Pilot Script, Scene 6: Mr Headman's Office

Finally, we have a scene from the original pilot script that was presented (several times!) to various CSR representatives. Looking back on it, it is surprisingly gentle and old-fashioned, like something out of a 1970s sitcom. It's quite amusing, but with the scripts proper I decided to leave Mr Headman and his dementia in the background.

Pilot Script, Scene Six: Mr Headman’s Office

MR HEADMAN: Right, so, can we just run through this one more time Maureen?

MAUREEN:(SIGHS) Yes.

MR HEADMAN: So I’m going to give a speech?

MAUREEN: A speech, that’s right Mr Headman.

MR HEADMAN: And it’s to say goodbye . . .

MAUREEN: Hello! It’s to say hello!

MR HEADMAN: Why am I saying hello to them all if they’re leaving?

MAUREEN: They’re not leaving Mr Headman. They’re the new in-take. This is a welcoming speech.

MAUREEN: You’re the Dean of the University Mr Headman.

MR HEADMAN: Good grief! Didn’t I do well? Wait till I tell mother.

MAUREEN: Your mother’s dead Mr Headman.

MR HEADMAN: Is she? Oh, what terrible bad luck. How did that happen, then?

MAUREEN: She died giving birth to you Mr Headman, 65 years ago.

MR HEADMAN: Did she really? Gosh, easy to forget these minor details isn’t it? Remind me to send a wreath.Okay then. Leave it to me Agnes, everything’s under control.
