But he’s a useless bureaucrat and does nothing to help the desperate Mr Boggs at a crucial time for the company’s future – or that’s how he would have been portrayed had he survived the final edit. (Note: the scene was cut.)

      WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN

       The workers at W.C. Boggs and Son are striking again and a meeting is arranged with the general secretary of the employees’ union to try and resolve the dispute.

       EXT. THE WORKS – DAY

       The wheels are at a standstill, the chimney’s dead, and there is no sign of life whatsoever.

       EXT. THE WORKS YARD – DAY

       A chauffeur-driven car purrs in. It comes to a stop in front of the works entrance. Vic, dressed fairly smartly and carrying papers, gets out and bows and scrapes to a large, stout, well-dressed, well-read, prosperous-looking gentleman getting out of the car. This is Mr Allcock, the general secretary of the union, who looks very sunburnt.

       INT. BOGGS’ OFFICE – DAY

       The Board Table has been set with paper and pencils, glasses and water jug for a meeting.

       Boggs, Lewis and Sid are standing waiting tensely as the door opens and Withering looks in and whispers excitedly.

      WITHERING: They’re here, Mr Boggs.
