Theme from Chariots of Fire plays. Beaker Folk fail to jump over hurdles. Mayhem ensues.
Archdruid (drinking glass of champagne): See, Hnaef - I told you not to put them on the hurdles.
Hnaef (drinking glass of champagne): Shall we run around the jolly old court before the clock has finished striking 12 doncherknow doncherknow?

| Definitely not a stereotype |
All: Wasn't that Harold Abrahams did that?
David George Brownlow Cecil, 6th Marquess of Exeter KCMG OLY: No. It was I, David Lord Burghley. As thinly disguised and portrayed by all-round toff, Nigel Havers.
Charlii: Oh - I thought that was Hugh Boneville?
Nigel Havers: No.
Young Keith: Or Stephen Mangham?
Stephen Mangham: Don't be silly. I was 12 when it came out.
Hnaef: Or Colin Firth?
Alison Steadman: Oooh! Mr Darcy!
Burton Dasset: Jeremy Irons?
Daphne: I thought he was also Nigel Havers.
Archdruid: Can we get back to Vangelis?
All: Let's
Archdruid: So we say goodbye to Vangelis, and pray that he will always be together in Electric Dreams.
All: That's Giorgio Moroder.
Archdruid: Ah yes. Then let us all pray he finds his way home.
A time of speaking in far-ancient tongues
Archdruid: As it is written in the Book of Jon and Vangelis, if you're asking me when, I'll say it starts at the end.
All: We drift to heaven bringing in the morning light
Archdruid: And after all is said and done
All: There's only us we can make it right
Archdruid: So, our love will carry on and on
All: Now, our love will be free, be free
Archdruid: And so we set pray Vangelis will be set free to know Divine Nature
All: Super Nature
Archdruid: The supreme gift of knowledge and space
All: In this cacophony of life
The Peace
Archdruid: Peace will come
All: Peace will come
Archdruid: Peace will come
All: Peace will come
Archdruid: Peace will come
All: Peace will come
Archdruid: And we hope Vangelis will see the light of..
All: A true horizon
Archdruid: Do you reckon this is a bit niche?
All: Dunno. Best ask the Friends of Mr Cairo.
Archdrduid: Do you know where they are?
All: Last seen on the Mayflower.
Archdruid: Mayflower, do you copy?
Blessing of the Mayflower
We sailing pass the moment of time
To be honest I had to look up who Vangelis was? And when I found out, I was still as unexcited. He wrote a tune, which helped Nigel Havers in an acting role to run like the clappers (not the spectators) to prove a point? That is that Nigel Havers is now a grand old man, featuring on the Bidding shop on BBC1 in the evenings where his displays his knowledge of nothing and portrays his partner/spouse as a dragon to be feared? I was wondering if he was actually married to the Arch Druid?
