me

so i went over it and talked to the

fellows and again and i wouldn't let me

in they wouldn't even listen

i thought perhaps if you talk to the

colonel

yes yes of course

[Music]

steve has ponies in the mind they're

stuck at the bottom mr platt says no

one's feeding them what can we do

do we can't just leave them there

the pit men look after them but they're

not

why not

well

they must have forgotten

don't be daft or they wouldn't forget

they must have

okay

we'll go and see

so

can i talk to whoever's in charge

oh what's the one it's about the ponies

we were told they're still in the mine

yeah

well

they're being fed you are looking after

them

ask him if his kids are being fed lady

you're not worrying about him i notice

that's got nothing to do with it oh no

we've only got two legs that's our

trouble

who are you i'm dora from folly foot

this is steve

hollywood what's that it's a farm we

look after horses oh

so you want us to get the ponies out yes

fellas in the face

they're fighting the only way they know

i'm sorry

you're to keep out of it dora now is

that clear we can't just leave them we

don't interfere

uncle we have to i can't just stand here

and do nothing none of us can

dora

was there an rspca man there

yes

he wasn't doing anything well there's

nothing much he can do

who do you think told him about the

ponies in the first place

i

did who do you think telephoned a cold

board this morning before you were up

probably

i did

and the miners union

we're not just standing about doing

nothing as you put it

we are doing things the proper way

finding out in the first place whether

it's true well it may not be

now this is a very delicate situation

and i don't want you interfering

is that clear

[Music]

ah

you're right

it's them ponies

what are we innit to do

they'll be kicking

pulling on their collars

wondering why no way hey it's probably

not as bad as all that

but it tastes like a

tears look

leave it to the colonel

he can't do anything he said so

no one can

it's so

cruel but innocent

they haven't done anything

[Music]

couldn't

wouldn't you mean but uncle they're safe

they're not going to put them back are

they it'll be put to a vote you said

they have to decide i don't make their

decisions

but i know them

i wish i knew you better

you're right

we hate

you don't

we make things

black

you don't

you're an innocent dora

we should all be the same

[Music]

i meddle

i plunge in

at the time it seems so right and easy

and

uncomplicated

but it isn't

is it

[Music]

i think

to the innocent

it is

[Music]

uh

[Laughter]

you should have left them at folly foot

till after the vote they couldn't don't

you see the whole object of them coming

was that the triumph will return

so they could decide what's to be done

with them not you

it's a victory see they set out to get

them and there they are

they

it's only a small victory but it's

better than none

i can't give them the big ones anymore

we're done for

no

you get

tired of fighting

fill your time with

unimportant skirmishes

and leave the wars to

others

younger men you mustn't you're not done

for

uncle can't we do something haven't you

done enough

tell them this

set the ponies free and we'll take some

of the men and all the arguments up to

london

i'll come with you

i don't suppose it'll do any good

but at least we'll see the right people

and give them a run for their money

well

please matt

one more try

my god

you're everything i should despise do

you know that

silver spoon fancy education

class

all the things we kid ourselves we hate

but there's something in you i wish i

still had

head down and go for it hey never mind

what it's got to be

you make it

what is it head heart gut

all right

we'll try

and when things go badly

and it looks like we're done for again

i'll think of yourself

[Applause]

[Music]
