1 EXT. THE BEACH. DAY<br />

1<br />

July 1962. <strong>Chesil</strong> <strong>Beach</strong> in summer calm and late afternoon glory.<br />

We are looking along a seventeen-mile-long, narrow finger of<br />

shingle, running between the English Channel and a salt lagoon<br />

know as the Fleet.<br />

Shimmering in the far distance, at the limits of optical<br />

resolution, two figures, EDWARD MAYHEW and FLORENCE PONTING,<br />

approach us.<br />

CREDITS<br />

Now we see that they are holding hands.... that they are man and<br />

woman. Their voices and laughter are close, as is the tramping<br />

of their feet on the shingle.<br />

EDWARD (V.O.)<br />

So, we’re in E<br />

FLORENCE (V.O.)<br />

The tonic.<br />

No, E.<br />

EDWARD (V.O.)<br />

FLORENCE (V.O.)<br />

All right.<br />

EDWARD (V.O.)<br />

So, er, four bars of that, you know<br />

the sort of thing, Woke up this<br />

morning, head felt so bad, then, um, a<br />

nice seventh, then into A...<br />

FLORENCE (V.O.)<br />

The sub-dominant...<br />

EDWARD (V.O.)<br />

Never mind that.<br />

FLORENCE (V.O.)<br />

And what does he say now?<br />

EDWAR D (V.O.)<br />

He says, Woke up this morning, head<br />

felt so bad. Same thing, different<br />

chord, see.
