Title: Mercury Movies Presents – The Human Touch
Some people arrive by car with their luggage at Guiseley Railway Station, where there is a poster advertising trips to the Isle of Man. They make their way onto the platform. More people arrive, and there is a porter carrying some of their bags. A man stands smoking and reading a paper. Then a tramp walks onto the platform and walks around with his hat trying to collect some money. He has no luck until one man puts a copper coin into his hat.
A vicar, who seems to be becoming a bit concerned, takes the coin out of the hat, and demonstrably replaces it with a couple of pounds from his wallet. He then urges the tramp to go around again, and this time everyone else also puts money into the hat. The tramp walks off and the train arrives.
They all get on except the vicar, who walks out of the station and puts on a coat and scarf to hide his dog collar. He walks over to where the tramp is leaning against a Jaguar car, who then divides the money between the two of them. They get into the car and drive off.
The End
